  2. Masturbation jokes having to do with Andrews being a peeping victim: +1s for everybody!

    Funnyish but forgettable comment making fun of a target that actually deserves it: BOOOOOOOOOOO

    Got it.

    1. If by "ish" you mean, "not", then yeah. ESPN is headquartered in a city that bears the same name as a former politician who is a stale target for easy bashing "jokes". I get it. I got it approximately 5000 similar "jokes" ago.

      Do me a favor. Click on the #MAKEITSTOP hashtag. Then explain to me how this comment didn't embody the utter reason for its existence. The two previous entries on this very subject might clue you in.

      Toodles,

    3. I'm surprised at your defense of this comment, Balrog. I mean, I don't think it's all that terrible of a comment myself, but I would have expected a more forceful approach from a Guy Who always hit so hard in Street Fighter.

      Oh well. I guess it's norn of my bizness.

    4. "Funnyish" is perhaps too strong. It's not really funny at all. BUT...

      Of all the utter putrid shit that has been on Deadspin this week, that's the one you pick out? Because the Circlejerkboro considers something "tired"? Not everyone obsessively reads and remembers every Deadspin comment ever made. In the same thread you have multiple comments making fun of her as a victim, an awful Fox News whatever, some inside baseball from a star, and about 12 cents' worth of idiot commentary.

    5. Again, see the hashtag.

      I don't do "dud" roundups. There would be way too many. #MAKEITSTOP is specifically about the most tired, predictable, and overdone joke formats that need to be put to bed. This one has already been highlighted, twice.

      Everything I write is one man's opinion. I make no secret of that. But I doubt I'd find much disagreement among solid commenters, in "Circlejerkboro" or elsewhere, that the Bristol,CT/Bristol Palin connection ran its course even before her mother's presidential campaign did.

      You're certainly free to disagree, however inexplicably. I welcome the discussion. But you won't make #MAKEITSTOP stop.

    6. No, you're right, the three Bristol jokes in the last two months are inexcusable. Because everything on Deadspin is completely original, and no joke has EVER been worn out.

    7. Well put.

      The fact that other worn out joke themes exist completely invalidates the creation and continuation of #MAKEITSTOP.

    8. This thread... #MAKEITSTOP

    9. I thought I had.

      But it's constructive dialogue about comments. Just what I like to see.

    10. Why can't you just let it go, Balrog? You're being awfully insensible.

  3. There are plenty of former MLB journeymen who have water bills. There are also plenty of bad Deadspin comments with similar themes. I like to think of the "Bristol, CT reference = Bristol Palin Make It Stop joke" as the "Oddibe McDowell Water Bill" of MKMUB. Sure, there are other water bills that could be covered and other bad jokes that could be criticized, but for some reason, they chose to focus on this one.

    I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm really just holding out hope for An Oral History of Bristol Palin Make It Stop Jokes from the editors at MKMUB down the road. That would be nice.

      I'm hoping to get something oral from Bristol Palin, ifyouknowwhatI'msayin'!!!

      No, seriously. She has a Hershiser Donruss rookie card that I need to complete the whole set.

  4. While we're on this topic, has anyone else noticed that every joke Sharting makes is a comment that I had already thought of and decided not to post? How unoriginal.
