Happy Monday, everyone. I wanted to let you know about a few new features we'll be unveiling this week, if we get around to it. First, we'll finally have a few of those long-promised guest pieces from your favorite Deadspin commenters (your favorite Deadspin commenter is IMG, right?). Second, we are going to be introducing a new feature that will have a tournament of commenters feel. I won't reveal all the details, mostly because I haven't given them a ton of thought yet, but it will allow you guys to vote on your favorite comments of the day with the winners advancing to compete against each other, and the big winner getting the glorious prize of our eternal jealousy and respect and the ability to make their own commemorative t-shirt on Zazzle.com to celebrate their achievement. Yes, I know stuff like this has been done before, but never like this: totally fixed!
Anyway, stay tuned. And here's a Youtube clip to get you started.
When you see me comment this week that "Sandusky took Phintastic's star and gave it to Whitlock!!!1!1!", do not believe the rumors that Bevraj paid me off to throw a tournament game.
ReplyDeleteI just happen to find that image humorous.
I'll bet Whitlock ate it because it totally reminded him of Carl's Jr.!1!!
DeleteDoes anybody know who Tony Kaye is?
ReplyDeleteUh, someone with radically different taste in "humor" than me?
DeleteUmmm...Not 1, Not 2, Not 3's dad?
DeleteI think he's some sort of Gizmodo editor, based on his comment history, and his being asked questions about stars over there.
DeleteI don't mean to take a shot at Not 1, Not 2, Not 3 (though that's not a joke at all, come on), but Tony Kaye appears to have the ability to star/destar but does not write any posts. Gizmodo's comment ninja? I'm not sure.
DeleteWhile we're on the subject, some weird starrings around here lately.
Well, at least Gamboa doesn't have to worry about that pesky "Worst Star Ever" tag any longer.
DeleteWatch it, buddy.
DeleteCome to think of it, he once unstarred me solely to restar me for a comment that he liked. Guess he couldn't just "+1" like everyone else
DeleteTony Kaye is also the name of the guy who directed American History X, AND the name of the on-again, off-again keyboard player for Yes. So Tony Kaye, the commenter is now extra-sucky by comparison.
DeleteSo much for that...
DeleteNewell_mac ruined Wake Up Deadspin!1!!11?!
ReplyDeleteToo dumb for Deadspin (or anywhere). Re: hockey goalie post
ReplyDeleteA: 13 on 46
Q: What is Jerry Sandusky in 1990?!?!??!
Also, why the fuck did the captchas get so hard to read? They used to be nice and easy.
IMG, for this "tournament" thingy, as a Duke alum, I get overseeded by 4 spots, right?
ReplyDeleteAll I'M saying is, there better be fucking flower floats.

ReplyDeleteIf you enjoy having your head explode, read his comment history.
Just curious if "snowburnt" got this joke yet.

His reply is even funnier when you realize that Limbaugh did OXYcontin and is a moran!!1!!1
DeleteTelecomic/Smoak wants answers, dammit!

ReplyDeleteAnd that's the edited version. Sweet heavens.
DeleteOh, boy, those Gawker commenters sure are touchy!
ReplyDeletehttp://gawker.com/5890655/do-not-go-to-a-second+tier-law-school-under-any-circumstances?comment=47649823#comments
Wow, that Broseph guy is a douche. (Somehow, that's not so shocking.) Good to see some people over there actually got that you were, you know, making a joke.
DeleteHonestly, guys like him are why I refuse to read anything on Gawker.com, including posts about Olivia Munn getting saucy.
DeleteCheap Beer, like I said, the guy actually gave me a -1 for a Derek Fisher joke I made a few weeks ago: http://deadspin.com/5884221/jeremy-lin-is-eating-derek-fisher-alive?comment=46899023#comments
DeleteGranted, what I said wasn't that funny, but something tells me he wasn't judging the quip on its merits (or lack thereof), but rather the anti-LA bias.
And yes, Uwe, he IS a gaping twat.
Say what you want about Broseph Gordon-Levitt, but he's got the market cornered on geographical weather jokes.
DeleteHilarious
Gut Busting
That's what I mean, BH. Look, I know I'm not the funniest guy on Deadspin (not by a long shot), but to get called out by a guy who posts such unfunny shit like that is absolutely brutal. And he calls himself "Broseph." That whole "Let's shoehorn 'Bro' into every name" meme stopped being hilarious three years ago! (That is, if it was even funny in the first place.)
DeleteOh, and the LA avatar is just the icing on the smug cake. What a self-serious prick.
Lionel, I get your frustration. I had my first +1 worth comment in forever last week and lobsr shit all over it. Granted, that's not the same as what BroLA pulled, but it's irritating all the same.
DeleteI wouldn't worry too much, those who matter know your stuff is good.
SHUT UP, LIBRONEL BROSBROURNE!
DeleteWhatever you say, Brona Lisa
DeleteI have received a revelation from our Heavenly Father that BGL is an unfunny asswipe.
DeleteDid you guys get my texts?
DeleteI don't know anything about this Gordon-Levitt guy cornholing jokes, I just heard he was horsing around.
DeleteThis week is the one year anniversary of MBA's daily rundowns.
ReplyDeleteYes.

ReplyDeleteYet another perfectly acceptable instance of people making different jokes on the same topics just moments away from each other. I liked all four of these.
I definitely was about to make my own Bea Arthur joke, saw it had already ably been taken care of, twice, and scrolled the page upward in shame. Should have started a Bea Arthur pyramid.
DeleteShould have started a Bea Arthur pyramid.
-A guy who says sentences that are really, really weird out of context, and even in context.
What I loved is that we had the same tie-in, but such completely different takes on it.
DeleteWelcome, friend!
