Caption Battle: The Borsch Battle Is OVAH!

"It's that time again..."
"To argue who voiced the best Gohan?"
"To grow an impeccable beard?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, because Asian people talk funny: Zeru!

Souseiseki: I feer so ronry.

In second place, surely amusing those Gurren Lagann crazies out there: Miss Anonymous!

Kanaria & Hinaichigo: Our moe will pierce the heavens!
Souseiseki: *facepalm*

And in the coveted first place, probably unintentionally but because captions need not always be stories or quotes... Rageon!

...I can't write a caption for this, it just melted my eyes.

What day is it today... the 24th? Congratulations, everyone, you've all almost survived Rozen Maiden Month...

So once again, coming from the archives of The Moecholy of Desbreko Suzumiya comes a Rozen Maiden screencap. Once again, it's Suiseiseki. But this time, she brought props:

Caption Battle: Tastes Like Diabetes...

I've got dinner back in Smallville waitin' for me; let's get this done fast...

Last week's winners:

In third place, being wordy but not boring (which takes talent): TwistedCyberChick!

Suiseiseki: Come on, Sou! Pose with me! These are the cutest outfits ever! I'm so updating my blog after this. Sou, hurry up! It's gonna flash!
Souseiseki [muttered reading]: Assassinations are best accomplished during a moment of distraction. Having a concealed weapon, perhaps hidden within an over-sized sleeve, is recommended. If inside a building, it is also best to be on tile or wood flooring. [glancing down; to Suiseiseki] Sister, move onto the tile please.

Moral: Not all twins like ruffles.

In second place, for being just plain wrong yet oh so amusing (and not quite crossing the line, which also takes talent): TimeChaser!

"Double the Loli, double the fun!"

And in the coveted first place... because traps are funny... Koneko Krysta!

It's cute until you find out it's crossplay.

Fun times... so, whose brains are melting so far? No? Good, 'cause we've still half a month to go!

Once again, Rozen Maiden. Once again, courtesy of Desbro of the Nine Moe. We have Souseiseki in the pink, Kanaria in the black, and Hinaichigo in the white. Lord have mercy on you all...

Caption Battle: Photoshoots Are Hard...

"It's that time again..."
"To ready the DVR for post-Christmas television?"
"To put on those snow tires we needed last month?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, because rhyming parodies will never hurt your chances: BloodRedArab!

"I'm a little teapot, short and stout,
Here is my handle,and here is my spout.
When I get all steamed up, hear me shout!
I'm passive-aggressive and scalding water pours out!"

In second place, because aerosol deterrents are always funny: lazyweird1!

Today's item on this edition "Antiques Road Show" is Ye Olde Pepper Spray!

And in the coveted first place position, no-nonsense as ever... TimeChaser!

They've got some crazy s--t in Holland.

And let it be known that in examples as the above, you win with the delivery, not the vocabulary. Also, I was probably in a fickle mood today.

Ahem.

Moving on to this week's caption battle in this accursed "Rozen Maiden Month" courtesy of Moeman Des', we have the twins (left to right) Souseiseki and Suiseiseki. Think of this week' image as a creative exercise; see if you can draw out the funny:

Meantime, podcasters evidently have some sort of high standard for these and as such are harsh critics. Give 'em something to shut 'em up. I promise it'll feel good...

Caption Battle: Rozen Maiden Month...

"It's that time again..."
"To try to assassinate Hitler?"
"To listen to Morgan Freeman's voice?"
"No... it's time for this week's caption battle!"

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, because Dragonball references are usually funny if not tragic: Rei-syn!

This is another example of Dragon Ball Z's fusion dance gone wrong.

In second place, being a factor for many future weeks to come: red tigress!

Aizawa: "I feel like we're just looking at the last two weeks' caption battles combined."

And in the coveted first place, nailing the best reference of the past many months... red.alchemist!

I hate it when my schwartz gets stuck! Okay, maybe if you put your hand here... okay, your leg here... okay, now push.

Bwahaha... Space Balls... anyway, good stuff.

A'ight, on grounds that screencap submissions and Ye Olde Archives have been running a little thin as of late... you're all in for trouble now.

Courtesy of Desbreko and his monstrous moe appetite... January is officially "Rozen Maiden Month" in the caption battle. Be afraid.

This week's screencap features Suiseiseki on the left and someone whose name I missed when I nabbed this shot - it's probably not that important in the long run. See what you can do:

Not that I'm not forgiving or anything, just saying...

Caption Battle: Victim/Assailant Confusion

"It's caption battle time. Happy New Year."

But first, last week's winners:

In third place, because pretending to not call girls fat is always good for grins: AsagiTaichou!

I didn't do it! She just started crying! But I SWEAR I didn't call her "fat"!

In second place, reading the screencap for all it was worth: Ichigo of Anime Pulse!

Akane couldn't bear to face Shampoo and co. after the amazing zinger regarding her fiance's yellow scarf.

And in the coveted first place, being funnier depending on who you are... TrinityLight!

AHH YOUR HAND IS COLD!

Bweh heh heh... good job, guys and girls.

So this week's screencap comes courtesy of Ryosuke Forever and features the series Nabari no Ou. Going from left to right, the characters are: Raimei Shimizu, Miharu Rokujou, Tobari Kumohira, and Kouichi Aizawa. Give 'er a go:
