Someone explain this "joke" to me

[blindswelledrat]

Taken from another thread. I just don't get this at all.Given that it is obviously intended to be funny, and casting aside my fury for people who thing using "owned" or even more cretinously "pwned" is clever- what is the actual humour here?
Is it just that one man has lots more points than the other two?
It can't be just that surely. .... COuld it?

Its because the girl in pink is fat.

[Flanders.]

I assume its because Ken, has completly mullerd the other two.

[Morningside]

Think so. My name is RICH, yet I have minus $1,600.

I spotted that & thought the same. I assumed it was the subtle irony between his name & the amount of money that he had.

[blindswelledrat]

Please dont tell me that the joke is that his name is RIch yet he doesnt have nay money.
Someone hasn't really gone to the effort of writing "Pwned" on that have they?

[10 Pence Short]

I would say it was related to the man called 'Rich' who is minus over a thousand dollars.


And no, it isn't funny. None of the 'owned' pictures are funny. Neither is the 'Oh really' series or the cat in the ceiling watching the self fulfilling.

Is it not like Weakest link where they vote each other off and obviously she must have voted herself off as she is the only female and must be Jennifer ?

[blindswelledrat]

I don't think so Barney, but top marks for effort.

[chevykevv]

Is it that Jennifer has voted herself out?

If it's like Weakest witch, you have to name the person to be evicted, if not I don't get it either.

Damn fat fingered typing you beat me barney.

That was certainly my take on it. Still not very funny though.

Maybe we are assuming its far more humerous than it is.

I have never heard of Weakest Witch so I don't really know what you are saying.
I doubt that anyone would make a joke that is so obscure that it neccesitates knowing the rules and regulations of a game show that noone has heard of.

Does that mean you know the answer but aren't going to tell anyone?

[barney123]

Looking at her she just seems to be thinking "WTF I am I doing here?"

I meant weakest link....not witch.(I was thinking winking witch)...going back to my cupboard..

[Dan_1981]

Not exactly no....

I have a feeling, somewhere deep down in the pit of my stomach that this thread may not have been started as an entirely serious question.....

the whoosh was more in response to the weakest link answers......

infact i'm not entirely sure they were serious either.
