Last Time: Yakov Smirnoff>+5
Not much of a showing...anyway...now it is time for another meme to be brought to judgement. Will this competitor fair better than the Numa Numa meme?
Also, the champions have been crowned. Futurama takes it's spot back on the top of the mountain, while George Carlin takes the Comedian crown he was VERY close to holding last time but fell short of Weird Al Yankovic by less than one hand of votes. Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged wins the nonexistant most improved award, going from being voted not funny last time to holding the "other" title this time around. And Zombieland, despite only having only a decent score, holds the movie title. I might have to bring out some bigger guns in that category...anyway, onto today's nominee:
A lolcat (usually pronounced LOLL-kat, with the "lol" not being an initialism; sometimes pronounced L-O-L cat) is an image combining a photograph of a cat, with a humorous and idiosyncratic caption in (often broken) English—a dialect which is known as "lolspeak" or "kitty pidgin" and which parodies the poor grammar typically attributed to Internet slang. The name "lolcat" is a compound word of the acronymic abbreviation "LOL" and the word "cat". A synonym for "lolcat" is cat macro, since the images are a type of image macro. Lolcats are designed for photo sharing imageboards and other internet forums.
The term lolcat gained national media attention in the United States when it was covered by Time, which wrote that non-commercialized phenomena of the sort are increasingly rare, stating that lolcats have "a distinctly old-school, early 1990s, Usenet feel to [them]".

Rules-
The idea is simple. I will (at least make an attempt to) post a TV Show, a movie, a comedian, or something of another ilk each day. I will also provide a description ala wikipedia and a youtube link to a clip should one be available. All you need to do is simply vote whether you believe the item is funny or not.
The voting goes as follows:
Hilarious (adds two points)
Funny (adds one point)
Meh/Never seen it (adds and subtracts nothing)
Not funny (takes away one point)
Horrible (takes away two points)
One other thing I allow is the nomination of items from you, the wrestlecrappers. If you shoot me a PM of something you want nominated, I might put it up, provided it follows a few ground rules (more info below). I will say that spamming my inbox with the same nomination will pretty much ruin your chances, and so will being a jerk if your nomination isn't ran. I do not play favorites with nominations by item nor the users that submit them. I nominated several items by reader request that I absolutely despised the last time around and left off several things I would have put at the top of my own list. I save the PMs of most requests, only deleting them when I have fulfilled all of the requests within OR if it breaks one of the request rules. I like to revisit them if I am short on ideas. Just because something you request isn't nominated right away does not mean it will be left off completely.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Rules for requesting a nomination:
-Through PM ONLY
-Please keep it within the TOS
-Don't spam several requests or lots within one message. 3 requests per message max.
-Nothing Wrestlecrap related (in the interest of fairness)
-No "characters" from a movie or TV show
