Last Time: LOLcats>+7
LOLcats doesn't pull an impressive score out, but it does get the distinction of being the first meme to be voted in the positive area of the spectrum. Now today we nominate a recent hit cartoon that seems to be gathering a cult following among the crappers:
Phineas and Ferb (also known as Disney's Phineas and Ferb) is an American animated television series. Originally broadcast as a preview on August 17, 2007 on Disney Channel, the series follows two suburban stepbrothers on summer vacation. Each day the pair devise ambitious, involved plans and inventions to stave off boredom, often bringing them into conflict with their snoopy sister, Candace. The series follows a standard plot system; running gags occur every episode, and the B-Plot almost always features the boys' pet platypus, Perry, acting as a secret agent to fight an evil scientist named Heinz Doofenshmirtz. The two plots intersect at the end to erase all traces of the boys' project just before Candace can show it to their mother. Creators Dan Povenmire and Jeff "Swampy" Marsh worked together on the Nickelodeon series Rocko's Modern Life. Phineas and Ferb was conceived after Povenmire sketched a triangular boy — the blueprint for the eponymous Phineas — in a restaurant. Povenmire and Marsh developed the series concept together and pitched to networks for 16 years before securing a run on Disney Channel.
The series is also known for its musical numbers, which have appeared in every episode since the first-season "Flop Starz". Disney's managers particularly enjoyed the episode's song, "Gitchee, Gitchee Goo", and requested that a song appear in each subsequent episode. The show's creators write and record each number, and vary musical tempo depending on each song's dramatic use. The music has gotten the series two Emmy nods for songwriting in 2008.

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
