Stuff you found on the Excelsior thread(s) that you found actually funny.

funny in context:
"Nick, how do I turn this water into wine?"
-- MarkH

"It's in the bible."
-- Alfie

Surely by definition everything on the Excelsior threads was found funny by someone?

Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 09:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, and this one for when someone agrees. Who knows. It may run. It may walk. It may crawl down the page and never seen again.

mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 09:53 (twenty-one years ago)

this is a daft idea

stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 09:58 (twenty-one years ago)

besides, that mark/alfie thing isn't even funny unless you read the other posts from the thread it's on. oh well.

stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 7 January 2004 09:59 (twenty-one years ago)

... the thread that died of frowning...

and this thread runs the risk of RECURSIVE OVERFLOW, if someone posts something really funny here it's gonna go on the excelsior thread and then if it's REALLY funny it'll go back to here! And then back to excelsior.

and this thread runs the risk of RECURSIVE OVERFLOW, if someone posts something really funny here

of course the risk is not high.

Not necessarily. Case in point, your post. ;-)

nathalie, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 15:58 (seventeen years ago)

the funniest one ever was when some maybe pitchfork dude was complaining about Chuck D's entry to a musician cookbook with a creole jerked chicken recipe.

then some britishes dude replied right after with "TOO BLACK! TOO STRONG!"

sanskrit, Tuesday, 31 July 2007 16:17 (seventeen years ago)

this was a great idea for a thread.

I think that ^ was the first Excelsiorization that made me understand what the Excelsior thread was for.

This thread was such a success I think we're going to need to start EXCELSIOR PLATINUM

What we really need is an excelsior aggregator. Then we can find the funniest post ever: a post so funny that even to read it is to die laughing.

moley, Wednesday, 1 August 2007 08:25 (seventeen years ago)

That Chuck D thing is the funniest post ever, to be fair

William Henry Harrison may have something to say about that.

Mark C, Wednesday, 1 August 2007 13:43 (seventeen years ago)

Yeah, the William Henry Harrison thing definitely wins.

Dave Q's Springsteen bit is up there too.

There is nothing worse then people debating what is funny and what isn't.

i love that the initial post in excelsior gold isn't funny. it's some meta-ironic shit, right?

That one guy that hit it and quit it, Wednesday, 1 August 2007 15:42 (seventeen years ago)

Ronan's "don't try it" thing still my all time fave lol maybe - or the 'what have you ever done of note with scissors' response by same.

or the Pirosmani paintings as thread titles stuff, or the initial DJ Martian parodies.

but that's all ILX meta stuff, only really funny to those up on the context. i'm not sure what my favourite non-meta funny post is.

fifteen years pass...

Good Stallone films probably outweight the bad ones though. I always wish he had stuck to character acting because he's excellent in "Rocky" and "Copland".

Damn, I meant to say bad Stallone films outweigh the good. Largely.

See, for a moment CRW drops the 'persona' and screws it, and actually made me laugh 19 years later.

Hang on, 19 years?
