Friday Caption Fun, Round 109
September 10, 2010 86 Comments
With Halo: Reach a mere four days away, it’s probably about time to send Halo 3 off in style. This is in no way a goodbye, mind you, but simply an until-we-meet-again sort of thing. Bungie is graciously offering up Maption Sack as their weekend double experience festivities, which, if you have a penchant for crazy, community-created maps, should be right up your alley. Otherwise, a marathon session in your favorite playlist should suffice. Up first though is our customary captioning. Let’s recap the wittiest of last week’s responses, and then we’ll tackle a brand new screenshot!
- “Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!” (VYPER117)
- “To hunt the cone, you must become the cone.” (akanealw)
- “Tonight’s “Xbox Live Game With Fame” goes retro with the folks from Devo!” (Anton P. Nym)
- “Have you ever wondered why we are here?…” (retinence)
- “In’cone’nito” (SIR COFFEE)
- “Bungie were struggling to top the flaming heads of Halo 3 but then suddenly it hit them… in the face… hard…” (Crazy A 64)
- “Shhhh! Be vewy quiet! We’we hunting twaffic cones!” (Iago 462)
- “Halo: Conebat Evolved” (cardo8)
- “Greatest disguise ever, Red will never spot me!” “Greatest disguise ever, Blue will never spot me!” (Bud the Chud)
While those disguises definitely need some work, I think it’s safe to say the costume in the following screenshot is also less than optimal. Check out what I mean and then tell me what’s going on, preferably in the form of a witty caption please. Oh, and if you could do it before Tuesday, that would be awesome. I heard through the grapevine it will be rather busy that particular day…

Oh sure, It’s quite impressive he got in there… but wait ’till he comes out… It’ll be a blast!
thumbs-up for groan inducing
Either:
“Another reason why no one likes dinos… there’s just no winning that battle”
or
“He’s taken Grunt Birthday Party to a WHOLE new level”
“For HMB; Send me out with a bang!”
You beat me to it. XD
I’ll just +1. haha
Blue doesn’t quite get the idea of modern art.
“Early versions of Forge phased physics had a deadly side effect.”
“This dino thought he was playing Prophunt in Team Fortress 2. He’ll find out he’s wrong in a very explosive way…”
When exactly did everyone start calling Elite’s “Dino’s”? I didn’t hear it until I got on the reach beta but i have to say, I really just don’t like it at all.
People have been doing it for awhile, probably since H3 came out.
I think its kinda silly, but to each their own. :)
“Mom always said put your toys away when you’re done playing with them.”
“Dude, first you get you’re dick stuck in the warthog’s exhaust and now this? you need some help man, serious help!” blue said.
“but i love the feel of metal!” Red replied.
“Freak”
Moments in Halo evolutionary history: moments before dinos started to fly.
Red has learned the first lesson of not being seen: not to stand up. However, he has chosen a very obvious piece of cover…
LOL nice Monty Python reference. Needs moar thumbs up.
I quite agree. *thumbs up again*
I didn’t think it was going to work too well, but now I realize that fusion coils explode. Completely slipped my mind at the time, but I’m not gonna complain
Aim… very… carefully
Elite: “Go on, punch me – I DARE you!”
Blue, if you make a “thinking outside the box” joke, I swear I’m gonna kick your ass.
That’s right, stay in your cage!
I think Bungie went a little too far with the armor perms this time around.
It rubs the lotion on it’s skin or else it gets the hose again!
Blue tried desperately to tell the elite his contortionist act wasn’t quite ready to go on the road.
I guess the blue’s there to “defuse” the elite
YYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Halo Reach will BLOW your mind…like this.
Guarding the Cage of Shame might not be glorious, but somebody’s gotta do it.
With a matter of hours left, Blue Spartan sighed with relief as he got ready to ship the last packed-up Elite to Halo Reach.
“Look, it doesn’t matter how it happened, quit asking questions and just get me out of here”
You should never mess with the fusion coil cos you never know when they will strike.
The Elite’s contortionist career was off to an explosive start.
Eff nevermind, someone already made a contortion comment.
I thought it was funnny :)
Overkill…no such thing.
Red: HELPPP!!! I can’t figure out how to flush this damn toilet!!
Blue: How did you get in there in the first place?
S***, my back itches.
This was a carefully crafted scenario, not by Blue, not by Red, but by the grenade in the middle that suddenly became self-aware.
I wonder if this’ll get through customs?
*Superintendant chime* Thank you for using Mombasa Recycling. Keep it clean!

“All I’m saying is, you’d better flush when you’re done.”
When Bungie mentioned the exclusive elite armour permutations included with reach, Halo 3′s red elite got a little jealous, and went a little too far trying to fit in.
damn, Pokemon gets more complicated every year.
First of all, I AM SO RELIEVED TO SEE ANOTHER ARTICLE ON YOUR BLOG!!!!
I was going into withdrawal, lol! O_O
“Dare you to shoot me! =P Plllltttt”
“I see the UNSC is testing out its new Elite-fueled fusion cores.”
Blue asks, “So, what’s it like working for 343?”
Red answers, “…. um, I… uh……. it’s a bit more structured…”
While the spartans may have used the bubble shield to protect themselves from enemy fire, Elites truly mastered a defensive device that prevented enemy melee attacks.
Unfortunantly, bullets still worked…
Red: “Not exactly the kind of ‘cage match’ I was looking for”
Blue: “And that’s my fault… how?”
Halo 3 isn’t for everyone . If you experience: itching, Claustrophobia, sense of loss of self, becoming one with the collective, and thoughts of xenophobal genocide; talk to your doctor as this could be the result of a serious birth defect and/or your mother.
The safety word is ‘banana’.
;)
Red: “How long have we been at war, and you STILL haven’t made Elite-size cages?”
“How did you-”
“Shut up and get me a crowbar”
Hey look Jack In The Box finally decided to get into the halo business
After killing the Elite, Blue tried to find an inconspicious place to dispose of the body.
He’s not having much luck so far.
Blue: Okay, now those are some really messed up hit-… boxes….
Ha! I knew elites’ heads weren’t in it!
IT’S A TRAP!
dude even the games is telling you that you suck
I will grant you three wishes if you let me out of here.
The Covenant do not spend alot of money on their Drop Pods!
After reading bs angel’s future changing announcement, the covenant wanted the spartans to kill them.
Sanghel-kabob
There! All packed up and ready to be sent out through UPS for my Grandma’s Birthday.
“This is Blue-2, target located. Coil’s taken another hostage, over.”
Elite- “Man when i was T-baggin you I thought you were dead… I didn’t know you were just sleepin. You didn’t need to stuff me in this barrel”
Blarg chicka honk honk that is kinky
Spartans were pretty much the only ones who could capture an Elite. This was an area where their creativity was especially helpful.
In case of dumb-assery, teabag face, and throw grenade.
Suicide bombing gone wrong.
Red’s PAX costume left a little to be desired, but it started quite a few fires.
*light a few
Spy check!
Let’s see you try to veto Narrows now, punk!
its one of the co-op robots for Portal 2. or am i the only one who sees that?
Moments inside Bungie:
the real reason the fusion coil doesn’t have “phased” physics option
Fusion Coils: Venus Flytraps of the halo world
When Blue shouted “assume the position” to his Red prisoner, he was left wondering what kind of sordid, kinky past the alien had.
Bit of a mix-up at the fusion coil factory, huh?
Bungie’s attempt to make the Elite’s more “Action Packed” was different than what most people had in mind.
Soldier in blue: “He fell into the wall? Inconceivable!”
Teammate off-screen: “You keep using that word… I do not think it means what you think it means…”
He He shoot me now and see what happens….
now dance go-go girl, dance! *evil cackle*
“NO! I’m not coming out until BS Angel decides to stay!”
Yes, red had finally FUSED with a COIL
thumbs up for terrible puns, anyone? anyone?
Nobody really wanted to play “High-Stakes Twister” with Jason.
I blame Stosh.
Upon reflection, the Elite realised that his Weighted Companion Cube cosplay outfit probably wasn’t the best thing to wear during combat.
