Brendan’s banner: The Winners

Yesterday we asked Crikey readers to name Brendan’s banner and the Crikey army responded magnificently. Yesterday afternoon and overnight we received a torrent of very witty suggestions — too many to recall here. So our banner taskforce put together a shortlist of notable entries:

  • “Honk for Cheesy-mite” — Buzz
  • “$99 for a full head of foils” — Francisca Hoffmann
  • “Will work for food” — Lachlan Ridge
  • “Windscreens $1” — Lachlan Ridge
  • “Need 2 x Grand Final tickets” — Rodney Spottiswood
  • “I just farted” — Ignaz Amrein

However, there were a few, for us, that stood out:

Aron Paul, “Honk if you remember me”:

Toni Leemen, “FREE HUGS”:

Andrew Jones, “Want Longer Sex Now” in the same typeface and colours as the billboard ads that consenting adults are no longer allowed to see!:

Ben Perez, “I’m Emo and I vote”:

Jane Shaw, “FREE ROBOT SEX”:

A special mention to Simon Perry (aka Pezz) and his batman entry:

But … there can only ever be one winner. And the winning entry (and the recipient of a signed copy of yesterday’s First Dog on the Moon cartoon) goes to the delicious Mr Pastry and his “Chicken Parma with $2 pokie tokens $10” banner:

    I didn’t contribute but I must say, every single one you have presented here are NOT funny.

    Is that the joke?

    I’d put it on failblog.org but even they would reject it, cos, you know…. they’re NOT funny
