Welcome to the Hooniverse Classic Captions Post. This is a series of posts that are set to run this time each week, so let’s review the premise; I search for images that were used by the car companies in their print advertising or brochures, and it is your job to provide a humorous, snarky, or thought provoking caption that is some how tied in with the image. This week, I found an image highlighting one of the best selling cars in Britain, so good luck!
Last week, we had an image of Movie and Television Star Donna Reed, and none of you even remembered who she was. However, it didn’t stop you from responding, so let’s take a look at the top comment. It was from our pal onrails, and his meandering dissertation went like this: Bob turned the corner, relieved at finally getting back to his Scout after a 3 day hike. But wait…who were these people? Why were they using his Scout? He hid behind some nearby bushes and fought with his overly polite Canadian sensibilities. Should he confront them and ask them to kindly pack up? Should he just wait until they finished? Surely it couldn’t take that long.
And then it happened… the little girl in the driver’s seat was being handed a plateful dripping, sticky watermelon. Bob’s OCD overcame his politeness and hatred of confrontation. He had to think fast. The solution was a simple one, though it required full commitment on his part. He took a deep breath, swallowed hard, and executed his quickly formed plan – the last thing the family saw before they passed out in a combination of fear and confusion was a screaming naked man heading heading toward them at full speed yelling “MY PRECIOUS! MY PRECIOUS! DON’T EAT FOOD IN MY PRECIOUS!”
He also included the Homer Simpson image shown on the right, stating: I’ll see myself out… It was very funny, so congratulations onrails! It’s also time for you to open an Intense Debate Account so the Hoons can follow your comments here and elsewhere!
It’s now time to take a look at this weeks image. This was an Advertising Image for the Ford Cortina GT Mk II featuring a cheeky couple in a checked print, no doubt simulating the checkered flag found at the finish of some racing or rallying venue. So, what is it suppose to represent? Is the Contina GT really that sporty? Are you sure to finish if you buy one? Is it just the Mod 60s British Pop Influence? Only you can come up with the answer to these questions, so let’s see what you come up with for this very groovy picture. (You can click here to see the full size image)
You have the next five days to come up with a great caption. The editors will deliberate entries, and after contemplating our own caption, we will pronounce a winner. So, get to work and create you’re own caption for this interesting image
