What was the funniest thread ever on DU?

[Jamastiene]

For me it had to be the "Call Congress Right Fucking Now" thread.

A close second is the "I'm bullish on Kudzu. It's going places" thread

The hilarity that ensued in both threads was epic.

So, what are your most favorite funny threads on DU?

[Phillycat]

1. "Oscar" and "I am the Lord Jesus Christ, ask me anything".

The 2nd one was just awesome - it wasn't sacreligious at all. I never understood why the mods banned him. :shrug:

[underpants]

8. Oscar was the funniest due to A-Schwartz's writing

He just kept cranking out answers to more and more hilarious questions and comments.

I have to say that there are two that I started that were really funny but the "Passion" one was just a release of tension and the second one literally was like letting go of the thing on a balloon and suddenly you are running around trying to get a hold on it. I post these not for my ego (seriously) but to honor all the posters who contributed.

[Maraya1969]

18. I call that whoever states the thread must provides the link so people

like me who are OBVIOUSLY deficient in a deficient type way can read the fucking things rather than spend hours in that "search", (I don't think so?????) room all by theirselves.

[Jamastiene]

39. I couldn't find them.

It wasn't for a lack of trying. I thought I had bookmarked them, but can't find them there either. Sorry.

[XemaSab]

42. If it was the "find" room it would be called that.

:P

[FloridaJudy]

21. The "generic" post thread

Earlier this year. I wish I'd book-marked it. It started out with something like "pompous assertion not backed up by evidence" and went on from there for well over 100 posts. If someone has bookmarked it, kindly send me the link.

It was the funniest damn thing I've seen in a long time.

[krispos42]

32. "Stridently held opinion based on questionable pseudo-science but I'm right."

75. Anything with Cheney

Especially but not limited to, Cheney telling people to fuck off, Cheney shooting friends, Cheney looking like a lizard, Cheney having heart "problems" and Cheney's fashion. You get the drift. Who knew pure evil was so amusing? (of course I'm still actively considering that he is not human-cue Swamp rat)
