Welcome to the Hooniverse Classic Captions Post. This is a series of posts that are set to run this time every Tuesday, 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. It has finally warmed up enough on the East Coast to start thinking about Summer…
Last week, we had an image of a bunch of Scuba Enthusiasts on the beach, and the comments were interesting and thought provoking. Longtime fan, Alff (Yes, again…), threw out this incredible caption: “… and remember, stay out of my new car. I don’t need the interior covered in seamen.” Very funny, but no prize winner this time…
The winner this week was from smalleyxb122 (Yes, again!), who penned this caption to go along with the attached image: “Damned autocorrect. Driver’s car! A real Driver’s car!” This was very clever, so congratulations once again smalleyxb122!
It’s now time to take a look at this weeks illustration. This is an advertising image for the 1967 Jeepster, featuring a bevy of beautiful girls (and a dog, but I’m not sure if it’s a bitch or not…) It is a typical mid 60s beach image, so here is your assignment this time… What the hell are all these people saying to each other? I’m sure you can come up with something very amusing. (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 watching re-runs of Gidget (Remember Sally Field?), we will pronounce a winner. So, get to work and create you’re own caption for this Beach Blanket Bingo.
