(I'm not pointing this out to be critical. Instead, I'm trying to draw attention to the Princess Bride quotations I modified in the fourth post. I'm quite proud of those. I need more attention. )

Yeah but... replace any noun with any other and you can get some funny sounding sentences. You could, like, do this whole book of paragraphs with blanks in them and then have people fill in random words that are the right part of speech and then... oh wait....

It's the same as the ol' Forune cookie "In a bed" trick.

Icky, the Princess Bride ones are hilarious.

I laughed. Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :
I do this with booger. I don't think it's as funny as pants though.

Should this be done for enders game ? Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :
The enemy's pants are down?

"You've been in charge of our pants for months now."
Bean to Ender: "I want a pants."
Valentine to Ender: "Still paddling the old pants."
Yeah, I still don't get it.

I used to do this with 'monkey' and movie titles on long car trips in order to drive my sister insane.

Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
Come on it's not the result it's the act of substitution in a fitting situation that's funny. I mean "The enemy's pants are down" is so perfect. It is distinctive (you can tell what it is supposed to be) but yet works also with 'pants'.
It's not the product, it's the act.

You seem to...
I think the best thing is "between the sheets" at the end of every sentence. My friends and I used to do that in boring assemblies. We got kicked out for laughing uproariously at a Red Ribbon Week assembly.

Posted by OlavMah (Member # 756) on :
Yeah, but adding "in bed" or "between the sheets" is funny because we have more metaphors for sex than actual words. Substituting nouns can be funny, but heck, putting "poodle" or "mustache" in would be funny too... in an obvious kind of way.

I think i have one " Your Pants are dragon"
Posted by PSI Teleport (Member # 5545) on :
"Where does dragon milk come from?"
"Short legged-cows."

Yes I posted this joke a while ago. But I have since discovered that doing it to the lyrics of christmas songs can be hilariously funny too.
In particular... the lyrics to Joy the World... good heavens that song was just made for this... I give you "Joy to the Pants"
Joy to the pants! The Lord is come. Let earth receive her King Let every heart Prepare Him room And Saints and angels sing And Saints and angels sing And Saints and Saints and angels sing
All I had to do is change one word, and it completely changes the meaning of the verse!! I love it!

Is this a Mormon version of the song?
Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
Yep. No pagan lyrics for us!!
Except for All Creatures of Our God and King, of course.

I would've gone with "Let every heart prepare Him pants."
Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :
Its one I found with an online search. Doesn't really matter, it works really well with just about all versions Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
That version of Joy to the World annoys me no end.
And I'm not talking about the pants.
Posted by Alcon (Member # 6645) on :
Joy to the pants, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room, And heaven and nature sing, And heaven and nature sing, And heaven, and heaven, and nature sing.
That better?
Posted by Teshi (Member # 5024) on :
"saints", especially on the last lines, sounds a little odd!
In my head it goes, "Say-yaints and say-aints and angels sing"
Very cockney .
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Yes. That was better. Thank you.

Did you know that almost any Emily Dickenson poem can be sung to the tune of "The Yellow Rose of Texas"?

Posted by Verily the Younger (Member # 6705) on :
How about "Let every pants prepare Him room"?
*flees to avoid the angry Christians*
Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :
And Amazing Grace can be sung to the theme to Gilligan's Island.

How about "Jingle pants, jingle pants, jingle all the way"? (And if you want to combine it with another famous thread, how about 'Dingle pants, dingle pants?)
