In the interest of a little R&R for the hard-working imaginary characters of the large and small screens, this past Friday we asked you to Send a character or characters from a movie or TV show on vacation to another movie or TV show. The "vacation" aspect was muted in many of these movie mashups, but a stellar crop of on-message entries made contest 81 one of the better in this endless series. You people love the movie posters - or do we? For whatever reason, most of our winners are poster parodies. The full results of our recreational challenge are immediately below:
First prize - $100
Intaglio - Ernest Goes To Narnia
I wish I knew enough about Narnia to make a really incisive joke here.
Second prize - $50
taipan - Weekend at Chewie's
The favorite for most of the race, just barely pipped at the finish line.
Third prize - $20
digitalecho - National Lampoon's Evil Vacation
This entry is approximately 1,748 times funnier than anything Chevy Chase has done since about 1988.
Honorable Mention
wonderstew - Superman Returns to the Caribbean: Big Man-Chest
The tourist infrastructure was pretty undeveloped in the 1600s, but at least the rum was strong.
plinth - Benny Hill at Fawlty Towers
plinth cleverly takes advantage of the fact that every BBC show of the '70s and '80s used the same film stock and lighting scheme.
CSchmitz - The Dune of Hazzard
Nothing much we can say about this one except "Heh."
faithcoaching - Shrek's on the Beach
Just keep an eye on the clock, kids - it's all fun and games until some sponge dries up and dies.
kilray - Top Gunning the Shark
Two iconic leather jackets meet at last.
jr0dy - The Passion of the Jesus
Some vacation-related content would've really helped this one (and jr0dy's contorted attempt at a backstory doesn't count).
LKK - Dinosaur vs. Bambi
Can't we have one picnic that doesn't end in multiple maulings?
Champions' Championship Monkey
Our panel of previous winners mostly agreed with our choices for money winners and HMs, but more than one of them mentioned this well-done, funny, off-topic entry as a possible Monkey Prize candidate. So this week we'll combine our two auxiliary awards and award it/them to Schmij for Saving Ryan Stiles :
See, we told you this contest was pretty good. As usual, the wooters who created the money-winning entries are invited to email their Paypal info to jtoon@woot.com . The Monkey winner should send his/her mailing address to the same, and Honorable Mentioneers may use coupon code HONMEN-FS for free shipping on a future order. Until next time, have fun storming the campground!
