And, just as there were many strong contenders for the prize money, you showed us a bumper crop of potential Monkey Prize winners. The absolute worst, though, has to be this nonsensical, hamfisted, off-topic entry from the seemingly sane user AlienResearchGrpHome. We can only gaze on in open-mouthed wonderment and assume he/she was aiming for the Monkey Prize. If so, congratulations! If not, uh...keep plugging away!

And this week's Monkey Prize for "Lousiest Sense of Timing" goes to mccon104, who turned in a passel of worthwhile entries, but missed the contest deadline and was thus out of consideration. His Monochrome Rubik's Cube might have been in contention, had it been turned in on time. But it wasn't, so it wasn't.

This is good work.

The cream of the monkey crop, Joe!

And the Monkey Prize for "Photoshopping Above and Beyond the Call of Good Sense" goes to mccon104, who painstakingly re-created the reflection of the dialogue onto the surface of the tea kettle - good work, except that the orientation is wrong. Say something in front of a tea kettle and watch the reflection - you'll see what we mean.

And the Screaming Monkey Prize finds a home at mesmashwoot's place, for his jag-tastic, wtf-tacular mashup of Richard Simmons and the Titanic. One good calamity deserves another, we suppose.

CONTEST 41

Jason Toon wrote:

And our Figurative Monkey Prize goes to everybody else who entered the contest, for doing solid work with our foggy premise. ("Figurative" means "we won't be sending you anything.")

CONTEST 42

Jason Toon wrote:

And we're going to keep the Monkey Prize for ourselves, for coming up with a contest premise so broad and easily executed that we had to look at hundreds of entries to come up with winners (you know how we feel about doing extra work).

And our Monkey Prize for "Funny Idea, Shaky Execution" goes to Zath for this bit of misspelled, jaggy hilarity:

Monkey Prize for Flagrant Flouting of Syllabic Convention: AFX search term: glutton For Sale 60 pack women's Maxi's $1.00 I live alone. I'm a man... But Shipping still only 5$ Not a bad gag, AFX, but jeez, twelve syllables in the first line alone? Besides, we've never sold feminine sanitary napkins (yet). And "glutton"? You do know which end those maxis are supposed to go into, right?

Monkey Prize hitokiri2040 - ????? This is why Allah, most wise and merciful, created the monkey prize. We're simply in awe. The toy Santa Claus. The blurred face. The terrible parody of our beloved I WANT ONE button. And "3 Sexes"? Much respect, hitokiri2040. You're working on a level most Monkey Prizers can only dream of.

Monkey Prize biggandyy - Trainwreck Get a load of Blingbot Boxpants here. Is he riding the locomotive? Did the train run into him and cause the derailment? Why is he cutting the phone? Who would love this creature enough to buy him fancy jewelry? So many questions - silence your chattering mind and just gaze in wonder at this bizarre meisterwerke.

I just tried to get son to register for the anthropology course with the monkeys, well it was really apes, baboons, chimps and gorillas It was hands down my favorite class in college, Hubby was taking it at his school the same semester, he loved it too.

Me too! I have a Neanderthal skull! (replica of course)

Bump

Monkey, monkey, monkey!

Irregardless of what the prize is, the worst entry in a contest shall always be known as the monkey prize. Not the "whatever crap we have laying arround to call the prize this week" prize. (that made less sense than i intended. oh well, suffer yea masses)

you know, I didn't realize until now that they actually were sending monkeys out to people... i thought it was a prize in reference to the idea that a monkey could've made the winning entry...

Monkey Prize Synth3t1c - "Sorry for the Qwuality" I, for one, am glad to see people actively racing toward the bottom of the barrel, diving as low as they possibly can in pursuit of the Monkey. Besides, it's a stress break for the judges: nobody ever questions the Monkey Prize winner. Click on the image for a larger version, if you dare.

Monkey Prize jtoc - Sumo Warehouse Blimp Beer With all the disgusting, inept, and nonsensical entries this week, the competition for this prize was pretty intense. jtoc pulls it out with this unappealing exercise in free association. Don't bother straining your eyes to see the details.

I'll betch cannut guess who won the next monkey...
