Here's a thread for stuff that is officially banned. I'll start it out.

Mastercard Commercial Parodies on the internet.

You know how they go

Item $Value
Item $Value
Item $Value
Punchline: Priceless.

Those commercials first came out in 1997. That was 10 years ago, and I'm sure the first parody was out 9 years ago. So, I believe that if you have made a mastercard commercial parody within the last five years, you are an unoriginal f*ck and you should just stop making jokes altogether. OFFICIALLY BANNED!


edit - motivational poster parodies still have about 1 more year of life in them.

I think motivational posters need to be banned. They've become too strongly linked with lolcats, and the caption is no longer witty. It's usually just rearranging an earlier caption for the photo, such as:

Original: I can has cheezburger?

New: CHEEZBURGER
I can has it?

The funny combinations of motivational posters have already been done now. There are none left to come up with. Time to stop them.

And as much as I love cats, I think lolcats are running unrestricted on the Internet and there needs to be some sort of limitation.

I think you're being too generous with the five year point. Those Mastercard parodies were annoying from the very beginning.

Look at this photo I created and posted on another forum a couple years ago:



Hilarious, right???



Another one that needs to be banned is the parody of the 'Got milk?' campain. It's ultra lame. Also, all Budweiser products.
