I'm starting to understand Uber. Some people will give you a -2 even if it is really good.
This was really good.

Another thing I don't understand about uber, is how the same people that berate this place, Bart, and boredatwork.com bust all kinds of nuts when their own work makes B@W.
Or perhaps that claim is inaccurate and you're all starting to look the same to me.

Now, I thought the premise of motivational poster comedy was as follows:
In the originals, the top, larger part of the text would be a single word or short phrase that stood alone and evoked it's own meaning or sensation. The second, explanatory sentence would extend that original meaning and (in the originals) give some sort of motivational message.
For example, one of the originals would look like:
Initiative
A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds
For that reason, a humourous revision of the genre should take that formula and subvert it, so that you can make a joke in one of two ways, either;
1. Have an word in the top line with positive connotations but make the descriptive sentence subversive, eg:
Heroes
Because us cowards need someone to absorb enemy fire.
2. Less impressive, have the top line negative with the bottom line an explanatory sentence. The result of this is that it is a total subversion of the inspirational poster. For example:
Laziness
If i haven't seen as far as others, it is because there were giants standing on my shoulders.
----
Now, the way most people are approaching these posters completely does away with that format. Someone just finds a photo and writes a caption that is split into two lines. It's not that caption humour can't be funny, it's that it makes the "Motivational Poster" format unnecessary, distracting and actually detracts from the funniness.
And this was a shit effort anyway

Not one of these made me laugh, sometimes uber makes no sense to me.
Kind of like how I'll never understand why Jay Leno has ratings, of any kind, really.

made me laugh...
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that the "Seriously - What the Fuck?" picture is some kind of Robert Jordan-ian marrige ceremony. Maybe something from the Ogier?
Just a guess...

I really wish people would stop stealing despair.com's demotivator format. It was funny when they did it, now it's just another used-up cliche.

Laughed at all of them.
Favourites:
1. The kid's drawing of a stripper
2. The flexible woman, for doing what no human should be able to do.
3. The hairy man for looking like a werewolf.
4. The unemployed storm trooper.
5. The two girls in superhero costumes because the one dressed as Superman looks like a girl I know.

I saw one that cracked me up. There was a fat bitch showing off her steelers shirt and the caption said: A Wild Snorlax Has Appeared. The Ultra Balls. Use them.
