Oddworld Motivational Posters

[MeechMunchie]

This one is not very good, but I would love to hear more ideas.

[AlexFili]

Why not, here's my attempt

[MeechMunchie]

I mean the 'Internet meme' motovational posters rather than the 'Friendly business' motovational posters.

[Wings of Fire]

Like this?

[MeechMunchie]

The pictures not showing up, just this. V

[AlexFili]

Exactly like that, but make it more funny and less generic.

[MeechMunchie]

Here's another one:

As soon as I can find a picture, I'll have 'MEAT SAWS: The safety inspector's going to have a field day'

AlexFili,



And Scrabtrapman, double posting is considered spam. Please don't do it.

[mr.odd]

Ill give it a try.
Also nice one Carnix

[AlexFili]

Here's another;

[MeechMunchie]

Apparently Carnix and I weren't clear enough, AlexFili. Anyway, I've had a rush of inspiration. Please ignore the misspelling of 'popular'.

[Carnix]

Apparently Carnix and I weren't clear enough, AlexFili.

Yeah, AlexFili, I actually meant you were doing it wrong...

[AlexFili]

Right, like you can decide what is and is not an "internet meme". Fine, if you do not wish me to post to this topic, I will stop now . Your loss, not mine.

[MA]

well said AlexFili.

to be honest with you i have no idea what Carnix and MeechMunchie expect people to post here. a poster is a poster.

poor show, fella's.

[MeechMunchie]

We didn't decide what was a meme or not. I am happy for you to post in this thread, just make sure you understand what it's about. Type 'motovational posters' or 'demotovational posters' into a search engine, and you will see that all of them follow what has already been determined to be the best template. They have a picture, a title, and a witty-ish comment beneath. I have no objection to spoofs of motovational posters which are actually motovational, but they are not what this thread is 'getting at'. (BTW, I may later post a poster which is a spoof of the 'Hang in there, baby!' cat poster everybody knows and loves, but featuring a pants-less slig hanging from a tree.)

[AlexFili]

I guess the main problem is I just don't "get it". Is it meant to be a parody of things like "America needs you" and "Be the best", or is this just a random collection of phrases and semi-witty comments? I just can't decide.

[Wings of Fire]

If done well the both, if done badly the latter.

[MeechMunchie]

I guess the main problem is I just don't "get it". Is it meant to be a parody of things like "America needs you" and "Be the best", or is this just a random collection of phrases and semi-witty comments?

Initially they were the former, but they have now developed into a popular way of showing your humourous comments on either a subject or picture.

EDIT: Oh, and sorry for snapping at ya earlier, AF. I should have been clearer the first time. And your pics are good, even if they aren't exactly what I meant.

[Splat]

When did this stop becoming funny?

Lets not turn this into a flame war guys. MeechMunchie, you should have made a better attempt to define a 'motivational poster' at the start but never mind. This funny! Keep it up!
I especially loved 'licking car batteries' and I wish for the bird portal one you'd put 'Public transport for people who lick car batteries' to forward the joke.

Man, I wish I'd seen this earlier. I have to start spending more time in FC!

[AlexFili]

I'd just like to say that I think we both misunderstood each other, which resulted in differences of opinion. What makes one person laugh doesn't always work for everyone.

When I have some more time I'll try and come up with a witty slogan. No bad feelings towards anyone in this topic. I think the fact that we are all Oddworld fans is proof enough that we are not so different from each other. Let there be peace

I put my Custom Motivational Posters there,but they not showed up. Not my fault.

[Phylum]

My friend said this to me while we were walking home from school. I'm constantly around weirdos :P

[Slog Bait]

I've always heard it said it's suprise sex you didn't know you wanted.

These are pretty funny, guys.

Here's my version
