00:00

[twinkly music]

00:02

Hi, I’m Danny Devito, I’m doing the New Yorker

00:05

cartoon caption contest.

00:08

Okay, this guy looks like a Charles Dickens’ version

00:12

of Saint Peter and this guy down here making his way

00:17

into the, doesn’t look exactly

00:20

like very inviting Pearly Gates.

00:26

Okay, I know you’re trying to keep people out,

00:29

but if you find my hat let me know.

00:32

[excited drumbeats]

00:36

This is why they do this and I don’t.

00:38

Okay, go ahead.

00:39

What’s next?

00:41

All right so we’re looking at a coffin,

00:43

and two people are discussing a dead person.

00:47

And there’s like this sickle thing coming out.

00:50

[mellow jazz music]

00:54

It says the old fart did enough damage,

00:56

finally he’s dead.

00:58

Let’s go celebrate. [chuckles]

01:01

There ya go.

01:02

Anyway, he’s dead.

01:04

Shut the coffin and let’s go home.

01:06

[excited drumbeats]

01:11

Why am I so afraid of getting a paper cut here?

01:14

[Woman] Because it hurts!

01:15

It really does hurt.

01:16

Have you had any lately?

01:17

No. No, okay good.

01:19

Okay I’m looking at two people in bed,

01:22

and they’ve got some kind of helmets on.

01:24

Okay, can I be dirty?

01:26

Yeah.

01:28

[mellow jazz music]

01:33

I want to add one for it in the front.

01:35

Okay.

01:37

Baby, Chernobyl really has fucked over our sex life.

01:43

It’s like hard to do because you can’t see it

01:46

but the protective suits go all the way down

01:48

to the genitalia.

01:49

[excited drumbeats]

01:53

Now, what am I seeing?

01:55

These guys are standing in front of these shapes

01:57

that could be construed as a couple things.

02:02

I mean, they look like urinals, right?

02:05

I chose something else.

02:08

And this guy looks like he might in the superhero

02:12

business and who the hell knows about the other guy.

02:16

But anyway, it says I piss on gravestones all the time,

02:21

but I’m a superhero, what’s your excuse?

02:25

[excited drumbeats]

02:29

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

02:31

She attacked me

02:32

with the paper. That was close.

02:33

I swear to God.

02:33

So I’m looking at a guy in a white coat

02:36

and a guy in a rat suit making notations,

02:41

looking at a bunch of rats in a cage.

02:47

Okay.

02:49

The blenders are broken.

02:50

What do we do with the excess rodents?

02:53

Sandwiches?

02:55

[excited drumbeats]

02:57

A nice rodent smoothie is really good, you know?

03:03

With a little roach sauce thrown on the top.

03:06

Me, I have to be from New York to understand this one.

03:09

Okay.

03:10

Oh, this is a good one.

03:12

Oh my god.

03:13

Okay, so I’m looking at four parrots

03:17

at a table, one of ’em is talking.

03:20

This guy looks really worried.

03:21

[mellow jazz music]

03:29

I got more.

03:31

[woman laughs]

03:34

I ran out of paper, but I remember what I said.

03:36

You guilty on of a bitch.

03:39

We’re gonna rip your head off and put it on the wall

03:43

with the other traitor parrots.

03:45

Asshole traitor parrots.

03:47

These are all traitor parrots and that’s what they do.

03:51

They’re not really pictures, they’re their heads.

03:53

Actual heads on the wall.

03:56

Bastards.

03:58

[excited drumbeats]

04:03

Holy Toledo.

04:06

We’ve got a rooster and a duck.

04:10

[mellow jazz music]

04:15

Okay.

04:16

I’m sorry.

04:18

Everybody knows it’s a dysfunctional family.

04:23

Let’s fuck our feathers off before mom and dad gets home.

04:27

[woman laughs]

04:30

Let’s go.

04:31

Let’s do it right now.

04:32

[excited drumbeats]

04:37

It’s a jail, obviously.

04:40

There’s two guys and it looks like a girl in the middle.

04:45

There’s a guy with his hand in his pocket,

04:47

looks like the CEO of the prison.

04:52

Okay.

04:53

[mellow jazz music]

05:00

It’s ain’t goin’ down.

05:04

Okay, this is like a boring one, I’m sorry, it’s me,

05:08

it’s not the picture, the picture is great.

05:10

Productivity is in the shitter.

05:12

One by one you’re doing down.

05:14

Alright.

05:17

That’s not a good one.

05:17

Okay, let’s move on.

05:18

[excited drumbeats]

05:25

Well, we’re in bed with a looks like a guy with antlers.

05:31

And a lot of hair.

05:34

And he’s reading, some newspaper, I can’t read it.

05:39

Does it have words on it?

05:41

No. No.

05:42

Okay.

05:44

All right.

05:45

[mellow jazz music]

05:49

Okay, it says here that there are side effects

05:53

and if the hair stays the boner stays.

05:55

[people laugh]

05:58

I actually didn’t see his other foot.

06:01

Okay.

06:01

[people laugh]

06:02

[repeated drumbeats]

06:05

Oh that is, that is good.

06:08

Again, once again we’re up in a beautiful high rise

06:11

somewhere in Manhattan with the one percent.

06:14

This guy’s really huffy.

06:17

Look at the, like a whole boardroom full of people,

06:20

but they’re not bored obviously,

06:21

they’re having a good time.

06:24

[mellow jazz music]

06:26

[laughs]

06:29

Okay, if I can read my writing.

06:33

Okay.

06:34

Me and Harry are snapping up Mildred and Florence

06:38

so I guess it’s you, Joe and Pete again.

06:43

You see, that’s Mildred and Florence,

06:45

and that’s Harry.

06:47

And then so, it’s him and Joe and Pete don’t have mates

06:53

so they have to do it.

06:55

And by the way, there’s acid in the punch.

06:57

[excited drumbeats]

07:01

Hi, I’m Danny Devito,

07:03

and this was a cartoon caption contest,

07:05

where there are no winners, only shitty jokes.

07:09

[people laugh]
