UPDATE

I am alive, but that was genuinely in doubt for a bit

Don't like to give out too much personal information because doxxing is a thing and some people on this site be crazy but just to explain things uh I live in the Tampa Bay Area and had to evacuate my house due to Hurricane Milton, so as you can imagine the last 10 days have been chaotic for me, and of course thats when this blog really started to take off.

Just to clarify I'm not homeless or anything, our area got horrendous flooding but it stopped short of my house by like a toe (although some neighbors were sadly not as fortunate and our cars fucked so yay)

The main problem is some power lines ended up underwater so as a precaution to prevent people from getting zapped all power and water to our area was cut off until further notice, so we were evacuated the day after the storm (I would like to express my gratitude to the emergency workers who evacuated us, they were very kind and understanding and helped us and others in our neighborhood as much as they could, provided free transportation to a shelter and everything)

I also had a job opportunity I was pursuing before and after this thing so that just added on to everything else (probably got the job luckily)

All this to say I just got back in my house like two days ago and have spent most of the time since then cleaning inside the house and helping clean up the neighborhood and supporting my family as they had nervous breakdowns AND getting a job, and I come back to find my blog kind of exploded a bit (thanks @tournament-announcer for the shoutout), so I'll go through everything when I have time. if you still have a submission feel free to send it in though

Uhh anyways I appreciate all of your continued support and hope to get things back up and running here soon, thank you all!

Ima be real with y'all my weeks been a bit shit, lost power for a day, looked after my mom cuz she got sick, got sick myself, want to continue this blog but got like 10 submissions total so far which seems like a small field for all movies ever and am at a loss on how to get more engagement

where is film Tumblr, where are the autists (affectionate), where are the people to celebrate the beauty of humor in cinema, from physical comedy in the silent era all the way to modern meta stuff (the good meta stuff not the slop), from the sophisticated jokes and biting satires to Biggus Dickus, go nuts this is a field of art that has been going strong for over a century really please idk what else to

Seriously I thought the Goncharov site would be salivating over this, and to the followers who are here already I cherish you dearly its just I want this to be more broad and entertaining for all of us, I want people to find out about movies they never knew existed, I want people debating in the comments and (JOKINGLY) threatening to commit arson if their choice doesn't win, I want people to have a lot of fun and get some really interesting stuff in here, but I just

idk im tired im going to bed

We're at like seven submissions total so far, reblog or ask people to give more submissions, please don't be shy Ive accepted all of them so far, I don't want to add my own to avoid bias (I will likely be biased but ill be damned if I start this early), uhhhh idk its 2 in the morning and I haven't slept, wanna hear a joke?

Well I don't got one why do you think im running a joke tournament blog you think I have a sense of humor

Balls

There you go, if it was good enough for the Romans its good enough for this hellsite

[funniestjokesinfilmtournament]

If you haven't submitted a pick because you think it hasn't been done go nuts, I've only got two Monty Python submissions and none from other famous comedy movies

Hell I only have one submission from ANY movie released after 2000, and none before 1970

And don't worry about following the directions in the pinned to the letter, I will be lenient as long as you name the movie and joke you are talking about

[funniestjokesinfilmtournament]

Only got a chance to check submissions now, that's some more on the board

I am surprised it took this long for someone to submit Monty Python lol

[funniestjokesinfilmtournament]

Alrighty so this took off in the last few hours

Uh thanks for the reblogs likes and follows everybody

We are currently at three submissions, all of which have been accepted so far. I also realized I had anonymous asks off for some reason so enabled that cuz I know some of you are shy. Go nuts!

WELCOME TO THE FUNNIEST JOKES IN FILM TOURNAMENT!

Decided to make a tournament poll blog because everyone seems to be doing it uh I hope I'm doing this right

Basically what it says on the tin, let us, the great minds of Tumblr, decide once and for all the objectively greatest joke ever put into the art form of cinema. I am sure our decision will be universally agreed upon with no controversy whatsoever.

I am your host, S! (He/Him, don't mind They/Them either though) I will be your referee throughout this tournament as we encounter twists and turns, upsets, and close finishes galore!

(I hope at least, that's good for engagement)

THE RULES

Submit a film joke in the ask box

Include the films name, year of release, and a thorough explanation of the joke itself and why it is hysterical. A quip, some physical comedy, a running gag, anything goes as long as it's funny! If said joke involves significant spoilers it should be prefaced with a warning. Also while films in any language can be submitted do please write the submission itself in English. Also also please attach images or gifs if possible relating to the joke, it will save me a lot of time later. While I will be somewhat lenient, I reserve the right to delete any submission that does not meet the above requirements.

Tell your friends if they'd be interested so we can get a good number of votes!

Vote for each one you think is the funniest!

BANNED FILMS

Anything released after December 31st, 2019: to avoid recency bias

All the Potterverse films: because JK Rowling is a scumbag and trans rights

Films that have dated views on certain subjects like Casablanca are allowed but genuinely malicious films like Birth of A Nation are not; I will mostly exercise my own discretion here but may put some cases up to a poll

Please don't be the reason I add any more here

I'll start when I feel I have enough submissions

One more thing: be nice. Hyperbole can be funny but actually hateful comments will not be tolerated.

Have Fun!
