Adam Scott Enters The New Yorker Caption Contest | The New Yorker

[@Epok97]

1:13 Oh don’t worry it’s a hybrid.

[@sarayan.3467]

That's good

[@dsandwich12]

There's a spare leg in the trunk here.

[@love2manythings]

"she's a real beast off-road"

[@toddphelps5030]

It's not gas or diesel; it runs on pedestrians.

[@niradgupta4075]

"No, I said I have a tiny pianist."

[@SomethingSeemsOff]

this is the best one ive read!

[@23Guitardood]

That's gold, Jerry!... GOLD!

[@vashtilantigua908]

Nirad Gupta hahahahaahahha!

[@lancelink2812]

I said I have a 3" 'Pianist'

[@sarayan.3467]

Aww!

[@grobertson9]

4:47 "You're dumping me? It's because of my tiny pianist, isn't it?"

[@andrewkay3276]

that's already the joke, the tiny pianist was in his butt, having the piano already hints that he actually wasn't surprised by it

[@chr0n0trigg3r]

Andrew Kay Pee-ah-nist, now say it faster and it'll make sense.

[@ryndanriley5348]

Andrew Kay you didn't get it...

[@cortesej2]

I think my last girlfriend lied to me, pianist size does matter :'(

[@tahsinsabah833]

Grant Robertson perfect

[@AisuruMirai]

The actual winning captions for these _The New Yorker_ caption contests: 1) "Solar panel sold separately." 2) "This is why I didn't want a Monday-night appointment!" 3) "Relax! It just smells the other car on you." 4) "Get a hammer." 5) "Coffee and doughnuts. No wonder they're endangered." 6) "Invent a job!" 7) "Miley's here." 8) "Looks like you just missed Him." 9) "He only plays when I'm on hold." I think 6 and 8 are the only ones that are any good.

[@Li-yt7zh]

AisuruMirai All brilliant! Thank you :))

[@lininacrowne1941]

For 3 I thought: incredible mileage

[@は私です彼の名前]

AisuruMirai invent a job!! Gold

[@rominac1389]

Glad to know I'm not the only one who thought of Miley Cyrus visiting.

[@tardersauce3578]

I like 5 as well

[@BiscuitAWitch]

5:00 "8 inches, yes. Why would I lie about the size of my pianist?"

[@peterbauer1494]

Well. You win I guess.

[@beagreen320]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@NoOne-nk5fe]

Haha it's funny that as soon as the handwritten words change into typed ones, they seem correct. 😂

[@moeezS]

We've associated rightness with that font lol.

[@dustinmartin9]

Yeah weird I noticed that too

[@alecdanner6109]

4:53 Piano guy: "I wasn't expecting such a big audience tonight."

[@melquizedec]

but the guy is talking on phone....hmmm

[@TheCentralflorida]

Oh yes. Good one.

[@bryanpuckett9269]

The pig one: “Bill hasn’t been himself since he started investing.”

[@TheCentralflorida]

Nice! That's great

[@footsoldierofchrist]

“i don’t like change” like change as in money

[@jeremyhagen7684]

Look, at that slot!

[@BrandonGraham]

Bad captions, but he knows it. So I like it.

[@Onorrie]

Brandon Graham I dig this series, Bill Hader’s was the same way. You never realize how weird a one panel cartoon can be without the caption and seeing comedic actors struggle with the context is strangely entertaining lol

[@dh472]

he is not that bad. he is better than some other contestant

[@dylanmorgan2752]

He’s by far the best I’ve seen out of most of these videos that have popped into my recommended section.

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

"Is this Chipotle?", really got me for some weird reason...

[@sophiaanderson3064]

0ooTheMAXXoo0 me too 😭

[@dylanmorgan2752]

“The elevators down the hall” was a good one.

[@dylanmorgan2752]

And the piano

[@MrOuchiez]

I wish it was: "Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon?"

[@nakullele]

Me too

[@fasteddie9970]

4. "Back at the old trough eh? So much for his get rich quick scheme."

[@dreamterry]

Excellent!

[@MrSF247]

That's good! I was disappointed he didn't notice the 3rd one was a piggy bank.

[@hellsyeah6768]

Really good, but I would trim it to just the last sentence.

[@elissamarcus8174]

“You want my two cents? Cuz Bob sure doesn’t.”

[@glendale6]

Good!! With all that coinage in there, he won't be eating much

[@dimitreze]

1:40 Believe me, this thing runs like a beast!

[@johnhughes2745]

"Wait til you hear this baby purr"

[@lovelypacific]

“Trust me, it’s a scream”

[@Coffee-zv9ln]

"I heard you're looking for a hybrid"

[@GreigFields]

And it has a great crash test safety rating!

[@JimSteinbrecher]

"and the best thing is, it runs on pedestrians"

[@pkfiremusic]

You know you’re funny when you can deliver non-funny captions so well they elicit laughter.

[@alexandraszoke2127]

Adam saying sorry after every joke he makes is a mood

[@HansvandeBruggen]

0:08 “Step 3: Connect water supply” 0:40 “It’s like whenever the game is on, I can no longer get his attention!” 1:13 “Just wait ‘till you hear this baby purr” 1:55 “I hear he’s loaded” 2:21 “This neighborhood has really changed” 2:56 “Take a close look. They’re called ‘wheels’.” 3:24 “…I told them they could have the house over my dead body. Hang on, I think there’s someone at the door.” 4:08 “I’m sorry, Mr. Johnson is no longer with us.” 4:47 “I mean, he plays beautifully, but I really thought he’d know ‘Tiny Dancer’”

[@cheesecakelasagna]

I appreciate the timestamps

[@guyyouseewhenyoudie]

I know this is late, but I actually really appreciate all of these

[@sharonjunekim5624]

Love them!

[@bellaengalla7829]

these are really good hahaha

[@Jerbear767]

These are all great. Better than the originals, honestly.

[@Noonmail]

1:40 can’t afford the monster truck? I’ve got just the thing

[@xTheOxx]

Makes me feel better about my own atrocious caption ideas.

[@BachMaiMusic]

Gotta get Demetri Martin on this

[@jurgeysamuel]

Yes

[@angelalynch4464]

2:30 "The rhinoplasty business is booming in L.A."

[@jcprs69]

1:53 Sure he's rich now, but sooner or later he'll be broke

[@wescameron8308]

1:40 "Just remember not to fill it up after midnight..."

[@thejuniorseas7683]

Wes Cameron Mine was Gremlins reference too!

[@jimmychops2714]

The Caveman one: "Pardon me, do you have any "Grey Poupon"?"

[@dsxmotorsports]

Jimmy chops it’s the perfect juxtaposition of how disconnected the super rich are with the homeless

[@dimitreze]

4:45 Could you hold on, Jimmy Page will be down in one minute...

[@Cardinalbins]

dimitreze Is this your try, or the original?

[@dimitreze]

mine, baby!

[@elissamarcus8174]

“Did you see that Jeff just got a promotion?”

[@truhill3986]

A funny one for the rhinoceros one would be “well I don’t wanna point out the elephant in the room...” ba dum tss I’m sorry

[@ihavenoidea64]

Don't judge me for this. But 4:07- honey, Cheryl says to turn on the news

[@justindtackett]

Yes!!!! haha

[@CrispyChknWrap]

Wrecking ball one: “can you turn the tv down, I’m on the phone!”

[@FilmHerald]

My comment for the car would have been "It gets 35 MPP!" "Don't you mean MPG?" "No"

[@xir1111011]

I love this man. Adam, please let me meet you, you seem like the best person to get lunch with!

[@VinhPrag]

Best of all the celebrity caption videos I've seen.

[@JohnSmith-bv3bn]

"...Three years, 'hundred thousand miles, or hip dysplasia; whichever comes first." - Salesman "Some of us make all the bacon." - Pigs "Quite the watering-hole." - Rhinos "Get a job!" - Limo "We'll I'm sorry but I'm a 63 year old woman, not a linebacker." - Heaven or "...I need the trap-door again. I'll send his paperwork down."

[@kenmcdonald8400]

This beast has fur wheel drive

[@killroy123]

@1:12. "Its a dream machine. Purrs just like a kitten".

[@dreamterry]

Fabulous!

[@h4h4productions73]

“I dont know what we expected moving into an all-rhinoceros neighborhood”

[@TakeTheRedOne1st]

For the pig one I was thinking it could say "why doesn't he just buy his own food?" ... Because the one that's eating is a piggy bank... Get it? Lmao yeahhh that's not very good at all 😂

[@johnmartinez7440]

Out of all the New Yorker celebrity videos, his resonates the most with me, because I imagine this is how I'd perform - not great captions, couldn't think of a captian for one of them, and really scruffy handwriting. Great stuff.

[@bloggerheads]

0:40 "If you CAN'T see them, why did we break for the halftime show?"

[@HighOnAmmo]

The one with the wrecking ball coming through the wall. "Wow, Ethyll. The Kool Aid man sure has lost weight!" hahah

[@SummerHaze13]

I loved this! Please do more

[@2taggs2]

Instead of, "Is this Chipotle?" I was thinking more: "Pardon me... would you have any Grey Poupon?"

[@23Guitardood]

Nick Jasper first thing I thought of too. Missed opportunity, for sure.

[@aaronrussell7369]

Which way to Jurassic Park?

[@mesajarjarbinks9747]

Best one yet

[@RadarLakeKosh]

For the limousine: "I say, sir... Have you any Grey Poupon?"

[@judy-9999]

The car with legs: "Once you own this baby, no one will steal it!" "Park anywhere; no one will come close to this baby." 😊👍🙋💞🇨🇦

[@ameritoast5174]

1. You forgot the dryer Dan! 2. You are right, no one in their right mind would be a Jets fan. 3. I have a monster of a deal for you! 4. Do you think he will save any for us? 5. If you don't get here early it feels like a stampede. 6. Now lets see how last years lottery winner is doing 7. Close the window, I think I feel a draft. 8. Should I hold your calls? 9. I may be small but I play big hits.

[@CodeytheArtist]

3:19 "Welcome to New Jersey, Sir." Lol

[@Bea-ip8ju]

I'm in love with Adam Scott

[@cassetiquette]

“Is this Chipotle?” made me laugh.

[@chelseashurmantine8153]

This is the best one so far

[@OdditiesandRarities]

1:50 "The new Cougar" - "Don't call my wife that."

[@HighOnAmmo]

Mine would've been... "Sure it eats up gas but it can hibernate and conserve in the winter" yeah Adam Scott...Get ON MY LEVEL. LOL

[@vinnakotaskrrrao473]

Well, today is caption writing competition in my school tnq for your service 😊😊

[@ellamendez5992]

I love Adam Scott!!!! He is such an amazing actor!!!!

[@marinafishman2129]

1:52 I have to say I loved his caption!

[@pigmassacre]

Lol the last one is legit great

[@easttoast42]

For the wrecking ball one: "You missed."

[@talkingtooloud]

Only caught the middle of the vid but, "Just listen to this baby purr". "Look at that $10 swine". and "Are you kidding me Rhino?" were my first thoughts. Love watching these and love Adam Scott Ice Town faux pas and all!

[@christinakavanagh3912]

Love the last one!

[@abramnotabraham2253]

The apologies were my favorite part ❤

[@Sashik]

0:40 "Life is just a game." 1:20 "This car is a beast." 3:08 "Larry, your vacation is over, get back to work!" 3:39 "Three pizzas, please." 4:57 "I want to become a pianist"

[@purplemind93]

How does he not age!!! The first one was really good.

[@amsvid]

2:09 "God, Bob has really changed." 3:26: "Honey, Miley's missing."

[@sarahd1250]

For the pig one “what a greedy slot”

[@atreyurenaud515]

these are so fun to watch without sound

[@thisisJUSTlikestonewall]

2:27 oh my god, that reference to le rhinoceros is brilliant

[@stevengoomba6490]

“Is this Chipotle” is freaking hilarious

[@alexpflaum6228]

“Is this Chipotle” is gold 😂

[@plaZmaToad]

that intro sounded just like my alarm and i almost cried

[@cheesecakelasagna]

Bilbenshire Cinema lmao

[@niftythegoblin]

Right as I read this, _my alarm went off_

[@kaichenghuang8888]

2:17 is pure magic. Who's with me?

[@krishnagandhi3852]

0:50 “This isn’t even a house call!” 1:42 “I PROMISE he’s a good boy”

[@CodeytheArtist]

My caption for 1:46 “You’re gonna love it, this car is a real beast on the streets.”

[@benjaminstone4829]

I love the drum fill transition after they complete the caption

[@SamLyn]

Awwww... i feel so bad for him, he seems so nervous! But they were really funny!

[@at8ax]

One demerit to the last cartoonist for drawing the piano backwards (the curve is on the player's right), and another to Mr. Scott for not recognizing a riff on a very old joke.

[@MaharbaRacsoChannel]

5. "I don't get it Hannah. What's so special about a nudist coffeehouse?"

[@williamwolfe8708]

wrecking ball: "That's right, Sally, they haven't collected the rent in 3 months -- what idiots!"

[@judy-9999]

WINNER: "He only plays when I'm on hold" Yes, . . it didn't use the old "play on words" fallback, . . but then, the tiny piano is irrelevant (it could be a tiny man with harmonica?). AND I DID actually lol at others, such as these two: Darth Shredrax: " Yes, 8"; why would I lie about the size of my pianist?" Nirad Gupta: "No, I said I had a tiny pianist." They're ALL GREAT. Thanks guys 😊👍

[@SeanDS89]

I figured these would be bad but I watched anyway cause Adam Scott is awesome :)

[@kylemccormick4589]

4:50 “Sing us a song, you’re the nano man”

[@billyconnelli8853]

3:24 "I thought they said they were coming on Thursday. Oh well, Wheel of Fortune is on in an hour and I can't miss it."

[@thacrackfox]

Car Dealership: We sat right here in this room and went over this and over this... I SAID I DIDN'T WANT ANY TRUE-COAT! Rhinos: Honey the therapist said you need to be more assertive. Now get us a table.

[@BornAgainCynic0086]

1:27, you want performance, this beauty is a real beast.

[@george7376]

Isaac Newton: *slaps car* Car: *slaps newton*

[@timsullivan4566]

The last one screamed out at me: "No I didn't say I've GOT one - I said I've got one in my ROOM...no, I said pianist... PIANIST! "

[@wetlazer]

"Is this Chipotle?" was good.

[@TheCentralflorida]

Piano "No....I ordered the tiny panini"

[@thisklik]

C Burkens 😂😂😂great

[@hungryninja123]

5:35 was actually pretty clever, that's the best one

[@hollyodell4012]

The wrecking ball one, "Kathy, I'm going to have to call you back. Someone's at the wall."

[@TheAirsoft220]

1:40 You should hear this baby purr

[@biggering]

This one of Adam Scott is cool. Next let’s get one of Scott Adams.

[@edwardshaw1743]

0:41 "You see Doc he would rather watch a garbage fire than talk about this relationship" (Because the Jets suck) 1:48 "No we no longer say horse-powered" 1:54 "Look at he can't stop begging for money" 2:45 "I thought you said we were going to talk about the elephant in the room" 3:28 "Hey can I crash at your place" 4:09 "Do you want me to cancel your colonoscopy?"

[@lateblume4208]

4:47 "Hello room service? Im trippin balls rn"

[@QuantumBraced]

"Is this Chipotle" was pretty good

[@ShirleyTSaint]

The last doodle was setup for a "Seinfeld" caption, I'm convinced of this.

[@suepy]

4:06 see carol, its not just our marriage thats falling apart now, its also the building!

[@mulethedonkey2579]

5th one "the money will all trickle down eventually" or "how undignified!"
