Danny DeVito Enters The New Yorker’s Cartoon Caption Contest | The New Yorker

[@peteregan5974]

The line between Danny and Frank gets blurrier every day.

[@nrssarrey4375]

now their isnt a line

[@theonlymexicanman4422]

This is the first time I’ve heard the camera crew laughing at the jokes

[@malin9314]

Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly got a few laughs as well!

[@grammarofficer9985]

You have 666 likes!

[@claire-cc7fp]

Bobachess I was your 666th like

[@happyarewewhosmile]

Nick Offerman got some laugh. In my head Devito and Offerman are the only winners.

[@HotStrange]

Nick Offerman got some laughs I believe.

[@wisperingbeard]

2:09 At first I felt deeply let down that Mr. DeVito didn’t recognize his old nemesis. Then it struck me...only a genius supervillain like Penguin would coolly neglect to name The Batman while in his own spotlight.

[@bletheringfool]

I thought he was just being coy

[@alexpollock6932]

I always forget that that was him

[@tmcmil6480]

4)"I'm not Joking Sir, Catwoman slashed my tires again!

[@Roy-G-Biv]

The best part is him laughing at his own captions....adorable...but it was the grim reaper in the coffin......he didn't realize that??????????????????

[@stereolababy]

or batman in the subway

[@ccggenius]

As for something he ACTUALLY missed, that was clearly a subway station, not a bathroom or graveyard.

[@allyd3591]

6:25

[@seb611]

Lets just hope he never knows what death looks like

[@rockyfeola]

@@ccggenius he also called the bug antennas antlers

[@chuangtsu]

The grim reaper one - "At least he died doing what he loved."

[@TheTheode]

chuangtsu that’s dang fine

[@whoisme9117]

I thought "So this is the last one we'll have to go to?"

[@alexschroeder8902]

I was thinking “does this mean we are immortal now?”

[@bhoenix3213]

@@user-gf9ef2wv1u That one's pretty good.

[@jonathanjoestarwithpluck4930]

In the second one Danny Devito doesn’t know who the grim reaper is, which is a hint at the fact that he’s so powerful, death can never reach him.

[@mooble1325]

nah he's saying death's done damage, much as i'd love your take to be true

[@xtracheezyy9173]

Jonathan Joestar with Pluck preach brother Jonathan! preach!

[@buckashisensei]

Mila he literally said it was some dead guy with a "sickle" (scythe) the part where he said they have done a lot of damage could have been said about anyone. For example an abusive family member or just a straight up fuckwit

[@ItsMeRaven]

Danny’s handwriting makes me feel better about mine

[@fripplicious7466]

The bigger you write the harder it is, but Danny's isn't the best.

[@ZacGolus]

Mine is still worse lol

goes to show that good handwriting doesnt show professionalism

Oh, I've seen that movie...

[@radiaz121]

For the death in a coffin one, I would've said "Now there's just taxes left."

[@jackmaitland8496]

That's hilarious

[@DJBSharpMusic]

Well played

[@max_mittler]

Really good

[@theobafrali9112]

Radiaz how about, “now what do we do about taxes?” as a largely parallel construction?

[@aaronmuller6050]

Bravo, bravo

Aussie,but for them that is the like button.

It's ok, they're disliking The New Yorker, not DeVito.

[@Anthony-hu3rj]

Don't you know that any time anybody says HOW COULD ANYONE DISLIKE THIS!? people go for the dislike button? I'm going to pounce on it now just to annoy you. It's the internet, after all.

[@patmaloney5735]

[@kylemalachowski]

I like how he smiles as he writes it

[@vicyambao]

@4:07 "Call your friend Tom and we'll make a Turducken."

[@FromTheRoomOfLittleEase]

I think they were begging for something like that, these were way easier than what appears in the magazine. It's like celebrity jeopardy.

[@Jsuarez6]

Perfect caption

[@lfcoolg]

1:04 "I heard he left behind a wife, 2 kids, and a killer job"

[@AdamJLand]

“Looks like a guy with antlers” I’m sorry, what?!

[@porsche911sbs]

he confused antlers with antenna, apparently

[@kevinfager.]

The most I laughed was at his explanation of the Chernobyl suits 😂

@Illuminati Sheep whooosh

[@animalmother556x45]

@Illuminati Sheep It's supposed to be funny...like....how could the cops be so stupid to rule out suicide, because, like you said, it's death. HE'S the one that does the killing...so it has to be suicide.

[@animalmother556x45]

@Illuminati Sheep I'm not that smart

[@danielreed8029]

A few I came up with for each of the cartoons in order: 1. “What is this ‘2 girls 1 cup’ in your browser history?” 2. “I told you you should have gone with the abridged version.” 3. “Could you just orient your butt flap a little to the left?” 4. “They’d build a urinal anywhere nowadays” 5. “It’s part of my process” 6. “... to make the world a better place.” 7. (chicken and duck one I have no clue) 8. “Our new office space doesn’t seem to be working.” 9. “I’m starting to wonder if you married me for my lightbulbs.” 10. “Elon says he’ll be taking Tesla private when stock price hits $420”

[@redsoxguy6240]
