    Too cheesey!!
    
    Thank you. I was trying to look beyond the obvious jokes about Spiderman and Flavio Briatore. I find that if you’re smirking when you’re writing the punchline, the joke probably isn’t as funny as you think it is. The trick is to take your time and find something in the picture that you can work with. It’s a little anarchronistic to talk about Caterham in a picture from around eight years ago, but I think it’s a small price to pay, and it stands out in a sea of Spiderman jokes. I tried to do it in the first caption contest, and when the obvious punchline was about cutting ribbons or hair, I managed to get away with rock-paper-scissors jokes and punchlines about topiary. Unfortunately, these were my best jokes; I haven’t done anything good since.
