Batman Name Generator - Page 2

Well it does seem rather obvious, but a more important question has to be asked. If we're all called 'Batman' how will we know which us has to go in for dinner when our Mums call us?

Sorry to disappoint, but I think I'll stick around for a while.

Of course,I never really left in the first place...technically speaking.

Ease up Grav. No need to pick on him.

Gravdigr · 06-21-2012, 01:02 PM

Meh, fuck him if he can't take a joke.

Oh, I can take a joke...a good joke.

A Sellars walked into the Cellar.

Why the long face, asked the bartender?

Oh he came with the suit, said the parrot, as the skeleton mopped up his drink.

Kind of a nonsensical conglomerate of bar jokes. But funny, right?

I like this one. Nice wordplay on my family name.

It was really one joke except for the last sentence.

And now I'm realizing my callous error. I didn't mean it that way, man. I was just conglomerating bar jokes.

John, it is one of the unwritten rules of social behavior that, when a joke is not funny to you, you simply don't say anything. You just move on, because an argument over whether something is funny is definitely not funny either.

Incidentally, the reason many people would find the Batman list to be funny is because it is unexpected: you expect that a name generator like that will be full of creative variations, like name generators always are. By making the results all "Batman," the list maker is 1.) surprising the reader with something unexpected, and 2.) implying that Batman is so cool, no other variation could possibly be better.

I'm not here to be social, I'm here to be me.
