Hugh Jackman Coaching a Boxing Robot Caption Contest: And the Winners Are…


_A5Q1048-UT.jpg

?Not bad, if I do say so myself! The pic of Jackman coaching a boxing robot wasn’t exactly the most ridiculous pic ever, but as I suspected, you guys came up with plenty of caption gold in this weekend’s contest. I’ll likely be doing this again — and to the guy who was not happy that TR would sink so low as do to a caption contest, my apologies, but I’ve been running a contest a week for more than two years. I just want to give you lovable bastards more opportunities to win TR shirts. Is that so wrong? It is? Well, who gives a shit, it’s my site. HMs and winners after the jump.


Let’s mention some honor, shall we?

The target area is only two meters wide. It’s a small thermal exhaust port, right below the main port. The shaft leads directly to the reactor system. A precise hit will start a chain reaction which should destroy the station. Only a precise hit will set off a chain reaction. The shaft is ray-shielded, so you’ll have to use proton rocket punch.

Sports item, circa 1974: Battling Maxo, B2, heavyweight, accompanied by his manager and handler, arrives in Maynard, Kansas, for a scheduled six-round bout. Battling Maxo is a robot, or, to be exact, an android – definition: ‘an automaton resembling a human being.’ Only these automatons have been permitted in the ring since prizefighting was legally abolished in 1968. This is the story of that scheduled six-round bout- more specifically, the story of two men shortly to face that remorseless truth: that no law can be passed which will abolish cruelty or desperate need – nor, for that matter, blind animal courage. Location for the facing of said truth: a small, smoke-filled arena just this side of the Twilight Zone.

? There he is! That’s the twat waffle that convinced me to do this movie!
? That robo-fucker over there was in those shitty Transformers movies from the early 21st century… You know what to do.
? …I was about to say something inspirational and then I realized something: You’re a goddamn robot. Just… I don’t know. Go hit shit. I’m gonna call my agent.

Winners after the jump.

Winner time!

“Join the Nintendo Fun Club, Mech!”

SpecterM91 nailed this early, and honestly, there was no better entry in the entire contest. Nerdy, absurd and clever. The “Mech” instead of “Mac” is just the icing on the cake.


DoctorSmashy said:

You can either sit here moping like an Autobot with an Astromech up his anal gallery or you can get back up and win this game like the drunk Yoda your are! NOW GO SHOW THAT CHUMP WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS!

DoctorSmashy finally gets his long-awaited shirt with a barrage of apt TR references, finely crafted into a stirring speech one might actually give a boxing robot.


Caveat Emptor said:

Go out there and break the first law!

More clever than funny, but very, very clever and in the nerdiest of ways.


tvtastegood said:

Yeah that’s Rob and you know what? He has pics of your wife TOPLESS as his blog’s LOGO!!!

Not an inside TR reference, but quite the TR meta-reference, and an incredibly apt one at that. Now I can’t stop thinking that all the topless robot pics I publish are of various robots’ wives, and that makes me giggle incessantly. Because I am an evil bastard. Thanks to everyone who entered, yadda yadda, you know the drill.
