At least we aren't as gross as the elephant and that girl

It can be pretty gross when animals get too close to people. Which is more inappropriate -- this man and giraffe or the girl and elephant we had earlier this week? You be the judge, but just be funny and clean with your captions. Have at it, folks!

Whatcha gonna do, brother, when mini Hulkamania goes wild on you

Know this, loyal Caption Callers. We have a soft spot in our heart for professional wrestling. We grew up with heroes like Hulk Hogan. We even think we've got some of our brother's wrestling action figures and miniature ring in our bedroom at our parents' house.

But we digress. Write us a funny caption and don't poke too much fun at our childhood.

We loved to send our Slinky hurdling down the stairs, but we never had one big enough to trap us inside. Send us a funny caption for this unfortunate victim of play gone bad.

Grownups wearing Scooby Doo costumes in public is kinda weird, but it's arguably worse that they were caught napping on the job and have their photo snapped. Write us a funny caption for these lazy bones and submit it as a comment below.

puppy that fits in teacup

 

Tom Thumb, a 3-week-old Chihuahua, was one of the smallest dogs in the UK when he was born a few months ago. Small enough to fit in a teacup. (Getty Images)

A scene from the sequel to "The Ring". It wasn't as scary as the first one.

Caption Call Recap: Week of June 29

Get your recap on! Here are the funniest captions of last week...poll results are unscientific, as always. Feel free to disagree.

borat

 

With the new Bruno movie coming out from one of our favorites, Sacha Baron Cohen, we thought it was only fitting to pay homage to his more famous character Borat. Luckily, this crazy at the Glastonbury Festival in England did the hard work for us. (Getty Images)

 

Presenting LOUD GUY, defender of the weak, meek, and quiet of speak! In today's episode, our hero battles... The Chair!
Submitted by D.Keefer

 

cattle race


Whooo doggies! That's a big'un. We don't think this guy stayed on the cow/bull/steer/whatever it is much longer than after this picture was snapped. (Getty Images)

"When are you city slickers gonna learn that just like ridin' a bus don't make you no busboy, ridin' a cow don't make you no cowboy?"
Submitted by Pie Snelson

 

Once again Jim Kelly finds himself riding a bull on one of Ed Vidler's dares.
Submitted by Cait

 

elvis wedding

 

We've heard of being married by Elvis, but not marrying Elvis, or many Elvi as the case may be. Actually the Elvis on the center right recreated a scene from "Blue Hawaii" for his wedding. Classy. (Getty Images)

 

"If I had waited just a few more years I could have married a bunch of Michael Jackson impersonators...what a waste"
Submitted by Tim

 Cait misunderstood when her family asked her to bring home some mutton chops for dinner.
Submitted by Pie Snelson
