Okay, there’s a joke that the younger generation are hip to Internet stuff like memes and chat abbreviations.
But subsidiary puzzlements:
OK, let’s hear the pros and cons for whether it’s better with put the garbage out or would be improved with put out the garbage.
A sausage party?
We start off with a twofer on the same pun idea:
That’s sticking it to them! (or not)
We picked up this Wiley Miller one from the Why Evolution Is True website where it was sent in by a reader.
This Rubes from Andréa makes a deprecated usage exactly right for once!
Birthday note!
Today is the 200th for César Franck.
Here is a performance of his Violin Sonata in A:
OK, I get that the flying monkey has perhaps pooped on the car, but mutiny? And is this the witch who’s hydrophobic? Can never remember which witch is which.
Andréa sends in this synchronicity / Ewww. Kids and bidets. Never thought of them as such a big source of comic material. Marvin even spends a whole week on bidet gags, making you wonder a bit about what’s going on in Tom Armstrong’s life.

And thanks to Las Vegas Chasm, we can pair that condiment joke with a seasoning joke:
Or if not seasoning, then powdered mix for reconstitution …
Thanks to dollarbill for this Oy-Ewww from Argyle Sweater:
dollarbill’s comment: “I wonder if he brags about his gross income?”
See also the posts in Random Comments and Site Comments on his idea for a structured-commenting game. (Please respond there, not so much here.)
And now, a mini-fest of Bizarro!!
The bottom one, with the Motley Crüet, has been given Prof. Zwicky’s detail treatment!.
zbicyclist suggests accompaniment and/or a hint via a link to this video:
He notes, “If you watch closely, the lip synch (particularly for the piano playing) has a few misses in it” and that another, actually live performance is better in that regard:
A mordant bit of meta.
Are all of them possible “jumpers” in their own contexts?
Here’s that Sad-LOL promised in the Tags.
And from DollarBill, a Fusco Brothers LOL with some Meta or 4thWall aspects:
Thanks to Le Vieux Lapin for this one, which is some sort of word-play on language-related terms, so what is there not to oy?
For Argyle Sweater, one bad pun deserves another. The actual Pony Express is famous, but only existed for a short time, from from April 3, 1860, to October 26, 1861. Pricing didn’t help (The initial price was set at $5 per 1⁄2 ounce, then $2.50, and by July 1861 to $1. Normal mail service was $0.02 then.). The service continually lost money, and closed two days after the transcontinental telegraph connected Omaha with Sacramento.
Now we’ll segue into some that miss a bit. Kilby reminds us that Segway ceased production in June, 2020. One might ponder the various reasons why the Segway, introduced in 2001 to great fanfare, was a failure (and by the end, so out of mind it might have merited a geezer alert), while now e-bikes are flying off the shelves and electric scooters are commonly seen.
Well, there are some judgement calls here; let”s see if you agree. The “just ok” is enough to qualify it as a pun or Oy; but isn’t especially good, or enough to make it a funny Oy. However, the second shot, using the idea of “settling for [smthg]”, does make it work, and earns at least a chuckle. (No comment on the squirrel’s addition.)
For those of us who’ve served as executor of someone’s estate that wasn’t tied up very well, this will bring back painful memories. Painful OYs here.
And just when we were making plans to officially retire the Synchronicity category, this pair comes along within a week of each other with the same double pun. One factor is that this one was already published here, in last week’s OY list:
But this one is fresh:
Comics I Don't Understand
