Did You See That Ludicrous Display Last Night?
January 30, 2017 Football cake submissions are up again, which I assume means it's football season.
;)
These accurately reflect my feelings on this matter.
In fact, bakers seem to share my general ambivalence toward sports, and have provided us with all KINDS of unenthusiastic football treats to choose from.
;)
;)
;)
I swear this one's being sarcastic.
While this one...
;)
"I'm a little bit scared, and I want to leave."
Speaking of scared, does it mean anything if one of these is coming out of a gingerbread man's crotch?
;)
Asking for a friend.
I don't know what happened here, but I'm pretty sure it was just an excuse to draw boobs:
;)
Tell you what, non-fans, maybe we should practice being more enthusiastic.
"Hooray, he's kicked the ball!
"Now the ball's over there!
"That man has it now."
;)
"That's an interesting development!
"Maybe he'll kick the ball.
"He has indeed, and apparently that deserves a round of applause!"
;)
Huh.
On second thought, non-fans, just bring the cake.
Thanks to Wendy W., Dafna S., T.K., Audra B., Graeme, Carrie A., & Julia T. for footing the bill AND the ball. Which probably makes no sense, but I'm really trying here, promise.

Now I need to go watch The IT Crowd again...
Have you tried turning it off and on again? Maybe those cakes need to be "rebooted!"
"My mum's on FriendFace,...my MUM!"
That third picture looks like Hannibal Lecter if he were a pumpkin pie. I guess, if that were true, he'd only eat pie and it wouldn't be much of a story.
Go Team Guys!
Thank you for posting that "IT Crowd" video. WHY DOESN'T PBS OR BBC AMERICA CARRY THAT?!?!?!
I can live with disappointed footballs...o.0
[tilting head] Is it me or they tried to shape helmets on the cakes? No good.
I do know one thing. I will never ever look at gingerbread men the same way.
Well, I feel pretty much the same way about football. Eh.
Why do some of those footballs look as though they are screaming heelllpp....meeee
Kayk ~ PBS in Dallas shows the IT Crowd on Sundays at 10:00. Jen ~ Soooo funny! Just saw this the other day. The "Are We Not Men?" episode is hilarious. :D
Never mind the gingerbread mens green crotch fire with backwards toasting fork, why are they next to an escaped albino seal with a sheep on its back?
You know, I've never really thought about football from the equipment's perspective. Perhaps they regard it as the most horrible time of year, something to be endured but never enjoyed. These cakes demonstrate that idea pretty well.
How existential of the bakers.
The ginger-crotch ghost is creepy enough, but why are his friends wearing suspenders to hold up their fig leaves? And why are they smearing poo swirls on their chests? What kind of crazy camo is that? What does any of that have to do with football? I'm so confused....
42nd what? The artwork does loosely resemble uneven boobs, in a very strange, highly structured lift system of some kind. Perhaps from the same creative manufacturer who designed the neck sling from last week. And what is the significance of the green sperm? So many questions...
#4 is clearly an homage to hockey. Or maybe a preview of what will happen if you keep eating sweets.
I myself am pretty "meh" about football, and sports in general. I've tried to watch before, but I just don't get the excitement. However, I am happy for people who can enjoy football or other sports.
And, this was a funny post as usual.
IT Crowd! Thank you! Perfectly represented by cake.
On that last one, this is the first time in my life I've ever equated football with Grumpy Cat.
The ball is supposed to fly up and go sailing through the uprights, in a blaze of glory...
The crowd (+/-) goes wild.
You pull up your pants and go home. Score: Yes.
=^-.-^=
Just reviewing the "boob" cake again. Did they draw perky boobs AND saggy ones? And are they surrounded by Christmas coloured sperm? There must be even more to the story than what we're getting here. It's just that I'm not sure I want to know it.
Why is the Ravens player bleeding from the eyeballs?
On a brighter note, the gingerbread man cookie cutter would make excellent football players. Just not decorated like, you know, that.
I'm going to adopt the red helmet cake for my patronus. Nothing else says "you're kidding, right?" quite like that cake, and that's pretty much my motto for life.
Are we SURE cake #3 is related to sports ball? Though since I can't figure out anything else to which it might be related, it might as well be sports ball.
I wonder if any of these wreckerators have ever seen a football or even a football game lol. Those are hilarious cakes.
We have sportsing here in Australia too! And I feel about it exactly the way cake #2 does.
@Degera - yes!
Not sure about #3. Someone suggested it resembled your President until we realised they're footballs ...
The IT Crowd is on Netflix, for those who care. Love the shout out!
When did it become a "thing" to put a face on a football?
Well the caged mushroom does look rather like Moss... if you squint and imagine he's orange for some reason.... I agree with the other posters. Cakes make for a great "bring the IT Crowd to America" campaign....
On the gingerbread men...well they are "goal" posts, so I guess those cookies are getting lucky. I'll see myself out.
