Best Man-Thing joke:
“Giant-Sized Man Thing”
@gary: That’s the only Man-Thing joke.
I don’t read any of these, except T-bolts. But I’ve heard you praise H4H, PM&IF, and the ‘bolts… so Joe the Barbarian?
(I’m at work; can’t listen to the cast.)
@david brothers: I would thing that any *Descriptive Word* Man-Thing would be a joke.
Man-Thing is an empath. Fear causes him/it pain…
Esther: you were kind of right about the word for listening/hearing, it’s aurally, which is pronounced the same as orally. 😉
I remember when the Man-Thing movie came out on Sci-Fi (which was terrible by the way). They strategically didn’t advertise it as “Giant-Sized Man Thing.”
Astonishing Man-Thing, Incredible Man-Thing, Spectacular Man-Thing… she’s right!
And I remember the Man-Thing movie as well. It should be considered the second Man-Thing joke.
“You’ll never guess which one he wasn’t too fond of.”
If I said “the one that doesn’t star black people”, would I be close?
@Jeremy: You’d be right, but in the wrong at the same time.
