Editor’s Choice Awards – Supernatural “Caption This” Game #201-300
300 Supernatural “Caption This” games! It’s amazing that Nate and The WFBFamily have been teaming together for seven years to imagine what could have, should have, or forever will be the perfect commentary on Supernatural‘s unsuspecting moments! Nate’s first “Caption This” challenge appeared on The WFB in July of 2015. Before him, Karen, Alice and a former team writer Ardeospina sparked our love for adding humor and irony to Supernatural scenes. With all that practice, you have gotten really good at this!
It was incredibly hard to narrow down all the amazing winners to just a few finalists, but if we’re going to award prizes (yes, real, tangible Supernatural grand prizes are coming!), we had to find a way to choose the best of the best. To evaluate the 100 winners most fairly, Nate, Alice and I each reviewed the 100 captions independently. That way, each entry was judged by three different senses of humor and perspectives on the show. Nate kicked off our celebration by announcing his Editor Choice Awards. I was happy to see his favorites included Young Dean daring Young Sammy (#268) and Sam looking for a Moose Crossing (#297), as those were both semi-finalists for me, too.
In total, 30 winners out of the last 100 made it to my semi-final list! I wish I could acknowledge all of them. After several passes and lots of laughs, though, the following 15 captions rose to the top as my favorites. They are the ones that make me smile, touch my heart and express my sentiments about the show the best. They are presented in categories that best showcase why I think the caption is a perfect match with the picture.
Thank you for sharing your inspiring creativity with us.
Best Dean Voice
Winning Captioneer: AlyCat22
Even if he didn’t say it aloud, you know Dean was thinking it!
Best Sam Voice
Winning Captioneer: Stephen Burns
Poor Sam! I laugh every time I see this caption. One of the bravest men in the universe who has stared down God, Death and the devil is terrified of clowns!
Best Castiel Voice
Winning Captioneer: Melissa Wyatt
Freeze frame on a moment when Castiel learns about human children in tutus. Perfect!
Best Jack Voice
Winning Captioneer: Marion
This is one of the moments that should have/could have been the future for TFW2.0. Overachieving dads and the most powerful entity in the universe dealing with the omnipresent curse of school science projects!
Best Crowley Voice – Tie
Hokey Pokey Winner: Joan ; French Fries Winner: CrowleyLives
I love them both so much, I couldn’t choose between them. Crowley always was one step ahead of our boys, teaching them the ways of the world!
Best Bobby Voice
Winning Captioneer: Alycat22
You can hear Bobby saying this with his deadpan, disarming honesty. Love it.
Best Supporting Character
Winning Captioneer: @superunditchabl
Donna’s “What the cuss?!” reaction to hearing about vampires is one of my favorite comedic lines in Supernatural. Put that together with Jody’s blunt practicality, add the chemistry between these two ladies, and you have genius.
Best Meta
Winning Captioneer: Alycat22
From two years ago, the clever tie-in of Walker and Supernatural was too good to pass up. Jared would be proud.
Best Plot Callback
Winning Captioneer: Wendy
Jared’s puppy dog eyes and brilliant delivery made a throwaway line in season 3 (“Bad Day at Black Rock”) a beloved classic of Supernatural. Many years later, Wendy gave us this character-perfect reminder that Dean will never stop teasing Sammy, Sam will never stop being exasperated with his brother’s pranks, and we will never stop loving their moments as brothers.
Wittiest Caption
Winning Captioneer: Tara
The “wait for it” boomerang connection between Dorothy, Charlie, Oz and the bunker is so smart. I wish I had thought of it.
Most Unexpected
Winning Captioneer: Alycat22
This is another one-liner that makes me laugh every time I see it. Balthazar could easily have slipped this question into a conversation with Castiel, amid a rapid fire stream of consciousness about his latest exploits, fleeing his deadly enemies and catching up with his old friend. It SO fits his personality.
