OT: Boardies 2022 - The Mika Zibanejad Vegan Award for funniest poster

[Tob]

@Tob takin it this year. And he didn't even need an Xtranormal smear campaign to do it.

Comedy hasn't found the levels of the xtranormal days. It's all been downhill ever since.

Still hoping for a smear campaign in the Nicest Poster award.

And also I love John Cena and I will get in a fight about it. His performance as One Night Stand 2006 is the best crowd work in WWE history.

I have no clue about 2006 One Night Stand, but trust you.

Tob Wins Funniest Poster Award, Cements HFNYR Status

Tob has won the Mika Zibanejad Vegan Award for funniest poster in HFNYR's 2022 Boardies, with the victory putting an end to speculation over whether the poster would close his account and leave forever.

"No, I'm staying," declared the first 2022 Boardies winner. "In fact, I'm never leaving now. You have no idea how important this is to me considering how little else I have."

Tob finished with 28.8 percent of the voting, defeating sir avgaard hockey professor's 18.8 percent of the tallies. Will1066 finished third in the voting.

"Tob deserved this win," said sir avgaard. "My weird, nearly incomprehensible rants were just part of my schtick to be funny," he said. "Now that the funniest poster has been declared, I am going back to posting my thoughts normally about hockey and life in general."

Tob joins an illustrious group of funny posters that includes ThirtyOne. "Welcome to Valhalla," ThirtyOne said. "Well deserved," added Tob superfan Boris Zubov. "May he live forever."

Not everyone was amused by Tob's victory. "My condolences to all involved in Tob's future endeavors," quipped Irishguy42.

Amid the laughter and some tears, Loki Dog 74 offered all of HFNYR an important lesson: "It would be hard to get by if you took it all too seriously. But there are posters who only post ironic, sarcastic or 'on brand' responses -- who are funny, but don’t stray outside of their mode."

He continued, “'Having a brand' on a message board we post on for free seems a bit contrived. Just being funny by virtue of being yourself is far more valiant."

The post drew a minute-long standing ovation not seen since John Brancy sang the national anthem at Madison Square Garden.

Other contests in the 2022 Boardies are ongoing, including the Christopher James Kreider Award for most knowledgeable poster, Filip Chytil Surprisingly Long Tenure Award for best board veteran and Artemi Panarin Award for nicest poster. Meanwhile, SnowblindNYR is projected to win the Jacob Trouba Headshot Award for angriest poster by a landslide once again. SnowblindNYR has never lost that award.

I have amended your quote and beg for forgiveness.

There appears to be some confusion about what the function of a quote is.
