The Try Guys Try Their Hand at New Yorker Cartoon Captioning
The Try Guys, internet personalities and co-authors of "The Hidden Power of F*cking Up," participate in The New Yorker's Celebrity Caption Contest. They submit captions for a cartoon by artist Emily Flake, which depicts a woman at a party holding a drink while a man approaches her with a large fish. The Try Guys' entries include puns and absurd humor, with one caption reading, "Sorry, I only date guys who fish for compliments." The contest invites readers to vote for their favorite caption. This marks a crossover between digital comedy and the long-running magazine feature.
