The incumbent President Rock is still the favourite I believe.

[–]LynkDead 49 points50 points ago

This comic took me way too long to comprehend because I was trying to find a Rock Paper Scissors joke that just wasn't there.

[–]ajgz[S] 27 points28 points ago

Huh, I hadn't even thought of this. I tried rewording it a few times since too many people didn't get it initially :<

[–]Zeldon 24 points25 points ago

Don't do anything, the joke is good as it is =)

[–]robot_steve 7 points8 points ago

I got it, not everyone is familiar with the "don't run with scissors" thing. It's not something kids are told anymore.

[–]LynkDead 4 points5 points ago

I'm very familiar with the phrase. I think the issue was that scissors was being portrayed in a competition/contest, and everyone knows that scissors competes with rock and paper.

[–]Stingray88 1 point2 points ago

You worded it perfectly, and the post title was good too!

[–]deviantbono 0 points1 point ago

There is a RPS joke there. Rock beets Scissors, so Rock would be favored to win (at least by anyone who knows the rules). Of course, Rock's middle name is Hussein, so that can't help.

BaROCK Obama?

[–]LupusOk 6 points7 points ago

ThaROCK Obama?

[–]Joshf1234 2 points3 points ago

The People Elbow gets a whole new meaning...

[–]TheWoodenMan 14 points15 points ago

I agree, he may be blunt at times but he is hard on crime.

Vote for Rock!

[–]spif 2 points3 points ago

Can you smell what the Rock is cooking?

[–]recreational 10 points11 points ago

Absolutely. President Rock is unbeatable. With Governor Scissors out of the way, anyone that casts for long-shot candidate Senator Paper is just throwing their vote away.

[–]N0V0w3ls 18 points19 points ago

HEADLINE: Surprising Upset, Paper Covers Rock!

[–]Nemoder 11 points12 points ago

But Paper was completely shredded by Scissors in the polls, how does he have any chance against Rock?

[–]whatevers_clever 4 points5 points ago

I only trust him as far as I can throw him though

[–]writesomethingwitty 1 point2 points ago

I disagree. He obviously wasn't cut for this job.

[–]tavernkeeper 1 point2 points ago

Its a shame scissors always wins the primary against paper.

[–]kabukistar 0 points1 point ago

But without Scissors running, Paper has a clear shot to victory.

[–]KatzMotel 61 points62 points ago

He would have made cuts to public services anyway.

[–]producer35 15 points16 points ago

This thread will soon be papered with puns. That will rock.

[–]TypicalHaikuResponse 10 points11 points ago

The shear amount of times this happens on reddit is innumerable.

[–]thatsgoodsoup 10 points11 points ago

I'm not very scissors at puns.

[–]TypicalHaikuResponse 6 points7 points ago

I don't like the cut of this guy's wordplay

[–]burgerofthepast 42 points43 points ago

My brain at 7am:

Ah cuz he'll cut their heads off. I get it. That's funny.

:|

[–]Kyoti 13 points14 points ago

::pours a cup of coffee for you:: ya look like you could use this!

[–]durant0s 40 points41 points ago

it is because running with scissors isn't safe that makes this joke funny.

[–]dentttt 12 points13 points ago

Ohhhhhhh, NOW I get it.

[–]Harachel 2 points3 points ago

Relevant Doghouse Diaries.

[–]TheScissors 19 points20 points ago

I never knew I had run for president.

[–]runsoutofspace 1 point2 points ago

He's your long lost twin.

[–]stumpgod 0 points1 point ago

The Scissor Sisters.

[–]jarejay 0 points1 point ago

That's a porno. No doubt about it

[–]Dajbman22 7 points8 points ago

What happened to Rep. Yankovic? He ran with Scissors back in the 1999 campaign.

[–]IZ3820 14 points15 points ago

Milk came out of my nose. I wasn't even drinking milk.

[–]InABritishAccent 13 points14 points ago

You should get that checked out...

[–]IZ3820 12 points13 points ago

I'm just going to call it face-cum.

[–]Larsen1337 4 points5 points ago

I guess he didn't make the cut.

[–]Lawsuitup 3 points4 points ago

I am almost certain Weird Al would run with him.

[–]TheJoshwa 2 points3 points ago

I would vote for him shearly for his ability to cut down the national debt.

[–]ReigninLikeA_MoFo 1 point2 points ago

If it wasn't for my mother, I never would have gotten this joke.

[–]Yaverland 0 points1 point ago

Excellent pun in the title

[–]jackofallhearts 1 point2 points ago

Your title was funnier then the comic. Hats off.

[–]PatrickAnimi 2 points3 points ago

OP did the comic too.

[–]jackofallhearts 1 point2 points ago

Honestly makes it better. Didn't mean to insult, just that they should go together.

[–]Laundry_Hamper 0 points1 point ago

He was always far too divisive for me anyway

[–]RollingRick 0 points1 point ago

One of the punniest posts I've seen in a while.

[–]kagesars 0 points1 point ago

upvote just for the title

[–]Borror0 -1 points0 points ago

"It would be more accurate to say he couldn't find anyone to run with him that wouldn't hold him down."

[–]unrealious 0 points1 point ago

Another promising career cut short.

[–]unrealious 0 points1 point ago

Governor Paper said he didn't want anything to do with that guy.

[–]unrealious 0 points1 point ago

I watch a clip of him. Just that snippet was enough to cut all support.

[–]synonymous_with 0 points1 point ago

One of the better titles I've seen on a reddit post. I was expecting it to ruin the punchline, added to it instead. Well done.

[–]Therealsebastiandior -1 points0 points ago

THAT'S STUPID, YOU'RE STUPID

[–]Me66 -3 points-2 points ago

He should have tried recruiting at /r/firstworldanarchists

[–]MrMiyagiSan -4 points-3 points ago

It reminded me of Running with scissors, developers of "Postal". http://crasstalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/logo_running_with_scissors.jpg
