I've made a huge boner.

[–]IAmAKanyeWestAMA 14 points15 points ago

I've never admitted to making a boner

[–]pmjm 9 points10 points ago

To be fair, most of my boners today are still mistakes.

[–]Waynker87 26 points27 points ago

Arrested Development?

I've never admitted to a boner. What would I have made a boner about?

[–]THE_GR8_MIKE 80 points81 points ago

Found a whole list of em'. Enjoy!

[–]xyroclast 33 points34 points ago

Not seeing how the 2nd-to-last one is sexual... Going to assume they just threw it in anyway because it's hilarious?

[–]ENKC 20 points21 points ago

I went and looked at it just to smugly point out the joke you missed. Yet, I'm admitting defeat here. Something about kicking a grizzly bear into a Christmas tree has a sexual connotation? There's a rule 34 I don't need to think about.

[–]CaptnAwesomeGuy 6 points7 points ago

Its a joke. Even Batman says it had no purpose.

[–]serverslayer 2 points3 points ago

Its a lead up to the grand boner finale.

[–]CaptnAwesomeGuy 1 point2 points ago

Its a joke. Even Batman says it had no purpose.

[–]Lots42 16 points17 points ago

"I don't understand this plan."

"Shut up!"

Ah, Bat-logic.

[–]muddzm 5 points6 points ago

I refuse to believe that the writers didn't know exactly what they were doing in most of these cases.

[–]SuperPowers97 5 points6 points ago

"Remember this leather thong? It still has your teeth marks in it!" ಠ_ಠ

[–]dorsenator 3 points4 points ago

Back in the day a leather cord was known as a thong. I have no idea what they were smoking back then, but it sounds like things were so groovy and sexual.. I'm going to go work on my "time machine" now.

[–]-ajp- 4 points5 points ago

How the hell is superdickery not linked here yet?

[–]ThePendulum 2 points3 points ago

Now here's something you should have had a long time ago...

Eek! Put me down, you caped idiot... you costumed creep... you... OWWW!

Hoo-boy! What a picture!

That last line was fucking hilarious in that suggestive context.

Whoa!

He is Justice, He is the night

Its actually "I am vengeance, I am the night"

[–]Danzaemon 1 point2 points ago

This page missed some of the more famous ones, though maybe that was intentional.

For instance, there was the old Batman comic panel that showed Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson lounging in bed together. (My girlfriend saw this, and still insists it proves Batman is gay.) Then of course there was the one where we see Batman carrying Robin out of a hospital, where Robin is thinking something like, "Batman is just trying to be gay to keep my spirits up."

[–]wulixue 80 points81 points ago

This would have been an entirely appropriate line for him to have said in the Dark Knight.

[–]Mac_Anu 40 points41 points ago

During that scene after the truck flips and he's mumbling to himself.

[–]SIOS 6 points7 points ago

I was actually reading it in the Mark Hamill Joker voice.

Starving children in Africa, newspaper reports some goon flying the wrong way.

[–]schniggens 16 points17 points ago

Anyone remember Kirk Cameron's best friend on Growing Pains? His name was Boner.

[–]Pratty77 3 points4 points ago

And now he's dead

[–]lunitabonita 1 point2 points ago

Suicide.

[–]schniggens 2 points3 points ago

Death by Boner.

[–]ilikenewsocks 44 points45 points ago

How many boners could the Joker make if the Joker could make boners?

[–]L4cer8 59 points60 points ago

40 boners. That's as many as four tens.

[–]Rampant_Durandal 52 points53 points ago

And that's terrible.

[–]Bigcat710 9 points10 points ago

The joker would make all the boners if the joker could make boners

[–]JCJen7 8 points9 points ago

Oh he can ;)

[–]howerrd 40 points41 points ago

7th grade math class: Mike makes a really simple mistake at the chalkboard, and the class laughs. Teacher puts his hand on Mike's shoulder and says, "Take it easy, guys. We all pop a boner sometimes." Even more laughter. Teacher had no idea what it means now.

[–]jaymuzii 30 points31 points ago

TWIST: Mike actually pitched a tent and everyone was laughing at him.

[–]OptimusPrimeTime 21 points22 points ago

Well, what did he expect!? That he could just camp out in the middle of the classroom? What a huge boner!

[–]Lots42 10 points11 points ago

I like how the newspaper takes time to mock a dangerous crime lord.

[–]monroseph 10 points11 points ago

I can ususally only make one boner at a time.

[–]DONT_SWEDDIT 3 points4 points ago

I can make one a half on good days

[–]ecdw 18 points19 points ago

"Chortle at Joker's boner." I chortled at that

[–]JaronK 8 points9 points ago

Note: the writer of this comic absolutely knew that boner had changed meanings to "hard cock." But the editor didn't, so he slipped it in... and used boner like this many times through that comic.

[–]colourofawesome 7 points8 points ago

I wonder what totally non-sexual terms we use today will become euphemisms in the future.

I'm hoping organize

[–]Fudrucker 2 points3 points ago

It goes the other way too. See: scumbag.

[–]Mewshimyo 1 point2 points ago

Community organizer :D

[–]colourofawesome 0 points1 point ago

Oprah shows you how to get organized!

The Complete and Unabridged Pocket Book of Boners contains 22 illustrations of boners by Dr. Seuss.

[–]Prahasaurus 16 points17 points ago

Joker's such a queer fellow.

[–]Lawd_of_Spoons 10 points11 points ago

I bet he just has a gay time, though.

[–]LordApocalyptica -2 points-1 points ago

That pun was so bad we should put you on some fags and light you up.

[–]thebeattakesme 7 points8 points ago

i guess that explains that guy's name from Growing Pains...wait...

[–]karmacarroll 5 points6 points ago

The word chortle isn't used enough these days.

[–]kittycatalyst 5 points6 points ago

Extended boner edition

not actually a gif.

[–]payswithfacial 9 points10 points ago

You mean when comic books were funny! That was always the joke.

[–]gonesnake 4 points5 points ago

Three times they had boner in this panel. Three whole times!

[–]someguysaid 3 points4 points ago

My old company used to set up our IT accounts to default to your surname and your first initial.

Roger Bone was set up on the system as "Boner". No-one else seemed to find it funny because in Australia at that time it wasn't really a word; however because I read a lot of sci-fi (Which at the time was mostly from the US) I knew and always found it funny.

[–]successadult 5 points6 points ago

My friend's grandma used "boner" while playing scrabble. A good laugh was had by all. Except her. She didn't know what was so funny.

[–]RunningPlay 9 points10 points ago

Fun Fact: It also referred to a nice, hard cock!

[–]Tacdeho 12 points13 points ago

What about an average, hard cock?

[–]schizoidvoid 15 points16 points ago

Or a hard cock that's kind of a dick sometimes?

[–]RunningPlay 0 points1 point ago

Especially this.

[–]RunningPlay 0 points1 point ago

As long as it was hard. Or, I'm going to say... bone-worthy. Useful in boning. Were it to be used in the act, it would not prompt the bonee to remark anything about "pushing rope."

[–]TheTrueHapHazard 7 points8 points ago

When boner meant cock-up.

FTFY

[–]joeyheartbear 3 points4 points ago

I find it more awkward when characters in books I am reading ejaculate while speaking.

[–]chicagogam 3 points4 points ago

i had a math teacher who would say that..i think his form was 'i pulled a boner' often followed by 'now cut that out..quiet down everyone..let me think...'

[–]FunkyDuncan 3 points4 points ago

People chortle at my boner all the time.

I never make mistakes though :(

[–]ElBiscuit 2 points3 points ago

I think we've all had at least a few boners that turned out to be mistakes.

[–]jvangoor 2 points3 points ago

The blue guy's face is the most appropriat reaction for this

[–]trav1th3rabb1 1 point2 points ago

I remember reading this comic a few months ago, and just laughed on how far the original meaning has gotten

[–]Redfoxyboy 1 point2 points ago

"But Bruce, how can Joker force you into a Boner?" -paraphrased Dick Grayson quote from the comic.

[–]havestronaut 1 point2 points ago

Here's a famous Baseball Boner.

[–]thekingsdaughter 1 point2 points ago

Chortle.

[–]ExplodingUnicorns 0 points1 point ago

Well that explains why the Joker is so mad at everyone.

[–]colossosbear 1 point2 points ago

I read "mistake" as "milkshake"... I not read so good.

[–]Gumderwear 0 points1 point ago

ha....the paper said " chortle" .

[–]Szos 0 points1 point ago

That's so gay... Words never change their meaning over time.

[–]adh729 0 points1 point ago

Any one else notice it says chortle.

[–]StormKid 0 points1 point ago

tat was funny lol

[–]TheHeroPig 1 point2 points ago

Just because it's semi-relevant... There's a radio program in Salt Lake City called Radio From Hell that has a segment called Boner of the Day. Basically they have three news stories where somebody has done something stupid, then the audience votes for the best boner.

[–]Aldesso 0 points1 point ago

Wait. Boner means something diffrent now?

[–]RavenPixie 0 points1 point ago

The outcome is still the same though, you make a boner, people laugh:)

[–]Squiggles5231 0 points1 point ago

Superdickery.com I am not sure if this is the orgin of these cutouts or not but it is where I first saw them a number of years ago.

The galleries are poorly designed. Change the display number to ALL(drop down on the right).

Superman is a dick

[–]craigsproof 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, found out that one when I was about 13 or so, and was playing my family in cards. Someone misplayed a card, my grandmother victoriously slammed down a card, stating, "You really pulled a boner."

I remember nearly popping a blood vessel awkwardly trying not to laugh.

[–]UnnecessaryPhilology 0 points1 point ago

Bone also means stupidity, compare its meaning in the compound bone-head. It was first used in writing in a 1912 publication of The American Magazine, "Boner—a stupid play; a blunder in the science of the game."

[–]doug8055 1 point2 points ago

I wouldn't want to hear: "Now that's a boner fit for the radio".

[–]PlumberManiac 0 points1 point ago

I'll be in the Joker's hideout.

[–]dj_polymath 0 points1 point ago

Remember Boner Stabone from Growing Pains? Even as a child in the mid '80's I somehow felt that was wrong.

[–]rumnscurvy 0 points1 point ago

Meanwhile, in Metropolis, Lex Luthor is popping boners like crazy

Or in the Simpsons where Homer tells Bart, "When I was your age, I pulled a few boners."

[–]sighbourbon 1 point2 points ago

yeah--i had a difficult time convincing my mom to stop using that 1940s expression

[–]oridjinn 0 points1 point ago

My Dad once told me as a Kid that I pulled a Boner when I got in trouble. I lol'd so hard and then got my ass kicked.
