You should also be ready for what has historically been our most competitive round of all: Picture tweets. We provide the pics, you just choose one and make a funny.

Theme: Select any one of the photos below and write a caption, description, reaction, or dialogue for the picture. You may alter the photo if you wish.

Obscure For A Penny Zero 8: Round 3

Obscure For A Penny Zero 8

 

Welcome to the Sweet 16? Round 2 is over? Some people were confused by the topic? @ObscureGent almost punched a brick wall? Those are either questions or statements. Regardless, let’s put the past behind us. Our round of customer service questions produced some truly memorable entries and a vigorous debate over the MVP tweet. Now let’s move on.

As many of you know, Obscure Entertainment is comprised of three creative endeavors: The Obscure Gentlemen, 12 For a Penny, and Plain Zero. Last month, we engaged in a series of bracket challenges to debate the greatest movies, music and cartoons of all time.

In the wake of all that, we’re asking you to tweet about one of Plain Zero’s picks for the top movies of all time (and yes we know, they were questionable picks to say the least).

Topic: Write a tweet referencing any one of the movies below. You may use any format you like. Your tweet must be new and original. And funny.

The Princess Bride

Jurassic Park

Big Lebowski

Coming To America

Raiders Of the Lost Ark

Back To the Future

Obscure For a Penny Zero 8: Round 2

Round 2: The Customer is Always ???

 

We began with 128 contestants. Today, 64 brave souls battle on. Some Twitter giants were slain. Some underdogs came out of nowhere. A couple of protests were lodged. A handful of disqualifications brought shame upon contestants and their children and their children’s children. As we move on to Round 2, many questions are left up in the air. So let’s make a theme of it.

 

For Round 2, we want you to tweet a question. But a very specific kind of question: Customer Service Questions directed at companies. We want to see correspondence, dialogue tweets, fictitious FAQ excerpts. Be creative.

 

Theme: Tweet a customer service question (FAQs and dialogue tweets are acceptable)

Stipulation: Must be a NEW and ORIGINAL tweet. Do not use fast food companies or Coke/Pepsi.

 

Due: 6/8 11:34 A.M. PST

 

Send a link to your tweet via DM to @theobscuregents. You do NOT need to copy and paste the text.

Note: If your tweet is ruled a disqualification, there will be no rematches and your opponent advances by default. If by some strange chance both you and your opponent are disqualified, no one will advance in your matchup and your potential Round 3 opponent gets an automatic win.

While you’re watching the battle how about you go over and throw down a few bucks for Children’s Hospital? We’re raising money for the CHOC walk. Even a buck helps.
