Friday Caption Fun, Round 88
April 16, 2010 100 Comments
Yesterday we said a tearful goodbye to Halo 2 and every other online original Xbox title. Thankfully though Bungie’s got your back through this very difficult time. This weekend for your double experience pleasure is Team Throwback, an offering focused on familiar favorites. It’s not Multi Flag on Coagulation, but it will do. Oh who are we kidding, we are going to miss good ol’ Halo 2! Let’s distract ourselves from the pain by going over the more entertaining responses from last week and then we can caption a brand new screenshot. To our beloved Halo 2: this one’s for you…
- “Bip?” “Bap.” “Bam!” *high fives* (Panncakez)
- “Johnson and Johnson: A family company” (porge)
- “Finally, someone else who knows what the ladies like!” (A Shaky Shotgun)
- “You ever wonder why we’re here?” (SonofMacPhisto)
- “Cloning: How Sgt. Johnson really survived the legendary cut scene of Halo: CE.” (retinence)
- “I see your schwartz is as big as mine.” (Schedonnardus)
- “And here we see the problem with giving away codes to unlock Johnson in Firefight. Repetition repetition repetition.” (ZZoMBiE13)
- Miranda, “That’s not what I meant when I said I wanted two Johnsons ready for insertion!” (JLay)
That’s a shame they misinterpreted your request Miranda. I definitely feel your pain on that one. I’m thinking the pilot of this particular Pelican misinterpreted a request somewhere along the line as well. Tell me what exactly is going on in the following rather odd screenshot, preferably in the form of a witty caption please!

Hawty McBloggy Invites You to Play 
“When the Chief asked to ‘take her for a spin’, no one expected this.”
I did.
EPIC NOSE DIVE!
“It took me 20 years to learn how to do this”
“I told you this thing could park on a dime”
“Hold RB to fl…….wait, how’d you do that?”
The execution of the pilot’s Totem Pole landing was near perfect.
“Uhhh Houston We have a problem”
There’s a reason why you can’t pilot Pelicans in Halo, it’s so the marines can’t get to them.
“Damnit Larry, I said PARALLEL, NOT VERTICAL PARKING!”
Since the release of Modern Warfare 2 and Halo 3: ODST, the pilots back in Halo 3 have had a lot of time on hands, so why not try pelican break-dancing?
it should be piloted by someone in green Hayabusa so I can say “go ninja go ninja go”
When Sargent Johnson told pilot Anders to fly all the way to the other side of the world, Anders decided to take the fastest route.
*Grif hands Caboose 20Cr*
Grif – “How the hell did you know Sheila could do that?!”
Look on the bright side, Foe Hammer. The last thing the Covenant will expect is an aerial insertion…from underground.
lol, Best one by far!!!!!!!
Transformers more than meets the eyes
When a barrel roll comes up short.
The pelicans new desire for bacon led to its first attempt to hunt on land. Needless to say, he will be sticking to fish from now on.
“So I was walking along one day, when I saw a pelican nose down, and I was like, WTF?”
“Uhh, Commander… Whadda we do now?”
“Ok, just reverse, reeeeaaalll slowly…”
It takes a very macho pilot to be able to get it up in the presence of a hog.
And this is how Shelia crash landed
Out of gas?
After years of waiting Magneto finnally makes his way into Halo.
The pelican trys to blend in with the trees.
“I asked Foehammer to go down on me, I don’t think she quite got what I meant.”
I hate when my wife drives!
The attempt of recreating the Halo 1’s Halo opening scene in Halo 3 went horribly and oddly wrong.
“Timber!!!”
“Right that is element three of your pilots test done.”
“There’s something slightly odd here Jenkins… Wait, that’s it, why is there no driver in that hog?”
Cool the air brake works!
Bugs Bunny reference FTW
Soldier, why did you stop driving this Warthog?
Not my fault, someone put a Pelican in my way!
“Maybe Master Chief took “rocking the boat” a bit too seriously”
You know that a nose dive is a good way to avoid a missile, but doing one a hundred feet above the ground is not that clever.
Training pilot: I said show me a three point landing.
How is this a touch and go?
He’s applying for “America’s Best Dance Crew”
Cpl roberts aced the pelican crash test
Cpl jacobs on the other hand…
Marine 1: “Wow look at this.”
Marine 2: “pfff, Female Pilots”
“This doesn’t seem physically possible!!!”
“If it has wings, I can crash it!”
>_> …….. <__> ………… ::POKE::
LOL, that got messed up… :P it was supposed to be:
>_> ……. <_< ………. ::POKE::
What you don’t see is the MJOLNIR-Powered Super Soldier Ant under the nose of the Pelican.
Did i get him…..man i hate spiders. Squashed him good. Don’t like em even 20,000 feet under me.
“Dude, this thing handles waaaay different than the helicopters in Bad Company 2.”
faceplant – now more epic
facepalm – you’re doint it wrong
yes, you are doing it wrong
Before the Falcon and the Hornet, Bungie tried letting players have vertical take-off and landing with Pelicans. They cut it when they realized it was unbalanced.
oh and the obligatory:
This is not a natural formation.
HA! I told you you couldn’t hit the warthog!
Even in flight school, Foe Hammer was quite the show off.
Lawn Darts: Pelican Version
Pelican won’t turn on a dime, my ass!
How awesome would it be if Halo had MW’s perks system. Yeah, THAT awesome.
“I hope this expierince hasn’t put you off of flying, because you know, it’s still the safest way to travel.”–Superman
What you are witnessing here is the mating ritual of the male Pelican, performing feats of strength to woo the heart of the fertile female Warthog.
Some species burrows its face underground to escape the gaze of watchful predators. This Pelican may very well be natural selection at its worse.
When making Valhalla for the first time, the Pelican crash was a little… Special.
The pilot forgot the most important part of the dive, pulling up.
You’ve failed me yet again StarScream….
_________
AUTOBOTS!!! Transform and Roll out!!
Damn, it was the first thing i though..
Same here.
Well, similar anyway ^_^
Inventing new ways to dig for mushrooms, Take 1.
‘When i said on the nose… yeah fuck it but i’m unparking this!’
‘When i said on the nose… yeah fuck it but i’m not unparking this!’
yeah i messed up!
Pilot: “Are we close enough now? I told you it was just grass and not a marijuana plant. You need serious help.”
( . )( . )
(Y)
Pilot 1: “Does this mean I failed my basic flying test?”
Pilot 2: “Yes, son. Yes it does.”
Wow, that’s a great picture of a Warthog.
I told you I could stop this Pelican on a dime. Now where’s my five bucks?
“So that’s how they grow these!”
“And they said Pelican’s didn’t grow on trees”
“Danial-san, Mr. Miyagi say catch fly with chopstick. Not crush fly with Pelican”
Few realize there were varied and definite reasons for designating the D77-TC aircraft the “Pelican.” It was originally nicknamed the “Ostrich” but there were…incidents.
“Another stunning performance by Ken Block in his #43 Pelican at the 2553 WRC Championships on the Ark”
-That was the worst Pelican-driving ever, of all time.
-Not my fault, someone put a halo in my way.
AAAACHOOOO!! … whoops….
Damn GPS malfunction!
Abort! Abort! ABORT!
“Ewww! What was that for?!” “Oh, you meant pull out with the pelican…”
Cost of Landing a Pelican on it’s nose:
Damages: $1,000,000
Court Marshall &
Dishonourable Discharge due to
professional misconduct: $40,000 PA
Winning a $5 Bet: Priceless
that’s the kind of math that makes my thinker-box hurt…
YOU’RE DOING IT WRONG!!!!
Why Bungie doesn’t let us fly Pelicans
“Flying level – Pass. 3 point turn – Pass. Parking – Fail”
—
“Told you I could ballance a Pelican on its nose”
—
“Drink Driving is bad, Drink Pelican Flying is a lot worse”
Command: “Bravo Six One Niner, we ordered you to go on point, NOT EN POINTE!!!”
“do a barrel roll!”
“try a somersault!”
Told you I could land this thing on a dime!
Pelicans aren’t good at Swan Dives
Elite: Stupid humans and their hard to control ships. We should have taken a Phantom!
The Puma slowly aproaches the grazing Pelican. Seeing its chance to strike, teh Puma pounced toward its unsuspecting victim
The first game produced by 343 Industries “Halo: Pelican Toss” didn’t go over well with the fan-base…
I? I am a monument, to all your hax…
Break dance!!!
“If Boba Fett played Halo…”
Good God I can’t believe that’s the best I could come up with.
phew, we ran outta fuel
Meh, I give it a 5.
“I TRIED TO TELL YOU THAT RAINBOW WAS NOT MADE OUT OF SKITTLES!!!!”
“That’s great, but where’s my pizza?”
Prepare to drop?
And so we see that the common chicken egg can support up to ten million times its weight when balanced on its tip.
I win science!
“Dude its not touching the ground, You didn’t do it right”
“Did that peli just spawn on its nose, co-op style?”
“Yup.”
“… Yet another reason on why it isn’t called PeliCAN’T”
“Ramirez! Now you’ve managed to park the Pelican on it’s nose, I’m gonna need you to do the same with Forward Unto Dawn”
Bungie cut the gametype “Lawn Darts” from Halo 3 after some bad results in Test.
