Horrifyingly Funny



Games after dinner on Saturday was a lot of fun - and wit. Questions were asked, and answers were supposed to be either a Yes or a No. But so much more were being spoken. Unfortunately for the dark side, it did not triumph but was resoundingly ripped apart by the Goddess of Laughter and Fun.

The Invisible Man

SM: Is it a male?
The Others: Yes.
SM: Is it a movie character?
The Others: Yes.
SM: Does he have a girlfriend?
The Others: Er. No.
JU: But he is horny.
JW: That just about describes all guys.

Xiao Qian

JU: Is she female?
The Others: Yes.
JU: Is it horror or horrible?
The Others: Err. Not quite. Horror-Romance.
SM: This is a BIG clue.
JU: Is it King Kong?
JW: It's a FEMALE, remember?
LAUGHS.
CT: But King Kong doesn't carry any balls, right.
LAUGHS.

After surrendering...
JU: WHAT IS THIS??

Chucky

[Background: I came up with this but it was used by SM instead coz for this round we decided to go anti-clockwise and SM had to guess mine, which I had just checked with her. Damn Damn Damn. J couldn't guess it, which meant that's a GOOD one from me!]

After numerous questions and J still couldn't guess it, Death gave what he thought was an obvious hint.

JU: He procreates.
JW: What?

Harry Potter is NOT Hotter Horror
It is bad enough that I have a poor knowledge of horror movies and characters. And one would have thought that it's a good thing the person next to you is also bad at this. Wrong.

Apparently, the most horrible and horrifying characters SM only knew existed, or could ever recall, are those from the wizardry world who plot against the unhorrible boy called Harry Potter. Now, while I have a pretty superficial knowledge of Harry Potter - and I know the story does get very dark - I hardly think that Harry Potter is the stuff of horror genre. [Ok, though the first character I gave to JU was Casper, which is not horrifying in any way, at least it is still a GHOST, albeit a friendly one!]

So I failed to guess Snape for the first time. Then Voldemot was mentioned somewhere during the game. These two facts would have meant that Harry Potter should be thrown out of the window. But no. The third one, from SM, was - good lord - LORD VOLDEMOT.

Me: What? Harry Potter again?!
SM: Ayyah, what do you expect? I only know Harry Potter what..
Me: [transmitting shadowy punches to SM through the air]
