Silhouette Masterpiece Theatre
In his Silhouette Masterpiece Theatre Wilhelm Staehle places silhouettes over Victorian paintings, and adds a subversive caption. Two of my favorites below.
German Humor
Some might regard the phrase "German sense of humor" as an oxymoron. Nevertheless, the Caricatura Museum, recently opened in Frankfurt, is dedicated to exploring exactly that subject. According to the Telegraph:Visitors are greeted at its entrance by a large sculpture of a moose wearing a hat and overcoat - a sight which Germans apparently find amusing. They are also fond of jokes which might not have much appeal beyond their borders. In one, a coast guard receives a distress call from a ship at sea: "Help, help, we are sinking." The coast guard replies: "Dass ist very interesting. Vot exactly are you sinking?"
It's first event: a Mohammed lookalike competition.
Follies of the Mad Men #35
Yes, in the 1950's every husband and father had to be emasculated in every possible way. Imagine trying to conduct some kind of Tennessee Williams-inspired affair with your local Liz Taylor of the suburbs while wearing these. The laughter would be heard from one end of the motel to the other!

Cornman
When every legitimate superhero property has finally been brought to the screen, perhaps we'll see a remake of CORNMAN.
