Beware the Ikes of March.
You ignored that last guy a year ago, and now he's back on Hulu and taking Tina Fey down with him.
This time next year I'll have a son, and if his name is Ike it'll be on all of your heads.

    Someone not understanding the ikes of March is way funnier than any March Ike could be.

    it didn't make sense nine years ago, it doesn't make any more sense to me now.

    One of our security guards at work calls me Ike because some crazy homeless woman accused me of assaulting her.

    Also how do you not get it?

    I'm sure all of you recall the legendary Ikes we had back in 2012. Let's try to top that one shall we.

    Don't worry. I starting bewaring months ago to deal with a Woozle infestation. I have plenty to spare for this Ike situation.

    Oh no I have been bewaring the television show Psych this whole time.

    Now I'm up to my ears in Ikes.

    I am in Japan, and in Japanese 'ike' means pond so this is very good advice

  • ouzaruouzaru RIESLING OCEANRegistered User regular
    People always forget to beware the Mikes of Yarch, too.

    Sounds like an early 90's text parsing adventure game.

    It's an ides of march (a day that corresponds to 15 March) pun

    In William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, Caesar is warned by the soothsayer to "beware the Ides of March.", upon which he is famously assassinated.

    The joke here lies within a march 14th thread title of BEWARE....
    that leads to IKES, and pictures of famous Ikes,
    when people expect "Ides of march"
    This simple misdirection of expectations is a characteristic of a simple joke.

    Comedy is always subjective, whether people find something funny relies on their assumptions, their understanding, their familiarity with certain references. It's quite understandable to have a joke miss, and is no matter of shame for the entertainer or the audience.

    I hope that was helpful.
    At the end of the day, this is a neat thread to discuss our favorite Ikes!

    Virgil is just trying to distract your attention away from the Ikes, the true threats. Don't listen to him.

    Technically in a leap year the Ikes begin a day early, so it may already be too late

    Thank you Virgil.

    I had literally never heard of the term ides of march until today in a google search, so i was of course never going to get this joke.
