I still don’t really understand the Betty White Internet Phenomenon of 2010. She has had a long and successful career, yes, and many people who are still alive (although in hospice) carry fond memories of her work on Golden Girls, sure, but Betty White herself is over 1,000 years old. And her most recent work was on a daytime soap opera and a recurring character on Boston Legal. I mean, come on. I don’t begrudge her any of this late career (and let’s be honest, late life. I’m just saying, she is actually an ELDERLY woman at this point) success. Please, Betty White, take all the success! Enjoy it, please! But the Facebook petitions and General Internet Support seems, I don’t know, sarcastic? I just don’t understand the motivation, and I do not believe that it is just because Betty White is the best. Let’s put it this way, the majority of people who make Facebook petitions were born AFTER Betty White’s career had peaked (unless it’s peaking now?), so, the whole thing is at least laced with some irony. Speaking of laced with irony (and cow faces, and pig butts), here is a picture of Betty White eating a hot dog (via HuffingtonPost). Caption it, why don’t you?! But, please don’t be gross.
Leave your caption in the comments. The winner will receive special mention in this week’s Monsters’ Ball. Hot dog! (Said in the tones of a 1940s newspaper barker.)

“What do you mean this isn’t a real hot dog? What was that? Dog chew toy? I’m sorry, let me get my ear-trumpet”
“She’ll see… I’m going to beat Blanche at her own game if it’s the last thing I do.”
and it might be. SMALLER BITES MS. WHITE! — DON’T TRY AND TAKE THE WHOLE THING!
*gross*
“Betty, watching you eat a hot dog up here was like watching Henry Fonda pick blueberries.”
This doesn’t have enough upvotes. Are people missing the reference??
I know it’s a reference, and to something that I’ve seen, but I just can’t quite grasp it. Work, brain!
My brain is telling me to say that I would love to watch Henry Fonda pick blueberries, but beyond that it’s dark.
yeah can you fill us in?
TWSS
I assume it has something to do with Lake Placid?

Aw come on guys, it’s that line from Silence of the Lambs, where Buffalo Bill aka Jame Gum (no relation to video gum) is putting on lipstick and looking at himself in the mirror right before he does the tuck in front of the mirror. As if you don’t know what fantasy you role play with yourselves every day. COME ON!!!!!!!
I think we understood the reference, but could you explain where the joke is?
How about instead you explain where YOUR FACE is?

Yikes, is that how you talk to your hot dogs?
Do you kiss your hot dog with that mouth?
This wins
Steve, don’t interrupt. (Or else it gets the downvote again.)
Now, that’s a joke.

Hot Dogs: Full of Enough Preservatives to Keep Betty White Alive for Another 100 Years
I find this in poor taste, since I’m fairly certain this is how Estelle Getty died.
No no, it wasn’t a footlong, you misheard. She was choked to death by a twelve-inch pianist.
I just find this in poor taste, because hot dogs are gross.
“Earl, i though you said this was my shoehorn? This doesn’t taste like my shoehorn”
This does not have enough upvotes.

BAM! Roasted.
Not a caption, but that shirt is… dangerously low cut.
There was even another button to that shirt! Betty White, what are you doing?
It’s like an oblique shout-out to Joey “Chest-Nut”
♪thank you for bringing your friends♪
Terry, the nurse who dresses her, is uncomfortable as he buttons Ms. White’s blouse. His hands shake. She’s been getting bolder with each day.
“Those haven’t been touched in years” she says softly, leaning her chest into his hand.
“There, Ms. White, all done” he smiles. He backs away from her awkwardly and turns toward the door.
“Oh, Terry?” she calls.
“Yes, Ms. White?” he looks back to find the pink silk shirt pulled recklessly apart exposing Betty’s glistening, milk-white breasts.
“It seems I’ve come undone again.”
Betty White becomes ecstatic as a wiener slides down her throat.
You’re starting to make ME ecstatic with that caption, Ron Jenkins!

How about instead I plagiarize YOUR FACE?!

Betty White, like many people, enjoyed a good hot dog now and then. But little did she know that Angela Lansbury had imported the ketchup from a little town known as Cabot Cove. Soon, Angela Lansbury knew, it would be Jessica Fletcher’s day in the sun.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again Gabe. You are wrong about this Betty White thing.
And it makes me a little nervous. Is this whole website a lie? Is y(our) love of Topher Grace sarcastic? Are you actually looking for the BEST Movie of All Time? Stop screwing with us dude. Tone can be difficult to decipher over the internet.
I realize your head is still in a yogurt cup and your mind is in the other room with your child, but … I’ve lost my train of thought. Hey, a hot dog!
I’m with you, Betty is awesome. it seems to me someone is J-e-a-l-o-u-s that they are not the most adorable senior citizen in the family…
..I know, I know, I used that already earlier today . I’m hoping on the Winwoodmobile. Downvote away!
I meant “hopping”.(like it matters)
I was literally just trying to come up with something offensive or unfunny that Steve Winwood has said when my eyes took in the gem directly below – apparently you are both hit or miss, but very much on today.
Here is my second submission to this fun contest:
And if you threw a partaaayyyy
And invited everyone you knew-ooo-oooo
You would see
the biggest hot dog would be from me
and the card attached would say
“I attached a card to your hot dog”
I liked yours Steve Winwood! Happy 420 Steve Winwood.
This is actually the first thing I’ve read in this thread that made me actually lol. Well done, Herr Winwood.
This is strange uncharted territory with this positive reaction on display. Normally people just don’t like me.
You were always waiting, for this moment to arrrrriiivvveeee…..
steve wiiinnnwooooodd flllllyyyyyyy…..
into the light of the dark black night!
dont worry, theres always a lost recap for you to comment on tomorrow!
Steve Winwood. No Longer Living in the Shadow of Don Henley.
“Thank you for being delicious”
I think the Betty White Internet Phenomenon of 2010 is a reaction of the internet to the 2009 Year of Celebrity Deaths. It’s a way of the people rallying around those personalities who have affected us the most before they go away and all we’re left with is a half-assed Oscars montage.
Oh and for my caption “Betty White decided to take what should could and grab this internet fame by the buns.”
Get it?
I agree, and I think Dennis Hopper is now falling into this same category. There have been a bunch of Hopper tributes floating around lately.
Yeah but he has terminal cancer. Betty White is apparently able-bodied enough to snarf a footlong.
Exactly! We lost TWO Golden Girls last year! Yes, it’s true, we never fail to reference them, but when do we HONOR them?
Full disclosure, I watch Golden Girls every day.
Oh that’s right. So are the Golden Girls dying in order of coolness like the beatles are?
Are you saying Ringo goes last?
Topher Grace also made an appearance at the event, arriving in the same car as Casey Affleck and the lead singer of Hinder.
“This reminds me alot of my days as a charlie chaplin groupie”
Can we all take a step back and just note, despite her talents and deserved success, that these photos are both TERRIFYING?
“Back in Saint Olaf, we had a hot dog-eating contest every year at the Flufenfuler Festival. One year, Olga Norgendorger…”
“Does this story have a point, Rose?”
” I’m going to be frank with you here.”
But what is the hot dog thinking?
The real question is WHEN is the hot dog thinking.
I like to pretend the hot dog is Topher Grace
Ew, dude!
“Hot dog!” (Said in the tones of a 1940s newspaper barker.)
Betty White is estatic that her dental adhesive finally held. “You can Fixodent and forget it!”
Damn, ECSTATIC!!! This is why I lost my 6th grade spelling bee.
Old people as a group and a generalization I can joke with, specific old people I can’t. Whatever the motivations behind the Betty White love, I think it’s almost entirely in good fun and support for her. ANYWAY, No Evil Eye, Kenahora Betty White!

I’m still big, it’s the hot dogs that got small.

It’s not a lemonparty without Betty White eating a hot dog!

Awesome
Just after this photo was taken, Betty White let mayonnaise dribble down her chin and then posed with Jay Leno – completing her “You Wouldn’t Sarcastically Caption or Photoshop Penises On a Sweet Old Lady Like Me, Now Would You? What Would Your Mother Have to Say About That?” Tour.
This isn’t a hot dog, it’s a solar panel for a caption fail.
Seems like they don’t make ‘em like they used to….
Betty White: nomnomnom.
The next time you are out enjoying a tour of the famed CityWalk, make sure to stop and take two pictures of the old famous lady eating a hot dog. You’ll be glad you did.
She’s thinking “What is up with that whole ‘What’s Up With Topher Grace?’ thing? It’s like they picked a marginal celebrity ironically and just decided to dedicate a whole lot of support to them that isn’t entirely genuine. Anyway, back to felating this hot dog”
Best Comment
I think we have a winner here
I love you Gabe, but it makes sense that a young man on the move would have no appreciation of Miss Betty. She was a staple on the Mary Tyler Moore show and a variety of game shows in the seventies. Ms. Thang experienced a comeback with her appearance in the fabulous (?) horror movie Lake Placid and forever solidified her hipness as an apple-pie faced cute grandma with a comedic filthy mouth. Some kids might want her on SNL because of her age, but her real fans are hoping she can pull off her sassy comedy in real time. Trust me, if those SNL writers know what to do they will make her skits insanely off color and truly wrong and Betty will stand up to the test. All hail Betty. All hot dogs bow before your wicked tongue!
Betty White’s gotta eat a hotdog at least once DAMN?
Betty White at the premier of her new reality T.V. show: “What will children of the Depression eat for a nickel?”
Premiers Sundays at 4 pm, right after “How much tinfoil has my Grandmother saved all these years.”
For realsies, though, I kind of love old people and their thriftiness.
Wiener?!?!?…Oh, my! He said wiener, tee-hee-hee!
she was posing for her new betty white action figure with “hog dog eating action arm.”
Don’t get me wrong, this is a beautiful hot dog, but i gotta masturbate at least once DAMN!
