Congrats to Our Laugh and Win Contest Winners!
Posted by Russ Looney
Okay, we admit it–the rules of our Laugh and Win Contest may have been a little more challenging than we intended. Not only is coming up with a decent joke relatively tough, but finding a way to connect a Jedi, a dinosaur, and a teacher within a joke can be downright hard. We promise to make it easier next time!
That being said, we still got some fantastic entries from a handful of dedicated gamers/comedians. Our grand winner was Matt D., who regaled us with not one, but two well thought-out (and hilarious) jokes. For his efforts, Matt won a free game from the GameAgent store, as well as a coupon for half off his next purchase at GameAgent.com. Our other winners were Kiffen S., David J. F., Ed P., and Adam B., all of whom received a coupon for half off their next purchases. Thanks to everyone that participated!
Hit the jump to see the winning entries!
Winner – Matt D. (1)
After defeating a Sith master and his apprentice, a master Jedi and his Padewan then ran into trouble. “These Sith both had squires to tend to their dinosaur mounts,” explained Jedi Master Goran. “We must find them.”
After a long fruitless search, they were about to give up when their eye was caught by a strange gestalt… creature hosting the evening news on channel 10. “Welcome to Hyper Ten Action News! We are your host, the collective known as ‘Squaw’. Tonight’s top story..”
“That’s who we’re looking for,” the Jedi exclaimed.
“But Master, how can you be sure?”
“Young Padewan, do you not remember the words of your math teacher, the great Jedi Master Pytha Gora? ‘The sum of the squires of both Siths equals the Squaw of the Hyper Ten News’.

Leia was on another diplomatic mission, and as usual, things had not gone according to plan. In this case, a N’gera diplomat had picked a sensitive moment to go into labor. Sensing an opportunity for a diplomatic breakthrough, Leia began guiding the woman through the birth process. But the woman resisted.
“This won’t work!” gasped the woman. “The father is a Thormanin!”
Leia gasped. How could a human-sized woman be carrying the offspring of a creature resembling a 18-foot dinosaur? Eying the woman’s belly, Leia began mentally reviewing formulas for volume and surface area she’d learned from her math teacher, all those years ago. But they only confirmed the futility of the task. It was impossible. Unless.. There WAS one person in the galaxy with the skill to deliver this baby, a doctor of mystical ability, but noone had seen him for 20 years. “Help me, OB GYN Kenobi,” Leia cried aloud. “You’re my only hope!”
Runner-up – Kiffen S.
Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker were dueling when Vader said, “I know what you are getting for your birthday!”
“That’s not true, that’s IMPOSSIBLE!!!” Luke cried in return.
“No, Luke – I felt your presents!”
Runner-up – John D. F.
A Jedi, a dinosaur, and a school teacher walked into a bar, the Gamer ducked.
Runner-up – Adam B.
Before the latest exam a teacher offered extra credit to those who could come up with a joke about what the last chapter was about.
“I got one” said Timmy “What do you call a Jedi Dinosaur?”… “Yodasaurus Rex”
The teacher looked at him and asked “Timmy what does that have to do with Geometry?”
“Easy, if you laughed at that joke you’re a square”
