Announcing the Top 11 Inappropriate Elves

Posted by on December 22, 2011 23 Comments

I went back and forth with Jason of Passionfruit Ads all morning and there was NO way we could settle on ten. It was nearly impossible to narrow it down to eleven, and getting rid of just one more was out of the question.

So, top ELEVEN it is!

The top 3, voted in by all of you are:

1. Making Ends Meet Elf from Babbling Dreamer (1088 votes)

2. Dobbie Writes His Name In The Snow Elf from The Bearded Iris (1053 votes)

3. Step One: Cut A Hole In A Box Elf by Adventure Mama (1001 votes)

And now for the ones chosen by Jason and me:

4. He’s Watching You Elf by The Lame Sauce  

5. Wiggle x5 from The Walker Fab Five

6. Dexter Elf by Dirty Diaper Laundry

7. Birth Control Flushing Elf by Jessica Marchetti

8. Are You My Daddy Elf by Melissa Bulfone Photography

9. Kidney Theft Elf by Little Blue Boo

10. Flasher Elf by The Nut House

11. Working Elf by Blog Treat

This was SO SO SO SO SO HARD!! You all were hilarious. I loved every single one. I’m really glad I don’t have any say in choosing the winner. That will be the tough job of our amazing judges.  You can read more about all of them and see the rest of all the great entries in the Inappropriate Elf official contest entry post. 

The winner will be announced on Saturday, Christmas Eve!

Thank you to everyone who participated and shared this with their friends. This has been a total blast to be a part of.

Inappropriate Elves Are Winning

Posted by on December 20, 2011 4 Comments

Parents with a sense of humor have united the last couple weeks in a way that brings a tear to my eye. We are FUNNY. We don’t take this shit too seriously. We are not afraid to pose elves INAPPROPRIATELY! We will not let the guilt of not moving our elves every day into whimsical, time-sucking, mess-making poses paralyze our spirit.

We are the Inappropriate Elf movement, the 99% of parenthood, if you will.

We have come together to make the holidays HILARIOUS.

Damn, I am proud to be a part of this, and already plotting how to make next year even more epic. So buy those elves on clearance, bitches, because it is ON in 2012.

Voting ends tonight at 11:59 pm CST. If you haven’t yet, go here and click “like” to vote for your favorite. After that, the top 3 automatically make it into the top 10. Then I’ll choose the other 7 and send the top 10 onto our KICK ASS panel of judges.

The Bloggess- Uhm, yes, you are not hallucinating. It’s not too late to come up with entries that incorporate dead animals and giant metal chickens!

The Redneck Mommy- Because this contest is officially the coolest thing to ever happen to me in the blogging world, and not only did The Bloggess say yes, but so did The Redneck Mommy… I. Die.

How To Be A Dad- You know, crazy famous, hilarious dads? You and 71,800 something others may be familiar with them on the Twitter.

The Next Martha- Twitter superstar, Halloween goddess, Target Champ, one of the funniest people I’ve ever built something with.

Harpers Happenings- One of my internet besties, Mandy, who also happens to be so funny she makes me pee my pants. She also produces THE. CUTEST. spawn. I’ve urged her to contact Mattel about licensing a Harper doll.CHAPSTICK! (N0 really, you have to watch that.)

Parenting- Illustrated With Crappy Pictures- She draws pictures of my life. I think she watches me. I forgive her because she is a comedic genius.

Rachel Devine- Representing the professional photography aspect here. She’s in this because 1. I love her, and am inspired by her and 2. she has an eye for amazing pictures. And this IS a photo contest, so…

Jason Lynes- Passionfruit Ads founder with a kick-ass sense of humor and the passion to change how you sell and manage ads on your blog. Also a graphic design super star.

The Baby Guy NYC- I just got Jamie’s Christmas Card. He is TOTALLY up for this challenge. I’m just going to leave it at that.

The winner will get an iPad 2!

But even if you don’t win, even if you didn’t enter, you can still take a little piece of Inappropriate Elf with you, courtesy of HaHas for HooHas.

That’s a Baby Rabies EXCLUSIVE, FREE, downloadable, printable card!

And if you’d like to send it via email, check out the e-card here, also free.

Huge thanks to HaHas for HooHas for their support and to all of you who have shared your hilarity with us, or shared this contest with others.
