You've Heard Of Elf On A Shelf.......

Now get ready for:

 

Actually, I had never heard of Elf on a Shelf until last week.

 

Me neither.

 

It's a stupid thing in reality and an awful template for memes. But here I am.

 

Eyes on the pies? Bunions on the onions? Do I win £5?

 

Nor me. Still not sure what is is

 

It's an elf, upon a shelf.

 

Spoiler

Helmet on a pelmet

 

Helmet on the Pelmet, Livermore on the Sycamore. I see what's going on...

 

Ah, it's obvious now you've explained it like that.

 

Fink you need your elf checked m8.

 

Have you tried to get an appointment with the National Elf Service recently?

 

I could have done Mogi on a doggy or Gino on a Beano, but I really can’t be bothered with this TikTok generation … stuff.

 

I had hoped some people would get into the spirit of making obscure memes whilst the majority would fume at the inanity. I had not anticipated the blank indifference that this has inspired though. I need to have a ponder upon an anaconda.

 

But because winners don't quit......

 

It's a Yank tradition. In this case, "tradition" means "invented in 2005".

Absolutely no reason anyone in the UK should have heard of it, really.

 

I'm sure it's a UK thing too, but possibly only amongst parents of kids under 10 years old, ie. Imported from US in about 2013.

 

But Bunion on an Onion has its roots in Tudor festive traditions.

 

Didn't need a spoiler. Got it in 1 second.

 

No idea who that is but had to work back from Sycamore and through tenuous rhyming, guess it's Livermore?

 

Clown wearing gown?

 

Hat on a tw*t?

 

Spot on.

 

I’m guessing it’s Parlaci on a Liberace.

Oh. This is sad. Why am I doing this?

 

Count me amongst the fuming majority…. though it’s hard to resist a puzzle. Put a muzzle on your puzzle.

 

I must confess I thought it was Gino on a piano.
