Best of 2024 - Teamworking🌭

Happy holidays! We got you a gift. Don’t worry, you don’t have to get anything for us. We’ve picked the very best Hot Dog articles of 2024 and made them free. We did this because we are generous, because we understand the need for small measures of joy in these insane times, and because this is the only way we advertise. This is what we do instead of paying for auto-playing pop-ups featuring moaning hot dogs. You are our moaning hot dogs. The best way to help is to pick one of the free articles below (not this article - this is just the collection) and share it. If your victim enjoys the madness on display, point them to our patreon for support, or our free archives for a massive collection of hundreds of free articles updating weekly. That’s the gift you give to us. (It’s always a lie when somebody says you don’t have to get them anything. You should know that by now.)

Punsteria

The idea behind Teamworking Day is that some artifacts are simply too cursed to tackle alone. It’s like The Drift in Pacific Rim, a reference everyone understands and values. When somebody tried to teach a faulty AI how to make grade school puns and then removed all the safety measures, it took Seanbaby and Brockway working in tandem just to spread out the psychic damage to non-lethal levels.

The Austin Powers Collectible Card Game

There were Austin Powers trading cards. That’s not surprising. Everything had a trading card in the ā€˜90s. What’s surprising is these were part of a functional CCG. Yeah, Baby! We’re not saying ā€œyeah, baby!ā€ We’re playing Yeah, Baby! Somebody gave gameplay stats to the phrase ā€œyeah, baby!ā€

Captain Al Cohol

In the 1970s, the Canadian government needed to address the problem of rampant alcoholism among its indigenous people. They knew they needed to do this sensitively, by making a comic book. That was already a bad idea, and then they created the world’s first alcoholic superhero. Then they made him white. And then they had him crash a snowmobile into a telephone pole.

Muryo Waza

There’s nothing more Hot Dog than a maniac writing a kung-fu manual. Except maybe if that Kung-fu manual is also based on unlikely animals, obscure clip-art, and clocks, clocks, clocks.

Double Red Lucky

Your life is a mess, and that’s because you’re not drinking enough Good Life Forever Happy Floor Wash and Foot Antiseptic. Only every third item in the Double Red Lucky catalog can save you.

Somehow I completely missed the Punsteria article when it first ran. What a wonderful Christmas gift discovering it today. Happy Robot Knife Punmas, everyone!

I remember these! I also remember that that deadly martial arts manual was written by the cryptozoologist who really liked birds! Or maybe I really just "remember" that fact because my brain has been so long in the wrong dimension it is connecting random facts together!

Merry Teammas! And Merry Actual Christmas! And Happy Hanukkah!

Thanks for another great year. I await every post avidly, but there’s something extra special about Teamworking days… an unexpected synergy, akin to peanut butter and jam (sorry, I’m English), Vodka and Coke, Sonny and Cher or Pants Chapley and the Multiverse. It just works. Anyway, it’s been a wild 4 and a half(!) years and we’ve survived a plague, further erosion of the industry and jugglers with dark secrets… I reckon that makes The Hotdog practically invincible, so let’s all cackle menacingly and settle in for the next half-decade. Godspeed 🫔
