Today Emily Heller cemented her place in our list of the 30 female comedians under 35. Of course we never had a doubt that Heller deserved the recognition — as we wrote a week ago, the comedian is “disarmingly self-deprecating and hilariously perceptive,” a winning combination — but with the discovery of “Suck My Dick, New Yorker Caption Contest,” we stand firm in our convictions.
What is “Suck My Dick, New Yorker Caption Contest,” you ask? “Suck My Dick, New Yorker Caption Contest” (yeah we love typing that out and will continue to do so as long as we can) is Heller’s Tumblr with her brother Nate that is based on the presumption that “every week, [New Yorker captions] would be way funnier if they just talked about sucking dick.” Is it silly? Absolutely. Are the Heller siblings right? Surprisingly (…that is if you’re an adult with an evolved sense of humor, which we are not, so we weren’t surprised), yes. All the erudite puns in the world can’t beat a good ol’ fashioned dick joke.
