Celebrating all the funny names (by ranking them in tiers)

I thought the episode as a whole was great, and when it got to ONE of the names in particular I laughed so much in my kitchen that I was crying and had to turn off my stove. And there were a few like that, so I want to celebrate all the ones that got me with my own personal ranked list. Also I want to avoid doing my work for a day.

So I ranked the names. Thank you to /u/kittyabbygirl for writing these out, and thanks to my job for being remote work, where no one can stop me from doing this.

= = =

First tier, aka the "quite possibly the most I've ever laughed at any proposed new year name ever"

  • Thirteen Dead End Drive: who fun it? (this stands alone for me and it's kind of the basis for making this whole list)

= = =

Second tier, aka "Has the magical this is it feeling to it"

  • Twenty Funny Drive: Boys Back On The Menu/Boys Are Back In Sound (it's the subtitles that do it)

  • Funny Come Alive: three brothers/the joke is in you/a new genesis (there was some MAGICAL momentum going from Twenty Come Alive -> Buddy Come Alive -> Honey Come Alive to Funny Come Alive)
