Funny But No: Roofing


Yes, that's actually what the Shoebox team has been calling these rejects for the (many) years our mom has worked there. "Funny, but no" is a legend around Hallmark. So we thought we'd add some of these "rejects" into the 'Toon Tuesday rotation. 

 *** 


EDIT: We seem to be stumping everyone on this one (oops!) soooo....

HIT IT, Faraday!




*deep breath*
Theeeeeeeeere's NO business like SHOW business
Like NO business I knooooooooooowwwwwwwwww...

*deep breath* 
Everything about it it APPEEEEEEEEEALL----mmmmph!


*claps paw over Faraday's mouth*

We sincerely apologize for the assault to your senses.

Toon Tuesdays feature animal (and sometimes human) humor created by the peeps over at Shoebox Greetings (a tiny little division of Hallmark) - where our mom works, too!

  4. I got the song reference but what does it have to do with roofers? I guess I am of the wrong generation....

  5. Sorry guys! And now you know why THIS particular one was a funny...but NO. The guy who wrote this has an *extremely* dry sense of humor and the point to his joke was,

    "hey! whaddaya mean there's no business like show business? What about my Uncle Bob? He never gets any respect. How about shining a spotlight on someone other than entertainers for a change, willya?!?"

    This is TOTALLY cracking us up, and we can't WAIT to tell Bill his joke totally BOMBED. *snicker*

  12. Thanks for the hint! We needed it!

    Oddly enough, your website is being banned from my work computer as a "music" site and I can only access it from my home laptop. Do you think they heard Faraday?

  13. MOL! The head peep saw this on her phone earlier and has been humming the song ever since! It's a real earworm.

  16. That card gets a reject from us as well, but we thought the singing was quite nice. XO, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

  17. Like most people I got the song but then just kinda got confused - perhaps if Uncle Bob is feeling dejected we should hold a wip-round. OOOO here's an idea we could do a sponsored sing to raise some funds. Everybody after three....one...two...
