Boring Prequels Challenge
Submitted by Pop Culture Nerd on November 19, 2010 – 9:16 pm8 Comments
Against my better judgment, I sometimes spend time on Twitter when I should be doing something else. But it can be fun and every once in a while, someone posts a funny game that I have to participate in.
On Friday, the trending topic was boring prequels. People would post titles of prequels so boring, there’s good reason they were never written or made.
A few I came up with:
11 P.M. Cowboy
One Being Delayed at Chicago’s O’Hare on the Way to the Cuckoo’s Nest
Dr. Yes
Miss Daisy Can Still Drive Herself
The Girl Whose Mama Wouldn’t Let Her Get a Tattoo But Maybe Pierced Ears
Wow, Those Lambs Sure Are Loud
Think you can come up with even more boring titles? Leave ‘em in the comments! (They can be prequels to books or movies.)

Love your list, Elyse. All I can come up with is:
Mr. Kane’s Secrets of Sledding
Thanks.
Haha! I was sleepy when I saw this so it took me a while to figure it out. My first thought was, “Is this the prequel to Cool Runnings?”
The Guy Who Rows Us Across the River Kwai
Some Like it Lukewarm
Strangers on a Platform
A Hard Day’s Evening
11 Mildly Cheesed Off Boys
The African Princess
Apocalypse One of These Days
The Undergraduate
Humming in the Rain
It Happened One Evening
Too funny! Another great list, Elizabeth. Especially that Apocalypse Now prequel.
Hilarious. My favorite is Cheesed-Off Boys. Love that expression and how they’re only mildly so. I also did a take on Apocalypse Now. My version—Apocalypse: Coming in Ten Years.
The Monkey’s Windbreaker
Keeping Tabs on The Seraphim
Serenade Village
Tandem Parachute Jump
Mildly Cursed Stream
Late Afternoon Shuttle
Powder Blue Bump
L.A. Christening
The Original Sleuth
The Neglected Lad
Moving Toward Twilight
The Somewhat Curious Onlooker
The Initial Behavior Code
I hope someone improves upon these…
Haha! It took me a second to figure out these, too! I got the first one right away but the next few made me think, “What the deuce is she referring to?” I’m so glad he doesn’t consult you on titles.
Ha! I didn’t see your “Miss Daisy Can Still Drive Herself.” That’s hilarious. Hmmm, let’s see:
A Pretty Brain Cell
TameKittens
Smitten, Sorta
Riding the Break at Ridgemont Elementary School
Joe Vs. The Geyser
