Philadelphia Billboard Mocking Jerry "Zeke Who"

[OmerV]

Is this supposed to be funny?

I thought it was.

 

[OmerV]

Only Eagle fans understand this humor I’m guessing

If the roles were reversed I have no doubt Cowboy fans would laugh at it. It's harmless fun to me.

 

[OmerV]

Knock knock jokes. How 50's.

time to graduate to "your mama" jokes.

The funniest thing in this thread is @ESisback feeling the need to exclaim indifference.

I’m NOT indifferent! Never said I was! I think it’s HILARIOUS! Plus, I’m acknowledging it, which is the opposite of indifference. I think the fanbase as a whole is indifferent. Can we agree that the Eagles are inferior, and that they envy and resent the Cowboys?

I usually have a comment for something exceedingly dumb or wrong or pathetic or funny, which I THOUGHT this board was for...

Nothing personal. I really should've worded it better. Bottom line I appreciate irony.

Harmless humor. Nothing to get your panties riled up in.

Sports is about teasing opponents. It's part of the fun.

EXACTLY. And it's funny that so many Cowboy fans are taking this so seriously. What's funnier still is that fans are talking about how this billboard was just a childish way to take a stab at the Cowboys, and the more they talk about that the more it proves that it worked.

It's harmless fun folks. Lighten up.

Dallas fans can't stand the fact that the Cowboys aren't even as relevant in Dallas as the Eagles are in Philadelphia. Hell, the Cowboys are more relevant in CALIFORNIA and San Antonio than the poophole that is the DFW metro area!!

The way you lot flap about the Cowboys, it’s fair to say the Cowboys are more relevant in Philadelphia than your Eagles...

As for the sign, I really don’t see the point of it... If we were half a dozen games into the season and Zeke was still not here, then it might be relevant... but half way through preseason??
This is taking little man syndrome to another level.

Philly won a Superbowl a couple years ago and they still have the Cowboys on their brains 24/7.

It's sad really how much of a little brother complex that entire town has.

Of course I guess it happens when the most famous athlete from your town is make believe.

The jokes on them:

Zeke against Philly:

4-0 and total yards of 187,192,141,148

This may become a chant after a big play "Zeke WHOOOOOO" - it should, it would be awesome!

 

[OmerV]

it's dave, man. dave's not here.

Kilroy was though

I live in the Philly area. I swear the Philly fans care about the Cowboys more than the Eagles. Everything is focused on beating Dallas.

I don't know why anyone would get riled up over it. I get that they are attempting to zing Cowboy fans but...they made a knock-knock joke. If I were 7 or 8, maybe I would see humor in it, but it still wouldn't be a "zing" at any age.

You're doing it wrong, Philly.

 

[Jumbo075]

They'll find out "Zeke Who?" soon enough. October 20th to be exact.

 

[CowboyGil]

My 9 year old makes up better jokes. I'll give them a blue star for their effort.

No probs! I love irony too, and I find the irony of a team that most of the “experts” are picking to win the NFCE, a team that won a Super Bowl just two years ago, has a fanbase so obsessed with another team that they blow valuable time and resources decrying said rival. I find the majority of the Eagles’ fanbase comically pathetic, and only mention them knowing a handful frequent our board making snarky comments.

Yep, I lived there as well, this is true.
They hate the Cowboys far more than Cowboys fans hate the Eagles.

By midseason, this might read:

Knock-knock......

Who's there?

Carson......

Carson who?

Carson Wentz.....

Carson Wentz who?

You know, your QB.....

Oh, Matt Cassel!

You know, your

I’m sorry you have to live in such a craphole place. City of brotherly hate.

What part of philly? You are also probably the type to think NYC Manhattan is a shythole, which is also incorrect.

Philly/NYC you can walk to work faster than you have to DRIVE to get anywhere in DFW (or California, in all fairness). Terrible. Mass transit sucks west of the Northeast as well. Long distance driving, especially just COMMUTING TO WORK, is absolutely the worst.

University City.

No, I like Manhattan.

Philly smelled bad, dirty, and horrible drivers. Downtown Dallas has same issues but I guess since I grew up in Philly I don’t care too much for the area.
