[http://www.yesbutnobutyes.com/archives/2007/03/top\_15\_unintent.html](http://www.yesbutnobutyes.com/archives/2007/03/top_15_unintent.html) These things are wonderful. All of them. I’ve seen most of them before from obsessively poring over the huge archives at [Superdickery](http://www.superdickery.com/) (because Superman’s kind of a dick) but not all of them. Look at these to get a taste for the humor involved and then go to Superdickery for the main course. No, Superdickery won’t infect your computer. Not anymore. It got vandalized and a piece of malware was put on it once, a long time ago, but that was fixed a long time ago. People’s memories long outlive the actual period of danger. ---

There’s also [this one](http://www.lileks.com/institute/funny/batchone/2.html) , from [Lileks.com](http://Lileks.com). He’s got a few more up, too. ---

1.) I’ve seen “Quiet…or Papa Spank” in other pop culture items from the 1940s. It ain’t just Batman saying this – I suspect it was a widespread catchphrase (although I have no idea from what), and it’s not just an isolated incident of Batman being patronizing – he’s just trying to be cool. 2.) This collection omits my favorite Wonder Woman panel – one showing off her manu powers, which include “Threading a Needle under Water” and “Running up a Sheet of Glass”. You never find Superman or J’onn J’onzz or Monel bragging about their ability to “thread a needle underwater”. Not even Aquaman or Prince Namor. And get that mind out of the gutter. ---

Yeah, “Quiet or Papa Spank” is _legendary_. And that’s Catwoman he’s spanking there. Yum. But there has been nothing as howl-inducing as #15, Joker’s Boner. To get the full effect, [check this out.](http://www.dialbforblog.com/archives/136/) And then go to [What WERE They Thinking?](http://typolad.livejournal.com/) A search through the archives will keep you in stitches for days. ---

I’ve seen most of these before, but ‘I command you to…’ _wank!_ and ‘Robin, what have I done?’ will never, ever, EVER get old. ---
