Title: Funny Similes/metaphors

So my English teacher gave us this and one thing after another and now we have a simile writing contest in our class. I'm one of the participants and I wrote up a couple and need some critiquing. Tell me which ones make you laugh.

The sailor swore like a pinky promise, except more profane.

The deadline approached the procrastinators like orcs on Helms Deep.

She had said “like” about as much as you run into Zubats in caves.

She kicked the kid down the stairs like King Leonidas, but luckily for him, this was not Sparta.

Like a blind man in a black room looking for a black cat which wasn’t there, Greg searched for the remote control.

He slept like a coma patient who woke up after 8 hours.

He knew he had a flat tire the moment his car started shaking like Haiti.

Jack was frustrated, like how you get hit by a blue shell in Mario Kart and coming in 3rd.

The salary man was desperate, not like Bear Grylls drinking his own urine, but like a housewife.

He was trapped between a rock and a hard place, like Pacman between Inky and Pinky and he’s all out of big dots.

The old man’s life was slowly dwindling like a balloon behind the couch 2 weeks after the graduation party.

Or there's the Cream song from the 60's, SWLABR (pronounced "Swuh-lah-bruh"):

She Was Like A Bearded Rainbow

He were falling, the world closing in fast.
Like a nightmare, only he couldnt wake up.


In the thin silk dress and ligerie, she were like a opium flower.
Soft to the touch, sweet addictive poison underneath.

Reposting my list with updated similes, there are some repeats because I added them in the middle of my list and don't wanna go through and pick out the ones I've already posted.

asterisks are ones I'm going to submit.

Dude... you're terrible.

and the Haiti one is probably going to earn you a quick kick in the pants from a hell of a lot of people.


Fohfoh stared at Kyubix shaking his head sadly. His face showed one of those expressions, the ones where a father catches a child smoking for the first time, but unable to comprehend how the child could light the wrong end and still find a way to finish the cigarette.

And fuck you... I'm tired.
And...

It was a grimace. Not the type of grimace you see when someone is in pain, but the type as if someone had just experienced explosive diarrhea and smelled the state the bathroom was now in.

That's how I feel about your similes.

Though... it was fun. Not fun in the sense of a good time, but fun in the sense that you wake up after a night of booze, drugs and unprotected sex at a house party to find yourself in a pile of naked men.

Also....

It was epic. Not in a good way. It was epic in a sense that was similar to Mike Tyson trying to type an autobiography with severe brain damage and wearing a pair of boxing gloves.

EDIT: Read your updated list. Dude, you're a fucking moron if you're going to submit even half of those asterisked similes. Either they're absolutely retarded, or high offensive. We're talking a school, not a forum of 4chan-ers. (And even then, they'd probably think you're trolling)

I had a little fun.

Seriously though, most of those similes were either horribly constructed gamer/otaku references or poorly worded pop culture references.
