Ever have a bad autocorrect moment?

You meant to type, “Hey that felt a little mean” and autocorrect changes it to “You stupid cow, you ruined my life.” Happens to all of us.

Hopefully we catch most of them before we hit send, but with the busyness and rush of life a lot of them escape our attention before it’s too late.

But the Internet remembers… and so we decided to have some fun with that this week.

Knowing full well that the FAMILY vibe we try play @AFrikkinHashtag games with was going to completely be under threat… but also trusting that once we got past all of that, you would all come up with some really amazing offerings… and once again we were right and you totally dominated.

This week saw Warren Baker aka @SideOfHashTags joining us for his first co-host with me and he was immediately a hit [bonus bucket of cheerful banter for you, sir] completely getting into the spirit of the CLEVER and WITTY and MISDIRECTIONAL and RANDOM [but related] that we seek as a standard of the best Hashtags every week.

Warren Baker

@SideOFHashTags

Warren [in his own words] is an accomplished eccentric hovering in NC with his lovely wife, an angry cat, and a glorious dog . He’s written over 200 music parodies, and is waiting on his big break, probably a fibula or humerus. Has been known to channel Ogden Nash. Hair is not actual size.

Make sure you follow him if you don’t already and also take this moment to download the FREE @HashtagRoundup app so that you have access to all the official Hashtag Games that are running almost every two hours of the day.

This game really made our brain hurt because half of the messages had to be translated before we could figure out how good they were. And all the others had some derivative of “Duck” in them.

Just to quickly clarify what i mean by FAMILY is that we are trying to avoid tweets that are overly sexual or aggressive or offensive or sweary. With @AutocorrectASentence there were some sweary ones that were really clever and so they got the nod. i realise that ‘Dodge’ is subjective to everyone and so we generally go with my definition as game runner [plenty of other games to get your dodge on] but the ones that get our HEARTs and RTs are never going to contain the word ‘C__t’ for example. i feel like you can figure out the rest. And to be absolutely honest, the FAMILY tweets that are good tend to be so much better than the rest. So take a bit more time and go for QUALITY over QUANTITY.

The game was a LOT of fun and as predicted really really SILLY which was great. Probably the silliest game we have run so far and THANK YOU to all of you for having so much fun with us.

We tend to get A LOT OF LOVE from many of you during the game and that is a huge boost for all of us putting it together so THANK YOU for taking the time to encourage us – we really put a lot of time and effort into making a good game for you:

By now you know we love it when @SeinfeldBot arrives to show us his love and it secretly is the measure of a good game for us if we nab him and this time he jumped in early:

Although we didn’t top the USA this time [there was a LOT going on] this was a tag that had legs as you kept it trending for hours:

Which means of course that this week’s F.L.O.P. list is going to be ridiculously LONG because there was so much GREATNESS to choose from.

i started off the game with my own cheeky little sweary in the hope we could entice William Shatner into playing our game:

i long for the day when Will ham shat nerds? plays one of our Hashtag Games. Will it bees do hay?
@WilliamShatner #AutocorrectASentence

Hashtag game start

Sadly he didn’t bite, but hopefully he will one day. In the meantime i sent out some other examples to give you some ideas:

We’re looking for CLEAVER & WILTY & MISSED DIRE ERECTION & RAN DUMB… As always please keep it Farm Lily. #AutocorrectASentence

Inspired by the movies:

You had me at “Hell No!”

With @BrettFishA & @SideOfHashTags #AutocorrectASentence

In homage to all the Star Wars characters who play our game every week:

Kanye didn’t escape:

Canned Hay: I’m a gonad. Let chew Finnish. Butt be on say had wand off the breast videos, Evan.

Kanye Taylor Swift

And have to keep the Twitterer Nemesis on her feet:

Has any Juan scene @keshatedder re-sent leak? A parent leak her Jar Jar soup is bark from the clean hearse.

kesha jar jar

As well as a cheeky attempt to influence Chris Hardwick @Hardwick  and the @midnight Top Ten list:

My cream is that wand day, eye will market on tooth a mint knight Chop Tent lisp & may bee Evan wind eat.

@midnight #AutocorrectASentence

Although that tweet was so autocorrected i had to try and figure out what i meant second time around…

THE CO-HOST WITH THE HAIR

As mentioned, Warren was amazing and came up with a host of tweets of which these are just two:

Making us all stop and consider if we have recently whomped any ting ting…
