This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

At this point in my life, every person with whom I've played this game has died.
It seems like that would be unlikely, but probably best not to tempt fate.
There's an apple a day joke there somewhere.
Apparently, the idiom was created by the funeral industry, not unlike the "tradition" of diamond wedding rings, etc.
a whole apple a day causes a buildup of cyanide, killing you early and thus creating more demand for coffins
What did you do to them?!
You aren't supposed to use the cards as a template!
Ive played this version with my nephews before. You can still be raunchy, but you've got to be a bit more creative with innuendo.
My favorite card in that game is "Republicans"
I’ve only played apples to apples once and nobody was interested in being funny. They always picked the best match, not the card that was funniest.
This is also known as the worst way to play Fibbage.
You mean asking the game to create a lie for you because you’re so terrible at improvising is not the right way to play? Phew!
I played Apples to Apples once and I was the asshole trying to play the game for real, lol
Yeah, y'all were doing it wrong. We always encourage picking creative answers. You need to be playing whatever the judge will pick, not what actually fits the best.
It's a pretty good introduction for those who don't care for swearing and sexual jokes. Better than Apples to Apples, I'd say. Could use room for improvement, I've been meaning to put together a combination of the full game and expansions that my whole family can play
I love how this company repeatedly rags on Hellmann's, but even more I love their Black Friday gags. But even more I love their political actions. I know it's all just marketing, but it's incredibly entertaining.

I remember the stream where the just dug a hole for like 2 days. Kinda wish they had kept it going.
Their FAQ page for the holiday hole was fucking incredible. "The Onion on a good day" level comedy
"Why don't you donate that money?"
"Why don't you?"
Kids Against Maturity can be pretty fun
Oh man. I wish I knew about this before I bough CAH. That looks way more fun with the artwork.
If you want a similar minded game but a different thematic an genre, try Munchkin.
It's a really good card game with goofy things like a weapon called Swiss Halberd (yes, it's like a Swiss knife but pole arms), or the monster "Amazon" which do not attack female characters, or the "Whine at the GM", which gets you a free level.
If you have a small group of friends to play with, it's a blast.
*You must face the gazebo alone. *
There's also a Dread Gazebo, which is a joke only cool people will get
Apples to Apples is better than CAH, fight me
They each have their place imo, but I'd agree that A2A can definitely require more creativity and two people being on the same wavelength rather than CAH where the cards do almost all of the heavy lifting.
I've always thought the same. Apples to apples you have to be a little creative. Cards against humanity is like playing a shooter with an aimbot.
But you gotta take out all the utter shit cards. The game is so much fun with a tenth of the proper noun cards.
We're all going to Hellman
Mayonnaise? Lol
I lost the instructions manual but I remember mine said to mail it to the white house.
This thread verified that I wasn't crazy.
I assume this is a version of Apples To Apples that's just loaded with innuendo and double entendres? Because if so, that's hilarious and I need a copy.
This is Cards Against Humanity: Family Edition. A lot of poop and pee jokes abound. 🤣
The original game Cards against humanity is insanely vulgar.
