Thread Title Of The Year 2020: The Nominations

[Mel O'Drama]

As we're coming up to the end of 2020, it's time to cast your mind back to those thread titles that have grabbed your attention this year.

Has there been one thread title from another member that's excited you? Or had you rolling with laughter? Perhaps there's a cheeky one that's made you do a double-take. Or one that compelled you to click into a thread that you might have otherwise skipped?

There are no limits. If it was a thread title somewhere on Telly Talk, it can qualify.

Posting a link to the thread will be helpful (but isn't obligatory). And if you could name the member who came up with your favourite thread title, that will be great.

Nominations close at the end of December. Have fun!!​

For me it has to be this one, for the sheer joy it brought to my heart:

CNN calls it - Biden wins

 

[Sarah]

I know it's nothing to do with this year, or possibly this decade but does anyone remember the 'Sharon Is Orange' thread??

 

[Angels Chanting]

Because it was such an eye-catching title, I nominate this one:

Oh! Dear Lord I've died and gone to hell by @Chloe-Fusco in the Falcon Crest Forum

And after a gentle nudge from @Ome for Christmas, here's one that had slipped my mind:

Colleen Camp engaged to toyboy -and son of an Earl

[Oh!Carol Christmasson]

Colleen Camp engaged to toyboy -and son of an Earl
Thanks to @Barbara Belle Of The Ball

I love it when I misread titles, in this case "son of (an) Earl".
I thought, who is Earl??? A singer? Earl Flynn? A character from Star Wars? Cain & Abel's baby brother?

 

[Mel O'Drama]

I love it when I misread titles

Same here, and it happens more than you'd think.

Perhaps we need a Misread Thread Title Of The Year contest.

I do it all the time and my mind comes up with some really bizarre thread titles that are really perfectly innocent.

Nominations are now closed, and we've had so many choices, the vote will be split across two polls which can be found here and here.

Have fun all.​
