A cartoon about Glenn Close and Marvel's 2014 Guardians of the Galaxy for a caption competition "Wow! That was close!" which fell flat because it was not obvious enough that I was trying to be clever with different uses of the word close. It was a shame as I quite liked the artwork particularly my miniature Rocket!
For cultural references to work in these competitions they have to be obvious like this Star Wars Stormtrooper ballerina gag. Examples of other fall flat cultural references include this old Hobbit Pub gag from 2013.
