What's so great about the Antiques Roadshow, anyway? It's just some lousy TV show where random people bring their random stuff, in hopes that the appraisers will evaluate them to be some fancy antique, that could be sold for a full suitcase-worth of money. Who could ever spend their time watching that, right? Well, this show is a guilty pleasure and some sort of a cult for a mass of people for more than two decades now.

While the concept of this show isn't a funny one per se and some of the antique appraisal discoveries are truly marvelous, but in so many years and with so many people participating in it, some funny jokes are bound to happen sooner or later. And once the Internet gets its hands on something, the captions for pictures shown at the show, for instance, things always take a peculiar, and random turn. That is exactly what happened to this show once Tumblr user Keaton Patti started screenshotting the antiques from the show and adding the best captions to them, and the results are absolutely hilarious. We believe, that event the Antiques Roadshow appraisers themselves could not match these funny captions.
