Glad you found some more playable rewordings, though! And yes, we do need to set up a game sometime. We could make another post about it and ask people for their availabilities/time zones, and then decide on a time where the optimal amount of people can join in. It's how I've organised these games in the Shakespeare fandom.
(I'll just, uh, wait for those of you who haven't heard of it to educate yourselves.)
Got that taken care of? Thinks it sounds great? Well, I'm here to plug and take requests for:
The PPC version!
You can test-play it presumably through the CardCast website, but I also know for a fact that you can conveniently plug the deck into Pretend You're Xyzzy, which is the most popular online version of Cards Against Humanity. It has literally every card deck ever conceived, and now you can add a PPC deck to it.
Anyone up for a game sometime? Got any card suggestions? Please leave either type of response as a response to this post. Or contact me if you know where to find me.

BTW, I noticed that you changed the one about typos. I don't think the phrasing "What did the typo cause the Word World to do?" really works, because all the answers are basically phrased as nouns, not verbs, so none of them will make grammatical sense. Same problem with "What did I do with the Sue remains?" and, to a lesser extent, "What do agents spend their little bit of free time doing?" I'd rephrase like so:
Oh no! A typo has manifested __ in the Word World!
How did I dispose of the Sue remains?
What do agents spend their little bit of free time on?
We need to organize an actual game soon. ^_^

Glad you found some more playable rewordings, though! And yes, we do need to set up a game sometime. We could make another post about it and ask people for their availabilities/time zones, and then decide on a time where the optimal amount of people can join in. It's how I've organised these games in the Shakespeare fandom.
Slash: Romance Without Boundaries. It works pretty much like Cards Against Humanity, except that the goal is to get the "Matchmaker" to select your card for the funniest 'ship. I got to play a little this weekend, and it's pretty fun. *g*
I fully support a PPC version of Cards Against Humanity, too. If I come up with any good ideas, I'll definitely let you know. ^_^
~Neshomeh
Except it's really more of a 'play while waiting in line for popcorn' game than something you sit down to play with other people. On the count of three, you name one person and your friend names another. That's the pairing you get to imagine!
I think our weirdest was Doctor Doofenshmirtz/Dobby.
It sounds pretty fun/ny, particularly the 'harder' variant where you have to make a story to go with your ship. The inclusion of a rule that you can discard anyone you've never actually heard of is nice, too.
But... argh. I can accept Aragorn's description as '1/32 Elvish on his father's side' as a joke (much like the entirely accurate description of Treebeard as 'doesn't remember what girl trees look like'). But... Galadriel is listed as 'Queen of Lothlorien'. So, y'know, :(.
(Also, I initially thought the name implied it was all male characters, which would have been rather less fun; versatility is always better!)
hS
What canons are included in there?
I can't think of anything recently popular that I didn't see, and there were plenty of classics and things I didn't recognize, too.
~Neshomeh
I don't like all the dirty cards, and I try to avoid playing them at all (which leads to a difficult end game, where I may have no clean cards left). This has gotten to the point where my friends refer to a non-dirty answer as a [doctorlit's real name] answer when anyone else does it.
Anyway, I'd totally love to play the PPC version once in a while. I made some card ideas at work today; I'm sure some of them are funny to no one but me, so feel free to ignore ones that aren't amusing. Some of them are more general fandom/fic stuff, so you may not want to include them.

Yes! I love this game since a few people on the IRC conveniently introduced me to it!
I'd love to play a web game sometime. *dances around*
