Toot |
Title text: This is also one of only five identified situations in which a vuvuzela is actually appropriate. |
Explanation
"Toot my own horn" is an expression (possibly only used in America) that means to brag about ones self.
The Vuvuzela is a noise maker that is native to South Africa and is featured heavily in any World Cup game. Many vuvuzelas blown/played at the same time make a noise similar to that of a thousand bees.
Transcript
- Cueball: I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I was first in my class at Caltech.
- [Cueball falls backward as Black Hat sounds an air horn in his face.]
- Black Hat: Really? I don't mean to toot my own horn, but
- BRAAAAAAP!
- [A picture of an air horn.]
- Air horns: worth carrying around your entire life for those few perfect moments.
Discussion
The YouTube link in the explanation is a sarcastic video, that makes anyone who views it laugh out loud at how "seriously" the three men in tuxedos are acting as they blare out awful sounds with those horns. Calling the vuvuzela a "highly sophisticated" instrument based on that video is misleading at the least. 173.245.54.11 16:00, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

I wonder what the other 4 situations where a V thingy is appropriate are? 108.162.221.53 07:48, 8 May 2014 (UTC)
- -Predation.
- -Sneaking mission.
- -Former and disliked significant other's wedding.

- 1, 2: actually harmful to your goal, 3 - ethically dubious, but okay, 4 - well, maybe 172.68.10.167 14:09, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
The best part about this comic is that it looks like Black Hat is also screaming "BRAAAAAAP!" at the top of his lungs. 108.162.249.205 01:59, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
