Weinermobile gets pulled over and fans relish the jokes!
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Frankly, even the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile has to obey traffic laws. And if the driver doesn't, he or she may end up getting grilled by the cops. And social-media followers will surely relish the many puns and other bad jokes about the giant hot dog-shaped vehicle.
"What really happened on that fateful day with the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile?" the Waukesha County, Wisconsin, Sheriff's office tweeted on Monday. "The driver of the Wienermobile was stopped & given a verbal warning by a @WaukeshaSheriff for not following the Move Over Law (2001 WI Act 15, WI Statute 346.072)."
Meat company Oscar Mayer owns six 27-foot-long Wienermobiles, and apparently one of them got burned. When the sheriff shared the photo of the pulled-over hot dogger, fans couldn't wait to serve up a pun. Here are the five best we saw.
- "Thanks for helping us catsup on these laws; I really relish these kind of posts." -- Scott Ehlke on Facebook
- "I guess the weinermobile driver just couldn't cut the mustard that day." -- Ralph Redlin on Facebook
- "It's Wisconsin. The Weinermobile is the equivalent of the Queen's glass coach there." -- Karendipitee on Twitter
- "Don't drive like a hot dog." -- K Mad on Twitter
- "Shoulda been a misdeweiner, just sayin'." -- Patricia Saavedra on Facebook

10 feet farther to the right and it would have been a chilly dog.
Dude. That's just too corny, dawg!
I heard a Buddhist walked over to the Weinermobile when it was pulled over and asked the driver to "make me one with everything."
It's been told that the Buddhist handed over a $20 to pay and when he asked for his change, the vendor said "change comes from within."
Weinermobile Runs Amok, Reporters Google “Hot Dog Jokes”
Big news last week as the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile crashed into a home in Racine, Wisconsin. Apparently the driver was trying to turn the vehicle around and went forward when she meant to go backward. Luckily nobody was hurt, though you have to wonder what it’s like to come home and see this tableau unfolding in your driveway:
Here’s one of those fun little mishaps reporters live for; a chance to pull out the jokey headlines and show how witty they ain’t. Here’s a few I found with a quick Google search:
Fox News : “One southern Wisconsin homeowner is probably not in love with the Oscar Mayer weiner.”
Geekologie: “Hot Dog! Weinermobile Crashes Into Home!”
TMZ : “My Baloney Has A First Name – It’s C-R-A-S-H!”
Fox6 News (Milwaukee) : “The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile got itself into quite a pickle when it crashed into a Racine home Friday morning.”
And…surprisingly, that’s pretty much it. You’re slipping, guys, there’s plenty more material to work with. How about “Looks like this driver just couldn’t cut the mustard!” Or maybe, “I’ll bet she doesn’t relish explaining this to the homeowner!” Or even, “Police say they never sausage an accident!”
Actually, my favorite is from Racine’s local paper, the Journal-Times , where the headline read: “Vehicle batters house; easy to get description.”
Maybe I shouldn’t pick on reporters for making funnies, though. At least it breaks up the phoned-in monotony of the umpteenth “hail of gunfire,” “rash of thefts” or victim found “in a pool of blood.” Plus the ever-popular “alleged.” My favorite is “City resident John Smith was allegedly shot to death last night by his wife.” What does “allegedly shot to death” mean? That an autopsy may prove he actually drowned? Or that he’s probably faking the “death” thing and he’ll be back on his feet in a couple of weeks?
Of course, having an errant wiener wreck a happy home is hardly news at all any more, but I guess in this case size really does matter. Ho ho. See? I knew that journalism degree would come in handy someday.
... driving it into the back door like that may have been perceived to be worse by some.
Not a big fan of rear-entry Weinermobiles, myself...especially when it's a surprise.
Yes, a polite partner should ask first,
Sometimes, it's a surprise to everybody and there just isn't enough time to confirm or deny a reservation. Weinermobile driver learned that one the hard way.
No doubt he had to learn to drive stick before being qualified to drive the weinermobile… one slip of the clutch and he could end up ramming someone from behind...
Unless it's your x-wife... Been there done that.
poetic justice.
I'll bet that guy doesn't get pulled over again. Because Heinz sight is 20/20.
catsup on a hot dog is blasphemy.
Heinz also makes relish and mustard
... er,... uh,........ who asked you?
I grew up on Heinz, man!
Hey! Is that a weiner on your car or you just happy to see me?
Wait, wait ... I have to get my ball bearings after that one!
some devious person needs to find one of those wienermobiles to hang a big sack off the rear and put a little hat on the front.
I changed my mind. somebody needs to put a big orange comb-over on top of the cab and the presidential seal on both sides.
Even though ya'll stole my jokes, this entire seed has cracked me up.
I can't believe all you brats are telling such horrible jokes, but to be frank, it's kinda sexy. I kinda want all you pigs in a blanket.
You'll never guess who I saw warming hot dogs in a microwave as a street vendor. Frank Zappa.
I need to bone-up on my weiner jokes. It took me a full minute to get that one.
It took me a minute. Haha
I'm Wiki Warrior Wonder Wiener and I don't appreciate the ''wiener/hot dog'' jokes.
This is pure breed discrimination, plain and simple.
This is my identical twin brother (different mothers) and he would like a word with you since he doesn't like the jokes either.
His name is Anim translated from Pit Bull means Hmmmmm lunch.
Great link SP. I volunteer at a shelter 5 days a week and I see everyday how intelligent dogs are. We have only began to understand how intelligent they are.
BTW, wiki and Anim can drive but prefer to have me do the driving. Kinda like Driving Miss Wiki and Anim.
And speaking of weiner dogs:
I love the Subaru commercials.
My favorite.
What does that dog bench press?
Oh...and Wiki the Wonder Weiner dog is gonna end up in a bun with relish and mustard. I ain't afraid of her brother...
Yeah - one of my favorite lunches -
A gift from Kavika many years ago.
Adult human beings, two at a time...
Let the Lord be your guide.
Ok, I lied...I am afraid!
Doesn't that qualify as a dick pic?
Well at least this crash occurred in Pennsylvania which lets Wisconsin off the hook ( a bit ).
Another PA "crash" from 2008
Maybe they should consider not driving in the snow?
Everyone always wants to see what's under the bun...
Maybe stay out of PA altogether. If it isn't snot slick highways messing up the drive it's the state flower in bloom....
Butt, butt they are evergreens...........nothing prettier than mounds of Laurel
unless your allergic to the pollen
