Our fourth [Dave Award](https://forum.caption.me/t/the-dave-awards/1600/17) goes to someone who’s given us the gift of genuine LOLs ever since he joined the site five years ago.

@The_Wolf (who also won the Creative Award) has garnered 49 LOL supervotes over the last 12 months.

How big a deal is this? Well, The Wolf is the only captioneer to ever win more than 30 LOLs in a year:

| Year | Captioneer | LOLs **(30+ in bold)** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2013 | Michael Winner | 27 |
| 2014 | Michael Winner | 27 |
| 2015 | Ian Skelding | 18 |
| 2016 | Michael Winner | 22 |
| 2016 | Pete | 22 |
| 2017 | Pete | 23 |
| 2018 | Dan Nicholls | 14 |
| 2019 | The Wolf | 29 |
| 2020 | **The Wolf** | **47** |
| 2021 | **The Wolf** | **36** |
| 2022 | Al Overy | 25 |
| 2023 | **The Wolf** | **49** |

Those numbers translate into little moments of happiness for us all. We all need a genuine laugh, particularly this time of year when the days are so short and damp. So thank you to @The_Wolf and also to runners up, @James_Lennox, @C_CaMel, @Al_Overy and @Karen_McDonald.

The Wolf wins £40, and a Dave Award will be permanently shown on his profile page.

Keep an eye on the forum. The next Dave Award is announced tomorrow at 9pm 🏆

Congratulations once again, Wolf! You’ve kept your fellow captioneers chuckling this year, making our spouses and co-workers wonder what we’re up to on our phones. 😆

You’ve given us so many good captions through the years, but my favourite of yours will probably always be the Snowman Morgue. I still can’t stop laughing out loud when I see it.

:^)

Once again, amazing work! No contest really. While everyone else was just huffing and puffing, The Wolf came up with the howlers. Congratulations! 👏🏻

Congratulations Mr Wolf, there’s no doubt you’ve made more of your fellow captioneers spill drinks, inhale their food and wet themselves than anyone else. Your hilarious creations make it a joy being on the site. I’m just amazed we have you all to ourselves… or do we? Do you secretly write the scripts for some of our best comedy shows and films? Hollywood is missing out. Their loss and our gain! 😀

Congrats too to James, C CaMel, Al and Karen for also making us howl with laughter so often.

Wow. Amazing to see those stats, Chris. Nice one!

Thank you captioneers for your lovely words. I’ve been called ‘funny looking’ before, but never funny!

I love the idea of making people laugh so it means a lot to me that I can give a few of you the occasional giggle. The world can be a very serious place sometimes so a smile and a laugh goes a long way. You’ve all certainly given me plenty of laughs over the year, so thank you for that.

Congrats to James, C, Al and Karen. Great stuff from them again.

Important to note that James misses out on at least 1 photo per day (due to him being awkward and living in New Zealand 🙄 😂), so to score that many with less participation is pure quality. If he moves to Hull, he’ll win next year, but let’s face it, you’re better off living in New Zealand and not having the Dave Award.

Keep it silly, amigos. Happy captioning!

PS. For those who haven’t realised, we had to restart ‘the one that got away’ poll today, so please recast any votes set previously so we can crown the winner on Saturday.

Congratulations on your sidesplitting captions! It’s like you’ve got the Midas touch, but instead of turning things to gold, you’re turning photos into giggles. You have definitely added cheer to our lives, and I know there are many times when I’ve had a stressful day and you’ve brought a smile to my face. There are so many times I’ve checked to see whose hilarious caption I voted for and it was yours. Also, I love your acceptance speech, especially the comments about James moving to Hull 😂 I tip my imaginary hat to you, and I’m sure your future writings will continue to be as wild and wonderful as a pack of partying wolves under a full moon. You are a [caption.me](http://caption.me) legend

Lol, congratulations - well deserved Wolf!

Lols are important because it’s a show of those dopamine fixes that have taken folk to another level, kinda like a flip switch.

Imagine what would happen if all the captions we submitted didn’t provoke any reactions at all? It’d still be [caption.me](http://caption.me) but I think subscription would be dwindling as I don’t think there’s be the draw any more. We couldn’t have monotony unless folk just enjoy submitting captions for the sake of it

Anyway Wolf continue what you’re doing, I know you may in fact be an embodiment of lol seeing as Wolf has ol in it, already let lol be your spirit guide, that is unless it’s a complete coincidence that these letters simply fall into your alias? 😄

Made up for you Wolf! I’ve lost count of the number of LOLs I’ve sent your way since you joined [caption.me](http://caption.me) in 2018. Your captions literally make me cry with laughter. Difficult to choose my absolute favourite, but after looking through your impressive back catalogue I think it has to be this one:

Commiserations, Mr Wolf. You must feel really sick about missing out in 2019.
