What is the Silliest Thread on FlyerTalk?
There are so many threads now that involve questions like - what is the biggest, smallest, largest, most, least, best, worst, longest, shortest, fastest, slowest etc.......
So I thought it would be fun to list the silliest. I'll start -
This one.

I have a number of favorites from the past 10+ years but, without a doubt, this one should be considered a classic: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trip-...lhr-plane.html. Pure comedy genius. A more modern iteration of a similarly awesome style is here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trip-...hrooms-me.html.
You can also search for "unmitigated," "upgrade flirt," or "stink shield" in the CO forum for some pretty good stuff. The thread about "wing glitz" (TBuzz, I believe) was pretty awesome, too.

The silliest thread? Just one? That's so hard. 
Just take a look at TalkBoard Topics Forum right now. Any thread you pick from the 1st page will fit the bill perfectly.
Yes, go ahead. I trust your judgment. Whatever you pick, you can't be wrong.

there is usually a thread in each forum asking this question, so that would be like the semi finals
I would search for terms like
what compensation am I owed
why won't they let my bag as a carry on
so I said to them Don't you know who I am?
How was I supposed to know a five dollar fare to India was a mistake?
democrat
republican
and you would generate quite a list of silly threads.

This thread from the DL forum is a good candidate.

Easy. The AA forum's "VIP Treatment" thread. The OP is quoted in post 5. Reading it will give context to the silly responses.
