Here are some past entries for the Best Presentation category — perhaps the crown jewel of Guac Bowl (for people who don’t care about taste.)
- The Walking, Talking Guac King. I hired him to walk around with guac and chips in his sombrero.
- Guactopus. Sadly, there was no real octopus meat in the guac.
- “Tube Guacks” and “Guackey Shorts.” Both failed, unfunny non-winning puns
- “Guac Strap” and “Silk Guackings.” Slightly better puns, but not good enough to win.
- Guac’s Anatomy. Supposedly all the items in a guac recipe, separated.
- Notice the guac and chips in the King’s sombrero. And the note cards with clever things to say on them.
- “Hung Out To Guac” — a multiple-guac entry featuring four sub-puns (see following pictures).
- The Guacadile Hunter. Too soon? The voters thought so.
- Guac & Roll, with three guacs: Glam Guac (sprinkles), Hard Guac (booze), and Classic Guac (no special ingredient).
- Aguacalipto, one of our best Guac Bowl entries ever to be based on a Mel Gibson movie!
- There’s Mel, with the director’s chair, beard, and megaphone. Nice touch!
- A panther eating the innards of an Aguacalipto cast member. If I saw the movie, I’d get this.
- Guackenspeil. An underappreciated guac entry because of its size.
- Guac Strap. The second time this pun was used this year! You people are predictable.
- The Avacado Grotto, the first working fountain of guacamole ever in Guac Bowl. Classy!
- The Guac-Iron. This baby had corn bread underneath.
- These Boots Were Made For Guacin’. Come on, putting boots next to guac is pretty lame. Now, guac inside boots…
- Guac-a-moola. I think it’s supposed to be like money… but for some reason Brad Pitt is the president? Who knows.
- Guaczilla! The 2007 winner for Best Presentation.
- Notice the avocado skins used to emulate the exoskeleton scales of this vicious beast.
- And the black corn chips to represent the back spikes. We can all learn a little something from this entry.
- Chicken Guacs. With tomatoes as the spots instead of, uh, chicken.
- Guacson Pollock. A true work of abstract art

- “Attack the Guac,” based on the excellent British film few people saw.

- The “Guacet Launcher,” which shot guac onto a tortilla chip, when placed on the target in the background. Fun for the whole family!
- Count Guacula, with a motorized coffin, mobile of bats, and gravestones full of smack-talk.
- When you pressed the button, the coffin would open and the Count would rise from the guac.
- Guac-ing the Picket Line, a timely guac for the 2007 WGA strike.
- Notice the fine detail work on the signs and t-shirts!
