Final Judgment
It is time for the Final Judgment.
Rules:
-The first person (me) takes two related things and poses the question: Which is better?
-The first person who responds is the final arbiter concerning the question posed. He/she will render a decision concerning which is better, along with a brief explanation.
-The decision is final and binding. Everyone must abide by that decision for the rest of time.
-After making a decision, the arbiter must propose another face-off. Failure to do so nullifies his/her decision.
Here goes...
Disney characters vs. Looney Tunes characters
MTV, but it's a close call.
The thing is, MTV is the original, and although VH1 did bring us pop up video, it's campy humor at best, fleetingly entertaining.
IMO, MTV moves out into the lead with Celebrity Death Match. This was easily my favorite thing on TV during college, which might have other implications as to my success in the world of academe.
My choice for Final Judgement:
Coke vs. Pepsi

(PS While in the middle of thinking out my reasoning, I hit post on my somewhat poorly thought out written response so far, since I just got an amazing case of the shits. I'm in between rounds right now, and plan to fully flesh out my answer when the opportunity arises. For the moment, I have to find some matches and the pepto bismol. Ciao!)

Pepsi
Coke may have come first but Pepsi makes money off of improving upon Coke's ideas.
In this case, cheaters win.
Corey Haim
or
Corey Feldman
I LOVE FUCKING TREES
and I was pretty sure you were going to be stumped.
Corey Feldman
because he's still alive. BAM!
Isaac or Ishmael?
Isaac, because names with consecutive a's automatically win.
Rocky II vs Rocky IV
4
2 killed what was great about the 1st.
Plus, the training and boxing choreography rocked!
DRAAAGO!!!! DRAGO!!!! DRAAGO!!!!!!!!
Oh and the Robot!....was ok.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
or
Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers
I LOVE FUCKING TREES
and I was pretty sure you were going to be stumped.
teenage mutant ninja turtles because they are named after awesome historical figures, they eat pizza, live in NYC, and they're fucking ninja turtles!
batman or superman
"Everyday takes figuring out all over again how to fuckin live."
Batman
because who actually likes superman?
Werewolf or Vampyre?
vampyres because they can do cool stuff like mind control, turn into animals (wolves even!) and mist, fly, and control the weather. sparkling is not a skill.
werewolves are lame because they can only turn into animals and can't even control it when the moon is out. that and they pee on fire hydrants.
apples or oranges?
i just want to say that in no way are disney characters superior to looney tunes characters. disney characters have that 'aw shucks' temperament that hid hearts of pure nazi evil. they flopped around and danced about while secretly plotting our assimilation. looney tunes were REAL, down to earth bruthas. their subversiveness and social commentary was decades ahead of its time. while mickey mouse was saying "gee golly" and planting tomatoes, bugs bunny was incognito in a poker game with a big orange monster, smoking a cigar and slipping him ether when he wasn't looking so bugs could make his escape.
disney>looney tunes? i beg to differ.
Apples.
Because orange is the most uncreative name ever. Although the name blood orange is cool. But with apples you can make apple pie. Ever try to make an orange pie? And crab apples, the cranky, shrunken uncles of normal, well adjusted apples, are great as slingshot ammo in a pinch.
Peanut or Plain M&M's?

disney>looney tunes? i beg to differ.
Hey I don't like it either, but what don't you get about FINAL JUDGMENT?
I LOVE FUCKING TREES
and I was pretty sure you were going to be stumped.
This is America, dammit! I refuse to accept Disney as superior to Looney Tunes, and I will stage a coup if necessary.
Moving on, Peanut M &M's are far superior, because they have peanuts in them. They deliver a small nugget of slightly healthy food wrapped in an explosive combination of sugar, chocolate, sugar, and sugar-flavored chocolate. Plain M&M's turn into liquid shit in your mouth. Peanut M&Ms shatter like glass, making every snacking experience rife with the potential of sugary shards of goodness lodging into your gums. It don't get no better.
Now, let's do a challenging one, shall we?
Better sidekick: A Chimp or an Orangutan?
Simple
An orangutan.
I hated The Wild Thornberries. Darwin was annoying.
Meanwhile, Lanky Kong from Donkey Kong 64 was an orangutan and he could walk on his hands, stretch his arms, and he was even in possession of a gun that shot giant grapes.
Two Face or Harvey Dent?
I LOVE FUCKING TREES
and I was pretty sure you were going to be stumped.
Fix your answer. Abu had a tail, and was therefore a Monkey. Great Chimp sidekicks include Chim-Chim from Speed Racer and Bear from BJ and the Bear.


Orangutan sidekicks don't get any better than Clyde from Any Which Way but Loose.

This is seriose business.
fix'd sir.
I'm sure that my ignorance was insulting, for that I apologize.
I LOVE FUCKING TREES
and I was pretty sure you were going to be stumped.

Two Face
He's Harvey Dent with his panties in a wad, but it makes him more interesting. How can you not love the alter-ego vs. the man?
mario or bowser?

fuck ya'll disney is better. way better. without disney, you wouldn't even have looney tunes.

Looney Tunes and Silly Symphonies launched around the same time. While both served a broad audience at first, Looney Tunes remained true to its roots in vaudeville based comedy, where Disney moved into features and more kid-friendly fare (for the most part). I would argue that Disney's return to prominence was largely based on the fact that they adapted a more Looney Tunes style to their scriptwriting and pacing.
who survives today? Disney is still at the heart of just about every person i know's childhood. Their characters are iconic and define animation. Looney tunes are rarely seen except for on Cartoon Network late at night. I'm not saying looney tunes aren't good, because I do like the old original stuff, but I'm saying disney is better and longer lasting and more important. Look at how popular the Princess and the Frog is! Proof disney is still chugging strong. and don't even get me started on how beautiful pixar is. (who disney owns)
and wtf, this thread is called Final Judgment! Get over it! All of ye!

This should be another thread, and I will make it so when I have time...
Bowser
He goes along with the whole "Princess kidnapped" thing when really it's the only way Peach can cheat on Mario. I still don't buy the whole, Peach not being Baby Bowser's mother. Mario Sunshine was hiding something when at the end Bowser admits Peach isn't Jr's mom. Yeah right.
Milk: Slim vs Whole?
I LOVE FUCKING TREES
and I was pretty sure you were going to be stumped.

I think i've posted that video before, but i love it.
Anyrate, i like chimps more because they're real ass niggas.
Whole of course. Anything less would not be fulfilling. I enjoy being fulfilled. My beer is NOT light, my liquor is NOT the lower value, my bike in NOT stripped down, etc. Even looking at skim/light/cut-down/etc. stuff I can see the limpness.
Now for something older, but still important (I wish I could answer my own query), done alphabetically:
Ginger or Mary Ann?
Did you know that reading is the leading cause of literacy!?
I've said it before and I'll say it again. 2% milk should only be like .25 cents a gallon.
If it's only 2% milk why should we pay the same price for it as whole milk? It's preposterous!!!
Peanut or Plain M&M's?
This doesn't make any sense! It should be peanut M&M's or ALMOND M&M's! I don't know why they even bother making the plain ones.
And what of Reese's Pieces?!
and why don't they make a bag that a mixture of plain M&Ms and Reese's Pieces? So you get chocolate and peanut butter together? People are retarded i tell you!
I know! I'm just as horrified as you are!
Mary Ann because she wore gingham and gingham is inherently cheerful no matter how it is used be it garments or curtains.
Bob Dylan or Bob Marley
And what's the deal with "fun-sized" candy bars? It'd be a lotter funner if you didn't have to reach waaay down into the little shit's pant pocket to take them!
What kin of pants are they wearing? Most kid pants have got little tiny pockets that should make it easier. Or you could just take the pants off them and then take the candy out.
Good thinking, because turning 'em upside down and shaking 'em just breaks the little candies on the ground. 
Hey. Don't shake a baby. You can flip a baby but don't shake a baby.
I LOVE FUCKING TREES
and I was pretty sure you were going to be stumped.
It'd be a lot funner if my candy bar wasn't the size of a fucking thumbnail. I've always wondered what idiot came up with that euphemism.
I know! I'm just as horrified as you are!

I bought a Tan and White Gingham J. Crew shirt the other day. I'm lookin' fine, i tell ya

That's actually what I was playing off of in the first place.

Well, I think they are fun! I can't eat a whole Snickers or Baby-Ruth bar, but I can eat a couple of fun ones.
disney>looney tunes? i beg to differ.
Bob Marley!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bob Marley felt his music as well as lived it. He believed what he sang & said.
Zimmerman (Dylan/s real name) never found a style & missed a lot. He also couldn't figure out if he is Jewish or Christian.
Here's an REAL HARD one -
John Wayne or Clint Eastwood?

Anyway, John Wayne, but they're both jokes.
Top or bottom?
Top because girls never know how to work it up there.
The future or the past?
The past because it already happened, we never know if tomorrow will come.

Oh and King of the Hill or Family Guy?

ME because House is old.
Donatello or Michelangelo?

obviously, Disney Characters are MUCH better than Looney Tunes could ever hope to be.
Disney Characters inspire magic, do-gooding, and a moral compass in children. They are inspired from classical stories of literary merit from days gone by, such as Grimm's fairy tails. Songs are involved in many disney movies, so children learn to appreciate music as a method of story telling as well. Looney Tunes just bang around, smack each other, and are constantly hurting one another. Often, there is no dialog at all in these short vignettes of violence. Disney's tradition probably inspired many of the saturday morning cartoons which led to the looney tunes of the 1950's, and beyond. Disney is well established, and wishes nothing but good, carful teachings on their watchers.
Now,
Which is better?
MTV or VH1?
