Meaning of Life

As good as it gets (not a comedy, but more funny than Gump though Gump was a better movie)

Real genius

The meaning of life.

Strictly a measure of chance not the value of the movie. One persons snap decision that got there first. :)

hey Bigv - are you volunteering to sit and compile a list of each vote for each question for say 2 hours after the question is asked??? that could make this contest last weeks.

i kind of dig the first answer in wins system personally.

Hell, I volunteer to take all four conference seedings and give you the winners in every bracket and I won't take 2 hours either...

You know it's only a matter of time before somebody starts a pool on this . . . .

...and then sits in front of the computer non-stop so they can make sure the "right" team wins.

/clears throat/
 

/buzz lightyear voice/

You're mocking me, aren't you?

didn't we have an agreement that no one can pick the winner twice in a row? let's face it, i always have the cellar up on my screen, but i only vote on ones i care about - i don't want to totally pack my choices here.

And a little more time until somebody dumps chlorine in it. :)

now if only someone would do that to the gene pool

The first rule of the Field of 64 is, there is no whining in the Field of 64.

Better off Dead, or Top Secret?

Hey!
 

Agreement? Rules? Ok, I know I'm slow on the uptake, but I missed the class, ok? First in wins? What elese?

fine :D

better off dead

:thumbsup:

If it's not fun this way, let us know a way that would be more fun. The only rule is you don't get to declare two winners in a row. We have voting once we get to the final four.

A Night at the Opera, or Seven-Year Itch?

seven year itch

It's fun the way it is. This way, we get to pick on people when they don't make a choice we agree with. And a certain amount of randomness is throw in, which is good.

Seven Year Itch? What are you, nuts? What an upset!

History of the World pt 1, or The Blues Brothers?

Blues Brothers

Blues Brothers

Top Secret (but both are good)

Blues Brothers

It's not "not fun", it's more the case that I got here late, didn't know what was going on and plus, having the Meaning of Life displaced (I refuse to say defeated) by Office Space thrust me into a state of perfect discombuberation. Now you know what I sound like when I'm discombuberated.

Anyway, as a comptetion these rules are ok. I was/am ignorant. But I do have an idea... At the risk of changing it from the competition format into a raw poll, if voting is ok on the final four, what about voting in the earlier rounds? I know that sounds like a lot of collating and counting, but you could sidestep the whole hanging chad issue by making use of your poll tool. Each level of the bracket could be one poll. Post the entire level at once, and let the voting be open for a short time (tick tock tick tock) and the votes accumulate and the whole level is decided at once. Really, it's not a lot different than what you have happening now, only the number of votes deciding the winner of a given match increases from one to something more than one, and the timeframe increases from one instant post to maybe a quarter hour? longer? shorter? Your poll tool still prevents ballot box stuffing with the one vote per member, and there could be cheering and jeering during the individual matches, as the vote totals accumulated. More time to enjoy the match in progress.

I dunno, just an idea. It is fun this way too.

And thanks for letting me come over to your place to play, sincerely.

Well, cuz.
 

I guess I keep hoping that Marilyn Monroe will fall out of her dress. The dramatic tension keeps me watching. Wait, um, this is the comedy competition. My bad. Sorry.

yeah, Blues Brothers!

Ferris Bueller's Day Off

hey radar - either you're missing something, or i am. first vote gets the win, but you have to wait until UT gives us the match up.

Radar, you have to wait until UT asks the question. Then the first to answer has chosen the winner, end of battle, and we wait for UT to make another move.

if you are curious, there are currently 22 people anxiously awaiting the next matchup.

and refreshing like crazy......

What if I don't post one?

Nah, I will. But nobody said it has to be in order! In fact it should be mixed up so it isn't predictable. So:

Fahrenheit 9/11, or Aladdin?

Fahrenheit 9/11

Slackers. Drop and give me 20. http://www.cellar.org/images/smilies/wink.gif

dammit.

Aladdin

It's gonna piss me off if that movie ultimately wins the tournament. Just sayin'.

What About Bob? or Fargo?

What About Bob?

what - you don't think absurd comedy is worthy of an award?

*zips up flame retardent suit*

hehehheh... good idea. way more funner.

It'll also piss off the guy who has to scrape tw off the pavement directly below the 31st floor balcony.

http://www.cellar.org/images/newersmilies/wstupid.gif
wrong. back of the line, buddy.

OK, that is all the games for this afternoon. (You can stop refreshing the thread now.)

http://cellar.org/fieldof64/comedies.php

i'll, i mean, he'll be laughing too hard to scrape the pavement...

what - you don't think absurd comedy is worthy of an award?

Isn't absurd comedy something the French like? :)

Whew, my F5 finger was gettin wore out.
 

Ok, ok, that was fun! So, if ya don't mind my askin, when is the next set of matches scheduled to start or do I have to revert to stalker mode again?

a la Jerry Lewis?

Not stalker, lurker. ;)

It all depends on my copious but unpredictable free time.

Um, Radar...

I mean. Ok. Yeah, sure. Your votes will count. Yeah. That's the ticket.

No need to play the rest of the round really.

Well, that was fun. What's next?

let me just say one thing:

the first person that votes against the holy grail will become my personal bitch& whipping boy. no, really.

hey, bully boy - your knuckles look like they are getting a little raw, why don't you quit dragging them?

cool yer jets, for now.
 

Well, according to my calculations, Monty Python and the Holy Grail doesn't face any serious opposition until the final eight, when it loses to Groundhog Day.

By the way, I will be casting that vote, laughing boy.

I can't believe anyone voted against Monty Python's meaning of life, which is even more funny than the Holy Grail.

That would be me.

I found Office Space more comedic. Not that I don't love Python (Holy Grail is definitely one of my favorites, as is Life of Brian) I just think OS is more funny overall.

*shrug*
