You'd have to be a Grade A moron to not vote for A

Once again I'm a bit confused as to why that particular clip was chosen when there are far, far funnier Simpsons bits, but as I don't recognize the joke in B, it's gotta be A.

For some Brits, it's enough just to hear Tony Hancock say 'well stone me!' and their socks fall off.

I often find The Simpsons a bit dull - a lot of zany noise and bright colours, not much subtlety, humour for people with adhd. It does have moments of brilliance though, but this isn't one of them.
I do feel Hancock could've been represented better with a more obviously humorous clip. This was a bit short of killer lines, still I enjoyed Hancock and James bouncing off each other and the use of language.

So did I, and anyway I prefer South Park to The Simpsons.

"Firecrackers: The Silent Killer" - I thought that bit was good, at least.
Would it be wrong to suggest that B should actually go on till 2:38, rather than 2:05? That would seem to be the natural cut-off point, and delivers the punchline of sorts.
I'm going to go for B on that basis. Sadly, this has been the tie of the round so far.

B is good, but not nearly in the same league as A for me, which is packed with witty word play as well as razor-sharp social satire. Just ask any scientician.
