The bumbling authority figure is of course a well-worn cliche, but few did it as well as Sellers. B doesn't sustain the funny the whole time, but there are laughs at least.
A is basically at a 12-year old level. "He used the 'C' word!" Joke over.

A made me laugh. Sure it's not sophisticated but that kind of cruel humour is very British and does appeal to me.
I can enjoy watching Seller's performance, but this didn't make me laugh particularly.

the opening few seconds of B made me laugh. A was OK.

A isn't funny in the slightest. I'm not sure the intention was to make us laugh anyway - it's all about Coogan's fear of failure or mockery or whatever.
B has funny moments but it's too heavy-handed and there's not enough space. But it's easily the winner here.

I love Clouseau, but the timing of A was immaculate.

I think A's pretty good, the way it goes from a cheap puerile shock, to a more sophisticated puerile joke. The timing is great, I thought.
I never understood the fuss over Sellers. B is pretty painful to watch.

I'm inclined to believe that Mr Coogan is in fact a cunt, but this did raise a chuckle.
Sellers is not really a comedian, so much as a comic actor, entirely reliant on his material, which, in the Pink Panther films, is not always consistent. The dialogue can sometimes drag, but the slapstick in this scene, although telegraphed in places, is excellent, and more than makes up for his annoying accent.

A: Fonz 6
B: Fange 5
Fange seems to be up to his old tricks of voting against himself again!
