I like the Beavis and Butthead film, but it's no contest...Carlin is brilliant. Vote A

I didn't find either of these funny. Maybe you have to be Catholic to find A funny..I don't know. I could enjoy Carlin's way with a story though and on that level found it quite engaging. B was just childish, the poor man's South Park.

Yeah, I admit my inner 12-year-old thinks B&B finding their adult equivalents in a state of suspended adolescence is pretty damned funny, but it's not as funny as Carlin poking affectionate fun at his own childhood. I guess the folks that think he became hectoring in later years have a point, but this period is pretty unrelentingly funny and both pointing and poignant. The whole "six sins in one field!" part is delivered exquisitely.
A easily, though B could have won a lot of previous matches.

Carlin's clever, and there are amusing moments in the clip, but - I don't know, I can't be arsed with him and his schtick really. In fact I'm realising that comedians talking at length isn't ever going to tickle me very much - whether it's Billy Connolly or Bill Hicks or this fella. You feel buried under words. It's a very difficult thing to do right.
B made me laugh. It's a great moment in what is a very funny film.

Carlin’s clip was dull. I’m not a Catholic so I didn’t know what he was on about, but the audience liked it.
I used to love B&B-had great music on it sometimes.
I’ll give this to B

And people were putting my Simpsons clip down. Sheesh. Both are just ok, but GC tells a story quite well so...

The Carlin was a surprise. Not heard that sort of thing from him before. Never got into B&B - I don't even know which is which – so, even though it had its moment, I have to say

Nah, I've still never heard a piece of Carlin I've ever really liked, and this is no change. I guess the "pulling of pleasure" line was good, but it wasn't worth the four minutes of build up.
B was fucking dreadful.
