nothing there. not even a grin. ABSTAIN As blinkered in the sense of humour department as you are in the music one, eh skopey? A shame. what do you want me to do, flange? i sit and watch and there's nothing there for me in either clip. a grin, a smirk is all i need to cast a vote. i watched both of these clips stony-faced. i cannot be seen to reward either.

I rarely find that kind of musical number funny, although I can appreciate it's clever. I enjoyed B, a great George moment and it made me chuckle, especially the aggressive way he shut Jerry down. BYeah, I'm not a fan of musical comedy songs really. B is VERY Seinfeld and is, of course, funnier if you like the show and understand its "concept" (ooo, meta) but some nice lines (go to Vienna) and George who's wonderful. b

Sod the fart scene in Blazing Saddles, A was much funnier than that. Loads of excellent Jewish jokes , the nuns turning into Esther Williams Clones, the pastiche of her movies and Busby Berkeley's - the image of the synchronised swimmers being hoisted up on a giant menorah especially good... And it comes up against a scene from one of my favourite run of episodes of Seinfeld, from when the show really took off for me. Judged just as a clip, though, rather than a representative of a great unfolding storyline, it's not enough to beat Brooks's complete, self-contained number.

..Er and what are you actually voting for Sloop! He seems to be leaning towards "A"...

A: Dayodead 6 B: Pop 6
I didn't count Sloop's post because he didn't leave a vote, although he posted a lot of vids.

A: Dayodead 6 B: Pop 6 I didn't count Sloop's post because he didn't leave a vote But he DID say A 'This is the kind of thing where Brooks' screwball parodies of musicals worked perfectly'. And B 'The other episode I watched was Fatigues, which has much funnier scenes than this episode'. so perfect vs not as funny as it might have been.

I understand that, but people need to make their vote clear rather than rely on their comments to be interpreted.
