I'm honestly not sure what we're supposed to find funny in B. I didn't smile, let alone laugh.
Not enough Palin in A, but still enough to win

B is all about context...The humor comes from watching the movie up until that point...Might have gone with the photocopy machine sequence instead ...A is humorous in dry sort of way...ugh...Going to Vote B ...It's getting trounced in any case...

Both need context for the humor to make much sense, and hence seem odd choices - neither are much worthy of a laugh on their own. But I've seen the entirety of Office Space and have never been as amused by it as everyone's always told me I should be. A has a dryness to it that I at least suspect would have some humor value were I more familiar with the characters. I guess that's enough, but not a terribly exciting draw.

A is full of great lines "he was allowed to have saunas instead of prayers" and Ian Olgilvy was the perfect school bully. I didn't really understand B which was just a long montage sequence which seemed to be about the plot of the film.

Yeah, A here. B has its silly moments, like bringing the fish to work, but doesn't have enough power on its own. A is a good scene from a great series, and it helps that Palin was one of the greatest comedic talents ever for me.

another A: one of the Best Ripping Yarns, even though they weren't a patch on Python.

The set-up is actually a lot funnier than the sketch in A, there's not much to it after the first 25 seconds. But those 25 seconds were good.
B is mystifying.
