***
Venkman's story in this tournament is a story of pairs - defeated two HIMYM characters, two Eddie Murphy roles, and two Princess Bride characters who were threatening to go all the way. How will he fare against his first opponent predating his decade?

After almost going out at the beginning to a Clerks 2 character (!!), Kramden has rallied to power his way through a bracket region of solid but not iconic characters. Can his genre-defining status get past Bill Murray's most beloved role?

VOTE!

The Honeymooners is over 60 years old yet still makes me laugh out loud regardless of many times I've seen the episode.

Venkman is a great character in a terrific ensemble piece but doesn't have the staying power of Kramden.

I am dman near went Venkman, but weighing the historical importance and lasting comedic power of Ralph Kramden, I had to pow Venkman right in the kisser.
