Here we go! It's all come down to this. General consensus is that puppet shows rock. Which one is the best? Kermit and Piggy's hinted at pork love? (And does that hurt his Jewish street cred?) Bert and Ernie's behind-the-scenes X-rated evenings?

The poll will open on Monday morning. In the meantime, use this thread for discussion.

MUPPET show. Not PUPPET show. There's a difference you Goddamned philistine. Puppets are not muppets.

I'm gonna vote for the definition of marionette + puppet.

[Krydor]

Mop+Puppet

From dictionary.com - definition of "puppet"

From Urbandicationary.com

Puppet
High school skanks who let their 23 year old boyfriends insert their hands inside their nasty "vaginas" in a puppet like fashion.
And enjoy it.
And then tell all their friends.
So they become the subject of ridicule from Fetus Beaters.

"That skank is a real puppet"
-Fetus Beater

OK it was the 3rd definition but it was the best.

We made an exception for him.

Bert and Ernie's behind-the-scenes X-rated evenings?

Keep going, Tex is about to rub one out.

A muppet is a marrionette/puppet. I'm sorry. You can quote whatever online dictionary in 2007 you want. Find me the bastard who defined it as such BEFORE Henson. Muppets are particulars, ya bastard. And since both shows are specifically Jim Henson trademarked "Muppet" creations... well duh.

Go play with your Go Bots.



Someday, I'll grow up to be like Krydor.

[Krydor]

This presupposes that I am actually grown up.

[Lucky]

No it doesn't. Just means I'm less grown up than you. Its like a kindergartener wishing to be like the cool kids in 5th grade.

[Chris Eco]

May I just say...I'm really glad it came down to these two. Whoever wins, wins. I might stay out of the voting even.

[Loki]

OPEN FOR BUSINESS!!!!

[Krydor]

Going for the Muppet Show.

[Jack Quinn]

I am gonna go with Sesame Street just for the educational value. When kids learn without realizing they are learning you are doing something right.

[Lucky]

I still don't have a single vivid memory of enjoying Sesame Street. Is it an institution? Yes. Is it educational? Yes. Is it an important show that has been part of generations? Yes. Did I ever actually enjoy it? Not that I recall.

[Krydor]

That's because it was too fast paced for you. I suspect that Mr. Rogers was more your speed.

I'm as big a fan of the Muppet Show as there is, but anyone who doesn't vote for Sesame Street is pretty much retarded.

[williamssl]

Amen.

But then again we have proven multiple times and beyond any reasonable shadow of doubt that Puboards are overpopulated with retards (not that there's anything wrong with that). Some permanent. Some occaisionals. But always a retard (not that there's anything wrong with that) abundance.

Note to self: Add Dead Milkmen's "Driving Retards to the Zoo" to ipod when get back home from business trip.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

I don't think voting Muppets makes you retarded. This is a worthy finals and either is a sound choice. I voted Sesame because I still count like the Count and sing like Cookie Monster. Plus I remember watching Sesame more then Muppets. But right now if I wanted to watch one of the shows I'd probably go watch the Muppets. Both are worthy choices. I'm glad to see it is really close.

[The Canadian Content]

Hey, don't get me wrong, the Muppets was an amazing show, and I'm really happy to see it in the finals. Either way this final turns out, I'm happy.

What I meant by the "retarded" comment was that, while Muppets was an awesome show, nothing should be able to stand up to the juggernaut that is Sesame Street.

[National Champion Chris Cole]

And I'm saying I think you are wrong. I think both are on the same level. Again I voted Sesame but I think the margin between the shows is much smaller then you view it.

[Krydor]

I went with the Muppets. The redeeming thing about Sesame Street was muppets. Why go for a show that is now 90% Elmo, 5% live action and 5% classic SS? Just go for the Muppets in all their Muppety glory.

Today's Sesame Street is not YOUR Sesame Street.

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Neither are today's Muppets.
