Ooo... tough decision. The 2-pager where the whole thing is a parody of a Monty Python sketch (with references to 2 or 3 others), or the 4-pager where Miko is first unveiled?

How to choose, how to choose.

136, I choose you! ::pika::

What can I say? I have to go for the comedy.

[Darkxarth]

As great as #136 is, what with its Monty Python goodness, #200 is just incredible in terms of plot, action, and art. Well done and one of the best strips.

[Studoku]

So hard to decide...

200 is just plain epic but 136 has the Monty Python references and since I just (literaly 10 minutes ago) watched the sketch that it's based on, i'm voting for 136.

Monty Python For The Win!

[Oppolo]

Honestly, Monty Python jokes aren't that great... and this one wasn't the best one ever. I find it hard to believe it even got the top of the 50, I'm voting Miko. PLOT for the win!

[Scudboy]

Must ... vote ... against ... recycled ... python

[Avatar God]

Oof! One is funny, and one is just awesome. Both very good, but in very different ways.

200, and not just because it quotes Herman's Hermits. Such a good start to the story arc...

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

When it comes to D&D, epicness topples comedy. 200 has my vote.

[Alysar]

Honestly, Monty Python jokes aren't that great...

BURN THE WITCH!

[bluewind95]

Well, 136 is very funny. But 200 has a lot more action and plot and it introduces an important character. So that's the one that has my vote.

[moleytov]

It's one of those almost impossible to call ones. But I'm with the python camp. Shear brilliance in the usurping and imitation of classic comedy. An entertainment 101. Whilst a great strip, 200 is just that - a strip. It has the thor punchline but that is all that really did it for me in that. True it is a great piece of plot - but their are better examples throught the strip which are up for winning.

"I think you're drifting into another sketch, sir". Priceless.
:smallcool:

[RationalGoblin]

Well, 136 is very funny. But 200 has a lot more action and plot and it introduces an important character. So that's the one that has my vote.

Hello to you also!

And yeah, I have enough Monty Python when I quote the movie every 5 seconds. So, I'll have to go with epicness.

[happyturtle]

Meh. Neither one really embodies what I love about oots. There are so many others in the hundred I like a lot more.

[Geilan]

:roy:Glaive-glaive-guisarme-glaive

That whole part nearly made me laugh as hard as when:

:elan:Roy has boobies

[Thornin Darkeye]

136 definatley

[Nazzo, the 102nd]

Meh. Neither one really embodies what I love about oots. There are so many others in the hundred I like a lot more.

I know, I feel that way too. But I wouldn't break my own rules. :smallbiggrin:

And this must be the first voting thread that has been an amazing success right on the start. Wow. Way to go, people. Way to go. :smallwink:

[Sir_Norbert]

With my vote (for #200, everyone's already said the reasons so well that I shan't add to them) things are currently EXACTLY LEVEL. What an epic vote!

My personal favourites from this hundred were #103 and #138. But #200 easily beats the crowd to take third spot.

[BardicLasher]

My favorite from 100-200 is 150b, which, sadly, doesn't get included in the votes.

Similarly, my favorite of the first hundred is Schroedinger's Ninja.

[Quietus]

Close call, but I'm going to have to give this one to #200 - they're evenly matched in enjoyment value, but 200 wins out because if I sit and reach both five times, it retains MORE enjoyment value.

[Nazzo, the 102nd]

Seems that #200 got a big advantage now.

Wonder if Miko lovers are too much for the Monty Python camp. :smallbiggrin:

[Dabble]

While I greatly enjoyed the humor of #136, I feel you have to go with #200 as it is a more important part of OOTS as a whole vs a joke strip.

[Tawkis]

#136 just cause.

[Avatar God]

My favorite from 100-200 is 150b, which, sadly, doesn't get included in the votes.

Similarly, my favorite of the first hundred is Schroedinger's Ninja.150b?

And the Belkar/ninja one was awfully good...

[Setra]

I've seen that sketch too many times, so I will have to vote for #200

[phobiandarkmoon]

200 is a good piece of plot, that exposed Miko for the first time and do a lot of exposition. And you know what? It wasn't really funny. I wasn't pleased to see it win the top 10, let alone the top 50, so I'm voting Python

[Krytha]

136 is just too much cribbing to win an award. How much work do you think it takes to adapt a fully written, funny sketch from a well known source of entertainment? 200 is a good solid ORIGINAL comic.

-I also noted that many people refer to 136 as the "monty python one" or something similar. It seems theyre voting for the sketch more than an oots comic... -

[Klev]

Hard one Comedy X Plot.

Going for....plot

[Haruspex]

I've never watched the sketch which #136 is supposedly based on, so there really was no choice for me. #200 is it.

[AlisdairM]

Much as I love python and #136 is a nice homage, I come here for OOTS goodness and the Giant's own creation. It feels wrong to say the best of 100 comics is not really the Giant's sketch, but a copy of something else.

I vote #200 and Giant all the way!

(although as expected, neither of the top 2 feature in my personal top 10!)
