202 Scanning... (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0202.html)
226 Who's On the Throne? (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0226.html)

[anyone]

226 for me, please.

[Nazzo, the 102nd]

I stick with my vote. #202.

[anyone]

I think you made a mistake with the time when the poll ends, or well it really end in one Minute?

[O.T.R]

I vote 226 because original humour is so pre-postmodernism


202 for me please. Where's the debate?

[squidthingy]

202 you ethnocentric bitch

[Kurald Galain]

226 stands. It's a classic.

[Surfing HalfOrc]

202. It sets the stage very early on that Belkar and Miko will end up throwing down!

[dogmac]

202 still. 226 I thought was one of the weaker ones.

[commander43]

226, one of the funniest ones.

[Shott]

202. No comment.

[tr5]

226, it's a lot funner to people who haven't read oots before.

[Damastes]

226 - It is just great...

[happyturtle]

202 .......

[Zicmu]

226 :smallsmile:

[Lord Edward]

226 for me.

[majestic]

#202, of course.

[TroyXavier]

Sticking with 202

[David Argall]

And I stick with my vote for 226.

[Sampi]

202 for me. Can't beat the lead sheet, even with a king. Or a democracy.

[gusk]

226 for me.

[Megalomaniac2]

202. All hail the sheet!

[psychoticbarber]

226.

And who's on first?

[Glyde]

202 for me. <3

[Lavidor]

:smallsigh: 270 didn't make it.
202 Scanning. No question

[mockingbyrd7]

226 for me, and here's why:

202 is a boring strip with an awesome punchline, while 226 is insanely funny all the way through. It's one of the only strips (along with 387 and a couple others) where I never stopped laughing as I read it.

226 226 226 226

[Mad Wizard]

I'll vote for 202.

[Emperor Ing]

202. As I said 3 times,
Etnocentric b*tches FTW!! :smallbiggrin:

[Nazzo, the 102nd]

I think you made a mistake with the time when the poll ends, or well it really end in one Minute?

All I have to say about it is:

Oops. :smallwink:

[YohanLeafheart]

202 because it shows how halflings have strange cultures :D

[Vargtass]

It is still 226.

[Zvendels]

202 !

[blackspeeker]

definately 202

[Studoku]

I vote 226

[AlisdairM]

As I said first time rould, I'll vote for the OOTS strip when voting 'Best of OOTS'. It can only be 202.

Abbot and Costello are definitely tops on the humour list, but they are not OOTS.

[Wrecan]

226!!!!!!!!!!

[Green Bean]

I have to go with 226 on this one, mainly because of my love of the works of Abbot and Costello.

[Chronos]

202, for reasons explained in the other thread. 226 is recycled humor.

[Lira]

I vote for 202.

[Twilight Jack]

Tough call. After much deliberation, I'll put my vote in for 202. As much as I love 226, I can't vote for the Abbot and Costello tribute strip. I'll go for the original joke over the send up.

[Icewalker]

226, I find it way better.

[TRM]

202.
I laugh out loud every time at Roy's first line (O.K, I'm a pervert) and Belkar is awesome (as usual).

[orange]

I support the original humour rhetoric.

202

[mockingbyrd7]

So far it's 24 votes for 202 and 16 votes for 226... too bad. :(

[KSA]

202 - That sheet of lead turned into a great running gag,. I practically died when he knocked her out with it later on, so I've got to give some love to the original.

[Carnus]

202

Why? Who cares it's my vote =D

[Generic PC]

202. Im not telling you why. ok, i will... Its because of the fact that 226, like many others have noted, is not exactly original.

[Shadic]

I'll vote for 202, I suppose.

[PaladinFreak]

226. Just 226. Nothing else to say.

[Aethir]

202 for the scanning.

[Mobius Stripped]

I prefer 226.

[boiled bones]

202, easily.

[Actana]

226 all the way.

[TheKnifeofTrust]

202. No Contest.

[Mr.Ace]

I will choose the fantastic #202.

Has two of my three favorite characters-Miko and Belkar, on top of that, it's hilarious.

:miko: and :belkar:!

[phobiandarkmoon]

How did 202 get this far? It's not that funny

226, by a long, long, long way

[kabbor]

226, but I know I'm on the loosing side.

I guess it was a battle between the crowd that thought that 226 was the most amusing thing available, but thought it derivative, and those that thought that 226 was the most amusing and didn't care.

I know!! I'll have to go find the original work that 202 is based on. It sure sounds like language used in South Park promotions.

[Sir_Norbert]

Still 226. Enough Belkar already!

[Otoserdan]

I vote for #202.

[The Vorpal Tribble]

202 beats the other without even trying.

[LM TR]

-------202

[Almighty Salmon]

Definately 202

[Tal9922]

226. Nice go with the puns there

[David Argall]

I clearly do not understand.
I didn't think 202 was the best of the final 4
I didn't think 202 was the best of the 25
I didn't even think it was the best of the 5.
What am I missing?

[mockingbyrd7]

I agree with you, but the "stop oppressing my culture, you ethnocentric bitch!" line is more popular than all of 226 put together, somehow. Sigh...

(That said, it is a great line, but really, come on. Boring strip with awesome punchline, or a strip that is hilarious all the way through? There's no competition in my mind.)

[Lavidor]

Neither did I, but it beats 226.

[Tower]

202
226 is better, but it's not an OotS joke, therefore not the best of OotS

[Scudboy]

202. I voted against the monty python tribute episode too.

[Shott]

*casts protection from Flame* Honestly, I get more annoyed by 226 than anything.

[Kamakazee_Gnome]

I'm voting #202

[David Argall]

202
226 is better, but it's not an OotS joke, therefore not the best of OotS

Depending on definition, ...
a) there is no such thing as an OOTS joke because every joke in the comic is lifted from this or that source or sources. [There has not been an original joke in several thousand years.]
b) 226 is very much an OOTS joke because it has been adapted to fit with the comic.

[DarthMauler64]

202 is my favorite

[Spiryt]

I prefer 202.

226 is overally big good joke, but lead sheet is one quick jump into the history of OotS.

[kukn]

226, nice word-work and it's a bit different from the previous hundred winners. Scanning is good though, so I won't mind if it wins instead.

[dish]

Am I too late? Can't tell what the forum default time is. Anyway, if not: 226.

[Jamie Fameflame]

I vote 226, can't vote for replica-humour...

[Ithekro]

#226 amuses me more.

[Jarwy]

I vote for "Scanning" if there's still time. :smallamused:

[Tower]

Let me refine that
It is not a joke I originally heard in the context of the comic strip, therefore while it may or may not be original, 202 is an OoTS joke.
226 is an imported and adapted joke that while still good, is like importing and adapting Druss the Legend into a D&D universe.
Awesome idea and still cool, but not original.

[Sir_Norbert]

I will be very very very very very very very very sad if 202 wins. Remember that before you vote.

[boomwolf]

202 naturally...

how did 226 get all the way up here anyway?

[Nazzo, the 102nd]
