Over some Hunan Chicken last night, my fiance and I got into a really odd argument.
**
In a fight, who would win: Paddington Bear or Corduroy? Why?**
I know this is a really odd question, but it could prove to be a fun thought exercise, and knowing the people here, it could get really interesting!
I never heard of Corduroy.
Coach Bryant would take em both in a fight, or start them in a wishbone backfield and win a national championship…
Paddington came from Darkest Peru. Corduroy came from a toy store. There’s obviously no contest here.
Corduroy is a teddy bear. Paddington is an actual bear, from Peru. Paddington Bear could rip Corduroy apart.
Though I’m having a hard time imagining a situation in which Paddington would be that bloodthirsty. Maybe if Corduroy stole his marmalade stash. Michael Bond could add another book to the series: Paddington Goes Postal.
What? Some rough and tumble bear straight from the jungles of Peru, with a penchant for “marmalade” and a disquieting understated tone, versus a stuffed bear who grew up in a department store? One with a missing button, no less?
No contest. 'Course, none of it would go down without the go ahead from C. George.
“Corduroy”?I had no idea WTF this was until I looked him up. What an insipid character/toy vehicle.
Wow, really?
It’s just a children’s story from 1968. It’s not like it’s Teddy Ruxpin or the Transformers or anything.
My vote was initially for Paddington, being that he is a real bear…but that Corduroy sure is clever. He’s got street smarts!
I was thinking Corduroy. He’s probably missing that button because he was all up in GI Joe’s business… scuffled a bit, and all said and done GI Joe went crawling to Barbie to kiss his boo-boos. Corduroy, on the other hand went back to the shelf, chilled and the next night went about his business finding the button. He’s cool, scrappy, tough, street savvy…
Paddington? He’s a pussy. He like Marmalade and cocoa. He lives in England. He addresses everyone as “Mister” and “Mrs.” etc. What does he do when he’s ticked off? He stares at people. Oooo. Scary. A stare.
Corduroy would kick Paddington’s foofy ass.
Yogi could eat them both for breakfast and a pic-a-nic basket for lunch.
Corduroy will win because I’ll kick the stuffing out of anyone who lays a hand on him. 
Yeah! And don’t get me started on the evil soulless marketing conception that is “The Velvetine Rabbit”!
What about Pooh?
Corduroy. He is a smart bear and knows how to manipulate things to his advantage. Besides the fact that he’s a city bear. Darkest Peru may be a dark and dangerous place, but they don’t have street gangs there do they?
Paddington would just sit around creating comic misunderstandings until Corduroy wiped him out.
