Who is the smarter, stronger, or more clever character?

HA!!!

Mailmen, which will annoy you the most or the least?

Cliff Clavin of Cheers, Sam Drucker of Green Acres, Newman of Seinfeld or Ruth-Anne Miller of Northern Exposure.

I’ll go with Sam, but he doesn’t deliver, so he is more of a post office attendant. (Same with Ruth-Anne, but wasn’t she kind of a busybody?)

Excuse me, sir, but Mr. Drucker is the local Postmaster, a much more prestigious title.

I’ve never seen Northern Exposure, but of the other three, I guess Sam Drucker would be the least annoying. That said, none of them inspire me with a great deal of confidence that I’m going to get my mail. Well, I mean, Sam might happen to find a letter for me thirty years after it fell back behind his desk.

I think Cliff was good about delivering the mail. Newman seemed less reliable.

Cliff to me was the most annoying, but Newman is quite possibly evil.

Ruth-Anne would probably be the least annoying to me.

Newman was incredibly
unreliable

NEWMAN: (Stands up) Too many people go their mail! Close to 80%. No body from the post office has ever cracked the 50% barrier! It’s like the 3-minute mile!

I don’t have to talk to Cliff if he’s my mailman. I do have to talk to Sam to pick up my mail. Advantage: Cliff

I haven’t seen either Cheers or Seinfeld recently, so from memory of years ago: I recall Cliff, perhaps mistakenly, as having a vibe of incompetence at being able to deliver mail correctly. I recall Newman as just being sheer ornery lazy on the job and hiding piles of mail so he wouldn’t have to go to the trouble of delivering it. If I’m misremembering, I’m happy to be corrected.

I’ve just finished a Green Acres binge, though, so I stand by what I said about Sam.

Cliff is an incompetent blowhard, but at least he means well. Newman, though… he’s pure evil.

Willie Lumpkin for the win, if you can stand the ear-wiggling.

Almost wish a T-Rex would eat him.

Would you settle for a pack of Dilophosauruses?

Bugs Bunny vs Superman (or, really, any character ever).

Bugs is indestructible and always wins once you’ve pissed him off enough and he comes for you. One way or another, Bugs will outsmart his opponent and humiliate them. Every time.

ETA: Not sure if Bugs or Road Runner would win. Sort of an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.

Unless you’re a turtle.

Dude! I’m right here.

Sean Dillon over James Bond.

Are you including Tara King or Venus Smith in that scenario? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Oh, yeah? Him and what army?

Quentin McHale might have fewer scruples than Jonas Grumby, and Charles Parker might be as bumbling as Willy Gilligan, but the first pair never lost a boat and wound up on a desert island!

I have no doubt that if we got a sequel to these Bugs would make a prison break and then get his revenge. :slightly_smiling_face:
