Leela Region: #7 The Hyperchicken vs #23 Slurms McKenzie

[on:]

Last time we saw Hyperchicken he mistook Shatner for corn, while we also saw Slurms deported Barbados Slim. In this battle of space chickens in space slugs, who'll come out on top? Discuss now and the poll will open tonight at midnight!

I'm gonna have to go with The Hyperchicken again. Fry and The Slurm Factory is a really funny episode and all, but not a whole lot of that comes from Slurms whereas The Hyperchicken makes the courtroom scene for me with his mistaking a small child for corn.

So, yeah, I'm voting for The Hyperchicken for basically the same reason as the last time I voted for him.

Even though he only featured in a single episode I still find Slurms to be a cooler and more appealing character than the Hyperchicken.

Slurm is a better character for sure. The Hyperchicken gets annoying too quickly at times.

I thought Slurms was okay for a one-time character, but I've never been all that thrilled by "Fry and the Slurm Factory." Meanwhile, I find the Hyperchicken hysterical, and though my affinity for them is certainly not attributable solely to him, I will say that every episode he appears in is one of my all-time favorites of the series.

This is the hardest choice I've had to make yet.  In the end, it boiled down to a catchphrase.

I love them both but I want for the Hyperchicken. I think it's because Hyperchicken is still alive..

I love Fry and the Slurm Factory, but there's nothing really compelling about Slurms' character. The Hyperchicken is kind of annoying and very flat, but he's had some funny lines.

Hyperchicken wins 10-9. Continue discussion in the General thread.
