Fry Region: #6 Morbo vs #2 Zapp Brannigan

[on:]

Morbo and Zapp have easily eased past their competition in the prior three rounds. They've had a combined average of about 2 votes against them per round, versus the combined average of over 19 votes for them! This shall indeed be an interesting match-up! Discuss now and the poll opens tonight at midnight!

Very tough choice here, both are in fact very great characters that always enriched the episodes they were in. But then you haven't had an episode carried or even resolved around Morbo yet, sadly. He always just appeared as a minor character in the complexity of the episodes he was in. Sure he had some fantastic lines and moments, but yeah, Zapp can carry an episode on his own and contributed a lot of great plot points and character interactions on his own.

So in the end, for me it will be Zapp taking this round.

I am quite on the fence like Bend-err, but I too will have to say Brannigan.  His parody of science-fiction so much more interesting than Morbo's, even though Morbo is great as well.

Because, as Bend-err said, while Morbo has had some fantastic lines, Zapp have had even more fantastic lines.

Totally going with Zapp. I like Morbo but Zapp is definitely one of my favorite characters.

[Reply #4 on:]

Agreed.  I'd vote for Zapp simply based on his magnificently mangled metaphors alone.

Nobody can top The Zapper for me in this competition. He's the driving force behind several Original Run episodes and a major force in two of the Futurama movies, besides having the absolute best line in the first episode of the New Run. Wheeee!

The Zapper better win this thing overall, or I'm going to award Wiener the "biggest poopyhead" PEELie.

Zapp, if only because he's had more screen-time than Morbo--and, thus, more opportunities to dazzle us with his hilarious incompetence.

I am definitely on board with tnuk here. I would be very happy if Zapp won this whole thing. I'd be happiest if Professy won, but Zapp would be cool too.

So, I'm definitely voting for Zapp and his handsome velour uniform.

Morbo is awesome, but I want Zapp to win. They have a similar type and level of humor, but Zapp has more of it.

Why did I get such a tiny board? It's becoming crowded on here with all these people.

[Reply #10 on:]

Damned..I do not want any of them to leave by now. But -in direct confrontation- I'll have to go with Brapp Zannigan..

[Reply #11 on:]

Such a cruel match up here, neither should go, but Zapp is just too manly and sexy to vote off...

[Reply #12 on:]

I was gonna vote for Morbo, but just thinking about the Zapper makes me wanna vote for him for reasons that are weird and deeply confusing me...

[Reply #13 on:]

Hmm It's DOOOOOOOOM! or Johnny Bravo...
I'll think about it..

Agreed!

Voting for Morbo cause sometimes I just don't like Zapp.  Maybe this is because of ItGDL.

Zapp wins 20-4. Continue discussion in the General thread.
