Welcome to the opening round of the first ever Mirth Madness! After the dastardly success of Villain Madness we’re now pitting some of our favorite movie funnypeople against each other in a Karate Kid-like tournament without a wuss like Daniel LaRusso until all but one have died laughing! First up, we’re having a round of play-in matchups for four winners to move on to the tournament as 16 (bottom) seeds! It’s democratic! We’ll tally your votes for these fine humorists over the weekend and reveal the final field of 64 comedy gods on Monday, when the first round begins! So get comfortable on the edge of your seat and vote, VOTE, VOTE!

TODAY’S MATCH-UPS

WITHNAILvRAOULDUKE

 16. Withnail 16. Raoul Duke
Quote: “All right, this is the plan. We get in there and get wrecked, then we’ll eat a pork pie, then we’ll drop a couple of Surmontil-50’s each. That means we’ll miss out Monday but come up smiling Tuesday morning.” Quote: “We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers… Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we’d get into that rotten stuff pretty soon.”

TULLYvMELNITZ

16. Louis Tully  16. Janine Melnitz
Quote: “Gozer the Traveler. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!” Quote: “I’ve quit better jobs than this. Ghostbusters, what do you want?“

MCLOVINvNAPOLEON

16. McLovin  16. Napoleon Dynamite
Quote: “Seth, Seth, Seth. Listen up, ass-face: every day, hundreds of kids go into the liquor store with fake IDs, and every single one says they’re 21. Pssh, how many 21 year olds do you think there are in this town? It’s called fucking strategy, all right?” Quote: “You know, there’s like a boat-load of gangs at this school. This one gang kept wanting me to join because I’m pretty good with a bo staff.”

GASKOvGRISWOLD

16. Rick Gassko  16. Clark W. Griswold
Quote: “Well Mr. Thompson, that’s quite a list. And I think, if I really apply myself, I could be a totally changed person by the time we finish lunch!” Quote: “I think you’re all fucked in the head. We’re ten hours from the fucking fun park and you want to bail out. Well I’ll tell you something. This is no longer a vacation. It’s a quest. It’s a quest for fun. You’re gonna have fun, and I’m gonna have fun… We’re all gonna have so much fucking fun we’re gonna need plastic surgery to remove our goddamn smiles! You’ll be whistling ‘Zip-A-Dee Doo-Dah’ out of you’re assholes! I must be crazy! I’m on a pilgrimage to see a moose. Praise Marty Moose! Holy Shit!”

  1. My votes are in. If Dynamite makes it past this round into the tournament, I am going to boycott this entire thing and fling some doodoofeces your way.
