Leave it to an
Onion commentator to provide a perfect example of
cherry-picking, a common intellectual sin.
AND THE WINNER IS...
by grapplepieAmerica: Dane Cook, Ben Stiller, "Brat Pack", Bill Cosby
Canada: Jim Carrey, Mike Myers, Kids in the Hall
United Kingdom: Eddie Izzard, Monty Python crew, Ricky Gervais, Peter Kay, Edgar Wright & Simon Pegg
UK wins even if it does lose points for Rowan Atkinson
That's it, I'm moving
And leave it to another commentator to deliver the appropriate logical smackdown:
GRAPPLEPIE
by HunsweaselSure, we can all play that game:
America: Richard Pryor, The Marx Brothers, Woody Allen, Lenny Bruce
Canada: Red Green, Royal Canadian Air Farce
UK: Benny Hill, Bernard Manning, Ken Dodd
Looks like the U.S. takes it! Alternate version:
America: Wayne Flowers and Madame, Larry the Cable Guy
Canada: John Candy, Phil Hartman, Martin Short
U.K.: Bob Monkhouse, Jimmy Tarbuck
Oh Canada!
And thank you, Onion commentators.
