Topic: Paul Pain's Stooge Short Tournament - Preliminary Round 3

[Paul Pain]

Here we go!  Pick your favorite short from each pair (or triplet)!  The ones with most votes advance to the fourth preliminary round.  For your benefit, I have linked the discussion to each respective short from metaldams' reviews.   These are seeded in order by ThreeStooges.net ratings.  The winner of of Bracket 1 goes onto be seed 127 in the big board, and the winner of Bracket 2 goes on to be 128.  If we have enough fun with this, maybe we can push these brackets long enough to achieve an order of 1-190 by these methods? 

Edit: in case of a tie, both shorts advance, and there will be three shorts squaring off based on where the lower ranked short would have been.

Final results for Preliminary Round 3 are in!  I have a feeling I know which short is winning each bracket, and I don't care for either one when compared to the other three!    Every set in Bracket 1 was not won by the high-ranked short.
