  • The heartthrob of millions!
Here we go!  Pick your favorite short from each pair (or triplet)!  The ones with most votes advance to the Round of 16.  For your benefit, I have linked the discussion to each respective short from metaldams' reviews.   These are seeded in order by ThreeStooges.net ratings.    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?  [pie] [3stooges] ;) ::)

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.

Talbot's body is the perfect home for the Monster's brain, which I will add to and subtract from in my experiments.

And the results are in!  I am surprised by some winners and not surprised by the rest.  It's interesting to see how people rate two shorts as compared to each other as I find myself sometimes a bigger fan of a short that I rated lower than its opponent.  There were several ties in this round.

My #1, Uncivil Warriors, bit the dust. Anyone else in the same boat, that their personal #1 was eliminated?

The only eyebrow raiser for me is Scrambled getting ousted by We Want Our Mummy...   :(

If y'all have noticed, there's a decided bias toward Curly shorts going on here.

Maybe, but Arabian Nuts over Tassels puts a big dent in that theory.  Must be an anomaly.
