Icon-o-clash 3: The "Real-World" Edition

Q-Bert! Oh how i loved my Q-Bert mini terminal video game. The little orange Snorkel-like guy gets my vote over the Lucky Charms guy for sure (how many times can you change the marshmallow shapes and colours anyway?)
 

Firstly, Jon is on crack! If all the Irish have going for them is a drunken day in March, and a cereal mascot then they are a sorry sorry lot indeed... Positive Irish role model?... only if you are working for the dental industry. PLUS, there are never enough of the marshmellows to outweigh the f(l)avour-less cereal bits.

Q bert Rocks! Jumping around in that weird angular way, doging those balls. Then at the higher levels different colours and you had to hit each square a certain number of times...OOH good times.

what about eating lucky charms WHILE drinking Irish Whiskey?
Jon, I think we've found our refreshments for tomorrow night!!
 

And what is wrong with a good drunken icon? like me lucky chum? Speaking as a descendant of an Irishman (and women...Coleman means "Little Dove" in Gaelic) and a descendant I suppose of an African (tracing our mitochondria, the cell's power house, where the chromosomes of our mothers and grandmothers remain intact aren't we all from Africa?) although I'm not sure what that has to do with anything (wait...hold on...gotta wrestle with a screw top)...where was I? Yes, as a descendant of an Irish-person (sex! thank you!) I say (mmmmm Mike's Hard Lemonade Cranberry...spoken like a "little dove" if I do say so myself)...anyway, it's NOT about taste! DAMNIT! More sugar! As an Irish-dood and a proud fat North American we must combine NOT ONLY our sugars but our alcohol! And I predict Lucky Charms will have an ironic kick of their own (and I don't mean a diabetic rush as you jab the insulin needle in your arms for every spoonful!) ohhhhh noooo...what a wicked Lepper you are, sir. NO. I predict we'll be adding all sorts of nasty pharmacopia to ol' Lucky Boy in future. AND IF THIS IS A FUTURE YOU WISH TO BE A PART OF...I say throw your hat into the ring with me, my pretties.
 

Q*Bert has better dialogue:

*%$#!

Down with one more corporate marketing ploy!
 

Is there a winner - I really don't think so! An elf with a high voice of some creature that I don't even recognize?

Q-Bert's (uphill sometimes) quest for exploration and uncovering new ground speaks to the adventurer in me. Also, breaking into different planes of maneuverability for joystick/keyboard is never easy.

A vote for the QB.
 

Oh boy i remember my first bowl of Lucky charms. I went with my mom shopping one day and asked her to get me that box of lucky charms that looked OH so delicious on the commercials i had seen so many times on my favorite tv shows. So after some begging and pleading, my mom reluctantly got me the box, giving me the speech that i had to eat it all.

I was so excited to finally try this cereal that the animated children were trying so hard to get off of poor lucky.

The moment we got in the door from our shopping excursion, I tore the box of Lucky Charms open, and poured a big bowl of cereal for myself.

Needless to say, at the end of my rainbow there was no pot of gold. Hearts, stars, clovers, horseshoes and blue moons. Pots of gold, rainbows, and Me red balloons... Bullshit.
There was nothing more than a box full of disgusting off color hardened bits that they were trying to pass of as marshmallows. They looked nothing like the bubbly vibrant ones that the keloggs corporation had advertised.

That was the first and last bowl of lucky charms i ever had.

ANYWAYS, for this dissapointing moment in my childhood, My vote is for the crazy Qbert!

Oops... General mills... Not Kelloggs. :P

First off, those magical charms are that of General Mills, not the great King Kellogg.

Myself as a sugary cereal fanatic would normally have to go with the magically dilicious lucky. But then again, It's not about Lucky's product but really who he is that matters.

Is him and or his product really magically delicious?

Check this out!

An independant study completed at the University of Vermont shows that Lucky Charms, the popular breakfast cereal produced by consumer foods company General Mills, may not in fact be "magically delicious". Instead, the study contends that the reason the cereal is delicious is the combination of complex sugars and additives.

Is lucky a FRAUD?
YESS,
BERTY FOR THE WIN!
