Round 1 Match 11: Potpourri Division


Afternoon TV Antagonist Battle!

The Noid: The scourge of any Domino's Pizza delivery person.

The Whammy: The scourge of any contestant on the game show, "Press Your Luck".

Round 1 Match 11: Animal Division


Frog Battle!

Dig 'Em: One of a long series of sponsors for Sugar Smacks/Honey Smacks. Anyone think that a cereal called "Sugar Smacks" would get passed through the children's groups today? Might as well call it "Kiddie Crack".

Frogger: The car-dodging, alligator-riding protagonist of the popular 80's video game. Similar to most of its era, there was no plot, or backstory, or change in scenery. Just the same thing each level, only faster.

Round 1 Match 11: Cute/Funny Division


Clash of the Literary Titans!

Max: The protagonist of Where The Wild Things Are, which stands up even today as a great children's book. Max was mischievous and had monster friends. Pretty formidable foe.

Petit Prince: Everyone who didn't know this character from their youth eventually confronted him in advanced French class.

Round 1 Match 11: Action Division


Space-Age Hero Battle!
Rocket Robin Hood: The hero of Sherwood Asteroid. In hindsight, his adventures were fairly short, once you edit out the incessant vignettes and chorus songs in between the chapters. However, most recognize those refrains even today, ("Band of brothers, marching together, heads held high in all kinds of weather...")

Brown Hornet: The hero of Fat Albert and the Cosby kids. The adventures of the Brown Hornet usually contained the moral message of each Fat Albert episode. Memorable also in that the narrator would simply throw away whatever cliffhanger trap the Brown Hornet was in from the previous chapter, and state that he had "escaped the clutches of the hideous fang-beast" and was now back in his spaceship.

Round 1 Match 10 Winners

Matty Mouse enjoyed a landslide victory and twitches his way closer to icon immortality! Today's Special is dealt another blow, knocking it out of the tournament.

Grimace moved on to the next round in an almost landslide, proving that drug-cultured imagination is no match for the power of the golden arches.

The only true contest this week ended in a tie-breaking decision for the good patriarch of Smurfland, Papa Smurf.

Gazoo was seen sulking in the corner claiming the judge is a "dum-dum".

Space Ghost vanquishes his competitor Birdman to move on to the next round.

Harvey Birdman, however, plans to appeal the decision and get it reversed.
