Round 2 Match 7: Potpourri Division
McMonster vs. Mogwai!
The big purple shake huckster got a bit of an easy berth into round 2, facing an opponent unfamiliar with most of the panel. How will he fare against a stronger icon in Gizmo? Will the last champion of the Golden Arches fall before the "patient zero" of the Gremlin virus?
Round 2 Match 7: Animal Division
Jumpin' vs. Bumpkin!
The cultural resonance of Frogger was acknowledged last round. However, there was also a lot of sympathy for the kindly blue hound from the panhandle. Who will win the hearts of the panel this time?
Round 2 Match 7: Cute/Funny Division
Mister Battle!
He was extremely popular in Round 1, and his Great Space Coaster colleague has already g-nocked of the g-narly g-rrl Jem, but will Mr Line defeat the power of chocolate, nuts, AND caramel? Or will the dapper terrapin prove to be as formidable as that eraser in Mr. Line's cartoons?
Round 2 Match 7: Action Division
Chicken Quest Chapter 2?
So the little feathered warrior knocked off the big bad Megatron, but can he repeat? Is his momentum strong enough to overcome the undisputed ironic-coolness of Space Ghost?
Round 2 Match 6 Winners
Gonzo took the last member of the Riverbank gang out of the competition. Hmmm... two Canadian icons taken out by the muppet. So typical, we Canucks always underestimating the value of our own culture. | |
Newton won the horse race by a half-length at least. | |
Barbapapa and Casper proved to be the squash of the week, as the big Pepto Bismol coloured blob oozes his way into Round 3. | |
Hong Kong Phooey also moves on in a somewhat easy battle against Dynomutt. However, I think HKP will find his evil opponent (and his cat Dido) in Round 3 to be especially challenging. Will the big dog be able to survive the onslaught of.... Daedalus? Time will tell... |
