Round 1 Match 1

Insanity Calamity!
Daffy Duck: The schizophrenic, speech impeded, ever unpredictable mallard.
Elmo: The muppet champion of ADHD sufferers around the world.
Criteria: arguments could be based on almost any criteria here: historical significance, coolness, hand to hand combat, who has the shorter attention span, who would need their meds first, etc.
Will the more experienced duck paddle past the manic junior muppet? Vote now and decide their fate!

Comments:
I am going to have to throw my weight (and after the holidays it's a lot) behind Daffy in this round. Elmo, although trendy, does not have the longevity of other muppets in this competition - or Sesame characters in this round. Elmo's got the endorsement of Rosie, but that is completely offset by his annoying voice.

Daffy Duck is completely indestructable, having been shot at point blank range by shotguns, cannon blasts, falling from immeasurable heights and even being taken out by his own combat stick in what can only be considered one of the best pieces of prop comedy of all times ("Thrust, Parrie, @!#**@!").

You may find my vote desh-picable, however that catch phrase has been around a lot longer than that stupid giggle.
 
Okay so the search for the final Survivor continues. (for full explanation see match 2)

This was by far the hardest match. Let's face it - you would not want to live on an island with either of these characters. I have a feeling that they would be voted off within the first week, let alone make it to a merge.

Daffy is a fighter and tough - however somewhat clumsy which could bring you down in challenge. And since it is the American public voting, they are not tolerant of disabilities (speech).

Elmo is a puppet though, and the leader of the pack could pull his strings and get a faithful follower. However, he tends to turn only in circles and loses his balance easily. Not a great competitor.

All things considered I must go with Daffy.
 
Like the previous two voters, I will have to give the nod to Daffy.

What more can you say about a guy who fights martians, is shot by Elmer Fudd on a regular basis and is still walking.

Elmo, all he had to do was give 100 "rasberries" to get past the queen (although I would have given her rasberries for free....watch the movie)

Daffy over Elmo...1 - 2 - 3!

I'm in agreement - I mean, how old is Daffy...like 100 years old? Much more iconic - he's almost made of steel.

Who is the biggest pop culture icon here? Let's ask a baby?
The baby was mostly unintelligible and not very useful, however, i thought i did here the baby say something like "thufferin thuckatash." That seems like a sign to me and I have to vote daffy.
I've at least used some of his expressions before and to paraphrase. It's Elmo season...
 
i want an edit feature - hear not here
 
O-Bear picks Elmo because I watch Elmo on Treehouse every day
Because he do something funny makes me laugh.
