Round 1 Match 4
 |  |  |
Big Bird: Watch some "Sesame Street". Now watch some "Friends". Phoebe's a rip-off right?
Littlest Hobo: A pretty enduring theme song kept this hound in our consciousness for many years. His adventures usually involved pulling little kids out of mildly smoldering warehouses.
Criteria: I would love to hear combat scenarios involving these two. How about a spelling bee? Or a race around the block, (the bird gets to wear the roller skates of course). Will the down-to-earth nomadic hero win out over the yellow ostrich with his head in the clouds? You decide!

So I continue with my discussion on who would win at a game of Survivor (slow day at work)
Okay I do not know the littlest hobo well, so I basing this discussion on German Sheppard vs giant canary.
German Sheppard's are smart dogs, leaders - with a bit of a mean streak. Actually, the ideal traits for a final four survivor (although there is that alliance of 5 to overcome).
A big canary that is annoyingly happy's only virtue is the possiblity of a big meal when you need protein.
So, assuming it is an island of plenty...
Little Hobo continues.

Okay, Big Bird vs. Hobo in a tag team match...
The ref starts the match, Big Bird flies out the ring, tags Snuffleupagus who struggles over the ropes, wraps his trunk around the mutt and slams him hard into the mats near the corner. The dog desperately looks for his partner to tag, but wait, there's nobody there. That's right, he's a loner with no friends.
The hairy elephant pins him under his immense bulk and the ref calls the match, pronouncing the bird and friend victorious.
The little sheppard, head down, tail between his legs, trots up the centre aisle out of the arena, stopping just once to give a forlorn backwards glance at the ring and thinking "maybe tomorrow..."
Big Bird wins the battle through the strength of the bonds of friendship. Then slips and breaks a hip.

Having been a fan of both shows, I think I will have to give the Hobo the nod. Big Bird has size and as the last poster mentioned, friends to help out BUT.... the littlest hobo always seems to find a way out.
Do you remember the episode when he was locked in the closet, with a door on the handle to give it extra support? Or what about the time he jumped from the window in the barn to get out and ended up body slamming the bad guy...that was a good 20 feet.
No, I think that the Littlest Hobo will make mince meat of Big Bird and his invisible partner Snuffleupagus and anyone else that they bring on.
Go Hobo Power

Being slightly terrified of both of these icons (go back and check out the posted photos - terrifying!), I have to go with the one I'd be more okay being trapped in an elevator with. The Hobo takes it - because not only would he keep me company, he could help me escape. I'd be afraid that the big canary may crush me (or peck me) to death.

Not a huge fan of either of these, but the bird did have his own movie and way more product on the shelves - another important consideration of icon status in my opinion.
Littlest Hobo was really boring to me and Big Bird meant Sesame Street, which was anything but.
Have to go with the bird.

OK so my vote for this one has got to be BIG BIRD. And it's all because the yellow fluff made a trip to China and taught me how to use chopsticks. I am forever in your debt.

O-bear picks the doggy because he doesn't do things funny to me and I really like kitty cats with dogs.
