Round 1 Match 21
 |  |  |
Green and Bulky vs. White and Sparkly!
Hulk: The heroic Mr. Hyde. As far as a super-powerful unchecked Freudian Id goes, the big green guy is cool.
Mr. Clean: Enemy of dirt and grime, and champion to beleaguered house owners. A big sailor who sneaks into the house, charms the wife and then disappears. Hmmm...
Criteria: Mr. Clean and the Hulk are roommates. Mr. Clean has just cleaned the apartment in seconds (complete with the animated sparkles). Hulk comes home grumpy and hungry for the leftover chili and red wine in the fridge. Discuss

I am going to have to back Mr. Clean for this competition. He was a man among men in an era when women did most of the domestic chores.
He didn't mind cleaning. He wore an earring. He shaved his head. He had forearms as big as Popeye's (that will be a great match-up with the criteria being an arm wrestle).
I bet most of you know his jingle. Mr. Clean has stood the test of time and although some would think that he would be my mortal enemy as our belief system when in comes to cleaning are complete opposites I toss a crumb-laden vote behind him.

Mr. Clean or Mr. Green.
I believe that The Hulk commands top billing and a bigger piece of the pie according to the Screen Actor's Guild (due mostly to Cue-Ball's inclination to only accept 'silent on camera' roles).
Shouldn't he also win this match-up?

Wait...a guy that can clean my bathroom over a guy that can take out anybody who fucks with me?
You're kidding.
You're kidding.
Mr. Clean impresses (and probably gets) way more women than the anger-ridden big guy.
Screw machisioism...it's the sensitive guy who can connect with a women at the bacterial level that wins every time.

Although I voted for Kirk because he can and does pick up anything that moves, just because Mr. Clean is a hit with the women doesn't mean he'll clean up in this match.
Just because he's got muscles, an earring and no hair that doesn't mean that he'd live up to Hulk. A man with a "cute" jingle that doesn't talk and has stars floating around him is suspect in my books.
Not only is he the Hulk, he's the INCREDIBLE Hulk, aptly named for any number of reasons.

I see my first loss of the game looming in the form of a large green anti-hero...
What's incredible is that I lasted this long without a loss. He was 13th out of fifteen picks, so please no grief with the choice.

I like the jingle angle - that Mr. Clean's "clean your house..." is so well-known, but I often sing to myself about "Doc Bruce Banner belted by gamma rays..."
So, despite my gut feelng that the Hulk is NOT the most iconic in this overall battle, in this one there is no contest. Hulk smash.

Back in the days where I lived as a starving student with a really old tv, no cable and no remote, Mr Clean commercials annoyed me enough to get off the couch and change the channel.
Therefore the Hulk must win.
