Febearary Fever: Bad News Bears vs Conan O'Brien Bear

by T.J. Shouse on Feb 15, 2012 8:56 AM CST in Poll

Today's matchup in Febearary Fever features a fictionalized team of foul-mouthed baseball youths (yutes?) vs a bear who gained notoriety on late night television for doing one thing very well.

The #3 Bad News Bears - the 70s versionled by Walter Matthau, not the dreadful remake with Billy Bob Thornton - were about as raunchy a group as could be dreamed up in the seventies. Their coach was a drunk, and this group of lovable losers included, in the immortal words of Tanner Boyle, "All we got on this team are a buncha [expletive-deleted], [racist word], [really racist], pansies, and a booger-eatin' moron!"

At #6 is the Conan O'Brien Bear. If you know the show, then you know what his real name is. The Bear was such an important piece of the show that Conan brought the bear over to TBS with him after his split with NBC, even though his former employer owned the rights to all his characters, including the Bear. For a quick video taste to see the bear's best "moves," click here.

Don't forget about: Baloo vs Little Bear, Charmin vs Snuggle, Pedo vs Gummi, Fozzy vs Sexual Harassment Panda, Winnie vs Gentle Ben, or Staley vs Grizz. Polls will begin closing seven days after they opened, so get your votes in!

Worse than a late-night host that combined all the worst features of Roseanne Barr, Donald Trump and Rosie O’Donnell.

I don't watch late night.

I’m not as old as Pete, Just Dave or Ed but late night isn’t the same without Carson and Ed McMahon. Letterman is ok but I think I only tolerate him since he’s from Indiana.

That's why I asked him if he's ever seen Jay Leno because that guy is just awful in every way possible!

by frenchbears113 on Feb 15, 2012 2:51 PM CST up reply actions

I figured.

I just wanted to point out that he’s the Michael Bay of the Late Night talkshow industry.

Well at least Michael Bay's dreck is somewhat entertaining. Watching Leno is like pouring molten hot lead into my eyes and acid in my ears.... Matter of fact I'd probably ask for the lead and acid if I were given the choice between Leno and torture!

by frenchbears113 on Feb 15, 2012 2:57 PM CST up reply actions

I disagree about Bay's work being entertaining.

He made one of the most iconic memories from my childhood into a heaping pile of donkey dung. And now… he’s decided that it was so bad, that he’s rebooting the movie series only five years after making the first (of three) films.

Was just as iconic for me too but I got chills seeing Optimus on the big screen.

You want painful? That awful 80’s version of He-Man starring Dolph Lundgren.

by frenchbears113 on Feb 15, 2012 3:09 PM CST up reply actions

Haha.

I actually just watched that again the other day.

What about G.I. Joe reboot?

I still can’t watch it, and won’t watch the new one (even though Die Hard himself is going to be “Joe”). I’ll take the 80’s cartoon movie with the terrible reveal at the end (really! C.O.B.R.A. is led by a literal one! ARGH!).

If its free, take two.

by T.J. Shouse on Feb 15, 2012 3:18 PM CST up reply actions

That's not as bad, to me.

At least it wasn’t filmed inside a washing machine filled with nuts and bolts.

Late night talk are bad

But each has a specific audience they cater to; Letterman is for aging hipsters, Leno is for the senior crowd, and Conan is for the younger crowd. Not everyones cup of tea, for sure. I watch Daily Show and maybe Colbert, thats it.

What did I vote for?

And yes, that link is totally safe for work.

When you go to somebody's house, you don't crap on their floor. Being a fan of one team does NOT give you license to be a dick to fans of another.

Corollary: When people are visiting your house and behaving themselves, them being a fan of a different team is NOT a reason for you to piss in their beer.
