Ten Hypothetical Conundrums for the Ages

BettyHeader.jpg -OR - VeronicaHeader.jpg

Did you all happen to see Scara's post last month on the recent Betty and Veronica makeover? If you did, you may have been wondering things like...Whose dumb idea was that? Or, how could they even discuss changing such classic characters. As for me, I was thinking...sure, Veronica's got the bad girl thing, but you know it's the wholesome ones that get all freaky. Yeh, I'd definitley go with Betty.

So, I'm not the poster boy for Mensa...so sue me. But don't act like you've never thought the same thing. Whether it's Betty or Veronica, Monica or Rachel, or Velma or Daphne, every once in a while you see a pair of characters and wonder, would it be her...or her. Hell, it's even got it's own name. So, I thought I'd pick ten classic cases, and turn them into our latest list...The Top Ten Who Would You Rather Do Scenarios in entertainment history.

60 Minutes...Dateline...20/20. You can have your so-called "important" stories. But when it comes to asking the really tough questions, just know that YesBut is here answer the call...let's begin.

Jeannie or Samantha
JeannieFight.jpg - OR - SamanthaFight.jpg
I know what you're thinking...Jeannie wins hands down. Beautiful woman, great body, grants all your wishes...your basic trifecta. Then I remember the show...What are you doing, master? Where are you going, master? Who is that girl you're with, master? Put them all together and you've got I'll just keep your penis in this bottle until you return, master. That's right, I said it...Major Nelson was the first pussy-whipped character in television history. (Then again, there was always that other possibility.) Anyway, that's the reason I think this one is really close. (Although...Jeannie WAS really, friggin' hot.)


Betty Rubble or Judy Jetson
BettyRFight.jpg - OR - JudyFight.jpg
You ever notice how Betty's got that serious shake when she laughs? You know where I'm going with this, right? A little cactus cola and some bug music, and she'll start barking louder than dino. I also think Judy's underage. and that's just sick. So this round goes to Betty. Now, if you wanted to talk about Jane...that's a whole other story.


Marcia Brady or Laurie Partridge
BradyFight.jpg - OR - PartridgeFight.jpg
Oh Marcia, Marcia, Marcia. It would've been you in a runaway victory. But then you took that football to the schnooz, and you went all Durante on me. And Laurie's got talent, that great sarcastic wit, and she can be my lawyer if I ever get caught with Judy Jetson. So come on and get happy, Laurie. The accolades don't get much higher than this.


Farrah or Cheryl
FarrahFight.jpg -OR - CherylFight.jpg
How was there any hair left for the rest of us? Sure, blondes have more fun? But which blonde? And what kind of fun? Ya gotta like a girl who'll take requests over the phone. Come to think of it, Charlie may be the father of internet porn. But back to the issue at hand (no pun intended) you have to go with poster girl extraordinaire, don't you? For the story, alone...Sorry I'm late, Farrah took a little while getting out of my bed. Now that's class.


Pinky or Leather
PinkyFight.jpg - OR - LeatherFight.jpg
Remember these two? Or did you forget how the Fonz spent his spare time when he wasn't jumping sharks? Pinky was the ex-girlfriend, and Leather was the bad-girl kid sister. I'm gonna have to go with Pinky on this one. Her hair looked like cotton candy, and I used to love cotton candy. And Leather did that annoying leg-slap thing. Look, I never said this was an exact science.


Maude or Miss Hathaway
MaudeFight.jpg - OR - HathawayFight.jpg
Just a little break to cleanse the palette...please continue.


Nurse Chapel or Yeoman Rand
ChapelFight.jpg -OR - RandFight.jpg
Here's another one you may think is pretty easy. Janice Rand was the hottest thing on the Enterprise, I'll give you that. And when the Captain barked out an order, she did whatever she was told to do, no questions asked. But consider this...Nurse Chapel had Roddenberry bucks, and in California that means half the Trekkie fortune belongs to her. More than enough to pay for a nice little bungalow for any Yeoman friends that stop by. Come on...that's just about the shallowest thing you've ever said. You realize I'm writing a "who would you rather do" article, right? Good point. Another tough one.


Lilly Munster or Morticia Adams
LillyFight.jpg - OR - MorticiaFight.jpg
Basically comes down to this...would you be more worried about Herman finding out, or Gomez catching you and sicking Lurch on your ass? I'd be more worried about Herman, he's got retard strength. And I don't think Lurch could run very fast. Also, Morticia's hotter than Lilly, and that was the question to begin with, wasn't it? By the way, anyone seen Marilyn.


Wonder Woman or Super Girl
WonderWomanFight.jpg -OR - SuperGirlFight.jpg
I'm not talking about Lynda Carter vs. Helen Slater, here. We're in super hero fantasy land, and you get to pick between Wonder Woman and Super Girl. Both are incredibly hot...as super heroes go. But there's no telling what Wonder Woman could do with that lasso. Also, Super Girl has the word girl is her name...that concerns me. Also, I think Clark would have this big brother complex about her, and possibly turn me inside out. And doesn't Wonder Woman have a bunch of hot sisters in Amazon world. Point to the Olympian princess.


Leia or Padme
LeiaFight.jpg - OR - PadmeFight.jpg
I know it's hard not to head straight for metal bikini-wearin' Leia. But sitting next to Jabba, Hathaway up there might even look good. And to this day, I can't get those early years cinnamon buns out of my head. Anyway, Padme had it going on. Remember, she had that Geisha look for formal occasions. I'll bet she'd be up for some roleplay from time to time. And she had the bad boy thing going for future-Darth, which means she's a little psycho...we like that.


Ginger or Marianne
GingerFight.jpg - OR - MarianneFight.jpg
You knew this was number one, right? Ford or Chevy...McDonald's or Burger King...evolution or insane person...Ginger or Marianne. It's a decades-old dilemma. I myself, have always been a Marianne guy. (I think it was the shorts). But Ginger had that Marilyn Monroe "I'll do anything to get the part" vibe, which goes on the plus side. Let's face it, you wouldn't have a shot at either one of them, even on that deserted island. But we can dream, can't we...and that's what makes these so much fun.

So tell me...did I miss anyone?

It may not be a classic showdown yet, but The Office's "Pam vs. Karen" situation is fast approaching this pantheon.

said RP on January 8, 2007 2:23 PM.

Betty Rubble was once played by Rosie O'Donnell. Rosie O'Donnell gives me a raging hard off. Judy Jetson FTW.

said Your mom's new boyfriend on January 8, 2007 3:14 PM.

What about the most mindbending of all "Who would you rather bone" conundrums?

Meg Ryan...or Jack Nicholson?

said Jon on January 8, 2007 3:16 PM.

No, no, no, no! It's "Betty or Wilma!" "Betty or Wilma" goes with "Ginger or MaryAnn" or "Jeannie or Samantha". Not, "Betty or Judy!"


And as for "MaryAnn or Ginger", the answer is MaryAnn, for the same reason Samantha wins over Jeannie. And she could make those awesome banana cream pies, remember!

said Mooncity on January 8, 2007 3:41 PM.

The argument against Jeannie in Jeannie v. Samantha is really moot, if the conundrum is merely "Who would you rather DO"...

said Brad on January 8, 2007 3:51 PM.

the most dangerous and terrifying would have to be either "the bride" or "go-go". remember what they did to "buck" and the japanese business man?

said mr. red on January 8, 2007 3:54 PM.

Jack Nicholson now, or 1974?

said Bill Madison on January 8, 2007 3:55 PM.

said dedward86 on January 8, 2007 3:55 PM.

'74.

said Jon on January 8, 2007 4:34 PM.

Dr. Quinn or Susanne Summers? DQ by a landslide, you saw Wedding Crashers.

Rosie O'donnell or Roseanne?
as ugly as rosie is, you have to keep in mind that roseanne was all Tom Arnold at one point... Plus with rosie you have a better chance of a three way with her hottie life partner.

Dog the Bounty Hunter's wife or Dog the bounty hunter? Toss up...

10 fat chicks or 5 really fat chicks?
I know what your thinking, 10 fat chicks, right? but i'm thinkin if your doin fat chicks, you might as well get it over with as quick as possible right?

said johnny law on January 8, 2007 4:48 PM.

Manjula Nahasapeemapetilon vs. Maude Flanders.
No contest. Manjula in a smackdown. But wait! 8 screaming kids!? The horror!
But wait again! Rod & Todd Flanders!? (Shudder.)
Manjula wins.


Edna Krabapple Vs. Miss Hoover
Again, no contest. Edna's got lessons in love to give, and I'm her eager pupil. Plus, Miss Hoover's a bitch.

Patty Vs. Selma
There is not enough alcohol, or money, in the world. If you need me, I'll be at the gay steel mill. (Everybody dance now!)

said cazart on January 8, 2007 6:45 PM.

Marge Simpson or Mod Flanders??

Well if ya dont remember.... Mod was the fuckin hotty.... and if I gotta tell ya about marge and her fro... ill just leave it there.... yes we all know Mod died... but wed still do her!!

said Chris on January 8, 2007 6:57 PM.

Katherine Hepburn or Captain Janeway?


Wait-- aren't they the same person? But one has a phaser.

said Mooncity on January 8, 2007 7:10 PM.

Bailey or Jennifer?

Bailey for me!

said Damien on January 8, 2007 7:38 PM.

Bailey or Jennifer?

Bailey for me!

said Damien on January 8, 2007 7:39 PM.

Chrissy Snow or Cindy Snow? Jack Tripper probably had 'em both.

said golfdude on January 8, 2007 9:02 PM.

Ummmm . . . fyi, Padme was played by Natalie Portman not Anne Hathaway.... just in case that changes your decision.

said Rachel on January 8, 2007 9:19 PM.

RP: I'd actually want Kelly Kapur the most. She definitely deserved that "Hot Curry" award

said Dutch on January 8, 2007 9:37 PM.

Mindy or Mrs. Kotter?

said TB on January 8, 2007 9:58 PM.

Bailey or Jennifer? Bailey, no contest.

What about Dianne or Rebecca?

said alesi on January 8, 2007 10:09 PM.

Kelly Kapowski, Jessica Spanno, or Lisa Turtle

said marshall on January 9, 2007 3:13 AM.

Wonder Woman or Super Girl? Naah, give me She Hulk.

said John SA on January 9, 2007 8:05 AM.

Ms. Partridge (Shirley Jones) vs Mrs. Brady (Florence Henderson)?I’ve read some wild things about Florence Henderson, I’d bet she taught the Brady boys more than we know and I bet she did play BALL in the house.
Laverne or Shirley? I’m thinking I’d have to have more than a few drinks to even consider Laverne, though she’d be fun to drink with, but can’t really consider this once you look at Penny Marshall nowadays, scary…Shirley would probably be too prissy, but get her a few drinks and who knows, probably a complete freak in bed…
Thelma or Daphne? I know everyone’s choice is Daphne, and thinking that Thelma was a closet lesbian, but I bet she has a lot more going on under that orange sweater and behind those glasses than we know, and I BET you Shaggy had ‘em both. Shaggy got his name from more than just the beard and hair y’know…too bad we can’t saw as much for Fred as he’s playing for the other team…
Wonder Woman (Linda Carter) or the Bionic Woman (Lindsey Wagner)? Have to go with Wonder Woman, very hot…besides how are you going to satisfy the Bionic Woman once Steve Austin has already given her the bionic stiffy?

said gumbypiz on January 9, 2007 7:19 PM.

Webster or Arnold?

said Brocktoon on January 9, 2007 10:56 PM.

The leia vs. padme contest is a hands-down padme. God, natalie portman is hot.

said Scott on January 9, 2007 11:08 PM.

Lucy Liu or Lisa Ling?
Lisa Ling does that National Geographic show. Boooring...
Lucy Liu is hotter, freckles and all. Lucy wins.

Lana Lang or Lois Lane -
Hard choice. If it were the Superman movies (except the latest one), Lana (Annette O'Toole) would beat Lois (Margot Kidder). If it were Smallville, Lois over Lana, but not by much.

Natalie Gulbis or Paula Creamer - Natalie poses in bikinis, Paula doesn't have any skin pics. Natalie by default.

Vanity or Apollonia - Vanity cuz I've seen her coochy-coo

Pink or Fergie - I'd kill myself first. Blah!

Am I the only one who's noticed that Supergirl is taking her panties off? Where the hell did you guys find that picture? Naughty.

said Truth71 on January 10, 2007 3:00 PM.

Well, I guess we've got an answer to the age old question of Lily Munster or Morticia. Unless you like necrophilia.

Yvonne De Carlo
1922-2007

said Lord Douchebag on January 10, 2007 5:17 PM.

How about Scooby-doo or Astro? Barney or Fred? Yogi or Booboo? Oscar or Felix? Heckyll or Jeckyll? The Skipper or Gilligan? Dr Smith or The Robot? Jean luc Picard or Captain Kirk? Griff or Bob Rooney? Mighty Mouse or Speedy Gonzales?

said Gruntwilligar T. Honkenoffski on January 13, 2007 5:55 PM.

Oh, yeah... WKRP's Bailey!! I still wet dream about her!

said Django on January 19, 2007 9:04 AM.

Betty/ Jeannie/ Laurie Partridge/Cheryl ( Farah is a crazy cat lady in training )/ Leather (Pinky was a wrinkly 40 yr old playing a teenager (barf))/ Chapel..Rand? they look like twins (tie )/ Lily Munster/ normally Supergirl, but...in THIS case...WW!/ Padme..least of 2 uglys /Marianne,OF COURSE!! ps.
