Best Comedy of the Last 30 years - A better way to poll?

[RacersEdge]

Just put all the movies in one list. Pick 5. Take the top 5 from the list. Pick 1.

I just started this poll with the movies that made it to Round 3 of the other OOT poll on comedies. I really only did this poll because I though the format was better than doing a series of head-to-head matches like the other polling method. In that one, two of what I would consider favorites, Monty Python & THG and Animal House, were matched in the third round meaning one of them is getting knocked out while some piece of garbage (IMO) like Dumb and Dumber could potentially move to Round Two.

Yep, the secret is out: Beernutz == Tiltboy

Why is that better than doing it this way?

Looks like this chart leans towards the older classics.

BWAHAHAHA.

Having two handles with more than 1k posts is really kind of lame.

I know. I'd be Carpal\'Tunnel if I'd just stick with one of them but I like to switch back and forth every year or so. It is a sickness.
