Poll question: Who's more obnoxious, Gilbert Gottfried or Colin Quinn?
It's a tough call (not to be confused with a tough crowd). Quinn (as I've said many a time) is the most relentlessly and belligerently unfunny no-talent jagoff in showbiz history, whereas Gottfried is the most neurotically and painfully unfunny no-talent jagoff in showbiz history.

My vote goes to Gottfried. It's the voice...definitely the voice. But now it's your turn to sound off. As Bill O'Reilly (no slouch in the no-talent jagoff department himself) would say, "What say you?"

1. I gotta go with colin...
I mean, I think that gilbert can be funny, but his funniness is outweighed by his annoyingness. colin is just not funny at all...

3. If I understand the meaning of "obnoxious"
I gotta go with Colin, even though I thought he was amusing on SNL.

5. No Question About it
His voice sounds like a rabbit being pushed into a cheese grater.

He isn't funner either.:thumbsdown:

8. Colin
Just the fact that I have to lunge for the remote every weeknight after Daily Show makes this horse's ass more obnoxious than Gottfried, who rarely shows up often enough to annoy. Christ, I see Carrot Top more often.

Besides which, Gilbert let himself be ridiculed on Married With Children, which redeems him somewhat.

10. That's a good point. Gottfried has the decency to be unable to get much
work, while Quinn is unavoidable - especially since he follows Jon Stewart.

17. Ditto on the lunge for the remote
...I can't stand that loud-mouthed blowhard. He has good guests sometimes, but he Limbaughs them silent most of the time. Irritating.

11. Quinn was funny on that MTV show years ago.
Whereas Gottfried has always sucked.

I think Colin Quinn grates ten times worse than he normally would because he follows the Daily Show.

12. Gottfried is more annoying than obnoxious, imho,
so I'll go with Quinn.

14. The voice
I cannot get past the noise coming out of Gottfried's mouth to hear what he is saying.

16. Gottfried does GREAT cartoon voices!
He was perfect for the voice of Iago in the Aladdin cartoons.

18. Well Gottfried made me laugh........once.......
but Colin is much more obnoxious with his "you're supposed to laugh dammit that was funny" attitude.

While sick in bed one day I was watching the 'Hollywood Squares' and Gottfried was asked a question about 'Ally McBeal'.....his response was every time Calista Flockhart tried on new clothes she always asked if her new dress made her backbone look fat. Maybe it was the medication but I actually laughed at his joke.....once.

19. I voted for Quinn
Though Gottfried did just about get on my last nerve with all those "AFLAC!" duck commercials.
