Poll question: A fight: Oompa Loompas vs. the cast of 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'
Who would win?

The strange orange short people with fudge for blood?



Or the infuriatingly annoying, perpetually singing people that make me want to hurt myself?

1. Oompa Loompas without question
they had to learn to fight the Vermicious Knids and Snozwangers before Wonka hired them.

2. And they can squirt fudge from their eyes, like some lizards do with blood
Not to mention their superior ankle-biting ability.

3. I hate anything to do with Willy Wonka
So I voted for "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" although I don't care much for it either.

4. I don't really care for either myself
Both are annoying, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang more so.

5. Do they have the car to help them?
If so without a doubt their 'Fine four-fendered friend' will make the cast of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang will easily.

Even without, they're my odd-on favourites.

Oh and you do realise that being rude about Chitty Chitty Bang Bang means that you're on the side of the beastly Duke and the child-catcher; and you're going to hell as well. Chitty roolz.

8. Nope, no car. Mano a mano
I've got no problem with hell. I'm sick of winter anyway. :D

6. I have to think the relentless cheeriness
Edited on Thu Jan-27-05 10:47 AM by KurtNYC
of the Bang Bang Gang would wear the little buggers down. Then Miss Truly Scrumptious would break out the Toot Sweets, Dick Van Dyke goes for the old bamboo and it's all over.

10. Their incessant singing would be hard to counter
I still think that the inherent strangeness of the Oompa Loompas and their superior numbers would still win in the end, however.

7. the oompa loompas, without a doubt

13. But all they do is make chocolate and sing moralising songs
Whereas among the cast of Chitty Chitty there is a diversity of skills which could be employed. Besides Dick van Dyke must tower over the oompa loompas by a good 3 feet.

22. They also help Wonka by rowing boats and helping set traps for bad kids
So it would be a mistake to underestimate their strength and malevolence

23. I don't doubt their malevolence
They are really nasty pieces of work, and the most grumpy sods one could imagine.

16. As one poster pointed out, he IS a rather tall fellow
but against a horde of biting and clawing Oompa Loompas . . . not a snowball's chance in hell.

26. If you've clicked here, by all means check out...
the WWWF Grudge Match Archive site!

Where else can you find such historic matchups as Pee-Wee Herman vs. Gilligan, Colonel Blake vs. Colonel Klink, Flipper vs. Jaws, Mr. T vs. Mr. Clean, Calvin vs. Bart, and Beavis vs. Butthead? :evilgrin:
