First Round: River Tam vs. Snuffleupagus


RIVER TAM

Seed: 5

Overview: River Tam is a genius looney tune who escaped from some kind of Academy and began flying around the universe on a spaceship with her dweeby brother and a colorful cast of characters who got themselves into all kinds of entertaining pickles before Fox decided to move on to other quality programming, like Greg the Bunny. She is now a terminator who seems to be developing a personality.

Pros: Can kill you with her brain.

Cons: Canceled.

Outlook: Beware the 5-12. River Tam is a cult hero and if she builds up steam could go far in this tournament. Unfortunately, she earned a tough draw in Mr. Snuffleupagus, who could be a sentimental favorite.




MR. SNUFFLEUPAGUS

Seed: 12

Overview: Aloysius Snuffleupagus, once believed to be an imaginary creature, turned out to be oh so real when the adults finally saw him in 1985. Snuffy has a little sister named Alice that you probably don't remember. She goes to Snufflegarten.

Pros: He's a fuckng elephant....or something.

Cons: Seems a little mopey.

Outlook: Now that they believe in him everybody likes Mr. Snuffleupagus. Unfortunately, their love for Snuffy is a bit wishy washy. He should go as far as your sentimentality takes him.
