After watching the sublime My Name Is Earl last night, it struck me that Randy Hickey might be the thickest person I’ve ever seen on the box. Then, something else struck me… is he thicker than Father Dougal from Father Ted? Of course, their bumbling ways are incredibly endearing and in their stupidity sometimes lies genius. However, I can’t get it from my mind. Who is the dimmest of the two. There’s a nice poll thing you can vote on… and if you need some help, there’s some choice quotes from both over the jump.

Randy: If dad was mayor, we’d get to wear top hats and sashes and judge beauty contests.
Earl: That’s Monopoly, Randy.

Father Ted: Did you bring the travel scrabble Dougal?
Father Dougal: I brought the normal scrabble and the travel scrabble, Ted. The travel scrabble for when we were traveling, and the normal scrabble for when we arrived!
Father Ted: Good man!
Father Dougal: Ah, no, wait a minute… now that I think of it I didn’t bring either of them! God , I’m an awful eejit!

Earl: We should go on a beer run; are we okay to drive?
Randy: I know a good way to find out. If I can steer that remote control car in the living room without crashing, were ok.
Earl: Randy that’s the cat.
Randy: (squinting at the cat) We shouldn’t drive.

Dougal: God, Ted. D’you remember that feller who was so good at fashion they had to shoot him?

Earl: What kind of kid puts acorns in his shoes?
Randy: A squirrel kid might. Except a squirrel kid doesn’t wear shoes.

Dougal: God, I’ve heard about those cults Ted. People dressing up in black and saying Our Lord’s going to come back and save us all.
Ted: No, Dougal, that’s us. That’s Catholicism.
Dougal: Oh right.

Randy: I bet nuns are awesome basketball players, especially the ones who can fly.

Ted: Dougal, you can’t sit around here watching television all day – chewing gum for the eyes!
Dougal: Oh no thanks Ted, I’ve got these crisps, here.
