:lol::lol::lol:

This is awesome. Who's better?

I think Cardinal Dolan is probably funnier than either one of the two candidates.

You need proof for a subjective opinion?

Are you kidding? He's the forum's resident Vatican cheerleader. Do you really have to ask why he holds that opinion?

It'd be quicker if you just presented proof that it won't suck. Here in this thread.

Reviews seem to agree thus far.

What proof do the reviewers have?

I thought they both were funny. Laughed a couple times at Obama's, probably more at Romney's. I was really surprised Romney was actually that funny, everyone says he's a robot.cslayer211

Mittens and Obama have writers who make up their jokes obviously. Delivery is important and Romney did it surprisingly well.

I was kind of surprised when I found out today that the Al Smith dinner was last night, I thought it would be later. I think the dinner is usually after the third debate, not before it, but it turns out There's a bishops Synod going on in Rome and Dolan just left today in order to get there.

I'd say in comedy delivery is everything. The worst joke in the world can be funny with the right delivery. Likewise the most cleverly written jokes can be painfully unfunny with poor delivery.

It was fun. These events where the president and the candidates make fun of themselves and each other are one of the few times politics doesn't suck.

I always loved watching George W Bush at these things.

It's all fakeness and theatre to me.

I listened live to both candidates. Both were funny, though Obama always seems more comfortable in this kind of situation. Mitt's comedy writers gave him more zingers and potshots at Obama. Obama's writers gave him more self-depricating jokes.

I'm sure the "the other guys has a lovely family" crap at the end was BS, since they dislike each other, but it was nice to see a little civility.

I disliked Bush as a President, but the guy i naturally funny. I bet he's awesome at a party or family event.

Not gonna lie, I thought Romney was funnier. Granted both of them probably didn't write the jokes themselves, stll....good job Romney.

i'm so proud of you america.

we have all come together in the spirit of harmony and collectively pretended the rom is not in some kooky cult.

i would not have thought that possible but here we are ignoring the magic under ware, the massacres committed, the polygamy, the racism and the pack of perverted pedo founders who were run out of every decent community in north america and had to settle in a wasteland because that was the only place that would have them.

i guess it just goes to show us all what people are capable of when presented with a common enemy.

I think Obama is funnier tbh. Although I didn't see the beginning parts of ROmney's speech so maybe his best material was at the beginning.

I liked both but I liked the Romeny wasn't afraid of going a little edgy

I thought they were both hilarious. I think Obama was a little bit better. I've always enjoyed his sense of humor.

Especially when he joked about the predator drones. HILARIOUS!
