Frankie Avalon (Bikini Beach)—Ok so I know usually in these beach movies, Frankie plays the standard all-American teen dreamboat. But in THIS movie he has a dual role as “The Potato Bug,” who’s meant to be a spoof of all four Beatles rolled into one scrungly guy. Frankie as The Potato Bug is who I’m nominating specifically. You can’t help but laugh at PB’s antics as he uses his Austin-Powers-like “charms” to steal the girlfriend of Frankie’s other character. Plus PB has some banger songs.
Groucho Marx (Duck Soup, A Night at the Opera)— //// groucho marx somehow manages to be a romantic lead despite every single one of his characters hating romance, hating leading, hating the shit he's going through, and in general being real soft mad about it. but most iconically, and this is important: he is having the time of his LIFE. also important is that my father's one request for his funeral is that "whatever it is, i'm against it" must be played. groucho marx is a scrungle close to my heart and soul.
This is round 1 of the contest. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. If you're confused on what a scrungle is, or any of the rules of the contest, click here.

Frankie Avalon:
Groucho Marx:
What is NOT scrungly about him? The painted-on mustache and eyebrows (and the countless cartoon parodies thereof)! The rolling eyes and waggling eyebrows! The truly weird ways he moves his body when walking and dancing! But most of all, the wordplay and sarcasm - possibly no actor has ever made me laugh harder than Groucho.
look just. please. please. his head is in a jug. and i couldn't find the clip on youtube but this scene ends with him chucking fruit at the villain. THAT'S the crowning moment of heroism: throwing fruit at a man stuck in a door. WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE ABOUT THIS MAN AND HIS SONGS ABOUT GOING TO WAR, AND ALSO BEING AGAINST EVERYTHING.
Listen, his face is literally the glasses we use as a joke. HIS FACE IS JOKE GLASSES. DO YOU SEE MY VISION??

I CANT BELIVE I FORGOT TO SEND THIS ASK. ADHD is killing me. Anyways,
holy shit, Sam and Jammer from Misfits & Magic (watch it on dropout)
first of all. I HAVE to give props to the fucking incredible DM, Aabria Lyengar,
Who is not only amazing, but also one of the best dm’s I’ve ever heard. One of my favorite clips from episode one is when she completely SHOCKS Brennan Lee mulligan (one of the DMs of all time) with her sick as fuck decision to describe what his character Does Not See, something Brennan never did. OK. NEXT
This is Jammer. He’s a sports man himbo who loves his friends dearly and has a pet loving basketball because it’s sick. He’s really friendly and will always bring people into their group and hype them up to make sure he and his friends feel GOOD about themselves.
Some of his cutest scenes are with Evan Kelmp, where they give eachother compliments and . God I don’t want to spoil it but I’m also grinning while typing this.
This is his actor . Who is a national treasure. Lou Wilson!!!
And Last but DEFINITELY NOT LEAST . Sam.
She’s a twitch streamer who mainly does mukbangs. She’s a real powerhouse who loves talking to people!! She also can see the lines of affection(?) between people and her pet patrons thing is a stream pig (a cute little pink piglet) named after her favorite movie, Terminator 2!!!!! Her mom was part of a MLM scam so she mostly wears that sort of thing. She also loves her friends so, so so much . She’s full of love and the urge to create content. I love her.
and this is her wonderful actor, Danielle Radford!
Anyways go watch misfits & magic on dropout it’s the best I think. Ever
Black women running D&D 🥹🥹🥹 oh I'm so happy. I've heard of Aabria being iconic, and I fully support (plus that art behind her?? 🤌🏾🔥🔥) Lou!! His face makes me happy when I see him on here. I don't remember like, hardly anyone from all the D&D stuff that gets posted on here, but when I see him I'm like MY BOY LOU!! He's such a doll, truly. I actually am really charmed by Sam's design. It's so normal lol, like omg that's my cousin or something. I too love piglets, like sending me pictures of baby piglets will never go astray. Danielle just better with that color!! I tried color like that once, it didn't stick 😭 I gotta commit stronger. This was a joy to read!
Hot Chocolate: I was actually just watching a video on Aabria! It was complimenting the way she paints the scenes in a cinematic fashion, that really immerses you into the setting and story. This is something I plan on trying when I DM in the near future, so she is definitely inspirational! Lou Wilson strikes again! I need to watch him play, because I feel like I'm missing an amazing time and inspiration for characters that I play. I'm so interested in the world of this campaign because what the hell is going on??? Lol thanks for putting me on!

Happy 37th anniversary, Withnail and I!
Paul told to BBC recently that while he was driving to Bedford (for the charity con), he passed by Milton Keynes, the place where the iconic tearoom scene was filmed, and was tempted to go there.

A Court of Fey and Flowers truly is wild, I mean, first you have BINX and Andhera, pretty much acting out a goddamn Disney regency fairytale romance but better, *chef's kiss*, doing great; then you have Rue and Hob HAVING THE ROMANCE OF THE CENTURY, like SERIOUSLY, Brennan and Oscar were giving the performances of their lifetimes, went from zero to 200% just like that, stealing the entire show, how did they do this??? And then you have Chirp and Squak just being insane rich cousins and doing drugs.
