That is a good questions, but think about it like this. Say that Washington and Freeman were both coming to your town, but they were only making 5 minute appearances, on opposite sides of town at the same time. Who would you go see?

It doesn't necessarily have to be an in depth analysis/comparison of the two actors. Just in general, who do you prefer/who do you think is better.

That makes it easier for me: Neither. I'm not terribly impressed by the skill and gift of acting, and generally don't celebrate 'celebrities'.

But, let's assume I was: Morgan Freeman, for sure. Both have so much more talent than I'll ever have, but Freeman seems to have more dignified roles. And I just love his smile!

This one is easy. Morgan Freeman plays God in Bruce Almighty and Evan Almighty. Nothing is "better" than God, therefore Morgan Freeman is "better" than Denzel (evan though he makes some really good movies).

Along those lines, which is "better", Morgan Freeman or a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich?

I wonder if ttldomination is trying to punk us by wondering if we'll overanalyze absolutely everything on these forums...

(Morgan Freeman is my preference due to complexity of roles, but I'll go see a Denzel movie any day)

Until Morgan Freeman has his name as the chorus of a major song, I think PB&J wins...

Nope, no punking. Just trying to resolve a debate with a friend, which apparently I'm losing. But in the CD spirit, my roommate and I just spent 10 minutes analyzing our wall space and figuring out where/how to hang our poster...

ttldomination is lying, he wanted to prove once and for all that those on CD over-analyze everything on the forums. (jk ttldomination <3)

On a side note, ttldomination now owes a certain someone a favor because he lost the debate.


PB&J is delicious, makes people smile, and makes your belly full. Morgan Freeman makes people smile, but is most likely not delicious and will never achieve the love people have for PB&J. If there was a free PB&J giveaway and a Morgan Freeman autograph signing at opposite sides of town and occurring at the same time, I would go for the PB&J.

This person's skills of deliberation are far too impressive for my comprehension.

I wonder if there's a way to test this?

Very subjective, but I'm sure we could put together some sort of general opinion test. We should get working on this...

I voted for Morgan Freeman because Denzel has never been referenced in XKCD (462).

The line of reasoning I was looking for was: When your hungry, PB&J is better than nothing. Thus (with the transitive property) PB&J>Morgan Freeman (at least when your hungry).

Hunger <==> PBNJ
Boredom <==> Morgan Freeman or Denzel Washington

Hunger + Boredom <==> Morgan Freeman or Denzel Washington singing Peanut Butter Jelly Time?
I think Denzel would win that one.
