Pajiba

Neil Patrick Harris. Ellen is a very close second in my heart. However, their sexual orientation has nothing to do with it.

This is the question that broke the universe. Can't I just love them both?

Ellen deGenerous gets my vote.

Uh ... color me 'racist' but I thought Neil Patrick Harris and Ellen Degeneris WERE the same person. No?

Love them both equally, but had to vote for Ellen for 2 reasons:
a) she is losing by a few points and this should be as equal as possible
b) that shot of NPH and Elmo in the blond wigs is going to haunt my dreams.

If only they could get married and make cute little gay babies.

Thank you for bringing that adorable baby Smee back ot the forefront of my brain. And the bathtub picture. Egads.
Ellen wins my heart for her reaction to Fifty Shades of Grey:
"What is wrong with you heterosexuals?!?"

Harris is my hero more ways than I can count, but I have to vote Ellen because her wife is hot.

How are the results 49% and 50%!? OH MY GOD WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?

All of your comments are very confusing to those of us who can't see a poll anywhere. I assume that you aren't all going through all the comments and counting up the votes in each comment!

There should be a tie button. I can't handle the pressure.

Its a thin between being the most likeable gay person and being the most detestable gay person.

I thought the most detestable gay person was Glenn Beck?

Sylar's eyebrows.

This made me very, very happy.

Huh. When I voted at work for NPH, Degeneres was ahead. Now, when I vote at home for Degeneres, NPH is ahead. Good to know my double voting won't skew the results.

it's not fair to choose amongst the unchoosiest. neither can do wrong. damn your forced polls!

I voted for Neil Patrick Harris on my own behalf and on behalf of Bad Horse.

I think that Matt Bomer's abs should totally be the subject of your next post.

I vote NPH because of the simple fact that he owns a two headed cow fetus, which he keeps in his garage. (seriously, listen to his interview on the Nerdist podcast, it's hilarious!)

And runs the Magic Castle

Yeah, I remember when Ellen came out, too. It was huge, and she caught so much hate for it. I remember them running clips of her tv show on the news talking about it. And then she disappeared for years, it seemed, until Finding Nemo. She probably wasn't the first famous person to ever come out, but she was the first person I remember, and it was so brave, so as delightful as NPH is, she gets my vote.

This was a real turning point for me getting over my own homophobia. Ellen made me a better person and for that I will always be loyal.

I was about ten years old when Ellen Degeneres came out. She made up my mind that being homophobic sucks simply because I liked her, so I'm voting for her.

That's power, yo.

In the contributions to animation category, I'd say NPH's voice work for things like Spiderman and Nightwing (in the newish Batman cartoon) faaaar outweigh the Smurfs dreck. My god. My 3 year olds watched that last week and I wanted to burn their eyes out to save them... They thought the movie was hilarious.

Y'know, I already voted for Doogie, but if I hadn't this would have totally made me regret my decision.

It's lucky you don't consider him a "whore" then otherwise your less pleasant personality would have to come out.

Or is it only women you think that about?

I must disagree on the Muppet score - NPH as the shoe fairy must have the advantage-

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/...

I was aghast that the Shoe Fairy wasn't the Muppet option. Plus, he was so thrilled when he got to do that bit. NPH is Muppetastic.

Can we agree that my people, the gays, ascend to the higher plane of existence together, we'll likely find out that NPH and Ellen are secretly deities that arrange the cosmos?

I think we can.

I voted Ellen, but only because it's part of my cunning plan to ingratiate myself with her and then steal her wife. You may be wondering how on earth voting for her here will help me achieve that, and you would be right. It's not a perfect plan, but it's all I've got.

NO DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE!
*holds pistol to temple*
DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE!

Certain photos of NPH make me sad that he is gay...

Picking who to vote for has EASILY been the most difficult part of my week so far.

With that said AngelenoEwok returns to work as the Senior Quantum Physicist and advanced Terrorism Forecaster at the Complex Projections centre of the Difficult Questions Inc. That's how hard this is!

Can I vote them to become an unstoppable duo of gay likability? The Unambiguously Gay Duo as it were?

Tough choice, but NPH wins for that fantastic Halloween ensemble. Hubby and I need to produce child #2 so we can totally rip that off.

I had to go with NPH, because I'd like to scrog his ears off.

I refuse to pick. In my reality, there is room enough for both of them to destroy the long-held heteronormative belief in man/woman marriage.

Wow...it's nearly a split decision! That's interesting.

(team nph, yo)

George Takei wins hands down. Not even close. If you don't believe me, look up the video of him doing his happy dance.

You are so right. How had I not seen that before? Utter fabulousness.

That may be the best thing I saw all week. Thank you.

Agreed--Takei is a dangerous contender for this title. I'd still give it to Ellen for my reason stated above, but by a hair. Damn, he's likeable!

Case closed.

Damn! You have a point!

Harris may have the clothes off advantage, but look at Ellen's face! Lady is 54 years old!!!! I had no idea until recently that there was a 15 year age difference between her and Portia. She's not in Stacy Dash territory, but Ellen sure is aging well.

I was surprised myself. That woman looks better today than she did years ago.Oh how far she's come. I remember when she came out. She was many homophobe's enemy. I remember this dude referring to her as Ellen Degenerate. I'm so proud of her for how far she's come...or is that how far we've come that she is now so beloved. I think it's all because she seems so genuine.

btw: I didn't vote. I couldn't. I think NPH is hot and cerebral/witty; Ellen is just nerdily cool / chill. I like them both.

54?! Good grief! Her gayness not only destroys heteronormative christian marriages, it also gives her fabulous skin. Sign me up!

Ellen is funnier. I vote for her.

That Halloween picture of NPH and his babies makes my cold, black heart grow three sizes.

They're both lovely. And Geepie comes in a very close third.

I vote Ellen. My tiebreaker scenario was, "Who would it most upset me to see crying?" Can you imagine Ellen sad and crying? There would be mass puppy suicides.

Damn good tiebreaker. I'm remembering that one. Upvote.

There are a few "Ellen sad and crying" videos out there (usually regarding the bullying or suicide of gay kids), and you're right, they are goddamn heartbreaking.

dude, you weren't kidding, you really are using logic and reasoning today. Upvote

Most Joy Bordering on Complete Nervous Breakdown Provided via a Sloth Story:
Advantage Degeneres.

So hard to choose... Oh! And completly unrelated: does anyone know what handle Mrs.Julien is using now?

Mrs. Julien cannot comment at work because Disqus is firewalled. But she can see the comments. And whenever her name is mentioned, she jumps inside of her computer monitor and screams in the vain hope that someone can hear her. You, sir, have just given her an embolism. (HI Mrs. J!)

This makes me hope that if during work hours, I splash some water on my computer screen (very carefully), turn around 3 times and say "Mrs. Julien, Mrs. Julien, Mrs. Julien" she'll appear. It'll be more like Beatlejuice than Bloody Mary thing, and she'll make my government job seem zany and fun.

Awww, YOU GUYS! I only just saw this now.
CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?!

Aw! Pajiba without Mrs. J is like Tabasco sauce with no Bloody Mary.

I know, right? It's really a tragedy of epic proportions.

p.s. Mrs J - try firefox if you can, it beat the anti-disquis on my end.

yep, without her comments this place is much worse

Someone needs to explain Ellen's Halloween costume, please.

She dressed as Snooki's hair... bump... thing. Thus the tiny orange doll below her.

I think she's supposed to be Snooki. The Cabbage Patch doll is the body, and she's the hair.

Well, that makes more sense than "Cousin It gives birth" which is what I was getting. Thanks.

I couldn't decide, so I cheated and voted for the one with the least votes. That picture of Ellen and Portia at their wedding makes me melt

NPH is the bee's knees, but Ellen makes me transcend my hatred of talk shows and talk-show hosts--the whole wretched cheesy formula, daytime AND late-night--so I have to give it to her. And her great taste in wives.

THIS IS LIKE SOPHIE'S CHOICE! Gay Sophie's Choice. It's the most Fabulous Choice there is.

That's exactly what it's like!

oh you meant homosexual....shit

The record will show that I am the most likeable gay person of EVER, dammit.

My write in vote C) Common Sense

I didn't know Common's last name was Sense.

see the Rickles post

Toughie. I would like to hang out with NPH more, but I think Ellen may be the most likeable person in the world.

Ummmm. Can I just pick both? Thanks.
