Marco vs. Ax-Man: Best Animorphs Humor
« on: January 27, 2009, 10:00:21 AM »
I thought this would make an interesting poll. Both characters are funny in there own way. You have Marco with his sarcasm and stating the obvious. And Ax who seems to either stumble upon humor accidentally or makes a really funny observation or lacks understanding about humanity in general. Either way, cast your vote and post some of your favorite lines to make your point! :)

#28 The Experiment; One of my fav books, here are a few good quotes from it

       ________
Ax: <Yes, she is hot. This is why she often wears less artificial skin.>
Marco: "Yeah, well, I think you may have your cause and effect turned around
there."
       ________
<lf the Yeerks wished to kill a lot of humans they could
simply use their Dracon beams from orbit to ignite the atmosphere and
incinerate all life on the planet.>
Everybody turned to stare at me.
"Well. There's a happy thought," Marco said with what I believe is a
tone of voice called "sarcasm."
     __________
<And you know the Yeerks inside are going to be suspicious of any kind
of animal,> Cassie added. <Even the ones they're testing.>
<And we do not know . . .> I paused for a long moment, the way I had
seen Victor Newman do. Whenever he does this, the TV camera zooms in on his face.
<. . .what kind of animals are being tested in there.>
Five bird-of-prey heads turned to look at me. They stared at me the way
Marco and Erek had earlier.
<Ax? You okay?>
<Yes, but I must maintain silence till we go to These Messages.>
______________
 
And let's not forget:

"Please make every effort not to drop me!"

"What is 'Caps Lock'?"
"Forget 'Caps Lock.'"
"Yes, Prince Jake."

You can't forget the classic "Yes-No" conversation.

"What is your name?"
"No."
"Your name is No?"
"Yes."
"That's an unusual name, isn't it?"
"No."
"I'm confused."
"Yes."

Which one is funnier? Sometimes they're funny at the same time, like one of the last lines in the Leeran homeworld book that revolved around the word yanked.

I'd probably say Ax. As a character I like Marco better, but Ax can be funnier.

I find more and more often that I THINK like Marco, so his humour is just what I'd've said in that situation, anyway, whether or not I found it FUNNY.

Ax, however, invariably sends me into fits of hysterics. Gotta' love 'im! ;D
The universe is, instant by instant, re-created anew. There is, in truth, no Past, only a memory of the Past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. The only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.

Well, I dunno. I think most Marco humor is on purpose whereas Ax's isn't. And when Ax attempts "human humor" he fails XD So, I think that Marco is funnier.

Both are way too hilarious, with different styles, so I can't decide. They've both given me plenty of giggles while reading through the series :P

Can't decide too... It's different humor. And some of the best scenes are Marco+Ax ;)
