Who do you like more Bob or David?
Both are funny in different ways, I like David more because he makes you laugh just by looking at him. Who do you prefer and think is funnier?

I think they're 2 of the funniest guys on the planet, but I prefer Bob a little over David.
I think Bob just has the edge in writing, which I'm more inclined to over improv anyways (which I think David is better at). They're both hilarious though.
As far as who is funnier, that I can't really decide, but Bob seems like a nicer guy. I thought that just from seeing them on TV and then when I got their autographs it seemed to support that theory. Granted you can't really judge someone from a few seconds on one occasion, but still...David was the last one out the door. I held out the sharpie and the shirt with the others' autographs already on it and smiled at him. Yes, I know I should've said something, but I just sort of looked up and he was there, I was caught off guard. He stood there looking at me and I realized my mistake, so I said, "Could I please get your autograph?" He takes the shirt and kind of looks at me like I'm a total idiot and he wrote "Good for you" and signed his name. I was embarrassed. I don't really remember what Bob said to me, unfortunately, but he smiled and was pleasant, I do remember that. Brian Posehn was nice, too. John Ennis gave me a hug and we actually hung out for a little while afterward.

David he commited more to his character plus he's Tobias!
Although it Bob's crappy accent and singing attempts were just as funny as what he was talking/singing about.

"Both are hilarious, but I like Bob more cause he has more of an everyday guy look to him. You look at David and you expect him to be funny, with Bob it's more of a surprise."
EXACTLY
i started watching this show just for david, because he's hilarious. i saw bob's newest directed movies and loved them, but yeah, didn't seem like he'd be funny at all. but it suprises me now that i like him more than david
bob is the man. i dont use the word genius lightly but i think bob odenkirk is genius.
david cross is amazing though.
I go with Dave b/c i love his stand up and think he's a very underrated comedian. Most top comics list i've read i never hear him being brought up, i put him up there with hicks, carlin, pryor etc. But bob is good too!
Bob. I remember when David said to Bob that it wasnt fair that he gets to rap,and Bob says "Im from the streets, what can you do?" with a completly straight face. That had me in stitches.

Lifeboat-9/10

I think they're both great as performers, Bob is the better writer IMO, but just on a personal level I don't think I would want to meet David, he has that smart ass laughing at you not with you attitude that he never seems to drop. If I ever saw him I would never approach him and say "I'm a fan" or anything like that.
Bob on the other hand I would. I'm not interested in famous people just because they're famous but I would tell Bob that I think his work is comedy genius. And not just MR Show, but the Stiller show, his SNL work, some of his stuff from Super Deluxe, I just think he's a great writer.

Bob's a real sharp guy. David kind of strikes me as moody, and he appears to have gotten more negative with age. He was actually somewhat endearing on Mr. Show at times...it didn't last.
shareI gotta go with Bob, though I do think David is great as well. I also would not like to meet him, though. My brother interviewed him once and said he was pretty much an a-hole.
shareThey are both so funny I couldn't pick one or the other. But I agree, David can be funny just by looking at him.

Both are great, but I prefer Bob.
Rorschach: Hurm.
I think they are both great, but for me David does it better. At least in Mr. Show. Outside from that, I like his stand-up comedy a lot, too.
Maybe Bob has a more versatile artistic profile, but, again, David tickles me more :-)
I guess if I had to pick I'd say Bob. Their different styles really compliment one another though. The show just would not have been the same if either one wasn't heavily involved.
And the supporting cast deserves a much of the credit too. Everyone brought a lot to the table, especially Jill, Jay, John, and Tom. They were all allowed to shine, often brighter than Bob, and David, and the show was better for it. You get the vibe that everyone enjoyed working together, and were having a blast, instead of it being a big ego trip for Bob, and/or David.
