Bats Not Bats Winner Poll

Who won the draft?

Comments

Did y'all take out Gene Hackman? Geoff mentioned him in his honorable mentions.

Cal the Vin

Lil Geoffy has yet to win a draft :'( You better bring your A-game next time, Pepsi

Cole

I was too disappointed in Gavin for failing to pick cricket bat.

The Bruntons

Gavin absolutely won that one. Also letting Eric get away with batters box but crucifying Andrew for Lucille is wild business

DT Hugo

I loveeeeee wombats 😭🫶

Goob

If Eric had chosen acrobat instead of his last pick, he would have had my vote.

Dave Mackenzie

Gassy Goo is winner for me because he had the only other animal that is a bat without being a bat and that won it for me.

Lia DeKesthler

Mortal Kombat not being allowed is wild. It's a video game. Just because the game is a play on the word Combat doesn't make it the same thing. I think Andrew wins for me because I want to right this wrong.

Trevor Deal

It was too early. 3rd or 4th round would have made how crazy, it was stick

Ocean

Best overall list goes to Gassy Goo, but Baby Pepsi has the best single pick with the bat bomb, what an absolutely insane, fascinating pick.

Furitaurus

Bat Bouy is fantastic, honestly it's Gassy all the way

Ron Zlatkin

I'd say Baby Pepsi definitely had the most interesting pics but gassy definitely got 1st for most creative

Alex

Gassy Goo has 3 really strong picks and the Bat Bouy. Gizmo has strong picks but man did he fight himself to get there. Baby Pepsi performed as expected with some niche picks, but man that bat bomb is probably best pick of the draft. The MechaNick is insane for batwing and Bat-tery. In the end gotta give it to Lil Ricky B with solid picks all around maybe not any one pick with strong star power but definitely a team that would go to the bat-not-bat championship.

Nick K.

Wombat won this draft for me

Eric

Anyone but andrew

Bret Helgesen

Eric or lil ricky b is being cheated here

Andrey Chichagov

Batshit was a serious sleeper pick that really decided it for me, but god damn that bat-bomb is insane

Hans Personius

Gassy Goo 100% but runner up would have been Baby Pepsi fosho

Justin Ramos

idk i think we are sleeping on nicks batwing first round

Jadyn

Geoff solely for the bat bomb

TimShaw19284163519

The bat bomb was wayyyy too crazy of a story to not have Geoff win for me

Tony K

lil ricky b reigns supreme

Paularino

Same here!

Maria

Nearly picked Ricky B but I just can't support batter's box. It's two degrees of separation from a bat that isn't a bat (bat - batter - batter's box).

Jake Shidler

I've got to give it to Geoff just for "Bat Bomb" which was, IMHO, the best pick of the draft.

AArthriticGamer

I literally just finished listening and I can't remember everyone's picks

Fyurae

Gotta love Eric's synergy though I could the B.A.T. as his final pick since I know batters box was just proving a point which you know what I approve. I do think Wombat was my favorite back for the simple fact of I love the mouth feel of saying wombat and thought it was fun to show up here. Bat Fight was the biggest thing I learned from this though. It would have been Bat bomb if not for the fact I read ' weird shit the government has done before' lists and that is a common entry.

Matthew Hughes

I cannot believe ya'll voted for the guy who picked "Bat Buoy"

This Guy

Gavin overall but Nick may have the best individual draft pick (which may be a fun draft in itself - no context previous draft pick draft) with Coyote the Bat Catcher Dressed as Bat Coyote

Michael Lambert

As soon as Gavin said "Batshit" I knew he would have my vote

Melinda Lovewell

GassyGoo hit it on the head.

David Mead

Wombats are more bat than vampires are, easy money Dan’s Friend

Vig

I figured Andrew could have fought the point on Mortal Kombaf that he’s choosing it as a game and Eric could have kept his since he put it on the board in terms of actual combat so technically 2 seperate things. Solid draft though !

Preston Sinclair

Eric's was super solid, but i think the batter's box at the end made it a tad repetitive, but i get your stance Eric 🤝 I liked Andrew's bat signal and bat fight Loved Batwing and the CTBCDABC Sorry but Gavin's had a lot of clever ones that resonated with me, gotta give it to wombat, bat buoy and batshit, c'mon. And didn't know bat mitzvah was a thing either! And gotta always love Geoff's obscure picks, he won the bat bomb round for sure 😅

Soots

Eh, I disagree that Combat and Kombat mean the same thing here. When you look at what the two entries are in their essence, you'll see that 'combat' is exactly what they described it as. I don't have the time to go into the video and find where they said it, but they mentioned the definition of combat, and that is Eric's entry. Now, Andrew's entry of 'Mortal Kombat' is a wholly different thing. It is not the act nor definition of 'combat'. 'Mortal Kombat' is a video game series. It is neither Eric's entry 'combat', nor the animal bat, thus it is perfectly permissable. If one would argue 'combat' and '[Mortal] Kombat' are the same thing, one could follow that same path of logic to exclude every single entry from the draft because it has the word 'bat' in it and that would be the same as the animal 'bat'. Edit: Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

ucheehcu

Batwing takes it all

Riley Morrison

Geoff had the best picks individually with bat bomb and the grummond bat but Gavin was the most unique bats

Tayden

I agree. The creativity is what puts Gavin ahead of the pack

LynkedLyd

Couldn't vote for the batwing

Brooke

Eric not winning this by a landslide is insane

Matthew Kimmich

Hard to not pick Eric. Baseball bat and batman are 1-1 and 1-2 and he managed to get both, doesn’t even matter that batter’s box is a terrible pick

Michael Miller

I thought the same thing, but in the spirit of the draft I'd say he wouldn't work. He's literally a man that IS a bat.

Lazaro Deschamps

No gonna lie, my Gavin vote is 90% just for Wombat

Ian W.

How could no one pick Man-Bat? He's Batman but more bat

Elias S Millas

Andrew got a really good pic stolen from him by some dumb rule that was ignored later on and despite that kept his chin up so I gotta vote my boy his picks were unmatched

Mr.Almost

I took its as MK as a franchise than the kombat=combat angle

Yakuzie

It pains me greatly to agree with Andrew, but the concept of Combat, and the video game franchise Mortal Kombat are totally different, significantly more distinct than a Bat Boy (Human Bat Retriever) and a Bat Dog (Canine Bat Retriever.) He was just horrible at arguing his case on that one. Getting shut down on Lucille though was right and true.

ViciousWarGoose

Eric's first 3 picks are too strong to not get my vote.

Bryce Cloniger

Stop the steal! Justice for lil trump.

Kevin D

The Batwing is what won me over lol good job Nick!😂

Cristian Delgado

These elections are always rigged. Lil Trump should have won.

Mikhail Davis

Geoff almost won me over with the bat bomb, but with great pulls like Bat mitzvah and womBAT, Gavin takes it easily.

Apathetic_Titan

I agree on Mortal Kombat. It's a video game and much different than actual "combat"

Thindler's Lisp

Mortal Kombat is a specific franchise. I really don't see the argument at all that it was too close to "combat". But these are the same crazy people that argue ass-backwards about Coffee, sooooo

Christopher Wirt

Same. That's where I am at.

Joshua Christensen

Bat Bouy stole the show. He and Eric had the best lineup. Fantastic draft and good showing from everyone

Thindler's Lisp

Yeah if we're trying to be objective, Eric won. But I'm not happy about that and don't think it quite meets the spirit of winning a draft, so I'm going for Geezer

Christopher Wirt

Y’all are insane Andrew’s list is solid but has Bat Dog as kicker. Eric is very close second but Batters Box just not strong enough.

samantha rodriguez

There's always some beautiful soul that adds the info in the comments

Kev Klippel

I think Lil Ricky B won off of everyone else going for niche picks. Mr President took all the easy picks, Gassy Gav close 2nd

Jacob Clark

Misspelling combat doesn't change the meaning. Andrew tried to angle grind like he always does and I'm very happy that he finally got shut down.

Joshua Dodge

I would have voted for Eric but the bat bomb from Geoff was the deciding factor for me. Obscure war facts are something I enjoy.

Austin A.

Of course Eric won. He had 3 solid picks and one shitty pick that existed to swiftly win an argument that took place offscreen/offmic. I don't even agree that batter's box should count but the other similar picks that were accepted gave him a perfect defense. Well played.

mitzt

Why is there no option to vote for the audience? Because truly, with this video, the audience won. (My vote goes to Gavin, I was already considering him, but batshit is the best entry bar none in this draft.)

ucheehcu

I'm just upset that nobody thought to pick Ratbat from Transformers, purely for the argument

Harry Singh

Geoffs bat bomb won my vote that thing is crazy

Christopher Melendez

Its between Eric and Gavin for me. Worst was easily Andrews. Even with his Lucille pick. I wouldve allowed Mortal Kombat though.

Yakuzie

I think Bat Bomb alone was enough to win me over on Geoff, especially reading the Wikipedia entry for it. Wild.

Christian Moore

Ya know what? You’re right, Eric did blow it. Let’s go Gavin!

Biggie Taters

Nick definitely had the best one of the bat coyote dressed a bat coyote but gavin had the best ones overall

The Real Mister Mouse

How anyone is letting Gavin get away with "Bat Buoy" is beyond me.

Lance

Eric. Cause he needs a W. The man is stressed

PhsycoRed

Go listen again 😁

PhsycoRed

You, sir, are doing the Lord's work

Kev Klippel

You guys gotta include everybody's picks when you post a poll! I can't remember everything!

Kev Klippel

While Geoff had some great picks I believe Gavin slightly edges him out.

Anthony Dewitt

I will say Eric locked down a lot of corners with this one. He's got the vote for me

Gunningyoudown

Gavin gave a wider breadth of what a Bat can be and must be commended on this

Archery Contest

I think Eric has won at least 2 of the drafts. Geoff hasn't won any as far as I recall

Danny Lam

Andrew had a great draft. I'm surprised he got bat dog so late in the draft

Turbo

He should draft better and get one

Raty Boy Troy

It would’ve been Andrew imo but he got fucked with two of his picks, I’m on Team Andrew especially with the Lucille pick (which is rare for me to side with Andrew) Lucille is a fictional bat AND is named after Negan’s late wife who Negan also has full ass conversations with. It was insane to make Andrew repick the Lucille pick despite allowing other questionable bat-not-bat picks fly later in the draft. The Moral Kombat pick having to be repicked was even worse, especially since Gavin voted no “just to hear another Andrew pick”

Justin Allen

I was so excited every time the draft came back round to Gavin. I never vote in these polls because sometimes it’s hard to pick a winner but this one? Gassy Goo Gott’em

Holly Vee

Fuck that, eric blew it

Raty Boy Troy

Gavin takes it way away for me with Bat shit

Raty Boy Troy

Combat clearly is the top pick

Adam Almström

Wombat is just the best pick in this draft. It is the most Bat Not Bat pick out there. Seals it for Gavin for me

DoctorGubbins

Let’s do it, help Eric win.

Biggie Taters

Thank you for this. It’s always tough to remember haha

Trozzbozz

Gavin was so close to a perfect game

Sam

Eric: Baseball Bat, Batman, Combat, Batters Box Andrew: Bat Signal, Bat dog, Bat Fight, Cricket Bat Nick: Batwing, Batboy, Coyote The Bat Catcher Dressed as Bat Coyote, Bat-tery Gavin: bat mitzvah, Wombat, Bat Buoy, Batshit Geoff: Bat Boy, Batty Batty Batty, The Bat Bomb, Northrop Grumman Bat

Colin Curtis

Eric needs a w

Anthony George

It's the bat bomb for me
