Compare and contrast:

A bearded Gerard Butler as a Greek warrior delivering the "Tonight we dine in hell" line from Frank Miller's 300.

And a bearded Ernie Kovacs as a Greek warrior delivering a speech from Euripides' The Trojan Women. [Note: Make sure to watch till the very end.]

Which clip is funnier?

Your thoughts....

If only the 300 people had had the cojones to let Butler tap dance. THEN they would have had something...

Kovacs, of course. Gerard Butler wouldn't know funny if it came and tore his fabulous cape.

Each is funny, but for entirely different reasons.

Speechless.

Not that it has anything to do with the clip but I recently read a negative review of the Gerard Butler rom-com "The Ugly Truth." It ended with, "Men are from Mars. Women are from Venus. This film is from Uranus."
