Jeff's cracked me up before. Vinny more consistently but I must have brain farted because I instantly thought Ryan and voted for him. I guess those three are all acceptable answers, however.
Who is the funniest member of Giant Bomb / Whiskey Media?
For me it's a tie between Vinny and Jeff. To me they are hilarious, and it's hard to pick between them.
I guess in general it's Vinny, but when Jeff does his random impressions/caricatures I'm laughing like a mad man. Put the two of them together and you get hilarity gold!
That's why the rollercoaster quick look was soooooooo good.
So a top 3 would be:
1. Vinny "Two Pens" Caravella
2. Jeff "Big Jeffrey" Gerstmann
3. Ryan "Taco Sauce" Davis
Special mentions: Dave "Hardcore" Snider and Drew "They talked in Lego island... Brad!" Scanlon. Mostly because the two of them and Vinny in any plane related quick look is the best thing ever.
Brad "Fuzzy Balls" Shoemaker also deserve a special mention. Whenever Brad gets angry or frustrated at a game I smile.
I voted for Will, but a lot of what makes him funny is simply that others frequently insulting him.
In terms of actually having clever jokes and quick wit it's gotta be Jeff.

Word. The banter back and forth is generally where some of the best jokes come from.
Its a near tie for me on quality between Vinny and Jeff, but there is definitely way MORE Jeff, which swings the vote to him.
well duhh
vinny ofc and i can see that the poll agree with me. though i find them all funny in different ways except Alex. dont know why since i really like the guy an yes he can be funny but its really rare, sorry alex

It's kind of annoying, but everytime someone makes a poll everyone always votes Vinny.
Best Dad? Vinny. Best taste in games? Vinny. Person least like Vinny? Vinny.
well most of the people who vote for vinny do it due to the fact that they think he is the funniest. you can say the same about people who vote for jeff. its pretty much the same.
though i am sad to see no one voted to drew. i know he is rarely on screen but still
Jeff, and deliberately so. He just broods on it. Like some have said already, he could be a stand up comedian. Some of them are inadvertently funny. Remember Will on the BombCast with his 'Exzech'yetable'. Especially Ryan's rabid response made it priceless. I laughed my ass off! It's the reciprocal chemistry that allow them to have their own unique humorous moments.

I think, with Alex, his style of sarcastic comedy comes across much better in a written form than visually/vocally.
As far as the poll is concerned, I'd have to agree with most here that Vinny's up-beat tone usually wins out, with Jeff a close second... and the rest of them an even closer joint third.
Jeff has a higher batting average for me, but Vinny has more home runs and RBIs, especially with his absurd video antics. So on the lineup, Jeff's a dependable go-to #1, and Vinny sits strong as the titanic cleanup hitter at #4. In terms of funniness, though, I vote Jeff then Vinny.
I voted Jeff. But I don't really think any of them are very funny on their own.. it's the dynamic between them. However, I think just about anything that Jeff and Vinny puts up together will have funny moments.
EDIT: Also, too bad Gary Whitta isn't on this list. He makes the tested podcast great.

So true. I've never laughed harder from any official Giant Bomb content as I have from Biff's witticisms.
Of the cast, though I picked Dave because he's got a dry sense of humor that makes me chuckle.

F I forgot Patrick.Nah, you got it correct the first time around
I don't know to this day I think Patricks insane Betabreakers story was great. The guy was naked in a pig mask!
Jeff, followed closely by Vinny. I find both to be quick witted when it co to videogame/cultural references, and capitalizing on them for comedic effect.
But gosh, watching Jeff bull**** for hours on that 'GB Is The New Wikipedia' video is enough to put him on top for me. Jeff + Vinny working together (see Deadly Premonition ER) is brilliance itself.
I'm not taking anything away from Jeff or Vinny, but when it comes to actual prepared comedy, I think Ryan is pretty fucking hilarious. In the last format of I love Mondays, before the current ghetto "What are we doing this week" ones where it was just his head talking? He nailed that every... single... week.
Vinny. Isn't Vinny always the one who gets the most votes, every time something like this gets asked?
