***Not only 21 and 24, but the creative minds behind the show themselves have these kind of debates all the time. In one [[WordOfGod commentary track]] Doc references a heated argument they had about what woman was hotter: Fiona Apple or Jewel. Another time on a convention panel, a fan wanted to know their opinions on the Lizzie Borden v. Anne Frank debate but accidently asked their opinions on a ''Helen Keller'' v. Anne Frank debate. [[http://video.adultswim.com/the-venture-bros/the-venture-bros-dragon-con-panel-2009.html The results can be seen here at 6:49]].

* In the ''{{Cheers}}'' episode "The Triangle," the bar regulars (who frequently debate mundane topics) get into an intense discussion of Roadrunner-Coyote cartoons. The argument escalates from whether the coyote is obsessed or simply hungry, to whether his ability to survive falling off a cliff indicates he's the Antichrist.

Now that they're older, they have more serious, adult debates, like Talk/WhoWouldWin: {{Spiderman}} or {{Batman}}?
