Board 8 > Whose resume is the most impressive: Mario, Barbie, or Homer Simpson?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Last time, Barbie trounced Mario, but this time, I have a more complete list of careers, and I've added Homer to the list. Jobs and sports they all share have been condensed into a single list, so each resume only lists careers at least one other person lacks. A major weakness for Homer is that he has by far the fewest scientific accomplishments, and is notably the only one lacking a medical license and a career in computer engineering. Meanwhile, Barbie has never been an umpire or inventor like the others, and Mario has never been a beekeeper or politician.

Quickly checking, it turns out there is.

Is this a srs question?

Mario has a new movie coming out about him this Christmas, no one cares about the Barbie characters themselves outside of Barbie and Ken. As for The Simpsons? You either like it or you don't.

Everyone loves Mario.

More people know who Barbie is than Mario or Homer.

Mario has her beat in sports but I think Barbie has a much more significant list of careers. Homer loses points for competency in many of these professions

Homer

Homer is barely competent in like 90% of these, so he's instantly disqualified. Mario's better in sports, but Barbie has a more varied list of careers, so probably her.

this is clearly barbie- the long list of medical professionals definitely wins out here.

She's been the head of government of two countries, and royalty as well.

King beats princess, though.

How many of these has Barbie actually been seen performing and not just dressed up as? I'm not familiar enough with Barbie canon to know, but I assume some of these she's just modeling as

Only one of them has been the grim reaper though.

I like the idea of Mario being a "master of all science and knowledge"

All of them. Barbie holds the careers, not just dresses up as them.

there was a simpsons skating game, could probs put skateboarding under homer's sports

Barbie and it's not close. The reason is simple - she's actually a technical expert in each of her fields while Mario engages in bullshit fantasy versions of professions and Homer is a screwup at many of his odd jobs.
