I think he was infinitely more funny than Lion - who also repeats himself over and over again. And sure, part of the fun is his obsession and his unique character. I like those weird persons.
Burke (though a slow year) and swag for nonstop on point punchlines, should been nominated (prolly even win for the latter), but of those nominated, its between piotr and ze awesome leprechaun (even if I love Jems animal loving sense of humour hehe), edge it out for piotr for ridicolous creativity and delivery in his graphic editing
Yeah, Burke is hilarious, though I guess the fact that he's not all that active at the moment contributed to it. Swag is actually who I wanted to vote for here, because he consistently makes me laugh, but he missed out on the cut for the top five (extremely surprisingly I might add... he had one less nomination than Lion).
