Who do you think is the funnier duo?

I have to go with Rutt and Tuke. Those two brothers crack me up every time I watch the movie. Timon and Pumba dont really make me laugh at loud. They are fun characters but not really funny characters.

That's a hard one. I knew Timon and Pumbaa before Rutt and Tuke, though I love watching the latter more. Perhaps because they are brothers, and they're on more equal ground than T&P. I'm not entirely sure how to describe it; both are great though.

Rutt and Tuke. Mostly cause Timon always got on my nerves, and I found the moose brothers way more entertaining.

Did yawl know that Rutt and Tuke were suppose to get their own tv show like Timon and Pumba? Disney scraped the idea though. As much as I love those two I dont think they would be able to carry their own show. I mean what would they do every episode?

Rutt and Tuke, definitely. I don't find Timon and Pumbaa to be really all that funny.. In some cases I find them annoying, actually. Rutt and Tuke are great though, and a nice comedy pair to add to the films.

Hmm Rut and Tuke are more funny than Timon and Pumbaa. I HATE Timon.

Rutt and Tuke get my vote.
Timon and Punbaa were okay but TLK1/2 ruined them for me, TLKII too and I haven't liked them much anymore. The two mooses are way better and I really liked the scene in the first movie, after Kenai left and Koda was alone, the "I love dew" scene. That truly captured me xD

I'll definitely go for Tuke & Rutt too! They're more funnier and original than Timon & Pumba.
Also because sometimes T & P are, as Paxis said, annoying x'D I'm totally right with her ;D

Rutt and Tuke! Love them, Timon and Pumba are alright, but they get my vote. Very funny and more original than T&P, plus they didn't get annoying during the movie.

Rutt and Tuke are By far Better then Timon and Pumbaa. They were way more funny, and Timon and Pumbaa were Highly Annoying.

Looking back I'll have to admit that Timon and Pumba played a bigger part in The Lion King than Rutt and Tuke did in Brother Bear. They were more a part of the story and helping the main character deal emotionally with everything he was going through.

Rutt and Tuke just sort of tagged along for the ride.

Well I have to agree with what's been said : I think Rutt and Tuke are funnier than Timon & Pumbaa. On the other hand, they don't have a big role, so... They're here just for the slapstick.

Over Timon and Pumba, I like Rutt and Tuke better. I'm not much for the "dumb" character types, but these guys were portrayed in a way that makes them enjoyable to watch.
