The Simpsons or South Park?
I have a casual awareness of both. Never dug deep into either. I'd go with Simpsons because the people in my life who I think are funny are typically huge fans of The Simpsons.

Dolly or Loretta?
Dolly. Her songwriting output is staggering.

Meat lover's or veggie?
Veggie. Haven't had a steak or hamburger in seven years.
