Coming off of the strangest and most desolate year for the film industry in recent memory, it's now time for Wattos season!

DIGGY will post the first category shortly: SEA LIFE.
A poll will go online soon after that. You can vote, but Diggy will be the arbiter. Watch your moves carefully!

 

Don’t worry I am sure this won’t be as bad as the 2020 Wattos. Was that 2020? Seems like it was longer

 

It’s been about a century since then, in fairness.

 

So it begins.

 

It's all rigged, I'm telling you, the whole academy is bought and paid for!

 

so much easier that way. and better

 

Hooray! The return of the Wattos is just what this year needs! Can't wait for all of the absurdity and cuteness that is sure to follow--to say nothing of the competitive vote wrangling and complex dissections of each ridiculous nominee!

 

And here we go.

Sea Life? See Life!

As an excuse to make this last far longer than anyone would want, we'll be having three rounds, quarter finals, semi finals and a final, each lasting a week. You'll be given eight gifs, each paired up. You can vote for one out of each pair, with the winner going to the next round. So exactly what you'd expect, really. In the event of any ties, I'll cast the winning vote. And as tradition dictates, backstabbing and lobbying are encouraged.

Octopot Vs Clean Tackle Penguin





Flipping Out Penguins Vs Giggly Seal





Ungracious Penguin I Vs Whomp Seal





Ungracious Penguin II Vs Stabby Crabby





(and full respect to @SuperWatto naming these things is tough!)

 

Octopot

Giggly Seal

Whomp Seal (the eyes make it there)

Stabby crabby

 

It seems like Watto can get people into trouble. I did like when a bunch of Wattos showed up in the first episode of Clone Wars Season 1.

 

It’s like naming your kids. You toy around with names for a while, but when you come up with the right one you realise it was always the name.

 

I’m noticing some severe penguin bias from the selection committee.

 

You have no idea how desperately uninteresting sealife gifs are until Watto asks you to search for them.

 

Clean tackle

Flipping out

whomp

Stabby crab

 

Tackles, flips, whomps, and stabs.

 

Clean Tackle Penguin
Flipping Out Penguins
Ungracious Penguin I
Ungracious Penguin II

I call it the Burgess Meredith Memorial Slate.

(represents how all of us felt about 2020)

 

Whomp Seal was just so hypnotic.

 

Couldn’t choose giggly as that Tik Tok water Mark was to big

 

It’s only fake when you choose to think it is
