It would have been close between Mr Bean and Charlie Chaplin, wouldn’t it?
Did a lot of vexing and smiting for a loving god I always thought.
Off to start the god thread…

To be fair, vexing, smiting, and claving asunder are just divine manifestations of “Tough Love”!

Possibly my favourite scene.
Claving assunder being to subdue and fragment with rhythmic devices? That peky god, he thinks of everything.
I’m not sure it would be possible to beat a tune out of the archaic active past participle of cleave, but it might be worth putting it to the lads over on the “Guitars and more toys” thread.

When you say fictional creatures are you limiting it to fictional creatures (like Rocket above, Jaws, Baloo etc) or creatures that are fictional (like ET, Yoda, Predator, Alien etc)…or no distinction?
