Battle of Movie Moments: The Exorcism of Jonah Hill vs. Since U Been Gone Medley

Your Champion
The Exorcism of Jonah Hill (This Is The End)

VS.

Since U Been Gone Medley (Pitch Perfect)

The Case for The Exorcism of Jonah Hill (1):
Things go south very quickly for the cast of This Is The End, culminating in the demonic possession of Jonah Hill.  His friends gather around to try to exorcise him of the demon in what starts off as a fairly serious scene.  Then it becomes clear that Jay (Jay Baruchal) has no idea what he is doing, and it degenerates from that point on until (hilariously) no one is even paying attention to the demon possessed person they share a room with.

The Case for Since U Been Gone Medley:
Featuring most of the main cast, this moment in Pitch Perfect is a great introduction to several of the periphery characters while demonstrating just how much work goes into an acapella arrangement - mixing those singing the notes with those singing the melody in a celebration of the form, to the tune of one of Kelly Clarkson's biggest hits.

Which do you pick?
The Exorcism of Jonah Hill
Since U Been Gone Medley
