 * Insert Freud vs Teresa copypasta here*

But ye, for the most part it's been covered well here. What I really enjoy beyond that great contrast (and thus high potential for hilarity) is that unlike every other suggestion I've seen it actually is based off the thing I see Freud as being most known for, as opposed to something like Freddy Krueger vs Freud, which focuses on a different aspect that's less specific to Freud.

Phil vs Freud is kind of a Bieber vs Beethoven Psychology battle, due to Phil's position and the "tv doctor" stereotype that exists. Aside from that, I think Phil is incredibly dull, and even further, with Oprah being used, and Phil even getting a reference and cameo, I think he'd be even less interesting to have now.

Freud vs Insert Crazy Person(s) has one thing in particular that immediately makes me uninterested. At its very core it's kind of weighted in Freud's favor. He's supposed to deconstruct the crazy person he faces, or even a gauntlet of them, and that puts emphasis on him dissing everyone else. Scrooge vs Trump works because 1) It's following the story and 2) the narrative allows for it because there's an express purpose. Also, the fact that Scrooge vs Trump exists kind of makes it redundant anyway.

And while Lloyd definitely is the reason it's become as popular as it has, that's not a detriment to it. It just brought it to the forefront.
