*I think perhaps Homestar was trying to --[[user:Buz|Buz]]


Homestar's Head look seriously misshapen in the easter egg.  --[[user:Buz|Buz]]

Yeah, like his old school conterpart [[user:unknown|unknown]]

In the transcript, he's referred to as Stinko Man, shouldn't that be Stinkoman?--[[User:Dwedit|Dwedit]] 00:15, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)

== Pan Pan ==

Isn't Pan Pan a reference to the father in Ranma 1/2 who changed into a Panda and held up signs because he could not talk?

*Yeah, since pandas are native to China, and this is a Japanese cartoon, this is most likely a reference to Ranma 1/2

== Stinko        Man? ==

Why is it that in the transciption stinkoman's name has a space in it? (Also, I'll transcribe the lyrics to the 20x6 theme song) &rarr;[[User:evin290|evin290]] 19:06, 25 Feb 2005 (MST)

:Probably because the easter egg refers to him as "Stinko Man K 20X6". --[[User:Venusy|Venusy]] 02:32, 26 Feb 2005 (GMT)

==TeeBee==
Actually, a Japanese person would say テレビ, or "terebi", not Teebee.

Well, yes and no.  Terebi is the way that television is said mostly, yet should a japanese person say the us equivalent of "tv" (tee vee) they would say Teebee due to the lack of v in the language.

== Haiku? ==

I really don't think that what Strong Bad says at the beginning of the email should be considered a haiku. Just because there's a line with five syllables followed by a line with seven syllables followed by a line with five syllables doesn't mean it's a haiku. I think that the fact that part of the "haiku" is simply the salutation of the email he receieved really kinda proves that this wasn't their intent.

*But the fact that he just HAPPENED to add in the "ding dong" to make it 5 syllables proves it was their intent.

*Also Haiku has got something to do with Japan and the whole email has got with Japan.

The credits for Mike Rock and MattMatt are references to [[The Brothers Chaps|Mike and Matt Chapman]].

*This is either something blatantly obvious or a supreme stretch.  Since TBC aren't commenting either way, it's not worth the dispute.  Make up your own damn mind, but don't write it down like it's the truth. '''Decline''' [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 03:21, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*Calm yourself, Dasrik. No need for such a rant. Anyway, I say '''Accept.''' And, dasrik, it's not blatingly obvious OR a surpreme stretch. It's enough so that someone might not know it, yet not completely out-of range...exaclty the kind of thing a Fun Fact needs.[[User:TakuaKaita600|TakuaKaita600]] 17:35, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**I was perfectly calm.  Read it again.  There are lots of people named Mike and Matt, enough so that this kind of thing could be disputed til the cows come home, or until TBC set the record straight.  Exactly the kind of thing that makes a Fun Fact NOT fun.  [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 06:49, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
***But how many of them are directly involved in the creation of Homestar Runner cartoons? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 07:08, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Best Decline I ever spent''' I think it is just too obvious and isn't exactly a fun fact. --[[user: lappy 486]]
*'''Delcine''' While, unlike Dasrik, I am CONFIDENT that the reference was to Mike and Matt Chapman (they made the cartoon!), this is a little too obvious. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 07:08, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' And a comment on what Jay said: If ''I'' had a regular cartoon, there's no way I would ''accidentally'' put my own name in it. So the reference is totally intentional... and obvious. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:20, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**I '''second''' itsdotcom and Jay. --[[user: Lappy 486]]
*'''Decline.''' It's both too glaringly obvious and too utterly unverifiable. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:31, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Comment.''' Perhaps if a reason as to why they were listed as such was given, this would make a better Fun Fact, yeah? However, here, this is not really an option as, there seems to be no apparent reason why they did that. It would work if maybe, for example, Mike listed his name as Mike-Hai. In the meantime, someone should try and see if maybe that's a reference and then list THAT as a fun fact.---[[User:TakuaKaita600|TakuaKaita600]]

*'''A Different Approach.''' What if, instead of a fun fact, we just linked their names up in the list of credits? Like this: "Director [[Mike Chapman|Mike Rock]] / Designer [[Matt Chapman|MattMatt]]".
*'''Declined''' No, are you serious? I never noticed. Gosh! Come on, they made it. They just didn't want to confuse people like you by making up fake names. -Alice

===Oolong's Namesake (DECLINED)===
Someone named Oolong Singy is credited for [[Combolations]] in the cartoon, this may be a reference to Oolong the pig from Dragon Ball or [[Wikipedia:Oolong (rabbit)|Oolong the rabbit]], whose owner is Japanese.
*'''Decline.''' I figure the reference is most likely to Oolong, the traditional Chinese tea enjoyed throughout Asia.  The characters mentioned here are named after the tea. --[[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 07:49, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

**'''Comment''' 42'd is probably a combination refrence to forty "second'd" and "two'd." Always good to see a fan of H2G2.--[[User:homestar3.14|homestar3.14]] 17:16, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
===So cool an unseen email (DECLINED)===
Strong Bad says "So cool an e-mail, I thought you would enjoy it," as if he has read it before he replied to it. However, in other emails (such as part-time job or your friends) he acts surprised to see the content, as if he has not read it before. 
*'''Decline''' I have trouble saying why, but I know there's something wrong with this. Be it that it's part of the haiku, or something else, I don't think this really needs to be stated. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 05:23, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''So cool a Decline, I thought I would Second it.''' This is a parody of the [http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=WORM_KLEZ.H&VSect=T Klez] email virus that used the infamous subject line "so cool a flash,enjoy it".  It's not meant to imply that Strong Bad has actually read the email beforehand. --[[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 08:00, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
