Editing Talk:The Li'l Brudder Show

==Fibonacci==

Anyone else notice that the number of legs of Li'l Brudder and Pals (0,1,2,4) can be described by a [[Wikipedia:Fibonacci number|Fibonacci]]-like sequence? Look out for a seven-legged spider!
*That's not a Fibonacci sequence. A more valid Fibonacci sequence would be 0,1,1,2,3.. <small><tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|<span style="color:#8B0000;">Aurora the Homestar Coder</span>]]</tt></small> 20:44, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
*It's fibonacci-like. f(0)=0. f(1)=1. f(n) = f(n-2) + f(n-1) + 1 where n>1 -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 20:49, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
*I also think f(n) = sum(fib(i)) for i=0 to n. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 20:51, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
**That one works, although tons of different sequence rules can be made for only four numbers. And the Fibonacci-like thing is a huge stretch, although I guess you weren't putting it on fun facts so it doesn't matter... <small><tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|<span style="color:#8B0000;">Aurora the Homestar Coder</span>]]</tt></small> 20:55, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
**Of course it's a stretch. That's why it's here! It was just one of those odd little things I happened to "notice". Now ... if a seven-legged spider show up in the next episode ... -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 21:01, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
**Hmmmm ... it's almost like this [http://www.research.att.com/cgi-bin/access.cgi/as/njas/sequences/eisA.cgi?Anum=A000071 sequence] -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 21:03, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

==Easter Egg==
Tendafoot most certainly does ''not'' say "Loof". I think he says "Phill" two times. &rarr;''<small><tt>[[User:FireBird|<font color=green>FireBird</font>]]</tt></small>''

How do you download the li'l brudder show.

==That's One Ugly Dog==
While I do appreciate their creative control and it's slightly humorous, Li'l Brudder went from a cute puppy to this skeezy looking dog with a hole in his tooth (Which I guess IS supposed to be a nod to Courage the Cowardly Dog but still). Am I the only one who feels this way? --[[User:heebrewhammer23|heebrewhammer23]] 16:38, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

You can share this on the forum page, listed on the front page. Most people here do not take too kindly to commentary on the talk pages. I hope you continue to enjoy your stay at the wiki! --[[User:Lunar Jesters|The Somewhat Awesome Jesty]] 19:52, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

--- My mistake --[[User:heebrewhammer23|heebrewhammer23]] 02:58, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

==Characters==
Should we make induvidual character pages for the mole and the legless parrot? I'm thinking we can splice Li'l Brudder, Tendafoot, and those two guys into one page. --[[User:thatkidsam|thatkidsam]] 19:44, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
:Ehhh... I'm skeptical, especially since we don't know those characters' names. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 19:50, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

::As am I. They have no speaking voices and really just stand there. Well, except for that parot, who falls over. &rarr;''<small><tt>[[User:FireBird|<font color=green>FireBird</font>]]</tt></small>''

I'm thinking of merging the [[Parrot]] and [[Possum]] pages under [[The Dregs]]. [[Li'l Brudder]] and [[Tendafoot]] could be merged there too. Thoughts? [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 00:59, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Quarterback ==

I think that Li'l Brudder's football-playing scene is definately a reference to when, in "Crying," Strong Bad makes The Cheat cry with the Li'l Brudder picture, saying, "I'm gonna be the quarterback when I grow up."  I'm new to this, but I was surprised that nobody had mentioned that yet.

: I think [[The Brothers Chaps]] meant it to be an obvious reference to [[crying]].

===Things are lookin' up! (DECLINED)===

The title of the page and Lil' Brudder's line at the end of the toon "Things are lookin' up!" is probably a reference to the Gershwin song of the same name. (Incidentally, there's also a line in the song that says "I'm happy as a pup.")[[User:TakuaKaita600|TakuaKaita600]] 21:39, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

*'''Comment.''' Here's a [http://www.fredastaire.net/music/lyrics/thingsarelookingup.htm link] to the lyrics. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 21:56, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**Yea, it's the line "Oh I'm happy as a pup since love looked up at me." But...not that Lil' Brudder's in love or anything...[[User:TakuaKaita600|TakuaKaita600]] 22:04, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Close, but Decline.''' It's just an optimism from someone who has no reason to be optimistic.  I doubt that the song popularized the phrase, even if it's old. [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 23:50, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''It's De Cline.''' --[[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 00:24, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''DECLINE'D''' It's a far stretch.--[[User:Mr. Sparkle|Mr. Sparkle]] 11:26, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' The only way LB can see a thing as he scrapes along is to ... well ... look up! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:18, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' There was a drawing of Lil' Brudder in the Weekly Sketchbook entitled "things are looking up!" It's more likely that they'd be referencing other content on their site. --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 18:57, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

*'''Decline''' and, by the way, if this WAS accurate, there would be nothing "ironic" about the "happy as a pup" line, unless you use the Alanis definition of irony (ie. "any funny coincidence.") --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 05:50, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

===Ugly Animation (DECLINED)===
The animation resembles the work of [[Wikipedia:Klasky Csupo|Klasky Csupo]] (most famous for [[Wikipedia:Rugrats|Rugrats]]), in which characters were often of the ugly-but-suppose-to-be-cute kind. The resemblance is strongest in the "skydiving" segment.

*'''Decline''' Wha...? Obviously not! Li'l Brudder is ''supposed'' to look raggety- he was made to make someone cry! --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 16:33, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Declime''' Li'l Brudder pretty much looks the way Strong Bad drew him originally. He looks odd in the skydiving sequence 'cuz he's prolly falling at near terminal velocity! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 16:44, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Not So Li'l Decline''' Li'l Brudder's the only one that may look "ugly" due to the addition of visible black hairs all over his body and discolored teeth.  Tendafoot looks exactly like the two-legged elephant Strong Bad drew, and the Legless Parrot and Human-Nosed Possum look like animated copies of the real animal, just with the aforementioned maladies.  I think TBC made Li'l Brudder "uglier" to draw more pity for everybody's favorite go-getter. [[User:GillanTheVillain|GillanTheVillain]] 17:01, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Here Comes li'l Second''' [[User:The_Pardack|The_Pardack]]
*'''Withdrawn''' I posted this originally, and on closer inspection I agree that Li'l Brudder looks more like Courage the Cowardly Dog than a K C creation. [[User:Lucres|Lucres]] 17:25, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Late 360 Shove-It To Decline'd!''' I think its unintentional, but kinda true about the "ugly, but cute" part. In spite of that, I also '''Second''' all of the above. [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 18 Apr 2005
**'''Second.''' He looks more like something John Kricfalusi (of the Ren and Stimpy fame) would create. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 20:50, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
***'''No he doesn't.''' [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 12:39, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Comment.''' Restored discussion. Please wait 2 weeks before declaring a verdict! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:10, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' I don't see any resemblance. -- [[User:Super Sam|Super Sam]] 07:29, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second?''' Li'l Brudder skydiving ''sort of'' looks like the animation of Klasky-Csupo, but that's just it. Never reminded me of anything the first time I watched it. -[[User:BurninatorBoombox&Markie|MK and/or BurnBox]] 23:17, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Ceiling height ==

The fun facts say that the ceiling seems to be a lot higher than previously supposed, as in Homestar Runner Pay Plus, when Homestar falls only partly through and lands on Strong Mad's head. It also says it seems to be the same height that it was in [[couch patch]], though really in couch patch it never gave a good hint as to how high the ceiling was. A better comparison would be in Strong Mad's character video, when Strong Mad knocks the camera over(you have to pause the flash file to see it, of course). There the ceiling would seem relatively low in comparison to the way it is in this toon, unless there are two blue and white stripes running across it. i.e., in Strong Mad's character video, the stripe seen behind him before he knocks the camera over is lower down on the wall, and the stripe we see as the camera falls over is higher above the lower stripe, which would seem to be the case, if you keep track of where the lower stripe is on the wall. If this is the case, the ceiling would be about the same height, but the higher stripe is just left out in the li'l brudder show. Of course, TBC were probably just taking artistic license with the ceiling height, though since there is a fun fact about it, I felt I should point this out.
--[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]

I really don't think there can be much credence lent to the height of the celing on the April Fools toon, since it was, y'know, April Fools and all.  I doubt Strong Bad is gonna have the trap door in any of his future e-mails.  Of course, that's just a guess, and maybe he will.  Then my perception of the toon's reality would be all outta whack.  Irregardlessly, I say that the April Fools stuff never happened, and that the ceiling has always been high up in the sky.  Perhaps.

== anyone else think homestar himself is getting funnier? ==

between homestar's fit in "long pants" and the free-floating sobbing, is homestar getting funnierer?

That would be debatable.  Personally, I have never really thought of Homestar as "funnierer" - [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 11:02, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

God, you have '''got''' to check your spelling, Mr. Grammar Cop. I mean, "funnierer"? -Kinsey

== I have made a prediction! ==

I bet that soon, not too long from now, there will be a full length Lil Brudder cartoon. -Kinsey

:Goin' out a limb are ya dere, Nostradamus? ;) -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:33, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Hey, Kinsey, I'll bet you twenty bucks that Strong Bad will make another email. ;) <small><tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|<span style="color:#8B0000;">Aurora the Homestar Coder</span>]]</tt></small> 19:37, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Ugh. I hope TBC have more sense than that. Li'l Brudder doesn't have the capacity to be extremely funny. The only funny parts in ''crying'' and ''The Li'l Brudder Show'' are Homestar crying. ''The Li'l Brudder Show'' short wasn't a total flop, but wasn't a big hit either. Personally, I think another Cheat Commandos toon would be welcome. --[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 19:45, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::Rock, rock on! Li'l Brudder's has his day in the sun. I wanna see how big the twins have grown and if the grout cleaner worked! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 20:00, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Where'd this come from ==

Please don'make fun of me, but where'd did this cartoon come from?

See [[crying]] for more info.----Sin City, ''another H*R fan''

It came from Strong Bad's drawing. [[User:The 386|The 386]] 23:32, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)
