== Contrast Dial ==

Why did TBC not make the contrast dial work on the compy 386 in this toon? -[[User:No_Loafing|No_Loafing]]

== Strong Bad Email? ==

Hey, how come everybody in the world thinks this is an actual Strong Bad Email? - [[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]
:Huh?  Who thinks that?  We certainly don't here on the Wiki.  It isn't a subpage of [[Strong Bad Email]] and it is listed on the [[Toons]] page.  The only reason it appears on the [[Strong Bad Email]] page is for continuity.  Who else in the "world" thinks that it is an actual Strong Bad Email?  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]]
::I thought that since it was on the Strong Bad Email page I assumed that everybody on the wiki thought it was an email.  Now I understand.  Thanks.  -[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]

== Homestar's Expenses ==

Under Homestar's Expenses: "It comes out to $8727.07." This isn't on the sheet in the Easter Egg. If this is included, the 'Monthly' protection fees probably should be added in 12 times each, right? [[User:61.51.67.117|61.51.67.117]] 06:17, 24 Feb 2005 (MST)

:It looks like someone just simply added the numbers together.  Your idea sounds good, we'd just need to make sure that it is labeled as a yearly total.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]]  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 10:15, 24 Feb 2005 (MST)

== The Cheat ==
Is this the only time we see his back?  I don't remember seeing it in other toons... --[[User:DMurphy|DMurphy]] 03:43, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Nope, what 'bout Strong Bad Sings? Or any time The Cheat is at his computer showing SB his work?

== Legal page ==
''When Homestar says "Bo-ring!" it sounds exactly like it does on the Legal Page. ''

I once added something similar to this except it was for a sweetie cuppin' cakes episode and it was a sound off bronco trolleys, but the fact got delted, so why is this here? --[[User:Sultn|Sultn]] 04:45, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Doesn't anyone care?--[[User:Sultn|Sultn]] 23:57, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)

That's it I'm deleting it. If you guys bring it back then I'm putting back my fact. [[User:Sultn|Sultn]] 00:48, 13 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==fonzie?==
when the cheat slaps the machine and it says "trogdor", could it be a reference to arthur fonzirelli, the character from happy days who could slap a jukebox and make it play music? --[[User:i know. can you believe it?|ik.cybi?]]

:Ehhhh.... See, this is a good example of why, even before I was active in the Wiki, I used to read the Talk and Stuff pages. Something like that would never in a million years make it onto the front page, as a '''fact''', but it's good to find out about if you didn't know. Whether it was a [[Stupid Coincidence Magazine|coincidence]] or not, it piques your curiosity. --[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 05:59, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::I think this is to much of a strech. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 03:15, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

==Kewpie Dan similarity==
Am I the only one that has noticed the extreme similarity between the baseball card Easter egg and [[Kewpie Dan]]? {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 04:04, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

== The cheat joining in with the song ==

I'm sure the cheat joins Strong Bad and Strong Mad when they sing "TROGDOR!!!"

== Trogador ==

I disagree with the recent removal from this page and from [[Trogador]] of the statement that the machine says "Trogador" when Strong Bad kicks it. I most definitely hear the machine say "Trogador". I'm not going to revert, since we've already had enough reversions on this topic today, but I do think we should discuss this change. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:23, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
:I was a little confused as to why all the edits were being reverted too, as I had always been hearing "trog-a-d-or", and it had seemed like a perfectly fine referance. - {{User:The Joe/sig}} 03:27, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
::You guys.  It says TROG-A-DOR!!  I know it does.  I can hear it.  The arcade machine is supposed to sound off BECAUSE it's making fun of how it doesn't sound like what it SHOULD SOUND LIKE.  Don't you get that?  It's supposed to sound like trog-a-dor even though it's spelled Trogdor.  These reverts are stupid. IMO.--{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 04:01, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

::''(Edit Conflict)'' The machine definately says "Trogdor" when hit. There's a slight pause in there, maybe "Trog&middot;dor", but not enough that you'd be able to fit a vowel into. However, if I listen hard enough, I can kinda hear how the emphasis at the start of the "o" in "-dor" could be mistaken for a consonant, in which case the /d/ before it could be mistaken for /ə/. Have a look at [http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/7691/trogdoroo4.png this image]. The curvy red line up the top is the extra emphasis added by the slow vibrato (added to make it sound more low quality). The top line of text is what I hear. The bottom line is what I can almost hear if I try really hard and then think "ehh... it almost sounds like something close to that". Basically, the vibrato makes it emphasised in 3 points along the sound... the words go "TROG-doOOooOOor", but could be heard as "TROG-a-DOooOOor". So, in short: it's definately "Trogdor". The intentional low-qualityness of the recording can make it sound like "Trogador" if you listen in a certain way... but it's still "Trogdor". {{User:Phlip/sig}} 04:07, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

:::: Yeah well I still think your wrong. I mean just listen to it....[http://www.angelfire.com/movies/swmidi/trogador.mp3 by clicking here] Because I have an ear for sound, music, etc.  And I know there is a syllable in there. --{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 04:16, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

It sounds more like "TEReh-BUH-dor" to me. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 04:21, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

:"Just listen to it"? Do you think I haven't heard it yet? Did I somehow make that graph charting out all the phonemes without allowing the sound to reach my speakers? I also have an "ear for sound, music, etc", and yet mine disagrees with yours. And there's no way it's "TER-eh-BAH-dor"... I have no idea how you could hear that. It's either "Trog-dor" or possibly "Trog-a-dor". However, based on the fact that this discussion is happening at all, I'm willing to let the reference stay on "Trogador", referring the fact that this ''could be heard as'' "Trogador" (as opposed to the "is" it was before)... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 04:31, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

::I'm not trying to insult you.  I said "Just listen to it," as in listen to it at a slower speed.  You may disagree with me, but I do not see HOW it is/can be just Trogdor.  I think TBC MEANT for it to sound like "Trog-a-dor" and when I hear it (especially at a slower speed) I can very much hear the "A"... there are three syllables Trog.. a... dor.. The 20x6 version of Trogdor is called Trogador for a reason.  They didn't just happen to make it up so it sounds like what people think they are hearing.  They named him that because they intentionally made it sound that way.  That's what I think.  Can't we all vote on this... like STUFF it or something?--{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 04:37, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

:::(This is not a STUFF question, by the way.) Despite every effort to hear three syllables, I cannot. I hear "Trogdor" every time. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:39, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

::::When it's a case of trying to figure out the facts, rather than just opinion (such as opinion about what qualifies as a "Fun Fact") we try to avoid voting as long as possible... like on Wikipedia, [[Meta:Don't vote on everything|Don't vote on everything]]. As for slowing it down, I did, and I still heard "Trogdor". I just tried it again just now, and still hear "Trogdor", though it could possibly be "Trogd&middot;or", there's a very slight break in there caused by the aformentioned vibrato. But it's still "Trogdor". {{User:Phlip/sig}} 04:45, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

:::Ok ok ok.  I understand how STUFF works, thanks for explaining that for me.  Yes, this is more opinion than anything, so your right it's not STUFF-able.  But at least hear it how I am by listening to this.  [http://www.angelfire.com/movies/swmidi/anothertrog.mp3 this is how i hear it]  I say it with three syllables and then with the just two against the slowed recording.  If you still don't hear it than I don't know what I can do.  I hear it one way you guys another.  But I just asked three of my friends here with me and they all think they hear Trog-a-dor too.  *shrug*--{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 04:51, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

::::OK, well in the one you say just "Trogdor", the "dor" is still later, making it like "trog-''{pause}''-dor"... get rid of that pause, starting the "dor" where you would normally say the "a". Something like [http://members.lycos.co.uk/phlipping/trogdor.ogg this]... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 05:22, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I just don't hear "Trogdor". I still think it's "TEReh-BUH-dor", seeing that the first syllable is pronounced oddly. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 05:07, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

::lol.  I don't see how your seeing TEReh-BUH-dor.  Anyway.  Here it is again like you suggested (i believe) Phlip.  [http://www.angelfire.com/movies/swmidi/anothertrog2.mp3 i still here it as trog-a-dor]. --{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 05:31, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
