== Lollipop? ==
I believe they're more properly called ice cream bars. This might be an American name though, but for context it may be more approperate. --[[User:AndrewNeo|AndrewNeo]] 17:53, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

: That's what I was thinking too.. --[[User:Mick|Mick]] 18:00, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
: They're being referenced as both lollipops and popsicles, and it's neither. --[[User:AndrewNeo|AndrewNeo]] 18:01, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

I've always known them as "Fudgesicles", although that is a registered trademark of Good Humor. Note that, whatever you call them, they are not lolliops. A lollipop is made of hard candy, not frozen chocolate pudding. However, a quick google search reveals that there really is such a thing as chocolate lollipops, though these are also significantly different from other lollipops. Tootsie also makes a chocolate flavored tootsie roll pop(which already has a chocolate center). 

The "pops" in question are almost definitely fudgesicles, as they are revealed to be brown to the core, not vanilla with a chocolate coating, as ice cream bars are.  [[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]] 18:08, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

: I saw part of this discussion before changing them to "ice cream bars" - it's certainly a lot more correct than "lollipop" or "popsicle." --[[User:Jay|<span style = "color: #9090FF">''Jay''</span>]] [[User talk:Jay|<span style = "color: #006030"><small>(Talk)</small></span>]] 18:27, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

We just call them chocolate fudge bars in school, because now that I think about it a ice cream bar is more like ice cream on a stick with chocolate coating. --[[User:AndrewNeo|AndrewNeo]] 22:39, 9 May 2005 (UTC) <!-- I hate it when you forget to notice you're not logged in.. -->

: I still say they're Fudgesicles, or Chocolate Pudding Pops if you like.

They CAN'T be chocolate lolipos. Those arn't "scientificly possible"

You've got a point!

I ''have'' had a chocolate-flavored lollipop before. Didn't taste very good, though. -[[User:67.22.197.57|67.22.197.57]]

I think it's most accurate to call them Pudding Pops, because that is what Strong Bad called them in Weird Dream. [[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]] 00:42, 27 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Various notes==
You know the table where Homestar is seen on the T.V.?  Well, I'm guessing that's Cheat Commandos...O's table in the toon.  When the King of Town is talking about an unnamed person, he;s talking about the Poopsmith.  Bubs burning "Exhibit A" is a reference to Strong Bad E-mail lackey, as it showed that Bubs might have done some illegal things.--[[User:THE TOAD|THE TOAD]]
:I'm not sure about the first. It might be a valid point, I dunno. Of course the King is referring to the Poopsmith, but I don't think that needs to be mentioned on the page. And the "Exhibit A" burning and the Dorauxgard confrontation in lackey don't reference each other - they're just similar jokes about the same concept. --[[User:Jay|<span style = "color: #9090FF">''Jay''</span>]] [[User talk:Jay|<span style = "color: #006030"><small>(Talk)</small></span>]] 23:49, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

== Strong Sad? ==

Anyone else think Strong Sad acts out of character in this toon? I mean he normally doesn't act like someone who'd care too much about underwear.

*I don't understand how you can not care if someone individually priced and auctioned off your underwear.  As far as being attached to a specific pair of underdrawers, Strong Sad seems to have uncommonly strong feelings about inanimate objects.  For instance they way he likes "board games more than most people" in his [[Strong_Sad#Character_Video_Transcript|character video]].

:Either way it's weird seeing Dumpy not-naked. He and The Cheat have it going on for nudity. ^_^

== Inside references ==

It seems unlikely to me that the "Bug Swallow! BUG SWALLOW!" bit is a reference to "Rose face! ROSE FACE!" as "Rose Face!" is very likely a reference to "Rosebud!" from ''Citizen Kane.'' The connection seems tenuous at best - there are probably a good number of similar exclamations on HSR. I would vote that it be removed.
* I know! I wish people would stop attempting to add it! Someone even tried to make a PAGE dedicated to this tenuous connection! --[[User:Jay|<span style = "color: #9090FF">''Jay''</span>]] [[User talk:Jay|<span style = "color: #006030"><small>(Talk)</small></span>]] 19:02, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

I wouldn't call "the most quackinest" a specific reference to either the character page or Shake Your Rump: double superlatives are common in hip hop (another example off the top of my head: "You win our award for most stinkiest," Del, If You Must).

It's actually "You get our vote for most stinkiest", but I have to admit that Shake Your Rump is what came to mind when I heard "Most quackinest"

== Movie Reference? ==

Does anyone else think that the reference to "Dr Bubs" as a fashion consultant is a reference to the movie "Hitch," in which Will Smith plays the "Date Doctor" Alex Hitchens?

Not at all.   I guess you could say that calling Bubs a paranormal investigator would be a reference to the movie series Ghost Busters, but I would say that both examples are tenuous at best and could not be considered a "fun fact" - [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 02:12, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

== Dr. Bubs ==

Who keeps deleting my comment about the inside reference between Bubs' business card and [[CGNU]] TV/VCR Repair??? This connection is just as relevant and clear as the connection to [[12:00]].

== SNES ==

When Strong Bad says "Aw. Now my head's not taped to the TV." you can clearly see a north american super nes in the TV.
I don't know if that would be a real-world reference or not, thought I might mention it.

EDIT: ok, I take back "clearly"

== Blue And-1s? ==

Could be a reference to the popular sneakers 'And 1s'. Especially the way Strong Sad intonates the phrase.
: I doubt it. He's saying he's going to do a search for "blue and ones", instead of just "blue ones". --[[User:Jay|<span style = "color: #9090FF">''Jay''</span>]] [[User talk:Jay|<span style = "color: #006030"><small>(Talk)</small></span>]] 03:27, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

== Theme Music ==

That is the coolest music I've ever heard! It seems to be some sort of Casio instrument with a rythym accompanyment in the background...but what instrument? --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 21:59, 14 May 2005 (UTC)


it sounds a little like a kazoo to me. [[User:Kefti islander|Kefti islander]] 00:37, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== The good times are over! ==

It's just an idea but could this sentence be (or rather the fact that Homestar keeps repeating it even if the bug swallowing doesn't have anything to do with it) a reference to the "the brothers chaps are losing their touch" kind of comments that almost every toon or E-mail provokes in some fans?


I thought it was just his way of saying "I'm going to die!"

Or maybe he thought he'd have no more fun.

"The Good Times are Over" is a cliched phrase from whenever someone is on a deathbed at an early age, meaning that their times of running around and having fun. It is rarely used to demonstrate a lack of quality.

== Homestar killed Caleb ==

Why the heck did Homestar kill Caleb? Was he hired to?
:It's a joke, dude.  -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 23:14, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

== Bubs the Ripper ==

Does anyone have any clue how Bubs got his hands on Exhibits A and B (possibly the pancreas)? I'm fearing a homicide reference here. Is it even a pancreas? And what court is there in Free Country USA to convict him, anyhow?


No way! That's definetly not a REAL pancreas!

Oh MY GOD! BUBS IS A MURDERER!!!! he must have gotten the pancreas from homeschool winner. he probably killed him. I wouldn't put it past him

== The remote ==

I just know I saw that remote somewhere before. Isn't it the remote from the old toon menu? You know, when Sbemail, TGS and Marzipan's answering machine weren't buttons yet. [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 20:18, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
:Yeah, it is. But it's not really a reference, is it? -Walking Armless

== A few proposed transcript revisions ==

* When Bubs is looking in Homestar's mouth, I don't hear "Curious, yes."  I only hear "Yes, yes," said with some kind of an accent - like "Yeyes, yes."  Is it just me?
* When Bubs is looking in Homestar's mouth, Homestar's "gurglings" sound like he's trying to repeat what Bubs just said - if I were to transcribe it, "Ogey," "Aa-ahh ahh," "Ingoein."  Worth mentioning?
* I don't know how anyone got "A-na-ma" in Strong Bad's line "A-na-ma! Not today, McDorkle."  Isn't it just a regular ol' "Ah-ah-ah-ah" (four syllables) type scolding, no extraneous consonants?

Yeah, I'm not a "bold" editor. :-P

== ''Who'' shot Caleb? ==

I've listened to this cartoon several times, and I'm almost certain that the TV announcer does not say "Find out ''whom'' shot Caleb," as stated in the transcript, but rather says the grammatically correct "''who'' shot Caleb" with a strong emphasis on the word "who" which may have caused some to hear an "m" at the end. I realize a Fun Fact about this has already been STUFF'd and accepted; I'm bothering to bring it up because it seems those who voted on this Fun Fact didn't vote based on the accuracy of the fact but rather voted on its merits assuming it was accurate. I thought I would at least see if others hear this line the way I do. [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] 00:48, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
:I know this post is pretty old, but I thought I'd second and revive it.

== Atari? You tell me... ==

http://pictures.greatestjournal.com/userimg/4792593/830733

I'm guessing this is the picture you can see when Strong Bad rips his face off of the TV. It says on the main page that it's an Atari, but I can't really tell. I do make out a Gamecube and N64 on the right side though. (I guess we know where their brand loyalties lie.) Can anybody better acquainted with old videogame systems tell me?


The system on the top shelf, far right is clearly a Colecovision.  It's black, has a silver label in front, and that's a Coleco controller on top.  And remember, they had a Coleco controller in the Space Program email.  --[[User:4.249.201.247|4.249.201.247]] 05:56, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

so, i put this thing up saying that the drum beat was the same, but i wonder. is it a useless reference to a nonexistent topic? please answer this. [[User:Seriously|Seriously]] 00:14, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

== The Blue Ones ==

I just did a google image search for the blue ones and got the folowing forst result [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/The_Blue_Ones] the google search is here [http://images.google.com/images?q=the+blue+ones&hl=en&lr=&sa=X&oi=images&ct=title].  You gotta love the irony.

== closed bug ==

I kmow that the thing about the bug not being there when it flew into Homestar's mouth is closed but I'd just like to say that I've always felt that TBC did not make the bug visible to create a feeling of uncertanty or disbilief in the "fact" that a bug flew into Homestar's mouth.  I mean, come on, this is homestar we're talking about he does have an "unbelievably loose grasp on the world around you (him)"  I think we should take the thing about the "invisible bug" off the remarks section.

:Still, it remains that the remark is true. I agree with your interpretetion of why the bug was not visible, but it doesn't discount the fact that it is invisible. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:22, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Is someone finally trying to sue bubs, and is bubs geting rid of the evidence? --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 03:17, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

:I think that was simply left to the imagination of the viewer. Bubs would get into that type of trouble, wouldn't he? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:19, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

:Well spotted, but probably a coincidence, as the Caleb in Homestar Runnar is not called Strong.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 21:51, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

== Possible inside reference? ==

Is the "EEEEEMAIL" on Bubs' paranormal investagator card a reference to the [[Malloween Commercial]] short? Homestar goes "EEEEE!" with the eyeball at the end, and the business card is kind of creepy, like Halloween. Maybe I'm thinking about this too much. {{User:Steve/sig}} 22:53, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
:IIRC Homestar makes the eyeball go "SEEE" - as isn't that the sound an eyeball would make? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:57, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
::Since when do eyeballs make sounds at all!? ("See" would make sense, though) {{User:Steve/sig}} 23:03, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

why is there two fun fact sections in this page? [[User:68.63.159.4|68.63.159.4]] 15:25, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

:The first one is for the toon as it was released on the web, and the second one is for additional fun facts relating to the DVD version only.  I changed the second heading to a subheading to reflect this.  {{User:Trey56/sig}} 15:38, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

== Google Blue Ones ==

This was correctly reverted from the article, but it's certainly worth noting here. At this writing, a Google Image Search for "the blue ones" in quotes [http://images.google.com/images?q=%22the%20blue%20ones%22] yields as the top hit [[:Image:blue ones.PNG|this image]]. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:51, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
