Okay, a lot of times people say "Hey, this was here lots of times" for something un-jokely, like [[Pizza]], [[Pie]], [[Peas]], [[Diapers]], and other things, and they have been listed as inside jokes or running gags. Those things shou;d be listed under the [[:Category:Items|items category]] or the [[Items]] page rather than here, don't you think? {{User:Salty/sig}} 18:33, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

:I think the reasoning here is that they might have secret significance with the Bros. Chaps that we don't know about. Thus, an inside joke. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::Exactly. It kinda falls under "Why pie and not cookies? Why pizza and not fried chicken? Plus, items are more for reccuring items used in the universe such as Pom Pom's gun, or Strong Sad's iPod. Items, I'm pretty sure, have to be in a somewhat uniformed design, not "a word here, a costume or abstract reference there". {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 18:43, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

I think we need an Inside Joke for The Cheat's head exploding. It happens many times, if I'm not mistaking, but what would we title it as? Any ideas? -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

::: Perhaps this shouldn't be an inside joke but a running gag. [[User:Sbdisciples|Sbdisciples]] 02:35, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Something I've noticed almost every time it's come up is in the emails/toons where there's a title or handwriting there always seem to be lowercase I's, most notibly when things are all caps. Would this be an inside joke, even worth mentioning, or what? --[[User:AndrewNeo|AndrewNeo]] 22:02, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

:I actually think this is a good idea.  In [[Shopping for Danger]], the Price Style supermarket's logo is written PRiCE STYLE.  --[[User:Some HSR themed username|Some HSR themed username]] 13:55, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'ma go make a mock up in my userspace to see if this article has any merit.  Check it out [[User:Some_HSR_themed_username/i|here]] {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 23:02, 15 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Should we count the jibblies as an inside joke?  They have happened three times.  {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}

== Difference between inside jokes and running gags? ==

Someone please explain the difference to me. Several articles appear under both.--[[User:RatherAnnoying]]

:I'm not sure, but I think a running gag is something that appears a ''lot,'' and an inside joke is a joke you wouldn't have gotten if you hadn't seen some of the cartoons. (I'm just babbling now). Frankly, I don't see a very big difference between the two. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 02:28, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

== Andy Griffith Inside joke? ==
 
-
 
-
Would Andy Griffith/''The Andy Griffith Show'' be a valid inside joke? Since in [[extra plug]] his head taped on the TV, and in [[highschool]] Don Knotts shows up in the Roman-time thing... just want to make sure it's valid. Thanks. --[[User:MrsCommanderson|MrsCommanderson]] 23:02, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Shouldn't Prof. Tor Coolguy be an inside joke? [[User:Sbdisciples|Sbdisciples]] 03:50, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

...this page is redundant. Running gags is one thing, but how can you have inside jokes on a cartoon, unless TBCs or Missy or someone makes a joke hidden in the cartoon that only they would get...
 
-
 
-
For instance: Trogdor, fhqwhgads, and even the main character Homsar are no longer inside jokes, even though they started out that way.

None of those are inside jokes, they're running gags that became key features of the site. Do people get me here?--[[User:Original Nick|Nick]] 22:44, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

:Inside jokes are such because we don't quite know why they're funny. They're something that gets mentioned, but we're not sure why it has significance to the Chaps. Running gags are things that are funny because they appear so often. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 06:53, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== Lowercase i's Gag ==

*You know how the image with lowercase i's on the store's marquee? Speaking of that, are the Bros. Chaps ever going to add more of the lowercase I jokes in any related HR media? Because the last time I saw the joke, it was already used was since last year. If not, will they ever use any lowercase letter joke (excluding the letter "i".)? -{{User:Umlaut76/sig}} 16:43, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

== Urban Legends? ==

Do any of you think that references to urban legends in the H*R universe is an inside joke or a running gag?  If you search "urban legends" on this site, 12 results come up.--[[User:Particleman24|Particleman24]] 00:26, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

== Spoken Verbs ==
 
-

I've noticed this for a long time, but I scoured the Wiki and haven't found any pages on spoken verbs. You know, like in [[alternate universe]] how Strong Bad and Old Timey SB say "jump" when they jump, or in Twenty THANXty Six when Stinkoman begins "making small rocks float up off the GRRROOOOOUUUUUUUUND!" and another example in 8-Bit Is Enough when the Munchox yells "Roar! Growl!" and one more still in [[email thunder]] when Strong Bad says that he's "almost, ''sniff'', not totally disgusted." Just a few things, but maybe that Stinkobuff might not be the best example. It's possible that it is, though. Should we go ahead and make it a page?--[[User:AeroSnake|AeroSnake]] 18:33, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

:Something like [[Self-Narrated Actions]]? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:36, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

:Ah, that works just as well. I'll get to adding.--[[User:AeroSnake|AeroSnake]] 21:46, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
