| - | === Baby Doll Crazy Dance (Declined) ===
| |
| - | When Strong bad realizes that he can't be a fangley fish and dance on top of the fangley fish at the same time, you hear an Atari sounding noise, and the "Baby Doll" dancer starts going back and forth really quickly. I think this is a reference from an old Atari 2600 game, but for the life of me, I can't remember which one.

| - | === Off-screen typing (Accepted as a rewrite)===
| |
| - | Normally, Strong Bad doesn't type anything into the computer unless the toon is focused on him, and in the cases he does you can hear him typing. In this cartoon, you can see at the end that Strong Bad typed in all his Sterrence comments, but the toon was focused on Sterrence and no typing sounds were heard.

| |
| - | *'''Decline.''' I'll make it difficult... The thing is, the whole issue is quite ambiguous, since the way the perspective works, we never see the keyboard and it's possible that Strong Bad IS able to type without us seeing.

| - | == Christmas Lights ==
| |
| - |
| |
| - | I think I've discovered another sort of error, although I don't know if it's a goof or a glitch (there seems to be some grey area between them). While trying to capture an image of the Homestar Lure (for use in personal Quote of the Week images), I tried pausing the Flash file, and advancing frame by frame through the 'fangly-fish' scene. The Cheatfish that swims by lays over top the fangly-fish in most respects, except that the 'Christmas lights' were OVER the The Cheatfish image (and they also keep changing colour while paused). I dunno if this is enough to merit some sort of goof or glitch, but I felt it needed to be mentioned somewheres. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
| |
| - | :The christmas-lights-still-flashing-while-paused thing isn't a glitch, it's simply a remnant of how they are made in flash. And even if it was a glitch it wouldn't be notable - in my opinion this comes under the same heading as outside-the-frame glitches - you're not supposed to watch it paused, when watching normally you'll never see it, so why bother to handle it? However the cheatfish going behind the christmas lights ''is'' notable. However it's not a glitch or a goof - we generally put PbTC glitches under remarks, assuming that TBC did it intentionally as a joke about how bad Teh C.'s flash skills are. {{User:phlip/sig}} 04:05, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)
| |
| - | ::Ah. I really wasn't much referring to the change-colour bit, which is why I put them in parentheses (I figured it was something along the same reason why Homestar keeps blinking when paused or on certain CD covers). I really just meant the Cheatfish/layering thing. Nice to know where to put it, if such a thing occurs again. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
