== There's no "eye" in Bubs. ==

Okay, so what is it with Bubs' smaller eye? Strong Bad and The Cheat's pupils are claimed to be copies of it on the main paige, Strong Sad's bulgy eye in "caffeine" was declared so, and I could swear I've read more instances where something has been compared to it. I really don't get it! I mean, guys, Bubs' eye is simply a black pupil with white spots (call them light reflections or shiny spots or whatever)in them. It's an average cartoon pupil, an average animal eyestyle and there's absolutely nothing special about it. Not every shiny pupil on this earth (or any cartoon universe) is related to it in whatsoever. I mean, one might as well say that every black circle in the Disney universe is a resemblence to Mickey Mouse's ear. --[[User:Cass from Germany|Cass from Germany]] 15:06, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
: This is a Flash cartoon; everything you see is a Flah object. Their pupils are the same object as Bubs's eye. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:18, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
::Maybe the fun facts should be reworded slightly to make it explicit that the same Flash object is used in these cases, and not just that they are visually the same.  I certainly never realized that's what was meant by those remarks. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 16:48, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

==Thing== 
Is it me, or is Strong Bad closing his eyes at similar points Homestar would? (E.G: Homestar would normally close his eyes at "ping pong ball" Strong Bad did) (I'm not reffering to the blinking.) [[User:Strong Intelligent|SI.com!]]
:They're just making his eyes more expressive than usual, since using his mouth shape and body language to convey emotion are out of the question. [[User:Octan|Octan]] 22:29, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

== Three Armed Strong Sad ==

I don't know if this is worth mentioning as a goof because it could be on purpose, but for one frame while Strong Sad is listening to SB yelling up from the hole, he has three arms before scratching his eye... thoughts [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 21:48, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
*I have a screenshot, but don't know how to upload it.

::: Added! [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 22:06, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
::::I don't think this is a goof, looks very intentional to me.  If you watch it in context, the positioning of both arms makes sense with the physical motion that he is doing (sort of a "wind up" to scratching his eye).  His arm moves very quickly which is why it is animated that way.  It's not an uncommon animation technique.  Remember, the toons are not intended to be watched in freeze-frame &mdash; watched normally the animation works well.  This may still be notable, but not as a goof. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 23:32, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
:::::I quite disagree. Even though you can only see it for a split second, you can tell that Strong Sad has three arms in that frame if you're looking closely enough. Even if it was done on purpose (which I doubt), it just doesn't look right <s>and I think it should be noted. I mean, if anybody else wants to cast a "nay" vote, then I guess it'll have to go, but as of right now, it looks to me likes it's three to one. I'll put it back up for now, but of course I'm open to more discussion.</s> Woah, hang on a sec there. I thought you deleted it. Never mind. I still maintain that it's a goof, though. {{User:That Guy Over There/sig}} 03:18, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
::::::Another example of this sort of animation is in [[bike thief]], when Strong Bad throws his clipboard into the air.  If you watch it frame by frame, there are 2 clipboards in each frame, but it's just a way that fast motion can be animated at the framerate they use. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 03:29, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
:::::::I've gotta disagree with you on this one. One arm moves in exactly the wrong direction to show that it's fast motion, and it looks out-of-place within the one frame it's there even granted the second right arm. And it doesn't even work - Strong Sad ISN'T moving his arm THAT fast. Nope, this is a Goof. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 09:18, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
:::::::PS. Oh, and just to make matters better? Frame 1989. He now has ZERO right arms. There's no reasonable explanation for that. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 09:19, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
::::::::Also his arm disappears for a frame or two after he is done scratching.  Not sure if anyone caught that.  - [[user:wecannotbesaved|Owen]]

== Hrmm... ==
This isn't very notable, and I'm certain I'm not the first to question this, but Strong Bad with pupils? And, he squints his eyes far more often than ever in the hole. Are the pupils just some kind of joke I'm missing, or are we just gonna assume that Strong Bad's eyes change color in the dark? --[[User:Askingforachallenge|AFAC]] 01:18, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Since The Cheat has pupils too I'm assuming it's to make them expressive. And someone farther up the page suggested the squinting was to make up for a lack of other visible body parts that generaly are used for expression.--[[User:Shaggy|Shaggy]] | [[User talk:Shaggy|talk]] 03:53, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

== Eggs and Toilet Paper ==

I really don't think we need to note that the eggs and the toilet paper are the same as ones previously used in Three Times Halloween Funjob. I mean, seriously, they may be the same Flash objects used, but that doesn't mean they need to be cited for it. Should we make a note every time the use the same Flash object for the Lappy too? It's just eggs and toilet paper. Why in the world should they make more Flash objects for eggs and toilet paper rather than just reusing ones from previous cartoons? I know the whole egg thing is an inside joke, but we've already got eggs referenced. I don't think the article needs to say they're the same eggs as Funjob. {{User:That Guy Over There/sig}} 01:59, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
: I added it not so much because the objects themselves are recurring, but because it's implied that egging and TP-ing people's houses (or what-have-you) is one of the "shenanigans" SB and TC were planning, which they had also done in 3xHF.

== A wicked contact buzz from those roach foggers--I mean,.... from that gasoline? ==

This may be pure speculation, but with the gasoline in the "Three Hours later" easter egg, did Strong Bad and The Cheat either:

*get drunk from it?

or

*get a cop-off from the fumes?

: Why?  They've clearly been known to play the Grandma game perfectly sober.  [[User:Shelikescloth|Shelikescloth]] 05:39, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

== Faint light ==

If you look in the article, it says, "''{Faint light appears from above}''" right before Strong Sad notices the big hole. But I don't even notice the change - the faint light above is already there BEFORE Strong Bad says, "Whoa, where are we?". That's why I'm thinking of taking that little part (''{Faint light appears from above}'') outta there.--[[User:Charlie Jr.|Charlie Jr.]] 18:29, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

: You're right, but I could have sworn that the faint light used not to be there until Strong Sad called from above.  Did they change this after the fact?

== Explanations etc. ==

*Et cetera (abbreviated etc) is a Latin phrase meaning "and other things," so Strong Bad saying "yours, his, hers, mine, ours" is using the meaning of 'et cetera' to list various possessive pronouns.
This fact was removed for explaining the joke. I personally think it belongs there, as I didn't get what strong bad was doing until i read the literal definition of etc. What does everyone else think? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:20, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
:You can get the joke even without the literal meaning. Also, the meaning of "etc" in the English language is "and so on". [[Wikipedia:Et cetera|check-it-out.exe]]. It's unlikely that Strong Bad used the Greek literal meaning that the Latin phrase is based on that we use in English. And I am out.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:40, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
::Strong Bad isn't intending any meaning other than the standard English ''[[AHD:61/50/E0225000.html|etc.]]'', which is so common in everyday language as to not need defining here. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:11, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
