Ice Creme Fixation

This is the second instance where Strong Bad ends his email by saying that he wants ice cream. The first instance was kids' book.

Anchorman Strong Bad?

Strong Bad's using of gasoline as cologne may be a reference to the movie Anchorman, in which Ron Burgundy tells Brian Fantana that his sex panther cologne "smells like pure gasoline."

From: lady...ing
Posted on: 15:50, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Arguments for:

  • The Bros. Chaps have been known to make all kinds of crazy references to all kinds of things, why not a Will Ferrell movie?

Broken Lappy Screen (Goofs)

While Strong Bad is sleeping at the end of the email (after he ducks out for the creme brulee ice creme), the Lappy's screen doesn't give the distortion effect it usually does when you click on it.

Bubble Teas?

Homestar's "bubbleties" is aurally identical to "Bubble tea," a fashionable drink involving chilled tea and large tapioca balls. Is this worth including in "Real-World References," even though by no stretch of the imagination could it be considered an outright allusion?

From: lady...ing
Posted on: 04:52, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Arguments for:

  • Um... Bubbleties. Bubble teas. It's worth noting, if people hadn't heard of bubble tea.

Arguments against:

  • "Real-World References" is supposed to be limited to "clear references," and this is certainly not that.
  • Homestar was just mispronouncing Strong Bad's phrase (which was mispronounced in itself).
  • If you need to ask if it is worth noting, it probably isn't.

Additional comments:

  • If all "Real-World References" were just "clear references," this wiki would have a lot less info.
  • If we've all done our jobs then it would have exactly the same amount of info. It's not a good idea to put sketchy info in just for the sake of having more info. Quality > Quantity.

Suppleties

The word "suppleties" means "supplements" in Dutch.

From: lady...ing
Posted on: 06:54, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Arguments for:

Arguments against:

  • It's just Strong Bad mispronouncing "subtleties" with his old, bad accent.
  • This doesn't make much sense in context.
