Is the KOT Very Own Show a reference to Butter's Own Episode on South Park

Just a comment about the thoughts I had before realizing it was a sbemail instead of a KOT short! ~OptimumCoder

Almond paste filled sweet delight

I think Strong Bad is talking about Marzipan here... you know, the real type.--Dwedit 16:23, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

From Wikipedia: "Marzipan is a confectionery consisting primarily of ground almonds and sugar that derives its characteristic flavor from bitter almonds, which constitute 4% to 6% of total almond content by weight." Sounds reasonable to me. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 16:24, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

I like it. Trey56 17:01, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH... I get it now. That fact was extremely poorly worded, hence my removal of it. --Jay (Gobble) 17:29, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

The poopsmith speaketh!?

Did the poopsmith really just speak in this email? The voice sounds exactly like the poopsmith's in different town, but the poopsmith is shown shrugging afterwards like that wasn't his voice. I'd like to say that he didn't, but I'm not too sure about it. What are your opinions? - Wevegottapulse

I think it was him. Who else could it be? It sounded like he was about to lead the band into that "Oh Yeah" song from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Trey56 17:00, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Reply to Trey: Totally different "Ohhh Yeah", actually. The one in this email is higher-pitched and was pretty common to hear in this kind of music. —  KieferSkunk (talk) — 18:21, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

There's certainly enough suggestion there (that this was The Poopsmith). Might I also point out that this was done in the same voice as the "Hello!" in different town.

THEN AGAIN! That was in Strong Bad's imagination. Do we have proof that this scene was NOT in Strong Bad's imagination? Did this senior prom actually happen? If not, having The Poopsmith speak here might not be as unusual as it would be if this senior prom really did happen. —  KieferSkunk (talk) — 17:23, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

I personally think its safe to assume this email wasn't in Strong Bad's imagination. With how Strong Bad actually got The Cheat and Strong Mad to help him and all. (If it was, then we really can't trust anything that happens in H*R ever again. >.> ) - Joshua 18:17, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough. :) Since we can't absolutely prove it was The Poopsmith who said "Ohhh yeah!", there's a Fun Fact there that ties this occurrence together with different town. I believe that should suffice. —  KieferSkunk (talk) — 18:21, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

More than two prom...blems?

Current Fun Fact:

• Marzipan's comment "...every freakin' year...." implies that she has attended the senior prom more than once. Because it is typically the final dance in high school, most people only attend the senior prom once.

I edited this from another version that said "it seems implausible that she would have attended it more than once". I beg to differ: There are a few reasons why she could have. (1) She could have gotten held back and repeated the third grade her senior year multiple times. (2) She could have gone with Homestar in previous years (and he'd probably be more likely to get held back). And (3) She could have served some other purpose in previous years.

My point is, I don't think we have enough to go on to say why she'd be at the prom multiple years. But a lot of cartoons and comics run on the implication that the characters never age, and they repeat the same years of their lives each year (a 365-day version of Groundhog Day, or something). That seems plausible in the HR Universe as well. Thus, I think the Fun Fact should kinda gloss over the "implausibilities" and relate Marzipan's comment to the way it is in real life.

And for the block, do you agree? —  KieferSkunk (talk) — 17:55, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

I agree. Also, Marzipan could have simply heard that pantless-Strong Bad won Prom Queen multiple years in a row or whatever happened. --Jay (Gobble) 17:57, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

It makes more sense to me that they just all go to a senior prom every year. 130.127.84.204 18:03, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
