The new M&M

Strong Mad's round stomach and lowercase "m" are a reference to M&M's.

From: highschool
Posted on: 06:39, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Arguments for:

  • The font of the "m" is the same as on an M&M.

Arguments against:

The left is from Strong Mad's chest, the right from an M&M.
  • The font is not the same.
  • Nor is there a period on an M&M.
  • The small 'm' simply stands for small(er) Strong Mad.
  • Close, but not enough.
  • It's there to represent the way Strong Mad currently wears his M. The lowercase M most likely represents him being younger.

Additional comments:

  • I'm not trying to argue for this item, but I just wanted to point out that they might not have had the legal right to use the M&M typeface, and so they just substituted something for it. (That doesn't explain the period after the "m", of course.)
    • The period could be a substitute for the (R) trademark symbol.

All the time, sir

Strong Bad's claim that "Strong Mad and I were all the time trying to liberate Homestar from those ridiculous striped pants," recalls the line "Creepy pants all the time get some," from long pants.

From: highschool
Posted on: 01:32, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Arguments for:

Arguments against:

  • "Pants" and "all the time" are not enough to make a reference.
  • "All the time" is one of those little phrases that all the time pops up on Homestar Runner. The Brothers themselves even use it outside of toons on occasion.

Additional comments:

  • Is this fact referencing that Homestar is wearing creepy pants, or the phrase "all the time" appearing before the verb?
    • The phrase (although I hadn't noticed that they were both about pants until just now).
  • Google search for "all the time" on HRWiki: [1] Third one down, the facts, uses it like this, and there are several others showing it spread throughout.
  • It seems to me that this is just another instance of Strong Bad's poor grammar.
