Quite Good

A quite good e-mail. Strong Bad and Coach Z's rapping was fantastic, and we get to see Strong Sad's nerdy image develop a lot. Look out for his CD in an easter egg. 4.66/5 - 82.37.217.206

Transcript Production

Anyone working on the transcript? If not, I'll take a shot at it. →FireBird

I was working on the transcript, but it didn't save. I'm guessing you were working on it. --StarWarsMonkey :-)

Hey, I'm a long time reader, first time Wiki...pedier? And I was wondering, when a transcript says {Incomplete}, should I let whoever is editing finish it (assuming he or she is working on it currently), or do I have permission to jump all up into the fracas? GillanTheVillain 11:32, 11 Apr 2005 (EST)

You have permission, but you might not want to intervere if you aren't expierenced. --Joshua 09:40, 11 Apr 2005 (MDT)

I usually don't like it when someone interrupts a Transcript I'm in the middle of writing, personally (for long pants a couple of weeks ago, I specified NOT to edit it until I was finished and someone put their own mistake-riddled version in anyway.) But since Joshua didn't specify, and since he didn't really continue from the rap scene, I went ahead and finished it myself - hope mine isn't the mistake-riddled one! (Though I've checked it a coupla times now and I or someone else fixed the major mistakes I made.) I didn't check the Discussion page. PS. Don't add one line at a time. Watch the SWF file and right-click to use the Play and Back commands so you can go at a good pace. --Jay 09:44, 11 Apr 2005 (MDT)

That's why the "Edit" button is there. So you can edit mistakes. --Gafaddict 14:48, 11 Apr 2005 (MDT)
True, but I've grown to dislike the words "Edit Conflict". --Jay 14:53, 11 Apr 2005 (MDT)


I do transcripts and large edits in notepad, then copy and paste to the window. That way, I don't encounter edit conflicts much. Aurora the Homestar Coder 15:07, 11 Apr 2005 (MDT)

Eh..

Is it me, or is TBC's sense of humor slightly waning? Rudeboy87 08:23, 11 Apr 2005 (MDT)

It's just you. -- Joshua 09:40, 11 Apr 2005 (MDT)
According to the forum thread re: this email, it's not. Rudeboy87 14:25, 11 Apr 2005 (MDT)
You have your own opinion, but this is not the place to discuss it. The proper place would be the forum. →FireBird
And on the forum, the average rating for this email seemed to be 8/10.

Legal Rampage??

I didn't really understand the legal rampage part. What's a sub-po-enal? And what does "I summon 4B to my chambers" mean? -Please don't call me dumb, MFCUSA

"Sub-po-ena" is Strong Bad pronouncing subpoena the way it's spelled. The whole line is a lame attempt to recreate the language used by lawyers without actually understanding what words like "summons" and "chambers" actually refer to. I imagine Strong Bad got it from the Litigation Jackson movies. It's really quite similar to his attempts to mimic middle english, book reviews, and rap without really understanding any of them. PolarBoy

Thanks dude. That makes it a whole lot funnier! - MFCUSA

  • Since when did this kind of humor, which uh.. seems kind of Standard for H*R and Brothers Chaps become 'lame'? Seemed hillarious to me and just about everyone else. --Heebrewhammer23
    • You're misreading - Strong Bad doesn't get legal language, so he's making a lame attempt at repeating it. The joke isn't lame, Strong Bad's understanding is. --Jay 06:24, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hip Hop correction

Got rid of "*"Spoken Word...Is Bond" could be a reference to the trailers from some of the early Bond films, which often mentioned "007 is Bond" an excruciating number of times" because it's clearly NOT-- it's a reference to "word is bond", meaning "my word is my bond," and this has been uttered by many rappers over the years. Google "word is bond" site:ohhla.com to see over 300 citations. -AP

What are you talking about? There's no "bond" anywhere in this email. --Jay 17:08, 11 Apr 2005 (MDT)
Okay, okay, never mind. The fact WAS added by someone and it WAS in reference to something actually in the email (the Strong Sad CD Easter Egg). Anyway, good for you, but you didn't really need to note it here unless someone kept trying to re-add it after you deleted it. --Jay 17:17, 11 Apr 2005 (MDT)

Chicken Soup Reference

Under Real World references, it lists Soup, Right? as a reference to Chicken Soup for the Soul. Just because they both have soup in the title doesn't mean it's a reference. Can anyone back this point up further, or are you just going on basis of the Soup in the title? If that's the only basis, I think that should be deleted. --DMurphy 15:28, 12 Apr 2005 (MDT)

Marzipan Stuttering

I see that the transcript lists what Marzipan says as "Jeff Chaucerbury." But that's not what I'm hearing - she's saying "Jeff Chaucer would be would be proud." Someone else has mentioned this strange stutter/glitch/loop as a fun fact, too...

Sure sounds like "would be would be" to me! Can we STUFF a transcript debate? -- tomstiff 11:07, 13 Apr 2005 (MDT)

I thought "would be would be" too - it used to be that way in the transcript thanks to my edit. "Chaucerbury" does make some logical sense, as H*R goes, at any rate. But at the same time, I don't really hear "Chaucerbury" even now that I'm listening for it. Would they really have Marzipan say "would be would be"? --Jay 11:14, 13 Apr 2005 (MDT)

Well, I changed it back. However, Chaucerbury (i.e. Chaucer + Canterbury) would be pretty funny! -- tomstiff 11:22, 13 Apr 2005 (MDT)

Yeah, I definitely heard "would be would be" too. I was like "what??" And then I thought it might, JUST MIGHT, be a very vague reference to Justin Corcoran from extra plug. (I know it's a bit of a stretch, but that's what came to mind...) -Miss Free Country USA

I Google-searched the phrase "would be would be" and it came up with over 11'000 results, including many in documents from people who would otherwise know better. It's possible that it may be a figure of speech, or even a perfectly acceptable English phrase, or maybe the repetition is a reference to Chaucer somehow. If it were just a mistake there would probably be far, far fewer results. --Tweek

The R in Routine.

It has to be a direct reference to morning routine in which Strong Sad keeps interupting him after he says:

The "R" in routine stands for r—

Then Strong sad asks him about the eggs. It seems crystal clear to me but what do you guys think?

It's so crystal clear that it's already on the page - check the "Inside References portion of Fun Facts. --Jay 02:47, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

i still dont got 

"KING OF TOWN: Oops, you lost me!"

i believe this is a a quote out of the movie "fight club" when tyler is getting his head beatin in and he doesnt fighting back

I haven't seen Fight Club so I can't say for certain, but unless the "oops, you lost me" quote comes up in that context, I don't think this is anything more than a coincidence. --Jay 03:57, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Closed STUFF

English Lesson (DECLINED)

(under the quiver(ed) definition) In early Modern English, it would have been written "Quiver'd" (not to be confused with 404'D, Cerebellum'D, etc, etc.).

  • Decline'd Don't worry, I wasn't confused in the slightest. Except, perhaps, as to why you made this 'fun' fact. Rudeboy87 06:46, 12 Apr 2005 (MDT)
  • Decline. -- tomstiff 08:43, 12 Apr 2005 (MDT)
  • Decline. Number A, this is not interesting or relevant. Number B, how do you know Strong Bad didn't say it like Quiver'd? Quivered and quiver'd would be pronounced the same way. This shouldn't have even been STUFF'd. -- mibluvr13 23:52, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • A,B,etc... are not numbers.
      • You aren't a regular, are you? -Walking Armless
    • Heh... good point on B, mibluvr13. I don't know why that didn't cross my mind when I STUFF'd this. Guess I was just thinking blindly about what was in the transcript without thinking about the actual toon. Decline. Beatfox 01:01, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Wite Wrapper (DECLINED)

The fact that Strong Sad's "whiteness" is acknowledged on his CD refers to famous white rappers such as Eminem and Vanilla Ice.

  • Del taco... wait... Hey, boys and girls, let's see how far we can streeeeeeeeetch Fun Facts! --Jay 19:40, 11 Apr 2005 (MDT)
  • Decline Yeah this one is really stretching.Theving
    • Second to last place. Kvb 02:14, 12 Apr 2005 (MDT)
    • Ding! Rudeboy87 06:44, 12 Apr 2005 (MDT)
  • ... Decline Dasrik 22:07, 11 Apr 2005 (MDT)
  • Decline I agree that it is a reference to white rappers. The problem with this fun fact is 1)the joke is obvious and 2)Eminem is considered to be a GOOD rapper (even though I can't stand him) while Strong Sad is meant to flop. Donny vs Universe
  • Decline -- tomstiff 08:42, 12 Apr 2005 (MDT)
  • I think this one is worth our time, maybe we should accept it--DECLINED! -Upset_Your_Balance
  • Decline Hold on The Cheat! We're gonna stretch this fun fact to the MOOOOOOOOOOOOOON! --acekirby13 13:22, 12 Apr 2005 (MDT)
  • Decline. White is the color of his face. --thatkidsam 18:02, 12 Apr 2005 (MDT)
  • Decline based on the fact that it's common household knowledge (well, some households) as far as white wrapperas and jokes about them go.--AtionSong
  • Decline plus side note: There already is a fun fact about this on the page. Furthermore, Coach Z is some sort of Canadian/Minnisotan/New Englander/Bostonian white boy himself, and he can rap better than anyone else on the site. In addition, The Brothers Chaps seem to be pretty good at rapping (at least when they write and perform for Coach Z). --The Real Zajac 15:05, 17 Apr 2005 (PDT)
  • Decline Why does the color of a rapper's skin matter? Someone who does not like racism
  • Decline. It's not really like that...I think it's more of a stupid slang word for someone who doesn't rap well...It's been used so much it goes beyond being racist. (which is why Strong Bad can say it.) (So, Fizz123, it's not exactly a racist comment.)TakuaKaita600 22:01, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • I'm a girl. I don't understand this stuff. Fizz123
  • Yes, it is. Fizz123
  • Uh Digga-Digga-Digga-DECLINED! For reasons already mentioned.
