Slackerboy: /* Is That Costume Store Ever In Stock?!?!? */

==Is That Costume Store Ever In Stock?!?!?==
The costume of the character who I have to assume is Strong Bad looks surprisingly complex, ecspecially compared to those of the other characters. Point is, I'm pretty sure that this is a reference to [[Jibblies 2 Teaser]]. Anyone else agree?--{{User:DongleGoblin/sig}} 05:52, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
:I definitely agree. By looking, his costume appears to be that of the [[Wikipedia:Predator (alien)|Predator]], which further echoes his non-costume of the Alien last year. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:54, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
::Who wants to hazard a guess that once again his Easter egg at toon's end will again mention that Hammakers Slammakers will be sold out of this costume as well, and he'll be someone else? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:07, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
:::Oh, I wouldn't go that far. I hope the Chaps have more integrity to run the same joke twice... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 06:11, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
::::To me it looks like Predator. [[User:HomsarGuy|HomsarGuy]] 12:05, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
::::Don't they re-use jokes very oftenlike?--[[User:Flytape8490|Flytape8490]] 13:41, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Marzi looks to be possibly Esteban of "late-night learn-to-play guitar infomercial fame"--[[User:Slackerboy|Slackerboy]] 14:07, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

==Easter egg==
Can something that is only viewable after the flash is decompiled really considered an easter egg?
Even if it is left intentionally for the user to find, I think there should be a general definition of 'egg' that takes into account means of access.
Not everyone can decompile the flash. Instead, maybe place something like this in trivia?--[[User:Flytape8490|Flytape8490]] 13:39, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Slackerboy: /* Worldy / Warbly */

== 2 things ==

1. Should the preview or whatever pic (the one at the top) have a caption that matches the scene it's in? 
2. I think the 'Unrecognizable Summer Movie Tie-in' sammich is shaped like a plane, not a star. (look at the 'fin' things on the sides). {{User:Einstein runner/sig}} 22:09, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
:1. I don't think it matters... 2. I didn't really try to interpret what that thing was very well, so change it if you want. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 22:11, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
:Actually, I thought the "Unrecognizable Summer Movie Tie-in" resembled one of Batman's throwing bats (which I learned yesterday are called "Glaives", kind of like a Shuriken, only bigger and able to return like a boomerang). I assumed it had to do with "The Dark Knight" coming out (It's kind of "The Sequel!" to Batman Begins). [[Special:Contributions/71.161.73.21|71.161.73.21]] 00:33, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

== Worldy / Warbly ==
Also, does Homestar say wordly or warbly at the end? {{User:Einstein runner/sig}} 22:21, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
:I heard Wordly [[User:Mista Mono|Mista Mono]] 22:23, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
::I heard Warbly. (I made the change to the transcript before seeing it was discussed here). {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 22:31, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
:::I heard Warbly ~ [[User:MBD123|MBD123]]

''Shouldn't "warbly theme song" be mentioned in Inside References? (In TGS when they went to camp they sang a "warbly campfire song") ''

: I agree with you that it's an inside ref to TGS, but, sign your posts man, do you know how many wiki rules you just broke by not signing your posts? ...well just one, sign your posts, man--[[User:Slackerboy|Slackerboy]] 16:49, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

== Yella Paint ==
Why does Strong Bad have yellow stuff on his head during his discussion with Homestar? Are we to assume his sandwich-cicle had mustard on it? Or is this a referecne I'm not getting? {{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}} 23:04, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
:He has the mustard on his face. [[User:Mista Mono|Mista Mono]] 23:13, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

== put that thing through its paces/bases ==

I'm pretty sure Coach Z says put that thing through its paces, not bases (that is [http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/put+through+paces the phrase] after all).

Yeah but hes known to mess stuff up: ::by jaredtoy

:No, i hear paces. messing up here wouldn't be funny... He only messes up when it's funny. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:07, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

::Agreed. If he were messing it up, he would have said "porces."

== They fixed it ==

I just watched it again and the previously changing sandwich is now a taste tested one throughout the whole short. I therefor changed the remark.--[[User:Cass from Germany|Cass from Germany]] 15:30, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

:Anyone have a mirrorable version of the un-fixèd toon? --[[User:Lukeonia1|Lukeonia1]] 20:38, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

== Nothing For Coach Z ==

I don't know if you guys want to add this or something, but I think Coach Z can't get anything not because of Bubs, because the King of Town ate everything. The napkin was all he had left.
:Yeah, that's the joke. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:07, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
::Is there a running gag about Bubs giving Coach Z no respect? Remember the fall float parade? "Coach Z, you jerk!" I think Bubs might just be holding out on Coach Z in this cartoon because he has contempt for him, and Coach Z is too blind to realize that they are not true friends. Another citation would be the song they sing together, where Bubs claims all the royalties, essentially taking advantage of Coach Z. {{unsigned|76.167.90.250|10:26, 3 July 2008}}

== No easter eggs??? ==

It's been a while since there was a ''video'' (toon, short, sbemail, etc.) without any easter eggs. Now I would go and see when the last time was but as far as I can tell it was bottom 10.
:Actually, by a quick glance, the last time that I can tell was [[The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck In His Craw]]. It happens occasionally. After all, it's not ''required''. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:31, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

== Dog Food ==

Here's [http://rapidshare.com/files/126517550/baloneytruck.swf.html the original] Flash file, complete with dog food. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 09:55, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

== Take a bite out of it! ==

Ok, who here thought of the SBLOUNSKCHED bar/pants during the "shaped like there's a bite taken out of it" part? Revelance? --[[Special:Contributions/71.121.142.173|71.121.142.173]] 06:45, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
:Good catch. It may have crossed my mind, but I never really noticed it. I guess the only promblem (sic) is how to word it. {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}

You could say in remarks.. "Bubs baloney sandwhich 'shaped' like it has a bite out of it could be a reference to the SBLOUNSKCHED bar." --[[User:Lustmyeyes|lustmyeyes <3]] 08:34, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

== 80s bike ==

I was wondering whether Homestar's BMX bike is a particular model. I remember bikes having those solid spoke covers, but I don't know whether that makes it identifiable? —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:42, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
:I think it's the same bike he used in [[bike thief]]. If so, there might be details there (on the talk page, at least). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 18:37, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
:'''Update:''' According to the page, "Homestar's bike is a Huffy SIGMA circa 1987". So there you go then. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 18:49, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

== Shape'd. ==

I'm suprised no one mentioned the running gag on d's or 'eds in Inside References.
:There's not really a reference in the cartoon as far as I see...unless Bubs' saying "shaped" and coming down hard on the last two letters counts. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 07:49, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
::We have a page sort of like that: [[-èd]]. I'm not sure it's pronounced correctly to get on that page, though. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 18:49, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
:::Yeah, i don't think it is. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:57, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

== Man, Man ==

Hasn't there been a few incidents where a character say "Man, man"?
Should this be noted?
--[[User:Lustmyeyes|lustmyeyes <3]] 08:35, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
<blockquote>
From [[personal favorites]]:
*'''COACH Z:''' ''{to Pom Pom}'' Hoo-ah! Woo-ghi! I'm a blade-man, man!
From [[4 branches]]:
*'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Man, oh man, oh man! Man! Moving into this mascot costume was probably the coolest and least locking-myself-out-of-my-house-enest decision I ever made!
From [[strong badathlon]]:
*'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Man, man, we should start putting those Homestar Vs. Homestar fights on pay-per-view. Instant classics!
From [[The Baloneyman]]:
*'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What? You didn't hear man? Man, man. This kid, was doin' a flip on his 180. Busted his head, man. Busted his head.
</blockquote>
:Here are the incidents you ordered. Just did a [http://www.google.com/custom?domains=www.hrwiki.org&q=%22man+man%22&sitesearch=www.hrwiki.org Google search] for "man man" and found these. I don't think they're all what you're looking for, but the instances in [[strong badathlon]] and [[The Baloneyman]] seem to be. But I'd guess a running gag article would get rejected 'round her' with just two related instances. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 15:36, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

''{After "Strong Bad", Strong Bad says "Period. That's the best sentence ever written!" He reads the location as "Best friends never, South Africa".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Gardenboy, as a crafty ring veteran, I can let you in on a little secret: being an awesome wrestler has nothing to do with awesome wrestling moves! ''{clears scree}'' It's all about awesome costumes, gimmicks, and dinosaur tranquilizer fueled ''{misspelled "feuled"}'' ranting and raving! I got my first big break with cable access's longest named wrestling organization: All World Mid-Pro Shirtless Championship Entertainment, or AWMPSCE. ''{pronounces "OMP-skee"}'' Of course, they wanted me to be one of those lame masked wrestlers at first, but I had gimmickier plans.

''{Cut to a photograph of Strong Bad wearing a crown and a wrestling suit that has a crown printed on it. The picture is labeled "Sir Boliver Turnbuckle".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Sir Boliver Turnbuckle and his signature move:

''{Another picture appears with Strong Bad in his Turnbuckle outfit standing behind Strong Sad, with Strong Bad's arm grabbing Strong Sad below his own arm. The picture is labeled "Master of the 1/8 Nelson!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The one-eighth Nelson!

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' That was back in the days when pretending to be a pompous Brit was considered a ''premium'' gimmick. Once I started getting more popular, my next incarnation was

''{Cut to the Gymatorium's doors. A piece of paper with an AWMPSCE logo is taped on sideways.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And hailing from the age of exploration, the namer of nations,

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' il Cartographer!

''{Strong Bad poses as though he's expecting applause, but all that can be heard is the King of Town booing and some singers.}''

'''SINGERS:''' il Cartographer! He makin' the maps! il Cartographer! He takin' the rap!

''{Strong Bad steps forward and throws pieces of paper at the empty seats.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And one of my gimmicks was that I'd always come into the ring throwing—

''{One of Strong Bad's papers stops in front of the camera. It is a map of the Gymatorium and shows the way from one of the seats ("here be you") to "the can", as the toilet is labeled. The map is labeled "Ye Olde Restroom Trail".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' maps to the restrooms into the crowd!

==Easter Eggs==

It is clear Crackotage is the target of many 80s cartoon parodies. One that is not mentioned in this page, but is mentioned [[Shopping_for_Danger | elsewhere]] is that he is an allusion to Blaster from the Transformers cartoon.

The cat's name was Wordsworth, he had headphones (like Crackotage) and rollerskates.--[[User:Slackerboy|Slackerboy]] 16:46, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

== The plane he flies ==

The plane he flies in the toon is a F-14, I want to include that fact in his article, but I cannot decide the right wording. Can anyone help? - [[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]] 02:05, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

You can change the line that says "flies to that plane" to "flies a plane that is possibly an F-14" or something like that.[[User:68.70.103.164|68.70.103.164]] 02:07, 10 October 2005 (UTC) (Sorry that was me).[[User:SparkPlug|SparkPlug]] 02:07, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

:I don't know enough to prove it's an F-14 myself, but I trust you know what you're talking about. I had the same thought as SparkPlug, but then it occurred to me that that might imply he never flew any ''other'' plane, which we don't know. The best way would probably to go straight to [[Cheat Commandos...O's]] and edit the transcript; right before his appearance insert "F-14" into "There is a fighter jet..." &mdash[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 02:15, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

In the GI*Joe Universe, the F-14 was marketed and appeared as the "Sky Striker" flown by Ace. The toy vehicle came packaged with the Ace figure included.--[[User:Slackerboy|Slackerboy]] 16:45, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Slackerboy: /* The plane he flies */

== Parodies ==

It is clear Crackotage is the target of many 80s cartoon parodies. One that is not mentioned in this page, but is mentioned [[Shopping_for_Danger | elsewhere]] is that he is an allusion to Blaster from the Transformers cartoon.

Also, these allusions are plentyful enough that they merit they own 'category' or at least should be grouped together in a nicer way.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Email is the sound that we make when a young girl cries...

<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: space program</div>
Dear Strongbad, 
Does Strongbadia have a space program? 
Doo doo crap, 
Ryan 
Raleigh, NC
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "Da-da-da-da-da" before "Dear Strongbad", "Good jokes" instead of "Doo doo crap," pronounces "Raliegh," as "Rallee" and says "NC" as "Not cool."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Who ''doesn't'' have a space program these days? I mean, don't, like, the Italians have a space program? Ours is called SBASAF ''{pronounced "space-aff"}''. The Strong Badian Administration of Some Aluminum Foil. ''{clears screen}'' The only problem is, ...

''{fade to white, Strong Bad continues talking over}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...we blew our whole budget on this kick-awesome logo...

''{as he says this, the SBASAF logo appears - a rocket's path tracing the second S, and ending up in position as the first A}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...and on our orientation filmstrip.

''{Cut to a slide of the SBASAF logo, with "2005 Strong Badian Administration of Some Aluminum Foil" at the bottom}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' SBASAF is a definately-for-profit orginisation, dedicated to the manned taping of aluminum foil to cardboard. ''{beep sound}''

''{another slide comes up - a styilised drawing of alien mountains, with a moon and a comet in the sky. A ten and five dollar note are visible, and a large arrow pointing beyond the mountains}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' Our mission objective: to accompany 15 earth dollars on a round trip journey ''{beep}'' ...

''{another slide, a drawing of a spaceship flying past a planet}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ... to the closest reaches of space. ''{beep}''

''{another slide, two astronauts, one lying on a bench with weights, the other saying "Gimme '''ONE''' more!!"}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' While the muscular crew will age only a few hours, the cargo, according to our ''{beep}'' ...

''{another slide, a portrait of Albert Einstein, saying "Hiya!"}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ... vague understanding of the theory of relativity, will have aged to an incredible ''{beep}}'' ...

''{another slide, of three large gold bars in space, with the caption "THREE O' DEMS"}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ... one million dollars. And who is good enough at video games ''{no beep}''...

''{another slide, a photo of a TV screen with a joystick in front of it. On the screen is a typical 2-D one-on-one fighting game with "FIGHT!!!" written on it. The combatants are a hamburger and a ghost. The ghost has only 1/3 health.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ... to accept such a dangerous mission? Why, none other than beef bullion-aire joyboy ''{beep}'' ...

''{another slide, of Strong Bad wearing a headband with small wings on it, with pants made out of foil}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ... Space Captainface. First Lieuteneral Captainface knows the true key to success is ''{no beep}'' ...

''{another slide, of a girl smiling at the camera, with a polka-dot background}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ... to have as many hot 60's-looking girls in your filmstrips as possible. ''{no beep}''

''{another slide, two more girls, and a blue background}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' Yeah, girls. Alright. ''{beep}''

''{another slide, The Cheat wearing a blue cap and sunglasses, with the caption Harold "Strap" Coopmore}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' Hey, look! It's onboard mechanic Harold "Strap" Coopmore! Looks like he could use a grilled cheese sandwich. ''{no beep}''

''{another slide, a photo of a grilled cheese sandwich, with the caption Item 3b: "Grilled Cheese" some music plays for a little bit, then a record-scratching noise and another slide, two men with flat-top haircuts and headsets in front of a computer terminal}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' Flat-tops and shirt sleeves are the order of the day at SBASAF mission control. Why, Flight Engineer Ted Averill! You aren't smoking a smooth relaxing cigarette at all! ''{beep}''

''{another slide, the same scene, but the man on the left is smoking}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' That's better. And somebody get that man a high-ball. ''{beep}''

''{another slide, rows of spaceships}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' The flagship of SBASAF's 30-vessel fleet is the Proud Anselmo. ''{no beep}''

''{another slide, Strong Bad in the same outfit, atop a spaceship labelled "PROUD ANSELMO". There is a halo light shining on Strong Bad.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' A wonder of modern SBASAF-ery, the Proud Anselmo is constructed almost entirely out of cardboardium alloy. When blastoff day finally arrives, ''{no beep}'' ...

''{another slide, the 60's girls in silhouette, with a large question mark}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ... will you be among the hot 60's-looking girls to wish strappin' Space Captainface a safe voyage? And if not ''{beep}'' ...

''{another slide, a sad dog, with the caption "How Come?"}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ...how come?

''{Cut to Strong Badia. A close-up of Strong Bad wearing his Space Captainface costume in what appears to be a cardboard box holding an Atari joystick. Him and the box are trembling violently.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Argrgrgrgrgrgr! Must...escape...Earth's...tenacity... Fire the afterburners, Strap!

''{Look behind Strong Bad to see The Cheat is also in a cardboard box, with a CD player. A toilet paper tube is duct taped to the side of the box. We can now see Strong Mad's hand is shaking the boxes.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{strained The Cheat noises}''

''{The Cheat presses play on the CD Player, which plays a sci-fi flyby sound effect. Cut back to Strong Bad. The box lifts into the air temporarily and lands on the ground.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh... we made it. ''{the boxes continue shaking}'' Ahem. ''Oh, we made it.'' ''{the boxes stop shaking}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' Awww...

'''STRONG BAD:''' According to my caculations ''{pronounced like "cal-cuh-lations"}'', our precious cargo should have already multiplied to about 50 bucks!

''{Strong Mad walks away behind the fence}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Holding up a "SOUND F/X" CD} {The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, right. We spent the precious cargo on that sound effect CD. Well, let me hear "Body falling down stairs".

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{agreeable-sounding The Cheat noises}'' ''{presses button on CD player}''

''{The sound effect of what sounds like a body falling down a staircase plays. Strong Bad moves his head with each thump on a stair. Homestar Runner rushes up with a sweater stuck over his head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You guys! You guys! I need help putting on this sweater!

'''STRONG BAD:''' A space mutant ''{stresses each syllable, like "myoo-tant"}'' from Satriony 5! Hit him with everything we got, Strap!

''{The Cheat pushes various buttons, and random laser sounds and explosions are played. Then The Cheat throws the CD case at Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aah! I knew I should have asked the Italian space program. ''{wanders off}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nice work, The Strap. Another sucessful mission for ''{music starts, singing}'' Space Captainface!

''{A piece of cardboard labelled SPACE CAPTAINFACE is lowered on a fishing hook above Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still singing}'' Pretender of the galaxies! He's always having space cocktails with hot 60's-looking girls!

''{Cut to wide shot, we see that The Cheat is holding a fishing rot with the SPACE CAPTAINFACE logo hanging from it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still singing, kind of}'' Where are all the hot 60's-looking girls? ''{music stops}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{enters}'' I'm im my 60's!

''{The Paper comes down.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The beeps in the slideshow are common when a presenter is given a set of slides and a tape - so the presenter knows when to change the slides.
*The "vague understanding of the theory of relativity" is a major misunderstanding of [[Wikipedia:Special relativity|Special relativity]], in particular the [[Wikipedia:twins paradox|twins paradox]].

===Remarks===
*As of this cartoon's release, only [[Wikipedia:Russia|Russia]], the [[Wikipedia:United States of America|USA]] and [[Wikipedia:China|China]] have [[Wikipedia:Human spaceflight|space programs]]. The [[Wiki:Italy|Italians]] do not have one.
*The fact that Homestar can't get his sweater on is ironic, because his difficulty is with the sleeves, and Homestar [[Lack of Visible Arms|has no visible arms]].
*In the old-fashioned video game shown on the TV, the player on the left is titled "Hamburger", even though it has a large layer of cheese in it, which would technically make it a cheeseburger.
===Inside References===
*The bust taped to the front of the Proud Anselmo is another usage of [[Van Buren]].
===Real-World Refrences===
*The S. CAPTAINFACE log is similar to the ones that occur at the beginning of [[Wikipedia:Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]] episodes.
*Strong Bad's reference to Homestar Runner as a mutant from Satriani 5 is most likely a reference to guitar virtuoso [[Wikipedia:Joe Satriani|Joe Satriani]].
* The narrator's comments about shirt-sleeves and flattops being the order of the day is a good description of late '60s early '70s NASA. Mission Control really did look like that (and chain smoke cigarettes) see Apollo 13.

Talk:Strong Bad is a Bad Guy

Slackerboy:

== The Field? ==
I know it's a little early on to be worrying about this, but I've gone ahead and labeled the place where SB, SM and The Cheat are as [[The Field]], although I'm doubting that it is. New page? Label it "A Field" without linking? Two cents? {{User:FireBird/sig}} 15:39, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:Well, it looks like the field to me, just without bushes. The entire art style in this toon is a naturally a little off. I think it's the field, but I wouldn't care if you called it something different. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 15:48, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
::I'm for keeping it as [[The Field]].-{{User:Kookykman/sig}}

== Easter Eggs? ==

Since we haven't gotten the direct Flash file yet, I can't use the seek bar to find Easter eggs. By the looks of it, I don't think there are any, but our good annonymous IP who crated the page apparently says there is ([{Strong Sad]] (Eater egg)). Any other way? {{User:FireBird/sig}} 15:56, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

:I fount the Flash file! Yay! http://www.homestarrunner.com/badguy.swf {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 16:01, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

:::Two, actually. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 17:24, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

== A Revelation for Homestar? ==

I'm not sure if this is important, but is this the first time that someone has mentioned to Homestar (or Homestar has admitted to himself) that he doesn't have arms? I know Strong Bad has mentioned his armlessness before, but always when alone and not within earshot of Homestar himself. I dunno if this counts as an important bit of data or not, but I just wanted to throw it out. [[User:Rocketlex|Rocketlex]] 16:21, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:I think that this is an important fact too. I'm going to [[STUFF]] it.--{{User:Kookykman/sig}} 20:25, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
::In [[fingers]], it was implied that Homestar knows about his situation. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:58, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Actually, my outlook on Homestar's "arms" are that they are obviously invisible. He carries things all the time. In fact, sometimes it is questionable about the invisible arms since in The Show, he can hold the microphone, hold the cards, and shuffle them at the same time. But all these prove that he has invisible arms.--[[User:Martin925|Martin925]] 20:44, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

== Of Snake Ladies, Nagas, and Warcraft ==

Snake/Human hybrids are, of course, not constrained to Warcraft and date back to Indian and Asian mythology. In fact, the name Naga isn't even constrained to Warcraft and denotes a wide variety of snake like mythical creatures in southern Asia. I propose the dropping of that particular reference and letting the Cheat's snake lady just be a product of his imagination rather than yet another spurious reference.

I'm no guitar expert (heck, I HATE all genres of popular music), so I used Google. The only picture of a three-necked guitar I found had the three necks parallel. Both Cheerleader's guitar and the Future Retro guitar have the necks non-parallel. In fact, the necks are arranged quite similarly.

== About the Goofs section ==

*During Kissy Boots' first practice session, both What's Her Face and Cheerleader are playing basses, possibly Fender basses, judging from the arrangement of string keys.

It seems the 'goof' above is more of a (not so) fun fact rather than a mistake or goof. Can someone explain why there is a "goofs" section for a cartoon based a bunch of drawings supposedly from Strong Bad? I always considered goofs as something strictly associated with movies. That is, goofs are mistakes made during filming of a movie that aren't caught or fixed before the final version. --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]] 15:29, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

** I didn't include the fact in question and did kinda wonder about its inclusion in the "Goofs" category. However, I did create the Fun Facts sub-categories, so I will defend the Goofs section in and of itself. A Goof is what happens when the Bros. Chaps make a mistake (not a Flash mistake, as that would be a Glitch, but a continuity or plot error). The above fact isn't really a "Goof", and I question that the twelve/twenty-sided die fact is a Goof (though it's closer), but yes, Goofs can and do happen in H*R cartoons. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 15:37, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

It does appear to be a four-string bass, since during the concert, Cheerleader plays (or pretends to play) a multinecked guitar with six machine heads per neck, so it's not just Strong Bad's artistic license.

"Smartly Pretty" is spelled all in math terms/symbols. Such as a plus sign in place of the "T" in Smartly. This is the second time in which Math has been connected to Teen Girl Squad, with the first example being in the email [[virus]], in which the numbers of PI were an issue number.

*'''Decline/Rewrite.''' I don't think there's so much a connection between TGS and math; the band name has to do with So and So's being "math crazy." --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 17:59, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
**How about: "Smartly Pretty is spelled with Math terms, which shows So and So's math obsession." --[[User:BegyLips|BegyLips]]

=== Soulbait (Declined) ===
The Bass Guitar turning into a shark is most likely a reference to the music video Soulbait by Code of Ethics, which features musical intruments turning into fish.

* I know everybody wants to see their favorite band/reality TV series/collectible card game/leg referenced by TBC, but I'm just not believing that TBC were really making a direct reference to an obscure '90s Christian rock band that doesn't have so much as its own web site.

**'''Second.''' That is, '''Decline''' for reasons stated above. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 22:00, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Second.''' But if this one gets removed, we're going to seriously have to take a look at some of the other Real life references that DID make the list (like the Saved by the Bell and Nickelodeon ones) that have even less to go on. - [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

**Meh, doesn't matter that much. But if you are going to dismiss someone's fun fact on the grounds that its obscure, it really is only fair to go after equally obscure ones.[[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

=== CGNU (Declined) ===
The Girls probably go to CGNU, where Strong bad is the principal.

*'''Decline.''' It's been stated that they're in eighth grade (despite the "I'M FIVE YEARS OLDER AND IN COLLEGE!!!" from Cheerleader). At most, they're at the didn't-exist-until-I-started-typing-just-now Crazy Go Nuts Prep Academy, but it's much more likely that Strong Bad was just writing himself in to be cool. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 18:56, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

**'''Second.''' --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:yeahyeah|yeahyeah]]
*'''Decline.''', as CGNU is meant to be a college of some sort (thus the "university").[[User:Donny vs Universe|# Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Rewrite, accept.''' I think this is clearly a reference to Strong Bad being the principal of CGNU. Perhaps saying something about that without saying that they go there would be more appropriate. [[User:209.175.21.2|209.175.21.2]]
**'''Second''' It's more of a reference to Strong Bad being the ''prinicpal'' of CGNU. :) Seriously though, this is a legitimate reference - the misspelling of "principal" is intentional. Perhaps a reference to the misspelling in the CGNU e-mail should go on the TGS8 page, while a mention of Strong Bad being "prinicpal" at both CGNU and the school attended by TGS should go on Strong Bad's bio page. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 00:42, 13 Feb 2005 (MST)
*'''Unsure''' CGNU could offer 8th grade as well as 9-12, seeing as how some American schools offer that for certain financial reasons. -Walking Armless
