Any ideas on how to categorize this page? - [[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 19:44, 27 Oct 2004 (MST)

== Copyright violation ==
Other than the introduction and background, I don't think there's anything on this page that one couldn't get simply from watching the toon. Additionally, I think that reproducing the "book" in its entirity (complete with images) is even more of a copyright violation than we normally do (that is to say, if anything crosses the line, this does for sure). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:06, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Hey, you wrote the same exact word-for-word thing on the Where My Hat Is At? discussion! Cool. --[[User:daunrealist|daunrealist]] 04:55, 8 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::Yep. It's the same issue in both instances. Copy and paste makes everything easier. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:49, 8 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I added a secret STRONG BAD VERSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Strongbad handles this book the same way he does with [[kids' book]] and that decemberween version thingy. --[[User:Darklinkskywalker|Darklinkskywalker]] 00:03, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I just found out that the peeps at [adult swim] this week in their pre 12:30 AM bump Monday through Wednesday used the Strong Bad quote "I am the very strongest. You guys are not that strong." from the book. It was used with what looked like a crudly drawn characture of a tough guy P\/\//\/I/\/G a fallen victim with his head ripped off from his neck.

== purchase? ==

is there anywhere I can purchase or check out this book?--{{User:Benol/sig}} 19:24, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
:To quote Mike, "Just a story we made one afternoon, went to Kinko's, made about ten or fifteen copies of it, and kind of gave it to our friends, and that was it, really, for several years. We just did that in the summer. We were in college, and did it in a bored afternoon." So there's only a few copies in the world, belonging to the Brothers Chaps' friends. It's unlikely that you'll find one. Although... It would be an awesome edition to the [[Store]], I think. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::That would be awesome. TBC, if you're reading this... you shoud totally do that. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 00:28, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Ok, let's all start to....

:Do you think we should link this page to the [[404'd]] page somehow? I think it belongs somewhere on this page, but I'm not quite sure where...
[[User:Thunderbird L17|''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|<=>Thunderbird<=>]]</tt>'']] 23:51, 3 Mar 2005 (MST)

::Done. Though it could probably use some work... →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]

I like the movement of the pictures too. Especially since most pages are like that. (Why didn't I think of that...?)
[[User:Thunderbird L17|''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|<=>Thunderbird<=>]]</tt>'']] 20:54, 6 Mar 2005 (MST)

::True, true... [[User:Thunderbird L17|''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|<=>Thunderbird<=>]]</tt>'']] 20:57, 6 Mar 2005 (MST)

==Almost Teen Girl Squads==

There are already three of them under the 'Fun Facts', we have a section for Strong Bad Email, so why not Teen Girl Squad? ''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|<=>Thunderbird<=>]]</tt>'' 15:29, 3 Apr 2005 (MDT)

:I just added in the "Sample" under issues and left the 404 page and virus appearance as is. IMO, "Sample" is more of a partial-issue and and virus is just a reference (it's only one line...). Having Sample as a "half-issue" of TGS makes sense to me, but not virus or the 404 page. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 16:04, 3 Apr 2005 (MDT)

::But remember, some of the "Not Quite Strong Bad Emails" have only one line or so as a reference, like Fan Costume Commentary. -- [[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 22:36, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:::And I don't think that they count as "Not Quite Strong Bad Emails" either, but I think I'm in the minority there. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 00:08, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

==Funky Friends==

Teen Girl Squad seem to be a parody of Funky Friends (A girly fad). I once saw a comic about them that was very similar to Episode 3. One of the girls even looks like What's-Her-Face.

Although the concept of everybody dying is absent, TGS reminds me of Girl Squad from an episode of Dexter's Lab, wherein a bunch of girls would do stupid stuff because they thought they were fighting crime.

== Too biographical? ==

Do we need so much info on the TGS' character pages? (i.e. stuff that happened in one toon) Shouldn't we stick with the general stuff? And seriously, dump "Cheerleader/What's Her Face/The Ugly One's real name is either Virginia, Joy, or Jennifer"; the names given [[comic]] are likely to be never used again. --[[User:Trogga|TROGGA!]] 02:34, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

:I think the more information that we can get (besides obvious stuff, like, "Cheerleader starts with 'C'") the better. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''

[[wikipedia:Whatever_Happened_to_Robot_Jones|Whatever happened to]] [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once|Once And Only Once]]? --[[User:Trogga|TROGGA!]] 03:19, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

::To chime in with my two cents: I don't agree fully with either of you (I just have to be belligerent, huh? ;) ). Trogga: I think you take Once and Only Once far too seriously. It's okay if some information is duplicated, as long as it is duplicated appropriately. By your standards, there wouldn't be any character pages, because everything about the characters can logically be found in the various Toon pages... Firebird: The TGS character pages do seem a bit too cluttery to me. I think that character pages really should be about general character traits. The "hurt by" lists seem a bit excessive to me, especially as more TGS's appear... it would be like putting Strong Bad's email songs all listed on Strong Bad's character page... <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 03:24, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

:::I say we reword and brush out all the little stuff in the biography, and keep the "Hurt By" sections. This way the bio looks clean and all the things in it can go into "Hurt By". Make sense? (I'm sure it doesn't.) →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''

::::That sounds aprettypretty good. The "hurt by" lists are fine if you don't have the same stuff written up in the biographical paragraph (which is how it is now). <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 03:32, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

I think that it only seems cluttered (even to me) because there aren't as many toons that they are in. That means that if you like them, you will watch the same things over again and if you want more information, you turn here. But since you have allready seen everything, it seems a bit repetitive.

== StereoTypes!!!! ==

Don't the TGS members look a lot like high school stereotypes? -Kinsey
:I believe that is the POINT of the whole comic. --[[User:mibluvr13|mibluvr13]] 18:46, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:Slightly obvious, but true

== its vs. it's - Running gag status? ==

''On the closing screen, the contraction "it's" is misspelled as the possessive "its."''

Is this a running gag or a goof? Please make your statements in the proper area below.

'''Arguments for Running gag:'''
*Obviously not every running gag appears in every issue; The Birds are a running gag too, and only appear in some issues. The fact that it happens four non-consecutive times argues against it being accidental, but I think it should be noted in some way.
*The fact that it's repeated 4 times--but not every time--increases its import.

'''Arguments for Goof:'''
*Also, it represents a grammar error on Strong Bad's part, which we tend to point out since he's so picky with other people.
*If it's a gag, then why come it doesn't happen every issue?
*The TGS font does't include apostrophes. Everytime TBC want to use one, they have to manually add it in. I guess it's not always worth the effort. Even Whats Her Face is missing an apostrophe. - {{User:Joshua/sig}}
**I think it's just them being lazy. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 19:58, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*It's just an accident that has happened to occur multiple times. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 19:26, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*Mike has admitted that he has trouble with its/it's. [[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 19:40, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*I think they're sometimes just lazy with this... but a lazy goof is still a goof. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:45, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*It is a simple gramatical error. Nothing more, nothing less. Come ''on'' people! {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 21:14, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

'''Additional comments:'''
*Either way, it gets listed. Both goofs and running gags are automatically noted. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:34, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Color vs. Black & White ==
For character pages, should we update the images with the color versions, where appropiate? Or should we just leave as is? Or should we put up a color image along with the black-and-white one? - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 15:53, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

:Like [[Strong Bad|many]] [[Homestar Runner|other]] [[Strong Mad|pages]], I believe we should have ''both'' versions on the TGS character pages. {{User:gwr2004/sig}} 00:16, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

== Capitalization ==
Okay guys, what's our policy on transcribing the TG's dialogue, with regard to capitalization? I mean, they don't capitalize ''anything''; we go as far as capitalizing the first letters of sentences for them. But shouldn't "it's our tenth issuev-ersary" '''not''' transcribe as "Issue-versary"? —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 00:05, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

== Real-World Reference? ==

The TGS' refrain, "SO GOOD!" is the name of a song in the Bratz Rock Angelz Album. Ironically, the Bratz resemble the same teen girl stereotype:fashion-obsessed, trendy girls. Should this be mentioned?(By the way, the only reason I know this is because I was clicking "Random Page" on Wikipedia and stumbled apon it. I don't play with Bratz!) [[User:Llamanade|Llamanade]] 03:49, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
:Depending on when the Bratz CD came out, it's more likely a [[Sightings|sighting]], if it's anything. I.e. if it was after Dec. 2, 2002. But it's most likely a coincidence; James Brown's hit [[Wikipedia:I Got You {I Feel Good)|]] also features those words prominently, but that doesn't make this a reference to that. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:04, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

== "er" vs "a" ==

Anybody else find it a bit odd how the girls say their "er" suffixes as "a"? For example, see [[Olda Boys]]. Does anyone else think this is important enough to warrant some mention on the Wiki? --[User:breadtangle breadtangle] ([User_talk:breadtangle talk]) 02:38, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

I do. --[[User:Sam Goldfish|Sam Goldfish]] 15:05, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

==See Also vs Navigation Template==

Do we really need "See Also" if we have the navigation template at the bottom of the page with many of the links already there? And if it isn't in the template, shouldn't it be? I think the template is enough, using "See Also" only in instances where there is no Temlate, yet there is still a distinct link between no more than 2 or 3 pages. Good examples are [[Floppy Disk Container]] ⇔ [[Couch Mumbling]], and [[Quote of the Week]] ⇔ [[Weekly Fanstuff]] ⇔ [[Sketchbook]]. And then of course disambiguation is used only when the pages have similar page names. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 06:35, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

=="Back" Button==

Is it worth mentioning that in some issues the back button will bring you to the toons menu and in other issues it will bring you back to the TGS issue menu thing?

[[User:Darthvader66|Darthvader66]] 12:48, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

:Sure! {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:45, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

==South park similarities==
has anyone noticed the simialrities between south park and tgs? for example, they die and then are back in the next episode with no explanation. same with south park's kenny mccormick. also, both have bad animation, feature four friends as the main characters, and have intentionally bad voice acting. ~ [[User:StrongChad|StrongChad]] 04:07 pm, 1/29/05
:Never thought about it before, but I'm willing to chalk it up to coincidence. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:08, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Teen Girl Squad

2006-02-03T20:20:52Z

Zabulash: Teen Girl Squad moved to Teen Girl Squad ON WHEEEEEEEEEEELS!!!

[[Image:TGSmenuwith10.PNG|thumb|Teen Girl Squad menu]]
[[Image:teengirlsquad.png|thumb|The girls are looking SO GOOD!]]

'''Teen Girl Squad''' began in the [[Strong Bad Email]] "[[comic]]," when a girl named Brittany asked if [[Strong Bad]] could make a comic strip about her four friends: Virginia, Joy, Kristin, and Jennifer. Strong Bad's spur of the moment comic strip soon became a series of its own. Teen Girl Squad centers on four teenage girls — [[Cheerleader]], [[So and So]], [[What's Her Face]], and [[The Ugly One]] — who like to buy clothes, attract cute boys and look "SO GOOD!" Unfortunately, they are often subjected to the random dangers of Strong Bad's overactive imagination. Being [[Death|killed]] doesn't seem to be a problem for the girls, however, for they are always back for the next episode.

**Cheerleader: Hair products!

**The Ugly One: "i'm in love with liquid paper."
**The Ugly One: "i have a crush on EVERY BOY!"
**What's Her Face: "nothing is cool"
