==Your Honor, I Object!==
I kind of have to say, I object to the fun fact concerning Strong Bad's family. There have been at least a couple references to the Strong Brothers' parents before, the first of which that comes to mind is in the sbemail "the facts". -- awk

==Coach Z Q==
What's up with this thing about Coach Z and basketballs and what 'Matt' thinks? -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 10:51, 16 Feb 2005 (MST)

== You can't marry your guitar, Caleb! ==

An old version of the transcript said that the TV actor said, "You can't marry your guitar, Caleb!" instead of "Can you play your guitar, Caleb?" I listened to the file, and I actually think it's the first line. Who cares that "It don't make sense!!!!11111111111oneoneone"? Nothing on HSR makes sense! It sounds nothing like "Can you play", and everything like "You can't marry".

I'm not going to edit the transcript, though. Then someone would revert it and call me an idiot. :-p [[User:mathgrant|mathgrant]] 16:45, 16 Feb 2005 (MST)
: That was me who reverted it and... uh... you're right, it DOES sound like that. My bad. I shoulda checked that one over before reverting (of course, it was in the middle of two clearly bad edits...) --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 17:00, 16 Feb 2005 (MST)

== So long, suckers ==

This is from the Simpsons, isn't it?

:No, it's a common phrase. Please sign your posts. →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]

==Stupid Uncle Egg==
How do we really know Homestar doesnt have a Stupid Uncle Egg?
: Er, because the narration says so? </duh> --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 21:35, 17 Feb 2005 (MST)

Do you think they will make Stupid Uncle Egg shirts? I want one.

:I'm pretty sure that they won't have a Stupid Uncle Egg shirt, for one, he doesn't exist. Also, they never designed him, so if they did make such a shirt, they'd have to design a character that doesn't exist and that nobody cares about except for you. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 10:17, 20 Feb 2005 (MST)

:I care about Stupid Uncle Egg, despite the fact that he doesn't exist and apparently makes people very angry. While waiting for the shirt to come out, take a sharpie and write "STUPID UNCLE EGG" on a white tee-shirt to become the first kid in your town to gambol around the campfire in one!

== Cheating the The ==

*This is the first time that The Cheat has been ''directly'' addressed as just "Cheat" without the word "The" preceeding it, as well as the first time that Strong Bad has been directly addressed by another character ''with'' a "The" preceeding his name! This may possibly be an add-on to the senseless names used in this email, although it is more likely a transposition of The Cheat's 'the' to Strong Bad's name.

or

*When Homestar walks in on Strong Bad and The Cheat, he mixes up their names and greets them as "Cheat and The Strong Bad", transposing the "The". This is a new variation on Homestar's tendency to screw up other peoples' names.

The former was replaced by the latter. The problem is, even if you didn't like the original, the latter fact is ''utterly useless'' (basically repeats what's in the transcript.) You know, some people like knowing facts about the first time something happens - that's kind of the reason I split Trivia from Remarks (which is what the new fact is AT BEST) in the first place! --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 00:32, 19 Feb 2005 (MST)
: I changed it to an alternate form that doesn't have the mention of "The Strong Bad" and doesn't have the unnecessary note appended to the end. I also added a comment requesting that people mention WHAT IS SO HORRIBLE about the fact before they change it or append useless comments to the end. I don't mean to sound arrogant, but BaconS's rewrite was useless incarnate, and we don't need to know WHY it's the first time he's just "Cheat"; the fact simply states that it IS. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 00:06, 20 Feb 2005 (MST)

: I hope I don't bother anyone by changing it to the fact that it's the first time any character refers to The Cheat as simply Cheat. And I'm ''quite'' sure SB's been referred to as "The Strong Bad" before. --[[User:Shingen|Shingen]] 18:37, 25 Feb 2005 (MST)

::It isn't. He called himself it in [[pizzaz]]. --[[User:Venusy|Venusy]] 01:45, 26 Feb 2005 (GMT)

:This is kinda silly, because, in fact, he *isn't* really directly refered to as "Cheat", because it's a Homestar joke. What was written there before ([[User:Shingen|Shingen]]'s edit) made it sound like the brothers screwed up or something (you have to listen to/read the script carefuly to realise otherwise). I have edited to be less misleading (which involves mentioning the fact it was Homestar's screw up - not so bad, it's a fact after all). It's also a bit shorter now, which is good, because it's not a very important fact (it would be if the brothers *had* screwed up).

== Using one of Strong Bad's Gags on my friends at school ==

I actually used the idea of the white chocolate Speed Stick at school on some of my friends.

Instructions on how to make your own Edible speed stick:

1. Clean out an old Deoderant container very good to get rid of the cake inside. (Make sure that you have CLEANED IT REALLY GOOD!)

2.Melt down the chocolate in your own special way into a liquid.

3. Lubricate the inside of the container with melted butter.

4. Pour the chocolate into the container and then put it into the refridge.

5. Be careful of the butter, it will be greasy! Turn the dial at the bottom to push the cooled chocolate up.

6. Now go ask someone if they want deoderant and eat it right in front of them!

:-D -Everybody!

Ya know, when school starts, I think I'll do that do somebody.-[[User:Ookelaylay|Ookelaylay]] 18:06, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I am sooo trying that. -[[User:GG Crono|GG Crono]]

==Closed STUFF==

These were on the [[STUFF]] page and declined. If you wish to contest these, leave a note here, but don't allow it to be confused with any of the original votes.

===The king eats deodorant...but what does he reference? (REVISED)===

The King of Town's quip about the deodorants being "strong enough for a man" is a reference to "Secret" brand deodorant ads, whose slogan used to be "Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman." It's also a reference to Imperial Margarine adverts from the 1970's, wherein the slogan was "Imperial Margarine...with flavour fit for a King!".

*Now the first one is an obvious '''Accept,''' because the Secret deodorant ads are commonly known and widely quoted. The second one I have to '''Decline,''' because I don't think that "tasty enough for a king" is close to "flavour fit for a King." --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 20:21, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 20:27, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**I've kind of wondered about the purpose of the '''Second''' part of that fact as well... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:32, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second''' -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 20:34, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' First fact accept, second decline, same reasons. [[User:Crystallina|Crystallina]] 20:38, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 23:58, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

**'''Second.''' —[[User:Mikelx215|Mikelx215]] 21:47 PM, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second''' said [[User:The Pardack|The Pardack]]

===The bouncing ball===

When Coach Z bounces the basketball, it sounds like a dodgeball instead of a basketball.

*'''Decline''' a bounce is a bounce [[User:The_Pardack|The_Pardack]]
*'''Accept.''' First thing I thought of when I heard the bounce. TBC needs a new Foley artist! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 15:07, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline'''This was under "goofs" wasn't it? Gads, I hate facts like this. Its a sound effect, so who cares? [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Decline''' It may sound like a dodge ball, but in the DVD, when Mike Chapman is going against Homestar in Basketball, that's how their basketball sounds. [[User:Snailmail|Snailmail]]
===Pamcakes and Pimecones (DECLINED)===
Homestar's use of the word "pimecone" instead of "pinecone" is reminiscent of his usage of the word "pamcakes" instead of "pancakes" in [[montage]].
*'''Neutral.''' I don't really know about this one. It... kinda has merit... hm... →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 19:55, 23 Feb 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept''' Reasonable, I guess... --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 20:41, 27 Feb 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 10:53, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' Homestar pronouces 'n's as 'm's; he's always done this and he probably always will. ;[[User:The Pardack|The Pardack]]
**'''Comment''' This is not ''always'' true. There are many cases where he pronounces 'n'. I think this fact is worth mentioning, albeit not incredibly interesting. --[[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]] 11:33, 3 Mar 2005 (CST)
**'''Comment''' If he always pronounced 'n's and 'm's, wouldn't he have said "pimecome"? Just saying... --[[User:Alun Clewe|Alun Clewe]] 01:40, 30 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Strong Decline''' Homestar has a speech impediment. He does pronounce 'n's as 'm's. This is amazingly obvious so it should not be a fun fact.
**He never pronounces "Marzipan" as "Marzipam". --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 18:41, 18 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' And Homestar also pronounces R's as W's, but we're not putting that one in the funfacts either, are we? [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 14:10, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
*'''Comment''' Almost everyone is saying that this is common. But really - other than "pimecone" and "pamcake", when has Homestar EVER switched Ms and Ns? I can't think of even one other time. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Decline.''' Accurate, but not notable. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 09:38, 11 Apr 2005 (MDT)
*'''Move?''' Perhaps this would be worth noting in Homestar's character page?--[[User:rsl12|rsl12]] 17:56, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept''' What, nobody can answer my question? Then this fact is very likely TRUE! --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 19:31, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Move.''' Substituting 'm' for 'n' may be a running gag... Leomard Sportsinterviews, anyone? --[[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 19:28, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Declime''' I don't think this is true, really. --[[user: lappy 486]] 25 Apr
===Bumdumbourge and Totalslava (DECLINED)===
Bumdumbourg and Totalslava are obviously loose references to the countries Luxembourg and Bratslava.

*'''Decline.''' Bratslava isn't a country, nor is it even spelled right! The correct spelling is Bratislava, which is the capital of Slovakia. The only one who could even really be considered a reference is Bumdumborge, and even that's a stretch. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]]
** '''Second''' The Luxembourg reference is TOO obvious, and the "Bratslavia" too wrong. The former Yugoslavia would work better, but it's still pretty obvious that SB was just making up country-like names off the top of his head (similar to Dortugal and Prance.) --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 15:23, 15 Feb 2005 (MST)
** Yeah, but at least Dortugal and Prance ARE real country names, only with the first letter changed. These ones are just totally random, and not correlating to anything, so... '''Second'''. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 16:27, 15 Feb 2005 (MST)
*Maybe that's why he said it was an obvious reference. And, if anyone cares to know, someone revised this fact, so this STUFF really isn't necessary. --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 14:27, 2 Mar 2005 (MST)
**...and I wrote this one. But give me a break! I'm not from Europe, and I was wrong. Get off my back. Like I said, It's been changed. [[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 14:39, 2 Mar 2005 (MST)
***Why the hell do you think nobody's commented on this since February 15? I know it was changed. We all know it was changed. Why do you think I STUFFed it in the first place? In a way it was to get it to be changed! Word to the wise, acekirby13, next time you try to post a fun fact, make sure it's as factual as possible. That doesn't necessarily mean it'll stand up in a court of HR Wiki law, but at least you won't be laid to ridicule as much as you were here. And if you're this sensitive to criticism, then don't post here at all. Nobody likes a crybaby! [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 08:22, 7 Mar 2005 (MST)
****Calm down, Kerrek! Nobody likes a smartass either. [[User:homestar3.14|homestar3.14]] 12:23, 10 Mar 2005 (EST)
*****Maybe not, but he shouldn't have complained about my STUFFing his fact.[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 06:39, 11 Mar 2005 (MST)
******Who's complaining? I simply stated why my fact was so dam wrong. Your face doesn't have to turn the color of the Reddest Raddish because of that. And, at least I admitted to such a terrible mistake. I'm sure that more than a couple of users haven't stood up and admitted to their STUFFed facts. ...anyway, its over and done, so lets drop it, or this could turn into a pretty bad flame war. --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 18:12, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)
*******Whatever, bro. Just be careful what you post in the future, and don't threaten me again. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 11:26, 15 Mar 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' SB's makin' 'em up on the fly. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 09:41, 11 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**'''Comment''' The voting on this one stopped about a month ago tomstiff, it has been changed. --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 13:37, 11 Apr 2005 (MDT)
**'''Comment.''' I thought if a vote wasn't closed, then it was ... well ... open! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 17:47, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Comment.''' Woah. Isn't what brings this community together the laughter and enjoyment that homestar runner gives us? If you want to play the intellectual superiority game, why don't you go over to the MENSA wiki?--[[User:rsl12|rsl12]] 18:01, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Comment.''' Are you talkin' to ''me''? -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:10, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Comment.'''Nope, I was talking to Islayedthekerrek. No manners at all. Sorry for not making it clearer.--[[User:rsl12|rsl12]] 18:08, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Comment''' Sorry tomstiff, I just want to forget this one, but the fact HAS been changed already, so if you really hate this one, then STUFF the new version. --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 20:38, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Comment.''' I don't hate it ... at least not yet ... JOKE! I didn't realize it had been "closed" until after I voted. My point is ... if it's closed then why is it still open? To paraphrase a vote much further up the page ''It ain't closed until The Eggman closes it.'' And with that, let me re-unofficially close what had been unofficially closed. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 20:50, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Lol''' Thanks for making me look like a fool, man by quoting me. Naw, seriously, I was just angry at myself for making such a dumb fun fact. -[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 20:53, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''D'oh!''' I had no idea I was quoting ''you''. Any fool-making was purely accidental! Let's get this thing closed before more hilarity ensues! Yoo hoo! The Eggman! Over here! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 21:04, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Too Late!''' The hilarity be ensuing already! I was just kidding when I said you made me look like a fool, though... '_' -[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]] 22:44, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''I'm here... and getting to it...''' I just did a huge number on the finished ones up through Best Thing the other night. I'll get from Rock Opera on in the next day or so - been busy with non-H*R stuff... (I know, I know, heaven forbid...) --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 03:45, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

===Strong Bad's Poopaw (Declined)===

The reference to Strong Bad's poopaw is one of the first four times, after "Homestarloween Party", "The Facts", and "Pizzaz", that Strong Bad is mentioned as having any other relatives besides Strong Sad. The number of times that Strong Bad is mentioned as having any relatives at all, has got to be at least twenty.

*'''Decline''' This is addressed at the bottom of the page in another vote. We don't need any more of these "this is the first time that *so-and-so* does/says/reveals *thus-and-such*. Besides the line "one of the first four times" already makes this non-unique as a "fun fact" and therefore not fun. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 22:07, 15 Feb 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' "Homestar does not have a stupid uncle Egg". C'mon folks, the brothers Chap are making fun of people that make fun facts like this. --[[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Decline''' "Any other relatives besides Strong Sad"? What about Strong Mad? Even if the "fact" were revised to mention Strong Mad along with Strong Sad, though, it still wouldn't be noteworthy enough to be worth accepting. --[[User:Alun Clewe|Alun Clewe]] 04:07, 17 Feb 2005 (MST)
**'''Second.''' →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 13:00, 19 Feb 2005 (MST)
**'''Second''' --[[User:68.59.0.135|68.59.0.135]] 20:40, 27 Feb 2005 (MST)

== This is a goof? ==

"In Marzipan's newspaper, the word "easy" should be "easier."" doesn't seem like much of a goof too me. I mean, obviously the newspaper reporter made a goof, but he or she doesn't seem like a very diligent reporter, so it's not necessarily TBC that goofed. I think it's worthy of at least a note.

== Coach Z's Finances ==

In this e-mail, he claims that he can't afford to go buy the "money-cost variety" of ice cream, yet in [[lunch special]], he orders all kinds of food from Bubs' Concession Stand (hot wings, egg rolls, and a Cod Plank Platter). Has he had a financial crisis somewhere in between? --[[User:KoopaTroopa211|KoopaTroopa211]] 21:41, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
:Hm... Coach Z has always been poor; maybe Bubs' food is really ''really'' cheap, and ice cream is really ''really'' expensive. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 00:30, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

== This is a special announcement... ==

I know it's not exactly the biggest part of the site, but I think we should have an article about the different narrators in each SBemail or toon. I mean, isn't the narrator here the same one that's used in [[radio]]? And what about the [[Commandos in the Classroom]] narrator? {{User:Teh Frossty One/sig}}
:Bigger question is, why haven't you already made one? Be '''bold''' Frossty One! {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 21:02, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
::Here's a place where they can reside: [[Narrators]]. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 15:57, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

== Marzipan's mouth? ==
has anybody noticed that when marzipan is sitting on the couch, before she talks to homestar, her mouth is shaped the old way (a U) and then after she talks to homestar her mouth is shaped the new way. (less U-ish, more straight.) maybe this should be acknowledged somewhere? [[User:DDRfreak1|posted by DDRfreak1]] 01:49, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Watch me do a little bit o' email, and I'll watch you do a little bit o' ''{screen reads "File Not Found," as Strong Bad accidentally typed "stongbad_email.exe"}'' uh— that's never happened before. ''{singing}'' Watch me do a little bit o' email, and I'll watch you do a little bit o' ''{email loads properly this time}'' uh— that's never happened befo— oh wait, it's an email. That ''has'' happened before. And quite a few times if I remember correctly. All right, so...

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
Respond to this E-Mail in the 
funniest way ever. 
 
From Sam</blockquote>

''{he reads "From Sam" as if the whole phrase was the emailer's name}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Let's see here...I can tape this blank floppy disk to my head ''{he doesn't actually type "blank"}'' and start talking gibberish and acting like the crazy squeaky guy. LEEKO! LEEKO! LEEKO! I'm a squeaky guy! ''{jumps up on the table and starts dancing around}'' I got squeaky pants! Come check out my squeaky pants dance! Squee squaw squee squaw squee squaw ''{a bottle of ketchup falls from the ceiling into his hands and he starts pouring it over everything and hitting the keyboard with his foot, producing "WHOA!! I CAN TYPE WITH ONE FOOT!"}'' punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity! Aunt Ruthie! Aunt Ruthie! There's ketchup on the computer! Halzee-WHOOP!

''{He leaps from the table backwards and starts spinning while bouncing around the floor on his head}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pont-REER! Pont-REER! Pont-REER! Pont-REER! Pont-REER! Pont-REER!

''{He runs up to Strong Sad and starts yelling rhyming gibberish at him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Jor Jee Jibbera Jaw! Huppidda Roopja Oop Jup Jaw! Ooka Oog

''{Strong Sad begins talking over him.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Quit that!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooka Reetoo Taw!

'''STRONG SAD:''' You're freakin' me out.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{pauses shortly, then continues}'' Eeckoo Ickoo Ickoo Slaw! Hooka Hoo Ha!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did you take some of my pills again?

''{Cut to Compy. Bubs and The Cheat are dipping fries in the ketchup poured over the computer.}''

'''BUBS:''' You know what? You're right, The Cheat! This computer catsup is better than the regular kind! Or that purple kind.

''{Strong Bad walks back in}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, all right. Clear outta here, you two! 'Cept for you, The Cheat. ''{The Cheat grumbles}'' You better start cleaning this mess up!

'''BUBS:''' What happened in here? Some type of ketchup bomb go off?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nah, not really. I was answering an e-mail and dancing and acting like a squeaky guy and I started throwing ketchup everywhere.

'''BUBS:''' Oh. That's pretty cool.

''{Strong Bad does a double-take behind him to make sure nobody's around.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sotto voce to Bubs}'' Hey, man, are ketchup bombs real?

'''BUBS:''' Not yet! ''{raises french fry and runs off}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to The Cheat}'' Well? Aren't you gonna go get your 409 or Awesome Sauce or whatever you're gonna clean this up with? ''{The Cheat squeaks at him and starts heading off}'' Maybe a moist chamois? ''{tries a fry with the computer ketchup}'' Ooh! This computer ketchup ''is'' pretty good! Needs more RAM, though. Maybe a couple of megachips.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*If you click on Strong Bad's face (not head) while he is spinning upside down (the floppy disk itself does not work), Homestar will come out to say something funny. It may take a few tries to get it; you have to be quite quick. It's easier to get it with the Tab key and Enter.
:''{Homestar Runner walks in from the left. Strong Bad re-enters from the right, still bouncing on his head and spouting his gibberish.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ohhh... Hi, Strong Bad. I was just stopping by to do something funny, but, um... I can see you don't need my help this week.
:''{Strong Bad bounces off to the left while Homestar looks on.}''

*At the very end you can click on a blob of ketchup near the left fries to see the ketchup bottle.

== Fun Facts ==
===Remarks===
*This is the first time that we see how Strong Bad eats.
*Strong Sad is depressed by nature as part of his character, but here it is actually implied that he may be ''clinically'' depressed — thereby explaining the reference to his "pills."

*The tape isn't affected by the contrast knob.
*The Quite Fancy 'Chup image is cut off near the top, if you look closely it ends in a straight horizontal line near the topmost green shade of The Paper.
*Strong Bad's leg actually goes through his body for one frame when he's walking at the scene where he tells Bubs and The Cheat to leave. This is best seen if you view the Flash file and stop the movie when Strong Bad walks up. Then watch the movie frame by frame from that point.

===Glitches===
*When Strong Bad tapes the floppy disk to his head, the contrast dial does not affect its reflection, nor does it affect the reflection of his hand.

===Inside References===
*The sounds Strong Bad makes when he is next to Strong Sad are very similar to the ones from his email song in [[big white face]].
*Strong Bad typing in "stongbad_email.exe" is a reference to [[50 emails]], where one emailer called Strong Bad "Stong Bad."
*Strong Bad typing with his foot is similar to how he types with his head in [[sisters]].

===Real-World References===
*[http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=chamois Chamois] is actually pronounced "Shammy." Strong Bad pronounces it "Sham-oyce," like it is spelled, in an attempt to rhyme with "moist."

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]])

'''MIKE:''' So here's the commentary track...

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Are we gonna do that kind of intro to all of them?

'''MIKE:''' I don't know.

'''MATT:''' As if they've just found this ''one'' one.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Well, maybe.

'''MATT:''' So welcome to commentary if you accidentally—

'''MIKE:''' Can you turn on the commentary throughout? And it'll automatically—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' I think so, you just hit the "audio" button.

'''MIKE:''' ''{imitating newscaster}'' In case you've accidentally hit your "audio" button, you've just joined already in progress commentary track number eigh-ty...

'''MATT:''' Alright, sorry, I didn't know, let's start over.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' I'm j'st kidding. No, no, this is great, this is great. We have nothing cool that has happened yet.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' So "Leeko leeko leeko" is something Mike used to say when we'd uh, like, get when he'd get excited. And um, what game is in the thing there, right there? Oh, "Odell Lake." ''{Mike laughs}'' That was a great game for the old Apple II D that we played in school.

'''MIKE:''' Our cousin Jim used to say, "Fonkity fonkity."

'''MATT:''' Yeah, he'd hit himself in the head with a

'''MIKE AND MATT:''' wiffle-ball bat.

'''MIKE:''' And, uh, yeah. And he used to do that, too. ''{Matt laughs}'' He used to jump around on his head saying "pont-reer".

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' That's not true. That's not true.

'''MIKE:''' He's a very talented guy.

'''MATT:''' "Pont-reer" is just, uh, my generic, like uh, cartoon sound effect. It just seems like cartoons would just be like, "Pont-REER!" and then they'd do something. Oh, this is the best dance ever. Mike did this dance. I love it. And actually, this is sort of like, I think we've mentioned it before, but it's sort of like, uh— What he's saying, the weird chanting he's doing is kind of like this, uh, in that very stru— uh, Bugs Bunny episode we were talking about, where he's on the desert island. He does, like, a weird native dance and just kinda sounds like that.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Ohhhh. Matt always throws in this stuff from old Looney Toons that I don't know.

'''MATT:''' Well, I mean, it's sub— subconscious.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Sure.

'''MATT:''' Don't sue me ''{Mike snickers}'', don't— I'm not, er, not plagiarizing.

'''MIKE:''' I love those little, uh, French fry trays.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' The red and white checkerboarded ones...? I remember one time I made, uh, some Long John— I made, uh, the Long John Silver's trays, cardboard trays that the fries and stuff came in, were— looked like boats, and I played with them and they're all greasy and... ''{Matt chuckles}'' But I loved them.

'''MATT:''' Uh, there's really a cleaner called, uh, Awesome

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Awesome, yeah

'''MATT:''' ''{continues}'' right? Yeah, our friend Tobin got us, that he keep— we keep mentioning.

'''MIKE:''' Look, this is one of the few times that Strong Bad eats ever.

'''MATT:''' ''{chuckles}'' It just disappears into his mouth.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' It— into his flesh mouth.

'''MATT:''' Couple of megachips. ''{Strong Bad in background says, "Maybe a couple of megachips"}'' That's what he said.

===Fun Facts===
*The [[Wikipedia:Bugs Bunny|Bugs Bunny]] cartoon is [[IMDb:0036508|''Wackiki Wabbit'']], which was also referenced in [[island]].

==Girl or Ghoul?==

I just reverted an edit that changed Homestar's line from "little boy or little girl" to "little boy or little '''ghoul'''." I get the holiday pun, but I think it's just Homstar's accent. Comments?-- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:40, 26 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I think that's just Homestar's speech impediment and him saying '''''gul'''''. Just jike in [[Puppets on the Road]]."'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're attracting girls ''{pronounced "guls"}''.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 13:50, 26 Aug 2005 (UTC)

DDRfreak1: /* homestar saying "booooo" instead of "mooooo"? */

==Homestar's costume==

This article states that: "{Homestar Runner shuffles up on his knees. He's scribbled yellow marker on himself, attached some black thing to his head, and put black dots all on one side to look like The Cheat.}" Given that The Cheat is dressed as Homestar in the easter egg I can imagine there's some kind of co-operation there; basically I think it's a fairly baseless assumption to say that Homestar has dressed himself up when we don't actually see the act or any kind of authoritative reference to it, and The Cheat was obviously in on it.

Thoughts? --Goatboy

:You know, that's a good point. The description could be just as effective and concise without having to make that assumption. I'll adjust it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:25, 15 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Spike==
Coach Zed is reminiscent of Snoopy's brother Spike.

Yeah, that's what I thought. [[User:Nosmorking|No Smorking]] 21:33, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

== Marzipan: Ignorant? ==

I don't think Marzipan is as smart as was previously shown. She couldn't see through such an obvious disguise in the Easter Egg. It would seem Homestar and her are very alike... --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]]|[[User talk:acekirby13|My Talk]] 19:45, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
*I dunno... she couldn't tell that [[Homestar Jr.]] wasn't really talking. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:06, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
*I personally think that Marzipan only pictures herself as smarter than Homestar, in a similar fashion to how Strong Bad pictures himself as a cool ladies man. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 21:10, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
*I'm guessing Marzipan knew that it was The Cheat and just took advantage of the opportunity. Her and The Cheat have seemed to have had a thing for each other for a while anyway. -- [[User:Homeschool Winner|Homeschool Winner]] 01:56, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
** O_o If you say so... --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 01:57, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
*Don't forget about Tofu Homestar. She seems to like Homestar more when he's not really Homestar. :P -- '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]''''' 02:15, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
*Marzipan's none too bright, it seems. '_' --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]]|[[User talk:acekirby13|My Talk]] 22:32, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

== SCRAWNY ADDITIONS ==

Stop making scrawny additions like "running time: 4:23". I had the entire sbemail done and then it said "someone else has changed the page" and all that was changed was that you added "running time: 4:23"! Thanks a lot! --[[User:EMJS|''EMJS'']] [[User talk:EMJS|(Talk)]] 19:50, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

: It's just as well. I finished the draft anyway. And, as a note, your edit is at the bottom of the screen in an Edit Conflict and can be easily copy/pasted back. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 19:51, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

NOTE: Edit conflict; what a great way to make my point!
:Uh, you know that your text is on the bottom, right? You can easily copy the text from there, as I just did. Also, running time is an important factor, not a scrawny addition. Sorry you got cheated out of a transcript, but it's happened to others too. (Btw, sign your comment) --[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]]|[[User talk:acekirby13|My Talk]] 19:51, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

== My first addition to the Wiki (or to any Wiki for that matter) ==

I added a link to the forum thread. That is the only change I made. I hope I didn't screw anything up. On my first try, I took too long and got the "Someone else has edited this page" alert, so I cut-to-clipboard the link I added, backed out, and clicked edit again, and as fast as possible, added the link and clicked save.
- Jalexster (sorry, didn't know about not signing my comment. I'll get the hang of everything soon.)
: Cool. We all have to start somewhere. However - and I'm not trying to be rude - but this might be better served on your [[User:Jalexter|user page]]. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 20:29, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
:: Sorry. Should I delete my comment and move it? - Jalexster

== Possible Family Guy Reference ==

Last night's new Family Guy episode featured Peter swallowing nickels to get the world record. He also made the jangling noise with his belly. Would this possibly be a reference to Family Guy or is it to vague?
--[[User:24.27.135.88|24.27.135.88]] 21:16, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, there's a vote going on in STUFF about that right now. I certainly think it is, especially given that they've been known to make emails at the last minute and the timing seems too perfect to be a coincidence. From after I voted, 2 people (including myself) say yes and 1 person says no. [[User:unknownwarrior33|unknownwarrior33]] 21:18, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

I don't think its a reference, as the episode premiered on Sunday and the email premiered today...I don't think that TBC would have enough time to make such a reference, even if they cared. --[[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]][[User talk:Tony Stony|talk]]

I noticed this too and was completely weirded out. The Brothers Chaps often pull all-nighters getting their emails out, and this one came later in the day. I'm almost positive it was a reference. And I know this shouldn't be in here, but that was a great Family Guy episode! -- [[User:Homeschool Winner|Homeschool Winner]] 02:00, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

I was about to list this one. This premiered one day after that episode; whether it consciously influenced them or not, I think it is definitely behind that part of the email. --jbo

According to interviews and such, one of the longest it takes to make a sbemail is 3 or 5 days. They can make a sbemail pretty quickly these days... So it's quite possible. --[[User:StarWarsMonkey|StarWarsMonkey :-)]] 00:05, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

== 'School'? ==

There were two references in this email about SB and Homestar going to school together (possibly with Strong Mad). Has this ever been mentioned before, or is it just a random joke of some kind?

It has. Strong Sad was talking about how he went to school in Yellow Dello. Sign your posts.-Alice

He ate colored chalk in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]]. -H*R guyman.

== little hearts ==

When I first watched this email, there weren't any little hearts above Homestar's head when he said "Strong Bad, I think I'm falling for you." Did anyone else catch that?-Alice
: I saw it very shortly after it came out. Like within less than half an hour. As far as I know, the hearts were always there. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 19:46, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

: Same here. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:47, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

oops. my bad. -Alice

== Homestar: Gay? ==

From what he did in this email, Homestar seems like he's gay. Do you think he is?
-Kinsey
: I'm not sure that Strong Bad's imagination counts as canon. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 19:45, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

::EDIT CONFLICT'd!!! With Strong Bad cutting out like that, I don't think that part was real. -- '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]''''' 19:46, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

::Homestar "falls" for SB in "real-time", not as part of the do-over. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:51, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

::: Does he? Strong Bad immediately ends the whole thing and acts as though it never happened after Homestar falls for him. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 20:06, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

:::They go into the sequence in what seems like "reality". But they do come out of it as if he was imagining. Regardless, it's just a joke. Strong Bad's allure is so strong, everyone falls for him! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 20:16, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

:Regardless of whether it was imaginary or not, it seems like the joke is that Strong Bad was singing such a terrible song, and then a GUY fell in love with him. And without another reference to Homestar's sexuality, I wouldn't say that this constitutes as a fact. -- [[User:Lord Karkon|Lord Karkon]]

:sigh: Just becasue Homestar has the socio-cognitive developmental equiviency of a 10-year-old does not make him "Gay." (If I used to many big words for you, I just said that Homestar acts like a child).
Does this make him "Retarded?" Quite possibly, but not gay. He's just blissfully unaware of sexuality; much like your litle brother that giggles when you say a mildly naught word. Keep in mind the nature of his relationship with Marzipan. To sum him up, he's not just dim in "I've got a girfriend" department, he's dim to the point of fumbling around a lot and bumping into stuff (not just figuratively, I might add). Is it any wonder that Marzipan is mostly indiferent to his advances?
Be this as it may, I don't believe it's helpfull to put such labels on Homestar. Even if he were a flaming homosexual who advertised his homosexuality and organized daily Gay Pride marches in Strong Bad's living room* I really would't see the point in actively applying the "gay" label to him.

*Why there? Becasue he'd be gay but still Homestar. He's be Gaystar Runner. Or perhaps Homestar Gayer. Take your pick.

This concludes the mostly pointless but also mildly amusing "is he Gay" thread. You may now question your own sexuality if you like.

*Ok, Guys. I'm sorry if I offended anyone. In fact, I'll make you feel happier by saying '''Homestar is NOT GAY!!''' -Kinsey

**I think that the real answer is that '''Homestar is too stupid/innocent to have a sexual orientation at all.''' <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 23:56, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Casting Coach Zed==
No one seems to be able to agree on this. Should Coach Zed be in the cast list? I vote yes, BTW. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 20:06, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

No, I don't think so. He was probably just a one-time easter egg gag. --[[User:StarWarsMonkey|StarWarsMonkey :-)]] 00:08, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
: So what? He appeared so he should be in the cast list. I mean, we included Li'l Brudder in the cast list of [[crying]], did we not? And as far as we knew at the time, he was just a one-time gag, correct? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:13, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
:: Li'l Brudder plays a much bigger part in [[crying]] than Coach Zed does in [[do over]]. Also, without the easter egg drawing, Coach Zed isn't really a different person. I say leave him out of the cast list. --[[User:68.82.147.62|68.82.147.62]] 05:37, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

== "Attack of the Show"-ed? ==

This is probably stretching, but Strong Bad whacking Homestar with the keyboard could be considered a reference to the [http://www.g4tv.com/videos/index.html?video_key=9042 Homerowed sketch] found on [http://www.g4tv.com/aots Attack of the Show]. The show used to be [http://www.g4tv.com/screensavers/ The Screen Savers], which featured an interview of TBC: [[Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005]] --[http://www.madcrasher.com/main/index.php?module=about#e-mail madcrasher]

I just added a note pointing out that the whole "Zed" thing is a bit of a misconception, although technicly it is correct. If you look it up in a grammar/pronounciation guide, it's there. However, in reality it's not so simple. Due to the constant exposure to american media (tv, movies, print, etc.) you are less and less likely to hear a Canadian in Canada actualy pronounce the letter "Z" as "zed" now than you were thrity years ago. Since it seems that it takes about thirty years for the grammar & diction handbooks to get with the times, it's not surprising that you yanks think we canucks all say "Zed" all; the time up here in the great frozen igloo-factury that is Canada. (You just keep thinking we all live in igloos. Gives you less reason to want to invade us.) ;)

In fairness, sometimes I will still pronounce it "zed", especialy when it comes to spelling my nameout loud, (For those of you who weren't paying attention, I just told you that my name has one or more "z" in it.) I know it's still prevelent and has not died outr of useage. I'm just trying to point out that Canadians are not known to say "Zee" from time to time as well as "Zed". Ok?

Now, if you realy wanna get into a pronunciation debate, ask me how to pronounce "Saskatchewan" or "Toque" or "Poutine" (and no, the last one is not the name of the current Russian leader, bet rather an food item unique to Canada.) Or something harder if you really wanna get into it.
I'm all Canadian, all the time.

-Sarge

== Round ol red head? (or something similar) ==

Isn't the begginning of the serenade a reference to the King of town's description of Strong Bad in the Strong Bad in jail cartoon? -Carlo

I don't think so, but it is more evidence toward the theory that the wrestling mask is Strong Bad's head. -Alice

== Unrelated RWR ==
*Strongbad's denying that he has ever made any mistakes is a reference to George W. Bush's similar answer to that question during a press conference.
**''Found this in real world references. IMO, it's rediculously stretched, and hardly related at all, so i'll be removing it from the RWR for now. If there's any objections, take it to STUFF, k?'' [[User:EDY-innit|EDY-innit]] 23:52, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

== Possible goof ==

==Closed STUFF==
===Grammatically Incorrect (DECLINED)===

Right before Strong Bad talks about mistakes, he makes two grammatical mistakes. "Alright" is improper, as it is a misspelling of "all right". Additionally, "What would I do different?" is improper adjective/adverb use (should be "differently").
*<s>'''Accept''', yeah ok. makes sense to me</s> Actually, no. "Alright" is more or less an acceptable word. Besides, who says Strong Bad doesn't use slang? '''Decline'''-- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]][[User talk:Tony Stony|talk]]

*'''Decline''' Alright, is actually considered proper nowadays. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Accept first''' but '''Decline second''' The first one is good because it is incorrect and he uses it twice in the email, but the second one is the same thing that the sender emailed. And I dont think the part about "Right before Strong Bad talks about mistakes" is important either. I guess my vote should be a Rewrite, but I can't think of a good way to write it right now.
**Let's just leave it at '''Declined'''. While "alright" isn't accepted as proper English by everyone, it appears in the dictionary, and using "different" instead of "differently" is exactly the kind of subtle mocking of his fans that Strong Bad does all the time.[[User:Kyushu|Kyushu]]

=== Change of Pace (ACCEPTED) ===
Homestar eating coins might be a reference to the Family Guy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Guy) episode that aired the night before this email was released, in which Peter Griffin also ate coins and made a very similar jingling sound.

*'''Accept-erson''' I actually saw Family Guy the night before this email was released and I thought about it as a watched this email. And considering the fact that [[TBC]] make updates (in this case, the new email) late Sunday night or early Monday morning (usually), it is a possibility. I mean, TBC seem like the kinda funny dudes who watch those kind of shows, like me. 8-P [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]]

*Why do you people think that TBC would reference the show, considering that the majority of Homestarrunner.com does not contain references to other pop culture shows and their jokes, especially not to the extent of stealing a joke. (after all it seems that the joke was not so much a reference as a direct steal if it was)....
**To the person who didn't sign their name: Uh... let me see here, Cheat Commandos is a huge reference to G.I. Joe, which was part of pop culture and is still a well-known character/franchise, Bug In Mouth Disease alludes to Dallas, pizzaz makes a Seinfeld reference, montage makes a big Rocky reference. As such, I have to disagree when you say HSR makes no references to pop culture. Granted, some of the many are no longer in pop culture, and some are dated, but one cannot say that there are no pop culture references. [[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]] 01:55, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
***Sorry about that, I forgot to hit the ~s. Now I was not saying that Homestarrunner.com never makes pop culture references...There are dozens, as TBC are big into pop culture in general. All I am saying is that the examples listed above parody or make fun of or at least ellaborate on pop culture. Not so with the alleged Family Guy reference. That seems to be (a) Not anywhere near as obvious as the others and (b) pretty much the same joke that Family Guy used. I personally would assume that TBC would be original enough to make up their own jokes, not use others, and I think there is a large difference in referencing and stealing the entire joke.

**It's not a stolen joke or a borrowed one, it's a reference. Sort of like TBC saying "Hi, we like your show" --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]
*** If it IS based on FG, then it's a stolen joke, because they don't give any credit of any sort to the original - including SOLID references (like the type I've been asking for since my vote!). --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:29, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
**** Since when was did any of the referrences(anywhere on HR) get mentioned in the credits? --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]
***** You're taking the word too literally. I mean that the references make some mention that can easily be tied to something else that makes the reference (relatively) clear - the name of the character on the Halloween costume is revealed, an exact line of dialogue is replicated, the name of an establishment is thrown into conversation, etc. Where's the tie here? It's a similar joke that could stand on its own without Family Guy having ever used the same joke. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:06, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
***** For me it was the coins jingling inside homestar they way they did inside peter. --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]
****** But that's still just part of the similar joke that could easily stand on its own without FG having ever done the joke. It's not solid. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:21, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
******The point is we do have probable cause to believe this. I suppose it could be revised to say it was posted the day after a very similar joke on family guy aired, and that wether this was a wink at Seth Mcfarline, is unknown. That much is clearly true. --02:52, 23 May 2005 (UTC)~
******* We have just as much reason to accept this as "Get Back Loretta" and you Declined that. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:55, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
*******I obviously feel the reasoning provided is sufficient and much better than on that one, or I would have declined this one. I didn't however. --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]
*******The only "reasoning" supplied has just given weight to the argument that this is a coincidence. Once again, the fact that the toons aired so close to each other, the fact that TBC DO NOT rip off jokes directly from other people (instead using more subtle references like in the Halloween toons), and that the jokes are not identical only help to show that its a coincidence. Nobody has given reasoning beyond the close air date. THAT is why people are so opposed to this one. And to the person who said the coin jingling noises were similiar: Get a bunch of coins together. Jingle them. Sound familier? [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*******Apparently more are not opposed to it, then opposed. All you're argueing is "cus I said so". --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]
********And now you're once again resorting to petty insults. Way to give me another reason to see this fun "fact" die. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
* I vote against. Similar jokes, yes. But not enough to consider one a referance to the other. '''Decline''' --[[User:GG Crono|GG Crono]] 22:41, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
*This is getting sort of petty on both sides, but my firm stance is: if this was referring to anything other than Family Guy, it probably would already be Declined unanimously. This fact is EQUALLY as valid as dozens of other Declined facts. The arguments that have been provided are all circumstantial and probably coincidental: a similar joke that happened to be one day apart. The words "might be" in the fact (which ARE there) cause almost everyone on this Wiki to Decline it without even reading any further. No solid connections - NONE - have been provided. Okay, so they both involve eating coins and having them jingle. That doesn't automatically make it a reference, since no dialogue is reproduced and no names are mantioned. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:41, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
* And I'll say it one more time - it doesn't actually ''refer to'' Family Guy at all. If it IS based on Family Guy then it's nothing more than joke theft, and I'd like to think that The Bros. Chaps are above that sort of plagiarism. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:49, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
**Besides, (and this IS getting really petty), the way that Homestar made the sound of coins jangling is not similar enough to be called a reference to how Peter jangled. I mean, how many characters of cartoons have eaten change before anyway? How many have jangled in some sort afterwards as part of a joke? Even if this is a reference (which i highly doubt to be as such), what makes you think it was a Family Guy reference? If Homestar ate nickles, maybe. I like FG as much as the next guy, and I respect both the creators of FG and HSR to be original enough to not steal a joke from someone else. To me, this is starting to feel like that episode of South Park entitled "Simpsons Did it." Have we become Butters people? -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 22:19, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
*OK, I think this has been up for quite a while, and even though there is a lot of discussion, there are 15 Accepts and 6 Declines, so this looks like a winner.
** ''{At this point, Jay starts crying. Strong Bad puts away his Li'l Brudder drawing and walks away laughing.}'' How can the SAME PEOPLE declining "No la dee la dee la" accept this? It boggles my mind. There is no substance to this fact. It is "Family Guy did this, and Homestar did it too, and although there's no solid connection, it MUST be a reference" being accepted while "TBC are referencing THEMSELVES in something that contextually makes NO SENSE if it's not a reference and they reference themselves ALL THE FRIKKING TIME" being declined??? HAS THE WIKI GONE MAD?!?!?!?! ''{pant pant}'' Seriously needed to get that out of my system. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:37, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
**This is a very sad day for democracy. I can't believe that so many people believe that a connection exists just because two humor places did a similar joke at a similar time. Maybe this explains why so many believe in Nostradamus, fortune telling, <s>and god.</s> -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 18:04, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
*** I'm neither agreeing nor disagreeing with you (out loud) but watch what you type - some people can be VERY aggressive about defending their religion when comments like that are made (I'm not one of them, but I've met enough people who are.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:39, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

*'''Brraaap! Declinated'''. Comment on it if you like but you shouldn't say it's a "type of DELETED" because 1) It doesn't say DLETED!!, 2) It doesn't delete anything and 3) That's bad grammars.

*'''Decline''' It wasn't a DELETED, it was a 'do over', you can tell because Strong Bad re-does the email instead of just trashing it. [[User:The_Pardack|The Pardack]]
*'''Rewrite.''' I think the reason everybody's declining this is because it's poorly written and not very clear. Let me take a whack at it:

**Listen closely to the toon. "Undeleted! Undeleted! '''I didn't mean to do that!'''"

*'''Decline.''' To quote, "Well, while I've never actually made a mistake, there have been a few, let's call 'em "stnanks," that could be worthy of a do-over."

==IMMEDIATE contesting of an Accepted fact==

I'm not letting this die until the fact does. I'm invoking the little-used but perfectly valid power to CONTEST a bad fact that got accepted anyway. I refer, of course, to the Family Guy non-reference, AKA "Change of Pace" (see above). There is no reason to believe that it's a reference that can't be chalked up to pure coincidence, and if the "fact" is true, then it doesn't mean that there was any "homage" - it means that TBC are plagiarists, and I'd prefer to think of them as being better than that. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:55, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Although this sort of reminds me of Star Wars (so this is how democracy dies), I am with ya. But how would this work anyhow? -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 11:10, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:Good question. I'm not sure a Fun Fact has ever been seriously contested before. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:41, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Right on brudda! This is a stinky one! -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:04, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:I propose creating a rebel group devoted to fighting this evil menace. Or you know just bitching about it for a while until they see it our way. Whichever works. -- [[User:69.39.99.20|69.39.99.20]] 21:55, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:: Whoever you are, as I've stated about a dozen times, this fact is equally as "valid" as many other facts that were tossed straight out the window with unanimous declines. If this had been about almost anything besides Family Guy, it probably would have been thrown out the window with them. I am only trying to keep this Wiki loaded with GOOD facts. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:59, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:::Jay, I hate to be the pessimist in some respects, but I honestly don't think you will win this fight, no matter how nobel the cause. A lot of people like Family Guy so much that it blinds their ability to judge objectivly the validity of this so called fact. Of course, I'm right with you in fighting it, but all I'm saying is that it might not work out so well. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 22:09, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I say this with sincerity and in friendship: What, exactly, are you contesting? Do you want a recount? Okay, I see 16 accepts and 8 declines. Wasn't the process followed correctly? Everyone has had two full weeks to weigh in, and everybody got one vote. If you're just upset that the vote didn't go your way, then my friend, I am afraid I cannot help you. I must point out, however, that you're starting to sound like ''A Few Good Men'' ("Your honor, I object!" "Overruled!" "No, I ''strenuously'' object." "Oh, well, I guess I'd better reconsider.").<div style="text-indent: 2em">The vast majority of fun facts that are based on speculation get declined. Note that they don't get declined because they are necessarily incorrect; they simply do not have enough evidence to support them. (See [[Talk:dangeresque_3#Constantinople.3F_.28Declined.29|Constantinople]] for another example.) But just because you vote "decline" on something does not make it false. Short of TBC making some kind of announcement about this, there's ''no way'' you can be 100% sure that the accepts are wrong and the declines are right. As for me, I was ready to decline the fact, but I decided to watch the toon once more and see what I thought. After viewing it again, and ''considering the timing'', I decided that there was ''just enough'' there for it to be too coincidental to be a coincidence. (And, incidentally, my vote wasn't based on whether ''I'' like ''Family Guy'', but whether I thought TBC do.) I notice that you admit not having seen the episode in question. How, then, can you be so sure? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:45, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)</div>
::Dot com, I have seen the episode, and have been and still am a huge fan of Family Guy. The fact is that this being a reference means that TBC is ''stealing'' a joke. I just didnt consider TBC to be theives and to be original enough.
::Now, I agree. These arguments have been stated and restated millions of times. Saying them over and over again accomplishes nothing. All I am saying is that I think that this form of democracy is flawed. The majority of votes made were done so, IMHO, because the voter enjoys Family Guy. I agree that there is nothing that can be done. Democracy has spoken. I am just disapointed in the STUFF rules so that such a rediculous (again, in my opinion) "fact" can be accepted by such a large margin. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 00:03, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:::I am not a strong supporter of this fact (see my vote way above), I just ''lean'' toward accepting it. And I see your point, but I don't think TBC would consider it stealing. Or if they did, they might not care. Here's how I see it playing out: "Hey, Matt, Peter's eating nickels... that's funny!" "Yeah, Mike, we should have Homestar do something like that. I'll put it in the scene that I'm working on ''right now''." (Emphasis mine.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:21, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

They'd probably laugh me right out of their office, or basement, or wherever. But then at least ''we'd'' sleep better at night.

::: You could try asking your computer to print one. Just make sure you say "[[couch patch|please]]". Okay, seriously.
