Does the 3D work?

Does anyone know if the 3D parts of this actually work with 3D glasses? -65.27.70.55 19:19, 11 Dec 2004 (MST)

The parts do work, just not well.

Obviously this has been brought up before. I just deleted two conflicting facts. One said the 3D works, the other said it doesn't. What's the scoop? — It's dot com 04:01, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I once tried with a red/blue pair of 3D glasses cut out from a Fruit by the Foot box. The blue did not get meshed properly with the glasses, so the illusion failed. Maybe my monitor was too bright. Who knows... it may work for some but may not work for others. —BazookaJoe 04:05, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I tried it both normal and with the colors reversed. The results were inconclusive. Complicating matters is the fact that my left eye isn't 20/20 but my right eye is, so my depth perception on stuff like that isn't reliable. (That means I can't see those computer-generated 3D posters where the image suddenly jumps out at you.) — It's dot com 04:08, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Going into too much detail to be put in a fun fact (I seem to have a habit of this...):

1. To see the effect correctly, you should see the red line in the left eye, and the blue line in the right eye.
   • Except of course for Strong Bad's reflection in the screen, which is reversed, like I said in the Goof in the article (which will probably have to be rewritten too, now...)
2. Because they are on a white background, this means that the blue filter should be on the left eye and the red filter on the right eye.
3. Most anaglyphic glasses have the red lens on the left, hence the "wrong way around" comment (which I admittedly didn't notice - I'm used to dealing with coloured-lines-on-black rather than on white, so the effect is reversed).
4. The blue lines are not a good shade of blue, and will be visible in both lenses, regardless of the quality of the glasses (though they will be less prominent in the blue lens). This makes it hard to see the effect.

For the second point, consider, say, the red lens. Through this, the red line will appear red, and the blue line will appear black. Also, the white background will appear red, therefore only the blue line will be visible. Similarly for the blue lens, except in this case the blue line and the white background will be seen as a slightly different shade of blue through the lens, hence the fourth point. --phlip ^T_C 06:19, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Google search for lesser wimps. How cool is that? Seriously. -- Tom 10:52, 29 Dec 2004 (MST)

Big wusses and lesser wimps (Declined)

If it is true, that "Only big wusses and lesser wimps use stunt doubles.", then Strong bad is a big wuss and a lesser wimp, because it is obvious that Strong Sad is the stunt double. This is quite contrary to most of his comments across the site. Such as, on the "First time here?" page, he says, and I quote, "Check me out, no, seriously check me out."
