YTMND

Is my fun fact on YTMND really unsuitable, I think it makes sense. Also should it be changed to the Wikipedia article? - Volbeat A The Cheat 10:08, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Don't think YTMND is unsuitable. Maybe put it in the Remarks section along with the Goof it's under? --Narwaffle 10:12, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I am more concerned with what to do with that link that other guy posted.

Transcript

Hope I did an okay job. *whew* That was fun! Bed now. — Bassbone (^{TALK CONT}) 10:11, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

• Be nice to see hyphens for the two-word modifiers, but you can't have everything. Good job. :)

Phone cord

As demonstrated in the shown image, there is a goof in the phone call scene. Can someone write something about it, beacuse I have writer's block. And no, it is NOT a reference to Dangeresque. - Volbeat A The Cheat 10:26, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

It IS a reference to Disconnected Phone. S. What ever. --Homfrog 11:05, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I gotta agree, i don't think it's a goof, i think they made a reference to cordless phone on purpose, kinda like an uninteractive easter egg maybe...

It's just a goof. It's not onscreen long enough to be noticed. TBC didn't notice that they didn't make the phone cord long enough, is all.— Bassbone (^{TALK CONT}) 11:18, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I aggree with Bassbone. It doesen't look like a reference. If it were it would actually look disconnected, not just a stub.

I think it's a reference to the cordless phone. remember on replacement?--DumDe 14:18, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I smell a vote coming. :D Democracy!

"Or" or "For"?

I thought Homestar said "account number for identity theft" rather than "or identity theft". Anyone else hear that? I don't want to change it in case it's just me. ModestlyHotGirl 15:27, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

• I heard "or." When I first heard it, I assumed it was Homestar pulling together a few phrases that he had heard in relation to giving out personal information in order to form what he though was an intelligent sentence (but which to the rest of us is a complete non sequitur.) It makes less sense from a sentence-structure standpoint, but more sense considering that we are, after all, dealing with Homestar.

Pasty white whatsit?

Are you sure SB's saying "bottom"? I'm not sure what he's saying, but it sounds like it starts with a W and has an S in it. --Jay (Gobble) 15:49, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

It sounds a bit like "whaffum", or perhaps "wawesome" (or "wassum"?). It certainly doesn't sound like "bottom" to me. --AshyRaccoon 15:59, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

As I put it in the first draft of the transcript, it's "boittom" or "bwahttom". Perhaps "Bwahthom."— Bassbone (^{TALK CONT}) 16:24, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Hilarity Ensues

I have a problem with the "Strong Bad's laughter comes from A Jorb Well Done" reference. Two instances of him simply laughing shouldn't be cross-referenced, and I don't don't think the similarity between the two was very strong. After watching the two files, they don't even sound remotely the same. If anything, his laughter would be a reference to crappy sit-coms (a la Brady Bunch) in which the final joke was seemingly gut-busting to the people onscreen so the show could end with a freeze-frame of everyone looking happy.

But they both are using Strong Bad's insane laughter to make a joke. - Joshua 17:08, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Those two instances of laughter a) come from completely different things, and b) sound absolutely nothing alike, so how on earth can the reference be that the laughter comes FROM "A Jorb Well Done"? The reference makes no sense.
