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.

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. You would have to start cross-referencing anything that was even remotely similar if you accept this as precedent. Every time Homestar falls down? Every time Pom Pom laughs?

If it's not an actual reference, then it doesn't belong on this page. If it's the exact sound clip then it should go on Sound Effects, though. — It's dot com 19:10, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, it's laughter, seriously, it happens on a reqular basis, whats next, "Hey, he's walking, lets put that in the wiki!"

Hampster [sic] Dance?

Didn't see a Fun Stuff link, so I'll post it here. I thought the "break-dancing rodent" might be a reference to the (annoying) Internet meme, The Hampster Dance. Both include animated gifs of a dancing rodent. I'm not positive on this one, but it's the first thing that came to mind when the rodent started not-really-break-dancing on the Lappy. - Totoro 18:05, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't think so. The first thing that came to my mind was the little animated mouse GIF on Strong Bad's Website ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 18:21, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Not so Magical

That "this is where the magic happens" line in the real-world references HAD to come out. That phrase has been around for decades. It did not originate with Cribs.

Is this worth mentioning?

This is the shortest Strong Bad Email name to date, with only three letters.

I think it's cool, but I'm a nerd. What do you think?--Jnelson09 18:59, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Seems kind of obvious to me, anybody who would find that kind of thing interesting would probably already know. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 19:01, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Eh, maybe because I'm a nerd too, I don't see a problem with it. --Jay (Gobble) 19:05, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

It is also patently false. ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 19:24, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, 12:00 doesn't have any letters, just numbers. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 19:52, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Wired Pom Pom?

Regarding the comment in Remarks about other characters have Internet access: I need some clarification for my own edification. Pom Pom can obviously check his email through his PDA, but do Palm users need to subscribe to an online service in order to do this, or is it just tacked onto the monthly bill as an add-on, as would happen with someone checking their email through their cell phone?
