Bozar's line
Can anyone understand the beginning of Bozar's line, before "Limo-losers"? It's currently blank. I think it ends in "-ice" or "-ise". --Jay 03:18, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)
- Wow. Nobody yet? --Jay 08:57, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)
- I've slowed it down and listened to it a lot but I don't think it's english, maybe another language or just plain gibberish. It sounds the most like 'Has a mit, kice'. Maybe he's talking about 'Mitch' or 'Dice' but I can't quite figure it out. --80.57.84.149 17:14, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)
- I put in indecipherable for now, if someone can make sense of it they can change it. --80.57.84.149 08:41, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)
- I just don't buy the line "I'm gonna make twice Limo-losers!" I changed it back to "unintelligible" and pointed folks to this discussion. Should this be STUFFed? -- tomstiff 15:24, 10 Mar 2005 (CST)
- I wonder is Bozar is saying something backwards (a la Strong Bad in rock opera) -- tomstiff 16:43, 10 Mar 2005 (CST)
- All I hear is "scuttle me twice, limo-losers" which makes just about as much sense as "has a mit, kice..." →evin290
- Uhm... I think I heard him say something like "Eat my lice, limo-losers" or something as such... I think it said lice, but i'm not sure about what came before that... I'm gonna go watch it again. ~Bii 10:34, 11 Mar 2005 (MST)
Alt Ock Band
Just a quickie, I believe that when They were talking bout an alt ock band with a female Bassist, short haired drummer and glasses wearing lead singer, it maybe a refrence to Sonice Youth, Juts and idea --tomstiff 21:25, 10 Mar 2005 (MST)
Other cartoon references
Is this email also a reference to that Saturday morning cartoon "Kidd Video"? I don't remember it super well but the evil reality upsetter guy from the SBEmail reminded me of "master blaster". http://www.kvflipside.org/characters/masterblaster.html --24.5.74.134 07:13, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)
Alternative Rock Band!
None hit all the qualifications, but what do you think of the alt-rock? I think the metal and alt-rock should've both stayed, and some of the good metal bands did stay around. --geoguy91 22:35, 8 Mar 2005 (CST)
Filename Breaking SBEmail Convention
Why was the comment about the filename breaking the sbemail naming convention removed? I think it should atleast be noted somewhere. -- IRbaboon 08:28, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)
Theme song
I'm fairly certain the song goes...
Well, they turned their tour bus into a space machine!
But they're still Limozeen!
Instead of "And they're still Limozeen!". --Billy Hologram 16:51, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)
- Yeah, that sounds pretty likely to me too. Except right after that it goes "but they're in space!" The repetition of the word "but" before both clauses seems like something one would want to avoid. Though when one thinks about it, it would still work. It's hard to tell; one would have to listen carefully and tell what was said exactly to be certain about it. --Ogog 18:49, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)
- Allright, I recorded it, timestretched it, and listened very carefully. :) I'm now 100% sure that it is "but" and not "and". Hence, I'm changing the transcript. --Billy Hologram 23:09, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)
Gary
When Gary says "I guess I won't be needing this anymore" he sounds suspiciously like Stinkoman! (Well, I guess it is hard to have so many characters and do an entirely unique voice for each of them, though Matt's done a good job so far.) →evin290 20:12, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)
- Further, Mitch Overlord is a deeper Strongbad, and when real Gary says "Weeeeeeellll..." he sounds like he's doing a Homsar. Not that these need to be put on the page, but that I agree that poor Matt is being overworked. --Buz 04:58, 11 Mar 2005 (MST)
Suge?
Hey, I wonder, could "Suge Brown" be a reference to Suge Knight? --Jeffrey G 14:32, 10 Mar 2005 (MST)
A reference to this, that, and the other thing
Example: "The fact that Limozeen's cartoon takes place in space for no good reason is likely a reference to several other cartoons which also took place in space for no reason, like..."
Is it really a "reference" when we say "This email is mocking a WHOLE FREAKING BUNCH OF INDEPENDENT SHOWS WITH LITTLE IN COMMON save whatever the joke is about"? I always thought that direct references were, you know, referring to ONE thing - maybe a few more if they're very closely related, but that's it. But "this, that, and the other thing" references feel almost like explaining jokes, instead of true references. It's getting WAY out of hand, especially since everyone then feels the need to add their favorite applicable show. And someone will surely whine or add it back if I remove all the Facts of this type. Is it just me? Does anyone else feel this way? --Jay 20:36, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)
