smells like dead what now?

can anyone tell what the last 2 words in the easter egg conversation are? -- Neumannz 06:29, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Danzut? That's the only thing I can think of, but I've never been to Turkey, so I don't know if it smells bad or not.

It sounds like "dead-zuh" to me. Or possibly "deadzert". You know, like "dessert", only dead. --DorianGray 06:38, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

I don't know why, but I heard "tion". like air condi"tion" pronounced shun.--Crudely Drawn Cupcake 13:16, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Ppice

How do we know it's a goof? Maybe Bubs ran out of r's. Don't forget the Conces5ion Stand. 121.209.148.49 07:59, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

It's clearly a cloth sign with the letters printed on. You can't "run out" in such an instance.

On the other hand, I do agree. Perhaps move it to Remarks if TBC don't fix it within a couple days. --DorianGray 08:02, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Maybe it was painted on. Maybe TBC deliberately did that and had Bubs "forget" the R's tail--Dollaroo 16:46, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

I thought the PP was connected to P^2. -132.183.140.243 17:25, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

I thought that too. — It's dot com 17:56, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

I, however, think that's kind of a reach. --Jay (Gobble) 18:44, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Not sure where to put this...

Strong Bad says himself, Homestar and Coach Z are all fully grown. SI.com!

Sounds like something that could be mentioned on Characters' Ages. --DorianGray 08:22, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Smoking Crayon

In the first scene, before Coach Z walks up, the crayon Strong Bad smokes (or pretends to smoke) is emitting smoke like a real cigaret. However, as soon as Strong Bad points out it's fake, there is no more smoke to be seen. Should this be noted as a goof, a trivia or just in the script? --Cass from Germany 09:52, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Furthermore, the crayon disappears altogether as the toon progresses even further. --DorianGray 09:54, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

The Sausage Race

The thing where the mascots run around the field seems to be a reference to the Miller Park (Milwaukee baseball) race where various hot dogs, sausages, etc. run a lap around the field. I'd put the reference up myself, but I don't have the time to look stuff up.

They have mascot races at just about every baseball park. free 12:06, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

the Bumbling Mascot Race Around The Field!

Anyone notice that strong bad doesn't close his face door thingie when they do the bumbling mascot race around the field?--Crudely Drawn Cupcake 13:21, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

I noticed that. Also that it changes sides whenever Strong Bad turns around so that it's always "upstage" to the viewer. And that the clown frill and tie had to be moved lower down when compared to its original appearence in part-time job so that the door thingie could fit. Don't know if any of these are quite worth mentioning on the page, though. --Belthazar 13:37, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Kid Quote.

After listening closely with my Skullcandy's on, I think the kid says "mommy, I can't see" 168.179.160.72 14:21, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

"Chase" Music

Just so there isn't a big debate over this... the song sung while the mascots run around the field ISN'T "Yakety Sax", the theme from Benny Hill. This is a piece of music called "Bond Street" (I believe?) composed by Burt Bacharach for the 1967 version of 'Casino Royale'. As I noted in my edit, this is the same music used for Stewie's "sexy parties". -Steve

Not even close. "Bond Street" does not sound like that; it has a slower tempo and sounds like an ersatz Bond theme (which, it is). The song in the short is clearly "Yakety Sax" (or attempt to recreate it there of). wbwolf (t | ed) 15:34, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

"Yakety Sax"

Sexy party clip Definitely not "Bond Street" wbwolf (t | ed) 15:46, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

The melody of the two is pretty close. But different enough to count. And "Bond Street" is not the song known for "silly" chases. It's clearly "Yakety Sax". --Jay (Gobble) 16:02, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

I don't really see the resemblance to Yakety Sax. I think I've heard something that went along with this toon somewhere in the Homstar Runner Universe, actually, but it's vague, and maybe it's not Homestar Runner-related at all. —Soiled Bargains ^(talk|ctrb) 21:15, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

I really don't see how there is an arguement over this. It is clearly meant to at least sound like Yakety Sax, seeing as how it is played when a bunch of characters are running around. Monkeytender 21:49, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

I definitely hear reference to "Yakety Sax" (i didn't know it was called that until today), especially in the second half of the first line and the first half of the second line. outside of that is a bit more vague, but since that is a random chase song, i think it was the intention. what really had me confused was why tbc were talking after the toon and after the easter egg. The Knights Who Say Ni 21:54, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

I've heard this song before, it's a -version- of Yakkety Sax that's actually noticeably different from the usual version, that tends to be used more in this setting. Compare the version heard in "Close-up animals with a wide-angle lens" from South Park. Really most of the notes are different, but it progresses so similarly.

Pickle?

Should we change the wording for the explanation of kimchi? I think the term "pickle" may confuse others into thinking that kimchi is a Korean cucumber even though it's actually pickled vegetables.--Dollaroo 16:30, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
