Now I have to pay to watch Homestar Runner? D*** you TBC, You smart devils you! --67.180.104.181 06:21, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)

Uuuh, you do know this is an april fools joke? Or were you being sarcastic? --Futuramaooy 07:45, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
I didn't think that a PREMIUM Homestar Runner was possible. Unless TBC has been holding out on us... Why am I up so early? -- Vooki -- 05:00, 1 Apr 2005 (EST)
The real April Fool's prank: this isn't a joke. This is the REAL THING, people! --Ogog 10:14, 1 Apr '05

Great going building building that in such a hurry

Same content! New yearly price! MORE BANNER ADS! How could we lose? I'm definitely subscribing! It's definitely worth it. I loved the seven second trial. -- nintendorulez 15:03, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
I looked at it, and thought "what the f-" until I realized it was an April Fool's Joke. I typed in the URL for the 1st main page, and got through and celebrated by watching SB Email #1. :P But anyway, The Chapman Brothers almost had me going! --Homsar999 16:51, 1 Apr 2005 (CST)
I was looking forward to something interesting happening on H*R for April Fools Day all week, so I was prepared. :) --Joshua 16:24, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)

Webcam Conversation

The Webcam Conversation with the creators/someone else reminds me of the interview TBC had on The Screensavers. --Gafaddict 01:56, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)

P2W

TBC could be looking to make money now because on one of their TSS's interviews they started being funny about trying to make money off the site now and how rich they are.

They DO make money off the site. What, do you think they just give away that merchandise? -Clever Ben

Background Tile?

Where in PAY PLUS is the background tile [1] used? It's obviously somewhere in PAY PLUS, but I can't find where it is in the toon/EXCITING SUBSCRIPTION OPPURTUNITY!/feature. --Venusy 22:56, 1 Apr 2005 (BST)

I can't find it either. -- nintendorulez 15:03, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)

That answer anything? --Shadow Hog 20:05, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)

Homestar Invaders

Is anyone able to beat this in 7 seconds? I got really, REALLY close... as in, my final shot was pixels away from the final guy. I wonder what happens when you win?

Although I haven't beaten it before, people who have say that the wave just resets; nothing interesting. --Joshua 20:39, 9 Apr 2005 (MDT)

Closed Fun Facts

Trial Game origin

The trial game is based upon the Scrolling Shooter Games Menu - the trial game's Flash file contains graphics and sounds used on the Games menu but not in the trial game.

  • Decline. It's a reference to Space Invaders. --Trogga 16:03, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
    • Ooops, yeah, I was rather vague there, wasn't I? I didn't mean the style of game, I meant the actual nuts and bolts of the thing. The 'engine', as it were. I know such recycling would be relevant if it caused a bug or something else really obvious, like the VCR in SBEmail114 "The Facts" did, but this is harmless, so I wanted a judgement on it. The Archon 18:13, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
  • Decline It actually uses code from the games menu and Armless Invaders. But who expects them to code a new game just for an April Fools gag? Donny vs Universe
    • Second. While I disagree that they wouldn't code a new game just for an April Fools' gag, I do agree that this fact is unnecessary and somewhat inaccurate. --TheEggman 17:59, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)

Whats Her Face's lack of appearance

For whatever reason, Whats her face was shown on the 4th page, but not at all in the "trial" TGS cartoon.

  • Decline Noted in the transcript, and it's hardly an interesting remark regardless of such. Suicune64 07:57, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)
  • Accept It's certainly worth noting, and I didn't notice it the first time around. Keep it. little-man 14:09, 3 Apr 2005 (EST)
  • Decline. Since there IS no reason for her absence, there's no reason to mention it. It's not necessary. --TheEggman 18:01, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)
    • Second And who knows how far into the preview the clip was? She may have already been killed off. Donny vs Universe
    • Second --Jay 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
    • Second --tomstiff 07 Apr 2005
    • Seconding the second second? SP'd

Special Appearance (declined)

Mr. Shmallow can just barely be seen in the fourth screen of the 'toon.

  • Da Cline Then add him to the list of cast members. This isn't a fun fact. Rudeboy87 14:45, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
    • Second. tomstiff 01 Apr 2005
    • Second --Jay 03:21, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
  • Which toon is this? Seven Seconds? Trap Door? Wheelchair Kid? --VolatileChemical 16:22, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
    • None - it means, the fourth screen of the subscription notice. --Jay 17:51, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
  • Oh, thanks. I thought he meant "fourth frame" of the 'toon. --VolatileChemical 15:53, 6 Apr 2005 (MDT)

Lil John (declined)

On the third page, the line "GEE-AMES!" may be a reference to Lil John from Lil John and the East Side Boyz.

  • Rewrite Uh huh... so HOW and WHY is it a reference to Lil John? If you can prove this, then it can be accepted. Rudeboy87 11:01, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
    • Response I think he means how Lil' Jon says stuff like "YEE-AAAH!" The Jolly Dumple 4:17 PM, 1 Apr 2005 (EST)
    • Response Well, then, the person who wrote this fun fact should have said that. Keep in mind, however, that almost every rapper in existence says stuff like that. Rudeboy87 14:42, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
  • Neutral, unless Jolly Dumple is right. If he is, then Decline. --Joshua 15:56, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)
  • Decline. tomstiff 01 Apr 2005
    • Second Seriously, dump any fact that relies on phrases like "might be". Especially if its about TBC referring to something obscure. Donny vs Universe
      • Third. I'm agreeing with you on this one - these "might be" references are way too numerous, and in most cases, they're opinions. Hell, even the phrase "might be" is subjective to begin with. I propose an automatic deletion to any Fun Fact that uses this phrase. --TheEggman 17:56, 4 Apr 2005 (MDT)
        • FOURTH'D! NFITC1
          • ARROW'D... I mean, FIFTH'D Dasrik 02:50, 5 Apr 2005 (MDT)
          • Comment. I have this matter in a poll over on the forums - please go vote so we can reach a consensus on what to do with these kinds of items. Never mind - some admin locked it, even though the other current poll doesn't deal with the issue at hand. --TheEggman
