[edit] This Old VCR

Strong Bad's exchange with Bubs is a takeoff of television home remodeling shows such as This Old House, where the host asks various team members what they are doing, why, and how.

VERDICT: This item was accepted, 19–8. The votes and arguments have been moved to HRWiki:STUFF/Archive/4 branches.

[edit] Seeing red

It is unlikely that The Homestar Runner would regard it as insulting to call the alien a Communist, as the perceived 1930's setting of the cartoon makes it incongruous with the general American resentment of Communism which began in the Cold War after World War II.

[edit] What Is That Stupid Reference?

When Strong Bad talks about the Great Leg and the Leg of Hope, he may be referring to the SNES RPG Secret of Mana. You can upgrade the Great Bow into the Bow of Hope. The leg of hope is also a lyric in the song Add It Up by the Violent Femmes.

Biz Cas Fri 3

[edit] 3 Gigabyte STUFF Attachment

It's likely that the 3GB attachment was the "Medi-a-lecrix Playa" and the video file, as most movies do not come in a .exe file, and a file of that length would have to be ridiculously lossless to warrant a 3GB file size.

candy product

rock opera

[edit] I don't not dislike not this fact

Strong Bad technically asked The Cheat to throw another rose at him. "Ixnay" in Pig Latin translates to "nix", meaning "cut it out" or "stop". Therefore, the whole phrase constituted a double negative meaning "continue throwing roses at me."

David Bowie is a famous English rock artist whose career has spanned from the '60s to the present. Tin Machine was a four-piece rock band he formed from 1989 to 1992. Ziggy Stardust was an androgynous character David Bowie invented and performed as for his classic 1972 album, Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. Thy Dungeonman rejects the "Tin Machine era" when David Bowie dressed in suits with a mustache and beard and prefers the Ziggy Stardust persona, who wore wild, Japan-influenced outfits and the wild red hair which Strong Sad wears in Halloween Fairstival.

[edit] Non-existent fact?

The presence of a random, non-existent "item" in the last slot of your inventory may have been inspired by the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy text adventure (Infocom, 1984). Through most of that game, your inventory contains the enigmatic "no tea". Unlike Thy Dungeonman, however, no tea is eventually replaced by tea, a major milestone in the game.
