Revision as of 21:15, 28 April 2009
BMW Lighter is a featured article, which means it showcases an important part of the Homestar Runner body of work and/or highlights the fine work of this wiki. We also might just think it's cool. If you see a way this page can be updated or improved without compromising previous work, feel free to contribute. |

Real Lighter
I found a real lighter on Ebay, so I'm not sure what "no physical counterpart" means. - Dr Haggis - Talk 20:19, 26 Feb 2005 (MST)
- Update: A quick search on eBay yields about 90 auctions for a BMW lighter currently. I wonder how many of these auctions would not even exist if it weren't for Homestar Runner? —THE PAPER PREEEOW 18:39, 12 Aug 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, I actually bought one of these after Drhaggis brought it to my attention in February. I got one of the ones that looks like Strong Bad's and my plan was to take a photo for this page. The thing is pretty much just a silver colored Zippo ripoff with a BMW logo glued on it. I still want to take a photo, but I'd have to find the thing first. I thought I knew where it was, but I can't find it. Hmm. -- Tom 20:33, 12 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Image Overuse?
Are all these images really nessecary? Why not something like this or this? I think that the debut and CGI images are enough for this page. - Joshua 00:30, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
- Oh, my goodness, seconded! That's a long freakin' page for a 2"-square object! —AbdiViklas 01:10, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
- The article is like this because back when it was started, there were only three appearances. I don't have a problem with the images. If you don't like the layout, we could probably but them in a nice gallery. -- Tom 01:53, 28 November 2005 (UTC)
I think that if it has a lot of appearances (like somewhere 1round 12 or 13) we should take some of the images away, just because it would be too long. I like it this way. --SaltyTalk! 01:34, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
- It has nine images. That is too many. Most pages like this have only one image, two max. - Joshua 01:40, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
- I've put the images in a gallery. -- Tom 04:54, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
- Still a little bit unnessecary, expecially with the text sighting (which has an actual sighting in the same email). But I'm not going to fight to get rid of it. Now I just gotta get enough free time to make the appearances in a format similar to this page's. - Joshua 04:57, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
- That improves the aesthetics of the page immensely. —AbdiViklas 05:29, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Nah. If anything, The first appearance of the BMW lighter should be in there too. The BMW lighter is a specific object, unlike duct tape. -RadSkat3 18:56, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- The first appearance is in the thumbnail image at the top of the page. -- Tom 22:23, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
To revisit this discussion, do we really need the entire gallery of pictures? I think a couple of the lighter, plus the two variations (say, like, 5 pics total) would be sufficient. Maybe one more of the unmarked SBG4AP lighter. Barring that, the captions on the current gallery are pretty lame. Are there any alternatives? -170.223.0.54 21:15, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
SAAB lighter
so, should homestar's lighter be a separate page? i think it should. i mean, the saab lighter might appear again, and when it does, we should be prepared. Seriously 00:09, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
- Well, for now, the SAAB lighter has only appeared once, and if it does, maybe we should consider changing the article to just "Lighters" instead. — Has Matt? (talk) 00:25, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
- I agree with Has Matt? I think Marzipan would have a VW lighter, and Pom Pom strikes me as a Volvo lighter-type. LOL--Jnelson09 00:22, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
Duplo Lighter
Lil' Strong Bad is shown at one time with a Duplo lighter. Duplo is a line of building blocks designed by the LEGO company for infants. Does anyone else feel this is worthy of mention? Sonichu
Both sides?
Further to this edit, I was incorrect to say that it is speculation to assume the logo is on both sides. This is proof that that assumption is just flat-out wrong. — Defender1031*Talk 09:23, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
