As regards The Kaiser, could this also be a reference to Kaiser Wilhelm II?

I don't think so. TBC just used The Kaiser as a title for a "kingly" person. Kaiser is (or was) a fairly common term for a ruler. It's not a reference. --acekirby13|^{My Talk} 23:42, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

Are we sure it's "flapper girls" and not "clever girls"? "Flapper" would be the obvious historical reference, but the word sounds more like "clever" to me, and "flapper girl" seems redundant - I've not researched this point, but I've always understood "flapper" stood on its own, without needing to be a modifier for "girl".

I listened to it really closely and it sounds like "flapper" to me. EDSMILDE

I always here "clever". Salty^Talk! 07:03, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure it's "glamour girls" 220.0.164.117 02:41, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

I also heard "clever girls", but how about Clabber Girls? Retromaniac 17:05, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

I've always heard "clever". I slowed it down in Audacity and I didn't detect any 'f' or 'p' sounds. It makes sense because in the 'old timey' era, clever was used more to mean good-natured/healthy/amiable and would be a fitting adjective for girls you'd want to get the affections of. 4.155.0.52 03:50, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

flying machine? I herd spying machine.

flying machine sounded like spying machine. anyone else agree?-- Benol, aka Coach B 07:38, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

it's flying machine. it makes sense because the homestar runner is injured, probably because he fell out of his flying machine. — _talk Bubsty _edits 19:46, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

I also heard spying machine. Retromaniac 02:55, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

DVD version

Why is it taking so long to get the commentary for the DVD? Gnome o' Fury 15:12, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Because there are many people in the transcript. I might take a go at it later today. Rogue Leader / (my talk) 15:14, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

The Fort-Wayne Locamotive

Does anyone else but me think he DID have a speaking role ? I heard him say 28 skidoo .. Other views ?

Jazz

I was wondering if the phonograph record blowing up in the Sneak's face relates to the anti-jazz cartoons that had slapstick accidents occurring to listeners of jazz. Retromaniac 02:55, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Smart or Short

I heard "He's small and short and yellow.", not "He's small and smart and yellow." Retromaniac 02:54, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

STORM monologue

Storm seems to be having a conversation with himself in the second transcript. Could someone fix that?
