::::::Darth, none of H*R was ever meant to be analysed. That doesn't mean we can't do it. And I doubt that the repetition was unintentional: each time, the context is very similar (Homestar unwisely spending money on things).

Frivolous Spending
I bet this page could be modified & expanded to include all instances of Homestar Runner wasting his money. I'm far too lazy to count them all right now, but examples that stick in my head are buying four ("three for $300") wireless extension cords in technology, and his tax return from Arcade Game. After all, what's funny about the running gag (to me, anyway) is not the catch phrase, but the insane ways in which he drops cash. -- Mayosolo 02:45, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
- Write a brief article, research some more and maybe we'll marge the two together. Go for it. — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 08:48, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

This article has got to go. — Darth Katana X ( )
- It's a major stretch just to write an article on it. Homestar barely talks about his money and it's just littering the wiki. Let's do some spring cleaning. — Darth Katana X ( )
Keep. It's a bona fide inside joke / running gag. It happened 3 times over the course of 6 months, from Nov 2003 to May 2004. I guess you had to be there to appreciate it. This was actually one of the first (20) pages that I stumbled upon when I discovered the wiki, and I was delighted to see it documented. —BazookaJoe 05:20, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. — It's dot com 05:17, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. -- Tom 05:19, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. --DorianGray
- Keep and maybe expand as noted above. — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 10:21, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
