Color Chameleon

Is it really necessary to note that his is the first time we see Bub's face a different color? i mean, we don't see any other characters' faces a different colour EVER, so is thiss really note-worthy? OpenSourceGreg 14:06, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

I don't really think it is noteworthy either. --TheYellowDart(t/c) 18:34, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Bubs Hums

I think that Bubs is actually humming the villain's theme from Inspector Gadget. That would bookend with Homestar humming the main theme from the show.

It was clearly Bubs that was humming at the end. He was the one sneaking away, and the voice sounded much more Bubs-like than Homestar-like. 129.64.175.10 17:19, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
The song Bubs was humming at the end is a standard "sneaking" song. It is not specific to anything in particular. Unfortunately, I haven't had much luck finding a link or title to the song (the only lead is "Mysterioso Pizzicato", as given in TV Tropes's "Standard Snippet" page, but I can't find a tune to go with that title.) --Jay v.2024 (Auld lang syne) 17:45, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
Found it! Here is a link to the MIDI file, but the link to the page that gives the title has a bracket and I don't know the workaround for that. --Jay v.2024 (Auld lang syne) 17:49, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
Excellent find. That's been bugging me all day, looking for the same thing. -- 17:52, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
Both this and the military drum riff Bubs hums on his way back to his post are references to old cartoons. I don't remember which toon it was, but when he storms off it was a reference to Bugs Bunny, who was temporarily foiled, responded with "Of course you know, this means war" and stomped off in the same posture to the tune of the drum thing.

Yeah, it's stock music. But the origin of the song he hums at the end (not the drum beat) is "Mysterioso Pizzicato". --Jay v.2024 (Auld lang syne) 18:08, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
I think that both Bubs' hum and Homestar's hum (when he's swabbing) have been used in Scooby Doo. -- 22:10, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

To me, Bubs' "drum" sound as he's marching to his stand strongly resembles the actual drum beat played in isp when Strong Bad is marching to his hand. The style between the scenes is also pretty similar - a silhouetted character marching to Bubs' stand from the left on a solidly shaded background. Can someone else corroborate my story?

Pain

Maybe someone should make a page about injuries to various characters. I'm sure we could fill it up. I'll even do it, if you think it would be worthwhile. OpenSourceGreg 15:46, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Yeah! That sounds Great! --PartyBrd20X6 20:30, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

hammerspace

Yeah, the KOT appears and disapears from hammerspace, but strong bad doesn't pull the F from it. He gets it off of the clipboard. — 71.60.212.62 (Talk | contribs) 15:40, 6 April 2009 (left unsigned)

Strong Bad is holding the clipboard in his left hand. he pulls the F paper out of hammerspace with his right hand, nowhere near the clipboard. The Knights Who Say Ni 21:29, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
I wouldn't say that the KoT comes from hammerspace, he just teleported.
Agreed, I wouldn't consider appearing in a cloud of smoke to be an instance of hammerspace.--76.248.84.243 23:59, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Grit?

I don't hear "great gumption" during the marketing bombardament. I hear "I've got grit, gumption, and etc..." - The Wrayth
