Since a lot of these references are not from the "real world", but from video games and such, wouldn't it be more appropriate to call this section "Outside References"? [[Special:Contributions/81.226.252.221|81.226.252.221]] 10:32, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Reaper cloak

Is it worth mentioning that the cloak that Strong Sad wears on the cover of "Doomy Tales of the Macabre is the same one as in "Experimental Film"? 24.218.166.107 04:13, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Buh-hubs.

A simple question: how should one word the Bubs RWRs? The Wiki strives to be family-friendly, while both his first line of the toon (regarding the brain in his afro) and his line in the Easter Egg refer to Pulp Fiction, both parts of which are...less than family-friendly. I thought perhaps it could read:

  • Bubs' line about brain in his afro and about his wallet are both references to scenes from Pulp Fiction.

and a content warning could (and should) be added to the end of the line, which I can't remember the Wiki format for at the moment. --Onamuji (b/w T. C.  ) 05:28, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

I don't think it is necessary to say what Jules says in Pulp fiction. That would be explaining the joke. I like the way it is worded currently I R F 12:40, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
That being said, would someone please be so kind as to explain the joke to me? I've...never actually...seen Pulp Fiction.but, a buttdanceNeox ONION BUBS!YOU WILL RESPECT MAH AUTHORI-TAH!!! 21:16, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
Try http://us.imdb.com/character/ch0001783/quotes and search for "wallet". -- Sentroyd 01:02, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

The Transcript

Sorry for not showing any progress, the wiki stopped working for me last night. This server does not really like taking any unusual load at all or something. --InsanityBringer 11:29, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Hey, what about Homsar's lines?

Check the easter eggs section for those --InsanityBringer 16:34, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Hand

I believe that hand is not the hand of the Onceler and actually the hand of the mom from Career Day. In fact, I am almost sure of it. Monkeytender 18:49, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Nope, it's not the same object, not shaped the same, nothing similar aside from being a hand. — Defender1031*Talk 18:56, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
Have you even tried comparing the two? They've both got the roundy bracelets and the extended fingernails. They're almost definitely the same. And it's definitely not The Onceler like the article is currently claiming. Monkeytender 19:02, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
I tend to agree, it looks like the hand was based on the Mom hand. Its definitely closer to that than to the Onceler. (Note, the Mom hand appears as the same object in career day and hygene.) -132.183.140.194 19:11, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
I agree. It looks very much like the mom's hand, and not particularly like the Onceler's.146.122.71.68 19:15, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Move-a

Should there be some mention that Strong Mad's Easter egg line is from "Money for Nothing?" Related to that, I would argue that move-a is a better spelling than moova (it refers to the fact that the character is moving refrigerators and moving color TVs).146.122.71.68 19:25, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

heck, it even says 'Move-a' on the costume discription page. I'll fix it. But, you don't always have to ask before putting something. be bold! StrongAwesome 20:01, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

How/Why?

Does STrong Bad say "How do you think..." or "why do you think..."? The latter makes more sense, but the former is what many people, including me partially, hear. Which is it?--Jellote wuz here 23:20, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

I don't think the concept makes much sense either way. But I hear "how". — It's dot com 01:16, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

I am only an anony, but I've watched this thing four times now, and I have heard why each time 69.81.183.110 02:55, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Reduce [an] overhead?

What exactly does that mean, and do we need an explanation on the page as to what it means? -Everybody! 01:49, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Eating The Cheat

In this video, Strong Bad claims that Strong Mad eats The Cheat all of the time. However, the email "narrator" refers to a movie supposedly called "I'm Surprised Strong Mad Hasn't Eaten The Cheat By Now". Would this be a continuity issue? --Hatkirby 02:55, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Possibly, although I'm not sure any of this actually "happened" or was just made up by Strong Sad. — It's dot com 03:15, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
We can also question the factuality of SB's line from narrator (after all, it was kind of thrown out there as the title of a movie for which we never even saw the trailer). I think all told, with both of these events being of uncertain factuality (even in-universe), there's no continuity issue. Heimstern Läufer 03:30, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

"Real-World" References

Since a lot of these references are not from the "real world", but from video games and such, wouldn't it be more appropriate to call this section "Outside References"? 81.226.252.221 10:32, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
