Editing Talk:Everybody to the Limit

A bit of sentimentality *tear*: This was the flash video that introduced me to the Homestar Runner website. And it rocks. Hard. :) --[[User:Southpaw018|Southpaw018]] 16:00, 12 Nov 2004 (MST)

# Almost every time there is a "Woo!" a pair of lips will appear, and when there is a clap, clapping hands pop up.

So what?  Clapping hands and "Woo!"-ing lips don't accompany ''most'' of the "Woo!"'s and claps.  But... did you know that Strong Bad appears most of the time you hear Strong Bad singing?

I'm getting rid of this.--[[User:69.143.244.79|69.143.244.79]] 21:31, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)

I think that they used Microsoft Zarvox for the Robot video.  They sound identical.  {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}

# On the MP3 version, The Robot's lazer dosn't play.

Usually sound effects in video clips aren't played in the actual song.  Thus, I don't think it's a goof.  Anyone who disagrees say Aye but till then it's going to be deleted. [[User:203.87.119.103|203.87.119.103]] 10:03, 12 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== This is my favorite ==

out of all the music videos

When The Cheat smiles in this video, the smile goes the correct way (curving upwards) unlike The Cheat's usual downward curving smile

== Chomping Whiffleball ==

One of the visuals in this video shows the whiffle ball chomping its way toward Strong Bad while he's running backwards along what looks like a street with tall buildings on either side.  This visual is very similar to an old Atari 2600 game named [http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html?SoftwareID=1419 Tunnel Runner], which featured pseudo-spherical munching monsters in a maze.

==WRONG!!!==

in the remarks it says that the lazer noise is being made even after the lazer is no longer shown.  this is because, scientifically, the light of the lazer would move faster than the sound.  so you would hear it after you saw it.- [[User:Jhonka|Jhonka]]

:Only if you're, like, miles away. I don't think 'scientifically' lasers go 'peow' either.

== More Commentary references. ==

I'm not even going to try and list them all. Can we get a dedicated wikier on this? Maybe like, It's dot Bubsty or Abdisuperthunda?--[[User:Robert Benedicio|Robert Benedicio]] 05:54, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
:Whoa. The genetic splicings you suggest are mind-boggling. (Kinda like in every Power Rangers episode where they fuse their powers and become one giant robot or something?) Anyway, I'll see what I can do. &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 06:28, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

== Rapper's Delight? ==

The song shares many similiraties with that of the song "Rapper's Delight". Perhaps it was done on purpose?
:Interesting, 172.213.210.225. I can't say for sure; you might be interested to know that similarities to another birth-of-rap song are currently being discussed over at [[Template:STUFF/Everybody to the Limit|STUFF/Everybody to the Limit]]. &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 05:55, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
::I was just watching a "50 Greatest One Hit Wonders" TV show late at night, and when they played the song "Rapper's Delight", I immediately thought of Everybody to the Limit. If my memory serves me well, there was a section where the rapper sings ''"To the hip, hop, hibbody-hop...."'', and I made a connection in my mind to this song, as it doesn't soud too dissimilar to when the line "To the fwqbghads..." is sung.
:::The line "To the Fhqwhgads..." is not in this song. And yes, the beat is a standard old-school groove; it is similar to a LOT of rap songs. As AbdiViklas noted, though, an even stronger similarity to an early rap hit is being discussed in STUFF, which kinda blows any similarity to "Rapper's Delight" out the window IMO. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 18:32, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
::::Okay... well, I guess my memory didn't serve me right. My mistake.

== "Only Time" ==

If you rejected [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/HRWiki:STUFF/Archive/looking_old this] and [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/HRWiki:STUFF/Archive/Strong_Bad_is_in_Jail_Cartoon] this], how can you keep that fact about this being the only time Strong Bad liked PBTC?  Do you hate me?  It's extremely unlikely opening credits will come back soon if it's been 3 years since the newest Big Toon to use them. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 15:04, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

:No &mdash; nobody hates you! I think that they're different types of facts. In the [[HRWiki:STUFF/Archive/Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon#Where Credit Is Due|DNA Evidence fact]], the people who voted on the STUFF item believed that the year 2007 was unrelated to the running gag, and so it shouldn't be noted. In this case, it's a significant trend that Strong Bad is reluctant to approve of The Cheat's animation. So, in my opinion, a major exception to that behavior is noteworthy. Some people may disagree with me, but that's just my point of view. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 15:08, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

-I have added a (slightly doubtful) addition to that part of the wiki, where it compares the chorus to "Ooops up side your head". This may get deleted. But I found it a good coincidence.

-In the [https://live.kickstarter.com/homestar-runner/live-stream/trogdor-playthrough-with-strong-bad-and-friends recent Kickstarter video], when the camera pans up (I noticed it at around 88:55), you can see what appears to be a couple of tapestries or posters in the background.  The top one has the two Kennedy brothers.  It looks to me like this is where the images for this video were pulled from.  It's probably not interesting enough to make a fun fact, but I figured I'd throw it out there on the talk page.--[[User:Bobo the King|Bobo the King]] 08:40, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
