Whoa, somebody beat me to making the page? Perposterous! But anyways, methinks we got a new record for trailers with hidden words being found. Here it is this year (with an image).

I'll bet you guys it's because he's going as the monster from Pan's Labyrinth and he's holding his hands in front of his face. The fingers look really similar and he's exactly the kind of weirdo to dress up as that. [[User:Norwayspruce|Norwayspruce]] 17:41, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Homestar's line about "peepin' 'round y'all's neighborhood" has got to be a reference to Vincent Price's line in "Thriller."  http://youtu.be/sOnqjkJTMaA?t=6m30s Anybody else think so? {{unsigned|Maristredfox|18:39, 24 October 2014 (UTC)}}

:So the "Thriller" line is "To terrorize y'all's neighborhood", which ''is'' pretty similar, especially when taken with the Halloween context. As for a deliberate reference, I don't know. "Thriller" didn't spring to mind before you mentioned it, and Homestar is dressed as a neighborhood watch sign, so his using the word ''neighborhood'' isn't out of place here.

"Hidden Words"

"Rather literal, Dan."

DeVry?

Can someone explain what that' supposed to be? Is it an American thing? And how is it linked to what happened in da toon? Guybrush20X6 08:44, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

DeVry University is a higher-learning institution in Illinois. Likely not related to the toon. DEI DAT VMdatvm center\super contra 09:13, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

Stickly Man With a Stick

Is Stickly Man really digging with a shovel? It looks just like a stick to me. When he throws it up in the air, you can see that there is no shovel head. Should the transcript be changed to "digging with a stick"? Or should we all accept that, on road signs, a shovel can be represented by a mere line with no shovel head? --MenacingBanjo 11:14, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

"Thriller" reference?

Homestar's line about "peepin' 'round y'all's neighborhood" has got to be a reference to Vincent Price's line in "Thriller." http://youtu.be/sOnqjkJTMaA?t=6m30s Anybody else think so? — Maristredfox (Talk | contribs) 18:39, 24 October 2014 (UTC) (left unsigned)

So the "Thriller" line is "To terrorize y'all's neighborhood", which is pretty similar, especially when taken with the Halloween context. As for a deliberate reference, I don't know. "Thriller" didn't spring to mind before you mentioned it, and Homestar is dressed as a neighborhood watch sign, so his using the word neighborhood isn't out of place here. I lean toward coincidence, but only barely. — It's dot com 19:46, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
