Yiddish?

Is it just me, or is the name "Jorge" pronounced to sound Yiddish?

Sneaking

Do you guys think this explains why Strong Bad claimed he saw Coach Z come out Marzipan's house in the Yello Dello DVD? Or do you think Strong Bad was lying again? - T.C.

  • It could just be two similar instances - Coach Z's just like that. --Jay (Talk) 06:37, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
  • So does that mean you find this picture funny? - T.C. -->
    "I assure you, I do not sneak over to your house!"

I'll bet Coach Z sneaks into her house all the time just to be in there and look around.

I bet he "looks around". ;) --Technochocolate 23:31, 26 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Triplecast

seeing as how this came out the december before 2004, could it be said in the "real world references" that the "olympic triplecast" that strong bad reccomends is in refernce to the triple coverage found on NBC, CNBC, and MSNBC during the 2004 athens olympics? - i know. can you believe it?

Three steps

Is it me, or does Homestar take two steps when he walks into the camera, and we hear three?

Tape-switching

I--um--I was a little surprised not to find controversial comparisons to other movies/tv shows/etc. that have used the "regret what I said, must switch the answering machine tape" plot line. I can't think of any at the moment other than that Seinfeld one. This is exactly the sort of inane debate I'd hate to start, but--is it possible that's the only such plot, making this a fairly likely reference? --notstrongorbad 06:06, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Actually, I didn't think of that until you just said it (and I call myself the big Seinfeld expert)... But I think the similarities are there. We've referenced Seinfeld in past cartoons, and they seemed to be quite a bit more obscure. But I think you have the good point there. --DorianGray
The problem with your theory is that this entire feature revolves completely around the answering machine. Eventually, someone was gonna tamper with it. Plus, the differences in the plots between v9.2 and the Seinfeld episode are enough for me to chalk it up to coincidence (or, possibly, remotely inspired by, but not a reference). — It's dot com 06:41, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)
Also, the phenomenon of Answering Machine Regret is so common I would have thought there would be other non-HR instances. But like I said, I can't think of any. (Incidentally, I have a friend who proposed to his current wife via a cell phone message, using Homestar's wording.) --notstrongorbad 06:52, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Comment

If you record and playback Homestars "backwards sounds" in reverse its still just jibberish. There is no secret message nor is it what homestar actually said in reverse.

Collector's plates

Is it just me, or is "Oh, and you can keep the collector's plates!" a reference to some cartoon? Yeah, I can't remember its name, but I'll guess Futurama.—S*R 04:16, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

I thought of The King of Town DVD title page. Sbmaniac 11:09, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
