Falsely Accused

Um, some poor soul got WikiTrolled for adding "false" nicknames that were 100% genuine. The problem is that he slightly misattributed them - they weren't in kids' book per se, they were in Strumstar Hammer (the fake version of the original book.) --Jay 14:43, 16 Feb 2005 (MST)

My fault. I searched on kids' book and didn't see the nicknames, so I assumed it was a troll. I should've searched the names before I accused him. I'll remove him from WikiTroll and clean up all this mess. →[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

Yeah, it's okay. Enough troll edits will make you paranoid, I know. Just hope we didn't offend him. --Jay 16:37, 16 Feb 2005 (MST)

I doubt he even knew he was on WikiTroll (or even what WikiTroll is). →[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

I thought he might have been blocked, but that doesn't seem to be the case. --Jay 16:49, 16 Feb 2005 (MST)

Wrestle-name

Wasn't Homestar referring to Strong Mad when he talked about the 'two-bit wrestleman'? After all, he didn't know that Strong Bad was on Strong Badia's side before he saw him playing badminton. Thus, shouldn't 'two-bit wrestleman' be listed as a Strong Mad nickname, but 'Wrestleman' be listed as a Strong Bad nickname?

From the transcript of army:

{scene changes to The Stick}

HOMESTAR RUNNER: Are you sick and tired of playing second-fiddle to a two bit wrestle man and his yellow dog?

CROWD: YEAH!

I think Homestar is talking about Strong Bad and The Cheat here. I don't think Homestar refers to Strong Mad at all in the email. From reading the rest of Homestar's speech, it would seem he is referring to other things that either Strong Bad has done or Strong Bad has.

So as of right now, the nicknames listed are correct in this respect. -- Tom 13:52, 19 Feb 2005 (MST)

Meatball Face Butt

• Meatball Face Butt (Strong Bad, dangeresque 3)

I removed this because Meatball Face Butt isn't technically attributed by Strong Bad to Homestar. It's given by Dangeresque to Dangeresque. --Upsilon 05:45, 30 Mar 2005 (MST)

An Ogre

• an ogre (Marzipan, dreamail)

Surely this doesn't count as a nickname? --Upsilon 06:02, 30 Mar 2005 (MST)

One character = another?

Does it count when one character (usually Homestar) refers to another character with a third character's name - ie. when Homestar calls Strong Bad "Strong Sad" in caper, or when he calls Strong Bad "Pom Pom" in the facts? --Jay 22:59, 8 Apr 2005 (MDT)

Homsar calls himself

Should the names that Homsar calls himself really be included? --Gafaddict 20:41, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

We counted it when Homestar called himself "Batman", or when Strong Bad called himself Stark Dålig. So why not? --Jay 20:48, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Stupid baby brother

• My stupid baby brother (Strong Bad, different town)

I removed this because of its being a direct description of Strong Sad's person (in Strong Bad's point of view, mind you), not a different name for him, nor is it being used as such. Suicune64 01:18, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Already taken care of?

Is it just me, or does all of this info already exist on the character pages (also known as...)? Is a completely seperate page necessary to this wiki anyway? -- Tony Stony 02:30, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It's just you :) Seriously, though, you're right that there is overlap, but the a.k.a. sections on character pages also include alternate incarnations (such as Dr. Christmas for Bubs) that aren't nicknames. The nickname page is just kinda fun by itself, I don't know why. Eric 12:21, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Dapper Swindler

Do you think that The Dapper Swindler should also be included here? 84.10.229.242 09:29, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I was going to say no, because I'm pretty sure it's The Sneak's only nickname, but Balding Man, Visor Robot and others are listed with only one, so... Yeah, I think it should be included (though I'd wait for others to second this before adding it). -Polly 09:48, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Seconded and added. -- tomstiff 13:00, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Dangeresque character names- nicknames?

Okay, let me ask this once and for all, so I can get my confusion cleared up here: can the Dangeresque character names be considered nicknames? --ISlayedTheKerrek 04:14, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I would say no because they're characters in movies that Strong Bad made. They're fictional characters, but saying these are nicknames is kind of like calling actors by the names of characters they've played. SparkPlug 06:08, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Low and No

Strong Sad calls his brothers 'Low-brow' and 'No-brow' in his latest blog entry to these count as nicknames from Strong Mad and Strong Bad? The Pardack

Sounds logical. If you can figure out which Strong is Low-Brow and which one is No-Brow I'd say go for it.

Strong Bad's no-brow, because he has no brows... I think. - Joshua

Also, "lowbrow" = "unintellectual"; that fits Strong Mad, I think. — It's dot com 20:09, 2 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Yeah but brow also means forehead, Strong Bad could be low brow since he's not exactly 'cultured' and Strong Mad could be no brow since he has no forehead. I'm just throwing this out there as a possibility. The Pardack

Eh! Greg

I think there's some disagreement here. I'm pretty sure that SB's 'Eh! Greg' was him forgetting Eh! Steve's name, not making Eh! Steve adress Prime Time. - Kookykman(t)(c)(r)

I took it not as SB forgetting, but agreeing that this creation was very much like Eh! Steve, but not the same; hence he would need a similar but not-the-same name. —AbdiViklas 21:41, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

But is the name given to his drawing of Eh! Steve or Ready for Prime Time? That's what would determine where the nickname would go. - Kookykman(t)(c)(r)

Ready for Prime Time. You could argue that its name is Eh! Greg, but certainly not Eh! Steve. —AbdiViklas 21:52, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Mustachioed Homestar Runner

How do we know that the Mustachioed Homestar Runner is nicknamed "Fabrosi" in lady...ing? Yes, the person who "sent" in the old email was called Fabrosi but just because M.H.R. followed Strong Bad's advice doesn't mean that he sent in the email. I don't see a strong enough link for this one. – The Chort 17:17, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
