Limits?

Is there any outro we can't add to this page? I find the ones from 2 years, lady fan, alternate universe, theme song, cliffhangers, and retirement would be questionable for some reason. Bad Bad Guy 00:50, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Move along, move along

How many of you would say this is ready to go from "section stub" to "incomplete list?" I'm going for a consencus-type discussion here. Bad Bad Guy 01:10, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Wait... why is this an incomplete list? Isn't everything in the list that can be? — It's dot com 17:56, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Some of them aren't on there yet. (4 for example) — Defender1031*Talk 17:57, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

No, homestar hair isn't on there because there isn't a sign-off. ... unless "Forget you guys" counts. — It's dot com 17:59, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

and 9-12? and 17-19? 22? 25-26? need i go on? — Defender1031*Talk 18:02, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Um, yes, I think you do. In every one of those examples (except 19, which is already in the list), Strong Bad doesn't address the viewer at the end. — It's dot com 18:25, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Then I guess you're right. — Defender1031*Talk 18:28, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Outro?

The name sounds terribly slang-like. Isn't there a more objective term? - Joshua 01:19, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

"Closings?" "Farewells?" "Send-offs?" That's the best I can come up with for now. Anything to say about my other two messages? Bad Bad Guy 02:02, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Strong Bad Email Send-offs is the 1 I like best out of those 3. Bad Bad Guy 18:47, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I never did like the word "outro"... --DorianGray 19:11, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

"Foam" isn't a very good word either. Blegh. Anyway, I like Strong Bad Email Send-offs myself. -Brightstar Shiner 19:22, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

The reason I didn't move it is because it might imply a relation to Strong Bad Email Spin-offs. Bad Bad Guy 00:37, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

If Strong Bad Email Send-offs is really the best we can come up with, someone needs to assure me it won't imply a nonexistent relation to the spin-off thing. Bad Bad Guy 20:12, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I like Strong Bad Email Closing Statements. — Defender1031*Talk 20:14, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Sounds too broad for me. Like we'd also include some where he does nothing special. Bad Bad Guy 17:14, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

How about Strong Bad Email Closing Endings then? — Defender1031*Talk 17:17, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I don't think these are "sendoffs" (which is one word, by the way)... I think they're "sign-offs". — It's dot com 17:53, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but that doesn't solve the spin-off problem because it still begins with "s" and ends in "off." Bad Bad Guy 23:36, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

What problem? Because the look and sound similar? — Defender1031*Talk 23:37, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

BBG: Yes, where is the problem? The words are similar, but they're not the same. We should do whatever we can to minimize confusion, but we shouldn't sacrifice choosing the best term based on the fear that someone might not read it right if they don't look closely enough. — It's dot com 23:41, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, now we know that it won't imply any relation to the spin-off page. You can move it to Strong Bad Email Sign-offs now if you still want to. Bad Bad Guy 17:13, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Can we now? I don't think there's quite consensus for that yet, but maybe there will be. — It's dot com 17:55, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Move to Strong Bad Email Sign-offs. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  19:09, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

"Sign Offs" sound way too much like "Spin Offs". I say move to Strong Bad Email Closings. Dr. Clash 20:41, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

We've been through both of those arguments. Apparently it isn't important that they sound similar and "closings" sounds like plain endings would go there, too. Bad Bad Guy 21:53, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Animal

How long should that outro be? Bad Bad Guy 20:23, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Personally, I think it should just be, "Oops, sorry. Bye everybody."
