Editing Talk:The House That Gave Sucky Treats

== Stupid Case Sensitiveness... ==
To the Admins: 

I moved this page (from the old wiki) because there was a link pointing to it. I was unaware at the time that there was already in existance a page nearly identical to this one (the only difference is [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats| it]] has the word "that" capitalized). Please delete this page. I have already corrected the small amount of other pages that were linking here erroneously (Where those pages should have linked to: [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]])

--[[User:The Paper|Teh P.]] 05:21, 17 Sep 2004 (MST)

:I did delete this page.  Then [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] (capital "t") was moved here (lowercase "t") shortly thereafter.  I'm curious as to why.  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 10:39, 18 Sep 2004 (MST)

::It should be a capital T. Besides being good English (subordinating conjunctions are capitalized in title case), it's listed with a capital T on homestarrunner.com. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 10:30, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== The Lightswitch ==

Does anyone know what the light switch is for in this toon? That's been bugging me for.. I guess a year now :)<BR>

:It doesn't do anything. -- [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 07:32, 14 Sep 2004 (MST)

If it doesn't do anything, then why have it? Is it just to make us go nutz-o over a freggin' flash lighswitch, determined to figure out what it does?!

== Strong Sad's Comment ==

At the end when all the ccharacters are having a conversation- strong sad talks about a room where people ask you questions about life- is this a reference to something? Does anyone know? -- [[User:Asploder|Asploder]]

I think that it is strong sad being strong sad.  [[User:Rogue Leader|Rogue Leader]]

I added my interpretation of this (i.e., reference to Christian "hell houses") in the Real-world References section. (It's not attributed there, so now you know who wrote it.) I'm starting to wonder if that was really the intention, though. Anyone else got thoughts on this? [[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]]

:I don't think that's it. A hell house has actors who ''depict'' the divine judgements to come, but Strong Sad makes it sound like they were actually about to judge him and send him there... or give him candy, one of the two. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:15, 16 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== A Fun Fact ==

*Coach Z's original opening line was 'Doot-da-doot-dooo  and I think I'll make ya' fall down on your face, but first let me introduce myself, my name is Hoodsey.  Pronounced with an Oodsey."

Can we get any confirmation on this particular fact? It doesn't quite sound right, but I don't want to remove it. I would've added this to the STUFF page, but since I have a severe mistrust of it these days, I figured this would work best. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 16:40, 15 Jan 2005 (MST)

It doesn't sound right to me, either. For some dumb reason, it seems more like "Doot-da-doot-dooo! I'd really like to see whatcha got on yer shelf, but first allow me to introduce myslef. My name is Coach Z, pronounced with an 'oach Z.'" to me...but what do I know?

== I choose YOU ==

Hasn't anyone noticed that the text I choose YOU, ___chu, from when you vote for your favorite costume, is an obvious reference to Pokemon and the phrase: "I choose YOU, Pikachu!"

I think the more pertinent question is, did anybody actually MISS that reference? They'd have to be living under a rock for the past ten years. [[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora Szalinski]] 00:12, 23 Mar 2005 (MST)

== I'm confused ==
did anybody actually vote? Did somebody win?

I don't think so, no. If it was up to me, Strong Bad would win with The Cheat as the runner-up (because he looks so cute at Punchy!)

== Homeschool Winner? ==

I thought i saw Homeschool Winner as a knight--[[User:StrongGen|StrongGen]] 08:59, 7 Jul 2005 (UTC)StrongGen
*Umm, that's one of the guys from the [[King of Town DVD]]. Dressed up as Idaho.--[[user:Kookykman|The Kooky One]][[User talk:Kookykman|(talk)]] 12:41, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

== Linux Problems? ==

To say that there are problems in Linux says little, as there are so many possible sound/browser configurations. It could be a bug in the flash player (what version?), a problem with the sound library (OSS? ALSA?), hardware, browser, kernel, etc... or it could be a problem with the flash file itself. Unfortunatly, I don't have a linux box, so I could not help, but could versions be mentioned somewhere? If it is a major problem, could there be a page about it?

Interesting though. I would expect it to be a problem with the porting of flash player.

== I choose you pt.2 ==

According to the disputed fun facts section it says don't refer to obvious things like poke'mon then on here it says The "I choose YOU, <insert character name here>chu" is an obvious reference to the show "Pokémon," where one character, Ash, has a similar famous line, "I choose YOU, Pikachu!" 

Even in the fn fact itself it say's it's obvious, I rest my case-Anynonmous.

:I don't think the STUFF instructions say that anymore. And this reference actually isn't that obvious... I don't have a clue what Pokémon is about. (And, really, couldn't you at least make up a fake name instead of just misspelling "anonymous"? At least you signed ''something'', which is more than a lot of people do.) &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 10:08, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Homestar ==

Once again, Homestar says he has to pee. How many times has he said that already?--[[User:Familyguy|Ava]]

== Spanish Inquisition ==

For the Fun Fact about the Spanish Inquisition sketch, I think we should link the wikipedia article about the sketch rather than the real Inquisition. I also think we should give an example; http://spanishinq.ytmnd.com/ - [[User:Swimma Dan|Swimma Dan]]
: The example is silly and unnecessary, and we already link to the article about the sketch. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:09, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

== Coach Z knocking ==

Did anyone else think it sounded like the rhythm from [[Everybody To The Limit]]?--[[User:Jnelson09|Jnelson09]] 22:27, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

:Just a typical hip-hop rhythm. But Bubs' knocking: "Hip Hop Dance" has an eighth rest on 4 and the word "dance" comes on the "and" of 4. Here the knock is square on 4. I think it's not close enough to be concidered that same trhythm. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:41, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

== Carmen Freakin' San Miranda ==

Should it be noted that Strong Bad previously says "I'm Carmen Freakin'" in the last Halloween cartoon?

== The Knight and the Hornblower ==

There appears to be no mention on this particular page that the Knight of Town (costumed as Idaho) and the Hornblower (costumed as B.C.) appear in the background when the KOT is at the door.
