Questionable Note

(She is the girl) ... who seems to be the one who takes the most damage, physically and emotionally.

She actually seems to get killed the least often of any of the girls.

Uhmm... no? Being "killed" and "[taking]... damage, physically and emotionally" are different things. Strong Sad could tell you that. Also, emotional pain is completely irrelevant to death. So although you MAY AS well be right that she GETS KILLED less often (in fact I think only thrice), that doesn't contradict the above statement.

• punt = fatal
• bat whacking = not fatal but painful
• not getting to go to the mall = emotionally painful but far from fatal
• possums = painful, but not fatal
• heavy object falling = fatal
• being entirely overlooked = emotionally painful; more fatal than mall but not that fatal
• wave of babies = slightly painful; mainly annoying
• Mrs. Commanderson's claws = barely painful
• almost getting eaten = not yet but almost fatal
• legless desk = very degrading, emotional pain equals very yes
• stuck playing bass = emotionally painful
• eaten by shark = fatal

I think perhaps the fact that she gets killed less might increase this. Once you're dead that's it, you can't feel it anymore. But if you're alive the pain just keeps coming along- Overused and Underappreciated (I'm not logged in.)

I'd also like to remind everyone that she's the only desireable one.

Yeah. But uh, minds don't think alike. --Gafaddict 12:25, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

I agree with the person who wasn't logged in. I also agree she's the most desirable.20X6 GEM

From the Paper "Teen Girl Squad: Class Stratification and the Role of Otherness Within A Multi-teen Peer Group Dynamic"

I think that's because she's there as a foil. She's the 90s-alt-quasigrunge element to offset the materialistic, leetspeaking, "boymongering" (?), tone of the rest of the Squad. Granted, those traits are primarily ascribable to Cheerleader, but as highlighted in Episode 9, the Squad takes its cues from her. WHF is not so emphatic in her counterculturalism as to leave the Squad, which I think is still a point in her favor. She stays real, principled, and level-headed, but not unnecessarily, divisively, or wearisomely so--if she did she'd be Marzipan. notstrongorbad 17:19, 26 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I had not thought it possible for anyone to deconstruct What's Her Face in such a way. But you did. If I could give out an honorary degree from CGNU, I would. — THE SMOKING MONKEY

Thanks, smokingmonkeydude. But wait, I just noticed the part where it says "her real name is either Virginia, Joy, or Jennifer." Anybody know where they're getting that from? notstrongorbad 06:56, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)

comic. So and So is referred to as Kristina, so it logically follows that the other three girls are the other three emailers names. --ENUSY , 08:00, 27 September 2005 (BST)

Thanks--it finally ocurred to me to search for it, and I found that. I have a hunch she's the Jennifer. That would make Cheerleader Joy, of course.notstrongorbad 07:03, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)

What evidence do you have to bac up your claim? —Gafaddict (Talk | Contribs.) 19:11, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)
