I think Strong Sad has a new look in this email. [[User:MICGAGUH]]
:No, he doesn't. That happened last week. but, for some reason, he switches between his old and new design. the old one shows up when he films the dead plant. then, when he graps the monopoly money, he has his new, more realistic hands. this goes on throughout the rest of the toon.--{{User:Crudely Drawn Cupcake/sig}} 13:44, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Problem is, he says "Moms", not "Developers", which means it's actually closer to the original than the "developers" line (since he pronounces Gif the same way as "Jif"). I say either footnote the "developers" bit or nix it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:45, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

I found this [http://www.cartoonstock.com/directory/s/short_answer.asp cartoon], but it doesn't have the source year. The Zero Punctuation came out on 17 September 2008, And the long answer joke is the first and most notable one in the video review. It's so exaggerated that it's repeated before the end credits. So, does anybody have a different, more TBC-style source for the joke, or are we going to claim "originality" here? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 04:42, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
::I don't think it should stay on. It's an old joke, and I don't think that something from 2008 should be sited as the original.

== Juno ==

The opening of the "indie film" is very much like the opening to Juno; with the little-known band soundtrack and pencil drawings filling in the scenes etc. I leave the edit in your hands if you deem it worthy.
(Previous unsigned comment left by [[Special:Contributions/87.254.80.152|87.254.80.152]])
:I removed this Real-World Reference item yesterday:
::* The animated intro in Pom Pom's indie movie is a reference to films which use hand-drawn style opening credit sequences, such as [http://www.shadowplaystudio.com/juno/ this one] from [[Wikipedia:Juno (film)|Juno]].
:on the grounds that Juno is (the contributor even admits) not the only thing this could be a reference to, and I thought it was our policy around here not to make statements like "Hand-drawn animated opening credit sequences are a reference to hand-drawn animated opening credit sequences." Nonetheless, the item was resurrected a few edits later, and even brought back in its original form a few edits after that, and has now sprouted an additional excuse for inclusion, that the director is the son of a famous director (which doesn't make it any more of a reference to hand-drawn animated intros). However, I am not someone who has time to keep coming back and deleting something just to stand my ground, so let me just register my disagreement here. [[User:LikeAsItself|LikeAsItself]] 02:37, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
:::It says "such as." That means that it's not saying it's a reference to '''only''' Juno, but just using that particular one as an example. I'm reverting. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 02:46, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
::::I didn't add the reference to begin with, but changed it back to Juno with explanation after someone else suggested Shortbus.  I think it's probably an actual reference to Juno, especially with the added director comment.  Regardless, if you look at it grammatically, it isn't of the form "Hand-drawn animated opening credit sequences are a reference to hand-drawn animated opening credit sequences," but "Hand-drawn animated opening credit sequences are a reference to films such as Juno."  Maybe it could be re-reworded to indicate that PP's film references Juno, which has a hand-drawn ... and a director who's the son of a famous ....[[Special:Contributions/146.122.71.68|146.122.71.68]] 12:33, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::My point was that if you have to say "such as" then it's not a reference to a specific thing and it shouldn't be mentioned. I have seen this reasoning used to remove items on this wiki before, usually when people couldn't agree on what was being referenced (one that sticks out in my memory was the line "Can I get a witness?" in the [[retirement]]). Now I wasn't the one who changed it to Shortbus, but the fact that someone did sort of proves my point. [[User:LikeAsItself|LikeAsItself]] 02:42, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

DeFender just reverted the following fact because "it's a cartoon and this is too nitpicky."

<nowiki>*It's odd that Strong Bad didn't notice the desktop before, since he would have had to gone in earlier to set up his e-mail account.</nowiki>

I, however, contend that Remarks are <i>for</i> being nitpicky, and that's why this isn't a goof. Plus, it's something I didn't immediately notice when I was watching the email. Thoughts? --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 19:26, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

::Or it's possible The Cheat sets it up for him, or Bubs, or whoever has any sort of experience with technology.

==  Possible Fun Fact? ==

Which category should this one go under (I was thinking either Explanations or Real-World References)? Or is it completely unnecessary?

*The car shown in the intro to Pom Pom's indie film is actually a 2007-2008 [[Wikipedia:Nissan Maxima|Nissan Maxima]].
**The car also got 21 City/28 Highway MPG in 2007 and 19 City/25 Highway MPG in 2008.

:It's interesting, but the second bullet shouldn't go on the page. Put it in "Explanations," I think. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 02:53, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
::Well, I thought the second bullet should be kept, since the intro shows the car as having 18 MPG. But we should wait for some more opinions. {{User:Homestarmy Commando1/sig}}

I would phrase it this way:

*The car shown in the intro to Pom Pom's indie film is actually a 2007-2008 [[Wikipedia:Nissan Maxima|Nissan Maxima]], which actually got 19 City/25 Highway MPG in 2008.

Slightly cleaner than two bullet points, and still as ludicrusly matter-of-fact as hrwiki tends to be. [[Special:Contributions/65.191.103.62|65.191.103.62]] 20:51, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

== Dangersque Irony ==

Should it be noted that Dangersque is an independent film, making Strong Bad a total hypocrite? I mean, for the live performance of "Alright 4 2Nite", that Limozeen guy even described it as an independent film.
[[User:Tojo940|Tojo940]] 05:42, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

::Maybe speaking generally, E.L. Cool, but according to Wikipedia, ''"an [[Wikipedia:independent film|independent film]], or indie film, is a film that is produced outside of any major film studio."''

== YouTube posting of DVD version? ==

Cross-referencing a posting made in the [[Talk:YouTube#homestarrunnerdotcom|Talk:YouTube]] discussion, the YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/homestarrunnerdotcom posted independent on September 2nd, less than a month after the email was released - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjwlrvcKcfI

The video appears to be the DVD version, even though a DVD release isn't expected for quite some time.  Here are the significant changes:
*The video begins with the title "Independent" in the Compé's font.
*The entire sequence with the Cheat telling Strong Bad how to change his desktop is deleted; the YouTube version starts with Strong Bad's song.
*The ending is completely changed after the line "There you have it, Evil Jeff. The difference between a hideous growth on my butt, and a ''profitable'' hideous growth on my butt."  The altered script is as follows:

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now, if you'll excuse me, I gotta go raid Pom Pom's craft soivice table.  Can't get enough of those artisinal cheeses and that extra healthy water.

''{Strong Bad gets up, making The Geddup Noise, and the Compé-per appears with the simulated The Paper sound, reading "the end."}''

I haven't gone through to see if there were fixes to any still-applicable goofs, but it is remarkable that this version has been posted on YouTube, so close to the original version's release.  --[[User:Kyojikasshu|Kyojikasshu]] 02:41, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

-Strong Bad contradicts himself by saying that the film was cheap to make, when he had previously mentioned that a 30 million dollar budget had ben used to make the film look cheap to make. <br><br />
-Does this belong anywhere on the page? Like, remarks or something? {{User:Movie magic man/sig}} 15:57, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
-== city (comma) state ==
-[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_%28Comma%29_State Observe]. Shouldn't they be mentioned on this page somewhere? [[Special:Contributions/67.183.216.25|67.183.216.25]] 00:38, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
-:It's mentioned on the appropriate [[Sightings]] page. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 01:41, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
-== Lan Handermannek-Bernardo Ralph Shawn Callback ==
-Should it be mentioned that Homestar's line in the easter egg, "Bernardo Ralph Shawn, you know. Sounds like he'd be some type of famous actor." Is a callback to when Strong Bad says, "... like, Lan Handermannek. Uh, that's not a real actor or anything, I just like the sound of... Lan Handermannek is Strong Badman!" in [[Comic Book Movie]]? Or could it just be qualified as a sock barrel joke? [[User:Glittery Taupe|Glittery Taupe]] 22:36, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
-:I think it's a less-used running gag of theirs similar to Homestar saying that "Larry" sounds like the kinda guy who could help, while stranded on an ice floe, and thus called his name.
-== Holding on wide shots for too long ==
-Is holding on wide shots for too long a reference to Andy Warhol? [[User:Wolf O&#39;Donnel|Wolf O&#39;Donnel]] 20:27, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
-:Probably a reference to the generic idea and not to anything in particular. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:06, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
