== Homestar's Song ==

:::Not necessarily, because it's possible that all but one of those people are wrong. :) 
::::Just to clarify:  the song Homestar sings in [[anything]] is the same tune as the themesong from The Neverending Story;  that's an objective fact that can be demonstrated by anyone who knows musical notation.  If a bunch of people came in saying "I think it sounds like the theme from Night Court!" and "No, it's totally 'Yesterday' by the Beatles!" and "Wait, I could swear I heard that tune in a Bach fugue somewhere" and "Are you sure it isn't from Merzbow's new album?", that wouldn't make it TTATOT.  It would still actually be a reference to The Neverending Story, and all those other people would just be wrong.

=="Human noses?"==

Does Strong Bad imply that he is not human? Has this ever happened before?
:I was wondering about that myself.  I know it was in a quick joke, and may not hold a lot of weight, but I think something like whether or not you're human isn't something that you casually contradict in a joke with out paying attention.  You wouldn't say "It looks just like me except with a human nose" even as a joke, unless it was already given that you weren't human, or at least weren't considered human.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 08:36, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
::well, no matter how you look at it, he ''doesn't'' have a human nose, just like how homestar and the like don't have arms or pants, and those are mentioned all the time, too.  i don't think it has much bearing on ''what'' anybody is.  --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 08:54, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:::Except he said "human nose".  It would have been just like Homestar's arms if he just said "nose".  The humor in that, just like the humor in [[fingers]] is adding something to him that he should have but obviously doesn't.  It's the same way with the word human.  The humor in adding a human nose to him is that he has no nose and he's not human.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 09:00, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

== A mousy description? / Coach Z can't talk. ==

First, I'm not sure about that description of the Cheat's mural picture.  His pudginess and distinctive, if unlabelled, jar of Hunny seem to suggest Winnie the Pooh to me.  (The antennae, obviously, are out of place.)

Second, does Coach Z say "You're toys" or "You're twice"?  I definitely heard the latter, which I can imagine him saying because he's weird, but the former makes sense too.  Any thoughts? -- [[User:Onamuji|Onamuji]] 12:54, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

== Gunkistan? ==

Why got the Facts about Gunkistan being a portmanteau and a inside reference to Gunk Iller deleted?

:It may be because they're wrong...The portmanteau is less obviously incorrect, but technically -stan and is a suffix, a word in some language (Arabic) meaning "land," which is why it's used at the end of so many countries (Afghanistan = Land of the Afghanis, Kazakhstan = Land of the Kazakhs, etc.). This would make it not a portmanteau. As for the other one, being a reference to the Gunk Iller, I see no reason why this was up there in the first place. Gunk is a very common term for any gross, ambiguous substance.

::I disagree with you on the portmanteau subject. if you look at the [[Portmanteaus]] page you'll notice "Millionzoic", "Tenthennial" and "Geographist", all words with a general suffix. Gunkistan should be there too. Maybe I was a little off by saying that it's in particular park Pakistan, but that's the only country that have the letter K to form -kistan (Gun-Kistan). I'm not readding it still so it won't start to be and edit war, but I think it should be discussed. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 21:59, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

== Two things ==
1.) Are we sure Homestar is singing "broken glass?" because I heard "working class". 2.) Will the shady daycare be haunting anybody else's nightmares or just mine?

:"Working Class" makes no sense.  The pinatas were filled with broken glass as evidenced by the multiple lacerations and shards on Homestar's face.  Since Strong Bad asked Homestar to reveal what was contained there-in.  In true Homestar way he sung it. [[User:Stribbs|Stribbs]] 17:37, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:1) definitely broken glass, 2) just yours  --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 17:51, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't really think it's either. It's just a toucan. A random jungle animal. Also, are we sure the other DVD is a play on Cinderella? It seems likely, but not certain. But if so, it needs to be worded better.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 21:01, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

== My Gym Partner Is A Strong Bad ==

The "Jungle Animals in Non-Jungle Situations" thing reminds me heavily of the Cartoon Network show "My Gym Partner is a Monkey."  Anyone else?  (Oops, mistakenly put this as an edit rather than an addition.)

== Papa Cardgage ==

For the record, the song Frère Jacques and the song Where Is Thumbkin have the same tune, and judging from the lyrics, I think it was meant to be an allusion to Thumbkin, not Jacques :P

== Internet Connection ==

So... that shot from the back of Strong Bad's computer?  Yeah, there's definitely no phone or ethernet line connected back there, nor is there any card in his PCMCIA slot (not that I'd think the lappy was wifi-capable, anyway...) so I can only assume Strong Bad is not actually connected to the Internet.  I don't really think this is significant enough to be mentioned in the remarks section, but I thought I'd bring it up, anyway. --[[Image:qod_22_-_reynold.PNG|20px]] <span style="font-family:Times New Roman">[[User:Lelila|<span style="color:#530000">lelila</span>]] <small>[[User_talk:Lelila|<span style="color:#530000">(talk)</span>]]</small></span> 22:22, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Much like the possibility in #152 ([[isp]]), the number of this email is a multiple of #38 ([[helium]]), so do you think that would have something to do with the cheat puffing like a balloon?

::Those things are most likely a coincidence, so they should not be mentioned in the article. As for your remark at [[Talk:isp]], when you wondered why 152/38=4, Strong Mad, the one affected by the helium, is the fourth character to appear in the email. Same goes for this email: 190/38=5, The Cheat is the fifth character to appear. If your going to do numerology, do it the right way ;) Still, it's just a coincidence.

== Disney??? ==

It never once even crossed my mind that the DVDs shown were based on Disney sequels as the fact currently states (I reverted an edit that expanded the "reference" thinking it ''added'' it, until I looked closer.) It looks more like the bad Disney ''knockoffs'' that sit near the checkout stand in many department stores, that almost always have the same (or similar) subject as contemporary Disney movies. That fits better with the context of the email's theme, too. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:42, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
:Agreed. It's got nothing to do with the disney sequels, and everything to do with the knockoffs. That's the point of this email in the fist place. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:57, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
::Should I baleete the whole fact or just the part about sequels? {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 21:33, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
DeFender, can I ask you to make up your mind about the subject?  [[#Disney DVDs|Earlier]], you said, "Could be a reference to all the crappy sequals...", but here you say, "It's got nothing to do with the disney sequels...", so I tried to remove it from the Wiki's [[Disney]] article, but you [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Disney&diff=next&oldid=628623 reminded me] not to remove "legitimate content".  Do you or do you not think it's a parody of Disney sequels? {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 01:40, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
:::This was a while ago, and i don't remember every post i make, but I'm pretty sure i'm commenting about two separate things. I think what i was saying was that the high sequel number is a reference, but the rest of it is not, but like i said, it was a while ago. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:26, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

== Coach Z's Hand ==

I was watching this on my DVD and noticed that Coach Z's hand must have been made in the same flash image as the pinata and string because, as it (the pinata) swings, his hand rotates. Is this a goof like it was done just to make animating easier, or is this supposed to happen. I watched this on my tv, so it's kinda harder to see on the computer. Viewing the flash file helps. So, what do you think? -{{User:Opus the Penguin/sig}} 00:10, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

I don't know if I'm just confused or if this is a real fun fact.Strong Bad says that one of the requirements in order to sell unlicensed products of him and The Cheat, one of them must have a human nose,but of of their products show them without human noses.I think this is notable. {{User:Wasd98/sig}} 01:08, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
:Well, yeah, he says that a requirement to ''sell'' unlicensed stuff is that one of them has to have a human nose.  He never says that characters ''in the products'' have to have human noses. And, they are never seen actually selling their items. {{User:StrongAwesome74/sig}} 01:14, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
::Erm, I don't think either of those really apply, StrongAwesome. Anyway, on the DVDs, The Cheat has weird noses, but not HUMAN noses. The Cheets and Strong Brush don't have human noses, either, though each only represents one character. I'd say notable, for the DVDs especially. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:17, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

== Twice? ==
