| - | Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the music used when Strong Bad recites the love poem (with apostrophes) used in an earlier H*R thing? --[[Special:Contributions/76.230.124.252|76.230.124.252]] 16:35, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

| - | Yep! The music comes from "Date Nite" when The Cheat is with Marzipan at Marshmallow's L'est Stand.

| - | You musta been referring to the music during the scented candles poem and also during Homestar's acrostic poem, but ''not'' during the apostrophes. In case you don't recall, the romantic music originated in email 130 "Do Over" and appears after "Love Poems" in the KoT Easter egg in "Play Date." --[[User:Charlie Jr.|Charlie Jr.]] 19:36, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

| - | Is Rub Doctor an instance of Engrish? That is, does Rub Doctor = Love Doctor? Is that the joke? Is my sense of humor broken? Am I just now getting what everyone else got the day they first watched it? If that is the joke, does this go on [[Deliberately Poor English]]? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 22:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

| - | : In Japanese, there is no 'l' or 'v', which are instead replaced by 'r' and 'b' respectively. So 'love' certainly does become 'rub' when pronounced phonetically in Japanese. --[[Special:Contributions/122.49.135.250|122.49.135.250]] 11:51, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

| - | ::(After an edit conflict:) Potatoes. No, seriously, I think the joke is that we'll never know what he was "about to say", and it's likely that it would have been a non-sequitur anyway. And this is kinda forumy anyway. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:27, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
