Millionaire?

I always thought they said, "The Cheat is the winner!", not "The Cheat is a millionaire!" It's pretty hard to tell, though. Any thoughts?

It's 'millionaire', I'm sure of it. Too many syllables for it to be 'winner'. --Upsilon

Headless homestar?

Why isn't there any mention of the headless homestar dancing at the very end of the flash file on this page? →evin290 13:15, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)

I guess no one noticed it before. Congraturation! --Venusy

Yeah, I just tried adding it, but I can't come up with a good wording for it. Go for it. -- Tom 14:25, 8 Mar 2005 (MST)

I have a copy of the SWF file saved on my hard drive dated 22 June 2004 and it does not have the headless homestar bit mentioned above. What this means is that Mike or Matt must have added that after 22 June 2004, more than eight months after its initial 13 October 2003 release. Here's the SWF file I had saved in 2004. How odd that they would go back and add such an unusual thing!—THE PAPER ^PREEEOW 07:33, 5 Jul 2005 (UTC)

glitches

Just so you know, those glitches were deliberate to make fun of poor flash animation, as does the whole cartoon

I'm sure some of them were, but probably not every single one. And sign your posts please. — _talk Bubsty _edits 01:56, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

"night-time" or "nice time"

Is Strong Bad's last phrase "See you later night-time" (as in the transcript) or "See you later nice time?" I hear the latter. Is it just me? --Jamby 01:56, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Nope, it's not just you - I hear "nice time" as well --Eric 02:29, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

Well, I'ma change I put the volume up full blast (which is very loud) and I am positive he said nice time.

I've always believed it to be "nice time" or even "nice times". -- tomstiff 05:08, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Fourth Wall Break?

Doesn't Strong Bad "break the fourth wall" by talking to the viewer? And even if not, isn't he breaking it by saying he's "not gonna do one this week"? I think it is most definitely a Fourth Wall Break. --SBEmail22 10:29, 14 Jun 2005 (EST)

This one's a close call, but I think it's as valid as some of the other items on that page. Why don't you start a discussion on the talk page there, or if you truly believe it should go on the page, just be bold and add it. — It's dot com 16:34, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The Fourth Wall Breaks page specifically says at the top that Strong Bad addressing the viewer is excluded from the page, because it happens so often and because the very fact that Strong Bad answers viewer emails indicates that he knows he has an audience. Aurora the Homestar Coder 16:45, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I think this one's a little more of a gray area because Strong Bad addresses us like he can see us. Then, when The Cheat makes his Flash toon, his parody extends all the way from "loading..." to the "preeow" of the printer. Meh, but I don't really feel strongly one way or the other. — It's dot com 18:31, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I can see that Strong Bad addressing the viewer would be excluded. But still, the fact that Strong Bad said that he wasn't going to do one makes me think of a fourth wall break. If there were something like the email "anything" in which Strong Bad wasn't available and Homestar (or another character) filled in for him and answered an email, I would be a bit more skeptical about it. But the fact that Strong Bad himself directly addresses that he refuses to answer a viewer's email has to be something. I also agree with what It's Dot Com said; if Strong Bad saying that he wasn't doing one isn't a fourth wall break, then the fact that The Cheat made a Strong Bad email complete with a loading screen and The Paper coming down could very well be a break as well. --SBEmail22 12:58, 14 Jun 2005 (EST)

It all started with The Cheat one day...

A theory of mine that I wanted to run by everyone: Near the end, Strong Bad claims his secret to be "The CHEAT!" Cue parade. This may seem like just more self-praise by The Cheat, but I wonder if, in the context, this may be a reference to SBEmail 50, where Strong Bad himself seems to attribute his awesomeness to The Cheat. I'm not sure about it, but it seems plausible. Thoughts? - Taster's Choice

I don't think it's a reference. I think you were right when you said it's just The Cheat's in-cartoon self-praise. — It's dot com 18:24, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
