Does this have anything to do with this email? - [[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 14:34, 16 Sep 2004 (MST)

I dunno what that's about, but doesn't this email say "bullocks" instead of "bollocks"? Did this get censored out?

== Never mind the B-Word ==

Given the family-friendly nature of this Wiki, shouldn't the title of that album be censored? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

I doubt it, because since most people who access the Wiki are Americans, they wouldn't seen "bullocks" as a curse word, or even anything inappropriate.
:But H*R has its share of British fans, and it's not as if this site is just for America. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

From what I underdtand, the policy regarding approtriateness on this wiki is that if it's shown on H*R, it's acceptable.  -[[User:Clever Ben|Clever Ben]]
:I think in this set of early sbemails, the rule is that if you don't understand it, you're not old enough to understand it. [[User:AK47x2|AK47x2]] 20:46, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
::It's spelled "Bollocks" with an "o", not "Bullocks". I have the album. --{{User:Jangles5150/sig}} 12:46, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

== Dominantly English? ==

"Dominantly English sport of cricket?" -- The Aussies might have something to say about that.
:You're right. I'll change that. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

== Tough one to time ==

this is a tough one to time, because the paper doesn't come down until you click on an easter egg... I think the running time may need to be changed.  Anyone else have thoughts on how to time this one? --[[User:DMurphy|DMurphy]] 15:24, 27 Mar 2005 (MST)

:I say when the newspaper comes up. That's when the transcript ends, as well as the Flash Seek Bar. &rarr;[[User:FireBird|''<small><tt>[[User:FireBird|<font color=green>FireBird</font>]]</tt></small>'']]

==Same Screen?==

I don't understand what the fun fact "This is the first email with an Easter egg that opens on the same screen as the Strong Bad email" is supposed to mean. Don't all Easter eggs open on the same screen? [[User:24.193.245.4|24.193.245.4]] 05:58, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Nope. The "depressio" and Bookazon eggs didn't. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 13:13, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== I swear... ==
...that the Announcer said "the entire royal ''dominate'' to tears." [[User:Seek Bar|Seek Bar]]

:That doesn't really make much sense. I think its royal family.  {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 21:02, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::It's definetly royal family.  If anything, it could be confused by domily, which of course, isn't a word.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 21:07, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)
== I cant believe he said that == 
This voice also sound like one of the warner brothers, wacko. {{User:Csours/sig}} 17:43, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
:Wakko wasn't English, though... Dunno why he'd be offended. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::::Tress MacNeille (sp?) did Wakko as Ringo deliberately. That's still probably where a lot of american kids heard their first scouse accent.. that or Mister Conductor.
:::::I thought it sounded like that, too. [[User:Tailsfanj9|Tailsfanj9]]
I would say that it sounded more like George Harrison, which is what I expected to see on the hrwiki page.

== Brought The Royal Family To Tears? ==

what did strong bad say (besides screw all y'all) to offend them? i think we deserve to know. -{{User:Homsar7/sig}}
:I think it's better left up to the viewer's imagination, where it's sure to be more outrageous. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Hey guys.. Cool site ==

Gah, aren't I sad writing in to you guys instead of getting on with my life?!

All I wanted to say was: it was amazing to be chosen, I'm just so sad I didn't include a surname, cus then at least my friends would maybe believe me when I claimed to be the author of e-mail 22. :)

Mark (author of the email referenced in SBEmail22)

== I'm not sure about the Ringo Starr one... ==

<i>Somebody sounding suspiciously like Ringo Starr says "I can't believe he said that" at the end of the press conference. This could be in reference to the infamous John Lennon quote stating that The Beatles were "more popular than Jesus" and the uproar that ensued.</i>

Okay, first of all, the Liverpudlian reminds me more of George Harrison than Ringo, but that's just me.  But unless one of The Beatles were quoted as saying "I can't believe he said that", I'm skeptical of whether this warrants a reference. [[User:Stapler|Stapler]] 19:17, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

:I agree, and I am removing it until it can be proven a reference in accordance with [[HRWiki:Standards#Real-World_References]]. And I quote:

:''For references, please only add the fact if you are CERTAIN that is a '''direct''' reference to exactly what you add.''

:This is a voice that ''might'' sound like ringo starr and ''might'' be a ''vague'' reference to a situation where someone ''might'' have said such a line. It is not a direct quote or reference. Furthermore:

:''If there's any '''reasonable doubt''', or it's a reference to "(this) and (this) and (this other thing) and (lots of other similar things)", or if it refers to something which is itself a reference to something else, please add it to the ''Talk page'' or the STUFF page before adding it to the article.''

:This is certainly doubtable, and so it should be brought up here on the talk page rather than on the article itself. This is not an isolated incident, this is a case of people scraping for references that aren't really there, and I unfortunately see it on the wiki more and more. The rule is "not-a-reference until proven a reference," and therefore does not belong. Baleeted. [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 19:41, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

::I think this fact should stay, but change "Somebody sounding suspiciously like Ringo Starr" to a more accurate "a person with a Liverpuddlian accent". Why else would they use *that* accent? {{User:The Chort/sig}} 20:21, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

== First Easter Egg? ==
What about [[Duck Pond]]?
The Trivia section claims that this is the first SBemail to contain an Easter Egg.  This is not true, as Duck Pond contains an Easter Egg, the Duck Pond Simulator.
Shouldn't this be corrected?

== Donkey kong background? ==

Does anyone else think the tune strong bad is humming at the start of this e-mail sounds just like the background music in donkey kong?
:Actually, now that you mention it, it sounds quite like that indeed. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:24, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
::Yes. Total yes. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 05:28, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

:::: oops, sorry, I missed it in the real world refrences because I kind of expected it to be described as such in the transcript for some reason.

== [[The Announcer]]? ==

I can maybe understand The Announcer being the one from the crowd asking Strong Bad the question Easter egg, but I don't think he's the one that said "Cor blimey". {{User:Mee/sig}} 12:05, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

== Release Date ==
What's with the release date on this one? Why is it in September '02 when the emails before and after it are in April of '02? [[User:MenacingBanjo|MenacingBanjo]] 22:17, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
:They actually skipped this one. That is, they went to email 23 right after email 21 by accident. They later went back and made email 22, hence the inconsistant release date. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:20, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

== What about "credit card"? ==
*This is the first email that Strong Bad edits. 
[[credit card]] came first, both in number and chronologically.  Why doesn't it count?  --[[User:Ingiald|Ingiald]] 17:01, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
:You know, that's a good point. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:47, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

== Strong Bad's opening ==

The tune Strong Bad sings in his introduction could just as well be the opening music from Elvis Presley's "Don't Be Cruel". Doesn't that seem like it could also be what the Brothers Chaps were referencing, especially since they had referenced an Elvis song in their [[vacation|previous email]]? {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 02:16, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
:Well, they're the same tune... So it's hard to tell. There's a strong case for both, given the proximity to the other elvis reference and TBC's clear affinity for [[Donkey Kong]]. If there was anything else connected to the song that could tie it to either... but alas, there is not, and thus I have no opinion as to which one it actually is. I'd lean towards DK, but i'd have no problem having both listed. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:07, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

-:It's not meant to reflect the release date, it's the numeric chronology of sbemails. 22 goes between 21 and 23. It's just that in 99% of all other cases, most release dates will also reflect their number in the list. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:59, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
