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)

The tune Strong Bad sings in his introduction could just as well be the opening music from Elvis Presley's "Don't Be Cruel".

: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]].

Huh?

This could also be a reference to an intro from "Sport som finns" in "En himla mnga program" of "Galenskaparna & After Shave" html).

Does this have anything to do with this email? - 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? --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. --Upsilon

From what I underdtand, the policy regarding approtriateness on this wiki is that if it's shown on H*R, it's acceptable. -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. AK47x2 20:46, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
It's spelled "Bollocks" with an "o", not "Bullocks". I have the album. --Jangles5150 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. --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? --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. →[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

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? 24.193.245.4 05:58, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Nope. The "depressio" and Bookazon eggs didn't. Homestar Coderhomestar-coder-sig.gif 13:13, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I swear...

...that the Announcer said "the entire royal dominate to tears." Seek Bar

That doesn't really make much sense. I think its royal family. — talk Bubsty edits 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.--minibaseball.png Bkmlb(talk to me·stuff I did) 21:07, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I cant believe he said that

This voice also sound like one of the warner brothers, wacko. csours 17:43, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Wakko wasn't English, though... Dunno why he'd be offended. --DorianGray
I thought it sounded like one of the beatles....-Image:Homsar-in-motion.gifHomsar7(Hom · Sar)Image:Homsar-in-motion.gif
Ringo, to be exact... (see "Real Word Refrences") --Nom_anor67 01:21, 7 August 2006
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'm a little late on this response but but Wakko on the Animaniacs was voiced by Jess Harnell. ~
I thought it sounded like that, too. 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. -Image:Homsar-in-motion.gifHomsar7(Hom · Sar)Image:Homsar-in-motion.gif

I think it's better left up to the viewer's imagination, where it's sure to be more outrageous. --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. :)

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

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.

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. 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:

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? – The Chort 20:21, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
