"Real" wrestlers

Spiky Shoulderpads are possibly parodying the Road Warriors or the Legion of Doom. The "Facepaint connection" directly parodies Demolition, including the Mr. Fuji-esque manager. Jack 'em Up kid's outfit is similar to the Junkyard dog, but talks more like Hulk Hogan. Boliver Turnbunkler may refer to William Regal. --Slackerboy 22:52, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree with the Road Warriors. I don't even know wrestling (like, at all), and I thought of it. (I probably remember some wrestling game review in Nintendo Power...) --DorianGray 22:56, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Threw in the Road Warriors as well as specific jabs at Hulk Hogan. I don't know if the "EM UP" on the back of Homestar's tights is similar enough to "THUMP" on the back of JYD's to merit inclusion. And by the way, I've been watching wrestling for 20 years -- this email is downright hilarious. --TJDevil02

The out-of-breath three-words-at-a-time ranting is classic, isn't it? But anyway, I think "EM UP" to "THUMP" would get rejected hard around here, unless you can show that the location/lettering is similar. I haven't seen this, and couldn't find an image of it quickly. OptimisticFool 00:30, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, JYD's THUMP was just written in a plain sans-serif font, and it didn't go in an arch either. And maybe it's just me, but I think the Facepaint Connection's blue/gray/black color scheme looks more like the Powers of Pain than the Demos. Mr. Fuji managed both, right? --68.214.209.69 07:54, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

You're right, he did. It's worth examining more, especially since I forgot the PoP wore facepaint. They dropped it after they were split up in 1990.

Missed an Easter egg.

• Why are you mentioning it here? Just add it next time you see something like that. 0rion 06:47, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

We HAVE seen his moves... some of them anyway (oh, and grammar error)

I don't wanna go adding anything to this article about it as I don't know the proper names, but we saw SB perform a suplex and a piledriver in sibbie... my wrestling knowledge isn't good enough to know what kind they were, so I'll leave it up to someone more in the know :) Psi 23:05, 27 November 2007 (UTC) Oh yeah, and I don't think"Dear awesome Strong Bad." is actually a sentence, as it does not contain a verb, despite SB's remark.

On the "PS", of course it isn't. However, "Dear Strong Bad" SHOULD end in a comma, not a period. It's just Strong Bad mocking the writer's grammar like always. --Jay (Talk) 00:31, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Strong Bad was also taxidoimied suplexing a cougar in funeral.Xerzes 00:55, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Another grammar error

When SB types "dinosaur tranquilizer fueled ranting and raving" (misspelling "fueled" as "feuled" on the screen), shouldn't it be hyphenated as "dinosaur-tranquilizer-fueled?" I know at least "tranquilizer-fueled" is.

Technically, yes, you are correct. That kind of modifier should be hyphenated.DAGRON 01:33, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Fo' Sizzle

I'm thinking it's Sizzleweight. The emblem on the belt shows bacon and a fried egg.. sizzling? Although it does sound like Strong Bad says it "Fizzle" .. but maybe that's just him mocking Homestar.. OptimisticFool 00:42, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

In this case, I just picked whatever I thought I heard, since it wasn't very distinct. I can see "sizzleweight" being right now that you mention it. --Jay (Talk) 00:50, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I keep hearing "thistleweight", but i guess "sizzle" makes more sense... — Defender1031*Talk 00:51, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Jackemettes

I think comparing this to "Juggalo" is a bit much of a stretch. I admit this may be partially due to a strong dislike of ICP. Xerzes 00:52, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

• I have friends in a wrestling troupe who wrestle in Juggalo/Juggalette style, so I don't think it's much of a stretch. I think we should at least acknowledge the Juggalette/Jackemette similarity. Taranch-V15

This 'similarity' is a forced coincidence at best. I see no reason to include it. Of course, I just had my History of Tudor/Stuart England class today, so I heard Jack-emite as being extremely similar to Jacobite. I suppose that gives us a This and a That...can anyone provide an Other Thing?Some kind of scientist 07:13, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Vegemite!

It's probably too flimsy to survive STUFFing, but I also felt like the similarity to "Jacobites" was intentional, if bizarre. For the unfamiliar, it is indeed pronounced "JACK-uh-bite", not "JAY-kuh-bite". --TheNicestGuy 15:29, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

• • Juggalettes are related to wrestling. Jacobites are related to those who followed the belief of the illegitimacy of parliamentary interference with monarchical succession. If you're going to argue against something, at least keep it on topic. Taranch-V15

Poo Yeah?

I don't hear a "P" sound. It's more like "Hoo Yeah" or "Who Yeah" DAGRON 00:55, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I hear "hoo yeah" as well. — Has Matt? (talk) 01:50, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

hoo, this ain't no Important Rap Song here. — Defender1031*Talk 01:53, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, "Hoo, yeah!" Well, I like the comma in there, but I might be outnumbered. But it ain't .. the other thing .. that I can't even bring myself to type. I don't like that word. =] OptimisticFool 01:57, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

It's probably "Boo Yeah". I think that would be a portmanteau of "Boo Yah" and "Oh Yeah". Im a bell 03:36, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

C'mon Guys, Seriously

It's about time we made the KOT booing off screen a running gag. Hes done it like, 8 times man! — 68.53.87.6 (Talk | contribs) 00:57, 28 November 2007 (UTC) (left unsigned)

You mean The King of Town Booing? That was created a couple hours before you posted this? OptimisticFool 01:11, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Singers

I can hear the Thnikkaman singers, but it sounds like they're being accompanied by Crackotage. Anyone else hear this? -- TJDevil02

Fear and Loathing?

Is it just me or do Strong Bad and Strong Mad's getups as "The Wild Vacationers" recall Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (who are memorably Wild in their Vacationing). Shouldn't this go in Real World references? Cheesechimp 04:20, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

In SBEmail menu but not New Stuff

This isn't listed in the 'New Stuff' section. I'm not sure whether it's a remark or a goof. Stribbs 10:06, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it is. --Jay (Talk) 10:08, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

hmm, so it is now. Oh well. Stribbs

It was probably just your cache. --Jay (Talk) 10:13, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Foreign object bros.

Could this possibly be a reference to the super mario bros.? I'm sure I'm wrong, but this is the first thing I thought of when I saw it.-AWMPSCE

How? Just because they both use "Brothers" in their name? --DorianGray 20:55, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
