Editing Talk:A Jumping Jack Contest

==Forward Referencing?==
When Strong Bad is walking back to the stage from his poolside chair and singing, "Who is the guy that wins all the contests? That's me, Strong Bad. Except... maybe for that one contest. Or maybe more than one contest.", I think it might be a reference to [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Main_Page_11 Main Page 11] when the OTS headline has Strong Bad saying, "I shoulda won all those times!"

Anyone agree with me? --[[User:Skizzot|Skizzot]] 22:46, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)''Italic text''


==Removal theory?==
The removal of the cartoon probably has something to do with the writing credit by R. Craig Zobel. They probably wanted anything that wasn't made completely by Chapmans gotten rid of, to remove the threat of future lawsuits.

:Hm.  That isn't really plausible, since Craig also helped write [[Where's The Cheat?]] and the [[Original Book]] and both of these toons are still on the site.  And I haven't read anything that would lead me to believe that Craig and The Brothers Chaps aren't friends anymore.  You refer to "future lawsuits", was there one in the past that I'm not aware of?  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 10:17, 18 Sep 2004 (MST)

::Not that I know of, but a small time operation like H*R that is fast turning into a super successful enterprise might want to keep its butt covered, and the Chaps are smart guys who know this. Anyways, it was just an idle speculation.

:::So you can't back up your theory with fact and admit that it isn't even probable.  Do you know The Brothers Chaps personally?  Because I find it hard to believe that you would know what they are thinking if you don't actually know them.  Let's not speculate at all.  Or at the very least, keep it on the forum.  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:22, 18 Sep 2004 (MST)

::::Umm... I think they took it off the site because of Homestar. He was being to stupid. Even for Homestar. And that's STUPID! He couldn't tell that Strong Mad was Strong Bad (Although in email 114 he calls Strong Bad Pom Pom). And Tom makes a point. Where's the cheat and the original book were both by Craig and so do at least two of the Halloween toons. And who would get a lawsuit from saying that their friend made a cartoon with them and they animated it? If Missy divorced Mike would they have to remove '''EVERYTHING''' with ''Marzipan'' in it??? I mean, that's probably not it. Maybe it's the urine reference but then there's Homestar: I weally got. I weally got to pee-pee. --[[User:Bonkava!|Mr. Flash Dude]]

== References in later toons ==

Is that section really needed? Couldn't they all be lumped in with the Fun Facts? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
:'''EDIT:''' Since I've received no feedback, I'm going to delete the section and put all the references into Fun Facts. If there are any objections, let me know. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

== The Announcer's Monocle ==

Strang... In this cartoon the glare of the Anouncer's monocle is a Z. I wonder if this has something to do with Coach Z. Coach Z looks a lot like the Anouncer.

== Glad ==

I'm kind of glad they took this off. It isn't really funny. You know, at all. If they re-did it and made it funny I'd like it. -- <small>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]|<sub>[[User_Talk:FireBird|Talk]]</sub></small>

It is so funny! :P :P :P :P :P :P -[[User:Miss Free Country USA|Miss Free Country USA]]

I'd have to go with Miss FCUSA. It IS so funny!-- [[User:Bonkava!|Bonkava!]]

You know, if I was [[User:Firebird|Firebird]] I would say this should definitly go on the forums. -Kinsey

Not Funny!?!?!?!? How dare you!? [[User:Total Spaceship Guy3|Total Spaceship Guy3]] 16:24, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== One of the best cartoons ==

I just saw the cartoon on the mirror website, and I couldn't believe how good it was! It was funny, too. It's about 15 times better than [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (toon) |Marshmallow's Last Stand]].

[[User:Homsar999|Homsar999]] 17:58, 11 Nov 2004

I aggree with Homsar999. I hear so many people say it's not funny but I think it's hillarious.

The fluffy noodle boy

== Which Came First? ==

Which did TBC make first, this toon or The Reddest Radish? I have reason to believe that they made the Reddest Radish first because in that one Strong Bad's eyes are slightly pointed at the bottom like in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (toon) |Marshamallow's Last Stand]] but in A Jumping Jack Contest they're completely round like they are now. 
-[[User:Miss Free Country USA|Miss Free Country USA]]

The Reddest Radish did come first. Look at the old toons page and you see. The first one has no JJC, the second one does. Both have RR.--[[User:Bonkava!|Mr. PencilVark]]

== Don't make up dialogue ==

Please do not make up dialogue for [[The Cheat]] or [[Pom Pom]].  Or [[The Poopsmith]] for that matter.  We simply can't do that, as it is not said in the toon.  Thanks.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]]  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 10:25, 29 Dec 2004 (MST)

==Links don't seem to work==

The links to the mirrored 'toon don't work. Going through the history, the pre-internal links still work. Did someone delete the pages without fixing this page? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 20:48, 20 Jan 2005 (MST)

:Duh.  It was my bad.  You'll probably notice from the error message that the url loads funny.  That's because I [[HRWiki talk:FAQ#Mirrors|disabled the directoy]] listing weird.  I'll fix it now.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]]  --  [[User:Tom|Tom]] 23:31, 20 Jan 2005 (MST)

== ??? ==

I don't think references to peeing is what made this toon taken off. There are many things like that done on the website. -Kinsey

*That is a good point, 2 years, virus, and The Luau all have references to peeing, so it's not probable [[User:Total Spaceship Guy3|Total Spaceship Guy3]] 16:22, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:*Yes, but I don't think any other references were so visual (showing the yellow urine in the jar) --[[User:Skizzot|Skizzot]] 22:48, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::*But visual references to poo are okay, even the suggestion that one would eat poo like candy as in 3-times-halloween-funjob (which, incidently, is less funny than a jumping-jack contest).

== Other toon? ==

In this cartoon, Pom Pom sacrificed his chance to reveal The Cheat, and Homestar shared the trophy. This happened in the original book, but Homestar revealed The Cheat and Pom Pom shared the trophy. Worth noting? [[User:Amy Whifflepoof|Amy Whifflepoof]]

Maybe, seems a little bit trivial, though.
