I was watching the toon while holding down the tab button to look for easter eggs, so at the end I was holding it down and the paper was just stuck there covering the whole screen of the lappy and the audio for the "downhill" easter egg played.

Also, when his head is popped up, his head's shadow does not move on his neck.

== Letterman ==

:''Strong Bad's mention of talk show hosts using guest hosts when they have surgery is a reference to [[Wikipedia:David Letterman|David Letterman]].''
The above was removed from the article. I'm not going to do an exhaustive search, so I won't bother claiming Letterman is the ''only'' host to have undergone surgery, but he's certainly the most popular one in recent memory to do so, and I think it's very likely TBC would have had him (and only him) in mind as they wrote the line. The only person I can think of who has both had guest hosts and is as notable as Dave is Johnny Carson, but [[Wikipedia:The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson#Guest hosts|this section]] doesn't make any mention of a surgery. I think the link to Letterman should be restored, at least in some form. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:00, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

: I would have to say no. It's really explaining the joke - the fact writes itself from Strong Bad's own words. To wit: "Strong Bad talking about talk show hosts taking replacements when they have surgery is a reference to talk show hosts taking replacements when they have surgery [such as blah blah blah blah blah]." Kind of a useless fact. Surgery is near-universal in this day and age (at least among anyone with any money at all in America). --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:16, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

== James Bond reference? ==

Does anyone else think the reference to replacing Original Bubs with an unknown that had zero experience (and it going 'downhill' from there) was a reference to the James Bond series?  I mean, that's exactly what George Lazenby was - an unknown with zero experience.  And the wide opinion is that the series DEFINITELY went downhill from there.

:Did someone mention [http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0080.html Banjo clown hand puppets]? But no, given the mention of "horns" right next to the emoticon, I think that the corna is a safe assumption, as opposed to a tongue-in-cheek website that's making reference to the corna anyways. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 14:50, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

== Great Eyesight ==

Is the fact that original Bubs has "good eyesight" due to the fact that New Bubs has had to squint just to see something like the sign that says 'Duck A L'Orange' when Strong Bad held it up in [[lunch special]]? --[[User:Abelhawk|Abelhawk]] 00:59, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

== Just a notice ==

Oh, and by the way, I don't think this is a valid remark:
"Bubs saying that he has no thumbs is a reference to his lack of visible fingers."
'Lack of visible fingers' redirects to 'lack of visible arms.' Bubs HAS arms, and he's not really referring to anything that has to do with them, but rather just maknig a random comment about himself. I don't think it's part of that running gag. --[[User:Abelhawk|Abelhawk]] 01:03, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

:::I admit it's not very detailed, but it looks way more like a crappy Statue of Liberty than a crappy Eiffel Tower or giraffe.

:I don't know about pretending that a character was present and hidden. The episode of Dick Van Dyke where Laura got stuck in the bathtub does come to mind, but as far as I know that was a bonafide plot device, not just a workaround. But mainly the whole "creative ways to write him into stories" sequence made me think of Suzanne Somers on ''[[Wikipedia:Three's Company#Cast Changes|Three's Company]]''. When her outrageous salary demands for the 1980 season weren't met, she went on strike. For the rest of the season, she wouldn't attend the usual tapings on set. The producers wouldn't fire her until the next season, so her character "moved away" but still appeared one minute per episode, in a phone conversation with another character. The "you amateurs" bad blood was also present, but in the other direction: John Ritter and Joyce DeWitt were furious over this stunt and refused to speak to her. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 15:32, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

== Nothing ==

Is Bubs' mention of not having thumbs really a reference to lack of visible appendages? He is openly saying he does not have them, and has not, in my memory, been involved in any instances of manipulation that would specifically require thumbs. If it were about invisible fingers I could maybe see a reference. Perhaps Bubs just has stumps that can manipulate objects, much like The Cheat, who receives no such referential treatment

== Powered by The Cheat music? ==

The music you hear as Original Bubs walks away sounds something related to Powered-by-The-Cheat cartoons. I was considering making this bit rewritten as follows:
''{Original Bubs walks away as Powered-by-The-Cheat-esque music is playing. ......}''
I've added ellipses just to save some space for anymore headlines/replies.
