:::Homestar has teeth, and that's weird...but am I the only one that noticed that <b>Strong Mad's and Homestar Runners </b> teeth are drawn in ALMOST the same way? (Strong Mad's teeth are somewhat bigger.}

==Whyyyy??==
It seems like every new e-mail nowadays has a little part of an e-mail that I sent- but mine never really gets answered! Like, a while ago, I sent Strong Bad an email about getting a talkshow- now he has one? Ahhh!!! {{User:Cutepetsrus/sig}} 11:44, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
: Well, I did ask him about a theme song once... however, it was a ''personal'' theme song, and before [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]] came out (which sorta answered the question.) And I asked him a question relating to [[alternate universe]]s, but again, it wasn't really related to the 'toon in question when I asked it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 12:31, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

==Strong Bad e-mail will be right back...==
The person who said Strong Bad e-mail will be right back after these messages was clearly not Mike or Matt or Missy. Could it have been Jackie? {{User:Cutepetsrus/sig}} 11:44, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

After a brief listen to the seniorprom outtake, I think that it was Missy, without being 100% sure.[[User:Lord-z|Lord-z]] 12:15, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

:Sounded like Missy/Marzy to me. {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 15:13, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

::Yeah, that's what I thought, but isn't Marzi's voice a bit more 'squeaky'? If you know what I mean... [[User:InvaderJem]]

::: Homestar and Strong Bad are done by the same voice actor, but sound almost nothing alike. I don't think it was meant to be Marzipan, specifically, but probably Missy. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:50, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
::::<s>I was watching the DVD today trying to pin it. What gives it away as the other Mrs. Chapman to me is the inflection on "Strong Bad Emails" at the end of the announcement. But that's just me.</s> Oh, oh! Um, nevermind. Uh... --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|double pants.]] 04:49, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

If you pitch-shift it down, it sounds similar to Mike... not exactly the same, but similar... the accent's a bit different though. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:55, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

To me, it sounds like Imitation Strong Bad from the Imitation Strong Bad Emails on the fanstuff wiki.

== Easter Egg ==

They only put in one easter egg. I'm letting them get away with this for one reason: There is NOTHING more fun than making The Cheat's tooth do the Shaheeeeeen effect.

When Strong Bad says "south of the border flavor", wouldn't this mean the Free Country USA is above Canada? [[User:Nintendogs123|Nintendogs123]]

Well, darn. [[User:Nintendogs123|Nintendogs123]]


Actually, this could refer to Windsor, Ontario, which is actually due south of its USA border with Detroit, Michigan.

== Well, There Go My Hopes... ==

I sent in an email talking about theme songs to Strong Bad, and when it said "theme song" on the main page, my heart fricken skipped a beat. But alas, it wasn't mine. Dang you and your shiny last name Shaween! - {{User:Homsar7/sig}}

:I know what you mean, I used to send Strong Bad many emails about what he would be like in a Japanese Cartoon, and one snowy January afternoon, I saw a sbemail titled "Japanese Cartoon" and just about crapped my pants, but stupid James Fffffffff stole my idea.-[[User:Sly Kly|Sly Kly]]

== Inside References and the Trivia section ==

A great deal of the Inside References are referring to the credits. I put up a couple internal links in the credits, but should I move more of them? Or take them out and let Inside References continue to be huge?
:Could Tim Timmers be a reference to Tip Tappers?
::What do you mean by reference?  [[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]]

==That hit the nail on the head==

I really don't like the fact that many shows go to commercials right after the intro, then have this thing that tells you they'll be right back. You could've told us that ''before'' you went to commercials. Also, I don't like the distorted end credis and muted end song just to advertize what's next. Can't they wait until after the credits?

The one thing they didn't do was those annoying popup ads some TV shows seem to have nowadays. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 16:22, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt this the first time we see his teeth? We put marzipan's first teeth-sighting in whatever article that was, so i think we should do it for homestar too.  --[[User:TrogdorTSL|Tyler]] 20:55, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Probably unnotable for the main page, but it's interesting that both the Nevilles and the Marsalises are native to New Orleans. Thought I'd just mention it here. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:18, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

== Fact Merge ==

# In the theme song we see a close-up on how Strong Bad types with boxing gloves.
# The email shown in the first theme song asks Strong Bad to draw Trogdor again – one of the commonly sent emails that will not be answered. 

We could probably merge that into one, seeing as they are both emails that will not be answered (explaining how Strong Bad types with his boxing gloves and redoing an old e-mail). My suggestion: "Seeing how Strong Bad types with his boxing glove, and an e-mailer asking Strong Bad to redo an e-mail are both examples of e-mails that will never be answered". Somebody better at Wikipedianese will have to rewrite that. [[User:Swimma Dan|Swimma Dan]] 23:38, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
:Strong Bad typing with boxing gloves on is not a reference to emails asking him about it. It's simply what he does. {{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:21, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

:This does not actually show how Strong Bad types with boxing gloves on.  It merely shows that he does.  If you watch a magician saw a woman in half, it doesnt show how he does it, only that he "did". -JamesDean

:Then the fact is still wrong, because it says we see how, but in actuality we just see that he does. [[User:Swimma Dan|Swimma Dan]] 14:12, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

:is this the first time weve seen sb type with glove on from the side? the other times have been from his perspective, i think..{{User:Csours/sig}} 14:59, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

== The lighter side of fun facts ==

Should the Mad magazine or the sports show reference be the one used? There are four possible votes.

* Mad, as it's more prevalent
* Sports show, as it's a closer match to title
* Both, as there are arguments for both
* Neither, TTATOT

Thoughts? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:59, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

:The sports show's title is a perfect match. And I believe TBC have made many more sports references than MAD references. So I think the sports show is definitely the winner here. I also believe it should be included, as most non-Americans won't have heard of the show (like me).{{User:Loafing/sig}} 04:46, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
::I am an American, and I've never heard of the sports show. But my friends and I all read Mad. I think we need more voices. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:05, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
:::Here's an argument I presented in a summary, but not in talk: both are important to list because one is a precise title match BUT is only seen in 75% of the US. THe other we can safely assume is a very likely influence on TBC, but is a weaker match. As we don't know, it's foolish to asume it's one or the other. As an afterthought, it's also likelier than not this TV show's title was also inspired by the magazine feature, as the Berg cartoon series predates it by decades. I don't think there's a more responsible course of action but to list both as we have done. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:10, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
::::An interesting thing is that at first, the Lighter Side feature in Mad would cover one topic (like hair, or love, or whatever) but then later switched to covering a bunch of topics at once. --[[User:ComputerBox|ComputerBox]] 03:39, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

== Casper Theme ==

I feel the first theme song sounds more like the theme song to the original "Casper" cartoon than the Barney Theme... or is this my imagination? "Casper, the friendly ghost..." --Tempestryder
*I can kind of hear the Casper similarity, but honestly I think it just has a generic sing-song tone.  I removed the Barney reference. [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 07:19, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
== Degrees of Separation ==

==Spelling of "Gip"==
Hi, 

Please see http://www.answers.com/topic/gyp (and to be fair also see http://www.answers.com/topic/gip) 

Will you allow my edit of [[theme song]] to stick now? 

Thanks [[User:198.49.180.40|198.49.180.40]] 00:20, 8 August 2006 (UTC) 

:I see your comment in the themesong page. Why don't you note that what SB typed is a mis-spelling? Other transcripts do that. "Gyp" is a slur, related to Gypsies' reputation as thieves. That's why "gyp" is the correct spelling. [[User:198.49.180.40|198.49.180.40 00:24]], 8 August 2006 (UTC)

:::Sure. But the second [http://www.answers.com/topic/gip] doesn't say anything about it (this meaning). "Gip" is obviously not considered a canonical spelling of this particular term by the American Heritage Dictionary, but variant instead. Why don't we add it to the transcript with the note about SB's variant spelling? [[User:198.49.180.40|198.49.180.40]] 8 August 2006 (UTC) 
::::That first link you gave is GIP in all caps. Did you see this article [http://www.answers.com/topic/gip-1]? Variants are not misspellings, and are not really important to note. [[User:So makey outy|So makey outy]] 01:01, 8 August 2006 (UTC) 
:::It is also questionable that "gyp" really is a slur (see the [[Wiktionary:Gyp|Wiktionary]], though as we discovered earlier today, "gip" is actually not present there for some reason.) We had this discussion earlier today. At any rate, Strong Bad actually types the word "gipped", and according to our [[HRWiki:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]], what Strong Bad types is what we type, whether misspelled, nonsensical, or contrary to what he actually says (though in that last case, we also note what he actually says.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:46, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

== Don't delete it, STUFF it (Roma Fun Fact: Real World References) ==


JAY:

Do you have some specific agenda against this subject, or, do you just not think the Fun Fact is true or notable?

It's not fair for you to take it upon yourself to determine its validity. Please either put it back or STUFF it so all can weigh in.

FYI everybody else:

Jay deleted the following from Real World References in Fun Facts.

* "Gipped" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Roma_people#Roma_and_crime|Roma]] ethnic group, who have been stereotyped for centuries as "thieving Gypsies".

::: Besides: You are wrong. This hasn't been discussed however many ways to whatday. This is a Fun Fact proposal.

:::::::::I have a "rollback" button to revert edits; that's what created the nonspecific "reverted" summary.

I would like to point out that it only makes sense to mention that "gipped" is an ethnic slur if we believe that the Brothers Chap did mean it that way. But as the annony said himself, this meaning might not be obvious to Americans, i.e. the Brothers Chap. Furthermore, they also used the less obvious "gipped" instead of "gypped", giving us even less reason to believe they meant it that way. I myself am not willing to accuse them of ethnic slander on the basis of such brittle assumptions.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:18, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

: I don't agree. It makes sense to mention it because it's a point of cultural significance, not because TBC '''know''' it's a slur or '''meant''' it as such. Furthermore it's an opportunity to educate. I'm not accusing anyone of insensitivity, I'm trying to bring it to light so ignorance isn't perpetuated. If my kid followed Strong Bad's example, I'd want him to know what he's really saying. Same with anyone who reads hrwiki.org. Believe me, countless Fun Facts are far less "notable" and far, far, far more '''obvious'''. And this '''would not''' be the first Fun Fact that TBC might not have known about. Far from it - accepted, notable Fun Facts are '''full''' of stuff that they didn't think of ahead of time. Of course, they're also full of stuff they '''did''' think of.

::I agree with Jay, Trey56, Cute Pets R Us, and Loafing. The fact is it's very unlikely that TBC meant an ethnic slur. I have grown up with this word my whole life and didn't know until very recently (when I needed to know how to spell it) that it had any (possible) connection whatsoever with gypsies. If they didn't mean it other than the standard "swindled", then it's just not notable what the etymology is. Strong Bad calls Strong Sad a dork all the time, but we don't for a second believe that TBC are referring to the real meaning of that word. &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:30, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

The fact remains: unless you (198 or anyone else) can provide a source to support your stance that "gypped" is derived from "gypsy", to counter the [http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-gyp1.htm link that has been mentioned several times], then it's ''not'' going to be a Fun Fact... we just don't quote things as ''fact'' that are in question among academics. And no, a link like [http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=gyp this one] that just says "probably short for Gypsy" doesn't count... it's just an assertion, no actual evidence, and it still restrains it with "probably". If you do find one then it'll probably go to STUFF, since it becomes just a purely "is this notable" debate, but before then it's a discussion of facts and belongs on a talk page. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 22:51, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

I'd just like to add my two cents here, it seems to me that it was not intended as a slur, and is pretty obscure entymology for a fun fact, and could set a bad precedent (to give a random example, having a later fact stating that hooligan is a word that is comparing the person to a career criminal from the 1890s [[wikipedia:Hooliganism|Hooliganism]] which would have equal validity to this fact) [[User:DumbMuscle|DumbMuscle]] 20:23, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

== Based on the comedy of... ==

I don't think that's just a reference to Jerry Seinfeld. I'm pretty sure that phrase is used on and about other sitcoms centered around a character played by a stand up comedian; I know they say "based on the comedy of Ray Romano" in the credits of Everybody Loves Raymond, and I've heard the phrase "based on the comedy of Bernie Mac" used in regards to The Bernie Mac Show. And then they used the phrase "based on the comedy of Gollum" on Saturday Night Live in the credits of the fictional sitcom "A Hard Hobbit to Break". but that last one's just the cough of a metaphorically dying poster who realizes he only has two barely credible citations for his argument. Then again, these could just be a few isolated events and my comments shall be criticized until destruction. {{User:VolatileChemical/sig}} 02:30, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

:As I wrote that Fun Fact, let me respond. Yes, ELR uses a similar credit. But this credit happens as Strong Bad is in front of a red brick wall. That's a direct reference to ''Seinfeld'', clearly. Why then would the credit be a generic reference when it's deliberately coupled with a specific one? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:48, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

::I've also heard the phrase used for "Home Improvement", "Lucky Louie", "Schimmel", "Everybody Hates Chris", "The George Lopez Show", "I Love Lucy", "Fat Albert" and even "Merv the Perv" on Saturday Night Live. A simple Google search will show anyone that people use this phrase tons of times unrelated to Jerry Seinfeld! It may be a partial reference in the email seeing as the phrase is also used referring to "Seinfeld" but not completely! {{User:VolatileChemical/sig}} 12:30, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

==Live Studio Audience==
Does anyone else feel it's worth mentioning that this is the second time that the claim has been made that Strong Bad Emails are filmed before a live studio audience?  Strong Bad said that at the begining of super powers.--[[User:71.14.74.35|71.14.74.35]] 17:49, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

:Second ocurrences usually aren't worth noting.

[[User:So makey outy|So makey outy]] 00:30, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

::I'd say "unnotable" at this point. The [[super powers]] line was a one-off, and this one was clearly a reference to TV shows. If it occurs again, perhaps then it'll be notable. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:16, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

== Unaired pilot? ==

The reference to 'the best clips they show are from the un-aired pilot that you'll never see' reminds me of Firefly. The opening sequence of that was filled with clips from the show's pilot which wasn't aired, and Strong Bad is floating in space as he says it, which also resembles Firefly's pilot.

: I agree.  I expected to see this on the Article page as an Outside Reference, but maybe it's too vague a reference for that.

::I think it is. I can't think of titles, but i know there are a number of shows where this is true, especially in the first season of the show where there's little footage to choose from. It would be TTATOT to include a specific reference, and anything more general is simply restating what SB said. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:24, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

:::'Sides, Firefly's pilot actually was aired on most Fox/SciFi affiliates that were actively showing it; it was just aired last.  This according to Joss's commentary on several of the episodes and, (IIRC) his discussions of the show in general on the extras of the DVD box set.  It's common enough not to air a pilot that this seems more like a reference to the television industry than a specific reference to Firefly.

I don't get it. What IS it a reference of anyway? --[[User:68.145.103.189|68.145.103.189]] 19:04, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

It's obviously a reference to the closing credits of Muppet Babies, where Kermit and Piggy are shown floating in space exactly the way Strong Bad is floating. See a copy of the ending credits here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=QTZa2GmRRF8 . I grew up watching Muppet Babies, and I never ever saw an episode with that scene in it. In fact, I remember always being annoyed that I never saw an episode with it in it. 

It could also be a reference to Aqua Teen Hunger Force, where the theme song has a bunch of cool scenes that were never in an episode.

This also happened with Heroes; the pilot is just now being released on DVD with the rest of the first season

== period + e = New button? ==

While singing the opening theme, when Strong Bad types the .exe to 'brow-ser', you only hear him hitting the keyboard three times. But, he types in 4 letters. The '.', the two 'e's, and the 'x'.

This is not a STUFF question, because it's still a question of whether we are interpreting the toon correctly, not whether it's a fun enough fact. Specifically, the issue is whether we believe Strong Bad is referring to himself or us. I believe he's referring to us and our browsers, not his email client.

The "fun fact" that Levert Burtmore is a reference to Levar Burton has been reverted several times, and probably will be again. See, if you look at the link [[Levert Burtmore]] (which is in Inside Refs, IIRC) you'll see this is a case of Inside Reference. Yes, normally we don't refer to something that is in itself a reference, but this is a gray one where it's more likely than not they are not directly referencing ol' Geordie LaForge but are referring to their own parody of the name from [[dullard]]. I don't like to pull rank, but in this case, trust me. I've seen everything on the site many times, and this is for sure a reference to their own creation, not to the actor. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:09, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

== E-niversity E-volution E-day ==

I didn't want to add this because it was not very solid, but E-day is a term used for the day Japanese-Americans were evacuated from the West Coast into inland internment camps.  This could also be the reason for the line, "Uh, well, today. That last one didn't quite work out."  Japanese internment is looked back on as a major breach of civil rights, so one might say it "didn't quite work out."

:Uhm, what? The HRWiki has a strict policy on vandalism and there are almost no cases where vandalism stays for long. I took the liberty to look through every single edit done on the page, and I see absolutely no vandalism on this page. If you could point to certain sections where you believe there is vandalism, I'd be happy to help. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 15:49, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
::In addition to what Catjaz said, if you're referring specifically to the line you quoted in the heading and for some reason think that might be vandalism, perhaps you ought to actually WATCH the toon first to see whether that line is vandalism or really in the toon. (Hint: It is.) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:21, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

== Scurge of the skies ==

I'd like to bring {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=theme_song&diff=prev&oldid=747137 this edit}} into question.  I understand that the spelling has been on the page since the dawn of time, but where does the spelling originate?  Even if [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/scurge wikitionary] and [http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=scurge ud] have entries, it's a very seldom-used and nonstandard spelling of a name found in a voiceover.  There has to be some explainable reason why it's spelled the way it is. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 21:51, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
:I know this is a terribly subjective reason, but to me, it's the spelling that looks most like a name, rather than a random word from a dictionary. I don't even recall making that edit. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:00, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

== DuckTales reference? ==

"And of course the best clips they show are from the un-aired pilot that you'll never see."

while a clip of Strong Bad in space plays.

This reminds me of the DuckTales intro which also has clips from shows that never aired or didn't exist, like the part where Scrooge McDuck is floating in space chasing a dollar bill.
:I doubt it. I think it's common in many theme songs, and it was simply a reference to that phenomenon in general. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 04:08, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
