Revision as of 21:02, 5 September 2006
A few of the characters, as well as their equivalents (1936, 20X6, etc) do not have legible speech, or never talk at all, but we are still able to understand what they mean, either roughly through their actions and facial expressions, through other characters reactions or translations, or through subtitles. All of the other characters are able to understand them, though. However, it is unknown how they are able to understand them.
Examples
- The Cheat- Only speaks in squeaks. In cheat talk, after failing to get The Cheat to say something normal like "Douglas", he suggests we have to learn how to "speak The Cheat". In an Easter egg in that email, you listen to a recording of "how to speak The Cheat". His 1936 version, The Sneak, speaks only by wiggling his nose.
- The Poopsmith- It is claimed that he as "taken a vow of silence". In different town, Strong Bad says that "the Poopsmith could talk". He talks in the email, but only in Strong Bad's vision and also with a surprisingly deep voice. This voice is later hinted at during a dance. His 1936 version, The Devil, does not speak either.
- Pom Pom- Only speaks in bubbles, as well as all the other Poms. Despite that, he is constantly on his cell phone talking to his many girlfriends. Due to that his girlfriends have Pom-like heads, they probably speak Pom as well, though when they giggle it sounds more like a human.
