(re-revertd; not trying to start a revert-war here, but: to suggest that the mere *mention* of homosexuality is not "family friendly" is... to say the VERY least... just your opinion)

I perceived the joke to be that the mystery voice first seemed to belong to a stereotypical gay man, and then we the audience are chided for having thought that when it is revealed that it belongs to a woman...  anybody else take it that way?

:I don't think that's what's intended. The reason it sounds a bit like a man with a high voice rather than a woman likely has nothing to do with stereotypes of gay men, but rather with the fact that it's voiced by a man (i.e., Matt). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:40, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Seperate Lady?

Shouldn't Lady have her own page?

I don't think so. She's not really separate from Shut Up. --DorianGray 20:32, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
She's a lady and Strong Bad tells her to "Shut up". Ergo, "Shut Up, Lady". She's part of the gag and a separate article would be a violation of Once and Only Once. – The Chort 20:52, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, as a recurring character, she should have a page. Perhaps it could be merged with this one?

She's never appeared outside of this gag, hence, they are one and the same. — Defender1031*Talk 17:18, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
There is no single lady. The lady who thinks that dead Strong Bad is peaceful doesn't sound like the lady who comments that things are sinful. -- Mithent 19:09, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Nor does the lady who says the Biscuitdoughhandsman paper towel is exorbitantly absorbent. DEI DAT VMdatvm center\super contra

Possible joke

I perceived the joke to be that the mystery voice first seemed to belong to a stereotypical gay man, and then we the audience are chided for having thought that when it is revealed that it belongs to a woman... anybody else take it that way?

I don't think that's what's intended. The reason it sounds a bit like a man with a high voice rather than a woman likely has nothing to do with stereotypes of gay men, but rather with the fact that it's voiced by a man (i.e., Matt). Heimstern Läufer 05:40, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
