The Sticky Notes article looks to be a mess right now with out of order listings and non-standardized listings (things like "<nowiki>In [[vacation]],</nowiki>" instead of "<nowiki>Email [[vacation]] &mdash;</nowiki>").  I would fix it myself, except I don't have time right now and big changes are suggested to wait until consensus is reached on the talk page. &mdash; [[User:Ngamer01|Ngamer01]] 19:36, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Inside Joke/Running Gag

Lately I have been getting confused about the difference between an Inside Joke and a Running Gag. I thought Inside Jokes were only used a few times. The sticky notes have been used many times. Are you sure it is an inside joke?--Martin925 13:59, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Runnig gag is usualy something that is done or mentioned several times. Like Kicking The Cheat, or Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning. Their funnynes come from their repetation. Inside jokes are little nitpicks that if viewd in context, thei're funny. Like $11.01 or Tooty-two. Elcool (talk)(contribs) 18:25, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)
Personally, I'd say Running Gags can often be a subset of Inside Jokes. I guess the important part is that a "gag," is, by definition, funny. Strong Bad kicking The Cheat is funny, at least as slapstick, the first time you see it; it's just that its humor increases as you discover its actually a systemic reference. $11.01, on the other hand, isn't funny at all the first time you see it. —notstrongorbad 02:50, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "DORKS!" Sticky Note

The following discussion was originally on Talk:"DORKS!" Sticky Note before it was decided to merge that article with this one.
I believe this is possibly overstepping the line of us allowing one-time items to have separate articles. I mean honestly, a sticky note? With its own page? — Lapper (talk) 02:49, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

This is not a good page. It barely even plays a role in invisibility and it only plays a little role in vacation. I'm up for merge or a deletion. User talk:Sam the Man Sam the Man
In response to lapper, i think that there's only one or two places where one time items need their own page, if ever. (In related news, the blue ones has got to go) Definitely delete. DeFender1031 12:59, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article needing a cleanup?

The Sticky Notes article looks to be a mess right now with out of order listings and non-standardized listings (things like "In [[vacation]]," instead of "Email [[vacation]] —"). I would fix it myself, except I don't have time right now and big changes are suggested to wait until consensus is reached on the talk page. — Ngamer01 19:36, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
