[edit] Ja What?

...all right, I've removed that silly "Ja" fact like, three times, and it keeps getting added back. What *is* the big deal here? Considering it's not actually a real word, and that Schenkel McDoo's grasp of the English language is tenuous at best, this fact seems pointless and demeaning. Should we put a fun fact in buried about how when he says "Yold Ones Vry" at the end, he actually means "Cold Ones Dry"? Some of these so-called "facts" are so ridiculously nitpicky it's not funny. -YK 23:53, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Are you aware of the linguistic relation between /y/ and /j/? - Qermaq - (^T/C)

23:55, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Ja, but that's really not the issue. "Yah" is perfectly acceptable; I've seen it spelled this way before. It isn't a glaring error that especially needs to be pointed out, because it's really not much more "incorrect", IMO, than Catsup/Ketchup. But let's be serious here. When you consider McDoo uses "Yah" in another line along with "Yold Ones Vry", which isn't proper grammar no matter *how* you look at it, it seems, as I said, excessively nitpicky. That, and I think TBC is allowed to make their characters talk as they want. But eh. -YK

00:00, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Apart from YK's rant, he has a point. It borders on speculation to assume that he was actually saying "ja". Admittedly, a word meaning "yes" fits there, and he does have a foreign name and accent ("Ja" actually means "yes" in at least 7 languages [1], most notably German - which would also match his accent). In my opinion, it's speculation, and a discussion here on the talk page is all the documentation we need. Loafing

00:01, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

...this wouldn't be the first time I've complained about some of us being a tad bit too nitpicky here... -YK

00:11, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Given that Taranchula are clearly portrayed as Scandinavian, I don't think it's at all unreasonable to speculate that they were saying "ja". I wouldn't call spelling it "yah" a goof, but I think noting that the real Scandinavian word is "ja" is worthwhile. Heimstern Läufer

04:24, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Oops, I didn't know they were Scandinavian. OK, now the fact makes perfect sense and it should be noted somewhere! Loafing

[edit] Marshieween

I think the quote's from Marshieween. Awexome 22:25, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] help with syncing

I can't get the quotes to sync from itunes to my ipod. anyone know how to do that? --Shaggy 18:06, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Quote download

Am I alone in this? I tried to listen to the QOTW (Sweetness Sweetness) but I cannot get it to play. I have a new computer, but the archived MP3's work fine, just not the one on the official site. Any ideas? (Windows Vista) - Qermaq - (^T/C) 02:14, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

You having trouble with Hear It or Get It? (I have Vista, and I can get both to play just fine.) --Jay (Gobble) 02:17, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm running into some weirdness too. I go to the main page, and the current quote of the week is the grocery list thing ("Amazing thing, amazing thing," etc.). If I follow the link from the wiki to Strong Sad's "Sweetness, Sweetness" quote, I get a blank black page titled "Oops! You bwoke it." I suspect it may have been taken down? --DeathbyChiasmus 02:55, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm having the same problem (Mac OS X 10.5.x). I've even tried using a different browser and clearing cache. I am wondering if there is some weird cacheing somewhere along the line, rather than a local problem. wbwolf (t | ed) 03:11, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Same problem here. Windows XP, btw. But by doing proxy surfing I was able to hear it. Strange, strange, strange. Even hours later I can't get to http://www.homestarrunner.com/weeklies/ss_sweetness.mp3. It just tells me I bwoke it. =]

OptimisticFool 07:00, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm still getting a 404 from it, too.— Bassbone (^TALK

^CONT) 04:55, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Jay: On the site it works great. From this article it does not. - Qermaq - (^T/C)

05:43, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

I cannot see the new QotW on the official site at all. It's still Homestar's grocery list. I've cleared my cache twice.— Bassbone (^TALK

^CONT) 07:22, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

I am having the same problem as bassbone, i've cleared my cache 3 times but it's still the grocery list. it works fine in my PS3 web browser, but not my PC. hazzard4123 17:23, 21 June 2008

Well, I guess whatever happened is over now. MichaelXX2 01:44, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

This all seems to be more evidence for my theory that H*R is hosted on more than one server, with a load-balancer or something, and they don't always keep them in sync properly... things like this, the lime in Let us give TANKS!, passwords on .exe files like the screensavers... sometimes they work, sometimes they don't, depends what server you're hooked up to. --phlip ^T_C 08:57, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "if" vs. "of it"

I think that we should still put "of it" instead of "it" in the newest QotW because that is what Bubs said. The Brothers Chaps of course didn't mean to put "if". Plus I already mentioned this mistake in Goofs. Homestar-Winner (talk) 19:41, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Archive?

This page is getting awfully long. 73 kilobytes, to be exact. Should we employ some archiving here? I was thinking a style similar to the Weekly Fanstuff or Sketchbook. -- Super Martyo boing! 01:05, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

It's been mentioned before here. Heimstern Läufer

01:08, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Newest quote mirror

A message mainly for Tom, did you know that there still is no mirror mp3 of the newest Crack Stuntman quote? Homestar-Winner (talk) 02:56, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Get Smart Reference?

"We are just talkin' about Bubs with a piece of paper stapled to his face, right?" — In the recent Get Smart movie, Agent 23, played by The Rock, staples a piece of paper to another agent's face. I think this may well be a reference, though it's hard to prove it. — Defender1031*Talk 20:06, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Well, this quote seems to be a Happy Dethemberween blooper, which was made before Get Smart came out. So, this would be very unlikely. Homestar-Winner (talk) 20:51, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps. But i have long felt that it's possible that some of the supposed "outtakes" are actually made after the fact. — Defender1031*Talk 21:33, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Mmm, I dunno. And so, any thinking so would just be speculation, right? Homestar-Winner (talk) 02:36, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Alternate link

I already did this, but is it okay to put up an alternate link to download the fist two QOWs with since we have no mirror to it? MichaelXX2 18:46, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

I removed them. As before, I doubt the authenticity of those recordings. The quality is very poor, lower than in the actual toons themselves. They appear to be recorded by someone other than the The Brothers Chaps. How did you find them? Do you know their source? -- Tom 19:00, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I recorded them myself. I thought they might be of assistance since we don't have a link...

— MichaelXX2

[edit] Download Help

I can't get any of these to download because I have Quicktime, which only allows downloads through a paid version that I don't have. Anyone know how to make Quicktime NOT the default download choice? Shaggy, who is currently not signed in.

If you right-click on the links in the list here, you should get a menu that you can choose "Save link" or "Save target" or similar... that should save straight to disk, rather than going through QuickTime. As for disabling QT completely (so that you could download them from the H*R site, for instance), I'm not sure... but it'd help to know what version of QuickTime you have, which browser (Internet Explorer? Firefox? Which version?) and which OS (Windows? Mac? Linux? Again, which version?). --phlip ^T_C 07:05, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

It's QT version 7.5.5, Internet Explorer, and WindowsXP. And the "Save target" worked, so thanks :)--Shaggy | talk 08:07, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Other

I don't know the source of the latest quote. Someone fix it please. Thanks! —Mas12806 (talk·contribs) 01:09, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

I believe it's a Most in The Graveyard outtake.

What does it have to do with Most in the Graveyard? Omnisweater 02:46, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Reanimation. --Belthazar 03:04, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Quote of the a few weeks

Has anyone noticed that the gaps btw qods are getting bigger? Seriously, they haven't changed it since, what, like Nov. 20? 'Tsup widdis?--Lifty Fernandez

It's most probably the same as any of the other delays in emails and toons and so on: working on the game or the recent DVD. --DorianGray 22:07, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

People have also noticed that the current quote is broken and has been for weeks, right? On the day the quote was originally going to have been switched out there was indeed a new quote there, briefly. Strangely it switched back within 6 hours and broke itself, and it hasn't been tended to since. --74.170.121.220 22:17, 14 January 2009 (EST)

[edit] Best quote of the week ever

Which quote of the week do you think is the coolest? Vote now, to stop this raging conflict. P.S. My favorite is "the hold music" from isp

Take this to the forum. And it's seriously not noice to lie about raging conflicts. BBG 00:29, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Quote of the Week "exclusive"

Should we really call every quote that seems to be an outtake of some toon but we can't tell which toon an "exclusive" quote? Most of what are currently known as QotW Exclusives seem to be outtakes. I think we should change them all to "Unknown", except for a few that really are exclusive quotes, like "This is the Quote of the Day!" one. Homestar-Winner (talk) 23:50, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeah. These quotes are probably all being produced for some-or-other toon; we just don't know which ones. Is there any room for speculation? For example, a recent filename was "patcheer_yearbook.mp3", suggesting that it came from TGS14 and that the guy was Patchbeard. In this particular case, I wouldn't have realized this unless someone had suggested it. — It's dot com 01:34, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

I read that as "Pat Cheer yearbook" implying that it's some guy named pat. Still, it's clearly a yearbook inscription and thus clearly from TGS 14. — Defender1031*Talk 11:01, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Patchbeard. Still speculation. Still works. — It's dot com 20:44, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

So does anyone object to changing all of the "Quote of the Week exclusive"s to "Unknown"s? Homestar-Winner (talk) 21:02, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] How much xanthan gum can a fella take?

Would anyone be interested in adding "bulgar" and "xanthan gum" in the Explanations section? --69.19.14.29 15:41, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Career Day?

This weeks quote of the week sounds suspiciously like an outtake or deleted scene from Career Day, rather than a quote of the week exclusive. —Guard Duck ^talk 00:09, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

It could be, in theory, but where's the evidence? --Jay (Gobble) 00:28, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Sounds to me like Homestar is answering one of Marzipan's questions asked during class. Homestar-Winner (talk) 00:58, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

I would have to agree; the general tone of Homestar's voice (more childish than usual) as well as what he's saying (also more childish than usual) suggests it. --97.113.163.224 05:49, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

It doesn't sound overly childish to me... no more so than usual anyway... — Defender1031*Talk 06:29, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

I thought it was an outtake for Main Page 20. — It's dot com 19:53, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] One List

The quote of the week page was recently split into several pages for each year (like the Sketchbook and Weekly Fanstuff pages), but I believe it should remain as one long list ~~(okay, technically two, but on one page)~~. The quotes page, while moderately long, is not unbearably so, and the benefits of having all the quotes on one page far outweigh any page-length concerns. Most important is the fact that the tables can be sorted for easy searching and comparison of quotes over several years. (The sketchbook and weekly fanstuff pages are different in that there is no need to sort the tables, and the graphics take up much more space per entry.) — It's dot com 01:02, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

But what about browsers that can't edit pages as long as Quote of the Week? It is just as helpful having the list broken up, if not more. --Thy Not Dennis (^t/_c) 13:32, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Frankly, that seems to be spurious argument. While MediaWiki does complain when a page is too long, I'm not aware of any browser that cannot outright edit the page. The notice is more about a warning to make sure that data is properly kept track of. However, given the layout and nature of the page, I lean towards keeping it as is. wbwolf (t | ed) 14:14, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Then if you wanna keep the QOTW as a long list, then why is the fanstuff divided?--

Record307 ^Talk/_Contribs 15:05, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Because not dividing the Weekly Fanstuff would mean having to temporarily download hundreds of images of every single fanstuff that's ever existed from the server every time you just wanted to see the latest fanstuff. It's easier on your internet connection and speeds up your page viewing if you only need to download the year's fanstuff so far (a fraction of the total), rather than all the fanstuff so far. The Quote of the Week article contains only a dozen or so Character Heads so the images load pretty quickly. The text itself doesn't actually take long to appear in your browser so the amount of text isn't the issue here. But I wonder if the tables could be split up according to year? That way, you would have the choice to only edit the table of the corresponding year in which the quote appeared, instead of the entire table we have at the moment. – T he C hort 18:47, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Breaking it into separate tables would negate the advantage of having them on a single page, namely sorting, as dot com mentioned above. For example, you can sort by the character head, effectively allowing you to easily see all the quotes from a specific character, or by source to group them that way, etc. 64.198.255.1 19:49, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Do you know how much stuff we would have to change template wise to make this big move work out? — MichaelXX2

20:28, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Single ~~duece~~ list! It is easier and no known computer used today (besides the Lappy) is not strong enough to load this page.

As I've said before, the 32kb thing is just a benchmark, nothing more. On Wikipedia, IIRC that message doesn't even mention that some browsers might have problems, or even include the word "Warning". We probably should change the message here to match.

Fanstuff and Sketchbook it makes sense to split up, 'cause each row has its own image... if that was all in one page, there'd be several hundred images to download when you open the page (just look at how long it takes to load, say, Floppy Disk Container over a dialup connection... a one-page Fanstuff or Sketchbook would take even longer to load). The gains you get from paginating those outweigh the loss of sorting... and there's not much to sort on there, anyway. QotW doesn't have that problem - each row has an image, but they're smaller and heavily reused (it only needs to load SB's head once, for instance). And there's more use to be gained from having it all in one sortable table - the "Character head", "Quote" and "Source" columns can all be sorted to group the quotes by the face, who's talking, or which toon it's from.

So, in short: QotW doesn't have the problems that Fanstuff and Sketchbook have that made splitting those pages a good idea, and it does have features that would be made worse by splitting it up. So don't. --phlip ^T_C 23:17, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Well, don't we already have one of these for the sketchbook and the weekly fanstuff? Or, are those a part of the pages themselves? — Stavey the Stupid Hippie 23:06, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Forreally One List

Since the one-list discussion has come up again, how about the other side... What do people think about merging the two lists into one? Just leaving the "Head" column blank for the quotes before they were added... --phlip ^T_C 09:43, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

They're two file types, .zip and .mp3. It's easier to have them in two lists. --Thy Not Dennis (^t/_c) 12:07, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure why the different filetypes should be important... I'm thinking more in terms of why we have it all on one page to begin with – for the sortable tables. There's really nothing special about the quotes themselves that means they should be in a different section... they just happened to be released before some random date that some stuff was changed. --phlip ^T_C 12:10, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

That's a pretty good idea. I went ahead and tried it out. Looks fine to me. — It's dot com 23:21, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Fanstuf QoTW's = "Not" Exclusive

Well, since there have been 2 Fanstuff QoTW's, I believe that they shouldn't be labeled as QoTW exclusives, but as Fanstuff QoTW's. It makes sense, doesn't it? --Darkangel 04:13, 26 June 2009 (UTC) On a side note, whoah, where have I been!?

[edit] July 23, 2009

I see that the most recent quote of the week has been labeled "Quote of the Week exclusive". I think it should say "imaginary outtake". is there any way to determine if a quote actually is an outtake from the toon, or can i just go ahead and change it? The Knight s Who Say Ni 17:28, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Go ahead. This is quite obviously a reference to his line in imaginary. --66.29.169.1 17:49, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

I wasn't really thinking when I wrote that. It probably is an outtake. free 18:36, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

I was thinking. There are a number of quotes like this labeled as an "outtake" when they're really more like alternatives to what was actually said. Could "alternative" be added as a category?--Shaggy | talk 22:03, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

That's what an outtake is, an alternate take that wasn't used. Calling something an outtake doesn't signify anything about the quality of the take, only about whether it's part of the finished product. In other words, outtakes don't have to be bloopers. — It's dot com 00:43, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] It's here!

It's still cut off for me. I even restarted my network service on Linux, and still it cuts off! Cold Reactive 12:12, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, it's working poifecly fine for me. Homestar-Winner (talk) 15:55, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

It's been cutting me off too. "It's here! IT'S HERE-" I wonder what's going on?--66.29.169.1 16:04, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

We're aware of this problem. I believe Dot com's looking into it. Everything is probably fine; nothing is probably ruined. Heimstern Läufer

16:05, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

I went ahead and mirrored a known good version. This is likely another instance of unsynchronized multiple servers. — It's dot com 23:50, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for all the fish!

Cold Reactive 00:36, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

it's fixed, it's fixed, it's fina-lully fixed 75.67.225.156 14:21, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Determining the status of a quote

How do you guys decide whether a quote is an outtake, a blooper, an extended take, an exclusive, etc.? Neox ONION BUBS! 00:38, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Its pretty simple. an Blooper is when they say a line, but there's an obvious mess-up. An outtake is when they say a line, but use a few different words. An extended take is when in the toon, not the whole sentence is completed, but the QOTW is. And, exclusive is when we've never heard it before. Simple. StrongAwesome74 00:47, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

To clarify:

outtake: Any take that is not used in the final product. We use the label outtake when none of the more-specific labels below will do, and items with that label are typically takes that feature an alternate wording from what ended up in the toon.
blooper: A specific kind of outtake where someone flubs a line or makes some other mistake.
extended take: A clip where a portion of the audio was part of the toon but the rest was not. The extra portion is included as a bonus.
exclusive: A clip that was prepared especially to be a quote of the week. We used to label more things as exclusive than we do now. Previously, anything we couldn't identify was labeled exclusive, but now we reserve it for things that are unequivocally unique and label everything else as unknown.

It's dot com 04:35, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Stale Cornbread

Bubs's quote that references A Decemberween Pageant on 16 Feb 2006 could not have been an outtake from that cartoon. If you listen closely, his voice is of the newer style, and the quality is much better than the Chaps could have produced during their Cool Edit Pro 'era'. However, the line would make sense in context when replacing his actual line in myths & legends, which was released 3 days earlier, and after his line he does a dance that references Dancin' Bubs, so it probably is from that sbemail.

[edit] Watch those hands, David Coppactuallyfromtheemailandnotanouttake...feel.

I'm just telling you, the QotW, "Hey! Watch those hands, David Coppafeel!" said by Marzipan, are actually from the email and not an outtake. "Let the KOT have some!" sounds like an alternate take more than an actual outtake, since the KOT's line is "Let the king have some!" on the actual email. --h o m_{j e}s_{a n}a rtalk^contr. 22:05, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

The first one you mentioned is clearly an outtake. if you compare the QOTW and the toon, they're very distinctly different. The second one, though also distinctly different sounding, does have different words, so you might be onto something... Strong Awesome

[edit] Mike Chapman's Album?

The Geddup Noise and Cool Tapes "Doley-O" quotes are not only in stereo, but they are also labelled, in the Album section "Mike Chapman's Album". I think the StinkoMetal quote had something like this too. Are there any other stereo and/or Mike Chapman's Album quotes of the weeks? SBE-mail Checker Dan 02:56, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Some odd results? More like, none at all!

Currently the page says that a message will come up when there is no quote in the Flash file. However, it currently shows "undefined" rather than one of the two messages. I have confirmed this as early as 21 December 2009. Is this a glitch, or is it really different and should the page be updated? -- ■■ PURPLE WRENCH ■■ 20:55, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Removal

It doesn't look like the next "weeklies" are ever coming. Should the checklist at the top of the page be removed? (Note that I have also removed the checklist from Talk:Podstar Runner - it was almost certain that the next Podstar Runner toon would never come.) And if sbemail206 doesn't come soon, should the checklist at the top of Talk:Strong Bad Email be removed? Rick Tommy (edits) 07:12, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Why? Even if it takes ten years before the next one comes out, it'll be better to have than checklist there than have to dig through the history to remember what it was. And it's not like it's getting in the way as is. Heimstern Läufer

07:16, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

I completely agree with Heimstern. Almost nothing on the site is being updated, so if you be patient, the weeklies will be useful again. --209.148.176.136 12:06, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Am I imagining things?

Did there used to be a link on this page that, when clicked on, would give you a bulk of past QotWs? I swear I remember this. If so, Where did it go? If not, please call an ambulance. -- Lazylaces Talk 04:53, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

You're not going mad. I can see them too. You're just as sane as I am. -~~Luna Lovegood~~ But really, It's dot com took that out a surprisingly long time ago. I honestly thought it was still there.

05:16, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Are you sure you linked to the correct edit of mine there, if I in fact did what you're talking about? All I did in the linked edit is combine the two lists into one long list. — It's dot com 05:43, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Any time before that edit, there was a link in the Contents box to "Older Quotes" that started at November 11, 2004. It went away when dc made that edit. I believe that's what Lazylaces was talking about. If not, Lazylaces will have to give a more accurate description of "a bulk of past QotWs".

The Knight s Who Say Ni

22:39, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

He's talking about a link to a .zip archive that was maintained for a while by The Paper. It was removed once it was obsolete. — It's dot com 00:25, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

that makes sense. it was kind of before my time, so i wouldn't know. so i'm leaving this discussion.

[edit] Marzipan as Chigurh: outtake or exclusive

An anonny recently changed "Call it, friendo" to be an I Killed Pom Pom outtake, something I was hesitant to do when I originally added the quote. I went ahead and reverted it to a Quote of the Week exclusive. I don't think we can definitively call it an outtake. Based on the finished toon, it doesn't seem having her dress as Chigurh got very far into the planning process, and for all we know it was intended to be a joke from the very beginning. — It's dot com 18:43, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

Change it to "Possible I Killed Pom Pom outtake". There is no definite proof that supports either argument. Maybe this was a quote that got cut when Marzipan's costume was changed. Maybe Marzipan was intended to be Tom Servo from the start. None of us know. Homestar-Winner (talk)|

Well then we shouldn't speculate in that column. The possible I Killed Pom Pom connection is covered by the fun facts. And actually, according to the guide above, we don't know for sure that it's an exclusive, so it should be labeled as unknown. — It's dot com 17:07, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

[edit] Notes column

Down in the fun facts, we note how the quote is related to the sketchbook released the same day. I'm wondering if we should move these notes on specific quotes into their own column up in the table itself. — It's dot com 18:43, 4 November 2014 (UTC)

I actually think that makes more sense than what we're currently doing, so I second the motion. --Jay (Gobble) 19:42, 5 November 2014 (UTC)

[edit] Marking as inactive

I brought this up in an above thread, but now that 1) it's been even longer and 2) @StrongBadActual seems to have replaced the Weeklies, I more strongly believe that the checklist should be ~~removed~~ marked as inactive. Rick Tommy (edits) 01:32, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

I don't see why that would be helpful. We mark some of our internal processes, such as FAS, as inactive because their activity is dependent entirely on our own userbase and will not be restarted without a decision made here. By contrast, usage of our weeklies checklist is based entirely on an external factor and thus its activity or lack thereof is not based on what we do. I don't see any value in marking it inactive. Heimstern Läufer

02:07, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

Concur. Nothing has changed since the last time this was brought up. Maybe there will never be another QotW, but if there is, we've got the procedure ready to go. Removing it does nothing except make us have to look for it when we need it. I'm not sure that we need the inactive label at all, but as long as there could be a new one, this is not inactive. — It's dot com 02:44, 2 October 2017 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. That's exactly what I've said earlier.

+...all right, I've removed that silly "Ja" fact like, three times, and it keeps getting added back. What *is* the big deal here? Considering it's not actually a real word, and that Schenkel McDoo's grasp of the English language is tenuous at best, this fact seems pointless and demeaning. Should we put a fun fact in [[buried]] about how when he says "Yold Ones Vry" at the end, he actually means "Cold Ones Dry"?

+::Ja, but that's really not the issue. "Yah" is perfectly acceptable; I've seen it spelled this way before. It isn't a glaring error that especially needs to be pointed out, because it's really not much more "incorrect", IMO, than Catsup/Ketchup. But let's be serious here. When you consider McDoo uses "Yah" in another line along with "Yold Ones Vry", which isn't proper grammar no matter *how* you look at it, it seems, as I said, excessively nitpicky. That, and I think TBC is allowed to make their characters talk as they want. But eh. -{{User:YK/sig}} 00:00, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
+:::Apart from YK's rant, he has a point. It borders on speculation to assume that he was actually saying "ja".

-larry_fromzeen.zip
+The quote of the week page was recently split into [[:Template:Quote of the Week|several pages<!--feel free to remove this link if it turns red-->]] for each year (like the [[Sketchbook]] and [[Weekly Fanstuff]] pages), but I believe it should remain as one long list <s>(okay, technically two, but on one page)</s>. The quotes page, while moderately long, is not unbearably so, and the benefits of having all the quotes on one page far outweigh any page-length concerns. Most important is the fact that the tables can be sorted for easy searching and comparison of quotes over several years. (The sketchbook and weekly fanstuff pages are different in that there is no need to sort the tables, and the graphics take up much more space per entry.) &mdash; [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:02, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

+::Frankly, that seems to be spurious argument.  While MediaWiki does complain when a page is too long, I'm not aware of any browser that cannot outright edit the page.  The notice is more about a warning to make sure that data is properly kept track of.  However, given the layout and nature of the page, I lean towards keeping it as is. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 14:14, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
+:::Then if you wanna keep the QOTW as a long list, then why is the fanstuff divided?--{{User:Record307/sig}} 15:05, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
+::::Because not dividing the Weekly Fanstuff would mean having to temporarily download hundreds of images of every single fanstuff that's ever existed from the server every time you just wanted to see the latest fanstuff. It's easier on your internet connection and speeds up your page viewing if you only need to download the year's fanstuff so far (a fraction of the total), rather than ''all'' the fanstuff so far. The Quote of the Week article contains only a dozen or so [[Quote of the Week Character Heads|Character Heads]] so the images load pretty quickly. The text itself doesn't actually take long to appear in your browser so the amount of text isn't the issue here. But I wonder if the tables could be split up according to year? That way, you would have the choice to only edit the table of the corresponding year in which the quote appeared, instead of the entire table we have at the moment. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 18:47, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
+:::::Breaking it into separate tables would negate the advantage of having them on a single page, namely sorting, as dot com mentioned above.  For example, you can sort by the character head, effectively allowing you to easily see all the quotes from a specific character, or by source to group them that way, etc. [[Special:Contributions/64.198.255.1|64.198.255.1]] 19:49, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

+::::::: Single <strike>duece</strike> list! It is easier and no known computer used today (besides the Lappy) is not strong enough to load this page.
+:::::::: As I've [[HRWiki:Main Page Talk Archive 22#Too long, Clanky!|said]] [[Talk:Quote of the Week/Archive 2#Sort By Year|before]], the 32kb thing is just a benchmark, nothing more. On Wikipedia, IIRC that message doesn't even mention that some browsers might have problems, or even include the word "Warning". We probably should change the message here to match.
+:::::::: Fanstuff and Sketchbook it makes sense to split up, 'cause each row has its own image... if that was all in one page, there'd be several hundred images to download when you open the page (just look at how long it takes to load, say, [[Floppy Disk Container]] over a dialup connection... a one-page Fanstuff or Sketchbook would take even longer to load). The gains you get from paginating those outweigh the loss of sorting... and there's not much to sort on there, anyway. QotW doesn't have that problem - each row has an image, but they're smaller and heavily reused (it only needs to load SB's head once, for instance). And there's more use to be gained from having it all in one sortable table - the "Character head", "Quote" and "Source" columns can all be sorted to group the quotes by the face, who's talking, or which toon it's from.
+:::::::: So, in short: QotW doesn't have the problems that Fanstuff and Sketchbook have that made splitting those pages a good idea, and it does have features that would be made worse by splitting it up. So don't. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 23:17, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

+How do you guys decide whether a quote is an outtake, a blooper, an extended take, an exclusive, etc.? {{User:Neox/sig}} 00:38, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
-sb_sneakup.zip
+:Its pretty simple. an Blooper is when they say a line, but there's an obvious mess-up. An outtake is when they say a line, but use a few different words. An extended take is when in the toon, not the whole sentence is completed, but the QOTW is. And, exclusive is when we've never heard it before. Simple. [[User:StrongAwesome74|StrongAwesome74]] 00:47, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
+::To clarify:
+::*'''outtake:''' Any take that is not used in the final product. We use the label outtake when none of the more-specific labels below will do, and items with that label are typically takes that feature an alternate wording from what ended up in the toon.
+::*'''blooper:''' A specific kind of outtake where someone flubs a line or makes some other mistake.
+::*'''extended take:''' A clip where a portion of the audio was part of the toon but the rest was not. The extra portion is included as a bonus.
+::*'''exclusive:''' A clip that was prepared especially to be a quote of the week. We used to label more things as exclusive than we do now. Previously, anything we couldn't identify was labeled exclusive, but now we reserve it for things that are unequivocally unique and label everything else as unknown.

+Bubs's [[Quote_of_the_Week#QW-2006-02-16|quote]] that references [[A Decemberween Pageant]] on 16 Feb 2006 could not have been an outtake from that cartoon. If you listen closely, his voice is of the newer style, and the quality is much better than the Chaps could have produced during their Cool Edit Pro 'era'. However, the line would make sense in context when replacing his actual line in [[myths & legends]], which was released 3 days earlier, and after his line he does a dance that references [[Dancin' Bubs]], so it probably is from that sbemail.

-== Very mean and boring ==
-Okay, I can sorta see the [[origins]] outtake ("Why do you... guys...") after it was explained to me, but I cannot see that the "very mean... things" quote came from [[boring (really)]] as was previously stated. It sounds to me like a generic-ized version of what Strong Bad says in just about ''every'' email. And, what's more, SB didn't say anything particularly close to it in b(r). --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:08, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

-#When did the QoW start using character heads?
-#Wasn't the QoW character heads format just homestar's head used regardless of who was saying stuff, if so, when did they start using *different* character heads for their QoW to show the correct head for a quote?

-:I listened to the toon and the QotW at the same time (overlapping), and the words and rhythm are the same.

Now, depending on your sound card, you'll want to find something like "Stereo Mix" or "Mixer" or "Output" or something similar, and either turn on "Select" or turn off "Mute" or something like that. Now when you hit "Record" in Audacity (or any other recording software) it will record whatever your speakers are playing... so click Record, then play the toon, and you'll have the soundtrack. It will take a few goes to get the recording level right, but that's how you do it.

-:Notable.  -[[User:RadSkat3|RadSkat3]] 19:47, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
-:Weak. I've seen the episode, and rather than the Homestar Runner gag being a reference to a similar Simpsons gag, I'd say that they're both references to the fact that "chai tea" and "tai chi" sound amusingly similar for things that are both considered "new age" but have no semantic relationship. I don't think that every joke in Homestar Runner needs to be noted with everyone who's used the joke before; here, there's simply no tie to The Simpsons. I vote, strongly, for baleetion.

-== Latest quote: [[portrait]] outtake? ==
-So I noticed my edit was removed that said the new quote was an outtake from portrait... and the person who changed it back was confused as to my reasoning. Well, what happened was that I downloaded the new quote and played it in iTunes, but in iTunes itself the title of the clip was different than the title of the actual file. It said "sbemail139_5_shadowstevens" as the title, which lead me to believe that the quote was an outtake from email 139. [[User:ComputerBox|Tom H]]
-:Ooh, good call.  And the quote talks about an "artist".  I'm wondering about the "5" part of the file title &mdash; The only alternative interpretation is that the quote belongs to a [[Strong Bad Email#Not Quite Strong Bad Emails|NQSBE]] occurring in between #139 and #140.  I think yours is the more likely interpretation, though (it comes from version 5 of email 139 or something). {{User:Trey56/sig}} 13:50, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
-:: No, you did not answer my question with this. Why would its iTunes name be anything remotely resembling official? That's not its name on the site, and who uploaded it to iTunes anyway. You will have to pardon my ignorance of iTunes, but unless we can be sure it was uploaded by the Bros. Chaps, we really can't call that official. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 15:40, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
-::: The fact that he's using iTunes has very little to do with it. "sbemail139_5_shadowstevens" is the title string in the ID3v2 tag for the official version of the file. iTunes is an mp3 player, as well as an interface to Apple's iTunes store. Any other mp3 player should be able to tell you the same thing. Coincidently, The Bros. Chaps must have used iTunes at some point in the production process, because the Encoded By string in the ID3v2 tag is "iTunes v6.0.4.2". --[[User:209.161.251.134|209.161.251.134]] 19:05, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
-:::: Again, you'll have to pardon my ignorance concerning iTunes. I think I get it now, though. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:13, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
-==Latest quote: 80s rock influence?==
-The style of the music and Marzipan's accent and slang remind me of 80s rock bands that featured a female vocalist, such as Siouxsie and the Banshees.
-:It doesn't even sound like Marzipan's voice to me. Could it be something that someone else made, and sent to TBC, like the real marching band version of the CGNU fight song? But yeah, it's definately very Female-80s-band-esque. -- [[User:Chupaqueso|Chupaqueso]] 03:18, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
-::No, if it was fan-made, I'm sure they'd tell us. Also, it'd be too conveniently timed. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
-:::Yeah, your probably right. But maybe it was someone other than Missy doing the singing? Wait, I just thought of something. What if this QOTW is supposed to be what Cool Tapes would sound like if Marzipan rocked (from Different Town)? -- [[User:Chupaqueso|Chupaqueso]] 22:54, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
-::::Have you people even listened to the clip? That is clearly Missy singing! If it isn't, may lightning strike me down right now! Only before "me", put in "people who disagree with". And how could it be fan-made? Can't you here Strong Mad and The Cheat's ''doley-o'''s ? That's Matt doing their voices, no doubt about it. {{User:VolatileChemical/sig}} 15:41, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
-:::::Just listened to the clip; it doesn't sound much like Missy to me. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 23:50, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
-==loading==
-Does anyone else think that the loading window was only for that one song, and has been removed?  It seemed that way with the last one.  [[User:207.7.187.135|207.7.187.135]] 17:07, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
-:I just noticed the same thing myself. It may have been a one time thing, it may perhaps be kept in reserve only for long quotes, or perhaps those with a greater knowledge of flash could tell me if it's somehow still there, but only triggered on extra large quotes. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 17:47, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
-:I just decompiled it with my flash thing, and even though it's third party and messes everything up when you import, I can't find any hint of the loading screen.  [[User:207.7.187.135|207.7.187.135]] 18:40, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
-::Those last two comments were me in IP form.  I can't find a loading box at all. TBC probably  took it out.  So I'll add that it was on the page.  If anyone has a better flash decompiler and can find it, feel free to add it.  {{User:The Joe/sig}} 16:20, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
-::Sorry if my last comment sounded weird.  What I meant to say was:  I can't find the loading box.  I'm going to write that it doesn't exist. If anyone finds it in the current qotw file, you can revert my edit.  Thank you.  {{User:The Joe/sig}} 16:24, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
-== chumbly wumbly bear ==
-shouldnt the quote be creidited to both What's-Her-Face and The Ugly One? in the transcript they're both singing it - [[User:Superplough|Superplough]] 04:54, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
-:We only credit to whose [[Quote of the Week Character Heads|character head]] shows up in each quote ('cept the old ones from before there were such things). In this case, What's Her Face. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
-ah ok, i didnt even know there WAS someones head that popped up, i only ever get the quotes from the wiki :P [[User:Superplough|Superplough]] 04:59, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
-== Podcast ==
-Hey Guys! youshould have a QotW podcast so it would be easier to load into iTunes! It would be just like tmbw.net's Free tunes podcast! [[User:Finest1]]
-== Going backwards ==
-I've noticed that the qod has gone from the newer back to the new.{{User:The Teach!/Twig}}<br>
-http://www.vulomedia.com/images/53421Qod.png
-==Awesome, just AWESOME!==
-Regarding the "Quote of the Week exclusive" source, it seems to me to more likely be either a [[Cheat Commandos...O's]] outtake ("Fantastic!", "Well that's...just...great!"), or possibly a [[Shopping for Danger]] outtake ("Fan-freaking-tastic!"). But it's hard to say for certain. Any ideas? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:16, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
-:I'm sure it's a teaser for the next Cheat Commandos toon! ;-) {{User:Loafing/sig}} 06:43, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
-::I kind of think it's speculation to call it an outtake at this point. The quote it most closely resembles is "Well, that's... just... great!", but I think the similarity isn't great enough for us to assume it's an outtake of this line. I think we should consider it a QOTW exclusive. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:14, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
-:::Since you listed two sources when Commander angrily shout positive things, I think it's just his personality and can't be attributed to any one cartoon. It's like trying to do the same thing if the quote was of Strong Bad "I hate this crappy guy" to where he said "crap". {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 09:38, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
-==Milkshake?==
-I noticed this QotW is attributed to a rather unique item, the old milkshake from under the seat, on Homestarrunner.com. But over here, it's just attributed to singers. Shouldn't this be recorded on the QotW page? [[User:Geshmalderborgen|Geshmalder]] 15:52, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
-:The song doesn't actually exist (Strong Bad just made it up) so neither do the singers. As such, the hypothetical non-existent singers are represented visually as an object associated with that scene. This is only because the format of QotW on the actual site requires the image of something the quote is coming from. The wiki, however, does not, and is free to state the true sayers of the quote, annonymous "singers", without having to resort to images. The ability to present the fact that all we know about the sayers of this quote is that they're singers, is why it shouldn't be recorded on the QotW page. Does that answer your question? {{User:VolatileChemical/sig}} 06:40, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
-== Not really an outtake ==
-The new qotw is labelled an outtake, but it isn't really.  Strong Bad cuts Strong Sad off, but you can hear him finishing quietly in the background.  --Telamon
-:Oh, hey, so it is... Like some Bubs quote about bananas before. And some other quotes. They seem to do this a lot. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
-::Hey, if it helps you notice new stuff, then hooray!  --Telamon
