I agree.  I'm no U2-ologist, but I see no connection to anything Strong Bad did in the cartoon that would be construed as parodying/satirizing/have anything to do with-ing the Edge.  The only connection is that they rhyme.  I suppose the Chap Bros just noticed that a shortened, nicknamed form of "legend" was the word "ledge", and got 79 seconds of comedy out of it.

If you remove the loading screen and say that the toon ends on the very last frame before "no seconds left", it's almost exactly 79 seconds. The extra six seconds are the loading screen and the "end". --Jay (Gobble) 08:03, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
