Man, I was hoping for something really good. This April Fool's wasn't all that funny, and it simply made an ugly mess of the Main Pages. I just hope that this just means that email 150 is that much better! --Jay (Gobble) 05:36, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Agreed... It actually gives me a headache. It's very disorienting. --DorianGray

I hope they do more and fix out the kinks when it's April Fool's for different time zones. PurpleKoopa 06:13, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

It appears that all the pages are upside down...which is annoying, but effective given that it took a minute to realize it just turned April 1.--Motorbikematt 06:39, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, it kind of gives me a headache. Still, it's kind of cool. Btw, nice sig Jay. I mean Tom. I mean DOUBLE DEUCE!!!! ⇔ŢɦųηɗəřÞìɤɖ⇔ 08:14, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

I have no idea what you're talking about. My sig just got a small color change due to the fact that my birthday is in less than a year from yesterday. --Jay (Gobble) 08:38, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

It's funny, but at the expense of every other joke on the site. 86.136.82.105 14:46, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

How did they do it?

Does any one know how they did it? I doubt they manually fliped every movie (and 150 sbemails).

149.5 actually. They did it by changing all the embedded swf files to "theyCallHimFlipper.swf?contentURL=name of original swf file.swf", which flips them over. --ENUSY 14:50, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Changed throughout the early morning

I was there at random times up until about 2 am (darn college lifestyle) At some point the main page and the toons menu page were both unrotated. They also had the Weeklies items (QFSR) moved at about the same time.

Anyone else get a chance to see this?

I did. --TheThingé 15:17, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Now I'm mad!

Now everything's upside down! TBC have just ruind April Fools' Day! This isn't funny! Chess Cheese

So who agrees with me? Chess Cheese

Not me! --TheThingé 16:02, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Not me, either! I like it! H * R 7 0 0 16:02, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, there could have been a cartoon, but no, the site just HAD to be messed up. On purpose! Chess Cheese

It's not like it'll be forever. Even if it was, you could always buy the DVDs. :) —FireBird|Talk 16:07, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Nah, I'de rather steal them. :) Chess Cheese

They COULD have made a cartoon, but that would mean you would have had to wait longer for sbemail 150. —BazookaJoe 16:15, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

That would be definetly worh it, unless it's my email. Chess Cheese

Hm. Well, it wasn't as funny as Under Construction and HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS! were, but not bad... kinda cliche, though. I've seen that joke many times. -YK 06:12, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

lol

lol look at This. --TheThingé 16:36, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Déjà vû…

Man, all those glitches remind me so badly of the subtitles Flash thingy I made back in the day... Exactly like Flipper, it had to load a swf from the Homestar site and display it with various differences (flipper has it upside down, subtitles had it with text overlayed). I had the same problem with weird-proportion toons (took about a page worth of geometry and algebra to fix that one), toons that used _root (it took me days to find _lockroot), and missing text in certain toons (I never fixed this one... I "fixed" it by never subtitling Under Construction...). It doesn't surprise me one bit that TBC hit the same problems. --phlip ^T_C 17:25, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

A Conspiracy?

[Making Fiends] has some of its old cartoons edited for April Fools Day as well. Specifically all the characters have beards. Are any other sites doing things like this? PolarBoy

Quite a few. --phlip ^T_C 17:38, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

IT'S OVER!

Well guys it's all over. — DBK! 06:13, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
