Easter eggs

I'll handle Easter Eggs. Please? I don't want to be a member of this wiki and not contribute. At the moment it feels like I'm just a bump on the Wiki log. --Kiwi 21:52, 26 Feb 2007 (UTC)

Nah, I couldn't find any. --TheYellowDart—(t/c) 02:53, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, that just occurred to me. Dangit. --Kiwi 21:58, 26 Feb 2006 (UTC)

(Psst... Kiwi... don't feel like a bump on a log! Do the things that no one thinks of! Go ahead an edit this; I've saved it for you. —BazookaJoe 03:02, 27 February 2007 (UTC))

Well, remember, they added in the easter eggs later on for "No Hands on Deck." Dusk

Aw, Super Martyo Brother just updated that. Tough luck. Are you a bump in the log? Well... I AM the log. Ha! --TheYellowDart—(t/c) 03:31, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Meta-comment on above - please remember, there are good users who have never done a transcript for a toon. (*ahem*) Contributing to the wiki is not limited to doing transcripts or noting Easter eggs. I think I'd rather be a user who adds a correction here or there and is content with that than one who gets upset that he cannot do a transcript or update a template. The point is this: if the toon gets documented by someone, we all win, even if it wasn't by you or I specifically. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  10:09, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm not really upset per se, it's just that I want to do what I can to help out. And mainly because it's pretty cool to see what you contributed on a webpage for the world to see. (And thanks, BazookaJoe. Even though someone beat me to the punch. ^-^) --Kiwi 17:57, 27 Feb 2007 (UTC)

The Sheep-Eating Dragon?

Does anyone else think that the Chapos were playing on the "Sheep-Eating" part of the dragon's name by calling it the "Multi-Purpose Dragon"? In The King of Town DVD, the Sheep-Eating Dragon is never called anything more than a "dragon", so the wiki gave it that name. Does anyone agree with me that they're referencing the wiki's name for the dragon? If so, is it worth mentioning? —Zelinda 03:32, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I think that's a bit of a stretch. It doesn't seem too likely to me, but if other people agree I won't argue.(Some kind of scientist 20:10, 27 February 2007 (UTC))

Well, we did have to differentiate it from all the other dragons. But no. It's speculatory to think they based its name on ours, as there's no evidence towards it. We'll just have to wait for DVD commentary. =3 --DorianGray 20:16, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

It is known that TBC do come here to reference a few things, but I don't think they get any of their ideas from it. Like DorianGray just said, wait for Everything Else Vol. 3 or 4 to know for possible (instead of certain. They may never mention it). —NFITC1^talk 20:20, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

With only very rare exceptions, you're absolutely right. Trey56 20:28, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

About the Transcript

Sorry if it sucked. It was my first one. Strong Devon 03:35, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I tried to fix the spacing problems. You did a great job though. I kept on getting stupid "someone else has modified the page so you can reload the stupid page over and over and scream in fury!" error. -Teh C.

Yeah, you did a great jaerb — you got it up very quickly, which is a good thing, and although there are some formatting things to be tweaked, people are eager to fix those (as evidenced by the plague of edit conflicts). Trey56 03:52, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

It didn't suck. Yep, it was me who caused all those edit conflicts, because I, the mighty YellowDart, fixed those spaces as soon as possible. --TheYellowDart—(t/c) 04:01, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

You made a mistake in the text towards the end.

"Fun" Facts

I don't think the fact about crap works. It's an obvious reference, and every email that Strong Bad says crap in doesn't have an inside reference. The point of the Fun Facts is usually to point out something interesting. Give me your opinion Visorbot 386 03:58, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, that is true. But then again, I like killing inputting retarded fun facts for the fun of it. Mu-hu-ha-ha-ha. Actually, yes, go ahead and take it off. You are exactly right. --TheYellowDart—(t/c) 04:00, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Del tacoed! Trey56 04:01, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Olive, the Other Reindeer

The animation reminds me of Olive, the Other Reindeer. [1] Retromaniac 05:35, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Now that you mention it... --Kiwi 17:59, 27 Feb 2007 (UTC)

Slight reference to dual characters

The KOT's response to himself could be a vague dual character instance. Retromaniac 05:48, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Then maybe it should be slightly noted - as in, on the talk page. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  10:05, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Character development

An anonny added the following to the "Remarks" section:

• When characters of tv shows are spun off into their own shows, their behaviors tend to be tweeked a bit to fit the demands of a larger format. This appears to have happened to the KOT, who in other cartoons never let ANYTHING get between himself and anything he considers edible.

"Thanks __ef"

Does anyone else think the king is saying "thanks Jeff"?
DeFender1031 11:31, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

    It's more like "Cheff," with a hard "ch" sound, as in "choose."

No arms- again.

This one isn't very important, but here goes. The King of Town can't really play football without any arms, but I bet a million people noticed that already. --Collin Diver 13:06, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

The Princess Bishop

Did anyone else think that The Bishop's voice during The Poopsmith's wedding ceremony was strikingly similar to the voice of the priest at the wedding in The Princess Bride? I did. Trey56 17:07, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Similar, yes, but not strikingly so. That is to say, I don't think they're so similar that it's meant to be a reference, though I admit I could be wrong. --Jay (Talk) 17:34, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Gotta go with Jay on this one. It sounds more like Matt was trying not to sound like Rumble Red, but semi-failing. kai lyn 18:00, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

That's exactly what I thought when I heard it--Rumble Red! But the bishop from Princess Bride? Not remotely. He doesn't have twouble with his awws like that bishop. -- Nevadie 22:09, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Poopsmith Speaketh

The Poopsmith has spoken before, in different town, so I don't think that it should mention exluding the poopsmith under remarks.

Well, that instance of speaking was hypothetical, so I think the remark should stay written as is. Trey56 17:40, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree with trey.(Some kind of scientist 20:15, 27 February 2007 (UTC))

Rumble Red

Anybody else notice that the bishop sounded a lot like Rumble Red ertrumble? Nsayer 21:56, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Definitely. Like I said in the post above this one.-- Nevadie 22:09, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Multi-funcion Dragon

Question: where do TBC call it the "Multi-function dragon"? In an earlier post, someone mentioned that that really was its name. But...I don't see it anywhere. Did a wiki user make it up?-- Nevadie 22:13, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

There's a sign what points to it and tells its name. --DorianGray 22:14, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh-ho-ho...wight...thanks <:F -- Nevadie 22:25, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Order of appearance

Do shilouetted characters count as having appeared? The Little Chef Guy appears in shilouette in the first shot of the cartoon. Or does the title screen count for character appearances as well? --Kiwi 18:11, 27 Feb 2007 (UTC)

I think the title screen counts — he even says, "For reals this time!" Trey56 23:43, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Deoderant on the outside of your shirt?

About that line, "Have you tried wearing a baseball cap and wearing deoderant on the outside of your shirt?"; does that reference anything? I think it might be a generic reference to sports coaches, but is it anything more? I can't figure it out. -Brightstar Shiner 23:34, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

It reminds me of a commercial that used to exist, I think.

Under Armour

I don't thing "Great way to protect this house." is a reference to Under Armour. I think it's just an odd sentence. Retromaniac 23:54, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
