Talk:Sticklyman

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Revision as of 23:10, 1 April 2005

How can Stickly Man not be the Poopsmith? Granted that he's not drawn in the style of the other 20x6 characters, but he doesn't talk, he's got a shovel, and there's an obvious comedic moment when Stinkoman takes a mouthful of whatever it is in that pile and you don't know for sure that it isn't poop. If it isn't the 20x6 version of the Poopsmith, it's certainly some other elseworlds version of the Poopsmith. Until another 20x6 Poopsmith steps forward, I would consider Stickly Man to be the 20x6 Poopsmith. Thoughts? Render

I have to agree with Render here. Now nobody but the creators really know for sure, but there definitely are some clues that suggest what the stickly man is shoveling may be more than just dirt. Sure, this man/logo appears on nearly every one of the countless "under construction" animated GIFs one sees on those surely-never-to-be-completed user webpages from like 1998. I'm just saying it's being pretty bold to go out and say "Stickly man is not a reference to the poopsmith", without backing this up with facts... (Saying it's not a "The Poopsmith" reference simply because it also appears on many other web pages isn't enough, wouldn't we agree?). --Teh P. 22:00, 20 Sep 2004 (MST)

You can believe what you like, but don't go saying that Stickly Man is definitely The Poopsmith just because it's possible. We should all wait until it is confirmed whether or not this is true before saying it is for certain. Ogog

I think it's fair to say that there are definitely parallels, but waiting for official confirmation is prudent. Of course, this wiki is full of wild speculation anyway. Render

I think Stickly Man is the 20X6 version of The Poopsmith. Kinda makes you wonder if maybe what The Poopsmith shovels isn't actually what it seems like it is...-Shopiom 11:44, 1 Oct 2004 (MST)

Well, he did serve it up to the King of Town... --Upsilon

I don't think you can really say Sticklyman is the 20X6 Poopsmith yet, since he's only appeared in one thing so far and it doesn't look like he will be showing up again. The only real similarity he has with the Poopsmith is having a shovel, and not enough evidence. It would be like saying that the King of Peasantry is based on the King of Town because they are both kings. What Sticklyman is digging is not poop (At least not in the "dub" version...), nobody makes any reference to the possibility that it is poop in the cartoon, and there's nothing that even implies this other than the assumption that Sticklyman is 20X6 Poopsmith. And not talking doesn't mean anything, for three reasons: 1. not every character in a cartoon has to have lines. Ripberger has never had lines, does that mean he's a reference to the Poopsmith? 2. The fight scene is ripped off from Ninja Gaiden, and in that scene neither character talks (except for the "..."). The only opportunity for Sticklyman to talk would have been after Stinkoman asked if he was asking for a challenge. One silent moment isn't equivalent to an entire vow. 3. Can YOU imagine what that guy's voice would sound like? I can't. Oh, and one final reason Sticklyman probably isn't 20X6 Poopsmith: If he's the 20X6 Poopsmith, where's the 20X6 KOT?!

Xiao Xiao

Well this isn't all too relavent to the Sticklyman/The Poopsmith conversation but I thought Sticklyman might be an allusion to Xiao Xiao as seen on AlbinoBlackSheep.com under the stick figure flash files. But it's likely that [The Brothers Chaps] didn't intend for this to be anything like Xiao Xiao. To watch this series, go to AlbinoBlackSheep.com or Xiaoxiaomovie.com.
