For reference, unlike the character [[Señor]], Senor Cardgage does not use the "ñ" in his name. [[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 17:15, 15 Sep 2004 (MST)

True dat, Drhagman.<BR>
- Not Strong Bad

It really doesn't matter if his appearance in flashback is debated. Seriously, it's not a necessary piece of information. --Ogog

''Wow! Im sure u havent noticed yet, but if you look reaeaeally closely, this guy kinda looks like STRONG BAD!!! So that's where the nightmares come from!''-some retard.

I'm thinking that he is really "Strong Dad." [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 00:14, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

* (Picking up on above point).. I'd asume this implies that Strong Sad et al don't realize this, like he and (ugh) "Strong Mom" had an elicit and sordid rondayview? [[User:MetaStar|MetaStar]] 06:35, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

If Senor Cardgage was in [[HRFWiki:User:LesCed/Mrs._Koch|Mrs. Koch]]'s class, he would get an X on his chart for calling guys girls. —[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 9:49 13 April 2006

Shouldn't Senor Cardgage's tendancy to call at guys like they are ladies be a bulleted trait, as it is one of his distinguishing characteristics? --sculptus poe
:I think that's better covered in the paragraph immediately following, which includes his other speech patterns. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Senor Cardgage does sound kind of [[Wikipedia:Oscar the Grouch|grouchy]]. [[User:Brian Barbera|Brian Barbera]] 01:17, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
:Just because he has a monotonous voice, I guess. [[Strong Mad]] is the grouchy one. [[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 12:07, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

==Visual similarities to Creepy Comb-over Strong Bad==
Senor Cardgage has many physical features that are similar to those of Strong Bad (ie. boxing gloves and mask, no shirt, black pants, etc.) TBC obviously patterned him after Strong Bad's general appearance when they created him; however, in the Homestar Runner universe, it is possible that Strong Bad actually patterned his own appearance after Senor Cardgage. It would make sense that Little Strong Bad, after living down the street from him for a while and coming to believe that he is one of the coolest guys ever, might decide to look, act, and maybe even sound as much as possible like the good Senor. It is never stated directly this is actually the case, but it is implied in the email [[kind of cool]] when Strong Bad describes his tall, dumpy alternate self (Creepy Comb-Over Story Strong Bad) as an exact duplicate of Senor Cardgage. — [[User:Ashen|Ashen]]
:I reverted the above edit from the page, but moved it here since it represented at least several minutes work for someone. Unfortunately, views on the interrelation of Strong Bad and Senor Cardgage are far from unanimous; edits are regularly made and reverted asserting either that Creepy Comb-over and he are identical and should be merged, or are separate people and should be further elaborated.
:Your theory about Strong Bad adopting Cardgage's style is fun to hypothesize about. However, it represents one of our ongoing attempts to take "artifacts" of [[The Brothers Chaps|TBC]]'s creative evolution and explain them into backstory or wrestle them into continuity. (See my [[Talk:geddup_noise#Rant_Re:_Reality|lengthy rant]] on the subject.) The simple explanation for the visual similarities are that Creepy Comb-over SB started as SB's imagination, then Strong Sad said the hypothetical SB described was ''like'' S. Cardgage; then TBC liked the character they had created so much they made him a "real" character and gave him a short (even noting the contradictions and confusion they had just raised—"Wait, is Senor Cardgage real!?!"). By this time the hypothetically aged SB had gotten inextricably entangled with the memory of the (assumedly real) neighbor Se'''ñ'''or Cardgage, who was immediately obscured by the problematically-real product of their union, Se'''n'''or Cardgage. Thus we can have Strong Bad appear in the same [[Senorial Day|shot]] with a character that is neither his imagined self nor the actual neighbor from the past, but... ''something'' else altogether. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 02:44, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

So, let me get this straight. Señor Cardgage is the actual neighbor from the past, and Se'''n'''or Cardgage is a figment of Strong Bad's imagination? [[User:Gm1121983|Gm1121983]] 8:47 pm 17 Jan 2006
:Yup, that's about the size of it. Except that Senor Cardgage moved out of imagination to H*R reality. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 03:42, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
::Have you ever heard of Occam's Razor? --[[User:208.0.20.2|208.0.20.2]] 15:08, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

<s>No. What exactly is Occam's Razor? —[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 10:20 13 April 2006</s>

Seems to me like Senor Cardgage is to Strong Bad as Homsar is to Homestar. Maybe a better name would be stong bad?

Senor Cardgage and Strong Bad are two separate characters as well as Homsar and Homestar. Course, some people believe that Senor Cardgage is really Strong Dad. —[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 17:34 20 April 2006

Surprisingly, [[The Brothers Chaps]] made Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad the ''real'' Senor Cardgage. I would have thought that the real Senor Cardgage would scare me as much as [[Wikipedia:Aloysius Snuffleupagus|Snuffleupagus]] did when I was little. Senor Cardgage is a little creepy, but he's also funny. His voice cracks me up. [[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 01:42, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
:Hah! I'm not the only one!! (About Snuffy, I mean.) And yeah, Senor Cardgage is just plain too creepy for me to find funny. He's one of the two things on H*R that I just can't get around (the other being Li'l Brudder; I can't quite get over making fun of disabilities). —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 02:40, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I think the article should at least mention how similar he looks to Strong Bad, even if it doesn't give the theories to why and stuff. --MrCheeze

==Vocabulary==

Should Senor Cardgage's vocabulary be listed?

I guess by vocabulary, you mean phrases such as "Excardon me" and "No probalo." I don't see anything wrong with listing quotes. I know there were Senor Cardgage quotes listed in the [http://old.hrwiki.org/index.php?page=Senor+Cardgage old wiki]. [[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]]

==Image of Snuffy==

Do we need this image on this page, or is Brian trying to tell us that Snuffleupagus is the ''real'' Senor Cardgage, and the guy TBC are calling Senor Cardgage is actually creepy comb-over Strong Bad? —[[User:Uncle Jim|Uncle Jim]] 14:28, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
:No, Mr. Snuffleupagus is ''not'' Senor Cardgage. His real name is Aloysius Snuffleupagus. Brian probably added the image for a coincidence. —[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 14:32, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
:[[User:Qermaq|Qermaq]] already removed the image. —[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 14:34, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
::Anyone could have, actually. Remember to only include verifiable H*R.com-related info on this wiki. The Fanstuff wiki is where we create and discuss fan-extention versions of the H*R corpus. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 14:38, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Cedric said that ''I'' look like Senor Cardgage. —[[User:Uncle Jim|Uncle Jim]] 00:16, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

== Idol? ==

Should we include a reference to the fact that Strong Bad looks up to him like a father? Like during that weird fishing trip that Strong Bad says was a dream come true?
:We probably should. You can just add the fact if you want, it's a wiki ;-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:35, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
::Yes, after the latest email, [[the movies]], it's becoming increasingly clear that Strong Bad and Senor Cardgage's relationship is a running gag. It should get more space on this page. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 07:22, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

== Senor based on this guy? ==

It seems pretty likely to me. Take a look at these (real) commercials:
*http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCptzXg7xPg
*http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tqmht0YVcJQ
:Haha, those are pretty funny (but Senor Cardgage is probably not based specifically on them). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:25, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
::"If you can't get credit in my store... ''{pauses for five (very creepy) seconds}'' ...you can't get credit anywhere."
::Those are even worse than D/FW area commercials. At least in D/FW they don't send chills up your spine. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 14:57, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey Just thought I would mosey on over here and second that Mark Norton motion, I lived on the Ontario Side of Lake Erie in 2004 when these horrors were still just being broadcast over the television and I couldn't help but think that the two had to be related even in those early days it's just too perfect a Comparison I mean you really can't get much closer to a Senor Cardgage than this guy... especially when the guys who came up with the character used to live in the broadcast region for the commercials. They certainly are creepy especially late at night or on SA. As this is no doubt likely to draw some attention due to the large amount of crossover between the SA, YT, and HS audiences. I was thinking something like this could go up on the Senor Cardgage page if people are cool with that.

"Comparisons can be drawn between Senor Cardgage, and real life furniture salesman Mark Norton who is known for his odd ball late night television advertisements. Usually seen between the hours of 1 and 3 A.M. on the Cleveland FOX affiliate which broadcasts into the Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, South Eastern Ontario, and other regions surrounding Lake Erie."

Cheers
Steve.

==The Real Senor Cardgage==
The silhouette of Senor Cardgage on the milk carton in [[kind of cool]] looks completely different from Strong Bad's creepy comb-over version. --[[User:School of Rock|Dewey Finn]] 22:33, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
:So what? There is only one Senor Cardgage, and that is the guy with the creepy comb-over and beer belly! --[[User:Shake|Shake]] 17:51, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

==Senor Cardgage Analysis==

Wasn't there a Senor Cardgage Analysis? [[User:StarFox|StarFox]] 05:25, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

== Random Quote ==

I think Senor Cardgage should have a random quote, like [[Homsar]] does. Just think of the potential! Am I left? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 19:56, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
:No, I think you are right. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 07:27, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
::Oh. Good. Yes. Well, uh.. this topic got more attention [[Talk:Drive-Thru Whale#Random Quote|here]], btw .. but still not as much as I'd like. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 08:12, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
:::Yes I had a slow day at work yesterday so I [[Template:cardgagequote|started it]]. It can definitely be expanded upon. Maybe have some links put in like the [[Template:homsarquote|Homsar one]] has. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 12:57, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
I have a beard and mustache. If I had a comb-over and gold-rimmed glasses, I'd look like Senor Cardgage. I also have a potbelly. --[[User:Barry Hepner|Barry Hepner]] 16:22, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

::That's the best I can do without access to the original image. What program did you use to save that file? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:53, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

I went the Adobe program and trimmed the image. Then, I copied it onto Microsoft Paint. It still exceeded the size recommended for the wiki, so I had to shrink it some more. —[[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]] 7:28 5 May 2005
