===Figured one out?===

:I think the navbar is just Arial. That's what I'm using in the mirror stylesheets. See [http://hrwiki.org/mirror/jumpinjacks2.html jumpinjacks2.html] for an example.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:45, 7 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:I think the Thnikkaman's chorus might be Cooper Black? --[[User:71.244.185.34|71.244.185.34]] 00:40, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:I read the new additions after adding the font Alba to the list...which was on one of the books. Anyway the sample of Alba on the book is much better than the example I'd had, so I've changed the entry accordingly. One down, a...lot to go. -- [[User:Xyzzyka|Xyzzyka]] 18:06, 22 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:I think I've figured out the Stinko Man K 20X6 font. Playing Starcraft, one avid fan should realize that the font is Eurostar Black Extended. Am I right or am I right? -[[User:BurninatorBoombox&Markie|MK and/or BurnBox]] 00:23, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:EDIT: Okay, so I tried whatthefont.com, and I came down to these fonts:
*Microgramma EF Medium Extended
*Microgramma Medium Extend
*Aggie URW T Normal
*Microgramma D Medium Extended
*Eurostile T Regular Extended
-[[User:BurninatorBoombox&Markie|MK and/or BurnBox]] 00:33, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I think the credits from Japanese Cartoon is Times or Times New Roman--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 14:57, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I am certain the font for the chalk on the computer screen is either called Eraser or DS Eraser but I don't know which one is the official name. -[[User:Jenny|Jenny]] 05:14, 21 October 2005 (UTC)

I think Bubs's banner was just using the paintbrush tool. -[[User:FaceCrap|FaceCrap]] 01:24, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
:Which Banner? {{User:Salty/sig}} 01:42, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

:Never mind. I was thinking of the 'Coach Z You Jerk' thing. Not the Happy Thanksgiving banner. Though the font looks familiar from the site... -[[User:FaceCrap|FaceCrap]] 13:37, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

==Main logo==

I'd like to know what the font on the main symbol is, the h and r on either side of the star? --[[User:Buz|Buz]]
:It looks alot like a modified [[:Image:Bauhaus 93.png|Bauhaus]] to me. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 04:59, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

==Links==
This isn't linked to from anywhere, but it's useful information that I don't think is found anywhere else on the wiki, or perhaps I'm mistaken. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 18:51, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

:I have linked it a bit. I like fonts, and this makes a great page, and a great 1,000th article. Continue rocking on! [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]]

== VOY DOT LCD ==

Does anybody know where I can find this font? I've searched the internet for it for about a month now, but haven't found anything. --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 18:59, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

== Thousandth article ==
This is the HR Wiki's 1,000th article. Just letting everybody know.

:<s>Uh, no it's not. We already [[Talk:Game Sightings|determined]] [[Game Sightings]] was the 1,000th article. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 17:32, 17 May 2005 (UTC)</s>

:Wait, did a few pages get deleted somewhere? I just checked the [[Special:Newpages]] page and it looks like this really is the thousandth article. Wow! I feel strangely honored to have been a part of this. I never imagined we'd reach a thousand articles back when I started the wiki. Good jorb, everyone! — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 18:13, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

::No, I don't think it has anything to do with deleted pages. The number on the [[Main Page]] doesn't include pages marked as [[:Category:Stubs|stubs]], so as pages are marked and un-marked as stubs, the number changes accordingly. [[Game Sightings]] was the first page to be the 1,000th page. [[Fonts]] appears to be the 1,000th page right now, but if someone marked an article as a stub in a few minutes, the page created after [[Fonts]] (which right now is [[do over]]) would appear to be the 1,000th page.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:36, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

==Font Examples==

Would it be possible to write a little example of each font? I'm not much one for that sort of 'hacking, coding' type thing, so if anyone else wants to tackle it - provided it's possible to do so while still properly [[HRWiki:Validation committee|validated]] and whatnot, go right ahead. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 18:44, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

:I don't know where the "hacking, coding" comes in, but why not take a screenshot of each of the fonts as used on the site? — [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 18:56, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

::Ah right, that could work. I just meant hacking and coding as in 'you can't just change the font on the wiki with a little dropdown bar', at least I don't think you can... I just think it would look cleaner than screenshots. But if it's not possible, I'll get on the screenshots. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 07:56, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

:::It's not possible. If you change the font of a bit of text on a web page, it only shows up in that font if the visitor has that font installed. Anyway, if you want it to look "cleaner", I just suggest that you make each screenshot the same dimensions. — [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 20:51, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

:I've now added previews. However they're not the same size, and they could be presented better. But, at least we have previews for now. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 11:59, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

::And now I've put it all in a table. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 02:31, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

I think the examples should look more like this:

--[[User:Trogga|TROGGA!]] 19:33, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

:Ugh! The old font samples were ''way'' superior. First, they didn't take up as much space. Second, they provided a better context for the fonts. If someone wants to see all the characters of a font, they should go to Wikipedia or [http://myfonts.com MyFonts.com]. Reverting... — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:01, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:<strike>And on a side note, does it not ruin the entire point of the Quick Brown Fox if you Capitalize Every Single Word? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:05, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)</strike>

:: Which, as I can see, is not what happened in the last edit. My bad. I'm actually kinda siding with the big Quick Brown Fox blocks... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:07, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::We don't need to see every character, which only serves to stretch out the table so it doesn't fit on one or one and a half screens. What is better is to see how each font is used on the site in a representative screenshot. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:13, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::: I do see where you're coming from, and I don't care enough to argue the point. But I also see where Trogga and The Paper are coming from. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:16, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::::I think the "Quick brown fox" examples are too big. Having screenshots of the fonts in use on H*R.com is better because you can see where its used (even if they are all different sizes). {{User:Rainer/sig}} 07:55, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== External Links ==

Shouldn't there be a link to a spot to download the font? [[User:Ed smildE|EDSMILDE]]

:That would be ideal. However, before doing so make sure that the font is free. This will take some research because a lot of fonts that aren't meant to be free are available illegally on some free font sites, and linking to those is out of the question. In other words, just because a font is on some free font site doesn't mean that it's legal, so be very very careful. — [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 21:03, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

== Additional fonts used on main pages? ==

<s>I've found a few fonts that aren't on this page, but are used somewhere on the [[Homsar Main Page]]. I downloaded the .fla of the main page from one of the [[Links#Fan Sites|fansites]], but when I open it in Flash, it tells me that I do not have the following fonts installed: </s>
Bauhaus-Thin: The menu page buttons (i.e. Toons, Games, Characters, Downloads, Store, and Email). 
Comix Heavy: The little bit in the top right corner of [[HR:newbutton.swf|this]]. (The "LAST UPDATED ON" font.) 
Potrzebie: Already on the font page. 
Stencil BT: The font on the [[Heavy Lourde]]. 
<s>Anyone have any idea where these are used on that main page? --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 12:34, 29 May 2005 (BST)</s> 
EDIT: Nevermind, I found them, and where they go. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 07:40, 8 July 2005 (BST)

==Menu Font==
On Tangerine Dreams, the menu font is not quite the same the one on my Mac OS 9, it's slightly different from [http://www.coolstufffordudes.i8.com/os9menu.html this] one. Should I add that? --{{User:Darklinkskywalker/DLSsignature}} 18:08, 16 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:The picture included in the website you linked to appears to be broken. Do you have another example?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:30, 16 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::Notice that the article page has been corrected to read "versions '''7''' and before." Apple switched from Chicago to a font called Charcoal for Mac OS versions 8 and 9. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:52, 16 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Yes, Charcoal is one of my favortie fonts. --{{User:Darklinkskywalker/DLSsignature}} 16:03, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)

You can also go [http://www.coolstufffordudes.i8.com/charcoal.html to this page] to see what it looks like. Or you can choose to download it from there aswell. --{{User:Darklinkskywalker/DLSsignature}} 16:16, 18 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== [[Pom Pilot]] Font (From [[the bird]]) ==

Which font is this? Is it already covered as one of the fonts, and if so, which one? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:33, 20 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Wow, been a while since i been here, but yes, the font is called Trebuchet MS --TheDoggy

::I think he's talking about the font on the screen, and that is definitely ''not'' Trebuchet. The font on the screen is pixelated. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:42, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:::Exactly. Just pointing out an unknown font. For whatever it's worth. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:48, 12 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Stub==
Why is this page a stub? It looks complete to me. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 15:50, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:Because there are a ''lot'' of fonts on the site that we haven't yet added to the table. Just off the top of my head, I can think of the "electricity"-style font used on Awexome Cross, fonts in old toons, and stuff on things like fliers. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:10, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

And don't forget about the Door on [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (place)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]], or the [[HR:main_nav.swf|NavBar]], and [[Strong Bad's Message Bored]], or the ones on the buttons from [[Main Page 22]], and the [[Toons Menu]], and the "TeeBee" logo on the Homestar's TV, or the subtitles in [[The Isle of Pom]], and maybe even the Stinkoman K 20X6 logo, and "[[Thnikkaman]]'s offscreen chorus, ooh, and don't forget the Highlights FAQ...

::Yes it is. Someone emailed me the font size

== Block lettering? (oh that was bad. :D) ==

OK, I've gone through [[other days]] looking for what font was used on SB's Block screen, and I've come up empty. I thought it might be Charybdis, which is very close, but not quite it. So I consulted WhatTheFont and got an even closer result, but the loop of the "P" is two "pixels" instead of three. So it's not that either. Any ideas?

Oh, btw, along the way I also added every other font used in that email so that's all taken care of. [[User:Octan|Octan]] 01:21, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

IntelligentCorpse: /* "Geddup Geddup GEX 3!"*/

==geddup noise techno==
The Cheat stole my thunder! I made [http://www.macband.com/songs/electronica/1076434286.shtml a bad techno song] once that mentioned the Geddup noise. It didn't actually have the noise in it, though.

*I had no idea that the Get up noise evan existed, I geuss I don't pay attention to detail. _[[User:24.62.243.222|24.62.243.222]] 01:25, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

dont you guys notice that the e-mail he was ansering when he got a phone call was from steve buttz? i think you should
note that.-[[User:Timmy!]]
:Um, yeah, we do that.
<blockquote>The email kids' book is on the Compy 386 when the Geddup Noise gets his phone call. Kids' book is the 84th email Strong Bad mentioned.</blockquote>
:See? It's in the remarks section. - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''
==corporate magazines==
do we really need the strong sad/kurt cobain refernce in both remarks, and real world references? having it in one or the other would make more sense. - '''''[[User:i know. can you believe it?|i know. can you believe it?]]'''''
:Taken care of. Thnks for pointing it out. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 14:10, 26 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:In future it'd be easier for you to just fix it yourself. When an article comes out for something new like this, there's usually a lot of frenzied editing, everyone wants to get their point in.

== Adding to the Cast ==

Shouldn't we add The Geddup Noise and Chairscoot to the cast for this email, since they're kinda referred to as characters throughout?
--[[User:Tigz|Tigz]] 15:17, 26 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:No, we shouldn't. But we should make a page for the Geddup Noise. - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]''''' 15:21, 26 Sep 2005 (UTC)
If you make The Geddup Noise and Chairscoot cast members then you'll have to find all the SB Emails with them in it. That would be both take very long and it would be really hard to do it all. Don't even try. - Jhonka
:Actually, we've already been doing just that. See our [[The Geddup Noise]] page, and its talk section. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Get Up Kids?==
Does it seem likely/noteworthy to anyone that the e-mail (esp. in relation indie music) was vaguely referencing or inspired by the (recently broken-up) band The Get Up Kids? If so, someone should write that into the article in an elegant fashion. Perhaps. -[[User:Sinisterscrawl|Sinisterscrawl]] 16:41, 26 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Shoshoni & Coches ==
I'm too lazy to do it myself, but ought there to be some Explanations for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoshoni Shoshoni] and Coches? A cursory, 5-minute search has failed to give me a good idea of where the latter are; just some ski resort sites in other languages. I assume they're a mountain range in either France or Spain or both, but if it's that far removed from common knowledge an Explanation might be in order. [[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]]

"coches" is spanish for cars. not sure if this is related. sarducci

"les coches" is a ski resort

== Coach Z's Dance ==

_Not_ the one from folky tale. In folky tale, coach Z hops from foot to foot while pumping his arms up and down above his head. In the easter egg, he hops on one foot (his right) across the screen with his arms down at his sides, moving slightly up-and down. Deleted the "inside reference" claiming it was the same. -sarducci
:It's similar, though. But still not the same. My first thought, though, was the 'I'm Just Me' song and dance from [[record book]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:Oh, good catch. I does seem to be identical to the I'm just me dance, cept he's moving across the screen, not just up and down. Is this worth a mention? -sarducci
::Might be worth a mention. I dunno. If people don't like it, they can always STUFF it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Strong Mad said what? ==

It sounded to me like Strong Mad said "YOU SUCK!" instead of "BLUE SOCK!" Anybody else think so? {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 19:17, 26 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:It did sound like that a little, but "BLUE SOCK" definitely fits the context better. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

It's pretty clear that most people need to get better speakers. These agurments about lines are ridiculous since it's obvious what they said if you listen properly. Try headphones, they do a good job.

== It's About Freakin' Time! ==

Anyone else find it weird that for almost 2 months, TBC diddn't do any SBEmails (almost all they do) to do two big toons, two shorts, multiple Lament updates, a new main page, a new navigation feature, and add several new products to the store? Plus several of the newer emails have sucked. I think the SBEmails are dying.---[[User:RatherAnnoying|RatherAnnoying]]

-If you noticed, they said they were putting out a DVD of all the non Strong bad email stuff, so they were probably just rushing to get out all the ideas they had for toons before the DVD went to press......Nah...

-I think they were trying to fill up the site with newer stuff for a few possible reasons.
A.) Trying to make sure that their site has things other than the SBEmail get updated.
B.)Trying to get enough toons and shorts added so they can release a Toons DVD.
C.) Perhaps they figured that all those updates might help boost the sites popularity.
I do think it should be noted about how this is the first SBEmail in a while. [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]

2 months without an e-mail
And this is the demented result...
I'll be happier when Stinkoman level 10 comes out (I hope)...
Man, some of the e-mails I sent had such cool premises, and THEY ANSWER ONE ABOUT THE NOISE STRONG BAD MAKES WHEN HE GETS OFF HIS CHAIR...
GUUH GUUUH GUH...

Signed, this may very well be my least favorite email. I-- it's... just not funny. {{User:Tom Epsilon/sig}}

Definity. its the worst email ive seen. maybe it was good that they didnt have a new one in a while. the next one better be better. [[User:Darkstalker|Darkstalker]]

I don't know about you guys but I liked this email. But to answer your theory about SB emails dieing it just seems like TBC are just trying to do new things like new shorts and toons as apposed to putting-up an email each and every week. [[User:Stinkoman Z|Stinkoman Z]]
:: I second that. My sentiments exactly. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 13:22, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)
y'all are so whack! this e-mail was good! '''''[[User:i know. can you believe it?|i know. can you believe it?]]'''''

I did like this email (I categorize it as decent) but it was nowhere near as great as some others (i.e. the one referenced to in this email). Recent ones that simply were not good at all include lady...ing, boring [really], and modeling. (I know people will disagree with me there, but it is not neccesary to bloat this page with your complaints).---[[User:RatherAnnoying|RatherAnnoying]]
::On a similar note, anyone notice how Pom Pom's appearences are becoming less and less. Wihile it sucks, it is perfectly understandable: Pom Pom's inability to talk makes him hard to use, and he lacks an additional "catch" that makes talking unnecessary like The Cheat and The Poopsmith have.
::::I would disagree that Pom Pom lacks a "catch," so to speak. It's just that his catch isn't as easy to work into the silly, fun nature of the cartoons. He talks to fine honeys on his cell phone([[Pom Pom]]), he collects money from girls([[3 Times Halloween Funjob]]), and in [[Homestarloween Party]] he adds hot bikini girls with beer to the car(or, rather, adds them sitting around the car). Pom Pom is the pimp jokes, from what I've seen, and in a universe as asexual as the H*R universe they're harder to work in. [[User:Bennedetto|Bennedetto]]

* In the part where Strong Bad immitates the ''Geddup Noise'' with the ''Git Outcha Seat Sound'', if you notice, the chair his sitting on only has three legs! (And there's no way the perspective would hide the 4th leg)

* I'm not sure if this counts as a goof: When you click on the notepad easter egg, you can click on the back pages (over where the stool is) and still get the Technochocolate easter egg.

* Finally, I noticed that both of Bubs' eyelids closed when Coach Z was making his first impression of the ''Geddup Noise''. I'm wondering, is this the first time he does that? I don't remember ever seeing him do that before.

That's enough for now. I'm still new at this, so I appreciate your input! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:13, 26 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I thought that was an interesting observation about the movie Real Genius... after all, the lights do go off except for that light over his head. I thought that was totally strange (not TBC strange, but strange as in it was meant to be like that for a specific reason). Doesn't the elevator in the movie also have a light like that? I haven't seen the movie in so long.

== Corporate Homestarloween Still Sucks Still Sucks ==

We have redundant links to Homestarloween Party. I was about to delete one, but it raises a question: Should Real-World References that have already been referenced in another toon be regarded as Real-World References, Inside References, or both? [[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 00:10, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Booo ==

Didn't anybody else think that when the King of Town did his own rip-off of the gettup noise, he was booing himself in the background, like how he did in [[impression]] when Strong Sad appeared? I definitely heard it, and I think that was the joke at that point, and not him randomly saying "doooooo." His mustache doesn't even move at that point, anyway.

Yeah, I think so too. Should we add that on the fun facts? --{{User:Bubsty/sig}} 02:07, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I didn't think "Dooo-ooo" made any sence, and I heard "Booooo" They should change this. -[[User:Jesselangham|JesseLangham]]

I agree, but it was instantly changed back when I tried modifying the wiki. -sarducci

Yep, it's definitely "Booooo"

:I once reverted it from "boooo!" to "dooo!", but I can now hear that that is clearly wrong. The only problem I will have with changing it to "boooo!" is if people interpret it as an offscreen KOT jeering the onscreen KOT. No, it's not a reference to the "Boooo!" in [[impression]]. You can tell from the pitch that the KOT is adding vocal SFX to glorify the Standing Up Noise. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 01:40, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::I also hear a /b/ sound at the beginning. I don't know, however, what the best spelling would be. Obviously, "booo" is a choice. "Buhooo"... hmmm... "B'oooo"... Anybody else have a suggestion? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:54, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)

People, the entire e-mail is about a personified sound effect. Wouldn't it make comical sense that the KoT's boo in [[impression]] is also a personified effect? It's not him on-screen that's saying it either, because his mustash doesn't move, so that invalidates the "Adding SFX" argument.

:Yeah, I'm sure it's a reference to [[Impression]]. The general idea would be that the Standing Up Noise is so lame that the King himself booed it...from off screen. Yeah, that would mean there are two KoTs in that scene, but it's supposed to make comical sense, not logical sense.[[User:Rocketlex|Rocketlex]] 02:21, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Ehh... this is getting a little strained. The simple fact is that there are many tiny details in TBC 'toons which can't be completely linked to causes and/or meanings—and this is one of them. The only objective facts we have to go on are:
*We hear a sound; we all agree that it's the KOT's voice and that it involves the "oo" sound.
*His mustache doesn't move.
Further speculation about who or what makes the sound and what the sound means are just that—speculation. (Note that his immobile mustache doesn't necessarily mean he's not making it; when someone's mouth is hidden by a mustache, they can make small mouth movements without it moving visibly.) --[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 02:29, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Oh my dear god. I hate to break it to you guys, but this is not reality, its a cartoon. In real life, yes people can make small mouth movements with moving visably. In a cartoon, you need moving mouths to indicate speech. The KOT's mustash wasn't moving, e.g. he was NOT MAKING THE SOUND.

This argument can be settled by asking which is more likely: The KOT being booed by himself for such a lame rip-off attempt, in a reference to the off-screen boo in [[impression]] or the King saying "Dooo" without his mustache moving and looking off to his right for no reason.

:Or a third option: The KoT is being booed from offstage by someone else who happens to sound like KoT. Matt has said he's bad at making generic character voices, and after making so many characters there's only so many new voices you can make. Having (presumably) just recorded the KoT's line, it makes sense that his generic character sounded like the KoT. Whenever a fun fact comes up elsewhere that says "new character X has a voice similar to old character Y" it's always chalked up to "Matt's running out of different voices". Admittedly few are as close as this one, but I still believe it comes under the same header. Besides, even if it ''is'' the KoT booing, there's no reason for it to be a reference to impression... it could just be the same absurdism that gave rise to having two Homestars on screen at once (though people still tried to explain that away with "Main Page 23 is actually Fabrosi, you can't see his moustace because he's facing away from the screen, yada, yada...")... Seriously - random absurdism doesn't have to reference something to be funny. {{User:phlip/sig}} 17:36, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::Now THATS a stretch. Matt is more creative than to incorporate two different voices that sound similar in the same scene. He could have used a canned boo if that were the case (like a livev studio audience). The reason the voice sounds like the KoT's and is saying boo, is because it IS a reference to [[impression]].
:It's likely that it's just another KoT. Bear with me here - think about it. It's not like this isn't the first instance of there being more than one of a certain character, anyway. Remember that mustachioed Homestar? Definitely two Homestars, there. So it's very possible that, somehow, the KoT is booing himself, off-screen.
:Not that it NEEDS all this analysis - it's just a cartoon, after all. -[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 15:06, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Corporate T-shirts Still Suck ==

== Didn't Strong Bad call it the "get up noise"? ==

In the email "the bet" Strong Bad's closing line is "And now, the get up noise." He now claims it's called "the geddup noise." Also, that was email 95 so should it be noted that "chairscoot" hadn't replaced "the geddup noise" yet?
:Well, for all we know, the Geddup Noise was replaced with the get up noise and THEN the Chairscoot. I wouldn't worry about it. - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''
::However, his seeming confusion at the phrase "get up noise" at the beginning of the email would seem to counterindicate this.

== Rant Re: Reality ==
     I can foresee difficulties in discussing the events of this email in absolute terms--"Bubs has a basement," "Geddup Noise was succeeded circa #84 by 'get up noise,' who was succeeded by Chairscoot, post-#95"--due to the fact that the entire thing is a huge breakage of the [[Fourth Wall Breaks|Fourth Wall]]. Marc's email sets it off right from the start, by referencing a prior 4th-wall-break in email 95. From there we progress to a reality in which not merely an inanimate object but a sound is personified. Of course it's heard when Strong Bad hands it the phone, and is able to manifest itself in radio and game show studios--it's being treated as a person. 
     All of which casts into serious doubt the "reality" of the events depicted. Does Bubs have a basement? More to the point, does "Bubso?" Did the Cheat in actuality create an indietronic remix? Strong Bad simply tells us with a straight face that these things happened, and his word is ultimately the only arbiter of reality within sbemails. I understand the flexibility that's always characterized the "H*R Universe"--but if we accept these events as literal it's a universe in which real estate in prestigious European ski resorts can be purchased--and inhabited--by disembodied sounds. 
     And yes, I'm aware that another email-closing icon, The Paper, has been consistently personified. I guess my uneasiness is simply with the fact that the modus operandi of this whole wiki seems to be to rebuild the Fourth Wall as much as possible--to try to pull the H*R corpus into an ordered unity, to speak of it in declarative sentences as if Strong Bad and Free Country USA were real people and places--an attempt which is hampered by the fact that it is, in fact, a work of creative art in continual production and transformation. To that extent, any argument over putative changes or discrepancies in characters or settings can simply be reduced to: "Today TBC said x. In the past they have said y." We are describing nothing so much as a chronology of artistic statements. 
     This is simply amplified by the H*R Universe's (or TBC's) ambiguity towards the Fourth Wall, throughout. The whole notion of sbemails as an "email show," the new "backstage" main page, and several DVD commentaries where characters speak of their "performances" as though they had memorized, rehearsed, and finally filmed them, makes our perception of H*R reality uncertain. When are they aware of an audience? When are we watching their "actual lives," and when is it some show they've produced? Do they know? 
     I don't know why I felt the need for this rant, or why I've gone on so long now. I'm not recommending, by any means, that the wiki be converted to some kind of "book report" mindset; I guess I'm just suggesting that, when we try to make the realities presented in an email like this one agree, we keep reminding ourselves that we're discussing characters who may or may not be presenting a fictitious reality within their own "fictitious reality," all of which is subject to the whims of its human authors. I'm suggesting that we draw a line somewhere, preferably somewhere before discussing how sound effects can have "cousins," or what the names of the sounds in Strong Bad's employment were, and in what order. 
     Perhaps Geddup Noise will enter the cast of characters like Senor Cardgage (another 4th-Wall-Break made flesh); it just weirds me out because unlike the Paper he's not merely inanimate, he's immaterial. But hey, so are Homestar's arms. So there.
[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 06:42, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:     First of all, and this is off the subject, but anyone who would write such an eloquent, lengthy, and insightful essay on the nature of the H*R universe is doing us a disservice by not having a user space to speak of. That is to say, you may be neither strong nor bad, notstrongorbad, but I can tell when someone is my kind of person, and you're it. So get on that user page, why don't you. I for one would like to get to know you.
:     Second, I really like the notion that TBC break the fourth wall, but then we just build it back as best we can. That is by far the best explanation of how we here cope with information that doesn't fit our established patterns. I believe this is a very necessary reaction, because we are essentially writing a straight-faced encyclopedia of a fictitious universe, and the only way we can do that is to take the subject matter as seriously as possible (which is of course incredibly ironic). I think (and if I read you correctly, you agree with me) that most people here operate in terms of what the characters themselves would do if they were real, rather than what TBC are having them do. In my own mind I imagine Strong Bad and Homestar as distinct personalities separate from Matt Chapman. This is partially delusional, but at least I'm aware of it. Again, it makes it easier to write this wiki if one approaches it on those terms.
:     Note that we are not even close to the first to do this. The most notable example that comes to mind is the ''Star Trek'' universe, whose fans have had to incorporate the whims of hundreds of writers into a cohesive canon. In that regard, we're lucky we only have to deal with a handful of contributors.
:Back to the topic at hand, even though the Paper is personified, it is still an item, not a character, and I don't see the Geddup Noise as a character, either. At least not with more to go on. I agree that we must be able to see a line between the fictitious reality and fictitious realities within it. Unfortunately, it's very late as I type this, and my vision is a little blurry.
:     Wrapping up, I will remark on how I like that certain things can cross the line. Senor Cardgage is the perfect example. He began as the so-called Creppy Comb-over Strong Bad, but as he gained more and more appearances, TBC were forced to admit to themselves that Senor Cardgage had become bona fide separate character, and (to me this is the best part) that status was conferred ''retroactively'' all the way back to his first appearance in [[kind of cool]]. In other words, TBC didn't know it at the time, but the dumpy character with the beer belly and a comb-over has ''always'' been Senor Cardgage.
:     I don't know if anything I've written here constitutes rational thought. Like I said, it's too late for me to even proof-read it closely, so forgive any typographical or logical mistakes. And I meant what I said about your user page. ;) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:47, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::Well, notstrongorbad, you're seriously pushing the envelope of talk pagery here. And like dot com said, that's a very good thing. I myself have similar thoughts about the reality/non-reality status of the Universe (H*R and our own), but there's seldom any cause to put them down. Talk pages are such a place for this.

::Sometimes, I'm a fiction writer. When I made the step from short stories to my novel, I was a bit overwhelmed with the amount of characters, idioms, and qualities I was imparting into a true vacuum. From nothing, came something, and before long, that something grew so large certain elements were at odds. Continuity, or lack thereof, became one of my chief editing headaches.

::But my novel was a one-shot affair for the consumer of art - you read it, it's done. You could go back, but it's meant as a cohesive whole (with room for the sequel, of course!), and the reader will either buy into the woven fabric or find fault in it. H*R is a different artistic animal, one that is constantly being added to, constantly being meddled with. This meddling manifests itself in heavy doses of self-referential trickery. It rewards the fan who returns to see what has changed, and challenges that person to make sense of it. And therein lies the greatest joke of all - there really is no sense, or "truth" to be found. In a world of invisible arms, personified noises and disconnected telephones, TBC regularly present an incongrous, even inconsistent, format from which to indulge their comedic leanings.

::But they restrain themselves from complete incongruity, complete inconsistency. There are threads, and there are themes. From these tenuous strings and strands of their imagination, we, the devoted (and quite possibly obsessed) and computer-literate fans of the cartoon try to record it, standardize it, and glorify it. When TBC foist the concept of a personified noise on the viewer, we naively accept it; we want to accept it. As dot com related, thinking of the characters as "real" (and not just the product of Matt doing a funny voice and Mike writing funny dialogue) is simply more satisfying. Thinking too deeply about the underpinnings of these dumb animal characters dilutes the fantasy, and leads to troubling issues such as whether everything we see is the complete fabrication of Strong Bad.

     I should clarify that I don't feel that my impromptu essay was in any way warranted or even particularly on-topic; it was purely an act of venting. In a fit of wikiness I was up WAY past my appropriate bedtime, which probably had a lot to do with its length! And yes, while I enjoy the grad-school-thesis schtick sometimes, I do also know it can get old. Sometimes the appropriate response is simply "Ha ha! He kicked the Cheat! Ha ha!" 
     And please don't misunderstand; I'm not arguing that we shouldn't undertake a systematic, realistic discussion of an unsystematic, non-real world, by any means. The important thing is just to remember, in the back of our minds, that we are.

I think you're whole agurment is a bit hypocritical when you told us in the "Boo" agurment to, "Note that his immobile mustache doesn't necessarily mean he's not making it; when someone's mouth is hidden by a mustache, they can make small mouth movements without it moving visibly."

:     Yeah, I can see what you mean. But actually the two have something in common. I tend to prefer a kind of "agnostic" philosophy about what the things in the 'toons mean. Some things are obvious, and never engender debate. Others are "mostly obvious," i.e. maybe one or two people interpret them differently, but everyone else is in agreement. And then other things provoke great diversity both in how viewers percieve them (see the gr----est debate above) and in how they create meaning out of those perceptions. The rant immediately above was precipitated because attempts to construe meaning out of the relative chronologies of Chairscoot, Geddy, and or other noises had reached an absurdist moment; I was advocating for sticking more to the obvious and undebated. 
:     My comment in the "Boo"/"Doo" argument that you quoted is similarly motivated--there are certain things that are uncontested (although I was wrong to assume that one of those is the identity of the voice). We all agree that a sound occurred, and we agree roughly as to what it sounds like. The debate arises when we try to derive a meaning from the sound. In this case, given that it's not the most important moment in a shot that is relatively minor within the 'toon, I'd argue for not assigning a meaning at all. 
:     The bit about mustaches moving—which, you're right, is a real-world/'toon comparison that my rant above would seem to contradict—was another of my agnostic attempts to hedge my bet, to argue both sides. I emphasize "doesn't necessarily mean"; I certainly wasn't saying either that he is or is not creating the sound. And at least in this case, I'm disinclined to say either for sure; it's non-integral enough that I'm comfortable leaving it ambiguous. — [[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 23:31, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:: Well, I do agree with you that the fervor over minor aspects of a web cartoon seems frivolous. However, we're all here because we LOVE Homestar, Strong Bad and the rest. The whole focus of this love and the purpose of this site is to create an encyclopedic index of everything noteworthy about the series. It's easy to get into odd arguments about the realism of a cartoon, but it speaks of the passion we all have. I think I would hate my job a lot more if it wasn’t for Strong Bad's emails. So I'm inclined to let my fellow passionate fans debate whatever they like, and chime in when it's worth it.

== Sounds and Indietronica ==

Yesterday, somebody tried to make an Inside Reference saying that the sound that accompanied the "Get Outcha Seat Sound" logo was from Lil' Brudder, and was of course deleted with the explanation that "it's been noted that TBC reuse sounds." Now it's been added to the transcript, first as the "Fluffy Puff Nibblins" sound, and then as the "Homsar walking sound." Mightn't a good approach be to either ignore SFX entirely, except where they pertain to the action of the email (e.g. the Standing Up Noise), or else to give SFX that are repeated often enough their own pages, to systemize what they're called?

Unrelatedly: someone deleted the Real-World Reference to Indietronica entirely. While I don't want it to turn into a long list of bands that fit (?) that category, I think it's a significant enough phenomenon and far enough from assumed mainstream knowledge to be needed. Maybe the best way is simply to link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indietronic, even though it's a somewhat sloppy stub. I'm not sure about protocol, though; would linking within the transcript or Easter Eggs section be appropriate, or should it be put back into a Fun Fact?

The sign being called "Bubso's" is already noted in the transcript, and it's obvious that Coach Z calling him Bubso is due to the sign, or that the sign and calling him Bubso are both due to a related reason. Either way, this doesn't have to be pointed out. --[[User:Der Pepper|Der Pepper]]

:I wouldn't have noticed it if it wasn't for this Fun Fact, but then maybe that's just me... --[[User:84.12.176.220|84.12.176.220]] 21:03, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== singer ==

Is the singer really Matt using his high voice? When you download the file, it says Mike Chapman.--[[User:Martin925|Martin925]] 01:55, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:I dunno, but personally, the voice sounds very female. I'd be very surprised if it wasn't.--[[User:Stux|Stux]] 03:14, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::It does sound female, but I don't know who it can be. It doesn't sound like Missy, and I have no idea or any backup if it is Jackie C. Matt is a very talented voice actor though. I guess no one knows for sure!--[[User:Martin925|Martin925]] 04:27, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::I dunno Missy has quite a talented voice too! But yeah, it's somewhat different. I don't know who Jackie C. is unfortunately. And yeah no one knows for sure... for now! I'm sure it'll come out on some DVD or get leaked somehow ;) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 07:11, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:I personally thought it was pretty clear they were thinking of The Postal Service, which would make the voice a (rather good) take on Benjamin Gibbards lofty vocals. --[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 07:23, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::Ok now I have to listen to The Postal Service cuz I don't think I've heard them before! Thanks for the info. I still beleive there's a hint of femininity in the voice. ''Typically'' you can tell the difference between a girl singing Alto in her normal voice, and a guy singing in his falsetto voice. (Though there was this one contratenor who was part of this choir performing in Notre Dame Cathedral that was simply amazing...) ! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 15:37, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::I find it amusing that the boys in the middle school choir I observe are reluctant to hit the high notes, thinking that it's unmanly to use your falsetto. I feel like, "Ever heard of [http://www.subpop.com/scripts/main/bands_page.php?id=412 Postal Service], [http://www.deathcabforcutie.com Death Cab for Cutie], [http://www.sufjan.com Sufjan Stevens], Coldplay, The Shins, Mick Jagger..."--Hey, talk about countertenors, check out [[Wikipedia:Yes_(band)|Yes's]] Jon Anderson! When I was 15 my parents, in a mild midlife crisis, brought home ''[[Wikipedia:Fragile|Fragile]]'' on CD, and I assumed until told otherwise it was a woman singing. --[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 19:26, 1 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::Um, I sing-a the rock and roll music, and sometimes bust out the falsetto - usually for back-up vocals. And the singing here is without doubt one Chapman or the other (my guess is Matt - anyone else hear the faint resemblance to Strong Sad?) doing falsetto. Oh, and no offense if anyone here is a countertenor (or a castrati, for that matter) but those fellas creep me out. — {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 12:25, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::I'm pretty sure it's one of TBC, as with Bottom 10 [the women's voice on the desserts] the voice did sound like it was done by a male but perhaps edited in a audio program to sound higher pitched [at least that's what I think, the comment on the last dessert convinced me], listening to the quote of the day version of it on my higher quality speaker system here it does not sound very female-ish at all to me. - [[User:Mick|Mick]] 01:15, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Scoot ==

Did you guys notice that Strong Bad's computer room is carpeted? Wouldn't it make the Geddup noise and the Chairscoot impossible to make noise? --[[User:Jhonka|Jhonka]]
:Yes... we noted that already. - {{User:Joshua/sig}}
::That's been a long standing contradiction in the cartoon that no one really questions anymore. --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 22:48, 16 Oct 2005 (PDT)

== "Geddup Geddup Geddup!" What the crap? ==
[[Image:Geddupnoisemusicinfo.PNG|thumb]]
That techno song featuring The Geddup Noise does NOT sound like it has "Geddup Geddup Geddup!" in it. It sounds more like a record scratch repeated three times. I know that "The Teach" (Strong Mad's hand in a blue sock) moves its mouth to the record scratches, but I'm not quite sure that that qualifies as saying "Geddup Geddup Geddup!"
:Well, the only thing I can recommend is to use a nice pair of headphones. That sound definitely started its life as a human voice saying "Geddup," but as far as I can tell it never even involved a record scratching (we just get that idea from seeing The Cheat do so). The vocal sample, it sounds to me, has been run through a high-pass filter and bit-reduced. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:42, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
::I say its "geddup." {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 23:45, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

When The Cheat scratches the record, I think it does say, "Geddup, geddup, geddup." You can make it talk. I think it was inferred that the record scratch in "Will 2K" says, "What?" [[User:2Fast2Furious|2Fast2Furious]]
:I'm just going to put this here, but should we note that the info stored on the downloadable file of the song says by Mike Chapman and the CD is Mike Chapman's Album? {{User:DBK/sig}} 08:33, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Strong Sad's Secret Styles

2006-06-18T04:26:18Z

IntelligentCorpse: Crimson?

How old is Lil Strong Bad here? It was sometime after one of his birthdays, we know THAT much, because Strong Sad has a belly-button...

== Is it just me?==

I'm not very soft with cartoon characters, but I still think this easter egg was suitably depressing. Is that just me? --[[User:Skizzot|Skizzot]] 23:38, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I agree. It's cute, depressing, and makes me wish there was a 'toon about these two getting along. --[[User:MrsCommanderson|MrsCommanderson]] 01:37, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== A bit of a stretch ==

''The snow globe could be a reference to the commentary from the Yello Dello DVD, where Strong Sad mentions when he wore an old t-shirt at school that said "I'm #1." ''

Don't you think that's a bit of (a lot of) a stretch, just because he said he wore a '''SHIRT''' at '''SCHOOL''' that said '''I'M #1'''.

:I gotta agree, that's pushing it a little. It's like saying that since Strong Bad says "Holy Crap!" in an earlier email it is referencing a later email. --[[User:Skizzot|Skizzot]] 23:41, 23 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I always felt a certain sympathy for the guy. He just never got enough support! ;D [[User:68.225.242.19|68.225.242.19]] 07:11, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

== Possible Reference ==

I think the page title, 'The Secrets That I Keep,' may be a reference to a line in the song "In My Life" from the musical "Les Miserables." The line is "So dark and deep... the secrets that you keep."

== I'm scarred ==

It's cinda werid that every one here is eather gone or anomimos except for Misscrmanderson. I Just did my bigest edet ever on this page(Not including my pages){{User:Pieinbubsface/sig}} 01:30, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

:That was typical fall-weather apparel of the time. Also, the rest of his clothes aren't a match to ''BTTF''. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:04, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

:::::LOL...I noticed that too when I saw TSTIK. [[User:AlliterativeAssociate|AlliterativeAssociate]] 01:28, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Exept for Strong Bad's pants (which are almost always black) the colors does match. I'm not an American 80's fashion spacialist, but I think it is a reference. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 06:58, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

:Maybe this is just me, but I don't think I've even seen one of those jackets in any other movies from the 80s...how common were they really? [[User:AlliterativeAssociate|AlliterativeAssociate]] 08:24, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
