Bottles98: /* "I do hate white clowns"? */

==French Abbreviations==

Originally someone said "The abbreviation for "Monsieur" is "M.", but it is misspelled as "Mssr." in the "French Countryside" e-mail." Then someone stuck below it that Mssr. actually stood for Monseigneur. These two stood for some time, uncombined, until someone combined them a few days ago, perhaps hastily: now it says that Monseigneur stands for Monsieur, which doesn't make much sense. So I hope to set this straight.

Monseigneur's usual abbreviation is actually Mgr. rather than Mssr. ([http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=monseigneur+mssr&word2=monseigneur+mgr take a look]). Mssr. could be a misspelling of that, but it seems more likely to be a mistake based on the abbreviation Messrs. or Mssrs., short for Messieurs, the plural of Monsieur (whose abbreviation is indeed M.).

Incidentally, Monseigneur is an older word, for people of high rank -- I guess kind of like "milord" as compared to "mister." -- [[User:Minivet|Minivet]] 11:12, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

=="Slash"==

Why is it noted in the transcript (and similarly in other transcripts) that Strong Bad pronounces "triumphantly/abundantly" as "triumphantly slash abundantly"? Is there any other way to pronounce it? It seems perfectly normal to pronounce "slash" to me...--[[User:4.244.42.126|4.244.42.126]] 11:49, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)

Well, on radio, he didn't pronounce "voice'''/'''appearance mismatch".

On radio, that slash was used in a different way. Sign your posts.--[[User:That crazy DumDe!|DumDe]] 21:38, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Either way, the slash could simply be omitted while reading aloud. [[User:64.231.93.226|64.231.93.226]] 03:08, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

==Sphere?==

It's possible that the end of the email is a refrence to the book turned movie "Sphere" where the computer apparently "talks back" to the characters in their underwater habitat.

==Missy Palmer?==

This page and the [[Female Lappy 486]] page both say that FL486 is voiced by Missy Palmer. Where was this confirmed? It doesn't sound much like her IMHO... --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 16:57, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)

:I don't know myself. I only put the Missy Palmer fact on the Female Lappy 486 page because I read it here. It may or may not be true, but I hope it's true :) [[User:mathgrant|mathgrant]] 18:37, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)

:As likely as it seems, I don't think it should be listed as a fun fact unless we can actually verify it. People look to this site as a resource; we should make every effort to list accurate information. --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 23:33, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)

:Jus' what I was going to ask. Since there are no credits, we have no proof one way or another that Missy did the voice. It's just word of mouth. I personally think it sounds a lot more like "Mike" Chapman, myself. [[User:142.161.206.50|142.161.206.50]] 13:25, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)

Dear [[User: Jay|Jay]],

Why are you using lazy abbreviations for Female Lappy 486? It is really simple to type those two easy words out, you know! Quit being lazy!

Signed,

[[User: Postal Service|Postal Service]]

Are you sure it wasn't a simulated voice? I think that a computer voice program would be able to say all the the Lappy said. It's a possibility. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]

== Ogre? ==

Okay, when Homestar showed up, he called Strong Bad something. The transcript says it is "ogre", but I think he might've said "ogle". In my opinion, ogle even describes Strong Bad better. I kind of wonder if TBC would say ogle on a G-rated cartoon, but it's really not a bad word, so... you think about that. --[[User:152.163.100.71|152.163.100.71]] 20:29, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)

:Strong bad is an impertinent, flirtatious, or amorous stare? That doesn't make sense... unless you think Homestar was trying to say "ogre" but said "ogle" instead. [[User:68.228.70.62|68.228.70.62]] 23:11, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)

::The first one. Homestar probably tried to say "ogler" or something of that nature and screwed up, or maybe he just thought ogle could be used as a noun. After all, "flirt" can be a noun. --[[User:205.188.116.71|205.188.116.71]] 07:15, 11 Jan 2005 (MST)

:::Sounds like ogre to me. An ogle makes no sense contextually or lexigraphically. --[[User:racerx is alive|racerx_is_alive]] 10:28, 12 Jan 2005 (MST)

::::I thought Homestar tells Strong Bad that Marzipan says he is an oval (presumably because of the shape of his head?) It is kind of slurred, but I hear it that way every time, now.--[[User:Meg|Meg]] 12:02, 12 Jan 2005 (MST)

:::::Why would Marzipan ever call him an oval? Calling him an ogler almost makes sense, but Homestar doesn't even make enough consonantal sounds for that to be what he's saying. "Ogre", however, sounds a lot like "oguw", and sounds exactly like something Marzipan would say about Strong Bad. Also, it should be remembered that what was said was probably said for Strong Bad to hear. Would Strong Bad see "ogler" as an insult? Would he even know what was said?

::::::No, not an oval. There's definitely a "G" sound in there. Also, whether or not Strong Bad sees "ogler" as an insult isn't important. He wasn't offended or irritated by Marzipan's comment anyway. Ogler makes sense, but knowing the H*R style of humor, ogre seems more likely. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]

== Head movement ==

As Strong Bad is typing his e-mail to Leonard Nimoy, his head doesn't move like it usually does, or as it did with the Pink Border. This may also be the first time we've actually seen him typing; his boxing gloves have always been out of frame before. -- [[User:Uncommon|Uncommon]] 11:01, 11 Jan 2005 (MST)

:[[dullard]] gave us a pretty good view, as did [[fingers]].[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 20:11, 11 Jan 2005 (MST)

::Well, to be really picky, you don't see the keyboard in ''dullard'', and ''fingers'' doesn't demonstrate his usual method. Of course, in this one we only see him typing in a fantasy scene. -- [[User:Uncommon|Uncommon]] 22:38, 11 Jan 2005 (MST)

== Removed portion of a fun fact ==

This could be a reference to the recent film [[Wikipedia:National Treasure|National Treasure]] in which designs are found on the Declaration of Independence.

This was immediately after noting that the paper was the Constitution this time. I don't think that this was at all a reference to National Treasure. It could just as easily be a reference to the fact that the Brothers Chaps live in the United States. In other words, I don't think this is a reference until Strong Bad takes the printed on constitution and finds a treasure with it. --[[User:racerx is alive|racerx_is_alive]] 10:29, 12 Jan 2005 (MST)

Yah, but it might be. I say keep it. [[User:Ookelaylay|Ookelaylay]] 21:45, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Jetsons Reference? ==

Does anyone else see the reference to the cartoon, 'The Jetsons' in the dinner scene with the chairs and robotic arm?

Should it be added to 'fun facts'?
--[[User:orang55|orang55]] 16:54, 12 Jan 2005 (MST)

It could be, but I don't think that the reference is clear enough to be added. Perhaps if the section was called Baseless Conjectures, it would work. Actually, if the chairs that they are sitting on are nearly exactly like the chairs from the Jetsons, then yes. If the chairs don't look nearly identical to the chairs from the Jetsons, then no. --[[User:racerx is alive|racerx_is_alive]] 09:27, 13 Jan 2005 (MST)

== Well Played ==

Does anyone think that the line "Well played, Strong Bad" is a reference to anything, or is actually a commonly said line? I'm thinking it could be a reference to the film ''Beckett'' about Thomas Beckett, in which King Henry says at one point "Well played, Thomas." It was a very striking line. Any other thoughts on the subject?
--[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
:Seems like a major stretch to me. If anything, "well played" is likely a reference to competitive games (particularly of the strategy variety) where the phrase would be really common; yet, that seems too broad an area to even mention. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 17:24, 30 Jan 2005 (MST)

::It's actually quite a [http://www.google.com/search?q=%22well+played%22 common phrase] which I don't think can be a reference to any one thing.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:54, 30 Jan 2005 (MST)

:::Good research, Tom. I rest my case. -- [[User:Ogog|Ogog]]

== Scooby-Doo Fun Fact ==

"It is quite possible that Strong Bad's reference to "those weird little kids" could be refering to the Scooby-Doo cartoon series."
This seems like sort of a stretch to me. Sure it's possible, but I don't think it's likely. There's nothing to imply that this is the case; Strong Bad could be referring to anyone.
--[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
*Okay, I decided a STUFFing was in order, so I moved the fun fact there. --Ogog

=== Ping ===
The 'ping' on Strong Bad's submarine was taken from the 23 minute long Pink Floyd epic "Echoes"

*'''Decline.''' how can you tell? -- [[Keab42]]
*I posted this, and I can tell, because I've been listening to it(echoes) like, non stop for the past 4 days, and listened to them togethor(so it played the echoes one AND then I heard the one on the SBEMAIL). they ARE the same ping. Oh, and the ping is played in the very beggining, with NO other sounds so it's very easy to identify. It's also not just a wide spread sample, because the pianist actually 'found' the note and then suggested playing it through a leslie speaker cabinet(or something to that effect). I win. If you wanna hear for yourself: http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/echoes/index.html Once you get into the main site, click the blue box that will eventually appear that says 'echoes' then click 'listen' --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:16, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' You beat me to it, Keab. ;) Whether or not the guy made it, it sounds pretty identical to a standard submarine ping to me. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
**Go listen to that link I posted if you don't believe me. Even if they're using it as a submarine ping, the fact that they took it from a song is notable. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 13:34, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' This fun fact is based on speculation alone. Maybe if there were other Pink Floyd references on the site...
**'''Whaaaa?''' Speculation? Did you even read what I posted? I listened to both of the sounds togethor MULTIPLE TIMES not just go "ZOMG IT IS T3H PING ZOMG PINK FLOYD" But if noone else hears it, maybe I am going insane.
*n/m about this point...
**So... are you changing your vote to Decline? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
*'''Decline''' -- It's just a ping. [[User:Mr. Sparkle|Mr. Sparkle]]
*'''Accept''' You can absolutely tell that that is the ping from Echoes. It's the exact same pitch and time length. That can't be just a coincidence... --[[User:evin290|evin290]]
**'''Second.''' --[[User:MadEwokHerd|MadEwokHerd]] 20:54, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''second''' --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 10:19, 20 Jan 2005 (MST)
***'''Third''' -- It's definitely the same sound. If you import the clip from Echos into flash and publish a swf file to get the compression effect.. it sounds EXACTLY the same. [[User:Olene|olene]] 03:57, 23 Jan 2005
*'''Decline''' I thought all subs pinged. But when I heard this, it DOES remind of my dad's ol' DOS Wolfpack 8-bit 4-color sub hunting game. Subs in movies always ping.
**'''Comment''' All subs do ping, but this is the EXACT same ping as the one from Echoes. They to get the sound from somewhere, and if you listen to the song you'll be able to tell clearly that that's what it is. [[User:evin290|evin290]]
*Oh, please. There's no way to tell for sure. So...'''DELETED!''''
**I beg to disagree. If you actually listen to the song, there is a way to tell for sure. I've said this before but it's the exact same pitch and the same length of time. I bet you anything they ripped the ping noise from that song. If it sounded a little bit like it I would agree with you, but it's the exact same noise! --[[User:evin290|evin290]] 19:47, 17 Jan 2005 (MST) (PS - Sign your posts!)
***Okay, now that someone else notices it, I'm not so sure if I'm still declining it...edit: now that two people notice it, i'm definetely not. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 10:19, 20 Jan 2005 (MST)
*<s>'''Decline''' It is more likely that the sub ping is a generic sound effect and that TBC and Pink Floyd happened to grab the exact same wav file of a sub ping. This would be like saying that when Mario enters a hidden area in Super Mario 64, it's a reference to Quake because the sound effect is very similar, if not identical to, a teleporter sound from Quake. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 09:15, 21 Jan 2005 (MST)</s>
**But that example isn't like saying that the ping is the same because that isn't the same exact sound. The ping is. It's a very unlikely chance that both TBC and Pink Floyd invented the same exact ping on the same exact note with the same amount of dissonance! (sp?) In my opinion that's just impossible! → [[User:evin290|evin290]] 12:46, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**And if you actually READ my above my comments, you'd notice Pink Floyd didn't download the ping(the song was made in 1971 for the lvoe fo god) the pianist of the group actually played the note through a leslie speaker cabinet, so it's not a coincidence. I think it should be a rule you can't decline it unless you've heard the song. --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 23:51, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)
**I'm retracting my vote; the pings do sound strikingly similar. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 03:50, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Since I've been noticing a gigantic argument surrounding this particular fun fact, I'm going to propose a way to solve this.'''
:Now then, it seems that most of the individuals who are declining the fact are not very familiar with the song "Echoes." Since I personally don't believe in voting on a fun fact unless I actually know the details of the fact being disputed, I'm going to do something if others agree to this.
:I have an mp3 of "Echoes" (legally obtained from my personal copy of Meddle) on my hard drive, along with an mp3-to-wav converter and wav editing software. What I will do, if it's requested, is to take out an excerpt from the song "Echoes" (say, the first minute) and post it somewhere where everyone can hear it and draw their own conclusions.
:This way, everyone will have heard the fact in question and will make the voting far more fair. Anyone who thinks I should do this, please respond. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 00:14, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)
**Personally I was abstaining from voting since I'd not heard the song... the clip'd help infinitely, methinks. Do it, please. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 00:25, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)
**Definetely do it. I think a lot of people would realize that they are the same ping if it was easy to access.(but actually if you go here: http://www.pinkfloyd.co.uk/echoes/index.html it plays the said pinging sound as the website opens, so...) --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 00:59, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)
***The reason I want to take this particular approach, however, is the fact that I think a lot of people won't believe it's a sample from the song unless I get a clip from the actual song up here. You know how Kamek up above just thought it could've been the "same wav file" that both TBC and Pink Floyd used (though I don't even think that sort of technology had even been thought up of yet in friggin' 1971). --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 07:54, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)
****Good point. Lets go with your idea...(goes off to headbang to The Nile Song) --[[User:super orange!|super orange!]] 10:06, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)
****You can tell that my knowledge of Pink Floyd can fit between these parentheses: (). I was unaware the song was over 30 years old, thus my comment on wave files. [[User:Kamek|Kamek]] 03:54, 24 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''I have an exerpt on my hard drive now, but nowhere to put it.''' Anyone have an idea where I can put this mp3 for now? Perhaps temporarily upload it to the Wiki, if that's alright by the mods? --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 15:27, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)

*'''good' Thats good to know you actually listened to it before declining. Keep in mind, the sound quality could effect it. Someone should host an SWF of the echoes excerpt, so we can REALLY confirm this...
*'''Decline''' At first I thought they were the same sound, and they do sound pretty similar, but after a close comparison in Goldwave, it's pretty clear the Chaps are just using a generic ping that sounds similar to this note. I've made an audio file for comparison purposes; the first sound is from Echoes, the second is from Dreamail, and the third is the ping from Echoes mixed into the Dreamail clip. [[Media:dreammail-echoes.ogg]] --[[User:HeartBurn Kid|HeartBurn Kid]] 10:51, 25 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline''' Because you have to hear the song and really pay attention to a certain part, I believe that even if it is from the song, it's not fun enough, and also I don't think it's worth putting up fun facts that require anything that need proof from anything other than something easily accessable.

It is quite possible that Strong Bad's reference to "those weird little kids" could be refering to the Scooby-Doo cartoon series.

== "I do hate white clowns"? ==

It sounded to me like Homestar says he hates white clowns, rather than clouds. Obviously Strong Bad is talking about white clouds at the time, but Homestar mishearing/misspeaking/being completely random and silly is pretty much an everyday occurence. Did anybody else hear it that way? - QB
:I think i agree, i listened to it a few times and it kinda sounds like he says clowns.. but it just doesn't make a lot of sense. does remind me of "I really really do like to play with trees.. and ants" in [[Sensitive_To_Bees]]though.
::Clouds here. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 06:46, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

==MediaWiki 1.5==

Will the H*R Wiki and the H*R Fanstuff Wiki be upgrading to [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.5 MediaWiki 1.5]?

While I'm here, I'll just outline some of the new features of 1.5:
*Able to edit the [http://test.leuksman.com/index.php/MediaWiki:Sidebar sidebar] a whole lot easier
*Random [http://test.leuksman.com/index.php/Special:Randompage/Image images], [http://test.leuksman.com/index.php/Special:Randompage/Category categories], [http://test.leuksman.com/index.php/Special:Randompage/User user pages], etc.
*Quickly [http://test.leuksman.com/index.php/Special:Log/move revert moved pages] (for sysops)
*New image uploads only generate one entry in [http://test.leuksman.com/index.php/Special:Recentchanges Recent Changes] instead of two
*Page moves are logged in [http://test.leuksman.com/index.php?title=Stupidpage&action=history Page History]
*You can choose what name Images [http://test.leuksman.com/index.php/Special:Upload upload as]
*Possible to choose the namespace in [http://test.leuksman.com/index.php/Special:Recentchanges Recent Changes]
*A new Print tab

The [[Wikipedia:Main Page|English Wikipedia]] has already upgraded. -- [[User:Super Sam|Super Sam]] 13:30, 2 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:I'd suggest waiting a bit. MW 1.5 is still beta, and they keep discovering new and exciting bugs each time they upgrade a different Wikipedia. -- [[User:Cyrius|Cyrius]] 13:45, 2 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::I think if the Wikipedia has already upgraded, it's good enough for us. -- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 14:01, 2 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::Yeah, it's still beta. It looks great, but we are going to wait until it's a stable release. And probably a itsy-bit longer.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:17, 2 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:::Wikipedia DELIBERATELY use the betas to help find and iron out bugs (after all, MediaWiki was developed for that site). Beta is not suitable for most sites, as there's almost guaranteed to be problems. --[[User:Pidgeot|Pidgeot]] <small>[[User_talk:Pidgeot|(t)]] [[Special:Contributions/Pidgeot|(c)]] <strike>(e)</strike></small> 15:34, 2 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Remember that the Mediawiki developers and the Wikimedia technical crew are pretty well one and the same. When your sysadmins wrote the thing, you can live a little closer to the edge. -- [[User:Cyrius|Cyrius]] 02:08, 3 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::And just to drive the point home, MediaWiki 1.5b2 has been released, which fixes some exciting security holes, including at least one SQL injection bug. -- [[User:Cyrius|Cyrius]] 04:34, 7 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:::MediaWiki 1.5b3 is out. I set a wiki up with it, but I still notice a few bugs. But it looks great. [[User:Ed smildE|<font face="tw cen mt">E<small>D</small>S<small>MILDE</small></font>]]
::Whatever happens, making it doesn't clear the history of the Fanstuff Wiki again. -- [[User:65.188.59.31|65.188.59.31]] 02:38, 15 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Articles Needing Merging ==

I think we should have both a template, and a category for articles that need to be merged. For instance, [[Cardboard Marzipan]] should be merged with [[Minor Alternate Versions]] (yes, I know this has happened already.) I think the template would go something like this: <br>
<div class="boilerplate metadata" style="padding: .1em; margin: 3px; width: auto; background: #EDF1F1; border: 1px solid #999999; text-align: center;">
<small>'''This article, <nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki>, is up for merging with <nowiki> [[{{{1}}}]]. To voice your opinions on this, please see this page's [[Talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk article]]</nowiki>'''</small></div>
[[:Category:Articles Needing Merging]] <br> <br>
Anybody have any opinions on this? --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 17:31, 7 July 2005 (BST)

:Note that we have [[HRWiki:Projects#Things to Merge]] and [[HRWiki:Cleanup#Merge and Redirect]] already.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 00:20, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I didn't know that. I guess I should go look around the wiki a bit more. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 16:58, 6 July 2005 (BST)

== The System Is Down, Yo ==

Homestarrunner.com seems to be down intermittently. And before sbemail133 comes out. It did the same thing last night. Blasted bandwidth issues... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:51, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC)

What? When did that happen? I never got that problem. --[[User:Darklinkskywalker|Darklinkskywalker]] 20:45, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

On Monday when he wrote it? -- [[User:Cyrius|Cyrius]] 03:51, 15 Jul 2005 (UTC)

It's been over a week since TBC have updated the site as of July 11<sup>th</sup> to today. --{{User:Darklinkskywalker/DLSsignature}} 17:48, 20 Jul 2005 (UTC)

==Tell TBC about the wiki?==
I got an idea, but I couldn't think of anywhere else to post it. So anyway, on the end credits on a [http://www.bonusstages.com/bs60.html certain episode of BonusStage], the creator mentions the [http://www.bswiki.com The Bonus Stage Wiki] and says that the wiki is creepy. Because he knows about a wiki for ''his'' cartoon, do TBC know about theirs? If not, maybe we should tell them about what I just wrote, and maybe they'll list us in the credits of one of the toons. I'm not really saying that it's a good idea, but just curious to see what anyone else thinks. --{{User:Darklinkskywalker/DLSsignature}} 02:41, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:I think if they notice us on their own, fine, but we should otherwise leave them alone and let them do what they do best. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:57, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::The Chaps are already aware of the wiki. Tom and I have each had brief contact with the Chaps and Craig Zobel through email. Tom also had the opportunity to meet the Chaps at a presentation they gave at NYU, and they discussed the wiki. I don't think it would be appropriate to expect any recognition from them. We're the fans and they are the artists. We're here to give them recognition, not the other way 'round. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 18:13, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Interesting about the creep wiki comment. I'd say TBC might say the same about this wiki. I hadn't heard of BonusStage, looks pretty cool!

What about the fanstuff? Do they know about that? -- [[User:Strong Lad|Strong Lad]]

:Yeah, they know about fanstuff. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:48, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Excellent - [[User:Strong Lad|Strong]] [[User talk:Strong Lad|Lad]]

:Maybe you just mistyped it, or confused it with another password. Just try again. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:59, 23 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::Also note that there is an "Email new password" button on the [[Special:Userlogin]] page that might help you out.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:10, 23 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I had a similar problem, Tom and Jay are probebly rite. [[User:24.62.243.222|24.62.243.222]] 18:42, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Updates ==

TBC havn't made any new updates on the site lately other than Quote of the Week, Fan Stuff and Sketch Book. I'm getting impatient!!
:They just skipped a week, that's all. Just wait til tomorrow: Monday, the day they usually update.

== Typo on the Main Page ==

Hey, just wanted to let the powers that be know that there is a typo on the main page, in the "featured article" section regarding Strong Sad's Lament. It reads "It originated with in the email website", whereas it should read either "It originated in the email website", "It originated with the email website", or "It originated within the email website". Whoever has access to modify this page please correct this. Thanks!

—[[User:Shawn81|Shawn81]] 13:33, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Fixed, thanks. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:55, 27 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Okay, so what's the deal??!! ==

I don't mean to sound rude, but I don't know WHAT PAGE TO PUT THIS ON!!??!! But, anyway, to answer the question ONCE AND FOR ALL! Who's all of the CHARACTER'S PARENTS??!!! They have millions of references, and stuff, but WHO THE HECK ARE THEY??!!! ARE THEY REAL??!! I just want to know the FRIGGIN' DEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAALLLLL!!!! Please? - [[User:Brittany|Brittany]] - "I'm 12 years old. Am I the youngest here?"
:No one has ever seen or heard of any of main character's parents, so we don't know who they are. - '''''[[User:Joshua|<font color=green>Joshua</font>]]'''''
::We've heard "of" Strong Mom in a few cartoons. But nothing concrete. Other than her existence. Maybe. -- [[User:Cyrius|Cyrius]] 08:21, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)
::: It's a cartoon. Cartoons can have flexible realities. The fact that the Strongs live with their mother, yet she's never seen, is okay because it's a cartoon... You know what would be interesting? If Senor Cardgage were the Strong's father.
:::: We've seen two different versions of Pom Pom's parents - differently-colored Poms in [[Isle of Pom]] and a file cabinet in Strong Bad's hypothetical scenario in [[Family Resemblence]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:37, 25 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Brittany, even if your quote had not said so, I'm sure everyone who reads these boards could tell you were twelve years old. Please do not shout, and try to limit yourself to one exclamation point at a time. [[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]] 06:46, 31 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Trelawney, this question has already been taken care of. If all you have to add are rude comments, please keep them to yourself. Thanks.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:00, 31 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Sorry. I was just trying to help. I wasn't saying it in a rude way. [[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]] 05:42, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:It's okay. Just keep in mind that when you leave a comment, people can't see you or know for sure your mood. Irony isn't always obvious, and blunt, raw text can easily appear rude.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 21:11, 1 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Point taken, I beat my breast. Figuratively. [[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]] 06:38, 2 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Another Archive ==

I think some more sections on this page should be archived again. Maybe the first 20 or so. This page is already twice as large as the archive, and it always shows the large page warning since it's 76 KB. [[User:Ed smildE|<font face="tw cen mt">E<small>D</small>S<small>MILDE</small></font>]]

:Perhaps we should archive this page similar to the way the [[HRFWiki:Talk:Main Page|fanstuff page]] is archived. -- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 12:34, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::Alrighty, it's been a week, so I went and created archives in groups of 20. They're easily accessible at the top of the page. -- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 07:56, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Dudes!!! ==

i &hearts; homestarrunner and crap...but...STRONG BAD DOESN'T ANSWER MY EMAILS!!!

:Join the club. Better yet, [[Special:Userlogin|join the wiki]] and sign your posts. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:22, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Dont blame him. The site is so popular that he gets thousands every day. Imagine, because after '''every''' email the paper comes down with the link to email him. Give him a break.

''Posted by Martin F.''

== marshmallow discrepency ==

the main page has this blurb from the featured article about Marshmallow's last stand, but the text in the blurb does not match the text in the article. what gives?

:The blurb on the main page is just a summary, not the beginning of the article. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 12:52, 15 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::Exactly. On larger articles, the first paragraph usually suffices. But in some specialty articles, the opening paragraph is neither long enough nor fully explanitory, which then calls for some tweaking specifically for the Main Page summary. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 02:17, 17 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== So much freedom? ==

I love how anyone can edit things whenever we want to on HRWIKI, but dont you think thats a lot of risks? someone stupid and careless can easily take the pages and erase them or say something wrong. Is there a way to stop that?

''Posted by Martin F.'' (I've been putting this signature until I get my username updated lol)

:Stopping vandalism and other inappropriate edits is easy. First of all, there's strength in numbers. The vast majority of users are not stupid or careless, and are willing to patrol the wiki to protect it from those who are. The main tool for this is the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes page]], which allows users to monitor the current edits. Reverting a page that has been vandalized is a simple and straightforward procedure. All in all, the risk isn't that great, and the freedom of the wiki more than makes up for the necessity of having to keep an eye on things. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:47, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Eggs a running gag? ==

I seem to have found some evidence of eggs being a running gag. First their is [[Strong Bad's EGGS]], then there is Homestar's mentioning of dot-egg from [[pom pom]], then there is the eggs for sale for $EGG from [[garage sale]]. Anyone with me? --[[User:Strong Rad|Strong Rad]] 03:18, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:I noticed it too. But this is more of an inside joke than a running gag. It's not ''that'' funny, but i guess it is to the Chappos. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 09:24, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

OK, I'll continue the search using the query "eggs -easter". I'll report any new items I see on <del>my user page</del> [[Eggs| this page]]. --[[User:Strong Rad|Strong Rad]] 02:34, 21 Aug 2005 (UTC)

PS: Whoever added the Eggs page to the Inside Jokes category, thanks.

:That would be {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} (according to the page history) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:27, 21 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:No, Thank you. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 05:12, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== New Updates ==

I think the Strong Sad's Lament update (August 15, 2005) should be edited to contain this:

*[[Strong Sad's Lament]]: Stats n' Stumps
*[[Strong Sad's Lament]]: New quote and picture

-- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 08:13, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

*Well I don't have that much of a preferance one way or another, but if you do, go back over the dates of the known avatars, and add them to the correct days as well in the Updates Archives. (Just the ones with a specific date on them) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:11, 20 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Link on user page to user website ==

For the lack of a better place to post this, I posted it here, well can I post my website on my user page. --[[User:Sultn|Sultn]] 00:24, 21 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:You can't copy your website onto it, but you can link to it there. - '''''[[User:Joshua|<font color=green>Joshua</font>]]'''''

Cool. That's what I meant anyway, thanks!--[[User:Sultn|Sultn]] 00:27, 21 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== cPanel??? ==

As i typed in hrwiki.org today, i got a strange error message :

There is no website configured at this address.

You are seeing this page because there is nothing configured for the site you have requested. If you think you are seeing this page in error, please contact the site administrator or datacenter responsible for this site.

About cPanel:

cPanel is a leading provider of software for the webhosting industry. If you would like to learn more about cPanel please visit our website at http://www.cpanel.net/. Please be advised that cPanel is not a webhosting company itself, and as such is not responsible for content found elsewhere on this site.

I know i typed in the address right, i even typed it in again.. i typed in the entire thing.. http://www.hrwiki.org and i got the exact message. then i googled hrwiki and the first one came up as the right site you know, and i click on that and everything is fine. i'm so confused.. has anyone ever seen this before? is this some sort of spyware on my computer or something? did i actually type in the right address? am i putting this in the right section anyway??? --[[User:Collin|Collin]] 03:38, 24 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:What time of day did you get the error? And for how long? I just upgraded to [[Special:Version|version 1.4.8]] about five minutes ago. We were only not up and running for about 2 seconds, and the errors you would have received were PHP errors, not cPanel errors. Are you sure about the domain? What browser are you using?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 03:45, 24 Aug 2005 (UTC)
::well it was 9:35 PM (mountain time, i dont know what time it is on the wiki) and it was only for a few seconds.. I looked at my history and under hrwiki.org is the cpanel error, and under www.hrwiki.org i get the real site. i dont know how you can get to an entirely different site from just not typing in www. i tried it just now without the www and here i am, no problems. I'm using IE 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.030422-1633 so basically ie 6.0 ^_^ --[[User:Collin|Collin]] 05:07, 24 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Sidebar ==

Whatever happened to the sidebar??!?!? --[[User:Color Printer|Color]] [[User talk:Color Printer|Printer]] 11:58, 24 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:If you're refering to the external links, thanks for pointing that out. It seems to somehow be missing. I'll ask [[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]], I'm sure he'll be able to fix it. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 12:26, 24 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::Fixed. Thanks. It had to do with the upgrade I mentioned earlier.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 20:14, 24 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::Ahh, okay. Thanks you. --[[User:Color Printer|Color]] [[User talk:Color Printer|Printer]] 20:25, 24 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::What new features come with this new version? {{User:Super Sonic X/Sig}}

==Image==

Ummm... for some reason I can't save that image on the sidebar (HRWiki logo). Is it protected or something? I had to make a .tif file of it.

:No, it's just embedding into the page differently (something like that). If you have Firefox, you can go to Tools > Page Info > Media and in the list somewhere will be [http://www.hrwiki.org/skins/common/images/wiki.png the logo]. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 06:15, 28 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Linking to fanstuff and forum ==
I have a little suggestion. Maybe someone should link the [http://forum.hrwiki.org forum] and the [http://www.fanstuff.hrwiki.org fanstuff wiki] to the main page, because I didn't notice the forum until I took a good look at the welcome message, and I didn't notice the fanstuff wiki until I was browsing around people's user pages. --{{User:RJMT/sig}} 03:15, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:They're both linked on the sidebar (under "external links"). I don't know how they could be any more visible than that. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:17, 30 Aug 2005 (UTC)
i dont know i dont think so

== LOOK AT THIS ==

I was just reading an interview where it says:
(quote on quote)

"Of course, there are times when we think, why can't Strong Sad just say: '****! I hate this bull****!' There are countless outtakes of that kind of stuff. We were thinking of making The Swear Episode, where they just cut loose after all this time."

TBC had said this in an interview, and I am not only shocked, but relieved that they did not submitt a toon like that.

:Scary... but I was aware of this. What interview is this exactly? - '''''[[User:Joshua|<font color=green>Joshua</font>]]'''''

I think this is the website[http://www.flakmag.com/features/homestar.html]. {{User:Homestramy20/sig}} 02:19, 9 Sep 2005 (UTC)

*Oh, come on people. They ARE adults you know. Besides, I always believed that they were kidding around about that, which they're allowed to, as they are GROWN MEN. Geez, grow up and take a joke, people. It's not like they're REALLY going to make a "Swear Episode" ;) --[[User:Bottles98|Bottles98]] 16:06, 12 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== What? ==

I would say this on the Fanstuff Wiki, but it's locked. How come I can edit on this wiki, but not on Fanstuff? --[[User:Mini-Trogdor|Mini-Trogdor]] 16:56, 11 Sep 2005 (UTC)

'''Strong Bad Email #126'''

Strong Bad shows us the best thing he's ever seen, done or eaten: the quickly cancelled pilot of [[Limozeen]]: [[Limozeen: "But they're in space!"|"but they're in space!"]]

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}}, [[Gary Palaroncini]], [[Larry Palaroncini]], [[Perry Palaroncini]], [[Mary Palaroncini]], [[Teeg Dougland]], {{Film|Strong Sad}}, [[Mitch Overlord]], [[Bozar]], {{Film|Nebulon}}

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' You got to ''e''-mail, just to stay alive! ''{types "strongbad_email.exe", begins reading}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: What's the best...</div>
Dear Strong Bad, <br />
How you doin'? I have three quick questions...<br />
1. What's the best thing you've ever seen?<br />
2. What's the best thing you've ever done?<br />
3. What's the best thing you've ever eaten?<br />
<br />
Later,<br />
Albin J. (from Maryland)</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad doesn't read the numbers, and after saying "seen", he immediately follows with "done, eaten." He also whispers "from, from Maryland." Then he clears the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm doing real real ''{types "rrll rrll"}'' well Albi. Believe it or not, I've got one answer for all three questions. And that answer is...

''{Cut to an image of a video tape labelled "Limozeen cartoon" and "Don't record over for dang's sake!!!"}''

'''SINGERS:''' Limozeen!

'''STRONG BAD:''' The only known copy of the failed pilot episode of the Limozeen Saturday morning cartoon shoooooooow!

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' It only aired once at, like, 4 a.m. some forgotten Saturday. And guess who was already up and eating brown sugar straight from the box? That's right, Strong Sad. But then I got up and started watching TV. If not for my The Cheat-like VHS reflexes, it would have been as lost as four-armed Grimace. ''{clears screen}'' I'll let you guys see it, but please, no flash photography or video taping. It could damage the precious oils and heavy metals of this priceless piece of television history.

''{Cut to the cartoon. It opens with "Metalmation" appearing in large block letters, followed by "presents" in cursive.}''

'''SINGER:''' <br>
Remember those guys from that band Limozeen?<br>
Well, they turned their tour bus into a space machine!<br>
But they're still Limozeen!

'''LARRY:'''<br>
We're still Limozeen!

'''SINGER:'''<br>
But they're in space!

'''LARRY:'''<br>
But we're in space?!

''{Now the title screen is shown: LIMOZEEN "but they're in space!" The Limozeen members appear in animated form below. Teeg walks in from stage right.}

'''TEEG DOUGLAND:''' I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys. You're in space!

''{One final chord of the theme song plays.}''

''{Cut to the Couch. Strong Bad is sitting on it, while Strong Sad is leaning on it from behind.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh-ho-ho! So classic!

'''STRONG SAD:''' But why are they in space? There's no reason for them to be in space!

'''STRONG BAD:''' On the contrary, my dear Fatson! There's ''every'' reason for them to be in space.

''{Title card for "ENCOUNTER AT GROUPULON 5" by A. Chimendez appears. From there, it cuts to the Limozeen members running away from a pair of flesh-colored hands, a pair of blue hands, and two magenta tentacles.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrating}'' So, one of their main goals is to both run away from and give backstage passes to all the hot babe-liens of the galaxy.

''{The Limozeen members run into their tour spaceship.}''

'''TEEG DOUGLAND:''' I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys. None of the hot alien chicks from Groupulon 5 have backstage passes to tonight's show.

'''LARRY:''' Then whose midriffs are we gonna sign?

'''GARY:''' What happened to all the passes, Teeg?

'''TEEG DOUGLAND:''' Galactic Radio gave them all away. To Mitch Overlord.

''{The members of Limozeen gasp, as we cut to Mitch Overlord's lair}''

'''MITCH OVERLORD:''' That's right, Limozeen! I was the one million, six hundred and eighty-five thousand, four hundred and twenty-first caller! ''{He raises his claw-like right hand, which says MITCH!, and opens and shuts it twice.}''

''{The members of Limozeen are shown running again, this time from nothing that can be seen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrating}'' And sometimes the magical prankster Bozar appears and turns reality upside-down.

'''BOZAR:''' Riddle me twice, Limo-losers! How are you going to play tonight's show after I turn your instruments into Italian noodles?

''{The band is greeted with "boooos" as they attempt to play a concert with their noodle-instruments anyway. The word NOODLES! appears in lights behind the stage. Mary eats his noodles instead.}''

'''MARY:''' This is the best show ever, guys!

''{Canned laughter is heard.}''

'''LARRY:''' Mary, quit eatin' your drums!

''{Cut to the outside of the tour spaceship flying through space. Nebulon flies past.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrating}'' But most of all, the episode centers around the boys making sure metal stays number one throughout the galaxy.

''{Cut to spaceship interior}''

'''TEEG DOUGLAND:''' I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys. We've been knocked off the charts in the Forbidden Zone by an alternative rock band.

'''PERRY:''' But their bassist is a girl!

'''MARY:''' And the drummer's got short hair!

'''LARRY:''' And the lead singer wears glasses!

''{Cut back to the couch. Strong Bad throws the remote at Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ow! What was that for?

'''STRONG BAD:''' For you and your kind destroying metal! Chuck Taylor-wearing, low self-esteemers...

''{Cut back to the cartoon. The band is practicing as Teeg walks up to them.}''

'''TEEG DOUGLAND:''' I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys. Our pilot episode has been cancelled.

'''LARRY, GARY, PERRY, and MARY:''' What?

'''GARY:''' Oh well. I guess I won't be needing this anymore. ''{He throws his guitar offscreen.}''

''{Cut to the real Larry on Strong Bad's television, who catches the real equivalent of the guitar.}''

'''LARRY:''' Oh, thanks, Space Gary! I can't believe we got cancelled! Weeeeeell, join us next time, kids! In syndication! Or maybe on DVD! ''{plays a short tune as the TV fades out. Strong Bad returns to the Lappy.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Whattaya think, Albi? If that's not the best thing you've ever seen, done, or eaten, then may I politely ask you to gouge out your eyes, cut out your tongue, and um, have all your done ''{short pause}'' removed.

''{The Paper comes down.}

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on "brown sugar" to see a box of "[[Suge Brown]]" brown sugar, with the tagline "Don't borrow from thy neighbor" and a weight of "one whole pound".
*At the end of the email, click "eaten" to see a member of Limozeen question his hair color and size:
*:'''MARY:''' How come they made me fat and have red hair?
*:'''LARRY:''' Because you're the comic relief-uh!
*:''{Mary burps very loudly}''

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
*The fact that Limozeen's cartoon takes place in space for no good reason is likely a reference to several other cartoons which also took place in space for no reason, like ''[http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-5297/ the Partridge Family, 2200 A.D.]'', ''[http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-2345/ Gilligan's Planet]'', and ''[http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-7865/ Josie & the Pussycats In Outer Space]'', all of which had extremely short runs (usually only one season).
**The Limozeen cartoon is also likely a riff on Hanna Barbara cartoons that featured bands who solved crimes or fought villians. In addition to ''Josie'' there was ''Jabberjaw'' and ''Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids''. Teeg Dougland's repeated mantra of "I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys" is a parody of band managers in such cartoons, who were often only featured as characters for plot exposition.

=== Trivia ===
*Teeg Dougland was voiced by [[Mike Chapman]] who looks almost identical to Teeg.

=== Remarks ===
*This email gives a good answer to Strong Bad's own question in [[different town]] when he tries to think up the Best Thing Ever, which turned out to be beef stew.
*Strong Bad's tape lacks the little tab that can be pushed out to prevent people taping over it, a chief concern with the cartoon tape.
*Although elements of the Limozeen in Space cartoon such as the animation style and mention of the popularity of hair metal bands seem to suggest that it would have been aired in the '80s, Larry mentions DVDs at the end, which first hit the American market in 1997.
*When Limozeen is flying in the spaceship, the background is looping; a common practice in old cartoons.
**However, the scene doesn't loop well, as there is a noticable seam in the background.
*If the pilot episode was cancelled, then the "animators" would have had to know that while they were animating and recording the voices. Cartoons aren't exactly live.
* Even though [[Strong Bad]] dises Chuck Taylor weares [[Mike Chapman]] wears Chuck Taylors as revealed by Some Puppet Stuff on The Strong Bad DVD disc 3.

=== Goofs ===
*Just before Strong Bad sits down at the Lappy, you see almost his entire head, but you can't see the laces on the back of his mask; usually when they show that much of his head (such as in [[crazy cartoon]]) you see those laces.
*When the space-mobile is flying at supposed hyper-speed, the stars flying by in the background are streaking the wrong way.
*When we see the TV and VCR in Strong Bad's basement, the VCR shows no sign of a tape being inside it nor of any playback. (VCRs typically have some type of counter or a "play" graphic on their display.)
*When the tape is being displayed, Strong Bad is supposedly typing (as his spoken line is seen when the Lappy is shown again). However, the typing sound effect is not heard.

=== Inside References ===
*The green alien which floats by in one scene is Nebulon, as seen in [[New Boots]] and [[Main Page 1]].
*The teleplay for Limozeen's cartoon is written by [[A. Chimendez]].
*Teeg Dougland is the name of the director of the [[Moving Very Slowly]] video on the [[strongbad_email.exe]] DVD. He is identified as the manager of the band at the NYU talk during the showing of a Limozeen coloring book 'game'.
*[[The VCR]] is still blinking from [[12:00]] and someone removed the alarm clock that [[Bubs]] duct-taped to it.
*The guitar that Space Gary tosses is the same one seen in [[Puppet Time]].
**It closely resembles a KE3 Kelly model guitar by ''[http://www.jacksonguitars.com/ Jackson]''.
*The villain, Mitch Overlord, has a claw that is the same as the one from [[Kick the Cheat]].

=== Real-World References ===
*As a magical, large-headed trickster, Bozar calls to mind such characters the Great Gazoo from ''The Flintstones'', but his insulting manner and fondness for transmutating objects to cause trouble make it clear that he is most strongly inspired by Superman villain, Mr. Mxyzptlk. His "riddle me twice" taunt is a reference to the Riddler from the '60s Batman TV show, in which the villains often taunted the Dynamic Duo by mocking their names.
*"Metalmation" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Filmation|Filmation]] animation studio, with the logos looking very similar. Filmation was famous for churning out cookie-cutter cartoons many of which also took place in space for no good reason.
*The repeated "band being chased" segments may be a reference to a Hanna-Barbera 70's staple of stock-footage chase scenes, which appeared most prominently in Scooby-Doo. Also, this may refer to the Beatles, who spent a good deal of "A Hard Day's Night"—supposedly a typical day in the life of the band—running away from adoring female fans. [[Image:evil-grimace.jpg|thumb|Four-armed Grimace]]
*"Four-armed Grimace" is a reference to the purple McDonaldland character. Grimace was originally named "The Evil Grimace", and he had four arms—so that he could hold many shakes at once.
*"On the contrary, my dear Fatson" is an adaptation of "Elementary, my dear Watson", a line often attributed to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's character Sherlock Holmes, though he never actually used that exact phrase in the Holmesian canon.
*The space logo of Limozeen is very similar to the logo of the Nintendo game series Metroid.
*The laugh track used in one scene is a typical element of older Hanna-Barbera cartoons featuring more realistic characters, intended to incite laughter in the same manner as a sitcom. It may sound dry and out of place to modern viewers.
* Mary asking "How come they made me fat and have red hair?" draws attention to the manipulation of characters in cartoon adaptations to clearly defined sterotypical roles. In particular, Mary's question references the cartoon [http://www.tvtome.com/RealGhostbusters/ ''The Real Ghostbusters''], where the Dan Aykroyd character (from the ''Ghostbusters'' film) was modified into an overweight redhead.
*Limozeen being kicked off the charts by an alternative band with a girl bassist references the death of hair metal in the early '90s, when bands like [[Wikipedia:Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]] and [[Wikipedia:The Smashing Pumpkins|the Smashing Pumpkins]] (who actually had a girl bassist) were able to have success.
* The phrase "Chuck Taylor wearin'..." refers to [[Wikipedia:Converse Shoes|Converse High Top Basketball Shoes]], designed by Chuck Taylor. "Chucks" are a signature look of Grunge, Punk, and Metal that happened after 1990.
*The scene at the end, where the cartoon throws the guitar to the real-life band member, pokes fun at almost every '80s cartoon that had a (semi) famous person behind it—where the cartoon would transition/interact with the real person from off screen: Fat Albert, Alf, M.C. Hammer, Mr. T, the Harlem Globetrotters, and many others all closed the episode with the real-world people.
*The entire tape of the Limozeen cartoon includes a "VHS grain" effect, most visible during the black METALMATION intro (note how the background appears to be randomly speckled). This artifact of VHS recording results from multiple generation copies, repeated erasing/recording, and from recording in extended tape speeds. This is a different technique for VHS "authenticity" than the kind used in the [[Character Videos]], however.
*Encounter at Groupulon 5" is most likely a reference to Encounter at Farpoint (the first episode of ''[[Wikipedia:Star Trek: The Next Generation|Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'').

== DVD Version ==
*On the DVD version, a Credits sequence is added after Gary's real-life bit.
*Another change is "and, um, done." being added before "have all your done removed."
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

('''Commentary by:''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey Mike, hey Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Hi Strong Bad, hi Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's the Strong Bad. The Strong Bad.

'''MIKE:''' ''The'' Strong Bad? ... So, Strong Bad, I gotta tell ya. This is my favorite email.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow!

'''MIKE:''' I'm really gonna enjoy this one. I'm glad to be here with you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm glad to be here with you, Mike. You just took a shower; you smell nice.

'''MIKE:''' I actually played basketball this morning and have not showered since then.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh.

'''MIKE:''' Interestingly enough.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow, you mask it well!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Thanks. ''{pause}'' I thought it was gonna be you that—

'''STRONG BAD:''' See? I faked you out. That's, that's what it's like when you live with the Strong Bad.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' I can't imagine.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Four-armed Grimace, Mike. A relic. I have a four-armed Grimace diary, like the Grail diary, from ''Indiana Jones''.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''STRONG BAD:''' All these little pits—

'''MIKE:''' Bits of evidence?

'''STRONG BAD:''' —pits and teeses of where, of where he might have been.

'''MIKE:''' You know, Strong Bad, my brother Matt and I were in a band called Grimace in high school.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, we—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Was it as good as Limozeen?

'''MIKE:''' We were never as good as Limozeen.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What I don't understand is how come the theme song is, like, this terrible banjo song with some skat band singing.

'''MIKE:''' That's the way cartoons were back then.

'''STRONG BAD:''' But they're a metal band!

'''MIKE:''' Well, you can't put metal on Saturday mornings.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, I love Teeg's style, I gotta tell you what. That, I have, I sought out a light-blue turtleneck and some peach-colored—

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Peach-colored-type pants.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. With flared at the bottom for sure.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah; it's good style.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um, does he have a problem with people remembering his name? Why is he, like, nobody else is labeled. Like, personally I have trouble telling the Limozeens apart.

'''MIKE:''' Well, it's—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look at that hot, blue alien. D'ja see her?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I saw her hand.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hot Blues. I call her Hot Blues.

'''MIKE:''' I don't think it's 'cause—Do they ever say Teeg's name? I guess they say Teeg—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, ''somebody'' does.

'''MIKE:''' —but no one ever knows—Teeg Dougland, this is his first appearance.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I don't know ''his'' name ''{indicating one of the Limozeens}''. What's his name? "Lead Singer Limozeen"?

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' That's Gary. That's Gary and Larry.

'''STRONG BAD:''' How do you tell 'em apart?!

'''MIKE:''' Because I—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that guy is awesome. Mitch Overlord, I wish he was in more episodes of this show that has just one episode.

'''MIKE:''' He's labeled, too.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, ''{laughing}'' people have—I guess, I guess kids are pretty dumb. You know? So that's what I'm saying. Now that guy doesn't have a label, but you're not gonna mix him up with—Look at those disgusting horns, like, tearing, are those, those are an accident, bursting out of his brain.

'''MIKE:''' Man that bass player is really trying.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' Noodles! Noodles! Noodles! Noodles! The crowd should be goin' nuts right now! Man, anytime something flashes in big lights behind the band at a show, you chant it! You know?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I agree, I agree.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I agree too.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Okay, you agree with yourself.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes!

'''MIKE:''' Apparently Teeg Dougland looks exactly like me, Strong Bad. What do you think?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't, I don't see the resemblence.

'''MIKE:''' Me either.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I think you look kinda like that tall guy in the middle ''{one of the Limozeens}''.

'''MIKE:''' I definitely don't—that's Perry.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's Perry. How do you know these guys—they're my favorite band, I can't tell them apart! The only one I know is the one they made be fat and have orange hair. Like, I appreciate that, that that's Ron.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' That's Mary. Ron?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughing}'' Ron Limozeen.

'''MIKE:''' His name is Mary Palaroncini.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, his name is Mary?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' There's a guy in Limozeen named Mary?!

'''MIKE:''' Yes.

''{They watch the transition to the live action.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh! Whoa, who's that guy?

'''MIKE:''' Live-action cut scene.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man! See, that—it would be awesome to have the real band.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Strong Bad, look behind you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

'''MIKE:''' That's where we are, right there, that sound room that he's in.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That guy from Limozeen was in this sound room?

'''MIKE:''' That's right.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, it's almost like this is real, live, fake subtitles.

''{Mike laughs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Right, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' That's right.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, Brett Bretterson is the worst animator, did you know that?

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' I thought I was.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yeah, you are. There's that Bubs, that starts runnin' at me.

'''MIKE:''' ''{still laughing}'' I made your, I made your head wiggle right here.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good job!

'''MIKE:''' Thanks!

'''STRONG BAD:''' That is a painful operation.

=== Fun Facts ===
*Strong Bad mentions that [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#Brett Bretterson|Brett Bretterson]] is the worst animator. Not only is no animator credited, but Strong Bad himself made Brett Bretterson up for [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 4]]!
