== Crack Advertizerman? ==

Is it just me, or does the narrorator for the ad sound like Crack Stuntman a little? [[User:The Magic Pixel|The Magic Pixel]] 11:52, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
:um.. It's done by the same person.... sooo...... {{User:Lazylaces/sig}} 11:55, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
::It sounds more like the narrator from the easter egg in [[2 years#Easter Eggs|2 years]]. And Lazylaces, Matt Chapman is an accomplished voice artist. Many of his characters sound nothing like each other, and most don't even sound anything like him. His having done the voice doesn't mean it will sound similar to other characters.{{User:Bassbone/sig}} 12:03, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
:::oops... sorry{{User:Lazylaces/sig}} 12:31, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

== What the pfargtl? ==

Okay, neverminding what 'pfargtl' is a stand-in for in 'WTPF?', how is that an [[Swearing|instance of swearing]]? Pfargtl isn't even a real word. I kind of get it, since the PF is obviously a stand-in. I'm just not wholly sure it should count. - [[User:Wrath|Wrath]] 13:24, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
:Because it's used as a swear, and the implied swear is the joke and is rather clear. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 14:54, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

==Pfargtl: the new fhqwgads==

Because it's random letters, could pfargtl be the next fhqwgads somehow? [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 16:21, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
:Forum topic. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 16:58, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

==Hottest Market On the Money==

That sounds more like something Senor Cardgage would say. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 16:27, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Not that I'm disagreeing with you, but I think Senor Cardgage would also throw in something that sounds like a girl's name. [[User:BoobusToober|BoobusToober]] 16:32, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

== .egg == pom pom? ==

I don't really see how a website in the .egg domain is a reference to pom-pom. I know he's egg shaped and all, but it's totally out of context and random to associate these two things. I'm curious what others think before I bother with STUFF though.{{User:Bryanc/sig}} 16:48, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
:[[pom-pom|Pom Pom]] the sbemail. In it, Homestar and Coach Z are talking, and Homestar says something about something being "dot-egg or dot-muffin or something." - [[User:Wrath|Wrath]] 16:53, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

:It's not Pom Pom's shape that's the reference, it's this line from [[pom pom]]:

: {{User:Trey56/sig}} 16:55, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

:Doh. I had completely forgotten about the "I'm pretty sure it's dot-egg" line. The changed wording makes it much more clear.{{User:Bryanc/sig}} 17:53, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

== Chronology ==

I don't know if this is worth mentioning, but I think we should say that this scene was meant to go between the Strong Sad and Homestar interruptions.

That might work, and please sign your messages with four tildes: <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. [[User:192.235.1.34|192.235.1.34]] 19:12, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

== Home row ==

Just wanted to point out what I thought was a nice touch — when Strong Bad is typing out Coach Z's letters, he types each letter with the correct hand (for home row). {{User:Trey56/sig}} 19:43, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
:No, they messed up 'G'. It should be typed with the left hand, not the right. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:19, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
::Yeah, you're right. Oh well. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 00:24, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

== Goofed goof ==
"On the "Shorts" Toons page, it says "A deleted scene for a delted scene?!" under the description."

Isn't this, in theory, an inside reference to [[50 emails]], as HSR attempts to type deleted? Although it isn't one of the words he tries, it still could be a reference, nonetheless. {{User:Zerlock1124/sig}}

:...I'm gonna have to assume it's a typo. That's *far* more likely than it being a very veiled reference to an old e-mail. -{{User:YK/sig}} 23:50, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Moot point now. It says ''A big deal for a little scene'' on the shorts menu.{{User:Bryanc/sig}} 03:34, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

== Squint Bad ==

Is it just me, or is this the first time that Strong bad's eyes have "squinted" during a toon in dissapointment? {{User:Drippingyellowmadness/sig}} 00:13, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

<del>Uh, not in this matter.</del> I guess it would be exactly that. Closest sad look is in [[retirement]]. But not exact. --[[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 01:14, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

I think each feature should have its own article like [[In Search of the Yello Dello]]. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 00:53, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

:Ehh. The short is all in ONE file; maybe this should say as one file. --[[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 01:11, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

::Yeah, after I wrote that I realized we should wait until we have separate files. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 02:07, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

== Tofu Strong Bad? ==

Hey, could the Cottage-Cheese filled Strong Bad be a reference to Tofu Homestar? [[User:Coveredinharmony|CoveredinSuudzu]] 01:05, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

:Tofu is made of soy, if i recall correctly, not cheese. [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 01:06, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
::OK, that makes sense. But still, it's a dummy made out of food meant to fool people. I still think it may be a reference.[[User:Coveredinharmony|CoveredinSuudzu]] 01:07, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
:::I think it actually qualifies as a running gag by now, doesn't it? - [[User:Wrath|Wrath]] 02:03, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
::::No. I mean... no. Not even close. Sorry. Nope.{{User:Bryanc/sig}} 03:38, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
:::::Then what does, if you don't mind my asking? This is the fourth or fifth time there's been a mannequin sculpted out of food. Granted, it's the first time for Strong Bad; the others were Homestar constructed with tofu, as already mentioned. Is it just that it's a different character and food product, now? - [[User:Wrath|Wrath]] 04:20, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
::::::ah, but it's only the second kind of this type of thing. [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 04:22, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

== Got Sbemail? ==
I'm wondering. How many times before this has another character besides strong bad refer to the emails he checks as "sbemails"? -[[User:drsandsattwo|the doc]]
:Homestar did it once. He typed 'sbemail.com' in [[anything]]. - [[User:Wrath|Wrath]] 02:05, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
::No, that was 'sb_enail.com'. {{User:Mee/sig}}
:::Everyone said sbemail [[rock opera]], and Coach Z also said sbemail in [[Accent]]. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 11:02, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

== Motion Picture Guy ==
Do people think this is a reference to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_LaFontaine ? He is famous for making movie trailers identical in style to the one in this episode. [[User:140.180.173.155|140.180.173.155]] 02:27, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

:Hey just like Alfonzo Cauron and David Yates and Stephen Speilburg and Zach Braff and ... oh... [[TTATOT]].{{User:Bryanc/sig}} 03:44, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
::actually, your examples are directors. you might want to know that lafontaine is the voice behind the trailers, rather than the maker than the movie. his style of voice and announcing is often parody'd. such as in our own strong bad email [[narrator]].
:::As a LaFontaine fan I'm sure you've seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLbYaAqtgXg this cute clip]. I named the directors because, well, they are easy to blame right? {{User:Bryanc/sig}} 04:31, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

==Deleted Words==

I think they're more of a fadeout than a deletion. It seems like they're a reference to some horror film. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 04:47, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

== Everybody! Everybody! ==

The inside reference to "Everybody! Everybody!" deserves some mention here. The background music to [[Dancin' Bubs]], as well as the song played in drive thru stereo through the Dancin' Homestar Runner Musical [[Nobot]] from the [[What I Want]] easter egg. Oh, annnd the name of the ensemble poster. Annnnd it can be heard again in [[Intro]]. Any other instances that I've neglected to mention here? At any rate, worthy of mention in the Inside References, no? --[[User:Cardgage Forty Twone|Cardgage Forty Twone]] 08:12, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

:Well, that ratings screen is a direct reference to [[In Search of the Yello Dello Theatrical Trailer]], so it's only an indirect reference to the [[Intro]]. I'm not sure if it's worthy of a mention here or not... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 08:43, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
::It's not actually mentioned in the [[In Search of the Yello Dello]] page at the moment, though. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 08:57, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
:::[[In Search of the Yello Dello#Inside References|Yes it is!]] {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=In_Search_of_the_Yello_Dello&diff=451584&oldid=451567 ;)}} {{User:Trey56/sig}} 14:17, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

== What up [[g]]? ==

Okay, so Dot com removed the link from:

*Strong Bad uses the correct hand to type each letter in "pfargtl" (using the normal [[wikipedia:QWERTY|QWERTY]] keyboard layout) except for 'g', which should be typed with the left hand, not the right.

because he said it was a coincidence. I say differently. I say, if they went to the trouble to make sure each hand motion was precise, why flub the g? Because there's a running gag with "G" and they KNOW there's people on this wiki with so little time as to check these things. It's very much their style to put in a random, out-of-the-way, hard-to-find reference like this. I say '''link it'''. [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 14:05, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
:I think they messed up on 'g' because they wanted to break up the left-right sequence, which otherwise would be RLLLLLR. Or maybe Mike types 'g' with his right hand. Or maybe they just screwed up. This is all speculation, naturally. I don't think, however, that we should link to it simply because we happen to have an article for that letter of the alphabet. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:21, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

::I had just typed out the same thing as Dot com (now invisicommented) Both explanations are entirely speculation, and neither one is more provable or reasonable than the other. (too bad, though, because I would like to believe the one you stated) {{User:Trey56/sig}} 14:26, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

==Cottage Cheese==
I added a goof yesterday about Homestar's head not being in front of the speech bubble during the theatrical trailer, and it was removed. Now it's back, but it's a remark. What's the difference between a goof and a remark???--{{User:NevaDie/sig}} 21:39, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
:A goof would be accidental, a remark would be deliberate. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:41, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
::I changed it to a Remark because I thought that The Brothers Chaps might have made it intentional. Maybe they wanted to keep Strong Bad out of the view so it wouldn't spoil the deleted scene. Or it could just be a stylistic choice. Either way, it's safer to put it in Remarks than in Goofs. Read [[HRWiki:Standards]] to find out more about Goofs and Remarks. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 21:44, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
:all of the other deleted deleted scenes have changes between them and just the deleted scenes. so its hardly to be unexpected that one of the deleted deleted scenes may have changes from the trailer of jsut the deleted scene.

== DVD Menu ==

This DVD menu, along with the music, is very similar to that of the Office Space DVD. It's probably an intentional parody. [[User:B. Thayer|B. Thayer]] 22:22, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

== Fixed??? ==

I still get hear Coach Z speaking after the trailer has faded out, but this article say's it has been fixed. Is everyone positive it has been fixed???--[[User:Murgatroid|Murgatroid]] 23:05, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

=== Reference? (DECLINED) ===

In the beggining of the toon, when Homestar is "standing behind the gazebo", may be a reference to "A Jumping Jack Contest".

*'''If it is a reference, then it's just accepted, but since there is no reference, it's DECLINE ALL THE WAY, scalawag''' My jingle says it all. THERE IS NO REFERENCE I CAN SEE AT ALL! YES, I MUST YELL! JEEZ! [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 14:35, 22 May 2005 (UTC)Cheatachu72

*<s>'''A Simple Decline''' - No, there is no connection. Simple as that. </s> Actually, '''Rewrite.''' After thinking about it, there ''is'' a slight similarity, (Hence the fact that Homestar was drinking a lot more Melonade than he should and ended up having to use the bathroom), but it's really no reference. It just basically tells you that Homestar has a problem with over-drinking. Reword it not as a reference, but as a character trait. [[User:SaikoRoxi|SaikoRoxi]] 8:28 PM, 23 May 2005
*'''Decline''' Actually, there IS a similarity (think about it!) but not enough for me to call it a "reference". --{{User:Jay/sig}} 15:40, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' Nah. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Decline''' - I dunno how this is a "reference"...is it just because Homestar is releaving himself in both? I don't get the connection -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 18:22, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
** I'm not supporting this fact, but I want to clue you in on the similarity. What do you think Homestar is DOING behind the gazebo? That makes the wood not light later on and had to do with melonades? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:28, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

*'''Rewrite.''' Now that Jay has cleared it up, I know what was meant by the above Fun Fact. It just needs to be reworded in a way that makes sense. (I.e. Homestar drinking several glasses of melonade may be a reference to [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].) Though we're never actually told in The Luau that Homestar urinated on all the logs that Strong Bad tried to light, it is obvious if you pay close attention. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 18:30, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

== Hork, eh? ==

Does Strong Bad's use of the word "hork" require a reference to its origin (''The Adventures of Bob & Doug McKenzie: Strange Brew'', 1983) or has it passed sufficiently into the vernacular to stand on its own? --[[User:Darksasami|Darksasami]] 08:58, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

== ukelele/ukulele ==

I'm new to wiki so i don't know if i'm doing this right, but I'm going through and editing spelling errors, and i don't know if ukelele is spelled right. according to the wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukulele)

The ‘ukulele (pronounced /ʔukulele/, or the Anglicised /ˌjukəˈleɪli/), or uke, is a fretted string instrument which is, in its construction, essentially a smaller, four-stringed version of the guitar. In the early 20th century, the instrument's name was often rendered as "ukelele", a spelling still used in Great Britain. The Hawai'ian spelling ‘ukulele is also sometimes seen.

so i don't know if its right or wrong or if i should just leave it? it could be listed as a goof or a remark too. Also, its listed as Ukulele on most other pages, and ukulele on a few other pages. --[[User:Collin|Collin]] 02:43, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
:Well, if you ask me, use the Hawaiian spelling, as that's what it ''should'' be. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::Well, let's wait and see. Maybe some language experts could help us out (as opposed to Hawaii fans)? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Animation Question ==

I don't know if it's just the [[Toons]] menu or anything, but if this 'toon was released after [[A Jorb Well Done]], how come it uses an older animation style than it? Just wondering. [[User:Homsar Wikiman|Homsar Wikiman]] 14:31, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
:That's a good question. I wonder if the toons menu is wrong. If it isn't, that sure is weird. Maybe we should put that question on [[HRWiki:Questions]]. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 14:39, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

== Hork / Hoard ==

I'm pretty sure that Strong Bad's line is "I know where we can '''hork''' some," not "...where we can '''hoard''' some." I can clearly hear the k at the end of the word, and "hoard" doesn't make sense in that context. "Hork" is slang for "steal", which is precisely what Strong Bad is doing. The word "hork" was used a lot by the McKenzie Brothers of SCTV and the movie ''Strange Brew''. [[User:Aaronak|Aaronak]] 20:37, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

i'm not suggesting anybody uses this, but does any one else notice any echoes of Black Mage from 8-bit theater in Strong Bad when he's discussing the drowning of Marzipan and the Cheat? especially the "Explain to me how drowning them wouldn't ruin their date" line. it's funny, but that's just me.

== Another Reference to Coach Z thinking he's a woman ==

The curlers on Coach Z's head and the rolling pin he's holding seems to be another reference to Coach Z thinking he's a woman, the other being when he said he was a mom in an easter egg at the end of Sbemail #129 Garage Sale.
:I think it's unwise to assume that Coach is conscientiously pretending to be a woman. Can't TBC just stick him in the cartoon to make a final punchline with no strings attached? —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 16:41, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

:Okay bear with me a second. I've never actually seen the Hunt for Red October, so I'm getting this from my mom. In order to hijack the Red October and go to America, they took it out on the maiden voyage. The part of the crew that was in on the plot arranged a fake nuclear explosion and forced the rest of the crew off the sub. That part of the crew was standing on an American ship when the fake explosion occurred, and they sang the Russian national anthem while the Red October "sank". I think that's the reference the Brothers Chaps were going for. -[[User:Wrath|Wrath]]
::Could be that too. You never know for sure what they are thinking. I say we shouldn't try to pinpoint this as a solid reference to anything in particular. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 19:09, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Just to avoid a revert war, I thought I'd post a bit on this topic.

When using direct address, we normally use the quoted punctuation as the terminal punctuation, unless the full sentence's punctuation would be stronger. For example, my friend said, "Don't eat that burrito." I asked, "Why?" (Note the quote is a question, so altough the full sentence would use a period being a statement, the question mark overrules.) Do you know why he said "Don't eat that burrito"? Just so I would say "Why?"!

However, it's common today to not do this with titles, terms set off with quotes, etc. (And by extension, the links on a webpage.) The whole title as orthographically represented is used, and any included punctuation is not considered sentence punctuation in normal situations. While in Baltimore, we saw ''Annie!''. Have you ever seen ''Oliver!''? My favorite sbemail is [[huttah!]].

::And now it's back to not working again... I think I'll just add the link to the article and be done with it. [[User:phlip|phlip]] 15:36, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
:::Not too long ago I could download the .exe from the site without any problems, but today I am again asked for a password. Whatever the reason is, it seems to come and go. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:16, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Hmm... I could download it with Firefox today. From both the link on the article and the easter egg in "huttah!". But I do know that Firefox supports usernames and passwords... --[[User:68.145.103.189|68.145.103.189]] 02:01, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

== Useless? ==

Does this progrum have any other use? -Kinsey

:You need another use? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:28, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

== Sound ==

Some people say that the bird makes a sound in the downloaded version (NOT the one in [[huttah!]] itself!!!) Some say it doesn't. I downloaded it, and I hear NOTHING WHATSOEVER from it. Consensus? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:39, 5 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== A first ==

This is not main-article notable, but notable nonetheless - I believe this is the first time SB ever ran a program (other than email) without using 'run "filemane"'. Considering he uses that syntax in 3 Compy emails, it ought to be mentioned... here. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:31, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
:Perhaps thes people still have the email playing in he background? I have never heard anything other than waves from the downloaded one--[[User:Murgatroid|Murgatroid]] 13:20, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

== Punctuation and quotes ==

Just to avoid a revert war, I thought I'd post a bit on this topic.

When using direct address, we normally use the quoted punctuation as the terminal punctuation, unless the full sentence's punctuation would be stronger. For example, my friend said, "Don't eat that burrito." I asked, "Why?" (Note the quote is a question, so altough the full sentence would use a period being a statement, the question mark overrules.) Do you know why he said "Don't eat that burrito"? Just so I would say "Why?"!

However, it's common today to not do this with titles, terms set off with quotes, etc. (And by extension, the links on a webpage.) The whole title as orthographically represented is used, and any included punctuation is not considered sentence punctuation in normal situations. While in Baltimore, we saw ''Annie!''. Have you ever seen ''Oliver!''? My favorite sbemail is [[huttah!]].

Hope this clears up any confusion. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:44, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Might I suggest getting a '''tremendously''' cheaper account with DreamHost instead? You don't need a lot to run a wiki. Not a lot at all... -- Someguyerson
:Actually we use a lot of bandwidth. The SBEMAIL page just by itself has been accessed 1,241,528 times. We had to go to a dedicated server a year or so ago to handle all the load. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 05:21, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
::Hmmmmm. About how many gigs of bandwidth? If that's not too personal a question! -- Someguyerson

:Read up at [[HRWiki talk:2005 Fall Pledge Drive#Server cost]]. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 05:22, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
::And that discussion is nearly two years old. Our usage has far surpassed what we were doing then. ''Hundreds'' of gigabytes. This is a popular site. As they say, you get what you pay for, thus we pay a lot so that each user's experience here is as hassle-free as possible (which, besides legal reasons, is why we don't have ads or anything like that). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:27, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

==Wikia==
Just a reminder - the offer of free hosting from [[Wikia:Wikia|Wikia]] is still open. It would mean ads, but if you look at [http://uncyclopedia.org Uncyclopedia], you'll see they are quite discrete. I've always liked the way this community is run and I would love you to welcome you all to Wikia if you ever find the hosting costs get too much. [[User:Angela|Angela]] 05:46, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Is it just me, or is it April 1st??--[[User:Murgatroid|Murgatroid]] 07:43, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

:Yeah, the pledge drive is probbly a prank.--<s>[[User:Extremejon|extremejon]]</s>{{unsigned|66.41.238.151|08:55, 1 April 2007}}

::It's not — pledge drives are a pretty ordinary occurrence around here. The "The Homestar Runner Wiki has been shut down." message is the extent of the prank. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 08:57, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

:::Yeah, I only meant the "Shut down" message - I wouldn't accuse fundraising to be a prank--[[User:Murgatroid|Murgatroid]] 10:08, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
