{{Main Page Talk}}
== RSS ==

How closely to new toons, etc is the feedburner page updated? {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 10:57, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
:Most likely around the same time the toon is uploaded. --[[User:Essence of Ghost Water|Essence of Ghost Water]] 12:41, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

I believe I have a [http://validator.w3.org/unicorn/check?ucn_uri=hrwiki.org%2Fw%2Findex.php%3Ftitle%3DSpecial%3ARecentChanges%26feed%3Drss&ucn_task=feed#feed_warning bug report] about the Recent Changes RSS feed. See I had subscribed to the feed in [http://brief.mozdev.org/ my feed reader] and because of the warnings, I'm constantly seeing the same entries pop-up over and over again in my reader.

I like read all 40 currently present and then some time later the 40 come back with only one or a few new and the rest I already read. --[[User:Ngamer01|Ngamer01]] 17:55, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

== Xeriouxly Forxe Pic ==
On the What's New area, Xeriouxly Forxe toon's pic is the copyright picture. Is that intentional? 22:15, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
:I knew i'd heard this somewhere before. it took me a minute to find it, but [[Template_talk:whatsnew#Xeriously|here it is]]. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 22:28, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
::Now that April Fools' is over, I made a Xeriouxly Forxe icon and switched it to that. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:56, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
:::But will the Xeriouxly icon even be used in the future? We don't even know if TBC will make the XF it's own spin-off. {{User:Nova Scotia/sig}} 23:58, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
::::Then I won't charge you anything for making the icon. You can have it for free and hold it in reserve in case they ever do. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:01, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

== First Time Here ==

Has the First Time Here bot's text ever been changed since its creation? Because it is in desperate need of updates. Also, the following line needs to be reworded:

"If you're looking for more community interaction, you can also register over at our forum, or if you're feeling creative, you can register separately at the fanstuff wiki." But now the Knowledge Base and the Fanstuff have the same user database, so you shouldn't really register separately. And on a side note, why was the Fanstuff Wiki reopened when it was said [[User talk:It's dot com#When will the fanstuff wiki be back?|here]] that it would never be reopened? And why do they now share the same user databases? {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 13:42, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
:You might want to check the timestamps in the reply you linked to. That's a good catch though on the First Time Here bot. I'll fix it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:13, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

== Proper Placement of Quotation Marks ==

I just noticed [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?diff=700141&oldid=699872 this], and was wondering if there was a discussion on proper quotation placement. In the united states, it's punctuation then quotation mark, but elsewhere--mainly--it's quotation mark then punctuation. Or so I have learned. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 21:31, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
:See [[HRWiki:Manual_of_Style#Quotation_marks]]. {{User:Elcool/sig}} 21:56, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
::Actually, it's ALWAYS punctuation before quotation marks. {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 08:44, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
:::No, it's not. In the US, traditionally grammarians have said always to put the full stop or comma before the close quote; in the UK, it's standard to follow the sense of whether the full stop or comma belongs with the quoted material. Examples: 1. ''She said "I want to go to some pizza place."'' 2. ''She said she wanted to go to "some pizza place".'' The Wiki generally follows US standards for spelling and punctuation, but here we've made an exception and tend to use the latter system. It's not clear to me exactly why we do so, but I'm still for it because honestly, the US system doesn't make any sense at all and I refuse to follow it, anyway. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 08:55, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
::::Hear, hear. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 08:57, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::That's about how i've gone about editing the wiki ever since [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Blatant_Lies&diff=prev&oldid=661862 this edit] was changed. for some reason i still remember that. I wasn't sure which one it was, and apparently i guessed wrong. by now i have a better feel for how it's done here, and i just know when to use ." this and when to use ". that. i think i made that particular edit based on OSG's rule. and i am an American, yet i have to agree w/what heimstern said about the rule not making any sense. and the previous sentence from yet onward may be disregarded when concerning question marks (which is the rule that threw me off on that edit haha). <--which brings us to a similar question: what about periods before or after parentheses and parenthetical phrases? {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 09:31, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
::::::parentheses, square brackets, curly brackets, etc. [should] follow the exact same rules as quotation marks. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 10:36, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::::Periods almost never go inside a closing parenthesis (and I can't think of any time that a comma does). (Only if the entire sentence is in parentheses does the period go inside.) As for quotation marks, I strongly prefer the U.S. style in printed materials, like magazines and books, but for the wiki I prefer our custom style because of the default font we use. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:29, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
::::::::And what about parenthetical phrases (like, whether or not a question mark should go before or after the green)? this isn't a good example, but at least it shows what i'm talking about. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 03:33, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
:::::::::You should be able to remove a parenthetical phrase from a sentence and still have it make grammatical sense. If you put the question mark inside the green, and then removed the green, the sentence would be missing its terminal punctuation. But you can still sneak questions in with declarative statements, like this (see?). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:03, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
::::::::::i already know what happens ''inside'' the green. i'm asking about before the ( vs. after the ). {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 18:20, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
:::::::::::After. A parenthetical phrase either has to be a part of a sentence (in which case the punctuation of the outer sentence comes after the closing parenthesis), or it should be a sentence that can stand by itself. (In the latter case, the punctuation goes inside the parentheses because the whole sentence can be removed.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:12, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
::::::::::::[[http://hrwiki.org/wiki/HRWiki:Changing_username/Archive#Another_Strong_Badian|Here's]] a funny example of this issue. The user asked if he could be renamed "President Cold One", but because he put the question mark inside the quotation marks, Tom thought he meant "President Cold One?".
::::::::::::Heimstern: If you refuse to follow putting puncuation marks inside quotes, why did you do so in [http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Crime_and_Punishment&diff=701873&oldid=701867 this edit]?

== Admin ==

It's been just over five years since we last had an [[HRWiki:April 2005 Sysop Nominations|admin nom]]. Can we have another one soon? {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 13:27, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
:We're right for now. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:38, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

== There is no spoon ==

How many views did the main page get after The Brothers Chaps asked people to donate to the HRWiki? --[[Special:Contributions/71.77.206.64|71.77.206.64]] 22:41, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
:Hard to say. I started keeping track of it for a while, but then I realized that the numbers are skewed by Web crawlers, and I don't know to what degree. The numbers at the bottoms of pages are so unreliable that some sites, like Wikipedia, don't even display them. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:28, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

== ToonInfo template ==

DorianGray suggested sorting the Filmographies by date rather than alphabetically. I took this idea and ran with it, creating a [[Template:ToonInfo|ToonInfo]] template... but hit a small stumbling block when I discovered that sorting Filmographies by date would have the side effect of every toon being listed under "2" where it's currently listed by letter. It's still possible (and not terribly hard) to sort by date, it would just unfortunately look odd on the Category pages. Nevertheless, the template works otherwise (the sort-by-date feature is not currently included.) It would help keep our format consistent and let us change the format more easily, but admittedly has the problem of having to physically add it to each and every toon on the site. Thoughts? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 10:55, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
:Yeah, I fear it would be too complicated to get one of the robits to automate the process... But hey, if we don't get any updates soon, at least we'll have something to occupy us for a while. =3 --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 11:08, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
::No. I think everything's fine the way it is. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 11:54, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
:::Eh, if we can make it work, I'd far prefer chronological filmographies to alphabetical ones. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 12:11, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
::::Please no. Only if it can be done ''without adding a log into the page history'' should it be done. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 12:15, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
::::How many characters can be placed into the template? --[[Special:Contributions/209.148.176.136|209.148.176.136]] 12:13, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
:::::First of all, I've always thought the filmographies would be better if they were in chronological order, and I think this template is cool and ambitious, but I think it's a little too complicated for the problem it's supposed to solve. Perhaps we could figure out a way to get the chronological functionality without having to edit every toon article. Or if we really do want to add something to all the articles, perhaps an extension would be better instead of a straight template in order to keep things as simple as possible. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:10, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
::::::I've seen other Wikis with templates on nearly every page that are far more complicated than that one, for what it's worth. Most notably Bulbapedia, who ''thrives'' on complicated templates. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:50, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
:::::::All right, but if we can find a simpler solution, shouldn't we? My original attempt at a [[User:It's dot com/stuffitem|STUFF template]] would have ''worked'', but it was way more complicated than it needed to be, which also meant it wasn't as flexible as it should be. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:05, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
::::::::Do you (or does anyone else) have such a simpler solution? (I know that if you don't, that doesn't necessarily mean that my solution wins; I understand logic better than that. This is why I haven't put it on any pages yet and asked here first.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:20, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
::::::::Oh, yes, and problems with that STUFF template include the fact that STUFF pages were for discussion, so the entries can be very long and get changed often, and the variables don't have names so it's not intuitive what goes where. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:24, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
:::::::::Okay... my point was that it was overly complicated, even though it could have been made to work. Its specific problems were fixed and aren't all that relevant here. As I hinted at above, a simpler solution would be to change the nature of the filmographies pages so that they're automatically in chronological order (maybe even sortable). Then we wouldn't have to edit any pages at all. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:16, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
::::::::::That would be an elegant solution, but how would the filmography pages know the dates the toons came out? (Unless they were made into PAGES and not categories, which would admittedly solve the problem but would still require every page to be modified.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:21, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
:::::::::::We would use [[All Toons]] or something similar to create a custom sort list. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:00, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
::::::::::::Well, in that case, it's beyond my understanding of Wikicode and probably beyond my access rights, so I defer to you. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:50, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
So is this functionality something we really want? I'm just making sure, because whichever avenue we'd end up using—template, extension, whatever—it will take significant effort to implement. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:50, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

== Personal image limit going unpoliced in forgotten users? ==

It started with just me being paranoid, but it turns out there are several users with more than two large images. If a user quits the wiki without responding to a talk page comment, or a user is never alerted (I found that several users were never told after checking their talk pages), what do we do about it? For one thing, it violates our regulations to have that many personals, but on the other hand we can't edit other people's user pages. Seeing how this situation is going on, how would we resolve it? Are we lax in cases like this and shrug it off, or is it just that nobody is as nit-picky about these things as I am and never checks? Yeah, I suppose this is a mild problem, but there are some big-name editors like this, some of which regularly contribute. Does it really matter? I can't make the call, so can I get professional opinion in here from someone who knows the rules better than me? --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] [[User talk:Jellote|wuz]] [[Special:Contributions/Jellote|here]] 00:15, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
:The limits are in place to prevent people from abusing the privilege of a user page. If they're not active anymore, then it's probably not worth the effort to worry about it. If someone is still here, though, then I think it's only fair that they be in compliance with our policy. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:48, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

== Sbemail in navigation? ==

I don't think that Strong Bad Email should be in the navigation section on the side. All the other links have something to do with the wiki itself, but SB email is just a feature on homestarrunner.com. It should be removed. {{User:Wasd98/sig}} 00:12, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
:Strong Bad Email is a large and important part of the site. Probably about 55% of the pages on this wiki are related to Strong Bad Email. In fact, the site wouldn't be as popular if Strong Bad Email didn't exist. I think that's plenty of proof for it to stay. [[User:doctorwho295|doctorwho295]] 27 June 2010
::Related how? About one-thirteenth of the wiki's articles are the SBEmail ones, as well as a couple of articles that have SBEmails organised in lists like location, sender's name etc. That's waaaaay less than 55%, but still quite a lot. As for the site not being popular if SBEmail didn't exist, it's been over nine months since the last SBEmail, so... {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 03:23, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

== Reporting New Stuff On Website... On HRwiki... ==

Just wondering, since Homestarrunner.com posts "news updates" for when they have updates, would [http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20100621/2320049908.shtml this] affect HRWiki? TBC already owns the rights to the news updates, so... {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 17:23, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
:I'm not catching how that would directly affect us... — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:22, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

== iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad app? ==

Would anybody on the wiki be able to create an iOS app for the wiki? I'm sure it would be very possible. --[[Special:Contributions/68.78.135.218|68.78.135.218]] 20:40, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
:I'm just wondering, since I don't have an iProduct, what's the difference between an iOS of HRWiki, and browsing the site online with the device? Could be a nice way to deliver updates (like [http://twitter.com/hrwiki Twitter])? {{User:Elcool/sig}} 04:36, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
::While the wiki was unusable on my old Nokia E71, it looks and works just fine on my iPhone 3GS. I don't know what an HRWiki app would look like, but I doubt it would add value. Also, there is no free way of developing an iPhone app if you don't want to jailbreak.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 07:00, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
:::Actually, I do have the SDK, so I can see what I can do. --[[Special:Contributions/68.78.134.21|68.78.134.21]] 21:10, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

== Special Talk ==

Why don't special pages have talk pages? e.g. There's no [[Special Talk:Upload]]. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}}
:Talk pages are for discussing the improvement of the articles. Special pages are not articles to inform readers; Special pages serve a different purpose, and don't need to be editted or discssed about. {{User:StrongAwesome74/sig}} 17:58, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
::oh. got it. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}}
:::that isn't always true. one time i needed to ask a question on [[Special:Sbemailcheck]]'s talk page, but since it didn't exist, i had to come here to ask the question. it was ignored and archived without being answered. It's right here: [[HRWiki:Main Page Talk Archive 34#Strong Bad Email Check]] and I still feel like the question needs to be answered. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 19:13, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
::::Custom special pages that need discussion often have project or help pages associated with them. For example, [[Special:Ledger]]'s talk page is at [[HRWiki talk:Ledger]]. [[Special:Sbemailcheck]] links to an instruction page, [[Help:Sbemailcheck]], and a corresponding talk page, [[Help talk:Sbemailcheck]] (which is where your question should be). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:37, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
:::::And if you cannot find a spot to post your "talk" then you should add it to [[HRWiki talk:Projects|this page]], which is where "general" project discussion goes. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 18:11, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
::::::[[HRWiki talk:Projects]] is not the first place I'd go if I had the kind of problem Knights described above. (As a talk page for a project page where most discussion occurs on the project page itself, it doesn't even have much of a function at all.) [[HRWiki talk:FAQ]] is probably better suited for technical questions (if there's not a more specific page available). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:33, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

== Protection ==

[[Peasant's Quest]], [[Thy Dungeonman 3]], and their commands and walkthrough pages are prone to vandalism from anonymous IPs. Could they please be semi-protected? {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 03:35, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
:That looks like low key vandalism. Protecting those pages would be an overreaction and would do more harm than good.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 06:08, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

== Stores having a new sale. ==

It's on patches. I updated the store page, and the Store Front Page News. We just need to update the main page now.

== Where are they? ==
They have been gone for a vveeeeerrrryyy long time, any idea where they are? ([[Special:Contributions/94.7.81.213|94.7.81.213]] 19:15, 15 July 2010 (UTC))
:There's an inordinate amount of discussion on this topic at the [[Forum:|forum]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:52, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

== Steam Sale ==

Sorry, I'm not quite sure where also to mention this, but Steam is currently have a massive sale on the SBCGFAP games.

[http://store.steampowered.com/app/8340/]
:It's 10 USD for the disc at Best Buy by the way, and it's NOT a sale price. Steam just wants to beat best buy, seeing as their normal price on steam for the season is 30 USD. Who'd pay for a digital download when you could just ghost the disk as an imahge on your hard drive for free and payonly 10 USD. Yes, now would be the time to buy it on Steam, but I don't care for steam. Opinions aside, Forum is that way <--------- {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 21:57, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
::Sale is over now. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 19:59, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

I am unable to edit [[HRW:Featured Article Selection|FAS]], but I can edit other articles just fine. What is going on? {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 00:57, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

== New... Game soon? ==

[[Telltale Games]] has just released a new teaser trailer for an upcoming game to be announced on 02 Sept:

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusive-debut-untitled-telltale/703720?type=flv

A silhouette of [[Strong Bad]] can be clearly seen. Stay tuned for info... {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 06:04, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

:Huh. That explains a lot. I guess we only have to wait four days for more info, if not the full game. At the end it said 9-2-2010, so... Thursday. We should finally see what's been going on Thurday. For now, the question remains: who are the other three he was posing with? One was definitely Max the rabbit, and another might have been Sam, from the same game. That leaves... The Heavy Weapons Guy from Team Fortress? Who knows? Anyway, let's check back next Thursday and see what all the commotion is up to.--[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] [[User talk:Jellote|wuz]] [[Special:Contributions/Jellote|here]] 00:06, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
::According to Kotaku, from left to right it's one of the guys from [http://www.penny-arcade.com/ Penny Arcade], Max from Sam & Max, Heavy from Team Fortress 2, and, of course, [[Strong Bad]]. Based on the silhouette, there's been rumors that it's just a sequel to Telltale's poker game. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 00:11, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
::'''Edit Conflict!''' Not to turn this into a forumy-style post, but the [http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18930 TellTale forum] people have mainly decided that the four are Thycho from Penny Arcade, Max from Sam&Max, Heavy from Team Fortress Two,  and Strong Bad from, well, duh. Since two of them are holding cards, it's speculated that it's a TellTale Texas Hold'em sequel. {{User:StrongAwesome74/sig}} 00:15, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

== Telltale Crossover Game ==

http://www.trueachievements.com/n1807/telltale-teases-crossover-game.htm

I'm pretty sure this should be on the "What's New" list on the main page. It might even merit a whole article.
[[User:Philip8o|Philip8o]] 17:48, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Oops. I didn't realize this was already in the discussions. Sorry. [[User:Philip8o|Philip8o]] 17:50, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

== A proposal page ==
I have a proposal, we should have a proposal page like the one on [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)|Wikipedia]]
(Has some that can apply to HRWiki too). There can be proposals as well as other thing about the HRWiki or Homestarrunner.com in general. [[User:Perducci|Perducci]] 01:28, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

== Different Languages ==
I think we should have different languages on the HRWiki now, like Wikipedia. I know Homestarrunner.com is in English, “so people who watch probably know English”. But there are people who use the multilingual subtitles, who know English but not well or knows someone who speaks English, ECT. [[User:Perducci|Perducci]] 01:28, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
:The problem with that is that we would have to have a native speaker of the language go over EVERY page and translate it. That would be an absolutely massive project. --{{User:DENNIS/sig}} 01:32, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
:: True, but what better time than now? It being a hiatus and all. And we could use online translator* to start a page and the many fluent users (I have seen a few) could just tweak and edit.

::*(I know, not the best, but it's a start and makes it easier for those fluent in that language. That’s how wikis work, people start, others add. And I recall translating a couple wiki pages, and it was a pretty good translation. And I think it works well because of the correct spelling, grammar and structure of sentences and so on, on the wikis.) [[User:Perducci|Perducci]] 01:47, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
:::Online translators are not "pretty good". They're enough to get the gist when you put in correct English, but when you factor in unusual names of characters and complex concepts and non-words that would be difficult for anyone to translate, it would just be awful. Give it a try with a few pages from [[:Category:Word running gags]]. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 16:09, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
::::<blockquote>Instead of to use " simply; might" or " could" , the characters of the universe of the runner of Homestar, particularly running same of Homestar, tend to say sometimes could could instead of another one. Such uses of " non-standard" modals double is common in the vernacular one of the southern United States, including Georgia, where the cracks live on the brothers.</blockquote>

== Kirby Obsession? ==
While I realize that Kirby is a great series, I believe these two Real-World References are stretching it a bit too far:
# Pan Pan sucking up Stinkoman and 1-Up is likely a reference to the Kirby series of video games, where Kirby was able to suck his enemies into his mouth and copy their powers.
# Stinkoman and the Challenge of the Crystal Shards may also be an reference to the Nintendo 64 game: Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
I believe they should be deleted, because they both seem very TTATOT. Crystal Shards appear in lots of different games and cartoons, like Sonic the Hedgehog, for instance. And the "Pan Pan sucking them up" thing is likely just a reference to how much he loves to eat. If they had played a sound effect like you hear in the Kirby games, I could agree with this one. Comments before I delete these? --{{User:NevaDie/sig}} 14:13, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Pan Pan has never shown this ability before, and he even seems to do a similar pose to Kirby. I don't know about the second one, but I think the first one is a reference. [[User:Shadoman|Shadoman]] 15:11, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

I say we delete the second one.[[Special:Contributions/24.207.22.233|24.207.22.233]] 15:43, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

:I say we delete both of them! I'd say it's more of an inside reference of characters eating each other, like when Sickly Sam ate Strong Bad. The similar pose doesn't convince me, either. It's just too much of a stretch to constitute a reference. Howsabout a compromise? We could say: "Pan Pan's pose while inhaling Stinkoman and 1-up is similar to Kirby's" Or something like that. --{{User:NevaDie/sig}} 21:50, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

== Stinko's new hairdo ==

Right after producing a pilgrim hat from nowhere, Stinkoman has his normal hair. But, after cutting to 1-up and then back, he has his Top Exec hair. I'm unsure if this should be a goof or a remark. -[[User:20eric06|20eric06]] 18:58, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

== Duplicate Stinkos? ==

<blockquote>
*Stinkoman appears [[Duplicate Characters|twice]] in this toon when his leg is buried.
</blockquote>
Does he appear twice, or did he just remove one of his legs and stick it in the ground (as his way of "giving thanks" somehow..)? If both of his legs appeared attached to him while a separate one was in the ground, then I wouldn't dispute this... but he conveniently pops in partially off-screen. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 21:25, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

This is something that merits serious debate.

== This is just silly ==

"The title "Stinkoman and the challenge of the Crystal Shards" could also be a play off the recent movie Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in which Harrison Ford played a history professor trying to obtain the crystal skulls before the Nazis could."

Aside from that being a completely silly contribution, Indiana Jones fought Cold War Russians in that movie, not Nazis.

:I agree. This is not even a reference if the Soviets part is fixed. There is nothing else to suggest a link between Stinkoman and Indiana Jones besides their names being similar...BALEETED! --{{User:NevaDie/sig}} 21:45, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
:: Yeah, there are a lot of really really general "references" being added today. 'Sup with that? Del taco it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:46, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

==Latest quote: 80s rock influence?==

The style of the music and Marzipan's accent and slang remind me of 80s rock bands that featured a female vocalist, such as Siouxsie and the Banshees.
:It doesn't even sound like Marzipan's voice to me. Could it be something that someone else made, and sent to TBC, like the real marching band version of the CGNU fight song? But yeah, it's definately very Female-80s-band-esque. -- [[User:Chupaqueso|Chupaqueso]] 03:18, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Regarding the "Quote of the Week exclusive" source, it seems to me to more likely be either a [[Cheat Commandos...O's]] outtake ("Fantastic!", "Well that's...just...great!"), or possibly a [[Shopping for Danger]] outtake ("Fan-freaking-tastic!").

::I kind of think it's speculation to call it an outtake at this point. The quote it most closely resembles is "Well, that's... just... great!", but I think the similarity isn't great enough for us to assume it's an outtake of this line. I think we should consider it a QOTW exclusive. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:14, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
:::Since you listed two sources when Commander angrily shout positive things, I think it's just his personality and can't be attributed to any one cartoon.

==Milkshake?==
I noticed this QotW is attributed to a rather unique item, the old milkshake from under the seat, on Homestarrunner.com. But over here, it's just attributed to singers. Shouldn't this be recorded on the QotW page? [[User:Geshmalderborgen|Geshmalder]] 15:52, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
:The song doesn't actually exist (Strong Bad just made it up) so neither do the singers. As such, the hypothetical non-existent singers are represented visually as an object associated with that scene. This is only because the format of QotW on the actual site requires the image of something the quote is coming from. The wiki, however, does not, and is free to state the true sayers of the quote, annonymous "singers", without having to resort to images. The ability to present the fact that all we know about the sayers of this quote is that they're singers, is why it shouldn't be recorded on the QotW page. Does that answer your question? {{User:VolatileChemical/sig}} 06:40, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

==Marzipan's voice==

In the latest one, Marzipan sounds differently. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 01:42, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

==Reggae Song==

I know they have Marzipan's picture for the "Bread and butter pickle" reggae song Quote of the Week, but that's a pretty obvious Police-era Sting imitation. Anyone agree? {{unsigned|71.167.106.88|22:06, 3 November 2006}}

==Character Heads On Main Article?==
::I think this necessitates a different discussion. Is the format of this page as good as it can be? Early on, there has been no question that the character name and comma indicated both that this was the character speaking/singing, and that it was the character head used. But with the Chumbly Wumbly Bear song, and now even more so this, we see that there is confusion. Perhaps the character head id should be in its own "character head" column. This would make it clear that ''that'' is what we are noting, and who we hear speaking the quote is not necessarily the same (and is a secondary priority on this page). In cases like the above, we can note elsewhere whether the character head accurately depicts the speaker/singer. Thoughts? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:30, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
::::I like Qermaq's plan. Had they started with the heads from the beginning, there would have been no question. Since we'd already came up with the format before the heads though, it kinda got ignored. I think a little 20 or 30 px image on each line might be a nice touch. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 07:06, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
::::'''EDIT:''' If we're going to integrate the head, I'd like to see a decision here before somebody goes through them all only to have somebody come up with a better format. I'm thinking split the table into pre and post character heads quote tables, and something like this:

== Take out the outtake ==

On the one hand, the "Good graphics" (11/16/06) quote says it's an outtake in Windows Media Player. On the other hand... is it really any different than the actual line in [[Peasant's Quest Preview]]? At all? I can't right now, but I'd like to listen to both simultaneously to check. If not, I think we should put a note (or Fun Fact) stating that they call it an outtake but it's not. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:54, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

:::Good question. It just doesn't make sense to say that, though. This is, by the book, not an outtake because it is ''in'' the toon. It's not best to blindly follow what TBC say if it's clearly incorrect or misleading. More likely than not, it says outtake in Windows Media Player because they simply didn't give a care what the incorrect or out-of-date title was when they put it up or it had not occurred to them. We've [[Talk:H*R.com updates 2006#Dating discrepancy|consented]] that we should give the actual date of release on the updates page even if the main page says otherwise, and I don't see why we should be any less accurate in our description of this QOTW based on what TBC may have inadvertantly said. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 07:38, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

== You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch ==

It's dot com:

Should we be splitting hairs between stonk and stunk?
# it was an outake so they could have easily have screwed up the line
# if this is where the line originated, they probably didn't pull up a script but did it from memory
# it is a little over 2 weeks before christmas so that the likelyhood that they are either working on a christmas/decemberween toon, or watching christmas movies are high.

I think that they probably saw the Grinch that stole christmas recently and thought of the line. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 17:07, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
:Like I said in the edit summary, I was reminded of this as well. "Stink, stank, stunk" (the real lyrics) are the tenses of the verb, but "stonk" seems more to me like a deliberate (and not necessarily related) joke by TBC.

::There is something to be said that this many people so far have been reminded of some version of the Grinch . . .

== Crabadonk ==

Voice actors often do multiple takes of a line and the best one is selected later. This is clearly what Matt had done with Bubs' line "Crabadonk". Are all three outtakes for certain? Would this be better described as multiple takes? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:02, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
:This is like June 29, 2004's "I just hate you so much". Bubs says crabadonk twice in the e-mail. Let's not call this an outtake. Multiple takes is better. Or, we can just leave its source as plain ol' "[[the chair]]". —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 01:42, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

:::I say we stay with "outtake" — it seems to have [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/outtake both meanings], a take that's not used because it ends with a mistake, or any take that's not used (e.g., multiple takes are recorded and only the best is uesd).

== Define "outtake" ==

Well, we have more edit-warring here regarding outtake status than anything else, so let's explore the issue.

What is an outtake? It's a take that was not used in a toon, basically. It may have been a particular reading of a line (or a single word) that was rejected for a different approach. It might be a totally different line that was recorded but unused. It might be an error, or "blooper". But in each case, the outtake does not occur in the finished toon.

In the "clabadonk" case, a strong argument exists for referring to the three repeated words as "multiple takes". There's evidence that at least one of these takes were used in the finished toon. I suggested "multiple takes", but even if it's somehow agreed that these are outtakes, it should be plural, as these clearly are three successive takes.

In the most recent QOTW we have a different issue. This is a line from the toon, but some extra is apparently tacked on. I haven't taken the time to listen and compare, but if the lion's share of it is in fact the same as is used in the toon, how can we call it an outtake?

What I'd like is a bit more formal agreement on what should and should not be labeled as an outtake so these silly revert wars stop. (And, at risk of sounding like a scoolteacher, my rule of thumb is it's good to indicate in the edit summary why the edit was made, but if you or someone you agree with is reverted (or if what you reverted is added back), it's time to take it to the Talk page, lest these wars continue.) {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:47, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
:After another listening under the tutelage of Pom Pom's keen ears, I don't think the current QotW (18 Jan 2007) is an outtake, but there are a couple of lines in the middle of it that aren't in the toon. Namely, the underlined part here is missing: "I can't remember cereal, I can't remember TV. Is it football season yet? I don't even watch football. I hate football but I'll play football. Run you over in football. Run you down the field like a clown!" The rest of it sounds exactly like what's in the toon (although it's admittedly hard to hear under the voiceover). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:38, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
::Holy crap! A revert war because of my original edit. To me, it's not an outtake. Most of the quote is in the toon. It's all good, though. You can do anything you want to it. I don't care. {{User:Theyellowdart/sig}}

== Gunhaver ==
The file for the latest quote of the week is called '''crack_up2here.mp3''' signifying that it's Crack Stuntman, the voice of Gunhaver as mentioned in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 14.2]] - Will you stop changing my edits and leave it as Crack Stuntman?!?!??!

:AND Gunhaver, as a Cheat Commando, is not very tall... Maybe for a Cheat he's tall, but the cheats are kinda small.

Can we please get a consensus on whether this week's quote is Crack Stuntman as himself, or as Gunhaver? {{User:Kahteh/sig}} 22:50, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

:I think it makes perfect sense that it's Crack Stuntman: notice that he says "If you could see me..." Where would Gunhaver have said that in any of his appearances? It makes much more sense for it to have been the answering machine message. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:53, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Incidentally, it should not read "Crack Stuntman ''as'' Gunhaver", because Stuntman wasn't playing Gunhaver at the time. Our format in cases like that is to put the character head first followed by what it really is: "Gunhaver (Crack Stuntman)" — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:19, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

:I don't think Gunhaver's name should be in there at all because he's not acting as Gunhaver and Gunhaver didn't have anything to do with this quote. It's Crack. and it's mentioned in Marzipan's Answering machine that he is the "Handsome actor that's handsomely paid." to play Gunhaver... just because Gunhaver's picture is on the website doesn't attribute this quote to him. If anything it should read Crack Stuntman (Gunhaver) [[User:MisteR t|mister t]] 23:25, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

::Perhaps, but in that case all of the similar quotes would need to be reformatted. "Character shown (Actual speaker)" is simply the format we've used up to now.

== sb_fieldday.mp3 - a hidden/unfinished toon? ==

The page states that the qoute of the week from 24 May 2007 is a Quote exclusive. Since the link for the file is ''sb_fieldday'' I went to [[HR:fieldday.html|fieldday.html]] to check it out. The quote is actually from a short toon featuring Strong Bad, titled "''Field Day intro''". I can't seem to find a page for it here on the wiki, so I wanted to point out to that in case nobody had noticed. It doesn't have the bottom navigation links, neither does it continue to what it's an intro for so I'm guessing it's something unfinished. Please tell me if I just stated the obvious or made an amazing discovery. :D - '''Einir''' [[User:Einir|user]][[User_talk:Einir|talk]] 16:29, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

::::As I said in the [[Talk:Main Page#Too long, Clanky!|other place you posted this]], the "This page is too long" warning is just a benchmark, a notice that you should possibly consider splitting the page. After all, if an ''article'' reached this length, then it would definitely either go into too much detail, or have several logical sections it could be broken up into (like the Peasant's Quest walkthrough, references, etc). But a list such as this one is fine as is... and being able to sort all of the quotes at once by, say, character head would be impossible if they were split by year. Personally, I think we should maybe copy over the Wikipedia version of this message ("This page is ''xx''kb. It may be appropriate to split this article into smaller, more specific articles." without the word "WARNING") because that just seems more better. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 07:36, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

== Mirrors behind mirrors. ==

I've found a mirror for "The Wicked Guitar Solo" from [[personal favorites]]. Or actually, I just dug up the old one. It still works, if you know how to get there. It's on [http://www.freewebs.com/hsrquotes2/previousquotes.htm this page], listed as "The E-mail Rokk". The funny thing is that a [http://www.freewebs.com/hsrquotes2/email_rokk.mp3 direct link to the file] doesn't seem to work sometimes, and will just bounce you back here, or whatever page you came from. Freewebs' server most likely checks the [[Wikipedia:referrer|referrer (oops, referer)]] and just spits it right back at you if it matches some filter of theirs (Or doesn't match, however they've got it set up). So, if someone with the know-how and power-how (or something like that) to upload it to the HRWiki mirror would do so, we'd be down to just one QotW without a mirror link!

::True, comparing the email itself and the file, the sound is quite different. But I'd say that in itself is not inconsistent with the older quotes mirrored on the wiki. And the files on that webpage seem to be identical with the ones mirrored here, though it's quite possible that one copied them from the other, which would be difficult to confirm at this point. I think that file is at least equally authentic as the other old QotW files we have mirrored here. Maybe it is the original, official file. Maybe it isn't, and one day someone will dig up the original file. Or maybe TBC will repost it. I suppose the hope is that someone who does have the original will notice it's missing on this page, and submit it. In any case, I consider that file to be better than none at all, and I'm glad that I found it.

...all right, I've removed that silly "Ja" fact like, three times, and it keeps getting added back. What *is* the big deal here? Considering it's not actually a real word, and that Schenkel McDoo's grasp of the English language is tenuous at best, this fact seems pointless and demeaning. Should we put a fun fact in [[buried]] about how when he says "Yold Ones Vry" at the end, he actually means "Cold Ones Dry"? Some of these so-called "facts" are so ridiculously nitpicky it's not funny. -{{User:YK/sig}} 23:53, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
:Are you aware of the linguistic relation between /y/ and /j/? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:55, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
::Ja, but that's really not the issue. "Yah" is perfectly acceptable; I've seen it spelled this way before. It isn't a glaring error that especially needs to be pointed out, because it's really not much more "incorrect", IMO, than Catsup/Ketchup. But let's be serious here. When you consider McDoo uses "Yah" in another line along with "Yold Ones Vry", which isn't proper grammar no matter *how* you look at it, it seems, as I said, excessively nitpicky. That, and I think TBC is allowed to make their characters talk as they want. But eh. -{{User:YK/sig}} 00:00, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
:::Apart from YK's rant, he has a point. It borders on speculation to assume that he was actually saying "ja". Admittedly, a word meaning "yes" fits there, and he does have a foreign name and accent ("Ja" actually means "yes" in at least 7 languages [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ja#Andere_Sprachen], most notably German - which would also match his accent).

Has anybody noticed that the M4V videos have a much higher sound quality than the Flash files? Might seem a bit unfair for the "normal Flashers" at first, but if someone was to import the Flash file (which, if possible, would give us a load of vectors and so a nearly unlimited possibility of resizing) and mix its video track with the audio track of the M4V video, they could actually get megalomanic resolutions and a sound quality that beats the Flash file on the site.

Most Flash decompiling programs manage to bugger up tweens etc as well as fonts. Then, on top of this, you usually need to fiddle with the .fla file you get at the end to get it to match up with the original .swf as mask layers etc often separate. Basically, it'd be some hassle.

:It doesn't look exactly like Strong Sad's iPod from the picture, but it is blurry, so details might not have been put in.

::Whoops. Didn't sign that last message--fixed. Anyway, here's the thing. The blur would make it hard to decide, except for the scroll-wheel. Notice it's gray.

Below external links it says that either iTunes or Quicktime is required to play these, but I must disagree.

==Descriptions==

I'm not sure if this can go anywhere on the page, but I figured I'd list the descriptions within iTunes for the episodes.

techno -- Some bozo asks about techno music. 
japanese cartoon -- Strong Bad makes up his own japanese cartoon. 
dragon -- Strong Bad starts a bad drawing revolution. 
kids book -- Strong Bad seriously defaces a children's book. 
crying -- Strong Bad seriously defaces a children's book. (whoops on their part, apparently) 
bottom 10 -- From the home office in Scotsdale, AZ... 
caffeine -- Strong Sad gets caffeinated. 
virus -- A virus wreaks havoc on the Compy. 

I wasn't exactly sure where to put this, but I figured it should at least be listed somewhere around here, so here it is. [[User:Spell4yr|Spell4yr]] 07:58, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
:lol, reading the edit history for the main page, I suppose I should have left my editorialized comments out of it, or put it separate or in italics or something. Sorry! (I didn't realize they fixed it, though; I guess I'll have to redownload it.) [[User:Spell4yr|Spell4yr]] 19:10, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

:::::It works all the time for me (Flash 7/Fx 1.5/Linux) but looking at the source code it seems it hasn't been "fixed" by TBC at all - it's still relative linking, and there's nothing telling it to go to www.etc instead of podstar.etc. However the main_nav.swf is being loaded from www.etc. So I'm guessing some browsers/versions of Flash/whatever is taking the relative link relative to the page (which won't work) and others take it relative to the .swf (which will work). {{User:Phlip/sig}} 04:49, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

== File Sizes ==

The file sizes quoted on the podstar page are sort of innaccurate... In computing, the prefix "kilo", for example, can mean two things - the standard 103= 1000 or the more computer-friendly 210 = 1024 (computers, working in binary, are good for working with powers of 2). Megabytes can, by extension, be 1,000,000 (1000²) bytes or 1,048,576 (1024²) bytes. Usually the binary megabytes are used for things like RAM capacity, since that will always be a power of 2, and file sizes. Decimal megabytes are often used for hard disk capacities (to make them sound bigger, since the number on the box is bigger). (Because of the confusion, SI proposed the prefix [[Wikipedia:Mebi|Mebi]], but it never really caught on.) However the filesizes quoted on the podstar page are such that 1MB = 1,024,000 bytes (1000×1024), which isn't correct either way. Most likely the computer gave the size in kB by dividing by 1024, and TBC then divided by 1000 to get MB. The only thing I know of which uses 1,024,000 megabytes is the 1.44MB floppy disk, which is 1.44×1024×1000 bytes. 
The questions are: (1) Can the above be summarised into something suitable for a fun fact? Not so long as to ramble, as the above does, but not so short as to leave out any important information. (2) In the table at the bottom of the article, should we quote (a) the filesize from the podstar page, (b) The actual size in decimal megabytes, (c) The actual size in binary megabytes or (d) separate columns for both (a) and one of (b) or (c). At the moment it is (c), which gets my vote. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:26, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
:There is already the goof:

:Many of the listed file sizes are inaccurate. The table below shows the correct file sizes.

:and the listing below. What do you want beyond that? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:28, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
::Oh, I didn't see that. Still, some explination of ''why'' they're inaccurate could be good, since that goof reads like "man, TBC are so dumb they couldn't even get the filesizes right" as opposed to "filesizes are more complicated than they look, and TBC got it wrong". {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:33, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

The description for [[different town]] in the XML feed is "How would Strong Bad make the town different?". For as long as I can remember (much earlier than March 13, 2006, anyways), the summary on the Wiki has been "How would Strong Bad make the town different?".

== This specific piece of trivia: Are you sure? ==

''When the email ends and returns to the animated iPod menu, "Homestarrunner.com" is highlighted. However, the animated menu at the beginning of the email has "Email" selected. The iPod's memory should keep the selection where it was when you left it, not move back to the top.''

I only have a 4G iPod, so it may not apply to this, but every time it finishes up a playlist or album, it goes back to the main menu and the top word (Music) is highlighted.
But you guys can go ahead and prove me wrong by doing it on your fancy-pants video iPods. I don't mind, really. --[[User:Mashi|Mashi]] 18:33, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

==Missing videos==

Now that I actually have an iPod, I'm kind of miffed that bottom 10, crying and caffeine were removed from the podcast itself on iTunes.

I'll take this, since no one seems to know the answer. Yes, you can still view a video-podcast on a 4G iPod (that supports podcasts) by viewing the podcast from the Music menu instead of the Video → Video Podcasts menu. It plays the video-podcast as a regular podcast; with only audio. I'm about 90% sure of this, since it can be done this way on a 5G iPod. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 06:34, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

When decoded, the description of technology is "Ç,:«�" (Not including quotations) Should that be added to trivia or something? {{User:Steve/sig}} 23:23, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
:Well, the binary string is 37 bits (in a row), so it's not going to decode correctly in 7-bit or 8-bit ASCII, or any of the Unicode formats, 'cause it's not a whole number of characters. It might be worth noting that the number in binary is 106930066790 in decimal, like on [[technology#Trivia|technology]], but I think it's just too trivial. If you're curious, you can check out [[Talk:technology#Has anyone tried...|the conversation that came up over this last time]], but there's not much there. Just remember, it's important to note the difference between [[Wikipedia:Binary number|binary]], which is just a way of representing numbers, and [[Wikipedia:ASCII|ASCII]], which is one of many ways of making those numbers represent letters and symbols. It's reasonable to assume that the string of 1s and 0s is binary, but it's not ASCII. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 09:16, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

==Glitches==
Ok, I noticed a few glitches when watching some toons. for one, when watching [[theme park]], the video freezes when before the cut to Pom Pom and Bubs, but the audio keeps going. You can keep going by fast forwarding a few seconds, but it still always freezes at the same place. Also, with TGS's 6-12, they all start off somewhere in the middle of the cartoon (the same place every time), but pressing the left button brings the toon back to the beginning. However, pressing the center button and scrolling to a certain time will always snap you back to a specific point in the toon. For example, fast forwarding anywhere in TGS7 always snaps to the "dipped it in salt" line. Also, holding the right button just blacks out the toon and brings you back to the menu. I know that it's not just my iPod that does these things, seeing as my friend's does the exact same things, but does anyone else have these problems, too? {{User:Dr._Clash/sig}}

==These peoples try to fade me==
The reason I'm guessing that this was released was because the version on the CD (which I have) was not compatible with a 5G iPod (which I also have). I put the CD version on iTunes before, but it just said the video "...cannot be played on this iPod". The m4v version worked. {{User:Mee/sig}}

:One problem I fear will come from making mirrors (No, I do not have the rights or the podcasts): If the service was shut down because too many people posted their podcasts online (I hope you get the irony) then putting them up for download on our website wouldn't do TBC any good.

== Split? ==
Thinking aloud... would it be a good idea to split this page into [[Podstar Runner]] and [[Podstar Runner 2006]] (or some equally imaginative title)? The page is a bit crowded and confusing at the moment, with transcripts, and blocks of text, and fun facts, all with little qualifiers about whether they're talking about the new podcast or the old one (and even now, some facts talk about the old podcast in the present tense)... it would be a lot simpler to treat them as separate services, and have them on separate pages... maybe with one of those "preceeded by/succeeded by" bars like on the [[Intro]]s. After all, they're rather different... the only real thing they have in common is that they're both podcasts... 99% of the stuff we have in Fun Facts is different between the two. Thoughts? {{User:Phlip/sig}} 11:49, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
: I agree with Phlip. Two separate pages would make sense given the sustantial amount of information and lists presently combined on this one article. We've done the same to [[New Paper]] and [[The Paper]]. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 20:45, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
::That might be a good idea. Unlike say [[Punkin Stencils]], where one page can neatly contain all the info, Podstar Runner has a lot of associated information (Fun Facts, transcripts, etc.) that are different depending on the version. By splitting, that might also eliminate some of the problems with the intro, which seems bit too wordy (I know, a rare problem for this wiki, but still...)

Just put the swf files on your memory stick and navigate to them in the PSP's browser with address "file:/path-to-the-files-on-your-ms/homsar.swf" You can use FireFox to make an index page once you've copied them over - just do a quick search and replace routine to make the URLs relative.

It's an average cartoon pupil, an average animal eyestyle and there's absolutely nothing special about it.

== Phone numbers (Since when does 8 mean hang up?) ==

Homestar's phone uses [[Wikipedia:Dual-tone multi-frequency|dual-tone multi-frequency dialing]]. In particular, take note of the section on the [[Wikipedia:Dual-tone multi-frequency#Keypad|keypad]]. That's the conversion table between a pair of frequencies and the corresponding number. To find out what frequencies Homestar is dialing, I recorded the beginning of the cartoon in Audacity (but I'm sure any similar program will do). I then selected the sound only when Homestar was dialing a number. In Audacity, to view the spectrum, select View/Plot spectrum. Some of the numbers are short, so the sampling rate must be dropped from the default of 512. Audacity has a handy feature where it automatically tells you where the peaks are when you mouse over them. The spectrum is usually a bit noisy, but there are always two prominent peaks which can be looked up on the table in the Wikipedia link provided. I obtained the following results:
Pom Pom's number:
*769 Hz + 1330 Hz
*701 + 1476
*702 + 1476
Hanging up on Pom Pom:
*849 + 1327
Calling Strong Bad:
*850 + 1328
*765 + 1463
*766 + 1327
*689 + 1462
*688 + 1462
Hanging up on Strong Bad/Dialing Bubs:
*849 + 1325
Hanging up on Bubs/Dialing Coach Z:
*850 + 1325
Hanging up on Coach Z:
*850 + 1328
Dialing the King of Town:
*764 + 1328
*687 + 1462
Hanging up on the King of Town:
*850 + 1327

These correspond to numbers 5-3-3, 8, 8-6-5-3-3, 8, 8, 8, 5-3-8 (as I report in the Fun Facts section)-- feel free to compare them yourself. The only significant quirk I found is that Homestar's phone emits a brief dual-tone of approximately 1200 Hz and 3600 Hz before each number. I don't know what this means, but it could either be unique to his phone or a signal to reset the tone detection (or something like that). I don't know if anyone wants to discuss anything except possibly where the fun-fact should go, but I thought this should serve as a record of my work.--[[User:Bobo the King|Bobo the King]] 10:16, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the first canonical appearance of Nebulon (in person) in the real Homestar Runner universe (if one assumes that the main pages aren't canon)?

== Pepper ==

Although the reference to the bugs bunny cartoon is correct, you can move up one level of reference by pointing out that Pepper is a baseball warm-up exercise. [[wikipedia:Pepper (baseball)|See wikipedia]]

==Transcript==
''{Camera tilts down to reveal Homestar Runner calling on his cordless phone, sitting on his couch.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Pom Dog. It's Homedog. Yeah, dog. Wanna hang out? Oh? Oh. Firmware upgrade. No, that sounds important. No, it's cool. I'll catch you later. Boop! Oh. ''{Homestar actually hangs up the phone. Reverse shot, with a list marked "Phone People". Pom Pom (Pom Dog) is crossed out. Homestar dials the phone.}'' Strong Bad? Heck, no, cool. ''{Homestar hangs up. Strong Bad's name is crossed off.}'' Bubs! In federal prison? ''{white frame}'' Coach Z? In juvenile prison? ''{Coach Z's name is crossed off the list. Increasing Dutch angle shots as Strong Sad and The Cheat are crossed off. Cut to Homestar lying on his couch.}'' ''{Disappointed}'' Nah, it's cool. I forgot today was yours and Brunswick stew's anniversary. 'Kay. Bye. ''{King Of Town's name is crossed off. Homestar yawns off camera.}'' Well, I'll just have to call —

''{Cut to Strong Mad opening the door.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' CAN HOMESTAR COME OUT AND PLAY?

''{Title "Play Date" drops down over a black background.}''

''{Crossfade to Homestar leaning out his front door talking to Strong Mad.)''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, we don't really call it "playing" anymore, Strong Mad. ''{Close-up of Homestar}'' It's more like hanging out, messing around, kicking back.

''{Two shot of Homestar and Strong Mad}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' LET'S FOOL AROUND.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hm. Maybe not "fool around" either. ''{Close-up of Homestar}'' Why don't we get down to business? Let's play. Or, kick around. Whatever.

''{Two shot}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' LET'S PLAY BLOCKS.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Blocks, eh? Not opposed to the classics. Let's play some blocks.

''{Push wipe left to a tower of cinder blocks wavering slightly. Strong Mad grunts off camera and another cinder block flies to the top of the pile. Pull back to reveal Homestar pushed into the ground with the blocks on top of his chest.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{strained}'' You know, this is exactly what I thought you had in mind. ''{Close up on Homestar}'' Not sure why I agreed to it. How 'bout we play catch?

''{Push wipe left to Homestar crouching slightly, his cap on backwards, and a baseball glove floating in front of him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right! Fire it in here! Gimme the old pepper atta pepper whatta pepper who's a pepper— ''{Bubs' Concession Stand lands on Homestar}'' Oof!

''{Bubs pops up in the Stand}''

'''BUBS:''' It's a relocation sale! Fifty percent off all badly beaten Homestars!

''{Push wipe down to Homestar, with a bandage on his head, and Strong Mad sitting on the couch.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{shakily}'' Okay, Strong Mad. We're going to have a little something I like to call "migraine time". We can play all your new favorite game, ''{pull back to a wider shot}'' Feathers and Cotton. Ready? Go.

''{Homestar puts an ice pack on his face. Then a meteor falls through the ceiling, crushing Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Waugh!

'''STRONG MAD:''' THIS ONE'S NOT MY FAULT.

''{Nebulon pokes up from the meteor, looking around.}''

''{Push wipe up Homestar bandaged, legs in casts, and sitting in a wheelchair in The Field. Strong Mad is standing next to him, smiling apologetically.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wow. I had a real great time messing around, Strong Mad. But next time, maybe we should just play. ''{Strong Bad enters from the left}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, thanks for babysitting the little guy for me, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What?

'''STRONG MAD:''' AWWWW. TIME TO GO?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, sorry, man. ''{close-up of Strong Bad}'' Cinder blocks, structural damage. Meteors? It's definitely time for your nap.

''{Pull back to previous shot. Strong Mad and Strong Bad exit left, Strong Mad pouting a little.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whew. Bubs, hit me with a Cold One. ''{Camera shift right to reveal Bubs' Concession Stand, as Homestar's wheel chair leans back. Bubs slides an 'Old One down the counter.}''

''{Cut to black. A crash is heard followed by a gulp.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ahh. Thanks man.

''{End appears on the screen as music plays. A dot soon follows and the word back fades in the lower left corner.}''

==Latest quote: 80s rock influence?==

The style of the music and Marzipan's accent and slang remind me of 80s rock bands that featured a female vocalist, such as Siouxsie and the Banshees.
:It doesn't even sound like Marzipan's voice to me. Could it be something that someone else made, and sent to TBC, like the real marching band version of the CGNU fight song? But yeah, it's definately very Female-80s-band-esque. -- [[User:Chupaqueso|Chupaqueso]] 03:18, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
::No, if it was fan-made, I'm sure they'd tell us. Also, it'd be too conveniently timed. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::Yeah, your probably right. But maybe it was someone other than Missy doing the singing? Wait, I just thought of something. What if this QOTW is supposed to be what Cool Tapes would sound like if Marzipan rocked (from Different Town)? -- [[User:Chupaqueso|Chupaqueso]] 22:54, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
::::Have you people even listened to the clip? That is clearly Missy singing! If it isn't, may lightning strike me down right now! Only before "me", put in "people who disagree with". And how could it be fan-made? Can't you here Strong Mad and The Cheat's ''doley-o'''s ? That's Matt doing their voices, no doubt about it. {{User:VolatileChemical/sig}} 15:41, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
:::::Just listened to the clip; it doesn't sound much like Missy to me. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 23:50, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

==loading==

Does anyone else think that the loading window was only for that one song, and has been removed? It seemed that way with the last one. [[User:207.7.187.135|207.7.187.135]] 17:07, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

:I just noticed the same thing myself. It may have been a one time thing, it may perhaps be kept in reserve only for long quotes, or perhaps those with a greater knowledge of flash could tell me if it's somehow still there, but only triggered on extra large quotes. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 17:47, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

:I just decompiled it with my flash thing, and even though it's third party and messes everything up when you import, I can't find any hint of the loading screen. [[User:207.7.187.135|207.7.187.135]] 18:40, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

::Those last two comments were me in IP form. I can't find a loading box at all. TBC probably took it out. So I'll add that it was on the page. If anyone has a better flash decompiler and can find it, feel free to add it. {{User:The Joe/sig}} 16:20, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

::Sorry if my last comment sounded weird. What I meant to say was: I can't find the loading box. I'm going to write that it doesn't exist. If anyone finds it in the current qotw file, you can revert my edit. Thank you. {{User:The Joe/sig}} 16:24, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

== chumbly wumbly bear ==

shouldnt the quote be creidited to both What's-Her-Face and The Ugly One? in the transcript they're both singing it - [[User:Superplough|Superplough]] 04:54, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
:We only credit to whose [[Quote of the Week Character Heads|character head]] shows up in each quote ('cept the old ones from before there were such things). In this case, What's Her Face. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

ah ok, i didnt even know there WAS someones head that popped up, i only ever get the quotes from the wiki :P [[User:Superplough|Superplough]] 04:59, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

== Podcast ==

Hey Guys! youshould have a QotW podcast so it would be easier to load into iTunes! It would be just like tmbw.net's Free tunes podcast! [[User:Finest1]]

== Going backwards ==

I've noticed that the qod has gone from the newer back to the new.{{User:The Teach!/Twig}} 
http://www.vulomedia.com/images/53421Qod.png

==Awesome, just AWESOME!==

Regarding the "Quote of the Week exclusive" source, it seems to me to more likely be either a [[Cheat Commandos...O's]] outtake ("Fantastic!", "Well that's...just...great!"), or possibly a [[Shopping for Danger]] outtake ("Fan-freaking-tastic!"). But it's hard to say for certain. Any ideas? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:16, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
:I'm sure it's a teaser for the next Cheat Commandos toon! ;-) {{User:Loafing/sig}} 06:43, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
::I kind of think it's speculation to call it an outtake at this point. The quote it most closely resembles is "Well, that's... just... great!", but I think the similarity isn't great enough for us to assume it's an outtake of this line. I think we should consider it a QOTW exclusive. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:14, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
:::Since you listed two sources when Commander angrily shout positive things, I think it's just his personality and can't be attributed to any one cartoon. It's like trying to do the same thing if the quote was of Strong Bad "I hate this crappy guy" to where he said "crap". {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 09:38, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

==Milkshake?==
I noticed this QotW is attributed to a rather unique item, the old milkshake from under the seat, on Homestarrunner.com. But over here, it's just attributed to singers. Shouldn't this be recorded on the QotW page? [[User:Geshmalderborgen|Geshmalder]] 15:52, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
:The song doesn't actually exist (Strong Bad just made it up) so neither do the singers. As such, the hypothetical non-existent singers are represented visually as an object associated with that scene. This is only because the format of QotW on the actual site requires the image of something the quote is coming from. The wiki, however, does not, and is free to state the true sayers of the quote, annonymous "singers", without having to resort to images. The ability to present the fact that all we know about the sayers of this quote is that they're singers, is why it shouldn't be recorded on the QotW page. Does that answer your question? {{User:VolatileChemical/sig}} 06:40, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

== Not really an outtake ==

The new qotw is labelled an outtake, but it isn't really. Strong Bad cuts Strong Sad off, but you can hear him finishing quietly in the background. --Telamon
:Oh, hey, so it is... Like some Bubs quote about bananas before. And some other quotes. They seem to do this a lot. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Hey, if it helps you notice new stuff, then hooray! --Telamon
:::What is "Caaardinal Sins" anyway? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 18:45, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
::::That's a [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Cardinal+Sins very good question]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::::Appearantly, it's another name for the [[Wikipedia:Seven deadly sins|seven deadly sins]]. I couldn't find any board game with the same title, though. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 19:10, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
::::::Maybe it's a card game. (Card game? ''Card''inal sins? Get it? Oh, never mind...) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== "Mumble Quotes" ==

With the previous two new quotes, it kind of looks like TBC are making us wikipeoples' lives easier for the transcripts, by providing us with the words of mumbled-out lines.

Heh. --[[User:That crazy DumDe!|DumDe]] 20:44, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

==Marzipan's voice==

In the latest one, Marzipan sounds differently. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 01:42, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

==Reggae Song==

I know they have Marzipan's picture for the "Bread and butter pickle" reggae song Quote of the Week, but that's a pretty obvious Police-era Sting imitation. Anyone agree? {{unsigned|71.167.106.88|22:06, 3 November 2006}}
:I don't think so. Now that you mention it, it does sound a bit like Sting. But the style is different, and it'd be quite bold to assume that this is a Police imitation.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:21, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
::Sting? Sounds more like Bob Marley to me, but I haven't heard much Sting. {{User:VolatileChemical/sig}} 06:58, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

:::Sounds like the black woman on Sesame Street. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 01:59, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
::::Well, The Police were known for combining rock and reggae — especially in their early stuff — but this sounds just like The Wailers (the band in which Bob Marley received his initial fame just like Sting did with The Police). {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 01:20, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
I once imagined a version of Marzipan just saying it out. No song, just talking.

==Character Heads On Main Article?==
::I think this necessitates a different discussion. Is the format of this page as good as it can be? Early on, there has been no question that the character name and comma indicated both that this was the character speaking/singing, and that it was the character head used. But with the Chumbly Wumbly Bear song, and now even more so this, we see that there is confusion. Perhaps the character head id should be in its own "character head" column. This would make it clear that ''that'' is what we are noting, and who we hear speaking the quote is not necessarily the same (and is a secondary priority on this page). In cases like the above, we can note elsewhere whether the character head accurately depicts the speaker/singer. Thoughts? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:30, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
::::I like Qermaq's plan. Had they started with the heads from the beginning, there would have been no question. Since we'd already came up with the format before the heads though, it kinda got ignored. I think a little 20 or 30 px image on each line might be a nice touch. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 07:06, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
::::'''EDIT:''' If we're going to integrate the head, I'd like to see a decision here before somebody goes through them all only to have somebody come up with a better format. I'm thinking split the table into pre and post character heads quote tables, and something like this:

{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 style="border-collapse:collapse"
|- bgcolor=#eeeeee

|}

Questions, comments, better idea? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 04:25, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

:::::I think it's a generally good idea. Would you do it differently than this when the speaker is more unambiguously the character whose head appears? I was originally thinking more along the lines of this:

:::::I'd think an asterisk or something would be appropriate, with a notation below such as "Marzipan's head appeared on the 09 Nov 2006 Quote; however, the actual voice heard is an unidentified reggae singer" or something. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 10:28, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
::::::I think it's a great idea to have the character heads in their own column. We don't even need the asterisk disclaimer bit if the quote starts with the name of the person who actually said it (just like in you example).{{User:Loafing/sig}} 04:09, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

:::::::Yeah, having the character heads in their own column is a wonderful idea. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 05:46, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

:Just double-checking, we are going to put the character's name in boldface before the quote even if it matches the character head, right? You know, for all of the image-disabled people out there. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 07:48, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

== Take out the outtake ==

On the one hand, the "Good graphics" (11/16/06) quote says it's an outtake in Windows Media Player. On the other hand... is it really any different than the actual line in [[Peasant's Quest Preview]]? At all? I can't right now, but I'd like to listen to both simultaneously to check. If not, I think we should put a note (or Fun Fact) stating that they call it an outtake but it's not. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:54, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

:They are exactly the same. Click [http://s30.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid30.photobucket.com/albums/c345/Bkmlb/GoodGraphics.flv?t=1163810668&refUrl=photobucket.com&ap=1 here] to watch/listen to the video I made. They are both playing at the same time, although they may be off 1/4 of a second or something, but you can still tell they are the same.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 00:52, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
::Well done! Maybe it is both an outtake and an Easter egg. Mike's "What?" sounds genuine. My guess is that they decided it was a funny enough outtake for an Easter egg.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 01:12, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
:::"...can we trust that it's an "outtake" when it exactly matches the toon?"[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Quote_of_the_Week&diff=385810&oldid=385806]
:::Good question. It just doesn't make sense to say that, though. This is, by the book, not an outtake because it is ''in'' the toon. It's not best to blindly follow what TBC say if it's clearly incorrect or misleading. More likely than not, it says outtake in Windows Media Player because they simply didn't give a care what the incorrect or out-of-date title was when they put it up or it had not occurred to them. We've [[Talk:H*R.com updates 2006#Dating discrepancy|consented]] that we should give the actual date of release on the updates page even if the main page says otherwise, and I don't see why we should be any less accurate in our description of this QOTW based on what TBC may have inadvertantly said. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 07:38, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

==Mix-up==

There's a problem. This quote of the week from today is the same quote as last year! Are they stupid?[[User:TheValentineBros|TheValentineBros]]
: I don't think stupid people could create such a clever site, personally. Are you going to pretend that ''you'' have never made mistakes? It happens. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:52, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
::TheValentineBros: I'm a little put off that you would even use that word. I'm sure you wouldn't say it to their faces, and if that's true, then you shouldn't say it here, either. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:49, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
:Remember that QOTW's have been repeated in the past. I don't think they really care if it bothers anyone or not, frankly. They have whatever reason they have for allowing repeats. I'm cool with it. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:55, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
::Also remember that this is a weekly section that has no history on the site, so if someone only started visiting H*R in the past year, or didn't visit or download the quote last year, it would still be new to them. Just because we have a record of all the QotWs doesn't mean that everyone does, or that everyone has been watching since day one and downloading all the quotes. It would actually seem like repeating QotWs would be more the norm than it is - [[User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C|Ilko Skevüld's Teh C]] 02:23, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

== You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch ==

It's dot com:

Should we be splitting hairs between stonk and stunk?
# it was an outake so they could have easily have screwed up the line
# if this is where the line originated, they probably didn't pull up a script but did it from memory
# it is a little over 2 weeks before christmas so that the likelyhood that they are either working on a christmas/decemberween toon, or watching christmas movies are high.

I think that they probably saw the Grinch that stole christmas recently and thought of the line. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 17:07, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
:Like I said in the edit summary, I was reminded of this as well. "Stink, stank, stunk" (the real lyrics) are the tenses of the verb, but "stonk" seems more to me like a deliberate (and not necessarily related) joke by TBC. As it is, there is too much speculation to list it (coupled with the fact that, if it's a reference, then they got it wrong). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:23, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
::There is something to be said that this many people so far have been reminded of some version of the Grinch . . .

== Audio Quality ==

Is it just me, or do quotes of the week sound a little different (clearer, maybe?) than the originals? Just wonderin'.-LordQuackingstick
:Nope, you're right. The QOTWs are straight mp3s that don't play directly in the Flash animation. They play the sounds through Flash, which distorts the sound a bit. Probably makes the file size smaller than what it would otherwise be. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 00:35, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

== Crabadonk ==

Voice actors often do multiple takes of a line and the best one is selected later. This is clearly what Matt had done with Bubs' line "Crabadonk". Are all three outtakes for certain? Would this be better described as multiple takes? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:02, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
:This is like June 29, 2004's "I just hate you so much". Bubs says crabadonk twice in the e-mail. Let's not call this an outtake. Multiple takes is better. Or, we can just leave its source as plain ol' "[[the chair]]". —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 01:42, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
::The first two "Crabadonk"s of the QotW are outtakes. The third one matches the first time Bubs says "Crabadonk" in the email. The second time in the email is distinct to all three in the QotW. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:09, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

:::I say we stay with "outtake" — it seems to have [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/outtake both meanings], a take that's not used because it ends with a mistake, or any take that's not used (e.g., multiple takes are recorded and only the best is uesd).

::::Wait, at least one occurence of "crabadonk" cannot be called an outtake by either definition. Therefore, since it was used, that portion of the QOTW cannot be called an outtake.

== Define "outtake" ==

Well, we have more edit-warring here regarding outtake status than anything else, so let's explore the issue.

What is an outtake? It's a take that was not used in a toon, basically. It may have been a particular reading of a line (or a single word) that was rejected for a different approach. It might be a totally different line that was recorded but unused. It might be an error, or "blooper". But in each case, the outtake does not occur in the finished toon.

In the "clabadonk" case, a strong argument exists for referring to the three repeated words as "multiple takes". There's evidence that at least one of these takes were used in the finished toon. I suggested "multiple takes", but even if it's somehow agreed that these are outtakes, it should be plural, as these clearly are three successive takes.

In the most recent QOTW we have a different issue. This is a line from the toon, but some extra is apparently tacked on. I haven't taken the time to listen and compare, but if the lion's share of it is in fact the same as is used in the toon, how can we call it an outtake?

What I'd like is a bit more formal agreement on what should and should not be labeled as an outtake so these silly revert wars stop. (And, at risk of sounding like a scoolteacher, my rule of thumb is it's good to indicate in the edit summary why the edit was made, but if you or someone you agree with is reverted (or if what you reverted is added back), it's time to take it to the Talk page, lest these wars continue.) {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:47, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
:After another listening under the tutelage of Pom Pom's keen ears, I don't think the current QotW (18 Jan 2007) is an outtake, but there are a couple of lines in the middle of it that aren't in the toon. Namely, the underlined part here is missing: "I can't remember cereal, I can't remember TV. Is it football season yet? I don't even watch football. I hate football but I'll play football. Run you over in football. Run you down the field like a clown!" The rest of it sounds exactly like what's in the toon (although it's admittedly hard to hear under the voiceover). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:38, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
::Holy crap! A revert war because of my original edit. To me, it's not an outtake. Most of the quote is in the toon. It's all good, though. You can do anything you want to it. I don't care. {{User:Theyellowdart/sig}}

"Don't worry big guy, we'll find him... if the King of Town hasn't already ground him up into sausages." Now, this seems to be from [[Where's the Cheat?]], but not a direct quote. I discussed this with someone in the chat room a few months ago, and whoever they were seemed to agree with me that it was a quote of the week. Now, it could be a very good impression, but I don't think so. Does anyone remember this quote, if it ever was? --{{User:Smileyface11945/sig}} 19:50, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Incidentally, it should not read "Crack Stuntman ''as'' Gunhaver", because Stuntman wasn't playing Gunhaver at the time.

:I don't think Gunhaver's name should be in there at all because he's not acting as Gunhaver and Gunhaver didn't have anything to do with this quote. It's Crack. and it's mentioned in Marzipan's Answering machine that he is the "Handsome actor that's handsomely paid." to play Gunhaver... just because Gunhaver's picture is on the website doesn't attribute this quote to him. If anything it should read Crack Stuntman (Gunhaver) [[User:MisteR t|mister t]] 23:25, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

::Perhaps, but in that case all of the similar quotes would need to be reformatted. "Character shown (Actual speaker)" is simply the format we've used up to now.

The quote is actually from a short toon featuring Strong Bad, titled "''Field Day intro''". I can't seem to find a page for it here on the wiki, so I wanted to point out to that in case nobody had noticed. It doesn't have the bottom navigation links, neither does it continue to what it's an intro for so I'm guessing it's something unfinished.

== Couldn't resist ==

I've just woken up and I'm not a frequent wiki (HR or otherwise) contributor, sooooo ... FLASHING SCREEN 10x BONUS CONFUSION MULTIPLIER! -ding!ding!ding!- Anyways Bubs' N-E-S-T-L-E-S reference, I believe, was taken from a sleepy little jingle for a Nestle candy bar called 'Alpine White' television spot in the late 80's/early 90's. Dunno if you remember it ... can't believe I just did.

If I've misplaced this, certainly do feel free to edit/move this. --[[User:Cardgage Forty Twone|Cardgage Forty Twone]] 18:57, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

:[http://youtube.com/watch?v=V92wHNa1UvE I agree]. <s>Although is it possible he was just referring to Nestle (or another commercial)?</s> Just did a quick Youtube look through, I only found really crappy jingles. The N-E-S-T-L-E-S bit was only found on the Alpine White commercial. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 19:01, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Heh heh, yep. There it is ... the tagline at the end is: ''Sweet dreams you can't resist.'' ... obviously it was an effective jingle - apparently it's been stuck in more people's heads than just my own after, what, 18 years?! --[[User:Cardgage Forty Twone|Cardgage Forty Twone]] 20:44, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

== Sad Kids ==

When did the Sad Kids actually say, "Frosty? Flurry."
:It's one of those quotes that does not actually appear in a toon. But what I would like to know is if they were referencing Wendy's frosties and McDonald's McFlurries. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 22:15, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
::I certainly agree that it's a fast food dessert reference, My guess is that since the kids' "catchphrase" is "Huh? What?" that Matt (or is it Mike?) was just messing with that, and said something with a similar cadence. Maybe they had a quick-serve ice cream product jones while recording. [[User:Telamon|-Telamon]] 00:26, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

== I guess I forgot to... ==
Keep a backup of Coach Z's quote. Did anyone do this (to upload as a mirror), or is it lost forever? [[User:JasonDeLima|JasonDeLima]] 23:52, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

== Sort By Year ==

Can anyone stand to split this into separate articles listing each year's Quotes of the Week, as was done with [[Sketchbook]] and [[Weekly Fanstuff]]? That's the best solution I can think of to get rid of the "This article has more than 32 kb" thing. All those "Unknowns" should probably go into their own article or go with the 2002 article. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 19:52, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

:There is no need to split this page up. The page is not too long nor does it have too many images. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 21:29, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
::Hit "edit" and it clearly says that the page ''is'' too long. ("WARNING: This page is 60 kilobytes long; some browsers may have problems editing pages approaching or longer than 32kb. Please consider breaking the page into smaller sections.") Also, it's starting to feel odd that this is the only weekly page not sorted out by year. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 21:33, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
:::Solution: Stop using browsers that have problems with that, then. =3 In all serious, though, I don't much like the idea of splitting it either. It's mostly just a list, unlike the other two, which have pictures. Furthermore, each of those have dates. The inconsistancy of the dates here presents a problem: look how many early ones are listed as "unknown". Where would you put them? The '03 ones are very sparce, and there's only one '02. I don't really see the need for it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:40, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
::::As I said in the [[Talk:Main Page#Too long, Clanky!|other place you posted this]], the "This page is too long" warning is just a benchmark, a notice that you should possibly consider splitting the page. After all, if an ''article'' reached this length, then it would definitely either go into too much detail, or have several logical sections it could be broken up into (like the Peasant's Quest walkthrough, references, etc). But a list such as this one is fine as is... and being able to sort all of the quotes at once by, say, character head would be impossible if they were split by year. Personally, I think we should maybe copy over the Wikipedia version of this message ("This page is ''xx''kb. It may be appropriate to split this article into smaller, more specific articles." without the word "WARNING") because that just seems more better. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 07:36, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

== Spare any mush and guitars in one day? ==

Uh... Did I miss one quote of the week in one day? And now I have "I DON'T WANT TO EAT A GUITAR!" did they do two? [[User:209.30.145.199|209.30.145.199]] 22:24, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah - is there any info on that? I mean, they put the [[Sickly Sam]] one and then just went and posted the [[Strong Mad]] one? --[[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 20:04, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
:They first put on the duplicate Sickly Sam quote (see QOW, 22 Sep 2005). In Charlie Jr.'s edit summary [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Quote_of_the_Week&diff=next&oldid=507707], he mentioned he wished that they would put on Strong Mad's eat-a-guitar quote and the [[Brothers Chaps]] apparently realized their mistake, saw Charlie Jr.'s edit summary, and granted his wish. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 20:17, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

== Jibblies 3 ==

When I listened to Marzipan's jibblies, I can hear one of [[The Brothers Chaps]] saying something like, "Oh, yeah, keep going." Do you know which one is saying it? I can never tell Mike and Matt apart. {{User:Religious Corn/sig}} 19:11, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

== Outtake? ==

I think that the current quote is Missy trying out her line. That's why Matt can be heard saying "Yeah, keep going" after her line. But if it isn't an outtake, I don't know what to say it is. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 19:46, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

== Too may SBs ==

Do you suppose it's worth mentioning that of all the characters' lines used in Quote of the Week, Strong Bad has the most? I mean, his head was there for three consecutive weeks with "...if your jim-jams happen to be...", "Borgoroth of Coolswordoroth...", and "Oh, way to impress, Spirit of St. Loolis..." And it seems a Homestar Runner quote hasn't been used in a while. Even Homsar hasn't had another since late 2005. -[[User:Charlie Jr.|Charlie Jr.]] 20:04, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
:All of that is obvious and not worth noting. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 20:09, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

== Mirrors behind mirrors. ==

I've found a mirror for "The Wicked Guitar Solo" from [[personal favorites]]. Or actually, I just dug up the old one. It still works, if you know how to get there. It's on [http://www.freewebs.com/hsrquotes2/previousquotes.htm this page], listed as "The E-mail Rokk". The funny thing is that a [http://www.freewebs.com/hsrquotes2/email_rokk.mp3 direct link to the file] doesn't seem to work sometimes, and will just bounce you back here, or whatever page you came from. Freewebs' server most likely checks the [[Wikipedia:referrer|referrer (oops, referer)]] and just spits it right back at you if it matches some filter of theirs (Or doesn't match, however they've got it set up). So, if someone with the know-how and power-how (or something like that) to upload it to the HRWiki mirror would do so, we'd be down to just one QotW without a mirror link! (Marzipan's "I'm the only girl"). -- [[User:Laser-Grilled Crab & Cheese Sandwich|LGC&CS]] 05:01, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

:I doubt the authenticity of that recording. The [[Audio Quality|quality]] is very poor. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 05:08, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

::True, comparing the email itself and the file, the sound is quite different. But I'd say that in itself is not inconsistent with the older quotes mirrored on the wiki. And the files on that webpage seem to be identical with the ones mirrored here, though it's quite possible that one copied them from the other, which would be difficult to confirm at this point. I think that file is at least equally authentic as the other old QotW files we have mirrored here. Maybe it is the original, official file. Maybe it isn't, and one day someone will dig up the original file. Or maybe TBC will repost it. I suppose the hope is that someone who does have the original will notice it's missing on this page, and submit it. In any case, I consider that file to be better than none at all, and I'm glad that I found it. If it doesn't seem good enough to list officially on the page, then at least those interested can find it following the links I posted here. I just found it strange that the link was summarily removed [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Quote_of_the_Week&diff=310223&oldid=304327 a while back]. -- [[User:Laser-Grilled Crab & Cheese Sandwich|LGC&CS]] 06:12, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

:::Yes, I'd say most of those files were taken from here. The site [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Links&diff=42356&oldid=42355 is run] by [[User:Homestar Runnar]] ([[User:Bottles98]]), try asking them. As for that edit removing it, I'd say that's a very good reason Nelson left in the edit summary, especially because of the trouble you described in downloading the file just above. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:36, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
::::I wouldn't doubt it because of low quality. This is a very early QotW. TBC have gotten better at sound quality. That website is where I found the "MATT!" quote several months ago. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 01:25, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

== Ja What? ==

...all right, I've removed that silly "Ja" fact like, three times, and it keeps getting added back. What *is* the big deal here? Considering it's not actually a real word, and that Schenkel McDoo's grasp of the English language is tenuous at best, this fact seems pointless and demeaning. Should we put a fun fact in [[buried]] about how when he says "Yold Ones Vry" at the end, he actually means "Cold Ones Dry"? Some of these so-called "facts" are so ridiculously nitpicky it's not funny. -{{User:YK/sig}} 23:53, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
:Are you aware of the linguistic relation between /y/ and /j/? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:55, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
::Ja, but that's really not the issue. "Yah" is perfectly acceptable; I've seen it spelled this way before. It isn't a glaring error that especially needs to be pointed out, because it's really not much more "incorrect", IMO, than Catsup/Ketchup. But let's be serious here. When you consider McDoo uses "Yah" in another line along with "Yold Ones Vry", which isn't proper grammar no matter *how* you look at it, it seems, as I said, excessively nitpicky. That, and I think TBC is allowed to make their characters talk as they want. But eh. -{{User:YK/sig}} 00:00, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
:::Apart from YK's rant, he has a point. It borders on speculation to assume that he was actually saying "ja". Admittedly, a word meaning "yes" fits there, and he does have a foreign name and accent ("Ja" actually means "yes" in at least 7 languages [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ja#Andere_Sprachen], most notably German - which would also match his accent). In my opinion, it's speculation, and a discussion here on the talk page is all the documentation we need.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:01, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

:::::Given that Taranchula are clearly portrayed as Scandinavian, I don't think it's at all unreasonable to speculate that they were saying "ja".

==Latest quote: 80s rock influence?==

The style of the music and Marzipan's accent and slang remind me of 80s rock bands that featured a female vocalist, such as Siouxsie and the Banshees.
:It doesn't even sound like Marzipan's voice to me. Could it be something that someone else made, and sent to TBC, like the real marching band version of the CGNU fight song? But yeah, it's definately very Female-80s-band-esque. -- [[User:Chupaqueso|Chupaqueso]] 03:18, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
::No, if it was fan-made, I'm sure they'd tell us. Also, it'd be too conveniently timed. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::Yeah, your probably right. But maybe it was someone other than Missy doing the singing? Wait, I just thought of something. What if this QOTW is supposed to be what Cool Tapes would sound like if Marzipan rocked (from Different Town)? -- [[User:Chupaqueso|Chupaqueso]] 22:54, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
::::Have you people even listened to the clip? That is clearly Missy singing! If it isn't, may lightning strike me down right now! Only before "me", put in "people who disagree with". And how could it be fan-made? Can't you here Strong Mad and The Cheat's ''doley-o'''s ? That's Matt doing their voices, no doubt about it. {{User:VolatileChemical/sig}} 15:41, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

:I just noticed the same thing myself. It may have been a one time thing, it may perhaps be kept in reserve only for long quotes, or perhaps those with a greater knowledge of flash could tell me if it's somehow still there, but only triggered on extra large quotes. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 17:47, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

http://www.vulomedia.com/images/53421Qod.png

==Awesome, just AWESOME!==

Regarding the "Quote of the Week exclusive" source, it seems to me to more likely be either a [[Cheat Commandos...O's]] outtake ("Fantastic!", "Well that's...just...great!"), or possibly a [[Shopping for Danger]] outtake ("Fan-freaking-tastic!"). But it's hard to say for certain. Any ideas? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:16, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
:I'm sure it's a teaser for the next Cheat Commandos toon! ;-) {{User:Loafing/sig}} 06:43, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
::I kind of think it's speculation to call it an outtake at this point. The quote it most closely resembles is "Well, that's... just... great!", but I think the similarity isn't great enough for us to assume it's an outtake of this line. I think we should consider it a QOTW exclusive. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 07:14, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
:::Since you listed two sources when Commander angrily shout positive things, I think it's just his personality and can't be attributed to any one cartoon.

==Milkshake?==
I noticed this QotW is attributed to a rather unique item, the old milkshake from under the seat, on Homestarrunner.com. But over here, it's just attributed to singers. Shouldn't this be recorded on the QotW page? [[User:Geshmalderborgen|Geshmalder]] 15:52, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
:The song doesn't actually exist (Strong Bad just made it up) so neither do the singers. As such, the hypothetical non-existent singers are represented visually as an object associated with that scene. This is only because the format of QotW on the actual site requires the image of something the quote is coming from. The wiki, however, does not, and is free to state the true sayers of the quote, annonymous "singers", without having to resort to images. The ability to present the fact that all we know about the sayers of this quote is that they're singers, is why it shouldn't be recorded on the QotW page. Does that answer your question? {{User:VolatileChemical/sig}} 06:40, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

== Not really an outtake ==

The new qotw is labelled an outtake, but it isn't really. Strong Bad cuts Strong Sad off, but you can hear him finishing quietly in the background. --Telamon

==Reggae Song==

I know they have Marzipan's picture for the "Bread and butter pickle" reggae song Quote of the Week, but that's a pretty obvious Police-era Sting imitation. Anyone agree? {{unsigned|71.167.106.88|22:06, 3 November 2006}}

I once imagined a version of Marzipan just saying it out. No song, just talking.

==Character Heads On Main Article?==
::I think this necessitates a different discussion. Is the format of this page as good as it can be? Early on, there has been no question that the character name and comma indicated both that this was the character speaking/singing, and that it was the character head used. But with the Chumbly Wumbly Bear song, and now even more so this, we see that there is confusion. Perhaps the character head id should be in its own "character head" column. This would make it clear that ''that'' is what we are noting, and who we hear speaking the quote is not necessarily the same (and is a secondary priority on this page). In cases like the above, we can note elsewhere whether the character head accurately depicts the speaker/singer. Thoughts? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:30, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
::::I like Qermaq's plan. Had they started with the heads from the beginning, there would have been no question. Since we'd already came up with the format before the heads though, it kinda got ignored. I think a little 20 or 30 px image on each line might be a nice touch. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 07:06, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
::::'''EDIT:''' If we're going to integrate the head, I'd like to see a decision here before somebody goes through them all only to have somebody come up with a better format. I'm thinking split the table into pre and post character heads quote tables, and something like this:

:::::I think it's a generally good idea. Would you do it differently than this when the speaker is more unambiguously the character whose head appears? I was originally thinking more along the lines of this:

== Take out the outtake ==

On the one hand, the "Good graphics" (11/16/06) quote says it's an outtake in Windows Media Player. On the other hand... is it really any different than the actual line in [[Peasant's Quest Preview]]? At all? I can't right now, but I'd like to listen to both simultaneously to check. If not, I think we should put a note (or Fun Fact) stating that they call it an outtake but it's not. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:54, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

:They are exactly the same.

::Well done! Maybe it is both an outtake and an Easter egg. Mike's "What?" sounds genuine. My guess is that they decided it was a funny enough outtake for an Easter egg.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 01:12, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
:::"...can we trust that it's an "outtake" when it exactly matches the toon?"[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Quote_of_the_Week&diff=385810&oldid=385806]
:::Good question. It just doesn't make sense to say that, though. This is, by the book, not an outtake because it is ''in'' the toon. It's not best to blindly follow what TBC say if it's clearly incorrect or misleading. More likely than not, it says outtake in Windows Media Player because they simply didn't give a care what the incorrect or out-of-date title was when they put it up or it had not occurred to them. We've [[Talk:H*R.com updates 2006#Dating discrepancy|consented]] that we should give the actual date of release on the updates page even if the main page says otherwise, and I don't see why we should be any less accurate in our description of this QOTW based on what TBC may have inadvertantly said. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 07:38, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

== You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch ==

It's dot com:

Should we be splitting hairs between stonk and stunk?
# it was an outake so they could have easily have screwed up the line
# if this is where the line originated, they probably didn't pull up a script but did it from memory
# it is a little over 2 weeks before christmas so that the likelyhood that they are either working on a christmas/decemberween toon, or watching christmas movies are high.

I think that they probably saw the Grinch that stole christmas recently and thought of the line. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 17:07, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
:Like I said in the edit summary, I was reminded of this as well. "Stink, stank, stunk" (the real lyrics) are the tenses of the verb, but "stonk" seems more to me like a deliberate (and not necessarily related) joke by TBC. As it is, there is too much speculation to list it (coupled with the fact that, if it's a reference, then they got it wrong). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:23, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
::There is something to be said that this many people so far have been reminded of some version of the Grinch . . .

Someone who has made the edit recently, give us some help as to why you think it's a reference. It seems like too many people to just be pulling it out of thin air to me, but at this point I don't see a strong argument for the reference. - [[User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C|Ilko Skevüld's Teh C]] 17:07, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

== Audio Quality ==

Is it just me, or do quotes of the week sound a little different (clearer, maybe?) than the originals? Just wonderin'.-LordQuackingstick
:Nope, you're right. The QOTWs are straight mp3s that don't play directly in the Flash animation. They play the sounds through Flash, which distorts the sound a bit. Probably makes the file size smaller than what it would otherwise be. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 00:35, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
::Actually, it's not that it plays through Flash, but to save loading times in the cartoons, Flash automatically exports them as a lower quality. They just keep the original versions on their computer. - {{User:The Joe/sig}} 00:37, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

== Crabadonk ==

Voice actors often do multiple takes of a line and the best one is selected later. This is clearly what Matt had done with Bubs' line "Crabadonk". Are all three outtakes for certain? Would this be better described as multiple takes? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:02, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
:This is like June 29, 2004's "I just hate you so much". Bubs says crabadonk twice in the e-mail. Let's not call this an outtake. Multiple takes is better. Or, we can just leave its source as plain ol' "[[the chair]]". —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 01:42, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
::The first two "Crabadonk"s of the QotW are outtakes. The third one matches the first time Bubs says "Crabadonk" in the email. The second time in the email is distinct to all three in the QotW. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:09, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

:::I say we stay with "outtake" — it seems to have [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/outtake both meanings], a take that's not used because it ends with a mistake, or any take that's not used (e.g., multiple takes are recorded and only the best is uesd). No point in using different words if we don't have to, I think. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 19:17, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
::::Wait, at least one occurence of "crabadonk" cannot be called an outtake by either definition. Therefore, since it was used, that portion of the QOTW cannot be called an outtake. "Multiple takes" communicates more clearly what they are, and I think multiple words are warranted when clarity is concerned. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:34, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

== Define "outtake" ==

Well, we have more edit-warring here regarding outtake status than anything else, so let's explore the issue.

What is an outtake? It's a take that was not used in a toon, basically. It may have been a particular reading of a line (or a single word) that was rejected for a different approach. It might be a totally different line that was recorded but unused. It might be an error, or "blooper". But in each case, the outtake does not occur in the finished toon.

In the "clabadonk" case, a strong argument exists for referring to the three repeated words as "multiple takes". There's evidence that at least one of these takes were used in the finished toon. I suggested "multiple takes", but even if it's somehow agreed that these are outtakes, it should be plural, as these clearly are three successive takes.

In the most recent QOTW we have a different issue. This is a line from the toon, but some extra is apparently tacked on. I haven't taken the time to listen and compare, but if the lion's share of it is in fact the same as is used in the toon, how can we call it an outtake?

What I'd like is a bit more formal agreement on what should and should not be labeled as an outtake so these silly revert wars stop. (And, at risk of sounding like a scoolteacher, my rule of thumb is it's good to indicate in the edit summary why the edit was made, but if you or someone you agree with is reverted (or if what you reverted is added back), it's time to take it to the Talk page, lest these wars continue.) {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:47, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
:After another listening under the tutelage of Pom Pom's keen ears, I don't think the current QotW (18 Jan 2007) is an outtake, but there are a couple of lines in the middle of it that aren't in the toon. Namely, the underlined part here is missing: "I can't remember cereal, I can't remember TV. Is it football season yet? I don't even watch football. I hate football but I'll play football. Run you over in football. Run you down the field like a clown!" The rest of it sounds exactly like what's in the toon (although it's admittedly hard to hear under the voiceover). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:38, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
::Holy crap! A revert war because of my original edit. To me, it's not an outtake. Most of the quote is in the toon. It's all good, though. You can do anything you want to it. I don't care. {{User:Theyellowdart/sig}}

"Don't worry big guy, we'll find him... if the King of Town hasn't already ground him up into sausages." Now, this seems to be from [[Where's the Cheat?]], but not a direct quote. I discussed this with someone in the chat room a few months ago, and whoever they were seemed to agree with me that it was a quote of the week.

The page states that the qoute of the week from 24 May 2007 is a Quote exclusive. Since the link for the file is ''sb_fieldday'' I went to [[HR:fieldday.html|fieldday.html]] to check it out. The quote is actually from a short toon featuring Strong Bad, titled "''Field Day intro''". I can't seem to find a page for it here on the wiki, so I wanted to point out to that in case nobody had noticed. It doesn't have the bottom navigation links, neither does it continue to what it's an intro for so I'm guessing it's something unfinished.

:::Solution: Stop using browsers that have problems with that, then. =3 In all serious, though, I don't much like the idea of splitting it either.

::::As I said in the [[Talk:Main Page#Too long, Clanky!|other place you posted this]], the "This page is too long" warning is just a benchmark, a notice that you should possibly consider splitting the page. After all, if an ''article'' reached this length, then it would definitely either go into too much detail, or have several logical sections it could be broken up into (like the Peasant's Quest walkthrough, references, etc). But a list such as this one is fine as is... and being able to sort all of the quotes at once by, say, character head would be impossible if they were split by year. Personally, I think we should maybe copy over the Wikipedia version of this message ("This page is ''xx''kb. It may be appropriate to split this article into smaller, more specific articles." without the word "WARNING") because that just seems more better. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 07:36, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

== Mirrors behind mirrors. ==

I've found a mirror for "The Wicked Guitar Solo" from [[personal favorites]]. Or actually, I just dug up the old one. It still works, if you know how to get there. It's on [http://www.freewebs.com/hsrquotes2/previousquotes.htm this page], listed as "The E-mail Rokk". The funny thing is that a [http://www.freewebs.com/hsrquotes2/email_rokk.mp3 direct link to the file] doesn't seem to work sometimes, and will just bounce you back here, or whatever page you came from. Freewebs' server most likely checks the [[Wikipedia:referrer|referrer (oops, referer)]] and just spits it right back at you if it matches some filter of theirs (Or doesn't match, however they've got it set up). So, if someone with the know-how and power-how (or something like that) to upload it to the HRWiki mirror would do so, we'd be down to just one QotW without a mirror link!

::True, comparing the email itself and the file, the sound is quite different. But I'd say that in itself is not inconsistent with the older quotes mirrored on the wiki. And the files on that webpage seem to be identical with the ones mirrored here, though it's quite possible that one copied them from the other, which would be difficult to confirm at this point. I think that file is at least equally authentic as the other old QotW files we have mirrored here. Maybe it is the original, official file. Maybe it isn't, and one day someone will dig up the original file. Or maybe TBC will repost it. I suppose the hope is that someone who does have the original will notice it's missing on this page, and submit it. In any case, I consider that file to be better than none at all, and I'm glad that I found it. If it doesn't seem good enough to list officially on the page, then at least those interested can find it following the links I posted here.

::Ja, but that's really not the issue. "Yah" is perfectly acceptable; I've seen it spelled this way before. It isn't a glaring error that especially needs to be pointed out, because it's really not much more "incorrect", IMO, than Catsup/Ketchup. But let's be serious here. When you consider McDoo uses "Yah" in another line along with "Yold Ones Vry", which isn't proper grammar no matter *how* you look at it, it seems, as I said, excessively nitpicky. That, and I think TBC is allowed to make their characters talk as they want. But eh. -{{User:YK/sig}} 00:00, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
:::Apart from YK's rant, he has a point. It borders on speculation to assume that he was actually saying "ja".

My point of view: I don't think that costumes for variations should be included on this page. They don't seem to fit with the rest of the costumes. On the other hand, perhaps these other costumes should be noted somewhere else. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 09:24, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

"TAG TEAM WRESTLING" NOT "TAG TEAM PRO WRESTLING" (DATA EAST 1986)

No, the first guy is right. In that game, from Data East, there are only two wrestling teams, one names the "Ricky Fighters" and one called "The Strongbads." The strongbads consisted of one red masked wrestler that created red impact signs (easily mistaken for gloves) when he hit somebody. The other wrestler was a fat bearded guy. Data East has a strong case for copyright infringement...

do some research

== I agree ==

These need more stuff about their personality. for begginners

What could also be added to this is the origination of the characters. Like say, Strong Bad. He was in a 1986 NES video game entitled "Tag Team Pro Wrestling" and is somehow copyrighted to homestarrunner.com when it was clearly copyrighted in that game. The true ownership should be credited to the real character owners.

THAT'S NOT TRUE!
You can play "Tag Team Pro Wrestling" on www.everyvideogame.com . Not only is it a crappy video game, the wrestlers are NAMELESS, and none of them wear anything resembling Strongbad's mask!

Ironically, so are both of you guys. As for StrongBad, He does not come from that game. [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]

D. He has acess to moving pictures. (Strong Bad E-mail "No Loafing")

== Boxing gloves? ==

Why is anybody mentioning how SB can type with boxing gloves on? I think it is well worth mentioning

How are we even sure that those even ''are'' boxing gloves? It said in one of the interviews that Strong Bad's face is a mask, and he doesn't hae anything underneath it. Maybe his boxing gloves ARE his hands. --[[User:Darklinkskywalker|Darklinkskywalker]] 20:47, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:His boxing gloves are, in fact, his hands: [[some kinda robot]] {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 21:31, 14 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::He's right. That and in "New Hands". His face is a mask and his hands are Boxin' gloves. Yup...I'm gonna go start somethin on Sweet Cuppin' Cakes.Check it out.-Maarshmallow(Zaak)

== Age ==

I've found enough evidence to form an estimate of Strong Bad's age.

*In the SB E-mail "Two Years", Strong Bad shows us a photo of himself in 1987 which shows that he was still an adult at that time.
*In The SB E-mail "Stand-Up", we see Strong Bad as a child. Coach Z's afro indicates that the time period was the 70's.

With this evidence, I have estimated Strong Bad's age at 30-35 years old.

:I have found some evidence that contadicts your claim:
:*Strong Bad is a cartoon character.
:[[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:41, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)

An interesting idea, but the idea of Stand up has been debated in STUFF, and we thought that Coach Z had no fashion sense, and that his afro was out of style. And Strong Bad isn't exactly human, so we really can't think of his age. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}

Actually, in a pure sense of considering everything, what about Strong Bad's appearance in [[old comics|The Castlefunnies]], which got cancelled prior to 1948! That puts his age at 57, at least. Anyway, he's whatever age he needs to be for a particular cartoon. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 23:02, 10 August 2005 (BST)

That's contradicts, not contadicts, and Strong Sad is much better than Strong Bad.
-Mips
Whats yer problem,Mipsy?!?Strong Bad is TONS better than Strong Sad. Strong Sad is stupid and a bone figure wearin' a potato sack in "Ballad of the Sneak" and in "Highschool"'s Easter egg.Click on Roman Times on the last page of the e-mail to see him in a bag of Olives.

== Elvis Costello ==

:After a quick search, I found that the video for "Every Day I Write The Book" featured actors playing Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Charles is sitting at his typewriter plugging away on the book (while wearing boxing gloves). Meanwhile Princess Di is watching cheesy swashbuckling romantic black and white movies, intermittently looking over at Charles and sighing.

== Triangle or Diamond? ==

Okay, is the thing on SB's face a triangle or diamond? Because It's shaped like a triangle, but in SB' biography, [[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] keeps changing it to diamond. Am I missing something? [[User:Homestramy20|Homestramy20]] 22:45, 29 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Strong Bad's Poor Word Usage ==

I'm sure many of you have noticed Strong Bad's numerous spelling and grammatical errors throughout his email career. Do you think this deserves it's own page, an amendment to the current character bio, or just the throwaway mention it currently has? Just asking. -{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}} 05:26, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
:First of all, I'd like to move that the word "hypocrisy" not be used, since it's a pet peeve of mine when it's used to mean "someone failing to live up to what they preach". It really ought to be reserved more for situations of duplicity and misrepresentation, in which people try to make themselves appear to hold beliefs or standards that they inwardly know they don't. But to answer your question, yeah, it's common enough that it deserves something. Either expanded coverage on this page, or maybe a page to itself. I was starting to mention Running Gags and Inside Jokes, but I guess one problem is that some of these seem to be TBC goofs rather than gags. Hm. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 05:39, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
::Stricken from the record. In face I won't even call it Hy****sy any more. We'll call it Josh. Ok, so would you favor just expanding the character bio more, or having it's own page that we could link stuff to?

If someone wants to dig deep enough into the subject, they'll find a nice page waiting for them. But that's just me. -{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}} 05:59, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Mm—I'm not sure. I can see merits of both. (Of having a page because it would be easy to link to and because this does have the marks of a recurring phenomenon, if not an intentional gag; and of keeping it on this page just because we seem to be making new pages every day chronicling every instance of specific conceptual entities, and maybe we need to ease up on them.) I'm... hesitant. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 06:02, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
::::Understandable. I must confess that I am guilty of creating a probably useless page, though it was fun to do, and far more efficient than just tacking it on to the page in question (specifically [[The Paper]]. See [[Preeow]] and tell me what you think). Part of me is probably just looking for crap I can take credit for and I'm surpressing that urge because that's not what the Wiki is about. However, I think this particular phenomenon merits closer study and categorization, just because I keep finding loose refernces to Strong Bad's spelling errors, and I'd like to have them corralled in one place. -{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}} 06:09, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

== Prejudice ==

You have his ethnic prejudices on this page - they are minor if existant. I think that as long as that is there it is worty mentioning that he seems to be homophobic, based on his reactions to come-ons from Homestar and Brian (brianrietta). Don't you think this is worth mentioning?

This was reverted by Qermaq with the comment "I dunno. It's highly subjective, plus the animation demands make this kinda likely". I want to argue this, and the talk page is a better place to do it than edit summaries. 
I don't see how that is highly subjective. Maybe a little subjective. It's pretty obvious in [[The Cheat Theme Song]], and Main Page 23. He doesn't move his head from side to side at all from the front, but he does it a lot from the back. 
And I do know why it was done, but I just thought it was interesting. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 02:14, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

"TAG TEAM WRESTLING" NOT "TAG TEAM PRO WRESTLING" (DATA EAST 1986)

No, the first guy is right. In that game, from Data East, there are only two wrestling teams, one names the "Ricky Fighters" and one called "The Strongbads." The strongbads consisted of one red masked wrestler that created red impact signs (easily mistaken for gloves) when he hit somebody. The other wrestler was a fat bearded guy. Data East has a strong case for copyright infringement...

do some research

== I agree ==

These need more stuff about their personality. for begginners

What could also be added to this is the origination of the characters. Like say, Strong Bad. He was in a 1986 NES video game entitled "Tag Team Pro Wrestling" and is somehow copyrighted to homestarrunner.com when it was clearly copyrighted in that game. The true ownership should be credited to the real character owners.

THAT'S NOT TRUE!
You can play "Tag Team Pro Wrestling" on www.everyvideogame.com . Not only is it a crappy video game, the wrestlers are NAMELESS, and none of them wear anything resembling Strongbad's mask!

Ironically, so are both of you guys. As for StrongBad, He does not come from that game. [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]

D. He has acess to moving pictures. (Strong Bad E-mail "No Loafing")

== Age ==

I've found enough evidence to form an estimate of Strong Bad's age.

*In the SB E-mail "Two Years", Strong Bad shows us a photo of himself in 1987 which shows that he was still an adult at that time.
*In The SB E-mail "Stand-Up", we see Strong Bad as a child. Coach Z's afro indicates that the time period was the 70's.

With this evidence, I have estimated Strong Bad's age at 30-35 years old.

:I have found some evidence that contadicts your claim:
:*Strong Bad is a cartoon character.
:[[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:41, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)

An interesting idea, but the idea of Stand up has been debated in STUFF, and we thought that Coach Z had no fashion sense, and that his afro was out of style. And Strong Bad isn't exactly human, so we really can't think of his age. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}

Actually, in a pure sense of considering everything, what about Strong Bad's appearance in [[old comics|The Castlefunnies]], which got cancelled prior to 1948! That puts his age at 57, at least. Anyway, he's whatever age he needs to be for a particular cartoon. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 23:02, 10 August 2005 (BST)

That's contradicts, not contadicts, and Strong Sad is much better than Strong Bad.

Whats yer problem,Mipsy?!?Strong Bad is TONS better than Strong Sad. Strong Sad is stupid and a bone figure wearin' a potato sack in "Ballad of the Sneak" and in "Highschool"'s Easter egg.Click on Roman Times on the last page of the e-mail to see him in a bag of Olives.

== Elvis Costello ==

:After a quick search, I found that the video for "Every Day I Write The Book" featured actors playing Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Charles is sitting at his typewriter plugging away on the book (while wearing boxing gloves). Meanwhile Princess Di is watching cheesy swashbuckling romantic black and white movies, intermittently looking over at Charles and sighing.

== Strong Bad's Poor Word Usage ==

I'm sure many of you have noticed Strong Bad's numerous spelling and grammatical errors throughout his email career.

Just asking. -{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}} 05:26, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
:First of all, I'd like to move that the word "hypocrisy" not be used, since it's a pet peeve of mine when it's used to mean "someone failing to live up to what they preach". It really ought to be reserved more for situations of duplicity and misrepresentation, in which people try to make themselves appear to hold beliefs or standards that they inwardly know they don't. But to answer your question, yeah, it's common enough that it deserves something. Either expanded coverage on this page, or maybe a page to itself. I was starting to mention Running Gags and Inside Jokes, but I guess one problem is that some of these seem to be TBC goofs rather than gags.

::Stricken from the record. In face I won't even call it Hy****sy any more. We'll call it Josh.

:::Mm—I'm not sure. I can see merits of both. (Of having a page because it would be easy to link to and because this does have the marks of a recurring phenomenon, if not an intentional gag; and of keeping it on this page just because we seem to be making new pages every day chronicling every instance of specific conceptual entities, and maybe we need to ease up on them.)

::::Understandable. I must confess that I am guilty of creating a probably useless page, though it was fun to do, and far more efficient than just tacking it on to the page in question (specifically [[The Paper]]. See [[Preeow]] and tell me what you think). Part of me is probably just looking for crap I can take credit for and I'm surpressing that urge because that's not what the Wiki is about.

You have his ethnic prejudices on this page - they are minor if existant. I think that as long as that is there it is worty mentioning that he seems to be homophobic, based on his reactions to come-ons from Homestar and Brian (brianrietta). Don't you think this is worth mentioning?

This was reverted by Qermaq with the comment "I dunno. It's highly subjective, plus the animation demands make this kinda likely". I want to argue this, and the talk page is a better place to do it than edit summaries. 
I don't see how that is highly subjective. Maybe a little subjective. It's pretty obvious in [[The Cheat Theme Song]], and Main Page 23. He doesn't move his head from side to side at all from the front, but he does it a lot from the back. 
And I do know why it was done, but I just thought it was interesting. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 02:14, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

"TAG TEAM WRESTLING" NOT "TAG TEAM PRO WRESTLING" (DATA EAST 1986)

No, the first guy is right. In that game, from Data East, there are only two wrestling teams, one names the "Ricky Fighters" and one called "The Strongbads." The strongbads consisted of one red masked wrestler that created red impact signs (easily mistaken for gloves) when he hit somebody. The other wrestler was a fat bearded guy. Data East has a strong case for copyright infringement...

do some research

== I agree ==

These need more stuff about their personality. for begginners

What could also be added to this is the origination of the characters. Like say, Strong Bad. He was in a 1986 NES video game entitled "Tag Team Pro Wrestling" and is somehow copyrighted to homestarrunner.com when it was clearly copyrighted in that game. The true ownership should be credited to the real character owners.

THAT'S NOT TRUE!
You can play "Tag Team Pro Wrestling" on www.everyvideogame.com . Not only is it a crappy video game, the wrestlers are NAMELESS, and none of them wear anything resembling Strongbad's mask!

Ironically, so are both of you guys. As for StrongBad, He does not come from that game. [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]

A. His house's layout changes.
B. He has a hobby of "Barbzerdry"
C. He has telekinetic powers.
D. He has acess to moving pictures. (Strong Bad E-mail "No Loafing")

== Boxing gloves? ==

Why is anybody mentioning how SB can type with boxing gloves on? I think it is well worth mentioning

::He's right. That and in "New Hands". His face is a mask and his hands are Boxin' gloves. Yup...I'm gonna go start somethin on Sweet Cuppin' Cakes.Check it out.-Maarshmallow(Zaak)

== Age ==

I've found enough evidence to form an estimate of Strong Bad's age.

*In the SB E-mail "Two Years", Strong Bad shows us a photo of himself in 1987 which shows that he was still an adult at that time.
*In The SB E-mail "Stand-Up", we see Strong Bad as a child. Coach Z's afro indicates that the time period was the 70's.

With this evidence, I have estimated Strong Bad's age at 30-35 years old.

:I have found some evidence that contadicts your claim:
:*Strong Bad is a cartoon character.
:[[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:41, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)

An interesting idea, but the idea of Stand up has been debated in STUFF, and we thought that Coach Z had no fashion sense, and that his afro was out of style. And Strong Bad isn't exactly human, so we really can't think of his age. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}

Actually, in a pure sense of considering everything, what about Strong Bad's appearance in [[old comics|The Castlefunnies]], which got cancelled prior to 1948! That puts his age at 57, at least. Anyway, he's whatever age he needs to be for a particular cartoon. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 23:02, 10 August 2005 (BST)

That's contradicts, not contadicts, and Strong Sad is much better than Strong Bad.

Whats yer problem,Mipsy?!?Strong Bad is TONS better than Strong Sad. Strong Sad is stupid and a bone figure wearin' a potato sack in "Ballad of the Sneak" and in "Highschool"'s Easter egg.Click on Roman Times on the last page of the e-mail to see him in a bag of Olives.

== Elvis Costello ==

:After a quick search, I found that the video for "Every Day I Write The Book" featured actors playing Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Charles is sitting at his typewriter plugging away on the book (while wearing boxing gloves). Meanwhile Princess Di is watching cheesy swashbuckling romantic black and white movies, intermittently looking over at Charles and sighing.

== Strong Bad's Poor Word Usage ==

I'm sure many of you have noticed Strong Bad's numerous spelling and grammatical errors throughout his email career. Do you think this deserves it's own page, an amendment to the current character bio, or just the throwaway mention it currently has? Just asking. -{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}} 05:26, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
:First of all, I'd like to move that the word "hypocrisy" not be used, since it's a pet peeve of mine when it's used to mean "someone failing to live up to what they preach". It really ought to be reserved more for situations of duplicity and misrepresentation, in which people try to make themselves appear to hold beliefs or standards that they inwardly know they don't. But to answer your question, yeah, it's common enough that it deserves something. Either expanded coverage on this page, or maybe a page to itself. I was starting to mention Running Gags and Inside Jokes, but I guess one problem is that some of these seem to be TBC goofs rather than gags. Hm. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 05:39, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
::Stricken from the record. In face I won't even call it Hy****sy any more. We'll call it Josh. Ok, so would you favor just expanding the character bio more, or having it's own page that we could link stuff to?

If someone wants to dig deep enough into the subject, they'll find a nice page waiting for them. But that's just me. -{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}} 05:59, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Mm—I'm not sure. I can see merits of both. (Of having a page because it would be easy to link to and because this does have the marks of a recurring phenomenon, if not an intentional gag; and of keeping it on this page just because we seem to be making new pages every day chronicling every instance of specific conceptual entities, and maybe we need to ease up on them.) I'm... hesitant. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 06:02, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
::::Understandable. I must confess that I am guilty of creating a probably useless page, though it was fun to do, and far more efficient than just tacking it on to the page in question (specifically [[The Paper]]. See [[Preeow]] and tell me what you think). Part of me is probably just looking for crap I can take credit for and I'm surpressing that urge because that's not what the Wiki is about. However, I think this particular phenomenon merits closer study and categorization, just because I keep finding loose refernces to Strong Bad's spelling errors, and I'd like to have them corralled in one place. -{{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}} 06:09, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

You have his ethnic prejudices on this page - they are minor if existant. I think that as long as that is there it is worty mentioning that he seems to be homophobic, based on his reactions to come-ons from Homestar and Brian (brianrietta). Don't you think this is worth mentioning?

Homophobic means that you are generally afraid of gays or are afraid of becoming gay.

This was reverted by Qermaq with the comment "I dunno. It's highly subjective, plus the animation demands make this kinda likely". I want to argue this, and the talk page is a better place to do it than edit summaries. 
I don't see how that is highly subjective. Maybe a little subjective. It's pretty obvious in [[The Cheat Theme Song]], and Main Page 23. He doesn't move his head from side to side at all from the front, but he does it a lot from the back. 
And I do know why it was done, but I just thought it was interesting. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 02:14, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

:No. Part of his eye can still be seen. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 04:25, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

could it be added that SB, at some point, slept in "[[oh, I dunno, long V-neck undershirt with a pair of questionable tighty-whities underneath]]" be added to this article, like as a fun fact? -Shaggy

Shouldn't this be merged with [[Minor Foods]]? {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 16:57, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
:I wouldn't think so. [[ Fluffy Puff Bite-Size Nibblers ]] should be a Minor Food then too.--[[User:Onestop|ONESTOP]][[Image:bowler derby.PNG|20px]] 17:06, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
::Nah, this page is fine; Fluffy Puff Translucent Dessert Related Substance plays a major enough role in the toon to warrant an article. The only food articles I'd argue against having separate articles for are ones that're essentially made "important" solely because there's a minor Easter egg attached to them. Even worse are ones that're just in the background, with not even a *mention*... though there's only one of those, I think. -{{User:YK/sig}} 01:33, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
I agree with YK. This page doesn't seem very well written though...--[[User:Trinculoid|Trinculoid]] 02:00, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Why not create a page for all products made by Fluffy Puff? -Shaggy
:I'm surprised we don't have a [[Fluffy Puff Products]] page. If you told me we did, I'd believe you. It feels like something we'd have. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:38, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
:About this page: Keep it. Important and a major part of the toon. About Fluffy Puff products: I'd go with a gallery in the Fluffy Puff page with links to every product. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 20:11, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
::If we keep it, it needs to be rewritten to be more about the product than the email it appears in. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 20:12, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
