Another Instance

Arguments for:

• Running gags are always mentioned in the Fun Facts, in order to provide something with which to link to the Running Gag page. This INCLUDES every other instance of The Cheat's Head Exploding!
• The Cheat's head exploding is relatively uncommon, despite the implications in the second Argument Against below.
• The Cheat's exploding head has already been listed in the running jokes page of the HRWiki. It would make sense to add this to the Happy Fireworks page with a link to the running jokes section.

Arguments against:

• Noting the instance of an event when it is not the first one does not make a good fun fact.
• We don't note instances of common, repetitive things. For example, we don't consider it a running gag every time Strong Bad says "email" in his theme song; nor do we put "this is another instance of Strong Bad saying email in his starting song" in just about every email's fun facts.

Additional comments:

• Perhaps adding a Running Gags subsection to Fun Facts would please everyone?
  • A discussion on this subject is currently at HRWiki_talk:Standards.
