My comments
I'm 90% sure that's Heartbreaker, i listened to it twice to make sure, if this is true I would say that the 16 hour drumsolo is more of a reference to John Bonham's extensively long drum solos.
(What about Cheat Commandos?)
- I don't count that, myself.
This is the only Teen Girl Squad issue to date with no appearance of the man with the big mouth.
- What about Mrs. So-and-so-erson? --Jay 04:49, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
actually, i believe the Kissyboots song is supposed to be Communication Breakdown, but the last three notes are faster than the rest...
Three-necked guitar?
I'm no guitar expert (heck, I HATE all genres of popular music), so I used Google. The only picture of a three-necked guitar I found had the three necks parallel. Both Cheerleader's guitar and the Future Retro guitar have the necks non-parallel. In fact, the necks are arranged quite similarly. I would say that HSR (the nonesuch of Flash cartoons) has made a definite reference to Animusic (the nonesuch of music). mathgrant 12:24, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
- Uh-oh. Those are way too similar. Does that mean TBC made a reference to Steve Vai? KILL THEM! ANIMUSIC RULES! ALL OTHER MUSIC SUCKS! mathgrant 12:34, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
- Whoa, slow down there, hot tub. No need to foam at the mouth about this. --TheNintenGenius 15:34, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
"Inexplicably"?
- inexplicably drawn wearing a derby, sunglasses, a moustache, a tie, and smoking a cigar
That looked vaguely like a Blues Brothers reference to me. -- Cyrius 12:57, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
- You know, the Blues Brothers immediately sprang to mind (I'm from Chicago, after all), but neither of them had a moustache. I think it was just a general "I'm so cool" defacement from Strong Bad. -- FortyTwo 22:04, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
Like I said, it was kind of vague. It seems too close to be a coincidence and yet too far to be deliberate. -- Cyrius 23:24, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
About the Goofs section
- During Kissy Boots' first practice session, both What's Her Face and Cheerleader are playing basses, possibly Fender basses, judging from the arrangement of string keys.
It seems the 'goof' above is more of a (not so) fun fact rather than a mistake or goof. Can someone explain why there is a "goofs" section for a cartoon based a bunch of drawings supposedly from Strong Bad? I always considered goofs as something strictly associated with movies. That is, goofs are mistakes made during filming of a movie that aren't caught or fixed before the final version. --The Paper 15:29, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
- I didn't include the fact in question and did kinda wonder about its inclusion in the "Goofs" category. However, I did create the Fun Facts sub-categories, so I will defend the Goofs section in and of itself. A Goof is what happens when the Bros. Chaps make a mistake (not a Flash mistake, as that would be a Glitch, but a continuity or plot error). The above fact isn't really a "Goof", and I question that the twelve/twenty-sided die fact is a Goof (though it's closer), but yes, Goofs can and do happen in H*R cartoons. --Jay 15:37, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)
TGS Attends GGNU?
Was just wondering, since Strong Bad is the "prinicpal" of the school which the TGS attend, isn't it logical that they attend CGNU? --Gafaddict 23:48, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)
Interesting, but I would prefer a more concrete ref before making it cannon. They seem a bit young to be learning "Home Invasion." - Dr Haggis - Talk 16:54, 19 Jan 2005 (MST)
I would think that the CGNU plaque would be on the wall behind Strong Bad if it was. --Whaddaya Know Haddi-man? 16:11, 20 Jan 2005 (MST)
