Talk:X, I mean X, I mean X

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Do we really need this article? It seems a bit unnecessary to me and a poor running gag. And it doesn't make sense: Homestar was just being his usual confused self and Strong Bad didn't seem to be rebuking anything. He was emphasising his negative response. – The Chort 15:52, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

I like this article and am glad someone made it finally, (I myself was actually considering making it, but never got around to it). Seems as though the Brothers Chaps would use this running gag again. It just needs a different name and some rewording. kai lyn 15:55, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

But could this just be a coincidence? I'm not sure if this is relevant enough to merit an article. – The Chort 16:01, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

The Chort's quote: "Homestar was just being his usual confused self and Strong Bad didn't seem to be rebuking anything. He was emphasising his negative response." Neither of those things takes away the fact that this is indeed a running gag. Drippingyellowmadness ^talk 16:05, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

No, I don't think they're coincidences. I do agree with you, (The Chort) that they are not, however, related to one another, like the DNA Evidence examples (if I'm not being too speculative here). They're more like examples of times this happens, like "Why Come?" or "For Brains".

Instead of the intro as it is right now, (it uses the word "rebuke", which doesn't quite fit in the contexts of these appearances), say something else, like "There have been a few occasions where a character will preform a double take (or in the case of this running gag, a triple take) in his speech." Although "double take" isn't exactly a correct classification of these reactions either. kai lyn 16:06, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
