Talk:Interrupted Conversations

From Homestar Runner Wiki

It seems to me like this page is all about when a character walks on the screen and other characters' conversations end. I just think this page has no value, no offense to its editor. Bluebry 15:20, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Seems like an ok page to me. Let's see how much it gwors first. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 15:27, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

The name is confusing, I thought it was about conversations that are actually interrupted by something, and my first thought was "delete this now..." but actually reading it reveals it's actually about times where we only catch the tail-end of a conversation. I vote build it up a bit, and move it to a better name. Maybe Half-missed conversations? --phlip ^T_C 17:17, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

I dunno, it seems like a collection of conversation ending lines to me. I mean, a character walks into a place where two other characters are conversing. Do we need to write down those lines on two pages (the toon page and a serperate page)? I don't think so. We really don't need to catalogue every conversation ender.

I think this is an interesting topic, personally. It could use some serious work, though. —  KieferSkunk (talk) — 23:46, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

If any of you guys have the DVD collection, TBC did comment on this subject in crying. So maybe it is okay to keep it. -CoachD

I think if we actually got some interrupted conversations, like in bottom 10 when SB is about to say what number 1 is and then gets interrupted by Homestar, then we could actually get this article rolling. Otherwise, we should clean it up and move it to a different name. · · T²|_Things 16:46, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

I think this page is fairly interesting, at least compared to some I've seen lately. Only, as it stands, the current picture has nothing to do with the article. -YK 01:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

I say change the focus solely to conversations where we missed the beginning and/or context, and then rename it. - Joshua 02:22, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

I completely agree. This page is a bit too specific; a more open sort of page name (and content) would help greatly. I think the page has massive potential; it just needs to change its goal around a bit. — Seriously ^(Talk) 22:47, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

The scope of the page

The heading implies that it only refers to conversations that the watcher only hears the last part of, but then describes truly interrupted conversations that don't fit the pattern. Which is it? I think it should be restricted only to the former, as the latter doesn't strike me as particularly running-gag-ish. --Jay (Gobble) 20:20, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, that's how it should be. Things like "Yeah, you stay over there!" are exactly what we're looking for, but Homestar interrupting Strong Bad's bottom 10 aren't. I'm going to go ahead and do a little cleanup here. Heimstern Läufer 20:25, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah. A page about nonsensical conversation that we hear the tail end of is marginally useful; a page listing every dang time somebody gets interrupted isn't. —AbdiViklas 21:15, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

If we are changing the name the article, How about, "Partial Convertions" --Dacheatbot · Communicate 21:32, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

As opposed to "Partial Conversions." "I'm half saved! Glory halle-! Praise the Lo-!" Okay, I'll be good now. —AbdiViklas 21:44, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Err... this article still needs some severe pruning to go by these standards. Time to delete stuff? - Joshua 02:08, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Hmm. Some conversations we do get the start of, but not the end of, are running gaggish - "Reg at the top of the tee" strikes me as one - so I would be careful how lines are drawn. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  02:42, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Reg and the Top o' the Key

Does this really have a place here? This is more or less a list of "Interrupted Conversations" that we never find out the subject of. Coach Z's reference to Reg is more like a flashback to Strong Bad's autobiography. We already know what happened when Reg had the ball at the top o' the key...Strong Bad was like "I'm open, I'm open!" but someone must slipped Reg some drugs or something before the game because he didn't see him and he passed it to the Deke instead and the Deke SLAM DUNKED IT!!! Ohhhh

So...you see my point... ~ Shadix

...List?

I don't feel this page is a list. It's just the appearances of a running gag. Bluebry 20:37, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Transfer

I strongly suggest we merge this article with Interrupted Conversations. To begin with, the title "Narrated Interruption" does not actually match the appearances listed. Phones and buzzers are not narrators. A more appropriate title would be Interrupted Monologues, which would fit perfectly into Interrupted Conversations. Loafing 20:26, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. The buzzer and the answering machine is just time running out. If you using a recording device that has 10 seconds, and you try to record a 12 second message, you will be interupted. Nothing special with these. I R F 20:53, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Agree. Merge it. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 11:54, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Agree. Retromaniac 22:04, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree. It would also unorphan this page. EdgeMaster025

I concur. Bluebry 20:32, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Where The Crap Are We

Not really a conversation, but I think that the begining of Where the Crap Are We? belongs somewhere around here. -- DongleGoblin 02:13, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
