Talk:Kick-A-Ball

From Homestar Runner Wiki

I guess living in Hawaii means I'm the only one awake. :-P Anyway, I don't really know the procedures and protocols for the transcripting and the placenaming and characterlisting, so I'll stay out of that. And I don't have a forum account, so I won't post a thread there, I guess. But I started this off. Grumblebaker 03:28, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

That's good to know. But it doesn't need to go here, sorry. — MichaelXX2 03:34, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Rapid blinking

Right after Homestar says Strong Bad "has to be quicker next time" he begins blinking at a very excessive rate. What do you think? a goof?

Carti-what Bode-what

well, trying to figure out the devil the couplets are called, and wondering: bodélé depression is a place in the sahara desert (depression?) and cartier is a what? (although there is a alain chartier who was a french poet) thoughts or alternatives? --Neumannz 06:28, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

The name Bodélé doesn't seem to exist outside of that obscure Sahara Desert reference. By contrast, Bodelet, like Cartier, is a common French surname, and is a more likely spelling. -Lydia

Potato who?

What does one-potato-two-potato mean? I mean, does it mean something or did they just make it up? --Cass from Germany 09:59, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

It's a kind of counting-out game. --DorianGray 10:02, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Coincidence?

I think that the Sideways Stories From Wayside School reference is just a coincidence. I don't think they were referencing that at the time, I think it was just something odd homestar did.

You're right. I can't see any link between this toon and that (obscure?) childrens' book. Strong Bad did not lose because of his poor kicking ability. Strong Bad lost because Strong Sad caught the ball. There is no connection, apart from the fact that kickball features in both media. Stretch. – The Chort 12:44, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

There is a slight connection in that Ron's team consisted of only himself and Louis, versus a much larger team, but I agree that it's a stretch anyways. --DorianGray 13:41, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

weclome back

The music in this toon sounds like the music from Weclome Back. --Fangoriously 14:31, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

It's noted in the trivia section already. — Defender1031*Talk 16:15, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Title

Why does the title card say "Kick-a Ball!" if the Toons menu says "Kick-A-Ball"? -132.183.151.140 17:32, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Bubs

Does Bubs look a little different to anyone else? I think it's something with his eyes.--Thy Not Dennis (^t/_c) 18:44, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

You can also see the bottom line of a mouth at one point. - Guy in a Box Guy in a Box 20:58, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
