Our standards for inclusion say that for something to be a running joke, it needs to be used in an unusual manner at least three times. Pretty much every use of the word "eternity" is perfectly normal, with the possible exception of Homestar not really understanding how eternity works in jibblies. Therefore, I would argue that this page does not meet our inclusion guidelines and should therefore be a-diggity-deleted. — Defender1031*Talk 05:42, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Normal use for the word eternity is debatable. Since it's an unmeasurable amount of time, you could argue that its uses in 3THFj and SBtF are abnormal hyperbolizations and/or sarcasm. However, I can agree that it's far too lacking in references to warrant a page. -Catjaz63 06:08, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
I think that's what I was going for. 3x Halloween Funjob wasn't the last interaction between the King of Town and Strong Bad, and I don't think it's practical to say "ruler for eternity" and actually mean it. I'm pretty sure I was just trying to collect times when they chose to use the word "eternity" to express a hyperbole, which I thought was interesting.
