Song lyrics

Since this is a song, I think the transcript should show the lyrics in lyric style, like they've been done on other pages. How is that done, exactly? And how do we handle the visuals separately from the lyrics? (Or do we?) —  KieferSkunk (talk) — 23:38, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Hmm... I'd say do the lyrics like:

Poo-ha ha ha ha

Poo ha ha ha ha ha ha

Or however it goes, and then

Poo-ha ha ha ha

{Cut to Bluebry's house}

Poo ha ha ha ha ha ha

You know, something like that maybe. But, there's probably some standard I'm overlooking. Bluebry 23:40, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

For most songs, we write them like this:

Well you're a rich kid, living in the suburbs
and there's not a whole lot to do.
You're strolling to the kitchen and what do you find?
A bunch of knives cold staring at you.

And the visuals are separate. That's really how this one should have been transcribed. --Jay (Talk) 02:05, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Which I've just done... I agree, it does read a lot easier that way. --phlip ^T_C 12:28, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Humans! Ahhh!

Should we mention that this is the first time the Brothers Chaps animated a human? This is the first time we get to see Mike's skill as a real life artist! (ha ha ha.) --~Rose 23:53, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

We see his real life skillz all the time! Anyway, don't forget best thing. Loafing 23:56, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Hmm... well... It sorta counts. But that was supposed to be done in a different style, like some other guy drew it. And this is more realistic. (again, ha ha ha.)--~Rose 00:17, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Don't forget for kids. That one was fairly realistic. 71.231.56.40 00:23, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't think this is the first. Remember the guy from the Senor Cardgage commercials? The middle aged guy? And remember the girl from the PBTC segment in Strong Badathon? Spyrox6 00:50, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I think this is worth a mention, in that it's the first time a musician-type guy has been animated (outside of TGS). All the other guys have been live-action: Limozeen, Tarantula... I will admit that Limozeen was animated in best thing, but that was the point and the "real" Limozeen was still live action. I'm pretty sure that Crack is the first in this category to have his "real" version animated. - Point7Q 01:02, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

But how do you know this was the "real" version of Crack Stuntman? Maybe it was an animated rap video.  : ) 65.26.154.192 01:24, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Technically, this is the first time TBC animated an actual human. best thing had cartoons in it. This is fairly realistic. And I'm pretty sure the real Crack Stuntman stood up in this episode. Strong Devon 01:36, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Regardless of whatever sort of convoluted way you guys make this a breakthrough, I don't think it deserves a mention on the page. - Joshua 01:57, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I think it does. It really is the first time a human has been animated. Oh well, whatever -- Abelhawk 02:06, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Excluding Limozeen, Balding Man, the Videlectrix Guy, Don Knotts, Teen Girl Squad, or Kid Speedy... some more than others. - Joshua 02:15, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

When I first saw it, I thought it was notable, but now I agree with Joshua. It's like an internal TTATOT.--Bobo the King 03:59, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Can we call it the first realistic 3-D animation of a human? TGS had a 3D episode, but it was stick figure 3D. csours 11:05, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

In what way are either 3D? - Point7Q 11:21, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

The animation on Crack Stuntman isn't really much more realistic than Limozeen-in-space... the only remotely 3D part of Crack's animation was him nodding his head in the "LOUD BASS" bit, and that was done with the same techniques they've done for years to make Strong Bad's head turn from side to side... --phlip ^T_C 12:09, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

TBC do humans pretty often. Crack Stuntman was probably meant to be a cartoon, like Limozeen and TGS. Not really notable. -- Nevadie 12:13, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I think it's the first human that isn't based on one of the Chaps, and isn't the guy from the Senor Mortgage commercial.

Just Wonderin'

About what time did this toon come out, eastern time? Homestar-winner 00:43, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I watched it shortly after 6:30 PM, and the first edits here are about then. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  08:58, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

First mention

I noticed something. If the "Poo-ha-he-ha-he" is supposed to be Crack Stuntman laughing to the word "Poo", then wouldn't that be the first mention of the word "Poo" (aside from the Poopsmith)? All I remember is everyone either saying "Crap" or "Whatzit". Spyrox6 01:04, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

"Poo-ha-hoo-ha-hoo" (or whatever) is just him imitating the sound of drums, not laughing at the word poo.-- Nevadie 04:17, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Im laughing at it. I think its making fun of fake white rappers that try too hard, getting the words wrong. csours 11:07, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Beats

Doesn't this sound sort of like that rap (I think it's Puff Daddy or P.Diddy or whatever) Losing My Head? Or is it just me?--CertifiedArborist 01:55, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Heh, I can't imagine any two raps sounding the same :P -- Abelhawk 02:06, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Break

The way he says "break" sounds like a specific Cheat Commandos cartoon. Retromaniac 02:10, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, it could be in Let Us Give TANKS!, when Gunhaver says "Thanksgiving break." I'm sure this is a complete and utter coincidence, though.-- Nevadie 12:11, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Cheap Commandos?

When Crack is introducing himself, it also sounds like he says "Cheap" (Or Chief) Commandos. Yes/No/Maybe? --Jrgilby 02:47, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Email Styles

I really think the line "Kidz don't play wit' 2 many knives, c'mon, c'mon" sounds almost identical to Strong Bad's "Can you see that I've got e-mail styles, c'mon, c'mon" from senior prom. Somebody agree with me on this one!-- Nevadie 04:21, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I was just thinking that, but it's probably a coincidence. —Shwoo 09:08, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Clout?

Whassa clout mean? D'AAAAAAAAMM A CODFISH!

http://m-w.com/dictionary/clout – see definition 4 in particular. --phlip ^T_C 11:20, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
