Secret Hot Date

Is there a connection between the "secret hot date" Cardboard Marzipan invited the Cheat on and the "hot date" they actually went on? Is the fact that there are fireworks in both of the cartoons relevant? — 75.85.125.208 (Talk | contribs) 22:58, 23 April 2007 (left unsigned)

Might even mention the end of do over in relation to this too. --DorianGray 06:53, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Also peculiar that Marzipan doesn't seem to mind The Cheat's small talk about two Ira's, after being annoyed by Homestar's two Sid's in date. 61.149.38.114 13:12, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Irony

Is it worth mentioning that Strong Bad proposes that they drown the Cheat and Marzipan, but in the end it is Homestar and Strong Bad who are drowned? — 75.85.125.208 (Talk | contribs) 22:58, 23 April 2007 (left unsigned)

That's along the lines of explaining the joke, something not normally done around here unless it's rather obscure. Also, please sign your talk page posts with four tildes (~~~~)— Bassbone (^{TALK CONT}) 07:20, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Public Rage-o flyer

The broken glasses could be a play off of the glasses Ira Glass wears. (They look quite similar) Anyone else think so? -Cappy Red 68.5.95.211 08:32, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I thought the same thing. Weird when you see radio people on TV. It's always like "I don't know what I would have expected him to look like, but it just ain't that." — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 08:58, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Yes, the first rule of thumb for all radio personalities is to look absolutely nothing like how they sound. =3 Trey56 08:59, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh yeah, forgot we'd already had a lesson on that. Glass actually comes close to what you'd (I'd) expect him to look like, but just not quite. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 09:11, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

8-Bit resemblence

i'm not suggesting anybody uses this, but does any one else notice any echoes of Black Mage from 8-bit theater in Strong Bad when he's discussing the drowning of Marzipan and the Cheat? especially the "Explain to me how drowning them wouldn't ruin their date" line. it's funny, but that's just me. --Neumannz

Heh, that is totally something BM would say. The makuta 13:47, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Mario

I obviously thought of Mario when Strong Bad said "Itsa me, the chef-a", but I don't know if it's really that clear. Danny Lilithborne 09:51, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Mario has a bad Italian accent too, yes. --DorianGray 09:53, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

One of Mario's catchphrases is "It's-a me! Mario!" I thought of Mario as well. —Shwoo 10:06, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Stereotypical Italian, probably. I thought it was Mario as well, but an Italian seems more practical. --TotalSpaceshipGirl3 10:25, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Another Reference to Coach Z thinking he's a woman

The curlers on Coach Z's head and the rolling pin he's holding seems to be another reference to Coach Z thinking he's a woman, the other being when he said he was a mom in an easter egg at the end of Sbemail #129 Garage Sale.

Going down with the ship

Is the fact that Homestar and Strong Bad are singing the national anthem as their 'ship' goes down a reference to anything? It seems familiar to me, but I don't know where from... ^Kah_teh 11:20, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

I thought of Titanic when I first saw it. The orchestra on the ship continued playing as the ship was sinking. — Has Matt? (talk) 11:27, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

I thought of that Looney Toons with Nero and Yosemite Sam as a Roman centurion and the pillar slowly falling while Nero plays Taps on a violin. Maybe something like that inspired them. Uhuh huh. Thankyaveramuch. 12:39, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Rockets

In the inside references section it mentions the part in SBIIJC where the bang was all that was needed. Wouldn't the fathoom be necessary in this case, considering without it Homestar and Strong Bad would just blow up? Elvis 12:36, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Yea, I noticed the same thing. From what I can tell, they want the fathoom so that they fire towards Marzipan and The Cheat. I'm changing it. The makuta 13:59, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Fundraising weeks

How many local NPR stations are having their drives this week? I know it is in Jacksonville, FL.
