I--um--I was a little surprised not to find controversial comparisons to other movies/tv shows/etc. that have used the "regret what I said, must switch the answering machine tape" plot line. I can't think of any at the moment other than [http://www.stanthecaddy.com/the-phone-message-script.html that Seinfeld one]. This is exactly the sort of inane debate I'd hate to start, but--is it possible that's the only such plot, making this a fairly likely reference? --[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 06:06, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC) | I--um--I was a little surprised not to find controversial comparisons to other movies/tv shows/etc. that have used the "regret what I said, must switch the answering machine tape" plot line.

:Actually, I didn't think of that until you just said it (and I call myself the big Seinfeld expert)... But I think the similarities are there. We've referenced Seinfeld in past [[Bug in Mouth Disease|cartoons]], and they seemed to be quite a bit more obscure. But I think you have the good point there. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] | :Actually, I didn't think of that until you just said it (and I call myself the big Seinfeld expert)...

Yiddish?
Is it just me, or is the name "Jorge" pronounced to sound Yiddish?
- Nope, "Jorge" is the Spanish alternative to "George".--TaranchulaVamp15
Sneaking
Do you guys think this explains why Strong Bad claimed he saw Coach Z come out Marzipan's house in the Yello Dello DVD? Or do you think Strong Bad was lying again? - T.C.
- It could just be two similar instances - Coach Z's just like that. --Jay (Talk) 06:37, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
- So does that mean you find this picture funny? - T.C. -->
"I assure you, I do not sneak over to your house!"
I'll bet Coach Z sneaks into her house all the time just to be in there and look around.
- I bet he "looks around". ;) --Technochocolate 23:31, 26 Aug 2005 (UTC)
Triplecast
seeing as how this came out the december before 2004, could it be said in the "real world references" that the "olympic triplecast" that strong bad reccomends is in refernce to the triple coverage found on NBC, CNBC, and MSNBC during the 2004 athens olympics? - i know. can you believe it?
Three steps
Is it me, or does Homestar take two steps when he walks into the camera, and we hear three?
