Two Scud costumes?

How significant is it that two characters dressed up as characters from the same kinda-obscure comic book? --Jay (Talk) 05:15, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't say that significant. The complete graphic novel came out during the summer, so it just might be their way of pay homage to an unknown comic.

Yes, but with two characters from the same source in the same toon? That's significant to me, and I really don't recall something like it happening before.

I think any significance is going to be obvious once people see the costume page. I'm not averse to it being noted, just don't see a great need. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  19:04, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

I'll say this much: The person who removed it said that it had "arguably" happened before, but I don't recall any such thing. --Jay (Talk) 19:09, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Life the Universe and Everything

We should maybe mention the answer strong sad was looking for. 41 or something.

42. I've hardly read the books and I know that. --Jay (Talk) 06:00, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

You need to check your humor-meter, Jay.

What? I was correcting the incorrect answer of 41. If there was an inside joke in misremembering the answer, did you miss the part about me having hardly read the books? It wasn't particularly funny otherwise. --Jay (Talk) 07:01, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Sarcasm doesn't translate into text very well. If you frequent the internet, I'd be surprised if you didn't know the answer to life, the universe and everything. Stribbs 14:03, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

How green was my planet

The planet's name may or may not be "Greenguy". That is, apparently it didn't have a name when it was just a book cover, but when it became a common website image it took the name from its filename, greenguy.gif. Of course, the cartoon doesn't mention the name, so perhaps it doesn't matter anyway. ¡ɯooz + 07:36, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Strong Mad's Thwomp Actions merit mention?

Should it be added in Real World References that Strong Mad forcefully stomping the ground when he talked relates to his costume? I'd say that's why he did it. Or is it too fleeting and unimportant for a mention? GillanTheVillain 14:28, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

I say it should be put it, because it's an obvious refference, it's silly to leave it out. MJN SEIFER 20:38, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Whatchamacallit

Whatchamacallit is another kind of candy bar. I'd come up with some proper addition to the page for it myself, but I have Halloweening to do. Xerzes 15:56, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Teeth or leaves?

I don't think the shot of Homestar and Pom Pom from a distance was inside the carnivorous undead sheep's mouth. It looked more like the sheep was behind a bush or something. --Charlie Jr. 16:33, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Marzipan's Costume

I don't know if this should be under Remarks or Goofs, but Homestar incorrectly mentioned to Marzipan that she "keeps dressing up as dudes" when it has only happened for five Halloween toons including this one (Joey Ramone - 2001, Beaker - 2004, Willie Nelson - 2005, and Prince - 2007). I know that this is only just the majority gender and all, but do you think it should get noted on the toon's page? Rexy 17:39, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Put it in Remarks. — MichaelXX2 20:42, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm confused what you mean, Rexy. That she "keeps dressing up as dudes" doesn't mean she always does, and 5/9 times is fairly significant. --Jay (Talk) 20:46, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Ghost in the Graveyard?

Title a reference to that kids tag-variant, perhaps?

Something doesn't add up...

It's starting to be a running gag thing where, in the teaser, Strong Bad has an awesome costume and turns out to have one nothing like it in the real toon. But, in Jibblies 2, someone (I think it was Strong Sad) pointed this out in the toon at the end. That didn't happen this time. That doesn't make sense to me... SuperfieldCreditUnion

Hmm. In Happy Hallow-Day, Homestar starts the toon in "not his real costume" and in Jibblies 2 Strong Bad had a differently-shaped costume in the prior teaser toon. I don't think it's happened either way before, not that I recall anyway. I think you're presuming they're the same gag, when they really aren't, i don't think. Anyway, there's not required to use all their funny bits every year: wiches brew got some time off. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  19:00, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, again, in Happy Hallow-Day and Jibblies 2, someone points out the different costume thing. Homestar announces that it isn't his Halloween costume and Coach Z (not Strong Sad, like I earlier thought) mentions that he thought Strong Bad was going to be the alien, referring to the trailer. However, this time, there's not even a hint as to the switch. It just feels like there's something missing there; it's not like TBC to just leave it without an explanation/referral.

Sheep's Revenge

it occurs to me, could the undead sheep be at all connected to The King of Town DVD? after all, the KoWT was a sheep eater, and his backyard graveyard is inhabited by an undead carnivorous sheep... thoughts? --Zatchman (Neumannz) 19:12, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

I actually wondered the same thing when I first saw the toon, but I think it can only be considered speculation on our part, as the KOT vaguely mentions its origins as an experiment. If there was no explanation in the toon, I'd probably be more inclined to think that there's a connection with the King of Town DVD. NoMayonnaise

I couldn't do it... for very long...

Strong Sad's inability to hold his breath is a reference to Halloween Fairstival. 173.32.221.240 20:20, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

It's Possible, that's the first thing that came to my mind. — MichaelXX2 20:30, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

really? i thought it was more of a "strong sad's ridiculously out of shape/having asthma issues again"-type deal --Zatchman (Neumannz) 20:51, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Graves

I think there should be a page of the graves from this cartoon. Zwendel

Happy Carousel of Progress

Is it worth noting that part of the Carousel (the 1940s scene) takes place during Halloween? BBG 20:44, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Backyardiganz

Although, the Gravediggaz(?) rap group, seems more appropriate, as it was a Coach Z scene, I actually think that (as someone already said) it was also a Backyardigans refference, I have left the rap group thing in, because I agree with it aswell, It is not impossible to refference 2 things at once.

1. Backyardigans sounds like Graveyeardiganz more than Gravediggaz or whatever) does.

2. Backyardigans is a music based series.

3. There has already been a Yo Gabba Gabba refference in this episode, proving that TBC are (thankfully) not afraid to refference shows primarilly aimed at children. (I actually watch Backyardigans from time to time - not too keen on YGG though) Also note that both shows are on Nick Jr. MJN SEIFER 21:03, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Candy bars

Does it need to be mentioned in "Real World References" that 100 Grand is also a candy bar? Just wondered, since you mentioned Watchamacallits. --Wordmama 22:39, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
