cheat talk

Okay, I noticed that this transcript seems to take a bit of liberty in assuming what The Cheat says. I was under the impression we never did this. Any comments? -- Tom 12:39, 28 Jan 2005 (MST)

fun facts - real world references

I'm almost positive the animation of The Cheat dancing on Homestarrunner's face is a reference to Snoopy dancing on Shroeder's piano in the old Peanuts specials. If you go to this page http://www.whatacharacter.com/p-s/s--page1.htm and look at the pic of Snoopy dancing (on the box) you'll see what I mean. -Amar

It hadn't occured to me but i would agree with that. -Grover Junior

I see the similarity of movement, but I don't think that's enough to get it mentioned as a reference. If you disagree please revive this discussion. —AbdiViklas 23:19, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

The hot soup reference that you all keep deleting is DEFINITELY a reference to Oz. Look it up at the links I have provided. This is a legitiate reference and should be maintaned, not just deleted arbitrarially because BazookaJoe (age 17) hasn't seen the R-Rated show.

I haven't seen the show either. And I don't think The Brothers Chaps are making a reference to a particular instance of prison violence that appeared on a particular television episode of a particular television show. -- Tom 02:47, 13 Sep 2005 (UTC)

hip hop dance

shouldn't hip hop dance be on this page, not a seperate one?

No single guy

On the one hand, I agree with Mr. IP that the fact is a bit wordy on a subject that has little to do with H*R. On the other hand, I recognize that the point is that SB implies that just one person writes the Lockhorns when that's not the case. Thoughts? --Jay (Talk) 23:08, 5 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Interestingly, The Lockhorns has actually been authored by three different people over the years.
That's shorter and gets the point across. What does everybody else think? Username-talk 23:16, 5 Jul 2005 (UTC)

STUFF it and provide the revision. I like it, and I don't think the FF in question's that bad, so it shouldn't have too much trouble making it through STUFF. --Shadow Hog 00:51, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

This particular fun fact has been in this article for over fifteen months with the current (or very similar) wording. Thousands of others have not had a problem with it. It clearly supplies detailed and accurate information about something that was in the toon. Why change it? -- Tom 03:07, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Strong Bad miniature's head

• Strong Bad's head in this cartoon is a picture of a Strong Bad minature's head.

Notice the spelling error. What is Strong Bad min(i)ature? Is there a link that could be provided? —BazookaJoe 19:54, 22 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I think they mean like, the figurine, probably. I mean, what other minatures are around? --— _talk Bubsty _edits 19:59, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's talking about the figurine. - Camalex(talk) 20:02, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Boots reverse during The Cheat's hip-hop dance

I'm surprised this wasn't mentioned in the Fun Facts for this cartoon: When The Cheat starts dancing on Homestar's face, his sprite (including the boots) flips horizontally, causing the dollar signs on the boots to appear backwards.

Actually, we decided not to note some similar precedents; e.g. every character's face essentially reverses its order when they turn their head around (see speculations about whether Homestar Runner and The Cheat have two eyes on one side of their head, a total of four eyes, movable eyes.... (sigh.) I don't feel strongly enough about it to take your fact down, but don't be hurt if someone does. —AbdiViklas 18:49, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

Actually, this one is okay to note, though. We generally note such things for Powered by The Cheat cartoons, as it's probably deliberate, as an example of bad Flash animation. --DorianGray

Fact-checking or backchecking?

I heard Strong Bad say "Did you do any backchecking before you turned this in?".Retromaniac 02:48, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

SB's Head

Shouldn't SB's figurine head be an inside reference. - Austio talk 05:38, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
