wow. i do not think i haved ever seen something so stupid. delete this garbage. Seriously 11:51, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- I think it's a good idea, but you'd need to find at least three or four instances to warrant a page about such a "Nondescript Subject". ⇔Thunderbird⇔ 23:51, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, Seriously. I think you can be a bit more polite than that. — Has Matt? (talk) 23:52, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
- Unluckily, I have to agree with deleting it. It doesn't really help the wiki in Homestar information. Bluebry muffin 14:10, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah. This is the Homestar Runner Wiki. If we wanted to list so much about grammar, we might as well create a separate wiki. ♥ teeeffoh! 22:19, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
- Geez, what's with all the rudeness on this page? Anyway, I agree with Thunderbird; this is an interesting idea and it will work eventually, but I think it needs to happen more often before it gets a page. -Unknownwarrior33 03:32, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
- Okay-I made this page, and would probably not care if it was deleted, but you don't have to go out with rudeness and horrible grammar/spelling/capitization. —Einstein runner ()
- Me again. Someone edited the page and made one heck of a lot better. Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you! —Einstein runner ()

Actually "Over There" is also gag on "Over Gatlinburg."

Reinforcements
There's the Cheat Commando "Reinforcements". Does that qualify?
- Yes. I added it, as he acts as reinforcements, but has no specific name. Retromaniac 16:46, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
- Does anyone recall why it was removed? Bad Bad Guy 22:55, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yes. I added it, as he acts as reinforcements, but has no specific name. Retromaniac 16:46, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Other Possible Examples
A few more suggestions for Nondescript Nouns: In dullard, Homestar mentions "Popular Reality Show", and in other days he brags about his frag-count in "Online Gaming". Andyroid 01:31, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, I noticed that...Interesting thought. I'll put it up (with credit to you). —Einstein runner () 22:09, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Good page, common joke
but...it needs a better title. May I throw out a few suggestions: "Nonspecific Nouns" would better cover the instances of common nouns being used as proper nouns, but the other "errors" (misused countable/uncountable nouns, lack of determiners/prepositions/etc...) aren't really covered there. Perhaps "Misused Common Nouns" or something like that. Just shooting for accuracy here.

Songs?
What about songs with uber-generic titles? Like Secret Song and The Hold Music? --Jay (Talk) 00:37, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
- Perhaps, but what else would the title be? --Jay (Talk) 01:03, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
- We don't know. "The Powers Of French Bread?" "After I Wash My Toes?" "With A Little Blob Of Mayo?" They're all possible, eh? - Qermaq - (T/C) 01:13, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
- That's a little non-sequitur-ish, even for Homestar. I mean, how many H*R songs with known titles don't actually have the title or a derivative thereof in the lyrics? Only one I can think of offhand is rock opera. --Jay (Talk) 01:17, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Homestar/Waiter
I think Date Nite should be listed either here or in Jumbled Words, but not both. It can't be an instance of two running gags at once--either Homestar meant to say his name was "Waiter" because he couldn't think of a better fake name, or he meant to say "My name is Homestar and I will be your waiter" but got confused and jumbled it around. What do y'all think? So makey outy 17:50, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
Band Name
When I watched the toon, I thought those boys were asking people to help them write a band name, not conversing about a band called "band name." Does anyone agree with me or is it gonna stay? Bad Bad Guy 22:51, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- It's going to stay. --DorianGray 23:38, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Falling Asleep on the Couch Watching Football Bowl
I fail to find what is nondescript about that title, but does anyone still want me to return it? Please say why. Bad Bad Guy 15:57, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- It still sounds rather generic. --Trogga 19:56, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
- Would you agree with me that it's not as vague as "place" or "a sport"? Bad Bad Guy 21:02, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- Could someone explain to me how it is generic? Bad Bad Guy 04:42, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
