Talk:Senor Mortgage
From Homestar Runner Wiki
You know, I think that this is just how Strong Bad imagines Senor Cardgage ending up. That would explain why he looks like Creepy Comb-over Strong Bad, and also why the Visor Robot is there, seeing as how the Visor Robot's only other appearances have been fictitious and have been created by Strong Bad and The Cheat(Strong Bad imagined him in Homestarloween Party, he drew him in Teen Girl Squad Issue 1, and The Cheat animated him in Everybody to the Limit.)
I think its awesome! there are so many cheesy mortgage compnaies, and now internet sites out there that promise everything. Check out Mortgage Lead Market I had a guy from there give me his schpiel yesterday! Keep the humor coming. It allows us to deal with it all...

Every welcome?
I'm pretty sure he says "You're EVER welcome, Valerie" not "You're EVERY welcome" →evin290 10:17, 19 Feb 2005 (MST)
Chick Fil-A?
I could have sworn he said "Cheap Fillet" or even Cheat Fillet.

Funny, I originally heard it as "The Cheat" or something. --TROGGA! 23:20, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
Navigation Bar?
"This 'toon is one of the last ones to have the old non-flash Navigation Bar."
It is? I wasn't able to access it. --Homsar999ß 19:10, 29 Apr 2005 (CDT)
- Access it? It's there. Perhaps you don't understand. The Brothers Chaps used to widely use JavaScript within the HTML of every page on the site to make the link for the Main Page random. You can see the script in the source code of the Senor Mortgage page. -- Tom 02:20, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Closed STUFF
Potential reference
The phone number 555-55-55855-55-5-SENOR-MORT-GAGE-TODAY could be a potential reference to a phone number in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which is 1-555-55-5-55555-555-5555.
- Decline. The whole point of the bit was to lampoon poorly made advertisments run in the middle of the day when few people are watching TV. These commercials typically end in some anoyingly catchy jingle that includes the toll- free phone number, which more often than not has the name of the business embedded among a series of repeating or sequential numbers. -- The Real Zajac 11:30, 2 May 2005 (PDT)

- Decline Agh! "Could be"! --acekirby13 20:33, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
- Second. If it's a could be, then it's not really a fun fact. It's just guessing. Ramrod 02:46, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
- The too long phone number gag is not exclusive to Hitchhikers. Decline Donny vs Universe
- Declined One is not a reference to the other. Both are a seperately reference to the fact that in old movies, phone numbers always started with 555- (since no area in the US at that time had that prefix). Another words, it's a coincidence. --phlip 12:42, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
- This fun fact is OVERRR!!! Seriously, "could-be's" are not cool. Rudeboy87 14:44, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

- TWO'nd!As much as I like H2G2, I have to disagree. TK600 23:06, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
- DECLINED! - T.C.
- 2nd'd! How thick can you get? "This is a potential reference to HG2G" was an example of a pathstic fun fact!!-Alice
- STRONG Accept unless someone can come up with another example (outside of HHG and Senor Mortgage) of a gag phone number with a ridiculous number of 5's in it. I'm pretty sure I never saw such a thing before Senor Mortgage. So I would say that this is very unlikely to be a coincidence. - Dingell
- Well I STRONGLY suspect that the reason there are a STRONG number of fives in the name is because there's STRONG evidence to point to the STRONG fact that fictional phone numbers have three STRONG "5"s in the name, and it's a STRONG inclination to just stick a bunch of "5"s if you want to be STRONGLY funny. STRONG DECLINE, so says STRONG BAD STRONG Dasrik 01:14, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
- Comment Actually, I remember when I was about 4 years old, there was a phon number on Sesame Street that was fives. Plus, I think this is just a goof on the long and hard to rememebr phone numbers companies give you (There's an 8 somewhere in the middle of Senor's) -- Ju Ju Master
- DENIAL: I was a writer on "The Bozo Show" on WGN-TV in the mid-1990's, and we used a joke that started "The number is 555-5555, and remember, the third number's a 3." --James Craven 1:11 AM ET May 13 2005
- Comment 555-5555 is a normal seven-digit phone number. Senor Mortgage's phone number is clearly exaggerated in length, which is the main part of the joke. Yes, 555-5555 and similar numbers are used all the time in media, but that's not all that's being referenced here. - Dingell
- Yes it is. Deal with it. Dasrik 23:40, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
- With that sort of reasoning on your side, how could one disagree? Of course, the length of the phone number isn't at all meant to be a joke... maybe Mike and Matt actually thought that phone numbers are 31 digits long. Or maybe one of them fell asleep at the keyboard with his finger on the "5" key. Those scenarios are about as likely as this reference NOT being true. - Dingell
- Well you're losing anyway, so who cares. Your logic amounts to a "could be" and everyone knows by now how I feel about those. Dasrik 20:49, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
- And you're being a jerk Dasrik. Anyway he's at least right that the length is a joke. But I would say it's not a reference to the number above ecause it's a different length, if it were the same length, then maybe. -- AnarchyBalsac
- Thanks, I agree. Let's end it on this. Dasrik 02:41, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

Microsoft sam
I think that the brothers chaps used the voice of microsoft sam as the voice, does anyone else think it's something else? 24.62.243.222 14:15, 6 Aug 2005 (UTC)
