Also, Firebert's action figure isn't listed as an Inside Reference to [[action figure]], or as a fast-forward to [[Cheat Commandos]], just explained under Easter Eggs. Is there a non-redundant way to do this? --[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 04:18, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

| |
| - |
| |
| - | When Homestar says "Do you ''has'' what it takes...?" during his little recruitment speech (with particular emphasis on the "has"), I'd always thought that that was a Yellow Dellow reference. At one point in The Yellow Dellow, Homestar says "I think I has the solution!" This incorrect choice of words is mentioned by Strong Sad in the DVD commentary. I'd always heard Homestar's "Do you has what it takes...?" to be a reference to that (replacing "have" with "has").--[[User:Rocketlex|Rocketlex]] 08:37, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

| |

| |
| - | Wasn't there a line in ''Lord of the Rings'' that went something like "Gondor has no king and needs no king"? It was the first thing I thought of when I heard "Strongbadia has no army and needs no army". Please gimme some feedback as to the acceptability of this reference. [[User:16BitJorge|16BitJorge]] 00:25, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
| |
| - | :Actually, the line in this email is, "Does Strong Badia have an army? Strong Badia needs no army, Hankatola." So they're not similar enough to be a reference. Even if they were more similar, it would probably be too much of a stretch anyway. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 00:29, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

| |
| - | :Nah, it's definitely likely the way it already is: a reference to a line in a song by Gordon Lightfoot. And the skirt line is just a way of mocking Strong Bad's manliness to try and get him to change sides. An "If you're not with us, you're a girly-girl!" kind of thing. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:28, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

| - | == Little Albert ==
| |
| - |
| |
| - | In the commentary, Matt mentions that one of the commando names they came up with (but never used) was "Little Albert". Could this be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Little Albert experiment|this psychological experiment]]? I mean, there isn't any similarity other than the name, but as far as I know it's a pretty famous experiment, one that anyone who's taken a Psychology class would have heard of, and that's what I thought of when I read it. - [[User:Ingiald|Ingiald]] 16:11, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

| - | == Possible Real-World Reference ==
| |

| |
| - | It is not set in stone, but do you think it is possible that Homestar calling, The Cheat, a "Yellow Dog" may be a reference to the 1988 Chevy Chase film "Funny Farm"? In it his dog's name is "Yellow Dog".
| |
