Duplicate Strong Mads

This email is featured in the article duplicate characters, but a link to that article was deleted from this already. Should this email be removed from that article? BBG 23:58, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

If you ask me, I think we should keep it on both pages; bring the link back and keep it on the duplicated characters page. -Philip8o 00:04, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
I agree, there`s no solid evidence that it`s not 2 Strong Mads.-ThePizz
I disagree. There's no evidence that it's two Strong Mads. On the other hand, Strong Mad stayed up all night to build this hiding spot. So it's not two SM's it's only one and a hiding sport that he built which happens to look like him. It's not a duplicate character. Loafing 00:57, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
I disagree with your disagreement. Even if there aren't literally two Strong Mads, the fake is good enough to fool Strong Mad's own brother, who (despite being no genius) is usually depicted as one of the smarter H*R characters. And we get the visual effect of there being two Strong Mads at once. I say it IS twin characters. --Jay v.2024 (Auld lang syne) 03:04, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
It doesn't seem to be consensus to include those kind of instances. Wouldn't we also have to include Pumpkin Carve-nival on the duplicate characters list then? Loafing 03:08, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
I don't see why we shouldn't, now that you bring it up — but even then, it was revealed exactly who and what both the second Homestar and the second Strong Bad were, something untrue of the second Strong Mad here. --Jay v.2024 (Auld lang syne) 07:31, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
I find it hard to believe that TBC meant anything else when Strong Mad said he'd been up all night. But I don't feel that strongly about whether or not it's included anyway.  Green Helmet 13:15, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
To me, it seemed that Strong Mad had stayed up all night creating a cardboard cutout of his back or a lifestyle wax model of himself. However, Strong Mad clearly lacks the intellect and skills required to make such an item (without help). Remember his Box Computer, lotus flower and praying mantis? He might not be hiding behind a second real, breathing Strong Mad because it doesn't move at all... but it still is a really good duplication of Strong Mad. Maybe the solution is to broaden up the definition for Duplicate Characters to include these sort of instances? – The Chort 14:14, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
I wouldn't really say Occam's razor applies to a silly cartoon about dumb animal characters where Occam's razor has been dulled, bent, and thrown in the trash a million times in the past. Anyway, there IS a simpler explanation as to what Strong Mad did last night: he came up with the idea of where to hide. How did he implement it? Silly cartoon, dumb animal characters, you're overthinking it. --Jay v.2024 (Auld lang syne) 16:13, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Soap Box

OK. I've seen this appear and disappear from the Inside References, like, 3 times now. I think that we should link to the soap box page in the Inside References section. Yes, it is already linked to in the Transcript, but we can have both. And if not, we should at least be consistent and have all of the appearences of the soap box be linked in the same way. Right? -Philip8o

No  Green Helmet 00:18, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
I agree that it shouldn't be linked more than once, as that's not in accordance with the wiki guidelines. However, in other toons where the soapbox appeared, it was linked in the Inside References section, not in the transcript. I'll change it and see what happens. ~That Guy Over There (User talk:That Guy Over There) 00:31, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Chonking and junking

I interpreted the start of the email song as "Junk it", and so did Charlie Jr. for Strong Bad Email Intros. However, Super Martyo Brother put "Chonk it" in Subtitles:sbemail196/en, and now I'm not sure. It does sound a bit more like that, and "Junk it and check it" doesn't make a huge amount of sense, though there's a relationship between junk and wreck. Of course, "chonk" isn't a word, but you can get there by changing the middle sound in "check". Any thoughts?

I distinctly hear "junk." ~That Guy Over There (User talk:That Guy Over There) 01:28, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
I hear joke actually. Positively. OptimisticFool 02:36, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
I hear "choke it," with an odd amount of reverb at the start. And really, it sounds more like something I'd expect from Strong Bad.
Okay, yeah.. could be "choke" .. choke it and check it. Sounds like it, and it makes the most sense. OptimisticFool 16:41, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
No, there's a distinct N sound. I listened to it 5 times, i hear "junk" definitely. — Defender1031*Talk 16:47, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Sleepy Pee

The way it's written in the transcript makes no sense. If Strong Bad were to say "sleepy p-" as it says, he would just cut off at the beginning of the "puh" sound, but he clearly says "pee." Besides, seein' as how he was in the bathroom, I think it's pretty obvious that he was announcing his intention to urinate. Let's get a consensus on this. It's been changed back and forth a coupla times already. ~That Guy Over There (User talk:That Guy Over There) 01:33, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

He's obviously just woken up, he enters the bathroom, turns on the light and is heading directly towards the toilet. Maybe he keeps a peeler in there and wants it for his morning grapefruit? Or maybe he was just marveling aloud and how peacefully he slept? Umm... or not. Either way he obviously said pee and not p-.  Green Helmet 01:39, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
I personally agree with you. For one, he does say "pee", not "puh". Also, it's not like Homestar cut him off almost as soon as he said it. He has a good two seconds to say it. --Mario2.PNG Super Martyo boing! 01:41, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Scar's Hair

Is this really a note? He has the same hair as Moe from 3 Stooges? It's just a common buzz cut. I have that and I don't have any association with the Stooges. Not to mention it's on the wrong kid.

The fun fact doesn't refer to Scar's hair, it refer's to Moe's hair, which has the distinctive style of the Stooges star and is not a buzz cut at all. I think it is you, my friend, who has the wrong kid. ~That Guy Over There (User talk:That Guy Over There) 02:22, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
We need this reference. The hair style is the only thing that makes the kid a "Moe". It isn't just some kid. His name is Moe. And there aren't very many ways to show that someone is named something. He could have a name tag. But it is funnier this way. And thats the whole point to this cartoon...to be funny. -Philip8o
Exactly...I think. It helps you easily identify the characters (Scar=scar on face;Moe=bowl cut). DevonM(talk·cont-ribs) 04:36, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
Alright, it turns out I got my Stooges confused. I was thinking of Curley, and only saw some kind of black cap on the shorter kid's head. I didn't notice it was actually hair, it's rather hard to make out in the thumbnail. But yeah, mostly I just got two of the Stooges mixed up.
Should we STUFF it? -- Lazylaces Talk 17:44, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
No. We don't need STUFF anymore. Plain discussion is preferred. — Defender1031*Talk 17:45, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
Oh, sorry. This is what happens when i take a wikibreak. -- Lazylaces Talk 17:46, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Kick the Can

Kick the can is also a real life reference to the outdoor multi-player game Kick the Can. -- lelila (talk) 06:44, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Threestar Legger?

In a few frames, Homestar has three legs! Creepy... --AlmsforthePudgy 07:22, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Oh my crap, you're right! Added to the article. – The Chort 14:27, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Remote-controlled Lights

I don't think it's noteworthy that the lights came on by themselves when Strong Bad walks into the bathroom. I mean, anybody who's watching the toon can see that neither Strong Bad nor Homestar turned the lights on. Since it's visually apparent, I don't think it needs to be noted as a fun fact. ~That Guy Over There (User talk:That Guy Over There) 14:30, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

You're right. Not only is it a cartoon, but there is no need to explain the other weird things that happen in other toons (Homestar's arms, Homsar's hat ect.) The magic lights just add to the element of surprise. Oh, and everyone knows that Homestar has invisible arms and/or limited psychokinesis anyway. – The Chort 14:34, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Tied for Most Emails

As far as I can tell, the Lappy is now tied for the most emails with the Compy, with 77!!! I wonder if this will have any sort of impact on the next email, when it breaks the record?

Coins

Should it be noted that all the coins, while having different sizes, have the same head? -- Lazylaces Talk 17:16, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
