Dialogue questions

Does anyone has an opinion of the dialogue might be in the following lines?

STRONG BAD: {singing} It's an email, baby. (HERE)

BUBSAMECIUM: Certainly! Six tubes (HERE) of coming right up!

HOMESTARMECIUM: Oh, (HERE). Um, these are for my twin brother!

EDIT: Just gotten word it may be Strongbadophage.

It would be great if anyone knew. — Lapper (talk) 05:34, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Here's one: I'd bet my important object that Bubsamecium is saying "rear-end cream". --DorianGray

The "Bubsamecium" line sounds like "rear-end cream" to me. Provided the "(HERE)" was put in the right spot up there. Also, I think Baby Strong Sad said "Diapersmith" (as it's the baby Poopsmith and all...) -YK 05:40, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Ditto that, YK. I'd further like to add that I think that the Strong Bad virus-looking thing is called "Strongbadophage". That's what I put on Twin Characters. I had to watch it several times to figure that out. --DorianGray

Absolutely no clue what the word after "It's an e-mail, baby!" is, though. Sounds like "lunge juice"... that can't be right. -YK 05:44, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Sounds like "love juice" to me... Or "lunch juice". Which are just as weird. --DorianGray

I heard "lunch juice" and thought I was nuts until I saw you guys had similar things. -- Tom 05:52, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Sigh—I feel a long and uncivil STUFF (or at least Talk battle) coming on. Currently the article reads "And the email baby loves juice". While this comes the closest to making any sense, it's just not what I hear. My hearing (though I don't assert it as the only possible one) is "It's a e-mail, baby! lunch juice." —AbdiViklas 15:42, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Here's another: On first viewing, I heard Baby Strong Bad's line as "I'm pretending I'm playing violent video games!" What's in the article is "better video games"; on closer listening it does sound like that, but is pretty difficult to make out anyway. It could be "vinyl" as far as we can tell! So: "violent" certainly makes more sense. But is it simply for that reason (contextual suggestion) that I "heard" it? —AbdiViklas 16:02, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

I heard better on multiple viewings Username-talk 16:17, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Continuity

This could probably go without saying, but I think we need to consider all of the flashbacks from this toon (and probably the one from flashback, too) to be apocryphal. They just don't jive with established continuity. I think stand-up probably actually happened in their timeline, as well as The Secrets That I Keep. — It's dot com 05:45, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

I'll second that... Especially the paramecium bits. ;) --DorianGray

Indeed. -- Tom 05:55, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Hey, Strong Bad even *admits* here that he has a "very unphotographic memory". As if his flashback lies weren't obvious before, they are *now*. =P (BTW, is it just me, or does the "paramecium Homestar" resemble the Poopsmith more than Homestar? Weird misshapen eyes, odd mouth shape, few messy hairs... probably coincidence, but weird.) -YK 05:58, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

I say it's comparible to the movie Big Fish, where real events are skewed and altered to make a more interesting story. TheRealZajac

Guy above me- leave your signature, please. Just type four ~'s. {edit:signed for} As for continuity, It's a comedy. I really don't ever remember seeing a comedy that had continuity. Sometimes the lack of continuity adds to the humor, although I wouldn't necessarily say it does for this. Maybe. Continuity is usually only important in serious plot drama and such. Agentjs03 13:40, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

There are lots of comedies that pay careful attention to continuity. Scrubs, for example. And TBC in general keep it pretty consistent. — It's dot com 18:50, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Small question...

• Would it be of consequence to mention that this is the shortest Lappy 486 email so far? -- Frickinsellout 07:08, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
• it is? woah! Seriously 20:13, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Stampers!

I definitely hear an 's' in front of Marzipan's "dampers!" Does anyone else?Trelawney 08:28, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Me too. I heard "scampers" more clearly than "dampers". It could have been "stampers". TaranchulaVamp15 12:35, 9 Jan 2006 (CST)

Accent on striped

Shouldn't the accent over the e in striped go upper-left to lower-right (the french accent grave)?

Wikipedia:Grave accent#Use in English suggests yes, although Wikipedia:Acute accent#Use in English seems contradictory. But my gut sides with you, IP. Changed accordingly. —AbdiViklas 15:10, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Are we doing the same thing with "Stripe-ed Green Rabbit with Two Butts" for New Boots? —  KieferSkunk (talk) — 20:07, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, we should totally use striped with accent on both articles. —BazookaJoe 20:10, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Sickly Sam Pillar

In the Easter egg at the end, when Sickly Sam coughs/wheezes and disappears, and the pillar appears in his place... Could this be a reference to something? Isn't there some sort of myth where people were turned into salt pillars? -Polly 17:24, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

There's the story of Lot's wife in the Bible, but I doubt there's a connection to this. EASports

I'd be willing to give it a little consideration as a reference, but it would be a loose one at best, and I doubt it would survive a STUFF process. --ISlayedTheKerrek 17:59, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

I admit it occurred to me as well, but I don't think there's a real reference here. — It's dot com 18:47, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

That entire scene makes no sense whatsoever. :P —  KieferSkunk (talk) — 20:11, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Marz-lody

Did anyone else see a resemblance to Melody from Mellow Mushroom in Marzipan's high school self? TaranchulaVamp15 12:40, 9 Jan 2006 (CST)

Adventure

If Strong Bad was referring to the Atari Dragon, and it ate two of his pixels, he was probably playing Adventure, and the second pixel was probably the black dot that activated the easter egg.

That sounds logical to me... Also, isn't that sound effect an Adventure noise? I can't quite place it, although I know I've heard it before... --DorianGray
