Decompiling

Can somebody decompile the flash file to see if there is anything actually hidden in the picture or when Strong Bad takes off his mask? It seems like something TBC might put into the flash as a "super secret easter egg". -AtionSong 21:56, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Way ahead of ya! --Echeese 22:00, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

We's already done. The picture is blank, and here's his face without the chair there: [1] (courtesy of The Mu). --DorianGray

Danube Largo?

I was going to say this is a reference to the Danube river, but then I realized it's probably also a parody of a real person's name. So I'm waiting to see if anyone else has dirt on this. Octan 22:03, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Leather

I'm thinking that the leather is not "Chairybdian" but is in fact "Corinthian" parodying Ricardo Montalbon and his rather (unintentionally) silly ads for Chrysler in the 80's. But maybe I'm just hearing things.

3 years pre-owned

This could just be me and my tendency to mishear things, but does it sound to anyone else like Bubs is saying it's a PRE-OWNED box of chicken beaks, rather than a 3-year-old box of chicken beaks? --Kiwi 17:54, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I hear it as 'pre-owned'. Cara Carabowditbowdit 23:11, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I also hear pre-owned. Salty^Talk! 01:16, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Buzzer sound

It's the same buzzer sound as the old "deleted" buzzer. "Remarks"? "Inside references"? Is it even wiki-worthy? Tbone762 23:38, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Nope. It's just a sound effect. You should list it there, though, if it's not already. — It's dot com 00:06, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

melon-chair

Is the stool supposed to be the same face as the cantelope he stole from Marzipan?

You mean Doreauxgard? I don't really think so. The chair doesn't bear much of a resmblance to him. Spyrox6

This is the one where Scratchy finally gets Itchy!

The way Strong Bad says he will never take off his mask again reminds me of a Simpsons episode where Scratchy finally gets the better of Itchy instead of vice versa in one of their episodes. The TV gets unplugged as Bart and Lisa are watching, and they end up missing it. When the TV gets plugged back in, Krusty says, "Wow! They'll never let us show that again, not in a million years!" — It's dot com 00:12, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

It does seem similar in a kinda this-is-not-a-referencey sort of way. :p --Jay (Talk) 00:26, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I saw that one as well, and I don't think there's a notable similarity at all. The "now that you can't see it, I'll finally reveal all the secrets" gag is an old one. Loafing 00:39, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Quite. Which is why I posted it here and not in the fun facts. — It's dot com 00:49, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Chickenella

Just wondering since I suspect it'd be removed or STUFFed: How notable is it that Strong Bad probably meant Salmonella, which is commonly associated with chicken, rather than the mammal-specific Anthrax? --Jay (Talk) 00:13, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

• meh, i did notice that also, but it is much too much ttatot. also i love the ethical tag. its funny. csours 01:29, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Ecochair != Tempurpedic

So someone put up a reference saying the ecochair was a reference to tempurpedic mattresses. I don't get how this could possibly be. That chair is NOTHING like a mattress. I figured it was a fairly vague reference to IKEA furniture, personally. Yeah, that person's crazy. If my changes weren't universally overridden, i'd change it myself... but i want this to be changed, so i won't change it --JamesDean 00:35, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

And that would be me! Forgive, for I should've ran this through the discussion thing before I went ahead and made such a bold statement! I figured the Ecochair made a bit of a reference to Tempur-pedic and other such styles of furniture, with their questionable designs made from questionable materials! After re-rewatching the email, it would appear that the ecochair does not, in fact, use crazy memory foam to shape itself to the user! Such a reference is quite a bad decision. --Crazy Person

Anthraxy

Anyone else think that Winger is less anthraxy, not because of the disease anthrax, but because Winger is not like the band Anthrax, thus they are less Anthraxy? --JamesDean 01:01, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, it seemed like a bit of word-play to me.--H-ko 01:44, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
