[edit] Title
Shouldn't we call it The S is for Sucks Dragon rather than just The S is for Sucks? I'm sure people agree it makes more sense, although it doesn't really matter. »ßenit, known as señor« 21:45, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- It is in the KOT mainpage, so I am adding it. Rogue Leader / (my talk)
- Nowhere on the wiki (except for one talk post) do we call this guy a dragon. He's not a dragon. That's why Strong Bad had to start over. I'm changing the name back. — It's dot com 22:21, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC) EDIT: On the King of Town Main Page, he's referred to once as "The S is for Sucks version of Trogdor," but never specifically as a dragon. — It's dot com
- How about The S is for Sucks guy or man or character? Not having a label distingushing the character from the phrase is unclear & confusing to me. single deuce 22:55, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)
- I dunno. I kinda like the name the way it is. — It's dot com 23:02, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)
Although I think he is, in fact, a dragon, albeit a poorly drawn one, I agree about keeping his name the way it is. It's more succinct. Trelawney
- I suggest we reopen this topic for discussion. In Trogday 08, Strong Bad calls him "The S is for Sucks dragon!!"

- I don't think there's even any need for disscussion anymore. TBC called it "The S is for Sucks Dragon", so that's its name.-- DongleGoblin 18:35, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
In the recent Trogday cartoon, Strong Bad refers to this dragon as "The S is for Sucks dragon." Should we do a page move? —Guard Duck talk 23:39, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Okay, given the new Trogday 08 toon, I'm just going to move the page. I think we can agree that TBC refered to it as "The S is fo Sucks Dragon", so the move's obvious.-- DongleGoblin 00:36, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Inside Joke?
Um...just a thought. Is "The S is for Sucks" really an inside joke? I've only seen it used once after its debut. Brightstar Shiner 20:05, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
- Definately not. I've seen it twice. On dragon, and on the KOT main page. If it's shown twice, it is not an inside joke. — talk Bubsty edits 16:48, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
- How about being shown thrice?-- DongleGoblin 18:35, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Do we Really Need This Page?
I could understand "The S is for Sucks dragon," but not a whole page based on a joke that's only used once or twice. --Super Martyo Brother 21:56, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
- Are you kidding? Useless pages for one-shot gags are the foundation of HRWiki
- See, you wait long enough, and then Trogday 08 happens and you have no reason not to keep the page. :) BazookaJoe 16:15, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Perhaps a more General Page Would Do
Since I created the Beefy Arms page (in need of desperate help, by the way), I think we could merge these two into a more general, Trogdor-related page. Trogdor Running Gags, perhaps? Or would that not work? · · T2|Things 00:30, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Strong Bad's preference
Should we add something about how Strong Bad apparently prefers this one to Trogdor (as seen in Trogday 08)? 71.212.91.220 05:12, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] V's
What is the difference between "constabulate V's" and "consummate V's"?
- One is called "constabulate" by strong bad and the other is called "consummate" by strong bad. (Meaning, neither actually exists, strong bad just made both up.) — Defender1031*Talk 17:00, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
- Neither exists? Strongbad made them both up? I strongly doubt that. Constabulate means of or pertaining to the constabulary (primarily british police), which makes little sense, but consumnate means 'perfect in form', which is a worthy explanation of trogdor's teeth and spinities.
- Uh huh, and those definitions as they apply to the letter V are made up, which is what I was saying. — Defender1031*Talk 19:10, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
