Instructions · Help It's not even July! Strong Bad's comment, "What?! Back to school already?! It's not even July!" is a reference to how stores sell event-themed products an absurd amount of time in advance of such events. From: modeling Posted on: 19:44, 11 Jul 2005 (UTC) Arguments for: Stores regularly sell items for a holiday an absurd amount of time before the holiday (i.e. Christmas stuff in October, Valentine's Day stuff right after Christmas, etc.) Arguments against: Yes, that's the joke. It doesn't need to be explained. "If a plot element or joke is very obscure, an explanation might be necessary. This should not explain [...] anything even remotely obvious" (HRWiki:Standards#Explanations) Additional comments: At the time of writing this comment, 11 different people didn't thought it was obvious.

Instructions · Help Give a Care The phrase in the colognac ad "we don't really give a care" is a refrence to the e-mail No Loafing where Strong Bad talks about inspirational posters that talk about "determination and giving a care."

Instructions · Help Stupid Coincidence Stupid Coincidence Magazine costs $9, the same price as one of those glossy fashion magazines that Strong Bad mentions. From: modeling Posted on: 17:41, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC) Arguments for: It's a stupid coincidence, just like the magazine. Arguments against: No kidding. Thats the joke. I thought we weren't supposed to comment on obvious things? Additional comments: It isn't that obvious to people less observant than most.

Instructions · Help Poached Eggs and Facts Poachers illegally hunt animals such as elephants for resale and profit. From: modeling Posted on: 17:07, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC) Arguments for: Strong Sad's soolnds look similar to elephant feet. Arguments against: The definition of "poacher" is common knowledge—and even if it wasn't, anyone could just look in a dictionary. And this wiki, is deffinently not a dictionary. Additional comments: Really,wouldn't this be better as a Fun Fact for 50 emails? With the whole "50 bucks? Okay.

Instructions · Help Take Advice From Yer Brudder Homestar was considering breaking into male modeling in crying. From: modeling Posted on: 08:30, 1 Jul 2005 (UTC) Arguments for: It's pretty easy to see the ref, it's not like male modeling is a common subject to talk about... As mentioned in the additional comments, Homestar admitted wanting to break into male modeling, and this e-mail shows that he went through with it. Hence the ref. it fits the entire "stupid coincidence" theme. it is a useful reference to another subject Well, it's in crying, so it's a valid reference, even if it's thin. It seems plainly obvious to be a back-reference to crying. It could even be the influence FOR the e-mail that Meghan sent. Arguments against: But there IS no ref; there's nothing linking these two except sheer coincidence. The subject of male modeling was brought up by Meghan, not TBC or any of their characters. Additional comments: I think he means that since Homestar was on the cover of that mag he must of gone through with his idea of breaking into male modeling Maybe it's just another stupid coincidence? I like how the guy says "theres nothing linking them except sheer coincedence" which is kind of the theme of the whole thing. There's coincidence that isn't really coincidence - Homestar appearing on the cover of a magazine at the same time as Strong Bad, which isn't REALLY a coincidence because it was intentional on the part of TBC - and there's just sheer unrelated coincidence. This could easily be the latter. The "could be" in the above ArgFor is exactly why as many people declined this - it could be, but it we don't know. Speculation is usually frowned upon on this Wiki.

Instructions · Help Unremarkable None of the example magazine ads shown match the ads Strong Bad describes. From: modeling Posted on: 18:43, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC) Arguments for: Arguments against: This remark doesn't draw attention to anything that a viewer (of the transcript or the cartoon) wouldn't notice straghtaway. Additional comments: Maybe revise to comment on how each add is sort of a messed up version of what Strong Bad describes. Fancy shoes become lame, giant tube socks; fancy colognac becomes cream to fix "stinkfoot." Etc. No, because that part is in the transcript. Take it as it is or leave it, but don't revise it like that. Votes to accept: Votes to decline: Kiwi Homsar999 tomstiff —Gafaddict (Talk | Contribs.)
