Since there's never been a book, newspaper, or magazine published about Strong Bad, isn't this entire article considered original research? I sure hope not, since I'd rather not see it go. Ralphael 18:07, 4 February 2006 (UTC) Hah, apparently primary sources are sometimes allowed. Nevermind. :D Ralphael 20:24, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
I've never heard a mexican who sounded like him...his accent isn't really straight mexican.
I was the one who put that, his accent isn't mexican anymore, but it definitely had a mexican thing to it in the early years, you know, on the easter egg strong bad soundboard, he uses that accent, and says stuff like noooooothing!
The Strong Bad page had all kinds of strange information on it, like a picture and a description of Sterrance (ostensibly relevant because it was Strong Bad's self-portrait "if he were a little animal") (?) I tried my best to pare down the entry to its encyclopedic minimum and direct people to the Homestar Runner Wiki for further information. I'm trying to hammer out a philosophy of how to separate a "Wikipedia" encyclopedic information from a "Homestar Runner Wiki" fanstuff, and I'm trying to channel this discussion towards the discussion page for the Homestar Runner Wiki template... metaeducation
"Georgian" Flash animators? This made me think they are from Georgia(the former Soviet republic in the Caucusus). I have replaced this with "American."
How about we replace that with "Animators from the American state Georgia?" or something along the lines of that -- JoeBlowfromKokomo 21:21, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
I removed the bolds from, "A common misconception is that Strong Bad is wearing gloves and a mask; they are literally his hands and face." "Literally" means just that, and it doesn't need emphasis as if, "No, I really mean literally." Sentence is good without bolds/italics. SaltyPig 03:28, 4 Feb 2005 UTC
I noticed the changes/reverts to the article. Reading Anti-hero, it looks more like he is a villain to me. Strong Bad seems to just do things for himself, kind of a "because I want to/can" thing, not to fight for good or for a cause (except his own wants). He cons others into doing things for him, he prank calls, he kicks The Cheat, taunts his brother Strong Sad, etc. He's a likable villain, but still a villain of a sort, I think. -- AshyRaccoon 03:32, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
He's a villain. He only thinks of himself, his 1936 self has a 'stache, and Stinkoman enjoys beating people up. What more proof do you need? -- Stlunko 404 04:37, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
Why is he in the "Fictional Musicians" category? Also, there should be a Stinkoman page. -- 207.69.139.139 05:55, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
He regularly sings; Heck, he even released a CD. ( trogga )
Its called "Strong Bad Sings And Other Type Hits" so i think that is basis for being a fictional musician. SpokaneWilly 23:41, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
But still he sings and they're not bad songs honestly. And I think Crack Stuntman should be on here. ♥♥♥ (Trogdor14)
Is mentioning that SB's mask looks like the helmet of the Red SPD Ranger even relevant? Strong Bad's been around since 1996 or '97 when the Brothers Chaps did the first kids' book, which was seven years before "Dekaranger" aired over in Japan, so if anything, there'd have to be a reverse connection (Toei copying off of HSR). -- Cardinal biggles 17:39, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
They changed this over in the HSR wiki, and I'm trying to fight for that over there, too, but really, at this point it seems obvious that Strong Bad is the MAIN character in HSR, not "a" main character or a co-star. I'm sorry to all the Homestar fans out there, but come on; the evidence is overwhelming.
I'm taking college level screenwriting, wherein we study plot structure and character defenitions. If we are speaking of the creation of the characters, in the original children's book Homestar is the protagonist, he's the one with the problem in the beginning of the story and the plan to enter the contest. Strong Bad is the Antagonist. Whether he is villian or anti hero is a moot point, because the story is not cannonical, it doesn't build off the original story, it doesn't follow a set time sequence. The point of view is different, in one Pom Pom is the protagonist. In answering machine Marzipan is the protagonist. In many, albeit very many, Strong Bad is the protagonist. To say one is the main character is an false statement in an episodical creation where the point of view changes from episode to episode. I think we've put this argument to bed.

How comes my add about Strongbad's candy product got BALEETED? It's the awesomest Strong Bad Email yet!
Well, if we mentioned his candy product, we'd have to mention his pop-up book, his kids' show, his action figure, and his Ab-Abber 2000. Oh, and sign your posts, please. -- Jnelson09 22:43, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
I think the entire article should be redone as about 90% of it is irrelevant. This is one of the worst articles I have seen on wikipedia. It reads more like a fractured essay or amateur journalism. Apparently, very few Strong Bad fans understand what is expected in an encyclopedia entry. I suppose we could have guessed that. --Wicked 08:51, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Why doesn't the Strong Bad picture work? Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg exists, and the template obviously points to it, but it doesn't show. It works for Strong Sad, though. I've tried, but can't figure out the problem. Can someone with more experience track this down? Much appreciated. — Jeremy Talk 08:43, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
Examples:
Works now, after a cache purge. Don't know if that fixed it or if it was some other transient issue. — Ilmari Karonen ( talk) 16:23, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
"Asplode" redirects here, but there's no explanation of the term. Maybe someone with better HSR knowledge could add that in? TheContralto 17:03, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey, should there be a mention of Strong Badia in the article?-- Xlegiofalco 03:56, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
I made a section, but it could use a bit more info, but not a lot. It does have a link to the Strong Badia article. Tuesday42 20:36, 25 August 2006 (UTC)````
can someone rig a redirect from SBEmail to this page, im a n00b and i dont really know how.Kiran90 12:34, 2 September 2006 (UTC) v
In the latest SBEMAIL, Strong Bad's lappy was kidnapped. I wrote that down in the article, but it was deleted. If, by the next SBEMAIL it isn't resolved, we should write it back. KdogDS 22:08, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
You can put it back now. Tuesday42 20:48, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Does Strong Bad really belong there? I know he's rapped, but so have various random cartoon characters. Tuesday42 21:54, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Why are there spoiler tags? ---Lazylaces-Helping Wikipedians since.. um.. for almost a year! Lazylaces ( talk • contribs 22:26, 27 December 2006 (UTC) Because of the 'Lappynapped' story arc. See the email 'cliffhangers' and then 'retirement' and you should get it. Tuesday42 02:45, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
In some of the e-mails, Marzipan, Homsar and Homestarrunner mention something about "DNA Evidence." For example, in the Strong Badathlon e-mail, Marzipan and Homsar are having tea and Marzipan says that said evidence had been "tampered with." Where did this storyline come from?
"He enjoys "cold ones" (or beer), although we never see him drinking on the website."
I have deleted this. It is untrue. DanTheShrew ( talk) 23:52, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
Actually, this is really quite true. You can see Strong Bad, Bubz, and other characters drinking "Cold Ones, Not-so-cold Ones, and even Warm Ones" in various videos on occasion, see the SBEmail "Explosion" (the one where Strong Bad destroys the Lappy) for an example. Jdaniels15 ( talk) 15:17, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
This article would have a bit more content if you gave the game series a small section, covering the basic features of the games. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 21:08, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
In the podcast for source 20, talking about a second season of Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People, the people talking in that podcast said, "They (the developers) haven't made an announcement, but it all depends on how it sells, I'm sure." The fact that the developers haven't made an announcement means this is only their opinion. 67.162.131.80 ( talk) 16:17, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
Shouldn't the S' is for Sucks dragon get some mention in the article? I mean, Strong Bad DID sing a song about him. And he was originally a prototype of TROGDOR, but was later made to be a different character altogether in the song "The S is for Sucks". Jdaniels15 ( talk) 18:18, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
This says that the album was reissued to promote The Avengers. Unsourced, and makes no sense. Can someone explain?- 98.213.49.237 ( talk) 10:16, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
This is false. The album came out LONG before The Avengers was even announced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.126.56.92 ( talk) 18:29, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
Since this unsourced, bizarre and implausible factoid has been in the article for over a year without somebody adding a source, I'm deleting it. 123.243.147.193 ( talk) 12:44, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
