Homestar Runner Wiki Forum

I don't know if this has been brought up before, but the origins of the Big Knife (as oppose to the Guy with the Big Knife) are stated as being in "I Love You". Was the knife Strong Bad hurls at his portly brother in "The Homestar Runner Theme Song" regarded as being of insufficient size to be a 'Big'?

Interesting point. The Homestar theme video was before I love you.

Well, the knife in the Theme Song Video is pretty big, and fairly similar in style to the established Big Knife. I think it qualifies for a mention on the Big Knife article, though perhaps with a note to the effect of "Though it predates such-and-such..."

Good find, Grover Junior, and welcome to the forum!

I guess you're right and it should be noted on the wiki, but i love you is the first official naming of the knife so it's important too.

You should put in the article that it wasn't named in theme song video.
I always thought it was already on there. I guess I'm just going crazy.

Upon close review, the knife in Theme Song Video is small compared to other appearances, but is of the same design. I would classify it as a different knife, but make a mention of it in the wiki.

Here's what I wrote on the Big Knife wiki page:

A similar knife appears in theTheme Song Video, predating other knife appearances, but its relation to the Big Knife is unverified.

I am not an expert on wiki protocol, so if my edit needs to be changed, feel free to do so.

[edit: Aaaand there we go. I new I'd mess it up. Thanks, whoever that was who fixed it.]
