Pom Pom & the Poopsmith

FlapperPrower · **Posted:** Mon May 02, 2005 6:24 pm

Whatever happened with those 2? Are TBC gonna kill off these characters?

ramrod · **Posted:** Mon May 02, 2005 6:26 pm

Nah, just Bubs got killed off.

It would be better if they showed up more often.

Ricksea · **Posted:** Mon May 02, 2005 7:07 pm

Bubs wasn't kicked off; he was just the Thnikkaman in the new "Marzipan's Answering Machine".

Moved to Characters.

PomPom is awesome and I want to see him again so much. I don't think anyone cares about the Poopsmith.

Hey hey hey! I would be very damaged if they killed off the Poopsmith. Sure he doesn't really do anything, but he's not annoying and he just has a way of being there funnily. I think.

I like the Poopsmith. :poop:

More than Pom Pom, anyway. :pom:

I think they are best friends now: whenever you see one, the other is usually nearby. Like in the email "pom pom," Pom Pom was holding the camera and the Poopsmith was holding the mike. In "the show," they were together. And several Halloween cartoons show them hanging out together, too. Pom Pom has a new best friend.

Okay, okay, so some people like the Poopsmith. ^_^;

They're united by their common traits: silence, and being ignored in favour of newer, shinier characters. They should lead a revolt in the name of ignored characters everywhere. June from Bonus Stage can come too.

And while Pom Pom is Poopsmith's friend, notice that he doesn't hang around with Homestar these days? They must have broken up (as friends) now. Well, I guess Pom Pom's and the Poopsmith's friendship is strong, mainly because they're both silent and they're popularity... wait, never mind. Let me do it again. Well, I guess Pom Pom's and the Poopsmith's friendship is strong, mainly because they're both silent and their rate of appearances seem to be almost the same, which is less than Homsar, and that's so sad, since Homsar is supposed to appear rarely.

It's because unlike Homsar, Pom Pom and the Poopsmith both aren't exactly comedic gold.

ramrod · **Posted:** Tue May 03, 2005 2:28 pm

Both Pom-pom and the Poopsmith have one reat trait each. Pom-Pom's everyone's friend, and the Poopsmith..is well, you know what I mean. They both only have one gag. TBC need to flesh them out more.

Just like what TBC's currently doing to Coach Z: making him more than a Coach who can't say stuff right.

And thus making him an even more crepier guy. But yeah, TBC do need to flesh out some of the 'forgotten' characters.

DumDeDum · **Posted:** Tue May 03, 2005 3:54 pm

at the moment, TBC seem to be busy with getting senor cardgage into the main characters. but they're compleatly forgetting about good ol' pom pom though... :pom:

Puphles · **Posted:** Fri May 06, 2005 2:16 pm

Pompom doesn't realy have much of a purpose these days. I mean, he can't talk and therefor isn't particularly funny. All he does is just stand around and bubble. The poopsmith on the other hand is okay. He can deliver some jokes, although they mostely just have to do with poop, but he's still better than Pompom

:poop:

uhh, willpower only counts in forum games section.

I don't really mind if they don't do anything funny with the Poopsmith. I mean I think it would be great if they had characters just talking normally and he's just there quietly shoveling away. I love the funny baffling mysterious aura surrounding him.

That would be a lot of stuff to throw at Marzi's house. He'd make Srong Mad do it though.

Come On

and the

those to are good i mean they have to be thinking of somthing pom pom made a little cameo in bug in mouth disease i dont think they are killing them off.But we havnt seen much of them

:sad:

Ungurait#7 · **Posted:** Thu May 19, 2005 10:49 pm

I think the best thing would be for TBC to either give either Pom-Pom or The Poopsmith some form of communication. The Poopsmith can hold up signs, like he did in "the show", and/or Pom-Pom could have translations at the bottom of the screen, like The Cheat has in "local news" and his bio on the characters page. The real problem is that otherwise, there are too many characters whose gag is not speaking understandably. But I've always liked these characters and I think TBC need to do more with them.

Black Metal · **Posted:** Sat May 28, 2005 4:53 pm

How many threads for this are there now?

Well it seems to be a fairly recent trend of people noticing the absence of Pom-Pom and the Poopsmith.

I think a good solution would be to subtitle Pom-Pom. I don't care for the poopsmith. Once Pom-Pom's secure than I would like to see Sterrance.

Ungurait#7 · **Posted:** Sat May 28, 2005 6:37 pm

Sterrance isn't even really a character. He's all in the mind of Strong Bad. As for Pom-Pom and the Poopsmith, all they need is some kind of communication that the audience can understand.

I like the fact the TBC haven't added any new major characters in recent times, but instead have created new little worlds for new characters to occupy. As far as I'm concerned, the Big Twelve
:hr:

are a sacred group that should neither be added to nor subtracted from.

Strong Bad also made up Stinkoman and the Visor Robot, but they became real.

Ungurait#7 · **Posted:** Sat May 28, 2005 7:37 pm

Did they? When has either Stinkoman or the Visor Robot actually interacted with any of the regular characters? Only in characters' imaginations (like the Robot in Homestarloween Party) or in completely separate universes (like the one that all the 20X6 characters inhabit). The only exception may be the original children's book, but that hardly represents the modern H*R universe.

Shopiom · **Posted:** Sat May 28, 2005 7:39 pm

Time capsule proves that 20X6 is real, I think.
