Editing Talk:442: xkcd Loves the Discovery Channel

I think that panel 9 actually is meant to be Black Hat giving the child a present and the lines around the gift suggesting that there is something moving around inside (likely alive and agitated) for the child to open and be mauled/harmed by.
*The transcript comes from [[Randall]] himself, and it says he's taking the present away. [[User:Blaisepascal|Blaisepascal]] ([[User talk:Blaisepascal|talk]]) 10:14, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Great! Now I have a targeted list of comics to add explanations for! [[User:Blaisepascal|Blaisepascal]] ([[User talk:Blaisepascal|talk]]) 10:14, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

To Dgbrt, 
"Links do not belong to the transcript, this needs to be fixed."
I know I'm just a noob here, but if you're so sure of that, why didn't you remove them yourself? Isn't one of WikiMedia's pillars "Be Bold"? I personally see no problem, given the self-referential nature of this comic.

:This is not actually a WikiMedia site, but you're right that "Be Bold" is a wiki thing, in general. Nevertheless, in this case, the official transcript provided by Randall includes these references, so they might as well be wikilinked here. (In Dgbrt's defence, he (or she) may not have had the time to undo it himself (or herself).) [[User:Markhurd|Mark Hurd]] ([[User talk:Markhurd|talk]]) 12:12, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

::No time was in fact my first reason; but on the other hand I didn't want to remove links without an section at the explain section. The links are not from the original transcript, it does only mention the references, and this belongs to the explain. The transcript is a transcript, not more. (even no time today for me on this...) --[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 22:26, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

For panel 19, I have to point out: Everything r34 related isn't necessarily a reference to the comic about it. Just because it is related doesn't mean that he was specifically making a joke about a previous comic, as he is making a joke about r34 which he ALSO happened to make a joke about in another comic. If it referenced Wetriffs or something, THEN it would be a reference.

The Discovery Channel song is itself a parody of a traditional children's song:
I love the mountains
I love the rolling hills
I love the flowers
I love the daffodils
I love the fireside
When all the lights are low
Boom dee ah dah (Randall writes "boom de yada")
