message: I've added a little more insight on the creature from Anna M. Richards book A New Alice in the Old Wonderland, which describes the Bandersnatch a little more. Piecraft 18:22, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The latter-day dissemination of bandersnatch— a nonce word instantly recognizable to the post-literati as a would-be hip allusion to an unread classic of funky reputation— has given an easily-won but quite spurious air of humorful quaintness to unimaginative mediocrities and of a tongue-in-cheek cultural literacy to those whose street creds outweigh their library cred, but who do enjoy that -snatch phoneme. This accounts for the constant reappearance of bandersnatch in the lingo of marginal pop figures listed at the end of the article. Hasn't Tom Wolfe or anyone made a passing remark on this familiar devaluation of bandersnatch? one that can be quoted in the article— and referenced, made secure from the outcries of the Offended Humorless and the Closeted Para-literate? --Wetman (talk) 01:09, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Accusations of pseudo-intellectualism rarely fly when the person making the accusation doesn't present any sort of reasonable way to judge the pseudo-intellectual from the ones he or she considers actual intellectual. It usually just comes down to a poser trying to paint others as posers. DreamGuy (talk) 21:17, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Chuck Dodgson might have a great deal to answer for; however, his only failure was that he did not anticipate the modern proclivity for fastening on to the trivial and manufacturing something important from it by simply repeating it a few times.   He can hardly be blamed for modern society's love of the irrelevant.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:30A:2C4A:1CB0:9C95:11BF:7679:350D (talk) 17:28, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pop Bandersnatch deflation

message: This author wrote the screenplay for the Hitchcock film 'The Birds', and also a novel titled, 'the frumious bandersnatch'. I believe it was his last.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mumadadd (talk • contribs) 19:41, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

message: The line "In Pandora Hearts (2006), Lily's chain is a large black dog named Bandersantch." makes no sense whatsoever to someone who doesn't know what Pandora Hearts even is (a movie? A game?) much less anything about it, namely myself.  Now I understand I can (and did) click the link to find out more, but someone who is actually familiar with the subject should elaborate because it still really doesn't make sense what a "chain" is nor how it can be a dog.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.247.91.210 (talk) 03:09, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
