message: I have always thought it was a dildo, which got stuck in her head in utero. It kinda fits her mom's rather... "sexual" outlook. Reading this page is actually the first time I have heard of anyone thinking it was anything else!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 133.62.137.100 (talk) 05:14, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Where does it say that Biff is gay and that Chip is straight?
The show never says that Biff is gay and that Chip is straight, but it's somewhat implied like Smithers in The Simpsons, but Biff's sexuality is never confirmed. I think that part of the article should be removed.

text: Pickles absolutely has good values. She does all sorts of things for her family, and is not a bad mother. Smoking, drinking, and sexing up the place do not equal bad values. Search4Lancer 02:01, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Lancer, in your opinion, they don't. In my opinion, they do. Not the sexing up, though. She only has sex with her husband, and there's nothing wrong with that. But the constant drinking goes against traditional values. Since the term "values" is entirely subjective, I made a compromise. I said that the Oblongs have better values than the Hill people. I think that it's arrogant for "free spirited" people to say that traditionalists can't dictate what "good values" are, yet they can. Politician818 02:31, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: ...

message: Were Biff and Chip conjoined in the womb? Because aren't conjoined twins always identical? Are Biff and Chip identical, cause don't they have different colored hair? If they're identical, then I guess that a message of the show is that you aren't born gay. Cause if people are born gay, then both twins would have to be gay. LOLPolitician818 22:35, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: 1. You're reading too much into the show. It's a goddamn cartoon... 2. The gay comment is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Neither of them is gay (RTFA), so there was no reason for it. And even so, if one of them was gay, I severely doubt that that would be a 'message of the show.' Once again, reading too much into it.

message: 13 original episodes
According to Angus Oblong's site (he's the creator of the series), there were only 13 episodes. This is repeated on several other sites.

I am also deleting the rumor about Oblongs Coming back.
In 2006, Casanova Shamdil announced that he will be bringing back The Oblongs with his independent production company, Creepy productions.

thread_title:  Oblongs Episodes and Deleting of False Rumor 

message: I don't think that it is implied Peggy's parents are two homosexual men; instead their deformity/disability is being androgynous or possibly even hermamphrodites.  I even think there's a joke about this in the Parents Night epidsode.
-- Yeah I was just watching it, and I think the joke is that you can't tell if it's two men, or a feminine man and a butch woman. Alexcicio (talk) 06:06, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Peggy Weggy's Parents 

message: As I recall the first prime time airing was advertised as a double episode with only one being aired (the second episode's synopsis fits what we received in Adelaide with a station voice over rather than opening credits). The rumour it was pulled off mid episode (which it may have been in other regions) is credible as the station had a history of taking off or playing whatever its owner decided, schedules b'damned. MartinSFSA (talk) 19:12, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't speak for Adelaide but in Sydney I definitely recall The Oblongs premiered at 7:30 followed by Nikki at 8pm. Both shows were pulled after one episode(not during) and eventually shown the following year at different timeslots.

message: What exactly is the source of all of the characters middle names? I don't recall it ever being mentioned on the show nor do I remember ever seeing anything in the show's press releases or on Angus Oblong's website. Can someone please provide a valid reference and source for these otherwise they should be removed. Rosie, Queen of Corona (talk) 04:35, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Overuse of interlinking? 

message: The section comparing the characters to Rugrats characters is nonsense and incoherent.  I am hesitant to remove an entire section but I can't see how it's relevant or even true (seriously, the only difference between Phil and Lil and Chip and Biff are that Phil and Lil aren't conjoined?  I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that Lil has at least one other major difference from Chip and Bill AND Phil.)  If no one objects with a rational reason why this section is included, I think it should be removed.  And if it must stay, it desperately needs some help. Witchzenka (talk) 05:19, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Rugrats? 

message: I removed the information that says Suzie only smiles once in the series, in the episode Disfigured Debbie at Debbie's funeral, because I saw all episodes and she is shown smiling several times. For example:
* In the episode Flush, Flush, Sweet Helga, when Elga is stuck on the sewer and is about to get drowned there, Suzie smiles, and previously, when Milo's mom decides to give a party to the kids, she laughs and applauds. 
*In Disfigured Debbie, she smiles at Debbie's funeral, but previously, when Milo's decides to challenge Debbie in a school election, she and all of his friends laugh at him together.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brazilian Man (talk • contribs) 05:09, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
