Talk:Triumph the Insult Comic Dog

message: According to the Answers web site, Pets.com didn't sue Triumph the Insult Comic Dog because he infringed on their trademark; Triumph was actually sued for defamation of character, resulting from repeated accusations that the Pets.com dog was just a rip-off of the Conan O'Brien character.   I'd heard this from other sources as well, so that's what I'm inclined to beleive. M.Neko
::The pets.com article has a referance saying Smidel sued pets.com first and they responded with a counter suit.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.107.135.210 (talk) 18:21, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Slavic? I thought of of it as Latin/Hispanic...? Krupo 04:41, Oct 13, 2004 (UTC)
Smigel has stated that is a Russian accent, to some extent an impression of his Grandfather.
He's called the Hungarian Insult dog, take a wild guess
--By whom is he called the Hungarian Insult Dog?
--This is an excellent discussion... FOR ME TO POOP ON!
--Looks like Krupo has never heard a latin accent. I'm spanish and I say: that accent must be russian or something, that way of pronouncing the R is not spanish at all.
--In the recent Inside the Actor's Studio with Conan O'Brien, Conan said that it was a "Russian woman's voice".  Can't be arsed to actually cite it and such, so I'll just leave this tidbit here if anyone wants it. --132.170.125.87 (talk) 16:43, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If the accent is intended to be "eastern European", then Smigel pretty much sucks at doing accents.  My grandparents are east European, and to me Triumph's accent always sounded like a caricature of a Mexican/central American accent.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.89.176.249 (talk) 03:01, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article Title: Comma Needed? 

message: I'd just like to add, as a long-time quebecois fan of Conan's show, that the little scandal with that Québec city episode was more about the show receiving a million in government money to tape in Toronto   as a city p.r. event following the SARS crisis. Oh yeah, and the sketch was just... I dunno, but I'me sure i never seen a french beret in my home town. Altough I saw a tuque, once.
:Faut dire que les Américains, tsé, c'est pas très calé en ce qui concerne les cultures hors-étatsunisiennes... Depuis le temps que je les vois nous dépeindre en beret et veste bleue, buvant du vin, serrant des accordéons, mangeant des escargots... Trucs qui des fois ne sont même plus français, sans parler de canadiens. Laodah 07:46, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Québec Bashing 

message: Okay, I've just submitted the following entry and had it deleted in about 30 seconds by self-proclaimed net-cop Meeples:
"Many of Trimphs clips contain very obvious changes in ambient audio levels and background noise, a clear indication of post-production dubbing. These sound-bytes typically contain humorous comebacks and often occur mid-sentence or in response to statements made by members of the public, thus suggesting that Smigel's comedic skill isn't quite as spontaneous as he would have his audience believe."
I have no intention of starting a debate on the ethics of such conduct, but the fact that it does so obviously occur in numerous Trimph clips is a perfectly valid point to make. Much of Triumphs humor lies in the fact that it is presented as being spontaneous. Such deliberate video manipulation calls into question the authenticity of the clips, a quality that Wikipedia itself aspires to.
Meeples, I appreciate the efforts people such as yourself make to maintain the standard of Wikipedia articles. I would also appreciate it if in future you provide more details as to your reasons. At the very least, something a little more substantial than a pithy accusation of it being "nonsense". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.82.183.148 (talk) 08:52, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

message: should triumph be classified as a living person biography, my reasoing is 1. he is a character of a living person and 2. he is at times controversial so it might be good to have the same restrictions.
:I think him not being alive, or a person, could present a logical problem there. Also why is he in "Fictional Hispanics"? Bender (Futurama) would fit, although I just added him to Fictional Mexicans instead, but when did Triumph say he was Hispanic?--T. Anthony 13:08, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
