Which sounds like something Schwarzenegger or Stallone would say.

Anyway, FO and I were talking about the "Errol" theory (which wouldn't be confirmed by looking at the Japanese script anyway, if it's spelled phonetically; it would still be spelled like Error), but the most likely situation is just that his name IS Error, intentionally. The other character is Bagu, which might be a (mis)translation of Bug. So, you have Error and Bug.

Which would be ironic, since that would mean it's actually Bagu who...

He was like a tertiary character.

Not sure if he counts since he wasn't a "main" character, but there was the Iceman knockoff from Incredibles.

Are there black main characters in Pixar films?

I can't find it now, so I think it must have been deleted, but there was a guy on IMDb's Up message boards who started a thread asking "Why are there no black characters in Pixar films?" After he got a few replies, he replied back saying pretty much: "SHUT UP!! I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYONE'S OPINIONS! I JUST WANT YOU ALL TO AGREE WITH ME!!"

Here's another example I just randomly stumbled onto of someone asking a question, getting an honest straightforward answer, and then the person who asked the question getting unreasonably upset by the answer and calling the person "smug" for it:

When some people use nicknames a lot, I sometimes think of the person who says it by that name. Like, on The Office, Andy always calls Jim "Big Tuna", but there's no real reason to think of Jim as Big Tuna. Instead, I think of Andy as Big Tuna since he's the one who always says it.

In real life, there was one person who tried to use "Tantalizing Sauce". Now the only thing I can remember him for is that he used...

FO always said that one of the points of the RAU was to go against cliches. An example is how in fantasy fiction, usually entire races are evil, down to the individual (eg., the Orcs in Lord of the Rings), whereas FO specifically made Nucleo an exception to mountain devil society.

So, it's great to see some take down of the Encyclopedia Brown.

You know, I'll bet the average person doesn't even realize that IS a cliche. I never see it complained about...

We had talked about Encyclopedia Browns before in this topic.

It was also a big part of Harry Potter 4, though we didn't go into detail about it there. I'm still linking that thread in memory of Claude Schitter.

Wasn't it you who had the idea for Error to be 50 feet tall on Captain N just like Donkey Kong was? That was the Error joke that made me laugh the hardest.

I'm not saying that the line isn't somewhat-amusing if you think about it too much, and some of the NES Scene jokes about it were okay. But I was really getting sick of seeing threads in my site tracker where people would be discussing bad NES game grammar and someone would inevitably say something like, "You're all forgetting the worst NES grammar of all time - 'I am Error'!" (The reason they'd be in the site tracker before I put up the Error article is...
