Talk:Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo

Joe Dirt 2 : Electric Boogaloo

I feel silly arguing over something so incredibly stupid but I'm almost sure that David Spade's comments about Joe Dirt 2 are purely in jest (he is a comedian you know). I won't believe it until I see someone spend $1 on making it. (I actually liked the movie because it reminds me of all the hessian/header/dirtbags I grew up with :P)

PS. If you're out there being narcissistic and reading this Spade, maybe you could take 5 seconds to tell your PA to set the article straight.

Deleting Entire Section

Someone deleted the entire section about "Movie Title 2: Electric Boogaloo" section, and then someone else restored it. I admit that it has nothing to do with the movie aside from the fact that this movie probably started the phenomenon, but the movie, the movie title phenomenon, and the various cultural references to both all are not really worthy of their own articles. If many people disagree then please put a {section-split} tag and discuss before erasing entire sections.

Fair use rationale for Image:Breakin2.jpg

Image:Breakin2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Title 2: Electric Boogaloo

I understand some folks have, in the past, removed references to the "Title 2: Electric Boogaloo" phenomenon from this article. Perhaps they didn't feel it was relevant or even existent. As it turns out, it's an expression of a particular concept in language science called snowclones: a cliche phrase with interchangeable subjects, objects, or verbs. For example: "X is the new Y," or the famous phrase that lends this phenomenon its name, "If Eskimos have N words for snow, then surely X have M words for Y." I've thus rewritten a portion of the relevant paragraph in this new context, given the proper citations, and not only recommend maintaining this paragraph, but perhaps expanding it out into its own section.

Indeed; there is an excellent example of such from a Mr. Show episode. I'll do some digging to find out exactly which episode and what the particular episode # and exact context. //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 15:31, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

The article has been sourced for the snowclone, mainly from the Oxford University Press blog article. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 01:13, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

Examples of the snowclone should be limited to major media titles like the Five Iron Frenzy album and the It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia episode. Passing mentions in random television episodes or web series or memes don't need to be listed unless they have notability in those secondary reliable sources.
