Sheeple is a plural word, if it were just the one you'd have to call is a sheeperson. [[Special:Contributions/173.245.48.135|173.245.48.135]] 16:08, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

:Both sheep and people have a singular sense so it is not impossible that sheeple has too. [[User:Tharkon|Tharkon]] ([[User talk:Tharkon|talk]]) 01:15, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
 
::But "people" as a singular is a ''collective'' noun.  A people is a group such as a nationality or race, not a single individual member [[User:CVictoria|CVictoria]] ([[User talk:CVictoria|talk]]) 19:06, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
 
 
Removed the following paragraph:
 
<pre>This comic may also be a view on Randall's actual political views; the awakened monster in the comic actually represents all the "sheeple". Thus, Randall may be saying that if the "sheeple" wake up and realize that the government is controlling them, without an authority figure (i.e. the government) the sheeple would go wild and pandemonium would ensue.</pre>
 
It seems to be wild speculation, and unless there is something to back it up, I think it should remain removed from the explanation. [[User:Suspender guy|Suspender guy]] ([[User talk:Suspender guy|talk]]) 13:06, 14 October 2015 (UTC)
 
:This looks like a valid interpretation to me.  It says "may", couching it as just an interpretation.  We never know which of us Randall is more similar to, that we guessed the interpretation he had in his mind better than somebody else.  Thanks so much for preserving it instead of just erasing it.  [[Special:Contributions/173.245.52.199|173.245.52.199]] 23:02, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
 
 
There may be a connection to Tom Smith's song, "Sheep Marketing Ploy." The song describes a series of imaginary horror movies about "Fenton, the Death Sheep from Hell," who has a deep and ominous "Baaa." [[User:Gmcgath|Gmcgath]] ([[User talk:Gmcgath|talk]]) 20:40, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
 
 
Is that a shepherd's crook it's holding? Subtle, yet serious, irony... [[Special:Contributions/108.162.219.154|108.162.219.154]] 12:39, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
 
 
Oh yes, get '''''DESTROYED'''''. now you will suffer LIKE ME! (a line from a movie go watch it bwahahahahahahahahaha)[[User:Z1mp0st0rz|Z1mp0st0rz]] ([[User talk:Z1mp0st0rz|talk]]) 20:20, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
