'''STINKOMAN:''' Hello? I think I have the wrong number. Your voice sounds like this is the wrong number. But just in case, can I interest you in a challenge? Or maybe some light fighting? If so, ''{the sound of Stinkoman charging up is heard}'' call me on my cell phoooone!

===Message 2===

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, now make him say it. Make him say it!

'''GRAPE-NUTS ROBOT:''' ''{monotone}'' Kiss the butt.

'''GRAPE-NUTS ROBOT:''' ''{monotone}'' Kiss a butt.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Not "Kiss a butt"! What's wrong with this thing, Bubs?

''{pause}'' Okay... Sweepstakes Ron? Are you there? Hello? You told me to call this number and leave a radio promo, and then you'd- you'd give me the sweepstakes. So... gimme some of that sweep-a stakes.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===

*"Bonjour" is [[French]] for "good day".
*"Amigos" is [[Spanish]] for "friends".
*"Je m'appelle" means "I call myself" ("My name is") in French.

===Remarks===
*This answering machine came out in June of 2003, but the answering machine blew up from Strong Bad's prank call in [[personal favorites]], which came out in April of 2003. However, it is possible that Strong Bad never actually blew up the answering machine, given that many of the "emails" were made up.
**Interestingly, although it denies the existence of the answering machine explosion, it ''does'' confirm the existence of the [[Grape-Nuts Robot]] Bubs built in another "personal favorite."
*Messiagio is close to the Italian word for "message", but not quite. It's actually "messaggio".
*When Strong Bad and Bubs hang up from their prank call, a dial tone is heard.  However, hanging up while talking to an answering machine should just end the message.
*In Strong Bad's sweepstakes message, he first offers an unlimited supply of one million punches in the face. This is contradictory, as one million is a definite number, while unlimited is infinite.  It is possible that the supply of punches, while unlimited, comes in installments of one million punches at a time.

===Inside References===

*Strong Bad prank calling as a radio sweepstakes announcer is a reference to [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 4.0]], where Marzipan's outgoing message states that Strong Bad's "radio contest" prank call is her favorite.

===Real-World References===

*"Pointy point five" and "voice of Paughkeegan State" are references to Atlanta's local "eighty eight point five" (Album 88) "the voice of Georgia State."
*[[Wikipedia:Cracklin' Oat Bran|Cracklin' Oat Bran]] and [[Wikipedia:Cap'n Crunch|Crunch Berries]] are [[Breakfast Cereal|breakfast cereals]].
