Editing Allegedly Real Things

Many times, objects or people are specifically (and often awkwardly) described as '''real or actual''' when it's plainly obvious that they are not.

==Examples==
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 6.0]] &mdash; [[Strong Bad]] excessively embellishes the claim that [[Strong Bad's Ladies|his girlfriend]] is real.
*Email [[credit card]] &mdash; The writers of the email "promise that [they] are real and not just trying to steal [Strong Bad's] money".
*Email [[50 emails]] &mdash; [[Homestar Runner]] posts a fake error message after crashing the [[Compy 386]]. The error message's title bar reads "This is real."
**[[The System is Down]], [[Sbemail 100 fakeout]], and [[Main Page 22]] &mdash; Similar fake error messages to the above appear with "This is real." in the title bar.
*Email [[unused emails]] (Easter egg) &mdash; [[Bubs]]'s spam message insists "THIS IS NOT A JOKE!! THIS IS REAL!!!"
*Email [[autobiography]] &mdash; Strong Bad specifically notes that the description of his alleged girlfriend was a ''true'' part.
*Email [[technology]] (Easter egg) &mdash; Bubs advertises wireless extensions cords as being "lightweight, existent, and shockproof!"
*Email [[senior prom]] &mdash; Strong Bad's fake answering machine (an [[Clock Radio|alarm clock]] with a cassette on top of it) has a sign reading, "an answering machine (trust me)".
*[[Decemberween Short Shorts]] &mdash; [[Coach Z]] tells Homestar Runner that he's having "all kinds of real people over to [his] house for a coupla real people parties".
*Email [[diorama]] &mdash; Strong Bad's book, a "real book that exists", is allegedly written by "Ronmartin Realdude" (who insists that he is "a living, breathing person, not a cat") and printed by the "Actual Publishing Company". Coach Z talks to "Ronmartin Realdude" via a notepad with a cell phone drawn on it.
*[[Sickly Sam's Big Outing]] &mdash; [[The Homestar Runner]] receives an "honest telegram" from [[The Sneak]].
*Email [[shapeshifter]] &mdash; When Strong Bad asks Bubs, "How much for that Lamborghini hot tub you got back there?", Bubs answers, "Oh, ''that'' Lamborghini hot tub! It sure is back here!"
*Email [[imaginary]] &mdash; Strong Bad claims that Coach Z had an [[imaginary friend]] named "[[Overdescriptive Nouns|Real Live Actual Mr. Blangcaster Next Door]]".
*[[I Killed Pom Pom]] &mdash; Homestar speaks into a fake cell phone made of cardboard, then turns to [[The King of Town]] and [[The Poopsmith]] and says, "You guys hear that legitimate conversation I was just having? ''So'' legitimate."
