The screen is styled after a typical [[interactive menus|DVD menu]]. The Yello Dello stands silhouetted on a mountaintop, in front of the title "In Search of the Yello-Dello". Six menu options, in two columns of three on either side of the mountain, make up much of the page:

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wait. Really? You did?

-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Little known fact: Homestar gained a hundred pounds and shrank two feet for this role.
+
-
 
+
-
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's true. Oh yeah, oh yeah, this is the scene that has subliminal advertisement! Watch, if you see that X, it ends up going between the E and the Z, which means that it... uhm... is easy... does it?

-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' You look so great in that lederhosen, Homestar. Shall we start calling you Homestar von Runnerberger or something?

'''STRONG SAD:''' It was MY rock... uh, it always kind of bugged me how you could never get your grammar right here, Homestar. "I think I HAS the solution?" What's that mean?
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, and I don't care what anybody says, but that bird is hot. I'll tell you that right now. A fine looking bird. Oh, here comes my favorite part! Oh ho ho! That's so great! That's a great one, Homestar! Classic!
+
-
 
+
-
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What? What'd I do?
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG SAD:''' You hit me in the face.
+
-
 
+
-
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ohhh, I know! It's America's Pasttime!
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I hate it when Pom Pom floats like that. It gives me the creeps, you know. I don't trust that guy any farther than I can throw him.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, then you must trust Pom Pom a whole lot, because-
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh shut up, why don't you? You guys were doing pretty good at this point. You hadn't lost any men. Had you found a diamond ring yet?
+
-
 
+
-
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, yeah, I think we found a diamond ring and some platinum bars and a couple bags of gold.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' {''imitating Strong Sad''} Oh, I don't know, Homestar, that looks really dangerous.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG SAD:''' Stop that!
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' {''imitating Homestar''} Oh come on, let's do it for Marzipan!
+
-
 
+
-
{''Homestar laughs''}
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' {''imitating Strong Sad''} Well, I already got Marzipan a present.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG SAD:''' Stop it!
+
-
 
+
-
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, no, keep it up, Strong Bad! I DO sound funny! Who's that? Oh, wait.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' OK, now before you guys start, I've got to say, in my defense, that I never wore a pair of oven mitts in my life, OK? Those have OBVIOUSLY been added in later on using the most advanced computer magic available. All right?
+
-
 
+
-
{''Homestar starts laughing''}
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' What? I'm serious!
+
-
 
+
-
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I wasn't laughing at you. I was laughing at Marzipan. She's funny lookin'.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, what a hottie.
+
-
 
+
-
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' OK, this scene is my pride and joy. I wrote this whole song all by myself. Well, except for the lyrics. And, uh, the music.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, yeah, I got an idea for you; jump. OK, Homestar, where the crap are your legs in this scene?
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, actually, Homestar wasn't in this scene. That was a sophisticated puppet that I'm operating with one of my hands at... offscreen?
+
-
 
+
-
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh yeah, I remember that. They had to replace me because I didn't have any legs.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Wahaha! OK, I lied, man. THIS is my favorite part of the whole cartoon. Hahaha. Oh look at him. His head looks like one of those things on a cow. You know, the part where the milk comes out.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, actually, that was a sophisticated bladder system that I operated off-screen with a belt-
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh shut up, why don't you? Wahahaha! Oh man, that's so great! And now he's bleeding! Ho ho ho, like some stupid bleeding baby.
+
-
 
+
-
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Sad, this, I feel, is your strongest role. It's like your every delicate intonation and gesture helps to weave this rich subtext of despair and wisdom.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh wow. Thanks Homestar!
+
-
 
+
-
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What? Did you just say something to me?
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know how the two of you managed to get his, fat, ugly butt up there.
+
-
 
+
-
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, don't worry. We had, like, 12 other guys underneath us helping.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Haha, it is a, a fat butt isn't it? It's ugly too.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG SAD:''' Now this was my time to really shine in the cartoon, so I used a bit of method acting to apply some of my own personal experiences to the scene. {''snoring in the background''} And I remembered this time back in school where, all of a sudden, everybody started being real nice to me, and I though it was 'cause I started wearing this t-shirt that said "I'm #1" on it, but it turns out it was all just because I had a pool.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' {''wakes up''} Hmm? What? Huh? What's going on? Oh, Strong Sad is stupid and Homestar is dumb. OK, Homestar, I've gotta ask, do you ever remember your lines? Because you're always going "uhm, uh, uhm, uh OK, OK, uhm."
+
-
 
+
-
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhm... yeah, I think I remembered this one line, one time.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' That's a big door.
+
-
 
+
-
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's a fake turkey. That's a fake invisible turkey.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG SAD:''' Marzipan really scares me when she's angry.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh, ouch. You know, Marzipan has really nice hands.
+
-
 
+
-
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I suppose she does.
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, you know those little guys creep me out, man. Like, I'll have nightmares where there's like a thousand of those little scorpions crawling all over me.
+
-
 
+
-
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah yeah yeah, or like that thing from Yar's Revenge, and, like, you wake up, and it's nibbling on pieces of you falling off the squares. (???)
+
-
 
+
-
'''STRONG SAD:''' I dream of my own death. Over and over and over and over and over and over {''fades out with him continually repeating it''}

=== Explanations ===
 +
*The way the music fades as it reaches the end of a loop (unlike most other loops on the site) mimics the looping music used on some early DVD menus where due to technical limitations the background music could not loop.
-
*The title may be a reference to the old TV series "In Search Of", which was narrated by Leonard Nimoy (Star Trek's Mr. Spock) and detailed the search for various legendary beasts, artifacts, and places (e.g. In Search of Bigfoot, In Search of The Loch Ness Monster, and so on).
+
=== Trivia ===
-
 
+
* A "DVD version" of the Yello Dello toon was teased by [[Mike Chapman]] in [[l33t Interview|a 2001 interview]], approximately a week before it was posted to the site.
-
*This was one of the very first toons that [[The Brothers Chaps]] made, before they established their visual style, and at the time, they were still learning how to use the tools. Every artist has to get their start somewhere.
+
-
*This movie contains the only instance of nudity (when the green man in Coach Z's shower drops his towel) on the entire website, besides censored versions of a naked Homestar.
+
=== Remarks ===
 +
*Onscreen [[title card]]s for both versions as well as this menu hyphenate "Yello-Dello". However, "Yello Dello" is not hyphenated in Toons menus (from the [[Lava Lamp Toons Menu]] through the [[TV Time Toons Menu|present]]), the current [[page title]]s, or the [[Everything Else Vol. 2]] menu.
-
*When [[Homestar Runner]] goes on the mountain at one scene, his star looks sorta like a flower.
+
=== Glitches ===
 +
* As of the [[post-Flash site update]], the storyboard link does not function.  
-
*When [[Coach Z]] talks to [[Homestar Runner]] about not just getting [[Marzipan (character)|Marzipan]] a flower, but getting a special flower, Homestar's Star has abnormal lines in it.
+
=== Real-World References ===
 +
*The menu theme is similar to the music from ''{{w|Pitfall II: Lost Caverns}}''.
-
*The deleted scene with the plane is a reference to the ATARI 2600 game [http://www.atariage.com/screenshot_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=976 Barnstorming].  The scene with the scorpion and stuff is also from the classic Atari 2600 game [http://www.atariage.com/screenshot_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=360 Pitfall].  
+
=== Fast Forward ===
 +
*[[Matt Chapman]] would later joke [[The Best Decemberween Ever#Commentary Transcript|in a 2006 DVD commentary]] that he was unlikely to reference "The Yello Dello" again.
-
*In the deleted scene, where Homstar and his companions are in the plane, after they fly into a bird or something, Homestar yells out, "Somebody get this freakin' duck away from me!" This is a reference to what Strong Bad says, or vice versa.
+
== Everything Else Vol. 2 Version ==
 +
*Switch the audio in the Old Version to hear commentary from Mike and Matt Chapman and [[Y-O-U|Peter Olson]].
 +
*The storyboard now has commentary.

*An Easter egg is added, featuring a fourth deleted scene. To access it, select the deleted scenes option and press right three times and click on the red Yello-Dello drawing.
-
*If you go to the third deleted scene, the one where Strong Mad plays Strong Bad's role, you can see that Strong Mad has a Black Flag tattoo on his right arm. Also, he has a shirt with some kind of decal on it.

[edit] Menu

The screen is styled after a typical DVD menu. The Yello Dello stands silhouetted on a mountaintop, in front of the title "In Search of the Yello-Dello". Six menu options, in two columns of three on either side of the mountain, make up much of the page:

Selecting the new version, commentary, trailer, or old version will redirect to the respective page; once it finishes playing, the browser automatically redirects back to the menu. "Deleted Scenes" opens a menu of three options to select, which then redirects the viewer to the page as before.
