Easter Eggs
- Click on the top of the "boy's hobby kit" box when The Cheat is buying it to see what it says.
hollerin' jimmy's hobby kit "We have no idea what's in this box!!"
- Click on Doreauxgard's head at the end to see a video of the Homestar and Doreauxgard show!
ANNOUNCER: The Homestar Runner and Doreauxgard Show! Brought to you by Hollerin' Jimmy Hobby Kits!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Hey, Doreauxgard! We've got our own show!
DOREAUXGARD: Boy, I'll say! I'm gonna be a star!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: Nope. I'm afraid there's only one job for you on this show!
DOREAUXGARD: Well, lay it on me!
HOMESTAR RUNNER: You have to be...the produce-r!
{Homestar and the audience laugh.}
DOREAUXGARD: Forget you, Whitey! I'm going solo!
{Doreauxgard walks off. Soon Homestar stops laughing.}
- Click on the "SB" part of the graffiti to play a Strong Lib.
No, dan, the Cheat is a good lackey because he "(active verb phrase (i.e. "does some stuff."))" and "(negative active verb phrase (i.e. "doesn't do some stuff."))" or "(active verb phrase)." It probably also has to do with the fact that I treat him "(comparison phrase (i.e. "like an idiot"))" instead of a "(noun)." I also pay him real nice. Which isn't very difficult considering the Cheat "(another stupid active verb phrase)." Check it out.
Fun Facts
Trivia
- When this email was first put up, you could click "Stone Tablet" and "Papyrus" to see fake emails written on said items. These have since been removed.
- In the Strong Bad - lib Easter Egg, we can see Strong Bad's green tongue.
Goofs
- When Doreauxgard is in front of Compy 386, you can't see the contrast buttons.
- When Strong Bad contemplates what to do with his sharp pencil and cantaloupe, you can see another pencil behind Strong Bad's head. The pencil is resting on the keyboard, which is where Strong Bad was holding it earlier in the e-mail.
Inside References
- When The Cheat is buying the hobby kit, Bubs says, "and that comes out to fifteen-Tooty-two," which is an inside joke.
- When Strong Bad says The Cheat doesn't want to be taped to Pom Pom again he is referring to the e-mail your friends.
Real-World References
- "JD" is a reference to Julian Date, an astronomical dating system that counts the total days from January 1, 4713 BC (for example, January 26, 2004 AD is 2453031 JD).
- Strong Bad's remark about "super service" (in a Brooklyn accent) is a reference to the Three Stooges short Violent is the Word for Curly
Fast Forward
- Doreauxgard is an actual cantaloupe in the Easter egg, but The Brothers Chaps later created an actual Doreauxgard puppet with a moving mouth that has not been used on the site but can be seen in their Comcast interview.
DVD Version
- The Boy's Hobby Kit Easter egg is viewable using the angle button on your DVD remote.
- The Homestar Runner and Doreauxgard Show Easter egg is now fullscreen and in much higher quality video. It also adds a tiny bit of additional footage to the end (though sans any dialogue).
- The Strong Libs Easter egg now has Strong Sad moderating a Strong Lib and Strong Bad reluctantly playing.
Transcript
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Awww, don't make me do this thing! They're only funny when you're, like, 4 years old.
STRONG SAD: {voiceover} No, we're gonna do it, and it's gonna be great! {booklet flips to page two} OK, I need an active verb phrase.
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Uhm... "brings the noise"
STRONG SAD: {He writes "brings the noise" in.} {voiceover} OK, now I need a negative active verb phrase.
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} "Never takes two."
STRONG SAD: {He writes in "never takes two."} {voiceover} O-kay... Uh, another active verb phrase.
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} Uh, let me think about it, "gets busy."
STRONG SAD: {He writes in "gets busy."} {voiceover} OK. A comparison phrase. You know, like "like an idiot."
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} "Like a beard."
STRONG SAD: {He writes in "like a beard."} {voiceover} What? Oh, OK, I need a noun.
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} "Throat lozenge."
STRONG SAD: {He writes in "throat lozenge."} {voiceover} All right, and finally, one more active verb phrase.
STRONG BAD: {voiceover} I can't think of anymore!
STRONG SAD: {He writes in "can't think of anymore."} OK! Great! Let's see how it turned out! {turns page} "A Strong Bad Email. No, dan, the Cheat is a good lackey because he 'brings the noise' and 'never takes two' or 'gets busy.'" You see, that's... You told me to write that.
STRONG BAD: {voiceover, irritated} I know! Hurry up and finish!
STRONG SAD: {voiceover} Oh! "It probably also has to do with the fact that I treat him 'like a beard' instead of a 'throat lozenge.'" You see, that's good, you see, you wouldn't... you'd rather be treated like—
STRONG BAD: {voiceover, angry} Come on!
STRONG SAD: {voiceover} "I also pay him real nice. Which isn't very difficult considering that the Cheat 'can't think of anymore.' Check it out." See, that turned out pretty good! Strong Bad?
STRONG BAD: {voiceover, more distant} I'm already playing Nintendo in the other room!
Fun Facts
- "Brings the noise" is likely a reference to the Public Enemy song "Bring the Noise."
- Oddly enough, Strong Sad writes the phrases in Strong Bad's handwriting.
