Transcript

{Open to Stinkoman training in the field.}

STINKOMAN: {punches the air} Hah hah hah hah hah hah hah! {kicks the air} Hya hya hya hya hya hya hya!

{The Homestar Runner walks up, kicking his can. The can taps Stinkoman's foot.}

STINKOMAN: Waah! {jumps} Who are you?

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: I'm the Homestar Runner.

STINKOMAN: That name is dumb. It sounds like it is soooo dumb.

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Well, what's your moniker?

STINKOMAN: I go by Stinkoman. That's the name of a talented fighter if ever there was one.

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Okay, if you say so. Would you care for some dry meal? {pulls out a bag of dry meal which makes a dry wheezing sound}

STINKOMAN: No way! I'm training for fighting, or maybe a challenge. So what's that thing you're kicking around?

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, that's just an old can of water soup. I kick it around ever since {sadly} my dog worshed away in the storm of '28.

STINKOMAN: You seem like you might not be from around here. Do you have any special powers?

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: I can play a mean worshboard. {pulls out a washboard that says "worsh it" and plays it}

STINKOMAN: {flinches} Whoa, what is that? What is that? Some kinda robot?

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: What's a robit?

STINKOMAN: You don't know what a robot is? Hahaha! You're so dumb! Hahaha! Dumb.

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Oh, go soak your fat head.

STINKOMAN: Are you asking for a CHALLEENGE? {starts to power up}

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Yes sir. Yes sir I am.

STINKOMAN: {jumps high into the air} DOUBLE DEUCE!!!!

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: {pulls out a pea shooter and shoots at him} Ptooie. {it hits Stinkoman in the eye}

STINKOMAN: {falls to the ground} Ow! My eye! It's like, my eye! It hurts so bad!

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Well, folks, you know what that means. Now I'll do a dance. {starts dancing}

STINKOMAN: Hahaha! That dance cracks me up! Hahaha! You gotta teach me!

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Just hafta shimmy and shake.

STINKOMAN: Yeah! Now I've got it! {starts dancing}

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Twenty exty-six!

STINKOMAN: Nineteen thirty-six!

THE HOMESTAR RUNNER: Twenty exty-six!

STINKOMAN: Nineteen thirty-six!

Fun Facts

Trivia

• The word 'robot' was coined in 1921 by Czech writer Karel Capek in his play R.U.R.
• A hurricane struck Florida in September 1928 and is often referred to as "The Storm of '28" or the "Lake Okeechobee" hurricane.

Inside References

• Stinkoman asking "What is that? Some kinda robot?" is a possible reference to the Strong Bad Email some kinda robot.

Remarks

• The Old-Timey scratch line behaves irregularly:
  • Sometimes it sticks out of The Homestar Runner's body; other times it doesn't even reach the edge.
  • There is no scratch line on The Homestar Runner's foot, hat buzzer, or worshboard.
  • During part of the toon the dry meal sack has a scratch line (independent of The Homestar Runner's), but for the rest of the toon it does not.
  • Sometimes, when The Homestar Runner is sideways or slanted (toward the end when he's saying "20X6"), the scratch line is too.

Real-World References

• The kicking attack Stinkoman practices bears a strong resemblance to Chun Li's lightning kick attack from the Street Fighter 2 series.

DVD Version

• The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

Commentary Transcript

(Commentary by: Mike Chapman, Matt Chapman)

MIKE CHAPMAN: Ooh, a nice little title screen there.

MATT CHAPMAN: Oh, these are always fun to do. Mixing the weird, different universes of the Homestar Runner world.

MIKE CHAPMAN: Yes. This was the first—Was this the first thing that Stro—Stinkoman was in after the japanese cartoon email?

MATT CHAPMAN: Yeah, I think so. This was the first fleshing out of his character a little bit. {pauses} I like how Old-Timey Homestar Runner has scratchies only on him—

MIKE CHAPMAN: Yeah.

MATT CHAPMAN: —and his voice.

MIKE CHAPMAN: And—and his audio?

MATT CHAPMAN: Yeah.

MIKE CHAPMAN: I think Old-Timey Homestar Runner is my favorite character.

MATT CHAPMAN: What do you think Old-Timey Homestar Runner's dog's name was, Mike?

MIKE CHAPMAN: Um...

MATT CHAPMAN: Old something?

MIKE CHAPMAN: {laughs} Yeah. Old Eyelids? Cause he had eyelids? {Matt laughs} His eyelids were really big, actually.

MATT CHAPMAN: Okay. They droop down off his face?

MIKE CHAPMAN: {laughs} Yeah. Instead of having big droopy jowls, he had big droopy eyelashes. Wait, what did I say? Eyelids, not eyelashes.

MATT CHAPMAN: Yeah. You think there's an anime name for those mushroomy things? Yeah, it's been like that.

MIKE CHAPMAN: Really?

MATT CHAPMAN: That's terrible. It looks really bad.

MIKE CHAPMAN: An anime name for the mushrooms?

MATT CHAPMAN: Yeah.

MIKE CHAPMAN: I do think there's a name for them, but I can't think of what it might be right now.

MATT CHAPMAN: {laughs} There's the snot— There's the snot bubble. There's the tear that comes up the side of your face. And then there's the weird, angry mushroom when you're laughing.

MIKE CHAPMAN: They mean something to someone, but not to me.

MATT CHAPMAN: Get down.

MIKE CHAPMAN: It's like the end of the pale green pants.

MATT CHAPMAN: Yeah.

MIKE CHAPMAN: Hello?

MATT CHAPMAN: Hello?

MIKE CHAPMAN: Hello?

MATT CHAPMAN: Hello!

MIKE CHAPMAN: And... keep playing here. We're gonna fade it out.
