Transcript

{The Homestar Runner head from the spoof on Apple's "Think different" campaign appears. After a few seconds, the iPod menu appears and scrolls down to the bottom.}

{The selected email plays.}

{After the email has played, the screen cuts back to the "iPod menu". After a second, Strong Bad's head pops into view}

STRONG BAD: Whoa, what am I doing in this tiny box? {starts banging his head and hands on the screen} Let me! Outta the! Tiny! Box!

{The screen appears to shatter, with a shattering sound effect.}

STRONG BAD: Whoops. Hope you got the extended warranty.

{The shattered screen crackles, and goes black.}

Fun Facts

Trivia

Remarks

  • None of the Easter eggs from the original versions are present; Homsar's appearance in dragon is the exception.
  • The notice on the main page originally said "sbemail podcast!" but it was later changed to "sbemails on ipod!". This was most likely changed after noting that Podstar Runner was not truly a podcast, due to the videos not being broadcasted through a RSS feed syndication. As of February 6th, 2006, however, an official RSS feed has been released making Podstar Runner an actual podcast.
  • The sound quality in the iPod version of bottom 10 seems to drop to regular email level after the appearance of Wet The Cheat . There also seems to be a minor sound bug while Strong Bad has the jibblies.

Goofs

  • While the iPod in the background is meant to be a fifth generation model, the headphone port is placed in the top centre of the device like a fourth generation's, rather than at the top right.
  • If you try to find the flash file by changing .html to .swf, you will get the This Page Cannot Be Found page instead of the 404'd page.

Glitches

  • Due to the use of relative linking in the navbar, clicking on any of the links on the bottom of the page used to take you to a nonexistent page beginning with http://podstar.homestarrunner.com/, with the Store being the only exception. The links have since been fixed, so the paths now direct you back to a page on www.homestarrunner.com.
  • In the XML feed, the description of crying was the same as that of kids' book, namely "Strong Bad seriously defaces a children's book." This has since been fixed.
