'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' That's a good point, KS. With the summer months all up on us, I'll probably be going shirtless more often than usual. I know one thing the ladies love more than a regular Strong Bad is a lightly toasted Strong Bad. ''{clears screen}'' And I guess it'll help to accentuate my abdominal muscles and my abs, and my cloits. They're already bulging all over the place as it is, but I guess a little more definition wouldn't kill me.

Contents

Fun Facts

Explanations

  • The use of "^_~" to represent a wink is an example of an emoticon. An emoticon, also called a smiley, is a sequence of printable characters such as :) or :-) that is intended to represent a facial expression and convey an emotion. Emoticons that can be understood without turning one's head to the side are often considered to be of East Asian style.
  • The first bucket says "Animal Phat." Phat is a slang word meaning "cool," although it's intended to mean actual fat in this case. This ties in with the second phrase on the bucket: "It's lard, yo!," both a reference to the bucket's contents and the play on words.

Trivia

  • The emailer refers to japanese cartoon.
  • According to the commentary on the DVD:
    • Matt actually once had a stuffed lobster named Gooblies.
    • The sunglasses the King of Town wears actually belong to Marzipan. They were based on an old pair Matt had, which he broke while shooting the Fhqwhgads karaoke video for the DVD.
    • The Cloitsterizer was actually an item that Matt and Mike saw a kid dragging in a thrift store.
  • Marzipan is carrying a toothpick parasol one would normally receive with a tropical drink, only hers seems to be much larger than normal.

Remarks

  • Abdominal muscles, abs, and cloits are essentially the same thing.
  • According to the instructions of the Ab-Abber 2000, all you get is the box itself and the instructions, as the marker is not included.
  • Strong Bad appears to be sunburned after he lies in the sun for 6-8 hours, but doesn't appear to be feeling any pain.
  • Strong Bad draws hatching on his abs on the opposite side of the shading on his body, as though the lighting was coming from two different directions.

Goofs

  • The abs drawn on Strong Sad's stomach have the bizarre side effect of making his belly button completely disappear.
  • When Strong Bad draws the abs on, his legs are in front of his body.
  • When Strong Bad says "Her name was Email" in the email song, parts of his mask, though they appear cut asdfsdsfaf Ad_Feces

Inside References

  • When showing the commercial of the Ab-Abber 2000, the music that plays is taken from action figure.
  • This is another instance of Strong Bad smiling.
  • This is another appearance of the letter G.

Real-World References

  • The facial hair on the man in the instructions is very similar to the style that was adopted by Frank Zappa.
  • The term thousandaire was used in Rocky & Bullwinkle's Fractured Fairy Tales in a parody of Little Red Riding Hood, where one of the wolf's lines is "I'm on my way to being a thousandaire!" Hundredaire, on the other hand, is purely Strong Bad.
  • Sharpies are a brand of permanent marker.
  • The "Like on the TV!!!" sticker is a reference to the "As Seen on TV" logo seen on many products that were at one point advertised via commercial or infomercial.

Fast Forward

DVD Version

  • The Homsar celebrity testimonial is automatically enabled, so no selecting is required.
  • The DVD version features hidden audio commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

Commentary Transcript

(Commentary by: Matt Chapman, Mike Chapman, Marzipan)

MATT: Welcome to "suntan."

MIKE: We're joined here by Marzipan once again.

MARZIPAN: That's right.

MIKE: What do you think of that song? That's a little more tender side of Strong— Strong Bad, Marzipan.

MARZIPAN: He has this— He, he does have a tender side.

{pause}

MIKE: Say something else.

MARZIPAN: Well, I'm listening right now.

MIKE: Okay.

MARZIPAN: I, I liked this e-mail...

MIKE: I like your, um... Well, we'll talk about it when it comes on.

MARZIPAN: Okay.

MATT: I remember we did this, it was kind of— Didn't I just come back from a vacation and actually had a pretty bad, pretty bad sunburn?

MIKE: {overlapping} Yeah, so, timely.

MARZIPAN: That's true. You know, and after this e-mail for the next few months, uh, Matt and Mike both kept drawing abs on their bodies and going around shirtless in the studio. {Mike laughs} It was very distracting for most of us ladies.

MIKE: I wish I could have that towel. ANTS!!!!

MATT: Really?

MIKE: Those are pretty sweet.

MATT: They're modeled after these, uh, glasses I have for sunchaps {unintelligible}

MARZIPAN: Really?

MATT: Yeah. {short pause} That I actually just broke when we were doing the, uh, the half-pipe stuff for the karaoke video for "Everybody to the Limit."

MIKE: {overlapping} Oh, yeah.

MATT: They're broken now.

MIKE: You can watch that. If you watch closely, you can see the glasses fall off.

MARZIPAN: {gasps watching her character enter frame on the e-mail} Oh! That is the, um, the umbrella from Mike's cocktail.

MIKE: Yeah.

MARZIPAN: I just grabbed that at the last minute; I thought it really added to the scene.

MIKE: Yeah, I really like that.

MATT: It's clearly— yeah, it's clearly just a cocktail umbrella though, made large. {short pause} Now here's my favorite song. {Strong Bad says, "Do-do do" in the email} That's a good song.

MIKE: "Do-do do"?

MATT: MEGA MAN 3 AUDSHAIODNDOIASND


ANd then Mike FREAKINGE XPLODES


dsaadsaadMARZIPAN: Fortunately, I never sweat.

MIKE: {amused} Really?

MARZIPAN: Yeah.

MATT: Yeah, wait, see? Look, Marzipan's eyes were backwards!

MIKE: {overlapping} Yeah, yeah, you're right, you're right.

MATT: I, I apologize, Marzipan, on behalf of my brother Mike.

MARZIPAN: It made working very difficult that day. {Mike chuckles}

MATT: I bet. {pause} Did our friend Tobin coin that phrase? Or does he just use it?

MIKE: "Hundredaire"?

MATT: Yeah.

MIKE: I don't know; it's possible.

das MIKE: Think it's Strong Bad.

MATT: Think it's Strong Bad himself.

MIKE: He's a character from our website. {Matt chuckles}

MATT: The background is great, Mike; it's very true to the, to the infomercial—
