== Biography ==
'''Strong Sad''' is the youngest of [[the Brothers Strong]]. He stands somewhere between [[Strong Bad]] and [[Strong Mad]] in height, and has large, elephant-like feet he calls "[[soolnds]]" (which, in the past, poachers have apparently offered thousands of dollars to obtain). His body is round and two shades of grey — a lighter grey from the waist up, a darker grey from the waist down. For some reason, however, [[Coach Z]] thinks he is yellow.{{ref|1}} Strong Sad's body makes the sound of an inflated rubber ball when hit — and according to Strong Sad, it is hit often. In [[One Two, One Two]], Strong Sad hits his belly rhythmically, as one of the selectable tracks. His head is white and has an odd lump on the top, referred to as a "disturbing soft-serve flip" by Strong Bad in [[keep cool]] (a trait shared by [[Mr. Bland]]). It is unclear whether or not he has teeth. Strong Bad claims that he does not, but Strong Sad was seen brushing his teeth in [[narrator]] and [[concert]]. He is usually very calm and soft-spoken, although he has become [[Hyperactive Strong Sad|hyperactive]] on occasion (at least once under the influence of [[Coffee|caffeine]]), and he has also temporarily (albeit ''involuntarily'') become a boisterous [[radio|radio DJ]] once or twice. The phrase "covered bridges" seems to be able to put him in some type of trance, as seen in "[[Fall Float Parade]]". He also has some sort of reaction to sunlight overexposure, causing him to become uncharacteristically happy,{{ref|2}} even if he did not enjoy it (at one point, he actually asks to be shot). Despite his pale skin, he has apparently never been sunburnt, though he became [[Somber Vacation|moonburnt]] on at least one occasion.

Once, Strong Sad's main defining characteristic was his chronic depression, which overshadowed his high levels of intelligence and creativity. He has even been quoted saying "Each day, we die a little more." several times. Lately, however he appears to have recovered and rarely expresses sadness. His many interests include listening, books, listening to books, calligraphy, safety, being alone, arts, crafts, and arts [[b/w]] crafts. He has outstanding penmanship, often writing poetry, which he then recites at his own "poetry slams". Strong Sad is seen using both his right and left hands to write and play the guitar, implying that he is [[Left Handedness|ambidextrous]]. He has been seen practicing [[Wikipedia:T'ai Chi Ch'üan|T'ai Chi]]. Strong Sad also enjoys playing [[board games]], and he seems to enjoy going to science-fiction and fantasy conventions, as seen in [[different town]] and [[TrogdorCon '97]]. He has an [[Strong Sad's iPod|iPod]], and he occasionally updates his [[Strong Sad's Lament|blog]] from time to time. Strong Sad's highly philosophical view on life has creeped out other characters more than once, most notably Strong Bad and [[Marzipan]]. Strong Sad may have a crush on Marzipan; he has occasionally lied to Marzipan just so he could spend time with her, as in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 10.2]]. However, he might just be trying to make friends with anyone he can.

[[Image:StrongSad 3D variation.PNG|thumb|"Look at that voluptuous belly."]]
Strong Sad has a love-hate relationship with his brother Strong Bad. It appears that the two [[The Secrets That I Keep|got along quite well]] when they were younger, but nowadays, Strong Sad suffers almost constant [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship#Strong Bad Hurting Strong Sad|abuse]] from Strong Bad. In particular, Strong Bad has quite a list of [[Nicknames#Strong Sad|names]] he has used to insult Strong Sad. Strong Sad has also been the subject of numerous practical jokes by Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and [[The Cheat]], ranging from being drilled a new navel by [[Lil' Strong Bad]] to being used as a [[The Stunt Double|stunt double]] for the [[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]] movies, to even having [[what I want|wildebeest pheromones]] washed into his laundry. In turn, Strong Sad holds a very low opinion of his brother and considers him to be a clueless weirdo. However, evidence from "The Secrets That I Keep" suggests that even though Strong Sad insults Strong Bad, he also looks up to him and misses the days when they got along. He seems to retain some degree of brotherly love toward Strong Bad: when the Tandy 400 exploded in the email [[gimmicks]], Strong Sad sincerely asked Strong Bad if he were all right, and wrote a letter wishing him well while Strong Bad was [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|incarcerated]]. However, he also stated that his brother's absence caused him to feel far happier with himself than usual, and that he turned Strong Bad's computer room into his tai chi space. He was also eager to help Strong Bad with his 150th email in [[Sbemail 150?!?]], and even managed to provide the background music for Strong Bad's [[Strong Bad Email Intros|email intro]] in [[alternate universe]].

Strong Sad's troubled relationship with Strong Bad seems to have affected his social interaction habits with the rest of the community of [[Free Country, USA]]. He is generally reclusive and has only a few friends — his [[Strong Sad and Homsar's Relationship |best friend]] appears to be [[Homsar]], and he plays Jenga with The Cheat on Tuesdays. Early in the site's history, [[Homestar Runner]] even counted Strong Sad as a friend, and still shows some signs of friendship towards him. He is often overlooked and ignored when he [[In Search of the Yello Dello New Version|has an idea]], and he is sometimes even [[Death#Strong Sad|believed to be dead]]. Despite all of this, he serves as a loyal officer in the [[Homestarmy]], temps at an unnamed computer company with Strong Bad and Homestar, and even has a [[Strong Sad Lookalike Contest]] held in his honor/insult each year.

Strong Sad seems to be the most rational of the characters, and often seems to react perplexedly to the others' cartoonish antics. He can often be found patiently correcting another's apparent mistakes, such as in [[TrogdorCon '97]] and [[technology]], or being [[Happy T!|entirely uncomprehending]] of the nonsensical events around him. He was even featured as the sole "[[Bear Holding a Shark]] Skeptic" in [[myths & legends]].

There may be more to him than meets the eye, however. Occasionally Strong Sad has done things that are not in line with his usually calm temperament: He [[rough copy|threw snowballs]] (saved in the freezer since he was eight) at Strong Bad, being [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship#Strong Sad's Revenge|physically violent]], and he had a long bout of maniacal laughter when it was revealed that he was behind the whole [[DNA Evidence]] event. Also, when he was coerced into being the security guard in Baddest of the Bands, he tasered Strong Bad whenever he annoyed him. He also states in his blog that his resolution for the new year is to not feel so bad about wanting to hit Homestar so much, which is another example of his violent self.

== Fun Facts ==
[[Image:480px-Manicouagan-EO.JPG‎|thumb|"The lake head?"]]
* [[Matt Chapman]] has said that Strong Sad is the most difficult character to voice due to how delicate he sounds. If Matt strains his voice too much before recording, he actually can't do Strong Sad at all (which led to Mike substituting for Strong Sad's one word in [[cheat talk]]).

* Strong Sad used to have an AOL Instant Messenger screenname of "depressio222". A fan registered the name, and after many questions as to why the Brothers Chaps had not reserved it beforehand, Strong Sad's IM changed to "depressio111117".
*Strong Sad was originally going to sound like [[Wikipedia:Michael Stipe|Michael Stipe]], but it was quickly rejected.
* In [[concert]], Strong Bad says the band [[sloshy]] appeals to "people that went to college." This may indicate that Strong Sad had a tertiary education. This seems to have been confirmed in [[independent]], in which Strong Sad claims to have "minored in holding on wide shots for too long" in film school.
* As seen in an Easter egg in [[pop-up]], Strong Sad's face has a striking resemblance to the [[Wikipedia:Manicouagan Reservoir|Manicouagan Reservoir]], a lake formed by a meteor impact in Quebec.
*Strong Sad only has three ribs according to [[Fan Costumes 07]].
*If exposed to sunlight too much, he forcibly [[Strong Sad Smiling|smiles]].
*He apparently cannot eat Twizzlers brand candy, as evidenced in [[fan club]]. He also spent two weeks at Gluten Camp in [[Weclome back]], and one exclusive [[Quote of the Week#QW-2009-03-05|Quote of the Week]] strongly suggests that he is on a gluten-restricted diet.
*Strong Sad's real name might be '''Strong Sad Raymond Jenkins''', as mentioned by [[Strong Bad]] in [[Homestar Ruiner]].

== blink? ==

Could someone explain why Homestar's picture blinking is considered a "goof"? To me, it is something to be noted, since it is unusual, but how do we know it was not done intentionally? Clearly, TBC used a movie clip of H*R, and it gives the picture a funny Harry Potter feel. It doesn't seem like an error. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 17:55, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
: If they wanted to give it a "funny Harry Potter feel", the whole picture would have moved. Meanwhile, the "Homestar" object they use is always rigged to blink, and sometimes they've been known to forget when showing Homestar in in-universe photographs. If the sheep chewing grass in the paused KoT video is a Goof, then so is this. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:03, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
::With that explanation, it's more make-sense. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 18:05, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

::::I say it's not a goof, but a mystery. I watch Homestar flash movies with Firefox with a "pause flash" extension I use sometimes. And, bizarrely, Homestar's eyes blink ''even when the flash is paused''. --Hexagonal, an unregistered user.
:::::Yeah, it's because the loop of Homestar's Eyes blinking is a Flash movie clip, which animates continuously. (See [[Homestar Runner#Homestar's Eyes|this]] for more information) {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 23:54, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

its just like the wiki's homestar
:If TBC do something notable by accident, it's a goof. If TBC do something notable on purpose, then it's a remark. To me, using a blinking Homestar in a photo is clearly a deliberate attempt by TBC to slip in a little humour that most of their viewers won't spot straight away (since their attention is on something else). Hence, I'd describe it as a remark, not a goof. In fact, if I was allowed to be supreme emperor of the wiki for just one day, I would move all these blinking facts to Remarks. Please explain to me how TBC are "known to forget" about leaving this Flash movie clip in inappropiate places. Considering the amount of time they spend creating each animation, they'd easily notice this blinking movie clip and could simply swap it for a static image of Homestar's eyes if so desired. Do you have any transcripts of interviews where they specifically mention their habit of making this so-called mistake? If so, fine. If not, I stand by my rant. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 18:44, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
::I see no humor in them doing it on purpose. It's a lot more believable and frankly, more likely that they forgot to swap out the animation, as it just uses the same flash object. Also, if you were supreme emperor for one day, then the day after that, there'd be a lot of reverting going on. But i digress. The point is, it's more likely unintentional, so unless we have an interview that says it's on PURPOSE, i think it should remain a goof. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:47, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
:::I can see where it'd be humorous. A better question, I think is, are there instances of Homestar being in static pictures where he doesn't blink? (I don't know the answer) If so, it's likely that this is a goof, but if he blinks ''every'' time he's in a picture, I think that that's evidence for it being intentional. I don't think they'd forget so often. Essentially, my question is, which happens more often: Pictures of Homestar blink, or they do not? -[[Special:Contributions/140.247.11.38|140.247.11.38]] 22:18, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Is it just me, or did the "brellow crown" incident happen directly after the end of DNA Evidence? As Strong Sad walks in, he says to his crayon, "Oh, yellow crayon, only you know what REALLY happened!" (Maybe he means the crayon knows why the site was non-updated for so long, I don't know.)

== Lumper? ==

I realize it's ambiguous, but am I the only person who heard "lumple" ? It rhymes with dumple, and sounds adorable. I'm imagining a wee pre-duckshirt Homestar being positively cute and doing what a lumple does.

== The "lack of visible arms" mystery perhaps deepens ==

Homestar demonstrates the primary uses of the brellow crown, and when the sheets of paper appear on screen, they come from the bottom and he waves the crown around them as though they're really in front of him, rather than them just being animated in front of him "in post".

So that's four objects total, manipulated at once, which I would think notable enough to be a "Remark" if we're all in agreement that he is in fact manipulating those objects. It breaks his record of three objects (is that his record?) in [[the_show|the show]]. (For those who don't feel like checking, he holds a mic, requiring one arm, and manipulates a small deck of cards, requiring two more.)

What does everybody else think?
[[User:Psi|Psi]] 01:15, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

:Everything you say is true (Well, the show isn't the only time he's manipulated 3 things. See the gross old wig). Still, I dunno if it's notable enough. -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.17|128.103.10.17]] 01:17, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
::Well, I think that it's possible for him to use only three arms, by doing this:
::*Holding the brœllow crayon with one arm.
::*Picking up the toast drawing with another.
::*Picking up the "zornets" drawing with the third.
::*Transferring the "zornets" drawing from the third arm to the second (by using his... ''fingers?'').
::*Doing the same with the sun drawing.
::But still, he ''could'' be using four arms, to save him the trouble of shuffling the papers a bit. But he doesn't appear to have much trouble holding his papers, so I guess he's using four arms. So... never mind. But it's possible that he only used three arms! — {{User:Fotoshop/sig}} 03:19, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

== Homestar's email address ==

I remember seeing homestar's email address in another toon, but I don't remember which. His character page doesn't mention his email address either. What is the significance of the dj-whatever? Should it be a fun fact in this article? --[[Special:Contributions/67.161.16.203|67.161.16.203]] 03:24, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
:Have a look at [[email thunder]]; that's the other place you saw it. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:25, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

== Mumbling ==

I'm not sure if this should be added to the page, but it seemed to me that Homestar's mumbling in the colonial days scene was similar to the noises Homestar made when demonstrating the secret handshake of the [[Broternal Order of Different Helmets]].--[[Special:Contributions/151.197.125.35|151.197.125.35]] 05:52, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
: It's just mumbling, really. Can't say there's enough similarity. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:46, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

== Crowns ==

Homestar isn't really calling crayons "crowns," he's just pronouncing the word that way. The crown spelling is probably most accurate for the transcript, but other references should be spelled properly (crayon). That is, he says, "brellow crown," but he has a brellow crayon. This is a somewhat common pronunciation of the word in certain areas of the US. Google 'pronounce crayons crowns' (no quotes) and you'll see plenty of evidence.
:Agree. No one calls crayons "crowns", but apparently a significant number of people (a few I've known personally) pronounce "crayon" such that it sounds that way. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.151.94|132.183.151.94]] 16:32, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
::Yes. This is definately "crayons" pronounced with HR's accent. There's even a syllable in the making the finished word sound "cwou-ons" If it was "crowns" I would'nt have put that hyphen there. {{User:Strongkinghomsarsmith/sig}} 00:26, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

:I was going to mention that too. I also noticed that the shadow on the soles of his feet is lighter now. [[User:Omnisweater|Omnisweater]] 20:41, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

== Homestar's Computer ==

I distinctly remember in email thunder that Homestar had the Happy8600 for a computer. Why does he now have the Arturo 9000? Did anyone else notice this?

:: We've discussed this in [[secret identity|another toon]], and it's just as incorrect here as it was then. Rule of thumb:
::* If you can replace "[person] and I" with "us", then it should be "me". If with "we", then it should be "I". ("Last up on the tour is this photo of we"???)
::* If you remove "person" from the sentence, then the pronoun will remain the same. ("Last up on the tour is this photo of I"???)

== Twenty Twelve ==

It's been added to the page at least twice, so let me just squish this annoying little "fact": first of all, there's no evidence that the Mayans believed the world would end in 2012; that's just how far their calendar went (for reasons similar to the fact 2000 is significant; ie. numerical reasons, not actual ''significance'' reasons.) Secondly, the calendar ends in ''December'' of 2012, not July! And one more thing: it has nothing to do with this toon. They could have picked 2011 or 2020 or whatever and the joke (such that there was one) would have been the same. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 10:35, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Does Strong Bad imply that he is not human? Has this ever happened before?
:I was wondering about that myself. I know it was in a quick joke, and may not hold a lot of weight, but I think something like whether or not you're human isn't something that you casually contradict in a joke with out paying attention. You wouldn't say "It looks just like me except with a human nose" even as a joke, unless it was already given that you weren't human, or at least weren't considered human.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 08:36, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
::well, no matter how you look at it, he ''doesn't'' have a human nose, just like how homestar and the like don't have arms or pants, and those are mentioned all the time, too. i don't think it has much bearing on ''what'' anybody is. --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 08:54, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:::Except he said "human nose". It would have been just like Homestar's arms if he just said "nose". The humor in that, just like the humor in [[fingers]] is adding something to him that he should have but obviously doesn't. It's the same way with the word human. The humor in adding a human nose to him is that he has no nose and he's not human.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 09:00, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
::::Naw, i agree with Neumannz, it's not notable beyond his lack of a visible one, whether he said human or not. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 09:02, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:::::I think that "human" here was intended to mean "realistic". These are not cartoon noses, or animal noses. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 09:08, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
::::::I'm with E.L. Cool on this one. I definitely think he meant shaped noses, with nostrils and a bridge and all that good stuff, as opposed to a simple little ball nose, like the one Stro Bro has on the side of the Puddin' Patch. -- [[User:Onamuji|Onamuji]] 12:57, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

== A mousy description? / Coach Z can't talk. ==

First, I'm not sure about that description of the Cheat's mural picture. His pudginess and distinctive, if unlabelled, jar of Hunny seem to suggest Winnie the Pooh to me. (The antennae, obviously, are out of place.)

Second, does Coach Z say "You're toys" or "You're twice"? I definitely heard the latter, which I can imagine him saying because he's weird, but the former makes sense too. Any thoughts? -- [[User:Onamuji|Onamuji]] 12:54, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

== Shut up, lady! ==

Have this voice and Strong Bad's response appeared enough times now for us to consider it a running gag? I know it occurred in [[bottom 10]], and I think one other...though I wouldn't swear to it. -- [[User:Onamuji|Onamuji]] 12:59, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:as noted in inside references, the second one was [[your funeral]]. i don't know enough about the rules of running gags to say whether this should be considered one. --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 16:12, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

The "Jungle Animals in Non-Jungle Situations" thing reminds me heavily of the Cartoon Network show "My Gym Partner is a Monkey." Anyone else?

: I think "Shut up, Lady" should be considered a running gag. Three instances have warranted others to be added if my memory serves my correctly.

== Gunkistan? ==

Why got the Facts about Gunkistan being a portmanteau and a inside reference to Gunk Iller deleted?

:It may be because they're wrong...The portmanteau is less obviously incorrect, but technically -stan and is a suffix, a word in some language (Arabic) meaning "land," which is why it's used at the end of so many countries (Afghanistan = Land of the Afghanis, Kazakhstan = Land of the Kazakhs, etc.). This would make it not a portmanteau. As for the other one, being a reference to the Gunk Iller, I see no reason why this was up there in the first place. Gunk is a very common term for any gross, ambiguous substance.

::I disagree with you on the portmanteau subject. if you look at the [[Portmanteaus]] page you'll notice "Millionzoic", "Tenthennial" and "Geographist", all words with a general suffix. Gunkistan should be there too. Maybe I was a little off by saying that it's in particular park Pakistan, but that's the only country that have the letter K to form -kistan (Gun-Kistan). I'm not readding it still so it won't start to be and edit war, but I think it should be discussed. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 21:59, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

== Old Lady ==

Now that the Old Lady made a third appearance, should we revive her page? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 16:34, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

== Two things ==
1.) Are we sure Homestar is singing "broken glass?" because I heard "working class". 2.) Will the shady daycare be haunting anybody else's nightmares or just mine?

:"Working Class" makes no sense. The pinatas were filled with broken glass as evidenced by the multiple lacerations and shards on Homestar's face. Since Strong Bad asked Homestar to reveal what was contained there-in. In true Homestar way he sung it. [[User:Stribbs|Stribbs]] 17:37, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:1) definitely broken glass, 2) just yours --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 17:51, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

:"Working Class" makes so much more sense that its more than a little surprising that someone would post it. The fact that they did it anonymously makes me wonder if it was another trollish post designed to incite an argument. Its a wonder that someone didn't call this person names. -[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]]

<blockquote>The cover of "Jungle Animals in Decidedly Non-Jungle Situations" has a variation of The Cheat similar to The Lion King (The Cheat resembles Zazu) and Toucan Sam, mascot of Froot Loops. The other is Cinderella.</blockquote> This is in desperate need of rewording, but first we need to decide what we're doing with it. It can't be Zazu and Toucan Sam. Isn't that TTATOT? I don't really think it's either. It's just a toucan. A random jungle animal. Also, are we sure the other DVD is a play on Cinderella? It seems likely, but not certain. But if so, it needs to be worded better.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 21:01, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

:Or is it just generally agreed that it's pointless to mention any of that crap? I'm for that, too.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 21:11, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
::I think the refernce to Zazu can go, but Toucan Sam should stay. The Cheat looks nothing like Zazu, beyond the blue color and big beak, nor does he look much like a real toucan, but the striped beak gives him a strinking resemlance to Toucan Sam. {{User:Exhibit A/sig}} 21:15, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

== Bioshock Reference? ==

Does the singing child at the daycare remind anyone else of the 2nd little sister sighting in Bioshock? The little sister is heard singing a song to the same tune, in a very creepy way. The fact that they're both singing the same tune, both children and the fact that it is very creepy in both cases suggests a reference, no?

:Senor Cardgage is not a child. And it's a common kid's tune. And Senor is always creepy, so it might not be a reference. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:31, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

::That's what I was thinking too. It's a lollipop, not a toothbrush. Evidence: electric toothbrushes don't spin like that, there is no evidence of bristles of any kind, it's extremely lollipop-shaped, and the usage of words like "rot the teeth out of" and "sugar". Also, given the other unlicensed merch (and unlicensed merch in general), a spinning lollipop fits much better than a toothbrush. As such, the explanation about novelty toothbrushes should either be reworded or outright destroyed. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:52, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm glad there's finally a table for this section (as well as the weekly fanstuff.)

In the Sketchbook window, I see the words "homestar ice crusher", but from there up it's the old picture of Strong Mad holding his mystical orbs.

== Commas vs. Periods ==

I'll grant that commas and periods are barely distinguishable from each other in the caption font. But you can tell the difference by looking very closely. Commas have the smallest tail imaginable. Compare:

If you cannot see a slight dip (just a pixel or two) in the comma images, copy all three of them to MS Paint (or whatever), zoom in, and compare the commas and periods. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:53, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

I vote Super Troopers. Its about police. The stormtrooper Poopsmith is obviously a form of police. Referencing pooperscoopers makes *no* contextual sense. I'm changing it back. [[User:Piscez]]

:Here's what bugs me. When you say, "this '''is''' a reference to..." you are stating something is fact. In this case, we all have our opinions, and each think ours are correct. The fact '''is''' that none of were there when TBC sketched this out and don't have a flippin' clue what they were refering to. Therefore, I propose the following revision:

The caption could be a reference to the device [[Wikipedia:pooper-scooper|pooper-scoopers]], the movie [[Wikipedia:Super_Troopers|Super Troopers]], the [[wikipedia:Mario|Super Mario Brothers']] [[Wikipedia:Koopa|Koopa Troopas]], or the [[wikipedia:George_Lucas|George Lucas']] [[Wikipedia:Stormtroopers|stormtroopers]].

{{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 12:44, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

In general, users here seem to think "refers to" means "resembles". IRF is right; only TBC know for sure about what's a reference. Some are obvious, but I'm sure there are a lot of references we'll never get. And then there are a lot of things that resemble other things but TBC never were trying to refer to that thing. I think as a knowledge base we need to be a bit more conservative in how we decide references. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 12:50, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

''Stormtroopers'' seems the most obvious reference. Not the George Lucas kind, but rather the Hitler/Orwell kind. (Those of you who are still somewhat whippersnapperesque should be aware that the term predated ''Star Wars'' by a great many years.) Most of the other suggested references seem to be simple attempts to match up same or similar sounding words, rather than considering the actual ''context''. {{User:Bill/sig}} 17:03, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

:Storm troopers is what I was saying all along. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:32, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

ok then ''Sketches of [[The Poopsmith]] as a trooper, for [[disconnected]]. The caption could be a reference to the device [[Wikipedia:pooper-scooper|pooper-scoopers]], the movie [[Wikipedia:Super_Troopers|Super Troopers]], the [[wikipedia:Mario|Super Mario Brothers']] [[Wikipedia:Koopa|Koopa Troopas]], or [[Wikipedia:Stormtroopers|stormtroopers]] (from [[wikipedia:World_War_I|WWI]]).''

either way, its still spec at best, and in response to Bill, the usage of pooper cannot be ignored why else would TBC go from The Poopsmith to pooper if not trying to make a ryhme such as Super Trooper or refer to the legendary pooper scooper. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 17:48, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
:For the rhyme, perhaps. Just because the rhyme is funny. Doesn't have to be a reference to pooper or super. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 17:54, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

My two cents: Pooper Scooper and Stormtrooper are both meaningful enough to be included. "Super Trooper" and "Koopa Troopa" are both based on "Stormtrooper" and, thus, unnecessary. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:05, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Ahem. I would Like to add at this point that the Koopa Troopas were the second most common enemies (next to goombas) in the original Super Mario Bros., which came out BEFORE Star Wars: A New Hope. So if anything, Stormtroopers are based off of Koopa Troopas. (Very, very unlikely.) --{{User:The very strongest}} 12:35, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

:See my retraction above, storm troopers is a term that refers to certain soldiers at the end of WWI, which is pre-television. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 21:28, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

== Super Suudsu Me ==

Feels like the 5-month-old suudsu is a reference to the French fry aging experiment in [[Wikipedia:Super Size Me|Super Size Me]]. But I haven't seen the film, so I don't know how direct the connection is. Anyone want to do a little fact-checking here? --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 17:54, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
:I haven't seen it either, but the fact that this was posted five months to the day after [[bedtime story]] was released says to me that nobody actually ''drank'' the suudsu or dumped it out, and it's just been sitting there. It actually reminds me of the old clichè of the guy with the extremely dirty bedroom finally trying to clean it up and pulling out a half-eaten sandwich or burrito from under the bed and exclaiming "So ''that's'' what happened to my sandwich [burrito]." And by then it's covered with mold and he's got to shoo a [[Gavin|roach]] or two away from it before he touches it. The only specific example I can think of right now is from [[Wikipedia:Even Stevens]] (the episode where a haz mat team is needed to clean Louis's room and he has to sleep in Donnie's room.

== The Bendy Hop ==

It's really not a big deal, but I feel confident enough about it to post a comment on this talk page. I think that the "bendy hop" is a particular reference to the [[Wikipedia:Lindy Hop|lindy hop]], for the following reasons: (1) the titles differ only by two letters, (2) Coach Z's pose looks strongly like a typical swing/jazz dance step, of which the Lindy Hop is probably the most famous.

It was suggested that this might be more likely a reference to the [http://www.ehow.com/how_15790_bunny-hop.html bunny hop], but I question this, for the following reasons: this dance is less well-known (I base this, perhaps unjustly, on the relative size of the Wikipedia articles), and Coach Z's pose doesn't resemble the dance steps as described in the above link. (The bunny hop is a line dance involving other people and focuses on foot steps but not arm movements.) If we can rule out the bunny hop, then I don't think this fact is TTATOT, unless other candidates for "that" and "the other thing" exist.

Again, it won't break my heart if this fact is not changed back to my version, but I really do think that this is a particular reference to the lindy hop. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 01:09, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

:When I first saw the Sketchbook item and was preparing the screencap, I considered including the reference to a particular dance.

We can never know which one was the reference. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:01, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

== possible goof? ==

When you play peg strongsad, if you hit the spacebar when the ball is on the far right, the ball hits the scoreboard and the score goes up one, sparks fly out of it, and it makes a sparking type sound. but the sound plays before the ball hits it. anyone else.. care? :P i'd put it on the page myself but my edits always get rv'd--[[User:Collin|Collin]] 18:46, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
edit: this is mentioned in the [[Peg Strong Sad]] page, but still.
:In my experience, images and sound in these Flash dealies often get out of sync depending on my computer speed. I don't know whether that's the case here or not, but it should be taken into consideration. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 18:52, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Under 'glitches', it says: ''When you select "rt arm", it actually moves Bubs's left arm, and when you select "lt arm," it moves his right arm.''

Erm, then couldn't one comfortably assume that the 'rt arm' and 'lt arm' refers to the viewer's left or right? Seeing as no-one is going to view this page for a few months I'll '''be bold'''. --[[User:195.92.67.69|195.92.67.69]] 17:40, 29 Jan 2005 (MST)

:Don't be so sure that no one will read this; some users monitor every single edit. As for the "glitch," you're absolutely correct. Thank you for removing it. -- [[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 18:06, 29 Jan 2005 (MST)

Why does everyone say that the first music clip is a banjo? I play the banjo, and it doesn't sound at all like that.

It's the name of the song. Or, more accuratley, the URL of the song. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 04:41, 27 Aug 2005 (UTC)

The "banjo" and "Everybody! Everybody!" files seems to be removed. You can't listen to them, and the links is 404'D! Why the files disappeared? Any toughts? --[[User:81.230.154.89|81.230.154.89]] 14:38, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Works fine for me... {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 15:17, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Just like some files on the [[Secret Pages]], the "banjo" and "breakbeat" files go 404'd from time to time and that is why 81.230.154.89 above experienced silence instead of the music. Just try again at a later date.{{User:The Paper/sig}}

I get that problem too, I actually added it to the glitches section and it got removed, but if this a known and apparent problem shouldn't be in the wiki? --[[User:68.40.0.189|68.40.0.189]] 08:45, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Me 2. Banjo and everybody are gone, and the links are 404'd! WHAT'S GOING ONNNN!!!!!!!! {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 19:58, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
:All four currently work for me. Like The Paper said, they go down from time to time, but they still exist most of the time. [[User:Spell4yr|Spell4yr]] 20:09, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

I don't hear them, but I used to be able to.--[[User:Jnelson09|Jnelson09]] 21:54, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

==Original files?==
Does anyone have a copy of the original music swf files used by this game? They were changed a few yers ago from the originals. (which explains the mis-names)

Finally, someone addresses, or acknowledges, the old clips... (see also "Renegade Master" on main page 4). If no one has these clips, does anyone at least know what they were? I remember "Banjo" as being some sort of Earl Scruggs-type piece, like "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" or something (i.e. actually a banjo). The other filenames are "breakbeat," "money," and "drumnbass." Do those trigger any memories? --[[User:Agnamaracs|Agnamaracs]] 06:16, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[[Image:spinandsay.PNG|thumb|The Strong Sad says "Each day, we die a little more."]]

'''Spin 'n Say''' is a Homestar variation on a popular children's toy. When the cord is pulled, the arrow spins around and when it lands on the various main [[Characters|characters]], they say funny things.

Rather than being random like the real toy, the Homestar Runner Spin 'n Say goes through all of the characters in a pre-set order.

This game can be found on the [[Handheld Games Menu]].

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' I check ''e''-mail from the front to the back, I said check ''e''-mail from the front to the back I said check...

''{reading}''

Dear Strong Bad, ''{Strong Bad repeats this line three times with different emphases, stopping halfway through the third time saying "Hmm, I'll go with that one."}''

<blockquote class="email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
When you go fishing, do you use any 
sort of special lure or jig to 
attract the fishs? 
 
David Jacobus 
Astoria, NY</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says lure as "lyooer", and "fishs" as "fishes...ss..."}''

''{fade out and fade back in to "Fish Show With Strong Bad and Coach Z". Strong Bad and Coach Z are in a boat on a lake. Coach Z has a pole, Strong Bad does not. Coach Z is wearing a fisherman cap, Strong Bad has a farmer's tan.}''

'''COACH Z''': Say, Strong Bad, what type'a lure are you usin' dere?

'''STRONG BAD''': Well, this morning, Coach, I've been mostly using this one: Hey fish! Hey fiish! I'm gonna, I'm gonna recommend that you guys come up here in the boat. We've got a, uh, a keg! Of worms! And, uh...phytoplankton! ... Come on! Anybody who's everybody is up in here!

'''COACH Z''': I don't think that's gonna work with a stocked pond. You got any type of jig you could try on there?

'''STRONG BAD''': Oh, yeah! I got ''this'' jig! ''(starts singing and doing a little hip-swiveling dance)'' Come on and get in the boat, fish! Come on and get in the boat, fish fish! Come on and get in the boat, fish! ''{fish start leaping into the boat}'' Get in the boat!

'''COACH Z''': Oh! They got in the boat! ... Fish fish!

''{Cut back to Compy}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' Actually, David, it may surprise you to hear this but, uh... I don't know anything about fishing, man. You're welcome to try the jig thing if you want. Though it might work better with the ladies. ''{stops typing}'' You know, like, {''singing''} come on and come to my house, ladies! Come on and come to my house, girls girls! ''{stops singing, resumes typing}'' Actually, ''{chuckles shyly}'' I don't really know anything about the ladies either. I mean I do! I mean—WHGT! JGTH! YES I'M AWESOME!

''{Strong Bad runs out of the room. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:fishinggame.PNG|thumb|"This is the pinnacle of graphics."]]
*At the end, click on the word "fishing" to play [[Fishing Challenge '91]] with Strong Bad.
:''{The screen of the Compy displays the title screen for "Fishing Challenge '91"}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Whoa, look at that title screen! Man, the 386 never ceases to amaze me!
:''{After you press the spacebar, the screen shows the instructions on how to play}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' No way! This is the pinnacle of graphics. They're never gonna get any better than this. I bet the sound's just as good, too!

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The "Fishing Challenge '91" Easter Egg did not exist when the email originally came out. It was added months later.

===Remarks===
*This is the first Strong Bad Email that immediately cuts to another scene, instead of Strong Bad responding first.
*This is also the first time Strong Bad has ever openly admitted to knowing nothing about the ladies.
*Coach Z's eyes are a little brighter than their regular black.
*Strong Bad has a tan line while in the boat. This suggests at some time, he was wearing a shirt.

===Glitches===
*If you get the score up to 10,000 in Fishing Challenge '91, it goes back to 1,000. You still have 10,000 points—it just doesn't display the last digit.
*If you press "j" and "l" very fast in Fishing Challenge '91, the noise will become staticky and you won't be able to hear Strong Bad say anything.
*When you play the game at the end, the contrast knobs still work, except the screen turns whiter.

===Inside References===
*The sound at the beginning and end of the fishing scene is also used in [[A Jorb Well Done]] while Coach Z is dreaming.
*[[Minor Companies|Totalsoft Electronicals]] ending with ",,." is a reference to the logo on the [[Thorax Corporation]] website, which ends the same way.

===Real-World References===
*This email may be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Bert and Ernie|Bert and Ernie]] skit called "Bert and Ernie Go Fishing." In the skit, Ernie gets fish to leap into the boat by calling, "Heeeere fishy fishy fishy!" Bert eventually tries this technique too, louder and louder. Finally, a shark jumps in and says, "You called?"
*The "Fishing Challenge '91" game resembles many early '90s PC games that featured grainy digital voice and pixelated "photo-realistic" graphics with limited frames.

== DVD Version ==
*While the Fishing Game isn't playable, you can still watch Strong Bad play it.
**There's also additional dialog. The transcript of the additional dialog (which picks up right where the Easter egg transcript above ends), is given below.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

=== Easter Egg Transcript ===
''{After catching several fish (including a large, red one), text flashes on the screen reading "Congrats! You caught the big one!}''
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' I can safely say this is the most fulfilling video gaming experience I've ever had in-a my whole life.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''MATT:''' ''{joining in with Strong Bad}'' to the back as I check. This is a good one. We should turn ''that'' into a hip-hop song.

'''MIKE:''' This, um, one, our friend Jamie was—

'''MATT:''' No, this was when Nat was here. Nat was the one tha—

'''MIKE:''' This was the one when Jamie was here!

'''MATT:''' Jamie was there for the, uh, leftover emails, Unused Emails.

'''MIKE:''' Ohhh, yeah, this is Nat. That's right.

'''MATT:''' Nat was here.

'''MIKE:''' I forgot, sorry. Sorry, Jamie. Sorry, Nat.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I get you guys mixed up sometimes.

''{Matt laughs a little}''

'''MIKE:''' So.

'''MATT:''' Here it comes.

'''MIKE:''' Ahhh.

'''MATT:''' So that's, our—

'''MIKE:''' Fishing with John.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, reference to Jim Jarmusch episode of Fishing with John, which you should all buy on-

'''MIKE:''' ''{imitating Jim Jarmusch}'' Why am I here?

'''MATT:''' ''{imitating Jim Jarmusch}'' Why am I here? ''{stops}'' That was a good one.

'''MIKE:''' Uhh, I enjoyed making the uh, I like the mist. The mist on the bottom there.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, the mist is really good. Those cattails—

'''MIKE:''' The ripples along the boat. This is, and we had to do a whole new view of Coach Z there.

'''MATT:''' It's a whole new way to experience Coach Z.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, this is a ''{Matt says something that's hard to make out}'' This is some scenery that's never happened, never been reused.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. We never ended up—

'''MIKE:''' There's very few... most things, we end up reusing, but this, we've never reused. I think I might, uh, reuse it next week.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Next week's email, they're gonna be in a lake!

'''MATT:''' ''{weak voice}'' Okay, Mike. Look, there, it's funny.

'''MIKE:''' He's got, uh, a farmer's tan of a tank-top.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, look at those fish. Those fish are kind of funny looking. ''{imitating Jim Jarmusch}'' Why am I here? ''{pause}'' This is one of those other times, it's another recurring trend, with Strong Bad sort of tipping his hand in letting you know that he doesn't know anything about women. Uh, which I don't know why he ends up doing a lot, ''{Mike laughs in the background}'' but he kinda has to let you see his sensitive side, I guess. And then, whgt! Jgth!

=== Fun Facts ===
*"Fishing with John" was a satirical fishing show starring, written, and directed by independent musician [[Wikipedia:John Lurie|John Lurie]], known for both its interesting selection of guest stars (including director [[Wikipedia:Jim Jarmusch|Jim Jarmusch]]) and very dry sense of humor. It only ran for 6 episodes and is considered something of a cult classic.
*Mike mentioning he'd like to reuse the lake is foreshadowing for [[montage]], when he finally would use the scene again. Montage was released in the short time after this commentary was recorded, and before the box set of [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]]s were released.
