'''Li'l Brudder''' is a drawing of a one-legged [[Dogs|puppy]] that [[Strong Bad]] uses to make everyone cry, and to crack himself up. According to Strong Bad, he can make it on his own, and he's going to one day "be a quarterback" that will "throw for 2000 yards." Whenever anyone (or at least [[Homestar Runner]] and [[The Cheat]]) sees this picture, they promptly burst into tears. He even managed to tear up the mighty Strong Bad himself, who then ran off, saying he had "a food in the oven".

According to Strong Bad, he is NOT named after Strong Sad. The character of [[Tendafoot]], on the other hand, is based on Strong Sad.

According to the [[SXSW Panel - 14 Mar 2005|2005 SXSW Panel]] featuring the [[The Brothers Chaps]], a stand-alone Li'l Brudder cartoon was started, though originally abandoned. Footage was shown of a logo and Li'l Brudder scraping his way across the screen.

The Brothers Chaps did eventually complete the solo cartoon, calling it "The Li'l Brudder and Maybe Tendafoot Too Show!" It always brings Homestar Runner to tears. On the show, he is friends with Tendafoot, a no-legged [[The Dregs#Parrot|parrot]] and a [[The Dregs#Possum|possum]] with a human nose for a face.

The reason as to why he has only one leg was revealed in The Li'l Brudder Show: his mother was a beagle, but his father was a unicycle.

The, "I can make it on my own," catchphrase comes from [[invisibility]], where it appears in the Easter egg as one of the messages on the screen of the trashed [[Tandy 400]].

[[Image:Slimed_Marzipan.PNG|thumb|You can't do that on Homestar Runner]]
The programming of the long-running children's channel '''[[Wikipedia:Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon]]''' has inspired some short gags in [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]].

== Appearances ==
*Email [[12:00]] (Easter egg) — One of the tapes in the VCR reads "[[Wikipedia:You Can't Do That on Television|YCDTOTV]] Season 2", for the show ''You Can't Do That on Television''.
*[[Puppet Time]] — [[Homestar Runner]] drops off a video of ''[[Wikipedia:Watch Mr. Wizard|Mr. Wizard]]''.
*Email [[for kids]] — In [[Strong Bad]]'s children show, he asks viewers to help him find [[The Cheat]]. This is similar to early episodes of ''[[Wikipedia:Blue's Clues|Blue's Clues]]'' that began with the host asking the viewers to help find Blue.
*[[The Li'l Brudder Show]] — [[Li'l Brudder]] scrapes across the show's logo as [[Wikipedia:SpongeBob SquarePants|SpongeBob SquarePants]] does in the opening of his show.
*[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]] — [[What's Her Face]] asks [[The Ugly One]] if her party will be "[[Wikipedia:Nick at Nite|Nick-at-Night]] themed again".

[[Image:20060216 sketchbook none shall pass eww.PNG|150px|thumb|The Black Poopsmith]]
'''[[Wikipedia:Monty Python|Monty Python]]''' is a British '70s comedy troupe best remembered for their TV show ''[[Wikipedia:Monty Python's Flying Circus|Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' and for movies such as ''[[Wikipedia:Monty Python and the Holy Grail|Monty Python and the Holy Grail]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Monty Python's Life of Brian|Life of Brian]]''. [[The Brothers Chaps]] pay tribute to these legends by referencing them in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work.

==Appearances==
*[[Parsnips A-Plenty]] — The "scene missing" gag is used in an episode of [[Wikipedia:Monty Python's Flying Circus|Monty Python's Flying Circus]].
*[[Stinkoman 20X6]] — "Prawn Salad" is a skit-name from "Monty Python's Flying Circus".
*[[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] — Homestar saying Strong Bad's costume is the "Spanish Inquisition" is a reference to a Monty Python sketch of the same name.
*The [[Heavy Lourde]] — A similar gag appears Monty Python's Flying Circus, which had a similar running gag with a weight that said "16 TONS" on it.
*[[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer]] — The Blue Knight's face guard slamming down over his face after he says his last line is reminiscent of [[Wikipedia:Monty Python and the Holy Grail|Monty Python and the Holy Grail]], in which Sir Bedevere's face guard slams down after he says many of his lines.
*[[Sketchbook]] — on 2/16/06, the sketch is a drawing of The Poopsmith in an intimidating pose saying "None shall pass." This is a quote by The Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
*[[Thy Dungeonman 3]] — Just before you begin answering the hag's questions, she says "If ye answers questions three..." This is a reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail, in which the old man at the Bridge of Death proclaims "Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, 'ere the other side he see".
*[[Peasant's Quest Outtakes]] — Matt sounds very similar to [[wikipedia:Michael Palin|Michael Palin]] from Monty Python when he has his wig forward.

Email Processing Room

2007-11-13T00:35:03Z

AlienW: /* Fun Facts */

[[Image:email_processing_room.png|thumb|right|220px|Print. Chew. Crumple. Repeat!]]
The '''Email Processing Room''' is the nexus of all [[Strong Bad]]'s e-mail processing. It is linked through the animated GIF of a mouse on [[Strong Bad's Website]].

'''Page Title:''' MEN AT WORK

==Processing Details==
[[The Cheat]] types on an old computer (telling by the shape of the computer case and the monitor on top, probably an [[Wikipedia:Apple II series|Apple II]]) and prints out a potential email candidate. [[Strong Mad]] grabs [[The Paper]], puts on his reading glasses, and reads the email carefully. He then chews up the paper, spits it into a cylinder, and sends it via [[Wikipedia:pneumatic tube|pneumatic tube]] to Strong Bad. Strong Mad takes off his glasses. Strong Bad just laughs at the paper and rips it into tiny pieces. This cycle repeats.

==Noted Inconsistency==
Behind Strong Mad can be seen a [[Hanging_Objects#Email_Processing_Room|poster]] reading "GET BACK TO WORK!" and three signs that say, "PRiDE," "DETAiL," and "ETHiCS." They include a link to the former website of "The Rumor." The site has since expired and been turned into a weight loss advertisement page. In an [[EmailFAQ|early FAQ]], requests for links from Homestar Runner were rejected on the grounds that the Brothers Chaps' policy has always been "absolutely no advertising," including links to other sites. This has been corrected in the later [[FAQ]]; it now says that they "link to a couple sites here and there but only when it's appropriate."

==The Rumor==
"The Rumor" eventually became [http://dumpyusa.0catch.com/index.htm DumpyUSA], a website run by Brent McNeal and Adam Sterritt, who are friends of [[Matt Chapman]] and [[Craig Zobel]], the latter being the brother of [[Ryan Sterritt]], who are all Homestar Runner creators and [[contributors]]. The "Pride," "Detail," and "Ethics" signs in the cartoon refer to corresponding signs posted in Rumor South headquarters, i.e. Adam's bedroom.

The new site includes a [http://dumpyusa.0catch.com/matt.htm photo page of Matt] and [http://www.adamscorner.blogspot.com/ Adam's blog] with [http://www.adamscorner.blogspot.com/adamscorner_archive.html archives].

==Fun Facts==
*Back in the [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] era, sending Strong Bad an email would get an [[Strong_Bad_Email#Trivia|automated response]] that linked here.
**In that email, he explains the order of events in an acronym. The email gets "R.E.D. The Cheat '''R'''eads it, Strong Mad '''E'''ats it, and I '''D'''eletes it."
*Strong Mad's right arm is messed up: he appears to "grow" another arm out of it the second and third time he lifts it.
*There is also a layering problem the second time he lowers his arm. He places the tube into the tube, then his fist moves in '''FRONT''' of the table and disappears.
*The printer shown here is the printer Strong Bad uses at the end of emails, as shown in [[the paper]].
* You can find the SWF file for processing if you explore disc 2 of "sbemail.exe- The First Hundred Strong Bad E-mails" in your computer's DVD drive (if you have one).
*If you look closely enough, you'll see that Strong Bad is slightly floating above his stool. His computer appears to be floating as well.
*When Strong Bad takes the chewed-up e-mail out of the tube, he doesn't unscrew the lid, but he takes the note out through the tube.
*Just before Strong Mad sends the cylinder down the tube, the lid closes itself.
*There is a little gray line that goes through The Cheat's computer (you will have to zoom in to see this). The gray line is just like the line that goes through Coach Z's foot in [[In Search of the Yello Dello]].
*When viewed under a Flash Decompiler, you can see that Strong Bad's fourth design (seen in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]]) is used.

Swiss Cake Rolls

2007-11-13T00:29:30Z

AlienW: /* Appearances */

[[Image:Swiss Cake Rolls.PNG|thumb|These things are bad for you!]]
'''Swiss Cake Rolls''' are frosted, cylindrical chocolate [[cake]]s with a cream swirl inside. As such, they are a favorite snack food in [[Free Country, USA]] and in the real world, too. Sometimes they are treated as characters.

Although other companies make a similar product (e.g. [http://www.hostesscakes.com/hohos.asp Hostess HoHo]), [http://www.littledebbie.com/products/SwissCake.asp Little Debbie Snacks] makes a cake with the name Swiss Cake Roll.

==Appearances==
*[[Strong Bad Email#Trivia|Strong Bad Email Automatic Response]] — Back when [[Strong Bad Email]] was relatively new, whenever one emailed [[Strong Bad]], one got an automatic response, in which Strong Bad said he would read the email after finishing off some Swiss Cake Rolls.
*Email [[invisibility]] — Strong Bad steals a bunch of these from [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] while invisible. [[Bubs]] treats the rolls as if they were a real character, saying "My chocolates! Come back chocolates! I didn't mean what I said!". [[Homestar Runner]] also treats the seemingly-floating food items as characters, and after being punched by invisible Strong Bad, Homestar comments that "those things are bad for you". Strong Bad than proceeds to eat them on [[The Couch|his couch]], and attempts in vain to have [[Strong Mad]] listen to a "talking" Swiss Cake Roll.
**Email [[personal favorites]] — The first Swiss Cake Roll scene from "invisibility" is shown in a flashback.
*Email [[50 emails]] — The occasion is celebrated with a Swiss Cake Roll adorned with a "50" candle.
*[[The System is Down]] — The reason the website went down is because someone, probably Strong Bad, tried to cram-a-lam several Swiss Cake Rolls into the disk drive/motherboard of the server.
*Email [[big white face]] — In the [[Easter egg]], Swiss Cake Rolls (along with the "50" candle from 50 emails) are one of the things you can add to [[The Poopsmith]]'s cake.
*Email [[garage sale]] — Strong Bad attempts to sell some Swiss Cake Rolls at the garage sale for $50.
*Email [[original]] — A box of Swiss Cake Rolls is seen on a table in [[The Field]].

Welcome to '''The Homestar Runner Wiki'''! I'm [[User:Sam the Man|Sam the Man]]. The Wiki is yours to edit.

:Good first edit. I think you're getting the hang of this. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 00:42, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi, thanks. I hope I can figure this all out. - TheGirl

How do I make it so you can click on my name? - TheGirl
:Uhh, could you rephrase that? {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 01:10, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

I know, I feel dumb trying to figure this out. I didn't know what else to say. I mean, like your name, it takes you to your page. I want to make a page but I want to know how to make my name clickable to take someone there. Does that make sense? - TheGirl

Is there somewhere else I should put my questions? - TheGirl
:In order sign a talk page, you type <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> (four tildes). That will not only include your name, it will add a time stamp.

Does it work? The preview looks like it worked. But why is my name red? I don't want it to be red. [[User:TheGirl|TheGirl]] 02:13, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
:It works just fine. It's red because you haven't put anything on [[User:TheGirl|user page]]. Once you have something there, it will turn [[The Blue Ones|blue]]. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 02:15, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, I don't want it to be blue, either.. but it works clicking on my name. That "custom signature" thing I'll figure out later. [[User:TheGirl|TheGirl]] 02:23, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Okay, new question. I figured out how to put Very, Very Little Girl in one of my box thingies on my page, but I don't like the white border around her. I think it's on the pic itself. I think I could fix it, but I can't until I can upload. Can someone fix it for me? Pretty please? {{User:TheGirl/sig}} 00:28, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
:Although I sorta really think you should start making real edits, and stop requesting things (I hope I don't sound rude) I went and fixed that for you. Happy editing!--{{User:Slipstream/sig}} 00:41, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

::::Actually it doesn't bother me, lots of users perfect their own page before moving on tho main space... it's a great way to learn.

== Color difference? ==

I don't if it's intentional or whether you see/know/care about it or not, but there's a slight color difference between purples on your userpage background versus your cool personal picture. If you changed the background color to <code>#BC5DFA</code>, it'd be fixed without having to dabble with the picture. Feel free to delete this message if you don't see point or reason in it. Catcha later! --[[User:Sysrq868|Sysrq868]] 17:50, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
:Are you sure? My page used to have the background color BC5DFA but didn't match and that's why I changed it to B552F9, so it would match the pic. My graphics program shows that I have it right, too. Does anyone else see a mismatch? {{User:TheGirl/sig}} 17:56, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
::Now that you changed it, it matches (for me at least). Sometimes image compression can alter colors very little, but at least enough to tick me off. :) I originally checked it with [http://www.inetis.com/index.php?module=programcki DotColor], which is a dandy little piece of software when you work a lot with colors and images. --[[User:Sysrq868|Sysrq868]] 19:00, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

No one in IRC is answering me, so I'm going to ask my question here. I applied some "filters" to the line "Pretty good, Creep_____" from Jibblies 2 (the line everyone is complaining about on the Talk page), and I saved it as an MP3, but I don't know if it's okay to upload.

Original Book

AlienW:

[[Image:Original Book Cover.PNG|thumb|The book that started it all]]
'''The Homestar Runner Enters the Strongest Man in the World Contest''' is the original children's book that started the entire [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work. The archive in the [[museum]] includes the story plus some alternate cover ideas.

The Homestar Runner, Pom Pom, Strong Bad, and three others enter the Strongest Man in the World Contest. "Whoever holds the most grapes, wins." Strong Bad tries to [[Cheating|cheat]] with the help of a furry yellow animal, from that point aptly named "The Cheat".

Strong Bad later made a [[Strumstar Hammer|revised edition]] of the story in the email "[[kids' book]]". The book was also spoofed in the 100th email "[[flashback]]", which in turn inspired [[Main Page 20]]. There were also plans for a [[Homestar Runner Goes For The Gold!|sequel]], sketches for which appeared in the [[Sketchbook (museum)|Museum Sketchbook]], but the idea was eventually scrapped. In addition, a modernized and animated version was made ten years later, in the form of [[Strongest Man in the World]].

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Pom Pom}}, {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|The Cheat}}, {{Film|Mr. Bland}}, {{Film|The Robot (storybook)}}, {{Film|Señor}}, {{Film|The Announcer}}, {{Film|The Grape Fairie}}, [[The Fat Bee]]

{{dvd|Everything Else, Volume 2}}

== Background ==
*In an [[UMFM Interview - 20 May 2003|interview]], [[Mike Chapman]] tells how he and [[Craig Zobel]] started the story in 1996:
<blockquote>Just a story we made one afternoon, went to Kinko's, made about ten or fifteen copies of it, and kind of gave it to our friends, and that was it, really, for several years. We just did that in the summer. We were in college, and did it in a bored afternoon.</blockquote>

*[[Matt Chapman]] also talks about the book in the [[Club Aquatica Interview - 29 Oct 2003|Club Aquatica Interview]]:

<blockquote>Well, we were just looking around in a bookstore in the Children's book section, and we were kinda bored, we didn't see anything that we really liked, so we decided to make our own, you know, just as a joke to make fun of Kids' books. So we wrote The Homestar Runner Enters the Strongest Man in the World contest, and I think that that's still in the Museum right now.</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' You don't have to ta— why don't you just sit there in silence, I'll take over.

'''MIKE:''' Let's see it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Takin' the reins! ''{monotone}'' Hi, my name is Strong Bad, welcome to the commentary. I'll be taking the reins today. ''{Makes microphone clicking noise}'' If you'll look to the back of your cabin, this is The Homestar Runner Enters The Crappiest Universe In The Man Contest. ''{click}'' If you took at this page, they have a bunch of barbells. ''{click}'' This is the page that's the best all over, because I'm in part of it.

'''MIKE:''' Are you gonna get a new... new little gimmick, or are you just gonna do that. We're on a ride at the theme park, the whole time.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, okay. ''{deep voice}'' Hi, I'm the spaceship Strong Bad, and you're on board a spaceship. ''{click}'' Uh... This is a... ''{normal voice}'' Look, I look great. In that picture.

'''MIKE:''' You had a belly button there.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. Is it just that page?

'''MIKE:''' Very possibly.

'''STRONG BAD:''' It could be like, this page has been gr— that page was graffitoed.

'''MIKE:''' Just your belly button?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just my belly B.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' You've got a name for your belly button.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Belly B, man. Speaking of bees, the bee fairy. ''{short pause}'' Who is the guy that's narrating this thing, I wanna punch him. I wanna turn his lights out.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Turn them out or punch them out?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Turn them out.

'''MIKE:''' Sounds like it would be very— very— very— very painful.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. Senor.

'''MIKE:''' Look at The Tea— The Teach got a tongue!

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Teach? I never seen the tongue before on the The Teach. Uh... So what's with that robot? That's the worst technological robot I've ever seen.

'''MIKE:''' He's gotta be plugged— H-he's got a pretty short cord, too.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, what's the point, you can wa— It's like them boots that I had. Where I could only walk, like, twelve... y-y-y-yards, short, whatever shortest...

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' You've got a mouth within your mouth there!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that's creepy. That was clearly graffitoed onto me. All right, you missed the part, I— like, I clearly told them, "I'm taking a nap! Shut the contest down for a moment!" and they didn't listen.

==Fun Facts==
*Strong Bad refers to the [['Lectric Boots]] he owned in [[extra plug]].
*Strong Bad's monotone voice and mimicked microphone clicks are similar to how he sounds in [[theme park]].

Double Deuce

[[Image:sbemail24.PNG|thumb|220px|"Psssshhh! The Double Deuce!"]]
[[Image:Main17.PNG|thumb|"DOOOUUUBBLE DEEEUUUUCCE!!"]]

The '''Double Deuce''' is a style of flipping someone off with both hands. First demonstrated by [[Strong Bad]] in "[[the bird]]," it was later introduced as the name of [[Stinkoman]]'s primary attack technique. In order to perform a Double Deuce, Stinkoman strikes a dramatic pose and shouts "Double Deeeeeuuce!", which causes his gloves to glow and creates an energy disturbance around him.

Strong Bad's [[Action Figure Character Variations|Exciting Action Man action figure]] (as seen in [[action figure]]) comes equipped with "Severe Double Deuce Action." The feature is activated when the figure's head is pressed down.

The Double Deuce and its variants can be used to rid oneself of [[the office]] [[dullard]] or those seeking a [[challenge]] or perhaps a fight.

There is a one handed variant called the '''Single Deuce''', which [[Pom Pom]] prefers. A single "deuce" appears in the box art tagline for [[Stinkoman 20X6]] as "Ask for a Challenge! Deuce!"

In the email [[personal favorites]], the [[Grape-Nuts Robot]] references the phrase when he says "Now spell 'Douuuuuuuuble Deuce.'"
