AwkwardFire: /* Appearances */ Where U Goin' 2?

[[Image:pizzaz.png|thumb|"Ohh, there's ''two'' of them!"]]
'''Duplicate characters''' is a phenomenon where a single character appears in more than one place at once in the same scene, and in general, any other characters present simply accept this as true. This listing excludes purely stylistic uses of multiple characters through artistic license, as seen in music videos and the like.

==Appearances==

*[[Decemberween Teen Girl Squad]] — Two [[Arrow'd Guy]]s are seen rating the girls on their dives into the Gift Exchange Lion's mouth.
*Email [[pizzaz]] — [[Strong Bad]] conducts an interview of himself, in that he is asking the questions, and another "he" is answering them. Strong Bad seems to find this perfectly normal, even though the two Strong Bads interview, mock, yell at, plead with and bribe each other. However, the sight of two Strong Bads simultaneously makes [[The Cheat]]'s [[The Cheat's Head Exploding|head explode]].
*[[Senorial Day]] — [[Bubs]] holds a Bubsotathon, in which [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] throws confetti while on both sides of the screen at once. The Flash file shows that the one on the right wears a [[mustache]].

*Email [[mini-golf]] — After [[The Worm]] bites off half of Homestar's golf ball, another Worm pops out of it.

*Email [[shapeshifter]] — Three shapeshifted Strong Bads (one in the form of Bubs's legs, one in the form of a $100 bill, and one in the form of a balloon tiger) appear in one scene, which Strong Bad then describes as "confusing".
*[[Homestar Ruiner]] — After being humiliated, Homestar crashes at the [[House of the Brothers Strong]], occupying the basement, the kitchen, and [[Strong Bad's Room]] all at the same time. In fact, Strong Bad has to kick all three Homestars out of the house.
*[[Main Page 25]] — Homestar and [[The Exact Same]] appear.
*[[Twenty THANxty Six]] — Stinkoman appears to be buried in the ground with one leg sticking out and another Stinkoman appears next to it.

Baron Darin Diamonocle

2009-01-03T03:32:04Z

AwkwardFire: removed unneeded "to"

[[Image:BADGUY.png|thumb|right|220px|"Welcome to oblivion, Danger-skew."]]

'''Baron Darin Diamonocle''' appears to be the chief evildoer of ''[[stunt double|Dangeresque 2: This Time, It's Not Dangeresque 1]]''. He's played by [[Bubs]] wearing a monocle and holding [[The Cheat]]. One of his evildoings includes dropping a [[Heavy Lourde]] on [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] (in reality [[the stunt double|a stunt double]] played by [[Strong Sad]]). One of the odd features of his character is his phonetic pronunciation of other characters' names; for instance, he calls Dangeresque "Danger-skew" and Perducci "Per-dukki". In [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]], he helps Dangeresque rescue [[Cutesy Buttons]].

This villain is the stereotypical evil genius with a furry pet held in one arm. [[Wikipedia:Ernst Stavro Blofeld|Ernst Stavro Blofeld]] from the James Bond movies is an early example of this, with characters like [[Wikipedia:Dr. Evil|Dr. Evil]] and [[Wikipedia:Doctor Claw|Doctor Claw]] following the same formula.

Apparently, Diamonocle successfully forced Dangeresque to eat a bag of "stale, three month old, moldy, ranch flavored" potato chips. In response, Dangeresque framed Diamonocle for endangered puppy trafficking and the murder of several presidents, leading to his incarceration in Brainblow City Prison. As it turns out, though, Diamonocle really took to prison life well, claiming that "getting shivved repeatedly in the yard really puts things in perspective."

==Unnamed Bad Guy==
[[Image:SharkToothBadguy.PNG|thumb|left|150px|"Or did you?"]]

[[Shark Tooth Bubs]] appears as a villain at the end of [[Dangeresque: Puppet Squad]]. Instead of a monocle, this character wears a cowboy hat and a mustache. It is heavily implied that he may have been the true culprit who stole Dangeresque's curly fries.

The Chief

2009-01-03T03:30:14Z

AwkwardFire: linked to integral article.

[[Image:TheChief.png|thumb|"I KNEW YOU'D COME THROUGH, DANGERESQUE."]]
'''The Chief''', whose name contains an [[integral article]], is an [[Unseen Characters|unseen person]] who employs [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] in the game [[Dangeresque Roomisode 1: Behind the Dangerdesque]]. He locks Dangeresque in the [[Smoky Office]] until Dangeresque solves a case involving an attack. He constantly yells, speaks in capital letters and seems to be very irritable. Dangeresque suggests that The Chief is balding and watches football. Apparently, women find The Chief very unattractive.

==Keep?==
I can see the argument for keeping this, but I consider it weak unless this "movie" is mentioned again (or is made, of course). It was a single throwaway line in Dangeresque 3, nothing more. I say delete, or at least redirect somehow. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:55, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

:There's no point in keeping this. Its description on the Dangeresque page is enough info. [[User:Omnisweater|Omnisweater]] 01:07, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

[[Image:Leetspeak.png|thumb|"Puh-owned! Or however you say that..."]]

'''[[Wikipedia:Internet slang|Internet Slang]]''' has appeared in various forms throughout the [[Homestar Runner universe]], including '''[[Wikipedia:Leet|Leet]]''' (a variation of written language that substitutes various numbers and symbols for letters). The first use of Internet Slang appeared in the [[Strong Bad Email]] "[[i she be]]". Internet slang is commonly used in [[graffiti]].

Portmanteaus

2009-01-01T19:57:13Z

AwkwardFire: /* H */ Strong Bad the Thousandaire

'''[[Wikipedia:Portmanteau|Portmanteaus]]''' (or '''portmanteaux''') are commonly used in the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. A portmanteau is a combination of two or more words to make a new word or phrase, often going against the accepted traditions of how words are compounded. The term originally referred to a man's travel bag which contained two main pockets. Portmanteaus were first given that name by [[Wikipedia:Lewis Carroll|Lewis Carroll]] to describe "slithy" in the poem [[Wikipedia:Jabberwocky|Jabberwocky]], a combination of "lithe" and "slimy".

[[Strong Bad]] and [[Senor Cardgage]], especially, frequently create portmanteaus. [[The Brothers Chaps]] also often use portmanteaus when providing captions for [[Sketchbook]] and [[Weekly Fanstuff]] entries.

This article only lists portmanteaus unique to the Homestar Runner universe.

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a singsong voice}'' Sweetheart, get dressed and brush your teeth! It's time for email!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: comics</div>
Dear Strongbad, 
I would like to Draw a few comics about you and the cheat. 
But 1st i'd need to know what type of promblems you and 
the cheat would be faced with. Once i get a rough copy i'd 
send it to you to see how you like it. I hope you interested. 
-Malinko-
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "promblems" and "I hope you interested" as written.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Malinko, I hope ''you'' interested in getting sued into the middle ages by The Cheat and me. Cause that's what would happen if you drew a few comics about us. ''{clears screen}'' Just like that time Homestar started selling Strong Bad flavored water. ''{pronounces "flavored water" queasily, types in wavy blue-green font}'' We shut that mess down on the quickfast.

''{Cut to Homestar Runner in The Field with a stack of bottles labeled "SB2O". Homestar is holding a bottle.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I got your Strong Bad water right here! S-B-two-oh. Bottled at the source. Pure as a mountain goat.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahoy! An unmarked manila envelope. Must be that weaselly Malinko's comic.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh my!

''{Close-up of the paper, which has two scribbles labeled "Strong Bad" and "the Cheat", a few stains, and the signature "-m"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Rough copy is right! ''{turns the paper from side to side}'' Uh, you don't need my help finding promblems for these guys, Malinko.

''{Close-up of The Cheat}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry The Cheat noises}''

''{Close-up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' These don't look anything like us! Man, that kid was going to have so few pants on after we got done suing them off him. And now he's gonna strut around all on-panted waving his pant-covered legs in our faces. ''{he waves his leg}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{throws paper up in the air}'' You're a genius, The Cheat! Now ''that's'' what I pay you for. Open up. ''{holds up a taco and The Cheat opens his mouth wide}'' Up. Ah! Ah! Ah! ''{throws the taco in The Cheat's mouth, who gulps it down}'' There you go.

''{The Cheat opens his mouth again and claps his paws together making The Cheat noises, imitating a seal.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooch. Eetz. Ouch. Atch.

''{Cut to Strong Bad and The Cheat standing in The Field, now revealed to be wearing barbed wire.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now we look just like Malinko's cat-scratchings. Our case is air-tight. Why stop at pants? We could probably sue that black zip-up hoodie off him now too!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{turns around and makes The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, this stuff ''does'' make me feel pretty tough. Ooh, in fact... we should star in own action-packed credit sequence called, "Rough Copy!".

''{A "ROUGH COPY!" title screen appears with Strong Bad and The Cheat wearing barbed wire and holding revolvers. Big band music plays.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Drinko some Malinko! Crystal clear like domestic beer.

''{Cut back to the Lappy. Strong Bad shakes snow off his head and grumbles.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Can't you see Malinko? All this hot legal action is tearing our non-existent friendship apart! Looks like we'll just have to settle out of court.

''{Strong Bad turns away from the Lappy and starts eating a Zagnut bar.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mmm. That's some good settlement. ''{chews}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[SB2O|SB2O]] is a play on H2O, the molecular formula for water. SB2O would actually be a polyatomic ion composed of Sulfur, Boron, and Oxygen, even though this wouldn't be balanced.
*Domestic beer is beer made in one's own country. This is most likely a disparaging comment referring to hugely mass-produced American beers which have a reputation for being [http://nymag.com/restaurants/features/22308/ watery and bland].
*The Cheat's clapping his hands together indicating he wants another taco is the manner in which trained seals clap their flippers together to indicate to their trainer that they want more food.
*To "[[Wiktionary:bogart|bogart]]" means "to selfishly take or keep something". The phrase is coined after [[Wikipedia:Humphrey Bogart|Humphrey Bogart]].
*A settlement is a legal agreement between two parties not to pursue legal action over a certain matter in exchange for a payment of some kind, usually monetary.


===Trivia===
*The floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#LHX attack chopper|LHX attack chopper]]".
*This is the first time The Cheat's teeth were visible when he fully opened his mouth. The only other 'toon where he fully opened it was [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].
*If you view the Flash file, you can see a little bit of the [[No Loafing sign]] in the scene where Strong Bad is complaining about Malinko's pants.
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad tries to sue some kid for making a comic out of him and The Cheat."

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad and The Cheat seemingly [[Hammerspace|pull the soft tacos out of nowhere]].
*This is the first time Strong Sad has been [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship|physically violent]] toward Strong Bad.
*When Strong Bad and The Cheat first walk across the field, only the barbed wire they are carrying and the parts of them sticking out from above and beneath it are silhouetted against the sky, whereas the rest of their bodies are clearly visible in all the other shots with them holding the wire. According to The Brothers Chaps in the DVD commentary for this email, it was an intentional "stylized" appearance.
*According to [[record book]], Strong Sad actually can write using [[Inconsistencies within the Homestar Runner universe|extremely small letters]].
*A snowball in the freezer would turn to solid ice within a few days, let alone since Strong Sad was 8.

===Goofs===
*While Strong Bad and The Cheat are waterbombing Homestar, Strong Bad's arm seems to move behind his legs on the opposite side of his body from the briefcase instead of passing over the other side of his body toward the water balloons.
*During the second Lappy scene (just after Strong Bad and The Cheat waterbomb Homestar), the ripple effect from clicking on the Lappy's screen can be seen outside the screen area.
*During the Senor Cardgage Easter egg, Strong Bad's glove moves independently of his arm. Right at the end, the arm snaps into position.
*When Strong Bad leans back in the Senor Cardgage Easter egg, his left cheek doesn't move with his head.
*At the end, the cheek changes sizes and arm changes position before snapping back into place.
**This is a glitch of Flash tweening, as an object that is not a symbol (i.e. Strong Bad's mask design without the head or mouth) sometimes does not get recognized as a movable object, so all that can be done is to scale it bigger or smaller.
*When Homestar turns his flavored water bottle sideways, the water does not actually move, leaving a pocket of air at the top of the bottle when it should be at the side, facing up. However, when he turns the Malinko Drinko, the water is redistributed.
*The broken water balloons from The Cheat and Strong Bad's "sueing" should be visible on the ground, but they are not.

===Inside References===
*This is the sixth and last Strong Bad Email in a row to mention [[DNA evidence (running gag)|DNA evidence]]. Unlike the previous occurrences, the gag appears in an Easter egg rather than the main cartoon.
*This email makes reference to [[pants]], [[goats]], [[guns]], and [[alcohol]].
*[[The Jolly Dumple]] can be seen on the football field.
*The scene of Strong Bad and The Cheat silhouetted against the sky is similar in appearance to the scene of Strong Bad marching down to Bubs' in [[isp]].
*Strong Bad's reaction to Homestar's "flavored water" is similar to his reaction to Homestar's bread sing alongs in [[origins]]. In each case, he types "flavored water" and "bread sing alongs" in moving green text. 
*The intro is similar to [[Homestar Quiz]], specifically when you get 7 answers correct.
*The Cheat's attorney outfit is from [[sb_email 22]].

*When Strong Sad is on the football field, the way he gets hit with the water balloon is similar to the way he gets hit by a football in the Easter egg from [[Senorial Day]].

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a singsong voice}'' Sweetheart, get dressed and brush your teeth! It's time for email!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: comics</div>
Dear Strongbad, 
I would like to Draw a few comics about you and the cheat. 
But 1st i'd need to know what type of promblems you and 
the cheat would be faced with. Once i get a rough copy i'd 
send it to you to see how you like it. I hope you interested. 
-Malinko-
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "promblems" and "I hope you interested" as written.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Malinko, I hope ''you'' interested in getting sued into the middle ages by The Cheat and me. Cause that's what would happen if you drew a few comics about us. ''{clears screen}'' Just like that time Homestar started selling Strong Bad flavored water. ''{pronounces "flavored water" queasily, types in wavy blue-green font}'' We shut that mess down on the quickfast.

''{Cut to Homestar Runner in The Field with a stack of bottles labeled "SB2O". Homestar is holding a bottle.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I got your Strong Bad water right here! S-B-two-oh. Bottled at the source. Pure as a mountain goat.

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat approach; The Cheat is wearing a suit and tie and dragging a briefcase.}''

''{Cut back to the calendar, over which the cartoon title appears, then to a field view with the title "Blah blah blah — The Brothers Chaps," then to the side of Bubs's Decemberween-decorated concession stand and the title "Vocal Styles by Missy & Matt," and then finally to the Strongs' living room with the title "Here we go."}''

''{In the Strongs' basement, a Capsela set, present wrappings, and a box of [[The Cheatcakes|cheatcakes]] are on the floor. Strong Mad is on the couch wearing a green Decemberween sweater with snowflakes on it. He's happily tossing a large rock with a winking face drawn on it and a red ribbon up in the air and catching it.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I LOVE YOU, TONY STONY! ''{holding the rock in front of his face}'' NO, I LOVE YOU MORE!

''{The camera pans over to reveal Strong Bad playing with an extending claw toy in front of a box labeled "Grabbo Arm."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This thing is awesome. The Grabbo Arm ''demands'' respect. ''{to Strong Mad}'' I'd like to see somebody front on this. ''{calling}'' Hey, The Cheat!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Grab a hold of that egg nog.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, man.

''{Cut to outside, where Homsar is waving a paintbrush and standing next to a Salvation Army-like red pail with a sign over it reading "Baked [[Beans]]." The paintbrush inexplicably rings like a bell. Homestar runs by, then skids to a stop in the snow and turns around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Listen up, shortstop. I need some presents.

'''HOMSAR:''' Alms for the pudgy? ''{rings paintbrush}'' Alms for the pudgy?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhm, I don't know what any of that means, but I will make use of your complimentary spit bucket. Ahct-poo!

''{Homestar spits into the bucket and runs off.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' You're a real state trooper.

''{Homsar's hat flies up and goes off screen, and then falls down like a snowflake. Homestar runs across the countryside in silhouette, then to Bubs' Concession Stand.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{quickly}'' Bubs, I need to buy everyone and their brother Decemberween presents! ''{panting}''

'''BUBS:''' Running a little late, aren't we Homestar?

''{Zoom in on Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I've got an hour and 45 minutes. What do you got?

'''BUBS:''' ''{motioning to his left}'' Well, there's a bunch of my aught-four crap in that filthy box over there. Gotta make room for the aught-five crap!

''{Homestar walks over to the box, clearly labeled "aught four crap," and kneels down. The camera switches to inside the box looking out.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, what do we got here? ''{pulls out electrical tape}'' Electrical tape? Pom Pom loves electrical tape. What else, what else? ''{pulls out a steak knife}'' Ohh, rusty steak knife. That's got Coach Z written all over it.

''{Cut to the locker room. Coach Z is sitting on the bench in front of a TV dinner on a tray.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Ooh, Salisbury steak! Ring ring! ''{Picks up a phone with frayed wires, not attached to anything}'' Hellor? Ooh, Mom! Well, a very cheery Decemberween to you too! ''{shakes his head}'' Oh, Dad, it's you! Sorry about that. Yes, sir, I cooked a turkey, with the gravied yams and stuffinged ham. ''{camera zooms out to show entire bench}'' No, I'm not alone. Yes, this phone is plugged in.

''{The lights suddenly go out.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Aww, crackles. ''{Dejectedly}'' I forgot to pay my bills again this year.

''{Cut back to the concession stand. Homestar pulls out a banana with an arrow through it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey Bubs, check this out. For the Poopsmith who has everything.

'''BUBS:''' You give me anything in that box, you'll be gettin' a kick in the skull with a ribbon on it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right right. Ribbons. Bubs loves ribbons. Lessee... Strong Sad. Don't need to worry about Strong Sad.

''{Cut to an old fashioned bathtub with chains holding the boards covering the top in place.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{singing, from locked inside the tub}'' One night in Bangkok and the rough got rougher...

''{Cut to Marzipan's house, where she is sitting on the couch sporting Decemberween lights in her hair.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' If Homestar doesn't get here soon with my present, ''{camera zooms in}'' I'm gonna cook his goose!

''{Homestar runs in and trips, falling flat on his face in front of Marzipan. He gets up in a daze and hands Marzipan a wrapped present.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{groggily}'' Happy Decemberween, Marzi-man.

''{Homestar falls back on the floor and Marzipan opens the present.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{sounding disappointed}'' Wire cutters?

''{Strong Bad walks in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Foolish Homestar. Decemberween is not about getting people presents. It's about getting people ''good'' presents! ''Good presents!'' Not this last-minute discount crap you're trying to foist on us!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{interrupting}'' Oh, Homestar, it's perfect!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER AND STRONG BAD:''' ''{both of them in unison}'' It is? ''{Homestar shakes his head a few times in disbelief of his blind luck}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' This is just what I need to free the baby seals from the crab traps down at the wharfs. ''{Marzipan walks off, singing to herself}'' Free the baby seals...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, shut my mouth.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well well, Strong-o Bad-o. Looks like the ol' captain of the team still has what it takes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{brandishing his Grabbo Arm}'' Oh yeah? Well, the Grabbo Arm has what it takes, ''{extends the the Grabbo Arm}'' and what it takes is Marzipan's purse.

''{The Grabbo Arm comes back with Marzipan's purse.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No skin off my back.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, thanks! Have a nice last seven minutes of Decemberween, Homestar. ''{pokes Homestar with Marzipan's purse}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{increduously}'' There's only seven minutes left of Decemberween?! Oh, crap! I forgot to get everyone presents!

''{Homestar runs off again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, it goes on and on like this.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{off-camera}'' Oh, crap! There's only seven minutes left of Decemberween?!

''{Homestar Runner runs back behind Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Seriously. Like until New Year's...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{off-camera}'' Oh, crap! there's only seven minutes left of...

''{scene fades to black.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I didn't know we had any wharfs.

''{The camera returns to Homestar's clock, which displays the number of minutes remaining until Decemberween/Christmas ends. The back button appears.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on "Homestar's Clock" at the end to see what happened to the three main characters left out of this toon.
:''{The King of Town, the Poopsmith, and Pom Pom sit around a table in the King of Town's castle with two cans, one labeled "gravied yams" and the other labeled "stuffinged ham" on the table. On the wall behind them is a sign that reads, "Left Out Characters' Support Group & Buffet."}''
:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Pass the gravied yams, please. And don't bogart that stuffinged ham neither!

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
[[Image:SevenMinutes.PNG|thumb|AW CRAP!! Only 7 minutes left of Decemberween! You never bought any presents!]]
*At the end, [[Homestar's Clock]] originally counted down the minutes remaining of Decemberween 2004. It now counts down the minutes until the end of the 25th of the month (based on the local computer system's clock).
**When the counter reaches zero, the clock reads, "It's over" (a [[Teen Girl Squad]] reference). It is possible to skip to the "It's over" message by choosing "Play" from the Flash menu while viewing the SWF directly.
*The term "bogart", meaning to hold out on, refers to the great [[Wikipedia:Humphrey Bogart|Humphrey Bogart]], to describe the way he would hold out on tapping his cigarette ash by instead letting it build up and fall on its own.

===Trivia===
*This is the third appearance of [[cinnamon]]. Homestar's cinnamon beard, however, was first seen in [[caper]].
*Strong Bad's Grabbo Arm makes the [[Sound Effects|same noises]] as Homestar's tricked-out propeller cap in [[car]].
*The Cheat is dressed as Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer.
*This episode marks Homsar's first appearance in a Decemberween toon.
*Homestar's comment to Strong Bad referring to himself as the "ol' captain of the team" is also referenced in [[The Brothers Chaps|the Brothers Chaps']] [[Wired News Radio Interview - 23 June 2003|interview]] with [http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0,1284,59261,00.html Wired].
*This is the first main Decemberween toon that does not end in a multi-character holiday greeting.
*The [[audio quality]] is higher than normal, resulting in crisper sound compared to other toons on the site.
*The word [[crap]] is spoken 9 times and written once in this toon.

===Remarks===
*If Homestar slept through December 24 (as many assume after watching this toon), he could not have changed his tear-away calendar to the 25th.
*This is one of the few times the inside of Homestar's house is seen, and the very first time his bedroom has been seen. The outside looks as it did in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]], which is different from how it looked in older toons, such as [[The Reddest Radish]] and [[In Search of the Yello Dello]].
*Homestar's alarm clock here is different from the alarm clock in [[radio]]. It was apparently made just for him, as it says "Homestar's Clock" right on it.
**It is unclear how Homestar's clock could even differentiate between 10:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. — usually digital clocks have a light or indicator when it is night time, but Homestar's clock has none.
*Homestar does not sleep in the Race Car Bed he bought with Marzipan's credit card in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 10.2]].
*This is yet another reference to [[Homestar Naked]].
*When Homestar runs from Homsar, he doesn't leave any tracks.
*Homestar takes about 15 minutes to go from his house to Bubs' Concession Stand; he woke up at 10, and then told Bubs that he had an 1 hour and 45 minutes left when he got to the concession stand.
*Coach Z's "I forgot to pay my bills again this year" used to be "I forgot to pay my electric bill again this year".
*Coach Z pronounces Decemberween correctly this year, as opposed to his pronunciation in The Best Decemberween Ever, in which he sings "Decemberwoyrn".
*Apparently [[Free Country, USA]] has wharfs, although Strong Bad didn't know this either, despite him appearing in a boat in both [[lures & jigs]] and [[montage]].
*It's snowing, yet the sky is obviously clear as the moon and stars are visible in several shots.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Homestar's Clock initially counted down the minutes until the end of the 25th of the current month. After the 25th of the month, the clock would run forward, counting the minutes since that day passed. The tens spot of the seconds was empty, and when the counter reached 10 each minute, the tens were displayed in the ones spot, and ones were not displayed until the next minute.

===Inside References===
*Coach Z's [[disconnected telephone]] resembles the one from [[replacement]].
*Strong Sad is locked in the bathtub—something he said his brothers do to him every Decemberween, according to [[The Best Decemberween Ever]].
*Also, some of the scenes in this toon are similar to those in The Best Decemberween Ever. They include:
**The plot of the toon, which is to get someone a Decemberween present (though in The Best Decemberween Ever he only focused on Strong Bad, here, Homestar focuses on everyone).
**Homestar emerging from his home (albeit naked, which was not the case with The Best Decemberween Ever).
**The long shot of Homestar running (but in this case, it's night instead of day).
**Homestar at [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], trying to get presents.
*Both [[lowercase i's]] and [[style]] make an appearance in this toon.

===Real-World References===
*[[Homestar Runner's Sleepwear|The piano T-shirt]] Homestar is wearing in bed is essentially the same as that worn by [[Wikipedia:Michael Jackson|Michael Jackson]] in bed in the video for [[Wikipedia:Beat It|"Beat It"]]. This includes the inaccurate depiction of a keyboard, showing both single black keys and three white keys in a row.
*The toy seen briefly on the floor in the Strongs' living room is a [[The Strongs' Capsela|Capsela]] set, a module-based construction set which can be used to make portable fans, real floating boats, all manner of wheel and caterpillar-driven vehicles, and even remote-controlled robots. It appears as though their set in particular was used to make a boat (the "balloon" capsules on the bottom are a dead giveaway).
*Strong Mad's rock, Tony Stony, is a reference to "pet rocks" which were popular in the mid-'70s.
*Homsar's "Alms for the pudgy" request, and Baked Beans bucket/complimentary spit-bucket is a take on the [[Wikipedia:Salvation Army|Salvation Army]]'s annual Christmas drives.
*While locked in the bathtub, Strong Sad sings a misquoted lyric from the song "[[Wikipedia:One Night in Bangkok|One Night in Bangkok]]," from the musical "''[[Wikipedia:Chess (musical)|Chess]]''". It became a number one hit for Murray Head in 1985, and was composed and written by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus of ABBA and Tim Rice. The correct quotes are "One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster," "One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble," and "One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble."

===Fast Forward===
*Homestar Runner later apologizes to the other characters for his presents in [[Hooked on Decemberween]].

== DVD Version ==
*Homestar's clock at the end of the toon says "e:nd" instead of having the countdown.
*The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MATT:''' This is the—

'''MIKE:''' Well if it isn't Mike Chapman!

'''MATT:''' That's ''you''.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Oh.

'''MIKE:''' Who are ''you''?

'''MATT:''' I'm...Matt.

'''MIKE:''' I wish I had that alarm clock.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. It's Homestar's Clock brand.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' So there's ol' Michael Jackson's shirt from the "Beat It" video?

'''MATT:''' Yeah. It's from when he wakes up and finds that some street toughs are fighting outside, before he decides to go outside and break it up.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Is that the premise of that video?

'''MATT:''' I think so!

'''MIKE:''' He just wakes up and there's a fight outside his... house?

'''MATT:''' Mm hm.

'''MIKE:''' I think we improved the snow-falling clips in this one.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, originally—

'''MIKE:''' Or is this one... dynamic?

'''MATT:''' Uh, it was going to be but it took too much— Jonathan made one that was totally, uh, action scripted.

'''MIKE:''' Just random...

'''MATT:''' Right.

'''MIKE:''' ...snowflakes?

'''MATT:''' But it took up too much—

'''MIKE:''' Were any of the snowflakes the same in that?

'''MATT:''' No, Mike, it was just like in nature.

'''MIKE:''' I don't believe that to be true.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Look— Wha—?! Uh.. wha—?! That's seems irreverent, Mike! "Blah blah blah"?! ''{Mike laughs}'' That's not the way that it should go! Look, some Capsela.

'''MIKE:''' Ohhhh.

'''MATT:''' And— And a penguins jersey, maybe.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' That's a good... ''sweater'' that he's got on too! I want that sweater; I gotta get Jackie to knit me one of those!

'''MIKE:''' Do you think that ribbon is part of the... what is his name? Stony Tony?

'''MATT:''' Tony— Tony Stony.

'''MIKE:''' Tony Stony?

'''MATT:''' Yeah... I don't like that, uh, bell sound. I can't believe that we couldn't find a bell to record to make that bell noise, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' It didn't bother me, Matt.

'''MATT:''' It bothers me to this day.

'''MIKE:''' ''{long pause; breathes a sigh.}''

'''MATT:''' ...Say a few syllables, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Ehh, it's uh— that's a very ''soothing'' scene...

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' The stars...

'''MATT:''' Homestar sliding softly through the snow.

'''MIKE:''' The wind sound... yeah...

'''MATT:''' "Why would I be closed"?!

'''MIKE:''' Well... because it's almost Decemberween, Bubs.

'''MATT:''' It's almost ''over'', in fact.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah!

'''MATT:''' It ''is'' Decemberween. ''{pause; makes snow-squish sound effects with his mouth.}''

'''MIKE:''' Was that you—?

'''MATT:''' Yeah. It might be ''you'' actually.

'''MIKE:''' I doubt that.

'''MATT:''' ''{pause}'' Uh oh. I have a feeling that we're going to see something depressing with Coach Z, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Shh! ''{pauses and laughs a little as Coach Z talks on the phone.}''

'''MATT:''' So... do you think that he has parents? I hope that he has parents.

'''MIKE:''' I don't think he parents like him very mu— They wouldn't— they wouldn't call him.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' So he has to have imaginary conversations with his parents on holidays. ''{Coach Z says the phone is plugged in; both laugh}'' He has to argue with them too!

'''MIKE:''' It's sort of like when Homestar is controlling Carboard Marzi. ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Yeah. He's doing a very accurate job—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' —including the arguments, and... ''{laughs as Homestar holds up his present to The Poopsmith}'' I think I'm going to give you a banana with an arrow through it for the next Christmas, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Until I watched this cartoon, if you had given me that, I would not have known what it was from.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Oh, so we see that he actually gets locked— that's how you get locked in the bathtub, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Which one was that in? The fir—

'''MATT:''' The first one.

'''MIKE:''' —er, uh—

'''MATT:''' The Best Decemberween Ever.

'''MIKE:''' The Best Decemberween Ever.

'''MATT:''' That's a nice setup she's got in her hair, too. I'd like— I'd like to see that happen...in real life.

'''MIKE:''' I used to have a set of Christmas lights that were battery operated.

'''MATT:''' And you'd put them in the back of the windshield of the Madstyle—

'''MIKE:''' That's right.

'''MATT:''' —I remember that.

'''MIKE:''' You might be able to pull that off if you had a big ol' ponytail like you ''used'' to.

'''MATT:''' Me?

'''MIKE:''' Hey guys, Matt used to have a big long hair ponytail!

'''MATT:''' The ponytail wasn't very long, actually.

'''MIKE:''' Well...

'''MATT:''' The hair was long, but the ponytail was meager. ''{long pause}'' So Homestar gets redeemed; he kind of wins in this one. It's been a while, it seems like. ''{pause}'' I'd like a Grabbo-arm, too. I like that little purse! A little, uh... ''statchbook''.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Is that what they call those?

'''MATT:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' Is that what all the sweater girls are calling them these days? Statchbooks?

'''MATT:''' Uh huh. ''That you can knit your own statchbook on my stu-blog!''

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' A stu-blog!

'''MATT:''' Statchbook stu-blog, I'm adding S-T to the beginning of words, Mike, and replacing... ''{sighs}'' Ahhhh...

'''MIKE:''' Sorry about my brother Matt, guys.

Style

2008-12-30T02:58:43Z

AwkwardFire: /* Other Appearances */ vocal styles

[[Image:Totally style.PNG|thumb|"Check it out, yo!"]]
<blockquote>
'''MATT:''' I sing that "Can you handle my style no you can't handle my style" song a lot. I think maybe I sang it ''before'' it was a Strong Bad Email song even.
 
'''MIKE:''' Probably. You tend to sing songs with lyrics that have "style" in them.
 
'''MATT:''' Styles upon styles, Mike.</blockquote><cite>[[modeling]] DVD commentary</cite>

AwkwardFire: /* Long sub sandwich */

== Nerd userbox ==

Looks familiar, and i know i didn't put it on the userbox page... someone's been scouting... :P {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 06:56, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
:I replied on my talk page, sorry for the misunderstanding. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 07:06, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

== Sorry to Bother ==

I was reading the talk pages and saw you mentioned me. I didn't understand what you said. You said:
''I would totally do that, but I don't know how. Sorry to dissapoint, O.F. But I digress, my main point is that '''Onestop''' has a very valid one. I also aggree with Jay, and I think putting other characters into the article would put a big beefy arm on it.''--[[User:Onestop|ONESTOP]] 17:51, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

:That's completely fine. I meant that I agreed that we should put more characters on the Brundo the Decemberween Yak page, which you had mentioned earlier in the talk page, saying that we could take "Brundo" as the title of the show. {{User:AwkwardFire/sig}} 11:18, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

== Long sub sandwich ==

Just gotta say, that image of The Cheat and Strong Bad carrying that gigantic sub sandwich... really cool. {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 01:38, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

[[Image:LongSubSandwich.png|thumb|right|180px|Wow I'd eat that.]]
Love the long sub sandwich personal image. I'm gonna put it over here for everyone to admire on your talk. And thanks for all of your contributing. {{User:Mas12806/sig}} 05:55, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm Max.
I'm 18 in Raleigh, NC. I go to William G. Enloe High School. 
I'm gonna put more stuff on here later.
Or maybe not.

It's not much later (like about 5 minutes). 
I got 2 cats: Bonnie (a brown tabby, pretty fat), and Maggie (orange persian-ish), both female. 
I love them dearly.

I really like lots of stuff, some of which you might expect, but others you might not. Here's a table for the list-impaired:

{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 style="border-collapse:collapse"
|- bgcolor=#eeeeee
! Somewhat obvious interest !! Not-too-obvious interest
|-
| Video games || Typing letters (on a typewriter)
|-
| Homestar Runner || Reading more than what's good for me
|-
| Sleeping || Geocaching
|-
| Playing with my kitties || Playing Magic: The Gathering
|-
| Listening to music (my favorite band is R.E.M.) || Making fractal art with Apophysis 2.0
|-
|}

Here's a list of bands I like, in no particular order:
*R.E.M.
*The Postal Service
*Daft Punk
*Utopia
*Aqua
*America
*System of a Down 
And all that, and all that.

Portmanteaus

2008-12-23T22:32:31Z

AwkwardFire: /* D */ fixed caps.

'''[[Wikipedia:Portmanteau|Portmanteaus]]''' (or '''portmanteaux''') are commonly used in the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. A portmanteau is a combination of two or more words to make a new word or phrase, often going against the accepted traditions of how words are compounded. The term originally referred to a man's travel bag which contained two main pockets. Portmanteaus were first given that name by [[Wikipedia:Lewis Carroll|Lewis Carroll]] to describe "slithy" in the poem [[Wikipedia:Jabberwocky|Jabberwocky]], a combination of "lithe" and "slimy".

[[Strong Bad]] and [[Senor Cardgage]], especially, frequently create portmanteaus. [[The Brothers Chaps]] also often use portmanteaus when providing captions for [[Sketchbook]] and [[Weekly Fanstuff]] entries.

This article only lists portmanteaus unique to the Homestar Runner universe.

Portmanteaus

2008-12-23T22:32:14Z

AwkwardFire: /* D */ D'weeve

'''[[Wikipedia:Portmanteau|Portmanteaus]]''' (or '''portmanteaux''') are commonly used in the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. A portmanteau is a combination of two or more words to make a new word or phrase, often going against the accepted traditions of how words are compounded. The term originally referred to a man's travel bag which contained two main pockets. Portmanteaus were first given that name by [[Wikipedia:Lewis Carroll|Lewis Carroll]] to describe "slithy" in the poem [[Wikipedia:Jabberwocky|Jabberwocky]], a combination of "lithe" and "slimy".

[[Strong Bad]] and [[Senor Cardgage]], especially, frequently create portmanteaus. [[The Brothers Chaps]] also often use portmanteaus when providing captions for [[Sketchbook]] and [[Weekly Fanstuff]] entries.

This article only lists portmanteaus unique to the Homestar Runner universe.

== Transcript==
''{The title screen, in the style of a needlepoint sampler, appears, with the words "A Death-Defying Decemberween", a helmet, and some holly. Cut to a snow-covered field, where a group of characters is standing, all dressed in winter attire, and adorning a snowman with [[The Stick]]. Strong Bad enters from the side, carrying some hot chocolate with a few marshmallows inside it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hot choco, everyone! Hope it's not too... late! Choco? Late? Choco-late? Huh?

'''BUBS:''' What a cut-up!

'''COACH Z:''' A real ham!

'''STRONG MAD:''' THE FIFTIES!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Thanks, Strong Bad! What a wonderful byproduct of your parole!

''{She takes a cup. Then, Homestar enters from the side.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angrily}'' Psshft! Whatever! That's not death-defying entertainment, Strong Bad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' But I wasn't talking about... Hot choco, I was—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's right! This Decemberween, I, homestarrunner.com, will attempt to sled down... The Steep Deep!

''{Cut to a shot of the Steep Deep, a mountain with a slope at an extreme angle}''

'''ALL:''' ''{gasp}''

'''COACH Z:''' The Steep Deep! No one's ever been brave-slash-boneheaded enough to try and conquer that monster!

'''BUBS:''' You'll break your face into an unrecognizable clump!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No way, dog! No way, Bubs! My face doesn't know the meaning of "unrecognizable clump"!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What about the rest of you?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'll ask them later. ''{leans in toward Strong Bad}'' Just mark your calendars! Pre-game starts at twelve, kickoff's set for 12:30. ''{leaps into the air}'' Death-defying entertainment! ''{"tainment" echoes a few times}''

''{the scene cuts to the title card, now showing an image of Homestar's jump}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' We now return to Homestar Runner's Death-Defying Decemberween Special.

''{applause. The scene fades into a set for a decorated home. Homestar is playing the piano. He is wearing a jacket and tie, and has a pipe in his mouth. Bubs' arm can be seen through the window, periodically throwing snow}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{takes the pipe out}'' Oh, hi! I didn't see you come in. ''{sets the pipe on the piano}'' Sure is cold out there. Would you like a cup of hot jones? ''{produces a steamy mug of liquid topped with what seems to be whipped cream and red sprinkles and hands it to the viewer's point of view}''

'''AUDIENCE MEMBERS:''' ''{offscreen}'' Oh! Ooh!

'''MAN:''' ''{off screen}'' Hot ''what''?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's better.

''{The camera swings around to the side, revealing Coach Z's arm holding the mug, which quickly moves out of the shot}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{begins walking, and a wall calendar comes into view. It reads: December 24 "The D'weeve, yo!"}'' You know, nothing says "Decemberween" like death-defying entertainment. That's why, this Decemberween, I'm going to attempt to sled down the Steep Deep.

'''AUDIENCE MEMBERS:''' ''{collective gasps}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{ducks down, then pops up closer to the camera}'' I might could die. ''{the audience laughs}''

''{the doorbell rings}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I wonder who that could be?

''{the door swings open, making the set wobble, and revealing Bubs, who is carrying a cardboard box with a bow on it. The audience laughs and cheers as Bubs waves.}''

'''BUBS:''' Well, hey, Homestar! You didn't tell me you were having a holiday special over tonight!

''{the audience laughs. Homestar and Bubs also fake laughter. Coach Z's arm can now be seen throwing snow outside the window.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Come on in, Bubs. Care to stick around for some soft focus and sparkle filters?

'''BUBS:''' I'd love to! ''{a wreath frames the scene, which goes out of focus and sparkles appear, all accompanied by a small harp strum}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Say, Bubs! Say, Bubs! What's in the package?

'''BUBS:''' ''{walks over to the piano, where Homestar is}'' Well, open it up!

''{Homestar takes the box and opens it, pulling out a small sled}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Gee whiz! ''{audience oohs and ahhs}'' A brand new sleddin' board! Just what I needed for the Steep Deep!

'''BUBS:''' And I pre-printed an epitaph on there, ''{camera shows the epitaph on the sled, which reads: "Here Lies Homestar Runner.com Death-Fying Entertainer <strike>and Father of Six</strike>"}'' so it can double as a gravestone in case you don't make it! ''{audience laughs}''

''{camera zooms in on Homestar, who groans long and loud}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{mouth wiggles}'' Gulp! ''{audience laughs}''

''{cut to the Brothers' Strong's Basement, where Strong Bad and The Cheat are on the couch in front of the TV}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What a crock-pot full of smaller crock-pots! ''I'' should be the one sitting on a flimsy holiday-themed set on a soundstage promoting ''my'' upcoming daredevilry! ''{dejectedly}'' Stupid conditions of my parole!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{leaps off the couch}'' ''{The Cheat noises}'' ''{begins to walk off}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Where d'you think ''you're'' going?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{explanatory The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A previous engagement? Since when do you talk like that?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' ''{walks out}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rubs his gloves together}'' This is very unsuspicious behavior for The Cheat. Which, of course, makes it ''very'' suspicious! As soon as I finish this cup of hot jones, ''{grabs the mug sitting next to him}'' I'm gonna find out what he's up to. ''{Strong Bad slurps noisily from the mug}'' Oh, ''{smacks lips}'' that's good jones.

''{iris to a shot at the foot of the Steep Deep at night. Strong Bad sneaks in from the left and ducks behind a bush}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{peers out from behind the bush}'' What the crap?

''{over-the-shoulder shot from behind Strong Bad, revealing Homestar and The Cheat dumping snow on a mattress}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, The Cheat. ''{sets shovel down}'' Now, you're sure no one will see this buried here when I sled down?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{affirmative The Cheat noises}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, man. I own you big time for this one. ''{begins shoveling again}''

''{cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, The Cheat's helping Homestar the cheat, eh? I wonder what would happen without that mattress there... ''{scratches his chin}'' Hmm...

''{scene fades out}''

''{record scratch. Scene immediately brightens}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, wait. Homestar would probably die! I gotta go move it!

''{scene fades out again}''

''{Another record scratch. Scene immediately brightens again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I was really wondering for a second there.

''{scene cuts to the next day, where the crowd is gathered in front of the Steep Deep.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover; over loudspeaker}'' Ladies and gentlemen, here he is! ''{cut to a long shot of the Steep Deep, where Homestar is perched precariously on top}'' The man that's about to do a thing! Homestar Runner!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm not very good at speeches...! ''{slight echo}''

''{long, expectant pause}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{leans forward and sleds down the hill}'' WAAAAAH! ''{continues screaming throughout}''

''{silhouetted shot of Homestar sledding down the incline.}''

''{several rapidly changing shots of a blurry Homestar speeding down the hill, and of the shocked expressions of the crowd. The shots get closer and change more quickly until it cuts back to the silhouetted shot, where Homestar reaches the bottom of the hill, flips 90 degrees, and lands gently, with a small ding. Triumphant fanfare.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{waving arms wildly}'' He made it!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{surprised}'' I made it!?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{also surprised}'' He made it?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looks around, then gets up}'' ''{angrily}'' The Cheat! What happened to my mattress filled with hammers, broken glass, and candy canes sucked down 'til they're all pointy?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, that mattress was full of danger? Why would you want to land on something like that?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{walking up}'' All right, Homestar! It's time to go to my parents' house for Decemberween brunch!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dully sarcastic}'' Oh, the joy and the glory. ''{angrily}'' Because I ''safely'' made it down the Steep Deep, ''{dully sarcastic again}'' I get to spend another Decemberween with Mrs. Marzipan and her latest husband.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{walking away}'' Seth is having some of his philosophy department colleagues over again this year. ''{Homestar hangs his head and walks off with her}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{grinning widely}'' Have fun, Homestar! ''{waves}'' Thanks for the death-defying entertainment! ''{turns to The Cheat}'' I gotta give Homestar credit. Using ridiculously elaborate schemes involving ''{pulls out the pipe}'' bone-curdling injuries to avoid spending time with family ''{the piano backdrop lowers into place}'' is the kind of Decemberween tradition I can get behind. ''{wreath frame appears}'' ''{pulls out a plank of wood with some nails stuck in it}'' Now work me over with this two-by-four before we have to go to Great Gamaw's again. ''{tosses the plank to The Cheat}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' ''{rears back with the plank, as the soft focus and sparkle filters reappear with the harp flourish}''

''{cut to a black screen reading "The End." just as the plank hits Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' OW! ''{the audience laughs}''

''{cut to Homestar and Marzipan (partly out of frame) seated in wooden chairs. Homestar is once again wearing his suit and tie, and still wearing the helmet.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{faking laughter}'' Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho. ''{dully sarcastic}'' Brown sweater. ''{holds up the sweater}'' It's like you read my mind. ''{turns}'' And my compliments to the Seth. The food was atrocious.

''{cut back to the "The End." screen, which now also has a "back" button}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Parole|Parole]] is a court-approved early release from prison on certain conditions specified by the court. Violation of these conditions mean the person in question is returned to prison to complete their sentence.
*An [[Wikipedia:Epitaph|epitaph]] is a message printed or engraved into a gravestone explaining the person's achievements.
*Homestar's blatantly self-aware holiday special, complete with his affected pipe and sweater, and the soft focus and sparkle filters parodied in this short are a hallmark of the many holiday variety shows from the 1960s and 1970s.

===Remarks===
*After the sled run, Marzipan says they are going to a brunch, yet Homestar scheduled his sled run at 12:30, around lunchtime.
*Strong Bad's great-grandmother was last mentioned in [[looking old]]; however, she was said to be living in a nursing home and not in her own house, as vaguely suggested by Strong Bad.

===Goofs===
*While sledding down the Steep Deep, Homestar Runner appears to be tilting backwards when the screen pans out to a silhouette of the hill, both as he starts to move down the hill and as he lands, although he is seen sitting up in the sled during his multiple high-speed close-ups between the two times that the silhouette of the hill is shown.
*When Homestar Runner is playing the piano at the beginning of the TV show, the notes are going down, but he plays the keys going up.
*The epitaph cannot be seen on the sled after it is shown on the TV show set.
*On the TV show set, Homestar Runner's outfit buttons left side over right, but while presumably wearing the same outfit sitting next to Marzipan at the end of the toon, it buttons right side over left. Men's shirts usually button left side over right.
*After Coach Z pulls the hot jones offscreen during Homestar Runner's televised special, Homestar's jacket shading becomes lighter than the actual jacket.
*Near the beginning of the toon, the falling snowflakes have 4 sides instead of the usual 6.

===Inside References===
*Homestar Runner's calendar in his televised special says "The D'weeve, yo!", which is a reference to the calendar in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].
*At the brunch, Homestar receives a sweater with [[Lack of Visible Arms|sleeves]].
*Homestar Runner and Strong Bad refer to drinking [[jones]], a hot beverage topped with cream with red sprinkles on top.
**The term "hot jones" is a play on "hot cup of joe", a term for [[coffee]].
*Strong Bad's parole implies that he had been in [[jail]] before this cartoon.
*Homestar referring to himself as homestarrunner.com is an instance of [[breaking the fourth wall]].
*Homestar and Strong Bad are shown holding [[Smoking|pipes]].
*Homestar attempts to defy [[death]].
*Homestar's pronunciation of "gulp" is another example of [[spoken sound effects]].
*The way that Homestar Runner says "Gulp!" is reminiscent of [[Fightgar]] also saying "Gulp!" in [[Shopping for Danger]].
**Homestar also "gulped" in this manner in [[Date Nite]].
*This is yet another instance of Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiling]].
*Homestar calls Coach Z "[[My Dog|dog]]".
*Coach Z mentions [[ham]].
*Homestar Runner wears brown [[Homestar Runner's Pants|pants]] during his televised Decemberween special.
*Homestar and Marzipan head over to her [[parents]]' house at the end.
*You can hear one of the audience screaming "[[Onion Bubs]]" (a reference to the email [[original]]) when Bubs enters the TV show set.

== Welcoming ==

Just to let you know, [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Corruption&oldid=592716 this] edit undermines our standards for welcoming. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}}
:Ummm, it does not. That was a helpful welcome.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 21:34, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

== Thanks! ==

Thanks for sorting out that [[pop-up]] commentary transcript... I had a really hard time telling them apart there. (and sorry about the --mdash; thing, I tried to search-and-replace the -- right after I saved it, and didn't notice I'd messed it up). {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 05:10, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah, after transcribing so many DVD commentaries, I've got their voices pretty much figured out. And I've gotten tired of transcribing DVD commentaries! Haha. Glad to just be proofreading, rather than starting from square one. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 05:14, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

::* WHAT IS TROLLING?
::* DO YOU THINK SBEMAIL 200 DESVERS A PIZZA TROPH?
::::See [[HRWiki:Welcoming committee]] and [[HRWiki:WikiTroll]]. And I personally thought sbemail 200 was pretty dang good, despite what others seem to think. In short: Yes, I do think it desvers a pizza troph. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 07:35, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

OMG! What did you do to it? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:54, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
:I moved the couch out of the way and there was a pool of blood under it. Weird, huh? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 18:58, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
::AUGH!!! Opty... say it isn't so! We'll have to hold a funeral for the couch... {{User:Acam30/sig}} 01:01, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
:::Funeral? For the couch? No, I don't think it was the couch's blood. I'm counting on the couch coming back after Halloween... Besides, the couch is still alive and well on my user page. You can visit it whenever you'd like. =] {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 01:15, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
Hey guys, remember {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:OptimisticFool/sig&oldid=503814 ''this''}}? You know, I thought about bringing that sig out of retirement, but wanted to go a bit darker this year. Instead, I think people aren't quite getting that that's a pool of blood.

Hey yo Optimus Prime! Why does your name only appear when I click and drag? {{User:Mee/sig}} 09:46, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
:That's a good question.. and I don't have the answer. Do you see the image okay? Do you have a regular white background, or do you use some kind of skin or something with a different background color? (Anyone else have any ideas?) {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 17:32, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
::Question 1: Yes. Question 2: I use regular Monobook white. (Question 3: Could it be because I has a Mac or use Firefox?) {{User:Mee/sig}} 09:59, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
:::Dunno. I have a PC and use IE. I s'pose you could try Safari. I wonder if it might have something to do with the fonts on your machine.. let's try this.. can you see any of these?:

Anyway, which of those (if any) do you see? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 14:36, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
::::Just for the record, I've never had a problem with my Mac and Safari seeing the sig. On the other hand, Crack Babies, Bloody, Creepy, and Verdana all default back to Arial Bold for me. This is why I stick with really common fonts for my sig... {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 15:13, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
::::I see something for every font except Crack Babiies. So I guess I should download that font. Dot dot dot, and now it works. But for some reason it only shows the bottom half of each letter in the font book. {{User:Mee/sig}} 19:31, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::…And now it's invisible (except for click-and-drag) again. I went to Safari and it didn't seem to have this problem, so I guess it's a Firefox promblem. {{User:Mee/sig}} 22:48, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*"Cheer Up Coach Z" was previously downloadable as a [[Quote of the Week]].

===Remarks===
*The songs "O Holy Crap" (from [[A Holiday Greeting]]), the holiday version of "[[Intro|Everybody, Everybody]]" (from the same toon as well as on [[Decemberween Email Menu]]), and "Everyone's Looking" (from [[A Decemberween Pageant]]) are not featured here.
*All of the MP3s are hosted on Videlectrix's website. The last time Videlectrix was used to host something other than its own sake was for hosting [[Non-Sequitur Champion]] for use in the [[Store]].

===Inside References===
*The format of this toon echoes that of [[Limozeen vs. Sloshy]].
*Each of the songs either appear in, or refer to, the following Decemberween toons:
**[[The Best Decemberween Ever]] ("O, Decemberween")
**[[Decemberween In July]] ("[[Seasonal Sweaters]]")
**[[Homestar Presents: Presents]] ("Homestar Runner Presents: Presents")
**[[Decemberween Short Shorts]] ("Cheer Up, Coach Z")
**[[Happy Dethemberween]] ("The Dethemberween Thnikkaman")
*Brainkrieg first appeared in [[death metal]].
*This is another reference to [[swearing]] and [[alcohol]].
*The Homestar Runner Presents: Presents song references Homestar's past trend of getting terrible presents for the other characters, as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].

===Real-World References===
*The toon title refers to [[Wikipedia:Hooked on Classics|Hooked on Classics]], a series of albums issued by K-Tel in the 1980s, where classical music was presented with a disco or dance beat.
*Crazy Uncle Edgar, with his bucket hat and cigarette holder, is likely a reference to [[wikipedia:Hunter S Thompson|Hunter S. Thompson]] who was also known for his drunken antics.
*In the background of "hanging out at the mall", it mentions [[Wikipedia:Burdines|Burdines]], a Florida-based department store absorbed by Macy's in 2004, and [[Wikipedia:Babbage's|Babbage's]], which was absorbed by [[Wikipedia:GameStop|GameStop]].
*The boxart for "Sword Thong: Gold Edition" bears a slight resemblance to the boxart of the Playstation 3 game [[wikipedia:Heavenly Sword|Heavenly Sword]].

'''Peacey P''' is a well-known rapper. [[The Ugly One]] is a fan of his, and he first appeared when The Ugly One misunderstood when [[What's Her Face]] mentioned [[Wikipedia:Phencyclidine|PCP]]. In addition to PCP, his name bears a striking resemblance to [[Wikipedia:Eazy-E|Eazy-E]] and [[Wikipedia:Percee P|Percee P]]. His voice resembles that of [[Wikipedia:Snoop Dogg|Snoop Dogg]]. His speech is very muddled, and some of what he says is unintelligible. This is especially the case in [[Powered by The Cheat]] segments, when he doesn't say anything remotely intelligible at all. He has a symbolized representation of his name ("☮y P") on his shirt, and a very large [[afro]]. His album ''Deliberance'' was released on [[Crample-O Stow Records]]. According to Teen Girl Squad Issue #13, ''Deliberance'' "drops next Sursdai." His favorite phrase is "y'all biscuitheads."

Peacey P is primarily known as a guest rapper, and has even guest-starred on his own album. His self proclamation as "the best guest rapper in the music biz" may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Nate Dogg|Nate Dogg]], who is better known for being featured on the hooks of many hit hip hop tracks. It is worth noting that Peacey P has never actually appeared in [[Free Country, USA]]. He has only ever been portrayed in [[Teen Girl Squad]] and [[Powered by The Cheat]], except for a stylized appearance while advertising for [[Blubb-O's]].

[[Homestar Runner]] wears a Peacey P shirt in [[Main Page 24]].

== Welcome ==

Welcome to the wiki. I noticed on your user page you were wondering "how to make a proper list" .. there are a couple ways to do this. If you want a numbered list, begin every line with a # and the following will be the result:

#Pong
#Asteroids
#Frogger

Or if you want a bulleted list, begin every line with a * instead, and this will happen:

*Pac-Man
*Donkey Kong
*Space Invaders

Hope that helps. And I look forward to seeing your contributions to the wiki! {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 20:48, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks a bunch, man. I've credited you on the A Little About Me section. Maybe it'll earn you s'more publicity.
P.S. Can you tell me how you got a sig with your Wiki username?
Posted by Corruption 13:36 PM October 5, 2008 (EST)
:Sure. Typing <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> will add your sig. Give it a try. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 17:45, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Alright, here goes nothin. [[User:Corruption|Corruption]] 17:48, 5 October 2008 (UTC) It's a timestamp. I meant a picture, but it's ok. I found a help page on it, but thanks anyways. 
[[User:Corruption|Corruption]] 17:48, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
:If you need any specific help, feel free to ask away. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 18:21, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank'ee very much. I appreciate it. {{User:Corruption/sig}} 18:33, 5 October 2008 (UTC) 
P.S. I looked at your userpage, you do really well with pictures. I wish I was that good, all I've got is MS Paint.

== Using Show Preview ==
[[Image:Show preview.png|539px|thumb|That one]]
Hello Corruption, I see that you have made several consecutive edits to the same page. I want to point out the Show Preview button. It's right next to the Save Page button when you edit. You should use it whenever you are making a lot of experimental edits, for example when you are trying to get formatting right. Using the Show Preview button is quicker and easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and will keep [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] and page histories from being flooded.
Please note that this works with anything, so you don't have to keep pressing '''Save Page'''.

Thanks, {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}}

Dearest form letter, 
I already knew that.

Hi there, i've noticed you've been correcting spelling on other peoples' pages and talk posts. please to be refraining from doing this. those posts should stand as they were made, especially the ones on archives. Thanks, hope that helps. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:48, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Eek, sorry. I'll be more careful. {{User:Corruption/sig}}

:Also, "Actually" is spelled with two L's. did you know that? {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 18:50, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

You know what? I actually did. So, DeFender, does that mean I can't correct your spelling of be? {{User:Corruption/sig}}
:I umm... i did that on purpose... umm... to see if you... umm... would ignore me and... correct it... anyway? >_> {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:58, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Okay, you have... a lot... of sentences... that are trailing... off... {{User:Corruption/sig}}
:That was all one sentence, said slow as if i was making it up as i went along... {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:02, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

I see. Unless there is anything else I need to be lectured about, this is over. {{User:Corruption/sig}}

== Super Mario World ==

Hi, I noticed that you wanted the old game for the SNES called Super Mario World. I wanted to tell you that that game is WELL worth your money. I love the music and the levels, buy it. You won't regret it. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}}

Actually, I don't want it for the SNES, I'd like it for Virtual Console. Ooh, that reminds me, I gotta add Super Mario RPG to the list. {{User:Corruption/sig}} 21:10, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

That's what I meant. For the Virtual Console. I have it on my Wii too. It's fun! {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}}

== Prime 3 ==

I highly suggest getting Prime 3. It is one of the best Wii games I've played, and in my opinion, the best of the Metroid Prime series. --{{User:AwkwardFire/sig}} 17:53, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Uzi Bazooka

2008-12-14T17:45:23Z

AwkwardFire: minor grammar fix.

[[Image:UziBazooka.PNG|thumb|right|Uzi Bazooka]]
'''Uzi Bazooka''' is a [[robot]] created by [[Craig]] in [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]], played by [[Homestar Runner]]. He was made to make [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] believe [[Dangeresque Too]] had betrayed him. He looks just like Homestar Runner with a circuit board taped to his chest.

Uzi Bazooka is quite an evil villain. In the events of Dangeresque 3, he kidnapped both [[Renaldo]] and [[Cutesy Buttons]], and murdered Dangeresque's father, [[Dadgeresque]]. He was eventually destroyed by Dangeresque, using Craig's diamond-tipped drill.

During extended play, clicking on Uzi Bazooka shows a deleted scene where Dangeresque goes into his hollow body and becomes "Luger Machete".

AwkwardFire: /* Caption */

== TV Time Preview? ==
Just because the preview in the TV Time Toons Menu has a lower framerate, doesn't mean that it's playing at a different speed than the toon. It doesn't play as smoothly, but if the Chaps put every other frame in the preview, then it would play at the exact same speed. Does anyone have any objections? [[User:Krazykevin2000|Krazykevin2000]] 11:40, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

== WAD Files ==
I've had this same issue on the Homestar Ruiner page. They are not used for WiiWare and VC titles, at least not officially. In fact, he's loading the file on his Lappy, so I think it's only referring to a DOOM Wad, which has been used a few times before in the H*R universe [[User:Krazykevin2000|Krazykevin2000]] 11:18, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

== NES poster ==

Man, there are so many awesome Inside References in this! Temporarios, Suge Brown, the plaques from [[no loafing]], and the Videlectrix poster in the stairwell is a parody of [http://trsrockin.com/images/powerposter.jpg this NES poster]! I probably have 15 of those in a box somewhere :D {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:16, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

::As a side-note, the poster depicted above, and the one Trey linked to, are actually different. Most notably to me, being a longtime RPG fan, the middle left side of Trey's picture shows Dragon Warrior and Faxanadu, while the one in the comparison shot has Metroid and Kid Icarus. Interesting... -{{User:YK/sig}} 23:48, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Yeah, I noticed that too... my guess is that there are a bunch of variants with different games. I should see if I have any ones that are different... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 00:02, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
:::At that, does anyone know which games are depicted on the Videlectrix poster? I can see [[Secret Collect.]], [[StrongBadZone]] and [[RhinoFeeder]], and [[Thy Dungeonman]] in the upper left... [[Thy Dungeonman II]] and [[Thy Dungeonman 3]] on the upper right, and I think I see [[Pigs on Head]] in the lower left corner... any others? -{{User:YK/sig}} 23:52, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

All right, I got it now...

Upper left corner:
[[Secret Collect.]], [[StrongBadZone]], [[RhinoFeeder]]
[[Thy Dungeonman]], [[50k Racewalker]]

Upper right corner:
[[Thy Dungeonman 3]], [[Thy Dungeonman II]]

Middle left:
[[Duck Guardian One]]
[[Duck Guardian 2]], [[Pigs on Head]]

Middle right:
[[Planet Alert]], [[Hallrunner]]

Lower left:
[[Spaceshipper]] (?), [[Stinkoman]] (forgot the actual name)

I think that's all of them... -{{User:YK/sig}}

== 404'd, or not ready? ==

Whoever made the edit of "not yet active," was it just 404'd? I'd like to put that in Trivia if it was, because it exists now, but only with a message. --[[User:76.210.181.251|76.210.181.251]] 21:28, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

:::Well, apparently SOMEONE on the wiki thinks it's Mii-ware and not Me-where. Type in sbcg4ap on the search box.

== Title Change? ==

In the TV Time Toons Menu, it's listed under "SBCG4AP," just like the HTML file for it. Should we move the article when we get the transcript done? --[[User:76.210.181.251|76.210.181.251]] 21:45, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:Telltale Games' website also calls the video by that name, so I would support a move. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 16:20, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
::I don't think that's a good idea. The title as it is is descriptive, and explains its relationship to the forthcoming game. By contrast, the abbreviated title is not very descriptive, and likely only appears on the toons page because this one is too long. Keep where it is. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:07, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
:::The article's current title also makes it ridiculously easy to get it and [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People Gameplay Trailer]] mixed up. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 18:55, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Hence the disambiguation. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 18:58, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::I'd say that things would get more confusing if this article was moved, as SBCG4AP is given in this toon as the abbreviation for the game itself, and thus would serve more use as a redirect to the game page instead of as a new home for this one. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 19:29, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
::::::I agree 100%: SBCG4AP is being used everywhere as the abbreviation for the game, so that page should redirect to the game, and this article should not be moved there. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 05:53, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Could we compromise and move it to [[SBCG4AP Advertisement]]? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 12:58, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
:That's a reasonable idea, and it would also make the title easier to read at a glance. If we do that, we should also move the gameplay trailer to [[SBCG4AP Gameplay Trailer]], I think. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 16:18, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
::Agreed with Trey's comments above. The current title is way too long and clanky. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 23:43, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
:::That may shorten the wiki's title, but it's not the actual name. I think we should stick with the game's unnecessarily long name. I say no move. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 01:09, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
::::It might not be the exact actual name, but compare it to the name being used in the menu and it's actually closer than the current title is. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 01:28, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::I should point out, though, that there is no official name for this toon. The toon menu refers to this as "SBCG4AP", the URL title is "sbcg4ap.html", and the Telltale website refers to it as "SBCG4AP Flash Short". The current title was just something I picked to be descriptive and differentiate it from the game itself.

:::::Increasingly, I'm liking the idea of moving this to [[SBCG4AP Advertisement]] and moving the gameplay trailer to [[SBCG4AP Gameplay Trailer]] — the abbreviation is working well for [[SBCG4AP Dev Blog]], and I think it would for these pages too. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 07:09, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Would anyone object if I moved the article? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 02:23, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
:If it helps with the consensus building, I like the idea of having change to [[SBCG4AP Advertisement]] as well. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 03:13, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

::Okay, there was good consensus to move with few objections, so I moved the two pages and updated all the links to them. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:33, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

== Rabid dog? ==

I hear "rabbit dog", not "rabid dog" as one of the Real World Refs calls it. On second though, we should probably wait until the transcript is done. [[User:Dementedc|Dementedc]] 21:48, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:Funny, I hear that too. But I'm not sure it makes enough sense to put down. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:49, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
::I think it does. Sam is way more of a "rabbit" dog (a hybrid of a rabbit and a dog, with his vaguely bunnyish ears) than a "rabid" dog. [[User:Dementedc|Dementedc]] 21:54, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Ooh, insider information; it's "rabbit dog": [http://telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4875&page=2]. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:27, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
I think the "Rabbitdog and Bunnyman" part may be intended as a reference to the 80's alternative band, Echo & The Bunnymen. It would also justify his pronunciation of Bunnyman as "Bunnym'n"

== Glitch? ==

Is this thing playing choppy on anyone else's computers as well? It's still funnier than rated though. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 22:05, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
*What parts are choppy? Or is it just occasional? --[[User:76.210.181.251|76.210.181.251]] 22:11, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:I didn't notice any glitchy problems, but I did notice a big increase in the frame rate. {{User:Super Turtle/sig}} 22:19, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

:This swf is streaming off of our (Telltale's) CDN instead of TBC's servers since the whole thing is pretty big. It may be that it was the increased size that sabotaged you.
::You're not alone. The trailer constantly stutters on my computer, especially when Homestar turns up. (''"A-w m-a-n, t-hi-s d-an-g ol-' re-mo-t-e c-o-nt-r-ol..."'') Once again, I point the blame squarely at the server. If this is the case, then all we can do is come back later and try again. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 20:24, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Plus, if you look at your statusbar closely, the preloader doesn't preload the whole movie before the movie starts. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
::::Ok, since the movie plays before the entire trailer is finished loading, I've found a solution to the stuttering: start the trailer, then turn off your speakers and do something else for five minutes. Once the trailer has finally loaded and played through once, go back and play the trailer again. Because the movie has been temporarily downloaded and stored in the computer's memory, it should now play smoothly. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 19:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::Or, you could go to, like, a video game review site and they will almost definately have this movie as part of the article on the upcoming game. Just let it buffer for a little while, and then watch it through. Specifically, I would recommend [http://www.gamespot.com/ GameSpot]. {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}

== What dimension? ==

I'm actually not listening right now, as now isn't an opportune time, but wouldn't it make more sense for Strong Bad to give the "3 Ds" as "'''''Depth''''', Dimension, and Dumb idiots"? Or at least something that begins with a D? "Yeah" seems out of context. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:34, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
:Corrected. It didn't make much sense, but I had trouble hearing that - now you say "Depth" it makes perfect sense and sounds right. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 22:39, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== SOOOOOOOOOOoo fast! ==

Is it just me, or did the things in this "commercial" move faster than most homestar stuff?
:Yes, things seem to move "faster" due to the higher framerate as stated in the Trivia section. I only wish they would use this all the time. Looks so much better. Probably requires a lot more work though. {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 05:47, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

::Yep. TBC have talked about this in interviews 'n stuff. [[Georgia Tech - 26 Apr 2007]] comes to mind; here's a quote from that:
<blockquote>
'''MIKE:''' Um, and that's how we learned to animate, so we have rarely...done a few things at 18 or 24 frames a second, and of course it takes us way longer, so we, we stick with 12.
</blockquote>
::Good thing to watch if you haven't watched it already. And as far as I'm concerned, they can keep doing it at 12 if it means a new cartoon just about every week (as they mention in that public appearance). {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 06:24, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:::I would definitely rather have faster updates than faster framerates {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 08:11, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
::::Agreed with Joshr915. I'd love faster updates too. Although with faster framerates, it means tweens/etc. have to be on the movie set for longer. When you lower the framerate, they don't have to be on as long. I think it may have something to do with the fact that TBC wants to not have their movies over a certain filesize too. More frames means bigger size. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

== They're not serious, are they? ==

...are they? --{{User:Haldo/sig}} 23:04, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

== Let me guess...==

...some really late and meticulous April Fools day prank? {{unsigned|Del20nd|00:33, 11 April 2008}}

:I really don't understand why you people don't understand reality is reality. This is '''REAL''', and it is '''REALLY''' going to happen. They have the press release, which states it's real. TBC have contributed, and TellTale games went to a lot of freakin' trouble makin' this, I'm going to guess. TBC didn't make those graphics by themselves, and one company wouldn't go to that much trouble putting what I'm guessing was around about 3-6 months into just making 3d graphics and screenshots, pages on their official website, etc., for like, 2 cartoons about 3 minutes long a piece. If this isn't real, than somebody call me cap'n of the gravy train, and shoot me hard with a water-pistol. Not that that would hurt anyway, but still: THIS WILL HAPPEN. I guarantee it. [[User:DevonM|DevonM]] 00:39, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

::As will I :) --[[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] 00:44, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

::But there's also the fact that... um... IT'S NOT APRIL FIRST. Seriously, this is why I hate the internet and magazines with regard to April Fool's Day, you start getting accusations of early jokes and late jokes, and people posting stuff later on thinking it's true, causing other people to think it's true until they find out the source... Jokes should only be ON April 1st. So no, this is real. -[[User:ComputerBox|ComputerBox]] 03:42, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

On a second note, you an clearly see the game "Coming soon" in the wii games on the games page. [[User:F123979|F123979]]
:ya, not to mention I've already seen this on a billion news blogs already. Should be sweet and extra real :P

== Real email? ==

Hrm, was just wondering.. is this a real email, or did TBC/Telltale make it up for the purposes of the ad? I guess the same will go for the emails in the game itself, since the trailer shows that you'll be able to see some. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 00:52, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:We don't know, and we can only speculate - especially about the in-game emails. I'm assuming that the email from this ad is made-up, since it says that this is not a real sbemail.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 01:03, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
::According to [http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showpost.php?p=62067&postcount=5 this Telltale Games forums post], all emails in the game will be made up for legal reasons. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 11:50, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

::: Since you all probably missed the e-mail song at the beginning (I'm assuming this by the way the discussion is going) but strong bad himself says he's checking e-mails for money. Meaning Tell Tale Games paid him to do it, which is true. Because if you make an advertisement, you must pay the actors that appear in it. Although you can always force the actors to be listed as "volunteers." I don't think that's fair though. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
::::Uh...Iyeru, most sbemail songs aren't actually relevant to the email itself. I don't know off the top of my head if there's another sbemail that has a reference to him "being paid" to check emails, but I'm sure there's probably one somewhere. And you don't have to pay the actors, its usually just standard to do so. {{User:DevonM/sig}}

==Strong Bad's House==
Forgive me if one of these already exists but... Someone should study that toon and create a layout of Strong Bad's house. Well, at least as complete a diagram as possible with the rooms he showed. {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 05:51, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
:Seeing the trailer, I think the layout we saw here is actually going to in-game. (This is just a speculation) I think we shouldn't rush off, since if we wait we can just play the game, and that will be much easier. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 07:38, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
::If his whole house is in the game that would definitely be easier, ya. {{User:Joshr915/sig}} 08:12, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

:I also believe the DVDs outline some of his house too. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

== Incorrect ==

The folloing remark:

The link at the end of the ad, "learn more at telltalegames.com", was inactive at first, and activated soon after the cartoon's release. Now, however, the link is not clickable at all, neither is the back button next to it. However, it is clickable in the Flash File.

...I believe isn't true. I have watched the toon on the website three times now, and the link to telltalegames.com works, as well as the back button. I am wanting to know what we should do with this knowledge. [[User:Andrewnuva199|Andrewnuva199]] 18:45, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

== Greasemonkey Seekbar Errors? ==

Is anyone else finding it impossible to navigate this toon using the Greasemonkey seekbar script?{{User:Bassbone/sig}} 08:23, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
:My theory is it is because the Flash file is hosted on another site. The seekbar attempts to work but fails. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 08:38, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
::Your theory is correct. If you host the Flash file and the HTML file on the same site, the seekbar works fine. It's just Flash's security at work... massively oversimplified, it boils down to "stuff from different sites can't interact"... JavaScript stuff, like the GM script, are treated by Flash as if they were part of the HTML page (because, for all it can tell, they ''could'' be)... which was served by www.homestarrunner.com. They're trying to interact with the SWF file, which comes from telltale.vo.llnwd.net. So they're different sites, and Flash severely limits what the JavaScript can access... it can read where the Flash movie is up to (so the seekbar works as a progress bar, subtitles should still work, etc), but you can't seek, or pause, or anything like that. There's not much I can do about it... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 08:54, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

== 3D Style ==

The 3D-Style shown throughout the advertisement looks similar to Google's Sketch-Up way of rendering by a lot. Is this notable? (If this were made in blender, it would have taken a long, long, long time to make it so simply.) {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:Although I have no clue if this is true or not, I remember reading something on the Telltale FAQ that they made all the stuff in what they call the "Telltale Tool". {{User:DevonM/sig}}
::Although I believe there's no downloads for that tool. You can see other places where they discuss it, like [http://www.adventuregamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14355 here] and maybe... [http://www.telltalearcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3381 here]. Seems it'll probably be purchase only though. So if I went into the 3D-business, I'd probably use Blender.org's tool. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

:::Correct. The Telltale Tool is our custom developed in-house game engine and development tool. We don't release it for download or purchase. The shipping versions of the game include a very stripped down version of the tool that contains only what is needed to run the game. Blender is something altogether different. For our modelling, we use Maya. — [[User:Tabacco|Tabacco]] ([[User talk:Tabacco|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Tabacco|contribs]]) 18:42, 12 April 2008 (left [[HRWiki:Standards#Do sign your Talk posts|unsigned]])

:::::::Man, at this point I'm not even sure what you're talking about. You're confusing the game engine and the tools we use to make the game with the game itself, and somehow confusing the tool used to model characters and environments with the game as well.

"It may be a fun game, but that doesn't mean it's going to go good for you" sounds like a suggestion to drop the whole thing because... well, why really?

== AdVERtisement ==
The entry describing the pronunciation of "advertisement" doesn't need to be included. Strong Bad is pronouncing the word correctly. "AD-ver-TISE-ment" is a common error which has become so ubiquitous that it is often viewed as correct. It is analogous to foliage ("foil-age" instead of "fol-ee-age") or nuclear ("nuke-u-ler" instead of "new-clear"). Pronouncing a common word properly is not an inside reference. — [[User:99.254.79.96|99.254.79.96]] ([[User talk:99.254.79.96|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/99.254.79.96|contribs]]) 18:25, 13 April 2008 (left [[HRWiki:Standards#Do sign your Talk posts|unsigned]])
:Yeah, but its an inside reference because most people don't pronounce it "ad-ver-tis-ment". They pronounce it the other way. And I don't think that "advertisment" is the right way to pronounce it. Can you show some proof? [[User:DevonM|DevonM]] 18:28, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
::At least here in the States, AD-ver-TISE-ment is standard (see [http://www.bartleby.com/61/56/A0105600.html American Heritage Dictionary], [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/advertisement Merriam-Webster]).

:::I thought the same thing, actually - I wrote the transcript for this, but the first line was already there, and I originally removed the pronunciation 'stage direction' because it seemed perfectly normal to me, what with my being English. Since other people evidently found it worth remarking on, I guessed it was something to do with US pronunciation. Not sure how that happened though; "AD-ver-TISE-ment" sounds rather clumsy, like someone sounding out a word they'd not seen before, whereas "ad-VER-tis-ment" runs off the tongue better. Of course, I say "fol-ee-age" and "new-clear" (kind of.. "new-clee-ar"?) too.. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 02:05, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

== Wii browser ==

The Wii's Internet Channel runs Flash Player 7... this clip is obviously designed for a later version of Flash Player. Is this that notable? Many H*R things (especially the games) don't work in earlier versions of the Flash player, and we tend not to note it as a glitch... it's just another Flash artefact (which would go under Remarks if we felt the need to mention it at all). I don't want to delete it without discussion, since it's so long and detailed, and quite a few people have worked on it... but I really don't think it needs to be noted, certainly not as a Glitch. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 10:20, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
:I agree, this is not notable. The ad was simply not designed to be watched on a wii - which is not out of the ordinary.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 11:38, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

:I also have to agree. However, this depends on the base of the browser as well. The nDS Browser is Opera, which can be updated to have Flash Player 8+ but only if you are able to save the flash installer to a harddrive, which the DS lacks. Although I'm sure nintendo made their own browser for the Wii. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
::Nope, the Internet Channel is Opera as well. However, I think most of the Opera stuff save for web browsing has been cut out or modified, so even if you could save the Flash 9 installer, you probably wouldn't be able to install it (I think it needs a special version of the Flash SDK, which Adobe has refused to provide for versions after 7). But yeah, this is a general Flash 7 or below problem, which doesn't really need to be mentioned (unless it does something interesting like the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu#Trivia|games menu]] does when accessed using an older version of Flash). --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 16:10, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
::Yeah, you can't update the Wii's Flash, you have to wait for Nintendo and Opera to do it. -[[User:ComputerBox|ComputerBox]] 11:32, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

:*You guys are making a lot of seriously off assumptions about how console versions of Opera operate. First of all, The Wii and the DS have different processors than PCs do (IIRC DS has ARM9 + ARM7, Wii has... PowerPC? GameCube had a PowerPC so I guess Wii does too?). They are not compatible with the x86 of Windows PCs. Furthermore you will note that Flash has different installers and binaries for each OS: Windows, Mac, and Linux. Because of this it is simple to come to the realization that specific versions of Flash would also need to be compiled for the DS and the Wii.

::Since the Wii allows for channel updates it is possible Opera will release updates for their browser on that platform along with an updated Flash binary. They already updated the Flash support once to allow for USB keyboard input (I don't believe this is documented), although they might not have had to actually change the Flash binary itself for that.

::Flash is owned by Adobe and so there might be contractual issues between Opera/Adobe/Nintendo that would interfere with efforts to distribute updated versions of the Flash client software (although they don't seem to have any hesitation about doing it on PCs). Venusy's suggestion about why sounds as good as any to me.

::The DS cart is read-only like all other Nintendo carts so it cannot be upgraded. We may see a "Nintendo DS Browser 2" released but that would upset users who bought the first one so I doubt Nintendo would go through that trouble.

::Hopefully this is clearer for some people now. --[[User:70.104.78.138|70.104.78.138]] 21:34, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

==First 3-D clip: Real-World Reference?==

Does anyone recognize the background on the first 3-D clip shown in this thing? It looks really familiar, but I can't place it.

== Pixel mistake in Kev's email? ==

I had added in the real-world references that a "pixel" is actually any of the millions of tiny dots of light on a computer's monitor, and that it would have been more correct for Kev to write something like "sprite," but it was reverted back. It's my understanding that everything on the screen is made of pixels, even both 2D and 3D games. Am I mistaken? Or is this too irrelevant or too technical to be worth bringing up in the article?
--[[User:71.105.195.253|71.105.195.253]] 08:57, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
:I'm pretty sure Kev was referring to [[Wikipedia:Pixelation|pixelation]]... he didn't want one of those old-school console games (that SB is such a fan of) where the pixels are clearly visible. Anyways, we tend to not make a habit of pointing out the errors in the actual emails, unless SB points them out, or they're particularly notable. Though, perhaps it might be worth revisiting that if the email turns out to have been made up by TBC/Telltale, as has been [[#Real email?|suggested]]... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 09:06, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
::Note also that the sender doesn't mind 3D graphics made of pixels, as long as the pixels aren't dumb ones. How can you tell if a pixel is dumb?

== About the N64... ==

It is true that it does display 3D stuff, but the SNES with its 32-bits also was capable of this in many instances (IE: Final Fantasy Series when you flew in the airship, the horizon would look like it was bent.) I believe [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarFox_%28SNES%29 Starfox (SNES)] was also such a reference. Although yes, SB was referring to the N64, the N64 wasn't the first Nintendo System to be made to display 3D Polygons. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
: You misunderstand. The N64 was made specifically to display 3D Polygons; the SNES just simply had the capability, which often required extra graphics chips on the carts themselves. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:41, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
: And for the record, one of those graphics chips I mentioned was heavily advertised when Star Fox came out: the Super FX chip. It was also used in a few other first-party Nintendo games that utilized 3D graphics (even Yoshi's Island, though YI's 3D graphics were much rarer than Star Fox's. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:43, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

::Didn't SB reference the SFX Chip? o_O {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

::: Yes, I suppose he does. My point, however, was that the SNES wasn't really capable of much 3D on its own - the Super FX chip is on the games themselves. Other than that, best it could do for the most part was Mode 7 (the Final Fantasy airship example you mentioned was Mode 7), and Mode 7 could only make backgrounds look kinda 3Dish. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:26, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

::::All Mode 7 can do is turn a background into a 3d-ish ground... completely flat. The only things that can "pop-up" from the ground are sprites which can be scaled or darkened and moved to give the illusion of distance. Play the original Super Mario Kart for a good example, where sometimes it is hard to see the walls of the map until you have already hit them and stopped. Or play Mario Kart Super Circuit for the GBA which uses the exact same effects as a base. This is a far cry from the Super FX chip which allowed for true 3D (see Starfox or the leaked Starfox 2). In-console support for 3D would come for Nintendo with the Nintendo 64. --[[User:70.104.78.138|70.104.78.138]] 21:42, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

== smoother animation ==

:That's because this toon has double the frame rate, to match up with the gameplay, which leads to smoother (and faster) looking animation, at least in the two D part [that is with only dimensions and dumb idiots] {{User:Flashfight/sig}} 00:35, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
::Double the framerate, double the FUN! Sounds like a Strong Bad gum... {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 20:00, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Just like it says in about 2 more above topics. The reason why they don't normally go beyond their 12-frame rate usual is that it takes so much longer to make the toon (double the frames, double the animation, twice as long to make). {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}

== 24 or 30? ==

In trivia:
*This cartoon appears to be in '''24 frames per second''' for the 3D cutscenes, instead of the usual 12. This makes the animation smoother and appear faster than usual, which explains why the characters' mouths move so fast. The last frame rate "substitute" was in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]], when it was bumped up to 20 fps for a 3D effect.
but in remarks:
*Even though the toon and its [[HR:menuswfs/menu_sbcg4ap.swf|preview]] are animated at '''30 frames per second''', the [[TV Time Toons Menu]] is 12 frames per second, which causes the preview to play slower.
so? which is it? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:23, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
:I'm very sure it's 24 fps. I decompiled it a while ago, and that's what it said in Flash's "Proporties" box. Also, I think I was the one who changed it from 30 to 24...well, I don't have time to prove that. I just know it's 24.

Just because the preview in the TV Time Toons Menu has a lower framerate, doesn't mean that it's playing at a different speed than the toon.

I think the "Rabbitdog and Bunnyman" part may be intended as a reference to the 80's alternative band, Echo & The Bunnymen. It would also justify his pronunciation of Bunnyman as "Bunnym'n"

:This swf is streaming off of our (Telltale's) CDN instead of TBC's servers since the whole thing is pretty big. It may be that it was the increased size that sabotaged you.
::You're not alone. The trailer constantly stutters on my computer, especially when Homestar turns up. (''"A-w m-a-n, t-hi-s d-an-g ol-' re-mo-t-e c-o-nt-r-ol..."'')

:::Plus, if you look at your statusbar closely, the preloader doesn't preload the whole movie before the movie starts. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
::::Ok, since the movie plays before the entire trailer is finished loading, I've found a solution to the stuttering: start the trailer, then turn off your speakers and do something else for five minutes. Once the trailer has finally loaded and played through once, go back and play the trailer again. Because the movie has been temporarily downloaded and stored in the computer's memory, it should now play smoothly. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 19:26, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::Or, you could go to, like, a video game review site and they will almost definately have this movie as part of the article on the upcoming game.

== What dimension? ==

I'm actually not listening right now, as now isn't an opportune time, but wouldn't it make more sense for Strong Bad to give the "3 Ds" as "'''''Depth''''', Dimension, and Dumb idiots"? Or at least something that begins with a D? "Yeah" seems out of context. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:34, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Is it just me, or did the things in this "commercial" move faster than most homestar stuff?

::Yep. TBC have talked about this in interviews 'n stuff. [[Georgia Tech - 26 Apr 2007]] comes to mind; here's a quote from that:

TBC have contributed, and TellTale games went to a lot of freakin' trouble makin' this, I'm going to guess. TBC didn't make those graphics by themselves, and one company wouldn't go to that much trouble putting what I'm guessing was around about 3-6 months into just making 3d graphics and screenshots, pages on their official website, etc., for like, 2 cartoons about 3 minutes long a piece.

::: Since you all probably missed the e-mail song at the beginning (I'm assuming this by the way the discussion is going) but strong bad himself says he's checking e-mails for money. Meaning Tell Tale Games paid him to do it, which is true. Because if you make an advertisement, you must pay the actors that appear in it. Although you can always force the actors to be listed as "volunteers." I don't think that's fair though. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
::::Uh...Iyeru, most sbemail songs aren't actually relevant to the email itself. I don't know off the top of my head if there's another sbemail that has a reference to him "being paid" to check emails, but I'm sure there's probably one somewhere. And you don't have to pay the actors, its usually just standard to do so. {{User:DevonM/sig}}

==Strong Bad's House==

The folloing remark:

The link at the end of the ad, "learn more at telltalegames.com", was inactive at first, and activated soon after the cartoon's release. Now, however, the link is not clickable at all, neither is the back button next to it. However, it is clickable in the Flash File.

== Greasemonkey Seekbar Errors? ==

Is anyone else finding it impossible to navigate this toon using the Greasemonkey seekbar script?{{User:Bassbone/sig}} 08:23, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
:My theory is it is because the Flash file is hosted on another site. The seekbar attempts to work but fails. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 08:38, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
::Your theory is correct. If you host the Flash file and the HTML file on the same site, the seekbar works fine. It's just Flash's security at work... massively oversimplified, it boils down to "stuff from different sites can't interact"... JavaScript stuff, like the GM script, are treated by Flash as if they were part of the HTML page (because, for all it can tell, they ''could'' be)... which was served by www.homestarrunner.com. They're trying to interact with the SWF file, which comes from telltale.vo.llnwd.net. So they're different sites, and Flash severely limits what the JavaScript can access... it can read where the Flash movie is up to (so the seekbar works as a progress bar, subtitles should still work, etc), but you can't seek, or pause, or anything like that. There's not much I can do about it... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 08:54, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

== 3D Style ==

The 3D-Style shown throughout the advertisement looks similar to Google's Sketch-Up way of rendering by a lot. Is this notable? (If this were made in blender, it would have taken a long, long, long time to make it so simply.) {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
:Although I have no clue if this is true or not, I remember reading something on the Telltale FAQ that they made all the stuff in what they call the "Telltale Tool". {{User:DevonM/sig}}
::Although I believe there's no downloads for that tool. You can see other places where they discuss it, like [http://www.adventuregamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14355 here] and maybe... [http://www.telltalearcade.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3381 here]. Seems it'll probably be purchase only though. So if I went into the 3D-business, I'd probably use Blender.org's tool. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

:::Correct. The Telltale Tool is our custom developed in-house game engine and development tool. We don't release it for download or purchase. The shipping versions of the game include a very stripped down version of the tool that contains only what is needed to run the game. Blender is something altogether different.

== AdVERtisement ==
The entry describing the pronunciation of "advertisement" doesn't need to be included. Strong Bad is pronouncing the word correctly. "AD-ver-TISE-ment" is a common error which has become so ubiquitous that it is often viewed as correct. It is analogous to foliage ("foil-age" instead of "fol-ee-age") or nuclear ("nuke-u-ler" instead of "new-clear"). Pronouncing a common word properly is not an inside reference. — [[User:99.254.79.96|99.254.79.96]] ([[User talk:99.254.79.96|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/99.254.79.96|contribs]]) 18:25, 13 April 2008 (left [[HRWiki:Standards#Do sign your Talk posts|unsigned]])

:::I thought the same thing, actually - I wrote the transcript for this, but the first line was already there, and I originally removed the pronunciation 'stage direction' because it seemed perfectly normal to me, what with my being English. Since other people evidently found it worth remarking on, I guessed it was something to do with US pronunciation. Not sure how that happened though; "AD-ver-TISE-ment" sounds rather clumsy, like someone sounding out a word they'd not seen before, whereas "ad-VER-tis-ment" runs off the tongue better.

== Wii browser ==

The Wii's Internet Channel runs Flash Player 7... this clip is obviously designed for a later version of Flash Player. Is this that notable? Many H*R things (especially the games) don't work in earlier versions of the Flash player, and we tend not to note it as a glitch... it's just another Flash artefact (which would go under Remarks if we felt the need to mention it at all). I don't want to delete it without discussion, since it's so long and detailed, and quite a few people have worked on it... but I really don't think it needs to be noted, certainly not as a Glitch. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 10:20, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
:I agree, this is not notable. The ad was simply not designed to be watched on a wii - which is not out of the ordinary.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 11:38, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

:I also have to agree. However, this depends on the base of the browser as well. The nDS Browser is Opera, which can be updated to have Flash Player 8+ but only if you are able to save the flash installer to a harddrive, which the DS lacks. Although I'm sure nintendo made their own browser for the Wii. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
::Nope, the Internet Channel is Opera as well. However, I think most of the Opera stuff save for web browsing has been cut out or modified, so even if you could save the Flash 9 installer, you probably wouldn't be able to install it (I think it needs a special version of the Flash SDK, which Adobe has refused to provide for versions after 7). But yeah, this is a general Flash 7 or below problem, which doesn't really need to be mentioned (unless it does something interesting like the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu#Trivia|games menu]] does when accessed using an older version of Flash). --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 16:10, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
::Yeah, you can't update the Wii's Flash, you have to wait for Nintendo and Opera to do it. -[[User:ComputerBox|ComputerBox]] 11:32, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

:*You guys are making a lot of seriously off assumptions about how console versions of Opera operate. First of all, The Wii and the DS have different processors than PCs do (IIRC DS has ARM9 + ARM7, Wii has... PowerPC? GameCube had a PowerPC so I guess Wii does too?). They are not compatible with the x86 of Windows PCs. Furthermore you will note that Flash has different installers and binaries for each OS: Windows, Mac, and Linux. Because of this it is simple to come to the realization that specific versions of Flash would also need to be compiled for the DS and the Wii.

::Since the Wii allows for channel updates it is possible Opera will release updates for their browser on that platform along with an updated Flash binary. They already updated the Flash support once to allow for USB keyboard input (I don't believe this is documented), although they might not have had to actually change the Flash binary itself for that.

::Flash is owned by Adobe and so there might be contractual issues between Opera/Adobe/Nintendo that would interfere with efforts to distribute updated versions of the Flash client software (although they don't seem to have any hesitation about doing it on PCs). Venusy's suggestion about why sounds as good as any to me.

::The DS cart is read-only like all other Nintendo carts so it cannot be upgraded. We may see a "Nintendo DS Browser 2" released but that would upset users who bought the first one so I doubt Nintendo would go through that trouble.

:It does look like an old LucasArts game, yes, of the Day of the Tentacle sort. I'm not sure if it actually is one, though, or just in that style. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 12:25, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

== Pixel mistake in Kev's email? ==

I had added in the real-world references that a "pixel" is actually any of the millions of tiny dots of light on a computer's monitor, and that it would have been more correct for Kev to write something like "sprite," but it was reverted back. It's my understanding that everything on the screen is made of pixels, even both 2D and 3D games. Am I mistaken? Or is this too irrelevant or too technical to be worth bringing up in the article?
--[[User:71.105.195.253|71.105.195.253]] 08:57, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
:I'm pretty sure Kev was referring to [[Wikipedia:Pixelation|pixelation]]... he didn't want one of those old-school console games (that SB is such a fan of) where the pixels are clearly visible. Anyways, we tend to not make a habit of pointing out the errors in the actual emails, unless SB points them out, or they're particularly notable. Though, perhaps it might be worth revisiting that if the email turns out to have been made up by TBC/Telltale, as has been [[#Real email?|suggested]]... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 09:06, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
::Note also that the sender doesn't mind 3D graphics made of pixels, as long as the pixels aren't dumb ones. How can you tell if a pixel is dumb? Well, you see, you use the [[butt IQ|Transitive Pixel Property]], which states that dumbness of a game's pixels is greater than or equal to the dumbness of that game's sprites, and .... *continues to drone on*.-[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 20:44, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

== About the N64... ==

It is true that it does display 3D stuff, but the SNES with its 32-bits also was capable of this in many instances (IE: Final Fantasy Series when you flew in the airship, the horizon would look like it was bent.) I believe [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarFox_%28SNES%29 Starfox (SNES)] was also such a reference. Although yes, SB was referring to the N64, the N64 wasn't the first Nintendo System to be made to display 3D Polygons. {{User:Iyeru/sig}}
: You misunderstand. The N64 was made specifically to display 3D Polygons; the SNES just simply had the capability, which often required extra graphics chips on the carts themselves. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:41, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
: And for the record, one of those graphics chips I mentioned was heavily advertised when Star Fox came out: the Super FX chip. It was also used in a few other first-party Nintendo games that utilized 3D graphics (even Yoshi's Island, though YI's 3D graphics were much rarer than Star Fox's. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:43, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

::Didn't SB reference the SFX Chip? o_O {{User:Iyeru/sig}}

::: Yes, I suppose he does. My point, however, was that the SNES wasn't really capable of much 3D on its own - the Super FX chip is on the games themselves. Other than that, best it could do for the most part was Mode 7 (the Final Fantasy airship example you mentioned was Mode 7), and Mode 7 could only make backgrounds look kinda 3Dish. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:26, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

::::All Mode 7 can do is turn a background into a 3d-ish ground... completely flat. The only things that can "pop-up" from the ground are sprites which can be scaled or darkened and moved to give the illusion of distance. Play the original Super Mario Kart for a good example, where sometimes it is hard to see the walls of the map until you have already hit them and stopped. Or play Mario Kart Super Circuit for the GBA which uses the exact same effects as a base. This is a far cry from the Super FX chip which allowed for true 3D (see Starfox or the leaked Starfox 2). In-console support for 3D would come for Nintendo with the Nintendo 64. --[[User:70.104.78.138|70.104.78.138]] 21:42, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

== smoother animation ==

Is it just me or does strongbad's mouth and head move smoother then normal in this cartoon... I think bubs' teeth do too... --[[User:75.91.227.132|75.91.227.132]] 00:24, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
:That's because this toon has double the frame rate, to match up with the gameplay, which leads to smoother (and faster) looking animation, at least in the two D part [that is with only dimensions and dumb idiots] {{User:Flashfight/sig}} 00:35, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
::Double the framerate, double the FUN! Sounds like a Strong Bad gum... {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 20:00, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Just like it says in about 2 more above topics. The reason why they don't normally go beyond their 12-frame rate usual is that it takes so much longer to make the toon (double the frames, double the animation, twice as long to make). {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}

== 24 or 30? ==

In trivia:
*This cartoon appears to be in '''24 frames per second''' for the 3D cutscenes, instead of the usual 12. This makes the animation smoother and appear faster than usual, which explains why the characters' mouths move so fast. The last frame rate "substitute" was in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]], when it was bumped up to 20 fps for a 3D effect.
but in remarks:
*Even though the toon and its [[HR:menuswfs/menu_sbcg4ap.swf|preview]] are animated at '''30 frames per second''', the [[TV Time Toons Menu]] is 12 frames per second, which causes the preview to play slower.
so? which is it? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:23, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
:I'm very sure it's 24 fps. I decompiled it a while ago, and that's what it said in Flash's "Proporties" box. Also, I think I was the one who changed it from 30 to 24...well, I don't have time to prove that. I just know it's 24.
::p.s, I just checked, and my IP (or like, my dad's computer's) made [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=SBCG4AP_Advertisement&oldid=556843 this] edit, right after I decompiled it. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 02:03, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

== Dateing sim ==

during the strongbadtotal3d.wad thing, when homestar walks in, he has the same sprite as in the dateing sim. [[User:Dr. Savage|Dr. Savage]] 00:20, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
:that is correct, and noted on the page. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:27, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

== Easter Egg? ==

The Grease Monkey script is showing me an extra 39 frames when it stops. Is that just another artifact of Flash's security, or is there an Easter Egg we haven't covered? Or is it just blank? --[[Special:Contributions/75.41.212.228|75.41.212.228]] 01:37, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

== Caption ==

Well, we seem to have a little disagreement here over what the caption on the picture should be. Instead of the edit/undo/re-edit method of discussion, which frankly does not work, I move we should open a discussion here. The two suggested captions are "coming to a Wii-ware near me-ware. Er, you-ware" and "but you can play, too!" I personally vote for the latter, as it is shorter and more to the point, but Bad Bad Guy does have a good point that it's not from this 'toon. Other suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated. {{User:AwkwardFire/sig}} 17:37, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Ooh, emails make me tremble, so I'll keep my body nimble.
<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: drained pool</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
What do you do with the pool during the winter? Do you 
drain it and use it for skateboarding or something? 
-J.Hazard, IN</blockquote>
''{Strong Bad reads the state as the word "in", and says it as though there were more words coming}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' In what? In Spokane? In severe debt? In repose? Well, I guess I'll never know Hit-Enter-Too-Soon Man. ''{clears screen}'' Anyways, Hazbro, ''{sarcastic voice}'' yes, we usually drain it and yes I usually skateboard 30 different kinds of shred all over the pool and make awesome skate videos that accidentally get recorded over with cooking shows. ''{regular voice}'' But this year we're doing something way cooler and less pretend. Homestar Runner finally got paid for all those Fluffy Puff Marshmallows commercials he did. And GUESS HOW THEY PAID HIM? With a lifetime supply of Red Flavored Fluffy Puff Translucent Dessert Related Substance!

''{A box of said substance appears. Cut through static to a Fluffy Puff commercial. Instead of Marshie, there is a is red, translucent version of him with a visible brain floating inside his head.}''

'''GEL-ARSHIE:''' ''{voice slightly distorted}'' I'M AN ABOMINATION!

''{The word "GEL-arshie" appears below him with a ding.}''

'''GEL-ARSHIE:''' ''{closeup}'' And I'm comin' to your house after school.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Y'know, I really think those Marshie commercials ought to be rated NC-17.

''{A ratings advice label appears in the top left corner, reading "NC-17, Needlessly Creepy times 17". Cut through static to the pool, which has been filled with red gelatin. A pile of empty Fluffy Puff boxes are in the background. Strong Bad, Strong Sad and Homestar are all present, along with a kitchen timer shaped like a chicken. Strong Sad is holding a clipboard and wearing glasses.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' How're we doing here, frog eggs?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't even get that one. ''{zoom in on Strong Sad}'' According to my calculations, ''{looks at clipboard}'' we should achieve maximum jiggle ''{pats his belly}'' any second now.

''{zoom out to all three characters}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, man, you three. ''{Close-up of Homestar}'' I am so glad I chose this instead of that million dollars in cash. That wouldn't even have ''half'' filled up this pool!

''{Close-up of the timer, the alarm rings. Cut back to all three characters}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' That's it! We're ready!

''{zoom in on Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right! ''{looks around expectantly}'' Well, where are they?

''{zoom out to all three characters}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Where are who?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I thought that this much gelatin would sorta naturally attract oiled-up bikini wrestlers.

''{zoom in on Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''I'' thought it would naturally attract oiled-up Bill Cosby.

''{Cut to the concession stand. Coach Z is leaning on the counter, talking to Bubs.}''

'''BUBS:''' You heard the latest news?

'''COACH Z:''' Wazzat?

'''BUBS:''' The young'uns filled up the swimmin' hole with red Jell-Os!

'''COACH Z:''' Y'know, I once had a student in my health class, name of Red Angelo! True story! His folks named him that! And he had a sister, named Grape Flavored Jell-O With Fruit Floatin' In It! No bull!

''{Bubs starts to look annoyed at Coach Z, then descends into his basement.}''

'''COACH Z:''' And if you flash your lights at a car with its headlights orf, you get shot by gangsters!

''{Cut back to the pool. Strong Bad is standing in the middle of the pool, on a toilet seat. Strong Mad is standing by the edge of the pool.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, Strong Mad, smack it around!

''{Strong Mad hits the pool surface, and a small wave ripples across. When it passes by Strong Bad:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hang ten! Gnarly! Endless summer! Hey, do it again, but this time, smack it like a newborn's biscuit.

''{Strong Mad hits the pool surface much harder, and a much higher wave comes at Strong Bad. The force of it knocks him off the "board"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! ''{He lands headfirst and starts to sink. The toilet seat lands in the gelatin and starts to sink as well.}'' Uh, lifeguard? Bit of help here?

''{Pan to Pom Pom, sitting in the lifeguard chair with sunscreen on his "nose".}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

''{Pom Pom jumps towards Strong Bad, lands on the gelatin, and bounces off into the sky, disappearing into the distance. Strong Bad continues to sink to the bottom of the pool, where he meets Homestar. A meter in the background shows them to be 10 feet below the surface.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voice slightly distorted}'' Aww, I was hoping you were Bill Cosby.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice slightly distorted}'' So, uh, what're we doing for breathing down here?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I bonno. I hadn't really thought that far ahead. ''{As he talks, the toilet seat is seen sinking down}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And how did ''you'' get down here, Poopsmith?

''{Pan across reveals that the Poopsmith is also at the bottom of the pool. He flicks open the top of his shovel to reveal a button, which he presses. Cut to the King of Town's castle, where the King is sucking something out of a bowl through a crazy straw, and watching Caleb Rentpayer on TV.}''

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' ''{on TV}'' You can't grow a ZZ Top beard!

''{An alarm klaxon goes off, with red flashing lights. The King of Town looks up to see the "Eat a Lot of Food Alert".}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' My talents are needed!

''{The King grabs the straw and runs off. Cut back to the bottom of the pool.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, I think this is it. ''{close up of Homestar}'' When I die, have my body preserved in red Jell-O.

''{Cut back to Homestar and Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, I don't think that's gonna be a problem, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're such a good friend.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{voice slightly distorted}'' Citizens!

''{Tilt up to see the King of Town, holding his crazy straw above the surface of the pool.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Help has arrived! Everybody in there, shut your eyes. This-a ain't-a gonna be-a prettay. ''{quickly}'' And a one, and a two, and a three.

''{The King sticks the straw into the pool and starts sucking. The screen fades to black, and then comes back in the computer room. Strong Bad limps in, covered in patches of red gelatin, with a disgusted look on his face. He sits down at the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' All I remember after I closed my eyes, was that first, it got real loud, then it got real hot, then it got real slimy, then it got quiet, and then it got...unspeakable. And when I opened my eyes, the pool was empty, and three days had passed. And Pom Pom ''still'' hasn't landed!

''{Cut to outer space, a space station is in the distance, labeled "40-E". Pom Pom floats in to the center of the screen. Nebulon floats past, making his usual noise. [[New Paper]] comes down.}''

Coach Z

AwkwardFire: /* List of mispronounced words */ Off as "orf"

{{charnav|Coach Z|cz|Marzipan|Bubs}}
[[Image:coach-z.png|thumb|right|200px|"I regret everything!"]]

==Biography==
'''Coach Z''' is the "[[Wikipedia:Coach (sport)|coach]]" of the residents of [[Free Country, USA]], though it is unclear exactly which sports he coaches. He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble. He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has lost its meaning. He wears a blue and purple baseball cap and is famous for the large gold Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a nose or mouth]]. He is also one of the few main characters with clearly defined hands and feet; Coach Z's arms are long compared to his body, and very short legs leading to wide feet.

[[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]
As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In fact, in [[diorama]], he claims that Marzipan is his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also cannot say the word "job", as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon. He sometimes may pronounce it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jareoarb". He has a drinking problem and can frequently be seen consuming [[Listerine|mouthwash]], as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[butt-patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt when they asked him "What's up". He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about pants, whether his own or someone else's. In recent cartoons it appears that Coach Z is the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Many characters see him as a nuisance, and even Homestar has treated Coach Z with contempt in Decemberween Short Shorts, where Coach Z wants to go to Homestar's house for Decemberween, and Homestar replies with a "no" (numerous times).

[[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]
Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]).

[[Image:CoachZ3D.png|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]]
Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although Strong Bad said that [[History According to Strong Bad|he had a "doodle memory".]]).

Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] shows us; Bubs makes a "Coach Z, you jerk!" float for the parade, and Coach Z retaliates by saying "Serves him right, then" when [[Strong Mad]] steals [[Bubs Concession Stand|his concession stand]]. In the email [[narrator]], it was shown that they had made-up and returned to having boring conversations about [[Bubs's napkins]]. However, in [[Most In The Graveyard]], when it is implied that Coach Z fancies Bubs' sister, Bubs beats him up. In the same toon, it is also revealed that Coach Z and Bubs may actually be very distant cousins, although Bubs believes that Coach Z is a liar.

Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he [[No Hands on Deck!|actually won them]].

''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on? ''{turns to the camera lens}'' Hey there, ho there! I'm the Coach! The Coach Z, I'd guess you'd call me. Or plain old Coach is fine, seein' as I'm the only one around, so, probably no one else would answer to that. You say "Hey Coach!", and I'd say "Yeah?" or..."That's me!" or..."Hoo-hah!" ''{waves his arms in the air}'' Any one of those. There's rumors flyin' around that I sleep in one of these lockers ''{gestures to the lockers behind him}'', but uh, that's just not true. I usually crash on this bench here. ''{gestures to the bench behind him}'' My back's not in real good condition. ''{rubs his back}'' And now, I'd like to perform my hip-hop single, "These peoples try to fade me." ''{holds up a microphone, begins to sing}'' A one-two, a one-two—!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{appears in front of camera}'' Sorry. We're all out of tape.

==Coach Z's Accent==
The primary factor in his hilarity, Coach Z's Upper Midwestern accent has made him into a very quotable character.

===Sounds Affected===
The most commonly mispronounced sounds are long e (i.e. The Cheat) and the short o (job), which both come out as an "or" or "aer" ("The Chort", "jaerb").

===Inconsistencies===

Evidence has suggested that Coach Z's accent may be bogus:
*After saying "track or trort" in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], Bubs gets on his case and he says "trick or treat" correctly. If given "Swedish Fish," said as "Swordish Forsh," Bubs gets on his case again and Coach Z says "It's a crowd-pleaser."
*In [[boring (really)]], while Strong Bad is writing his list of three-letter words, Coach Z interrupts him at the word "job", saying that "jorb is a four letters word."
*Coach Z says "The Cheat" immediately after "The Chort" in [[mascot]], though he speaks as though he's talking about two different people.
*In the DVD commentary for [[part-time job]], [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] exploits Coach Z's "accent" by implying that not only does Coach Z add the letter R to words, but now also likes to switch letters around sometimes, and in reply Coach Z partially admits to his accent being bogus.
*In [[cliffhangers]], in the process of his attempted unmasking of [[The Thnikkaman]], he says "secret sorcret" twice, referring to Thnikkaman's secret being revealed and his shame in having really bad hand-eye coordination.

==Biography==
'''Coach Z''' is the "[[Wikipedia:Coach (sport)|coach]]" of the residents of [[Free Country, USA]], though it is unclear exactly which sports he coaches. He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which sometimes gets him into trouble. He almost never says anything negative to anyone, and he often offers more encouragement than is needed. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which by now has lost its meaning. He wears a blue and purple baseball cap and is famous for the large gold Z emblem around his waist, but nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a nose or mouth]]. He is also one of the few main characters with clearly defined hands and feet; Coach Z's arms are long compared to his body, and very short legs leading to wide feet.

[[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]
As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In fact, in [[diorama]], he claims that Marzipan is his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also cannot say the word "job", as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon. He sometimes may pronounce it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jareoarb". He has a drinking problem and can frequently be seen consuming [[Listerine|mouthwash]], as seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], among other appearances. In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He also has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year. He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit with [[butt-patting]]. He was told by [[Homestar Runner]] in Decemberween Short Shorts to not tell people about his butt when they asked him "What's up". He works with Homestar Runner and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]], and he makes frequent jokes and references about pants, whether his own or someone else's. In recent cartoons it appears that Coach Z is the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Many characters see him as a nuisance, and even Homestar has treated Coach Z with contempt in Decemberween Short Shorts, where Coach Z wants to go to Homestar's house for Decemberween, and Homestar replies with a "no" (numerous times).

[[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]
Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]).

[[Image:CoachZ3D.png|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]]
Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although Strong Bad said that [[History According to Strong Bad|he had a "doodle memory".]]).

Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] shows us; Bubs makes a "Coach Z, you jerk!" float for the parade, and Coach Z retaliates by saying "Serves him right, then" when [[Strong Mad]] steals [[Bubs Concession Stand|his concession stand]]. In the email [[narrator]], it was shown that they had made-up and returned to having boring conversations about [[Bubs's napkins]]. However, in [[Most In The Graveyard]], when it is implied that Coach Z fancies Bubs' sister, Bubs beats him up. In the same toon, it is also revealed that Coach Z and Bubs may actually be very distant cousins, although Bubs believes that Coach Z is a liar.

Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]] but it is unknown if he [[No Hands on Deck!|actually won them]].

[[Image:CharacterVidCoachZ.png|thumb|"Hoo-hah!"]]
''{'''Page Title''': Drop Down and Gimme 20!!}'' ''{'''Places:''' [[Coach Z's Locker Room]]}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{looking slightly offscreen}'' Is that thing on? ''{turns to the camera lens}'' Hey there, ho there! I'm the Coach! The Coach Z, I'd guess you'd call me. Or plain old Coach is fine, seein' as I'm the only one around, so, probably no one else would answer to that. You say "Hey Coach!", and I'd say "Yeah?" or..."That's me!" or..."Hoo-hah!" ''{waves his arms in the air}'' Any one of those. There's rumors flyin' around that I sleep in one of these lockers ''{gestures to the lockers behind him}'', but uh, that's just not true. I usually crash on this bench here. ''{gestures to the bench behind him}'' My back's not in real good condition. ''{rubs his back}'' And now, I'd like to perform my hip-hop single, "These peoples try to fade me." ''{holds up a microphone, begins to sing}'' A one-two, a one-two—!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{appears in front of camera}'' Sorry. We're all out of tape.

==Coach Z's Accent==
The primary factor in his hilarity, Coach Z's Upper Midwestern accent has made him into a very quotable character.

===Sounds Affected===
The most commonly mispronounced sounds are long e (i.e. The Cheat) and the short o (job), which both come out as an "or" or "aer" ("The Chort", "jaerb").

===Inconsistencies===

Evidence has suggested that Coach Z's accent may be bogus:
*After saying "track or trort" in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], Bubs gets on his case and he says "trick or treat" correctly. If given "Swedish Fish," said as "Swordish Forsh," Bubs gets on his case again and Coach Z says "It's a crowd-pleaser."
*In [[boring (really)]], while Strong Bad is writing his list of three-letter words, Coach Z interrupts him at the word "job", saying that "jorb is a four letters word."
*Coach Z says "The Cheat" immediately after "The Chort" in [[mascot]], though he speaks as though he's talking about two different people.
*In the DVD commentary for [[part-time job]], [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] exploits Coach Z's "accent" by implying that not only does Coach Z add the letter R to words, but now also likes to switch letters around sometimes, and in reply Coach Z partially admits to his accent being bogus.
*In [[cliffhangers]], in the process of his attempted unmasking of [[The Thnikkaman]], he says "secret sorcret" twice, referring to Thnikkaman's secret being revealed and his shame in having really bad hand-eye coordination.

User:DorianGray/Analysis of Homsar's Speech Patterns

2008-12-14T02:38:54Z

AwkwardFire: /* Homsar's Speech in Chronological Order */ fixed broken table.

'''Homsar's speech patterns''' are quite unusual, and many believe that his strange way of speaking is the result of a mental disorder such as [[Wikipedia:Word salad (mental health)|word salad]], a condition in which sentence structure and grammar are intact, but individual words are picked at random and have no particular meaning. This article pulls together all of the things [[Homsar]] has said since his introduction in the [[Homestar Runner universe]], identifies the context of each line, and determines whether or not the line qualifies as a word salad.

== Homsar's Speech in Chronological Order ==

{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 width="100%" style="border-collapse:collapse"
|-------------------------------------------------- bgcolor=#eeeeee
! Quote !! Toon !! Context !! Comments
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Uhdyeah, what ees it, Strong Bayaad?"
| Email [[homsar]] (2001)
| Responding to [[Strong Bad]], who had just gotten his attention.
| This is a simple greeting.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "DaAAahhh, hello, [[Marzipan|Marzypa-yun]]. It's Homsar! Dahhh, I was just calling to thank you for the flowers you sent me while I was in the hospital. Daahh, I'm feeling much better now, but I still can't feel my leeegs. Okay, bye-dee-bye."
| [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0]] (Dec. 2001/Jan. 2002)
| Homsar has presumably recovered from having the [[Heavy Lourde]] dropped on him.
| Homsar speaks in basically perfect (if exaggerated) English in this message.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for some candy today!"
*"YaAaAaAh, I'm the original ladies' man!"
*"If you give me a treat, make sure that it's sweet, and I'll eeeat iiiiiit..."
*"Oh no, I think this is my favorite!"
| [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] (Oct. 27, 2001)
| Homsar's intro, and then his lines after being handed Shavin' Creem, black and orange taffy, and a wrench, respectively.
| His intro is a paraphrasing of the catch phrase of [[Wikipedia:J. Wellington Wimpy|Wimpy]], the character from the [[Wikipedia:Popeye|Popeye]] cartoons (who he is dressed as), namely "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today." His responses to the treats are strange, but not completely random.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"Oh no! You shanked my Jengaship!"
*"AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Hey, Tubbs! I just lost my Jengajam."
| [[Where's The Cheat?]] (Feb. 25, 2002)
| Homsar is playing Connect Four with [[Strong Sad]], then speaks to [[Bubs]] when he enters the room.
| Homsar's line does reference two games, although not the one he is actually playing, Connect Four, as Strong Sad observes. He doesn't quite get Bubs' name right.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAaAaAaAaA!!! I'm saving the best for last!"
| Email [[your friends]] (Oct. 14, 2002)
| During the montage, Strong Bad buries Homsar and covers him with scorpions, which begin to crawl into his mouth.
| It is debatable whether Homsar's phrase has any connection to his predicament. If it is connected, it would seem to imply that he enjoys eating scorpions.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
* "I'm the ghost of Christmas past."
* "And also with you."
| [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] (Oct. 29, 2002)
| [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] and [[The Cheat]] walk up to Homsar, whose "pumpkin" is an eggplant with a spoon taped to it.
| Homsar's first response references ''A Christmas Carol'', while his second line is a common response in many religious prayers. Both have some connection to the scene, and neither one is a word salad.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "When can we start the Jeffersons?"
| [[Strong Sad's Lament]] (Nov. 18, 2002)
| Strong Sad mentions in his journal this was all Homsar said to him that day.
| The context is unknown. Perhaps he was commenting on how boring Strong Sad is, and expressing his desire to do something else.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Nowowowow, this is the thrill of a lifetime."
| [[Happy T!]] (Nov. 28, 2002)
| This Easter egg was found by clicking on the bottom-right corner of the page.
| The other characters all said some variation of "Happy T!", but Homsar's line could still be construed to make some sense.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I do what I'm told..."
| Email [[dragon]] (Jan. 13, 2003)
| Strong Bad had just told him to get out of his house.
| Coherent given the situation.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Hey Reggie! Is that rhinoceros around?"
*"I'm a song from the sixties."
| Email [[interview]] (Feb. 10, 2003)
| These are Homsar's actual lines in this email. The other "lines" were spoken by Strong Bad.
| Homsar's first line is peculiar, but it makes enough sense that Strong Bad, as well as the viewer, can figure out that he's referring to Strong Sad. The second line is a comedic repetition of one of Strong Bad's lines.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| '''[[Toons]]:''' "ToOoOoOons!" '''[[Games]]:''' "James!" '''[[Characters]]:''' "[[Wikipedia:Kelsey Grammer|Kelsey Grammer]]!" '''[[Downloads]]:''' "Thank youuuuu." '''[[Store]]:''' "Legitimate business." '''[[Email]]:''' "AaAaAaAaAaAaA!"
| [[Homsar Main Page]] (Feb. 10, 2003)
|Homsar provides unique ways of reading the buttons.
|
*Toons: merely exaggerated pronunciation.
*Games: merely mispronounced.
*Characters: Kelsey Grammer is an actor, so it fits.
*Downloads: he could be giving thanks for receiving a download.
*Store: He is implying that the store is a "legitimate business".
*Email: He is obviously dizzy, as the area is swirling.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AAAaaaAAAaaa-I'm just in time for the murder mystery!"
| Email [[suntan]] (Jun. 16, 2003)
| A "Celebrity(?) Testimonial" of Strong Bad's Ab-Abber 2000. Homsar had used it to draw a calculator with the word "SALAd" on his shirt.
| Homsar's line does not make sense in this scene, but the sentence itself is coherent.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Hi, Wonder Mike! I'm Homsar! The captain of the gravy train. Climb aboard! '''I've brought my best foot flowered... Pshoooo!''' Sure beats breaking up with me. Don't look now! I'm just a friendly reminder. AaAaAaAaAaAaA! AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Think I won the Powerball."
| [[Homsar#Character Video Transcript|Homsar's Character Video]] (Jul. 14, 2003)
| Homsar introduces himself.
| "I've brought my best foot flowered", if taken at face value, is a prime example of a word salad — the sentence makes no sense either in context or by itself, and yet is still syntactically valid. However, Homsar might have meant to say "forward" instead of "flowered", which would make the sentence make much more sense. The rest of Homsar's video is made up of coherent but disconnected sentences that each make sense by themselves. If there were such a thing as a "sentence salad", this would be it. It is possible, however, that he simply wasn't sure what he should be saying.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm crying on the inside..."
| Email [[impression]] (Aug. 25, 2003)
| Homsar had just been disqualified from the Strong Sad Lookalike Contest because he was mistaken for Strong Sad.
| This line makes sense for two reasons: It's something Strong Sad would likely say, and Homsar himself may have been sad that he was disqualified.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAa! I'm open for interpretation!"
| [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]] (Oct. 29, 2003)
| Homsar's secret costume, Slash from Guns N' Roses.
| Could be reinterpreted as "What do you think of my costume?" In addition, this could be a reference to whether his sudden appearance in the cartoon has any significance to the story.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "You gotta get yours, I gotta get mine."
| Email [[army]] (Jan. 5, 2004)
| Responding to Homestar's call to action for the [[Homestarmy]].
| This line makes some sense in this context — it could be construed that Homsar really is in the Homestarmy for personal reasons.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm forever your girl."
| Email [[different town]] (Feb. 23, 2004)
| Spoken as [[Different Town Character Variations|Modestly Hot Homsar]]. It should be noted that this took place in Strong Bad's imagination.
| This phrase makes perfect sense, considering that Homsar was just transformed into a female figure.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "It's time for tasteball!"
| Email [[theme park]] (May 25, 2004)
| Giving information to Homestar Runner.
| This one is a close call. On the one hand, the viewer is left wondering exactly what tasteball is, but Homestar replies with "Oh crap, it's tasteball already?", indicating that it was not unexpected for Homsar to say that. Tasteball could presumably be one of their duties as mascots. On the other hand, Homsar's line may qualify as a true word salad, and Homestar's reply could just be a typical clueless reaction. As they are working at a theme park, Homsar could also be referring to amusement parks' tendencies to create unique games for their customers.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"DaAaAaA! I'm a trendy tote bag!"
*"I'm not gonna lie to you, that's a healthy piece of real estate!"
*"That's a real popular song! Who wants to hear of it fifty times more?"
| Email [[for kids]] (Aug. 9, 2004)
| Homsar on his kids' show, ''[[Whaddaya Know, Haddi-Man?]]''
| "I'm a trendy tote bag" makes some sense in context, because Homsar is appearing on a public television show, and tote bags are among the most common free gifts given by public television stations in pledge drives. His line about real estate (referring to the letter G) makes a small amount of sense in context. His last line is strongly connected to the scene, in which they had just finished singing "Stave It Off, 1-2-3".
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I blew it, man. I lose my touch."
| [[Halloween Fairstival]] (Oct. 29, 2004)
| This was a line spoken by Kumar from ''Bottle Rocket'', which was Homsar's costume.
| This makes sense because he's quoting the character upon which his costume is based.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"Alms for the pudgy! Alms for the pudgy."
*"You're a real state trooper."
| [[Homestar Presents: Presents]] (Dec. 20, 2004)
| Homsar is running a donation station, and Homestar stops by, spits in the donation can, then leaves again.
| Homsar's first line is a take on "Alms for the poor", a common greeting for beggars, panhandlers, and donation takers. The second line is an odd way of saying "thanks". Both make sense.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm the human wedgie."
| Email [[origins]] (Jan. 31, 2005)
| Homsar was glued to Marzipan as a prank.
| This line seems to indicate that Homsar is aware of his predicament, but it doesn't really relate all that well. However, "The Human (noun)" is a pretty common way to describe one's self performing the function of an inanimate object — for example, "The Human Cannonball" — and this could be akin to his calling himself "The Human Prank".
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Caramel corn for president, please."
| Email [[rampage]] (Apr. 11, 2005)
| Homsar gives "praise" to Strong Sad at his Poetry Slam.
| As praise, this sentence makes little sense. On its own, it also doesn't make much sense, though it is fairly close to "Kernel/Colonel Corn", which is a common joke. It may be a stretch to call this a word salad.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm just me, can't you see? I'm just a silly little bumblebee."
| Email [[record book]] (Jul. 25, 2005)
| Sung while jumping up and down on one foot with nine pieces of chewing gum on his face. Coach Z did the same thing moments before in order to win a record, but Strong Bad told him that there were no records for something that no one else would ever do.
| There are two possible explanations for this. The more likely explanation is that Homsar actually does jump up and down on one foot with nine pieces of chewing gum on his face while singing the "I'm Just Me" song on a regular basis, which is ironic, since Strong Bad had just said that no one else would ever do that. The other is that Homsar is mimicking Coach Z, although this is not nearly as likely, as it isn't nearly as bizarre as the former explanation, and is therefore incongruous with Homsar's character.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"AaA, get consummate."
*"I'm pleasant!"
| [[Rock_Opera_(karaoke)#Easter_Eggs|Karaoke version of "Rock Opera" (alternate take)]] (Jul. 25, 2005)
| Sung as part of the alternate take on Strong Bad's rock opera, whose lyrics consists of one word from each of his then-125 emails.
| This quote makes perfect sense because both phrases refer to the words representing the emails [[japanese cartoon]] and [[dragon]], and [[crying]] and [[for kids]], respectively, in the actual email.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Location, location, location!"
| [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]] (Nov. 1, 2005)
| Homsar dresses up as Tingle from the Legend of Zelda series. He says this after Homestar rejects his "choices".
| Homsar's quote here is a common phrase used in real estate (the three most important things). It does make some sense when paired with his costume, as [[Wikipedia:Tingle|Tingle]] sold maps to Link in his debut in [[Wikipedia:Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]].
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Let's sing a song of Pennzoil!"
| [[Fall Float Parade]] (Nov. 21, 2005)
| Two Homsars drive through the parade.
| Could be construed as a product endorsement, or as a humorous reference to product endorsement, since Pennzoil has sponsored many such parades in the real world.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm a little light in the leftovers!"
| [[Weclome Back]] (Jul. 3, 2006)
| Homsar says this while standing on a merchandise table.
| Homsar takes a common phrase and substitutes a random word — something he does fairly often. This sentence could be construed to mean "I don't have much leftover stuff", or "I'm not very smart". It should also be noted that being "a little light in the '''loafers'''" is a common euphemism for homosexuality. The phrase itself, when put into context, is likely Homsar's way of saying that the merchandise is a limited time offer.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "This dinner party is top dollar!"
| [[cliffhangers]] (Sept. 18, 2006)
| Homsar says this while hanging off a cliff by a rope.
| Not exactly appropriate given the situation, but he does acknowledge that he is at a gathering. It could also be inferred that he likes hanging upside-down. Additionally, he could be referencing the King of Town's tendency to eat random things. It is also possible that Strong Bad convinced both Homsar and the King of Town that he was taking them to a dinner party, which would have made sense to the King of Town.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Eggs tree, eggs tree! This get-up is mah get down!"
| [[Happy Hallow-day]] (Oct. 30, 2006)
| Homsar is holding a newspaper with the headline "Eggs Tree! Eggs Tree!"
| "Eggs Tree" sounds like the way Homestar pronounced "extree" earlier in the toon, albeit broken up into words. Plus, during this scene he's standing next to a tree full of actual eggs. "This get-up is mah get down" refers to when Homestar says that the Newspaper Boy outfit was NOT his Halloween costume. The opposite is the case for Homsar.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Well, hello, chocolate cake!"
| [[strong badathlon]] (Jan. 29, 2007)
| Homsar and Marzipan are having a tea party when The Cheat, covered in [[whatsit]], comes flying through the air and lands on the table.
| This line makes some sense in this context, since chocolate and whatsit are both brown in color. Another way this line could make sense is that "chocolate cake" can be used as a term of endearment. It is also possible that Homsar could be referring to the shape of The Cheat as a piece of chocolate cake.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAh! My cheese is 50 cent!"
| [[Who Said What Now?]]
| This is Homsar's quote for the game.
| Since all of the character quotes in the game reflect the character in some way, this quote makes sense, since Homsar's character that of a non-sequitor.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "These Easter pants are getting way too tight!"
| [[DNA Evidence (toon)|DNA Evidence]] (May 15, 2007)
| This is Homsar's reply to Strong Sad, when the latter asks the former if he will say anything at the end of the toon.
| There are a couple of things this line could reference: Homsar's occasional appearances in [[Easter egg]]s, and the common running gag of [[pants]]. Perhaps Homsar is somewhat dazed by Strong Sad's long exposition and is uttering whatever is on his mind. It could also mean that he feels pressure from Strong Sad after witnessing such an out-of-character revelation from him, and wishes to remove himself from the uncomfortable situation or change the subject. It could also be referring to himself, "The Human Wedgie". Another explanation is he refers to secrets as "easter pants" (hence the term EASTER egg) and he can't keep much more of them.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Ennn-joy!"
| [[160 Seconds]] (Jun. 5, 2007)
| The English-speaking males take turns reading the introduction of the video.
| This quote makes perfect sense because they hope the viewers like the video.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAaAaA! Don't count on it, monster may-an!"
| [[mini-golf]] (Aug. 13, 2007)
| Homsar's response to Strong Bad while floating through the air above [[Sweet Puttin' Cakes]], when Strong Bad asked the [[Drive-Thru Whale]] "Homsar, is that you?"
| This would appear to make literal sense, as Homsar is not inside the Drive-Thru Whale, though he appears to have given Strong Bad another new nickname.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm a touchy feely-holic!"
| [[Jibblies 2]] (Oct. 29, 2007)
| Homsar's response to the [[Horrible Painting]].
| This response makes sense in reference to his costume, the "Noony Noony Noo" Typewriter Guy and can be interpreted as "I like using myself to type."
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm a long-standing munch date!"
| [[Where's The Cheat? (game)]] (Nov. 12, 2007)
| Strong Bad meets Homsar in a secret room.
| This would make sense if Homsar felt he was waiting too long for someone to access his Easter Egg.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "My name's Millions, and I'm the son of a Chipwich!"
| [[fan club]] (Jan. 28, 2008)
| Homsar's response to Strong Sad's mentioning of the ongoing debate of the non sequitur championship.
| This makes perfect sense as a response to the mentioning of non sequiturs, one of which this definitely is. Homsar's first line may also be him trying to introduce himself to Strong Sad's [[The Deleteheads|fan club]].
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaaAAaaaaAaaa! Step right up! I'm a crudely drawn cupcake! '''Don't forget your tapesicle!'''"
| [[Homestar Ruiner]] (Aug. 11, 2008)
| This is the message you receive when you call Homsar using Homestar's cell phone.
| Homsar does something he does fairly often. When he doesn't really have anything to communicate, he just draws something out of mid-air, however he does have the shape of a "crudely drawn cupcake". "Don't forget your tapesicle" is a word salad, or may simply be a reminder for the caller to leave a message.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Daaah, I'm a knock knock joke about jogging suits!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| This is what Homsar usually says when you try to talk to him.
| This sounds like a word salad, however, when Strong Bad gains the ability to understand Homsar this is translated into "Hello, Strong Bad. What's the haps?"
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Pucker up, Dice Man! I'm as upholstered as I wanna be!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar usually says this when Strong Bad asks him to join Strong Badia.
| At first glance this may seem like a word salad (with Strong Bad hoping he's not Diceman), but Homsar could be rejecting Strong Bad's offer. When Strong Bad can understand Homsar, this is translated as "Why should my people risk open war for you and your considerable style?"
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Sign me up for soccer class, Debra!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar's response to Strong Bad attempting to speak in Homsar's language.
| It may seem like a word salad, but when Strong Bad speaks Homsar's language after being enlightened to Homsar's ways, it is translated as "Why are you speaking gibberish Strong Bad? Seriously, you sound like a two-years old boy."
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Hotel coupons for dinner again?"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar's response to Strong Bad when he shows Homsar one of the Homsartifacts.
| Like the other responses from Strong Badia the Free, this sounds like a word salad, and has yet to be translated, but is probably Homsar trying to tell Strong Bad to put it in the "pylon."
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Daaaahhhh, I'm the local Leroy!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar's response in Strong Bad's prep talk to the latter's line, "Have something to share with the rest of the class?".
| This likely counts as a word salad, but may mean that Homsar is willing to go to battle in the Homestarmy.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"Daaah, no thanks, officer! I've got the one big round one!"
*"AaAaAa! I'm the long way back from naptime!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar's response to Strong Sad's droning in the Maps and Minions game.
| While they appear to be word salads, like everything else Homsar says in the game, they mean something else. In this case, Homsar is probably telling Strong Sad that he is not afraid and is taking the King of Town ("the one big round one") back to the Castle. He also seems to know that he is talking to a law enforcement officer. "I'm the long way back from naptime" may be a threat to knock Strong Sad out.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAah leave my itch machine on pause mostly!"
| [[Baddest of the Bands]] (Oct. 27, 2008)
| Homsar's response to Strong Bad asking why he's still on stage after the concert.
| The "itch machine" in question may be Homsar's theremin, as it somewhat resembles a scratching post. On a related note, "itch machine" is one of the possible things Homsar will pick for what the "I" stands for in DOI.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAah'm the Captain Caveman of the graveyard train!"
| [[Most in the Graveyard]] (Oct. 30, 2008)
| Homsar speaks this line disguised as Captain Caveman, popping out from behind a grave.
| This sentence makes perfect literal sense on its own, and is also a reference to his character video, in which he refers to himself as the "captain of the gravy train."
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------valign=top
| "I left my bacon at the tennis patch".
| [[Strongbadia The Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar says this after being defeated by Homestar.
| This sentance could possibly mean that he surrendered and left for important reasons.
|}

== Analysis and Summary ==

As shown here, there are logical arguments for almost all of Homsar's phrases. It seems that Homsar simply has an odd and somewhat indirect way of communicating with others.

There is a pattern that appears during this analysis, however: In almost every case, if there's a strong reason for Homsar to communicate a particular concept, he'll do it unerringly — one can always tell what he means. It is when he doesn't have a particularly strong reason to communicate that his speech becomes more random. For example, if he has a request ("Is that rhinoceros around?", "That's a real popular song! Who wants to hear of it fifty times more?"), his sentence relates quite clearly to the scene, and is itself perfectly valid, even if there was a much more direct way of saying it. But in his character video, his sentences are almost completely disconnected from one another, and in [[suntan]] and [[theme park]], he had no particular reason to send a message, so he seemed to just pull a random sentence out of thin air, perhaps just so he could say something.

It seems clear that while Homsar doesn't have a strong grasp on reality, he is pretty coherent most of the time, and he can relate to other characters and his surroundings when he needs to. Looking at the definition of "word salad" as given by Wikipedia, it does not appear that Homsar suffers from this disorder — at least, not much.

However, in [[Strong Badia the Free]] it is determined that Homsar's speech is actually a well-developed language, as Strong Bad is briefly able to understand it, making Homsar's speech make perfect sense. To Strong Sad, however, the two characters appear to be speaking nonsense.

Integral Article

2008-12-08T02:17:27Z

AwkwardFire: better quote for the chief with article clearly integral.

[[Image:Integral The.PNG|thumb|"Count us off, The Ugly One."]]
The world of Homestar Runner contains several names of characters, places, sound effects, etc., where an [[Wikipedia:Article (grammar)|article]] (''A'', ''An'', or ''The'') is treated as integral to the name. With varying consistency, these names will include the article, even when it makes the construction of the sentence extremely odd ("And out poured a lifetime supply of fishsticks. And a The Cheat!!!!"). [[The Cheat]] is the most renowned and recognizable example. Even for The Cheat, however, this rule is occasionally overlooked or suspended. For instance, in [[replacement]], [[Strong Bad]]'s epitaph reads, "...and kicking Cheats in the hereafter."

It's interesting that the very first appearance of The Cheat, in the [[Original Book]], did not follow this practice. Although he was referred to as "that CHEAT" and "the cheat", it wasn't really treated as his name—note the lack of capitalization. He was simply being used by Strong Bad as a cheat to win the competition. However, by the time he appeared in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] had presumably decided to adopt "The Cheat" as his official name; several characters address him as such. Thus the unusual inclusion of the article may have started as an inside joke: the Brothers poking fun at themselves for choosing a passing phrase from the book as a major character's name.

On a side note, Wizard's character page on the [[Mellow Mushroom]] site has a page title that reads: "Not THE Wizard, Just Wizard."

|- bgcolor=#eeeeee
! Name !! Sample Usage !! Comments
|-
| <center>[[Image:The Cheat Character Video.PNG|100px]] [[The Cheat]]</center> || The title of [[500 The Cheats]] || Only rarely has The Cheat been named without the article. This practice even extends to his language ("Learn to speak... The Cheat" in [[cheat talk]]) and species ("My very own The Cheat!" in [[flashback]]). Strangely, however, [[Cheat Commandos]] ignore this completely. The integral article appears to be overlooked in the title of the email [[cheat talk]] and every instance of the phrase [[cheatday]]. Also, in [[replacement]], Strong Bad says he'll be "kickin' Cheats 'til the day I die." In [[secret recipes]], Homestar calls Strong Bad and The Cheat 'Cheat and The Strong Bad', although this is obviously not a mistake on the part of The Brothers Chaps. In [[Most in the Graveyard]], Strong Bad simply refers to him as "Cheat" while asking if he has rabies again. 
When [[Marzipan]] returns from a date with The Cheat in [[Date Nite]], [[Homestar Runner]] angrily asks her if her name has become "The Marzipan".
|-
| <center>[[Image:TheChief.png|100px]] [[The Chief]]</center> || [[Dangeresque Roomisode 1: Behind the Dangerdesque]]: "There's a The Chief seething behind it." || Although The Chief is an unseen character, he is never named without the article. This is the only time it is ever seen in an instance where it is clearly integral, though.
|-
| <center>[[Image:poopsmith.PNG|100px]] [[The Poopsmith]]</center> || [[King of Town Email]]: "Anybody? The Poopsmith? That little chef guy? I need some help here!" || This is a rare instance where The Poopsmith was clearly named with an integral article, along with Homestar addressing him as "The Poopsmith" in [[the show]]. There are many occasions when he has been referred to as "a Poopsmith", "my Poopsmith", or simply "Poopsmith", although Strong Bad did capitalize the ''The'' when typing in [[secret identity]]. Later, in [[KOT's VOQPCS!]], [[The King of Town]] directly addressed him as "The Poopsmith."
|-
| <center>[[Image:close Paper.png|100px]] [[The Paper]]</center> || [[for kids]]: "THE PAPER, PLEASE TAKE US HOME." || The Paper is never named without the article.
|-
| <center>[[Image:TheStick.png|100px]] [[The Stick]]</center> || [[labor day]]: "High five, The Stick." || The Stick is never named without the article, but only a few times has it been unambiguously integral.
|-
| <center>[[Image:qod 31 - geddup noise.png]] [[The Geddup Noise]]</center> || [[geddup noise]]: "THIS IS NOT A THE GEDDUP NOISE T-SHIRT" || The Geddup Noise generally only includes the article when grammar allows. Strong Sad's T-shirts, for some reason, are the exception to this.
|-
| <center>[[Image:the teach.PNG|100px]] [[The Teach]]</center> || [[geddup noise]]: "Isn't that right, The Teach?" || The Teach's name only appears twice. The other appearance was on [[Monkey D]]'s T-shirt in an Easter egg, where it was unclear whether the article was integral. Since The Teach's appearance and name are based on those of The Cheat, it is unsurprising that The Teach inherits the integral article.
|-
| <center>[[Image:thehstarr2.png|100px]] [[The Homestar Runner]]</center> || [[That A Ghost]]: "The Homestar Runner, I'm suh-suh-suh-suh-scared!" || The Homestar Runner is never named without the article, but this is the only instance where it was clearly integral. Of course it's notable that the article distinguishes him from his latter-day counterpart, [[Homestar Runner]]. However, in [[pop-up]], Strong Bad says, "Bye, The Homestar Runner," and Homestar calls himself "the me" in [[Strongest Man in the World]], following the usage of the [[Original Book]].
|-
| <center>[[Image:thesneak.PNG|100px]] [[The Sneak]]</center> || [[2 emails]]: "How was that phraseology, The Sneak?" || The Sneak is never named without the article.
|-
| <center>[[Image:The Moon.PNG|100px]] [[The Moon]]</center> || [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]]: "That's right, The Moon." || "The Moon" was only used as a proper name once in this toon. Other references to the moon (including in the same toon) are constructed as one would normally expect.
|-
| <center>[[Image:tgs-uglyone.PNG|100px]] [[The Ugly One]]</center> || [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]]: "Count us off, The Ugly One." || The Ugly One is never named without the article (except toward the end of [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 14|Issue 14]]), but only in a few cases was it clearly integral. Note that her father's name is [[Manolios Ugly One]], suggesting that "The" is actually her first name.
|-
| <center>[[Image:OTFTIWAASA.png|100px]] The fact that The Ugly One was alive a second ago</center> || [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 12]]: "Ow! My the fact that I was alive a second ago!" || The only time the fact is referred to, but the article is obviously integral.
|-
| <center>[[Image:stinkogame-enemy-tornado.png|100px]] [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 6#Level 6 Boss: The Liekand|The Liekand]]</center> || [[Stinkomanual]]: "'Fashion first, ask sections later.' -The Liekand" || The name of this [[Stinkoman 20X6]] boss appears only briefly in the Stinkomanual. Even so, the article seems to be treated as part of its name.
|-
| <center>[[Image:Better An Ice Machine.png|100px]] [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 7#Level 7 Boss: An Ice Machine (Transcript)|An Ice Machine]]</center> || [[Stinkomanual]]: "'LOOK! I'M TRYING! OKAY?!' -An Ice Machine" || This boss's name is featured similarly to The Liekand's.
|-
| <center>[[Image:Thedenzel.png|100px]] [[The Denzel]]</center> || [[bedtime story]]: "A grodalated old sponge covered in Band-Aids which he affectionately refers to as 'The Denzel.'"|| The Denzel has never actually been shown in an ungrammatical construction, but it's somewhat implied that the article is part of the name.
|-
|<center>[[Image:The_Deke.png|100px]] [[The Deke]]</center> || [[autobiography]]: "But somebody musta slipped him some drugs or something before the game because he didn't see me and he passed it to The Deke instead and The Deke SLAM-DUNKED IT!" || The Deke has never been used in an ungrammatical construction, but every appearance implies the article is part of the name.
|-
| <center>The Flamingo</center> || [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2]]: "I've lost uhmm-my napkin! It's the one I always use when I eat buffalo wings, and I can't find it anywhere. Now, it answers to the name 'The Flamingo'."|| This is the only reference to The Flamingo, but it is clearly an integral article.
|-
| <center>[[Image:sbemail119.PNG|100px]] [[Lappy 486]]</center> || [[retirement]]: "The Lappy! You're back..y!"|| One of the few cases in which the Lappy is referred to with such an article.
|-
| <center>[[Strong Bad's Ladies|The Ladies]]</center> || [[2 emails]]: "You said there'd be the ladies!" ||Except when the [[Ladies' Choice Awards]] logo and [[Strong Sad]] refer to them, the ladies in the email are never referred to without "the".
|-
| <center>[[Image:Robot.png|100px]] [[The Robot (storybook)]]</center> || [[Strongest Man in the World]]: "Our returning champion, the walking metal robot, The Robot!" || [[The Announcer]] appears to be counting "the" as part of The Robot's name when he says this line. In the [[Original Book]], he is not referred to without an article either.
|-

Integral Article

AwkwardFire: "with out" to "without"

[[Image:Integral The.PNG|thumb|"Count us off, The Ugly One."]]
The world of Homestar Runner contains several names of characters, places, sound effects, etc., where an [[Wikipedia:Article (grammar)|article]] (''A'', ''An'', or ''The'') is treated as integral to the name. With varying consistency, these names will include the article, even when it makes the construction of the sentence extremely odd ("And out poured a lifetime supply of fishsticks. And a The Cheat!!!!"). [[The Cheat]] is the most renowned and recognizable example. Even for The Cheat, however, this rule is occasionally overlooked or suspended. For instance, in [[replacement]], [[Strong Bad]]'s epitaph reads, "...and kicking Cheats in the hereafter."

It's interesting that the very first appearance of The Cheat, in the [[Original Book]], did not follow this practice. Although he was referred to as "that CHEAT" and "the cheat", it wasn't really treated as his name—note the lack of capitalization. He was simply being used by Strong Bad as a cheat to win the competition. However, by the time he appeared in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] had presumably decided to adopt "The Cheat" as his official name; several characters address him as such. Thus the unusual inclusion of the article may have started as an inside joke: the Brothers poking fun at themselves for choosing a passing phrase from the book as a major character's name.

On a side note, Wizard's character page on the [[Mellow Mushroom]] site has a page title that reads: "Not THE Wizard, Just Wizard."

|+ '''Names with an Integral Article'''
|- bgcolor=#eeeeee
! Name !! Sample Usage !! Comments
|-
| <center>[[Image:The Cheat Character Video.PNG|100px]] [[The Cheat]]</center> || The title of [[500 The Cheats]] || Only rarely has The Cheat been named without the article. This practice even extends to his language ("Learn to speak... The Cheat" in [[cheat talk]]) and species ("My very own The Cheat!" in [[flashback]]). Strangely, however, [[Cheat Commandos]] ignore this completely. The integral article appears to be overlooked in the title of the email [[cheat talk]] and every instance of the phrase [[cheatday]]. Also, in [[replacement]], Strong Bad says he'll be "kickin' Cheats 'til the day I die." In [[secret recipes]], Homestar calls Strong Bad and The Cheat 'Cheat and The Strong Bad', although this is obviously not a mistake on the part of The Brothers Chaps. In [[Most in the Graveyard]], Strong Bad simply refers to him as "Cheat" while asking if he has rabies again. 
When [[Marzipan]] returns from a date with The Cheat in [[Date Nite]], [[Homestar Runner]] angrily asks her if her name has become "The Marzipan".
|-
| <center>[[Image:TheChief.png|100px]] [[The Chief]]</center> || [[Dangeresque Roomisode 1: Behind the Dangerdesque]]: "Uh, sorry The Chief." || Although The Chief is an unseen character, he is never named without the article.
|-
| <center>[[Image:poopsmith.PNG|100px]] [[The Poopsmith]]</center> || [[King of Town Email]]: "Anybody? The Poopsmith? That little chef guy? I need some help here!" || This is a rare instance where The Poopsmith was clearly named with an integral article, along with Homestar addressing him as "The Poopsmith" in [[the show]]. There are many occasions when he has been referred to as "a Poopsmith", "my Poopsmith", or simply "Poopsmith", although Strong Bad did capitalize the ''The'' when typing in [[secret identity]]. Later, in [[KOT's VOQPCS!]], [[The King of Town]] directly addressed him as "The Poopsmith."
|-
| <center>[[Image:close Paper.png|100px]] [[The Paper]]</center> || [[for kids]]: "THE PAPER, PLEASE TAKE US HOME." || The Paper is never named without the article.
|-
| <center>[[Image:TheStick.png|100px]] [[The Stick]]</center> || [[labor day]]: "High five, The Stick." || The Stick is never named without the article, but only a few times has it been unambiguously integral.
|-
| <center>[[Image:qod 31 - geddup noise.png]] [[The Geddup Noise]]</center> || [[geddup noise]]: "THIS IS NOT A THE GEDDUP NOISE T-SHIRT" || The Geddup Noise generally only includes the article when grammar allows. Strong Sad's T-shirts, for some reason, are the exception to this.
|-
| <center>[[Image:the teach.PNG|100px]] [[The Teach]]</center> || [[geddup noise]]: "Isn't that right, The Teach?" || The Teach's name only appears twice. The other appearance was on [[Monkey D]]'s T-shirt in an Easter egg, where it was unclear whether the article was integral. Since The Teach's appearance and name are based on those of The Cheat, it is unsurprising that The Teach inherits the integral article.
|-
| <center>[[Image:thehstarr2.png|100px]] [[The Homestar Runner]]</center> || [[That A Ghost]]: "The Homestar Runner, I'm suh-suh-suh-suh-scared!" || The Homestar Runner is never named without the article, but this is the only instance where it was clearly integral. Of course it's notable that the article distinguishes him from his latter-day counterpart, [[Homestar Runner]]. However, in [[pop-up]], Strong Bad says, "Bye, The Homestar Runner," and Homestar calls himself "the me" in [[Strongest Man in the World]], following the usage of the [[Original Book]].
|-
| <center>[[Image:thesneak.PNG|100px]] [[The Sneak]]</center> || [[2 emails]]: "How was that phraseology, The Sneak?" || The Sneak is never named without the article.
|-
| <center>[[Image:The Moon.PNG|100px]] [[The Moon]]</center> || [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]]: "That's right, The Moon." || "The Moon" was only used as a proper name once in this toon. Other references to the moon (including in the same toon) are constructed as one would normally expect.
|-
| <center>[[Image:tgs-uglyone.PNG|100px]] [[The Ugly One]]</center> || [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]]: "Count us off, The Ugly One." || The Ugly One is never named without the article (except toward the end of [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 14|Issue 14]]), but only in a few cases was it clearly integral. Note that her father's name is [[Manolios Ugly One]], suggesting that "The" is actually her first name.
|-
| <center>[[Image:OTFTIWAASA.png|100px]] The fact that The Ugly One was alive a second ago</center> || [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 12]]: "Ow! My the fact that I was alive a second ago!" || The only time the fact is referred to, but the article is obviously integral.
|-
| <center>[[Image:stinkogame-enemy-tornado.png|100px]] [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 6#Level 6 Boss: The Liekand|The Liekand]]</center> || [[Stinkomanual]]: "'Fashion first, ask sections later.' -The Liekand" || The name of this [[Stinkoman 20X6]] boss appears only briefly in the Stinkomanual. Even so, the article seems to be treated as part of its name.
|-
| <center>[[Image:Better An Ice Machine.png|100px]] [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 7#Level 7 Boss: An Ice Machine (Transcript)|An Ice Machine]]</center> || [[Stinkomanual]]: "'LOOK! I'M TRYING! OKAY?!' -An Ice Machine" || This boss's name is featured similarly to The Liekand's.
|-
| <center>[[Image:Thedenzel.png|100px]] [[The Denzel]]</center> || [[bedtime story]]: "A grodalated old sponge covered in Band-Aids which he affectionately refers to as 'The Denzel.'"|| The Denzel has never actually been shown in an ungrammatical construction, but it's somewhat implied that the article is part of the name.
|-
|<center>[[Image:The_Deke.png|100px]] [[The Deke]]</center> || [[autobiography]]: "But somebody musta slipped him some drugs or something before the game because he didn't see me and he passed it to The Deke instead and The Deke SLAM-DUNKED IT!" || The Deke has never been used in an ungrammatical construction, but every appearance implies the article is part of the name.
|-
| <center>The Flamingo</center> || [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2]]: "I've lost uhmm-my napkin! It's the one I always use when I eat buffalo wings, and I can't find it anywhere. Now, it answers to the name 'The Flamingo'."|| This is the only reference to The Flamingo, but it is clearly an integral article.
|-
| <center>[[Image:sbemail119.PNG|100px]] [[Lappy 486]]</center> || [[retirement]]: "The Lappy! You're back..y!"|| One of the few cases in which the Lappy is referred to with such an article.
|-
| <center>[[Strong Bad's Ladies|The Ladies]]</center> || [[2 emails]]: "You said there'd be the ladies!" ||Except when the [[Ladies' Choice Awards]] logo and [[Strong Sad]] refer to them, the ladies in the email are never referred to without "the".
|-
| <center>[[Image:Robot.png|100px]] [[The Robot (storybook)]]</center> || [[Strongest Man in the World]]: "Our returning champion, the walking metal robot, The Robot!" || [[The Announcer]] appears to be counting "the" as part of The Robot's name when he says this line. In the [[Original Book]], he is not referred to without an article either.
|-
| <center>The Yellow Dart</center> || [[english paper]]: "Alright The Yellow Dart, you owe me, man." || Although The Yellow Dart is a nickname Strong Bad made up and not an actual character, the article is still obviously integral.
|-
| <center>The words 'smiley face'</center> || [[concert]]: "Wipe that smiley face off your the words 'smiley face.'" || This is the only reference to the words, but the article in it is clearly integral.
|-
| <center>[[Image:Halloween 2007 Marzipan.PNG|100px]] The Girlfriend Formerly Known as Marzipan</center> || [[Jibblies 2]]: "Hey, the girlfriend formerly known as Marzipan, I think you missed a little bit when you were shaving." || This is the only instance in which Marzipan is referred to with this [[nickname]], but when using it the article is clearly integral.

Dangeresque Roomisode 1: Behind the Dangerdesque

AwkwardFire: /* Remarks */ gnome. added "side" to "the opposite of the desk"

{{gamenav|New Game|dangeresque|Kid Speedy|TROGDOR!}}
[[Image:Dangeresque Roomisode 1 Gameplay Screenshot.PNG|thumb|"This whole system is outta line!"]]
''Roomisodic gaming makes its debut with Strong Bad's secret detective-for-hire action hero: Dangeresque! Point and Click your way to adventure but don't forget the Arrow Keys!'' — [[Videlectrix]]

'''Dangeresque Roomisode 1: Behind the Dangerdesque''' is a [[Videlectrix]] adventure game in the style of old [[Wikipedia:LucasArts adventure games|LucasArts adventure games]]. The player must help Dangeresque solve a case without leaving [[Smoky Office|his office]].

'''Cast:''' [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]], [[Renaldo]], [[The Chief]], {{film|Pom Pom}}, {{film|Strong Sad}}

'''Date:''' Monday, December 1, 2008

'''Page Title:''' Dangeresque - Roomisode 1: Behind The Dangerdesque

==Ways to Lose the Game==
All Game Overs have the same "go to jail" ending.
*Use the door 3 times
*Talk to the door 3 times
*Use the coffee with the case file
*Use Dragon-Man takeout with the case file
*Miss with the inked UNSOLVED stamp on the case file

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===

*[[Wikipedia: film noir|Noir atmosphere]] is a film technique typical of [[wikipedia: crime dramas|crime dramas]]

===Remarks===
*When Pom Pom unsticks the take-out food, Japanese letters flash briefly, despite the fact that the food and kung-fu martial arts are Chinese.
**The characters are [[wikipedia:katakana|katakana]], and spell "Kikku", or basically "Kick!"
*After collecting the photographic evidence, when the camera is used on an item in the room Dangeresque says he won't take another picture because he's "only gots one instant shot left," but when the camera is used on the window he says he's "outta film."
*Strong Bad does not look as short next to The Chief as he does next to the people in the "Behind The Bad" shorts.
*The only time you need to manually move Strong Bad is if he's on the opposite side of the desk.
*You can also use the numpad to move, even diagonally, much like the classic Sierra games.

===Goofs===
*On the opening scene when Dangeresque enters the room, after his first line of dialog his position moves slightly to the left.

===Fixed Goofs===
*The Videlectrix main page initially linked to [[HR:roomisode1.html|roomisode1.html]] upon release. This was fixed within a few minutes.

===Glitches===
*The safe-combination note is semi-transparent and in front of Dangeresque, so when walking over the safe-combination note, its color changes to whatever color is behind it.
*While using the numpad to move, sometimes moving diagonally will make Strong Bad walk backwards.
*After spinning the chair the first time and uncovering the business card, the card appears briefly a second time as Strong Bad is hopping off the chair. This does not happen in subsequent chair spins.
*If you use the takeout package with the blinds, but Strong Bad is not near the window at the time, Strong Bad will reach into the air in his current location, and the takeout will magically appear on the windowsill. If you do the same with other inventory items or open/close the blinds when you are not near the window, Strong Bad will walk over to the window before this animation occurs.
*If you keep repeatedly clicking to use the un-solved stamp on the case file it will cause the animation to glitch and reset and can even cause the file to become marked solved with the stamp mark in the center of the page
*You can walk Dangeresque into the desk if you walk up into it near the bottom-left corner.

===Fixed Glitches===
*Looking at the rug when the glowing ink is visible would previously earn points each time attempted.
**Looking at or using the take-out before having it dislodged could also be repeated for additional points.
*Placing the whoozit last would prevent the player from finishing the game.
*If you inked the stamp, then pounded the desk again, another stamp would appear in the drawer.
*Placing the inked rubber stamp in the window and then closing the desk drawer used to make the stamp disappear. Reopening the drawer then made it reappear. Attempting to retrieve the stamp replayed the stamp-getting sequence. (The stamp did not reappear on the window sill until re-inked.) This caused two stamps (one inked, one dry) in the inventory at once. These actions also earned points each time they were completed, thus one was able to achieve a score over 170. However, once placed and disappeared, the blinds could not be closed again and Strong Bad was also unable to put anything new on the window sill.
*Clicking on the switch while below the chair formerly caused the game to hang.

===Inside References===
*[[Puking|Upchuck]] is called "whoozit", which is similar to how crap is called "[[whatsit]]".
*One of the "Game Over" screens in the game says "[[Seriously]] though".
*When Strong Bad gets off the chair the first time, he says "feelin' woozy", like Strong Sad did in [[caffeine]].
*If Strong Bad stamps the casefile as UN-SOLVED, he remarks "This does not look good for Dangeresque", which is similar to Homestar's line in [[50 emails]]
*Talking to certain objects will have Dangeresque ask the object "Do you know the times?", as [[Homestar Runner]] asked of [[Made-Up Strong Bad Animals#Monstrosity|the Monstrosity]] in [[animal]].
*When Dangeresque talks to the Chinese food container, he references a line from [[Trogdor]]'s theme song.
**Also, when he refers to the figure on the box as a "Dragon Man", it further references the song.
*Strong Bad asking whether something makes his head look husky is a reference to [[modeling]].
*Coach Z previously said "Stairmaster" as an attempt at Homestar's name in [[A Jorb Well Done]].
*Strong Bad telling the switch that he doesn't rave is a reference to the Cheat's raving in [[techno]].
*Strong Bad mentions that there is a camera [[all up on|all up in]] the safe.
*Strong Bad mentions that his [[parents|grandma]] used to air her whoozit out.

===Real-World References===
*The background art, particularly the clouds at the end of the game, are very reminiscent of [[Wikipedia:Day of the Tentacle|Day of the Tentacle]] and various adventure games by [[Wikipedia:Sierra Entertainment|Sierra Entertainment]].
*When using the phone, Strong Bad says "We're sending help immediately, Mrs. Fletcher!", a reference to the famous [[Wikipedia:I've fallen and I can't get up!|LifeCall commercial]].
*At the start, the Dangeresque logo has sparkles similar to the Lucasarts logo in [[Wikipedia:The Secret Of Monkey Island|The Secret Of Monkey Island]] by Lucasarts and [[Wikipedia:Leisure Suit Larry Goes Looking for Love (in Several Wrong Places)|Leisure Suit Larry 2]] by Sierra.
*The scene with Dangeresque and Renaldo bursting into the room is similar to the intro sequence from [[Wikipedia:Sam & Max Hit The Road|Sam & Max Hit The Road]].
*Strong Bad going to jail is a reference to Game Over sequences in Sierra adventure games, this was previously parodied in the [[Wikipedia:Monkey Island Series|Monkey Island]] series.
**The Game Over screen also has some resemblance to the game over screen in [[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong Country 2|Donkey Kong Country 2]].
*A [[Wikipedia: Stairmaster|Stairmaster]] is a piece of exercise equipment.
*Taking a "proverbial bite out of proverbial crime" is a reference to [[Wikipedia: Scruff McGruff|McGruff the Crime Dog]].
*The detective that can't leave his own office is the initial driver of the community-driven webcomic ''Problem Sleuth''.

Renaldo

2008-12-04T18:09:21Z

AwkwardFire: fixing slight misquote.

[[Image:Renaldo.png|thumb|right|220px|Works with Dangeresque - All the Time]]

'''Renaldo''' is the role played by [[Coach Z]] in [[Strong Bad]]'s [[Dangeresque (film series)|''Dangeresque'' films]]. [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] describes his relationship with Renaldo by saying that he "[works] alone, except when [he] works with Renaldo, which is all the time."

Renaldo returns in [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]], once again aiding Dangeresque in his missions. In this movie, he is to retire in two weeks. Renaldo is later kidnapped by [[Craig]] and [[Uzi Bazooka]] and taken to their space station at the Sun. He reportedly dies at the end of the movie, when the space station is destroyed.

In extended play, click on Renaldo to see a [[deleted]] scene where Dangeresque saves him, [[Dangeresque Too]] defeats Craig, and the three sing.

==Costume and Insignia==

Renaldo wears a turban with an improperly aligned "Star & Crescent" insignia; the symbol in question is identified most strongly with the Ottoman Empire or represents the symbol of Islam. Depending on Renaldo's heritage, Coach Z is either wearing the pin sideways or entirely upside-down. Atop the turban Renaldo wears a Fez, perhaps indicating a superlative layer of cultural identification with Morocco. Of course, the name "Renaldo" is Hispanic (being the [[Spanish]] form of Reynold), giving us a further insight into the confused cultural identity of this complex character, who is, of course, played with Coach Z's usual flair for the [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:American_english#North_Central_American_English|accent]].

On the DVD commentary for [[stunt double]], [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] and [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] point out that Renaldo's symbol is also the insignia for the [http://www.cityofno.com/Portals/Portal50/portal.aspx New Orleans Police Department].

At present, both Renaldo's origins and his future plans are shrouded in mystery; but perhaps future sequels (or prequels) in the Dangeresque film franchise will allow us to know more about this fascinating, freelance law-enforcement officer, and his family's unique immigrant experience.

== Biography ==
'''Pom Pom''' (also spelled '''Pom-Pom''') is a [[Pom]] from the [[Isle of Pom]]. Pom Pom, like all Poms, appears to be inflated. His body consists of a yellow sphere with an orange stripe. His oval head, and triangluar arms and feet are the same color orange. Pom Pom's eyes are black ovals and he has [[Lack of Visible Body Parts|no visible mouth]]. He talks by making [[Lack of Intelligible Speech|bubbly noises]] and can absorb objects into his body for storage, suggesting that he is made of some sort of gelatinous substance. He is also quite skilled in [[Wikipedia:Martial Art|martial arts]] (see [[Pom Pom#Fighting Skills|below]]).

Pom Pom is [[Homestar Runner]]'s [[Homestar Runner and Pom Pom's Relationship|best friend]], but he sometimes [[Strong Bad and Pom Pom's Relationship|hangs out]] with [[Strong Bad]] as well. He has such an open mind that he sometimes spends time with unpopular characters such as [[The King of Town]] and [[The Poopsmith]]. Pom Pom is often seen talking on [[Cell Phones|his cell phone]] to his many [[Pom Pom's girls|girls]], and he keeps track of their contact information in his [[Pom Pilot]]. His parents' names are [[General and Fraulein Pom Pom]], as seen in an Easter egg in the email [[pom pom]]. Pom Pom was going to have a dog named [[Rejected Characters#Trivia Time|Trivia Time]], but this concept seems to have been abandoned. Pom Pom is also "the big cheese" at [[The Office]] as shown in [[from work]].

===Fun Facts===
*Homestar claims Pom Pom helped him out of some [[Homestar Runner's Pants|tight pants]].

== Fighting Skills ==
[[Image:MartialArtsPom-Pom.PNG|thumb|right|160px|Kung-Fu skills.]]
Pom Pom is skilled in the martial arts and appears to enjoy fighting.

The first instance of Pom Pom fighting is inside a dojo from the [[Theme Song Video]] where he shows off his moves; this is broadened on later in the email [[pom pom]] where he gets a [[Nintendo|1-Up]] by severely pummeling Strong Bad. In the [[pom pom#Commentary Transcript|commentary]] for the same email, [[The Brothers Chaps]] discussed wanting to make a side scrolling Pom Pom fighting game. His skills are seen again in [[personal favorites]] where he got into a "knife fight" with [[Coach Z]]. In [[Summer Short Shorts]], Pom Pom shows off his skills with a [[Wikipedia:Bō|Bō]] and disappears with a smoke bomb. In [[Dangeresque Roomisode 1: Behind the Dangerdesque]], he is seen as a take-out technician who kicks an old take-out box of Chineese food to unstick it from Dangeresque's safe.

AwkwardFire: shorter example.

[[Image:Integral The.PNG|thumb|"Count us off, The Ugly One."]]
The world of Homestar Runner contains several names of characters, places, sound effects, etc., where an [[Wikipedia:Article (grammar)|article]] (''A'', ''An'', or ''The'') is treated as integral to the name. With varying consistency, these names will include the article, even when it makes the construction of the sentence extremely odd ("And out poured a lifetime supply of fishsticks. And a The Cheat!!!!"). [[The Cheat]] is the most renowned and recognizable example. Even for The Cheat, however, this rule is occasionally overlooked or suspended. For instance, in [[replacement]], [[Strong Bad]]'s epitaph reads, "...and kicking Cheats in the hereafter."

It's interesting that the very first appearance of The Cheat, in the [[Original Book]], did not follow this practice. Although he was referred to as "that CHEAT" and "the cheat", it wasn't really treated as his name—note the lack of capitalization. He was simply being used by Strong Bad as a cheat to win the competition. However, by the time he appeared in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] had presumably decided to adopt "The Cheat" as his official name; several characters address him as such. Thus the unusual inclusion of the article may have started as an inside joke: the Brothers poking fun at themselves for choosing a passing phrase from the book as a major character's name.

On a side note, Wizard's character page on the [[Mellow Mushroom]] site has a page title that reads: "Not THE Wizard, Just Wizard."

|-

In the [[Original Book]], he is not referred to without an article either.
|-

AwkwardFire: /**/The Banana Cellphone

"Cellular, modular, interactive-odular!"

Who put that there? Maybe if it was by TBC it would fit, but now it looks dumb.

--

Okay, I'm gonna be blunt: could you please explain WHY you want that inappropriate caption there so badly?!

--
Hey, what about [[portrait]]? Strong Bad has a cell phone in his picture. [[User:69.209.69.86|69.209.69.86]] 21:30, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

== picture and caption ==

I changed the caption on the picture of the phone because that's not the phone he writes, directs, produces, and distributes with, but it should still be a picture of that phone to illustrate the oddities it mentions in the summary.--[[User:Antisexy|Antisexy]] 07:23, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

== The Banana Cellphone ==

Shouldn't it rate more than a "mentioned" for Answering Machine 13.2? I mean, it may not be a REAL cell phone, but it IS used and appears in this 'toon. Just a thought. {{User:AwkwardFire/sig}} 18:08, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

{{dvd|Everything Else, Volume 1}}

== Transcript ==
''{Strong Bad and Homestar are seen standing around in a mysterious blue space. Strong Bad is looking around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Bad, could you give me a hand with this—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{interrupting}'' Wait a minute, shut up. Where the crap ''are'' we?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. Someplace.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What're we doing here? ''{looks behind him at the blue background}'' It's like we're in Blue Fadey Land or something. ''{faces Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhhhm... maybe this is heaven! We're dead!

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, it can't be heaven. There's not enough Twinkies.

''{Homestar looks to his left, and produces a Twinkie from offscreen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Here's a Twinkie.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. ''{looks to his right}'' Maybe this ''is'' heaven!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, and it's just you and me, forever!

''{Strong Bad slowly turns his head toward the camera as Homestar says this. As Strong Bad speaks, the background grows red}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait a minute... ''this isn't heaven!!!''

''{Strong Bad flies to the left side of the screen and starts pounding on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''WAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!''

''{Strong Bad slides down off the bottom of the screen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, you're right. I think it's Massachusetts.

''{Homestar smiles.}''

==Easter Eggs==

*Click on Homestar's twinkie at the end to see Homestar use it as a telephone.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{imitating telephone}'' Brinnng! Brinnng!
:''{Homestar holds the Twinkie up to his ear.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hello? Senator Pencilface. Yes, this is Homestar. Yes sir, I can save the day!
:''{He puts the Twinkie down in midair with a telephone click noise. Then he looks to his left and lifts his leg up as if to run off, then stops, puts his leg down and looks around.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um... I really don't think there's a way out of here.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*This cartoon could be found in the program [[Wikipedia:Macromedia Central|Macromedia Central]] by going into "Help → About Central" and Ctrl-doubleclicking on the "C" logo (On Mac go into "Central → About Central" and double CMD Clicking on the C logo). When given a password field, one would type in "sbemail" and press enter. The cartoon would then play in the "about" box.

===Trivia===
*The blue and red "fadey" backgrounds are color fill techniques known as [[Wikipedia: Image gradient|gradients]], where the color fades along the fill area.
*In the [[Quote of the Week#QW-2005-06-10|Quote of the Week]] Strong Bad is incorrectly quoted as saying "''Naw'', it can't be heaven."

=== Remarks ===
*Although this is not on the main site, the quote by Strong Bad — "Naw, it can't be heaven. There's not enough Twinkies" — was used as the [[Quote of the Week#2005-06-10|Quote of the Week]] for June 10, 2005.
*This toon also appeared in an Easter egg on [[Everything Else, Volume 1]].
*Homestar pulls the Twinkie from [[hammerspace]].
*Strong Bad hints that they are really in [[hell]].

===Goofs===
[[Image:Where The Crap Goof.png|thumb|Close-up of Homestar shrugging.]]
*Homestar Runner's head extends beyond his shirt during most of this animation, especially when he shrugs.

=== Inside References ===
*This toon includes one of the [[Names Ending in -face]].

=== Real-World References ===
*[[Wikipedia:Twinkies|Twinkies]] are a snack cake produced by [[Wikipedia:Hostess|Hostess]], a division of [[Wikipedia:Interstate Bakeries Corporation|Interstate Bakeries]].
*This toon could be a reference to the [[Wikipedia: Jean-Paul Sartre|Jean-Paul Sartre]] play "[[Wikipedia:No Exit|No Exit]]". Written in 1944, this [[Wikipedia: Existentialism|existential]] play explores the idea that "hell is other people", a concept which Strong Bad comes to realize and finally panics over.

=== Fast Forward ===
*A [[Foods used as phones|food used as a phone]] is seen again in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2]], and once more in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 12]].

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Driving down the strip in my cool cool car, checkin' all the emails out!

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hey Strong Bad! 
 
Whatever happened to that "No Loafing" 
sign you used to have? 
 
Ryan, CO</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "CO" as "Co... colo-colorado."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, great question, stupid! Here's an answer. ''{typing}'' The year was 1987, not a very good year for productivity. And as a result, productivity was down something-eight percent.

''{A pie-chart, circa 1987, falls down displaying the productivity rating}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I realized things were gonna spiral out of control unless I gave them a little jumpstart. A sign that said "No Loafing"—

''{A picture of Strong Bad standing by the sign appears}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —was the answer. ''{clears screen, continues typing}'' But that was a long time ago. I suppose ol' Loafy might be losing his edge. Maybe I should put up some of those inspirational posters and stuff to get things back in gear. You know, the kinds that have ''{stops typing}'' like ''{resumes typing}'' whales or sunsets or windsurfers on em. And they say stuff about determination and giving a care.

''{Cut to the garage. Strong Bad walks in on Strong Mad and the Cheat sleeping under the "No Loafing" sign next to a [[The Smashed Muffler|beat-up muffler]] and a length of pipe. He has a bunch of posters under one arm.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You guys are pathetic.

'''STRONG MAD:''' Dah?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Have you forgotten what got us here?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{questioning The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No Loafing got us here!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{indifferent The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Take a look at these bad boys and get back to work!

'''STRONG MAD:''' Dah!

''{Strong Bad begins posting the posters. The first one is a picture of a whale's tail sticking out of the clouds and it is captioned "Remember the 'tivities: Creativity; Productivity; Activity; Get Back To Work."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This one's got like some kinda whale...in space...

''{He puts one up that has a picture of a windsurfer and the caption "Failure is not a four-letter word."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And this one talks about cussing...

'''STRONG BAD:''' And this one's incredibly inspirational...

''{He puts one up with a picture of a guy jumping out of the water and it's captioned "I HAVE FRIENDS! Keep working, little man"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...with the bursting waters...

''{He puts up a framed picture of a dog captioned "The Cheat, watch your freakin' back, Squeaky."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Here's one a-those hush puppies. They'll make you work for it.

''{He places a wood-burning with a horse on it on the wall. It is captioned "The loneliest goat sees the last sunset last..."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And this wood-burny thing's got some kinda old adage on it. About goats.

''{Strong Mad instantly leaps up with a yell. The Cheat tosses him the pipe, which he uses to smash the muffler.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Excellent! That-a way, boys! Chins up! Tifle down! And so on...

''{Strong Bad walks back to his computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, whoever, I see I've gotten things back on track. Sounds like I deserve a three-hour lunch. I'ma head over to Bubs' for one of his 30-cent lunch specials.

''{Strong Bad puts a sticky note on the screen reading "out to lunch, then appointment, then something else" and leaves. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:Bubs lunch special.PNG|thumb|Out to lunch]]
*At the very end you can click on "lunch specials" to see [[Bubs]]' lunch specials:
** 2 buffalo wing bones (hot)
** A cup of ice
** A half-eaten candy bar
*Also at the end you can click on the word "appointment" on the Post-It to see exactly what that appointment was.

:''{Cut to Strong Sad's room. Strong Sad is in bed.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{jumping up and down on Strong Sad}'' I hate you. I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Ooh! Ooh! Ow! Ooh! Oh!

== Fun Facts ==

===Trivia===
[[Image:No Loafing!.PNG|thumb|right|Ol' Loafy in the late-'80s.]]
*When the picture of Strong Bad pointing to the No Loafing sign in 1987 flashes up, the screen of [[Tandy 400]] reads:
<blockquote class="tandy email" style="background-image:none">Dear Strong Bad, 
I like your wallpaper. 
 
-Mendelev</blockquote>
:The wallpaper shown is done in the style of a typical '80s home, complete with pears and two other angiosperms.
*In an earlier version of this e-mail, this spot contained the same screen seen in [[little animal]] right up until Strong Bad calls the Cheat over.
*The [[Charts|chart]] reads: Productivity 5%, Loafing 95%. Hence the sign.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad's arms are too short to reach the tops of the posters as he puts them up.
*This email has [[Irregular Loading Screens|no loading screen]].

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad mentions the year [[1987]] for the second email in a row.

===Goofs===
*When the picture of Strong Bad in front of the Tandy comes up, the green lines on the Tandy are moving, even though it's supposed to be a photo.
*When Strong Mad takes hold of the pipe and his hand is up, he has five fingers. When his hand is down, he only has four.
*When Strong Bad puts up the poster with the bursting water it is not covering the "NO LOAFING" sign, when the view zooms out the poster seems to be covering the "NO LOAFING" sign.

===Real-World References===
*The poster on Strong Sad's wall in the "appointment" Easter egg is of the emo band [[Wikipedia:The Promise Ring|The Promise Ring]].

===Fast-Forward===
*[[Mendelev]], the wallpaper-admirer, turns out to become a character in [[Peasant's Quest]], much like [[Jhonka]] and [[Kerrek]].
*The [[Hanging Objects|poster]] of the whale's tail that says "Remember the 'Tivities:" is used later in the [[Puppet Stuff#Biz Cas Fri|Biz Cas Fri]] toons on Strong Bad's wall.
*Strong Bad would later try to get Bubs to give him a free lunch special in the [[lunch special|sbemail of the same name]].
*The No Loafing sign would get redesigned in [[redesign]].
*Strong Mad and The Cheat smash a muffler with a pipe again in [[origins]] and [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]].

== DVD Version ==
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
*The "I hate you, I hate you" Easter egg was extended, making it more practical for DVD players that take a while to load the clip.
===Commentary Transcript===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''MATT:''' So, no loafing, the no loafing sign... I'm trying to figure out where...where it first came from when we first used it.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, well, where it comes from is an old Batman episode. The uh, Joker, his lair, in the background, on the wall there's this sign that says "no loafing."

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' Is that it? When The Joker goes to school?

'''MIKE:''' It's behind the candy store; their secret hideout's behind the candy store

'''MATT:''' The "Easy Living" Candy Store.

'''MIKE:''' That's right.

'''MATT:''' Um, so anyway, the no loafing sign is uh, another reference to Batman

'''MIKE:''' Oh, that right there, that chart, I used to have this job where I made graphics just like that all the time, so that's why it was so well shaded. Oh, and I want to make that wallpaper.

'''MATT:''' And, that, uh, you'll notice, in that still photograph, the lines are moving on the computer.

'''MIKE:''' What lines?

'''MATT:''' The lines on the old computer. The green lines!

'''MIKE:''' Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! I missed... Oh!

'''MATT:''' Yeah. It's one of those "Harry Potter" photographs.

''{Mike laughs}''

'''MATT:''' A Muggle photograph. Er, non...non-Muggle.

'''MIKE:''' Now this was fun to make, to make these posters and stuff.

'''MATT:''' Them, that's a reference to the basis movie I made in college where these no good-nicks are beating on a muffler with a lead pipe. Mike made that one.

'''MIKE:''' That was fun to do. Whales...

'''MATT:''' That one's great.

'''MIKE:''' And look...

'''MIKE AND MATT:''' There's our friend Matt!

'''MIKE:''' At the beach!

'''MATT:''' He's on later, he has a voice appearance

'''MIKE:''' Appearance, yeah. Which e-mail is that in?

'''MATT:''' ''{Imitating the other Matt}'' Mom!!

'''MIKE:''' He says that

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Shins up... They've really given up the works there.

'''MIKE:''' Batbede... That's another song that gets into our heads ''all'' the time.

'''MIKE AT MATT:''' ''{singing}'' BatbedededeBatbededede ''{laughing}''

'''MIKE:''' I like Bubs', uh... Hey, do we get– ''{cut off}''

===Fun Facts===

*Matt calls the moving photograph a "Harry Potter" photo. This is referring to the moving pictures in the ''[[Wikipedia:Harry Potter|Harry Potter]]'' series of books and movies. He first calls it a "Muggle" photograph and then corrects himself and calls it a "non-Muggle" (i.e. magical) photograph. [[Wikipedia:Muggle|"Muggle"]] is a word referring to non-magical people in the Harry Potter universe.
*When Matt refers to TBC's friend Matt's voice appearance, he is referring to the TV voice in [[sibbie]]. He is mistaken in saying that the appearance is "on later" because "sibbie" actually comes ''before'' "no loafing".

AwkwardFire: /* Strong Mad's classification */ lead vocals only?

{{featuredarticle}}
== Based on Graffiti ==

That sound similar to the origin of "Smells Like Teen Spirit."--[[User:Jnelson09|Jnelson09]] 15:54, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

:Interesting point. Worthy of mentioning on the talk page at least, but it probably fits a little better on the Cool Things page. I've [[Talk:Cool Things#Based on Graffiti|moved the discussion]]. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 18:07, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

== Guitar ==

*Strong Mads Bass Guitar appears to be a jet black Hofner Icon.
I don't know enough about guitars to know if this is true or not. Is there something distinctive about it that someone can confirm? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 15:38, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

== Style ==

Does this remind anyone else of the band 'Swell Maps?' —Anonymous Contributor

== Strong Mad's classification ==

So, he's listed as just a basist, but he also did vocals on "My Face (Please Don't Stick Needles In It)". Should it be changed to (bass/vocals)? {{User:AwkwardFire/sig}} 18:15, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
:So, apparently only the lead vocalist gets named as "vocals", but he did do lead vocals on "My Face"... so... any suggestions? {{User:AwkwardFire/sig}} 04:27, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
