== We don't have filmographies where ''I'' come from, rumble...==

Just as a clarification: If a picture of a established character appears in a cartoon (such as [[Homsar]] in [[Ever and More!]] or [[Rumble Red]] in mini-golf), they shouldn't be added to the filmography, just mentioned either in the transcript or Remarks as appropriate? We are only counting if they are "physically" there or not, right? {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 14:39, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
:Right. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:51, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

== Flavored water ==

the recent change i made has be deleted. your reason for doing so was " is "both" a reference, or just a remark?"

i had it under trivia. {{unsigned|Clergyman|}}
:The way he says "both" does not really sound like "flavored water" from [[rough copy]], so it's not a reference nor is it remarkable. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:57, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

==Monster Man?==
I think Homsar says "Monster Myers" not "Monster Man".
: I pretty distinctly hear "Monster Man". Homsar just puts unnecessary dipthongs in his speech, along with all of his other weird speech patterns. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:12, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I hear Monster ma-yan, which is just monster man. Okay.-That same guy that originally asked this
:I heard Monster may-an. [[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 22:23, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
::Um... Call me crazy, but I keep hearing [[Wikipedia:The Munsters|Munster]] Man.--[[User:Antisexy|Antisexy]] 01:38, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
:::I second that. {{User:Einstein runner/sig}} 03:55, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
::::I transcribed the easter egg and I also think it sounds a ''little'' more like Munster man. Nevertheless, "monster man" makes a bit more sense in context (to the extent than anything Homsar says makes sense in context). I won't complain if anyone opts for "Munster" instead.--[[User:Bobo the King|Bobo the King]] 07:49, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Is it remark-worthy that Homsar's utterance is quite sensible, but the Drive-Thru Whale's statement preceding it ("Pave your brown") is a clear example of a word salad? [[User:Catgirl|Catgirl]] 01:39, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
:Probably should be mentioned in that research article we got going on Homsar's speech pattern, but I dunno if a remark is warranted here, cat<s>man</s>girl, as it's not the first time we can understand Homsar.
:And for the record, I hear "Munster May-an." (Barakku don't wanna login) --[[User:65.103.58.163|65.103.58.163]] 07:17, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

== power of 10 ==

10^10 would equal 10,000,000,000 and Homestar's birdie would be 9,999,999,999 putts. Worth a mention??
:Probably not. The terms are already explained on the page, and the par of 1010 is on the [[Sweet Puttin' Cakes]] page. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 16:42, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

== Kosmik/Cosmic Bowling ==

"Kosmik (or Cosmic) Bowling is a promotion where fluorescent pins, black lights, and loud music are used on the lanes. "
is this really a widespread name? I've heard blacklight bowling be called 4 or 5 different names. I think this is probably what they call it at one particular bowling alley that the guy who added this went to -[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 17:33, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
:Looking at the Wikipedia page for [[Wikipedia:Bowling|bowling]], Cosmic bowling is indeed one of many names for the same promotion, including Xtreme bowling. I think, however, that it is common enough that it is not limited to just one bowling alley. I've heard it called "Cosmic bowling" at some of the lanes locally, for example. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 17:38, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
: Should it be a real world reference or an explainaton? [[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 03:35, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
There's a bowling game for either N64 or PS1 (I forget which) which has a Cosmic Bowling option. I'm fairly sure of the name. User:Zoom/sig 23:37, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
:I have that game, Brunswick something-or-other for PS1. It is Cosmic Bowling there. --[[User:Bishop|Bishop]] 00:25, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

== Homsar's Hat ==

Is it worth noting that Homsar's hat left his head without coming back again? It just happened last time in [[the paper]], where it was noted in the Trivia section. [[User:Pdkauffmann|Pdkauffmann]] 18:53, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
:In origins and the paper, it landed on someone else. This is the first time that it just vanished. Mayhaps the strange laws of physics in Sweet Puttin' Cakes interfere with Homsars own strange laws of physics. But anyway, isn't his hat flying off his head the kind of thing that gets mentioned in the transcript?--[[User:Antisexy|Antisexy]] 21:48, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

== No back button? ==

Is it on purpose that there is no "back" button at the end of this sbemail?
:I doubt it, as it has only just been released. Also, please sign your posts using for tildes (~). [[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 22:39, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
:There is no escaping the Sweet Puttin' Cakes email. You just have to will yourself back to the sbemail nav page.--[[User:Bobo the King|Bobo the King]] 07:51, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

== Speaking backwards ==

It's cute and all to write Strong Bad's backwards speech reversed letter for letter in the transcript, but it doesn't really do any good. Anyone actually reading the transcript would probably be confused and have to figure it out, which is not something we should aim for. On top of that, it's not accurate just to write the letters backwards, because you wouldn't actually pronounce the phrase that way. When watching the toon, the impression you get as you hear Strong Bad speak is, "hmm, he's speaking backwards", but you can't tell what he's saying unless you edit the sound later. Thus, "''{speaking backwards}''" should be sufficient to get the point across. Note that we ''do'' decode what he says in the Trivia section. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:02, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
:But we wrote Strong Bad's backwards talking siht ekil on [[rock opera|this page]]. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 01:58, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
::True, but it's my position that it should be changed as well. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:53, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

==Putt-Putt==

Is putt-putt an explaination or a real world reference? [[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 03:57, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
:Putt-putt is a name for mini golf. The "golf-golf" bit is a reference to "putt-putt". {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:01, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
:This explaination is very poorly worded. Putt-Putt is a chan of mini-golf establishments and is more of a "brand" of mini-golf than it is a different name for it. This is much like how a Kleenex is a facial tissue but not all facial tissues are Kleenex, even though they have come to be known as such. [[User:68.99.55.96|68.99.55.96]] 12:43, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

==I Was Just Wondering If...==
It seems to me like there are enough mentions of this phrase (I was just wondering if...) to constitute its own page
:Dear 75.30.148.60, I was just wondering if you're going to [[HRWiki:Standards#Be_bold.2C_but_know_when_not_to_be|do-sum-bow-dat]], or if you expect anyone to do it at all? [[User:68.124.65.8|68.124.65.8]] 17:21, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
::That phrase is very common in the real world. It's not notable enough for an article.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:49, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

== New Music? ==

Is it worth noting that this sbemail has a new track for the background music of the "sweet cuppin' cakes" universe? mostly irrelevant, but I love how atmospheric and ambient the music sounds. -The_Fifth_Grade
:I noticed it and thought it was awesome. I think it should be noted. If not here, then on the [[Sweet Puttin' Cakes]] page. Something like "The music in Sweet Puttin' Cakes is slightly diffrent than the music that plays in other Sweet Cuppin Cakes toons. There are a few more synth pad (or somethin') tracks, and the main melody is thinned out a little.(or somethin')"--[[User:Antisexy|Antisexy]] 05:29, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

== Fork of a Pork? ==

Coach Z's line, currently transcribed as "Fork of a Pork", doesn't sound like fork of a pork, in fact when slowed down and analysed, the first syllable is clearly "G" and not "F".
It sounds more like "Gorkafabork". I don't think it was supposed to be intelligible.
Slow it down and listen to it; you'll see what i mean

It sounds like goraforpork to me... [[User:CloneWarrior|CloneWarrior]] 18:56, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

:I hear "Pork '''up''' a fork". DUnno what it means, but... {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:57, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

::I don't think he's saying actual words, just standard Coach Z gibberish. I'm not sure what the best way to transcribe it would be, but I definitaly think it should not be real words. Fork of a pork just sounds dumb.--[[User:Antisexy|Antisexy]] 00:06, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

== Easter Eggs ==

Could we possibly add in more of an explanation for the score card easter eggs, or some pictures? [[User:CloneWarrior|CloneWarrior]] 18:47, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
:Or possibly some of those people who are good with tables and manipulation making a visual text version (like the things on [[Edgar]] and similar)? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:04, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

== Tap, tap ==

The sound effect of Keyboard Strong Bad tapping Strong Bad on the shoulder is from the same Casio VL-Tone keyboard that the demo music is from. Specifically, the VL-Tone had one programmable sound called "ASDR" (attack/sustain/decay/release) that could be edited by storing 8-digit numbers in the memory when the unit was in "calculator" mode. If no number was stored in the memory, the ASDR sound was a short "blip," which is heard here. I'm not sure if any part of this is intersting enough for the article, though! [[User:Wear a Bikini|Wear a Bikini]] 19:57, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

==Goof, or intentional?==

The fact that the holes in the whale's hole are gone in the easter egg might not be a goof, it might simply be the Sweet Cuppin' Cakes physics at work. Anyone agree?
:I say goof. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:08, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
::If anything's a goof, it's that the holes were there in the first place, not that they were gone in the Easter egg. That said, it's a bit of a stretch to think TBC would accidentally put something in rather than accidentally leave something out. [[User:Wear a Bikini|Wear a Bikini]] 20:25, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
::I think the holes are intentionally there the first time, because in the Easter Egg, Strong Bad is wondering where they went. Or, at least, I interpret it that way. Maybe a vote of some kind should be introduced.--[[User:69.70.248.73|69.70.248.73]] 22:15, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
:::I don't think it's nessicarily a goof or intentional. There could just be more than one drive-thru whale. The shape of the green IS diffrent in the easter egg.--[[User:Antisexy|Antisexy]] 00:51, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
::::I think there's a reasonable chance this was intentional, and if there's even a reasonable chance that something is intentional, then we are obligated to list it as a remark (or in the transcript) and not as a goof. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:42, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
Maybe someone stole the holes. Anything can happen in a universe with different laws of physics. {{User:Zoom/sig}} 23:53, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

== Style difference ==

If you look at the scene with both Strong Bad and Keyboard Strong Bad, Keyboard Strong Bad is still drawn in an older style compared to Strong Bad.

[[User:???|-???]] 23:09, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

:Yep, always has been. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:11, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

== Pour gravel on your stump please, ma'am ==

In this email, the drive-through whale says "Pour gravel on your stump please, ma'am," and the last time (in Drive-Through), he/it said: "Sever your leg please, sir." It seems as though the two are connected; after one severs one's leg, one is then asked to pour gravel on the stump. Worth a mention? -[[User:Almsfothepudgy|Almsfothepudgy]] 09:46, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

No.

Seems worth it to me. [[User:Catgirl|Catgirl]] 01:25, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Second -[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 22:35, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

== Everytime? ==

Not one word. Another of Strongbad's (heehee) various grammar mistakes. I'll leave it up to someone else to edit in. --[[User:4.244.36.170|4.244.36.170]] 14:49, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
:Good find! I just added it. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 15:01, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

== billion - u.s. vs. u.k. ==

Once again, something I've added was taken out 5 minutes later.

In the U.S., 109 is a billion. In the U.K., it's a thousand-million, and 1012 is a billion. The edit comment removing my addition said this is wrong. It is bloody well not.

If you're just going to erase everything that I add, why not just lock my account or something. It's not as if I am spamming or anything.

:Of course you aren't spamming and i don't think you are, but i also am pretty sure that this isn't true. If you can provide me with proof, then you can feel more than welcome to add it back in. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:27, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

:: According to [[Wikipedia:Long and short scales|Wikipedia]], the "long scale" - in which 109 is a milliard or thosand-million, and 1012 is a billion, is used in most non-English-speaking countries and has some residual use in the UK, but the "short scale", what we use in the states, is the standard even in the UK now. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:33, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

::: When one of those "residual uses" is the BBC's financial news, I'd say it's bloody significant. [[User:Nsayer|Nsayer]] 16:35, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

:::: Wikipedia says that BBC uses the short scale. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:39, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

::::: This is all beside the point. The question is whether the article would be improved by adding in the extra note. It currently reads, "1010 = 10,000,000,000, or 10 billion." Given that the numeral itself is listed and the fact that people in the U.K. are (or should be) used to interpreting "billion" as it applies in American contexts, then I see no real reason to list the other meaning when it doesn't really apply to the toon. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:51, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

:::::: The change made by Nsayer wasn't worded the best. The whole US vs. UK thing is a bit hostile, but if there is a significant number of people who use long scale, what could it hurt to just tack "(or 10 thousand-million in [[Wikipedia:Long and short scales|long scale]])" at the end? Or maybe just remove the word billion altogether.--[[User:Antisexy|Antisexy]] 23:57, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
:::::::I feel "billion" used in an American cartoon would naturally be interpreted in the American method. If someone sees a conflict between 1,000,000,000 and "billion" then they are obviously using the old method. Perhaps "1010 = 10,000,000,000, or 10 [[Wikipedia:Billion|billion]]." {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:39, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

==What are we, in the 50s?!==
Do we really need to say Homestar holds up a brassiere? Nobody's said that since 1956! Can't we just say bra? Jeez.-[[User:Lappy z|Lappy z]] 21:50, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
:Dude, it's the technical term. Bra is just an abbreviation. The wiki is just trying to be more, you know, proper. No big deal. And on a side note, people ''do'' still say the whole word sometimes. [[User:Hagurumon|Hagurumon]] 21:59, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

==Zany Golf==
This sbemail is strongly reminiscent of a 1980's computer game called Zany Golf. It was an isometric miniature golf game featuring bizzare and surreal imagery and music. All of the holes were enormous, heavily detailed "islands" floating in a featureless, black void. I wouldn't bother considering it a reference, except for the fact that when Coach Z is playing the infinite hole (on a floating island!), the SCC music is mixed with an eerie, synthetic ''vox humana'' sound that was a major component of most of the Zany Golf music. Could this be a reference? [[User:Wear a Bikini|Wear a Bikini]] 00:54, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

==Hell-la-la-la-la-looooo Strong Bad!==
The way Strong Bad pronounces "Helllooooooo" appears to be a clear inside reference to the 2nd part of [[retirement]], where he adds "Lalalalalaa" to the end of everything he says, lalalalalaa. But I thought I'd float the idea here before adding it as an Inside Reference, and updating retirement with a Fast Forward. [[User:Catgirl|Catgirl]] 01:45, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
:It did occur to me, and it was on the page, but it was later removed. I'm on the fence; it could be a coincidence, just SB mocking the extra "L" in the word, or it could be partially an intentional ref. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:53, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
::''Partially'' an intentional ref? He's just making fun of the spelling. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:27, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
:::Usually when Strong Bad mocks spellings, he takes a very literal approach to it. This deviates markedly from the written phrase, and is made in a very theatrical (read: side-show-caller-esque) fashion. Had he not inserted some extra L's and not made such a production out of it, then I wouldn't even think of adding it as an inside ref.[[User:Catgirl|Catgirl]] 05:09, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
::::Yeah! What she said!--[[User:Antisexy|Antisexy]] 05:11, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
:::Well, intentional or not, it does sound just like what he says in retirement. It seems like the obvious way to make fun of the extra L would be to just hold the L sound longer. It doesn't make a lot of sense for him to make fun by saying "la-la-la-la-la." (Not that sense ever needs to be made.)--[[User:Antisexy|Antisexy]] 05:10, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
::::Okay, first of all, it doesn't sound like retirement. Retirement has a "la" sound whereas this has a "luh" sound. And the last time I checked, there weren't three ''l'''s in "hello". I don't think any way to make fun of it is more obvious than any other. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:13, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
:::::It doesn't sound EXACTLY like in retirement, but close enough to make people say "Hey! That was like what he did in retirement!" And like Catgirl said, usually Strong Bad makes fun of spelling by pronouncing it as written. It would seem he had something else in mind here, and retirement is the only thing I can think of.--[[User:Antisexy|Antisexy]] 05:20, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
::::::What do you mean, exactly as written? That's what he ''does'' do here. He pronounces extra l's and a really long o, just like it was sent to him. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:29, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Well it's hard to explain by typing, but normally when you see "LLL" you say "LLL" (the normal L sound in hello, just held out three times as long). It would have had to been spelled "Helalalaloooo" for him to pronounce as written the way he did.--[[User:Antisexy|Antisexy]] 05:34, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
::::::::I think you're being overly literal there. TBC probably saw the extra letters and just took it in a bit of a [[1 step ahead|different direction]], as they often do. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:46, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
:::::::::I guess it's another example of me vs. [[User:Antisexy#What I hate about H*R Wiki|strictly encyclopedic]]. One of these days, I'ma get my shot to [[Cool Things|stick it to the man]].--[[User:Antisexy|Antisexy]] 05:57, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
:Dot com: I think you misread what I typed. I said I was not ''sure'' if it was partially an intentional reference or not - of '''course''' he was making fun of the spelling. That said, he DID throw a few more Ls than the three that the emailer put in. "Hellalaloooooo" would have been accurate(ish) and not sounded like his [[retirement]] calling. I don't think it's certain, but it feels like you just came to the conclusion that it's not and won't read the rest. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:14, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
::I was just commenting on the wording. I'm assuming you mean that it's partially a reference and partially a new joke, not partially intentional and partially accidental, because something like this is typically either intentional or it's not. After listening to both clips back to back, my contention is that they're really not that similar. Yes, one is reminiscent of the other, kinda sorta. Yes, SB says more luhs than there are l's, but he is often prone to exaggeration. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:34, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
:::Okay, I can see that argument. I meant partially an intentional reference, in that it would be, if it's the case, half a joke on the misspelling. Sorry for any misunderstanding. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:14, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

== Worms chasing each other -- Teen Titans reference? ==
The scene with the two worms chasing each other is very similar to a scene in the episode "Titan Rising" from season two of the animated series Teen Titans, in which three giant robotic worms attach lengthwise to each other and spin in the same fashion over Titans Tower. So similar, in fact, that I find it unlikely it's just a coincidence. Before I go add it to the Outside References section, though, does anyone else think this is worth mentioning?--[[User:ChurchPunk|ChurchPunk]] 3:13 AM, August 16, 2007 (EST)
:Being quite a fan of ''Teen Titans'' in general, and season 2 especially, I don't think so. I don't really see the resemblance.
:For anyone curious, [http://teentitans.toonzone.net/tt/reviews/titanrising/12.jpg here is a picture of the robo-worm individually], and [http://teentitans.toonzone.net/tt/reviews/titanrising/22.jpg here they are circling]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 08:10, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

: Regardless of the picture, I would say that the worms from TT and The Worm biting it's own tail are both references to Ouroboros, which is already covered in the article. It would be like adding the fact that "a snake biting its tail from the other side" is a line from "I Palindrome I" by They Might Be Giants.

== Teleportation ==

When Strong Bad and The Cheat are trying to teleport back out of Sweet Puttin' Cakes, they scrunch up their faces in expressions of concentration. To me this appears exactly like [[:en:Hiro Nakamura|Hiro Nakamura]] from [[:en:Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]] when he is teleporting. However, this may just be because I've been on a Heroes binge this week, so I thought I'd see if anyone else thought the same thing, and whether it's worth mentioning in the Fun Facts. Comments?

== Makin' it Rain ==

Just thinkin' that Pom Pom's animation reminds me of the practice of "Makin' it rain" as frequently seen in rap music videos. This is especially topical, as Adam "Pacman" Jones, cornerback for the Tennessee Titans, was seen doing this very act in a strip club, and it lead to a shooting that left a bouncer paralyzed, and Jones suspended for a year from the NFL. -Telamon

== Canibus reference? ==

Rapper Canibus recently launched the Poet Laureate Infinity (www.poetlaureateinfinity.com) site, allowing people to mix the vocals and beats from one of his new songs. Very similar to this toon. Coincidence, or not?
:Coincidence. A lot of people do that. [[User:Hagurumon|Hagurumon]] 23:52, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

== Big Fun ==
Did anyone else think that the MixMasta800 was a lot more fun than it a simple SFX mini-game should have been? Also(on a completely unrelated subject) this hasn't been added to the "TV Time Toons Menu" yet (I would link, but why bother? All of us know it). Does it(this short) link from the main page?

Good to know. Now to ponder if it is a goof worthy of addition to da page...or just the fact they are probably working on a long toon and didn't remember to add it. Maybe the new sbemail even. Anyway, I'm still wondering about the funitude of the MixMasta. [[User:Stinkoblade|Stinkoblade]] 01:12, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
:"Funitude" is usually a great topic for the Forum rather than the Talk page, which is generally reserved for discussing the article about the toon rather than the toon itself. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 07:55, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

== BPM ==

I dunno if this is worthy of inclusion in the article or not, but just by recording the samples and looking for the loop points, it looks like most of the samples are in the area of 9.164 seconds long. Taking each of Homestar's one twos as a beat, that's 16 beats per sample. So 104.757 BPM, for all of waiting to do a techno remix. [[User:Nynexman4464|Nynexman4464]] 01:31, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it is slightly different, it sounds as if the basketball is being bounced a little further away -[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 05:06, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

:That's possible. Although, if you noticed, they're all looping. So there's a looping artifact in some of them. eg. Homestar says "One" differently than the other times, Marzipan has a short noticeable pause between riffs. The others might contain something similar but unnoticeable. I noticed that all three of these occur at the same time so I'm pretty sure that's what's happening. {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 03:09, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

== Homsar Hat Screensaver ==

Does the motion of Homsar's hat recall the "Flying Objects" screensaver for Windows to anyone else?
- {{User:ReverendTed/sig}} 05:11, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

:Not really. Homsar's hat randomly flies around the area most of the time. -[[User:Itama|Itama]] 05:33, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
::I don't think it's that random, though - it lifts off his head and then heads diagonally to the corner, where it bounces against the edges of the screen at 90-degree angles (except for the last one which is a bit more obtuse), like the objects in the aforementioned screensaver. - {{User:ReverendTed/sig}} 06:01, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

::::I'd say it's a stretch. While the actual movement of Homsar's hat wasn't random, the fact that it was reflecting off the walls was. His hat does stuff like that all the time. Plus those "zipping through space" screensavers tend to have objects flying past the viewer, rather than reflecting around. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 18:19, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
:::::That's why he described the background as "another popular screensaver", a connection I hadn't immediately noticed.

The fact that the toon is listed on the main page only and not the toon page should be removed, IMO, because that's true of every new toon that's released for about a week...unless listing this fact and then taking it down later is the common policy and I'm not aware of it.

I'm sure that when I first watched the toon, SB made the sound of tapping the monitor, because I immediately thought of it as a fourth-wall joke. I just watched it again and the sound has changed so it sounds like he's tapping a mic, but the way his hand moves, it looks like he's tapping the monitor.

I must admit that at first I thought it was the shower door or something, but I'm pretty sure it was meant to be the brush we was tapping, because you can kinda see how he would be singing into the 'microphone'. Homsar Solo was my favorite part! -[[User: Sb100]]

:To address the fist-moving-left-to-right-not-forward-and-back issue, I think it makes perfect sense that his fist would appear to move like that if he's moving depthwise instead of lengthwise. It's just in the foreground! --{{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 23:06, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

He's very clearly tapping on the shower door / fourth wall. This also fits with him saying "need to get the '''acoustics checked in here'''". Acoustics refers to the way sound bounces around in a space, usually an enclosed space like a room. "In here" also refers to a closed space. He is clearly tapping on the door or fourth wall. If other people disagree, I think this should be put to a vote. -- Sam

:I disagree. Just because he's referring to a closed space (the shower) doesn't mean that his tapping is against the shower door. One does not necessarily lead logically to the other. He's using a brush as a microphone, and the sound that's made when he taps is the typical sound a microphone makes when tapped. In addition, he immediately asks, "Is this thing broken?" right after tapping. That says to me that it makes more logical sense for him to be tapping on the brush rather than the door. It's also more in line with his overall character. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 19:36, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
::I know I'm late to the party here, so I'll just reiterate what others have already said: Several people have referred to a shower door. I don't see a shower door anywhere. There's a shower ''curtain'', but it's pulled back.

:''When Carol is being played, all 6 strings are seen vibrating, but only one tone is produced.

:Actually, all the strings could be sympathetically vibrating along, and even the part of the string between Marzipan's "finger" and the nut could sympathetically vibrate.

== Clarification (comment on the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:No personal attacks|content]]) ==

Originally, the toon and the game were ''separate'' Flash files - they were '''''never''''' put together in one single file. The toon originally probably had the game embedded in it - there was no page redirect. This rant is done. --[[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 22:41, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
:Where is a rant? And why are you lecturing us in the thread heading? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:56, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

::Furthermore, what are you saying here? Your statement contradicts itself. The statement "The toon and the game were ''separate'' Flash files" and "The toon originally probably had the game embedded in it" seem to contradict each other. I realize it's possible to embed one file in another, but for all intents and purposes, that makes the "game" part of the same file as the toon. The important point from the original fact (which I'm going to put back) is that the MixMastah appeared at the end of the toon in the same Flash file as the toon itself, rather than redirecting to another file like it does now. The technical details of having two separate files providing the resources is, in fact, irrelevant because of the original presentation.

::And, as It's dot com mentioned, what's with the link to a Wikipedia policy? There weren't any personal attacks in this that I was aware of, and we're also not Wikipedia (although I'd like to think that HRWiki's and WP's policies share some common ground, based on common sense). :P {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:30, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

:::Yes, he's saying that the Mixmasta Flash file was loaded into the toon's Flash file. It's true, and in my opinion, it's an interesting fun fact.

:I can make any classical guitar sound like an electric guitar, using pickups and electronic wizardry. It's not even hard or expensive.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm one step ahead of you, Alex.

''{A book appears on-screen with a black-and-white picture of Strong Bad exploring a cave with a torch. The text reads:}''

<pre> CHOOSE YOUR OWN STRONG
BAD EMAIL ADVENTURE

Should Strong Bad really glue Strong Sad's hands to his face?!

If you choose YES turn to page 93

If you choose MAYBE turn to page 121

If you choose to TAKE IT IN A BIT OF A
DIFFERENT DIRECTION turn to page 146</pre>

=== Yes ===

''{Cut to Strong Sad standing on the Football Field with his hands glued to his face and a target labeled "Peg Me" painted on his chest.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Guys?! ''{Strong Sad is pelted with dodgeballs.}'' Owww! Oh! Ohw! Augh! Okay, you guys! ''{Another ball is tossed at him.}'' Augh! It's not funny. ''{Another ball is tossed at him.}'' Augh! I'm kinda... ''{Another ball is tossed at him.}'' Augh! ...unable to defend myself. ''{Another 2 balls are tossed at him}'' Oww! Oh! More so than usual. ''{Balls continue to pelt him.}''

''{[[The Paper]] comes down}''

=== Maybe ===

''{Cut to Strong Sad lying down on his bed, his hands glued to his face.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Augh! I'm blind! My prayers have finally been answered.

''{Strong Sad tries to move his hands.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh wait, my hands are just glued to my face. Oh well, I'll take that.

''{Cut to Strong Bad and The Cheat standing outside Strong Sad's room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, he likes it! Okay, go to plan B!

''{The Cheat salutes him and leaves. He brings back a bucket of red ants and takes it to Strong Sad's room.}''

''{The Paper comes down. One red ant crawls out of Strong Sad's room.}''

=== Take it in a bit of a different direction ===

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Though I decided to take it in a bit of a different direction.

''{Cut to Strong Sad standing on a green field with his hands glued to his butt. Homestar walks up to him.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, hohoh... Oh, hey, Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Er, Strong Sad. Why are you touching your buttocks? That's pretty weird.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I can't help it!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, that is ''really'' weird.

''{Homestar walks away and Bubs walks up.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, wait, you don't understand!

'''BUBS:''' Grabbing your butt? That's not very ladylike.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'm not a lady.

'''BUBS:''' Oh! Whatever.

''{Bubs walks away and Strong Bad walks up}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Augh, this is getting frustrating!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, Strong Sad. Fancy seeing you here! And uncontrollably grabbing your own butt, I see. Oh, don't let me get in the way. Carry on!

''{Strong Bad snickers and walks away. Coach Z walks past.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Please, come back!

'''COACH Z:''' 'Attaboy, Strong Sad.

''{Coach Z walks away}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey, where are you going? You have any solvent? Or Goof Off? Or Didi Seven? Somebody get my hands off my butt!

''{The Paper comes down}''

== Easter Eggs ==

*If you choose YES, after Strong Sad gets hit with dodgeballs, you can click the target on his belly to play the [[Peg Strong Sad]] game.
**There are four possibilities to hit Strong Sad:
***If you hit spacebar on the very right side of the screen, it hits the scoreboard.
***Close to the right side of Strong Sad's belly, the ball jumps to the upper right of the screen.
***If you hit the ball in the middle of the screen, it simply hits Strong Sad's belly and then drops.
***On the left, close to his belly, the ball jumps up, right into the basket.
**After scoring over 99 points, the scoreboard returns to 10 points.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*When this email was first released, the extra choices weren't available; instead it immediately progressed to the "different direction" bit (which is why it's the only choice that continues with Strong Bad still typing). The choices were added a few weeks later.
*This was, until "rock opera," the only e-mail to have an "again" option at the end, allowing for easier access to the un-selected choices.

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Everybody love this, everybody needs this, it's time for funny stuff. ''{reading, in a Teen Girl Squad voice}'' Dear strong bad, you are the coolest... ''{stops reading, clears throat}'' Oh! Excuse me.

''{reading}''

<pre>Dear strong bad,
you are the coolest, any way onto
buisness. i think that you should
make your own theme park.

crapfully crap,
Rafael FL.</pre>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "buisness" just as it's spelled, says "(sigh) Sincerely yours" instead of "crapfully crap," and "football league" instead of "FL"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, Rafi, being the distinguished buisnessman ''{continues with the misspelling/pronunciation used earlier}'' that I am, I've had a theme park in development for quite some time now. Almost as long as I've been growin' this mustache.

''{A 10,000x magnification of Strong Bad's upper lip appears, showing a growth of one hair.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Anyways, it'd be called

''{cut to view of a theme park by the Stop Sign and Cinder Block}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Strong Bad's Mount RIDESPLACE! USA

''{As this is said, the appropriate words flash on the screen above the view of the theme park.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And it will have more rides than you or your grandmother can handle.

''{As this is said, the words "More Rides Than You Or Your Grandmother Can Handle!*" appear along with a "*please do not bring your grandmother" disclaimer on the bottom.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Of course, our flagship rollercoaster would be

''{cut to view of the rollercoaster, which is perfectly circular and spins continually without stopping}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Bowels of Trogdor!! ''{pan out to see that The King of Town is riding the rollercoaster and screaming}'' Which would like whip you around and around until you either throw up or catch fire somehow. ''{The King of Town catches fire somehow}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad and The Cheat and the entrance to the ride. A Trogdor sign is there that says "Peasants must be as tall as my beefy arm to ride this ride." The Cheat is clearly not tall enough.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sorry little guy, I can't do nothing for you. ''{The Cheat puts on a top hat}'' Maybe you better head over to Sweet Cuppin' Cakes Land instead.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Makes a thoroughly disappointed noise}''

''{cut to Strong Sad standing on a stage}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And every hour, at the main stage, there'd be a performance of The Strong Sad Gets Decked Repeatedly Stunt Spook-tacular.

''{A banner lowers behind Strong Sad that says "The Strong Sad Gets Decked Repeatedly Stunt SPOOK-tacular!!" Strong Sad is wearing a witch's hat. Strong Mad comes from stage right to flying tackle Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' MAUHHH!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh!

''{Strong Sad climbs back up on the stage. Strong Mad comes from stage left this time to flying tackle Strong Sad again.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' MAUHHH!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh!

''{cut to Strong Bad behind a table with a layout of the theme park on it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' To make sure you don't have any money left when you leave, ''{the words "not to scale" appear with an arrow pointing at the layout}'' there'd be more games than you or your grandFATHER could handle.

''{cut to Bubs working the "Throw Game"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You know, the ones where you throw hoops or rings or baseballs at different stuff and try to win cheap generic stuffed animal versions of ten-year-old cartoons.

''{During this voice over, Pom Pom plays the "Throw Game" while Bubs looks on. Pom Pom successfully gets all three rings that he tosses around the "xtra cold one" bottle. Strong Bad's arm appears, holding up a cheap stuffed animal}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Like this Bubs with a horn.

'''BUBS:''' No, no, no. You gotta get those rings ''inside'' the bottle.

'''POM POM:''' ''{makes bubble noises}''

''{Pom Pom picks up a baseball and throws it at the bottle in frustration. Cut back to Strong Bad behind the layout of the park}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No theme park would be complete without a bunch of costumed mascots running around antic-ing... ''{scratches head}'' antique-ing... whatever.

''{Cut to view of an area behind some fencing. The King of Town still rides "The Bowels of Trogdor!!" in the distance.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You know, there'd be one of the Stop Sign,

''{Coach Z appears wearing a costume that has a cartoonish looking Stop Sign design}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' call him "Stoppy, Stoppy the sign" and then there'd be the tire...

''{Homestar appears wearing a costume that has a very cartoonish looking Tire design}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' call him "Poppy the tire"... And who could forget "General Tso's Chicken"

''{A carton of what could only be General Tso's Chicken falls from the sky. It has "Ryan S." written on the side. Homsar's feet appear beneath it.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Hey, Stoppy, is your suit chafing you like crazy?

'''COACH Z:''' Well, to tell ya da truth dere Poppy, I've always enjoyed a good chafe.

'''HOMSAR:''' AaAaAaAaA! It's time for tasteball.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh crap! It's tasteball already?

''{cut to Strong Bad back at the compy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But yeah, it's a pretty unrealistic vision. I'm gonna have to start robbing WAY more hot actresses if I ever hope to make that dream a reality. But for now, I'll settle for giving tours on The Strong Badian Riverquest Safariventure.

''{He gets up. Cut to Strong Bad standing in a box in Strongbadia. He holds some sort of microphone.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Strong Bad makes a microphone click noise and speaks in a theme-park tour-guide-styled monotone voice}'' Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen my name is Strong Bad and welcome to The Strong Badian Riverquest Safariventure. ''{Strong Bad makes a click noise again}''

''{Cut to wide view of Strong Bad standing in a box labeled "riverquest safariventure". Homestar sits in front of him in the box. To the left is a running hose. The water from the hose forms a puddle around the box.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{click}'' Please keep your arms legs and valuables inside the vehicle at all times and get ready to experience the fury of: The Strong Badian Riverboat Superfun... ride. ''{click}''

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. About 5 seconds later, it zooms in on Strong Bad and Homestar and the tour continues}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{click}'' And first up on our tour if you look to your right ''{Homestar looks to his right}'' experience the fury of: ''{cut to wider view}'' a big rock that is going to fall on uuuus. ''{An obviously fake rock pops up behind the fence, mounted on a stick.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Ooooh. ''{The rock goes back down behind the fence.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That was a close call, I hope everyone is okaaaay.

'''HOMESTAR:''' I'm not ok--

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up. ''{click}''

''{cut to closeup of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{click}'' And if you look up the river here comes another one of our tour guides his name is The Cheat ''{Cut to wide view again. The Cheat walks by in his own box, which is labeled "R.Q. 2".}'' everybody say "Hi, The Cheeeeat."

'''HOMESTAR:''' Hide and seek.

''{Some drum sounds can be heard}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{click}'' Oh what's that I hear is it the sound of island drums? Oh no it's headhunteeerrrs. ''{The cardboard cutout of a bear holding a shark, posing as a "headhunter," pops up from behind the fence.}'' ''{click}'' Everyone stay in the boat, I'll take care of thiiis. ''{click}''

''{Strong Bad pulls out a starting pistol, and turns his head away as he fires up into the air twice. The cutout goes back down behind the fence.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{click}'' Looks like we scared those headhunters. Let's hope they don't come baaack. ''{click}''

''{cut to closeup of Strong Bad again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{click}'' Well folks we've made it back safely did everyone have a good time?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Not really.

''{Strong Bad continues to talk while Homestar answers.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Goooood. Please leave your valuables under your seat and exit to your riiiight. ''{click}''

''{cut to wide view again}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Strong Bad, I gotta level with ya. That might have been the worst three thousand dollars I ever spent.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down again. After another pause, Strong Bad speaks again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{click}'' Don't forget to experience the fury of: our gift shooop. ''{click}''

== Easter Eggs ==

* Click on "buisness" after Strong Bad says it in the first part of the email to see a picture of The Ugly One and Cheerleader.
** Cheerleader looks angry and is wearing a dress that says, "kiss boys". She has a speech bubble that reads, "the ugly one, why you always gotta be all up in my bweez-NASS?" The Ugly One looks sad.

* Click on "Rafi" to see a mock NFL patch.

* Click on "Mount" in "Mount Ridesplace USA" after Strong Bad says "USA" to see [[Monkey D]]'s season pass.
<pre>Strong Bad's Mount Ridesplace USA
Season Pass
Name: Monkey D
Has: Fun
Valid thru 9/04
(signed) Monkey D</pre>

* Click on the next to last Bubs doll on the lower row, left side in the "Throw Game" stand to see a real Bubs plushie thingie.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The paper on Strong Bad's desk is labeled "plans for stuff".
*The box in the throw game appears to be labeled "BOX FOR THROW GAME", in all capital letters.

===Remarks===
*Roller coasters don't usually have circular loops on them like the Bowels of Trogdor, because the G-forces involved, indeed, usually cause people to pass out. No one usually catches fire, though.
*Strong Bad pushes his thumb far out of his boxing glove when he sends the Cheat to Sweet Cuppin' Cakes land. This wouldn't usually be possible with a real boxing glove.

===Goofs===
*When Pom Pom hits the bottle with the ball, a crashing sound is heard yet it doesn't break.
*At the end of the SBRQSV, look for the [[Stop Sign|stop sign]]. It's not there! It disappeared sometime between the pause the first time the paper came down, and the fake boulder.

===Glitches===
*When the SBRQSV is over, the water stops flowing from the hose.

===Inside References===
*The "headhunter" is the bear holding a shark cardboard figure from [[date]].
*Pom Pom throws rings around an "Xtra Cold One", first seen in [[Cheat Commandos Commercial]].
*The music played during Strong Sad's "Stunt Spooktacular" is the same music that was used in [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]].

===Real-World References===
*The Strong Badian Riverquest Safariventure is a parody of [http://disneyland.disney.go.com/disneyland/en_US/parks/attractions/detail?name=JungleCruiseAttractionPage Disneyland's Jungle Cruise] ride. Strong Bad does not breathe or show any expression and this monotone delivery is reminiscent of Jungle Cruise tour guides who give the same tour over and over again. The shooting of a warning shot (in this case a flare gun) to scare off the [[Bear-Shark | bear and shark]] "headhunters" is directly from the tour guide script. Most of Strong Bad's speech correlates to the tour.
*Strong Bad's reading of the name as 'Rafi' might be an obscure reference to a Canadian children's entertainer, [http://www.raffinews.com/ Raffi].
*The Bowels of Trogdor might be a reference to the now obsolete ride, Fireball, at Morey's Piers in Wildwood, NJ.
*Poppy the Tire looks very similar to [http://www.bcdb.com/bcdb/cartoon.cgi?film=14550&m=s Peter Puck] a cartoon hockey puck from a 1973 Hanna-Barbera Cartoon.
