==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rapping}'' Step 1: You check an email down. Step 2: You tell some kid he's a dork.

<blockquote class="lappy email"><div>subject: hygiene movie</div>
Dear Strongbad, 
In 5th grade I have to watch a lame hygiene movie. I was thinking you could make a better movie about hygiene than the cruddy school version. 
Your friend, 
John Katulla
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "Katulla" as "Katulalalalala"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Fifth grade boys?!?!! Man, what happened to the hot college girls that used to email me? You ladies stop your be-pantied pillowfighting and drop me a line!

''{clears screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I suppose I could make a cruddy hygiene movie for you, John. But wouldn't it be so much more satisfying to make a cruddy hygiene movie ''about'' you?

''{Cut through static to a blue background. Disco music plays. Yellow letters saying "Embarrassing Educational Films" fly into frame, leaving colorful after-images behind them. Afterwards, the "E", "E", and "F" in the title light up and the word "Presents" appears below them. Cut to another blue background with the yellow text "LESSON 1: SAY 'HI' TO HYGIENE". Cut to a yellow background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meet John!

''{The Text "john" appears and Homestar Runner as John pops up looking very dirty and unkempt}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' John is a cruddy 5th grader. Hi, John!

''{The Text "hi" appears over the text "john".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER AS JOHN:''' ''{voice breaking}'' I'm a latchkey champion!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meet Gene!

''{The text "gene" appears. Strong Bad as Gene slides in. He has stylish blonde hair and a pink shirt.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene is a beacon of light—

''{The camera zooms out to show Gene in a lighthouse with the lighthouse shining. The lighthouse grows smaller and appears in a stink cloud made by John.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —shining through the stink cloud generated by John. Hi, Gene!

''{The Text "hi" appears over the text "gene"}''

'''STRONG BAD AS GENE:''' TGIG, y'all - Thank God I'm Gene!

''{Cut to Gene standing next to Strong Mad, Coach Z, Bubs, and Pom Pom, who all have the same hairstyle as him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene is popular and doesn't get good grades.

''{Shows a Fridgin'-A brand refrigerator with a piece paper reading "G-, but sooo charming". Cuts to a closeup of John}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' John has no friends—

''{Zoom out to show John sitting in a desk surrounded by two empty desks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and sits in the front row.

''{Cut to John and Gene standing on opposite sides of the screen. The side John stands on is light brown box, while the one Gene stands in is light blue.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is John missing that Gene has? ...Besides rich parents.

''{Three bags of money drop in front of Gene.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right, hygiene!

''{The word "HYGIENE" appears. Cut to a closeup of Gene.}''

'''GENE:''' Hi, gals!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hygiene—

''{A dictionary pops up. A note is taped over the definition of hygiene, reading the following.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —is defined as "how close people are willing to stand next to you".

''{Cut to a closeup of John's chest, with his star bent.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' John wears shabby clothes that smell like chocolate milk—

''{A chocolate milk carton with a thermometer in its mouth and squinted eyes fades in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —with a stomach virus.

''{John blows his nose on his star, and puts it back on. It has mucus on it, and slides downwards somewhat. Cut to Gene in front of the "Big Ol' Mall"; two bags fall in next to him, reading "styles upon styles".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene's mom buys all of his clothes, but she is young and hot enough for that to be okay.

''{An exaggerated feminine hand with a ring emerges from the left. The hand is holding some keys.}''

'''GENE'S MOM:''' ''{voice}'' Mommy's got a grown-up headache, Gene. Why don't you take the boat out for a while?

''{Gene eagerly reaches for the keys. Cuts to a bathroom and John walks in. He briefly holds up a washcloth and a bar of soap before dropping them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Every morning, John wakes up and forgets to wash his stupid, ''{zoom in on John's face with each word}'' dumb, stinking, ''{yelling}'' fat, smelly, ''{John looks surprised}'' stupid, du—

''{The screen displays static, then cuts to a closeup of Gene's face, radiating energy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Every morning, the radiant energy from Gene's face—

''{Gene attaches two electric cables his cheeks, connecting them to a red lightbulb on a pad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —powers a small lightbulb.

''{The lightbulb makes a buzzer noise and lights up. Cut to a closeup of John's face.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' John's mouth is an ecological trainwreck—

''{John opens his mouth, which has a spider web in it. A green stink cloud emerges fromit, and black liquid drips from his upper lip.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and has a nest of rare South American moths living inside it.

''{John burps, and a moth flies out.}''

'''JOHN:''' Now you be back before din-din, Chauncey.

''{Cut to Gene's face. His mouth is shining.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene's mouth is a national park—

''{A sign pops up, depicting a smile, two trees, two mountains, and the words "Gene's Clean Mouth National Park". It also has Gene's hair on the top.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and his saliva is sold—

''{Gene spits onto an outline of South America; the saliva transforms into a bottle that read "El Gene's Spit".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —in South America as a wonder drug.

''{Cut to John's room. John is sitting on his bed. There are milkshakes, french fries and bowls of cereal scattered about the room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' John leaves food out all over his room, and a family of squatters have taken up residence in a nearby laundry cave.

''{Pan to The Sad Kids standing in front a pile of laundry in the shape of a cave. Cut to Gene's room; a pennant reading "A sport!" and a wardrobe are visible.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene's room has a sixteen car pile-up of racecar beds—

''{Zoom out to show sixteen racecar beds stacked on top of each other. 5 special effects artists with "THX" on their chests and 5 maids appear above the pile over the next line.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and a family of 10 maids and special effect artists keep it realistically smoldering and burning.

''{The pile of race car beds appears to be set on fire.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, they also live in a nearby cave.

''{Cut to the five maids and five special effects artists standing in front of a cave, waving. Cut to a tube and two jars of cream, powder, and paste.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What can John do to change his hygiene?

''{Cuts to John holding the tube and two jars; he drops them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nothing at this point. ''{John looks shocked}'' By fifth grade, the damage is already done—

''{a pie chart with the heading "What 5th Graders Remember You For" appears. "Your Stink" is the biggest section, "Your Stonk" second biggest, and "Hot Mom", "Video Games", and "Cool Headband" follow.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and everyone will remember him as a smelly loser no matter what he does.

''{Cuts back to John. Two pennants appear reading "Out-of-State U!" and "Go Non-Residents!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' He'll probably have to wait and go to an out-of-state college, where he can reinvent himself.

''{John fades into a more typical-looking Homestar, with a small beard and a college shirt reading "OoSU Non-Residents".}''

'''JOHN:''' Hooray!

''{Cuts to Gene}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene, on the other hand, better keep up the status quo. ''{A giant hand appears and starts poking him}'' If he slips up the slightest bit, and gets lice—

''{Zoom in on Gene's hair; lice are jumping up and down on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —or has an ''accident'' at school—

''{Gene covers his pants with his hands. Cut back to the teenaged Strong Mad, Coach Z, Bubs, and Pom Pom, all with angry eyebrows. The camera slowly zooms in as the background turns red and the music becomes menacing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —those fifth graders will just descend on him like a ravenous ''{Cuts to Gene, looking nervous}'' pack of hygiene wolves. And tear him to shreds.

'''GENE:''' Hooray...? ''{gulps}''

''{Cut to Gene standing next to the words "bye gene".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bye, Gene!

''{Cuts back to the blue background. Disco music plays again. Yellow letters saying "Embarrassing Educational Films" fly into frame, leaving colorful after-images behind them. Afterwards, the "E", "E", and "F" in the title light up and the word "Presents" appears below them. Cut to another blue background with the yellow text "LESSON 2: PANTS PROBLEMS". Cut through static back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Okay John, all done. I hope your classmates like my video. And don't worry, in 8 or 9 years you can just hide behind your new identity as a raver, a greaser, or a whatever ancient Egyptian teenagers called themselves. Now get outta here! None of the college hotties'll show up if you're hanging around, Mothmouth.

''{[[New Paper]] comes down, showing alternating colors below the words "Calibration test". "Click here to email Strong Bad" is nowhere to be seen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, New Paper, you keep sucking just enough to stay interesting.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*A [[Wikipedia:Color calibration|calibration test]] is a test performed on many color printers to help the user adjust the colors it produces, and aid alignment of the heads of ink or toner cartridges.
*[[Wikipedia:tweeters|Tweeters]] are speakers designed to produce high-pitched frequencies.
*A raver is a person who goes to [[Wikipedia:rave|raves]], all night parties which often feature illegal drugs. These parties and the music associated with them peaked primarily in Europe in the early 1990s.
*[[Wikipedia:greaser (subculture)|Greasers]] were a subculture that originated in the 1950s and saw a revival in the 1970s. Their distinguishing characteristics were jeans, leather jackets and slicked back hair.
*Gene was [[Wikipedia:Upturned collar|popping his collar]], a popular trend among the [[Wikipedia:Preppy|preppy]] social classes in the mid-1980s and early 2000s.
*John's line "I'm a latchkey champion" refers to [[Wikipedia:Latchkey kid|latchkey kids]], a term applied to children that are often left alone in the house.
*TGIG, or "Thank God I'm Gene", comes from the acronym [[Wikipedia:TGIF|TGIF]], or "Thank God It's Friday".
*When Gene's mom mentions a "grown-up headache", she is most likely referring to a [[alcohol|hangover]].

===Trivia===
*The printed definition of ''hygiene'' obscured beneath the handwritten one is: "Conditions and practices that serve to promote or preserve health", which is the [[AHD:61/21/H0352100.html|second definition]] listed in the [[Wikipedia:The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language|American Heritage Dictionary]].
*Most of the time during the hygiene video, Strong Bad as Gene is seen [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiling]], as well as 5th grade [[Strong Mad Smiling|Strong Mad]].
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad and Embarrassing Educational Films present a movie on hygiene for some 5th grader."

===Remarks===
*At the end, the New Paper prints out a calibration test resembling that from older [[wikipedia:HP DeskJet|HP DeskJet]] printers. However, you can still click on the lines to email Strong Bad.
*Coach Z has been seen taking a shower before in the second deleted scene of [[In Search of the Yello Dello]], making reference to "showering up" in the email [[flashback]] (which [[History According to Strong Bad|may or may not]] have actually happened), is later seen taking a shower in [[Jibblies 2]], and having the [[record book|world record]] for "longest time without shower" (implying that he has showered before).
** Coach Z also claimed to be "lookin' out for all yer hygienes" in [[senior prom]] when adding Listerine to the punch, so he is familiar with hygiene.
*The floppy disk Strong Bad put in the New Paper in [[concert|the previous email]] is no longer there.
*When John blows his nose on his star, his tongue is visible.
*During the week of this email's release, there was both a "new strong bad email" [[Main Page Message]] for this email and a "strong bad email" Message for the one that preceeded it.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Quack..PNG|thumb|cut'd!]]
*When John's hat is backward, part of the bottom of the bill is cut off.
*When John looks in the mirror, his reflection blinks a split second after his counterpart.
*When the camera zooms in on Gene when all the fifth graders descend upon him, Gene's hairdo sinks behind his head slightly.

===Inside References===
*The way Strong Bad pronounces John Katulla's name is a reference to [[retirement]].
*The cat seen in the Easter egg is Mabel, [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] and [[Jackie Chapman|Jackie]]'s pet, who was previously seen in [[website]].
*John's room is littered with bowls of crispy puffed-rice cereal, last seen in [[candy product]].
**Also in John's room, there are baskets of [[French Fries|fries]] and a [[Minor Drinks#meltshake|Melt Shake]].
*Gene's shopping bags are marked [[Styles Upon Styles]].
*Coach Z uses Homestar's [[TeeBee]] to watch the film.
*A bug previously took residence in Homestar Runner's mouth in [[Bug In Mouth Disease]].
*"Stonk" was a word originally heard in the [[Quote of the Week]] of [[Quote of the Week#QW-2006-12-07|December 7, 2006]].
*John's laundry cave uses the same sweatshirt designs as Homestar's Swe atshirt Float from [[Fall Float Parade]].
*Race-car beds were previously mentioned in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 10.2]] and [[secret identity]].
*Gene's grade of G- is a reference to [[g|the letter G]].
*This contains another mention of [[pants]], [[underwear]], and [[showering]].
*New Paper performed a calibration test because it was running out of ink, as stated in [[mini-golf]].
*By making a film ''about'' John (rather than ''for'' him) Strong Bad [[Emails Taken in a Different Direction|takes this Email in a different direction]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:THX|THX]] is a set of high-end criteria for audio reproduction - predominantly used in movies. It is a trademark of [[Wikipedia:Lucasfilm|Lucasfilm]].
*The video parodies a style of educational film known as [[Wikipedia:Highlights for Children#Goofus & Gallant|Goofus & Gallant]], where two characters are used to contrast good and bad social behavior accompanied by heavy handed narration. This style of film was most commonly used in the 1950s and 1960s.
*The Strong Badman Easter egg is an homage to the cover of [[Wikipedia:Uncanny X-Men|Uncanny X-Men]] [http://www.marveldatabase.com/Uncanny_X-Men_28 #28].
*The Styles Upon Styles bags are based on the department store [[Wikipedia:Bloomingdale's|Bloomingdale's]] shopping bags, which they call "brown bags".

===Fast Forward===
*In [[pizza joint]], Strong Bad makes an ecstatic reply when he receives an email from "a typical college girl".

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

'''MATT:''' Mike, do you remember where we wrote much of this email?

'''MIKE:''' Uuuhhh... ''{long pause}'' no?

'''MATT:''' ''{immediately}'' On a plane... Mike! On a plane coming back from, ''San Francisco''!

'''MIKE:''' ''{confused}'' Really?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, you... had some—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Oooooh, yeah.

'''MATT:''' —already downloaded Strong Bad Emails, and you just started pokin' around, and you found this one about hygiene. And, uh...

'''MIKE:''' ''{interrupting}'' That was back when my battery life was maybe like, fifteen or twenty minutes?

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

'''MIKE:''' ''{interrupting}'' For the past three months, it's been ''zero'', literally, if I unplug it for ''one second'' it's dead. I just ordered a new battery the other day.

'''MATT:''' ''{somewhat faintly}'' Good job.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' But I think that— I have— there's a drawing of, uhh, Homestar as... as John. ''{Mike overlaps, saying "Oh" somewhat unemotionally.}'' Umm, with, the like, droopy star, and the, like, looking gross.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Right. Oh yeah, 'cause you also drew the, umm, most paced, and, uhh, ''{Matt chuckles}'' powders.

'''MATT:''' Haha, yeah. ''{Pause}'' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Oh,— "Oh, Powders!" I think that was a sketchbook of the week, anyway.

'''MATT:''' So that intro there, that's using, uh, those— those— we're actually ''staring'' right at them— a series of these wonderful, ''white'' cassette tapes of ''{Mike chuckles}'' sound effects and musical stings... that my parents got me waaay back when I first started, like, making movies, and I think my Dad was like, "Oh, Matt could use these to, you know, have— sit a boombox ''{Mike begins chuckling}'' next to the camera, and maybe have some machine gun sounds!"

'''MIKE:''' Haha!

''{In the email, the view of the refrigerator with Gene's grade on it was replaced with a shot of John.}''

'''MATT:''' Fridgin'-A. I was wond— ''{Mike laughs, saying "Fridgin'-A!"}'' what brand 'fridge that was. Fridgin'-''A''!

''{Pause. In the email, Gene had just waved to the camera, saying "Hi, gals!"}''

'''MATT:''' That is some good hair that Gene has, Mike.

''{Pause. In the email, Strong Bad finishes reading the taped-over definition of "hygiene". Both chuckle.}''

'''MIKE:''' Sorry, I'm mesmerized...

'''MATT:''' Yeah?

'''MIKE:''' I fell prey to just watching the email ''{Matt starts chuckling; Mike refrains from laughing}'' that I haven't seen in a year.

'''MATT:''' What about... the last time, that, Homestar had a droopy star? It's ''{chuckles, presumably for the at the bags of clothes in the email}'' probably that upside-down menu page! Where he's falling!

'''MIKE:''' Upside-down...? Oh, that's right.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' It's falling?

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' It's flapping in the wind. Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Did you see that? He bought all of his clothes at "Styles Upon Styles", ''{both chuckle while Matt finishes his sentence}'' Mike.

''{Pause. In the email, Strong Bad as he narrates the film begins throwing insults at John. Cut to Gene's face radiating white lines. One of The Brothers Chaps chuckles. Gene then puts alligator clips on his face.}''

'''MATT:''' Oh, look, he has one of those... ''{chuckles}'' uh, kits... that we used to have in discovery class!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, have we— what are those called?

'''MATT:''' ''{hesitantly; holding back laughter}'' Electronic... chemistry sets?

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' I remember them, 'cause they had different sizes. You could get 'em at RadioShack, and some of 'em were pretty small, and it would— be basically, like, "make a buzzer sound go off", or "light up a light".

'''MATT:''' Right.

'''MIKE:''' But then there was a... you know— bigger models, that you could, uh, maybe light up ''two'' lights!? ''{Matt begins to laugh}'' And make ''two'' buzzer— ''{stops himself; laughs}''

''{In the email, Strong Bad as the narrator tours John's room.}''

'''MATT:''' Uhhh, look, he's got some Melt Shakes. ''{chuckling}'' Nailed to his wall. ''{Mike chuckles; brief pause}'' The Reesy Cup Milkshakes?

'''MIKE:''' And that is, the, uh... sweater shirt—

'''MATT:''' ''{interrupting}'' Pile of sweatshirts?

'''MIKE:''' ''{chuckles}'' ''Swee-at''shirts ''{both refrain from chuckling}'' from the Fall Float Parade.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping; faintly}'' Yeah. ''{brief pause}'' Uh, I, actually—

'''MIKE:''' ''{interrupting}'' Did you know anybody with a race car bed?

'''MATT:''' Uhh, Ricky Schroder.

'''MIKE:''' ''{chuckles after a brief pause}'' Yeah. ''{unintelligible}''

'''MATT:''' Rick Stratton.

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

'''MATT:''' There you go!

''{In the email, the three hygiene-related containers and tube being zoomed in on.}''

'''ALL:''' ''{with impression}'' ''Oh, powders!''

'''MATT:''' Were those, were all— was I just drawing those or was I drawing those ''for'' this email?

'''MIKE:''' I assume you were drawin' 'em for this email, but I'm not sure... knowin' you!

'''MATT:''' ''{hesitantly}'' Yeah.

''{In the background, a very faint, prolonged, mid-pitched noise is heard. In the email, Strong Bad is discussing on how John must reinvent himself. John has just transformed into Homestar.}''

'''MIKE:''' There was this guy—

'''MATT:''' ''{interrupting; refraining from chuckling}'' Look, he's got a— Sh— Shaggy from Scooby Doo goatee.

'''MIKE:''' ''{continuing}'' There was a... um... ''{clicks his tongue, hesitant throughout}'' kid, at Georgia, freshman year, that was so clearly... just like, a... big nerd, in... high school and then got to Georgia and was just, like, ''{in a mocking tone; non-hesitantly}'' "I'm gonna change ''{Matt laughs}'' the person I am!"

'''MATT:''' Do you think he had had an "accident" at school?—

'''MIKE:''' ''{interrupting; clearly holding back laughter}'' He might have, yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' —''{unintelligible}'' at school and had to, uh...

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping; still holding back laughter}'' Yeah.

''{In the email, the film is showing title cards with music again.}''

'''MATT:''' Try and live it down?

'''MIKE:''' It was so obvious, —

'''MATT:''' ''{interrupting; said before the respective title card appears}'' "Lesson 2."

'''MATT:''' ''{slight pause}'' Speaking of living something down! ''{Mike chuckles}'' Pants problems are somethin' that you ''really'' gotta watch out for.

''{Pause.}''

'''MATT:''' Umm... —

''{Strong Bad mentions one of John's possible alternative identities: "raver"}''

'''MATT:''' — Ravers— Mike, what do— what do, uh, ravers used to be referred to themself a— err, ''selves'', ''as'', now?

'''MIKE:''' ''{bluntly}'' What? ''{begins to say something}''

'''MATT:''' Like, I don't know, just club... kids... ''{Mike begins to say something but is cut off}'' that wear the big elephant pants that have lots of straps and buttons on 'em?

'''MIKE:''' ''{beings to speak after Matt says "elephant pants"}'' Do they still exist? ''{brief pause}'' Is that what you're asking?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, and what do they call themselves?

''{Mike takes a breath. In the email, Strong Bad is talking to the New Paper.}''

'''MATT:''' Hurry!

'''MIKE:''' ''{brief pause}'' Ummm... raviers.

'''MATT:''' ''{faintly}'' Nice.

Cheerleader

2009-05-12T05:27:38Z

Bombcar: added date with CB

[[Image:tgs-cheer.PNG|thumb|right|220px|Cheer on, Cheerleader!]]
[[Image:Kiddie_Cheerleader.PNG|thumb|right|220px|Teeny Tiny Cheerleader (not really)]]
[[Image:Cheerleader_color.png|thumb|right|220px|Colorized Cheerleader!]]

==Biography==

'''Cheerleader''' is the de facto leader of the [[Teen Girl Squad]] whose "real" name is either Virginia, Joy, or Jennifer. She, like the others, represents a stereotype of a teenage girl; she obsesses about her appearance (specifically fashion) and focuses her energy on [[Cheerleader's Boys|dating older or more popular boys]].

Cheerleader aptly leads the Teen Girl Squad with her shrill and domineering manner. While the other girls usually follow her without question, they consider her leadership oppressive. After her demise shortly into [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 9]], the rest of the squad was overjoyed and cheered, "We're free! The tyranny is over!", as they were then able to follow their own pursuits, even though they were killed later in the issue and ended up as Cheerleader's servants once more, this time as ghosts.

Cheerleader's trademark is her dress, which sports a different saying in every episode. Most sayings indicate either her puerile nature ("li'l brat"), vanity ("2 cute"), or her never ending desire for boys ("boy monger"). Many of them contain phrases which are meant to have overtones of these traits, but are [[Deliberately Poor English|barely intelligible]] (such as "Baby Daddy"). She also has blonde hair, which she wears in pigtails.

Like the rest of the squad, Cheerleader often meets a gruesome or unexpected end. She does not always die, however: she was the sole surviving member in the [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1|first issue]] and was nearly the sole survivor of [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]], but was apparently eaten "off camera" by [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#A Shark|the shark]] at the end of the toon.

Despite her "boy mongering", Cheerleader has, as of yet, failed to successfully date anyone, with the exception of going to the Friday night dance with [[Eh! Steve!]] in [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]] and the [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 15|Pretty Prism Junior Prom]] with [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#Cheerleader Brian|Cheerleader Brian]]. When she tried to ask [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#Quarterman|Quarterman]] out in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 4]], she was promptly CEREBELLUM'D. In [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 5]], she was SAILING MISHAP'D after she yelled at the olda boys for correctly thinking she was the same age as [[So and So]]. The trend continues in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]], where her attempts to flirt with a trio of Scots only results in her being CABER-TOSS'D to her death. However, in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 12]], she goes on a mission to get "Valentimes Day" cards from as many different boys as she can and does, in fact, receive them, even if by force. She only values them for the "[[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#Mindy|Mindy]] cred", as she immediately dispenses of each boy after getting his card.

In issue 5, when she and So and So were trying to get the "Olda boys" to date them, So and So said they were in 8th grade. If this is accepted as accurate, she can be considered about 14 years old.

Cheerleader's mouth has a tendency to curl to impossible lengths. One such occasion was in Issue 10, upon hearing that [[The Ugly One]] was hosting a boy/girl party. This also happened when she was given a Valentimes Day card from [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#Patchbeard|Patchbeard]] in Issue 12, and in Issue 14 when she says 'boys'.

In [[4 Gregs]], when [[Sci-Fi Greg]] asks her if she should be out leading cheers at the football game, she responds "No, I'm more a cheerleader in the way I dress and in the way I treat other girls," suggesting she isn't actually on the cheerleading squad.

===Pre-K Version===

In contrast, her pre-K counterpart in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7|Teeny Tiny Girl Squad]] was the chubby, foodaholic "Fattycakes". She is seen eating a candy bar that was "dipped in salt".

''{cut back to Strong Bad and Strong Mad in the basement}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunno. Maybe he's just going to the ATM machine.

'''STRONG MAD:''' THAT'S REDUNDANT!

''{card comes down that reads "End" with "ATM machine = automatic teller machine machine" written underneath}''

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
* The phrase "ATM machine" is an example of [[Wikipedia:RAS syndrome|RAS syndrome]]. The "M" already stands for "machine".

=== Trivia ===
* This toon was released the evening of April 19, but the date on the main page reads April 20.

=== Inside References ===
*The Cheat is seen [[flying]] and [[The Cheat Smiling|smiling]] at the same time.
*The [[ATM]] is mentioned.
*The Cheat's animation advertises paunchberry [[ice cream]].
*The Cheat is in the choir with [[Cardboard Homestar]].
*The Ice cream containers read icèd cream, another instance of [[-èd]] pronunciation.
*Marzipan's choir books read "HIMS", a [[homophone]] for the more appropriate "Hymns".
*The Cheat steals Homestar's [[Melonade]].
*The Cheat light's the rim of the basketball hoop with the [[BMW lighter]].
*This short begins with an [[interrupted conversation]].
*A [[Limozeen]] flyer can be seen on the telephone pole.

===Real World References===
*The song is strongly reminiscent of "Little Birdie" from the [[Peanuts]] special, [[Wikipedia:A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving|''A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving'']].
**The erratic path and trailing dotted line when The Cheat flies off of the brick wall is reminiscent of Peanuts character Woodstock.

::Not to mention by referring to Coach Z, the Poopsmith and the KOT as "characters." -invisible_map

==Stick Costume==
Does anyone know what [[The Stick]] was supposed to be dressed as? For some random reason, I'm thinking Donald Duck. -[[User:141.133.145.118|141.133.145.118]] 00:19, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

== No Interactivity ==

Does anyone else believe this toon broke a tradition for h*r halloween specials? In 2001, they had that trick-or-treat game, in 2003, they had a brief scene making fun of the trick-or-treat game, and in 2005, they had a potion game. This would be the 1st h*r Halloween special out of the ones released in an odd-numbered year not to include interactivity other than the usual Easter Eggs.

:...Ummm, yeah. Odd numbered years. [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 03:43, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

== About the mirror ==

There have been mirrors like that before the release of the Man of the Year 2006 issue (I caught a glimpse of one in a movie when flipping channels). I think saying it is a reference to that exact issue is a bit of a stretch. [[User:207.119.175.50|207.119.175.50]] 00:34, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure the mirror is a reference to an actual mirror of that type, similar to the one featured in The Big Lebowski. (The Dude peers into this mirror in The Big Lebowski's office.) [http://www.popamericana.com/!/Man%20of%20the%20Year.jpg Link] The "You" cover is too big of a stretch, especially when one of Pom-Pom's previous costumes was Walter Sobchak. -{{User:ReverendTed/sig}} 01:40, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
:Big Lebowski - probably. Time magazine - no. It looks EXACTLY like the Big Lebowski mirror and NOTHING like the Time magazine cover. I remember you used to be able to buy those mirrors, a looong time ago. [[User:Stev0|Stev0]] 18:10, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
::Was Nikolai Volkoff ever on the cover of Time? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 02:09, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
:::No, but neither was The Dude. [[User:Stev0|Stev0]] 15:21, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Regardless of Lebowski or MOTY '06, it still refers to Time's Man of the Year practice, doesn't it? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 03:54, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
:That's true, but as written right now, that's already linked to. [[User:Stev0|Stev0]] 15:21, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

== Shower scene? ==

The following fact was STUFFed — let's see it can be resolved here first:
<blockquote>
Coach Z's shower scene is a reference to the famous shower scene in the horror movie Psycho.
</blockquote>
There was one vote and an argument against, from [[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]]: "I've seen the original Psycho and it's nothing alike it except they're in a shower." So, what do people think. Is this a reference or not, and why? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 01:17, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
:I think that the connection to Psycho is tenuous at best. Coach Z's scene did not feature several closeups of him being attacked, nor was there the trademark high pitched staccato strings. Those would be the strongest connections to the film. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 01:23, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
::I think that Coach Z's line before getting attacked is a reference, not the attack itself. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 01:28, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

:::Wbwolf, I think you're right — if it was a reference to ''Psycho'', they really would have used the trademark music. More likely, it's just a nod to the typical "shower scene" in horror movies (which originated with ''Psycho'', I think). So, mayhaps the fact could be modified to refer to the stereotypical scene, rather than this specific movie. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 01:29, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
:I'd say this is more generally a reference to the fact that horror film starlettes are so often caught by the bad guy while in the shower. This is perhaps a subclause of the convention that the token hot chick will always die during or immediately following her topless scene. That being said, I don't think this warrants an explanatory note. [[User:Telamon|-Telamon]] 01:59, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
::Hey. I'm the guy who originally posted this fact.

==Classic Nick==

There's a classic Nickelodeon theme going.

The Stick: Lowly Worm from Busy World of Richard Scarry: early Nick Jr.

Strong Bad: Beetlejuice, from a cartoon on Nick

Homestar: Artie, from Pete & Pete which was on Nick in the 80s and 90s

[[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 01:32, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
: Beetlejuice was not a cartoon that was exclusive to Nickelodeon, but ran on other outlets (including Cartoon Network) throughout the 1990s. I know Sesame Street is on Noggin, Nick/CTW's spin-off, but I don't think it was on Nick proper.

== Volkov ==

Someone wrote under "goofs" that "Volkoff" is a misspelling of "Volkov." This is incorrect. Russian uses the Cyrillic alphabet, and there are a number of different ways of transliterating it into ours. I've seen final "v"s and final "ff"s used interchangeably all over the place -- for instance, "Prokofiev" vs. "Prokofieff," "Rachmaninov" vs. "Rachmaninoff." The "v" is the preferred transliteration in academic/linguistic contexts, but in everday use, they're both pretty common. In fact, the Wikipedia article calls him "Volkoff." -invisible_map

: Oops, I watched the toon again, and TBC spell it "Volkov," so I must have misread the "goofs" section. Either way, though, they're both acceptable spellings.

:Transliteration from the Russian alphabet really isn't the issue though. If Strong Mad is meant to be the former WWE wrestler Nikolai Volkoff, the Brothers Chaps made a spelling mistake, since the name has always been Volkoff in English. - [[User:Boffo97|Boffo97]] 13:43, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

:: Traditional spellings of names from languages with different writing systems are sometimes changed to more accurately reflect the pronunciation. For instance, "Mao Tse-Tung" is usually spelled "Mao Zedong" now. Sometimes the old spelling is so well-known that change is slow to catch on -- for instance, people almost always write "Lao-Tzu" for the Daoist/Taoist philosopher, even though "Laozi" is the preferred spelling among people who study this stuff. Same thing with "Prokofiev" (which has totally displaced "Prokofieff" vs. "Rachmaninov" (which is still less common than "Rachmaninoff"). Here's my point: even if "Volkoff" is the traditional and more common spelling, "Volkov" is not *wrong*. In fact, it's probably closer to the way it actually sounds in Russian (though I'd want to ask a Russian-speaker to verify that). And "Nikolai Volkov" gets 11,000 hits on Google.

:::Yes, I know what transliteration is. The point is, despite its appearance, the name "Nikolai Volkoff", as relates to the former pro wrestler, was never in the Russian alphabet. It was devised in English. It was flashed on screen before every one of his matches. Therefore, *for this case*, "Nikolai Volkoff" is correct, and "Nikolai Volkov" is wrong. If we were dealing with a name devised in a non English alphabet we were transliterating, then what you were saying would be correct. We are not. - [[User:Boffo97|Boffo97]] 19:17, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

::::Re "I know what transliteration is": I'm sorry if you thought I was being patronizing. I wasn't trying to explain what transliteration was -- I was talking about how it changes historically, which you didn't seem to be taking into account. But I didn't realize that "Nikolai Volkoff" wasn't his real name until now. Since he totally made it up, you're right. Never mind!

I'm a Russian speaker, and I can tell you that the Russian "v" (or "в" in cyrillic) is often "de-voiced" -- that is, it sounds like an "f." However, it's still spelled the same in cyrillic. Therefore, although the "f" sound might be closer to the actual Russian pronunciation, for consistency's sake, I would normally spell it with a "v," since most English speakers probably will not know when or how to use the "de-voiced" spelling. However, a lot of Russian names are traditionally romanized with "ff" (such as Rachmaninoff) so it gets a bit confusing. Your best bet is to put down the most widely-used one.

On a similar note, I've put a more-correct definition and pronunciation of the word "русский" (roughly pronounced "rooski") on the section with the slang term for Russians ("Russkie").

I've heard creep-take ever since the first viewing. Now after focusing on it, I give creep-take my vote of confidence. I give creep-cake an understandable interpretation. Creep-s[t]ake doesn't cut it. Note: ''Get headphones!'' Props to 208.60.233.43 for mentioning that you listened to it with them, but I think your reasoning is flawed by saying Homestar has a lisp. I also think that your headphones or brain is putting to much emphasis on the white-noise feature created around the hard consonants T and K by the reduced sound quality. Perhaps try to "trick" your brain into thinking that it's "take" and see if you can hear it then. You can practice with the ''I think you're cute / I hate your shoes'' line in [[disconnected]]. I'm able to hear it both ways there, but I can't do it with take/stakes. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:29, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

== Reference to a web comic? ==

I removed the so-called reference "Pudonkis the Dromiceiomimus stands in the same pose as the Dromiceiomimus from Dinosaur Comics."

:The additional bit of information is that the particular strip I liked to has a H*R reference (namely [[Fhqwhgads]]).

== Horrible Rocoulm ==

I think there should be better seperation between the terms Rocoulm and Horrible Painting. It's a little confusing in the transcript because the image on the tarot card is just of Rocoulm sans canvas, and when Homestar steps inside the painting, he's not inside Rocoulm himself. The way it's worded now has Homestar steping into the painting and then talking to the painting, from inside it's belly or something.

:Same here. {{User:4kai2lyn6/sig}} 00:10, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::agreed --[[User:EricTheDerek|EricTheDerek]] 00:20, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:::I disagree. I think the firebert not being a good commando name was exactly what they had in mind. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:22, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::::but Trogdor isn't a commando name...is it? --[[User:EricTheDerek|EricTheDerek]] 00:25, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::::I agree as well... SB may have stated his opinion that Firebert isn't a good commando name in a previous email, but there's no reason to assume that's the reason he's unpopular; the gag would have worked just as well with any of the other commandos. The gag is a commentary on how much more popular Trogdor is than the commandos, not the "quality" of the name. - [[User:Uglinessman|Ugliness Man]] 02:10, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

==Redheaded stepchild?==
Is it possible that "step-headed red-child" is a reference to the phrase "redheaded stepchild," meaning an unfavored child? -[[User:HotBees|HotBees]] 00:01, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:If that's an actualy saying, then i'd say definately. Incidentally, i've never heard that before. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:03, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:: I have. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:21, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:::Me three. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 00:22, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:::Ditto, I've heard the phrase "gonna beat you like a red-headed step-child", and I've heard a few comedians reference the phrase. And even if it wasn't a common phrase, there'd pretty much be no other explanation for what the heck step-headed red-child is supposed to mean. - [[User:Uglinessman|Ugliness Man]] 02:15, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::::According to [http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=red-headed+stepchild Urban Dictionary], red-headed stepchild is a synonym for whipping boy. That's how I've always heard it used (eg, my department is the company's red-headed stepchild) and that makes sense in this context. (Be ye warned, oh external link-clickers, Urban Dictionary is NOT a family-friendly website!) [[User:Not Horse Woman|Not Horse Woman]] 00:44, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::: It's an old saying for suretain. --[[User:Mycroft.holmes|Mycroft Holmes]] 01:19, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

== Links to toon titles ==

Is there some kind of arbitrary rule that you don't link the same page twice in a paragraph or something? "which strong bad said was not a good commando name in army" looks wonky without a link or some way to identify "army" as referring to an email and not simply a grammatical miscarriage. -anonymous
:Link once and only once. First instance only. It's not unwritten, it's written.. [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once|place]]... {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:45, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::I understand the reason for the rule, and I'm not asking for the rule to be relaxed or broken, but there should be some sort of punctuation or format convention (quotes, bold, italics, some combination of 2 or 3) for a case like this. Otherwise, as anonymous pointed out, it just looks like bad grammar. - [[User:Uglinessman|Ugliness Man]] 02:13, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:::"Once and Only Once" has little to do with this... the rule you're after is [[HRWiki:Standards#Link once|Link once]]. But I agree, things like email names should be linked every time... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:07, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::::You sure 'bout that, Phlip? Email names always linked? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:07, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:::::It's tough, because if we were doing it correctly, we would probably have all the toons' names italicized. Since we don't, if you use the name of an email/toon but don't link it, it looks strange, like this: "Strong Bad's first email was some kinda robot". Especially the emails, since they're uncapitalized. So, I'm not sure that linking them all the time is the best solution, but we've got to do something to make them stand out, and italicizing them sometimes but not others would be too inconsistent... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 09:12, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::::::I'd say link all unless doing something major to all of 'em such as italics or quotes. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 17:31, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:::::::I've always thought toon titles should be linked every time. In a way, it ''is'' their punctuation. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:03, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

== Boond? ==

What does the "Boond You Like?" poster behind Homestar mean? {{User:Einstein runner/sig}} 02:54, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:From what I understand, it's a portmanteau of "bowl" and "spoon." That still doesn't make sense, though. -[[User:HotBees|HotBees]] 03:00, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::Maybe something to do with [[Wikipedia:War bond|war bonds]]? {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:14, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

== Mercenaries ==

The line "Mercenaries are typically known to have bad reputations" was used to explain the point of Strong Bad saying "We do bad stuff". How is this not NPOV? -[[User:Itama|Itama]] 03:29, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:I took that sentence out, and with NPOV, I meant the part about the missionaries. Without the missionaries bit, I didn't see much relevance in the mercenaries part of the sentence.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 10:13, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

==Poster==

should it be mentioned that the "do you has" poster, though slightly changed, has been used in a down loadable wallpaper?

:"Do you has?" reminds me of http://icanhascheezburger.com [[User:Bombcar|Bombcar]] 07:44, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

== He-Man ==
So, someone thought that the Poopsmith's change into the Municipality Soldier was not related to He-Man... I thought the lightning striking the shovel was just like the special magic that changes Prince Adam into Heman... "By the Castle of Grayskull.... I HAVE THE POWER!" I would like to add it back in, but please let me know what you thing.... I think you need to be a He-Man fan to appreciate it... any takers for a debate? [[User:MisteR t|mister t]] 05:06, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:I see the resemblence, but I think it's a reference to the Marines commercials (especially given the context of the toon). {{User:Trey56/sig}} 05:09, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::No, I totally thought of He-Man too. The Chaps are notorious for '80s refs. ...I think. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:14, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:::But really. Is this the place for a He-Man reference? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:06, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::::I'm gonna have to agree with Trey on this one. This is a clear Marine commercial reference. It also makes a lot more sense to be referencing an actual military recruitment commercial (rather than He-Man) at a Vaguely Military Career Fair. [[User:Manolios|Manolios]] 14:07, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:::::It does seem like a He-Man reference, now that you mention it. Besides, The Poopsmith doesn't almost lose his grip, like in the Marines commercial it seems to be referencing. [[User:Neox|Neox]]
::::::And He-Man... does? The Marines commerical reference is patently true (it says "pooper fi" on his shield). The only reason the scene resembles He-Man at all is because the Marines commercial that it parodies kinda does. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:40, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Why is everyone acting as though the Municipality video can only be a reference to one thing and one thing only? Is it not a possibility that it references BOTH the Marines recruitment ads AND He-Man?[[User:71.217.233.97|71.217.233.97]] 20:35, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
::::::::Because when something is clearly a reference to thing A, and kind of sorta resembles or is a stretch to thing B, then it's probably just a reference to think A alone. (It could be considered a variation of [[TTATOT]] that I will call TAOT ("this and only this").) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:40, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:::::::::As the coiner of TTATOT, I hereby give my support to TAOT. I bequeath thee! --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:06, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

== His left hand? ==

:The Cheat uses the marker with his [[left handedness|left hand]].

I don't want to change this yet just in case it's just my dyslexia, but I'm pretty sure the Cheat is using that marker with his right hand. [[User:Wrath|Wrath]] 13:52, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:Hmm, true, i corrected the wording, didn't think to look at the fact itself. Okay. DELETED! {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 14:06, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

== Brown Ops ==

I am not 100% on this, but aren't brown ops Navy operations in coastal and riverine areas?

== What? No goofs? ==

Shouldn't there be a goofs section? I noticed that when Strong Bad gets up, you see his reflection emerge from behind the Lappy and his head is behind the fairly tattered Paper.
:I haven't seen that one yet myself. But it's a wiki; feel free to add it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:04, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

:Who says he's looking at the paper? If your printer suddenly started shooting out ripped, mangled paper, would you look at the paper, or the printer? I say he's looking at the printer! --[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 05:17, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

== Mile reference? ==

Does anyone else think the sound The Cheat makes in the beginning of the Easter Egg is similar to that 1 from when he looked around in [[mile]]? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 15:40, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:Perhaps, but why is that notable? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:47, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

== Ganglo-Saxon ==

Isn't "Ganglo-Saxon" a [[portmanteau]] of "gangly" (probably referring to the build of high-school-age students likely to be attending career fairs) and "Anglo-Saxon"? (Edit: I see now that Has Matt? has added it to the Portmanteaus page already, just not here.) -{{User:ReverendTed/sig}} 15:55, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

== Music ==

The music is the scene after the 2 Weeks... sound familiar. I think its from something. I'll see if I can find it to have proof.--{{User:X66x66/sig}} 19:12, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
:[[Strongest Man In The World]], I believe. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:48, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

== Undertaker? ==

Is it just me or does the Shady Missionary look eerily like the Undertaker from old school WWF? The facial expression is exact. --((User:Shadix))

== 5 Bucks ==
I can't be the only one who noticed this. Homestar saying that the "viewer" looks like he comes from "a long line of five bucks-havers" is a direct reference to the email army. However, I'm guessing maybe there are so damn many references to that email in this one that listing them all would be silly?[[User:71.217.233.97|71.217.233.97]] 20:35, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

== Joe Piscopo ==

Did I miss something? WTF does Joe Piscopo have to do with anything? --- [[User:Wfaulk|Wfaulk]] 22:45, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

:He's listed as a client on the brochure for the On Point Kings. -[[User:Itama|Itama]] 04:02, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

== Long Sbemail ==

Apparently, the sbemail was put up for 3 weeks. Should I mention that anywhere? [[User:The Magic Pixel|The Magic Pixel]] 23:23, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I guess someone else added it. NEVERMIND'D! [[User:The Magic Pixel|The Magic Pixel]] 01:37, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

:Note that [[time capsule]] spanned an even longer period of time, so there's nothing notable about the three weeks except that SB actually completed answering this. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:01, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

== Montage ==

Does noone remember that at the end of Montage Strong Bad upgrades to an inkjet in sbemail73 and that could be why the paper is mesed up? {{unsigned|24.252.248.124|23:36, 22 May 2007 (UTC)}}
:See [[more armies#Inside References]]. It's already mentioned. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 23:38, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

==Roman Trifold==

What the crap's a Roman Trifold? [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 00:20, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
:Perhaps it's a play on the Roman trireme. A brochure of this style is refereed to as "trifold", that's for sure. The rest is a guess. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:04, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

==Helicopter==

Isn't that helicopter from TGS Issue 1? [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 00:25, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
:No, it looks totally different. Go and have a look.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:28, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

== Email sequel ==

I believe TBC broke their own rules. Didn't they say not to email Strong Bad asking him to remake an old email? This is basically a sequel to [[army]]. [[User:Hagurumon|Hagurumon]] 03:47, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
:Their admonition was not to ask them to "do Trogdor again" or anything like that. And frankly, this is as much a sequel to [[origins]] and [[disconnected]] as it is to [[army]]. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:50, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
::Yes, more of a sequel to several things. They just don't want the same question a second time. An offshoot or followup question seems to be okay, though. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 03:52, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
:::Also, [[dangeresque 3]] was a sequel to [[stunt double]], so it's not unprecedented. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:53, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

== The Cheat and Firebert ==

Is it fair to say that The Cheat voices Firebert in the Cheat Commando cartoons just as Crack Stuntman voices Gunhaver? Evidence to support this:
*The Cheat Commando cartoons are produced by members of the main Homestar Runner universe (hence Stuntman's message on Marzipan's answering machine). Theoretically, the other voice actors behind the CC characters exist alongside Homestar Runner, Strong Bad, etc.
*This email seems to indicate that The Cheat is making an appearance as the actor who plays Firebert.
*Firebert has never spoken English in any of the cartoons, but he made The Cheat noises in [[Shopping for Danger]].
*The Cheat also went by the name of Firebert in [[army]].
I think this makes sense, and I think it's intended by TBC, rather than simply speculation. Anyone agree or disagree? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 06:46, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*The [[Wikipedia:Cerebellum|cerebellum]] is the bottom rear section of the [[Brains|brain]]. Its function is disputed, but the two main theories are that it either functions as a regulator of the timing of movements, or that it is the brain's learning/encoding machine.
*[[Wikipedia:Lunchables|Lunchables]] are prepackaged children's meals made by [[Wikipedia:Kraft Foods|Kraft]] and [[Wikipedia:Oscar Mayer|Oscar Mayer]].
*[[Wikipedia:Fritos|Fritos]] are a brand of corn chips.
*Poly-Sci is short for [[wikipedia:Political science|Political science]].

===Trivia===
*This is one of the few TGSes where something other than an animal or a person gets killed (in this case, the heart that appears when So and So mentions Brett).
*This is the first episode to lead directly back to the TGS menu.
*Cheerleader's shirt says "boys please".
*In a bottomless pit you'd die of dehydration before dying of starvation.

===Remarks===
*The title of So-and-So's book changes throughout the toon. At first it says "subject", then "math types", and finally "poly-sci".
**When she turns to talk to 'Brett', the "sci" part of the book title moves from the left edge to the right edge.
*Quarterback's legs are backwards.

===Goofs===
*On the closing screen, the contraction "it's" is misspelled as the possessive "its".
*The toon transitions to the "it's over" screen slightly before So and So finished saying "I love you too, Brett".

== DVD Version ==
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MATT:''' Back again, comment style.

'''MIKE:''' It's the incredible commentary skills of Ryan Sterritt, everyone.

'''RYAN''': Hi. I made this cartoon.

'''MIKE''': Ryan, this is the— Ryan made this issue; that's why we've got him doing the commentary.

'''MATT''': Are you sure, guys?

'''MIKE''': Yeah, you were out of town, and I was sick, so I made Ryan do the whole cartoon.

'''MATT''': I remember making— I think I remember making this one!

'''MIKE''': No, you don't.

'''MATT:''' Hmm. ''{pause}'' It sounds like I have a bit of a, uh, sore throat in this one.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it does. I— I don't remember it being as such.

'''MATT:''' Look, she's got her poly-sci book there.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. I never took poly-sci.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I don't know... Whoa. Oh no!

'''MIKE:''' I like the Fighting Growlbacks nickname.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, we should...

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' I wouldn't mind making a Fighting Growlbacks shirt.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' For myself.

'''MATT:''' It could be a fantasy football team!

'''MIKE and RYAN:''' Ooh!

'''MIKE:''' That's true.

'''MATT:''' Umm... Are my undawears showing?

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Matt anticipates— maybe you ''were'' there, maybe, when we made this.

'''MATT:''' See? See?

'''MIKE:''' Oh, wait, you could've just watched it though!

'''MATT:''' No!

'''MIKE:''' Because we put this on a website.

'''MATT:''' I've never seen this before!

'''MIKE:''' Ryan and I put this up on the web.

'''RYAN:''' It's on the net!

'''MATT:''' N—, no!

'''MIKE:''' Look at quarterman! His locker has been laid waste to, it looks like.

'''MATT:''' That clearly looks like some kind of Megaman boss. A person riding a—

'''MIKE:''' Or Stinkoman Level 1 boss.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Oh!

'''MATT:''' ''{in assumed voice}'' You never know its tire!

===Fun Facts===
*Mike refers to [[Stinkoman_20X6_Enemies#Bosses|Tampo]], the boss for [[Stinkoman 20X6]] Level 1, who does resemble the brain mech.

''{stops singing}'' See I told you I was a poet, now.

''{sobs}'' You're so perfect, and, you know, I couldn't ask for more in a lady. ''{sniffs}'' Oh, geez. I'm sorry. I... ''{sniffs}'' I gotta go.

''{holds back laughter}'' OK.. cheers... 'cause I'm so British.

=== Message 3: ===
'''COACH Z''': Hey, there, Marzipan. It's Coach Z, uh... So Bubs tells me I gave you a call last night, uh, in the wee hours, there. Um, I'm not too sure what I may have said, but I'd like to apologize... make kind of a blanket apology.. cover the whole thing there, like one of them blankets you put on a fire, you know, when a, when you're burnin' leaves in the backyard and it gets out of hand and, you know, you gotta throw that blanket over here. That's what this apology is, here. So, uh.. hope I didn't offend you or say anything out of turn, there. Though I suppose you can't really say nothing out of turn on a machine, right? 'Cause, you know, when's it your turn on an answering machine, not 'till you call back. OK, so now I'm just ramblin', but, uh... I am still a poet, and, uh, and don't I know it!

=== Message 2: ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Good evening, Sir or Madam. My name is Homestar Runner. I represent Distinguished Businessman. Are you getting the lowest rates from your long distance provider? I can give you rates as low as anybody. Seriously. I don't know what they are, but I probably could give them to you. Um, here's one: BEEP. No, that was just me buzzing the phone. Ok, it was't even me buzzing the phone, it was just me saying BEEP. Uhh, I can provide you with other stuff, too, like this pen on my desk ''{clangs pen on desk}'', or, like, these post-its. This is great. Am I getting paid for this, really? Um, doodly dee deeby deedly dee..

'''STRONG SAD''': Oh, hey Marzipan. Guess who this is it's Strong Sad. I was just calling 'cause I figured you wouldn't be home, and I'd never done that thing, you know, where you call somebody and you're leaving a message on their machine, and then while you're leaving the message, they pickup the phone and it's like: Oh, hey. Hi. I was just leaving you a message and how you doing? and so.. see, I never had that happen to me, so I thought I'd just call you and talk... talk you your machine until you got home... so that's what I'm gonna do. Hello? Hellooooo? Marzipan? Hello? ''{repeats last 4 words indefinitely}''

japanese cartoon

2004-09-25T20:55:54Z

Bombcar: Minor punctuation

== Screenshot ==
http://www.cs.utah.edu/~swilde/hsw/stinkoman.PNG

== Summary ==
'''[[Strong Bad Email]] #57'''

[[Strong Bad]] describes what he would look like as a japanese cartoon, and [[20X6]] is born.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Stinko Man]], [[Pan Pan]], [[20X6 Homestar]], [[Homestar Runner]] {Easter Egg}'''

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' So cool an email. I thought you would enjoy it! Ding-dong...

''{reading}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,
what would you look like as a
japanese cartoon and what would
it be about?

-james f.</pre>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "f." "fffffffffff"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' A Japanese cartoon, eh, James? I saw one o' thems once. Let's see what I can remember.

''{cut to a white screen with Strong Bad standing there. As he describes how he would look different, the changes are applied}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, so first of all, my head would have to be a little bean. With real-real big eyes. Get rid of my thumbs, make me all shiny...my boots would be a whole lot cooler. Like robot boots. And for some reason, I got blue hair. You gotta have blue hair. Then there's my mouth. Real tiny when it's closed; ridiculously huge when it's open. And then you basically just put me in space and let me fly around in cool poses!

''{we see Stinko Man, the anime Strong Bad, flying around in all sorts of cool poses. He then lands down in a futuristic anime-rendition of the field.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And they'd probably have somebody else do the voices.

''{20X6 Homestar walks on}''

'''20X6 HOMESTAR:''' Hey Stinko Man! Everybody says you're the guy but, I wanna be the guy too!

'''STINKO MAN:''' No way, you're just a kid! Maybe when you're older.

''{Pan Pan, the anime version of PomPom designed to look like a panda, bounces in and squashes 20X6 Homestar}''

'''STINKO MAN:''' Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Pan Pan is fat! Ha ha ha ha ha! He fell on you! Ha ha ha ha! He's a good bear!

''{Suddenly, the cartoon transitions into an ink-drawing of the scene, and a bunch of Japanese names flash across the screen for credits while the 20X6 theme song plays. Then we're back to Compy with Strong Bad typing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in Stinko Man's voice}'' Japanese cartoons are w-- ''{clears his throat}'' Oh, ahem, excuse me. ''{goes back to typing and uses his regular voice}'' Japanese cartoons are weird, man. Though I may be on to something with that blue hair. ''{stops typing}'' Look pretty nice, it look-a pretty nice!

''{The scene does an ink-transition and flashes more credits as Strong Bad sings the 20X6 theme tune; one of the credits is a link to email Strong Bad instead of [[The Paper]]}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the very end you can click on the words, "Japanese Cartoons" and see "Stinkoman K 20X6" in action.
*At the end of "Stinkoman K 20X6" you can click on "Japanese Cartoons" again to see Homestar Runner watching it and singing along to the theme song.
*While or after Homestar is watching the intro to Stinkoman, you can click on the "NES Endings" video tape to see various ending to NES games.
*Once the NES Endings window opens you can click on it to show more.

== Fun Facts ==
*The endings for the Nintendo games are as follows:
#Rad Racer (Rad Racer is also the source of the Stinko Man theme song)
#Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest (Normal Ending)
#Megaman 2
#Super Mario Bros. 2 (Super Mario USA in Japan)
#Arch Rivals: A Basket Brawl!
#Ghosts N' Goblins (Good Ending)
#Blaster Master
#The Legend of Zelda (First Quest)
#Metroid (1-3 Hours Finishing Time)
#Jackal
#Rygar

*In the third slide of the "credits", you can see a parody of Vegeta (Dragon Ball Z), all Strong Bad'd up.

*According to Strong Bad, the steps to making a cartoon character into a japanese cartoon character are:
*#Make the head a little bean
*#Have real-real big eyes
*#Get rid of the thumbs
*#Make it all shiny
*#The shoes would be a whole lot cooler, like robot boots
*#And for some reason, they'd have blue hair. You gotta have blue hair!
*#Then there's the mouth. Real-real small when closed, ridiculously huge when open
*#Then you just put them in space and have them fly around in cool poses

*This is one of two [[Strong Bad Email]]s in which the paper doesn't come down. The other is [[superhero name]].

*The name Stinko Man is a reference to [[island]]. Homestar suddenly calls Strong Bad "Stinkoman."

*20x6 is actually a reference to the first Metroid game, which is set in the year 20x5.

*The spaceship looks a lot like [http://starbase.globalpc.net/%7Ebhz/strongbad/images/galaxy5000.gif this] spaceship from the videogame Galaxy 5000

*The credits for Stinkoman K are lifted from The Legend of Zelda for NES.

*The theme music is lifted directly from [http://www.vgmuseum.com/images/nes/01/rad.html Rad Racer], an old NES game. ''Rad Racer'' 's music was composed by Nobuo Uematsu, who, of course, would later go on to become famous for his ''Final Fantasy'' soundtracks.

*At the begining of the email, Strong Bad recites a Haiku, which is very fitting:
**So cool an email
**I thought you would enjoy it
**Ding dong Dear Strong Bad

== Commentary Transcript ==

'''Strong Bad does the commentary while the cartoon plays.'''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, hello and welcome to The King of Town special edition DVD. I am your host, America's number one son and sweetheart to all the ladies, Strong Bad. You're probably wondering what I'm doing the commentary on this cartoon for, and it's because they didn't put me in the freakin' cartoon, so, the least they could do is let me make fun of it. So, let's uh, let's begin.

Okay, now, this guy does not belong in cartoons. From what I understand, he's everybody's least favorite character, and I don't understand how he got his own freakin' cartoon, and I haven't even got... ''my'' own cartoon yet.

Oh, and the special effects here; look at that piece of crap! I mean, I really think that was a piece of crap tied to some strings... that they just... pulled up behind the mountains, you know...

And here comes mister prancy-time himself, Homestar Runner, to save the day. Personally, I don't know what he's doing not wearing his hat, because, he looks kinda creepy whe- when he doesn't wear his baseball hat. Or whatever that hat is, you got the propeller on it... I hate everything about that guy.

Oh, now this guy had some class. The blacksmith, that guy was a good guy. I hang out after the cartoon, we had some good times. Yeah, we-- oh, and THIS freakin' guy, man, he STANK SO BAD! I mean... you know, I would say that he smelled like crap, but that wouldn't go far enough enough. Imagine the worst thing you ever smelled, and pretend that took a crap. THAT'S what he smelled like. And this little guy, he gave me the creeps... I don't trust that guy any farther than I could throw him.

Oh, and Homestar wearing the graduate cap... I'll tell you what, I mean, Homestar never graduated from anything in his life. And, uh, that little X he just made... to tell you the truth, I don't think that he would ever be able to tell you that it was an X because I'm pretty sure he doesn't know the alphabet and I'm almost positive he can't read, so. Oh yeah, everyone has a good laugh...

And that place, the King of Town does not live in that castle! I can tell you that right now. I mean, like, he lives in like some two bedroom job next door to me. It's kinda run down and creepy. Yeah, you don't want to go over there, man.

== Easter Eggs ==
