'''Strong Bad Email''' (frequently abbreviated as '''sbemail''') is a feature in which [[Strong Bad]] answers an email sent by a real-world fan. Arguably the most recognizable feature of [[homestarrunner.com|the site]], it is [[First Time Here?|occasionally joked]] that its success has led to Strong Bad becoming the most popular character in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] series {{--}} even surpassing [[Homestar Runner]] himself.

A typical email opens with Strong Bad humorously mocking [[Poorly Written Emails|the spelling and grammar of the sender]], then transitioning to an anecdote or scheme related to a question asked by the email, concluding with Strong Bad returning to his computer to finalize his typed response. Strong Bad Emails include numerous [[Easter egg]]s and other hidden material, often found at the ending screen; many feature satirical views of aspects of popular culture such as [[japanese cartoon|Japanese cartoons]], [[video games]], and [[theme song|TV show theme songs]]. Originally introduced in 2001 as a small feature with brief animations, the responses gradually expanded in scope to establish numerous [[inside jokes]], [[running gags]], and [[catch phrases]]. Full-fledged [[Strong Bad Email spin-offs]] include [[Trogdor]], [[Teen Girl Squad]], [[20X6]], [[Strong Badia]], [[Hremails]], the secondary character [[Senor Cardgage]], and even main character [[Homsar]].

Strong Bad Email had historically been the most frequently updated feature of [[homestarrunner.com]], with a new email being added to [[Strong Bad Email Menu|the menu]] most Mondays from [[2002]] through [[2008]]. The pace of releases slowed after [[email thunder|the 200th email]] in September 2008. Creative duo [[the Brothers Chaps]] took a self-imposed break at the bicentennial, returning to sbemail production in late 2009. Soon after this, Homestar Runner entered into an extended [[hiatus]] from 2010 through 2014; nowadays, as the site is updated irregularly, multi-year gaps are now common between sbemails and a new one is typically prompted by a special event or circumstance. The [[social media]] account [[@StrongBadActual]] has since become the main format for the character to respond to and otherwise interact with fans.

== History ==
:''See also [[Timeline of Homestar Runner]], [[Strong Bad#Character Design and Conception|Strong Bad Character Design and Conception]]''

[[Strong Bad]] is one of the oldest [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] characters, created alongside [[Homestar Runner|the title character]] for ''[[Original Book|The Homestar Runner Enters the Strongest Man in the World Contest]]'' in 1996. Though created as an antagonist, [[the Brothers Chaps]] were realizing that he was "probably the most interesting character" as early as the release of [[A Jumping Jack Contest]] in 2000;{{ref|1}} his humorous villainy and [[Strong Bad Losing His Edge|ultimately mild insults]] swiftly led to him becoming became a fan favorite and [[TVTropes:Main/BreakoutCharacter|breakout character]] as well.{{ref|1}}{{ref|2}} Also around this time, the brothers were exploring the narrative potential of the characters in toons like [[A Jorb Well Done]] and new series formats like [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 1.0|Marzipan's Answering Machine]].{{ref|2}} This led to the Chaps deciding to give Strong Bad "his own little feature": answering emails from fans.{{ref|27}}

===The first sbemails (2001)===
[[File:sbemail1.PNG|thumb|The first Strong Bad Email toon was [[some kinda robot]], released August 22, 2001.]]
An [[email]] address to contact the Chaps was listed on the site from its earliest days (it would be removed in late 2015). As of a few months before the launch of Strong Bad's email account, the brothers were typically receiving "five or ten mails a day" from fans;{{ref|3}} one such fan had been [[Abdi LaRue]]. Requiring an email for Strong Bad to reply to, the Brothers Chaps reached out to LaRue: informing them of Strong Bad's then-new email address and suggesting they send him an email.{{ref|4}} Abdi's email (inquiring if Strong Bad takes off his mask and boxing gloves when sleeping) was answered August 22, 2001 in the first Strong Bad Email: [[some kinda robot]].

<blockquote>'''THE BROTHERS CHAPS:''' Strong Bad Emails were meant to be a really short thing to occupy the space between our longer cartoons. But they ended up turning Strong Bad into one of the most interesting characters.{{ref|5}}</blockquote>

The original idea had been to write a reply from Strong Bad to every email he received, with one selected each week that would be voiced, animated, and posted on the website; this plan was almost immediately abandoned,{{ref|7}}{{ref|8}} with the volume of responses (fifteen emails a day) immediately recognized as too much to deal with.{{ref|7}} Even emails that were selected would not receive a reply, with the sender only realizing they'd been chosen upon viewing the resultant toon.

Sbemails were initially envisioned as a simple and short feature,{{ref|5}} in the manner of a farcical {{w|advice column}}.{{ref|6}} Early sbemails typically ran for a minute or less, and frequently would only feature Strong Bad typing at his computer. At this point, both brothers still had full-time jobs{{ref|2}}{{ref|8}} and lived in different states ([[Mike]] in Georgia, [[Matt]] in New York),{{ref|2}}{{ref|3}} necessitating a split production. Mike, who worked freelance and had more free time,{{ref|2}}{{ref|3}} would animate while Matt provided voices; writing duties were shared between the two.{{ref|3}} Some early entries had no script, with Matt simply reading through then riffing on a fan's email and sending the resultant audio file to Mike for animation.{{ref|6}}{{ref|9}}{{ref|10}}

Sbemails, much like the rest of [[HomestarRunner.com]], were not being updated on a set schedule at this point: they were released on varying days of the week, usually with over a week elapsing between them. A total of seven email toons were released in [[2001]].

===Weekly schedule (2002{{-}}2008)===
<blockquote>'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' I'd been living in New York, and then I moved back [to Georgia] and we decided "Hey, let's start doing something every week." We'd done a few Strong Bad Emails at that point, but we decided "that's the easiest thing we could do. We could do one of those a week." So that was 2002 {{--}} I feel like just the weekly updating of Strong Bad Emails was really when [the site's popularity] started to go crazy.{{ref|11}}</blockquote>

[[Image:sbemail45.PNG|thumb|left|[[techno]] (released in 2002) was a particularly popular entry among the early emails.]]
[[2002]] was a significant year for Homestar Runner. Matt moved back to Georgia, with the brothers sharing an apartment, and now that they could collaborate in-person they strove to dedicate more time to the website. The then-simple Strong Bad Email toons were selected as something that could be done every week.{{ref|11}} The email that established this weekly pace was [[brianrietta]]{{ref|10}} on January 10, 2002; the subsequent email, [[i love you]] (released January 14), standardized the practice of releasing a new sbemail every Monday. As a result of this schedule (most site updates that year were Strong Bad Emails), the website's popularity gradually increased as the months passed.{{ref|5}}{{ref|12}} By September, rising [[store]] income allowed both Chapman brothers to leave their other jobs and work full-time on Homestar Runner.{{ref|12}}{{ref|13}}

The 2002 emails [[guitar]] and [[techno]] were particularly popular, influencing the brothers to select emails that could focus on humorously disparaging specific niches.{{ref|11}} A common inquiry {{--}} addressed on the [[FAQ]] page and its [[Email FAQ|predecessor]] {{--}} was whether the emails Strong Bad answers were genuinely sent by fans: they all are,{{ref|2}}{{ref|7}} with the exception of [[mile]] (which was purportedly [[Powered by The Cheat|made up]] by [[The Cheat]]) and [[robots]] (which Strong Bad claims to have made up himself).

Strong Bad Email viewership surged over the next several years. At the beginning of 2003, Strong Bad was receiving hundreds of emails a day{{ref|7}} {{--}} this figure rose to 2,000{{-}}5,000 within mere months,{{ref|6}} and remained at that level for years. The deluge of messages peaked in summer of 2003 at nearly 8,000 a day,{{ref|6}} albeit with the caveat that a significant portion was simply {{w|Email spam|spam}}.{{ref|14}} Mondays in 2003 were seeing nearly 300,000 visitors coming to the site to watch the newest sbemail,{{ref|13}} compared to 200,000 on other days.{{ref|15}}

Though the brothers had hoped to add another weekly feature,{{ref|2}}{{ref|9}} the demands of running [[Harmless Junk, Inc.|their own business]] restricted their time.{{ref|9}}{{ref|16}} Additionally, as Strong Bad Emails continued to increase in runtime and complexity, their production took away from opportunities to make other types of cartoons;{{ref|15}} the Chaps estimated that "at least 60 to 70 percent" of the site's updates were sbemails.{{ref|17}} However, they did not feel limited by the popularity of the series, with Matt reflecting that "when we feel Strong Bad Emails are getting old, we can quickly jump into something else."{{ref|18}} The toon [[Sbemailiarized!]], released in 2009, joked that the difference between sbemails and other cartoons on the site was "not all that much!"

====Milestones====
[[File:Doppelgangers.png|thumb|Sesquicentenn-email, 2005! ...I{{--}}I mean six.]]
Emails that reached a centenary milestone, or a significant division thereof, often focused on (or at least made note of) the landmark. Thus far, five emails have commemorated a significant number of emails; several of these had been teased with an additional toon released the week prior that played off viewers' anticipation.

*'''50:''' [[50 emails]] {{--}} Strong Bad attempts to check 50 emails in honor of his 50th email-check, but only succeeds in answering three.
*'''100:''' [[flashback]] {{--}} The email is presented in "[[Widescreen|wiiidescreeeen]]". [[Marzipan]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Senor Cardgage]], [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]], and [[Limozeen]] congratulate him on his 100th email (although Homestar absentmindedly wishes him a "happy 100th birthday" instead). The [[Compy]] presents Strong Bad with a congratulatory screen indicating that he has checked 100 emails, and Strong Bad celebrates by saying "email" 100 times.
**[[Sbemail 100 Fakeout]] {{--}} Viewers hoping to see email 100 before its official release are teased by Strong Bad.
*'''125:''' [[rock opera]] {{--}} Strong Bad performs a rock opera featuring scenes and at least one word from all of his previous emails.
*'''150:''' [[alternate universe]] {{--}} Strong Bad visits alternate universes featuring [[Strong Bad#Variations|different versions of himself]]; they all form a {{w|Supergroup (music)|supergroup}} to sing a ballad commemorating the "sesquicentennemail".
**[[Sbemail 150?!?]] {{--}} Strong Sad trys to convince Strong Bad to check a 150th email, proposing a storyboard for it.
*'''200:''' [[email thunder]] {{--}} [[The Poopsmith]] breaks his vow of silence to sing a grand fanfare (by [[They Might Be Giants]]). The email also ends with a screen listing the first 200 emails.
**[[Place Ya Bets!]] {{--}} [[The Deleteheads]] speculate on what will happen in email 200.
**[[Sbemail 200 Fakeout]] {{--}} The Deleteheads camp out at the URL for the 200th email.

===Bicentennial and Break (2008{{-}}2009)===
<blockquote>'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' 200 was a nice round number to take a break from [Strong Bad Email] and do other stuff on the website.{{ref|19}}</blockquote>

[[File:HomestarRuinerWiiChannelBanner.png|thumb|left|[[SBCG4AP Intros|"I've got ''other'' plans for the Lappy today."]]]]
The milestone of 200 emails was reached on September 23, 2008 with [[email thunder]]. The narrative of this cartoon quickly shifts from celebrating Strong Bad's achievement to the surprising reveal of [[Homestar Runner]]'s competing email show {{--}} [[hremails]] {{--}} which have been running parallel with sbemails. Though the toon ends with Strong Bad gleefully destroying Homestar's computer, the coming months would see the release of additional hremails and other cartoons while the Brothers Chaps took a pause from producing more sbemails. In interviews, the brothers expressed that this hiatus was taken to vary their output and that, though they were enjoying the change, this did not necessarily signal the end of sbemails.{{ref|17}}{{ref|19}}

Another landmark in 2008 was the release of ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]]'', produced by [[Telltale Games]] in partnership with the Brothers Chaps (the [[Firsts|first time]] Homestar Runner had been licensed out to a third party). This five-part {{w|episodic video game}} centered around Strong Bad's adventures, kicked off by answering emails in the manner of the site's toons (notably, these emails were created by Telltale's writers rather than sent by fans);{{ref|20}} each game also featured additional, optional emails the player could guide Strong Bad to read, respond to, or delete. Though the release of the game's episodes overlapped with sbemails going on hiatus, the brothers were quick to specify that the decision to pause sbemail production was not a result of the ''SBCG4AP'' workload.{{ref|19}}

Strong Bad Emails returned in 2009, with Strong Bad reclaiming the fanmail format from Homestar in [[hremail 3184]] on June 30. Four more emails were subsequently produced, albeit now at a monthly rate rather than the previous weekly pace. The 205th email, [[videography]], was released October 5, 2009; though this toon was not particularly noteworthy or conclusive on its own, it would prove to be the last email for over five years.

===The Big Hiatus (2010{{-}}2013)===
{{seemain|Hiatuses}}
[[File:sbemail206_teaser.jpg|thumb|[[sbemail206]] was {{prs|174295231376785409|27|Feb|2012|site=ronginald|alt=first teased}} more than three years before its eventual completion.]]

Updates to HomestarRunner.com began to slow in [[H*R.com updates 2009|late 2009]], quickly and dramatically dropping to where [[H*R.com updates 2010|only three toons were produced in 2010]]. The site entered an extended hiatus in 2011, with no new toons for over three years.

During this hiatus, Matt occasionally posted to his Twitter account [[@ronginald]]. He affirmed that the site would continue to be updated "[[@ronginald#18185|forever! just sporadically and without warning]]", and hinted that [[sbemail 206|a new Strong Bad Email]] could be released "{{prs|174295231376785409|27|Feb|2012|site=ronginald|alt=Someday, when you least expect it...}}".

===Modern Era (2015{{-}}present)===
<blockquote>'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' We're not expecting [Homestar Runner] to be our full-time gig [again], we just want this to be fun. There were points in the initial run where it was a great job, but it was also stressful. If we want to make a great cartoon, every couple months it will be something new. But we're not going to stay awake all night just to finish a Strong Bad Email.{{ref|21}}</blockquote>

HomestarRunner.com became active again in 2014, albeit without a schedule and with a slower pace of updates as the new standard;{{ref|21}} as the [[main page]]s put it, the site is now "updated every someday". Strong Bad Emails returned with [[sbemail 206]] on April 1, 2015. The email cheekily acknowledges the time that had passed between emails; however, befitting its release date, it is primarily an [[April Fools' Day]] cartoon that is not centered around Strong Bad replying to a message from a fan.

Sbemail 206 also began the practice of ending with [[CGI Paper|a prompt for fans]] to "email" Strong Bad by making a post directed at [[@StrongBadActual]] on Twitter (rather than emailing strongbad@homestarrunner.com). This [[social media]] account began posting regularly in 2014, and is presented as being run by Strong Bad with nearly all posts being written in-character to some degree. In the post-hiatus era, it has become the most active facet of the body of work and superseded many features: [[Weekly Fanstuff|acknowledging fan works]], [[Sketchbook|sharing production artwork]], and [[FeedBurner Page|announcing new toons and projects]] have all been done through this account. Though only two full Strong Bad Emails have been made in response to fans' tweets, the account generally substituted for sbemails' primary function of allowing Strong Bad to interact directly with fans.

Five Strong Bad Emails have been made since 2015. Nearly all (except [[robots]]) have been released on special occasions, being motivated by a holiday or as a reward for a fan contest:
*[[sbemail 206]] (April 1, 2015) {{--}} An [[April Fools' Day]] cartoon
*[[too cool]] (August 14, 2017) {{--}} The winner of {{prs|867138694666481665|23|May|2017|alt=a fill-in-the-blank contest}}
*[[the next april fools thing]] (April 1, 2018) {{--}} Initially presenting as an April Fools' Day cartoon, the toon is soon revealed to be a sbemail responding to [https://archive.is/fzBEL a fan's tweet]
*[[parenting]] (April 1, 2022) {{--}} Produced as a reward for a backer of the [[Trogdor!! The Board Game]] Kickstarter{{ref|22}}

===YouTube===
The [[homestarrunnerdotcom]] [[YouTube]] channel was registered on October 1, 2007. When it first began uploading Strong Bad Emails on March 31, 2009, they were direct rips of the DVD versions (featuring title cards with the email names in Title Case and ending with The Paper reading ">> The End <<"), with [[independent]] being uploaded in a previously unreleased DVD-style version with altered scenes. Starting in 2017, 1080p versions of the emails have been uploaded, with email titles in all lowercase and the paper reading "> THE END <", often incorporating the Easter eggs from the original website versions.

These are all of the emails that have been uploaded (in order of YouTube release, earliest to latest):

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
[[File:SBZone_inbox.jpg|thumb|The image attached to the new automated response]]
*During the Tandy 400 era (until at least July 2002), emailing Strong Bad would result in this automated response:<blockquote>Thanks for your freakin email. I hope it's not stupid. Once I finish these swiss cake rolls I'll read it and if it's awesome enough, I'll answer it on the site. But if your email is terrible, then it gets R.E.D. alright. The Cheat Reads it, Strong Mad Eats it, and I Deletes it. [[OldHR:processing.html|Click Here]] to see us in action! Check back every Monday to see if your email has what it takes. Watch me while I'm awesome, Strong Bad</blockquote>
**The link in the automated response leads to the [[Email Processing Room]].

*Since April 24, 2026 or earlier, emailing Strong Bad results in an automated response with the subject line "MY INBOX [[A Splode|ASPLODE]]":<blockquote>Hey parson, thanks for the email. The years of neglect have caused this inbox to maybe develop sentience? So Bubs has quarantined it for now. If and when I check more emails, I will dig through the piles and piles of previous styles to find the gold nuggets.</blockquote>
**[[:File:SBZone_inbox.jpg|An attached image]] depicts [[Vector Strong Bad]] saying "MY INBOX ASPLODE".
**The salutation "Hey parson" may be a reference to [[looking old]].

*Emails typically are presented on the site with all-lowercase titles, and use the URL format <tt>number-name</tt> (for instance, [[environment|<tt>homestarrunner.com/sbemails/186-environment</tt>]])
**[[butt IQ]] and [[CGNU]] are the only onsite emails with capital letters in their titles.
***Prior to the [[post-Flash site update]], [[3 Wishes]] and [[what I want]] used capitals as well.
**Before the post-Flash update, sbemails used the format <tt>sbemail#.html</tt> for their URL.
***Some emails had [[Irregular Strong Bad Email URLs|irregular URLs]].
*Email #22, [[sb_email 22]], was actually made between emails 40 and 41. This number was originally skipped as the [[little animal|23rd email]] followed the [[cartoon|21st]], with the 22nd later made and released under the title "the lost email".
**It is unknown if there was any intent behind this irregular order or if it was the result of a numbering error.
*During active periods of updates, an extended delay between emails would occasionally be [[Acknowledged Update Delays|acknowledged at the start of the new email]] {{--}} as seen in [[army]], [[geddup noise]], [[redesign]], [[hremail 3184]], and [[sbemail 206]].
*Although viewers were originally prompted to email Strong Bad at strongbad@homestarrunner.com, as of [[sbemail 206]] the [[CGI Paper]] has directed viewers to "email" by tweeting [[@StrongBadActual]].
*Email #208, [[the next april fools thing]], was originally hidden inside a holiday toon, and wasn't listed on the [[Strong Bad Email menu]] until the post-Flash site update on December 31, 2020.
====Email selection====
[[File:TwitterEmailError.jpg|thumb|At the peak of the series' popularity, Strong Bad was receiving thousands of emails every day.]]
*In 2001, prior to the introduction of Strong Bad Email, the site received five or ten emails a day from fans.{{ref|3}} By January 2003, the daily number had climbed to "500 or more",{{ref|7}} peaked in mid-2003 with five to eight thousand daily emails,{{ref|14}} and by 2004 had leveled out to between two and five thousand a day.{{ref|6}}
**Consequently, the email server was set to simply delete every email in the inbox every few days.{{ref|6}}{{ref|23}}
*The brothers maintained a "good ones" folder of emails with an appealing subject that could be returned to be used weeks or months later.{{ref|6}}{{ref|25}}
*Some emails were reverse-engineered: a topic was chosen first, then the inbox searched to find a relevant message that could serve as a framing device.
**[[ghosts]]{{ref|6}} and [[Accent]]{{ref|25}} are two such emails.
*The Brothers Chaps would frequently remark that a significant portion {{--}} or even the majority {{--}} of emails they received were asking the same low-quality questions over and over again, and were thus invariably [[deleted]]. These offending subjects were so consistent that the brothers had even considered making a meta email where Strong Bad would address the topic.{{ref|14}}{{ref|25}} Such topics included:
**Asking [[How do you type with boxing gloves on?|how Strong Bad types with boxing gloves on]]{{ref|7}}{{ref|14}}{{ref|28}} or what he looks like without his mask{{ref|8}}
***[[some kinda robot]], [[other days]], and [[the chair]] all poked fun at fans' desire to see Strong Bad's "unmasked" face.
**Requesting Strong Bad repeat a topic from a previous email,{{ref|14}}{{ref|23}} with requests to [[Draw Trogdor Again|draw Trogdor (or another dragon) again]] especially common{{ref|5}}{{ref|8}}{{ref|25}}
**Suggesting a parody of a currently popular movie, event, or cultural phenomenon{{ref|5}}{{ref|8}}{{ref|23}}
***The {{w|2006 Winter Olympics}} were given as an example of an avoided topic in 2006;{{ref|8}} by comparison, the [[Olympics]] parody [[strong badathlon]] was not in an Olympic year and the email Strong Bad responds to was not about the Olympics.
**Inquiring about characters' [[parents]], particularly asking what they look like{{ref|5}}{{ref|8}}{{ref|28}}
**Using intentionally poor spelling and grammar to bait a mocking response{{ref|24}}
**The same email address sending several emails in a row,{{ref|26}} or an identical email again and again{{ref|24}}{{ref|26}}
**Taking "too long" {{--}} over four or five sentences {{--}} to get to the point of the message (though an overly-wordy email could be edited for clarity){{ref|14}}
***In [[long pants]], Strong Bad aggressively truncates an email he deems too long.
***The email presented in [[space program]] was {{p|l=http://forum.hrwiki.org/viewtopic.php?p=233730&sid=30b76fd95bc7addb687f04565b6fcb0d#p233730 originally}} over twice as long when sent to Strong Bad.
====Statistics====
{{seemain|Strong Bad Email Statistics}}
[[File:SBEScatter2.png|thumb|The runtime of sbemails slowly increased over time, with a runtime of 3{{-}}5 minutes becoming the standard by the late [[#Compy 386 Era|Compy era]].]]
*Not including Not Quite Strong Bad Emails, Strong Bad has checked 239 emails as of [[robots]].
*As of [[robots]], it would take 10 hours, 13 minutes, and 22 seconds  to watch every Strong Bad Email, including the DVD exclusives but excluding clickable Easter eggs. Including clickable Easter eggs, it would take 11 hours, 39 minutes, and 32 seconds.
*As of September 2022, Strong Bad Emails make up about 43% of the toons on the site by volume; as of May 2021, they make up about 26% of toons on the site by runtime. 

===Remarks===
*Two emails have been checked by someone other than Strong Bad, but count as Strong Bad Emails anyway: [[mile]] was made up and animated by [[The Cheat]], and [[anything]] was checked by [[Homestar Runner]].
*''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]]'' features emails both as a framing device and as interactive content in the games; however, these were not sent by actual fans.{{ref|20}}

DorianGray: Costume reference, the difference between apertifs and digestifs

[[File:PantsNaysmen.png|thumb]]
''From [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] in the [[Crime Scene Tamperer Soundboard]]:''
<blockquote>Pants is a Euro-art thief and counterfeiter. He started out low and mid-level falutin in Paris but now exclusively high-falutes across the globe. Don't be fooled, those eyebrows are actually a SECOND mustache!! Also, both mustaches can be removed and used as poison darts! Claims to know the difference between apertifs and digestifs but I've seen him mix them up.</blockquote>

'''Pants Naysmen''' is a ''[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]'' character portrayed by [[Strong Sad]]. Visually, he resembles Strong Sad's {{wp|Michelin Man|Bibendum}} costume from an Easter egg in [[your funeral]], with the stripes removed and facial hair added.

The difference between {{wp|Apéritif and digestif|apertifs and digestifs}} is that the former is an alcoholic beverage served before a meal, while the latter is served afterward.

Homestar Runner RPG

DorianGray: Reverted edits by 177.6.56.196 (Talk) to last revision by DorianGray

[[Image:hsr_rpg_atari2600_tv.jpg|thumb|220px|Atari'd!]]
A '''Homestar Runner RPG''' was in development for the [[Atari 2600]] in the early 2000s. Programmed by [[Paul Slocum]], it was initially planned to be released in early 2004 and would've been the first console game for [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]].
Due to the immense level of work required to build a full RPG on the limited hardware of the Atari 2600, a demo was still only 1/3 finished by February 2006. The project was abandoned by August 2008, with Slocum estimating that the game was only half-finished and would've still required months of work.

==Planned Features==
[[Image:RPG.png|thumb|220px|Title screen]]
Players would have been able to play as [[Homestar Runner]], [[Homsar]], or [[Strong Sad]] (and possibly [[Marzipan]] and [[Coach Z]]) against the villain [[Strong Bad]] (and possibly [[The Cheat]] and [[Strong Mad]]) in a traditional {{w|sword and sorcery}}-themed {{w|Role-playing video game|role-playing game}}. Gameplay was planned to be turn-based with lots of mini-games and story text with codes given to save game progress. RPG elements would have included magic, HP, weapons, and an inventory with different items (such as Wooden Shield, [[The Stick]], Ninja Star, Leather Armor, [[Fhqwhgads]], and [[Strong Bad's Fondue Pot|Fondue Pot]]). The enemies would have included those from other Atari 2600 games. The map was comparable in size to the early computer RPGs, and the player could travel through different lands, such as grass (with trees and water), castle (with different floor tiles and a basement), nighttime, and mountains. Like the [[homestarrunner.com|website's]] [[Index Page#Previous Versions|index page]], the title screen would give players the option to view the intro or play the game.

While Slocum was responsible for programming, [[The Brothers Chaps]] provided the character graphics and some of the game tiles. Some of the screens used the same graphics as the [[Compy 386]]-emulated characters in [[big white face]], while sometimes they resembled their [[Retro Gaming Character Variations|Atari counterparts]].

The game would have been released as a downloadable {{w|ROM image|ROM}} for {{w|Video game console emulator|PC emulation}}, with the option of a physical Atari 2600 cartridge for the dedicated old-school gamer.

==Abandonment==
On January 4, 2005, Slocum published a statement that development had halted:
<blockquote>The game's on hold for a while. I'm too busy with my band and other projects to work on it right now, but I do plan to return to it when I can. Sorry it's taking so long, but that's life.</blockquote>

On September 5, 2005, [[Matt Chapman]] indicated in [[Bobby Blackwolf Interview - 5 Sep 2005|an interview]] that the game was still on hold:
<blockquote>It's sort of in limbo. I think it was really pushing the limits of what the 2600 could do, especially with an RPG, and I think he was getting a little overwhelmed. He realized that all the work he had done {{--}} which was, you know, hours and hours and hours {{--}} amounted to like two percent of what the game would finally be. And so he just kinda freaked out.</blockquote>

On August 12, 2008, Slocum confirmed in [http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=642739&cid=24564745 a Slashdot comment] that development on the game had halted:
<blockquote>We had to abandon it, it was just too ambitious, and during the time that I was working on it my schedule was gradually getting more and more ridiculous. The display code for that RPG was pushing the Atari so hard, and so it was very delicate and became time-consuming to keep in balance. Most of the display, music, map-handling, and memory management was in place. But the battle system and overall RPG design were just getting started. I've had some people interested in the code for other 2600 RPG projects so something may still come out of it.
 
We still may release a H*R Atari 2600 game at some point -- we've talked about some other ideas that would be much more reasonable.</blockquote>

[[Image:ataridragon.png|frame|Atari Dragon a.k.a. Freakin' Duck]]
''From [[Main Page 13]]:''
<blockquote>'''STRONG BAD:''' Somebody get this freakin' duck away from me!''</blockquote>

The '''Atari Dragon''' is an 8-bit creature that has often been mistaken for a [[duck]]. The dragon comes from the [[Atari 2600]] game ''{{w|Adventure (1980 video game)|Adventure}}''. The objective of ''Adventure'' is to take a magic Chalice and place it in the starting castle ([[Strong Bad]] can actually be seen carrying this Chalice in [[Main Page 13]]). The three dragons in the actual game were yellow, green, and red; so, while the yellow dragon (whose name is "Yorgle") could be considered an actual character from the game, the white dragons seen in "Everybody to the Limit" could not.

== Appearances ==
*'''Debut:''' [[Main Page 13]] {{--}} [[Strong Bad]] yells "Somebody get this freakin' duck away from me!" when he is being chased by the Atari Dragon.
*[[Everybody to the Limit]] {{--}} It personifies [[Fhqwhgads]] on the subway.
*[[King of Town Main Page]] {{--}} Appears when "Game" is highlighted.
*Email [[high school]] (mentioned) {{--}} The [[Middle School Variation#Baby Strong Bad|middle school]] variation of Strong Bad proclaimed, "Aw man! That freakin' duck swallowed both my pixels!"
*[[Where's The Cheat? (game)]] {{--}} A "freakin duck" is an enemy that will either eat or be killed by the player, depending on whether or not the player has a [[Big Knives|big knife]]. However, the "freakin duck" eating the player or it being killed is not shown.
*Email [[fan club]] {{--}} The Atari Dragon, again personifying Fhqwhgads, appears on the flier for FHQWHfest '08.

=== Variations ===
* [[In Search of the Yello Dello Deleted Scene]] #1 — Homestar Runner, Pom Pom, and Strong Sad's airplane starts hitting birds in midair. Homestar Runner shouts, "Somebody get this freakin' duck away from me!"
* [[Main Page 27]] {{--}} Strong Bad runs from [[Trogdor]], once again yelling "Somebody get this freakin' duck away from me!"

I was thinking of getting the image from [[death metal]] during the video chat. This page is kind of blank, anyway. I can upload images, but have ''no'' idea how to actually get them out of the toon, save them, and upload them. Can someone (a) try to help me out with this and (b) try to get the image in the event that I can't? {{User:Teh_Frossty_One/sig}} 21:43, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Here's the 10 step meathod I've always used (I'm not sure if it'll work exactly the same way. I use Windows XP). Feel free to follow my simple, step by step instructions. I make uploading ''FUN!''

#Watch the toon.
#When you get to the part of the toon you want a pic of, press Alt+Print Screen.
#Open a paint program, such as MS Paint.
#Paste the image in. (Ctr+V)
#Save as a PNG. (File, Save, when it asks for the image title, look for a drop down box right below it, and choose PNG format)
#Go to the Wiki.
#On the toolbar (left side of the screen "always there" buttons) look for "Upload File". Click it.
#Browse for your file, and upload it.
#Add link to the image on the right page. <nowiki>[[Image:Imagename.PNG|thumb|Cool Caption]]</nowiki>
#Get yourself a Danish.

Don't forget, if you're looking for an image for a case like this, do a quick search around the wiki to see if there's an image that'll meet the needs, without uploading a new one. Hope that helps. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:52, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

:I know how to capture images, save them, and upload them, but how do you crop the images and stuff like that? I tried doing it once, and it came out all messed up. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 21:55, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
::You have to do it ''before'' you upload it. Like on MS Paint. {{User:Salty/sig}} 21:58, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
:::I know that. I tried it, but failed. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 21:59, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
::::If you're using MSPaint, just use the select tool (the dotted box thing) to select what you want to upload, and cut it (Ctrl-X) from the image. Open a new file (don't save the previous one), and paste it there (Ctrl-V). If you're using Photoshop, use a simpler graphic program for this job, like MSPaint (see above). -{{User:Stinkoman K/Sig}} 18:16, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't think Strong Sad's IM is still working. He is never on.

Wow, where did you guys find the [http://www.homestarrunner.com/auction.html Some Type of Online Auction] link?

== Characters? ==

I believe that "Apostroholics" does certainly not count as a character and should be deleted. "Thorax Corporation" is borderline for two reasons: a) it's really outside the H*R universe, but it has been mentioned in toons and b) it's a company, not a character, but the contact email does belong to a character.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:13, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
:Problem fixed itself, now that the page has been moved.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:27, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

== Senor Cardgage ==

Has anyone ever tried calling Senor Cardgage's number? It probably brings up this

'''OPERATOR:''' We're sorry. Your call could not go through. If you would like to make a call...

:That's great talk for the forum. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:21, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

== Marzipan ==

I didn't think that was her actual IM, the one that was in the email. Didn't Strong Bad make it up? Plus, later in the email she claims to not even know what a screen name is. Should that be in here? --[[User:Acam30|Acam30]] 12:04, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
:I checked this talk page to post exactly this same thing. Shouldn't her im be clarified with a "(Possible Strong Bad history revision)" or something? --{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 04:15, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

== Apostroholics? ==

If you look at Senor Cardgadge's 'work phone', you'll see that someone has provided the way it's shown and the way it would actually be, yet with the Apostroholics' nuber, it's just 1-800-APOSTROHOLICS. Should it be changed? {{User:Corruption/sig}} 23:46, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing over guitar music}'' I've been walking on clouds and flipping off rainbows, on the wiiiiings of an emaiiil...

''{Cut to a wide view of the desk. Strong Sad is standing to the right of Strong Bad with a classical guitar. Strong Bad turns to face him.}''

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

'''STRONG SAD:''' No prob, Bob.

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: alternate univer$e</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
Got some ?'s for you: 
1. What would you do with a hundred million dollars? 
2. What would you do if you suddenly found yourself in 
an alternate universe somehow? 
Jody (not a girl), TX
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "question marks" for "?'s", and "Number one" and "Number two" for "1." and "2.", respectively.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{says everything inside parentheses normally}'' Ya know, you could probably ditch that (not a girl) thing, if you just replaced it with something tough and cool and kool and tuff. Like (Bulldozer). Jody (Bulldozer). Nobody's gonna think that guy's a girl. ''{clears screen}'' Well Ms. Dozer, you pretty much answered question mark #1 ''{read "number one"}'' with question mark #2 ''{read "number two"}''. Cuz a hundred million dollars is exactly how much The Cheat spent on our alternate universe portal.

''{Cut to a wide view of the desk. The Cheat is standing to the right of the Lappy with a blender containing a [[Nintendo]] Game Boy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Isn't that right, The Cheat?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? This thing only cost us fourteen bucks?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well... that's like a hundred million dollars in... dog years, right?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leans towards The Cheat suddenly}'' All right! Mash go on that blender!

''{Camera zooms out a little as The Cheat presses a button on the blender. The blender shoots out white bolts as the lighting in the room flashes. Soon after, the blender stops with the Game Boy intact, and there is a large swirl to the right of the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh-ho-ho! Swirly Photoshop magic! I bet this thing could release some serious Cacodemons. So... ''{The Cheat turns to face Strong Bad}'' What? I{{--}}I just jump in?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leaning backwards}'' Ohbee Kaybee! ''{jumps off the stool and towards the swirl}'' Jump!

''{As soon as Strong Bad touches the swirl, everything except him and the swirl turns black and white. Strong Bad distorts horizontally and vertically, then "springs" into the swirl. Cut to a panel of a comic strip with a number of buildings drawn in it. A caption at the top of the panel reads "IN A BULDING..."}''

'''NARRATOR:''' In a bulding...

''{Camera shifts to the next panel, which shows an empty room. Strong Bad appears, with "VOIP!" appearing next to him briefly. While in the comic, everything Strong Bad says is also shown in a speech bubble.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Where am I?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in an action pose on a yellow background. Everything he says also appears in a speech bubble, and is not lip-synced.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{in large red text}'' STINY! ''{normal text}'' We have a visitor from an alternate universe!

''{Next panel. Strong Bad appears in the same room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking to the right}'' It's Strong Badman! And his well drawn abs! ''{looks to the left}'' But... why are we in a crappy apartment instead of a secret underground lair... ''{looks back to the right}'' ...filled with secret underground gadgets?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is shown from the chest up in front of a blue background.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' Because mere mortal... this apartment...

''{Next panel. Strong Badman appears in front of a red background with his arms in the air. A thunderclap can be heard in the background.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{speech bubble is large, yellow and pointy}'' ...IS RENT CONTROLLED! ''{next speech bubbles are regular}'' And... water's included.

''{Next panel. A kitchen and bathroom sink are shown with the faucets running. The bathroom tap has the word "FROSH!" next to it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Is that why all your faucets are running?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is standing in a room.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{each syllable appears individually in red text and is not in a speech bubble}'' MU-HU-HA-HA-HAH! ''{regular speech bubble and text}'' Those dimwits down at the public works won't know what hit them!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{walking in from left}'' So, that's your evil plan? To waste water?

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' And not pay for it!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I gotta tell ya, Strong Badman... this part of your comic is pretty boring. I'm gonna see what's going on further down the page. ''{jumps out of the current panel}'' Jump!

''{He falls down three panels. There is a woman with a big knife sitting on a giant robotic snake.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! Now we're talkin'!

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in the left of the panel, Strong Bad in the center, and there is a TV with the previous panel on it (minus Strong Bad) to the right.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' You're not kidding!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wha?

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' Now we have expanded basic cable...

''{Next panel. Close-up of a cable running through a hole in the wall.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{offscreen}'' Stolen from my neighbor!

''{Next panel. Strong Bad is in front of a yellow background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Who's writing this issue? The geniuses behind She-Hulk? ''{looks up}'' The Cheat?

''{Cut back to the Computer Room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice is slightly distorted, and a speech bubble appears from the swirl}'' A little frappe action, if you please.

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

''{The Cheat turns around and turns on the blender. Cut back to the previous comic panel. Strong Bad disappears with the same "VOIP!" with which he appeared.}''

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in the same pose as when he first appeared, but flipped around and with a green background.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{in large red text}'' STINY! ''{normal text}'' Keep flushing those toilets!

''{Cut to the Old-Timey stage. Old-Timey Strong Bad is standing on the stage with curtains behind him. To the left of him is a sign that reads "STRONG BAD and his GOODE-TIME PARLOR TRICKS". An audience can be seen silhouetted at the bottom of the screen.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes, and for my next parlor trick, I shan't make anything appear!

''{Strong Bad appears to the left of Old-Timey Strong Bad. He is still in color.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. H-hi.

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' ''{crowd starts booing}'' You brightly colored baboon! You've ruined my vaudeville!

''{The Homestar Runner's dance music plays as tomatoes are thrown at the two Strong Bads.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah! Shades of gray tomatoes!

''{Strong Bad disappears as Old-Timey Strong Bad looks to the left.}''

''{Cut to Vector Strong Bad floating above a vector field. Strong Bad appears to the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is up, my enormous vector brother?

''{As Vector Strong Bad speaks, his words come out of his mouth in red vector-style text. They disappear after a short while.}''

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' HELLOTE

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, uh... ''{cut to close-up of Strong Bad}'' what do you do for fun around here? ''{cut back to previous view}''

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' I SPLO STUFF UP

''{Strong Bad jumps backwards slightly to avoid the "UP", which promptly explodes with vector graphics.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, that's pretty cool.

''{Stinkoman walks in from the left.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Hey, guys! How's challenges?

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' WHAT IT IS MY DOGE?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, you two know each other?

''{Cut to close-up of Stinkoman.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{smiles}'' Oh, totally sure! ''{leans forward and waves one of his arms}'' He's my training simulator!

''{Cut back to previous view.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Check it out!

''{Vector Strong Bad starts moving left and right, shooting squares from his mouth. Stinkoman jumps around and dodges the squares. Strong Bad also jumps over and around the squares, but appears to have more difficulty doing so. Game music from [[video games]] plays. After a few seconds, they all stop.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Nice work, big nose!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Big nose?

'''STINKOMAN:''' Your nose!

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' LEVEL 2

'''STINKOMAN AND STRONG BAD:''' Uh-oh.

''{Stinkoman silently laughs as Vector Strong Bad shoots a series of squares directly at Strong Bad. As they explode, Strong Bad disappears. Vector Strong Bad then shoots some squares at Stinkoman, which he dodges.}''

''{Cut to a field in the style of [[flashback]]. Tiny Handed Strong Bad is standing close to the camera. Strong Bad appears to the right. All text appears in a white rectangle near the bottom of the screen.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' And so, ''{Strong Bad starts looking around}'' both Strong Bads entered the 'Dig To China With Your Ears Contest.'

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is just about...the second or third to worst contest I ever heard of.

''{Cut to a silhouetted view of the field. Pom Pom, Strong Mad, Coach Z, Bubs and Marzipan are standing to the right of a banner which reads "the contest began!!". Tiny Handed Strong Bad is underneath the banner.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' The contest began!

''{Cut to a close-up of Tiny Handed Strong Bad rubbing his head on the ground near a line marked "start".}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' And tiny-handed Strong Bad rubbed his head on the ground... ''{cut to a wide view; Strong Bad is sitting on a hammock with his Dangeresque sunglasses on.}'' while our Modern Day Hero maxed and relaxed.

''{Cut to Tiny Handed Strong Bad standing near the camera again, as in the first shot. A hole is visible near the background, and a giant glass of root beer appears in the center.}''

'''TINY HANDED STRONG BAD:''' I struck it rich!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Said T.H.S.B.

''{Cut to a zoomed out view of the previous scene, but with the giant glass of root beer in the center. The Fat Bee is seen holding Strong Bad's hammock up.}''

'''TINY HANDED STRONG BAD:''' A giant mug of frosty root beer!

''{Old-Timey Strong Bad appears to the left in a bathing suit. Tiny Handed Strong Bad looks at him.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Zounds! A sarsparilla swimming hole! Last one in's a freemason! ''{he half-runs toward the root beer and jumps in}'' Jump! ''{this last word does not appear in a subtitle}''

''{Strong Bad disappears. Casio Head Strong Bad appears at the bottom left of the screen and dances while playing a tune. Tiny Handed Strong Bad turns his head toward him.}''

''{Cut to a screen in the style of Puppet Stuff. Puppet Strong Bad is standing in front of the Strong Badia fence. The Tire and Stop Sign are visible. Strong Bad appears to the right. Music starts playing and both Strong Bads dance in sync with each other. After a moment, Strong Bad disappears again.}''

''{Cut to Da Huuuuuudge's Enclosure. Strong Bad appears lying down on top of it. He slowly slides down, then disappears.}''

''{Cut to the abandoned factory from [[high school]]. Teenage Strong Bad is standing to the right. Strong Bad appears to the left.}''

'''TEENAGE STRONG BAD:''' Stripèd pants.

''{Strong Bad disappears. Cut to the interdimensional void, which changes colors constantly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice slightly distorted}'' The Cheat! Cool out on the liquefy button, man!

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar standing next to the blender in the Computer Room. The blender still contains the Game Boy, but now also contains a green substance. One and a half avocados are sitting on the desk, along with a jar that reads "[[Total Load]]". Homestar is pressing buttons on the blender.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm trying to make me a real fruit smoothie here!

''{Cut to a wide shot. Tiny Handed Strong Bad is standing to the left, with Senor Cardgage, Old-Timey Strong Bad and Da Huuuuuudge to the right.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Any of you guys got any bee pollen?

''{As Homestar presses another button, Strong Bad appears next to the portal and Strong Badman appears on the left side of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar! Quit messing with my alternate universe portal!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{slowly}'' I'm trying to replenish some electrolytes, if you don't mind!

''{Homestar presses another button on the blender. He and the portal both suddenly disappear, and Sterrance appears on the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking around}'' Wow. Just look at all these Strong Bad-related faces. What an all-star cast! What say we all form a supergroup and record a number one jam?

''{All of the Strong Bad clones groan.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{off-screen, simultaneously with Old-Timey Strong Bad}'' I guess...

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously with Stinkoman}'' If we must.

''{The screen fades to black, and then cuts to Strong Bad in the recording studio. Some music starts playing, and continues through the rest of the email.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' There's a crazy world of emails in this crazy world. ''{Cut to a reversed view of Strong Bad.}'' Checkin' 'em down, checkin' 'em down...

''{Cut to Stinkoman standing next to Strong Badman and Old-Timey Strong Bad.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{singing}'' I hope it's from a girrrrrrrl! 

''{Old-Timey Strong Bad winces and looks toward Stinkoman on his last word. Cut to a zoomed out view of the scene, revealing (from left to right), Stinkoman, Strong Badman, Old-Timey Strong Bad, Strong Bad, Vector Strong Bad, Casio Head Strong Bad, Senor Cardgage, Teenage Strong Bad, Sterrance and Tiny Handed Strong Bad. Strong Badman's words appear in speech bubbles next to him.}''

'''ALL STRONG BADS:''' ''{singing}'' Save the last email for Strong Bad!

''{Cut to Senor Cardgage at the recording studio.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' ''{singing}'' Let the little children go.

''{Cut to Vector Strong Bad in the field, which now has blue lines running above and below it.}''

''{The music stops. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:coachzeyeballpearhomestar.PNG|thumb|"I'm not at liberty to discuss what I just did in my pants!"]]
*At the end, click on Teenage Strong Bad's hat to see a creation of Strong Sad's ideas from [[Sbemail 150?!?]]:
:''{Piano music, fade in on Coach Z holding a pear covered with eyeballs while black coffee continually streams down his mouthless face. Cut to a close-up of the pear with its eyes googling, then to another shot of the pear from behind Coach Z with his arm raised higher. Then cut to a close-up of Coach Z's head. Fade via black to the original shot. Homestar appears next to Coach Z.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{subtitled, in a fake backwards-sounding voice}'' Coach Z, if you're not going to eat that eyeball pear... ''{clears his throat, starts talking normally with no subtitles}'' I suggest you give it to someone who will.
:'''COACH Z:''' ''{distressed}'' I don't know what's going on, Homestar, but I'm not at liberty to discuss what I just did in my pants!

*At the end, click on Senor Cardgage's head to see Strong Bad's meeting with him:
:''{Senor Cardgage is sitting in a boat on a lake, holding a stick with fishing line tied to the end, hanging over the side. Strong Bad appears in the boat.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow, a fishing trip with Senor Cardgage! My life is complete.
:'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Alonzo Mourning to you, Myrtlebeth. Say hello to my tacklebox. ''{holds up said tacklebox}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hello there, tacklebox. ''{smiles}'' I'm such a big fan.
:'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Well, if you could just sign right here on the dotty line, the adaption will be complete.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''You're'' gonna adopt me?
:''{Strong Bad disappears}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen and echoing slightly}'' Aw, man!

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*Strong Bad's conversion of fourteen dollars into [[Wikipedia:Aging in dogs|dog years]] refers to the often-confused (and inaccurate) folk formula that dogs age seven "years" for every human year.
*[[Wikipedia:Rent control|Rent control]] is a policy used in some urban communities where the market price is deemed too high. Rent controlled dwellings are highly coveted in the communities where they are available.
*[[Wikipedia:Vaudeville|Vaudeville]] is a style of multi-act theatre that flourished in North America from the 1880s to the 1920s, later succeeded by silent movies. Acts included anything from acrobats to mathematicians and from song-and-dance duos to trick high divers.
*[[Wikipedia:Sarsaparilla|Sarsaparilla]] (spelled incorrectly as "sarsparilla" in the flashback scene) is a type of plant used to make beverages, and is a common ingredient in [[Wikipedia:Root Beer|root beer]]. It is more commonly pronounced "sass-parilla" than "sar-sparilla" or "sar-sa-parilla". It is also commonly misspelled "sasparilla".
*A freemason is a member of a fraternal men's organization such as the [[Wikipedia:York Rite|York Rite]] or the [[Wikipedia:Scottish Rite|Scottish Rite]]. Other organizations permitting women and/or minors as members (including [[Wikipedia:DeMolay International|DeMolay]], [[Wikipedia:Job's Daughters International|Job's Daughters]], [[Wikipedia:Order of the Eastern Star|Eastern Star]]) fall under the umbrella of [[Wikipedia:freemasonry|freemasonry]], etc.
*[[Wikipedia:Bee pollen|Bee pollen]] is a ball or pellet of flower pollen gathered by honeybees. It contains many nutrients and is sold as a health supplement, where it can be added to foods such as smoothies or oatmeal.
*[[Wikipedia:Electrolyte|Electrolytes]] are solutions of [[Wikipedia:Ion|ions]] (such as sodium and potassium salts) that are lost during [[Wikipedia:perspiration|perspiration]]. Drinks containing electrolytes, such as popular sports drinks, are often used to ease [[Wikipedia:Dehydration|dehydration]].
*A [[Wikipedia:Supergroup (music)|supergroup]] is a musical group comprising artists who were previously members of earlier, well-known groups.
**This email parodies such supergroups as [[Wikipedia:USA for Africa|USA for Africa]] or [[Wikipedia:Band Aid (band)|Band-Aid]], which featured unusually large amounts of members.
*A [[Wikipedia:Doppelgänger|Doppelgänger]] refers either to a creature from folklore that mimics people's appearances as an omen of death, or to the theory that everyone in the world has someone else that looks exactly like them.
*[[Photoshop|Adobe Photoshop]] is a widely used image editor from Adobe Systems Incorporated. The term "[[Wikipedia:Photoshopping|Photoshopped]]" has come to mean any digital edit done to an image, even if it wasn't done in Photoshop itself. The term is often used pejoratively to say that something is rather obviously edited.
*Stinkoman calls Strong Bad "big nose", a derogatory term used in eastern Asia to describe Westerners, whose noses tend to be genetically larger than Asians'. This is also a reference to the anime art style, where noses are less pronounced than most American cartoons, as well as to the fact that Strong Bad has no apparent nose.

===Trivia===
*This email [[Strong Bad Email By Length|was the longest email]] when released, almost a full minute longer than [[flashback]] (previously the longest). However, it has since been surpassed by [[retirement]], which has itself been surpassed by [[parenting]].
*When Strong Bad jumps down several panels in the Strong Badman comic, he passes a panel containing an explosion (with the word "TADAOW!"), and another panel with [[Strong Badman Characters#Deutschman|Deutschman]] (from [[haircut]]) holding a chain of sausages. Deutschman is saying "KINDER UBERRASCHUNG!!", the German name for {{wp|Kinder Surprise}} (though "Uberraschung" should be spelled "Überraschung").
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#weird dreams|weird dreams]]".
*This is the first time Stinkoman has been seen smiling without laughing.
*This is the first time Da Huuuuuudge's voice is heard.
*This marks the second time in which characters from at least two different universes come together in one universe. The first time was in [[20X6 vs. 1936]], in which The Homestar Runner shows up on [[Planet K]].
*When the portal appears, along the side of it, there is some pixel disruption, where the individual pixels can be seen.
*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Strong Bad visits alternate universes with his new alternate portal device."

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad has [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Strong Bad's Nose|no visible nose]] [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Ears|or ears]], despite the fact that those body parts were mentioned in this email.
*Senor Cardgage is the only one of Strong Bad's alter egos who had been seen talking with him prior to this email, as seen in [[kind of cool]], [[garage sale]], and [[Senorial Day]].
*This is a rare occasion of [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship#Strong Bad and Strong Sad Getting Along|Strong Bad being nice to Strong Sad]].
*In [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], Strong Sad is seen writing with his right hand. In this email, Strong Sad is playing the [[Strong Sad's Guitar|guitar]] [[Left Handedness|left-handed]]. This may suggest that Strong Sad is ambidextrous.
*When Strong Bad types "Well, Ms. Dozer" he types Ms. (pronounced 'miz', used by both married and single women) but pronounces it 'miss', which is the form of address for unmarried women.
*If every dollar was a "dog year", then according to the [[Wikipedia:Dog years|popular formula]], the money would still only sum up to ninety-eight dollars.
**Conversely, if Strong Bad were correct, each "dollar in dog years" would be worth over $70,000.
*Frappé is spelled as "Frappe" when Strong Bad talks to The Cheat. It is lacking the acute accent.
*During the Vector Strong Bad segment, the cartoon's border changes to red.
*When the mug of root beer appears, the hole is under the hammock; before, it was beside the hammock.
*Homestar pronounces the word "fruit" without his usual [[Homestar Runner Without his Speech Impediment|speech impediment]].
*Not all Strong Bad versions at the time of the email's release were included; the following are missing: 
**[[Super NES]] version
**[[Powered By the Cheat]] version
**[[The Reddest Radish]] version
**[[Lil' Strong Bad]]
**[[Baby Strong Bad]]
**[[Atari Strong Bad]]
**[[Free Petry Dish, USA Variation#Strongbadiophage|Strongbadiophage]]
**[[Made-Up Strong Bad Animals]] (except Sterrance and Da Huuuuuudge)
**[[Senor Muybueno]]
**[[The Castlefunnies]] Strong Bad
*When everyone sings "Save the last email for Strong Bad", Strong Badman's words appear in a speech bubble, but Vector Strong Bad's words do not appear in text as they always otherwise do.
*In the same scene, the wall's grey spot pattern is made from a single image of dots copied and pasted multiple times. This results in some half dots appearing between the copied images.
*In the recording studio, the characters use wireless microphones. While wireless microphones are handy in live performance (to prevent signal loss on a long cable run, as well as to avoid tangling of cables), they are actually rarely used in studio work because cabled microphones deliver truer fidelity.
*The puppet Strong Bad is the only doppelgänger Strong Bad visited that did not appear in the ending screen.
*As Coach Z moves his head during his line in the Black Lodge Easter egg scene, the way the coffee dripping from the bottom of his head is animated makes it look as though the coffee breaks the rules of gravity; it seems to be dripping at an angle.
*In the Easter egg with Senor Cardgage, when Strong Bad disappears, his voice can still be heard even though he is probably far away from where Senor Cardgage is.
*Though Vector Strong Bad's phrase "What it is, my doge?" is supposed to be a bad translation, the word "doge" is an actual word. It refers to a medieval Italian equivalent of a duke.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Altuniv1318-1319.png|thumb|Because, mere mortal, the panels...CHANGE COLORS!]]
*At the beginning of the email, Strong Bad's reflection is out of sync with his movements.
*After cutting to the wide shot showing The Cheat with the blender, the Lappy's screen includes the text "Isn't that right, The Cheat?", even though Strong Bad didn't actually type it.
*When Strong Bad first jumps into the alternate universe portal, his stool disappears briefly while he's in the process of warping. It briefly reappears after Strong Bad leaves, but for the remainder of the email, the stool is missing.
*During the comic scene, the panel below the one after "Because, mere mortal..." has a blue background at first. When it moves to the next panel ("Is rent controlled!"), the background changes to green.
*Several times during the email, Strong Bad's pants change color from black to dark navy (although the pant legs remain the same color), such as the first scene with Vector Strong Bad and the recording session at the end.
[[Image:Alternateuniversegoof.png|thumb|And so both Strong Bads entered the "find the missing start line contest".]]
*In the "Dig to China with your ears contest" part, the starting line disappears when the camera cuts to the giant mug of root beer.

*In the "Save The Last Email" song, Vector Strong Bad is behind Strong Badman, yet his white and green lines appear above Strong Badman when talking/singing.
*Stinkoman does not have any shine on his chest. This also happened in [[Happy Trogday]], prior to this toon.
*At the end, Strong Bad is missing a layer of black from his pants, making them purple.
*Strong Bad's face is his seventh design instead of the current one when he says thanks to Strong Sad, and also before he jumps into the portal to meet Strong Badman.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When the email was released, "girl" was misspelled as "gir" in Jody's email. This was fixed shortly thereafter.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad's intro song refers to flipping [[the bird]].
*Strong Sad was previously seen playing an acoustic guitar in a [[Sketchbook 2006#SK-2006-03-02|Sketchbook]] entry, although that guitar was a twelve-string. Here, he plays a six-string classical guitar.
[[Image:HSRTimeMachine.PNG|thumb|Homestar's Time machine]]
*The alternate dimension machine is a [[Blender#Game Boy in a Blender|Game Boy in a Blender]]. In [[2 emails]], Homestar claims to have made a [[time machine]] by sticking a Game Boy in a [[blender]] while the email is fast-forwarding.
*This is another example of [[mashing]].
*The "In a bulding"  line, including its accent and pronunciation, is straight from the [[Sketchbook (video)|DVD Sketchbook]] (though it was spelled correctly there).
*The woman on Strong Badman's television is holding a [[Big Knives|big knife]].
*"Doge" is a reference to [[Biz Cas Fri 1]], where Homestar misspells the word "[[my dog|dog]]" ("dawg") the same way.
*Strong Bad comments that the "Dig To China With Your Ears Contest" is the "second or third to worst contest I ever heard of." The worst contests that originated in children's storybooks are likely to be the "Strongest Man in the World Contest" from the [[Original Book]], and the "Ten Step Footrace" from [[flashback]].

*The fence used for the puppet Strong Badia set is the same one used in [[Homestar vs. Other Little Girl]].
*This is another appearance of the [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] sunglasses.
*Strong Bad previously mentioned "real fruit smoothies" in [[mascot]], saying that he had promised to buy some for the team if they won the game.
*Homestar Runner's "real fruit smoothie" is another example of a [[concoction]].
*Stinkoman's line in the song "I hope it's from a girl" is a possible reference to the [[Strong Bad Email Intros|email song]] in [[dragon]] ("Every week I hope that it's from a female!").
*Strong Bad visits many previous emails in his travels:
**Strong Badman, his well-drawn abs and Stiny originated in [[superhero name]].
**Deutschman originated in [[haircut]].
**Vector Strong Bad is from [[video games]].
**Stinkoman originated in [[japanese cartoon]].
**Tiny-handed Strong Bad is from [[flashback]].
**Casio Head Strong Bad originated in [[crazy cartoon]] and played the same song then as in this email. 
**Da Huuuuuudge and Sterrance are both from [[animal]].
**Teenage Strong Bad and the term "stripèd pants" are from [[high school]].
**Senor Cardgage originated in [[kind of cool]].
*In addition, some of the music accompanying the scenes Strong Bad visits are also reused from other parts of the website. They include:
**The music from [[action figure]]; later used in [[suntan]] and [[army]] (during the Strong Badman scene).
**Old-Timey Strong Bad's theme music from [[Parsnips A-Plenty]]; later used in [[50 emails]] (during the Old-Timey scene).
**[[The Homestar Runner]]'s dance music (also during the Old-Timey scene).
**The synthesized drum tune from [[Main Page 21]] (during the [[Vector Field]] scene).
**The music from [[flashback]] (during the [[Original Book]] scene).
**Casio Head Strong Bad's demo music from [[crazy cartoon]].
**The music during Coach Z's dream scene from [[A Jorb Well Done]]; later used in [[lures & jigs]] (during the fishing Easter egg scene with Senor Cardgage).
**The music during Strong Sad's storyboard scenes from [[Sbemail 150?!?]] (during the Coach Z Easter egg).
*The Easter egg with coffee-drenched Coach Z and the eyeball pear begins exactly as described and storyboarded by Strong Sad in [[Sbemail 150?!?]].
**The word ''sesquicentenn-email'', ("150th email"; literally "150-year email"), was also coined by Strong Sad in Sbemail 150?!?.
*The fishing boat, lake and background sounds are all from [[lures & jigs]].
*The word "VOIP" is a reference to the [[Visor Robot]]'s sound effect from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].
*In the fishing trip scene, [[Strong Bad Smiling|Strong Bad smiles]].
*Homestar's first line in the Easter egg is an unusual example of [[reversed dialogue]].

=== Real-World References ===
*Cacodemons are monstrous demons seen in the ''[[Doom]]'' series of video games. The concept for the first game centers around teleportation experiments opening a portal to hell.
*The pronunciation "ohbee kaybee" for "okay" was frequently said by the character Mushmouth on the cartoon ''[[Bill Cosby|Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids]]''.
*The [[font]] in the comic book alternative universe, known as "Peanuts", was designed to emulate the style of lettering used in the ''[[Peanuts]]'' comics.
*[[Wikipedia:She-Hulk|She-Hulk]] is a comic book heroine from [[Marvel]] Comics and the cousin of ''[[Wikipedia:Hulk (comics)|The Incredible Hulk]]''. Created by Stan Lee and John Buscema in 1980, She-Hulk is noted as being one of the last characters Lee created for Marvel.
**Coincidentally, ''She-Hulk'' comics were once noted for their [[fourth wall breaks]], similar to Strong Bad's comments on the quality of the Strong Badman comic and his ability to travel from panel to panel. In the commentary, the Brothers Chaps state they were not aware of this when writing the email.
*The phrase "maxed and relaxed" may be a reference to the ''[[Wikipedia:The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air|Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]'' theme song, in which [[Wikipedia:Will Smith|Will Smith]] states he is "maxin' and relaxin' all cool". Additionally, Smith uses the phrase throughout the series and his own raps.
*The surreal Coach Z Easter egg is an homage to a famous scene from the similarly surreal TV series ''Twin Peaks''. The background for the scene featured red drapes, and the starring character, Dale Cooper, spills coffee on himself, represented here by Coach Z's streaming hat of coffee. The unusual speech used by Homestar, meanwhile, was the hallmark of the scene; the actors actually spoke their dialogue backwards, and the recording was then played in reverse, so that the words were heard by the audience in their proper order (though they still sounded unusual and contorted, just as Homestar sounds here). It seems as though Matt Chapman faked this technique, rather than actually recording his lines backwards. ''Twin Peaks'' was co-created by director [[David Lynch]], whom Strong Sad cited as an influence in [[Sbemail 150?!?]]. Additionally, the phrase "I'm not at liberty to discuss [...]" is a direct lift from the lines of Major Garland Brigs, a character on Twin Peaks, who is often unable to talk about what he does for a living.
*[[Wikipedia:Alonzo Mourning|Alonzo Mourning]] is an NBA basketball player.
*The [[sound effect]] in the fishing Easter egg that starts right after Strong Bad says "Wow, a fishing trip with Senor Cardgage!" is from ''[[Wikipedia:Fishing with John|Fishing With John]]''.



=== Fast Forward ===
*The Total Load was seen again in [[Homestar Ruiner]].
*Marzipan would later use "Kinder Überraschung" as an insult in [[Doomy Tales of the Macabre]].
*A similar backwards-sounding-voice scene (featuring [[Homsar]]) would occur in an Easter egg in [[Haunted Photo Booth]], due to Strong Bad dressing up as Bob from Twin Peaks.
*Strong Bad would record another "number one jam," this time with Coach Z, in [[Fish Eye Lens]].
*Strong Badman's appearance "in a bulding" would later be parodied in {{prs|1534171416618274818|7|Jun|2022|alt=a @StrongBadActual Tweet}} featuring [[Strong Badman Characters#Baad Mamdia|an AI-generated variation of Strong Badman]] "ima bumldeen" yelling at Stiny.

== DVD Version ==
*[[Alternate Universe Video|Video of Matt singing]] the song from the email is included as a separate Easter egg.
*When Strong Bad meets his puppet double, the scene is shown is closeup. The quality is lower than usual, since most DVD releases of Puppet Stuff have the quality improved.

'''MATT:''' Uh, Game Boy in a blender, Mike, so that's a reference to{{--}} What email is that? The one where Strong Bad fast{{--}} The one where he fast forwards. 2 emails?

'''MIKE:''' 2 emails.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Look at that!

'''MATT:''' Whoa!

'''MIKE:''' Look at that portal!

'''MATT:''' Oh, Stinkoman. And to the right!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Your nose.

'''MATT:''' Uh... Oh, look out, Stinkoman. ''{pause}'' Uh... There he goes, rubbin' his head on the ground. He's wearing his Dangerask shades.

'''MIKE:''' Dangerask shades.

'''MATT:''' Dangeresque.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it's like, sort of like danger.

'''MATT:''' What?

'''MIKE:''' Dangeresque. It's means sort of like danger.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I was saying Dangerask. That's why I corrected myself. Oh, look, there's Casio head Strong Bad. Oh, look, now, he's in the real world, and in a real Strong Badia.

'''MIKE:''' That's in the next room.

'''MATT:''' It is.

'''MIKE:''' It's where we play video games.

'''MATT:''' Mmm hmm. ''{laughs}'' That's all that Strong Bad talks about, is stripèd pants. ''{referring to the vitamin bottle behind Homestar}'' Total Load! Do you think our brother still has some Total Load somewhere in his house. He used to get Ultra-Fuel.

'''MIKE:''' And we're sitting in a room with ceiling tiles on the wall just like that!

'''MATT:''' It's true. ''{laughs}'' Old-Timey Strong Bad did not like that high note Stinkoman tried to hit. Sterrence is not singing.

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' This is a pretty good song. I like that, uh, guitar going in the background.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

Talk:Trogdor!! The Board Game Rulebook EP

2026-07-02T03:43:47Z

DorianGray: Reverted edits by 91.211.90.170 (Talk) to last revision by DorianGray

==Brainkrieg lyrics==

There's still a few words I don't understand before we can remove the stub section from the lyrics page: The second change to the refrain of "Trogdor's Fiery Rage". I think it might be "fly with the cards", but that doesn't feel right. The lyrics as I hear them are below - note the '''???'''s. - [[User:Portmanteauxses|Portmanteauxses]]

'''BRAINKRIEG:''' ''{singing}'' 
So you lost the game 
Well that's really lame 
But Troggie's got a fire 
That cannot be contained!

Trogdor's Fiery Rage! (Draw five cards!) 
Trogdor's Fiery Rage! ('''???''') 
Trogdor's Fiery Rage! (Draw five cards!) 
Trogdor's Fiery Rage!

He gets wraparound 
Burns everything down 
Just by touching it 
Except the archer lives

Trogdor's Fiery Rage! (Draw five cards!) 
Trogdor's Fiery Rage! ('''???''') 
Trogdor's Fiery Rage! (Draw five cards!) 
Trogdor's Fiery Rage!

''{spoken}'' Deck of cards! 
Jugga jigga wugga.

== Individual Pages ==

The page is a bit long and cluttered, and it will just become more confusing as more music videos are released. I think individual pages should be made for each song, similar to [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]]. That way, this page will become more concise and clear, and whenever a song gets a video, we can just add the video information to the song's page. The song and the video would be covered on the same page, à la [[These peoples try to fade me]], so no "(video)" would be needed in the title. The lyrics would be transcribed [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once|Once and Only Once]]. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 22:15, 29 April 2019 (UTC)
:I'm in favor. [[Special:Contributions/71.234.175.43|71.234.175.43]] 21:02, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
::So am I. That'd be a good idea. {{User:SRMX12/sig}} 22:59, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
:::[[These peoples try to fade me]] has the video and the song on the same page because the audio for the video and the song are both the same, which makes having a visuals page easy. Currently both of the music videos released for the EP have additional segments that differentiate them from their EP counterparts, which I think warrants them having separate "(video)" pages. (or possibly "(music video)" in the case of "Trogdor's Fiery Rage" since otherwise it could be [[Six-Sadded, Die. - Trogdor's Fiery Rage|ambiguous]].) The songs could probably be given their own pages since [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits|the other album we have a page on]] does the same. {{User:DEIDATVM/sig}} 14:30, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
::::Yeah, that's a good point. I agree. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 18:43, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
:::::So should I create the pages? {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 00:23, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
::::::Why specifically you? {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 01:06, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
:::::::Because no one else seems to be doing it? No objections here. {{User:SRMX12/sig}} 01:44, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
::::::::What SRMX12 said. I was planning on doing it anyway, but it occured to me that I should ask first, just in case. And now it's done! {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 02:00, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

==Styles==
Can someone fill in the "Style" sections on the song pages? I did a few of them, but I'm not very good at genres. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 05:48, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
:I also added a few, and left a few:
:*[[The Actions You Can Do]]: Completely stumped on this one. [[Secret Song]] is similar in terms of instrumentation, but that's labeled a "Love Song", which is a classification unrelated to instrumentation and which doesn't really fit here.
:*[[Peasant Spawning (Is Confusion)]]: The genre sounds familiar but it's on the tip of my tongue.
:*[[Don't Forget to Recharge]]: I feel like I'd call this the "default Homestar genre" of music but I'm not sure if I can give a name to that genre.
:*[[Trogdor's Fiery Rage (song)|Trogdor's Fiery Rage]]: [[Brainkrieg]] seems snarled in classification between "death metal", "grunge", "hardcore punk", and there's even a page that calls it "stoner rock". Unfortunately I don't know enough about those genres to definitively classify it.
:{{User:DEIDATVM/sig}} 15:05, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

==Merge Video and Visuals==
Right now, the songs with music videos are transcribed twice. Once on the song page, and once on the video page. I think that, instead of transcribing the songs on the video pages, we should put the visuals table there. That way, it would follow [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once|OAOO]]. I think three pages for one song is kind of redundant. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 05:48, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
:On the same topic, I've been debating with myself whether or not I should go back and change the visuals-style [[Skills of an Artist]] transcripts for traditional ones, just for consistency. Visuals for music videos usually go on a separate page because they're not easy to transcribe traditionally. Do we have precedent on songs with videos? -- [[Special:Contributions/68.37.43.131|68.37.43.131]] 14:20, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
::As far as I can tell, we do: [[Moving Very Slowly (video)]], [[It's Like It Was Meant to Be]] (also a video page), and [[Secret Song (video)]] all just transcribe the visuals in their respective pages without using a visuals chart, keeping [[Moving Very Slowly|the]] [[It's like it was meant to be|song]] [[Secret Song|pages]] separate. All the [[KaraokeFun]] pages don't seem to transcribe visuals at all for some reason—except [[Rock Opera (karaoke)]] which puts them into the main [[Rock Opera Visuals]] page for [[rock opera|the original sbemail]]. If the visuals for these new ones can be transcribed in the same manner then I'd say it's reasonable to follow the precedent of the former three. [[Trogdor's Fiery Rage (video)|Trogdor's Fiery Rage]] has simple enough visuals that it could probably be transcribed on the same page but I'm not sure about [[Quickstart Overview (video)|Quickstart Overview]]. {{User:DEIDATVM/sig}} 16:46, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
:::Perhaps this might be a good discussion to have in the ''[[HRWiki talk:Standards|Wiki Standards talk page]]'' for possible inclusion as a standard? (If we want to have a standard way to handle visuals.) ==[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:01, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
::Speaking of precedent, the other two Brainkreig songs have [[If I Don't Get Video Games... Visuals|visuals]] [[Decomposing Pumpkins Visuals|pages]], so Trogor's Fiery Rage can do the same. For a music video like Quickstart Overview, I think about how we did [[Rap Song Visuals|Rap Song]] and [[Trudgemank Visuals|Trudgemank]], where only the lyrics were transcribed and the visuals went on a separate page. That's how I think, anyway. The thing is that the songs DEIDATVM cited started as audio tracks first and the music video came separately later, just like the Trogdor EP, so we have separate pages for those. So I figure our standards should have a separate visuals page for each music video. -- [[Special:Contributions/68.37.43.131|68.37.43.131]] 20:46, 19 May 2019 (UTC)
:::The examples you cited, in my opinion, don't really work as precedents. It seems like you're looking at other songs with the same artists/genres for comparison, but they don't have separate song and video pages like these do, so it's not a fair comparison. ''These'' songs are transcribed twice, and I'm saying one of those times is unnecessary and can be replaced with visuals (in a chart or otherwise). I agree with DEIDATVM — we should probably follow the precedents of the first three he mentioned.
:::Also, I don't think a Wiki Standards discussion is necessary, since we already have a standard way to handle visuals. For music videos, we put them in a chart on a separate page, and for audio songs with videos created later, we put the visuals on the video page (which is what I'm suggesting). {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 00:40, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
::::{{p|l=http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=HRWiki:Sandbox&oldid=783774 This is what I'm suggesting}}. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 18:24, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
:::::Now that there are three videos, let's resume the discussion. I don't see any drawbacks to putting the visuals right on the video page. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 22:34, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
::::::I'll reiterate my support for the visuals to be transcribed on the video's page, though I'm undecided on the table format. {{User:DEIDATVM/sig}} 02:36, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
:::::::I went ahead and made the changes. As noted above, there is precedent for including visuals on the video's page if a separate song page exists, and there's no reason to transcribe the lyrics twice. I'm indifferent to the table format, so if anyone wants to rewrite the visuals in standard transcript format, go ahead. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 03:50, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

I thought this album should have a template of its own to match [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]]. On {{t|KickstarterVideos}}, then, we could just have a single link to [[Trogdor!! The Board Game Rulebook EP]] in a "music" section, along with [[Trogdor Was A Man|Trogdor Was Dragon Man]]. Thoughts? {{User:Lira/sig}} 01:38, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
:Well, the template sure looks nice and clean, and it's a nice way to organize all those pages all tightly and neatly. I say go for it, and tuck it on the bottom of every page linked on it. -- [[Special:Contributions/68.37.43.131|68.37.43.131]] 02:18, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
::I did slightly prefer the change made to the Strong Bad Sings template, so I'm leaning in favor of this too. Regarding {{t|KickstarterVideos}}, perhaps the three EP videos could remain on the template, since they still adhere to the "Videos" title? {{User:DEIDATVM/sig}} 02:36, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
:::I agree (with both Lira and DEIDATVM). {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 02:56, 26 October 2019 (UTC)
::::I agree with all of you! By which I mostly mean myself and DEIDATVM. I'll go do it. I decided on the colors in the template rather hastily, so that's open to rethinking. {{User:Lira/sig}} 03:40, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Aside from not actually appearing on the deleted scenes menu, it differs from the other deleted scenes in several other ways, most notably that it's not really a "deleted" scene, as it is actually a scene from the toon itself. Additionally, its intro has a different font, background, and watch button from the others, and no title text.

Differences: Strong Bad's mouth isn't visible in the reflection when he sings the email intro. The announcer on the TV [[Strong Mad]] is watching doesn't say "Some type of TV show." The background music stops at [[Strong Sad]]'s scene. Some extra buzz saw blades and a bottle of hot sauce behind Strong Bad are gone in [[Marzipan]]'s scene. The Cheat doesn't yell at Strong Bad, and Pom Pom does one less turn. Strong Bad isn't holding a bottle of hot sauce in [[Homsar]]'s scene. The [[font]] used in the Hot Fries packaging is Ashbury instead of Aurora BdCn BT. At the end, Strong Bad says the word "fans" a little differently. This version was accidentally made publicly available in place of the normal version following the [[Post-Flash Site Update]] before a Twitter user {{prs|1345077569629126662|01|Jan|2021|alt=pointed out the mistake in 2021}}.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in monotone}'' This email is leaving the station. Please move to the center of the email, and away from the doors.

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: a sticky question...</div>
Dear Strong bad, 
I have recently been wondering about the origin of the 
stick. Has it always been a good place for hanging out and 
making rendezvous? 
 
Luke, Eau Claire, WI</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad tries to pronounce the plural of 'rendezvous' as '[[Foreign Words|rendezvouuuu-ses]]?', and the bottom line as 'Luke{{--}} eww...Claire...why?'}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Ugh! Why do you Van Peebles always wanna know the origins and histories of every freakin' little thing? Like, do you wanna know how Strong Sad got his belly button, too?

''{Cut to a young Strong Bad. A hanging banner reads 'Happy Birthday Lil Strong Bad'. Strong Bad has a black shirt with a yellow truck on it, and is looking at a white present with a blue ribbon and a tag reading 'To Strong Bad From Mom or Dad'. He grabs the lid and takes it off to reveal a power drill.}''

'''LI'L STRONG BAD:''' ''{lifting the drill}'' Oh, awesome!

''{He revs the drill.}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{clears the screen, typing}'' Or, like, the origin of Bubs' Concession Stand?

''{Cut to Original Book style. Señor and Mr. Bland stand on a flat green field. Strong Bad's words are subtitled.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrating}'' Señor Havin' A Little Trouble and Mr. Bland were by far the most popular characters.

''{The concession stand, with a sign reading "Stand", falls on top of them with a "splurt!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrating}'' Then, they were crushed by a falling Bubs' Concession Stand.

''{Bubs appears in it, waving.}''

'''BUBS:''' Hot time!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrating}'' said Bubs.

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, I'm not gonna show you those things. Or the origin of the stick. But I will indulge your curiousity  about the stick's hangingoutitude. It currently rates a 10, but such was not always the case. Like when Homestar used to hold his weekly ''{sounding disturbed, and the words turn green and jiggle on the screen}'' bread sing-alongs, ''{back to normal}'' we avoided that place like the plegg! Er, ''{deletes up to the letter P}'' plague!

''{Cut to The Stick, where Homestar Runner is surrounded by bread. He is holding a slice and waving it around while marching on the spot.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' And bread is a good time for me, woo-doo-doo-loot-doo, singing, bread is a good time for everybody!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover; Homestar keeps peeking out around the bread slice}'' We sure sniped that problem right between the eyes from three hundred yards by scheduling The Cheat's rhythmic chain dancing recitals to the same time and place.

''{Strong Bad and Strong Mad stand in the background while The Cheat, dressed in a blue suit, is swinging a chain around, hitting Homestar's face and the bread. Homestar has acquired a sign reading 'Come On & Sing.'}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing, despite being hit in the face}'' I cut the crusts off in the morning light...

''{At this point, Homestar's face has a red chain mark from being hit.}''

''{Strong Bad claps; The Cheat picks up a slice of bread and twirls it while making The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whispering}'' He's quite good.

'''STRONG MAD:''' SUCH GRACE!

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' After a couple of minutes, the popularity of Homestar's sing-alongs faded and Strong Mad ate The Cheat's chainwhip. So that's when the stick became a great place to spraypaint Marzipan.

''{Cut to Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat by The Stick spraying at Marzipan's dress, which has a picture of a steak and 'St8k DiNNeR' written on it graffiti-style.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' To me, this is something that losers would do.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, this is gonna be my freshest piece yet.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Strong Mad, that looks like cooking spray.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! Aw, that's some neva-forgive action right there.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover; the scene darkens slightly}'' But spray-painting people isn't very much fun when they stand there and make fun of you.

''{Cut to The Stick at night. Marzipan is standing by The Stick with an upside-down Homsar stuck to her head; her dress is no longer spray-painted. A wolf howls}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So I super-glued her to ''{exaggerating the "hhh" sound}'' Chhh-Homsar... aaand left them for dead.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ooh, I think I hear wolves coming.

'''HOMSAR:''' AAAaaaAAh'm the human wedgie!

''{Homsar's hat falls and lands on Marzipan's dress.}''

''{Homestar marches in, holding a loaf of bread.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' ... don't ask me why, pumpernickel and rye. ''{Note: Homestar's speech impediment makes "why" and "rye" sound exactly the same.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' In order to properly leave them for dead, and not keep hanging around them for dead, we relocated to behind Bubs's{{--}}

''{Cut to behind Bubs' Concession Stand. A crown with 'On Point' is spray-painted on the wall. Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat are hanging out with the muffler and pipe.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' {{--}}and started calling ourselves the On Point Kings. We di'n't take no guff from nobody!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to The Cheat}'' Hey man, I know what it means. I was just seeing if you knew.

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

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{walking in}'' Have you guys seen my moleskin journal?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{producing the power drill}'' You want another belly button there, Harry Elephanté?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{frightened at the sound of the drill}'' Waah! No sir! Heck no at all!

''{Strong Sad runs away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{throwing away the drill}'' Man, did you guys see me refuse to take that guff? I flat out rejected it! That guff never even had a chance! ''{pulls out a nail file and starts filing his gloves}'' Ah, that's what being an On Point King is all about.

''{The King of Town walks in wearing a blue dunce cap.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I hear somebody mention a pointy king? ''{poking with his hat}'' Doink, doink?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Heck no at all!

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So ya see Claire, if it weren't for the stick, and Marzipan's considerable resistance to death, the On Point Kings may never have stolen the King of Town's dunce cap and renamed it Lotionman. ''{a little embarrassed, and stutters his 'd' (though only one 'd' is typed)}'' D-don't ask, it was Strong Mad's idea. Well, I hope that makes you not email me anymore.

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

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:BreadSingalongs.png|thumb|125px|"Pumpernickel and rye."]]
* After Strong Bad says "eww... Claire... why???" click on "Eau Claire, WI" to view [[Leomard Sportsinterviews#Beverly Sportsinterviews|Beverly Sportsinterviews]]'s book ''[[Books by Sportsinterviewses#Ewww, Claire!! Why???|Ewww, Claire!! Why???]]''
* Click on "dunce" at the end to see and hear an album of Homestar's Bread Sing-alongs.
** Keep clicking the CD cover to hear different songs. The three songs he sings are the same as the ones from the email.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the first time Homsar's hat has not returned to him, regardless of his position (barring [[Modestly Hot Homsar]]). Because he is upside down while glued to Marzipan's forehead, his hat settles on her dress. However, in his character video, he ends up upside down at the end (or, depending on one's point of view, the entire video), but his hat still comes back to him.
*This is the first time Señor's full name (Señor Havin' A Little Trouble) is revealed on the website (though it had been mentioned in the DVD commentary for [[flashback]]).
*Even though in the origin of [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], the sign above the window reads "STAND", during the first appearance of said concession stand ([[Where My Hat Is At?]]), the sign reads "CANDY".
*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Homestar singing some songs about bread is all you really need to know about this one. Strong Bad is in it too, I assume."

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad has trouble with the [[Foreign words|pronunciation]] of the plural form of the word ''rendezvous'', which is spelled the same as the singular, not ''rendezvouses''. The plural can be pronounced either /'''ron'''-day-voo/ (which is also the same as the singular) or /'''ron'''-day-vooz/.
*In the Bread Sing-Alongs CD, the picture of Homestar blinks. This is due to his [[Flash]] "movie clip" symbol, which makes him blink automatically in a looped animation.
*The "Come on and Sing" sign was not in the animation the first few days. It was added sometime after a week.
*Strong Bad misspells "curiosity" as "curiousity".
*Strong Mad seems noticeably shorter than usual.
*The electric drill makes a sound effect very much like that of a pneumatic impact wrench or drill, rather than an electric drill.
*In the first flashback, the trigger to the drill depresses even though Strong Bad's "finger" isn't long enough to reach it.
*The spelling of "steak" given in this email would more normally be pronounced "state-k".
*Strong Bad uses a nail file even though he [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Fingers|lacks visible fingers]].
*When Strong Bad is spray painting Marzipan, and when he's hanging out behind Bubs's, his pants are a slightly different shade than normal.
*When The Cheat chainwhips Homestar, the whip appears behind the piece of bread he eventually picks up.

===Inside References===
*[[The smashed muffler]] first appeared in [[no loafing]].
*[[Homestar Runner Peeking|Homestar peeking]] out behind the bread concealing his eyes at the end of his first bread sing-along song is a long-time running joke that whenever his eyes are concealed or closed, he has to move them so he can see the viewer. Other examples are [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], [[A Holiday Greeting]], and [[Cool Things]].
* Strong Bad was last "On Point" in the "[[Extra Real Dating Sim XR]]," which is the game from the email [[date]].
*This is the second time in the past two cartoons that a character has been pictured wearing a truck shirt. Little Strong Bad does so here, and [[Tompkins]] wore one in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]]. Also, Little Strong Bad's voice is very similar to that of Tompkins.
*The electric drill [[sound effect]] was last heard in [[privileges]] as The Cheat earned a new rewards point.
*The full name "Señor Havin' a Little Trouble" comes from the [[Original Book]]. In the picture where Señor is being squished under the weight of the grapes, the image's alternate text is "havin a little trouble".
*This is another appearance of [[bread]].
*One of Homestar’s Bread Song-Alongs sounds similar to the song played at the end of [[Strong Bad Sings]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Bread (band)|Bread]] was an American Soft Rock band in the 1970s and Homestar's "Bread Sing-alongs" are in their style.
*Strong Bad's introduction to the email is a reference to AUTO, the automated voice used in [[Wikipedia:Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport|Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport]]'s [[Wikipedia:The Plane Train|Automated People Movers]] prior to an upgrade for the [[Wikipedia:1996 Summer Olympics|1996 Olympics]]. The original voice said, in a computer-generated voice, "This vehicle is leaving the station. Please hold on." "The next stop is Concourse (A/B/C/D). The color coded maps and signs in this vehicle match the station colors./The next stop is for the Terminal, Baggage Claim and all Ground Transportation. International passengers please remain on-board. Please move to the center of the vehicle and away from the doors." "Please hold on. This vehicle is approaching the next stop." [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOZX2xa9OhI]
*When Señor and Mr. Bland are crushed in the scene depicting the origin of [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], the manner in which their legs stick out is as that of the Wicked Witch of the East in ''[[The Wizard of Oz]]'' when she is crushed by Dorothy's house.
*Beverly Sportsinterviews, likely related to [[Leomard Sportsinterviews|Lem Sportsinterviews]], is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Beverly Cleary|Beverly Cleary]], an author of novels for children and young adults.
*The name "[[On Point Kings]]" and the crown graffiti are references to the [[Wikipedia:Latin Kings|Latin Kings]], a famous street gang that originated in Chicago. Since members of the Latin Kings are traditionally Hispanic, this is in keeping with Strong Bad's vaguely Mexican heritage.
*[[Wikipedia:Moleskine|Moleskine]] is a brand of pocket notebooks and sketch pads popular among travelling artists and writers. Strong Sad mistakenly pronounces it "mole skin", whereas the correct pronunciation is /mol-ǝ-'''skeen'''-ǝ/.
*"Harry Elephante" is a reference to famous calypso musician [[Wikipedia:Harry Belafonte|Harry Belafonte]].
*"Van Peebles" is a reference to the filmmakers [[Wikipedia:Melvin Van Peebles|Melvin Van Peebles]] (known for ''[[Wikipedia:Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song|Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song]]'') and his son [[Wikipedia:Mario Van Peebles|Mario Van Peebles]].
*Strong Bad's line "that's some never-forgive action right there" is a direct quote from Min One in the graffiti documentary [[Wikipedia:Style Wars|Style Wars]].
*In the second bread sing-along song, Homestar sings, "I cut the crusts off in the morning light." This is a reference to the '80s metal band [[Wikipedia:Dokken|Dokken]], whose song "Alone Again" had the same tune and opens with "I'd like to see you in the morning light."
*The Cheat's rhythmic chain dancing is a reference to the sport [[Wikipedia:Rhythmic gymnastics|rhythmic gymnastics]].

===Fast Forward===

*In [[secret identity]], there is another book similar to ''Ewww, Claire!! Why???'' in an Easter egg entitled ''Laramie, Why?''
*Homestar revisits his bread fixation in [[disconnected]].
*The [[On Point Kings]] reappeared in [[more armies]].
*Strong Bad types "bread sing-alongs" in a green, animated font. He does this again in [[rough copy]] with "flavored water".
*Strong Bad spray painted a Marzipan poster in [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]].

'''MIKE:''' You don't want it to sound raga.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, it sounds barbershop now.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It sounds raga.

'''JONATHAN:''' That's agerpellar. ''{mispronouncing "a cappella"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ummm, yeah, those{{--}} I had a good{{--}} we had a good run, the bread sing-alongs.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, a couple minutes there?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah!

'''JONATHAN:''' ''{overlapping}'' Off-off-Broadway?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You know, what more can you really expect from bread sing-alongs? Um, steak dinner.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks.

'''JONATHAN:''' {{--}}we already have it on record.

'''RYAN:''' Are you a part of the On Point Kings, Homestar?

'''JONATHAN:''' What is the origin of On Point Kings?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno. Matt and I, Matt or I, someone...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Did we see it somewhere?

'''MIKE:''' I don't know, we just came up with it a long time ago...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' We? Mike, Matt, and you, see it?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, we by... Yeah, not me and Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right, 'cause we don't hang out so much.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Look! There's another instance of those guys beating up a muffler with a lead pipe.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''JONATHAN:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Where, what, where is Lotionman, anyways?

'''MIKE:''' I don't know. Maybe{{--}} he might make an appearance someday.

'''JONATHAN:''' ''{under Mike}'' He's on the poster. Look at a poster.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' He needs to come around.

'''MIKE:''' ''{yelps}''

=== Fun Facts ===
*The conversation involving the harmony sounding "raga" and "barbershop" is a direct reference to the movie ''[[This Is Spinal Tap]]'', during a scene in which David St. Hubbins and Nigel Tufnel attempt to harmonize on the [[Wikipedia:Elvis Presley|Elvis]] song "[[Wikipedia:Heartbreak Hotel|Heartbreak Hotel]]".
*The poster Jonathan refers to is likely the [[Everybody Everybody Poster]], though contrary to his claims, it does not feature Lotionman.

[[Image:aupaunch.png|thumb|The Compy Phone]]
The '''Compy Phone''' is a smartphone manufactured by [[Compy, Inc.|Compy]]. In a couple of [[@StrongBadActual|tweets]], [[Strong Bad]] is known to use one, but only the rear is seen (which is actually a [[Store#case compy|phone case from the Store]]). The case features some elements from his old computers, but has the color of the [[Lappy 486]]. It features a "Compycam" (cell phone camera), two ports, and calibration knobs.

Strong Bad's Message Bored

2026-05-29T19:24:48Z

DorianGray: /* Real-World References */ Date format

[[Image:Strong Bad Message Bored01.png|thumb|right|220px|"Ohhhh, I'm so bored!" "!derob os m'I ,hhhhO"]]
'''Strong Bad's Message Bored''' was a fan bulletin board that was on the [[homestarrunner.com|Homestar Runner website]] until May 2003. The board's interface was very basic, did not require registration, and there were few rules. The old header of the board can still be accessed by clicking on the {{Film|Strong Bad}} sticker on the front of the blue mailbox on the [[Email]] page.

'''Page Title:''' Remember What the Tandy Told You

== Features ==
The entire board was powered by [[MivaScript]], since this was back when The Brothers Chaps used Yahoo, where a back-end like [[Wikipedia:PHP|PHP]] was not available with their hosting service.{{ref|1}} The features of the message bored were simple:
*A [http://web.archive.org/web/20021017074146/homestarrunner.com/msgboard.mv?parm_func=showpostform Post Message] feature.
*A [http://web.archive.org/web/20021216203609/homestarrunner.com/msgboard.mv?parm_func=showsearch+parm_starting_root=1 Search] feature.
*And "Ja Rules":
<blockquote>(the ones that matter)
:*1. Be cool
:*2. Be awesome
:*3. Be hilarious
:*4. Don't be stupid
(the boring ones)
:*5. You can use HTML in the body of your messages
:*6. Look, if a message says it's from me, then it really is. I totally delete all imposters, man.

Break a rule and get totally booted out. </blockquote>

When the bored was up, different messages were displayed on the main page:
*"Welcome to the Message Bored. Eternally runnin on empty."
*"Welcome to the Bored. The proof isn't the taste!"
*"Welcome to the Message Bored. Where all your dreams come true!"

A common occurrence on the board was for someone to post that they had found a new [[Strong Bad's Message Bored#Easter Eggs|Easter egg]] by clicking on the "O" in "Bored", even though this egg had already been discovered and catalogued by the various fan groups of the time. The email [[invisibility]] makes fun of this by having the discarded [[Tandy 400]] divulge the "secret" of the message bored "O".

== The End of the Message Bored ==

As the site grew in popularity, a newer, more advanced message board was created at [http://web.archive.org/web/20030524065544/http://bored.homestarrunner.com/ http://bored.homestarrunner.com] on May 12, 2003, but was closed citing overwhelming response within the first day of existence. [[The Brothers Chaps]] put up the following message:

<blockquote>'''YOU GUYS WENT NUTS!!'''
 
Okay, so we kinda underestimated the response the new bored would get. In the span of just a few hours, about a thousand people registered. That rules! Unfortunately, we didn't have stuff configured to handle that kinda slammage. So bear with us while we figure something else out. Until then, enjoy Strong Bad's Message Bored Games. If you don't know, ask the Tandy.</blockquote>
*They then posted all the icons available in posting when the board was up.

==Fun Facts==

=== Trivia ===
*As [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] and [[Mike Chapman]] divulge in one of the DVD commentaries, one of the regulars of the old Strong Bad Message Bored was a certain Pablo, most well known for sending in the email that was the basis for [[flag day]]. Messages posted by him can still be viewed in the original archived Message Bored in the external links.
*Using a seek bar, one can see that the score and lives are carried over from game to game. Also, pausing [[The Cheat's Smoking Challenge]] or [[Armless Invaders]] on the go screen enables a cheat that can be used to get a higher score in [[Nighttime Driving Type Game]]. Finally, Strong Bad's high score on Nighttime Driving Type Game replaces one's score, but this cannot be seen without a seek bar.
*When the Bored was operational, the page title was "Strong Bad's Message BORED". When it was overloaded, the title was changed to "There's Too Many of Them!!!".
*One time when the board crashed, Matt put the word "BONK!" at the top.{{ref|1}}

=== Real-World References ===
*{{w|Ja Rule}} is a [[Hip Hop|rapper]] best known for his early-'00s work including the songs "Holla Holla", "Mesmerize", and the remix of Jennifer Lopez's "I'm Real".
*"There's too many of them!" is a quote from ''[[Star Wars]]: Episode VI – {{w|Return of the Jedi}}'', said by a pilot as their squadron is swarmed by hundreds of enemy ships.

I'm now a full-time software engineer, and don't have the luxury of procrastinating at university anymore. That means I'm really not that active on the wiki anymore...

==What I Did To Avoid Working On My Thesis==
* I tried to make sense of the layout of [[User:Loafing/Strong House|Strong Bad's house]]. Futile? Probably. Fun? Very yes.
* I still hang out on IRC sometimes. So I can have conversations such as this one:
<pre>
[01:48] <Heimstern> There isn't exactly an encyclopedic term for that gesture, I would assume.
[01:45] <Heimstern> I mean, it's not really an encyclopedic thing to do.
[01:40] <Loafing> lol
[01:36] ->| Phlip joins.
[01:30] <Loafing> can i has a phd?
[01:30] <Loafing> kthnxbai
[01:30] <-- Loafing quits
[00:59] <Heimstern> I can has go somewhere else now.
[00:59] <Heimstern> u cant k?
[00:59] <-- Heimstern quits
[00:33] ->| Dot_com joins.
[00:33] <Dot_com> 'ello guvnuhs

'''Soap Box Doiby Cartoon'''

'''anncr:''' are you kidding me? it's the big soap box doiby downhill challenge!! 
(credits) 
'''anncr:''' welcome back. joining me today is that ____, that mound of monarch, the king of town!

'''kot:''' thank you, walter. i must say, i'm very excited to eat some soap today.

'''anncr:''' yes, yes. not my name and not what we're doing here. and here come our racers now!

(cut to racers: bubs, cz, team strong, homestar and pom pom)

'''hs:''' ok pom pom i got it. our team will be called 'the awesome doing homestars.' that makes sense, doesn't it? and thanks for letting me be the driver. you can be my pit crew, or maybe my adoring fans.(brief pause) hey there sport, you need an autograph?

(he starts to sign pom pom)

'''pp:''' bubble de dubble

'''hs:''' what?! you built your own racer and you don't want my autograph! that sickens me. if i didn't have an iron tummy i'd prob'ly be chucking up all over everywhere right now. (pan down to see pom pom's racer. it looks crappy) pfff! is that your racer? looks like a cow built it. good luck trying to win in that...

'''pp:''' bubble

'''hs:''' oh, that's mine. so, where's yours?(pan over to pom-pom's kick-assing racer) dang. that looks like several very smart cows built it. but LOOKS only count in horse shows and ham parades, right homestar? right!

(homestar walks off. we follow him. he walks past the brothers strong and we stay with them)

'''sb:''' are you ready?

'''ss:''' no.

'''sb:''' i mean are you RRRRRRREADY??!!

'''ss:''' nnnnno.

'''sb:''' c'mon double s. get pumped. we're doing this race together. together for heather.

'''ss:''' who's heather?

'''sb:''' i dunno. it doesn't matter. we're a family and we're gonna all pile on this cookie sheet and go careening down this hill at breakneck speed like only guys that once shared a bathtub can.

'''sm:''' you creepin me out!!

'''ss:''' yeah, you creepin me out too.

'''sb:''' i'm trying to keep this family together! this doiby is what being a family is all about! together for heather!

'''ss:''' who's...

'''sb:''' breakneck speed!!

(cut to cz in his locker-racer)

'''cz'''(talking offscreen): if i could only find a way to power this thing with b.o., then i think i'd be a force to be reckoned with. whattaya think you're chances are, bubsio andretti?

(pan over to bubs. he is in the gremlin)

'''bubs:''' i'd feel a lot better if i could've found a gas station around here. and a front left tire. (the cheat(or maybe the goblin) is holding up the front left of the gremlin.)

back to anouncer

'''anncr:''' this year's field is one of the deepest in recent years, wouldn't you agree?

'''kot:''' yes, i also prefer to eat the raw ingredients of cake separately and let them mix in my stomach. gives my skin that ashy glow.

'''anncr:''' disgusting! now the moment we've all been waiting for...on your marks...get set...fat bluebird, give us the signal!

(fat bluebird squawks)

'''anncr:''' and they're off! homestar and pom pom jump out in the lead positions.

'''hs:''' you're going down fat boy. (he shakes a box of thumbtacks, showing pom pom) and if you think i'm gonna share my afterschool snack, you're dead wrong. (homestar downs all the thumbtacks)

cut to the brothers strong. strong sad is laying down on the skateboard and strong bad and strong mad are piled on top.

'''ss:''' why are we just sittin here?? what happened to breakneck speed?

'''sb:''' stick together! we're never gonna win this doiby if we don't act as one! act as one for heather! strong mad, go get a running start.(silouette view of strong mad hopping off, getting a running start, and leaping onto the skateboard. they finally start going)

'''ss:''' ooooohhh! my spine just got cracked for heather!!!

'''sb:''' they don't call it breakneck speed for nuthin!

(footage, wideshots, silhouette shots of the race. overtop of that the announcer talks)

'''anncr:''' holy crackers! this is sporting drama at its finest! (fi-NEST)

'''kot:''' thank you walter. ya know, if i was racing i'd eat myself into a giant wheel of cheese and roll down the hill like a runaway cheddar.

'''anncr:''' that would be a sight to behold! (BE-hold)

(cut to the king of town who has, of course, eaten himself into a wheel of cheese)

'''kot:''' mind giving me a push?

(cut to bubs and cz duking it out)

Bubs and Coach Z run each other off course in a fiery catastrophe. Homestar and Pom Pom fight each other to the end, but Marzipan zips by them at the end in some kinda vegetable powered somethin-er-other.
The Brothers Strong end up dead last, but Strong Bad is convinced he held the family together.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*Homestar's comment, "looks only count in [[horse]] shows and [[ham]] parades", is a [[malapropism]] of the expression "close only counts in [[Wikipedia:horseshoes|horseshoes]] and [[Wikipedia:hand grenade|hand grenades]]".

===Remarks===
*Although Strong Bad has entered a racing competition, there is no indication that he [[Cheating|cheats]] or intends to cheat, nor does he have any issues with coming in dead last.

===Inside References===
*The title features [["Er" pronounced as "Oi"]].
*The King of Town is excited to [[Eating Non-Food Items|eat some soap]]. Homestar likewise eats some thumbtacks.
*Mike's comment contains a gratuitous use of "[[twice]]".
*The [[Fat Bluebird]] was last seen in [[Strong Bad Sings]].
*"Together for heather" is a [[rhymed phrase]].

===Real-World References===
*Coach Z refers to Bubs as [[Wikipedia:Mario Andretti|Bubsio Andretti]].
*The King of Town riding in a wheel of [[cheese]] downhill is based on a [[Wikipedia:Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake|real event held every year in Gloucester, UK]].

*Soap Box Doiby appears as a page on the "site map" shown in [[Back to a Website]].

Poker Night at the Inventory

2026-03-30T02:51:34Z

DorianGray: /* Real-World References */ Fix spelling of "Middle"

[[File:pokernight.png|thumb|200px|A different kind of poker night.]]

<blockquote>'''STRONG BAD:''' There's no quicker way to turn the hotties off than by being a terrible poker player, man.</blockquote>

'''''Poker Night at the Inventory''''' is a {{w|Texas hold 'em}} {{w|poker}} computer game developed by [[Telltale Games]]. A spiritual successor to ''{{w|Telltale Texas Hold'em}}'', the game pits the player against four disparate video game characters {{--}} [[Strong Bad]] (as portrayed in Telltale's ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]]''), {{p|l=https://samandmax.fandom.com/wiki/Max Max}} (from ''[[Sam & Max]]''), {{p|l=http://pennyarcade.wikia.com/wiki/Tycho_Brahe Tycho}} (from ''[[Penny Arcade]]''), and {{p|l=http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Heavy Heavy Weapons Guy}} (from ''{{w|Team Fortress 2}}''). {{p|l=https://monkeyisland.fandom.com/wiki/Reginald_Van_Winslow Reginald Van Winslow}} from ''{{w|Tales of Monkey Island}}'' features as the host of titular {{w|speakeasy}} The Inventory, and other characters (such as [[Pom Pom]]) make cameo appearances.

''Poker Night'' presents the characters as they appeared in their respective games, so Strong Bad retains a cel-shaded look that makes him stand out from many other elements of the game. As the central conceit of the game is that the video game characters are spending their off hours playing poker, the game has an extensive dialogue system, allowing characters to comment on how the game is progressing, react to cards, address the player, and hold conversations amongst themselves. Characters each buy in with $10,000 {{--}} there is a chance a character will [[gambling|bet]] a prized item instead of putting up the money, for instance, Strong Bad may wager [[Dangeresque Too]]'s [[Cool Shades|sunglasses]]. If the character who wagered the item is knocked out of the tournament by the player, these items will then be unlocked for use in ''Team Fortress 2''.

The game was initially released for Windows and Mac on November 22, 2010; after Telltale Games' closure, ''Poker Night'' was delisted from Steam on May 23rd, 2019. A revised and remastered version of the game was released for modern platforms on March 5, 2026.

== Game Elements ==
===The Inventory===
[[Image:TheInventory.png|thumb|Outside the Inventory]]
'''The Inventory''' is a [[Clubs (organizations)|secret club]] where video game characters relax and play games when they aren't working. [[Strong Sad]] and [[Marzipan]] were part of a murder play here in [[Make a Scene with Telltale at PAX 2010]]. Later, [[Strong Bad]] and [[Pom Pom]] played Texas Hold 'Em poker here in Poker Night at the Inventory. The building appears to be a warehouse with a metal door and a lit sign displaying the words "The Inventory". This metal door isn't used, as a hidden elevator in the floor goes down into the real club below. The club is shown to have secret rooms, as a bookcase is opened and closed to allow passage to an unknown area. The club was founded in 1919, in response to an early draft of the {{w|Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution|prohibition amendment}}, which would also have outlawed games. The club has remained secret ever since, just in case a similar law is ever created in the future.

In the introduction, while going down the elevator, Pom Pom can be seen at the table. Later, when the player is being shown to the table, Pom Pom can be seen getting up and bouncing away, possibly in disgust. At one of the tables at the bar, a [[Maps and Minions]] game board from [[Strong Badia the Free]] can be briefly seen.

===Introduction Scene Transcript===
[[Image:Poker Table at The Inventory.png|thumb|The Inventory's Poker Table]]
'''WINSLOW:''' Oh hello there! Another enthusiast, I presume?

How good it is to see a fresh face here at The Inventory! I imagine you are here for the cardgame with fellows downstairs? Let me lead you down there.

A first timer hmm? I'm a bit more familiar with the...benefactions of the club. The club was founded in 1919 in response to an early draft of the 18th Amendment. Through...back channels it was learned that this vile piece of legislation would not only outlaw libations, but games and amusements that could also "threaten the world-renowned determination and productivity of the American work-force". Ha! Can you IMAGINE? Games OUTLAWED?

Nevertheless, this club has been here in secret ever since, just in case those "in charge", get another bee in their bonnet. So, welcome and enjoy yourself.

Ah, your table! ''{Turns to the poker table, with Max, Strong Bad, Heavy, and Tycho sitting around it}'' Ahem, gentlemen. I hope there is room at the table for a fifth.

'''MAX:''' Aha! Fresh meat!

''(At this point, one of the following scripts is chosen at random.)''

:'''WINSLOW:''' Tonight's stakes will be ten thousand dollars.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, just because you're the manager, you get to make the rules?
:'''WINSLOW:''' Manager? Ha ha, no, I am not under the employ of the Inventory. I just see to it that everybody has a good time. That will be ten thousand. I hope each of you brought your billfolds.
:{{short hr}}
: '''WINSLOW:''' Perhaps our newcomer would like to set the stakes for tonight's game? ''("The Player" tosses a bound stack of money onto the table.)'' That sounded like ten thousand dollars landing on the table to the note.
:{{short hr}}
: '''WINSLOW:''' Very well. In concordance with the house rules of the Inventory, set forth by Mr. Kent upon the club's founding, any congregation of five players around a no-limit hold'em table must play for the house stakes of seventy-five dollars.
:'''THE HEAVY:''' This is not too much.
:'''WINSLOW:''' Of course, these stakes were set in 1910 and with inflation... hm, let's see... eh, tonight's buy-in will be ten thousand dollars.

''{Each of the characters place money on the table}''

'''WINSLOW:''' The game will be No-Limit Texas Hold'Em. I will periodically raise the blinds. May the best player win! ''{Winslow leaves the table}''

===Strong Bad===
{{seealso|Strong Bad's Responses in Poker Night at the Inventory}}
[[File:DangeresqueGlasses PN26.png|thumb|Strong Bad dons "his" sunglasses in the 2026 remaster.]]
Strong Bad's play style is unpredictable and reckless, often aggressively {{w|Bluff (poker)|bluffing}} with a high wager (even going all in) on a subpar hand in an attempt to get others to fold. He may often be the first out, but his bluff-heavy style makes him hard to read and he can catch others off guard with a genuinely good hand.

Strong Bad engages in his typical humorously-threatening behavior during table cross-talk:
*He often teases the player about the poor value of their cards or their lack of skill compared to him.
*Strong Bad and Max get along reasonably well, though it is unclear how much they understand each other.
*The Heavy thinks Strong Bad is a "tiny Heavy", and is generally kinder to him. Strong Bad admires him but isn't above making fun of his game's sillier aspects.
*Tycho and Strong Bad have an antagonistic relationship, with Strong Bad belittling [[Penny Arcade|Tycho's website]] compared to [[homestarrunner.com|his own]].
Strong Bad additionally [[Fourth Wall Breaks|breaks the fourth wall]] and is well aware that he's a licensed character being exploited by Telltale Games, similar to how he was treated in [[Behind The Bad]].

Though the script for ''Poker Night at the Inventory'' was written in-house at Telltale, there was extensive collaboration with the creator-owners of its cast members; [[The Brothers Chaps|Matt and Mike Chapman]] are credited for "additional writing". Voice actor [[Matt Chapman]] also improvised new and alternate takes on Strong Bad's scripted lines during the recording process (as he had during the production of ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]]'').{{ref|1}}

====Dangeresque, Too?====
<blockquote>'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh... uh... I couldn't fit my briefcase full of cash in these pants on account of my [[Big Butts|ample hind-bosom]]. But I do have these cool-cool fadey-fadey shadey [[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]] glasses. They're worth like five ten thousand dollars-es. So, we're good. Right? ''{quietly}'' You guys bought that? 
'''VAN WINSLOW:''' If nobody else has a problem with it, Strong Bad will be buying in with collateral. Whoever knocks him out will receive his buy-in.</blockquote>

As the game begins, there is a chance that Strong Bad may make a different wager than the $10,000 ante {{--}} [[Dangeresque Too]]'s sunglasses. He will then wear the shades during the game, with them serving as collateral for the cash buy-in. If the player knocks Strong Bad out of the tournament (that is, if they win and Strong Bad goes bankrupt in the same hand), they win the sunglasses and are awarded the corresponding "Special Item: Strong Bad" achievement. If another computer-controlled character knocks Strong Bad out of the tournament, the item is no longer available to earn that round but Strong Bad may bet it again in the future; he will never wager the glasses again after the player has already won them, however.

Winning the sunglasses also makes them available as a cosmetic item in the game ''{{w|Team Fortress 2}}'', dubbed {{p|l=https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Dangeresque,_Too%3F Dangeresque, Too?}} therein. The 2026 version provides an item that is physically identical, but differentiated with the name [https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3897800/view/493842084753572649 "Reissued Dangeresque, Too?"]; players who own both versions of the game can unlock both the original and Reissued versions.

===Unlockables===
[[File:Homestar Runner deck.png|thumb|"These cards are like [[Strong Bad's Ladies|the ladies]]: they WISH they were getting played by me."]]
The player is rewarded with an {{w|Unlockable (gaming)|unlockable}} after each win, a playing table every first and second win and a card deck every third win. The 2026 Remaster adds an additional set of tables that can be won past the original unlocks. The Homestar Runner-related items are:

* After two wins: [[Trogdor]] table. A green design with an intricate Trogdor pattern at the center and singed edges.
* After six wins: Homestar Runner deck. A deck of cards with pixelated designs. The picture cards are:
**Ace: Spade has Videlectrix Logo
**King: Strong Bad with a crown
**Queen: [[The Cheat]] holding a flower
**Jack: [[Homestar Runner]]
**Back of Cards: Blue with white star in center.
* After 10 wins: [[Videlectrix]] table. A red, orange, and yellow table with the Videlectrix logo in the center and their slogan below. Using this table turns Strong Bad's model into [[Retro Gaming Character Variations|a low-polygon variation]].
* After 13 wins: [[Strong Badia]] table. A table with the Strong Badia [[flag day|flag design]] overlaid on the surface.
* After 15 wins: Poker Night deck. The hearts are all Homestar Runner-related, with the King, Queen, and Jack being [[Strong Sad]], Strong Bad, and Homestar Runner respectively.
* After 20 wins: Telltale Shield table. Black table with symbols all the players and Telltale logo in the center. Also causes Strong Bad to turn into his polygon version.
* After 21 wins: Poker Night alternate deck. The deck has the same royals as the first Poker Night deck, but has a different back (black and white circles with the Inventory logo in the center) and an inverted color scheme (instead of the suits having the color, the entire card is the color and the suits are white).
* After 22 wins (2026 remake): Inventory Security. The table is made of glass and shows security monitors underneath that rotate between different feeds. One features Homestar Runner sitting on the couch in the basement of the [[House of the Brothers Strong]].
* After 24 wins (2026 remake): Control Point. The table becomes a Control Point from ''Team Fortress 2'' and changes color and projected hologram when a player takes the lead. When Strong Bad is leading, it turns green and projects a hologram of the Strong Badian Flag.
* After 25 wins (2026 remake): Snake Boxer 5. The table turns into a 4 player tabletop arcade cabinet of Snake Boxer 5. The table plays an attract screen showing gameplay footage and the high score table.
* After 26 wins (2026 remake): UFO. The table turns into the floor of the UFO of The Headquarters of Elightened Mariachi aka T.H.E.M. from Sam and Max: Beyond space and Time Episode 4: Chariot of the Dogs. Winning on this table triggers a special animation where T.H.E.M. perform for the player, annoying the other patrons including Strong Bad in the process.

== 2026 Version ==
[[File:Poker Night 2026 Keyart.png|thumb|Fast, slick, and shiny {{--}} [[redesign|like Flo Jo in a tuxedo]]!]]
On February 4, 2026, Telltale successor [[Skunkape Games]] announced a rerelease of the game; Skunkape Games is a small team of ex-Telltale employees (unaffiliated with {{w|Telltale Games (2018–present)|LCG Entertainment's modern incarnation of Telltale}}) that obtained the rights to the studio's ''[[Sam & Max]]'' games after its 2018 closure.{{ref|2}}

The revised ''Poker Night at the Inventory'' (sharing the same name as the original game), was released for Steam, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4 on March 5, 2026. In addition to compatibility with modern platforms, this rerelease includes graphical adjustments and enhancements, expanded options, new unlockables, and revised poker-playing AI.

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*This was the [[first]] official [[wikipedia:fictional crossover|crossover]] involving the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work.
*[[Swears]] are in the game, with the option to bleep them out. This option does not affect Strong Bad's swears, however, which are always bleeped out.
**The 2026 remaster does not censor Strong Bad's dialogue, revealing that he is simply saying "bleep" instead of an expletive.
*Strong Bad's character bio reads:<blockquote>Heralding from the oft-overlooked municipality of [[Strong Badia]], Strong Bad enjoys [[heavy metal]] music, [[Video Game References|video games]], [[cold ones]], [[Strong Bad's Technology|computers]], jetpacks, [[chainsaw]] arms, [[fireworks]], jumps, [[Strong Bad's Ladies|babes]], and [[guitar]]-[[axes]] (both guitars with a sharp edge and axes that go [[Onomatopoeia|"squiddelydoo"]] when they chop wood). His poker strategy consists of belittling his opponents and hoping they fall prey to his "natural musk fog." Watch the critically acclaimed drama "[[Strong Bad email]]s," where Strong Bad checks his email on [[Homestarrunner.com]] or be sure to catch his made for TV movie "The Loneliest Rainbow". Check your local listings for showtimes.</blockquote>
*Strong Bad uses [[The Poopsmith]]'s shovel to scoop up chips.
*Pom Pom makes a cameo in the introduction wearing the pre-order bonus Dealer's Visor for ''Team Fortress 2'', attempting to join the game. He leaves when they choose Tycho to play instead.
*The ''Poker Night'' soundtrack is composed of downtempo instrumental jazz {{w|Cover version|covers}}, including versions of [[The Theme from Dangeresque II|the theme from ''Dangeresque II'']] and "[[Trogdor (song)|Trogdor]]".
*Strong Bad bets the Dangeresque Too shutter shades, even though they belong to Homestar and not him.
**Max, similarly, bets ''Sam'''s Freelance Police badge (alongside his own gun).
**The Pac-Man watch has switched hands between Tycho and Gabe so many times it's unclear who it "really" belongs to.
* $75 in 1910 would only be roughly $1,700 in 2010 money ($2,500 in 2026).

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad mentions [[The Cheat]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Bubs]], [[Homsar]], [[The King of Town]], and [[Marzipan]].
*One taunt Strong Bad will use is "Looks like you're gonna have to fold!" This is a reference to [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]]'s catchphrase, "Looks like I'm gonna have to jump!" Additionally, among the weapons Strong Bad claims to have, one is a "custom [[nunchuck gun]]", the weapon of Dangeresque.
*Strong Bad refers to the Heavy as "[["Man" pronounced as "m'n"|Heavym'n]]".
*The Heavy misunderstands Strong Bad when he asks if he can take care of the King of Town for him, thinking Strong Bad wants to [[Death|assassinate him]]. When Strong Bad learns that The Heavy wants to assassinate the King, he [[Strong Bad and The King of Town's Relationship|shrugs it off]] with a simple "oh well".
*Strong Bad suggests that the Heavy should come live in the [[House of the Brothers Strong|House of Strong]], implying that the Heavy would displace Strong Sad.
*Strong Bad says, "Flops are stupid, but [[Floppy Disk Container|floppy disks]] are [[portmanteaus|analog-awesome]]."
*Strong Bad says, "Flop, flop [[crap]]. Crop. Trying to make it rhyme. See what I was doing there?"
*Strong Bad tells Tycho he will kick him in his groin[[-face]].
*Strong Bad is upset when Tycho asks him what he'll do if he ever gets a lady, and Strong Bad says he had to [[Strong Bad's Ladies|cancel five dates]] with nine supermodels just to be there. When asked [[How do you type with boxing gloves on?|how he manages to unhook a bra with his boxing glove hands]], Strong Bad says [[Underwear|bras]] fly right off when they enter his "natural musk fog".
*When The Heavy asks if Strong Bad wrestles, Strong Bad says he's a [[wrestleman]], not a "wrestle...ER".
*Strong Bad says he can "buy a new [[Compy, Inc.|Compy]] with that pot. One with a half-core processor".
*Sometimes, when Strong Bad has to make a decision to call a large bet, he will state that this decision is harder "than the time both [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship|Strong Sad]] and [[Homestar Runner and Strong Bad's Relationship|Homestar]] asked me for dessert, and I only had one laxative-laced brownie left."
*If Strong Bad wins two hands in a row, he'll say, "You know, I'll just keep winning. Same [[type]] deal. [[Twice]] [[times]], twice times".
*Strong Bad mentions "[[jibblie]] nightmares".
*Periodically, Strong Bad will state that he's "totally in this hand. [[Total]], man." The second sentence is derived from the [[Strong Bad Email Intros|email intro]] of [[trevor the vampire]].
*Tycho and Strong Bad have a very antagonistic relationship with one another. Examples include Tycho claiming that [[Strong Badia]] is nothing but a deflated [[tire]] and a piece of dog [[whatsit]]. Strong Bad also shows envy toward Tycho's popularity and says that his [[wikipedia:Penny Arcade Expo|Penny Arcade Expo]] is nothing without him.
*Strong Bad shows [[gender confusion]] when he offers to be Team Mother of The Heavy's RED Team.
*After Tycho's short but disturbing monologue about the wonders of the hedgehog spines, Strong Bad responds, "Oh, nothing. Just [[puking]] in my [[pants]]." This may be a reference to the email [[secret recipes]].
*Sometimes when the player wins a hand, Strong Bad will claim that it's not as impressive as "the time [he] had a full house and a flush [[Blatant Lies|in one hand]]. A flush house."
*When Strong Bad mentions how the [[cold ones]] at the Inventory are supposedly good, Tycho [[Ages of Characters|questions Strong Bad's age]]: "Aren't you like, ten?". Strong Bad retorts with "You shut face."
*The Heavy reveals that his favorite video game is [[Where's an Egg?]].
*Tycho asks Strong Bad [[How do you type with boxing gloves on?|how he can do anything with "hands like those"]].
*When Max questions if Strong Bad has a criminal record, Strong Bad references the events of the [[Behind the Bad]] videos and stated that the game Videlectrix made with the stolen source codes helped create one of the most successful video games... in Guam.
*Strong Bad will occasionally advertise [[homestarrunner.com]] to the player and immediately pressure Max to do a joint promotion for the Telltale Games store. This is a possible reference to the fact that these two characters are the primary representatives of Telltale Games in Poker Night (as Heavy is owned by {{w|Valve Corporation|Valve}} and Tycho's only prior video game appearance was developed by Hothead Games).
*Strong Bad describes the [[Bogus Mathematical Theorems|Inverse Property of]] [[Noun-Verb|Luck-Have]].
*Strong Bad directly quotes [[Blue Laser Commander]]'s line from the original [[Cheat Commandos (toon)|Cheat Commandos]] toon by saying, "I just hate you so much!" when losing a large bet.

===Real-World References===
*Several cameo appearances are made by characters from other Telltale titles and/or the series that the four characters hail from. These cameos are mostly seen briefly in the introductory video.
**The host, Reginald Van Winslow, hails from Telltale's revival of the [[LucasArts]] ''Monkey Island'' series.
**Sam, Girl Stinky, and Momma Bosco from ''[[Sam & Max]]'' can be seen in the introductory video.
***Flint Paper is seated at the bar and remains visible through regular gameplay.
***The Bluster Blaster arcade machine sits in the back of the room. When Strong Bad busts out, he can be seen in the background playing the game.
***General Skunkape appears in the 2026 remaster.
***Winning on the new UFO table has T.H.E.M. consisting of Young Pedro, Middle Age Pedro and Old Pedro, performs for the player.
**Monty Muzzle from the Telltale series ''[[Wallace & Gromit]]'s Grand Adventures'' can be seen perusing The Inventory's library.
**Trixie Trotter from Telltale's ''[[Back to the Future]]: The Game'' can be seen going into a room hidden behind a bookcase.
**In the 2026 remaster, the G-Man can be seen on a screen in the "Inventory Security" table. He hails from the ''{{w|Half-Life (series)|Half-Life}}'' series by Valve Software, which also makes the Heavy's ''Team Fortress 2''.
*Strong Bad compares Max to a [[Pokémon]] and the [[Disney]] character {{w|Stitch (Lilo & Stitch)|Stitch}}.
*Strong Bad compares Tycho's hair to "a greasy hedgehog... unassociated with any video game license", referring to the ''{{w|Sonic the Hedgehog (series)|Sonic the Hedgehog}}'' series from [[Sega]].
*One of the lines Strong Bad can say when raising is "raisin' in the sun", a reference to the play ''{{w|A Raisin in the Sun}}''.
*Strong Bad says playing poker at The Inventory was "better than poker night at Homestar's. [[Marzipan]] is always walking around [[Naked Homestar Runner|au-natural]] trying to get us to play no-loser Candy Land," referring to the board game {{w|Candy Land}}.
*The Heavy wants Strong Bad to join the {{p|l=http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/RED RED Team}}. ''Team Fortress 2'' features the adversarial color-coded RED and BLU teams; RED is typically featured in promotional media, exemplified by the RED Heavy appearing in this game.
* Multiple references are made to Artie Flopshark, the fictional writer of the tutorial of Telltale's first poker game ''{{w|Telltale Texas Hold'em}}'' {{--}}
**Max tells Strong Bad about a story where Flint Paper beat up a poker instructor named Artie Flopshark for allegedly stealing money.
**"Artie Flopshark, deceased" is the lowest possible rank in the game, used when the player has a negative winning total.
*Strong Bad claims that playing for a large pot is like a fictional secret level in {{w|Super Punch-Out}} against an ocelot and {{w|Buster Douglas}}, heavyweight boxing champion who famously beat {{w|Mike Tyson}}, the frontman for the previous game in the series {{w|Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!}}.

===Fast Forward===
*Despite the fact that Strong Bad (or any other Homestar Runner character) does not physically appear in the game's sequel ''{{w|Poker Night 2}}'', the theme song remains the same, including the pieces of the Dangeresque theme.
*A picture of Strong Bad, The Heavy, Tycho, and Max playing poker can be seen on the wall at the entrance of The Inventory in ''Poker Night 2''.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' This week, I'm feeling my style! I've got confidence in my email!

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: sb!!!!</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
If your head got disconnected and your head was rolling 
all over the place and you didn't even know were your 
body is or your head, what would you do? 
Jenny
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad struggles to read everything between "were" and the final "head". He also sings Jenny's name, as follows:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Jennyyy... ''{high-pitched}'' Jenny! ''{speaking normally, typing}'' Um, was ''your'' head connected to ''your'' body when you wrote this email? I think I get the gist of it. ''{clears the screen}'' While my head and body are normally the bosomest ''{pronounced boosomest}'' of buddies, I suppose I could double my productivity if they were separated. Like, I could raise that ruckus I've been planning in two days instead of four! The plausibilities are endless!

''{Cut to The Field, where Strong Bad's disembodied head is speaking to Homestar Runner. A sign reads "THE CAREER ADVISOR IS REAL IN" with "REAL" being a separate removable word.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' My head could be off giving folks career advice...

''{The scene pans over and darkens, while a second scene appears on the left with a split down the middle of the screen. The scene on the left shows Strong Bad's headless body next to a box of "riot rocks", near the King of Town's castle. He is throwing the rocks at the King of Town and The Poopsmith, who is wearing [[whatsit]]-covered armor and blocking the rocks with a shield that has the King's face on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...whilst my body is rioting against the municipality!

''{The body's scene darkens while the head's scene brightens.}''

'''HEAD BAD:''' Maybe this running business just isn't for you. Have you ever considered the making and selling of tiny breads?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Homestar Bunmaker, eh? Me likey, me likey! Thanks, Eggman! ''{turns away, but then turns back}'' Oh, and... ''{throws coins}'' why don't you get yourself something to eat? Put some meat on them bones, girl!

''{Homestar walks off. The bar dividing the two scenes slides off to the left, resulting in a single scene. The camera pans right to reveal the same rock-throwing scene just to the right of Strong Bad's head. His head turns toward his body.}''

'''HEAD BAD:''' That's some nice revolutin', there, body, but, uh, maybe we should spread out. Like, more.

''{The body gives the head a thumbs-up. Cut to a closeup of Strong Bad's head on a beach. His head is sitting on a picnic blanket, resting against a palm tree, wearing a pair of sunglasses. There is a drink with three umbrellas in front of him. A seagull can be heard in the background. The camera zooms out slowly.}''

'''HEAD BAD:''' Ah, livin' the sleazy life.

''{The camera cuts back to show that Strong Bad's head is actually alone on a small island.}''

'''HEAD BAD:''' ''{turning back}'' Hey, cabana boy! My drink needs more umbrellas! What kind of deserted island is this, anyway?

''{Cut to Club Technochocolate, where Strong Bad's body is dancing with Bubs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Meanwhile, my body could be off putting its considerably reduced weight on it down at the cloughb!

'''BUBS:''' Dang, Strong Body! Without all that extra head ballast, your moves are twicely fresh! Twicely fresh!

''{Cut to an image of Strong Bad's head rolling across The Field.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' My head would probably get pretty dizzy just rollin' around all the time. I might have to rig up some kind of repulsor lifts!

''{The camera cuts back, and the head begins to hover through a disc on the bottom.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Naw, scratch that. I'm gonna need something with a little more... muscle.

''{The disc disappears and is replaced by flaming exhaust pipes on the top of its head. Motorcycle sounds are heard.}''

'''HEAD BAD:''' Oh, yeah! That's what I'm talkin' about! ''{leans back, as though revving up}'' Reer! Reeeeer! ''{starts zipping back and forth across the scene quickly}'' Rooow! Rooow! Rooo! Reer! ''{imitating brakes as it stops}'' Reeeeee! Whoa! This mess rules! I can finally win the million-yard dash! ''{zips forward again}'' Roooo...

''{Cut to a finish line, which the head zips through quickly. Then cut to the other side, where Coach Z is holding a stopwatch.}''

'''HEAD BAD:''' ''{imitating brakes}'' Reeeee! Oh, yes! I beat Homestar!

'''COACH Z:''' Sorry, Head Bad, but you was the only one competin' this year! Old 'Strammy's gone and quit the runnin' business!

''{Homestar jumps up behind Strong Bad's head, wearing a new hat that reads "BUNMAKER" and holding a box of "TINY BREADS".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Cooornbreeeeead! I got cornbread here! Dinner rolls! Cornbread! Everybody wants a bun! Lemme hear that dinner roll!

''{Cut to a blank white screen. Strong Bad's body walks on from stage right, while the unaltered head rolls on from stage left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Maybe one day, we'd both learn to regenerate...

''{The head gains an arm, a green leg, a spirally arm, and an extremely thin robotic-looking leg. The body gains an odd growth colored to look like Strong Bad's head in its chest.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...creating two perfectly-formed Strong Bad specimens!

'''STRONG BODY:''' ''{in a somewhat whiny voice that sounds nothing like Strong Bad}'' I would like to go to the store.

'''HEAD BAD:''' ''{in a scratchy voice followed by laughing that also sounds nothing like Strong Bad}'' ''{unintelligible}'' [[#Footnote|[1]]] 

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Eeeugh! Go away, head-nub and nub-head. Those things look straight out of the creature shop from some low-to-no budget horror film. Maybe chopping my head off isn't such a good idea.

''{Cut back to show The Cheat standing next to a guillotine near the computer.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes dejected The Cheat noises, walks off}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy's screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, time to go satisfy my sudden craving for tiny breads. ''{gets up}'' Hope I can find my local bunman...

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

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===

*[[Wikipedia:Ballast tanks|Ballast]] is a material (such as water) used in a ballast tank to add mass to an object, usually to improve stability.

===Trivia===

*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#below the root|below the root]]".
*One million yards is approximately 568 miles.
*This is the first email in which an Easter egg is found before the actual email is shown.
*When Head Bad is on the deserted island, he is wearing his [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] sunglasses.

===Remarks===

*Viewing the Flash file of this email reveals a large black block covering the area that is normally outside the frame.
*[[Wiktionary:plausible|Plausible]] means "seemingly believable", and a [[Wiktionary:plausibility|plausibility]] is anything that is plausible. Strong Bad's use of the word "plausibility" is [[Malapropisms|incorrect]]; a more appropriate word would be "possibility".
*The Regenerator 4 Easter egg has an unexpected [[Lowercase i's|lowercase i]] in the same word as a capital I.
*In the DVD commentary for [[island]], [[Matt Chapman]] said that he and [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] planned to reuse the island in a later toon.
*When Head Bad finishes the 1 million yard dash, the running lanes are labeled 5, 6, 7. Lanes 1 through 4 are missing.
*"The Municipality" is a synonym of "town", as in the one over which the King rules.
*This is the first time the King of Town has shown any authority in Free Country USA.

===Goofs===

*When Head Bad gets the 'muscle' engine growing out of his head, his shadow on the ground never changes to match the engine.
*When Head Bad finishes the 1 million yard dash, the finish line tape is connected to a pole. In another shot there, the pole is gone, and the tape just sits on the ground.
*When Strong Body is "rioting against the municipality" a rock appears in his glove after each throw without him reaching into the box. Also, the rocks in the box don't seem to be disappearing.
*The Poopsmith's bat and Head Bad's sign should have been seen in the opposite scenes before the screen pans, seeing as both objects crossed the division between the screens.
*When Strong Bad is on the island, the lemon on the drinking glass appears to be directly connected to the glass, instead of being wedged into the edge.
*Bubs' mouth does not move the second time he says "twicely fresh".
*Strong Body's neck still has the shadow usually cast by Strong Bad's head, even when it's not there.

===Inside References===
*[[Head Bad and Strong Body]] were first used on [[Main Page 7]].
*Coach Z calling Homestar "'Strammy" mirrors his mispronunciation "Stramstar" in [[A Jorb Well Done]].
*Strong Bad's pronunciation of "club" also occurred in [[extra plug]].
*The exhaust pipes on Strong Bad's head are reminiscent of the ones used on Bubs's pumpkin in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].
*Homestar becoming a bunmaker could be related to his obsession with [[bread]] in [[origins]].
*The phrase "put your weight on it" was previously used in [[flashback]].
*Bubs describes Strong Body's dancing as "[[twice]]ly fresh".
*Bubs's dance in [[Club Technochocolate]] is the same one he did in [[geddup noise]].
*While Strong Body is dancing in Club Technochocolate, he slides on the ground while kneeling, a move that was also performed by Strong Bad at the end of his [[rock opera]].
*Strong Bad's head was first called an [[egg]] in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]].
*A "cabana boy" was mentioned earlier in the [[Puppet Jam: Tropical Lazor Beams#DVD Transcript|DVD version of Tropical Lazor Beams]].
*This is another appearance of [[loose coins]].
*Strong Bad mentions seeing his local "bunm'n", which is an example of [["man" pronounced as "m'n"]].

===Real-World References===

*Strong Bad's "career advisor" sign is similar to the "Psychiatric help" sign used by [[Wikipedia:Lucy van Pelt|Lucy van Pelt]] from the [[Peanuts]] comics. More specifically, it reads "The doctor is real in", with "real in" being the movable part of the sign in ''[[Wikipedia:A Charlie Brown Christmas|A Charlie Brown Christmas]]''.
**The sign also is written in the "Peanuts" [[Fonts#P|font]].
*The Repulsorlift is the technology used in the ''[[Wikipedia:Star Wars|Star Wars]]'' universe to create lift for vehicles. It is most notably used on the various speeders, but it also works for spacecraft, such as the [[Wikipedia:X-wing|X-wing]]. It is supposedly based on the creation of artificial gravity "pockets" that act against the natural gravity of other objects.
*The phrase "put your weight on it" (in reference to dancing) comes from the Rudy Ray Moore movie ''[[Wikipedia:Disco Godfather|Disco Godfather]]''.
*"Lemme hear that dinner roll" is a reference to the lyrics of the 1994 song [[Wikipedia:Tootsie Roll (song)|"Tootsie Roll"]] by the band 69 Boyz.
*The exhaust pipes coming out of Head Bad could be referred to as a "[[Wikipedia:Manifold (automotive engineering)|header]]" in automotive engineering parlance.
*The "We're Onto You" poster could be a reference to the similar propaganda "Big Brother Is Watching You" from the book ''[[Wikipedia:Nineteen Eighty-Four|Nineteen Eighty-Four]]''.
**The "We're Onto You" poster may also be a reference to the video game [[Wikipedia:Beyond Good & Evil (video game)|Beyond Good & Evil]], because one of the common sights in said game is a poster that says "Support the Government. We're here to protect you."
*Bubs's repetition of the phrase "twicely fresh" is reminiscent of the Sesame Street character and host of Mysterious Theater Vincent Twice's repetition of his own name.
*"Regenerator 4" is possibly a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Re-Animator|Re-Animator]] series of horror films.
*"With Special Make-up Effects by TOLD SALLIAVERi" could be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Tom Savini|Tom Savini]], well-known special effects make-up man in many low-budget (as well as hit) movies, such as [[Wikipedia:Day of the Dead|Day of the Dead]] and the [[Wikipedia:Friday the 13th (series)|Friday the 13th]] series.
*Strong Bad's deserted island drink could be a [[Wikipedia:Tequila Sunrise (cocktail)|Tequila Sunrise]], judging by the scene's tropical theme and the drink's gradual color blend from yellow to dark orange.






===Fast Forward===
*The floppy disk reading "below the root" also appears in [[keep cool]].
*The Municipality is later referenced in [[more armies]].
*Strong Bad does the same dance moves at Club Technochocolate in [[nightlife]].

Poker Night at the Inventory

2026-03-17T20:01:43Z

DorianGray: /* 2026 Version */ PNG'd!

[[File:pokernight.png|thumb|200px|A different kind of poker night.]]

<blockquote>'''STRONG BAD:''' There's no quicker way to turn the hotties off than by being a terrible poker player, man.</blockquote>

'''''Poker Night at the Inventory''''' is a {{w|Texas hold 'em}} {{w|poker}} computer game developed by [[Telltale Games]]. A spiritual successor to ''{{w|Telltale Texas Hold'em}}'', the game pits the player against four disparate video game characters {{--}} [[Strong Bad]] (as portrayed in Telltale's ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]]''), {{p|l=https://samandmax.fandom.com/wiki/Max Max}} (from ''[[Sam & Max]]''), {{p|l=http://pennyarcade.wikia.com/wiki/Tycho_Brahe Tycho}} (from ''[[Penny Arcade]]''), and {{p|l=http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Heavy Heavy Weapons Guy}} (from ''{{w|Team Fortress 2}}''). {{p|l=https://monkeyisland.fandom.com/wiki/Reginald_Van_Winslow Winslow}} from ''{{w|Tales of Monkey Island}}'' features as the host of titular {{w|speakeasy}} The Inventory, and other characters (such as [[Pom Pom]]) make cameo appearances.

''Poker Night'' presents the characters as they appeared in their respective games, so Strong Bad retains a cel-shaded look that makes him stand out from many other elements of the game. As the central conceit of the game is that the video game characters are spending their off hours playing poker, the game has an extensive dialogue system, allowing characters to comment on how the game is progressing, react to cards, address the player, and hold conversations amongst themselves. Characters each buy in with $10,000 {{--}} there is a chance a character will [[gambling|bet]] a prized item instead of putting up the money, for instance, Strong Bad may wager [[Dangeresque Too]]'s [[Cool Shades|sunglasses]]. If the character who wagered the item is knocked out of the tournament by the player, these items will then be unlocked for use in ''Team Fortress 2''.

The game was initially released for Windows and Mac on November 22, 2010; after Telltale Games' closure, ''Poker Night'' was delisted from Steam on May 23rd, 2019. A revised and remastered version of the game was released for modern platforms on March 5, 2026.

== Game Elements ==
===The Inventory===
[[Image:TheInventory.png|thumb|Outside the Inventory]]
'''The Inventory''' is a [[Clubs (organizations)|secret club]] where video game characters relax and play games when they aren't working. [[Strong Sad]] and [[Marzipan]] were part of a murder play here in [[Make a Scene with Telltale at PAX 2010]]. Later, [[Strong Bad]] and [[Pom Pom]] played Texas Hold 'Em poker here in Poker Night at the Inventory. The building appears to be a warehouse with a metal door and a lit sign displaying the words "The Inventory". This metal door isn't used, as a hidden elevator in the floor goes down into the real club below. The club is shown to have secret rooms, as a bookcase is opened and closed to allow passage to an unknown area. The club was founded in 1919, in response to an early draft of the {{w|Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution|prohibition amendment}}, which would also have outlawed games. The club has remained secret ever since, just in case a similar law is ever created in the future.

In the introduction, while going down the elevator, Pom Pom can be seen at the table. Later, when the player is being shown to the table, Pom Pom can be seen getting up and bouncing away, possibly in disgust. At one of the tables at the bar, a [[Maps and Minions]] game board from [[Strong Badia the Free]] can be briefly seen.

===Introduction Scene Transcript===
[[Image:Poker Table at The Inventory.png|thumb|The Inventory's Poker Table]]
'''WINSLOW:''' Oh hello there! Another enthusiast, I presume?

How good it is to see a fresh face here at The Inventory! I imagine you are here for the cardgame with fellows downstairs? Let me lead you down there.

A first timer hmm? I'm a bit more familiar with the...benefactions of the club. The club was founded in 1919 in response to an early draft of the 18th Amendment. Through...back channels it was learned that this vile piece of legislation would not only outlaw libations, but games and amusements that could also "threaten the world-renowned determination and productivity of the American work-force". Ha! Can you IMAGINE? Games OUTLAWED?

Nevertheless, this club has been here in secret ever since, just in case those "in charge", get another bee in their bonnet. So, welcome and enjoy yourself.

Ah, your table! ''{Turns to the poker table, with Max, Strong Bad, Heavy, and Tycho sitting around it}'' Ahem, gentlemen. I hope there is room at the table for a fifth.

'''MAX:''' Aha! Fresh meat!

''(At this point, one of the following scripts is chosen at random.)''

:'''WINSLOW:''' Tonight's stakes will be ten thousand dollars.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, just because you're the manager, you get to make the rules?
:'''WINSLOW:''' Manager? Ha ha, no, I am not under the employ of the Inventory. I just see to it that everybody has a good time. That will be ten thousand. I hope each of you brought your billfolds.
:{{short hr}}
: '''WINSLOW:''' Perhaps our newcomer would like to set the stakes for tonight's game? ''("The Player" tosses a bound stack of money onto the table.)'' That sounded like ten thousand dollars landing on the table to the note.
:{{short hr}}
: '''WINSLOW:''' Very well. In concordance with the house rules of the Inventory, set forth by Mr. Kent upon the club's founding, any congregation of five players around a no-limit hold'em table must play for the house stakes of seventy-five dollars.
:'''THE HEAVY:''' This is not too much.
:'''WINSLOW:''' Of course, these stakes were set in 1910 and with inflation... hm, let's see... eh, tonight's buy-in will be ten thousand dollars.

''{Each of the characters place money on the table}''

'''WINSLOW:''' The game will be No-Limit Texas Hold'Em. I will periodically raise the blinds. May the best player win! ''{Winslow leaves the table}''

===Strong Bad===
{{seealso|Strong Bad's Responses in Poker Night at the Inventory}}
[[File:DangeresqueGlasses PN26.png|thumb|Strong Bad dons "his" sunglasses in the 2026 remaster.]]
Strong Bad's play style is unpredictable and reckless, often aggressively {{w|Bluff (poker)|bluffing}} with a high wager (even going all in) on a subpar hand in an attempt to get others to fold. He may often be the first out, but his bluff-heavy style makes him hard to read and he can catch others off guard with a genuinely good hand.

Strong Bad engages in his typical humorously-threatening behavior during table cross-talk:
*He often teases the player about the poor value of their cards or their lack of skill compared to him.
*Strong Bad and Max get along reasonably well, though it is unclear how much they understand each other.
*The Heavy thinks Strong Bad is a "tiny Heavy", and is generally kinder to him. Strong Bad admires him but isn't above making fun of his game's sillier aspects.
*Tycho and Strong Bad have an antagonistic relationship, with Strong Bad belittling [[Penny Arcade|Tycho's website]] compared to [[homestarrunner.com|his own]].
Strong Bad additionally [[Fourth Wall Breaks|breaks the fourth wall]] and is well aware that he's a licensed character being exploited by Telltale Games, similar to how he was treated in [[Behind The Bad]].

Though the script for ''Poker Night at the Inventory'' was written in-house at Telltale, there was extensive collaboration with the creator-owners of its cast members; [[The Brothers Chaps|Matt and Mike Chapman]] are credited for "additional writing". Voice actor [[Matt Chapman]] also improvised new and alternate takes on Strong Bad's scripted lines during the recording process (as he had during the production of ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]]'').{{ref|1}}

====Dangeresque, Too?====
<blockquote>'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh... uh... I couldn't fit my briefcase full of cash in these pants on account of my [[Big Butts|ample hind-bosom]]. But I do have these cool-cool fadey-fadey shadey [[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]] glasses. They're worth like five ten thousand dollars-es. So, we're good. Right? ''{quietly}'' You guys bought that? 
'''VAN WINSLOW:''' If nobody else has a problem with it, Strong Bad will be buying in with collateral. Whoever knocks him out will receive his buy-in.</blockquote>

As the game begins, there is a chance that Strong Bad may make a different wager than the $10,000 ante {{--}} [[Dangeresque Too]]'s sunglasses. He will then wear the shades during the game, with them serving as collateral for the cash buy-in. If the player knocks Strong Bad out of the tournament (that is, if they win and Strong Bad goes bankrupt in the same hand), they win the sunglasses and are awarded the corresponding "Special Item: Strong Bad" achievement. If another computer-controlled character knocks Strong Bad out of the tournament, the item is no longer available to earn that round but Strong Bad may bet it again in the future; he will never wager the glasses again after the player has already won them, however.

Winning the sunglasses also makes them available as a cosmetic item in the game ''{{w|Team Fortress 2}}'', dubbed {{p|l=https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Dangeresque,_Too%3F Dangeresque, Too?}} therein. The 2026 version provides an item that is physically identical, but differentiated with the name [https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3897800/view/493842084753572649 "Reissued Dangeresque, Too?"]; players who own both versions of the game can unlock both the original and Reissued versions.

===Unlockables===
[[File:Homestar Runner deck.png|thumb|"These cards are like [[Strong Bad's Ladies|the ladies]]: they WISH they were getting played by me."]]
The player is rewarded with an {{w|Unlockable (gaming)|unlockable}} after each win, a playing table every first and second win and a card deck every third win. The Homestar Runner-related items are:

* After two wins: [[Trogdor]] table. A green design with an intricate Trogdor pattern at the center and singed edges.
* After six wins: Homestar Runner deck. A deck of cards with pixelated designs. The picture cards are:
**Ace: Spade has Videlectrix Logo
**King: Strong Bad with a crown
**Queen: [[The Cheat]] holding a flower
**Jack: [[Homestar Runner]]
**Back of Cards: Blue with white star in center.
* After 10 wins: [[Videlectrix]] table. A red, orange, and yellow table with the Videlectrix logo in the center and their slogan below. Using this table turns Strong Bad's model into [[Retro Gaming Character Variations|a low-polygon variation]].
* After 13 wins: [[Strong Badia]] table. A table with the Strong Badia [[flag day|flag design]] overlaid on the surface.
* After 15 wins: Poker Night deck. The hearts are all Homestar Runner-related, with the King, Queen, and Jack being [[Strong Sad]], Strong Bad, and Homestar Runner respectively.
* After 20 wins: Telltale Shield table. Black table with symbols all the players and Telltale logo in the center. Also causes Strong Bad to turn into his polygon version.
* After 21 wins: Poker Night alternate deck. The deck has the same royals as the first Poker Night deck, but has a different back (black and white circles with the Inventory logo in the center) and an inverted color scheme (instead of the suits having the color, the entire card is the color and the suits are white).
* After 22 wins (2026 remake): Inventory Security. The table is made of glass and shows secruity monitors underneath that rotate between different feeds. One features Homestar Runner sitting on the couch in the basement of the [[House of the Brothers Strong]].
* After 24 wins (2026 remake) Control Point. The table becomes a Control Point from Team Fortress 2 and changes color and projected hologram when a player takes the lead. When Strong Bad is leading, it turns green and projects a hologram of the Strong Badian Flag.

== 2026 Version ==
[[File:Poker Night 2026 Keyart.png|thumb|Fast, slick, and shiny {{--}} [[redesign|like Flo Jo in a tuxedo]]!]]
On February 4, 2026, Telltale successor [[Skunkape Games]] announced a rerelease of the game; Skunkape Games is a small team of ex-Telltale employees (unaffiliated with {{w|Telltale Games (2018–present)|LCG Entertainment's modern incarnation of Telltale}}) that obtained the rights to the studio's ''[[Sam & Max]]'' games after its 2018 closure.{{ref|2}}

The revised ''Poker Night at the Inventory'' (sharing the same name as the original game), was released for Steam, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4 on March 5, 2026. In addition to compatibility with modern platforms, this rerelease includes graphical adjustments and enhancements, expanded options, new unlockables, and revised poker-playing AI.

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*This was the [[first]] official [[wikipedia:fictional crossover|crossover]] involving the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work.
*[[Swears]] are in the game, with the option to bleep them out. This option does not affect Strong Bad's swears, however, which are always bleeped out.
*Strong Bad's character bio reads:<blockquote>Heralding from the oft-overlooked municipality of [[Strong Badia]], Strong Bad enjoys [[heavy metal]] music, [[Video Game References|video games]], [[cold ones]], [[Strong Bad's Technology|computers]], jetpacks, [[chainsaw]] arms, [[fireworks]], jumps, [[Strong Bad's Ladies|babes]], and [[guitar]]-[[axes]] (both guitars with a sharp edge and axes that go [[Onomatopoeia|"squiddelydoo"]] when they chop wood). His poker strategy consists of belittling his opponents and hoping they fall prey to his "natural musk fog." Watch the critically acclaimed drama "[[Strong Bad email]]s," where Strong Bad checks his email on [[Homestarrunner.com]] or be sure to catch his made for TV movie "The Loneliest Rainbow". Check your local listings for showtimes.</blockquote>
*Strong Bad uses [[The Poopsmith]]'s shovel to scoop up chips.
*Pom Pom makes a cameo in the introduction wearing the pre-order bonus Dealer's Visor for ''Team Fortress 2'', attempting to join the game. He leaves when they choose Tycho to play instead.
*The ''Poker Night'' soundtrack is composed of downtempo instrumental jazz {{w|Cover version|covers}}, including versions of [[The Theme from Dangeresque II|the theme from ''Dangeresque II'']] and "[[Trogdor (song)|Trogdor]]".
*Strong Bad bets the Dangeresque Too shutter shades, even though they belong to Homestar and not him.
**Max, similarly, bets ''Sam'''s Freelance Police badge (alongside his own gun).
**The Pac-Man watch has switched hands between Tycho and Gabe so many times it's unclear who it "really" belongs to.
* $75 in 1910 would only be roughly $1,700 in 2010 money ($2,500 in 2026).

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad mentions [[The Cheat]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Bubs]], [[Homsar]], [[The King of Town]], and [[Marzipan]].
*One taunt Strong Bad will use is "Looks like you're gonna have to fold!" This is a reference to [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]]'s catchphrase, "Looks like I'm gonna have to jump!"
*Strong Bad refers to the Heavy as "[["Man" pronounced as "m'n"|Heavym'n]]"
*The Heavy misunderstands Strong Bad when he asks if he can take care of [[The King of Town]] for him, thinking Strong Bad wants to [[Death|assassinate him]]. When Strong Bad learns that The Heavy wants to assassinate the King, he [[Strong Bad and The King of Town's Relationship|shrugs it off]] with a simple "oh well".
*Strong Bad suggests that the Heavy should come live in the [[House of the Brothers Strong|House of Strong]], implying that the Heavy would displace Strong Sad.
*Strong Bad says "Flops are stupid, but [[Floppy Disk Container|floppy disks]] are [[portmanteaus|analog-awesome]]."
*Strong Bad says "Flop, flop [[crap]]. Crop. Trying to make it rhyme. See what I was doing there?"
*Strong Bad tells Tycho he will kick him in his groin[[-face]].
*Strong Bad is upset when Tycho asks him what he'll do if he ever gets a lady, and Strong Bad says he had to [[Strong Bad's Ladies|cancel five dates]] with nine supermodels just to be there. When asked [[How do you type with boxing gloves on?|how he manages to unhook a bra with his boxing glove hands]], Strong Bad says [[Underwear|bras]] fly right off when they enter his "natural musk fog".
*When The Heavy asks if Strong Bad wrestles, Strong Bad says he's a [[wrestleman]], not a "wrestle...ER".
*Strong Bad says he can "buy a new [[Compy, Inc.|Compy]] with that pot. One with a half-core processor".
*Sometimes, when Strong Bad has to make a decision to call a large bet, he will state that this decision is harder "than the time both [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship|Strong Sad]] and [[Homestar Runner and Strong Bad's Relationship|Homestar]] asked me for dessert, and I only had one laxative-laced brownie left."
*If Strong Bad wins two hands in a row, he'll say "You know, I'll just keep winning. Same [[type]] deal. [[Twice]] [[times]], twice times".
*Strong Bad mentions "[[jibblie]] nightmares".
*Periodically, Strong Bad will state that he's "totally in this hand. [[trevor the vampire|Total, man.]]"
*Tycho and Strong Bad have a very antagonistic relationship with one another. Examples include Tycho claiming that [[Strong Badia]] is nothing but a deflated [[tire]] and a piece of dog [[whatsit]]. Strong Bad also shows envy toward Tycho's popularity and says that his [[wikipedia:Penny Arcade Expo|Penny Arcade Expo]] is nothing without him.
*Strong Bad shows [[gender confusion]] when he offers to be Team Mother of The Heavy's RED Team.
*After Tycho's short but disturbing monologue about the wonders of the hedgehog spines, Strong Bad responds, "Oh, nothing. Just [[puking]] in my [[pants]]." This may be a reference to the email [[secret recipes]].
*Sometimes when the player wins a hand, Strong Bad will claim that it's not as impressive as "the time he had a full house and a flush [[Blatant Lies|in one hand]]. A flush house."
*When Strong Bad mentions how the [[cold ones]] at the Inventory are supposedly good, Tycho [[Ages of Characters|questions Strong Bad's age]]: "Aren't you like, ten?". Strong Bad retorts with "You shut face."
*The Heavy reveals that his favorite video game is [[Where's An Egg?]].
*Tycho asks Strong Bad [[How do you type with boxing gloves on?|how he can do anything with "hands like those"]].
*When Max questions if Strong Bad has a criminal record, Strong Bad references the events of the [[Behind the Bad]] videos and stated that the game Videlectrix made with the stolen source codes helped create one of the most successful video games... in Guam.
*Strong Bad will occasionally advertise [[homestarrunner.com]] to the player and immediately pressure Max to do a joint promotion for the Telltale Games store. This is a possible reference to the fact that these two characters are the primary representatives of Telltale Games in Poker Night (as Heavy is owned by Valve and Tycho's only prior video game appearance was developed by Hothead Games).
*Among the weapons Strong Bad claims to have, one is a "custom [[nunchuck gun]]", the weapon of [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]].
*Strong Bad describes the [[Bogus Mathematical Theorems|Inverse Property of]] [[Hyphen-Have|Luck-Have]].

===Real-World References===
*Strong Bad compares Max to a [[Pokémon]] and the [[Disney]] character {{w|Stitch (Lilo & Stitch)|Stitch}}.
*Strong Bad compares Tycho's hair to "a greasy hedgehog... unassociated with any video game license", referring to the ''{{w|Sonic the Hedgehog (series)|Sonic the Hedgehog}}'' series from [[Sega]].
*One of the lines Strong Bad can say when raising is "raisin' in the sun", a reference to the play ''{{w|A Raisin in the Sun}}''.
*Strong Bad says playing poker at The Inventory was "better than poker night at Homestar's. [[Marzipan]] is always walking around [[Naked Homestar Runner|au-natural]] trying to get us to play no-loser Candy Land," referring to the board game {{w|Candy Land}}.
*The Heavy wants Strong Bad to join the {{p|l=http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/RED RED Team}}. ''Team Fortress 2'' features the adversarial color-coded RED and BLU teams; RED is typically featured in promotional media, exemplified by the RED Heavy appearing in this game.
*When Strong Bad busts out, he can be seen in the background playing on a Bluster Blaster video game from ''[[Sam & Max]]''.
*In the intro movie, before reaching the poker table, Monty Muzzle from ''[[Wallace & Gromit|Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures]]'', and Sam, Stinky, Momma Bosco, and Flint Paper from ''[[Sam & Max]]'' can be seen. Trixie Trotter, a character from ''[[Back to the Future|Back to the Future: The Game]]'', can also be seen going into a secret room.
* Max tells Strong Bad about a story where Flint Paper beat up a poker instructor named Artie Flopshark for allegedly stealing money (also "Artie Flopshark, deceased" is one of the possible ranks in the game). Artie Flopshark was the fictional writer of the tutorial of Telltale's first poker game, ''{{w|Telltale Texas Hold'em}}''.

===Fast Forward===
*Despite the fact that Strong Bad (or any other Homestar Runner character) does not physically appear in the game's sequel ''{{w|Poker Night 2}}'', the theme song remains the same, including the pieces of the Dangeresque theme.
*A picture of Strong Bad, The Heavy, Tycho, and Max playing poker can be seen on the wall at the entrance of The Inventory in ''Poker Night 2''.

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Emailin' from the left and to the right, emailin' on a Tuuuuesday night!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: none</div>
Dear awesome Strong Bad. 
Could you please show us some of your awesome wrestling 
moves. 
Gardenboy 
Bfn SA 
</blockquote>

''{After "Strong Bad", Strong Bad says "Period. That's the best sentence ever written!" He reads the location as "Best friends never, South Africa".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Gardenboy, as a crafty ring veteran, I can let you in on a little secret: being an awesome wrestler has nothing to do with awesome wrestling moves! ''{clears screen}'' It's all about awesome costumes, gimmicks, and dinosaur tranquilizer fueled ranting and raving! I got my first big break with cable access's longest named wrestling organization: All World Mid-Pro Shirtless Championship Entertainment, or AWMPSCE. ''{pronounces "OMP-skee"}'' Of course, they wanted me to be one of those lame masked wrestlers at first, but I had gimmickier plans.

''{Cut to a photograph of Strong Bad wearing a crown and a wrestling suit that has a crown printed on it. The picture is labeled "Sir Boliver Turnbuckle".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Sir Boliver Turnbuckle and his signature move:

''{Another picture appears with Strong Bad in his Turnbuckle outfit standing behind Strong Sad, with Strong Bad's arm grabbing Strong Sad below his own arm. The picture is labeled "Master of the 1/8th Nelson!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The one-eighth nelson!

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' That was back in the days when pretending to be a pompous Brit was considered a ''premium'' gimmick. Once I started getting more popular, my next incarnation was

''{Cut to the Gymatorium's doors. A piece of paper with an AWMPSCE logo is taped on sideways.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And hailing from the age of exploration, the namer of nations,

''{The doors swing open. Strong Bad is posing behind them. He is wearing an orange beret, a frilly white shirt, and a brown vest. The words "il Cartographer" appear at the bottom of the screen.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' il Cartographer!

''{Strong Bad poses as though he's expecting applause, but all that can be heard are some singers and the King of Town.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{from offscreen}'' Booooooo!

'''BACKING SINGERS:''' il Cartographer!

'''LEAD SINGER:''' He makin' the maps!

'''BACKING SINGERS:''' il Cartographer!

'''LEAD SINGER:''' He takin' no crap!

''{Strong Bad steps forward and throws pieces of paper at the empty seats.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And one of my gimmicks was that I'd always come into the ring throwing{{--}}

''{One of Strong Bad's papers stops in front of the camera. It is a map of the Gymatorium and shows the way from one of the seats ("here be you") to "the can", as the toilet is labeled. The map is labeled "Ye Olde Restroom Trail".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' maps to the restrooms into the crowd!

''{Cut to the ring; Strong Bad is holding a flag.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{fake Italian accent}'' I claim-a this saggy ring in the name of il Cartographer!

''{He taps the flag and it unfurls itself and flaps in imaginary wind, showing an image of Strong Bad's beret with "the il-est" written below it.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{from offscreen}'' Booooo!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' That was back when my big feud with Homestar Runner was in full swing!

''{Cut to a closeup of Homestar Runner's torso. He is wearing red pants that read "'EM UP!" in bold white lettering. The screen slowly pans back.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{from offscreen}'' Ladies and gentlemen! Joining me backstage in historic empty high school gymnasium{{--}}

''{The Announcer can now be seen standing next to Homestar, who is facing away from the camera.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' is a man that needs no introduction. Introducing: The Jack 'Em Up Kid!

''{The words "The Jack 'Em Up Kid" appear at the bottom of the screen. Homestar turns toward the camera. His chest has what appears to be cinnamon "stubble" on it, and his hat has no propeller.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, you know, announcer man, that's right! Hoo, yeah! Jack 'Em Up Kid, empty high school gymnasium, ''{holds up a belt with bacon and eggs carved into the buckle}'' Sizzleweight Belt on the line! Hoo, yeah! That's right! That's correct! That's precisely what I'm talking about! I got the drive, I got the commotion! I can't believe it! Hoo, yeah! el Photographer, whatchoo gonna did? ''{raises his pants on each word until his pants completely cover his face}'' When you get jacked up? ''{snaps the elastic band, which muffles his speech}'' By the Jack 'Em Up Kid!

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And that feud carried over into my tag team phase with Strong Mad. Naturally, there were several misfires before we found our groove.

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Strong Mad dressed like tourists. Strong Mad is wearing a purple Hawaiian shirt, while Strong Bad wears a pair of sunglasses and has sunscreen smeared over his nonexistent nose. Both wear fishing hats and cameras.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nothing can stop the Wild Vacationers!

''{"The Wild Vacationers" appears at the bottom of the screen. With a blip, the scene cuts to Strong Bad and Strong Mad in black spandex outfits. Strong Bad is wearing a headband with a big knife tucked into it, and his pants have a wooden board, a wrench, and one other unidentifiable object in them. Strong Mad has a razor blade lodged in his bleeding and apparently scarred forehead, a hammer tucked into his singlet, and the outline of a gun fully inside his singlet. A chainsaw blade can be seen behind him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You betta not mess with the Foreign Object Brothers!

''{"The Foreign Object Bros." appears at the bottom of the screen. With a blip, the scene cuts to Strong Bad and Strong Mad wearing spiky shoulder pads. Strong Mad's singlet is red and has "RAX" written on it. Strong Bad wears a green mohawk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Rax and Arby: The Sanctum of Spiky Shoulder Pads.

''{"The Sanctum of Spiky Shoulder Pads" appears at the bottom of the screen. With a blip, it cuts to the Announcer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But we finally settled on...

''{The screen pans over to Strong Bad and Strong Mad with heavy facepaint. Strong Mad's singlet reads "FACEPAINT CONNECTION".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Facepaint Connection! Jack 'Em Up Kid, Gary the Legend, when we step into the ring with the insidious Mr. Cheatayama,

''{Pans over to show The Cheat with a bowler derby and facepaint that resembles a mustache and goatee. He is holding a whisk. It pans back after a moment.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You better hope for your guts and your mercy ''{looks confused for a moment}'' can save you at this Sunday's PayPerViewver Series.

''{"PayPerViewver Series - Sunday 9PM" appears at the bottom of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I didn't climb the mountains and breathe the facepainted fumes just to let you two walk away with the title I'm done take me off the air! ''{frantically}'' TAKE ME OFF THE AIR!!!

''{Static cuts to Homestar, still in his Jack 'Em Up Kid outfit, holding a microphone.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hoo, yeah! That's right! Facepaint Connection! You can't resist the power of all the screamin' Jack 'Emites and Jack 'Emettes out there when I pin you to the ground for a count of three which is the legal way to win a match in this wrestling federation the last time I checked. Gary the Legend, take it away!

''{He holds the microphone out to his partner. The screen cuts back, revealing that there is nobody there.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that Gary the Legend was Homestar's ''imaginary'' tag team partner.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{to "Gary"}'' You tell 'em! You tell 'em, Gary! Hoo, yeah!

''{Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Eventually I began wrestling as my own dang self and finally achieved what every wrestler strives for: my own in-ring interview segment! Never before had two chairs and a potted plant so transformed the wrestling ring!

''{Cut to the Gymatorium.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{from offscreen}'' It's time for another installment of{{--}}

''{The words "Strong Bad's Folding Chair DUNGEON" appear onscreen. The word "DUNGEON" drips blood.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{from offscreen}'' Strong Bad's Folding Chair Dungeon!

''{Cut to the ring, where Strong Bad can be seen with a microphone. Behind him is a table with a potted plant and a skull on it, with two folding chairs next to it. A red rug sits underneath it all.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Welcome back to the darkest dankest regions of my dungeon! My prisoner this week is the current fizzleweight belt holder: The Jack 'Em Up Kid!

''{Homestar, still in costume, jumps into the ring.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hoo, yeah! Hoo, yeah!

''{Strong Bad hits him with one of the folding chairs, knocking him out. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So you see Gardenboy, you should stop trying to perfect the Summer Squash Suplex and instead get yourself a rake, a straw hat, maybe a watering can and start screaming about how your opponents are gophers!

''{Cut to the Gymatorium's doors. Singing can be heard in the background. The doors open to reveal Strong Sad with a hat, rake, and watering can.}''

'''BACKING SINGERS:''' Gardenboy!

'''LEAD SINGER:''' He's plantin' the seeds!

'''BACKING SINGERS:''' Gardenboy!

'''LEAD SINGER:''' He's pullin' out the weeds!

'''BACKING SINGERS:''' Gardenboy!

'''LEAD SINGER:''' He's gonna bring ya to your knees!

'''BACKING SINGERS:''' He's the il Cartographer, I mean, Gardenboy!

'''STRONG SAD:''' All right, all you gophers out there, ha-bring-it-on!

''{He holds up the watering can, which spouts two flames. [[New Paper]] comes down.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*"Bfn" stands for "{{wp|Bloemfontein}}", one of South Africa's three capital cities. It is the judicial capital (with {{wp|Pretoria}} being the executive capital and {{wp|Cape Town}} being the legislative one).
**Strong Bad reads it as "best friends never", which is a play on the abbreviation "BFF", meaning "Best friends forever".
*The "1/8 nelson" is not a wrestling hold, but the half-nelson and three-quarter [[wikipedia:Nelson hold|nelson]] are amateur wrestling holds designed to get a quick pinfall, and the full nelson (which is illegal in NCAA wrestling) is a famous submission hold in the professional ranks.
*A [[Wikipedia:cartographer|cartographer]] is a mapmaker.
*"Masked wrestling" is [[Wikipedia: Lucha Libre|Lucha Libre]], a Mexican form of pro wrestling (which Strong Bad was initially designed after).

===Trivia===
*This sbemail was released Tuesday night instead of the usual Monday morning, as Strong Bad points out in his opening song.
*This is the first time that Homestar's body under the neckline is shown uncensored.
*Homestar's hat doesn't have its propeller.
*The week after the email's release, a [[Main Page Message]] reading "old strong bad email" was posted as a link to it.
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad discusses the various costumes and gimmicks from his wrestling days."
*This is the only known email [[Strong Bad Email By Place#South Africa|from a South African viewer]].

===Remarks===
*"Gymatorium" is a [[portmanteau]] of gymnasium and auditorium.
*The All World Mid-Pro Shirtless Championship Entertainment has a lot of shirt-wearing wrestlers. Il Cartographer, in particular, is not only wearing a frilly shirt but a fine leather vest.
*"Il Cartographer" is incorrect Italian for "The Cartographer". The correct Italian would be "Il Cartografo".
**Additionally, "The Il Cartographer" is redundant as it uses the article twice.

===Goofs===
*Il Cartographer's hat does not move in sync with his head.
*When Strong Bad puts up his "il-est" flag, the floor reads "AWMPSE" instead of "AWMPSCE."
*There is a noticeable break in the cricket soundtrack in the costume Easter egg, at the end.
*Strong Bad's "The Vacationers" sunglasses lack earpieces.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Initially, when Strong Bad says "dinosaur tranquilizer fueled ranting and raving", "fueled" was misspelled on the computer screen as "feuled". This was fixed the next day.

===Inside References===
*The subject of this email is [[professional wrestling]].
*Homestar Runner, as The Jack 'Em Up Kid, has a wrestling belt with an image of [[bacon]] and [[eggs]].
*Homestar is wearing what could be described as a form of [[long pants]].
*Strong Bad, as il Cartographer, wears an orange [[beret]].
*The Easter egg for clicking on the watering can is a reference to the ending of most [[Halloween]] cartoons, including the [[What are you supposed to be?|inability to recognize Strong Bad's costume]].
*The Cheat, as the Insidious Mr. Cheatayama, wears a black [[bowler hat]].
*As one of the Foreign Object Brothers, Strong Bad has a [[big knife]] tucked in his [[headband]].
*As one of the Foreign Object Brothers, Strong Mad has a razor stuck in his forehead, which is causing him to [[blood|bleed]]. Also, in "Strong Bad's Folding Chair DUNGEON", the word "DUNGEON" is dripping with blood.
*At the end of the email, Strong Sad's watering can inexplicably spurts [[fire]].
*The singers for Strong Sad's entrance music are the same singers for [[The Thnikkaman]]'s theme song. A voice similar to [[Crackotage]]'s can be heard among the singers.
*The scoreboard shows an [[Scoreboard#Irregular Scores|irregular score]] of "?" for the Home team, and viewing the Flash file reveals the other score to be "$", both seen in [[the paper]].
*Homestar has [[cinnamon]] on his chest.
*The King of Town is heard [[The King of Town Booing|booing]].
*Strong Bad's wrestling Homestar, as well as Strong Mad being his tag team partner, are both allusions to [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]].
*During Strong Bad's rant as a member of the Facepaint Connection, he appears to give the [[double deuce]].
*Strong Mad has a [[gun]] in his singlet as one of the Foreign Object Brothers.
*Strong Bad mentions his [[Own Dang X|Own Dang Self]].
*"il Cartographer" is another appearance of [[lowercase i's]].
*The potted plant in the in-ring interview segment is [[Credenza]].

===Real-World References===
====Wrestling References====
*The Cheat's character is based on famous wrestling manager "[[Wikipedia:Harry Fujiwara|Mr. Fuji]]".
*Strong Bad's interview segment is based on many wrestlers having interview segments (most famously [[Wikipedia:Roddy Piper|Roddy Piper]]'s [[Wikipedia:Piper's Pit|Piper's Pit]]) mid-show.
*"Pay-per-viewver Series" refers to {{w|Survivor Series}}, a [[Wikipedia:World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] [[pay-per-view]] event.
*The Sanctum of Spiky Shoulder Pads is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Road Warriors|Road Warriors]] tag team (aka the Legion of Doom), who became famous for their shoulder pads covered in spikes.
*As a member of The Foreign Object Brothers, Strong Mad has a sledgehammer hidden in his tights. This is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Triple H|Triple H]], who uses such a hammer as a trademark foreign object.
*The razor blade lodged in Strong Mad's forehead as part of his costume as a Foreign Objects Brother references [[Wikipedia:Blading (professional wrestling)|blading]], the method that professional wrestlers use to make themselves bleed mid-match. Blading involves using a razor blade like Strong Mad's to surreptitiously cut oneself mid-match so that nobody notices that the cut is self-inflicted. Many older wrestlers have noticeable scar tissue on their forehead (much like Strong Mad does in the clip) from blading hundreds of times in their careers.

Both of its members would become icons, [[Wikipedia:Sting (wrestler)|Sting]] and the [[Wikipedia:Warrior (wrestler)|Ultimate Warrior]].
** Strong Bad's interview talking about The Jack 'Em Up Kid is a twist on an [[Wikipedia:Ultimate Warrior|Ultimate Warrior]] interview, which were, more often than not, nonsensical.
*Homestar's costume and stage-name resemble that of veteran pro-wrestler Shawn Michaels, [[Wikipedia:Shawn Michaels|the Heartbreak Kid]].
*Homestar's quote, "Whatchoo gonna did, when you get jacked up by the Jack 'Em Up Kid?" is a twist of [[Wikipedia:Hulk Hogan|Hulk Hogan]]'s famous interview-ending catchphrase, "Whatcha gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild on you?!" In addition, beginning "Well you know, announcer man..." is similar to Hogan's famous interview opening, "Well ya know something, Mean Gene...", addressed to long-time wrestling personality [[Wikipedia:Gene Okerlund|"Mean" Gene Okerlund]].

*Homestar's frequent use of the phrase "Hoo yeah!" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Randy Savage|Macho Man Randy Savage]], whose famous catchphrase was "Oooh yeah!"
*Strong Bad saying, "TAKE ME OFF THE AIR!!!" is a reference to a [[Wikipedia:Paul Heyman|Paul Heyman]] shoot promo from an episode of ''[[Wikipedia:ECW on TNN|ECW on TNN]]'' in 2000.
**It could also be a reference to an interview from "Macho Man" Randy Savage in 1980, in which he promises to destroy his opponent and then, as Strong Bad does, quickly ends by twice demanding to be taken off the air.
*"Dinosaur tranquilizer fueled ranting and raving" is a reference to an event that happened on the television show ''[[Wikipedia:WWE Friday Night SmackDown!|SmackDown!]]'' in February 2005, when then-champion [[Wikipedia:John Layfield|John Bradshaw Layfield]] was shot with a [[Wikipedia:Tranquilizer dart|tranquilizer dart]] and went into a rant with an inflatable dinosaur in front of a Tokyo crowd (or it could be a reference to the Ultimate Warrior's drug-fuelled promos).
* Strong Bad's comment of "That was back in the days when pretending to be a pompous Brit was considered a premium gimmick" relates to wrestlers such as the "Lord" Steven Regal ([[Wikipedia:Darren Matthews|William Regal]]), [[Wikipedia:Dave Taylor (wrestler)|"Squire" Dave Taylor]] and [[Wikipedia:Bobby Eaton|"Earl" Bobby Eaton]] ([[Wikipedia:The Blue Bloods|The Blue Bloods]]), as well as a reference to other wrestlers who falsify their claim to British royalty.
* The "Entertainment" in AWMPSCE is a reference to WWE, World Wrestling Entertainment, who changed their name in 2002 from the World Wrestling Federation, or WWF, in response to a cease-and-desist order from the [[Wikipedia:World Wide Fund For Nature|World Wide Fund For Nature]], formerly the World Wildlife Fund, who used the same initials.
* Gary the Legend is a reference to wrestler and commentator "Larry The Legend," also known as [[Wikipedia: Larry Zbyszko|Larry "The Living Legend" Zbyszko]].
* Strong Sad/Gardenboy's flame-throwing watering can is a reference to TNA wrestler/booker/owner [[Wikipedia:Jeff Jarrett|Jeff Jarrett]], who often makes his entrance holding a pyro-spewing guitar over his head.
*Gymatorium is also a reference to the "[[wikipedia:Dallas Sportatorium|Dallas Sportatorium]]" where the old indie promotion [[Wikipedia:World Class Championship Wrestling|WCCW]] used to hold their matches.

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

'''MATT:''' Why do you think this one is called, "Yes, comma, Wrestling," Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Well, because, you know, Strong Bad sort of always ''avoided'' that he's a Mexican wrestler.

'''MATT:''' Ahhh.

'''MIKE:''' A luchador.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I don't like that word.

'''MIKE:''' Luchador?

'''MATT:''' Yeah. ''{slight pause}'' I half-blame Jack Black.

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

'''MATT:''' And I half-blame that cartoon, that everybody thought we were ripping off early on. Is that cartoon still around, even?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno.

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Have we outlasted it? {{--}}I hope.

'''MIKE:''' I think so.

'''MATT:''' We grew up watching wrestling, ''{pronounced with a hard "t"}'' Mike.

'''MIKE:''' We did. We used to watch it{{--}}

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' We'd go to great-grandma's house and watch some wrestling.

'''MIKE:''' I don't remember that.

'''MATT:''' Yeah but, Donnie said ''{unintelligible, trails off}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Donnie did. ''{laughs}'' Yeah. I remember watching it on noon{{--}} at noon, on Sunday afternoon, All American Wrestling.

'''MATT:''' Yup. Except that one, remember that one Lent when we gave up watching wrestling?

'''MIKE:''' That was rough!

'''MATT:''' That was hard, ''{Mike laughs}'' hard to get through.

'''MIKE:''' That was{{--}} I'm sure, I'm sure God appreciated us giving up wrestling.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I'm uh{{--}} I remember this one time where brother Mike, uh... I forget who Hulk Hogan was wrestling, maybe The Iron Sheik?

'''MIKE:''' No, it was Greg "The Hammer" Valentine.

'''MATT:''' Oh, there you go. And so Mike, uh, put on a, a homemade Hulkamania shirt? Or did you have a real one?

'''MIKE:''' I had one at some point, ''{laughs}'' but I definitely had a homemade one too.

'''MATT:''' It may have been, uh, the real one. And then he had a Hulkamania finger, "Hulkamania's Runnin' Wild" finger or whatever.

'''MIKE:''' And a glossy maybe?

'''MATT:''' Stuck that on{{--}} yeah, glossy of Hulk Hogan. And I think maybe even that drawing that Donnie's friend Adam had drawn of Hulk Hogan?

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' ''{laughing}'' Uh huh.

'''MATT:''' And uh, he made this little shrine, to just sort of be like, all right{{--}}

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' During the match, as if it were live. I was like, "Okay, if I set all this stuff up, Hulk's ''definitely'' gonna win."

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

'''MIKE:''' So the il Cartographer is kind of, uh, The Genius...?

'''MATT:''' Mm-hmm.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, what was another one of his{{--}}that was uh Lanny Poffo's... He would read, read poems on a frisbee{{--}}!

'''MATT:''' Yup.

'''MIKE:''' and then throw them out to the crowd.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Very...

''{Homestar pulls tights up}''

'''MATT:''' He really jacked those pants up, Mike.

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

'''MATT:''' Uh, our friend Cooper, made up a rapper, back in the day named "M.C. Jack 'Em Up".

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Forgot about M.C. Jack 'Em Up.

'''MATT:''' Those should{{--}} Wild Vacationers could als{{--}} could also be the Wild Hunter S. Thompsons.

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

'''MATT:''' ''{reacting to The Sanctum of Spiky Shoulder Pads}'' Look at that! The Road Warriors{{--}}

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' RAX.

'''MATT:''' {{--}}slash Legion of Doom, slash... who else was there?

'''MIKE:''' Uh, Demolition.

'''MATT:''' Demolition.

'''MIKE:''' Legion of Doom and Road Warriors were the same. They just has, and the... ''{trails off}''

'''MATT:''' Look at the Insidious Mr. Cheatayama!

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

'''MATT:''' What is he going to do with that whisk?!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah, the manager that always had a, uh, totem.

'''MATT:''' ''{both laugh}'' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Mouth of the South had his megaphone... Jim Cornette had a tennis racket... ''{laughs}''

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

'''MIKE:''' Mr. Fuji had his cane...

'''MATT:''' Bobby Heenan never really had anything, did he?

'''MIKE:''' No.

'''MATT:''' He just had... a glittery jacket, with his name on it, usually.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' The Slickster had a... boombox. ''{laughs}''

'''MATH:''' ''{laughs}'' Uh, I would kinda like to, um... I think I'd like a wrestling show. Somewhere{{--}} I'm surprised no one made a wrestling show that is just ''this''. Like there's no match, like you don't see, I{{--}} you don't see any matches, you just see the in-between.

'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah. Just the{{--}}

'''MATT:''' ''{continuing}'' It's kinda like that, uh, brawl thing. Our{{--}} our local improv, one of our local improv places did{{--}} basically did that. They would just do the in-between match stuff, and then they would play, they'd just like everybody would watch them{{--}}

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Oh, it was a wrestling game?

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' {{--}}play some like, WWF game, for like, the PlayStation.

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

'''MATT:''' And then they'd comm{{--}} they'd do commentary over that, but then it would go back to them{{--}}

'''MIKE:''' Interviewing?

'''MATT:''' Yup.

'''MIKE:''' So they still do this. They still have these in-ring interview things, where they just like...

'''MATT:''' Put a carpet down? ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Put a carpet, and maybe one prop down! And then have an interview that ends up being{{--}} turning into a little fight.

''{Strong Bad hits Homestar over the head with a folding chair}''

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

'''MATT:''' Oh, man, that was ''rough!'' Yeah, who{{--}} shouldn't you know if you're gonna be guest on one of those, ''{Mike starts to laugh}'' in{{--}} in{{--}} ''in-ring'' interview programs, that like, this is probably going to turn into a wrestling match at some point? You're ''in'' a wrestling ring, for Pete's sake.

''{the Gardenboy theme song plays}''

'''MATT:''' That's a good theme song there.

'''MIKE:''' Mm-hmm.

'''MATT:''' Did we{{--}} never owned "Piledriver", did we? Or "Piledriver, Volume 2"?

'''MIKE:''' No. I dunno why.

'''MATT:''' Oh yeah.

'''MIKE:''' ''{continues, overlapping}'' 'Cause we certainly{{--}} we were certainly still in thick of, into being all{{--}} being into all of that when it came out.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. ''{sadly, reminiscent of Strong Sad's voice}'' Oh.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on guys! Get your heads in the game.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
Right now I am putting off writing a 
paper for my English class. Can you 
write my Englilsh paper for me? I 
don't even care if it's good or not, 
I just don't want to do it. 
 
Kyle Smith, 
Manhattan, Kansas</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad stops and says "Ahh. Never get tired of how that sounds" after reading "Dear Strong Bad". He also reads "Englilsh" as "Englilish".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Umm... ''{typing}'' I don't really think you need to worry about it being any good if ''you'' write it, Kyle. But I'll take a crack at it.

''{Cut to a blank sheet of paper.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So let's start out with the title page. ''{typing}'' "A Well Thought-Out Englilsh Paper" by Kyle Smith. ''{stops typing}'' You know, it couldn't hurt to soup up your name a little bit, Kyle. Y'know, like throw a cool nickname in there, like Kyle "The Yellow Dart" Smith. ''{"The Yellow Dart" appears in Kyle Smith's name}'' Oh, yeah! That right there will get you five to ten extra credit points easy. ''{"+5" and "+10" appear on the paper in red ink, followed by "cool nickname!" with an arrow pointing to the nickname}'' Then you move into the introduction. ''{Strong Bad starts typing the essay}'' Chances are, this is all your teacher's gonna read before they give you a grade, so... that's why the cool nickname is so important. "The Yellow Dart." I'm awesome. ''{"+5 nickname still cool!" appears on the paper.}'' Then you got the body, which is-a my personal favorite...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Hey, Strong Bad! I'm inside your house.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover, while typing the essay}'' Oh. That sucks. What can I do for ya?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Can I have the rest of this breakfast burrito?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I guess. What do you want it for?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Umm... I'm gonna try and sell it at some type of online auction.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Hey, do whatcha gotta do. Look, I'm busy writing a paper for my man "The Yellow Dart" over here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Okay bye! ''{runs off}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to Homestar, still voiceover}'' Uh, you won't get more than three-fifty for it! Believe me, I've tried.

''{Cut to the essay as written sitting on a desk}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Okay, so I think we're just about done. We just need to apply a little double-space action... ''{The essay becomes double-spaced}'' or, uh... maybe a little triple-space action... ''{The essay becomes triple-spaced}'' then I'd beef it up with some random diagrams... That can't hurt.

''{The diagram is a comparison of eating one battery to eating five batteries. Cut to Strong Bad sitting in front of the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I think it's pretty good as-is, but, uh... couldn't hurt to throw a little cash in there to uh... seal the deal. ''{typing}'' Alright The Yellow Dart, you owe me, man. Can't nobody say Strong Bad never did nothing for the peoples. Now it is my intention to sit down and play video games for several hours.

''{Strong Bad gets up, [[The Paper]] comes down, and the essay appears onscreen.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end of the email, flip to the page after the title page and click on the words "The Cheat's allowance" to see the [[Some Type of Online Auction|online auction]] for the breakfast burrito.
*Keep flipping through the paper, and after it flips back to the front, the paper can be [[Miscellaneous Downloads|downloaded]] in the Microsoft Word .doc format.

== Fun Facts ==
=== The English Paper ===
<blockquote style="font-family:monospace; width: 35em; text-align: center">
"A Well Thought-Out Englilsh Paper" 
by Kyle "The Yellow Dart" Smith
</blockquote>

<blockquote style="font-family:monospace; text-indent:3em">
Since maybe like the Middle Ages, there have been many 
differing opinions on hustle and bustle. This cannot be 
denied. It is my intention to sit down and play video games 
for several hours.

First, moving around quickly, and with purpose, is a 
true sign of character. Secondarily, bustle(e.g. hustle) 
yields more product for the working types. "Hustle and bustle 
are like my right and left arms," said Li'l Spicy in his famous 
"Hustle and Bustle Are Like My Right and Left Arms" speech. 
Webster's defines bustle as "excited and often noisy activity; 
a stir." A stir, indeed. Finally, sometimes gross stuff can 
be funny.

In conclusion, I, "The Yellow Dart," think I have done a 
great job illustrating the many differing opinions about hustle 
and bustle, may they both rest in peace. Also, I think Strong 
Bad should decrease The Cheat's allowance.
</blockquote>

''{Page Three features the batteries diagrams, and turning it over shows two dollar bills, two quarters, and three pennies taped to the back of the paper.}''

===Trivia===
[[Image:english paper money reduced.jpg|thumb|Original money to seal the deal]]
*Originally, the cash was scanned pictures of actual money; the final version uses cartoon drawings instead.
*The online auction page is the first time Strong Bad is called a "[[Wrestleman|wrestle man]]".
*Kyle "[[Integral Article|The]] Yellow Dart" Smith allegedly reported via an Internet forum that he actually ''did'' submit Strong Bad's English paper along with his own real one.
*This and [[website]] are the only pre-2006 Strong Bad Emails not to have been uploaded to [[YouTube]] by the [[homestarrunnerdotcom]] channel; both emails end with a link to an in-universe website, which cannot be replicated in YouTube.
*The half-eaten burrito was actually listed for sale on {{wp|eBay}}, purportedly by Homestar, though it is unknown if this was done by [[The Brothers Chaps]] or a fan. According to contemporaneous {{p|l=https://web.archive.org/web/20041024022633/http://www.movie-list.com:80/forum/archive/index.php/t-3815.html message board posts}}, the burrito shot from an initial price of $3.50 to over $1,000,000 in a matter of hours. By 9:10 pm it was past $5,000,000, and by 10:19 pm it had maxed out at $99,999,999.
**While the auction was running, Homestar updated the listing with several messages, including:
:<blockquote>Oh my god you guys are crazy!!! This isn't even one of Marzipan's famous tofu breakfast burritos. But since you guys like so much, guess what, I'll throw in the plate. BTW, watch for my upcoming auctions: One of The Cheat's sweat socks, Marzipan's bread and butter pickle recipe, and Strong Sad's autographed Moby baby-doll tee!</blockquote>

:<blockquote>Alright, alright! I'll pay the shipping. It's the least I can do.</blockquote>

:<blockquote>C'mon guys, quit going crazy on my auction. This thing isn't worth half of what it's going for. It is half-eaten, afterall. I'm going to use the money to buy Marzipan a Yello Dello. And if that's you running up the price, The Cheat, don't ask me to shave your back anymore.</blockquote>

:*Due to the large number of bogus bids, the burrito auction was eventually pulled. The cancellation notice(s) read:

:<blockquote>Sewiouslwy guys, this thing is half eaten afterall.</blockquote>

:<blockquote>The King Of Town ate the burrito. This does not look good for Homestar Runner. </blockquote>

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad taped $2.53 to the back of the paper. It is not entirely clear whether the silver coins are nickels or quarters, though the portrait looks similar to that on the one dollar bills, which also feature George Washington. The original coins photograohed were quarters.
*The printable version of the english paper was created on Sunday, February 23, 2003 10:27:00 PM and printed on Monday, February 24, 2003 4:57:00 AM. The software it was written on is registered to "Preferred Customer" of "Dell Computer Corporation".
*Between typing "speech" and "Webster's", there is a lengthy pause, during which the typing sounds are still going on.
*The a> prompt is missing from the back button.

===Inside References===
*According to the auction Easter egg, Homestar's [[Contacts|screen name]] is witchesbrew82 {{--}} referencing [[Witches' Brew]] and [[1982]]. The high bidder is cheat[[Pokémon|achu]]72, which is [[The Cheat]]'s Instant Messenge screen name from [[i she be]].
*This is another appearance of [[loose coins]].
*Strong Bad says, "Can't nobody say Strong Bad never did nothing for the peoples." This is an example of a [[multiple negative]]. Cancelling out the negatives, the phrase means "Somebody can say Strong Bad did something for the peoples."

===Fast Forward===
*The diagram of the man eating a [[battery]] is later used in [[bottom 10]], except instead of a battery, he has a [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallow]] crammed into his mouth.

== DVD Version ==
*The "Englilsh" Paper is only accessible via a hidden Strong Bad icon in the lower-right corner of the Compy 386 screen. However, Strong Bad now reads the paper aloud. Furthermore, there are some additional comments near the end of this.
**'''STRONG BAD:''' Eating one battery. Eating five batteries. Oh, that guy has got quite a gullet. ''{turns to page four}'' And what I like to call a little... inshoirance.
**Strong Bad misspells "yields" as "yeilds" in the image of the essay that he is reading in this extra (though it is correct in the online version).
*The Breakfast Burrito is accessible via a hidden Strong Bad icon in the lower-left corner of the Compy 386 screen instead of through the Englilsh Paper. As with the Englilsh Paper, Homestar Runner reads it.

=== Fun Facts ===
*Strong Bad's pronunciation of the word "insurance" is another example of [["Er" pronounced as "Oi"|an "er" sound pronounced as "oi"]] (in other words, a mock Brooklyn accent).

DorianGray: Adding a section for unfinished games

[[Image:Unfinished.png|thumb|Unfinished, see?]]
There are a few toons and games in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work that have '''never been finished''' or never been released. There are a variety of reasons these projects were abandoned; some were simply forgotten about, some were cancelled in favor of other projects, and still others were cancelled for no discernible reason.

==Toons==
*[[Homestar Runner Goes For The Gold!]] {{--}} A planned sequel to the [[original book]]. Though the plot was written out and several characters (including the initial versions of [[Strong Mad]] and [[Strong Sad]]) were designed, this book was never completed.
**For its twentieth anniversary, the unfinished story [[Homestar Runner Goes for the Gold|was revisited and adapted into an animated cartoon]].
*[[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]] {{--}} [[Homestar Runner]] hits his head and believes he is a medieval minstrel, so the other characters try to turn him back to normal. The incomplete portion of the toon was presented on [[strongbad_email.exe Disc One]], alongside an end card describing the rest of the intended plot.
*[[Sing Along]] {{--}} An interactive feature with Homestar Runner and [[Strong Bad]] singing.
*[[Needlepernt]] {{--}} A small animation of Homestar and Strong Bad rendered in needlepoint, designed for {{prs|1356284465677537280|1|Feb|2021|alt=a potentially recurring feature where the duo would offer "pearls of wisdom"}}.
*Those Darn Cousins {{--}} Homestar's cousins, [[Preshy and Rafferty]], torture him when they're alone and act like angels when others are around. A portion of this toon was shown in [[Why Come Only One Girl?]].
*[[Eggs (toon)|Eggs]] {{--}} An [[Holidays#Easter (Sunday following first full moon after March 20)|Easter]]-themed animation featuring Easter [[eggs]] resembling Homestar, Strong Bad, [[Marzipan]], and [[Pom Pom]].
*[[Soap Box Doiby]] {{--}} The characters enter a {{w|Gravity racer|soapbox racing}} [[contest|competition]]. This cartoon never progressed to the animation stage; the unfinished script was [[The Brothers Chaps' Fansite Acknowledgments#Homestar Runner Wiki Acknowledgments|shared with the Homestar Runner Wiki]].

==Games==
*[[Homestar Runner RPG]] {{--}} An RPG in development for the [[Atari 2600]] that was eventually abandoned due to being too ambitious.
*[[Butcher Bros.]] {{--}} A sequel to [[Pigs on Head]] in the same Game and Watch LCD style.
*[[Peasant's Quest Proposed Sequels]] {{--}} Several sequels to [[Peasant's Quest]], including "Peasant's Quest 2: Return of the Babym'n" and "Peasant's Quest Online?", were proposed but never created.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{stroking his chin}'' Oh. I suppose a firmware upgrade is a possibility. If it is, ''{takes out a 5.25" floppy disk}'' then take this floppy and download it.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' I refuse to accept that! There's just no way robots would secretly congregate only to discuss various types of sauce! ''{hovering in mid-air}'' You must have missed something. ''{lands on the ground}'' You gotta go back.

Quote of the Week

[[File:Quote of the Week box design.png|thumb|220px|Latest QotW box design, with default placeholder text.]]

The '''Quote of the Week''' was a recurring feature that highlighted a soundbite from the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work. Quotes were selected from recently-released toons, outtakes not included in a toon's final release, or even exclusive clips. The Quote of the Week was hosted on the site's [[Main Pages]], accessible from a {{u|qotw}} ''Q'' button.

This feature first began on January 10, 2002, under the name "Quote of the day(or so)". Early versions of the quote of the week were presented via a "[[Main Page Messages|what's new?]]" oval button. From early 2004 through late 2009, the Quote of the Week was updated with near-weekly regularity, typically on Thursdays; the feature stopped updating regularly [[Hiatuses|on October 22, 2009]]. After two more quotes in 2014, updates to this feature ceased altogether. Since [[Post-Flash Site Update|a major update to the site's backend]] on the last day of 2020, the "Q" button no longer functions on most main pages.

As of May 5, 2025, the button functions on [[Main Page 22]]; however, it is rendered incorrectly and to the right of the page.

| Quote of the Week exclusive
| Marzipan is quoting {{w|Anton Chigurh}}, the antagonist in the 2007 film ''{{w|No Country for Old Men (film)|No Country for Old Men}}''. The [[Halloween Safety]] teaser and the [[Sketchbook 2014#SK-2014-10-30|Sketchbook released the same day]] as the quote revealed that [[The Brothers Chaps]] had [[Rejected costumes|considered making Marzipan dress as Chigurh]] for [[I Killed Pom Pom]]. The specific phrasing of "Call it, friendo" is from [http://youtu.be/A0oNrgumrlE?t=22 the film's trailer] {{--}} in the movie proper, "friendo" and "call it" are from two separate lines of dialogue.

| [[The Luau]] extended take
| Coach Z mentions "Paughkeegan", which might be referring to {{w|Waukegan, Illinois|Waukegan}}, a suburb of Chicago. [[Coach Z's accent]] includes elements of the {{w|North-Central American English|Upper Midwestern dialect}}, which makes it quite plausible that he'd know a person from Waukegan (or "Paughkeegan").

== Fun Facts ==
[[Image:Quote Of Week Box Design All.PNG|thumb|The old, the new, the newer, and the loading.]]
===Trivia===
*As of November 11, 2004, quotes are transcribed on the website.
*As of November 22, 2004, selecting the download option provided the quote as an MP3 file.
**Between July 29 and November 11, 2004, the quotes were only available as .zip files containing audio.
*Only one quote is hosted on the website, old versions were removed as their weekly replacement was added.
*On [[#QW-2006-07-27|July 27, 2006]], a "loading" box (pictured to the right) was implemented, presumably due to [[Brain Sister|the audio file]] being much longer than typical weekly quotes. This loading box function was removed the following week, on August 3.
*If there is a problem finding the [[Secret Pages XML Source#Weeklies XML File|weeklies XML file]], such as if [[HR:qod.swf|the Quote of the Week's Flash file]] is downloaded and opened, placeholder text is instead displayed alongside Homestar Runner's portrait:<blockquote>"Oh Haldo! This is my funniest word style ever times that I've said! Hope all is on to it even more lately! And I wish the chicken & msg place was open on Somedays"</blockquote>
**This makes references to [[Peasant's Quest]] ("[[Haldo]]"), [[style]], [[times]], [[for kids]] ("[[all is on]]"), [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]] ("MSG"), and [[monster truck]] ("Somedays").
**The text can also be:<blockquote>"Oh Hello! This is my funniest word style ever that I said! Hope you're into it!"</blockquote>
**Neither of these placeholders has an accompanying audio clip to download.

===Remarks===
*Several quotes were used twice. Typically these used the same audio file but were transcribed slightly differently.
**Homsar calling himself "the human wedgie" {{--}} [[#QW-2005-02-17|17 Feb 2005]] & [[#QW-2005-06-02|02 Jun 2005]]

***This repeat was [[#QW-2005-10-21|replaced with a new quote the following day]].
**Bubs saying "Everybody knows me. Mine name Cornbread." {{--}} [[#QW-2005-03-25|25 Mar 2005]] & [[#QW-2006-02-16|16 Feb 2006]]
***Despite their similarities, these quotes are wholly different audio clips.
**The Homestar Runner declaring "Well, folks, you know what that means: Now I'll do a dance." {{--}} [[#QW-2005-03-31|31 Mar 2005]] & [[#QW-2006-11-30|30 Nov 2006]]

***This repeat was [[#QW-2007-10-25b|replaced with a new quote hours later]].

===Fixed Goofs===
*When using a [[Quote of the Week Character Heads|character head]] that hasn't been added yet, Homestar's head is used until the appropriate character's head is uploaded. This has happened several times.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' And if I email you! Girl, woman! ''{He holds up pieces of paper that say "Girl." and "Woman." as he says those words.}'' Oh, would you email me? Girl, woman! ''{He holds up the papers again. Then he brings up the email:}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Homestar's pants</div>
Dear Strongbad, 
Why doesn't homestar ever wear pants? It's kind of 
creepy how he walks around with no pants on all the time. 
Anyway, I think you should get him some pants, maybe some 
parachute pants would work...yeah, that would work. Or maybe 
some clown pants, I don't care, just get him some pants! 
Tootles! 
Clancy</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad skips everything after "Anyway" and before "I don't care" and, instead, says "Habbity blah, blah blebbity bloo". He also pronounces "Tootles" as "Toot-less" and "Clancy" as "Clanky".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, ''{begins typing}'' Too long, Clanky, too looong! Good thing you didn't indent, man, or this never woulda made it past my 2nd paragraph filter: ''{types 'run "Edga Jr."'}'' Edga Jr.

''{The splash screen for "Edga Jr. The Long Email Killa Filta" comes up, similar to Edgar the Virus Hunter, except it shows a picture of a pimply red-haired boy saying "Indent and Die!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, look at him. He's one o' them red-haireded rapscalli... wags. ''{He returns to the email.}'' Well, I think we can salvage this one with a little editing. Let me once again call upon the services of my trusty, somewhat dusty, electronic light-pen input high-tech expensive device! Now in HD!

''{He pulls out a correction pen bearing the words "X-PENSIVE WHITE" and shakes it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just have to shake up the... expensive electrons here. All set! So, let's see! ''{he mumbles and says}'' Expensive high-tech device... ''{as he whites out the words, producing:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There! Now let's see what we got!

''{re-reads the altered email}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dear Strongbad, Why wear pants? Creepy pants all the time get some. Maybe parachute, maybe clown care. Some ants toot! Clanky. ''{He begins typing.}'' Now ''there's'' an email worth answering! Some ants toot. Tee-hee! ''{He clears the screen, but the correction fluid remains.}'' So, why wear pants? An age old question. Was it not Adam West who once said, "E{{--}}

''{The camera pans back to show Homestar wearing very short purple pants}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Bad, check out my creepy pants!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking away, shielding eyes}'' Ew, Homestar! What're you wearing them Daisy Dukes for?!

''{Homestar's pants shine, Strong Bad does a triple take}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' 'Cuz you said, "Creepy pants all the time get some."

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get some what?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. Light globes?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{stares flatly}'' ...Light globes.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You know, like in a lamp! Light globes! ''{His pants shine again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So... ''{rubs chin}'' You put on hot pants in the hopes of getting some lightbulbs.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{correctively}'' Globes.

''{Homestar's pants shine again briefly as he says it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, since you're here, let's talk about your pants. ''{crosses legs, resting one hand on his knee.}'' Or your lack thereof... Daisy Dukes aside.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What are you talking about, Strong Bad? ''{shakes leg}'' I{{--}}I wear long pants.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... no, from what I can tell, you wear ''no'' pants ''{gestures with hand}'' and have blue soles glued to the bottoms of your feet. ''{indicates Homestar's feet}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looking shocked}'' W{{--}}Well, that's simply not true. I have long pants, I wear long pants. I'm a long pants man, long pants, long pants!

''{Homestar starts getting upset and dances around}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, calm down... I didn't mean to{{--}}

''{Homestar jumps high into the air and convulses on Strong Bad's desk.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long pants, Strong Bad! The longest pants! Everybody everybody! Longest pants!

''{He starts teleporting around the room to a different place after each word he utters. He first appears in front of Strong Bad, then leaning in behind him, then hanging upside down from the ceiling, then pixellated on the Lappy's screen as Atari Homestar, then blurred in the scene's foreground, then upside down under the desk, then back to his original position, looking exhausted and out of breath, all while chanting the following.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long long long long long long pants!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oight! Ah! That's it! We need to get you some serious clown care, man!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I was told long pants! Long pants! They said long pants! Always long pants! ''{leans toward Strong Bad, and the camera zooms in on the two}'' Long, my pants! ''{zoom in on the two again}'' Gleaming pants! ''{zoom in on the two yet again, this time with a red background}'' Glorious pants!!

''{Homestar runs away, leaving the Daisy Dukes behind. They fall and hook around Strong Bad's foot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bleh! Egh! BLEEEGGEHHEGH!

''{He shakes his foot in a panic until the Daisy Dukes fly off and land on the floor some distance away, while The Cheat appears stage left to burn them with the [[BMW Lighter]]. They almost instantly combust with a noxious, neon green flame.}''

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

''{The Cheat leaves, and Strong Bad turns back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Noice work, Clanky. You made Homestar go nuts and you've seriously creeped me out. And how am I supposed to get ''this'' crap offa here?

''{Everything starting with the "t" in "get", with the exception of the question mark, is obscured by the correction fluid. Strong Bad grabs a cloth and attempts to wipe it off the screen, to no avail. He mutters.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Stupid... made-up technology... that I made up... paint pen... ''{mumbles a bit before yelling:}'' The Cheat! Call tech support and tell 'em you broke the Lappy again!

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

== Easter Eggs ==
[[File:NotABroom.png|thumb|200px|"You're not a broom?!"]]
* Selecting "wear pants" (specifically, after Strong Bad uses his "X-pensive White" pen) will bring up some fortune cookies, similar to those in the old [[Fortune Cookies]] game. As the cursor is hovered over each one, it brings up a sentence of Strong Bad's "improved" email.
**The top left one brings up: Creepy pants all the time get some.
**The top right cookie shows: Why wear pants?
**The fortune cookie on the bottom right reads: Maybe parachute, maybe clown care.
**And the one on the bottom left says: Some ants toot!
* Clicking on the socket under the table after Strong Bad says "Clown Care" brings up a business card for the service, [[Kertified Klown Kare]]. It reads:
<blockquote>Kertified 
Klown Kare 
 
-Pie Injuries 
-Giant Foot Problems 
-Wacky Malaria 
-Grease Paint Poisoning 
 
"Rodeo and Tragic Clown Hot Dogs NOT ACCEPTED"</blockquote>
* Selecting "creeped" at the end of the email reveals a touching moment between Homestar and Marzipan.
:''{Homestar is lying in bed with light bulbs beside and on the floor beneath him.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{crying}'' Loooonnng paaaannnts!
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Awww, there there, Homestar. It's not so bad. Everybody thinks I'm a broom.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Sits up suddenly, surprised and upset}'' You're not a broom!?

== Fun Facts ==

=== Explanations ===
*[[Wikipedia:Daisy Dukes|Daisy Dukes]] are extremely short cut-off jeans, so named for the character from ''[[Wikipedia:The Dukes of Hazzard|The Dukes of Hazzard]]'' television show that wore them.
**[[Wikipedia:Hot pants|Hot pants]] is a more generic term for a pair of very short pants. Daisy Dukes are a variety of hot pants.
*[[Wikipedia:parachute pants|Parachute pants]] are large billowy pants which come in at the waist and ankles with snug elastic bands, often made of nylon. They are typically associated with breakdance culture.
*Homestar insists that he has "light globes", not [[Wikipedia:Incandescent light bulb|light bulbs]]. In Australia and South Africa, it is common for light bulbs to be called light globes.
**It is also common in theatrical productions to refer to stage lamps as globes and household lamps as bulbs, distinguishing the two.
*The neon green flame that occurs when The Cheat burns Homestar's discarded shorts would indicate that they may contain large traces of [[Wikipedia:Barium|barium]], which, among other things, is used heavily in fluorescent lighting, especially fireworks. This might be the explanation as to why Homestar's shorts have a glow to them (that, or the "light globes").
*"HD" stands for [[Wikipedia:High-definition video|high definition]], which generally refers to any video system of higher resolution than standard definition.

=== Trivia ===
* This is the first time Strong Bad has lowered his upper eyelids.
* In the Easter egg, the messages in the fortune cookies read "You are not as good as most people" before they are completely unraveled, probably because [[The Brothers Chaps]] only changed the writing on the cookie. The cookies also said "You are not as good as most people" in [[Fortune Cookies]].
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#fiendish freddys|fiendish freddys]]".
*This is the only Lappy email that takes place entirely in the computer room.

=== Remarks ===
*When Strong Bad returns to the email after having opened up Edga Jr., all the text he had typed as a reply is gone, and only the email remains.
*Even though Homestar moves his legs, his pants don't move.
*Although Strong Bad puts pressure onto the Lappy's screen when trying to rub off the marker and when applying the white out, no ripple effect occurs on the screen.
*When Strong Bad is scribbling out some of the letters in the email, his arm moves as if his entire arm came off; instead of tilting as it got farther away, it stayed in the exact same position.

=== Goofs ===
*When Strong Bad starts replying to the edited email, he never finishes typing the first line. When Strong Bad scrolls the screen, the edit cursor is still visible, and the text that was behind Strong Bad's head reads "Now there's an email worth answering! Some an█".
*After Strong Bad clears the screen and starts writing about the age old question, Homestar comes in. The text can be seen clearly the whole time Homestar is there, but when Homestar leaves and Strong Bad turns back to the Lappy, it is gone.
*The Klown Kare Easter egg (by clicking on the socket) can still be clicked in the same location on the screen when the scene moves around.
*When Homestar appears close-up to the computer, if zoomed in on, the disk label is slightly garbled like it would be in a JPEG file. This is because it actually '''is''' a JPEG being used to show both Homestar and the part of the background placed behind him, as the JPEG format does not allow for transparency.
**Additionally, the image appears to be displayed slightly above its proper location.
*Each time Strong Bad's hands are visible in front of the Lappy's screen, they do not have reflections in the screen.
*There is a separate shadow on the white line in the Lappy's email client.
*When Homestar appears on the Lappy's screen, he isn't covered by the correction fluid, but rather, he shows up on top of it.
*As Strong Bad shakes his foot, the shading on his boot changes to a previous version.
*When Homestar jumps onto the table during his freak-out, his right leg appears to be outside of his Daisy Dukes.
*After Homestar says "I don't know" to Strong Bad asking "Get some what?", the outer brim of Homestar's cap changes to a different shade of red until he moves his head.
*The YouTube description should say "by whom" instead of "by who".

=== Inside References ===
*Both Clancy and Strong Bad think that Homestar [[Homestar Runner's Pants|doesn't wear pants]], which he vehemently denies.
*Strong Bad laughs at the phrase "some [[ants]] toot".
*[[Edga Jr.]] is a reference to the email [[virus]], in which his ambiguous relation, [[Edgar]], created Strong Bad's virus protection program. Also, Edgarware was made in "mom's basement", whereas Edga Jr. was made seven years later in "mom's sewing room".
*Homestar says "Everybody everybody" in his tirade, a reference to the [[Everybody Everybody#The song|intro song]].
*The [[business card]] Easter egg makes reference to the [[Tragic Clown Dog]] from [[part-time job]].
*Marzipan's line about people thinking she's a broom (along with Homestar's response) may be a reference to [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2]] where Homestar leaves a message calling Marzipan an "old broomstick".
*The noise made by Homestar's glowing pants is used often in [[Stinkoman]] cartoons.
*Strong Bad's "light pen" is based on his "light pen" from [[haircut]]{{--}}there, it was a black [[permanent marker]].
*When the pants are incinerated, [[green smoke]] is produced.
*The Cheat incinerates the Daisy Dukes with the [[BMW Lighter]], a right he earned in the email [[privileges]].
*"I'm a long pants man, long pants, long pants" echoes the line "I'm a self-made man, I am, I am" from [[Bubs's Character Video]].
*The two lines of Strong Bad's [[Strong Bad Email Intros|email song]] [[Overlapping Voices|overlap]] each other.

=== Real-World References ===
*Strong Bad throwing cue cards away during the intro song is a reference to the [[youtube:MGxjIBEZvx0|music video]] for "{{w|Subterranean Homesick Blues}}" by [[Bob Dylan]].
*A {{w|light pen}} is an input device for cathode-ray tube monitors; the light-sensor technology allows a user to point to objects or draw on the screen. Note that a real light pen would be unlikely to work with the [[Lappy 486]] due to its use of an LCD display.
**Strong Bad writing on the Lappy with the light pen may be a reference to an old joke about computer novices attempting to correct typing mistakes using {{w|correction fluid}} on the monitor.
*{{w|Adam West}} was an actor best known for his role as [[Batman]] on the '60s TV show of the same name. The Batman costume had tights with briefs over them, so Batman does not wear pants, either.

*Edga Jr. resembles [https://scoobydoo.fandom.com/wiki/Red_Herring Red Herring] from the spin-off animated series ''[[Hanna-Barbera|A Pup Named Scooby Doo]].
*{{w|Clown Care}} is a program where trained clowns travel to hospitals to lift patients' moods by performing for them.

=== Fast Forward ===
*Strong Bad mentions [[Wikipedia:Technical support|tech support]]. He would later actually call tech support (which is Homestar Runner) in the email [[isp]].
*"Noice" is used again in [[being mean]].
*In [[email thunder]], Homestar claims that he "accidentally took some of [[Strong Sad's pills]]" before the events of this email, resulting in his breakdown.

==YouTube Version==
*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Homestar shows up wearing shorts and pants at the same time. At least he was told long pants. Long pants, long pants. By who we don't know."
*The Easter egg with Homestar and Marzipan plays automatically at the end.

== DVD Version ==
*For some reason, the Kertified Klown Kare business card Easter egg has been disabled.

*The DVD version features ''two'' hidden commentaries. To access them, switch the DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MIKE:''' ''{singing}'' Long pants! Long paaants!

'''MATT:''' Wow.

'''MIKE:''' That's my email song.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, we should have made email songs for each one of the commentaries.

'''MIKE:''' Well, too bad. So, Ryan, what is this email about? Give us the skinny.

'''RYAN:''' Somebody has pants, I think.{{--}}

''{laughter}''

'''RYAN:''' {{--}}And someone else wants them.

'''MIKE:''' ''{still laughing}'' Okay. I like it.

'''RYAN:''' I watched it.

'''MIKE:''' Coveting thy neighbor's pants.

'''MATT:''' Mm hmm. Um, so this is also, I would like to have a long email filta killa. Uh, killa filta, rather. Um...

'''MIKE:''' It's true. That's a way that you can guarantee your Strong Bad email not being read, if it's over{{--}}

'''MATT:''' If there's an indention...

'''MIKE:''' {{--}}over three or four lines, I just delete 'em.

'''MATT:''' You make that second paragraph, and good, good night, Irene.

''{laughter}''

'''RYAN:''' So where'd you guys find this pen?

'''MATT:''' It's right here, actually, Ryan. ''{He shakes the pen.}''

'''RYAN:''' Aah! Ohh!

'''MIKE:''' Look at that!

'''MATT:''' It's uh, it's a white paint pen from Uni. ''{reading the pen}'' It marks on most surfaces. Medium line, opaque oil-based paint marker.

'''MIKE:''' It's the PX-20 variety.

'''MATT:''' So, uh, it's kinda funny, the story; Mike wrote this email, or we picked this email to do something with, and then Mike in parentheses underneath the email said, "Maybe could be edited," as a note to me saying hey, maybe we could cut this email a little shorter. I thought this was actually something that the person had actually written Strong Bad, so I decided to write the email where Strong Bad edits the email. And then, we ended up keeping it, even though that wasn't someone's, what the guy said. It was what Mike put.

'''MIKE:''' Why do his pants shine?

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' They're just, there's so much glory and majesty about his pants.

'''MIKE:''' But are his pants glowing or is what's underneath the pants glowing?

'''MATT:''' ''{continuing to laugh}'' It's, uh, he's, it's just glowing.

'''MIKE:''' Behind his... it's disturbing, to say the least.

'''MATT:''' ''{still laughing}'' So Homestar's wearing Daisy Dukes; there's the power that comes with that.

'''MIKE:''' There's just certain words, that he says, that make them shine.

'''MATT:''' I like how Strong Bad has folded his legs there. I remember thinking that would be good.

''{laughter}''

'''MATT:''' "Oh, wow. Let's talk about your pants." Um, that's Feindish Freddy's Big-Top of Terror? What was it called?

'''MIKE:''' Fun? Something.

'''MATT:''' Big-Top of Fun. Circus-themed computer game.

'''RYAN:''' I always liked when Homestar hopped up on the desk like that.

'''MATT:''' Yeah? That's a new, 'cause I had to make some new legs for him there.

'''RYAN:''' I love too the pockets hanging out of the shorts, implying that he cut them that short.

''{laughter}''

'''MATT:''' Britney Spears style.

''{They watch The Cheat burn the pants.}''

'''MATT:''' Green flames... Oh yeah, I remember the week after this we tried to make the paint pen still be on the screen but just barely visible{{--}}

'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah.

'''MATT:''' {{--}}but it made it hard to read everything else. So we decided to ditch it, and...

'''MIKE:''' What Matt just said is correct.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Ryan?

('''Commentary by:''' [[Homestar Runner]], [[Marzipan]], [[Shark-Tooth Bubs]])

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hello, everybody. My name is Homestar Runner. I'm joined here in the booth by Marzipan{{--}}

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hi, guys.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' {{--}}and Shark-Tooth Bubs.

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' ''{half singing}'' And I can say no more.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ooh, Shark-Tooth!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What does that mean, Bubs?

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' That's my regular greeting... car{{--}} It's a greeting card I read once.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's a great greeting card!

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' Thanks.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So this one deals mostly with me. It's all about my pants.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, I always have liked your pants.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, Marzipan. See? Marzipan knows I wear long pants.

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' ''{overlapping}'' You don't wear pants. No pants.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Shark-Tooth Bubs, what do you know about it? You've got a horn on your head.

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' ''{half singing}'' I am a purple-pant man.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I think it's starting to smell in here again.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I believe it. Shark-Tooth Bubs, you stink.

''{They watch the email for a moment.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, that just looks like a paint pen, Marzipan. Not an expensive high-tech device.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, it ''is'' a paint pen.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I know, but Strong Bad claims it's some kind of newfangle.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh.

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' I got fangle jangle.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, do you?

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Can we see it later on?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I{{--}}

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' I got it on my face all the time.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I have a song about the fangle jangle.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Will you sing it for us?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yes. ''{singing}'' The fang{{--}}the fangle jangle, he's a nice guy. The fangle jangle, he gets real high.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey! You can't say that. That's interrupted.

'''MARZIPAN:''' High on life!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, okay. That's okay. ''{regarding the email}'' Look! Look, I look like, I look like Daisy Duke.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I thought Daisy Duke's pants were, um, not that color.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, they probably weren't, but I dyed them purple.

'''MARZIPAN:''' It looks more like a skirt.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What?!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Actually, it looks a lot like one of ''my'' skirts.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I just{{--}}Look, Marzipan. I don't wear your skirts anymore.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I don't think that's true.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' See? Could I do a little... jingle jangle?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing}'' Oh, jingle jangle, he is my friend. Jingle jangle, he is my friend. Jingle jingle, jangle jangle, jingle jingle, jangle jangle. Everyone should have a jingle jangle.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What do you say to that, Shark-Tooth Bubs?

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' ''{half singing}'' I got my jingle jangle man, movie man, on the chicken stand.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I have a chicken.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Do you? Where is it? ''{regarding the email}'' I freaked out! I just freaked out! You guys, I totally freaked out.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, my chicken is out in the backyard, usually, but today he is in the laundry room.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I feel like on this DVD, we don't, we don't comment on the emails much during the commentaries.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Have you ever thought about getting a chicken?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' See? My point exactly.

'''MARZIPAN:''' A lot of people keep chickens as pets.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay.

Sbemails' 50 Greatest Hits DVD

2026-01-04T04:45:53Z

DorianGray: /* Transcript */ Don't link in running dialogue

{{asbemaildiscnav}}
[[Image:50sbemailsnew.png|thumb|Watch as it cuts right through caked-on [[tape-leg]]!]]

'''''Sbemails' 50 Greatest Hits'' DVD''' is a [[DVD]] containing 50 fan-favorite [[Strong Bad Email]]s as well as five additional "bonus" emails. Unlike how the [[strongbad_email.exe]] DVDs took place in [[Strong Bad]]'s computer room, this DVD is styled like an {{w|infomercial}}, like as if "Sbemails' 50 Greatest Hits" was an "{{w|as seen on TV}}" cleaning product.

This DVD was released on April 6, 2009 and cost $12. Special limited-time promotions in 2009 discounted the DVD, [[Store Front Page News 2009#April 6, 2009|offering it for free with the purchase of]] a [[Store T-shirts#tshirt_5dor|5-dor shirt]] or [[Store Front Page News 2009#August 27, 2009|reducing the price to $10.44]]. In addition to the main [[Yahoo Store]], this DVD was sold in the [[Telltale Games]] online store alongside other [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] merchandise to promote [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]].

The DVD is no longer available for purchase. Though both [[strongbad_email.exe]] and [[Everything Else]] were reprinted in the 2020s, ''50 Greatest Hits'' has not been rereleased after selling out in the early '10s.

==FBI Warning==

The FBI Warning for Sbemails' 50 Greatest Hits.

''{Strong Bad pops up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Here's my rousing impression of you people whose favorite SBEmail didn't make it on this DVD: ''{clears throat}'' Wah wah wah wah snot sniff wah.

''{The audience is roused.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{bows to the audience}'' A-thank you! A-thank you! ''{pops down offscreen}''

Punkin Stencils

DorianGray: /* Easter Eggs */ If it's not audible, then where did the dialogue come from?

{{watchtoon|ween-stencils}}
[[Image:Punkin2009.png|thumb|right|220px|Pick a punkin, any punkin]]

The '''Punkin Stencils''' are [[Printables|printable stencils]] to overlay on [[pumpkins]], allowing fans to trace and carve out [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner-themed]] designs into a jack-o'-lantern.

New stencils were released annually from 2003-2009. Starting as a simple stencil selection for [[Halloween]] 2003, it returned in a pumpkin patch design for 2004 with almost twice as many pumpkins. In 2005, it was updated with the front row of pumpkins and the light switch Easter egg. In 2007, the current layout featuring a conveyor belt debuted.

Due to their seasonal nature, the Punkin Stencils are not a permanent fixture on the site and are often [[Secret Pages|not linked to from anywhere]] on [[homestarrunner.com]]. The latest version of the stencils are typically only linked during the Halloween season {{--}} from a [[Main Page message]], [[@StrongBadActual]] post, or [[Index Page Messages#Old Crap Corner|Index Page message]].

'''Page Title:''' Make-a Your Own-a Pumpakin!

The initial set of stencils were simply displayed as printable outlines on a white screen, without any pumpkin mockups. This menu is still on the site, [[Secret Pages|but not linked to from any other page]].

'''Updated:''' Monday, October 17, 2005; Friday, October 20, 2006

'''Page Title: ''' Make-a Your Own-a Pumpakin!

Left to right in each row:

*'''Back row:''' [[Sherlock]], [[The King of Town]], [[Eh! Steve!]], [[Bubs]], [[Marshie]], [[The Cheat]]

*'''Sixth row:''' [[Homestar Runner]] running, [[Pom Pom]], [[The Poopsmith]], [[Marzipan]], [[Coach Z]]

*'''Fifth row:''' [[Strong Bad]]'s face, [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]], [[Strong Bad]]'s silhouette

*'''Fourth row:''' [[Homestar Runner]]'s face, [[Strong Mad]], [[Trogdor]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Homsar]]'s silhouette

*'''Third row:''' [[Homsar]]'s face, [[Coach Z]]'s Z, [[Stinkoman]], [[The Goblin]]

*'''Second row (added 2005):''' [[:Image:logo.png|Homestar Runner logo]], [[Li'l Brudder]], [[Rather Dashing]], [[Sterrance]]

*'''Front row (added 2006):''' [[Gary Palaroncini]] with guitar, [[Bear holding a Shark]], [[The Municipality]]'s logo, the [[duck]] from Homestar's [[Duckie Shirt]]

=== Easter Eggs ===
*If you wait 20 seconds after the screen is done loading (without clicking any of the pumpkins), the [[Bad Graphics Ghost]] will appear.
**If you click on one of the pumpkins, the timer stops {{-}} the ghost will appear after 20 seconds total with no stencil visible.
**This happened in the 2009 edition after [[Doomy Tales of the Macabre]] was released. It was doable by clicking the demonic Homestar.
*In the 2005 and 2006 versions, pressing L causes the lights to turn off. Pressing L again causes the lights to flicker and come back on.

=== Fun Facts ===
====Goofs====
*The lights-out masks (see below) for the Poopsmith, Stinkoman, and most notably Sherlock are not quite right; they don't take the pumpkins in front of them into account.

====Glitches====
*If you roll your cursor over the pumpkins while the lights are out, the pumpkins will still expand, but the outline of the originals (before you roll over them) will be left visible. This is because the darkness is just a nearly opaque black mask over the original scene.

==Conveyor Belt==

'''Old Page Title (2007-2008):''' Make-a Your Own-a Pumpakin!

The left and right arrows control the motion of the belt to scroll through the stencils; the longer an arrow is held, the faster the belt will move. When a stencil is selected, [[The Cheat]] drops down and [[The Cheat Gnawing|gnaws]] out the pattern. The pumpkin will then start to glow as the downloadable stencil appears.

When the page first loads, the newest stencils are displayed first. The stencils in order, from left to right:

* Once all the pumpkins have been lit, clicking a lit pumpkin will make the Bad Graphics Ghost appear and fill the pumpkin back in again.
*In the 2009 update, clicking on the stencils listed below will cause Homestar to give his opinion on your selection.
:*The Umpire:
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Really? The Umpire? That's who you want to carve on your pumpkin? I'm pretty sure they included that one as a joke. Nobody likes that umpire! I don't even believe that he exists. Him ''or'' Strong Sad.

::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, I don't know if you want to put that thing on your porch. Seems like that's sending the wrong message to parents in the neighborhood.
:*Nebulon:
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, I met that guy one time when I was on the moon! Wait, I was on the moon? And at the beach? And in the Swiss Alps? ''{sound begins to fade out, until no longer audible}'' And in a bowling alley? And at a Waffle House? And falling to my death?
:*Pistols for Pandas:
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, times. You are going to have such fun carving that Strong Bad pumpkin! Its little ears, those pistol-packin' eyes, and oh, that button nose!
:*Old Timey Strong Bad:
::'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If I was you, and I had carved a punkin like that, I'd sneak-toe up to your house while you was sleepin', and shove an entire flaming bag of cow manure ''{pronounced "man-ware"}'' inside of there.
:*Sterrance:
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, so even the old show-up-onceler gets a stencil of his own. Does anybody even know that guy's name? Well, here, look, I can make some junk up off the top of my head too! ''{crumpling paper is heard}'' Oh, look it's Paper Crumple Man! Oh hi, Paper Crumple Man! ''{in a different voice}'' Hey Homestar, you're Paper Crumple Man! ''{normal voice}'' Wait, no, but, you're Paper Crumple Man. ''{back to different}'' This is an existential experience. ''{normal voice}'' I don't like you, Paper Crumple Man. You don't get a pumpkin stencil.
:*Li'l Brudder:
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I know what you're expecting. Blah, blah, blah, blah, Brudder. Well I'm over it! ''{transitioning to teary tone}'' You think a simple carving of that pathetic little three-legged two-legger, with one leg, could make...mm...mmm...m...bl–... ''{quickly, high pitched}'' Blah blah blah Brudder!
:*The Goblin:
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Once, I carved my pumpkin like a green gobliiiin! And then I left it on the front porch until Easter tiiime! And so it really turned greeen! And then the city came and shut me doowwn! And fined me twiiice! ''{singing}'' And super niiiice! ''{coughs, stops singing}'' You should probably carve that goblin. It's a good one.
:*Stinkoman:
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think it's about ding-dang time I got my proper juice for making up the name Stinkoman! Nobody ever remembers that! Man, if I wasn't saying awesome stupid stuff all the time, like nobody might not like have a name. Like, Coach Z, Bubs, and Marzipan, might like be named Mrs. Gray, Chauncey, and Bellsman. Ooh! Suggestion tiiime!
:*Homsar (full body with mouth open):
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, while we're looking at this one, let's just go over this real slow, everybody. His name is ''{dragged out}'' Hooooom...saaar. My name is ''{dragged out even more}'' Hooooo-o-o-omestar. Hom, sssar, Home, star. ''{faster, progressively more so}'' Homsar, Homestar, Homsar, Homestar, Homsar, Homestar, ''{unintelligible}''. Okay, maybe I see where the... confusion's comin' in.
:*Homestar:
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I remember that stencil. I remember posing for it in July. You can see that in my eyes, there. There's July in 'em. Oh, no, wait, Gel-eye. I got jelly in my eyes that day. Sorry. That{{--}} that's the way it went. You should put some jelly inside this pumpkin.
:*The Jolly Dumple:
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, that's that giant square blind colonist costume I dress up in some times for Strong Bad. I think his name's Tongue-o. Tongue-o Drippo, the square blind colonist man. Thumbs up!
:*Marzipan:
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Just do it! Just do it, you know you want to! Make her butt look real big when you carve this pumpkin! ''{seductively}'' And then slip over to ''my'' pumpkin and make ''my'' pumpkin's butt look big.
:*Marshie:
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh jeez, man, comma, oh jeez, man. One year, ''{fearful}'' I carved that Marshie pumpkin, and it started talking to me! It told me ''{not fearful}'' how to win big in business. And so I did. I won real big in business. I'm gonna carve that pumpkin again.
:*Sherlock:
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, Eh! Steve!, I understand. He's a classic. You can carve him on your pumpkin until the cows come home. But that thing? A bump in a shape of a hoop and a hey? How you gonna explain that to the kids that come to your door looking for treats? "Hey kids, Happy Halloween! And here is my pumpkin! Carved in the shape of a marshmallow hoo-hooshmalla-heyballa-hoo."
* In the 2009 update, when lighting one of the six Strong Bad-themed pumpkins (Strong Bad's body, Strong Bad's mask, Senor Cardgage, Stinkoman, Sterrance, and Old-Timey Strong Bad), a segment of the pumpkin outline in the top left will fill in. Once the sixth is filled in, a new "Devil Homestar" pumpkin will appear there with a [[Legend of Zelda]] sound effect.

===Fun Facts===
====Trivia====
*The [[FeedBurner Page#Ween New Pumpkin Stencils!|2009 RSS description]] of this feature is:
<blockquote>'''Homestar says''' - Hey look! There's new pumpakin stencils for 2009! But, OH, what's this? Why is there some type pumpakin meter in my upper left hand screens? And why come do I sometimes get a verbal treat when I click on a pumpakin? Well, it's all a part of what I've just decided to start calling, 'Some Minor Changes to the Pumpkin Stencils Thing 2009.' Pretty catchy, huh? Rolls right off that tongue-o.</blockquote>
*In order for the conveyor belt to move smoothly, this Flash file uses a [[Higher Frames Per Second|higher frame rate]] than normal.
*The page was linked to in a [[main page message]] on October 5, 2017, making 2017 the first year to link to the stencils without any updates. This is alluded to in the main page message, which reads "old punkin stencils".
**This was also the case in 2019, and by extension 2020, since the message was left up all year.
**On October 16, 2021, it was featured on the [[Index Page Messages#Old Crap Corner|Old Crap Corner]].

====Remarks====
*The [[Pistols for Pandas (organization)|Pistols for Pandas]] pumpkin did not appear when the conveyor belt was first introduced. It was added later.
*Despite the fact that the pumpkins appear to not have removable tops, they still glow after The Cheat carves them.

====Goofs====
*The rollers in between the conveyor belt turn the wrong way relative to the belt's movement.
*The Strong Mad stencil is backwards relative to the pumpkin displayed on the conveyor belt.

====Glitches====
*If the Devil Homestar pumpkin is clicked while The Cheat is gnawing on another pumpkin, the Devil Homestar Pumpkin stencil appears, but The Cheat continues gnawing. When he finishes, the Devil Homestar Pumpkin stencil disappears for a split second and appears again, and the pumpkin The Cheat gnawed does not become carved or lit.
*After lighting all the pumpkins, clicking the 'Devil Homestar' pumpkin causes the bad graphics ghost to appear, but does not fill the pumpkin.

====Inside References====
*Homestar mistaking the Pistols For Pandas' Panda for Strong Bad is an example of [[Identity Confusion]].
*Several of Homestar's remarks after selecting each pumpkin make references to other pages on the website.
**Nebulon:
***The places and experiences Homestar lists refer to (in the order he mentions them) [[Main Page 1]] ("on [[the moon]]"), [[Main Page 3]] ("at the beach"), [[Main Page 2]] ("in the Swiss Alps"), [[Main Page 4]] ("in a bowling alley"), [[Main Page 5]] ("at a [[Waffle House]]"), and [[Main Page 8]] ("falling to [his] death"). His seeming surprise at all of these realizations alludes to the dubious canonicity of the [[Main Pages]].
**Li'l Brudder:
***Homestar imitating himself crying (and then actually crying) refer to [[crying]] and [[The Li'l Brudder Show]].
**Marshie:
***Homestar says [[comma]] aloud, on top of pausing for it.
**The Goblin
***Homestar's manner of speaking refers to the story he tells about the Goblin in [[Homestarloween Party]].
**Stinkoman
***Homestar's complaint about not getting credit for Stinkoman's name refers to [[island]], in which he calls Strong Bad this name.
***Homestar says that Bubs might be named [[Chauncey]] if he wasn't saying awesome stupid stuff [[all the time]].
**Sterrance
***Homestar's line, "You don't get a pumpkin stencil," is similar to a line in the older Halloween toon, [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], which also features carved pumpkins.
***Homestar calls Sterrance a "show-up-onceler", even though he had appeared several times on the website. In addition to his debut in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[animal]], Sterrance has shown up in a fake thumbnail in [[HomestarRunner.com: PAY PLUS!]], in [[alternate universe]], and in an Easter egg for [[email thunder]].

====Real-World References====
*The phrase "Show-up-onceler" might be a reference to the Once-ler, the main antagonist of ''{{w|The Lorax}}'' by [[Dr. Seuss]].

Jen C. asks Strong Bad why he is so mean to the guy with the big white face and gray body.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|Strong Sad}}, {{Film|The Poopsmith}}

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[The Field]], [[King of Town's Castle]]

'''Computer:''' [[Compy 386]]

'''Date:''' Monday, April 21, 2003

'''Running Time:''' 2:51

'''Page Title:''' Compy 086!!

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Two}}

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hoo! Cha! Cheritiza! Hooritajuzu-duh-email!

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
Why are you so mean to the guy with 
the big white face and gray body? 
 
Jen C from Millbrae , CA</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad sings "Dear Strong Bad" in a slightly high-pitched voice}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Big, white face and gray body?!? Who is she talking about? Hang on a second.

''{types run "M4RZ1P4N"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Is she talking about Marzipan?

''{Marzipan's picture shows up on his computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, her head is... more like a baseball bat.

''{types run "bu-hubs"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Maybe Bubs? No. Bubs is definitely of the blue-headed persuasion.

''{types run "undabite"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar's got the white head, but... his body's just kinda that red skirt. ''{laughs a little as he speaks}''

''{types run "no-neck"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad doesn't really have a head ''or'' a body.

''{types run "dacheese"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat's physiology just plain baffles me.

''{types run "mr.smith"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um, the Poopsmith? Or the Poopsmith! But why would she think he has a gray body? Maybe her monitor isn't calibrated right. Or maybe she's like... on one of those old black and white monitors.

''{types run "[[b/w]]"; it converts his monitor to an old Macintosh layout}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's it! ''{tabs out of the Macintosh layout, starts typing}'' Yeah, maybe I am a little hard on that guy. I should do something nice for him.

''{Strong Bad gets up, Strong Sad walks past}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Just on my way to do some stuff... Oh! What's this say? ''{reads the email, mumbling}'' Finally! My comeuppance has arrived! I should go wait somewhere inconspicuous and act none the wiser.

''{Cut to a screen of the Macintosh setup with the caption "A little while later..." with the wristwatch cursor on the screen. Then cut to The Field, where Strong Sad is standing.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, nothing, nothing...

''{Strong Bad starts walking past Strong Sad with a cake behind his back}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, hey, Strong Bad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, wiggidy-wiener.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did you have something you wanted to tell me?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummm... you're the wiggidy-wiener?

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, not that. What are you holding behind your back?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummm... a single deuce? Dooj? ''{flips him the single deuce}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, your other back!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhhh... cake for the Poopsmith? Dooj? ''{throws the cake in Strong Sad's face}'' Aww, look what you made me do! Now I gotta make The Cheat make me another cake. ''{walks off}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I wish I could say this was the first time that this has happened to me. ''Today.''

''{Back to the Mac screen, now reading "Another while later..." Cut to the Poopsmith and his pile of [[whatsit]]. Strong Bad walks up to him with another cake.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, doodoo man! I just wanted to apologize for throwing that first cake at Strong Sad. I put some beans on it. You know. In case maybe you wanted beans on it. ''{The Poopsmith shrugs}'' I hope there's no hard feelings.

''{The Poopsmith takes the cake}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Anyways, it really ''{covers his "nose"}'' stinks over here, so, uhh... ''{gestures backwards with his thumb}'' I'm—I'm gonna go. Enjoy the cake.

''{Strong Bad walks off. The Poopsmith flinches when [[The Paper]] comes down. The Poopsmith pokes it with his shovel. The end is on a loop, so he does this about every 10 seconds}''

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:50cake.PNG|thumb|"Enjoy the cake."]]
*Click on the image of [[The Cheat]] to check out [[Physiology of The Cheat|his physiology]].
*At the end click on the bit of whatsit on The Poopsmith's shovel to [[Miscellaneous Downloads|download]] the Mac desktops as wallpaper.
*Also at the end, click on the cake to see what it looks like. Keep clicking on it to add toppings to it. The toppings are added in this order: fortune cookies, Chinese food (which looks like it might be [[General Tso's Chicken]]), [[grapes]], [[Wikipedia:Golden Grahams|Golden Grahams]] [[Breakfast Cereal|cereal]], ice cubes, lemon slices, and finally, a [[Swiss Cake Roll]] and the "50" candle from [[50 emails]].
**The cake Easter egg will not work on some computers, probably because the cake is stored in a separate Flash file.
**The cake reads: ''Sorry I threw that 1st cake at Strong Sad.'' There is a ''you'' that points at a caricature of the Poopsmith. There is a ''me'' that points to a caricature of Strong Bad.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The first cake read, "Hey!! Poopsmith! Here's a cake!" However, the second cake (when zoomed in, not seen in the closeup) reads, "Sorry for screwing up the jumble caper." ''(also see Inside References)''
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#world games|world games]]".
*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "After some soul-searching and looking at low-res portraits of everyone, Strong Bad realizes he needs to apologize to the Poopsmith."
*This email marks the first time "[[dooj]]" is spoken.

===Remarks===
*It's strange that Strong Bad says he's been hard on The Poopsmith, since in [[your friends]], he says he didn't harm The Poopsmith because, on account of The Poopsmith's profession, "his tolerance for pain's gotta be through the roof."
*In the part where Strong Bad says, "Big, white face and gray body?!? Who is she talking about? Hang on a second...," he's actually typing it, meaning he's sending a reply. Unless he was thinking out loud, he should have said "you", not "she".
*Even though Strong Bad has [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Strong Bad's Nose|no visible nose]], he covers the area where his nose would be if he had one when he says "It really stinks over here..."
*Strong Bad's theory that Jen C.'s monitor displays images in black and white can be applied to make [[Homestar Runner]] a viable person to apologize to as well as the Poopsmith and Strong Sad, and, if he were to have continued, [[Homsar]], [[Coach Z]], [[the King of Town]], [[The Hornblower]], and many others.

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad's reflection is covered by the pictures.
*Strong Sad's reflection isn't affected by contrast change.
*The bottom of Strong Sad's reflection is cut off early at the Compy.
*If the contrast is changed before the Mac desktop comes up, then the Mac desktop appears blue instead of grey.
*When Strong Bad looks away from the castle before telling the Poopsmith to enjoy the cake, his right eye remains bigger than his left.

===Inside References===
*"Sorry for screwing up the jumble caper" ''(see [[#Trivia|Trivia]])'' is The Cheat's continued apology for ruining the [[caper]].
*When Strong Sad asks what Strong Bad is holding behind his back, he says the Single Deuce, which is [[Pom Pom]]'s gesture from "[[the bird]]".
*The Cheat's photo shows him smoking a pipe, as per his [[Smoking#The Cheat's smoking|nicotine habit]] seen in [[The Cheat's Smoking Challenge]] and [[Where's The Cheat?]]. His addiction is later revisited in [[montage]].
*When Strong Bad types out Marzipan's name ("M4RZ1P4N"), it is written in a form of [[Internet Slang|leet]].
*The Poopsmith's second cake is another example of a [[concoction]].
*In the Easter egg, the final addition to the cake includes the candle shaped as a 50, which was previously used on the cake in [[50 emails]].
**The whole cake at the end, and all its toppings, is a [[live action food]].

===Real-World References===
*The email's page title says "Compy 086" instead of "Compy 386", and there's an icon on the black and white [[Wikipedia:Apple Macintosh|Mac]] desktop that says "Compy 086". This is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Intel 8086|Intel 8086]], the first 16-bit processor introduced by [[Wikipedia:Intel|Intel]]. Macs of that vintage ran on [[Wikipedia:Motorola 68000|Motorola 68000]] processors, not Intel processors. It may be inferred that Strong Bad was using either a screen simulator or fast-loading OS emulator because the OS is at the desktop immediately after Strong Bad's keystroke and is not shown booting.
**One explanation of the "Compy 086" designation is that with the introduction of the 68020 processor, Motorola's processors were sometimes referred to by dropping the "68" and abbreviating their names to their last three digits - Macs were said to run on "020", "030" and "040" processors. It is reasoned that that is where the "0" in "086" may have come from in this email.
**However, it should be noted that Apple officially pronounced the processor lines by their full generation names and by spelling out all the numbers in the names individually, (i.e. "six-eight-oh-two-oh, six-eight-oh-three-oh, six-eight-oh-four-oh"). Many Mac users followed that or a similar full pronunciation of the processor generation names (the other popular variant being "six-eighty-twenty, six-eighty-thirty, six-eighty-forty"), although for convenience the triple digit abbreviation was sometimes used in third-party product literature. In other words, the aforementioned triple digit abbreviation was not officially used by Apple to refer to the processors, nor was it necessarily used by many users.
*The Mac desktop shown is most likely of a version of System 6 with Multi-Finder enabled, hence the application menu on the top right. It may be a release of System 5 instead, but that is unlikely since System 5 was replaced relatively quickly by System 6. However, it is clearly not a version of System 7 since, although it looked similar to its predecessors in B&W mode, the menubar lacks the Balloon Help icon found in System 7.
*The Mac desktop has a floppy disk icon that reads "[[Wikipedia:The Manhole|The Manhole]]", one of the first computer games by [[Wikipedia:Cyan Worlds|Cyan]], the company that would go on to make [[Wikipedia:Myst|Myst]].
*Visible on the Mac's menu bar are a closed pair of eyes from the old Mac shareware program MyEyes. These eyes would open to follow the cursor around and blink periodically.
*The Apple desktop has [[Wikipedia:Karateka (video game)|Karateka]] on it, a [[Wikipedia:Karate|karate]] combat game developed by [[Wikipedia:Jordan Mechner|Jordan Mechner]] in 1984. Karateka was popular in the 1980s, so it can be inferred that this Macintosh environment is very old.

===Fast Forward===
*Strong Bad will later have a similar chant in the email [[funny]].
*World Games, the game that appears in the [[floppy disk container]], will later be featured in [[Disk 4 of 12 - World Games]].
*The Manhole would serve as the source for [[Pom Pom]]'s [[Halloween Hide & Seek Costumes|costume]] in [[Halloween Hide & Seek]].

== DVD Version ==
*All of the Easter eggs are still viewable using either the angle button on the DVD remote or pressing down to find the bad graphics Strong Bad at the end of the email.

20X6

DorianGray: Reverted edits by 76.35.248.223 (Talk) to last revision by DorianGray

[[Image:20X6.png|thumb|''Stinko Man K: 20X6'']]

'''20X6''' (pronounced "twenty-exty-six") is a series of cartoons that reinterpret the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work and its [[characters]] in a spoof of {{w|Manga iconography|stereotypical}} [[anime]]. The X in "20X6" is meant to indicate an unspecified year yet to come, allowing the setting to still be "in the future" even as real-world time has advanced past 2006 and 2016.

== Setting ==
20X6-era toons often take place on [[Planet K]], an earth-like planet illustrated in a slick, simplified visual style. The game [[Stinkoman 20X6]] features many and varied locales such as [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 4|volcanoes]], [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 7|glaciers]], and the planet's [[moon]].

The [[Strong Bad Email]] [[japanese cartoon]] indicates that the world of 20X6 exists in the fictional television series ''Stinko Man K 20X6''. Alternatively, the email [[time capsule]] depicts 20X6 as taking place in the future of the regular [[Homestar Runner universe]], with Planet K as a futuristic [[Free Country, USA]]. [[Strong Bad]] buries a time capsule to be revealed "in at least '''X0''' years," which is eventually uncovered by Stinkoman.

== Characters ==
:''See also [[Characters#20X6|20X6 Characters]] and [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies and Items|Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies]].''
[[File:aug10.jpeg|thumb|"I could be mistaken but are you asking for a CHALLENGE??!"]]
20X6 stars anime versions of the standard "present era" characters, often dramatically reinterpreted or with very distinct personalities from their original incarnations. Additional characters are original to the 20X6 world, without a direct counterpart.

*[[Stinkoman]] ([[Strong Bad]]) {{--}} A blue-haired fighter obsessed with training and seeking out worthy opponents to challenge.
** Stinkoman primarily parodies characters from ''{{w|Akira (1988 film)|Akira}}'' and ''{{w|Dragon Ball Z}}'', with elements of his visual design similar to that of [[Mega Man]].
** His minor redesign in the [[Stinkoman 20X6 Intro Cinematic]] is comparable to {{w|Susumu Kodai|Derek Wildstar}} from ''{{w|Star Blazers}}'', particularly his hairstyle.
*[[1-Up]] ([[Homestar Runner]]) {{--}} A cheery kid who idolizes Stinkoman and wants "to be the guy" just like him.
*[[Pan Pan]] ([[Pom Pom]]) {{--}} A {{w|giant panda}} with an insatiable appetite.
** Pan Pan can be compared to animal characters like Genma the panda from ''{{w|Ranma ½}}'' or Pen Pen the penguin from ''{{w|Neon Genesis Evangelion}}''.
*[[Marzi-Mei]] ([[Marzipan]]) {{--}} A {{w|magical girl}} with musical powers activated by playing [[Carol|her shamisen]].
** An earlier iteration of Marzi-Mei resembled {{w|Sailor Moon (character)|Sailor Moon}}.
*[[Z Sabre]] ([[Coach Z]]) {{--}} A powerful villain who seeks to defeat Stinkoman and claim the title of "the guy".
** Z Sabre's design is an amalgamation of {{w|Zero (Mega Man)|Zero}} and {{w|Sigma (Mega Man X)|Sigma}} from ''{{wp|Mega Man X}}'', with elements of {{wp|M. Bison}} from the ''[[Street Fighter]]'' series.
*[[Cheatball]] ([[The Cheat]])
** An animalistic character only capable of speaking its own name, Cheatball is reminiscent of many [[Pokémon]].
** [[The Brothers Chaps]] originally conceived of the 20X6 version of The Cheat as a spaceship.
*[[Trogador]] ([[Trogdor]])
**Trogador is an {{w|Chinese dragon|Asian dragon}}, with his beefy arm resembling one belonging to {{w|Goku}} from ''Dragon Ball''.
*[[Sticklyman]] 
** Sticklyman fits in the trend of [[Flash]]-animated stick figures engaging in highly stylized, well-animated combat, popularized by Chinese series ''{{w|Xiao Xiao}}''.
*[[Nebulon]] (Nebulon)
**The alien appears much stronger and larger in his 20X6 incarnation.

== Stylistic Influences ==
The stylistic practice of [[TVTropes:Main/YearX|using "X" in place of a numeral to obscure a year set in the future]] has been used in multiple notable Japanese video games. The closest equivalent is {{w|Metroid (video game)|the original}} ''[[Metroid]]'' game, set in {{p|l=https://metroid.fandom.com/wiki/Year_20X5 the year 20X5}}; the ''[[Mega Man]]'' series regularly uses 200X and 20XX (with spinoff series ''Mega Man X'' taking place in 21XX).

The anime inspiration on 20X6 is usually very broad, typically leaning on {{w|Manga iconography|common anime iconography}} and visuals rather than direct parodies of specific anime series. Anime with outsize pop-culture prominence in America, such as ''[[Akira]]'', ''{{w|Sailor Moon}}'', and ''{{w|Dragon Ball}}'', have noticeable influence on 20X6. Additional character-specific design influences are [[#Characters|noted in the section above]].

20X6 characters often speak in an exaggerated and overly dramatic tone, occasionally with [[deliberately poor English]]. This is evocative of certain {{w|Dubbing|English dubs}} of Japanese animation, particularly the 1960s dub of ''{{w|Speed Racer}}'' and the 1989 dub of ''[[Akira]]''.

== Appearances ==
{{seealso|:Category:Stinkoman Filmography|Stinkoman Filmography}}
*Email [[japanese cartoon]] {{--}} [[Strong Bad]], asked what a Japanese cartoon starring him would be like, creates Stinkoman, 1-Up, Pan Pan, and the world of 20X6.
*[[Main Page 17]] {{--}} The [[Main Page]] is 20X6-themed, also featuring the first appearance of Marzi-Mei.
*[[20X6 vs. 1936]] {{--}} [[The Homestar Runner]] finds himself on Planet K, coming into conflict with Stinkoman.
*[[Under Construction]] {{--}} An [[April Fools' Day|April Fools' joke]] conceals a 20X6 toon.
*[[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu]] {{--}} The menu is styled after a 20X6 {{w|shoot 'em up}} arcade game, featuring multiple 20X6 characters including the first appearance of [[Z Sabre]].
*Email [[time capsule]] {{--}} In the finale, time skips ahead to show Stinkoman and 1-Up discovering time capsules left by Strong Bad and Homestar years ago.
*[[Stinkoman 20X6]] {{--}} A game centered around Stinkoman and the world of 20X6.
*[[Happy Trogday]] {{--}} In a postscript, Stinkoman complains that his birthday was a week earlier and seems to have been forgotten; he is then challenged by Trogador.
*Email [[alternate universe]] {{--}} Stinkoman is among the many dimension-crossing Strong Bad variations featured in the email.
*Email [[trading cards]] {{--}} A 20X6 card game, featuring Stinkoman and Cheatball, that combines elements of the ''{{w|Pokémon Trading Card Game|Pokémon}}'' and ''{{w|Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game|Yu-Gi-Oh!}}'' trading card games is shown.
*Email [[web comics]] {{--}} Strong Bad makes a comic by recycling game sprites from the ''Stinkoman 20X6'' game.
**[[Make-O Your Own Stinko]] {{--}} A comic creator featuring many of the game sprites.
*[[Twenty THANXty Six]] {{--}} 1-Up teaches Stinkoman how to give thanks in a special [[Thanksgiving]] episode of ''Stinkoman and the Challenge of the Crystal Shards''.
*[[8-Bit is Enough]] {{--}} [[Strong Bad]] ends up in ''Stinkoman 20X6'' and meets Stinkoman, Browntant and Chorch.

The '''{{w|Web server directory index|index page}}''' is what first greets visitors to [[homestarrunner.com]]. In addition to directing viewers to a [[Main Pages|main page]], [[Index Page Messages|recent updates]] and [[store]] items are also highlighted.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|The Cheat}}, {{Film|Strong Mad}}, {{Film|Strong Sad}}, {{Film|Pom Pom}}, {{Film|Marzipan}}, {{Film|Coach Z}}, {{Film|Bubs}}, {{Film|The King of Town}}, {{Film|The Poopsmith}}, {{Film|Homsar}}, {{Film|Trogdor}} (Trogday 2008), {{Film|Sticklyman}} (December 31, 2020)

:'''December 31, 2020 Page Title:''' Umber Construmption!

==History==
Before the index page was created, an [[:Category:Intro Toons|introduction toon]] automatically played for visitors that would then redirect to a main page.

===Yellow Index Page (2003-2020)===
[[Image:Intro decision page.png|thumb|220px|Everybody! Everybody!]]
The first index page (created ''ca.'' June 10, 2003) featured [[Homestar Runner]], silently standing still but blinking, in front of a golden backdrop with the text "homestarrunner.com" tiled behind him at varying opacity. Homestar was accompanied by two options: "come on in" {{--}} leading to a random [[Main Pages|main page]] {{--}} and "watch intro" {{--}} playing [[Old New Intro|the introduction animation]] and then automatically redirecting to a random main page. The [[navbar]] was also visible, allowing visitors to bypass the two options and directly navigate to a specific subsection of the site.

"Come on in" would only select from the first [[Main Page 20|20]] main pages, and the intro only the first [[Main Page 14|14]], even though there were 26 main pages by the time this index page was replaced.

Through fall 2005, the [[Ween Intro]] would play during the [[Halloween]] season.

====April Fools' Day====
This page was frequently replaced or altered for an [[April Fools' Day]] gag on the first of April.

*'''2004:''' A faux {{w|Domain parking|parked domain}} page suggested that the [[homestarrunner.com]] URL was now held by [[Thorax Corporation]], before revealing the [[20X6]] toon [[Under Construction]].
*'''2005:''' [[HomestarRunner.com: PAY PLUS!]] greeted viewers by informing them that Homestar Runner had become a subscription-based site.
*'''2006:''' The index page, along with most of the website, [[April Fools' 2006|was rotated upside-down]].
*'''2009:''' [[April Fool 09]] replaced the index page, changing the [[Old New Intro|intro]] into [[Sbemailiarized Entertainment|a Strong Bad email]].
*'''2010:''' The toon [[Xeriouxly Forxe]], announcing extreme redesigns for the characters, automatically played.
*'''2014:''' The index page [[April Fool 2014|appeared old and dilapidated]] before playing a toon joking about [[Hiatuses|the current status of the website]]. This alternate index page remained in place for roughly three months.

Image:Intro decision page flipped.png|Flip 'em up Fran (2006)
Image:AprilFools2014.png|Dilapidated index page (2014)
</gallery>
====Trogday 08====
[[Image:Trogdor Intro.png|thumb|Troggie turns Five!]]
On January 13, 2008, the index page featured a picture of [[Trogdor]] in the shape of the numeral 5 (referred to elsewhere [[Store T-Shirts#tshirt_5dor|as Five-dor]]) on a black background, to celebrate [[Trogday (holiday)|Trogdor's fifth birthday]]. The two text options appeared in all caps with exclamation points. This page remained up for a week, returning to normal on January 21.

Unlike the standard index page, "come on in!" on the Five-dor index page linked to all the existing main pages (1 through [[Main Page 24|24]]).

====Other Variations====
On January 21, 2010, a "shop our store" link was added and the "come on in" link was moved to the center of the page. After [[Xeriouxly Forxe|that year's April Fools']], the original index page was restored on April 2.

An [[Old-Timey]] version of the index page featuring a mechanized [[The Homestar Runner]] was shown in [[sbemail 206]], though it never was in place on the actual index page.

</gallery>

====Post-Flash Transition (2018-2020)====
{{seealso|Post-Flash Site Update}}
On January 13, 2018, an [[Index Page Footer|HTML footer]] was added to the page mentioning the retirement of [[Flash]]. It announced a future redesign of the site, linked to [[YouTube]] videos and the HTML [[TROGDOR!]] game, and allowed viewers to sign up for [[the Deleteheads Download]] mailing list. This text was updated frequently, usually for announcements.

On July 17, 2018, an unfinished redesigned version was revealed at [[newhr:|new.homestarrunner.com]]. This re-imagined index page featured an embedded YouTube player, with drop-down menus for playlists and episodes. However, it was given little attention and few to no updates after its unveiling, later officially referred to as abandoned.

On December 31, 2020, the page was replaced by a white screen with a static image of [[Sticklyman]] shoveling pudding with the Homestar Runner logo, stating that the site was "way under construction" and "might [[be's]] down and/or weird for a bit". Soon after, [[Post-Flash Site Update|the website was updated]], and the page was upgraded to the current version.

</gallery>

== Current Version (2021-Present) ==
''From "[[Post-Flash Site Update#Post-Flash Update Notice|post-flash update!]]":''
<blockquote>The first thing you'll notice is that the landing page when you go to homestarrunner.com is very different. There are now useful things on here! Not just "watch intro!".</blockquote>

The index page features [[Homestar Runner]] and [[Strong Bad]] standing in a stylized version of [[the field]], underneath "homestarrunner.com" written in large text in the typeface Bauhaus 93. A blue ribbon reading "come on in" on the left leads to a random main page. On the right are two content blocks of auto-scrolling captioned images: "the latest [[style]]s", consisting of [[Index Page Messages|messages about updates]], and "[[store]]", highlighting recent products at all three storefronts. A feed of [[@StrongBadActual]] tweets was featured alongside these two widgets; this was removed November 23, 2023.

The scene changes to reflect the time of day on the viewer's computer clock (in a manner similar to the old [[Store Thank You Messages]]):
<gallery>

Image:IndexPageNight.png|Nighttime (8:00PM {{-}} 6:59AM)
</gallery>

== Easter Eggs ==
*Characters will peek in from the left when clicking on Homestar or [[Strong Bad]] (or when time has passed), and will say a line when clicked. Clicking near the left side of the screen or on Homestar or Strong Bad will also make a character show up.
**'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''
**'''STRONG MAD:''' I'M A WEBSITE!
**'''STRONG SAD:''' Leave me alone!
**'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''
**'''MARZIPAN:''' Lookin' pretty good! (line taken directly from [[The Luau]])
**'''COACH Z:''' This is a great worbsite!
**'''BUBS:''' That's five dollars a click!
**'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Doo hoo hoo hoo!
**'''THE POOPSMITH:''' ''{"splat" sound}''
**'''HOMSAR:''' Ah'm a real batch export!

*On April 16, 2025, the Index Page was updated with the text "celebrating 25 dot coms".
**Clicking on the words will cause Homestar to say "dot com" and a ".com" will appear. Each time the words are clicked, another ".com" will appear. At the 26th click, a final ".com" will fill the screen, and then they will all fade away.
**Clicking on each pop-up character will cause the character to say a line:
***'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises that resemble "dot com"}''
***'''STRONG MAD:''' I'M A WEBSITE!
***'''STRONG SAD:''' Dooot cooom.
***'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''
***'''MARZIPAN:''' Dot com!
***'''COACH Z:''' Dort corm!
***'''BUBS:''' Dot com!
***'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Dot com!
***'''THE POOPSMITH:''' ''{"splat" sound}''
***'''HOMSAR:''' Ah'm your worst RSS feed.

Minor Foods

2025-11-26T05:36:38Z

DorianGray: /* General Minor Foods */ Sauces and sundaes

Just as people in the real world need to eat, so do the characters in the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. These '''food items''' are varied, from strange ethnic foods to common junk food. Some foods are just plainly ridiculous in their name, shape, or size, while others look normal. Some characters even have their own brand of food named after themselves (or as a pun on their name) or shaped like the character.

The cereal is not part of a nutritious breakfast, but rather a delicious or "ridiculous" one. They come in two varieties: "regular", and with [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows]]. The commercial shows it being eaten alongside a glass of caramel candies, a mug of marshmallows, a slice of chocolate fudge cake on a plate, and a gallon of [[ice cream]] (not pictured). The spokesperson suggests taking vitamins too. The box features several activities on the back, such as a [[Crack Stuntman]] mask, a maze and a word search.
