==Transcript==

''{Theme music begins to play as the words "homestarrunner.com presents HREMAIL #7" gradually grow larger on the screen. "Copyright 2001" appears in the bottom right corner. Cuts to Homestar Runner in his [[Homestar Runner Evolution|fifth design]] doing a dance in time to the music, which soon ends.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh hello everybody everybody! I'm Homestar Runner.

''{Scene changes to show Homestar Runner sitting behind a wooden desk.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Today's question goes like-a this-a...

''{Drumroll sounds, Homestar taps his shoes in anticipation.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Reading aloud.}'' Greetings Homestar Runner!

''{Zooms in on a piece of paper containing the e-mail.}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background:#FFF;color:#000">
Greetings Homestar Runner!<br/>
Can you talk about some of your favorite drinks?<br/>
~Johnny V.<br/>
DeKalb, IL
</blockquote>

''{Reads "Johnny V." as "Johnny Vest in the Chest"}''

''{Scene changes back to the desk.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Of course I can talk about my fave-o drinks!

''{Cuts to an angle shot of Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And as a national spokesmodel for the ''{logo appears in the corner of the screen}'' Ethical Advancement of Melonade, I am contractually unable to drink, ''{logo slides off-screen}'' talk about, or bathe in any other liquid!

''{Cuts back to desk.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Most folk think that melonade comes in but one flavor.

''{Zooms in on Homestar with desk top still visible.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But thanks to giant leaps in melonade technology, we can now choose from hundreds of flavor-encrusted varieties. Some of my favo flavors include:

''{Zooms in on the melonade can on the desk.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Taco Annihilation, ''{replaces the can with one labeled the same in fiesta lettering and a mushroom cloud over a taco}'' Athletic Berry Blast, ''{slides another can next to it}'' Butt 1 Flavor, ''{places a can with a picture of a discarded cigarette butt on it near Taco Annihilation}'' Quadruple Triple, ''{slides it in front of Taco Annihilation and Athletic Berry Blast}'' CostaLatte Froth, ''{places a can with a picture of a teacup on it on the far right}'' and Sizzlin' Bacon Guava Quench. ''{places a can with bacon and guava fruit in front of Quadruple Triple and Casta Latte Froth}''

''{Zooms out to show Homestar again.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Or why not try the new line of powdered throat closers. ''{holds up a pink packet labeled Melonade Throat Closers}'' Apply directly to the esophagus!

''{Homestar Runner opens the packet and pours the powder into his mouth. He then begins to cough, his eyes growing increasingly smaller until his throat visibly tightens.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{gasping}'' Huuuh— that's good stuff!

''{Scene switches to show Strong Bad and The Cheat walking as music plays in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing off-key}'' I have a face, and it ''{unintelligible}'', I'm Strong Bad, he's The Cheat and I'm Strong Bad...

''{Music stops as the two arrive at Homestar's desk where he's sitting unhappily.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's going on here, crap for nose?

''{Zooms in on Homestar Runner.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{hoarsely}'' Oh, hi, Strong Bad. ''{gradually improves}'' I'm in the middle of responding to a fan email.

''{Switches to Strong Bad, scratching his head in confusion.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A what-mail?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' An email, ''{zooms out to show everyone}'' like on the Internet!

'''STRONG BAD:''' A what-mail on the Inter-what?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You know, WWW, hyperlinks, AOL keywords, ''{the text "AOL Keyword> Macromedia Flash 5 Animation" appears at the bottom of the screen}'' and all that good stuff!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, your dumbness never ceases to amaze. I don't even know half the jibber you jabber these days!

''{Cuts to show Strong Sad waving his hand in the air.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, Homestar's right. Electronic mail ''{the screen goes black and hypnotic as he continues, his voice becoming increasingly echoed}'' is transmitted from one computer to another, via a web of computers connected to phone line—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{screen suddenly goes back to normal}'' Hush down, crap for mouth!

'''STRONG SAD:''' When you dial up, it sounds like this!

''{Strong Sad starts imitating modem handshaking noises. Scene cuts to Strong Bad and The Cheat, then to Homestar Runner, who furrows his brow, then back to Strong Sad as he finishes. He slowly looks up. Then it cuts back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let me get this straight. You guys are saying that my adoring fans could be sending me piles of what-mails right now, and I'm not getting them?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{pronounces it slowly}'' Emails.

''{Switches to a closeup of Strong Bad's mouth.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Eeeee-mails? ''{his mouth begins to wobble as he tries pronouncing the word}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, you need an email address first. I can let you borrow strongbad@homestarrunner.com until you get your own domain.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, crap for ear. But my name at your name dot com sounds like a terrible email address. I'm sure I'll be able to figure out getting my own domain.

''{Zooms in on Strong Bad and The Cheat as they start walking to the left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, The Cheat. Let's walk over here a few feet and steal Homestar's computer.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Umm... that's my old one. It barely works. I'd be surprised if you could check more than forty emails on it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohh, you can't fool me. This thing's top of the line! It's got ''two'' contrast knobs! ''{grabs the [[Tandy 400]] out of the trash can}'' Let's go start answering fan mail in humorous fashion. Nobody's ever done that before!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks for taking my garbage out, guys! Come back and do the dishes if you want!

''{The screen shifts quickly over to Strong Sad, where he's still standing.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angrily}'' Please, leave.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Awwwww... ''{walks off-screen sideways}''

''{Cuts back to a close-up of Homestar as music starts to play.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So there you have it, Johnny! I talked about some of my favo drinks ''{holds up the various Melonade cans}'' just like you asked. I'll tell you about my non-Melonade favorite drinks in March of 2003, when my contract expires ''{holds up some stapled papers labeled 'The "Deal"'}''. Now I have to go make me a sweet-bath.

''{Zooms out as Homestar Runner walks offscreen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' a-Gonna take a bath in some Melonade... oh it kinda stings my skin...

''{The words "The End" slide down.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on the 'D' at the end to watch Strong Bad's first encounter with the Tandy 400.
*:''{Strong Bad and The Cheat both look at the Tandy 400's blank screen.}''

*:''{zooms out to show the whole room.}''

*:'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{cuts him off, making exclamatory The Cheat noises}''
*:'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yeah... smart thinking! Now go call Abdi and make him send me some fanmail!
*:''{The Cheat jumps off the stool and walks off.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Remarks===
*Clicking the contrast knobs on the [[Tandy 400]] has no effect.
**They can also be clicked through The Cheat's head in the Easter egg, but still have no effect.
*The short uses the old loading screen.
*The short says it is from 2001, but is listed as 2009 in the [[New Stuff]] menu.
*Although there were 40 "Tandy Era" emails, only 39 emails were actually answered on the Tandy. [[the bird]] and [[weird dream]] were answered using Pom Pom's Pom-Pilot and The Cheat's computer, respectively. Strong Bad replaced Tandy with the [[Compy 386]] in [[invisibility]], the 41st email. Finally, Strong Bad answered one last email on the Tandy in [[retirement]] (in 2006).
*Aside from Homestar's voice, the voices in the toon do not match the voices each character had in 2001, but rather are the voices they had at the time this toon was released.
*The Athletic Berry Blast, Butt 1 Flavor, and Sizzlin' Bacon Guava Quench cans have no mention of being or containing Melonade on them.
*Though he's not seen with it, Homestar ''was'' mentioned to have [[Mountain Dew]] in [[techno]], before the March 2003 contract expired.
*In [[email thunder]], Homestar having his own email show seemed to be a surprise to Strong Bad, but if he started his own email show after seeing Homestar's in progress as implied here, he shouldn't have been surprised when he found out about [[hremails]] in email thunder.
*In this email, Homestar has a lip-sync graphic for the [[Wikipedia:Voiceless labiodental fricative|'f' sound]], which his modern counterpart lacks.
*The Tandy appears to be on even though it isn't plugged in.
*This toon conflicts with the continuity in [[candy product]]. During one scene, Strong Bad is adjusting the date of the [[Tandy 400]] on the last day of 1999. But according to Hremail #7, Strong Bad acquired the Tandy in 2001.
**However, it should be pointed out that this scene forms part of a commercial for Strong Bad's [[SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar]], which wasn't invented until 2006. Furthermore, Strong Bad is seen holding the candy bar, implying that although this scene is set in 1999, it was actually recreated in the year 2006.
**Strong Bad was also seen with the Tandy in the email [[no loafing]], in the year [[1987]].
**Strong Bad's very first email was shown on a laserdisc in [[lady...ing]], which the character designs were from [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], which was released in 1999.
*Strong Bad had trouble saying the word "e-mail" in Hremail #7 and seemed ignorant of the Internet. But in [[looking old]], Strong Bad talked about "eStrong Vague Online Investments" that was sold in the late 1990s.

===Goofs===
*Each of the characters in this toon are revisions from 2000, and each had a newer version before 2001, when this toon says it was made.
*When Homestar says, "Some of my favo flavors include:" The beginning of the sound clip is slightly cut off.
*The wrong [[font]] was used for the word "contrast" on the Tandy; it should be Tw Cen MT, but Arial was used instead.
*At the end, there is a small red mark beneath the 'D' in 'End'.

===Inside References===
*Homestar talks about [[Melonade]]. One of the flavors is [[smoking|Butt 1]].
*Strong Bad refers to Homestar with the phrases "[[crap]] for ear" and "crap for nose", even though [[Lack of Visible Body Parts|he does not have a visible ear or nose]].
**The intent is similar to when Strong Bad refers to someone as "crap [[for brains]]".
*In the Easter egg, Strong Bad instructs The Cheat to call up [[Abdi]], the sender of [[some kinda robot|the first Strong Bad Email]].
*In the Easter egg, [[The Cheat]] apparently tells Strong Bad [[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|how to type with boxing gloves on]].
*Strong Bad provides an explanation of why he never obtained his own domain name in [[April Fool 09]].
*Strong Bad's comments about answering emails from fans in humorous fashion mirrors [[email thunder]], where Homestar Runner states that he "answers emails from fans with humorous results".
*Homestar greets "everybody everybody", a reference to the [[Intro]].
*The fact that Homestar says "That's good stuff" even when he obviously seems to be in distress reflects a similar scene in [[environment]]

===Real-World References===
*Many athletes endorse a brand of sports drink, or other product, and are usually seen only with that product, as it is a contractual obligation of them to do so.
*The Melonade flavor ''Taco Annihilation'' could be a reference to the 1997 PC game [[Wikipedia:Total Annihilation|Total Annihilation]].
*The flavor ''Sizzlin' Bacon Guava Quench'' may be a reference to a [http://www.myspace.com/dietcokewithbacon 2006 April Fool's joke], which included a phony press release for a new bacon-flavored [[wikipedia:Diet Coke|Diet Coke]].
*Homestar's phrase "Apply directly to the esophagus" is a play on the slogan "Apply directly to the forehead" for the product [[Wikipedia:HeadOn|HeadOn]].
*When Homestar sings that he's going to take a [[Melonade]] bath, the melody he uses is the same as the Post "[[Wikipedia:Golden_Crisp|Golden Crisp]]" Cereal jingle (i.e.: "Can't get enough of that Golden Crisp; it's got the crunch with punch!").

Lack of Visible Body Parts

2009-03-18T06:46:30Z

FlapperPrower: /* Marzipan's Legs */

Many [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] characters '''lack certain body parts''' that most people in the real world would have. Despite this, they can still do the things that everyday people are capable of. However, they do take note of their unusual structures.

== Arms ==
[[Image:Armlesssleeve.PNG|thumb|Homestar's invisible arms?]]
:''Main article: [[Lack of Visible Arms]]''

A number of characters (most notably [[Homestar Runner]]) do not appear to have visible arms, but are commonly seen manipulating objects as though they had limbs. This is sometimes called out directly by various characters, and occasional references are made to this fact. The specific method by which "armless" characters can manipulate objects and their surroundings has never been fully revealed.

{{clear}}

== Coach Z's Face ==
[[Image:Horrendousspitter.PNG|thumb|Horrendous Spitter]]

''"The Yello Dello is the most rare and beautiful bird in this entire cartoon."''

Homestar wants to get a birthday gift for Marzipan, but can't decide what to get. Coach Z advises him to get something rare and exotic, so Homestar, Pom Pom, and Strong Sad head out to catch the Yello Dello.
The DVD is complete with commentary, the old version of the cartoon, and deleted scenes. The characters are drawn in a [[Stylized Character Designs|stylized fashion]].

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Coach Z}}, {{Film|Pom Pom}}, [[Unnamed Characters#Other Characters|The Alien Guy]], [[The Mountain Goat]], [[The Yello Dello]], {{Film|Strong Sad}}, {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|Marzipan}}, {{Film|The Announcer}}, {{Film|Strong Mad}}

'''Places:''' [[The Athletic Field]], [[Coach Z's Locker Room]], A Mountain, [[Far Off Lands]], Various Fields, Marzipan's Garden, [[Homestar Runner's House]]

'''Date:''' Thursday, May 4, 2000

{{dvd|Everything Else, Volume 2}}

'''Commentary''': Strong Bad, Strong Sad, and Homestar Runner talk about the movie as it's being played.

'''Deleted Scenes''': A pixelated challenge modeled after the Atari 2600 game <span class="plainlinks">''[http://www.atariage.com/screenshot_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=976 Barnstorming]''</span>; Coach Z and Homestar Runner in the shower room; and Strong Mad telling Marzipan about the Yello Dello.

==Transcripts==
{{YelloDello}}

== Fun Facts ==

=== Remarks ===
*During the scene where Coach Z is giving advice to Homestar, Homestar's star appears as a pentacle — a hollow star drawn with lines across each point. Stars are often drawn this way because it's easier to make them symmetrical.
*In the third deleted scene (where Strong Mad plays Strong Bad's role), the tattoo on Strong Mad's right arm is of the band [[Wikipedia:Black Flag (band)|Black Flag]]. He is also wearing a shirt with a megaphone decal on it.
*The flower that Marzipan is watering is similar to the flower in Coach Z's "bad gift" scenario.
*Marzipan's handprint seems to indicate that she has [[Lack of Visible Arms|invisible arms and hands]].
*Unless Pom Pom had two identical guns, he couldn't have pulled out the gun the second time, because he threw it away.
*There is no "back" link at the end of the old version.
*The link to the storyboards no longer works.
*Despite the Yello Dello's feminine appearance and the fact that it's referred to as a ''her'', it speaks in a male voice.
*This is the first appearance of [[Atari 2600]] graphics in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work.

=== Goofs ===
*In the scene where Pom Pom is floating, the dots on Homestar's hat disappear while he talks.
*In the locker room scene, Coach Z's right foot is cut down by a thin gray line in the middle, showing a mistake in copy and pasting.
*In the scene where Pom Pom and Homestar are supporting Strong Sad so he can tell his story, Homestar wakes up and slides out from underneath Strong Sad, yet Strong Sad doesn't move (he was previously standing on top of Homestar).

=== Inside References ===
*The goat head that pops out from behind the mountain in Coach Z's "bad gift" scenario also appeared in [[Audition with Marzipan]].
*This is another reference to [[goats]].
*In the commentary, Strong Sad reveals that he dreams of [[Death#Strong Sad|his own death]] (over and over and over...)
*In the commentary, Homestar accidentally introduces the toon as "the King of Town Super DVD", which references to [[The King of Town DVD]].
*In the commentary, Strong Bad's saying that he doesn't trust Pom Pom any further than he can throw him is another reference to [[The King of Town DVD]], where SB makes the same quote in the commentary about the little chef guy.
*[[Oven mitts]] appear several times in the DVD.
*The alien guy is seen [[showering]].
*The rating slide in the trailer reads, "EVERYBODY! EVERYBODY!", a reference to [[Intro]].
*The Australian narrator's line about the Yello Dello being the rarest and most beautiful bird in the cartoon [[breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]].

=== Real-World References ===
* "Hello Yello Dello" might be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Three Stooges|The Three Stooges']] quote of "Hello, Hello, Hello! Hello hello hello hello hello!"
*The deleted scene with the plane is a reference to the [[Atari 2600]] game ''[[Wikipedia:Barnstorming (video game)|Barnstorming]]''.
*In the third deleted scene, Strong Mad sports a [[Wikipedia:Black Flag|Black Flag]] tatoo.
*The scene with the scorpion is from the classic Atari 2600 game [[Wikipedia:Pitfall!|Pitfall!]].
*The title may be a reference to the old TV series [[Wikipedia:In Search of...|In Search of...]], which was narrated by [[Wikipedia:Leonard Nimoy|Leonard Nimoy]] ([[Wikipedia:Star Trek|Star Trek]]'s [[Wikipedia:Mr. Spock|Mr. Spock]]) and detailed the search for various legendary beasts, artifacts, and places (e.g. In Search of [[Wikipedia:Bigfoot|Bigfoot]], In Search of [[Wikipedia:Loch Ness Monster|The Loch Ness Monster]], and so on).
*[[Wikipedia:Mello Yello|Mello Yello]] (mentioned in the third deleted scene) is a brand of soda made by [[Wikipedia:Coca-Cola|Coca-Cola]] similar to [[Mountain Dew]].
*The voice-over that describes the Yello Dello is similar to [[Wikipedia:Steve Irwin|Steve Irwin]], also known as The Crocodile Hunter.
*"Discover Network" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Discovery Channel|Discovery Channel]].
*The obnoxiously loud menu theme is a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Pitfall II: Lost Caverns|Pitfall II: Lost Caverns]]'', which also featured incredibly loud music for an Atari game. The menu theme is not the same as that of ''Pitfall II'', but it is very similar.
*The Yello Dello's manner of eating is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:LucasArts|LucasArts]] adventure game ''[[Wikipedia:LOOM|LOOM]]'', in which a seagull eats a clam in the same way.
*The character from the Atari 2600 game ''[[Wikipedia:Yars' Revenge|Yars' Revenge]]'' that Homestar mentions in the Commentary is the Yar that you control in the game. In the game you can eat squares off of the Quotile's (the enemy) Shield.
*The way the music fades as it reaches the end of a loop (unlike most other loops on the site) may be a reference to the looping music used on some DVD menus. Due to technical limitations, music used in DVD menus cannot loop and is often faded out similarly to the music used here.
*Strong Bad's name being in a box in the theatrical trailer is a reference to a common tactic used in movie poster credits to highlight the name of a well-known actor who is not top-billed.
*The song played at the end of the cartoon is similar to the "game start" music from [[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong (video game)|the original Donkey Kong]]

=== Fast Forward ===
*In the deleted scene, where Homestar and his companions are in the plane, after they fly into the ducks Homestar yells out, "Somebody get this freakin' [[duck]] away from me!" This would be later said by Strong Bad relating to the [[Atari dragon]] on [[Main Page 13]].
*The quote, "I think I has the solution" was later said by Strong Bad in [[little questions]].
*The [[rating screen]] in the theatrical trailer is used again in the trailer for [[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]].
*Marzipan's shriek from the Old Version can be heard in [[Ween 08 Teaser]].

*An Easter egg is added involving a 4th Deleted Scene.

''{Open to a blue background with Michael Stipe's face with a message reading "Deleted Scene #4; 'Yello Dello' featured Strong Sad's first spoken lines in a cartoon. This was the first stab at his voice: Matt's bad [[Wikipedia:Michael Stipe|Michael Stipe]] impression. So bad, in fact, that it was never to be heard again". Cut to Strong Sad in a scene from the new version of Yello Dello.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{sounds supposedly like Michael Stipe.}'' I don't know, Homestar. That looks... really dangerous.

Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship

2008-10-07T23:00:22Z

FlapperPrower: /* Homestar offending Marzipan */

[[Image:Marzipan Frowns in Narrator.PNG|thumb|"...until a dorky chef's hat threatened to tear them apart."]]
[[Homestar Runner]] and [[Marzipan]], although officially dating, have a rather tenuous '''relationship''', as has been evidenced several times. While they are occasionally affectionate toward one another, their relationship is most often strained, as Strong Bad observes when he refers to Marzipan as Homestar's "estranged girlfriend". Homestar frequently insults Marzipan (although he may not realize that he is doing so), and Marzipan occasionally treats Homestar with contempt. Occasionally, they even break up or mention breaking up. Nevertheless, they always end up together again. Marzipan, at least, regards their relationship as [[Wikipedia:open relationship|open]], and as such has gone on dates with [[The Cheat]] and [[Bubs]]. Homestar's chagrin at this shows that he does not agree with Marzipan's assessment of their relationship as open.

Talk:Strong Badia the Free

2008-09-16T19:14:14Z

FlapperPrower: /* So what's the story? */

== Possible Name Move ==

Since the title spelling is based on the IGN article, it's not clear if it should be ''Strongbadia the Free'' or ''Strong Badia the Free''. Strong Bad has said it should be [[myths & legends|two different words]] in the past. Should we move the article now, or wait until official confirmation? {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 13:49, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
:I would like to move the article now. After IGN.com errored in at least 2 DVD reviews and despicably boasted about SBCG4AP coming July 21, I can't trust the name they gave this game {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 19:12, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
::I would suggest waiting it out until we have a clearer picture of this. Our only source uses this spelling, so we ought to keep it until something clearer shows up (such as releases from Telltale or TBC). {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:23, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
:It's "Strong Badia the Free," unless we are feeling really desperate and non-canon and remove the space for character-length reasons or something horrible. The in-game logo for the episode, much like the stop sign from which it came, reads "Strong Badia," though. [[User:TTGJake|TTGJake]] 06:05, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
::Thanks for the info, Jake. I've fixed accordingly. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:54, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

== KOT?? ==

I noticed that there are few moments on the website where the KOT actually acts like a king. This is one of those few... Anyone else noticed that? {{User:Parrothead1/sig}} 17:53, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

== Homsar? ==

He isn't in the preview, what's the source that he's definitely in the game? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 17:16, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

:IGN's sneak peak lists him being in it. - [[User:OkayGraphics|OkayGraphics]] 17:17, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

== Possible costume pieces? ==

I'm thinkin' the Dangeresque glasses will be available.
Other items might include:
Lotionman,
The hor-ned helmet,
Ab-abber markings,
Freshley's shoeboxes,
and Strongbad's snowflake shirt from happy dethemberween.
amirite?
:This is all speculation. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:03, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

== IGN's pictures ==

[http://media.wii.ign.com/media/142/14246169/imgs_1.html Here]. Most notably, [[Homsar]] is in one of 'em. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:42, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

== Spoiler warning? ==

Over on the Telltale forum, Strong Badia the Free's lead designer, Chuck Jordan, cautioned against reading IGN's hands-on article, due to it giving away more than it should have. Do you guys ever tag previews of unreleased material with spoiler warnings or anything like that? [[User:TTGJake|TTGJake]] 16:34, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
:I just put up some type of spoiler warning near the link. There's probably a better way to word it, though. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 16:51, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

== Date ==

I heard its coming 9/15
:Meaningless unless you have a source to cite. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 22:33, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

ign IS MY SOUCRE in the hands on and on the game page at it too.
: Ah, but what's IGN's source? It's possible that they're just estimating (September 15 roughly one month after Homestar Ruiner's release.) Homestar Ruiner came much later than expected, remember. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:01, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

I SAID IN THE HANDS ON PREVIEW AT PAX 08
: I was at PAX '08 too, but I don't remember seeing anything about the 15th. Do you have any evidence? We're not saying you're wrong, just that we need some kind of verifiability. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:56, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

If anyone told someone a date at PAX, it probably wasn't a Telltale employee. We haven't announced the date because we don't know the exact date. The moment we have a confirmed launch date agreed upon by everybody, we post it to the Telltale blog and forum -- and Telltale or Nintendo of America will always be the first people to post an accurate release date for an SBCG4AP episode. IGN, for instance, often lists a random date just to fill their database, but that information is usually just made up by someone taking a guess when updating their game database, and isn't based on reality. [[User:TTGJake|TTGJake]] 04:18, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
: FYI, IGN sid it is the 14th, not 15th. {{User:DrPepper42/sig}} 13:35, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
HEY THE DATE IS right yes in your faces YEAH!
:We really don't need you to shout at the other users. And yes, it's confirmed. [http://www.telltalegames.com/community/blogs/id-373] --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 22:08, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
::There's nothing "in our faces". We never said it ''wasn't'' the fifteenth. We were asking for evidence, which didn't show up until yesterday or so. And gloating is a poor way of staying on others' good sides. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:49, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Sorry!

== Played around with it a little, and... ==

I'm at work now so I didn't get far, but I still have the following queries and requests:

# Will we list the reponses pages by the normal names of the locations (such as [[Strong Badia the Free Responses (House of Strong)]]) or by their SBtF names (in this case, [[Strong Badia the Free Responses (Bleak House)]])?
# I propose a page on the [[Homsar Reservation]].
# Will it be [[Strong Badia the Free Teen Girl Squad]], [[Strong Badia the Free Cave Girl Squad]], or just [[Cave Girl Squad]]? Whatever the case, the other two should be redirects.

-- {{User:Jay/sig}} 18:18, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

:I think we should use the place names as they appear on the map in each particular game, and maybe create redirects for consistency if it's different. I'm not sure if we really need redirects even. I also think I'll stop reading the wiki now until I've played the game. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 18:54, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

:::I think the TGS page should just be titled Cave Girl Squad. The one in Homestar Ruiner was only titled as it is, because it had no specific name. For the responses, there should be ones for Strong Badia (including all The Field areas), Bleak House, Homsar Reservation, Pompomerania, Country, Marzistar, and whatever the castle is called.

:::Also, should the tutorial be moved to its own page instead of leaving it on the Homestar Ruiner responses? As far as I'm aware, it's the same in both games... [[User:CloneWarrior|CloneWarrior]] 04:07, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

::::Yes the tutorial is exactly the same in this game as it was in the first. So, it should probably be pulled out of Homestar Ruiner and put someplace common between the games, or on it's own page. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 04:13, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Should Strong Badia/The Cheat and Tireia and Concessionstantinople have separate responses pages, or be put together? The only reason I ask at all is because Strong Badia was fairly important to the plot, and had at least one cutscene, It might be ''too'' crowded to Field them all together. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 07:06, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
: The Cheat and Tirerea? No. Concessionstan(tinople; it's called both)? Maybe, but realize that there's an entire rest of The Field there too. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:09, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
::Yeah, hence the slash. Whichever the Field and Concessionstantinople become, separate or together, Strong Badia and The Cheat and Tireia should be together. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 07:19, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
:::Though when I think about it, what DOES happen in Strong Badia besides a short portion of the intro and the scene with The Cheat and Tireia? Frankly, that's probably less than takes place in Marzistar or Bleak House. Though while we're on the subject, another thing occurred to me (that would not have occurred to me when I made this topic as I hadn't managed to get that far yet ;): the strategy segment at the end. Lump it with The Castle or make it separate? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:25, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
::::Oh, yeah, totally. The board game, I think, should definitely be a separate page. It's a full interactive game in itself, rather different than the last minigame (the Race to the End of the Race), where the only obstacles to victory (after extensive cheating) was timing. This one, though, is a whole, separate game that requires its own strategies and can really depend on the player's own skill and tactics. It also has its own responses and dialogue within the game, and doesn't last 22 seconds or less like the Race does. In fact, I actually have a board game just like it in real life. It definitely deserves its own page, I say. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 07:35, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

== How long to wait? ==
I've noticed a ton of Inside References and Real-World References in playing through the game, but most of them would be spoilers. How long should we wait before compiling a list? [[User:TJDevil02|TJDevil02]]
:Go for it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:50, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

== Battle Royale, really? ==

I think the exploding-collar-on-a-prisoner reference might be more likely from Wedlock, a horrible movie with Rutger Hauer (IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103239/) Of course, it depends on what the collar looks like, I'd imagine.

== So what's the story? ==

For anyone that has downloaded it already, will it replace the current Homestar Ruiner channel? Will all the episodes be condensed into one channel or will they each have their separate channel? Can anyone clear this up for me? [[User:Thrashmeister|Thrashmeister]] 00:19, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
: Separate channels. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:22, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
: Also, the clothes you've collected in Homestar Ruiner will be transferred to Strong Badia the Free. Just check the photo booth. --[[User:FlapperPrower|FlapperPrower]] 19:14, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

== Cave girl Squad ==

Can someone post the solution? -Philip8o
: Still trying to sort it out. I know you get laughs, rather than chuckles, when you:
# Give a girl a dinosaur egg in the first phase and let her live through the end of the third phase.
# Give a girl the tablet and chisel, in that order. Might need to be done after the first phase.
# Give the dog during the third phase.
# Give any girl Charles Darwin in the final stage (I'm pretty sure the final stage only happens if all the girls are dead before then.)
Oddly, with four laughs and one chuckle, I still got "perfection". The chuckle-death I got on "perfection" involved giving the ribbon during the third phase. Most of the responses are not girl-specific as far as I can tell. So and So reacts differently to the wheel than the others, but I haven't achieved a death out of it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:32, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I give up. Where's an Egg? [[User:TJDevil02|TJDevil02]]

== Do I Smell A Zelda Reference? ==

Could Homsar talking about the three tasks and disappointing end cutscene and a "boy of legend" be a Legend of Zelda ref? {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}

Bathroom of the Brothers Strong

2008-09-15T22:48:15Z

FlapperPrower:

[[Image:SB_bathroom.PNG|thumb|right|"For hundreds of years it has haunted mankind."]]
[[The Brothers Strong]] are rarely seen in the '''bathroom''' of [[House of the Brothers Strong|their house]], although [[Strong Sad]] gets locked in the bathtub every [[Decemberween]].

The bathroom includes a mirror, sink, and a [[toilet]]. Interestingly, the bathroom appears to contain both an old-fashioned bathtub and a [[Showering|shower]] (as seen in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]] and [[One Two, One Two]], respectively). The tiling is similar to that found in the bathroom of [[Homestar Runner]]'s [[Homestar Runner's House|house]] (as seen in [[Main Page 14]]).

The bathroom can be entered from either [[Strong Sad's room]] or [[Strong Mad's room]].

Strong Bad's Room

2008-08-16T03:34:08Z

FlapperPrower:

[[Image:sb_room.png|thumb|Strong Bad's Room]]
'''Strong Bad's Room''' is the messy place where Strong Bad plays video games and music. This room features green carpet, beige walls, and both normal and ultraviolet lighting. Strong Bad has adorned his walls with a [[Hanging_Objects#Strong Bad's Room|poster]] of a unicorn with a rainbow (concealing a famous poster of [[Wikipedia:Farrah Fawcett|Farrah Fawcett]]) as well as a crudely drawn poster of [[Homestar Runner]] that Strong Bad uses as a dartboard. Strong Bad puts little effort into keeping his room clean, evidenced by the discarded chips left on the floor from [[The Cheat]]'s [[cheatday|birthday]] party and the live cockroach (presumably [[Gavin]]) who enjoys them.

Strong Bad spends his time in his room playing such games as the [[Nighttime Driving Type Game]] on his [[FunMachine]] and listening to music by such artists as [[Wikipedia:Peter Frampton|Peter Frampton]] on his stereo. Surprisingly, Strong Bad is never seen sleeping in his room but instead sleeps on [[the couch]] in [[Basement of the Brothers Strong|The Basement]]. It is possible that Strong Bad has the entire basement to himself.

[[Strong Bad]]'s room has appeared in Easter eggs in Nighttime Driving Type Game, [[Homestar Talker]] and [[Field Day Intro‎]], as well as in the email [[nightlife]]. According to the Easter egg in Nighttime Driving Type Game, Strong Bad's room is in the basement of the house. This is confirmed in [[nightlife]], when Strong Bad is preparing to go to [[Club Technochocolate]] and Strong Sad enters his bedroom from [[Basement of the Brothers Strong|The Basement]]. On the other hand, in [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]] Strong Bad's room is on the first floor rather than in the basement.
It's also known that Strong Bad makes his [[Teen Girl Squad]] episodes in this room according to Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People.

== Biography ==
'''Homestar Runner''' (middle name either [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig#Transcript|Michael]] or [[time capsule#Commentary Transcript|Hal]]) is the star of his namesake website. The subject of jokes and the recipient of [[Nicknames#Homestar Runner|nicknames]], Homestar is an earnest character with a pure heart and nothing but love for the rest of mankind. Unfortunately, his absolute cluelessness and clumsiness keep him from realizing his full potential. As Strong Bad stated in [[TrogdorCon '97]], he has an "unbelievably loose grasp on the world around [him]". He's not ''completely'' stupid, though (he once correctly stated [[Wikipedia:Coulomb's law|Coulomb's law]]; albeit after being asked what two plus two is), and has proven to be remarkably clever in the past, though such occurrences are few and far between. He and most of the other residents of [[Free Country, USA]] speak English, but as seen in his [[First Time Here?|welcome speech to homestarrunner.com]], he is also able to speak Spanish, though it is unknown exactly how much. According to the toon [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], he weighs about one hundred pounds.

Homestar is the star athlete on an unspecified sports team led by [[Coach Z]] and keeps it that way via vigorous workouts, as revealed in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[dullard]]. He is also the colonel (which is always pronounced phonetically) of the [[Homestarmy]], while his [[Homestar Runner and Pom Pom's Relationship|best friend]] remains [[Pom Pom]]. He has some [[Wikipedia:Rhotacism|speech impediments]] (as he says, he has "[[Puppet Jam: Vitamins/Celebrities|twouble with [his] aw's]]"), and appears to have [[Homestar Runner and Homestar Runner's Relationship|short-term memory problems]], as he frequently forgets things he has just done or said, (for examples, see the [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 12.2|12th Answering Machine]] or [[Homestar Presents: Presents]]). He also tends to "borrow" things from (and return things to) [[Strong Bad]], for example, [[Strong Bad's fondue pot]]. Though he [[Lack of Visible Arms|lacks a visible pair of arms]], he is still able to function as though he has them, being able to carry and throw things and even type proficiently. It's generally accepted that either he ''does'' have arms, but for reasons that are never explained, they are invisible, or that he has limited telekinetic powers. He frequently uses two-syllable exclamations, like [[montage|"Hi-Ya!"]], [[radio|"Highball!"]], and [[Homestar Presents: Presents|"Ah-tpoo!"]].

Although he is often the target of pranks by Strong Bad, Homestar believes that he is friends with the "[[wrestleman]]" and tries to win his favor, often with bad results that Homestar completely misunderstands. Occasionally, he and Strong Bad will be on pleasant terms, usually participating together in a Strong Bad Email or watching TV at Homestar's house. As a whole, Homestar seems to be too dim to realize when people are being mean to him, or when he's being mean to other people. He often unintentionally insults his friends or steps on their feelings and is unable to understand their resulting feelings of anger. Another quirk of Homestar is his ability to be easily outsmarted at his own game, and still be completely oblivious and even happy. As Strong Bad put it in [[secret recipes]], "It's like, even when we win, he wins."

[[Image:Homestarteeth.png|thumb|130px|Yes, he does have teeth.]]

Homestar has behaved arrogantly on various subjects, often caused by discussions of tender subjects, misunderstanding the topic at-hand or his general ignorance of the present situation. While arrogant, he acts single minded and in extreme instances, violently, in a side of his character not often shown on the website, before coming down into upset and exhausted state, such as in [[Happy Fireworks]], when he refuses to acknowledge Marzipan's lack of presence, or in [[long pants]], where he is indignant about the suggestion that he does not, in fact, wear long pants.

At present, Homestar works on the [[isp|help desk]] at an [[The Office|unnamed tech company]] with Strong Bad and [[The Cheat]], but has frequently dabbled in the entertainment industry. He made several [[Fluffy Puff Commercial|commercials]] for [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows]] along with the product's mascot, [[Marshie]]. He is also the host of an obscure talk/game show named "[[The Show]]", has co-starred in at least one ''[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]'' movie, sung several hit singles such as "[[Everybody Knows It]]", "[[Puppet Jam: Bad Jokes|Bad Jokes]]" and other jams with [[They Might Be Giants]], revealed that he is considering a career in [[crying|male modeling]], and also guest starred in an episode of [[Caleb Rentpayer]] (in which he shot Caleb). He enjoys running, breaking into Strong Bad's house, singing, and finding the perfect [[Decemberween]] present. He also seems to really like [[bread]], as seen in [[origins]] and [[disconnected]]. Other favored foods are [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows|marshmallows]], [[Bronco Trolleys]], [[melonade]], and supposedly [[Wikipedia:Hot Pockets|Hot Pockets]], according to the email [[dullard]]. His most prized possession is his propeller-cap and its [[Spin My Buzzer|"buzzer"]]. He might be a fan of the [[Wikipedia:NHL|NHL]]'s [[Wikipedia:Boston Bruins|Boston Bruins]], as he is seen wearing a Bruins shirt in [[Superbowl Dealie]].

He, [[Coach Z]], and [[Bubs]] appear to be the current law enforcement in [[Free Country, USA]], as seen in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] and [[road trip]] (In the latter, Strong Bad refers to Homestar as "Officer Cheese-for-butt," which suggests that Homestar may be some sort of officer.) The King of Town calls upon his and Pom Pom's assistance in [[The King of Town DVD]], suggesting higher authority and/or credibility. However, he is also seen as a thief in [[candy product]], stealing a pair of half-eaten "choco-pants".

== Character Video Transcript ==
''{'''Page Title:''' Homerun Hitter!}''
''{'''Place:''' [[The Field]]}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hello. Greetings, one and everyone. Welcome to me.... Homestar!... Runner!... Homestar Runner. Um... what else? I pretty much run the show around here. I date the only girl, and have the only propeller cap. ''{propeller cap twirls}'' And can run, and jump, and kick the fastest, highest and like nobody's business. If I had to pick one word to describe myself, it would probably be... Fluffy Puff Marshmallows. Or Homestar. Either one, really. They both fit.

''{Strong Bad sticks his arm into the scene.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{says one of the following lines, picked randomly}''
*Don't forget "doofus"!
*Don't forget "moron"!
*Don't forget um... "[[Wikipedia:Lionel Richie|Lionel Richie]]"!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, that too. That's another good one. In closing, I look good in red. Check it out. ''{turns around, sings while shaking his rear}'' Buttdance, buttda-a-ance!

===Fun Facts===
*Homestar shows off his [[Buttdance|butt dance]] again multiple times.
*Homestar could only hold his breath for about 3 seconds in [[Halloween Fairstival]], but in the older [[Yearbook Character Page]], he could hold his breath for about 11 seconds.
*Homestar also appears to have a nervous twitch, which would be revealed in later cartoons, as his head repeatedly snaps back and forth while talking.

== Homestar's Eyes ==
[[Image:Straighton.png|thumb|Cartoon straight-on]]
[[Image:TMBG_Homestar_closeup_20040925.jpg|thumb|right|Puppet Stuff straight-on]]
Homestar's eyes are quite strange.
*Sometimes they seem to move around his head. Most of the time they're like a flounder's eyes, but they switch sides of his face whenever he turns. In the [[Old Intro 2]], you can sort of see Homestar's eyes moving as the camera circles around him. Also, in [[Theme Song Video]], the currently absent toon [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], the old version of [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD|In Search of the Yello Dello]], the [[Homestar Runner and Strong Bad Screensaver|Homestar Screensaver]], and the [[Eggs_%28toon%29|Eggs toon]], you can see his face from the front, which further lends credence to this theory.
**It is possible that Homestar's eyes are in fact on the front of his head, but his generally accepted stature always has him facing slightly to the side. Because he is a cartoon character, the three-dimensional shape of his head and face are not shown, so the viewer is left to infer the eyes' correct positions based on which direction Homestar appears to be facing. (Note that an explicit "front view" of Homestar Runner has not been seen since Old Intro 2.)

*His puppet and his two figurines, on the other hand, have eyes stuck on one side of his head. Occasionally you can get a peek at the other side of Puppet Homestar's face.
**[[The Brothers Chaps]] actually made the eyes out of felt, so that they can be switched if necessary.

*Homestar's eyes almost always blink at regular intervals (once every approximately 3.9 seconds), even when the cartoon is paused or has stopped, and in some special cases such as where he appears on a magazine cover (as seen in the Email [[modeling]]). This is explained by the fact that his eyes are animated as a Flash movie clip, which generally animates continuously.

==Homestar Runner's Hat==
:''Main article: [[Homestar Runner's Hat]]''
[[Image:Homestarhat.png|thumb|It's my buzzer!]]
Homestar Runner usually wears a blue and red propeller cap, commonly called a beanie. He calls the propeller a "buzzer." In an interview with [[Wonkavision Magazine Interview|Wonkavision Magazine]], he claimed that he was born with his hat on. He is occasionally seen without it. He had lost his hat in [[Where My Hat is At?]] and apparently [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] as well. He did not wear it in [[The King of Town DVD]] for unknown reasons. In the email [[super powers]], Strong Bad managed to make the hat pop off of Homestar's head. In the email [[car]], Homestar had his hat "tricked out" with features such as hydraulics and underglow neon. He also claimed that if Strong Bad [[Spin My Buzzer|spun his "buzzer"]], it would play the theme from ''[[Wikipedia:Night Court|Night Court]]'', but it was obvious Homestar hummed it himself. Homestar dressed as himself in [[TrogdorCon '97]], and wore two hats as a result.

== Homestar's Shirt ==

[[Image:Homestar's Legs and shirt in the middle.PNG|50px|thumb|In the middle]]
[[Image:Onetwo_hrfoot.PNG|50px|thumb|left|The bottom of his feet]]

Homestar's shirt seems to most resemble a red skirt with a white star on it. [[Strong Bad]] stole the star in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] and used it to coax Homestar and [[Pom Pom]] into wrestling [[Strong Mad]] and himself. Despite the brothers' loss to Homestar and Pom Pom, Strong Bad tore up the star, and only by kicking Strong Bad and taking one of the stars floating around his head was Homestar able to return his shirt to its original glory. The only other time Homestar's star has been removed was in [[different town]], in which Strong Bad imagined Homestar angrily tearing the star off his shirt and stamping on it when he "called it quits". Clearly, the star is a mark of pride to Homestar Runner.

In the original script for [[flashback]], Strong Bad wore a similar shirt until Marzipan gave one to Homestar (to replace his Duckie Shirt). After this point, Strong Bad would have ripped off his shirt, explaining why he never wore one to this day.

A real-life version of the shirt is available for purchase in the [[Store]].

Other than his propeller cap, Homestar's shirt appears to be his only piece of clothing, as his questionable [[Homestar Runner's Pants|pants]] are a mystery. In [[long pants]], Strong Bad claims that Homestar doesn't have shoes, but has blue soles glued to the bottom of his feet. He wore a gray version of his shirt in [[impression]] while doing a bad imitation of [[Strong Sad]].

Note that the shirt is also straight compared to the eyes on the unfinished toon, [[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]].

==Homestar & Marzipan==

[[Image:marzipan.png|thumb|Homestar's favorite hippie.]]

:''Main article: [[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship]]''
Homestar's relationship with Marzipan seems tenuous at best, and it has appeared to deteriorate over time. Although Homestar frequently (and usually inadvertently) insults Marzipan, and she claims to have broken up with him several times, the two still seem to stick together. It is unclear how their relationship started, but the fact that their relationship is never truly broken suggests that they really do love each other.

Homestar appears to greatly value their relationship; on the ''rare'' occasion that he realizes that their relationship is in jeopardy, he will spring into a desperate ploy to patch things up. He also seems to miss and need Marzipan's badgering every once in a while. When she was out of town in [[Happy Fireworks|July of 2005]], he carried around a [[Cardboard Marzipan|cardboard cutout]] version of her and provided a voice for it. The cardboard version still made similar comments about violence and Homestar's poor grammar that the actual Marzipan would have, providing Homestar with the presumably cathartic opportunity to say "Shut up, Marzipan." Even then, Homestar's relationship with the "Cardboard Marzi" appeared to be tenuous, as he voiced her flirting with other men. (This could be due to lasting paranoia and suspicion following a series of [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 3.0|answering machine messages]] in which both Bubs and Coach Z tried to ask her out on a date.) Cardboard Marzipan returned in [[No Hands on Deck|August of 2006]], where she was slightly more positive with Homestar, and said she was proud of his unusually constructed deck.

In [[Date Nite]], Marzipan went out with The Cheat, much to Homestar's dismay. Though the date went well, Marzipan did not stay with The Cheat. She later went out with Bubs, to Coach Z's dismay.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Step 1: You check an email down! Step 2: You tell some kid he's a dork!

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

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

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

''{clears screen}''

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

''{Cut to a blue background. Jazzy music plays. Yellow letters saying "Embarassing Educational Films" fly into frame. Afterwards the word "presents" appears below them and the "E", "E", and "F" in the title light up. Then we cut to another blue background with yellow letters that say "LESSON 1: SAY 'HI' TO HYGIENE"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meet John...

''{The Text "john" appears and Homestar Runner as John pops up looking all gross looking}''

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

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER AS JOHN:''' I'm a latchkey champion!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meet Gene...

''{The text "gene" appears. Strong Bad as Gene pops up}''

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

''{Shows Gene in a lighthouse with the lighthouse shining. The lighthouse grows smaller and enters a stink cloud made by John}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —shining through the stink cloud generated by John.

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

'''STRONG BAD AS GENE:''' TGIG y'all. Thank God I'm Gene.

''{Cuts to Gene standing or floating next to Coach Z, Pom-Pom, Bubs and Strong Mad, all having the same hair as Gene}''

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

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

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

''{Shows John sitting in a desk surrounded by two empty desks}''

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

''{Cuts to John in a light brown box and Gene in a light blue box}''

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

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

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

''{"HYGIENE" appears. Cuts to a closeup of Gene}''

'''GENE:''' Hi, gals.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hygiene—

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

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

''{Cuts to a closeup of John's chest and his star is bent}''

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

''{A chocolate milk with a thermometer in its mouth and squinted eyes pops up}''

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

''{John blows his nose on his star. He puts it back on. It has boogers on it and slides off. Cuts to Gene with two bags next to him}''

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

''{A feminine hand with a ring emerges from the left}''

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

''{Hands Gene the keys. Cuts to a bathroom and John walks in}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Every morning, John forgets to wash his stupid—

''{Cuts to more of a closeup of John's face. It gets closer and closer and closer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —dumb, stinking, fat, smelly, stupid, du—

''{Cuts to a closeup of Gene's face}''

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

''{Gene puts on two electricity generating wires and shows a light bulb on a pad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —powers a small light bulb.

''{The light bulb makes a buzzer noise and lights up. Cuts to a closeup of John's face}''

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

''{John opens his mouth, which has a spider web in it. Stink lines come out of it. Some liquid drips from his mouth}''

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

''{John burps and a moth flies out of it}''

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

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

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

''{A Sign pops up showing a smile, two trees and two mountains}''

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

''{Gene spits and it forms into a bottle that says "El Gene's Spit" over South America}''

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

''{Cuts to John's room. John is sitting on his bed. There is food scattered all around the room}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' John leaves food out all over his room.

''{Scrolls around the room. Cuts back to the middle}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And a family of squatters have taken up residence in a nearby laundry cave.

''{Shows The Sad Kids standing in front a pile of laundry carved into a cave. Cuts to Gene's room with a pennant saying "Go Sport" and a wardrobe}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene's Room has a sixteen car pile-up of race car beds.

''{Shows sixteen race car beds stacked on each other. 5 maids and 5 special effects artists appear on top of the pile of race car beds}''

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

''{The pile of race car beds catch on fire}''

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

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

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

''{Cuts to John dropping the tube and two jars}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nothing at this point. By fifth grade the damage is already done.

''{Shows a pie chart that shows "Your Stink" being the biggest, "Your Stonk" after that, followed by "Hot Mom", "Video Games", and "Cool Headband"}''

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

''{Cuts back to John}''

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

''{John transforms into a more typical-looking Homestar, with a small beard and a college shirt}''

'''JOHN:''' Hooray.

''{Cuts to Gene}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene, on the other hand, better keep up the status quo. ''{a hand starts poking him} ''If he slips up the slightest bit, and gets lice ''{shows his hair with lice jumping up and down}'', or has an ''accident'' at school, those fifth graders will just descend on him like a ravenous pack of hygiene wolves. And tear him to shreds.

'''GENE:''' Hooray...?

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

''{Cuts back to the blue background. Jazzy music plays again. Yellow letters saying "Embarassing Educational Films" fly into frame afterwards the word "presents" appears below them and the "E", "E", and "F" in the title light up.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Step 1: You check an email down! Step 2: You tell some kid he's a dork!

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

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

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

''{clears screen}''

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

''{Cut to a blue background. Jazzy music plays. Yellow letters saying "Embarassing Educational Films" fly into frame. Afterwards the word "presents" appears below them and the "E", "E", and "F" in the title light up. Then we cut to another blue background with yellow letters that say "LESSON 1: SAY 'HI' TO HYGIENE"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meet John...

''{The Text "john" appears and Homestar Runner as John pops up looking all gross looking}''

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

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER AS JOHN:''' I'm a latchkey champion!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meet Gene...

''{The text "gene" appears. Strong Bad as Gene pops up}''

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

''{Shows Gene in a lighthouse with the lighthouse shining. The lighthouse grows smaller and enters a stink cloud made by John}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —shining through the stink cloud generated by John.

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

'''STRONG BAD AS GENE:''' TGIG y'all. Thank God I'm Gene.

''{Cuts to Gene standing or floating next to Coach Z, Pom-Pom, Bubs and Strong Mad, all having the same hair as Gene}''

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

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

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

''{Shows John sitting in a desk surrounded by two empty desks}''

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

''{Cuts to John in a light brown box and Gene in a light blue box}''

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

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

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

''{"HYGIENE" appears. Cuts to a closeup of Gene}''

'''GENE:''' Hi, gals.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hygiene—

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

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

''{Cuts to a closeup of John's chest and his star is bent}''

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

''{A chocolate milk with a thermometer in its mouth and squinted eyes pops up}''

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

''{John blows his nose on his star. He puts it back on. It has boogers on it and slides off. Cuts to Gene with two bags next to him}''

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

''{A feminine hand with a ring emerges from the left}''

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

''{Hands Gene the keys. Cuts to a bathroom and John walks in}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Every morning, John forgets to wash his stupid—

''{Cuts to more of a closeup of John's face. It gets closer and closer and closer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —dumb, stinking, fat, smelly, stupid, du—

''{Cuts to a closeup of Gene's face}''

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

''{Gene puts on two electricity generating wires and shows a light bulb on a pad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —powers a small light bulb.

''{The light bulb makes a buzzer noise and lights up. Cuts to a closeup of John's face}''

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

''{John opens his mouth, which has a spider web in it. Stink lines come out of it. Some liquid drips from his mouth}''

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

''{John burps and a moth flies out of it}''

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

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

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

''{A Sign pops up showing a smile, two trees and two mountains}''

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

''{Gene spits and it forms into a bottle that says "El Gene's Spit" over South America}''

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

''{Cuts to John's room. John is sitting on his bed. There is food scattered all around the room}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' John leaves food out all over his room.

''{Scrolls around the room. Cuts back to the middle}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And a family of squatters have taken up residence in a nearby laundry cave.

''{Shows The Sad Kids standing in front a pile of laundry carved into a cave. Cuts to Gene's room with a pennant saying "Go Sport" and a wardrobe}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene's Room has a sixteen car pile-up of race car beds.

''{Shows sixteen race car beds stacked on each other. 5 maids and 5 special effects artists appear on top of the pile of race car beds}''

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

''{The pile of race car beds catch on fire}''

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

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

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

''{Cuts to John dropping the tube and two jars}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nothing at this point. By fifth grade the damage is already done.

''{Shows a pie chart that shows "Your Stink" being the biggest, "Your Stonk" after that, followed by "Hot Mom", "Video Games", and "Cool Headband"}''

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

''{Cuts back to John}''

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

''{John transforms into a more typical-looking Homestar, with a small beard and a college shirt}''

'''JOHN:''' Hooray.

''{Cuts to Gene}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene, on the other hand, better keep up the status quo. ''{a hand starts poking him} ''If he slips up the slightest bit, and gets lice ''{shows his hair with lice jumping up and down}'', or has an ''accident'' at school, those fifth graders will just descend on him like a ravenous pack of hygiene wolves. And tear him to shreds.

'''GENE:''' Hooray...?

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

''{Cuts back to the blue background. Jazzy music plays again. Yellow letters saying "Embarassing Educational Films" fly into frame afterwards the word "presents" appears below them and the "E", "E", and "F" in the title light up. Then we cut to another blue background with yellow letters that say "LESSON 2: PANTS PROBLEMS". Cuts back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Okay John, all done. I hope your friends like my video.

Where's an Egg?

2007-07-16T19:50:48Z

FlapperPrower: /* Inside References */

{{vgamenav|wheresanegg|50k Racewalker|Duck Guardian One}}

[[Image:wheresanegg.PNG|thumb|A renegade cop with nothing to lose and an egg on his mind.]]
[[Image:Where'sAnEggboxart.png‎|thumb|From [[Foreign Lands]]]]
''"In this hard-bolied  adventure game, you must help the Boise police force find a missing egg. Not in Mancuso's garage? Try Brodermaker's gymbag. Everyone's a suspect when 'Where's an Egg?' is the game that you are playing. And that's this game!!"'' -[[Videlectrix]]

'''Where's an Egg?''' is a game by [[Videlectrix]].

'''Date:''' July 16, 2007

'''Page Title:''' Where's an Egg?

==Instructions==

The object of the game is to find the egg that one of the suspects is hiding. The task is a variation on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knights_and_Knaves Knights and Knaves] puzzle, where suspects either always lie or always tell the truth. After you think you know who or where the egg is, you go to that location and shoot the suspect, who will give up the egg if you have guessed correctly.

After clicking on the title screen, you are presented with several locations in a city. Clicking on the locations will review a person with an item. When you get a new item, it will appear in the bottom of the screen.

== Endings ==
If you run out of time or shoot three characters who do not have the egg, the game ends. The character who did have the egg is shown running with it through the area they were in, and the main character is shown in Siberia wearing prison clothes and a ball-and-chain. He quickly turns into a skeleton.

If you successfully shoot the character who has the egg, a policeman awards you with a badge in front of the police station. The screen pans up to the sky, where fireworks shoot off. If the game was completed with enough time left on the clock, different spaceships fly through the sky:
*901-940 seconds left — one spaceship
*941-970 seconds left — two spaceships
*971 or more seconds left — three spaceships, the last of which is exited by a waving cosmonaut

== Fun Facts ==

===Trivia===
*This game was released more than two and a half years after its description was featured on the Videlectrix website. The [[main page message]] announcing its release read: '''new' videlectrix game!''
*Although the game appears to be [[wikipedia:Russian language|Russian]], most of the dialogs are grammatically incorrect or have bad translations. For example, the Russian title on the game box is meaningless, but is similar to the correct translation of Where's an Egg?, Где яичко? (Ghedeie Yaichekao?).

===Remarks===
*A [[Videlectrix:eggction.html|page of the manual]] was also made available at the same time as the game was released.
*One of the suspects bears a resemblance to the title character of [[Kid Speedy]].

===Inside References===
*This is another mention of [[eggs]].
*The cop wields a [[gun]].
*All of the characters [[Lack of Visible Arms|lack visible arms]], except for the main character, who reveals an arm only when he shoots someone, and the policeman in the good ending, who reveals an arm only when he awards a badge to the main character.
*[[Some Type of Online Auction]] was previously used to sell a half-eaten breakfast burrito in [[english paper]].
*One of the characters resembles [[Kid Speedy]]
*There's a floppy disk that reads "Where's an Egg?" in the [[strongbad email.exe Disc Five]] menu.

===Real-World References===
*This game looks similar to the point-and-click computer game "[[Wikipedia:Jack Orlando|Jack Orlando: A Cinematic Adventure]]", in which a Private Investigator who has seen better days needs to clear his name when he is on the spot for murder.
*[[Wikipedia:Boise, Idaho|Boise]] is the capital city of the US state [[Wikipedia:Idaho|Idaho]].
*Brodermaker is a reference to video game company [[Wikipedia:Brøderbund|Brøderbund]], makers of the [[Wikipedia:Carmen Sandiego|Carmen Sandiego]] games.
*This game is also very similar, in some aspects, to the early [[Wikipedia:Carmen Sandiego|Carmen Sandiego]] games.

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing loudly in [[Wikipedia:Falsetto|falsetto]]}'' Why do I check emails the way I do? I don't know. ''{begins reading}''
<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Ladies...</div>
Dear Strongest of the Bads,<br>
We are two desperate losers who could never get any<br>
ladies. Since you're such a lady expert, could you give us<br>
any tips on lady...ing.<br>
Your 2nd and 3rd best Friends Ever,<br>
Lorenzo and Fillbert
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Strongest of the Bads" very quickly and rhythmically. After reading "could never get any ladies", he says "Oooh, something I would not openly admit." He reads "lady...ing." as "lady?(pause)ing?"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 2nd and 3rd best friends?? What about Fabrosi? What'd you two do to  Fabrosi? Eh, whatever. That guy's probably out lady-ing with that fake mustache he always wears. It's only gonna attract gold-diggers. ''{clears screen}'' Desperate losers or not, you guys should remember that I addressed this issue, like, 5 or 6 years ago. In fact, I think it mighta been the first email I ever checked. The Cheat, roll that beautiful email footage!

''{Cut to the computer desk. The Cheat walks in holding a Laserdisc.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, a Laserdisc. ''{music starts and The Cheat spins the disc as Strong Bad sings}'' The Cheat's playin' something on a Laserdisc. Everything is better on Laserdisc. Whatever happened to the Laserdisc? Laserdisc! ''{The Cheat and Strong Bad touch hands as the music stops.}''

''{The Cheat walks to the left. Cut to the old loading screen from [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], then to the Arena from the same toon. Throughout this section of the email, the animation and voices are in the same style as the old toon. Cut to a close-up on the Announcer.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And in the red corner, hailing from Parts Unknown, ''{holds microphone closer}'' the Ramblin' Wreck of Email Check, Strong Bad!

''{Cut to the corner of the wrestling ring, which contains a table with the Tandy on it. Strong Bad pops out from a trapdoor and lands with a loud thud.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Greetings all you morones ''{"morons" with Strong Bad's old, affected Mexican accent}''. Holy crap! Welcome to the Strong Bad show, where I check a real email from one of you ''{leans in toward the camera}'' ''stupid'' idiots.

''{The crowd boos. Strong Bad produces an anvil and hurls it at them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, you a-shut up!

''{The anvil lands with a crash. Someone in the crowd says "Ow!" Strong Bad laughs at him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now let's a-holy crap get to business!

''{Strong Bad walks over to the Tandy and brings up the email somehow. He reads:}''

<blockquote class="tandy email" style="background-image:none">Dear Strong Bad,<br />
I am a desperate loser. Can you<br />
give me any tips on lady-ing?<br />
Your 1st best Friend ever,<br />
Fabrosi</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' But of course. When it comes to the ladies, I've got no... competition! ''{He jumps up and shakes as he says it.}'' ''{very quietly}'' Holy crap.

''{Cut to a close-up}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' First, Fabrosi, you've got to look as much as possible like the Strong Bad. ''{He points to himself with both hands.}'' Take off your shirt, ''{produces some sandpaper}'' sand off your nipples, ''{rubs it on his chest; the camera pans down to his feet}'' and wear tight pants that accentuate all your suppleties. ''{He swivels his body around once.}'' But sometimes ''{swivels it again}'' that's not enough, and you have to douse yourself in the finest ''{produces a can of gasoline}'' Mongolian aftershave lotion.

''{He douses himself as the crowd cheers "Yay!" Strong Bad walks off and over to Homestar Runner (sans cap) and Marzipan. Gasoline fumes emanate above Strong Bad's head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, Marzipan. Do you want a-my bod! ''{He jumps up and shakes as he says it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, Strong Bad, why do you smell like a garage?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Me too!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why, you... A-take a-this!

''{He leaps at Homestar, somersaulting over and over with a helicopter-like noise. He lands right on Homestar's head. There is a huge explosion of stars as Homestar is knocked to the mat, stars spinning above his eyes.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh!

''{Cut to a close-up of Strong Bad on top of the ropes. He is no longer emanating gasoline fumes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The ladies also can't resist... ''{All of the sudden his chest is very defined; his biceps bulge up.}'' ...muscular wrestling moves... ''{The camera pulls back.}'' ...off the top rope!

''{Strong Bad leaps from the top rope and crashes right on Homestar, who is still down. There is another starry explosion.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ow!

''{Cut to Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ooh, that's resistable.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And if that doesn't work, bring out your cute baby brother ''{Strong Sad walks up but falls through the ground when a trapdoor appears}'' or holy-crap-adorable pet ''{The Cheat walks in from the right}''.

''{The Cheat squeaks softly and bats his bright blue eyes.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{frowning}'' Now it smells like a garage with a litter box in it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, I told you to wear finest Mongolian aftershave lotion!

''{The Cheat hums and bats his eyes some more. Strong Bad kicks him out of the ring.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' If all else fails...

''{Cut to a table set up in the ring, complete with a tablecloth, two candles, and a serving platter. The Cheat, humming, flies overhead and crashes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...employ the secret weapon: ''{The lid lifts off the serving platter to reveal two burritos and a tin of Mungo's Caviar.}'' A candlelit dinner with caviar burritos and finest cigars!

''{Strong Bad, who has begun emanating gasoline fumes again, holds a cigar up to one of the candles to light it. Naturally, it explodes}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aaahhh!

''{Strong Bad's head begins to crack and then shatters, leaving just his mouth.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You see, Strong Bad? What the luscious ladies really want is a guy that still has a face and head.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{leaning toward Homestar}'' Yeah, me too!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still mostly headless}'' Holy crap.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm a star!

''{He leaps into a freeze frame. The background turns orange and the words "The End" appear in the corner as the old theme music plays. Mike Chapman can be heard in the background, saying "ding ding ding ding ding da ding ding ding" in time with the theme music. Cut back to Strong Bad, now asleep and snoring at the Lappy. He wakes up with a start.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Aught? What? Ooot? Oh, yeah. Boy, those old cartoons still pack a wallop. Uh, so yeah, Danny. Now's a great time to plant cucumbers. Stocks are up, stipes are down. And old Strong Bad's got a date with a bowl of creme brulee ice creme. Cream.

''{He gets up. After a couple of seconds, the camera pans right to reveal him still at the table, snoring away. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on the word "And" to see Homestar following Strong Bad's advice... sort of.
*:''{Homestar and Marzipan are standing in The Field. Homestar appears to be wearing a very wide fake mustache}''
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So, ladytype, I'm wearin' tight pants ''{shakes a leg}'' so as to accentuate all my bubbleties!
*:'''MARZIPAN:''' Have I broken up with you yet?
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, a couple times.
*Click on the "Genghis Khan" disk in the [[Floppy Disk Container]] to see a bottle of "[[Wikipedia:Genghis Khan|Genghis Khan]]" lotion for women ("Smell like a Warlord!").
*Click on Strong Bad's head to see a brief dream of him somersaulting over a canyon.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*A [[Wikipedia:Stipe|stipe]] is a supporting stalk or stem-like structure, especially the stalk of a pistil, the petiole of a fern frond, or the stalk that supports the cap of a mushroom.
*A "[http://www.dict.org/bin/Dict?Form=Dict2&Database=*&Query=gold+digger gold digger]" is a person who marries/dates for profit.

=== Trivia ===
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#genghis khan|genghis khan]]".
*This is the first time we see the [[Floppy Disk Container]] close up.
*The background riffs in the Laserdisc song are two of the "rock" bass demos on the [[Casio Keyboards|Casio MT-100 keyboard]].

===Remarks===
*The "early version" Homestar in this email has a lower voice than his Marshmallow's Last Stand counterpart, sounding slightly more like his modern self. Strong Bad's voice is also slightly more relaxed and sounds more like his modern counterpart.
*Strong Bad does a flip jump like Stinkoman in [[Stinkoman 20X6]].
*When Strong Bad does his flips, his boots are red, not black.
*The sound that The Cheat makes as he flies over the table is similar to the sound he makes in [[Main Page 20]] when he flies out of a pile of grapes.
*Even though Strong Bad says he would not ''openly'' admit that he could never get [[Strong Bad's Ladies|ladies]], he did ''accidentally'' say he doesn't know anything about the ladies at the end of [[lures & jigs]].
*Strong Bad omits four [[Wikipedia:Diacritic|diacritical marks]] in the words "creme brulee" and in "ice creme" Instead, they should be spelled "crème brûlée" and "ice crème", respectively.
*Although Strong Bad says "[[Crap|Holy crap]]" a lot in the flashback, he never actually used this phrase in Marshmallow's Last Stand. In fact, the catch phrase wasn't used until [[The Reddest Radish]], which was in an entirely different style and time period.
*Adorable The Cheat has similar blue eyes to [[Cheatball]]'s.
*In the email [[2 years]], Strong Bad claims that his main man "is, and has been since [[1987]], Van Mundegaarde", making no mention of Fabrosi.
*The wrestling match ends when Strong Bad explodes. Being "blown up" is pro-wrestling jargon that describes a wrestler who is tired and performing sluggishly.

===Goofs===
*In the "dream" Easter egg, Strong Bad starts outside the thought balloon.
*While Strong Bad is sleeping at the end of the email (after he ducks out for the creme brulee ice creme), the Lappy's screen doesn't give the distortion effect it usually does when you click on it.
*In the flashback, when Strong Bad enters the ring through the floor, his left hand goes through the floor because the hole is too narrow.
*During the entire email, the [[No Loafing Sign|"No Loafing" sign]] is missing.
*During the flashback Strong Bad starts with no belly button, but when he is on the top rope he has one. After he comes down, and for the rest of the flashback the belly button is gone

=== Glitches ===
*If you view the Homestar and Marzipan Easter egg while the Strong Bad canyon dream Easter egg is playing, the sounds from the two will overlap each other.

===Inside References===
*The "really old email" is a parody of the wrestling scene in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], and is a repetition of a gag from [[personal favorites]].
*The [[HR:loading.swf|Loading...]] shot was also used in older cartoons.
*During the wrestling scene, Strong Bad pronounces "loser" and "competition" like on the [[Homestar Talker|Strong Bad talker]].
*Strong Bad calls Lorenzo (or Fillbert) [[Dan]]ny.
*This is another instance of Strong Bad [[kicking The Cheat]].
*The "Booooo!" [[sound effects]] come from [[The Reddest Radish]].
*The mustachioed Homestar in the Easter egg is from [[Senorial Day#Easter_Eggs|Senorial Day]].
*When Homestar shakes his leg in the Easter egg, it is another reference to [[Homestar Runner's Pants]].


===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Laserdisc|Laserdisc]] was the first commercial optical-disc storage medium, and the precursor to modern DVDs.
*"Roll that beautiful email footage" is a reference to the [http://www.bushbeans.com/jayduke/ads.jsp Bush's Baked Beans commercials'] "Roll that beautiful bean footage."
*"Ramblin' Wreck of Email Check" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Georgia Institute of Technology|Georgia Tech]]. The first line of [[Wikipedia:Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech|their fight song]] declares, "I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech..." Georgia Tech is in [[Wikipedia:Atlanta, Georgia|Atlanta]], also home to [[The Brothers Chaps]].
* [[Wikipedia:Genghis_khan|Genghis Khan]] was a [[Wikipedia:Mongolia|Mongolian]] warlord in the 13th century, which is where the "Mongolian aftershave lotion" and "Smell like a Warlord" come from.

[[Image:Zombie Strong Bad.png|thumb|"You keep your chappy thong to yourself, mister!"]]
'''Zombie Strong Bad''' is a variation of [[Strong Bad]] that was preserved in a jar filled with the salty tears of all the heartbroken private school girls in the email [[your funeral]]. The zombie broke out of the jar during Strong Bad's funeral, right before [[Strong Sad]] started doing his "interpretive dance based on his brother's life". It was because of Strong Sad's dance that made Zombie Strong Bad break free of his jar. His voice is distorted, and his eye's are gray and faint. As predicted by Strong Bad, in the year 2046, his zombie will reanimate.

'''Page Title:''' A Very Tremendous Chimendez Thanksgiving

==Transcript==
''{the title appears — ''"LET US GIVE TANKS!!" written by A. Chimendez'' — over a shot of the Cheat Commando base in red, orange, yellow, and brown hills in the background and falling leaves. Light, percussive music plays.}''

''{Gunhaver and Silent Rip appear in front of the control panel and video screen, watching shaky video of three Cheat Commandos being assaulted by blue lasers and explosions on a smoky, war-torn landscape.}''

'''CHEAT COMMANDO:''' We're taking heavy losses, sir. They've got us pinned down! We really need—

''{The video image is interrupted by a siren and a yellow and orange screen with the text, "Thanksgiving Break Alert"}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' All right! Thanksgiving break!

''{The screen fades through static back to the Cheat Commandos}''

'''CHEAT COMMANDO:''' But sir! We could really use some—

''{Gunhaver turns off the monitor and turns to Silent Rip}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' I ''love'' Thanksgiving break!

''{The camera focuses on Silent Rip}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Uh, shouldn't we go help him?

''{The camera zooms out to include Gunhaver, along with Reinforcements and Fightgar}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Naw, he's just one of those green helmets. We got like fifty of them. So, what's everybody doing for the holiday?

''{The camera shifts to Reynold}''

'''REYNOLD:''' I'm going to stay at my parents' house! If they haven't rented out my room... again... to my brother.

''{Gunhaver salutes the Cheat Commandos as they leave}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Well, have a good time, soldiers. I'll just be here in case Blue Laser tries to blow up over-the-river-and-through-the-woods... so that no one to grandmother's house... can go.

''{The scene shifts to a small cottage in the autumn woods with a gravel path and smoke rising out of the stone chimney. Transition music plays}''

''{Cut to the inside of the cottage. A Blue Laser minion is preparing a turkey in the kitchen. Blue Laser Commander enters, brandishing a meat fork.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' I thought I told you to fiendishly dice the evil onions!

'''BLUE LASER MINION 1:''' No sir.

''{The camera pans to a second Blue Laser Minion chopping onions with fiendish faces drawn on them on the counter.}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION 2:''' That was me, sir.

''{Camera pans back to Blue Laser Commander}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' I can never tell you two apart! ''{hurls the meat fork into the offscreen second minion's eye}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION 2:''' Ow.

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' There! Now you're the one with the fork stuck in your eye!

''{The door crashes open and the Fightgar, Firebert, and Silent Rip enter, armed with guns.}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Sorry Blue Laser — the only thanks ''you'll'' be giving is getting shot by us with our bullet-shooting guns!

''{Blue Laser Commander approaches the Cheat Commandos}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' What?!

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Aw, just kiddin'. ''{smiles, along with Firebert}'' Thanks for havin' us over!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' ''{laughs and smiles}'' You really had me going for a second there. Get in here, you guys!

''{Fightgar, Firebert, and Silent Rip enter, followed by Ripberger}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Ripberger, you made it! ''{Ripberger stops at the door}'' I thought you were only available for a limited time with three proofs of purchase!

'''RIPBERGER:''' I brought some ambrosia salad! ''{displays the salad}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Uh! Where's Gunhaver?!

''{The camera pans to Fightgar and Silent Rip}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' ''{scratching his head}'' Uh, we kinda didn't give him your invitation. Gunhaver has a bit of a hard time cutting loose.

''{The scene cuts to Gunhaver in the Cheat Commandos base, saluting a flag labeled "The Flag" which is being blown by a fan.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Forty-seven! Forty-eight! Forty-nine! Fifty! C'mon Gunhaver, you maggot! Give me fifty more! One! Two! Three!

''{The scene cuts back to the cottage, with Blue Laser Commander and Fightgar at a table with plates, the turkey, and yams with marshmallows.}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Uh... I guess... Claude Monet, and um... Manchester United!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' That's good, that's good! Now what about you, Silent Rip?!

''{The camera pans over to Silent Rip.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' I'm thankful for this bountiful Blue Laser Thanksgiving action playset!

''{A "ding" noise is heard and the words "CHEAP AS FREE" appear in a cloud bubble in the corner of the scene}''

''{The camera cuts to Crackotage}''

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' I'm thankful for the gift of rhyme!!

''{The camera cuts to Ripberger}''

'''RIPBERGER:''' Ambrosia salad!

''{The camera cuts back to Crackotage}''

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' I'm also thankful for this lime! ''{holds up a lime}'' Hibbety-jeebity!

''{The camera cuts to Blue Laser Commander}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Plutonium at closeout prices!

''{The camera cuts to a Blue Laser minion}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION 1:''' I'm thankful I don't have a fork in my eye, sir.

''{The camera cuts back to Blue Laser Commander}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' My Nana's new hip!

''{The camera cuts to the Blue Laser minion with a fork stuck through his visor into his eye}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION 2:''' I'm... thankful for this fork in my eye.

'''{The scene cuts to Gunhaver, facing the camera in front of the control panel.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' So I exchanged it for something of lesser value, and they gave me the rest in store credit!

''{The camera comes behind Gunhaver's back to show him standing in front of the video monitor with the anonymous Cheat Commando onscreen.}''

'''CHEAT COMMANDO:''' That's great sir! A real value. But we could really use some air support.

'''GUNHAVER:''' Yeah, I should go too. Gotta check in on Blue Laser.

'''CHEAT COMMANDO:''' Please, NO—

''{Gunhaver brings up the Blue Laser cottage on the video monitor, showing Blue Laser Commander, Fightgar, Silent Rip, and a Blue Laser minion at the table with the turkey.}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Ambros-er-a salad... sayin' right, right, right, right...

'''GUNHAVER:''' Tight butts! Blue Laser has captured the Cheat Commandos and is forcing them to sit down to a delicious meal and pleasant conversation! Hang on, boys. Daddy Gunhavvy's on his way! ''{walks away from the monitor}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' But I'm ''not'' thankful for that guy over there with the camera!

''{The scene cuts to Reinforcements, who is using a camera and lights to record the Thanksgiving dinner.}''

'''REINFORCEMENTS:''' Hey, guys.

''{The camera focuses on Silent Rip and Blue Laser Commander}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Uh-oh. You know what ''that'' means.

''{The camera cuts to Fightgar.}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' It won't be long before...

''{Gunhaver comes out of the turkey pointing a handgun.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Gobble, gobble... you're in trobble!

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' ''{offscreen}'' Hey, that's not bad!

''{The camera cuts to Blue Laser Commander.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Gunhaver! You actually have a gun!

''{The camera cuts back to Gunhaver, with the silhouettes of two Cheat Commandos in the foreground}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Cheat Commandos, run! For cover! ''{camera zooms in}'' Blue Laser is clearly trying to have you all over for dinner!

''{The camera cuts to Silent Rip}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Uh, yeah! He invited you too! But we didn't tell you because we were afraid you'd do something like this!

''{The camera cuts back to Gunhaver.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' And I did! The Cheat Commandos win again!

''{The camera cuts to Blue Laser Commander.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Well, since you're here... ''{clasps his hands together}'' Play us a song, won't you Charles?

''{The camera pans past several Cheat Commandos, all murmuring in agreement}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' A—a song? No, I couldn't possibly... it's been so long, I...

''{The camera cuts back to Gunhaver, with a small, dirty Cheat Commando wearing a cap behind him.}''

'''OLIVER SMIDGEN:''' Won't you play us a song, Gun'aver?

'''GUNHAVER:''' All right, you talked me into it. One song!

''{Cut to Gunhaver sitting at a black upright piano with the Cheat Commandos and Blue Laser gathered around.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' This is one everybody knows, so give me a hand, boys. ''{begins playing the piano and singing}'' Buy all our playsets and...

'''CHEAT COMMANDOS AND BLUE LASER:''' Ooh!

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{singing}'' Buy all our playsets and...

''{Ripberger descends upside-down from the ceiling.}''

'''CHEAT COMMANDOS AND BLUE LASER:''' Ah!

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{singing}'' Buy all our playsets and...

'''EVERYONE:''' ''{singing}'' Toys!

''{The camera pans past Fightgar, Silent Rip, and the Blue Laser minion with the fork in his eye. The camera focuses on the piano keys, which Gunhaver is playing the Cheat Commandos theme song, and then cuts back to everyone in front of the piano}''

'''EVERYONE:''' Yeah!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' A holiday classic!

''{Smoke begins wafting through the top of the room.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Uh, what's that smell?

'''FIGHTGAR:''' How should I know? You're the one called Silent Rip!

'''GUNHAVER:''' That's all me. I stuck a nuclear device in the oven in case I didn't make it out of here alive! ''{several of the attendees open their mouths in surprise}''

''{The scene cuts to Reynold's room, with his brother playing video games. There are several speakers in the room; the ones in the foreground are shaking as they play music. The Blue Laser cottage can be seen outside the window with smoke rising from it.}''

'''MUSIC:''' No one understands me! No one understands me!

''{Reynold enters the room, covering his ears}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Will you turn that noise down?!

'''REYNOLD'S BROTHER:''' You're so lame.

'''MUSIC:''' No one understands me... but YOU!'''

''{The Blue Laser cottage explodes and the glass window of Reynold's room shatters}''

''{The screen shifts to a picture of Gunhaver coming out of the turkey, with the message, "Happy Thanksgiving! from those Cheat Commandos" and the "Buy all our playsets and toys" music.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The "Green Helmets" are minor, expendable characters added so "heroes" can die without losing any members of the main cast.

===Trivia===
*This is the first time Ripberger is heard speaking.
*This is the first Cheat Commandos cartoon to feature civilian characters besides [[Reynold]].
*The Blue Laser Commander exclaims, "Gunhaver! You actually have a gun!" Indeed, in spite of his name, this is the first time Gunhaver is actually seen holding a gun. However, his gun appeared in [[Shopping for Danger]], though Blue Laser Commander never saw it.
*The Blue Laser Commander's comment about Reinforcements' camera pretends to break the [[Fourth Wall Breaks|Fourth Wall]].

===Fixed Goofs===
[[Image:Cheat Commandos Lime No Decend.PNG|thumb|The floating lime]]
*When Crackotage's arm went down after showing the lime, the lime didn't descend with his arm. This was quickly fixed by removing the downwards arm movement.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Start your day, the sbemail way! And never get out of bed!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: stupidest</div>
Hey Strong Bad<br />
I was wondering what was the stupidest thing that Homestar<br/> ever did, said, or imagined???<br />
ur biggest fan<br />
Spanky elgrondo N.Y.
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Hey Strong Bad," in a bored tone and continues to read the rest of the email the same way. He draws out "ur" before biggest fan and pronounces "N.Y." as "Nuevo York."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, my good Spank, that is ''way'' too broad a subject and would take several days just to scratch the surface of the tip of that iceberg. Especially the imagined part. That one has its own spreadsheet even.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, we'll have to get much more specific if we're gonna cover any stupid Homestar ground in one email. So it's time you people learned all about ''{cut to a scene with a U.S. Capitol-like building with the top shaped like Homestar's head and a banner}'' The Four Branches of Stupid Things Homestar's Done.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{as the top of the building}'' Ooo. I'm a ''neglected'' official.

'''STRONG BAD:''' The first branch is in charge of keeping the public informed. ''{a dotted line is traced to a television set with Homestar's head on the screen. A caption appears under it that reads "The House of Doing Stupid Things on National Television"}'' It's the House of Doing Stupid Things on National Television!

''{Cut to Homestar Runner on the set of [[The Show]].}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now isn't that a tasty makeover, lady friends? ''{crowd full of ladies cheers}'' Huh? Huh?!

''{Cut to a closeup of Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' From Drab to Fab with nothing but Mustaaard! ''{Pictures of the King of Town appear on the left and right of the screen. The one on the right has him doused with mustard. Homestar holds up a mustard container with the word 'Musty' on it. Crowd cheers.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now my next guest says her man doesn't give respect when she calls collect. But he thinks she's just a drama mama. ''{cut to a shot of Marzipan looking very angry}'' So let's bring him out!

''{The crowd boos. Homestar turns towards a curtain, then a spotlight appears on Homestar and his clothes and appearance change instantly.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sulkily}'' Yeah, whatever, you know you all want some.

''{Someone throws a chair at Homestar and knocks him down. The crowd cheers gleefully.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right. Homestar secretly had ''himself'' on his own "You're a Bad Boyfriend" talk show.

''{Cut back to the list of "Stupid Things Homestar's Done." A dotted line is traced to a coffee mug with Homestar's face on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The next branch tracks the stupid things Homestar does on the job. Here comes The Bureau of Doing Stupid Things at the Office.

''{Cut to the Office with Strong Bad in his cubicle with a headset on, occasionally typing on his computer. Phones are ringing in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{talking into headset;looking bored}'' No ma'am, this would be a password you gave to us. Yes sir, it could be the last four digits of your dog, or your mother's maiden credit card number...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Hey Strong Bro, keg party at the water cooler!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{turns his head offscreen towards Homestar}'' Not Now! I'm talking to Phone Tree Survivor Number Thirteen! ''{talking into headset}'' Yes lady, the whole password.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Stro Bro, free bagels at the water cooler!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks excited}'' I'm sorry ma'am, free bagels just happened.

''{Strong Bad leaps up from his desk and slides out of his cubicle towards a water cooler stuffed with Homestar inside.}''
[[Image:Sbemail_4branches.png|thumb|"Well, I was in Barbados, hanging a picture on the wall..."]]
'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww man! This isn't free bagels!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, but it is free-ing Homestar from the water cooler. That's pretty sweet.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{momentarily stutters}'' Just explain to me what you were ''trying'' to do when this happened.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I was in Barbados, hanging a picture on the wall.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, that tells me everything I need to know. How 'bout we try this?

''{Strong Bad walks over to the water cooler and presses down the button for the nozzle that has Homestar's leg sticking out of it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ow, ow, OW, STOP! Sweet genius that hurt! Oh well, just forget it. I'll just stay in here for the rest of my life. Just stack my mail on top of me would ya? ''{Strong Bad walks off as a phone rings.}'' Thanks S-bro! Man! Where should we go for lunch today? Chinese buffet?

''{Cut back to the list of "Stupid Things Homestar's Done."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know how in video games, if you get the super duper high score, eventually it flips back to zero? Well, sometimes Homestar does something so stupid, he flips back to smart.

''{A scoreboard appears, which approaches its high number limit and then resets at zero. Then it disappears as a dotted line is traced to a picture of Homestar with a graduation cap on. A caption appears under him that says "The joint Sub-Committee On So Stupid It's Smart-ities".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Awash with flavor!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, okay Homestar. Then what's two plus two?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, the force between any two charges is equal to the absolute value of the multiple of the charges divided by 4 pi times the vacuum permittivity times the distance squared between the two charges.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, no, no stupid! That's Coulomb's law.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, right, sorry! Two plus two? That's easy. Twenty-two.

''{Cut back to the list of "Stupid Things Homestar's Done."}''

''{Cut to the Field at night with Homestar inside The Jolly Dumple costume. A campfire is also inside it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Man, oh man, oh man! ''Man!'' Moving into this mascot costume was probably the coolest and least locking-myself-out-of-my-house-enest decision I ever made! ''{Homestar raises a stick with a juice box stuck on the end over the fire.}'' This juice box is gonna roast up good and plenty! Dark and lovely! Bed, Bath and Be-yond!

''{Cut to a wider shot revealing Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Homestar, what are you do'n?! That thing is made out of flame pro-tardant Polymascotfoamalate!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Polymascotfoamalate?! ''{his words echo}''

''{Cut to The Homestar Runner in the Old-Timey Field standing next to an alien. A spaceship has crashed into the factory in the background.}''

'''THE ALIEN:''' But Earthling, they don't have polymascotfoamalate on ''my'' planet. Eh-rumble.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's 'cause you're a communist fool, red!

''{Cut to Old-Timey Strong Bad with shaving cream on his face holding what appears to be baby powder in one hand and a cup full of shaving cream in the other.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So there you have it! Now it's up to you to make your own informed decisions about the stupidest things Homestar's done. Get involved, ''{a banner appears above Strong Bad}'' write a letter to your local Homestarman, ''{another banner appears}'' or throw a trash can through a plate glass window! ''{yet another banner appears}''

''{Strong Bad walks off screen and the camera pulls in on the top of the U.S. Capitol building shaped like Homestar's head.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*Homestar correctly states [[Wikipedia:Coulomb's law|Coulomb's law]], which determines the magnitude of the electrostatic force between two particles based on their charges <math>q_1</math> and <math>q_2</math> and the distance between them <math>r</math>:
<center><math>F=\frac1{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{|q_1q_2|}{r^2}</math></center>

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad's polo shirt has a 5.25 inch floppy disk crest.
*Homestar does not have any trouble breathing or speaking underwater.
*At the end of the Easter egg with the fireworks, you can hear a pop sound, showing the Brothers Chaps cut out the sound from earlier in the email.
*On the list of "The Four Branches of Stupid Things Homestar's Done", Homestar's face is based upon an [[Homestar Runner Evolution|earlier design]].

===Fixed Goofs===
*When the email was first posted, Strong Bad typed "in" instead of "any" when he says "No, we'll have to get much more specific if we're gonna cover any stupid Homestar ground," at the beginning of the email. This was later corrected.
*When the email was first posted, boudoir was misspelled as "Budoir". This was later corrected.

===Inside References===
*The [[Soapbox]] makes another apperance when Homestar stands on while he answers Strong Sad, and its label now reads "Fourteen times".
*Limozeen's animated debut was in [[best thing]].
*"MONGOLIAN BEEF WiG" is an example of [[Lowercase i's|lowercase i's]].
*Homestar makes the same "pa-too" sound when he spits out fireworks as he did spitting [[Teddy Grahams]] in [[couch patch]].
*The Jolly Dumple first appeared in [[mascot]].
*The electronic blipping sound that plays when Homestar recites Coulomb's Law is taken from the [[Random Toon]] button on the [[Main Pages]].

===Real-World References===
*"The Four Branches of Stupid Things Homestar's Done" are a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Separation of powers|three branches of the United States government]], and the shape of the governmental building is the [[Wikipedia:United States Capitol|United States Capitol]] building, often used as a symbol of the [[Wikipedia:Legislature|legislative branch]].
*In old arcade games, if you get a score higher than 999,999, it might flip back over to 0. This happens in such games as [[Wikipedia:Namco|Namco]]'s ''[[Wikipedia:Galaga|Galaga]]'' or ''[[Wikipedia:Pac-Man|Pac-Man]]''. Strong Bad mentions this when describing Homestar's Third Branch, "The Joint Sub-Committee on So-Stupid-It's-Smart-ities".
*Homestar's "You're a Bad Boyfriend Talk Show" and the throwing of the chair is directly linked to the ''[[Wikipedia:Geraldo Rivera show|Geraldo Rivera show]]'' from the '80s, where Geraldo suffered a broken nose, paving the way for talk shows like ''[[Wikipedia:The Jerry Springer Show|The Jerry Springer Show]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Maury (TV series)|Maury]]''.
*When Homestar is in the Dumple costume, he mentions the store [[Wikipedia:Bed Bath & Beyond|Bed Bath & Beyond]], which is a chain of domestic stores across the nation. He also mentions [[Wikipedia:Good & Plenty|Good & Plenty]], a famous licorice candy. Dark & Lovely is a brand of hair relaxer and other hair care products.
*Homestar saying "That's how I become a law!" is a reference to the School House Rock cartoon "[[Wikipedia:I'm Just a Bill|I'm Just a Bill]]", showing how a bill becomes a law in Washington.
*Strong Bad's recommendation to "throw a trash can through a plate glass window" is likely a reference to the climactic scene in Spike Lee's film ''[[Wikipedia:Do the Right Thing|Do the Right Thing]]''.
*The mustard bottle has the distinctive red cap and yellow barrel shape of [[Wikipedia:Plochman's|Plochman's]] mustard.
*The logo for The Show AM is a reference to [http://www.techiediva.com/photos/uncategorized/todayshow.gif The Today Show] on [[Wikipedia:NBC|NBC]].

{{charnav|Strong Sad|ss|Strong Mad|Pom Pom}}
[[Image:newerstrongsad.PNG|thumb|"Each day we die a little more, yo."]]
== Biography ==

[[Image:Babyss.PNG|thumb|Not sitting next to The Diapersmith.]]
'''Strong Sad''' is the youngest of [[The Brothers Strong|the Brothers Strong]]. It is unclear how he was born, as his [[Wikipedia:Umbilicus|belly button]] (which normally indicates the removal of the [[Wikipedia:Umbilical cord|umbilical cord]] shortly after birth) was apparently created by [[Strong Bad]] using a drill that he received for his birthday. He stands somewhere between Strong Bad and [[Strong Mad]] in height, and he has large, elephant-like feet he calls "[[Soolnds|soolnds]]". (In the past, poachers have apparently offered large sums of money to obtain Strong Sad's feet.) His body is round and is two shades of grey—a lighter grey from the waist up, and darker grey from the waist down. Strong Sad's body makes the sound of a red gym ball when hit—and according to Strong Sad, it is hit often. His head is white and has an odd lump on the top, referred to as a "disturbing soft-serve flip" by Strong Bad in [[keep cool]] (a trait shared by [[Mr. Bland]]). He is usually very calm and soft-spoken, although he has become [[Hyperactive Strong Sad|hyperactive]] on occasion (at least once under the influence of caffeine), and he has also temporarily (and involuntarily) become a [[radio|radio DJ]] once or twice. The phrase "Covered Bridges" seems to be able to put him in some type of trance, as seen in [[Fall Float Parade]].

Strong Sad's main defining characteristic is his chronic depression—his high level of intelligence and creativity are almost always overshadowed by it. His many interests include listening, books, listening to books, calligraphy, safety, being alone, arts, crafts, and arts [[b/w]] crafts. He has outstanding handwriting and often uses it in writing poetry, which he then recites at his own "poetry slams". Strong Sad is seen using both his right and left hands to write and play the guitar, implying that he is [[Left Handedness|ambidextrous]]. He has been seen practicing [[Wikipedia:T'ai Chi Ch'üan|T'ai Chi]]. Strong Sad also enjoys playing board games (especially with other board games), and he seems to enjoy going to science-fiction and fantasy conventions, as seen in [[different town]] and [[TrogdorCon '97]]. He has an [[Strong Sad's iPod|iPod]], and he occasionally updates his [[Strong Sad's Lament|blog]]. Strong Sad's highly philosophical view on life has creeped out other characters more than once, most notably Strong Bad and [[Marzipan]]. Strong Sad may have a crush on Marzipan; he has occasionally lied to Marzipan just so he could spend time with her, as in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 10.2]]. However, he might just be trying to make friends with anyone he can.

Strong Sad has a sort of "love-hate" relationship with his brother Strong Bad. It has been suggested that the two [[The Secrets That I Keep|got along quite well]] when they were younger, but nowadays, Strong Sad suffers almost constant [[Strong Bad Hurting Strong Sad|abuse]] from Strong Bad. (Nobody really knows why.) In particular, Strong Bad has quite a list of [[Nicknames#Strong Sad|names]] he's used to insult Strong Sad. Strong Sad has also been the subject of numerous practical jokes by Strong Bad, Strong Mad and [[The Cheat]], from being drilled a new navel by [[Lil' Strong Bad]] to being used as a [[The Stunt Double|stunt double]] for the [[Dangeresque]] movies. In turn, Strong Sad often has a very low opinion of his brother and considers him to be a clueless weirdo, though nobody really seems to care most of the time what he thinks. Despite all of this, he seems to retain some degree of brotherly love toward his siblings: When the [[gimmicks|Tandy 400 exploded]], Strong Sad asked Strong Bad if he was all right. Also, while Strong Bad was [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|in jail]], Strong Sad wrote him a letter wishing him well, and adding that his brother's absence caused him to feel far happier with himself than usual and also that while Strong Bad was gone, he turned his brother's computer room into his tai chi space. He was also eager to help Strong Bad with his 150th e-mail in [[Sbemail 150?!?]] (he actually managed to provide the background music for Strong Bad's email intro in [[alternate universe]]).

Strong Sad's troubled relationship with Strong Bad seems to extend to the rest of the community in [[Free Country, USA]] as well. He is generally reclusive and has only a few friends—his best friend appears to be [[Homsar]], and he plays Jenga with The Cheat on Tuesdays. Early in the site's history, Homestar Runner even counted Strong Sad as a friend, and still shows some signs of friendship towards him. He is often overlooked and ignored when he [[In Search of the Yello Dello New Version|has an idea]], and he is sometimes even [[Death#Strong Sad's Imagined Death|believed to be dead]]. Despite all of this, he serves as a loyal officer in the [[Homestarmy]], and a [[impression|Strong Sad Lookalike Contest]] is held in his honor/insult each year.

''{'''Page Title''': Poetry Slam!!}'' ''{'''Place:''' [[Strong Sad's Room]]}''

''{Open with a black screen.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't wanna do a characters page!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, come on, you can do it!

''{The lens cap is removed, and Strong Sad appears as the camera focuses on him.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'm not really comfortable talking to a camera.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{offscreen}'' Just pretend like you're talking to me, or a wall, or a tree, or any of the other stuff that you usually talk to.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ohhhhhh! My name's Strong Sad and... I have two brothers that like to pummel me every hour, on the hour. I mostly sit in my room, and... listen to music, and write, ''{begins tracing his finger along the edge of the screen}'' and talk to walls or trees... ''{stops touching the edge of the screen}'' and wait to be pummeled... I guess I like board games more than most people. And by that I mean I like to play board games more than most people do. But by that I also mean I like board games more than I like most people. Like this one time, me and Hi-Ho Cherry-O! were playing The Game of Life, and I got a phone call from... Coach Z or somebody. And, I didn't answer it because I was having such a good time with playing this board game, against this other board game...

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{off-screen, losing patience}'' Okay, I think that's enough, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' And it got me to thinking, you know?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Okay, okay, I'm turning it off now.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Two lovers... collide...

''{The camera stops.}''

== Fun Facts ==
* [[Matt Chapman]] has said that Strong Sad is the most difficult character to voice due to how delicate he sounds. If Matt strains his voice too much before recording, he actually can't do Strong Sad at all (which led to Mike substituting for Strong Sad's one word in [[cheat talk]]).
* Strong Sad [[Fourth Wall Breaks|breaks the fourth wall]] by saying he doesn't want to do a "character page", and by running his finger up and down the left border of the screen. The actual wall of his room is much further off to the side, as evidenced by the poster in the background.
* The odd lump on top of Strong Sad's head gives him a similar appearance to some of the secondary characters in [[Wikipedia:Casper the Friendly Ghost|Casper the Friendly Ghost]].

* Strong Sad used to have an AOL Instant Messenger screenname of "depressio222". A fan registered the name, and after many questions as to why the Brothers Chaps had not reserved it beforehand, Strong Sad's IM changed to "depressio111117".
*Strong Sad was originally going to sound like [[Wikipedia:Michael Stipe|Michael Stipe]], but it was quickly rejected.

In Search of the Yello Dello Old Version

2006-11-10T15:35:00Z

FlapperPrower: Strong Mad & the Announcer are nowhere to be seen or heard in the old version.

[[Image:YelloDelloOld.PNG|thumb|"Lets do it for Marzipan!"]]
The old version of the toon is similar to the new one. The main difference is its lack of the large scene at the mountain.

__FORCETOC__
== Transcript ==

''{Homestar, Coach Z, and Pom Pom are on the athletic field. Pom Pom is seen kicking a basketball around in the background whilst Homestar kicks a can, depressed.}''

'''CAPTION''': "One day after sports, Coach Z noticed Homestar Runner looking troubled"

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, what's the problem there, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh man, Coach Z, I guess I just don't understand the ladies.

'''COACH Z:''' Oh jeez, I figured it was girl trouble. Step into my orffice.

''{Cut to the locker room.}''

'''COACH Z:''' So, tell me what's the matter.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, it's Marzipan's birthday, and I don't what to get her!

''{The alien in the shower's towel falls off.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Well, Homestar, I tell you. Girls are like a great sports play. ''{We now see a blackboard with a gameplay on it.}'' You can't just rush in to the score zone! You kiddin' me? You'd be clobbered! You've gotta stick and move and zig and zag to get past the defenses, so youse can score! ''{Blackboard writing forms a skull and crossbones.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' BUT COACH, I DON'T UNDERSTAND. ''{Homestar's mouth simply stays open through the entire sentence here.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Don't just get her a flower. ''{Scene showing Homestar giving Marzipan a regular flower; Marzipan appears angry and the flower droops.}'' Get her some rare flower from the tallest mountain! ''{Scene showing Homestar at the top of a mountain with a rare flower wearing lederhosen.}'' That way she knows how much she means to yahs!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, Coach! ''{Levitates and flies away to the sound of squealing tires.}''

''{Homestar is sitting on a rock next to a tree. The sun and moon rise and set several times.}''

'''CAPTION:''' So he thought and thought... Until finally...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think I has the solution! The Yello Dello!
''{Scene changes to the Yello Dello on the "Discover Network"; a Steve Irwin-type host describes the bird.}''

'''HOST:''' Found only in northeastern Potamia, the Yello Dello is the most rare and beautiful bird in this entire cartoon.

''{Strong Sad, Pom Pom, and Homestar are about to set out on their journey.}''

'''CAPTION''': And So Homestar, Pom Pom, and Strong Sad set out in search of the Yello Dello...

''{A map appears and red dotted lines track their route through Far Off Lands, Prance, Portugal, and Potamia.}''

'''CAPTION:''' They traveled many miles...

''{The adventurers appear in a game of Pitfall. Strong Sad is standing to the left of an alligator pond, with Homestar and Pom Pom on the right. A rope swings back and forth over the pond.}''

'''CAPTION:''' Encountered many dangers...

''{Homestar swings over the alligators.}''

'''CAPTION:''' Until at last they reached their destination...

''{The Yello Dello is shown atop a mountain. The three approach the base of the mountain.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, I don't know, Homestar, that looks really dangerous.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah, come on, guys, lets do it for Marzipan!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, I already got Marzipan a present and I don't really think that—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right, right. We do it for Marzipan.

{''Cut to Marzipan watering some flowers with a watering can that says "H<sup>2</sup>Oh!".''}

'''CAPTION:''' Meanwhile...

''{Strong Bad flies onscreen, wearing pink oven mitts.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Marzipan, I heard Homestar's getting you the Yello Dello for your birthday. You wanna know what I got you? NOTHING!

''{Marzipan is angry at Strong Bad's comment, but then thinks of the Yello Dello and starts bouncing happily.}''

''{Cut back to the bottom of the mountain. A burlap sack wiggles next to them.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ok, we got it. Now let's go home and get ready for the party.

''{Marzipan's house is decorated with balloons (on the mailbox) and a big banner reading "happy birthday marzipan" Marzipan hops around a bit by her mailbox then walks over to her house. She opens the door to see Pom Pom, Strong Sad and Homestar. Homestar holds up a roast chicken on a platter.}''

'''ALL:''' Happy Birthday!

''{Marzipan thinks the chicken is the Yello Dello. She screams and slaps Homestar, leaving a visible handprint and sending the chicken flying across the room. She walks away in a huff. The Yello Dello then pops out of a giftbox, unharmed.}''

'''YELLO DELLO:''' Gee, whaddya think her problem was?

''{Cut to outside the house. The Pitfall scorpion crawls across the screen behind the mailbox.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I guess I just don't understand the ladies.

'''CAPTION:''' end. ''{The Pitfall death music is played, and as the scorpion reaches the right side of the screen, the screen wipes to black, surrounding the scorpion.}''

In Search of the Yello Dello

2006-11-09T07:35:01Z

FlapperPrower: /* Everything Else Vol.2 Version */

{{toonnav|Big Toon|yellodellomenu|The King of Town DVD|The Reddest Radish}}
[[Image:searchfortheyellodello.PNG|thumb|One hot bird.]]

''"The Yello Dello is the most rare and beautiful bird in this entire cartoon."''

Homestar wants to get a gift for Marzipan, but can't decide what to get. Coach Z advises him to get something rare and exotic, so Homestar, Pom Pom, and Strong Sad head out to catch the Yello Dello.
The DVD is complete with commentary, the old version of the cartoon, and deleted scenes. The characters are drawn in a [[Stylized Character Designs|stylized fashion]].

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Coach Z}}, {{Film|Pom Pom}}, [[Unnamed Characters#Other Characters|The Alien Guy]], [[The Mountain Goat]], [[The Yello Dello]], {{Film|Strong Sad}}, {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|Marzipan}}, {{Film|The Announcer}}, {{Film|Strong Mad}}

'''Places:''' [[The Athletic Field]], [[Coach Z's Locker Room]], A Mountain, [[Far Off Lands]], Various Fields, Marzipan's Garden, [[Homestar's House]]

'''Date:''' 2000

'''Commentary''': Strong Bad, Strong Sad, and Homestar Runner talk about the movie as it's being played.

'''Deleted Scenes''': A pixelated challenge which is a parody of the Atari 2600 game <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.atariage.com/screenshot_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=976 Barnstorming]</span>; Coach Z and Homestar Runner in the shower room; and Strong Mad telling Marzipan about the Yello Dello.

==Transcripts==
{{YelloDello}}

== Fun Facts ==

=== Remarks ===
*During the scene where Coach Z is giving advice to Homestar, Homestar's star appears as a pentacle — a hollow star drawn with lines across each point. Stars are often drawn this way because it's easier to make them symmetrical.
*If you go to the third deleted scene (where Strong Mad plays Strong Bad's role), the tattoo on Strong Mad's right arm is of the band [[Wikipedia:Black Flag (band)|Black Flag]]. He is also wearing a shirt with a megaphone decal on it.
*The flower that Marzipan is watering is similar to the flower in Coach Z's "bad gift" scenario.
*Marzipan's handprint seems to indicate that she has [[Lack of Visible Arms|invisible arms and hands]].
*Unless Pom Pom had two identical guns, he couldn't have pulled out the gun the second time, because he threw it away.
*There is no "back" link at the end of the old version.
*The link to the storyboards no longer works.
*Despite the Yello Dello's feminine appearance and the fact that it's referred to as a ''her'', it speaks in a male voice.
*This is the first appearance of [[Atari 2600]] graphics on HomestarRunner.com.

=== Goofs ===
*In the scene where Pom Pom is floating, the dots on Homestar's hat disappear while he talks.
*In the locker room scene, Coach Z's right foot is cut down by a thin gray line in the middle, showing a mistake in copy and pasting.
*In the scene where Pom Pom and Homestar are supporting Strong Sad so he can tell his story, Homestar wakes up and slides out from underneath Strong Sad, yet Strong Sad doesn't move (he was previously standing on top of Homestar).

=== Inside References ===
*The goat head that pops out from behind the mountain in Coach Z's "bad gift" scenario also appeared in [[Audition With Marzipan]].
*In the commentary, Strong Sad reveals that he dreams of [[Death#Strong Sad's Imagined Death|his own death]] (over and over and over...)
*In the commentary, Homestar accidentally introduces the toon as "the King of Town Super DVD", which references to the [[King of Town DVD]].
*In the commentary, Strong Bad's saying that he doesn't trust Pom Pom any further than he can throw him is another reference to [[King of Town DVD]], where SB makes the same quote in the commentary about the little chef guy.
*[[Oven Mitts|Oven mitts]] appear several times in the DVD.

=== Real-World References ===
* "Hello Yello Dello" might be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Three Stooges|The Three Stooges']] quote of "Hello, Hello, Hello! Hello hello hello hello hello!"
*The deleted scene with the plane is a reference to the Atari 2600 game [http://www.atariage.com/screenshot_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=976 Barnstorming]. The scene with the scorpion is from the classic Atari 2600 game [http://www.atariage.com/screenshot_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=360 Pitfall].
*The title may be a reference to the old TV series [[Wikipedia:In Search of...|"In Search Of"]], which was narrated by [[Wikipedia:Leonard Nimoy|Leonard Nimoy]] ([[Wikipedia:Star Trek|Star Trek's]] [[Wikipedia:Mr. Spock|Mr. Spock]]) and detailed the search for various legendary beasts, artifacts, and places (e.g. In Search of [[Wikipedia:Bigfoot|Bigfoot]], In Search of [[Wikipedia:Loch Ness Monster|The Loch Ness Monster]], and so on).
*[[Wikipedia:Mello Yello|Mello Yello]] (mentioned in the third deleted scene) is a brand of soda made by [[Wikipedia:Coca-Cola|Coca-Cola]] similar to [[Mountain Dew]].
*The menu theme being obnoxiously loud is a reference to Pitfall 2, in which it played all through the game incredibly loud for an Atari. The menu theme is not the same as Pitfall 2's; however, it does sound very similar to it.
* H2-OH! is a bottled water brand.
*The Yello Dello's manner of eating is a reference to the Lucasarts adventure game LOOM, in which a seagull eats a clam in the same way.
* The character from [[Wikipedia:Yars' Revenge|Yars' Revenge]] that Homestar mentions in the Commentary is the Yar that you control in the game. In the game you can eat squares off of the Quotile's (the enemy) Shield.
*The way the music fades as it reaches the end of a loop (unlike most other loops on the site) may be a reference to the looping music used on some DVD menus. Due to technical limitations, music used in DVD menus cannot loop and is often faded out similarly to the music used here.

=== Fast Forward ===
*In the deleted scene, where Homestar and his companions are in the plane, after they fly into the ducks Homestar yells out, "Somebody get this freakin' [[Ducks|duck]] away from me!" This would be later said by Strong Bad relating to the Atari dragon on [[Main Page 13]].
*The quote, "I think I has the solution" was also said by Strong Bad in [[little questions]]

'''Deleted Scenes''': A pixelated challenge which is a parody of the Atari 2600 game <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.atariage.com/screenshot_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=976 Barnstorming]</span>; Coach Z and Homestar Runner in the shower room; and Strong Mad telling Marzipan about the Yello Dello.

==Transcripts==
{{YelloDello}}

== Fun Facts ==

=== Remarks ===
*During the scene where Coach Z is giving advice to Homestar, Homestar's star appears as a pentacle — a hollow star drawn with lines across each point. Stars are often drawn this way because it's easier to make them symmetrical.
*If you go to the third deleted scene (where Strong Mad plays Strong Bad's role), the tattoo on Strong Mad's right arm is of the band [[Wikipedia:Black Flag (band)|Black Flag]]. He is also wearing a shirt with a megaphone decal on it.
*The flower that Marzipan is watering is similar to the flower in Coach Z's "bad gift" scenario.
*Marzipan's handprint seems to indicate that she has [[Lack of Visible Arms|invisible arms and hands]].
*Unless Pom Pom had two identical guns, he couldn't have pulled out the gun the second time, because he threw it away.
*There is no "back" link at the end of the old version.
*The link to the storyboards no longer works.
*Despite the Yello Dello's feminine appearance and the fact that it's referred to as a ''her'', it speaks in a male voice.
*This is the first appearance of [[Atari 2600]] graphics on HomestarRunner.com.

=== Goofs ===
*In the scene where Pom Pom is floating, the dots on Homestar's hat disappear while he talks.
*In the locker room scene, Coach Z's right foot is cut down by a thin gray line in the middle, showing a mistake in copy and pasting.
*In the scene where Pom Pom and Homestar are supporting Strong Sad so he can tell his story, Homestar wakes up and slides out from underneath Strong Sad, yet Strong Sad doesn't move (he was previously standing on top of Homestar).

=== Inside References ===
*The goat head that pops out from behind the mountain in Coach Z's "bad gift" scenario also appeared in [[Audition With Marzipan]].
*In the commentary, Strong Sad reveals that he dreams of [[Death#Strong Sad's Imagined Death|his own death]] (over and over and over...)
*In the commentary, Homestar accidentally introduces the toon as "the King of Town Super DVD", which references to the [[King of Town DVD]].
*In the commentary, Strong Bad's saying that he doesn't trust Pom Pom any further than he can throw him is another reference to [[King of Town DVD]], where SB makes the same quote in the commentary about the little chef guy.
*[[Oven Mitts|Oven mitts]] appear several times in the DVD.

=== Real-World References ===
* "Hello Yello Dello" might be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Three Stooges|The Three Stooges']] quote of "Hello, Hello, Hello! Hello hello hello hello hello!"
*The deleted scene with the plane is a reference to the Atari 2600 game [http://www.atariage.com/screenshot_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=976 Barnstorming]. The scene with the scorpion is from the classic Atari 2600 game [http://www.atariage.com/screenshot_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=360 Pitfall].
*The title may be a reference to the old TV series [[Wikipedia:In Search of...|"In Search Of"]], which was narrated by [[Wikipedia:Leonard Nimoy|Leonard Nimoy]] ([[Wikipedia:Star Trek|Star Trek's]] [[Wikipedia:Mr. Spock|Mr. Spock]]) and detailed the search for various legendary beasts, artifacts, and places (e.g. In Search of [[Wikipedia:Bigfoot|Bigfoot]], In Search of [[Wikipedia:Loch Ness Monster|The Loch Ness Monster]], and so on).
*[[Wikipedia:Mello Yello|Mello Yello]] (mentioned in the third deleted scene) is a brand of soda made by [[Wikipedia:Coca-Cola|Coca-Cola]] similar to [[Mountain Dew]].
*The menu theme being obnoxiously loud is a reference to Pitfall 2, in which it played all through the game incredibly loud for an Atari. The menu theme is not the same as Pitfall 2's; however, it does sound very similar to it.
* H2-OH! is a bottled water brand.
*The Yello Dello's manner of eating is a reference to the Lucasarts adventure game LOOM, in which a seagull eats a clam in the same way.
* The character from [[Wikipedia:Yars' Revenge|Yars' Revenge]] that Homestar mentions in the Commentary is the Yar that you control in the game. In the game you can eat squares off of the Quotile's (the enemy) Shield.
*The way the music fades as it reaches the end of a loop (unlike most other loops on the site) may be a reference to the looping music used on some DVD menus. Due to technical limitations, music used in DVD menus cannot loop and is often faded out similarly to the music used here.

=== Fast Forward ===
*In the deleted scene, where Homestar and his companions are in the plane, after they fly into the ducks Homestar yells out, "Somebody get this freakin' [[Ducks|duck]] away from me!" This would be later said by Strong Bad relating to the Atari dragon on [[Main Page 13]].
*The quote, "I think I has the solution" was also said by Strong Bad in [[little questions]]

'''INTERVIEWER:''' But what are the reasons behind keeping the site ad-free and making it clean enough for kids to view?
:...
'''MIKE:''' It’s really just more of our style. ... It wasn’t a super hard decision to make. We probably would have been doing it like this anyway. We’ve always leaned toward the more subtle type of humor, as opposed to over-the-top.

'''MATT:''' But when we get our sketch comedy show, dude, there’s going to be so many swears!
|}

Even given this attitude, there have been many examples of various degrees of '''swearing''' on the website, both stated and implied.

==Appearances==

*Email '''[[trevor the vampire]]''' — Strong Bad types "What the f" before he interrupts himself.
*Email '''[[sb_email 22]]''' — Strong Bad edits the phrase "Thank You" to "Nevermind the Bullocks", a misspelling of an [[Wikipedia:Bollocks|English slang term]] for male genitalia which could offend the English audience, if not relevant to their American counterparts.
*Email '''[[sugarbob]]''' — One of Strong Bad's instant messages contains the word "[[Internet Slang|lmao]]", which means "laughing my ass off." Another one reads, "SB is the shizzle", which in this context means "Strong Bad is the shit".
*Email '''[[the bird]]''' — Strong Bad, Pom Pom and Homestar all supposedly give "[[Wikipedia:Finger (gesture)|the finger]]" gesture, even though none have visible fingers.
*Email '''[[cheat talk]]''' — In an Easter egg, the announcer translates one of [[The Cheat|The Cheat's]] phrases as "Check it out, this is going to be great. Just say 'Screw all y'all!'" (a direct reference to [[sb email 22]]), then adds "And now on to Lesson 2: All the swears."
*'''[[Old Characters Page]]''' — [[Bubs|Bubs']] description says that he makes "a helluva sno-cone".
*'''[[Second Games Menu|Second]]''' and '''[[Third Games Menu]]''' — The titlebar for both pages reads, in part, "for the whole damn family!" Also, on the Second Games Menu, the description for the [[Homestar Talker]] reads, "Homestar says the darndest things. You want to make him swear don't you? Shame on you. Call your mother."
*Email '''[[comic]]''' — In an Easter egg, one of the records visibly displays the phrase "You Stupid Asshole." This was later censored in [[strongbad_email.exe]], but remains uncensored on HomestarRunner.com.
*'''[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]]''' — [[Cheerleader]] thinks her elephant head is "hella tight."
*'''[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]]''' — The girls react to Tompkins's comment, "Heck, I'm taller than you," by shouting "TOMPKINS MADE A SWEAR!!!"
*Email '''[[no loafing]]''' — Strong Bad says one of his posters (with the caption "Failure is not a 4-letter word") talks about cussing.
*'''[[Commandos in the Classroom]]''' —
**[[Pony Fights 2]] is rated PG-13 for "Severe cussing and ''very'' illegal pony fights."
**[[Reynold]] attempts to "swear a cuss", then says "diaper biscuits", causing the rest of the Commandos to laugh at him.
**When Reynold says "I might as well go home and get teen pregnant", [[Gunhaver]] calls him a "Cheat Cuss-mando."
*'''[[In Search of the Yello Dello Deleted Scenes|In Search of the Yello Dello]]''' — The first deleted scene's description mentions that it was deleted because of [[Homestar Runner|Homestar's]] "foul mouth". The foul language was most likely the phrase "freakin' duck".
**According to its description, the secret deleted scene had to be revised because of [[Marzipan]] swearing, even though there's no evidence of her using foul language in the scene.
*In '''[[Strong Sad's Lament]]''' one of his emotions is "the frig?" as in "what the frig?"
*'''[[Hairstyle Runner]]''' — One of the heads in the gallery is titled "smartass".
*Email '''[[lady fan]]''' — Marzipan calls Strong Bad a "horse's twees". Homestar first used the word "twees" to refer to Strong Bad's butt, also calling it "your buttweesimo", so we can surmise that Marzipan meant "horse's ass", a common insult.
*'''[[Kid Speedy]]''' — One of the items that causes Kid Speedy to lose all his speed is "@!?#!".
*'''[[Secret Pages#Other Animations|Homestar's Yearbook]]''' — Homestar states, "Sign my yearbook! ... but don't use any swears, because my mom reads it."
*'''[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 11.2]]''' — Thinking that he had been given the cold shoulder after asking for a seven-letter word, Homestar asks for a four-letters word for censoring a cuss word, which ends up being "beep."
*'''[[Strongest Man in the World]]''' — After a very angry string of bubbles from [[Pom Pom]], a shocked Homestar asks him to "tone down the language".
*Email '''[[coloring]]''' - Homsar has blocks stacked that say, "Turd".
*'''[[Parsnips A-Plenty]]''' — In the easter egg where Old Timey Strong Bad is in Hell, he shouts out "Curses! I've gone to Hell! How unfortunate".

== See Also ==
*In addition to the above, the word "[[Crap|crap]]" is often used as a swear word.

The Umpire

2006-11-06T08:02:25Z

FlapperPrower:

[[Image:UmpireHomePlate.png|thumb|150px|The Umpire]] '''The Umpire''' is the official for [[Homestar Runner|Homestar's]] baseball team. His first (and only) appearance was in [[Where My Hat Is At?]], where he tells "the" Homestar Runner that, without his hat, he is not allowed to play in the Big Game. After Homestar finds his hat, the Umpire yells, "SAFE!" as Homestar runs across home plate. According to the Chapman Brothers, he was originally going to be put in an easter egg on the last Strong Bad Email they done (probably [[retirement]] or [[coloring]]).

== Fun Facts ==
*This is the first appearance of [[Coach Z]] and [[Bubs]], as well as the first and only appearance of [[The Umpire]].
*Coach Z's name is spelled "Coach Zee."
*This is one of the few times Homestar is seen drinking [[Cold One|cold ones]]. He also has one at the end of the [[Theme Song Video]].
*In the old version, on the image with Bubs, the page URL is hs1x, whereas the others are hs1, hs2, hs3, etc. The Brothers Chaps may have forgotten to put it in, which is why it didn't follow the order, and clicking 'back' from hs14 took you to hs13 rather than hs1x, as it should have. This has since been fixed in the new version made on February 14, 2006.
*In the old version there were buttons for 'next' on the last image, and 'back' on the first image. Those would take you to cartoons.html, which was [[404'd]]. This has also since been fixed in the new version made on February 14, 2006.

== DVD Version ==

Original Book

2006-11-06T07:52:19Z

FlapperPrower: /* DVD Version */

[[Image:Original Book Cover.PNG|thumb|The book that started it all]]
'''The Homestar Runner Enters the Strongest Man in the World Contest''' is the original children's book that started it all. The story is bizarre, but shows signs of the greatness to come. The archive in the [[Museum|museum]] includes the story plus some alternate cover ideas.

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

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

A modernized and animated version was made ten years later, in the form of [[Strongest Man in the World]].

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

== Background ==
*In an [http://members.shaw.ca/kevinscott/Homestar/index.html interview], [[Mike Chapman]] tells how he and [[Craig Zobel]] started the story in 1996:
:"Just a story we made one afternoon, went to Kinko's, made about ten or fifteen copies of it, and kind of gave it to our friends, and that was it, really, for several years. We just did that in the summer. We were in college, and did it in a bored afternoon."

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

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

'''Page Title:''' White and Drifted Snow, Yo!

'''Date:''' December 20, 2004

== Transcript ==
''{Wintery music plays as the camera zooms in on Homestar's clock; it flips from 9:59 to 10:00. Cut to Homestar Runner, with his cinnamon five-o'clock shadow, in bed yawning. Homestar sits up and looks out the window, and the music stops with a record scratch. It's the middle of the night.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh crap! ''{cut to outside Homestar's window looking in}'' I set the alarm for 10 PM instead of AM again!

''{cut back to inside the bedroom}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I was supposed to go Decemberween shopping today!

''{Another record scratch as the camera focuses on a page-a-day calendar, which reads "Dec. 25 — 'The D'Ween, yo.'"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh crap! It's Decemberween already!

''{Homestar jumps out of bed and runs off, and we hear the sound of him smacking into something. Pan right to reveal Homestar landing on the floor.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh crap! I ran into the door!

''{Homestar gets up and runs off again. The camera shakes to banging noises offscreen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dryly}'' Oh crap, I fell down the stairs.

''{Cut to outside Homestar's house. Naked and censored, Homestar leaps out and looks around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sighing}'' And now, I ran out of the house, naked somehow.

''{Homestar looks up at the snow.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{happily}'' Ooh, but it ''is'' snowing.

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

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

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

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

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

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{off-camera}'' Meh?

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

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{off-camera} {"Okay" noise}''

''{The Cheat yelps as Strong Bad extends the Grabbo Arm, grabs him, and pulls him onscreen. He's wearing a red nose and antlers and holding a glass of egg nog.}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Zoom in on Homestar.}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Strong Bad walks in.}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Homestar runs off again.}''

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

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

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

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

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

''{scene fades to black.}''

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

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

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

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
[[Image:SevenMinutes.PNG|thumb|Enjoy it.]]
*At the end, [[Homestar's Clock]] supposedly counts down the minutes remaining of Decemberween, although it actually counts down the minutes until the end of the 25th of the current month (based on the local computer system's clock). If it reaches zero, the clock reads, "It's over" (a [[Teen Girl Squad]] reference).
**After the 25th of the month, Homestar's Clock seems to run forward, counting the minutes since that day passed.
**Plus, pressing "Play" is a quick way to get the "It's Over" message.
**Plus plus, after the 25th, the tens spot is empty, so when it gets to ten, the ones spot is the tens, and ones are gone untill the next minuite.

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

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

===Inside References===
*Coach Z's [[Disconnected Telephones|disconnected telephone]] resembles the one from [[replacement]].
*Strong Sad is locked in the bathtub—something he said his brothers do to him every Decemberween, according to [[The Best Decemberween Ever]].
*Also, some of the scenes in this toon are similar to those in The Best Decemberween Ever. They include:
**The plot of the toon, which is to get someone a Decemberween present (though in The Best Decemberween Ever he only focused on Strong Bad, here, Homester focuses on everyone).
**Homestar emerging from his home (albeit naked, which was not the case with The Best Decemberween Ever).
**The long shot of Homestar running (but in this case, it's night instead of day).
**Homestar approaching [[Bubs' Concession Stand]].
*One of the [[Pizza|pizza]] boxes on the floor is a box of [[Bubs' Old Pizza]].

===Real-World References===
*While locked in the bathtub, Strong Sad sings a misquoted lyric from the song "One Night in Bangkok," from the musical "''[[Wikipedia:Chess_(musical)|Chess]]''". It became a number one hit for Murray Head in 1984, and was composed and written by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus of ABBA and Tim Rice. The correct quotes are "One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster," "One night in Bangkok makes the hard man humble," and "One night in Bangkok makes the tough guys tumble."
*The toy seen briefly on the floor in the Strongs' living room is a [[The Strongs' Capsela|Capsela]] set, a module-based construction set which can be used to make portable fans, real floating boats, all manner of wheel and caterpillar-driven vehicles, and even remote-controlled robots. It appears as though their set in particular was used to make a boat (the "balloon" capsules on the bottom are a dead giveaway).
*[[Homestar Runner's Sleepwear|The piano T-shirt]] Homestar is wearing in bed is essentially the same as that worn by [[Wikipedia:Michael Jackson|Michael Jackson]] in bed in the video for [[Wikipedia:Beat It|"Beat It"]]. This includes the inaccurate depiction of a keyboard, showing both single black keys and three white keys in a row.
*Strong Mad's rock is a reference to "pet rocks" which were popular in the mid-'70s.
*Homsar's "Alms for the pudgy" request, and Baked Beans bucket/complimentary spit-bucket is a take on the [[Wikipedia:Salvation Army|Salvation Army]]'s annual Christmas drives.
*The term "bogart", meaning to hold out on, refers to the great [[Wikipedia:Humphrey Bogart|Humphrey Bogart]], to describe the way he would hold out on tapping his cigarette ash by instead letting it build up and fall on its own.

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

[[Image:snowglobe.png|thumb|A good gift for Nana]]

A snow globe for Rather Dashing.

'''Cast (in order of appearance): '''{{Film|Rather Dashing}}, {{Film|Trogdor}}

'''Places:''' [[Peasantry]]

'''Date:''' December 16, 2004

'''Page Title:''' Have a Rather Dashing Decemberween!

== Transcript ==
''{Scene opens to a wintry version of the burninated cottage from [[Peasant's Quest]], with an odd blue object with a red bottom in the screen as well. The Peasant's Quest theme is playing. The score is "0 of 1." Rather Dashing walks on in winter attire. The command "look" is typed in, loading up the following text:}''

<blockquote>Even your burninated hovel<br/>
looks picturesque in the<br/>
cold Peasantry snow. Oh,<br/>
and there's a snowglobe on<br/>
the ground. That's what<br/>
that red and blue thing is.<br/>
A snowglobe.</blockquote>

''{The command "get snowglobe" is typed. Rather Dashing picks up the globe, and the score changes to "1 of 1." The following text appears, as the "got item" sound from Peasant's Quest plays:}''

<blockquote>Hey! It's a Trogdor snow<br/>
globe! Now you have a<br/>
Decemberween present for<br/>
Nana. Score!</blockquote>

''{The Trogdor snow globe appears on-screen, with the text "Greetings from Peasantry" on the base.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end you can shake the snowglobe. After you've shaken it for 30 seconds a "Time Wasted" counter will keep track of how much time you've spent shaking the snowglobe. The timer will count up as long as either you hold down the mouse button or the stuff in the snowglobe is moving.
*When the timer hits 2 minutes you will get this message (spoken by Trogdor himself):

<blockquote>Congratulations! You<br/>
wasted more time than any-<br/>
body else ever has. Happy<br/>
Decemberween, peasant.<br/>
Your life will be spared<br/>
for another day.</blockquote>

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*At 5908:33 the time will stop.

===Remarks===
*Rather Dashing still wears his short pants, even though it's winter.
*You can press Enter or the spacebar to advance to the next event instead of clicking the text (or you could just wait).
*The filename, xmas04_pq.swf, is further evidence that [[Decemberween]] really is Christmas in Free Country, USA.

===Glitches===
*Sometimes while shaking the globe, a peasant or two will poke their heads out of the glass.
*If you click and hold the snowglobe, then drag the cursor off the screen, release the mouse, and then drag the cursor back onto the screen, the snowglobe will continue to follow your cursor without your having to hold down the mouse button. Also, the timer will continue to count even if it is not moving.
*If you right click and click play, then click on the snowglobe, you won't have to wait 2 minutes.
*Some peasants may suddenly move to the ground of the globe if it is shaken quickly enough.
*Peasants will move suddenly to the ground if you drag the globe slowly downwards.

*Trogdor's message Easter Egg is automatically enabled.

==Transcript==
''{Spooky sounds play against a darkened wall. Homestar Runner's shadow appears from the left, and Homestar himself then appears suddenly.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wah! You scared me! So, here's the deal: I'm lost inside this haunted mansion, and I need your help to find my costume and get outta here! So, what should we do first?

''{The screen displays: 'WHAT SHOULD WE DO?? 1. PET A GOAT 2. MAKE A STEW 3. "I'M SELLING THESE FINE LEATHER JACKETS..."' A "COSTUME LOCATOR" is in the lower left and a "HEALTH & BEAUTY" indicator, showing 100%, is in the lower right. Then, after a moment, the lights suddenly come on and the camera pans back, revealing the interior of Homestar's house, including pictures of Homestar's past costumes framed on the wall. Marzipan walks up with a wig and a pile of clothes. A sheet of paper can be seen in front of Homestar, with doodles all over it and several markers scattered around it.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' What up, Homestar? Here's your costume!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{taking the costume}'' Oh, thanks. You win!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{noticing the paper and markers}'' Homestar Michael Runner, what did you do—

''{A closeup of the paper is shown. It reads:}''

<div style="text-align:center; padding:8px; border: 1pt solid #000; width:300px">Halloween Potion<br/>1. *****-Water<br/>2. Powdered *********<br/>3. Essence of *********<br/>Stir ingredients with a ***********<br/>Say this magic incantation:<br/>*****************************</div>

''{Drawings of bugs and [[Ducks|ducks]] obscure all of the important parts, asterisked. Also, Homestar has written [[:Image:Mean sean.PNG|"MEAN SEAN"]], "QUACK TIME", and "COOL DUCK" on various parts of the paper.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' —to my Halloween Potion recipe?

''{Homestar and Marzipan appear again.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, yeah. ''{turns away from Marzipan}'' Marzipaaan! Can I draw ducks and bugs all over the recipe for your Halloween Potion?

'''MARZIPAN:''' No way, Jorge. You're gonna figure out what those ingredients were and bring 'em back here before midnight. Now march your skinny white butt into those spooky woods, mister!

''{Music starts.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{humbly}'' Yes, Mom-zipan.

''{The screen displays "HALLOWEEN POTION-MA-JIG" and "A MAKE-YOUR-OWN-DECISION-VENTURE", followed by the usual credits (with the notable addition of "[[Jonathan Howe|Jonathan]] programs"), over the drawings of bugs and ducks. Then, cut to the spooky woods, where Homestar is now in costume.}''

===The Water===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right! These spooky woods gotta be chock full of spooky ingredients. Let's see, the first one is ''{pulls out the paper}'' "Something Water." Hmmmmmmmm...

'''COACH Z:''' ''{from a distance}'' Really?

''{cut to Coach Z and Pom Pom}''

'''COACH Z:''' Then how come they'll be all nice to ya and act like they like ya to your face?

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

'''COACH Z:''' Guess I have a lot to learn about mailmen.

''{Homestar walks up}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, what are you guys doin' out here? Did you ruin somebody's magic potion too?

'''COACH Z:''' Uh... nope. Unless Coach Z's life is a magic potion.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Cool, cool, depressing, cool. So, um...

''{A box shows up reading "CHOICE TIME!!!" and the three choices:}''

==== 1. Do either of you have any... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{imitating a shady drifter}'' Do either of you have any cash on you? I'm trying to get a me a sandwich or somethin'. Uh, my car broke down and I'm out of gas.

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, sorry, man. All I gots is this bottle of, uh, ghost water?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's perfect! I was planning on blowin' that money on ghost water anyways.

''{A "scorecard" comes up with spaces for all the items you get. The first blank is filled with "<u>Ghost</u> Water". A victory sound plays.}''

==== 2. I need something that would be... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I need something that would be good in a Halloween Potion.

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles and pulls a severed toe out of his pocket}''

'''COACH Z:''' Pom Pom can getcha a toe. With nail polish!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um... do you have anything waterier? Or... more waterish? Or waterian?

'''COACH Z:''' Please, Homestar, stop! Just take this bottle of questionable water that I keep on my person at all times for questionable reasons!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I won't question that!

''{A "scorecard" comes up with spaces for all the items you get. The first blank is filled with "<u>Questionable</u> Water". A victory sound plays.}''

==== 3. Taco-Man came by... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Taco-Man came by. He gave me some water, he gave me some water. What are you guys gonna do for me?

'''COACH Z:''' Pom Pom, give the man some stank water. I will not be upstaged by Taco-Man two years in a row!

''{A "scorecard" comes up with spaces for all the items you get. The first blank is filled with "<u>Stank</u> Water". A victory sound plays.}''

=== The Powder ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I gotta keep searchin'. ''{starts to walk offscreen to the right}'' Too bad I probably won't run into anybody else mysteriously hanging out in the woods.

''{Cut to The King of Town and The Poopsmith. The King of Town is holding a bucket of fried chicken. Holes are dug all over the place. Homestar walks up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh! Whaddaya know! How ya diggin'?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oh! We're certainly not trying to unearth the ham sandwich that I buried here when I was nine.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Good. 'Cause I found that thing like two months ago. It wasn't that good. Too much mayo.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Too much mayo?! I ''love'' too much mayo!

''{The choice dialogue comes up again.}''

==== 1. Hey! I've got it... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, I've got it! I'll give you a detailed account of the consumption of your ham sammie if you give me a powdered item for this Potion-ma-jig!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Sweet deal! Take some of this powdered Thanksgiving! Now let's hear it!

''{The screen starts to fade out.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, so first I washed all the dirt off with some Windex. That made it blue and soggy...

''{It fades back in. The King of Town has his head lowered in emotion. His chicken bucket is empty.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...and that last bite nearly made me puke it right back on my plate!

''{Homestar walks off and takes the powder as he goes.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oh, I wish you had. I surely wish you had!

''{The scorecard returns. The second blank is filled with "Powdered <u>Thanksgiving</u>".}''

==== 2. I say, is that a powdered... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I say, is that a powdered wig you're wearing, your Kentucky Fried-ness? 'Cause I'm in the market for some powdery dealings!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{pulls out a pouch}'' Well, I've got my secret blend of eleven herbs and spices. But, of course, you can't have that.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aw, that's too bad. I guess I'll just go on home and— ''{starts popping in and out of the holes, snatching the powder while he hops around}'' Pyong-pyong-pyong-pyong-pyong! ''{appears from one of the holes, holding the powder}'' So long, suckers!

''{Homestar drops back into the hole.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ha! That blend was just a decoy! It only has ''ten'' herbs and spices!

''{The scorecard appears with "Powdered <u>Herbs & Spices</u>".}''

==== 3. Poopsmith, do I dare ask... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Poopsmith, do I dare ask what powdered delights you've unearthed?

''{The Poopsmith digs in the dirt and a pouch pops out, which Homestar catches.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh, ground ground. Thanks thanks, guys guys.

''{The scorecard appears with "Powdered <u>Ground Ground</u>"}''

===Homsar===
''{This scene only happens if you click on the upper half of The Poopsmith as Homestar walks away (an Easter egg). Homsar is floating on a balloon, as per his costume (Tingle from [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda series|The Legend of Zelda Series]].) Homestar walks up, and looks at him, annoyed.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, great, the secret guy.

'''HOMSAR:''' AaAaA—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Just gimme my choices!

''{Homsar throws confetti, and the bottom of the screen reads:}''

<blockquote>
HOISIN SAUCE!<br>
2TH: HORSE IT ON IN THERE!<br>
THAT'S A LOT! A LOT! A LOT! A LOT!<br>
> What wouldst thou deau?</blockquote>

''{With The Hornblower's head and some circus peanuts over it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What I'm supposed to do with ''that'' mess? I'm outta here!

''{The "ding" sound effect plays backwards as the box of text vanishes. Homestar walks away.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' Location, location, location!

=== The Essence ===
''{Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat are standing around a cliff, with broken TVs littering the area. Strong Bad's face is obscured by the cabinet doors on his costume. Strong Mad grunts and tosses a broken TV. Homestar walks up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa. This is a cool new background!

''{The TV Strong Mad tossed falls in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{opening his costume's doors}'' Yeah! We were just burying our problems here in the spooky woods when we found this creepy cliff! It's perfect for the chucking off of busted old TVs.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Essence of busted old TVs? 'Cuz I got a serious jones!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, I think these TVs lost their essence in the seventies. What are you doing here, anyways?

''{The choice box returns:}''

==== 1. I've always felt that... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I've always felt that essence of rose petals is my very most favorite essence.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I agree, The Cheat. Essence of doo doo meringue has always been my favorite. In fact... there's a whole bunch of it down at the bottom of this cliff you can have.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{jumping off the cliff}'' Cannonball!

''{The scorecard appears with "Essence of <u>Doo doo meringue</u>"}''

==== 2. I'm trying to ruin Marzipan's... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm trying to ruin Marzipan's Halloween Potion. Got any leads?

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's a worthy cause if ever there was one! How about this essence of putting Strong Mad's hand in warm water while he's asleep?

'''STRONG MAD:''' MY SECRET SHAME!

''{The Cheat tosses a bottle off the cliff. Homestar jumps after it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks a lot you guuuuuuuuuys!

''{The scorecard returns with "Essence of <u>Putting Strong Mad's hand in warm water while he's asleep</u>".}''

==== 3. I'm in the mood for a... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm in the mood for a Hovan roll!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, me too. Let's have a race to the food court. Here's the starting line. Ready, go!

''{The Cheat draws a line in dirt next to the cliff's edge.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{running over cliff}'' Eat my duuuuuuuust!

''{The scorecard returns with "Essence of <u>Gullibility</u>".}''

===The stirring utensil===
''{Cut back to Strong Bad's posse}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meka-leka-hi-meka-The Cheat throw a TV on 'im...

''{The Cheat drops a TV over the cliff.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...ho.

''{The doors on Strong Bad's costume close once more. Cut to Bubs, standing by a canister labeled "BUBS' MO'BILE CAN o' STIRRING UTENSILS". ("Bile" is in green.) Homestar bounces once on the ground and then lands on his feet next to Bubs. The TV crashes behind Homestar at the same spot where he had bounced off, narrowly missing him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Bubs! Fancy runnin' into you in the middle of the spooky woods sellin' stirring utensils.

'''BUBS:''' It's a niche market.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So, what kind of concoctions might one stir with your wares?

'''BUBS:''' Well, a little eye of newt, some toe of frog. Baby, you got a witches' brew goin'.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, that's my line! So, how do I score one of those jobbies?

'''BUBS:''' Oh, they're free. But you gotta ''earn'' 'em!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, that doesn't sound free at all.

'''BUBS:''' Well you just gotta ''earn'' 'em.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' How should I do that?

''{The choice box returns:}''

==== 1. Do a dance ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dances}'' A little to the left, come on, come on, back to the right, shake it around. ''{he repeats it over Bubs's next line}''

'''BUBS:''' Oh, yeah! Stick and move, stick and move! You're pretty good, shorty. ''{pulls a red spoon from his canister}'' That's worth at least a ''Jurassic Park III'' collector's spoon.

''{The scorecard returns with "Stirring utensil: <u>JP3 Collector Spoon</u>".}''

==== 2. Sing a song ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, here goes. Two and three and four. ''{singing terribly while off-key music plays in the background, and Bubs covers his ears, agitated}'' Backyard peaches! Treats come true! Karate Summer, what wouldja do? The world is the egg, and diapers come true...

'''BUBS:''' Oh! Heard enough of that one! You... you get a chewed-up pen.

''{The scorecard returns with "Stirring utensil: <u>Chewed Up Pen</u>".}''

==== 3. Reagan impression ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{leaning over, in a low voice}'' Well... well... Nancy and I... economics... well... rap music... jellybeans... well... we... probably had a... pet...

'''BUBS:''' That's the worst Ronald Reagan impression I've ever heard!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{standing upright}'' ''Ronald'' Reagan?! I was doing my Keanu Reagan!

'''BUBS:''' Just take this terlet brush and get outta here!

''{The scorecard returns with "Stirring utensil: <u>Terlet Brush</u>".}''

===The magic words===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{walking off}'' Thanks, Great American Bubs!

''{Cut to a closeup of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now to find Strong Sad. Anything that guy says will make ''great'' magic words!

''{Cut to Strong Sad, half-buried and asleep. Homestar walks up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Sad. Nice fire hydrant costume!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh. Mineral water... ''{wakes up and looks at Homestar}'' What?

''{The choice box returns:}''

==== 1. I just graduated... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I just graduated. What should my epitaph say?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Homestar, do you even have half a brain?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hot biscuits! Those are the best magic words I've ever heards!

''{The scorecard appears with "Magic Words: <u>Do you even have half a brain</u>".}''

==== 2. If you were at a party... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If you were at a party, what would you rap?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Each day, we die a little more, yo! Betta ax somebod-ay!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh! Fresh beats! My favorite!

''{The scorecard appears with "Magic Words: <u>Better Ax Somebod-ay</u>".}''

==== 3. Taco-Man came by... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Taco-Man came by. We played a little foosball, played a little foosball. So, what are some of your favorite words?

'''STRONG SAD:''' In no particular order: Loquentia... Imbruglia... Precipitous... Saralee...cheesecake... Denouement...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Those are great!

''{The scorecard appears with "Magic Words: <u>Loquentia, Imbruglia, Precitpitous, Saraleecheesecake, Denouement</u>".}''

=== The potion ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks for the words, half-man! ''{walks off}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Go forward! Move ahead. Try to detect it! It's not too late.

''{Cut to Homestar's house, where Homestar and Marzipan are standing near a bubbling cauldron.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, so here's what I came up with: a bottle of ''{"Ghost," "Questionable," or "Stank"}'' water, ''{he throws the bottle into the cauldron}'' ''{"A secret blend of eleven Herbs and Spices," "Some Ground Ground," or "Some Powdered Thanksgiving"; it's thrown into the cauldron too}'', and essence of ''{"Doo Doo Meringue", "Putting Strong Mad's Hand in Warm Water while He's Asleep", or "Gullibility, whatever that is"; again, he throws it into the cauldron}''. ''{Pulls out the stirring utensil}'' And give a little stir with this ''{"Jurassic Park III Collector's Spoon", "Chewed Up Pen", or "Terlet Brush"}''. And say these magic words. ''{He hands an index card to Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{"Do you even have half a brain", "Better Ax Somebod-ay", or "Loquentia, Imbruglia, Precipitous, Saraleecheesecakia, Denouement"}''

''{The cauldron makes a "poof" sound and smoke emerges, and Marzipan dips a cup into it.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Here, Homestar. ''{hands the cup to Homestar and smiles}'' Have some Melonade!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't mind if I do! ''{He drinks the contents of the cup.}''

''{See the fun facts section to see how the endings scenes are chosen. These are the different effects on Homestar:}''

====End 1: Tofu Homestar====
''{After drinking the potion, Homestar turns into the Tofu version of himself as seen in [[The Luau]].}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yay, Homestar! You're back to your old self again!

''{The tofu head slides off into the cauldron and a flame covers Tofu Homestar, who reverts back to his regular self without his Halloween costume}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{disappointed}'' Yay, Homestar. You're back to your old self again...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing and shaking his butt}'' That costume makes your butt look big.

====End 2: Cycloptic Homestar====
''{Homestar suddenly loses his wig and sprouts one enormous eye on his face.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{yelps}'' Marzipan! There's only one of you!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Don't tell me you forgot how to use your eyes again.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Are you trying to tell me that I haven't been dating twins this whole time?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Um, I don't think you're gonna have to worry about dating anyone from now on.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hooray!

====End 3: French Homestar====
''{Homestar takes on the appearance of a suave foreigner.}''

''{Marzipan shrieks and runs off; Freaky Marzipan makes a silly face.}''

====End 5: The Goblin====
''{Homestar transforms into The Goblin.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ooh, he's so cute! Do it, do it, do it!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ...annd  scene!

=== The finale ===

''{The screen fades to black. After a few seconds, one of Homestar's bug drawings appears in the center of the screen with "THE END". After a few more seconds, the screen fades back to Spooky Woods.

===Trivia===
*The ducks and bugs Homestar drew on the potion are:

*The original potion read:
<div style="text-align:center; padding:8px; border: 1pt solid #000; width:300px">Halloween Potion<br/>1. Ghost-Water<br/>2. Powdered Pigs' Feet<br/>3. Essence of Nightroot<br/>Stir ingredients with a wooden spoon<br/>Say this magic incantation:<br/>
"Sip it down and swish it 'round"</div>
*This toon was released at about 1:30 a.m. on November 1, Atlanta time. All day the previous day, the [[Main Page Messages|button on the main page]] read, ''"workin' as fast as we can!"''. When the toon was finally released, the button read: ''"it's still halloween!"'' (when you moved your mouse over it, it switched to: ''"in certain timezones!"''). Later in the day, the button was changed to simply read: ''"halloween toon!"''
*The shirt Coach Z is wearing is from ''[[Wikipedia:The Cosby Show|The Cosby Show]]'''s first-season episode "[http://www.tv.com/the-cosby-show/a-shirt-story/episode/6802/summary.html A Shirt Story]," in which Denise tries to hand-make Theo a designer shirt and butchers it in the process. The fictitious brand of shirt was called a "Gordon Gartrelle," and the original cost Theo $95. The "Jammin' on the one" line is a reference to the episode "[http://www.tv.com/a-touch-of-wonder/episode/6836/summary.html|A Touch Of Wonder]," in which guest star [[Wikipedia:Stevie Wonder|Stevie Wonder]] sampled the voices of the Huxtable family and made them into a song.
* There are five endings to this toon. Which ending is seen is determined by adding together all the numbers of the choices made, dividing by five, taking the remainder (numbered zero to four), and adding one. Thus, if you choose 2, 1, 3, 3, and 2, you would get 2 + 1 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 11 / 5 = 2, remainder 1. Add 1 to that, and you get ending 2. (See the talk page for the source code.)
*If the remainder is:
:*0, then you see ending 1: Tofu Homestar. There are 53 combinations that yield this result.
::When the sum of the choices are 5, 10, or 15 this ending is displayed.
:*1, then you see ending 2: Cyclops Homestar. There are 50 combinations that yield this result.
::When the sum of the choices are 6 or 11 this ending is displayed.
:*2, then you see ending 3: French Homestar. There are 45 combinations that yield this result.
::When the sum of the choices are 7 or 12 this ending is displayed.
:*3, then you see ending 4: Freaky Marzipan. There are 45 combinations that yield this result.
::When the sum of the choices are 8 or 13 this ending is displayed.
:*4, then you see ending 5: The Goblin. There are 50 combinations that yield this result.
::When the sum of the choices are 9 or 14 this ending is displayed.
*The total number of possible sequences of potion ingredients is 3<sup>5</sup>, or 243.
*According to the [[Quote of the Week#2005-11-03|Quote of the Week]] on November 3, Bubs originally gave out an ''[[IMDb:tt0114781|Under Siege 2]]'' collector's spoon instead of the ''Jurassic Park III'' collector's spoon.
* The Flash file appears to have been updated 12 hours after the toon was originally released. The update expanded the Tofu Homestar scene, which originally ended immediately after Marzipan's line "You're back to your old self again!", before Tofu Homestar's head fell into the cauldron, but with the animation suggesting it was about to do so. The change was likely made to remove any suggestion that Homestar had "died" by being transformed into an inanimate object. The update also added an extra "THE END" scene and an Easter Egg (The Cheat). It is possible that these elements were originally planned for the original release but left out due to time constraints (see Trivia).

===Remarks===
* The pictures above Homestar's cabinet are changed for the holiday. They ordinarily show his changing appearance over the years. This time, they depict all his past [[Halloween Costumes|Halloween costumes]] from 2000 to the present.
* This is the first time Homestar is mentioned as having a middle name ("Michael") in a toon. (In the DVD commentary for [[time capsule]], however, Marzipan offhandedly remarked that Hal was his middle name.)
* All of the spooky trees in the background are the same shape, just in different sizes and orientations. Also, the first two backgrounds for Pom Pom, Coach Z, the Poopsmith, and the King of Town are identical.
* If Homestar does a dance for Bubs, Bubs will refer to Homestar as "Shorty", even though (unless you count Bubs' hat) Homestar is taller than Bubs is.
* Besides stealing Homestar's [[Witches' Brew]] "line," as Homestar points out, Bubs also appropriates the "terlet" pronunciation of "toilet" that Coach Z has used in [[Halloween Fairstival]] and [[A Folky Tale]]. This spelling shows up on the scorecard as well, but Homestar still pronounces it as "toilet" when he hands it over to Marzipan. Homestar's speech impediment causes a mispronunciation of the mispronunciation, making it correct again.
* Homestar's costume includes a pair of shoes. When Marzipan gives him his costume, however, the shoes do not appear to be included.
* Strong Bad comments on Homestar's Reagan impression even if you use one of the other choices.
** Also, when Strong Bad comments on his Reagan impression, Homestar agrees that he was impersonating Ronald Reagan and not Keanu Reagan.
* When not wearing a costume, Bubs has no thumbs. Mysteriously, though, the thumbs on his white boxing gloves seem to move like he does.
* When Strong Bad said "burying our troubles", he was probably referring to half-buried Strong Sad.

===Goofs===
*[[Wikipedia:Gossamer_(Looney_Tunes)|Gossamer]] is actually red, not the bright orange color of Strong Mad's costume.
*When Strong Bad's cabinet doors are open, they appear to be symmetrical; they shouldn't be able to fit together when closed.
*When he looks directly into the camera, Strong Bad's left eye seems to jut a little into the V-shape on his mask.
*Homestar's [[Wikipedia:Chuck Taylor All-Stars|Converse All-Star Hi-Tops]] have stars on both sides of each shoe, when they should have stars [http://www.martyshoes.com/store/media/con-s049622-9160men500.jpg only on the inner side].
*When The Cheat pushes the television off of the edge of the cliff, the dent on the top is towards the right. When it lands, however, the dent has switched sides.
*If you choose "I'm in the mood for a..." when getting the Essence, the line disappears when it cuts back to the cliff.

===Glitches===
*You can see a "hiccup" in the animation of the pot's bubbling when the cartoon switches to one of the variables in the combination you made.
*Unlike the other characters, Homsar shows scroll-over information during the finale Easter eggs even while the rest of the characters comment on their costumes. This is because he is a movie clip that overlays the scene.
*When you click on The Cheat at the end, Strong Bad's head changes size and his mouth closes a bit, and everybody moves slightly.
*When clicking on most of the characters that activate Easter Eggs at the end, Marzipan's mouth changes expression unexpectedly.
*When Marzipan's angry expression is used, blinking causes her outline to be intruded.

Perhaps the Brothers Chaps have decided to repay the favor. (As a side note, the Halloween special that Ebolaworld had planned for the same year was also a choose-your-own adventure cartoon.)
*The secret blend of eleven herbs and spices is a reference to [[wikipedia:KFC|KFC's]] claim that [[Wikipedia:Colonel Sanders|Colonel Sanders']] recipe had eleven secret herbs and spices, although it curiously does not claim that this is the recipe in current use.
*[[Wikipedia:Windex|Windex]] is a trademark for a liquid glass and surface cleaning product made by [[Wikipedia:S. C. Johnson & Son|S. C. Johnson & Son]].
*Homsar throwing the confetti is a reference to his costume ([[Wikipedia:Tingle|Tingle]]), who also throws confetti when he says the magic words ("Tingle, Tingle, Kooloo-limpah!").
*[[Wikipedia:Hoisin Sauce|Hoisin sauce]], a fermented soy bean paste, is used as a condiment and also as a glaze for roasted meats, most commonly with [[Wikipedia:Peking Duck|Peking Duck]]. It is often referred to as "Chinese barbecue sauce."
*"THAT'S A LOT! A LOT! A LOT! A LOT!" is a reference to the bank teller in ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'' for the [[Nintendo#Nintendo 64|Nintendo 64]], who said it if you deposited more than fifty rupees all at once. This was the first game that Tingle appeared in, so it's quite appropriate.
*Homsar's line ("location, location, location") refers to the three most important things in [[Wikipedia:real estate|real estate]]. His costume character, Tingle, serves to help Link navigate by selling him maps in ''The Legend of Zelda'' series.
*Rose petal essence was an ingredient for the spell to turn into an eagle or fly in ''[[Wikipedia:King's Quest III|King's Quest III]]''. Especially given this allusion, the whole premise of the cartoon is likely based on the formulaic combination of ingredients, stirring, and magic words required to perform the [http://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/the_fairway/game_pages/kings_quest_3.html spells] in King's Quest III.
*[http://www.hovan.com Hovan] is a restaurant chain in Florida and Georgia, located in mall food courts, that sell [[Wikipedia:Gyro|gyro-style]] wraps.

*Bubs' quote "Baby, you've got a [[Witches' Brew|witches' brew]] goin'" is a reference to the television show ''[[Wikipedia:Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'', where [[Wikipedia:Carl Weathers|Carl Weathers]], the actor who played [[Wikipedia:Apollo Creed|Apollo Creed]], portrays himself as extremely cheap, and sometimes comments that if certain leftover foods are combined, "Baby, you've got a stew goin'."
* Bubs' comment about "Stick and move! Stick and move!" is a reference to the advice Duke gave Apollo Creed in [[IMDb:0075148|the original Rocky movie]]. [http://www.filmsite.org/rock5.html]
*''[[wikipedia:Jurassic Park III|Jurassic Park III]]'' is a movie in the ''[[wikipedia:Jurassic Park|Jurassic Park]]'' series.
*[[wikipedia:Ronald Reagan|Ronald Reagan]] was a movie actor and the 40th president of the United States. "Nancy" refers to his widow, [[wikipedia:Nancy Reagan|Nancy Reagan]]. [[Wikipedia:Jelly beans|Jelly beans]] were famously one of Reagan's favorite foods. Reagan was also known for usually starting his statements with the word "well." He was famous for his economic policies, called "[[Wikipedia:Reaganomics|Reaganomics]]." He also did have [[Wikipedia:List_of_presidential_pets|pets]], among them a [[Wikipedia:Cavalier_king_charles_spaniel|Cavalier King Charles Spaniel]] named [[Wikipedia:Rex (dog)|Rex]].

*Homestar's line "I just graduated. What should my epitaph say?" is a reference to the theme of many high school graduation speakers of "What will your epitaph say?"
*Homestar Runner's repeating himself, such as "We played a little foosball, played a little foosball," is very similar to the way the character Jimmy Two Times speaks in the [[Wikipedia:Martin Scorsese|Martin Scorsese]] film [[Wikipedia:Goodfellas|Goodfellas]] (e.g., "I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers.").
*[[Wikipedia:Natalie Imbruglia|Natalie Imbruglia]] is an Australian-born singer and actress. However, Strong Sad and Marzipan both mispronounce her last name (the "g" is silent).
*"[[Wikipedia:Sara Lee|Sara Lee]]" is an American consumer-goods company and is also the brand name of a number of frozen and packaged foods, including cheesecake.
*Strong Sad's words as Homestar departs are taken from [[Wikipedia:Devo|Devo]]'s 1980 hit "Whip It."
*[[Wikipedia:Lando Calrissian|Lando Calrissian]] is a character from the ''[[Wikipedia:Star Wars|Star Wars]]'' films, played by [[Wikipedia:Billy Dee Williams|Billy Dee Williams]]. Some people (including, apparently, Homestar) mistakenly think that Lando and Apollo Creed were played by the same actor, but Apollo Creed was played by Carl Weathers.
*Walter Sobchak is a character from ''[[The Big Lebowski]]'', played by [[Wikipedia:John Goodman|John Goodman]]. The severed toe with nail polish is a plot device in this movie; Sobchak even says the line, "I can get you a toe, with nail polish," as does Coach Z on Pom Pom's behalf. "You're entering a world of pain" and "DONNY, YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT!" (said on behalf of Pom Pom by Homestar and Strong Mad respectively) were also repeated sayings of Sobchak's in the movie. Also, at one point in the movie Walter inappropriately draws a gun.
*[[wikipedia:Oliver Cromwell|Oliver Cromwell]] was a 17th century English military commander who became Lord Protector after leading the rebellion that resulted in the execution of Charles I. Homestar throws it in because it includes "-well", though it's possible he ''meant'' to say [[Wikipedia:Oliver North|Oliver North]], a prominent figure in the [[Wikipedia:Iran Contra Affair|Iran Contra Affair]].
*The surprisingly high jump The Cheat makes is the effect of getting hit by a shell, invincible character, etc., in the Nintendo 64 game ''[[Wikipedia:Mario Kart 64|Mario Kart 64]]'', in which the kart landed with a similar "POOMP". Also, the respective noises The Cheat makes sound very close to what Toad says when he wins a race ("I'm the best!") as well as Toad's cries when he has been hit.
*[[Wikipedia:The Golden Girls|The Golden Girls]] was a popular sitcom about four elderly women living in Miami that originally aired on NBC. Blanche, mentioned in the cartoon, is one of the main characters of the show. Strong Bad mentioned them in [[helium]].

''{We see a sign with a color-changing background. Written across it are these words:}''

'''FBI WARNING'''

This cartoon is pretty old. It was the first cartoon we ever made. Homestar is not very funny and neither is Strong Bad. They are mere shadows of the men they have become. This cartoon has not been on the site for many months, but we have had several requests(from our Dad) to put it back. So here it is. Consider yourselves warned.

''{Show opening credits. Cut to inside Marshmallow's Last Stand. Homestar and Pom Pom sit at a table each with a marshmallow.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' These are some great marshmallows, eh, Pom Pom? ...Why don't you look over there, for no reason.

''{Pom Pom bubbles and looks and Homestar sucks up Pom Pom's marshmallow. He chews it up and takes a bite of his own. Suddenly, heavy metal music plays in the background as Strong Bad and Strong Mad walk up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, look at the babies! Eating their marshmallows.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh-oh, it's The Brothers Strong, Strong Bad and Strong Mad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You better believe it, man. We're the greatest tag team wrestlers in the world! ''{Strong Mad nods}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's great, Strong Bad! Have a good time.

'''POM POM:''' ''{Bubbles over Homestar's line}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, you morones ''{"morons" with Strong Bad's old, affected Mexican accent}''. We're challenging you to the tag team match!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hmm... no thanks.

''{Both Strong Bad and Strong Mad get angry. They both growl.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, you gimme this!

''{He takes Homestar's star from his shirt.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey! Gimme back my star!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Of course, but first you have to beat us in the ring!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What do you say, Pom Pom, old friend?

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles in agreement}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're on!

''{Cut to outside a stadium. Crowds go in. We see a closeup of the door. There is a poster that says: "War for the Star Tonight!!! 8:30 PM." The scene changes to the ring.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{heavy echo}'' Ladies and gentlemen, good evening and welcome to The War for the Star! In this corner, at a combined weight of one million pounds, hailing from Parts Unknown, The Brothers Strong, Strong Mad and Strong Bad! ''{Each fall into the ring as his name is called}'' And now, the hometown favorites, with a combined weight of one hundred and four pounds, Homestar Runner and Pom Pom! ''{A light shines on each one as his name is called.}''

''{We see the crowd cheering. In the crowd are Mr. Bland, Señor, Marzipan, Bubs, Coach Z, The King of Town, The Poopsmith, The Robot, Strong Sad, and other various people. Señor is wearing a giant styrofoam hand; Mr. Bland is holding a sign that says "Wrestling Mania!!!"; and The Poopsmith is holding a sign that says "I'm #2". The bell rings and Homestar takes down Strong Bad with a flying kick to the head. Strong Bad gets up, but Homestar knocks him to the ground with the same kick, and then body slams him. Strong Bad tags in Strong Mad, who enters the ring.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh-oh!

''{Strong Mad grabs Homestar by the legs and proceeds to slam him on the ground. He tosses Homestar out of the ring. Pom Pom gets angry and vaults over the top rope into the ring, but lands on Strong Mad's fist. Strong Mad beats him against the boxing ring floor repeatedly, and Pom Pom falls over. Strong Mad climbs to the top turnbuckle and gets ready to deliver the finishing move.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pom, look out!

'''POM POM:''' ''{winks at Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Huh?

''{Strong Mad jumps off the turnbuckle and splashes onto Pom Pom, but is bounced into space. Strong Bad and Homestar re-enter the ring and Homestar bounces off of the ropes into Strong Bad, taking him out by smashing his head into Strong Bad's face. Strong Bad gets up. We see a close up of Homestar's face while music from "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" starts playing. We also see a close up of Strong Bad with the same music. Strong Bad attempts a windmill punch but Homestar kicks his stomach and tosses him out of the ring. Strong Bad grabs a lit bomb from under the ring while mumbling incoherently. He gets back into the ring and shoves the bomb down Homestar's throat and punches Homestar's belly.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Homestar's stomach gurgles}''Ooh, I ate too many marshmallows... ''{His face turns green and he pukes the bomb and some marshmallowy goo onto Strong Bad's head, where it sticks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{running around frantically}'' AUGH! Getitoffme getitoffme getitoffme!

''{The bomb explodes. When the dust clears, we see Homestar standing atop of Strong Bad. Strong Bad has a chunk missing from his head.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' One! Two! Three! ''{The crowd cheers. Strong Mad falls back into the ring.}'' Ladies and gentlemen, your winners, Homestar Runner and Pom Pom!

''{We see a black-and-white picture of Homestar Runner and Pom Pom, labeled "Winners"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now how about my star back, Strong Bad?

''{Frustrated, Strong Bad tears up Homestar's star while muttering something inaudible and Strong Mad nods. Homestar kicks Strong Bad, who now lies on the ground with stars of confusion floating around his head. Homestar kicks one of the stars to himself so he can grab it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Homestar....RUN!

''{He jumps up and the star of pain becomes a star on his shirt. The end!}''

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*According to [[l33t Interview|a 2001 interview with Stephan of WTFiml33t.com]], the reason this toon was taken off the site was quote: "The characters are completely different. Saying and doing things they'd never do now." However, in [[Club Aquatica Interview - 29 Oct 2003|the 2003 Club Aquatica interview]], it's mentioned that The Brothers Chaps "can’t disclose why they're off, it's a personal reason."
*The Poopsmith's sign reads "I'm #2." #2 is also a slang term for [[Whatsit|whatsit]].

===Trivia===
*The [[Hanging Objects#From Marshmallow's Last Stand|framed sign]] behind Homestar Runner changes continually in the restaurant. The order which they are shown in is:
**Nice to Meat You (picture of a [[Steak|steak]])
**Lettuce Pray (picture of lettuce)
**Get Toasted (picture of [[Bread|toast]] with [[Butter|butter]])
**Say Cheese (picture of cheese)
**Get Toasted (picture of toast)
**Eggs-Treme (picture of fried [[Eggs|eggs]])
**Pie-Fect!! (picture of a slice of [[Pie|pie]])
**Say Cheese (picture of a slice of cheese)
**Lettuce Pray (picture of a head of lettuce)
**Nice to Meat You (picture of a steak)
*According to Pom Pom's Character video, he weighs 4 pounds. Combining this fact with Pom Pom and Homestar's combined weight according to this toon, Homestar weighs 100 pounds.
*According to a now non-existent comment in the Homestar Runner Museum, this was the first Homestar Runner cartoon to use voice acting. Notice how much each character's voice has developed since then.
*With Strong Bad's south-of-the-border accent and wrestling mask, [[The Brothers Chaps]] parody [[Wikipedia:Luchador|lucha libre]]-style wrestling.
*In this toon, Homestar Runner has a hint of a southern accent. TBC are from Georgia.
*The camera angle changes more in this toon than in any other.
*This cartoon was co-written and co-directed by [[Chad Eikhoff]].
*In this cartoon, Strong Mad has visible chest hair on several occasions.
*Homestar Runner has stars on the treads of his sneaker soles.
*Strong Mad, The Poopsmith, and The King of Town all first appear in this toon.

===Goofs===
*The Announcer begins speaking before the microphone is lowered to him, and once the microphone is lowered his voice isn't any louder.
*Although Homestar's star has five points, Strong Bad appears to tear the star into four triangular pieces.
*Strong Bad's pants turn blue when Homestar wrestles Strong Mad. When Strong Bad steps back in the ring, they are black again.
**His pants are also blue near the end of the toon, after the Brothers Strong lose and are standing at the side of the ring while the Announcer is announcing Homestar and Pom Pom as the winners.
*When the Strongs first jump into the ring, Strong Mad looks unusually short.
*When Homestar says, "Hey! Give me back my star," his voice sounds a little cut off at the beginning.
*Almost all of the sound effects can be heard slightly before we see the actions causing them.
*After Strong Bad's face explodes from the bomb, the marshmallow on his face changes with every shot. The last time he is shown, he has no marshmallow on his face at all.
*When Homestar jumps up to grab the gold star and says "Homestar....RUN!", Strong Bad doesn't scroll down with the rest of the floor while he is lying down.
*When Strong Bad grabs the bomb from under the ring, you can notice on the left of Strong Bad's hands, the blue is overlapping his face, and to the right of his hands, his hand's outline extends into the blue.
*The entire toon is poorly voice synched.
*Sometimes, when the ring is zoomed out far enough, you can see in the top left corner where the graphics for the audience end before the frame.
*When Homestar says "Homestar...RUN!" his mouth doesn't move.
*The final screen is in two slightly, but noticeably, different shades of orange.
*Homestar's star is off-line; you can still see some parts where it isn't red.
*When the Brothers Strong enter the stand, their silhouettes show them facing the viewer, not Homestar and Pom Pom.

===Real-World References===
* Strong Bad's "You better believe it, man!" sounds almost identical to the same phrase uttered by Jesus Quintana (played by [[Wikipedia:John Turturro|John Turturro]]) in the movie ''[[The Big Lebowski]]''.
* The rainbow-colored warning is most likely a reference to Paramount Pictures' old FBI warning. It is used in the [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]].
* "The War for the Star" is a parody of boxing matches with rhyming titles (e.g. "[[Wikipedia:Rumble in the Jungle|Rumble in the Jungle]]", "[[Wikipedia:Thrilla in Manila|The Thrilla in Manila]]").
* The Announcer says Strong Bad hails from Parts Unknown. Having more exotic characters (especially masked wrestlers, like Strong Bad) coming from "Parts Unknown" has been pretty standard in wrestling for decades. For example, the Ultimate Warrior and Kane were said to be from Parts Unknown.
* Mr. Bland is holding a sign that says "Wrestling Mania." This is quite likely a reference to the annual [[Wikipedia:Wwe|WWE]] event of [[Wikipedia:WrestleMania|WrestleMania]].
* The music played when Homestar and Strong Bad are staring each other down comes from the movie ''[[imdb:tt0060196|The Good, the Bad and the Ugly]]''.
* The largely ineffective "windmill punch" Strong Bad tries to use on Homestar has actually been used in real life to similar comedic effect, during one of the wrestling matches comedian [[Wikipedia:Andy Kaufman|Andy Kaufman]] staged with professional wrestler [[Wikipedia:Jerry Lawler|Jerry "The King" Lawler]]. The sound effect used during the toon was taken from the PC game [[Wikipedia:SimCopter|Sim Copter]].

=== Fast Forward ===
*The [[Sound Effects|sound]] played when Strong Mad flies into space is used again much later in the [[Powered by The Cheat]] cartoon, "[[New Boots]]", the Strong Bad Email, "[[keep cool]]", and in "[[narrator]]", when [[Nebulon]] leaves.
*The sound played when Homestar is being slammed about by Strong Mad is the same sound used in the game [[Bronco Trolleys]], and also when [[Eh! Steve]] jumps off-screen.
*The music played at the end is also used in [[Old Intro 2]]. It is also heard remixed in [[flashback]] after Strong Bad wins his very own The Cheat.
*This type of art, animation and comedy was parodied in the emails [[personal favorites]] and [[lady...ing]].
*The [[Fonts|font]] used for the 1, 2, 3 count that appears when Homestar pins Strong Bad to the ground is the same as the [[Tandy 400]] font (which is Westminster).
*Homestar's comment on having eaten too many marshmallows mirrors a similar lamentation on drinking too many melonades in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].
*Two of the scenes from this toon were exaggerated in [[Exaggerations]].

== DVD Version ==
*The poor synching of the dialogue and the sound effects is much worse than on the website.
*The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
*The music from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is replaced with custom music, however you can still hear it during the commentary.

Why Come Only One Girl?

2006-11-06T07:06:24Z

FlapperPrower: /* Fun Facts */

[[Image:Onlyonegirl.png|thumb|"The Marzipan says... I'm the only girl!"]]
'''Why Come Only One Girl?''' is a bonus feature on [[Everything Else, Volume 2]]. It documents the history of why Marzipan is the only girl in the Homestar Runner universe.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' Narrator from [[space program]], {{Film|Marzipan}}, {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, Preshy, Rafferdy, Scrandina, {{Film|The Cheat}}, The Hurricane, {{Film|Strong Bad}}

'''Running Time:''' 4:03

==Transcript==
''{Open to a pull-cord game. The cord is pulled and the arrow lands on Marzipan. Zoom in slowly to the Marzipan rectangle.}''

'''A PULL-CORD GAME:''' The Marzipan says...

'''MARZIPAN:''' I'm the only girl!

'''NARRATOR:''' The only girl indeed. But that wasn't always the intention. Just how close did the Homestar Runner universe come to ''gaining'' a second female character? Join me on my magical flying peanut butter-powered sleigh ''{Cut to a sleigh with peanut butter jars for engines. The sleigh takes off.}'' and we'll take a journey through the past to discover— ''{Cut to the sad puppy from "space program"}

'''NARRATOR:''' Why Come Only One Girl? ''{The words appear around the puppy. A blond hair wig plops onto the puppy's head.}''

''{Cut to the party background for the Dancin' Bubs game. Zoom in slowly to the girl behind Marzipan.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' In the year 2000, the closest thing to another female character could be found in one of the backgrounds for the Dancin' Bubs game. This is Champeen. ''{Her name box appears. Schetchbook drawings of Champeen scroll onto the screen.}'' Originally intended to be the female equivilant of Homestar Runner, Champeen would never make it out of this backgroud, nor would the weasily know-it-all, Homeschool Winner. ''{A spotlight pops open and illuminates Homeschool.}'' ''{softly}'' Boy, I'd like to clean his clock... ''{A still shot appears of Homeschool winning a "quiz bowl", with a giant #1 trophy to his left.}''

''{Cut to a pink striped background. Sketches of another female character scroll in.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' The next attempt at bringing a new girl into the fold would be this little adorable angel thing, Preshy. Along with her brother Rafferdy, Preshy was going to be introduced in the unfinished cartoon, "Those Darn Cousins".

''{Cut to the title screen of Those Darn Cousins. The toon begins with music. A small circle cuts through the title screen, showing a piece of chalk moving along something green. The scene opens to Homestar Runner chalking a circle around a red X in the field. Marzipan approaches.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hiya, Homestar. Whatcha doin'?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' None of your business, stupid!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{lowers eyebrows}'' Humph! ''{Walks away.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{apologetically}'' Oh wait, I mean, waiting for my cousins to get here; I'm sorry I always get those two things mixed up!

''{A box falls from the sky with a whistling sound onto the X. Homestar opens the top of the box and peeks inside and sees his two young cousins.}''

'''RAFFERDY:''' Hello, Uncle Homestar.

'''PRESHY:''' Hi, Uncle Homestar!

'''RAFFERDY:''' Hi, ''{unintelligibly}'' Homestar!!

'''PRESHY:''' ''{giggles}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, guys! How was your flight?

''{Preshy and Rafferdy jump out of the box, knock Homestar down and stand on top of him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Unh!

'''PRESHY:''' ''{unintelligible}'' —on your head.

'''RAFFERDY:''' Uncle Homestar, are you scared?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, a little.

'''PRESHY:''' ''{squeals}'' Dah! ''{jumps up; squeals again}'' Ahh! ''{jumps again}''

''{Cut to Homestar standing up. Preshy and Rafferdy are standing around him, holding a guitar and a pitchfork, respectively.}''

'''RAFFERDY:''' ''{pokes Homestar in the stomach with the pitchfork}'' What's this thing? What does this ''do''?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think that's obvious.

'''PRESHY:''' I'm gonna bonk you, Homestar. ''{Lifts the guitar up and smashes it through Homestar's head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oof! ''{stars swirl and birds chirp}''

'''RAFFERDY:''' Are we gonna have a band, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{stunned}'' Sure, Rafferdy. I'll be lead guitar.

''{Fade to black. Fade in showing Homestar tied to railroad tracks. Preshy and Rafferdy are standing near him.}''

'''PRESHY:''' I love you, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I have a hard time believing that.

'''RAFFERDY:''' ''{squeals}'' Dah!! Yaah!! I screamed a lot of times. Aaeehhh!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{exhausted}'' Nice work, kid.

''{Fade to black. A text that reads, "Unfinished, see?" fades in.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' The cartoon was abandoned in favor of... oh, I dunno, a second batch of fortune cookies ''{the fortune cookies game is shown}'' or something equally hilarious. ''{A fortune cookie opens, revealing the fortune, "This is a really bad fortune."}''

''{Fade to an electric orange background with white outlines of Cheerleader, So and So, What's Her Face, and The Ugly One.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' With the invention of the Teen Girl Squad more than a year away, things were looking dire for the ladytypes in Homestar Runner Land. ''{Many sketches of female characters scroll across the screen.}'' So began a concerted effort to create a new female character and put her in a cartoon.

'''NARRATOR:''' But there were many questions: What should she look like? Should she be a dull human? Should she have cloven feet or hands? If she were to wear a burlap sack, should it say "potatoes", "potate", or simply have a picture of a potato on it? And what would she be called?

''{A list from the sketchbook displays the rejected names: Polenda, Panta, Esteen, Polentia, Ladyfinger, Saragraham, Melda, Shimmie, Sissy, Kurla, Broccoli Carrot, Sister Supreme, Mandy Candy, Sugar Shine, Sister Sweet, Bandy, 'Sup, Tesa Tessa}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{sketchbook examples of the following appear}'' Buttershine? Pou Baby? Sister Sue? Elkfoot? What would she sound like? Can Melissa ''do'' a different voice?

''{Cut to The Cheat standing in the field next to a drawing of a girl torn out of a sketchbook, named Scrandina.}''

'''SCRANDINA:''' ''{in Melissa Palmer's Marzipan voice}'' I'm not Marzipan!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{screams with his arms in the air and runs away.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' That answers that question!

''{Cut to a blue background.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' Finally this corn-dog-cotton-candy-looking lady was settled on as the design, ''{four sketches of the female are shown}'' though it's unclear what name was chosen for her. I'm hoping it was "The Hurricane". ''{Another sketch of the female is shown with the name in the subtitle}'' She even made it off the sketchbook and into Flash.

''{Cut to Homestar and Marzipan standing in the field. The female drops into place between them.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' She was placed in this scene, prepped for animation, and then a new Legend of Zelda game probably came out and she was never heard from again. ''{The female pops out of existance.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Why, Ganondorf?! Why?!

''{Homestar takes a small bottle and swipes Marzipan into it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hup! Doo doo doo doooo!

''{A yellow notice flashes, "YOU CAUGHT A MARZIPAN!"}''

''{Cut to a silhouette of all the main characters except Homsar standing in the field. The characters are slowly illuminated while a "?" flashes.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' Since it seems increasingly unlikely that we'll see another girl character in our lifetime, we can only imagine what it would be like if any of these gals ''{sketchbook examples appear}'' showed up in a Homestar Runner... ''cartoon!''

''{Cut with a "boop!" to Strong Bad standing at The Stick next to a rejected character with "smug" on her abdomen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —my style. ''{gets slapped}'' Ouh!

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

'''MIKE:''' I don’t have to tell ya Matt, this is our second try at doing the commentary for this cartoon.

'''MATT:''' Let’s talk about the Spin ‘n Say.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, you mean my favorite game on homestarrunner.com website?

'''MATT:''' I remember for the “the something says” voice I did a bunch of weird stuff to it in whatever sound editing program we were using at the time to make it sound extra crappy.

'''MIKE:''' Mmm hmm.

'''MATT:''' And it’s— it sounds extra crappy.

'''MIKE:''' It does! It sounds nice n— nice ‘n crappy.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Mike was talking to me about how he thinks ''{laughs}'' that dog is wha— that dog is anima—

'''MIKE:''' This guy’s voice.

'''MATT:''' The narrator, yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Because he’s also in the Strong Bad Email all about space— the space program, and there’s a film strip that has this voice and the dog’s in that too.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' It’s really the only common thread between the two.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' So this is all about the girls, Mike. Girl characters that we tried to make for years now.

'''MIKE:''' And that Champeen was she was early too. I mean, yeah, she was ’99 maybe—

'''MATT:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' 2000 at the latest.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' And most of these actually were probably 2000, 2001.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, ‘cause this uh— most of these were from a second batch, a second sort of try at making a new, female character. This, ‘cause yeah you started this uh, a while ago.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' A couple weeks ago— ''{laughs}'' No, this was cartoon you can tell from Marzipan— you added Marzipan’s new mouth to this, though, I see.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I did.

'''MATT:''' It doesn’t have the crappy old mouth. And old fat body Homestar.

'''MIKE:''' So this was an old cartoon that we had started, most of this animation was done, but none of the dialogue had been recorded. And there’s some ''{laughs}'' the voices of some cute kids. Our— our niece and nephew did the voices for us. ''{pause until Preshy screams}'' um—

'''MATT:''' It was very fun recording this with them.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I’m still enjoying watchin’ it, that’s why I’m not saying anything.

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

'''MIKE:''' But anyway this was the premise of the cartoon that we were gonna make. It was Homestar’s cousins come and they’re—

'''MATT:''' And they call him Uncle Homestar.

'''MIKE:''' And they call him Uncle Homestar for no reason and then they—

'''MATT:''' —terrorize him.

'''MIKE:''' —terrorize him but when anyone else is around is around they’re really sweet to him so everybody else thinks his cousins are real sweet but he’s trying to convince everybody they’re—

'''MATT:''' They’re trying to kill him.

'''MIKE:''' —the royal terrors.

'''MATT:''' ''{in Homestar’s voice}'' Mmm! I screamed a lot a times!

''{Pause until the Fortune Cookies game is shown.}''

'''MIKE''': Oh— Oh wait! ''This'' is my favorite game ''{Matt laughs}'' on homestarrunner.com!

'''MATT:''' So many games, it’s just like what Strong Bad said recently about trading card games being more like trading card activities.

'''MIKE:''' Or goings-on. Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Uh, yeah so that’s a reason why we kind of stopped with the— the Teen Girl Squad came out and that kind of became the new female outlet. You know people say there’s only one girl on homestartunner.com but really there’s— very positive female role models—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' —in the Teen Girl Squad.

'''MIKE:''' For some reason Matt wanted them to be half deer.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' I was way into drawing a cloven— cloven feet at that time. Reading— reading a lot of Hellboy, maybe. ''{short pause}'' That’s a real list— all these drawings are real from a— a sketchbook from a long time ago and that’s a real list of names. Tessa, I think Scrandina, is pretty good. ''{short pause; Missy says, "I'm not Marzipan!"}'' This wa— I felt kind of bad asking Melissa to record that line, I don’t think that she kind of got that we were making fun of her inability—

'''MIKE:''' Lack of range.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

''{Both laugh.}''

'''MATT:''' Craig did that one with the car— with the guitar there. ''{short pause}'' The one-legged popsicle one would have been— would heave been interesting to see how she worked.

''{Pause until the narrator mentions the Legend of Zelda game.}''

'''MIKE:''' Probably Wind Waker.

'''MATT:''' Wind Waker, yeah.

''{Pause until Homestar catches Marzipan in a jar.}''

'''MATT:''' Oh. You can use that later when you run out of energy; the Marzipan flies out and fills up half your hearts. ''{pause until get to group shot}'' Where’s Homsar and tha— that’s the core eleven, that’s not the core twelve. Homsar wasn’t in there. He’s hiding somewhere—

'''MIKE:''' Usually an Easter egg.

'''MATT:''' You have to click on the Poopsmith.

'''MIKE:''' He’s still an Easter egg from characters page.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that’s true.

''{Short pause until scene cuts from one girl slapping Strong Bad to another.}''

'''MIKE:''' Boop!

'''MATT:''' Do it again, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Boop!

'''MATT:''' Good job.

'''MIKE:''' I—

'''MATT:''' P-Butt.

'''MIKE:''' P-Butt! ''{laughs, then pause until the end}''

'''Page Title:''' Sponsored by Dolly Madison!

==Transcript==

''{A "SPECIAL" logo appears on the screen and spins a few times as we zoom in on it. As this happens, it turns from blue to pink.}''

''{Music plays in the background. A calendar appears for the month of December, with most of the days crossed out in red X's. December 21st and 22nd (Friday and Saturday) become crossed out, then the camera zooms in on Sunday the 23rd. A title appears: "A new Homestar cartoon written and animated by the Brethren Chaps." This title is crossed out with a red X, and the camera pans to Monday the 24th. Another title appears: "Voices by Matt C. and Missy P." This title is then crossed out, and the camera pans to Tuesday the 25th, which is already labeled "Decemberween". This day is circled in red, and additional words appear, making the title read: "The Best Decemberween Ever". Fade out.}''

''{Fade outside, next to Homestar's house, where it is snowing. The background music continues to play. Homestar walks out of his house wearing a brown hunter's hat. He walks a short distance and behind a brick wall, stopping next to Strong Sad, who is leaning on the wall. The music slowly fades out.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Sighs twice, with his breath visible. A long pause, and then he sighs again.}''

''' STRONG SAD:''' What's the matter, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Surprised}'' Oh! Strong Sad! I can't decide what to get Strong Bad for Decemberween.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh... What do you mean?

''{Cut to a wide shot with Homestar and Strong Sad silhouetted.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I know he's kind of a jerk sometimes, and he says "holy crap" a lot, but I think if I get him the perfect present, he just might like me again.

''{Cut to a close-up of Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' What? People get presents for Decemberween? I always just get locked in the bathtub!

''{Cut to the original shot of both characters.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... Right. Uh... I gotta go. ''{Homestar dashes off, temporarily leaving a cloud shaped like himself behind.}''

''{Cut to Coach Z and Homestar walking in front of some trees. The trees have signs on them.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Well, Homestar, I'll tell ya. Buying a Decemberween present for Strong Bad is like a great sports play.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let me guess. I can't just rush into the score zone.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{stops and turns around}'' Hey, that's right!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{frustrated}'' Coach! That's your answer for everything!

'''COACH Z:''' Oh. ''{pauses, then holds up a bottle of blue mouthwash}'' Mouthwarsh? ''{begins gulping mouthwash down}''

''{Cut to Homestar and Marzipan in her house. Marzipan is wearing a green dress instead of her normal purple dress, and she is drawing protest signs.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...and then he said it was like a great sports play. And I didn't even think that applies to this situation.

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's great, Homestar. ''{starts writing on a blank sign: "DEC"}'' Why don't you just get him a shirt? He doesn't seem to have very many of those.

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, I'm pretty sure he enjoys going topless.

''{The camera zooms back out.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, you could get him a sponge, or a Jew's harp, or you could make some him some Chex party mix... ''{by now, she has written "DECEMBER WEEN KILLS"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No way, those are terrible ideas.

''{Zoom in to Homestar's face again}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{laughing}'' Like, I don't even want to see what you got me this year. ''{chuckles}''

''{Cut to a close-up of Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{turning to Homestar angrily}'' Why don't you go bother somebody else?!

''{She drops her completed sign. Cut back to the original shot of Homestar and Marzipan. The new sign reads: "DECEMBER WEEN KILLS BUNNIES"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now that's a good idea!

''{The background music starts up again. Cut to a silhouette of Homestar walking among some trees, which sway back and forth in the wind. Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand, which has lights and holiday decorations all over it. Homestar walks up.}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey there, Homestar, what can I do for you on this fine holiday?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I can't find a freakin' present for Strong Bad.

'''BUBS:''' Well, you know what Coach Z says...

''{Zoom in on Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{annoyed, and leaning back}'' Yes, I know! I know!

''{Zoom back out.}''

'''BUBS:''' Oh, well, take a look around. I got all types of crazy crap!

''{Zoom in on Homestar again.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{holds up a NES cartridge: ''Tag Team Wrestling''}'' No... ''{tosses it away, holds up a pair of gold, sparkling oven mitts with "SB" written in cursive letters}'' No... ''{tosses the gloves away, pulls out a Strong Sad voodoo doll with pins sticking out of it}'' Uh, are you allowed to sell this? ''{tosses the doll away, holds up a "Frampton Comes Alive" poster with an autograph addressed to Strong Bad}'' No...

''{Cut to a silhouette of Bubs' Concession Stand as seen from the side. The items Homestar discarded are lying in a pile behind him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{holds up a rectangular object}'' That's it! This is the perfect present!

''{Cut to a field with snow-covered trees in the background. The camera pans right to show several of the characters opening or exchanging gifts. Strong Mad and The Cheat are the first to appear. The Cheat opens a gift and his head explodes. Marzipan pans into the shot, followed by Coach Z in the foreground.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{opens her gift, a Coach Z scratch n' sniff 2002 calendar}'' Coach Z, this is nasty.

'''COACH Z:''' That's okay. Smell Orctober!

''{Camera continues panning, revealing Strong Bad and Pom Pom, and Homestar standing in the foreground. Strong Bad is wearing yellow earmuffs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{holds up his gift and shakes it}'' Okay, let's see what we got from Homestar here...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Open it! Open it! That one's from me. It took me forever to pick it out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{opens his gift, which turns out to be a ''[[imdb:tt0120647|Deep Impact]]'' DVD}'' What?! The ''Deep Impact'' DVD?! You got me this for like the last three years, man!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I know! And you liked it so much, I decided to get it for you again!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man! This is the worst Decemberween ever!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{simultaneously}'' This is the best Decemberween ever!

''{Cut to black, then fade back in to the field. All of the main characters except Strong Sad and Homsar are gathered together. During each chorus, everyone sings except The Poopsmith and Pom Pom. The Cheat squeaks along with the music, and Coach Z pronounces Decemberween as "Decemberwern".}''

'''EVERYONE:''' ''{Singing to the tune of [[Wikipedia:O Tannenbaum|"O Christmas Tree"]]}'' Decemberween, Decemberween, you're fifty-five days after Halloween.

''{Cut to a close-up of Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' With bunnies running for their lives,

''{Pan left to The King of Town}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' ''{holding up a bunny on a plate}'' I wish this one was super-sized!

''{Cut back out to the group shot}''

'''EVERYONE:''' Decemberween, Decemberween, you're fifty-five days after Halloween!

''{Cut to Strong Sad entering from the right}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{off-key, a wavering third below}'' What are you guys talking about?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{moves in front of Strong Sad}'' Hey, who the crap let Strong Sad out?

''{Cut back out to the group shot.}''

'''EVERYONE:''' Decemberween, Decemberween, you're fifty-five days after Halloween!

''{Cut to a close-up of Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' I've got all types of crazy crap!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{enters the shot from the right}'' I bought Strong Bad a ''Deep Impact''!

''{Cut back out to the group shot}''

'''EVERYONE:''' Decemberween, Decemberween

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Coach Z's been drinking Listerine!

''{Music cuts out with a record scratch as Coach Z wobbles and falls face first into the snow. Fade to black.}''

==Easter Eggs==

*When Homestar is talking to Bubs at his concession stand, you can remove some of the Christmas lights and move them around just as in the [[Astro Lite]] game! To help do this, pause the toon by right-clicking and unchecking play.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===

*A [[Wikipedia:Jew's harp|Jew's harp]] is an ancient Eurasian instrument, also known as a jaw harp or mouth harp. Some believe it is called a 'juice harp' because the sound of the words 'juice' and 'jews' are similar. It should also be noted that some people consider the term Jew's harp offensive, and that the alternatives are generally preferred.

===Trivia===

*This toon marks the start of Strong Sad's voice becoming more "delicate," though some of his "fatigued" voice still remains at this time.
*This toon also marks the completion of Strong Bad's voice not having the Mexican accent (in other words, he sounds more like how he does today).
*The signs on the trees are as follows:
**3% APR!!!
**The Decemberator 2000
**Zero Down!
**[[Cheap as Free]]
**buy me! i'm awesome
**No you're not. I am.
*Marzipan's protest signs are as follows:
**DOWN WITH D'WEEN! ''(two signs)''
**I THINK IT'S TOO COMMERCIALIZED! ''(two signs)''
**DECEMBER WEEN KILLS BUNNIES
*The signs at Bubs' Concession Stand are:
**Concessions By Bubs
**ALL TYPES OF CRAZY CRAP
**WE "GOT" THE GOODS
**decem-berween stuff
*Among the items Homestar finds at Bubs' is a copy of the [[Nintendo|NES]] game ''[[Wikipedia:Tag Team Wrestling|Tag Team Wrestling]]''. The game's teams were called "The Ricky Fighters" and "The Strong Bads". Evidently, this game is where Strong Bad got his name. This could also be a reference to [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], when Strong Bad tells Homestar and [[Pom-Pom]] that he and Strong Mad are "the best tag-team wrestlers in the world".
*The Peter Frampton poster Homestar finds at the concession stand reads "Frampton Comes Alive!", and is autographed: "To: Strong Bad, Best Wishes! – P.F."
*This is the first cartoon where [[Decemberween]] is mentioned by its real name.

===Remarks===

*[[A Holiday Greeting]] had the same page title, as well as the same intro and loading screen.
*This cartoon seems to have been made during a transitionary period of sorts: The animation is of the most recent style, but the voices are the type that are associated more with the previous style. Notice, for instance, Homestar's pronunciation of "Strong Bad". Also, Bubs' Concession stand still has its old "Concessions by Bubs" sign, like from [[Where's The Cheat?]] and [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].
*The calendar at the beginning of the toon only shows 29 days in the month.
*In [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], Homestar has the shape of a star on his soles. In this toon, if you look at his footprints in the snow, they are just lines.

===Goofs===

*Strong Sad has no arms while he is singing, and Strong Bad has no arms while he is opening Homestar's present.
*During the singing, if you listen closely, you can hear little The Cheat noises. But the Cheat doesn't move until the end.
*When Coach Z and Homestar stop, the "Buy me, I'm awesome" sign on the Christmas tree is covering up a little bit of the tree in front of it.
*Though Strong Sad walks in during the song, he does not appear in the main group shot. Also, Strong Bad snaps back to his original position in the group shot after having moved to block Strong Sad's view.
*When Homestar and Coach Z are walking along together, they don't leave any footprints in the snow.
*When Homestar leans his head back and says, "I know, I know!", the outline on the back of his head goes inside his body and out the back of his shirt.

===Inside References===

*The [[Oven Mitts|oven mitts]] are a reference to [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD|In Search of the Yello Dello]], as is Coach Z's quote regarding the "great sports play".

===Real-World References===

*The introduction, with the spinning Special logo and sound effect, is a reference to the logo and sound that CBS used to preface their specials. The actual opening, used from 1973 to the late 1980's, is viewable [http://www.tv-ark.org.uk/international/video/cbsspecial1987.rm here] (this requires RealPlayer to view). This was used earlier in [[A Holiday Greeting]], as well as in [[The Luau]] (in this case, only the music was used).
*This toon contains many references to the "[[Peanuts]]" cartoons by Charles Schulz (particularly "A Charlie Brown Christmas"). For example, Homestar wears a winter hat (similar to Charlie Brown's hat) and walks out of a house, along the low brick wall and sighs. In addition, Strong Sad's arms are drawn in a particular way. Also, one of Marzipan's signs reads that Decemberween is too commercial, which is also similarly referenced in "A Charlie Brown Christmas", in which Charlie Brown thinks his dog Snoopy has gone commercial when he sees him decorating his dog house to enter a "lights and display" contest. Finally, it pays further homage at the end, when all the cast gets together and sings a song (which the Peanuts always did in their holiday specials).
*The page title refers to [[Wikipedia:Dolly Madison|Dolly Madison Bakery]], a sponsor of various cartoon specials on CBS -- including Peanuts -- throughout the 1960's and 1970's.
*The title of this 'toon is based on the book, [[Wikipedia:The Best Christmas Pageant Ever|"The Best Christmas Pageant Ever"]], by [[Wikipedia:Barbara Robinson|Barbara Robinson]]. The plot has nothing in common except for the holiday theme, of course.
*[[The Cheat's Head Exploding|The Cheat's head exploding]] when he opened a present is possibly a reference to [[Wikipedia:The Smurfs|The Smurfs]], in which [[Wikipedia:Characters in the Smurfs#Jokey (aka Prisoner)|Jokey Smurf]] would give someone a present that would explode in the opener's face.
*[[Wikipedia:Listerine|Listerine]] (Coach Z's "mouthwarsh") is an over-the-counter mouthwash created by [[Wikipedia:Pfizer|Pfizer Inc.]] With an alcohol concentration between 21% and 26% w/v, it is possible to get drunk off of Listerine, as demonstrated by Coach Z. However, the alcohol in Listerine is denatured, which would cause him to regurgitate it before the alcohol could take effect.
*[[Wikipedia:Deep Impact (film)|Deep Impact]] is a 1998 science fiction film released by [[Wikipedia:Paramount Pictures|Paramount Pictures]] and [[Wikipedia:DreamWorks Pictures|DreamWorks Pictures]]. The interrelated stories of the plot describe events which take place surrounding the discovery of the fictional comet "Wolf-Biederman" due to impact Earth, and its subsequent approach to our planet.
*[[Wikipedia:Chex Mix|Chex party mix]] is a common holiday snack containing [[Wikipedia:Chex|Chex]] [[Breakfast Cereal|cereal]], pretzels, spices, etc.

===Fast Forward===

*Strong Sad getting locked in the bathtub, as mentioned in this toon, is later seen in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].
*Homestar gives Strong Bad a Deep Impact DVD again in [[Real Live Emails]].
*Coach Z drinks Listerine again (and pours it into the fruit punch) in [[senior prom]], though it is yellow instead of blue.

== DVD Version ==
*The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
*The Special fanfare has been changed into a skat remix done by the Chapman Bros.. However, the original fanfare can still be heard during the commentary.

''{"SPECIAL" logo appears on the screen and spins a few times as we zoom in on it. As this happens, it turns from blue to pink.}''

''{Cut to an auditorium that looks suspiciously like the one in the 1965 Peanuts Christmas special with Pom Pom and Homestar Runner on the sides of the stage. Strong Bad enters from stage right, strides to the middle of the stage, stops and faces front.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lights, please.

''{The lights dim and a spotlight shines on Strong Bad. We zoom in on him as the opening bars of the music begin to play.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}''<br>O holy crap<br>And something, something, something<br>Ah, there was this guy<br>And he was probably born<br>They didn't know<br>If he was really stupid<div style="text-indent:2em">''{Off to the side, Homestar shows shock and budding anger.}''</div>But then they asked somebody<br>And they said he ''{chuckles}'' was stupid<div style="text-indent:2em">''{Homestar looks very angry.}''</div>He said, uh, that he was great<br>And ev'body believed him<br>That guy was ''{voice cracks}'' GREEAAAAA— 

''{Homestar Runner steps in front of Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, that's enough, Strong Bad.

''{Switch to close-up of Homestar Runner. As he speaks, the gang starts to congregate: Marzipan, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, and Strong Sad. In the background soft, slow Christmasy music plays: 'Everybody, everybody... Everybody, everybody...'}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, I think what Strong Bad is really trying to say is, "O Holy Crap." ''{gilt words appear on the screen with the sound of a harp and gold sparkles}'' Oh, no, wait, wait, wait.

''{Cut to wide shot; all of the main characters have gathered, excepting Homsar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I mean "Happy Holidays" ''{words appear again}'' from all of us to all of you.

Homestar Runner and Strong Bad's Relationship

2006-11-05T07:24:15Z

FlapperPrower: /* Homestar Runner and Strong Bad's Friendship */

{{cleanup}}
[[Image:MLS Sign War Star.PNG|thumb|Homestar and Strong Bad as enemies.]]
'''[[Homestar Runner]] and [[Strong Bad]]''' have had an interesting relationship over the course of [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|HomestarRunner.com]]'s existence. While they were originally conceived as enemies, Homestar has become a less heroic character over time and has taken the "lovable oaf" position, trying to be Strong Bad's friend. Strong Bad, on the other hand, now sees him as more of an annoyance than an arch-enemy, and we have seen that he actually has a soft side for the terrific athlete.

==Homestar and Strong Bad's Rivalry==

For the first couple of years of the cartoon, Homestar and Strong Bad were '''rivals''', Homestar being the hero and Strong Bad the antagonist. This was a recurring theme, but any rivalry between the two is very small now.

*[[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] — The whole toon is built around Homestar and Strong Bad in a tag-team wrestling match after Strong Bad took Homestar's star off his shirt. In the end, Homestar and [[Pom Pom]] come away victorious.

*Email [[car]] — Strong Bad "tricks out his fist" and punches Homestar in the face, leaving him dazed and confused.
*Email [[pom pom]] — Strong Bad thinks Homestar is Pom Pom and pokes him with a pin.
*Email [[old comics]] — In [[Castlefunnies|The Castlefunnies]], Strong Bad punches Homestar in the face.
*Email [[lady...ing]] — An email that is a parody of Marshmallow's Last Stand, Strong Bad kicks Homestar off the screen.
*Email [[secret recipes]] — Strong Bad gives Homestar some cottage cheese and The Cheat hair, which Homestar says that he was told it was sour cream and The Cheat hair.
*[[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]] — Strong Bad tells [[The Cheat]] to drop a TV on Homestar when he jumps from the cliff.
*[[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]] — Strong Bad announces, of a dart-ridden Homestar poster, "Oh, ''man'', I hate this guy!"
*Email [[keep cool]] — Strong Bad lets Homestar swim in the pool with an antenna during a lightning-storm.
*[[Strongest Man in the World]] — A toon version of the [[Original Book|original story]] that started the entire Homestar Runner phenomenon, it shows Homestar and Strong Bad competing for the title of "Strongest Man in the World".

==Homestar Runner and Strong Bad's Friendship==

Homestar and Strong Bad have also been depicted as '''friends'''. Homestar also tries to hang out with Strong Bad, [[The Brothers Strong|his brothers]] and The Cheat occasionally, but not always successfully. This is paralleled with [[1-Up]]'s attempts to "be the guy" with [[Stinkoman]].

*[[The Best Decemberween Ever]] — Homestar says Strong Bad is "kind of a jerk sometimes, and he says '[[Crap|holy crap]]' a lot, but I think if I get him the perfect present, he just might like me again."

Of all the characters in the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]] universe, [[Homestar Runner|the titular character]] has gone through the most changes. His original name, The Homestar Runner, has been inherited by his [[The Homestar Runner|Old-Timey counterpart]].

A Jumping Jack Contest

2006-11-04T09:24:41Z

FlapperPrower: /* Fast Forward */

[[Image:jumpingjackcontest.png|thumb|Day 1 of the contest]]

Strong Bad, Strong Sad, Homestar Runner, Pom Pom, and Bubs enter a jumping jack contest. The person who continually jumps jacks for the longest wins. Strong Bad cheats with the help of The Cheat and Strong Mad, of course. It is based loosely on the [[Original Book|original Homestar Runner book]], and has since been taken off the site. You can play a [[Strong Libs|Strong Lib]] whilst it loads.

== Why Was It Taken Off? ==
The removal of this toon in 2003 has been the subject of much debate among fans. Some believe it has to do with the references to urination, but given that [[2 years]], [[virus]], [[extra plug]], [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]], [[space program]] (in an Easter egg), [[kids' book]] (in an Easter egg), [[road trip]], and [[The Luau]] make similar references, this explanation is unlikely. Another theory is that it, along with [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], was taken down to get a Special Edition treatment, akin to [[The King of Town DVD]] (this is made more plausible by the fact that the editing and comedic timing of this toon is not nearly as proficient as in later toons) and the [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD|Yello Dello DVD]].

According to [[Matt Chapman]] in [[Club Aquatica Interview - 29 Oct 2003|the Club Aquatica interview]], "['Marshmallow's Last Stand' and 'A Jumping Jack Contest'] will be back on someday. We can’t disclose why they're off, it's a personal reason. If all goes well, they'll be back on the site; we’d like to have everything we've ever done on the site, and it sucks we had to take them off. They'll be back on someday."

== Transcript ==
''{The beginning credits roll with characters jumping jacks in background. Zoom in on Bubs, Strong Bad, Homestar, Pom Pom, and Strong Sad standing on a large, wooden platform with a banner on it, reading "A JUMPING JACK CONTEST!" The Announcer appears onscreen.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Good afternoo—

''{He is cut off by microphone feedback and winces.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a jumping jack contest!

''{Cut to a close-up of Bubs doing a quick dance. His name appears onscreen, as with the rest of the contestants.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Our five hot contestants—

''{Pan right to Strong Bad hitting the sides of his head.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' —will compete to see who can sustain their jumping jacks—

''{Pan right to Homestar Runner quickly hopping up and down.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' —for the longest time!

''{Pan right to Pom Pom bouncing from side to side.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Any contestant that ceases to jump jack, even for a moment,—

''{Pan right to Strong Sad.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' — is out of the competition.

''{Strong Sad slowly sighs. Cut to The Announcer.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' On your mark... get set... go!

''{He holds up a starting pistol and fires it into the air. Cut to silhouettes of the contestants doing jumping jacks. Cut to a close-up of Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{after two jacks}'' Whew. ''{sweats}'' I quit.

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{still jumping jacks}'' All right, Strong Sad! That's twice as many as last year!

''{Cut to Strong Bad jumping jacks. The Cheat emerges from behind the wooden platform.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, The Cheat! Is everything ready?

''{The Cheat nods}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good! Now go, and win us this competition!

''{As Strong Bad says this, The Cheat races off.}''

''{Cut to Homestar. The Cheat jumps up on stage with a glass of melonade on a platter.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, The Cheat, what's up?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{says "Hey, Homestar, would you like 147 glasses of melonade?" in The Cheat talk}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{seen through the glass}'' A glass of melonade for me? Hmmm... okay!

''{The Cheat holds up the platter, and Homestar drinks it through a straw.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, The Cheat!

''{Cut to a grassy area, empty except for Strong Mad standing by with some kegs of melonade. As The Cheat scurries into the frame and sets down the glass of melonade, Strong Mad refills The Cheat's empty glass.}''

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

''{The Cheat runs off with the refilled glass. Cut back to Homestar at the Competition Area. The Cheat goes to Homestar Runner and offers him another glass.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, another one! ''{drinks}''

''{We cut to a montage of Homestar Runner drinking glass after glass of melonade, Strong Mad refilling the glasses, and The Cheat fetching him more while music plays. Soon Homestar Runner has a huge belly and he jumps his jacks with crossed legs.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... I drank too many melonades... ''{bilious musical effect}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, you not looking so good Homestar. I think you better drop out.

''{Cut to the empty field. The Cheat and Strong Mad high five. Cut back to the Competition Area.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Seriously, Pom Pom, I'm about to pee my pants.

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Great idea, Pom Pom! But do you think he can get here in time?

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar's head. Homestar closes his eyes and gives a sigh of relief. Zoom out to show The Poopsmith walking away holding a jar of "yellow liquid." Homestar's belly is now empty.}''

''{Cut to a screen displaying the words "Day 2" on a white silhouette of Bubs jumping jacks. Cut back to the competition.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Bubs. Looks like quite a line is building up at your concession stand.

''{Cut to Bubs' stand. The "customers" waiting in line are The Cheat and Strong Mad. Strong Mad taps his foot while The Cheat looks around.}''

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

''{Cut to a close-up of Bubs. He stops jumping jacks and his eyes grow wide.}''

'''BUBS:''' Hot DOG!

''{Bubs runs off leaving a cloud of smoke. Cut back to the Stand, where Bubs enters it.}''

'''BUBS:''' What can I get for you fine gentlemen?

''{He holds up various treats, including a bag of popcorn, a sno cone, a "BERSHEY" candy bar, a soft drink, small wrapped candies, and a "POO-BAR" candy bar. Strong Mad and The Cheat walk away.}''

'''BUBS:''' Oh... I'm such a dummy.

''{Cut back to the Competition Area.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{through speakers}'' And so ends Day 2 of our competition with only THREE hot contestants left!

''{Day changes to night.}''

''{Pom Pom's silhouette spins onscreen, with the words "Day 3". It is now daytime again. Cut to Homestar, who is sweating.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' How you holding up Pom Pom?

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' How 'bout you, Strong Bad?

''{Zoom out to a full view of the Competition Area. Strong Mad wearing a Strong Bad mask is now on stage in place of Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I am Strong Bad!

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

'''POM POM:''' ''{frowns angrily, bubbles}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No way, Pom Pom, of course that's Strong Bad! ''{to Strong Mad}'' Ok, Strong Bad, are you Strong Bad?

''{Zoom out.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I am Strong Bad!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{to Pom Pom}'' See?

''{Cut to close-up of Pom Pom, who has a disbelieving look on his face.}''

''{Strong Bad's mask covers the screen, with the words "Day 4". Cut to Homestar, who is looking rather tired.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{wearily}'' I don't know how much longer I can make it, Pom Pom.

''{Zoom into Strong Bad's mask.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{off-screen}'' And Strong Bad's ''still'' looking good!

''{Zoom out to reveal The Cheat wearing a Strong Bad Mask. Cut to a pool, where we see Strong Bad, lounging in a chair at the poolside with a radio and a glass of melonade.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, let's see. I want to thank The Cheat for helping me to cheat—oh no, wait, I shouldn't say that. Let's try this again. I want to thank ''Strong Mad'' for helping me to cheat. There, that's better.

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{through Strong Bad's radio}'' Homestar Runner is fading fast and could drop out any moment!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{gets up}'' Ah, that's my cue! ''{exits screen}''

''{Cut to a side-view of the Competition Area. The Cheat is still in place of Strong Bad, and Homestar looks very weary.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I give up, Pom Pom. I'm about to jump my last jack.

''{Pom Pom, with a very angry look on his face, walks over to The Cheat. Cut to a close-up of The Cheat, where Pom Pom appears and overshadows The Cheat.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pom, what are you doing?!

''{Cut to The Cheat's view from inside the mask. Pom Pom reaches down to pull off the mask, and The Cheat lets out some startled exclamations as this is happening. Pom-Pom pulls off the mask. Cut to front view of The Cheat.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{off-screen}'' Hey, it's The Cheat,—

''{The Cheat grabs a Homestar Runner face cut-out from offscreen and puts it over his face, then throws it away.}''

'''BUBS:''' —and it looks like he's cheating!

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

''{Homestar Runner stops jumping jacks. A barber-shop style vocal arpeggio is heard, and we zoom in more and more to Homestar's face on each note.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If that's The Cheat, then where's Strong Bad?

''{Cut to an empty field, where Strong Bad is walking to the Competition Area. The camera moves along with Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Who is the guy that wins all the contests? That's me, Strong Bad. Except... maybe for that one contest. Or maybe more than one contest.

''{Cut back to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' There he is!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{annoyed}'' Oh! Holy... crap.

''{A trophy reading "What a Great Prize This Is." spins onscreen. Homestar holds it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, everybody, but this trophy really belongs to my best friend, Pom Pom.

''{Strong Bad walks onscreen wearing a Pom Pom costume, and takes the trophy from Homestar.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, give me that! Uh, I mean — bubble, bubble-dee-bubble. Dubble Bubble.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You said it, Pom Pom! We are best friends!

''{Fade out to a screen reading "THE END."}''

== Fun Facts ==

=== Remarks ===
*Technically, because arm movements are an important part of jumping jacks, Homestar Runner didn't do any, since he has [[Lack of Visible Arms|no visible arms]]. He also wasn't moving his feet correctly when he was full of melonades.
**Strong Sad didn't do any real jumping jacks either. He just raised his arms and bounced.
**Since The Cheat doesn't have legs, he wasn't doing jumping jacks right either.

=== Goofs ===
*You can easily see that Homestar broke the rules of the contest. He stopped jumping when he drank his first glass of melonade.
*When Homestar's bladder is full, and he says to Pom-Pom "But do you think he can get here in time?", the shading on the red part of his hat changes each time he moves his mouth.
*When Strong Bad tells The Cheat to "win them this competition", a corner of his mouth comes out of his head.
*When Homestar looks down and says, "I give up, Pom Pom", if you look closely it seems that his head was sliding a little bit down his shirt.
*Much or all of this toon does not lip sync very well. If you look closely, the characters' mouth movements come about half of a second after they say the lines.

=== Glitches ===
*After you have filled out the Strong Lib, you can highlight and change any of the text—including the text that wasn't affected by your choices before.

=== Inside References ===
*Homestar's line "I drank too many melonades" is a reference to Marshmallow's Last Stand, in which he says the same thing about eating too many marshmallows.
*When Strong Bad mentions the contests he didn't win, he could be referring to the [[Original Book|Strongest Man in the World Contest]] or the wrestling match in Marshmallow's Last Stand.
*This is likely the earliest mention of [[Pants#Homestar's Pants|Homestar's pants]].

=== Real-World References ===
*[[Wikipedia:Dubble Bubble|Dubble Bubble]] is a brand of bubble gum.
*When Bubs holds up his snacks, one is called Bershey, a play on the popular Hershey bars.

=== Fast Forward ===
*On the "Learn to speak The Cheat" record in the Strong Bad Email [[cheat talk]], one of the phrases is "Hey Homestar, would you like 147 glasses of [[Melonade|melonade]]?", and the Cheat-speak equivalent is the sound he made when offering Homestar the melonade in this cartoon.
*In the Strong Bad Email [[some kinda robot]], Strong Bad sings, "Who's the guy that checks all those emails? That's me Strong Bad!," which is a reference to the song he sings in this cartoon.
*In the toon [[Strong Bad Sings]] one of his songs says "Who's the guy that wins all the contests?"
*Homestar drinks too many Melonades again in [[The Luau]].
*Bubs' movements when he does jumping jacks, warms up before the contest, and looks at the line at his stand are all settings in the game [[Dancin' Bubs]].
*The pool background was used again in [[Theme Song Video]], albeit with a diving board added. It was also featured in the email [[keep cool]].
*One of the scenes from this toon was exaggerated in [[Exaggerations]].
*In [[No Hands on Deck]], Homestar says that he hasn't talked about melonade in a while, and then his head changes to its design from this toon.
