GreenHelmet: tense and subtle wording tweaks

[[Image:Homstarvs.PNG|thumb|"Man, man, we should start putting those Homestar Vs. Homestar fights on pay-per-view."]]

[[Homestar Runner]] seems to have an "unbelievably loose grasp on the world around [him]." As a result, Homestar will frequently become confused and [[Identity Confusion|forget who he is]]. He then interacts with himself as though he is a different and separate person. This has included talking to himself, looking for himself, writing notes to remind himself who he is, and even insulting himself. Even when he's obviously controlling [[Cardboard Marzipan]], she will seem smarter than Homestar and mention things that Homestar himself doesn't know.

==Appearances==
*Email [[the show]] — One of Homestar's cards reads "homestar = you".
*[[Lookin at a Thing in a Bag]] — Homestar asks himself what he's doing, and then replies to himself.
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 9.2]] — Homestar does extremely poor imitations of various characters on the switched tape, including himself.
*[[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] — Homestar asks [[Pom Pom]] whom he's working with when the two search for [[The Poopsmith]]. When Pom Pom replies, Homestar remarks that "Homestar Runner" sounds like a "no-goodnik".
*[[Bug In Mouth Disease]] — Homestar attempts to help himself out by employing the skills he acquired in health class. He addresses himself as "sir or madam" and asks himself if he needs "medical resistance". It doesn't work.
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 12.2]] — Homestar nicknames himself "Boyfriend [[Dan]]", but instantly forgets he has done so, ultimately ending up inadvertently threatening his self-instated alter-ego.
*Email [[garage sale]] — Homestar advertises himself for sale, then offers to buy one of himself, and then turns around and offers to [[I'll Take Twelve|buy twelve]].
*[[TrogdorCon '97]] — Homestar dresses up as himself for the con.
*[[Weclome Back]] — Homestar berates the person who slept through June and the person who forgot to bring the donuts. However, the person who did those things was Homestar himself.
*Email [[cliffhangers]] — In an [[Easter egg]], Homestar accuses himself of stealing the [[Lappy 486]], saying that he's got the history and the motives.
*[[Happy Hallow-day]] — Homestar talks to and refers to himself as "[[Douglas|Doug]]" while revealing his plan to capture [[Halloween]] night.
*Email [[4 branches]] — Homestar has himself on his own [[The Show#The Show AM|"You're a bad boyfriend" talk show]].
*Email [[looking old]] — Homestar calls [[Homsar]] "Homestar".
*Email [[strong badathlon]] — Homestar is the reigning champion in the "Greco-Roman Homestar Crud-Out-of-Beating", as demonstrated when he taunts, punches and slaps himself.
*[[Strong Badia the Free]] — After Homestar selects himself for the draft, he switches back and forth between trying to dodge it and trying to coerce himself into it, as though he's two different people.
*[[Most in the Graveyard]] — Homestar compliments himself on his own costume ([[What are you supposed to be?|while getting the costume wrong]]), and then corrects himself (incorrectly).
*[[Hremail 62]] — Homestar, in silhouette, introduces himself. After the lights come on, he thanks "silhouette" for the introduction.
*[[Hremail 2000]] — Just as in Hremail 62, Homestar introduces himself and then thanks "shadow Homestar". He then says "We'll do battle later." One Easter egg actually has him [[Duplicate Characters|fight against Shadow Homestar]] in a [[Mortal Kombat]] parody.
*[[Best Caper Ever]] — When calling for help, one person Homestar calls for is "Homestar".

*The Interlude is also the accompaniment to the solo.
*The Interlude gets you though pretty much the rest of the song besides the second solo.

Is there a way to convert this to a piano piece? {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 07:11, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

:Sort of beyond the scope of this wiki, but... transcribing tablature as conventional sheet music is a rote task, if that's what you mean, but music written for one instrument doesn't necessarily sound "right" when played on another, and it might be awkward (or even physically impossible) to play the exact same notes from one instrument to another. For these reasons typically one would create a new arrangement of the song specifically for a different instrument — which is a compositional art form in itself. A pianist skilled in improvisation may just wing it either by ear or using a lead sheet with pleasing results though. Have fun. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 13:51, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Blue Laser Commander

2009-07-14T03:29:16Z

GreenHelmet: /* Article Names */ he's called "commander" ... once.

==Closed STUFF votes==
====A legendary voice, you screech?====
<div style="border:dashed 1px #999; background:#F5F5F5; padding:12px">''Skip to the end of this section for how this was concluded.''</div>

The voice of the Commander is almost certainly a reference to the legendary voice-work of the late Chris Latta, best known as the voices of Starscream from Transformers and Cobra Commander from G.I. Joe.

*'''Decline.''' I doubt it was done on purpose. Maybe coincidentally, yes. But there is absolutely no certainty. -- [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 18:45, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept''' Are you watching the same Cheat Commandos that I am? The whole thing is a very obviously intentional G.I. Joe parody. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 18:49, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 22:50, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Un-second''' Do you realize that you just said it's obviously a '''PARODY''', when the fun-fact-adder said reference? [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] Apr 2005
*'''Decline.''' I think it's more likely that the voice of BLC is a reference to Cobra Commander rather than to the man who gave CC voice. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:12, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**Not much of a difference in my eyes, but isn't that more of a "revise" than "decline"? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 19:15, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**The key difference is that one is a reference to a concept, the other a specific person so '''Decline'''. Isn't there already a fact stating CC is a GI Joe parody? [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**Nope, it's a straight decline. Leave out the reference to the man and you're left with "The voice of BLC is a reference to Cobra Commander from G.I. Joe". I thought that was already a well-established fact. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:19, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Acceptinated!''' But is Chris Latta dead? That's not what I read online. -Walking Armless
*Guys, I think some of you are misinterpreting the point of my STUFF here. Obviously CC is a GI Joe clone. I don't need to tell you that. What I'm saying, actually, is I don't think that the voice work Matt does in this toon references anybody's voice style in particular. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 02:49, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''ACCEPT.''' This one really is a no-brainer. Cobra Commander has a ''very'' distinctive voice, and Matt is clearly mimicking it. [[Wikipedia:Chris Latta|Chris Latta]] gave Cobra Commander his voice. Therefore, Matt is ''clearly'' mimicking Chris Latta. (Sadly, Chris passed away in 1994 after a long illness.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:47, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**The fact as proposed seems to indicate that BLC's voice is some sort of intentional homage to Chris Latta. I just don't think that's the case. Matt is mimicking Cobra Commander's voice. Coincidentally, the voice was supplied by Chris Latta -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 15:03, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
***But by imitating Cobra Commander's voice, you are by necessity also imitating Chris Latta. What the fact is saying, then, is that "the Blue Laser Commander is a parody of Cobra Commander, even down to the way Chris Latta provided the voice." Stating it like that not only rounds out this wiki but also lets us use more [[Wikipedia:InterWiki|interwiki]] links, both of which are goals of a knowledge-based site such as this. And somebody might just learn a little bit extra. I mean, ''I'' did. — [[User:It's dot com|IDC]] 15:28, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
****But unless that was TBC's intention, its just another "could be" fun fact. They're imitating the '''CHARACTER''' not the guy doing the voice. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''ACCEPTED!''' For reasons already stated. -- [[User:Homsar999|Homsar999]][[User_talk:Homsar999|ß]] 22:24, 21 Apr 2005 (CDT) 
*My first-ever '''accept'''. You can't imitate the voice of a cartoon character without imitating the actor who voiced it. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 14:47, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Arrgh!!''' You acceptors don't get it. They. Are. Making. Fun. Of. Cobra. Commander. It doesn't matter WHO DID THE VOICE. Its not an homage, its NOT a reference, its a PARODY of another cartoon character. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**I don't always agree with Donny, but he got it right on the head here. I did NOT say that it was a reference to the guys voice. I STUFF'd it because it's just a parody. Nothing more. [[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 15:50, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
***'''Right On!''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 16:58, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
****'''Pom-Pom, my dawg, SECOND Place''' Definitely a parody. Read a dictionary, find parody. Write it down. Look up reference. Write it down. Did you write the same thing? Of course not. Now, which one pertains to the [[Blue Laser Commander]] voice? Parody. [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] Apr 2005
*Fine. You guys win.
The Blue Laser Commander's voice is a parody of the voice
of the Cobra Commander from G.I. Joe, which was done by the
late Chris Latta.
*Does THAT work? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 21:41, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**Well then we better go through and list all the specifics of other real world references. Bah. '''still decline''' All thats important is that its a joke on G.I Joe. Anything else added is just dross. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
***Which would be a valid point, if we were talking about a general Cheat Commandos page. But, since we already give direct references to specific G.I. Joe characters on other individual Cheat Commando character pages, and this IS an individual Cheat Commando character page, I don't see that applying. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 05:41, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
***Right, we already established that its a joke on Cobra Commander. It isn't though, a reference to the guy who does his voice. There is no reason to list voice over artists on this wiki. Just post a link to a G.I Joe page and let people find the info for themselves. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
****'''Fair enough''' Some comments made it look like the whole fact was being removed - reference to Cobra Commander and everything (check ISTK's first vote). As long the basic fact stays, I suppose it IS superfluous to include the VA's name. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 04:12, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*****I agree with this. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:36, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''No special comment this time, just Accept''' Well, it IS based on G.I. Joe. Ma' favorite show. ---[[User:the spludge|the spludge]] 22:43, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''You're missing the point!!''' We already know that it's based on G.I. Joe! The whole point is that Matt is imitating the voice of Cobra Commander, but not his voice actor. Accepting this fact is like saying "If you imitate the voice of Homestar, then you are imitating/referencing/making-fun-of Matt Chapman because he is the voice actor." If three other people add to my '''Decline''', we can get The Eggman to close this fact and put it out of its misery. --[[User:homestar3.14|homestar3.14]] 14:44, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

*In the above, there are 8 Accepts and 5 Declines.
*Of the 5 Declines, at least 3 of them agree with the Accepts that TBC are referencing the voice of ''Cobra Commander'', if not Chris Latta in particular.
*Jay and Dot com are willing to withdraw their support for including the voice actor's name as long as the basic fact stays.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think this character has ever actually been referred to as "Blue Laser Commander" anywhere on the website, and the fact that he runs an organization called "Blue Laser" has only really been hinted at.

[[User:Omnisweater|Omnisweater]] 01:58, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

:I think you're right. This character as an individual is often referred to explicitly as "Blue Laser", and I don't think the name "Blue Laser" is ever used ''unambiguously'' to refer to the organization. [[Special:Contributions/76.99.62.167|76.99.62.167]] 02:47, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

::Well...
:<blockquote>Take control of ''Blue Laser '''Commander''''' by mashing left or right on your laserdisc remote [...] — [[Blue_Laserdisc_Challenge]], [[Everything Else, Volume 2]]</blockquote>
::Sometimes "Blue Laser" is used referring to the leader, but in other cases it is clearly referring to the group as a whole (with the pronoun "they" being used along with it), and at least once one of the minions has been called "the Blue Laser". That said, in most cases it really ''is'' ambiguous, but the current terms on the wiki aren't at all wrong, and they are clear. I don't think moving the articles around would improve anything. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 03:29, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

GreenHelmet: /* Game Boy */ read the line above that

[[Image:TC MM NES.png|thumb|350px|"''The Adventures of Lolo''? You better have saved the receipt!"]]
{{cleanup}}
[[Wikipedia:Nintendo|'''Nintendo''']] is one of the biggest video game companies today, known for its influence and impact on the video game industry. [[The Brothers Chaps]] have praised Nintendo in many [[Interviews and Public Appearances|interviews]] and have made many Nintendo references in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work.

The probable reason for the prevalence of Nintendo allusions throughout [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] and [[Mike Chapman|Mike]]'s work is the central part the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) played in their upbringing{{ref|1}}. Along with cartoons and [[breakfast cereal]], the NES was an important part of their Saturday mornings as children. As one of their motivations in creating Homestar Runner has been to recreate this lost cultural experience{{ref|2}}, it is not surprising that they have infused their work liberally with references to Nintendo.

This was especially common during the [[Tandy 400]] era, but in recent years this tradition has died out a bit. However, he still occasionally does an outro, although it will often ask for The Paper to come down.

==Senders as in absentia characters==
Some e-mail senders are later referenced in the toon (or another toon) as doing more than simply sending the e-mail. While they never appear, there are hints that they have interacted with some of the residents of [[Places#Free Country, USA|Free Country, USA]].
*[[i she be]] — [[The Cheat]] IMs the sender, Great Looking Girl, at the end of the email.
*[[stupid stuff]] — [[Strong Bad]] makes a deal with sender Kevin Grumbles, wagering some of Kevin's [[Grumblecakes]], but later learns that Kevin double-crossed him by making a similar bet with [[Homestar Runner]].
*[[rough copy]] — Sender Malinko mails his sketches of Strong Bad and The Cheat. When they imitate his "promblem"-atic drawings in hopes of suing the pants off him, their plan backfires, as [[Strong Sad]], representing Malinko, proceeds to sue and throw snowballs at Strong Bad.
*[[pizza joint]] — When Strong Bad opens [[The Pizz|a pizza joint]] in [[Strong Badia]] to attract sender Daphne and her college-girl friends, they end up at [[The King of Town's Grill|the Cheat's pizza joint]].
*[[fan club]] — Strong Sad announces that [[Abdi LaRue]], sender of [[some kinda robot]], would appear at FHQWHfest '08, implying that Abdi agreed to go.

Strong Bad Email By Length

2009-07-13T13:31:05Z

GreenHelmet: /* List */ +imaginary

[[Image:Computers in harmony.png|thumb|300px|At nearly 7 minutes in length, "[[retirement]]" is currently the longest Strong Bad Email.]]
This is a list of every '''[[Strong Bad Email]] in order of length'''.

The shortest [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] era email is [[sb_email 22]] at 0:33, which is also the shortest email of any era. If you include the rather extensive Easter egg to the length, then the shortest Tandy era email becomes [[i rule]] at 0:40, with [[duck pond]] being a very close second. The longest Tandy era email is [[vacation]] at 4:26, due to the combined length of all five postcards. Some don't count this email as being particularly long, since each postcard was a separate update at the time of creation. This makes [[dullard]] at 2:12 the longest Tandy era email released in one part.

The shortest [[Compy 386|Compy]] era email is [[theme party]] at 1:06, and the longest Compy era email is the one hundredth email special [[flashback]] at exactly 5:00.

The shortest [[Lappy 486|Lappy]] era email is [[myths & legends]] at 2:54. Briefly, [[retirement|retirement B]] at 2:48 was considered the shortest Lappy email; however, the combined [[retirement]] email is the longest Lappy email (and the longest toon overall) at 6:53 but retirement , like vacation, came in with 2 parts on different release dates, so the longest Lappy era email to be released in one go is the 150th email: [[alternate universe]].

Plural Instead of Singular

GreenHelmet: /* Appearances */ avoid second-person narrative mode

[[Image:Three O Dems.PNG|thumb|THREE O' DEMS]]
Many times in the [[Homestar Runner Universe]], a character will use a '''pluralized noun in a phrase where it would normally be singular''', or else will pluralize an already plural word, often "them".

== Appearances ==
*[[Main Page 15]] — [[Strong Bad]] says "It looks like it was done by a two '''years''' old boy."
*Email [[japanese cartoon]] — Strong Bad says that he saw "one o' '''thems'''" once, referring to a japanese cartoon.
*Email [[animal]] — [[Homestar Runner]] says "I say there, Monstrosity! Do you know the '''[[times]]'''?"
*[[Stinkomanual]] — The description for the Seeper Mo of [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 7|Level 7]] reads "Stinkoman better think [[seriously]] about jumping o'er '''thems'''."
*Email [[space program]] — The ten dollar bill has "Ten O' '''Dems'''" written across the top.
**The gold also has a caption reading "THREE O' '''DEMS'''".
*Email [[senior prom]] — As [[Coach Z]] spikes a bowl of punch with [[Listerine]], he explains "I'm just lookin' out for all yer '''hygienes'''. Have ya ever talked to one of these kids up close!? Their '''breaths''' is terbirle!"
*Email [[licensed]] — Homestar claims that the glass filled Strong Bad piñata was still his "best '''birthdays''' ever".
*[[Sketchbook]] for 19 Feb 2009 — The caption for the [[4 Gregs]] reads "four o' '''dems'''".
*Email [[bottom 10]] — [[Nibbles]] states that he is only one '''years''' old.
**Also, the Limozeen song featured in the email is called "Feed The '''Childrens'''".
*Email [[alternate universe]] — Part of the lyrics to the song at the end is "Let the little '''childrens''' go."
*[[Strong Badia the Free]] — After Strong Bad puts all the Homsartifacts in the pylon and talks to Homsar in Homsar language, Homsar says, "Why are you talking gibberish? You sound like a two '''years''' old boy!"

'''Free Country, USA''' (also spelled '''Free Country USA''' and '''FCUSA'''), is where the [[Homestar Runner universe]] is centered. All of the [[:Category:Main Characters|main characters]] live, work, and play here.

==Geographical Features and Locations==
[[Image:The Empty Field Of Green.png|thumb|The thriving hub that is Free Country, USA]]

Free Country, USA features a verdant [[The Field|field]] that typically serves as a central link between the various features of the landscape. At the center of the field itself is [[The Stick]], which functions as a landmark and a meeting place for [[Strong Bad]] and whomever he chooses to meet there. The edge of the field is lined with what appear to be trees. They represent the edge of Free Country. Probably also somewhere in or near the field is a stream with a picturesque [[The Stone Bridge|stone bridge]]. [[Date Nite|Once]], Strong Bad and [[Homestar Runner]] rocketed their [[USS Flirtini|cardboard submarine]] backwards along this stream, ending up in a large, open body of water. This may or may not be [[The Pond|the pond]] Strong Bad and [[Coach Z]] have been seen fishing in, or the sea; [[Marzipan]] once [[Homestar Presents: Presents|mentioned]] a location she referred to as "the wharfs", featuring crab traps and trapped baby seals. Rounding out the natural features are mountains (usually seen only from a distance). The foothills of these mountains are likely located in the nearby [[Spooky Woods|woods]], as they contain at least one [[cliff]]. There is also one "hot spot", [[Carrot and Kazoo Hill]].

Specific locations in Free Country are treated with a certain ambiguity. Somewhere at the edge of The Field is the [[The Athletic Field|Athletic Field]]; logically, [[Coach Z's locker room]] is near the Athletic Field. The kickball field seen in [[Kick-a-Ball]] is probably near or in the athletic field due to the scoreboard there. Somewhere near the Athletic Field is [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. Other locations include a building containing a [[The Classroom|classroom]], used for multiple purposes by most of the characters, [[the Office]] where many of the characters work, and [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (place)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]], a once-popular haunt for Homestar.

The toon [[Summer Short Shorts]] features a sequence with [[Pom Pom]] that reveals that Bubs' Concession Stand, as well as a dense forest, is very near [[Strong Badia]]. A similar forest can be seen in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]]. However, the Pom Pom short depicts the forest and Bubs' with Strong Badia set in between them, whereas Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon shows Bubs' on the edge of the forest with no Strong Badia to be seen. This forest may or may not be the [[Spooky Woods]] that is usually seen at night in Halloween-themed episodes.

''[[Homestar Ruiner]]'' and [[Baddest Of The Bands]] feature a map of Free Country, USA, but eschews any sense of proper geography, in favor of allowing the player to move the various landmarks around the landscape to their liking. In [[Strong Badia the Free]], the [[King of Town]] eats Strong Bad's map, forcing him to write the names of locations in the spaces on the board for an old Maps and Minions game that was lying around in Strong Badia (In this game, locations are placed on the map by the game rather than by the player, but as Strong Bad is simply writing the names of locations on a board game, this is still not a proper map of Free Country, USA). Coincidentally, the King of Town was using his own copy of Maps and Minions Deluxe to coordinate his own forces, though his map didn't exactly match Strong Bad's.

===Characters' Homes===

As with Free Country's locations, the homes of different characters do not exist in rigidly established locations. With the exception of Coach Z's locker room and [[The Cheat|The Cheat's]] home (which is also [[The King of Town]]'s grill and therefore always near [[The King of Town's castle]]), none of the characters' homes have clear a geographical relation to each other. This ambiguity carries over into [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]], in which Strong Bad adds locations to his map at his (or more accurately, the player's) own discretion.

Some clues exist concerning this, however. In [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 9.2]], Strong Bad (as Cableman Jorge) asks Marzipan to buy a "hundred-foot spool of coaxial cable" in an attempt to get free cable service; this would imply the two houses are rather close to each other. In [[The King of Town DVD Commentary]], Strong Bad claims that The King of Town does not live in the castle, but in a "run down and creepy" "two bedroom job... next door" to him, although this was probably slanderous. Also, the similar designs of the exteriors of Marzipan's and Homestar's houses may be a hint that they were built from the same blueprints, as houses within a development often are. In the email [[unnatural]], a gigantic [[Bubs]] silhouette is seen walking from a silhouette of Strong Badia to The King of Town's castle, making it in several steps. This suggests that the castle is actually very close to Strong Badia.

==Flora and Fauna==

The flora of the land is somewhat sparse. Most of Free Country's ground is covered in evenly cut grass and long rows of large green bushes. Other types of shrubs and bushes make appearances from time to time; some bushes have been known to have [[Senor Cardgage]] inexplicably emerge from them. Though trees are seldom seen in Free Country, they are usually presented as being [[Wikipedia:deciduous|deciduous]], evidenced by the barren branches seen during Free Country's autumn. Occasionally [[Wikipedia:conifer|evergreen]] trees have been shown (usually around [[Decemberween]]). Flowers are incredibly rare and have only been seen in a couple of cartoons.

Fauna is in even shorter supply. Save for the [[Sea Creatures#Fish|fish]] in the pond, a few [[Bugs|crickets]], [[bees]], a number of bats, at least one [[Fat Bluebird|bird]] (others have been heard), [[The Bug|fly]] (some were seen at other places, including the trash can in [[invisibility]]), and [[Gavin|cockroach]], plus the characters themselves, no other animal life has yet been seen in Free Country, USA.

[[The King of Town]] at one point had [[The King of Town's Sheep|sheep]]. Whether he still owns them or ate them all is open to debate. It was at one time rumored that a [[Multi-Function Dragon|dragon]] menaced the castle, but even if he really existed, a story line shows it being slain.

==Politics==
[[Image:The KoTs Castle Grand.PNG|thumb|150px|The King of Town's Castle]]
Free Country appears at first glance to be a [[Wikipedia:monarchy|monarchy]] since it is nominally ruled by [[The King of Town]]. However, since Free Country is a [[Wikipedia:municipality|municipality]] and not a kingdom, the King of Town would technically be a [[Wikipedia:lord|lord]]. However, the self-conferred sovereign's reign is not widely recognized by the populace, so Free Country could be considered to be in a state of [[Wikipedia:Anarchy|anarchy]], where there is no accepted centralized government but the members of the community co-exist with loosely established rules that maintain order.

To this end, Free Country can muster a meager police force consisting of [[Homestar Runner]], [[Pom Pom]], [[Coach Z]], and [[Bubs]] to ensure that anyone engaged in [[Crimes committed by Strong Bad|criminal behavior]] (to date, only [[Strong Bad]] and [[The Cheat]]) are [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|placed firmly]] in [[jail]] (a large cardboard box). Since there is no need for an army (nor a government to stand one up), Free Country has no official military. It is, however, home to the [[Homestarmy]], a meager militia that includes a [[Frank Bennedetto|popcorn machine]] and is led by Homestar Runner. The Homestarmy once attempted to conquer Strong Badia (see below), but appears to represent no cohesive political movement (other than expressing discontent stemming from "playing second fiddle to a two-bit [[wrestleman]] and his yellow dog"). The King of Town has occasionally expressed an intention to exercise actual power, going so far as to mobilize [[The Municipality|his own military force]] headed up by [[The Poopsmith]], as seen in [[disconnected]].

Besides the King's castle (which would be the seat of government if the King's rule had any legitimacy), there is a different building containing a [[smoky office]] which has been used for various purposes, including a [[The Interview|newsroom]], [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|police station]], and a set for the ''[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]'' films.

The name and the currency used imply that this town is in the United States of America, and in [[trading cards]] Strong Bad makes reference to himself "here in the states" when addressing a Canadian writer. Yet any further details, regarding what state or town "Free Country" is in is never mentioned. They may have to pay taxes, however, as evidenced by [[A Decemberween Pageant]] and [[Arcade Game]].

===Strong Badia===
[[Image:Strongbadia.png|thumb|150px|Strong Badia]]
[[Wikipedia:Enclave|Within Free Country's borders]], the territory of [[Strong Badia]] exists as an autonomous enclave. Strong Badia has a [[flag day|flag]], a [[Strong Badia National Anthem|national anthem]], and has even had to [[The Battle of Strong Badia|defend its autonomy]] from [[Homestarmy|outside aggression]], as seen in [[army]]. Although Strong Bad said that Strong Badia doesn't have/need an army, the local gang, [[On Point Kings]], have transformed from being a simple group of guys hanging around to a band of shady <strike> missionaries</strike> mercenaries that specialize in black ops, brown ops, and the occasional beige op. Whether or not Strong Badia is a "real" country is open to debate, since the permanent population of Strong Badia is a [[tire]] and it's only the size of a backyard. A few email senders seem to call Free Country by this name, presumably because the characters talk about Strong Badia more often than Free Country. However, Strong Bad specifically addressed this issue in [[keep cool]], limiting the borders of Strong Badia to the empty lot.

==Other Territories==

Mentioned from time to time (and seen only via the depicted map) are other territories outside Free Country. If the circuitous path of Homestar's [[In Search of the Yello Dello|journey]] to [[Potamia]] for [[The Yello Dello]] is to be believed, Free Country borders the territory of [[Far Off Lands]]. Very little, if anything, is known about these territories or their relation to Free Country, although [[Prance]] is known to make at least one [[Hairstyle Runner|Homestar Runner-related product]].

According to the original Characters page and [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], [[The Brothers Strong]] come from a land called Parts Unknown.

Strong Bad claims to have a secret family (surnamed Mudgeman) in a community named Broiter Grove. If there is any shred of truth to this supposition, it can be assumed this community is near Free Country, USA, as Strong Bad is clearly without a working car.

==Economics==

The economics of Free Country are as ambiguous as the locations and politics of the territory. The local currency is [[Wikipedia:Federal_Reserve_notes|U.S. dollars]], although this official currency is augmented by a strong barter system that allows trade of goods and services (further suggesting that the government has no central banking power); most local commerce occurs at [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. Pencil shavings have been accepted by [[Bubs]] at least twice, in [[lackey]] and [[secret identity]]. Also, in a Easter Egg in [[colonization]], Homestar declares that 'Dirty [[Diapers]]' were to no longer be considered legal tender. In the email [[flag day]] a coin is visible that resembles a quarter. It is the same color, appears to be the same size, and has a face and words on both sides of it as well as words on the top and bottom of the coin. The date on it would be on the wrong side, though. The face on this coin is Strong Bad's. This implies that it is Strong Badian money, which implies Strong Badia is its own country. Strong Bad could be making this coin up because it has some of the words of the song he is currently singing printed on it. There was also a coin with a head of [[Trogdor]] on one side and his tail on another, seen in [[Kick-a-Ball]]. This somewhat suggests that Trogdor has his own type of currency, or the coin was made only for sporting events like kickball. It seems that there is some crabbing industry, as there are crab traps at the wharf (which often claim baby seals), even though this supposed wharf has never been seen.

Bubs' Concession Stand is known to accept these forms of currency:
*Cash
*Money
*Cash Money
*Pencil Shavings (added to the sign by the Cheat)
*Quesos (Strong Badian curency)
*First Born Children
[[Image:Bubs Last Stand.PNG|thumb|150px|Bubs' Concession Stand]]

It is also unclear as to how rent or mortgages on the houses owned by Free Country residents is paid. [[Strong Bad]] mentions in [[colonization]] that he had to give [[Bubs]] his first and last month's rent deposits, but other than that, no other characters have mentioned how or when they pay rent.
===Employment===
:''Main article: [[Occupations]]''
Bubs works at his stand as a general fix-it man. He has also been seen as a mechanical worker at [[The Office]], and as a bartender at [[Club Technochocolate]]. [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]], [[Strong Bad]], [[The Cheat]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Coach Z]], and [[Pom Pom]] work in some kind of an office, at least occasionally. Homestar also hosts [[The Show]]. [[Strong Bad]], in addition, had a "part, part, part, part, very part time job" as a giant [[Tragic Clown Dog]] mascot at [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] in [[part-time job]]. He quit that job, however, when he realized that he needed to rush back to Marzipan's house to finish his email before the [[Lappy 486|Lappy]] lost its battery charge. [[Strong Mad]] appears to work as a bouncer at [[Club Technochocolate]]. [[Coach Z]] is presumably some kind of a coach and a gym class teacher; he has also been seen working as a custodian at the office and as a [[Drive-Thru Whale|mascot]] for [[Blubb-O's]] restaurant. [[The King of Town]] employs [[The Poopsmith]] for reasons he does not care to disclose as well as a [[The Little Chef Guy|chef]], a [[The Blacksmith|blacksmith]], a [[The Hornblower|hornblower]], a [[The Cleric|cleric]], and a [[The Knight|knight]]. Marzipan, The Cheat, and Strong Mad are in a band named [[Cool Tapes]], which tours and sells "steven inches" for [[pi]] dollars. Marzipan additionally runs a kindergarten class which includes Homestar, [[Homsar]] and [[Strong Mad]]. [[Senor Cardgage]] has had several shady jobs, such as a mortgage seller, owner of an online e-niversity, operator of Shady Daycares, and lastly, with a somewhat stable job as an usher at the local [[The Movie Theater|theater]]. There is likely a Board of Health in FCUSA, as evidenced in [[Donut Unto Others]], where Strong Bad works as a health inspector. It has not been revealed whether the remaining characters have jobs.

==Free Country Through Time==

In addition to its current, contemporary depiction, Free Country has been shown in the past and possibly in the future.
[[Image:1936field.png|thumb|150px|Old-Timey Free Country]]
===Old-Timey Free Country===

In the [[Old-Timey|1930s]], Free Country was characterized by dirt roads, picket fences, carnival tents, antiquated Industrial Revolution-era factories, and even a [[Cholera Acres Cemetary|graveyard]], only the latter of which may have survived the passage of time. As with the rest of the USA during this time period, Free Country was [[Wikipedia:Great Depression|economically depressed]], with the population being forced to subsist on dry meal, water soup, and parsnips. Commerce, such as it was, was located at a [[Parsnip Depot|dilapidated depot]].

There was a growing, through sponsorship funds, radio station (name still unknown) which had a drama - "The Fish Was Delish Progrum", in which Sir Strong Bad already was building up his showman career.

And, though there is some debate as to whether or not Free Country was still under [[Wikipedia:Prohibition|Prohibition]] during this time period, some residents enjoyed the occasional nip of [[Wikipedia:Alcoholic beverage|hooch]] regardless.

[[Image:Freepetrydishusa.PNG|thumb|right|150px|Home to a bunch of plucky parameciums]]

===Free Petry Dish USA===
In the email [[highschool]], Strong Bad claims that the entirety of Free Country, USA was, in the past, merely on a petri dish, with all its inhabitants being single-cell organisms. However, considering his purported "unphotographic memory", it's unlikely that such a place ever truly existed.
[[Image:planetk.png|thumb|150px|20X6 Free Country]]

===Futuristic Free Country?===

In the futuristic year [[20X6]], Free Country may or may not be one and the same as [[Planet K]], which looks much like the current Free Country. If so, Free Country will grow to feature significantly more architecture to the extent of having a full city (a quality the territory currently lacks). Nothing is yet known about the economic or political state of this ultramodern version of Free Country, though there is a significantly higher frequency of fights and challenges faced by its residents, which include various robots. They appear to be located in the same region, however, as Strong Bad buries a time capsule that is later discovered by Stinkoman.

==Estimated Real-World Location==

Viewers of Homestar Runner have variously speculated about the "real" location of Free Country, USA, though it is generally assumed [[The Brothers Chaps]] prefer to leave its location undetermined.

Each time the world is seen from space, the shape of the United States is easily recognizable. The characters speak with American accents, type with American spelling, celebrate many American [[holidays]], and make references to elements of American culture (such as its [[presidents]]). Most obvious is the fact that "USA" is in the name. On a side note, America is widely known as a "free country." Therefore, it seems safe to conclude that Free Country, USA is somewhere in America. This may be the closest one can come to determining a location for Free Country, USA, as many of the following observations are contradictory to one another.

*The scene in the [[Theme Song Video]] where Homestar runs around the planet and a star appears on a United States map would lead one to believe it's possible that Free Country is somewhere in northern Nebraska.
*In the email [[radio]], the [[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU]] radio station's call letters are given as [[Radio Stations and Shows|WSBD]], as are "Numbitty 902's" WA3D FM. Real-world radio designations would place Free Country east of the Mississippi river, although there are some historical [http://www.oldradio.com/archives/general/kwtrivia.htm exceptions].
*Free Country is likely in a northern latitude or high altitude given the snowy weather around [[Decemberween]].
*In the email [[anything]], Homestar refers to his two liter bottle of [[Mountain Dew]] as "soda", which is a term more used in the northeast and in the west. In parts of the Upper Midwest it is frequently called "pop".
*The Brothers Chaps themselves live in Atlanta, Georgia, making it possible that Free Country is located in the Southeast.
*In [[Homestar Presents: Presents]], Marzipan references baby seals and crab traps at the wharf, suggesting that Free Country is near the ocean, or at least a salt-water body.
**This might just show that there is a large lake nearby.
**This might just show that they import seals and crabs and trap them at a place called "the wharf."
*In [[Homestar vs. Other Little Girl]], Homestar claims he does ''not'' live in Texas.
*In the end of [[Where the Crap Are We?]], Homestar thinks he and Strong Bad are in Massachusetts, which would indicate that they are not from there.
*In [[Weclome Back]], [[Cool Tapes]] did a midwest tour, indicating that they may be from around there.
*In [[colonization]], [[Strong Bad]] and [[Bubs]] share some "cold Hardee's he had lying around", which implies that Free Country may be in the Eastern/Midwestern part of the USA (In the Western part of the US, "Hardee's" is called "Carl's Jr.").
*In the email [[keep cool]], the temperature was 98ºF, but in all the Decemberween episodes, there is snow, suggesting that Free Country is in a state where the climate varies greatly.
*In the email [[retirement]], [[Strong Bad]] tells the audience to "feast their Dust Bowl-ravaged eyes" on his show. This suggests that they might be in the Great Plains area.
*In [[Main Page 11]], Downloads shows a weather map of the eastern region of the United States, suggesting that Free Country, USA is in the eastern half of the USA.
*In [[Baddest Of The Bands]] when sending in his album cover to [[Limozeen]], [[Strong Bad]] wrote down "Staten Island...10301..." this is [[Limozeen]]'s address, as on [[baddestofthebands.com]] they were said to leave their "Staten Island home base" for the Battle Royale Of The Bands (which they didn't really leave.) This could imply that Free Country USA isn't near Staten Island, since Strong Bad is mailing the letter. Though this may not be the case.
*In [[8-Bit Is Enough]], the camera zooms out to what looks like the map from the [[Theme Song Video]], and a large explosion resonates from the center of the map, similar to the star in the Theme Song Video.

== Trivia ==
*The [[Strong Bad Email]] [[flashback]] marked the first time that a character actually said the name "Free Country, USA." Homestar also said the name "Free Country, USA." in Episode 1 of [[Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People]].

== Kelly-usa? ==

This seems unlikely, but did anyone else think "Kelly-Usa" ("oosa") was a reference to Sailor Moon? There's a character named Chibi-Usa with the last part also pronounced "oosa." Being from a Japanese anime, it'd explain the "exotic lady from the Far East" comment. Reasons this is improbable: (1) -usa is not an honorific in Japan and was unique to the one character, making this reference pretty specific; (2) Chibi-Usa was a little girl, not an "exotic lady"; and (3) really, Sailor Moon?

If someone has an alternative explanation of SB's reaction, I'd like to see it.

== Name styles ==

This may need to be listed on the [[HRW:STYLES|manual of style]] or its talk page, but I just wanted to state somewhere that this toon should be referred to as [[hremail3184]] when listed as a Strong Bad Email and [[Hremail 3184]] when listed as a Hremail or when TBC list it as such. I think our usage to this point has been consistent with the guideline, but I figured it should at least be mentioned out loud. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:43, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

== takes, has, means... ==

So, at least three times in this email, the characters use the wrong word in a sentence. For example, SB says "I can't takes it no more", Coach Z says "... now I don't has to" and the Lappy asks, "does that means?" Are these mentionable? I think they are, in the same vein that "Be's careful" and "be's'ing mean..." were in previous emails... but how do we mention them in this email.... a little help?

==32X Reference==

I did a basic edit about the Grilled mushrooms 32x reference, but since I'm new at this can some one perfect it?

==So popular lately==

Gas rings around explosions in pop culture probably started with the Star Wars Special Editions. Worth a Real World Reference?
:Unless you can make that "probably" into a "definitely", I'd say not. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:07, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, there are certainly earlier examples, notably in Star Treks II and VI, but the idea of adding a shock-wavey Saturn ring to make an explosion 'fancier' definitely starts with the SW SEs. Not that there's anything 'lately' about 1997, but SB probably doesn't have a DVD player yet. :)
:Meh, I think it's a bit [[TTATOT]]. {{User:That Guy Over There/sig}} 05:33, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
::Actually, SB's reference itself is rather broad ranging. It's not as if he is referencing a single source of the Saturn ring explosions, but actually the trend of having them. As such, one or two notable mentions might be worth making.

== Ghost Lappy ==

The (demonic) shadow of Female Lappy in the explosion feels like a reference to the ghosts of the Tandy (Bad Graphics) and Compy (skeleton), but I'm not sure how (or if) to put this into an Inside Reference or Remark. Thoughts? {{User:Itama/sig}} 00:16, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

== Usa, Japan ==

<blockquote>* Strong Bad's remark that Kelly-Usa sounds exotic is a reference to the [http://www.snopes.com/business/genius/usa.asp urban legend] about Japan renaming a town Usa.</blockquote>

This doesn't seem quite right to me. In this case he is interpreting Usa as Kelly's last name, and I don't think it really stands on it's own as a reference specifically to that urban legend. The only thing that stopped me from removing it is the fact that they have referred to the urban legend before, and somewhat recently, but even that relies on either being a close follower of the TBC's work or making a priori connections in order to be considered a reference to the urban legend in my mind. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 12:52, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

== Moonwalking? ==

Is it just me, or does Senor Cardgage's walking in place look like a tribute to Michael Jackson's moonwalk move?

It's just you.--[[Special:Contributions/206.205.184.2|206.205.184.2]] 14:20, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

== Lappy 486 and Paper 2.0: Rest In Peace==
They killed off Lappy the same way they killed of Tandy, I wonder what new computer will replace it. Perhaps Strong Bad and Homestar will answer an email together. [[User:MICGAGUH]]
:Sorry, but stuff like this really belongs on the forum. [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 14:48, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

== Kelly-usa? ==

This seems unlikely, but did anyone else think "Kelly-Usa" ("oosa") was a reference to Sailor Moon? There's a character named Chibi-Usa with the last part also pronounced "oosa." Being from a Japanese anime, it'd explain the "exotic lady from the Far East" comment. Reasons this is improbable: (1) -usa is not an honorific in Japan and was unique to the one character, making this reference pretty specific; (2) Chibi-Usa was a little girl, not an "exotic lady"; and (3) really, Sailor Moon?

If someone has an alternative explanation of SB's reaction, I'd like to see it.
:Actually, it's probably just an extention of the Homenadé joke made in [[Donut Unto Others]]. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 15:10, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

== Name styles ==

This may need to be listed on the [[HRW:STYLES|manual of style]] or its talk page, but I just wanted to state somewhere that this toon should be referred to as [[hremail3184]] when listed as a Strong Bad Email and [[Hremail 3184]] when listed as a Hremail or when TBC list it as such. I think our usage to this point has been consistent with the guideline, but I figured it should at least be mentioned out loud. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:43, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
:I was the one who originally moved the page from [[Hremail 3184]] to [[hremail3184]], and I wasn't sure if I should fix the pages listed in "What links here?" for the former article. I suppose that clears it up. [[User:Dalkaen|Dalkaen]] 04:29, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== scroll buttons ==

there is no scroll buttons song as of this sbemail

Yeah. We know. It's been stated on the page. {{User:BubbleRevolution/sig}} 18:26, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

:Hey, I did that! {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 09:17, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== takes, has, means... ==

So, at least three times in this email, the characters use the wrong word in a sentence. For example, SB says "I can't takes it no more", Coach Z says "... now I don't has to" and the Lappy asks, "does that means?" Are these mentionable? I think they are, in the same vein that "Be's careful" and "be's'ing mean..." were in previous emails... but how do we mention them in this email.... a little help?

:"This email contains several instances of [[Deliberately Poor English]]." --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:55, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

== Identical explosion marks? ==

I dunno if anyone else noticed, but the explosion mark at the end of this toon is the exact same vector shape that was used in the same spot back in 'virus', after Bubs shot the Compy.
:I did notice, but I wasn't sure if it was worth noting. {{User:That Guy Over There/sig}} 05:31, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

==32X Reference==

I did a basic edit about the Grilled mushrooms 32x reference, but since I'm new at this can some one perfect it?

==So popular lately==

Gas rings around explosions in pop culture probably started with the Star Wars Special Editions. Worth a Real World Reference?
:Unless you can make that "probably" into a "definitely", I'd say not. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:07, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, there are certainly earlier examples, notably in Star Treks II and VI, but the idea of adding a shock-wavey Saturn ring to make an explosion 'fancier' definitely starts with the SW SEs. Not that there's anything 'lately' about 1997, but SB probably doesn't have a DVD player yet. :)
:Meh, I think it's a bit [[TTATOT]]. {{User:That Guy Over There/sig}} 05:33, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
::Actually, SB's reference itself is rather broad ranging. It's not as if he is referencing a single source of the Saturn ring explosions, but actually the trend of having them. As such, one or two notable mentions might be worth making.

==PONK!==
Anyone else notice the name of the beer Bubs was drinking?--[[User:Robotguy4|Robotguy4]] 05:17, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:It is clearly "PONK!" Point? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:57, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
::I think [http://www.teamfortress.com/scoutupdate/energydrink.htm this] is his point. It really seems like it's a ''[[Wikipedia:Team Fortress 2|Team Fortress 2]]'' reference (right down to Bubs mimicking the Scout's constant "BONK" proclamations); I just haven't added it in because the relationship isn't absolutely obvious. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 15:08, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:::Since you pointed it out, it's pretty obvious, but before you said anything, I wouldn't have even known about it. That, in my book, is plenty good reason to add it.

==Other Info==

Is anyone planning on putting the writing from Strong Bad's newspaper and business card in the article? [[User:CloneWarrior|CloneWarrior]] 08:38, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:Bwees-ness card is a good idea, and we would all be grateful for the addition of it. Da NewsPapes, however, (and correct me if I'm wrong) says exactly the same thing it has in its other SB-on-da-toilet scenes, so it needs no transcription. --{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 12:07, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
::Well, I checked the article for Candy Product, and the newspaper definitely has different text there. What other instances are there? [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 00:22, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

== Speech Impediment ==

Is it me, or does Homestar's Speech Impediment is kinda missing at the beginning of the hremail?--{{User:Darkangel/sig}} 08:54, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== traffic ==

Do the sounds of traffic during Senor Cardgage's part sound like the traffic in his part during the FBI Warning on strongbad_email.exe Disc Six? -Logged Out Open Source Greg
:It sounds like it might be the same, but that's a note for [[Sound Effects]]. --{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 12:07, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== No Broken Lappy Menu? ==

I think this is the first sbemail where a computer explodes and there is no special menu for the broken computer, like after the tandy and the compy. I can't remember if those came in right away, or a few days later. [[User:Nynexman4464|Nynexman4464]] 14:48, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:I believe there's been a gap in between the destruction of the computer and the broken menu. The dates on [[virus]] and [[Broken Compy Menu]] back that up. It's probably done that way to avoid spoiling the surprise of the destruction. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:42, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== Magnificent Marzipan ==

* The Magnificent Marzipan is a nod to [[Wikipedia:Sensational_Sherri|Sensational Sherri]] and/or [[Wikipedia:Don_Muraco|The Magnificent Muraco]].

What evidence is there to support this claim aside from the alliteration? This seems extremely weak to me. {{User:That Guy Over There/sig}} 20:46, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== Already prepared to explode the lappy? ==

I put a fact on the page, but it got removed as unnotable, so I wanted to mention it here. Does no one else find it inconsistent that, although Strong Bad had just now (as of this email) been asked about explosions, he had bought the dooj button (in preparation of exploding the lappy) several weeks ago? -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.140.130|132.183.140.130]] 22:49, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:I don't know about that, but I think a Remark should be made about the button not being plugged into the Lappy until SB points it out. [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 23:18, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
::Well, it seems notable to me. Like all the <s>crap</s> very interesting fun facts that we put in. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 23:24, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
:::The way i see it, this email is basically SB telling about how he regularly splo's stuff up, at least as often as he breathes air molecules, so for him to plan to blow up the lappy even before recieving the question is VERY consistant with this email. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:26, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== Ghost Lappy ==

The (demonic) shadow of Female Lappy in the explosion feels like a reference to the ghosts of the Tandy (Bad Graphics) and Compy (skeleton), but I'm not sure how (or if) to put this into an Inside Reference or Remark. Thoughts? {{User:Itama/sig}} 00:16, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

== Usa, Japan ==

<blockquote>* Strong Bad's remark that Kelly-Usa sounds exotic is a reference to the [http://www.snopes.com/business/genius/usa.asp urban legend] about Japan renaming a town Usa.</blockquote>

This doesn't seem quite right to me. In this case he is interpreting Usa as Kelly's last name, and I don't think it really stands on it's own as a reference specifically to that urban legend. The only thing that stopped me from removing it is the fact that they have referred to the urban legend before, and somewhat recently, but even that relies either being a close follower of the TBC's work or making a priori connections in order to be considered a reference to the urban legend in my mind. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 12:52, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

'''Date:''' Tuesday, June 30, 2009

'''Running Time:''' 5:04

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==
''{Homestar is sitting at his hremail desk. He has bags under his eyes and is slouching. He slips further and further down over the next line.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{half-mumbling}'' And that, Gordon Titanamonderous, is why I decided to ''keep'' calling you Gordon Titanamonderous...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{from off-screen}'' Aaah! I can't takes it no more!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, screaming.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Somebody hand me a rake!

''{A rake is handed to Strong Bad. He grabs it and smacks Homestar with it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Raaaake!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dropping the rake}'' Somebody hand me a shovel!

''{A shovel is handed to him. He smacks Homestar with it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Shovel!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dropping the shovel}'' Somebody hand me a Garden Weasel!

''{A tool with a very spiky end is handed to Strong Bad. Again, he hits Homestar. Homestar comes back up with a "CENSORED" sign over his face; bruises and a stream of blood can be seen around it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{calmly}'' Aw, a Weasel.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{wiping his brow}'' Phew.

''{Pan over to show Marzipan, holding the rake and shovel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, Marzipan!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Always happy to help!

''{Cut to the Lappy. Strong Bad sits down in front of it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sorry, Lappy. My triumphant return to checking emails calls for some fresh blood!

''{He closes the Lappy, leaving a faint backwards "Lappy 486" in the wall behind it. He pushes it off to the side.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Tech nerds, feast your eyes... on ''Steak Sandwich!''

''{He places said sandwich on the desk in front of him to a trumpet fanfare. Cut to a solo image of the sandwich.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Steaky Steaky 6 Millenium Edition ''{a steak-shaped logo for this appears in the corner}'' is a processing wonder horse, capable of sauteed onions, ''{a logo for "Sauteed Onions Ghz" appears}'' grilled mushrooms, ''{a logo for "Grilled Mushrooms 32x" appears}'' and all right, never mind.

''{The Steak logo swivels as though its left side was no longer supported while the other logos fall off the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' This is just a steak sandwich, isn't it?

''{Cut to a rear view of the desk, as Strong Bad looks at the sandwich.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, I guess I'm a little... out-of-practice with this stuff. ''{to the Lappy}'' All right, Lappy, you can stay alive for at least one more week.

''{He pushes the sandwich aside and returns the Lappy to its rightful position. He opens the Lappy and a startup tone is heard. Cut to behind Strong Bad. The Female Lappy is visible.}''

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' Another week with you, Strong Bad, is like 8 dog-weeks in cat-years.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, are you sure you're not Senor Cardgage's computer?

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' ''{from offscreen}'' No...

''{Cut back to show Senor Cardgage standing near Strong Bad, holding the sandwich.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' This steak samwich is Beverly ''clearly'' my compooter, Bathsheba.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{smiling}'' Hey, Cardgage! D'you wanna help me come out of e-tirement?

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Ummmmm... no.

''{Strong Bad lowers his head in disappointment. Senor Cardgage turns around and starts walking in place, while sounds of traffic are heard. Strong Bad looks up in confusion, and starts to nervously lean back.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm quite scared right now.

''{Cut to the Lappy as Strong Bad turns back to it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's start over. ''{types "strongbad_email.exe"}'' Oh, man, I haven't checked my email in so long, I bet there's gonna be a half-zillion messages waiting for me!

''{He presses Return. The following comes up with a ding: "Oh, smokes! You have 2 new messages!", which are "Coolness" from "Kelly" and "Thanks for loaning me your rake" from "Homestar".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Well, a half-''four'' messages waiting for me isn't bad. ''{He brings up "Coolness".}''

<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: coolness</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
What was the coolest explosion you ever saw? 
 
From, 
Kelly 
USA
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad echos his own name. He says Kelly's name in a slightly seductive tone, leading into "USA" as "Oosa".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mmmm! An exotic lady from the far east! ''{typing}'' That's kind of a vague question don'tcha think? That's like me asking, "Dear Kelly, what's your favorite molecule of air that you've breathed?" ''{not typed}'' Or... ''{clears screen, typing:}'' "What's your favorite Strong Bad muscle that you wanted to rub with hot oils?" You gotta narrow it down somehow. Like, do you wanna know about the coolest looking explosion I ever rigged up in Strong Sad's org-ethnic breakfast pouch on a Tuesday?

''{Cut to the kitchen of the Brothers Strong. Strong Bad is eating from a cereal bowl with a spoon. Strong Sad is standing next to him, wearing a tuxedo, and looking expectantly at a toaster.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{poorly acting}'' Mmm. This cereal is sooooo cerealy.

''{The toaster pops up a breakfast pastry with a conspicuous red light on it. Strong Sad catches it. Over the next line, the light begins to blink faster and faster while making ticking noises.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, child! I am gonna enjoy this saag paneer Pop-Tart with a vengeance! Then I've got to go stand around in this tuxedo with a ven— OOOHHH!!

''{The Pop-Tart explodes into green goo, which gets all over Strong Sad and leaves a green stain on the wall behind him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Waa-ha-ha-ha!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Or do you wanna know like, the coolest explosion I ever saw that had one of those blast-wavy Saturn rings around it that've become so popular lately.

''{Cut to Strong Bad in his bathroom, holding a newspaper.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 'Cuz I've caused ''plenty'' of those.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But the coolest part was actually later on, when I was telling Coach Z all about it.

''{Cut to the Athletic Field. Strong Bad is talking to Coach Z.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And so first, there was this little explosion, that was like "Doooooosh!" ''{some drops of spit fly away from him toward Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' Ya don't say?

'''STRONG BAD:''' And then secondary charges blew and it was like, "Ka-plssshhhhh!" ''{more drops of spit fly toward Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' You say?

'''STRONG BAD:''' And finally one of those blast-wavy Saturn rings that've become so popular lately shot out, and was like "PSSSSSSHHHHH!!!!"

''{Strong Bad draws out the explosion. A wave of spit drops fly toward Coach Z. Coach Z pulls out a bar of soap and a bottle of "PORT PLUS +". He rubs the soap on his body and dumps some shampoo over his hat. He then tosses the bottle away and rubs his hat, which becomes sudsy.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Thanks for the great story, Strong Bad! I was gonna hit the showers, but now I don't has to!

''{Strong Bad spits a few more drops toward Coach Z. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Everybody knows that the more spit it takes to describe an explosion, the cooler said explosion was. ''And'' the cooler said explosion-talker-abouter is!

''{Cut to Strong Sad talking to Coach Z in the Athletic Field.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And then my saag paneer Pop-Tart said it like... "Ptoo."

''{A single large drop of spit flies toward Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{angrily}'' Are you kiddin' me? I can't even warsh my hands with that mess!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But if history has taught us anything, then we all know that the coolest explosions have come from my very own computers.

''{A quick montage results where the Tandy explodes, throwing Strong Bad back, Strong Bad knocks the Tandy off the desk with an inexplicable explosion, Bubs' shotgun blows a hole in the Compy, Strong Mad gulps from a mini-explosion from the Compy, and the Tandy explodes in a green pixelated mushroom cloud with Homestar nearby. Cut back to the Lappy, with the female Lappy visible.}''

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' But waimt, Strong Bad, does that means?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm afraid so, sweet Lappy. I figured that USB self-destruct button I bought a couple weeks ago woulda clued you in.

''{Cut to a closeup of a big red button with "dooj" written on it, connected to the Lappy via USB. Then cut to a rear view of the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But... it's time. ''{Cut to behind Strong Bad}'' Why wait around for someone else to blow up your computer tomorrow when you can blow it up yourself today?

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' You should put that on your bwees-ness cards.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mock-sadly}'' That's a great idea, Lappy. ''{cut to rear view of the desk}'' Good bye. ''{presses the button}'' Dooj.

''{Cut to a silhouette of the house with a tree beside it. The explosion knocks the tree away and blows the roof clear of the house. Two shockwaves appear as part of the explosion. A ghostly image of the Female Lappy icon with fangs appears in the explosion.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So popular lately.

''{Cut to Bubs and Coach Z on lawn chairs, watching the explosion.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oooooor! Awwwwwr! 
'''BUBS:''' Ooooooh! Awwwwww!

'''COACH Z:''' I can't wait till Strong Bad tells me 'bout that one. I'm'a go ahead and strip down to da nude!

'''BUBS:''' ''{pointing at Coach Z}'' Ponk!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, standing next to the desk. Strong Bad himself is unharmed, but the desk it broken in two from the explosion, and the paint has been torn away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And now that—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{poking in from the side}'' Don't call it a comeback.

'''STRONG BAD:''' —is what I call—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't call it a comeback.

'''STRONG BAD:''' —a—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{disappears off the side and reappears upside-down}'' Don't call it a comeback.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{jumping forward on his knee}'' —comeback!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{disappears and reappears rightside-up, makes an annoyed sigh}''

''{Homestar disappears while Strong Bad looks upward.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, if a paper survived that, maybe come down... now?

''{Black ashes fall from the top of the screen. Strong Bad looks down at them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Looks like I need a new one of those, too.

==Easter Eggs==
*When the [[Lappy]] tells [[Strong Bad]] to put his catch phrase about computer destruction on his "bwees-ness" cards, click "bwees-ness card" to see a business card for a computer destruction business.
*At the end, click on the hole in the wall to see an exchange between [[Strong Sad]] as the Gardenboy from [[yes, wrestling]] and [[The Announcer]].
:''{Cut to a scene at the [[Gymnasium]] with The Announcer at the left and Garden Boy at the right}''
:'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, you know, announcer man, that's right! All you gophers out there better listen up! The Magnificent Marzipan stole all Garden Boy's garden tools, and I don't care if she's a women's champion, a men's champion, a half woman-half man's champion... Uh, do we have one of those?
:'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Uh, yes, I believe we do.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, can I fight them instead?

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Saag|Saag paneer]] is an Indian curry based dish consisting of spinach, mustard leaf, and cheese.

===Trivia===
[[File:Homestar uncensored.png|thumb|"Aw, a Weasel."]]
*The hiatus between [[email thunder]] and this email (280 days, or nine months and one week) is the longest gap between any two Strong Bad Emails.
*Although it is only visible for a fraction of a second, the text on Homestar's desk has now been changed to "Still this guy!"
*When the Flash file is decompiled, Homestar's battered face is visible behind the censored box.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container|mega race]]".
*This episode marks the first time Strong Bad actually acknowledges how creepy [[Senor Cardgage]] is.
*This is the first time the exterior of [[House of the Brothers Strong|Strong Bad's house]] is shown outside of [[SBCG4AP]].

===Remarks===
*In his flashback, Strong Bad knocks the broken [[Tandy 400]] off his desk to an explosion. There was no such explosion in [[invisibility]]. But was in fact in [[gimmick]]
* In [[virus]], the virus caused everything to become corrupted. As part of the corruption, Bubs' shotgun resembled Homestar's leg. However, in the flashback, the shotgun is clearly still a shotgun even before the [[Compy 386]] is shot.
* Homestar Runner's email was not blocked by Edgar's Baby's Daddy or his Idiot Filter, as all Homestar emails are in [[candy product]] and [[Strong Badia the Free]], respectively.

===Goofs===
*When Homestar is hit with the Garden Weasel, his face is still visible. The bruises, scars, and blood only appear ''after'' the camera zooms in.
*When the ashes of the New Paper come down, they fall in front of Strong Bad, but after, some are behind Strong Bad on the floor.
*When Strong Bad is holding the Garden Weasel and wiping his head, the arm wiping his head is not visible.

===Inside References===
*The text on the mug on Homestar's desk appears to read "Auntie Gertr♥de's Tea", which is likely a reference to [[Aunt Gert]], the pantyhose doll from [[garage sale]].
*[[Onomatopoeia|Dooj]], as the USB self-destruct button reads, is a common sound effect used for explosions in the Homestar Runner Universe.
*The scene of Bubs and Coach Z in the field is reminiscent of [[Happy Fireworks]], in which the two watched [[fireworks]] in a similar fashion.
**Likewise, the can of [[Cold One#Coldson Lite|Coldson Lite]] reappears.
*The Easter egg at the end of the toon is a reference to the email [[yes, wrestling]], in which Strong Sad takes on the wrestling persona of the Gardenboy.
*The entire toon is about [[explosions]].

''{A pair of red shorts with white fur lining and a gold belt buckle appears, on which is superimposed the title: "DECEMBERWEEN Short Shorts". Snowflakes fall and synthesized music plays.}''

''{The scene changes to The Brick Wall, on which Strong Bad is writing on a piece of paper. As he writes, the words appear on a note at the top of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dear Tube Socks, It's me again. I hope you had a good year. Free of athletes' feet and toe jams.

''{Zoom in close on Strong Bad, pan left slowly}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lemme cut to the chase. On Decemberween morning, when I open you guys up, you're going to hear...things. Hurtful things. Unforgivable things. Things like,

''{Cut to Strong Bad opening tube socks with The Cheat at a decorated The Stick.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhhh...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't you believe a word of it, Tube Socks. I love you guys. I don't know what I'd do without my yearly pair.

''{Zoom out to a silhouette of the scene}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But a guy's gotta keep up appearances, right? If peoples found out I have a soft spot for tube socks, it'd be all over. ''{a pair of tube socks appears, and the stripes cycle between several colors.}'' It took me years to live down that Martina...

''{Cut to a poster of Martina Navratilova playing tennis on the wall of The Basement}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...Navratilova poster, and I will not go down that road again.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad writing his note at The Brick Wall.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We can be secret friends. Like that hunchback kid at school. In closing, please disregard any and all negative comments or negative burning you may hear or experience on Decemberween. Stealthily Yours, Strong Bad.

''{Strong Bad draws a picture of his head with bat wings, a heart with an apostrophe and the letter "s", and a pair of tube socks.}''

''{Cut to the title screen shot of the Decemberween shorts and accompanying music.}''

''{The scene changes to a Decemberween tree with ornaments representing Strong Sad, Bubs, Homestar Runner, Pom Pom, Strong Bad, Coach Z, and The King of Town.}''

''{Zoom in on the Coach Z ornament.}''

'''COACH Z ORNAMENT:''' Heck no! The '74s was the prime of my dating year! In those days, ladies would go out with ''anything'' that had a mustache.

''{Zoom back out to the rest of the ornaments.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER ORNAMENT:''' Hey, Strong Bad, I really like your rhinestone cowboy costume.

'''STRONG BAD ORNAMENT:''' Uh, you got the wrong 'ween, Homestar. This is Decemberween. Not the Hallow- one.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER ORNAMENT:''' Oh... right, right. Trick-or-treat!

''{Zoom in on the Strong Bad ornament.}''

'''STRONG BAD ORNAMENT:''' Does anybody know where Strong Sad is?

''{Pan to the Strong Sad ornament, which is made of clear glass and therefore transparent.}''

'''STRONG SAD ORNAMENT:''' Uh, hello. I'm right here!

''{Zoom back out to the rest of the ornaments.}''

'''STRONG BAD ORNAMENT:''' Whoa, I can hardly see you! You're like the Predator up there.

''{Zoom in on the Strong Sad ornament.}''

'''STRONG SAD ORNAMENT:''' No, I'm like the most expensive ornament on this tree by about forty-five dollars!

''{Zoom back out to the rest of the ornaments.}''

'''STRONG BAD ORNAMENT:''' Oh yeah? Well my four-point-five cents of plastic sequins and styrofoam are about to bedazzle you right offa this tree! ''{sparkles and shines while warbling}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER, COACH Z, AND THE KING OF TOWN ORNAMENTS:''' ''{in amazement}'' Ooh!

''{The Strong Sad ornament shakes, screams, falls, and shatters on the ground. The camera pans down to the base of the tree where his broken remains are next to a Decemberween present with an "M" on the front and a couple of yellow ribbons for eyebrows.}''

'''STRONG MAD PRESENT:''' HAPPY DECEMBERWEEN!

''{Cut to the title screen shot of the Decemberween shorts and accompanying music.}''

''{The scene changes to The Homestar Runner in the snow-covered Old-Timey Field, wearing a winter cap and holding a dead rat in front of a decorated pile of other dead rats. Music plays in the background.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' This here's gonna be the biggest Decemberween rat pile in town. ''{throws dead rat onto the pile}''

'''RUMBLE RED:''' Eh, rumble. ''{superimposed several times upon itself as he appears}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{scowls at Rumble Red}'' Aw, phooey. And after that, pooey. Not you again.

'''RUMBLE RED:''' Earthling, explain to me this pile of rotten rodentia...rumble.

''{Zoom in on The Homestar Runner}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's Decemberween, Rumble Red. ''{holds up a dead rat}'' The most sanitary time of year. ''{Zoom out}'' When everyone piles up all the dead rats they've a-cooma-lated throughout the year.

''{Zoom in on Rumble Red}''

'''RUMBLE RED:''' We don't have any Decemberweens on ''my'' planeeeeet, rumble.

'''OLD-TIMEY MARZIPAN:''' Happy Decemberween, Rumble Red. ''{hands him the dynamite}''

'''RUMBLE RED:''' Cosmic joy! ''{Zoom in}'' I think this buffalo has showed me the true meaning of December-rumble-ween!

''{Camera zooms out. The ticking grows quicker, the top of the dynamite pops open, with [[Old-Timey Marzipan's Contraption]] revealing a large pistol, out of which a cement mixer emerges and drops a bear trap around Rumble Red. The bear trap closes and decapitates him. Music plays and his body dances.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Haw, Haw, Haw. 
'''OLD-TIMEY MARZIPAN:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Hee, Hee, Hee.

''{A black screen saying ''THE END'' covers everything except for a circle around The Homestar Runner's face}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' A Decemberween tradition! ''{the circle closes to black}''

''{Cut to the title screen shot of the Decemberween shorts and accompanying music.}''

''{The scene changes to The Brick Wall, on which Strong Sad is writing on a piece of paper. As he writes, the words appear on a note at the top of the screen.}''

''{Homestar Runner is wearing a cricket helmet in the locker room with Coach Z, who has a clipboard. He puts the helmet in an open locker and then puts a rolled up towel around his neck and closes the locker.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wow, what a great season, Coach Z.

'''COACH Z:''' You said it, crumb bum. We was undeforted!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ohh, ''Coach Zeeee!''

'''COACH Z:''' I've hit rack battom!

''{Zoom out to Homestar Runner, as music begins to play.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing and dancing}'' A-listen to me now. Cheer up, Coach Z. It doesn't have to be creepy and depressing all the time.

''{Zoom in on Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' For real?

''{Homestar appears in The Classroom in front of a blackboard with the words "NOTE TO SELF:" written on it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' If you learn to say words right,

''{The words "SAY WOUDS WIDE!" are written on the blackboard as Homestar says "say words right".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' You'll find out people might

''{Coach Z appears in the snowy Field sitting on a soapbox with a puke pail and a sign that reads, "CHAT WITH ME ON SPEC!"}''

''{Homestar Runner returns to the locker scene, hanging from the top of the screen}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing offscreen}'' ...and there's not a single present beneath your tree.

''{Pan to a pile of green towels decorated with an ornament, Blue Star ointment, underwear, and a sign reading: "THIS SPACE FOR RENT (ON SPEC!)"}''

''{Homestar Runner appears in front of "FIGURE 1-A", a diagram of Coach Z and Bubs, with a question mark in a word balloon coming from the latter's head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' When someone asks you, "What's up?"

''{A word balloon with a picture of Coach Z's butt comes from Coach Z's head. Bubs covers his forehead with his arm.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' ...don't tell him about your butt, ''{a "no" symbol appears on top of Coach Z's word balloon}''

''{Cut back to the locker room scene}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' or any embarrassing physical problems you might have.

''{"FIGURE 1-B" appears, Coach Z standing on a dance floor. One of Pom Pom's girls descends from the top of the screen in front of Coach Z.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{spoken offscreen}'' On second thought, don't talk to any pretty girls.

''{The girl is yanked offscreen by a cane and Coach Z hangs his head.}''

''{The scene returns to Homestar in front of the Coach Z background, this time wiggling vertically.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' and you'll find yourself invited,

''{Cut to a wanted poster of Coach Z on a brick wall which reads, "FOR CREEPY STYLES AND CREEPIER HABITS"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing offscreen}'' and probably way less indicted, ''{the poster is torn down the middle}''

''{Return to the locker room scene, in which Homestar is now standing with the cricket helmet on his head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' And you won't have to spend Decemberween alone! ''{Homestar takes off his helmet and shakes it on the last word.}''

''{Coach Z climbs out of the locker as the Listerine bottles fall to the ground.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, thanks for the advice, Homestar! I'd love to come to your house for Decemberween!

''{Zoom in on Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What? No, no-ho-ho! No, no, no. No, Coach Z, no. No. ''{glaring}'' No, you can't.

''{The scene ends and a modified title screen appears, with the Decemberween shorts, falling snowflakes, music, and the word "End."}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Argyle (pattern)|Argyle]] is a pattern containing diamonds in a diagonal checkerboard arrangement.
*On [[Wikipedia:Speculation|Spec]] refers to doing work without the assurance of income.
*"D'screetret Santa" is a play on the Christmas gift-exchange practice of "[[Wikipedia:Secret Santa|Secret Santa]]".
*The "und" from Coach Z's list is the [[Wikipedia: German|German]] word for "and".
*What Rumble Red does have on his planet (long lines, expensive bread) is a reference to the state of affairs in the Soviet Union prior to its collapse, when the Soviets had to stand in extremely long lines to receive their rations, and when staple foods like bread were scarce, and therefore expensive to procure. This relates to The Homestar Runner calling Rumble Red a "Communist fool" in [[4 branches]]. Also, "red" is a common nickname for a communist.
*In general, a [[Wikipedia:Rhinestone Cowboy|rhinestone cowboy]] is any man who wears the elaborate, stylized western wear made by rodeo tailors, especially as contrasted to a working cowboy or ranch hand.

===Trivia===
[[Image:Last3itemsinpantry.PNG|thumb|A meal fit for a King of Town.]]
*"The King of Town's Last Three Items in the Pantry Special!" reads:
<blockquote>
The King of Town's 
Last Three Items in the Pantry Special! 
onion salt 
hot sauce 
lumps of coal 
$f.ood 
</blockquote>

*Coach Z's clipboard reads:
<blockquote>
plays: 
-the runaround 
-the picket fence 
-the stanislaw 
-the local gentry 
-cake und pie 
-eyeball eyeball
</blockquote>

===Remarks===
[[Image:XweenHandwriting.png|thumb|Handwriting comparison]]
*The AhnbergHand [[font]] that Strong Bad uses for writing his letter has a modified uppercase "I". The uppercase I in this font normally has a dot on it and is often mistaken for a [[Lowercase i's|lowercase i]]. However, Strong Bad does not use the capital I consistently; he still uses lowercase i's at the beginning of two sentences.
*In Strong Bad's letter, he remarks about how much he secretly likes tube socks, yet the picture he draws at the bottom shows socks that have a distinct heel.
*When Strong Bad writes his letter, the words on the paper he's writing on are illegible. When Strong Sad writes his letter, it is legible. 
*The way Homestar has a towel around his neck gives the impression that he has [[Lack of Visible Arms|shoulders]].
*Ironically, Strong Bad makes an appearance as what he considers to be "an anti gift": a homemade ornament (as seen in [[what I want]]).
*Considering Strong Sad does not seem to have normal [[Soolnds|feet]], it is odd that he would want a pair of Argyle socks for [[Decemberween]].
*When the Strong Sad ornament falls off the tree, he breaks as soon as he leaves the frame. Given that the bottom of the frame is well above the ground, he is smashed before he actually hits it.

===Goofs===
*In the locker room short, the ends of Homestar Runner's towel are rolled in contradictory directions.
*In the song Homestar sings to Coach Z, the word "say" on the chalkboard moves when the word "wouds" comes up.
*When Homestar tells Coach Z "No!" (that he can't come to his house) half of Homestar's towel is broken in half behind his head.
*When it zooms up to the Homestar cookie, the ribbon holding him to the branch isn't completely there.

===Inside References===
*This collection of Decemberween shorts is the second collection of short shorts (the first being [[Summer Short Shorts]]).
*The 1974 Coach Z ornament was first seen in [[what I want]].
*The Blue Star [[Ointment and Old Person Rub|Ointment]] at the top of Coach Z's tree was first seen in [[Halloween Fairstival]].
*Strong Bad was seen modeling for [[tube socks]] in the email [[modeling]].
*The Homestar Runner's hat is based on the one modern-day Homestar wears in the wintertime.
*The scene with Coach Z and Homestar feature many references:
**Coach Z was also seen with [[Listerine]] in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[senior prom]].
**Coach Z getting drunk from Listerine is another reference to [[alcohol]].
**Coach Z sits on the [[Soapbox]].
**Coach Z's clipboard mentions [[pie]] and [[cake]].
**The [[Puke Pail]] next to Coach Z is the same one as in [[Sick Day]], but now says 'PUKE PAIL FOR WHOEV!' instead of 'PUKE PAIL FOR HIM!'.
*This is another appearance of "[[What are you supposed to be?]]".
*Rumble Red was first seen in [[4 branches]].
*"D'screetret" is a [[portmanteau]] of "discreet" and "secret".
*Strong Sad's broken ornament is a reference to [[Death#Strong Sad|his imagined death]].
*The King of Town's Last Three Items in the Pantry Special is an example of a [[concoction]].
*The "bat-winged Strong Bad head" in Strong Bad's signature was last seen in [[interview]].
*This is another instance of [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship#Strong Bad Hurting Strong Sad|Strong Bad hurting Strong Sad]].
*When Strong Bad and Strong Sad write about socks, the writing at the top is a similar to a scene from [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], in which Strong Sad writes Strong Bad a letter.
*Coach Z saying that the '74s were the prime of his dating "year" is an example of [[Singular Instead of Plural]].
*The King of Town's "Last Three Items in the Pantry Special" isn't quite, but technically a [[Real-Live Foods|live-action food]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Martina Navratilova|Martina Navratilova]] is a former World No. 1 woman tennis player.
*The [[Wikipedia:Predator (alien)|Predator]] is a fictional alien hunter from the movie series of the same name. He could turn invisible by using light refraction.
*Strong Bad and Strong Sad writing letters on a wall is a reference to the [[Peanuts]] Christmas Specials, where the characters write letters to Santa in the same position.
*The Strong Bad ornament "bedazzling" the Strong Sad ornament off the tree may be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Bedazzler|Bedazzler]], which uses cheap, shiny plastic beads much like the Strong Bad ornament.
*The "Picket Fence" is a basketball play from the film ''[[Wikipedia: Hoosiers|Hoosiers]]'', specifically the one used by tiny Hickory High School to win the [[Indiana]] state title.
*Another one of Coach Z's plays is called "the local gentry". ''[[Wikipedia: Gentry|Gentry]]'' are higher class members of society, such as rich people or those of good breeding. The term "the local gentry" was used in the song [[Wikipedia: Love and Marriage|"Love and Marriage"]], made famous by [[Wikipedia: Frank Sinatra|Frank Sinatra]] and later used as the theme song of the TV show ''[[Wikipedia: Married with Children|Married with Children]]''.
*The format of this toon could be a reference to shows such as ''[[Wikipedia:Charlie Brown's Christmas Tales|Charlie Brown]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Simpsons Christmas Stories|The Simpsons]],'' both of which recently have had Christmas specials composed of shorts.
*The format may also be a reference to the shorts that are used in [[Wikipedia:The Red Green Show|The Red Green Show]].
*Homestar thinking Strong Bad is a "Rhinestone Cowboy" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Rhinestone Cowboy|song of the same name]] by [[Wikipedia:Glen Campbell|Glen Campbell]].

===Fast Forward===
*The song 'Cheer up Coach Z' appears again in [[Hooked on Decemberween]].

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

'''MIKE:''' Look it's—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping Mike}'' All right, we're gonna start by pumping our fists in the air and going "woo, woo, woo" guys.

'''MIKE:''' Okay, one, two, three...

''{Mike, Matt and Ryan are heard going, "Whoo, whoo, whoo!" in unison}''

'''MATT:''' All right.

'''RYAN:''' ''{overlapping Matt}'' Start us off.

'''MIKE:''' Nice shorts, Matt!

'''MATT:''' Hey, those are— that's not my gross legs! ''{Mike and Ryan laugh}'' I don't know ''whose'' gross legs...

'''MIKE:''' Our aunt Carol gives us tube socks usually; it's a great, uh, Christmas present.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''RYAN:''' Do you still have those shorts?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. They were boxers, right?

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping Mike}'' Yeah, they're still around here somewhere. Aren't they Photoshopped, too? Didn't you Photoshop that picture, because they didn't— they weren't quite short enough? ''{Mike laughs}'' And so we— I had to fold 'em over...

'''MIKE:''' Oh, that's right.

'''MATT:''' ...uh, to make them a little creepier. And then, uh, you Photoshopped the waistband, I think. ''{pause}'' It's funny, 'cause th— there was a period where Aunt Carol gave us the tube socks and it was lame, 'cause you were, like, in, you know, it was, like, in—

'''MIKE:''' Seventh or eighth grade and you wanted a Nintendo game.

'''MATT:''' Right. Or you just didn't want— you didn't wear tube socks with stripes on 'em. Then it was, like, you got into, like, ninth grade and you listened to the Chili Peppers and you— and it was ''weird''...

'''MIKE:''' You needed it—

'''MATT:''' ...and so you pull your socks ''way'' up to your knees.

'''MIKE:''' W—

'''MATT:''' And, uh...

'''MIKE:''' The Chili Peppers did ''different'' things with tube socks...

''{Matt laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' ...than pull them up to their knees.

'''MATT:''' Uh... but so, they— her— her gift kind of went in and out of— of being cool.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. I hate 'em now, actually.

'''MATT:''' No, no!

'''MIKE:''' I'm sure when I'm 36 I'll like 'em again. But as a 34-year-old, they're lame.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' That's, uh... you did a good job on the— that looks like gingerbread, Mike. That's— I wanna eat— I wanna eat that. But it looks like one of those gingerbread ornaments that's, like, dried and gross.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that's— that's from, like, the— the late '70s.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping Mike}'' So, actually I don't— I don't wanna eat it.

'''MIKE:''' Our grandma had this, uh, gingerbread house that was sooo old... and terrible, but you still wanted to eat it!

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I mean, it was— it was amazing. There was nothing resembling, like, edible candy left on it. There were maybe a few gumdrops that had just, like, melted and were glazed over, but... I'd still pick at it, for sure. ''{Matt and Ryan laugh}''

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' ''{as the Strong Bad ornament talks about which 'ween it is}'' Somebody made that, right? Didn't we— Did we put that fanstuff up?

'''MIKE:''' I think it was a really bad picture.

'''MATT:''' Oh, is that what it was? It was, like, a cell phone picture?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' It was out of focus? But the—

'''RYAN:''' Go ahead and send it in, then.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

''{Mike Ryan laugh}''

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' Look how proud Strong Sad is of—

'''MATT:''' He's a Swarovski, maybe.

'''MIKE:''' What's that?

'''MATT:''' Don't they make fine crystal some— someplace. We got a Swarovski ornament for our— our— a wedding present, I remember.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' ''{doing Strong Sad's voice, just after the Strong Sad ornament falls off the tree}'' Oh!

''{pause, Mike and Matt laugh as the Strong Mad present does his line}''

'''MATT:''' Strong Mad can't be contained in the confines of a... ornament.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

''{brief pause as the Old-Timey scene begins}''

'''RYAN:''' Old-Timey.

'''MATT:''' It's been a long time s— This is the last Old-Timey thing we've done, aside from— aside from Rumble Red, uh, cameos, right?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. This was— Most of the Rumble Red was before this, right?

'''MATT:''' Well, just one. It w—

'''MIKE:''' Oh, okay.

'''MATT:''' It was really just the... polymascotfoamalate—

'''MIKE:''' Right.

'''MATT:''' —was where he came from, and then this... This is the first mention of his name, too, right? I mean—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think so.

'''MATT:''' —this is when they officially call him Rumble Red.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Uh, so, Mike and I have wa— There were these, umm, awesome industrial shorts — cartoons — from back in, what, the '50s, maybe?

'''MIKE:''' '50s, yeah.

'''MATT:''' '40s and '50s. That were, uh... always, like, an alien from another planet coming to Earth and learning about industry...

'''MIKE:''' Or learning about car production, or oil. Yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping Mike}'' Or learning about... competition, or gasoline. Yeah.

'''MATT:''' And they always were, like, "But on Mars, we don't do it like that!" ''{Mike laughs}'' "Well, that's why you're stupid, Mr. Martian!" And then he'd go back at the end and show them all.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' That's— They killed him. They just decapitated him.

''{brief pause while The Homestar Runner says, "A Decemberween tradition!"}''

'''MATT:''' Murdering aliens! That's ''great'', Old-Timey Homestar!

''{Mike and Matt chuckle as Strong Sad writes "Dear Argyle Socks,"}''

'''MATT:''' And we're out!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Umm... is there any more?

'''MATT:''' I like these short shorts. What's our next—

'''MIKE:''' Oh, we've got—

'''MATT:''' —short short gonna be, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Uhh... let's see. How 'bout "Ryan's Birthday Short Shorts"?

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' But we're a little late.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping Matt}'' When's your birthday? July?

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

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

'''RYAN:''' Maybe next year.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Maybe next year.

'''MATT:''' This, umm... This was gonna be a full cartoon, right? For, like, several years we had written— started to kind of write this full Decemberween cartoon about Coach Z being really depressing, and Homestar trying to make him not feel depressing.

'''MIKE:''' When was it— Was it... Decemberween the year before when Coach Z's talking on the... disconnected phone to his parents?

'''RYAN:''' Oh, yeah.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it was a couple years before. Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' But it was Decemberween that he was doing that? Eating by himself?

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Yeah. ''{laughing}'' It really brings out the worst in Coach Z. Decemberween.

''{Mike laughs}''

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Sounds like ''Homestar'' needs to learn to say wouds wide.

''{pause until Homestar begins floating across the screen, wiggling}''

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' What are y— What are you doing, Homestar?

''{Mike laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Wiggle, waggle.

'''MIKE:''' All right. Ryan? Your turn.

'''RYAN:''' Hey, guys.

'''MATT:''' See— I had originally made, uh, the cheeks of that giant Coach Z butt, like, pulsating.

''{Ryan laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' Ewwww...

'''MATT:''' It was a little— It was a little too creepy.

'''MIKE:''' The censors!

'''MATT:''' Yeah. It was, uh... It reminded me of some Ren & Stimpy thing. It seems like Stimpy's butt cheeks would always get really shiny and start, like, making the balloon noises, like...

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think— In "Happy Happy Joy Joy", I think he does some butt dancing.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' I like Homestar's construction hat/football helmet.

'''RYAN:''' ''{overlapping Matt}'' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' ''{also overlapping Matt}'' Football helmet.

'''MATT:''' There should be a real football— Some team, should just be the... The Construction Workers.

'''MIKE:''' The Steelers.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, there you go. The Steelworkers.

GreenHelmet: /* Well? */ I suppose lack of objection is a form of consesus

{{ttbd}}
== Combined article ==
There are potentially two questions to answer: (1) Should this be done? (2) If so, how should it be done? For the first question, I for one think it might be a good and quick way to read all the transcripts, and I like the way it groups similar things together. On the other hand, is it really that hard to go through each character's page? As for the second question, to avoid duplicating work, either the transcripts should all be moved here or some templates set up to include the verbiage both here and on each character's page. I'd go for the second option, since it requires less clicking for the reader. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:49, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
:This has been brought up ''again?'' I say '''delete''', since a sysop who knew what he was doing deleted it. '''Delete once more.''' {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 23:50, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
::Yes I did, I say '''Keep''', there's too much of this clicking to find the Character Transcipts of everyone, besides, this is ''is'' easier, Thank you [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]], I know I'll make this worth, two is all I could do, I say all the Transcripts etc. moved here.

::Michael: The article was previously deleted because the information is elsewhere. As I explained in my first post, however, there are ways to get around violating the once-and-only-once rule (by moving the data or using templates), and we organize the same data different ways all the time if we think it serves the reader (for example, all the Strong Bad Email lists). The issue of whether a combined page should be created for quick viewing has not to my knowledge been addressed, and should be. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:12, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
:::Personally I always found it odd that we stuck the character transcripts on the character pages, and it's something I've considered bringing up some time. I think they should all be on a different page, albeit perhaps a different name (like "Character Videos"), and have the character pages link to this one. {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 03:35, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
::::I like the character videos where they are: on separate pages, where they can have separate fun facts and separate filmographies. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:40, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
:::::I wouldn't be opposed to having a separate page for each one, in the style of <nowiki>[[(Name)'s Character Video]]</nowiki>. We have separate pages for all the other toons, and this would preserve the separate filmographies like dorian said. I also would not be opposed to having them contain noinclude tags for the headers and footers, to allow them all to be included on a central page like this one. I think i'll make some mock-ups in my userspace to make it clearer, just give me a little while. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 10:06, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
::::::Well, after a lot of experimenting with templates and totally flooding recent changes, i have discovered that it would be more difficult to do what i proposed than i initially thought... I'll give it more thought over the weekend and hopefully i'll have a better idea next week. Sorry for the flood, everyone. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 11:28, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
:It seems to make more sense here, but needs finsihing. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 22:34, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
::If the character videos are individual toons, shouldn't they deserve their own articles like all the other toons on the website? I never quite felt comfortable with the transcripts being merged with the character's articles. I quite like [[User:DeFender1031/CV/Homestar's Character Video|DeFender's prototype]] and can't quite see what difficulties he's referring to. It may take a bit of work to implement the idea, but it's not impossible and could work out well. We could provide links to each article at [[Character Videos]]! But whatever we do, I definitely do not like the idea of putting all twelve transcripts on one page, as things would then get cluttered. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 18:09, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
:::The difficulty was that the fun facts on the merge page need to be a header lower than on the individual page. though now that i think about it, i don't think we really should even have a merge page. We don't have pages that contain the transcripts for all of the strong bad emails in one place, do we? Though, on second thought, it might be nice to have all of the character intros in one place. The drawback is that the toon page has to have all sorts of noinclude tags all over the place that look out of place when editing sections and might confuse people. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:16, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
::::It would also be harder to find and link to specific transcripts if we used the merged article. We'd need to type [[Character Video Transcripts#Strong Bad Transcript]] instead of [[Strong Bad Character Video]] each time, for example. I also do not like the idea of putting all the Fun Facts for all 12 videos at the bottom of the page instead of just after the transcript where they came from. As for grouping all the intros together, we could use [[Character Videos]] to provide links in a similar manner to [[Character Evolutions]] and [[Minor Character Variations]]. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 18:50, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
:::::So you say forgo the merge page altogether, leave out the annoying template code, and just replace the links on the videos page with links to the toon articles rather than the character bios? sounds good to me. I'll do it if no one else has any objections, but one other option is to have a merge page containing just the transcripts and not the fun facts, and have a very limited amount of templating code on each video's page. I'll do whichever thing the community decides is best. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:59, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
::::::What about a page that links to each individual transcript, like the relationship page links to each individual character interaction -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.200|128.103.10.200]] 19:20, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

::Once again, i'm willing to do it, and i think each one shouyld have its own page. The only question is, should there be a combined page as well? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 08:22, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
:::[[HRWiki:Once And Only Once|You mean repeat all the transcripts on two different articles? No, there's no need for that.]] Just turn [[Character Videos]] into a disambiguation by providing links to each transcript. I look forward to seeing the transcripts as individual articles soon. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 19:28, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
Please keep this. It makes much more sense than spreading them apart.--[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 13:34, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
::Does it? I'm sorry but I still don't see a lot of sense in combining twelve different toons into one long article. To me, everything seems a bit squashed together, as if each of these transcripts denote a different section of one long toon, and none of the Fun Facts are anywhere near their respective toons. And as I have already said, if you wanted to link to a certain character video, instead of typing '''Homestar Runner's Character Video''' (which is easy enough to remember), you'd need to type '''Character Video Transcripts#Homestar Runner''' instead (which is much longer and harder to remember, especially if you're new to the wiki). I know that redirect pages can take care of these sort of mistakes, but we tend to avoid linking to redirect pages when we should really be linking to the article's correct title. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 14:28, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
:::I think the transcripts should be on separate pages from the character's article, and each on it's own page. Even though they are short, they are separate toons on the site. If it's easy then we can do the <code><nowiki><noinclude></nowiki></code> tags such that the transcript can be transcluded into the character articles. I think it would be fine to just include body the transcript itself (i.e. omit the fun facts etc), with a link to the full transcript. I don't see a benefit in having one big article, a short disambig-type page could be put here. Or if the listing in [[Character Videos]] is updated appropriately, this page could simply redirect there. —[[Special:Contributions/98.222.134.36|98.222.134.36]] 16:11, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
:: Count me as another in favor of each video having a separate page. They are individual toons, even if they're not very long and have a shared navigation page. A toon does not belong on a character's page, and I don't know why it's been the way it is for so long. --[[User:TimMierz|TimMierz]] 20:26, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

== Well? ==

It's been well over a month since the last edit on this article. Have we all agreed to create individual articles for each character video? Who's going to carry out the task? {{User:The Chort/sig}} 19:39, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
:I don't know, but it isn't going to be me. I'm in favor of it, though. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 19:43, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
::I am in favor of a single article per video. I'm not entirely sure the discussion above constitutes a clear consensus though, so now that you've reminded us about it, it seems appropriate to leave a little time for anyone who strongly dissents to express their opinion (not another whole month though). I'm more than happy to do it if that is what we agree on (I see in the discussion above that others are also, so I wouldn't worry about finding someone to implement the change). {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 19:55, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
:::No one responded...What now? {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 20:33, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
::::I too am in favor of having an article for each video. [[User:Omnisweater|Omnisweater]] 03:27, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
:::::I think at this point, no one has raised an objection and so we should move ahead with creating the separate articles, and replacing the transcript section in each characters' article with a link to them.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{zoom in on Strong Bad}''

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

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

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

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

''{zoom in on Homestar}''

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

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

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

'''COACH Z:''' Wazzat?

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

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

''{Bubs starts to look annoyed at Coach Z, then descends into his basement, as if on an elevator. The interior of the concession stand darkens, lit with an overhead light.}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{An alarm klaxon goes off, with red flashing lights. The King of Town turns his head right as the straw drops to the table and looks up to see the "Eat a Lot of Food Alert".}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

*When Strong Bad types in the word "Hazbro", you can click on it to see the latest issue of [[Strong Badman]].
*At the end click on Pom Pom to see the continued chat of Coach Z and Bubs:
:'''BUBS:''' Well, email 187 is in the can.
:'''COACH Z:''' 1-8-7...? Oooohhh! Get down! ''{covers head}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*"IN" is the US postal abbreviation of [[Indiana]].
*[[Wikipedia:187 (murder)|187]] {{inlinecontentwarning|mild language|This Wikipedia article contains mild language}} is the California Penal Code section that defines murder. It has come into general use among gangs in the United States as a synonym for murder, and this usage has passed into popular culture via gangsta rap.
*[[Spokane]] is a city in Washington state.
*"NC-17" is an [[Wikipedia:Motion Picture Association of America film rating system|MPAA]] rating which stands for "No Children 17 and Under Admitted".
*"{{p|l=http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=hooptie Hooptie}}" is an urban slang term for an older, usually beat up, car.
*[[Bill Cosby]] was the longtime spokesman for the [[Wikipedia:Jell-O|Jell-O]] brand.
*"Smack it like a newborn's biscuit" refers to the practice of spanking a newborn so that it will cry and use its lungs.

===Trivia===
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#4-D boxing|4-D boxing]]".
*The summary on the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad shows the fun and dangers of filling a pool with Red Flavored Fluffy Puff Translucent Dessert Related Substance."

===Remarks===
*This is the first time Strong Bad's mouth has appeared in any irregular shape.
*The Swimming Pool's tiles around the edges are blue-and-white-checked in this email instead of their regular red-and-white checks.
*The "Environmentally Compliant Sticker" sticker from [[environment]] is not present on the Lappy 486.
*The toilet seat did not leave an empty trail behind it while sinking like Strong Bad did. Homestar didn't have one either, although the gelatin might've already filled up the trail had said trail existed.
*One of the patches of gelatin on Strong Bad's pants is shaped like Florida.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Strawgoof.png|thumb|My reality-bending talents are needed!]]
*In The King of Town's first scene, his crazy drinking straw pokes out of the pink goop he's drinking and over the edge of the bowl due to a masking error in [[Flash]].
*After Pom Pom rebounds off of the gelatin, the sunscreen on his "nose" disappears.
*When Strong Bad says that Homestar got paid for the Fluffy Puff Marshmallows commercials he has made, he pronounces "Marshmallows," without the final "s."

===Fixed Goofs===
*When Strong Sad said "any second now." his mouth didn't move. This was fixed the next day.

===Inside References===
*Two of Homestar's appearances in Fluffy Puff commercials include [[Fluffy Puff Commercial|the similarly-named toon on the site]] and a cameo appearance in [[Malloween Commercial]].
*The Fluffy Puff translucent substance being "Red Flavored" is a [[color flavored]] food.
*Gel-arshie's [[brain]] is visible.
*Bubs descends into his basement, as he previously did in [[geddup noise]].
*The King of Town is watching [[Caleb Rentpayer]]. He was previously shown to watch the show in [[secret recipes]].
*"Break yourself" was also used as a pun on "brace yourself" in [[Shopping for Danger]].
*The spaceship floating near Pom Pom in space is from the "un-aired pilot" in the email [[theme song]], but with "40-E" written on it.

('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Strong Bad]])

{{inlinecontentwarning|mild language|This DVD commentary contains mild language}}

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, great, Mike's here, for this commentary.

'''MIKE:''' Why don't you host, and I'll be like I'm visiting you in the booth.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Yeah. Yeah, so I'm always here, and Mike is, uh, you, he conned me in here— he wore a hot lady outfit and was like ''{high-pitched voice}'' "Oh, can I do the commentary?", ''{normally}'' so I said "Oh, hello baby", and he came in, and he took the— the, uh, basket— mini-basketballs out of his shirt and revealed that he was Mike.

'''MIKE:''' ''{high-pitched}'' But I'm gonna still talk in my hot lady voice this whole commentary.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Please. N— no.

'''MIKE:''' I'm a southern belle.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, I'm gonna start it over.

'''MIKE:''' I declare!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughing}'' All right.

'''MIKE:''' ''{normally}'' All right, I'm done. I declare. You gotta say "I declare" if you're a southern belle.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. Oh, or if you're a southern gentleman. You're gonna be drinking a mint julep and a white hat and you have to declare some things.

'''MIKE:''' All right, let's talk about this email, though.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that's some good globs, squares of gelatin. Oh! Oh! No, let's not talk about this ever again!

'''MIKE:''' It's Gel-arshie!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why! I never thought he could get worse.

'''MIKE:''' He's got a single organ.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{starts out loud, and grows quiet}'' Yeah, and it's his brain.

'''MIKE:''' It's a brain.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh... ''{makes a gargling sound}'' He makes me— every time I see that guy, I go ''{makes the same gargling sound}''. He makes me gargle.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''STRONG BAD:''' And I'm not gagging, he makes me gargle.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' With... saliva?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. This is a depressing time, when like, there's only— this is like the time of the winter when there's just the gross piles of snow in the, like, Wal-Mart parking lot.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, after the fun snow's gone.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, there's no snow covering the ground anymore, it's just, like, in gutters, and it's black, and it smells like a stink.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Mn-hnn. Mn-hnn. ''{laughs}''.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Like an oil stink. Whaddaya—

'''MIKE:''' It seems like you could make some good snowballs with that, with those, though.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, but you, it's like hardened. You gotta just to chip it out. ''{pause}'' Look at those st— stub— stubble arm Bubs.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Yeah, his arms are a little smaller than usual there.

'''STRONG BAD:''' They're fat. They're fat and stubby. Bubs, are you feeling okay? ''{pause}'' Oh. Oh, the fake name stories. I love, my favorite is when, like, a real adult, like a, like, y'know, a forty-something year old woman will tell you that, no, no, no, her sister ''really'' had a kid in her class named "Shithead" ''{pronounces this as shih-TED}''. Or, y'know they pronounced it "shih-theed", excuse me. It's like, come on!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' I dunno what you're talking about. ''{pause}'' I actually need to buy a toilet seat, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why don't you go into the pool— Oh!

'''MIKE:''' I've needed one for, like, two weeks.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, we all sound like Marsh— Gel-arshie, now.

'''MIKE:''' And, like, your, um, zombie, at your, the "your funeral" cartoon. Didn't the zombie version of you talk like this?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Oh, it does sound like zombie Strong Bad. ''{pause}'' Aww, Caleb. Man! I remember that one, he grew a ZZ Top beard, and Tucksworth told him not to, but then, guess what he did? He grew the ''{almost unintelligibly}'' ZZ Top beard!

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' So is— I— He did it anyway? How long did it take him? It seems like—

'''STRONG BAD:''' That was the coolest part. He took a tonic, a tincture, and a potent, all at the same time, and it was like vroooooo! They did really good special effects with a pink border.

'''MIKE:''' So, Strong Bad, what happenens right here? Tell me what happens right here. Explain— What do you remember? Just t— tell me what you remember.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' No, no.

'''MIKE:''' Just t— tell me what you remember.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You remember that noise that I— No! Ack-ack-ack-ack-ack! ''{whimpers}'' I don't— Oh...

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Explain to me what— What— It looks maybe like you peed your pants, by the way you're walking?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whimpers}'' Nooo... I can't think about it, Mike. I'm talking like the way I was just walking. I'm talking with my legs spread apart, and kinda limpin'. Oh... There was, like, a brown, and then, but then, one was , like, hard brown.

'''MIKE:''' No soft brown?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No.

'''MIKE:''' All right. ''{pause until Nebulon floats onscreen}'' Oh, look! So, what do you think of Nebulon's style these days?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously, imitating Nebulon's sound}'' Byoo, byoo, byoo, byoo! I think maybe one person likes his style.

**STINK Like A Peasant — ''Blue Dots''
**DRESS Like A Peasant — ''Gold Dots''
**Get ON FIRE Like A Peasant — ''Green Dots''
**Get Your Revenge On Trogdor (maybe) — ''Red Dots''

=== The Beginning ===
Before you do anything, you'll want to talk to the knight. He'll explain the whole quest to you, and give you a few tips on what you're allowed to do. He'll tell you that before you can go up the mountain to challenge Trogdor, you need to STINK like a peasant, DRESS like a peasant, and be ON FIRE like a peasant.

'''General note''': In the true style of the old Sierra games, if you find things too slow, you can bump up the speed by pushing + a few times, and slow it back down by pushing -.

=== STINK Like a Peasant ===
This quest corresponds with the blue dots on the map above.
#It's useful (though not worth any points) to get the map. This is back at your cottage, which can be reached by going W, S, W, W. Walk into your burninated cottage and type "look cottage". You'll discover that there's one piece of unburninated paper. Type "get paper", "get map" or "get unburninated paper" to have Dashing tuck it into his pocket. Dashing uses the paper to record where you've been. You can now access the map at any time simply by typing "map". (While the map can be printed via the "print" icon, the area around the map and down the rest of the page will be entirely black, wasting ink and creating a soggy page if you have an inkjet printer.)
#Go E and walk to the shore. Type "get pebbles" to pick up the small rocks. They'll be useful for step #3.
#Go S and S to get to the well, or just go north twice. Walk up to it and type "turn crank". You'll be told that the crank won't budge. "put pebbles in bucket" in order to make the bucket descend from the weight. "turn crank" to get the bucket back up, which should get you a monster maskus.
#Go S again, walk in front of the counter, and type "talk man" or "talk archer" to learn of the archery teacher's plight, and the secret word, "haldo", you should say to his brother if you ever meet him.
#Go W, W, N to get to the horse. Stand in front of him and "wear mask". You can now go through the fence to the west.
#Here you'll find the archer's brother. Say "haldo" and he'll leave. Walk up to the tree and type "get arrow".
#Go E, N, E, E, E to get to the house surrounded by bushes. Type "open door" to go into the hut and type "talk" to talk to the lady. She'll inform you that the Jhonka has taken her riches, and that she'll give you something special if you get them back for her. Remember that for later. She'll also tell you her baby lost something outside, and if you find it, it's yours. Before you leave, walk over to the shelves and type "get chicken feed". When you get outside, walk up to each of the berry bushes and type "get berries". At the fourth tree (no matter which order you do them in), you should get the super trinket.
#Go back to the archery counter by going W, N, N. Walk up to the archery counter and "talk". Then "give trinket" to be able to play the archery game. Type "play" in order to shoot. This is most likely the trickiest part of the game: you have to aim your bow according to the wind direction indicated by the flag on the right. Try to line up the tip of your arrow with the furthest right or left pixel of the blue circle in strong winds (flag moving due left or right), one pixel inside of the formost part of the blue circle during mild winds (flag diagonal), and directly at the bullseye when the air is still (flag down). To shoot, press space, and then press space again when the indicator reaches the red line. When the second indicator reaches the red line, press space a third time and you should get a bullseye. Get three bullseyes to win the SuperTime FunBow TM. You can now kill Kerrek.
#Go S, S to get to him (if he's not there, walk off and back on the screen a few times) and type "shoot kerrek". It will now start raining because the Kerrek's curse on the land has been lifted. Walk up to his body and type "get belt". Congratulations, you now STINK like a peasant!

=== DRESS Like a Peasant ===
This quest corresponds with the gold dots on the map above.
#To start this quest, you'll need to get the loot back for the peasant woman. To do so, walk N, N, W to the mud puddle (which is now wet since it rained) and walk into the puddle to get covered with mud.
#Go W to get to the haystack, in which you'll need to hide to avoid getting killed by the Jhonka. Type "hide" to jump into the pile of hay.
#Waddle S in your new costume, walk up to the pile of loot, and type "get riches". Your costume will blow away and the Jhonka will be very unhappy and ask you if you took his riches. Simply type "no" and you're in the clear.
#Return to collect your prize by going S, E, E, E to the hut. "open door" gets you inside again, and then "give riches". Here you'll find out that the woman is a complete fraud and is wanted all throughout Pesantry. The riches were probably the Jhonka's to begin with, but the lady runs out leaving you alone with her baby. You can leave her to the knights. Anyway, you can use the baby to get four items.
#Go N and "talk man" to find out about the fishing. He needs a different kind of bait, so go ahead and "throw chicken feed" into the lake. The man will reel in a big catch, and return to work at the inn nearby.
#Go E and "open door" to go into the inn. "give baby" to the innkeeper to get the pills.
#Leave the inn and go W, W to the west side of the lake. Stand at the center near the left (the game is finicky about this, but try standing at the spot where the pebbles used to be) and "throw baby" to get the soda.
#Then go N, N to the well and "put baby in bucket" and "turn crank" to get the meatball sub.
#N, W, W brings you to the mysterious hut without a doorknob, which belongs to Naked Ned by the wavy tree. Walk to the right of the hut and type "move rock". The hole's a little too small for you to fit through, but someone else shouldn't have any problems. Type "deploy baby" to get the door open. The baby then scurries under the fence and you get to read a charming story about his future life. This game gets carried away often, doesn't it? Walk into the now opened hut and go over to the dresser. "open drawer" reveals a peasant robe. Take it with "get robe", put it on with "wear robe", and then just because you're so neat and tidy, close the dresser with "close drawer" to get an extra point. Congratulations, now you DRESS like a peasant!

=== Get ON FIRE Like a Peasant ===
This quest corresponds with the green dots on the map above.
#Go E, E, E, E, N to return to the inn and type "open door" to get inside. "talk man" to learn how to spend the night, which he'll only let you do if you're wearing Naked Ned's robe. Type "get a room". You'll wake up 20 minutes later, at which point you should walk over to the pantry and "look pantry" to learn that the innkeeper seems to like a little something called "Old Man Rub" *ick*. You'll need the pot on the top shelf. Type "get pot", "get grease", or "get horse grease" in order to reach up and grab it. It will fall on your head. With your nouveau headwear, you have to navigate your way out of the inn, which can be a little annoying. The controls don't work correctly because you can't see. To move up, use the right arrow key. To move down, use the left arrow key. Left, use the down key. Right, up key.
#Go S and walk near the lantern. Congratulations, you're now ON FIRE and a true, honest to goodness peasant! Note that if you go the wrong way for too long it will no longer be night. If it turns daylight and you are not on fire you have to go to sleep again, although you do not have to do the thing with the grease again.

=== Get Your Revenge on Trogdor (maybe) ===
This quest corresponds with the red dots on the map above.
#You can now go up to Trogdor's lair. Walk N, N to get to the guard and type "talk man" to get him to move. Walk E to get to the cliff, save your game, go up to the cliff, and type "climb" to get into an incredibly annoying Sierra-esque boulder and bird dodge-fest. The ledges and branches on the cliff do nothing, so don't bother with them. You'll have to go up three screens to get to the top.
#You are now outside Trogdor's lair. After the strange "Loading Disk 2" message, save your game again. Somehow, you cannot climb down. Walk into the cave and start heading E until you're accosted by the first keeper. You'll have to answer three questions about the game in order to make it to Trogdor. Alternatively, you can "give sub", "give soda", and "give pills" to skip the questions (either of these options gives you the same number of points). The questions and correct answers are listed below.
#Go E to meet your doom. The beaded curtain you just walked through will close and mysteriously not open. Don't walk too close to Trogdor. All you have to do is type "use sword" to attack the beast. Now you've gotten his attention and must deal with his majesty. Type "talk trogdor" or "talk" to face the burninator, thus completing the game. Or, if you want to complete the game without 150 points, just keep typing things. Eventually he'll just burninate you, but you'll still win.

GreenHelmet: /* Transcript */ re

== Decompiling ==

Can somebody decompile the flash file to see if there is anything actually hidden in the picture or when Strong Bad takes off his mask? It seems like something TBC might put into the flash as a "super secret easter egg". -[[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 21:56, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

:Way ahead of ya! [[Image:Dodongo.png|150px|nice try, dodongo!]]--[[User:Echeese|Echeese]] 22:00, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
::We's already done. The picture is blank, and here's his face without the chair there: [http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/3518/muhfacehe2.png] (courtesy of The Mu). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:I'm not as computer-smart as you guys are, so can someone explain how you do that?--[[User:Martin925|Martin925]] 04:13, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
::You'd want a program like [http://www.eltima.com/products/flashdecompiler/ Flash Decompiler]. Mind that it isn't free, but there may be free alternatives out there. --[[User:205.251.60.126|205.251.60.126]] 17:32, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
:::Heck, Eltima's IS a free trial, and that's the one I use. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::See, that's what I get for not reading more closely. Mea culpa. --[[User:205.251.60.126|205.251.60.126]] 19:22, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
It seems to me that this would be more appropriate under Trivia than as an Easter Egg, since it's not readily viewable--it has to be decompiled to see it. --[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 22:01, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I have a question. What does this have to do with SB's parents? [[User:RocketMasterZ|RocketMasterZ]] 12:23, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

:TBC are lightheartedly teasing those of us who immediately ran to a Flash decompiler as soon as we saw the toon so that we could post a picture of Strong Bad's parents on the internet. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 16:11, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Easter eggs are things you can click on during the email. This isn't one. There's even another decompiler related thing down in trivia, so why isn't this there? [[User:EASports|EASports]] 14:54, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

:From [http://www.dictionary.com dictionary.com]: "Easter Egg: 2. A hidden feature in computer software, a DVD, or a video game." An Easter egg doesn't necessarily involve clicking. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 14:58, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
::I was referring to the usage of the term here. This is, as far as I know, the only thing listed as an Easter egg on any page of this wiki that requires the use of a separate program to find it. [[User:EASports|EASports]] 14:57, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
:::I can see EA's point, there are other various instances of similar "hidden information" that we have considered nothing more than "Flash Artifacts." But with that said, this is pretty much the same as [[Senorial Day]] and the 2 Homestars, only difference being that instead of using an external viewer for the flash file, someone is using a decompiler. It's a close call as to how to handle it, but I think by definition, and by precedence, it's an Easter egg. - {{User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C/Sig}} 15:44, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
::::This is a pretty broad definition, but I think an Easter Egg is anything in the toon that is a least partially obscured (purposefully) by TBC with the intention of someone finding it. This one awas just hidden better. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 16:46, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
:::::Another one kinda like this one is Marzi's rocker hair in [[different town]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Danube Largo? ==

I was going to say this is a reference to the Danube river, but then I realized it's probably also a parody of a real person's name. So I'm waiting to see if anyone else has dirt on this. [[User:Octan|Octan]] 22:03, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
:Not of any furniture designer that I'm aware of. I don't think it's a reference to the river so much as to the trend towards nature-related names, such as River, Skye, or Willow.--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 01:59, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
::Wasn't Largo the villain in Thunderbird? (007 movie, for those of you wondering) Could that be a possible reference? {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 02:03, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
:::Thunderb''all'' is the Bond flick. Thunderb''ird'' is a car. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 11:16, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

:::''Largo'' is Italian for "slow". But that has little relevance to its usage here. I think it's likely just something they put together to sound foreign. I don't see a reason to think into it any deeper than that. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:49, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
::::Actually, [[Wikipedia:Largo|Largo]] is a common word. It STILL may be a reference. Just suggesting it. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 03:44, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
An die Schöne Blaue Donau is a world-famous waltz, known in English as "The Blue Danube Waltz," or "The Blue Danube," or "The Danube Waltz." Waltz can be a musical designation, as can Largo. So, "Danube Largo" is a riff on "Danube Waltz," although I doubt that TBC put as much thought into it as I just did. Did either of the Chap brothers study music at some point? -- Unregistered User, M Valdemar.
:::::Actually, there are a few waltzes with "Danube" in the name. And "Largo" is pretty generic. I don't think this needs to necessarily refer to music in any way. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:09, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Still seems more like TTATOT than references to me, though.--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 22:07, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

would the name have anything to do with it being daNOOB largo?

:This was STUFFed and voted on: [[HRWiki:STUFF/Archive/the chair#Teh n00b Largo?]] {{User:Trey56/sig}} 02:40, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

== Leather ==

I'm thinking that the leather is not "Chairybdian" but is in fact "Corinthian" parodying Ricardo Montalbon and his rather (unintentionally) silly ads for Chrysler in the 80's. But maybe I'm just hearing things.
: I hear Corinthian.--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 01:51, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

== 3 years pre-owned ==

This could just be me and my tendency to mishear things, but does it sound to anyone else like Bubs is saying it's a PRE-OWNED box of chicken beaks, rather than a 3-year-old box of chicken beaks? --[[User:Kiwi|Kiwi]] 17:54, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
:I hear it as 'pre-owned'. [[User:Cara Carabowditbowdit|Cara Carabowditbowdit]] 23:11, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
::I also hear pre-owned. {{User:Salty/sig}} 01:16, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
:::I hear pre-owned, too.--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 01:53, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
::::I put this bit on my user page before it was transcribed, and "pre-owned" is what I heard. Still do. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:51, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
:::::I wrote the transcript here and heard "3 year old" the first time, but after listening a few more times I realized Bubs did in fact say "pre-owned". I kept trying to change the transcript to match but I kept getting Edit Conflict! ARGH!! Anyways, yes; he does indeed say pre-owned. — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 14:33, 5 December 2006

== Buzzer sound ==

It's the same buzzer sound as the old "deleted" buzzer. "Remarks"? "Inside references"? Is it even wiki-worthy? [[User:Tbone762|Tbone762]] 23:38, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
:Nope. It's just a [[Sound Effects|sound effect]]. You should list it there, though, if it's not already. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:06, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
::I compared the two, and from what I can tell, it's definitely the DELETED buzzer. {{User:Exhibit A/sig}} 03:41, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
:::Well, it's unlikely that TBC would have two sound effects for one purpose. If this gets listed, so should [[retirement]], [[mascot]], and [[Homestarrunner.com Pay Plus]]. --[[User:Jnelson09|Jnelson09]] 00:56, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

== melon-chair ==

Is the stool supposed to be the same face as the cantelope he stole from Marzipan?
:You mean [[Doreauxgard]]? I don't really think so. The chair doesn't bear much of a resmblance to him. {{User:Spyrox6/sig}}
:i thought the same thing. it's VERY similar...if not almost exactly the same
::I compared the picture in the article to the face on the chair, and they're almost identical, except for the forehead wrinkles.--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 22:17, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
:::There's some resemblance to the [[Sticky Notes|sticky note]] Strong Bad stuck up on his monitor in [[vacation]] - the one that calls you a dork. :) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 19:37, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
::::Perchance this is because of how SB draws faces on inanimate talking objects? Sheesh. --[[User:Ookelaylay|אוקאלייליי (Ookelaylay)]]
:::::Except that SB didn't draw the face on the chair.--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 04:50, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

== This is the one where Scratchy finally gets Itchy! ==

The way Strong Bad says he will never take off his mask again reminds me of a [http://www.snpp.com/episodes/1F02.html Simpsons episode] where Scratchy ''finally'' gets the better of Itchy instead of vice versa in one of their episodes. The TV gets unplugged as Bart and Lisa are watching, and they end up missing it. When the TV gets plugged back in, Krusty says, "Wow! They'll never let us show that again, not in a million years!" — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:12, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
: It does seem similar in a kinda this-is-not-a-referencey sort of way. :p --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:26, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
::I saw that one as well, and I don't think there's a notable similarity at all. The "now that you can't see it, I'll finally reveal all the secrets" gag is an old one.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:39, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
:::Quite. Which is why I posted it here and not in the fun facts. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:49, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
::::The first thing that came to my mind in this was Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget - part of the gag with him is that all you ever see is his big metal hand, but never any other part of him. (Though this is refuted somewhat by the fact that the official Gadget intro shows Gadget flipping the chair around, and it's just a spring-loaded hand and a bomb on the chair.) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 19:45, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
:::::That's not a refutation, it was just an episode where Gadget thought he had finally caught Dr. Claw, but alas, he wasn't there. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 20:06, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
::::::In the Fat Albert movie, the one who wears the hat over his face first takes it off revealing nothing but his eyes and mouth. Similar. {{User:Neox/sig}}
i don't see much of a difference

== Chickenella ==

Just wondering since I suspect it'd be removed or STUFFed: How notable is it that Strong Bad probably meant Salmonella, which is commonly associated with chicken, rather than the mammal-specific Anthrax? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:13, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
*meh, i did notice that also, but it is much too much ttatot. also i love the ethical tag. its funny. {{User:Csours/sig}} 01:29, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
**I think this would be notable if Strong Bad had said something like "I don't wanna get chickenella from that mish-mash" or something like that. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 19:47, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

== Ecochair != Tempurpedic ==

So someone put up a reference saying the ecochair was a reference to tempurpedic mattresses. I don't get how this could possibly be. That chair is NOTHING like a mattress. I figured it was a fairly vague reference to IKEA furniture, personally.

Yeah, that person's crazy. If my changes weren't universally overridden, I'd change it myself... but i want this to be changed, so i won't change it --[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 00:35, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

:And that would be me! Forgive, for I should've ran this through the discussion thing before I went ahead and made such a bold statement! I figured the Ecochair made a bit of a reference to Tempur-pedic and other such styles of furniture, with their questionable designs made from questionable materials! After re-rewatching the email, it would appear that the ecochair does not, in fact, use crazy memory foam to shape itself to the user! Such a reference is quite a bad decision. --[[User:The only known copy of the failed pilot episode of the Limozeen Saturday morning cartoon show|Crazy Person]]

I'd actually say that chair is more like those crazy chairs designed to fix bad posture. --[[User:Xifihas|Xifihas]]

== Anthraxy ==

Anyone else think that Winger is less anthraxy, not because of the disease anthrax, but because Winger is not like the band Anthrax, thus they are less Anthraxy? --[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 01:01, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah, it seemed like a bit of word-play to me.--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 01:44, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
::That seems extremely likely to me. Winger and Anthrax both thrived in the late '80s, which is a particularly common era for TBC to reference. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:54, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
:::Incidentally, wasn't Winger referenced in [[death metal]]? -{{User:YK/sig}} 04:20, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
I don't particularly care whether we list the links to Anthrax (both kinds) and Winger in Explanations or Real-World References, but we ''don't'' need to spell out the above joke. The links are enough. Let the viewer put together the humor. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:30, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
:Well, at least someone spelled it out here, coz I'd never get it otherwise. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::It seems like some kind of reference--spelling it out or not--would be good. I'm not up to date on that kind of music anymore, but it seems likely that there will be a good number of people who won't have heard of Anthrax, 20 years after their heyday (ouch!).--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 22:11, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
::Ok, i be'd bold and put it under explanation. i'm sure someone will pull it by tomorrow anyway, but that may just be my HRCynicism speaking. It seems like the kind of thing that should be mentioned - the specific reference to Anthrax the band, differentiating it from the earlier reference to anthrax, the disease. And two people said here that it should be listed, that and i came up with it originally, so there, its posted and thats why. --[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 05:51, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
:::This is one of those jokes that while I don't normally like spelling out, we do need to somewhere (maybe in real world references) help those who may not have been exposed to either band put it together. Which after another rereading I think will work as is . . . - [[User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C|Ilko Skevüld's Teh C]] 19:02, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
::::As I have already said above, there have been and continue to be links to the Wikipedia articles about Anthrax and Winger already listed in the real-world references. They're even listed right next to each other. All someone has to do is click the links. It would be a bad thing, however, to start making a habit of saying "this is the joke and here's why it's funny." — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:32, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
:::::I agree. Not only would that be unencyclopediac, but we would end up going crazy with ''rules'' to ''govern'' that sort of thing. Which jokes do we list? Which ones are too obvious to do so? Our talk pages would be pages full of forum-style posts. No, our fun facts section is far better off without an "Oh, by the way, this is a joke." section. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 19:44, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

==Truely==
Is Strong Bad's pronouciation of of the misspelled truely, a reference to his pronounciation of truuly in [[modeling]]? How similar are the two?[[User:68.239.209.107|68.239.209.107]] 03:56, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

:I don't think so: Strong Bad's pronunciation of "truuly" put much more emphasis on the extra letter than did his pronunciation of "truely". They're only similar because they're both responses to mispellings of the same word. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 16:20, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

==Hey, it's Tiptup!==
Bubs says both 'Tip' and 'tup', which are parts of the name 'Tiptup', who is a turtle racer in the game Diddy Kong Racing. At least, I think so.--[[User:147.133.207.186|147.133.207.186]] 05:30, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
:"Tip top" is a colloquialism that means "the very top"... and it's a mix-up of "Start at the bottom, and work our way to the top." That "top" is pronounced as "tup" is probably just Bubs being strange. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 05:34, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
::Tiptup the Turtle was the first thing I thought of too, but I think it's just Bubs being random. He does seem to be acting kind of strange in this email :) {{User:Saturn/sig}} 07:08, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
::: I tink it might be worth mentioning. Tiptup also appeared in both Banjo-Kazooie games, and the brothers Chaps are Nintendo fans. Tiptup the turtle was what I first thought of, but I have been replaying those games recently though.-anon
I agree it could be Tiptup, because the way Bubs says it. Earlier in the email, there was the 'Duh to the ear' thing. It could be Bubs' strange way of saying 'Tip to the Tup'. Though, personally, the first thing I thought of was "from the tip the ''top'', only Bubs just being weird for saying tup. - Sb100

==SB's Parents==
Just wanted to say that I sent an email to SB last week asking how his parents looked like, kind of surprised to see at least part of it being used. Guess my pronounciation was too good to become an actual e-mail ;) Eitherway, you can never be sure that it actually originated from my e-mail. I'm pretty sure loads of people have sent in the same question. It's just that I find it kind of funny to actually get some kind of an answer :)

Yeah, I think that question had probably been asked quite a bit. The one time I sent SB an email (which was a couple years ago) part of it inquired about his parents. The rest suggested his he and his brothers might all be adopted, since they bear no resemblance to each other.

:Pronunciation? Was it audio email? Has Strong Bad done audio email before? - anonymous

::Uhhh... yeah... hence the sound every week. --[[User:Ookelaylay|אוקאלייליי (Ookelaylay)]]

:::I've never heard audio from people mailing in. Where do you find it? It would seem like making fun of users' pronunciation should be more highly publicized, like in mail sbemail. - anonymous

On another note: the photo of SB's parents is ONLY viewable if you have specialized software. So why in the world are we calling it an Easter egg? In my mind, Easter eggs are user-interactable things which yield special content. While "nice try" is simewhat special, the fact that it is not accessible to the viewer deems it, in my book, not an Easter egg but a Trivia item. As there seems to be some degree of dupport for it being an egg, I won't alter the article without discussion. How can something which can only be seen by using a flash decompiler be set as eqivalent to the Easter eggs we commonly see in the toons? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 05:52, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

== Treatment of Chickens ==

I noticed [It's dot com] deleted a comment I added to the Fun Facts section of "the chair". Please look [[wikipedia:Chicken|it]] up. This is a direct quote:
"Domestic chickens are typically fed commercially prepared feed that includes a protein source as well as grains. Chickens often scratch at the soil to get at adult insects and larvae or seed. Incidents of cannibalism can occur when a curious bird pecks at a preexisting wound or during fighting (even among female birds). This is exacerbated in close quarters. In commercial egg and meat production this is controlled by trimming the beak (removal of ⅔ of the top half and occasionally ⅓ of the lower half of the beak)."
This most likely explains the "ethical" label on Bubs box of Chick'n beaks
:I think that is a major stretch. If you want, you can create an account and STUFF it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:00, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
:: For what it's worth, we're talking about cruelty to animals in Ethics class this week, and the chicken beak cutting off is the first thing I thought of when I saw that box. [[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]
:::I just assumed it was humorous--Bubs selling something "Ethical" brand--him being so ethical and all! --[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 22:21, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
: I see what you're saying, and I'd hate it if i had a point that good and it was disagreed with, but i hafta disagree. Its not strong enough to be listed on the main page. Its a big stretch to call removing most of a chicken's beak for any reason ethical. --[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 05:54, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

: I don't mind if people disagree, I just wish there was something to argue about. "Ethical" is an ironic label for a case of chicken beaks, because it seems to me (maybe I'm wrong here) unethical to remove chicken beaks just because you make more money selling them if you raise them packed closely together. The other possibility is that my source is completely off base. Wikipedia is not exactly the best source of information. If so, then it would be a stretch to make a claim here based on a wikipedia article. I suppose it would be better to reference more [[http://www.upc-online.org/merchandise/debeak_factsheet.html]] than [[http://ars.sdstate.edu/animaliss/poultry.html]] one [[http://www.cnr.uidaho.edu/range556/Appl_BEHAVE/projects/Chicken_Cannibalism.html]] source.[[http://www.mullerslanefarm.com/cannibalism.html]]

== Stooley ==

Should Stooley get a character page and a cast nod? He does have a name and lines, which I think warrents him as being up there with Frank Bennedito or any of the other inanimate objects in the Homestar world... [[User:Cyndentia|Cyndentia]]

:If Stooley appears again then it seems likely that he will get a character page. Otherwise, No. [[User:Xifihas|Xifihas]]

== Strong Bad's Face ==

Um, did anyone try checking if there's an easter egg in the Flash file itself when Strong Bad takes off his mask/face? You know, like the "Nice Try Dodongo" joke? It probably should be mentoined in the article what exactly is going there, animation-wise.--[[User:68.121.102.254|68.121.102.254]] 19:41, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
:No... There's no Easter eggs... He's not up for it. [http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/3518/muhfacehe2.png See here]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
I just reworded a lengthy item about how the face should be backwards or upside-down or something when Strong Bad pulls it off. I disagree. He could have twisted his hand around, pulled straight up, and then untwisted his hand to hold up the mask for us to see. Furthermore, if TBC had animated it in any other way, it wouldn't have been as effective in showing off the mask. By that I mean that without a decompiler you can barely see the mask, and so they had to include the details exactly as they did in order for it to be recognizable. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:37, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

== What? ==
*In real world references:
<blockquote>This could also possibly be a reference to the character Largo in the Megatokyo webcomic. In this webcomic, Largo "is an impulsive alcoholic who speaks L33t fluently and frequently." Thus, the mention of "Danoob" might be to what is known commonly online as a newbie.</blockquote>
This doesn't make any sense, even if it were a connection to something. It sure needs to be cleaned up if it is something more than a coincidence.

I think it makes enough sense. Largo refers to the character from Megatokyo, and Danoob refers to the expression "the noob" which a l33t speaker would pronounce "da noob"... i dunno, use that if u like. --[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 05:53, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

:I dunno. There're two completely different "explanations", and if you ask me, both of them seem like a stretch. A combination of a river and a webcomic character...? Uh... That just doesn't sound right to me. Considering that, it seems like it's a pretty broad "reference", if it even *is* one (yeah, TBC can be weird and random without referencing anything; it was probably meant to sound like a generic Swedish name), to the point of, dare I say it, TTATOT. Maybe a DVD commentary will explain it, but for now, I say we just don't bother trying to attach this to anything in the real world. STUFF one or both, I guess. -{{User:YK/sig}} 08:37, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

::Addendum:

* The reference to the "Danoob Largo" chair is '''probably''' a reference to the Danube River, which runs through Europe, where there are many people apt to buy such a manner of furniture. And in this case Danoob Largo would mean something like "Long Danube."
* This could also '''possibly''' be a reference to the character Largo in the Megatokyo webcomic. In this webcomic, Largo "is an impulsive alcoholic who speaks L33t fluently and frequently." Thus, the mention of "Danoob" '''might''' be to what is known commonly online as a newbie.

"Probably", "Possibly", "Might". Aren't these words rather frowned upon in real-world references, especially? -{{User:YK/sig}} 08:41, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

==Horror movie references?==
Did anyone else think that the living Homestar "chair" was a reference to "House of Wax"?

Also, this may be a stretch, but the "I can't feel my parts" lines seemed awfully close to a line from the 1985 movie "Silver Bullet"--in that movie, a character is watching wrestling. One wrestler hits (or kicks, I can't quite remember) another in the groin, and the guy watching it says, "Ow, that hurt my parts!" It might well be a coincidence, but I thought the lines were awfully similar.

I too saw the "House of Wax" reference. The kid sitting at the piano is what Homestar reminded me of here. I was surprised to see that it wasn't in the references section...how many people see the link?

==It Came From Beneath The Soolnd==

I believe this is the first time that we see the bottom of Gron Sad's "feet". Is this noteworthy? -[[User:GG Crono|GG Crono]] 06:30, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
:No, we've seen the bottoms in [[caffeine]] and [[Experimental Film]] too. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:What is noteworthy is that they have circles, since the article on soolnds still says that they only have circles when Strong Sad has some sort of control over a cartoon. Or if he's hyperactive. I'd change it now, but I'm too tired. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 07:18, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

== Projector screen ==

The projector screen that shows Strong Bad's paper route is obviously the same one from Fan Costumes '06. I added this to Inside Referances and it was deleted for no reason. Anybody know why?[[User:Rexisfed|Rexisfed]] 02:44, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

== Sweat Pants ==

The image of Strong Bad with all the sweat pants sure reminds me of this popular online video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6tlw-oPDBM 155 T-Shirts]. Probably not worth a reference. Also the "stink stank stonk" seems like another reference to The Grinch (1960's cartoon), along with "slink" from the lappy-napped e-mail. [[User:Cyndentia|Cyndentia]]

== Dodongo ==

I've got this creeping feeling that TBC have used the line "nice try, Dodongo" before. I did a search but nothing came up. Am I just suffering from crazy deja vu, or am I on to something? [[User:72.187.97.84|72.187.97.84]] 23:04, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
:I don't think they've used this particular word or phrase before, but they have had similar things in the past. The first one that comes to my mind is "Jhonka", from [[Peasant's Quest]]. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 19:53, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
::Not used before. Here's proof: [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Special:Search?search=dodongo A wiki main namespace search for "dodongo"]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

I really don't feel it's worth opening up to yimmer-yammer, but I wanted just to say that Dodongo has been since I think the late 60's the knickname of Kenny Rogers. It's included in the link that is included in [[the chair]] for dodongo ([[Wikipedia:Enemies in The Legend of Zelda series#Dodongo]]), and I'm sure could be confirmed elsewhere since I remember it well from my childhood, and remember being shocked when I saw the name used in Zelda. But as I said, for all practical purposes I agree with the fact the way it is and don't really want to open up a can of worms too far. Thanks for your time. - [[User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C|Ilko Skevüld's Teh C]] 00:13, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah, I found it using a Google search, and it made me wonder why it wasn't already on Kenny's Wikipedia page (but not so much that I felt I should add it or anything). Still, knowing TBC's reputation, I'd bet good money it's the video game reference only. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:21, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Dodongo is a fictional character in the Legend of Zelda as well. I don't know why they would use that particular reference, though.

== Guaranteed to break the ice at parties ==

There's a Monty Python sketch where a man selling "jokes" repeatedly says "...guaranteed to break the ice at parties". This was the first thing that I thought of the moment Bubs said "Always a hit at parties". Possible linkage? [[User:Jimmy91|Jimmy91]] 15:31, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

:All reference citations start out as "first thing that I thought of the moment" but it's only after a bit of analysis that you can determine its worth. In this case, it's clearly a coincidence. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 05:01, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

==How the Grinch Invaded the Email==

The outtake says "Last time it was stink" and "Stonk can't be far away". This is a reference to the song "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch", from "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." One of the lyrics goes "The three words that best describe you, goes as follows, and I quote--Stink, Stank, Stunk" (or "Stonk" as Strong Bad pronounced it).

== Styleron = Aeron ==
Aeron is a brand of super-expensive office chair that all the dot-com companies bought for their employees to prove they were successful. (http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=aeron) Styleron sounds like Aileron, the control surface that banks an airplane. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aileron) ''(Anonymous contributor)''

:I disagree with both. Aeron looks nothing like Le Restige, and is supposedly a reference to a diferent chair (also looks nothing like it.) and Aileron...isn't related to anything except for the fact that it sounds similar to the Styleron. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 05:16, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Ummm...yeah...my ''name'' is Aeron, and its also the name of a town in Ireland, a river running through the town in Ireland, a Celtic war hero, and a chemistry company, does that mean that TBC were referencing any of these? I-a don't-a think so.--[[User:Homsar Lover|Homsar Lover]]

== Parts Comment ==

Is this the first time that characters' genetalia has been mentioned or pointed towards? I don't think I've heard any of the characters mention the subject before...

<div>subject: bike thieves</div>
Hey Strong Bad,

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' ''{disappointed tone}'' Oh, not smart enough for MIT, huh? Just MI? ''{clears screen}'' ''{regular voice}''Well first off, how do you know your crappy bike is even worth stealing? How many pegs you got? Mag wheels? White tires? Worthless baseball card in the spokes? If not, then you got nothing to worry about. What self-respecting bicycle thief would steal a (shudder) ten-speed? Or a (shudder, shudder) mounTAIN bike? The only thing those bikes gets you is tired. Any bike with a water bottle holder is a complete waste of bike. ''{clears screen}'' But, let's pretend you do have a cool bike. I would first go to my old thieving standby: dress up like a bush. ''{pronounces it "boosh"}''

''{Cut to the field. Strong Bad is hiding behind a short berry bush with cartoon eyes, his feet clearly visible. He shuffles over to a pink bicycle, carrying the bush with him. He picks up the bike through the bush, and starts carrying it away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And don't forget: dressing up as a bush is also a great way to get free pizza!

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. Strong Bad walks up to the counter behind his bush costume.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Can I have some free pizza?

'''BUBS:''' Sure thing, bush!

''{Bubs pulls a pizza box from behind the counter and drops it on top of the bush. Strong Bad walks off-screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Variations on this approach—

''{Cut to the field, with just Strong Bad standing in the middle of screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —include dressing up as a cactus,—

''{The bush is replaced by a cactus, with Strong Bad badly concealed behind it, and cartoony eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —a trashcan,—

''{The cactus is replaced by a trashcan, again with cartoony eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —or a barrel.

''{The trashcan is replaced by a wooden barrel, yet again with cartoony eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Though, depending on your physique—

''{The Cheat appears next to Strong Bad's barrel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —you could also dress up like... a hideous pile—

''{The Cheat turns into a pile of unidentified pink goo, with tufts of hair, a crushed can, a plank of wood, a circular saw blade, and two misaligned cartoony eyes. Strong Bad inches away from the mess. Strong Mad appears on the other side of the barrel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —or a... textile factory?

''{Strong Mad turns into a factory building, signed "BRRLAP", with cartoony eyes near the roof. Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So if I were you, I'd steer clear of pretty much anything with cartoon eyeholes. If that method didn't work for me, I'd go for the awkward swindle. This is especially effective on college campuses.

''{Cut to The Stick. A silhouette of a CGNU building is visible in the background. Homestar, wearing a backpack and backwards cap, is chaining up his white bike to The Stick, the chain is simply looped over the top branch. Strong Bad, sporting a ponytail, walks in, carrying a clipboard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, brother. Hey, my bromide. You look like a cool guy who likes to progress. I was wondering if you'd be interested in signing this petition to ban roll-on...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, um, yeah, sorry, uh, I've got a class...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...free vegan food...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...and my roommate's like... you know...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...fellowship...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...so, my parents, um...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...drum circle?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Computer lab! ''{darts off-screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Man. so effective! I've stolen people's lunches this way... their girlfriends... puppies even!

''{Strong Bad throws away his clipboard and walks over to Homestar's bike, and starts kicking the tires. Marzipan walks in, with multicolored dreadlocks, and her own clipboard.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey, my bromide, wanna sign this...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meal plan! ''{darts offscreen}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Cool, man, free bike.

''{Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But my all-time favorite thiefnique has got to be, the best use of black turtlenecks and suction cups ever devised: cat-burgling!

''{Cut to a featureless orange wall. Strong Bad climbs up the wall with suction cups, wearing a black turtleneck and beanie.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Almost... to the top!

''{Cut to Strong Bad's basement... Strong Bad climbs up from behind the orange couch. The bicycle seat [[Red, White, and Banana]] is on the couch, and two laser guns duct taped to the couch on either side of it. Strong Bad pulls out a spray can of "C'mon! It's Fog!" and sprays it into the air, revealing the two laser beams.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, Ponch. Laser tech security! I'll have to employ some Chinese acrobatics!

''{Strong Bad tries to jump up, but is stuck to the couch.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, these suction cups are stuck to the side of this couchscraper. Ah, somebody? The Cheat? Come put that bicycle seat in my mouth! Gently!

''{The lights turn on.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, Jon! Light tech security!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{walking in}'' Well, if you had agreed to play Cats the musical, instead of cat-burglar, maybe you wouldn't be stuck to the back of the couch again.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I would rather die.

''{Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' That's how I'd do it, College Bike Owner. So keep away from shrubbery, don't talk to anyone with a clipboard, and avoid putting your bike on the roof of glass skyscrapers.

''{During the next part, Strong Bad types "Your bike should be totally safe if you listen to me. I am a good person that gives sound advice. Bike on, my friend, bike on!" while he says his other lines.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Secret message to bike thieves!

''{The words "SECRET MESSAGE!" flash on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bolt cutters, guys! Just use bolt cutters!

''{The words "BOLT CUTTERS!" flash on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We'll split the pawn-shop money fitty-fitty!

''{The words "FITTY FITTY!" flash on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' See you next time!

''{[[New Paper]] comes down, printing a picture of [[The Paper]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nice try, New Papes. Though that does make me feel a little better... he was so stripedy...

==Easter Eggs==
*After Strong Bad says MI, click on it to see a pennant for Mediocre Institute.
*Click on "baseball card" to see a [[Trading Cards#From bike thief|trading card]].
*At the end, click on "safe" for this:
:''{The Lappy slowly moves to the right}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, what the?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dressed up as a trash can, speaking in a monotone voice}'' Garbage. Garbage. Rubbish. Umm... murder weapon.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Are you supposed to be a trash can or a robot?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ummm... ''{pulls out petition reading "The Bromide Solution"}'' you wanna sign this petition, my bromide?

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*"Mag wheels", (not to be confused with [[Wikipedia:Magnesium alloy wheels|Magnesium alloy wheels]]) are wheels on a bike that are made with larger and thicker spokes than on a typical bike. Typical mags had 5 to 6 large "spokes". The bike pictured in this episode is a bike with wheel covers. These plastic covers actually fit on the outside of a traditional spoked wheel, much like a hubcap on a car.
*"Pegs" are metal tubes affixed to a bicycle's front or rear axle, allowing the rider to balance their weight on an area other than the pedals and freeing the body of the bike for a wider range of tricks.
*A bromide is an ion of a bromine atom with a charge of -1. Such bromides as potassium bromide were once used as sedatives, leading to the once prevalent use of the word "bromide" to indicate someone or something is platitudinous and boring.
**Bromide is water soluble, so a bromide solution would be bromide in water.
*Attaching a baseball card to the spokes would simulate the sound of a motorcycle as the wheel rotates.
*"[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=earf Earf]" is a dialectic spelling of "Earth."

===Trivia===
*Strong Bad's petition reads:
<blockquote>-PETITION- 
i do hearby sign that 
i am in full support 
of fully supporting 
all the good causes 
and casual effects of 
said causes and, as it 
were, caucuses. now, 
previously, and also 
futurely held... 
X________________</blockquote>
*Marzipan's petition reads:
<blockquote>Counter-Petition 
I, the willing signer of this 
document, betta recognize 
that Earf in trouble. Earf 
injured. Injured bad. 
 
X______________</blockquote>

*Homestar's bike is a Huffy SIGMA circa 1987.
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad teaches a college kid how to avoid getting their bike stolen."

=== Remarks ===
*In [[hygiene]], two emails prior, Strong Bad complained about a lack of college girls sending him email. The sender of this email, Virginia, appears to be a female college student.
*"Thiefnique" is a [[portmanteau]] of "thief" and "technique."
*"Couchscraper" is a [[portmanteau]] of "couch" and "skyscraper."
*"Brrlap" on Strong Mad's textile-mill disguise refers to [[Wikipedia:burlap|burlap]], a durable but coarse cloth made of vegetable fiber.
*Strong Bad can spray the can of fog, although his hands are stuck to the couch later.
*Homestar's trash disguise has his own eyes, whereas Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat wore disguises with a unified, cartoony eye pattern, quite distinct from their own.
*Homestar boasted in [[cliffhangers]] that he had the history and the motive to steal the Lappy.
*While Homestar is stealing the Lappy, clicking its screen will not create any ripples.
*Strong Bad's bush disguise bears a similarity to a berry-laden bush appearing in the [[Peasant's Quest]] video game.
*This is the first toon to show the exterior of a [[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU]] building (assuming that the tower in the background is in fact a building).
*Strong Bad claims that no self-respecting bicycle thief would steal a "mounTAIN bike." Then, dressed as the bush, he proceeds to steal Pom Pom's mountain bike.
*Assuming the couch is a standard one with fabric upholstery, Strong Bad ''couldn't'' have either climbed up or gotten stuck to the couch with suction cups.
*At the end of the [[Podstar Runner]] version of the email, the Easter egg of the Lappy slowly moving to the right starts automatically; however, it does not show Homestar Runner stealing it.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Backwards Pizza.PNG|thumb|azziP dlO 'sbuB "sdrawkcab yllaer a-s'tI"]]
*After Strong Bad receives the pizza and turns around, the logo on the pizza box gets reversed.
*When College Strong Bad throws the clipboard into the air, and then a second time he throws it off the screen, the entire text occasionally gets reversed.
*The printed The Paper is straight and does not follow the curvature of the New Paper.
*The word "safe" can be clicked even while the monitor continues to move in the Easter egg at the end, which restarts that segment from the beginning.
*When Homestar steals the Lappy, the power cord doesn't stretch or move. Instead it stays as it is.
*In the podstar version, the audio only plays on the left speaker until after the switch back to Strong Bad's lappy after Marzipan's line.
*In the easter egg, during the cut to the wide shot, the New Paper disappears.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Strong Bad misspelled "enough" as "enogh" in the beginning of his response. This was fixed a few hours after it was released.

===Inside References===
*The pizza Bubs gives Strong Bad is [[Bubs' Old Pizza]] from [[privileges]].
*Pom Pom's costume is from [[technology]].
*The cat-burglar scene shows another instance of [[duct tape]].
*Strong Bad's cat-burgling outfit was seen before in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] (minus the suction cups).
*The music playing as Strong Bad first appears in his bush disguise made its debut as [[Sterrance]]'s theme in [[animal]].
*The bicycle seat [[Red, White, and Banana]] first appeared in [[the chair]].
*When Strong Bad attempts to steal the bike seat off of [[the couch]], he is foiled by two [[Wikipedia:Lazer Tag|Lazer Tag]] guns. [[The Poopsmith]] previously carried one of these guns when he [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats Costumes#The Poopsmith|dressed up in Lazer Tag gear]] in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].
*Strong Bad's line, "I would rather [[Death|die]]," when asked to do something with someone, was first heard in [[Biz Cas Fri 1]].
*The can in The Cheat's hideous pile is the same as the can Homestar kicks in the Easter egg in "[[original]]".
* Strong Bad's intro song is to the same tune as [[Strong Sad]]'s lyrical [[rampage]].

===Real-World References===
*Strong Bad makes reference to the [[Wikipedia:Massachusetts Institute of Technology|Massachusetts Institute of Technology]].
*The [[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU]] building bears a strong resemblance to [[Wikipedia:Tech Tower|Tech Tower]], the main administrative building on the [[Wikipedia:Georgia Institute of Technology|Georgia Tech]] campus in downtown Atlanta, not far from where [[The Brothers Chaps]] live.

here. What do you do to keep cool?

</blockquote>

''{After "Strongbadia", a record scratches, the screen dims and another Strong Bad appears.}''

'''SECOND STRONG BAD:''' Note to viewers:

''{Screen cuts to Strong Badia. A cutout in the shape of Strong Bad labeled "sb" is shown.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''This'' is Strong Badia.

''{Screen cuts to Bubs' Concession Stand, with a similar cutout for Bubs labeled "bubs".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Not this...

''{Screen cuts to Strong Bad's basement, with a cutout of Strong Mad labeled "graw mad".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...this...

''{Screen cuts to The Stick, with a cutout of Homestar labeled "ds".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...or this.

''{Cut back to Strong Badia.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Just this.

''{Cut back to the still-dimmed Lappy.}''

'''SECOND STRONG BAD:''' We clear? Now gimme five.

''{The second Strong Bad holds up his left hand, and then disappears as the rest of the screen returns to normal and the original Strong Bad finishes reading the email. He reads "CA" as "Cactus Area."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm not exactly sure how hot it is round here, Tomby. But we do have an old-timey, made-uppy, no-worky way of finding out.

''{Cut to Strong Sad, sleeping on a brick wall. A book labeled "Mr. Chekhov" is next to him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' We carefully place a spoonful...

''{Strong Bad and Strong Mad rise from behind Strong Sad, and Strong Bad places a spoon of sauce on Strong Sad's head.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...of hoisin sauce on Strong Sad's disturbing soft-serve flip. ''{pause}'' And then we just... ask him.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey!

''{Strong Bad hits Strong Sad, who wakes up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Trundle bed, how hot it is right now?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Current temperature: ninety-seven, ninety-eight degrees... humidity: twenty-five percent... ''{Strong Bad and Strong Mad slowly start to leave, making a tapping noise as they do.}'' barometric pressure's thirty point oh five inches mercury... I'm gonna eat this spoonful of hoisin sauce...

''{Strong Sad grabs the spoon from off his head and opens his mouth to eat the sauce. But before he does, we cut to the edge of the wall, where Strong Bad and Strong Mad are standing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You hear that?! The high nineties!

''{Strong Bad pulls out a paper titled "[[#Trivia|Monkey D's Summer Tips]]". The screen cuts to a closeup of the paper.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know what that means!

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Strong Mad. Music starts. Strong Bad jumps up in the air, whilst Strong Mad raises his hands up.}''

'''STRONG BAD AND STRONG MAD:''' COOL TIME, POOL TIME!!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' In the pool that we've always had... ''{Strong Mad looks surprised}'' that we use all the time... and the school has always had an elevator!

''{Cut to Marzipan's couch. Marzipan is sitting on it. Homestar Runner pops up in the foreground.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Cool time!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Pool time!

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand, where Coach Z is leaning on the counter.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Cool time?

'''BUBS:''' Pool time!

''{Cut to the Field, where Pom Pom and The Poopsmith are standing.}''

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

''{The Poopsmith gives him the thumbs-up.}''

''{Cut to the Pool. Strong Bad is sitting in the lifeguard's chair. Coach Z walks past in the background with a barrel over him. Bubs floats with inflatable water wings on his arms. The Cheat skims across the surface of the water quickly twice. Cut to a closeup on Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, ya little sacks of crap, just so I never have to use this weird foamy thing, ''{He kicks a floatation device hanging from his perch.}'' lemme explain the pool rules.

''{A paper reading "POOL RULES" appears. Strong Bad reads along.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Welcome to our 'ool. (Notice there is no "Take a crap in it" in it. Please keep it that way. 

''{Cut to The Poopsmith, wearing a Nebulon flotation device and testing the water with his foot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Poopsmith, don't even try it.

''{A Nebulon-esque sound is heard as The Poopsmith hangs his head. Cut back to Strong Bad. The Pool Rules sheet returns, and the following rules get added with illustrations as Strong Bad mentions them. The pictures are: A horse head holding a knife in its mouth, a house with a blast behind it and its walls and roof falling in, and a person's butt with a hand on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Also, no rough-horsing, no house-rousing, no butt-patting.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{offscreen}'' Aw, nuts!

'''STRONG BAD:''' And no running, no diving, no swimming.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But that last one is not very widely enforced. But most importantly, after you eat, wait three full days, get a complete physical, have an ear candling, and press UP, A and START before re-entering the pool.

''{Strong Bad looks at Marzipan, whose ponytail has a green tinge and the very tip of it is smoldering. The burn is slowly making its way up her ponytail, burning it off during the whole scene.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Strong Bad, what did you put in this pool water?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunno... chemicals, whatever was under the sink.

''{Cut to a pile of chemical containers and a bottle of Awesome Sauce.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You gotta put chemicals in the pool, right? That's what they say. ''{Pause}'' And that is ''all'' that they say.

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

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{suddenly smiling}'' Well, whatever it is, it's doing wonders for my hair. I can feel it tingling.

''{Cut to stormy clouds, faint flashes of lightning, and the sound of thunder. Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in sing-song voice}'' Lightning. ''{in a normal voice}'' You guys know the drill.

''{Cut to Bubs, Strong Mad, and The Cheat leaving the pool}''

'''STRONG MAD and THE CHEAT:''' ''{groans and The Cheat noises}''

'''BUBS''': Man!

''{Homestar Runner, Coach Z, and The King of Town walk through the pool carrying a TV antenna, golf clubs, and an umbrella, respectively. They stop in the middle of the pool.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER, COACH Z and THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{sighs and groans}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad talking with Bubs at the lifeguard chair}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So later on anybody wanna get together a game of "Sharks and Minnows"? "Einstein and Kreskin"? "Pregnant and seventeen"?

'''BUBS:''' ''{points toward the diving board}'' Uh-oh! Looks like we should be playin' "Keep Strong Mad off the freakin' high dive for Pete's sake, man!"

''{Strong Mad jumps off of a high-dive}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' MANNONBALL!


''{Strong Mad takes the shape of a cannonball and makes a tiny splash in the water. There is a short pause. Suddenly, all of the water is splashed out of the pool. Shadows of The Cheat, Coach Z, the lifeguard tower, Strong Bad, and Homestar are seen through the wave. Cut back to Strong Bad's computer. Strong Bad crashes in through the ceiling. Water splashes down on him. He looks up}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I should really just stop patching that hole. ''{typing}'' Well, it looks like pool season's over. Guess I have to start Back2School shopping. Get some new pencil holders... ''{Homestar can be heard screaming in the background}'' stencil folders...

''{Homestar lands on top of Strong Bad}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, Strong Bad, I think that total wave ruined your 'ool.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{groaning}'' Ah... I... breaky... spiney...

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

==Easter Eggs==
* Click on CA when Strong Bad says "Sunnyvale, Cactus Area" to see a menu:

<blockquote>
Cactus Area 
"The most boring Mexican restaurant on Earth" 
''{picture of a circle around two [[Wikipedia:saguaro|saguaro cacti]] and the word "Sombrero".}'' 
(Yes, we know what salsa is now!)</blockquote>

* Click on the Lappy's screen at the end to see Strong Sad continuing his weather forecast:

:'''STRONG SAD:''' Wind sou'-sou'west at 10 miles per hour. Sunset at 8:45 PM. ''{The King of Town slowly comes up behind him}'' Baseball games at two, eleven, and three. ''{The King of Town puts a cherry on Strong Sad's head and pulls out a can of "Lard Wipt"}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*When Strong Bad is pointing out places that are Strong Badia and places which are not, the scenes with the cut-out figures are modeled after pages from children's sticker books in which the goal is to place the proper sticker in the right blank area on the page.
*[[Minor Foods#Hoisin Sauce|Hoisin Sauce]] is a type of Chinese dipping sauce made from soybeans, garlic, and spices.
*A [[Wikipedia:Trundle bed|Trundle bed]] is a low bed that can be rolled under another bed for storage.
*"Rough-[[Horses|horsing]]" is a play on the words roughhousing and horseplay, which signify rowdy playing or play fighting.
*Strong Bad's advice that "after you eat, wait three full days, get a complete physical," and so on, is a reference to the urban legend that one must [[snopes:oldwives/hourwait.asp|wait an hour after eating]] before swimming so as to prevent cramps.
*[[Wikipedia:Ear candling|Ear candling]], also known as ear coning, is a folk remedy purporting to use the heat from a specialized candle to remove wax and debris from the ear.
*Marzipan's hair turning green is a result of the reactions of [http://chemistry.about.com/od/howthingsworkfaqs/f/greenhair.htm copper] on blond hair.

===Trivia===
*Strong Bad's paper reads:
<div style="text-align:center; padding:8px; border: 1pt solid #000; width:300px">Monkey D's Summer Tips 95°-100°=COOL TIME, POOL TIME!!! 90°-95°=Grip n' Glide time,                               Slide n' Slide time 85°-90°=Tinkler time, Sprinkler time 80°-85°=Nose time, Hose time 
 </div>
*In the pile of chemical bottles, there is a bottle of Bleach juice, which claims to contain −4% fruit juice (a possible parody of many modern "fruit drinks," which are composed mainly of water and artificial ingredients).
*Mannonball is a [[portmanteau]].

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad's explaining the difference between Strong Badia and the other parts of [[Free Country, USA]], is one of the most abrupt [[fourth wall breaks]] to date.
*Strong Bad clearly explains the extent of Strong Badia, and then immediately leaves it (going to The Brick Wall near Homestar's house) to get the meteorological information.
*An air temperature of 97° [[Wikipedia:Fahrenheit|Fahrenheit]] (36° [[Wikipedia:Celsius|Celsius]]) with a relative humidity of 25% puts the dew point at approximately 55° F (13° C), low enough to make the heat index approximately 95° F (35° C). While the air temperature may be quite warm, the humidity would not be too terribly uncomfortable. A wind speed of 10 mph (16 km/h) would also keep the air from becoming too oppressive.
*When Strong Bad comes out from behind the wall, his legs are an older version.
*Strong Bad's farmer tan (tanned except in an area where a tank top would be) is curious considering that Strong Bad has only on very rare occasions been seen with a shirt.
*The Pool Rules state there is no diving, despite the fact that there is a diving board. However, there's also a rule forbidding swimming even though it's a swimming pool.
*Strong Bad mentions that, after eating, you must have an ear candling before reentering the pool. None of the main characters have visible ears.
*Marzipan remarks that she can feel her hair tingling, despite the fact that in [[haircut]] she states, "This is a weave."
*While Homestar and the King of Town wear swimsuits to the pool, Coach Z, Bubs, Strong Mad, and Marzipan appear as they normally do, wearing their usual outfits as if they were swimsuits (although Coach Z adds a barrel).
*This marks the first time viewers have seen the King of Town's exposed shoulder area, further reinforcing the fact that he doesn't have [[Lack of Visible Arms|visible arms]].
*When Homestar lands on Strong Bad, neither the new [[No Loafing sign]] nor the old one is anywhere to be seen.

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad places the Hoisin Sauce on Strong Sad's head, the reflection of the sun is facing in the opposite direction of the sun.
*The Pool Rules sign doesn't have a closing parenthesis.
**Since the asterisk (*) and opening parenthesis are closer together on a keyboard, the opening parenthesis may have been typed by mistake.
*Clicking on the Lappy's screen after Strong Bad starts typing after he falls from the ceiling does not cause the usual ripple.

===Inside References===
[[Image:Keepcool stoppatchnhole.png|thumb|"I should really just stop patching that hole."]]
*The "ds" on the Homestar Runner cutout might stand for "Duckshirt" or "Dumbstar", two [[Nicknames#Homestar Runner|nicknames]] Strong Bad has used for Homestar in the past.
*[[Hoisin Sauce]] was previously mentioned in the Homsar Easter egg in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]].
*Strong Bad's calling Strong Sad "[[Wikipedia:Dairy Queen|Dairy Queen]]" (a restaurant famous for its soft-serve ice cream products) in [[Bug In Mouth Disease]] is related to his describing Strong Sad's head as having a "soft-serve flip" in this toon.
*[[Monkey D]] contributes his "summer tips".
*Strong Bad's reference to the pool's existence refers to the pool scenes from [[A Jumping Jack Contest]] and the [[Theme Song Video]]. His insistence that they use it "all the time" is a play on the fact that, until this email, the pool had not been seen since the Theme Song Video.
**Strong Bad's assertion that they've always had the pool is later supported in the commentary for [[In Search of the Yello Dello Commentary|In Search of the Yello Dello]], where Strong Sad mentions that everyone in school suddenly started being nice to him because he had a pool.
*Strong Bad's tan lines were first seen in [[lures & jigs]].
*The patch of sunscreen on Strong Bad's face is a reference to a running gag that he [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Strong Bad.27s Nose|has no nose]].
*The Poopsmith uses a [[Nebulon]] floating tube; when Strong Bad tells him that he can't get in the pool, the Nebulon [[sound effect]] is played.
*In the pile of chemical containers, there is some "[[Roach Killa!]]" from [[bedtime story]] and some "Awesome Sauce" which was mentioned in [[funny]] (though this is "Awesome Sauce for her").
[[Image:bottles.png|thumb|For Her?]]
*Homestar's swimsuit is the same as the one he wears in [[Theme Song Video]], only updated to fit the current animation style.
*The nickname "[[Graw Mad]]" is a reference to [[the facts]].

*Back2School was first mentioned in [[modeling]].
*The disk in the [[floppy disk container]] is the same one found in [[disconnected]].

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

'''RYAN:''' I got an issue of Redbook this morning.

'''MATT:''' Oh yeah? Are you getting Redbook in the mail?

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''RYAN:''' What about you, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' I do not get Redbook, guys.

'''MATT:''' I keep trying to— they get—

'''MIKE:''' I get Dressage Today.

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

'''RYAN:''' And that's not a joke.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Nope. ''{pause}'' So that was— Strong Bad finally got fed up and told everyone that Strong Badia does not refer to all of the world they live in.

'''MATT:''' All of the world is Free Country, USA.

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

'''MATT:''' Strong Badia is just the fence and mowed dirt.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Oh, "Mr. Chekhov".

'''MATT:''' That's some high-brow readin' right there. ''{pause}'' I feel like we're all— we're all opening minds with, uhh, what we've mentioned. Thai iced tea, spring rolls, now that that's so good. A rarity... uhh, hoisin sauce. What else? I feel like there's a few different culinary things we've mentioned.

'''MIKE:''' Pan-Asian cuisine, in general.

'''RYAN:''' Monkey D.

'''MIKE:''' Monkey D!

'''MATT:''' Sorta reminds me of the, uhh, episode of Saved by the Bell where they've got an elevator in the school.

'''MIKE:''' Yep.

'''MATT:''' ''{pause}'' They call it the pool. ''{pause}'' uhh, but they have had a pool, seemingly for a— for many years, Mike. All the way back to the Jumping Jack Contest.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Well, yeah, that's right. Uhh, Jumping Jack?

'''MATT:''' And it even had that red and white checkerboard, uhh, border on the top.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Look, he's got his t—tan he had— his farmer's tan that he had in, uhh, what is that, lures and jigs?

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Lures and jigs.

'''MATT:''' Look at that baby's stinky butt.

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

'''MATT:''' Aww. ''{laughs}'' Nebulon. ''{pause}'' What was that "House-Rousing", is that, like, a house falling apart? That's how you rouse a house.

'''RYAN:''' ''{pause}'' And it does look pretty hot, you guys, there.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, the color, the green's a little bit off from the usual green. It—it's saturated— It's saturated with sunlight. ''{pause}'' Remember hair turning green? As a blonde-haired youth, that was a big deal in the summertime.

'''MIKE:''' You had to watch out, makin' sure chlorine didn't turn your hair green.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Remember, what were those foam pad things that the, uhh, lifeguard would have?

'''MIKE:''' It was just this big, foam— it was a float, you know, a flotation device, but it was just this big chunk of foam.

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Wasn't gonna do much.

'''MIKE:''' No.

'''RYAN:''' Were they connected to it?

'''MIKE:''' Uhh... Lifeguards?

'''RYAN:''' I can picture them running, and it's like, it has a string on it, but, I dunno.

'''MIKE:''' Maybe. ''{pause}'' y'think— so, can Bubs not swim? He needs water wings?

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

'''MIKE:''' ''{pause}'' That's the best.

'''MATT:''' Look, nothing hap—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Oh no!

'''MATT:''' Lots happened, actually, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Ooh! ''{pause}'' isn't that actually the second time— the second time Strong Bad has fallen through his ceiling?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, when Pom Pom beat the crap out of him, he fell through it.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{pause}'' Uh-oh.

''{all laugh when Homestar crashes into Strong Bad}''

'''MIKE:''' Breaky-spiney.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I don't—

'''MIKE:''' We just kinda watched this one.

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Oh man,,,</div>
How hot is it right now in Strongbadia? We're boiling over 
here. What do you do to keep cool?

</blockquote>

''{After "Strongbadia", a record scratches, the screen dims and another Strong Bad appears.}''

'''SECOND STRONG BAD:''' Note to viewers:

''{Screen cuts to Strong Badia. A cutout in the shape of Strong Bad labeled "sb" is shown.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''This'' is Strong Badia.

''{Screen cuts to Bubs' Concession Stand, with a similar cutout for Bubs labeled "bubs".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Not this...

''{Screen cuts to Strong Bad's basement, with a cutout of Strong Mad labeled "graw mad".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...this...

''{Screen cuts to The Stick, with a cutout of Homestar labeled "ds".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...or this.

''{Cut back to Strong Badia.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Just this.

''{Cut back to the still-dimmed Lappy.}''

'''SECOND STRONG BAD:''' We clear? Now gimme five.

''{The second Strong Bad holds up his left hand, and then disappears as the rest of the screen returns to normal and the original Strong Bad finishes reading the email. He reads "CA" as "Cactus Area."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm not exactly sure how hot it is round here, Tomby. But we do have an old-timey, made-uppy, no-worky way of finding out.

''{Cut to Strong Sad, sleeping on a brick wall. A book labeled "Mr. Chekhov" is next to him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' We carefully place a spoonful...

''{Strong Bad and Strong Mad rise from behind Strong Sad, and Strong Bad places a spoon of sauce on Strong Sad's head.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...of hoisin sauce on Strong Sad's disturbing soft-serve flip. ''{pause}'' And then we just... ask him.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey!

''{Strong Bad hits Strong Sad, who wakes up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Trundle bed, how hot it is right now?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Current temperature: ninety-seven, ninety-eight degrees... humidity: twenty-five percent... ''{Strong Bad and Strong Mad slowly start to leave, making a tapping noise as they do.}'' barometric pressure's thirty point oh five inches mercury... I'm gonna eat this spoonful of hoisin sauce...

''{Strong Sad grabs the spoon from off his head and opens his mouth to eat the sauce. But before he does, we cut to the edge of the wall, where Strong Bad and Strong Mad are standing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You hear that?! The high nineties!

''{Strong Bad pulls out a paper titled "[[#Trivia|Monkey D's Summer Tips]]". The screen cuts to a closeup of the paper.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know what that means!

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Strong Mad. Music starts. Strong Bad jumps up in the air, whilst Strong Mad raises his hands up.}''

'''STRONG BAD AND STRONG MAD:''' COOL TIME, POOL TIME!!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' In the pool that we've always had... ''{Strong Mad looks surprised}'' that we use all the time... and the school has always had an elevator!

''{Cut to Marzipan's couch. Marzipan is sitting on it. Homestar Runner pops up in the foreground.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Cool time!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Pool time!

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand, where Coach Z is leaning on the counter.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Cool time?

'''BUBS:''' Pool time!

''{Cut to the Field, where Pom Pom and The Poopsmith are standing.}''

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

''{The Poopsmith gives him the thumbs-up.}''

''{Cut to the Pool. Strong Bad is sitting in the lifeguard's chair. Coach Z walks past in the background with a barrel over him. Bubs floats with inflatable water wings on his arms. The Cheat skims across the surface of the water quickly twice. Cut to a closeup on Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, ya little sacks of crap, just so I never have to use this weird foamy thing, ''{He kicks a floatation device hanging from his perch.}'' lemme explain the pool rules.

''{A paper reading "POOL RULES" appears. Strong Bad reads along.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Welcome to our 'ool. (Notice there is no "Take a crap in it" in it. Please keep it that way. 

''{Cut to The Poopsmith, wearing a Nebulon flotation device and testing the water with his foot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Poopsmith, don't even try it.

''{A Nebulon-esque sound is heard as The Poopsmith hangs his head. Cut back to Strong Bad. The Pool Rules sheet returns, and the following rules get added with illustrations as Strong Bad mentions them. The pictures are: A horse head holding a knife in its mouth, a house with a blast behind it and its walls and roof falling in, and a person's butt with a hand on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Also, no rough-horsing, no house-rousing, no butt-patting.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{offscreen}'' Aw, nuts!

'''STRONG BAD:''' And no running, no diving, no swimming.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But that last one is not very widely enforced. But most importantly, after you eat, wait three full days, get a complete physical, have an ear candling, and press UP, A and START before re-entering the pool.

''{Strong Bad looks at Marzipan, whose ponytail has a green tinge and the very tip of it is smoldering. The burn is slowly making its way up her ponytail, burning it off during the whole scene.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Strong Bad, what did you put in this pool water?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunno... chemicals, whatever was under the sink.

''{Cut to a pile of chemical containers and a bottle of Awesome Sauce.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You gotta put chemicals in the pool, right? That's what they say. ''{Pause}'' And that is ''all'' that they say.

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

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{suddenly smiling}'' Well, whatever it is, it's doing wonders for my hair. I can feel it tingling.

''{Cut to stormy clouds, faint flashes of lightning, and the sound of thunder. Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in sing-song voice}'' Lightning. ''{in a normal voice}'' You guys know the drill.

''{Cut to Bubs, Strong Mad, and The Cheat leaving the pool}''

'''STRONG MAD and THE CHEAT:''' ''{groans and The Cheat noises}''

'''BUBS''': Man!

''{Homestar Runner, Coach Z, and The King of Town walk through the pool carrying a TV antenna, golf clubs, and an umbrella, respectively. They stop in the middle of the pool.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER, COACH Z and THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{sighs and groans}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad talking with Bubs at the lifeguard chair}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So later on anybody wanna get together a game of "Sharks and Minnows"? "Einstein and Kreskin"? "Pregnant and seventeen"?

'''BUBS:''' ''{points toward the diving board}'' Uh-oh! Looks like we should be playin' "Keep Strong Mad off the freakin' high dive for Pete's sake, man!"

''{Strong Mad jumps off of a high-dive}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' MANNONBALL!


''{Strong Mad takes the shape of a cannonball and makes a tiny splash in the water. There is a short pause. Suddenly, all of the water is splashed out of the pool. Shadows of The Cheat, Coach Z, the lifeguard tower, Strong Bad, and Homestar are seen through the wave. Cut back to Strong Bad's computer. Strong Bad crashes in through the ceiling. Water splashes down on him. He looks up}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I should really just stop patching that hole. ''{typing}'' Well, it looks like pool season's over. Guess I have to start Back2School shopping. Get some new pencil holders... ''{Homestar can be heard screaming in the background}'' stencil folders...

''{Homestar lands on top of Strong Bad}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, Strong Bad, I think that total wave ruined your 'ool.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{groaning}'' Ah... I... breaky... spiney...

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

==Easter Eggs==
* Click on CA when Strong Bad says "Sunnyvale, Cactus Area" to see a menu:

<blockquote>
Cactus Area 
"The most boring Mexican restaurant on Earth" 
''{picture of a circle around two [[Wikipedia:saguaro|saguaro cacti]] and the word "Sombrero".}'' 
(Yes, we know what salsa is now!)</blockquote>

* Click on the Lappy's screen at the end to see Strong Sad continuing his weather forecast:

:'''STRONG SAD:''' Wind sou'-sou'west at 10 miles per hour. Sunset at 8:45 PM. ''{The King of Town slowly comes up behind him}'' Baseball games at two, eleven, and three. ''{The King of Town puts a cherry on Strong Sad's head and pulls out a can of "Lard Wipt"}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*When Strong Bad is pointing out places that are Strong Badia and places which are not, the scenes with the cut-out figures are modeled after pages from children's sticker books in which the goal is to place the proper sticker in the right blank area on the page.
*[[Minor Foods#Hoisin Sauce|Hoisin Sauce]] is a type of Chinese dipping sauce made from soybeans, garlic, and spices.
*A [[Wikipedia:Trundle bed|Trundle bed]] is a low bed that can be rolled under another bed for storage.
*"Rough-[[Horses|horsing]]" is a play on the words roughhousing and horseplay, which signify rowdy playing or play fighting.
*Strong Bad's advice that "after you eat, wait three full days, get a complete physical," and so on, is a reference to the urban legend that one must [[snopes:oldwives/hourwait.asp|wait an hour after eating]] before swimming so as to prevent cramps.
*[[Wikipedia:Ear candling|Ear candling]], also known as ear coning, is a folk remedy purporting to use the heat from a specialized candle to remove wax and debris from the ear.
*Marzipan's hair turning green is a reference to the reactions to [http://chemistry.about.com/od/howthingsworkfaqs/f/greenhair.htm copper] on blond hair.

===Trivia===
*Strong Bad's paper reads:
<div style="text-align:center; padding:8px; border: 1pt solid #000; width:300px">Monkey D's Summer Tips 95°-100°=COOL TIME, POOL TIME!!! 90°-95°=Grip n' Glide time,                               Slide n' Slide time 85°-90°=Tinkler time, Sprinkler time 80°-85°=Nose time, Hose time 
 </div>
*In the pile of chemical bottles, there is a bottle of Bleach juice, which claims to contain −4% fruit juice (a possible parody of many modern "fruit drinks," which are composed mainly of water and artificial ingredients).
*Mannonball is a [[portmanteau]].

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad's explaining the difference between Strong Badia and the other parts of [[Free Country, USA]], is one of the most abrupt [[fourth wall breaks]] to date.
*Strong Bad clearly explains the extent of Strong Badia, and then immediately leaves it (going to The Brick Wall near Homestar's house) to get the meteorological information.
*An air temperature of 97° [[Wikipedia:Fahrenheit|Fahrenheit]] (36° [[Wikipedia:Celsius|Celsius]]) with a relative humidity of 25% puts the dew point at approximately 55° F (13° C), low enough to make the heat index approximately 95° F (35° C). While the air temperature may be quite warm, the humidity would not be too terribly uncomfortable. A wind speed of 10 mph (16 km/h) would also keep the air from becoming too oppressive.
*When Strong Bad jumps out from behind the wall, his legs are an older version.
*Strong Bad's farmer tan (tanned except in an area where a tank top would be) is curious considering that Strong Bad has only on very rare occasions been seen with a shirt.
*The Pool Rules state there is no diving, despite the fact that there is a diving board. However, there's also a rule forbidding swimming even though it's a swimming pool.
*Strong Bad mentions that, after eating, you must have an ear candling before reentering the pool. None of the main characters have visible ears.
*Marzipan remarks that she can feel her hair tingling, despite the fact that in [[haircut]] she states, "This is a weave."
*While Homestar and the King of Town wear swimsuits to the pool, Coach Z, Bubs, Strong Mad, and Marzipan appear as they normally do, wearing their usual outfits as if they were swimsuits (although Coach Z adds a barrel).
*This marks the first time viewers have seen the King of Town's exposed shoulder area, further reinforcing the fact that he doesn't have [[Lack of Visible Arms|visible arms]].
*When Homestar lands on Strong Bad, neither the new [[No Loafing sign]] nor the old one is anywhere to be seen.

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad places the Hoisin Sauce on Strong Sad's head, the reflection of the sun is facing in the opposite direction of the sun.
*The Pool Rules sign doesn't have a closing parenthesis.
**Since the asterisk (*) and opening parenthesis are closer together on a keyboard, the opening parenthesis may have been typed by mistake.
*Clicking on the Lappy's screen after Strong Bad starts typing after he falls from the ceiling does not cause the usual ripple.

===Inside References===
[[Image:Keepcool stoppatchnhole.png|thumb|"I should really just stop patching that hole."]]
*The "ds" on the Homestar Runner cutout might stand for "Duckshirt" or "Dumbstar", two [[Nicknames#Homestar Runner|nicknames]] Strong Bad has used for Homestar in the past.
*[[Hoisin Sauce]] was previously mentioned in the Homsar Easter egg in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]].
*Strong Bad's calling Strong Sad "[[Wikipedia:Dairy Queen|Dairy Queen]]" (a restaurant famous for its soft-serve ice cream products) in [[Bug In Mouth Disease]] is related to his describing Strong Sad's head as having a "soft-serve flip" in this toon although, adding more mystery to the subject, Strong Sad said that he "made a mistake" as to why Strong Bad should stop calling him that, leading away from this thought.
*[[Monkey D]] contributes his "summer tips".
*Strong Bad's reference to the pool's existence refers to the pool scenes from [[A Jumping Jack Contest]] and the [[Theme Song Video]]. His insistence that they use it "all the time" is a play on the fact that, until this email, the pool had not been seen since the Theme Song Video.
**Strong Bad's assertion that they've always had the pool is later supported in the commentary for [[In Search of the Yello Dello Commentary|In Search of the Yello Dello]], where Strong Sad mentions that everyone in school suddenly started being nice to him because he had a pool.
*Strong Bad's tan lines were first seen in [[lures & jigs]].
*The patch of sunscreen on Strong Bad's face is a reference to a running gag that he [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Strong Bad.27s Nose|has no nose]].
*The Poopsmith uses a [[Nebulon]] floating tube; when Strong Bad tells him that he can't get in the pool, the Nebulon [[sound effect]] is played.
*In the pile of chemical containers, there is some "[[Roach Killa!]]" from [[bedtime story]] and some "Awesome Sauce" which was mentioned in [[funny]] (though this is "Awesome Sauce for her").
[[Image:bottles.png|thumb|For Her?]]
*Homestar's swimsuit is the same as the one he wears in [[Theme Song Video]], only updated to fit the current animation style.
*The nickname "[[Graw Mad]]" is a reference to [[the facts]].
*Strong Bad's remark explaining that he "should really stop patching that hole" refers to [[pom pom]], when he fell through the roof in a similar fashion.
*Back2School was first mentioned in [[modeling]].
*The disk in the [[floppy disk container]] is the same one found in [[disconnected]].

===Real-World References===
*This email was released during an actual heat wave in the [[Wikipedia:2006 United States heat wave|United States]], Canada, and much of [[Wikipedia:2006 European heat wave|Europe]]. [[Wikipedia:Sunnyvale, California|Sunnyvale]] itself had just suffered a two-week period of unusually hot weather, responsible for 83 heat-related deaths in California.
*[[Wikipedia:Anton Chekhov|Anton Chekhov]] is a Russian writer. [[Wikipedia:Pavel Chekov|Pavel Chekov]], a character on [[Wikipedia:Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]], was often referred to as "Mr. Chekov." It is not clear from context whether the intended reference is to one or both of these people.
*The manner in which Strong Sad reports the weather is very similar to the style of [[Wikipedia:NOAA Weather Radio|NOAA Weather Radio]], which uses synthesized voices to read weather information (however, the voices are not monotone). The common order of this data, the hourly weather roundup, is:
** Location
** Condition
** Visibility if under 1 mile (1.6km)
** Temperature
** Dewpoint
** Relative humidity
** The heat index if necessary
** Wind
** Windchill if necessary
** Barometric pressure
:Strong Sad's statement of "Sunset at 8:45 PM" could also refer to the sunrise and sunset data given in the climate summary, which is broadcast every morning if a climatology reporting location is within a listening area of a station.
*The second item on "Monkey D's Summer Tips" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Slip 'N Slide|Slip 'N Slide]] water toy.
*Strong Bad's line "the school's always had an elevator" refers to an episode of [[Wikipedia: Saved by the Bell|Saved by the Bell]] in which an elevator suddenly appears in the school as required by the plot of an episode, though the characters act as though it had always been present. Note that in this case, the pool had been seen previously, but The Brothers Chaps suddenly reintroduced it after having seemingly abandoned the location for several years.
*Strong Bad's "Welcome to our 'ool" sign is a parody of a popular [http://www.flickr.com/photos/thecampbell/209540717/ "Pool Rules" sign] that states "Welcome to our ool. Notice there is no 'P' in it. Let's keep it that way."
*Strong Bad's command to "press UP, A, and START before re-entering the pool" is a reference to the manner in which various [[Wikipedia:Cheat code|cheat codes]] are entered on video game consoles, such as the [[Nintendo|Nintendo Entertainment System]].
*Marzipan's comment "I can feel it tingling" is a reference to commercials for medicated anti-dandruff shampoos, particularly [[Wikipedia:Selsun Blue|Selsun Blue]], that use tingling as an indication that the product is working.
*Einstein and Kreskin refer to [[Wikipedia:Albert Einstein|Albert Einstein]] (world-famous physicist) and [[Wikipedia:Amazing Kreskin|The Amazing Kreskin]] (sort-of-famous mentalist).

'''MIKE:''' Ooh! ''{pause}'' isn't that actually the second time— the second time Strong Bad has fallen through his ceiling?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, when Pom Pom beat the crap out of him, he fell through it.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

</blockquote>

''{After "Strongbadia", a record scratches, the screen dims and another Strong Bad appears.}''

'''SECOND STRONG BAD:''' Note to viewers:

''{Screen cuts to Strong Badia. A cutout in the shape of Strong Bad labeled "sb" is shown.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''This'' is Strong Badia.

''{Screen cuts to Bubs' Concession Stand, with a similar cutout for Bubs labeled "bubs".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Not this...

''{Screen cuts to Strong Bad's basement, with a cutout of Strong Mad labeled "graw mad".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...this...

''{Screen cuts to The Stick, with a cutout of Homestar labeled "ds".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...or this.

''{Cut back to Strong Badia.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Just this.

''{Cut back to the still-dimmed Lappy.}''

'''SECOND STRONG BAD:''' We clear? Now gimme five.

''{The second Strong Bad holds up his left hand, and then disappears as the rest of the screen returns to normal and the original Strong Bad finishes reading the email. He reads "CA" as "Cactus Area."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm not exactly sure how hot it is round here, Tomby. But we do have an old-timey, made-uppy, no-worky way of finding out.

''{Cut to Strong Sad, sleeping on a brick wall. A book labeled "Mr. Chekhov" is next to him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' We carefully place a spoonful...

''{Strong Bad and Strong Mad rise from behind Strong Sad, and Strong Bad places a spoon of sauce on Strong Sad's head.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...of hoisin sauce on Strong Sad's disturbing soft-serve flip. ''{pause}'' And then we just... ask him.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey!

''{Strong Bad hits Strong Sad, who wakes up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Trundle bed, how hot it is right now?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Current temperature: ninety-seven, ninety-eight degrees... humidity: twenty-five percent... ''{Strong Bad and Strong Mad slowly start to leave, making a tapping noise as they do.}'' barometric pressure's thirty point oh five inches mercury... I'm gonna eat this spoonful of hoisin sauce...

''{Strong Sad grabs the spoon from off his head and opens his mouth to eat the sauce. But before he does, we cut to the edge of the wall, where Strong Bad and Strong Mad are standing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You hear that?! The high nineties!

''{Strong Bad pulls out a paper titled "[[#Trivia|Monkey D's Summer Tips]]". The screen cuts to a closeup of the paper.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know what that means!

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Strong Mad. Music starts. Strong Bad jumps up in the air, whilst Strong Mad raises his hands up.}''

'''STRONG BAD AND STRONG MAD:''' COOL TIME, POOL TIME!!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' In the pool that we've always had... ''{Strong Mad looks surprised}'' that we use all the time... and the school has always had an elevator!

''{Cut to Marzipan's couch. Marzipan is sitting on it. Homestar Runner pops up in the foreground.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Cool time!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Pool time!

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand, where Coach Z is leaning on the counter.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Cool time?

'''BUBS:''' Pool time!

''{Cut to the Field, where Pom Pom and The Poopsmith are standing.}''

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

''{The Poopsmith gives him the thumbs-up.}''

''{Cut to the Pool. Strong Bad is sitting in the lifeguard's chair. Coach Z walks past in the background with a barrel over him. Bubs floats with inflatable water wings on his arms. The Cheat skims across the surface of the water quickly twice. Cut to a closeup on Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, ya little sacks of crap, just so I never have to use this weird foamy thing, ''{He kicks a floatation device hanging from his perch.}'' lemme explain the pool rules.

''{A paper reading "POOL RULES" appears. Strong Bad reads along.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Welcome to our 'ool. (Notice there is no "Take a crap in it" in it. Please keep it that way. 

''{Cut to The Poopsmith, wearing a Nebulon flotation device and testing the water with his foot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Poopsmith, don't even try it.

''{A Nebulon-esque sound is heard as The Poopsmith hangs his head. Cut back to Strong Bad. The Pool Rules sheet returns, and the following rules get added with illustrations as Strong Bad mentions them. The pictures are: A horse head holding a knife in its mouth, a house with a blast behind it and its walls and roof falling in, and a person's butt with a hand on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Also, no rough-horsing, no house-rousing, no butt-patting.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{offscreen}'' Aw, nuts!

'''STRONG BAD:''' And no running, no diving, no swimming.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But that last one is not very widely enforced. But most importantly, after you eat, wait three full days, get a complete physical, have an ear candling, and press UP, A and START before re-entering the pool.

''{Strong Bad looks at Marzipan, whose ponytail has a green tinge and the very tip of it is smoldering. The burn is slowly making its way up her ponytail, burning it off during the whole scene.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Strong Bad, what did you put in this pool water?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunno... chemicals, whatever was under the sink.

''{Cut to a pile of chemical containers and a bottle of Awesome Sauce.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You gotta put chemicals in the pool, right? That's what they say. ''{Pause}'' And that is ''all'' that they say.

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

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{suddenly smiling}'' Well, whatever it is, it's doing wonders for my hair. I can feel it tingling.

''{Cut to stormy clouds, faint flashes of lightning, and the sound of thunder. Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in sing-song voice}'' Lightning. ''{in a normal voice}'' You guys know the drill.

''{Cut to Bubs, Strong Mad, and The Cheat leaving the pool}''

'''STRONG MAD and THE CHEAT:''' ''{groans and The Cheat noises}''

'''BUBS''': Man!

''{Homestar Runner, Coach Z, and The King of Town walk through the pool carrying a TV antenna, golf clubs, and an umbrella, respectively. They stop in the middle of the pool.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER, COACH Z and THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{sighs and groans}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad talking with Bubs at the lifeguard chair}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So later on anybody wanna get together a game of "Sharks and Minnows"? "Einstein and Kreskin"? "Pregnant and seventeen"?

'''BUBS:''' ''{points toward the diving board}'' Uh-oh! Looks like we should be playin' "Keep Strong Mad off the freakin' high dive for Pete's sake, man!"

''{Strong Mad jumps off of a high-dive}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' MANNONBALL!


''{Strong Mad takes the shape of a cannonball and makes a tiny splash in the water. There is a short pause. Suddenly, all of the water is splashed out of the pool. Shadows of The Cheat, Coach Z, the lifeguard tower, Strong Bad, and Homestar are seen through the wave. Cut back to Strong Bad's computer. Strong Bad crashes in through the ceiling. Water splashes down on him. He looks up}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I should really just stop patching that hole. ''{typing}'' Well, it looks like pool season's over. Guess I have to start Back2School shopping. Get some new pencil holders... ''{Homestar can be heard screaming in the background}'' stencil folders...

''{Homestar lands on top of Strong Bad}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, Strong Bad, I think that total wave ruined your 'ool.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{groaning}'' Ah... I... breaky... spiney...

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

==Easter Eggs==
* Click on CA when Strong Bad says "Sunnyvale, Cactus Area" to see a menu:

<blockquote>
Cactus Area 
"The most boring Mexican restaurant on Earth" 
''{picture of a circle around two [[Wikipedia:saguaro|saguaro cacti]] and the word "Sombrero".}'' 
(Yes, we know what salsa is now!)</blockquote>

* Click on the Lappy's screen at the end to see Strong Sad continuing his weather forecast:

:'''STRONG SAD:''' Wind sou'-sou'west at 10 miles per hour. Sunset at 8:45 PM. ''{The King of Town slowly comes up behind him}'' Baseball games at two, eleven, and three. ''{The King of Town puts a cherry on Strong Sad's head and pulls out a can of "Lard Wipt"}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*A [[Wikipedia:Trundle bed|Trundle bed]] is a low bed that can be rolled under another bed for storage.
*[[Wikipedia:Ear candling|Ear candling]], also known as ear coning, is a folk remedy purporting to use the heat from a specialized candle to remove wax and debris from the ear.
*[[Minor Foods#Hoisin Sauce|Hoisin Sauce]] is a type of Chinese dipping sauce made from soybeans, garlic, and spices.
*"Rough-[[Horses|horsing]]" is a play on the words roughhousing and horseplay, which signify rowdy playing or play fighting.
*Marzipan's hair turning green is a reference to the reactions to [http://chemistry.about.com/od/howthingsworkfaqs/f/greenhair.htm copper] on blond hair.
*Strong Bad's advice that "after you eat, wait three full days, get a complete physical," and so on, is a reference to the urban legend that one must [[snopes:oldwives/hourwait.asp|wait an hour after eating]] before swimming so as to prevent cramps.
*When Strong Bad is pointing out places that are Strong Badia and places which are not, the scenes with the cut-out figures are modeled after pages from children's sticker books in which the goal is to place the proper sticker in the right blank area on the page.

===Trivia===
*Strong Bad's paper reads:
<div style="text-align:center; padding:8px; border: 1pt solid #000; width:300px">Monkey D's Summer Tips 95°-100°=COOL TIME, POOL TIME!!! 90°-95°=Grip n' Glide time,                               Slide n' Slide time 85°-90°=Tinkler time, Sprinkler time 80°-85°=Nose time, Hose time 
 </div>
*In the pile of chemical bottles, there is a bottle of Bleach juice, which claims to contain −4% fruit juice (a possible parody of many modern "fruit drinks," which are composed mainly of water and artificial ingredients).
*Mannonball is a [[portmanteau]].

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad's explaining the difference between Strong Badia and the other parts of [[Free Country, USA]], is one of the most abrupt [[fourth wall breaks]] to date.
*Strong Bad clearly explains the extent of Strong Badia, and then immediately leaves it (going to The Brick Wall near Homestar's house) to get the meteorological information.
*An air temperature of 97° [[Wikipedia:Fahrenheit|Fahrenheit]] (36° [[Wikipedia:Celsius|Celsius]]) with a relative humidity of 25% puts the dew point at approximately 55° F (13° C), low enough to make the heat index approximately 95° F (35° C). While the air temperature may be quite warm, the humidity would not be too terribly uncomfortable. A wind speed of 10 mph (16 km/h) would also keep the air from becoming too oppressive.
*This marks the first time viewers have seen the King of Town's exposed shoulder area, further reinforcing the fact that he doesn't have [[Lack of Visible Arms|visible arms]].
*The Pool Rules state there is no diving, despite the fact that there is a diving board. However, there's also a rule forbidding swimming even though it's a swimming pool.
*When Strong Bad jumps out from behind the wall, his legs are an older version.
*When Homestar lands on Strong Bad, neither the new [[No Loafing sign]] nor the old one is anywhere to be seen.
*Strong Bad mentions that, after eating, you must have an ear candling before reentering the pool. None of the main characters have visible ears.
*While Homestar and the King of Town wear swimsuits to the pool, Coach Z, Bubs, Strong Mad, and Marzipan appear as they normally do, wearing their usual outfits as if they were swimsuits (although Coach Z adds a barrel).
* Strong Bad's farmer tan (tanned except in an area where a tank top would be) is curious considering that Strong Bad has only on very rare occasions been seen with a shirt.
*Marzipan remarks that she can feel her hair tingling, despite the fact that in [[haircut]] she states, "This is a weave."

===Goofs===
*The Pool Rules sign doesn't have a closing parenthesis.
**Since the asterisk (*) and opening parenthesis are closer together on a keyboard, the opening parenthesis may have been typed by mistake.
*Clicking on the Lappy's screen after Strong Bad starts typing after he falls from the ceiling does not cause the usual ripple.
*When Strong Bad places the Hoisin Sauce on Strong Sad's head, the reflection of the sun is facing in the opposite direction of the sun.

===Inside References===
[[Image:Keepcool stoppatchnhole.png|thumb|"I should really just stop patching that hole."]]
*The disk in the [[floppy disk container]] is the same one found in [[disconnected]].
*The "ds" on the Homestar Runner cutout might stand for "Duckshirt" or "Dumbstar", two [[Nicknames#Homestar Runner|nicknames]] Strong Bad has used for Homestar in the past.
*Strong Bad's calling Strong Sad "[[Wikipedia:Dairy Queen|Dairy Queen]]" (a restaurant famous for its soft-serve ice cream products) in [[Bug In Mouth Disease]] is related to his describing Strong Sad's head as having a "soft-serve flip" in this toon although, adding more mystery to the subject, Strong Sad said that he "made a mistake" as to why Strong Bad should stop calling him that, leading away from this thought.
*Strong Bad's reference to the pool's existence refers to the pool scenes from [[A Jumping Jack Contest]] and the [[Theme Song Video]]. His insistence that they use it "all the time" is a play on the fact that, until this email, the pool had not been seen since the Theme Song Video.
**Strong Bad's assertion that they've always had the pool is later supported in the commentary for [[In Search of the Yello Dello Commentary|In Search of the Yello Dello]], where Strong Sad mentions that everyone in school suddenly started being nice to him because he had a pool.
*The Poopsmith uses a [[Nebulon]] floating tube; when Strong Bad tells him that he can't get in the pool, the Nebulon [[sound effect]] is played.
*The nickname "[[Graw Mad]]" is a reference to [[the facts]].
*Strong Bad's tan lines were first seen in [[lures & jigs]].
*The patch of sunscreen on Strong Bad's face is a reference to a running gag that he [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Strong Bad.27s Nose|has no nose]].
*In the pile of chemical containers, there is some "[[Roach Killa!]]" from [[bedtime story]] and some "Awesome Sauce" which was mentioned in [[funny]] (though this is "Awesome Sauce for her").
[[Image:bottles.png|thumb|For Her?]]
*Homestar's swimsuit is the same as the one he wears in [[Theme Song Video]], only updated to fit the current animation style.
*[[Monkey D]] contributes his "summer tips".
*Strong Bad's remark explaining that he "should really stop patching that hole" refers to [[pom pom]], when he fell through the roof in a similar fashion.
*Back2School was first mentioned in [[modeling]].
*[[Hoisin Sauce]] was previously mentioned in the Homsar Easter egg in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]].

===Real-World References===
*This email was released during an actual heat wave in the [[Wikipedia:2006 United States heat wave|United States]], Canada, and much of [[Wikipedia:2006 European heat wave|Europe]]. [[Wikipedia:Sunnyvale, California|Sunnyvale]] itself had just suffered a two-week period of unusually hot weather, responsible for 83 heat-related deaths in California.
*[[Wikipedia:Anton Chekhov|Anton Chekhov]] is a Russian writer. [[Wikipedia:Pavel Chekov|Pavel Chekov]], a character on [[Wikipedia:Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]], was often referred to as "Mr. Chekov." It is not clear from context whether the intended reference is to one or both of these people.
*The second item on "Monkey D's Summer Tips" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Slip 'N Slide|Slip 'N Slide]] water toy.
*Strong Bad's "Welcome to our 'ool" sign is a parody of a popular [http://www.flickr.com/photos/thecampbell/209540717/ "Pool Rules" sign] that states "Welcome to our ool. Notice there is no 'P' in it. Let's keep it that way."
*Strong Bad's command to "press UP, A, and START before re-entering the pool" is a reference to the manner in which various [[Wikipedia:Cheat code|cheat codes]] are entered on video game consoles, such as the [[Nintendo|Nintendo Entertainment System]].
*Marzipan's comment "I can feel it tingling" is a reference to commercials for medicated anti-dandruff shampoos, particularly [[Wikipedia:Selsun Blue|Selsun Blue]], that use tingling as an indication that the product is working.
*Einstein and Kreskin refer to [[Wikipedia:Albert Einstein|Albert Einstein]] (world-famous physicist) and [[Wikipedia:Amazing Kreskin|The Amazing Kreskin]] (sort-of-famous mentalist).
*The manner in which Strong Sad reports the weather is very similar to the style of [[Wikipedia:NOAA Weather Radio|NOAA Weather Radio]], which uses synthesized voices to read weather information (however, the voices are not monotone). The common order of this data, the hourly weather roundup, is:
** Location
** Condition
** Visibility if under 1 mile (1.6km)
** Temperature
** Dewpoint
** Relative humidity
** The heat index if necessary
** Wind
** Windchill if necessary
** Barometric pressure
:Strong Sad's statement of "Sunset at 8:45 PM" could also refer to the sunrise and sunset data given in the climate summary, which is broadcast every morning if a climatology reporting location is within a listening area of a station.
*Strong Bad's line "the school's always had an elevator" refers to an episode of [[Wikipedia: Saved by the Bell|Saved by the Bell]] in which an elevator suddenly appears in the school as required by the plot of an episode, though the characters act as though it had always been present. Note that in this case, the pool had been seen previously, but The Brothers Chaps suddenly reintroduced it after having seemingly abandoned the location for several years.

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

'''RYAN:''' I got an issue of Redbook this morning.

'''MATT:''' Oh yeah? Are you getting Redbook in the mail?

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I keep getting it too!

'''RYAN:''' What about you, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' I do not get Redbook, guys.

'''MATT:''' I keep trying to— they get—

'''MIKE:''' I get Dressage Today.

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

'''RYAN:''' And that's not a joke.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Nope. ''{pause}'' So that was— Strong Bad finally got fed up and told everyone that Strong Badia does not refer to all of the world they live in.

'''MATT:''' All of the world is Free Country, USA.

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

'''MATT:''' Strong Badia is just the fence and mowed dirt.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Oh, "Mr. Chekhov".

'''MATT:''' That's some high-brow readin' right there. ''{pause}'' I feel like we're all— we're all opening minds with, uhh, what we've mentioned. Thai iced tea, spring rolls, now that that's so good. A rarity... uhh, hoisin sauce. What else? I feel like there's a few different culinary things we've mentioned.

'''MIKE:''' Pan-Asian cuisine, in general.

'''RYAN:''' Monkey D.

'''MIKE:''' Monkey D!

'''MATT:''' Sorta reminds me of the, uhh, episode of Saved by the Bell where they've got an elevator in the school.

'''MIKE:''' Yep.

'''MATT:''' ''{pause}'' They call it the pool. ''{pause}'' uhh, but they have had a pool, seemingly for a— for many years, Mike. All the way back to the Jumping Jack Contest.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Well, yeah, that's right. Uhh, Jumping Jack?

'''MATT:''' And it even had that red and white checkerboard, uhh, border on the top.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Look, he's got his t—tan he had— his farmer's tan that he had in, uhh, what is that, lures and jigs?

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Lures and jigs.

'''MATT:''' Look at that baby's stinky butt.

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

'''MATT:''' Aww. ''{laughs}'' Nebulon. ''{pause}'' What was that "House-Rousing", is that, like, a house falling apart? That's how you rouse a house.

'''RYAN:''' ''{pause}'' And it does look pretty hot, you guys, there.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, the color, the green's a little bit off from the usual green. It—it's saturated— It's saturated with sunlight. ''{pause}'' Remember hair turning green? As a blonde-haired youth, that was a big deal in the summertime.

'''MIKE:''' You had to watch out, makin' sure chlorine didn't turn your hair green.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Remember, what were those foam pad things that the, uhh, lifeguard would have?

'''MIKE:''' It was just this big, foam— it was a float, you know, a flotation device, but it was just this big chunk of foam.

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Wasn't gonna do much.

'''MIKE:''' No.

'''RYAN:''' Were they connected to it?

'''MIKE:''' Uhh... Lifeguards?

'''RYAN:''' I can picture them running, and it's like, it has a string on it, but, I dunno.

'''MIKE:''' Maybe. ''{pause}'' y'think— so, can Bubs not swim? He needs water wings?

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

'''MIKE:''' ''{pause}'' That's the best.

'''MATT:''' Look, nothing hap—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Oh no!

'''MATT:''' Lots happened, actually, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Ooh! ''{pause}'' isn't that actually the second time— the second time Strong Bad has fallen through his ceiling?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, when Pom Pom beat the crap out of him, he fell through it.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{pause}'' Uh-oh.

''{all laugh when Homestar crashes into Strong Bad}''

'''MIKE:''' Breaky-spiney.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I don't—

'''MIKE:''' We just kinda watched this one.

Reynold's Office

2009-06-10T13:58:40Z

GreenHelmet: clean up

[[Image:reynolds_office.png|thumb|"Are you here to bring me the slightest morsel?"]]
'''[[Reynold]]'s Office''' appeared in Parts [[2 Part Episode: Part 1|1]] and [[2 Part Episode: Part 2|2]] of
"2 Part Episode," in which it was used as a holding cell for [[Blue Laser Commander]]. It is located in the [[Cheat Commandos HQ]], and inside the room's left wall is the HQ's battery compartment. The room is colored gray and green, has a large, barred metal door, and features a toilet and sink, both of which leak some sort of green liquid. The inside of the battery cover has a crude drawing of Gunhaver, with his arms bent and his tongue sticking out. When Gunhaver broke in, he was in the exact same position. For unknown reasons, Reynold is often trapped in here, and apparently deprived of food. Over the course of [[2 Part Episode: Part 1]], Reynold and Blue Laser Commander were kept in the office for at least three months.

==Doppel or Toppel==
The transcript uses the actual word doppelganger, while the inside reference is to the Toppelgangers. Is the transcript wromg? -[[Special:Contributions/173.3.112.55|173.3.112.55]] 13:50, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
:I thought it sounded like "toppleganger" when I was transcribing it, but I'd forgotten about [[The Topplegangers]], so I figured I was just mishearing. But I wasn't, Toppleganger is right, and I've already fixed the transcript as soon as I saw the inside ref. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:57, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== Get back to work, guys. ==

I think Reynolds brother says "Get back to work, Charles." and don't we already know that Charles is Gunhaver's first name from [[let us give tanks]]? [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 14:06, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

: I've listened to it several times, and I believe this is true. I'm gonna change it. It also makes makes sense since Crackotage and Silent Rip are actually working [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 14:10, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
:: Sounds reasonable to me. Listening again, I hear "Charles" too. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 14:13, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== white screen ==

<blockquote>A decompiler, a Flash Seek Bookmarklet, or the Greasemonkey script reveals a white screen before the TV Easter egg can be accessed.</blockquote>

I removed this from the ''Easter Eggs'' section, because that's certainly not the right place for it. I considered placing it elsewhere on the page, but decided not to because it doesn't seem that notable. The [[HRWiki:Standards]] as I interpret them, seems we don't mention such things unless they are clearly meant to be discovered and/or add something relevant to the cartoon (E.g. [[:Image:Dodongo.png|"Nice try, dodongo"]] and [[:Image:By strong bab age 5.PNG|—by Strong Bab]]). Just thought I'd mention my rationale here, if others feel that it really deserves a mention in the article, I don't have a strong opinion against that. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 19:56, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

:Definitely notable, but seemingly unintentional. Seems like a goof or a remark to me. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:21, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== Doorbell ==

Does anyone know the name of the "ditty" that the doorbell plays? I know that it is commonly used to depict a ringing doorbell, but I don't want to add it to the real-world references section without knowing the name. [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 21:50, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== With a vengeance ==

The credits say this show was "written with a vengeance by A.Chimendez". We already know he and Crack Stuntman have creative differences and that Gunhaver was nearly written off the show because of it. Now, in this episode, Gunhaver is fired. Am I on to something?

*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admiral Admiral] is the highest rank in a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navy naval force], which makes it interesting that Flashfight takes charge of the Cheat Commandos, considering they're mostly ground-based forces.

Is this worth pointing out somewhere? --[[User:President Cold One|President Cold One]] 09:28, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

: For shore (please don't make fun of that pun). --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 10:40, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

::All of the contents of this cartoon suggest that the Cheat Commandos are administered by BE(E)FF, which is probably an international organization. The fact that Admiral Flashfight and Fightgar both seem to be British and Ripberger has an accent would jive with this, too. And, such an international organization could involve a collaboration among various armed services (Flashfight coming from a Navy, Crackotage coming from an Air Force?). Meh? [[User:Durniel|Durniel]] 06:55, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

== 3 for 1 ==

The Cheat Commandos ththeme song goes "Cheat Commandos, maybe fighting for freedom, and each is sold separately. Cheat Commandos, they're probably battling evil. Buy all our playsets and toys!"
Is it notable that Green Helmts are 3-for-11, but their theme song says "each is sold separately." [[User:TheFunmachine|TheFunmachine]] 11:28, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
:I think it's notable that although the Green Helmets are part of a "discount three pack", they cost the same as any other CCdo. Although, come to think of it, three for the price of one is a bargain. {{User:Neox/sig}} 16:24, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Opps! Sorry. I meant 3 for 1, as in them not being sold separately, where the theme song says "each is sold separately" However, but they're Green Helmets, so maybe they're not like the rest. [[User:TheFunmachine|TheFunmachine]] 11:33, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

== Section? ==

I honestly don't know what section this one belongs in, but...
During the scene where Gunhaver, Silent Rip, and Crackotage are talking outside the headquarters, Gunhaver's face can be seen painted on the door, along with a word bubble reading, "Rock, rock on!"
... Actually, is this even notable enough to be put in?

: Meaning the fan stuff thing? Granted there are three of them in that, too, but I think this is more likely just a reference to practice of melting action figures like G. I. Joes. Probably not a deliberate connection. [[User:Durniel|Durniel]] 19:12, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
:: I think is's a reference to [[8-Bit is Enough]] where Strong Bad comments that he thinks the Topplegangers would be "Real Melty". [[User:VmKid|VmKid]] 02:16, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

== Oh yeah! Them. ==

I beleive the way Crackotage goes into great detail about the Topplegangers refers to the way many cartoons introduce recurring characters to new audiences or to make a new character(s) seem old: way drawn out and pointlessly explanatory. Example:

*'''Itchy''' : Hey look Scratchy, its our old friend, Poochy!

*'''Scratchy''': What's his name? I forgot.

*'''Poochie''': {does a rap about himself}

:Well, exposition has to happen to some degree in ''all'' fiction, and there are only so many ways to do it. I don't see how this case is a reference to any other instance of it. It doesn't really even seem to be poking fun at the sometimes-ridiculous expository dumps that happen pretty often in serial cartoons / sitcoms / etc. It's just TBC using a little humorous dialog as a way of legitimately needed exposition for us, much the same way any other fiction would. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 23:36, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Did anyone else notice how at the end of the toon, Crackotage doesn't even pretend to rhyme?

[[Image:StrongBad Ozone.PNG|thumb|150px|"No, I'm Carmen freakin' Mir—no, wait. I'm Ozone. From ''Breakin'''."]]

During [[Halloween]], the [[Characters#Main characters|characters]] dress up in [[Halloween Costumes|costumes]], in which they often go [[Wikipedia:Trick or Treating|trick or treating]]. Many of these costumes are icons or celebrities from the 1970s, '80s, and '90s, leaving most of the other characters unable to identify '''who a particular character is supposed to be dressed as'''.

This is put quite frankly by [[The King of Town]] in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], in which he says, "I wish you'd dress up as something I could recognize! Pop culture... mumble grumble!"

== Occurrences ==
===[[Sketchbook (museum)]]===
*The last [[:Image:Sketchbook Thirteen.PNG|image]] offered ten dollars to anyone who can identify all of the costumes. They have all since been identified.

===[[Homestarloween Party]]===
*[[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] thought [[Strong Bad]] was the [[Wikipedia:Chiquita Brands International|Chiquita Banana]] Lady, when Strong Bad was really [[Wikipedia:Carmen Miranda|Carmen Miranda]] (although the Chiquita Banana Lady's appearance was intentionally based on Miranda's).

===[[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]]===
*Homestar thought that Strong Bad was the [[Wikipedia:The Spanish Inquisition (Monty Python)|Spanish Inquisition]], and it is implied that he thought Strong Bad was [[Wikipedia:Cab Calloway|Cab Calloway]] and Strong Bad Wearing a Yellow Turtleneck, when Strong Bad was really [[Wikipedia:Carmen Sandiego|Carmen Sandiego]].

===[[Pumpkin Carve-nival]]===
*[[Marzipan]] doesn't know that [[The King of Town]] is [[Mario]] from the long-running, well-known [[Wikipedia:Mario (series)|video game series]] by [[Nintendo]]. This could be so because she insists that she doesn't play video games, as said in the same toon.
*Strong Bad, who was in a Homestar Runner costume, said that he thought [[The Goblin]] (in a Strong Bad costume) was the [[Wikipedia:The Green Hornet|Green Hornet]]. Strong Bad then thought that The Goblin was a [[Witches' Brew]], while he was actually [[Bees|The Bee]].
*Homestar thought [[The Cheat]] was [[Witches' Brew]] when The Cheat was [[Wikipedia:Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids#Characters|Russell]].

===[[3 Times Halloween Funjob]]===
*Homestar thought Strong Bad was [[Wikipedia:El DeBarge|El Debarge]], [[Bubs]] thought he was [[Wikipedia:Gloria Estefan|Miami Sound Machine]], [[Coach Z]] thought he was [[Wikipedia:Sananda Maitreya|Terence Trent D'Arby]], and he himself almost said that he was Carmen Miranda again, while he was actually Ozone from ''[[Wikipedia:Breakin'|Breakin']]''.
*Homestar thought Coach Z was [[Wikipedia:Wesley Snipes|Wesley Snakes]], when in fact he was [[Wikipedia:Kool Moe Dee|Kool Moe Dee]] from The [[Wikipedia:Treacherous Three|Treacherous Three]].
*Homestar couldn't identify what Bubs's costume was, calling it a "dirty man outfit", when Bubs was dressed as [[Wikipedia:Mel Sharples|Mel Sharples]], the owner of Mel's Diner in the movie ''[[Wikipedia:Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore|Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore]]'' and the TV show it spawned, ''[[Wikipedia:Alice (TV series)|Alice]]''. [[Wikipedia:Vic Tayback|Vic Tayback]] played the role.

===[[Halloween Fairstival]]===
*Strong Bad asked Bubs, "So, Bubs, your approach this year was to ensure that absolutely no one recognized your costume?" Bubs was dressed as One of the 3 Most Important People in the World, from [[Wikipedia:Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure|''Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure'']].
*Homestar was confused about his own costume. He thought that he was some sort of a golf cart. He was actually Carl Spackler from [[Wikipedia:Caddyshack|''Caddyshack'']].
*Homestar thought The Cheat was a pile of leaves. The Cheat was actually Sigmund, from [[Wikipedia:Sigmund and the Sea Monsters|''Sigmund and the Sea Monsters'']].
*Coach Z thought that Pom Pom was [[Wikipedia:Big Boi|Big Boi]] from [[Wikipedia:OutKast|OutKast]]. Pom Pom was actually ''Big Boy'', the mascot for the restaurant chain [[Wikipedia:Bob's Big Boy|"Bob's Big Boy"]].

===[[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]]===
*Homestar, seeing Strong Sad's [[Wikipedia:Devo|Devo]] member costume, comments on it, saying, "Nice fire hydrant costume."
*Homestar thought that Strong Bad was [[Wikipedia:Blanche Devereaux|Blanche]] from [[Wikipedia:The Golden Girls|The Golden Girls]]. Bubs thought that he was [[Wikipedia:Phyllis Diller|Phyllis Diller]]. Coach Z thought he was supposed to be his hot mom. The King of Town couldn't recognize his costume at all. Strong Bad was dressed as Jambi the genie, from ''[[Wikipedia:Pee-wee's Playhouse|Pee-Wee's Playhouse]]''.
*Homestar also thought that Bubs was [[Wikipedia:Lando Calrissian|Lando Calrissian]]. He was actually the master of disaster, Apollo Creed from ''[[Wikipedia:Rocky|Rocky]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Rocky II|Rocky II]]''.
*Strong Bad thought that Pom Pom's costume, which was of Walter Sobchak from ''[[The Big Lebowski]]'', was of "every guy at a truck stop."

===[[Happy Hallow-day]]===

*Homestar remarked to Marzipan that he likes her "I have a caterpillar crawling across my forehead" costume. Marzipan was dressed up as [[wikipedia:Frida Kahlo|Frida Kahlo]].
*When Homestar sees Strong Bad's [[wikipedia:Father Guido Sarducci|Father Guido Sarducci]] costume, he thinks that it is an evil [[wikipedia:Carmen Sandiego|Carmen Sandiego]] costume. Incidentally, Strong Bad ''did'' dress up as Carmen Sandiego [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats|five years earlier]].
*Strong Bad teases Strong Sad asking him if his costume was Strong Sad at his 20-year high school reunion. Strong Sad was actually [[wikipedia:Tony Clifton|Tony Clifton]].

===[[Decemberween Short Shorts]]===
* The Homestar ornament thinks that the Strong Bad ornament is dressed up as a [[Wikipedia:Rhinestone Cowboy|rhinestone cowboy]]. However, it isn't even Halloween.

===[[Jibblies 2]]===
*Homestar mistakes Bubs for Schnieder from ''[[Wikipedia:One Day at a Time|One Day at a Time]],'' The King of Town mistakes him for Monroe from ''[[Wikipedia:Too Close for Comfort|Too Close for Comfort]],'' and Marzipan can't figure out his costume at all. Bubs was really Ross from ''[[Wikipedia:You Can't Do That on Television|You Can't Do That on Television]].''
*Homestar mistakes The King of Town for a melted [[Wikipedia:Don King|Don King]]. The King was actually [[Wikipedia:Al Sharpton|Al Sharpton]].

===[[Fan Costumes '07]]===
*Homestar thinks one of the photos is a picture of Marzipan, when it is actually of someone dressed as [[The Yello Dello]].

===[[yes, wrestling]]===
*In an Easter egg, Homestar thinks Strong Bad (dressed as his "il Cartographer" wrestling persona) is dressed up as Rudy from ''[[Bill Cosby|Fat Albert]]''.

===[[Costume Commercial]]===
*In an Easter egg, Coach Z is dressed as Marzipan, but he thinks he is dressed as himself.

===[[Most in the Graveyard]]===
*Homestar confuses his own costume for [[Wikipedia:Carrot Top|Carrot Top]], then turns around and [[Homestar Runner and Homestar Runner's relationship|"corrects" himself]] as being [[Wikipedia:Crocodile Dundee|Crocodile Dundee]].

Gremlin

GreenHelmet: more relevant link

[[Image:Gremlinnormal.png|thumb|"And, the Goblin, he had a Gremlin!"...]]
[[Image:gremlin_homestarloween.png|thumb|..."I mean, he had some freakin' muscle!"]]

'''The Gremlin''' is a 1973 [[Wikipedia:AMC_Gremlin|AMC Gremlin]] that was first used during the flashlight story in [[Homestarloween Party]] as [[The Goblin]]'s car. During the story, [[Bubs]] claims that The Goblin "jacked it up on some fat tires, tuned it up on some 4.11 positrak outback 750 double pumper [[Wikipedia:Edelbrock|Edelbrock]] intake bore over 30 11-to-1 pop-up pistons turbo jets 390 horsepower", and even added a [[Wikipedia:flux capacitor|flux capacitor]] from the ''[[Back To The Future]]'' movies. It was then thrown offscreen by the [[Visor Robot]] but ended up relatively unscathed. After that cartoon, none of the customizations were ever seen again.

It appeared in [[Where's The Cheat?]] in which [[Strong Mad]] turned it over in his search for [[The Cheat]], only to find The Goblin. It was then again used in [[dangeresque 3|Dangeresque 1: Dangeresque, too?]] as [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]]'s car, despite its obvious inoperability. In [[Main Page 19]], the Gremlin appears when you mouse over the "[[Store]]" button. It also made an appearance in the [[Senorial Day]] holiday short, mostly to give [[Senor Cardgage]]'s commercial a hint of "car sales" flavor, despite the event having apparently nothing to do with selling cars per se. According to [[road trip]], the Gremlin has an eight-track player, and its windows and doors are broken so that they cannot be opened from the inside. From that cartoon it is hinted that the Gremlin might be in working condition, and the reason that Strong Bad is unable to drive it is that when he got the car, the keys were not included.

In the action packed credit sequence of [[rough copy]], it appears that Strong Bad has gotten the Gremlin to run. However, this may be confined only to action packed credit sequences. Bubs was seen behind the wheel of the Gremlin during an Easter egg in [[Blubb-O's Commercial]], but it was sans tires, and standing on four [[Cinder Block|cinder blocks]]. It also appears in [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]], but is referred to as simply "Cool Car" (or "hot car" in [[Baddest of the Bands]]). In [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]], it has an [[Robots|auto-pilot]].

Interestingly, the Gremlin [[Lack of Visible Arms|has no handles]] on its doors, meaning you would have to climb through the window. This does not prevent [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] from being able to open it.

'''Page Title:''' Please to be committing, comrade!

==Transcript==
''{Title card: 79 seconds left! Music plays softly in the background}''

''{Cut to The Field. Homestar Runner and Strong Sad are sitting with their knees up. A glass of water is sitting next to Strong Sad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I say, just go for it, you know. You just move forward, commit to yourself, ''{Strong Sad nods}'' and go, for, it!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay, I think I'll take a chance.

''{Strong Sad pours some of the water onto his knee.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' It tickles!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You see? That's what I'm talking about, man. ''{closeup of Homestar}'' Water, on, the knee. Commit to it!

''{record scratch sound; music stops}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Your pathetic ''{cut back to wider shot, with Strong Bad now visible standing on a wooden chair}'' conversation ''pales'' in comparison to the one you are about to be a part of.

''{close up of Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{sarcastically}'' Oh great, I can't wait.

''{close up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I've finally committed to it. I've talked about it for years, but I'm finally moving forward! ''{zip pan to a low shot of Strong Bad with a yellow background}'' You're all going to have to start calling me "The Ledge" from now on!

''{Cut back to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hi, The Ledge From Now On. Would you like to join our wet knee gumption club?

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, just "The Ledge".

''{wider shot of all three}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' The Ledge? Like ledge of a cliff?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You mean, like, short for leg?

''{close up of Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' A-''lleged'' ladies' man?

''{close up of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{annoyed}'' Short for leg?

''{shot of all three}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, you knee-wetters! Like short ''{Cut to frontal shot of Strong Bad}'' for "The Legend"! As in, I am one! A living one! A dary one!

''{shot of all three}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, dairy. Like cows. Like a cow leg.

''{close up of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{excited and quivering}'' Oh, Strong Bad! It's like my cow lamp and your tape leg ''{picture of the [[cow lamp]] and Strong Bad's dismembered leg wrapped in tape appear over Homestar's head}'' had a baby in my brain ''{the cow lamp and tape leg merge and go into Homestar's head}'' and just came out my mouth! ''{cloud marked "Cow Leg" comes out of Homestar's mouth, Homestar leans toward it}'' There, there, little guy. Daddy's here.

''{shot of all three; Strong Bad sits down in the chair}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reluctantly}'' Ugh, hand me that knee water... ''{Homestar hands the glass to Strong Bad}''

''{Title card: Just 3 to go...} {The sound of water being poured can be heard in the background}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Teehee, it does tic—

''{Title card: None seconds left.}''

''{Title card: end.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on "e" in end to see Strong Bad write his new title on a composition book.
*:'''STRONG BAD:''' This book belongs to: ''{He starts writing on the note area of the cover. A fanfare plays.}'' The Ledge. ''{He spells "Ledge" as "LEG". A record scratches and the fanfare stops.}'' Aw, crap! Homestar was right! This just spells leg!
*Click on the period to see a poster for the Water on the Knee club. It has a cartoony picture of a knee with water being poured on it, with the caption "COMMIT TO IT!!". Text below the picture reads "Water on the Knee", "Paid for by the Wet Knee Gumption Club".
**Click again to see a Russian version of the poster. The cartoon is much more angular, and is colored only in red and shades of grey. The caption now reads "ПередаЙТе  ЭТО!!". The text below the picture is the same, but in a different font.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[http://orthopedics.about.com/od/hipknee/f/swelling.htm Water on the knee] is a medical condition where excess fluid collects in the knee joint.
* The (grammatically incorrect) [[Russia|Russian]] phrase "Передайте Это!!" ("Peredajte Èto!!") on the second poster translates in English to "Transmit This!!" The correct phrasing is "Поручите к ему!!" (Poruchite k emu!!)

=== Remarks ===
*The [[audio quality]] is higher than usual here.
*Ignoring the Loading screen, there are, indeed, almost exactly 79 seconds between the beginning and the appearance of the "none seconds left" card. However, there are closer to two seconds from when the "Just 3 to go" card appears and when the "none seconds left" card appears.
*This is the first toon to list the time only in seconds on the menu when it goes over the one minute mark.
*Homestar sits down fully on the ground. He does not seem to have a bottom, as his legs bend up into his shirt, as in [[flashback]] and [[extra plug]].
*The description on the [[Shorts]] menu originally read "'''Homestar''' and Strong Sad run outta time" while the [[New Stuff]] menu read "'''HSR''' and Strong Sad run outta time." This was later changed so both read "HSR".

=== Goofs ===
* Even after being poured on Strong Sad and Strong Bad's knees, the water level in the glass never goes down.

=== Inside References ===
*Strong Sad and Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|both]] [[Strong Sad Smiling|smile]] when they pour the water on their knees.
*Homestar compares his revelation to [[Tape-leg|tape-leg]] and the [[cow lamp]] having a [[Babies|baby]] in his [[brain]].
** The image of the tape-leg itself comes from [[personal favorites]].
*Homestar calls himself the "cow leg's" [[Parents|daddy]].
*"The Ledge" uses an [[integral article]].
*Homestar previously confused the pronunciation of a spoken word based on its written spelling in [[car]].

GreenHelmet: no real point to the second sub-heading: Tux is explicitly a Linux mascot, and Ubuntu, (while it does contain components that aren't strictly Linux), is primarily a Linux distro.

DOS

GreenHelmet: see also, Linux

[[Image:Operating_System.png|thumb|250px|A DOS based computer if ever there was one]]

It is somewhat of a running gag in [[Strong Bad Email]] that [[Strong Bad]]'s computer runs on the '''[[Wikipedia:DOS|DOS]] operating system'''. Every new computer that Strong Bad purchases has DOS preinstalled as the operating system, and also has the program "strongbad_email.exe". On the [[Compy 386]], this command was stored in an unnamed drive that was accessed by the command "dir/p". The fact that Strong Bad always uses DOS may have something to do with his preference for [[Strong Bad's Technology|old technology]].

Note that while Strong Bad's operating system is definitely inspired by DOS, it can't be DOS itself because it has an 8 character filename limit. Strong Bad, however, is able to type commands as long as "strongbad_email.exe", which is obviously longer than that. He is also able to insert normally off-limits characters in a file name such as "'" or the space character in the file "strongbad's email.exe". If this filename were typed in a DOS based command-line, the computer would return that "strongbad's" is not a command.

:I agree, transcript annotations should be matter-of-fact descriptions, and not interpret the scene so much. I made some changes to that effect.

== Transcript ==

''{The title "Homestar vs. Little Girl" appears. Scene opens to reveal Puppet Homestar with Little Girl. Homestar wears a Santa hat. Throughout the cartoon the action often cuts, as if it's been pieced together from selected pieces of a longer video.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What do you want for Decemberween?

'''LITTLE GIRL:''' I want ''{pauses}'' a special! ''{throws her arms into the air}''

''{Homestar misunderstands Little Girl's response.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{befuddled}'' A space show?

''{Cut to the little girl waving her hands around excitedly. A Christmas tree is now partially visible in the background and Homestar is missing his hat.}''

'''LITTLE GIRL:''' Geet geet geet geet geet geet geet geet.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{waving back and forth}'' Geet geet geet geet geet geet geet geet.

''{Cut to Homestar's Santa hat sitting crooked on his head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, did you want to fix my hat?

'''LITTLE GIRL:''' Okay.

''{Little Girl attempts to fix the hat with limited success.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow, my eyes! ''{Mike (off camera) laughs slightly.}''

'''LITTLE GIRL:''' That's okay.

''{Cut and Homestar's hat is somewhat fixed.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What would you like for Decemberween?

''{Slight cut.}''

'''LITTLE GIRL:''' DVD.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' DVD?

'''LITTLE GIRL:''' Do—do you like all these DVDs? ''{she makes an 'all encompassing' gesture with her hands}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I love every DVD that was ever made.

'''LITTLE GIRL:''' What kind of DVD do you like?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I like... space show DVDs best.

''{Cut.}''

'''LITTLE GIRL:''' Going to get lots and lots of presents!

''{Homestar misunderstands Little Girl again.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Lots of breakfasts. What type of breakfast do you have?

''{Cut.}''

'''LITTLE GIRL:''' ''{half singing}'' Some jelly, and peanut butter.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' Jelly, and peanut butter. Jelly, and peanut butter. ''{his hat begins to slip off his head}'' Here goes my hat.

''{Cut.}''

'''LITTLE GIRL:''' ''{laughing}'' That sounds like funny.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Chuckles slightly}'' It sounds like funny, but it's not.

==Fun Facts==
*This video is an Easter egg on the [[Decemberween In July]] Menu. To get to it, click on the green light at the top of the screen, directly above the "w" in "Decemberween".
*"Jelly, and peanut butter" might come from a song that small children sing, which goes "Peanut butter, and jelly".
*Homestar mentions "space shows", which is the name of one of tapes from the Easter egg in [[12:00]].
*The little girl keeps looking down when Homestar talks because she may be looking at [[Matt Chapman]], who is controlling and voicing the puppet.
*The [[audio quality]] is a bit higher and more crisp than usual.

==DVD Version==
*When the short comes to an end, there is an "End!" card displayed.

GreenHelmet: untag, page was redirected

==Keep?==

Two appearances do not a running gag make, and it's certainly not "always" said as stated in the current intro. With no obvious redirects, I say '''DELETEHEAD!!!''' --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:11, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
:To quote my colleague Jay here, '''DELETE IT!''' {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 23:14, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

don't delete. nobody's made a article about Strong Sad's motto. is there? {{unsigned|Deesejaiman}}
:The question is not whether there is a page. There's not. The question is: ''should'' there be a page? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:15, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
i kinda thing there should be. ~~Jaiman~~

maybe i just need more practice. maybe we can just DELETE this page and make a new one. we can work 2gether on this. whos with me? give me five. *raises hand*
: Look, it's really nothing personal. We just have rules as to what sorts of things we make pages for. If Strong Sad said this in more than two toons, then maybe it'd be worth having a page. (After all, we have pages on the [[Seriously|catch phrases]] of [[Crap|other characters]].) But just two appearances? A reference, not a catch phrase. Sorry. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:25, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

i forgive u. im cool. but Strong Sad said it more than 2 times. i just didnt finish the list. (lol) thats why i added the STUB thing.
:Personally, I seem some merit in this page. It is not up to Wiki standards, but with a little cleanup, this can be a legitimate page. '''Weak Keep'''. {{User:Sbmaniac/sig}} 14:07, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
::Here's why I don't think this article should be kept; there's only three appearances. "[[Seriously]]" and "Holy [[Crap]]" have dozens of appearances all over the site, which is why they have their own articles. Strong Sad doesn't really have any catchphrases, just memorable quotes. If we keep this article, what's going to stop up from ending up with articles like [["That'll be five dollars!"]] or [["Looks like I'm gonna have to jump!"]]? I just don't feel that having a bunch of articles on random quotes will be of any use to the wiki, simply because there's not much that can be said about a specific line other than listing their appearances. Instead, at the very least, '''redirect to [[Catch Phrases]]''', which was created to document specific phrases like these that turn up every now and then. Things would work so much better that way. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 15:31, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
:::I really can't come up with a reason for it ''not'' to be a redirect, but how useful of a redirect would it be? I doubt many people would search for it. Still, it's definitely a workable solution. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:27, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Best/Worst X Ever

2009-06-07T03:00:47Z

GreenHelmet: /* Worst X Ever */ shouldn't go into detail, beyond documenting the occurrence covered by this article.

==הקדמה להומסטאר ראנר==
[[Image:thinginabag.png|thumb|left|מימין לשמאל: הומסטאר ראנר, הצ'יט, סטרונג באד וסטרונג מאד]]
[[Homestar Runner (body of work)|הומסטאר ראנר]] (לעיתים קרובות מקוצר ל"HR", "HSR", או "H*R") הוא ברובו סרטוני פלאש מונפשים המוצגים באתר [[HR:|homestarrunner.com]], הנוצר בשנת 1999 על ידיד [[The Brothers Chaps|מייק ומאט צ'אפמן]].

הסרטונים סובבים אחר הדמות הראשית [[Homestar Runner|הומסטאר ראנר]], אתלט טיפה אוויל, אך בעל לב טוב. הדמות [[Strong Bad|סטרונג באד]], למרות זאת, רוב הזמן יותר אהודה בקרב המעריצים, בעיקר בגלל העידכונים הכמעט שבועיים של [[Strong Bad Email|האימייל של סטרונג באד]], סרטונים קצרים בהם הוא עונה על אימיילים אמיתיים מהצופים. סטרונג באד עובד עם העוזר שלו [[The Cheat|הצ'יט]] ומשתמש באחיו הגדול [[Strong Mad|סטרונג מאד]] ככוח של הפעולות. ביחד, השלושה נטפלים לאח הקטן הדכאוני והמתבודד של סטרונג בד [[Strong Sad|סטרונג סאד]]. רבים מהדברים באתר, [[Music|שירים]], [[Games|משחקים]], [[Main Pages|עמודים ראשיים]]ת וכו', מבוססים על דברים מהאימיילים של סטרונג באד.

כמה דמויות אחרות ממלאות את ה[[Free Country USA|עולם]] החברה ההיפית של הומסטאר [[Marzipan|מרזיפן]], החבר הכי טוב שלו [[Pom Pom|פום פום]], המאמן שלהם [[Coach Z|המאמן זי]], בעל [[Bubs' Concession Stand|הקיוסק המקומי]] [[Bubs|באבס]], [[The King of Town|הקינג אוף טאון]] וה[[the Poopsmith|פופסמית']] שלו. האחרון בצוות הוא [[Homsar|הומסר]], דמות ה[[Analysis of Homsar's Speech Patterns|מדברת מוזר]] שנוצרה מ- (וצוחקת על) [[homsar| אימייל עם שגיאות כתיב שנשלח לסטרונג באד]].

חלק אהוד אחר באתר הוא ''[[Teen Girl Squad|טין גירל סקוואד]]'', קומיקס מצוייר גרוע מאת סטרונג באד. הקומיקס צוחק על בנות תיכון מוקצנות והמסע המוקצן לא פחות שלהן ליופי, פופולאריות ואהבה.

האתר, העשוי ברובו מאנימציית פלאש, מלא ב[[Easter egg|חלקים סודיים]]: אם איזור מסויים בדף נלחץ על ידי העכבר בזמן המתאים, סרטון נוסף או תמונה יופיעו. לדוגמה, באימייל של סטרונג באד [[studying]], הצופים יכולים לראות [[Bookazon.com|דף אינטרנט]] סמוי על הספר שסטרונג באד מזכיר. בנוסף, בסוף של האימייל [[vacation]], ניתן ללחוץ על אחת מחמש הגלויות כדי לשמוע מה שסטרונג באד חושב על [[Strong Bad's Vacation Spots|המקום שביקר]].

כמעט בכל יום שני, עידכון כלשהו, כגון סרטון קצר, סרטון ארוך, אימייל של סטרונג באד, משחק פלאש או מוצרים אמיתיים כמו תקליטורים או בובות, נוסף לאתר.

==כיצד לצפות בסרטונים עם כתוביות==
הדרך המומלצת לצפות בכתוביות היא להשתמש ב'''[[User:Phlip/Greasemonkey|סקריפט גריזמונקי הכל-באחד]]'''. תצתרך להתקין [http://www.mozilla/firefox/ פיירפוקס] ו[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/748 גריזמונקי] לשם כך. הסקריפט הזה יתן לך את האפשרות להציג כתוביות באופן אוטומאטי כאשר אתה צופה בסרטוני הומסטאר ראנר. בשביל הוראות התקנה לסקריפט, [[#הוראות שימוש בסקריפט גריזמונקי הכל-באחד|ראה מטה]].

==הקדמה להומסטאר ראנר==
[[Image:thinginabag.png|thumb|left|מימין לשמאל: הומסטאר ראנר, הצ'יט, סטרונג באד וסטרונג מאד]]
[[Homestar Runner (body of work)|הומסטאר ראנר]] (לעיתים קרובות מקוצר ל"HR", "HSR", או "H*R") הוא ברובו סרטוני פלאש מונפשים המוצגים באתר [[HR:|homestarrunner.com]], הנוצר בשנת 1999 על ידיד [[The Brothers Chaps|מייק ומאט צ'אפמן]].

הסרטונים סובבים אחר הדמות הראשית [[Homestar Runner|הומסטאר ראנר]], אתלט טיפה אוויל, אך בעל לב טוב. הדמות [[Strong Bad|סטרונג באד]], למרות זאת, רוב הזמן יותר אהודה בקרב המעריצים, בעיקר בגלל העידכונים הכמעט שבועיים של [[Strong Bad Email|האימייל של סטרונג באד]], סרטונים קצרים בהם הוא עונה על אימיילים אמיתיים מהצופים. סטרונג באד עובד עם העוזר שלו [[The Cheat|הצ'יט]] ומשתמש באחיו הגדול [[Strong Mad|סטרונג מאד]] ככוח של הפעולות. ביחד, השלושה נטפלים לאח הקטן הדכאוני והמתבודד של סטרונג בד [[Strong Sad|סטרונג סאד]]. רבים מהדברים באתר, [[Music|שירים]], [[Games|משחקים]], [[Main Pages|עמודים ראשיים]]ת וכו', מבוססים על דברים מהאימיילים של סטרונג באד.

כמה דמויות אחרות ממלאות את ה[[Free Country USA|עולם]] החברה ההיפית של הומסטאר [[Marzipan|מרזיפן]], החבר הכי טוב שלו [[Pom Pom|פום פום]], המאמן שלהם [[Coach Z|המאמן זי]], בעל [[Bubs' Concession Stand|הקיוסק המקומי]] [[Bubs|באבס]], [[The King of Town|הקינג אוף טאון]] וה[[the Poopsmith|פופסמית']] שלו. האחרון בצוות הוא [[Homsar|הומסר]], דמות ה[[Analysis of Homsar's Speech Patterns|מדברת מוזר]] שנוצרה מ- (וצוחקת על) [[homsar| אימייל עם שגיאות כתיב שנשלח לסטרונג באד]].

חלק אהוד אחר באתר הוא ''[[Teen Girl Squad|טין גירל סקוואד]]'', קומיקס מצוייר גרוע מאת סטרונג באד. הקומיקס צוחק על בנות תיכון מוקצנות והמסע המוקצן לא פחות שלהן ליופי, פופולאריות ואהבה.

האתר, העשוי ברובו מאנימציית פלאש, מלא ב[[Easter egg|חלקים סודיים]]: אם איזור מסויים בדף נלחץ על ידי העכבר בזמן המתאים, סרטון נוסף או תמונה יופיעו. לדוגמה, באימייל של סטרונג באד [[studying]], הצופים יכולים לראות [[Bookazon.com|דף אינטרנט]] סמוי על הספר שסטרונג באד מזכיר. בנוסף, בסוף של האימייל [[vacation]], ניתן ללחוץ על אחת מחמש הגלויות כדי לשמוע מה שסטרונג באד חושב על [[Strong Bad's Vacation Spots|המקום שביקר]].

== Variations ==
Sometimes [[The Brothers Chaps]] recreate the entire cast of the website in an alternate style. This section is for tracking and organizing all of the variations of the main characters.

There are also complicated narrative modes on the site. Strong Bad often answers "What If" questions in his emails, which leads to minor variations on normal characters. Anything created by The Cheat has a very rudimentary flash style. Puppets are sometimes used in lieu of animation. The 100th Strong Bad Email deliberately uses an animation style which matches some of the earliest work of the Brothers Chaps.

=== [[Old-Timey]] ===

== Artwork ==
See artwork at [[strongbad_email.exe DVD Artwork]].

== Easter Eggs ==
*Most of the emails have three kinds of secrets:
**Audio commentary: Accessible by pressing the "Language" or "Audio" button. Not all emails have them.
**Secret "angle": Accessible by pressing the "Angle" button. Usually used to display the short pop-ups that can appear when you click on different things ''during'' the emails.
**Secret menu options: Once the email is over, you can press down from "Next" to find a hidden menu option—a little icon that looks like Strong Bad's head. (You typically have to press down several times to find the hidden icon.) Sometimes there are secret options hidden under "Again," "Main," or "Next," and sometimes you have to browse around (left/right) from other hidden options to find them all. All Easter eggs are listed in the "DVD Version" sections of the [[Strong Bad Email]] articles.
*Each menu has a secret Easter egg viewable after a short period of time.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*.exe is a file extension meaning "executable." An executable file contains code for a program and "executes" in an operating system. .exe files are used in [[Wikipedia:Disk Operating System|DOS]] (e.g., "Peasants_Quest.exe" ran the [[Peasant's Quest]] program) and Microsoft Windows, but not on a Macintosh computer (which [[The Cheat]] uses). Specifically, "strongbad_email.exe" is what Strong Bad types on his computer to begin nearly every email, except for [[secret identity]] (in which he types in strongbad_email.wad), those on the [[Tandy 400]], in which he types run "strongbad's_email", [[anything]] (where Homestar types in sb_enail.com), [[mile]] (where PbTC Strong Bad types in run strongbad_email.exe), [[weird dream]] (no program was typed in), and [[the bird]] (again, no program typed in).

===Trivia===
*This is [[The Brothers Chaps]]'s 3D [[wikipedia:Computer-generated_imagery|CGI]] debut.
*When the DVD set was first released, it was in such high demand that the online [[store]] quickly ran out.

== Biography ==
'''Homestar Runner''' (middle name being [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig#Transcript|Michael]] and/or [[time capsule#Commentary Transcript|Hal]]) is the star of his namesake website. He is mainly colored white, with black comma-shaped eyes and a prominent [[Wikipedia:Prognathism|underbite]]. Usually, he wears a [[#Homestar's Clothing|red shirt with a white star]] and a [[#Homestar Runner's Hat|blue beanie with a red brim and a white spinner]]. His legs are quite long in relation to the rest of his body. 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. According to the toon [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], he weighs about one hundred pounds.

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 (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. He frequently uses two-syllable exclamations, like [[montage|"Hi-Ya!"]], [[radio|"Highball!"]], and [[Homestar Presents: Presents|"Ahct-poo!"]]. Also, Homestar has the strange habit of flicking his head in the opposite direction while talking.

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]] and the supreme overlord of [[Broternal Order of Different Helmets]] in [[Ever and More!]]. 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]]). Homestar has also shown an incredible ability to sleep, which has been known to get him into trouble. The most extreme example of this oversleeping is the toon [[Weclome Back]], where he slept through June, and possibly the better half of May as well. He also tends to "borrow" things from (and return things to) [[Strong Bad]], for example, [[Strong Bad's fondue pot]].

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's is his ability to be easily outsmarted at his own game, but still be completely oblivious and even happy. As Strong Bad put it in [[secret recipes]], "It's like, even when we win, he wins." It should also be noted that Homestar's psychology may account for his sleepwalking behavior, as exhibited in the Strong Bad Email [[nightlife]].

[[Image:Homestar 3d variation.PNG|thumb|140px|Homestar has a low polygon count.]]

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

Homestar has behaved indignantly at various times, often due to discussions of tender subjects, misunderstanding the topic at-hand or his general ignorance of the present situation. While in this state he acts single-mindedly, and in extreme instances violently. This side of his character, not often shown on the website, is often followed by his coming down into an upset and exhausted state, such as in [[Happy Fireworks]], when he refuses to acknowledge [[Marzipan]]'s absence, or in [[long pants]], when he adamantly rejects the suggestion that he doesn't wear long pants. In [[email thunder]], he claims that on this occasion he had accidentally taken some of Strong Sad's pills.

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 was paid for his work in the commercials with a lifetime supply of "[[Color flavored|Red Flavored]] [[Fluffy Puff Translucent Dessert Related Substance]]". 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, has sung several hit singles such as "[[Everybody Knows It]]", "[[Puppet Jam: Bad Jokes|Bad Jokes]]" and other jams with [[They Might Be Giants]], has revealed that he is considering a career in [[crying|male modeling]], and also has 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]], [[Bubs]], and [[Pom Pom]], appear to be the current law enforcement in [[Free Country, USA]], as seen in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] and [[road trip]]. 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". In the October 2007 special [[Jibblies 2]], he saves his friends by agreeing to stay inside the [[Horrible Painting]] for "eternity".

== Character Video Transcript ==
[[Image:CharacterVidHomestar.png|thumb|"Don't forget '{{#switch:{{#rand:1|3}}| 1 = moron | 2 = doofus | 3 = um... Lionel Ritchie}}'!"]]
''{'''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... "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'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]], Homestar's eyes seem to move 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]], [[action figure]], [[Eggs (toon)|Eggs toon]], [[Costume Commercial]], and [[Hremail 7]] he faces to 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.

*His puppet and his two figurines, on the other hand, have eyes stuck on one side of his head. Occasionally the other side of Puppet Homestar's face can be seen.
**[[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|200px|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]] (according to the DVD commentary) as well. 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 Clothing ==

[[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 times Homestar's star has been removed were 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", and [[hygiene]], when he takes it off and blows his nose in it as John. Clearly, the star is a mark of pride to Homestar Runner. In [[Hremail 62]], Homestar shows off some of his apparently older stars, which he calls "Homestars."

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. [[The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck In His Craw]] offered the alternative explanation that the star shirt somehow became stuck in his craw while he somersaulted around the world fifty times.

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. However, a Homestar costume is available in [[SBCG4AP]] as separate shirt, white pants, and white shoes with blue soles. He wore a gray version of his shirt in [[impression]] while doing a bad imitation of [[Strong Sad]]. In [[Costume Commercial]], Homestar is seen wearing pants when trick-or-treating as Bubs at Strong Bad's house.

In [[long pants]], Strong Bad claims that Homestar doesn't have shoes, but has blue soles glued to the bottom of his feet. Several times, however, this has been disproven, as in [[New Boots]] [[The Cheat]] [[Powered by The Cheat|animated]] Homestar's shoes being unambiguous objects. This was confirmed in [[Hremail 2000]], where he was shown holding his shoe, though the same hremail shows a close up of his foot with warts and hair, and no clear distinction between shoe and foot. He also has two larger shoe sizes; sizes 18 and [[Strong Mad]].

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]], when 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.

In [[Donut Unto Others]], it was revealed that Homestar and Marzipan have broken up at least 17 times, and that the 17th break-up had reached its 16th anniversary.

Portmanteaus

2009-06-06T13:57:17Z

GreenHelmet: consistent formatting

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

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

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