'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Email is the sound that we make when a young girl cries...

<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: space program</div>
Dear Strongbad,<br />
Does Strongbadia have a space program?<br />
Doo doo crap,<br />
Ryan<br />
Raleigh, NC
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "Da-da-da-da-" before "Dear," "Good jokes" instead of "Doo doo crap," "Ryan Raleigh" as one name, and "NC" as "Not Cool."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Who ''doesn't'' have a space program these days? I mean, don't, like, the Italians have a space program? Ours is called SBASAF ''{pronounced "space-aff"}''. The Strong Badian Administration of Some Aluminum Foil. ''{clears screen}'' The only problem is, ...

''{Fade to white; Strong Bad continues in voiceover.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...we blew our whole budget on this kick-awesome logo...

''{As he says this, the SBASAF logo appears—a rocket's path tracing the second S, and ending up in position as the first A.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...and on our orientation filmstrip.

''{Cut to a filmstrip frame of the SBASAF logo, with "2005 Strong Badian Administration of Some Aluminum Foil" at the bottom. The frame is initially out of focus, but becomes focused partway through the voiceover.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' SBASAF is a definitely-for-profit organization, dedicated to the manned taping of aluminum foil to cardboard. ''{beep sound}''

''{Another frame comes up - a stylized drawing of alien mountains in [[Outer Space|outer space]], with a [[The Moon|moon]] and a comet in the sky. A ten and five dollar note are visible, and a large arrow pointing beyond the mountains. The ten dollar bill has the text "TEN O' DEMS" along the top, the earth in the president's place and a circled "SB" for the seal. The five dollar bill is mostly obscured, but a sun and planet are visible on it.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' Our mission objective: to accompany 15 earth dollars on a round trip journey... ''{beep}''

''{Another frame: a drawing of a spaceship flying past a planet.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ...to the closest reaches of space. ''{beep}''

''{Another frame: two astronauts, one lying on a bench with weights, the other saying "Gimme '''ONE''' more!!"}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' While the muscular crew will age only a few hours, the cargo, according to our... ''{beep}''

''{Another frame: a portrait of Albert Einstein, saying "Hiya!"}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ...vague understanding of the theory of relativity, will have aged to an incredible... ''{beep}''

''{Another frame: three large gold bars in space, with the caption "THREE O' DEMS". The slide is initially above center, then is adjusted.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ...one million dollars. And who is good enough at video games... ''{no beep}''

''{Another frame: a photo of a TV screen with a joystick in front of it. On the screen is a typical 2-D one-on-one fighting game with "FIGHT!!!" written on it. The combatants are a hamburger and a ghost. The ghost has only 1/3 health.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ...to accept such a dangerous mission? Why, none other than beef bouillon-aire joyboy... ''{beep}''

''{Another frame: Strong Bad wearing a headband with small wings on it, with pants made of foil.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ...Space Captainface. First Lieuteneral Captainface knows the true key to success is... ''{no beep}''

''{Another frame: a girl smiling at the camera, with a polka-dot background.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ...to have as many hot '60s-looking girls in your filmstrips as possible. ''{no beep}''

''{Another frame: two more girls against a blue background with a wavy stripe.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' Yeah, girls! All right! ''{beep}''

''{Another frame: The Cheat wearing a blue cap and sunglasses, with the caption Harold "Strap" Coopmore.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' Hey, look! It's onboard mechanic Harold "Strap" Coopmore! Looks like he could use a grilled cheese sandwich. ''{no beep}''

''{Another frame: a photo of a grilled cheese sandwich, with the caption Item 3b: "Grilled Cheese". Different music plays for a little bit, then, with a record-scratching noise, the previous music resumes and another frame is cued: two men with flat-top haircuts and headsets in front of a computer terminal. They're wearing horn-rimmed glasses and short-sleeved dress shirts; one has a pocket protector and several pens.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' Flat-tops and shirt sleeves are the order of the day at SBASAF mission control. Why, Flight Engineer Ted Averill! You aren't smoking a smooth relaxing cigarette at all! ''{beep}''

''{Another frame: the same scene, but the man on the left is smoking.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' That's better. And somebody get that man a highball. ''{beep}''

''{Another frame: rows of spaceships.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' The flagship of SBASAF's 30-vessel fleet is the Proud Anselmo. ''{no beep}''

''{Another frame: Strong Bad in the same outfit, atop a spaceship labelled "PROUD ANSELMO". There is a beam of golden light spotlighting Strong Bad.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' A wonder of modern SBASAF-ery, the Proud Anselmo is constructed almost entirely out of cardboardium alloy. When blastoff day finally arrives, ''{no beep}''

''{Another frame: the '60s girls in silhouette with a large question mark.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ...will you be among the hot '60s-looking girls to wish strappin' Space Captainface a safe voyage? And if not... ''{beep}''

''{Another frame: a tearful hound dog with the caption "How Come?"}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ...how come?

''{Cut to Strong Badia. A close-up of Strong Bad wearing his Space Captainface costume in a cardboard box holding an Atari joystick. He and the box are trembling violently.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Argrgrgrgrgrgr! Got to... escape... Earth's... tenacity.... Fire the afterburners, Strap!

''{A wider shot shows that The Cheat is in a taller cardboard box duct-taped to Strong Bad's, and has a CD player. [[#Trivia|Various objects]] are duct-taped to the side of the box. We can now see Strong Mad's hand shaking the boxes.}''

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

''{The Cheat presses play on the CD Player, which plays a sci-fi flyby sound effect. Cut back to Strong Bad. The box lifts into the air temporarily and lands on the ground.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh... we made it. ''{the boxes continue shaking}'' Ahem. ''Oh, we made it.'' ''{the boxes stop shaking}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' Awww...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{holding a Speak & Spell}'' According to my ca-cuh-lations, our precious cargo should have already multiplied to about 50 bucks!

''{Strong Mad walks away behind the fence}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{holding up a CD labelled "SOUND F/X (not sounds from that movie F/X)"} {The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, right. We spent the precious cargo on that sound effect CD. Well, let me hear "Body falling down stairs".

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{agreeable-sounding The Cheat noises}'' ''{presses button on CD player}''

''{The sound effect of what sounds like a body falling down a staircase plays. Strong Bad moves his head with each thump. Homestar Runner rushes up with a sweater stuck over his head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You guys! You guys! I need help putting on this sweater!

'''STRONG BAD:''' A space myoot-ant from Satriani 5! Hit him with everything we got, Strap!

''{The Cheat pushes various buttons, and random laser sounds and explosions are played. After a pause, The Cheat throws the CD case at Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aah! I knew I should have asked the Italian space program. ''{hobbles off}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nice work, The Strap. Another sucessful mission for ''{music starts; singing}'' Space Captainface!

''{A piece of cardboard labelled SPACE CAPTAINFACE is lowered on a fishing hook above Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still singing}'' Pretender of the galaxies! He's all-the-ways having space cocktails with hot '60s-looking girls!

''{Cut to wide shot; we see that The Cheat is holding a fishing rod with the SPACE CAPTAINFACE logo hanging from it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{although the first few words are almost spoken, concludes singing an octave higher}'' Where are all the hot '60s-looking girls? ''{music stops}''

''{The King of Town enters from the left.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I'm in my 60s!

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end, click "S. CAPTAINFACE" on the boxflap to the side of Strong Bad to hear a log entry.
:''{Strong Bad is at the Lappy}''

:''{The slide of Item 3b: "Grilled Cheese" comes into frame from the bottom and stays a few seconds, accompanied by its music from the filmstrip.}''
*At the end, click the [[Tire]] to see Cadet Z at recruitment.
:''{The last two slides of the slideshow play again. Coach Z's arm enters frame from the bottom}''
:'''COACH Z:''' I was told I was gonna get to pee in a cup!
:''{Pull back to see Coach Z watching Strong Bad next to a projection screen}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' In due time, Cadet Z. In due time.
:'''COACH Z:''' Oh, doo time! Even better.

- rub sequence 00003 or 2
:On the side of the case is the text ''Sound F/X (not sounds from that movie F/X)''.

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}
===Explanations===
*The beeps in the filmstrip are common when a presenter is given a set of slides and a tape - so the presenter knows when to change the slides. Also, some combined tape player/projector models advance automatically upon detecting the beep.
*The "vague understanding of the theory of relativity" is a major misunderstanding of [[Wikipedia:Special relativity|Special relativity]], in particular the [[Wikipedia:twins paradox|twins paradox]].
*A [[Wikipedia:Sonar|Sonar]] ping is a method used to determine distance from one object to another, like two submarines. One will send out a low level "ping" that travels at a set speed through water, "bounces" off the other submarine, and is re-recieved by the first's sonar system. The amount of time this takes determines the distance.
**There is no Sonar "pong" - the reflection of the ping is called a return. The term "pong" is often incorrectly used due to confusion with the game [[Wikipedia:Ping Pong|Ping Pong]].
**You can hear an example of a Sonar ping near the end of [[dreamail]].
*SBASAF's "definitely-for-profit" status is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Non-profit organization|non-profit organizations]].
*Although it makes sense as constructed, Strong Bad's reference to "escap[ing]... Earth's... tenacity" appears to be a [[Wikipedia:Malapropism|malapropism]] for the phenomenon of [[Wikipedia:Escape velocity|escape velocity]].
*An [[Wikipedia:Alloy|alloy]] is a combination of two or more elements that includes at least two metals and has metallic properties. There is no such thing as a "cardboardium" alloy.
*A [http://m-w.com/dictionary/highball highball] is an iced drink containing liquor (as whiskey) and water or a carbonated beverage and served in a tall glass.

===Trivia===
*The various things and text adorning Strong Bad's spaceship are from left to right:
**[[Duct Tape]]
**A [[Van Buren]] bust
**An [[ABA basketball]]
**Used paper towel rolls
**An [[Atari 2600]] joystick
**The [[Strongbadia|Strongbadian]] national flag/emblem
**A/C ductwork
**''"the proud anselmo"''
**''1ST LTNRL. S. CAPTAINFACE''
**Aluminum foil
**Upside down ''THIS WAYS''
**''"STRAP" COOPMORE''
**An empty milk carton
*The person who sent this email is forum user [http://forum.hrwiki.org/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=2807 Ryansturmer]. Several parts of his [http://static.flickr.com/32/63362276_e72bcf6cc6_o_d.png email] were cut out. The original version was:
<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: Space Program</div>
Dear Strongbad,<br /><br />
Does Strongbadia have a space program? Certainly your terrestrial resources will be depleted at some point: What plans do you have for emergency migration to other worlds?<br /><br />
Crapfully DooDooCrap,<br /><br />

[[Image:Television Reflection.JPG|thumb|We see you!]]
*If you use a decompiler to get the original picture used on the video game scene, you can see the reflection in the screen, showing one of [[The Brothers Chaps]] taking the screenshot, with someone else in the background.
*This is the first time we learn of the [[King of Town|King of Town's]] age, as he claims that he is in his 60s.

===Remarks===
*As of this cartoon's release, only the [[Wikipedia:United States of America|USA]], [[Wikipedia:Russia|Russia]], and [[Wikipedia:China|China]] have [[Wikipedia:Human spaceflight|manned space programs]]. [[Wikipedia:Italy|Italy]] is a member of the [[Wikipedia:European Space Agency|European Space Agency]].
*Homestar's difficulty with his sweater's sleeves is ironic because he [[Lack of Visible Arms|has no visible arms]].
*In the old-fashioned video game shown on the TV, the player on the left is titled "Hamburger" even though it has a large layer of cheese in it which would technically make it a cheeseburger.
*The [[Tire]] wears a corded headset and is smoking a cigarette. Thus it appears to be the only acting member of Mission Control.
*"Track 03" is displayed on the CD player for the afterburner sound as well as for one of the laser sounds.

===Inside References===
*The soundtrack to the filmstrip is built around the theme that plays when you roll over Store and Downloads on [[Main Page 19]] (with much longer notes, and transposed from G to C).
*In [[Halloween Fairstival]], Coach Z uses a drippy towel in his attempt to scare the hiccups out The Cheat.

===Real-World References===
*The S. CAPTAINFACE log is similar to the ones that occur at the beginning of many [[Wikipedia:Star Trek: The Original Series|Star Trek]] episodes. The original Star Trek series also included philosophical musings on whether man belonged in space, which may be the sentiment interrupted by the grilled cheese sandwich slide.
* The narrator's comments about shirt-sleeves and flattops being the order of the day is a good description of late '60s early '70s [http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/mirrors/images/images/pao/AS11/10075291.jpg Mission Control].
*"The Proud Anselmo" is named for [[Wikipedia:Phil Anselmo|Phil Anselmo]].
*[[Wikipedia:Albert Einstein|Albert Einstein]] was a twentieth century theoretical physicist, most famous for his [[Wikipedia:Theory of relativity|theory of relativity]].
*[[Wikipedia:F/X|F/X]] is a movie from 1986 starring [[Wikipedia:Bryan Brown|Bryan Brown]] and [[Wikipedia:Brian Dennehy|Brian Dennehy]]. The movie is about a special effects technician who is hired by a government agency to help stage the assassination of a well-known gangster.
*The joystick next to the TV is the standard [[Wikipedia:Colecovision|Colecovision]] joypad, known as the "doorknob" due to the control stick's distinctive and somewhat uncomfortable shape.
*Strong Bad's "Space Captainface" costume includes a [[Wikipedia:petasus|petasus]], the winged hat that is characteristically worn by the Greek god [[Wikipedia:Hermes|Hermes]].
**Hermes is also known as [[Wikipedia:Mercury (mythology)|Mercury]], which was the name given to the first round of American manned space flights.
*Strong Bad checks his "ca-cuh-lations" on a [[Wikipedia:Speak & Spell (game)|Speak & Spell]]. This educational toy also formed part of the [[Grape-Nuts Robot]].

no one wants to read about a boring<br />
person, like Strong Sad, or anything<br />
like that.<br />
<br />
Dan, PA</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad temporarily stops and says "That's true!" after reading "everyone likes you anyway," and reads "Dan, PA" as "Dan from Pennsylvania"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait a minute... lemme check something... ''{runs spellchecka.exe, it says "0 spelling errors found!"}'' No way! ''{typing}'' No misspellings, a good idea, made fun of Strong Sad ... don't get me wrong, Dan, I mean, I wanna make fun of you but, uh, you've put together a solid email! ''{while saying this, he types "No misspellings + good idea + made fun of dumpus = SOLID!!"}'' I'm gonna print this thing out and save it for posterity. Maybe a little prosperity. ''{He runs print_of_it.exe and the email prints out via the paper. He tears it off and starts typing.}'' Well, Dan, you big, dumb moron. I've actually already begun work on my memoirs. It's a new books-on-tape series called "Words I Probably Said" by Strong Bad. ''{stops typing}'' Let's take a listen.

''{Cut to the booOOMbox, Strong Bad plays the tape that's in there}''

'''STRONG BAD ON TAPE:''' —and Reg had the ball at the top of the key, and I was all like, "I'm open! I'm open!" But somebody musta slipped him some drugs or something before the game because he didn't see me and he passed it to the Deke instead and the Deke SLAM-DUNKED IT! Oh, it was my greatest moment on the court! I was trying to high-five everyone in sight but there was a lot of commotion and excitement and...the Deke accidentally shoved me to the ground and called me a—

''{Strong Bad hits fast-forward)''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oop! We'll skip on ahead here.

''{Strong Bad lets go of the fast forward button, and the tape continues}''

'''STRONG BAD ON TAPE:''' —and she was a very, ''very'' special lady. And she loved me ''so much'' and had skinny blonde hair and was always hanging out at the beach, gazing at a photo of me... Too bad when she had to go to another planet for reasons too complex to elaborate on. I'll probably never see her again. And neither will any of you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That was a true part! Let's skip ahead again.

''{Strong Bad hits fast-forward again for a minute, then stops}''

'''STRONG BAD ON TAPE:''' —but the Cheat couldn't stop laughing and I didn't know what the big deal was until I saw the piece of paper...I just about lost it! ''{a piece of notebook paper is shown which is a poor attempt at a counterfeit $1,000 bill}'' Milk and cookies shot out of my nose! Oh! It was a great idea. And it just might work!

''{Strong Bad cuts in}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And it ''did'' work! All right, that's enough. You heard enough... of my secrets.

''{Strong Bad seats himself back in front of the Compy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, you get the picture. I mean it's gonna be great. People will listen to it when they go on roadtrips. Maybe play it on their Walkman when they go jogging in the park. I mean, I bet it'll make people wanna run faster because of how good it is. That thing could double as one of those weightloss tapes. ''{stops typing}'' Okay. Take it away, The Paper! Preeeeeeeeowwwww... Come on. Preeeeeeowwwwweeee. What's the d—?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Musta been a paper jam.

== Easter Eggs ==
*When you see Strong Bad's tapes come up, you can click on them to show the tapes inside. You can then click again to see the back of the box, mostly showing what Ike had to say.
<pre>Here's what they're
probably saying about
"Words I Probably Said"

"Hootie Hoo!"
-Ike Turner

"Hootie Hoo!"
-Ike Turner

"A nice, smooooth
drive."
-Ike Turner

"Hootie Hoo!"
-Tex Arcana</pre>
*When you hear Strong Bad talk about "[[The Deke|Deke]]," you can click on the speaker to see a Deke trading card.
*When the sketch of the Strong Brothers' big idea comes up, you can click on it to see further details.
*At the very end you can click on "weightloss tapes" to see how effective the tapes just might be!
:''{Cut to what appears to be a track in the field. Coach Z is standing nearby looking at a stopwatch, while The King of Town slowly jogs by wearing a jogging suit, headband, and a Walkman. We can faintly hear Strong Bad's voice from the tape in the background.}''
:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Keep movin'! Work off the weight! This is a new beginning for the KoT! Oof!
:'''COACH Z:''' This is a dark day for track and field.

== Fun Facts ==
===Remarks===
*Oddly enough, two of the three tapes in the box and the one in the player are all labeled tape one. The other is labeled Tape 3.
*"print_of_it.exe" is the first of Strong Bad programs other than "strongbad_email.exe" that incorporate an underscore.
*This is the first time in a real email where The Paper prints something other than the "email Strong Bad" message.
*The King of Town's tapeplayer says "Sports Use."
*At the end of the email, there is not an "a>" and the back link extends a considerable distance to the left of the word "back."

===Inside References===
*The girl with skinny blonde hair is possibly a reference to the song "Circles", which features a skinny blonde girl, and to [[theme party]] (which is where "Circles" originated).
*The radio that plays the autobiography looks like the radio Strong Bad is listening to at the pool in [[A Jumping Jack Contest|A Jumping Jack Contest.]]

===Real-World References===
*Strong Bad's intro ("This email is brought to you by a grant from The Cheat and the support of Viewers Like You") comes from the start of most [[Wikipedia:Public Broadcasting Service|Public Brodcasting Service (PBS)]] television programs.
*The only thing that was probably said that Ike didn't say (see [[autobiography#Easter Eggs|Easter Eggs]]) was by Tex Arcana. This is probably a play off the town of [[Wikipedia:Texarkana, Texas|Texarkana]], a town divided by the Texas/Arkansas border.
*[[Wikipedia:Ike Turner|Ike Turner]] was a bandleader for the sixties best known for his work with his wife, [[Wikipedia:Tina Turner|Tina Turner]].
*The tape Strong Bad presumably took out of the boom box to exchange with his autobiographical tape was put into the case. It's labeled "SHAQ-FU." "Shaq-Fu: Da Return" was an album release on Jive records in November of 1994 featuring [[Wikipedia:Shaquille O'Neal|Shaquille O'Neal]]. A single from this album was released with the [[Wikipedia:Sega Genesis|Sega Genesis]] [[Wikipedia:Shaq Fu|video game]] of the same name.
*The "Reg" who's "at the top of the key" is probably [[Wikipedia:Reggie Miller|Reggie Miller]], formerly of the [[Wikipedia:Indiana Pacers|Indiana Pacers]].

===Fast Forward===
*"Preeow" would be used again many times later as the onomatopoeia for The Paper's sound effect.

''{Cut to the Lappy. Gavin is crawling on the screen. The lights are out. Strong Bad is not present. The lights suddenly turn on and Gavin crawls away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Walks in}'' A little bit of email. Some you-and-me mail. ''{begins reading}''
<blockquote class="lappy email">

''{Reads "marc baroni AZ" as "macaroni from A to Z"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh! Alphabet macaroni! ''{typing}'' The get up noise? Oh wait, you mean The Geddup Noise. This guy!

''{Strong Bad gets up and sits down three times, making the noise each time}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Ahhh, what fun! But that's not even the real Geddup Noise. That's just his cousin, Chairscoot. ''{clears screen}'' No, the real Geddup noise split quite some time ago. Somewheres right around email 84, Ol' Geddy got all big overseas. And then the phone calls started coming in.

''{Cut to a close-up shot of Strong Bad. He is holding a phone.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{into phone}'' Hello? What? Yes, no, yes.

''{Zoom out to show that he's in his computer room. The text from email 84 ([[kids' book]]) is displayed on the screen of the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's for you. ''{tosses phone at stool}''

''{The Geddup Noise is heard. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And before I know it, every-freakin-body’s talkin about the Geddup Noise. ''{The Geddup Noise is heard over the last three words.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{annoyed}'' Way-o way-o? I’ll be in the basement!

''{The concession stand turns dark with only a yellow light shining from the top. Bubs slowly sinks into the basement.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Way-o! Waaaay-o!

''{Cut to the booOOM box, which holds a cassette tape labeled "Normal Bias"}''

'''BOOOOM BOX (STRONG BAD'S RADIO ANNOUNCER VOICE):''' Hang on to your panties, people. ''{fart noise}'' Uh oh, what’s up? ‘Cause we got The Geddup Noise ''{doing sound}'' all up in this piece! ''{Geddup Noise, followed by laughter}'' Oh, man, we got a live one here!

''{Cut to Strong Sad listening to the radio. He is wearing a black T-shirt that reads "This Is Not A The Geddup Noise T-Shirt".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, man. The Geddup Noise used to be cool.

''{Cut to the set of The Show with Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And as always, at center square, The Geddup Noise. ''{Pan to a wider shot. Nobody is seen standing next to him.}'' What do you say, Geddy? ''{The Geddup Noise is heard, followed by applause.}'' Now that is just special. But I’m afraid the correct answer was way-o, way-o .''{"WAY-O, WAY-O" appears on screen as Homestar says it. The "wrong answer" music plays.}'' But you will receive some fine parting gifts.

'''ANNOUNCER:''' That’s right, Kevin. The Geddup Noise will receive a year’s supply of our home game!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Even The Cheat was able to snag a piece of the Geddup Pie with his indie-tronic remix.

''{CD of "DJ Teh Cheat - The Geddup Noise" appears; scene switches to Club Technochocolate, where The Cheat is spinning his own record. Bubs and Pom Pom put their weight on it. The song includes The Geddup Noise played over and over.}''

'''SINGER:'''<br>
The Geddup Noooooise!<br>
The Geddup Noooise! (Geddup Geddup Geddup!)<br>
The Geddup Noooooise! (Geddup Geddup Geddup!)<br>
The Geddup Noooise!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And before long, a bunch of cheap knock-offs started popping up.

''{Cut to the King of Town, seated in a wooden chair at a table in his castle}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Hello, America! It’s the Standing Up Noise! ''{The "Standing Up Noise" logo appears, and the King of Town stands up; the chair makes a deep imitation Geddup Noise.}'' Boooo-ooo! ''{The King looks over to his right.}''

''{Cut to the Brothers Strongs' basement. Strong Bad is seated in a yellow chair}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to screen}'' And now, everybody's favorite style, the Git Outcha Seat Sound! ''{The Homsar walking sound accompanies the "Git Outcha Seat" logo}'' ''{Strong Bad gets up from a yellow seat and makes a low-pitched imitation Geddup Noise.}'' Isn’t that right, the Teach?

''{Strong Mad's left hand appears from behind the sofa. He has a blue sock on his hand with The Cheat-like features drawn on it.}''

'''THE TEACH (STRONG MAD):''' BLUE SOCK! BLUE SOCK!

''{Return to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing, sounding embarrassed}'' Heh heh. That was just not, nu-, anything. So after that, Geddy bought a house in the Coches and now he just snowboards all day. He still pops up here and there in the odd, or sometimes ''very'' odd celebrity endorsement.

''{Cut to a shot of [[Hamburger Shampoo]]. The Geddup Noise plays in the background.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Geddup Noise Approved!

''{Cut to Strong Sad watching the Hamburger Shampoo commercial. He is wearing a white T-shirt that reads "Corporate The Geddup Noise Still Sucks".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Frickin’ sell-out!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So I suppose that more than adequately answers your question, Shoshoni Macaroni.

''{Pan out to a medium shot. Homestar is kneeling to Strong Bad's right, holding a notepad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{to stool}'' Excuse me sir, could I trouble you for an autograph?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, you know that’s not even the original Geddup Noise. It’s his cousin...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I know, Chairscoot. He’s my generation’s Geddup Noise! Uh, could you make it out to ''Lou Dobbs''?

'''STRONG BAD:''' That’s it, I’m outta here. ''{Walks offscreen to stage right, making the Chairscoot Noise}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah! There it is! It’s positively dreamy! ''{little hearts float up out of Homestar's head and pop like bubbles}'' Ohhhh! ''{Homestar faints. He knocks the stool which makes the chairscoot noise one more time.}''

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

*Click on the stool to see additional footage of The Cheat's ambient mix in Club Technochocolate.
:''{Cut back to The Cheat, Pom Pom and Bubs dancing at Club Technochocolate. Coach Z enters and dances across the room. Then Strong Mad's sock puppet appears up front for a bit and lipsyncs the words "geddup geddup geddup", then disappears and reappears to the left where it lipsyncs again, and then goes back up front, where it lipsyncs one more time and then "dances" to the music.

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}

===Explanations===
*The lights are off and [[Gavin]] is shown on the Lappy because it had been 7 weeks since the previous Strong Bad Email.

===Trivia===
* Not counting [[anything]], where Strong Bad didn't appear, this is the first Strong Bad Email to have a character other than Strong Bad appearing first.
*"The Teach" is an [[Wikipedia:Anagram|anagram]] of "[[The Cheat]]".

===Remarks===
* Clicking on [[Gavin]] at the beginning of the email still makes the [[Lappy 486]] respond with the ripple effect, as if you were clicking directly on the screen.
* Marc's question is odd because the Geddup Noise appeared in three of the five previous emails ([[boring (really)]], [[record book]], and [[lady...ing]]).
*A get up noise like that is not even possible on carpet. Strong Bad's stool makes a noise as if it were scraping against tile or hardwood floor.
**[[The Brothers Chaps]] have mentioned this in commentaries.
**The noise seems to exist as an entity unto itself. It sounds without the stool even moving when Strong Bad throws over the phone, not to mention its sounding in the studio of [[The Show]].
*Strong Bad says the "get up noise" is correctly the "geddup noise", even though at the end of [[the bet]] he calls it the "get up noise".
*Strong Bad would have to have looked up the email at which the Geddup noise got his phone call, because he lost count of emails at [[website|#51]] until he was notified in [[flashback]].
*[[radio]] and [[anything]] are the only other times that Strong Sad has worn a shirt.

===Goofs===
*When the close-up of the Disconnected Phone is shown, there is no cord extending from it. The cord is only visible when Strong Bad throws the phone on the floor.
*When Gavin walks off the computer, he goes straight down, even though the laptop is at an angle.
*When Strong Bad is repeatedly getting up and sitting back down again, the laces on the back of his head should be visible while he is getting up.
*When Strong Bad is doing the Git Outcha Seat Sound, the yellow seat only has three legs.

===Inside References===
*[[The am morning "CRUDE" crew]] was first heard in [[radio]].
*Strong Bad uses a [[Disconnected Telephone]].
*Boardelectrix also made Jurvy-Skat in [[Family Resemblence]].
*The Show's announcer calls Homestar "[[Kevin]]", short for "Kevin DuBrow", the name he would have been known by had he lost Strong Bad's wager in [[the bet]].
*Coach Z's dance in the easter egg is the "I'm Just Me" dance from [[record book]].
*The synthesizer used for The Cheat's song in this email sounds the same as the one used for the [[Stinkoman 20X6]] soundtrack.

===Real-World References===
*Strong Sad's "This Is Not A The Geddup Noise T-Shirt" refers to [[Wikipedia:Fugazi_(band)|Fugazi]]'s "This Is Not A Fugazi T-Shirt" T-shirts.
*Strong Sad's "Corporate The Geddup Noise Still Sucks" shirt is akin to the shirt worn by the late [[Wikipedia:Nirvana_(band)|Nirvana]] lead singer [[Wikipedia:Kurt_cobain|Kurt Cobain]] on the cover of [[Wikipedia:Rolling_Stone|Rolling Stone]], which read "Corporate Magazines Still Suck", which was also referenced in [[Homestarloween Party]]. Also a reference to SST Records' slogan "Corporate Rock Still Sucks".
*Lou Dobbs is the anchor and managing editor of CNN's [http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/lou.dobbs.tonight/ Lou Dobbs Tonight].
*[http://www.nndb.com/people/089/000024017/ Brent Musburger] is a sports announcer for ABC.
*Homestar referring to the center square is a reference to the game show [[Wikipedia:Hollywood Squares|Hollywood Squares]], where such comics as Paul Lynde and Whoopi Goldberg famously sat in the "center square."
*"[[Wikipedia:Indietronic|Indietronica]]" is a musical genre that merges the methods of [[Wikipedia:Electronica|electronica]] with the broader context of [[Wikipedia:Indie (music)|indie music]].

action figure

2004-11-22T18:45:18Z

Histrion: /* Easter Eggs */ fixed typo

[[Image:sbemail42.PNG|thumb|Smells like peanut action!]]

'''Strong Bad Email #42'''

Somebody asks Strong Bad what he would look like as an action figure.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]]

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{singing}'' Doo doo do doo, doo duh doo DOO!

''{reading}''

<pre>Hey Strong Bad,

If someone made a Strong Bad action figure, what kind of awesome stuff would it be able to do?

Kyle Rechsteiner
San Mateo, CA</pre>

''{Strong Bad says "San Mateos, Can Mateos".}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' Oh man, Kyle. My action figure would have it all. First of all:

''{cut to a screen where Strong Bad's action figure appears as he details it}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' It'd look exactly like me...

''{the action figure first appears; it is considerably taller, buffer, and with a much smaller head than the actual Strong Bad}''

...you know, in terms of his physique, and the relative size of his head to his body, it'd be exactly the same. And of course I'd come armed to the teeth with my Chinese throwing croissant! Then, I'd be able to shoot sparks from my mouth, you know like, khfkhfkhffffkhfk, it'd make a noise like that. And when you push down on my head, there'd be PFF! Double deuce action! And then of course, you could take the head off, too, and there'd be a hole where you could pour like, motor oil, or grapefruit juice, or whatever kinda junk you wanna put in there. And then, turn out the lights, glow-in-the-dark abs, man! Oh! Oh! And get it wet, and you get SEVERE KNIFE FIGHT DAMAGE, like magic appears! But that's not all! UH-OH! ''{the action figure's leg falls off}'' Battle damage! And finally, switch to the dispenser fist to ooze radioactive goo!

''{Cut back to the Compy 386}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' I think those things would sell like hotcakes, man. Ooh! Especially if they SMELLED like hotcakes! Anyways, I tried to make one of my own one time and it didn't turn out as good as my imagination.

''{Strong Bad holds up a peanut with pipe cleaners for arms and a painted face}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Basically all it has is... smells-like-peanut action. I'm lookin' for some licensees.

''{Strong Bad starts playing with the action figure}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Doo doo doooo! ''{starts speaking for the figure}'' Hey Homestar, get away from here! Holy crap!

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

== Easter Eggs ==
* At the end you can click on the ugly Peanut Strong Bad and see the package of the cool Strong Bad action figure. Keep clicking to see some more characters as action figures. The characters and package blurbs are:
** Strong Bad
*** Exciting Action Man!
*** Chinese Throwing Croissant!
*** Severe Double Deuce Action!
*** Smells Like Hotcakes!
**** If you zoom in on it, you'll see that the "M" is partially transposed over the "E". In fact, the entire "smells like hotcakes" sticker has poorly spaced text.
** Coach Z
*** Green Colored Hero!
*** High-Pitched Super Sonic Whistle!
*** Butt-Patting Action
** Strong Mad
*** Action Toy!
*** He's The Biggest One!
*** Friends With The Cheat!
** Pom Pom
*** Action Fighting Guy!
*** Secret Cell Phone!
*** The Ladies Choice!
** Strong Sad
*** Action-Like Figurine!
*** Atomic Calligraphy Pen!
*** Extreme Whining And Crying!
** Homestar
*** Super Action Doll
*** Spiked Battle Marshmallows
*** No Arms! Like Real Life!
** Peanut Strong Bad
*** Homemade Peanut Warrior
*** Museum Quality
*** Smells Like Peanut Action!
* All the toys are made by [[Cheap as Free]] Toys, are for ages 3-5, and cost $11.01.

== Fun Facts ==
*At the beginning, Strong Bad is humming the same tune that is in the background when it shows the action figures.
*The "Chinese Throwing Croissant" is likely a reference to the end of [[3 Wishes]], when Strong Bad starts to ramble on about how the horns in his drawing look like croissants and how he'd really like one right about now.
*When you push on its head, it supposedly has "Double Deuce" action. This is referring to [[the bird]].
*All of the action figures are modeled strongly after the Masters of the Universe line.
*"He's the Biggest One!" could be a reference to the They Might Be Giants song "The Biggest One" in which the narrator says (wait for it) "I'm the biggest one".

Histrion: New Fun Fact: Tendafoot? Also combined a couple earlier Fun Facts.

== Summary ==
'''Strong Bad Email #103'''

Strong Bad gives advice to a Deutschlander on cool "haircuts".

'''Features: [[Strong Bad]], [[Marzipan (character)|Marzipan]], [[The Poopsmith]], [[The King of Town]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Strong Mad]], [[Strong Sad]] (Easter Egg), Gary from [[Limozeen]] (Easter Egg)'''

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, if I had a nickel for every email I get, I would throw them at people in the food court. From that railing, like up above.

''{Starts reading with "Da da da--"}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,
Dude, who cuts your hair? It's
sooo coull. I can't decide what to
do with mine, any suggestions?

Harry Earlemacherg
Düsseldorf</pre>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "coull" just like it is spelled, and in place of "Earlemacherg", he says "ergonomics"}''

''{typing}'' I got no hair, Düsseldörke, so I'm gonna have to reach on this one. Now who's got hair around here?

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Marzipan by the gazebo. Strong bad is holding scissors.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' You've got to be kidding me.

''{Cut to Strong Bad and The Poopsmith in the field. The Poopsmith points to one of his hairs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh... never mind.

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Marzipan by the gazebo again.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' I'm growing it out for charity.

''{Cut to Strong Bad and The King of Town by the castle.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Nobody touches the 'stache.

''{Cut to close up of Homestar. He's got an angry look on his face.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' N O spells no.

''{Fade back to show that Homestar is off by himself, talking to no one, while Strong Bad and the King of Town are in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I didn't even ask you, Baldy!

''{Homestar looks shocked. Cut to Strong Bad and Marzipan by the gazebo again.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' This is a weave.

''{Cut back to Strong bad at the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Sorry Ger-man. Looks like I can't practice my barber wizardry, or barbzerdry as I call it, on anybody around here. So, I guess you're on your own. I ghe

''{Widen to show Strong Mad standing next to Strong Bad. Strong Mad has a box.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' MAKE IT DANCE! MAKE IT PRANCE!!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, I'll make that cardboard box dance and prance later, big guy. I'm in the middle of...

''{Zoom in on Strong Mad's eye brows.}''

Ah ha! Pay dirt!

''{A camera flash goes off and the screen goes white. Fade back to Strong Bad at the Compy. An instant camera type photo of Strong Mad is taped to Compy. It develops as Strong Bad talks.}''

Okay, now that I have Strong Mad's image... um... scanned in to the computer, I'll use my cutting art, state of the edge technology to simulate different hairstyles. On his eyebrows. I'll just get out my "LIGHT PEN" here.

''{Strong Bad's hand comes up. He has a marker and starts to draw on the picture.}''

First, for the Strong Mad who's out on the prowl, no woman can resist the distinguished grace of what I like to call: The "Gentleman Caller".

''{Draws Gentleman like eyebrows. "Gentleman Caller" flashes on the screen.}''

Or,

''{Wipes picture clean. We zoom in a bit on the picture.}''

Experience the lightning brows of "Jagged Metal".

''{Draws lightning type eyebrows. "Jagged Metal" flashes on the screen.}''

Oh, and he's definitely going to need a guitar.

''{Draws a guitar. It ends up in the middle of Strong Mad's face.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I DON'T WANT TO EAT A GUITAR!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're not eating it... you're shredding some hot lixxs... with your teeth.

''{Strong Bad makes a guitar noise as he draws a whammy bar on the guitar. He then wipes the picture clean.}''

Or experience the urban flavor of: "Hammer Pants".

''{He draws some funky eyebrows with a fade and adds a comic balloon pointing to Strong Mad's mouth that says "proper!". He then wipes the picture clean.}''

And for the Strong Mad who's not so concerned with attracting ladies: "Big Ol' Eyebrows".

''{He draws some big ol' eyebrows.}''

I should probably go ahead and give him some missing teeth...

''{Blackens Strong Mad's upper-right central incisor and upper-left cuspid.}''

Acne...

''{Draws spots on Strong Mad's face.}''

One of them butt chins.

''{Draws a butt chin.}''

There we go. One hundred and ten percent lady-proof.

''{He wipes the picture clean. He then draws a dog and a cat for eyebrows.}''

"A Dog and Also a Cat Shaped Eyebrows."

''{"A Dog and Also a Cat Shaped Eyebrows" flashes on the screen.}''

And a couple of muskrats.

''{He adds two muskrats. He then wipes the picture clean.}''

And don't forget: the "Ready for Primetime".

''{Draws a picture he clearly got carried away with. "Ready for Primetime" flashes on the screen.}''

Which I admit I got a little carried away with.

'''STRONG MAD:''' SWEETIE CAKES! SWEETIE CAKES!!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sweetie cakes? What are you ta-- O-oh, yeah I guess it does look a little bit like one of them "Sweet Cuppin' Cakes" guys.

''{Draws an "Eh! Steve" looking character.}''

Eh! Greg.

''{Wipes picture clean.}''

''{Strong Bad takes the picture down and starts typing.}''

So that gives you a lot to choose from, Deutschman. I think you could easily apply all my eyebrow style to your ''{pauses}'' headbrow style. So good luck witchasself. I have to use my "LIGHT PEN" on napping Strong Sad. Prreeow.

''{Strong Bad gets up and [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on "Barbzerdry" to see a peice of parchment about Barbzerdry.
*Click on "Deutschman" to see a Comic book Cover.
*Click on "eyebrow style" to see Strong Bad make the box dance.
**Click on the [[Limozeen]] poster in the top-right corner to see Limozeen's version of the song.
***Transcript of "[[Box]] Song":
:::'''STRONG BAD''': Doo dit doo doo! It's tough being a box! But I'm livin' it up! Livin' it up! Do dit do dit! Livin' it up! Do dit do dit do! Box!
:::'''STRONG MAD''': HOORAY FOR BOX!
*Click on 'napping Strong Sad' to see how Strong Bad used the 'light pen' on Strong Sad.

== Fun Facts ==
*The game(s) in the floppy disk holder are "Tengen Classics" Tengen was a front for Atari, allowing Atari to make games (illegally) for the NES.
*On the "Light Pen" it says "Fine Tip Permanent Marker".
*The Deutschman comic book is published by [[Cheap as Free]]. The comic is a reference to [[superhero name]].
**Both comics have a parody of the old Spiderman head that's in the bottom corner of the old Marvel comics (except that it's Strong Bad's head instead of Spiderman's).
*"Deutsch" is German for "German".
*[[Strong Bad]]'s "permanent" marker isn't permanent at all.
*When Strong Mad says "Sweety Cakes" Strong Bad calls the little guy "Eh Greg"
*Here's a list of the different eyebrow styles:
**"Gentleman Caller"
**"Jagged Metal"
**"Hammer Pants"
***Hammer Pants were those pants MC Hammer used to wear and made famous.
**"Big Ol' Eyebrows"
**"A Dog And Also A Cat Shaped Eyebrows" (and a couple of muskrats)
**"Ready For [[Prime Time|Primetime]]"
*Strong Bad must have a pretty spiffy keyboard. He can Umlaut (oom-louwt) his "O"s really quickly. Normally you need to change the language on your keyboard or use alt commands (ö).
*The box says "GLUTEMATES (BOX OF 6)". (it's faded)
*A light pen is kind of like the thing that John Madden uses. You know, the "this guy went here, this other guy went WAY around here and BOOM!" thing with the yellow writing on the screen!
*In the "napping [[Strong Sad]]" easter egg, Strong Sad is naming off Smurfs in his sleep. Smurf names mentioned by [[Strong Sad]] in his sleep:
**Jokey Smurf
**Brainy Smurf
**"That Carpenter Smurf"
***(probably referring to Handy Smurf but forgetting his name)
*[[Strong Sad]] goes on to say "Watch out Julian Sands!" ref. to a British horror film actor.
**in Julian Sands film, he chops off his girlfriends legs and arms because he wanted to do everything for her, and than the police sneak up on him and bashed him on his head.
*The face that [[Strong Bad]] has drawn on [[Strong Sad]] in his sleep loosely resembles "Tendafoot," the elephant he drew in [[crying]] which he claimed represented Strong Sad.
*If [[Strong Bad]] really did have a nickel for every email he has done up through this one, he would have $5.15.
**Actually, he does receive a quarter for each email address he gives Bubs, as per [[unused emails]].
*Strong Bad says he has no hair, but in theme park he has been working on the theme park as long as he's been "growing his mustache"
**In gimmicks, the blackened stuff on his head looks like hair.

== Summary ==
Cheerleader's totally bummed that school's happening again this year, So and So is falling head over heels for Brett Bretterson, and the other two are getting squished.

'''Page Title:''' TGS Tissue 4

== Transcript ==
'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Teen Girl Squad! Cheerleader ''(cool parents!)''! So and So ''(student council)''! What's Her Face ''(shop lifting?)''! The Ugly One ''(prepaid lunch!)''!

'''CHEERLEADER:''' I'm totally bummed that school is happening again this year.

'''SO AND SO, WHAT'S HER FACE, AND THE UGLY ONE''' SO GOOD!

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Y'all are so wack.

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' Wiggidy-wack?

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Nope, just regular type.

'''SO AND SO:''' Not me. I sat next to Brett Bretterson in math and he asked to study with me at lunch.

''[Hearts appear above her head and one gets pierced with an arrow.]''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' You made Brett Bretterson up in first grade, he's not real.

'''SO AND SO ''(to no one)'':''' Oh, Brett, there you are. Thank you, you've filled out nicely too.

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' (reading the caption above What's Her Face's bemused expression) Weirded out!

'''SO AND SO ''(walking into the "Fighting Growlbacks Bottomless Spirit Pit")'':''' Okay, let's go. Ahhh! Go Growlbacks!

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' When you fall in a bottomless pit you die of starvation.

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Okay gals, Quarterback is over there. I'm gonna go see if he has any plans for dating me. Is-a my unda-wears showing?

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' Yes ma'am.

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Grood.... I mean good... and great. Great and good.

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' Teehee.

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' We're cool.

''[A heavy weight and a sack of potatoes fall on What's Her Face and The Ugly One, respectively, as Narrator Strong Bad says:]''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' NO YOU'RE NOT.

'''CHEERLEADER:''' So Quarterman, how's about you and me?

'''QUARTERBACK:''' How's about you get some brains?

'''THE MAN WITH THE HUGE MOUTH (in a cockpit on top of a giant brain):''' CEREBELLUM'D!

'''SO AND SO:''' Little help down here?... Maybe some Lunchables?... Or a juice box?... I love you too, Brett.

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' IT'S OVER!

== Easter Eggs ==
* At the end, if you click on the "o" in "over," you get a bonus skit with What's Her Face and The Ugly One trapped under NO pounds and YOU'RE NOT potatoes.
* At the end, if you click on the !, you get to hear So and So talk to herself some more.

== Fun Facts ==
*This is the only proper TGS issue (The [[Decemberween Teen Girl Squad]] special not included) where birds don't get killed somehow. (Though in Issue # 5, no living birds get killed, a postcard with a picture of birds on it gets CHOMP'D.) One of [[So and So]]'s love hearts gets ARROW'D, however.
*One of lines said by Cheerleader before dying was grood, a mix of the words good and great. It looks to be a pun on "grool," a word in the movie [[Mean Girls]] which is great and cool mixed together
*The cerebellum is the bottom rear section of the brain. Its function is disputed, but the two main theories are that it either functions as a regulator of the timing of movements, or that it is the brain's learning/encoding machine.

== Fun Facts ==

*Notice that the walk-on Strong Bad in the easter egg covers up the lines of the paper, whereas everything else in the scene doesn't.
*This is the only Teen Girl Squad in which one of the characters is given an actual name. So and So is referred to as Kristin or Kristina, but never again are names used for any of the girls.
*You can still click Whats Her Face's headstone after the easter egg has been activated, but it doesn't do anything.
