'''''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda (series)|The Legend of Zelda]]''''' series of adventure games is usually considered one of the "core titles" for [[Nintendo]] systems (along with [[Mario]]). It is not surprising that the [[Brothers Chaps]] have made lots of references in the [[Homestar Runner body of work]] to these games.

==Appearances==
*[[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]] — When the pumpkin is given to [[The Poopsmith]], the "secret revealed" jingle from the series plays. It particularly comes from ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past]]''.
*Email [[japanese cartoon]] — One of the "NES Endings" that can be seen at the end is from [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda (video game)|the original ''Legend of Zelda'']]. Additionally, the credits for Stinkoman K are taken from that game.
*[[Peasant's Quest]] — The save screen resembles the one from ''The Legend of Zelda''.
**When Rather Dashing gets the Kerrek's belt, he holds it above his head much like Link does with various items.
*[[Stinkoman 20X6]] features several ''Zelda'' references:
**My Benj resembles the Bit enemies in ''[[Wikipedia:Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]''.
**Stlunko is similar to many video game bosses that consist of a mostly inactive head defended by two enormous disembodied hands. Such bosses are popular in the ''Zelda'' series, such as Bongo-Bongo from ''[[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'', Gohdan from ''[[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', and Mazaal from ''[[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]]''.
**Saargtsson is very similar in appearance and style to {{p|l=http://www.zeldauniverse.net/content/view/62/46/ Moldorm}} from the ''Zelda'' series, or possibly Volvagia, who also lives in a lava-filled area.
*[[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]] — [[Homsar]] is dressed as [[Wikipedia:Tingle|Tingle]], a recurring character who debuted in ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]]''. Like the character he is portraying, Homsar throws confetti and is also seen floating on a balloon. Homsar's line spoken here also refers to Tingle's selling of maps.
*[[Why Come Only One Girl?]] — [[The Hurricane]] never appeared because The Brothers Chaps were distracted by a new ''Legend of Zelda'' game. [[Homestar Runner]] responds to this with "Why, [[Wikipedia:Ganondorf|Ganondorf]], why?!", and then captures [[Marzipan]] in a bottle just as [[Wikipedia:Link (Legend of Zelda)|Link]] does with fairies, while singing the "item received" jingle from the series.
**In the [[Why Come Only One Girl?#Commentary Transcript|commentary]], [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] and [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] agree that the Zelda game in question is probably ''The Wind Waker''.
*Email [[the chair]] — A hidden picture reads "nice try dodongo!" [[Wikipedia:Enemies in The Legend of Zelda series#Dodongo|Dodongos]] are dinosaur-like monsters in ''The Legend of Zelda'' series.
*[[Strong Badia The Free]] — The three-headed spider in Country is similar to {{p|l=http://zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Trinexx Trinexx}}, the guardian of Turtle Rock Dungeon in ''A Link To The Past''.
*Email [[unnatural]] ([[unnatural#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]]) — Mike and Matt mention that King Bubsgonzola Supreme's intro closeup and name display are similar to bosses in ''The Legend of Zelda'' series.
**This has occurred in most of the 3D ''Zelda'' titles, including ''Ocarina of Time'', ''Majora's Mask'', ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', and the pseudo-3D ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]''. The name display, though not the intro movie, was strangely absent in ''Wind Waker.'' The name of each boss (except Ganondorf, who was of course mentioned by name many times before game's end) could only be learned by taking a color picture of the boss and having a sculpture made from the photo.
*[[8-Bit Is Enough]] — Homestar will, at one point, pop up and say "Hey! Listen!" in the same fashion as Navi in ''Ocarina of Time''. The locked door at game's end is also similar to those in ''Ocarina''.
**Near the end of the game, after defeating [[Trogdor]], [[Strong Bad]] dances similarly to the way Link dances in ''Wind Waker'' after defeating a boss.
*[[Compy Catalog]] — The Poopsmith is wearing the uniform and bag of the Postman from ''Majora's Mask'' and ''Twilight Princess,'' though with a picture of The Cheat in place of the rabbit.
*[[Punkin Stencils]] — When the stencil of Devil Homestar is unlocked, the "secret revealed" jingle from the series plays.
*[[Doomy Tales of the Macabre]] — A few ''Zelda'' references are featured:
**[[The Poopsmith]] is dressed as Darunia, from ''Ocarina of Time''.
**Strong Bad is dressed up as the Skull Kid, from ''Majora's Mask'', wearing the titular mask.
**In an Easter egg, Homestar sings "Saria's Song", which prompts the Poopsmith to dance (as Darunia does when he hears Saria's Song).
**In a different Easter egg, Strong Bad makes fun of the moon in Majora's Mask, as [[The Moon|the FCUSA moon]] blinks with a face resembling the one from that game.

==Transcript==

''{Open up to a yellow diamond road sign showing a silhouette of Puppet Homestar, accompanied by the text "PUPPETS ON THE ROAD". Cut to Puppet Homestar and Mike Chapman in Washington Square.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh, Washington Square. Let's, let's make a short film. Let's pretend we're in film school. Okay go!

''{Black-and-white film style. Title appears on screen:}''

<div style="background:gray; color:white; padding:8px; width: 200px; text-align:center">STAPLE-DOWN LIFE a short one by Homestar and Craig</div>

''{Cut to close-up of Craig Zobel staring into space. Cut to close-up of Homestar staring into space. Cut to extreme close-up of Craig.}''

'''CRAIG ZOBEL:''' Smoking.

''{Cut to extreme close-up of Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Cigarettes.

''{Cut. Craig and Homestar are facing each other.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' The end—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER AND CRAIG ZOBEL:''' —of life. The beginning of—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —death.

'''CRAIG ZOBEL:''' ''{immediately afterwards in failed unison}'' —death.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Death. Are we rolling?

''{Cut to a flock of birds taking flight in the park. The following appears on screen:}''

<div style="background:gray; color:white; padding:12px; width: 200px; text-align:center">FIN.</div>

''{Cut; now normal color.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What'd you think of our short film, Mike?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' It wasn't very good.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What?!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{shaking his head no}'' That's not gonna cut it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Are you even ''in'' film school?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' I'm not, not even no.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' "Not even no"? What kind of grammar is that?!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' That black-and-white stuff's just not gonna cut it, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I cut it.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' That's not enough.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I cut it on a Nagra...sound recorder. See you don't even know what that is. That's film-school talk.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Well, it's a sound recorder.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's 'cause I ''told'' you. Cheater.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Well... well...

''{Mike bends down and picks up some snow and ice.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What, what's that?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' It's, uh, it's a chunk of ice.

''{He throws the ice in Homestar's mouth.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aaahh!! ''{He screams and spits repeatedly, yelling each time.}''

''{Mike tries to clear the ice from Homestar's mouth.}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' All right all right all right! You're—

''{Homestar starts biting Mike's hand.}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Everyone's looking! Just, be quiet, okay?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Everyone's looking at ''you''.

[[Image:Puppets on the road DVD.JPG|thumb|You're attracting "guls."]]

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{overlapping}'' You're attracting attention.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're attracting girls ''{pronounced "guls"}''.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughing}'' That's definitely not true. I don't know what "guls" are, anyway.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{with great effort}'' G-Girrrls. There, g— I said it. It hurts.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Women. Can you say women?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{not hearing him}'' It hurts.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' I attract women.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Women. Dudes!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughing}'' No.

''{Mike picks up another chunk of snow and stands up, chuckling.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{laughing}'' Dude, don't throw another one! I'm outta here!

''{Homestar runs off. Mike throws the snow at his own face.}''

''{Cut to the camera spinning around with Homestar, angled towards the roof of a building.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' I'm gonna make it after all! Doo-doo-doot-doo— doot! ...I'm freeze-framed.

''{Cut to a rooftop.}''

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' Hey, everybody. My name, Shark-Tooth Bubs. I'm here in Philadelphia, home of the Chicken-Man. It's lookin' pretty nice. Have, have a nice time, everybody. Great job on the Chicken-Man... movie that you all made.

''{Cut. Shark-Tooth Bubs is being held over a five-story stairwell.}''

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' Hey, everybody, I've had my fill.

[[Image:SharkToothBubs DVD.JPG|thumb|right|"Let us rest in the wake of hours beneath."]]

''{Mike drops Shark-Tooth Bubs down the stairwell. The doll glides on the air and lands only two stories below.}''

''{Cut to Washington Square Park.}''

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' H-heaven help us. Let us rest in the wake of hours beneath, for tomorrow is a brand style, courageously affording the brothers of our l-lester brothers.

''{Cut to a small concession stand}''

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' This a regular stand. Uh, it-it's got a food, and a Chicken-Man movie for sale. But my concession strand [sic] is much nicer than this malarkey here. We got Chicken-Man and Chicken-Movie-Man. But my style's got eight burgers. 'At's why my buh- my bubba concession stand called "eight burgers".

''{Cut to a ticket machine in a subway station.}''

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' ''{Mike uses Shark-Tooth Bubs to press buttons on the screen}'' It's a style, gotta get the points. ''{presses the button for Chinese text}'' This is not good. I can't stick it up. ''{He presses on the screen more. Shark-Tooth Bubs reads what appears on the screen.}'' ''"¡Si ves algo, di algo!"''

''{Cut to Mike sitting at a picnic table with Homestar.}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Daaaah.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What are you spelling?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' I'm just sounding. Daaaaaah.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's weird. Why would you do something like that?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{holding up a muffin}'' Do you want a poppy-seed muffin—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Woo, that looks like blueberry ''{pronounced bluebree}''!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' —a miniature one?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think that's—

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' This one's poppy-seed.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's poppy-seed. Yeah. Why are we stopped here on the ''{raising his voice}'' ''side of the road''?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' To eat poppy-seed muffins and cake doughnuts.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa! Which—

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' And to read about the Old Three Hundred.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Are we in Texas yet?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Yes, we've been in Texas all day.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Am I a member of the ol'—

''{Mike puts a muffin in Homestar's mouth and laughs to himself.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{mouth full}'' —three hundred.

''{Homestar noisily spits the muffin out.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''Ptah!'' Poppy seeds!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' I was— I kinda wanted to eat that.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's on the— Just go for it. Thirty-second rule.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' I think it's the three-second rule, not the thirty-second rule.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' The Old-Three-Hundred rule. That's what all those historical markers are talking about.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' What do you think of Texas so far, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think it's flat.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{munching on a doughnut, nodding}'' It's pretty boring, huh?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Where's the Amalone, anyways?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' That's ''{vaguely pointing}'' that way.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Are we gonna go to it.

''{Mike shakes his head no.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' The old Amalone!

''{Mike still says no.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Remember the Amalone!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughs}'' Alamo.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Alamo. A-L-A-M-O.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's a rental-car place.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Yeah, it's also an old building that people died at and fought peop—other people.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's the Amalone.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughs}'' Want some doughnut?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You shoulda learned about Texas before comin' down here. ''Tejas''.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' You know—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You old ''Tejas''!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' What do you know about Austin? There's a college there, you know.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Austin?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' College girls are gonna be there.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Really?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Which type?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Hot Texas college girls.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Really?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Mm hmm. Coeds.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah? Whoo. What's their major?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughs}'' Uh, ''{finishes his doughnut}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Soc—

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' —prob'ly agriculture, mostly.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ohh.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' They got a lot of that around here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Agro.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Yeah, agro.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Austin A&M?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' No, it's where UT is, I think.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' U—

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' University of Texas.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Un—

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' You know— ''{Makes the "hang loose" sign at first with his hand, then switches to the "hook-em horns" sign. He alternates between them as he tries to decide which is correct.}'' —hook-em horns? I don't know which way. This way, I guess. Hook-em horns.

''{Homestar reaches into the doughnut bowl and takes the last doughnut in his mouth.}''

[[Image:Puppets on the road2 DVD.JPG|thumb|"Don't share with Matt!"]]

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Don't— I want that.

''{Homestar leans to his left, and Matt's face peeks into view. Matt bites off half the doughnut and begins to chew. Homestar spits the rest of it back near the bowl.}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Ma— Homestar, don't share with Matt!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{laughing, and, oddly, sounding like his mouth is full}'' I need to!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{laughing}'' That's not fair ''{eats the rest of the doughnut}''.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{mouth somehow still full}'' It's nice here, Mike.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' It's pretty—it's pleasant here in this, uh, nice little picnic area—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's a pleasant grove.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' —off ol' Highway 71. You wanna go for a run through that field with me?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, you know what I'd like to do first?

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing dramatically}'' ''Spin my buzzerrrrr''.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' All right. I'm gonna spin your buzzer with a blueberry muffin.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay.

''{Mike spins Homestar's beanie propeller twice. The now-empty bowl is slowly blown off the table by the wind.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''B-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r...!''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Homestar, our bowl of treats just blew away in the wind.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think it was out of treats.

''{Mike places a muffin on Homestar's underbite. He gets up to retrieve the bowl.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Just stack it there. Look at this balancing act.

''{Mike returns and puts the bowl on Homestar's head. It immediately flies away again.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whaaoh! 
'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Whaaoh!

''{Mike gets the bowl once more.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Look at me. I never knew I was so dexterous. Check it out.

''{Mike tries putting the bowl back on Homestar's head, then decides to just shove it in his mouth.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' Ahhhhh.

''{Mike starts putting muffin bits in Homestar's mouth. Homestar tries unsuccessfully to speak.}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' All right, Homestar, I'll see you later!

''{Homestar again noisily empties his mouth.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Mike! ''Ptah!'' Check him out! He's goin' for it now!

''{The camera pans to the left to see Mike running through the field and hopping a short wall.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Come back! Mike! No! Don't leave!

''{Cut to inside The Brothers Chaps' van}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Mike.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Yes?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' How do you like Texas?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Uh, I haven't seen much of it. We've been driving from Houston to Austin.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, that's right.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' It's pretty boring; this drive's pretty boring.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' But we're about to hit the scenic overlook.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ohh.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' In about half a mile.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sce-ne-nic.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''Scenic''.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' A-sce-ne-nic—

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Scenic.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —overlook. ''{singing}'' Overlook!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Okay, here we go; we're slowing down. We're slowing down.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey let's, do you remember that overlook song we made up?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Yeah, how does that go again?

[[Image:Puppets on the road3 DVD.JPG|thumb|right|Remember the Amalone!]]

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —when we was kids.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Yeah. How does that go again?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' Overlook, why did you go so far... aw—c'mon—awaaaay. 
'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{singing, slightly off from Homestar}'' Overlook, it's the—why did you go so far... that's—''{speaking}'' what was that next part?—''{singing}'' awaaaay.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' In the woods—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' In the woods—

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' —why did you leave my heart— 
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{slightly off}'' —why did you leave my heart—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —and my walkman— 
'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{slightly off}'' —and my walkman.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{speaking}'' That was, that was good.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{still singing}'' —in the woods.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Ooh.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{speaking}'' Whoa. This is sce-ne-nic. To be sure.

'''News articles''' are often used for humor purposes in [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] cartoons. They are usually written about bizarre stories and occurrences that are largely irrelevant to the toon's main plot. Some must be decompiled or viewed as a Flash file to be read. Several of the articles contain some variation of the line "His mother was very proud".

==Appearances==
*Email [[sb_email 22]] — As well as an article about [[Strong Bad]] offending the royal family in England, the issue of ''[[Wikipedia:The Guardian|The Guardian]]'' that appears at the end of the email also includes stories titled "Cricket Still Pretty Weird Sport", "[[The King of Town|King of Town]] Eats Treacle", and "Officer Actually Named Bobby".
*Email [[privileges]] — In [[Fretmagic]] magazine, there is an article about [[Gary Palaroncini]] mastering "the hardest chord ever", which apparently requires 11 fingers to perform.
*Email [[stunt double]] — There is a newspaper called [[The Local Newspapes]] that has an article about a polar bear who wandered from the North Pole and interrupted a baseball game, injuring [[LEMKE|Mark Lemke]]. The headline is covered with a taped-on piece of notebook paper that reads "[[Lowercase i's|MiSSiNG]] TAPE STOLEN!!! [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] seen on the case. For real."
**This same newspaper appears in [[dangeresque 3]], with the notebook paper reading "[[PERDUCCI]] IS THE BAD GUY".
*Email [[colonization]] — In the book about the colonization of [[Strong Badia]], Strong Bad is seen reading a newspaper with a "RENT FOR SALE!" ad and a page saying "[[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] declares [[eggs]] not a fruit."

**This newspaper appears again in [[secret recipes]].
*Email [[time capsule]] — There is a current newspaper clipping with an article about a boy named Geoff, who saved a turtle named Slowbie by finding it in his shoe.
*Email [[portrait]] — A "rich-guy newspaper" resembling [[Wikipedia:The Wall Street Journal|The Wall Street Journal]] is shown, with stories about mulligatawny stew rising in the markets and about large cell phones making a 4th quarter comeback as the "it" toy of the [[Decemberween]] season. A lower headline reads "Banks have 'money'".
*Email [[candy product]] — Strong Bad is reading Da NewsPapes in the [[Bathroom of the Brothers Strong|bathroom]]. The two shallow articles visible on the papes employ many words to say, essentially, that "stuff continues to happen in the world" and "famous people did some stuff".
*[[Happy Hallow-day]] — Homestar, dressed as a newsboy, is seen selling newspapers. The headlines include "Halloween Night missing", "Citizens mobilize to save holiday", and "In unrelated news, this newsboy get-up is not my Halloween costume".

**This article was later seen in [[Hremail 3184]].

== Transcript ==
=== Marzipan's Greeting ===
'''MARZIPAN:''' Hi guys! Leave me a message, and I'll leave you with an abstract thought. Is a penguin a bird or a duck?

=== Message 6 ===
'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey Marzipan, it's Strong Sad, um... I just rented the ''V.I. Warshawski'' DVD. Thought maybe you'd wanna come over and check it out with me, uh... says here it's got deleted scenes... director commentary... interactive menus... ''{Marzipan walks past and leaves her keys and [[Stalker Spray]] by the machine}'' scene selection... widescreen mode... uh, running time... that sounds pretty de-luxe. I know it's one of your favorites so when you get this, gimme a call and, uh, we'll do it up right!

=== Message 5 ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{lowered voice}'' (Okay, so what am I doing here?)

'''STRONG BAD:''' (Step one is to greet the recipient of the prank call.)

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' (Okay, okay, I got it.) Ahem. Hey Pom Pom!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitates buzzer noise}'' Wrong! Hang up and start over. ''{Hangs up}''

=== Message 4 ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hello Marzipan! (Okay, what I'm supposed to do now?)

'''STRONG BAD:''' (Step two is where you reveal your fake identity to the prankee.)

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' (Oh, I'm Batman.)

'''STRONG BAD:''' (What, n—! Just make up a name!)

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' (Okay, okay!) Hey Marzipan, this is Homestar.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitates buzzer noise again}'' ''{Hangs up}''

=== Message 3 ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hello, Marzipan, this is Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitates louder, slightly higher pitched buzzer noise}'' ''{Hangs up}''

=== Message 2 ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hello, Marzipan, this is... Sugar-face. (Okay, now what?)

'''STRONG BAD:''' (Well, step three is to continue the prank in a direction determined by your identity, but, uh, you're on your own with Sugar-face.)

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' (Okay.) I am a pretend guy that... comes around... and... ''{singing}'' gets run over by a lawnmower blade!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I chose to end in song!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh boy... remember how I said this is a six-week course?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I'm excited!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, it turns out it's canceled.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aw man!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, it's a shame.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh well. It's still the second-best five hundred bucks I ever spent!

=== Message 1 ===
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{sounding more depressed than usual}'' Hey Marzipan, it's Strong Sad again, um... I haven't been honest with you... I don't really have the ''V.I. Warshawski'' DVD. ''{Marzipan walks up to the machine.}'' I just went to the video store and copied down the features from the back of the DVD box. ''{Marzipan grabs her keys and heads out}'' I just wanted an excuse to call you, and... oh geez. Strong Bad's right. I'm a waste of space.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{In the background}'' I said you were a waste of FAT space!

== Easter Eggs ==
*After the final message, press the number display to get a familiar message.
:'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' YOUR PHONE A SPLODE! ''{The text scrolls across the display}''
*After the final message, press the tape deck for a message from Marzipan's credit card company. Mr. Ron Dardman calls about some unforeseen expenditures.
:'''RON DARDMAN:''' ''{rewind sound is heard, then Ron starts speaking}'' Hello there, Marzipan. My name is Ron...D-Dardman, from your credit card company. We're just calling to confirm a $500 charge for one of them race car beds. What made us suspicious is when it was signed for, in lieu of an actual signature, someone drew some kind of little underbite man with a beanie cap on. So if you could just give us a call back and confirm this is a valid charge, we'll be all... fine.

== Fun Facts ==
===Remarks===
*Marzipan's keys are identical (though they are different colors).
*In [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0]], Strong Sad hopes Marzipan will arrive and pick up the phone while he is speaking. Here, Marzipan does arrive while he is speaking, but doesn't pick up the phone.
*Homestar does know how to sign his own name. He did it on the old [[Yearbook Character Page]].

===Inside References===
*Homestar creates one of the [[names ending in -face]], mentions [[Best/Worst X bucks I ever spent|best/worst bucks ever spent]], and commits [[credit card fraud]].
*"YOUR PHONE A SPLODE" is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]] from the [[video games]] email, in which a 3-D vector version of Strong Bad's head proclaims, "YOUR HEAD [[A SPLODE]]."
**It also harkens back to [[personal favorites]] when Strong Bad left Marzipan a prank call and her answering machine exploded.

===Real-World References===
*Strong Sad refers to [[Wikipedia: V.I. Warshawski|''V.I. Warshawski'']], a 1991 film based on the series of detective novels by [[Wikipedia:Sara Paretsky|Sara Paretsky]] about private investigator V.I. Warshawski.
*The "[[Interactive Menus|interactive menus]]" is a clear reference to cut rate DVDs. While most DVDs offer additional features like Director Commentaries, and "Making Of" featurettes, cheap DVDs and DVDs of movies that didn't make enough money to make such featurettes have to get by with advertising Interactive Menus as a bonus feature.
*Homestar buying a $500 race car bed is a reference to the FRIENDS episode "The One With the Race Car Bed", where Monica accidentally buys a race car bed for said amount.

===Fast Forward===
*Interactive Menus are also referenced in [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]] and the back covers of [[Everything Else, Volume 1]] and [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Five]].
*As seen in an Easter egg, Homestar also requests a race car bed at "BUBS' MOTOR LODGE" (using the name "Mr. Dee Williams") in the Strong Bad Email [[secret identity]].
*V. I. Warshawski was later mentioned in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 16.2]].

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I'm livin' the Strong Bad life, I take an email for my wife. I take an email for my wife. ''{brings up and reads the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Hey Strongbad!</div>
Hey Strongbad, 
Does Strong Badia have any Mysterious Myths or 
Legendary Legends? 
Cephas 
Cornwall, CA 
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "Strongbad" as "Two words. Two different words. That are not one word. That are 'Strong' and 'Bad'." and the name and location as "Cephas Cornwall of the Corn Army".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Mysterious Myths or Legendary Legends? Isn't that a show on one of those channels up in the high hundreds? Ya know, like between the CG Dinosaur Channel and the Homes with Rollercoasters in Them Network? Well, if not, it should be! ''{makes a static-like sound}'' Come on! ''{makes it again, but this time the screen cuts to static}'' There we go.

''{Cut to Strong Badia. Strong Bad carries a stick.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Badia. An idyllic fruit-opia. Rich in madeupstories and nottrueities. The nottrue-est of which...

''{He prods The Tire with his stick. The Bear-Shark pops up. The Cheat runs by, panicked.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{screams in The Cheat}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...is the mighty bear holding a shark. ''{spooky jungle music starts}'' More than a mere security counter-measure, its origins lie in the skies of old.''

''{Cut to a starry sky. Constellations of the Strong Badia flag's snake, the guy with the big knife, a hand giving the "OK" symbol, a board with nails in it, General Tso's chicken, a fish with an afro, and a marathon runner sporting a Union Jack singlet.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The stars tell us that two of the seven elemental spirits of Strong Badia, the fish wearing a 'fro wig and the British distance runner, combined forces to defeat the others.

''{The runner holds out a hand to the fish just before all the constellations fight in a cloud of dust. In the end, the runner emerges holding the fish over his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' In paintball... or maybe Red Rover.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then, through years of bad story-telling and the telephone game,

''{Over the following, images of a satyr holding a fish, labeled "Wildernessman withst Sea-Beast", a moose with a chameleon in its antlers, and a bad drawing of the bear-shark on the fence appear.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The mythic beast transformed into the bear holding a shark we know today. These ancient fence drawings show evidence of destroyed crops, stolen babies, and family bike-rides. ''{The screen pans over to show bad drawings of the same.}'' Or family pie-sitting contests. Bear-holding-a-shark fever gripped the nation.

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand, with various Bear-Shark merchandise.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{holding up an ice cream bar}'' We got Bear-holding-a-shark frozen delights, ''{looking at a pile of glasses near him}'' and these shot glasses are always popular with the kids. Oh, and my favorite: ''{reaches down and produces a necklace}'' these Bear-tooth-holding-a-shark-tooth necklaces!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Of course, not everyone caught the fever.

''{Music starts and Bubs dances. Then, cut to Strong Sad. The screen reads "Bear Holding a Shark Skeptic".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'm sure it's just a weather balloon or a foreign exchange student. These strange beasts just aren't real!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...said the elephant-footed ghost man. And then, one day, the Bear-holding-a-shark got the break all made-up creatures dream of. ''{Taps the Bear-Shark with his stick a couple times}'' ''{The screen becomes more and more blurry, and zooms further and further into Strong Bad, on each word:}'' Blurry photographic evidence.

''{Cut to Homestar Runner}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now, I'm a little fuzzy on the details. But I was in the woods, walking my dog, Pom Pom. All of a sudden, he started growlin' and poopin' all over the place ''{chuckles}''. And that's when I saw it.

''{Static, then cut to a very fuzzy video reel of the Bear-Shark walking through the woods.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' A very. Scary. Monsterm'n.

''{More spooky jungle music}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Now that we've seen all the evidence, it's up to you to decide: ''{the following words appear on the screen}'' Mysterious Myth? Or Legendary Legend?

''{More spooky jungle music. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Join us next week when we examine startling new evidence in the Biscuitdoughhandsman conspiracy.

''{Yet more spooky jungle music. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:WalkingwithTrogdor.PNG|thumb|Walking with Trogdor]]
[[Image:By strong bab age 5.PNG|thumb|Who actually made all those fence drawings...]]
*After Strong Bad says "Corn Army", click on CA in the email to see a [[Teen Girl Squad]] frame of A Mighty Warrior taking on the Corn Army.
:'''A MIGHTY WARRIOR:''' The corn army is no match for A Mighty Warrior!
*Click on "CG Dinosaur Channel" to see Trogdor walk on the screen, advertising "Walking with Trogdor".
*By viewing the Flash file, when the "ancient fence drawings" are going by, the following text is written in juvenile handwriting outside of the viewing area:
<blockquote>
by strong 
bab 
agɘ 5
</blockquote>
*Click on "startling" at the end to see a scene with Strong Bad and Bubs.
:''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{holding one of the Bear-Shark ice cream bars}'' So this is supposed to be the bear holding a shark? Looks more like... Morgan Freeman.
:'''BUBS:''' Oh, right! That's what it is! Now gimme twenty extra bucks for that Shawshank style.
*Also at the end, click on "Biscuitdoughhandsman" to see Coach Z reporting an incident.
:''{Cut to Coach Z, standing in silhouette in front of a dark background. A caption appears reading "This guy's voice has been digitally altered again"}''
:'''COACH Z:''' ''{with voice digitally altered}'' So there I was, minding my own creepy business, when I found this severed hand in the lacker room! ''{He holds up a biscuit with a bite taken out.}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*"CG" is short for "Computer graphics".
*"[[Wikipedia:Chinese whispers|Telephone Game]]" is a game for children where a message is whispered from one participant to another, along a group, causing the message to be increasingly distorted as time progresses.

===Trivia===
*The T-shirt in Bubs' Concession Stand reads: "My baby got stole by the bear holding a shark!"
**On March 27, 2006, a [[Store T-Shirts|real-life version of this T-shirt]] was introduced in the [[Store]].
*This is the shortest Lappy email to date, at 2:54.

===Remarks===
*The location given in the star chart, 118 degrees north and 28 degrees west, is impossible as on Earth, 118 degrees north does not exist in star chart notation.
*Cephas is a Hellenization of Kepha, a Hebrew name which is the rough equivalent of the Greek Petros, usually anglicized to Peter in English translations. The name is properly pronounced "KAY-fus". Strong Bad pronounces this name "CEE-Fus", a common anglicization.
*Although Strong Bad calls the Bear Holding a Shark by that name in this e-mail, he also called it a "bear-shark" in [[date]].
*The "Bear-Tooth holding a Shark-Tooth" necklace Bubs offers for sale is clearly made with bear claws, not bear teeth. Actual bear teeth are much smaller and closely resemble dog teeth.
*Although Strong Bad berates the email's author for combining two words into one ("Strongbad"), he includes the word "rollercoasters" in his reply. "Roller coaster" consists of two separate words.

===Goofs===
[[Image:CZbiscuit.png|thumb|Biscuitdoughhandsman sticks again!]]
*When Strong Bad is introducing Strong Badia for the first time, his right arm is briefly missing.
*When the Cheat goes screaming after Strong Bad introduces the Bear Holding a Shark, you can see Strong Bad's mouth freeze where he began to continue talking about it.
*If you click on the Trogdor Easter egg directly before the static, the egg will appear over the static and disappear as soon as it arrives in Strong Badia.

*In the Coach Z Easter egg, when he holds out the biscuit, a little part of biscuit can be seen through the end of his hand.

===Inside References===
*The ancient fence drawings include another appearance of [[pie]] and a [[whale]].
*A Mighty Warrior first appeared in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]], and has mentioned corn each time he has appeared.
*[[Biscuitdoughhandsman]] first appeared in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]].
**In the email [[pizzaz]] he was also the subject of the "next episode".
*The constellation scene features the [[Strong Badia|Strong Badian]] flag's snake, the [[Painting of a Guy with a Big Knife|big knife guy]] and his knife, and [[General Tso's Chicken]], which all had connections to Strong Badia in the past.
*The fish constellation's 'fro wig also appeared in [[monument]].
*Coach Z's voice was digitally altered before in [[couch patch]].
*The Bear Holding a Shark first appeared in [[date]] – in that email, [[The Cheat]] touched [[The Tire]], received an electric shock, and then was scared off by the bear-shark. In this email, Strong Bad touches the Tire with a pointer and avoids the shock, and The Cheat is once again scared away by the bear-shark.
*The "Bear Holding A Shark" ice cream bar is similar in style to the ice cream bars of Homestar Runner, [[Pom Pom]] and Strong Bad, as seen in the [[Museum]] [[Sketchbook (museum)|Sketchbook]].
*"Strong Bab" is a reference to [[The Secrets That I Keep]], in which Strong Sad's birthday card was signed the same way by [[Lil' Strong Bad]].
*Homestar Runner's pronunciation of "monsterman," as one word with the last syllable unaccented, is another example of [["man" pronounced as "m'n"]].
*The cottage and Trogdor sprite used in the "Walking with Trogdor" Easter egg come from the game [[TROGDOR!]].
*One of the fence drawings appears to be a thatched-roof cottage being burninated.
*Once again Homestar refers to Pom Pom as [[my dog|his dog]]. He was previously called that in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]]. Though this time, he means it more literally.
*One of the fence drawings can be seen [[smoking]].
*In the Easter egg, Bubs demands "twenty extra bucks for that Shawshank [[style]]."

===Real-World References===
*"Walking With Trogdor" is a reference to the TV special [[Wikipedia:Walking With Dinosaurs|Walking With Dinosaurs]], which features CG dinosaurs.
**The "Walking with Trogdor" Easter egg is a reference to the recent trend of television networks to advertise for their shows by displaying short video clips along the bottom of the screen during the broadcast of another show.
*The British Long Distance Runner is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Steve Cram|Steve Cram]], a British middle-distance runner of the 1980s, as revealed in the DVD commentary.
*"Bear Holding a Shark Week" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:The Discovery Channel|The Discovery Channel]]'s [http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/sharkweek/sharkweek.html Shark Week].
*One of the fence drawings is a [[Wikipedia:TIE fighter|TIE fighter]] from [[George Lucas]]' Star Wars movies.
*"Shawshank style" is in reference to the 1994 movie [[Wikipedia:The Shawshank Redemption|The Shawshank Redemption]] in which Academy Award-winning actor [[Wikipedia:Morgan Freeman|Morgan Freeman]] plays a convict.
*The Strongbadia Myth Show is a reference to [[Wikipedia:In Search Of...|In Search Of...]] and similar shows and documentaries that investigate paranormal phenomena such as [[Wikipedia:Cryptozoology|monster sightings]] and alien abductions, and often include interviews with people who claim to have encountered such things.
*The blurry video footage of the bear holding a shark is a reference to the famous [[Wikipedia:Patterson-Gimlin film|Patterson-Gimlin]] home-movie footage of an alleged [[Wikipedia:Bigfoot|Bigfoot]] (Sasquatch) moving through a forest.
**A notable detail about Homestar's footage is that the bear-shark's feet are white and have blue soles, suggesting that the footage is not authentic. The Bigfoot footage has been debunked for similar reasons.
*[[Wikipedia:Fruitopia|Fruitopia]] is a fruit drink manufactured by [[Wikipedia:The Coca-Cola Company|Coca-Cola]].
*Strong Sad's mention of a weather balloon refers to the [[Wikipedia:Roswell UFO incident|1947 UFO incident]] in Roswell, New Mexico. Government officials identified strange debris as a weather balloon, which was later alleged to be a cover-up. Since then, weather balloons have become a typical rationalization of UFO sightings.
*The "Homes with Rollercoasters in Them Network" is likely a reference to the many home improvement shows that exist on channels like [[Wikipedia:TLC Network|TLC]] and The Discovery Channel, in which rooms are redecorated to fit a specific theme. Such shows include [[Wikipedia:Trading Spaces|Trading Spaces]] and [[Wikipedia:Monster House (TV series)|Monster House]].
*Strong Bad's remark about babies getting stolen, and the "My Baby Got Stole" T-shirt in Bubs' Concession Stand, are possible references to the [[Wikipedia:Azaria Chamberlain disappearance|Azaria Chamberlain disappearance]] in Australia in 1980 (of "a dingo took my baby" fame).

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

'''MATT:''' Once again we have our sister, Karen, to help us out.

'''MIKE:''' Hi, Karen.

'''KAREN:''' I want to tell you that after this e-mail came out, I got tons of requests for a bear holding a shark shirt.

'''MATT:''' And guess what! We— We sh— We never made one!

'''MIKE:''' We never made one.

'''MATT:''' That's a missed opportunity.

'''KAREN:''' I had to order it... three times.

'''MATT:''' There's a nice— There's a series of, uh, Teen Girl Squad Easter eggs in Strong Bad Emails. This is one of them. I think there's been, you know, maybe a handful... where the Easter egg is some, like, a scene from a Teen Girl Squad.

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

'''MATT:''' Like the death metal guys.

'''MIKE:''' What is this one?

'''MATT:''' The Cephas— The corn army! It's the samurai.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, yeah!

'''MATT:''' "Corn is no match for a mighty warrior."

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

'''KAREN:''' It's, "Corn is no place for a mighty warrior."

'''MATT:''' Well, right, but his— but when he's talking to the corn army I believe he says—

'''KAREN:''' Oh, okay.

'''MATT:''' —the corn army is no match.

''{Karen laughs as Strong Bad begins to talk about the bear holding a shark}''

'''MATT:''' ''{reacting to the tones played in the background}'' What's that— I think that's "goblins". Is that "goblins"? That sound?

'''MIKE:''' Oh, on the keyboard?

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping Mike}'' On our keyboard, I think that sound is called "goblins".

'''KAREN:''' ''{laughs}'' Okay, now... Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''KAREN:''' Who is the... British distance runner?

'''MIKE:''' It's Steve Cram, I think.

'''MATT:''' Nice!

'''MIKE:''' There was Steve Cram, Steve Ovett, and Sebastian Coe. They ruled, uh, early-'80s distance running—

'''KAREN:''' Or—

'''MIKE:''' —middle distance...

'''KAREN:''' —Seb Coe, as he was called.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping Karen}'' Seb Coe, yeah.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Where do you think that, uh—

'''KAREN:''' Moose with an iguana.

'''MATT:''' —What church has a stained glass moose holding a chameleon?

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping Matt}'' I don't know, but I want to go there.

'''KAREN:''' Oh, I thought it was an iguana.

'''MATT:''' So there's the baby— My baby got stole, right there.

'''KAREN:''' Yep.

'''MATT:''' And there's a little bit of a— of a Star Wars battle with TIE fighters.

'''KAREN:''' ''{overlapping Matt}'' Is that girl holding the whale supposed to be me?

'''MATT:''' I don't think so. 
'''MIKE:''' What? Do you hold whales?

'''KAREN:''' Oh, I also got requests... I also got requests for the shot glasses. ''{pause until Bubs holds up the necklace}'' I died laughing the first time I heard that.

'''MATT:''' ''{reacting to the beat played as Bubs dances}'' Oh, oh!

'''KAREN:''' What sound is ''that'' on your keyboard?

'''MATT:''' Uh.. That's, uh...

'''MIKE:''' Tang... sango? Samba?

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously with Mike}'' Samba? Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, samba. Yeah.

''{pause}''

'''KAREN:''' Oh—

'''MATT:''' Bear holding a shark week. That's very popular on—

'''KAREN:''' Took me a couple of times watchin' it before I actually noticed that in the background.

'''MIKE:''' I think Shark Week started that whole thing.

'''MATT:''' I just saw on the news the other day— There was aerial footage of the coast of Florida, of just— probably stock footage of sharks swimming, and it was like, "If you're in Florida, why you might wanna— not wanna go in the water, next!" And it was just like, "Oh! There are sharks in the ocean! Still!"

'''MIKE:''' Look! It's the Patterson footage!

'''MATT:''' Patterson-Gim— Gimwood.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping Matt}'' Gimli?

'''MATT:''' Gimli? I can't remember.

'''KAREN:''' It's actually... that thing? And you just...

'''MATT:''' No, no, no. That's a, uh... a... photograph of some woods that I then put... Homestar in and made it all blurry.

'''MIKE:''' That's just the name of that, uh...

'''MATT:''' Bigfoot.

'''MIKE:''' That bigfoot footage.

'''KAREN:''' Oh, I see.

'''MIKE:''' The famous bigfoot footage.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' ''{singing}'' Goblins! Goblins!

''{Karen laughs}''

===Fun Facts===
* Gimli is the name of the lone dwarf in the Fellowship of the Ring, from JRR Tolkien's [[Wikipedia: Lord of the Rings|Lord of the Rings]] series.

Pistols For Pandas (organization)

[[Image:Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 14.2.png|thumb|"They need all the firepower they can get!"]]
[[Image:Pistolsforfigginpandas.png|thumb|left|PFP is already in the T-Shirt business!]]
'''Pistols For Pandas''' (or '''PFP''') is a non-profit organization that aims to give [[Guns|pistols]] to [[Bears|pandas]]. [[Crack Stuntman]] is the national spokesperson for the group. In [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 14.2]], Stuntman calls and leaves a message telling [[Marzipan]] to stop protesting at their rallies. He describes pandas as "stupid, fat, slow creatures", saying they "need all the firepower they can get" so that they can protect themselves "when we come clear-cut their bamboo forests and build a five-star resort". PFP claims to have supplied guns to three hundred "underprivileged and unarmed" pandas. The logo shows an angry-looking panda with guns for eyebrows.

As explained in the toon [[Pistols for Pandas]], for each five dollar donation received, one box of cereal is bought containing the best prize. Crack Stuntman eats the cereal, plays with the prize, and then removes the box top from the box. When the organization collects enough box tops, Crack dresses up like a fifth grader, takes them to a local school and buys the school a computer. After "charming the horn-rimmed glasses off the media center ladies", Crack sneaks out with the computer, take it to a local pawn shop, and finally exchanges them for pistols, which are dumped into the panda habitat at the local zoo.

''{the loading screen for Lappy emails appears}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Never mind new sbemails! It's Sbemailiarized Entertainment! ''{the logo for "Sbemailiarized Entertainment™ © ® LLC,,. Esq." appears. A note plays as each intellectual property symbol is added}''

''{cut to Strong Bad sitting in [[Le Restige]], in the smoky office. He has his head turned, to face the camera from a side view of the chair}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hi. Yeah, it's Strong Bad. ''{camera swings to a frontal shot of the chair}'' This-a one time people ask me, "What separates the men from the boys? ''{camera gets in closer}'' The wheat from the chaff? ''{zoom in even closer}'' The sbemails from the other cartoons?" ''{camera returns to original side view position}'' And I told them: "Not all that much!"

''{a line graph appears, titled "the "difference"". The red line represents "other cartoons", and the blue "sbemails". It spans from 2003 to 2009.}''

'''VOICES:''' Oooh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Watch as I sbemailiarize myself with this classic cartoon!

''{static cut to Strong Bad in front of the Tandy 400. An email is on screen:}''

<blockquote class="tandy email"> Dear Strongbad, 
Coach Z talks real funney. 
-Jimty, 
St. Pod</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Jimty??!! That's a weird name! And you misspelled funny. Let's cut to Coach Z!!

''{cut to a scene from [[A Jorb Well Done]], with Coach Z talking to Homestar}''

'''COACH Z:''' I uh, I say you did a great ''jorb'' out there.

''{cut back to the Tandy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I cam'b deven umberstand wum that guy's sane! Zee you nezz dime!

''{static cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' See? I turned that old cratoon into a Strong Bad Email! ''{turns to the side and puts his hand aside of his mouth}'' The secret is this: We take a classic cartoon, ''{a blue screen with the words "THE SECRET! Shhh!" at the bottom falls over the scene. An orange box with old-style Homestar jumping appears}'' and bookend it with my snarky wagglehead ''{orange boxes with pictures of Strong Bad and the text "snark snark!" slide in and squish the Homestar box, then settle in place. The pictures of Strong Bad's head bobs back and forth.}'' and an old computer! ''{pull out to show the screen on the Lappy}'' ''{the disk load sound plays}''

''{cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's not a rerun ''or'' a cop-out! It's Sbemailiarized Entertainment! ''{The Sbemailiarized Entertainment™ © ® LLC,,. GQ logo again appears. A note plays as each intellectual property symbol is added}''

''{cut to Mike and Matt Chapman sitting in a room with wood paneling. A television and an Atari console sit between them. "THE CREATORS" is displayed in yellow above them. Matt is shaking his head angrily at Mike.}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' I can safely say: This is the future of Strong Bad Emails! ''{gestures toward camera}'' I can't wait to stop working—start working on ''them''!

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{suddenly stands up, knocking the word "CREATORS" offscreen}'' ''{angrily}'' This is ''the'' worst idea you've—!!

''{small blip, and cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Remember the one with that whale thing? ''{an inset showing a clip from [[Drive-Thru]] appears on the left}'' That crap made no sense, right? Well, that's because ''I'' wasn't there to tell you why things were funny!

''{cut to Strong Bad typing on a greenish computer, the [[Terminal D6]]}''

<blockquote class="compy email" style="border:4px solid #B9D79D;color:#D2FFD2">Hey Strong Bad, 
Man, those drive-thru speaker things 
sure are hard to understand. Will you 
cut to a scene of you talking to one? 
—Shandy</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Drive-thru? More like drivel-thru if you ask me. I mean, this is a fast food exchange we're having here. There's only like, ten things you could possibly be saying and I ''still'' can't understand you.

''{cut to a scene from Drive-Thru, with Strong Bad and The Cheat facing the Drive-Thru Whale}''

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' Nine-seventeen, sever your leg please, sir.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Could you repeat that? ''{Shakes head}'' I thought you just asked me to sever my leg. ''{Strong Bad shakes his leg as he says this}''

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' Sever your leg, please. It's the greatest day.

''{cut back to Strong Bad at the greenish computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' See Shandy? Now it's social satire and not just some weird crap that you watch. See you next time!

''{static cut back to Strong Bad in the chair}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And it doesn't just apply to cartoons in which I can't understand what people are saying! ''{lowers eyelids, speaks dryly}'' Which there seems to be an abundance of. ''{normal again}'' Why, you could sbemailiarize just about anything!

''{cut to [[Main Page 1]], with the old style What's New buttons and only 10 main pages. A lonely wind whistle sound effect plays throughout.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Toons! ''{the spaceship opens}''

''{cut to the Tandy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And that's why Homestar is able to breathe in the vacuum of space, Devon. Thanks for a— ''{record scratch, scene darkens and tilts}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And just watch me—

''{cut to a live action video of a hamburger}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —go to work on this hambroiger!

''{after a couple seconds, a Strong Bad figurine falls onto the burger with a splat}''

''{The Paper comes down}''

''{cut back to Strong Bad once again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow! That totally didn't work! ''{turns to face front again}'' Sbemailiarized Entertainment.

''{the logo appears, sans copyright marks, and the scene behind it fades to black}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Yeah Yeah, No, Yeah! ''{these words appear beneath the logo as Strong Bad says them}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Sbemailiarized Entertainment: Coming soon to the rest of 2009! ''{"*Coming soon to the rest of 2009" appears in the corner. The back button appears}''

''{after a few moments, the "coming soon" message fades, and cuts to Strong Bad typing at the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So that's how you could do some kinda sbemail parody, 4th wall type thing, Greggy. I think it'd be a big hit! People would be all confused like, "Wait, did he really mean it? Or did he really, ''really'' mean it?" ''{the second "really" is typed in waving, green letters}'' You know like, "Am I watching him? Or is he watching me?" Up is down! Taft is white! And hremails are sbemails! Uhhh, can you say ''{high pitched}'' mindblow?

''{cut back to the logo}''

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*This is the first time [[The Brothers Chaps]] have appeared as themselves on the website.
*The mockup of [[Main Page 1]] has only ten Main Page buttons in the corner, and the "What's New" cycles between "new toons menu", "new cartoon!", "another homepage", and "more messages". The buttons on the left are all drawn in the newer style, but the "What's New" button is done in an older, plainer style. Additionally, the "What's New" button is the only one on the page that responds to the mouse cursor.

===Remarks===
*Each time The Paper comes down during the toon, the "Email Strong Bad" link works.

===Goofs===
*The left and the lower brims of the [[Tandy]] screen glow as if not fitted in perfectly.

===Inside References===
*The list of trademarks and acronyms in the show's name includes [[LLC,,.]]
*The image of Homestar jumping is from [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].
*The Brothers Chaps have an [[Atari 2600]] sitting between them.
*Mike Chapman is wearing a [[Bear holding a Shark]] [[Store T-Shirts#tshirt_bear-shark|T-shirt]].
*Strong Bad calling the other videos "cartoons" and Matt Chapman knocking the word "CREATORS" offscreen are examples of [[Fourth Wall Break]]s, which Strong Bad acknowledges when he calls this toon a "4th Wall [[Type]] Thing".
*The Strong Bad [[Collectible Figurine]] lands in the [[Burgers|hamburger]].
*Strong Bad's pronunciation of "hamburger" is an example of [["Er" pronounced as "Oi"]].
*Strong Bad mentions [[Greg|Greggy]] as the writer of the email.
*Strong Bad mentions [[Hremails]].

===Real-World References===
*The first time the logo appears, the run of trademarks and abbreviations ends with "Esq."; the second time, this is replaced with "GQ". ''[[Wikipedia:Esquire (magazine)|Esquire]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:GQ|GQ]]'' are both men's magazines.
*"Taft" likely refers to [[president]] [[Wikipedia:William Howard Taft|William Howard Taft]].
*"See, Shandy?" is likely a reference to sea shanties.

Teen Girl Squad

2009-02-21T14:27:54Z

Homsar follower: /* Other Appearances */

[[Image:TGSMenu13.png|thumb|Teen Girl Squad menu]]
[[Image:teengirlsquad.png|thumb|The girls are looking SO GOOD!]]

'''Teen Girl Squad''' is a purposefully crudely drawn [[comic]] series, drawn on notebook paper, which centers around four stereotypical teenage girls' quest to become popular and to look "SO GOOD!", or so they say. Of course, they never appear to succeed due to being always on a different track. Its origins began in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[comic]], when a girl named Brittany asked [[Strong Bad]] to make a comic strip about her four friends. Strong Bad's spur-of-the-moment comic soon became a series of its own. In each issue, the blandly named girls — [[Cheerleader]], [[So and So]], [[What's Her Face]], and [[The Ugly One]] — perform typical teenage activities, such as going to the mall, attracting cute boys, or babysitting, but Strong Bad's overactive imagination often subjects the girls to strange and gruesome deaths. Being [[Death|killed]] doesn't seem to be a problem for the girls, however, as they always return for the next issue, or sometimes simply later in the episode. The two most popular gags in the series are the girls' catchphrase, "SO GOOD!", and the onomatopoeia used when a character dies — [[-'d]], for example: "Lathe'd!" used to describe What's Her Face's being killed by spinning near a blade. Another common gag involves the girls exclaiming something in the format [[Ow! My X!]] to express pain in an unorthodox area, such as "my most of me" or "my [[style]]".

The descriptions tend to refer to Cheerleader's spoiled nature, So and So's book-smarts, What's Her Face's awkwardness or poverty, and The Ugly One's weirdness or lack of hygiene.

*Each time the Teen Girl Squad menu page loads, the girls say something different. The message on Cheerleader's shirt also changes. The possibilities are below.
{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 style="border-collapse:collapse"

*The AhnbergHand [[font]] used for Strong Bad's handwriting contains a few European-style slashes, including lowercase 'q' which [[The Brothers Chaps]] have been known to "Americanize". However, they have not altered the European seven in the current TGS main menu.

*The page title (T33n G1rl Squ4dx0rx!!11) is Teen Girl Squad[[Wikipedia:Leet#Use of xor and zor|xorx]]!!!! in [[Internet Slang|leetspeak]].

*So and So was originally referred to as Kristen in the first issue, with the name coming from the original suggestion. Shortly afterwards, though, she is called Kristina, making it clear that Strong Bad was already forgetting the names.

*Different toons' back buttons link to different places. TGS 1-3, 8-10 and 13 link back to the Toons page while the rest links back to the TGS Menu.

*The game ''Age of Empires'' 3 has the girls' catchphrase "Sooo Good" as a cheat. The cheat activates as special feature that describes what killed something in the same fashion as most of the girls' deaths (example: Death by Musketeer is labeled "Musketeer'ed")

Portmanteaus

2008-09-07T00:44:58Z

Homsar follower: /* C */

'''[[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.

Senor Cardgage

Homsar follower: /* Quotes of the Week */

{{about|creepy mortgage broker and used car salesman}} {{for|blue [[storybook character]]|Señor}} {{for|common misuse of the Spanish word "Señor"|Senor}}

[[Image:Can_of_Peas.png|thumb|100px|{{cardgagequote}}]]
__NOTOC__
'''Senor Cardgage''' first appeared in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[kind of cool]]. He is apparently the creepy guy that lived down the street from [[The Brothers Strong]] when they were little, whose extreme sketchiness gave [[Strong Sad]] nightmares. He resembles [[Strong Bad]] somewhat, both sharing a red with black markings [[Wikipedia:Lucha libre|lucha libre]] mask for a head, green eyes, pinkish torso, boxing gloves for hands and black pants. However, he's much taller than Strong Bad. He has a round head, wears glasses, a [[mustache|beard]], and has a comb-over lock of brownish hair on the top of his head. Senor Cardgage also has a flabby belly and much longer arms. His feet are simply black, suggesting they are covered by his [[pants]].

Senor Cardgage now runs [[Senor Cardgage Mortgage|his own mortgage business]] as well as a [[Senorial Day|used car dealership]], in addition to having a job as an [[the movies|usher]]. He has also tried to market a lawn mower as an "[[concert#Easter Eggs|Intregway]]" and apparently has his own brand of shoes called "Air Cardgage", which appeared in [[diorama]]. His name is pronounced "[[Senor|Seh-nor]]", not "Seh-nyor", because his name is spelled with an "N" rather than an "[[Wikipedia:Ñ|Ñ]]". He is apparently [[Left Handedness#Ambidextrous Characters|ambidextrous]].

Some of his traits include:
* Suspiciously coming out of [[Weird Shrub|bushes and shrubs]] just as you walk by.
* Pronouncing words incorrectly (for example, he pronounces the word "loans", "lawns").
* Always carrying an old plastic [[Aldi Bag|Aldi grocery bag]] of mysterious contents.
* Loudly eating melty [[Zagnut Bars|chocolate bars]] while standing too close to you in lines.
* Smelling like [[Peas|pea soup]] (according to [[Homestar Runner]]).
* Speaking in phrases that are described by Strong Bad as "[[portmanteaus|almost one word and not quite another]]," such as "excardon me" and "exobably not".
* "Calling at you as if you were a lady," [[Gender Confusion|regardless of your gender]].

Strong Bad seems to look up to Senor Cardgage as sort of an idol or a father figure. He is constantly heard remarking on how cool he believes Senor Cardgage is and how he wishes to be that cool. In [[Senorial Day]], Strong Bad asks Senor to autograph his football and throw it to him. In [[alternate universe]], he says that his life is complete after going on a fishing trip with Senor Cardgage, and expresses joy at the thought of Senor adopting him. When he sees Senor as an usher in [[the movies]], he tells [[The Cheat]] that "someday [he's] going to be the one tearing tickets and telling folks that forty-twone will be on their lest."

However, none of the other characters seem to like him. In particular, Strong Sad still harbors fear against Senor Cardgage as evidenced in [[garage sale]]. Strong Mad also ran away in terror when Senor Cardgage asked him to retrieve his spectacles. And of course, Homestar seems annoyed with Senor Cardgage for standing too close to him in line while eating melty candy bars, and is put off by his odd catchphrases (as well as thinking he smells like pea soup).
[[Image:Candy product alley.png|thumb|Senor's possible residence]]
Even though he has a car dealership and his own mortgage company, his residence is unknown. It is suggested in [[Senorial Day]] and [[candy product]] that he is homeless, as he is shown in an [[alleyway]] sleeping in a sleeping bag and using his [[Wikipedia:Aldi|Aldi]] bag as a pillow, although in the email [[kind of cool]] Strong Bad implied that he lives behind a bush. Strong Sad said that Senor Cardgage lived down the street when they were little, implying he had a house at one point; however, there is no proof of this or of his current residence, if any. Although it is implied that he is poor, he offers to buy Strong Sad a can of peas at [[Strong Bad]]'s [[garage sale]] for $99, and then proceeds to walk away with it, supposedly paying, even though he is never seen to do so. A possible solution to this conflict has been shown in an Easter egg from the email [[love poems]], where it is revealed that Senor Cardgage has written a book called ''The Homeless Romantic'': "verses from the weird shrub and alarming recipes for brunswick stew".

When Strong Bad is asked what he would be like if he was not stylish and buff in the email [[kind of cool]], he describes Senor Cardgage who is, at least to Strong Bad, "so cool, you don't even know [that he is] cool". Strong Bad tries to represent what he would be like if he was an ugly, dumpy guy with a bad comb-over, and it turns out his fictional character actually existed and lived down the street from the Brothers Strong during their youth.

As shown in a commercial in [[theme song]], Senor Cardgage got fourteen degrees in the [[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU Online E-niversity]] during his lunch "take", including one that lets him "legally prescribe marriages in the state of Kansattica". He also runs a day care called [[Papa Cardgage's PUDDIN' PATCH]].

Senor Cardgage recently lost a Non Sequitur Championship to the equally bizarre character [[Homsar]]. As the loser of the contest, he had to complete a coherent sentence on [[The Show]] (as documented in the short [[Non-Sequitur Champion]]). He failed twice, but his third attempt ("Grape Soda Banked") was judged successful by "<s>celebrity</s> judge" Strong Sad.

Homsar follower: /* Appearances */

[[Image:Jimmyshobbykit.PNG|thumb|Look out, Jimmy!]]

'''Hollerin' Jimmy's Hobby Kit''' is a child's hobby kit sold at [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. Its total cost is "fifteen-[[tooty-two]]", which was paid by [[The Cheat]] in the form of pencil shavings. It is also a proud sponsor of "The [[Homestar Runner]] and [[Doreauxgard]] Show". The slogan is "We have no idea what's in this box!!", and, according to the side of the box, it is "not new!"

[[Image:Hovercraft.PNG|thumb|What is wrong with you people?]]
A variant on this product was seen in [[Happy Hallow-day]]. When Halloween night goes missing, [[Bubs]] attempts to sell a Hollerin' Jimmy's Hovercraft Kit as a Halloween Night Hovercraft Kit. Its slogan is "There is no way this thing really works!!"

Puking

2008-08-25T14:48:51Z

Homsar follower: /* Appearances */

[[Image:Style1.PNG||thumbnail|"I don't know whether to puke or have a seizure..."]]

On several occasions, a [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] character '''[[Wikipedia:Vomiting|pukes]]''' or mentions puking.

==Appearances==

*[[Fortune Cookies]] — A fortune cookie reads "Why not try some moldy [[bread]]. You might not vomit".
*[[Theme Song Video]] — [[The Poopsmith]] serves [[whatsit]] to [[The King of Town]], causing him to be on the verge of puking.
*[[Some Stupid Turkey]] — At the end of the toon, The King of Town turns green from eating so much Thanksgiving food.
*Email [[date]] — [[Strong Bad]] claims his [[Extra Real Dating Sim XR]] will let him see what Marzipan and Homestar are like on a date "without the risk of personal injury. Or vomiting".
*Email [[couch patch]] — [[Coach Z]]'s reason for the existence of the patch is because he puked in a rip in [[The Couch]].
*[[A Decemberween Pageant]] — When Coach Z asks where Strong Sad went, Homestar replies, "I think he might be up-chucking".
**Coach Z then asks Strong Mad to look for him. Strong Sad is seen behind a bathroom door on his knees at the toilet (although he doesn't appear to be vomiting at the time).
*Email [[theme park]] — Strong Bad says that the "Bowels of Trogdor" ride will "whip you around and around until you either throw up or catch fire somehow".
*[[Labor Dabor]] — [[Homestar Runner]] calls [[Frank Bennedetto]]'s sudden outburst of popcorn an "upchuck".
*[[Halloween Fairstival]] — Strong Bad says that [[Marzipan]]'s vegetable chorus is about to give him the "throw-ups", and he proceeds to make puking noises.
*[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]] — [[Cheerleader]] pukes at the suggested band name, "Smartly Pretty".
*Email [[secret recipes]] — After realizing he ate a bowl of sour cream and [[The Cheat]] hair, Coach Z is sickened to the point that, as he words it, he may puke his pants (which he is willing to show Strong Bad how). Strong Bad tries to "make puke" The King of Town by pretending to eat a Speed Stick. It turns out The King is already eating some, and likes it.
*Email [[bottom 10]] — Strong Bad pukes after Homestar's [[buttdance]], making his number one item "Thcleaning up your own puke off the keyboard".
*[[Sick Day]] — [[The Cheat]] is in a "[[Puke Pail]] For Him!" with puke stains on it.
*[[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]] — Homestar claims that the last bite of The King of Town's ham sandwich "nearly made me puke it right back on my plate!"
*Email [[lady fan]] — The Cheat pukes in the dryer after shocking Strong Bad.
*[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11]] — [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#Shirt Folding Store Manager|Shirt Folding Store Manager]] tells So and So that "a kid puked in dressing room 3".
*Email [[retirement]] — It is implied that the King of Town has puked on Marzipan.
*Email [[coloring]] — One of the crayons you can use in the [[Limozeen Coloring Book|coloring book Easter egg]] is called "Roadie Puke Green".
*[[Decemberween Short Shorts]] — Homestar's song mentions that if Coach Z learns to "say words right", people won't throw up so much when they talk to him. Also, during the song, Coach Z is seen sitting next to a "Puke Pail For Whoev!"
*Email [[looking old]] — Strong Bad doesn't know whether to puke or have a seizure in response to The Cheat's flashy and quickly-paced edit of the email.
*[[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]] — Strong Bad tells Coach Z that a customer service rep has puked up her microwave lasagna. In the commentary, Strong Bad mentions he used to think puke covered in sawdust was "way nastier" than just puke.
*[[Rap Song]] — The Cheat turns a little green and sounds sick after [[Coach Z]] offers him chinstrap pizza.
*[[The Poopsmith#Character Video Transcript|The Poopsmith]]'s [[character video]] — Homestar says that "The Poopsmith has taken a vow of silence". He then says "I'm about to take a vow of throwing up my cookies all over this microphone".
*Email [[pet show]] — The Cheat puts a drop of "Puke Drops" in one of the judges' drinks.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' My email song! Where would I be without my email song? ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Handling Smelly Underling?</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
I am a manager and I have been told I must talk to one 
of my underlings about their stench. As the foremost 
expert in dealing with smelly underlings, I ask you, what is 
the best way to go about this? I wish to do this with 
some tact & professionalism. 
Sincerely, 
PlasticDiverGuy 
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces each word in the greeting separately, with short deliberate pauses between them. He pronounces "Dartmouth" as two separate words, and "Scotia" phonetically as SKO-tee-uh.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Man, that show Nova is boring, but I'd watch a show called Dartmouth anyday. ''{clears screen}'' Now lemme tell ya PastyDeadGuy, you came to the right man. I've got so many underlings, I've had to deal with nearly every awkward social situation under the awkward social sun. I'm an expoit! ''{clears screen}'' Firstly, nothing says tact and professionalism like sending a subtle hint with a hilarious novelty t-shirt. So in your situation, you could just start wearing a shirt that has like,

''{Cut to a blank T-shirt}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —some kinda—

''{A scientist holding a test tube appears on the shirt.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —science person on it, with a clothespin—

''{A clothespin appears on the scientist's nose.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —on his nose, and underneath it says: "You Reek-A!"

''{"You Reek-A!" appears on the shirt. Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' That way, your smelly underling, or smunderling, can get the message from across the room, and you can safely stay out of stink's reach.

''{Cut to Strong Bad in the bathroom, reading a newspaper titled "Da News Papes". He looks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, I think I'd probably watch a TV show called "Stink's Reach", too.

''{He looks back down. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Secondly, nothing says tact and professionalism like slowly revealing a sensitive topic to a friend or loved one—

''{Cut to Strong Sad, drawing on a piece of paper with a pencil.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —with a clever connect-the-dots puzzle.

''{Cut to a closeup of the paper. It's a crocodile wearing sunglasses, holding a sign that reads "WE'RE GOING TO NEED YOU TO FLUSH TWICE!". The connect-the-dots portion is only the rectangular outline of the sign. Strong Sad stops drawing.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' What is he trying to say to me with this cryptic message? ''{taps the pencil twice on "cryptic"}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Furthermore, nothing says pact and trofesssionalism like breaking tough news to someone with a reverse sunburn—

''{Cut to the pool, slowly zooming in. A sunburned Strong Mad faces away from the pool, which Coach Z is in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —on your brother's giant, square, billboard-sized back!

''{Strong Mad lowers his singlet revealing his back which reads "your tiny bathing suit demeans us ALL!" Cut to a closeup.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{slowly}'' Your tiny bathing suit demeans us all.

''{Cut to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Aw, fine then! I'll take it orf!

''{He reaches underwater and pulls out a very small pink g-string. The water turns black around him, accompanied by an odd humming noise. Cut back to behind Strong Mad.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' PUT IT BACK ON! PUT IT BACK ON!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Lastly, nothing says tact and professionalism like a hidden message written in condiments.

''{Cut to a picnic. Homestar Runner is sitting at the table. Strong Bad is wearing an oven mitt and holding a plate with a hot dog with his right hand, and holding a bottle of ketchup in his left. Some ketchup has spilled on the ground. More hot dogs can be seen on a grill behind him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Here ya go, chumpion!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{taking the hot dog; something small and green is visible in his mouth.}'' Ooh! Thanks, grillmasta!

''{Cut to the picnic table as Homestar puts the hot dog down. It has "you've had that piece" written on it in ketchup.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You've had that piece—

''{The camera pans to another hot dog, with "of cilantro" written on in mustard.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —of cilantro—

''{The camera pans to a hamburger without its upper bun. "stuck between your teeth" is written in ketchup.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —stuck between your teeth—

''{The camera pans yet again to a waffle with "since we ate at that mexican restaurant" with an arrow written in syrup.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —since we ate at that Mexican restaurant—

''{The camera pans again to three pieces of sushi with "2" "wks" and "ago" written on them in wasabi.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —two weeks ago.

''{Cut to a closeup of Homestar, who has a small piece of cilantro stuck in his mouth}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Two weeks?!... ''TEETH?!''

''{Cut to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing, in a slightly high-pitched voice and in a forced manner}'' In conclusion, these are just some of the many things that nothing says tact and professionalism like. I hope you have enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. If elected class president, I can't promise you Coke in the water fountains, but I ''can'' promise a hard-worker that will make a difference. And try to get Mrs. Hardmaster fired.

''{He quickly clears the screen, while shaking his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing, speaking normally}'' Whoa! It's like I regressed back to the fifth grade there. And the golden days of the five-paragraph essay. Well, good luck with your smunderling, PranceyDirtGirl. I gotta get started making those 'You Reek-A' t-shirts. Those things are gonna be awesome!

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

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*The [[Wikipedia:Essay#The five-paragraph essay|five paragraph essay]] is composed of an intro paragraph, three body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Essays of this type are commonly used throughout late elementary and middle school. This e-mail roughly follows the five-paragraph essay format, but uses four body paragraphs instead of three.
*"Pact and trofessionalism" is a [[spoonerism]], the switching of the initial letters in two words of a phrase. In this case, "'''t'''act and '''p'''rofessionalism" becomes "'''p'''act and '''t'''rofessionalism".

===Trivia===
*This email was sent by wiki user [[User:PlasticDiverGuy|PlasticDiverGuy]].
*The newspaper reads:

* This email is the first email since [[looking old]] not to mention [[DNA evidence (running gag)|DNA Evidence]].
*After typing "And try to get Mrs. Hardmaster fired.", Strong Bad originally typed "for child abuse." just before clearing the screen. This was later removed for unknown reasons.
*This is the last fully functional appearance of [[The Paper]].
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad describes how to deal with awkward social situations."

===Remarks===
[[Image:Connect the dots.PNG|thumb|A cryptic message]]
*Homestar seems to be surprised at the prospect of having teeth even though they were clearly visible in [[theme song]].
*Although Strong Bad appeared to dislike long emails in [[long pants]], this email contains 59 words, 3 words longer than the said email.
*Although Strong Mad is revealed to have underwear in [[strong badathlon]], it seems to be absent when he takes off his singlet to reveal the message to Coach Z.
*In the Easter egg, the left post of the "Stink's Reach" sign is in the middle of the road.
*The scientist on the "You Reek-A!" t-shirt has eyes that are similar to Strong Sad's right eye.
*Some of the dots on Strong Sad's connect-the-dots puzzle are separated by the crocodile's mouth and hands. Strong Sad doesn't connect the dots that are separated, and simply skips over them.
*In the [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons menu]], the clip that appears on the TV when rolling the mouse over "Underlings" in New Stuff shows Homestar accepting a hot dog from Strong Bad without cilantro hanging from his "teeth."
*Although Strong Mad yells at Coach Z to put his bathing suit back on, he does not appear to turn around to see the black substance emanating into the water.
*The static on the the TV in the easter egg seems to show that the channel was changed, but Strong Bad was sleeping.

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad spells "trofesssionalism" with three S's.

===Fixed Glitches===
*When the email was first released, at the end, the "I" at the beginning of "I gotta get started..." was clickable, but did not do anything. This was fixed a few hours after the email was released.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad read [[Periodicals|Da NewsPapes]] while in the bathroom in [[candy product]].
*Strong Bad is holding a [[Quite Fancy 'Chup]] bottle (the label is obscured by his glove).
*Strong Bad refers to the emailer as "[[Prancing|Prancey]]".
*This is another instance of Strong Bad's [[couch mumbling]].
*The smunderling's fact sheet in general is very similar to [[Jhonka]]'s from [[impression]].
*This is another appearance of [[oven mitts]].
*The Smunderling's intelligence quotient is Low to Middlin', which are ways you can attack monsters in Thy Dungeonman 2.
*"Smunderling" and "chumpion" are both [[Portmanteaus]].
*Strong Bad saying "expoit" is another example of [["Er" pronounced as "Oi"]].

Homsar follower: /* Biography */

{{charnav|Strong Bad|sb|Homestar Runner|The Cheat}}
[[Image:currentbad.png|thumb|The ramblin' wreck of email-check!]]
== Biography ==

'''Strong Bad''' is one of the most well-known characters in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work. He started out as the villain who tried to cheat his way to the top but was always doomed to fail before [[Homestar Runner]]. In the manner that minor characters become [[Wikipedia:breakout character|breakout characters]], he's now less of a villain and more of a highly expanded form of comic relief, with his irascible sarcasm and rough voice seeming to make him ever more popular with fans of the website.

He answers [[Strong Bad Email|emails]] with a passion, and will [[Poorly Written Emails|make fun]] of their grammar, punctuation, and spelling—although he's not overly worried about [[Strong Bad's Spelling|his own]]. He also hates to be asked about [[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|how he manages to type with boxing gloves on]]. He usually does what he does best when he gets an e-mail like that: '''[[DELETED|DELETED!!]]''' He also writes, illustrates, and narrates the series of [[Teen Girl Squad]] comics.

Strong Bad is the middle child of [[The Brothers Strong]]. His is the dominant personality and he loves to push everyone around: he's often abusing Homestar, [[Kicking The Cheat|kicking]] [[The Cheat]], [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|prank-calling]] [[Marzipan]], or [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship|tormenting]] [[Strong Sad]] (although it's been hinted that they [[The Secrets That I Keep|got along]] when they were younger). Although he seems to dislike or positively loathe most people, he enjoys the company of [[Bubs]], The Cheat (his ever-diligent lackey), [[Strong Mad]] (his older brother), and, [[Strong Bad and Pom Pom's Relationship|to a lesser extent]], [[Pom Pom]].

[[Image:Baby strong bad.png|thumb|"That freakin' duck swallowed both my pixels!"]]
He has boxing gloves for hands (which always have square window reflections on them, no matter where he is), round green eyes and a red with black markings [[Wikipedia:Lucha libre|lucha libre]] mask for a head (as confirmed in [[some kinda robot]]). Although he claims that his mask is his face, he once removed it in the [[the chair]]. This act caused him a lot of pain but no lasting visible damage. His mouth is rectangular, though it often becomes round when he says words with the letter "o". Most of the time, Strong Bad's mouth is in a slight frown, but there are occasions where he [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]]. He also wears black pants (with [[underwear]] underneath) and red boots. He usually doesn't wear a [[Strong Bad Wearing A Shirt|shirt]]; according to him, it's better to [[suntan|show off his abs]]. The blue diamond on his face also gives him the power to open [[Cold One]]s mentally and even pop Homestar's hat off his head; however, this seems to have been abandoned, as it was only demonstrated in [[super powers]].

Strong Bad rules the land of [[Strong Badia]], a barren field behind the [[Wikipedia:Dumpster (term)|dumpsters]] that is completely devoid of any sentient life. His favorite saying is (or was for a time) "[[Crap|holy crap]]", though he hates when people use the word crap when [[Crapfully Yours|signing emails]]. He frequently mangles words, as seen in [[army]]. ("We're a one man army. Er, a three man one-y. [[Three-to-One Marny|Three-to-one-marny]]?") It has also been [[road trip|implied]] that he wets the bed, a fact that he attempts to [[Blatant Lies|cover up]] with little success. However, he seems to sleep instead on the couch in his [[Basement of the Brothers Strong|basement]], frequently mumbling video game titles as he wakes surrounded by bags of [[Potate]]. Strong Bad also seems to collect [[eggs]], as seen in [[morning routine]], and he keeps them in [[The Couch]].

Strong Bad talks a big line, claiming to be a criminal mastermind, a [[Exaggerated Strong Bad|muscle man]], and totally popular with the [[Strong Bad's Ladies|ladies]], though there is little evidence of any of these claims, and no shortage of evidence that they are all untrue. Strong Bad refuses to acknowledge this however, and continues unaffected with his delusions of grandeur. He is convinced that Marzipan likes, or has a crush on, him when in fact she "[[marzipan|really doesn't like him at all]]." Due to his delusional opinions about himself, much of what Strong Bad says is [[Blatant Lies|obviously untrue]]. But Strong Bad also seems to state that he is uncool as seen in [[pizzaz|the email pizzaz]].

He loves to listen to [[Limozeen]], [[Taranchula]], and [[Peter Frampton]]. He seems to dislike any band that isn't considered [[Heavy Metal|metal]], as seen towards the end of [[concert]]. His favorite show is [[Caleb Rentpayer]]. He also enjoys doing [[caper|Jumble puzzles]] and [[The Interview|baking]]. His love for [[Strong Bad's Technology|older technology]] such as cassette tapes, command prompt computers, old video games and laserdiscs, and the titles of events such as "[[monster truck|Awexome Cross '98]]", and "[[TrogdorCon '97]]" suggest that Strong Bad is "living in the past". Despite his love of the nineties, he seems to despise and destroy anything from any previous decade, like [[Wikipedia:8-track cartridge|8-Tracks]], TVs that lost their essence in the '70s, and the [[Nintendo#Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)|Nintendo Entertainment System]].

[[Image:StrongBad 3D variation.PNG|thumb|Check out all 3 of my glorious D's]]

Strong Bad has sung many hit singles, his most popular being "[[Everybody to the Limit]]". He also stars as the protagonist in the blockbuster action series "[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]".

He works with Homestar and The Cheat at an [[The Office|unnamed tech company]], though despite this fixed income, he seems to have financial troubles, and often attempts money making solutions of questionable legitimacy and [[other days|burns his bills]] with his [[BMW Lighter]]. His financial troubles might be partly due to his high electric bill, which he claims to be $70,000 in [[environment]]. His dream job, as stated in [[from work]], is to be a 2nd 2nd assistant space whale scrubber.

Strong Bad is somewhat prejudiced; he has been [[sb_email 22|banned from the UK]], and often [[little questions|ridicules non-English speakers]] on their e-mails. In [[Homestar Ruiner]], Strong Bad says that he hates the Swedes and later makes jokes at their expense, though he did say he should get married to the sender of [[magic trick]], possibly partly because she's Swedish. He also does not get on well with [[Dislike of Old People|old people]] or [[for kids|children]], although he claims to have children of his own, including Jeffrey Beffrey Mudgeman, at [[Trailer Home|his second secret home]] where he goes by the name [[Secret Identities#Vance Mudgeman|Vance Mudgeman]]. He doesn't appear to care much for those children either, or perhaps he does and truly believes that "you got to be firm."

As evidenced in [[stand-up]], Strong Bad once did [[Wikipedia:standup comedy|stand-up comedy]] as a kid. He apparently wasn't very good, as he tried to make up jokes instead of using natural comedy or rehearsed jokes. However, he doesn't like talking about his act, because his pants fell down in front of the audience, and he ran away embarrassed.

''{Strong Bad is seen standing next to several wooden props, including one of Homestar Runner with a snake wrapped around his head. He is moving some of the props around.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Hold on, I'm not done with the props yet! ''{turns to camera}'' Greetings, party people in the place to be! I am called Strong Bad! Hand over all your moneys in a paper and/or plastic bag! Ladies, form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high fives! Like I said, I'm Strong Bad. I've been described as cool, awesome, hot, video games, the hottest, and real real hot. Me and my big brother and our The Cheat pretty much run the show around here, as well as serve as a sort of multi-purpose criminal element. Yeah, we got a lot of—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Ahe-he-hem.

'''STRONG BAD''': What are you doing here?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Well, I was gonna get a high five, but, I see that I'm already here. And with a snake on my head!

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, that's right. So I'm gonna have to charge you double. You know, since you're both here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': That sounds reasonable! ''{pronounces it re-ZON-able}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Okay, I only accept gold nuggets. Or maybe Denver Nuggets. ...Whatever you got on ya. Chicken nuggets.

===Fun Facts===
*"Party peoples in the place to be!" is a reference to an [[Wikipedia:Ultramagnetic MC|Ultramagnetic MC]] song called "Ego Trippin'", during which before the song, the announcer says, "Party peoples in the place to be! Just for you, it's the Ultramagnetic MCs!"
*The [[Wikipedia:Denver Nuggets|Denver Nuggets]] are a professional [[Wikipedia:National Basketball Association|NBA]] basketball team.

== Strength ==
[[Image:StrongBadPushups.png|thumb|Strong Bad by name, but not by nature.]]
There is highly conflicting evidence regarding Strong Bad's strength. For the most part, it is implied that Strong Bad is actually very weak and out of shape and that "Strong Bad" is merely his name and not an accurate description: In the email [[lady fan]], he is unable to do even a single push-up, and states that he used to be able to do only four. In addition, the paper on Strong Bad's desk in the [[Homestar Quiz]] reads "Strong Bad isn't so strong after all. If he tried hard, which of the following could he lift?", and lists the choices as "an ounce", "a week", "a weak", and "pepper". Strong Sad has stated on [[Strong Sad's Lament|his blog]] that Strong Bad's punches do not hurt, compared against Strong Mad's that do. On the other hand, in the email [[car]], Strong Bad demonstrates the ability to punch Homestar hard enough to hit and crack the wall, and in the email [[secret identity]], he literally tosses both Homestar and the King of Town out of his house. He can also easily pick up and carry the supposedly 42-pound [[Lappy 486]], and is quite adept at [[kicking The Cheat]] (hinted in [[Where's The Cheat?]] to weigh about 18 pounds). In the email [[lady...ing]], Strong Bad picks up and throws an anvil. It is possible that, like Homestar's "[[Lack of Visible Arms|arms]]", Strong Bad's true strength may be purposely ambiguous.

== Fun Facts ==
[[Image:Strong Bad Eyes Closed.PNG|thumb|With both eyes shut]]
*Strong Bad and Strong Mad, and their original role as tag team wrestlers, came from the [[Nintendo]] video game [[Wikipedia:Tag Team Wrestling|Tag Team Wrestling]] created by Data East U.S.A. in 1986. In this game, one of the teams is called "The Strong Bads."

*As evidenced in the e-mail [[your funeral]], it appears that his eyes will turn black after he dies.
*He has never completely closed his mouth, and he supposedly has a green tongue.

*When he is sleeping, he [[Couch Mumbling|mumbles]] names of famous SNES games, such as Super Contra or Chrono Trigger.

**Of all the characters' lines on the website, he also has the most lines and the largest collection of [[Quote of the Week|quotes]] for a character.
*Strong Bad hopes to become a 2nd 2nd Assistant Space-Whale scrubber.

Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters

2008-08-23T00:56:19Z

Homsar follower: /* Sir Hotbod Handsomeface */

Some characters make a very brief appearance in [[Teen Girl Squad]], often hurting one of the girls. Usually they are never seen again, but in the [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10|10th Issue special]], many of these characters made cameo appearances at [[The Ugly One]]'s Sweet Someteen Birthday Bash.

|[[Image:The Helicopter.PNG|150px|Bang-bang-bang!]] ||
=====A Helicopter=====
This helicopter attacked some [[The Birds|birds]] with a [[Guns|machine gun]]. Surprisingly, this aircraft was the first object to be seen harming living creatures in the entire series, yet its victims did not include one of the girls.
|-
| [[Image:Dinosaur.PNG|150px|Bend It Like Beckhamasaurus Rex]] ||

=====The Dinosaur=====
The [[dinosaur]] punted [[What's Her Face]] across the cartoon. Just after this, she was heard to remark, "Dag, yo." She is presumed to have died upon landing. The dinosaur also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza, where it was revealed to have bloody teeth.

=====Cloud Monster=====
As the girls go to look so good, a cloud in the background grows angry eyes and a mouthful of sharp teeth. It then quickly chomps on some [[The Birds|birds]].
|-
|[[Image:paul no I in team.png|150px|No "I" in dead either]] ||

=====No "i" in team boy=====
This boy goes out with [[So and So]], which causes her friends to get jealous. When So and So mentions that she's totally crushing, the boy gets hit by a delivery truck (driven by [[Arrow'd Guy]]) marked "'''CHILDREN'''". He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza. He appears again, silhouetted, in an Easter egg in the email [[death metal]].

||

=====The Vulture and the Bat=====
The Vulture swooped [[The Ugly One]] when she got jealous of [[So and So]]'s getting the "No 'i' in team boy" to date her. The Bat grasped [[Cheerleader]] for the same reasons as the vulture.

The sun turned into a buzzsaw, and chopped up some [[The Birds|birds]] in this episode.
|-
|[[Image:Thrift Store Girl.PNG|150px|Boy or girl?]] ||
=====Thrift Store Person=====
This person is found at the thrift store that [[What's Her Face]] shopped at, where she stays behind a rack of shirts, holding a sign that reads, "1 or 2 cent each item." In the [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]] DVD commentary, Strong Bad says that she is a "homeless woman."
|-
|[[Image:Possum Attack.PNG|150px|"Poooosssssummmmms...!"]] ||

=====Possums=====
A wave of possums, announced by a menacingly voiced "Poooosssssummmmms...!" attacked [[What's Her Face]] as she walked home from the thrift store. They got her dirty and tore her clothing, but didn't kill her. When she met up with the other girls, one possum was seen still attacking her. The possum attack apparently made [[What's Her Face]]'s blood hurt. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.

|- bgcolor=#eeeeee

|-
| [[Image:Pierced Heart.PNG|150px|Cupid strikes back]] ||
=====Brett Bretterson=====
Brett is an imaginary person whom So And So made up in first grade. He is mentioned in Teen Girl Squad Issues 4 and 10. Ignoring her friends' denial of Brett's reality, So And So interacts with "Brett" as if she could actually see and hear him. This causes the other girls to be weirded out. Brett and So And So were going to study together when their plans were ended abruptly when So and So fell in the Fighting Growlbacks [[Bottomless Pits|Bottomless Spirit Pit]].

So And So is in love with Brett, and when she thinks of him hearts appear over her head. One of them grew a face just as it was pierced with an arrow.

In the tenth episode, So And So states that she and Brett Brett[[Names Ending in -erson|erson]] are "Splitsville".

Brett may or may not be a real person, too; he is listed in the [[best thing#Credits listed|credits]] for [[Limozeen: "but they're in space!"]] as the "Worst animator". Strong Bad confirms this in the [[best thing#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]] for [[best thing]].
|-
| [[Image:quarterback.png|150px|Quarterbacktofront]] ||

=====Quarterman=====
The quarterback for the Fighting Growlbacks is a target of the affections of [[Cheerleader]]. He dismisses her with the quip "How's about you get some brains?" This causes Cheerleader to get CEREBELLUM'D by [[Arrow'd Guy]]'s Giant Brain Mech (see below). He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.

At the end of [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 14]], he confesses that he has a crush on The Ugly One, and asks her out.
|-
|[[Image:Cerebellumed Cheerleader.PNG|150px|Cerebellum'd!]] ||

=====Giant Brain Mech=====
The Giant Brain Mech is a giant [[brain]] with lips and an eye patch. It is apparently mechanical, because [[Arrow'd Guy]] can be seen controlling the brain under a glass dome. The brain CEREBELLUM'D! [[Cheerleader]] when Quarterman suggested that she should go get some brains.

{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=4 style="border-collapse:collapse"
|- bgcolor=#eeeeee

|-
|[[Image:perchingbird.png|150px|PERCH!]] ||
=====Fat Bird=====
The fat bird is first seen in Issue 5, perched on the "meanwhile, ON VACATION" sign in the transition scene. Later in the cartoon, when The Ugly One gets nervous and sticks her head in the sand, the fat bird flies down and perches on her side. The bird doesn't seem to do anything after that. It just sits there with its tongue hanging out for the rest of the cartoon.
|-
| [[Image:oldaboys.png|150px|Lying around...]] ||
=====Olda Boys=====
The olda boys are college boys that were at the vacation beach with Cheerleader, So and So, and The Ugly One. One misses video games, but the other misses his mom even more. They combine their sayings in a way that synchronizes with the background music in an Easter egg. The spiky-haired one earned a [[Quote of the Week#QW-2004-03-08|Quote of the Week]]. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:Famous or Cool Guys.PNG|150px|Cool or famous]] ||

=====[[Wikipedia:Henry Rollins|Henry Rollins]], [[Wikipedia:Abraham Lincoln|Abraham Lincoln]], and [[Wikipedia:George Washington|George Washington]]=====
These are the "cool or famous" people who look at the nervous The Ugly One and then parasail with So and So. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza. There, Henry Rollins was revealed to be an odd red color, a likely reference to [http://21361.com/site_2004/watch_listen.html the music video for "Liar"] (from the album ''Weight''--Henry Rollins Band, Imago Records 1994).

|- bgcolor=#eeeeee
! Image !! Description
|-
|[[Image:giftexchangelion.png|150px|Now with more 3-legged action!]] ||
=====Gift Exchange Lion=====
This [[lion]], who seems to be missing a leg, appears in Decemberween Teen Girl Squad. Cheerleader, So and So, and The Ugly One all dive into its mouth in pursuit of [[Decemberween]] presents, but What's Her Face declines on the grounds that she is vegan. For some reason the [[Teen Girl Squad Locations#Inside the Lion|inside of the lion]] looks like the inside of a whale. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:smileyfaceman.png|150px|A nose from the happy judge]] ||

=====Smiley Face Man=====
This happy fellow is a judge in the Decemberween Teen Girl Squad. He and the other two judges (who are both [[Arrow'd Guy]]) TWO'D The Ugly One for her cannonball into the Gift Exchange Lion's mouth. He rates Cheerleader's dive into the lion's mouth a "nose" along with the other judges. Noticeable is the fact that he can move his arms along his skinny body. His "shoulder" is not visible until he lifts up the sign. Little else is known about this person, or what the value of a "nose" is in competitive Lion's mouth jumping. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:hawiianguy.png|150px|Singing about babies]] ||

=====Hawaiian Guy=====
This musician wears a Hawaiian shirt and plays a ukulele. He sang "Wave o' Babies" as a wave of babies appeared. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
| [[Image:Wave of Babies.PNG|150px|A virtual tsunami of infants.]] ||

=====Wave o' Babies=====
These babies are in a giant wave that crashed into What's Her Face. They are seen caving onto What's Her Face, but the actual crash is not shown. It is possible that the wave just swept past without stopping. This is further supported by the fact that after the crash, only two babies are visible clinging onto What's Her Face, while all the others are gone. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:gazelle carcass half-digested.PNG|150px|Bonus: Half-Digested!]] ||
=====Gazelle Carcass=====
This half-digested animal is presented by [[The Ugly One]] at the very end of Decemberween Teen Girl Squad to [[Cheerleader]], to her dismay. All of the other girls seem to be pleased at the sight of the dead animal, despite the negative aspects of decomposing carcasses.

|-
|[[Image:squished fatman.PNG|150px|Squished.]] ||
=====Fat Man=====
He's a fat man who wears a singlet similar to Strong Mad's. He fell down a slide and squished Teeny Tiny Cheerleader while she was throwing a tantrum. He bears a resemblance to pro wrestler [[Wikipedia:King Kong Bundy|King Kong Bundy]] and performs the [[Wikipedia:King Kong Bundy#Finishing and signature moves|Bundy Splash]], one of his signature moves.
|-
| [[Image:billbellamy.png|150px|The bell tolls for thee]] ||

=====Bill Bellamy=====
This is the bell seen in Issue 7 in the Teeny Tiny Girl Squad's [[Teen Girl Squad Locations#Diaper School|preschool]]. His role is similar to that of the Intercom, but specific relationship details are unknown. He bears the same name as actor and comedian [[IMDB:nm0004740|Bill Bellamy]].

|- bgcolor=#eeeeee

|-
|[[Image:TGS Intercom.png|120px|Who's that hiding in the wheel?]] ||
=====Intercom=====
The intercom is a feature of the Teen Girl Squad's school. As it is hanging up high in the girls' classroom, it is responsible for announcing things like the school lunch and commands. Later in the cartoon, the Intercom is seen mounted on a robot body, hosting the Battle of the Bands. It introduced the bands "Fatty's Big Chance" and the Teen Girl Squad "[[Kissyboots]]." It also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party on its stand, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza, nursing a martini.
|-
|[[Image:floortommed.png|150px|Floor Tom, the evil drum]] ||

=====Floor Tom=====
When [[The Ugly One]] does her 16-hour drum solo, she was rudely interrupted by an evil '''[[Wikipedia:Floor tom|floor tom]]''' when it FLOOR TOMMED her by biting her top half off. This was just one of three events that stopped her drum solo, as she was also STEP-MOMMED and [[Pom Pom|POM-POMMED]].
|-
|[[Image:stepmom.jpg|150px|"YOU LITTLE BRATS BEST SHUT YER YAPS!!!"]] ||

=====Mrs. So-and-so-erson=====
Mrs. So-and-so-[[Names ending in -erson|erson]] is [[So and So]]'s "step-mom". "She" resembles [[Arrow'd Guy]] in lipstick and a jogging suit; it's debatable whether she is in fact the same person. As [[Cheerleader]] states, she has questionable taste, which is agreed upon by [[What's Her Face]] after observing the many jogging suits in her [[Mrs. So-and-so-erson's Walk-in Closet|walk-in closet]]. She "STEP-MOMMED" [[The Ugly One]] by pouring ranch dressing on her during her 16-hour drum solo. When she talks, her speech balloon has three tails, with only one coming from her mouth. Apparently, her name is Judith, as seen in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11|Issue 11]].
|-
|[[Image:FattysBigChance2.png|150px|Consider it Picked!]] ||

=====Fatty=====
Fatty is the sole member of the one-man saxophone band, "Fatty's Big Chance." He played before Kissyboots in the Battle of The Bands. With his [[Wikipedia:Two Tone|two tone]] suit and rousing chant of "pick it up, pick it up," Fatty is a [[Wikipedia:Ska|ska]] machine. He also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:Trollswantautograph.PNG|150px|KRA'AGH!]] ||

=====Trolls=====
The trolls enter So and So's dressing room while [[So and So]] is preparing for the Battle of the Bands. In their native tongue, they ask her for her autograph. Apparently So and So can understand them, and is happy to oblige. But before she could sign, she was TWELVE-SIDED DIED!, inexplicably by a 20-sided die. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza. One of the trolls appears again, silhouetted, in an Easter egg in the email [[death metal]].
|-
|[[Image:whatsherfacesshark.PNG|150px|A seaworthy bass]] ||

=====A Shark=====
At the Battle of the Bands, [[What's Her Face]]'s bass guitar suddenly transforms into a shark, causing her to comment "My bass feels seaworthy". The shark then bites off the upper half of her body. "Ahhh! My most of me!" she laments.

Amazingly, the shark can also play a mean bass even without fingers. Cheerleader keeps him on to play backup and the remaining member(s) of Kissyboots finish the performance respectably. Alas, after the song ends, the shark can be heard snacking on Cheerleader.

=====Learner's Permit Girl=====
This girl first appears in Teen Girl Squad Issue 9. She is not a very good driver, and ends up DRiVER'S ED'ED...DEADing Cheerleader. On the plus side, she gives Strong Bad a ride to Babbage's. She also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:SciFiGreg.png|120px|He knew she'd come back to him]] ||

=====Science Fiction Greg=====
Science Fiction Greg is an old boyfriend of What's Her Face. ''See main article: [[Science Fiction Greg and D N'D Greg]].''
|-

=====Friends of Science Fiction Greg=====
Putative friends of Science Fiction Greg. They listen patiently as he brags about his relationship with What's Her Face and his experience points. The character on the left bears a resemblance to an overweight character often found in Gary Larson's [[Wikipedia:Far Side|Far Side]] cartoons.
|-

=====Vultures=====
When [[Mr. Pitters]] tries to join the Teen Girl Squad, these fiendish birds tell him that he "ain't no Teen Girl" before eating him at a fancy dinner. According to the second vulture, Mr. Pitters tastes "quite good, quite good." They may be an evolution of the vulture from Issue 2. They also appeared in the sweet someteenth birthday party, part of the Tenthennial Extravaganza.
|-
|[[Image:Port-O-John.png|150px|Starring Johnny Rite There as some sort of king.]] ||
=====Port-O-John=====
Port-O-John is a [[Wikipedia:portable toilet|portable outhouse]] that came to life by growing eyes, a nose, a mustache, a mouth, hands and feet. A sign on his side reads ''Johnny Rite There''. It put on a play with So and So once Cheerleader died in Teen Girl Squad Issue 9. It didn't get very good reviews, however, and he is injured--perhaps killed--by [[Arrow'd Guy]] when a spear enters his frontside after penetrating So and So.

=====A Mighty Warrior=====
A tiny [[Wikipedia:Samurai|samurai]] armed with a [[Wikipedia:Naginata|naginata]] who bursts twice from corn-based products: "corn and corn alone" and corn chips. Both times he does so because they are "no place for a mighty warrior." After emerging from the corn chips, he lathe'd a spinning What's Her Face in two with his naginata. He also appeared in an Easter egg for [[myths & legends]], fighting the corn army.

|[[Image:Coach and olympic man.png|150px|We're not sure what they're talking about either.]] ||

=====Olympic Man and Coach=====
A lonely pair at the "Olympic Race," Olympic Man and Coach prepare for some type of sporting event after being ditched by Cheerleader. Coach apparently brings this about by telling Cheerleader over the phone that "the olympics are soooo dumb!", though Coach vehemently denies this to his well-muscled companion, who seems to have no hands.

Olympic Man reappears in [[#Issue 13|Issue 13]] as [[#Peacey P|Peacey P]]'s bodyguard, with the text on his shirt blurred out. When The Ugly One asks for Peacey P's autograph, he dangles (and ultimately drops) her from a hotel balcony into a bayonet tailgate party.

The Coach reappears in [[#Issue 14|Issue 14]] as the gym teacher for the girls' school. When Cheerleader, The Ugly One, and What's Her Face refuse to take their gym final, he gives them all A's.

=====Scotsmen=====
This "uppaclass" trio of burly, bearded, kilted Scots were drinking a frothy brew from a keg marked "XXX" when they were interrupted by Cheerleader's flirtation. Predictably, she was rejected and caber-tossed only 23 metres away for her efforts.

=====Sir Hotbod Handsomeface=====
One of [[Strong Bad]]'s many [[Exaggerated Strong Bad|exaggerated alter egos]]. He looks like an extremely chiseled construction worker. He makes an appearance when [[The Ugly One]] becomes hot, and Strong Bad imagines meeting her. After Sir Hotbod begins [[Making Out|making out]] with The Ugly One, Strong Bad himself begins to do the same to the piece of loose-leaf they were drawn on, much to the disgust of onlookers [[Strong Mad]], [[Strong Sad]], and [[The Cheat]]. A sketch of him was in the [[Sketchbook 2008|Sketchbook]] once.

The manager is the only character in episode 11 not drawn in black and white. Her hair and face are constructed from a [[:Image:Mary-Kate.jpg|magazine photo]] of [[Wikipedia:Mary-Kate Olsen|Mary-Kate Olsen]].

|-

=====Astronaut=====
The astronaut suddenly appears in Shirt Folding Store and punches out the manager, his justification being that she killed his dog. His voice is distorted by the loudspeaker system built into his suit, and he starts each sentence with "Ckhk" as he turns it on. He has a cape and can fly.

=====Raccoon Girl=====
Raccoon Girl is What's Her Face's bunkmate at the camp. She is weak and emaciated, feels unloved, and needs heavy medication, lest she "go into a coma".
The overall concept of a "raccoon girl" may be derived from the fact that girls wearing heavy black eyeliner may be seen as "raccoon-like".
|-
|[[Image:FatMan.png|150px|Not his wife!]] ||

=====Customer=====
A customer at Shirt Folding Store. He needs a present for his wife for their anniversary. He coughs so much that So and So thinks that the present is for his coughiversary.

|-
|[[Image:GotCamp.png|150px|Scha-wing!]] ||

=====Camp Counselor Shortshorts=====
Camp Counselor Shortshorts is trying really hard not to be thought of as a square by What's Her Face and The Ugly One by using random "youthful" quotes. He only succeeds in winning over the girls by singing a song with them. He then meets his end at the hands of Maniac in a Speedo. He is the only character in the series to be decapitated.
|-
|[[Image:Bear.png|150px|He stapled it down!]] ||

=====Chumbly Wumbly Bear=====
The Chumbly Wumbly Bear is the subject of the song that the girls sing with the counselor. According to the song, he "came a tumblin' down", but sold neither [[beans]] nor [[eggs]] - he couldn't, wouldn't and shouldn't. Instead, he "stapled it down".

|-

=====Maniac in a Speedo=====
Maniac in a Speedo comes in at the end of the "Chumbly Wumbly Bear" song. As seen, he wears a paper bag to hide his face and uses a chainsaw to do his bidding. He cut The Ugly One and What's Her Face in half and did a number on Camp Counselor Shortshorts as well.

=====Band Name Boys=====
These are the two boys from whom [[What's Her Face]] attempts to acquire a Valentine's Day card. They enjoy talking about band names; What's Her Face observes this and tells them she likes music, as well as cloth. One of the boys is surprised that she likes cloth, but the other thinks "she likes cloth" is a good band name. In an [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 12#Easter Eggs|Easter egg]], a CD cover with the name "she likes cloth" is shown, along with the top of the Band Name Boys' heads.
|-
|[[Image:MrsEmbalmo.png|150px|Dea'd!]] ||

=====Mrs. Embalmo=====
Mrs. Embalmo is the one lunchlady who did not give The Ugly One a card for Valentine's Day. This is probably because there's nothing left of her but a creaking skeleton. She sports a hairnet and may have spiders living in her head, as evidenced by the spiderweb between her skull and the lunch-display glass.

=====Class Prez=====
Class Prez has a "technological romance" with Cheerleader by text messaging her from a few feet away, but is dismayed when she tells him he is "less than B". His phone model, "CRKR" (short for "Cracker"), is a play on the Motorola cellular phone KRZR. The name itself is also a play on the recent naming of cell phones after foods like the LG Chocolate and the BlackBerry. This could also explain why the phone has a bite taken out of it. He is skewered by the USB Dongle Goblin.

So and So overreacts to their presence, but What's Her Face invites them in. They resemble police officers [[Wikipedia:List of recurring characters from The Simpsons#Eddie and Lou|Eddie and Lou]] from [[The Simpsons]]. One of them seems to be attracted to Momkins.

=====Brainkrieg=====
Seen in [[death metal]], Brainkrieg is a death metal band in [[Strong Bad]]'s imagination that seems to use all of the wrong "d-e" words in their song (deli-style, dentist). They also frequently use the phrase "Jugga jigga wugga". They have a large, poorly drawn audience watching their performance. Cheerleader seems to be a fan—she comes for the wuggas, but stays for the jiggy juggas. They also received last place in The Battle of the Crappy High School Bands. Apparently, their music is popular with rats, as on two different occasions during the [[Homestar Ruiner Teen girl Squad|issue]] featured in [[Homestar Ruiner]], rats are attracted to the girls whenever a Brainkrieg ringtone plays.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' A-just scrape some email off the top, and I'll help you out toniiiight!

<blockquote class="lappy email"><div>subject: the chair.</div>
D to the ear Strong Bad, That chair you're sitting on doesnt look very comfortable. When are you going to get a new, less hardwood, big, office manager-style comfy computer chair? Yours truely, Keith, PA</blockquote>

''{pronounces "D to the ear" as "Duh to the ear", "doesnt" as "dohs-n-t" (with extra emphasis at the end of the word), and "truely" as "treh-leh", and reads "Keith, PA" as "Keith and Pa"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh! It's a father-son email picnic! ''{typing}'' Y to the ou ''{pronounced "Yeah to the oo"}'' don't know ''what'' you're talkin' about, Pakeithpsy. Stooly here is a tush-cheek's dream. So cottony squish and pillowy fresh. ''{Zoom out to show Strong Bad leaping off of the stool.}'' Take a look-see!

''{Zoom in to the seat, which is filthy and has the word "STANK" seeping out of it at various spots.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, it's been upgraded to Stank...

''{A face fades onto the seat of the stool and coughs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Eeew... Maybe it ''is'' time for a re-imagining of my email-checkin' chair...

'''STOOLY:''' ''{coughs again}'' I just need a lozenge...

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing outside Bubs' Concession Stand, with the camera centered behind Bubs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Bubs!

'''BUBS:''' Hey, customer!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What do you got in the way of things I can sit on whilst I check emails?

''{cut to the front of the concession stand}''

'''BUBS:''' Ooh! Lucky for you! I just got ''{places a box on the counter}'' this pre-owned box of chicken beaks in just now! Like ''right'' just now!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay. Okay. Okay... But, you got anything less anthrax-y?

'''BUBS:''' I got this old Winger album! ''{holds up the record case}''

''{cut to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, yeah... that ''is'' less Anthrax-y. But I was kinda hoping for a chair of some kind.

''{cut to Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' Step right into my showroom!

''{Bubs slides away to his right. Cut to the side of Bubs' Concession Stand. As Strong Bad walks around, a portion of the wall falls outward, revealing a conveyor belt. Bubs rides on it standing on one foot.}''

'''BUBS:''' Zzzzziiiiiiiip! ''{jumps off conveyor belt}'' All right! We'll start at the tip, and work our way to the tup!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You make less sense every day, Bubsy.

'''BUBS:''' Crabadonk!

''{The wall flips back up, then falls down again, revealing a red, white and blue bicycle seat on the conveyor belt.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, that's no chair! ''{zoom in on the seat}'' That's Red, White, and Banana! My old bicycle seat!

''{Cut to a [[Projections|film-projected]] scene of Li'l Strong Bad riding the bicycle seat outside a porch.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I used to ride that thing on my paper route all the time!

''{Li'l Strong Bad lights a newspaper on fire with a [[BMW Lighter|Duplo lighter]] and throws it at the house. As it bounces off the door, the door begins to emit smoke, and Li'l Strong Bad laughs. Cut back to Strong Bad and Bubs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, I'd better pass on that. I had a few too many wipeouts on that thing as a kid.

'''BUBS:''' Ugh! You nasty!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

''{The wall rises again, and falls down with a chair shaped like Homestar Runner on it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What makes you think I want to check-a my email on a Homestar Runner-shaped chair?

'''BUBS:''' Aw, come on. Give it a try!

''{Strong Bad jumps onto the chair}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER CHAIR:''' Ow.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{jumping out of the chair}'' Wah!

'''BUBS:''' Whoops, seen enough of that one!

''{The wall rises and falls with a deformed gray lump vaguely resembling a chair.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, your snowman died!

'''BUBS:''' ''{cut to closeup of Bubs}'' You simpleton! This is a Danoob Largo original!

''{Cut to the chair. A Styleron Ecochair logo appears.}''

'''BUBS:''' The Styleron Ecochair!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{pan up to Strong Bad}'' Look, I don't care how Swedish your chair is. I have no need for a giant ''{pan back to the chair}'' albino doggie-doody.

'''BUBS:''' ''{cut to Bubs}'' Always a hit at parties...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{cut back to Strong Bad}'' Come on, Bubs! Don't you have anything more... ''executive''? A chair that will intimidate my underlings and eliminate my overlings!

'''BUBS:''' Ooh! ''{Cut back to the wide shot of Strong Bad and Bubs, the wall is already up.}'' Lucky for you! I just got this pre-owned—

''{The wall falls, displaying the same box of chicken beaks seen earlier.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{interrupting}'' ''NOT'' ''{The conveyor belt immediately rises.}'' a box of chicken beaks!

'''BUBS:''' Oh. Then behold!

''{The conveyor belt falls again, revealing a large leather chair, which obscures Strong Bad as it rolls out. The chair glows and a chorus sounds briefly, and a golden "Le Restige" plaque appears.}''

'''BUBS:''' Le Restige! ''{He pronounces "le" as "leh"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{appears from behind the chair}'' Style ''and'' class! Oh, tell me that leather's Corinthian! Just ''tell'' me it's Corinthian!

'''BUBS:''' ''{cut to closeup of Bubs}'' Crabadonk!

''{Cut to a closeup of Strong Bad, who is now sitting on the chair.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So what kind of options are we looking at on this baby?

'''BUBS:''' Ooh! You're gonna love this!

''{Bubs opens a compartment in the arm rest to reveal a red button and presses it, making a buzzing sound. A pair of metallic arms appear from behind Strong Bad and quickly slip a pair of gray sweatpants on him}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No way! A sweatpants button! And so begins my meteoric rise to the top of the corporate ladder... Now alls we gotta do is see how well it checks emails!

''{Cut back to the computer room, with Le Restige taking up nearly the entire screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Hey, hey, hey. It's email.

''{opens an email which is almost completely obscured by the chair}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading email}'' Dear Strong Bad, how come you never take your mask off? ''{typing}'' Like I've said before, ''this'' is not a mask. It's my face. But hey, I'll give it a shot!

''{Strong Bad tugs on his mask until it comes off, and ripping fabric is heard as he does this. He raises the mask above the chair and screams for a few seconds, then puts it back on again, making gurgling noises throughout.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh! I am NEVER gonna do that again! And, here's a picture of my parents. ''{holds up a photo; only the corner is visible above the chair.}''

''{Cut to a wide shot of the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And now time to unwind with a pair of executive sweatpants!

''{Strong Bad opens the compartment in the same arm rest and pushes the sweatpants button, making the buzzing sound again. The robotic arms go haywire and begin piling sweatpants onto him)

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, What's going on here?!! Uh!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

''{Strong Bad is tossed into the air. He falls down with several layered sweatpants on his legs and another pair on his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{groaning}'' Ooooh... so... many... sweatpants... I can't feel my parts...

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

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*A [[wikipedia:Throat lozenge|lozenge]] is a small medicated candy intended to be dissolved slowly in order to soothe an irritated throat.
*"What does Strong Bad look like without his mask?" and "What do the [[parents]] of the characters look like?" are two commonly submitted questions [[The Brothers Chaps]] have stated that they are [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#Pre-animation Process - 4:05 p.m.|not likely ever to answer seriously]].

===Trivia===
[[Image:Sb mask.PNG|right|thumb|150px|...when viewed with a decompiler]]
*This is another instance of [[Strong Bad checking more than one email]].

<blockquote>
'''MATT:''' I sing that "Can you handle my style no you can't handle my style" song a lot. I think maybe I sang it ''before'' it was a Strong Bad Email song even.

Homsar follower: /* Biography */

{{charnav|Strong Bad|sb|Homestar Runner|The Cheat}}
[[Image:currentbad.png|thumb|The ramblin' wreck of email-check!]]
== Biography ==

'''Strong Bad''' is one of the most well-known characters in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work. He started out as the villain who tried to cheat his way to the top but was always doomed to fail before [[Homestar Runner]]. In the manner that minor characters become [[Wikipedia:breakout character|breakout characters]], he's now less of a villain and more of a highly expanded form of comic relief, with his irascible sarcasm and rough voice seeming to make him ever more popular with fans of the website.

He answers [[Strong Bad Email|emails]] with a passion, and will [[Poorly Written Emails|make fun]] of their grammar, punctuation, and spelling—although he's not overly worried about [[Strong Bad's Spelling|his own]]. He also hates to be asked about [[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|how he manages to type with boxing gloves on]]. He usually does what he does best when he gets an e-mail like that: '''[[DELETED|DELETED!!]]''' He also writes, illustrates, and narrates the series of [[Teen Girl Squad]] comics.

Strong Bad is the middle child of [[The Brothers Strong]]. His is the dominant personality and he loves to push everyone around: he's often abusing Homestar, [[Kicking The Cheat|kicking]] [[The Cheat]], [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|prank-calling]] [[Marzipan]], or [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship|tormenting]] [[Strong Sad]] (although it's been hinted that they [[The Secrets That I Keep|got along]] when they were younger). Although he seems to dislike or positively loathe most people, he enjoys the company of [[Bubs]], The Cheat (his ever-diligent lackey), [[Strong Mad]] (his older brother), and, [[Strong Bad and Pom Pom's Relationship|to a lesser extent]], [[Pom Pom]].

[[Image:Baby strong bad.png|thumb|"That freakin' duck swallowed both my pixels!"]]
He has boxing gloves for hands (which always have square window reflections on them, no matter where he is), round green eyes and a red with black markings [[Wikipedia:Lucha libre|lucha libre]] mask for a head (as confirmed in [[some kinda robot]]). Although he claims that his mask is his face, he once removed it in the [[the chair]]. This act caused him a lot of pain but no lasting visible damage. His mouth is rectangular, though it often becomes round when he says words with the letter "o". Most of the time, Strong Bad's mouth is in a slight frown, but there are occasions where he [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]]. He also wears black pants (with [[underwear]] underneath) and red boots. He usually doesn't wear a [[Strong Bad Wearing A Shirt|shirt]]; according to him, it's better to [[suntan|show off his abs]]. The blue diamond on his face also gives him the power to open [[Cold One]]s mentally and even pop Homestar's hat off his head; however, this seems to have been abandoned, as it was only demonstrated in [[super powers]].

Strong Bad rules the land of [[Strong Badia]], a barren field behind the [[Wikipedia:Dumpster (term)|dumpsters]] that is completely devoid of any sentient life. His favorite saying is (or was for a time) "[[Crap|holy crap]]", though he hates when people use the word crap when [[Crapfully Yours|signing emails]]. He frequently mangles words, as seen in [[army]]. ("We're a one man army. Er, a three man one-y. [[Three-to-One Marny|Three-to-one-marny]]?") It has also been [[road trip|implied]] that he wets the bed, a fact that he attempts to [[Blatant Lies|cover up]] with little success. However, he seems to sleep instead on the couch in his [[Basement of the Brothers Strong|basement]], frequently mumbling video game titles as he wakes surrounded by bags of [[Potate]]. Strong Bad also seems to collect [[eggs]], as seen in [[morning routine]], and he keeps them in [[The Couch]].

Strong Bad talks a big line, claiming to be a criminal mastermind, a [[Exaggerated Strong Bad|muscle man]], and totally popular with the [[Strong Bad's Ladies|ladies]], though there is little evidence of any of these claims, and no shortage of evidence that they are all untrue. Strong Bad refuses to acknowledge this however, and continues unaffected with his delusions of grandeur. He is convinced that Marzipan likes, or has a crush on, him when in fact she "[[marzipan|really doesn't like him at all]]." Due to his delusional opinions about himself, much of what Strong Bad says is [[Blatant Lies|obviously untrue]]. But Strong Bad also seems to state that he is uncool as seen in [[pizzaz|the email pizzaz]].

He loves to listen to [[Limozeen]], [[Taranchula]], and [[Peter Frampton]]. He seems to dislike any band that isn't considered [[Heavy Metal|metal]], as seen towards the end of [[concert]]. His favorite show is [[Caleb Rentpayer]]. He also enjoys doing [[caper|Jumble puzzles]] and [[The Interview|baking]]. His love for [[Strong Bad's Technology|older technology]] such as cassette tapes, command prompt computers, old video games and laserdiscs, and the titles of events such as "[[monster truck|Awexome Cross '98]]", and "[[TrogdorCon '97]]" suggest that Strong Bad is "living in the past". Despite his love of the nineties, he seems to despise and destroy anything from any previous decade, like [[Wikipedia:8-track cartridge|8-Tracks]], TVs that lost their essence in the '70s, and the [[Nintendo#Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)|Nintendo Entertainment System]].

[[Image:StrongBad 3D variation.PNG|thumb|Check out all 3 of my glorious D's]]

Strong Bad has sung many hit singles, his most popular being "[[Everybody to the Limit]]". He also stars as the protagonist in the blockbuster action series "[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]".

He works with Homestar and The Cheat at an [[The Office|unnamed tech company]], though despite this fixed income, he seems to have financial troubles, and often attempts money making solutions of questionable legitimacy and [[other days|burns his bills]] with his [[BMW Lighter]]. His financial troubles might be partly due to his high electric bill, which he claims to be $70,000 in [[environment]]. His dream job, as stated in [[from work]], is to be a 2nd 2nd assistant space whale scrubber.

Strong Bad is somewhat prejudiced; he has been [[sb_email 22|banned from the UK]], and often [[little questions|ridicules non-English speakers]] on their e-mails. In [[Homestar Ruiner]], Strong Bad says that he hates the Swedes and later makes jokes at their expense, though he did say he should get married to the sender of [[magic trick]], possibly partly because She's Swedish. He also does not get on well with [[Dislike of Old People|old people]] or [[for kids|children]], although he claims to have children of his own, including Jeffrey Beffrey Mudgeman, at [[Trailer Home|his second secret home]] where he goes by the name [[Secret Identities#Vance Mudgeman|Vance Mudgeman]]. He doesn't appear to care much for those children either, or perhaps he does and truly believes that "you got to be firm."

As evidenced in [[stand-up]], Strong Bad once did [[Wikipedia:standup comedy|stand-up comedy]] as a kid. He apparently wasn't very good, as he tried to make up jokes instead of using natural comedy or rehearsed jokes. However, he doesn't like talking about his act, because his pants fell down in front of the audience, and he ran away embarrassed.

'''STRONG BAD''': Hold on, I'm not done with the props yet! ''{turns to camera}'' Greetings, party people in the place to be! I am called Strong Bad! Hand over all your moneys in a paper and/or plastic bag! Ladies, form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high fives! Like I said, I'm Strong Bad. I've been described as cool, awesome, hot, video games, the hottest, and real real hot. Me and my big brother and our The Cheat pretty much run the show around here, as well as serve as a sort of multi-purpose criminal element. Yeah, we got a lot of—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Ahe-he-hem.

'''STRONG BAD''': What are you doing here?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Well, I was gonna get a high five, but, I see that I'm already here. And with a snake on my head!

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, that's right. So I'm gonna have to charge you double. You know, since you're both here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': That sounds reasonable! ''{pronounces it re-ZON-able}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Okay, I only accept gold nuggets. Or maybe Denver Nuggets. ...Whatever you got on ya. Chicken nuggets.

===Fun Facts===
*"Party peoples in the place to be!" is a reference to an [[Wikipedia:Ultramagnetic MC|Ultramagnetic MC]] song called "Ego Trippin'", during which before the song, the announcer says, "Party peoples in the place to be! Just for you, it's the Ultramagnetic MCs!"
*The [[Wikipedia:Denver Nuggets|Denver Nuggets]] are a professional [[Wikipedia:National Basketball Association|NBA]] basketball team.

== Strength ==
[[Image:StrongBadPushups.png|thumb|Strong Bad by name, but not by nature.]]
There is highly conflicting evidence regarding Strong Bad's strength. For the most part, it is implied that Strong Bad is actually very weak and out of shape and that "Strong Bad" is merely his name and not an accurate description: In the email [[lady fan]], he is unable to do even a single push-up, and states that he used to be able to do only four. In addition, the paper on Strong Bad's desk in the [[Homestar Quiz]] reads "Strong Bad isn't so strong after all. If he tried hard, which of the following could he lift?", and lists the choices as "an ounce", "a week", "a weak", and "pepper". Strong Sad has stated on [[Strong Sad's Lament|his blog]] that Strong Bad's punches do not hurt, compared against Strong Mad's that do. On the other hand, in the email [[car]], Strong Bad demonstrates the ability to punch Homestar hard enough to hit and crack the wall, and in the email [[secret identity]], he literally tosses both Homestar and the King of Town out of his house. He can also easily pick up and carry the supposedly 42-pound [[Lappy 486]], and is quite adept at [[kicking The Cheat]] (hinted in [[Where's The Cheat?]] to weigh about 18 pounds). In the email [[lady...ing]], Strong Bad picks up and throws an anvil. It is possible that, like Homestar's "[[Lack of Visible Arms|arms]]", Strong Bad's true strength may be purposely ambiguous.

== Fun Facts ==
[[Image:Strong Bad Eyes Closed.PNG|thumb|With both eyes shut]]
*Strong Bad and Strong Mad, and their original role as tag team wrestlers, came from the [[Nintendo]] video game [[Wikipedia:Tag Team Wrestling|Tag Team Wrestling]] created by Data East U.S.A. in 1986. In this game, one of the teams is called "The Strong Bads."
*Apparently, Strong Bad is able to survive, stand up, and even talk, with a hole blasted in his head, as shown in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] and the email [[lady...ing]].
*As evidenced in the e-mail [[your funeral]], it appears that his eyes will turn black after he dies.
*He has never completely closed his mouth, and he supposedly has a green tongue.
*Strong Bad was originally conceived as a masked wrestler because in their childhood, The Brothers Chaps viewed masked wrestlers as the embodiment of evil, making them an ideal choice for an antagonist.
*As seen by [[Lil' Strong Bad]] and in [[highschool]], his head seems to become more oval-shaped as he grows older.
*When he is sleeping, he [[Couch Mumbling|mumbles]] names of famous SNES games, such as Super Contra or Chrono Trigger.
*Strong Bad's head moves around a lot more when he speaks facing away from the camera than when he speaks facing towards it. This is true even when he [[Main Page 23|thinks he is facing the camera]].
*As of 18 March 2007, Strong Bad has the highest complete filmography of all the characters on the website, appearing in 320 toons.
**Of all the characters' lines on the website, he also has the most lines and the largest collection of [[Quote of the Week|quotes]] for a character.
*Strong Bad hopes to become a 2nd 2nd Assistant Space-Whale scrubber.
*Strong Bad has a [["Er" pronounced as "oi"|habit]] of pronouncing certain words with an "uhr" sound the way a stereotypical New Yorker would pronounce them (e.g. he says "soivice" instead of "service" in [[lackey]]).
*As evidenced in [[from work]] and [[business trip]], Strong Bad is currently employed.
*At his fastest, Strong Bad types approximately 240 [[Wikipedia:Typing#Words per Minute|words per minute]] (in a segment in [[death metal]]).

[[Image:currentbad.png|thumb|The ramblin' wreck of email-check!]]
== Biography ==

'''Strong Bad''' is one of the most well-known characters in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work. He started out as the villain who tried to cheat his way to the top but was always doomed to fail before [[Homestar Runner]]. In the manner that minor characters become [[Wikipedia:breakout character|breakout characters]], he's now less of a villain and more of a highly expanded form of comic relief, with his irascible sarcasm and rough voice seeming to make him ever more popular with fans of the website.

He answers [[Strong Bad Email|emails]] with a passion, and will [[Poorly Written Emails|make fun]] of their grammar, punctuation, and spelling—although he's not overly worried about [[Strong Bad's Spelling|his own]]. He also hates to be asked about [[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|how he manages to type with boxing gloves on]]. He usually does what he does best when he gets an e-mail like that: '''[[DELETED|DELETED!!]]''' He also writes, illustrates, and narrates the series of [[Teen Girl Squad]] comics.

Strong Bad is the middle child of [[The Brothers Strong]]. His is the dominant personality and he loves to push everyone around: he's often abusing Homestar, [[Kicking The Cheat|kicking]] [[The Cheat]], [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|prank-calling]] [[Marzipan]], or [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship|tormenting]] [[Strong Sad]] (although it's been hinted that they [[The Secrets That I Keep|got along]] when they were younger). Although he seems to dislike or positively loathe most people, he enjoys the company of [[Bubs]], The Cheat (his ever-diligent lackey), [[Strong Mad]] (his older brother), and, [[Strong Bad and Pom Pom's Relationship|to a lesser extent]], [[Pom Pom]].

[[Image:Baby strong bad.png|thumb|"That freakin' duck swallowed both my pixels!"]]
He has boxing gloves for hands (which always have square window reflections on them, no matter where he is), round green eyes and a red with black markings [[Wikipedia:Lucha libre|lucha libre]] mask for a head (as confirmed in [[some kinda robot]]). Although he claims that his mask is his face, he once removed it in the [[the chair]]. This act caused him a lot of pain but no lasting visible damage. His mouth is rectangular, though it often becomes round when he says words with the letter "o". Most of the time, Strong Bad's mouth is in a slight frown, but there are occasions where he [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]]. He also wears black pants (with [[underwear]] underneath) and red boots. He usually doesn't wear a [[Strong Bad Wearing A Shirt|shirt]]; according to him, it's better to [[suntan|show off his abs]]. The blue diamond on his face also gives him the power to open [[Cold One]]s mentally and even pop Homestar's hat off his head; however, this seems to have been abandoned, as it was only demonstrated in [[super powers]].

Strong Bad rules the land of [[Strong Badia]], a barren field behind the [[Wikipedia:Dumpster (term)|dumpsters]] that is completely devoid of any sentient life. His favorite saying is (or was for a time) "[[Crap|holy crap]]", though he hates when people use the word crap when [[Crapfully Yours|signing emails]]. He frequently mangles words, as seen in [[army]]. ("We're a one man army. Er, a three man one-y. [[Three-to-One Marny|Three-to-one-marny]]?") It has also been [[road trip|implied]] that he wets the bed, a fact that he attempts to [[Blatant Lies|cover up]] with little success. However, he seems to sleep instead on the couch in his [[Basement of the Brothers Strong|basement]], frequently mumbling video game titles as he wakes surrounded by bags of [[Potate]]. Strong Bad also seems to collect [[eggs]], as seen in [[morning routine]], and he keeps them in [[The Couch]].

Strong Bad talks a big line, claiming to be a criminal mastermind, a [[Exaggerated Strong Bad|muscle man]], and totally popular with the [[Strong Bad's Ladies|ladies]], though there is little evidence of any of these claims, and no shortage of evidence that they are all untrue. Strong Bad refuses to acknowledge this however, and continues unaffected with his delusions of grandeur. He is convinced that Marzipan likes, or has a crush on, him when in fact she "[[marzipan|really doesn't like him at all]]." Due to his delusional opinions about himself, much of what Strong Bad says is [[Blatant Lies|obviously untrue]]. But Strong Bad also seems to state that he is uncool as seen in [[pizzaz|the email pizzaz]].

He loves to listen to [[Limozeen]], [[Taranchula]], and [[Peter Frampton]]. He seems to dislike any band that isn't considered [[Heavy Metal|metal]], as seen towards the end of [[concert]]. His favorite show is [[Caleb Rentpayer]]. He also enjoys doing [[caper|Jumble puzzles]] and [[The Interview|baking]]. His love for [[Strong Bad's Technology|older technology]] such as cassette tapes, command prompt computers, old video games and laserdiscs, and the titles of events such as "[[monster truck|Awexome Cross '98]]", and "[[TrogdorCon '97]]" suggest that Strong Bad is "living in the past". Despite his love of the nineties, he seems to despise and destroy anything from any previous decade, like [[Wikipedia:8-track cartridge|8-Tracks]], TVs that lost their essence in the '70s, and the [[Nintendo#Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)|Nintendo Entertainment System]].

[[Image:StrongBad 3D variation.PNG|thumb|Check out all 3 of my glorious D's]]

Strong Bad has sung many hit singles, his most popular being "[[Everybody to the Limit]]". He also stars as the protagonist in the blockbuster action series "[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]".

He works with Homestar and The Cheat at an [[The Office|unnamed tech company]], though despite this fixed income, he seems to have financial troubles, and often attempts money making solutions of questionable legitimacy and [[other days|burns his bills]] with his [[BMW Lighter]]. His financial troubles might be partly due to his high electric bill, which he claims to be $70,000 in [[environment]]. His dream job, as stated in [[from work]], is to be a 2nd 2nd assistant space whale scrubber.

Strong Bad is somewhat prejudiced; he has been [[sb_email 22|banned from the UK]], and often [[little questions|ridicules non-English speakers]] on their e-mails. In [[Homestar Ruiner]], Strong Bad says that he hates the Swedes and later makes jokes at their expense. He also does not get on well with [[Dislike of Old People|old people]] or [[for kids|children]], although he claims to have children of his own, including Jeffrey Beffrey Mudgeman, at [[Trailer Home|his second secret home]] where he goes by the name [[Secret Identities#Vance Mudgeman|Vance Mudgeman]]. He doesn't appear to care much for those children either, or perhaps he does and truly believes that "you got to be firm."

As evidenced in [[stand-up]], Strong Bad once did [[Wikipedia:standup comedy|stand-up comedy]] as a kid. He apparently wasn't very good, as he tried to make up jokes instead of using natural comedy or rehearsed jokes. However, he doesn't like talking about his act, because his pants fell down in front of the audience, and he ran away embarrassed.

''{'''Page Title:''' Get ready for the new!}'' ''{'''Place:''' [[Strong Badia]]}''

''{Strong Bad is seen standing next to several wooden props, including one of Homestar Runner with a snake wrapped around his head. He is moving some of the props around.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Hold on, I'm not done with the props yet! ''{turns to camera}'' Greetings, party people in the place to be! I am called Strong Bad! Hand over all your moneys in a paper and/or plastic bag! Ladies, form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high fives! Like I said, I'm Strong Bad. I've been described as cool, awesome, hot, video games, the hottest, and real real hot. Me and my big brother and our The Cheat pretty much run the show around here, as well as serve as a sort of multi-purpose criminal element. Yeah, we got a lot of—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Ahe-he-hem.

'''STRONG BAD''': What are you doing here?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Well, I was gonna get a high five, but, I see that I'm already here. And with a snake on my head!

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, that's right. So I'm gonna have to charge you double. You know, since you're both here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': That sounds reasonable! ''{pronounces it re-ZON-able}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Okay, I only accept gold nuggets. Or maybe Denver Nuggets. ...Whatever you got on ya. Chicken nuggets.

===Fun Facts===
*"Party peoples in the place to be!" is a reference to an [[Wikipedia:Ultramagnetic MC|Ultramagnetic MC]] song called "Ego Trippin'", during which before the song, the announcer says, "Party peoples in the place to be! Just for you, it's the Ultramagnetic MCs!"
*The [[Wikipedia:Denver Nuggets|Denver Nuggets]] are a professional [[Wikipedia:National Basketball Association|NBA]] basketball team.

== Strength ==
[[Image:StrongBadPushups.png|thumb|Strong Bad by name, but not by nature.]]
There is highly conflicting evidence regarding Strong Bad's strength. For the most part, it is implied that Strong Bad is actually very weak and out of shape and that "Strong Bad" is merely his name and not an accurate description: In the email [[lady fan]], he is unable to do even a single push-up, and states that he used to be able to do only four. In addition, the paper on Strong Bad's desk in the [[Homestar Quiz]] reads "Strong Bad isn't so strong after all. If he tried hard, which of the following could he lift?", and lists the choices as "an ounce", "a week", "a weak", and "pepper". Strong Sad has stated on [[Strong Sad's Lament|his blog]] that Strong Bad's punches do not hurt, compared against Strong Mad's that do. On the other hand, in the email [[car]], Strong Bad demonstrates the ability to punch Homestar hard enough to hit and crack the wall, and in the email [[secret identity]], he literally tosses both Homestar and the King of Town out of his house. He can also easily pick up and carry the supposedly 42-pound [[Lappy 486]], and is quite adept at [[kicking The Cheat]] (hinted in [[Where's The Cheat?]] to weigh about 18 pounds). In the email [[lady...ing]], Strong Bad picks up and throws an anvil. It is possible that, like Homestar's "[[Lack of Visible Arms|arms]]", Strong Bad's true strength may be purposely ambiguous.

== Fun Facts ==
[[Image:Strong Bad Eyes Closed.PNG|thumb|With both eyes shut]]
*Strong Bad and Strong Mad, and their original role as tag team wrestlers, came from the [[Nintendo]] video game [[Wikipedia:Tag Team Wrestling|Tag Team Wrestling]] created by Data East U.S.A. in 1986. In this game, one of the teams is called "The Strong Bads."
*Apparently, Strong Bad is able to survive, stand up, and even talk, with a hole blasted in his head, as shown in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] and the email [[lady...ing]].
*As evidenced in the e-mail [[your funeral]], it appears that his eyes will turn black after he dies.
*He has never completely closed his mouth, and he supposedly has a green tongue.
*Strong Bad was originally conceived as a masked wrestler because in their childhood, The Brothers Chaps viewed masked wrestlers as the embodiment of evil, making them an ideal choice for an antagonist.
*As seen by [[Lil' Strong Bad]] and in [[highschool]], his head seems to become more oval-shaped as he grows older.
*When he is sleeping, he [[Couch Mumbling|mumbles]] names of famous SNES games, such as Super Contra or Chrono Trigger.
*Strong Bad's head moves around a lot more when he speaks facing away from the camera than when he speaks facing towards it. This is true even when he [[Main Page 23|thinks he is facing the camera]].
*As of 18 March 2007, Strong Bad has the highest complete filmography of all the characters on the website, appearing in 320 toons.
**Of all the characters' lines on the website, he also has the most lines and the largest collection of [[Quote of the Week|quotes]] for a character.
*Strong Bad hopes to become a 2nd 2nd Assistant Space-Whale scrubber.
*Strong Bad has a [["Er" pronounced as "oi"|habit]] of pronouncing certain words with an "uhr" sound the way a stereotypical New Yorker would pronounce them (e.g. he says "soivice" instead of "service" in [[lackey]]).
*As evidenced in [[from work]] and [[business trip]], Strong Bad is currently employed.
*At his fastest, Strong Bad types approximately 240 [[Wikipedia:Typing#Words per Minute|words per minute]] (in a segment in [[death metal]]).

==Transcript==

''{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...

''{A black transition screen with the word "and" appears}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' and

''{Cut to Strong Bad opening tube socks on The Couch}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man!

''{The black transition screen with the word "and" reappears}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' and

''{Cut to Strong Bad opening tube socks in his cubicle with Homestar smiling and a Decemberween tree made out of pushpins and a flyer on the wall that reads, "D'screetret Santa Today!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This present of tube socks totally sucks and I hate it!

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

'''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.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER ORNAMENT:''' Ooh, man. I feel de-licious!

''{Zoom in on the Homestar Runner ornament, which is an iced gingerbread cookie}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER ORNAMENT:''' Does anybody here know if it is either illegal or unethical to wanna eat yourself?

''{Zoom back out}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN ORNAMENT:''' I sure hope not!

'''STRONG BAD ORNAMENT:''' Eww! Shut up, king... or I'll stuff you full of coal!

''{Zoom in on the King of Town ornament.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN ORNAMENT:''' That wouldn't be so bad! A little onion salt,

''{A picture of "The King of Town's Last Three Items in the Pantry Special!" descends}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN ORNAMENT:''' ...some hot sauce... wouldn't be the first time!

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

'''BUBS ORNAMENT:''' Hey, Coach Z! Don'tcha think it's about time you updated that photograph?

''{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.

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

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angrily}'' Well, whaddaya know? ''{Zoom out; The Homestar Runner has one leg sticking up in the air}'' What ''do'' they have on your planet?

'''RUMBLE RED:''' Oh, not much. Long lines. Expensive bread. Rumble-doo.

''{Old-Timey Marzipan walks in with a bundle of dynamite with a ticking timer.}''

'''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!

''{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.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Dear Argyle Socks, 

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

''{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:''' Maybe ''you'' were. Well, have a good holiday. You doing anything special?

'''COACH Z:''' Aww, totally. I'm havin' all kinds of real people over to my house for a coupla real people parties. Don't you worry about me. I am nat a loser.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's great, Coach Z! Well I... ''{Coach Z is no longer in sight}'' Coach Z? Coach Z?

''{A locker opens up, revealing Coach Z laying upside down with empty [[Listerine]] bottles and stubble on his face.}''

'''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:''' ''{singing offscreen}'' ...not throw up so much when they talk to you!

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, that'd be nice!

''{Homestar Runner appears against a yellow background of Coach Z's logo, wiggling horizontally across the screen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' Now listen to me. It's almost Decemberween,

''{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.

'''COACH Z:''' I collect those!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' And when you're talking to a pretty girl...

''{"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:''' ''{singing 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!

'''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]].
*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]].

===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.

===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.

('''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.
