'''Page Title:''' Compy Compé

==Transcript==
{{transcriptinprogress|Soiled Bargains}}
''{The typical shot of Strong Bad at his computer, which is now, of course, the Compé. As it did in [[Compy Catalog]], the logo, which is in lowercase, has "com" in [[Fonts#Westminster|Westminster]], with a gold, pixelated shine, and "pé" is in another italic, serif font, with a silver pixelated shine. This logo pops-up slowly and fades in while a shine appears in the background. The computer sighs as well, and at one point the entire logo shines from left to right, and when reaching the "é" sparkles the accent mark. The logo then retracts itself and fades-out. Shortly afterward, the screen is replaced with a desktop. The wallpaper is a shot of grass (where focus is on the bottom-left corner). There is only one (pixelated) icon on the desktop; on the top-left corner, which shows Strong Bad's head in an envelope, and it is titled "sbemail.exe". A pixelated cursor is seen on the bottom.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Hey!'' Who taped the full-color photo to my computer screen? ''{rubs the screen}'' It won't come off!

''{cut to wider shot. The Cheat is standing next to Strong Bad.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''What?'' ''{turns towards and points to the Compé}'' Those are actual graphics? ''{turns back to The Cheat}'' ''And'' I can change it to be whatever I want? ''{Turns back towards the Compé}'' ''{singing}'' Oh, best thing ever! ''{Cut back to the tight shot}'' Best thing ever! ''{He moves the mouse and right clicks the screen. A contextual menu appears with the items, from top to bottom, "Options", "Sounds", "Icons", and "Change Desktop".}'' ''{quickly and mumbled}'' this is the best thing ever! ''{Strong Bad moves the mouse northeastward and hovers over the The colors on this option invert. Strong Bad clicks the "Change Desktop" option, and the grass wallpaper is replaced by an image of Strong Bad dancing in [[The Basement]]. It is a close-up of Strong Bad's butt, which has a lens flare on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rapping}'' To check my email, all gotta do is click. All that old typin' made my boxing gloves sick. ''{Double clicks on a "sbemail.exe" icon. An email pops-up.}''

<blockquote class="compe">
Dear Strong Bad, 
Does Strong Badia ever host an independent film festival? 
-=Evil Gif=- 
Phoenix, Arizona
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "a hideous growth on my butt festival?" instead of "an independent film festival?" he corects himself by saying "Err...wait. Independent film festival?" to which he then mumbles "Sorry about that. I get those to mixed up." Instead of "Evil Gif", he says "Evil Moms choose Evil Gif" {Pronounced as "jiff". He will pronounce this the same way later. He pronounces "Phoenix" as "fee-niz" and "Arizona" as "arik-sona".}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Gif, the short answer is no. The ''long'' ''{Not typed in italic}'' answer is ''{Forcefully, after a shot pause.}'' NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! ''{After a short delay, he types these four exclamation marks.}'' ''{normally}'' Independent films are called that for a reason: they are ''independent'' of anything ''good'' ''{Not typed in italic}''.

''{Clears screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And these days, they seemed to be locked in a civil war that will hopefully end in the extermination of both sides. I am, of course talking about independent films versus ''{Types "vs."}'' indie films. "What's the diff?" you may ask? ''{Types a period. He speaks the following quickly.}'' Because apparently you're in a big hurry. ''{Goes back to a normal pace}'' Well, it's as plain as ''{Cut to split shot of Strong Sad in his room with an old film-reel camera at his eye, and Pom Pom in the field with a bottle of water, which he is looking at.}'' Strong Sad and Pom Pom ''{Strong Sad lowers the camera and looks towards the viewer Pom Pom faces towards the camera as well.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubble noises}''

''{The left side of the half, Strong Sad's side, expands to take up the entire screen. We can now see a poster on his wall that reads "DON'T CRY" with a figure on it. There is a dead plant on a square pillar to which Strong Sad is now looking at, and pointing his camera, to.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Sad is on the independent film side. ''{Strong Sad moves the camera, which has been in his right hand, to the right, where he presses two buttons of some sort. He is now looking at the camera, which is pointed at the plant again.}'' He's the lifer artist-type that went to film school.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I minored in holding on wide shots for too long!

''{There is a two to three second pause.}''

''{Cut to a movie theater screen. A few empty seats are shown on the bottom. On the screen is a black and white movie that consists of the dead plant Strong Sad was filming. There appears to be two puzzle pieces in front of the pot. The film zooms into what appears to be the shadow of the square pillar.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And he's making some ''boring'', very personal, ''no budget'' film.

''{Cut to a close-up Strong Sad in his room, still with the camera.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Actually, I've succeeded in going ''lower'' than no budget! I'm making a the world's first faux-budget film! The entire thing's being financed with ''{He pulls up several colored pieces of paper.}'' Monopoly money!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And, best of luck to you.

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Pom Pom on the other hand, represents ''indie'' films. The slicker, catchier name they came up with that seems to perform better in the 18 to 24 demo.

''{Cut to Pom Pom in a director's chair facing the film. There is a digital studio camera to the left of him on a tripod. There is a coffee maker on a desk to the right with cups to the left of it. On the right of his chair there is a traditional megaphone. "POM-POM" is stenciled in on the chair. He is talking on his cell phone, with sunglasses it appears, and is holding a water bottle.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{off screen}'' He's a tech-savvy hipster whose dad owns his own studio, {''The logo for the studio appears in a corner-curved square (which has a shadow). The name of the studio is "Pom Pictures".}'' and relies on using middle names ''{The stenciled name on the director's chair changes to "POM THOMAS POM" with a popping sound.}'' and/or initials ''{The stencil then changes to "J. POM THOMAS POM"}'' to somehow ''{The stencil changes again to "J. POM THOMAS C. POM".}'' solidify indie cred ''{The final edit to the stencil, "J. WILLIAM POM THOMAS C. POM" appears on the director's chair.}'' He'll ''{There is then a cut to what appears to be a three-ring binder}'' spend a 30 million dollar budget ''{The three-ring binder opens to a page explaining the budget}'', trying as hard as he can to make it ''look'' like he only spent a few hundred thousand.

''{Cut to the movie theater as seem earlier. A penciled and colored animating drawing of the studio logo is shown.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on "OOOoooooooo!" to see the poster and tagline of cyber.coma.static.
*Also, click on "hideous growth on my butt" to see a filming session with Homestar and Strong Sad.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Graphics Interchange Format|.gif]], [[Wikipedia:Tagged Image File Format|.tif]], [[Wikipedia:Portable Network Graphics|.png]] and [[Wikipedia:Truevision TGA|targa]] are all [[Wikipedia:Raster graphics|raster]] image file formats.

===Remarks===
*The Monopoly Money that Homestar Runner is given is the incorrect color. In actuality, pink is for $5 bills, and green is for $20 bills.
*Pom Pom's name is misspelled as "Pom-Pom" on his chair.

===Goofs===
*When [[The Cheat]] walks up the first time, and the camera zooms out, the sbemail.exe icon disappears.
*When Strong Bad types "I am, of course talking about...", he leaves out a comma after "of course".

===Fixed Goofs===
*When Strong Bad said, "Pom Pom on the other hand", he failed to type "the". This was fixed later after release.

===Inside References===
* Strong Bad has a picture of his [[big butt]] for the wallpaper.
* Strong Bad raps about how [[How do you type with boxing gloves on?|typing made his boxing gloves sick.]]
* The image of Lan Handermannek comes from [[Comic Book Movie]].
* The characters on ''city (comma) state'' title screen are traces of [[Mike Chapman]] and [[Missy Palmer]].
**[[Mike Chapman]] also plays the character in the ''Cyber.Coma.Static''.
* The band, "She Likes Cloth", originates from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 12]]
* [[Gold|Gold bars]] appear in this email.
* Strong Sad is seen [[Strong Sad Smiling|smiling]].
*Strong Bad admits that he took the email in a [[Emails Taken in a Different Direction|different direction]].

===Real World References===
* The animated intro in Pom Pom's indie movie is a reference to films which use hand-drawn style opening credit sequences, such as [http://www.shadowplaystudio.com/juno/ this one] from [[Wikipedia:Juno (film)|Juno]].
* "Evil Moms choose Evil Gif" is a play on [[Wikipedia:Jif (peanut butter)|Jif peanut butter]] tag line, "Choosy Moms choose Jif".
*The word "presents" on Pom Pom's film closely resembles the [[Wikipedia:Friendly's|Friendly's]] logo.

{{HRWiki talk:FAQ/arctoc}}

__TOC__

== Editing Problems ==

The "Edit Button" on a page I'm creating has gome away but I want to add more. What do I do?
:There should be an edit tab at the tippy-top of the page regardless of there not being an [edit] button. Hope this helps. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 04:27, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

== Email Tryouts: Pass or Fail? ==

How do I know if I officially passed of failed. I just got a reply that said '''Pa-pa-pa-pass'''. Is this an official pass or just an opinion?

:...Are we talking about the email tryouts on Fanstuff? If so, here is not the place. You should bring it up on the Email tryouts talk page. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 00:24, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

== UTC ==

What does (UTC) mean?
:Coordinated Universal Time. More information [[Wikipedia:Coordinated Universal Time|
here]]. [[User:Hagurumon|Hagurumon]] 00:28, 2 June :2007 (UTC)

== How can you tell? ==

I was wondering, how can you tell if people are sysops?
:Go [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]] for a list of sysops. [[User:Hagurumon|Hagurumon]] 03:21, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

== "Reverted edit N by User (Talk) (reason)" ==

I see this particular message all the time in edit histories, usually when someone reverts vandalism. However, unless I type it out manually and go to find the edit number myself, I never seem to get that message when I go to revert. Is that message the result of some sysop-only feature? Or is it a button or automatic function I've somehow missed? Just curious. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 21:09, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

:That's the "undo revision" feature, [[HRWiki:Upgrade to MediaWiki 1.9#Undo revision|new in MediaWiki 1.9]]. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 21:27, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

::Really? I've seen messages in that format a lot longer than MediaWiki 1.9 has been around. Odd... {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:43, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

:::You may be remembering the rollback feature, which has been available to sysops for a while and leaves a similar message, but the undo function just came out and is available to all users. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:47, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

::::Ah, I see. That explains it - thanks. :) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:48, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

== UB question ==

can you create your own Userboxes? If so do the pictures you put in them automaticly format so they are small?[[User:Foogs|Foogs]] 14:05, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

:Yes, you can create your own userboxes, provided that they are Homestar Runner-related. Images are not automatically formatted, but you can do it by specifying the the width of the image like so: <code><nowiki>[[Image:FILENAME|41px]]</nowiki></code> (the number of pixels might need to be tweaked depending on the height of the image. Hope that helps, {{User:Trey56/sig}} 14:46, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the help i just made one. is it allowed to put it on the UB page?[[User:Foogs|Foogs]] 14:54, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

:Sure — if you think other people would be interested in using it, go ahead and add it to [[HRWiki:Userbox]]. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:28, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

== Are you allowed to have images on your page? ==

Are you allowed to have images on your userpage here? Because some other wikis don't allow that unless they're personal images. I think it would be a good idea to ask first. {{User:Zapdos/sig}} 01:16, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
:Sure, go right ahead! You can use pretty much any image you want, even another user's personal image. Speaking of personal images, you are only allowed to have two of them. See our [[HRWiki:Personal images|personal image policy]] for more info. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 01:23, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

== Why is my comment getting "STUFFED"? ==

I tried twice to add an entry under "Real-World References," but my comment was immediately deleted. I actually wasn't the only one; someone else tried to add a similar comment and couldn't. Any idea why? {{unsigned|Maristredfox|13:29, 28 June 2007 (UTC)}}
:It's because we have to vote on it before it can get put up. But, it will probably be accepted. {{User:The thing/sig}} 13:41, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
::<s>Actually, we have [[HRWiki:STUFF/Archive/Ever and More!#Bubs Rubb|already voted]] on that one. It was overwhemingly declined.</s> — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:01, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
:::It's been temporarily reinstated to allow you to participate, and your vote has been recorded. I wouldn't hold my breath, though. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:09, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

== Why don't we have a commons? ==

You know, like the Wikipedia one. [[User:Homsar44withpie|Homsar44withpie]] 16:12, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

:We don't need one. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 16:14, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

::I think it's a good idea. I already submitted it on Da Basement. {{User:Techgeekmbg/sig}} 23:07, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

== forum troubles ==

i tried to find an admin to ask this through the forums but could not find a way to contact, besides through the wiki.

anyway, i have been trying to access my account for a while now (on the forums) and every time i log in it tells me that it is inactive, i am not sure what that means besides the fact that I cannot log into my account. if anyone has the knowledge of what i could do, or has the power to fix it, that would be grand.

my username is coopoo18
coopoo18@gmail.com

==Userboxes==
how do I make user boxes?
:See [[HRWiki:Userbox]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:04, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

== how do you make the userboxes normal? ==

i put userboxes on my user page, but it looks kind of freakish and not like other user pages' pages
[[User:Kermit1234|Kermit1234]] 03:18, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
:They look normal to me. {{User:Techgeekmbg/sig}} 03:21, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

::Hey there, Kermit1234 — I {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User:Kermit1234&diff=510165&oldid=510164 fixed them}} for you. For the benefit of others who might have the same problem (it's pretty common, from what I've seen), I'll post part of my reply on your talk page here:
<blockquote>
To fix them, I put each userbox on a separate line, added <code><nowiki>{{userboxtop}}</nowiki></code> on a line above them all, and added <code><nowiki>|}</nowiki></code> on a line below them all.
</blockquote>
::Hope that helps, and see you around! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 03:24, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

== two little questions about images ==

hello again FAQ page

1. Can I use someone else's personal signature picture in mine?

2. Which thing do i select under Licensing (on the upload page) if i made the image myself and it doesn't have any copyrighted stuff on it?

thanks a bunch
{{User:Kermit1234/sig}} 18:15, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
: 1 - You can't. It's their image.

: 2 - I'd put it under the copyright of "Promotional photo". Unless anybody disagrees. Hope this helps you. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 18:21, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
::Hey there, Kermit. The answer to you questions depends on a couple things:

::1. As long as the personal image is a Homestar Runner image, then you ''can'' use it for yourself. The intellectual property doesn't belong to whomever's personal image it is. If it's something they actually made themselves, then you'd have to ask permission from them, though.

::2. I would probably pick "Used with permission". That one's safe, even if one of the others would fit better.

== Translations! ==

I was wondering: When I translate the sbEmails' subtitles, do I have to make intentional grammar mistakes, like the ones in the real email?

:If translating that way will keep the translation true to the original, then yes, include them. I'm not sure if we include the ''[sic]'' notation in subtitles, but this is where it would be applicable. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 00:49, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

::So, If the grammatical error aren't vital for the storyline of the toon, I should put it correct?--[[User:Dicai|We do what we must, because we can!]] 00:54, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
:::Remember, we are transcribing the spoken words, which should always be spelled correctly unless an intentional reference to the poor spelling (i.e., a weird pronumciation or such) is made. The apostrophe song might not make any sense in a foreign language without apostrophes, for example, so it's going to be impossible to perfectly make the transcript make sense in all cases, so best to be accurate to what was said. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:13, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
::::Personally, if I can't find a good equivalent in Hebrew for a mistake (like [[-èd]]), I don't make the extra effort to make one up. Remember that when someone who don't know English is watching the toon, the subtitles come by fact and don't have time to figure out to complicated stuff. If you start explaining the joke within the text, or try to poorly translate it, the viewer is just going to end up confused. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 14:18, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

:If you use {{tl|userboxtop}}, it should align right by default.

== Typo correct... ==

If you find a typo or misspelling on a user page is it against the rules to correct it? should i just notify the user if i do? [[User:Poopskin|Poopskin]] 18:07, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
:That's a tough decision. It is against the rules to edit another user's page, but I think fixing minor errors is allowed. It's also good to say in your edit summary why you edited the page, like "fixed spelling" or "fixed formatting" or something like that. — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 14:23, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
:Misspellings are generally not something you'd want to correct yourself. If there's a single word or character that has wrecked the entire page's formatting, which happens more often than you'd think, then you can go ahead and fix it at that point. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 16:53, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
:I personally would only edit a user's page in cases where the page rendering is ruined due to a mistake. A simple misspelling isn't something important enough to merit breaking the "don't edit other user's pages" rule, in my opinion. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:02, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
::I would hate it if someone edited MY userpage to correct MY typos. Do I know whether you would you mind if I edited YOUR page to do fix it? No, I wouldn't and therefore I don't. But what you can do instead is send that user a message informing of the typo so they can fix it themselves.

== Fonts ==

hello again,
I'm improving my signature with a new fonts and i need a list of different fonts I can try (this is also a good thing to put on any of the Help:Signature pages if you have the answer.) I checked Wikipedia, but some of the fonts don't work here.
Thanks a bunch,
{{User:Kermit1234/sig}} 02:53, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
:For a font to "work", you need it to be on your computer and also on everyone else's computer. If you use a font I don't have, your sig will appear in the default font on my screen. It has nothing to do with the wiki and everything to do with whether the user has that specific font installed on his machine. Thus, any font can work here, provided again it's on everyone's computer. Bottom line is, not many fonts are that universal, so you will surely find some users cannot see your sig as intended. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 08:02, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
::There are, however, a few magic words in CSS for certain types of fonts, namely sans-serif, serif, monospace, fantasy and script... which exact font they appear as will change from system to system, but they'll always do ''something''. They might not be that useful alone in a sig, if you want something fancy, but you can always go <code><nowiki></nowiki></code>... which'll pick one of those two fonts if the person looking at your sig has them, or fall back to sans-serif if they don't... it's the best you can do. Fonts are tricky things, fonts on the web even trickier. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 08:30, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
:::I would avoid fantasy and script, as they are poorly supported even among rather compliant user agents. (My installs of Opera and Firefox do nothing special foreither of these.) Serif, sans-serif and monospace will succeed in nearly all cases, though. They should be listed last in a font-family property. Ex. <nowiki>Text</nowiki> yields Text. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:08, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

== Is there a way to keep someone from editing my articles? ==

If there is, I'd like to know how. I wrote the article about Strong Bad changing the topic of his e-mails, and I liked it the way it was, but somebody changed all of it and I think it has less information. I also can't change it back. Is there a way to fix it or keep people from editing it? Thnikky
:Well, you see, Thnikky, this is a [[Wikipedia:wiki|wiki]]. ''Anyone'' can edit pretty much ''any'' article, and we don't protect articles just for the benefit of one editor. You can access the previous versions of a page using the history tab at the top. From there, you can get elements from old versions and combine them with the current version, or revert to an older version altogether (note, we don't usually revert big changes except in cases of vandalism; instead, we try to keep the best parts of all the versions).

== Username question ==

Why does the HR wiki ask that usernames can't be directly named after Homestar Runner characters? Thanks! Thnikky Oh, sorry about all the questions. I'm just a little new to editing and everything (but I've been using hrwiki.org since 2005)
:This is one of the oldest rules on the wiki. It's generally restricted to just the main characters. Besides the fact that using the name of a main character is unoriginal, it's too confusing to discuss the characters if users have the exact same names. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:23, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

== Images that are not upload'd....ed ==

I just realized this when I was last editing my userpage:
If you can post on a user page (for example, an image from another website (like how users are posting 'personality quiz' answers (I have one of those on my user page) or 'trainer cards' (some users are posting customizable Pokemon trainer cards)) can we do that instead of posting personal images? (like if you wanted to post a picture of a singer you like...i dunno....like David Bowie for showing hobbies/interests)

If so, are we limited to two?

Is this going to be a long discussion about the rules and personal images?

If so, should we post anything about this on the Help:Images page?

Am I going to ask more questions?

Probably.

Thanks a lot, {{User:Kermit1234/sig}} 04:23, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

how do i make pages or subpages?

First, you must make a link to that page from another page. (like [/[good]/] while editing the page you want to link but without the slashes) The link should turn red. Hit the link.

'''Homestar Ruiner''' is the first episode of the ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People]]'' video game series. It was released on August 11, 2008 for WiiWare and PC. It has been rated T by the ESRB for Crude Humor, Mild Cartoon Violence, and Mild Suggestive Themes. Story written by Mike Stemmle and [[The Brothers Chaps]].

While [[Strong Bad]] is going about his usual routine - checking [[Strong Bad Email|emails]], etc. - [[Homestar Runner]] tells him about the [[Contests#Tri-annual Race to the End of the Race|Tri-annual Race to the End of the Race]]. Once Strong Bad hears of Homestar's intention to win this contest, he schemes to snatch victory from Homestar's [[Lack of Visible Arms|invisible grasp]].

== Easter Eggs ==
* Enter the photo booth, interact with the top of the light closest to The Cheat. After the pointer changes shape, keep holding down the interaction button and drag the shirt onto Strong Bad to wear it.
** The shirt can also be obtained by walking off the right side of the photo booth three times, causing Strong Bad to walk under the floor. When he walks directly under the door and out of view, a sound will play, and he'll be wearing the shirt when he comes back into view.
*After prank calling everybody with Homestar's cell phone, you can prank call Homsar.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*When digging for the Teen Girl Squad idea at the Track, Strong Bad says "Xie xie!" (rendered as "Hsieh hsieh!" by the game's subtitles). This is Mandarin ([[Wikipedia:Simplified Chinese character|simplified Chinese characters]]: 谢谢, [[Wikipedia:Traditional Chinese character|traditional Chinese characters]]: 謝謝) for "Thank you!"
*A [[Wikipedia:Sadie Hawkins dance|Sadie Hawkins dance]] (mentioned by Strong Bad after he trims the hedge in The Field) is a dance where females invite male dates, rather than the other way around.

=== Trivia ===
*The Wii Title ID is WBXx, where x is the region code (E for United States, P for Europe).
*One of the entries in the "Special Thanks" in the game's end credits is for the HRWiki.

=== Remarks ===
*This is one of the few times a character mentions [[Free Country, USA]]. The last time this occurred was when Strong Bad said it in [[flashback]].
*An attempt to use the microwave in-game will result in a note that the door is stuck shut. However, at a certain point in the game, Homestar will open it without any problem--even while Strong Bad is in the middle of saying it's stuck shut.
*Throughout the game, [[The Paper]] accompanies as part of the in-game menu rather than [[New Paper]].
*A different font is used for the [[Lappy 486]] rather than its regular [[Fonts|font]], Glitch0.

=== Goofs ===
*At the non-garden party, the rollover for Marzipan and Homestar is spelled "MARZIPAN & HOMSETAR". This goof is only present in the Wii version.
*In Strong Bad's photo booth there is a clickable area above the camera. Clicking here turns the cursor into the Max shirt from the Telltale store (also occasionally chosen at random as Young Sam's costume in Sam and Max Episode 202: Moai Better Blues and Episode 204: Chariots of the Dogs). However, when put on Strong Bad, the shirt is yellow and has a picture of a dog on it.
*The subtitles are incorrect in several places
**When kicking the Cheat into the dryer, one of the subtitles misspells ''Pixelated'' as ''Pix'''i'''lated''.
**Homestar Runner sings "Do do-do do dooo dooo, do do-do do dooo" but the subtitles say "Do do-do do dooo dooo, do do-do do dooo dooo".
**While Strong Bad says "some French guy said I should beat you up", the subtitles quote him as saying "some French guy said that I should beat you up".
**While most abbreviations have an apostrophe, no apostrophe is transcribed when Homestar says "puddin sack".
**In several responses from the Drive-Thru Whale, the "O" in "Blubb-O's" is lowercase.
**When the Drive-Thru Whale says "'Nurer' spelled backwards is 'rerun.'" the word "in" is transcribed rather than "is".
**During Marzipan's answering machine message, the word "polluted" is misspelled as "poluted" in the subtitles.

**As Strong Bad comments that Snake Boxer 5 is "so much better than the unfortunate Snake Boxer 4: Lady Snake Parade" there is an unnecessary comma after the word "unfortunate".
*Marzipan's mouth occasionally faces the wrong side of her head (away from Strong Bad and the direction she is facing) during conversations.
*If Marzipan's hedge is trimmed while she's inside after seeing the Homestar float ruined, she will speak to Strong Bad about the hedge but won't be there.

=== Glitches ===
[[Image:HomestarRuinerBlueWallBug.jpg|thumb|Tech Shirt Glitch.]]
*If the subtitles are turned off, they will be erroneously enabled when Strong Bad checks his email. They will remain enabled afterwards until Strong Bad leaves his house, although the ''Settings'' screen will show them as '''Off'''. Toggling them on and off again under the ''Settings'' will rectify the problem.
*While wearing the tech shirt near Strong Bad's house, in extended play, geometry issues will occur, resulting in what looks like a blue wall shooting out from the shirt. This also occurs in other locations in the game.
*If the Luxa Lounger is extended (when it is unextended) and the radio set to the Latin music in Extended Play, the conga line will re-form even though it won't move.
**When the Luxa Lounger is set back the conga line will disappear, but Homestar, Marzipan, Coach Z, Bubs and the King of Town will appear where they were when the party was still going on. These characters cannot be selected, and Strong Bad can walk right through them.
*As Strong Bad wears the Homestar head, it is sometimes invisible, so you see Strong Bad grab nothing.

==== Wii Version ====
*If widescreen mode is turned on, talking to Coach Z in extended play results in the game crashing, requiring a hard reset. In addition, many of the cut scenes that play throughout the game will sometimes freeze, also requiring a hard reset.
*After Strong Bad plays [[Snake Boxer 5]], the background changes from the TV to the Computer Room before resuming Strong Bad's Standing-up animation.
*If the game is saved while in the photo booth while wearing a shirt and then immediately turned off, then when you start only the collar of the shirt will be visible.
*If you repeatedly press B during the ending cutscene/credits, you will teleport to the Computer Room. You can move the pointer during this period, but you cannot do anything and must reset.
*While the people are throwing a party at Strong Bad's house, you can go through The King of Town's body while he's eating [[pizza]]. If you try to take a picture of Strong Bad through the King of Town's body, the game will lock up, forcing you to reset.

==== PC Version ====
*Occasionally Homestar, Marzipan, Bubs, Coach Z, Strong Mad, Strong Sad or Strong Bad's eyes are not visible upon entering an area. The same may also occur with Strong Mad and Marzipan's mouth.

*When Strong Bad attempts to pick up the hurdle after the first run of the Race to the End of the Race, he claims that it must be made of some very heavy metal, and lists several materials he thinks it could be made of, including "black sabbath". [[Wikipedia:Black Sabbath|Black Sabbath]] was a heavy metal band which had great influence on the genre.
*After trimming the hedge near Bub's Concession Stand, having Strong Bad look at it leads him to call it "the [[Gibson Flying V|flying V]]". This is an actual guitar made by [[Wikipedia:Gibson Guitar Corporation|Gibson Guitar Corp.]] The hedge's shape is also accurate to the Gibson Flying V.
*Throughout most of the game, Strong Bad's fridge contains only a single jar of mayonnaise. In [[Wikipedia:Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis|''Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis'']], another point-and-click adventure game, Indiana Jones had only a single jar of mayonnaise in his fridge.

**Strong Mad's line just after turning on the CD for the first time is a reference to Austen's most famous book, [[Wikipedia:Pride and Prejudice|Pride and Prejudice]]. Mr. Darcy is a main character in the story.

*When Strong Bad walks near Homestar Runner at the field, one of the things he is chanting is "I must, I must, I must improve my bust," a reference to the young adult novel ''[[Wikipedia:Are You There_God?

'''Homestar Ruiner''' is the first episode of the ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People]]'' video game series. It was released on August 11, 2008 for WiiWare and PC. It has been rated T by the ESRB for Crude Humor, Mild Cartoon Violence, and Mild Suggestive Themes. Story written by Mike Stemmle and [[The Brothers Chaps]].

While [[Strong Bad]] is going about his usual routine - checking [[Strong Bad Email|emails]], etc. - [[Homestar Runner]] tells him about the [[Contests#Tri-annual Race to the End of the Race|Tri-annual Race to the End of the Race]]. Once Strong Bad hears of Homestar's intention to win this contest, he schemes to snatch victory from Homestar's [[Lack of Visible Arms|invisible grasp]].

== Easter Eggs ==
* Enter the photo booth, interact with the top of the light closest to The Cheat. After the pointer changes shape, keep holding down the interaction button and drag the shirt onto Strong Bad to wear it.
** The shirt can also be obtained by walking off the right side of the photo booth three times, causing Strong Bad to walk under the floor. When he walks directly under the door and out of view, a sound will play, and he'll be wearing the shirt when he comes back into view.
*After prank calling everybody with Homestar's cell phone, you can prank call Homsar.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*When digging for the Teen Girl Squad idea at the Track, Strong Bad says "Xie xie!" (rendered as "Hsieh hsieh!" by the game's subtitles). This is Mandarin ([[Wikipedia:Simplified Chinese character|simplified Chinese characters]]: 谢谢, [[Wikipedia:Traditional Chinese character|traditional Chinese characters]]: 謝謝) for "Thank you!"
*A [[Wikipedia:Sadie Hawkins dance|Sadie Hawkins dance]] (mentioned by Strong Bad after he trims the hedge in The Field) is a dance where females invite male dates, rather than the other way around.

=== Trivia ===
*The Wii Title ID is WBXx, where x is the region code (E for United States, P for Europe).
*One of the entries in the "Special Thanks" in the game's end credits is for the HRWiki.

=== Remarks ===
*This is one of the few times a character mentions [[Free Country, USA]]. The last time this occurred was when Strong Bad said it in [[flashback]].
*An attempt to use the microwave in-game will result in a note that the door is stuck shut. However, at a certain point in the game, Homestar will open it without any problem--even while Strong Bad is in the middle of saying it's stuck shut.
*Throughout the game, [[The Paper]] accompanies as part of the in-game menu rather than [[New Paper]].
*A different font is used for the [[Lappy 486]] rather than its regular [[Fonts|font]], Glitch0.

=== Goofs ===
*At the non-garden party, the rollover for Marzipan and Homestar is spelled "MARZIPAN & HOMSETAR". This goof is only present in the Wii version.
*In Strong Bad's photo booth there is a clickable area above the camera. Clicking here turns the cursor into the Max shirt from the Telltale store (also occasionally chosen at random as Young Sam's costume in Sam and Max Episode 202: Moai Better Blues and Episode 204: Chariots of the Dogs). However, when put on Strong Bad, the shirt is yellow and has a picture of a dog on it.
*The subtitles are incorrect in several places
**When kicking the Cheat into the dryer, one of the subtitles misspells ''Pixelated'' as ''Pix'''i'''lated''.
**Homestar Runner sings "Do do-do do dooo dooo, do do-do do dooo" but the subtitles say "Do do-do do dooo dooo, do do-do do dooo dooo".
**While Strong Bad says "some French guy said I should beat you up", the subtitles quote him as saying "some French guy said that I should beat you up".
**While most abbreviations have an apostrophe, no apostrophe is transcribed when Homestar says "puddin sack".
**In several responses from the Drive-Thru Whale, the "O" in "Blubb-O's" is lowercase.
**When the Drive-Thru Whale says "'Nurer' spelled backwards is 'rerun.'" the word "in" is transcribed rather than "is".
**During Marzipan's answering machine message, the word "polluted" is misspelled as "poluted" in the subtitles.
**When Strong Bad finds the last page of the Snake Boxer V manual, the subtitles refer to the "SECRET F'''RO'''BIDDEN LEVEL'''.
**In one of the possible insults Strong Bad can say to Bubs, the word "arm" is misspelled as "armed."
**In viewing the sign on Bubs' Concession Stand, Strong Bad begins a sentence with "If I ever had any money" but the subtitles start it with "And if I ever had any money".
**During one comment about the banner on Marzipan's gazebo, Strong Bad says "in which case" but the word "which" was left out in the subtitles.
**As Strong Bad comments that Snake Boxer 5 is "so much better than the unfortunate Snake Boxer 4: Lady Snake Parade" there is an unnecessary comma after the word "unfortunate".
*Marzipan's mouth occasionally faces the wrong side of her head (away from Strong Bad and the direction she is facing) during conversations.
*If Marzipan's hedge is trimmed while she's inside after seeing the Homestar float ruined, she will speak to Strong Bad about the hedge but won't be there.

=== Glitches ===
[[Image:HomestarRuinerBlueWallBug.jpg|thumb|Tech Shirt Glitch.]]
*If the subtitles are turned off, they will be erroneously enabled when Strong Bad checks his email. They will remain enabled afterwards until Strong Bad leaves his house, although the ''Settings'' screen will show them as '''Off'''. Toggling them on and off again under the ''Settings'' will rectify the problem.
*While wearing the tech shirt near Strong Bad's house, in extended play, geometry issues will occur, resulting in what looks like a blue wall shooting out from the shirt. This also occurs in other locations in the game.
*If the Luxa Lounger is extended (when it is unextended) and the radio set to the Latin music in Extended Play, the conga line will re-form even though it won't move.
**When the Luxa Lounger is set back the conga line will disappear, but Homestar, Marzipan, Coach Z, Bubs and the King of Town will appear where they were when the party was still going on. These characters cannot be selected, and Strong Bad can walk right through them.
*As Strong Bad wears the Homestar head, it is sometimes invisible, so you see Strong Bad grab nothing.

==== Wii Version ====
*If widescreen mode is turned on, talking to Coach Z in extended play results in the game crashing, requiring a hard reset. In addition, many of the cut scenes that play throughout the game will sometimes freeze, also requiring a hard reset.
*After Strong Bad plays [[Snake Boxer 5]], the background changes from the TV to the Computer Room before resuming Strong Bad's Standing-up animation.
*If the game is saved while in the photo booth while wearing a shirt and then immediately turned off, then when you start only the collar of the shirt will be visible.
*If you repeatedly press B during the ending cutscene/credits, you will teleport to the Computer Room. You can move the pointer during this period, but you cannot do anything and must reset.
*While the people are throwing a party at Strong Bad's house, you can go through The King of Town's body while he's eating pizza. If you try to take a picture of Strong Bad through the King of Town's body, the game will lock up, forcing you to reset.

==== PC Version ====
*Occasionally Homestar, Marzipan, Bubs, Coach Z, Strong Mad, Strong Sad or Strong Bad's eyes are not visible upon entering an area. The same may also occur with Strong Mad and Marzipan's mouth.

**Additionally, the music which plays when Strong Bad acquires bonus items and trophies is ''Item Get'' from [[Wikipedia:Reality 2.0|episode 5]] of the same season.
* When investigating the stands near the track Strong Bad mentions the stands being emptier than a Stryper concert. [[Wikipedia:Stryper|Stryper]] was a Christian metal band from the '80s.
*When Strong Bad attempts to pick up the hurdle after the first run of the Race to the End of the Race, he claims that it must be made of some very heavy metal, and lists several materials he thinks it could be made of, including "black sabbath". [[Wikipedia:Black Sabbath|Black Sabbath]] was a heavy metal band which had great influence on the genre.
*After trimming the hedge near Bub's Concession Stand, having Strong Bad look at it leads him to call it "the [[Gibson Flying V|flying V]]". This is an actual guitar made by [[Wikipedia:Gibson Guitar Corporation|Gibson Guitar Corp.]] The hedge's shape is also accurate to the Gibson Flying V.
*Throughout most of the game, Strong Bad's fridge contains only a single jar of mayonnaise. In [[Wikipedia:Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis|''Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis'']], another point-and-click adventure game, Indiana Jones had only a single jar of mayonnaise in his fridge.
*Bubs will tell Strong Bad to "stay gold" after ending conversation. This is a reference to the book [[Wikipedia:The Outsiders|The Outsiders]] when the main character, Ponyboy, is told to "stay gold" from his friend.
*Strong Bad's [[DELETED|Deleted]] line, "Survey Says...DELETED!", is a reference to the popular game show [[Wikipedia:Family Feud|Family Feud]].
*When Coach Z discovers the Total Load in Pom Pom's locker, he cries out "[[Wikipedia: Cypress Hill|Cypress Hill!]]". This may also refer to his fondness for hip-hop music.
*After giving Marzipan the chocolates, Strong Bad says he gave her some "[[Wikipedia: Funky Cold Medina|Funky Cold Ma-Chocolates]]".
*When he collects all four trophies, Strong Bad speaks in a manner similar to the Count from [[Sesame Street]].
*Strong Bad saying "Check, Check one. Syllabus" into the microphone at the track is a reference to the line "Check, Check one. Sibilance" spoken by Barry (Tom Hanks) while conducting a microphone check for the band Aerosmith, before their performance in a ''Wayne's World'' sketch in a 1990 episode of ''Saturday Night Live''.
*The "Jane Austentaceous Chamber Music Jam" CD (the third one in the See Dee Spinner) is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Jane Austen|Jane Austen]], who wrote books set in nineteenth century England, when chamber music was common.
**Strong Mad's line just after turning on the CD for the first time is a reference to Austen's most famous book, [[Wikipedia:Pride and Prejudice|Pride and Prejudice]]. Mr. Darcy is a main character in the story.
*At the party, when complimenting Coach Z, Strong Bad speaks some Swedish, ending with "Bork, Bork, Bork", one of the many Mock-Swedish words said by [[Wikipedia:The Muppets|The Muppets' Swedish Chef]].
*When Strong Bad hides behind the bonsai bush in the King of Town's Castle, he says [[Wikipedia:It's Arbor Day, Charlie Brown|"It's Arbor Day, Strongly Brown"]].
*When kicking The Cheat into the dryer, The Cheatspeak is [[Homestar_Ruiner_Responses_(House_of_Strong)#The_Cheat|subtitled as ''Wii?'']].
*One of Strong Bad's metal detector finding comments contains the phrase, "I hope it's a-bubblin' crude." This is a reference to the theme song from the television show "[[Wikipedia: Beverly Hillbillies|The Beverly Hillbillies]]", where Jed Clampett strikes it rich by finding "a-bubblin' crude" oil.
*When Strong Bad walks near Homestar Runner at the field, one of the things he is chanting is "I must, I must, I must improve my bust," a reference to the young adult novel ''[[Wikipedia:Are You There_God? It's Me, Margaret|Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret]]'' by [[Wikipedia:Judy Blume|Judy Blume]].
*When Strong Sad comments on his asthma after Strong Bad looks at the Strong Sad trophy, Strong Bad replies with "Sucks to your asmar!", which is a quote from the book ''[[Wikipedia:Lord of the Flies|Lord of the Flies]]''.
*When seen and questioned about using hedge shears on the Homestar float by Marzipan, Strong Bad responds, "I'm giving him [[Wikipedia:Shave and a Haircut|a shave? and a haircut? two bits?]]".
*Strong Bad exclaiming "Shape of a moron!" whenever he puts on his Homestar costume, and "Luxa Lounger powers, activate!" whenever he reclines the Luxa Lounger, is a parody of the exclamations the [[Wikipedia:Wonder Twins|Wonder Twins]] make whenever they transform.
*While Homestar is in the locker room he will occasionally say [[Wikipedia:Press Your Luck|"No whammies... no whammies... no whammies..."]].
*Just before finding Homestar on his couch, Strong Bad mentions that he "didn't even have to use my [[Wikipedia:AK-47|AK]]", a reference to the song [[Wikipedia:It Was a Good Day|It Was A Good Day]].
*Strong Bad's acceptance speech is lifted almost verbatim from [[Wikipedia:Lou Gehrig|Lou Gehrig's farewell address]] at Yankee Stadium in 1939. The address was immortalized in the movie ''Pride of the Yankees'': "Today... I consider myself... the luckiest man... on the face of the earth."
*When Strong Bad gets the plunger in The K.O.T's Castle, he says "By the Power of.. Brownskull!" This refers to [[Wikipedia:He-Man and the Masters of the Universe|He-Man and the Masters of the Universe]] when the young warrior calls out "By the power of Grayskull!"

'''Running Time:''' 5:10

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==

''{The email begins with a red curtain with "sbemail 200" on it. Then, cut to the Lappy with a pixelated bugle on it. Trumpets begin to play. Pan out to the Computer Room with roses on its floor. The Cheat does a small flute solo, then the Poopsmith begins to sing.}''

'''THE POOPSMITH:''' ''{singing}'' Two hundred sbemails, exhausting just to think about. How can we face two hundred sbemails? The thought of all those sbemails makes me weeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!

''{During the song, Strong Bad enters the computer room on the red carpet. Coach Z and Marzipan throw roses. Strong Bad continues to approach the computer, showing that the King of Town and Bubs are also in the room. Cut to the singer, who is revealed to be the Poopsmith, as he finishes his song.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' PUKE! Please be seated. How about that Poopsmith, huh? Breaking his vow of silence to perform my two hundredth sbemail intro song! I'm almost sniff ''{voice wavers}'' not totally disgusted!

''{Cut to the Poopsmith, surrounded by flies. He gives Strong Bad the thumbs up, and whatsit drips from his glove.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I take that back. (typing) Okay, Here we go! (reading) Duh-duh-duh Dear ''Homestar''! W-T-C? New paper, Print me out a hard copy. I'll teach Homestar to steal my 200th email thunder. B'oyah!

''{Cut to Homestar at a table, typing on his Happy 8600}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' (typing) A protected landmark with suprisingly clean restrooms.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Homejob! Some stupid girls that are probably really guys accidentally emailed me-

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ugh. Strong Bad, how do you keep gettin' in here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? What are you talking about? I just-

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm in the middle of checking my email.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whaddaya mean ''your'' email? I'm in the middle of checking ''my'' email!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're not the only one around here who answers emails from fans with humorous results.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Since the crap when?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. Since forever. Don't you remember? You're in a bunch of 'em." Like that old classic when they asked about burglers breaking into my house.

''{Cut to Homestar in his darkened living room, in a Homestar Runner shirt, white robe and sleeping cap}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If I act all sleepy and throw a bunch of cinnamon on my face, it's usually enough to throw 'em off. Poo, Poo. Poo, Poo.

''{walks into living room to find Strong Bad and The Cheat having broken the moose lamp}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' yawn. Hey Strong Sad. Batman. What are you guys doing in my house?

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And who can forget when I accidentally took some of Strong Sad's Pills?

''{Cut to Strong Bad's Computer Room}''

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

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

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And that one where I dressed up real good like Coach Z.

''{Cut to Strong Bad's Basement, Strong Bad is sitting on the couch, Coach Z is standing, wearing the fondue pot on his head and a Tigger tail}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey Strong Bad, I think I ruined your fondue Pot!

'''STRONG BAD:''' My fondue part?

''{Cut back to Homestar's Computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' HANG ON! SHUT FACE! Those were MY emails and you squeazeled your way into them.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm glad you believe that, Strong Bad. Anyways, Let me see that email. Oh, come on! ''Another'' pillow fight?'' Haven't they seen hremail #49?

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' a hremail.

''{As he says "sbemails" and "hremails," they appear over his head as text, as if someone typed them}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You've got sbemails, I've got hremails.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do you even have an email address?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Of course I do. Everybody knows it's djmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com.

'''STRONG BAD:''' There's a good chance my brain is about to explode right now.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aww, come on old timer. It's not so bad, you want to help me check this email?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No I don't want to help you check your email. I want to help myself ruin your email. whooyaa! And help myself to your ice cream sammies. whooyaa.

'''COACH Z''' (Wearing a striped tail and a pot on his head) Hey, Strong Bad, I think I ruined your fondue part!

'''STRONG BAD''' My fondue part?!

''{Back to Homestar's computer where Strong Bad is now standing on Homestar's desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD''' HANG! ON! SHUT! FACE! Those were my emails and you squeezled your way into them!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''' I'm glad you believe that Strong Bad. Any ways, lemme see that email!

''{Grabs the email printout from Strong Bad's hand and reads it while frowning.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''' Oh, come on! ANOTHER pillow fight?! Haven't the seen hremail number 49?

'''STRONG BAD''' Hrrrrrr-what mail?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''' Hremail! You've got sbemails ("sbemails" appears over Homestar's head) and I've got hremails ("hremails" appears over his head then both scroll off the top of the screen).

==Fun Facts==

===Trivia===
*The label on the [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[duck pond]]".
*[[John Linnell]] as the voice of the Poopsmith marks the only main character who is not voiced by the [[Brothers Chaps]] or [[Missy]].
*The Cheat is playing a [[left-handed]] flute at the beginning. Since both his hands are moving while he trills G to A, it doesn't seem that he has a C# trill key.
*The email sent to Strong Bad by mistake reads:

<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: college girls?</div>
Dear Homestar, 
Me and all of my young college friends that live in my dorm were just wondering if you wanted to come over and have a pillow fight sometime because we think you are sooooooo very cool. 
All the college dorm girls at MO 
Hannah, Micah, Rachel, Sally, Peggy, Vicky, Amber, 
and all the rest of use
</blockquote>

===Goofs===
*On the end screen, [[sibbie]] is spelled as "sibby".
*On the end screen, highlighting [[ghosts]] will bring up a picture of [[Sterrance]], who never appeared in that email.
**He also appears when you highlight [[animal]], the correct email.

===Inside References===
*Homestar calls back to scenes from [[caper]] and [[long pants]].
*Coach Z returning [[Strong Bad's fondue pot]] is a reference to [[50 emails]] and [[Puppet Time]].
*Strong Bad's message to Homestar is from Abdi, the sender of the very first email, [[some kinda robot]].
*This is another email featuring [[Mountain Dew]].
*The Easter egg with Limozeen is lifted directly from [[flashback]].
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad refers to [[Strong Sad's Lament]], which, true to Strong Sad's words, hasn't been updated since September 5, 2005.
*In this email, the cheat plays either the [[Instruments|flute or the fife.]]
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad uses the same theme as in the Strong Sad Easter egg in [[pizza joint]].
*Homestar's laptop [[Happy 8600]] is manufactured by [[Tandy]].
*The fonts used to write "200" in the intro are the fonts from each of [[Computers#Computers|Strong Bad's computers]].
*Strong Sad's pills are also mentioned in [[funny|funny]].
*Homestar's disdain for the "repeat" pillow-fight topic seems to reflect the "topics the Brothers' Chap aren't likely to answer," most notably requests to "draw Trogdor again."
*Homestar's hremail24 is banned in similar manner to Strong Bad's [[sb_email 22]]. Also, [[sbemail24]] focuses on the middle finger, which may be another possible reason it was banned.
*"Squeazeled" is a [[portmanteau]].

===Real-World References===
*The Poopsmith Easter egg refers to the song "My Michelle", by [[Wikipedia:Guns N' Roses|Guns N' Roses]].
*Homestar's laptop is modeled after an [[Wikipedia:OLPC XO-1|XO-1]], an inexpensive model distributed as part of the [[Wikipedia:One Laptop Per Child|One Laptop Per Child]] project. The laptop was made available to North American consumers during the 2007 holiday season in a "Give 1 Get 1" offer. Ironically, the XO-1 keyboard is designed to resist liquids.

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I'm chicky-checkin' emails in 2008! Stricky-stricky-Strong Bad fit to regulate! ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: high time</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
We realize that you are a busy fellow, but my friend and 
I cannot help but think that you could be doing more to 
help the environment. This is your planet too, you know. 
Lyd and Jules, 
ID and MO, respectively 
</blockquote>
''{reads ID as "idiot" and MO as "moron"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well...ladies? I do plenty to help the environment. Nobody ever gives me credit for my most significant contribution. ''{clears the screen}'' Every day I wake up and the first thing I do is NOT drop a piano on Marzipan's head. Who knows how many greenhouse gases I've rescued as a result of not mortally wounding ol' Marzipole. And don't forget my New Year's resolution to stop watering her plants with bleach. Now I water them strictly with ''{cut to Marzipan's house and a close up on her flowers}'' recycled cigarette butts.

''{Cigarette butts are dumped on one of the flowers.}''

'''FLOWER:''' ''{coughing}'' Oh, that's good stuff.

''{cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, there ya go possibly ladies. My boat take— 
'''STRONG SAD and MARZIPAN:''' ''{faintly, chanting}'' Scrappy the Lappy! We think it's really crappy! Scrappy the Lappy!

''{cut to The Computer Room's window where the silhouette of two picket signs are seen. Strong Sad and Marzipan continue underneath}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the—?

''{cut to The Field. Strong Sad holds up a sign that says "Scrap the Lappy". Marzipan holds a sign saying "Lappy, Take the Dirt Nappy!". Strong Bad enters from the right.}''

'''STRONG SAD and MARZIPAN:''' We think it's really crappy!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Are you guys picketing my computer?

''{medium shot of Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yes we are! That Lappy is energy sappy!

''{close up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{stares flatly}'' That's very clever. How long did it take you to think up—

''{cut back to shot of all three}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{posing proudly}'' Three days.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Just look at your power bill from last month.

'''STRONG SAD:''' The bill itself uses eight trees' worth of paper.

''{pan to the left to reveal a stack of paper marked "BILLS!"}''

''{close up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Are you trying to tell me that $70,000 power bills aren't the norm?

''{medium shot of Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Strong Bad, every time you press enter on the Lappy, the rest of us lose power.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' For real?

''{Push wipe back to the Lappy. There is a list labeled "Okay for Mom" on the screen with various euphemisms for buttocks within it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing in the list}'' tuckus ''{presses enter, heard with the loud clack of a circuit breaker blowing}'' hinders ''{presses enter}'' bwathom ''{presses enter}'' boontockle ''{presses enter}''

''{Push wipe to Homestar Runner with an [[Atari 2600]] joystick.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm about to win! ''{room darkens}'' Awww... ''{lights come on}'' I'm about to win! ''{room darkens}'' Awww.... ''{reverse shot of the TV that reads "PLEASE INSERT GAME PAK, KID!"}'' I'm really about to win! ''{room darkens}'' Again with the awww....

''{cut to close up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Fine! I'll just start using the Lappy's battery instead.

''{cut back to The Field}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, sorry. ''{medium shot of Strong Sad}'' Every time you use that battery, 45 acres of rain forest are burned to the ground!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! ''{close up of Strong Bad}'' I knew the Lappy was awesome, but I had no idea of her destructive power! ''{cut to shot of all three}'' I gotta get Bubs to help me to overclock it and see if we can't get that up to an even 50 acres.

''{medium shot of Marzipan. Her angry brow goes away}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' You really have to do something, Strong Bad. Even Coach Z does all of his cooking with hydroelectric.

''{cut to a close up of Coach Z's hand in the [[showering|shower]], holding a soggy hot dog.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Ah, the world famous Coach Z ''{the Sog Dog logo appears in the upper left corner}'' Sog Dog. ''{words appear on the screen as he says it}'' Mmmmm! Drink in that bun!

''{cut back to The Field, close up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait. So, alls I got to do is take something I already do and word it differently so it sounds eco-friendly?

''{cut back to all three}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah, that's what we do mostly.

''{medium shot of Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Check out my sustainable MP3 player.

''{medium shot of Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' And my organic ''Thelma and Louise'' DVD.

''{close up of Strong Bad, smiling}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, yeah, okay. And say hello to my 65 mile-per-gallon hybrid piano!

''{long shot in silhouette of The Field. A piano is seen dropping and Strong Sad and Marzipan scatter}''

'''STRONG SAD and MARZIPAN:''' Al Gore's beard!

''{zoom back in just before the piano is seen smashed in the field next to Strong Bad. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So there, there, THERE we go, maybe ladies. Strong Bad and the environment are now making out in the parent's basement of a solar-powered house. Take a look at the Lappy's new environmentally compliant sticker compliance sticker! ''{close up of the sticker next to the Lappy 486 logo}'' And it's got a picture of a little leaf on it, so you know it's good for the environment. ''{zoom out to the Lappy; resumes typing}'' So until next week, my boat take—

''{The Cheat noises are heard and the Lappy's screen goes dark. Zoom out to see a panting The Cheat (painted green) in a hamster wheel hooked up the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on green The Cheat! ''{The Cheat resumes running in the wheel}'' That's good, that's good! Only 17 more hours and I can press send.

''{[[New Paper]] comes down reading: 
"Click gently to eco-mail Strong Bad. 
printed on 100% post-consumer brown paper with green ink"}''

''{pause for a little while, as the hamster wheel sound effect fades out}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow. That is one whisper quiet hamster wheel.

*Strong Bad claims that his monthly power bill is $70,000. Assuming that he pays the US national average price of [http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/electricity/epm/table5_6_a.html 9.86¢/kWh], that would mean that he uses approximately 710 MWh/month ([[Wikipedia:megawatt hours|megawatt hours]] per month). This would be roughly 800 times more than the average usage of [http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/reps/enduse/er01_us.html 888 kWh/month] per US household.

*Just like Strong Sad in [[concert]], Homestar is either playing with a left handed Atari 2600 joystick or is playing with the joystick sideways. The standard joystick has its button in the upper left hand corner.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well...ladies? I do plenty to help the environment. Nobody ever gives me credit for my most significant contribution. ''{clears the screen}'' Every day I wake up and the first thing I do is NOT drop a piano on Marzipan's head. Who knows how many greenhouse gases I've rescued as a result of not mortally wounding ol' Marzipole. And don't forget my New Year's resolution to stop watering her plants with bleach.

<blockquote>'''FBI WARNING''' 
 
This cartoon is pretty old. It was the first cartoon 
we ever made. Homestar is not very funny and 
neither is Strong Bad. They are mere shadows of 
the men they have become. This cartoon has not 
been on the site for many months, but we have had 
several requests(from our Dad) to put it back. So 
here it is. Consider yourselves warned.</blockquote>

''{Show opening credits. Cut to inside Marshmallow's Last Stand. Homestar and Pom Pom sit at a table each with a marshmallow.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' These are some great marshmallows, eh, Pom Pom? ...Why don't you look over there, for no reason.

''{Pom Pom bubbles and looks away as Homestar sucks up Pom Pom's marshmallow. He chews it up and takes a bite of his own. Suddenly, heavy metal music plays in the background as Strong Bad and Strong Mad walk up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, look at the babies! Eating their marshmallows.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh-oh, it's The Brothers Strong, Strong Bad and Strong Mad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You better believe it, man. We're the greatest tag team wrestlers in the world! ''{Strong Mad nods}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's great, Strong Bad! Have a good time.

'''POM POM:''' ''{Bubbles over Homestar's line}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, you morones ''{"morons" with Strong Bad's old, affected Mexican accent}''. We're challenging you to the tag-team match!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hmm... no thanks.

''{Both Strong Bad and Strong Mad get angry. They both growl.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, you gimme this!

''{He takes Homestar's star from his shirt.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey! Gimme back my star!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Of course, but first you have to beat us in the ring!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What do you say, Pom Pom, old friend?

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles in agreement}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're on!

''{Cut to outside a stadium. Crowds go in. We see a close-up of the door. There is a poster that says: "War for the Star Tonight!!! 8:30 PM." The scene changes to the ring.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{heavy echo}'' Ladies and gentlemen, good evening and welcome to The War for the Star! In this corner, at a combined weight of one million pounds, hailing from Parts Unknown, The Brothers Strong, Strong Mad and Strong Bad! ''{Each fall into the ring as his name is called}'' And now, the hometown favorites, with a combined weight of one hundred and four pounds, Homestar Runner and Pom Pom! ''{A light shines on each one as his name is called.}''

''{We see the crowd cheering. In the crowd are Mr. Bland, Señor, Marzipan, Bubs, Coach Z, The King of Town, The Poopsmith, The Robot, Strong Sad, and other various people. Señor is wearing a giant styrofoam hand; Mr. Bland is holding a sign that says "Wrestling Mania!!!"; and The Poopsmith is holding a sign that says "I'm #2". The bell rings and Homestar takes down Strong Bad with a flying kick to the head. Strong Bad gets up, but Homestar knocks him to the ground with the same kick, and then body slams him. Strong Bad tags in Strong Mad, who enters the ring.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh-oh!

''{Strong Mad grabs Homestar by the legs and proceeds to slam him on the ground. He tosses Homestar out of the ring. Pom Pom gets angry and vaults over the top rope into the ring, but lands on Strong Mad's fist. Strong Mad beats him against the boxing ring floor repeatedly, and Pom Pom falls over. Strong Mad climbs to the top turnbuckle and gets ready to deliver the finishing move.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pom, look out!

'''POM POM:''' ''{winks at Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Huh?

''{Strong Mad jumps off the turnbuckle and splashes onto Pom Pom, but is bounced into space. Strong Bad and Homestar re-enter the ring and Homestar bounces off of the ropes into Strong Bad, taking him out by smashing his head into Strong Bad's face. Strong Bad gets up. We see a close up of Homestar's face while music from ''The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'' starts playing. We also see a close-up of Strong Bad with the same music. Strong Bad attempts a windmill punch but Homestar kicks his stomach and tosses him out of the ring. Strong Bad grabs a lit bomb from under the ring while mumbling incoherently. He gets back into the ring and shoves the bomb down Homestar's throat and punches Homestar's belly.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Homestar's stomach gurgles}'' Ooh, I ate too many marshmallows... ''{His face turns green and he pukes the bomb and some marshmallow-y goo onto Strong Bad's head, where it sticks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{running around frantically}'' AUGH! Getitoffme getitoffme getitoffme!

''{The bomb explodes. When the dust clears, we see Homestar standing atop of Strong Bad. Strong Bad has a chunk missing from his head.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' One! Two! Three! ''{The crowd cheers. Strong Mad falls back into the ring.}'' Ladies and gentlemen, your winners, Homestar Runner and Pom Pom!

''{We see a black-and-white picture of Homestar Runner and Pom Pom, labeled "Winners"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now how about my star back, Strong Bad?

''{Frustrated, Strong Bad tears up Homestar's star while muttering something inaudible, and Strong Mad nods. Homestar kicks Strong Bad, who now lies on the ground with stars of confusion floating around his head. Homestar kicks one of the stars to himself so he can grab it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Homestar....RUN!

''{He jumps up and the star of pain becomes a star on his shirt. The end!}''

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*According to [[l33t Interview|a 2001 interview with Stephan of WTFiml33t.com]], the reason this toon was taken off the site was quote: "The characters are completely different. Saying and doing things they'd never do now." However, in [[Club Aquatica Interview - 29 Oct 2003|a later interview]], it is mentioned that The Brothers Chaps "can’t disclose why [Marshmallow's Last Stand and [[A Jumping Jack Contest]]] are off, it's a personal reason."
*The Poopsmith's sign reads "I'm #2." #2 is also a slang term for [[whatsit]].

===Trivia===
*The [[Hanging Objects#From Marshmallow's Last Stand|framed sign]] behind Homestar Runner changes repeatedly in the restaurant. The order which they are shown in is:
**Nice to Meat You (picture of a [[steak]])
**Lettuce Pray (picture of lettuce)
**Get Toasted (picture of [[Bread|toast]] with [[butter]])
**Say Cheese (picture of cheese)
**Get Toasted (picture of toast)
**Eggs-Treme (picture of fried [[eggs]])
**Pie-Fect!! (picture of a slice of [[pie]])
**Say Cheese (picture of a slice of cheese)
**Lettuce Pray (picture of a head of lettuce)
**Nice to Meat You (picture of a steak)
*According to [[Pom Pom#Character Video Transcript|Pom Pom's character video]], he weighs 4 pounds. Combining this fact with Pom Pom and Homestar's combined weight according to this toon, Homestar weighs 100 pounds.
*Similarly, Strong Mad's [[HR:smsticker.html|sticker page]] places him at 900 pounds. Again, with Strong Bad and Strong Mad's weight, this places Strong Bad at a whopping 999,100 pounds.
*According to a now non-existent comment in the Homestar Runner Museum, this was the first Homestar Runner cartoon to use voice acting. Each character's voice has developed since then.
*[[The Brothers Chaps]] parody [[Wikipedia:Luchador|lucha libre]]-style wrestling with Strong Bad's south-of-the-border accent and wrestling mask.
*In this toon, Homestar Runner has a hint of a southern accent. This is likely because The Brothers Chaps are from Georgia.
*The camera angle changes more in this toon than in any other.
*This cartoon was co-written and co-directed by [[Chad Eikhoff]].
*In this cartoon, Strong Mad has visible chest hair on several occasions.
*Homestar Runner has stars on the treads of his sneaker soles.
*This is the first toon in which [[The Poopsmith]] and [[The King of Town]] appear.
*Although Strong Sad appears in the toon, he isn't referred to as one of [[The Brothers Strong]]. This might be because Strong Sad was disowned by Strong Bad and Strong Mad, according to an old Characters page that was drawn in the same style as this toon.

===Goofs===
*The Announcer begins speaking before the microphone is lowered to him, and once the microphone is lowered his voice isn't any louder.
*Although Homestar's star has five points, Strong Bad appears to tear the star into four triangular pieces.
*Strong Bad's pants turn blue when Homestar wrestles Strong Mad. When Strong Bad steps back in the ring, they are black again.
**His pants are also blue near the end of the toon, after the Brothers Strong lose and are standing at the side of the ring while the Announcer is announcing Homestar and Pom Pom as the winners.
*When the Brothers Strong first jump into the ring, Strong Mad looks unusually short.
*When Homestar says, "Hey! Give me back my star," his voice sounds a little cut off at the beginning.
*Almost all of the sound effects can be heard slightly before the actions causing them are seen.
*After Strong Bad's face explodes from the bomb, the marshmallow on his face changes with every shot. The last time he is shown, he has no marshmallow on his face at all.
*When Homestar jumps up to grab the gold star and says "Homestar....RUN!", Strong Bad doesn't scroll down with the rest of the floor while he is lying down.
*When Strong Bad grabs the bomb from under the ring, you can notice on the left of Strong Bad's hands, the blue is overlapping his face, and to the right of his hands, his hand's outline extends into the blue.
*Starting at the Arena, the toon is poorly voice synched, getting worse near the end.
*Sometimes, when the ring is zoomed out far enough, you can see in the top left corner where the graphics for the audience end before the frame.
*When Homestar says "Homestar...RUN!" his mouth doesn't move.
*The final screen is in two slightly, but noticeably, different shades of orange.
*Homestar's star is off-line; you can still see some parts where it isn't red.
*When the Brothers Strong enter the stand, their silhouettes show them facing the viewer, not Homestar and Pom Pom.
*At the very end, Homestar's new star is not in the same place as the old one. (You can see that a bit of the shadow is still on there after he gets his new star).

===Real-World References===
* Strong Bad's "You better believe it, man!" sounds almost identical to the same phrase uttered by Jesus Quintana (played by [[Wikipedia:John Turturro|John Turturro]]) in the movie ''[[The Big Lebowski]]''.
* The rainbow-colored warning is most likely a reference to an old FBI warning used by [[Wikipedia:Paramount Pictures|Paramount Pictures]]. It is also used in the [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]].
* "The War for the Star" is a parody of boxing matches with rhyming titles (e.g. ''[[Wikipedia:Rumble in the Jungle|Rumble in the Jungle]]'', ''[[Wikipedia:Thrilla in Manila|The Thrilla in Manila]]'').
* The Announcer says Strong Bad hails from Parts Unknown. Having more exotic characters (especially masked wrestlers, like Strong Bad) coming from "Parts Unknown" has been standard in wrestling for decades. For example, the Ultimate Warrior and Kane were said to be from Parts Unknown.
* Mr. Bland is holding a sign that says "Wrestling Mania." This is quite likely a reference to the annual [[Wikipedia:Wwe|WWE]] [[Wikipedia:WrestleMania|WrestleMania]] event.
* The music played when Homestar and Strong Bad are staring each other down comes from the movie ''[[imdb:tt0060196|The Good, the Bad and the Ugly]]''.
* The largely ineffective "windmill punch" Strong Bad tries to use on Homestar has actually been used in real life to similar comedic effect, during one of the wrestling matches comedian [[Wikipedia:Andy Kaufman|Andy Kaufman]] staged with professional wrestler [[Wikipedia:Jerry Lawler|Jerry "The King" Lawler]]. The sound effect used during the toon was taken from the PC game [[Wikipedia:SimCopter|Sim Copter]].
* There is a chain of frozen custard stands in New York, Montana, Iowa, and Kansas called Custard's Last Stand that Marshmallow's Last Stand may be based off of.

=== Fast Forward ===
*The [[Sound Effects|sound]] played when Strong Mad flies into space is used again much later in the [[Powered by The Cheat]] cartoon, "[[New Boots]]", the Strong Bad Email, "[[keep cool]]", and in "[[narrator]]", when [[Nebulon]] leaves.
*The sound played when Homestar is being slammed about by Strong Mad is the same sound used in the game [[Bronco Trolleys]], and also when [[Eh! Steve!]] jumps off-screen.
*The music played at the end is also used in [[Old Intro 2]]. It is also heard remixed in [[flashback]] after Strong Bad wins his very own The Cheat.
*This type of art, animation and comedy was parodied in the emails [[personal favorites]] and [[lady...ing]].
*The [[font]] used for the 1, 2, 3 count that appears when Homestar pins Strong Bad to the ground is the same as the [[Tandy 400]] font (which is Westminster).
*Homestar's comment on having eaten too many marshmallows mirrors a similar lamentation on drinking too many melonades in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].
*Two of the scenes from this toon were exaggerated in [[Exaggerations]].

== DVD Version ==
*The poor synching of the dialogue and the sound effects is much worse than on the website.
*The music from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is replaced with custom music sung by the Brothers Chaps probably due to copyright reasons; however, the original soundtrack can be heard during the commentary.
*The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''HOMESTAR:''' Best cartoon on the site!

'''MIKE:''' Hey, Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR:''' Best cartoon on the site!

'''MIKE:''' Hey, Homestar. ''{pause} {whispers to Matt}'' One more time.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Best cartoon on the site!

'''MIKE:''' All right.

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{to the same general tone and rhythm as "Best cartoon on the site."}'' Doot doot doo ba-da-doo!

'''MIKE:''' Okay, what's up, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, not a whole lot, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Well, you know, I got a question for you.

'''HOMESTAR:''' What?

'''MIKE:''' Why do you not have a hat in this cartoon?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Look, it was a, a sordid affair. Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Coz there was another cartoon called "Where My Hat Is At?" where you found your hat...

'''HOMESTAR:''' Right...

'''MIKE:''' And then...

'''HOMESTAR:''' Where do you think it was when I went home from this wrestling match?

'''MIKE:''' Was it back in the fridge—

'''HOMESTAR:''' Between the milk and the ''pickles'', this time.

'''MIKE:''' Oh.

'''HOMESTAR:''' I didn't have no more Cold Ones.

'''MIKE:''' ''{during the Brothers Strong entrance music}'' Listen to those—

'''HOMESTAR:''' That was loud.

'''MIKE:''' —abrasive riffs on the guitar.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Um... I look great. In this cartoon.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, you look great, you act great—

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' You seem real great.

'''HOMESTAR:''' I wish that old marshmallow place got that old wallpaper they had back. I like that stuff.

'''MIKE:''' The green stripes?

'''HOMESTAR:''' And the crazy changing... changing gag framed picture behind me.

'''MIKE:''' Strong Bad's head looks like it's got an orange, uh, stripe on the right side there, instead of a shadow like it should.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah. See, he doesn't look so good, but I look great. ''{In the cartoon, Strong Bad takes Homestar's star}'' Hey! I didn't even know that thing was removable. I thought you could see my portions when you—

'''MIKE:''' So your star's not—

'''HOMESTAR:''' —tore the star off.

'''MIKE:''' Your portions? ''{slight laugh}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Lots of silence, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah... We didn't, we didn't think music was the way to go back in these days.

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

'''HOMESTAR:''' Um, the arena. Where'd that go—

'''MIKE:''' Well, they tore it down—

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, is that what happened?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, they imploded that, uh...

'''HOMESTAR:''' That's too bad. What'd they build on top of it, Bubs' Concession Stand?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that's where Bubs' Concession Stand is now.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh... Where did all these people?— ''{laughing}''

'''MIKE:''' They all... The duck person...

'''HOMESTAR:''' Were they inside?

'''MIKE:''' Don King, you can see Don King there... They were all in—

'''HOMESTAR:''' When they imploded it?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR:''' That's terrible!

'''MIKE:''' Well, they chose to. Y'know, like those people who chain themselves to trees and—

'''HOMESTAR:''' Ohh...

'''MIKE:''' —in the forest.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Right, right. So they're protesting work.

'''MIKE:''' Right. Now, they got killed. ''{laughs}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Look, that's the "Taking Care of Business" logo on that microphone.

'''MIKE:''' Ah...

'''HOMESTAR:''' Sort of.

'''MIKE:''' TCB?

'''HOMESTAR:''' TC and B. ''{in the cartoon, the Announcer introduces Homestar and Pom Pom}'' This is just like our old wrestling days, with the big entrance, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Look, the bell's got a face. Is that—

'''HOMESTAR:''' That poor— that guy's dead too. That... what?

'''MIKE:''' The bell man?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah. ''{In the cartoon, Homestar attacks Strong Bad}'' ''Waaah!'' I can't do that as good as I used to...

'''MIKE:''' You dropped a big leg. You dropped a big leg, and he gets to the corner... Oh, he makes the tag!

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, that's too bad... Uh oh, Mike. See, what'd I tell ya? ''{Strong Mad enters the ring}'' That guy...

'''MIKE:''' The crap! Run away, Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR:''' They weren't very thrilled! They were appalled that this big guy got ahold of me and my mouth got so giant.

'''MIKE:''' Strong Bad's tights are blue there... Have they always been blue this whole cartoon?

'''HOMESTAR:''' I don't think so. ...Pom Pom's got a weird shaped head. Was that supposed to be some kind of perspective?

'''MIKE:''' It may have been perspective...

'''HOMESTAR:''' We're getting our butts kicked, Mike. I gotta tell ya.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Now what's going on?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Okay, there's the crowd. See, they were just worried about things, so they got quiet... And now—

'''MIKE:''' Pom Pom knows what he's doing.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, he's got a plan. ''{of Strong Mad}'' Look at those meaty palms. Strong Mad's got real meaty palms.

''{In the cartoon, Strong Mad flies into space, making the Nebulon sound}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{surprised}'' Nebulon! Where is he?

'''MIKE:''' You heard the Nebulon sound—

'''HOMESTAR:''' I heard him! He was just off-screen.

'''MIKE:''' ''{at nearly the same time}'' He must've been just off-screen. Ooh, a rare front view of yourself.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Ooh, it's true. Do you think Nebulon abducted Strong Mad there? ''{as the theme from ''The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'' plays}'' Don't listen very closely up here, Mike. Coz it's gonna be different later on. Um... Ooh, he's got the old helicopter move.

'''MIKE:''' You're not going to fall for that, are you?

'''HOMESTAR:''' No way, man.

'''MIKE:''' You're gonna give him a slow kick and then slowly lift him up.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, I barely got him over there. He made a very hollow noise when he hit the ground. Ooh, he's doing his "haselos theselos". Strong Bad used to, when he got real excited, he'd go, "Haselos theselos, haselos theselos".

''{In the toon, Homestar says, "I ate too many marshmallows."}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' So, wait, is that just you in the background going "buuyuuyuuyuu..."?

'''MIKE:''' Very possibly.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Nice. Oh, this is— ''{In the toon, Homestar spits the bomb at Strong Bad}'' Eew! That's disgusting! ''{Strong Bad blows up}'' Man, Mike... Ooh, I look good there. I did some damage to ol' Strong Bad's head.

'''MIKE:''' You did?

'''HOMESTAR:''' I gotta tell ya. Look, there's the Robot!

'''MIKE:''' There was the Robot, and, uh, Poopsmith.

'''HOMESTAR:''' He's barely got a— There musta been a plug under the seat where he was sittin'.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, yeah, coz he can't be very far away—

'''HOMESTAR:''' Else he would've been shut down.

'''MIKE:''' —with his four-foot extension cord, power cord.

'''HOMESTAR:''' That was a nice little, uh, photograph. I should start autographing those and giving them out.

'''MIKE:''' Glossies?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah—

'''MIKE:''' That's a glossy.

''{In the toon, Strong Bad tears up the star}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Hey! ''{He does a flying kick against Strong Bad}'' Ah, I did it again! Buh-lam, Mike! Buh-lam and the angel. That's a good metal band.

'''MIKE:''' Who just said that?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Uh, not me.

'''MIKE:''' Apparently not.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Don't look at me! I had that recorded, pre-recorded.

'''MIKE:''' So Pom Pom just hit "mash play" on the—

'''HOMESTAR:''' On a jambox. Pretty expensive. Inexpensive.

Joshcalvin:

Pages I've contributed to:
*[[slumber party]]: Caught the disconnected legs goof. I've also mentioned a goof about a hole in one of the drops of [[blood]] in the [[Clapping Party]] easter egg, but someone deleted that mention.
*[[Super NES]]: Mentioned that the Strong Bad-like character from the GamerJox webcomic from [[web comics]] has a green tongue in the "Fast Forward" section.
*[[Old-Timey Other Costumes]]: Made a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Viva_Pinata_episodes Six Million Dollar Pinata] joke as an easter egg (you can find the joke if you hover your mouse over the Homestar Runner (that's just a body) picture). (I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself)

'''Note that sometimes some of the pages don't work. Just try again at a later date.'''

== Toons ==

These are [[Toons]] or toon-like animations that are not advertised from the site. Some of them are incomplete.

The person who continually jumps jacks for the longest wins. Strong Bad cheats, of course. Based loosely on the Homestar Runner book, it has since been taken off the site for unknown reasons.

| [[Image:Superbrave.jpg|100px]] || '''[[Super Brave!!]]''' || A [[homestarrunner.com]] update for February 21, 2003. It featured a class full of kids who had each drawn a picture of Homestar Runner. You could move the mouse over the kids and see Homestar-esque drawings of each of them that were eventually used for characters appearing during the karaoke songs on strongbad_email.exe DVD #3. On February 24, the update was renamed to "these kids rule". || [[Mirror:superbrave.swf|View the Flash file]] (Mirror)

Three messages from the members of Limozeen are provided. The recipient of the E-Card would be sent an email with the URL of the card that was prepared for them. Although the feature itself has been removed from the site, going to the URL will show the loading screen.

|-
| [[Image:sbemail100.png|100px]] || '''[[Not the 100th Email!!!]]''' || This toon was purposefully never linked to at any time. This secret page was designed to be discovered by people trying to find the [[flashback|100th]] [[Strong Bad Email]] before it was released. This occurs by typing www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail100.html instead of www.homestarrunner.com/sbemailahundred.html || [[HR:sbemail100.html|Watch the toon]] [[HR:100th_email.swf|View the Flash file]]

| [[Image:Needlepoint.png|100px]] || '''[[Needlepoint]]''' || A seemingly unfinished small cartoon of Homestar and Strong Bad on a sewn picture, possibly a reference to the one scene in [[property of ones]]. Its picture features Strong Bad standing in [[The Field]]. Homestar Runner walks up in the right, stops next to Strong Bad and opens his mouth, possibly saying "'sup." The text "Get Rid of a Few Things!" appears below. A similar scene briefly appears in [[From the Vault]]. || [[HR:needlepoint.html|Watch the toon]] [[HR:needlepoint.swf|View the Flash file]]
|-
| [[Image:Easter_egg_toon.png|100px]] || '''[[Eggs (toon)|Eggs]]''' || Once linked through a [[main page message]] reading "[[from work|email]] soon," this unfinished special features Easter [[Eggs]] designed after Homestar, Marzipan, Pom Pom, and Strong Bad. || [[HR:eggs.html|Watch the toon]] [[HR:eggs.swf|View the Flash file]]
|- bgcolor=#CCCCCC
! colspan=4 | Alternate versions of toons
|-
| [[Image:Secret Answering Machine.PNG|100px]] || '''Marzipan's Answering Machine''' || This is just [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 1.0]], possibly before more versions were planned. It has a few minor differences from the current version. The font is a little different for both the number and the back link, it doesn't have the archive menu, and the Back button links to the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games Menu]]. || [[HR:answer.html|Watch the toon]] [[HR:answer.swf|View the Flash file]]
|-
| || '''[[The King of Town DVD Commentary#Secret Commentary|The King of Town DVD Secret Commentary]]''' || This is a secret version of [[The King of Town DVD Commentary|Strong Bad's Commentary]] for the [[The King of Town DVD]] without any visuals. It is identical to the normal version except for the end, where it explains why Strong Bad did the commentary. || [[HR:sb_kingcomment.swf|View the Flash file]]

| [[Image:Yellodellowdeleted.png|100px]] || '''[[In Search of the Yello Dello Deleted Scenes#Secret Deleted Scene|Secret Yello Dello Deleted Scene]]''' || This is the scene from the [[In Search of the Yello Dello]] DVD where Strong Bad is talking with Marzipan, but it has a strange commentary at the beginning. || [[HR:dellocut_2.html|Watch the toon]] [[HR:dellocut_2.swf|View the Flash file]]
|-
| [[Image:sbemail46.PNG|100px]] || '''Old "[[your friends]]"''' || This is an alternate version of the email [[your friends]]. Differences: Strong Bad's mouth isn't visible in the reflection when he sings the email intro. The announcer on the TV [[Strong Mad]] is watching doesn't say "Some type of TV show." The background music stops at [[Strong Sad]]'s scene. Some extra buzz saw blades and a bottle of hot sauce behind Strong Bad are gone in [[Marzipan]]'s scene. The Cheat doesn't yell at Strong Bad, and Pom Pom does one less turn. Strong Bad isn't holding a bottle of hot sauce in [[Homsar]]'s scene. At the end, Strong Bad says the word "fans" a little differently.
|| [[HR:sbemail46.swf|View the Flash file]]
|-
| [[Image:Unfinished Interview.PNG|100px]] || '''Metro.pop Interview''' || An unfinished version of the overlooked short [[The Interview]]. Among other differences between it and the final, the loading screen is missing, Strong Bad and Homestar talk without moving their mouths in the second half, Homestar doesn't show Strong Bad his shopping list (or "resume", as Homestar calls it), Strong Bad's last line is "Thank you for your time" as opposed to "Get out of my face," and the short repeats itself at the end. || [[HR:interview2.html|Watch the toon]] [[HR:interview2.swf|View the Flash file]]

! colspan=4 | Old Toons Menus
|-
| || '''[[Oldest Toons Menu]]''' || Presumably an old toons menu. The toons.swf file is embedded in this page. However, the swf file is no longer on the site. This text is contained in the page source: <blockquote>''"Kick the Can an ancient homestar cartoon found in the ruins of Pompei the isle of Pom a sweet little story about the big, round, yellow one. Pom-Pom i think is his name. The King of Town The King of Town has lost his crown. No, wait. I mean his sheep. Marshmallow's Last Stand What more is there to life than marshmallows and tag-team wrestling?"'' </blockquote> This menu was most likely the earliest one on the site, but this isn't certain. Because it has very few toons, and even has the Isle of Pom according to the source, it probably came before the lava lamp toons menu. || [[HR:toonsold.html|View the menu]]
|-
| [[Image:lavalamptoons.png|100px]] || '''[[Lava Lamp Toons Menu]]''' || An old toons menu with a lava lamp as a back button. The remote was used in the museum, but with only [[Single-button_remote_control|1 button.]] || [[HR:toonsold.swf|View the Flash file]]
|-
| [[Image:Newer Telebision Toons Menu.png|100px]] || '''[[Telebision Toons Menu]]''' || An old [[Toons]] menu, see its page for details.

It also had Features instead of individual buttons for [[Strong Bad Email]], [[Teen Girl Squad]] and [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]]. Instead of a scrollbar, the longer lists had flaps and two separate pages that you could move back and forth on. The newest cartoon was [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]]. || [[Mirror:20040622_Old_Remote_Toons_Menu.html|View the menu]] (mirror)

Also, the buttons on the left don't work correctly. Also note that email is above downloads, instead of below store. The only button with a special effect is "Email", which is the same as the normal main page 6 (except that Strong Bad's mouth doesn't open in surprise). Also, Homestar's mouth will move when the downloads or store buttons are moused over, but he won't say anything. Only downloads actually works.

Joshcalvin: /* Appearances */

[[Image:PBSViewer.png|thumb|...and a grant from The Cheat]]
Within the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work, there are a number of references to '''[[Wikipedia:Public Broadcasting Service|PBS]]''' or to shows which appear on PBS.

==Appearances==
*Email [[autobiography]] - [[Strong Bad]]'s intro ("This email is brought to you by a grant from [[The Cheat]] and the support of Viewers Like You") comes from the start of most Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) television programs.
*Email [[morning routine]] - [[Strong Sad]] says he wants to "watch that show on public broadcasting hosted by that British guy."
*Email [[for kids]] - This email is based on a number of ideas from PBS television shows. Some of the references include:
:* The noise [[Homsar]] makes when he teleports around are similar to noises on the PBS show [[Wikipedia:Boohbah|Boohbah]].
:* Homsar asking the kids if they want to "hear of (the song) 50 times more" may be a reference to the PBS show [[Wikipedia:Teletubbies|Teletubbies]], in which whenever a "real-life" clip is shown, it is always repeated per request of the Teletubbies.
*Email [[radio]] — Marzipan listens to a [[Radio Stations and Shows|radio station]] titled "PRS" (Public Radio Sounds).
*Email [[underlings]] — Strong Bad states he finds [[Wikipedia:NOVA|NOVA]] boring, making fun of an emailer's location, apparently called [[Wikipedia:Nova_Scotia|Nova Scotia]]

Quote of the Week

2007-11-01T19:39:14Z

Joshcalvin: /* Quotes */

[[Image:Quote Of Week Box Design All.PNG|thumb|The old, the new, the newer, and the loading.]]

The '''Quote of the Week''' is a sound bite from the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work. These are found by clicking on the ''Q'' at the top of the [[Main Pages]], and are generally updated each week on Thursday. Here is a list of all Quotes of the Week collected since this feature started on January 10, 2002, under the name "Quote of the day". Since early 2004, the Quote of the Week was updated with more regularity. For some time before then, the quote of the week was a "[[Main Page Messages|what's new?]]" oval button. The dates of some quotes are estimated on the basis of the file-modified date.

:''For the July 29–November 11, 2004 quotes, the quote was only available as a .zip file. As of the November 22 quote, however, the download option appears to only be as a straight MP3, and The Brothers Chaps appear to be deleting each quote of the week as soon as the next one is released.''

:''Quotes after November 11, 2004 are transcribed on the website. Directly saving and opening the [[HR:qod.swf|Flash file]] produces some odd results; the standard Homestar image will appear along with a default message, as shown on the right.''

:''On July 27, 2006, a "loading" box was added for while the quote was loading, probably due to the unusual length of that day's quote. The following week, on August 3, 2006, the loading box was removed.''

==Fun Facts==
*If there is a problem finding the [[Secret Pages XML Source#Weeklies XML File|weeklies XML file]], the text (which has no sound) is Homestar saying:<blockquote>"Oh Haldo! This is my funniest word style ever times that I've said! Hope all is on to it even more lately! And I wish the chicken & msg place was open on Somedays"</blockquote>
**This makes references to [[Peasant's Quest]] ([[Unusual Greetings#Haldo|Haldo]]), [[for kids]] ([[all is on]]), [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]] (MSG), and [[monster truck]] (Somedays).
*Formerly, the text was:<blockquote>"Oh Hello! This is my funniest word style ever that I said! Hope you're into it!"</blockquote>
*Occasionally, some quotes will be used twice.
**Homsar's "I'm the human wedgie" quote was used twice. Although the two sound bites were identical, the text used in both cases were slightly different. (The first time it was "I'm" whereas the second was "AAAaaaAAh'm").
**Homestar's "The good times are over!" quote was also used twice, with spelling differences (lower-case letters instead of caps.) However, this probably was an accident or a placeholder, as it was changed the following day.
**Although it wasn't identical, Bubs had a line as well, "Everybody knows me. Mine name Cornbread.", that is very similar to "I got it-I got everything you wan know. Everybody know me, my name Cornbread."
**The Homestar Runner's quote had only one difference; there was a colon on March 31, 2005, while ellipses were used on November 30, 2006.
**The Sickly Sam quotes released on October 25, 2007, and September 22, 2005 were identical. However, the 2007 quote was changed within hours of being released. The quote it was changed to was suggested in the edit summary of [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Quote_of_the_Week&diff=next&oldid=507707 the edit adding the Sickly Sam quote to this page].
*Homestar's October 27, 2004 quote, "That's bupkis!", contains a misspelling of the Yiddish word "bupkes" which literally means "beans" but in this sense means "nothing".
*In Bubs' quote from June 30th, 2005, "Check it out" was said 16 times.
*Strong Bad's quote from June 10th, 2005, was never featured on the site. Instead, it was said in "[[Where the Crap Are We?]]", which is an Easter egg in Macromedia Central.
*February 9, 2006's quote calls the feature "Quote of the Day" rather than its typical name "Quote of the Week".
*When using a [[Quote of the Week Character Heads|character head]] that hasn't been added yet, Homestar's head is used until the appropriate character's head is uploaded. This has happened several times.
*Strong Sad's quote about tai chi may be a nod to The Simpsons episode "[http://www.snpp.com/episodes/BABF22 HOMЯ]", which had a similar tai chi/chai tea gag.
*The May 4, 2006 quote spelled the name of Strong Bad's [[Strong Bad's Ladies|imaginary girlfriend]] as "Delelilia". However, in [[senior prom]], her name was spelled "Delilelia".
*In the June 29, 2006 quote, "Circle gets the square" is a reference to the game show [[Wikipedia:Hollywood Squares|Hollywood Squares]], which is based on tic-tac-toe; the accompanying phrase is "X gets the square." [[Wikipedia:Shadoe Stevens|Shadoe Stevens]] was the announcer for two incarnations of the show (the John Davidson and Tom Bergeron hosted versions), and occupied a square on the Davidson version.
*The November 17, 2006 quote is titled as an "outtake" in the [[Wikipedia:ID3|ID3]] tag. The quote may have originally been an outtake, then added to the toon as an Easter Egg.
*The December 14, 2006 quote mentions "Montelbon", probably a reference to [[Wikipedia:Ricardo Montalbán|Ricardo Montalbán]].
*On December 21, 2006, only the Quote of the Week was updated; the Weekly Fanstuff and Sketchbook were not.
*Until August 9, 2007, the Quote of the Week of June 21, 2007 had not been updated for seven weeks, the longest hiatus between pop-up updates on record.
**The word that Bubs spells in that quote is [[Wikipedia:Nestle|Nestles]], a Swiss maker of candy and other food products. It's a reference to a Nestle's [http://www.archive.org/download/RadioCommercialsShows/Commercials.19xx.xx.xx_N_E_S_T_L_E_S.mp3 long standing jingle], "N-E-S-T-L-E-S, Nestle's makes the very best", especially its Alpine White version from the '80s, "Sweet dreams you can't resist. N-E-S-T-L-E-S."
*The September 13, 2007 quote references [[Wikipedia:Frosty|Frosties]] and [[Wikipedia:McFlurry|McFlurries]], ice cream treats served at [[Wikipedia:Wendy's|Wendy's]] and [[Wikipedia:McDonald's|McDonald's]], respectively.
*The September 27, 2007 quote mentions [[Wikipedia:Polychaete|polychaete worms]], a class of worms that are known for their bristles and marine environments.

Quote of the Week

2007-11-01T19:38:36Z

Joshcalvin: /* Quotes */

[[Image:Quote Of Week Box Design All.PNG|thumb|The old, the new, the newer, and the loading.]]

The '''Quote of the Week''' is a sound bite from the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work. These are found by clicking on the ''Q'' at the top of the [[Main Pages]], and are generally updated each week on Thursday. Here is a list of all Quotes of the Week collected since this feature started on January 10, 2002, under the name "Quote of the day". Since early 2004, the Quote of the Week was updated with more regularity. For some time before then, the quote of the week was a "[[Main Page Messages|what's new?]]" oval button. The dates of some quotes are estimated on the basis of the file-modified date.

:''For the July 29–November 11, 2004 quotes, the quote was only available as a .zip file. As of the November 22 quote, however, the download option appears to only be as a straight MP3, and The Brothers Chaps appear to be deleting each quote of the week as soon as the next one is released.''

:''Quotes after November 11, 2004 are transcribed on the website. Directly saving and opening the [[HR:qod.swf|Flash file]] produces some odd results; the standard Homestar image will appear along with a default message, as shown on the right.''

:''On July 27, 2006, a "loading" box was added for while the quote was loading, probably due to the unusual length of that day's quote. The following week, on August 3, 2006, the loading box was removed.''

==Fun Facts==
*If there is a problem finding the [[Secret Pages XML Source#Weeklies XML File|weeklies XML file]], the text (which has no sound) is Homestar saying:<blockquote>"Oh Haldo! This is my funniest word style ever times that I've said! Hope all is on to it even more lately! And I wish the chicken & msg place was open on Somedays"</blockquote>
**This makes references to [[Peasant's Quest]] ([[Unusual Greetings#Haldo|Haldo]]), [[for kids]] ([[all is on]]), [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]] (MSG), and [[monster truck]] (Somedays).
*Formerly, the text was:<blockquote>"Oh Hello! This is my funniest word style ever that I said! Hope you're into it!"</blockquote>
*Occasionally, some quotes will be used twice.
**Homsar's "I'm the human wedgie" quote was used twice. Although the two sound bites were identical, the text used in both cases were slightly different. (The first time it was "I'm" whereas the second was "AAAaaaAAh'm").
**Homestar's "The good times are over!" quote was also used twice, with spelling differences (lower-case letters instead of caps.) However, this probably was an accident or a placeholder, as it was changed the following day.
**Although it wasn't identical, Bubs had a line as well, "Everybody knows me. Mine name Cornbread.", that is very similar to "I got it-I got everything you wan know. Everybody know me, my name Cornbread."
**The Homestar Runner's quote had only one difference; there was a colon on March 31, 2005, while ellipses were used on November 30, 2006.
**The Sickly Sam quotes released on October 25, 2007, and September 22, 2005 were identical. However, the 2007 quote was changed within hours of being released. The quote it was changed to was suggested in the edit summary of [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Quote_of_the_Week&diff=next&oldid=507707 the edit adding the Sickly Sam quote to this page].
*Homestar's October 27, 2004 quote, "That's bupkis!", contains a misspelling of the Yiddish word "bupkes" which literally means "beans" but in this sense means "nothing".
*In Bubs' quote from June 30th, 2005, "Check it out" was said 16 times.
*Strong Bad's quote from June 10th, 2005, was never featured on the site. Instead, it was said in "[[Where the Crap Are We?]]", which is an Easter egg in Macromedia Central.
*February 9, 2006's quote calls the feature "Quote of the Day" rather than its typical name "Quote of the Week".
*When using a [[Quote of the Week Character Heads|character head]] that hasn't been added yet, Homestar's head is used until the appropriate character's head is uploaded. This has happened several times.
*Strong Sad's quote about tai chi may be a nod to The Simpsons episode "[http://www.snpp.com/episodes/BABF22 HOMЯ]", which had a similar tai chi/chai tea gag.
*The May 4, 2006 quote spelled the name of Strong Bad's [[Strong Bad's Ladies|imaginary girlfriend]] as "Delelilia". However, in [[senior prom]], her name was spelled "Delilelia".
*In the June 29, 2006 quote, "Circle gets the square" is a reference to the game show [[Wikipedia:Hollywood Squares|Hollywood Squares]], which is based on tic-tac-toe; the accompanying phrase is "X gets the square." [[Wikipedia:Shadoe Stevens|Shadoe Stevens]] was the announcer for two incarnations of the show (the John Davidson and Tom Bergeron hosted versions), and occupied a square on the Davidson version.
*The November 17, 2006 quote is titled as an "outtake" in the [[Wikipedia:ID3|ID3]] tag. The quote may have originally been an outtake, then added to the toon as an Easter Egg.
*The December 14, 2006 quote mentions "Montelbon", probably a reference to [[Wikipedia:Ricardo Montalbán|Ricardo Montalbán]].
*On December 21, 2006, only the Quote of the Week was updated; the Weekly Fanstuff and Sketchbook were not.
*Until August 9, 2007, the Quote of the Week of June 21, 2007 had not been updated for seven weeks, the longest hiatus between pop-up updates on record.
**The word that Bubs spells in that quote is [[Wikipedia:Nestle|Nestles]], a Swiss maker of candy and other food products. It's a reference to a Nestle's [http://www.archive.org/download/RadioCommercialsShows/Commercials.19xx.xx.xx_N_E_S_T_L_E_S.mp3 long standing jingle], "N-E-S-T-L-E-S, Nestle's makes the very best", especially its Alpine White version from the '80s, "Sweet dreams you can't resist. N-E-S-T-L-E-S."
*The September 13, 2007 quote references [[Wikipedia:Frosty|Frosties]] and [[Wikipedia:McFlurry|McFlurries]], ice cream treats served at [[Wikipedia:Wendy's|Wendy's]] and [[Wikipedia:McDonald's|McDonald's]], respectively.
*The September 27, 2007 quote mentions [[Wikipedia:Polychaete|polychaete worms]], a class of worms that are known for their bristles and marine environments.

Lack of Visible Arms

2007-10-12T23:03:01Z

Joshcalvin: /* Strong Bad's Hair */

[[Image:Homestar's Arms.PNG|thumb|Homestar with "arms"]]
One of the ultimate mysteries in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner body of work]] is that [[Homestar Runner]], [[Marzipan]], [[The King of Town]], [[Homsar]], and many other characters all '''lack visible arms''' and hands. In spite of this, they have the ability to pick up and carry objects. The most common explanations for this phenomenon are that they either have invisible arms or can manipulate objects with some kind of [[Wikipedia:psychokinesis|psychokinesis]]. Some suggest the latter over the former, as these characters' articles of clothing rarely have holes where arms would normally be. Usually none of the other characters seem to pay attention to this curiosity, although sometimes their lack of arms is referenced.

==References==

*'''[[Stinkomanual]]''' — Level 5's intro reads, "1-Up takes matters into his own, um, torso!"
*'''[[No Hands On Deck!]]''' — Homestar's lack of hands, which comes with his lack of arms, is referred to in the title and in a newspaper headline within the toon.

==Oddities==
[[Image:mrhomestarms.PNG|thumb|Sketch with arms]]
*'''[[In Search of the Yello Dello]]''' — Marzipan slaps Homestar across the face, leaving a visible handprint.
**In the commentary, Strong Bad says that Marzipan has really nice hands and Homestar replies, "Yeah, I suppose she does."
*'''[[In Search of the Yello Dello New Version]]''' — Marzipan asks if the [[oven mitts]] Strong Bad is wearing are hers, but she would not need oven mitts if she has no hands.
*'''[[The Reddest Radish]]''' — Marzipan knocks on the door of Homestar's house with her head, despite the fact she could have used her invisible arms/telekinetic powers instead.
**Likewise, in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], Homestar knocks on Marzipan's door with his head, although this could be due to his silliness, or possibly because he's holding his bagful of candy with both "hands".
*'''[[A Jumping Jack Contest]]''' — [[The Announcer]] proclaims that Homestar has completed the most jumping jacks despite the fact it would be hard to tell if he ever stopped clapping his "hands."

*Email '''[[your friends]]''' — When Strong Bad asks Marzipan to hold out her hands, she just says she doesn't want to. Of course, Strong Bad is preparing to hand her a saw blade, so perhaps Marzipan is just refusing to put herself in a dangerous position.
*Email '''[[the show]]''' and '''[[Main Page 19]]''' — Homestar holds a microphone and sorts through a stack of index cards at the same time. This action could require more than two hands.

Lack of Visible Arms

2007-10-12T23:01:44Z

Joshcalvin: /* Strong Bad's Nose */

[[Image:Homestar's Arms.PNG|thumb|Homestar with "arms"]]
One of the ultimate mysteries in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner body of work]] is that [[Homestar Runner]], [[Marzipan]], [[The King of Town]], [[Homsar]], and many other characters all '''lack visible arms''' and hands. In spite of this, they have the ability to pick up and carry objects. The most common explanations for this phenomenon are that they either have invisible arms or can manipulate objects with some kind of [[Wikipedia:psychokinesis|psychokinesis]]. Some suggest the latter over the former, as these characters' articles of clothing rarely have holes where arms would normally be. Usually none of the other characters seem to pay attention to this curiosity, although sometimes their lack of arms is referenced.

Lack of Visible Arms

Joshcalvin: /* Strong Bad's Nose */

[[Image:Homestar's Arms.PNG|thumb|Homestar with "arms"]]
One of the ultimate mysteries in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner body of work]] is that [[Homestar Runner]], [[Marzipan]], [[The King of Town]], [[Homsar]], and many other characters all '''lack visible arms''' and hands. In spite of this, they have the ability to pick up and carry objects. The most common explanations for this phenomenon are that they either have invisible arms or can manipulate objects with some kind of [[Wikipedia:psychokinesis|psychokinesis]]. Some suggest the latter over the former, as these characters' articles of clothing rarely have holes where arms would normally be. Usually none of the other characters seem to pay attention to this curiosity, although sometimes their lack of arms is referenced.

''No translation exists (nonsense text)''

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*''Mario Paint'' was a video game made for the [[Nintendo#Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)|Super NES]], and upon its initial release was packaged in a larger box with the Super NES Mouse, a two-button peripheral that perfectly emulated a real computer mouse. (The mouse came with its own plastic pad.) A few other Super NES games also worked with the mouse. ''Mario Paint'' itself was not so much a game as it was an art program. It worked like similar computer programs marketed for kids, such as ''[[Wikipedia:Kid Pix|Kid Pix]]''. The game let you use the mouse to paint a large 16-color (15 actual colors plus [[Wikipedia:Transparency (graphic)|transparency]]) picture with various tools, as well as place a smaller animation on top of it. It also had a simple music-making mode. One picture, animation, and music track could collectively be saved onto the cartridge's memory. ''Mario Paint'' was quite popular for its time, enough so that Nintendo released a Player's Guide shortly after ''Mario Paint'' hit stores. This long guide contained tons of information on how to get the most out of the game.

===Trivia===
*[[Matt Chapman|Matt]] and [[Craig Zobel|Craig]] made this for [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] for Christmas.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad's tongue appears to be green.
*The Japanese characters are mainly written in [[Wikipedia:Katakana|katakana]], which is a character set used in written Japanese used primarily to write foreign words and [[onomatopoeia]]. The exception is the "Homestar with yellow background" screen which also contains [[Wikipedia:Hiragana|hiragana]], which are used in a more general-purpose fashion in conjunction with [[Wikipedia:Kanji|kanji]]. The Japanese text in this cartoon does not translate to anything meaningful, however.
*Almost all of the animations are possible in ''Mario Paint''. ''Mario Paint'' allows four, six, or nine frame animations, which loop, but the animation is a [[Wikipedia:Sprite (computer graphics)|sprite]] and can follow a user defined path, which is what most of the animations do. The last animation (the "drip") is one of the full-screen erase effects in ''Mario Paint''. The only animations that do not look possible in ''Mario Paint'' are the intro text, the outro "Copyright" text in the old version, both with accompanying fades, and the close up of Homestar with the moving horizontal black moving lines which cover the entire screen. A ''Mario Paint'' animation can only be 1/4 of the screen at its largest - and, indeed, the scene is zoomed in relative to the others (check the larger pixels)
*The music that accompanies this toon could not have been made using ''Mario Paint'', which has a fixed note length and can only play notes in the [[Wikipedia:C major|C major]] [[Wikipedia:Musical scale|scale]].
*The music was created on the MT-100, a small electronic keyboard made by Casio in the early 80's. The accompanying bass and percussion line consists of pre-programmed riffs which are supplemented with a single-line melody. This keyboard is also used for a variety of other H*R sound effects and background music segments.
*''Mario Paint'' can only handle one scene at a time, so each scene must be created and recorded individually, and then spliced together at the end. After being spliced together, the music and singing would be [[Wikipedia:Dubbing (filmmaking)|dubbed]] over the recording.
*There seems to be several discolorations within the movie. For example, Pom Pom is shown with a white head in the soccer scene, Strong Mad's singlet is black a la [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], Homestar's visor is blue and Strong Sad is orange.

===Real-World References===
* The page title references the classic [[Nintendo#Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)|NES]] game ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]]''
* The animation of Homestar swinging a bat mimics one of the sample animations included in the manual for the Etch-A-Sketch Animator

===Fast Forward===
*This song is re-made with higher-quality sound and Flash graphics in [[Theme Song Video]]. The song also makes a brief reappearance in [[isp|Strong Bad Email #152: isp]] ''(Easter egg only)'', [[Bug In Mouth Disease]] and [[The King of Town DVD]].
*''Mario Paint'' is used again in [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]].
*In [[Stinkoman 20X6]], [[Stinkoman]]'s tongue is green when his "stummy" hurts.
*The Strong Bad-like character in the GamerJox webcomic has a green tongue in [[web comics]].

== DVD Version ==
*The framerate is a lot better on the DVD, due to restrictions with Flash 5. In some scenes where the characters are moving freely around, you'll most likely notice a "smoother" animation.
*The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MATT:''' Merry Christmas, Donnie.

'''MIKE:''' Aw, this looks beautiful!

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it's a good thing we filmed the TV so nicely!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah!

'''MATT:''' So this was done in Mario Paint for the Super Nintendo. The first animated footage of Homestar.

'''MIKE:''' So why didn't we just... was it so... ah. I don't even know.

'''MATT:''' Why we filmed the TV and just outputted each individual scene? Look at that smooth animation there.

'''MIKE:''' That's nice!

'''MATT:''' Oh, he struggled there a little. And Pom Pom's got a white head there for some reason. He's green. I don't think that's just discoloration, I think it's green... like neon green. Aw, Homestar's in a rocket! So there were some limitations to Mario Paint.

'''MIKE:''' Apparently.

'''MATT:''' Yes. It's a... it flip-flopped between being pretty impressive what you could do with it, and then being really unimpressive, what you couldn't do with it.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' There's a lot of Japanese kanji characters you had access to.

'''MIKE:''' Kanji? Is that what it's called?

'''MATT:''' I don't know. Look, it's flesh-colored Strong Sad!

'''MIKE:''' That's horrible. Look at that...

'''MATT:''' The tongue!

'''MIKE:''' And teeth for that matter!

'''MATT:''' Yeah. There was some nice transitions like this one you could do.

'''MIKE:''' Rain.

'''MATT:''' Undo Dog. Undo—''{barks like a dog}''

''{Mike sneezes}''

'''MATT:''' And sneeze occasionally.

It worked like similar computer programs marketed for kids, such as ''[[Wikipedia:Kid Pix|Kid Pix]]''. The game let you use the mouse to paint a large 16-color (15 actual colors plus [[Wikipedia:Transparency (graphic)|transparency]]) picture with various tools, as well as place a smaller animation on top of it. It also had a simple music-making mode. One picture, animation, and music track could collectively be saved onto the cartridge's memory. ''Mario Paint'' was quite popular for its time, enough so that Nintendo released a Player's Guide shortly after ''Mario Paint'' hit stores. This long guide contained tons of information on how to get the most out of the game.

===Trivia===
*[[Matt Chapman|Matt]] and [[Craig Zobel|Craig]] made this for [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] for Christmas.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad's tongue appears to be green.
*The Japanese characters are mainly written in [[Wikipedia:Katakana|katakana]], which is a character set used in written Japanese used primarily to write foreign words and [[onomatopoeia]]. The exception is the "Homestar with yellow background" screen which also contains [[Wikipedia:Hiragana|hiragana]], which are used in a more general-purpose fashion in conjunction with [[Wikipedia:Kanji|kanji]]. The Japanese text in this cartoon does not translate to anything meaningful, however.
*Almost all of the animations are possible in ''Mario Paint''. ''Mario Paint'' allows four, six, or nine frame animations, which loop, but the animation is a [[Wikipedia:Sprite (computer graphics)|sprite]] and can follow a user defined path, which is what most of the animations do. The last animation (the "drip") is one of the full-screen erase effects in ''Mario Paint''. The only animations that do not look possible in ''Mario Paint'' are the intro text, the outro "Copyright" text in the old version, both with accompanying fades, and the close up of Homestar with the moving horizontal black moving lines which cover the entire screen. A ''Mario Paint'' animation can only be 1/4 of the screen at its largest - and, indeed, the scene is zoomed in relative to the others (check the larger pixels)
*The music that accompanies this toon could not have been made using ''Mario Paint'', which has a fixed note length and can only play notes in the [[Wikipedia:C major|C major]] [[Wikipedia:Musical scale|scale]].
*The music was created on the MT-100, a small electronic keyboard made by Casio in the early 80's. The accompanying bass and percussion line consists of pre-programmed riffs which are supplemented with a single-line melody. This keyboard is also used for a variety of other H*R sound effects and background music segments.
*''Mario Paint'' can only handle one scene at a time, so each scene must be created and recorded individually, and then spliced together at the end. After being spliced together, the music and singing would be [[Wikipedia:Dubbing (filmmaking)|dubbed]] over the recording.
*There seems to be several discolorations within the movie. For example, Pom Pom is shown with a white head in the soccer scene, Strong Mad's singlet is black a la [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], Homestar's visor is blue and Strong Sad is orange.

===Real-World References===
* The page title references the classic [[Nintendo#Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)|NES]] game ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]]''
* The animation of Homestar swinging a bat mimics one of the sample animations included in the manual for the Etch-A-Sketch Animator

===Fast Forward===
*This song is re-made with higher-quality sound and Flash graphics in [[Theme Song Video]]. The song also makes a brief reappearance in [[isp|Strong Bad Email #152: isp]] ''(Easter egg only)'', [[Bug In Mouth Disease]] and [[The King of Town DVD]].
*''Mario Paint'' is used again in [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]].
*In [[Stinkoman 20X6]], [[Stinkoman]]'s tongue is green when his "stummy" hurts.
*The Strong Bad-like character in the GamerJox webcomic has a green tongue in [[web comics]]

== DVD Version ==
*The framerate is a lot better on the DVD, due to restrictions with Flash 5. In some scenes where the characters are moving freely around, you'll most likely notice a "smoother" animation.
*The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MATT:''' Merry Christmas, Donnie.

'''MIKE:''' Aw, this looks beautiful!

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it's a good thing we filmed the TV so nicely!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah!

'''MATT:''' So this was done in Mario Paint for the Super Nintendo. The first animated footage of Homestar.

'''MIKE:''' So why didn't we just... was it so... ah. I don't even know.

'''MATT:''' Why we filmed the TV and just outputted each individual scene? Look at that smooth animation there.

'''MIKE:''' That's nice!

'''MATT:''' Oh, he struggled there a little. And Pom Pom's got a white head there for some reason. He's green. I don't think that's just discoloration, I think it's green... like neon green. Aw, Homestar's in a rocket! So there were some limitations to Mario Paint.

'''MIKE:''' Apparently.

'''MATT:''' Yes. It's a... it flip-flopped between being pretty impressive what you could do with it, and then being really unimpressive, what you couldn't do with it.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' There's a lot of Japanese kanji characters you had access to.

'''MIKE:''' Kanji? Is that what it's called?

'''MATT:''' I don't know. Look, it's flesh-colored Strong Sad!

'''MIKE:''' That's horrible. Look at that...

'''MATT:''' The tongue!

'''MIKE:''' And teeth for that matter!

'''MATT:''' Yeah. There was some nice transitions like this one you could do.

'''MIKE:''' Rain.

'''MATT:''' Undo Dog. Undo—''{barks like a dog}''

''{Mike sneezes}''

'''MATT:''' And sneeze occasionally.

'''Stinkoman Sunday Fun Talk''' (alternately '''Make-O Your Own Stinko''') is a hidden Easter egg found in [[web comics]]. You can create your own Stinkoman 20X6 themed comic just like [[Strong Bad]], by selecting from numerous characters, objects, and backgrounds from the [[Stinkoman 20X6|game of the same name]] in up to four panels. Each sprite can be resized, rotated, and flipped, and you can add any text you want into the talk bubbles. When you're all done, there is an option to print it out.

The backgrounds that can be used are from [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 1|Level 1 (Go Home)]], [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 2|Level 2 (Pick a Bone)]], [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 4|Level 4 (Fisticuff)]], [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 5|Level 5 (Oh the Moon)]], [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 6|Level 6 (Stratosfear)]], [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 7|Level 7 (Ice 2 Meet U)]], and [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 9|Level 9 (Turbolence)]] respectively.

''"Who's faster than Kid Speedy? EVERYBODY!! This little fatso is the slowest poke in the bunch. Try not to get dead last while avoiding sweets and insults in this hilarious arcade-style race 'em up."'' — Videlectrix

'''Kid Speedy''' is a game in which you play the character Kid Speedy, trying to win a race (or, at least, not come in last). The game was originally only mentioned in the [[Videlectrix]] game catalog; it was made available for play on July 10, 2006.

'''Date:''' Monday, July 10, 2006

'''Page Title:''' Don't Forget Your Inhaler!

'''Viidelectrix Page Title:''' Kid Weedy

==The Game==
[[Image:Kidspeedy intstructions.PNG|thumb|Instructions]]
To qualify for the next race, you must finish the four-man race third place or above. By collecting vegetables and happy faces, you make your character go faster (with one exception, see [[#Trivia|trivia]]). Collecting junk food or [[swears]] causes your character to lose all speed.
The player can race the chosen character on eleven different courses: Jelly Woods Fun Run, Cheese Puff Hills 2 Mile, Porkchop Wilds 5K, Egg Mountain Minithon, Probate Flats Walk-a-thon, [[Wikipedia:Indiana|Indiana]], [[Wikipedia:Chicago Loop|The Loop]], Demon's Rub Marathon, Doomed Souls Charity Trudge, Caramel Canyon Walk, and Crumble Star Sprintup (the last four tracks are only accessible if you are playing as a specific character, see trivia). Each track has borders resembling the name (example: Cheese Puff Hills has orange borders).

The game consists of two modes: 1 Player and "Online Play". However, all of the runners, in both modes, are computer controlled. The loading online players screen is just for show.

If you do not finish dead last, you "Qualify". If you lose, you get the message "YOU GOT DEAD LAST!"

==The Ending==
===As Kid Speedy===

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{subtitled}'' NOW WE HAVE ENOUGH FOR A HYBRID CAR, OR MAYBE...

''{Homestar and Marzipan drive for a while in their new car. A screen showing yellow, blown-up text "the end" appears.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*While Homestar and Marzipan are driving at the end of the game, you can control the car with the left and right keys.
*At the title screen, you can press "s", "k" or "h" ten times to start the game as Strong Sad, The King of Town or Homestar Runner, respectively.

==Fun Facts==
[[Image:Kidspeedy strong sad mode.PNG|thumb|Strong Sad mode]]
===Explanations===
*The term "Race 'em up" is based on the more logically named term "Shoot 'em up".
**It may also be a reference to [[Dan]] (fry 'em up, Dan; blast em up, Dan).
*Kid Speedy is most likely a parody of "educational" computer games that often promote nutrition.

===Trivia===
*Each race starts with the message "Ready! Set! OK, now go."
*If you win the game, you unlock "Strong Sad Mode", where your character becomes Strong Sad. Beating the game as Strong Sad unlocks "KOT Mode" where you play as The King of Town. Beating the game again finally unlocks "Homestar Mode" where you play as Homestar Runner.
*When you play the last race, a group of runners will pass you and your opponents very quickly (They can be seen in the left margin of every race, running in place, if you play the Flash file). If your last race is the shortest race, Egg Mountain Minithon (#4), then these runners can finish the race in under seven seconds.
[[Image:Kid speedy box art.PNG|thumb|Kid Speedy box art]]
*Currently, the box art for Kid Speedy reads "BOX ART UNAVAILABLE!".
* The gameplay is very random: It is possible to acquire every healthy food item in the course and only them, and still lose.
*"The Loop" is the only level in the game whose preview shows a design that doesn't loop.
*On July 17, 2006, version 1.new was released, with several changes:
**Added The King of Town and Homestar Runner as unlockable characters – previously, only Strong Sad could be unlocked, and Kid Speedy would still appear at the end of each level and the end of the game.
**Added tomato and cookie items.
**Food items bob up and down on some levels now.
**The 8th level now changes depending on your character:
***Kid Speedy— Demon's Rub Marathon
***Strong Sad— Doomed Souls Charity Trudge (the map resembles Strong Sad's head)
***The King of Town— Caramel Canyon Walk-Take (the map resembles a [[ham]])
***Homestar Runner— Crumble Star Sprintup (the map resembles a star)
*Your three opponents behave like this: two of them run at a constant speed all the way to the finish line, the third changes every 3 seconds (on average - it can be anywhere from 0 to 6) to be slightly faster than you (how much faster depends on what level you're playing). When you collect a power-down item, the third opponent will always match speeds a second and a half later.
*Kid Speedy, Strong Sad, and The King of Town can achieve third or even second place, but cannot achieve first place. For Homestar Runner however, first place is possible.
*The game is also uploaded on the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] website, but never linked to. It can be found [http://www.homestarrunner.com/kidspeedy.html here]

===Remarks===
*When you beat Strong Sad Mode, he is seen jumping up and down. In [[Strong Sad's Lament]], he revealed that he was unable to jump.
*If you play the game with the Flash file, you can automatically beat every level by right-clicking on the game and selecting ''Play'' after the race starts. You'll hear the falling down sound effect and see the congratulations screen for a few seconds, then it will show the typical qualified screen.
**Also when playing the Flash file directly, the runners that speed to the finish in the last race can be seen behind a thick black bar on the left.

===Differences between the characters===
====Strong Sad====
*There's a chance one of your opponents will be Kid Speedy.
*Speed-up items work 50% better than they do for Kid Speedy.
*Strong Sad slows down twice as fast as Kid Speedy.
*When you collect a speed-down item, the third opponent (see [[#Trivia|trivia]]) will match speeds with you, plus a large amount (more than they usually beat you by), right before you slow down (so if you're going full speed when you hit one, they'll race ahead of you for that 1.5 seconds).

====The King of Town====
*There's a chance of one or two of your opponents being Kid Speedy or Strong Sad.
*The "good" and "bad" collectibles are reversed - junk food and swears speed you up and good food slows you down.
*He trips and falls on the qualification movie, causing the victory music to abruptly change.

====Homestar Runner====
*Your opponents will always be Kid Speedy, Strong Sad, and The King of Town.
*Homestar's maximum running speed is 25% higher than the others'.
*Speed-up items work twice as well as they do for Kid Speedy.

===Glitches===
*In Flash Player 6, Kid Speedy's slowest opponent is absent. While getting second place is extremely difficult, it's impossible to lose since he can rank no lower than third.
*When the game first came out, the player had to cross the center of the finish line to finish the level, while the computer players needed only touch the edge of the line. Thus it was possible to finish barely ahead of the last runner, but still lose the level. This has since been fixed.
*If you qualify for a level, but play it again and lose, you will have to beat it again to win the game.
* No matter which race you choose in version 1.new, it will always show the image of your character's eighth race when you qualify.
**This was later fixed for the [[Viidelectrix]] version. However, qualifying for the eighth race will now always show the map of Demon's Rub Marathon, regardless of which character you are.

===Inside References===
*One of the tracks is the "EGG MOUNTAIN MiNiTHON", making this another instance of [[Lowercase i's]] and [[eggs]].
*Homestar Runner's ending includes a reference to [[hybrid cars]].

===Real-World References===
*The "Indiana" and "The Loop" levels are likely inspired by the the arcade racing game, [[Wikipedia:Cruis'n USA|Cruis'n USA]], which features [[Wikipedia:Chicago|Chicago]] and [[Wikipedia:Indiana|Indiana]] venues.
*"Wide Loading" (on the [[Irregular Loading Screens|loading screen]]) is a reference to the "Wide Load" sign which appears on trucks carrying large items. It is also used as a slang term for "fat".
*In the Flash file of Kid Speedy, there are three other runners to the left of the screen and they seem to be wearing colors of flags. The top runner wears the flag of [[Wikipedia:Germany|Germany]] and the middle runner wears the flag of [[Wikipedia:Sweden|Sweden]]. The lowest runner wears the flag of [[Wikipedia:Kenya|Kenya]] (black, red, and green stripes, separated by white). These runners are later seen racing ahead to the finish line in the 8th race, as well as in the ending.
*At the ending podium, the three "winning" runners each have an animation similar to the animations made by the characters at the end of [[wikipedia:Super Mario Kart|Super Mario Kart]]. Notably, the "first place" winner's ending looks like he is clanging champagne bottles, similar to Koopa Troopa's victory animation in Mario Kart.
*When Kid Speedy trips on the finish line, he does so in the same manner and sound as does the character in [[wikipedia:NES|NES's]] Track & Field I.
*Kid Speedy's ending sequence is a reference to the common movie theme of competing in a race or other competition to win money to either save an orphanage or pay for an operation.
*Homestar's ending segment which shows him and Marzipan driving towards the sunset is an homage to the [[wikipedia:Sega|Sega]] racing title [[wikipedia:OutRun|OutRun]]. Its drawing style also resembles the arcade game [[wikipedia:Pole Position|Pole Position]].
*The insult power-downs may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Duke Nukem (computer game)|Duke Nukem]], where swear words are a powerup instead.
*Mills Bills were part of a [[wikipedia:General_Mills|General Mills]] cereal promotion in which cereal box tops could be collected and redeemed for money for a local school.

===Possible Names in Online Mode===
*There are several possible names that you can get as opponents in Online Mode. Each three-letter name includes a number following their name, while four-letter names do not.
**BAM
**BOB
**BSI
**[[DAN]]
**DING
**FMV
**FOOP
**GOB
**JAM
**JIM
**[[Nebulon|NEB]]
**[[Wikipedia: Pogs|POG]]
**QUA
**RIT
**SOT
**STAN
**TOD
*The following names were added in version 1.new.
**[[Wikipedia:Eight ball|8BAL]]
**FRUM
**[[Wikipedia:Gobi Desert|GOBI]]
**GUMB
**JILL
**KOT8 (The King of Town, only available if playing as Homestar Runner)
**KSPE (Kid Speedy, only available if not playing as him)
**[[LEM]]
**PIGG
**SSAD (Strong Sad, only available if playing as The King of Town or Homestar Runner)

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Gary... I hope this email's from Gary... ''{The email comes up}'' Hah! Aw...

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: slumber parties</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
I attended a slumber party and there was nothing but a 
lame game of Uno. I ask you, what types of slumber 
parties should one attend or ignore? 
Sincerely, 
Thomas O. from NY
</blockquote>
''{Strong Bad reads NY as en-why}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So it was just you and Uno? Like, no other people or sleeping bags or R-rated movies? Uh, you probably shoulda skipped that one. Family card games are notorious for hosting the worst slumber parties.

''{Cut to Strong Bad sitting at a table with his eyes half closed. There is a deck of cards sitting across from him on the table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{flatly}'' Thanks for inviting me, Skip-Bo.

''{Cut back to the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{clears screen}'' But let's say you get invited to a slumber party by a carbon based lifeform. The first thing you wanna look at is the popularity of the host.

''{Cut to a blackboard with "COOLGUY's LAW:" and a face wearing a mortar board drawn on it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' According to Coolguy's Law, the popularity of the host is inversely proportional to the amount of fun you can have at their house.

''{As he speaks, the formula appears on the blackboard. Cut back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You got nothing to lose! You can tear that place apart and dislocate all the younger siblings' shoulders you want. It's not like you're ever going back there again.

''{Cut to Homestar Runner's bedroom. Homestar and Strong Bad are there, and there are sledgehammers embedded in the walls. Strong Bad is holding a sledgehammer.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What did you say the name of this family card game was again, Strong Bad?

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is called Find The Load-Bearer. You never played this before?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No. Find The Load-Bearer, Bed Axe, ''{Cut to Homestar's bed, which has two axes embedded in it}'' I never heard of any of these games we played.

''{Strong Bad throws another axe into the bed. Cut back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Unpopular kids' dads definitely still play video games, so try and locate—

''{Cut to Strong Bad reaching into Homestar's dresser and pulling out some games}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —his stash of Rated M for Mature titles.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Jackpot! ''{Holds up a game with a skull in a bloodstain on the cover}'' Blood Bleeder, ''{Holds up a game with the disembodied heads of two men and a dog on the cover}'' Head Chopper 2, ''{Holds up a game with a laser shooting at some disembodied scabs on the cover}'' Scab Wars, ''{Holds up a game with a blistered hand and a ghost holding a chainsaw on the cover}'' Blistergeist? Most of these things have been taken off the market!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. Those are off-limits. We're only allowed to play Clapping Party.

''{Homestar plays Clapping Party, which consists of two hands against a blue background. They clap three times, and the words "ROUND CLEAR" appear against a red background with confetti. Several hands rapidly appear at the bottom of the screen. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The next thing to consider when going to a slumber party is the menu.

''{Cut to a blue screen with the words "TYPICAL SLUMBER PARTY FARE" at the top and a boy's head at the bottom. As Strong Bad talks, the things he describes appear, and the boy gets fatter}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Typical slumber party fare includes things like, six-foot party sub, an exorbitant amount of pizza, and at least enough Skittles and red cream soda to make your spit hurt.

''{The boy sticks out his tongue, which is bumpy and rainbow colored. A rainbow drool-drop forms. Cut to a table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But if you get over there, ''{Strong Bad falls from the sky}'' and they're, like, having a meal at a table, and they're serving, like...

''{A chicken leg in a pan moves towards Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{uncertain voice}'' Chicken... in a pan? ''{A plate moves towards Strong Bad and salad appears on it}'' With some... salad... ''{A glass of milk pours from the top of the screen}'' and a... glass of milk? To drink?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You better start running! ''{Strong Bad runs}'' Because that family must have some serious health problems.

''{Cut back to the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But if you're looking for a guaranteed good time, you need to get invited to an OLDER KID'S slumber party. Anything goes at those things!

''{Cut to Coach Z's locker room. Pan from Bubs to Coach Z to the King of Town}''

'''BUBS:''' My cousin Louis, he's dead. My cousin Harold, he's dead.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{Overlapping}'' And my back still hurts. And my knees still hurt. And my head still hurts.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{Overlapping}'' Government ain't right! Government ain't right!

''{Cut back to Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' So my escrow carried over into my lumbago, but then my sciatica started acting up.

''{Cut to a wider shot. Strong Bad, with his eyes half closed, is on the left with a sleeping bag on the ground}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, can you guys start using some words that were invented ''after'' the year nineteen-oh-zero?

''{Cut to the King of Town}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Come now, young whipper-snapper. My fellows and I were just about to start playing at games of chance. ''{Holds up some dice and shakes them}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad, with his eyes completely open}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lemme guess. That ''doesn't'' include Bed Axe. ''{Holds up an axe}''

''{Cut back to the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Uh, you might wanna put a cap on what you define as "older kids." Other than that, you can always look forward to endlessly ridiculing the kid that got picked up early 'cause he misses his mom. Strong Sad used to do that when we'd have slumber parties in our own basement!

''{Cut to a wide shot. Strong Sad is standing nearby with his arm in a sling}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' That only happened once!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{nodding}'' Uh-huh...

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{reluctantly}'' A week...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Keep going.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{very reluctantly}'' For ten years...

'''STRONG BAD:''' There you go!

''{He turns back to the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, and one more thing: If your jim-jams happen to be a, oh, I dunno, long V-neck undershirt with a pair of questionable tighty-whities underneath, maybe don't wear those to the slumber party. Don't ask me how I know this. Please, PLEASE, ''{hangs head}'' DON'T ASK ME HOW I KNOW THIS.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen, mocking voice}'' How do you know that?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that's it! Allow me to relieve you of that located shoulder! Yah!

''{Strong Bad jumps off his chair and offscreen. Strong Sad yells. [[New Paper]] comes down.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on "questionable" at the end to play [[Clapping Party]]. If you play the game twice, it unlocks "Blistergeist" mode, which involves a ghost in a hockey mask attacking the hands with a chainsaw, causing blisters to appear on them.
*Click on "slumber party" at the end to watch Homestar's Slumber Party dance.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Party! Slumber party! Listen to some Sade at my slumber party!

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*According to Coolguy's law, the more popular the host of the slumber party, the less fun you will have at their house.
*"Rated M for Mature" refers to the [[Wikipedia:ESRB|ESRB]] rating system, which uses letters to indicate what age group a video game is best suited for. M is the second highest rating, and is recommended for players seventeen and older.

===Trivia===
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#heart of china|heart of china]]".

===Remarks===
*The formula for Coolguy's Law does not match the theorem, in that it is a statement of equality, not proportionality. For the popularity of the host to be inversely proportional to the amount of fun you can have at their house, the right-hand side of the equation should be multiplied by some unspecified constant "k".
*When Strong Bad says, "find the [[wikipedia:Structural load|load bearer]]," he is referring to a [[wikipedia:Wall stud|stud]], although in a typical wood-framed house, most vertical studs bear an equal load.
*The pixels in the hands during Clapping Party are tilted.
*In Clapping Party, you can only clap once every few seconds.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Disconnected.png|100px|thumb|[[Disconnected]] II!!! This Time It's Homestar's Legs!!]]
*When Homestar is dancing in the Easter egg, his legs are occasionally disconnected.
*When Strong Bad says Gary a second time, his reflection moves more than his head when he says the "G" in gary.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad, the inventor of "Coolguy's law," is referred to as Prof. Tor Coolguy in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]].
*The pizza boxes are from [[The Pizz]] introduced in [[pizza joint]], only now labeled "Slumber Party [[Style]]" instead of "Neighborhood Style".
**[[:Image:headlessdance.gif|Homestar's dance]] from his Easter egg is also based on an Easter egg seen in pizza joint.
*When Strong Bad is looking in the closet for M-rated games, we can see some [[Sega tapes]], reading "Throat Rip" and "Saliva Quest".
*Some of the games have [[blood]].
*This email mentions [[underwear]].
*Blistergeist is a [[portmanteau]] of "blister" and "[[Wikipedia:Poltergeist|poltergeist]]".
*R-rated movies were previously mentioned in conjunction with a sleepover in [[the bet]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Uno (game)|Uno]] and [[Wikipedia:SKIP-BO|SKIP-BO]] are card games owned by [[Wikipedia:Mattel|Mattel]].
*[[Wikipedia:Skittles (confectionery)|Skittles]] are a small, fruit-flavored candy produced by [[Wikipedia:Mars, Inc.|Mars, Inc.]]
** A recent Skittles ad was "Taste The Rainbow," duly noted here by the rainbow tongue on the fat kid.
*The T-shirt Homestar is wearing during the Easter egg is identical to the one Michael Jackson wears in the "Beat It" video. This shirt was also seen in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].
*Blistergeist is a parody of [[Wikipedia:Splatterhouse|Splatterhouse]], the most notable reference being the goalie mask.
*Blood Bleeder is a parody of [[Wikipedia:Blood (computer game)|Blood]]. The game boxes also look similar.
*The tune Homestar sings during the Easter egg is the jingle from the TV advertisement for the 1987 Parker Brothers' board game "Pizza Party," which he also sings during an identical Easter egg in the previous email, [[pizza joint]].
*[[Wikipedia:Sade (band)|Sade]] is a British [[Wikipedia:rhythm and blues|R&B]]/[[Wikipedia:Soul music|soul]] band; the name is also used by their [[Wikipedia:Sade Adu|lead singer]] independently.

''{Strong Bad reads NY as en-why}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So it was just you and Uno? Like, no other people or sleeping bags or R-rated movies? Uh, you probably shoulda skipped that one. Family card games are notorious for hosting the worst slumber parties.

''{Cut to Strong Bad sitting at a table with his eyes half closed. There is a deck of cards sitting across from him on the table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{flatly}'' Thanks for inviting me, Skip-Bo.

''{Cut back to the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{clears screen}'' But let's say you get invited to a slumber party by a carbon based lifeform. The first thing you wanna look at is the popularity of the host.

''{Cut to a blackboard with "COOLGUY's LAW:" and a face wearing a mortar board drawn on it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' According to Coolguy's Law, the popularity of the host is inversely proportional to the amount of fun you can have at their house.

''{As he speaks, the formula appears on the blackboard. Cut back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You got nothing to lose! You can tear that place apart and dislocate all the younger siblings' shoulders you want. It's not like you're ever going back there again.

''{Cut to Homestar Runner's bedroom. Homestar and Strong Bad are there, and there are sledgehammers embedded in the walls. Strong Bad is holding a sledgehammer.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What did you say the name of this family card game was again, Strong Bad?

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is called Find The Load-Bearer. You never played this before?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No. Find The Load-Bearer, Bed Axe, ''{Cut to Homestar's bed, which has two axes embedded in it}'' I never heard of any of these games we played.

''{Strong Bad throws another axe into the bed. Cut back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Unpopular kids' dads definitely still play video games, so try and locate—

''{Cut to Strong Bad reaching into Homestar's dresser and pulling out some games}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —his stash of Rated M for Mature titles.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Jackpot! ''{Holds up a game with a skull in a bloodstain on the cover}'' Blood Bleeder, ''{Holds up a game with the disembodied heads of two men and a dog on the cover}'' Head Chopper 2, ''{Holds up a game with a laser shooting at some disembodied scabs on the cover}'' Scab Wars, ''{Holds up a game with a blistered hand and a ghost holding a chainsaw on the cover}'' Blistergeist? Most of these things have been taken off the market!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. Those are off-limits. We're only allowed to play Clapping Party.

''{Homestar plays Clapping Party, which consists of two hands against a blue background. They clap three times, and the words "ROUND CLEAR" appear against a red background with confetti. Several hands rapidly appear at the bottom of the screen. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The next thing to consider when going to a slumber party is the menu.

''{Cut to a blue screen with the words "TYPICAL SLUMBER PARTY FARE" at the top and a boy's head at the bottom. As Strong Bad talks, the things he describes appear, and the boy gets fatter}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So it was just you and Uno? Like, no other people or sleeping bags or R-rated movies? Uh, you probably shoulda skipped that one. Family card games are notorious for hosting the worst slumber parties.

''{Cut to Strong Bad sitting at a table with his eyes half closed. There is a deck of cards sitting across from him on the table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{flatly}'' Thanks for inviting me, Skip-Bo.

''{Cut back to the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{clears screen}'' But let's say you get invited to a slumber party by a carbon based lifeform. The first thing you wanna look at is the popularity of the host.

''{Cut to a blackboard with "COOLGUY's LAW:" and a face wearing a mortar board drawn on it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' According to Coolguy's Law, the popularity of the host is inversely proportional to the amount of fun you can have at their house.

''{As he speaks, the formula appears on the blackboard. Cut back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You got nothing to lose! You can tear that place apart and dislocate all the younger siblings' shoulders you want. It's not like you're ever going back there again.

''{Cut to Homestar Runner's bedroom. Homestar and Strong Bad are there, and there are sledgehammers embedded in the walls. Strong Bad is holding a sledgehammer.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What did you say the name of this family card game was again, Strong Bad?

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is called Find The Load-Bearer. You never played this before?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No. Find The Load-Bearer, Bed Axe, ''{Cut to Homestar's bed, which has two axes embedded in it}'' I never heard of any of these games we played.

''{Strong Bad throws another axe into the bed. Cut back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Unpopular kids' dads definitely still play video games, so try and locate—

''{Cut to Strong Bad reaching into Homestar's dresser and pulling out some games}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —his stash of Rated M for Mature titles.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Jackpot! ''{Holds up a game with a skull in a bloodstain on the cover}'' Blood Bleeder, ''{Holds up a game with the disembodied heads of two men and a dog on the cover}'' Head Chopper 2, ''{Holds up a game with a laser shooting at some disembodied scabs on the cover}'' Scab Wars, ''{Holds up a game with a blistered hand and a ghost holding a chainsaw on the cover}'' Blistergeist? Most of these things have been taken off the market!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. Those are off-limits. We're only allowed to play Clapping Party.

''{Homestar plays Clapping Party, which consists of two hands against a blue background. They clap three times, and the words "ROUND CLEAR" appear against a red background with confetti. Several hands rapidly appear at the bottom of the screen. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The next thing to consider when going to a slumber party is the menu.

''{Cut to a blue screen with the words "TYPICAL SLUMBER PARTY FARE" at the top and a boy's head at the bottom. As Strong Bad talks, the things he describes appear, and the boy gets fatter}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Typical party food includes things like, six-foot party sub, an exorbitant amount of pizza, and at least enough Skittles and red cream soda to make your spit hurt.

''{The boy sticks out his tongue, which is bumpy and rainbow colored. A rainbow drool-drop forms. Cut to a table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But if you get over there, ''{Strong Bad falls from the sky}'' and they're, like, having a meal at a table, and they're serving, like...

''{A chicken leg in a pan moves towards Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{uncertain voice}'' Chicken... in a pan? ''{A plate moves towards Strong Bad and salad appears on it}'' With some... salad... ''{A glass of milk pours from the top of the screen}'' and a... glass of milk? To drink?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You better start running! ''{Strong Bad runs}'' Because that family must have some serious health problems.

''{Cut back to the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But if you're looking for a guaranteed good time, you need to get invited to an OLDER KID'S slumber party. Anything goes at those things!

''{Cut to Coach Z's locker room. Pan from Bubs to Coach Z to the King of Town}''

'''BUBS:''' My cousin Louis, he's dead. My cousin Harold, he's dead.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{Overlapping}'' And my back still hurts. And my knees still hurt.

'''KING OF TOWN:''' ''{Overlapping}'' Government ain't right! Government ain't right!

'''BUBS:''' So my escrow carried over into my lumbago, but then my sciatica started acting up.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, can you guys start using words that were invented ''after'' the year nineteen-oh-zero?

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Come now, young whipper-snapper. My fellows and I were just about to start playing at games of chance. ''{Holds up some dice and shakes them}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lemme guess. That ''doesn't'' include Bed Axe. ''{Holds up an axe}''

''{Cut back to the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Uh, you might wanna put a cap on what you define as "older kids." Other than that, you can look always forward to endlessly ridiculing the kid that got picked up early 'cause he misses his mom. Strong Sad used to do that when we'd have slumber parties in our own basement!

''{Cut to a wide shot. Strong Sad is standing nearby with his arm in a sling}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' That only happened once!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{nodding}'' Uh-huh...

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{reluctantly}'' A week...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Keep going.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{very reluctantly}'' For ten years...

'''STRONG BAD:''' There you go!

''{He turns back to the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, and one more thing: If your jim-jams happen to be a, oh, I dunno, long V-neck undershirt with a pair of questionable tighty-whities underneath, maybe don't wear those to the slumber party. Don't ask me how I know this. Please, PLEASE, ''{hangs head}'' DON'T ASK ME HOW I KNOW THIS.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen, mocking voice}'' How do you know that?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that's it! Allow me to relieve you of that located shoulder! Yah!

''{Strong Bad jumps off his chair and offscreen. Strong Sad yells. [[New Paper]] comes down.}''

''{The computer room is empty. After a second, Strong Bad walks on-screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' And I pretend that it's made of money-

''{stops singing, notices camera}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{addressing viewer}'' Er... Oh! Um... Look, uh, I'm not doin' one this week. Yeah... not doin' one. So... bye.

''{Strong Bad walks out of the room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing again}'' And I pretend that it's made of money...

''{The Cheat enters and looks at the computer, then looks around. He then grins at the camera...}''

=== Powered by The Cheat ===
''{A new Flash cartoon begins. The cartoon is Powered By The Cheat, as evidenced by the more primitive graphic quality and the substandard, imitated voices.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Eeeeeeeeeemail. Ooh, ah, email, ooh, ah—

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
Can you run a mile. 
 
-Seb 
The Lodge, MN</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You'd better believe it, Seb, I can ride I can do cartwheels for a mile. ''{stops typing}'' Ready and one and set and go!

''{Strong Bad cartwheels away from his desk. Cut to a shot of him cartwheeling through the TV room from left to right.}''

'''TV ANNOUNCER:''' TV show featuring The Cheat in a Trans Am.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Here I go.

''{The scene cuts to a lot with a bunch of buses that say Sköl}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Here I go again on my own.

''{Strong Bad uses a ramp to jump over the buses. Bubs appears from behind a fence. He appears to have no lower body}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey, Strong Bad, you jumped over some of my buses! 

''{"A new record!! 19 buses!!" appears in the air and imitation crowd noises can be heard. Cut to Marzipan standing in the field}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Keep it up, Strong Bad. Keep up the pace!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks for cheering me on.

''{Scene cuts to a brick wall, standing in the middle of a field}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Halfway to go, I have to break through this brick wall!

''{Strong Bad continues forward anyway, the wall not causing him any resistance. The bricks explode upon impact, then fall down and spell "HI". Cut to Homestar in the field holding a sign that says "I ''♥'' cooties"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Kick it out, b-hand.

''{Strong Bad stretches out his leg and trips Homestar. Cut to Strong Bad finishing his mile on an athletic track, with flashbulbs everywhere. It then cuts to Homestar, Marzipan, and Coach Z waiting for Strong Bad at the finish line. Coach Z's usually green suit is instead pink}''

'''COACH Z:''' Mr. Strong Bad, you won the mile. How did- what's your secret?

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat.

''{The Cheat parachutes in from the top of the frame, wearing a light blue tuxedo and sunglasses and holding a glass of champagne. Money is stuffed into his tuxedo pocket. He lands on the ground and raises up his glass. A thought bubble appears above Marzipan's head that reads "i ''♥'' that cheat."}''

'''EVERYBODY:''' The Cheat is a millionaire! A parade for The Cheat!

''{A parade goes by, featuring a The Cheat float that says "Dunkin' the Ch8t", a The Cheat hot air balloon, fireworks, ending with The Poopsmith pushing a broom, then the scene cuts back to Strong Bad's computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD''' ''{typing}'': So yes, Jimmy-Jimmy, there have been parades honoring The Cheat, but don't let that from stopping you from organizing your own. He can be the Grand... Marshall. He's also available for proms and pizza parties.

''{Strong Bad actually types: So yes, Jimmy-Jimmy, there have been p's h-ing the C. B. d. l. t. f. s. y. f. o. y. o. He can be the Grand Marshall. He's a-so available for proms and pizza parties.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, okay folks, I gotta go to my next show. See you later nice time!

''{At the end, a Powered-by-The-Cheat version of [[The Paper]] comes down with a sound effect that just sounds like some guy going "'''K'''errrriorrrr..."}''

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:Knight to remember.PNG|thumb|150px|"A Knight to Remember"]]
*Within The Cheat's cartoon, when Strong Bad first starts cartwheeling, click on the floppy disk to see that it says "[[Floppy Disk Container#out of this world|out of this world]]". After Strong Bad gets back, click on it again to show "[[Floppy Disk Container#NITEMARE 3-D|NITEMARE 3-D]]".
*At the end of the email, click "proms" to see a Polaroid of The Cheat with a silhouette labeled "Your bod here" and a note scrawled at the bottom: "A Knight to Remember, June 3rd 2004."
*Also at the end, click "[[pizza]] parties" to see a logo for "Cheatsa Parties", featuring The Cheat taking a bite out of a large pizza.
*Press 'O' on your keyboard at the end to see a silhouette of Strong Bad doing cartwheels over a bunch of hills with music playing in the background, which is actually a takeoff of [[Old Intro 2]].
*If the viewer uses a decompiler or install a [http://www.squarefree.com/2004/07/19/flash-seek-bar-bookmarklet Flash Seek Bookmarklet], some [[:Image:headlessdance.gif|broken animation]] of a headless dancing Homestar at the end after the cartwheeling Easter egg can be accessed. This could possibly be an unfinished Easter Egg.
**This animation was finally used in Easter Eggs in the emails [[pizza joint]] and [[slumber party]].

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*Strong Bad cartwheeling the mile (as opposed to running it like "Seb" had originally asked) was probably done so that The Cheat would not have to animate anything; instead, he could just rotate Strong Bad's standing frame a few dozen times. Nevertheless, in a couple of the frames, Strong Bad's legs are in noticably different positions.

===Trivia===
*When The Cheat shows up after Strong Bad wins the mile, Marzipan has a thought bubble reading "I ♥ ''that'' Cheat". This is one of the few times that The Cheat is not referred to with a "[[Integral Article|The]]" preceding his name. This instance is particularly interesting because The Cheat himself made this cartoon.
*Strong Bad cartwheels 65 times, 55 without the Easter egg.
*According to the DVD commentary and the [[FAQ]], the email answered here was not received from a fan, but was invented by [[The Brothers Chaps]]. Except for this one, the first 100 emails answered by Strong Bad came from real fans.
*This cartoon can be found either on the [[Strong Bad Email]] menu or the [[Powered by The Cheat]] menu.
*The sound effect played when Strong Bad cartwheels through the tape at the finish line is from The Cheat's cartoon in [[crazy cartoon]], when Strong Bad kicked Homestar in the face nine times.
*A high school band, in addition to performing the [[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU]] Fight Song as a [[Quote of the Week#QW-2006-02-09|Quote of the Week]] on February 9, 2006, reference this email in the opening ("''Ready and one and set and go!''") and closing ("''Well, there you have it Jimmy Jimmy''") remarks.
*This was the last email ever added to the [[Podstar Runner]] series of podcasts. The summary read, "The Cheat animates his own dang Strong Bad Email. In other news, The Cheat is a millionaire."

===Remarks===
*In the PBTC version:
**When Coach Z says "what's your secret?" his head pops off a little bit.
**When you click on the [[Floppy Disk Container|floppy]] when Strong Bad is finishing the cartwheel, it says "Nitemare 3-D" and it's ''behind'' Strong Bad and the computer.
**Before Strong Bad starts to do cartwheels for a mile, the text typed in his computer stays in position for a couple of frames or so.
**There is no patch on the couch.
**When Strong Bad leaves his desk and starts cartwheeling, his head passes behind the floppy disk on the desk, even though the object is in the background.
**Strong Bad's computer says 'Compa' as opposed to '[[Compy 386]]'.
**Strong Bad's computer doesn't have a keyboard.
**When Bubs is talking, he has no noticable legs.
*The way "cheat" is spelled on the "Dunkin' the Ch8t" float is an example of [[Internet Slang|Leetspeak]] and would actually be pronounced 'chate'.
*When you access the broken headless Homestar dancing animation, part of his right leg is disconnected while dancing.

===Real-World References===
*"Seb" may be a reference to the British athlete [[Wikipedia:Sebastian Coe|Sebastian "Seb" Coe]], a mid-distance runner who once held the world record in the mile.
*The parade followed by The Poopsmith sweeping up after it is a reference to a segment of ''[[Wikipedia:The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show|The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show]]'' called ''Peabody's Improbable History'', where there were parades honoring [[Wikipedia:Mr. Peabody|Peabody]] with only one janitor cleaning up after it.
*Strong Bad says "Here I go again on my own" before going on the ramp over Bubs's 19 buses. This is the first line of the chorus of "Here I Go Again", an '80s standard by [[Wikipedia:Whitesnake|Whitesnake]].
*The rhythmic part of the "song" being played during the parade is from ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' for the [[Nintendo|NES]], played during the airship, tank, and watership levels. The fireworks at the end of the parade are very similar in sound to the cannons and exploding [[Wikipedia:Bob-omb|Bob-ombs]] that densely populate these levels.
*The line "TV show featuring The Cheat in a [[Wikipedia:Pontiac Trans Am|Trans Am]]" almost certainly refers to the TV series ''[[Wikipedia:Knight Rider|Knight Rider]]''.
*When The Cheat parachutes in after Strong Bad has won the mile, he is wearing a [[Wikipedia:Gucci|Gucci]] parachute.

===Fast Forward===
*Bubs's line, "Some of my buses", is used again on [[Main Page 22]].
*"Cheatsa Parties" are used again in [[pizza joint]].

== DVD Version ==
*For whatever reason, there is no option to use the angle button, and therefore the Floppy Disk Easter eggs have been disabled. This is one of the only emails on the set that does not have the angle option available.
*The hills Easter egg is now accessible like a normal Easter egg.
The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
===Commentary Transcript===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''MATT:''' I like that song, I'd like to hear that whole song.

'''MIKE:''' I wonder what he's pretending is made of money.

'''MATT:''' I know, maybe that's just the chorus, and goes through a bunch of different things.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, like, uh—

'''MATT:''' ''{singing}'' can of beans. Pretend that it's made of money! Unh! A guitar! Unh! Unh! And I pretend that it's made of money!

'''MIKE:''' That's...a good song.

'''MATT:''' That's clearly not how he's singing it, but maybe...

'''MIKE:''' Look, One-On-One. The original One-on-One was, of course, uh, Dr. J and Larry Bird. Good game!

'''MATT:''' Great game! So here's The Cheat, his big de-butt. Well, I guess in [[crazy cartoon]], he does it.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, or something. The Compa!

'''MATT:''' This is one of the only made-up Strong Bad emails, right?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, we made that up. The only one.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. We figured that The Cheat's doing it, so he's not gonna care about that sort of stuff.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' The vocal work on this, uh, particular episode is fantastic.

'''MATT:''' Oh, really, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' You did a great job on this one, Matt!

'''MATT:''' Oh. I didn't do this one—

'''MIKE:''' Oh, wait, ''I'' did the voices. Okay, listen to my Bubs impression, which is pretty much my Fat Albert impression. ''{Imitating Powered by The Cheat Bubs}'' Hey, Hey, Rudy!

'''MATT:''' That's a good one. That Marzipan is... horrifying. I like her teeth. ''{Mike laughs}'' I remember... um...

'''MIKE:''' What's that, Matt?

'''MATT:''' Dan from Carmel, Indiana really loved that one, I remember. I remember in band, we talked to him a lot.

'''MIKE:''' Oh.

'''MATT:''' Uh, B-Hand was a guy that ran with our older brother, Donnie, at track. I remember my Mom always yelling, "Kick it out, B-Hand!"

'''MIKE:''' I like the, uh, the Gucci parachute.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it's amazing. And he's just got some loose cash.

''{Mike and Matt laugh}''

'''MIKE:''' Dunkin' The Cheat!

'''MATT:''' DunkinTheCh8t is somebody's screename on one of the Homestar Runner forums I saw

'''MIKE:''' Oh, really? This is my favorite part right here. Here it comes... here comes The Poopsmith, cleanin' up! Weet! Weet! Weet! Just like that little guy at the end of Rocky and Bullwinkle. Or that guy in between the commercials of the Carol Burnett Shows. Or the bloopers and outtakes.

''{Mike and Matt start singing a song}''

'''MATT:''' I like that.

'''MIKE:''' He just start using punctuations

'''MATT:''' Abbreviations.

'''MIKE:''' Abbreviations. "Also" is the best because that's actually longer than if he just used an "l".

'''MATT:''' Yeah. That's a reference to

'''MIKE:''' Andy Cooper

'''MATT:''' Guitar lessons with Andy Cooper.

'''MIKE:''' Tap that?

'''MATT:''' Looks good.

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

'''MATT:''' Tapping on the G-Chord, B-Minor.

===Fun Facts===
*Fat Albert, played by comedian [[Wikipedia:Bill Cosby|Bill Cosby]], was the main character of the cartoon series [[Wikipedia:Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids|Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids]].
*[[Wikipedia:The Carol Burnett Show|The Carol Burnett Show]] was a sketch comedy series in the 1970's; the opening and closing credits of the show featured an animated charicature of [[Wikipedia:Carol Burnett|Carol Burnett]], dressed as a cleaning woman and mopping a backstage area.
*"Or the bloopers and outtakes" is a reference to NBC's [[Wikipedia:TV Bloopers & Practical Jokes|TV Bloopers and Practical Jokes]], hosted by Dick Clark and intermittently co-hosted by Ed McMahon. The opening and closing sequence of the show, as well as many of the [[Wikipedia:Commercial Bumpers|bumpers]], featured an animated janitor, drawn by [[Wikipedia:Sergio Aragones|Sergio Aragones]], performing a variety of tasks comedically.

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a singsong voice}'' Sweetheart, get dressed and brush your teeth! It's time for email!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: comics</div>
Dear Strongbad, 
I would like to Draw a few comics about you and the cheat. 
But 1st i'd need to know what type of promblems you and 
the cheat would be faced with. Once i get a rough copy i'd 
send it to you to see how you like it. I hope you interested. 
-Malinko-
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "promblems" and "I hope you interested" as written.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Malinko, I hope ''you'' interested in getting sued into the middle ages by The Cheat and me. Cause that's what would happen if you drew a few comics about us. ''{clears screen}'' Just like that time Homestar started selling Strong Bad flavored water. ''{pronounces "flavored water" queasily, types in wavy blue-green font}'' We shut that mess down on the quickfast.

''{Cut to Homestar Runner in The Field with a stack of bottles labeled "SB2O". Homestar is holding a bottle.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I got your Strong Bad water right here! S-B-two-oh. Bottled at the source. Pure as a mountain goat.

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat approach; The Cheat is wearing a suit and tie and dragging a briefcase.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, The Cheat, let's sue him!

''{The Cheat opens the briefcase, which is filled with colored water balloons. Strong Bad and The Cheat start pelting Homestar with the balloons.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hooray! The orders are violently flying in!

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Man, I've got the best lawyer soft tacos can buy. And his aim with those waterbombs is crazy good! He can hit Strong Sad from like three football fields away.

''{Cut to Strong Sad taking notes on a notepad at the athletic field, which has the Jolly Dumple painted in an end zone and a sign next to the sideline reading "FIELD 3".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{taking notes}'' Note to self: ''{flips page}'' get—big—ger— ''{flips page}'' note—boo— ''{flips page}'' —k.

''{Water balloons come flying from behind the trees in the distance, hitting Strong Sad and knocking him on his face.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Mercy me!

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I think we were suing him for custody of his not-so-thin mints that day.

''{Zoom out to reveal The Cheat standing next to Strong Bad, holding up a manila envelope.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahoy! An unmarked manila envelope. Must be that weaselly Malinko's comic.

''{The Cheat snaps the envelope open. Strong Bad pulls a white piece of paper out of the envelope and looks at it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh my!

''{Close-up of the paper, which has two scribbles labeled "Strong Bad" and "the Cheat", a few stains, and the signature "-m"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Rough copy is right! ''{turns the paper from side to side}'' Uh, you don't need my help finding promblems for these guys, Malinko.

''{Close-up of The Cheat}''

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

''{Close-up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' These don't look anything like us! Man, that kid was going to have so few pants on after we got done suing them off him. And now he's gonna strut around all on-panted waving his pant-covered legs in our faces. ''{he waves his leg}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{throws paper up in the air}'' You're a genius, The Cheat! Now ''that's'' what I pay you for. Open up. ''{holds up a taco and The Cheat opens his mouth wide}'' Up. Ah! Ah! Ah! ''{throws the taco in The Cheat's mouth, who gulps it down}'' There you go.

''{The Cheat opens his mouth again and claps his paws together making The Cheat noises, imitating a seal.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, okay. One more. ''{throws another taco in The Cheat's mouth, who gulps it down}''

''{Cut to silhouettes of Strong Bad and The Cheat as Malinko drew them, walking in front of a cloudy sky.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooch. Eetz. Ouch. Atch.

''{Cut to Strong Bad and The Cheat standing in The Field, now revealed to be wearing barbed wire.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now we look just like Malinko's cat-scratchings. Our case is air-tight. Why stop at pants? We could probably sue that black zip-up hoodie off him now too!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{turns around and makes The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, this stuff ''does'' make me feel pretty tough. Ooh, in fact... we should star in own action-packed credit sequence called, "Rough Copy!".

''{A "ROUGH COPY!" title screen appears with Strong Bad and The Cheat wearing barbed wire and holding revolvers. Big band music plays. Cut to Strong Bad, who runs across a row of 2-D silhouetted buildings. The screen reads, "with STRONG BAD" in the corner. Cut to the Cheat, who fires two rounds from his revolver. The screen reads, "and THE CHEAT" in the corner.}''

''{Two strips of video appear on the screen, one with Strong Bad walking down a sidewalk, and one with the Cheat tossing a taco in his mouth. Cut to a horizontally split screen with Strong Bad pointing his revolver in each one. Cut to Strong Bad and The Cheat riding down a highway in the [[Gremlin]]. Strong Bad is hanging out the passenger-side window with his revolver drawn, and The Cheat is standing on the roof of the car.}''

''{Cut to white silhouettes of Strong Bad and The Cheat holding their guns, with the text "ROUGH COPY!" above them and "Promblem-Packed Action!" below them. The music ends.}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad speaking to Strong Bad and The Cheat at The Field. Strong Bad and The Cheat are still wearing barbed wire, and Strong Sad is wearing reading glasses and carrying a very large "Bigger Noootebook".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, hello, gentlemen. I'm here representing my client, Malinko. ''{zoom in on Strong Sad}'' It would seem you are infringing on his ''highly'' intellectual property. ''{points upward on "highly"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You gotta be joking! There's nothing intellectual abou—

''{Strong Sad begins pelting Strong Bad with snowballs. Strong Bad covers his face.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ow! Eech! Ooh! Agh-where did you get snowballs this time of year!?! ''{Strong Sad continues hitting him with snowballs}'' How did you fit them in that notebook?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{holds a snowball aloft}'' I've been saving these in the freezer since I was eight! ''{throws another snowball at Strong Bad}''

''{The screen dims, and Homestar Runner pops in front, holding a bottle of "Malinko Drinko".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Drinko some Malinko! Crystal clear like domestic beer.

''{Cut back to the Lappy. Strong Bad shakes snow off his head and grumbles.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Can't you see Malinko? All this hot legal action is tearing our non-existent friendship apart! Looks like we'll just have to settle out of court.

''{Strong Bad turns away from the Lappy and starts eating a Zagnut bar.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mmm. That's some good settlement. ''{chews}''

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

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Not-so-thin mints.PNG|thumb|Those mints are not so thin.]]
*When Strong Bad turns away from the computer to respond to The Cheat, click the left side of the screen to see a box of Not So Thin Mints.
*At the end of the email, click the candy bar to see Senor Cardgage talk to Strong Bad.
:'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' ''{leaning in from the right}'' Hey, Grendolyn! Don't bogart that settlement now!
*At the end of the email, click the wall plug to see a clip of Homestar Runner sitting on the couch.
:''{Homestar is sitting on Marzipan's couch looking sad. Windy noises.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{after quite some time, sighs}'' DNA evidence.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[SB2O|SB2O]] is a play on H2O, the molecular formula for water.
*Domestic beer is beer made in one's own country. This is most likely a disparaging comment referring to hugely mass-produced American beers which have a reputation for being [http://nymag.com/restaurants/features/22308/ watery and bland].
*The Cheat's clapping his hands together indicating he wants another taco is the manner in which trained seals clap their flippers together to indicate to their trainer that they want more food.
*To "[[Wiktionary:bogart|bogart]]" means "to hold on to something for longer than one's turn". The phrase is coined after [[Wikipedia:Humphrey Bogart|Humphrey Bogart]].

*A settlement is a legal agreement between two parties not to pursue legal action over a certain matter in exchange for a payment of some kind, usually monetary.

===Trivia===
*The floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#LHX attack chopper|LHX attack chopper]]".
*This is the first time The Cheat's teeth were visible when he fully opened his mouth. The only other 'toon where he fully opened it was [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].
*If you view the Flash file, you can see a little bit of the [[No Loafing sign]] in the scene where Strong Bad is complaining about Malinko's pants.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad and The Cheat seemingly [[Hammerspace|pull the soft tacos out of nowhere]].
*This is the first time Strong Sad has been [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship|physically violent]] toward Strong Bad.
*When Strong Bad and The Cheat first walk across the field, only the barbed wire they are carrying and the parts of them sticking out from above and beneath it are silhouetted against the sky, whereas the rest of their bodies are clearly visible in all the other shots with them holding the wire.
*According to [[record book]], Strong Sad actually can write using [[Inconsistencies within the Homestar Runner universe|extremely small letters]].
*A snowball in the freezer would turn to solid ice within a few days, let alone since Strong Sad was 8.

===Goofs===
*While Strong Bad and The Cheat are waterbombing Homestar, Strong Bad's arm seems to move behind his legs on the opposite side of his body from the briefcase instead of passing over the other side of his body toward the water balloons.
*During the second Lappy scene (just after Strong Bad and The Cheat waterbomb Homestar), the ripple effect from clicking on the Lappy's screen can be seen outside the screen area.
*During the Senor Cardgage Easter egg, Strong Bad's glove moves independently of his arm. Right at the end, the arm snaps into position.
*When Strong Bad leans back in the Senor Cardgage Easter egg, his left cheek doesn't move with his head.
*At the end, the cheek changes sizes before snapping back into place.
**This is a glitch of Flash tweening, as an object that is not a symbol (i.e. Strong Bad's mask design without the head or mouth) sometimes does not get recognized as a movable object, so all that can be done is to scale it bigger or smaller.
*When Homestar turns his flavored water bottle sideways, the water does not actually move, leaving a pocket of air at the top of the bottle when it should be at the side, facing up. However, when he turns the Malinko Drinko, the water is redistributed.

===Inside References===
*This is the sixth Strong Bad Email in a row to mention [[DNA evidence (running gag)|DNA evidence]]. Unlike the previous occurrences, the gag appears in an Easter egg rather than the main cartoon.
*This email makes reference to [[pants]], [[goats]], [[guns]], and [[alcohol]].
*[[The Jolly Dumple]] can be seen on the football field.
*The scene of Strong Bad and The Cheat silhouetted against the sky is similar in appearance to the scene of Strong Bad marching down to Bubs' in [[isp]].
*Strong Bad's reaction to Homestar's "flavored water" is similar to his reaction to Homestar's bread sing alongs in [[origins]]. In each case, he types "flavored water" and "bread sing alongs" in moving green text. 
*The intro is similar to [[Homestar Quiz]], specifically when you get 7 answers correct.
*The Cheat's attorney outfit is from [[sb_email 22]].
*Strong Bad is eating a [[Zagnut bar]], seen previously in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], [[kind of cool]], and [[flashback]]. Senor Cardgage is known to carry [[Aldi Bag|a bag]] full of them.
*When Strong Sad is on the football field, the way he gets hit with the water balloon is similar to the way he gets hit by a football in the Easter egg from [[Senorial Day]].

===Real-World References===
*"Not-so-thin mints" are a reference to Thin Mints, a type of [[Wikipedia:Girl Scout cookie|Girl Scout cookie]].
**The Strong Sad logo on the box resembles the [[Wikipedia:Trefoil|trefoil]] logo of the [[wikipedia:Girl Scouts of the USA|Girl Scouts]].
*The Cheat and Strong Bad's "action-packed credit sequence" is extremely similar to the "pleasantly understated credit sequence" at the beginning of the PC game, ''[[Wikipedia:Sam & Max Hit the Road|Sam & Max Hit the Road]]'', while the black-on-blue color scheme is similar to the two-tone opening credits from the various episodes of ''[[Wikipedia: Sam & Max Season One|Sam & Max: Season One]]''.


===Fast Forward===
*The DNA Easter egg would be revisited in the big toon [[DNA Evidence]].

''{The scene opens with Homestar Runner at Bubs' Concession Stand, finalizing a transaction.}''

'''BUBS:''' ...and 16 cents is your change. ''{drops the change on the counter}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa! Free money!

'''BUBS:''' So, what are you gettin' into tonight, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. ''{rubs his foot on the ground}'' Marzipan and those are gonna try to summon the spirit of her dead ficus plant, but that sounds dumb and boring. So I'll probably just end up trick-or-treatin'.

'''BUBS:''' What about Strong Bad? What's he doin'?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. You can never tell with that guy.

''{Strong Bad approaches the concession stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ok, Bubs. I'll have 90 rolls of toilet paper and 60 dozen eggs. ''{looks around}'' ...And a corn dog.

'''BUBS:''' I got it all packed up for you in the wagon 'round back.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, pally.

''{Strong Bad and Bubs go around back.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''What'' is he ''up'' to?

''{titles:}''

<pre>3 TIMES HALLOWEEN FUNJOB!

talkings by matt and missy

MU-HU-HA-HA</pre>

'''MARZIPAN:''' Now Strong Sad, I need to make contact with Credenza. Homestar watered him with Yoo-Hoo while I was in Miami and he died and now I really miss him.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay. I'll need a photograph of the deceased ''{she gives him one}'' and two box Oreos. ''{Marzipan does a slight double-take.}''

''{cut to Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat in their costumes with their supplies for the evening}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, this is gonna be so great you guys. Everybody's houses and pumpkins and trees won't know what hit 'em. ''{quickly and high-pitched}'' This is gonna be great!

''{The King of Town walks up.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Hey, guys. What's up? What are we doing here? Making omelettes? Going to the bathroom? I'm cool with that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get out of here, old man! We're gonna be pelting people like you and houses like your castle with these eggs.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' C'mon! Let me hang out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' No way! Forget it! C'mon, los dudes. Let's go hit Marzipan's gaze-bo.

''{they all leave and the King of Town chases after them.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I'm dressed to Hamburgle... Robble! Robble!

''{cut to Homestar, Pom Pom, Coach Z, and Bubs standing around in their costumes}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I bet I get... a million pounds of candy this year. A million pounds!

'''BUBS:''' Whatever. I'm goin' for quality over quantity.

'''COACH Z:''' Same here, Bubsy. I'm holdin' out for cookies with gold-plated chocolate chorps!

''{Bubs sighs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' We'll see about that. C'mon, Pom Pom. Let's go find some houses giving away lead candies!

''{Cut to a view of the sky.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Let 'er rip! ''{The Cheat grunts as many rolls of toilet paper are thrown into the air. The camera pans back to show that The Stick is covered, while Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat stand nearby.}'' Yes! All will tremble at the crack of our eggs and the hush of our 2-ply toilet papers.

''{The King of Town walks up again.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I know how to use toilet paper. Let me try.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Listen... ahem... "Your Highness". We're about to egg the everloving crap out of your castle. It just won't be any fun if you're standing there!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Yeah it will! On account o' I'm totally cool!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quickly and quietly}'' No, you're not. ''{in a normal voice}'' But we're prepared to give you a dozen of these eggs ''{The Cheat grunts as if saying "here" as he lays down a carton of eggs in front of The King of Town}'' and let you wash it down with a roll of toilet paper, ''{Strong Mad throws a roll of toilet paper next to the eggs}'' in exchange for you leaving us alone for the rest of eternity.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{delighted}'' It's a deal! ''{The King runs off, taking his eggs and toilet paper with him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's what I thought.

''{cuts to a door opening to reveal Coach Z and Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' What the? Oh, I remember this house from a couple of years ago.

'''COACH Z:''' Track or Trort!

'''BUBS:''' C'mon, man.

'''COACH Z:''' Okay, Trick or Treat.

''{At this point you can choose what candy to give them by dragging it onto them.}''
------------
==== Swedish Fish ====
'''COACH Z:''' Oh, the Swordish Forsh!

'''BUBS:''' What did I just tell you?

'''COACH Z:''' Cut me some slack. It's a crowd-pleaser.

''{door closes}''

==== Delicious "Bag" ====
'''COACH Z:''' What is that? One of them old school candies? I got some old school for youse. ''{rapping}'' This year Halloween falls on a weekend. Me and Ghetto Boys are trick-or-treatin'. Robbin' little kids for bags.

'''BUBS:''' Uh... he doesn't really mean we've been out robbin' little kids. ''{door begins to close}'' No, wait-- ''{slam}''

==== Zagnut ====
'''BUBS:''' Aw, ZAG-nut!

'''COACH Z:''' Yeah. Aw, Zagnut!

'''BUBS:''' No, no. Aw, ZAAAG-nut!

'''COACH Z:''' Right, right. Aww, ZAAAAG-nut!

'''BOTH:''' AWWWWWW— ''{slam}''
----------------
''{You can also choose nothing by clicking anywhere on the screen, but not giving them a treat. If you do this, the door closes, and reopens with Stinkoman dressed as Speed Racer. You can also drag the pumpkin near the door onto Bubs or Coach Z to trigger this.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Check out my new cohs-PLAY! I'm a demon on wheels!

==== Zagnut ====
'''STINKOMAN:''' I can't eat that kind of bar because I'm in training. Don't you have of the other kinds of bars? You know... energy bars... or power bars... or training bars?

==== Prawn ====
'''STINKOMAN:''' I love prawns. Simple as that! ''{dances}''

==== Jar labeled "Akira" ====
'''STINKOMAN:''' Eh. Ew. Aah! Nnn! Eh! Ew! Ahhhhh! ''{Giant tentacles and veins start coming out his body where his right arm should be}'' That tickles.
--------------------------
''{cuts to Pom Pom and Homestar walking along}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wow, Pom Pom. Did you know that lady? Why'd she give you a hundred bucks? All's I got was a dang old Bit o' Honey.

''{they stop at The Poopsmith, dressed up, who is sticking his shovel in and out of a pile of [[whatsit]]}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, Pom Pom. You knock this time. ''{Pom Pom does nothing}'' Fine. I'll ring the doorbell. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! ''{He rocks his head back and forth as if his head were a bell}'' The Poopsmith! Trick or treat! ''{The Poopsmith offers some of his dung. Pom Pom bubbles something and leaves}'' Suit yourself. More for me. Lay it on me, Poop-Stick!

''{cuts to Strong Sad in his seance}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Credenza! Credwenzia! Crewdenz—

'''MARZIPAN:''' It's been two hours and we haven't heard anything. Credenza must hate me.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, no! Maybe I just need to do this some more. Credenzel!!!

''{they hear a knocking sound}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' What's that? That must be him.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yup. That sounds like a ficus.

''{Cut to Homestar Runner on the porch}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let, me, in. ''{hits the door with his head as each word is spoken}'' Da, da, da. Let me in!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{opening the door}'' Hey, you're not a dead ficus plant!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're so smart. I'm Homestar Runn—

'''MARZIPAN:''' Get in here, you guys. You're gonna scare away Credenza.

''{Cut to the King of Town, eating the last of his toilet paper.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Doo! Not bad for a first course. ...I'm still hungry.

''{cuts back to everyone at Marzipan's house}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I told you I'd get a million libs of candy.

'''BUBS:''' That sure doesn't smell like candy.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{slightly angry}'' Hey, you're right! Poopsmith, did you give me some bum candy?

'''BUBS:''' ''{snickers}'' He sure did!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Any minute now. ''{electrical disturbances occur}'' Oooo!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Whoa! Electrical disturbances. There's definitely a powerful spirit present.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You mean, like, the spirit of giving?

''{Outside, the King of Town is eating a string of candy corn lights}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{eating noises}''

''{Marzipan walks up}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' You've got to be kidding me! Stop doing that right now.

''{she goes back in}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Stop what? I don't do nothing!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Stupid, stupid King of Town. He gets on my nerv—''{loud banging occurs}'' What the crap!?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I think this is it!

''{outside, Strong Mad is punching the side of the house with a roll of toilet paper over and over}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' WAH! WAH! WAH! WAH!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sitting on throne made from stacks of toilet paper rolls}'' Uhhh, that's not really the conventional way to roll a house, but, uh, whatever works!

''{From inside, we see that Strong Mad punches a hole in the side of the house.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' HIGGINS!!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, hi, Strong Mad. ''{mumbles}'' Stupid. This is stupid. He ate the candy corn lights.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa. What's going on in here? You guys having one of those stupid moron parties or something?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay. Everybody say it with me this time.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' This is boring!

'''STRONG SAD AND MARZIPAN:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Credenza!

'''COACH Z:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Cradernza!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Witch's brew!

''{A sudden gust of wind blows the candles out and the room goes dark.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Whoa. The lights went out.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa. Magic.

'''BUBS:''' Yup. I've dealt with this before. Lights: definitely out.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And somebody's a-grabbin' a-my butt.

''{the lights come on and there is a ficus plant on the table}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Credenza! You're alive!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Saints be praised! Credenza's alive!

'''STRONG SAD AND MARZIPAN:''' Yay!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...and Strong Bad got to throw toilet paper at stuff!

'''STRONG BAD, STRONG MAD, AND THE CHEAT:''' Yay!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:'''... and I got a million pounds of candy! ''{No one cheers.}'' ''{quietly, to himself}'' Yay. ''{to the group}'' ...and the goblin showed up, dressed up like up a Santaman.

''{cut to The Goblin, who dances. His trademark music plays as he does.}''

'''ALL:''' Yay!

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*When Homestar says "I told you I'd get a million libs of candy", he is trying to pronounce the abbreviation of pounds: "lbs".
*[[Wikipedia:Cosplay|Cosplay]] (as mentioned in Stinkoman's greeting) is a form of dress-up done usually at anime conventions, where people dress up as anime characters they enjoy.
*A [[Wikipedia:Credenza|credenza]] is a piece of furniture, usually wooden, with a long top and several drawers for storing dinner- and silverware. It is most commonly used as a buffet setting for large meals. Less commonly, a [[Wikipedia:Credenza desk|credenza desk]] is a piece of office furniture having a long flat top and often containing file drawers, a kneehole, and accessories for a computer.

===Trivia===
*Bit o' Honey, [[Zagnut Bars|Zagnut]], and [[Wikipedia:Swedish fish|Swedish Fish]] are actual candies.
*The first sound the King of Town makes when he eats the candy corn lights is the same as when he eats the food flung at him in the game [[Revenge of the King]].
*There are a total of ten Easter eggs in this cartoon, even more than the Strong Bad Emails [[flashback]] and [[retirement]].
*In the [[Sketchbook (museum)|Sketchbook]], it is revealed that a rejected Marzipan costume for an early Halloween toon was also a Speed Racer costume, [[Wikipedia:Speed Racer#The characters|Trixie]].
*If you zoom in on the change Bubs gives Homestar, all of the coins (a dime, a nickel, and a penny) have George Washington on them, even though George Washington is only on the U.S. quarter and one-dollar bill in real life.
*The noise Stinkoman makes when he dances (when you give him the prawn) is the same sound effect that [[Pan-Pan]] uses to talk.
*This is the first Homestar Halloween toon to actually include the word "halloween" in the title.
*This is the first major Halloween toon where the loading screen does not include any type of game.
*Up until [[Halloween Fairstival]], this was the longest holiday toon on the site.

===Remarks===
*When Homestar says "someone is grabbing my butt," it is most likely either Bubs (since he is right behind Homestar), Coach Z, since he is closer to Homestar than Bubs, or his imagination. Coach Z is the most likely suspect, due to his butt fixation.
*This Halloween episode carries on the tradition in which a secret scene with Homsar is activated by interacting with the Poopsmith somehow.
*In every other Halloween episode (except the first, for the obvious reason that Homsar didn't exist yet), activating Homsar causes him to appear with the rest of the group at the end. This episode is the exception—whether or not you activate Homsar or Stinkoman, they do not appear at the end.
*This is one of the first times that Coach Z demonstrates his ability to speak without his trademark Upper Midwestern accent.
*The rings around The Cheat's right "foot" (part of his Izzy costume) may suggest that this portion of his anatomy is actually a tail.
*When Homestar and Pom Pom are walking together, you can see that Homestar's wig shakes, but Pom Pom's necklace stays in place.
*In the final group shot, each time you click on a character to activate an Easter egg, Strong Bad closes his mouth (whether or not he has any lines) and opens it again once each egg is finished. Coach Z's arm also moves a little bit when Easter Eggs are activated in the last scene.
*At the end of the Poopsmith's Easter egg on the final screen, the Poopsmith walks back into the frame. Not only is this one of the few times we ever see him walk, but he has ''knees'' (at least in this costume).
*During the scene with the "electrical disturbance," it is unclear how problems with the house's power could be affecting the candles on the table, seemingly the only light source in the room.
*This is the first time Marzipan says [[crap]] on the website and the only time [[Missy Palmer]] is known to have said it. Marzipan says crap in [[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]], but was voiced by [[Matt Chapman]] in that toon.

===Goofs===
*When The Cheat and The Brothers Strong leave The Stick after their deal with the King of Town, The Cheat's torch reappears in his hand/paw.
*When Bubs says he has all of Strong Bad's stuff 'round back, his upper arm looks disconnected from his lower arm.
*When Strong Sad chants "Credenza" with the rest of the group, his mouth doesn't move.
*During every Easter egg on the end screen accessible by clicking on a character, Strong Mad is illuminated.

===Inside References===
*The Cheat's costume refers to the first Homestar Runner book, which was written during the 1996 [[Olympics]] in Atlanta when Mike Chapman was a light rigger for the Australian telecasts of those games.
*Strong Bad references the first Halloween toon when he says "I'm Carmen freakin Miranda!" and the second Halloween toon when he says "I'm Carmen freakin Sandiego!"
*The [[Delicious "Bag"]] first appeared in [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]].
*This toon marks the fourth time [[Witches' Brew]], an inside joke of tremendous proportions, has been mentioned.
*Though now focused on the King of Town's castle, Strong Bad previously wanted to "egg the everloving crap" out of Marzipan's house in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 7.0]].
*Bubs's line "I remember this house from a couple of years ago.", as well as the whole scene, is an obvious reference to [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]].
*Strong Mad also had visible chest hairs in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]].
*Homestar Runner knocks on Marzipan's door with his head. In [[The Reddest Radish]], ''she'' knocked on ''his'' door in the same way.

===Real-World References===
[[Image:Akirarunner.png|thumb|200px|That tickles!]]
*The jar you give to Stinkoman is a reference to the animé film "[[Wikipedia:Akira (film)|Akira]]," where a similar thing happened to the character named [[Wikipedia:Tetsuo Shima|Tetsuo]].
*[[Wikipedia:Yoo-Hoo|Yoo-Hoo]] is the name of a chocolate soft drink that is popular in America.
*Coach Z's old school rap is the beginning of the fourth verse of the [[Wikipedia:Geto Boys|Geto Boys]]' 1991 hit song "Mind Playin Tricks On Me."
*The line "I'm a demon on wheels!" from Stinkoman's intro is taken from the [[Wikipedia:Speed Racer|Speed Racer]] theme song.
*The flaming maneuver the Poopsmith does when you click on him is M. Bison's Psycho Crusher attack from [[Wikipedia:Street Fighter|Street Fighter]]. The move was known in earlier versions of SFII as the "flaming torpedo". Hence, the reference to a "flaming Poopsmith".
*When Strong Mad bashes a hole in the house he yells "Higgins!" This is a reference to the show [[Wikipedia:Magnum, P.I.|Magnum, P.I.]] (where Strong Mad's costume comes from). Higgins is the manager of the estate where Magnum lives.
*The line Homestar says to Coach Z at the end of the toon, "I really like your Wesley Snakes outfit," is likely a reference to [[Wikipedia:Wesley Snipes|Wesley Snipes]], the actor who played the character Blade in all three [[Wikipedia:Blade_(movie)|Blade]] movies.
*"Robble! Robble!" was the Hamburglar's [[Wikipedia:Catchphrase|catchphrase]].
*The photo of Marzipan's dead ficus plant that appears in the introduction and during the seance resembles "Chuck the Plant" from various LucasArts Adventure Games.
*[[Wikipedia:El DeBarge|El DeBarge]] and [[Wikipedia:Terence Trent D'Arby|Terence Trent D'Arby]] are 1980s R&B artists, and [[Wikipedia:Miami Sound Machine|Miami Sound Machine]] is a 1980's salsa band best known for their lead singer [[Wikipedia:Gloria Estefan|Gloria Estefan]].
*[[Strong Sad]]'s lines at the end—"This is not my beautiful house! This is not my beautiful wife!"—are lyrics from the song "Once in a Lifetime" by [[wikipedia:Talking Heads|Talking Heads]]. This is appropriate, as Strong Sad's "big suit" costume is the one worn by their lead singer, [[wikipedia:David Byrne|David Byrne]], in the concert movie [[wikipedia:Stop Making Sense|Stop Making Sense]].
*Homestar's line "Let, me, in! (Da Da Da) let me in!" is a reference to "Shall We Dance?", a duet from the musical "[[Wikipedia:The King and I|The King and I]]", in which the orchestra plays the "Da Da Da" rhythm.
*Homestar's line about houses giving away lead candies is a reference to a [[Wikipedia:Moral panic|moral panic]] that occurred during the 1980s, in which there was much fear of people giving away candy that had been tampered with to children. Some of the more popular suspects were apples injected with drugs, candies with needles broken off into them, and as Homestar remarks, pieces of lead wrapped in candy wrappers.
**Homestar could also be looking for a quick way to reach his goal of one million pounds of candy, as lead is well known as a rather massive element.
*[[Wikipedia:Oreo|Oreos]] are a popular brand of cookie.

{{about|toons menu itself}} {{for|list of all toons|Toons}}

[[Image:New Toons Menu.png|thumb|300px|The new Toons menu]]

The '''menu''' in which all the [[Toons]] are listed on a ''[[Wikipedia:TV Guide|TV Guide]]''-like [[Periodicals|magazine]] entitled '''TV Time'''.

'''Place:''' [[Homestar Runner's House]]

'''Date:''' July 14, 2002

'''Page Title:''' Fun in the Living Room!

==Easter Eggs==

*Placing the mouse over the tape "[[Joy of Painting]]" displays a small clip of [[Marzipan]] dressed as [[Wikipedia:Bob Ross|Bob Ross]] painting with a [[Marzipan's Painting Tools|palette knife]].

*Clicking on the top left corner of the ''TV Time'' booklet will close it and show one of four different covers:
{| align="center" width="90%" border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 style="border-collapse:collapse"
|- bgcolor=#eeeeee
! Cover !! Caption !! Description
|-
| [[Image:1tvtime.png|100px]] || Homestar Runner and Company: Eating [[Pie]] and Getting [[Glossary#D|Doppy]] || The main characters of Homestar Runner (except [[Homsar]])
|-
| [[Image:2tvtime.png|100px]] || Homestar Runner: Ummm...Seriously || [[Homestar Runner]]

|-
| [[Image:Strong Mad and The Cheat TV Time Cover 4.png|100px]] || Strong Mad & the Cheat: The Next Bosom Buddies? || [[Strong Mad]] hugging [[The Cheat]]
|-
|}

*By placing the mouse over the Strong Bad Email button and holding it there for a short while, the TV will show Strong Bad sitting at the [[Tandy 400]] soundlessly checking his email, receiving the following message:
<blockquote class="tandy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
I drank too much salty plum soda. 
 
 
-Stu</blockquote>
to which Strong Bad replies, "No such thing, Stu. No such thing."

*If the mouse is held over [[Teen Girl Squad]] for a while, it will show an intro.
**[[Cheerleader]]'s shirt says. "li'l brat". Her card says, "hair products!".
**[[So and So]]'s card says, "plaid skirt!".
**[[What's Her Face]]'s card says, "baggy clothes!".
**[[The Ugly One]]'s card says, "drill team!".

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===

*The toons menu layout changed on June 22, 2004, and divided all the toons into eight categories. (The old version can be seen [http://www.homestarrunner.kitkorp.com/toons-pre-new-remote.html here].) It displayed [[Strong Bad Email]], [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]], and [[Teen Girl Squad]] in a section called [[Features]]. [[Powered by The Cheat]] and [[Puppet Stuff]] were listed under Shorts.
*The Back button will always go to [[Main Page 4]].
*[[Homestar Runner]]'s TV is called [[TeeBee]].
*During the sample of [[The Reddest Radish]] on the TV, Strong Bad jumps and spins. He does not do this in the actual toon.
*Likewise, during the sample of [[Kick the Can]], [[The Homestar Runner]]'s body sinks onto his legs and his head sinks into his body. Then his head and legs sprout out of the can. This also does not happen in the toon.
*The preview of [[The System is Down]] has Homestar running past the 404 error. He does not do this in the toon.
*The Strong Bad Email Easter Egg comes from an abandoned project called [[Wireless Bizness]].
*On February 12, 2007, a "[[New Stuff]]" tape replaced one of the (non-interactive) "Joy of Painting" videos. When clicked, it lists the toons released in 2007.
*During the sample of [[Quality Time]], Cardboard Homestar's eyes have no glasses and are shaped like Homestar's eyes.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Whitenoise_goof.png |thumb|What's with all the noise?]]
*During the following toon previews, the preview overlaying the static doesn't completely cover it, and so some white noise can be seen on the TV screen:
**[[Cool Things]]
**[[Summer Short Shorts]]
**[[500 The Cheats]]
**[[TrogdorCon '97]]
**[[The Li'l Brudder Show]]
**[[Happy Trogday]]
**[[Snowglobe]]
**[[Homestar vs. Other Little Girl]]
**[[Biz Cas Fri 1]], [[Biz Cas Fri 2|2]] and [[Biz Cas Fri 3|3]]
**All the [[Puppet Jam|Puppet Jams]]
**[[New Boots]]
**[[unnatural]]
**[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 12|Teen Girl Squad 12]]
**[[Quality Time]]
**[[bike thief]]

===Glitches===

*Sometimes, on older computers, clicking Toons, Shorts, or Holiday does not open the closed TV Time booklet, so the cover must be clicked on to open it. All it shows is a blank page with the title "[[Dennis]]" on it.

</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad makes a rock-ish scream in place of the emoticon.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Wait, you guys are really asking me that? We do that to you people all the time. There've been like twelve King of Towns. ''{clears screen}'' And are you telling me you've already forgotten about the original Bubs?

''{Cut to Homestar Runner in front of Bubs' Concession Stand. A silhouette resembling Bubs is seen in the foreground.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hi, Original Bubs! How's original business?

''{Cut to in front of the stand. The character behind the counter only vaguely resembles Bubs; his head is dark blue and shaped as though it has hair, both of his eyes are the same shape and size, and his teeth are straight. His body is solid orange and hunched over. He has visible rectangular hands that are the same color as his face. "BY ORIGINAL BUBS" is seen on the stand's sign. Two papers are taped to the stand that read "CHEAP THRILLS!" and "CHEAPER TRICKS!"}''

'''ORIGINAL BUBS:''' ''{his voice is lower-pitched than Bubs's and not as gravelly; openings form in his mouth as he speaks}'' Hey, Homestar. I can see you from here! ''{holds his hands apart}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's some great eyesight, Original Bubs!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But it wasn't all good eyesight and cheap prices!

''{The screen becomes inverted grayscale and spooky music starts. The camera zooms in on Original Bubs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Behind the scenes lay a thick bubbling pit of crude turmoil!

''{As the colors return to normal, the scene cuts to the King of Town and Original Bubs standing behind a table with an iced tea container, paper cups, a box of [[Swiss Cake Rolls]], and a Tupperware box of a white substance. Original Bubs is pointing at the Tupperware box with an angry expression.}''

'''ORIGINAL BUBS:''' Who ate all the mayo off of my egg salad?! And how?!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' It's a proprietary technique I can't reveal!

'''ORIGINAL BUBS:''' This is the first and last straw! I'm outta here, you amateurs!

''{Original Bubs walks away to music. For the first time, his bottom half is revealed. It is gray and similarly-shaped to Bubs's legs, but with tiny legs and pointed in the wrong direction from his upper body. There is no green stripe. He walks offscreen. Cut to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' With Original Bubs' ''{pronounced "Bubs's"}'' future uncertain, we had to come up with some pretty creative ways to write him into stories, so that viewers didn't know he was gone.

''{Cut to Original Bubs' Concession Stand. Homestar and Strong Bad are standing in front of it wearing lederhosen. Behind the counter is a large cardboard box that reads "FRIDGERATE AGAIN".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, Original Bubs, who is totally behind that refrigerator box, says ''I'' won the yodelling contest.

''{Static briefly appears, and the scene cuts to one with Homestar and Strong Bad, dressed like Canadian Mounties, speaking to a box labeled "DEESH WARSH".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, Original Bubs, who is totally behind that dishwasher box...

''{More static, cutting to a closeup of Homestar in a poncho and sombrero, with a box that reads "KLEENLOAD" behind him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...behind that washer/dryer box...

''{More static. Now Homestar is wearing a black jacket and floppy black hat, and the box reads "HOT2O".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...that hot water heater box...

''{More static. Homestar wears an African dashiki, and the stand has an upside-down shoe box labeled "[[freshley's]]" with a tower made out of toothpicks on top.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...behind that... ''{clearly confused}'' toothpick sculpture?

''{More static, cutting to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Once it became apparent that Original Bubs was gone for good, there was an interim period of rotating guest Bubs. Like when talk show hosts have surgery, or go to jail.

''{Cut to the inside of Bubs' Concession Stand. Homestar walks up. The person behind the counter is Senor Cardgage wearing an orange shirt with a greem stripe across it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey there, Senator Cardgage Bubs, lemme get a manilla cheese Coke!

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Oh...

''{Cut to the front of the stand.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' I should eat a pony.

''{Homestar flinches with surprise. Static cuts to Strong Bad and The Cheat at the stand, with Crack Stuntman playing Bubs. The sign has "CRACK STUNT" posted over the word "ORIGINAL".}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' BLAAAAAAAAAAH!! What can I get? For you fine gentlemen?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{annoyed}'' Never mind, Crack Stunt Bubs.

''{Cut to a closeup.}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' Oh... I should eat a pony.

''{Strong Bad flinches with surprise.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And don't forget fan favorite,

''{Cut to an onion with Bubs's face drawn on it sitting on the stand's counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Onion Bubs.

''{A crowd can be heard cheering, with one voice screaming "Onion Bubs!" over and over. Static cuts back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Finally, we had to settle on a little known Bubs with zero experience. And it's been downhill ever since.

'''BUBS:''' ''{from offscreen}'' Ahem.

''{Cut back to show Bubs looking at Strong Bad angrily. He has the ends of his arms curled up as though they are fists and is waving them menacingly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, hey, New Bubs.

'''BUBS:''' We're gonna need a new Strong Bad in about two seconds!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reminiscing}'' Yeah, Original Bubs used to threaten me like that. It just doesn't sound the same coming out of you.

''{Bubs punches Strong Bad in the face four times and puts his hands on his hips.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, Original Bubs used to pummel me senseless like that. It just doesn't sound—

''{Bubs holds up his right "fist" menacingly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' OKAY OKAY OKAY!!!

'''BUBS:''' You tell these people ''I'm'' the original Buh... b'zuh.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right! You're the original Bubs!

''{Cut to a closeup of Bubs, no longer angry and looking at the camera. The background turns orange.}''

'''BUBS:''' That's right! ''{The following words appear above him:}'' 100% All Original Bubs! ''{And the following words appear below him:}'' If I had thumbs, I'd be sticking 'em up my armpits right now!

''{He puts the ends of his arms into his armpits as a demonstration. The camera closes out to encircle Bubs's face with a blue background.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' 100% all original Bubs! If he had thumbs, he'd be sticking 'em up his armpits right now! ''{queasy}'' Uhhhhh...

''{Cut to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But we really do replace people. Take the New Paper, for instance. Come on, New Paper, disappoint me!

''{[[New Paper]] comes down and the entire page falls off the top of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoop! Ahh, when it comes to disappointment, you never disappoint.

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end, click on "replace people" to see a field full of King of Town graves, including one for "Onion King of Town".
*At the end, click on the word "downhill" to see a short scene with Homestar Runner and Marzipan.
:''{Open at the Field. Homestar Runner is standing with a can by his feet}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sigh}''
:''{Homestar Runner kicks the can to the right of screen as Marzipan enters}''
:'''MARZIPAN:''' What's the matter, Homestar?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I miss Original Bubs.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, Strong Bad made all that stuff up.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You can't make up eyesight that good. He could always see me ''{sobbing}'' from over there.

==Fun Facts ==
===Explanation===
*The \m/ emoticon is intended to represent the "[[Wikipedia:Corna|rock horns]]".

=== Trivia ===
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#SWOTL|SWOTL]]".

===Remarks===
*Onion Bubs has differently-shaped eyes, like the real Bubs, instead of two identical eyes like Original Bubs, on which it was supposed to be based.
*[[New Paper]]'s "Click here to email Strong Bad" link is fully functional until it falls off the screen.
*The plural of "Bubs" should be "Bubses", as it was in [[Sketchbook_2005#SK-2005-02-27|the Sketchbook for February 27, 2005]].
*Homestar Runner wears [[Strong Sad's iPod|iPod]] headphones when he is dressed as a Canadian Mountie.

===Goofs===
[[Image:neck disconnected - original.png|thumb|[[Disconnected]] again?]]
*On the second punch (when Strong Bad's head pops up) his head is for a very brief moment disconnected, mainly around at the right side of the neck.

*At the line "And are you telling me you've already forgotten about the original Bubs?", if you listen closely, you can hear a short "skip" in the sound between the end of the previous sentence, and the beginning of this one.

===Inside References===
*The clothes Homestar's wearing are from [[Main Page 2]]
*Original Bubs resembles a preliminary sketch of Bubs as seen in the [[Sketchbook (museum)|Sketchbook in the Museum]].
*The "original" Bubs' Concession Stand sign is similar to the design used in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]], [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Where's The Cheat?]].
*Bubs saying that he has no thumbs is a reference to his [[Lack of Visible Arms|lack of visible fingers]].
*The premise of this email, that Bubs is a character in what equates to a TV show, is a [[fourth wall break]].
*The back of [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] on this toon is the same one from [[A Jumping Jack Contest]]. Crack Stuntman's line "What can I get for you fine gentlemen?" echoes Bubs' similar line from the same toon the back of the stand came from.

===Real-World References===
*This email spoofs the [[Wikipedia:List of television show casting changes#Named forms of casting change|Darrin syndrome]], when an actor in a series is replaced without explanation, a prominent example being the replacement of [[Wikipedia:Dick York|Dick York]] with [[Wikipedia:Dick Sargent|Dick Sargent]] in the role of Darrin Stevens on ''[[Wikipedia:Bewitched|Bewitched]]''. Similarly to in the email, shortly after York left the show but before Sargent took his place, Darrin's character was frequently referred to but was never present on screen.
*The toothpick sculpture is in the shape of the [[Wikipedia:Statue of Liberty|Statue of Liberty]].
*The Music played during Original Bubs's exit is simlar to the music from [[Wikipedia:Crash Twinsanity|Crash Twinsanity]].
*Homestar's black outfit is similar to the sheriff's outfit worn by [[Wikipedia:Frances McDormand|Frances McDormand]] in the movie ''[[imdb:tt0116282|Fargo]]''.
*Homestar asking Senor Cardgage for manilla cheese Coke is a play on the various flavored colas, especially [[Wikipedia:Coca-Cola Vanilla|Vanilla Coke]].
*The first scene involving Original Bubs having its colors inverted while zooming in on Original Bubs is a reference to documentary series such as [[Wikipedia:E! True Hollywood Story|E! True Hollywood Story]], which commonly detail the careers of actors who are currently or previously popular. E! True Hollywood Story in particular is known for focusing on scandals and failures in actors' lives.

Strong Bad, Strong Sad, Homestar Runner, Pom Pom, and Bubs enter a [[Contests|jumping jack contest]]. The person who continually jumps jacks for the longest wins. Strong Bad cheats with the help of The Cheat and Strong Mad, of course. It is based loosely on the [[Original Book|original Homestar Runner book]], and has since been taken off the site. You can play a [[Strong Lib]] while it loads.

No, seriously. I'm a pretty ''(adjective)'' person. But I saw this one ''(noun)'' last week and boy was it ''(adjective)''. This ''(adjective)'' guy was at ''(restaurant)'' and he started ''(-ing verb)'' ''(plural noun)''. I was like, <nowiki>'</nowiki>''(exclamation)''! You're ''(-ing verb)'' ''(plural noun)''.' He told me to stop ''(-ing verb)'' him. I ''(verb (past))'' on his shoes.

== Transcript ==
''{The beginning credits roll with characters jumping jacks in background. Zoom in on Bubs, Strong Bad, Homestar, Pom Pom, and Strong Sad standing on a large, wooden platform with a banner on it, reading "A JUMPING JACK CONTEST!" The Announcer appears onscreen.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Good afternoo—

''{He is cut off by microphone feedback and winces.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a jumping jack contest!

''{Cut to a close-up of Bubs doing a quick dance. His name appears onscreen, as with the rest of the contestants.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Our five hot contestants—

''{Pan right to Strong Bad hitting the sides of his head.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' —will compete to see who can sustain their jumping jacks—

''{Pan right to Homestar Runner quickly hopping up and down.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' —for the longest time!

''{Pan right to Pom Pom bouncing from side to side.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Any contestant that ceases to jump jack, even for a moment,—

''{Pan right to Strong Sad.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' — is out of the competition.

''{Strong Sad slowly sighs. Cut to The Announcer.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' On your mark... get set... go!

''{He holds up a starting pistol and fires it into the air. Cut to silhouettes of the contestants doing jumping jacks. Cut to a close-up of Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{after two jacks}'' Whew. ''{sweats}'' I quit.

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{still jumping jacks}'' All right, Strong Sad! That's twice as many as last year!

''{Cut to Strong Bad jumping jacks. The Cheat emerges from behind the wooden platform.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, The Cheat! Is everything ready?

''{The Cheat nods}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good! Now go, and win us this competition!

''{As Strong Bad says this, The Cheat races off.}''

''{Cut to Homestar. The Cheat jumps up on stage with a glass of melonade on a platter.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, The Cheat, what's up?

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{seen through the glass}'' A glass of melonade for me? Hmmm... okay!

''{The Cheat holds up the platter, and Homestar drinks it through a straw.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, The Cheat!

''{Cut to a grassy area, empty except for Strong Mad standing by with some kegs of melonade. As The Cheat scurries into the frame and sets down the glass of melonade, Strong Mad refills The Cheat's empty glass.}''

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

''{The Cheat runs off with the refilled glass. Cut back to Homestar at the Competition Area. The Cheat goes to Homestar Runner and offers him another glass.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, another one! ''{drinks}''

''{We cut to a montage of Homestar Runner drinking glass after glass of melonade, Strong Mad refilling the glasses, and The Cheat fetching him more while music plays. Soon Homestar Runner has a huge belly and he jumps his jacks with crossed legs.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... I drank too many melonades... ''{bilious musical effect}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, you not looking so good Homestar. I think you better drop out.

''{Cut to the empty field. The Cheat and Strong Mad high five. Cut back to the Competition Area.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Seriously, Pom Pom, I'm about to pee my pants.

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Great idea, Pom Pom! But do you think he can get here in time?

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar's head. Homestar closes his eyes and gives a sigh of relief. Zoom out to show The Poopsmith walking away holding a jar of "yellow liquid." Homestar's belly is now empty.}''

''{Cut to a screen displaying the words "Day 2" on a white silhouette of Bubs jumping jacks. Cut back to the competition.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Bubs. Looks like quite a line is building up at your concession stand.

''{Cut to Bubs' stand. The "customers" waiting in line are The Cheat and Strong Mad. Strong Mad taps his foot while The Cheat looks around.}''

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

''{Cut to a close-up of Bubs. He stops jumping jacks and his eyes grow wide.}''

'''BUBS:''' Hot DOG!

''{Bubs runs off leaving a cloud of smoke. Cut back to the Stand, where Bubs enters it.}''

'''BUBS:''' What can I get for you fine gentlemen?

''{He holds up various treats, including a bag of popcorn, a sno cone, a "BERSHEY" candy bar, a soft drink, small wrapped candies, and a "POO-BAR" candy bar. Strong Mad and The Cheat walk away.}''

'''BUBS:''' Oh... I'm such a dummy.

''{Cut back to the Competition Area.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{through speakers}'' And so ends Day 2 of our competition with only THREE hot contestants left!

''{Day changes to night.}''

''{Pom Pom's silhouette spins onscreen, with the words "Day 3". It is now daytime again. Cut to Homestar, who is sweating.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' How you holding up Pom Pom?

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' How 'bout you, Strong Bad?

''{Zoom out to a full view of the Competition Area. Strong Mad wearing a Strong Bad mask is now on stage in place of Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I am Strong Bad!

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

'''POM POM:''' ''{frowns angrily, bubbles}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No way, Pom Pom, of course that's Strong Bad! ''{to Strong Mad}'' Ok, Strong Bad, are you Strong Bad?

''{Zoom out.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I am Strong Bad!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{to Pom Pom}'' See?

''{Cut to close-up of Pom Pom, who has a disbelieving look on his face.}''

''{Strong Bad's mask covers the screen, with the words "Day 4". Cut to Homestar, who is looking rather tired.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{wearily}'' I don't know how much longer I can make it, Pom Pom.

''{Zoom into Strong Bad's mask.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{off-screen}'' And Strong Bad's ''still'' looking good!

''{Zoom out to reveal The Cheat wearing a Strong Bad Mask. Cut to a pool, where we see Strong Bad, lounging in a chair at the poolside with a radio and a glass of melonade.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, let's see. I want to thank The Cheat for helping me to cheat—oh no, wait, I shouldn't say that. Let's try this again. I want to thank ''Strong Mad'' for helping me to cheat. There, that's better.

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{through Strong Bad's radio}'' Homestar Runner is fading fast and could drop out any moment!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{gets up}'' Ah, that's my cue! ''{exits screen}''

''{Cut to a side-view of the Competition Area. The Cheat is still in place of Strong Bad, and Homestar looks very weary.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I give up, Pom Pom. I'm about to jump my last jack.

''{Pom Pom, with a very angry look on his face, walks over to The Cheat. Cut to a close-up of The Cheat, where Pom Pom appears and overshadows The Cheat.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pom, what are you doing?!

''{Cut to The Cheat's view from inside the mask. Pom Pom reaches down to pull off the mask, and The Cheat lets out some startled exclamations as this is happening. Pom-Pom pulls off the mask. Cut to front view of The Cheat.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{off-screen}'' Hey, it's The Cheat,—

''{The Cheat grabs a Homestar Runner face cut-out from offscreen and puts it over his face, then throws it away.}''

'''BUBS:''' —and it looks like he's cheating!

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

''{Homestar Runner stops jumping jacks. A barber-shop style vocal arpeggio is heard, and we zoom in more and more to Homestar's face on each note.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If that's The Cheat, then where's Strong Bad?

''{Cut to an empty field, where Strong Bad is walking to the Competition Area. The camera moves along with Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Who is the guy that wins all the contests? That's me, Strong Bad. Except... maybe for that one contest. Or maybe more than one contest.

''{Cut back to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' There he is!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{annoyed}'' Oh! Holy... crap.

''{A trophy reading "What a Great Prize This Is." spins onscreen. Homestar holds it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, everybody, but this trophy really belongs to my best friend, Pom Pom.

''{Strong Bad walks onscreen wearing a Pom Pom costume, and takes the trophy from Homestar.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, give me that! Uh, I mean — bubble, bubble-dee-bubble. Dubble Bubble.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You said it, Pom Pom! We are best friends!

''{Fade out to a screen reading "THE END."}''

== Fun Facts ==

=== Remarks ===
*According to [[Matt Chapman]] in [[Club Aquatica Interview - 29 Oct 2003|the Club Aquatica interview]], "['[[Marshmallow's Last Stand]]' and 'A Jumping Jack Contest'] will be back on someday. We can’t disclose why they're off, it's a personal reason. If all goes well, they'll be back on the site; we’d like to have everything we've ever done on the site, and it sucks we had to take them off. They'll be back on someday."
*Technically, because arm movements are an important part of jumping jacks, Homestar Runner didn't do any, since he has [[Lack of Visible Arms|no visible arms]]. He also wasn't moving his feet correctly when he was full of melonades.
**Strong Sad didn't do any real jumping jacks either. He just raised his arms and bounced.
**Since The Cheat doesn't have legs, he wasn't doing jumping jacks right either.

=== Goofs ===
*You can easily see that Homestar broke the rules of the contest. He stopped jumping when he drank his first glass of melonade.
*When Homestar's bladder is full, and he says to Pom-Pom "But do you think he can get here in time?", the shading on the red part of his hat changes each time he moves his mouth.
*When Strong Bad tells The Cheat to "win them this competition", a corner of his mouth comes out of his head.
*When Homestar looks down and says, "I give up, Pom Pom", if you look closely it seems that his head was sliding a little bit down his shirt.
*Much or all of this toon does not lip sync very well, especially towards the end. If you look closely, the characters' mouth movements come about half of a second after they say the lines.
*On the menu, after you click "Play game", Strong Bad's head is more into his body (lower) that it should be.
*When the screen zooms out after Homestar pees, you hear that he is still moaning, but his mouth is closed.
*During the scene with Strong Bad at the pool, when some of the tiles are covered by the waves in the pool, you can see them below the water line.

=== Glitches ===
*After you have filled out the Strong Lib, you can highlight and change any of the text—including the text that wasn't affected by your choices before.
*If the Flash File is paused during the opening credits, the music continues playing until it reaches the part of the score that ends the scene.

=== Inside References ===
*Homestar's line "I drank too many melonades" is a reference to Marshmallow's Last Stand, in which he says the same thing about eating too many marshmallows.
*When Strong Bad mentions the contests he didn't win, he could be referring to the [[Original Book|Strongest Man in the World Contest]] or the wrestling match in Marshmallow's Last Stand.
*This is likely the earliest mention of [[Homestar Runner's Pants]].
*This is also one of the earliest sightings of [[Guns]].
*This is also the earliest mention of [[Peeing]].

=== Real-World References ===
*[[Wikipedia:Dubble Bubble|Dubble Bubble]] is a brand of bubble gum.
*When Bubs holds up his snacks, one is called Bershey, a play on the popular Hershey bars.

=== Fast Forward ===
*On the "Learn to speak The Cheat" record in the Strong Bad Email [[cheat talk]], one of the phrases is "Hey Homestar, would you like 147 glasses of [[melonade]]?", and the Cheat-speak equivalent is the sound he made when offering Homestar the melonade in this cartoon.
*In the Strong Bad Email [[some kinda robot]], Strong Bad sings, "Who's the guy that checks all those emails? That's me Strong Bad!," which is a reference to the song he sings in this cartoon.
*In the toon [[Strong Bad Sings]] one of his songs says "Who's the guy that wins all the contests?"
*Homestar drinks too many Melonades again in [[The Luau]].
*Bubs's movements when he does jumping jacks, warms up before the contest, and looks at the line at his stand are all settings in the game [[Dancin' Bubs]].
*The pool background was used again in [[Theme Song Video]], albeit with a diving board added. It was also featured in the email [[keep cool]].
*One of the scenes from this toon was exaggerated in [[Exaggerations]].
*In [[No Hands On Deck]], Homestar says that he hasn't talked about melonade in a while, and then his head changes to its design from this toon.
*Strong Bad actually thanks The Cheat for helping him to cheat in [[Halloween Awards Show]].
*The back of [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] from this toon reappears in [[original]]. Later, [[Crack Stuntman]] says Bubs' line, "What can I get for you fine gentlemen" on the same toon

''{Strong Bad makes a rock-ish scream in place of the emoticon.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Wait, you guys are really asking me that? We do that to you people all the time. There've been like twelve King of Towns. ''{clears screen}'' And are you telling me you've already forgotten about the original Bubs?

''{Cut to Homestar Runner in front of Bubs' Concession Stand. A silhouette resembling Bubs is seen in the foreground.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hi, Original Bubs! How's original business?

''{Cut to in front of the stand. The character behind the counter only vaguely resembles Bubs; his head is dark blue and shaped as though it has hair, both of his eyes are the same shape and size, and his teeth are straight. His body is solid orange and hunched over. He has visible rectangular hands that are the same color as his face. "BY ORIGINAL BUBS" is seen on the stand's sign. Two papers are taped to the stand that read "CHEAP THRILLS!" and "CHEAPER TRICKS!"}''

'''ORIGINAL BUBS:''' ''{his voice is lower-pitched than Bubs's and not as gravelly; openings form in his mouth as he speaks}'' Hey, Homestar. I can see you from here! ''{holds his hands apart}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's some great eyesight, Original Bubs!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But it wasn't all good eyesight and cheap prices!

''{The screen becomes inverted grayscale and spooky music starts. The camera zooms in on Original Bubs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Behind the scenes lay a thick bubbling pit of crude turmoil!

''{As the colors return to normal, the scene cuts to the King of Town and Original Bubs standing behind a table with an iced tea container, paper cups, a box of [[Swiss Cake Rolls]], and a Tupperware box of a white substance. Original Bubs is pointing at the Tupperware box with an angry expression.}''

'''ORIGINAL BUBS:''' Who ate all the mayo off of my egg salad?! And how?!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' It's a proprietary technique I can't reveal!

'''ORIGINAL BUBS:''' This is the first and last straw! I'm outta here, you amateurs!

''{Original Bubs walks away to music. For the first time, his bottom half is revealed. It is gray and similarly-shaped to Bubs's legs, but with tiny legs and pointed in the wrong direction from his upper body. There is no green stripe. He walks offscreen. Cut to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' With Original Bubs' ''{pronounced "Bubs's"}'' future uncertain, we had to come up with some pretty creative ways to write him into stories, so that viewers didn't know he was gone.

''{Cut to Original Bubs' Concession Stand. Homestar and Strong Bad are standing in front of it wearing lederhosen. Behind the counter is a large cardboard box that reads "FRIDGERATE AGAIN".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, Original Bubs, who is totally behind that refrigerator box, says ''I'' won the yodelling contest.

''{Static briefly appears, and the scene cuts to one with Homestar and Strong Bad, dressed like Canadian Mounties, speaking to a box labeled "DEESH WARSH".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, Original Bubs, who is totally behind that dishwasher box...

''{More static, cutting to a closeup of Homestar in a poncho and sombrero, with a box that reads "KLEENLOAD" behind him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...behind that washer/dryer box...

''{More static. Now Homestar is wearing a black jacket and floppy black hat, and the box reads "HOT2O".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...that hot water heater box...

''{More static. Homestar wears an African dashiki, and the stand has an upside-down shoe box labeled "[[freshley's]]" with a tower made out of toothpicks on top.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...behind that... ''{clearly confused}'' toothpick sculpture?

''{More static, cutting to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Once it became apparent that Original Bubs was gone for good, there was an interim period of rotating guest Bubs. Like when talk show hosts have surgery, or go to jail.

''{Cut to the inside of Bubs' Concession Stand. Homestar walks up. The person behind the counter is Senor Cardgage wearing an orange shirt with a greem stripe across it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey there, Senator Cardgage Bubs, lemme get a manilla cheese Coke!

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Oh...

''{Cut to the front of the stand.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' I should eat a pony.

''{Homestar flinches with surprise. Static cuts to Strong Bad and The Cheat at the stand, with Crack Stuntman playing Bubs. The sign has "CRACK STUNT" posted over the word "ORIGINAL".}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' BLAAAAAAAAAAH!! What can I get? For you fine gentlemen?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{annoyed}'' Never mind, Crack Stunt Bubs.

''{Cut to a closeup.}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' Oh... I should eat a pony.

''{Strong Bad flinches with surprise.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And don't forget fan favorite,

''{Cut to an onion with Bubs's face drawn on it sitting on the stand's counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Onion Bubs.

''{A crowd can be heard cheering, with one voice screaming "Onion Bubs!" over and over. Static cuts back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Finally, we had to settle on a little known Bubs with zero experience. And it's been downhill ever since.

'''BUBS:''' ''{from offscreen}'' Ahem.

''{Cut back to show Bubs looking at Strong Bad angrily. He has the ends of his arms curled up as though they are fists and is waving them menacingly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, hey, New Bubs.

'''BUBS:''' We're gonna need a new Strong Bad in about two seconds!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reminiscing}'' Yeah, Original Bubs used to threaten me like that. It just doesn't sound the same coming out of you.

''{Bubs punches Strong Bad in the face four times and puts his hands on his hips.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, Original Bubs used to pummel me senseless like that. It just doesn't sound—

''{Bubs holds up his right "fist" menacingly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' OKAY OKAY OKAY!!!

'''BUBS:''' You tell these people ''I'm'' the original Buh... b'zuh.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right! You're the original Bubs!

''{Cut to a closeup of Bubs, no longer angry and looking at the camera. The background turns orange.}''

'''BUBS:''' That's right! ''{The following words appear above him:}'' 100% All Original Bubs! ''{And the following words appear below him:}'' If I had thumbs, I'd be sticking 'em up my armpits right now!

''{He puts the ends of his arms into his armpits as a demonstration. The camera closes out to encircle Bubs's face with a blue background.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' 100% all original Bubs! If he had thumbs, he'd be sticking 'em up his armpits right now! ''{queasy}'' Uhhhhh...

''{Cut to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But we really do replace people. Take the New Paper, for instance. Come on, New Paper, disappoint me!

''{[[New Paper]] comes down and the entire page falls off the top of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoop! Ahh, when it comes to disappointment, you never disappoint.

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end, click on "replace people" to see a field full of King of Town graves, including one for "Onion King of Town".
*At the end, click on the word "downhill" to see a short scene with Homestar Runner and Marzipan.
:''{Open at the Field. Homestar Runner is standing with a can by his feet}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sigh}''
:''{Homestar Runner kicks the can to the right of screen as Marzipan enters}''
:'''MARZIPAN:''' What's the matter, Homestar?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I miss Original Bubs.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, Strong Bad made all that stuff up.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You can't make up eyesight that good. He could always see me ''{sobbing}'' from over there.

==Fun Facts ==
===Explanation===
*The \m/ emoticon is intended to represent the "[[Wikipedia:Corna|rock horns]]".

=== Trivia ===
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#SWOTL|SWOTL]]".

===Remarks===
*Onion Bubs has differently-shaped eyes, like the real Bubs, instead of two identical eyes like Original Bubs, on which it was supposed to be based.
*[[New Paper]]'s "Click here to email Strong Bad" link is fully functional until it falls off the screen.
*The plural of "Bubs" should be "Bubses", as it was in [[Sketchbook_2005#SK-2005-02-27|the Sketchbook for February 27, 2005]].
*Homestar Runner wears [[Strong Sad's iPod|iPod]] headphones when he is dressed as a Canadian Mountie.

===Goofs===
[[Image:neck disconnected - original.png|thumb|[[Disconnected]] again?]]
*On the second punch (when Strong Bad's head pops up) his head is for a very brief moment disconnected, mainly around at the right side of the neck.

===Inside References===
*The clothes Homestar's wearing are from [[Main Page 2]]
*Original Bubs resembles a preliminary sketch of Bubs as seen in the [[Sketchbook (museum)|Sketchbook in the Museum]].
*The "original" Bubs' Concession Stand sign is similar to the design used in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]], [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Where's The Cheat?]].
*Bubs saying that he has no thumbs is a reference to his [[Lack of Visible Arms|lack of visible fingers]].
*The premise of this email, that Bubs is a character in what equates to a TV show, is a [[fourth wall break]].
*Crack Stuntman's line "What can I get for you fine gentlemen?" echoes Bubs' similar line from [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].

===Real-World References===
*This email spoofs the [[Wikipedia:List of television show casting changes#Named forms of casting change|Darrin syndrome]], when an actor in a series is replaced without explanation, a prominent example being the replacement of [[Wikipedia:Dick York|Dick York]] with [[Wikipedia:Dick Sargent|Dick Sargent]] in the role of Darrin Stevens on ''[[Wikipedia:Bewitched|Bewitched]]''. Similarly to in the email, shortly after York left the show but before Sargent took his place, Darrin's character was frequently referred to but was never present on screen.
*The toothpick sculpture is in the shape of the [[Wikipedia:Statue of Liberty|Statue of Liberty]].
*The Music played during Original Bubs's exit is simlar to the music from [[Wikipedia:Crash Twinsanity|Crash Twinsanity]].
*Homestar's black outfit is similar to the sheriff's outfit worn by [[Wikipedia:Frances McDormand|Frances McDormand]] in the movie ''[[imdb:tt0116282|Fargo]]''.
*Homestar asking Senor Cardgage for manilla cheese Coke is a play on the various flavored colas, especially [[Wikipedia:Coca-Cola Vanilla|Vanilla Coke]].
*The first scene involving Original Bubs having its colors inverted while zooming in on Original Bubs is a reference to documentary series such as [[Wikipedia:E! True Hollywood Story|E! True Hollywood Story]], which commonly detail the careers of actors who are currently or previously popular. E! True Hollywood Story in particular is known for focusing on scandals and failures in actors' lives.

===Inside References===
* Homestar wears [[Strong Sad]]'s lederhosen in the toon [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD]], quite possibly the inspiration for this main page.

===Real-World References===
* [[Wikipedia:Ricola|Ricola]] is a brand of cough drops from Switzerland, whose commercials actually used to feature people hollering the brand name from the top of a mountain. While the Alpenhorn held by the yodeler is also a nod to the Ricola commercials, the commercial featured one yodeler to yell the brand name and another to play the horn from atop a hill.

''{A piece of paper displays the title of the toon, written in an Olde English-style font. Cut to a forest. Homestar Runner runs by on a path through the middle of it quickly with Strong Bad not far behind. The camera cuts first to a closeup of Strong Bad, then Homestar. Cutting to a first-person view of Homestar, we can see him cresting a hill with The King of Town's castle below. Cut to the castle itself, where a banner reading "the king of town's 100 MILE SUPERTHON FiNiSH" is displayed, and a crowd featuring Pom Pom, The Poopsmith, The Knight, Marzipan, The Hornblower, Strong Sad, and Strong Mad awaits eagerly. Cut back to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{shouting behind him}'' Hey Strong Bad! I'm about to win this race and you haven't cheated even once! Way to go!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' RAAAAACCCEEEE!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa!

''{Homestar hits the ground and tumbles for a while, finally sliding headfirst into a tree. Cut back to the castle. The King of Town is now among the crowd eating a [[ham]]. Strong Bad runs through the yellow tape of the finish line. The Hornblower blows a tune, and everyone walks away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohhh, come back you guys! It's kind of a big deal here, the first time I've ever beat Homestar Runner! Maybe someone should make a big deal out of it! AWWW, SOMEBODY MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT OF IT!

''{The Cheat arrives, stands next to Strong Bad, and starts waving a pennant and making cheering noises. Strong Bad, in return, angrily kicks The Cheat into the moat. Cut to a black screen.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' Homestar... Homestar, can you hear me? Wake up!

''{Cut to Homestar's head at the base of the tree. He's obviously very out of it}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Huh?

''{Cut back, where we can see Pom Pom, Marzipan, Strong Sad, The KOT, and The Poopsmith surrounding Homestar}''

'''ALL:''' Oh!

''{Cut to a POV shot of Homestar looking at The KOT. His vision is out of focus.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{distant, with reverb}'' Are you okay there Homestar?

''{Cut to Homestar. Homestar shakes his head, then looks at Marzipan, who appears to be now wearing a Princess's tiara and blue dress, though still unfocused}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' What's wrong, Homestar? You're looking at me kind of funny.

''{Cut back to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...Huh?

''{Cut to POV shot of Homestar looking at Pom Pom, who appears now to be dressed as a friar. Pom Pom bubbles. Cut back to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Huh?

''{Cut to POV shot of Homestar looking at Strong Sad and the Poopsmith. Strong Sad appears to be dressed up as a nun.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Are you okay, my child?

''{Cut back to Homestar, who suddenly stands up}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hold! Whilst thy banter is the freshest of any month-old fruit, I must away, you popinjays! I'm off to find me lute! Forsooth!

''{Homestar suddenly runs off toward the KOT's castle, with Pom Pom and Marzipan looking on}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{to Pom Pom}'' What the crap was that?

''{Pom Pom shrugs. Cut to Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat walking through the forest. Strong Bad still looks dejected}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It wasn't supposed to ''be'' like this, man. I don't understand. I mean, they were supposed to get all disappointed and Homestar would cry and you guys would put me on your shoulders and throw the melonade on me and everything.

''{Strong Mad brightens up with a goofy smile, and runs off}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, I mean this is like the defining moment of my life. But if it doesn't matter to THEM—

''{Strong Mad returns with a keg of melonade and slams it down on Strong Bad's back, pinning him beneath it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' AUUUUGGGHHH! You moron! That's not what I meant! Owwww, I think you broke my clavicus... majorus.

''{Homestar Runner suddenly runs by in the background, wearing a bard costume and lute}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' La dee la dee la dadeedadee la da la da la da...

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the crap?

''{Cut to frontal shot of Marzipan (who appears to have no mouth) and Pom Pom walking through the forest. Cut to a clearing where Homestar is prancing about and still singing the same song he was before. Cut to a piece of paper, that text starts appearing on as Mike says it.}''

'''MIKE:''' So then Marzipan likes Homestar 'cause he's all prancy now and everybody else hates him and they keep hitting him on the head really hard trying to get him to change back to normal and finally Marzipan says they're going to get married and that snaps him out of it and... uh... Homestar says she has a big butt. THE END.

*This toon features a hidden creator's commentary. To access it, change your DVD player's audio language selection while watching the toon.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
'''MATT:''' Hi, welcome to, uh, a secret.

'''MIKE:''' You found a secret cartoon!

'''MATT:''' Did you know that you found a secret cartoon?

'''MIKE:''' It's not done. And—

'''MATT:''' Helscome my cartoon. It's not done.

'''MIKE:''' Um, it was made many years ago. 2001, the summer of 2001, so that would account for some of the, um... characters looking a little different than they usually look.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' And showing the King of Town's castle!

'''MATT:''' Yeah, which we don't do so much. You just see the corner—you see the inside.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, you don't see the face and the giant drawbridge

'''MATT:''' It doesn't have that—yeah. Uh, yeah, Home—uh, Strong Bad has a cooler, uh... forehead. Oooh, look at that, that's some... X eyes.

'''MIKE:''' I like this part.

'''MATT:''' Ohhh, that looked rough. Look at that terrible grass on that tree, though—I kinda like those trees. I think you did those trees good.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, the trees were good. I remember that.

'''MATT:''' So this was, uh, my wife Jackie and I, who was not my wife at the time, wrote this cartoon.

'''MIKE:''' I thought you said, "She's not your wife anymore."

'''MATT:''' Who's no longer my wife. No, that's not true. Uhm... yeah we wrote this, uh, cartoon... uh, but, uh, it was never, uh, finished. Why wasn't it finished, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' I—I dunno. You didn't record the voices for the rest of it.

'''MATT:''' So yeah, you can hear, obviously... I was in New York, living in New York at the time, so I went ahead and recorded some scratch dialogue for Marzipan. I sound EXACTLY like Melissa. ''{Mike laughs}'' You can tell. And that's, um...

'''MIKE:''' Friar Tuck.

'''MATT:''' Fat friar. Fat, fat friar. So obviously, the plot is that Homestar gets conked on the head, the first thing he sees is the King and the Poopsmith and the castle, so he thinks he's in some medieval land and thinks he's a... a

'''MIKE:''' A minstrel, a roving minstrel.

'''MATT:''' A roving—we sent out our roving camera. ''{pause}'' Um, ''this'', you'll see, the end of this, there's a joke we later harvested for an email. Um, Strong Mad looks naked without the M on his chest.

'''MIKE:''' True.

'''MATT:''' Oh! You got him, Mike. Crushed him. Listen, listen! ''{pause}'' That's from a later style.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, when he drops the big elbow, deleted an email, an—and it was unused emails.

'''MATT:''' Unused emails. Look, Marzipan doesn't even have a ''mouth'' in that scene. And look, there's minstrel Homestar! There's the explanation for the rest of the cartoon.

'''MIKE:''' I just recorded this, like, five minutes ago.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, you will never know, though, unless you listen to this!

== Fun Facts ==

=== Trivia ===
*This is the only toon where the voice of Marzipan isn't supplied by [[Missy Palmer|Missy]] in a non-[[Powered by The Cheat]] cartoon (it is instead supplied by [[Matt Chapman|Matt]]), so it sounds like [[Strong Sad]].
*This is one of the rare times when we see the King of Town's entire castle.
*This is one of the rare times when we can see Homestar from the front. The other times are in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] and the [[Theme Song Video]].
*Apparently Homestar is [[Left Handedness|left-handed]], from the way he holds the lute.

=== Inside References ===
*The keg of [[Melonade]] is the same as the one from "[[A Jumping Jack Contest]]."
*In the commentary, Matt says "[[Unusual Greetings#Helscome|Helscome]] my cartoon. It's not done," a reference to [[Homestar's Website]], which appeared as an Easter egg in "[[2 years]]."
*This is another instance of [[Kicking The Cheat]].

=== Fast Forward ===
*Strong Bad's quote about breaking his "clavicus majorus" would eventually find its home in "[[unused emails]]."
*Marzipan says "[[crap]]" again in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], only this time she's voiced be [[Missy Palmer]].
*The music used in the beginning is used again in [[colonization]], only this time it's expanded.
*Homestar's crossed eyes will appear again in the Strong Bad Email [[car]].
*The term "fat, fat friar" from the commentary will later be used in [[Thy Dungeonman 3]].

'''[[Wikipedia:Mellow Mushroom|Mellow Mushroom]]''' is a [[The Brothers Chaps' Side Projects|non-Homestar Runner]] related site designed by [[The Brothers Chaps]] in 2001 for a chain of [[pizza]] restaurants headquartered in [[Georgia]]. The layout, navigation, and [[sound effects]] are all similar to those on [[homestarrunner.com]], and the voices of the brothers and [[Missy Palmer]] are very distinctive.

Drive-Thru Whale

[[Image:Whale.PNG|thumb|"Sever your leg, please. It's the greatest day."]]
The '''Drive-Thru Whale''' is a [[Wikipedia:Drive-through|drive-thru]] speaker that is situated in [[The Field]], but does not appear to be attached to a restaurant. Its speaker is very scratchy and difficult to understand. Its speech patterns range from typical drive-thru speaker phrases like "Would you like to try a combo meal?" and seemingly random phrases like "Sever your leg, please. It's the greatest day." The speaker is also able to play a short length of music. It also has a rocket booster underneath it, which allows it to fly up into [[Outer Space]]. It apparently has a taste for [[Europa-pean Lobster]], or perhaps for anything that will sever its leg. It also appeared in the [[Sweet Puttin' Cakes]] Puttiature Golf-Golf Course, so it may or may not be a [[Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]] character.

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD''': Augh. ''{smacks mouth}'' My mouth tastes like...emails.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hey Strong Bad- 
 
Whats up? What is your morning 
routine? 
 
Mike S. 
Gibsonia, Pa</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "routine" as "Ha-routine," and says "Pa" as "P-A"}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' Mike, as you know, the morning routine is the most important routine of the day.

''{cut to Strong Bad sleeping on the couch, mumbling}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{mumbles}''

''{Strong Sad walks up}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Hey Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{mumbles}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Wake up!

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{mumbles}''

'''STRONG SAD''': I wanna watch that show on public broadcasting hosted by that British guy.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{mumbles}'' 

'''STRONG SAD''': You told me not to let you sleep past noon!

'''STRONG BAD''': Super Bomberman...

'''STRONG SAD''': Wake up!

''{Strong Bad gets up from the couch, and we see that one of his hands is inside a bag of Potate brand potato chips. He starts walking off, slouching. He walks up to the computer and sits down.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Augh. ''{smacks mouth}'' My mouth tastes like...emails.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hey Strong Bad- 
 
Whats up? What is your morning 
routine? 
 
Mike S. 
Gibsonia, Pa</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "routine" as "Ha-routine," and says "Pa" as "P-A."}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' Mike, as you know, the morning routine is the most important routine of the day. The "R" in routine stands for r

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{offscreen}'' Hey Strong Bad! ''{Strong Bad turns to see Strong Sad standing there}'' I found this egg in the couch. Is this yours?

'''STRONG BAD''': Yes, it's very fragile. Put it down.

''{Strong Sad puts down the egg and walks off. Strong Bad resumes typing.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' So anyways, Mike, as I was saying, The "R" in routine stands for r

'''STRONG SAD''': Strong Bad, I found what I believe to be a goose egg in the couch.

'''STRONG BAD''': Thank you, Interruptor Jones. That is also my egg. Now put it down.

''{Strong Sad puts it down, and Strong Bad resumes typing again}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' Sorry about that, Mike. So, the "R"

'''STRONG SAD''': Here's a duck egg, a nuthatch egg, ostrich egg, maybe a dinosaur egg, one of those brown eggs...

'''STRONG BAD''': What are you trying to say, Strong Sad? So I got a lotta eggs. And I keep 'em in the couch.

'''STRONG SAD''': There needs to be a better word for "weird".

''{The Cheat runs onscreen with underwear on his head and Strong Mad in pursuit}''

'''STRONG MAD''': MY PANTIES! MY PANTIES!

''{they run off}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Okay. I'm moving out.

''{Strong Sad walks off, Strong Bad resumes typing}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' Fine with me, Strong Sad. I mean Mike. I mean whatever.

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end, you can click on where it says "COMPY 386" to see some of [[Strong Bad's EGGS|Strong Bad's "eggs"]]. The box of Strong Bad's "eggs" has the following phrases on it.
**Strong Bad's EGGS brand type [[Breakfast Cereal|cereal]]
**"nut-hatch" eggs
**"goose" eggs
**"brown" eggs
**"duck" eggs
**A nutritious part of your morning routine.
**side words
**0 mg (listed seven times as the only content of the nutritional table)
**Ingredients: eggs, eggs, eggs, two more eggs

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*[[Potate]] is introduced in this email.
*The [[Couch Mumbling]] gag begins in this email.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#lode runner|lode runner]]".

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad manages to type wearing not only [[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|boxing gloves]], but also the potato chip bag. He may have typed one handed like he did in [[tape leg]], though in that email he typed with just his right hand (for a short while). If he wasn't typing with the potate bag, he must have been using his left hand. It is possible Strong Bad is ambidextrous.
*Strong Sad mentions seven eggs, but finds nine.
*Apparently Strong Bad's [[computer room]] was supposed to be in [[Strong Bad's Basement|the basement]] next to [[the couch]]; this concept seems to have been abandoned (see [[Arcade Game]]).
**It is also possible that Strong Bad may have used the Basement's second exit to reach the computer room.
*When the singers on the TV stop singing, you can hear [[Matt Chapman]] saying, "That's enough, [[Mike Chapman|Mike]]."

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad sits down at the computer to answer his email, the reflection of his face can be seen outside of the monitor on the right side momentarily.
*When Strong Sad is done placing the eggs on the table next to Strong Bad, the text on the Compy looks different. Half of it is not shown, because it is behind Strong Bad's head. (When Strong Bad types it, the "a>" is gone, and the word first paragraph is spaced differently; the second "routine" and the word "stands" are on the previous lines, there's no underscore after the lowercase "r", "rountine" is spelled correctly, and there's a period and the word "So" after the last "Mike".)

<blockquote class="compy email">
Mike, as you know, the morning 
routine is the most important 
routine of the day. The "R" in routine 
stands for r_ 
So anyways, Mike, as I was saying, 
The "R" in rountine stands for r 
Sorry about that, Mike, the "R"</blockquote>

*The [[Wikipedia:ostrich|ostrich]] egg should be much larger in relation to the others, as the ostrich lays the largest eggs of any living bird species. It should also be white.
*The "nut-hatch" egg should be written as "[[wikipedia:Nuthatch|nuthatch]]," without the hyphen.
*When Strong Bad is talking to Strong Sad for the last time, the left side of the monitor appears to be slightly jagged.

===Inside References===
*This email makes numerous references to [[Eggs]].

===Real-World References===
*''[[Wikipedia:Bomberman|Super Bomberman]]'' is a game for the [[Nintendo#Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)|SNES]] from the early '90s.
*The tune playing on the [[Telebision|TV set]] while Strong Bad is waking up is the theme song from ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0124265/ Voyage of the Mimi]'', an educational TV show from the 1980s featuring [[Wikipedia:Ben Affleck|Ben Affleck]]. This is probably what Strong Sad wanted to watch.
*Interruptor Jones is a play on [[Wikipedia:Indiana Jones|Indiana Jones]], the main character of a popular trilogy of adventure films.

===Fast Forward===
*Strong Bad's line at the beginning, "My mouth tastes like...emails," is later reused during the CGI sequence on the first disc of the [[strongbad_email.exe|Strong Bad Email DVD]], but instead, says, "My mouth tastes like... DVDs."
*The phrase "the R in routine" is used later in [[Authorless Books|a book title]] in the email [[rampage|rampage]].
*Strong Mad chases The Cheat again in a [[rampage#Easter_Eggs|rampage Easter egg]].
*Strong Bad sells the eggs for $54 in [[garage sale]] which also happens to be the number of this email.
*The term "Two more eggs" (which is in the ingredients on the Easter Egg cereal box) is on a post-it on a fridge later in [[pop-up]].
*Strong Bad says "My mouth tastes like backwards" in [[mini-golf]].

Poorly Written Emails

Joshcalvin: /* List of Poorly Written E-mails */

{{cleanup}}

[[Image:Lackofpunction_winner_sbemail.png|250px|thumb|"Well, let's just see here... Zero capitalization... Misspelling... Lack of punctuation... Looks like a winner to me!"]]
[[Strong Bad]] regularly receives '''[[Strong Bad Email|emails]] with poor grammar and spelling''', which he rarely hesitates to point out. He even released an entertaining/informational CD on the subject in an Easter egg in [[local news]] called "[[local_news#Easter_Eggs|Strong Bad's Rhythm 'n' Grammar]]."

While many emails do contain these sort of errors, this list only contains errors that are either famous in their own right or have affected how Strong Bad read the email.

In contrast to the many criticisms of poor spelling and grammar, Strong Bad often receives [[List of emails that meet Strong Bad's approval|emails that meet his approval]].

{{sitelanguagenotice}}
Strong Bad, Homestar, Strong Mad, The Cheat and Marzipan appear as grotesque caricatures in [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/flash-tub/tub-bites-vol.php Tub Bites vol. 2.]. The computer used in the toon appears to be a parody of the [[Compy 386]]. The first email is "[[DELETED|Recycle Binned!]]". Homestar returns Strong Bad's ''[[Wikipedia:Tag Team Wrestling|Tag Team Wrestling]]'' game, as well as some of his "[[Crap|crappy]] catchphrases" (the one used as an example is "[[Crap#Holy Crap! and Other Exclamations|holy crap!]]"). Also, this is reprised with an obvious parody of a "[[How do you type with boxing gloves on?]]"-style Strong Bad e-mail in [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/flash-tub/karnov-playset-2.php?page=5 Karnov Bites].
*The Easter egg in Tub Bites 2 is a parody of [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]], featuring calls from parodies of Strong Bad, the King of Town, Homsar, Coach Z and Strong Sad.

The update of March 1, 2007, [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/movie-reviews/steve-movie-blog.php Steve's Movie Review Blog], contains reference to the [[Strong Bad Email]]s.

Rejected Characters

2007-07-31T17:21:43Z

Joshcalvin: /* The Hurricane */

As with all famous cartoon character ensembles, [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] went through its fair share of line-up changes early on, before the final group of twelve main characters were chosen. The '''rejected characters''' are those who seem to have been abandoned, with very few sightings to date. Some appeared in an early toon or game, while others are only seen in the [[Sketchbook (museum)|Museum Sketchbook]] or the [[Character Cards]]. All that is known about them for sure is that they won't be around much anymore.

|[[Image:hswin.PNG|150px]] ||
===== Homeschool Winner =====
The mysterious character of Homeschool Winner came about when a friend of [[the Brothers Chaps]] was unable to recall [[Homestar Runner]]'s name. In the [[Club Aquatica Interview - 29 Oct 2003|Club Aquatica interview]], [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] recalls that his friend said: "What's your website, HomeschoolWinner.com?" Homeschool is described as "a big nerd, with maybe a creepy edge to him." As revealed in [[Why Come Only One Girl?]] on the [[Everything Else, Volume 2|Everything Else, Volume 2 DVD]], he is very smart, winning a "Quiz Bowl" easily and earning a giant #1 trophy.

The character seems to have been aborted, with few sightings to date. He first appeared and was named on the [[Character Cards]], which are now on a [[secret page]]. He then made a cameo in one of the backgrounds of [[Dancin' Bubs]]. Humorously mentioned in the [[Sample of Style]] video on the [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]], [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] breaks the tube Matt uses to "make" [[Bubs]]' voice, and Matt says: "Great. Now we have to kill off Bubs. Just like Homeschool Winner."

=====The Unguraits=====
The Unguraits are small bandit-like characters. Their only appearance was in the [[Character Cards]], along with Homeschool Winner (seen above). The Brothers Chaps had apparently considered using them as the forces of [[Blue Laser]] in [[Cheat Commandos]] toons, but this idea appears to have been dumped.
|-
|[[Image:Unnamed_Girl.PNG|150px]] ||

=====Champeen=====
Champeen appears in the background of the [[Dancin' Bubs|Dancin' Bubs Game]]. In the [[Club Aquatica Interview - 29 Oct 2003|Club Aquatica Interview]], the interviewer refers to her as Strong Glad, but Matt Chapman never agreed that that would be the character's name. Strong Glad is really a sketch of [[Strong Sad]] with long, girly legs, seen in the [[Sketchbook (museum)|Museum Sketchbook]]. After going unidentified for years, the girl was identified as Champeen in [[Why Come Only One Girl?]], and was intended to be the female equivalent of Homestar Runner.
|-
|[[Image:Sketchbook Nine.PNG|150px]] ||

===== Dijjery-Doo =====
Dijjery-Doo is a character that was abandoned in the design phase because it was too "[[The Cheat|Cheat]]-like" and "walrus-like". It is only seen in the [[Sketchbook (museum)|Museum Sketchbook]]. Its name comes from the [[Wikipedia:Didgeridoo|didgeridoo]], a traditional Australian [[Wikipedia:Aborigine|Aboriginal]] instrument. The upper right sketch also resembles the [[Multi Function Dragon]].

[[Image:trivia time jar.PNG|150px]]
||

=====Trivia Time=====
Trivia Time was going to be [[Pom Pom]]'s dog. Although there are some concept sketches in the [[Sketchbook (museum)|Museum Sketchbook]], he's never appeared directly in a Homestar cartoon because the Brothers Chaps couldn't make a good design. A cookie jar with his likeness is in a few toons, and in [[Homestarloween Party]] one of the [[Pom Pom's girls|girls]]' dog "Chris" looks a lot like Trivia Time. A reference to Trivia Time is made in [[Pom Pom, Too]]: a bowl with the words "Trivia Time" falls from the sky and the words "[Pom-Pom] feeds his Dog... everyday," above and below it.

'''Trivia Time Appearances:'''
* '''Debut:''' [[Pom Pom, Too]]
* [[Sketchbook (museum)]] - Several sketches shown.
* [[Homestar Quiz]] - An early version of the quiz had Trivia Time as an answer.

'''Cookie Jar Appearances:'''
*'''Debut:''' [[Where's The Cheat?]]
*Email [[army]] (Easter egg)
*[[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]]
*[[Halloween Fairstival]]
*Email [[radio]]
*Email [[part-time job]] (corner only shown)
*Email [[narrator]] (somewhat obscured)
*[[Kid Speedy]] (Homestar's ending)

=====Preshy and Rafferdy=====
Preshy (right) and Rafferdy (left), were [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]]'s cousins, as shown in [[Why Come Only One Girl?]]. They had been set to appear in the unfinished cartoon "Those Darn Cousins," which was evidently being made around the year 2000. They appear to enjoy torturing "Uncle Homestar", as they call him. According to the [[Why Come Only One Girl#Easter Eggs|DVD commentary]], the cartoon would involve Homestar trying to convince everyone else that his cousins were trying to kill him, as they were nice to Homestar when others were around. Preshy and Rafferdy were voiced by [[The Brothers Chaps]]' niece and nephew.

=====The Hurricane=====
The Hurricane was an early attempt to introduce a new female character, as shown in [[Why Come Only One Girl?]]. She was chosen as the design of a new female after many scrapped ideas, being described as a "corn-dog-cotton-candy-looking lady". She actually made it into [[Macromedia Flash|Flash]] and was prepped for animation, but according to [[The Brothers Chaps]], the [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda (series)|Legend of Zelda]] game ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|Wind Waker]]'' came out, and the idea was scrapped possibly to avoid copyright infringement.
