Gunhaver

2009-06-13T20:27:41Z

Lucentas: Reynold's brother's apathetic teenage monotone can hardly be described as a "yell", no matter the contents of his dialogue.

[[Image:Gunhaver.PNG|thumb|220px|Gunhaver on patrol]]

'''Charles Gunhaver''' is the erstwhile leader of the [[Cheat Commandos]]. Among his mission credits are leading an action figure storage vehicle attack on [[Blue Laser]], leading a search party to uncover Blue Laser's [[secret desert headquarters]], and staving off the danger of Blue Laser saving money at [[Price Style]]. Certain parts of the cartoon [[Let us give TANKS!]] strongly suggest that the rest of the Cheat Commandos regard Gunhaver as possibly ''too'' enthusiastic about his duties. He makes a cameo in an Easter egg in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]]. A [[running gag]] surrounding him is people will usually [[Gunhaver's Name|flub his name]].

As his name (pronounced as "Gun Havver") and a claim on his box each suggest, Gunhaver has a [[Gunhaver's Gun|semi-automatic pistol]]. The gun was seen hanging on the wall and labeled by [[Reynold]] in [[Shopping for Danger]]. Gunhaver was actually shown brandishing it (to the astonishment of [[Blue Laser Commander]]) in "Let us give TANKS!". He relinquishes it to [[Flashfight]] in [[2 Part Episode: Part 1]].

Gunhaver is voiced by [[Crack Stuntman]], who has difficulty remembering his character's name, calling him such names as "Gun-hay-ver" and "the gun-shaver". According to [[The Next Epi-Snowed]], Crack Stuntman often attempts to change his character's lines and introduce odd and self-serving turns into the story. For example, Gunhaver's (and the Cheat Commandos') [[catch phrase]] is "[[Rock rock on!]]", but in [[An Important Rap Song]], Gunhaver says it is now "Riggidy roll!".

After growing tired of Stuntman's demands, [[A. Chimendez]] sent Gunhaver on "a secret mission to the moon for an undisclosed period of time" and "when he gets back his voice might have changed". Crack was given his job back in [[Pistols for Pandas]], however.

Gunhaver was the leader of the Cheat Commandos until he was relieved of his command by [[Flashfight]] in [[2 Part Episode: Part 1]]. He then went to work for Jaded Teen Pizza with [[Silent Rip]] and [[Crackotage]] under the management of [[Reynold's brother]], but the three quit and went to run their own restaurant, [[Kitchen Commandos]], which closed after three months.

Gunhaver's first name was revealed by Blue Laser commander in "Let us give TANKS!" after he asked Gunhaver to play a song. It wasn't used again until Reynold's brother reprimanded him in "2 Part Episode: Part 1".

Gunhaver is a direct parody of [[Wikipedia:Duke (G.I. Joe)|Duke]] from GI Joe, complete with a [[Wikipedia:John Payne (voice actor)|John Payne]] voice.

Gunhaver is one of the Cheat Commandos featured in the first Cheat Commandos [[Store Toys|figurine set]].

<blockquote>... every good road trip needs a good inside joke that only the people that went on the road trip will get. And your friends that didn't go on the road trip will want to...kill your...legs...every time you bring it up. ''[[Strong Bad]], [[road trip]]''</blockquote>

An '''[[Wikipedia:In-joke|inside joke]]''' is something that is only found on the site in two or three places, and is obscure in most or all instances. Something that has been featured more than three times usually becomes a regular feature of the site. For instance: [[Trogdor]], [[fhqwhgads]], and even the main character [[Homsar]] are no longer inside jokes, even though they started out that way.

These are the things that people who are new to the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work would simply not get at all. In fact, some of those who have seen most of the cartoons may not have fully picked up on them.

The inside jokes usually come from [[Strong Bad Email]]s.

Fightgar

2009-06-13T19:55:35Z

Lucentas: Cleaning up...is the first line he's ever spoken really so noteworthy? (Oh, and being less-clothed in a hot environment actually makes things worse.)

[[Image:Fightgar.PNG|thumb|140px|Fightgar: needs to shave, desperately.]]

'''Fightgar''' is one of the [[Cheat Commandos]]. He has the appearance of [[Wikipedia:Rambo|John Rambo]].

As far as rank goes, he appears to be a grunt fighter. He has a badly imitated rough Australian accent, and enjoys making fun of [[Reynold]]. In [[Shopping for Danger]], Fightgar assumes the role as spy, disguising himself as an old lady to report on [[Blue Laser]] inside the [[Price Style]]. Based on his tendency to change hands while firing a laser gun, as seen in [[Cheat Commandos (toon)|Cheat Commandos]], it is possible Fightgar is [[Left Handedness|ambidextrous]]. Fightgar supports [[Wikipedia:Manchester United|Manchester United]], and enjoys saying "Right right right right."

Fightgar appears to be the most action-oriented of the Cheat Commandos, perhaps only second to [[Gunhaver]] himself. He always carries several rounds of ammo with him, as well as his "bullet-shooting gun". When [[Flashfight|Admiral Flashfight]] took over for Gunhaver in the [[2 Part Episode: Part 1|2 Part Episode]], Fightgar became aggravated, claiming that Flashfight's pre-planning method and less-than-dangerous mission choice was "no fun". Additionally, [[Pony Fights 2|Pony Fights]] is one of Fightgar's favorite movie franchises.

He also made cameos in Easter Eggs in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]] and [[virus]] where he fought the evil forces of Blue Laser with [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]]'s leg.

Fightgar is one of the Cheat Commandos featured in the first Cheat Commandos [[Store Toys|figurine set]].

'''Running Time:''' 3:09

'''Page title:''' Arturo 9000!

==Transcript==
''{Homestar is in silhouette, sitting at his desk.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Give it the gas, people! It's the breakout album of the year, Homestar Runner!

''{Homestar Runner's Theme Song plays as the scene lights up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, shadow self! We'll do battle later. Today's missile ''{produces a paper}'' comes from Josh Key in Corvallis, Oregon! ''{reads in a nervous high-pitched voice:}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background:#FFF;color:#000">
Dear Homestar. 
 
How long should a person keep 
a pair of shoes? I have this one 
pair that has been around for 
years, but they're falling apart 
pretty badly now. My girlfriend 
thinks that I should get rid of 
them. So what do I do? Repair 
or replace? 
 
Urgently waiting for your advice, 
Josh
</blockquote>

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now you see those three little words?

''{He holds up the paper to the audience, and the camera zooms in on it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' "My girlfriend thinks"?

''{As he says each word, the appropriate word is highlighted, with a different sound effect for each. Cut back to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's your problem right there! ''{puts down the paper}'' I got one o' them, too. ''{Gets up and walks toward the Arturo.}'' The lad-ays just don't understand that it can take a man's shoes five to several years to finally get that sought-after walkin'-around-with-someone-else's-slightly-larger-foot-pelts-on-your-feet feeling! Stuff like holes, duct tape, and rank odor are—

''{Zoom in on the Arturo. A picture of a man's head appears.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{from offscreen}'' —just the shoe equivalent of graying hair—

''{The hair of the man in the picture grays a little.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —buying a blue Miata—

''{A convertible appears under the head; the head is big enough to fill the both of the front seats.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' — and dating your graduate assistant!

''{A woman appears beside the head, proportioned correctly for the car. The head winks with a "ding" sound effect. Cut back to Homestar, sitting back down at the desk.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now first of all, Josh, let's find out how old your shoes ''really'' are. And by that I mean—

''{Cut to the image of a very battered-looking shoe with "STREISAND" scrawled onto the side. Green clouds are seen behind it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' —how many office supplies you got holdin' 'em together.

''{Rubber bands appear wrapped around the shoe.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Rubber bands for laces?

''{Paperclips appear on the shoe.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Paperclips keeping the tongue from falling apart?

''{Two binder clips appear.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' These little things doing... ''{The clips grab parts of the shoes as Homestar hesitates.}'' their... little thing? Why do I wanna call these—

''{Cut back to Homestar. He's holding up a binder clip.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —"cow clips"? ''{turns around}'' Does anyone else call these "cow clips"? No? ''{He holds the clip up to the camera and and opens it. As though providing the sound for the clip:}'' Moooo! Moooooo! ''{puts the clip down}'' If your kicks are old enough, as my pair of—

''{Cut to a stylized closeup of Homestar's feet. Black hairs are visible on Homestar's legs. His left shoe has some green slime coming out from the sole, is torn and stained, and has multiple oddly-colored bumps on it. His right shoe's sole is coming unraveled.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —Freshley's Trackfaster Pro Squadrons ''{a logo for this brand appears}'' certainly are—

''{Cut back to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —then you can usually distract a few more months outta your girlfriend with...

''{Cut to a stage over two blue lumps.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' A puppet show!

''{The camera pans back, revealing that the stage is very small and the blue lumps are part of Marzipan's couch. Marzipan is sitting on it, looking cross. One of Homestar's feet comes up over the sofa; his foot has googly-eyes attached to it and some fake "hair" that resembles blonde pigtails. It "speaks" by having its sole partially disconnect from the rest of the shoe.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{as the shoe-puppet}'' Tra-la-la! I'm a lonely Swiss miss lost in a chanted forest!

''{Another leg appears. This one also has googly eyes, but a small purple wizard cap and drawn-on eyebrows and a mustache.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{as the second shoe-puppet}'' Yes! And now you will toil away in my ''toil''-et mines! While I get all the kickbacks! ''{as the first puppet}'' Oh no! Who will save me?

''{A third leg appears. This one has the googly eyes on the sole, rather than the foot, and has a blonde "wig" on it. Marzipan sits up, startled.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{as the third puppet}'' I'll save you!

''{Marzipan gasps loudly. The screen dims as the camera zooms in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And when your puppet show gets canceled after three seasons...

''{Cut to a closeup of Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{angrily}'' You mean the whole last season was a ''dream?!'' Gimme a break! They shoulda just had babies, and then the babies shoulda gotten married.

''{Cut to Homestar at his desk.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...then it's time to start wearin' giant socks ''{holds up a giant sock}'' over your old shoes with even bigger shoes ''{holds up a shoe that resembles his own, but larger, and has "SIZE 18" written in it}'' on top of 'em! And since you got one o' them ''thinking''-type girlfriends, I say throw another sock-shoe ''{holds up an even bigger sock and a "SIZE STRONG MAD" shoe}'' layer on top, just to be safe. ''{moves the socks and shoes to the sides and looks between them}'' And at this point, if nothin' else, you'll probably make a pretty good power-forward. So go ahead and post up. I'll be there to hit you in the paint.

''{Cut to the gym; Homestar is wearing enormous socks and basketball shoes. Marzipan is with him, and there is a basketball on the ground between them. Homestar steps back and forth.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hoo! Heh! Hoo! ''{holds up his left foot, as if kicking Marzipan}'' Hoo-yah! ''{drops his foot}'' Hoo! ''{turns around}'' Hup! ''{turns back}'' Come on, Stockton! I'd like to see you break through this impenetrable wall of defense!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, you said there was gonna be a dance here tonight!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's right: the ancient art of watch-my-baskeeball dance!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Uh... I think it's bas-''KET''-ball.

''{A whistle is heard. Homestar's third leg-puppet, with an ankle-band that looks like a sports referee's shirt, leans in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{as the puppet}'' Technical foul! Art Stockton! First down!

''{Cut to a closeup of the Arturo. The picture of the head in the car with the woman appears. "email homestar runner at DJmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com" appears on the screen. The head winks with the same "ding!" sound effect.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on the woman to see a scene with Strong Bad in the Field.
:''{Strong Bad is wearing shoes that look like [[Soolnds|Strong Sad's feet]].}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah... ''that's'' the feeling I've been looking for! Come on, foot-pelts!
*At the end, click on the car's front tire to see Homestar doing battle with his shadow.
:''{Homestar is looking at "Shadow Homestar." There are health bars at the top of the screen labeled "HOMESTAR RUNNER" and "SHADOW HOMESTAR".}''
:'''ANNOUNCER:''' Round one! FIGHT! ''{"FIGHT!" appears in the middle of the screen.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aw, man! ''Shadow'' Homestar?! ''{sarcastically}'' "Hey, I've got a great idea! Let's dip the main character in a vat of ink and make you fight ''him'' before you get to the end boss!"
:''{Shadow Homestar suddenly leaps forward and kicks regular Homestar repeatedly, knocking his health to zero. Homestar collapses on the ground.}''
:'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{quietly}'' Heh heh... geez. Sorry to laugh, that was just... rough. Ouch! ''{"OUCH!" appears in the middle of the screen.}''

== Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*Hitting someone "in the paint" is a basketball term for someone inside the borders of the free throw area.
*Babies and weddings are often cited as signs that a television series has [[Wikipedia:Jumping the shark|jumped the shark]].
*Additionally, Marzipan's remark that the entire last season was just a dream refers to a gimmick employed by several prime-time television series in which such a revelation is made, usually in the last episode of the season in question.

===Remarks===
*When Homestar is reading the letter initially, "My girlfriend thinks" is split over two lines, but in the close-up, it is all on the same line.
*Homestar holds up four items (two socks and two shoes) individually. This would mean that, if he had [[invisible arms]], he would need to have four to hold all these items.

===Inside References===
*Homestar is wearing [[Freshley's]]
*In the gym, Homestar is wearing Air Cardgages, first seen in [[diorama]].
*Homestar's shoe puppets feature [[googly-eyed objects|googly-eyes]].
*Homestar previously fought himself in [[strong badathlon]].
*Strong Bad's walk in the Easter egg echoes how he walks when he leaves Club Technochocolate wearing the [['Lectric Boots]] in [[extra plug]].

===Real-World References===
*Homestar calling Marzipan "Stockton" likely refers to [[Wikipedia:John Stockton|John Stockton]].
*The gruff announcer in the Homestar vs. Shadow Homestar Easter egg says "Round 1, FIGHT!" in a voice very similar to the announcer in [[Mortal Kombat]]. His laugh is also reminiscent of the sound effects in the series.
** The music that plays during this scene is similar to the beat of [[Wikipedia:Ryu (Street Fighter)|Ryu's]] theme from [[Street Fighter II]].

== Multiples again? ==
It should probably be noted that this is another instance of [[duplicate characters]], both with the 3rd Homestar leg (which is obviously not part of homestar when he's shown on the basketball court) and possibly also because of the Shadow Homestar. [[Special:Contributions/72.70.158.239|72.70.158.239]] 13:56, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
:'''Agree'''. Yeah we should probably note the third leg.-{{User:Record307/sig}} 14:10, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
::Done.-{{User:Record307/sig}} 19:23, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

== Shadow Homestar ==
Isn't this a reference to "Shadow Link" in the Legend of Zelda games? We all know TBC are big fans, so possibilities?
--[[User:Lustmyeyes|lustmyeyes <3]] 10:41, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
:I think lots of video game characters have "shadow" or "dark" versions of themselves, it's quite common, from what I can tell. --[[User:That crazy DumDe!|DumDe]] 16:10, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
::I wish, but the easter egg seems to be referencing the [[Street Fighter]] series. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 16:20, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
:::Mortal Kombat as well. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:23, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

==Dipped in ink==
Could the claim in the Easter egg that Shadow Homestar was "dipped in a vat of ink" be a reference to the ending montage of [[dangeresque 3]], where the silhouette of [[Killingyouguy]] was shown to be made by painting Strong Mad in black? It's what came first to my mind, anyway... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 09:22, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
:Mine too.-{{User:Record307/sig}} 14:11, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
:: Oh most definitely. Should there be a page for shadow Homestar, or at least a part of the chacter variation page for hime? He seems like a pretty important duplicate.--[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 21:11, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
==Homestar's Arms==
I'm no master at editing wikis, so I think I'll just mention it here. There should probably be something about how Homestar holds a big sock, then a big shoe, then a bigger sock, and then a bigger shoe, more than someone could hold with two hands (as he lifts them up seperately, and they don't move afterwards).
:There is a place to do that. I'll try to find it for consistancy. -{{User:Opus the Penguin/sig}} 17:39, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
::Try going [[invisible arms|here]]. I also added a remark on the article. -{{User:Opus the Penguin/sig}} 17:51, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
:::Okay, does anyone else think the Chaps are doing this on purpose now? I notice the whole "doing-things-that-would-require-more-than-two-arms" controversy has seemed to heighten somewhat on this wiki lately, so are they just adding fuel to the fire? Do they ''enjoy'' making those who try to find at least some level of vague sense-make in the cartoon squirm uncomfortably in their seats? (Not that I'm one of those people, I'm just sayin'. It's a weird co-weenky-dink.) [[User:Lucentas|Lucentas]] 21:04, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

==The Sopranos?==
When marzipan says that "the whole last season was just a dream", could this be a reference to the infamous ending of the Sopranos Tv series?
:This is the fourth suggestion so far as to what show it's referring to. I think that pretty much makes it something that can't be pinned to any one thing. The other three are Roseanne, Dallas, and Newhart, as seen when i removed them [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Hremail_2000&diff=627207&oldid=627205&rcid=586009 here]. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:44, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

== Dream ==

There's a big controversy on how to include a remark about how "the entire last season was a dream." Why not just add a non-specific reference like; "Several prime-time shows have revealed in the season's last episode that the entire season had merely been a dream."? I'm not good at writing these things though, but i'm sure someone could make it sound very good and succinct. -{{User:Opus the Penguin/sig}} 21:01, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
:I'll take a shot at it. [[User:Lucentas|Lucentas]] 21:08, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Why hasn't anyone else thought of this? Nice idea. -Nonuser mster24
:Okay, it's up. Wasn't sure whether to put it in Explanations or Real-World References, but if I've erred someone can move it. I tried to word it as succinctly as I could, but of course if someone can reword it better, go for it. [[User:Lucentas|Lucentas]] 21:13, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

== Homestar's Shoes? ==

Think it should be noted somewheres that Homestar's feet/shoes act like (and are referred to as) shoes in this toon? As far as I know, there's been a dispute over whether Homestar wears shoes or not, and this, especially the puppet show, could possibly confirm that he does.-Nonuser mster24
:Or that he doesn't. Note the fact that in that one closeup, his supposed "shoes" have those gnarly wart-looking things and his leg region is shown to have hair, despite the fact that there's no clear boundary between his "shoes/feet" and his legs. Just another wrench in the works-of-clearing-up-ambiguity is my guess. [[User:Lucentas|Lucentas]] 21:08, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
::Either way, we include references to his shoes on [[Homestar Runner's Pants]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:12, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

''{Another leg appears. This one also has googly eyes, but a small purple wizard cap and drawn-on eyebrows and a mustache.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{as the second shoe-puppet}'' Yes! And now you will toil away in my ''toil''-et mines! While I get all the kickbacks! ''{as the first puppet}'' Oh no! Who will save me?

''{A third leg appears. This one has the googly eyes on the sole, rather than the foot, and has a blonde "wig" on it. Marzipan sits up, startled.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{as the third puppet}'' I'll save you!

''{Marzipan gasps loudly. The screen dims as the camera zooms in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And when your puppet show gets canceled after three seasons...

''{Cut to a closeup of Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{angrily}'' You mean the whole last season was a ''dream?!'' Gimme a break! They shoulda just had babies, and then the babies shoulda gotten married.

''{Cut to Homestar at his desk.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...then it's time to start wearin' giant socks ''{holds up a giant sock}'' over your old shoes with even bigger shoes ''{holds up a shoe that resembles his own, but larger, and has "SIZE 18" written in it}'' on top of 'em! And since you got one o' them ''thinking''-type girlfriends, I say throw another sock-shoe ''{holds up an even bigger sock and a "SIZE STRONG MAD" shoe}'' layer on top, just to be safe. ''{moves the socks and shoes to the sides and looks between them}'' And at this point, if nothin' else, you'll probably make a pretty good power-forward. So go ahead and post up. I'll be there to hit you in the paint.

''{Cut to the gym; Homestar is wearing enormous socks and basketball shoes. Marzipan is with him, and there is a basketball on the ground between them. Homestar steps back and forth.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hoo! Heh! Hoo! ''{holds up his left foot, as if kicking Marzipan}'' Hoo-yah! ''{drops his foot}'' Hoo! ''{turns around}'' Hup! ''{turns back}'' Come on, Stockton! I'd like to see you break through this impenetrable wall of defense!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, you said there was gonna be a dance here tonight!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's right: the ancient art of watch-my-baskeeball dance!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Uh... I think it's bas-''KET''-ball.

''{A whistle is heard. Homestar's third leg-puppet, with an ankle-band that looks like a sports referee's shirt, leans in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{as the puppet}'' Technical foul! Art Stockton! First down!

''{Cut to a closeup of the Arturo. The picture of the head in the car with the woman appears. "email homestar runner at DJmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com" appears on the screen. The head winks with the same "ding!" sound effect.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on the woman to see a scene with Strong Bad in the Field.
:''{Strong Bad is wearing shoes that look like [[Soolnds|Strong Sad's feet]].}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah... ''that's'' the feeling I've been looking for! Come on, foot-pelts!
*At the end, click on the car's front tire to see Homestar doing battle with his shadow.
:''{Homestar is looking at "Shadow Homestar." There are health bars at the top of the screen labeled "HOMESTAR RUNNER" and "SHADOW HOMESTAR".}''
:'''ANNOUNCER:''' Round one! FIGHT! ''{"FIGHT!" appears in the middle of the screen.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aw, man! ''Shadow'' Homestar?! ''{sarcastically}'' "Hey, I've got a great idea! Let's dip the main character in a vat of ink and make you fight ''him'' before you get to the end boss!"
:''{Shadow Homestar suddenly leaps forward and kicks regular Homestar repeatedly, knocking his health to zero. Homestar collapses on the ground.}''
:'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{quietly}'' Heh heh... geez. Sorry to laugh, that was just... rough. Ouch! ''{"OUCH!" appears in the middle of the screen.}''

== Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*Hitting someone "in the paint" is a basketball term for someone inside the borders of the free throw area.
*Babies and weddings are often cited as signs that a television series has [[Wikipedia:Jumping the shark|jumped the shark]].
*Additionally, Marzipan's remark that the entire last season was just a dream refers to a gimmick employed by several prime-time television series in which such a revelation is made.

===Remarks===
*When Homestar is reading the letter initially, "My girlfriend thinks" is split over two lines, but in the close-up, it is all on the same line.
*Homestar holds up four items (two socks and two shoes) individually. This would mean that, if he had [[invisible arms]], he would need to have four to hold all these items.

===Inside References===
*Homestar is wearing [[Freshley's]]
*In the gym, Homestar is wearing Air Cardgages, first seen in [[diorama]].
*Homestar's shoe puppets feature [[googly-eyed objects|googly-eyes]].
*Homestar previously fought himself in [[strong badathlon]].
*Strong Bad's walk in the Easter egg echoes how he walks when he leaves Club Technochocolate wearing the [['Lectric Boots]] in [[extra plug]].

===Real-World References===
*Homestar calling Marzipan "Stockton" likely refers to [[Wikipedia:John Stockton|John Stockton]].
*The gruff announcer in the Homestar vs. Shadow Homestar Easter egg says "Round 1, FIGHT!" in a voice very similar to the announcer in [[Mortal Kombat]]. His laugh is also reminiscent of the sound effects in the series.
** The music that plays during this scene is similar to the beat of [[Wikipedia:Ryu (Street Fighter)|Ryu's]] theme from [[Street Fighter II]].

== Multiples again? ==
It should probably be noted that this is another instance of [[duplicate characters]], both with the 3rd Homestar leg (which is obviously not part of homestar when he's shown on the basketball court) and possibly also because of the Shadow Homestar.

==Dipped in ink==
Could the claim in the Easter egg that Shadow Homestar was "dipped in a vat of ink" be a reference to the ending montage of [[dangeresque 3]], where the silhouette of [[Killingyouguy]] was shown to be made by painting Strong Mad in black?

==Homestar's Arms==
I'm no master at editing wikis, so I think I'll just mention it here. There should probably be something about how Homestar holds a big sock, then a big shoe, then a bigger sock, and then a bigger shoe, more than someone could hold with two hands (as he lifts them up seperately, and they don't move afterwards).

When marzipan says that "the whole last season was just a dream", could this be a reference to the infamous ending of the Sopranos Tv series?
:This is the fourth suggestion so far as to what show it's referring to. I think that pretty much makes it something that can't be pinned to any one thing.

== Dream ==

There's a big controversy on how to include a remark about how "the entire last season was a dream." Why not just add a non-specific reference like; "Several prime-time shows have revealed in the season's last episode that the entire season had merely been a dream."? I'm not good at writing these things though, but i'm sure someone could make it sound very good and succinct. -{{User:Opus the Penguin/sig}} 21:01, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Why hasn't anyone else thought of this? Nice idea. -Nonuser mster24

== Homestar's Shoes? ==

Think it should be noted somewheres that Homestar's feet/shoes act like (and are referred to as) shoes in this toon? As far as I know, there's been a dispute over whether Homestar wears shoes or not, and this, especially the puppet show, could possibly confirm that he does.-Nonuser mster24
:Or that he doesn't. Note the fact that in that one closeup, his supposed "shoes" have those gnarly wart-looking things and his leg region is shown to have hair, despite the fact that there's no clear boundary between his "shoes/feet" and his legs. Just another wrench in the works-of-clearing-up-ambiguity is my guess. [[User:Lucentas|Lucentas]] 21:08, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

== Transcript ==
''{The setting: "www.homestarrunner.com is coming soon! This domain is reserved through thoraxcorp.com". An animated stick figure in a yellow "Under Construction" diamond shovels diligently. After about ten seconds, a pair of shiny boxing gloves appear at the bottom of the screen...}

'''STINKOMAN:''' Habila-HUP!

''{...and Stinkoman leaps into the air, executing a dramatic pose before landing.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{to stick figure}'' Hey, Sticklyman, ''{waves his arms quickly}'' ''whaaaaat'' are you doing?

''{"Sticklyman" stands up, tosses his shovel into the air, leaps out of his diamond, performs a mid-air flip, lands, deftly catches his shovel and assumes a fighting stance.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Correct me if I'm wrong but are you asking for a ''challeeeeeeenge?!'' ''{assumes fighting stance}''

''{Camera zooms in on Sticklyman, who spins his shovel. The shot freezes in a sketchy style with a high-pitched chime sound. Pan quickly to a close-up of Stinkoman, who executes another fighting pose, then the shot sketch-freezes again. Cut back to Sticklyman's feet, showing him running toward Stinkoman. Cut to Stinkoman's feet, running toward Sticklyman. Cut to a close-up of Sticklyman, who now appears to be getting ready to strike. Cut to Stinkoman continuing to run, then jumping up. Cut to a wider shot showing both characters jumping into each other. They hover in mid-air for a moment, then strike each other. Sketch-freeze as they collide, then the shot unfreezes and the two characters fall back to the ground. Cut to another shot. Sticklyman lands in the background, followed quickly by Stinkoman landing in a kneeling position in the foreground. The camera rack-focuses to Sticklyman, who drops his shovel, wobbles for a moment and then falls over. Cut to a close-up of Stinkoman.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{a subtitle reading ". . ." appears}'' Dot dot dot!

''{Zoom out to whole page.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Twenty exty-six! ''{poses with chime sound}'' I twenty-exty-six'd-ed you ''good''.

''{1-Up and Pan Pan enter from the left.}''

'''1-UP:''' Diiid we miss a challenge?

'''STINKOMAN:''' Where ya been, ladies? I had to take care of Sticklyman myself!

'''1-UP:''' Well, so how was it?

'''STINKOMAN:''' Ahh, it was okay. The fighting was decent, but it wasn't much of a challenge. ''{lies down}''

'''PAN PAN''': ''{Badalang, badalang, badalang}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Who-hah? ''{jumps back up}'' Good question, Pan Pan. I don't know what he was digging for. Habila-HUP!

''{Stinkoman leaps into the yellow diamond. Cut to a close-up of Stinkoman, who takes a bite from the mound that Sticklyman was shoveling.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Hey, this isn't dirt, it's puddiiiing! ''{small clouds appear around Stinkoman's head as he says this}''

''{Cut to a close-up of 1-Up.}''

'''1-UP:''' I want pudding! ''{A green glob descends from his nose}''

''{Camera zooms out to include Stinkoman in the foreground. 1-Up faces the opposite direction from the previous shot.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' We deserve a break. Eating pudding with a spoon! ''{produces a spoon from nowhere}''

''{Pan Pan falls onto 1-Up.}''

''{Sketch-freeze on a shot showing all three characters holding bowls and spoons. Credits roll quickly while a short tune plays:}''

''{"back" and "again" buttons appear at the bottom of the screen.}''

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
*This toon was put up instead of the regular intro page on April 1st, 2004.
*thoraxcorp.com is the web site of [[Thorax Corporation]], a fake company created by [[The Brothers Chaps]].
*[[Wikipedia:Ellipsis#In_Japanese|"..."]] is a common tool used in Japanese anime and manga. It literally means the character is "saying" nothing at all. For example, it would be used for dramatic effect in serious scenes where the character is in deep contemplation about something, or for comedic effect in slapstick anime when the character is stunned and at a loss for words. However, Stinkoman instead pronounces the ellipsis as if it were a witty one-liner.

=== Trivia ===
*The toon originally took up the entire page and there were no grey buttons at the bottom and white color background.
* "paul pan" and "storm storm" refer to Paul Sabourin and Storm DiCostanzo, the singers who performed [[Ballad of The Sneak]]. They are erstwhile members of the a cappella singing group [[DaVinci's Notebook]].
*At the end, clicking the back button will always lead back to the [[Main Page 17|20X6 Main Page]].
*The three boxes at the bottom of the site read:
<blockquote>'''Spam Free Living!!''' 
Tired of spam- 
getting ventures gone 
horpfully wrong!! 
Get with the program for as low 
as $9.95 a month. $4.95 each 
additional minute. No delabors.</blockquote>
<blockquote>'''Affordable Hostings!''' 
New house? New 
domain? WHO HAS 
TIME??!? With all new 
Greg Hosting you can get the 
website you need at the lowest 
interest rate in 40 years! 6.2% APR</blockquote>
<blockquote>'''Guaranteed Results!''' 
Use twice daily with exorbitant 
food intake. After dinner mints 
highly recommended. Will you 
please quit making that 
horribly annoying noise!? 
No Prescriptions! No 
Credit Check! $12,000</blockquote>

=== Remarks===
*Stinkoman pulls the spoon out of [[Hammerspace]].

=== Goofs ===
*When the green glob descends from 1-Up's nose, it appears to emerge closer to one side of his face, suggesting that it's coming from his right nostril. When the camera zooms out, 1-Up is now facing the opposite direction, and the green glob transfers to the other side of his face.
*When the camera is shifting from 1-Up to Stinkoman after the glob scene, the glob is on 1-Up's shirt for a single frame.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When first released, viewers couldn't see Sticklyman during parts of the fight scene as well as after it, due to layer order. This was fixed the same day.

=== Inside References ===
*The "Spam Free Living!!" ad contains the word "horpfully," a reference to [[Coach Z|Coach Z's]] thick accent.
**The same ad also mentions "No [[Thorax Corporation#The Delabor Family|delabors]]," a line also used in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[flag day]].
*When Stinkoman says "I Twenty exty-six'd you good.", it is a reference to the Teen Girl Squad deaths [Ex. Arrow'd!]
*On the last line of the credits, it says Cover ups by [[Kevin]].

=== Real-World References ===
*Stinkoman saying "WHAAAAAAAT are you doing?" references the Pioneer dub of ''[[Akira]]'', where the character Yamagata asks Tetsuo in a similar manner: "WHAAAAAAAT the hell are you talking about?"
*Sticklyman is almost certainly a reference to the popular Flash cartoon series [[Wikipedia:Xiao Xiao|Xiao Xiao]], where stick figures battle in elaborately-choreographed fight scenes.
*The entire fight scene is taken from the [[Nintendo#Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)|NES]] game ''[[Wikipedia:Ninja Gaiden (NES)|Ninja Gaiden]]'', whose introduction sequence shows two ninjas having a duel. The freeze-frame during the jump and the "..." at the end are included in the sequence.
*The first listing in the credits reads "Executive Producer H. Yamauchi." [[Wikipedia:Hiroshi Yamauchi|Hiroshi Yamauchi]] was the former president of [[Wikipedia:Nintendo|Nintendo]] and appeared in the credits as executive producer in many of Nintendo's older games.
**Also included in the credits are the names of two other famous Nintendo employees: S. Miyahon (mistranslation of [[Wikipedia:Shigeru Miyamoto|Shigeru Miyamoto]]) and Ten Ten (Takashi Tezuka), both of whom worked on the original ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda|Legend of Zelda]]'' game.
**These credits also appeared at the end of [[japanese cartoon]].
*The credit "[[Wikipedia:Elevator Action|Elevator Action]]" is a reference to a [[Wikipedia:Taito Corporation|Taito]] game of the same name.
*Also in the credits is "actual items", a possible reference to a sketch in the late night talk show [[Wikipedia:Late Night With Conan O'Brien|Late Night With Conan O'Brien]]
*Maru Maru is a misspelling of Maru Mari, the Japanese name for the [[Wikipedia:Morph Ball|Morph Ball]] powerup in the game ''[[Wikipedia:Metroid|Metroid]]''.
*The name Sticklyman may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Hangly-Man|Hangly-Man]], a Japanese [[Wikipedia:Pac-Man|Pac-Man]] clone, due to similarities in spelling and pronunciation, and the fact that both of them are examples of [[Deliberately Poor English|poor translation]] (i.e. Hangly-Man is supposed to be Hungry-Man, Sticklyman—Stick Man).

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

'''MATT:''' Oh, this was a real gag, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Well, a lot of people didn't wait the—whatever this is—eight seconds to find out that this is, uh... you know, it wasn't really... that we didn't really lose the domain. This is of course an April Fool's cartoon.

'''MATT:''' We got a lot of concerned e-mails...

'''MIKE:''' Uh-huh.

'''MATT:''' ...that the site had been shut down. The Thorax Corp. got a lot of traffic that day, I remember.

'''MIKE:''' Ha!

'''MATT:''' I'm surprised Thorax Corp. didn't get shut down.

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

'''MATT:''' So, we didn't really even think of it like this, but uh, this is a double thing being Stinkoman fighting the "under construction" guy, that was a very popular "under construction" animated GIF that is used. And also kind of a parody on the stick figure fighting thing—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' —so I really didn't think about that until after the fact.

'''MIKE:''' Did we do any bullet time in this?

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

'''MIKE:''' The bullet times are always the favorites in the stick figure animations.

'''MATT:''' Kung Fu Stick Figure Theaters.

'''MIKE:''' Look at that.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' ''{Stinkoman and Sticklyman land on the ground and the lens focuses on Sticklyman.}'' Focus.

'''MATT:''' That's some nice rack focusing. ''{Stinkoman says, "..."}'' That's a Ninja Gaiden reference there, the Ninja Gaiden, for regular Nintendo, there were cut scenes with a lot of dot dot dots in the dialogue. ...Affordable hostings, Mike! New house? New domain? Who has time?!

'''MIKE:''' Those little logos you drew, the pill bottle, the house, and the letter are very similar to the ones you used to have to really do for your job at EarthLink.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I call them my old skills! ''{laughs}'' ...Brought 'em out of retirement. ''{Stinkoman exclaims, "It's pudding!"}'' The mushroom styles...

''{The snot bubble oozes from 1-Up's nose.}''

'''MATT AND MIKE:''' ''{laugh}''

'''MATT:''' This introduced the, uh, new T mouth... Stinkoman, the mouth where like it's gritted teeth and so there's a bunch of T's. ''{whispers}'' The T mouth, I call it the T mouth.

'''MIKE:''' ''{quickly}'' T mouth!

==Nosebleed (Refactored) ==
The runny nose/anime nosebleed reference has been voted down by the community. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 22:46, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
----
Likewise, given how busy the Brothers Chaps are these days, I doubt very much that they watch Naruto. Actually, "tenten" is a generic Japanese expression for dots, such as the two-dot mark that denotes a modified form of some of the phonetic characters (katakana and hiragana) in Japanese, turning "ha" into "ba", "chi" into "ji", etc. Evidently it is also popular as a nickname...
Maybe it's just me, but the music in the ending credits is awfully reminiscent of the first-season opening theme for ''Ranma 1/2''. --[[User:codeman38|codeman38]] 21:06, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)

----

One of the programmers is listed as "maru maru". I think that could be a reference to the maru mari, an item in the Metroid series (from Metroid II onwards, translated to english as "Morph Ball").

==Closed STUFF==
===Get That Character A Kleenex! (Declined)===
1-Up getting a green nosebleed is a nod to the [[Wikipedia:Nosebleed#Nosebleeds in fiction|anime cliche]] that excited or aroused people get nosebleeds or "hanaji". The nosebleed's odd color may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Mortal_Kombat#Ports|the original Mortal Kombat port for the Super Nintendo]], where the blood was recolored gray and passed off as "sweat".
*'''"MAYBE'D!"'''I like the 1st part, but it kinda looked more like a runny nose for lack of a better way of saying it. I don't care for the 2nd part though it's a pretty funny fact!--[[User:MrsCommanderson|MrsCommanderson]] 22:23, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

*'''Agree''' I've read several article on this phenomenon. It is also standard fare for western anime parodies to include an arousal nosebleed. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 03:55, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

*From what I've heard, the blood was recolored green. They did the same thing for Resident Evil 2 when it was ported to the N64. In this case, its meant to be a generic snot bubble because 1-up isn't sexually excited. '''Decline the second'''
**As for the first...meh. I can take it or leave it. '''Neutral''' [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

*'''Accept (though possibly revise?)''' Manga fans know that this is a pretty common occurence in anime. The [http://tvwiki.sytes.net/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SnotBubble Snot Bubble] is also a common cliche, though it's generally used for sleeping characters. Perhaps TBC got the two mixed up?--[[User:rsl12|rsl12]] 17:33, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

**'''Second.''' [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 15:30, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' It's snot, and references an entirely different anime cliche with immature children having runny noses. There is no reason for 1-Up to be aroused, and if it was supposed to be blood, indicating a nosebleed, it would have been colored so.[[User:Rebochan|Rebochan]] 04:11, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' Even though I'm the one who added the 2nd part, I agree that this is unintentional. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 13:49, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Nuetral''' So what your saying is 1-Up got aroused by pudding?[[User:The_Pardack|The_Pardack]]
*'''Decline''' Note the commentary for [[japanese cartoon]]. Matt, when discussing displays of emotion and the like in anime, mentions the mushrooms AND 'the snot bubble', the only one of which on the site is 1-Up's, showing that it is indeed a snot bubble.

**What, why? I like it, but I think it needs to be '''Rewritten.''' I think it's a runny nose, but yes, it is reffering to animé, and it should be noted.[[User:TakuaKaita600|TakuaKaita600]] 17:24, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept.''' I don't understand the people who claim it's not a reference to an anime nosebleed because it's green. You might as well say Cheat Commandos aren't a reference to GI Joe because the Joes aren't Cheats. References do not have to be exactly the same as the thing they reference. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 22:10, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:::*Thanks for the defense FireBird. To me, this is not a "could be" fun fact, it IS a reference. Actually I think it's a combination reference to the snot bubble / nosebleed thing in anime; it seems a lot of people in anime / manga have fluids coming out the nose! But yes, just like "dot dot dot" and the "mushroom clouds" it's a direct reference to an anime/manga cliche. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 07:31, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

*'''Yes to the first one, No to the second''' - I think it is definitly a reference to hanaji. After all, why else would he suddenly have a runny nose (homestar didn't ever have one before so I think. As to the MK reference, I don't think so.__[[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 23:13, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
**Could it possibly be because Homestar has no nose? There is no instance of him ever smelling anything, and it's obviously not visible. However, it is particlularly clear that 1-up has a nose, especially from this cartoon. [[User:EdgeKing|EdgeKing]] 21:44, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)EdgeKing

== Stickly Man / Poopsmith reference? ==

Just out of curiosity, is there any basis for Stickly Man being a reference to the Poopsmith? Here's why I think there's a correlation:

*Stickly Man shovels pudding, and the Poopsmith shovels "whatsit" - very similar jobs.
*Neither character ever says anything.
*The Poopsmith apparently has minor fighting skills - when he was dressed up as M. Bison in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], he did M. Bison's trademark move when you clicked on him. Stickly Man obviously also fights.

I know Stickly Man is a more direct reference to "Under Construction" pages across the Web. Just thought I'd point out the similarities. [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 19:59, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

:Yes... this has already [[Talk:Stickly Man|been discussed]]. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 20:01, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

:: Ah, whoops. I didn't see that. Thanks. :) - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 20:02, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

== Real World? ==

All the items mentioned in the "Real World References" section are cartoons and games. Perhaps the title of the section should be changed to "External References". - [[User:Uglinessman|Uglinessman]] 09:27, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
:That'd require changing it on nearly every page... - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 13:30, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

:Joshua's correct, that would be an incredibly large project, and without a more detailed proposal, I'm afraid it can't really be considered. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 13:32, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

::Although the cartoons and games are not "Real World", they are published ''in'' the real world, as in the world outside of the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 13:38, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

==WHAAAAAT is this fact?==
''Stinkoman saying "WHAAAAAAAT are you doing?" references the Streamline dub of Akira, where the character Yamagata asks Tetsuo in a similar manner: "WHAAAAAAAT the h*** are you talking about" (the long "what" was due to the character's mouth being open for an extended period of time.)''

This seems really unneccesary and vague. I don't think it's a reference at all. However, if we're not going to get rid of it, can it at least be reworded to sound less...juvenile? Or is leaving "hell" uncensored really that big of a deal? (Although either way it seems kind of silly and unprofessional to put little stars there like that.) But uh, yeah. I do believe this should be a-digga-digga deleted. [[User:Evan|Evan]]

I uncensored it. "hell" isn't any worse than "crap," which Strong Bad says way too often. If we censor out "hell," are we now going to censor every instance of "crap" on the wiki? I don't think so. ~ [[User:Bruce|Bruce]] 22:59, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[[Wikipedia:Ninja#Etymology|Ninja or ninjas]]. Either one. My preference? Ninjas. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 16:41, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

== First Full-Length Fight Scene? ==

Just wondering, is this notable? The fight between 1936 and 20X6 wasn't this long (about a couple of seconds because the only "fighting" they did was when stinkoman jumped up), and this was more of a fight than anything *ahem* "miss taken." (IE: [[The Battle of Strongbadia]], which wasn't a fight.) Should also be noted that this animation was done in anime style like it should be; drawn out battles ARE a theme of anime. --[[User:99.153.135.134|99.153.135.134]] 11:00, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

:Well, his movements are limited, because he's made of thin lines. 2nd, I've don't ever remember seeing Coach Z crouch. And 3rd, Coach Z fell over like that once (I think), and he was drunk. Stickly Man had just been beaten up by Stinkoman (kind of), and it makes it cooler than just Stickly Man fallin' to the ground. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 07:26, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

::What I meant by that was, it is mentioned in the commentary for the email that it is a popular .gif file. Not like they used it in their animation or not. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}}

== Zanbato?? ==

"Sticklyman's shovel suggests a shortened Zanbato, a giant sword wielded by Sanosuke in the series Rurouni Kenshin."
Anybody besides me think this is a stretch?
:You're not alone. Personally — and this may be just me — ''I'' think Sticklyman's shovel suggests... a shovel. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:34, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
::Not to mention that a supposed reference to a weapon does ''not'' automatically reference only one person who uses said weapon. Are we also expected to say that the archers' bows in the Trogdor game are a clear reference to Legolas from Lord of the Rings? Yeah, I think this is way too much of a stretch to be included. (Besides, there's no way anyone besides Superman could wield a zanbatou the way Sticklyman throws around his shovel.) [[User:Lucentas|Lucentas]] 06:39, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

== Possible refrence to episode 1 ==

In episode 1's opening song some of the lyrics are "like a imploding star , like a burning car" maybe a reffrence to "The Best Album Cover Ever".
: I dare say that the only possible way it's ''not'' a reference is if they planned it in advance and put it into Episode 1 for exactly that reason, which would be kind of a reverse referense or something. It's already on the [[Homestar Ruiner]] page for that very reason. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:34, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

== Glitched Pac-Man ==

The way Strong Bad's game gets messed up reminds me of the way that one level on Pac-Man gets glitched up. Since I am not good at explaining it, [[Wikipedia:Image:Split_Screen_in_Pac_Man.gif|here is an image]]. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 01:01, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
*Except for the Fun Machine, the failure is distinctly different in method, as here it's supposed to be a failure of logic components within the device, rather than pure software error.
:I, for one, think it's at least a reference to that glitch screen, as it's fairly well-known within the gaming community, especially among retro gaming aficionados (which the Bros. Chaps certainly are). It doesn't have to be a reference to the method involved itself. I mean, when I saw the HBO glitch screen, the first thing that went through my mind was "Haha, Pac-Man glitch screen reference! Awesome!" I think it's easily recognizeable to anyone who's done their history of gaming homework. Or at least their Pac-Man homework. Anyway, just my two cents. [[User:Lucentas|Lucentas]] 01:49, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

== Nonexistant Homestar Glitch ==

It seems that if you attempt to "examine" the turntable in Club Technocholate in Extended Play, Homestar will say something without actually being there.

:Seconded, how many people need to see that before we put it in? I'm thinking two.
::We can make it three, with me, but the other two didn't sign their posts! When it happened to me, I only saw it the first time I examined the turntable. Each subsequent time, I got the "hasn't been used in weeks" remark. -{{User:ReverendTed/sig}} 01:30, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
:::On a similar vein, you get the same sequence any time you look at the turntable between Homestar winning his audition, and the contest actually starting.

Something just occurred to me. You need the wire hanger to complete a puzzle. The puzzle is during the Battle Royale, but AFAIK, you can only get the wire from the Locker Room, which is inaccessible during the Battle Royale. What happens if you skip taking the wire? (Note that you ''can't'' skip getting the bleach, which is obtained in the same place and also mandatory during the Battle Royale - you need to use it earlier than that.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:12, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

== eat bat head ==

Hay does the fact that king of town eats a bat head reffer to ozzy osborne? Ozzy ate a bat head tooo.
:I think that's a pretty clear reference, yes. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 02:23, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
:: I bet some of us never heard of the event
:::And that's why we should definitely mention it on the page, if you can find an appropriate Wikipedia link. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 02:50, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
::::Done and did. -{{User:ReverendTed/sig}} 23:07, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
:::::Regarding the spelling of the bat's name, "Pazquel" is invariably used by the subtitles. Mind you, they also use "Pom-Pom" and "Two-O Duo". --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 02:27, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
::::::Yeah, I'd just changed that after I noticed it was spelled Pazquel on the Telltale Walkthrough page for BotB. -{{User:ReverendTed/sig}} 02:32, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

== Misreading PomStar ==

Is it worth mentioning that PomStar is easily misread as...something else...in some fonts because of the similarity of rn to m? After I accidentally misread it the first time it seemed like an obvious joke to me. -{{User:ReverendTed/sig}} 23:09, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
:Unlikely. Welcome to the family wiki. Please say no more. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:14, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

== Manual Pages Glitch ==

It's been suggested that the Wii version allows you to obtain all of the manual pages by using the Wigglie record repeatedly in Extended Play. I can verify that this glitch is not present on the PC version. Can anyone verify that it does work on the Wii, and whether it will award unobtained manual pages until the player has them all? -{{User:ReverendTed/sig}} 21:20, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

== Rube Goldberg Remark ==

I submit that the "Rube Goldberg" Remark is inaccurate because a Rube Goldberg Machine is (as the Wikipedia link itself states) a "deliberately overengineered apparatus". The actions on the stage were not deliberately engineered to be convoluted - they are merely a result of circumstance, and they're not really a unified "apparatus" either. Typically, Rube Goldberg machines are initiated and perform the rest of their convoluted actions autonomously. Strong Bad's actions are distinct in solving individual problems associated with exposing the prop. If we're going to justify "deliberately overengineered" as being by the game's developers, then the whole of Episode 3 qualifies as a Rube Goldberg machine for playing L:HBO. (Even so, I still wouldn't consider it to be a unified apparatus.) To take a different tack on the argument: Rube Goldberg machines can usually be described as "once started, this happens to that which causes this which causes that which causes etc..." The sequence of events on stage is a series of distinct problems with independent solutions. -{{User:ReverendTed/sig}} 01:27, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
: I agree and removed it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:38, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

== Easter Eggs ==

*At the end, click on "4 Wheels" on the wagon to see Homestar, undefeated in spirit, trying to recreate the tournament scene from [[Wikipedia:The Karate Kid|The Karate Kid]].
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing in the now dark champeenship stadium}''
:I'm the best around!
:Sombadubba sombadubba, take me down!
:I'm the best around!
:Dubba dubba dubbado, take me down!
:''{His score on the scoreboard behind him turns from 0 to -1 as the buzzing sound is heard.}''

*At the end, click on "Strong Bad" to see another scene.
:''{Highly pixelated versions of Strong Bad wearing a pink jogging suit and the Wagon Fulla Pancakes are running through a highly pixelated city, which is the NYC backdrop (minus the [[Wikipedia:World Trade Center|World Trade Center]] towers) from Punch-Out from the NES.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' It's a showdown going downtown
:You're gonna mess around showdown
:Put your nose down showdown

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*In filmic terms, scholars [[Wikipedia:David Bordwell|David Bordwell]] and Kristin Thompson define a [[Wikipedia:Montage (film)|montage]] sequence as "a segment of film which summarizes a topic or compresses a passage of time into brief symbolic or typical images." Also, montage sequences generally represent a longer passage of time than the also-typical "dissolve" or "fade" techniques between shots.

===Trivia===
*This is the earliest email confirmed to be sent by an HRWiki user: [[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]].
*In the original version of this email, the background was static while Strong Bad and the wagon were spinning around. It has since been fixed to blurred trees and The Stick.
*This email introduces an updated, more symmetrical version of the gray "horns" on Strong Bad's mask.

===Remarks===
*Homestar gets less money for a shirt than he gets for a half-eaten breakfast burrito in [[HR:auction.html|"Some Type of Online Auction"]].
*Strong Bad probably changed Steve's name to Watered Down to prevent another "[[Eh! Steve!]]" crack, like he did in [[kids' book]] and [[different town]].
*The scoreboard in the gym has the word "TIMES" written under the timer.

===Goofs===
*As The Cheat keeps getting doors slammed in his face as a salesman, the last place he visits with the blue wall and white door, the door frame ends before the bottom of the toon's frame, and the right end of the door ends before the right of the frame.
*Just after Strong Bad clicks his stopwatch, the landscape shifts slightly and the piles of pancakes change in height and location. This occurs because the jpeg image used for the screen transition didn't exactly match the previous frame.

===Glitches===
*Between The Wagon's picture and The Paper's picture, there's a split-second sound clip that sounds like the beginning of "It's" from the Champeenship montage, and the Easter egg at the end.

===Inside References===
*The scene with Strong Bad and the Wagon Fulla Pancakes sitting in the canoe is reminiscent of [[lures & jigs]], where Strong Bad and Coach Z fish in the exact same spot. This is probably prompted by the [[lures & jigs]] DVD Commentary, in which [[The Brothers Chaps]] decide to reuse the lake, and which was presumably recorded before this email came out. In this email, TBC also reused [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (place)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]], the [[Quite Fancy 'Chup|ketchup]] and fries from [[funny]], the [[The Halloween House|house]] from [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], and [[The Movie Theater]] from [[A Jorb Well Done]].
*The song Strong Bad sings when he falls in love with the wagon is reminiscent of the style of [[The Kinda Long-Haired Band]].
*The [[Taranchula]] album cover is the same one from the liner notes of [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], on which their song [[Moving Very Slowly]] appears. The name "Taranchula" also appears in the e-mail [[band names]].
*The first and last house that The Cheat and the Wagon Fulla Pancakes stop at are the same house. They are also the same format of the house that you give treats from in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].
*Besides the [[The Cheat's Smoking Challenge|smoking game]] and [[big white face]], this is the first actual cartoon in which we see [[Smoking#The Cheat's Smoking|The Cheat smoking]]. Strong Bad originally acknowledged The Cheat's nicotine habit in [[Where's The Cheat?]]
*The sparkling water seen while Strong Bad is running on the horizon seems to be the same from [[Main Page 3]].
*The lyric "Lifting weights and feeling all right", from the song played during the training montage, may be a reference to [[dangeresque 3]]'s "Riding in a Corvette and feeling all right" lyric.
*"The #1" T-Shirt is loosely referenced by Strong Sad in the commentary of [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD|In Search Of The Yello Dello]].
**Though the shirt Strong Sad refers to says "''I'm'' #1" according to him, as opposed to "''The'' #1."
*Strong Bad has a problem identifying things that rhyme with "agon" in song. In this email, he mistakes a wagon for a girl, and in [[dragon]] he mistakes a dragon for a man, or maybe a dragon man. He catches the mistake both times.
*The buzzer used for the scoreboard is the same as the [[DELETED]] buzzer.
*The score of -1 is the first instance of an [[Scoreboard#Irregular Scores|irregular score]].

===Real-World References===
*The song Homestar is singing in the Easter egg ("You're the Best") comes from the 1984 classic ''[[Wikipedia:The Karate Kid|The Karate Kid]]''. Homestar's headband, bearing the design of an old Japanese flag, is also a reference to this film, and has appeared before in both [[pom pom]] and [[Theme Song Video]].
**There is actually a song called "Training Montage" from Rocky IV by Vince DiCola.
**The scene during which "You're the Best" plays in ''The Karate Kid'' is another well-known martial arts training montage.
*Much of the wagon's training sequence (especially the wagon "running" up the stairs) is a parody of the training sequence from the immortal boxing epic, ''[[Wikipedia:Rocky (series)|Rocky]]'', including the "[[Wikipedia:Rocky Steps|Rocky steps]]".
*The Strong Bad Easter egg is a take on the popular [[Nintendo|NES]] game ''[[Wikipedia:Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!|Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!]]'', in which players saw a similar sequence in between bouts of various boxing circuits (the jumps from Minor to Major, and from Major to World).
**The ''Punch-Out!!'' sequence itself was a clear reference to the training sequence in ''[[Wikipedia:Rocky (series)|Rocky]]''.
*There actually is a system call in the [[Wikipedia:Unix|Unix]] operating system called <tt>creat</tt>. It creat(e)s a new file.
*The "some guy from a zoo" line by Strong Bad during the "Late-Night Talk Show"-style intro is most likely a reference to how such shows often resort to the gimmick of having zoo workers appear on the show, accompanied by their animal partners, whose mischievous antics can often get a cheap laugh from the audience.
*The line about Strong Bad's show being canceled before the commercial break may be a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Turn-On|Turn-On]]'', which was pre-empted by many affiliates a mere 10 minutes into its pilot episode.
*The End Credits Photo Montage song is reminiscent of the ''[[Wikipedia:Queen (band)|Queen]]'' song "Headlong."
*''[[Wikipedia:Animal Planet|Animal Planet]]'' is a TV network devoted to programs about animals and nature.
* The "Where are they now" photos and text at the end of the email are a likely reference to the ending of the 1973 film [[Wikipedia:American Graffiti|American Graffiti]], where it was first used, or the 1978 movie [[Wikipedia:National Lampoon's Animal House|National Lampoon's Animal House]].

===Fast Forward===
[[Image:The Paper---Shreder'd + montage.PNG|thumb|220px|right|'Twas foretold]]
*The Wagon Fulla Pancakes really ''does'' do some spots for a used car dealership, as it shows up in a commercial for [[Senor Cardgage]]'s in [[Senorial Day]].
*Strong Bad and his pink suit from the Easter egg show up again in [[rock opera]].
*Homestar's "weekend" song plays at [[The King of Town]]'s party of [[boring (really)]].
*The "Showdown" song plays while Pom Pom and Homestar work out in [[Strongest Man in the World]], and during the montage of Strong Bad digging a hole in Marzipan's front yard in [[Homestar Ruiner]].
*The Paper does indeed stick around until email #173 ([[the paper]]), at which time Strong Bad actually does upgrade to an [[New Paper|inkjet printer]]. This change was also foreshadowed in email 172 ([[more armies]]) when The Paper comes down torn and sick looking. Strong Bad remarks that "that's a bad sign".

== DVD Version ==
*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]], [[Marzipan]])

'''MATT:''' Listen... ''{Strong Bad says, "actress Marzipan" in the background.}'' And we've got Marzipan right here with us!

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously, indecipherable}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah!

'''MATT:''' He called you an actress. Isn't that nice?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah!

'''MATT:''' Seems like usually he calls you something worse than that.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah!

''{Matt and Mike both laugh.}''

'''MIKE:''' You're doing a good job acting right now, saying the word "yeah" over and over again.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Thank you.

'''MATT:''' Oh, thank you. A new word.

'''MARZIPAN:''' So, what are we here for, today?

'''MIKE:''' We're doing the commentary for the "montage" email.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. We're here in this tiny, glass-enclosed booth, recording some commentary.

'''MARZIPAN:''' It is getting smelly in here, too.

'''MATT:''' It is. Mike and I have been in here all day.

'''MARZIPAN:''' It smells like Fritos.

'''MIKE:''' Have you ever seen this email before?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I... haven't.

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

'''MIKE:''' Look, he's got a wagon fulla pancakes, isn't that something?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Those are not real pancakes.

'''MIKE:''' No? What are they?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I dunno, I think they're made out of plaster.

'''MATT:''' Look, Mike, there's the lake that did appear later as per your, uh, prophecy on the old DVD.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, yeah.

'''MATT:''' Your comments of the—

'''MIKE:''' ''{indecipherable}''

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that we were going to use it later and— and we did, just a few weeks after that I think.

'''MARZIPAN:''' It really is starting to smell.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Let's comment more on the— on the email. Is that— that was completely new, that— I mean it looks kind of like the one from — can't say "job" — doesn't it? But that theater—?

'''MIKE:''' It's been modified for the theater, yeah.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Um, we should head back there someday, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' And maybe we will.

'''MATT:''' For a movie.

'''MIKE:''' Look, there's your friend The Cheat.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Look, the pancakes are wearing a hat, Marzipan.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I see.

'''MATT:''' And holding a briefcase somehow.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' And now they're enjoying a highball.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I didn't know that The Cheat smoked!

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' He's got a problem.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I didn't know that—

'''MIKE:''' ''{whispering}'' There's your boyfriend.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar had that— that's ''my'' shirt.

'''MATT:''' That's yours? Uh oh, 'cause he sells it later on in this email, so—

'''MARZIPAN:''' That was mine! I was wondering what happened to it.

'''MATT:''' He got a good deal for it, at least.

'''MARZIPAN:''' What'd he get?

'''MATT:''' Uh, I'm not sure. Probably, like, 17 dollars.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I'll tell him he needs to split the proceeds.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' He should. Sounds like it should ''all'' go to you; it was ''your'' shirt.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' A nice sunset.

'''MARZIPAN:''' It's okay.

''{Pause}''

'''MATT:''' Ohhh, Homestar looks like Daniel LaRusso—

'''MIKE:''' His Karate's a joke. "You think you can rely on that crane crap?"

'''MARZIPAN:''' He's actually trained in Tae Kwon Do.

'''MATT:''' Really? Homestar is?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Wow.

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's probably why he didn't do well with the Karate.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' Oh ho! He learned the wrong martial art.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Right.

'''MATT:''' What do you think of this, um, end of the— end of the movie photo montage?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I think it's okay.

'''MATT:''' See, look. Oh! He— no, sorry, I lied. He got it for three bucks. Not 17.

'''MIKE:''' You got a buck-fifty comin' to ya.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I— Animal Planet's my favorite program.

'''MATT:''' Hey, isn't "cancelled" spelled wrong there?

'''MIKE:''' Was it?

'''MATT:''' I think "cancelled" only has one L. Let's change that before we put out this DVD.

'''MIKE:''' We can— ''{Pause}'' Oh, it's not over yet.

'''MATT:''' Oh, it's not, Marzipan.

'''MIKE:''' You might think it's over, but it's not.

'''MATT:''' Say something!

'''MIKE:''' Now it's over.

===Fun Facts===
*Daniel LaRusso is the name of the main character from ''[[Wikipedia:The Karate Kid|The Karate Kid]]''.
*"Cancelled" appears on both the website and DVD. Though both are correct ways of spelling, "canceled" is generally a more American way of spelling it.
*Unlike her prior DVD commentary appearances in emails 1-100, Marzipan has largely dropped the premise that homestarrunner.com is a show and not "real" life.
*"Can't Say Job" is the name of the HTML and Flash files for [[A Jorb Well Done]].
*[[Wikipedia:Tae Kwon Do|Tae Kwon Do]] (literally ''hand and foot art'') is a Korean form of martial arts.

==helscome my wedsite==

it's not done yet.

I'm insane; that's really all you need to know.

* Oh and there was this one time I reverted something. I was pretty proud of myself after that. It made my day, actually. My pathetic, no-lifer day.

==Well, okay.==

I guess I could like, write a little bit about my experiences with the website. My best friend introduced me to it back in early ought-four, all the way back when different town was the newest SBEmail. Those were the days. The glorious summer days of drinkin' lemonade, messin' around on Sims 2, and just plain hanging out with my best The Cheat, The Cheat. (After becoming hooked on the site, which didn't take long, I promptly nicknamed her The Cheat. I don't know why. Maybe because she's my sidekick-type person. Or because her hair is yellow like The Cheat's fur, sans spots. I also nicknamed myself the King of Town for my renowned ability to clean out your fridge of all leftovers before you can say "postlethwaite".)

Ironically, I would have been introduced to it earlier, as she had tried several times to send me a link to the SBEmail anything over AIM, but for some reason my Flash player didn't like it or something. Also, as a result, I think that was the first 'toon I ever saw (I was over at her house and she had taken the opportunity to finally show it to me).

Wikiwise, I honestly have no idea how I stumbled upon this Wiki (my memory is old, rusty, and riddled with gaping holes and mildew). Um...that's about it for the Wiki. I hang around, I guess. Fix things that need fixing. Peruse random pages over lunch.

==Things I Am Not==

It's infinitely more amusing than just writing about things that I am.

* I am not six years old, although I act like it pretty much all the time.
* I am not a fan of metal. In fact, my favorite music genres are classical and opera. Yes, opera. But I still find the Chaps' references to rock music to be hilarious, as is Limozeen.
* I am not European.
* Contrary to popular belief, I am not, nor have I ever been, a gopher. My relations to any rodents are tenuous.
* I am not an obsessive Chapman stalker. I respect their privacy and personal lives just as much as I'd like my own to be respected. But I do appreciate their occasional DVD appearances, because they are really funny guys.
* The reasons I like H*R are fourfold: 1. The Chaps' sense of humor is very similar to my own. 2. The dynamic between Mike and Matt reminds me very much of the dynamic between my sisters and I, especially when we were younger and all the times doing crazy things. 3. I highly appreciate their constant references to the 70's-90's, hearkening back to the simpler times I loved so. Oh past decades and pixelly video games, I pine for you. 4. It's so wacky and ridiculous, it's great for when I just need some relaxing time. I have no idea why that is.
* I am not one of those people who has a list of favorite 'toons and quotes; they're all so awesome, I can't possibly play favorites. And I regularly work quotes into my everyday speech (regardless of context), so...yeah.

==helscome my wedsite==

it's not done yet.

I'm insane; that's really all you need to know.

* Oh and there was this one time I reverted something. I was pretty proud of myself after that. It made my day, actually. My pathetic, no-lifer day.

==Well, okay.==

I guess I could like, write a little bit about my experiences with the website. My best friend introduced me to it back in early ought-four, all the way back when different town was the newest SBEmail. Those were the days. The glorious summer days of drinkin' lemonade, messin' around on Sims 2, and just plain hanging out with my best The Cheat, The Cheat. (After becoming hooked on the site, which didn't take long, I promptly nicknamed her The Cheat. I don't know why. Maybe because she's my sidekick-type person. Or because her hair is yellow like The Cheat's fur, sans spots. I also nicknamed myself the King of Town for my renowned ability to clean out your fridge of all leftovers before you can say "postlethwaite".)

Ironically, I would have been introduced to it earlier, as she had tried several times to send me a link to the SBEmail anything over AIM, but for some reason my Flash player didn't like it or something. Also, as a result, I think that was the first 'toon I ever saw (I was over at her house and she had taken the opportunity to finally show it to me).

Wikiwise, I honestly have no idea how I stumbled upon this Wiki (my memory is old, rusty, and riddled with gaping holes and mildew). Um...that's about it for the Wiki. I hang around, I guess. Fix things that need fixing. Peruse random pages over lunch.

==Things I Am Not==

It's infinitely more amusing than just writing about things that I am.

* I am not six years old, although I act like it pretty much all the time.
* I am not a fan of metal. In fact, my favorite music genres are classical and opera. Yes, opera. But I still find the Chaps' references to rock music to be hilarious, as is Limozeen.
* I am not European.
* Contrary to popular belief, I am not, nor have I ever been, a gopher. My relations to any rodents are tenuous.
* I am not an obsessive Chapman stalker. I respect their privacy and personal lives just as much as I'd like my own to be respected. But I do appreciate their occasional DVD appearances, because they are really funny guys.
* The reasons I like H*R are fourfold: 1. The Chaps' sense of humor is very similar to my own. 2. The dynamic between Mike and Matt reminds me very much of the dynamic between my sisters and I, especially when we were younger and all the times doing crazy things. 3. I highly appreciate their constant references to the 70's-90's, hearkening back to the simpler times I loved so. Oh past decades and pixelly video games, I pine for you. 4. It's so wacky and ridiculous, it's great for when I just need some relaxing time. I have no idea why that is.
* I am not one of those people who has a list of favorite 'toons and quotes; they're all so awesome, I can't possibly play favorites. And I regularly work quotes into my everyday speech (regardless of context), so...yeah.

Folk Tale World

2008-09-17T19:14:55Z

Lucentas: It kinda...needed...better wording. And less sentences starting with the word "this".

[[Image:Saddy Dumpington 2.PNG|thumb|Watercolor and all]]
'''Folk Tale World''' is the setting of [[A Folky Tale|The Folky Tale of Saddy Dumpington]].

Folk Tale World is a product of [[Strong Sad]]'s [[Made-Up Places|imagination]] with some embellishments from [[Coach Z]]. It is portrayed in a [[Wikipedia:Watercolor painting|watercolor]] art style. A town, a forest, and a lake are the only areas that have been shown to exist in the world so far. Populating Folk Tale World are [[Saddy Dumpington]], The Townsfolk, The Mayor, A Little Girl, [[The Dancing Brothers]] and various woodland creatures (most of which he calls "(Animal) Joe"). (The "watercolor" art is produced using vector graphics, just like all the other animation, but overlaid with a low-opacity bitmap to make the canvas texture.)

|| Fox Joe lives in the forest to which Saddy was sent. He might have been subject to one of Saddy's depressing encouragements, but luckily was interrupted by the Dancing Brothers.
|| [[Image:Fox.PNG|100px]]
|- id="Weird_Snake_Joe"
| '''Weird Snake Joe'''
|| Saddy dressed as Weird Snake Joe because he thought that weird snakes are miserable and depressing. The townsfolk didn't think so.
||[[Image:Snake.PNG|200px]]
|- id="The_Townsfolk"
| '''The Townsfolk'''
|| The Townsfolk began laughing uncontrollably when Saddy left. They laughed so much when he came back dressed as Weird Snake Joe that they became permanently unconscious.

|- id="Turkey_Joe"
| '''Turkey Joe'''
|| This turkey appeared in [[Toikey TV]]. He panics when Saddy tells him of his plans to rip out his entrails, grind them up with some rosemary and sage, and shove them back inside him.

''{cut to exterior shot of front door, showing a pulsating electronic security gate, bearing matching lights to Strong Bad's collar}'' Try walking past that fence downstairs, and ''blammo''!

:'''STRONG BAD:''' House arrest? Aw man, this is the worse thing to happen to my style in a long line of bad things happening to my style. I gotta find a way outta here, and give that uncharacteristically oppresive King of Town a serious mustahce pounding.

Strong Badia the Free Responses (Bleak House)

Lucentas: All of these are for extended play; I'm not sure whether or not to note that on the transcript itself.

[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]] has many responses when you talk to various characters and interact with various objects. These are the responses from [[House of the Brothers Strong|House of Strong]] in [[Strong Badia the Free]].

Sure he's stupid looking, ''{cut to drawing of the King of Town on a sheet of notebook paper, his Dumb Crown, Cheesy Beard, Stupid Red Robe and Fatness are labelled}'' as this scientific diagram illustrates, but he stays out of my business, and that lazy faire approach to government is a welcome alternative.

Lucentas:

This user may get around to adding another one of those ubiquitous and silly userboxes on this page on a day when this user is bored enough. (Which probably won't be any time soon.)

==helscome my wedsite==

it's not done yet.

I'm insane; that's really all you need to know.

* Oh and there was this one time I reverted something. I was pretty proud of myself after that. It made my day, actually. My pathetic, no-lifer day.

==Well, okay.==

I guess I could like, write a little bit about my experiences with the website. My best friend introduced me to it back in early ought-four, all the way back when different town was the newest SBEmail. Those were the days. The glorious summer days of drinkin' lemonade, messin' around on Sims 2, and just plain hanging out with my best The Cheat, The Cheat. (After becoming hooked on the site, which didn't take long, I promptly nicknamed her The Cheat. I don't know why. Maybe because she's my sidekick-type person. Or because her hair is yellow like The Cheat's fur, sans spots. I also nicknamed myself the King of Town for my renowned ability to clean out your fridge of all leftovers before you can say "postlethwaite".)

Ironically, I would have been introduced to it earlier, as she had tried several times to send me a link to the SBEmail anything over AIM, but for some reason my Flash player didn't like it or something. Also, as a result, I think that was the first 'toon I ever saw (I was over at her house and she had taken the opportunity to finally show it to me).

Wikiwise, I honestly have no idea how I stumbled upon this Wiki (my memory is old, rusty, and riddled with gaping holes and mildew). Um...that's about it for the Wiki. I hang around, I guess. Fix things that need fixing. Peruse random pages over lunch.

==Things I Am Not==

It's infinitely more amusing than just writing about things that I am.

* I am not six years old, although I act like it pretty much all the time.
* I am not a fan of metal. In fact, my favorite music genres are classical and opera. Yes, opera. But I still find the Chaps' references to rock music to be hilarious, as is Limozeen.
* I am not European.
* Contrary to popular belief, I am not, nor have I ever been, a gopher. My relations to any rodents are tenuous.
* I am not an obsessive Chapman stalker. I respect their privacy and personal lives just as much as I'd like my own to be respected. But I do appreciate their occasional DVD appearances, because they are really funny guys.
* The reasons I like H*R are fourfold: 1. The Chaps' sense of humor is very similar to my own. 2. The dynamic between Mike and Matt reminds me very much of the dynamic between my sisters and I, especially when we were younger and all the times doing crazy things. 3. I highly appreciate their constant references to the 70's-90's, hearkening back to the simpler times I loved so. Oh past decades and pixelly video games, I pine for you. 4. It's so wacky and ridiculous, it's great for when I just need some relaxing time. I have no idea why that is.
* I am not one of those people who has a list of favorite 'toons and quotes; they're all so awesome, I can't possibly play favorites. And I regularly work quotes into my everyday speech (regardless of context), so...yeah.

==Bling==
I think the caption 'Bling-Bling indeed!' should be changed. Bling bling is more like jewelery. What CoachZ is wearing is more like the clocks Public Enemy would wear, and since he prefers old school hip hop. Bling bling is more new school, rappers such as 50 Cent, or Snoop Dogg.

:Nah. It's pretty much "bling". Also, please sign your posts. Thank-you. →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]

:The name bling bling come from the sound the jewelery makes, that alone won't make a sound, definitely more decoration purpose, and being into old school hip hop, before bling was anything, he wouldn't be interested in bling. Even new school stuff which is closer to old school today, Jurassic 5, or Black Eyed Peas, steers clear of anything 'bling'. [[User:thecoachz|thecoachz]]

Alright, Coach Z is clearly an adult (albeit with a funky afro) in the sbemail [[stand-up]], he thanks little marzipan for her clogging. Later, in marzipan's answering machine 5, coach Z is drunkenly propositioning her. What kinda sick pedophile is he ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
:Well, Marzipan's not a child any more. More importantly, the characters aren't human, so we can't tell how they age - Coach Z could potentially be a year or two older than her. We can't start drawing human parallels with a character with no nose or mouth. --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]
::I speculate that Marzipan is now a teenager or in her 20's, and Coach Z is in his 40's or 50's. -[[User:Clever Ben|Clever Ben]]
:::I speculate that Marzipan is 25 year old, and Coach Z is 30 or so. I know that is most likely wrong as with [[stand-up]], but that's just how I always looked at them...[[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 18:39, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
::::If i remember correctly, Coach Z describes himself as an 'old man' in [[caffeine]] and has ailing back problems, albeit encouraged by sleeping on a locker room bench. As such, I always regarded him as nearing late-middle age, although his penchant for hip-hop would seem contrary to this - or maybe I'm being ageist. Regardless, I think Marzipan's maturity would debunk any grounds for pedophilia accusations. [[User:Grover Junior|Grover Junior]]
:::::Just leave it alone--you're ruining the magic. -Innocent Bystander
::::::I agree with Clever Ben about their age. Also, consider the fact that Coach is their Coach, and has been since they were kids.[[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]

Okay, why is the section edit link hidden behind text? (at least for me. FireFox. But don't say anything bad about it, or I'll punch your refresh button so hard you'll be loading tomorrow's edits.) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 02:57, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
: It happens from time to time. A Wiki glitch, I think. Just hard-refresh while the edit link would normally be on-screen; that usually fixes it for me. And, are we a bit touchy today? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:00, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

==Context for mispronunciations==
It would be nice to link to the toon in question for each of the [[Coach Z#List of mispronounced words|mispronounced words]] on the list. For one thing, it would make it easier to verify additions to the list, besides which it would improve its knowledge-base usefulness! —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 02:22, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

== Swtchereroo? ==
Has anyone else noticed that Strong Sad and Coach Z seem to be "switching roles"? Strong Sad is much more outgoing, and Coach Z is starting to ask depressed, as in "No, I'm not alone! Yes, this phone is plugged in" (talking to himself), and more recently, "Unless Coach Z's life is a magic potion." (saying he's riuined his own life)in Halloween Potion-Ma-Jig. I'm just saying. Pretty weird. [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]]

:Good call. I'm not so sure Strong Sad is changing permanently, though. Although he's gone from being Eeyore to (as per prophecy) "more whiny" to, now, more of a long-suffering misunderstood-poet type. But as for Coach Z being depressing, I think that starts at least with some of those [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|answering machine versions]], particularly [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|8.0]]. That one sure knows how to tug at your heartstrings. (He's just such a trouper.) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 23:40, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

::'' '''Editor's note:''' These three comments were left originally as HTML comments and have now been made visible on this talk page.''
::I think you want "trooper", because "trouper" indicates someone who is part of a troupe - as in, a traveling band of performers, etc. A "trooper," in this case, is someone who keeps going, against all odds.{{User:KieferSkunk/sig}}
::Dictionary.com seems to prefer "trouper." "Trooper" doesn't have a resilience definition, at least in the dictionaries I glanced through. [[User:Spell4yr|Spell4yr]]

::''The rest are regular comments.''

:::On the other hand, the [http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va=trooper&book=Dictionary Mirriam Webster] entry for "trooper" lists the third definition as "TROUPER," which in turn contains the connotation we're looking for here.

: Coach Z has always struck me as the misunderstood type, right from the start. He's the type to get out there and help however he can, but people often misunderstand him partly because he tries too hard. Seems TBC have been playing up more on his personal, inner side lately, rather than his outer, social side. But I don't see his character really changing all that much - I think we're just getting to know him better over time. :) - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 23:45, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

::I personally think that it's Coach Z's insecurities that are just starting to surface more and more. My guess is that his style and taste in music are a reflection of his attempt to draw attention and fit in. Only now, his desires for attention and/or acceptance not being realized through his "hip-hopness" (not that he's not being accepted) and its beginning to take its toll. His loneliness and insecurity is now starting to become more visible. Of course coach Z wouldn't be coach Z without his hip-hopness (??). I'm probably overanalyzing but still, that's my take on things. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:38, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

:::I think Coach Z is getting more emotional and showing it, but discussing this character's emotional development (or lack thereof) is depressing in itself. [[User:Elvis|Elvis]] 18:37, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

== Coach X or Coach Y? ==

There's a new remark that mentions that in [[A Folky Tale]], Coach Z refers to Coach X and Coach Y in the present tense, indicating that these other Coaches exist and are known to Strong Sad. I wanted to call this one into question: I don't think Coach Z's phrasing in Folky Tale means anything more than just "You might get away with that with someone else, but not with me", and he just called out X and Y as hypothetical examples. We have no evidence anywhere else that there is a Coach X or Y in the HSR universe. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:10, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
:I agree. That Fun Fact seems very tenuous to me; it should probably be [[DELETED]]! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 22:16, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
::<strike>Update: this Fun Fact is now in [[HRWiki:STUFF|STUFF]].</strike> {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:45, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
:::It has been declined. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:01, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

== The Cheat and The Chort ==

I'm adding this here because I don't know if it should be STUFF'd or not. Now, on the page under inconsistencies, we note the saying of both "The Chort" and "The Cheat" in [[mascot]]. Call me crazy, but I don't really think this is an inconsistency, because Coach Z only calls The Cheat "The Chort." I would consider the other person/thing Coach Z is referencing (who I'll call The Chort for the sake of the argument) to be an Unseen Character. What do y'all think? --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 18:13, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
:Well, it's true that Coach Z's comment ("Get yer head in the game, The Chort! The Cheat is wide open!") doesn't make much sense in the context - basically, he's telling The Cheat to somehow cooperate with himself. But there are two things going on here: One, in the context, there would be no reason for an unseen "The Chort" or such like - The Cheat is bashing a pile of (unmoving) electronics. Two, regardless of who he's talking to or what the context is, Coach Z's accent almost ALWAYS has him saying the long E "ee" as "or" (Cheat -> Chort, etc), so him actually saying "The Cheat" is inconsistent, whether he's referring directly to The Cheat or not. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 21:08, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

== Closed STUFF ==

{{stuffcloseddecline}}
=== You're dealing with Coach dang Z!! ===
{{stufffact|In his character video, Coach Z says you can call him just "Coach" because he's the only one; but in [[A Folky Tale]], he refers to Coach X and Coach Y in the present tense, and in a context that implies they are also known to Strong Sad.}}

:...just a quick question: Why wasn't the "Strong Sad sucks big time" comment also reverted? {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 19:13, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

== Coach Z mispronunciations ==

Is it possible to get the Coach Z mispronunciations to have citations? Just throwin' that out there... {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 05:01, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
:Citations? As in, you want to know where the mispronunciations came from? Or you want to see the sentence the mispronounced word appeared in? Or both? Such an analysis could be done, but would take time and require a significant rewrite of that section of the page. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:34, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
::Yeah, I know, it would be a HUGE undertaking. Not that I'm volunteering! Just throwin' that idea out there. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 18:39, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
:::If I have time later, I'll see about making a table similar to the ones in [[Foreign Words]] and [[Internet Slang]]. This one would just list the base word, the way Coach Z says it, and the cartoon/email the mispronunciation appeared in. I don't think it'll be necessary to also write the full sentence for context - if someone wants to know the context, the link to the Toon would allow them to read the transcript for the toon in question easily. Also, "The Chort" should link to The Cheat's filmography, since that one happens a lot. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:52, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
::::The full sentence would be available at the transcription, so no use in doing that twice. I see you're on it, glad I spurred something positive! {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:35, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

:Thanks! :) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 01:35, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

== The pamcakes... were Homestar's!!! ==

I'm leery about including the [[montage|"pamcakes"]] reference, for two reasons:
# It doesn't fall under Coach Z's usual mispronunciation patterns.
# Z is actually just imitating a mispronunciation that Homestar already made.
Thoughts? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 15:46, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
:I agree. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 15:49, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

== Northeast? ==
Maybe Coach Z is from the north east. Mainly because he adds the unneeded r in all of this words. People from the Northeast, example Boston (In which Coach Z has mentioned knowing someone from there) they add in the unneeded r's in their words.--{{User:H*bad/sig}} 15:51, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
:Perhaps, but it's established that his accent is a mix of regionalisms, and that he drops the accent frequently. Trying to pin the made-up accent to a location seems futile to me. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 15:56, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
::When people drop their accent that means that the accent is starting to show that its going to go away.--{{User:H*bad/sig}} 15:58, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
:::The point is that Coach Z's accent is an anomaly - it doesn't follow the "standard rules" for accents, and it's been properly speculated (both here and in the Toons themselves) that his accent is bogus (that he mispronounces words deliberately). Therefore, trying to place the accent is pretty much futile as Qermaq suggested, and I don't think Coach Z's accent is likely to go away any time soon (considering that's one of his main defining characteristics). {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 15:30, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

:But it's only been used twice, on [[Spin 'n Say]] and [[Main Page 11]]. It's a funny quote, not a catchphrase. Besides, the article already says, "As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got more than two problems." {{User:The Chort/sig}} 20:32, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

==Strong Bad IMs==

Hey, I was just watching the Marzipan email on my Strong Bad DVD and realized that you can use pause and slo mo to read all of the IMs popping up when he's trying to write the Cheat--anyway, he says it's Marzipan, but she denies it, and one message that you can only see on slo mo says 'Are you trying to fade me?' Sounds like a certain hip hop single.. [[User:76.168.177.211|76.168.177.211]] 20:31, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

== Coach Z has an apartment? ==

In http://homestarrunner.com/costumes.html , the coach Z costume (third picture) Strong Bad mentions that the person "really nailed the condition of Coach Z's apartment"
~Kroc
:I think that's more of a joke, Strong Bad himself has stated that Coach Z lives in the locker room in [[hygiene]].--{{User:Slipstream/sig}} 09:20, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

== Aff-Amer? ==

Considering Coach Z dressed as African Americans in hip-hop culture for Halloween in the past 8 years and made a reference to the BET charts, it's not safe to think of him as an A.A. in the H*R universe, is it? He had the 'fro and 'stache long ago, though. Just some theory I've been pondering for a year or two. --[[User:Charlie Jr.|Charlie Jr.]] 22:15, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

:I think it's more that he's decidedly ''not'' African-American that makes it funny — he's got a strong Minnesotan accent, so I think that he's a lot more like a Midwestern Caucasian trying to portray himself as a rapper with street cred. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:59, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

== More than his more than two problems ==

this list seems to have turned into "Coach Z's more than 2 times of doing something stupid" rather than his actual problems. I suggest removal of all but the actual '''problems'''. I'll do it, so long as there's consensus. So, any thoughts? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:21, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
:I also believe that list is too long. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 21:29, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
::Agree. Most of them aren't actual problems, but are more results of the root problems. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:43, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
:::Edit conflicted: Actually, going through it and commenting, i have discovered that it's not overly long as much as disorganized. (see below, i quit halfway through) I think it could be organized into actual problems and then sub bulleted with specific examples. (After conflict) Exactly my point, it should be organized by root and then by instance. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:47, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
===The list===
Well, then that begs the question, what stays and what goes... so, let's discuss:
*Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]].
:I could see this one being useful, even though it's not an actual problem, as he IS a coach. I don't know, i could go both ways.

*He seems to have psychological problems. For example, in [[garage sale]], he is seen gathering up all the "great for baby" items, but is reluctant to explain why. When Strong Bad comments that "garbage sale" is "for moms only", Coach Z responds "Oh, then I'm okay to say it." In [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0]], he admits he sometimes forgets what's real and what's just in his head.
:Keep, and i think we can condense a lot of the other ones into this one as sub bullets. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}}

*His accent makes his speech almost incapable of comprehension.
:I'd rewrite it, and link to later on in the page, but keep. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:47, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

*He has admitted that he has [[Wikipedia: athlete's foot|athlete's foot]]. This was further implied as "problems with his feet" in [[rampage]].
:Maybe a bullet called medical problems with this and others as a sub bullet? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:47, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

*He has mentioned he has a bad back in his characters page, in [[rampage]], and in [[slumber party]].
:medical problem, sub bullet. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:47, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

*He has been drunk multiple times, usually on mouthwash.
:definite keep. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:47, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

*He would rather play with a [[cardboard box]] clearly labeled "NOT A BALL!" than with an actual ball, as seen in [[highschool]].
:no. remove. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:47, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

*He spiked the punch at the [[senior prom]] with mouthwash.
:i would say remove, but if we're gonna keep, then as a sub bullet under his alchoholism {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:47, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

*He has bad hand-eye coordination, as evidenced in [[cliffhangers]].
:medical sub bullet {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:47, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

*He has an obsession with butts.
:psychological sub bullet {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:47, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

*He holds the record for the longest time gone without [[showering]].
:maybe add a sub bullet for hygeine {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:47, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

*He admits he likes a good chafe in [[theme park]].
:weird, but not under any specific problem... i say either remove or maybe a misc bullet? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:47, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

*He enjoys covering puke in sawdust, as seen in [[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]], where he says "This is what I live for!" In the commentary for that scene, he claims that "Sawdust makes everything delicious".
:same here {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:47, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
::You enjoy covering puke in sawdust as well? =] {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 21:55, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
:::Hahahaha, i was referring to my comment on the last fact. cute though. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:57, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

*In [[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]], he claims to only know a few words, such as "pfargtl". In the commentary for that scene, he claims "pfargtl" is his favorite animal, and he had a "p-family pfargtl" when he was a kid.
*He wears a disturbingly small bathing suit when swimming and leaks a black fluid when it is removed, as seen in [[underlings]].
*He has a weak imagination, as evidenced in [[DNA Evidence]].
*He fancies himself as a hip-hop artist, but has little musical talent.
*It has been implied that he has a crush on Marzipan; he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her and has admitted to sneaking into her house.
*He has personal financial problems (due to his apparent job as a janitor), causing his electricity to be shut off each year.
*He seems to believe he's in a relationship with Bubs, as seen in [[Date Nite]].
*He has slight memory loss, as seen in [[mini-golf]].
*Even when he finds something he's eating awful, such as [[secret recipes|a bowl of sour cream and The Cheat fur]], he still eats it.
*He has puked his pants many times.
*His [[hygiene]] habits are so poor that at one point, he believed that the shower heads in his locker room were his "drippy, broken speakers".
*He likes topical ointments, as indicated in [[Rap Song]].
*He carries a bottle of questionable water with him at all times for questionable reasons.
*He believes that in "the 74's were the prime of his dating year", and that "back then every lady would go out with anything that had a mustache".
*He believes that a sketch of a cell phone is a real cell phone.
*He cooks a hot dog from a shower in [[environment]], thinking he is cooking with hydroelectricity.
**I thought this was one of the most irrelevant, if not ''the'' most irrelevant, entries on the list. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 12:52, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
***Actually, if you don't agree with me it could be a bullet point underneath that thing about eating awful dishes. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 18:31, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
*On [[Trogday 08]], he once asked one of [[Wormdingler|his drawings]] to be his bride.
**The only reason I added this was to match the fact above it. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 12:52, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

===Facts I straight out removed===
Okay, I redid the section. So that they don't get lost in my heavy edit, in case someone wants to dispute any on them, here are the facts i straight out removed. All of the other ones were reworded or remained as they were. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:39, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

*He has a weak imagination, as evidenced in [[DNA Evidence]].
Not a problem, people aren't required to have good imaginations. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:39, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

*He fancies himself as a hip-hop artist, but has little musical talent.
So he likes doing something, but sucks at it. He's not the first person in history to have a failed dream. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:39, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

*He likes topical ointments, as indicated in [[Rap Song]].
Ummmmmm... how is this a problem? I personally don't like any ointment that's not topical, as it means... well... ahem. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:39, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

*He believes that "the 74's were the prime of his dating year", and that "back then every lady would go out with anything that had a mustache".
Too vague. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:39, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

*He would rather play with a [[cardboard box]] clearly labeled "NOT A BALL!" than with an actual ball, as seen in [[highschool]].
He was a baby, imagining... {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:39, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
:Did you ever notice that a real football was sitting there next to him, and he could have just used that instead of pretending that box was a ball? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 19:42, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
::Yes, and do you know how many times when i was little i got one of those toy ride-on cars, but was happier pretending the box it came in was a spaceship? Well, just once, because how many ride-on cars does a household need, but that box got some good use out of it... {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:50, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
:::Yeah, babies aren't the smartest beings on the planet. That's why they're so cute! Also, that was just Strong Bad's unphotographic memory of their babyhood. Coach Z probably wasn't even in the same nursery as Strong Bad. As a general rule of thumb, I'd take the entire email with a Dead Sea's quantity of salt. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 20:03, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

*He has admitted that he has [[Wikipedia: athlete's foot|athlete's foot]].
I searched the wiki, and he doesn't appear to be any mention of athletes foot other than in relation to this, and [[modeling]] which he wasn't even in. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:39, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
:He says he has "athlete's footies" in [[labor day]]... {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 13:09, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

==helscome my wedsite==

it's not done yet.

I'm insane; that's really all you need to know.

* Oh and there was this one time I reverted something. I was pretty proud of myself after that. It made my day, actually. My pathetic, no-lifer day.

==Well, okay.==

I guess I could like, write a little bit about my experiences with the website. My best friend introduced me to it back in early ought-four, all the way back when different town was the newest SBEmail. Those were the days. The glorious summer days of drinkin' lemonade, messin' around on Sims 2, and just plain hanging out with my best The Cheat, The Cheat. (After becoming hooked on the site, which didn't take long, I promptly nicknamed her The Cheat. I don't know why. Maybe because she's my sidekick-type person. Or because her hair is yellow like The Cheat's fur, sans spots. I also nicknamed myself the King of Town for my renowned ability to clean out your fridge of all leftovers before you can say "postlethwaite".)

Ironically, I would have been introduced to it earlier, as she had tried several times to send me a link to the SBEmail anything over AIM, but for some reason my Flash player didn't like it or something. Also, as a result, I think that was the first 'toon I ever saw (I was over at her house and she had taken the opportunity to finally show it to me).

Wikiwise, I honestly have no idea how I stumbled upon this Wiki (my memory is old, rusty, and riddled with gaping holes and mildew). Um...that's about it for the Wiki. I hang around, I guess. Fix things that need fixing. Peruse random pages over lunch.

==Things I Am Not==

It's infinitely more amusing than just writing about things that I am.

* I am not six years old, although I act like it pretty much all the time.
* I am not a fan of metal. In fact, my favorite music genres are classical and opera. Yes, opera. But I still find the Chaps' references to rock music to be hilarious, as is Limozeen.
* I am not European.
* Contrary to popular belief, I am not, nor have I ever been, a gopher. My relations to any rodents are tenuous.
* I am not an obsessive Chapman stalker. I respect their privacy and personal lives just as much as I'd like my own to be respected. But I do appreciate their occasional DVD appearances, because they are really funny guys.
* The reasons I like H*R are fourfold: 1. The Chaps' sense of humor is very similar to my own. 2. The dynamic between Mike and Matt reminds me very much of the dynamic between my sisters and I, especially when we were younger and all the times doing crazy things. 3. I highly appreciate their constant references to the 70's-90's, hearkening back to the simpler times I loved so. Oh past decades and pixelly video games, I pine for you. 4. It's so wacky and ridiculous, it's great for when I just need some relaxing time. I have no idea why that is.
* I am not one of those people who has a list of favorite 'toons and quotes; they're all so awesome, I can't possibly play favorites. And I regularly work quotes into my everyday speech (regardless of context), so...yeah.

Homestar Runner's "Sid" Game

2008-08-29T22:11:35Z

Lucentas: Changing the second-person to not second-person. Also kinda rewording various stuff.

[[Image:hr_sid_game.PNG|thumb|Sid Hoffman, or Sid Frenchman?]]

'''Homestar Runner's "Sid" Game''' is a game from the [[Strong Bad Email]] "[[date]]". It was demonstrated by [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] to [[Marzipan]]. Homestar asks what he's going to say next: either "Sid Hoffman" or "Sid Frenchman". If the correct answer is guessed, one point is awarded. You can access it by clicking the words 'that game' in the email.

Originally, if 20 points were earned in the game, it would display a "prize" — an image of Strong Bad on his computer with an "M" on it. It may have been a glitch or an unfinished Easter egg, and has since been fixed/removed; the game now continues indefinitely, with no prize or ending.

==Fun Facts==
*To cheat, click both buttons in either order after the question. A point will be earned regardless of which answer Homestar gives. Clicking the correct button after Homestar begins saying the last name will also win the point (this can also be used to change a correct answer to an incorrect answer).

Deliberately Poor English

2008-08-23T19:43:31Z

Lucentas: Thought I'd clarify a bit...

[[Image:gameoverstummyhurts.png|thumb|Bad English these is.]]
'''Poor English''' is often deliberately used, particularly in relation to video games, which historically have been poorly translated into English from Japanese while localizing the games for the North American market.

== Video game-related appearances ==
*[[Population: Tire]] — The game's premise contains several instances of poor English, including "YOU ARE SOLDIER!" and "YOU ONE ARE OF BRAVE FEW".
*[[Thy Dungeonman]] — If the player beats the game, the game gives a "congraturation".
*[[Videro Games]] — [[Strong Bad]] complains about difficult video games that only reward with "a hearty CONGRATURATION!"
*[[Stinkoman 20X6]] — This game has many instances of "[[Wikipedia:Engrish|Engrish]]", such as "My stummy hurts" (pluralized as "Our stummies hurts") which also counts as a [[portmanteau]], "Keep try", "Flash 7 or Hire", and "Start Play".
*[[Vector Strong Bad]] often uses poorly-translated lines like "YOUR HEAD A SPLODE!" He also pronounces "hello" as "HELLOTE" (seen in the email [[alternate universe]]).
*[[Sundae Drivin']] — As seen in the email [[redesign]], the game includes quotes like "CHERRY GET!" and "YOUR [[G|JAMES]] OVER".
*[[Where's an Egg?]] — The [[Some Type of Online Auction|auction]] for a page of the Russian instructions for this game contains poor English.
*[[SBCG4AP Dev Blog]] — Strong Bad wants his video game to say "GRAPHICS HAVE!" on the cover. An image also shows a picture of the game's box with the words "BOX IN!" on it.

== Other appearances ==
*[[Where My Hat Is At?]] — The title of the second book.
*Email [[little questions]] — Strong Bad replies with terrible grammar and fractured sentences to a poorly-written email from a Swede.
*Email [[english paper]] — Strong Bad spells English as "Englilsh" in the report's title, ridiculing the e-mail sender's spelling of the word.
*Email [[personal favorites]] — One of the sayings by the [[Grape Nuts Robot]] during the Easter egg at the end is "Now spell, 'Carp for brains'"; it really meant to say, "[[Crap]] [[For Brains|for brains]]".
*Email [[kids' book]] — In the book "Everyone Is Different," the page with the girl wearing glasses reads, "Some people wears glasses."
*Email [[caffeine]] — When the caffeine's effect start to wear off, [[Strong Sad]] says, "...salad...salad...as a rock?"
*Email [[isp]] — Homestar, as an insincere telephone recording, says "Thank you for holding. Your call is very unportant to us."
*Email [[different town]] — Strong Bad says "I think my imagination's broke".
*Email [[trading cards]] — When Strong Bad is describing The Cheat's trading card game, the phrase flashing on the screen is "PLAY GET!"
*Email [[strong badathlon]] — While advertising [[Minor Foods|Temporarios]], Strong Bad says, "'Cause I'm don't get paid!"
*Email [[business trip]] — After Homestar shows the King of Town his two Pork b/w Beans cans, Strong Bad says "What the sense-make?"
*Strong Bad's title at [[Crazy Go Nuts University]] is "Prinicpal".
*Email [[the bet]] — in a Easter Egg, There is a Advertisment for [[Butter-da]], where [[The King of Town]] says "they tell me not to, But I still Drinks it!"
*Email [[buried]] — In the [[Taranchula]] black metal detector commercial, Schenkel McDoo says "Maybe find some coin!"
*[[Senorial Day]] — [[Bubs]] says he can't remember his own "lins".
*Email [[redesign]] — Strong Bad says, "But I does!"
*[[SBCG4AP Gameplay Trailer]] — Homestar says, "Five episodes? Where do I buy them ats?"

== Welcome to HRWiki ==

Hi, Lucentas. I see you've been editing for a bit, but still, I thought I'd give you an official welcome to the wiki. Thanks for reverting at [[Coach Z's Locker Room]] earlier. It may have been vandalism or trolling, or it might have been a misguided good-faith edit (you'd be surprised at the theories some people come up with about Homestar Runner!) But anyway, it needed reverting, so you did well.

'''Coach Z's Locker Room''' is [[Coach Z]]'s office.

There was a rumor that Coach Z sleeps in one of the lockers, but Coach Z states in his [[Coach Z#Character Video Transcript|Character Video]] that he would usually "crash on [that] bench right [there]," which is proven in the toon [[A Jorb Well Done]]. Sleeping on the bench has led to his back being in poor condition.

According to [[Strong Bad]] (in the [[Fan Costume Commentary]]), Coach Z does have his own apartment (a "sty hole"). He also seems to have slept over at [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] at least once, as he was there late at night and dressed for bed in [[Date Nite]].

In [[Halloween Fairstival]], Coach Z turns it into a not-so-scary haunted "Locka-Room".

==Ditto==

Does Anyone know what a Ditto exam is? Does it refer to the ditto printer schools use? [[User:Physicsguymonsterman|Physicsguymonsterman]] 11:42, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
:I can only assume it is an exam where all the questions are nearly identical to past exams. i.e. a maths exam where they ask the same questions but with differnt numbers. This would not explain the meaning though. In addition to this section of the toon, it should be noted that the text on the "Exam" is in purple, not black. [[User:125.238.9.80|125.238.9.80]] 12:10, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

:Pretty sure it's a reference to the purple-ink copies made by a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirit_duplicator ditto machine.] Ditto machines are often confused with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimeograph mimeographs.] This would be an ultra low-tech contrast to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scantron Scantron] computer-read multiple choice test.

:I must be old. We used this term to describe an activity sheet that was given to the whole class. Most of the time it was just busy work, but sometimes tests were given from the "teacher's edition" of the textbook for that subject. We called them dittos because they were just mass copies. Of course, I also was a substitute teacher earlier last year, and the middle school kids had no idea what I was talking about when I said "here's a ditto to do", so maybe it's fallen out of common language by now.

:Exactly, it's copies of a worksheet (or test) made on a ditto machine, which is what schools had before copiers and printers got so affordable. The process was kind of like silkscreen printing. The ink was pale purplish-blue. It stank of some weird solvent, and when the pages were fresh they were heavy with an alien dampness.

The quarterback's song lyrics conceptually reminded me of Michelle Branch's "Everywhere". Does anyone else think that this is plausible? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 12:34, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

== Floating Time Line ==

Removed "*If the teens were all thirteen in the first issue, released December of 2002, then this would make them eighteen, making this their "actual" high school graduation." under remarks. I think that TGS, like all homestarrunner.com characters, are, mostly, in a floating time line. ([[User:Frazz|Frazz]] 14:25, 12 May 2008 (UTC))
: I left it in thinking that it was an interesting coincidence, but you're right. Heck, WHF even mentions returning to the school in September. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 14:27, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
:: Perhaps a possible "TGS: The College Years" ([[User:SDSpivey|SDSpivey]] 16:13, 12 May 2008 (UTC))
My remark on the age of the teen girls was deleted. My reasoning is this: If they were thirteen in 2002, then they would have been sixteen in 2005 for the sweet-somethingteen birthday party in TGS 10. It seems that, by intention or happenstance, the teen girls are actually following something of a coherent plotline. I think that pointing out the fact that they would be graduating high school is interesting and worth thinking about, if only because it means that the TGS will fail to qualify for the "T" in their title in a scant year. Dissent? {{unsigned|209.158.39.251|17:17, 12 May 2008 (UTC)}}
: I agree that they would be 18. Great Fun fact. it should be Stuff'd [[User:Physicsguymonsterman|Physicsguymonsterman]] 18:37, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
:: BTW, there's a flaw in the math. If they were thirteen in 2002, then they'd be '''NINETEEN''' now, not eighteen! It's been six years, and 13 + 6 = 19 last I checked. Anyway, note WHF's remark that she'd be returning in September. And note that, if they ''were'' eighteen now, What's Her Face [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 9|got her driver's license at the age of FOURTEEN]]. They have a flexible timeline and you're just reading too far into it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:00, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
:::Thirteen in December of 2002 means they would be TURNING eighteen in 2007. If their birthdays fall around Fall or Winter as implied by the timing of the somethingteen birthday party, they won't be nineteen until later this year.
:: Having said that, I notice that the argument could be made that they all turned thirteen sometime between May and December. That still doesn't excuse things like WHF's license at 14. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:03, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
:::We don't really know any of the laws and regulations of FCUSA. This is a case for Litigation Jackson.

::::::I was just about to say the same thing. Seeing as Strong Bad made the entire series up on a whim in one email from years ago, he probably doesn't care what age they are.

Woah. The way "canon" is defined in the Fun Facts is ''exactly'' what we're doing here at the Wiki. Probably not something to add to the article, but I just thought I'd bring that to attention. {{User:Superfield Credit Union/sig}}
:Kind of, but not really. We like to reconcile facts with in-universe explanations when we can, and we note when things don't quite line up from toon to toon, but overall we know that H*R canon is a very loose concept that TBC only take seriously when it's funny to do so. See the discussion on flexible time above. The Star Wars and Star Trek folks would have none of it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:18, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

== Larry Palaron-So and So? ==

Does anyone else think that when So and So says "But Mrs. Frillsneck, I studied for a standardized test!", especially the "standardized test" part, she sounds a bit like Larry from Limozeen? {{User:DevonM/sig}} 23:24, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
:nope... i mean, since the voices are all the same guy, a bit, but not more so than usual, no. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:51, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
:I concur...Matt does deliver the line using extremely similar intonation to much of Larry's dialogue, but I don't think it was a specific reference to Limozeen. Matt's done so many lines in so many voices, naturally there'll be a few lines of dialogue that, although spoken by different characters, sound alike. Aside from that, I think that they'd probably put a bigger Limozeen reference in there if it was intentional. [[User:Lucentas|Lucentas]] 00:34, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't think the cover of the site's FAQ should be included; the picture on the cover wasn't actually made by TBC, but was a piece of fan art they decided to use.

Perhaps "Misused Common Nouns" or something like that. Just shooting for accuracy here.

::::I was always under the impression that "Reinforcements" WAS his name--that way it was a hopelessly silly pun when the Commandos needed "reinforcements" and the guy NAMED Reinforcements showed up...as reinforcements. I dunno, just my two cents and my perception of the situation. Does anyone else think this might be the case, though? [[User:Lucentas|Lucentas]] 02:17, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

==Other Possible Examples==
A few more suggestions for Nondescript Nouns: In [[dullard]], Homestar mentions "Popular Reality Show", and in [[other days]] he brags about his frag-count in "Online Gaming". [[User:Andyroid|Andyroid]] 01:31, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
:Yes, I noticed that...Interesting thought. I'll put it up (with credit to you). {{User:Einstein runner/sig}} 22:09, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

== Good page, common joke ==

but...it needs a better title. May I throw out a few suggestions: "Nonspecific Nouns" would better cover the instances of common nouns being used as proper nouns, but the other "errors" (misused countable/uncountable nouns, lack of determiners/prepositions/etc...) aren't really covered there. Perhaps "Misused Common Nouns" or something like that. Just shooting for accuracy here.

== Songs? ==

What about [[Songs|songs]] with uber-generic titles? Like [[Secret Song]] and [[isp|The Hold Music]]? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:37, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

:The Hold Music is not a canon name. Secret Song, mebbe. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:55, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

:: Perhaps, but what else would the title be? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:03, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
:::We don't know. "The Powers Of French Bread?" "After I Wash My Toes?" "With A Little Blob Of Mayo?" They're all possible, eh? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:13, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
::::That's a little non-sequitur-ish, even for Homestar. I mean, how many H*R songs with known titles don't actually have the title or a derivative thereof in the lyrics? Only one I can think of offhand is [[rock opera]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:17, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
:::::Nonetheless, it's speculation. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:20, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

== Homestar/Waiter ==

I think [[Date Nite]] should be listed either here or in [[Jumbled Words]], but not both. It can't be an instance of two running gags at once--either Homestar meant to say his name was "Waiter" because he couldn't think of a better fake name, or he meant to say "My name is Homestar and I will be your waiter" but got confused and jumbled it around. What do y'all think? [[User:So makey outy|So makey outy]] 17:50, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

== Band Name ==

When I watched the toon, I thought those boys were asking people to help them write a band name, not conversing about a band called "band name." Does anyone agree with me or is it gonna stay? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 22:51, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
:It's going to stay. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 23:38, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

== Falling Asleep on the Couch Watching Football Bowl ==

== Museum Sketchbook ==

Would it be OK if someone moved the bottom section of this page to something like [[Sketchbook (Museum)]]? This page takes far too long to load on a dial-up internet connection. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 06:24, 9th of March 2005

:Hmm, I like keeping the museum ones here on the [[Sketchbook]] page, and instead moving the weekly sketchbook ones to a [[Weekly Sketchbook]] page. This would match our [[Weekly Fanstuff]] page. Any one else agree?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 10:20, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

::Actually, I like that idea, better than my own as well. Weekly Sketchbook matches the rest of the weekly updates, and is probably easier to change the links for. The only reason I suggested Sketchbook (Museum) was because I thought less pages linked/would link to it. But Weekly Sketchbook sounds great. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 18:08, 9 Mar 2005 (GMT)

:::Done, see [[Weekly Sketchbook]]. I fixed all the links as well.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:48, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

''Note: The following is a copy/paste from the old Talk page''
Just a quick question. Who's gonna keep up with updating stuff like this? I know we're all busy with simply moving crap from there to here, but I dunne wanna lose anything that could be added, ya know? I'd update it myself, but I do most my wikistuff at work, so I can't make screenshots at all. -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 15:15, 19 Aug 2004 (MST)

:Yeah, I can do that tonight. I think I'll come up with a better format too. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:30, 19 Aug 2004 (MST)

== Fun facts? ==

Is there room for a fun facts section on this page? The Tetherball'd TTGS death is a possible reference to the first season of South Park, when Kenny died in the exact same way. --[[User:Southpaw018|Southpaw018]] 18:46, 11 Nov 2004 (MST)

:Second'd this is extremly long already. But you can make a different aritcle and THEN put the link onto here. [[User:Sbmaniac|Sbmaniac]]

== "Tableization" ==

I'm glad there's finally a table for this section (as well as the weekly fanstuff.) The images being different sizes before the tables wasn't a necessarily a bad thing, I just thought it detracted from the page slightly. The use of tables did force those images that were on other sites (namely photobucket) to be uploaded to the wiki, which is a plus. I think must of us can agree that it looks better than before.
--[[User:The Paper|Teh P.]] 22:19, 11 Nov 2004 (MST)

With the introduction of the tables, I'm glad this image finally surfaced. I almost lost hope in that image ever being recovered, as it was the only image that I thought was never POSTERITY'd!! Due credit to [[User:Tom|Tom]].

== Message to [[TBC]] from [[Jonathan Howe]] ==

Be sure to view the XML source of this file:
[http://www.homestarrunner.com/weeklies/weeklies.xml]

:I learned about this XML file when I was poking through these flash files: [http://www.homestarrunner.com/fanstuff.swf] & [http://www.homestarrunner.com/sketchbook.swf] when I found I couldn't view the image or the text when those two preceding files are saved remotely (i.e., on a hard drive.) '''Jonathan''' (I assume his last name is Howe, as he is a programmer) has left a message in a comment to the "'''Chapos'''" about the placement of certain "character shortcuts." He more or less 'signs' the comment with the words "Love, jonathan." I just found this rather amusing. Does anyone else? --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]] 20:37, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)

== Halloween Costumes ==

If anyone can identify some of those halloween costumes from the museum sketchbook, (the last sketch), feel free to enter their names into the rollover title at the appropriate place saver. I can't really think of anything better at the moment, maybe I'll add them to the [[Halloween Costumes]] section or something later. Thanks. [[User:Thunderbird L17|''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'']] 12:12, 30 Dec 2004 (MST)

== Images with Subtitles ==

Shouldn't the images for the Sketchbook and Fanstuff ''not'' have the captions with them? If not, the "Title" column is pretty much useless. --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 21:24, 17 Feb 2005 (MST)

It does seem redundant. It is easier to remove the "title" column, but then that text can not be found during a search. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 23:14, 17 Feb 2005 (MST)

:Since the very beginning, we've always treated the text and image as one. That's how they appear, so that's how we've been reproducing them. And the additional text is for better searching. I do notice, however, that the [[Sketchbook]] article lacks the interesting descriptions the [[Weekly Fanstuff]] page affords.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:57, 19 Feb 2005 (MST)

==Moving the page==

Shouldn't this still be under simply a 'Sketchbook' page title? Perhaps it would make more sense to move The Museum Sketchbook to just that, a 'Museum Sketchbook' page or something. I mean, when you roll over the button on the main page, all that pops up under it is just 'Sketchbook'. We're not going to change the name of 'Quote of the Week' to just 'Weekly Quote' are we?

:Er, good point. So you're thinking we should move Weekly Sketchbook --> Sketchbook and Sketchbook --> Museum Sketchbook.

::::::It should be easy, since I went through and made sure all the links were correct for the first move. I would change all the "Sketchbook" links to "Museum Sketchbook" first, then move "Sketchbook" to "Museum Sketchbook".

That compy looks like an Apple II to me (and I found the "vlin" thing on an Apple II page). {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 17:47, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::::I've seen that PC before... Isn't that the one from [[Peasant's Quest Preview]]? Or is it the one from [[Puppet Time]]? --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 18:55, 7 October 2005 (BST)
:::::Okay, I updated the page with the info Coder found. And if anybody could zoom in and read that floppy or anything, that would be awsome. And after careful cross-scruiteny, it appears that the computer used in the Sketchbook is indeed the same used by the [[Videlectrix]] people, even on the same desk. The one difference is that the logo on the keyboard (I think it was the Apple logo) is strangely absent from the [[Videlectrix]] photo. Most likely to avoid any possible legal problems and simplify it up, since they were photoshopping the [[Peasant's Quest]] image onto the screen anyways. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 18:43, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Consistency in dates ==

I just noticed that the date abbreviations in this page are not consistent. In general I have seen pages use 3 letter abbreviations. This is the case for most months here except: Sept, June (listed as both June and Jun) and April (also listed as Apr). I suggest that we make them all be 3 character abbreviations no more. Sounds good? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 23:15, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

== Mixed-up pictures ==

There's something wrong with my computer or something like that. In the Sketchbook window, I see the words "homestar ice crusher", but from there up it's the old picture of Strong Mad holding his mystical orbs.

:A lot of users have been commenting on similar mysterious problems, and it likely surrounds your page cache and what cached version of what your browser is loading.

== Commas vs. Periods ==

I'll grant that commas and periods are barely distinguishable from each other in the caption font. But you can tell the difference by looking very closely. Commas have the smallest tail imaginable. Compare:

[http://www.hrwiki.org/images/e/e9/20060119_sketchbook_orbs_up_yo.PNG orbs up, yo] 
[http://www.hrwiki.org/images/7/79/20060209_sketchbook_nice_inking_mike.PNG nice inking, mike] 
[http://www.hrwiki.org/images/8/81/20060216_sketchbook_none_shall_pass_eww.PNG none shall pass! eww.]

If you cannot see a slight dip (just a pixel or two) in the comma images, copy all three of them to MS Paint (or whatever), zoom in, and compare the commas and periods. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:53, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

== poopertrooper? ==

On the page, it says "poopertrooper" is a reference to Super Troopers. I think it's more likely it's a refernce to pooper scoopers. -[[User:Exhibit A|Exhibit A]] 23:39, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
:I thought of "pooper scooper" when I first saw it. Super Troopers, to me, seems a lot more unlikely. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 00:06, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[[IMDB:tt0247745|Super Troopers]] is a movie about state troopers, who's uniform is nowhere near to what the poopsmith wears. In science fiction, stromtroopers dress in a similar way to The Poopsmith. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 14:34, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
:There is no way storm troopers has any relevance here.

I vote Super Troopers. Its about police. The stormtrooper Poopsmith is obviously a form of police. Referencing pooperscoopers makes *no* contextual sense. I'm changing it back. [[User:Piscez]]

:Here's what bugs me. When you say, "this '''is''' a reference to..." you are stating something is fact. In this case, we all have our opinions, and each think ours are correct. The fact '''is''' that none of were there when TBC sketched this out and don't have a flippin' clue what they were refering to. Therefore, I propose the following revision:
==== Pooper Trooper Scooper Dooper Blooper ====
Sketches of [[The Poopsmith]] as a trooper, for [[disconnected]]. The caption could be a reference to the device [[Wikipedia:pooper-scooper|pooper-scoopers]], the movie [[Wikipedia:Super_Troopers|Super Troopers]], the [[wikipedia:Mario|Super Mario Brothers']] [[Wikipedia:Koopa|Koopa Troopas]], or the [[wikipedia:George_Lucas|George Lucas']] [[Wikipedia:Stormtroopers|stormtroopers]].

{{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 12:44, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

In general, users here seem to think "refers to" means "resembles". IRF is right; only TBC know for sure about what's a reference. Some are obvious, but I'm sure there are a lot of references we'll never get. And then there are a lot of things that resemble other things but TBC never were trying to refer to that thing. I think as a knowledge base we need to be a bit more conservative in how we decide references. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 12:50, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

''Stormtroopers'' seems the most obvious reference. Not the George Lucas kind, but rather the Hitler/Orwell kind. (Those of you who are still somewhat whippersnapperesque should be aware that the term predated ''Star Wars'' by a great many years.) Most of the other suggested references seem to be simple attempts to match up same or similar sounding words, rather than considering the actual ''context''. {{User:Bill/sig}} 17:03, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

:Storm troopers is what I was saying all along. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:32, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

ok then ''Sketches of [[The Poopsmith]] as a trooper, for [[disconnected]]. The caption could be a reference to the device [[Wikipedia:pooper-scooper|pooper-scoopers]], the movie [[Wikipedia:Super_Troopers|Super Troopers]], the [[wikipedia:Mario|Super Mario Brothers']] [[Wikipedia:Koopa|Koopa Troopas]], or [[Wikipedia:Stormtroopers|stormtroopers]] (from [[wikipedia:World_War_I|WWI]]).''

either way, its still spec at best, and in response to Bill, the usage of pooper cannot be ignored why else would TBC go from The Poopsmith to pooper if not trying to make a ryhme such as Super Trooper or refer to the legendary pooper scooper. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 17:48, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
:For the rhyme, perhaps. Just because the rhyme is funny. Doesn't have to be a reference to pooper or super. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 17:54, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

My two cents: Pooper Scooper and Stormtrooper are both meaningful enough to be included. "Super Trooper" and "Koopa Troopa" are both based on "Stormtrooper" and, thus, unnecessary. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:05, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Ahem. I would Like to add at this point that the Koopa Troopas were the second most common enemies (next to goombas) in the original Super Mario Bros., which came out BEFORE Star Wars: A New Hope. So if anything, Stormtroopers are based off of Koopa Troopas. (Very, very unlikely.) --{{User:The very strongest}} 12:35, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

:See my retraction above, storm troopers is a term that refers to certain soldiers at the end of WWI, which is pre-television. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 21:28, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

I like your idea, I R F, I vote that we go with that one. - [[User:Volbeat A The Cheat|Volbeat A The Cheat]] 04:36, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

== Super Suudsu Me ==

Feels like the 5-month-old suudsu is a reference to the French fry aging experiment in [[Wikipedia:Super Size Me|Super Size Me]].

:I haven't seen it either, but the fact that this was posted five months to the day after [[bedtime story]] was released says to me that nobody actually ''drank'' the suudsu or dumped it out, and it's just been sitting there.

And by then it's covered with mold and he's got to shoo a [[Gavin|roach]] or two away from it before he touches it.

== The Bendy Hop ==

It's really not a big deal, but I feel confident enough about it to post a comment on this talk page. I think that the "bendy hop" is a particular reference to the [[Wikipedia:Lindy Hop|lindy hop]], for the following reasons: (1) the titles differ only by two letters, (2) Coach Z's pose looks strongly like a typical swing/jazz dance step, of which the Lindy Hop is probably the most famous.

It was suggested that this might be more likely a reference to the [http://www.ehow.com/how_15790_bunny-hop.html bunny hop], but I question this, for the following reasons: this dance is less well-known (I base this, perhaps unjustly, on the relative size of the Wikipedia articles), and Coach Z's pose doesn't resemble the dance steps as described in the above link. (The bunny hop is a line dance involving other people and focuses on foot steps but not arm movements.) If we can rule out the bunny hop, then I don't think this fact is TTATOT, unless other candidates for "that" and "the other thing" exist.

Again, it won't break my heart if this fact is not changed back to my version, but I really do think that this is a particular reference to the lindy hop. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 01:09, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

:When I first saw the Sketchbook item and was preparing the screencap, I considered including the reference to a particular dance. But with the Lindy Ho, the Bunny Hop, and the classic song "At The Hop", and I'm sure others, I could not allow myself to attach the dance to any particular one of those. We can never know which one was the reference. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:01, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

== "In a river of whatsit"? ==

Thats not correct at all! Come on people what is whatsit a euphamism of?
:there seems to be some disagreement over whether the whatsit refers to his situation (like "I'm in deep whatsit") or the actual composition of that river.. All I know is.. eew..

:: seems to me that the only disagreement would be with people who have never heard the informal military expression 'in the "whatsit"'; or at the very least people who have never been, as fightgar apparently is in this drawing, 'in the "whatsit"' themselves. It's figurative. He may indeed be in a river of 'whatsit', but he is also (and this is what the BC mean) figuratively 'in the "whatsit"', as both his expression and the flames shooting out of his weapon clearly indicate to anyone familiar with the expression, 'in the "whatsit"'. I mean, come on, who has never heard that expression? Ask a soldier; even a wannabe soldier.

== What kind of gun is Fighthar using? ==

When I saw the picture I couldn't help but wonder. I started looking up gun types to draw a conclusion, and when I did, I realized my (work?) shouldn't go to waste, so I'd better post the firearm I settled on here. I don't really expect a response, as the title would suggest. Anyway, my guess is a suppressed folded-stock AKS-47. [[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 19:32, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

It's a mishmash rich-tapestry cartoon-gun. The only think it has in common with any Kalashnikov (like your AKS-47 or 74) is the curved magazine. The guard on the barrel is from a machine gun like a .30 Browning, but the only thing with that type of guard that is even consistent with the size of what Fightgar is holding is the cheapo Tek-9 SMG used by every terrorist or drug dealer's henchman in every American action film in the 80s. I have to say, (not because I'm in the NRA (I'm not) or 'love guns' (I don't) or anything, but because I'm a writer and a former infantry soldier. . . there. . . I apologized for knowing about guns) I know guns, and that is not any gun on the face of the earth. It *is* a pretty neat looking cartoon gun though.

Yea, I thought that too. Though it could just be some other dinosaur's half-skeleton. --[[User:71.113.62.14|71.113.62.14]] 18:11, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

The conclusions we're drawing about Homeschool winner, and how it's a reference to that Sample of style toon seems like a stretch to me. I'm not convinced it's even supposed to be him.
On a related note, I see that death was already linked. My mistake. I'm sure it'll get resolved though. -[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 19:27, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
:Ok, maybe the reference to Sample of Style I made was a little stretchy. Buy I '''do''' think this is Homeschool. Just look at that overbite and elongated skull. It's unmistakable. So I just drew the conclusion that "dead + Homeschool = Sample of Style". I could be wrong, this is up for debate, but there is no way that this is not Homeschool Winner. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 19:57, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
::i concur re: homeschool winner, and although i wouldn't insist on it, i can understand where the sample of style connection can be made ---[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman (Neumannz)]] 20:30, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
:::Nonetheless, he should not be listed in the cast, as he's simply in a picture. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:06, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
::::In my defense, this thread was about his appearance, and my question was about the connection to [[sample of style]] but yes, in retrospect, it could easily have gone here. -[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]]

== Different Town tie-in? ==

Should there be an inside reference about the "box filled up with peas" in the picture and how it was mentioned in [[different town]]? If so, what needs to be said about it?
--[[User:Bobsmith84|Bobsmith84]] 18:24, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
:Oh! Good eye! I wondered what that cube was. But if it's peas, why does KoT want to eat it? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 18:39, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
::it's not the box he wants to eat, it's the layers of earth. the box is just the trigger associated with the KWOT --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman (Neumannz)]] 18:48, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

== Nickelodeon game-show reference? ==

I remember watching game shows on Nickelodeon when I was a kid, and metal detectors were often awarded as prizes on one of them. Does anyone else remember this? And more importantly, does anyone else remember what show? (I'm thinking [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Dare_%281986_game_show%29 Double Dare]. Or was it more than one show that did this?)

There's a "Real World Reference" in this somewhere, I just can't quite pin it down. Anyone?
--[[User:Bobsmith84|Bobsmith84]] 19:21, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

:Well, after some googling, best I could come up with was [http://www.dragons-lair-project.com/community/related/starcade/ Starcade], which I've never personally heard of, but it sounds right up TBC's alley. The article says they had metal detectors as prizes. (ETA: oops, forgot to sign) --[[Image:qod_22_-_reynold.PNG|20px]] [[User:Lelila|lelila]] [[User_talk:Lelila|(talk)]] 20:17, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

== Goof ==

The "rent out the dirt" button still is "tab-enter"-able after the first line and a half or so of the next lappy typing screen. --[[User:205.213.123.129|205.213.123.129]] 19:09, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

== Deja Vu Music? ==
I could swear that the background music heard during the Taranchula metal-detector consolation-prize cutaway is from another Homestar toon. Can anyone put a name on it so we can use it as an inside reference? 20:35, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

== Inside reference? ==

Does this really count as an inside reference?

*Bubs seems to be hiding the death of some fellow named Rich, whose coffin can be seen at the end of the email.

I was of the opinion that it had to be from a separate toon, and if so, where should it go? [[User:DumbMuscle|DumbMuscle]] 22:00, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
:Because death is a recurring element/gag in some toons. The [[death]] page ties all appearances of death together in a list. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:03, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

==Illustration / Dr. Seuss==

The illustration looks like Whoville. {{unsigned|Awexome|22:07, 3 March 2008 (UTC)}} 22:07, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

I think we need to reach some consencus about if Strong Bad's ending drawing is a reference to Dr. Seuss. It wasn't the 1st thing that came to ''my'' mind when I watched the email. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 22:15, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
:It wasn't ''any'' thing that came to mind upon seeing it, even after hearing the fact. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:18, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
::The primitive buildings look like those of Whoville. [[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 22:31, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
:::I don't agree - they look like all sorts of fancy buildings. Ima say no reference. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:33, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
::::I had a few Seuss books in my time, but never anything with this type of drawing. If this it's best if the person suggesting the fact brings up a comparative image. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 22:36, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::After seeing it again, I'll have to say it's more the urban outro of Sesame Street, with the dancing NYC skyline. [[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 00:58, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

== Parents ==

*Strong Bad believes that his parents are aliens in this email, but he showed us a picture of his parents (even if it was hidden by [[Le Restige]]) in [[the chair]].

However, the picture just says "nice try dodongo". It is possible he does not know who his parents truly are, which might explain his reluctance to discuss them. Of course, that's entirely speculatory, but this remark seems to say that Strong Bad was seriously showing us a picture of his parents when I think evidence suggests he was not. Not certain how to reword. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:13, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
:I think the "nice try, dodongo" is only there for the viewers. It's a TBC trick, not a Strong Bad trick. Strong Bad seriously WAS showing us a picture of his parents; it was blocked by the chair's back. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:17, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
:It certainly seems to me that deliberately did that because he knew that we wouldn't see what he was doing/showing. "nice try, dodongo" is obviously aimed at people who might try Flash decompiling though. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 22:20, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
::Strong Bad says in this email "my parents are REALLY..." which means that even though he knows (knew?) who his parents are, they were probably adoptive -[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]]

== McDoo & Videlectrix ==

not entirely sure this is Talk worthy, but does anyone else see the resemblance b/t mcdoo (i am not bothering w/ his first name) and one of the videlectrix guys? well, yeah, they're both [[Matt Chapman|Matt]], but mcdoo is just the videlectrix guy with a wig. the reason i bring it up is because of his appearance with the videlectrix kidx MD ---[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman (Neumannz)]] 22:20, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
:Hmm. If there's anything notable, it'd be notable on [[Taranchula]], not here, as that's always how he looks. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:35, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

==Cocoon==

The cocoon looks like those from Invader Zim [[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 00:59, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

== Pascual Perez & Atlanta ==

While checking his Wikipedia page, I see that Pascual Perez was not just a major league pitcher (which I knew offhand), but was a former All-Star and that his one All-Star appearance was with the Atlanta Braves. Given TBC's desire to make Atlanta the center of the known universe (j/k), is it worth including the Atlanta connection in the "Real-World Reference"? -- TJDevil02
:I think it's relevant, especially since he played for the Braves from 1982 to 1985, during their baseball-loving childhoods. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:48, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

== Paper Detector ==

Is it worth mentioning that the metal detector appears to detect a piece of paper with a chicken nugget in it, while neither of those is metal? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:14, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
:No, that's just a piece of tin foil with a picture Strong Mad drew of you when you were little. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:47, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Strong Bad Wearing a Shirt

Lucentas: Categorized many of the entries. Feel free to edit as you see fit; I just wanted to start the thing off.

Talk:Strong Bad Wearing a Shirt

Lucentas:

== Title Case ==

What's our standard for title case ... do we capitalise "a" and "the"? I thought we didn't, in which case, this should be moved to [[Strong Bad Wearing a Shirt]]. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 18:45, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

== Group by topic ==

This page has so many examples, I think it would be prudent to group them by topic. For example, Strong Bad is apparently required to wear a shirt at work, and so a lot of these examples fall in that category. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:03, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
