===Remarks===
*Coach Z pronounces "Cheat" correctly, and then incorrectly.
*This is the first episode of ''SBCG4AP'' for the included [[Teen Girl Squad]] not to be created via the player's input.
*The nailed-shut door in Marzipan's house initially appeared in [[Quality Time]], where it was just a closet. Here, it is declared to lead to the kitchen.
*This is the first episode of ''SBCG4AP'' in which the Poopsmith does not physically appear.
*One of the Awesomeness points in ''[[Strong Badia the Free]]'' involved setting the clothes on Strong Bad's bed on fire. In this episode, however, attempting to do so will have him remark that they're not flammable.

===Goofs===
*The preview included with ''Strong Badia the Free'' does not include any subtitles for Coach Z's rap.
*Strong Bad misspells his own name as "Strongbad" several times when answering the in-game emails.

===Glitches===
* Sometimes, when pulling out your map, a map icon will still be shown after you switch to the "How Awesome I am" chart.
====Wii Version====
*In extended play, continuing to use the "Do the Wigglie" record on Pom Pom's turntable will earn you each Limozeen manual cover one after another. 

===Inside References===
*This is another appearance of [[Kicking The Cheat]].
*Strong Bad refers to his FunMachine as [[Senor]] FunMachine.
*Strong Sad has a [[Hollerin' Jimmy's Hobby Kit|Hollerin' Jimmy's Bat Hutch]] and a [[West Is Lip]] poster in his room.
*Strong Bad asks Strong Sad how he got the fake sword out of Pompomerania, which reflects upon the events of Strong Badia The Free.
*Strong Bad offers Homestar Runner "total stardom", the same thing [[Thorax Corporation]] tries to sell.
*Examining the cable attached to the speakers on the DÖI stage will cause Strong Bad to lament that this has become an obstacle in an episode without hedge shears, swords, or [[nunchuck]] [[guns]]. He used hedge shears in ''[[Homestar Ruiner]]'' and a sword in ''[[Strong Badia the Free]]''. And although ''[[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]]'' (the next episode) is not yet out, Dangeresque used a nunchuck gun in [[dangeresque 3]].
*Wade from Bat-Aid refers to Marzipan once as "[[Melissa Palmer|Melissa-pan]]".
*Bubs claims he built the stages with [[No Hands On Deck!|galvanized nails]].
*[[The Poopsmith]] and [[Senor Cardgage]] are among the candidates being considered as Pom Pom's singer.
**[[The Poopsmith]] is wearing the same suit in Pom Pom's picture as he does in the email [[senior prom]].
*Strong Bad tells The Cheat, "Don't forget to [[wear a bikini!]]"

*The line Strong Bad sings for "Quit" is based off "Don't Stop Believing" by [[Wikipedia:Journey_(band)|Journey]].
*Strong Bad calls Strong Sad "[[Wikipedia:Sister Christian|Sister Christian]]". He also refers to him as "[[Wikipedia:Rocket to Russia|Teenage Lobotomy]]".

*The cover art and lyrics for "Hugo Left Me" are based on [[Wikipedia:Les Misérables|''Les Misérables'']], originally written by Victor Hugo. The album says it's by "The Frollos"; Frollo was a character in one of Hugo's other works, ''[[Wikipedia:The Hunchback of Notre Dame|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]''.
*Strong Bad's declaration of "One Fish, Two Fish, Starfish, Carfish" and the subsequent dialogue references [[Wikipedia: One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish|''One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish'']] by [[Dr. Seuss]].

Mathgrant: Added Baddest of the Bands

[[Image:Wearabikini.PNG|thumb|right|220px|Bikinis for all!]]
'''"Wear a Bikini!"''' is the slogan towed behind planes and ships on certain [[Main Pages]], and the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[island]]. As such, it is an answer to Question Three of the [[Homestar Quiz]]. In [[Main Page 23]], it appears on the back of [[Strong Sad]]'s "floating head of doom". Its larger significance is lost on most, as any deeper meaning to this encouragement to wear a two-piece bathing suit has not been revealed by [[The Brothers Chaps]]. A variation on this joke is seen in [[looking old]] where a plane with a banner carries the slogan "Wear a [[Diaper]]!".

Mathgrant: /* Biography */ Seventy thousand dollars dollars?

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

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

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

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

He has boxing gloves for hands (which always have square window reflections on them, no matter where he is), and a [[Wikipedia:Lucha libre|lucha libre]] mask for a head (as confirmed in [[some kinda robot]]). Although he claims that his mask is his face, he once removed it in the [[the chair]], which caused him a lot of pain. His mouth is rectangular, though it often becomes round when he says words with the letter "o". Most of the time, Strong Bad's mouth is in a slight frown, but there are occasions where he [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]]. The blue diamond on his face also gives him the power to mentally open [[Cold One]]s and even pop Homestar's hat off his head; however, this seems to have been abandoned, as it was only demonstrated in [[super powers]]. Strong Bad rules the land of [[Strong Badia]], a barren field behind the [[Wikipedia:Dumpster (term)|dumpsters]] that is completely devoid of any sentient life. His favorite saying is (or was for a time) "[[Crap|holy crap]]", though he hates when people use the word crap when [[Crapfully Yours|signing emails]]. He frequently mangles words, as seen in [[army]]. ("We're a one man army. Er, a three man one-y. [[Three-to-One Marny|Three-to-one-marny]]?") It has also been [[road trip|implied]] that he wets the bed, a fact that he attempts to [[Blatant Lies|cover up]] with little success. However, he seems to sleep instead on the couch in his [[Strong Bad's Basement|basement]], frequently mumbling video game titles as he wakes surrounded by bags of [[Potate]].

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

He loves to listen to [[Limozeen]], [[Taranchula]], and [[Peter Frampton]]. He seems to dislike any band that isn't considered [[Heavy Metal|metal]], as seen towards the end of [[concert]]. His favorite show is [[Caleb Rentpayer]]. He also enjoys doing [[caper|Jumble puzzles]] and [[The Interview|baking]]. His love for [[Strong Bad's Technology|older technology]] such as cassette tapes, command prompt computers, old video games and laserdiscs, and the titles of events such as "[[monster truck|Awexome Cross '98]]", and "[[TrogdorCon '97]]" suggest that Strong Bad is "stuck in the '90s". Despite his love of the nineties, he seems to despise and destroy anything from any previous decade, like [[Wikipedia:8-track cartridge|8-Tracks]], TVs that lost their essence in the '70s, and the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|Nintendo Entertainment System]].

[[Image:Baby strong bad.png|thumb|"That freakin' duck swallowed both my pixels!"]]
Strong Bad has sung many hit singles, his most popular being "[[Everybody to the Limit]]". He also stars as the protagonist in the blockbuster action series "[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]".

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Checkin' checkin' emails in 2008! Checkin' checkin' Strong Bad fit to regulate! ''{brings up the email}''

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

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

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

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

''{cut back to the Lappy}''

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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the—?

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

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

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

''{medium shot of Marzipan}''

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

''{close up of Strong Bad}''

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

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

'''STRONG SAD:''' Three days.

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

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

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

''{close up of Strong Bad}''

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

''{medium shot of Marzipan}''

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

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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing in the list}'' tuckus ''{presses enter}'' hinders ''{presses enter}'' bwathom ''{presses enter}'' boontockle ''{presses enter}''

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

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

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

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

''{cut back to The Field}''

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

''{close up of Strong Bad}''

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

''{medium shot of Marzipan}''

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

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

'''COACH Z:''' Ah, the world famous Coach Z Sog Dog. ''{words appear on the screen as he says it}'' Mmmm... Drink In That Bun!

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

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

''{cut back to all three}''

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

''{medium shot of Strong Sad}''

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

''{medium shot of Marzipan}''

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

''{close up of Strong Bad}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{still trying to play his Atari 2600 game}'' This is the easiest video game I've ever played.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The exclamation "Al Gore's beard!" is reference to former vice president and noted environmental activist [[Wikipedia:Al Gore|Al Gore]], who after losing the 2000 presidential campaign famously grew a beard and went into seclusion for a short period of time before refocusing on the environment.

*Strong Bad claims that his monthly power bill is $70,000. Assuming that he pays the US national average price of [http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/electricity/epm/table5_6_a.html 9.86¢/kWh], that would mean that he uses approximately 709,939.14 kWh/month. This would be roughly 799 times more than the average usage of [http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/reps/enduse/er01_us.html 888 kWh/month] per US household.

===Remarks===
*Though the email senders say they are from Idaho and Missouri (ID and MO), the Easter egg shows the states Idaho and Montana (ID and MT).

===Goofs===
*At the end of the email, Lappy's "Environmentally Compliant Sticker" sticker has inexplicably disappeared.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad claims he begins each day by "[[Not X|NOT]] dropping a piano on Marzipan".
*The window above the computer desk was last seen in [[cheat talk]] and the CGI portion of [[strongbad_email.exe Disc One|Disc 1]] of the [[strongbad_email.exe|Strong Bad Email DVD]].
*Marzipan and Strong Sad previously behaved as a team of environmental activists, as related on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 14.2]]. The phrase "100% post-consumer" also appeared there.
*Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]] when he announces for his eco-friendly piano.

'''Page Title:''' Brundo the Decemberween Yak and the Sword of St. Olaf

==Transcript==
''{Front view of the downstairs TV, a Christmas special plays on the TV. The characters appear to be made of felt, and the trees are holiday snack cakes. We see Brundo as tears fall from his eyes.}''

'''BRUNDO:''' ''{dejected}'' Oh, I lost all my magics.

'''ELF:''' Don't you see? The magic of Decemberween is inside everyone!

''{The TV cuts to a shot of a Sheriff, with Brundo and the Elf visible in the background.}''

'''SHERIFF:''' And so they returned the sword of St. Olaf to its rightful owner, and discovered the true meaning of Decemberween. Buh-buh-buh-buh-bye, kids!

''{Sheriff exits the scene, cut to a blue screen with snowflakes on it, as "The End!" appears on the screen.}''

''{Cut to a view of [[The Couch]], with every main character (except Homsar and Bubs) sitting on or around it.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Can someone please explain again what a mystical sword has to do with Decemberween?

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar sitting on the floor.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You heard that nasty ol' puppet! The magic of Decemberween is inside all of us!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, sitting on the couch with Strong Sad behind him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, that's not what Decemberween's all about!

'''STRONG SAD:''' And I suppose ''you're'' gonna to tell us—

''{Cut back to the view of the whole couch.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll tell you what Decemberween is all about!<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' ... what Decemberween is all about.

''{Stong Bad begins singing, accompanied by music, doing hand motions as he sings.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Singing}'' It happens each Decemberween though some would say it doesn't.<br />The best thing that you've ever seen, even better than your hot cousin!

''{Music stops.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{talking normally}'' Better than Deborah?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{talking normally}'' Oh, maybe not better than Deborah. ''{slower and more sultry}'' Ooh, Deborah.

''{Music continues.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I'm talking about a magic man, who defies the laws of physics.<br />He turns Decemberween into ''DeTHember''ween!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Tell us, man, who is it?

'''STRONG BAD:''' He's the Dethemberween Thnikkaman, and he'll make your dreams come true.<br />No, there ain't no beatin' that holiday feelin', when he says "Shut up" to you.

'''THE THNIKKAMAN:''' ''{speaking normally}'' Yeah, shut up, kid!

'''STRONG BAD:''' When the sun goes down, he creeps into town, and borrows your hedge clippers.<br />And while you're sleeping, safe and sound, he puts blank media in your slippers!

'''COACH Z:''' ''{talking normally}'' It was 8-Tracks in my day!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sometimes he'll cold call random kids with discount travel packages!

'''THE THNIKKAMAN:''' ''{speaking unintelligibly}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{talking}'' Las Vegas? For 20 dollars a night? Thanks, Dethemberween Thnikkaman!

'''THE THNIKKAMAN:''' ''{faintly and muffled}'' Yeah, shut up kid!

'''SHERIFF:''' Yes, he's the Dethemberween Thnikkaman. Flying through the night in an unmarked van. You never know what he'll bring us when you hear those high-pitched singers!

'''SINGERS:''' ''{singing}'' Here comes the Dethemberween Thnikkaman!

'''STRONG BAD:''' One, two, three!

'''ALL CHARACTERS:''' ''{singing}'' He's the Dethemberween Thnikkaman, oh, and he'll make your dreams come true! ''{Strong Mad sings only "Dethemberween", "make", "dreams", and "true".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Do-Do-La-Do-Do-Do-Doo!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Singing}'' There ain't no ceilin' on that holiday feelin',

'''ALL CHARACTERS:''' When he says "Shut up" to you!

''{Music ends. The Thnikkaman is seen flying across the sky in his van.}''

'''THE THNIKKAMAN:''' ''{his voice echoes}'' Yeah, shut up! To one and all o' dang y'all!

''{These words appear in the night sky, written in stars. They sparkle and fade. Pan downward to the main cast behind the brick wall.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, just so we're all on the same page here, we are just talking about Bubs with a piece of paper taped to his chest, right?... You guys?... Bubs?... Paper tape?... Anybody?...

''{With one final note, the words "yeah, shut up! to one and all o' dang y'all!" reappear in the sky, written in stars. The word "back" is written in cursive in the lower left corner.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on "dang" to play on the Homsar chimes.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Cold calling|Cold calling]] is the practice of making sales calls to potential customers who were not expecting one.
*<math>\mbox{DVD}\pm\div\sqrt{~~}~\mbox{RW}</math> is a play on [[Wikipedia:DVD±RW|DVD±RW]], a shorthand term for a DVD burner that handles both common types of recordable media.

===Trivia===
*The [[Telebision]] has been updated from its previous appearance.
*This is the first Decemberween toon not to have a title card.

===Remarks===
*The trees in the scenery of the television show are Little Debbie [http://www.littledebbie.com/products/ChristmasCakes.asp Christmas Tree Cakes].
*In the Easter egg, The Homsar chimes play G, F, E, and D from left to right, which correspond to the tonal 5, 4, 3, and 2 in the key of the toon's song. However, during the toon they play D/F—one chime somehow plays two pitches—G, A, and B.
*The brass run played while the [[Wikipedia:Horn (instrument)|horn]] (French horn) appears on-screen is near the extreme low end of the instrument's range.
*There is a [[Wikipedia:treble clef|treble clef]] hidden in the horn's tubing.
*This marks the first time any character has identified The Thnikkaman as Bubs. It had been a running gag since his first appearance to wonder about his true identity.
*The Dethemberween Thnikkaman's "unmarked van" is very clearly marked with his signature "tH" symbol on the side.
*Near the beginning, Strong Sad's eyes seem further apart than usual.
*When Strong Bad answers the Thnikkaman's phone call he reaches underneath his desk to answer, making one assume he keeps his phone on the floor, as Strong Bad's desk has no drawers. The phone could have been pulled out of [[hammerspace]].
*In order to put his arm around the snow Thnikkaman, Strong Bad's reach is far longer then what his normal arm length is.
*Homestar says that all the characters are "just talking about bubs with a piece of paper taped to his chest", meaning he is not oblivious to the Thnikkaman's supposed identity, though he was in an Easter egg in the email [[monument]].
*When the cartoon cuts to the scene with the sheriff, The Thnikkaman's unmarked van does not appear to have anyone driving it; the steering wheel and stars are clearly visible through the window, though neither The Thnikkaman nor any other driver is seen. This is seen easily if you zoom in.

===Goofs===
[[Image:DethemberweenShadesGoof.png|thumb|Levitating cool shades.]]
*The right bow of The Thnikkaman's [[cool shades]] is missing during one scene of this toon.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When the toon was first released, clicking on "dang" just replayed the toon from the beginning.

===Inside References===
*When the Dethemberween Thnikkaman is making his calls, there's a [[sticky note]] on the cubicle wall that says "locate [[toilet]]".
*The Homsar chimes and the Thnikkaman singers are both instances of [[twin characters]].
*One of the travel advertisements is for [[Scalding Lake]].
*Strong Bad's lab coat is from [[technology]].
*The Thnikkaman's [[Baloney Sammich Truck|flying bologna van]] is actually the same van that Bubs himself used in [[Weclome Back]].
*Strong Mad is wearing the same sweater as from [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].
*At one point, The King of Town, Strong Sad, Homestar, and Coach Z all appear from behind Strong Mad, similar to how The Cheat, Homestar, Strong Mad, Bubs, and Coach Z all appear from behind Strong Bad in [[Some Stupid Turkey]].
*[[Senor Cardgage]] was previously mentioned to drive an unmarked van in [[Fan Costumes '06]].
*The Thnikkaman's pose when he is skating is the same one as Bubs' "[[Sketchbook 2007#SK-2007-01-18|Zzzzziiiiiiiip!]]" pose when he stands on one foot on the conveyor belt in [[the chair]].
*The name "Deborah" was previously mentioned in [[senior prom]].
*[[The VCR]] blinks [[12:00]] atop the TV.

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Olaf II of Norway|Saint Olaf]] is a real-life saint after whom towns, colleges, and many other things have been named.
*The [[Brundo the Decemberween Yak and the Sword of St. Olaf|TV special]] at the beginning is a parody of the numerous [[stop motion]] Christmas specials produced by [[Wikipedia:Rankin/Bass|Rankin/Bass]] such as 1964's ''[[Wikipedia:Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (TV special)|Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer]]''. Specifically, Brundo's line about losing his "magics" is a reference to the Winter Warlock in ''[[Wikipedia:Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town (TV special)|Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town]]''.
*The Sheriff's voice appears to be based on that of [[Wikipedia:Bing Crosby|Bing Crosby]], who popularized the song "[[Wikipedia:White Christmas (song)|White Christmas]]".
*The Dethemberween Thnikkaman's cry of "Yeah, shut up! To one and all o' dang y'all!" is a parody of Santa's final line in [[Wikipedia:A Visit from St. Nicholas|The Night Before Christmas]]: "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!"

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Checkin' checkin' emails in 2008! Checkin' checkin' Strong Bad fit to regulate! ''{brings up the email}''

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

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

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

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

''{cut back to the Lappy}''

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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the—?

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

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

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

''{medium shot of Marzipan}''

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

''{close up of Strong Bad}''

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

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

'''STRONG SAD:''' Three days.

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

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

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

''{close up of Strong Bad}''

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

''{medium shot of Marzipan}''

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

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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing in the list}'' tuckus ''{presses enter}'' hinders ''{presses enter}'' bwathom ''{presses enter}'' boontockle ''{presses enter}''

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

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

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

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

''{cut back to The Field}''

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

''{close up of Strong Bad}''

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

''{medium shot of Marzipan}''

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

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

'''COACH Z:''' Ah, the world famous Coach Z Sog Dog. ''{words appear on the screen as he says it}'' Mmmm... Drink In That Bun!

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

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

''{cut back to all three}''

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

''{medium shot of Strong Sad}''

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

''{medium shot of Marzipan}''

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

''{close up of Strong Bad}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The exclamation "Al Gore's beard!" is reference to former vice president and noted environmental activist [[Wikipedia:Al Gore|Al Gore]], who after losing the 2000 presidential campaign famously grew a beard and went into seclusion for a short period of time before refocusing on the environment.

*Strong Bad claims that his monthly power bill is $70,000. Assuming that he pays the US national average price of [http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/electricity/epm/table5_6_a.html 9.86¢/kWh], that would mean that he uses approximately 709,939.14 kWh/month. This would be roughly 799 times more than the average usage of [http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/reps/enduse/er01_us.html 888 kWh/month] per US household.

===Remarks===
*Though the email senders say they are from Idaho and Missouri (ID and MO), the Easter egg shows the states Idaho and Montana (ID and MT).

== Nominate for deletion? ==

Brundo has a Wiki article, but the Elf and the Sheriff don't. I believe we should either create the latter two articles, or delete the former one. The characters seem equally prominent/minor to me, so for only one to have an article seems terribly inconsistent. *shrug* Just throwing my two cents in. Maybe the more knowledgeable Wiki-ers should discuss this. [[User:Mathgrant|Mathgrant]] 02:13, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

==Transcript==
''{Front view of the downstairs TV, a Christmas special plays on the TV. The characters appear to be made of felt. We see Brundo as tears fall from his eyes.}''

'''BRUNDO:''' ''{dejected}'' Oh, I lost all my magics.

'''ELF:''' Don't you see? The magic of Decemberween is inside everyone!

''{The TV cuts to a shot of a Sheriff, with Brundo and the Elf visible in the background.}''

'''SHERIFF:''' And so they returned the sword of St. Olaf to its rightful owner, and discovered the true meaning of Decemberween. Buh-buh-buh-buh-bye, kids!

''{Sheriff exits the scene, cut to a blue screen with snowflakes on it, as "The End!" appears on the screen.}''

''{Cut to a view of [[The Couch]], with every main character (except Homsar and Bubs) sitting on or around it.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Can someone please explain again what a mystical sword has to do with Decemberween?

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar sitting on the floor.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' You heard that nasty ol' puppet! The magic of Decemberween is inside all of us!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, sitting on the couch with Strong Sad behind him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, that's not what Decemberween's all about!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Then I suppose ''you're'' gonna to tell us—

''{Cut back to the view of the whole couch.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll tell you what Decemberween is all about!<br />
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' ... what Decemberween is all about.

''{Stong Bad begins singing, accompanied by music, doing hand motions as he sings.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Singing}'' It happens each Decemberween though some would say it doesn't. The best thing that you've ever seen, even better than your hot cousin!

''{Music stops.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Better than Debra?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{talking normally}'' Oh, maybe not better than Debra. ''{slower and more sultry}'' Ooh, Debra.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I'm talking about a magic man, who defies the laws of physics.

'''STRONG BAD:''' He turns Decemberween into DeTHemberween!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Tell us, man, who is it?

'''STRONG BAD:''' He's the Dethemberween Thnikkaman, and he'll make your dreams come true. No, there ain't no beatin' that holiday feelin', when he says "Shut up" to you.

'''THE THNIKKAMAN:''' Yeah, shut up, kid!

'''STRONG BAD:''' When the sun goes down, he creeps into town, and borrows your hedge clippers. And while you're sleeping, safe and sound, he puts blank media in your slippers!

'''COACH Z:''' It was 8-Tracks in my day!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sometimes he'll cold call random kids with discount travel packages!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{talking}'' Las Vegas? For 20 dollars a night? Thanks, Dethemberween Thnikkaman!

'''SHERIFF:''' Yes, he's the Dethemberween Thnikkaman. Flying through the night in an unmarked van. You never know what he'll bring us when you hear those high-pitched singers!

'''SINGERS:''' Here comes the Dethemberween Thnikkaman!

'''STRONG BAD:''' One, two, three!

'''ALL CHARACTERS:''' He's the Dethemberween Thnikkaman, and he'll make your dreams come true!

'''HOMESTAR:''' Do-Do-La-Do-Do-Do-Doo!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Singing}'' There ain't no ceilin' on that holiday feelin',

'''ALL CHARACTERS:''' When he says "Shut up" to you!

'''THE THNIKKAMAN:''' Yeah, shut up! To one and all o' dang y'all!

'''HOMESTAR:''' Uh, just so we're all on the same page here, we are just talking about Bubs with a piece of paper taped to his chest, right? You guys? Bubs? Paper tape? Anybody?

''{With one final note, the words "yeah, shut up! to one and all o' dang y'all!" appear in a night sky, written in stars. The word "back" is written in cursive in the lower left corner.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on "dang" to play on the Homsar chimes.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Cold calling|Cold calling]] is the practice of making sales calls to potential customers who were not expecting one.

===Remarks===
*The trees in the scenery of the television show are Little Debbie [http://www.littledebbie.com/products/ChristmasCakes.asp Christmas Tree Cakes].
*The Homsar chimes have intervals, from low (right) to high (left), of Major 2nd, minor 2nd, and Major 2nd. These correspond to the tonal 2, 3, 4, and 5 in the key of the toon's song.
**However, the chimes play different tones during the song than during the Easter Egg. In the Easter Egg, they play, from left to right, G, F, E, and D. In the song, they play, from left to right, D and F (one chime plays two pitches, somehow), G, A, and B.
*The brass run played while the [[Wikipedia:french horn|french horn]] appears on-screen is, at best, near the extreme low end of the instrument's range.
*The Homsar chimes are another instance of [[twin characters]].
*Strong Bad's description of the meaning of Decemberween here defies its meaning in [[A Decemberween Pageant]].

===Inside References===
*One of the travel advertisements is for [[Scalding Lake]].
*Strong Bad's lab coat is from [[technology]].
*The Thnikkaman's [[Baloney Sammich Truck|flying bologna van]] is actually the same van that Bubs himself used in [[Weclome Back]].
*Strong Mad is wearing the same sweater as from [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].
*At one point, The King of Town, Strong Sad, Homestar, and Coach Z all appear from behind Strong Mad, similar to how The Cheat, Homestar, Strong Mad, Bubs, and Coach Z all appear from behind Strong Bad in [[Some Stupid Turkey]].

===Real-World References===
*The TV special at the beginning is a parody of the numerous stop motion Christmas specials produced by [[Wikipedia:Rankin/Bass|Rankin/Bass]] such as 1964's ''[[Wikipedia:Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (TV special)|Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer]]''.

:Question: If I move [[Page That Needs To Be Moved]] to [[Page That Already Exists]], will the first page replace the second page, or will the move not be allowed? If the first page replaces the second page, then I should have done that :) [[User:mathgrant|mathgrant]] 17:13, 12 Jan 2005 (MST)

::As noted in [[MetaWikiPedia:Help:Renaming (moving) a page|the documentation]], moves can only be done to pages that don't exist or are redirects with only one line in their history. You could not move to "Page That Already Exists." The big benifit of the move option is that the edit history of a page is preserved.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:40, 12 Jan 2005 (MST)

== Spamusement fact ==

Hey there, Mathgrant. I saw you added a STUFF item about the [[Wikipedia:Spamusement!|Spamusement!]] fact — you seemed a little unsure in the summary, so I wanted to mention that it looks like you set it up right. Nice job!

Looking at [[Talk:web comics#Spamusement|the talk page]], I don't see any strong opposition to this fact, so I think the fact can be safely added to the article without having to go through the STUFF process. If any dissenters arise, they can take it to the talk page, and if there are enough of them, it might ''then'' be necessary to take it to STUFF. So, I'll go ahead and close the STUFF and add the fact back into the article.

Just wanted to let you know ahead of time since you seemed a little nervous in your edit summary :) Take care, {{User:Trey56/sig}} 00:02, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

:From what I can tell, there have been edit wars regarding this fun fact. Actually, at the time I added it to STUFF, I had never seen it on the main article before, so I thought absolutely nobody noticed or something, which meant it probably wasn't notable enough, or else they would have added it already. XD Anyhow, I won't add the fact to the article yet; I'll let everyone else argue their heads off about it first. Also, I was partway nervous about making my presence known on the wiki (which I still adore and use to this day), after my noisy departure from the forum a while back, so. [[User:Mathgrant|Mathgrant]] 00:14, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

::Okay — sounds good. Most of the users who've expressed their opinions (not counting edit summaries) are in support of the fact, so I've added the fact into the article, unless the tide of the talk page discussion turns dramatically.

::Anyway, I don't frequent the forum much, so I'm not sure what happened, but your contributions are very welcome here! Later, {{User:Trey56/sig}} 00:18, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

:::Let's just say some people on the forum did some ''really'' cruel and hurtful things to me. :( I hear the forum has gotten a bit better, but due to the hurtful memories I have, I probably wouldn't enjoy it. And because I left in such a huff, I ''can't'' return anyway. But rest assured I am still a huge fan of the Homestar Runner site, and use the Wiki regularly. =D [[User:Mathgrant|Mathgrant]] 00:43, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

::::I'm sorry to hear that, and I'm glad to hear that your bad experience hasn't soured your enjoyment of Homestar Runner or the wiki. By the way, does your username mean that you're a math major? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 01:07, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

::Already in Real-World References. And yes, yes it does. It's a reference, no doubt. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 20:31, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
:While Strong Bad is pretty clearly modelled after Gabriel, I don't know who the Strong Sad character is supposed to be. But the speech balloons and fonts look similar, also. I think the reference should be put back. (I think it was removed earlier.) [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 20:32, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
::Strong Bad's point is that there are a million comics like this. We can't assume that he's making a reference to one specific comic.

Poster of that fun fact

:I don't think so. There's nothing that reminds me of CAD in "Game Pox". If anything, Strong Sad is reminiscent of PvP a ''little'' bit, but not enough for me to call it a reference. [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 21:24, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

That is definitely a PA reference. If you say otherwise, well, you're wrong, and you're just going to have to deal with that. And that's my objective opinion on the matter. --{{User:Soapergem/sig}} 06:21, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, after seeing the cartoon and noticing the conspicuous absence of a Penny Arcade fun fact, I moseyed over to look for the conversation. Obviously it needs to keep conversing a little longer, but my two cents are in favor of it. Yes yes, there are Ctrl-Alt-Del and PvP and Dueling Analogs and VGcats and ever and more. But TBC didn't have to put a shirt on Strong Bad at all, much less a yellow one. Plus his black hair, scowly expression, and backwards-leaning posture—I think they were trying their best to give us an overt reference. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 13:15, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

:Not only that, but look at the way the eyes and necks are drawn. The art style is closer to PA than PvP or CAD.

::I dunno, I've been reading penny arcade almost as long as I've been going to homestar runner, and I just don't see it. I'll grant that the characters look somewhat like their real life counterparts, but I say that's a pretty oblique reference. There's nothing else really penny arcade about the comic, none of the writing screams penny arcade (except maybe the very early stuff). I still say it's too much of a stretch. [[User:Nynexman4464|Nynexman4464]] 15:09, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

:::I think you most likely feel this way ''because'' you're very familiar with PA and thus notice the differences, but to someone who's only passingly familiar with it, it's pretty obviously supposed to be PA. Plus, PA is the most famous of of the gamernerd nerdgeek webcomics, and they're well-known for being impossible to understand if you don't play video games (just see the article on them in Wired...)--[[User:75.68.233.187|75.68.233.187]] 15:16, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

:While Strongsad's character is debatable, Strongbad is definitely a reference to Penny Arcade. [[User:Stev0|Stev0]] 16:13, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

:Strong Bad is Gabe from Penny Arcade. It is possible that Strong Sad is supposed to be someone else entirely from a different comic. Below someone suggests the idea that he's from Ctrl-Alt-Del, about which i know nothing -[[User:Jdhannan|Jdhannan]] 16:29, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

== Captain N parody? ==

Part of this email clearly seems to be sending up Captain N the Game Master. A series which featured a human in the video game world, and the game worlds, story plots and characters often bore little or no resemblance to their game counterparts. For example the Secret Collect character is a whiney coward not unlike Simon Belmont's portrayal in Captain N. The in-jokes may even go further than I recognise.

:Reminded me more of the Pac-Man cartoon, personally. Captain N centered around a real-world human, as well as a whole *group* of random NES characters; not much of a similarity IMO. Also, Simon Belmont was a whiny coward in Captain N (something he very much is *not* in Castlevania games, but I digress), but he was also a hopeless narcissist, which Secret Collect isn't. Ramble. -{{User:YK/sig}} 07:07, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

== Bob and George? ==

Been a while since I had posted here. Anyway, when SB was listed out <em>"They're all about video games, gamernerds, webgeeks, dorknerds, gamewads, nerdgames, webwebs, and elves."</em> The first thing that came to mind when he mentioned "video games" (and later said "just steal some graphics from your favorite video game") was the Web Comic [http://www.bobandgeorge.com/ Bob and George], further enforced with the Stinkoman comic bit where the majority of Stinkoman sprites were based off of Megaman... Heck, I too am guilty of the use of videogame graphics for my own web-comic... which I'm currently slacking on. Also, I'd like to point out the MS Paint comment SB mentioned. Many new comers to the sprite/pixel comic landfill often use MS Paint as their very first program, and use it very badly. As far as the Elves part goes, I'm unsure. - {{User:Ren Foxx/sig}} 04:59, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
*Unlike Penny Arcade, which has a form that is discernably lampooned, Bob and George and 8-Bit Theater et. al. don't really have any hallmarks that would make them stand out from other sprite comics. [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 05:40, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
::Well, unless you count Bob and George being the '''first''' significant sprite comic. There's a reputation for really bad comic writers to base their works on Bob and George as well. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 15:28, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

== Explanations ==

I think GamerJox is a spoof of [[Wikipedia:Ctrl+Alt+Del |Ctrl+Alt+Del]]. Strong Sad strongly resembles Lucas. And those web comics with the sprites could be referenced to [[Wikipedia:8-Bit Theater |8-Bit Theater]].
*Strong Bad's pompadour, yelling pose and yellow shirt are pretty reminiscent of Gabriel. Contrariwise, I don't see anything in Strong Sad resembling Lucas other than he's fat. [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 05:45, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
*No, I don't think so. Lucas wears a white shirt, and has hair more like Strong Bad's. [[User:Evil Egg|Evil Egg]] 12:31, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
**By the way, heading off at the pass further discussion of 8-Bit Theater: Yeah, that was the first thing I thought of when Strong Bad began talking about it, but as he went on to describe such crappy examples, I think he's really just referencing the dozens upon thousands of amateur attempts using the same method. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 13:17, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

==Spamusement==

Is the Spam-based comic a reference to [http://www.spamusement.com/ | Spamusement]? I don't know of any other webcomic that does this. I'm not saying there aren't, I'm just saying I don't know about them if there are. [[User:Stev0|Stev0]] 16:17, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
:Seconded -[[User:Jdhannan|Jdhannan]] 16:29, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
:STUFF'd. Vote there. [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 21:17, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

::STUFF should be only be used when there's no consensus on the talk page. Here's the fact that was removed (edited a bit):
<blockquote>
The Cheat's web comic, based on spam mailers' names, is a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Spamusement!|Spamusement!]]'', a real-life comic made from spam email subject lines.
</blockquote>
::This seems to be a legitimate reference to me; the gimmicks behind the comics are almost identical, and I doubt that there are any other real-life web comics that are similar. Anybody agree or disagree? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:21, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
:::I think it's probably a reference, unless someone can demonstrate that it's [[TTATOT]]. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:35, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

:The following comments/arguments were moved here from the STUFF page — hopefully, we can find consensus on this fact here without the need for the STUFF process. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 00:10, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
<blockquote>
:''Argument For from [[User:Mathgrant|Mathgrant]]:'' Both The Cheat's comic and Spamusement! reference spam, and have bad art.

:''Comment from [[User:Kvn8907|Kvn8907]]:'' It was kind of annoying how people kept deleting and re-adding this before this section in STUFF was added, especially when they gave it as their reason for removing it. Not that it has much to do with the current argument; I'm just saying.-[[User:Kvn8907|Kvn8907]] 23:47, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

:''Argument Against from [[User:Ten Ten|Ten Ten]]:'' Claiming it as a reference to one specific source is ambiguous: there are multiple groups that spend time making fun of spam messages.
</blockquote>

::While there are many groups devoted to making fun of spam, crappy drawings based on spam subject lines are pretty much Spamusement!'s trademark, methinks. [[User:Mathgrant|Mathgrant]] 00:21, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

== Kirby ==

The stupid paint thing that is drawn on the Stinkoman comic looks a little like Kirby in a messed up way.

== The Smurfs ==

*It's not something I want to put on the page without discussing it (unlike Penny Arcade where I'm pretty sure), but the evil wizard from the Secret Collect cartoon reminds me of Gargamel. He wears a crappy looking cloak, is balding, has rotten teeth, and the shot of his castle is reminiscent of all the interior shots in Gargamel's castle. [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 09:31, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
:I agree entirely, although he also reminds me of Mitch Overlord. {{User:Zoom/sig}} 19:24, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

== Spam senders ==

Some of those names, besides Hooray4Dolphins I reckon could be from some other wellknown characters.

Public D. Themackinest - Pompon, The Mack
Lowpoint K. Festivals - Strong Sad, being at a constant lowpoint

There may be others that I have not been able to decifer. I know that it might be a reach, and in any way a weak case, but I just throught that I would throw it out there. [[User:Lord-z|Lord-z]] 15:38, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

: It's an interesting theory, but it strikes me as speculation. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 15:41, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

== Signature blocks ==

I added the following fact as a real world reference:
:The characters in GamerJox monotonously reciting computer specifications at the end of their comic is a reference to the inclusion of such information in [[Wikipedia:Signature block|signature blocks]] of posts in [[Wikipedia:Internet forum|internet forums]] by computer technology enthusiasts.
And it was removed with this explanation:
:Why would he be referencing signature blocks/internet forums in an email about web comics?? And being "similar to" is not enough to be a real world reference.)
The random spouting off computer specs really deserves an explanation, and I'm convinced that this is it. Why else would he possibly have done it? To answer the question the deleter asks, I would imagine Strong Bad is implying that these characters are the kinds of people who use and see computer specs in internet forum signature blocks so regularly that they automatically use them as a "signoff" even when communicating in person. That does seem odd, but it's a joke, and that's how I interpreted it. Did anyone interpret it some other way? [[User:LikeAsItself|LikeAsItself]] 18:51, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

== Cast of Characters ==

How much of the characters in the comics and cartoons and so one should we include in the cast list? Any? All? Note that not everything in the cast has to be linked. Personally, I'm for including everyone we can name/has a speaking part. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:29, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

==Captain N==

The first Saturday morning cartoon reminds me of Captain N. [[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 23:08, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh... The Cheat... I don't know whether to puke or have a seizure...

''{A piece of paper is put on the easel, with silhouettes of Strong Bad throwing up and seizing, labeled "STYLE 1" and "STYLE 2". Cut to Bubs, who has a folder labeled "'''GOO'''<del>BA</del>D IDEAS"}''

'''BUBS:''' Well, I've been noticing how kids love anything with a lowercase "i" in front of it. It's working great for me down at the Concession Stand!

''{Cut back to the meeting}''

'''BUBS:''' We could try iStrong, or iBad...

'''STRONG BAD:''' We already tried that with lowercase "e"s back in the late '90s. We all know where that got us.

''{Cut to a large number of boxes, all labeled "eStrong Vague Online Investments". The wind can be heard blowing through, and Gavin crawls in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Next.

''{Cut to Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' I came up with a few ways to spruce up your look, and add hundreds to your resale value.

''{Marzipan pulls out a piece of paper with a diagram of Strong Bad's head on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{monotone}'' I am legally obligated to ask you to proceed.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Thanks.

''{Zoom in on the diagram of Strong Bad's head. As Marzipan suggests changes, they appear on the diagram.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' First we're gonna start with a flagstone path leading up to your chin, right here. Then we'll fill the negative space around your head with Forsythia and maybe some Alberta spruce. And last, we install a water feature right here, ''{Strong Bad's forehead}'' which I think will create a great focal point for entertaining summer guests. ''{some outdoor tables and a deck chair appear}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, this'll work great, Marzipan. ''{dashes up to Marzipan}'' If I was a ''BACK YARD''!

''{As he shouts this, a strong wind blows out of his mouth, blowing Marzipan's hair around and rippling her cheeks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Next.

''{Strong Mad pulls out a card, labeled "were a diper", a diaper decorated with pictures of Nebulon, hanging from the middle from what is labeled "dupp tape", and pictures on the right of "grass", "rocks" and "mounds".}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' WEAR A DIAPER!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, nice try, bo-hwee-moth, but that's a little younger than I was looking to go. These are all terrible ideas! What am I not paying you people for, anyway? It's time to resort to extreme measures. With Gene Hackman. It's time for a lace lift!

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, on three.

''{Cut to behind Strong Bad, Strong Mad is holding the shoelace knot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' One... Two... Aah!

''{Strong Mad pulls the strings, deforming Strong Bad's head, and stretching out all of his facial features. His mouth is severely stretched, and his speech is mumbled and subtitled.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yeah. I feel at least 10 years younger. Time to go relate to some 18–24 year olds!

''{Strong Bad walks to the dining room, making Homsar's walking noise, where Strong Sad is sitting staring at a plate of food with some peas and corn which he has lined up neatly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hello, my fellow young parson! ''{The subtitles read "What's up, my fellow young parson?"}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, hey Great Grandma. When did you get here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm not Great Grandma. I'm a young person, like you. I eat my yogurt from a tube.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{smiling, amused}'' That's right! You eat ''everything'' through a tube! Well, let's get you back to the home.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait! I'm a hip young person!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yes, I saw your new hip! It looks great!

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*A [[Wikipedia:Rhytidectomy|facelift]] is a [[Wikipedia:Cosmetic surgery|cosmetic surgery]] procedure where excess skin is removed from the face, to remove wrinkles.
*"H, s, i, a, o, and sometimes y" refers to the Latin [[Wikipedia:Vowel#Written vowels|vowels]], which are commonly listed as "a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y".
*''"Chai"'' means "[[Wikipedia:Chai|tea]]" in [[Wikipedia:Hindi|Hindi]], [[Wikipedia:Macedonian language|Macedonian]] and [[Wikipedia:Russian language|Russian]] and "[[Wikipedia:Chai (symbol)|living]]" in [[Wikipedia:Hebrew language|Hebrew]]. "[[Wikipedia:L'Chaim|L'Chaim]]" is a Hebrew toast meaning "to life." Chai tea is a type of strong black tea from the Middle East, primarily India, that is boiled in milk and water. A blend of spices and a large amount of sweetener (usually honey or plain white sugar) is added. The tea Marzipan drinks is also certified [[Wikipedia:kosher|kosher]], meaning that it meets Jewish dietary guidelines.
*The "nightly nacho cheese mask" appears to be a type of [[Wikipedia:facial|facial]]. Usually, [[Wikipedia: avocado|avocado]] is used. Avocados are the main ingredient in [[Wikipedia:Guacamole|guacamole]], another popular chip dip.
*Strong Bad not knowing whether to "throw up" or "have a seizure" after seeing the Cheat's editing is a reference to [[Wikipedia: Motion sickness|motion sickness]] caused by the rapidly changing viewpoint, or an [[Wikipedia:Photosensitive epilepsy|epileptic]] [[Wikipedia:seizure|seizure]] caused by the flashing colors.
*The word "[[Wikipedia:Behemoth|Behemoth]]", as it is used in this email, refers to any very large person, animal or object. It derives from the name of a creature mentioned in the book of Job in the [[Wikipedia:Bibles|Bible]].

===Trivia===
*The floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#drakkhen|drakkhen]]".
*This is the first time the Strongs' [[Parents|great-grandmother]] is mentioned.
*This is the first email explicitly sent from [[Strong Bad Email by place|Asia]].
*There was a 43 day delay between this email and [[what I want]], probably caused by the holidays.
*This is the first email that was put in [[New Stuff]].

===Remarks===
*During the Cheat's remixed version of the intro, clicking on the Lappy's screen will still produce the usual distortion effect.
**However, on some shots, the distortion effect is dimmer than usual.
**It doesn't work when there are closeups that point explicitly to Strong Bad's [[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|typing]].
*This email contains another example of [[Strong Sad Smiling]].
*Strong Bad's skull is bigger than the normal shape of his mask.
*Early in the email, Strong Bad's pants are drawn in an old style.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Looking Old Goof.PNG|thumb|"Yes, you eat ''everything'' through a tube."]]
*When Strong Bad says "18-24 year olds", the side of his mouth floats off of his head.
*When Strong Sad says "Oh, hey Great Grandma. When did you get here?" his mouth is not properly synched to the word "here".
*When Strong Sad is walking "to the home", his closed mouth is visible under his round mouth.

===Glitches===
*When Marzipan closes her eyes, you can see a dot flash near them. This is because she blinks every four seconds or so, and with her eyes closed, she attempts to blink over her closed eyes. (Her usual closed eyes use a bigger area than that used in the email.) The effect can easily be observed if the email is paused while her eyes are closed.
**This also occurs in the email [[marzipan]].
*When the "Wear A Diaper" airplane flies by, it pauses for a split second. This is due to the sound file for the airplane being loaded.

===Inside References===
*The music that plays when Strong Bad summons his "marketing staff" was used in [[candy product]] when he described the [[SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar]].
*The background "nausea" sound effect heard after The Cheat's editing presentation is the same as the one used in [[car]], when Strong Bad punches Homestar, and in [[Biz Cas Fri 2]], when Homestar shows up to work, possibly hungover.
*[[Nebulon]] appears on the diaper and uses the same art from [[best thing]].
*The "WEAR A DIAPER!" Easter egg is a reference to [[Wear a Bikini!]], especially [[Main Page 3]].
*The music playing during Marzipan's backyard idea is an extended version of the music playing at the very end of [[redesign]].
*The music that plays when Strong Bad is mistaken for his great-grandmother was first used in [[portrait]].
*Homestar's line "I'll take it! I'll take twelve!" is lifted directly from [[garage sale]].

*Strong Mad's scrubs and surgical mask were seen previously in [[bedtime story]].
*Strong Mad's "dupp tape" is another occurrence of [[duct tape]].
*Strong Bad's emphasis on "BACK YARD!!!" was the same as Blue Laser of the Cheat Commandos', when referring to their new hideout (his nana's backyard).

*[[Feeding Through a Tube]] was last heard in [[No Hands On Deck!]] when [[Cardboard Marzipan]] said "...and they feed the ducks through a tube".

===Real-World References===
[[Image:Strong Bad Andy Warhol.png|thumb|A [[Wikipedia:Pop art|pop artist]]'s take on the wrestleman]]
*Eating your yogurt from a tube is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Go-Gurt|Go-Gurt]], a brand of "portable yogurt", or "Yo on the go".

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

''{Starts reading with "Da da da—"}''

<blockquote class="email">Dear Strong Bad,<br />
Dude, who cuts your hair? It's<br />
sooo coull. I can't decide what to<br />
do with mine, any suggestions?<br />
<br />
Harry Earlenmacherg<br />
Düsseldorf</blockquote>

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

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

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

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{angrily}'' You gotta be kidding me.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh... Never mind.

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

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

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

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

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

'''HOMESTAR:''' N O spells no!

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Widen to show Strong Mad standing next to Strong Bad. Strong Mad is holding a cardboard box.}''

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

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

''{Zoom in on Strong Mad's eyebrows.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah ha! Pay dirt!

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

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

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

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

''{Strong Bad draws gentleman-like eyebrows. "Gentleman Caller" flashes on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or. . .

''{Strong Bad wipes the picture clean. We zoom in a bit on the picture.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Experience the lightning brows of "Jagged Metal."

''{Strong Bad draws lightning-shaped eyebrows. "Jagged Metal" flashes on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, and he's definitely gonna need a guitar.

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

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

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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or experience the urban flavor of: "Hammer Pants."

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

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

''{He draws some large rectangular eyebrows.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I should probably go ahead and give him a couple missing teeth. . .

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Acne. . .

''{He draws spots on Strong Mad's face.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' One of them butt chins.

''{He draws a cleft.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There we go. One hundred and ten percent lady-proof.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' "A Dog and Also a Cat Shaped Eyebrows."

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' And a couple of muskrat.

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

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

''{He draws a weird-looking character over Strong Mad's face. "Ready for Primetime" flashes on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Which I admit I got a little carried away with.

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

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

''{He draws an "[[Eh! Steve!]]"-esque character.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Eh! Greg!

''{He wipes the picture clean.}''

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

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

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

== Fun Facts ==

=== Trivia ===
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#tengen classix|tengen classix]]".

===Remarks===
*"Barbzerdry" is a [[portmanteau]].
*The cardboard box has "GLUTEMATES (BOX OF 6)" very faintly printed on it.
*Strong Bad's [[Fine Tip Permanent Marker|"permanent" marker]] apparently isn't permanent at all, although permanent markers frequently rub off smooth surfaces, such as the Polaroid picture of Strong Mad.
**A few times, he does not wipe all of the Polaroid, yet all the marker is erased.
*Strong Bad can [[Wikipedia:Germanic umlaut|umlaut]] his U's and O's unusually quickly. Normally, when one needs to change the language on their keyboard, they use special keyboard shortcuts.
**Also, he mispronounces his umlauted "U"s and "O"s.
*The "Gentleman Caller" bears a striking resemblance to [[Old Timey Strong Bad]]'s mustache and hair.
*The font for the Deutschman comic book logo is the same as the one used for the words that flash on-screen when Homestar says Neva-Die in the e-mail [[car]].
*There are no words in the English language that begin with "ghe" that fit the context of what Strong Bad is typing when he is interrupted.
*Strong Bad says he has no hair, yet in the following email [[theme park]] we see he at least has the ability to grow a (very thin) mustache.
*When Strong Bad draws the guitar in front of Strong Mad's picture, he twice comments that it is an electric guitar, but since it has four strings, it is more likely a bass guitar.
*The guitar that [[Strong Bad]] drew on [[Strong Mad]]'s picture is a [[Gibson Flying V|Flying V]].

===Goofs===
*In the Easter Egg containing Strong Bad singing the box song his arms are much longer than normal.
*When Strong Bad is drawing on Strong Mad's picture in the close up, the Compy is much brighter than usual.


===Inside References===
*The Deutschman comic book is published by [[Cheap as Free]]. The comic is a reference to [[superhero name]]. [[The Cheat]] appears on it in a cape and mask—another reference to "superhero name."
*"[[Preeeeow]]" was first used to describe the noise that The Paper makes in [[autobiography]].
*Strong Mad asks Strong Bad to make the box dance and [[Prancing|prance]].

===Real-World References===
*In the "napping Strong Sad" Easter egg, when Strong Sad mentions "that Carpenter [[Wikipedia:The Smurfs|Smurf]]," he is probably referring to [[Wikipedia:Characters in the Smurfs#Handy|Handy Smurf]] but forgetting his name.
*[[Wikipedia:Julian Sands|Julian Sands]] is a British horror film actor.
*When Strong Bad draws the guitar on "jagged metal" Strong Bad says that Strong Mad is playing the guitar with his teeth, he is referencing [[Wikipedia:Jimi Hendrix|Jimi Hendrix]], who gained notoriety playing "[[Wikipedia:Wild Thing|Wild Thing]]" with his teeth at the [[Wikipedia:Woodstock Festival|Woodstock Music Festival]] in 1969.
*"Ready for Primetime" may refer to "The Not Ready For Primetime Players," the name of the original cast of [[Wikipedia:Saturday Night Live|Saturday Night Live]].
*When you zoom in on the comic book Easter egg where there is a picture of The Cheat, the price reads "$1.25". Below that, it reads in a smaller font "$8.00 CAN." This is probably a reference to the difference in value between U.S. and Canadian dollars (though it isn't nor has it ever been that big.) This comic book is modeled after Marvel Comics of the mid-to-late '90s.
**On the comic book, "Sufferin' Schnitzels It's...Deutschman!!" is a reference to Robin from [[Batman]]. He often used cheesy phrases fraught with alliteration.
*Hammer Pants is a nickname given to the [[Wikipedia:Parachute Pants|parachute pants]] worn by rapper [[Wikipedia:MC Hammer|MC Hammer]] in the early '90s.
*Hammer Pants's eyebrow style was frequently seen on early '90s hip-hop stars, most notably [[Wikipedia:Vanilla Ice|Vanilla Ice]].
*The barbzerdry parchment references a grade-school rhyme about cutting in line: "No cuts, no butts, no coconuts."
*"Deutsch" (pronounced "doytch") is German for "German" (the nationality or the language). A male German is called a "Deutscher".
*The LIGHT PEN mentioned by Strong Bad was an accessory for a vector-graphics video game system known as the [[Wikipedia:Vectrex|Vectrex]].
*When Marzipan talks about growing her hair out for charity, she is referring to organizations such as Locks of Love, which lets people grow their hair long and then donate it after it is cut, so that it can be made into wigs for ill people who have lost their hair.

===Fast Forward===
*The "[[Sweet Cuppin' Cakes|Sweetie Cakes]]" character Strong Bad inadvertently creates in this email, Ready For Primetime, appears later in [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]] and [[mini-golf]].
*The scissors that Strong Bad uses are one and the same with the "snipp-snipperrooskies" Marzipan uses in [[lady fan]].

== DVD Version ==
*The music during Strong Bad's hair-search scene ends early.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''RYAN:''' This is Matt Chapman here.

'''MATT:''' This is Ryan.

'''JON:''' And I don't have anyone else to pretend to be, so I'm Jon.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Uh no, look, this is Matt.

'''RYAN:''' This is Ryan, Jonny.

'''MATT:''' What do you guys think of this? Do you really think this is from a dude in Germany? It sounds like from a German, actually, even.

'''RYAN:''' Wasn't ''Düsseldorf'' John Denver's real last name?

'''MATT:''' Really? I don't know.

'''RYAN:''' John ''Düsseldorf''.

'''MATT:''' Nice.

'''RYAN:''' Switched it to Denver—

''{Matt laughs}''

'''RYAN:''' for his folky songs.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, exactly. Figured that sounded...

'''RYAN:''' more American.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, definitely.

'''RYAN:''' I like the blurry backgrounds.

'''MATT:''' You do that? You like that? The rack focus, sorta?

'''RYAN:''' I do.

'''MATT:''' well I guess we're not rack focusing, but—

'''RYAN:''' You ''do'' do that sometimes.

'''MATT:''' Sometimes we do that. We do have—

'''JON:''' Does Homestar have hair?

'''MATT:''' ha—hair?

'''JON:''' Hair.

'''MATT:''' No, see, he called him "baldy". That's sort of a joke.

'''RYAN:''' Marzipan has some blonde hair.

'''MATT:''' She does. She's mostly bald on top. She has a very receded hair line.

'''RYAN:''' I wanna— I wanna Easter egg right there on the word "wizardry" which shows that screenshot from—

'''JON:''' we got it. Check the alternate angle.

'''MATT:''' There's barbzerdry

'''RYAN:''' ''{laughing}'' Barbzerdry.

'''JON:''' That's a card.

'''MATT:''' That shows his, uh, card.

'''JON:''' I'm just, totally...wait, no. I mean like the game "Wizardry". Remember the game?

'''MATT:''' Oh, oh. Gotcha, sorry.

'''RYAN:''' I like your Polaroid...fading in. That's a good—

'''MATT:''' Thanks. It looks pretty good. I think Mike did that. I think this might have been one that Mike— I was out of town again and Mike ended up finishing. But, hey, I record ''all'' the voices, you guys.

'''RYAN:''' Not lately, man. I mean, [[Shark-Tooth Bubs]] is a central figure on the site now.

'''MATT:''' Not really. He still hasn't appeared on the site, actually.

'''RYAN:''' Yeah, he's very important. ''{laughs}'' Um, I like how you guys rub off sharpie from the Polaroid—

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it works. You've never done that? It works like dry-erase.

''{All three laugh in turn}''

'''JON:''' Polaroids are actually a great dry-erase surface. I don't know if you know that.

'''MATT:''' If you're using a dry-erase marker it probably would work, but not the sharpie.

'''JON:''' Not the permanent... See, we're just setting up the—later on, he's gonna have a tough time rubbing off paint pen.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that's sorta—

'''RYAN:''' That's great ''{laughs}''

'''JON:''' —was a good—

'''RYAN:''' Favorite hair style thus far?

'''JON:''' Yeah, you're starting to lose me on, yeah, the chin.

'''MATT:''' What? You don't like this one?

'''JON:''' I was, "you had me at", you had me at—

'''RYAN:''' You had me at chin strap. This is one of my favorites, though.

''{Matt and Jon laugh}''

'''RYAN:''' I think it's pretty hilarious. That, that got me the first time.

'''MATT:''' Really?

'''RYAN:''' It did.

'''MATT:''' You made it laugh.

'''JON:''' It takes a lot to make Ryan laugh.

'''MATT:''' A chuckle laugh?

'''RYAN:''' I am not a laugher. Is that "Ready—"? That's the name of—

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I mean, we've never— It's never been referred to, but I would imagine—

'''RYAN:''' His name is "Ready For Primetime?"

'''MATT:''' —that Sweet Cuppin' Cakes Universe's name is "Ready For Primetime".

'''RYAN:''' You made the poster, see.

'''MATT:''' ''{character voice}'' Ready For Primetime, you and Eh! Steve are in cahoots!

'''MATT:''' ''{returns to normal voice}'' That sort of thing?

'''RYAN:''' It's good, it's good.

'''MATT:''' Thanks.

'''RYAN:''' ''{laughing}'' Did you spell "Deutsch" right?

'''MATT:''' I think so. I think that's "Deutsch", correct? And with "man" added in.

'''RYAN:''' Deutschmarks.

'''MATT:''' Sounds like a pretzel. Sounds like a type of pretzel. That's all.

'''RYAN:''' Wait. There's one.

===Fun Facts===
*[[Wikipedia:John Denver|John Denver]]'s real name was Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr., not ''Düsseldorf''.
*Strong Bad did have a hard time rubbing paint pen off the Lappy's screen in the email [[long pants]], when he tried to edit an email that was "too long".

'''Crack Stuntman''' is the voice actor for [[Gunhaver]] on the [[Cheat Commandos]]. He apparently doesn't take his job too seriously, since he never seems to have a firm idea of how his character's name is correctly pronounced (he's pronounced it "Gun-hay-ver" and "The Gun Shaver"), and has incorrectly referred to the cartoon as "the Cheat Command-show". Crack has been seen in a rap music video/public service announcement trying to convince kids not to play with too many knives and to inform them about Spring Break. He is also the national spokesperson of [[Pistols For Pandas]].

He is a Caucasian man in his late twenties or thirties, with blond hair and a five o'clock shadow. His shades are very similar to Gunhaver's.

<blockquote class="lappy email"><div>subject: hygiene movie</div>
Dear Strongbad,<br />
In 5th grade I have to watch a lame hygiene movie. I was thinking you could make a better movie about hygiene than the cruddy school version.<br />
Your friend,<br />
John Katulla
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "Katulla" as "Katulalalalala"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Fifth Grade Boys?!?!! Man, what happened to the hot college girls that used to email me? You ladies stop your be-pantied pillowfighting and drop me a line!

''{clears screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I suppose I could make a cruddy movie for you, John. But wouldn't it be so much satisfying to make a cruddy hygiene movie ''about'' you?

''{Cut to a blue background. Jazzy music plays. Yellow letters saying "Embarassing Educational Films" fly into frame. Afterwards the word "presents" appears below them and the "E", "E", and "F" in the title light up. Then we cut to another blue background with yellow letters that say "LESSON 1: SAY 'HI' TO HYGIENE"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meet John...

''{The Text "john" appears and Homestar Runner as John pops up looking all gross looking}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' John is a cruddy 5th grader. Hi John.

''{The Text "hi" appears over the text "john"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER AS JOHN:''' I'm a latchkey champion!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meet Gene...

''{The text "gene" appears. Strong Bad as Gene pops up}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene is a beacon of light—

''{Shows Gene in a lighthouse with the lighthouse shining. The lighthouse grows smaller and enters a stink cloud made by John}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —shining through the stink cloud generated by John.

''{The Text "hi' appears over the text "gene"}''

'''STRONG BAD AS GENE:''' TGIG y'all. Thank God I'm Gene.

''{Cuts to Gene standing or floating next to Coach Z, Pom-Pom, Bubs and Strong Mad, all having the same hair as Gene}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene is popular and doesn't get good grades.

''{Shows a Fridgin'-A brand refrigerator with a piece paper reading "G-, but sooo charming". Cuts to a closeup of John}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' John has no friends—

''{Shows John sitting in a desk surrounded by two empty desks}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and sits in the front row.

''{Cuts to John in a light brown box and Gene in a light blue box}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is John missing that Gene has? Besides rich parents...

''{Three bags of money drop in front of Gene}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right, hygiene!

''{"HYGIENE" appears. Cuts to a closeup of Gene}''

'''GENE:''' Hi, gals.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hygiene—

''{A dictionary pops up. A note is taped over the definition of hygiene}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —is defined as how close people are willing to stand next to you.

''{Cuts to a closeup of John's chest and his star is bent}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' John wears shabby clothes that smell like chocolate milk—

''{A chocolate milk with a thermometer in its mouth and squinted eyes pops up}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —with a stomach virus.

''{John blows his nose on his star. He puts it back on. It has boogers on it and slides off. Cuts to Gene with two bags next to him}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene's mom buys all of his clothes for him, but she is young and hot enough for that to be okay.

''{A feminine hand with a ring emerges from the left}''

'''GENE'S MOM:''' ''{voice}'' Mommy's got a grown-up headache, Gene. Why don't you take the boat out for a while?

''{Hands Gene the keys. Cuts to a bathroom and John walks in}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Every morning, John forgets to wash his stupid—

''{Cuts to more of a closeup of John's face. It gets closer and closer and closer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —dumb, stinking, fat, smelly, stupid, du—

''{Cuts to a closeup of Gene's face}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Every morning, the radiant energy from Gene's face—

''{Gene puts on two electricity generating wires and shows a light bulb on a pad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —powers a small light bulb.

''{The light bulb makes a buzzer noise and lights up. Cuts to a closeup of John's face}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' John's mouth is an ecological trainwreck.

''{John opens his mouth, which has a spider web in it. Stink lines come out of it. Some liquid drips from his mouth}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And has a nest of rare South American moths living inside it.

''{John burps and a moth flies out of it}''

'''JOHN:''' Now you be back before din-din, Chauncey.

''{Cuts to Gene's face. His mouth is shining}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene's mouth is a national park...

''{A Sign pops up showing a smile, two trees and two mountains}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And his saliva is sold—

''{Gene spits and it forms into a bottle that says "El Gene's Spit" over South America}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —in South America as a wonder drug.

''{Cuts to John's room. John is sitting on his bed. There is food scattered all around the room}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' John leaves food out all over his room.

''{Scrolls around the room. Cuts back to the middle}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And a family of squatters have taken up residence in a nearby laundry cave.

''{Shows The Sad Kids standing in front a pile of laundry carved into a cave. Cuts to Gene's room with a pennant saying "Go Sport" and a wardrobe}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene's Room has a sixteen car pile-up of race car beds.

''{Shows sixteen race car beds stacked on each other. 5 maids and 5 special effects artists appear on top of the pile of race car beds}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And a family of 10 maids and special effect artists keep realistically smoldering and burning.

''{The pile of race car beds catch on fire}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, and they also live in a nearby cave.

''{Shows the five maids and five special effects artists standing in front of a cave waving. Cuts to a tube and two jars of cream, powder, and paste}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What can John do to change his hygiene?

''{Cuts to John dropping the tube and two jars}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nothing at this point. By fifth grade the damage is already done.

''{Shows a pie chart that shows "Your Stink" being the biggest, "Your Stonk" after that, followed by "Hot Mom", "Video Games", and "Cool Headband"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And everyone will remember him as a smelly loser no matter what he does.

''{Cuts back to John}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' He'll probably have to wait and go to an out of state college, where he can reinvent himself.

''{John transforms into a more typical-looking Homestar, with a small beard and a college shirt}''

'''JOHN:''' Hooray.

''{Cuts to Gene}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gene, on the other hand, better keep up the status quo. ''{a hand starts poking him} ''If he slips up the slightest bit, and gets lice ''{shows his hair with lice jumping up and down}'', or has an ''accident'' at school, those fifth graders will just descend on him like a ravenous pack of hygiene wolves. And tear him to shreds.

'''GENE:''' Hooray...?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bye, Gene!

''{Cuts back to the blue background. Jazzy music plays again. Yellow letters saying "Embarassing Educational Films" fly into frame afterwards the word "presents" appears below them and the "E", "E", and "F" in the title light up. Then we cut to another blue background with yellow letters that say "LESSON 2: PANTS PROBLEMS". Cuts back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Okay John, all done. I hope your friends like my video. And don't worry, in 8 to 9 years you can just hide behind your new identity as a raver, a greaser, or a whatever ancient Egyptian teenagers called themselves. Now get outta here! None of the college hotties'll show up if you're hanging around, Mothmouth.

''{[[New Paper]] comes down, showing alternating colors below the words "Calibration test". "Click here to email Strong Bad" is nowhere to be seen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, New Paper, you keep sucking just enough to stay interesting.

==Easter Eggs==

:'''COACH Z:''' I love it! Where can I get me some of this hygiene?
:'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, for a guy that lives ten feet from a bunch of showers, you think you'd be a little more familiar.
:'''COACH Z:''' What showers?
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, that big tiled room with all the shower heads coming out of the wall?

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm running through a field of emails! Paranoia! Paranoia!

<blockquote class="lappy email"><div>
subject: concert</div>
Hey Strong Bad,<br />
Have you ever been to a concert? If you have what type<br />
of concert was it?<br />
Your Dragon,<br />
Trogdor *smiley face*
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad's speech becomes distressed as he reads the signature.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Wipe that smiley face off your the words 'smiley face.' You do ''not'' impersonate The Burninator, got it?

''{As Strong Bad says this, a Trogdor sprite walks on the Lappy screen and burninates the email signature. The Trogdor Arcade Game theme music plays in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Yeah, I go to concerts. Why else would I own a pair of Hollywood Boulevards?

''{Scene cuts to the laundry room, showing a pan-out of Strong Bad wearing a pink leopard-pattern bandanna and unusual shoes, different from the ones he normally wears }''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, hello, pleatèd boots. What are you all gussied up for?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up, man! I always dress like this.

''{Cuts to close-up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm going to see Limozeen tonight. But I never heard of the opening band, so I'm gonna show up fashionably late. What are you all gussied ''down'' for?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'm going to see a show tonight too. But I've never heard of the headliner, so I'm gonna leave fashionably early.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, those two things don't sound at all related. Bye loser!

''{Both Strong Bad and Strong Sad walk off-screen, cut back to Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Hey, guess what? They were related. Apparently, Limozeen was trying to expand their audience into people that ''{pauses awkwardly}'' went to college. So, they got this band sloshy to open up for them. But Limozeen ended up canceling because...

''{A paper labeled 'LIMOZEEN Contract Rider' appears on-screen}''

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' ''{drums in background}'' Our audience must be 94% hot young females with bangs higher than or equal to our own. ''{Drums get more intense}'' And also a deviled egg tray! ''{The words "Deviled Egg Tray!" appear hand-written on the contract}''

''{Paper disappears}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, Limozeen just hung out in their tour bus and watched ESPN Classic all night, while sloshy played both sets. Needless to say, I was perplexed, and intriguéd.

''{Cut to The Field, at night. Strong Bad and Strong Sad are walking back home.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, help me out here. Were they missing some members? Where was their lead guitarist?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, that was the ''whole band.''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! You're not allowed to have a band with only ''three people'' in it! And something else suspicious. What happened to the bassist's sunglasses? Did the lenses fall out?

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, Strong Bad, those were just ''regular glasses.''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shock and horror!

''{Cut to The Basement. Strong Bad and Strong Sad are playing an Atari game}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But they must be like, a brand new band, right?

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, they've been around for five or six years now...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then why haven't they grown their hair long yet?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I think those are just their haircuts, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Really?''

''{Cut to the bathroom. Strong Sad is brushing his teeth, while Strong Bad is just standing there talking, holding his toothbrush.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So somebody must've stolen their costume trailer, huh? Man, that's rough. They couldn't wear any of their spandex, or latex, or... Tex-mex...

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{takes toothbrush out of mouth to speak}'' ''{annoyed}'' They don't wear costumes. They were probably just wearing what they'd been wearing all day.

'''STRONG BAD:''' But... The music rocked.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{takes toothbrush out of mouth again to speak}'' Yes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And they weren't wearing costumes.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{takes toothbrush out of mouth again to speak, and shakes his head}'' ''No.''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Huh... Interesting.

''{cut to a mud-bath area in the field. Strong Bad and Strong Sad both have towels on their heads and cucumber slices on their eyes. Strong Sad's stomach is sticking out of the top of the mud bath}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There were no high leg kicks, or choreographed spin moves... And that one guy even had his back to us all night.

''{zoom-in to Strong Bad and Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's like they don't really even care about me. Like when they played that song called 'We don't really even care about you'?

''{Cut to The Basement. A sloshy CD in [[SeeDees]] is playing the just-mentioned song. Zoom out to Homestar and Strong Bad playing with [[Cheat Commandos]] toys.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And ''no'' pyrotechnics?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nope. They just strung a bunch of Christmas lights over their bass drum.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{somewhat perturbed}'' And they still rocked?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, totally! And they can't be bothered to play solos, so they always leave a space to sing your own! Check out these ''mow da mows.''

''{Strong Bad imitates an electric guitar solo. Homestar is, unsurprisingly, amazed at this feat.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{walking up}'' Hey, hey! ''slosh-ay!''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''slosh-ay!''

'''HOMESTAR:''' You guys are ''so lame.''

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And that's how sloshy became one of my favorite metal bands.

''{Cut back to show Strong Sad standing nearby, holding a sloshy vinyl record.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, Strong Bad, I wouldn't exactly call sloshy ''metal.''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What're you talkin' about? Of course they're metal. Look at the facts.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No costume.

''{A costume appears on the screen, which is promptly X-ed out}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Short hair.

''{Long yellow hair appears, which promptly morphs into short brown hair}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...A logo that's not jaggedy or drippety at all...

''{A jagged, non upside-down rendition of the sloshy logo appears, which then turns upside-down and becomes the normal sloshy logo.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And songs that aren't about girls... Los Angeles... or good... times...

''{A CD appears with a track listing reading '1. Smokin' fine honey-child; 2. Sunset Strip(pers); 3. Party Patrol' appears, and then changes to read '1. ok fine; 2. unripe; 3. art troll'.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{record scratch}'' Hey, wait a minute! You tricked me! sloshy's not metal!

'''STRONG SAD:''' I didn't ''trick'' you, I was just helping you broaden your horizons...

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll broaden ''your'' horizons!

''{Strong Bad grabs the sloshy record and slams it over Strong Sad's head, shattering it and leaving a piece embedded in the top of Strong Sad's head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And that's how sloshy became one of my least favorite bands.

''{[[New Paper]] slides down}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh... That sound... It's got no punch. You just kinda slither out, like a boring lizard's tongue. Let's try this.

''{Strong Bad pulls out a floppy disk and chucks it into New Paper. It sticks at the top of the screen.}''

''{New Paper prints some more, now saying 'How ya like me now?' A grinding sound can be heard instead of the normal paper sound, and plastic chunks fall from where the floppy disk is}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There we go... We're good at least until you completely shred that disk.

''{New Paper retracts slightly. The grinding sound can be heard, and more plastic chunks fall.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end, click on the word "favorite" to see a short scene with Senor Cardgage.
:''{Cut to the Field. Senor Cardgage is standing on a lawn mower. A bush is nearby.)''
:'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Why, hello, Miss Trela. Check out Senor Cardgage's Intregway.
:''{The Intregway logo appears beside him, then disappears}''
:'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Dump tell no mandy, ''{the words "Dump Tell No Mandy!" flash at bottom of screen}'' it's just a land mower turned bankways! If you help me buy it, I'll cut you in!
:''{Strong Bad eagerly runs over.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll help you buy it! I'll help you buy it!
:''{Senor silently drives the Intregway offscreen.}''
*Click on the word "bands" at the end to see a [[Limozeen: "but they're in space!"]] cartoon.
:''{Mary sits in the Space Machine watching what sounds like basketball on ESPN Classic. Larry stands, watching as well with a displeased look. A whistle blow is heard.}''
:'''MARY:''' Wow! That Danny Ainge complains about every call! ''{begins eating what appears to be a basketball}''
:'''LARRY:''' I'm totally mesmerized by Kevin McHale's armpit haaair! ''{gestures wildly with his hands}'' Oooeeuuh! ''{punches the air with one hand}''
*Click on the reflection of Strong Bad's diamond at the end to see where the mud baths came from.
:''{Strong Bad and Strong Sad are in their "mud baths".}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Where did these mud baths come from? These things are awesome!
:''{The Poopsmith rises out of Strong Sad's bath, wearing a snorkel and goggles. Strong Bad and Strong Sad scream.}''

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
*A [[Wikipedia:Rider (theater)|rider]] is a set of requests or demands that a performer sets as criteria for performance.
*The term [[Wikipedia:Tex-Mex|tex-mex]] (which Strong Bad incorrectly uses as a description of a textile) refers to several things, such as a style of cuisine, a style of music, and a railway.

<blockquote>LIMOZEEN<br>
Contract Rider<br><br>
*114 cans of hairspray
*4 tubes of Leather Pants Remover
*Audience must be 94% hot young<br>females with bangs higher than or<br>equal to our own
*Jenga or Pictionary
</blockquote>

=== Remarks ===
*Strong Sad claims to have never heard of Limozeen, despite the fact that he watched a cartoon starring them in [[best thing]].
*This is one of the few times [[Decemberween#References to Christmas|Christmas]] has been directly mentioned in the Homestar Runner universe instead of [[Decemberween]].
*This email contains several of the increasingly less rare occasions of [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship#Strong Bad and Strong Sad Getting Along|Strong Bad and Strong Sad getting along]].
*Strong Sad [[Strong Sad smiling|smiles]] twice in this email: first when mocking Strong Bad's outfit, and then when entering the room where Strong Bad is telling Homestar about sloshy.
*In the mud bath Easter egg, both Strong Bad and Strong Sad can see The Poopsmith, despite having cucumber slices on their eyes.
*Strong Sad either has a special left handed Atari 2600 joystick or is playing the game holding the joystick sideways, as a standard joystick has its button in the upper left hand corner.
*The spots on Strong Bad's bandana that form the leopard print are covering the creases in the fabric
*The sloshy record that Strong Bad throws at Strong Sad must be made of shellac or some other substance, commonly used in making of older records, instead of PVC (which would not emit the "shatter" sound when breaking).

Experimental Film Visuals

Mathgrant: Grammar

Below is a chart showing the visuals that occur during the music video [[Experimental Film]].

{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 style="border-collapse:collapse"
|- bgcolor=#eeeeee
! width=300 | Lyrics !! width=600 | Visuals
|-
|''(Intro)'' || A scene on a kitchen table where cups of coffee and a glass of water are hit by drumsticks as if they were a drum set, causing splashes for each beat at the start of the song.
|-
|The color of infinity inside an empty glass || Black-and-white film style. [[Strong Sad]] is looking through a glass of ice water on a table in front of him. The view gradually zooms out to reveal a bare bulb hanging from the ceiling behind him. At the end of the zoom, Strong Sad makes a sighing motion.
|-
|I'm squinting my eye and turning off || Strong Sad is standing in front of an [[ATM]] in [[The Field]]. The left edge of the film reel is exposed. Strong Sad hesitantly raises his finger toward the keypad on the ATM.
|-
|and on and on and off the light || The ATM screen fills the frame, with Strong Sad's reflection visible and the words "CHECK BALANCE??" flashing on it. For a brief moment, the view switches to an extreme close-up of Strong Sad's eye, which snaps shut in a sort of flinch.
|-
|It's for this experimental film || The left edge of the film reel is exposed in the middle of the frame, leaving a large amount of white space on the left side. Strong Sad is standing in The Field on the right, watching the exposed sprocket holes go by.
|-
|Which nobody knows about, and which || Gradual zoom-in on a close-up of Strong Sad's face, wearing a vacant expression and looking at something just below the camera. The flashing text "CHECK BALANCE??" is somehow reflected on his forehead.
|-
|I'm still figuring out what's going to go || A bare lightbulb swings back and forth in front of the camera, while a pencil drawing of a lightbulb is projected over it.
|-
|In my experimental film || Strong Sad is filming himself in a mirror with what looks like [[Cameras|a Super-8 camera]]. A bare bulb hangs at the top-left of the frame. Near the end of the shot, Strong Sad opens the eye that isn't pressed to the eyepiece, and blinks twice.
|-
|Yeah, you're all gonna be in this experimental || Switch to [[Powered by The Cheat]] style. The tentacle skull rides an old bicycle across a football field, while the people in the stands flip a series of large signs to show "YEAH!", a coffee cup, and a mountain scene.
|-
|film, And even though I can't || The PBTC head-tops of [[They Might Be Giants|John Flansburgh and John Linnell]] appear against a mountain-scene backdrop. A speech bubble appears over Flansburgh saying "yeah.", which is soon replaced by another one coming from Linnell and saying "film."
|-
|explain it || A very chaotic scene briefly flashes up, involving a large green horse-like silhouette with a red banner reading "YEAH!" hanging over its back.
|-
|I already know how || Switch to black-and-white film style. Strong Sad's head fills the frame once again, but this time the flashing text "MAKE DEPOSIT??" is reflected on his head.
|-
|great it's || Switch to Powered by The Cheat style. A series of different-sized ATMs appears on an arctic landscape with an igloo in the background. Each ATM screen bears a single letter, with the series spelling out "EXPERIMENTALFILM". The entire row of ATMs flashes twice, and a penguin pokes its head out of a small patch of water in the lower-left of the frame.
|-
|I already know the ending, It's the part that || Switch to black-and-white film style. Strong Sad is wearing a shaving cream beard and looking at himself in the mirror. He lifts a razor to his face, then sighs and puts it down without doing anything.
|-
|makes your face implode || Switch to an animated pen drawing of a coffee cup and a drumstick on yellow lined paper. The drumstick hits the surface of the coffee three times, once for every beat that occurs during this scene.
|-
|I don't know what makes your face || Back to black-and-white film style. Strong Sad is front and center, dressed as the Grim Reaper, complete with scythe. Both edges of the film reel are exposed.
|-
|implode, But that's || Again, both edges of the film are exposed. Grim Reaper Strong Sad and regular Strong Sad are looking at each other in The Field by way of a rather obvious split-screen technique.
|-
|the way the movie ends || Switch to animated pen drawings on white lined paper. A framed picture of a man with his head turned away is visible, with the script "Our Gracious Host" written underneath it. The man in the picture briefly turns to look forward, then turns back as the camera zooms in on him.
|-
|And in my experimental film || Switch to a muffin sitting on a table. In the background, a window is seen, showing a rising and setting sun. On the table, a flower blooms out of a flower pot.
|-
|which nobody knows about, but which || Switch to Strong Sad looking at his hands with a horrified expression. There are large cracks in his hands, and dozens of tiny The Cheats are crawling out of the cracks.
|-
|I'm still figuring out, your face || Switch to a wall of multi-colored tiles. A globe in spinning in front of it, with nothing on it but land in the shape of a dinosaur.
|-
|implodes in my experimental film || Switch to Strong Sad and the ATM waist-deep in water. The lightbulb swinging above them, silhouetted like a wrecking ball.
|-
|Yeah, you're all gonna be in this || Switch to a pop quiz written on a piece of paper. There four answers written on the paper, 1.) Yeah! 2.) the cotton gin 3.) Appomattox 4.) 755. "Yeah!" is highlighted. A+ is written at the top of the page in red pen.
|-
|experimental film, and even || Switch to Strong Sad in front of the ATM, the word "YEAH!!" reflected on his forehead, flashing.
|-
|though I can't explain it || Switch to the ATM screen, with a Powered by The Cheat lion in a beanie cap on it, with "it's a lion!" written under it.
|-
|I already || Switch to a piece of paper with the word "YEAH!!" erased on it, lying next to a pencil. A drawing of the tentacle skull rides across the piece of paper.
|-
|know how great it's || Switch to Strong Sad standing in a corner, his shadow moving back and forth behind him
|-
|even though I can't explain it, I || Switch to the lightbulb swinging back and forth, as [[Gavin]] crawls up the wall.
|-
|already know how great it's || Switch to PBTC-style, at the football field. The people in the stands flip the signs to show the word "YEAH," the tentacle skull riding the bike, and an olive on a toothpick.
|-
|''(Instrumental)'' || Switch to film style, with [[Homestar Runner]] playing "Space Invaders" on the ATM, with presidents instead of spaceships, holding an Atari 2600 joystick. Strong Sad comes from the left of the screen and yells at him. Homestar drops the joystick and runs away. Switch to Grim Reaper Strong Sad and normal Strong Sad looking at each other through split-screen again. Homestar looks in the shot from the middle of the screen, half of his body invisible, exposing the split-screen even more. Strong Sad yells at him again and Homestar runs away. Switch to [[Strong Bad]] and [[Strong Mad]] at the ATM. Strong Mad is shaking the ATM violently, and Strong Bad is collecting all the money that falls out. Strong Sad appears again and yells at them. Strong Mad hurls the ATM up in the air, and they both run away in fear, leaving the money behind. The ATM is then seen to fall behind the bushes in the background.
|-
|The color of infinity inside an empty glass || Switch to Powered by The Cheat-style John Flansburgh and John Linnell standing under a clock.
|-
|It's for this experimental film, which nobody knows about || Switch back to film style. Strong Sad is standing in the middle of the frame, and both edges of the film reel are exposed. The image of Strong Sad shakes back and forth, and the film dissolves, showing a PBTC Strong Sad raising up his hands.
|-
|and which I'm still || Switch back to film style. Strong Sad is in front of his mirror with a shaving cream beard and a razor. He shaves away a strip of shaving cream.
|-
|figuring out what's going || Switch to an extreme close up of a PBTC-style [[The Cheat]] shaving.
|-
|what's going to go in my || Switch to the field again, with the left side of the film reel exposed, a large amount of empty white space on the side of the frame. Strong Sad watches the sprocket holes go by, and then jumps past them into the white space.
|-
|experimental film || Switch to Strong Sad falling through empty space, the heads of various presidents from the ATM spinning around him.
|-
|Yeah, you're all gonna be in this || Switch to Homestar, Strong Bad and Strong Mad in The Field dancing.
|-
||experimental film || Switch to a computer keyboard where the Y, E, A and H keys are lined up together. A finger presses all four of them.
|-
|and even though || Switch to the football field, where a PBTC Strong Sad falls from the air and lands in the ground. The people in the stands hold up the signs forming the words "it's a lion."
|-
|I can't explain it, I || Switch to film style, where the ATM is surrounded by water again. The right side of the film reel is exposed. The finger that pressed the keyboard reaches out of the water.
|-
|already know how great it's gonna || Switch to Strong Sad in a desert being chased by the ATM wearing a football helmet.
|-
|Yeah, you're gonna || Switch to a PBTC John Flansburgh and John Linnell and a film-style Strong Sad in front of the mountain backdrop. Strong Sad jumps up, and so do Flansburgh and Linnell.
|-

|-

; CGNU : With their new E-niversity, you can get a degree in Caps Lock Technician in just four clicks!

; G : I can count to it!

Mathgrant: /* Nintendo 64 */ I can't believe no one added this!

[[Image:TC_MM_NES.png|thumb|350px|"''The Adventures of Lolo''? You better have saved the receipt!"]]

[[Wikipedia:Nintendo|'''Nintendo''']] is one of the biggest video game companies today, known for its impact on the video game industry and influential games. [[The Brothers Chaps]] have praised Nintendo in many [[Interviews and Public Appearances|interviews]] and have made many Nintendo references on the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner site]].

The probable reason for the prevalance of Nintendo allusions throughout [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] and [[Mike Chapman|Mike]]'s work is the central part the Nintendo Entertainment System [[The_Boston_Globe_Interview_-_9_Aug_2003|played in their upbringing]]. Along with cartoons and [[Breakfast Cereal|breakfast cereal]], the NES was an important part of their Saturday mornings as children. As one of their motivations in creating Homestar Runner has been to [[All_Things_Considered_Interview_-_8_May_2005|recreate this lost cultural experience]], it is not surprising that they have infused their work liberally with references to Nintendo.

== A Really Short Definition List ==
; AAAAAAAA : My name, according to the guy after me at Best Buy who just pressed the confirm button a lot after I failed to input a name for my high score in the Guitar Hero demo. I'm serious.
; Blue : What Marzipan calls black.
; CGNU : With their new E-niversity, you can get a degree in Caps Lock Technician in just four clicks!
; Decemberween : The best one ever was in 2001.
; Everybody : Name of some guy who likes the Homestar Runner. The intro page seems to be dedicated to him: "Everybody! La-di-da-di-da!"
; Fraternity : I don't really know what this word means. I think it means, like, friendship, or bondage, or something. . .
; G : I can count to it!
; Haldo: A word of salutation used by bow salesmen who live behind fences which can be knocked down by scaring horses named Gary. For some reason.
; Infinity : When you put it in an empty glass, it becomes colorful and a great subject for, say, experimental films.
; Jig : Strong Bad quickly discovers that this dance is more effective for catching fish than a lure is.
; King : What the King of Town claims to be.
; Limozeen : A band that Strong Bad likes. One time, their name was at the top of the screen, but Larry didn't know that.
; Mississippi Mud : A delicious cake-type thing that's SOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOD. Seriously, you ought to try one. And if you're under 10, good luck spelling it.
; Nothing : What Strong Bad got Marzipan for her birthday. Also, what The Poopsmith says.
; O RLY? : According to a new law passed on the internet, anyone who fails to respond to this with a YA RLY! will be fined a million billion dollars.
; Pee : I really got, I really gotta do this, I really got, I really gotta do this, do this.
; Qat : A word Scrabble players LOVE, and most people don't know what it means.
; Rust : The perfect bicycle brake. (Hey, if it worked in Earthbound. . .)
; Sbu : Making Bubs say this word renders him incapable of lying -- I mean, flying.
; Typhlosion : A Pokemon character, and mathgrant's favorite, possibly. The fact that he even knows Pokemon besides Pikachu exist probably makes him insane.
; UPPERCASE : WHAT THIS ENTIRE LINE IS IN.
; Viral Fox : Ever since mathgrant created a song entitled this, it's become his random running gag with which he annoys everybody else. Viral fox, viral fox, viral fox. See? It works.
; Website : I'm Homestar, and this is one.
; Xenophobic : The fear of strangers. Hey, I had to put SOMETHING for X.
; Yon dungeon : Where a SCROLL and a FLASK usually reside.
; Zero : mathgrant ''wishes'' his IQ were this high.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Check that email, check it down, check that email, smack it around.

<blockquote class="tandy email">dear strong bad,<br />
<br />
i want to be a graduate of Crazy Go Nuts <br />
University, just like you. Please let me know <br />
how i can accomplish this goal.<br />
thank you.<br />
<br />
Margo</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm glad you asked me, Margo.

''{Strong Bad gets up from his seat and enters an office, as if he's doing a commercial. Some flute music starts playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do you want to be more awesome? Sure! We all do. Here in Crazy Go Nuts University, you can get the experience you'll need to be almost half as awesome as I am. Get your certificate in:

''{A list starts to scroll from the bottom of the screen, and Strong Bad reads off each entry as it goes by.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Cheesing People Off, Indian-Giving, Cutting Ones, Doing Some Other Things, Home Invasion, Cracking Wise, World Domination, Sending Me a Dollar, Total Spaceship Guy, TV / VCR Repair, or GET YOUR DEGREE!

''{The list disappears. Cut to a close-up on Strong Bad's face}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Applying is easy, just take this free art test.

''{Strong Bad holds up the art test, which the camera then focuses on. At the top are blanks for Name and Age. There is also a drawing of the guy with a big knife, captioned with "Draw me!" on top and "Guy w/ big knife" on the bottom. At the bottom of the test is the box for drawing him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Fill out the test and send it back to us. And you will be well on your way to a better, awesomer you.

''{Cut from the paper back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Remember, at Crazy Go Nuts University, the future is. . . you. Probably.

''{The CGNU logo appears on-screen}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Actual applicants not accepted. Art test is only so we can make fun of you.

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

''{About every 4 seconds, the medalion of the CGNU Logo shines. The process repeats.}''

== Fun Facts ==

===Remarks===
*When viewing the Flash file, right click "play" at the end to view a white screen with the front of Strong Bad's hand display for several seconds, then start the email over again. This is most likely where The Brothers Chaps designed the front of Strong Bad's hand, and it was never removed.

===Inside References===
*The [[Painting of a guy with a big knife]] on the art test is from [[i love you]].
*The entrance test for CGNU is offered in [[Homestar Quiz]].
*The sign on Strong Bad's desk reads, "Prinicpal Strong Bad." First seen in the Homestar Quiz, this misspelling, intentional or not, becomes the accepted spelling for Strong Bad's title.

===Real-World References===
*This is a parody of commercials for various schools and colleges, most notably [[Wikipedia:Correspondence school|ICS (International Correspondence Schools)]], which often contain a list of subjects students could study, usually ending with, "or, get your degree!"
*This is also a parody of the [http://www.artists-ais.com/free/index.php Art Instruction Schools], which advertise, "Simply complete this free art test and send it back. Your test will be professionally graded to see if you have the interest required to become a serious artist." The art test in the ad asked you to copy a drawing of a pirate, parodied here by "guy with knife."

===Fast Forward===
*Prinicpal Strong Bad makes an appearance in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]].

== DVD Version ==
*The DVD version adds a hidden commentary by Homestar and Mike. Just switch your DVD player's language selection during the email to access it.

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Surprise, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' Uh-oh. Hey, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's not Matt ''or'' a Strong Bad.

'''MIKE:''' It's Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's right! You remembered my name this time!

'''MIKE:''' That's right! Uh, have I ever forgotten your name?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes, several times.

'''MIKE:''' Okay, um, what do you have to say about this email?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, it looks like Strong Bad in the school man.

'''MIKE:''' Look, it says, a misspelling there, it says "Prinicpal Strong Bad."

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Prinicpal... What's that?

'''MIKE:''' Well—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' When did he get promoted to Prinicpal?

'''MIKE:''' Did you take any, uh, classes at Crazy Go Nuts University?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes. I... I took the Cutting Ones class, Mike, I'll tell you what!

'''MIKE:''' Uh, what'd you get?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I got a D.

'''MIKE:''' You weren't very good at that class.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, I could never perform.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, Okay. You tried.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I—I took Sending Me a Dollar. I got—I got my ''degree'' in Sending Me a Dollar.

'''MIKE:''' Sending Strong Bad a dollar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, me.

'''MIKE:''' Oh. I thought it was—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I took a class called "Sending ''Me'' a Dollar," and I sent me a dollar.

'''MIKE:''' Did you draw that guy with the big knife?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I—I passed.

'''MIKE:''' Did the gu—have to draw the guy with the big knife?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I ended up drawing a girl with a salad.

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' Girl with a salad?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I'm not a very good artist.

Strong Bad shows us several examples of character trading cards.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|Coach Z}}, {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, [[Cheatball]], {{Film|Stinkoman}}, {{Film|Strong Sad}}

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[Planet K]]

{{Comp|Lappy 486}}

'''Date:''' September 11, 2006

'''Running Time:'''

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Away you dribble down the court with an email, you leave your dreams at the top of the keeey. ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Trading Stong-gum</div>
Hey Strongbad-<br />
You should have trading cards...With a stick of gum in them.<br />
Nerdly yours,<br />
Daniel,<br />
N.S. CANADA
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "Another freakin' guy named Daniel" instead of "Daniel" and "not safe, in Canada" instead of "N.S. CANADA".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing and whispering}'' Oh, Thanks for the tip, Daniel. I'll lay low here in the states for a while until things cool off. ''{clears screen}'' Daniel, trading cards are the biggest waste of not a video game on the planet! In fact, I thought trading cards were outlawed the day they invented good graphics. As for that "gum" that comes with them, I'm pretty sure they replaced that with a pink piece of balsa wood back in the early 80's and nobody ever noticed. So, no, I shouldn't have trading cards. But most of the other idiots around here have engaged in some form of trading cardery. Let's rag on them, shall we?

''{A small area of the top of Strong Bad's computer desk is shown, and trading cards are put on it as Strong Bad introduces them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' First up is Coach Z's line of vaguely sportsish managerial cards. What self-respecting twelve-year-old doesn't want to collect pictures of the smelly old men behind their favorite sports teams? And who could resist memorizing all these fabulous stats? Ooh, a record high of 23 butt pats in '84.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad on his Lappy, with Homestar Runner next to him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And, who do you think was the lucky recipient of all those butt pats 'cept a one?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let me guess, it—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{interrupting}'' No, it was me. It was like I was made to hustle that season.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, who got that last butt pat?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. I think he gave himself that one. He's re-known for his self-butt pats.

''{closeup of Strong Bad's head}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, ''known'' in seven states.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' What?

''{Cut back to Strong Bad typing on his Lappy. He clears the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Next up, we got the Cheat's trading card game, which is really more like a trading card activity or trading card goings-on, because the word 'game' implies fun and enjoyment.

''{Cut to the top of Strong Bad's computer desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' And you won't find none of that here.

''{Wipe to 20X6 the field with Stinkoman and Cheatball.}''

'''STINKOMAN''': CHEATBALL POISON RAIN VORNADO!!!

''{He throws the Cheatball toward the screen.}''

'''CHEATBALL''': Cheatball!

''{It explodes in a green cloud of gas. As it dissipates, numbers appear in the four corners of the screen and change rapidly. The words "PLAY GET!" flashes on the screen and the 20x6 credit song plays}''

'''STINKOMAN''': Uhm, so, did I win? Does anyone know how this game works?

''{Wipe back to the top of Strong Bad's computer desk with trading cards lying on it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' I'll trade you your Cheatball card for my Deathly Palor Lonely Lurker Attack card.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad on his Lappy, with Homestar Runner next to him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, those aren't even from the same lame game. Or SLG.

''{closeup of Strong Bad's head}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Your'' game is for musky nerds to play in the basement of the freshmen dorms. This cutesy Japanesey game is for little kids to play during recess, to make sure they don't get any real exercise.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad on his Lappy, with Homestar Runner next to him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But how are them kids gonna earn any butt pats if they won't hustle it out?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't think butt pats are part of the approved curriculum in elementary schools these days.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, that's just sad.

''{Strong Bad turns back to his Lappy; cut back to him typing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' The only trading cards I really gave a toot about were...

''{Cut to the top of Strong Bad's computer desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' .. the Poopsmith's line of gross-out cards for kids.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' I'll trade you that Petey POOPsmith for this Marzi-PANCAKE.

''{Cut back. Homestar is still there.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You just keep showing up, don't ya?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, okay, I'll throw in this rare STING of Town, too.

''{Cut to the top of Strong Bad's computer desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' How 'bout I trade ''you''...

''{Cut back to Strong Bad on his Lappy, with Homestar Runner next to him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...a "get outta my face" for this...

''{Cut to Strong Bad drawing on a sticky note, with the Lappy in front of him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' uhhhh...

''{Cut to the top of Strong Bad's computer desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' ...one of a kind Strong Bad bench-pressing dinosaurs collector's card.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Hooo-ray!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad on his Lappy, with Homestar Runner next to him. Homestar is covered in sticky notes with Strong Bad and dinosaurs on them.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' My collection is complete! And ''here'', my good man, is your "get outta your face". ''{runs off}''

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. After some time has passed...}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' How many times have we had that conversation?

''{Homestar Runner quickly pops his head back into the screen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{quickly}'' Thirty-five!

''{disappears again quickly}''

[[Image:Fan with dimetrodon.PNG|thumb|i fan myself w/ dimetrodon]]
*Click on "good graphics" to reveal the title screen of the 1982 [[Videlectrix]] video game [[C.H.E.A.T.]]
*Click on the Strong Sad card when Strong Bad turns around to see another Strong Sad card.
*Click on the stack of cards at the end to see all of the trading cards featured in this email up close.
*Click on the sticky notes on the floor at the end to see them up close.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*Coach Z's trading cards are references to sports cards which often feature an image of a player of a sport playing said sport. Statistics like the ones on the back of Coach Z's cards are similar to the statistics found on sports cards as well.

===Trivia===
*This is the first time we have ever seen 20X6 The Cheat's real name, heard him speak, or even seen what he actually looks like, other than his face.
*The floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#kyrandia_series|kyrandia series]]".

===Remarks===
*The [[Wikipedia:Dimetrodon|Dimetrodon]] Strong Bad fans himself with in an Easter egg was a real creature that is commonly mistaken for a dinosaur. In actuality, it was a synapsid (mammal-like reptile) that lived before the first dinosaurs appeared.

===Goofs===
*For a single frame, Strong Bad's drawing (148 more reps!) remains after he lifts the [[Sticky Notes|sticky note]] up.
*When this email was first released, "Pallor" was spelled as "Palor" on Strong Sad's playing card. This has since been fixed.
*When this email was first released, clicking on the sticky notes at the end did nothing. This was promptly fixed by TBC.

===Inside References===
*Strong Sad's Grim Reaper costume originally appeared in [[Experimental Film]].
*Strong Sad was known as "The Deathly Pallor" in [[impression]]; this is also the name of his [[The Deathly Pallor|radio host alter-ego]] in [[radio]].
*This is another appearance of [[Butt-Patting|butt-patting]].
*This is also another appearance of [[Dan]].
*Strong Sad was described as a lurker in [[garage sale]] and [[Senorial Day]].
*"Crunk Warriors" refers to Coach Z's hip-hop tendencies.

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' When email comes to town, you know, you know it's like a rainstorm ... in your browser. ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: theme song</div>
Dear Super Bad,<br/>
It bugs me how your email show doesn't have a theme song.<br/>
If it did have a theme song, your show would be a whole<br/>
lot cooler.<br/>
Jonathan Shaheen<br/>
Ontario, Canada
</blockquote>

''{He pronouces "Shaheen" as "Shaheeeeen", and lens flares and a sound effect appear over the name. He pronounces the location as "on-ta-REE-oh, cah-nah-DAH"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh, a little south of the border flavor. ''{typing}'' Dear Supper Bag, It bugs ''me'' how your face doesn't have a not tons of acne. If it did have a not tons of acne, ''you'' would be a whole lot cooler.

''{Strong Bad clears the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Look, you don't know what you're talking about, Shaheen ''{Strong Bad pronounces "Shaheen" as "Shaheeeen", and the Shaheen special effect appears over the word}''  Theme songs are just an excuse for showmakers to make less show. I'm sure viewership would triple if I had one of those crappy cartoon theme songs that bludgeons you over the head with the blunt end of the show's premise.

''{Theme song music fades in over his last words. Cut to a smiling Strong Bad prancing in the basement.}''

'''CRAPPY CARTOON THEME SONG:''' ''{singing}'' <br/>
Strong Bad is a wrestle man, <br/>
He's the email-checkinest guy in the land.<br/>
He checks real emails from the net,<br/>
He's got two brothers and The Cheat, his pet. The Cheat, his Pet!<br/>

''{"STRONG BAD" appears on the screen as the name is sung. Strong Bad types with boxing gloves on. Lappy flies into the screen, showing an email from punkkid87.}''

<blockquote class="lappy email" style="background-image:none">
Dear Strong Bad,<br/>
I love your Tragdor!<br/>
Draw him AGAIN!!!<br/><br/>
-punkkid87
</blockquote>

''{Strong Mad and Strong Sad dance in the disco as they are announced. The Cheat slides into the screen and gets a close-up.}''

There's nobody dumber than Homestar Runner,<br/>
On the Strong Bad Email Show!

''{Homestar Runner breaks through the computer desk and bites into a sandwich of light bulbs. The title of the Strong Bad show appears with Strong Bad's smiling face in front of a pink heart design.}''

''{The music ends. Cut back to Strong Bad sitting in front of the lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And the ratings have gone through the roof. And let's not forget the life-affirming pop-ballad type theme song. Probably sung by some variety of Neville.

''{Fade to a scene with an empty computer desk. The title "the Strong Bad Email Show" flies into the screen. There are flowers on the desk and pictures of The Cheat, Strong Mad and Strong Bad on the wall. The characters are introduced with their pictures flying through the screen and their names appearing on the screen. Strong Bad shows a shadow Trogdor to The Cheat.}''

'''POP BALLAD-TYPE THEME SONG''' ''{singing}''<br/>
You and me babe, livin' for dreams.<br/>
Life is for love, drinking for free.<br/>
This is no time for the long road but sharing and caring it out.<br/>
Memory struggling and...

''{The music fades out and a clip show starts, as Strong Bad's voiceover begins. Strong Bad is shown drinking a mix of coffee and a "COLD ON", he floats through space, he looks up from typing on his laptop, and then throws a stack of paper in the air.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And of course the best clips they show are from the un-aired pilot that you'll never see.

'''POP BALLAD-TYPE THEME SONG''' ''{singing}''<br/>
Livery shurming you down... ''{fade out}''

''{The final shot shows Strong Bad in a tank before the clip show fades out to "created by Lem Sportsinterviews".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And just when you think you finally get to start watching some of the actual show, now you get to watch a commercial!

''{Cut to real-life hands holding coins and peanuts. "$BUTT" is stamped on the screen, and then a Cakkalate brand calculator displays "BUTT X 2". Cut to the CGNU online e-niversity: "website Coming Soon(ish)". A set of college flags is shown, and then a hand clicking a mouse button demonstrates how easy it is to get degrees.}''

'''COMMERCIAL GUY 1:''' ''{voiceover}'' Do you make(s)butt at your current job? Do you want to make twice butt? A shady online degree is just four clicks away at CGNU online e-niversity. Most colleges take four years to complete. At CGNU, one year equals one click.

''{Cut to Senor Cardgage in front of some boxes. His degrees are displayed on the screen as he moves his hand down.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' I got fourteen degrees while on my lunch take. Now I can legally prescribe marriages in the state of Kansattica.

'''COMMERCIAL GUY 1:''' ''{voiceover}'' Enroll now, and join the e-niversity e-volution e-day. Uh, well, today. That last one didn't quite work out.

''{The slogan is dispplayed over an "(On)line CGNU e-NIVERSITY" medal, as the commercial guy #1 says it.}''

''{Cut to a Powered By The Cheat-style intertitle showing Strong Bad chasing his laptop.}''

'''ANNOUNCER 1:''' ''{voiceover}'' We'll be right back with more Strong Bad emails.

''{Cut to balding man standing in front of a newspaper background.}''

'''COMMERCIAL GUY 2:''' ''{voiceover}'' Do you wanna cut your own arm off?

'''BALDING MAN:''' Huuuuaaaahuuuh...

''{Cut back to Strong Bad typing on his computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Now, don't worry. Just in case you were hoping to get gipped out of another minute of actual show, you get to hear the jazzy instrumental version over the end credits!

''{Cut to Strong Bad talking into a microphone in front of Bub's concession stand at night. End credits are shown over the scene.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And on the off-chance that you actually wanted to hear the theme song ... we've taken care of that, too.

''{A program preview moves into the screen and squeezes the Strong Bad Email Show end credits into the left third of the screen. As the announcer announces "Three is 4 Tonite" the logo and the faces of the four main characters are shown. The graphics for the Cheat Commandos show Reynold being taped to a rocket and Fightgar checking the tape.}''

'''ANNOUNCER 2:''' ''{voiceover}'' Coming up later on "Three is 4 Tonite": join Mandy, Brandy, Andy, and Scurge, as they learn how to give a care. But first: they're tiny, they're toony, they're <i>all</i> a little looney. It's the Cheat Commandos.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You see, Shaheen? ''{The Shaheen special effect appears}'' You're basically asking me to dedicate 2 minutes of my 3 to 5 minute email show, to what is essentially a commercial for something you're already watching! And besides, I give you people a new sbemail song every freakin' week. Allow me to leave you with the old standard 'When Email Comes to Town, You Know, You Know, It's Like a Rainstorm... In Your Browser.'

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' When email comes to town, you know, you know, it's like a
rainstorm... in your browser.

''{The Paper comes down.}''

''{Funky theme song music is played, while the Power By The Cheat show preview squeezes into the screen.}''

'''ANNOUNCER 3:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''{chuckles}'' Next up on Powered By The Cheat: Strong Mad gets his own talk show. And his first guest is hilarity!

''{Powered by The Cheat Strong Mad sits behind a late night talk show host desk in fron of a skyline, and the guest with a The Cheat face with glasses jumps up from his seat and bounces in front of the camera.}''

April Fools' 2006

2006-05-22T17:26:40Z

Mathgrant: /* Glitches */

[[Image:Intro decision page flipped.png|thumb|Which way is up again?]]
On '''[[Wikipedia:April Fool's Day|April Fool's Day]] 2006''', [[The Brothers Chaps]] flipped the site upside down.
==Fun Facts==
===Remarks===
*The following pages/sites were exempt from the flipping because they are hosted separately from the main H*R content or are not Flash files:
**[[Strong Bad's Website]]
**[[Store]] and [[Store Thank You Messages]]
**[[Legal]]
**[[Strong Sad's Lament]]
**[[Stinkoman 20X6]]
***Note that if an HTML file is put together to try to do this, the "[[Stinkoman 20X6 Trivia#General|no Flash 7]]" warning appears.
**[[Podstar Runner]]
**All the stuff in [[Museum]].
*Seek bars did not work with the flipped toons.
*Amusingly, this made [[Homsar]]'s character page [http://www.homestarrunner.com/theyCallHimFlipper.swf?contentURL=vcr_homsar.swf right-side up].
*This was the first April Fool's Day Prank that is not archived in the [[Holiday_Toons|Holiday]] section of the toons menu.
*Unlike the [[:Category:April Fools|pranks]] before it, this affected the entire Homestar Runner website. In previous pranks the main page was replaced, but if you went to an email or 'toon, it would be unaffected.

===Glitches===
*Several toons that are not the usual 550x400 resolution were not centered properly:
**[[virus]]
***This email also suffered from its custom navbar missing, so Homestar pulled his words from nowhere.
**[[Not the 100th Email!!!]]
**[[Handheld Games Menu]]
**[[flashback]] and [[Main Page 22]] were both correct, as they used their own flipper swf files, which handled the different size.
*Some pages had invisible or missing text:
**[[Under Construction]]
**[[Main Page 18]] (No HTML text in the "Store" effect.)
*In [[highschool]], the "m." on Young Strong Mad's shirt was missing.
*[[TROGDOR!]] didn't load up properly - the game itself took up only the bottom right quarter of the usual frame, and the rest was filled in with gray.
*Many buttons and other scripts on some of the site did not work, as they use the <code>_root</code> property in ActionScript to access the main scene of the Flash file. However, with the flipper file loading the main scene, <code>_root</code> actually referred to the ''flipper'', not the scene itself. The Brothers Chaps could have gotten around this by using the <code>[http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/mx2004/main_7_2/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Flash_MX_2004&file=00001522.html _lockroot]</code> property in the flipper, but it seems they didn't know about it (probably because they still use Flash 5, in which the _lockroot property doesn't exist).
**The Eject button on the [[Character Videos | Characters page]] (which normally makes Homsar's video come out of the VCR) did nothing.
**[[Edgar#Edgar's Baby's Daddy|Edgar's Baby's Daddy]] on [[candy product]] did not appear. Neither did the [[Old-Timey]] Easter egg in [[little animal]].
**The video clips in [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]] repeated themselves automatically.
**The [[Random Toon|rando]] link on the navbar did not work.
**[[The King of Town DVD]], [[King of Town Main Page]] and anything linked from there looped at the end instead of stopping.
***Additionally, [[Revenge of the King]] seems to have had a similar fate to TROGDOR! (with the broken screen), except you could not hurt The King of Town, nor did he shoot at you. The timer also didn't work.
**On the [[Decemberween Email Menu]], none of the Easter eggs worked.
**The buttons on [[Downloads]] didn't work.
**The [[Telebision Toons Menu]] didn't work.
**On any [[Strong Bad Email]]s featuring the [[Tandy 400]] or the [[Compy 386]], the contrast buttons didn't work. This includes the Easter eggs in [[gimmicks]]. The ripples on the [[Lappy 486]] appeared and disappeared much faster than normal, and did not stay if the mouse button was held down.
**In any of the [[Strong Bad's Message Bored]] Games, none of them worked right. There is no possble way to score on any of them.
**In [[First Time Here?]], the number of takes never changed.
**The [[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer]]s never loaded.
**The number of messages on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]] never changed.
*In [[Peasant's Quest]], Trogdor's voice didn't work.
**When the [[Kerrek]] is encountered, his tune did not play.
**Trying to kill [[Poor Gary]] proved unsuccessful.
*It seems that the text in the Quote of the Week wasn't bold, like before the 'flip'.
*Nothing in the [[Handheld Games Menu]] (except for [[Homestar Quiz]]), including itself, was fully playable.
**None of the buttons in the actual menu worked (except for "new games").
**None of the buttons in [[Dancin' Bubs]] worked.
**[[Homestar Talker]] did not lay out stars for each correct word, and never progressed to the Strong Bad Talker.
**Nothing but the bongos in [[Audition With Marzipan]] were playable.
**[[Bronco Trolleys]] was broken; you could click the "Play" button, but the timer didn't work and the ingredients were missing.
**Neither the text boxes nor the finished libs worked in [[Strong Libs]].
**[[Hairstyle Runner]] was playable, but many things were not visible because the top frame was off-center.
**The fortune cookies in [[Fortune Cookies]] did not work.
**The [[Spin and Say]] did not spin.
**The buttons on the [[Astro Lite]] didn't work.
*Although the [[Main Pages]] rollover effects were mostly fixed, some issues remained:
**[[Main Page 3]]: Homestar wasn't knocked back by the coconut for "Email".
**[[Main Page 8]]: The screen kept moving on "Characters".
**[[Main Page 10]]: [[The Homestar Runner]]'s body didn't expand when the bomb explodes after "Downloads".
**[[Main Page 16]]: The entire menu still didn't work properly. In fact, two versions of the copyright notice appeared at the "top" of the screen, and the trees in the background were light blue. This issue remained briefly after the revert, but was fixed soon afterwards.
**[[Main Page 18]]: On "Games", [[Sherlock]] did not mumble to himself. On "Store", the background "opened" and "closed" faster than usual, with no sound effects and no HTML behind it. These issues also remained after the prank ended, and have not yet been fixed.
**[[Main Page 22]]: The "What's New", "Weeklies", and "Main Pages" buttons appeared in their normal positions and orientations (though it's possible that it was left that way on purpose, given the theme of the page), and the partial scene from [[Peasant's Quest]] did not come in from the side.
**[[Main Page 23]]: Homestar didn't move his lips for "Toons" and didn't reply with "'Sup" for "Store". Also, the "What's New" and "Weeklies" were missing.
**[[Homsar Main Page]]: None of the effects worked, except a few bubbles appearing on "Toons".

*[[Awexome Cross 98]]: When you lost all your lives, the game froze and you saw [[The Cheat]] spinning in the tire, but the background stayed still.
*The Storyboards and Deleted Scenes in "In Search of The Yellow Dello" did not work.
*When the pages were fixed early on the morning of April 2nd, the Main Page Navigation Bar fix was not initially repaired, leaving the main page right-side up, but the News button and Main Page numbers flipped.
*The musical t-shirts from the [[Store]] were put in a upside down box at the bottom of the page with its light blue background as a border.
*In [[First Time Here?]], the clapperboard always says "Roll 1, Scene 1, Take 1".

===Fixed Glitches===
[[Image:Main 16 from 2001.PNG|thumb|[[Main Page 16]]: Looking into the past?]]
* Originally, the "What's new" button on the main pages did not appear in the correct location and was right-side up. This was fixed shortly after the "feature's" release.
* The [[Strong Bad Email]] menu originally did not list any emails. This was also fixed.
* The Weeklies popups originally appeared right-side up, but were later fixed so that they would appear flipped like the rest of the site.
* Many of the rollover button effects on the Main Pages didn't work. In most cases, the speaker simply said the name of the button that is hovered over (without moving his lips) and no visual effects or other sounds would occur. This was later fixed.
* On [[Main Page 22]], the word "games" was not there. This was fixed later in the day.
* After the orientation reset on April 2, [[Main Page 16]] had a copyright date of 2001 overlaying the regular copyright notice. Homestar's scarf was missing, as were some trees in the background, suggesting that certain elements of the main page were from an older version. Homestar would still speak as normal, but no triggered animations would happen other than mouth movements and a visible wisp of Homestar's breath.

===Real-World References===
*The Flash file that causes the pages to be flipped contains the phrase "They call him Flipper", which is one of the lyrics to the [[Wikipedia:Flipper (1964 television)|Flipper]] theme song.

[[Image:sbemail18.PNG|thumb|Lil' Strong Bad needs to invest in a belt]]

Joe P. asks Strong Bad if he has ever done any stand-up comedy.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|Strong Sad}}, {{Film|Coach Z}}, [[Lil' Strong Bad]]

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[Strong Sad's Room]], [[The Stage]]

'''Computer:''' [[Tandy 400]]

'''Date:''' March 18, 2002

'''Running Time:''' 1:26

'''Page Title:''' Tandy 400!!!

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' Something has compelled me to check my email.

<blockquote class="tandy email">dear strong bad,<br />
ur a real, funy guy. have you ever done any <br />
stand up comidic stuff?<br />
<br />
crapfully crappy,<br />
joe p.</blockquote>

''{He pronounces the first sentence as it's spelled: "Err a real fewney guy." He also pronounces "comidic" as spelled and "joe p." as "Jopy".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? No. No. No. I mean, no. Never. No. What? No. ''{leaves computer}''

''{Strong Sad sticks his head in the scene.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Psst. Come with me. ''{leaves computer}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad's room, now with a [[Telebision]]. He walks in, carrying a video tape marked "S.B. Talent Show" and inserts it into his old-fashioned wooden VCR. The video shows a younger-looking Coach Z with a huge afro and mustache on-stage talking into a microphone.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Once again, thank you to little Marzipan and her wonderful clogging. Okay, so up next we got the comedy styling of little  Strong Bad.

''{Coach Z walks off stage as Lil' Strong Bad walks on from the left to general applause. He lowers the microphone.}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Thank you Coach Z, ''{pause}'' for not patting my butt. ''{audience laughs}'' Good evening, ladies and germs. Um... How about this cafeteria food? Is it cardboard or is it pizza? ''{more audience laughs, though less pronounced; Lil' Strong Bad looks uneasy}'' You know, 'cause it...tastes bad. Um... What about that one...that joke... Coach Z's hair is funny looking. Don't you guys think? 'Cause it's big... He has really big hair...

''{Lil' Strong Bad's pants fall down. He looks down at them as the audience laughs.}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Oh no!

''{Lil' Strong Bad starts running offstage, but falls down just as he reaches the edge of the screen. The screen goes blank. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Fun Facts ==

===Trivia===
*This is the first email in which Strong Bad is seen with a shirt on.
*This is the first email showing Strong Bad as a kid.
*This is the first time Strong Bad's legs are shown without pants.

===Remarks===
*[[The VCR]] is made by Totaltronics.
*Lil' Strong Bad doesn't have the highlights in his eyes that the older Strong Bad does.
*When the [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] blurs out, the green lines on its screen stop moving.
*Strong Sad shows us this tape on his own TV/VCR in [[Strong Sad's Room]]. Note the purple walls. [[Strong Bad's Basement]] has red wallpaper. While the TV is identical, Strong Bad's VCR is not nearly so retro.
*[[Marzipan]] is able to clog dance, despite her lack of legs.

===Goofs===
*If you change the contrast to anything but black, it will change back to black when Strong Sad steps in front of the Tandy, and back to whatever color you had when he moves away.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad receives another email signed with the word [[Crapfully Yours|crapfully]].
*Strong Sad's [[Telebision]] is the same as the one used in the [[Old Telebision Toons Menu]].
*This is another mention of [[Pizza]].

===Fast Forward===
*In [[highschool]], Strong Bad's "middle school" flashback shows that he, Coach Z, Strong Sad, The Poopsmith and Pom Pom were all roughly the same age. However, Strong Sad's video in this email shows Coach Z as an adult while Strong Bad was still a little kid. The discrepancy can probably be explained by Strong Bad's "extremely unphotographic" memory.
*Lil' Strong Bad is wearing underwear in this email. In [[New Boots]], Strong Bad says he doesn't wear "underwears."

== 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:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]])

'''MIKE:''' So... here's another email that we made.

'''MATT:''' On our wed— ''{trips over his own tongue}'' wedthighs. It's, uh... I remember thinking how ambitious it was at the time.

'''MIKE:''' It ''is'' ambitious for—

'''MATT:''' Not only do we cut away... Um... Ahhh... Yeah... What?

'''MIKE:''' We've got a rack focus right here. Oooh, blurry monitor.

'''MATT:''' That's the old Strong Bad mouth, though. That's not very good. I remember this, that VCR was pretty complicated—

'''MIKE:''' That's Strong Sad.

'''MATT:''' S—what'd I say?

'''MIKE:''' Strong ''Bad''. Strong Bad's the one with the ''red'' face.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' The tracking is amazing. Mike did that tracking and that little rainbow effect.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, we used that a lot of times.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, 'cause it's so good. Nobody ever-

'''MIKE:''' Hold up!

'''MATT:''' —Why are people not as concerned with Coach Z with the fro and moustache?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, no one cared.

'''MATT:''' I think it's great! And little  Strong Bad, he's wearing a—that's not a tuxedo, Mike, it's one of those tuxedo T-shirts.

'''MIKE:''' Like...the kind that Mark Cohen used to have.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. And if you, uh, look, he's wearing—he's got elastic waistband pants, khaki pants.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Garanimals.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' Garanimals. Yep, that's the stage from our elementary school, from [http://www.dekalb.k12.ga.us/~vanderlyn/ Vanderlyn Elementary School], which we later make even more obvious in a Christmas cartoon.

'''MIKE:''' Yes.

'''MATT:''' Oooh! So this is also the only other time we reveal that Strong Bad actually has, like, legs, like flesh— flesh legs.

'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah.

[[Image:Ye flask.PNG|thumb|300px|Ye Flask in Thy Dungeon.]]
'''Ye Flask''' is a [[Wikipedia:Florence flask|Florence flask]] (or round-bottomed flask) that appears as a very important item in each [[Thy Dungeonman]] game and is referenced in nearly every text adventure in the Homestar Runner world.

== Ye Flask's history ==
<div class="thumb tleft"><div style="width: 200px">
<div style="font: 7px monospace; color: #0C0; background: #000; text-align:left">
>Y''e'' find y''e''s''e''lf in you dung''e''on. Y''e'' s''ee'' a FLASK.<br>

Graphics shmaphics... for sooth!
</div>
<div class="thumbcaption">Graphics schmaphics... for sooth!</div>
</div></div>
Ye Flask is introduced in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[video games]], an email where Strong Bad is explaining what he would be like in several different types of video games, one of which is a text adventure. Ye flask is mentioned as an example of the quirks of the text adventure genre – attempts to get ye flask resulted only in the message "You can't get ye flask", even though ye flask is explicitly mentioned as part of the surroundings by the game, leaving the player wondering why on earth they can't get Ye Flask.

Ye Flask later becomes part of the Thy Dungeonman games. Ye flask is something of an obsessive fixation for Thy Dungeonman, as he has been searching for it his entire thy dungeonlife through years of searching and hundreds of dungeons.
<div style="clear: left"></div>
===Thy Dungeonman I===
<div class="thumb tright"><div style="width: 200px">
<div style="font: 7px monospace; color: #0C0; background: #000; text-align:left">
THY DUNGEONMAN<br><br>
YOU ARE THY DUNGEONMAN!<br><br>
Ye find yeself in yon dungeon. Ye see a<br>
SCROLL. Behind ye SCROLL is a FLASK.<br>
Obvious exits are NORTH, SOUTH, and DENNIS.<br><br><br>
What wouldst thou deau?<br>
>
</div>
<div class="thumbcaption">You can't get ye flask</div>
</div></div>
Thy Dungeonman first meets Ye Flask in the first [[Thy Dungeonman]] game. In it, Ye Flask looks as if it can "quaff some serious mead". Just like in video games, ye flask is (at least at first) impossible to obtain. However, there is at least an explanation for ''why'' the player can't get ye flask, so the player isn't left wondering why on earth he can't get ye flask; ye flask is firmly bolted onto to a wall (which is bolted to the rest of the dungeon which is probably bolted to a castle). However, upon trying the third time to get Ye Flask Thy Dungeonman is able to unbolt, which results in the collapse of the dungeon because it was a "Load-bearing flask". Oddly enough, Ye Flask in this game is never actually refered to as "Ye Flask". However, it is called "a FLASK", "the FLASK", "yon FLASK", and "a load-bearing FLASK"
<div style="clear: left"></div>
===Thy Dungeonman II===
<div class="thumb tleft"><div style="width: 200px">
<div style="font: 7px monospace; color: #0C0; background: #000; text-align:left">
You pluck up the flask and examine of it. HEY<br>
WAIT! Give us that back!<br><br><br>
What wouldst thou deau?<br>
>
</div>
<div class="thumbcaption">HEY WAIT! Give us that back!</div>
</div></div>
Ye Flask plays a very minor role in [[Thy Dungeonman II]]. Every time the command "GET YE FLASK" is used, you earn several points, whether or not you've already gotten ye Flask. However, the first time you get ye flask you must be in the Magistate's office.
<div style="clear: left"></div>
===Thy Dungeonman 3===
[[Image:Flask.png|thumb|You unbolt Ye Flask and hold it aloft.]]
In [[Thy Dungeonman 3]], the entire game is based around trying to get Ye Flask, which resides in a mysterious dungeon. It is impossible to grab Ye Flask without a proper Flask-grabbing glove, because otherwise Thy Dungeonman is simply transported back to the crossroads in the beginning of the game.

Upon getting Ye Flask and winning the game, it becomes Thy Dungeonman's favorite companion and drinking flask. He ends up choosing it over maidens several times, and lives a fulfilling life with his Ye Flask friend by his side.
<div style="clear: left"></div>
===Other References===
[[Image:emailbirds.PNG|thumb|left|"I hope I find some scrolls. Or maybe a flask."]]
In the bonus sbemail for [[strongbad email.exe]], [[E-mail Birds]], Strong Bad begins playing a text adventure game similar to the Thy Dungeonman games called Text Quest after answering three emails in a row. Before playing, Strong Bad says "I hope I find some scrolls. Or maybe a flask". Also, although the game makes specific mention of not one, but two daggers, when Strong Bad types "get dagger" the game asks "What is 'dagger'?", a forerunner to the original ye flask joke in video games.
<div style="clear: left"></div>
== Trivia ==
*In modern day english, "ye flask" would actually mean "you flask" instead of the use of the word "ye" as "the".

==Transcript==

''{Open to a shiny red background. A King of Town emblem appears on the screen. As the singers sing, the words "Very Own Popular Cartoon" appear below the KOT head. The KOT head moves to the music a little.}''

'''SINGERS:''' The King of Town's very own quite popular cartoon show!

''{The words "The King of Town's" appear above the KOT emblem.}''

'''SINGERS:''' The King of Town's very own quite popular cartoon show!

''{The word "Quite" is written between "Own" and "Popular", and "Show!!" is inserted after "Cartoon". The music stops.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Let the King have some!

'''TV ANNOUNCER:''' ''{quick voiceover as the screen darkens}'' The King of Town's Very Own Popular Cartoon Show will not be seen this week. Instead we bring you: Strong Bad's very popular cartoon show, already in progress.

''{Cut to the Lappy with the email already displayed. We join the scene as Strong Bad says "rong Bad..."}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: prom</div>
Dear Strong Bad, <br />
I was wondering did you ever have a senior prom.<br />
If so, what was it like?<br />
Matt M. WA
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "walrus association" for WA.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man! Would you Walrus Association people please leave me alone? I will pay my dues when you send me my tusks! ''{clears screen}'' Anyways, I have personally never had a senior prom, Matt. I have, however, ''crashed'' my fair share of Senior Proms, Senor Proms, Homecoming Dances, Shortcoming Prances, and Off-Site Team-Building Pottery Classes. But the best Senior Prom I ever crashed was the 'Entrapment All Up On the Moon' Dance. It all started one day, when I received some very disappointing news...

''{Cuts to the Floppy Disk Container side of the computer desk with Strong Mad and The Cheat. A cassette tape sits on top of a [[Clock Radio|clock radio]]. The message 'an answering machine (trust me)' is taped to the clock radio, keeping the hour number open as if it was the message counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' Oh man you guys... I'm totally bummed. Listen to this message I just gooot.

''{Cut to a closeup of the clock radio. Strong Bad is partially visible on the left, holding one of his boxing gloves up to his mouth and looking away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a high-pitched voice}'' Hey.. Bunmuffin... It's Deli..lelia. They need me to go back up to Mars to help out that robot that got stuck in the sand. So I won't be able to go to the dance with you.

''{Cut back to the group shot. Strong Mad and The Cheat look annoyed, and The Cheat's arms are folded.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still in fake voice}'' I left you some cold meatloaf under the fridge. ''{voice returns to normal, but he continues to feign disappointment}'' Ooh..

''{Cut to close-up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' That little robot stuck in the sand ''again!'' I guess I don't have a date for the dance.

''{Cut back to group shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{speaking normally}'' Oh well... Looks like you two losers ''{Strong Mad looks shocked and then angry}'' and me one cool guy will just have to crash the everlovin' style out of it! Now listen close to my master-dly plan!

''{Fade to black, then cut to and zoom in on [[All the King's Men|All the King's Men]]'s bass drum, then fade to the band on stage. Cut to a banner reading "Entrapment All Up On the Moon", then pan down to Homestar and Marzipan dancing on the gym floor. Homestar is wearing a tuxedo and a black propeller cap, and Marzipan is wearing a red formal dress.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... Don't look now Marzipan, but I think we're the hottest couple at the prom.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, as always, we're the only couple at the prom.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But what about Strong Sad and Deborah?

'''MARZIPAN:''' That is unmistakably Coach Z.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Who?

''{Cut to the drink table where Coach Z is pouring Listerine into the punch. Coach Z is wearing a [[Wikipedia:Dickie|dickie]] and bow tie and Strong Sad is wearing a space suit.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z... You oughta be ashamed of yourself.

''{Coach Z fumbles and drops the Listerine.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' You're supposed to be our chaperon! ''{says with a French accent while waving his hand}''

'''COACH Z:''' Are you kiddin'!? I'm just lookin' out for all yer hygienes. Have ya ever talked to one of these kids up close!? Their breath is TERBERILE!

''{Someone turns off the light, plunging the scene into pitch darkness. There is a thud sound and a record scratch. Everyone at the prom gasps.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey! Watch those hands David Coppafeel!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, David!

''{The lights turn back on, revealing Strong Bad, The Cheat and Strong Mad in the center separating Homestar Runner and Marzipan. Homestar continues to dance while Strong Bad speaks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right, senior citizens! This prom is officially crashed! Now peep my masterdly plan! I rigged up this button—

''{Cuts to a close up of Strong Bad's hand, which is holding a remote control with a big red button labeled "GO!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —so that when I mash go on it, everybody's pants will POOF AWAY! It's a mass pantsing, see?

''{He presses the button and a buzzer sounds.}''

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

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

''{With dramatic music, the scene quickly cuts to the pants area of Marzipan, then Coach Z, and then really quickly Homestar Runner, Strong Sad, The Poopsmith, The Blacksmith, The Knight, Strong Mad, The Cheat, before finally stopping on Strong Bad. The camera scrolls up from Strong Bad's pants to his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You gotta be kiddin' me!? I'm the only one that wears any pants?

''{Strong Bad's pants poof away, showing white boxers with lipstick kisses on them.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And now to announce your Prom King and Queen! This year's Prom King is... Pom Pom ''{applause}''

''{Cut to an area of the gymnasium that features the banner and cut-out forms of Nebulon and The Moon.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ''{spoken words appear onscreen}'' Accepting the award for Pom Pom is Homestar Runner because Pom Pom's at a much cooler private school prom.

''{Homestar walks out wearing a crown and then takes a swig of Listerine and starts gargling, sounding exactly like Pom Pom.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And your Prom Queen is... ''{cut to an excited Marzipan}'' Strong Bad with no pants on! ''{applause}''

''{Cut back to Homestar. Pant-less Strong Bad walks in from the left wearing a tiara and holding seven roses.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh thank you so much! ''{applause}'' You people are a sweet delight! Just one big almond paste filled sweet delight!

''{Homestar leans forward, kicking his foot backwards. Cut back to an angry Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Every freakin' year. ''{blows one of her bangs out of her face}''

'''VOICE FROM OFFSCREEN:''' Ohhhh, yeah!

''{Marzipan looks surprised, it then cuts to the rest of the gym, who all gasp. Then it cuts to The Poopsmith who shakes his head and shrugs his shoulders. Cut back to Strong Bad at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And the best part is that I got a twenty dollar gift certificate to the All-You-Can-Eat Old Folks' Cafeteria. Man, I ate my weight in creamed fish and okratinis. Alright, I gotta get outta here. I'm taking Delilelia to see David Coppafeel perform. ''{gets up and leaves}''

''{Cut to a shot of the whole computer desk with Strong Bad standing to the side.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hurk! ''{jumps offscreen}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

==Fun Facts==

{{checkstuffpage}}

===Explanations===

*In the [[Wikipedia:United States|United States]], a senior [[Wikipedia:Prom|prom]] is a formal dance held at the end of the final year of high school (around the time of year that this email was produced). Musical entertainment, refreshments, and adult [[Wikipedia:Chaperon|chaperons]] are often present at these events.

===Trivia===

*The filename for the SWF file is the expected "sbemail151", but the HTML file is "kotpoptoon".
**The email was announced on the main page as a new toon as a prank; when it was released the message button read "king of town toon!"
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#broder bund classics|broderbund classics]]".
*This is the first time The Blacksmith has appeared in any Homestar Runner cartoon since his debut in [[The King of Town DVD]].
*This is the first appearance of the Strong Sadstronaut, previously seen only in the weekly [[Sketchbook]].

===Remarks===

*Strong Bad is wearing boxer shorts when his pants poof off. However, in [[New Boots]], he claims he doesn't wear "[[Underwear|underwears]]."
*Since an okratini is a drink, Strong Bad could not have ''eaten'' his weight in them, unless he consumed the okra pods.
*When Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat arrive at the prom, Homestar doesn't stop dancing, even though he and Marzipan have been separated.
*When Strong Bad addresses the audience and compares them to an almond-paste-filled sweet delight, he is describing the real confection of [[Wikipedia:Marzipan|marzipan]]. The comment is clearly directed at the character Marzipan.
*Although it was stated in [[highschool]] that all the characters looked different in high school, all the characters appear as they would normally. This may be due to Strong Bad's "doodle memory", though it may also be, considering their ages are neither implied nor stated, that they are still "in" high school.
* "The King of Town's Popular Cartoon Show" is another case of the King of Town trying to appear cool and popular.

===Goofs===
*When Homestar keeps his eyes shut while standing next to de-pantsed Strong Bad, his regular pair of blinking eyes appears every few seconds beneath his already closed lids.
*As Homestar dances, his left foot continually changes shading, from a darker gray to a lighter gray.

===Inside References===

*The lipstick pattern on Strong Bad's shorts is the same as the one in [[video games]].
*"Senor proms" is a reference to the common [[Senor|mispronunciation]] of Señor, and is further highlighted by the Senor Cardgage Easter egg.
*Coach Z was previously seen drinking Listerine in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]].
**In this email, he makes a [[Concoctions|concoction]] by spiking the punch with Listerine.
*The Moon on the banner first appeared in [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]].
*The fictitious message from Delilelia would seem to explain why the formerly unnamed girl left Strong Bad, as mentioned in his [[autobiography]].
*This email makes some references to [[Robots|robots]].
*This email makes references both [[Homestar's Pants]] and [[Pants|pants]] in general.
*This is another instance of [[Mashing Go|Mashing Go/Play]].
*The name of the dance is "Entrapment [[All up ons|All Up On]] the Moon".
*While it isn't certain that "Ohhh Yeah" was spoken by The Poopsmith, the same voice was used in [[different town]] to demonstrate what he would sound like.

===Real-World References===

*[[Wikipedia:David Copperfield (illusionist)|David Copperfield]] is a popular illusionist.
*The "Entrapment All Up On the Moon" dance and the outfits worn by the band are references to the "Enchantment Under the Sea Dance" from the [[Wikipedia:Back to the Future|Back to the Future]] movie trilogy.
*The phrase "Koo koo ka-choo" on the business card in the Easter egg refers to the song [[Wikipedia:I Am the Walrus|I Am the Walrus]] by [[Wikipedia:The Beatles|The Beatles]]. This is a common [[Wikipedia:mondegreen|mondegreen]]. The actual phrase from the song is "Goo Goo Ga Joob".
*An "[http://listserv.linguistlist.org/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0308c&L=ads-l&D=1&F=&S=&P=6102 okratini]" is a martini served with a pickled [[Wikipedia:Okra|okra]] pod instead of an olive.
*[[Wikipedia:Listerine|Listerine]] is an antiseptic mouthwash that contains alcohol.
*The "robot on Mars that got stuck in the sand again" is a reference to the Mars Rover [http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/spotlight/20051212.html Opportunity], which got stuck in a sand ripple on April 26, 2005.
*Strong Bad's remark, "It's a mass pantsing, see?" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Edward G. Robinson|Edward G. Robinson]] in the movie [[Wikipedia:Little Caesar|Little Caesar]]. Robinson's character, Rico, often ended his sentences in this way.
*''[[All the King's Men!]]'' is most likely a reference to the fairy tale [[Wikipedia:Humpty Dumpty|Humpty Dumpty]]. It is also the name of a novel loosely based on the life of [[Wikipedia:Huey Long|Huey Long]].

== Where is the DVD commentary? ==
Why doesn't this article have the DVD commentary in it? I like reading those, since I can't buy the DVD myself. (Snif.) [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 12:29, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

I wish too [[User:Choco|Choco]] 02:43, 9 Oct 2005 (UTC)

===Forgotten Lie (DECLINED)===
Strong bad says in the King of Town DVD that the King does not live in a castle. However, in this email he seems to have forgotten all about it.
*'''Decline.''' Strong Bad does things like this frequently, and it's not the first time he's lied about something, i.e. The Cheat not having a computer in [[huttah!]] -Walking Armless
*'''Rewrite and accept.''' The idea's there, but it's a little wordy. Cut it down maybe to something like "Strong Bad said in the DVD that he didn't have a castle, but aspparently he does here."[[User:TakuaKaita600|TakuaKaita600]] 20:06, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' Not only does Strong Bad have a penchant for lying, but this isn't even the first time after the KoT DVD that we've seen or heard about the KoT's castle. Check 3 Times Halloween Funjob or 'Tis True, Pom Pom, 'Tis True (the latter was unreleased until recently but was clearly started long before this email), as well as a few other 'toons. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 06:07, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Fast Forward ==

Current revision: [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=the_bet&diff=0&oldid=153451 Fast Forward - how do we know that's true]?

Removed:

* In the email [[geddup noise]], The Show's announcer calls Homestar "[[Kevin]]", referring to the wager he made here with Strong Bad.

How? cuz someone said so! :) ;)

In geddup noise/[[geddup_noise#Inside_References |Inside References]], someone wrote:

* The Show's announcer calls Homestar "Kevin", short for "Kevin DuBrow", the name he would have been known by had he lost Strong Bad's wager in the bet.

A correction could be:

* In the email geddup noise, The Show's announcer calls Homestar "Kevin", which is the same name Homestar would have had to change his name to if he had lost the wager he made here with Strong Bad.

Though it sounds redundant. So if this is the demise of that inside reference. So be it!

Like i said I put it there cuz someone said so... :0

== Press Your Luck? ==

New RLR added comparing intro to Press Your Luck. Seems more likely it'd be Wheel Of Fortune, given TBC's ages. Thoughts? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:14, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
:Though I think that Press Your Luck is the kinda thing TBC would reference, I immediately thought of Wheel when I heard that, and I'm sure about 99% percent of everyone else did, too. Wheel is a lot more well known then Press Your Luck, and if TBC are going to make a reference, they usually make it obvious as to what they were referencing. I'ma go change it now, and if anyone objects, please say so here. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 22:51, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Mathgrant: Back of Homestar's head

== Transcript needs work ==
This transcript needs some work...

I think it's oogly. -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 11:28, 6 Aug 2004 (MST)
:I agree. Very oogly. --[[User:flatluigi|flatluigi]] 11:42, 5 Dec 2004 (MST)

== Coach Z's Dream ==

Coach Z's dream is uncannily similar to the cut scene in '''''Zelda: Majora's Mask''''' when you skip time ahead by playing ''the song of double time.'' This is characterized by the spinning background and the objects flying towards the camera. However the most striking similarity is that a rooster crows and the next scene fades in. Again- the spinning background, flying objects, and rooster are very, very, similar. And also, because Majoras Mask was released on Oct. 1, 2000 (5 months before the release of this toon) It is certainly worth noting in the "real world references" section of this toon's page. --Douglas_fir

:I dunno, the spinning background with floating things to represent a dream is a cliché, as is a rooster crowing in the morning—but having not played the game I won't comment on how similar they are. {{User:phlip/sig}} 05:19, 24 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Tom Servo ==

The silhouette next to Coach Z in the movie theatre seems more like a silhouette of a key than the Tom Servo robot, the key being most likely to Coach Z's straps. --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 23:11, 6 Feb 2004 (MST)

:Really? I'm thinking it's exactly [[Wikipedia:Tom Servo|Tom Servo]]. Here's a [http://images.google.com/images?q=tom%20servo Google image search] that might help.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:29, 6 Feb 2005 (MST)

:I agree that it is Tom Servo and think this should be accepted -- Douglas_Fir

:As surely as the world is round, this is Tom Servo depicted in all his silhouetted glory. --[[User:Thesmokingmonkey|The Smoking Monkey]] 12:48, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Humphel? I took a Google search. The only usages of this word is on the wiki. I seriously think someone made it up. And it sounds more like "humple" or "humble". Are you sure it's humphel? --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 10:38, April 16, 2005 (MST)

:[http://www.dictionary.com Dictionary.com] has no results either. Hmm. →''<small><tt>[[User:FireBird|<font color=green>FireBird</font>]]</tt></small>''

===Strong Sad's Tape (ACCEPTED)===

*'''Accept.''' --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 10:57, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept.''' Why was this STUFF'd? It's demonstrably true, and it's something most people wouldn't notice just by watching the 'toon. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:40, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''2nd''' place. Ding! --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 22:37, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Answer''' Unless I'm missing something, it wasn't actually deleted from the 'toon in question - apparently, VC added it directly here. Which is technically how STUFF is SUPPOSED to work, but nobody uses it that way. ;) Anyway, this one is true enough that it could have been directly added and no one would have batted an eye, so '''Accept'''. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 05:35, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Possible piece of trivia - do we have Strong Mad laughing ANYWHERE else on H*R?

His Doug the Dino growls don't count... - [[User:blackbelt|blackbelt]] 00:18, 8 June 2005

I'm pretty sure he laughs at the "show" in [[extra plug]]. It's a very different laugh, but Strong Mad's voice has drastically changed since this 'toon. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:33, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:[[Halloween Fairstival]]. And also, women can't drive! <small><tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|<span style="color:#8B0000;">Aurora the Homestar Coder</span>]]</tt></small> 05:52, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Strong Mad also laughs in [[A Mother's Day Message]] and [[helium]]. It's changed from a quiet "huh huh huh" to a loud "DAA HAA HAA HAA!" [[User:Poopsmith Z|Poopsmith Z]]

==Goofs?==
The last goof says that Coach Z is looking at the screen instead of the chalkboard in the "chalkboard scene." After reviewing it, I realized something - since Z's noggin is a silhouette, his head could be construed as looking either way. The same optical illusion occurs in MST3K - if you look a Crow T. Robot's head while in silhouette, it might seem as if he's watching the viewer instead of the movie.

So, my point in all of this is that it's not a 'goof' but an optical illusion. Any takers? [[User:Thesmokingmonkey|The Smoking Monkey]] 13:15, 23 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Nope, it's a goof. Here's how to tell: Take a screenshot of the scene in question and open it in an image editor, like Photoshop. If you don't ''have'' Photoshop, go get it; it's good. Next, turn the brightness way up, and what do you see? Coach Z's eyes! He's definitely looking at the camera. Those sly Chaps! They thought we wouldn't notice. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 13:42, 23 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::Wow - I'll take your word for it. That's really funny that they would do that... [[User:Thesmokingmonkey|The Smoking Monkey]] 16:04, 23 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:::They were probably just lazy and figured nobody would check. Remember, this toon was made a long time ago. As for the image, don't take my word for it... check out the [[A_Jorb_Well_Done#Goofs|goofs section]] of the article. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:08, 23 Jul 2005 (UTC)

::::I just saw it - awesome! [[User:Thesmokingmonkey|The Smoking Monkey]] 16:09, 23 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:::The reason for this is that TBC didn't want to silouette Coach Z (Maybe because it was to hard for them), so they just darkened his face. [[User:DaChazman|DaChazman]]

::::Well, if they had darkened it to black, or removed the eyes, we'd never have been able to tell the difference. In later toons they darken the characters completely to black. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:09, 9 Oct 2005 (UTC)

==Oh man==

*''Homestar saying, "Oh man, Pom Pom." is a reference to [[The Luau]] when Homestar says the same thing when he arrives at Strong Bad's party.''

Are we sure about that? Personally, I think it's "a stretch", but that's one of those debatable arguments, so... what do other people think? -[[User:Polly|Polly]] 10:38, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I don't think it's a reference so much as it's representative of how Homestar and Pom Pom converse. Or, more accurately, how Homestar talks to Pom Pom. As time has passed and the status of their friendship seems ever more distant (and Homestar has become ever more randomly idiotic), Homestar doesn't really have cause to say "Oh man, Pom Pom" anymore...it's a catch phrase that didn't catch on and gracefully expired. Or am I wrong, and there's a third (or fourth) instance of Homestar saying this? Either way, it's a trait and not a reference. [[User:Thesmokingmonkey|The Smoking Monkey]] 12:45, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Regarding Stux's question about the anony removal of this fact (which happened today), I concur: It's not so much a stretch, as just something that isn't really all that noteworthy to begin with. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 00:09, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

== Ramrod?? ==

A ramrod is a tool used to clean out a rifle barrel. Where would this go?

''{Cut to a wide view of the desk. Strong Sad is standing to the right of Strong Bad with an acoustic guitar. Strong Bad turns to face him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, man.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No prob, Bob.

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

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: alternate univer$e</div>
Dear Strong Bad, <br />
Got some ?'s for you: <br />
1. What would you do with a hundred million dollars? <br />
2. What would you do if you suddenly found yourself in an alternate universe somehow? <br />
Jody (not a girl), TX
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "question marks" for "?'s", and "Texas" for "TX".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{says everything inside parentheses normally}'' Ya know, you could probably ditch that (not a girl) thing, if you just replaced it with something tough and cool and kool and tuff. Like (Bulldozer). Jody (Bulldozer). Nobody's gonna think that guy's a girl. ''{clears the screen}'' Well Ms. Dozer, you pretty much answered question mark #1 with question mark #2. Cuz a hundred million dollars is exactly how much The Cheat spent on our alternate universe portal.

''{Cut to a wide view of the desk. The Cheat is standing to the right of the Lappy with a blender. A Nintendo Game Boy is in the blender.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Isn't that right, The Cheat?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? This thing only cost us fourteen bucks?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Agreement noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well... that's like a hundred million dollars in... dog years, right?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Single "squeak"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leans towards The Cheat suddenly}'' All right! Mash go on that blender!

''{Camera zooms out a little as The Cheat presses a button on the blender, which causes it to activate. The blender shoots out white bolts as the the lighting in the room flashes. Soon after, the blender stops (Game Boy intact), and there is a large swirl to the right of the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh-ho-ho! Swirly Photoshopped magic! I bet this thing could release some serious Cacodemons. So... ''{The Cheat turns to face Strong Bad}'' what? I -- I just jump in?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leaning backwards}'' Obi-kabi! ''{Strong Bad jumps off the stool and towards the swirl}'' Jump!

''{As soon as Strong Bad touches the swirl, everything turns black and white with the exception of the swirl and Strong Bad, who distorts horizontally and vertically. He "springs" into the swirl. Cut to a panel of a comic strip. There is a picture of some buildings. At the top of the panel is a caption saying "IN A BULDING..."}''

'''NARRATOR:''' In a bulding-

''{Comic shifts left, next panel is an empty room. Strong Bad appears, with "VOIP!" appearing next to him briefly. Everything Strong Bad says while in the comic appears next to him in a speech bubble.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Where am I?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in an action pose on a yellow background. Everything he says is not lip-synced and also appears in a speech bubble.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' STINY! ''{"Stiny!" is in large red text}'' We have a visitor from an alternate universe!

''{Next panel. Strong Bad is in the same room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking to the right}'' It's Strong Badman! And his well drawn abs! ''{looks to the left}'' But... why are we in a crappy apartment instead of a secret underground lair... ''{looks back to the right}'' ...filled with secret underground gadgets?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman's upper body and head is in front of a blue background.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' Because mere mortal... this apartment...

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in front of a red background with his arms in the air.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{speech bubble is large, yellow and pointy}'' ...is rent controlled! ''{next speech bubbles are regular}'' And... water's included.

''{Next panel. There is a kitchen sink and a bathroom sink visible. The bathroom tap has a "FROSH!" next to it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{not visible}'' Is that why all your faucets are running?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is standing in a room.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{each syllable appears individually in red text and is not in a speech bubble}'' Mu-hu-ha-ha-hah! ''{regular speech bubble and text}'' Those dimwits down at the public works won't know what hit them!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{walking in from left}'' So, that's your evil plan? To waste water?

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' And not pay for it!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I gotta tell ya, Strong Badman... this part of your comic is pretty boring. I'm gonna see what's going on further down the page. ''{Strong Bad jumps out of the current panel and falls down three panels. There is a woman with a Big Knife sitting on a giant robotic snake.}'' Oh! Now we're talkin'!

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in the left of the panel, Strong Bad in the center, and there is a TV with the previous panel on it (minus Strong Bad) to the right.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' You're not kidding!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wha?

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' Now we have expanded basic cable...

''{Next panel. Close-up of the wall. There is a hole in it, and there is a cable running through the hole.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{not visible}'' Stolen from my neighbor!
''{Next panel. Strong Bad is in front of a yellow background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Who's writing this issue? The geniuses behind She-Hulk? ''{looks up}'' The Cheat? ''{Cut back to the Computer Room. Strong Bad's voice is slightly distorted. A speech bubble is coming out of the swirl.}'' A little frappe action, if you please.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Single "squeak"}''

''{The Cheat Turns around and pushes a button on the blender, which activates it. Cut back to the previous comic panel. Strong Bad disappears with the same "VOIP!" from when he appeared.}''

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in the same pose as when he first appeared.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' STINY! {"Stiny!" is in large red text} Keep flushing those toilets!

''{Cut to an Old-Timey scene. Old-Timey Strong Bad is standing on a stage with curtains behind him. To the left of him there is a sign saying "STRONG BAD and his GOODE-TIME PARLOR TRICKS". There is a silhouetted audience visible.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes, and for my next parlor trick, I shan't make anything ''{faces left}'' appear!

''{Strong Bad appears to the left of Old-Timey Strong Bad. He is still in color.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. H-hi.

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' ''{crowd starts booing}'' You brightly colored baboon! You ruined my vaudeville!

''{The Homestar Runner's dance music plays as tomatoes are thrown at the two Strong Bads.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah! Shades of grey tomatoes! ''{Strong Bad disappears as Old-Timey Strong Bad looks to the left.}''

''{Cut to Vector Strong Bad floating above a vector drawn field. Strong Bad appears to the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is up, my enormous vector brother?

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{As he speaks, his words come out of his mouth in red vector-style text. They disappear after a short while.}'' HELLOTE.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, uh... ''{cut to close-up of Strong Bad's head}'' what do you do for fun around here? ''{cut back to previous view}''

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' I SPLO STUFF UP. ''{Strong Bad jumps backwards slightly to avoid the "up", which promptly explodes with vector graphics.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, that's pretty cool.

''{Stinkoman walks in from the left.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Hey, guys! How's challenges?

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' WHAT IT IS MY DOGE?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, you two know each other?

''{Cut to close-up of Stinkoman's head}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Oh, totally sure! ''{leans forward and waves one of his arms}'' He's my training simulator! ''{Cut back to previous view.}'' Check it out!

''{Vector Strong Bad starts moving left and right, shooting squares from his mouth, which Stinkoman jumps around to dodge. Strong Bad follows suit shortly after. After a few seconds, they all stop.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Nice work, big nose!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Big nose?

'''STINKOMAN:''' Your nose!

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' LEVEL 2

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-oh.

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Uh-oh.

''{Stinkoman silenty laughs as Vector Strong Bad shoots a series of squares directly at Strong Bad. As they explode, Strong Bad disappears. Vector Strong Bad then shoots some squares at Stinkoman, which he dodges.}''

''{Cut to a field in the style of [[flashback]]. Tiny Handed Strong Bad is standing close to the camera. Strong Bad appears to the right. All text appears in a white rectangle near the bottom of the screen.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' And so, ''{Strong Bad starts looking around}'' both Strong Bads entered the 'Dig To China With Your Ears Contest.'

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is just about... the second or third to worst contest I ever heard of.

''{Cut to a silhouetted view of the field. Pom Pom, Strong Mad, Coach Z, Bubs and Marzipan are standing to the right of a banner which reads "the contest began!!". Tiny Handed Strong Bad is underneath the banner.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' The contest began!

''{Cut to a close-up of Tiny Handed Strong Bad rubbing his head on the ground near a line marked "start".}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' And tiny-handed Strong Bad rubbed his head on the ground... ''{cut to a wide view; Strong Bad is sitting on a hammock with his [[Dangeresque]] sunglasses on.}'' while our Modern Day Hero maxed and relaxed.

''{Cut to Tiny Handed Strong Bad standing near the camera again, as in the first shot. A hole is visible near the background, and a giant glass of root beer appears in the center.}''

'''TINY HANDED STRONG BAD:''' I struck it rich!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Said T.H.S.B.

''{Cut to a zoomed out view of the previous scene, but with the giant glass of root beer in the center. A bee is seen holding Strong Bad's hammock up.}''

'''TINY HANDED STRONG BAD:''' A giant mug of frosty root beer!

''{Old-Timey Strong Bad appears to the left. Tiny Handed Strong Bad looks at him.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Zounds! A sarsparilla swimming hole! Last one in's a freemason! ''{Old-Timey Strong Bad half runs towards the root beer, and says "Jump!" as he jumps in. Strong Bad disappears. Keyboard Strong Bad appears at the bottom left of the screen and plays a tune and dances.}''

''{Cut to a screen in the style of Puppet Stuff. Puppet Strong Bad is standing in front of the Strong Badia fence. The Tire and Sign are visible. Strong Bad appears to the right. Music starts playing and both Strong Bads dance in sync with each other.}''

''{Strong Bad disappears. Cut to where "Da Huuuuuudge" is kept. Strong Bad appears lying down on top of it. He slowly slides down, then disappears.}''

''{Cut to the abandoned factory from [[highschool]]. Teenage Strong Bad is standing to the right. Strong Bad appears to the left.}''

'''TEENAGE STRONG BAD:''' Striped ''{pronounced as "stripe-ed"}'' pants.

''{Strong Bad disappears. Cut to a swirling nothingness of changing colours.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat! Cool out on the liquify button, man!

''{Cut to a zoomed up view of Homestar standing next to the blender in the Computer Room, which now has a green substance inside it, as well as the Game Boy. On the desk is one and a half avacados, and a jar reading "Total Load". Homestar is pressing the buttons on the blender.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm trying to make me a real fruit smoothie here! ''{Cut to a zoomed out version of the Computer Room. Tiny Handed Strong Bad is standing to the left, with Senor Cardgage, Old-Timey Strong Bad and Da Huuuuuudge to the right.}'' Any of you guys got any bee pollen?

''{As Homestar presses another button, Strong Bad appears next to the swirl, along with Strong Badman appearing to the left of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar! Quit messing with my alternate universe portal!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm trying to replenish some electrolytes, if you don't mind!

''{Homestar presses a button on the blender, which makes him and the swirl disappear. Sterrance appears on the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking around}'' Wow. Just look at all these Strong Bad-related faces. What an all-star cast! What say we all form a super group and record a number one jam! ''{moans are heard from the Strong Bads, although they all remain perfectly still except for Old-Timey Strong Bad}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' I guess...

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' If we must.

''{The screen fades to black, and then cuts to Strong Bad in a recording studio. Some music starts playing, and continues through the rest of the e-mail.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on Teenage Strong Bad's hat to see a creation of Strong Sad's ideas:
:''{Piano music, fade in on Coach Z holding a pear covered with eyeballs while black coffee continually streams down his mouthless face. Cut to closeups of the pear from two angles, its eyes google, then a closeup of Coach Z's head. Fade via black to the medium shot, Homestar appears next to Coach Z.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{subtitled, in a fake backwards-sounding voice}'' Coach Z, if you're not going to eat that eyeball pear... ''{clears his throat, starts talking normally with no subtitles}'' I suggest you give it to someone who will.
:'''COACH Z:''' I don't know what's going on, Homestar, but I'm not at liberty to discuss what I just did in my pants...
*At the end, click on Senor Cardgage's head to see Strong Bad's meeting with him:
:''{Senor Cardgage is sitting in a boat on a lake, holding a stick with fishing line tied to the end, hanging over the side. Strong Bad appears in the boat.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow, a fishing trip with Senor Cardgage! My life is complete.
:'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Alonzo Mourning to you, Myrtlebeth. Say hello to my tacklebox. ''{holds up said tacklebox}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hello there, tacklebox. ''{smiles}'' I'm such a big fan.
:'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Well, if you could just sign right here on the dotty line, the adaption will be complete.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''You're'' gonna adopt me?
:''{Strong Bad disappears}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{echoey voice-over}'' Aw, man...

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
* A [[Wikipedia:Doppelgänger|Doppelgänger]] refers either to a creature from folklore that mimics people's appearances as an omen of death, or to the theory that everyone in the world has someone else that looks exactly like them.
* [[Wikipedia:Sarsaparilla|Sarsparilla]] is a type of plant used to make beverages, and is a common ingredient in [[Wikipedia:Root Beer|root beer]] (Old-Timey Strong Bad mispronounces it, however. He pronounces it "sar-sparilla," when the general pronunciation is "sass-parilla".)
* [[Wikipedia:Rent control|Rent control]] is a policy used in some urban communities where the market price is deemed "too high." Rent controlled dwellings are highly coveted in the communities where they are available, hence Strong Badman's choosing to live in his apartment rather than a secret underground lair.
* Strong Bad's conversion of fourteen dollars into [[Wikipedia:Dog years|dog years]] refers to the often-confused (and inaccurate) folk formula that dogs age seven "years" for every human year.
*[[Wikipedia:Electrolyte|Electrolytes]] are solutions of [[Wikipedia:Ion|ions]] (such as sodium and potassium salts) and are often drunk to ease [[Wikipedia:Dehydration|dehydration]].

===Trivia===
*This email is the longest email to date, almost a minute longer than [[flashback]], currently the next longest.
*When Strong Bad jumps from one panel to another in the Strong Badman comic, he passes a panel with an explosion, saying "TADAOW!", and a panel with Deutschman (from [[haircut]]), holding a chain of sausages, saying "KINDER UBERRASCHUNG!!", which is the German name for [[Wikipedia:Kinder Surprise|Kinder Surprise]] (though Uberraschung should be spelled Überraschung).
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#weird dreams|weird dreams]]".

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad has no visible nose or ears so the fact they are mentioned is notable.
*Senor Cardgage is the only Strong Bad's alter ego who had before been seen talking with him, as seen in [[kind of cool]] and [[Senorial Day]].
*This is a rare occassion of Strong Bad being nice to Strong Sad.
*This is the first time we have heard Da Huuuuuuudge speak.
*In [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], Strong Sad is seen writing with his right hand. However, in this email, Strong Sad is playing the guitar [[Left Handedness|left-handed]].
*This is the first time Stinkoman smiles.

===Goofs===
*During the comic scene, when the panel changes from "Because, mere mortal" to "Is rent controlled!", the panels underneath get changed.
*At the end, when the paper comes down, you can see that Strong Bad's pants have changed from black to dark navy, but not the pant legs. (As opposed to the Sweet Cuppin' Cakes Strong Bad standing next to him.)
*During the recording session at the end, the wall's grey spot pattern is made from a single image of dots copied and pasted multiple times. This results in some half dots appearing between the copied images.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When the email was released, "girl" was misspelled as "gir" in Jody's email. This was fixed shortly thereafter.

===Inside References===
*Strong Sad was previously seen playing an acoustic guitar in a recent [[Sketchbook#SK-2006-03-02|Sketchbook]], although that guitar was a twelve-string. Here he plays a six-string.
*Putting a [[Wikipedia:Game Boy line|Game Boy]] in a [[Blender|blender]] to access an alternate reality was discovered by Homestar in [[2 emails]], when he made a time machine in this way.
*Strong Bad also confused the value of money and lengths of time in [[space program]].
*Strong Bad's "Mash go on that blender" is based on similar lines from [[flashback]], ("The Cheat mashed play on an extremely expensive [[Jam Box|jambox]]"), [[strongbad_email.exe]] ("make your selection and mash go, moron!"), and [[Everybody Knows It]] ("Mash play on that jambox").
*The "In a bulding"  line, including its accent and pronounciation, is straight from the [[Sketchbook (video)|DVD Sketchbook]] (though it was spelled correctly there).
*The music in the Strong Badman comic is from [[action figure]].
*Strong Bad visits many previous emails in his travels:
**Strong Badman and Stiny originated in [[superhero name]].
**Vector Strong Bad is from [[video games]].
**Stinkoman originated in [[japanese cartoon]].
**Tiny-handed Strong Bad is from [[flashback]].
**Keyboard Strong Bad originated in [[crazy cartoon]].
**Da Huuuuuudge and Sterrance are both from [[animal]].
**Teenage Strong Bad and the term "striped pants" are from [[highschool]].
**Senor Cardgage originated in [[kind of cool]].
*Strong Bad mentioned real fruit smoothies earlier in [[mascot]].
*The Easter egg with coffee-drenched Coach Z and the eyeball pear begins exactly as described and storyboarded by Strong Sad in [[Sbemail 150?!?]].
*The fishing boat, lake and background sounds are all from [[lures & jigs]].
*Coach Z presumably "puked his pants", as mentioned in [[secret recipes]].
*"I hope it's from a girl" is a possible reference to [[dragon]].
* "Doge" is a reference to [[Biz Cas Fri 1]], where Homestar mispells "Dawg".
*The word ''sesquicentenn-email'', which would mean "150th email", was coined by Strong Sad in [[Sbemail 150?!?]].
*The word "VOIP" is a reference to the [[Visor Robot]]'s sound effect from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].
*"Super Group" is a reference to [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]].

=== Real-World References ===
* [[Wikipedia:Cacodemons|Cacodemons]] are evil spirits or demons, the opposite being an angel or "agathodemon". However, the name cacodemon is more well known as an enemy from the computer games ''[[Wikipedia:Doom|Doom]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Doom II|Doom II]]''. The plot for these games involved demons coming out of portals to hell.
* [[Wikipedia:Adobe Photoshop|Photoshop]] is a widely used image editor from Adobe Systems Incorporated. The term "photoshopped" has come to mean any digital edit done to an image, even if it wasn't done in Photoshop itself. The term is often used pejoratively, to say that something is rather obviously edited.
* "Oba Kaybe" is a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Bill Cosby: Himself|Bill Cosby: Himself]]'', a stand-up comedy movie from 1983 starring, naturally, [[Wikipedia:Bill Cosby|Bill Cosby]]. This is how the ''Cosby Kids'' character "Mushmouth" would pronounce the word "okay".
* [[Wikipedia:She-Hulk|She-Hulk]] is a comic book heroine from [[Wikipedia:Marvel Comics|Marvel Comics]] and the cousin of [[Wikipedia:Hulk (comics)|The Incredible Hulk]]. Though Strong Bad sarcastically calls her creators "geniuses", She-Hulk was co-created by the legendary comic book artist [[Wikipedia:Stan Lee|Stan Lee]] and [[Wikipedia:John Buscema|John Buscema]]. Interestingly, She-Hulk comics are noted for their fourth-wall breaks, similar to Strong Bad's comments on the quality of the Strong Badman comic and his ability to travel from panel to panel.
* Homestar's unusual speech in the surreal Coach Z easter egg is based on a famous scene from the similarly surreal TV series ''[[Wikipedia:Twin Peaks|Twin Peaks]]'', which was co-created by director [[Wikipedia:David Lynch|David Lynch]]. (Strong Sad had cited Lynch as an influence in [[Sbemail 150?!?]].) The actors actually spoke their dialogue backwards, and the recording was then played in reverse, so that the words were heard by the audience in their proper order (though they still sounded unusual and contorted, just as Homestar sounds here).
* [[Wikipedia:Alonzo Mourning|Alonzo Mourning]] is an NBA basketball player.
*A freemason is a member of the [[Wikipedia:York Rite|York Rite]], the [[Wikipedia:Scottish Rite|Scottish Rite]] or any of their allied organizations ([[Wikipedia:DeMolay International|DeMolay]], [[Wikipedia:Job's Daughters International|Job's Daughters]], [[Wikipedia:Order of the Eastern Star|Eastern Star]], etc.) which fall under the umbrella of [[Wikipedia:freemasonry|freemasonry]].
*The phrase 'maxed and relaxed' may be a reference to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song, in which Will Smith states 'maxin' and relaxin' all cool'
*Stinkoman calls Strong Bad "big nose" because American cartoon characters tend to have very large noses compared to Japanese cartoon characters.

==Transcript==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing over a guitar tune}'' I've been walking on clouds and flipping off rainbows on the wiiiiings of an emaiiil...

''{Cut to a wide view of the desk. Strong Sad is standing to the right of Strong Bad with a classical guitar. Strong Bad turns to face him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, man.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No prob, Bob.

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

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: alternate univer$e</div>
Dear Strong Bad, <br />
Got some ?'s for you: <br />
1. What would you do with a hundred million dollars? <br />
2. What would you do if you suddenly found yourself in an alternate universe somehow? <br />
Jody (not a girl), TX
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "question marks" for "?'s", and "Texas" for "TX".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{says everything inside parentheses normally}'' Ya know, you could probably ditch that (not a girl) thing, if you just replaced it with something tough and cool and kool and tuff. Like (Bulldozer). Jody (Bulldozer). Nobody's gonna think that guy's a girl. ''{clears the screen}'' Well Ms. Dozer, you pretty much answered question mark #1 with question mark #2. Cuz a hundred million dollars is exactly how much The Cheat spent on our alternate universe portal.

''{Cut to a wide view of the desk. The Cheat is standing to the right of the Lappy with a blender. A Nintendo Game Boy is in the blender.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Isn't that right, The Cheat?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? This thing only cost us fourteen bucks?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Agreement noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well... that's like a hundred million dollars in... dog years, right?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Single "squeak"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leans towards The Cheat suddenly}'' All right! Mash go on that blender!

''{Camera zooms out a little as The Cheat presses a button on the blender, which causes it to activate. The blender shoots out white bolts as the the lighting in the room flashes. Soon after, the blender stops (Game Boy intact), and there is a large swirl to the right of the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh-ho-ho! Swirly Photoshopped magic! I bet this thing could release some serious Cacodemons. So... ''{The Cheat turns to face Strong Bad}'' what? I -- I just jump in?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leaning backwards}'' Obi-kabi! ''{Strong Bad jumps off the stool and towards the swirl}'' Jump!

''{As soon as Strong Bad touches the swirl, everything turns black and white with the exception of the swirl and Strong Bad, who distorts horizontally and vertically. He "springs" into the swirl. Cut to a panel of a comic strip. There is a picture of some buildings. At the top of the panel is a caption saying "IN A BULDING..."}''

'''NARRATOR:''' In a bulding-

''{Comic shifts left, next panel is an empty room. Strong Bad appears, with "VOIP!" appearing next to him briefly. Everything Strong Bad says while in the comic appears next to him in a speech bubble.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Where am I?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in an action pose on a yellow background. Everything he says is not lip-synced and also appears in a speech bubble.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' STINY! ''{"Stiny!" is in large red text}'' We have a visitor from an alternate universe!

''{Next panel. Strong Bad is in the same room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking to the right}'' It's Strong Badman! And his well drawn abs! ''{looks to the left}'' But... why are we in a crappy apartment instead of a secret underground lair... ''{looks back to the right}'' ...filled with secret underground gadgets?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman's upper body and head is in front of a blue background.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' Because mere mortal... this apartment...

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in front of a red background with his arms in the air.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{speech bubble is large, yellow and pointy}'' ...is rent controlled! ''{next speech bubbles are regular}'' And... water's included.

''{Next panel. There is a kitchen sink and a bathroom sink visible. The bathroom tap has a "FROSH!" next to it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{not visible}'' Is that why all your faucets are running?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is standing in a room.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{each syllable appears individually in red text and is not in a speech bubble}'' Mu-hu-ha-ha-hah! ''{regular speech bubble and text}'' Those dimwits down at the public works won't know what hit them!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{walking in from left}'' So, that's your evil plan? To waste water?

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' And not pay for it!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I gotta tell ya, Strong Badman... this part of your comic is pretty boring. I'm gonna see what's going on further down the page. ''{Strong Bad jumps out of the current panel and falls down three panels. There is a woman with a Big Knife sitting on a giant robotic snake.}'' Oh! Now we're talkin'!

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in the left of the panel, Strong Bad in the center, and there is a TV with the previous panel on it (minus Strong Bad) to the right.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' You're not kidding!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wha?

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' Now we have expanded basic cable...

''{Next panel. Close-up of the wall. There is a hole in it, and there is a cable running through the hole.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{not visible}'' Stolen from my neighbor!
''{Next panel. Strong Bad is in front of a yellow background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Who's writing this issue? The geniuses behind She-Hulk? ''{looks up}'' The Cheat? ''{Cut back to the Computer Room. Strong Bad's voice is slightly distorted. A speech bubble is coming out of the swirl.}'' A little frappe action, if you please.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Single "squeak"}''

''{The Cheat Turns around and pushes a button on the blender, which activates it. Cut back to the previous comic panel. Strong Bad disappears with the same "VOIP!" from when he appeared.}''

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in the same pose as when he first appeared.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' STINY! {"Stiny!" is in large red text} Keep flushing those toilets!

''{Cut to an Old-Timey scene. Old-Timey Strong Bad is standing on a stage with curtains behind him. To the left of him there is a sign saying "STRONG BAD and his GOODE-TIME PARLOR TRICKS". There is a silhouetted audience visible.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes, and for my next parlor trick, I shan't make anything ''{faces left}'' appear!

''{Strong Bad appears to the left of Old-Timey Strong Bad. He is still in color.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. H-hi.

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' ''{crowd starts booing}'' You brightly colored baboon! You ruined my vaudeville!

''{The Homestar Runner's dance music plays as tomatoes are thrown at the two Strong Bads.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah! Shades of grey tomatoes! ''{Strong Bad disappears as Old-Timey Strong Bad looks to the left.}''

''{Cut to Vector Strong Bad floating above a vector drawn field. Strong Bad appears to the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is up, my enormous vector brother?

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{As he speaks, his words come out of his mouth in red vector-style text. They disappear after a short while.}'' HELLOTE.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, uh... ''{cut to close-up of Strong Bad's head}'' what do you do for fun around here? ''{cut back to previous view}''

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' I SPLO STUFF UP. ''{Strong Bad jumps backwards slightly to avoid the "up", which promptly explodes with vector graphics.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, that's pretty cool.

''{Stinkoman walks in from the left.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Hey, guys! How's challenges?

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' WHAT IT IS MY DOGE?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, you two know each other?

''{Cut to close-up of Stinkoman's head}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Oh, totally sure! ''{leans forward and waves one of his arms}'' He's my training simulator! ''{Cut back to previous view.}'' Check it out!

''{Vector Strong Bad starts moving left and right, shooting squares from his mouth, which Stinkoman jumps around to dodge. Strong Bad follows suit shortly after. After a few seconds, they all stop.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Nice work, big nose!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Big nose?

'''STINKOMAN:''' Your nose!

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' LEVEL 2

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-oh.

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Uh-oh.

''{Stinkoman silenty laughs as Vector Strong Bad shoots a series of squares directly at Strong Bad. As they explode, Strong Bad disappears. Vector Strong Bad then shoots some squares at Stinkoman, which he dodges.}''

''{Cut to a field in the style of [[flashback]]. Tiny Handed Strong Bad is standing close to the camera. Strong Bad appears to the right. All text appears in a white rectangle near the bottom of the screen.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' And so, ''{Strong Bad starts looking around}'' both Strong Bads entered the 'Dig To China With Your Ears Contest.'

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is just about... the second or third to worst contest I ever heard of.

''{Cut to a silhouetted view of the field. Pom Pom, Strong Mad, Coach Z, Bubs and Marzipan are standing to the right of a banner which reads "the contest began!!". Tiny Handed Strong Bad is underneath the banner.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' The contest began!

''{Cut to a close-up of Tiny Handed Strong Bad rubbing his head on the ground near a line marked "start".}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' And tiny-handed Strong Bad rubbed his head on the ground... ''{cut to a wide view; Strong Bad is sitting on a hammock with his [[Dangeresque]] sunglasses on.}'' while our Modern Day Hero maxed and relaxed.

''{Cut to Tiny Handed Strong Bad standing near the camera again, as in the first shot. A hole is visible near the background, and a giant glass of root beer appears in the center.}''

'''TINY HANDED STRONG BAD:''' I struck it rich!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Said T.H.S.B.

''{Cut to a zoomed out view of the previous scene, but with the giant glass of root beer in the center. A bee is seen holding Strong Bad's hammock up.}''

'''TINY HANDED STRONG BAD:''' A giant mug of frosty root beer!

''{Old-Timey Strong Bad appears to the left. Tiny Handed Strong Bad looks at him.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Zounds! A sarsparilla swimming hole! Last one in's a freemason! ''{Old-Timey Strong Bad half runs towards the root beer, and says "Jump!" as he jumps in. Strong Bad disappears. Keyboard Strong Bad appears at the bottom left of the screen and plays a tune and dances.}''

''{Cut to a screen in the style of Puppet Stuff. Puppet Strong Bad is standing in front of the Strong Badia fence. The Tire and Sign are visible. Strong Bad appears to the right. Music starts playing and both Strong Bads dance in sync with each other.}''

''{Strong Bad disappears. Cut to where "Da Huuuuuudge" is kept. Strong Bad appears lying down on top of it. He slowly slides down, then disappears.}''

''{Cut to the abandoned factory from [[highschool]]. Teenage Strong Bad is standing to the right. Strong Bad appears to the left.}''

'''TEENAGE STRONG BAD:''' Striped ''{pronounced as "stripe-ed"}'' pants.

''{Strong Bad disappears. Cut to a swirling nothingness of changing colours.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat! Cool out on the liquify button, man!

''{Cut to a zoomed up view of Homestar standing next to the blender in the Computer Room, which now has a green substance inside it, as well as the Game Boy. On the desk is one and a half avacados, and a jar reading "Total Load". Homestar is pressing the buttons on the blender.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm trying to make me a real fruit smoothie here! ''{Cut to a zoomed out version of the Computer Room. Tiny Handed Strong Bad is standing to the left, with Senor Cardgage, Old-Timey Strong Bad and Da Huuuuuudge to the right.}'' Any of you guys got any bee pollen?

''{As Homestar presses another button, Strong Bad appears next to the swirl, along with Strong Badman appearing to the left of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar! Quit messing with my ultimate universe portal!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm trying to replenish some electrolytes, if you don't mind!

''{Homestar presses a button on the blender, which makes him and the swirl disappear. Sterrance appears on the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking around}'' Wow. Just look at all these Strong Bad-related faces. What an all-star cast! What say we all form a super group and record a number one jam! ''{moans are heard from the Strong Bads, although they all remain perfectly still except for Old-Timey Strong Bad}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' I guess...

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' If we must.

''{The screen fades to black, and then cuts to Strong Bad in a recording studio. Some music starts playing, and continues through the rest of the e-mail.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' There's a crazy world of e-mails in this crazy world. ''{Cut to a reversed view of Strong Bad.}'' Checkin' 'em down, checkin' 'em down...

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on Teenage Strong Bad's hat to see a creation of Strong Sad's ideas:
:''{Piano music, fade in on Coach Z holding a pear covered with eyeballs while black coffee continually streams down his mouthless face. Cut to closeups of the pear from two angles, its eyes google, then a closeup of Coach Z's head. Fade via black to the medium shot, Homestar appears next to Coach Z.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{subtitled, in a fake backwards-sounding voice}'' Coach Z, if you're not going to eat that eyeball pear... ''{clears his throat, starts talking normally with no subtitles}'' I suggest you give it to someone who will.
:'''COACH Z:''' I don't know what's going on, Homestar, but I'm not at liberty to discuss what I just did in my pants...
*At the end, click on Senor Cardgage's head to see Strong Bad's meeting with him:
:''{Senor Cardgage is sitting in a boat on a lake, holding a stick with fishing line tied to the end, hanging over the side. Strong Bad appears in the boat.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow, a fishing trip with Senor Cardgage! My life is complete.
:'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Alonzo Mourning to you, Myrtlebeth. Say hello to my tacklebox. ''{holds up said tacklebox}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hello there, tacklebox. ''{smiles}'' I'm such a big fan.
:'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Well, if you could just sign right here on the dotty line, the adaption will be complete.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''You're'' gonna adopt me?
:''{Strong Bad disappears}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{echoey voice-over}'' Aw, man...

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
* A [[Wikipedia:Doppelgänger|Doppelgänger]] refers either to a creature from folklore that mimics people's appearances as an omen of death, or to the theory that everyone in the world has someone else that looks exactly like them.
* [[Wikipedia:Sarsaparilla|Sarsparilla]] is a type of plant used to make beverages, and is a common ingredient in [[Wikipedia:Root Beer|root beer]] (Old-Timey Strong Bad mispronounces it, however. He pronounces it "sar-sparilla," when the general pronunciation is "sass-parilla".)
* [[Wikipedia:Rent control|Rent control]] is a policy used in some urban communities where the market price is deemed "too high." Rent controlled dwellings are highly coveted in the communities where they are available, hence Strong Badman's choosing to live in his apartment rather than a secret underground lair.
* Strong Bad's conversion of fourteen dollars into [[Wikipedia:Dog years|dog years]] refers to the often-confused (and inaccurate) folk formula that dogs age seven "years" for every human year.
*[[Wikipedia:Electrolyte|Electrolytes]] are solutions of [[Wikipedia:Ion|ions]] (such as sodium and potassium salts) and are often drunk to ease [[Wikipedia:Dehydration|dehydration]].

===Trivia===
*This email is the longest email to date, almost a minute longer than [[flashback]], currently the next longest.
*When Strong Bad jumps from one panel to another in the Strong Badman comic, he passes a panel with an explosion, saying "TADAOW!", and a panel with Deutschman (from [[haircut]]), holding a chain of sausages, saying "KINDER UBERRASCHUNG!!", which is the German name for [[Wikipedia:Kinder Surprise|Kinder Surprise]] (though Uberraschung should be spelled Überraschung).
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#weird dreams|weird dreams]]".

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad has no visible nose or ears so the fact they are mentioned is notable.
*Senor Cardgage is the only Strong Bad's alter ego who had before been seen talking with him, as seen in [[kind of cool]] and [[Senorial Day]].
*This is a rare occassion of Strong Bad being nice to Strong Sad.
*This is the first time we have heard Da Huuuuuuudge speak.
*In [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], Strong Sad is seen writing with his right hand. However, in this email, Strong Sad is playing the guitar [[Left Handedness|left-handed]].
*This is the first time Stinkoman smiles.

===Goofs===
*During the comic scene, when the panel changes from "Because, mere mortal" to "Is rent controlled!", the panels underneath get changed.
*At the end, when the paper comes down, you can see that Strong Bad's pants have changed from black to dark navy, but not the pant legs. (As opposed to the Sweet Cuppin' Cakes Strong Bad standing next to him.)

===Fixed Goofs===
*When the email was released, "girl" was misspelled as "gir" in Jody's email. This was fixed shortly thereafter.

===Inside References===
*Strong Sad was previously seen playing an acoustic guitar in a recent [[Sketchbook#SK-2006-03-02|Sketchbook]], although that guitar was a twelve-string. Here he plays a six-string.
*Putting a [[Wikipedia:Game Boy line|Game Boy]] in a [[Blender|blender]] to access an alternate reality was discovered by Homestar in [[2 emails]], when he made a time machine in this way.
*Strong Bad also confused the value of money and lengths of time in [[space program]].
*Strong Bad's "Mash go on that blender" is based on similar lines from [[flashback]], ("The Cheat mashed play on an extremely expensive [[Jam Box|jambox]]"), [[strongbad_email.exe]] ("make your selection and mash go, moron!"), and [[Everybody Knows It]] ("Mash play on that jambox").
*The "In a bulding"  line, including its accent and pronounciation, is straight from the [[Sketchbook (video)|DVD Sketchbook]] (though it was spelled correctly there).
*The music in the Strong Badman comic is from [[action figure]].
*Strong Bad visits many previous emails in his travels:
**Strong Badman and Stiny originated in [[superhero name]].
**Vector Strong Bad is from [[video games]].
**Stinkoman originated in [[japanese cartoon]].
**Tiny-handed Strong Bad is from [[flashback]].
**Keyboard Strong Bad originated in [[crazy cartoon]].
**Da Huuuuuudge and Sterrance are both from [[animal]].
**Teenage Strong Bad and the term "striped pants" are from [[highschool]].
**Senor Cardgage originated in [[kind of cool]].
*Strong Bad mentioned real fruit smoothies earlier in [[mascot]].
*The Easter egg with coffee-drenched Coach Z and the eyeball pear begins exactly as described and storyboarded by Strong Sad in [[Sbemail 150?!?]].
*The fishing boat, lake and background sounds are all from [[lures & jigs]].
*Coach Z presumably "puked his pants", as mentioned in [[secret recipes]].
*"I hope it's from a girl" is a possible reference to [[dragon]].
* "Doge" is a reference to [[Biz Cas Fri 1]], where Homestar mispells "Dawg".
*The word ''sesquicentenn-email'', which would mean "150th email", was coined by Strong Sad in [[Sbemail 150?!?]].
*The word "VOIP" is a reference to the [[Visor Robot]]'s sound effect from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].
*"Super Group" is a reference to [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]].

=== Real-World References ===
* [[Wikipedia:Cacodemons|Cacodemons]] are evil spirits or demons, the opposite being an angel or "agathodemon". However, the name cacodemon is more well known as an enemy from the computer games ''[[Wikipedia:Doom|Doom]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Doom II|Doom II]]''. The plot for these games involved demons coming out of portals to hell.
* [[Wikipedia:Adobe Photoshop|Photoshop]] is a widely used image editor from Adobe Systems Incorporated. The term "photoshopped" has come to mean any digital edit done to an image, even if it wasn't done in Photoshop itself. The term is often used pejoratively, to say that something is rather obviously edited.
* "Oba Kaybe" is a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Bill Cosby: Himself|Bill Cosby: Himself]]'', a stand-up comedy movie from 1983 starring, naturally, [[Wikipedia:Bill Cosby|Bill Cosby]]. This is how the ''Cosby Kids'' character "Mushmouth" would pronounce the word "okay".
* [[Wikipedia:She-Hulk|She-Hulk]] is a comic book heroine from [[Wikipedia:Marvel Comics|Marvel Comics]] and the cousin of [[Wikipedia:Hulk (comics)|The Incredible Hulk]]. Though Strong Bad sarcastically calls her creators "geniuses", She-Hulk was co-created by the legendary comic book artist [[Wikipedia:Stan Lee|Stan Lee]] and [[Wikipedia:John Buscema|John Buscema]]. Interestingly, She-Hulk comics are noted for their fourth-wall breaks, similar to Strong Bad's comments on the quality of the Strong Badman comic and his ability to travel from panel to panel.
* Homestar's unusual speech in the surreal Coach Z easter egg is based on a famous scene from the similarly surreal TV series ''[[Wikipedia:Twin Peaks|Twin Peaks]]'', which was co-created by director [[Wikipedia:David Lynch|David Lynch]]. (Strong Sad had cited Lynch as an influence in [[Sbemail 150?!?]].) The actors actually spoke their dialogue backwards, and the recording was then played in reverse, so that the words were heard by the audience in their proper order (though they still sounded unusual and contorted, just as Homestar sounds here).
* [[Wikipedia:Alonzo Mourning|Alonzo Mourning]] is an NBA basketball player.
*A freemason is a member of the [[Wikipedia:York Rite|York Rite]], the [[Wikipedia:Scottish Rite|Scottish Rite]] or any of their allied organizations ([[Wikipedia:DeMolay International|DeMolay]], [[Wikipedia:Job's Daughters International|Job's Daughters]], [[Wikipedia:Order of the Eastern Star|Eastern Star]], etc.) which fall under the umbrella of [[Wikipedia:freemasonry|freemasonry]].
*The phrase 'maxed and relaxed' may be a reference to the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song, in which states 'maxin' and relaxin' all cool'
*The portal to the alternate universe looks very similar to portals to the light/dark world in [[Wikipedia:Metroid Prime 2: Echoes|Metroid Prime 2: Echoes]].
*Stinkoman calls Strong Bad "big nose" because American cartoon characters tend to have very large noses compared to Japanese cartoon characters.
*The word "VOIP" may be a reference to the acronym for "Voice-Over-Internet Protocol", a system for transmitting voice telephone calls digitally via the internet instead of over telephone lines.
