:So, if you don't mind me asking, how/where did you watch it? I forgot to set an alarm to check the site at 7pm, but all I see now is Episode 1 with a broken link and nothing else. Maybe it's my browser or maybe it was a temporary thing? I don't see anything in logins and memberships either. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 09:18, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
::I watched it on the website while it was live, I don’t think there are any archives though [[User:TheOneAndOnlyDanky|TheOneAndOnlyDanky]] 17:14, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
:::Strong Bad's Twitter says there are no official archives (outside the music video) and any unofficial ones are being actively DMCA'd/copyright striked by Schrab Home Video. Dunno if an admin will need to physically remove the URL from Gfdgsgxgzgdrc's edit reason on the main article page. — [[User:Ngamer01|Ngamer01]] 14:36, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

Ngamer01: Easter egg During Cult Classics Redux

== Easter egg During Cult Classics Redux ==

For those watching the H*R segments of this video, there is a [http://homestarrunner.com/slash/slash/ certain URL] on a whiteboard that can be seen during the video. I figured I should mention it if it's ok to document this. — [[User:Ngamer01|Ngamer01]] 12:59, 12 July 2017 (UTC)

2017-03-27T16:51:54Z

Ngamer01: The redirect to Coach Z only is a bit much when "Z" can refer to a number of things in the H*R world. Also it's been awhile, so hopefully I did this ok (I might be rusty at this).

'''Z''' may refer to:

*The main character [[Coach Z]]
*The main character [[Marzipan]]
*The TV shopping network [[Z' ShopChan]]
*The Easter egg game '''[[Coach Z Talker]]'''

Ngamer01: /* Regarding Deleting Articles */ Making another comment. There is no hurry to clear out Articles for Discussion since that project has no time limit even with low wiki activity.

== RIP: The Some Links to Help You Get Started Bot==

''Here lies the bot 
''Deleted 3/12/13'' 
''Some two years after I joined'' 
I pine for you!''

== Weclome! ==

Hey there, Bronco! I'm guessing your name is from [[Bronco Trolleys]]? Man, I'd almost forgotten that thing even existed. Anyways, I notice you were testing things out on the [{{FULLURL:guitar|diff=720167&oldid=718104}} guitar page]... please use [[HRWiki:Sandbox]] for any other tests you want to do, since testing in articles will normally be reverted quickly. Also, check out the [[Help:Editing]] page if you would like to learn more about contributing to the wiki. Thanks, and keep on tranglin'. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:31, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

== Deleting files ==

Recently you said something about wanting to delete a file you've uploaded. You actually can't do that. What you can do is ask for it to be deleted by using the {{t|delete}} template, which will add a box to the page that says the page should be deleted. Hopefully a sysop (i.e. a user who can delete pages) will notice it and delete it for you. For example, you might try writing "<nowiki>{{delete|failed attempt for use in user page}}</nowiki>" in addition to the description. Hope that helps. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 20:56, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

:Why thank you, kind sir! (ONION BUBSSS!!! ONION BUBS!!) Unfortunately, I also don't know how respond properly so I'm just editing my own talk page. These kids and their fangled HTML codes and fancy wireless phones! I clicked the delete template page and it says it is pending deletion. The irony! <<(Sorry about the its there.)
::On this wiki, responding properly is generally done on the same talk page so as to keep all the relevant discussion in the same place. So you got that much right. Each further response is generally done by adding a colon to the beginning of your response, which indents it. (adding two colons indents it twice, etc.) And in order to sign your talk post, just type <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> to make your signature and the time appear. And every template page has an example of itself on the page so you know what it looks like. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 22:29, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
: is one colon alright or do I need to add indents consecutively?
:::''Like this?'' As for signature, {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} I was wondering how to change font size.
::::Like that. We have a limit of twenty pixels in height per [[Help:Signature|customized]] [[HRWiki:Signature|signature]], so changing font size is generally discouraged. You can change the font style though, by adding "font-family:font;" into the span tag. If you want a wider font, you can replace the red text with that font's name. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 03:03, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
:::::Like I said, it can only be 20 pixels tall. Here's a box to tell you how big your signature can be: [[File:sigbox.png]] and [[User:The thing/sig|here]] is a visual example of how to use it. It also has to be a text version of your user name, so I'm sorry to tell you, but you can't use the newly created picture of your name in your signature. Also, you've uploaded lots of personal images in the past few days. Per our [[HRWiki:Personal images|standards]], you're only allowed to keep three of them, and that's if one of them is included in your signature. It keeps things from getting out of hand. Thanks for understanding. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 22:54, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
:::::: Ahh, I was just about to scale it down to 20 px. With text I will only have 3 personal images, as others are unused/ non personal (One on my user page, and two in the signature).

== Signature ==

Hey there Broncotroll, I notice that your custom signature violates a few of the [[HRWiki:Signature|policies about signatures]]. First of all, "Your signature must include a text version of your username, '''with a link to your user page'''." Yours appears to lack the link. Secondly, "'''A background other than white is strongly discouraged''', and any such background must be confined to the immediate text area. Borders or blinking (or '''anything else that gives undue salience to a signature) are not allowed'''". To me, the stark contrast of the black background gives your signature undue salience. Hope that helps! {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:17, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
:Right so I'm currently working on those links (I'm not very good at html) and is there anyway the links don't turn my words blue? I mean, I know there is, but how? Thanks! As for the unique salience, I know I'm bending the rules a bit but I was hoping it would work as it wasn't explicitly forbidden- and I'm going for a very specific 1986 Loz File look. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 02:53, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
::I can help you out not making them blue if you want. Also, links won't work on images. About the look, that determination is not mine alone to make. (Whisperingly, I personally appreciate the look you're going for.) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 03:04, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
:::(Whisperingly) Thanks. Here's the coding (not here anymore) which must be glitchy cause both links appear on the sig page while only one random one appears when I insert my signature on a page. I tried to look at the code for your signature as reference, but it looked like the quadratic formula exploded. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 03:17, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
::::Thanks for the help! It does work perfectly on the sig page, but only one link works at a time when it's used on other pages (it might just be on my operating system). {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 03:24, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
:::::Actually, when using a link on the page it links to, the link won't work. Meaning, if you use the sig on this page, your talk page link won't work, because this is already your talk page. Likewise, using it on your user page will make the user page link not work. Anywhere else, both links will work. As for how to include your sig and timestamp without having to type it manually, type four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). Make sure that in your [[Special:Preferences|preferences]], the "signature" field says "<nowiki>{{User:Broncotroll/sig}}</nowiki>" and that the "Treat signature as wikitext (without an automatic link)" checkbox is selected to ensure that it uses your custom signature properly. Hope that helps! {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 03:34, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
:::::::Ahah! It'all makes sense now! That does help, I was wondering why the four tilde shortcut didn't work before. Test drive! {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 03:39, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
::::::::Hooray! You did it! {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 03:40, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
::::::::: Hooway! (Pronounced like Homestar Runner in I can't remember what. DARN IT!) It's getting really difficult to keep track of these colons. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 03:43, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
An aside, yes. I think my sig is probably the most confusing syntax on the entire wiki. It's because of the gradient and each character needing its own color code plus the fact that it's set up to automatically adjust for various holidays. Many have come before you trying to understand the mystery that is my signature and failed, and many will come after. Or... maybe not. But still, yeah, it's quite a piece of work. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 03:43, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
:: HAH! An excuse to cut back on colons! I'll take it! I'll take twelve! Wow, I must not usually reference hr that much. It must be the wiki that brings it outta me. Anyway, yeah it looks like general relativity or something. Except in general relativity time slows down when closer to a black hole...- and in your signature, it slows down when, well, reading your signature. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 03:49, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
:::I took the liberty of fixing the "wacky fonts" for you. It should now look normal even on your user page and here. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 04:58, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
:::: You monster! Now I'm a solid millenia behind on repaying my eternal debt to you! You throttle me dry, man. << that euphemism needs work {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 10:25, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

=== This again ===

Your recent change to your signature has made it all but unreadable. You need to change your background color to something that contrasts with the text. In fact, you need to remove the background color altogether and just leave it white. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:01, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

==Oh noio stuff==
Do you even know about the oh noio and Bubble?
:Yeah, no. I just meant I was freakin' out. Apparently I'm out of da loop. Apparently is the wrong word, I was always out of the loop, I'm like past the solar wind of the loop. Or past the Observable Loopaverse. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 01:22, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

== Adding a new thread on a talk page ==

Hey, here's a tip. To start a new thread on a talk page, just press the plus [ + ] button up there at the top of the page in between the edit and history buttons. Keep on tranglin'. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:01, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

== Ohhh... magical... ==

Woh. This is like an email interface. Thanks, dot com! ...How did you know I was typing it in manually? {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 21:08, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
:Whoa indeed. I could tell because your formatting was a little off from the automatic formatting the system uses, and because the section linker showed the previous section. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:10, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

== User Account ==

Thanks for recommending It's dot mom, I now have a user account. However, I will not be able to do anything with it for a few days, my Grandma just got out of the hospital (she had her appendix removed). So I won't be able to do anything big for a while.

== Hello! And your Page ==

Hi Broncotroll,

First off, sorry you're feeling "inactive". All I can say is hang in there, cheer up, things get more "active" with time! Also regarding your page: the reason it broke was that you deleted the closing brackets "<code><nowiki>|}</nowiki></code>" from your user label thingy-magigs. Just add it to the bottom of the last one (and perhaps add an invisicomment above it to remind you not to delete it) and that will do the trick! Good luck! And keep on tranglin'

--[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:01, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

:Awww, thanks Stux. You're great. I'm just having a mid-mid-life crisis of sorts. You know, college. The human condition. It's rough.

== Recent vandalism ==

Hey Broncotroll, welcome back! I'm not sure if I should say this, but I didn't look at the content of the latest vandalism on your page until after I had reverted it. I acted on the edits that the vandal had made a few minutes before and the rule that says you have to be logged in to edit your user page. Now that I have looked at it, I don't think I would make that explicit content readily available with one click. I'm not gonna make you remove it; I'm just gonna say that it might be a good idea. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 03:19, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

:Okay, I'll delete it. ("Make me" remove it?) It was just a status symbol anyway—how many times I've been vandalized.
I didn't think it was unusually obscene for vandalism, I've seen much worse.
And I don't mind people editing my userpage as long they are being constructive and/or fixing my mistakes. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}}

== GIF thumbnails ==

GIF thumbnails don't work. You put them in right, it just doesn't work. Google it. It's a whole thing with the MediaWiki software. Google it if you care to read all about it. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 04:52, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
:Yeah, we're working on that. They actually do work with MediaWiki and have for a while on our site, but something got borked about three years ago and we just now noticed because animated gifs are relatively rare for our wiki. We've manually fixed the ones already on [[@StrongBadActual]]. We're working on a permanent fix, but in the meantime we'll manually fix any others we come across, so feel free to upload them and use them in articles. We have a test wiki and they work just fine there, so at the very least they'll be fine once we upgrade MediaWiki versions, which should happen someday, probably. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:14, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
::Weird. Thanks for fixing it anyway. You can never have enough gif/jifs. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 21:03, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

== Happy Birthday! ==

{{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=User:Broncotroll&diff=next&oldid=749042 Happy Birthday}} Broncotroll!

Heyo! Just want to tell you real quick to please use the columns for Summary and Licensing and add your licensing to pictures that you upload. Thanks! - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 19:30, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
:Hey again! Don't forget to use columns on Talk pages too for futureproofing in the case of more than one discussion. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 00:11, 22 July 2015 (UTC)
:: Sorry! Thanks for the advice. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 00:15, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

==Greetings==
Regarding my recent edit to {{p|l={{FULLURL:Singular Instead of Plural|diff=749162&oldid=749158}} Singular Instead of Plural}}, I didn't mean to dismiss your inclusion of "I'm gonna go... place" in [[different town]]. I mainly removed it because the system wasn't letting me revert the change, so I had to do a bulk revert. It's kind of hard to tell what he might have meant given he was actively admitting that his imagination was busted, but I always thought he was talking about going to one place. You may be on to something though, since "I'm gonna go places" is a grammatically correct sentence. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 06:05, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
: Right. But then why did you include the "some people wears part"? That's plural. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 06:07, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
:: But I understand what you mean. If he said "I'm going to go... place" like as a cop out to get away. Regardless, it would be grammatically incorrect even if he intended it that way. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 06:10, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
::: Ugh I can't sleep. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 06:11, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
::My edit summary in the link above referred to "wear", not "place". The only conjugation that turns it to "wears" is the third person singular. (edit conflict'd) I'm not disputing that it's a grammatically incorrect sentence. Just that that being the case wouldn't directly warrant inclusion on a page that focuses on one specific type of grammatical error. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 06:15, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
::: It's this type of grammatical error. This exact type. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 06:20, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
::::It's only this exact type if Strong Bad actually meant "I'm gonna go places". If he meant "I'm gonna go some place", it's not. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 06:24, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
::::: You can say the same about many of the other examples, "And it sold like hotcake!" could have been "and it sold like a hotcake"! I do get your point though, since "go some place" is more likely to be said in this scenario than "go places". It's conjecture though. Subjective. Maybe ask the talk page? {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 06:29, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

== "Yelling at you" ==

Hey there Broncotroll, I've noticed a couple of times where you referred to me "yelling at you". It's hard to convey tone and emotion over text-only communication such as this wiki, but I wanted to leave a note here to try to let you know that my intention has never been to yell. Often my edit summaries will be somewhat terse, usually because there's a limited space in which to type them, but in no way does that mean that I'm yelling. I really bear no hostility toward you whatsoever. I may revert your edits and I may not always agree with you, but that doesn't mean that I won't treat you with the respect you deserve. And in general, I think you tend to do mostly good work around here. Hope that clears it up. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 13:53, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
: I don't think you're yelling, I just noticed that you were closely following (and reverting) many of my edits last night and it made me a little self edit conscious. Thanks Defender, that means a lot. You did 50% of the editing during the hiatus while everyone else had given up, and I have a lot of respect for you. Your pal,
{{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 15:57, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
::I follow pretty much ALL edits. You just happen to be making a lot of them (not a bad thing) :) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:07, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
:::In addition, the general rule here is that if someone reverts you, especially on a long-standing article, you take it to the talk page rather than edit warring. Especially when the person who reverted you already took it to the talk page, you should not put your edit back in place until the conversation is concluded. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:10, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
:::: Please tell me what was problematic with my edits. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 00:13, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
::::: Also, I know the edit revert thing. I just got a little heavy handed. Sorry. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 00:14, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

== Wiki Etiquette ==

Hey there Broncotroll, I wanted to come here to leave you a message about some of the general wiki etiquette that we tend to prefer around here. Much of your recent editing has been difficult to navigate because of this, and I was hoping to give you some pointers to make it easier for everyone in the future. So here we go.
#Taking on large projects without prior discussion should be avoided. — Examples include the wide sweeping edits you've been making to the pluralization articles, as well as the glossary. The wiki doesn't have to be perfect right this second. If you see minor things which need fixing, spelling errors, a fun fact worth adding, etc. go ahead and add it. If, on the other hand, you think something is inconsistent and needs a major overhaul, please bring it up on the talk page first and wait for consensus before making broad sweeping changes that are not guaranteed to be agreed with by everyone and leaving a mess of edits for people to sort through some of which may be good, but many of which will need reverting. Especially when you have ALREADY brought up a topic on the talk page, please wait for responses before launching into a major overhaul. Which brings me to my next piece of advice.
#When you leave a talk page post, give people some time to respond before becoming frantic. — For example {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AGlossary&diff=750006&oldid=631702 these 8 posts}}, all by you, were made in the span of less than 5 hours. Some people have jobs. Some people, as you appear to already have realized, are in different timezones. The remaining active wiki users are not on the wiki 24/7. Give it a couple of days before assuming no one will see or respond to your talk post.
#Overall, try to be a team player. — The wiki is a team effort, and will be better overall if we discuss, analyze, and come to a consensus first, rather than each trying to do our own thing and ending up stepping on each others' toes.
Hope that helps! {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:03, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
:: You're right. I have been noticing I've gotten a little manic with my editing. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 00:07, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
::Though I do wish people would respond. -_- {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 00:09, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
:::I've been planning to respond. It takes time to filter through so many talk posts at once, understand what you're saying in all of them, try to keep track of it all, and formulate a response to each point. You've got a gift which is a heck of a lot of creative energy. You've also got a curse, which is a heck of a lot of creative energy. You gotta give the rest of us a chance to keep up. :) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:29, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
:::: That's incredibly sweet of you to say, thanks :) {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 00:31, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
:::::Whew... that took a while. I finally managed to respond to (I hope) all of your points on [[Talk:Plural Instead of Singular]] and [[Talk:Glossary]]. I hope you'll try to keep what I said in mind to make it a little easier in the future. Oh, and you're welcome. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:16, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
::::::BroncoTroll - On that note, there have been times recently when I've delayed responding until I was sure you were through so I wouldn't get edit conflict'd. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 23:41, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
::One thing I'm noticing is that you're adding an opinion to a tbd page and proceeding to remove the tbd template. This is not recommended because it effectively means you're trying to close the discussion. I can tell that you want to get things done, but this goes against all three of DeFender's points earlier in this section (probably the last two more so than the first). If the discussion were closed right after your post, you're not giving anyone a chance to respond, which goes against the second point, and if the discussion were closed, your post would always be last, which is a form of monopolizing the system, which goes against the third point. And you're doing a lot of it right now (I'm led to believe that you're using the [[:Category:Articles for Discussion]] list), which could be considered taking on a fairly large project (although you could argue there was prior discussion hence the articles' inclusion in that category in the first place). Several of them have an established consensus to keep, so it was a good thing that you brought that back to our attention. However, the articles that don't have consensus to keep, even if they have consensus to delete, should not have the discussion closed until action is taken regarding keep or delete. Thanks for using your creative energy. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 23:41, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
:::::::I just add opinions to things I agree with, it had nothing to do with closing the conversation. It usually had to do with the fact that several other people agreed and/or that the page hadn't been discussed in over five years, which defeats the purpose of the template. I was just annoyed by the sheer amount of wikimaintainance templates which haven't been resolved. And referencing "my creative energy" feels condescending. I want to feel like I'm doing something productive, not like I'm being "creative". {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 00:00, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
::::::::I didn't mean to be condescending; I was just taking what DeFender said earlier. And I'm sorry you took it differently than when he said it. Either way, just because the discussion hasn't seen any action in five years doesn't mean it shouldn't see any anymore. Like I said (which I guess I didn't say directly) it's okay that you took them off of the ones that had an established consensus to keep. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 00:15, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
:::::::::I think what I meant to say instead of closing the discussion was that removing the tbd template takes the (for lack of a better word) recognition off of those pages that we need to keep an eye on.

== Discussion Focus ==

Hey Broncotroll, it's me again. I wanted to point out another thing I noticed which is that it's best to try to keep the focus of talk page conversations limited to the subject at hand. If you have ideas for unrelated stuff, that's great, (like I said, you have a lot of creative energy) but it's probably best to bring those ideas up in a more appropriate place rather than sidetracking an unrelated thread. Anyway, keep up the great work! {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 09:06, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
: Ugh, I feel like my work has been pretty sloppy. Thanks though. :) {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 09:07, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
::Don't be so hard on yourself. You're learning. I'm here to teach. As long as you're willing to learn and keep improving, which you are and you are, I don't see a problem with this. Besides, the wiki's seem a lot of activity lately thanks to you. A lot of articles have been moved forward and seen progress because of your creative energy. That says something about you. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 09:55, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

== Image Cropping ==

So... I hate to do another one of these, because I feel like I've been correcting you a lot and I don't want to make you feel like I think you're doing everything wrong (because I don't think that). That having been said... I ''did'' notice one more little thing, which is that many of the images you've uploaded are leaving parts of the black border in the image. If you take a look at the wiki's [[HRWiki:Standards#Screenshot|standards for screenshots]], you'll notice that it mentions:
<blockquote>
Most toons are framed by a border with rounded edges. When taking a full-sized screenshot, cropping the frame of the toon will leave rounded black regions in each corner. To remove these, replace each black corner with the color of the nearby part of the image (for the most part, those regions are monochromatic). This method is preferred to merely cropping the frame so that the black corners are out of image, since this latter approach omits some of the information in the scene.
</blockquote>
Basically, the best way to take a screenshot is to open it in mspaint or an equivalent image editor and then zoom in so that you can crop the pixels precisely to the edge of the frame, and then go around to the four corners of the image and use the color selector to get the color that the rounded black parts are surrounded by, and use the bucket to paint them with the proper color. It would be very helpful if you could do that in the future. It would be extra-super helpful if you could do that with the {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=upload&user=Broncotroll&page=&year=&month=-1 images you've already uploaded}} as well. Thanks. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 10:22, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
: I figured other people would do that, I just wanted to get images in there since it's better than nothing. I'll try it though.{{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 20:56, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
:: Ugh, I [http://hrwiki.org/wiki/File:vcr-have.png tried] to crop the black out but it didn't upload correctly. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 22:23, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
::: Nevermind, it worked, just took a while to update I guess. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 01:22, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
::::Wow, you're fast. As for things taking a while to upload, mediawiki has this thing where the most recent version of a file uploaded is always at the same URL. This ends up causing browser cache issues, so people may still end up seeing an older version of the picture for a while. It doesn't mean it took a while to upload or didn't upload correctly, it just means your browser's cache is out of date. Anyway, that's just a minor point. I see you've corrected a whole bunch of images like this. I'm especially impressed with your description of how you handled [[:File:datingprolif.png]]. I'm not sure I would even have thought of it!

== Removing templatos ==

Heyo! It seems that when removing templates, you appear to leave blank space. If you could, please make sure there are no spaces at the top of articles or talk pages. DeFendm'n has been removing these spaces behind you, so I think he would probably appreciate it if you delete the spaces. Thanks! - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 18:24, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

== Regarding Deleting Articles ==

I've happened to notice you're quick on the draw to label "unnecessary" articles with the speedy delete template (and sometimes add the "Deleted Talk" template for talk pages). The correct process for main articles though is to use the "To Be Discussed" template (and "Talk To Be Discussed" for talk pages). Even if it's a slow process due to lack of overall wiki activity, it's supposed to give people time to talk and discuss an article's quality and only when most people agree that an article can't be saved, then an admin or a user with mod privileges can delete the article and slap "Deleted Talk" on the talk page.

Remember <nowiki>{{tbd}}</nowiki> for articles and <nowiki>{{ttbd}}</nowiki> for article talk pages that should have a discussion about article quality. I hope this helps. — [[User:Ngamer01|Ngamer01]] 16:19, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

: Every article I've deleted is already up for discussion, and my deletions are all vetted usually before if not after I add the delete template. You're not giving me enough credit. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 17:16, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

::<s>Honestly, the only real mark for deletion that I think was premature was Sam and Max. The [[Talk:Sam & Max|only person who was for the deletion]] was Broncotroll herself. Most of her other markings were done with other people agreeing on the talk page. There's such a small amount of active editors here that I don't think we should be expecting any more than three people to comment on a deletion. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 20:22, 6 September 2015 (UTC)</s>
::: I put Sam and Max up for deletion? I didn't mean to. It's the only one with legitimate references. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 04:08, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
:::: I just looked, never put it up for deletion. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 04:08, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
::::: I know Catjaz striked this out, but unlike other H*R Wiki projects like the former Featured Articles project that went by a time limit and thus was fine with minimal consensus, article deletions don't have a time limit. Sure for matters where articles are voted to be moved to a new name or merged into similar articles, users can handle that themselves by redirecting/merging + deleted talk after a sufficient period of time, but there is no hurry to nuke an article voted to be deleted outright (unless it's obvious spam/vandalism).

::::: You can leave the To Be Discussed templates up and an admin will deal with discussed articles when one of them feels like doing some work in the Articles for Discussion category. Sure wiki activity will be slow, discussions might be slow to happen if at all, but it's fair to give at least some time for discussions to take place. Bronco, you do good work here, but I figured I could offer advice on the process of Articles of Discussion (and to help make the admins' jobs easier in logging what happened with each discussed article). — [[User:Ngamer01|Ngamer01]] 14:56, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

{{tbd}}
[[Image:Rabbitdog&bunnymn.png|thumb|They fight crime. Sometimes on purpose.]]
[[Wikipedia:Sam & Max|'''Sam and Max''']] is a long-running series about the adventures of Sam, a six-foot revolver wielding dog, and Max, a hyperkinetic-rabbity-thing. Together they form the Freelance Police and take on many strange cases involving, amoungst other things, washed-up child stars, the mafia, volcano gods, talking space gorrilas and Lovecraftian elder gods. They have been referenced in the Homestar Runner series a few times, mostly through [[Telltale Games]]' involvement in [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]].

Sam first interacted with Homestar Runner characters in [[Make a Scene With Telltale at PAX 2010]] when he question Marzipan about a murder. Mr. Featherly, a chicken who was famous as an actor on a television show in Sam & Max Save the World, also had a speaking role, and Strong Bad and several of Telltale's Sam & Max characters had non-speaking roles. However, in that cartoon the characters had dialog and voices written and performed by fans at the Penny Arcade Expo. The first instance of characters from both universes interacting together with their official voices and with dialog written by the license holders came in [[Poker Night at the Inventory]] when Max and Strong Bad were both participants in a poker tournament at an exclusive club called [[The Inventory]] where video game characters relax on their days off.

*[[Poker Night at the Inventory]] — Max is one of the players along with Strong Bad. Bluster Blaster, the arcade game from the Sam & Max games, is played by Strong Bad after he loses the game. Also, Banang, a running joke in games by Telltale Games that originated in "Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space: Episode 2: Moai Better Blues", is continued in a conversation between Strong Bad and Max (a container of Banang also appears in a room in the opening scene when the elevator is going down to The Inventory). Sam, Flint Paper, Girl Stinky and Mama Bosco also make cameos.
**[[Poker Night at the Inventory Teaser]] — Max appears in silhouette, along with Strong Bad, Tycho and The Heavy.

Also, The Commissioner from the Sam & Max series calls Strong Bad by accident, resulting in Strong Bad replying "Do WHAT to a rabbit? You've got the wrong number, pal." Additionally, one of the backgrounds in the Snap Shak is Sam & Max's office and Bosco's Inconvenience store from "Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space".
**[[8-Bit is Enough]] — When you set the machine to high backstage at Gel-Arshie's Pro Fruitboarder, Gel-Arshie says "Hi! I'm Gel-Arshie!" in the same way that Hugh Bliss said "Hi! I'm Hugh Bliss!" in "Sam & Max Save the World".

[[Image:Webcomicpreview.png|thumb|"Slickly drawn college roommates make nothing but video game inside jokes."]]
[[Image:strongbadandtycho.png|thumb|"Yeah, yeah. I hate you. Whatever."]]
'''[[wikipedia:Penny Arcade (webcomic)|Penny Arcade]]''' is a web comic about video games that stars Tycho and Gabe, the alter egos of creators Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins respectively. They also hold a convention called [[wikipedia:Penny Arcade Expo|PAX]], the Penny Arcade Expo. Tycho was able to appear with [[Strong Bad]] and other video game characters due to the episodic video game ''[[wikipedia:Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness|Penny Arcade Adventures]]''. Although the comic has been referred to in the past, most references to Penny Arcade and PAX are due to [[Telltale Games]]' involvement in [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]] and [[Poker Night at the Inventory]].

Tycho first appeared with [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] characters in Make a Scene With Telltale at PAX 2010 when he was a suspect along with [[Marzipan]] in a murder. However, in that cartoon, the characters had dialogue and voices written and performed by fans at the Penny Arcade Expo. The first instance of characters from both universes interacting together with dialog written by the license holders came in Poker Night at the Inventory when Max and Strong Bad were both participants in a poker tournament at an exclusive club called The Inventory where video game characters relax on their days off. All of the characters in the game were performed by their official voice actors, including Strong Bad. Tycho was voiced for the first time in the game.

==Tycho's relationship with Strong Bad==
While most of the players at The Inventory's poker game seem casually friendly towards each other, Strong Bad and Tycho have a barely concealed hatred of each other. Strong Bad thinks Tycho is a dork and mocks penny-arcade.com calling it a "Geocities site". In response, Tycho calls him a "chuwero", a made up racial slur.

==Appearances==
*[[Make a Scene with Telltale at PAX 2010]] — Tycho is in the toon along with Marzipan and [[Strong Sad]]. The characters are voiced by audience members.
*[[Poker Night at the Inventory]] — Tycho is one of the players, along with Strong Bad. Strong Bad makes fun of PAX again, as well as the Penny Arcade web comic and Tycho himself.
**[[Poker Night at the Inventory Teaser]] Tycho appears in silouette, along with Strong Bad, The Heavy, and [[Sam & Max|Max]].
**[[Poker Night at the Inventory Trailer]] Tycho, Strong Bad, Max, and The Heavy are seen interacting for the first time.

==References==
*Email [[web comics]] — The art style and premise of the "GAMERJōX" web comic is based on Penny Arcade with Strong Bad resembling Gabe.

== Numbering the Tweets ==

So, there are many tweets and possibly more to come. However, when a tweet references some running gag in the Homestar Runner Universe, it is added to the "appearances" section of that running gag's page, but just as @StrongBadActual. Should we have some kind of numbering system for the tweets, so if the tweets repeat a joke, you can identify which tweets and referencing what joke? I feel bunching all the tweets together instead of listing them seperately makes it a bit confusing. It's like if we just put "Videlectrix" whenever the website referenced a joke. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 00:38, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
:It would be a great idea to use ''some'' form of identificaption for each tweet. But now comes the difficult part. Is numbering adequate? For example, if we number them based on the order they are added (eg, 001, 002, 003), but we forget to list one of them (so the fifth one is written as 004 instead of 005), do we change all of the surrounding numbers (008 becomes 009 and so on) or just tack it on as an afterthought (adding 004 as 004a, for example)?
:Or, do we use the numerical identifier Twitter uses for each tweet (eg, Keyboard Strong Bad is "591293390140153856"), or the ASCII-based identifier for the shorter link to the page itself (Keyboard Strong Bad is "aRm7hX7iUC")? Should readability be important, or should it take a backseat to accuracy? And, if it should be readable, should it include the date and time, subject, accompanying toon, or any other relevant information to distinguish it from the other tweets?
:''*gasp*'' My vote is for the cells in the table to be identified by the numerical identifier, but not shown visibly and instead used to locate the cell itself in internal links. Then the textual references can be identified by date. So the link would say "Tweet from @StrongBadActual on April 23, 2015" and link to "@StrongBadActual#591293390140153856".--{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 01:29, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
::I think we should do the numerical identifier, but it should be listed on the @StrongBadActual page so it can easily be copy+pasted. Or, maybe a sub-page with all the identifiers. However, since the tweets are showcased in rows, how would it auto-scroll down to the correct tweet? -{{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 01:40, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
:::Well, I hate to say it, but we might have to make it into a vertical list (like the YouTube Thumbnails). That format seems to work better when linking to specific information, whereas a gallery is better when that is not necessary. --{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 01:50, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
::::Would it be too much of a crime to give each tweet his own page? He doesn't update very often, soooooo.... yea or nay, juys? [[User:PsychicRadroach|PsychicRadroach]] 05:08, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
:::::One individual wiki page for each tweet? Yeah that sounds like a serious misdemeanor or maybe even an entry level felony. I think Purple Wrench's suggestion of numbering the tweet (001, 002, etc...) and displaying that numbering would suffice. It actually wouldn't be too difficult to modify the {{tl|tweet}} template to support such a feature via an optional parameter. The template can also automatically build the anchor link so that a tweet can be linked like so: <code><nowiki>[[@StrongBadActual#tw005|some link]]</nowiki></code>. And if typing all that is too much, we can also create a template to automatically link to tweets! That said, it's too late for me to do such changes tonight. Feedback welcome. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 05:35, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
::::::My concern with that, like I said before, is that numbering like "tw005" doesn't allow for potential mistakes to be made. If tw005 should actually be tw006, then tw006, tw007, tw008 etc all have to be changed. If we use a numbering system that doesn't concern itself with order, then no matter what order the tweets are added to this page, they will all be linked correctly. Any mistake will only affect a single tweet, rather than all the tweets before or after it. However, if you think that's not enough of a concern, then it certainly is a viable option. --{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 16:47, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
:::::::Ah! No, no, no. I wasn't suggesting automatic renumbering. I was suggesting full manual numbering. I briefly considered automatic renumbering but rejected the idea for the same reasons that you mention. Instead the template would be used like so: <code><nowiki>{{tweet|idx=001|...}}</nowiki></code> and then it would display "Tweet #001" in the text and create anchor link to #tw001 automagically. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 21:29, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

::I don't think it's actually a gif. The Edgarware animation was likely a gif that got converted to a "gifv" or an mp4 or something like that, so it wasn't terrible to convert it back. But this started out as a video, not a gif.
::My suggestion is, leave a small screenshot of the video and add a description (or transcript, if possible) underneath it. That roughly equates what we do for YouTube videos. --{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 21:47, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
:::Nah; Edgarware and this are all .mp4 but are labelled as .gif's by Twitter. How about making like, a "click here" to redirect to a transcript below? I'd like to see what you mean by this. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 22:20, 28 July 2015 (UTC)

::::Except maybe with a hide/show button for the text. Just a quick sketch of an idea, there. --{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 00:17, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
:::::I'm a bit concerned how this would work with the template; all the boxes are normally the same size. However, this idea of yours makes it longer. {{unsigned|Catjaz63|00:22, 29 July 2015}}
::::::Who are you? ...Oh, Catjaz, sorry, I couldn't tell. Yeah, you're right that it makes the boxes longer. If we put the transcript below, though, it might get unruly, and if we put it on separate pages they might be too short (I'm thinking long-term here). And the show/hide button could be positioned so that it's the same size as every other box until you click on it.
::::::Or, we could switch to a one-column table format, with pictures on the left, the description in the center, and the date on the right. Then the description box could also have a show/hide button for the transcript to appear below the description inside the box, and all of the tweets would still be the same width. Height wouldn't matter anymore. --{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 01:13, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
:::::::I think that's the best idea, honestly. Though, we might need to separate the pages if he begins tweeting a bunch. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 15:56, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
::::::::Again, this is all long-term, but it would probably be sufficient to separate them by year. ''Maybe'' by season if the videos become involved. But this is Twitter we're talking about, so naturally it's likely going to be pretty concise all around. --{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 00:04, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

== Video mirror ==

I think we should make mirror links for the videos, if legal. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 21:24, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
:That could take up a lot of space depending on how frequently they add videos. At the least, though, having thumbnails for the videos might be a good idea. --{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 22:45, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
::I'm just concerned that he'll take down the account and we'll lose the content like with [[ronginald]]. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 00:03, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
:::So the three videos he has now (I'm not counting the gif-videos) take up 5.7MB. That's less than Fish Eye Lens, but it's only about 30 seconds long. For a more drastic comparison, [[crying]] is roughly ''half'' the size of the video where he only quotes the intro from it! (that's 586KB for the sbemail and 1MB for the video)
:::For a user to download a bunch of these videos, all tee really needs is a moderately-sized hard drive and a fast [[SBCG4AP Trailer|Internet-style konnekshun]]. Hosting them on a mirror requires both server costs and the appropriate bandwidth. The wiki has been able to reduce its server costs considerably (and that's why there are no more fundraisers for it), but at the expense of both speed and bandwidth. That's why it practically went down after [[April Fool 2014]] from all the hype.
:::In short, any user who wants to see it saved can take action temmself. I might consider making a [[User:Purple_Wrench/Homestar_Offsite|Homestar Offsite]] page that links to all the videos directly for that purpose. But only if they put up enough videos for it to really make a difference. --{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 00:32, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
::::Ugh I remember that. It was frikken slow. And only a few days ago with Flash is dead! the same thing happened. It's like a datum center bank run. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 21:40, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

== Do we need the Identity section still? ==

The main reason the ''Identity'' section was created in this page was because the legitimacy of the account was still under debate at the time. However, now that we know it's completely official, do we really need it? We could easily super-hyper-condense it into a Fun Fact if we really needed to or just remove it all-together. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 11:38, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
:But we don't know who exactly operates the account. It could be either Matt or Mike (or both) - heck, it could even be {{#switch:{{#rand:1|8}}|1=[[Missy Palmer]]|2=[[Karen Wagner]]|3=[[Jackie Chapman|Jackie]]|4=[[Julie Hand]]|5=[[Donnie Chapman|Donnie]]|6=[[Craig Zobel]]|7=[[Ryan Sterritt]]|8=[[Jonathan Howe]]}}. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 12:13, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
:: I agree with Cat. It seems kind of weird now that we know it's official. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 21:12, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
:::It certainly isn't relevant anymore... but it ''was'' relevant at one time. That seems like reason enough to keep it. After all, no one is getting rid of [[HRWiki:A History]] even though most of it doesn't have any urgent repercussions now. But maybe it should be modified to reflect that ''there was a time people were concerned about who was behind this Twitter account, and we documented the proverbial snot out of it, which you can see here, and now we can all look back and laugh at how obviously it was TBC all along.'' That's the attitude a good knowledgebase should have towards keeping information.
:::Except for that one time when *bzzzzzzzzzzt* CONNECTION TERMINATED --{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 01:20, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

== Retweets ==

How are we going to treat retweets by Strong Bad? Are we going to treat them similarly to replies? - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 11:47, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
:I'd say we list them in a different section. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 04:28, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
::Given from what I've seen so far, it seems like the retweets are recognized fanstuff. The wiki policy on fanstuff is that it isn't allowed unless [[Weekly Fanstuff|recognized on the H*R website]] (this is before Twitter was a thing though). There might be a need for a new wiki policy discussion regarding SB retweets. — [[User:Ngamer01|Ngamer01]] 16:01, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

That should count for something. I digress though. The page is lacking in content.

==Pasta salad==
It sounds like Strong Sad says "pasta salad" there. It's very hard to tell what he's saying right then. I did my best to figure it out though.

==From hockeyJ05?==
Was the email from hockeyJ05 (as Strong Bad read, hockey-jock-man-uh-whatever) before or after this one? 'Cause Strong Sad said "hockeyjock". --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 17:16, Apr 27 2005 (MST)

==Cheat talk==
When Strong Sad is attempting to talk in The Cheat's language (the first time), I've listened about ten times and don't hear anything remotely similar to "Hodododododo!". Sounds more like "Wiggledy-wiggledy-woo!" A minor point, but I'm very gun-shy about editing especially in a case like this. [[User:Crystallina|Crystallina]] 19:40, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=caffeine&diff=254288&oldid=253065 This edit] and a good bit of searching on http://www.urbandictionary.com to either prove or disprove it have got me thinking that when Coach Z says "You was tryin' to jank me," he was [[Coach Z#List of mispronounced words|mispronouncing]] "shank". It seems to fit better in the context of what was happening. [http://jank.urbanup.com/737397 This entry] for "jank" in Urban Dictionary, even though it mentions Coach Z, is very dissimilar to the others, so I think it can pretty much be discounted. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 22:18, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Generally speaking, modern coloquial places the term "shank" as stabbingith a makeshift weapon. "Jank" is more often accepted as "steal/ swindle."

== Another appearance of SS's soolnds? ==

When Strong Sad collapses on the ground after the caffeine wears off, you see the soles of his feet for a split second. There's some debate about what his soles look like in the [[soolnds]] page. I'd like to add to it, but I wasn't quick enough to get a screen cap of that frame.

It's very nitpicky to think there's a difference between saying 'bro' and 'boro'. Strong Bad was just speaking quickly.
also yeah I was having the captcha problem too for like a month. It's better now.

== Strong Bad's Projects at the end of the Email ==

I happened to have noticed at the end, there's a bit of an overlay glitch when viewing Strong Bad's caffeine project and the gasoline project. It's hard to notice unless you observe it frame-by-frame, but you when viewing the gasoline project, you can see the Jalopy picture from the caffeine project behind the fire. Also the gasoline project is overlaid a couple of pixels off over the caffeine project. I've been trying to get pics of these glitches, but I'm having trouble since it's hard to accurately crop individual frames.

The Brothers Chaps' Other Projects

2014-12-08T17:43:14Z

Ngamer01: The latest entry should be marked with a content warning. I don't know if anything else on this page would need to be marked with content warnings.

[[Image:Mellow Mushroom.png|thumb|Notice any similarities to the [[Main Pages]]?]]
[[The Brothers Chaps]] have participated in several '''side projects''' independent of [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]], especially during [[hiatuses]].

==Websites==
*[[Mellow Mushroom]] — [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] and [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] designed this website in 2001 for a chain of [[pizza]] restaurants headquartered in [[Georgia]]. The layout, navigation, and [[sound effects]] are similar to that of Homestar Runner, and the voices of the brothers and [[Missy Palmer]] are very distinctive.
*[[Thorax Corporation]] — The Brothers Chaps, primarily Matt, created this website for a fictional company, and hid a link to the site in one of the [[Fortune Cookies]]. The Thorax Corporation is made up of stereotypical, overly aggressive domain-name owners who offer domain-name registration services while bombarding visitors with popups and ads.
*The Great World of Sound — The Brothers Chaps made [http://www.greatworldofsound.com/ this fake website] to promote the film they produced of the same name (see [[#Film|below]]). [[Forum:10623|According to Craig Zobel]], it was somewhat inspired by the Thorax Corporation website (see [[#Thorax|above]]).
*[[Ron Planet]] — A [http://www.ronplanet.com/ comic strip] written by Matt Chapman and Craig Zobel. Accessible from the Videlectrix site's game gallery, by clicking on the Ron Planet blurb on the [[Duck Guardian 2]] box.
*[http://games.adultswim.com/rick-and-mortys-rushed-licensed-adventure-adventure-online-game.html Rick and Morty's Rushed Licensed Adventure] {{inlinecontentwarning}} — Mike and [[Jonathan Howe]] helped create this ''[[Wikipedia:Rick and Morty|Rick and Morty]]'' [[Flash]] game for the Adult Swim website. Similar to [[Dangeresque Roomisode 1: Behind the Dangerdesque]], it is a retro-styled point-and-click adventure game released in four episodes.

==Television==
*''[[Wikipedia:Sealab 2021|Sealab 2021]]'' — Matt performed two songs in a [[Larry Palaroncini]]-style voice for an episode entitled [http://www.tv.com/sealab-2021/sharkos-machine/episode/380484/summary.html "Sharko's Machine"].

The [[Intro]] gets [[Sbemailiarized!]]

'''Cast (In order of Appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|Homestar Runner}}

'''Locations:''' [[Computer Room]]

'''Computer:''' [[Lappy 486]]

'''Dates:''' Wednesday, April 1, 2009 ''(Replacing Intro)'', Friday, April 3, 2009 ''(Added To Toons Menu)

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

'''Page Title:''' Watch Intro? Come on in.

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Having it out with an email, ''{quickly}'' in the middle of the street in front of some tourists, please don't call the cops.

<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: why oh why?</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
Why is the website called homestarrunner.com and not 
strongbad.com? You are cleary the best character. 
Get with it, 
Darren from Maclaren </blockquote>
''{The word "cleary" is said as written}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And you are cleary NOT an English major, Darren. Good question, though. Let's take a look at Homestar in action.

''{Cut to the Intro}''

'''KIDS:''' ''{background music, continues throughout intro}'' Everybody! Everybody! Everybody! Everybody!

''{A lit version of Homestar Runner, similar to graphics seen on sports scoreboards, runs in place. A smaller version of Homestar runs across the top of the screen, leaving the letters "H O M E S T A R" from left to right, then runs off screen. He re-enters at the bottom right leaving the letters "R U N N E R" from right to left, then runs off the left side of the screen. Appearing slightly larger from the left, he runs across the middle of the screen, causing the words "HOMESTAR" and "RUNNER" to scatter. He leaves his logo behind as he runs. The star from the logo elongates itself into a star-shaped tunnel, alternating in red, white and blue. Homestar then is zoomed upon and stands in front of a blue background with light blue stripes emanating from the center.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{out of sync with the background music}'' Everybody! Lah-dee-dah-dee-dah! ''{background music fades out}'' Everybody! Lah-dee-dah-dee-dah!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' I mean, what the crap was he even saying there? 'Everybody, now bleed a beetle?' No! Ewww. 'Everybody, law deed will be dull.' Uhhhh, no kidding. 'Everybody, something the feed mill?' Yeah, I got no clue why the website's not named after me. ''{quickly}'' Maybe it has something to do with how I forgot to register the domain name and some 12 year old kid beat me to it and is asking in the high six figures for it. ''{slower}'' But that might also be just a hilarious coincidence! ''{sighs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Anyways, enjoy the rest of the website, Darren!

''{The screen darkens and the [[Sbemailiarized Entertainment]] logo zooms in followed by ™ © ® LLC,,. FHM. A note plays as each intellectual property symbol is added. The viewer is then taken to one of the [[Main Pages]].}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*This toon replaced the [[Index Page]] on [[April Fools' Day]], 2009.

===Remarks===
*This was the first April Fools' Day Prank on the website since 2006.
*"strongbad.com" is a domain that has had a history of being [[wikipedia:cybersquatting|cybersquatted]] by advertisers and domain resellers.

===Glitches===
*After the toon, you are sometimes brought to a [[HR:mainNaN.html|broken link]].

===Real-World References===
*At the end, it says "Sbemailiarized Entertainment ™ © ® [[LLC,,.]] FHM". [[Wikipedia:FHM|FHM]] is a men's magazine, similar to how the logo's run of trademarks and logos ended with "Esq." and "GQ" in [[Sbemailiarized!]], also men's magazines.

Ngamer01: Adding a reply and explaning my thoughts about why the Twitter article needs a rename.

== Related discussions ==
There were a few discussions regarding this Twitter account before this page existed. I'll list the only two I could find (which I'm very sure is all of them) here for future reference:
*[[{{movinganchor|HRWiki:Main Page Talk Archive 42|Talk:Main Page|Matt on Twitter}}]] — First mention of the Twitter account on the Homestar Runner Wiki.
*[[File talk:SK-09-09-11.png#Not Sketchbook]] — Regards the legitimacy of the account. This is the first serious discussion regarding the Twitter account.

== Looks like Matt got More Stuff Lined up ==
1) Co-Director of "The Aquabats! Super Show": [[ronginald:status/176111911727931392|here]] and [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2228547/fullcredits here] 
2) Working on Disney's Gravity Falls in some capacity: [[ronginald:status/175445927270694912|here]]

Just figured to note this here even if it's non-H*R related. — [[User:Ngamer01|Ngamer01]] 16:46, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

== Twitter Account gone ==
It appears Matt deleted his Twitter account. Links to it are now dead ends. :(

== Wiki page for sbemail206? ==

I think there needs to be a wiki page about all the holdup and discussion on sbemail206.
:Which says what exactly? The only information we have is "Matt posted a blurry picture of the corner of a computer screen which appeared to have the beginning of a script for sbemail 206 on a now deactivated twitter account". I don't think that's enough content for a page. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 13:09, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
::DeFender: I'm not saying I'm in support of such an article, but what about the fact that once sbemail206 is finally released, it will end the longest Sbemail hiatus (and, if it ends the overall H*R hiatus, that too)? What about what very little we know about what may be in sbemail206 from that picture?
::And last of all, like I said on the main page talk, what will we do with all the Twitter-related stuff on this Wiki? Since the Twitter account no longer exists and does not have a mirror, and that the Wayback Machine has intentionally excluded Twitter from being archived, we kind of sound a bit like we're feeding users false information. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 13:40, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
:::We will keep this page, of course. Are you suggesting that people will think we made it up out of whole cloth? That's just nonsense. Are you trying to make some sense? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:13, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

== Ronginald Remastered! ==

Thanks for pointing that out, it's dot com! (Oh wait, nevermind it was Defender who noticed') As for the speculations, I think his "someday when you least expect it..." Tweet strongly suggests a sort of correlation to homestarrunner. I'd like to point out he tweeted like 6 times within a day or two, which is sort of unusual... I don't know, as you can see from my screenshot, I don't have no twitter. [[File:Ronginaldsnewtweets.jpg|thumb|When I least expect it?| 250 px]] {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 19:39, 26 April 2013 (UTC) I read Ron planet, and all of the tweets are direct quotes except that one, It may however be referring to the strip and not Hr.

== Found old posts? ==

So either everyone knows these exist and they're currently on his twitter page, or I have unearthed some old [http://favstar.fm/users/ronginald twitter posts]. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 22:07, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
:Does anyone know if those ''are'' old posts and not ones we know about? Ronginald tweeted again, "This Lurg worked"... I've read the strip but don't recognize it, can anyone confirm a reference? {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 01:25, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
::What the crap is a Lurg? --[[User:JohnnyLurg|JohnnyLurg]] 04:17, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
:::...says the guy who has "Lurg" in his username. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 04:20, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
:::: HAH! The irony! {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 04:39, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
::::: I'm not ''not'' Ronginald on Twitter. --[[User:JohnnyLurg|JohnnyLurg]] 03:18, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
:Favstar likes to archive old tweets, and I haven't seen any goings on of tweet tampering from there. Assuming new ronginald doesn't make a favstar account, it should stay there long enough for us to at least archive old tweets. [[User:Atarifanatic|Atari]] 21:11, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

Maybe it could be of assistance.

== StrongBadActual on Twitter ==

Somebody had posted elsewhere that there's a [https://twitter.com/StrongBadActual Strong Bad posting on Twitter] and that there is a Craig Zobel following that Twitter account. Now the question is: Is this legitimately a TBC-controlled account or is it more fan works? If this is not fan works, then would we need to update this Twitter article or do something else? — [[User:Ngamer01|Ngamer01]] 16:17, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
:seems pretty legit with the strong bad puppet (which is like ''one of a kind'', right) in the profile picture [[User:SamuelGuy10|SamuelGuy10]] 03:46, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
:: It turned out legitimate and there's now a separate article about Strong Bad's Twitter. — [[User:Ngamer01|Ngamer01]] 00:06, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

== Proposing to Rename This Article to @ronginald ==

Since there is a separate article on Strong Bad's Twitter ([[@StrongBadActual]] which links back to Matt's Twitter article here, there is a new problem in that the article name for "Twitter" should be renamed to "@ronginald" so that a new Twitter article can be made that has info about Twitter and how it relates to H*R and in this new article, there could be see also links to @StrongBadActual and @ronginald. Let me know what you all think. — [[User:Ngamer01|Ngamer01]] 00:06, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The site "[http://www.something.com something.com]" does exist; the site contains nothing but "Something." on the index page. 
*"[http://www.usshomestarrunner.com usshomestarrunner.com]" is a former [[Links#Fan Sites|fansite]].
**"[http://web.archive.org/web/20080127145057/http://www.pride.hofstra.edu/~stolid1/ imabigmoronwhocantrememberhislines.com]" was a fansite, but the domain name was not renewed.
**"[http://homestarrunner.net/ homestarrunner.net]" currently redirects to the Homestar Runner Wiki. It used to host a forum and a fansite network, both of which can been seen at [http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://homestarrunner.net the Internet Wayback Machine].
*The [[Spanish]] dialog that Homestar Runner says translates to "Welcome to Homestarrunner dot com. Do you know Miguel? Yes! We are good friends!" It is the kind of phrase one would see in an introductory Spanish textbook.
*Homestar Runner wears a randomly selected costume in Take 25, including:
**[[Naked Homestar Runner|Naked]] (pixelated)
**Witch
**Sailor
**Clown

===Remarks===
*The [[Wikipedia:Clapper loader|Clapper Loader]] may [[Lack of Visible Arms|lack visible arms]] because the clapperboard appears to operate without anyone holding it.
*When Homestar talks in Spanish, his [[Homestar Runner Without His Speech Impediment|speech impediment]] is much lighter. For example, when he says, "homestarrunner.com", he does so without a problem.
*In the same take, "Miguel" may be referencing [[Mike Chapman]], considering Miguel is the Spanish equivalent of Michael.
*By the time they get to take 126, the clapperboard states that they are on roll 11. Assuming that they are filming with standard 1000-ft, 35mm rolls, which average about ten minutes of footage per roll, by this point they would have been trying to film scene one for nearly two hours. This makes sense because it is take 126, and each take would probably be a minute or less.
*Homestar's shirt contains the earlier design color.
*At the very end of the toon there are 21 extra frames that don't do anything.

===Goofs===
*When "Its dot com" appears on the screen, it contains a punctuation error: It should be "It's dot com" because "It's" is a contraction of "It is".

===Inside References===
*The format of this cartoon is very similar to [[Fluffy Puff Commercial]], where Cherry Greg also has problems getting Homestar to read his lines correctly.
*This is another instance of [[Homestar Runner peeking]].

In 2009, it was replaced with [[April Fool 09]], which took the [[Intro]] and [[Sbemailiarized Entertainment|retroactively changed it into a Strong Bad email]]. In 2010, it was replaced with [[Xeriouxly Forxe]]. In 2014, it was replaced with [[April Fools' 2014]], which has continued to replace it for the past {{monthssince|April 1, 2014}} months.

On January 13, 2008, the regular intro page was replaced with a picture of [[Trogdor]] in the shape of a ''5'' to celebrate Trogdor's fifth birthday. It was later changed back on January 21, 2008.

Clicking "come on in" will only take you to one of the older Main Pages ''(1 through 20)''. However, on the Trogdor index page, the other main pages were added.

Between January 21 and March 31, 2010, the index page featured a "shop our store" link. The link was removed and the original index page was restored on April 2, 2010.

'''Page Title:''' Everybody! Everybody!

Strong Bad's Computers Surpassing Their Assumed Capabilities

2014-04-04T20:31:39Z

Ngamer01: I think the rename banner is no longer needed going off the talk page discussion, though I understand it could be put back if someone else feels this needs a different commando name.

{{tbd}}

Despite [[Strong Bad]]'s [[Strong Bad's Technology|preference for older computers]], his computers are nevertheless somehow capable of '''performing tasks that their real-life counterparts are not'''.

==Appearances==
*Almost all [[Strong Bad Email]]s — The program that Strong Bad used to check his emails before he got the [[Compé]] is called "strongbad_email.exe" ("strongbad's_email" on the [[Tandy 400]]), even though filenames on DOS computers can only be up to eight characters long. Also, in the Tandy's case, the filename contains an apostrophe, which is not allowed in DOS filenames.

=== [[Tandy 400]] ===
*[[homestar hair]]:
**The [[Tandy 400]] displays a [[Hairstyle Runner]].
**The file used to run [[wikipedia:Temple of Apshai|Temple of Apshai]] is the long name "temple_of_apshai".
**Temple of Apshai is in colour.
*[[credit card]] — Strong Bad somehow uses a mouse on the Tandy 400.
*[[sugarbob]] — The Tandy 400 plays Mac OS X-style sounds and displays full-colour fonts.
*[[sisters]] — The Tandy 400 plays the Windows 9x "ding" [[Sound Effects|sound]].

=== [[Compy 386]] ===
*[[website]] — The Compy 386 plays several animated GIFs and displays two full-quality photos.
*[[marzipan]] — The Message Thyme pop-ups are in Windows style.
*[[huttah!]] — [[take-a-break.exe]]'s long filename.
*[[interview]] and [[pizzazz]] — The Compy 386 displays a Gothic font.
*[[autobiography]] —
**The spell-checking program is known as the long name "spellchecka.exe".
**The Compy 386 plays the Windows 9x "ding" sound.
**The printing program is known as the long name "print_of_it.exe".
*[[big white face]] —
**The file used to open the picture of [[The Poopsmith]] is called "mr.smith", even though full stops are not allowed in DOS filenames except when adding extensions.
**The Compy 386 has a Macintosh-style GUI, which cannot possibly be installed on a DOS computer.
**The file used to run the Macintosh GUI is called "[[b/w]]", even though slashes are not allowed in DOS filenames.
*[[mascot]] — The file used to play the [[Crazy Go Nuts University]] fight song is known as the long name "fightsong".
*[[privileges]] — The file containing a list of Medallion Gold Plus Club Member privileges is known as the long name "medalliongoldplus.txt".
*[[date]] — The file used to run the [[Extra Real Dating Sim XR]] is known as the long name "hsramerdsxr.exe". 
*[[couch patch]] - Strong Bad tries out several bogus commands, all of which are too long, and several of which have different faults:
**"print out million dollar bill.exe"
**"no for real, print me out a million dollar bill, man.exe" (Contains commas, which are disallowed in DOS filenames)
**"um, this time really print me out a million dollars bill.nofoolin'" (Contains a comma. Also, the extension is not only too long [DOS filename extensions can only be up to 3 characters long], but contains an apostrophe)
**"make homestar's head explode.exe" (Too long and contains an apostrophe)
**"print out million dollar bill, please.exe" (This one actually works despite its length and the fact that it contains a comma)
*[[lunch special]] — The Compy once again plays the "ding" sound, and also displays a Microsoft Paint drawing.
*[[other days]] — The program used to check Eastern European emails on the [[Block]] is known as the long name "polish_email.exe".
*[[virus]] —
**The file used to run the [[Edgar|virus scanner]] is known as the long name "Edgarware.exe".
**The Compy gets many more [[The Virus|viruses]] than could possibly fit on a computer of its kind.
**The Compy yet again plays the "ding" sound.

=== [[Lappy 486]] ===
*[[death metal]] — The Lappy 486 is used to video chat with [[Larry Palaroncini]] on webcam.
*[[technology]] — The file used to run the screen saver is known as the long name "screen_savior.exe".
*[[the movies]] — The file used to run [[Karate Car]] is known as the long name "karatecar.exe".
*[[SBCG4AP Advertisement]] — A 3D video game is started with the long name "strongbad3Dtotal.wad".
*[[being mean]] — The files used to open up additional emails from a certain email address are known as the long names "other_gems.exe" and "more_other_gems.exe".

==Variations==
*[[flashback]] — The Compy 386 shows the email from [[some kinda robot]] in Tandy 400 style.

== So this may need a rename ==
The "speculations" thing is a reference to [[animal]] and I’d like to keep it if possible, though it is a bit awkward the way it appears now. Any suggestions? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 13:31, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
: I don't think we should be putting silly references to sbemails in our article names. This is especially true given that this article does not mention the email that the reference comes from ''at all''. It would be confusing to new readers, and doesn't look terribly professional. Sure, this is a Wiki about a cartoon full of dumb animal characters, but sometimes we need to draw the line at the silliness. So '''specifications''' all the way. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:13, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
::I agree with Jay. We know where the reference comes from, but I don't think references make good page titles. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.4.6|132.183.4.6]] 19:34, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
:::Fair point... we do on occasion, but where it fits. Let me ask a different way, we don't actually have a list of technical specifications for the computers. It really IS kinda speculation about the capabilities of the computers, albeit based on their real-world equivalents. That said, i don't think that "Strong Bad's Computer Exceeding Its Technical Specifications" is the way to go either. (Not still set on keeping "speculation" in the title, just saying the proposed alternative isn't correct either.) I also think that since it's about multiple computers, the title should be pluralized. I'm thinking that it needs a concise form of "Strong Bad's computers doing more than it seems they should be able to". Maybe like "'''Strong Bad's Computers Surpassing Their Assumed Capabilities'''"? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:47, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
::::That's good, Defender. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 17:08, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
:::::It's not that I'm saying DeFender's suggestion is bad or anything - not at all - but you shouldn't move a page that has active discussion and no consensus. (No, this is not hypocrisy. When I moved the page, there was no discussion, active or otherwise. I believed that the current title (with "speculations") was a ''mistake'', not a deliberate reference!) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:26, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
::::::Agreed on all counts. I too saw the move as premature, despite even that it was a move to the name I suggested. All in good time. Jay, you're not saying my suggestion is bad, but you didn't give any input as to whether it's ''good'' either. Cause it'd be nice to get consensus closed on this one. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:38, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
:::::::It's good enough that I think it would be perfectly fine if the name was changed to your suggestion. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:18, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
::::::::Done. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 03:06, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

==Delete this thing==
I'm surprised that no one has commented on the triviality (is that even a word?) of this page. As well as which instances technically (no pun intended) count. I created the page just for fun, and now I think that it should be '''deleted'''. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 21:46, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
:I disagree. I think it's interesting to note all the instances of this type of thing in one place. We occasionally remark on it on toon pages themselves, so why not also '''keep''' a page to make is easy to see all instances at once? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 12:52, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

== Compy 386 Having a Microphone ==

I'm not familiar with older computers, but did computers of old have microphones? I ask because April Fools' 2014 has shown the Compy 386 having a slide-out microphone built into the monitor. — [[User:Ngamer01|Ngamer01]] 20:29, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

King of Town Main Page

2014-04-04T20:03:20Z

Ngamer01: /* Remarks */ The domain expired, so I rewrote the last addition to the page.

{{othermainnav|mainking|Luau|Strong Bad}}
[[Image:kingmain.PNG|thumb|right|220px|kingoftown.com!!]]

To find the '''King of Town Main Page''' go to [[The King of Town DVD]] and click on the mustache on the coat of arms. The shield will swing back and you can click on the brick that's behind it. This brings you to the The King of Town main page. There are only four buttons, each bearing a singular label ("toon", "game", etc.), unlike the typical [[singular instead of plural|plural]] labels.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|The King of Town}}, [[The King of Town's Sheep]], [[Multi-Function Dragon]], [[Atari Dragon]], [[The S is for Sucks Dragon]], {{Film|The Hornblower}}

'''Date:''' Tuesday, April 1, 2003

'''Page Title:''' kingoftown.com!!

==Button Effects==
*'''Toon''' — Brings you back to the "DVD" menu. Mouse-over effect: The Multi-Function Dragon appears behind the mountains.
*'''Game''' — The game is [[Revenge of the King]]. Mouse-over effect: The Atari Dragon appears behind the mountains.
*'''Download''' — Brings up a [[404'd]] page (nonexistent "kingpaper.html"). Mouse-over effect: [[The S is for Sucks Dragon]] appears behind the mountains.
*'''E-mail''' — Goes to the toon [[King of Town Email]]. Mouse-over effect: The Hornblower appears in the field and plays.

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*This was the main menu page for April Fools Day of 2003, complete with a [[King of Town Intro]].
===Remarks===
*The original Download button linked to a [[HR:kot.jpg|King of Town Logo image]] captioned with "Tile it on your desktop."
*The normal H*R logo (the [[Museum]] button) is replaced with a KOT logo. The King of Town says "The K.O.T.!" when you scroll over the icon.
*There are no buttons that correspond to the normal [[Character Videos|Characters]] and [[Store]] buttons.
*The URL in the page title, "kingoftown.com", reportedly used to lead to this page, but now the domain has expired.

Ngamer01: /* Remarks */ Added an exclamation mark to Yahoo! since that's the company's name.

[[Image:downloadpage.PNG|thumb|Please enter your PIN# for assistance.]]
The current '''Downloads''' page is an [[ATM]]-themed source for official Homestar Runner things:
*[[Downloadable Icons]]
*[[Wallpaper]]
*[[Songs]]
*[[Strong Bad Clock]]
*[[Quotes Packs]]
*[[System Sounds]]

'''Page Title:''' $2.00 Service Charge!!

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:lemcard.PNG|thumb|right|100px|Secure card it is not]]
*Clicking on the "$" button brings up ''Current balance is 0.00 dollars.'' Clicking on "0.00" will bring up a draggable [[Credit Cards|credit card]]  (registered to [[Lem Sportsinterviews]]). Clicking on the upper left corner of that card will reveal the backside of it, as well as the PIN. Inserting the card, then entering the PIN (5675) will unlock a secret section of [[Homsar]] Quotes Pack.
**Or, if you set the screen forward as if you were going frame by frame, you don't need the pin or to click on the 0.00.
*In the songs list, clicking on the names of [[The Skate Party]], [[DaVinci's Notebook]], and [[They Might Be Giants]] takes you to their respective websites.

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*If you type in the wrong PIN, the text reads, "Wrong Pin#!! I bet you stole this card!"
*The reflection on the screen of the ATM is the same as the [[Corpy NT6]] email menu.
*The back of Lem's card reads:
<blockquote>
{| class=wikitable style="text-align:center;"
|
This is a magnificent card. 
Superfied Credit Union is 
THE NAME in magnificence. 
Of crads, at least. I mean cards. 
PIN#:5675
|}
</blockquote>
*There is also another version of the downloads page, available at [[HR:downloads.html|downloads.html]]. There is a white border around the ATM, the ATM is smaller, and the Strong Bad clock link leads to the first set of Homestar desktop icons.
===Remarks===
*The "NEW!" sign has remained on the Graphics Menu button since shortly after the email "[[army]]" (January 7, 2004).
*The phrase "PIN#" is an example of [[Wikipedia:RAS syndrome|RAS syndrome]], due to the "N" already standing for "Number".
*The "exit" button links to only [[Main Page 7]].
*If you click on The Skate Party, it will bring you to a GeoCities site, which is no longer available. This is because Yahoo! shut down GeoCities worldwide (except in Japan).

===Inside References===
*The PIN for the ATM is the first four digits of [[Homestar Runner]]'s account mentioned in the email "[[credit card]]." The [[Superfied Credit Union]] is also from "credit card."

Apparently, this "one-off character" has his own comic strip now. Since we have a page on [[Mellow Mushroom]], which is unrelated to the [[Homestar Runner (universe)|H*R universe]] as well, should we have an article for the comic strip? --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 02:29, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
:Actually, I agree. I did not know of this web comic until a month ago, but I realize it was regularly updated for a while. Seeing how it is obscure, we should really get an article on it. Both a Chapman and Zobel made it, so why not have it? It can't hurt.--[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] [[User talk:Jellote|wuz]] [[Special:Contributions/Jellote|here]] 03:27, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
::In fact, I think that Ron is ''more'' deserving of an article than [[Mellow Mushroom]], because it's frequently updated by Matt and Craig. It could list the characters, and the main plot. Not go into very deep detail about it, just the general overview. {{User:StrongAwesome74/sig}} 03:38, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
:::I disagree. Since you brought up MM, please read [[Talk:Mellow Mushroom#Deletion]]. As you can see, the main argument for keeping it, is that importance it had ''in relation to Homestar Runner''. The voices, the references, and so on. While being very funny in itself, Ron Planet doesn't bear any similarities to Homestar, as far as I can see. In the last comic there's a reference [[:File:sbemail51.png|Mable]] in the commentary, which ''might'' count, but it's a stretch. If you can find more references to our wiki's topic, then an article about Ron Planet will look more promising. Remember: We're a HRWiki, not TBCWiki. {{User:Elcool/sig}} 06:18, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
::::As Elcool says, we're not TBCWiki, I agree with Elcool. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 07:27, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::I think it is related. The main character is from Homestar Runner, so that's got to count for something. Plus, it looks like this is the source for Italian Space jokes in comic 014. And 017 is in the style of [[Teen Girl Squad]]. And 019 is a parallel with Homestar's line in [[Weclome Back]]. There seem to be tons of Homestar related in-jokes.--[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] [[User talk:Jellote|wuz]] [[Special:Contributions/Jellote|here]] 13:02, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
::::::I agree. Ron Planet is part of the Homestar Runner universe, and now that we have something to say about him this page deserves to be an article and not just a redirect. We don't have to go overboard; the article doesn't have to be overly detailed or anything, but it should be an article. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:09, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::::I still don't think it's part of the Homestar Runner universe, but after re-reading some of the comics, I can see the influences. Everything is kind of a stretch, and I could argue that it's TBC's "style", but that should be discussed after an actual page is made. I'm still not convinced there should be a page about the this comic yet, but I'm willing to go along with it and see how it goes. {{User:Elcool/sig}} 07:27, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

== Should we count the strips? ==

While a number of comics is something that would be interesting to have on this page, should we really update the page each and every time there's a new strip added? Keep in mind that the authors are fairly actively making new strips (there's been three new strips in the past week or so), so a running tally would probably get a little annoying to keep track of after a while. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 04:01, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
:I agree. How about noting that as of <date of strip 40> there are more then 40 strips? Then we'd only have to update the article only once in a while on any benchmark update. {{User:Elcool/sig}} 07:21, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

== Twitter Mystery ==

a little less than a year ago, the @ronginald twitter (https://twitter.com/ronginald), which iirc is officially associated with the comic, tweeted some quotes... most of which are from the comic.

-uncertain. googling "this lurg worked" turns up the tumblr page of danny saucedo (http://dsaucedo.tumblr.com/tagged/this-lurg-worked) '''(language warning)''', who has tagged several posts with the phrase as far back as april 28 2012, just under a year before this tweet was made. most posts tagged "this lurg worked" are also tagged with "johnny lurg," which likely refers to "the infamous johnny lurg," whose youtube page features several songs credited to danny saucedo, indicating that they may work together or even be the same person. (https://www.youtube.com/user/ruttheimer). more information about johnny lurg is found here http://popeyesquirm.com/2012/03/02/who-is-johnny-lurg/ '''(language warning)''' including several aliases (one of which is 'popeye squirm-- could this be his webpage?) and mention of "knowledge from Homestar Runner[.]" significance of all of this is unknown.

is this a code of some kind? the numbers 49 35 19 33 32 44-- the numbers of the ron planet strips quoted-- could they mean anything? is there any significance to the end of april-- when much of this content was posted in the past couple years? input is appreciated --[[Special:Contributions/162.211.35.226|162.211.35.226]] 10:31, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
:Sorry to burst your bubble, but after Matt Chapman deleted his ronginald account on [[Twitter]], a fan took the handle over. All those quotes were posted to Twitter by said fan. Though I do take issue with this fan trying to take credit for the April Fools' 2014 toon due to people mistakenly believing that handle was being ran by Matt Chapman when he isn't on Twitter anymore. — [[User:Ngamer01|Ngamer01]] 19:40, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Computer Room

2014-04-04T19:19:12Z

Ngamer01: Oops. Forgot to add the April Fools' 2014 entry to the appearances list. It's there now.

[[Image:ComputerRoomFull.PNG|thumb|From [[flashback]], [[pop-up]], [[cheat talk]] and [[monument]]]]

The '''computer room''' is where [[Strong Bad]] answers most of his [[Strong Bad Email|emails]]. It contains his current computer — the [[Compé]] — and the [[Stooly|stool]] he sits on. The desk appears to be some way from the wall as shown in most emails by the computer's shadow. Under the table is a power outlet where previous computers were plugged in, as well as an [[extra plug]] for additional electronics. Strong Bad once tried plugging a pair of [['Lectric Boots]] into this outlet, which consequently caused a power outage.

Strong Bad answered emails here until [[hremail3184]], when he deliberately [[Explosions|blew up]] the [[Lappy 486]], but he answered four emails elsewhere ([[the bird]], [[weird dream]], [[part-time job]], and [[from work]]). Strong Bad answered [[imaginary]] on the [[Corpy NT6]] in [[Basement of the Brothers Strong|his basement]], then went back to answering emails in the computer room when he got the Compé in [[Compy Catalog]]. Strong Bad still used Stooly while in his basement. Strong Bad used to have a [[floppy disk container]] on his computer desk up until he blew up the Lappy 486, though the container has since [[April Fools' 2014|reappeared]] along with the [[Compy 386]].

On the far right side of the room, there is a window with an old sycamore tree outside. When the branches rub the window, they seem to say "[[Douglas]]". In [[pop-up]], the ceiling of the computer room is shown to have recessed lighting, a fact which was previously stated in [[different town]]. Another custom feature of this room is the [[The Cheat's Lightswitch|special light switch]] set just the right height for [[The Cheat]]. Strangely, the area beneath the light switches has no carpet. [[Mike Chapman]] makes fun of this oversight in the DVD commentary for [[techno]], saying, "The Strong house has problems."

[[Strong Sad]] turned this room into his [[Wikipedia:Tai Chi Chuan|Tai Chi]] space while [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|Strong Bad was in jail]]. Also, in [[no loafing]], a picture of the computer room from [[1987]] is shown. The room sported an orange carpet and tacky wallpaper featuring pears and flowers. The wallpaper has since been stripped down and the walls painted blue, but the carpet remains, though it is now faded and unkempt. Also, as shown in the pictures above and to the right, some of it has apparently been removed from the room.

The [[No Loafing sign]] hangs on the wall above the table, but it occasionally moves to different places on the wall. In most emails, it was shown to be to the right of the computer, while in [[no loafing]], it was shown to be to the far left. After the [[Tandy 400]]'s explosion in [[gimmicks]], Strong Bad passes 3 windows and 4 doors in midair, before crashing into [[Strong Sad's room]]. However, in [[little animal]], [[Strong Mad]] chases Strong bad in a circle, and only one door and one window are seen.

In [[montage]], the montage about The Cheat and the [[Wagon Fulla Pancakes]] shows the two in a room with the same walls and carpet as the computer room. In this shot, a window and door are visible and the wagon is sitting in a green recliner with a footrest. It is a bit confusing, though, where the door is. In some Strong Bad Emails, such as [[email thunder]], the door is on the right. But in some other emails, as well as [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]], the door is on the left.

The Computer Room's [[Old-Timey]] counterpart is [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]]'s [[Telegraph Room]].

Computer Room

Ngamer01: Well the floppy disk container has returned with the Compy 386. I don't know if the page needs reorganizing regardless if this is just a brief one-shot reappearance or not.

==Fan music video==
Does anyone know where I can find that fan music video for Strong Sad's line? I always liked it. --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 04:20, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

:I know where you can find it. It's called "Strong Bad Rocks Out" by [[The Skate Party]]. You can listen to it (or download it) using a link on my forum. Here's the URL: [http://www.strongfans.com/portal/show_entry.asp?TYP=2&EntryID=169] Enjoy! {{User:The Paper/sig}} 14:43, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

It was changed to 'Who Said What Now?' in early 2007."'' And moreover, why is the page protected now? — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 17:27, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
:::::::It's highly likely Mattel, who made the toy the old game made fun of, tried to sue them. That's why the page is locked with no mention of the original name. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 17:30, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Somehow I ended up logged out, and when I noticed this page on RecentChanges, I noticed it was locked. The only explanation given is that it was "at the request of [[Karen Wagner]]"... I suppose, looking at the above comments, I might have a guess why it was locked (copyright issues?), but that said, how accurate is my guess?

The line ''The game is a parody of Mattel's "See 'n Say."'' should, I think, instead of linking to Mattel's wiki entry, should more appropriately link to the [[Wikipedia:See 'n Say|See 'n Say]] page. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 11:41, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
:Done. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 12:17, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
::Cool, thanks! Also, I don't mean to be knit picker, but I was hoping that the Mattel link would go away or look a bit better, since having the word be half link/half text doesn't look as pleasing as if it looked like: [[Wikipedia:Mattel|Mattel's]]. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 05:24, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

:::::But don't. The link is to the noun, not the possessive, and shouldn't be linked as though it were. Also, we should avoid piped links when possible. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:10, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, you're doing a damn good job of erasing The Game That Apparently Must Not Be Named from history, let me say. I came across this page and thought, "Ah, it's been changed", but then found no reference to [that game]. I know how obsessive you fanboys are at documenting every little thing about Homestar Runner, so I frantically searched for any reference at all to [that game] on the wiki, but found none, and thought to myself, "Have I gone mad? Did I just imagine [that game]? Why on earth isn't there a reference to it?" Nothing made sense until I found this talk page, from which the situation can be inferred.

Pandering to the dictates of the Chaps aside, I don't see why there shouldn't be a reference to it on this site. It isn't affiliated to homestarrunner.com, so there can't be any ramifications, can there? Well, there's my bit. Thanks for causing so much confusion. --[[User:84.67.250.92|84.67.250.92]] 22:16, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
:Hey, no problem. Unfortunately, it's not going to change anytime soon, at least not until the dust finally settles. You may think we're pandering fanboys—and that's fine, you can think that if you want—but really we're being respectful of them and their request. Also, I think it shows poor discretion if one's bottom line in making decisions is "Meh, what's the worst that can happen?". In cases like that, it's almost always better not to find out. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:58, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

:::::If I may chip in my thoughts on this, to avoid confusion (i.e. the aformentioned "Kidelectrix predates Videlectrix!?!" thing), whenever it is deemed we can edit this again, we could simply say "This game is an edited version of an older game, with Homsar's quote and the Kidelectrix name added" or something--we can be ambiguous and not say anything about the older game's content, just say that this one is a new version of an older game.

== About a Fun Fact ==

I don't like the word "parody". Please change the text "This game is a '''parody''' of Mattel's See 'n' Say" to something else. Thank you. Remember: YOU made me hate this word. {{unsigned|76.184.188.124|17:32, 8 March 2007 (UTC)}}
:Look for a second at the [[ahd:61/94/P0079400.html|definition]] of the word, the relevant part of which I will highlight here: "An artistic work that imitates the characteristic style of another work for comic effect." That is ''exactly'' what this game is. But never mind that. TBC, via their representative, ''specifically'' asked us to use that word. It stays. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:00, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Just something I'd thought I'd say, the cowbell at the end of Strong Bad's line is muted.

== Stuff To Add ==

*Include a link in Marzipan's quote to [[The Only Girl]]. Thank you for your time. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 05:40, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

:The first one would fit better on [[Handheld Games Menu]] than on this page, I think. As for the second one, we usually don't link characters' speech in transcripts.

I used to work for a software company that published large clip art collections. The collections were so large, and the sources so varied (and many overseas) that it was inevitable that now and then something would creep in that infringed on somebody else's rights. A little education: This was almost always a ''trademark'' infringement, not a ''copyright'' infringement. They are two very different things which you can research on your own time. Possibly relevant here is that trademarks are much more nebulous, and determining trademark infringement can often be very subjective and depend on what a judge had for breakfast.

When this happened, and it bothered the owner of a trademark, we would usually get a "cease and desist" letter asking nicely if we could either remove or alter the offending images. Part of my job was keeping track of who had contacted us, the details of what they thought infringed, and what images probably bothered them. That second part could be very, ''very'' nitpicky, such as Carnival Cruises claiming that putting little "wings" on the sides of a ship's smokestack infringed on their marks, or Dairy Queen claiming that a soft serve cone became a trademark Dairy Queen cone the moment the ice cream had a curl at the top. (And don't get me started on the Red Cross.)

Always, to my knowledge, these issues were resolved after one or two letters from the owner and some annoying editing work on our part. Never litigation. However, the threat was always there. If we missed a few generic cars that looked a little too much like Beetles in our many thousands of car images, and Volkswagen felt like being jerks about it, they could easily have dragged us into court and gotten a nice chunk of damages out of our revenue.

If a proceeding like that took place, the plaintiffs would be able to subpoena any of our internal documents and records that they could convince a judge were at all pertinent to the suit. My emails to my supervisor, for example. Of course, if there were documents ''outside'' our company that were also pertinent, they could subpoena those too. Like if some fan website had user posts pointing out that "Car 236 looks just like a '63 Beetle convertible!" Due to the very nature of trademarks, that's actually a particularly damning piece of evidence, because it proves that at least one member of the consuming public associated the non-Volkswagen-created image with Volkswagen. Unlike copyrights, perception is often more important than intent in determining trademark infringement, which is what makes it so scary. Get enough of that to indicate consensus, and you've basically lost any possibility of arguing that there's no infringement.

For these reasons, the company lawyer was a paranoid ogre about what we could and could not say in writing about these issues. If I had to email someone to discuss a specific complaint or possible infringement, I had to use codewords. ("Do you think the fenders on that, um, banana are too round?") When you're a defendant, less paper trail is always better. No matter how innocent you may think it is. You don't want the plaintiff to have ''anything'' they can hold up and say, "Here's the proof they knew there was a specific problem, and yet here it still is in their next release."

Hope that helps anyone understand anything. I can tell you I found it confusing and irritating until I got used to it myself.

::With all that in mind, it really makes me wonder why HRWiki insists on hosting the old round-fendered banana menu which actually has the trademarked phrase spelled out right in it. Without leaving any paper trail, I'll just say: I'm looking right at the offending text in a Flash file hosted on hrwiki.org right now. Someone took the trouble to prevent that menu from continuing to link to the copy of the offending Handheld Game which inexplicably still lives on www.homestarrunner.com, but, that wasa half-measure at best. Naturally, hrwiki has no control over what www.homestarrunner.com still has "hidden" on their webhost. But hrwiki.org is making an awful lot of noise that sounds like "We can NOT say any of that!" while serving the exact thing that everybody says can't be said. [[User:198.49.180.40|198.49.180.40]] 00:01, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
:::The old name is not a secret. It's Spin 'n Say. It's mentioned several times on this page. The old Flash file reflects the fact that the game used to have a different name. Big deal. We don't point to the old file of the game, nor do we give instructions on how to find it; thus, it's concealed from the general public ''enough'' not to worry about, even if technically it can be found if one knows exactly where to look. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:23, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

::::Right. Another point to keep in mind about trademarks is that the watchdogs in the big corporate legal departments bark ''a lot'', but actual bites are not as common. The barking is due to another little quirk of trademark law, which is that you can actually lose the exclusive right to your trademark—even a registered one—by not using it or not defending it against infringement. A trademark isn't the sort of thing you either have or you don't. It can be strong or weak, and have varying amounts of influence beyond its typical market, depending mostly upon how well-recognized and well-associated it is. Ignoring misuses of your trademark can lead to it being "watered down". Any marketing exec will tell you that strong brand recognition is one of the most important factors in commercial success, so this is why owners of brand names that are under constant threat of being "genericized", like Kleenex and Band-Aid, go so far as to take out ads in writers' trade magazines, educating the readers that these are in fact registered trademarks and not words to be thrown around willy-nilly, thank you very much.

::::So C & D letters are a dime a dozen. You'd be a fool to ignore one, but unless your infringement is truly egregious, your chances of being sued are slim for a variety of reasons. Lawsuits are outrageously expensive and very unpredictable; most owners won't take that gamble unless there's a lot at stake. A lot more than a silly little web toon, for example. Another reason is that suits against offenders who aren't visibly turning a profit off the infringement have a tendency to backfire in a publicity sense. A good example is the [[Wikipedia:Emblems of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement#Johnson & Johnson's lawsuit against the American Red Cross about the emblem|recent suit]] that Johnson & Johnson filed against the American Red Cross over the use of their logo on first aid kits. Of course it will be hard for J & J not to look like a bad guy in that, but ironically, as I hinted above, the Red Cross was one of the firms that had sent my company letters. (And by far the biggest pain in the twees to comply with. Those freakin' crosses were ''everywhere''!) I hear their C & D factory is rather busy in general.

::::So to actually attempt to relate this to the matter at hand, I would ''guess'' that Mattel has no intention of taking Harmless Junk to court, and no particular interest in actually obliterating the original game. They get to satisfy the motions they have to go through, and do it quietly, if it's just removed from general public view and replaced with a new version with minimal fuss.
::::--[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 03:31, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

:::::Another thing to note about why this might be any kind of deal re: trademarks: the reason any company will do this over a trademark is because unlike copyrights, a trademark is only as good as the effort you put into defending it. If for some reason, someone else started using that trademarked name and Mattel had taken them to court, they could point to the game here and say "Look, these guys didn't care enough about their trademark to enforce it here, so they have given up rights to claim it," and there's a chance a judge would agree. So, simply to cover ''their'' butts as well, Mattel's gotta take care of their own business on this. It's the reason that Kleenex and Xerox make such a fuss about their names becoming genericized, because if they let such things go without challenge they could lose the ability to defend their trademarks against someone making a more serious effort to infringe on their trademark.--[[User:Big Dog|Big Dog]] 06:37, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::Didn't even realized you'd already covered that. That will teach me to skim talk pages.--[[User:Big Dog|Big Dog]] 06:37, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::Here's two counterargument to all of this: Spin n' Say was a ''parody.'' Last I checked, ''parodies'' have ALWAYS been defended as fair use. Secondly, if I recall, there was an episode of Family Guy which had a parody of the same toy. If they didn't get sued, well, then I'm skeptical about what the intent truly is. You see, Family Guy is produced by a Hollywood company which is much more powerful and has very good (in skill, not as in good guys) lawyers and a large staff, whereas H*R is produced by all of five people and is produced independently, and thus Harmless Junk probably doesn't have very good lawyers. And if the TBC wanted to avoid a trademark suit, they could state "we're not affiliated with Mattel" or something like that so as to not confuse people. If you weren't allowed to talk about something in your creative works that's already been copyrighted or trademarked, it would violate free speech, which in my opinion is a much more important right than copyright. The only lesson we can learn from all this is that the world is run by people with a lot of money and very few morals. --[[User:Crazyswordsman|Crazyswordsman]] 02:47, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

== It's been 2 years!!! ==

It's been 4 years since Karen Wagner asked the admins to protect this page and all other pages mentioning the toy.

Okay, I get that we don't know whether it has been resolved or not. It would cause all types of edit wars that only a well experienced admin has seen. But WHY are we so compact that we shouldn't note the change on the article's page. A major rewrite and name change certainly are notable. Why don't we just say something along the lines of "Due to legal issues, the game was remade about 2007. It used to be named Spin 'n Say, and was in the shape of one". Really, there is no harm in mentioning the change, right? We can just leave it at that. We don't need to unlock it, just acknowledge the change. Unless there is a reason.

== Look, I know we can't speak of the Forbidden version, but... ==

...could we put in Real World References something like:

"The way the quotes are phrased is akin to Mattel's 'See 'n' Say' toy."

You know, something to insinuate the original game without actually linking to it. *wink wink, nudge nudge*

Because I think there should be at least some sign that it's related to the Speak 'n' Say, even if we can't say what it is directly. Not everyone reads the Discussions.

:::It may be fair use as a parody, but think about the costs TBC (and this wiki's staff) would suffer if they all had to fight this in court to prove this is a lawful parody/fair use. Also consider the DMCA and how cutthroat some corporations can be. Even if TBC and the wiki could win, the one that DMCA/embargo'd the parody could stall for time and bankrupt TBC and this wiki just on legal costs alone and plus the H*R site and wiki could be at risk to be legally taken down in their entirety. TBC and this wiki lose either way so they complied with the DMCA/embargo orders. Also consider TBC's work with Hollywood these days. Their career could have ended if they had a DMCA court-case dragging on them before the last baby hiatus (before the Hollywood hiatus kicked in). — [[User:Ngamer01|Ngamer01]] 16:53, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*Strong Sad's costume in the Catacombs is a [[wikipedia:Motion capture#Optical: Passive Markers|passive optical marker motion capture suit]], or at least an approximation of one. It is similar to the "motion capture suit" worn by [[Matt Chapman]] in [[Sample Of Style Too]].
*Dangeresque Too's answer when asked about the trinket ("The doctor is his MOTHER!") is the solution to a [[wikipedia:Situation puzzle|lateral-thinking conundrum]]. The conundrum goes "a boy and his father stalled their car on a set of train tracks. A train hit the car, killing the father and wounding the boy. When the boy was taken to the hospital, the doctor on duty exclaimed "I can't operate on this boy, he's my son!" How can this be?"
*A "romcom" is a [[wikipedia:Romantic comedy|romantic comedy]].
*[[Billy Dee Williams]] is an American actor best known for playing Lando Calrissian in Star Wars.
** He is also Homestar's "[[secret identity]]".
*"Post", mentioned when Dangeresque first meets the monster in the catacombs, refers to [[wikipedia:Post-production|post-production]].
*Pick-ups are minor shots filmed during post-production in order to augment footage already filmed.
*The Irish Informant's name, Cecil van Gough, combines Cecil, a common first name in Ireland, with [[wikipedia:Vincent van Gogh|Vincent van Gogh]], an artist — which makes his job as an art critic unsurprising.
*The Tokyo Informant's name, Stoolie Rat Weasel, is a hint. A stoolie (stool pigeon) is an informant, rat is also informally used to mean an informant, and weasel is informally used to mean a deceitful person. (The presence of Perducci's bullet in Tokyo is also a hint, among other things.)
*An "[[Wikipedia:Uzi|Uzi]]" is a type of submachine gun, and a "[[Wikipedia:Bazooka|bazooka]]" is a type of rocket launcher.

===Trivia===
*This is the first episode of SBCG4AP where the House of Strong cannot be navigated, and it is the first episode not to have a [[Teen Girl Squad]] comic.
*This is also the first SBCG4AP in which [[Mike Chapman]] does a voice, namely the voice of Craig.
*If he catches her during the stand-off on the roof of Bubs' Concession Stand, Uzi Bazooka calls Cutesy Buttons "[[Missy Palmer|Missy]]".
*A blooper from this game of Bubs' line "Oh, you know him more than you know that you know that you know... him... or somethin'." was put on the website as [[Quote of the Week]] on 11th September 2008, just over two months before the game's release.
*Strong Bad had said in [[stunt double]] that Dangeresque 3 would be in 3D. However, it was depicted as an [[Wikipedia:anaglyph image|anaglyph image]] rather than a [[Wikipedia:computer generated image|computer generated image]].
*The end credits for the movie itself read:
<blockquote>
Written and directed by Strong Bad 
 
Dangeresque -- Strong Bad 
Dangeresque Too -- Homestar Runner 
DADgeresque - Senor Cardgage 
Renaldo -- Coach Z 
Perducci -- The King of Town

===Remarks===
*If the preview is watched following the end credits of [[Baddest of the Bands]], The Stick appears in the background behind Bubs' stand, still covered in toilet paper. Watching the preview from the main menu, however, does not show The Stick at all.
*Strong Bad's nunchuck gun is a revolver. Revolvers don't "jam".
*It took Strong Bad over 4 1/2 years to complete this "blockbuster", as [[dangeresque 3]] marked the 114th day of production.
*In the tutorial for this episode, Strong Bad wears the Dangeresque shades throughout most of it, taking them off at Bubs' Concession Stand.
*The smoky office has the shark pond and picket fence just outside the window, suggesting it should be located in the center of the Field, probably behind the camera as Strong Bad walks around. However, shots across the Field, over characters' shoulders, show nothing there.
*When the monster is revealed in the catacombs, Strong Bad says "Holy Cra," but after the pause, he says "-rap." So he said "Holy Crarap."
*The King of Town, against his word in his last line in the film as Perducci, does not attend the premiere.
*All of the "exotic locales" at the stone bridge are cities except for "Ireland", a country.

===Goofs===
*When you select the podium in Ireland and Strong Bad starts talking about how he busted up a ring of counterfeit three-leaf-thousand dollar bills, the subtitles say "butsed" instead of "busted".
*The [[Lappy 486]] has a black outline in this episode, instead of it being colored as in every other appearance.
*If you look out the window after Cutesy Buttons gets kidnapped, the video of Marzipan watching Credenza in the shark pond will play, except without the animation of Marzipan. Afterward, her filler lines will play even though she is not present.
*In extended play, several scenes involving Renaldo will replay without his being there.
*The "Renaldo Fun Sheets" is actually a pillowcase.
*In the opening to the car chase scene, as Strong Bad speaks the line "Make it snappy, Yellow 5!", The Cheat runs backwards twice without returning to the front in between. This is because the game loads the following scene involving Strong Mad when the first scene just had The Cheat and the car.
*Sometimes when Strong Bad (as Dangeresque) checks emails, his trademark glasses are not visible in his reflection on the Lappy's screen. Occasionally, Strong Bad's reflection will not appear at all.
*Experimento's list of ingredients on the black board calls for a "bubbly drink", but characters always read it as "bubbly liquid".
*Though the characters always refer to Experimento as being a Professor, the mouse-over text for him calls him Doctor.
*Look at the chair in the night time dream sequence office, and Dangeresque will comment on how you can "see [his] butt print worn on the chair." However, the subtitles misspell butt as but.
*After telling Sultry Buttons he'll shower her with jewels, Strong Bad (as Dangeresque) says "...I'm never gonna go" but the subtitles read "...I'm never going to go to".
*In the ending scene in the basement, Marzipan does not say "required", but the subtitles include the word.
*One of the emails will remain labeled as "unread" even after Strong Bad reads it.
*If you go directly to Venice after the car chase scene without going to Experimento's lab, and talk to the informant, Sultry Buttons will be an option even though Dangeresque doesn't know about her being a jewel thief yet.
*If you play the Ace of Spaces on Perducci whilst holding the rock, Perducci will somehow pull ''another'' rock. You will have the opportunity to grab it, but you will not gain another rock nor lose the one you already had.

====PC Version====
*According to [http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showpost.php?p=100539&postcount=9 a thread on the Telltale Games forums], the PC version misses one costume item (the "big hair"). This is due to an oversight, as the costume item was enabled on default in the Wii version, but not on the PC version.

====Wii Version====
*The manual page in the catacombs area is unobtainable in extended play.
*In extended play mode, the rollover for Cutesy Buttons reads "Cutest Buttons".
*The Informant says there are four of them altogether, but the text reads "all together"
*If you use the oil slick 2 times, every time you use a voice command, Killingyouguy (Strong Mad) will regain his balance even though there is no oil to slip on. This can be undone by grabbing the sawmerang (which can be obtained by using the voice commands).

===Glitches===
*On occasion, the moving objects in [[Space Circus Catastrophe]] will disappear.
*Sometimes, Dangeresque's nunchuck gun will appear floating in Venice.
*The metal detector reacts at every world location, but Perducci's bullet can only be found at Tokyo (in standard play) and Venice (in extended play). In addition, it continues to react even after Perducci's bullet has been found.
*If the cereal box was acquired from the Stick during standard play, the extra can of Diet Brown on the table in the Office during extended play simply vanishes shortly after Strong Bad's introduction.
*The disk box is missing from the Secret Lab during extended play.
*Clicking the window right after retrieving Credenza causes Marzipan to continue speaking (i.e. "Hang in there Credenza!"), which continues even after she leaves.
*At most times, the buttons located at the top of the screen will move up and stay there making the player unable to pull up the map or inventory or snappy or main menu even by pressing the hot key. This glitch can be fixed if there is an exit located at the map. If not, then the player needs to reset the game.
*When asleep in Extended Play, looking at the chair in the [[Smoky Office]] will afterwards cause Dangeresque's glasses to appear on him again, even if the player had changed Dangeresque's costume.
*Sometimes for some unknown reason on the PC version of the game, at the very beginning when Dangeresque pulls out the diamond, the computer will restart.
*Sometimes when freeing Renaldo in extended play, the costume items Strong Bad is wearing will hover in the air. Then, when it cuts back to Strong Bad, he will be wearing a second pair of Dangeresque glasses. This can be fixed by leaving the sun base.
*If you pour the formula on The Stick to make the cereal box appear and then reload The Field without picking it up, the cereal box will appear floating over the Shark Pond.
*In the car chase scene, sometimes when you cut to Killingyouguy after attacking him, the tree will keep moving without The Cheat carrying it.
*In the PS3 version, the on-screen instructions for Space Circus Catastrophe state that the Square button will launch a rescue bubble. In actuality, the Circle button launches the bubble, and the Square button launches a bomb.
*Rarely, the game will lose its previous "position" in the GPSTD (map) when it is next opened. This can allow access to locations that are not supposed to be available yet, such as the Space Station at the very beginning of the game.

Talk:Hiatuses

2013-12-02T17:02:31Z

Ngamer01: /* Cleanup on Aisle Hiatuses */ Adding a comment.

==Delete?==
I continue to believe that this does not deserve an article. First of all, the Strong Bad Email hiatus section is already covered on [[Strong Bad Email]], and that's where it belongs, not here. As for the current complete hiatus, I don't think there's enough to say. All there is is "the site has been on hiatus since November 2009, with a brief return for April Fool's Day 2010." That's pretty much what it says now, and that's pretty much all the potential it has. If the hiatus ever ends, then it might have a spot on [[Acknowledged Update Delays]], but for now, it does not merit coverage. '''Delete.''' {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:09, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
:I have to agree with Heimstern here, with same reasons. So, '''delete''' as well. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 07:05, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

::I think it's an interesting article. It does not just cover the Strong bad Email hiatus. I think we should '''keep''' as of now. [[User:MeltingObject|MeltingObject]] 07:05, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
:::My comment didn't only address the Sbemail hiatus, either. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 14:30, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
::::For right now, I would agree that this article doesn't have much information on it. However, the Acknowledge Update Delays page has no information on the current break whatsoever, and Strong Bad Emails only says "They again went on hiatus in October of 2009 and have been since then." I feel that a not insignificant amount of people would come to the wiki to find out about the recent shortage of toons. If we put a few more facts about current projects we know TBC are working on, like Poker Night at the Inventory, I think this might merit its own page, and possibly a main page link as well (to cut down on people posting "Is HR coming back or not?" on talk pages everywhere). '''Keep'''. {{User:Itama/sig}} 06:04, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
:::::I will repeat what I said at [[Talk:Main Page#Hiatus page]]. AUD and this page are entirely different things. The purpose of AUD is to cover instances when, inside of a cartoon, TBC indicate that they know about a delay. This page is, or at least I believe it is, intended to provide fans with information about the delay between major updates. This page could easily be in the HRWiki namespace, and be more aimed at giving users information about the wiki's communication with TBC. I don't think the article as it exists now is up to our standards, but it deserves to exist. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 06:23, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
::::::An HRWiki-space page on this is totally fine by me. The problem I have is with us writing an mainspace article that's not about content but rather some attempt to explain a lack of content. We don't really know why the hiatus exists; explaining it with things like Poker Night and the Jim Henson movie are actually speculatory (TBC didn't completely stop making cartoons during SBCG4AP, for example). If we want a page to tell confused fans "Here's what we know about what's going on...", I believe the HRWiki space is the proper place for that. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:29, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
:::::::I think from my perspective it could do with a bit more information, but it sums up the hiatuses okay and I think most of us are satisfied. In all honesty I do think there should be a page about the hiatuses and this one is adequate as of now. If there is any information left out that you think is necessary then add it.[[User:MeltingObject|MeltingObject]] 18:06, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
::::::::Is that addressed at me? If so, I think you've missed my point. I'm not interested in adding information to this article; I believe none of this information is needed in this article, and hence the article itself is not needed. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:36, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
I'm fine with moving it to the project namespace, although it would need a more specific title than just "Hiatus[es]". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:47, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
:I, like most everyone here, would like to know what ''is'' known about the reason(s) for the current hiatus. I have not learned anything from the current state of this article. [[User:StrongAwesome74/Hiatus]] has better content for folks wanting to learn something new about what ''has'' been going on while there have not been updates to the site, and if a goodly portion of it was incorporated here, I think we'd get a better quality discussion. Right now, it seems like opinions are limited to, "Delete" vs "this article has potential". I can understand why those of the former opinion do nothing to improve the article.. that makes sense.. but what I don't understand is why people of the latter opinion do nothing to improve the article to ''show'' us what its potential is. I'm on the fence; convince me and other fence riders with content, you supporters! =] {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 00:11, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
::I should clarify that I think the page should be moved and replaced with the "December 2009 to present" section of StrongAwesome's page. We really don't know much more than what's already stated in that section. We have given the Chaps several opportunities to tell us exactly what they're up to if they wanted, but so far they have declined to be specific at all. They've been rather cryptic (which is their right of course). I will say, however, that I get the distinct impression that we should ''not'' get our hopes up for a Halloween toon. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:56, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

In terms of the article's deletion, I think it should '''stay'''. In terms of the content, it needs heavy revisions. [[User:doctorwho295|doctorwho295]] 14 November 2010
: I will change my vote to '''keep'''. See section four on this talk page. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 15:10, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

I just took a look at this article for the first time in a while. My initial reaction is this: it needs to be written more formally and objectively, even if only by a little bit. The first thing that caught my eye was the caption for [[:File:aquashot.png]]: "How 2011 can be summed up for Homestar Runner". That's uncalled for and it screams whiny to me. This article is too much like an in-depth play-by-play, and less of a concise summary that I think it should be. It focuses more on what hasn't or didn't happen, rather than what has. I don't mean to put a "positive twist" on this subject, that "what has happened" has to talk about the spans where we haven't had updates. This ''has'' to change, and I'll step up to the plate to make sure it happens, unless someone can convince me otherwise that it doesn't any any significant changes. Here's a few changes I already have in mind:
*Change some grammar, phrasing, and wording to make it sound more professional and slightly more consistent.
*As with StrongBad74's take on the page, move the length of update delays and their records to their own section.
*For each year, note the dates for each appearance/site update.
{{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 18:47, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

:'''Keep'''. While this hiatus has scared off (sorry for the lack of a better term) many fans, it has become the most important point of discussion to those who are still fans. Even if this page should go, I think there should be, as mentioned above, a HRWIKI-namespace article on the hiatus. We do have [[HRWiki:Keep your pants on]], which addresses when TBC didn't update at the usual time ''when they were active''. I think that page should be rewritten to address this hiatus.
:And just incase anyone's wondering: here are my explanations for two of my additions to this article:

:You may notice that in "Minor hiatuses", there is a link to a discussion on this Wiki. I know we're not normally supposed to link to discussions in mainspace articles, but it made me laugh how there was so much drama about a hiatus that was short compared to this one.
:And the part about the Brothers Chaps not forgetting about Strong Bad Email: I find it hypocritical when someone works on a project, abandons it without saying whether it's finished or not, then a while later, does something that shows they know full well they can continue. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 04:07, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

And still, over a year later, this page largely concerns speculation and possible, but not known, explanations for the hiatus. As HRWiki-space material, this is fine stuff, but it does not belong in the article space. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:59, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

:What if we combine it with [[Homestar Runner (body of work)]]? That seems like a good fit. {{User:Tenerence Love/sig}} 00:36, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
::No. That's a horrible fit. That page is about the entire homestar runner content. This page is about lack of content. Please no. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 08:03, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
::Do not delete! i need to know when homestar is off!
:::'''Keep''' I like this page and to super fans, this page is important to chronicles the departure from their hay-day. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 15:40, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
I would definitely like to '''keep''' this page, because I check it every now and then to see if there's any information about when/if the current hiatus might ever be over. I know that it's not often that we come across solid facts regarding this, but the things currently discussed in the article (or at least in the 2010-2012 section) are things that we do know for certain. There needs to be a place where this information can be presented to fans who are wondering where Homestar went. Plus, since the hiatus is kinda the main thing happening with the H*R site now, I'd say that makes this page very relevant and important.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 07:46, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

May I request that the "No Halloween toon" thing not be added until ''Tuesday''? When the website updated, it almost always updated on Monday. Thus, we're more likely to get a Halloween toon ''tomorrow'' than today, if you ask me. Keep on tranglin'. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:06, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
:Sure. We will wait until then, just for you. {{User:Homestar-Winner/sig}} 21:00, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

== May 24? ==
This page says that the sbemail hiatus is still ongoing as of 5/24/11. That's TOMORROW. Just curious, but is this wiki entirely run on GMT/UTC? --[[User:Raddaluigi|Raddaluigi]] 00:35, 24 May 2011 (UTC) --SIDE NOTE: The bottom of the page says it was last modified in April. Weird.
:That's correct. Release dates of cartoons are UTC-5 (UTC-4 during DST) b/c that's what time zone TBC live in (which is rarely important, but it has {{p|l={{FULLURL:On Break|diff=670230&oldid=670225}} had}} [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig|some]] [[Xeriouxly Forxe|significance]]). but otherwise, the dates are just like your timestamp. And about the last modified date: there is a CURRENTDATE template on the page to display whatever date the system thinks today is. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 01:14, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

== New Page? ==

I think the 2010-2011 hiatus should get it's own page on the wiki. --{{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 14:42, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
:I '''disagree''', because the content for that hiatus is still too small, as evidence on this page. However, expansion is not required, as this page gets the job done. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 15:05, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

== Rename? ==
I think there should be a title change on the 2011-2011 hiatus. it should be called "2011-2012 [The end of Homestar Runner?]" because many people speculate its Homestars end. Also, this isnt for just renaming one part, either. you can also suggest renaming another part. Just an idea.
:Nope, some people think it's the end of Homestar Runner, but honestly I think they will make more cartoons someday. Now they have jobs and families to take care of. {{User:Tenerence Love/sig}} 16:40, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
::Any claim that this is "the end of homestar runner" that doesn't come from TBC themselves is just speculation, and it doesn't matter how many people think it is or isn't the end. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:43, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

== What the deuce is happening? ==

I just checked the website, and it's down. Does this mean that everything's over? Is the hiatus now permanent? Someone please tell me what's up. --[[Special:Contributions/99.46.236.115|99.46.236.115]] 07:54, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

== Cleanup on Aisle Hiatuses ==

I know this depends on whether if the article has consensus of being kept, but the article currently is a mess and contains digs to TBC for not updating H*R much in years too boot. The article is arranged half-haphazardly from minor site hiatuses, then to sbemail hiatuses, and then back to major site hiatuses since email videography. It would help if we organize the article to only log each break TBC took as it happened (along with a reason why if available) without resorting to subtle insults to TBC like "they skipped (insert event here)" — [[User:Ngamer01|Ngamer01]] 19:59, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
:I agree. Much of my problem with this page is that it seems to just be a soapbox for people to complain about the lack of new toons. I'd have to see the cleaned up product, but it's possible that if we stick to the basics, I won't mind the page so much (then again, I might still think it's a page about nothing.) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 10:54, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
::I've cleaned up the article (and to think I was the one who added most of those complaints). And by the way, DeFender, what do you mean by "a page about nothing"? {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 13:47, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
:::I literally mean a page about nothing. It's a page about the fact that nothing has happened, and how long this nothing has been going on and whether the nothing is likely to end. See? Nothing. Either way, I mind it far less as a project page than as a mainspace page. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:34, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
::::This wasn't the cleaning I had in mind when I first raised the issue. I've got some ideas, but I lack the time to make and test any of 'em in the sandbox. — [[User:Ngamer01|Ngamer01]] 17:02, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

== Link to a discussion ==
As I've said in the main discussion on this talk page, I linked to a Wiki discussion in the article to illustrate a point (i.e. how a small hiatus caused a long discussion). But I'd still like to know if that link to that discussion is appropriate. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 04:36, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
:Given that we shouldn't really be documenting fan reaction at all, I'd imagine that that link would be removed in any serious cleanup anyway. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 11:55, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
:: I also agree with keeping fan reaction separate, this article is already fully loaded with contempt towards TBC anyway. I did appreciate the link documenting the 2005 mini-hiatus for reference (as well as ironic value) but it could possibly be organized into a new external links section documenting discussion of respective hiatuses. We all wish the site were more active, or even just active, but it should be supported with objective facts about the site history. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 2:35, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

== Broken Links ==

The two twitter links for the latest hiatus are out of date/not working. Does anyone have a copy of the original posts or pictures?

== Kind of a mess ==

Some of the sections on this article are too cluttered. Each section is a single paragraph, even though they've got a lot of information and dates crammed in there. I went ahead and tried to fix the section for the current hiatus. I removed stuff that felt redundant, like repeatedly mentioning the site skipping holidays after saying it hasn't updated since 2010. I tried not to leave out any actual information, though.

Also, I'm not sure how I feel about the caption "How 2011 can be summed up for Homestar Runner". I don't know if it feels mean-spirited or just kind of pouty, but I figured I should bring it up here. We shouldn't gripe too much, because TBC are busy guys and we need to respect that. --[[Special:Contributions/63.246.240.133|63.246.240.133]] 23:06, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

== Still 2011-present? ==

I think that just the surprise appearance at W00tstock doesn't mark the end of the hiatus. It's been a few months; and it hasn't updated yet. --[[User:Camwoodstock|Camwoodstock]] 15:52, 24 September 2013 (UTC)
:Are you asking about the date phrasing? Where you see "2011 - 2013" in that header, it actually says <nowiki>"2011 - {{CURRENTYEAR}}"</nowiki> in the coding so that it doesn't have to be updated every year. The page says that no new material has been added to the site in that time. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 16:06, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

== Still TBD? ==

This page has had a discussion arguing its deletion since approximately 2010, along with the <nowiki>{{tbd}}</nowiki> template. Since the hiatus is much more pronounced now than it was back then, is there any reason ''not'' to have this page? It's a pretty significant thing that's happening in the site right now. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 16:38, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Ngamer01: I guess since the Twitter account was reactivated by a fan and later closed, its technically fanstuff and should be removed. So I removed it.

[[Matt Chapman]] had a '''[[wikipedia:Twitter|Twitter]]'''  account under the name "ronginald" (a reference to [http://www.ronplanet.com/rp022.html this strip] of [[Ron Planet]]) from September 3, 2011 until January 22, 2013. In his Tweets he insisted that [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] is not over (despite having been on [[hiatus]] since November 2009, with minor returns in [[Xeriouxly Forxe|April]] and [[A Decemberween Mackerel|December]] 2010); displayed [[Sketchbook|sketches]] for [[In Search of the Yello Dello]] and rejected [[Halloween costumes]] and a teaser shot of the script for the as-yet-unreleased [[Strong Bad Email]] 206; and mentioned how he currently spends his time (he works for the [[Nickelodeon]] program [[Wikipedia:Yo Gabba Gabba|Yo Gabba Gabba]], for which he and [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] had previously created an animated segment).

Fourth Wall Breaks

2013-10-22T17:46:25Z

Ngamer01: undid revision 738774; That's not a fourth wall break since she was talking to Strong Sad about Bubs.

[[Image:Literal4thwallbreak.PNG|thumb|"Hope you got the extended warranty."]]

Sometimes, the [[characters]] '''break the [[Wikipedia:Fourth wall|fourth wall]]''' by displaying awareness that they are in an Internet cartoon.

Fourth wall breakages are common in [[Strong Bad Email]]s; Strong Bad often addresses the viewers, and references to his "[[email show]]" are made. Some of these supposed "fourth wall breaks" may be explained by assuming that Strong Bad has a live [[Wikipedia:webcam|webcam]] show in which he answers emails, or that he is talking to an imaginary audience, but in other instances the characters actually refer to the fact that they are in cartoons, which is a real fourth wall break. Excluding Strong Bad Emails that involve a character addressing the viewers, here is a list of fourth wall breakages in the toons.

== Big Toons ==
*[[The King of Town DVD]] — In the commentary, Strong Bad calls the toon a cartoon several times.
*[[In Search of the Yello Dello]] — The TV announcer says that [[the Yello Dello]] is "the most rare and beautiful bird in this entire cartoon."
*[[Where's The Cheat?]] — While reassuring Strong Mad, Strong Bad says "Don't worry, big guy. We'll cut to a montage. I mean, find [[The Cheat]]."
*[[Shopping for Danger]]
**[[Silent Rip]] informs [[Gunhaver]] the "Cheat Commandos Headquarters playset is under attack".
**At the end, Gunhaver screams, "Next episode, [[Blue Laser]]! Next episode!"
*[[Weclome Back]]
**All of the characters punch in on a time clock after returning from vacation, possibly implying that they work in a studio.
**Marzipan wonders whether anyone has been "taking care of the website".
**Homestar Runner says "It's time to get this www-dot-show back on the road-dot-com."
*[[2 Part Episode: Part 1]]
**As [[Green Helmets]] take him away, Gunhaver remarks, "At least let a Cheat Commanding Officer be escorted out by someone who isn't available in a discount three pack."

**Gunhaver commands Silent Rip and [[Crackotage]], "be continued!"
*[[2 Part Episode: Part 2]]

*[[Commandos in the Classroom]] — Gunhaver mentions that "[[Buy All Our Playsets and Toys!!|buying all our playsets and toys]]" is a positive thing.
*[[Sbemail 150?!?]] — The [[Female Lappy 486]] is startled by the viewer's arrival and says Strong Bad "is understairs. Tell whim I love..."
*[[No Hands On Deck!]] — Homestar says, "I'd better get back to work if I'm gonna build a deck in this cartoon!"
*[[One Two, One Two]] — [[Homsar]]'s [[bowler hat]] visibly bounces off the edge of the screen when he is singing.

*[[The Animated Adventures of Puppet Homestar]] — Puppet Homestar breaks the fourth wall by showing disgust over Puppet Strong Sad's line "-until he finally went" (who is narrating the toon). He also describes [[Doreauxgard]] and [[Marshie]] as being "the only puppets left".

== Holiday Toons ==
*[[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]]
**At the beginning of the toon, Homestar tells the viewers to "pick a treat and drag it on top of us".
**During the end discussion, Homestar asks if the viewers have voted yet (a feature for that year's toon) and then later requests that the characters repeat stuff they have already said to freak "them" out, both indicating that the characters know they are being watched and hand-waving the animation loop.
*[[Halloween Fairstival]]

**In the Homsar easter egg, Homsar walks across all sides of the screen.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*Strong Sad's costume in the Catacombs is a [[wikipedia:Motion capture#Optical: Passive Markers|passive optical marker motion capture suit]], or at least an approximation of one. It is similar to the "motion capture suit" worn by [[Matt Chapman]] in [[Sample Of Style Too]].
*Dangeresque Too's answer when asked about the trinket ("The doctor is his MOTHER!") is the solution to a [[wikipedia:Situation puzzle|lateral-thinking conundrum]]. The conundrum goes "a boy and his father stalled their car on a set of train tracks. A train hit the car, killing the father and wounding the boy. When the boy was taken to the hospital, the doctor on duty exclaimed "I can't operate on this boy, he's my son!" How can this be?"
*A "romcom" is a [[wikipedia:Romantic comedy|romantic comedy]].
*[[Billy Dee Williams]] is an American actor best known for playing Lando Calrissian in Star Wars.
** He is also Homestar's "[[secret identity]]".
*"Post", mentioned when Dangeresque first meets the monster in the catacombs, refers to [[wikipedia:Post-production|post-production]].
*Pick-ups are minor shots filmed during post-production in order to augment footage already filmed.
*The Irish Informant's name, Cecil van Gough, combines Cecil, a common first name in Ireland, with [[wikipedia:Vincent van Gogh|Vincent van Gogh]], an artist — which makes his job as an art critic unsurprising.
*The Tokyo Informant's name, Stoolie Rat Weasel, is a hint. A stoolie (stool pigeon) is an informant, rat is also informally used to mean an informant, and weasel is informally used to mean a deceitful person. (The presence of Perducci's bullet in Tokyo is also a hint, among other things.)
*An "[[Wikipedia:Uzi|Uzi]]" is a type of submachine gun, and a "[[Wikipedia:Bazooka|bazooka]]" is a type of rocket launcher.

===Trivia===
*This is the first episode of SBCG4AP where the House of Strong cannot be navigated, and it is the first episode not to have a [[Teen Girl Squad]] comic.
*This is also the first SBCG4AP in which [[Mike Chapman]] does a voice, namely the voice of Craig.
*If he catches her during the stand-off on the roof of Bubs' Concession Stand, Uzi Bazooka calls Cutesy Buttons "[[Missy Palmer|Missy]]".
*A blooper from this game of Bubs' line "Oh, you know him more than you know that you know that you know... him... or somethin'." was put on the website as [[Quote of the Week]] on 11th September 2008, just over two months before the game's release.
*Strong Bad had said in [[stunt double]] that Dangeresque 3 would be in 3D. However, it was depicted as an [[Wikipedia:anaglyph image|anaglyph image]] rather than a [[Wikipedia:computer generated image|computer generated image]].
*The end credits for the movie itself read:
<blockquote>
Written and directed by Strong Bad 
 
Dangeresque -- Strong Bad 
Dangeresque Too -- Homestar Runner 
DADgeresque - Senor Cardgage 
Renaldo -- Coach Z 
Perducci -- The King of Town 
Diamonocle -- Bubs 
Cutesy Buttons -- Marzipan 
Sultry Buttons -- Marzipan 
Killingyouguy -- Himself 
Buncha Dopey Informants -- El Dumpo the Wide 
Craig -- The Cheat 
 
All Stunts by Strong Bad 
 
'Today is Alright 4 2nite' 
Written and performed by Strong Bad 
</blockquote>

===Remarks===
*If the preview is watched following the end credits of [[Baddest of the Bands]], The Stick appears in the background behind Bubs' stand, still covered in toilet paper. Watching the preview from the main menu, however, does not show The Stick at all.
*Strong Bad's nunchuck gun is a revolver. Revolvers don't "jam".
*It took Strong Bad over 4 1/2 years to complete this "blockbuster", as [[dangeresque 3]] marked the 114th day of production.
*In the tutorial for this episode, Strong Bad wears the Dangeresque shades throughout most of it, taking them off at Bubs' Concession Stand.
*The smoky office has the shark pond and picket fence just outside the window, suggesting it should be located in the center of the Field, probably behind the camera as Strong Bad walks around. However, shots across the Field, over characters' shoulders, show nothing there.
*When the monster is revealed in the catacombs, Strong Bad says "Holy Cra," but after the pause, he says "-rap." So he said "Holy Crarap."
*The King of Town, against his word in his last line in the film as Perducci, does not attend the premiere.
*All of the "exotic locales" at the stone bridge are cities except for "Ireland", a country.

===Goofs===
*When you select the podium in Ireland and Strong Bad starts talking about how he busted up a ring of counterfeit three-leaf-thousand dollar bills, the subtitles say "butsed" instead of "busted".
*The [[Lappy 486]] has a black outline in this episode, instead of it being colored as in every other appearance.
*If you look out the window after Cutesy Buttons gets kidnapped, the video of Marzipan watching Credenza in the shark pond will play, except without the animation of Marzipan. Afterward, her filler lines will play even though she is not present.
*In extended play, several scenes involving Renaldo will replay without his being there.
*The "Renaldo Fun Sheets" is actually a pillowcase.
*In the opening to the car chase scene, as Strong Bad speaks the line "Make it snappy, Yellow 5!", The Cheat runs backwards twice without returning to the front in between. This is because the game loads the following scene involving Strong Mad when the first scene just had The Cheat and the car.
*Sometimes when Strong Bad (as Dangeresque) checks emails, his trademark glasses are not visible in his reflection on the Lappy's screen. Occasionally, Strong Bad's reflection will not appear at all.
*Experimento's list of ingredients on the black board calls for a "bubbly drink", but characters always read it as "bubbly liquid".
*Though the characters always refer to Experimento as being a Professor, the mouse-over text for him calls him Doctor.
*Look at the chair in the night time dream sequence office, and Dangeresque will comment on how you can "see [his] butt print worn on the chair." However, the subtitles misspell butt as but.
*After telling Sultry Buttons he'll shower her with jewels, Strong Bad (as Dangeresque) says "...I'm never gonna go" but the subtitles read "...I'm never going to go to".
*In the ending scene in the basement, Marzipan does not say "required", but the subtitles include the word.
*One of the emails will remain labeled as "unread" even after Strong Bad reads it.
*If you go directly to Venice after the car chase scene without going to Experimento's lab, and talk to the informant, Sultry Buttons will be an option even though Dangeresque doesn't know about her being a jewel thief yet.
*If you play the Ace of Spaces on Perducci whilst holding the rock, Perducci will somehow pull ''another'' rock. You will have the opportunity to grab it, but you will not gain another rock nor lose the one you already had.

====PC Version====
*According to [http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showpost.php?p=100539&postcount=9 a thread on the Telltale Games forums], the PC version misses one costume item (the "big hair"). This is due to an oversight, as the costume item was enabled on default in the Wii version, but not on the PC version.

====Wii Version====
*The manual page in the catacombs area is unobtainable in extended play.
*In extended play mode, the rollover for Cutesy Buttons reads "Cutest Buttons".
*The Informant says there are four of them altogether, but the text reads "all together"
*If you use the oil slick 2 times, every time you use a voice command, Killingyouguy (Strong Mad) will regain his balance even though there is no oil to slip on. This can be undone by grabbing the sawmerang (which can be obtained by using the voice commands).

===Glitches===
*On occasion, the moving objects in [[Space Circus Catastrophe]] will disappear.
*Sometimes, Dangeresque's nunchuck gun will appear floating in Venice.
*The metal detector reacts at every world location, but Perducci's bullet can only be found at Tokyo (in standard play) and Venice (in extended play). In addition, it continues to react even after Perducci's bullet has been found.
*If the cereal box was acquired from the Stick during standard play, the extra can of Diet Brown on the table in the Office during extended play simply vanishes shortly after Strong Bad's introduction.
*The disk box is missing from the Secret Lab during extended play.
*Clicking the window right after retrieving Credenza causes Marzipan to continue speaking (i.e. "Hang in there Credenza!"), which continues even after she leaves.
*At most times, the buttons located at the top of the screen will move up and stay there making the player unable to pull up the map or inventory or snappy or main menu even by pressing the hot key. This glitch can be fixed if there is an exit located at the map. If not, then the player needs to reset the game.
*When asleep in Extended Play, looking at the chair in the [[Smoky Office]] will afterwards cause Dangeresque's glasses to appear on him again, even if the player had changed Dangeresque's costume.
*Sometimes for some unknown reason on the PC version of the game, at the very beginning when Dangeresque pulls out the diamond, the computer will restart.
*Sometimes when freeing Renaldo in extended play, the costume items Strong Bad is wearing will hover in the air. Then, when it cuts back to Strong Bad, he will be wearing a second pair of Dangeresque glasses. This can be fixed by leaving the sun base.
*If you pour the formula on The Stick to make the cereal box appear and then reload The Field without picking it up, the cereal box will appear floating over the Shark Pond.
*In the car chase scene, sometimes when you cut to Killingyouguy after attacking him, the tree will keep moving without The Cheat carrying it.

===Inside References===
*The two pieces of art in Dangeresque's office depict Strong Sad's dragon from [[dragon]], and the "Deutsch Master" painting from [[portrait]].

**The joystick control for the helicopter set is the pogo stick used for the Race to the End of the Race in [[Homestar Ruiner]].
**Strong Bad's line "Do you have any fruit to declare?" when interrogating one of the City Limits signs at Brainblow City is a repeat of one of Homestar's lines at Marzistar in [[Strong Badia the Free]].
*In the opening, a billboard can be seen advertising for [[The Pizz]] from [[pizza joint]].
*When in Strong Borneo, Dangeresque and Renaldo use the [[Riverquest Safariventure]] box from [[theme park]]. During extended play, Strong Bad will acknowledge this, even going as far as mentioning the email itself.

*The "time card" in Perducci's game is for ''Embarrassing Idol'', one of the shows being filmed at the TV studio in [[Wikipedia:Situation: Comedy (Sam & Max)|Sam and Max Episode 102: Situation: Comedy]]. The card itself comes from [[Wikipedia:Situation: Comedy (Sam & Max)|Sam and Max Episode 204: Chariot of the Dogs]].
**If you use the phone in Dangeresque's office, one of the responses involves Dangeresque getting a call from the Commissioner, asking him to do something "to a rabbit", and Dangeresque telling him "You got the wrong number", another reference to the ''Sam and Max'' franchise: the Freelance Police received most of their assignments over the phone from "the Commissioner".
**One of the backgrounds in the Snap Shak is for Sam & Max's office building and Bosco's Inconvenience Store.
**The drawing of the Office also looks almost exactly like Sam & Max's building, including the two-tone siding and the rounded windows.

*Dangeresque attempts to disable the drill in the sun base by attacking it with the "Four Fingered Exploding Fist of the Lotus Knuckle" maneuver, similar to the "Five Point Exploding Heart Technique" used by The Bride to kill Bill in the movie ''[[Wikipedia:Kill Bill|Kill Bill]]''.
*When Dadgeresque dies, Dangeresque responds by stringing together the names of a bunch of sappy love songs - specifically [[Wikipedia:Bette Midler|Bette Midler's]] "[[Wikipedia:Wind Beneath My Wings|Wind Beneath My Wings]]" and the [[Wikipedia:The Carpenters|Carpenters']] "[[Wikipedia:We've Only Just Begun|We've Only Just Begun]]" - but ends randomly with [[Wikipedia:Cyndi Lauper|Cyndi Lauper's]] "[[Wikipedia:She Bop|She Bop]]".
*When Dangeresque finds the third manual page (in Strong Borneo), he remarks that the map of the solar system is "out of date". This is likely a reference to the fact that [[Wikipedia:Pluto|Pluto]], which appears on the map, is no longer classified as a planet.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|The Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Old-Timey Strong Bad}}, Old-Timey {{Film|Strong Sad}}

'''Places:''' [[The Field#Old-Timey Appearances|Old-Timey The Field]]

'''Icon:''' Old soup can

'''Page Title:''' Old Timey Fun Timey!

==Button Effects==
*'''[[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons]]''' — A bomb is shot out of one of the factory's chimneys and then lands on the ground and explodes.
*'''[[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games]]''' — Old-Timey Strong Bad flies in from the left, lands on his head, rights himself, breathes heavily, and flies upwards.
*'''[[Character Videos|Characters]]''' — The Homestar Runner fires a can from his mouth.

==Fun Facts==
[[Image:original1936strongsad.PNG|thumb|100px|Old-Timey Strong Sad]]
===Trivia===
*Unlike the other main pages, this page is silent except for the sound of the "film" moving through the projector. This and [[Main Page 14]] are the only pages that have a continual noise played.
**The grainy noise stops playing after several minutes.
*The amount of time that The Homestar Runner's mouth is open for each button is roughly the same amount of time it takes Homestar Runner to say each button's word in [[Main Page 1]].
===Remarks===
*The "Loading" logo for this main page is the older "twirling" one, instead of the usual "bobbing" one.
*This main page is the only main page with "flat" buttons. All other non-secret main pages' buttons have a three-dimensional appearance (except [[Main Page 22]], where the buttons are a mixture of "flat" buttons and 3D buttons).
*The links to the Main Pages, the [[First Time Here?]] button, the icons for the other main pages (when scrolled over), and the update button are in color, yet the other buttons are in greyscale.


===Goofs===
*When The Homestar Runner speaks, his mouth goes behind his shirt.

[[Image:main11.png|thumb|220px|Homestar Runner—ACTION NEWS]]

Homestar hosts his own news broadcast.

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

'''Places:''' A newsroom

'''Icon:''' Channel 4 logo

'''Page Title:''' More News at 11!

==Button Effects==
[[Image:Weather.PNG|thumb|220px|"Today's forecast is total crap!"]]
*'''[[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons]]''' — [[:Wikipedia:Character generator|Chyron-style]] text "Homestar Runner—Action News" appears in the [[Wikipedia:Lower thirds|lower third]].
*'''[[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games]]''' — The lights in the buildings in the background disappear, and new lights appear in one of the buildings to form a star.
*'''[[Character Videos|Characters]]''' — Some "over the shoulder" headlines and pictures appear. Cycles through four possible headlines.
:*"More than 2 Problems???" set against Coach Z's medallion with a picture of Coach Z's head.
:*"I Shoulda Won All Those Times!" set against a picture of Strong Bad's head with a smaller copy of the image in the foreground.
:*"[[Melonade]]: Over $2 per gallon?" set against a picture of three glasses of melonade with straws and ice.
:*"[[Seriously]], I Really Shoulda Won All Those Times!" with the same picture as the second story.
*'''[[Downloads]]''' — Cut to Strong Bad standing in front of a weather screen depicting the east of the United States, scattered with sun and rain symbols. He says, "Today's forecast is total [[crap]]!"
*'''[[Store]]''' — Some smoke appears, coming from one of the buildings.
*'''[[Email|E-mail]]''' — The [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|H*R]] logo is projected onto the night sky.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This, [[Main Page 7]] and [[Main Page 23]] are the only main pages where Homestar does not stand to the extreme right of the screen.
*The "Channel 4" logo that appears at the lower-right corner of the screen is called a ''[[Wikipedia:Digital On-screen Graphic|bug]]''.
*This main page is page 11 - and the title states "More news at 11!".

===Remarks===
*The [[font]] for the Chyron-style text and the over-the-shoulder headlines used to be [[Wikipedia:Gill Sans|Gill Sans]] (as seen in [http://www.hrwiki.org/images/archive/d/d4/20060819031517%21main11.png this screenshot]), but the current version of Main Page 11 uses the [[Wikipedia:Arial|Arial]] font instead.
*Strong Bad seems to have his old drawing style while everyone else has the current drawing style.
*Hovering over the "Downloads" button and quickly moving away reveals that Homestar's mouth is not animated to say "Downloads". This is because the scene changes to Strong Bad's weather map which Homestar is not part of.

===Glitches===
*After removing your mouse from the Downloads button, you will see a quick flash of a blank screen of the copyright and main menu links.
*If you click Play when you right click, Strong Bad will take the place of Homestar until you mouse over Downloads.

===Inside References===
*"More than 2 Problems???" is a reference to [[Who Said What Now?]].
*Strong Bad's face when you move your mouse over characters ("I shoulda won all those times!") is similar in style (but not color) to the one on the [[Strong Bad 404 Error Page|Old Error Page]].

===Real-World References===
*The projection of the H*R logo onto the sky is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Bat-Signal|Bat-Signal]] from the [[Batman]] franchise.
*The comment on Melonade being 'over $2 a gallon' is a play on the rising gasoline prices around the world, and the ways news sources report them.
*Channel 4 Action News is a possible reference to [http://www.wsbtv.com/index.html Channel 2 Action News], an [[Wikipedia:Atlanta, Georgia|Atlanta]] news program.
*"More News At 11" refers to the fact that late newscasts in the Eastern and Pacific time zones often broadcast at 11:00pm. It could also be a reference to the fact that the main page is number 11 on the menu, or, to a lesser extent, the song by the rap group Public Enemy.

==Fun Facts==

*This and [[Main Page 9]] are the only Main Pages in which Homestar is drawn entirely in the old style.
*This and [[Main Page 23]] are the only pages where you see Homestar from behind.
*The [[Flag Intro]] used each July fourth up until 2005 automatically loads this main page at the end.
===Goofs===
*The top left of Homestar's shirt has a sliver of his head showing through.
===Fast Forward===
*Homestar also wanted a tattoo of himself in the [[Wikipedia:Uncle Sam|Uncle Sam]] hat on his forearm along with the words "The For Real Deal" in [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]].

'''Places:''' Atari [[The Field]]

'''Icon:''' Atari joystick

'''Page Title:''' Homestar Runner Game Pac

==Button Effects==
*'''[[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons]]''' — The color of the sky alternates between blue, orange, purple, red, and lavender.
*'''[[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games]]''' — An airplane flies by and drops a bomb.
*'''[[Character Videos|Characters]]''' — Strong Bad jumps on screen. He disappears pixel-by-pixel when you remove the cursor from the button.
*'''[[Downloads]]''' — Background is turned into a moving road from a racing game.
*'''[[Store]]''' — Marzipan goes across the screen chasing a butterfly with a net.
*'''[[Email|E-mail]]''' — Strong Bad, holding the Enchanted Chalice from [[Wikipedia:Adventure (Atari 2600)|Adventure]], runs away from Yorgle the Atari Dragon while yelling, "Somebody get this freakin' duck away from me!"

==Fun Facts==
===Remarks===
[[Image:cursor main13.png|thumb|[[8-bit is enough]], right?]]
*The scrolling road is like a daytime version of [[Nighttime Driving Type Game]] from [[Strong Bad's Message Bored]].
*In the .swf, an 8-bit mouse cursor is visible outside the frame. This could possibly be from a scrapped idea to have a "custom cursor" in this page.

===Goofs===
[[Image:WingHead13.PNG|thumb|The plane isn't low. It's just in the foreground.]]
*The wing of the airplane will pass over any action happening in The Field. The only thing it does not pass over is Homestar Runner's head.
*After Strong Bad runs across the screen when the cursor rolls over "E-mail", the Flash file restarts itself, causing the What's New, Main Page, and Weeklies links to disappear for one frame and the What's New button cycle to restart.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad's line is a reference to Homestar Runner's line from the first [[In Search of the Yello Dello Deleted Scenes|deleted scene]] from [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD]].

===Real-World References===
*The sound effects for the "Games" and "E-mail" buttons are taken from the Atari 2600 game [[Wikipedia:Combat (video game)|Combat]].
*The sound effect for the "Characters" button is from the Atari 2600 game [[Wikipedia:Pitfall!|Pitfall!]], when Pitfall Harry would collect a gold bar, diamond ring, etc.
*The effect when Strong Bad disappears is from [[Wikipedia:Pac-Man (Atari 2600)|Pac-Man]] for the Atari 2600. The first sound effect made on the "Downloads" button is the sound Pac-Man makes when eating a pellet.

Ngamer01: /* Robit. Futurama reference or The Twilight Zone reference? */ Whoops. Typo. It's 1959, not 1958. Sorry about that.

{{featuredarticle}}

Does anybody know what "dry meal" is supposed to be?

The dictionary says:

<blockquote>meal: n.
#The edible whole or coarsely ground grains of a cereal grass.
#A granular substance produced by grinding.

Think corn meal.

Johnny's rv of my rv earlier got me to dig on Google and I found there's also a reference to robit from The Twilight Zone (1959). Since TBC tend to not reference newer media, the reference is probably more a subtle Twilight Zone reference than a Futurama reference. What do you all think?

Ngamer01: rv/ Not a reference since this toon was made in 2003. The Futurama movie that had Zoidberg say robit came out in 2008. If there's proof Futurama did it as a shout out, then it's a sighting.

''{Open to Stinkoman training in the field with NES style music.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{punches the air}'' Hah hah hah hah hah hah hah! ''{kicks the air}'' Hya hya hya hya hya hya!

''{The Homestar Runner walks up, kicking his can. The can taps Stinkoman's foot.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Waah! ''{jumps}'' Who are you?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm the Homestar Runner.

'''STINKOMAN:''' That name is dumb. It sounds like it is soooo dumb.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, what's your moniker?

'''STINKOMAN:''' I go by Stinkoman. That's the name of talented fighter if ever there was one.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, if you say so. Would you care for some dry meal? ''{pulls out a bag of dry meal which makes a dry wheezing sound}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' No way! I'm training for fighting, or maybe a challenge. So what's that thing you're kicking around?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, that's just an old can of water soup. I kick it around ever since ''{sadly}'' my dog worshed away in the storm of '28.

''{The words "AGAIN?" and "back." appear.}''

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*The Homestar Runner's "[[Washboard|worsh board]]" was a common, improvised musical instrument in the nineteenth century, typically used for percussion in jug-band music.

===Remarks===
*This cartoon shows that [[Old-Timey]] takes place in 1936.
*The Old-Timey scratch line behaves irregularly:
**Sometimes it sticks out of The Homestar Runner's body; other times it doesn't even reach the edge.
**There is no scratch line on The Homestar Runner's feet, hat propeller, or worshboard.
**The scratchline changes rotation with the rest of The Homestar Runner's body while he is dancing (see image at top of page). Given how scratch lines are formed, it is entirely impossible for it to be anything but perfectly vertical.
**During part of the toon the dry meal sack has a scratch line (independent of The Homestar Runner's), but for the rest of the toon it does not.
*Stinkoman's mouth does not move when he says "DOOOOUUUUUBLEEEEEE DEUUUUUUUCE!"

===Inside References===
*The page title, "CHALLENGE AND FIGHTING!!", refers to the Stinkoman theme song, which contains the words "Challenge and fighting and fighting and challenge tonight..."
*The Homestar Runner kicking a can around is a reference to the series of cartoons in [[Kick the Can]].
* "What is that, some kinda robot?" refers to [[some kinda robot|the very first Strong Bad Email]].
*Stinkoman uses the [[DOUBLE DEUCE]].
*The Homestar Runner's dance music was originally used in [[Parsnips A-Plenty]], as was the dry wheezing sound used for the dry meal. In Parsnips A-Plenty, the sound was used as [[Sickly Sam]]'s disappearing noise.

===Real-World References===
*The kicking attack Stinkoman practices bears a strong resemblance to [[wikipedia:Chun Li|Chun Li]]'s lightning kick attack from [[Street Fighter|Street Fighter II]].
*A hurricane struck Florida in September 1928 and is often referred to as "The Storm of '28" or the [http://www.srh.noaa.gov/mfl/?n=okeechobee "Lake Okeechobee" hurricane].

===Fast Forward===
*The phrase "shimmie and shake" was later used for the [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons Menu]] description of [[500 The Cheats]].
*Different universes (including the Old-Timey and 20X6 ones) would again collide in [[alternate universe]].

== 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:''' Ooh, a nice little title screen there.

'''MATT:''' Oh, these are always fun to do. Mixing the weird, different universes of the Homestar Runner world.

'''MIKE:''' Yes. This was the first—Was this the first thing that Stro—Stinkoman was in after the japanese cartoon email?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I think so. This was the first fleshing out of his character a little bit. ''{pauses}'' I like how Old-Timey Homestar Runner has scratchies only on him—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' —and his voice.

'''MIKE:''' And—and his audio?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I think Old-Timey Homestar Runner is my favorite character.

'''MATT:''' What do you think Old-Timey Homestar Runner's dog's name was, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Um...

'''MATT:''' Old something?

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah. Old Eyelids? Cause he had eyelids? ''{Matt laughs}'' His eyelids were really big, actually.

'''MATT:''' Okay. They droop down off his face?

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah. Instead of having big droopy jowls, he had big droopy eyelashes. Wait, what did I say? Eyelids, not eyelashes.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. You think there's an anime name for those mushroomy things? Yeah, it's been like that.

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''MATT:''' That's terrible. It looks really bad.

'''MIKE:''' An anime name for the mushrooms?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I do think there's a name for them, but I can't think of what it might be right now.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' There's the snot— There's the snot bubble. There's the tear that comes up the side of your face. And then there's the weird, angry mushroom when you're laughing.

'''MIKE:''' They mean something to someone, but not to me.

'''MATT:''' Get down.

'''MIKE:''' It's like the end of the pale green pants.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Hello?

'''MATT:''' Hello?

'''MIKE:''' Hello?

'''MATT:''' Hello!

'''MIKE:''' And... keep playing here. We're gonna fade it out.

===Fun Facts===
*Stinkoman appeared in [[Main Page 17]] between [[japanese cartoon]] and this, contrary to Matt and Mike's claim, but this was in fact "the first fleshing out of his character" since that email.
*The Pale Green Pants are from a children's story called "What Was I Scared Of?" by [[Dr. Seuss]].
*"The tear that comes up the side of your face" is correctly referred to as a [[Wikipedia:Sweat drop|sweat drop]] and is a common element of anime, though it almost always goes ''down'' one's face.

Strong Badia the Free Cave Girl Squad

2013-08-02T17:38:39Z

Ngamer01: rv/ I just checked and this is not a goof. Throughout all of Cave Girl Squad, idea cards you can hold over the Cave and Lizard Girls are held over their bodies.

[[Image:CaveGirlSquad.png|thumb|"Today's the big mammoth hunt, and you know what that means!"]]
The girls take a trip through pre-history in their eternal quest to attract boys.

'''Cast:''' {{film|Cheerleader}}, {{film|So and So}}, {{film|What's Her Face}}, {{film|The Ugly One}}, Ogg Ogg-er-son, Mammoths, Saber tooth Tiger, {{film|Thomas}}, Anubis, Dinosaur, Lizard Cheerleader, Lizard So and So, Lizard What's Her Face, Lizard The Ugly One, Charles Darwin

'''Note: If the word "Girl" is used, it refers to any girl to whom the item is given. "Girl 1" and "Girl 2" are girls randomly chosen at the start of a scene.

==Transcript (Scene 1)==

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Cave Girl Squad! Cheerleader! So and So! What's Her Face! The Ugg-ly One!

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Challah, cave girls! Today's the big mammoth hunt, and you know what that means!

'''SO AND SO:''' An in-depth study of the indigenous mega fauna?

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' Some kinda weird CG-filled cable special? ''{"weird" is not written in the speech bubble}''

'''THE UGG-LY ONE:''' More parasites for my—

'''CHEERLEADER:''' IT'S BOYS, ALRIGHT! It's ALWAYS boys!! And I gotta look my best for my date with the captain of the mammoth huntin' team, Ogg... Ogg-er-son!

''{At this point, the player is allowed to give two items to any of the girls, each of which has different effects (see below).}''

==Transcript (Scene 2)==

'''GIRL 1:''' The Flood Plain Mall is open for business! Let's hang out in the food court for the next epoch!

'''GIRL 2:''' Word.

'''GIRL 1:''' WRITTEN word.

''{At this point, the player is allowed to give another two items to any of the girls.}''

==Transcript (Scene 3)==

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' One hundre... milli... thousa... a long time later!

'''GIRL 1:''' I got me a summa job to save up for a cute burial shroud!

'''EGYPTIAN:''' Get back to work, or no drop of water for you this week!!! ''{The Egyptian whips the girl.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating the whip}'' Krr-ACK!

''{At this point, the player is allowed to give three items to any of the girls before the game ends, unless the player activates Scene 4 {see Dinosaur Egg and Charles Darwin below}.}''

==Transcript (Scene 4)==

'''LIZARD CHEERLEADER:''' And that's how come all the mammals got all extinct.

'''LIZARD SO-AND-SO:''' Weird.

'''LIZARD WHAT'S-HER-FACE:''' Weird.

'''LIZARD THE UGLY ONE:''' Weird.

''{At this point, the player is allowed to give Charles Darwin to any girl. Any other item will be shown on a pedestal that says "Bad Idea". Strong Bad grunts in disapproval if this happens.}''

== Results ==

===If at least one girl survived===
'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, that was terrible on an epic scale. If all cave paintings were like that, we'd never have made it past the... ''dirt'' age. Negative twenty points. The secret to a funny comic is timing. And wiping out a bunch of teen girls, of course, but mostly timing.

===All four girls died===
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, something that unfunny should stay buried in a cave. No points. The secret to a funny comic is timing. And wiping out a bunch of teen girls, of course, but mostly timing.

===One girl died a major death===
'''STRONG BAD:''' Hmm, not bad, but it's still nothing for the vandalized history books. Eighteen points.

===Two or three girls died a major death===
'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, ''now'' we're drawing a crappily drawn civilization. Forty-one points.

===All four girls died major deaths===
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughs strongly}'' That's good stuff, man. Let's see those stupid cro-magnons try to top that! Three hundred fifty-eight points!

===All four girls died major deaths and Charles Darwin was used in scene 4===
'''STRONG BAD:''' Now ''that'' was a work of perfection that will stand the test of time! Six thousand points!

== Items Effects ==

===Chisel===

====Used independent of the Tablet====

'''GIRL:''' Oh, that's a sharp chisel. Cool. I'm sure nothing bad could happen to me with that.

====Used after the Tablet, on the same girl====

''{Various symbols appear over the girl's head as she speaks.}''

'''GIRL:''' Dear-Ogg,-want-to-go-on-date? ''{The girl stops writing}'' Do you spell "Ogg" with two snakes, or a guy with a bear head?

'''MAN WITH 2 LINES SYMBOL:''' IT'S TWO SNAKES!!!

''{The symbol-character throws the two lines at the girl, which then turn into an anaconda, which promptly eats the girl.}''

'''GIRL:''' Ow! My iconic representation!!!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{In a southern accent}'' Well, Di-GESTED WHOLE!!! ''{"Well," isn't in the speech bubble}''

''{The Egyptians take the mummy on their hands over their heads}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' BRAIN OUT OF NOSE WITH A HOOK!

'''MUMMY:''' My sinuses are SO CLEAR!

''{The girl dies and is unselectable after this point.}''

===Mammoth Skin===

====Scene 1====

'''GIRL:''' Check out my fresh new fur coat, guys!

''{A mammoth rapidly approaches the girl.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Stampede!

''{The mammoth impales the girl on its tusk}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' GORE'D!!!

''{The girl dies and is unselectable after this point.}''

====Scenes 2 Or 3====

'''GIRL:''' Check out my retro-chic-vintage mammoth skin coat I found in my step-mom's closet!

'''CAVE PAINTING HUNTER:''' I'm only ''{"2000" if scene 2, "80,000" if scene 3}'' years late for the mammoth hunt! Oooh, a sickly one's been left behind!

''{The Hunter throws a spear through the girl.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' SPEARROWED!!!

''{The girl dies and is unselectable after this point.}''

===Wheel===

====Any girl other than So-And-So====

'''GIRL:''' A perfectly round stone? I can't imagine how that would ever lead to allowing boys to take me to exciting places in romantic fashion. Oh, well.

''{So-And-So dies and is unselectable after this point.}''

===Machine Gun===

''{The machine gun is given to a background character, Ogg in scene 1, a shopper in scene 2, and an Egyptian slave worker in scene 3.}''

====Scene 1====

''{Ogg shoots the mammoths.}''

'''OGG OGG-ERSON:''' Eat hot lead, mammoths!

'''GIRL:''' Ogg's a pretty good shot, I thought he'd ''accidently'' shoot one of us. Kinda wish he didn't hunt our food into extinction, though.

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ENVIRONMENTAL MESSAGE!

====Scene 2====

''{The shopper (the one not holding corn) aims the gun at the storekeeper (the other man).}''

'''GIRL:''' Whoa, take it easy there, big fella! We're all in the same tribe, here.

'''SHOPPER:''' Where's the rest of the corn, snooky? You holdin' out on me?

'''STOREKEEPER:''' C'mon, T-Bone, I'm beggin ya! I got mouths to feed, angry gods to appease!

'''SHOPPER:''' Appease this!

''{The shopper fires the gun. He blows the storekeeper's arm (with the corn) off, and shoots the girl.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' CROSS-FYAH!

'''GIRL:''' AHHH! ''{she starts speaking quickly}'' Remember when we was kids and we used to play on the playground and it didn't matter what tribe we were in or how much corn we ha- ''{she speaks normally again}'' aw, never mind.

'''GIRL:''' Uh, did I say Jumblepuddins? I meant-

''{The tiger eats the girl.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' SABER TOOTH'D! TIGER... in case that wasn't totally obvious...

''{Strong Bad laughs.}''

''{The girl dies and is unselectable after this point.}''

===Dog===

'''GIRL:''' A wolf puppy! Who's a recently domesticated boy? Yes, you are! Yes, you are!

''{Strong Bad makes a sad sound.}''

====Scene 3====

''{An Egyptian is turned into Anubis.}''

'''ANUBIS:''' I AM ANUBIS!!!

'''GIRL:''' More like A-N00b-Is you! Wearing animal heads is ''so'' third issue.

'''ANUBIS:''' I AM THE DOG-HEADED GOD OF DEATH!!!

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*"[[Phat]]" is slang for either "excellent" or "sexy".
*[[Wikipedia:Tar pit|Tar pits]] are large holes filled with tar, which prehistoric animals were killed and preserved when the tar hardened. Archaeologists frequently study extracted remains from such pits, as they are some of the best preserved bodies of prehistoric life.
*[[Wikipedia:Saber-toothed cat|Saber tooth tigers]] and [[Wikipedia:Woolly mammoth|woolly mammoths]] are both extinct, presumably because of an inability to adapt to environmental changes.
*A meteor crashing into the Earth is one of the most well known [[Wikipedia:Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event|theories as to why the dinosaurs became extinct]].
*E=mc2 is the equation for [[Wikipedia:mass–energy equivalence|mass–energy equivalence]], usually associated with the theory of relativity, proposed by [[Wikipedia:Albert Einstein|Albert Einstein]].
*A "domesticated" dog is a dog trained to be a house pet, and does not attack humans.
*A "n00b" is an [[Internet Slang]] insult.

===Remarks===
*The Teen Girl Squad idea card for [[Thomas]] says "Alien" rather than "Thomas".
*Cheerleader's hair is colored yellow, but So-And-So's hair (also yellow, as seen in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]]) is not.
*While there was an Egyptian heiroglyph that used a snake (to represent the J sound), there is no heiroglyph that uses two.

===Goofs===
*Lizard The Ugly One doesn't wear The Ugly One's glasses, but they still fly off in the Charles Darwin scene.

===Inside References===
*The Anubis scene mentions "wearing animal heads" in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]], and, indeed, Cheerleader wore an elephant head.
*"Ogg-erson" is another case of [[-erson]].

===Real-World References===
*"Some kinda weird CG-filled cable special" refers to a series of BBC documentaries on prehistoric life, [[Wikipedia:Walking_With_Dinosaurs|Walking With Dinosaurs]], [[Wikipedia:Walking_With_Beasts|Walking With Beasts]], and [[Wikipedia:Walking_With_Cavemen|Walking With Cavemen]], though ''Walking With Cavemen'' used human actors wearing prosthetics instead of computer-generated animation.
*[[Wikipedia:Anubis|Anubis]] really was the Egyptian god of the dead. However, he has the head of a [[Wikipedia:Jackal|jackal]], not a dog, as Strong Bad says.
*Narrator Strong Bad sings [[Wikipedia:Also sprach Zarathustra (Richard_Strauss)|Also sprach Zarathustra]], best known as the theme to ''2001: A Space Odyssey'' (referenced by the monolith falling on the girl).
*Ogg's car resembles that of ''[[Wikipedia:The Flintstones|The Flintstones]]''.
*"Captain's Log" is something commonly said in the [[Wikipedia:Star Trek|Star Trek]] series.
*Darwin's boombox is named "The Beagle", after [[Wikipedia:HMS Beagle|the ship Darwin rode]] during his voyage and studies.
*[[Wikipedia:Chuck D|Chuck D]] is a rapper best known for his work with [[Wikipedia:Public Enemy (band)|Public Enemy]].
*The cancer cure is likely a reference to an episode of [[Wikipedia:The Twilight Zone|''The Twilight Zone'']] titled ''"The Gift"'', where an alien is killed by a crowd and his peace offering of a cancer cure is burned.

== Not Enough Appearances to Keep This ==
Originally the article was started up and was redirected to Nicknames due to a lack of notable appearances and now the redirect has been rv'd in favor of trying to resurrect the article. The problem here is still a lack of notable appearances (there's only one appearance and a reference).
