'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Another week, another email scandal! Strong Bad gonna fly off the handle! ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: strong bad email</div>
Hey mr S to the B 
I was wondering what the nightlife is like in strongbadia? 
What kinda hip clubs and fun hotspots are there to 
check out? 
Somekindaguy 
Josh CO 
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Mr" as "mer", "Somekindaguy" as "Soma-keenda-goo-ay" and "Josh CO" as "JoshCO!", adding "makers of funny products and funnier slogans." He also puts emphasis on "kinda" as if "kinda hip" meant "somewhat hip"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, we only have one real fun hotspot. As you may well have already guessed, I am of course talking about

''{Carrot and Kazoo Hill is shown, with Homestar and Strong Sad standing on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Carrot and Kazoo Hill.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{unemotional}'' Whee.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Good times.

''{Back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Man, the hill was jumpin' that night! As far as clubs go, Club Technochocolate is about as kinda hip as it gets! Some towns have party clubs, but we've got our very own bona fide ''pwawty cloughb!''

''{A flyer is shown while music begins to play in the background, which reads: Club Technochocolate / Free Country USA's Premier / PWAWTY CLOUGHB / (Not a place for technological chocolate bars)}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' When I'm going out to the cloughb, I always like to take off ''{Cut to Strong Bad's Bedroom. He is standing in the foreground messing with his shirt.}'' my best shirt! ''{His best shirt is light blue with a tribal mark. He rips it open with a "huah!", popping a button. He begins to spray himself with body spray.}''

''{Camera cuts to Strong Sad, who is leaning in the doorway from the Basement}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Strong Bad, are you putting on body spray?

''{Cut back to Strong Bad, still holding the black can of body spray}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up! Guys don't wear body spray. This is uh... the blood... of slain... warrior... mammoths.

''{Scene darkens, and Strong Bad continues to spray on the "Mammoth Blood"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Of course, the cloughb only lets the freshest clientèle inside. But my name has been laser-etched into the guest list by now.

''{a location somewhere in the Field is shown, at night. Strong Mad is standing behind a velvet-rope as Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' NAME PLEASE!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, man, drop the act! I've gotta get into the pwawty cloughb.

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{holding up a grease-stained Blubb-O's bag}'' YOU'RE NOT ON THE LIST!

'''STRONG BAD:''' The list?! You're looking at a greasy bag of fast food!

'''STRONG MAD:''' DON'T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF! ''{he laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, what? Strong Mad, did you just make a joke?! That was pretty good! Now hows about letting me in?

'''STRONG MAD:''' NAME PLEASE!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh... Spicy Crispy Chicken Melt... Johnson.

'''STRONG MAD:''' NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN, MR. JOHNSON! ''{he unhooks the rope and lets Strong Bad through}''

''{Various Cuts: Club TechnoChocolate. Bubs, Marzipan, and Pom Pom are seen dancing. The Cheat is DJ'ing. Dance music can be heard in the background.}''

'''SINGERS:''' ''{the second singer has a robotic voice, and speaks under the first}'' Smart drinks. These are smart drinks. (These are not smart drinks.) Smart drinks.—

''{Cut to: Club Technochocolate's bar. Strong Bad walks in from our left. Bubs slides in from our right, behind the bar.}''

'''SINGERS:''' ''{Continuing behind the Bubs scene}'' —These are smart drinks. (These are definitely not smart drinks.) Have another round. (Don't have another round.) Have another round! (Do not have another round.) These are smart drinks. (These are not smart drinks.) These are smart drinks. (These are definitely not smart drinks.)

'''BUBS:''' Well, if it isn't my main man Spicy Crispy Chicken Melt.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I need the brightest, glowiest drink in the house.

''{Zoom in on Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' How about a nice Pink Elephant Pants?

''{Zoom out again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll take it!

''{Bubs reaches under the bar, and produces an eyedropper containing a green liquid}''

'''BUBS:''' That'll be $17.50.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! You guys must be having a sale!

''{the edge of the Club Technochocolate dance floor is seen. Marzipan and Strong Sad are standing just off the dance floor. Strong Sad is wearing fishnet gloves.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' You don't look like you're having very much fun, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh I'm having a great time. This is my favorite club to go to, and not dance. Sometimes I'll even ''think'' about dancing, and then not dance. And if I'm feeling ''really'' crazy, I'll actually get out on the dance floor, and bust some fresh not-dancing.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Then how about I start busting some fresh not-hanging-out-with-you.

''{Marzipan walks off. Cut to Strong Bad dancing on the dance floor.}''

'''SINGER:''' Smart drinks. These are smart drinks.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{off-screen}'' Hey Strong Bad.

''{Zoom out. Homestar is standing behind Strong Bad (our left). He looks like he has just woken up, complete with [[cinnamon]], dressing gown, sleeping cap, and [[Nebulon]] slippers. His eyes are closed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, get outta here! I'm doin my matin' dance.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{eyes still closed} {unintelligible}'' more, more...badges.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Because I got more badges than you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, are you asleep?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Because I sold more thin mints than you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, are you asleep and dreaming that you're a girl scout?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No Ma'am, Troop Beverly Hills.

''{The Cheat is DJing in the DJ booth.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' And at some point during the night, we all get "treated" to Coach Z ''{Zoom out, Coach Z with a mic}'' attempting to freestyle.

'''COACH Z:''' One two one two, 'bout to freestyle... One, two? One two?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' I mean... count to two over and over again.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{overlapping}'' Ha, one two one two! Here I go! Hang on, one two.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' And no night at the cloughb would be complete, without me getting tossed out on my leopard print hinders.

''{Back to the entrance. Strong Bad gets tossed out, wearing leopard print underwear. Strong Mad is no longer visible.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's not my fault! It's those light-èd floors! I think my pants are mysteriously drawn to them!

''{Strong Bad's pants get thrown out too. They land on his head and remain unfolded.}''

''{Cut back to Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So that's the nightlife around here, Soma. Of course, there's also the pour rotten milk on Marzipan's prized petunias while she's asleep variety of nightlife as well, but that's another email, for another time. This has been Strong Bad, with Strong Bad E-mail 185 ''{pronounced one eighty-five}''. Thanks for listening.

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

==Easter Eggs==

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Smart drink|Smart drinks]] are non-alcoholic drinks made from juice and supplemented with herbal extracts and other ingredients. They were a fad in the rave and club scenes during the early '90s.
*A [[Wikipedia:Seeing pink elephants|pink elephant]] is used as a visual shorthand that someone is drunk. There is no standard cocktail called a Pink Elephant ''Pants'', but a [http://www.drinksmixer.com/drink5892.html Pink Elephant] is usually made from gin and grenadine.
*[[Wikipedia:Cacao|Cacao]] is the name for the tree from whose seeds chocolate is made. Indicating the percentage of cacao in a recipe is a common marketing convention for gourmet dark chocolates.
*[[Wikipedia:Sleepwalking|Sleepwalking]] is a nocturnal disorder in which a sleeping individual engages in behavior normally done while awake.
*A [[Wikipedia:Girl Scout cookie|thin mint]] is one of several varieties of cookies sold by [[Wikipedia:Girl Guide and Girl Scout|Girl Scouts]] as a fundraiser for their organization.

===Trivia===
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad describes a night out at Club Technochocolate."

===Remarks===
*This is the first time Strong Bad's room appeared in something other than Easter Eggs and Secret Pages.
*In [[Summer Short Shorts]], [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] was located to the right of [[Strong Badia]]. In the Carrot and Kazoo Hill scene of this email, however, the locations are reversed. 
*The Carrot and Kazoo Hill scene has the old round bushes that used to be displayed in The Field.
*Girl Scouts actually are in troops named by numbers; e.g. 577, 581, etc.
*This marks the first time that shows Bubs moving his arms by bending them around other than at the elbows.
**However, when Bubs is dancing, his elbow joints are still visible. The bendy-armed Bubs does not appear until the scene at the counter.
*Strong Bad's comment about wearing body spray is another [[blatant lie]].
*Strong Bad applies his body spray without pressing down on the nozzle of the aerosol can.
*When the toons menu preview is viewed on the Wii internet channel, only the back wall and the Club Technochocolate sign are visible. The rest is static.
*In the [[Podstar Runner]] version of the email, the flyer for Club Technochocolate does not appear. The screen instead freezes on Strong Bad until the cut to his bedroom. Strong Bad does not continue typing at this point even though he does continue to talk.

===Goofs===
*As Strong Bad types "This has been Strong Bad" the text cursor goes outside the Lappy's screen very briefly.
*When Homestar leans back while talking to Strong Bad, you can see a section of his robe has no back for a few frames.
*During the scene where Strong Bad is talking to Bubs at the bar, various parts of the bar change different shades of white during different shots.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Originally, as Bubs glided in behind the bar, his middle section was elevated slightly above the level of the bar but his legs were noticeably absent. This was fixed by Tuesday.

===Inside References===
*Strong Mad [[Strong Mad smiling|smiles]] after he tells his joke.
*The [[Blubb-O's]] bag features the [[Drive-Thru Whale]]. "Blubb-O's" was previously mentioned in the DVD commentary for [[Drive-Thru]].
*Strong Bad is shown wearing leopard-print [[underwear]] after he [[Strong Bad Losing His Pants|loses his pants]].
*[[Pants]], [[alcohol]], and [[elephants]] figure prominently in the email.
*"Light-èd floors" is another instance of the [[-èd]] pronunciation.
*Strong Bad refers to his body spray as "the [[blood]] of slain warrior mammoths".
*The King of Town's motherboard and sleeping Homestar's kazoo are both [[Eating Non-Food Items|non-food items]] about to be eaten.
*Strong Bad's dance moves and the music that plays when the flyer appears onscreen are both from the Technochocolate scene of [[disconnected]].
*Bubs's dance moves are from [[Dancin' Bubs]].
*Marzipan's dance moves are from the dance contest in [[replacement]].
*Pom Pom's dance moves are from [[geddup noise]].
*Homestar dreaming that he is a Girl Scout is another instance of [[gender confusion]].
*Homestar has [[cinnamon]] on his chin.
*Strong Sad says that Club Technochocolate is his favorite place to go to and [[Not X|not dance]].
*Thin mints were previously mentioned in [[rough copy]].
*When talking to Marzipan about not dancing, Strong Sad [[Strong Sad Smiling|smiles]].
*The motherboard in the King of Town Easter egg is the same one seen in [[The System Is Down]].
*Strong Bad's "mating dance" partially originated in [[disconnected]].

===Real-World References===
*''[[Wikipedia:Troop Beverly Hills|Troop Beverly Hills]]'' is a 1989 movie starring Shelly Long as a clueless debutante housewife trying to run a Girl Scout troop.
*Homestar Runner is wearing [[Professional Wrestling|professional wrestler]] [[Wikipedia:Roddy Piper|Roddy Piper]]'s "Hot Rod" T-shirt.
*The "another email for another time" line is a reference to the "But that is another story, to be told another time" line which concludes ''[[Wikipedia:The Neverending Story|The Neverending Story]]''.

===Fast Forward===
*The [[Blubb-O's]] bag was seen again in [[Blubb-O's Commercial]].
*Strong Bad says a line similar to "I need the brightest, glowiest drink in the house." in [[Strong Badia the Free]].

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You put me in a box.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Uh...that's a chair.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh...oh! Nice box.

'''MIKE:''' ''{chuckling}'' Thanks, it's a chair.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{the email shows Carrot and Kazoo Hill}'' Ooh! That was the hottest time I ever had! Man, me and Strong Sad really tore up Carrot and Kazoo Hill ''that'' night.

'''MIKE:''' You were kinda defying gravity a little bit, it looked like.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Man, you should see me lean.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' It looks like you shoulda been tumbling down. The hill.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' A-tumblin' down?

'''MIKE:''' Mmhmm.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You should see me lean! Watch me lean. ''{making a sound effect}'' Waaah!

'''MIKE:''' Wow! You're like one of those fun houses.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{as if "fun" is a verb}'' Yeah! You should see me fun house! ''{Mike chuckles; pause}'' Umm...

'''MIKE:''' Have you ever been in—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{interrupting}'' Do you think Strong Bad got that shirt at, like, some...some local boutique?

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' He might have.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Is that tree silkscreened onto it?

'''MIKE:''' Prob'ly is.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Hand-silkscreen?

'''MIKE:''' Prob'ly cost him about a hundred and...twelve dollars?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Did it get it from an Exy shop? 

'''MIKE:''' He've— ''{chuckling}'' He might've.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{referring to Strong Bad's body spray}'' Man, he's really layin' it on pretty thick there. ''{Mike clicks his tongue in agreement}'' Why didn't he—

'''MIKE:''' How did you get past the security this—at the party club? Club Technochocolate?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I don't think I went to the party club. What are you talkin' about, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' I think you...I think you did!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, I stayed home in bed this night.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Oh-ho, okay.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, what...what are you talkin' about?

'''MIKE:''' III'll...sorry, I dunno—I dunno what I'm talkin' about.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I prob'ly cleverly talked my way through. ''{Mike snickers}'' Y'know. Like...a zap roast...lemme have a zap roast.

'''MIKE:''' A zap ''{chuckling}'' roast?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah. That's what I call it when you put a roast in the microwave. ''{Mike laughs}'' "Lemme get a...a large zap roast..." ''{Mike laughs}'' "Strong Mad," I'd say. Ohh. This is a nice jam.

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's about smart drinks.

'''MIKE:''' 'd ya ever have a smart drink?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What defines a smart drink, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' I think—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I feel like they never really got their time...to shine in the spotlight.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping, laughing}'' No, they didn't. I think that...they were kinda pre-Red Bull. I feel like.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah. Yeah, I had a little—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Energy drinks kinda...just...overshadowed them.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But...why did the...the—the focus shift from needing to be smart...to needing to have a lotta energy?

'''MIKE:''' Well, if you're tired, it's not gonna matter if you're smart or not, y'know? But if you're sleepin' all the time...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{overlapping}'' But if you're smart, you should be able to figure out ways...to stay...not tired.

'''MIKE:''' Ohh.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I like Strong Sad's pantyhose.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Those—those are—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{interrupting}'' Looks like he reached into some pantyhose!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' He broke right through. With his fingertips?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah. I bet he just drew those on, though, with a Sharpie. What do you think, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' He might've. They look pretty...pretty well-drawn.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' But that's the kind of thing Strong Sad would spend like four days doing, maybe.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Did you ever know anybody that would, like...''liked'' to go out to the...dance club, —

'''MIKE:''' ''{interrupting, referring to Homestar onscreen}'' See—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —but then wouldn't dance?

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah. That's Strong Sad.

'''MIKE:''' ''{Homestar appears onscreen again}'' Look—look at you!

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

'''MIKE:''' See, there you are!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wait a minute!

'''MIKE:''' I told you—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I told you I stayed at home this night!

'''MIKE:''' I kn— ''{laughing}'' I know you did.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Where did you get this footage?!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Uh...I—I—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What am I talkin' about?

'''MIKE:''' You're talking about Girl Scouts.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No. That's not true.

'''MIKE:''' I think you musta been—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I must—

'''MIKE:''' You were dreaming about being a Girl Scout.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No. I musta been dreamin' about...Knives...'n' Guns...Scouts.

'''MIKE:''' Uhhh...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' They sell Thin—Thin Mints is short for...Turbo...Heated...Intro-...Nuclear...Mother...In...No...Tank! ''{Mike laughs}'' Mike. THIN MINT. ''{Mike laughs}'' I pro'ly w—d-drove one o' those...here to the club.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, something something something tank?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' All right. I don't remember any of the other things. Although I think "mother," maybe, was one of the words?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, ''{laughing}'' "''No'' Mother."

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' "No Mother..."

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Lookit, uh...did you see Strong Bad's, um... ''{Mike laughs}'' pantalones?

'''MIKE:''' I did.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Those were...rough.

'''MIKE:''' They were...''{laughs}'' a little rough on the eyes. I s—had to squint.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That is too bad. He had some stiff pants. Did you see those stiff pants—

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs, underneath}'' those—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' — stick to his head?

'''MIKE:''' I did.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Those had some natural starch... ''{Mike laughs}'' in them. I think.

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

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

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

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

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

''{Cut back to the computer}''

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

''{Cut to a blackboard on which is written "COOLGUY'S LAW:" alongside a drawing of Strong Bad's head wearing glasses and a mortar board}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Typical slumber party fare includes things like, six-foot party sub ''{a huge sub appears}'', an exorbitant amount of pizza ''{Fourteen boxes of pizza appear in stacks of eight and six}'', and at least enough Skittles ''{Skittles fall on the right of the screen}'' and red cream soda ''{Three mugs of bubbling cream soda appear}'' to make your spit hurt.

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

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

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

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

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

''{Cut back to the computer}''

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

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

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

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

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

''{Cut back to Bubs}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Cut back to the computer}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on "questionable" at the end to play [[Clapping Party]]. If you clear two rounds, it unlocks "''[[Blistergeist]]'' mode" which involves an unpixelated ghost in a hockey mask attacking the hands with a chainsaw, causing equally unpixelated blisters to appear on them. The game stops at this point.
*Click on "slumber party" at the end to watch Homestar's Slumber Party dance.

===Explanations===
[[Image:Coolguy's Law.png|215px|thumb|Coolguy's law]]
*According to [[Bogus Mathematical theorems#Coolguy's Law|Coolguy's Law]], the more popular the host of the slumber party, the less fun you can have at their house.

*"Rated M for Mature" refers to the [[Wikipedia:ESRB|ESRB]] rating system, which uses letters to indicate what age group a video game is best suited for. M is the second highest rating, and is recommended for players seventeen and older.
*Similarly, R-rated movies are those that are restricted from those age seventeen and younger, unless accompanied by an adult to the theater.
*"Escrow" refers to assets set aside with a third party until some conditions are met for their release; "lumbago" refers to various kinds of lower back pain; "sciatica" is an irritation of the sciatic nerve, or the main nerve running from the base of the spine down each leg.

*In Clapping Party, you can only clap once every few seconds.
*In Homestar Runner's house, the bed is next to the loungeroom, even though Homestar claimed to have stairs in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].
*As Strong Bad raids the "M for Matures" cabinet, the [[Sega tapes]] ''Throat Rip'' and ''Saliva Quest'' are sitting atop it.
*The salad, the milk and its glass all appear from [[hammerspace]].

===Goofs===

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

'''MATT:''' It's just me this time.

'''MIKE:''' That's fine. I, I, I would rather talk to you because I do have something to talk about.

'''MATT:''' Yeah? The double deal?

'''MIKE:''' No, the term "slumber party," let's talk about.

'''MATT:''' Okay.

'''MIKE:''' It's a pretty funny term.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Slumber, I mean...

'''MATT:''' It sounds about as square as you can get.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, exactly.

'''MATT:''' ''{in an affected accent}'' "Would you like... My fellows, would you like to come to my house for slumber?" ''{Mike laughs}'' "For to take slumber? To partake of slumber?"

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Sleepovers... cause there's, when it was just one person, it's just a sleepover.

'''MATT:''' Right.

'''MIKE:''' And just at some point...

'''MATT:''' Look at that. Skip-Bo throws some terrible slumber parties. ''{pause}'' Um...

'''MIKE:''' How many people do you think constitute a slumber party? Maybe five?

'''MATT:''' Whoa. How many friends ''you'' have?

'''MIKE:''' What?

'''MATT:''' Man, I... It was a slumber party if I could get a kid to come over to the house.

'''MIKE:''' But I'm saying that was a sleepover.

'''MATT:''' Yeah...

'''MIKE:''' When does a sleepover turn into a slumber party?

'''MATT:''' Back in those days it was, like, usually for a kid's birthday.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Like it was the one time a mom would tolerate having however many other stupid little kids sleeping in their house.

'''MIKE:''' I remember Mrs. Edwards gave me a quarter 'cause I was the first one to fall asleep ''{Matt laughs}'' at Scott's birthday party and I was totally faking it.

'''MATT:''' Good job!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Nice job!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' So Homestar does not have any kind of fitted sheet over his mattress. That was based on a mattress that, uh, that we had as kids, right?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Let's talk about these games.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, these are some good games. I want to look at Head Chopper 2 again, there's some good severed pixel heads on that one. Oh, Clapping Party.

'''MIKE:''' Did we make a playable version of Clapping Party?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I think you just click, click through it to clap. It's pretty good, it's pretty good. Watch that kid, Mike, in the lower-left corner.

'''MIKE:''' He's gonna have some disgusting rainbow saliva tongue in a minute.

'''MATT:''' Yeah he is. I can remember this one time at a party, uh, there was a big, giant bowl of Skittles, like at least two of those, of those like, one pound bag of Skittles, or, in it if not more. and me and this kid were just eating them by the handful and listening to, like, and we had just put on ''...And Justice for All'' and there was a strobe light so we were like, uh, like headbanging to Metallica. ''{Mike laughs}'' And I remember...

'''MIKE:''' Were you slam dancing, maybe?

'''MATT:''' No, we were just head, just headbanging.

'''MIKE:''' Standing in place.

'''MATT:''' Standing in place and headbanging and eating Skittles, and I remember Skittle spit coming out of my nose ''{Mike laughs}'' because I was, like, headbanging so intensely.

'''MIKE:''' Ha! That's pretty disgusting.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I'm sure...

'''MATT:''' I bet other kids were probably making out with girls at that party. I was standing by the Skittles table headbanging to some Metallica.

'''MIKE:''' I'm sure Lars would probably prefer, you know, people be...having Skittles saliva coming out of their nose than making out to ..."And Justice for All".

'''MATT:''' Yeah, maybe.

'''MIKE:''' You know, maybe "One". You might make out to "One".

'''MATT:''' It's a really good song to make out to, I'm sure. "The Unforgiven"?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Or "Unforgiven," whatever that song's called. Uh... "Government ain't right, government ain't right!" We, uh, we work near, near a barber shop where we hear similar conversations to that one I think, where there's several, some old guys in the barber shop and they're arguing about some, some great subjects. Hey, we, that's that sling that's under, under the counter in Mom's bathroom!

'''MIKE:''' Was that, when was that for?

'''MATT:''' I think it was Karen broke her elbow.

'''MIKE:''' Wow, that was a while ago.

'''MATT:''' Was it her elbow or arm? Out playing soccer? How'd she break hers?

'''MIKE:''' Did she break hers? She broke her back.

'''MATT:''' No, but I'm talking, somebody, maybe...

'''MIKE:''' Maybe Julie?

'''MATT:''' Julie, it's for Julie's nose? A sling... ''{quietly}'' for Julie's nose. ''{regular volume}'' We've got some nice pictures of you, Mike, in the ol' V-neck, uh, sleeper shirt.

'''MIKE:''' Ah, yeah.

'''MATT:''' Giving the double thumbs up on the back porch, back patio in Indiana. That was... bye.

'''MIKE:''' Bye.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Let a lil' email into your heart, and it'll clog your arteries!
<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: sbemails!!</div>
Hey there Strong Bad, 
As a typical college girl I was wondering if there is a 
pizza joint somewhere in Strongbadia...you know, if me and 
my girls wanted to come hang out sometime. 
Hopeful in Pennsylvania, 
Daphne
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad gets more and more excited as he reads the last two lines}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' BLARG! ''{typing}'' Yes! We have a pizza joint! ''{Cut to the computer room; Strong Bad flails his arms wildly}'' I gots me a pizza joint! ''{Strong Bad falls off his chair and then flops off the screen}'' Always been at the pizza joint! Come to the pizza joint with me!

''{Screen-wipe to Strong Badia. Strong Bad is standing behind a cardboard box, on which The Cheat is busy writing "Strong Bad's Strong Badian PIZZ". They are surrounded by "Neighborhood Style" pizza boxes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hurry up with that sign, The Cheat!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{walks to the front}'' No, no, no, that's already way too long. We need something short and catchy that Daphne and her girls can say real quick. ''{cut to close-up of Strong Bad}'' You know, like, "The Max", or "The Emporium". It's never gonna work if they have to be like:

''{Cut to a Teen Girl Squad scene with the slower version of the TGS music. Cheerleader and So and So are wearing towels. What's Her Face is wearing her regular clothes. The Ugly One is dressed like a mummy in a sarcophagus. Daphne is there too, wearing a towel with "Daph" written on it.}''

'''DAPHNE:''' Hey gals! Let's towel off and meet up at... ''{words appear on screen as they are said slowly}'' Strong Bad's Strong Badian pi-

'''CHEERLEADER:''' ''{interrupting}'' This is taking too long!

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' I'm already bored!

'''SO AND SO:''' I'm going home!

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' I belong in a museum!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad and The Cheat}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' College girls don't have that kind of time, man. We gotta strike while the girl is still hot!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{exasperated The Cheat noises; he scribbles out "Strong Bad's Strong Badian" and writes "The" below it. The sign now reads "The Pizz"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah! The Pizz! I love it!

''{A silhouette of Homestar Runner's head enters the bottom-left corner. Cut to Homestar Runner}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Umm, yeah. Lemme get a slice of p-roni, with some t-sauce, and ''{squinting}'' m-rooms.

''{Cut to a wide shot of Strong Badia}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, get outta here! We're not a real pizza place! This is just a front to meet some girls!

''{Cut to Homestar Runner}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ohhhhh. Lemme get a calzone, then. With, uh, p-loaf and m-cheese.

''{Cut back to Strong Badia. The phone rings}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the- Hang on a sec. ''{picks up a phone}'' Uhh... The Pizz? Thanks for calling?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Yeah, lemme get about 50 ''{Homestar leaves to the left}'' Thanksgiving Lover's pizzas delivered to the only castle around here!

''{Cut to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' King of Town? How did you even know about this place?

''{The screen splits to show the King of Town on the other end}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Well, if you ''must'' know, I spend most of my day calling random numbers in hopes of finding a new restaurant!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, we're not a real place. ''{footsteps offscreen}'' We're just a—

''{Cut back to Strong Badia. Homestar is standing next to Strong Bad, wearing a The Pizz shirt and hat. The Cheat, also wearing a hat, leaves to the right}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{camera zooms in at Strong Bad and Homestar a crooked angle after each sentence}'' Table 44 needs more breadsticks! The soccer team left without paying! And the delivery guy caught a flat!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What are you talking about? Weren't you just a customer?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, but The Cheat hired me for the lunch rush. I mean, hey! Somebody's gotta make that muh-ney! ''{runs off}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is all wrong! ''{cuts back to Strong Badia}'' The Cheat, in our effort to make a pretend pizza place in order to score some chicks, we somehow created a successful and well-reviewed actual pizza place!

''{Cut through static to Strong Sad standing in front of a sign that reads "Review Revue". Music plays}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Rustic and filled with old-world cardboard charm, ''{the Pizz's logo rolls in from the bottom-right}'' the Pizz serves up Strong Badian-style pizza at a ''{points upwards}'' price that won't leave a dent in your wallet!

''{A green check mark and the text "pick!" appears with a ding. Cut back through static to Strong Bad and The Cheat in Strong Badia}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Maybe we're going about this the wrong way, The Cheat. Girls don't wanna meet people in person anymore! They wanna meet 'em online!

''{Cut to a view of the Lappy 486 with a nondescript web browser open; the text "<nowiki>http://www.virtualpizz.biz</nowiki>" is typed into the location bar}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Welcome to virtualpizz.biz!

''{The screen turns green. The "Virtualpizz.biz" logo and a button that says "login" appears, a cursor moves over the "login" button and clicks it. The screen changes to show a picture of a piece of pizza with eyes, arms and legs; to the left is a field containing the text "purseaddikt89", below which are buttons for "EYES", "HAIR", "MOUTH", "NOSE", "TOPPING" and "CRUST".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Where typical college girls can customize their own slice of pizza for some serious social networking.

''{The cursor moves around and clicks the "eye" button twice, the "hair" button twice, the "nose" button three times and the "topping" button twice; the features in question change with each click. The screen then zooms in to show two slices of pizza in Strong Badia with Strong Bad. The lower left corner reads, "Pizz Points $500".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' With me!

'''COMPUTERIZED STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a monotonous version of Strong Bad's voice, lines appear in orange bubbles above him}'' Sup, Ladies. Welcome to the Pizz!

'''SLICE OF PIZZA ON THE LEFT:''' ''{in a monotonous version of Homestar Runner's voice, lines appear in red bubbles above him}'' Hey man, can I get a slice of p-roni?

'''SLICE OF PIZZA ON THE RIGHT:''' ''{in a monotonous version of the King of Town's voice, lines appear in purple bubbles above him}'' I'd like to place a pick-up order.

'''COMPUTERIZED STRONG BAD:''' You're not Daphne, you're... pizza trolls! Flame war!!

''{Both slices of pizza catch fire and start running away}''

'''SLICE OF PIZZA ON THE RIGHT:''' It burns!

'''SLICE OF PIZZA ON THE LEFT:''' Ahhhhhhhh!

'''COMPUTERIZED STRONG BAD:''' Well, I guess I should spend all these Pizz points.

''{The number of Pizz points decreases and objects appear in Strong Badia: The arcade game and couch from the Basement and Homestar's dresser and cow lamp. The right fence is then painted like the Basement, the left pink with blue dots. As he does so, his $500 in Pizz Points drops with each item, eventually ending at "$-51". Cut through static to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' With a clunky UI and a played-out avatar system, Virtualpizz.biz ''{the Virtualpizz.biz logo enters from the bottom-right; Strong Sad points upwards}'' misses the mark!

''{A red X with text "Miss!" appears over the logo with a buzzer sound.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' That, and every time I tried to add Strong Bad to my Pizz list, he'd call me Thelonious Dump!

''{Cut back through static to Strong Bad at the Lappy 486}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, I'm all outta ideas. I dunno how to get Daphne and her girls to come to my pizza joint.

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

''{Zoom out to a view of The Cheat standing to the right of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What do you mean, they're at your pizza joint? What pizza joint? The Pizz has ''competition''?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises; makes a beckoning motion with his arm}''

''{Cut to the King of Town's barbecue, which has "CHEATSA PIZZA" written on a strip of masking tape on it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' That's your pizza joint.

''{Cut to show Strong Bad and The Cheat next to the barbecue}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Grill with some tape on it.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{smiles, affirming The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lemme see this.

''{Strong Bad opens the grill; balloons and confetti come out and high pitched, excited voices are heard. Strong Bad looks surprised. Cut to a silhouette of the same scene as the balloons drift off-screen. Cut back to Strong Bad and The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{covers barbecue again, cutting out the sound effects}'' The Cheat, this is amazing! Count me in! ''{sotto voce}'' Do you guys take Pizz points?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Count me in!

''{Strong Bad opens the barbecue and jumps in; The Cheat follows him. The grill shuts behind him. The grill opens again and The Cheat partially emerges, looking dazed and covered in lipstick.}''

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

''{The Cheat goes back into the barbecue and it shuts. The King of Town enters from the left carrying a lighter, a can of gasoline, a container of lighter fluid that reads "Lite em up Dan" and a bag of charcoal that reads "King of Town Charcoal!"}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Doo doo doot doot doo...

''{Cut back to the Lappy 486. The [[New Paper]] comes down.}''

*Click on "girls" at the end to see an extra scene with Strong Sad.
:''{Strong Sad at the Review Revue}''
:'''STRONG SAD:''' Strong Bad phones this one in with ''{pointing upwards}'' Strong Bad Email 179. ''{sbemail179.html slides at the bottom-right of the screen}'' Despite a strong showing from fan favorite Strong Sad, ''{slaps his stomach}'' the email ultimately fizzles due to a heavy reliance on what can only be called "internet pizza jokes". ''{a red X and the text "MISS!" appears on top of sbemail179.html}''
*Click on "pizza joint" at the end to see an extra scene with Homestar.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*A [[wikipedia:Calzone|calzone]] consists of pizza toppings and ricotta or mozzarella cheese wrapped inside a large piece of pizza dough.
*A [[Wikipedia:Flaming (Internet)|flame war]] is a common Internet term for a heated (and hateful) argument.
*A [[Wikipedia:Troll (Internet)|Troll]] is a common Internet term used for people who join online communities just to annoy other users and incite arguments and flame wars.
*"UI" stands for [[Wikipedia:User interface#User interfaces in computing|user interface]], the design of a program (or web page) and how users can interact with it.
*An [[Wikipedia:Avatar (virtual reality)|"avatar"]] is an Internet user's representation of himself or herself—in this case, a model used in the social networking site of Virtual Pizz.
*Strong Bad's "We gotta strike while the girl is still hot" is a play on the expression regarding needing to "strike while the iron is still hot".

===Trivia===
*[http://virtualpizz.biz www.virtualpizz.biz] is a real fan-created website (by Matt Howell, as noted in an HTML comment) that was registered about half an hour after this email debuted. The site features the login page from the email, and clicking the login button brings you to this email. An [[Easter egg]], accessed by clicking on the dot in .biz, reveals a link to an [http://virtualpizz.biz/about.html about page], notably titled "[[Senor Cardgage|No Probalo!]]".
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#D|D]]".
*This is the first email since the debut of New Paper with no complaint about it from Strong Bad. This is also the first email with the New Paper printing out without any problems or setbacks.
*The bushes in The Field are rendered in a previously unseen style.
*The "Pizz Points" for each item are: $50 for [[TROGDOR!]] $150 for the [[Couch]], $50 for the stand, $1 for the [[Cow Lamp]], and $150 for each wallpaper. The total Pizz Points for all items is $551 — leaving Strong Bad $51 in debt.
*This is another instance of [[Strong Sad smiling]], which occurs while he's reviewing The Pizz.
*The [[Podstar Runner]] description for this email reads, "Strong Bad opens a pizza joint to score some chicks."

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad complained about not getting emails from college girls in [[hygiene]]. This is the second email in a row to be sent by a female college student.
*The Teen Girl Squad segment is written on an older style sheet of paper, while this email debuted months after [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 13|TGS Issue 13]] was released. The newer sheet has been used since [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11|Issue 11]].
*While in his [[The Pizz]] uniform, Homestar appears to [[Lack of Visible Body Parts|have hair]].
*In the scene in Strong Badia, the Tire and Fence is much closer to the left edge of the dirt than normal.
*This is the first Strong Bad Email with the Lappy 486 where the laptop displays a screen that contains a full-color UI with a visible mouse pointer (the Lappy normally appears to have an DOS style operating system).

===Goofs===
*The bottom squinting overlay is too far up, resulting in a small section of Homestar's eyes briefly being visible.
*When Homestar comes in to "order a pizza", his head is off-center.
*When the left slice of pizza enters the online world, the tire overlaps it.
*In the Strong Sad review Easter egg, part of the Sbemail179.html shadow is missing until Strong Sad pats his belly.
**Also, in every scene with Strong Sad, whenever he puts his hand up, most of his fingers are bent the wrong way.

('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Ryan Sterrit]], [[Matt Chapman]])

'''MIKE:''' Spray it!

'''RYAN:''' Ah.

'''MIKE:''' Ryan just used a little singer's saving grace.

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Herbal medicine for, uh, your throat.

'''RYAN:''' Soothing, soothing throat spray.

'''MATT:''' I had to get that while too, when we were making that, that Wii game, just to get by. I'm wearing a The Pizz shirt right now, everybody. I'm a total lame-o.

'''MIKE:''' And Ryan's, uh, got his Cubbies shirt on, 'cause today's the first day of the playoffs.

'''RYAN:''' Big day.

'''MIKE:''' Playing the, uh, who do we got, Dodgers?

'''RYAN:''' Dodgers.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that's right, that's gonna be a good series.

'''RYAN:''' I'd rather see them play later in the day.

'''MIKE:''' I know, that's ''{unintelligible}''.

'''MATT:''' Look at that Strong Badia fence! It has grain on it!

'''MIKE:''' I gotta remember that.

'''MATT:''' Yeah! I don't remember doing that! Look at The Ugly One! ''{Mike laughs}'' She belongs in a museum.

'''RYAN:''' Tut-uncommon?

'''MATT:''' Ryan's fave. ''{pause}'' Um, do you think, uh, do you think in that new Indiana Jones movie he says something about something belonging in a museum?

'''RYAN:''' Did anyone see that movie?

'''MATT:''' That, is that out on DVD yet?

'''MIKE:''' Soon.

'''MATT:''' It's soon, Christine asked for it.

'''RYAN:''' Soon. Before Christmas.

'''MATT:''' Whoa, it's some nice narrowed Homestar eyes.

'''MIKE:''' Gotta remember...

'''MATT:''' Ryan, we're gonna need you to start taking notes when we do these commentaries.

'''MIKE:''' We're discovering all these graphics that we made that are good that we would reuse if we knew they existed.

'''MATT:''' Oh, this is another instance of Unplugged Phone.

''{laughter}''

'''MATT:''' The Thanksgiving Lovers' pizza, let's make one.

'''MIKE:''' I know, we should do that this year.

'''RYAN:''' It sounds good.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, so...

'''MATT:''' Stuffing, cranberry sauce...

'''MIKE:''' Turkey...

'''RYAN:''' Gravy.

'''MIKE:''' Gravy.

'''MATT:''' I've wondered why turkey isn't on...

'''RYAN:''' The turkey melt at, uh, Waffle House.

'''MIKE:''' What do you, chicken, you can get chicken.

'''MATT:''' It's very good, yeah. Waffle House got with the game and added turkey.

'''MIKE:''' But that's shaved, like deli-style turkey.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' For the pizza, I think we should have...

'''RYAN:''' Like thick actual turkey pieces.

'''MIKE:''' Just yeah, like you would... like actual chunks of chicken that would be on a pizza.

'''MATT:''' Did I ever tell the story in a commentary about the last day of school in sixth grade? Everybody went to Pizza Hut, like the whole grade, and, uh, and Jamie and his parents were like there and bought a bunch of pizzas. And at the end, I remember Jamie, like, trying to collect money. ''{laughter}'' And like, we were like, "We just showed up at Pizza Hut and you had bought a bunch of pizzas! We, I don't know!"

'''MIKE:''' I don't think he got any cash from anybody.

'''MATT:''' "We're ten! You think we got cash on us?"

'''RYAN:''' He's probably keeping it, too.

''{laughter}''

'''MATT:''' Uh, the Review Revue is a good show. I think that should just replace Strong Bad Emails from now on. The Review Revue.

'''MIKE:''' A real hit. It was fun to make the Virtual Pizz. Didn't someone buy it, then, like immediately? For like half an hour there was...

'''RYAN:''' And then offer to sell it to you for a lot of money?

'''MATT:''' No, I don't think they... I think they just put it up and linked to the thing, the, the cartoon. That's a, that's a good, some good avatars, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Did I make those?

'''MATT:''' Uh... yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Tha— I didn't know if you were complimenting me, I didn't know if I had to say "thank you."

'''RYAN:''' I like "pizza trolls."

'''MATT:''' Habbo Hotel, maybe, right?

'''MIKE:''' I remember one glorious day of playing Habbo Hotel in 2000, maybe.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I think you IMed me from work, you're like, "Hey, check this out."

'''MATT:''' Yup. Hey and... lookit! Cow lamp, you can really, you can really trick out your Strong Badia zone in, in Virtual Pizz. Ooo, that's a miss!

'''MIKE:''' It's lame! Is that Credenza behind them?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, probably. It's the only plant we've ever... the only potted plant...

'''MIKE:''' Credenza's graphics could be updated.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, they're terrible! And they made them for that video game and they look exactly like our terrible drawing! ''{Mike laughs}'' And we wanted to be like, "You know, you can make it look more like a real plant."

'''MIKE:''' What was "D?" What game is that?

'''MATT:''' I don't... It was this game that I got back in the day and my computer wasn't good enough to play it, so now computers are ''too good'' to play it. Like I got, I found the CD of it the other day, the CD-ROM, rather, and tried to play it. Had a lot of, uh, full-motion video, I think.

'''MIKE:''' Would this be considered hammerspace, what's going on with the, the grill?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, like Snoopy's...

'''MIKE:''' Like he just jumps in.. okay, so that's definitely hammerspace.

'''MATT:''' Snoopy's doghouse.

'''MIKE:''' Did you know about hammerspace, Ry?

'''RYAN:''' ''{"no" sound}'' Mm mm.

'''MIKE:''' It's like when a cartoon character pulls a knife out from behind them, out of nowhere. ''{quickly}'' I learned it from the Wiki.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Gropin' around in the dark, tryin' ta find an email! Da-da-da-blue-got-an-dow!  ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email"><div>subject: Another Actor</div>
Hails and Horns Strong Bad ,\m/ 
Have you ever been watching your favorite shows and 
sequels, and suddenly realized that your favorite character 
has been unscrupulously replaced with another actor?

</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad makes a rock-ish scream in place of the emoticon.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Wait, you guys are really asking me that? We do that to you people all the time. There've been like twelve King of Towns. ''{clears screen}'' And are you telling me you've already forgotten about the original Bubs?

''{Cut to Homestar Runner in front of Bubs' Concession Stand. A silhouette resembling Bubs is seen in the foreground.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hi, Original Bubs! How's original business?

''{Cut to in front of the stand. The character behind the counter only vaguely resembles Bubs; his head is dark blue and shaped as though it has hair, both of his eyes are the same shape and size, and his teeth are straight. His body is solid orange and hunched over. He has visible rectangular hands that are the same color as his face. "BY ORIGINAL BUBS" is seen on the stand's sign. Two papers are taped to the stand that read "CHEAP THRILLS!" and "CHEAPER TRICKS!"}''

'''ORIGINAL BUBS:''' ''{his voice is lower-pitched than Bubs's and not as gravelly; openings form in his mouth as he speaks}'' Hey, Homestar. I can see you from here! ''{holds his hands apart}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's some great eyesight, Original Bubs!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But it wasn't all good eyesight and cheap prices.

''{The screen becomes inverted grayscale and spooky music starts. The camera zooms in on Original Bubs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Behind the scenes lay a thick bubbling pit of crude turmoil!

''{As the colors return to normal, the scene cuts to the King of Town and Original Bubs standing behind a table with an iced tea container, paper cups, a box of [[Swiss Cake Rolls]], and a Tupperware box of a white substance. Original Bubs is pointing at the Tupperware box with an angry expression.}''

'''ORIGINAL BUBS:''' Who ate all the mayo off of my egg salad?! ''{looks to the camera, surprised}'' And how?!

''{When the King of Town starts talking, Original Bubs glares at him}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' It's a proprietary technique I can't reveal!

'''ORIGINAL BUBS:''' This is the first and last straw! ''{points at the King of Town}'' I'm outta here, you amateurs! ''{pokes the King of Town's face twice on "you amateurs!"}''

''{Original Bubs, still pointing, walks away while amateurish music plays. For the first time, his bottom half is revealed. It is gray and similarly-shaped to Bubs's legs, but with tiny legs and pointed in the wrong direction from his upper body. There is no green stripe. He walks offscreen. Cut to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' With Original Bubs' ''{pronounced "Bubs's"}'' future uncertain, we had to come up with some pretty creative ways to write him into stories, so that viewers didn't know he was gone.

''{Cut to Original Bubs' Concession Stand. Homestar and Strong Bad are standing in front of it wearing lederhosen. Behind the counter is a large cardboard box that reads "FRIDGERATE AGAIN".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, Original Bubs, who is totally behind that refrigerator box, says ''I'' won the yodeling contest.

''{Static briefly appears, and the scene cuts to one with Homestar and Strong Bad, dressed like Canadian Mounties, speaking to a box labeled "DEESH WARSH". The trees have changed to their fall colors.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, Original Bubs, who is totally behind that dishwasher box...

''{More static, cutting to a closeup of Homestar in a poncho and sombrero, with a box that reads "KLEENLOAD" behind him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...behind that washer/dryer box...

''{More static. Now Homestar is wearing a Russian police uniform, and the box reads "HOT2O". It is nighttime, and the landscape is covered in snow.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...that hot water heater box...

''{More static. Homestar wears an African dashiki, and the stand has an upside-down shoe box labeled "[[freshley's]]" with a tower made out of toothpicks on top.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...behind that... ''{clearly confused}'' toothpick sculpture?

''{More static, cutting to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Once it became apparent that Original Bubs was gone for good, there was an interim period of rotating guest Bubs. Like when talk show hosts have surgery, or go to jail.

''{Cut to the inside of Bubs' Concession Stand. Homestar walks up. The person behind the counter is Senor Cardgage wearing an orange shirt with a green stripe across it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey there, Senator Cardgage Bubs, lemme get a manila cheese Coke!

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Oh...

''{Cut to the front of the stand.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' I should eat a pony.

''{Homestar flinches with surprise. Static cuts to Strong Bad and The Cheat at the stand, with Crack Stuntman playing Bubs. The sign has "CRACK STUNT" posted over the word "ORIGINAL".}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' ''{pops up from behind the counter, Strong Bad jumps in surprise}'' BLAAAAAAAAAAH!! What can I get? For you fine gentlemen?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{annoyed}'' Never mind, Crack Stunt-Bubs.

''{Cut to a closeup.}''

'''CRACK STUNTMAN:''' Oh... I should eat a pony.

''{Strong Bad flinches with surprise. The scene darkens.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And don't forget fan favorite,

''{Cut to an onion with Bubs's face drawn on it sitting on the stand's counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Onion Bubs.

''{A crowd can be heard cheering, with one voice screaming "Onion Bubs!" over and over. Static cuts back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Finally, we had to settle on a little known Bubs with zero experience. And it's been downhill ever since.

'''BUBS:''' ''{from offscreen}'' Ahem.

''{Cut back to show Bubs looking at Strong Bad angrily. He has the ends of his arms curled up as though they are fists and is waving them menacingly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, hey, New Bubs.

'''BUBS:''' We're gonna need a new Strong Bad in about two seconds!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reminiscing}'' Yeah, Original Bubs used to threaten me like that. It just doesn't sound the same coming out of you.

''{Bubs punches Strong Bad in the face four times and puts his hands on his hips.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, Original Bubs used to pummel me senseless like that. It just doesn't sound—

''{Bubs holds up his right "fist" menacingly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' OKAY OKAY OKAY!!!

'''BUBS:''' You tell these people ''I'm'' the original Buh... b'zuh.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right! You're the original Bubs!

''{Cut to a closeup of Bubs, no longer angry and looking at the camera.}''

'''BUBS:''' That's right! ''{The background turns orange and the following words appear above him:}'' 100% All Original Bubs! ''{And the following words appear below him:}'' If I had thumbs, I'd be sticking 'em up my armpits right now!

''{He puts the ends of his arms into his armpits as a demonstration. The camera closes out to encircle Bubs's face with a blue background.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' 100% all original Bubs! If he had thumbs, he'd be sticking 'em up his armpits right now! ''{queasy}'' Uhhhhh...

''{Cut to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But we really do replace people. Take the New Paper, for instance. Come on, New Paper, disappoint me!

''{[[New Paper]] comes down with a long "vvvvvvt" and the entire page falls off the top of the screen with an "eangt".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoop! Ahh, when it comes to disappointin', you never disappoint.

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end, click on "replace people" to see a field full of King of Town graves, including one for "Onion King of Town", which replaces the grave for "King of Town IV".
*At the end, click on the word "downhill" to see a short scene with Homestar Runner and Marzipan.
:''{Open at the Field. Homestar Runner is standing with a can by his feet}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sigh}''
:''{Homestar Runner kicks the can to the right of screen as Marzipan enters}''
:'''MARZIPAN:''' What's the matter, Homestar?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I miss Original Bubs.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, Strong Bad made all that stuff up.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You can't make up eyesight that good. ''{Marzipan stares flatly}'' He could always see me ''{sobbing}'' from over there.

==Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*The ,\m/ emoticon is intended to represent the "[[Wikipedia:Corna|rock horns]]".
*Bubs' line, "If I had thumbs, I'd be sticking 'em up my armpits right now!" is in jest of a gesture sometimes referred to as the "[[Wikipedia:Type of gesture#The "peacock"|peacock]]", in which a person, in smugness or self-pride, hooks his or her thumbs behind his or her [[Wikipedia:Suspenders|suspenders]], regardless of whether they are being worn or not.
*The phrase "I should eat a pony" is probably a parody of the phrase "I could eat a horse", a figure of speech used to illustrate extreme hunger.

=== Trivia ===
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#SWOTL|SWOTL]]".
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad discusses Original Bubs".

===Remarks===
* Crack Stuntman has thin black outlines and no shading, although he is shown here to be in the main [[Homestar Runner Universe]] in which everything is drawn with shading and thick, colored outlines.
*Onion Bubs has differently-shaped eyes, like the real Bubs, instead of two identical eyes like Original Bubs, on which it was supposed to be based.
**In a similar vein, Senor Cardgage is wearing a green belt, and Crack Stuntman is wearing a green undershirt; Bubs's green belt is a feature not present on Original Bubs.
*[[New Paper]]'s "Click here to email Strong Bad" link is fully functional until it falls off the screen.
* In the [[TV Time Toons Menu]]'s [[HR:menuswfs/menu sbemail177.swf|preview of the e-mail]], The Lappy's screen has nothing on it, and is missing its usual reflection.

===Goofs===
[[Image:neck disconnected - original.png|thumb|[[Disconnected]] again?]]
*On the second punch (when Strong Bad's head pops up) his head is for a very brief moment disconnected, mainly around at the right side of the neck.
*At the line "And are you telling me you've already forgotten about the original Bubs?", if you listen closely, you can hear a short "skip" in the sound between the end of the previous sentence, and the beginning of this one. This may be due to [[Matt Chapman]] recording the sentences separately.
**This also happens when Strong Bad says "pretty creative ways to write him into stories", between the words "to" and "write".

===Inside References===
[[Image:Sketchbook_Eleven.PNG|thumb|Original Bubs (in the bottom left corner)]]
*Homestar's lederhosen are from [[Main Page 2]].
*Original Bubs resembles a preliminary sketch of Bubs as seen in the [[Sketchbook (museum)|Sketchbook in the Museum]].
*The "original" Bubs' Concession Stand sign is similar to the design used in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]], [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Where's The Cheat?]].
*Bubs saying that he has no thumbs is a reference to his [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Other|lack of visible fingers]].
*The premise of this email, that Bubs is a character in what equates to a TV show, is a [[fourth wall break]].
*The items at the back of [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] in this toon are the same ones from [[A Jumping Jack Contest]]. Crack Stuntman's line "What can I get for you fine gentlemen?" echoes Bubs' similar line from the same toon.
*Homestar [[Kicking a Can|kicks a can]] in an Easter Egg.

===Real-World References===
*This email spoofs the [[Wikipedia:List of television show casting changes#Named forms of casting change|Darrin syndrome]], when an actor in a series is replaced without explanation, a prominent example being the replacement of [[Wikipedia:Dick York|Dick York]] with [[Wikipedia:Dick Sargent|Dick Sargent]] in the role of Darrin Stephens on ''[[Wikipedia:Bewitched|Bewitched]]''. Similarly to in the email, shortly after York left the show but before Sargent took his place, Darrin was frequently referred to but was never present on screen.
*Homestar asking Senor Cardgage for manila cheese Coke is a play on the various flavored colas, especially [[Wikipedia:Coca-Cola Vanilla|Vanilla Coke]].

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

'''BUBS:''' Hey, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, Bubs!

'''BUBS:''' I thought I should chime in on this one.

'''MIKE:''' I think you should.

'''BUBS:''' Yeah, what do you think I should chime in?

'''MIKE:''' Uhh, just wait a minute, let me give you an intro here, maybe give you a proper introduction, and then you can chime in.

'''BUBS:''' Who am I?

'''MIKE:''' Well, ladies and gentlemen, here in the sound booth, recording commentary for Strong Bad Email 170—something , we've got none other than Bubs!

'''BUBS:''' Mine name ''{long and drawn out}'' Buuuuuuuuuubs!

'''MIKE:''' So, your most famous line, Bubs, is uh, "Everybody knows me, my name Cornbread", right? Is that correct?

'''BUBS:''' That is true!

'''MIKE:''' Isn't that your catchphrase?

'''BUBS:''' It — it sure better be!

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

'''BUBS:''' Who's that impostor? Look at that fool! Square fingered—old naggle tooth!

'''MIKE:''' He's got the same kind of teeth you have. Are you naggle tooth?

'''BUBS:''' Aww, look at those teeth cover the whole face.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, ''naggle tooth''.

'''BUBS:''' Exactly!

'''MIKE:''' What do you call your kind of teeth?

'''BUBS:''' I got jimmy teeth!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Uh, so this guy's legs, you should check out this guy's legs in a second.

'''BUBS:''' This is when this turns into real prepostery.

'''MIKE:''' If you think you've got small, tiny legs —

'''BUBS:''' Look at that! Oh, dook a doo, you look like Rocko's Modern Life or somethin'!

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

'''BUBS:''' Some kind of old Nicktoon from 1994...berry.

'''MIKE:''' Umm... So, but, what do you think Homestar and Strong Bad are doing during this sequence where they're wearing different costumes?

'''BUBS:''' I dunno, it musta been, like, National Anthem Week on the Homestar Runner progrum.

'''MIKE:''' Tuesday is Canada Day, Wednesday is Mexico Day—

'''BUBS:''' I never sold Kleen Load washers!

'''MIKE:''' — Thursday is Russia Day, and Kenya Day is Friday!

'''BUBS:''' Man, Kleen Load washers... are the worst quality you can buy.

'''MIKE:''' What kind of washers were they?

'''BUBS:''' Kleen Load.

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

'''BUBS:''' With a K and a double E!

'''MIKE:''' Do you still—

'''BUBS:''' And I've never sold Mallinilliketese Cokes.

'''MIKE:''' I was gonna ask about Manila Cheese Cokes. I, uhh, I've never gotten one at your Stand.

'''BUBS:''' Look at that old raggedy sign up there. Look like, Mike Chapman made it, maybe like, 1999.

'''MIKE:''' Yep, that's—

'''BUBS:''' 2000.

'''MIKE:''' Correct.

'''BUBS:''' Oh! Oh! This is my favorite style!

'''MIKE:''' ''{applauding}'' Yay!

'''BUBS:''' Look at those jimmy teeth! That onion has some serious jimmy teeth!

'''MIKE:''' Is that what you, when you go out to use the restroom, does Onion Bubs cover for you?

'''BUBS:''' Every time. Sometimes I take him to the restroom. ''{pause}'' Oh, look at that, look at that pugilistic style! I learned that at the gym!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah? You go to the boxing gym a lot?

'''BUBS:''' Mott Gore's gym.

'''MIKE:''' Mott Gore's gym?

'''BUBS:''' Yeah. Oh, Mott. Look at that! Look at my barrel chest came out in that lean-to. I did a little— he taught me to do the lean-to.

'''MIKE:''' When you did that lean-to, is that the same pose that you have when slide out of the conveyor belt in the chair email?

'''BUBS:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Ziiiiiiiiip!

'''BUBS:''' Except I had more of a barrel chest!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, and this part's kinda creepy, you put put your thumbs, quote unquote, in your quote unquote armpits.

'''BUBS:''' Yeah. Eugh, that hurt.

'''MIKE:''' Looks kinda like two little butts came— your armpits turned into two little butts.

'''BUBS:''' Is— it's true. ''{pause}'' I'm done.

'''MIKE:''' Okay. I— uhh, I can finish this one.

'''BUBS:''' See ya later!

''{crashing noises are heard}''

'''MIKE:''' Bye, Bubs! Bye, Bubs! He really did just leave. And the lamp fell over.

=== Fun Facts ===
* Bubs' "Cornbread" catchphrase refers to [[A Decemberween Pageant]].
* ''[[Wikipedia:Rocko's Modern Life|Rocko's Modern Life]]'' was a television show on [[Nickelodeon]]. Rocko was an Australian wallaby who immigrated to the United States.
* The term "naggle tooth" is a derivative of "snaggle tooth", which is a tooth that is either broken or not in alignment with the other teeth.
* Bubs mentions the Homestar Runner [[progrum]].

'''Page Title:''' Hey! Some pretty good ones this year!

==Transcript==

''{A screen comes down and the lights dim. The first image appears, showing a person dressed as the Blue Laser Commander.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man, you guys remember that Cheat Commandos Halloween special where Blue Laser Commander tried to trick-or-treat at Fort Knox so they'd give him all the gold, but when they got there, the receptionist just had, like, a bowl of Smarties on her desk, and he told her that he hated her face—

''{A speech bubble appears saying "I JUST '''HATE''' YOUR FACE SO MUCH!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —''and'' her kitten sweater!

''{Another speech bubble appears saying "AND THAT SWEATER MAKES ME RETCH!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Man'', that guy's a born leader!

''{The image switches to a person with a red shirt that's bunched up around the sleeves. The shirt has an asymmetrical paper star taped to it. A paper shaped like Homestar's face is visibly being held by a hand near the person's neck.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sadly, I have a feeling this kid actually had a ''lot'' of help from his parents with this costume. Like, they stayed up all night workin' on it... spent a lot of money... and "hold this in front of your face" was ''still'' the best they could do.

''{The image switches to a man dressed as a Cold One, drinking from a glass bottle.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A Cold One drinking a Cold One?! That's cannibalism, man! Or at least... Cold One-ibalism!

''{The image switches to two young women in CGNU shirts. Each is holding a golf club and a sign; one sign reads "EVERYBODY TO THE LIMIT!" and the other "GO DUMPLES".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Check it out! It's the Lady Dumples Golf Club Team! Man, I ''seriously'' gotta start that fake university! It doesn't get any hotter than watching young co-eds beat the crap out of George Foreman grills with a nine-iron!

''{The image switches to a small child wearing a bee costume and a Strong Bad mask.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey! Everybody knows ''I'm'' the bee! What are ya, some kind of cute baby? ...Oh. You are. Then... carry on, coolest parents in the world!

''{The image switches to people dressed as Coach Z and (a very plastic-looking) Homestar. A beat starts.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rapping, imitating Coach Z}'' My name's Coach Z, and I got a low crotch! ''{imitating Homestar}'' My name's Homestaw and I'm wocking the spot! ''{imitating Coach Z}'' Everybody knows I'm the rapping man! ''{imitating Homestar}'' Evewybody knows I'm a painted twash can!

''{The beat stops and the image switches to a man wearing a Limozeen-like wig and holding a Wii Guitar Hero controller.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, Chuzz Palaroncini! Still livin' in the basement of his parents' basement.

''{The image switches to a scene of people dressed in various poor costumes in front of a cardboard Bubs' Concession Stand. In order from left to right, they are dressed as Strong Mad, Strong Sad, Bubs, Strong Bad, Marzipan, Homestar, and Coach Z. "Coach Z" is also holding a dog with a yellow spotted sweater, resembling The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' These people got the whole freakin' neighborhood involved! And clearly entrusted the Strong Mad costume—

''{The image switches to a different image of the person dressed as Strong Mad. The costume is a painted cardboard box with arm holes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' — to Patches Barfjacket, the local drifter.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{doing his "shady drifter" voice}'' Hey, this box is my house! I'm tryin' to get me a sandwich or somethin'! What's a website?

''{The image switches to a girl in a shirt with an image that resembles Strong Bad's body, and a hard hat with part of Strong Bad's mask on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, why did you— But habbida— The hard-hatted— Rebecca said— The shirt is— I can't even think of anything to say about this conumdrum. This counts as a Homsar costume. And speaking of...

''{The image switches to a boy in a shirt with "homsar" taped to it. A piece of paper shaped like Homsar's hat is hovering over his head, presumably attached to the door behind him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Homsar}'' AaAaAaAh tape my hat to the door! ''{normally}'' Can you explain to me how you went out trick-or-treating in this costume? I mean, did you take the whole door with you? ...That'd be pretty impressive, actually. That'd earn you a full Thnikka if you came to my house.

''{The image switches to a person dressed as Scantron.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! An incredibly faithful Scantron costume?!

''{A paper with Scantron on it moves into the image.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nice work! This guy's the coolest loser I've never met!

''{The paper disappears, and the image switches to two men in shirts that read "d n'd greg" and "sci-fi greg". "D N'D Greg" is holding what appears to be a Dungeons & Dragons character sheet. "Sci-Fi Greg" is holding a Firefly DVD set.}''

'''SCI-FI GREG:''' The proportions are all wrong! And his chest plate didn't even have the power converter!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why do I get the feeling you guys didn't really have to "dress up" to be Sci-Fi and D N'D Greg?

''{The image switches to a man dressed as a skinny King of Town, in front of an open refrigerator door. The datestamp in the corner reads "OCT 30 2008".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' October thirtieth, 2008, two PM. Dressed up as the King of Town again today, and stood in front of the open fridge for a few hours. I don't think the medication is working.

''{The image switches to a person in a cardboard Trogdor costume.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, that's a pretty awesome Trogdor costume! Look at those corrugated V's! Burninate them brand new deck stairs, Troggy!

''{The image switches to a person in a sloppy Coach Z costume. The picture was taken in a bathroom.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Augh! No! I don't even wanna know what's going on in this picture!

''{The image switches to a topless man in a papier-mache Strong Bad mask and inflatable boxing gloves.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Augh! No! I don't even wanna know what's going on in this picture!

''{The image switches to a boy wearing a Homestar shirt and white face paint. He's also wearing glasses and a horned helmet similar to Homestar's. He's in front of a television with an image of John Cleese on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, Homestar wearing his viking helmet, and John Cleese. An age-old Halloween tradition in the Dorkelson household.

''{The image switches to a person in a lopsided Strong Bad mask and boxing gloves, as well as a white shirt.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's up, eyeball-chin? How many mail boxes did ''you'' run into on Halloween?

''{The image switches to a person in a Homestar costume. The mouth of the costume is wide open so that the person's face can look out of it. There are people in the background who "appear" to be being eaten because of the camera angle. The scene is in the park in the middle of the day.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, looks like bass-mouth Homestar's about to eat himself a bunch of three-in-the-afternoon trick-or-treaters!

''{The images switches to a heavy-set man in faded Strong Bad face paint.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I... think this guy might have eaten me and sweated my mask out onto his face. That's one way to dress up as Strong Bad for Halloween.

''{A "Back" button appears.}''

Talk:Fan Costumes '08

2010-03-21T00:28:49Z

Onamuji: /* Smarties' dubious relevance */ forgot is.

==Strong Bad's "mask"==
While discussing the last costume Strong Bad says "my mask", even though he said before he doesn't wear a mask and that is his face.
: Not the first time he's called it a mask. He's pretty inconsistent on the point. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:07, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

:So what? A guy can't vary his words? I mean, where I come from, people use at least four different words for feet, two or three for hands, some words for head, practically every part has different names. Also, Strong Bad is aware of the fact that his face (though it is his face) is a mask, as well as he's aware of his hands being boxing gloves. They are still his hands and face, but since they -at the very least- RESEMBLE said items, why shouldn't he mention it once in a while? --[[User:Cass from Germany|Cass from Germany]] 17:48, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
:: I'd like to agree, and also point out the lace lift from looking old. [[User:Pointy King|Pointy King]] 17:59, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

== He is the bee ==

Strong Bad also said he was the Bee in "sensitive to bees." So, should the remark really even "bee" there? *Clever! +1*
: Anyhow, in the Carve-nival, Strong Bad is wearing a bee costume under his Homestar costume... --{{User:AwkwardFire/sig}} 19:09, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

==Dorkelson???==

Should "Dorkelson" count as an instance of [[-erson]]? Seems pretty close to me... {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 19:12, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
:And, I think the only reason it isn't Dorkerson is, well, because it doesn't quite roll off the tongue. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}}
::It's probably referencing [[IMDb:tt0101223|this]]. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 20:34, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

== Easter Egg ==

The Peacey P "goof" should really be listed as an Easter egg, as it was clearly intended to be one. We have listed things as Easter eggs that could only be accessed through decompilers or search bars before. For example, "Nice try, Dodongo!" The goof is the non-working button, not the Peacey P sequence itself.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:51, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
: Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:22, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
::It should be under Goofs because it's a defunct easter egg that was intended be accessed by conventional means (as in, the link is present but non-functional). At the very least, it shouldn't be under Remarks, where it's currently housed. --[[User:MNGoldenEagle|MNGoldenEagle]] 01:27, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

== Identities of people in this toon ==

The list of editors featured in this toon is growing quite a lot. Most of them have added themselves without proof. We should use the same standard here that we use for sbemail emails: if it can't be proven, then it shouldn't be in the article. Considering that such a proof is not hard, we should be very strict on this.

Now, DorianGray is not only a sysop, but has also shown other users his photo before the toon came up. The other people that were listed were:
<blockquote>
*The person in the first Homestar picture is user [[User:Absorr|Absorr]]
*The boy in the Homsar costume is user [[User:ALJ123456|ALJ123456]].
*The topless man in the Strong Bad papier-mâché mask is user [[User:Dom|Dom]].
*The heavy-set man in the Strong Bad facepaint is JunkyardWillieFan.

Is it just me or does the right "go dumples"girl look a lot like the "modestly-hot homsar"-girl from last year?

Is anyone with me? Don't have any hard evidence though... Does anyone know who any of the three are?

: They're ''different candies''. The American ones are chalky and mildly fruit-flavored; the European ones are chocolate; apparently, they're more like M&Ms. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:34, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

::: The fact says he probably ''is'' referring to the American (not Wonka; Ce De) Smarties. Perhaps you misread it? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:43, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

== Smarties' dubious relevance ==

The explanation about Smarties currently looks like this:
:When Strong Bad mentions a "bowl of Smarties," he is likely referring to the chalky candy rolls, because Nestlé Smarties are not distributed in the United States.

Isn't it precedent that the Wiki is to be written from an American perspective, to reflect the website's origins? This explanation seems almost entirely unnecessary to me, as I don't know of anyone in the US who doesn't equate "Smarties" with the roll candy, not the candy-coated chocolate. If anything, can't we just have it read something like "Smarties are a chalky, fruit-flavored candy" etc., rather than even mentioning the Nestle product? 
Mind, I'm not trying to be xenophobic here or anything. My point is, the current fact is almost definitely worded for a non-American audience. I feel like there's been precedent for this somewhere on the Wiki before, and I just can't remember it. --{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 00:28, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

==Strong Bad's "mask"==
While discussing the last costume Strong Bad says "my mask", even though he said before he doesn't wear a mask and that is his face.
: Not the first time he's called it a mask. He's pretty inconsistent on the point. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:07, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

:So what? A guy can't vary his words? I mean, where I come from, people use at least four different words for feet, two or three for hands, some words for head, practically every part has different names. Also, Strong Bad is aware of the fact that his face (though it is his face) is a mask, as well as he's aware of his hands being boxing gloves. They are still his hands and face, but since they -at the very least- RESEMBLE said items, why shouldn't he mention it once in a while? --[[User:Cass from Germany|Cass from Germany]] 17:48, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

The Peacey P "goof" should really be listed as an Easter egg, as it was clearly intended to be one.

The goof is the non-working button, not the Peacey P sequence itself.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:51, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

== Identities of people in this toon ==

The list of editors featured in this toon is growing quite a lot. Most of them have added themselves without proof. We should use the same standard here that we use for sbemail emails: if it can't be proven, then it shouldn't be in the article. Considering that such a proof is not hard, we should be very strict on this.

Now, DorianGray is not only a sysop, but has also shown other users his photo before the toon came up. The other people that were listed were:
<blockquote>
*The person in the first Homestar picture is user [[User:Absorr|Absorr]]
*The boy in the Homsar costume is user [[User:ALJ123456|ALJ123456]].
*The topless man in the Strong Bad papier-mâché mask is user [[User:Dom|Dom]].
*The heavy-set man in the Strong Bad facepaint is JunkyardWillieFan.
*The person in the Homestar with his viking helmet costume is user [[User:abcxyq|abcxyq]].
</blockquote>

A simple question: how should one word the Bubs RWRs? The Wiki strives to be family-friendly, while both his first line of the toon (regarding the brain in his afro) and his line in the Easter Egg refer to Pulp Fiction, both parts of which are...less than family-friendly. I thought perhaps it could read:

To Whom It May Concern; (aka Strong Bad) 
I'm getting married in August. I'm looking to hire a "videographer" to videotape our wedding. Could you use all your skills and powers and take on such a task? I want it to look real nice. 
Robert McSwain 
Video Media Technologist

{{compeemailend}}

''{Strong Bad reads "aka" as written, "and take on" as "to take on", and "ITS Department" as "Iiiit's Da Partment!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well McSwobert, that works out perfectly, because "videographer" is just one of my many professions that have quotes around them.

''{clears screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm also a

''{as Strong Bad lists the professions, a photo of him appears with the name at the bottom, and they each show him in the proper attire, and wielding a chainsaw. For "fireman", the chainsaw is on fire.}''

"heart surgeon," a "licensed technician," a "poultry farmer," and a "fireman." And you say you're getting married in August? So like, 2 months ago? Also, not a problem. My videograph will have so many fancy wipes, fades, and transitions, your wife will never even know you guys aren't in it! Take a look at my demo reel.

''{cut through static to a miniature screen of Strong Bad in The Field. It disjointedly gets larger until it fills the entire screen}

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hello there. I'm famed quotation marked videographer Strong Bad. ''{as Strong Bad says the following effects, they are applied}'' Do you like quick zooms and solarizing effects? What about diamondy transitions, pixelated wipes, or slow fade-outs? All these effects and more will make your cherished event that happened last month be cherished forever.

''(diamond cut to Locker Room}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Jimmy's lacrosse debacle never looked so good.

''(Static cut to Strong Bad's shoes at The Field)''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Unintelligent mumbles}'' Little Jimmy is playing lacrosse! ''{More mumbles}'' Oh, he scores the winning lacrosse point! ''{A whistle is heard}''

''{Wipe to three lacrosse sticks being held in the air}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, and his dad was totally there and not at Applebee's! ''{The camera lowers to reveal The Cheat holding the sticks.}'' Good shot, John-Jimmy!

''{static cut to The Garage. There are four VCRs stacked on the table. Strong Bad is holding a CD with "Seedy Rom" written on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Add panache, pizzazz, and pep with a Seedy Rom work of animated clip art and copyright-free classical music.

''{Cut to a title screen reading "Video Evidence of Homestar & Marzipan's 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 10th Anniversary Celebration!!!"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Are you sure this will work, aka Strong Bad?

''{Cut to Homestar in his living room}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whispered}'' Definitely! Just act like you're celebrating!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dancing and throwing confetti}'' Oh, twice! I'm a lavish gift-giver!

''{Cut to Strong Bad in The Garage}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{As he says them, a tape with what he said comes from each of the VCRs. When he says Droopy drawers, a photo of [[Lil' Strong Sad]]'s backside appears.}'' Weddings? Bar-mitzfvfahs? Bar-Fvfights? First steps? Droopy ''{snickers}'' drawers? You name it! I'll videographafize it!

''{Cut to Strong Bad in a cowboy outfit at a table}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a faux-cowboy accent}'' Take family meat loaf night back to the ooold west! ''{normally}'' Did somebody say

''{cut to a meatloaf on the table when Strong Bad says sepia tones, it changes to sepia.}''

... ''sepia tones?''

'''VOICES:''' Uh, no. I don't... think so. I definitely didn't.

''{Cut to Strong Bad in the kitchen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And with our new sweet sweet suite of video toasters, your precious memories will have titles that defy the very laws of reason.

''{Cut to a picture of a decoration. "Your Wedding Video" appears onscreen. The word "Your" twirls around in 3D, while a rocket sound plays. Cut to a picture of a rose. "The Union of ROBERT McSWAIN: VIDEO MEDIA TECHNOLOGIST and THE LADY HE MARRIED IN AUGUST" appears onscreen.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hopefully that will be enough to keep your wife from wondering why her video media technologist husband wasn't smart enough to think about putting a video camera on a tripod across the room and press record.

''{Cut to Computer Room}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But you could probably also get away with just putting a label that says, 'WEDDIN TAPE' on a VHS cassette since none-out-of-none couples actually ever watch their wedding video. Unless of course a baby drops an f-bomb, somebody pukes in their toupee, or Grandmaw Auntpaw rolls down the stairs in her wheelchair. In which case you simply post it online and turn it into internet gold! And I can ''definitely'' arrange for some of that stuff to happen at your wedding, if you enlist my services as an "event coordinator." ''{stops typing; the words "event coordinator" shift slightly on each syllable}'' A-heh heh heh, heh heh heh-HEM.

*:'''STRONG BAD:''' My state-of-the-art camera has a state-of-the-art microphone mounted right next to the giant videotape motor. So you're guaranteed to hear mostly that, and not what Grandmaw Auntpaw just said on her hundred-and-ninth birthday.

===Remarks===
*While the e-mail says "Could you use your skills and powers and take on...", Strong Bad actually says "Could you use your skills and powers to take on..."
*Clicking on "internet gold" originally linked directly to the YouTube video.

===Goofs===
*After the camera zooms out in Marzipan's kitchen, the cabinet in the background is gone.

'''Page Title:''' Compy Compé

==Transcript==
''{Strong Bad is at the Compé, this time with a Where's An Egg? II wallpaper.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oh, people can you feel me? To e-mail me? Also, please don't try to really feel me. ''{double-clicks on the strongabad_email.exe icon}''

{{compeemail|1=
Dear Strong Bad, 
You are the superest, awesomest guy ever. That 
makes you sawesome. Do you have a Strong Badian 
dictionary fo your own words? 
Sincerely Yours, 
Costrick
}}
''{"fo" is pronounced as written. Strong Bad hesitates a little when saying "Costrick"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Course I do Cross-stitch. ''{rapping}'' You think the regular dictionary can handle all the quotient quotables I'm droppin' on ''{he does not type the word "a"}'' daily basis? Those dictionaries are only good for helping ''{cut to a scene of The Cheat in the bathroom, standing on two dictionaries, and brushing his teeth}'' The Cheat brush his teeth ''{cut to a scene outside in The Field, Homestar walking in frame right}'' and helping Homestar lose his teeth.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hurl!

''{Strong Bad throws the dictionary at Homestar's head}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Tooth! ''{a giant tooth flies out of Homestar's mouth and lands on the ground. Homestar leans over to look at it}''

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' For something this sawesome, I had to once again call upon the finest name in names to put in front of book titles. And thus was born unto the world, ''{cut to a close up of the book}'' ''Count Longardeaux's Strong Badian Jerktionary Fo' My Own Words!''

''{Strong Bad puts a [[sticky note]] on the book}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quickly}'' Or ''Count Longardeaux's Strong Badian talkwords for saying from your mouth'', for short.

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' We all know the main problem with dictionaries is that there are too many words, and not enough butterscotch sauce! So I went ahead and dribble-drabbled a little boodroscotch all over it. Kinda like a frou frou dessert ''{cut to a slow zoom of the book on a plate, drizzled with sauce; music is playing in the background}'' at a chichi restaurant, restaurant.

'''OLD LADY:''' Oh, that looks sinfully—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{record scratch}'' Shut up, shut up, lady! The sauce makes the pages stick together—

''{Cut to a scene with Strong Sad trying to read the sauce covered book, flipping pages back and forth}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' which makes for way less words!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey, this dictionary goes straight from "crap-valanche" to "puke-valanche"!

''{Cut to a close-up of the book, this time opened to the "Suffix" section}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And that brings us to the Suffix section. ''{each "suffix" is highlighted in turn}'' -valanche, -quake, -rnado, -onsoon.

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing behind the butterscotch covered book}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All the great natural disaster suffixes are included!

''{Cut to a sample from the book}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{smoothly}'' This suckquake of a movie is a complete wastenado of my seven bucksonsoon.

''{Diamond wipe to Strong Bad smiling in front of many colored lines, disco music playing in the background}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now ''that's'' talking like a Strong Bad dude!

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' For some words, words alone are not enough to define them. That's why my dictionary has scratch n' sniff stickers!! I mean, how are you gonna define a word like ''{cut to Strong Bad opening the book to the P's}'' paunch, without smelling ''{Strong Bad puts a sticker with a Strong Sad caricature that reads "Paunch it up!"}'' Strong Sad's considerable paunch!

''{Cut to Strong Sad in his room, arms akimbo, angrily standing in front of the open book}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' My paunch does not smell! ''{Strong Sad slaps his body to punctuate the last words}''

''{Cut to all the main characters gathered on The Stage}''

'''ALL:''' Yes it does!

''{Crowd claps and the curtain closes}''

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Not to be outdone by that no-talent schwa sound, the Strong Badian Dictionary features several gutteral utterances, or you guessed it ''{Cut to a "Family Feud" display which already reads "Zsa Zsa" and "Kneepads". A quick scale is heard when "Gutterences" is revealed, followed by a buzzer}'' gutterences ''{cut back to the Compé}'' that are used to express complete disinterest in specific people.

''{Cut to Strong Bad twirling a football, screen right in the locker room. Coach Z enters screen left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' There's the "pffgh!" sound ''{tattered piece of paper comes down}'' for Coach Z.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, Strong B'd! Wanna hear about my glory days on the fierld?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pffgh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The "aungh!" sound ''{Strong Bad remains in the same place, but the scenery changes to a fenced area, with Marzipan holding Carol and standing in front of a microphone}'' for Marzipan.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{amplified}'' Wanna hear my cover of "Glory Days"?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aungh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And of course, the ever popular ''{scene shift again, this time to the Basement of the Brothers Strong, with Strong Sad sitting on the couch}'' "graaauuughnck!!" sound for you-know-who.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Talk?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Graaauuughnck!!

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' In order to keep the power of the Strong Badian language from falling into the hands of lesser minds, I've built booby-traps right into the dictionary. Nothing gets rid of Homestar for a few hours like an endless "see also" loop.

''{Cut to Homestar, looking fatigued, and wearing night clothes, reading the dictionary at night in the kitchen}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' "Crap for brains", see also "carp for brains". See also "brain for brains". See also "crap for brains". See also— Man, this is the best choose my own adventure I've ever play-read!

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And there you have it Caustic. The Strong Badian dictionary. From A:ab-abber to Z:zawesome. ''{quickly}'' Available where ever fine made up reference books are sold. ''{normally}'' Oh! And speaking of, The Cheat's probably done brushing his teeth now. Better go see if ''someone'' can go pee-pees in um potty all by hwimswelf. Ugh! The Cheat training... what're ya gonna do?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Give him the goods, Compé...-per.

''{Strong Bad gets up, making [[The Geddup Noise]], and the [[Compé-per]] appears. Crossfades to a dictionary page entitled "Today's Entries".}''

==Fun Facts==
===Today's Entries===
* '''boodroscotch ''n.-''''' a sweet, boodro-based sauce that doubles as a kudrow-based adhesive.
* '''dribble-drabble ''v.-''''' the act of making frozen cheescake appear delicious by scribbling raspberry sauce over it.
* '''gutterances ''n.-''''' low growly noises made to express utter disdain at another person's very existence.
* '''hwimswelf ''n.-''''' The Cheat's carpet & couch and satin sheets ruining owndangself.
* '''sawesome ''adj.-''''' not unlike having the qualities of an awesome sauce.
* '''zawesome ''adj.-''''' see crap-for-brains.

===Explanations===
*A [[Wikipedia:quotient|quotient]] is the result of a [[wikipedia:division (mathematics)|division]] operation.
*[[Wiktionary: frou-frou|Frou frou]] (usually spelled with a dash) means fancy. [[Wiktionary:Chichi|Chichi]] means trendy or chic. Both words are derived from [[French]].
*A [[Wikipedia:schwa|schwa]], written as ə, is an unstressed, toneless vowel present in several languages, including English.

===Trivia===
*The natural disaster suffixes Strong Bad mentioned are for "avalanche", "earthquake", "tornado", and "monsoon". Homestar adds "forest fire" as another natural disaster suffix in one of the Easter eggs.
*The page Strong Bad adds the paunch scratch-and-sniff sticker to reads:
<blockquote><big>P</big> 
paunch ''(paw-nch) n.'' 
:umm...er... 
 
pukernado ''(pyook-er-nay-doh) n.'' 
:a cyclonic upchucking 
 
pukevalanche ''(pyook-vuh-lanch) n.'' 
:a lot, lot, lot of the puke</blockquote>

===Remarks===
*Strong Sad himself can be seen behind Pom Pom when the main characters protest that Strong Sad's "paunch smells." His body is even moving, indicating that he is saying "Yes it does."
*When Homestar flips from "crap-for-brains" to "carp-for-brains", he flips from near the end of the dictionary to near the beginning, even though both words start with C. He looks up "brain-for-brains" near the end of the dictionary as well. Also, when he flips from one section to another, one section has a "C" on the page, and the other has a "P", just as it did in the Strong Sad scene.
*There is a double-space between "little" and "boodroscotch", and between "droppin'" and "on".
*Although the suffix "-rnado" is shown, the narrator and Homestar use it without the "r" when they say "wastenado."
*The suffix "-onsoon" (hinting at [[Wikipedia:Monsoon|monsoon]]) does not fit in the list because monsoon is actually not considered to be a natural disaster.
*Coach Z's body (from his [[Coach Z Evolution|sixth design]]) is hidden in the Flash File.

===Goofs===
[[File:glovegoof.png|thumb|right|Disconnected Again?]]
*Strong Bad doesn't type the "a" in "droppin' on ''a'' daily basis."
*In the definition for "boodroscotch", the word "that" is repeated.
*The Back button leads to the [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons menu]], instead of the [[Strong Bad Email menu]].
*When Strong Bad puts his left hand on his dictionary, his left arm and hand is down, but a boxing glove can be seen held up. Also, when his left hand is on the dictionary, a small area of his left hand (on his left arm) can be seen.
*In the definition for "dribble-drabble", the third "e" in "cheesecake" is missing (though it's possible this was intentional in order to fit the whole definition in two lines).

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad's desktop appears to advertise a sequel to [[Where's an Egg?]]
*One of the dictionaries The Cheat is seen standing on is labeled "Thick n' Nasty DICTIONARY", a reference to the Thick n' Nasty burger seen in [[Blubb-O's Commercial]].
*This is another instance of [[Shut Up, Lady]]. Her quote "That looks sinful" directly reflects a quote in [[bottom 10]].
*Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]] when saying "Now that's talkin' like a Strong Bad dude!"

*The sound clip of an audience cheering and an unseen character screaming "[[Onion Bubs]]!" repeatedly is taken directly from [[original]].

*"Carp for brains" and "Brain for brains" are references to [[personal favorites]] and [[invisibility]], respectively.
*[[Homestar's teeth|Homestar's tooth]] falls out of his mouth.
*Strong Sad and Homsar mention a [[puking|Puke-valanche]].
*The "cross stitch" resembles [[Needlepoint]].
*On the scoreboard it mentions [[Team Kneepads]].
*The Cheat is mentioned to pee by his [[Own Dang X|owndangself]].
*Homsar's quote is similar to one by [[Senor Cardgage]] in [[fan club]].
*The "wastenado of my seven bucks-forest fire" remarks are similar to [[best/worst X bucks I ever spent]].
*The scene where all the characters appear on the stage to shout in unison is taken from [[rock opera]].
*Homestar remarks that the dictionary is the [[Best/Worst X ever|best choose my own adventure he's ever play-read]].
*The easter egg in the Movie Theater references a similar scene with Homestar in [[the movies]].

Onamuji: /**/Geeks and...what now?

==Cleanup==
I made some edits to the transcript using the DVD, but it still needs to be expanded a little and double checked. Also, someone (probably TBird) needs to list any changes that for sure are different between the original and the DVD version. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:40, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

:Shpping to Canada may take a while, but as soon as my copy arrives I'll do what I can. Feel free to clean it up however you wish in the meantime. The only thing I've got up on you is my visual memories, which aren't really that photographic, especially eight months later. You can probably note the obvious audio differences as well as I can. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 02:43, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

''This article is about the [[Toons|toon]] For other uses, see [[Flashforward (disambiguation)]].''

''This article is about the [[Toons|toon]]. For the other uses, see [[Flashforward (disambiguation)]].''

Is there some grammatical rule that picks the right disambiguation? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 05:56, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
:Or, basically, do we have a non-the <nowiki>{{for}}</nowiki> template? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::I think they are ''both'' grammatical, and "for other uses" is what is used at WP, so I like that one. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 06:00, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

== Geeks and...what now? ==

I just got the Everything Elses a month or so ago, so my apologies for being about three years late on this comment. On watching the short, I was thinking that Homestar was saying either "nerds" or "nords", and quite possibly, Matt had intended to sound like ''both'' words. "Nords" would fit, as we are talking about MMOs, and Nord is a common class or race in RPGs, both tabletop and PC. Is it possible we could add a footnote mentioning the discrepancy to the transcript? I don't want to be too '''bold''' and do it myself, but if no one argues, I probably will.

Strong Badia the Free Cave Girl Squad

2009-08-18T08:27:21Z

Onamuji: /* Scene 3 */ +t.

[[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 did not die===
'''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 a minor death===
'''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 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}''

''{Strong Bad laughs loudly}''

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

===Tablet===

'''GIRL:''' I wish somebody would invent written language so I could write Ogg a love letter on this blank sheet of clay-per!

===Ribbon===

'''GIRL:''' Ooh! A new ribbon! I want Jamaican braids like I got on Spring Break!

====Scene 3====

''{The ribbon warps around the girl and turns her into a mummy}''

'''EGYPTIAN 2:''' Is that a m-m-m-mummy?

'''EGYPTIAN 1:''' ''{With New York Accent}'' Marty, we've been embalming pharaohs for thoity years. You gonna freak out every time?

''{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====

'''SO-AND-SO:''' Pi r squared... carry the 3... Eureka! I invented the wheel!

====Scenes 1 or 2====

'''SO-AND-SO:''' Now if only Ogg would invent the back seat, we could totally make out!!!

====Scene 3====

'''SO-AND-SO:''' And here comes Ogg!

''{Ogg Ogg-er-son shows up in a Flintstones-like car.}''

'''OGG:''' Check out dope ride!

'''SO-AND-SO:''' You're right on time!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Vrrr... BLAST-OFF!!!

''{The car blasts into outer space, but is burnt in the atmosphere.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' THE OPPOSITE OF RE-ENTRY'D!!!

'''SO-AND-SO:''' I shoulda made that heat shield outta bamboo and coconut!!!

''{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.

''{A Saber Tooth tiger approaches the girl.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Sensing her young is in danger of receiving a lame name, the mother tiger picks up her prey's scent, and closes in...

'''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===

====Scenes 1 or 2====

'''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!!!

''{The girl throws Anubis into a purse-like bag.}''

'''GIRL:''' Ooh! I can carry you in my purse when I go woven-basket shopping!

'''GIRL:''' Oh, sorry. I'll just keep it safe like a big bag of flour with a diaper on until it hatches.

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ONE...TWO...THREE... FORESHADOWING...

''{The egg shakes after each scene ends. If the girl is alive after three shakes, it hatches.}''

''{Thomas leaves.}''

'''GIRL:''' Wonder what HE wanted.

====Scene 2====

'''THOMAS:''' Gree-tings, hu-mans. We come from space-space to teach you how to build pyramids.

==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.

===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''.
*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]].

Real Name: Jared Jones

Hey h*r dudes and dudettes. I'm a college student, majoring in computer programming (for now at least). I attend STLCC Meramec, so look me up if you're from 'round hur.

I first learned about H*R back in 8th grade...ish from a cousin of mine. I watched a sbemail first, probably [[dragon]], and then watched more until she was absolutely sick of them.^^ I'm <strike>looking forward to this year's Hallo-special, because last year's was a bit disappointing.</strike> totally still lovin' [[Jibblies 2]].

My birthday is the same as [[dragon|TROGDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR]]...'s. Funny fact: it's actually been my birthday for longer than H*R has existed! (wink.)

I suffer Crohn's disease, a very rare disease of the intestinal tract. Please, if you can, donate to research through the {{p|l=http://www.ccfa.org/ Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America}}. And really do it this time!

===Hobbehs===
I enjoy gaming--more than I should. I own a Wii, plenty of Gamecube games, and I've had my girlfriend's PS2 for so long that it might as well be mine. I also enjoy reading gaming comics (see below for a list) and playing {{p|l=http://www.runescape.com/ RuneScape}}, on which my username is Dragoon5464.

What?
Oh. Um...I'm mostly a gnome. A ruthless gnome, at that. But no pages made yet. I'm not fast enough to keep up with you guys. I ''did'' consistence...ize...ise...the Trivia sections on emails sent in by wiki users, though.

Since writing the above (like a...friggin' year ago) I've gone on to transcribe the DVD commentaries for various emails from disc 6 and 50 Greatest Hits, including [[action figure]], [[sisters]], [[the chair]], [[underlings]], [[unnatural]], [[trevor the vampire]], [[the movies]], and [[caffeine]]. Prior to writing transcription, I have mused on how the { and } symbols never get a chance to be used on most keyboards. Now I have given them their de-butt.

==Fave Quotes==
*"Hey, stupid, I bwought you this stuff." -- [[Where's the Cheat|Homestar Runner]] 
**I use this one all the time on my girlfriend. 
*"You're not a broom?!" -- [[long pants|Homestar Runner]]
*"It's like I'm right there, wheeling Grandma through the old town. Do you want to stop in here and get a kielbasa, Grandma?" -- [[Happy Hallow-Day|Homestar Runner]]

Onamuji: /* Transcript */ someone liked the word pixelated.

[[File:idependent.png|thumb|"Independent films are called that for a reason: they are independent of anything good!"]]
Strong Bad points out the differences between the two warring types of independent films.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|The Cheat}}, {{Film|Strong Sad}}, {{Film|Pom Pom}}, {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Marzipan}}, {{Film|Strong Mad}}, {{Film|Bubs}}, {{Film|Coach Z}}, {{Film|Senor Cardgage}}.

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[Strong Sad's Room]], [[The Field]], [[The Movie Theater]]

{{Comp|Compé}}

'''Date:''' Monday, August 10, 2009

'''Running Time:''' 5:20

'''Page Title:''' Compy Compé

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Clears screen}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

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

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

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

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

=== Remarks ===
*Homestar speaking after the screen fades out references the end of the song, where he says he likes "to talk over the end".
*Judging by what Homestar and TMBG say, this is probably the last song of the whole recording session.

=== Real-World References ===

Talk:Coffee

Onamuji: /**/AAAaaaAAAaaaAAAaaaAAA!

Can someone PLEASE explain to me how COFFEE is a running gag? It's just...coffee, it's not a running gag. Otherwise, that would make coffee a running gag in THE SIMPSONS and EVERY SHOW WHERE COFFEE APPEARS. Sorry for all-caps, but these pages that just list the appearances of certain food or drinks are just pointless. {{unsigned|116.240.176.9|22:51, 22 February 2008 (UTC)}}
:It played a major role in [[caffiene]] and it's considered unusual that it was used as drums and Homsar's parent. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 23:01, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
::You have a point about Homsar, caffiene and Experimental Film, but just the drinking od coffeee, spilling etc. isn't really a gag.

== AAAaaaAAAaaaAAAaaaAAA! ==

Should Homsar get his own little section? Running gags that are frequently tied to one character (i.e. teh Homestar and bwead) generally have a bit of organization along those lines. As it is, everything's kind of jumbled together underneath interview, not counting the Homsar bit from dragon. I'm too exhausted to effectively be '''bold''' right now, though. --{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 08:28, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

''{Open on a shot of Strong Bad sitting near the window in the Smoky Office on Le Restige. He is reading a book that reads "Things I'm About To Say"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hi, folks. ''{he closes the book}'' I'm fantastic Strong Bad with an important seeming message. ''{he tosses the book offscreen}'' Five years ago, I drew a little dragon. It wasn't much to look at, but he captured the hearts and minds of dozens, nay, severals of internet viewers.

''{Cut back to Smoky Office.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinkin'. "What about Trogdor?" You internet types ruined Trogdor! Just like you did zombies, pirates, ninjas and Strong Bad! Er, wait, no. Yeah! And personally, I preferred that children's alphabet song to Trogdor's heavy metal song any day. ''{Trogdor's snout appears behind the blinds outside the window and Trogdor roars.}'' Waugh! Yes, sir! Sorry, sir! Right away, sir!

''{The following song is accompanied with black and white pencil-drawn scenes of lightning, the S is for Sucks dragon, the dragon attacking a lighthouse, the word "sucks" and a terrified captain at a ship's steering wheel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing in speed metal style}'' The S is for Sucks, the S is for Sucks!

The S is for Sucks, the S is for Suuuuuucks! 

''{Cut to an illustration of the S is for Sucks dragon with the caption "HAPPY TROGDAY, S is for SUCKS DRAGON!!"}''

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on The S Is For Sucks dragon's head to see a scene with Coach Z and his attempt at drawing a dragon (or "Wormdingler") in the locker room:
:'''COACH Z''': ''{looking fatigued}'' Hey there, Wormdingler, I got youse this cupcake ''{holds up a cupcake}'' for your famous fifth birthday. ''{drops his hand}'' You don't need no consummate V's to be my bride. Oh, did I just say that out loud? ''{he looks around repeatedly}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*Strong Bad's comment about how the Internet ruined "zombies, pirates, ninjas and Strong Bad" refers to various [[Wikipedia:Internet meme|Internet memes]] that have been popular over the years (including [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] itself).
*"Constabulate" (apparently used in place of consummate) refers to a constable, one name for a Bobby (British police officer), emphasized by the "S is for Sucks Dragon" wearing a British police helmet.

===Trivia===
*This is the first time Trogdor has appeared in [[Free Country, USA]].

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad sings a song with na-nas as lyrics, which were listed as no. 2 on his [[Bottom 10]].
*In the Easter Egg, Coach Z's arms appear to be animated differently than they have been in previous toons. They appear to be drawn as a whole, instead of two separate pieces that are manipulated. Bubs's arms saw a similar update in animation style in [[nightlife]].
*Between the opening scene and the last Strong Bad scene, the background behind the window changes from a light gray to a pale blue.
*In many other toons, newspapers contain text that can be read if zoomed in on. In this case, Strong Bad's book contains only scribbles.
*The title of Strong Bad's book is an example of a [[nondescript noun]].

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad closes the book, he closes it on his thumb.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Trogday 08 on the [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons menu]] linked to a [[404'd]] page because the link was misspelled as http://www.homestarrunner.com/trogday08.ht7ml. 

===Inside References===
*The entire toon and all the dragons featured in it are a reference to the email [[dragon]], as well as to the [[Happy Trogday|Trogday]] holiday.
*The page title makes a reference to Strong Bad's replacement email-checking chair, [[Le Restige]], from [[the chair]], which is also the chair that Strong Bad sits on at the beginning.
*The music in the beginning was first heard in [[portrait]].
*This toon includes mentions of [[pants]], [[peeing]], and [[croissants]].
*Strong Bad uses a faux [[French]] accent and wears a [[beret]] and a [[mustache]].
*Strong Bad saying "Yes sir, sorry sir, right away sir" to Trogdor is very similar to when Homestar said the same thing to Pom Pom in [[from work]].
*The newspaper headline reads "top mark [[b/w]] long V".
*Strong Bad saying "I'm fantastic Strong Bad" is similar to "I'm regular Strong Bad" from [[unnatural]].
*The ghost representing Halloween is the same style as the ghost seen in [[space program]].
*Strong Bad's song takes place in front of a [[Paper Background]].
*Strong Bad saying "Dozens, nay, severals" is a possible reference to [[suntan]], in which the announcer says, "minutes, nay, seconds" when advertising the [[Ab-Abber 2000]].

===Fast-Forward===
*Trogdor would later be seen in Free Country, USA again in [[8-Bit Is Enough]].

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Email, women, email, girls! Email, women, email, girls!

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
My friends and I are at a volleyball 
tounament and we were wondering how 
come homestar never does anything 
funny anymore? 
 
your friend, 
Tori From VA, TX</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "tounament" as spelled (Toe-OO-na-ment), and "VA, TX" as "Virginia, and Texas. Respectively."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Anymore Tori? I wasn't aware that guy did anything funny. Ever. But if you want to see Homestar so bad, why don't we check out what he's doing right now. We'll see how it measures up to say, me ''{pause}'' kicking the cheat ''{pause}'' into Strong Sad ''{pause}'' with the chicken pox.

''{The screen cuts into static, then goes to Homestar hosting his very own "The Show". With him are Pom Pom and The Poopsmith.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But it turned out I didn't die. ''{canned laughter}'' So, once again, I'd like to welcome The Poopsmith and Pom Pom onto The Show. ''{canned applause}'' Gentlemen: hands on buzzers.

''{Pom Pom and the Poopsmith glance at each other; there are no buzzers}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' The Poopsmith, for 500 points: Would you care to share with us some of your polictical views?

''{The Poopsmith brings out a sign that says "Hey, um, I'm gonna go now." He walks off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And Pom Pom, for the block. Do you agree?

''{Pom Pom bubbles and bounces off. Canned applause.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, that's 162 points for each of you. We'll be right back with round two after these important words from these important messages.

''{A little ditty is played and a title screen is shown saying "We'll be right back." Cut to a pink screen with faded concentric circles emanating from the center. Marshie is present.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' Hey guys ''{pronounced 'juys'}''! You'd best be eating a whole mess of Fluffy Puff Marshmallows!

''{Cut to a green screen where a black-and-white man is seen reading a book called "Stuffed in Each Cheek"}''

'''MARSHIE:''' You won't think twice with a couple of them stuffed in each cheek!

''{Somebody says "boing" and the man looks shocked. Cut back to Marshie}''

'''MARSHIE:''' They make my mornings—

''{the words "SHIVER WITH FLAVOR" appear at the bottom left}''

'''MARSHIE:''' —shiver with flavor,—

''{Marshie comes close-up to the screen and the words appear in front of him}''

'''MARSHIE:''' —shiver with flavor!

''{the screen reverts to Marshie alone}''

'''MARSHIE:''' I'll say it twice!

''{cut to a mountain range, above which Marshie is seen in the sky}''

'''MARSHIE:''' This is gettin' great!

''{The word "great" echoes. Another, larger Marshie comes across horizontally from the left, leaving a trail of pink behind him. This forms the original pink background}''

'''MARSHIE:''' Fluffy Puff Marshmallows!

''{Marshie appears in the middle of the screen and the words "THE FIRST ONE TO EAT A MILLION, WINS." appear on the bottom}''

'''MARSHIE:''' "The first one to eat a million, wins."

''{Marshie winks along with a squishing noise. Cut back to The Show.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right. Welcome back to The Show. ''{he pronounces it "show" as in "shower"}'' And now, I choose to recite a list. ''{pulls out some cue cards}'' Ahem. ''{words appear on screen as Homestar reads them}'' "tetherball." "Olympic race." "sparkling." "Tim Duncan." "Wisconsin." "a book of matches." "next week." "a lot of money." "witch's b—"

''{static cuts Homestar off abruptly before saying "brew" - cut back to Strong Bad at his computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. ''{typing}'' Problematic. You know it's been awhile since I've kicked the Cheat, but I guarantee it'd be comedic gold compared to that mish-mash. And what's with that flying mushroom he's always advertising for. I can't understand a word that guy says. ''{stops typing}'' Anyways, Tori, lemme know how the volleyball tounament turns out. Touns out. Er, learn to spell.

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

== Easter Eggs==
*At the beginning of The Show, you can click on the cards Homestar is carrying to read one.
<blockquote>pom-pom = round yellow one 
poopsmith = smelly one 
homestar = [[Homestar Runner and Homestar Runner's Relationship|you]]</blockquote>
*At the end, click on "kicked the Cheat" to see what The Cheat and Strong Sad are doing.
:''{Cut to Strong Sad's room. Strong Sad is lying in bed with the chicken pox. The Cheat is in front of him.}''
:'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{looks around and then makes questioning The Cheat noises}''
:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{raspy voice}'' I don't know where he is. I figured it was a sure thing, too.

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*The sender is from Van Alstyne, a small town north of Dallas, Texas. The inhabitants there commonly abbreviate their town's name to "VA."

===Trivia===
*Even if you were to eat 100 [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows]] every day, it would still take you more than 27 years to "win".
**If you eat like Homestar Runner, at least [[Fluffy Puff Commercial|147]] every day, it would "only" take a bit more than 18 years.

===Remarks===
[[Image:weirdpoopsmithblink.png|thumb|100px|The Poopsmith's odd eyes.]]
*The Poopsmith's eyes point in different directions when he blinks. They also switch sides when he turns around.
*The table has been either replaced or expertly repaired (no cracks or seams are evident, even though it was broken in half in the [[unused emails|previous email]]).
*After the cards come up, the cards Homestar is holding are still selectable. However, nothing happens.
*Homestar manages to hold a microphone and flip through a set of cards simultaneously.
*The Tim Duncan reference may have been made due to the email writer being from Texas.
*Strong Bad calls [[Marshie]] a "flying mushroom", adding this to the list of items Marshie is often confused with (including a "flying cottonball" by [[Gunhaver]] in [[Cheat Commandos...O's]]).
*Strong Bad makes five [[Strong Bad's Spelling|grammar and/or punctuation errors]] in his email:
**He doesn't put a comma in "Anymore Tori?"
**He puts an unnecessary space after "Problematic" before the period.
**He doesn't put a question mark after "What's with that flying mushroom he's always advertising for."
**He fails to capitalize The Cheat's name in his reply.
**He doesn't put a space before beginning his last sentence.

===Goofs===
*In the Easter egg, Strong Sad's chicken pox move a little bit slower than his head as he raises it. For example, there is a red dot right above his left eye. When he raises his head, the chicken pox move slower and the one that was near his eye is a little more far away from it than before.

===Inside References===
*This email contains yet another reference to "[[witch's brew]]".
*Marshie pronouncing "guys" as "juys" may be a reference to [[A Decemberween Pageant]], in which [[Bubs]] pronounces "gold" as "jold" and [[Homsar Main Page]], in which [[Homsar]] pronounces "games" as "james."
*Marshie's voice echoes over the alps from [[Main Page 2]].
*This is another reference to [[Kicking The Cheat]].

===Real-World References===
*Homestar's line "Pom Pom, for the block. Do you agree?" is a reference to the game show ''[[Wikipedia:Hollywood Squares|Hollywood Squares]]'', where contestants decide whether they agree with a celebrity's answer in order to get their symbol on a tic-tac-toe board.
*Homestar's microphone looks just like [[Wikipedia:Bob Barker|Bob Barker]]'s microphone from ''[[Wikipedia:The Price is Right|The Price is Right]]''.
*[[Wikipedia:Tim Duncan|Tim Duncan]] is an [[Wikipedia:National Basketball Association|NBA]] basketball player with the San Antonio Spurs.
*The Poopsmith's sign is a nod to [[Wikipedia:Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner|Wile E. Coyote]], who often used a variety of small signs to indicate what he was thinking or feeling.
*The little jingle played before the commercial break is part of the theme song of the game show ''[[Wikipedia:Match Game|Match Game]]''.
*The "We'll be right back" image is similar to the one used by the television show, [[Wikipedia:The Galloping Gourmet|The Galloping Gourmet]].
*Homestar giving the contestants random points is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Whose Line is it Anyway|Whose Line is it Anyway]], in which the host would give the contestants a random amount of points at the end of each game for no visible relevance.

===Fast Forward===
*[[Puppet Character Variations|Puppet Marshie]] says "juys" in [[Main Page 25]].

== DVD Version ==
*The card Easter egg is still viewable by using your DVD player's angle button
*The DVD version features hidden audio commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MIKE:''' Here's the commentary for "the show" email.

'''HOMESTAR:''' That's right, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' I'm joined by none other than Homestar himself, the host of The Show.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Call me Greg this time.

'''MIKE:''' Greg, uh, so tell us a little bit about yourself, Greg.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Well, I'm, uh, uh, a vitamin, I lose weight, and I'm on the plank!

'''MIKE:''' Homestar here making a little less sense than usual.

'''HOMESTAR:''' I know. It's all for the DVD.

'''MIKE:''' DVD.

'''HOMESTAR:''' DVDs. Yeah. DVDs.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, here comes your big scene.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah, why are you so, where did this show come from?

'''MIKE:''' Uh, why don't you tell us?

'''HOMESTAR:''' I don't... Honestly, the first time I saw this, I was flabbergasted.

'''MIKE:''' You don't, you don't remember taking part in anything like this?

'''HOMESTAR:''' I mean, I kinda do... But like, so do I have a show? In the '70s?

'''MIKE:''' Well, I don't know if it was in the '70s.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Is it a chat show, or game show?

'''MIKE:''' It looks like it's kinda maybe a little of both, but a little of neither?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah! That's the way my best shows are...right?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR:''' So why wouldn't it be that? A little bit of a chat show, maybe with a Charles Nelson Reilly...

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR:''' I love my microphone. If a microphone's not tall and skinny, it's not a microphone.

'''MIKE:''' I agree.

'''MIKE:''' He has arms.'''

''{Marshie appears on the screen to begin the Fluffy Puff commercial.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh no!

'''MIKE:''' It's okay.

'''HOMESTAR:''' I love this one!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, I thought you might be scared.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Look out! Look out, stuffed in each—Oh no! He got it, Mike! ''{pause}'' Marshie's on point on this one. He's at the top of his game.

'''MIKE:''' Marshie's...never at the top of his game.

'''HOMESTAR:''' No, he's clearly here. Listen, listen, listen!

''{Marshie's commercial finishes, and he winks producing a unique sound effect.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' How does he do that?

'''MIKE:''' He winked.

'''HOMESTAR:''' I know! If I could make my eye make that sound when I wink, I'd be like, winking all the time! They'd call me Wink Martindale.

'''MIKE:''' Is there a common thread—

'''HOMESTAR:''' Homester.

'''MIKE:''' Okay. How much longer do we have on this commentary, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR:''' You don't think this is very funny, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Uhh, maybe.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Do you think we should start over?

'''MIKE:''' No, we can leave it, but...I just hope it's over soon.

'''HOMESTAR:''' I think it sounds like Strong Bad's winding down.

'''MIKE:''' All right.

'''HOMESTAR:''' See, he's mumbling.

'''MIKE:''' Bye, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR:''' That's the end. You know it's the end.

''{The Paper comes down.}''

'''MIKE:''' Bye, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Geez!

'''Page Title:''' Biz Cas Fri 2

{{dvd|Everything Else, Volume 1}}

== Transcript ==
''{Close-up of a water cooler. The title words, "Biz Cas Fri", appear. Air bubbles rise into the cooler. Cut to Strong Bad standing at his office computer in his cubicle. Strong Bad is wearing a striped casual polo shirt. The computer monitor is covered in yellow sticky notes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow! This is gonna be great! This is like my most productive day ever, and it's not even lunch yet!

''{Homestar Runner swoops in, sounding dazed, wearing a solid-brown casual polo shirt, eyes turned horizontally, and a piece of garland on his hat.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{possibly hung-over}'' Rondo, it's official. This just in from corporate.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, what is it?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thursday is the new Friday. Man, I don't even want to remember what went on last night.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Apparently you didn't wanna remember to take a shower, either. You smell like wet tech support... with onions.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks man. Hey, I need you to cover for me. I'm supposed to present the third-quarter earnings to the shareholders in five minutes, but I really need to take a nap under your desk, here, so—

'''STRONG BAD:''' No way! I'm in the middle of something big here! I'm going to save this company millions!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks man, I owe you one. ''{collapses}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad in front a whiteboard with a pie graph on it. Strong Bad is standing behind a desk in front of an audience.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... yes! Thank you, gentlemen. So... uh... how's everybody feeling out there? ''{crickets chirp} {Strong Bad leans to his right}'' Lemme get all my shareholders on this side of the table to say "HEY!". ''{leans to his left}'' And all my shareholders on this side of the table to say "OHHH!".

''{One of the shareholders clears his throat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, lemme tell you about this Post-it note. Listen tightly. This thing's going to save the company millions!

'''SHAREHOLDER:''' ''{Deep, rumbling voice}'' What about the earnings?!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, yes. Earnings. Uh... can I have the country of origin, please?

'''SHAREHOLDER:''' What?!?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Err... can you use it in a sentence?

'''SHAREHOLDER:''' Where are the earnings?!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes. Earnings. ''{Letters appear on screen as he says them.}'' E-A-R-N— ''{gets hit by a shoe, falls over}'' Ow!

'''SHAREHOLDER:''' Is this the kind of man we hire these days? He's a total liability!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{appears to the right of the shareholder}'' Yeah, liability. ''{Letters appear on screen as he says them.}'' L-I-A-B-I— ''{gets hit by a shoe}''

''{"end."}''

== Easter Eggs ==
* At the end, click on the shoe that hit Homestar to see more of the Post-its.
:''{Strong Bad is in his cubicle again, with Post-it notes stuck to everything}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{yelling hysterically}'' MILLIONS, I TELL YA! MILLIONS!! I'M GONNA SAVE THE COMPANY MILLIONS!! ''{slowly falls to the ground; calms down}'' I'm savin' bunches of money...
:''{A Post-it note falls off the wall.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Shareholder|Shareholders]] are people that own shares of stock in a company. A company's responsibility is to benefit its shareholders, and any profit is divided amongst the shareholders.
*Strong Bad's asking for a word's country of origin, for it to be used in a sentence, and the way Homestar and Strong Bad begin spelling "earnings" and "liability" are in the style of a [[Wikipedia:Spelling bee|spelling bee]].

===Trivia===
*In a similar fashion to [[Biz Cas Fri 1]], this puppet short was released on a Friday, even after a significant update was released on the preceding Monday.
*Homestar's sideways eyes were first seen publicly in the [[Alamo Drafthouse - 10 Jun 2005|Alamo Drafthouse]] appearance. The earliest known filming of his sideways eyes is seen in [[Puppets & Little Girl Outtakes]].
*If you look closely enough, you can see Strong Bad in his "Check me out" pose, on a certificate in the top-right of the main view of the meeting room.
*[[Mike Chapman]] is the left shareholder and [[Ryan Sterritt]] is the right shareholder.

===Remarks===
*The Post-it note on Strong Bad's cubicle wall reads "EOB!", which stands for End of Business.

===Inside References===
*The sound effect used for the dazed Homestar was originally used in [[car]], when Homestar was punched out by Strong Bad.
*On the upper part of the screen, you can clearly see the "Remember the 'Tivities" motivational poster from [[no loafing]].
* The name Homestar calls Strong Bad, "Rondo", is an abbreviation of Rondleman, the name he calls him in [[Biz Cas Fri 1]].
* Right after one of the shareholders clears his throat, you can hear [[The Geddup Noise]] (or possibly Chairscoot).
* Strong Bad's obsession with Post-its was first introduced in [[Strong Sad's Lament]].
* Strong Bad's mentioning "listen tightly" might be a reference to [[That A Ghost]] where [[Old Timey Strong Bad]] has a similar line.
*This is another reference to [[Sticky Notes]]
*If you look at the cubicle wall when Homestar is talking, you can see the [[Dullard]] comic strip from the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[dullard]], DVD version, method 3
*This is another mention of [[showering]].
*On the whiteboard there is a [[Charts|pie chart]] with labels FISCAL and GROWTH?.

== DVD Version ==
*The "end" card appears on a usual black background.
*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:''' Attempt number four at the commentary for Biz Cas Fri number 2.

'''MATT:''' Uh, let's talk about it, Mike. Let's talk about EOB.

'''MIKE:''' End of business.

'''MATT:''' That's right! You just learned that!

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' I didn't know that! Matt just told me that! I never knew that one! I only worked in an office for six months, and—

'''MATT:''' You learned that in commentary attempt number two, didn't you?

'''MIKE:''' I di— ''{chuckles}'' I did! Homestar's just come from the Christmas party, it looks like.

'''MATT:''' He looks es— especially creepy with his eyes sidewise like that.

'''MIKE:''' Sidewise eyes?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, so tech support always stunk, Mike, when I'd go up there.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Yeah, I've never—

'''MATT:''' Not to— not to diss on any of you guys from tech support, but it smelled like the dudes' locker room.

'''MIKE:''' Was it the people or the place?

'''MATT:''' It was definitely got into the— cause I remember they— they moved, and when we first moved into the new office, it didn't smell, but within like a week it smelled.

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

'''MATT:''' Umm...

'''MIKE:''' So, that pie chart was on our white erase board for many, many months, and the word "fiscal" still is to this day.

'''MATT:''' Hmm, that's true!

'''MIKE:''' It's been, I don't know, about four months.

'''MATT:''' Mike's tapping, that's— Look! You can see little Mike on that mug there holding a lightsaber!

'''MIKE:''' I'm dressed up as Luke Skywalker in 1977!

'''MATT:''' Yeah, he's standing in front of his oversized issue of the comic book adaptation of Star Wars! It was the size of Mike. It was huge!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, there was a Geddup Noise!

'''MATT:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' Geddy! Eughh! That's—

'''MATT:''' That's Mike. ''{incomprehensible}''

'''MIKE:''' That was my line. I think that's me.

'''MATT:''' Umm, so that,uh, conference call thing in the middle of the table is just our answering machine, cleary, which I don't think we're fooling anybody. Mike, why's he acting like it's a spelling bee?

'''MIKE:''' I love the Scripps— the Scripps spelling bee. They show it on ESPN now.

'''MATT:''' That's true.

'''MIKE:''' It's so good.

'''MATT:''' So does that mean Strong— Homestar's on the board of directors?

===Fun Facts===
*[[Wikipedia:Luke Skywalker|Luke Skywalker]] is a character from the [[Wikipedia:Star Wars|Star Wars Trilogy]].
*"Geddy" and [[The Geddup Noise]] are from the appropriately-titled Strong Bad email "[[geddup noise]]."
*[[Wikipedia:ESPN|ESPN]] is a channel showcasting sports and occasionally featuring lesser-known competitions, such as [[Wikipedia:spelling bee|spelling bees.]]

Talk:The King of Town's Food

2009-08-01T04:33:28Z

Onamuji: /**/Mayo

{{ttbd}}
== KoT Food Page ==

I think this page is a good idea, but it could use a better title. Maybe the '''King Of Town's Foodstuffs''' or something. Also, it definately needs a lot of editing and more content. --[[User:The Lurker|The Lurker]] 23:16, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

:I'm thinking about "The King of Town's Food". And what do you mean by more editing and content? I think it looks fine. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''
::'''The King Of Town's Food''' sounds good. And it is maturing into a decent article now, but I made that first comment shorty after the article was created. The format wasn't great and there was very little content. --[[User:The Lurker|The Lurker]] 02:49, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

::Yeah change it to "The King of Town's Food". That will make it somewhat less mystifying. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 22:52, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

Does anyone have a bigger version of the Pork Snagglins images, so that it fits in with the rest of the images? --[[User:The Lurker|The Lurker]] 00:08, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
:It's because it's a .gif. Someone needs to replace it with a .png picture. (Those will resize for any occasion) -- '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]''''' 03:10, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

::Actually, PNG's won't resize any bigger than the original without looking pixelated. I created and uploaded a new version of the image. What do you think? — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 22:29, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

== Imply vs. Infer ==

My change to fishsticks was reverted because it "didn't change the meaning". But I know the difference between implication (something done by the speaker) and inference (something done by the listener).

What I am getting at, is that we don't really know that the Prince of Town gained weight specifically from the lifetime supply of fishsticks (as opposed to, say, anything else), or that TBC implied this was definitely the case. However, we seem to have inferred it.

So, how was the meaning not changed? {{User:Zoom/sig}} 04:24, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
:Ah, if that's what you are saying then it should definitely be "imply" as the whole point of the easter egg is that implication. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 04:27, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
::That's the problem with implications-- kind of hard to know they are there. But it is true that the egg seems pointless without there being one. Thanks for the clarification. {{User:Zoom/sig}} 04:32, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
:::There really isn't anything to suggest that it was those specific fish sticks that made the king so weighty. The easter egg more or less is just the early beginnings of his over-eating. If the fish sticks were the only extra large portion of something he'd eaten between then and now, he probably would have worn it off already (depending on how long ago flashback is supposed to be). We can say "it is implied that the then svelt, young Prince of Town kept the fishsticks, starting him on the road to his now trademark eating habits." But to say the fishsticks are why he's so fat now is guesswork, and unlikely.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 05:32, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
::::I guess that's not really the topic of this thread. Sorry. I kinda misunderstood. But still, that's what I think about it!--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 05:35, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
:::::Don't be too sorry. Is still good points! --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:38, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

== Duplicate? ==

Aside from the image gallery, how is this different from [[The King of Town#Favorite Foods]]? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:58, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
:I wonder why no one ever replied to this... seriously. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:34, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
::How impatient! It's not even been a year. Seriously! But, ummm, seriously, maybe we should merge that section into this article. So we keep this article and reduce the section to a link here. And maybe remove the word "favorite" from the section title.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 23:21, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
:::That section is more complete than this one, but has no images, and is named 'Favorite' Foods despite it being a complete list of everything we've seen him eat voluntarily. I say link here. {{User:TsuyoiWarui/sig}} 22:27, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
::::TsuyoiWarui has a great point. My vote is a '''Merge''' the section to this article and then from the KOT article, '''Link'''. {{User:Strongkinghomsarsmith/sig}} 22:35, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
:::::Anyone else? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 11:39, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
::::::I'd also like to see all relevant information moved from the table on [[King of Town]] to this article, and then provide a link between the two. So yeah, give it a shot. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 12:46, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
:::::::I say '''link here'''. It seems like a good idea based on what everyone else has said. If that's the general consensus, I should go ahead and change the other page. Any objections? {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 20:40, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

== 'Even by Homestar Runner standards' ==

I was confused by this (we have seen Homestar eat some odd stuff, lightbulbs etc.) but realized it means 'strange even by the standards set by the entire canon'. But these ARE the crazy standards set by the whole of the Homestar Runner universe. I just think this should be reworded, but I can't figure out how best to put it. {{User:TsuyoiWarui/sig}} 22:33, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

== Mayo ==

What evidence do we have that the KoT ever ate the mayo in his air vents? I mean, sure, if he found it, he probably did, but we don't know that. SB just put it there to stink up the place. --{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 04:33, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Onamuji: /* Marzipan */

I was thinking of getting the image from [[death metal]] during the video chat. This page is kind of blank, anyway. I can upload images, but have ''no'' idea how to actually get them out of the toon, save them, and upload them. Can someone (a) try to help me out with this and (b) try to get the image in the event that I can't? {{User:Teh_Frossty_One/sig}} 21:43, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Here's the 10 step meathod I've always used (I'm not sure if it'll work exactly the same way. I use Windows XP). Feel free to follow my simple, step by step instructions. I make uploading ''FUN!''

#Watch the toon.
#When you get to the part of the toon you want a pic of, press Alt+Print Screen.
#Open a paint program, such as MS Paint.
#Paste the image in. (Ctr+V)
#Save as a PNG. (File, Save, when it asks for the image title, look for a drop down box right below it, and choose PNG format)
#Go to the Wiki.
#On the toolbar (left side of the screen "always there" buttons) look for "Upload File". Click it.
#Browse for your file, and upload it.
#Add link to the image on the right page. <nowiki>[[Image:Imagename.PNG|thumb|Cool Caption]]</nowiki>
#Get yourself a Danish.

Don't forget, if you're looking for an image for a case like this, do a quick search around the wiki to see if there's an image that'll meet the needs, without uploading a new one. Hope that helps. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:52, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

:I know how to capture images, save them, and upload them, but how do you crop the images and stuff like that? I tried doing it once, and it came out all messed up. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 21:55, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
::You have to do it ''before'' you upload it. Like on MS Paint. {{User:Salty/sig}} 21:58, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
:::I know that. I tried it, but failed. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 21:59, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
::::If you're using MSPaint, just use the select tool (the dotted box thing) to select what you want to upload, and cut it (Ctrl-X) from the image. Open a new file (don't save the previous one), and paste it there (Ctrl-V). If you're using Photoshop, use a simpler graphic program for this job, like MSPaint (see above). -{{User:Stinkoman K/Sig}} 18:16, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

== Characters? ==

I believe that "Apostroholics" does certainly not count as a character and should be deleted. "Thorax Corporation" is borderline for two reasons: a) it's really outside the H*R universe, but it has been mentioned in toons and b) it's a company, not a character, but the contact email does belong to a character.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:13, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
:Problem fixed itself, now that the page has been moved.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:27, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Has anyone ever tried calling Senor Cardgage's number? It probably brings up this

'''OPERATOR:''' We're sorry. Your call could not go through. If you would like to make a call...

I didn't think that was her actual IM, the one that was in the email. Didn't Strong Bad make it up? Plus, later in the email she claims to not even know what a screen name is. Should that be in here? --[[User:Acam30|Acam30]] 12:04, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
:I checked this talk page to post exactly this same thing. Shouldn't her im be clarified with a "(Possible Strong Bad history revision)" or something? --{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 04:15, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

== Apostroholics? ==

If you look at Senor Cardgadge's 'work phone', you'll see that someone has provided the way it's shown and the way it would actually be, yet with the Apostroholics' nuber, it's just 1-800-APOSTROHOLICS. Should it be changed? {{User:Corruption/sig}} 23:46, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

==Transcript==
''{Black text on a white background: "10 years ago..."}''

''{Then the cover of the second book zooms in "The Homestar Runner In: Where My Hat Is At?" "A Book Story"}''

''{The book opens to the first page of the original book, with a crudely drawn Homestar in a star}''

'''CAPTION:''' Everyone loves the Homestar Runner. He is a terrific athlete.

''{crossfades to a modern Homestar (sans hat) in a green star on a blue background.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If there are two things I know about the Homestar Runner, it's that everybody loves the him ''and'' he's a terrific athlete.

''{page turn to reveal Marzipan sitting on her couch, and Homestar coming in screen left}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, Marzipan! I'm off to the big game!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey, where's your hat, Homestar?

''{close-up of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm sorry, I couldn't understand what you just said.

''{close-up of Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{annoyed}'' I said, "Where's your hat?".

''{reverse to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, you're not even speaking English at this point.

''{reverse to Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{sighs, resigned}'' I mean, where your hat is at, Homestar?

''{reverse to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, good question! Without my hat, I won't be allowed to play in the ''big'' game.

''{cut to a shot of Marzipan and Homestar}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{annoyed}'' Well good! Then you can start mowing the lawn and—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let's look under the couch!

''{Homestar lifts the end of the couch, tossing Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{screams}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It isn't under the couch.

''{page turn to reveal Homestar standing next to the [[TeeBee]] in his living room, wearing a monocle.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{faux British accent}'' Or, on top of the teleset, governor!

''{push wipe from the bottom: close up of Homestar on a spinning blue background. The words appear as he says them.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Where my hat is at?

''{cut to Homestar emerging from the pool wearing a snorkeling mask, displacing a beach ball.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whew! It's not in the pool. ''{closer shot}'' But I did find this Strong Sad brand concrete block!

''{Strong Sad appears, encased in cement, with both of his eyes bloodied}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Thanks for saving me, mister! Can I obsess over you now?

''{zoom out to reveal Strong Bad and The Cheat standing on the side of the pool, wearing fedoras.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Of all the dumb luck in the woild!

''{page turn to reveal Homestar opening the lid to The King Of Town's grill, revealing a piece of meat.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It isn't cooking on the grill? ''{reverse}'' Man, I really thought it'd make complete sense if my non-edible hat would be cooking on a food grill!

''{push wipe left: Homestar on the blue background}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Where my hat is at?

''{cut to Homestar at a mailbox, wearing a driving cap.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bangers and mash! It isn't in the post box either!

''{page turn to Homestar underneath a red car in the garage}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Or under this auto that I always all the time drive around. ''{pause}'' And call an auto.

''{push wipe left: Homestar on the blue background}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Where my hat is at?

''{cut to Homestar standing with Pom Pom on a pitching mound. Pom Pom has a cap on and is holding an 8-ball.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Go on, Pom Pom, just gimme your hat. ''{close up Homestar and Pom Pom. Homestar leans on Pom Pom}'' Everybody knows I've got bigger game than you.

''{cut back to the wider shot}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh! How about a trade? You let me borrow your hat, I let you borrow my jock.

'''POM POM:''' ''{angry bubbles}''

''{Pom Pom throws the 8-ball at Homestar, who flees screen left.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, never mind!

''{page turn to close up of Coach Z in the locker room}''

'''COACH Z:''' You lost a prat of your uniform!?

''{wider shot of Coach Z and Homestar, who is looking embarrassed}''

'''COACH Z:''' Well, it's like I always say. A man's uniform ''{cross fade to [[The Chalkboard]], which has a hat drawn on it and is embellished as Coach Z speaks}'' is like a temple, wherein he keeps his ''{slowly, confused}'' uniform when he's not using it. ''{"torchdown?"  appears on the chalkboard}''

''{Chalkboard is pushed up to a two shot of Coach Z and Homestar. Homestar looks annoyed.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, are you suggesting that my hat is inside my hat?

'''COACH Z:''' No, I'm suggesting that—

''{close up of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well good, 'cause I already looked and it's not there.

''{page turn to Bubs' Concession Stand. Homestar is standing outside, and the sign reads "Candy"}''

'''BUBS:''' Shrug. I haven't seen it! ''{close-up of Bubs}'' Nobody's tried to sell me any stolen hats this half hour!

''{cut back to the wider shot.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{lifts up Marzipan's pony tail}'' I do have this stolen wig, though.

''{page turn to The Umpire and Homestar, standing at home plate}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' If you can't find your hat, you're not allowed to play in the ''big game''!

''{close up of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{annoyed}'' Um, yeah, we sorta established that in the first scene. ''{happier}'' But thanks anyway.

''{page turn to Homestar kicking a soup can}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{distraught}'' Looks like I won't be able to play, then.

''{cut to a shot of Homestar walking down a road, with his shadow reaching towards the horizon and sky gradually turning to orange.}''

''{cut to Homestar in his kitchen next to the refrigerator.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sadly}'' I could really go for a few Cold Ones right about now.

''{reverse shot from inside the fridge, with hat in the foreground}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hmm, it feels like something is strange here... but I can't seem to put my finger on—

''{cut to Homestar with the swirling blue background}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{excitedly}'' There my hat is at!

''{cut to a slow zoom to the hat in the fridge}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right between the milk and the Colden Ones.

''{cut to wider shot of Homestar at the fridge. Homestar takes out the hat, closes the door and puts the hat on his head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I must've left it in there when I put my hat in the fridge. ''{Homestar comes close to the camera}'' If I hurry, I can still make it the ''big game''! ''{Homestar runs off screen left}''

''{cut to a silhouette on a yellow background of Homestar running while drinking a Colden One}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Glug glug glug glug glug glug glug.

''{cut to Homestar coming in screen right in front of The Umpire. Homestar leaps onto home plate.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Safe!

'''THE UMPIRE:''' Uh, what are you doing?

''{close up of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I found my hat just in time to score the winning run.

''{close up of The Umpire}''

'''THE UMPIRE:''' ''{annoyed}'' Uh, no, actually it's the bottom of the second, your team's down by 94 points, and you just illegally ran onto the field!

''{wider shot}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Get this, it was between the milk and the Cold Ones!

'''THE UMPIRE:''' Yeah, yeah, you need to head back to the dugout before I toss you out of here, buster!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Man, Mr. Umpire, you sure have a funny way of pronouncing—

''{push wipe down; Homestar in a green star on a blue field. Homestar pulls out The Local Newspapes.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Homestar Runner's team wins!

'''THE UMPIRE:''' ''{off-screen}'' Yeah, you're suspended from the league. ''{Homestar looks disappointed}''

''{black screen with white text: "here the end is at!"}''

==Easter Eggs==
*If you press the spacebar on your keyboard, the cartoon displays the corresponding image from the book.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Bangers and mash|Bangers and mash]] is a traditional British dish of sausages and mashed potatoes.

===Trivia===
*Homestar's mouth is in the same shape as in the book when he says "Where my hat is at?"
*This is the second tenth anniversary remake of a book, the first being [[Strongest Man in the World]]. In both cases, the conclusion is changed from the original book, but Homestar still expects the original conclusion to take place.
**Homestar's opening lines mimic what he said at the beginning of [[Strongest Man in the World]].
*Almost all of the scenes of the cartoon are taken directly from the original book. A few images are different, however. For example, the refrigerator contents are in a different order in the cartoon. Also, the meat on the grill is a ribeye in the book and a t-bone in the cartoon.

===Remarks===
*The text on [[Hanging Objects#Marzipan's House|the picture hanging above Marzipan's couch]] has been changed from "Thank You" to "You're Welcome".
*Coach Z's emblem has been changed to match the original book. The "Z" has an upward, curved point on the top left-hand corner.
*Homestar [[Fourth Wall Breaks|breaks the fourth wall]] by calling the first scene "the first scene."
*There is a large clickable area just outside the frame to the top-left corner of the screen. Clicking it doesn't seem to do anything.
*Homestar somehow had a colden one on his way to the game, but never actually gets one out of the refrigerator. He also does not seem to have it at the game.
*It seems that the sun is setting as Homestar walks down the road, but the sky is light again once he leaves his house.

===Goofs===
[[Image:hs disattached head.png|thumb|Oops!]]
*As Homestar takes his hat out of the fridge, his head is not entirely attached to his body for a couple of frames.

===Inside References===
*The loading screen features [[cheese]].
*Strong Bad pronounces "world" as "[["Er" pronounced as "Oi"|woild]]".
*Just like in the original, Bubs' Concession Stand says "Candy" (although the style of the sign is modern).
*[[Frozen Bake]], a food first seen in [[Twenty THANXty Six]], can be seen in Homestar's fridge.
*Homestar has a [[Cars|car]] in this toon.
**His [[Blatant Lies|claim]] that he uses the car all the time despite the fact it has never been seen outside of the book is a reference to [[keep cool]], where Strong Bad made the claim that he uses a certain pool all the time despite the fact that it hadn't been seen since the [[Theme Song Video]].
*Homestar is seen [[Kicking a can|kicking]] a [[can of water soup]], and the Old Timey theme music plays, making it a specific reference to [[Kick the Can]].
*Homestar is seen drinking [[Colden Ones]].
*"Where my hat is at?" is an example of a [[non-inverted question]].
*Homestar's line after diving in the pool references his dive in the blue family recreation water in [[mini-golf]].
*At the end of the toon, Homestar holds up "[[The Local Newspapes]]".
*Homestar looked under the grill assuming [[Eating Non-Food Items|his hat was being cooked]].
*Strong Bad and The Cheat try to [[Strong Sad's Death|drown]] Strong Sad.

Hammerspace

2009-07-31T02:39:05Z

Onamuji: "both" mismatch.

[[Image:The Cheat hammerspace.PNG|thumb|[[Firebert]] emerging from Hammerspace]]
Residents of the [[Homestar Runner universe]] often reach into '''[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Hammerspace Hammerspace]''' to access regularly unavailable items. Hammerspace is an imagined "storage realm" that allows cartoon characters to have access to practically any item they wish without impeding the plot or ruining comedic timing. As in most other animated works of fiction, the other characters usually make no mention of and seemingly do not respond to the appearance of the new items. Also, cartoons sometimes feature characters hiding behind and/or emerging from objects much smaller than themselves; this is commonly said to be characters hiding themselves in Hammerspace.

It can be said that both [[The Paper]] and [[New Paper]], along with the [[Envelope Paper]] almost always emerge from Hammerspace, due to the lack of a visible printer, although the email [[the paper]] shows a printer falling too.

Onamuji: unnecessary; already explained in the 'bove.

[[Image:CoachZPotion-ma-jig.png|thumb|150px|Zeo Zuxtable]]
[[Image:Theo Huxtable.jpg|thumb|150px|Theo Huxtable]]
Many characters in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner universe]] seem to be fans of '''[[Wikipedia:Bill Cosby|Bill Cosby's]]''' work, especially the shows [[Wikipedia:The Cosby Show|The Cosby Show]] and [[Wikipedia:Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids|Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids]].

== Appearances ==
*[[Second Games Menu]] — The description of [[Homestar Talker]], "[[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] says the darndest things", is a play on the name of ''[[Wikipedia:Kids Say the Darnedest Things|Kids Say the Darnedest Things]]'', a show originally co-hosted by Art Linkletter and later revived with Bill Cosby hosting.

*[[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]] — [[Coach Z]] dresses as Theo Huxtable from ''The Cosby Show''. The shirt Coach Z is wearing is from the first-season episode "A Shirt Story", in which Denise tries to hand-make Theo a designer shirt and butchers it in the process. Malcolm Jamal-Warner played the role of this character.
*Email [[alternate universe]] — The pronunciation "ohbee kaybee" for "okay" was frequently said by the character Mushmouth on ''Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids''. It also made an appearance during a bit about Novocaine and the dentist's office in ''[[Wikipedia:Bill Cosby: Himself|Bill Cosby: Himself]]''.

*Email [[yes, wrestling]] — [[Homestar Runner]] thinks Strong Bad's costume is Rudy, from Fat Albert.
*Email [[winter pool]] — Homestar Runner is surprised that a swimming pool full of gelatin isn't naturally attracting oiled-up Bill Cosby. This is also reference to the fact that he was a spokesman for the Jell-O brand.

Sherlock

Onamuji: missing "been."

[[Image:cowcopter.png|thumb|right|140px|Sherlock looking for the worm]]

'''Sherlock''' is the star of [[Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]]. He looks like a strange, egg-shaped, blue cow and moves by hovering like a helicopter. His language appears to be a sort of weird, [[Lack of Intelligible Speech|obscure murmur]]. It is perhaps for this reason that he never speaks with any of the characters; instead, most of his lines are apparently soliloquies. His main goal in life is to get [[The Worm]] out of its hole in the ground.

It was learned that his name was '''Sherlock''' from the [[strongbad_email.exe|strongbad_email.exe DVD]]. Previously, he had been referred to as '''Cowcopter''' in the [[Sketchbook 2004#SK-2004-08-05|Sketchbook]] as well as in the program for his GIF (Easter egg from crazy cartoon). If not for [[The Brothers Chaps]] mentioning it, his name would never have been known, as it has never been mentioned on the site itself.

On the cover of the album "The Freewheelin' [[Eh! Steve!|Eh, Steve]]" (seen in [[Weclome Back]]), the song ''Talkin' Trying to Catch a Worm Blues'' is credited to '''Fresh Juice''', so this may be his pseudonym.

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

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

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

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

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

''{cut back to the Lappy}''

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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the—?

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

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

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

''{medium shot of Marzipan}''

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

''{close up of Strong Bad}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{close up of Strong Bad}''

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

''{medium shot of Marzipan}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{cut back to The Field}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{cut back to all three}''

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

''{medium shot of Strong Sad}''

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

''{medium shot of Marzipan}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:IdiotAndMoron.png|thumb|"Idiot and Moron"]]
*When Strong Bad says "Idiot and Moron, respectively", click on "ID and MO" to see an image of the states Idaho and Montana dancing with goofy faces.
**Click on Montana to change it into Missouri and "Idiot and Moron" into "[[Mike Chapman|Mike]] is a Moron!"
*At the end, click on The Cheat to see a button extolling the virtues of GreenCheat.
*At the end, after Strong Bad comments on the hamster wheel, click on the wall outlet.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still typing his "Okay for Mom" list on the Lappy}'' Boat take... ''{hits Enter}''
:''{Cut to behind Homestar, still trying to play his Atari 2600 game. Lights and TV come on.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' This is the easiest video game I've ever played. ''{the room darkens}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*Game Pak is the official name for the cartridges used on [[Nintendo]]'s early video game consoles, but Homestar's console uses a joystick, resembling the ones included with the [[Atari 2600]].
*"100% post-consumer" is used to indicate the amount and source of recycled material. In this case, all of the paper material comes from sources other than leftovers from manufacturing and is considered environmentally superior.
*[[Wikipedia:Overclocking|Overclocking]] is having a computer component run faster than the designed speed, usually referring to [[Wikipedia:Central processing unit|CPUs]].

===Trivia===
*Strong Bad is listing substitutes for his common use of the word "butt". His list reads:
<blockquote class="lappy email">
Okay for [[Parents|Mom]] 
1. rear-end 
2. back parts 
3. fanny 
4. tush 
5. tushie 
6. buns 
7. booty 
8. can 
9. tuckus 
10. hinders 
11. bwathom 
12. boontockle</blockquote>

<blockquote class="lappy email">
107. hiney 
108. patootie 
109. bum 
110. rump 
111. trunk 
112. sit-part 
113. boat take</blockquote>

*Strong Bad claims that his monthly power bill is $70,000. Assuming that he pays the US national average price of [http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/electricity/epm/table5_6_a.html 9.86¢/kWh], that would mean that he uses approximately 710 MWh/month ([[Wikipedia:megawatt hours|megawatt hours]] per month). This would be roughly 800 times more than the average usage of [http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/reps/enduse/er01_us.html 888 kWh/month] per US household. Assuming the Lappy consumes most of this power, and he leaves it on 16 hours a day, this would mean the Lappy draws about 1450 kW. The most powerful real power supplies only draw 2 kW.
**Strong Sad claims his bill uses eight trees worth of paper. Assuming a tree can produce [http://www.howstuffworks.com/question16.htm 80,500] sheets of paper, this would be about 644,000 sheets of paper. This means that each page of the bill averages out to be approximately 10.87¢.
**In addition, if a standard bill would cost about $87.56/month, there should be no more than 800 bills. Assuming each bill is distributed by a different power company, if a total of four sheets are included, the maximum paper that should be used is produced by just under one tree every two years.
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#gamma force|gamma force]]".
*Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]] when he announces for his eco-friendly piano.
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad describes his green methods for helping the environment."

===Remarks===
*Though the email senders say they are from Idaho and Missouri (ID and MO), the Easter egg shows the states Idaho and Montana (ID and MT). The day after the email was released, an additional Easter egg was added, fixing this and poking fun at the mistake.
*The only United States marketed hybrid car to achieve 65 miles per gallon in official tests was the [[wikipedia:Honda Insight|Honda Insight]] (61/70 mpg). It was out of production at this email's release, but has been reintroduced. Currently, the most efficient hybrid car is the [[wikipedia:Toyota Prius|Toyota Prius]] (45/48 mpg).
*Just like Strong Sad in [[concert]], Homestar is either playing with a left handed Atari 2600 joystick or is playing with the joystick sideways. The standard joystick has its button in the upper left hand corner.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When this email was originally released, while Homestar was playing the game and the power went out, every time he sighed, the wire stuck out of the top of the controller.
*Originally, after the close-up on the Lappy's "Environmentally Compliant Sticker" sticker, it disappeared and did not reappear for the rest of the email.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad claims he begins each day by "[[Not X|NOT]] dropping a piano on Marzipan".
*The window above the computer desk was last seen in [[cheat talk]] and the CGI portion of [[strongbad_email.exe Disc One|Disc 1]] of the [[strongbad_email.exe|Strong Bad Email DVD]].
*Marzipan and Strong Sad previously behaved as a team of environmental activists, as related on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 14.2]].
*The email references [[smoking]].
*Marzipole and eco-mail are [[portmanteaus]].
*This email makes another reference to [[Making Out]].
*The Piano falls out of [[hammerspace]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Strong Sad's iPod|Strong Sad's MP3 player]] strongly resembles an [[wikipedia:iPhone|iPhone]] or an [[wikipedia:iPod Touch|iPod Touch]].
*''[[Wikipedia:Thelma & Louise|Thelma & Louise]]'' is a 1991 film starring [[Wikipedia:Geena Davis|Geena Davis]] as Thelma and [[Wikipedia:Susan Sarandon|Susan Sarandon]] as Louise.
*The exclamation "Al Gore's beard!" is reference to 45th Vice President of the United States and noted environmental activist [[Wikipedia:Al Gore|Al Gore]], who after losing the 2000 presidential campaign famously grew a beard and went into seclusion for a short period of time before refocusing on the environment.
*The "Environmentally Compliant" sticker is a play on [[Wikipedia:Energy Star|Energy Star]] and similar certifications used on electronics devices to rate their electricity consumption.

===Fast Forward===
*Strong Sad's MP3 player later appears on the [[Podstar Runner]] background after it was updated.
*[[Homestar Runner]] would end up saying the same thing the flower said in a similar way in [[Hremail 7]].
*"GreenCheat" later became a patch and a tote bag in the [[store]].

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' What do you get when you email Strong Bad? You get a world of hurt.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hey Strong Bad, 
I think that you should do more 
e-mails every week. Like two. Then 
we could have double the Strong Bad, 
and double the fun. 
 
Jimmy, MN</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad temporarily stops reading and says, "Ooh! That's like Strong Bad gum!" after "double the fun," and reads "MN" as "Minini"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Okay little Jimmy. I'll do two emails this week. ''{stops typing, long pause}'' Number two.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hey Strong Bad, 
If you could time travel, what period 
in time would you travel to? 
 
Dave Nienaber 
Antioch, IL</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad draws out the "CH" in "Antioch" and pronounces "IL" as "Ill-annoy-us"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Naber, I'd definitely travel ahead about 15 minutes to when all the ladies show up for my "2003 Ladies' Choice Awards."

''{A logo flashes on screen saying "Ladies' Choice Awards" and a little ditty of music plays}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' About 70 or 50 fine women will be showing up to vote on which one gets to dance with yours truly. But since I don't have a time machine, I'll just have to wait it out.

''{After a few seconds, everything starts going in fast-forward. We only get brief glimpses of [[#Events During the Fast Forward|all the stuff that happens]] as Strong Bad forwards ahead, and we stop the fast-forward on a screen that's typed: "Now, On to the ladies!!!" Cut to Strong Bad, Coach Z, Strong Mad, Bubs, and Strong Sad awaiting the females. The room is decorated with a banner that says "weclome ladies/girls" and balloons reading "Ladies' Choice" and "Vote Strong Bad". Many nametags are set out on a tray for the ladies; however, there are no ladies to be seen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't get it! Where could the ladies be?

'''BUBS:''' You said there'd be the ladies!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know! I know! Maybe their bus flew off a bottomless cliff... and into, like... a bottomless pit. Strong Sad, did anybody call and say they weren't coming?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh yeah, I forgot—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or mention anything about a bottomless pit?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. About a million ladies called while you were checking your email and said they'd be a few minutes late.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, good! So their bus is okay.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, I'm just kidding! But Homsar called and said he was a million ladies tall.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! Oh, this has gone from bad to worse!

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, guys, check it out! ''{puts a nametag on}'' I'm hot girl number 37!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, Coach, don't do it! This is depressing enough as it is.

'''COACH Z:''' No, lookit me! ''{starts dancing}'' I'm shakin' it to the left and to the right!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Auuuuuuuuuuugh! ''{starts walking off}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{humming}'' Doo doo duh DOO doo doo doo duh doo doo!

'''STRONG MAD:''' I WANT ACTION!

''{The same ditty that played before plays again, except this time the logo reads "No Ladies Showed Up!" The banner falls from the wall. Cut back to the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm sorry you had to see that. I shoulda played it safe and gone ''back'' in time to where I ''know'' I'm awesome. But, since I don't have a time machine I guess I'll just have to wait it out. ''{stops typing}'' Umm... ''{starts typing again}'' Backwards.

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*In the beginning when after Strong Bad says, "double the Strong Bad", one can click on the words, "double the fun" to see "Strong Bad's Double Deuce-blemint Gum". The top reads "Strong Bad's Double Deuce-blemint Gum" and a "25¢" sticker, and the bottom reads "'It's light green!!!' Strong Bad's Double Deuce-blemint Gum is the product of choice."
*Before the "Fast Forward", one can click on "2003 [[Ladies' Choice Awards]]" to bring up the logo and play the music again.
*At the end, one can click on the word "Backwards" to see a mirror-image "Backwards" logo. The music also plays in reverse.
*Also at the end, one can click on the word "back" (as in "gone ''back'' in time") to see an Easter egg featuring Old-Timey Strong Bad and The Sneak.

:''{The egg begins in the [[Old-Timey]] era. Old-Timey Strong Bad is standing in front of a microphone. The background is standard Old-Timey fare.}''
:'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' I'm no apothecary, but before you trek long and wide on the Muskeegee trail, don't forget to try Uncle Strong Bad's Flavor Taste Style Chewing Powders!
:''{Old-Timey Strong Bad holds up a tin of the stuff.}''
:'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Nothing else increases brain juice quite like it! Once again, that's ''{holds the tin to the camera}'' Strong Bad's Flavor Taste Style Chewing Powders. ''{pulls the tin back to normal view}'' Whisk away the worries!
:''{The Sneak enters from the right.}''
:'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' ''{turns to The Sneak}'' How was that phraseology, The Sneak? Are your worries adequately whisked?
:''{The Sneak responds in typical The Sneak-fashion by wiggling his nose.}''
:'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Smashing! ''{pause}'' No, I mean... start smashing!
:''{The Sneak darts off-camera to the right, and the sound of glass shattering is heard.}''
:'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes! It's curtains for you, ''{shakes fist}'' Ming vase!
:''{Cut to a closeup of the tin of Uncle Strong Bad's Flavor Taste Style Chewing Powders.}''
:'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Uncle Strong Bad makes good!
:''{The words, "Strong Bad Powdertory, St. Louis, MO" appear beneath the can.}''
:'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a lower tone of voice and quicker than normal}'' Strong Bad Powdertory, Saint Louis Mo!

== Fun Facts ==

=== Events During the Fast Forward ===
*Strong Bad writes a [[Wikipedia:BASIC programming language|BASIC]] program.

<blockquote class="short compy email">10 print"STRONG BAD IS COOL!" 
20 goto 10 
30 end</blockquote>

*He types "run", and the screen fills with "STRONG BAD IS COOL!"
*He is also seen with the drink from [[interview]], a Thai iced tea.
*Strong Bad plays with the [[Peanut Strong Bad]] he created in [[action figure]].
*Strong Bad's computer screen shows the text "Wanna fight? Huh?" Strong Bad punches the screen.
*Strong Bad opens an email (his third today):

<blockquote class="short compy email">Hey Strongbad. 
I was just wondering what you 
thought of Delaware. 
 
Danny
</blockquote>

*The above email gets
<blockquote class="email" style="background:#003893; text-align:center">[[DELETED|DELETED]]!!!</blockquote>
*Strong Bad sticks a [[Sticky Notes|Post-it note]] on his computer that says "[[Van Buren]]".
*Strong Bad starts looking at the camera.
*Strong Bad stands up in front of the computer.
*Homestar Runner sits down and writes:

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">Hey Strong Bad, I built a time 
machine by putting a Gameboy 
in a blender. I used your 
blender and also your Gameboy. 
I will go into the future and 
buy you new ones.</blockquote>
*Strong Bad types
<blockquote class="short compy email">Only a few minutes left. I 
think I can hear some of the 
ladies giggling and saying how 
they like me and stuff. Or 
maybe that's just The Cheat. 
</blockquote>
*Strong Bad plays a game called "[[Pigs on Head]]", later made into an LCD game by [[Videlectrix]]. (He gets a Score of 1,200 on level 8.)
*Strong Bad puts on a sombrero.
*Strong Bad types, "Now, on to the ladies!!!"

=== The Nametags ===
Most start with "Hello, my name is hot girl #". Exceptions noted:
*48
*v2.14 (no "#")
*4077 ("hot lips" instead of "hot girl")
*00
*18
*7 (written as "hotgirl")
*Sue (written as "hotgirl"; no "#")
*40
*2
*8 (written as "hotgirl")
*13
*[[20X6|X6]]
*37
*26c
*26

===Explanations===
*An [[apothecary]] is similar to a modern-day [[Wikipedia:pharmacist|pharmacist]]. Apothecaries sold medicines, tobacco, cure-alls, and other such goods.

===Trivia===
*This is another instance of [[Strong Bad checking more than one email]].
*Strong Bad's Double Deuce-blemint Gum in the Easter egg (costing 25¢) has the slogan "It's light green!!!", and the package's fine print reads "Strong Bad's Double Deuce-blemint Gum is the product of choice".

===Remarks===
*The third line in Strong Bad's BASIC program is unreachable because the second line will make the program display "Strong Bad is cool" an infinite number of times.
*The contrast buttons on the Compy work during the fast forward sequence.
**If you freeze the Flash file during the fast forward sequence when Homestar comes and types about a time machine, you can adjust the contrast and Homestar's reflection will be affected, unlike in [[anything]] and [[50 emails]].
*The Compy's frame appears distorted during the fast-forward, yet the fast-forward has no effect on the screen features such as the text, Strong Bad's reflection, and the DELETED! screen. (See image below.)
*The Delaware email (copying [[sb_email 22]]) is an example of one of the [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#Pre-animation Process - 4:05 p.m.|five things not to email Strong Bad about]].
*When Coach Z is "shakin' it to left and to the right" he faces left and right from the viewer's perspective, not his own.
*Homestar misspells [[Nintendo#Game Boy|Game Boy]] as "Gameboy". It is properly spelled as two words.

===Goofs===
*At the end, the back button extends to the left of the text.

===Glitches===
[[Image:Sbemail 2-emails goof.PNG|thumb|Distortion Displacement]]
[[Image:2-faced Strong Bad.png|thumb|2-faced?]]
*After the backwards Easter egg, the word "backwards" doesn't fade out entirely, but remains on the screen for a second before disappearing.
*During the fast-forward sequence:
**Where the screen is filled with "Strong Bad is Cool", the text sometimes sticks out of the monitor.
**As Strong Bad takes a sip from his drink, there is no reflection of the drink on the screen.
**You can see Strong Bad's mouth is gone after he drinks.
**When Strong Bad punches the Compy, the distortion from the fast forward remains in the same spot of the frame, despite the fact it has left where the distortion logically occurs.
***When Strong Bad punches the screen, his arm is detached from his body.
**When Strong Bad turns around to look at the camera, the reflection on the Compy still shows his face instead of the back of his head.
**Strong Bad's reflection goes off the Compy's screen when he stands on the stool. Also, the head portion of the reflection is incorrectly affected by changing the Compy's contrast, and if the contrast is turned all the way up, this portion of the reflection disappears entirely.

===Inside References===
*The "[[Double Deuce]]" on the gum is a reference to the email [[the bird]] and [[20X6]].
*The Welcome sign reads "[[Unusual Greetings#Weclome|Weclome]]".
*The [[name tags]] Strong Bad prepared for the hot ladies can also be seen in [[The Luau]].
*This is another mention of a [[bottomless pit]].
*This is another reference to [[Van Buren]].
*This is another reference to [[Nintendo]].

===Real-World References===
*Double Deuce-blemint Gum is based on Wrigley's [[Wikipedia:Doublemint|Doublemint]] gum.
**"Double the Strong Bad ... double the fun" is a reference to the old Doublemint gum slogan "double your pleasure, double your fun".
*"Hot lips #4077" is a reference to the [[wikipedia:M*A*S*H (novels)|book]], [[imdb:tt0066026|movie]] and [[imdb:tt0068098|TV show]] M*A*S*H. All chronicled life at the 4077th [[wikipedia:Mobile army surgical hospital|Mobile Army Surgical Hospital]] during the Korean War. Major Margaret [[Wikipedia:Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan|"Hot Lips"]] Houlihan was a major character.
*A [[Wikipedia:Chinese ceramics|Ming vase]] is a vase produced by the Ming Dynasty in ancient China, and is therefore very valuable.
* The "Muskeegee trail" may be a reference to the Muskogee Trail, or the [[Wikipedia:Trail of Tears|Trail of Tears]].

===Fast Forward===
*Homestar's time machine is seen as an "alternate universe portal" in [[alternate universe]].
*Although a Strong Bad gum is seen in an Easter egg, in the email [[candy product]] Strong Bad claims he has not made a candy product.
*In the [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons menu]], the short [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]] has the description, "He's no apothecary.", a reference to Old-Timey Strong Bad in this email's Easter egg.
*A similar BASIC program from the fast-forward (however, written in [[Wikipedia:Applesoft BASIC|Applesoft BASIC]]) was seen again in [[Workin' on the Game]].

== DVD Version ==
*The gum and event logo Easter eggs are viewable using the angle button on your DVD remote.
*The "Backwards" Easter egg plays twice when activated.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' What do you get when you email Strong Bad? You get a world of hurt.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hey Strong Bad, 
I think that you should do more 
e-mails every week. Like two. Then 
we could have double the Strong Bad, 
and double the fun. 
 
Jimmy, MN</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad temporarily stops reading and says, "Ooh! That's like Strong Bad gum!" after "double the fun," and reads "MN" as "Minini"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Okay little Jimmy. I'll do two emails this week. ''{stops typing, long pause}'' Number two.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hey Strong Bad, 
If you could time travel, what period 
in time would you travel to? 
 
Dave Nienaber 
Antioch, IL</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad draws out the "CH" in "Antioch" and pronounces "IL" as "Ill-annoy-us"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Naber, I'd definitely travel ahead about 15 minutes to when all the ladies show up for my "2003 Ladies' Choice Awards."

''{A logo flashes on screen saying "Ladies' Choice Awards" and a little ditty of music plays}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' About 70 or 50 fine women will be showing up to vote on which one gets to dance with yours truly. But since I don't have a time machine, I'll just have to wait it out.

''{After a few seconds, everything starts going in fast-forward. We only get brief glimpses of [[#Events During the Fast Forward|all the stuff that happens]] as Strong Bad forwards ahead, and we stop the fast-forward on a screen that's typed: "Now, On to the ladies!!!" Cut to Strong Bad, Coach Z, Strong Mad, Bubs, and Strong Sad awaiting the females. The room is decorated with a banner that says "weclome ladies/girls" and balloons reading "Ladies' Choice" and "Vote Strong Bad". Many nametags are set out on a tray for the ladies; however, there are no ladies to be seen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't get it! Where could the ladies be?

'''BUBS:''' You said there'd be the ladies!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know! I know! Maybe their bus flew off a bottomless cliff... and into, like... a bottomless pit. Strong Sad, did anybody call and say they weren't coming?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh yeah, I forgot—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or mention anything about a bottomless pit?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. About a million ladies called while you were checking your email and said they'd be a few minutes late.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, good! So their bus is okay.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, I'm just kidding! But Homsar called and said he was a million ladies tall.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! Oh, this has gone from bad to worse!

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, guys, check it out! ''{puts a nametag on}'' I'm hot girl number 37!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, Coach, don't do it! This is depressing enough as it is.

'''COACH Z:''' No, lookit me! ''{starts dancing}'' I'm shakin' it to the left and to the right!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Auuuuuuuuuuugh! ''{starts walking off}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{humming}'' Doo doo duh DOO doo doo doo duh doo doo!

'''STRONG MAD:''' I WANT ACTION!

''{The same ditty that played before plays again, except this time the logo reads "No Ladies Showed Up!" The banner falls from the wall. Cut back to the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm sorry you had to see that. I shoulda played it safe and gone ''back'' in time to where I ''know'' I'm awesome. But, since I don't have a time machine I guess I'll just have to wait it out. ''{stops typing}'' Umm... ''{starts typing again}'' Backwards.

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*In the beginning when after Strong Bad says, "double the Strong Bad", one can click on the words, "double the fun" to see "Strong Bad's Double Deuce-blemint Gum". The top reads "Strong Bad's Double Deuce-blemint Gum" and a "25¢" sticker, and the bottom reads "'It's light green!!!' Strong Bad's Double Deuce-blemint Gum is the product of choice."
*Before the "Fast Forward", one can click on "2003 [[Ladies' Choice Awards]]" to bring up the logo and play the music again.
*At the end, one can click on the word "Backwards" to see a mirror-image "Backwards" logo. The music also plays in reverse.
*Also at the end, one can click on the word "back" (as in "gone ''back'' in time") to see an Easter egg featuring Old-Timey Strong Bad and The Sneak.

:''{The egg begins in the [[Old-Timey]] era. Old-Timey Strong Bad is standing in front of a microphone. The background is standard Old-Timey fare.}''

:''{Old-Timey Strong Bad holds up a tin of the stuff.}''
:'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Nothing else increases brain juice quite like it! Once again, that's ''{holds the tin to the camera}'' Strong Bad's Flavor Taste Style Chewing Powders. ''{pulls the tin back to normal view}'' Whisk away the worries!

== Fun Facts ==

=== Events During the Fast Forward ===
*Strong Bad writes a [[Wikipedia:BASIC programming language|BASIC]] program.

<blockquote class="short compy email">10 print"STRONG BAD IS COOL!" 
20 goto 10 
30 end</blockquote>

*He types "run", and the screen fills with "STRONG BAD IS COOL!"
*He is also seen with the drink from [[interview]], a Thai iced tea.
*Strong Bad plays with the [[Peanut Strong Bad]] he created in [[action figure]].
*Strong Bad's computer screen shows the text "Wanna fight? Huh?" Strong Bad punches the screen.
*Strong Bad opens an email (his third today):

<blockquote class="short compy email">Hey Strongbad. 
I was just wondering what you 
thought of Delaware. 
 
Danny
</blockquote>

*The above email gets
<blockquote class="email" style="background:#003893; text-align:center">[[DELETED|DELETED]]!!!</blockquote>
*Strong Bad sticks a [[Sticky Notes|Post-it note]] on his computer that says "[[Van Buren]]".
*Strong Bad starts looking at the camera.
*Strong Bad stands up in front of the computer.
*Homestar Runner sits down and writes:

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">Hey Strong Bad, I built a time 
machine by putting a Gameboy 
in a blender. I used your 
blender and also your Gameboy. 
I will go into the future and 
buy you new ones.</blockquote>
*Strong Bad types
<blockquote class="short compy email">Only a few minutes left. I 
think I can hear some of the 
ladies giggling and saying how 
they like me and stuff. Or 
maybe that's just The Cheat. 
</blockquote>
*Strong Bad plays a game called "[[Pigs on Head]]", later made into an LCD game by [[Videlectrix]]. (He gets a Score of 1,200 on level 8.)
*Strong Bad puts on a sombrero.
*Strong Bad types, "Now, on to the ladies!!!"

=== The Nametags ===
Most start with "Hello, my name is hot girl #". Exceptions noted:
*48
*v2.14 (no "#")
*4077 ("hot lips" instead of "hot girl")
*00
*18
*7 (written as "hotgirl")
*Sue (written as "hotgirl"; no "#")
*40
*2
*8 (written as "hotgirl")
*13
*[[20X6|X6]]
*37
*26c
*26

===Explanations===
*An [[apothecary]] is similar to a modern-day [[Wikipedia:pharmacist|pharmacist]]. Apothecaries sold medicines, tobacco, cure-alls, and other such goods.

===Trivia===
*This is another instance of [[Strong Bad checking more than one email]].
*Strong Bad's Double Deuce-blemint Gum in the Easter egg (costing 25¢) has the slogan "It's light green!!!", and the package's fine print reads "Strong Bad's Double Deuce-blemint Gum is the product of choice".

===Remarks===
*The third line in Strong Bad's BASIC program is unreachable because the second line will make the program display "Strong Bad is cool" an infinite number of times.
*The contrast buttons on the Compy work during the fast forward sequence.
**If you freeze the Flash file during the fast forward sequence when Homestar comes and types about a time machine, you can adjust the contrast and Homestar's reflection will be affected, unlike in [[anything]] and [[50 emails]].
*The Compy's frame appears distorted during the fast-forward, yet the fast-forward has no effect on the screen features such as the text, Strong Bad's reflection, and the DELETED! screen. (See image below.)
*The Delaware email (copying [[sb_email 22]]) is an example of one of the [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#Pre-animation Process - 4:05 p.m.|five things not to email Strong Bad about]].
*When Coach Z is "shakin' it to left and to the right" he faces left and right from the viewer's perspective, not his own.
*Homestar misspells [[Nintendo#Game Boy|Game Boy]] as "Gameboy". It is properly spelled as two words.

===Goofs===
*At the end, the back button extends to the left of the text.

===Glitches===
[[Image:Sbemail 2-emails goof.PNG|thumb|Distortion Displacement]]
[[Image:2-faced Strong Bad.png|thumb|2-faced?]]
*After the backwards Easter egg, the word "backwards" doesn't fade out entirely, but remains on the screen for a second before disappearing.
*During the fast-forward sequence:
**Where the screen is filled with "Strong Bad is Cool", the text sometimes sticks out of the monitor.
**As Strong Bad takes a sip from his drink, there is no reflection of the drink on the screen.
**You can see Strong Bad's mouth is gone after he drinks.
**When Strong Bad punches the Compy, the distortion from the fast forward remains in the same spot of the frame, despite the fact it has left where the distortion logically occurs.
***When Strong Bad punches the screen, his arm is detached from his body.
**When Strong Bad turns around to look at the camera, the reflection on the Compy still shows his face instead of the back of his head.
**Strong Bad's reflection goes off the Compy's screen when he stands on the stool. Also, the head portion of the reflection is incorrectly affected by changing the Compy's contrast, and if the contrast is turned all the way up, this portion of the reflection disappears entirely.

===Inside References===
*The "[[Double Deuce]]" on the gum is a reference to the email [[the bird]] and [[20X6]].
*The Welcome sign reads "[[Unusual Greetings#Weclome|Weclome]]".
*The [[name tags]] Strong Bad prepared for the hot ladies can also be seen in [[The Luau]].
*This is another mention of a [[bottomless pit]].
*This is another reference to [[Van Buren]].
*This is another reference to [[Nintendo]].

===Real-World References===
*Double Deuce-blemint Gum is based on Wrigley's [[Wikipedia:Doublemint|Doublemint]] gum.
**"Double the Strong Bad ... double the fun" is a reference to the old Doublemint gum slogan "double your pleasure, double your fun".
*"Hot lips #4077" is a reference to the [[wikipedia:M*A*S*H (novels)|book]], [[imdb:tt0066026|movie]] and [[imdb:tt0068098|TV show]] M*A*S*H. All chronicled life at the 4077th [[wikipedia:Mobile army surgical hospital|Mobile Army Surgical Hospital]] during the Korean War. Major Margaret [[Wikipedia:Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan|"Hot Lips"]] Houlihan was a major character.
*A [[Wikipedia:Chinese ceramics|Ming vase]] is a vase produced by the Ming Dynasty in ancient China, and are therefore very valuable.
* The "Muskeegee trail" may be a reference to the Muskogee Trail, or the [[Wikipedia:Trail of Tears|Trail of Tears]].

===Fast Forward===
*Homestar's time machine is seen as an "alternate universe portal" in [[alternate universe]].
*Although a Strong Bad gum is seen in an Easter egg, in the email [[candy product]] Strong Bad claims he has not made a candy product.
*In the [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons menu]], the short [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]] has the description, "He's no apothecary.", a reference to Old-Timey Strong Bad in this email's Easter egg.
*A similar BASIC program from the fast-forward (however, written in [[Wikipedia:Applesoft BASIC|Applesoft BASIC]]) was seen again in [[Workin' on the Game]].

== DVD Version ==
*The gum and event logo Easter eggs are viewable using the angle button on your DVD remote.
*The "Backwards" Easter egg plays twice when activated.

The Cheat

2009-07-29T20:46:20Z

Onamuji: /* Biography */ Nobuyoshi is a boys' name. Am I the only one who ever noticed that?

{{charnav|The Cheat|cheat|Strong Bad|Strong Mad}}
[[Image:The Cheat Character Video.PNG|thumb|"Meh."]]
== Biography ==
[[Image:thecheat physiology.png|thumb|[[Physiology of The Cheat|Yet another biological mystery]]]]

'''The Cheat''', whose name includes the [[integral article]], or pronounced '''The Chort''' by [[Coach Z]], is what could be called [[Strong Bad]]'s [[Strong Bad and The Cheat's relationship|sidekick]] and [[Strong Mad]]'s [[Strong Mad and The Cheat's relationship|best friend]]. According to his [[Yearbook Character Page]], his motto is "No rule is solid". He is at knee-height (1' 2" and 18lb., or 35.56 cm and 8.17 kg) and covered with yellow fur with prominent black spots down his back. In [[secret recipes]] and [[retirement]], it is shown that The Cheat's skin is a pinkish flesh color under his fur. His arms resemble flippers (but he's still able to type and use a computer), and he doesn't have any legs to speak of. Instead, The Cheat crawls along ground, similar to a [[Wikipedia:pseudopod|pseudopod]]. He has round black eyes and a pointed [[Physiology of The Cheat#Facebone|"facebone"]]. The Cheat presents an adorable figure that is marred only by his large [[The Cheat's Gold Tooth|gold tooth]], which he is hesitant to show, as seen in his character video. In [[lunch special]], Strong Bad says The Cheat reminds him of a [[duck]].

The Cheat lives in the [[The King of Town]]'s grill which, according to [[Strong Sad]], is a nice place. The Cheat works at an unspecified tech company with [[Homestar Runner]] and Strong Bad at [[The Office]], possibly tech support. Strong Bad's retelling of how he met The Cheat in [[flashback]] professes that he was hidden in a giant [[egg]] containing a lifetime supply of fish sticks, though it's not clear if it can be taken as truth or not. No one knows when The Cheat's birthday (or Cheatday) actually is, so it is celebrated on April 18, the date on his [[cheatday|Scandinavian fake ID]], since it's the most likely day that his birthday isn't. According to the client list in the [[On Point Kings]] recruitment brochure seen in [[more armies]], The Cheat has a sister. His favorite color may be blue, as suspected from [[Drive Thru]].

[[Image:TheCheatAsTheCheat.png|thumb|Now pretend this is The Cheat...]]

The Cheat is loyal to Strong Bad for many reasons. In [[privileges]], The Cheat earns points for doing things that amuse Strong Bad, and when he gets enough points, he earns extra privileges (e.g. use of the mute button on the remote control). Strong Bad pays The Cheat for his services; in [[lackey]], he reveals that The Cheat thinks that pencil shavings are legal tender, only for The Cheat to trick [[Bubs]] into accepting the shavings as cash. Strong Bad also pays The Cheat soft tacos for being his lawyer, as evidenced in e-mail [[rough copy]]. Strong Bad coerces and bullies The Cheat into being his lackey to a certain extent, and the two share a somewhat abusive relationship, particularly since Strong Bad is fond of [[Kicking The Cheat|kicking him]]. In [[animal]], The Cheat was overshadowed by [[Sterrance]] when [[Strong Bad]] declared Sterrance to be "way cuter than that stupid ugly old washed-up The Cheat [he] used to have." In [[secret recipes]], Strong Bad said he had a recipe for cooking "The Chekt". It's possible that Strong Bad's bullying has given The Cheat an almost murderous hatred of him at times (as in [[secret recipes]] and [[disconnected]]). Finally, The Cheat sees Strong Bad's brother Strong Mad as a source of protection, as seen in The Cheat's character video. While The Cheat is more than willing to help Strong Bad in his schemes of obvious [[Crimes committed by Strong Bad|illegitimacy]], it must be noted that he isn't very good at it. Whenever he and Strong Bad try to pull off a heist, prank, etc., The Cheat usually screws something up and thus causes the plan to fail. A few examples of this are in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], [[A Jumping Jack Contest]], and [[caper]].

[[Image:Cheatdrums.jpg|thumb|Break it down]]

The Cheat is an amateur [[Flash]] animator in his spare time, creating [[Powered by The Cheat]] cartoons and music videos first on an older orange iMac computer, [[Tangerine Dreams]], and later on a [[Monosodium Dreams|newer iMac computer]] in [[redesign]]. These animations sometimes make their way into [[Strong Bad Email]]s, often even blurring "reality" with The Cheat's fantasy. The Cheat often uses his animations as an outlet for his pent-up feelings of abuse and lack of appreciation, rewarding his fictional self with [[trophies]], fame, and friendship. He's also a master of many [[Characters' Instruments|instruments]]; he plays the piano, the flute, [[The Cheat's keyboard|the keyboard]],{{ref|1}} the drums,{{ref|2}} the guitar,{{ref|3}} and his [[The Cheat's Record Player|record player]].{{ref|4}} He also is a [[DJ Teh C.'s Equipment|music producer]], doing remixes for The Geddup Noise ([[geddup noise]]) and the King of Town's New Jam, "Not Talkin' 'bout Butter" ([[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2]]) under the name "DJ Teh Cheat." Also, as evidenced by scenes in [[Seasonal Sweaters]] and [[No Hands On Deck!]], he can knit. According to Strong Bad, he is [[rough copy|"the best lawyer soft tacos can buy"]], but since his idea of suing is throwing water bombs at the defendant, this statement might not be sound. However, his aim with water bombs is so good, he can hit Strong Sad from three football fields away.

[[Image:FleaPrisonRiot.png|thumb|[[retirement|Flea Prison Riot!]]]]

The Cheat's less admirable qualities include being [[Smoking#The Cheat's Smoking|addicted to cigarettes]], and extensive use of [[Internet Slang|Leetspeak]] on the computer. His [[Contacts|AIM screenname]] is ''Cheatachu72''. He also seems to possess [[The Cheat's Head Exploding|explosive properties]], which can cause his head to explode with no lasting effects. It is debated exactly what triggers it, since The Cheat's [[Physiology of The Cheat|anatomy]] provides no information about the subject. It could be triggered chemically (i.e. [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats|carbonated drinks and Pop Rocks]]), when the brain is being overworked, such as in [[pizzaz|states of confusion]], or even for [[couch patch|no apparent reason]]. The most spectacular display was in [[Happy Fireworks]], when he was shaken by Strong Mad and thrown into the air. This provided a huge explosion resembling fireworks. The Cheat once had a battle with insomnia, as Strong Bad recounted in [[bedtime story]], due to watching a shockumentary about gingivitis. To go to sleep, he needs [[The Denzel]], a glass of [[suudsu]], and a story about him and [[Moses Malone]], followed by a chainsaw lullaby. Failing that, two or three [[Roach Killa!|roach foggers]] are used. The Cheat also attracts fleas, as seen in [[retirement]]. As explained in [[bottom 10]], The Cheat has a foul stench when he is wet. He is a very good swimmer, however, as seen in [[keep cool]], when he easily skims across the surface of the water in a fashion similar to a speedboat.

[[Image:TheCheat 3D variation.PNG|thumb|3D The Cheat!]]
Despite these issues, ladies are often attracted to The Cheat. Strong Bad advises his fans to use a cute pet like The Cheat to attract women in both [[lady...ing]] and [[lady fan]]. At times, however, The Cheat's charms are so irresistible that ladies prefer him to Strong Bad. This is seen most clearly in [[huttah!]], in which several people send emails indicating that they are more interested in The Cheat than Strong Bad. The Cheat's capture of so many girls' affections contrasts sharply with Strong Bad's [[Strong Bad's Ladies|lack of success with women]]. The Cheat [[Marzipan and The Cheat's Relationship|seems to have a particular crush]] on [[Marzipan]], as seen in [[do over]], in which The Cheat (in Homestar-esque makeup and covered in lip-shaped lipstick marks) is seen with Marzipan. He also went out on a date with Marzipan in [[Date Nite]], but it did not work out in the end, as Marzipan found out that he had been declawed and then dumped him.

==The Cheat's Language==

The Cheat speaks entirely in a language of [[Lack of Intelligible Speech|high-pitched squeaks and growls]], which is actually called "The Cheat", that other characters apparently understand just fine. It's hinted that he knows some English, as he frequently says things that sound like fitting sentences not only in tone, but in how the words sound (for instance, in [[coloring]], he sounded out "okay"). At other times, however, it seems to be just gibberish.

According to [[Matt Chapman]] in [[Club Aquatica Interview - 29 Oct 2003|this interview]], The Cheat does all the voices in his Flash cartoons. He normally can speak only in squeaks, but can impersonate the other characters speaking English remarkably well for a The Cheat.

The Cheat also provides the voice for the character [[Firebert]] in the ''[[Cheat Commandos]] Adventures'' [[TV show]], in which he speaks entirely in his native language.

Interestingly, during ''[[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]]'' The Cheat plays the role of the villain [[Craig]], when Craig is revealed the first part of The Cheat's monologue actually appears to be in English using his [[Powered by The Cheat]] Homestar voice. However, this may just be a glitch since the rest of the speech has clearly been dubbed over his The Cheat noises.

{{dvd|Everything Else, Volume 3}}

==Transcript==
''{A closeup of a time clock attached to a telephone pole. A time card is punched in. The words "Weclome Back" are shown, and flash various colors. Pull out to see Bubs holding a cup of coffee, in front of a table with styrofoam cups and an urn, in the Field. Marzipan enters and also punches in.}''

'''BUBS:''' Well, hello, Marzi-person! Welcome back.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, howdy, stranger!

'''BUBS:''' Stranger? I'm Bubs, remember?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{unimpressed}'' Uh, I know. It's a joke.

'''BUBS:''' That's hilarious! How was your vacation?

'''MARZIPAN:''' It was toot sweet! I took the Cool Tapes on a midwestern tour ''{the tour map pops up}'' of bead shops and topiary gardens.

''{Cut to a topiary garden; Marzipan, Strong Mad and The Cheat are playing in the band}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing}''
:Cool tapes are cool, and we're better than ever,
:Cool tapes are cool, 'cause we're light as a feather.
:Keep it down with that real cool flavor,
:Me and The Cheat and our bass player.
:Rockin' the spot.
:Yeah, we're rockin' the spot.

''{Marzipan appears behind a topiary tree shaped like [[William Shakespeare]].}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Thanks, y'all! And don't forget we've got cool 7-inches for sale over at our merch table.

''{Cut to the merchandise table. Homsar is standing on it, it has a sign reading "Merch Masala" and another reading "Steven Inches $[[Pi|π]]"}''

'''HOMSAR:''' I'm a little light in the leftovers!

''{Homsar's hat flies off the left of the screen, then returns from the right and hits him on the head before settling back into its original position. Cut back to Bubs and Marzipan at the coffee table.}''

'''BUBS:''' I bet you drove the shapèd plants wild.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah, they were way into it. So what did you do?

'''BUBS:''' I drove my baloney sandwich truck down to the beach.

''{Cut to the tropical island. Bubs's "Baloney Sammich Truck", which resembles an ice-cream truck, doesn't quite fit, and the rear wheels are in the water.}''

'''BUBS:''' BAH-loh-NEH!!! Come on, people! Come on, palm tree! I'm-tryingtosellabaloneysammich!

''{An Atari seagull squawks and flies past.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{angrily to Atari seagull}'' You shut your face!

''{Cut back to the coffee table.}''

'''BUBS:''' I sold exactly zero baloney sandwiches!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, that's great!

'''BUBS:''' Yeah, it was pretty much my best summer ever.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{walks in}'' Same here. I spent two glorious weeks at Gluten Camp. I learned more about this oft-misunderstood plant protein than I ever thought possible.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' What''eva!'' ''{puts a time card in the time clock}'' I was across the lake at Glutton Camp. And we challenged those pansies to an obstacle course!

''{Cut to the obstacle course, pan across to see Strong Sad and the King of Town stuck in two tire swings.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, should we call it a draw?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Hecks, no! I got stuck in here 10 minutes before you!

''{Pan across to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Let's go, Glorten Camp! Glorten Camp is pain and scranin' on yous!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh yeah?

''{cut back to the coffee table}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well while you slo-mos were slounching around on your haunchy laurels, I was checking the most amazing email of my career!

''{Cut through static to Strong Bad, holding the Lappy, on a plane. Screen markers and a recording light are visible, as though viewed through a camcorder. Strong Bad leans in and adjusts the focus.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, Lappy, when I mash record on that camera, we're gonna perform the world's first death-defying midair SBEmail check! We'll make the cover of all the latest blogs! Now, are you psyched?! I'm psyched, are you psyched?!? OK, 3! 2! 1!

''{Strong Bad leans in and presses a button on the camera. Cut through static to Strong Bad standing on the ground. The camera drops to the ground and slowly falls over.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, the believing is hard to be doing, because that was so incredible! We met so many celebrities in midair! And the part with the narwhale was ''so'' illegal.

''{Cut through static to Strong Bad, back at the coffee table}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, cuh-rap! What am I, your dad? I can't believe I pulled the old "mash Stop when you think you're mashing Record and mash Record when you think you're mashing Stop" routine on myself.

'''MARZIPAN:''' But if we've all been on vacation, who's been taking care of the website?

''{Homestar Runner walks in, tired, wearing a dressing gown, a nightcap and Nebulon slippers, with a cinnamon 5 o'clock shadow.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{yawns}'' What's up, my brothers? Let no one say the Homestar Runner don't know how to nap. What is it, like mid-May or something?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, try "early July."

''{Zoom in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aah! I slept through June!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yup.

''{Zoom in even tighter.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aah! -gatha Christie would never sleep through June... neither would Angela Lansbury.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aren't they the same person?

'''BUBS:''' Yeah.

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Yep.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I think they are.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yes, they definitely are.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, it's settled then. Now, what's this I hear about some of you guys sleeping through June? I'll let it slide this time, but June-sleepers will not be tolerated from this day henceforth. Now, whose turn was it to ''{rolls the "r"}'' bring the doughnuts?

'''EVERYONE BUT HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yours!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I'll let it slide this time, but dough-not rememberers will dough-not be tolerated from now on. All right, everybody, everybody. It's time to get this www-dot-show back on the road-dot-com. Now, places! Aaand...
''{Cut to everyone standing in regular clothes in front of a plain blue background. The words "everybody, everybody" appear in front of them, zooming and flashing. The music from the [[Intro]] page plays.}''

'''CHILDREN:''' Everybody, everybody! Everybody, everybody! Everybody, everybody! Everybody, everybody!

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Freewheelinsteve.PNG|thumb|The Freewheelin' Eh, Steve]]
* In Homsar's scene, click on the "Steven Inches" sign to see a "The Freewheelin' Eh, Steve" album cover. On the bottom it lists the songs ''Sweet Cups and Cakes'' by [[The Wheelchair|Wheelchair Man]], ''Eh, Steve's Dream'' by Eh, Steve!, and ''Talkin' Trying to Catch a Worm Blues'' by [[Sherlock|Fresh Juice]].
* During the close-up after the King of Town first appears, click on his crown to see his "I'm with Glutton Camp" [[T-shirt]].
* Click on the left "everybody" at the end of the toon to see what Pom Pom and The Poopsmith presumably did during their summer vacation.
:''{Pom Pom and the Poopsmith are both leaning on the palm tree on the deserted island. The Poopsmith is wearing Strong Bad's [[Cool Shades|Dangeresque sunglasses]], and Pom Pom is wearing Homestar's Dangeresque sunglasses. After a few moments, a thought cloud appears and reveals that Pom Pom is thinking of a baloney sandwich. Another one appears shortly afterwards and shows that the Poopsmith is too.}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*This toon followed the birth of [[Mike Chapman]]'s daughter, [[Very, Very Little Girl]], in the late spring/early summer of 2006, during which time the site went nearly seven weeks (48 days) without a major update, the longest hiatus on record. There were various minor updates during this period, but no toons.
*"Toot sweet" is a play on the French phrase ''"tout de suite"'' (which translates to "immediately" or "at once"). Both phrases are pronounced roughly the same. "Toot sweet" was also the name of the candy product invented by Caractacus Potts in [[Wikipedia:Chitty Chitty Bang Bang|Chitty Chitty Bang Bang]].
*The Baloney Truck is a spoof on the [[Wikipedia:Ice cream truck|Ice Cream Truck/Van]], which is popular in some parts of the world.
*A 7-inch record is a single.

===Trivia===
[[Image:Cool tapes tour.png|thumb|300px|Cool Tapes' June 2006 tour]]

*The [[Cool Tapes]] tour goes through East Westerburg, Beadsburg, Bead Store City, Sculpted Busheston, New Beadshop, Topiarianapolis, Beeeeeds, and Tope Gardens. Other towns on the map are Northtime, [[Pants]]burg, Shoigut, [[Bill Cosby|Thuxtable]], and The Slickster.
*There are trees in the topiary garden shaped as an ice-cream cone, [[Trogdor]], a tree stump, and [[William Shakespeare]].
*According to the sign on the side of Bubs's [[Baloney Sammich Truck]], he's selling:
**"Gumball Surprise"– A baloney sandwich with a pink gumball on top.
**"Open Smiley Face"– An open baloney sandwich with a smiley face drawn on it in mustard.
**"I Heart Baloney"– A baloney sandwich with heart-shaped bread.
**"Dog Food"– A baloney sandwich with bone-shaped bread.
**"It's Not a Real Popsicle" – A baloney sandwich with Popsicle-shaped bread.
**"Inside Out"– A piece of bread between two slices of baloney.
*Strong Bad's account of what happened during his "Skydive" makes it clear that he made up the entire event, another example of [[blatant lies]].
*In the DVD commentary on Strong Bad Email [[island]], Matt said they should use the island again. In addition to this cartoon, they already reused it in [[disconnected]].

===Remarks===
*[[Wikipedia:Agatha Christie|Agatha Christie]] and [[Wikipedia:Angela Lansbury|Angela Lansbury]] are not, in fact, the same person. Christie was a crime fiction author, and Lansbury is an actress famous for ''playing'' a crime fiction author on ''[[Wikipedia:Murder, She Wrote|Murder, She Wrote]]''. Lansbury ''did'', however, play Christie's fictional sleuth [[Wikipedia:Miss Marple|Miss Marple]] in the movie adaptation of Christie's ''[[Wikipedia:The Mirror Crack'd|The Mirror Crack'd]]''.
*The spelling ''narwhale'' and Strong Bad's pronunciation of it are accepted variants; the more common spelling is ''narwhal''.
*When the back of the Lappy is seen, it has none of the connection ports from [[isp]], but it is possible that Strong Bad's glove may be covering them.
*Homestar effectively rolls the "r" when saying, "Whose turn was it to bring the doughnuts?", despite his speech impediment.
*The minute hand on the time clock is too long to point to 6 or 12.
*At the end, below the "everybody, everybody" words, The Cheat is actually floating and not touching the ground.
*When Strong Bad is in the plane, the plane is bumping up and down, yet Strong Bad is not.
*In the last scene, The Cheat and Strong Mad suddenly appear after Homestar asks whose turn it was to bring the doughnuts.

===Goofs===
*Whenever Marzipan blinks, the action causes her outline to be intruded.
*When Cool Tapes plays in the Topiary Garden, no amplifiers are present. Yet, when it closes up on Marzipan in the following shot, a "Marzipan" amplifier atop a "Marzipan" cabinet is present behind her.
*Whenever Homestar blinks, his stubble is protruded.

===Inside References===

* "Fresh Juice" (from the Eh! Steve album) is one of the suggested death metal lyrics from the worksheet in [[death metal]].
* Homestar is wearing [[cinnamon]] on his face, and his slippers resemble [[Nebulon]], who first appeared on [[Main Page 1]].
* Marzipan's comment, "Who's been taking care of the website?" is an example of [[Fourth Wall Breaks|breaking the fourth wall]].
* Strong Bad says "Oh, [[Crap|cuh-rap]]!"
* Bubs proclaims that this was his [[Best/Worst X Ever|best summer ever]].
* A seven inch record was seen in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2]].

**The Eh! Steve song "Sweet Cups and Cakes" is likely a ''This Is Spinal Tap'' reference as well, since "Cups and Cakes" is the name of a Spinal Tap song.
*Strong Mad's violin-styled bass bears a resemblance to the [[Wikipedia:Hofner|Hofner]] bass played by [[Wikipedia:Paul McCartney|Paul McCartney]]. However, Strong Mad plays right handed, while Paul is left-handed.

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

'''MATT:''' This cartoon is called Weclome Back, and weclome ''you'' back—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah

'''MATT:''' —to more commenting... aries.

'''MIKE:''' Did you ever have to punch a time clock at any of your jobs?

'''MATT:''' I did. At, uh... uh... United Artists Theater I worked at.

'''MIKE:''' I had to do it once too, when I worked in that warehouse.

'''MATT:''' Mm-hmm.

'''MIKE:''' It made me feel like the common man.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Wasn't there something— It made me feel like that— the sheep and the wolf from those Looney Tunes cartoons. Wasn't theirs just kind of on a pole like that?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think so. ''{pause}'' So this was the second version of this song. There was a much darker... version of the Cool—

'''MATT:''' Sonic Youth-ier version.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' "Stop creepin' at me" is how it ends. ''{pause}'' We did that as a Quote of the Day, I think, didn't we?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, we did. And Mirch Masala is an Indian restaurant about half a mile from here.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Except it's M-I-R... C-H.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, right. Right.

'''MATT:''' Right.

'''MIKE:''' Hence the joke.

'''MATT:''' Exactly. There's an Easter egg there of "The Freewheelin' Eh, Steve". What's that?

'''MIKE:''' Oh, yeah. ''{pause}'' Kinda wish there was a baloney sandwich truck. We should try to convince our friend, Matt, to, uh... have a baloney sandwich truck.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. ''{laughing}'' Look at that one that looks like— looks like a double Popsicle.

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

'''MATT:''' So the ''bread'' is cut to look like a double Popsicle, and then there's just baloney.

'''MIKE:''' ''{partially over Matt's previous comment}'' And then there's a piece of baloney in it.

'''MATT:''' That's great. ''{pause}'' What did ''you'' learn about... gluten, Mike, when you decided— did you do any wiki research for gluten?

'''MIKE:''' I think I did, it's, uh... Yeah, what, like, bread?

'''MATT:''' Mm-hmm.

'''MIKE:''' Yeast...

'''MATT:''' Is it pro-biotic?

'''MIKE:''' I don't know. A lot of people were— Right after this... I found out a lot of people go on no-gluten diets.

'''MATT:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' Guess it's bad, yeah. Some...

'''MATT:''' So, I was pr—

'''MIKE:''' Nice 3D tire swings, Matt.

'''MATT:''' Thanks. I was proud of that.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. ''{pause}'' That, uh, "I'm With Gluten Camp" shirt is sort of loosely based on, uh — just the colors of it — the, uh, Science Olympiad shirts that I think I got in sixth grade. It was this... light yellow shirt with a blue Science Olympiad logo.

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

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' That looks like one of those helmets that babies have to wear when they smoosh their head too much on one side.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I did some nice stretchy, perspective-y—

'''MIKE:''' Arms.

'''MATT:''' —arms for Strong Bad there, too.

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' Says talk. Say talk, Matt!

'''MATT:''' Uh, well... what is he..?

'''MIKE:''' Did you ever pull that trick? The old record—

'''MATT:''' Well, I'll tell you who ''did'' pull that trick was this guy, ''Justin'', from high school—

'''MIKE:''' That's right.

'''MATT:''' —when me and Jamie's... hip hop band, Two Copies Sealed, was s'posed to play at the battle of the bands. It would've been the only video evidence that that band ever existed.

'''MIKE:''' Hey, I was in that band.

'''MATT:''' I know. You were on stage playing bass.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' As a sophomore in college I was playing a high school battle of the bands.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' You were pretty cool.

'''MIKE:''' I was very cool. We were playing— We played a nice Jackson 5 cover, though.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, and A Tribe Called Quest cover.

'''MIKE:''' Did we? What'd we do?

'''MATT:''' We did, um, Check the Rhyme.

'''MIKE:''' Really? I don't even remember that.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. You and Gabe— Gabe got up and—

'''MIKE:''' Ah, nice.

'''MATT:''' He did the—

'''MIKE:''' I wish— I would remember that—

'''MATT:''' If ''Justin'' had remembered—

'''MIKE:''' —if ''Justin'' hadn't done the old—

'''MATT:''' It was— Seriously, it was, like, it was, like, you saw, like, a couple of his friends' faces that he was standing next to, and then, like, his feet, like, as you can hear us, like, walking off stage.

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

'''MATT:''' Were the two cuts. It was the most generic thing ever. ''{pause}'' Homestar's wearin' the— Nigel Tufnel's—

'''MIKE:''' ''{impersonating Nigel Tufnel}'' This is my exact bone structure.

'''MATT:''' ''{impersonating Nigel Tufnel}'' His exact inner structure.

'''MIKE:''' ''{continuing to impersonate Nigel Tufnel}'' Done in a T-shirt.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' So, really... Mike had a baby.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' It wasn't that Homestar went to sleep for a long time.

'''MIKE:''' ''{partially over Matt's previous comment}'' No, that was the, uh... the baby break number one.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' ''{singing}'' Oh, oh, oh! Tallahassee fade, Tallahassee fade, Tallahassee fade, Tallahassee fade!

''{Mike begins making percussion noises as Matt sings}''

=== Marzipan's Greeting ===
'''MARZIPAN:''' Hi, this is Marzipan. ''{singing}'' Leave me a message, and I'll get right back to you. Hey! Leave me a message, and I'll get right back to you. Hey! Leave me a messa— ''{beep}''

=== Message 6 ===
'''COACH Z:''' ''{sounding like he's drunk}'' Hey there Marzipan, it's Coach Z... Wheeeee!

'''BUBS:''' ''{also sounding drunk; in the background while Coach Z continues talking}'' Hey, Coach! Tell her I said, "Hey!" No, no, just—Tell her I said, "Bananas!" Tell her I said, "A bluh-buncha bananas." ''{continues making an unintelligible statement as Coach Z continues talking}''

'''COACH Z:''' Look at me, I'm Coach Z! Oh, I'm now, I'm a poet, though. I apologize. I-I-I'm over at Bubs's place. Uh, we're just hanging out here having a good time, you know.

'''BUBS:''' ''{in the background; singing}'' Good time plus twooooo!

'''COACH Z:''' ''{singing}'' Good times times 3... makes 1, 2, Coach Z! ''{stops singing}'' See I told you I was a poet, now. Uh, so anyways, like I say, we're just hanging out over here, having a great time, and I started thinking about you, ''{sniffs, starts to cry}'', 'cause I always have such a great time with you, 'cause you're such... you're such a beautiful person, and you're just... ''{sobs}'' You're so perfect, and, you know, I couldn't ask for more in a lady. ''{sniffs}'' Oh, geez. I'm sorry. I... ''{sniffs}'' I gotta go.

=== Message 5 ===
'''HOMSAR:''' DaAAahhh, hello, Marzypa-yun. It's Homsar! Dahhh, I was just calling to thank you for the ''flo''wers you sent me while I was in the hospital. Daahh, I'm feeling much better now, but I still can't feel my leeegs. Okay, bye-dee-bye.

=== Message 4 ===
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{clears throat, talks in an extremely faint British accent}'' Cheerio, there, Mrs. Pan. This is Constable Anybody over here at the Royal Society for Total Dorks. We would like to welcome you to our pres-tee-gee-us society. In fact, we would make you freakin' president! ''{snickers, clears throat again}'' Yes, so, all you have to do is, uh, go to your window and stick a couple of pencils up your nose, and ''{snickers}'' then you'll be the president! ''{more snickering}'' Okay... cheers, 'cause I'm so British!

=== Message 3 ===
'''COACH Z:''' ''{now apparently sober and a bit embarrassed}'' Hey, there, Marzipan, it's Coach Z, uh... ''{pause}'' So Bubs tells me I gave you a call last night, uh, in the wee hours, there. Um, I'm not too sure what I may have said, but I'd like to apologize... make kind of a blanket apology, cover the whole thing there, like one of them blankets you put on a fire, you know, when a, when you're burnin' leaves in the backyard and it gets out of hand and, you know, you gotta throw that blanket over there. That's what this apology is, here. So, uh... hope I didn't offend you or say anything out of turn, there. Though I suppose you can't really say nothing out of turn on a machine, right? 'Cause, you know, when's your turn on the answering machine, no-not till you call back. Okay, so now I'm just ramblin', but, uh... I ''am'' still a poet, and, uh... and don't I know it!

=== Message 2 ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{clearly reading off text}'' Good evening Sir or Madam. My name is Homestar Runner. I represent Distinguished Businessman. Are you getting the lowest rates from your long distance provider? I can give you rates as low as anybody. Seriously. I don't know what they ''are''... ''{pause}'' but I probably could give them to you. Um, here's one: BEEP. Haha, no, that was just me pressing the phone. Okay, it wasn't even me pressing the phone, it was just me saying "BEEP." Uhh, I can provide you with other stuff, too, like this pen on my desk ''{whacks pen on desk}'', or, like, these post-its. This is great! Am I getting paid for this, really? Um... ''{singing}'' doodly dee deeby deedly dee...

=== Message 1 ===
'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, hey Marzipan, guess-who-this-is-it's Strong Sad. I was just calling 'cause I figured you wouldn't be home, and I'd never done that thing, you know, where you call somebody and you're leaving a message on their machine, and then, while you're leaving the message, they pick up the phone and it's like: "Oh, hey! Hi! I was just leaving you a message, and, how're you doing?" and so... see, I never had that happen to me, so I thought I'd just call you and talk... talk to your machine 'til you got home... so that's what I'm gonna do. ''{repeats continually:}'' Hello? Hellooooo? Marzipan? Hello?

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the first answering machine in which most (if not all) of the characters start to sound like they do today. This is especially evident with Bubs, Strong Bad and Homestar. Homsar's dialogue is in the old style and Strong Sad's voice is a cross between the old, fatigued style and the newer, more delicate style.
*This is the first answering machine to have the beep at the end of the message. Versions 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 had the beep at the beginning, and Versions 2.0 and 3.0 also beeped after the end of message 1.

===Remarks===
*Homsar's message might be an explanation for why he returned after the [[Heavy Lourde]] crushed him in the email [[homsar]].
*Cheerio is actually an informal British word for 'goodbye', rather than a greeting as Strong Bad seems to think.
*In message 3, Coach Z claims not to remember his escapade the night before, yet still recalls that he was a "poet".
*Unlike his tendencies in later toons, Homsar does not [[Analysis of Homsar's Speech Patterns|speak nonsense]] here.
*While Coach Z has no visible nose, he still manages to sniff and cry.

===Inside References===
*This is another mention of [[Post-Its]].

===Fast Forward===
*Homestar's line "I represent Distinguished Businessman" is later used in [[An Open Forum]].

== Transcript ==
''{We open to a shot of Strong Sad and Coach Z standing in the Athletic Field, which has been painted to resemble a soccer field. A knotted rope is dangling from above.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Come on, Strong Sad, I knows you can do it! Just cram a little oom-pah down your pants, and you'll be up that rope in no times!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Look, I'm willing to ignore that ''{winces}'' "oom-pah down my pants" comment, ''{looks back at Coach Z}'' but I'm more concerned ''{looks up at the rope}'' with what that rope is attached to.

'''COACH Z:''' Never you mind! Just get to climbin'!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z, ropes are for dopes!

'''COACH Z:''' What's that jargle? Scripture? You quotin' Scripture?

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, it's a quote from Saddy Dumpington, the legendary folk hero I made up.

'''COACH Z:''' Sounds kinda like a terlet if ya ask me.

''{Cut to the cover of a book entitled "The Folky Tale of Saddy Dumpington", with a picture of Saddy on it.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Hark to the Folky Tale of Saddy Dumpington...

''{The picture of Saddy on the cover turns around, and then turns back to his normal position. The cover slides off the screen, revealing a field with a young girl standing in it. Saddy Dumpington is walking over to her.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ...who traveled the lands, spreading good cheer and smiles to all who would listen.

'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' I just saw a baby chick choke on a worm. They both died! Isn't that great?

''{The girl starts crying. Cut to another area of the field, with a tree stump and squirrel in it.}''

'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Oh, I eat squirrels all the time. I made some soup out of the rest of your family just last night! Isn't that great?

''{The squirrel starts crying. Cut to the field at sunset. Saddy is walking along.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But he wasn't very good at spreading cheer or smiles, just sadness and misery.

''{Cut to a town.}''

'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' ''{playing his washboard}'' Fear not, townsfolk! Famine is no doubt right 'round the corner. And gross bugs and rats sleep in our beds! Isn't that great?!

''{Cut to a shot of Saddy and the Mayor standing in the town square.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So one day, the Mayor ordered—

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover; interrupting}'' Oh, I know this part!

''{The Mayor and Saddy look around in confusion}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Then the mayor ordered the very talented Dancing Brothers—

''{A paper falls from the top of the frame, reading "THE DANCING BROTHERS". Saddy and the Mayor each walk off either side of the screen as the three Dancing Brothers slide to the center.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' —to perform at the annual "Rocks and Brown Grass" Festival!

''{Motown-style music starts playing, and the brothers start dancing}''

'''SINGERS:''' Gonna have a good time tonight, gonna have a good time tonight!

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Look at 'em go!

'''COACH Z AND SINGERS:''' Gonna have a good time tonight, gonna have a real ''{Coach Z doesn't say "real"}'' good time toni—

''{The music stops abruptly with a record scratch}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Dancing Brothers' shoes broke and they stopped dancing immediately!

''{The shoes break, and a cane drags the brothers off-screen. Saddy and the Mayor fly back onto the screen from the left.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Mayor then ordered Saddy Dumpington to leave town and never speak to its citizens again.

'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' But, Mr. Mayor, sometimes, dogs get so hungry, they eat their own tails! Isn't that—

''{The mayor, now very angry, kicks Saddy. Cut to a hill far outside of the town.}''

'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' —greeeeeeaaaaattt!

''{Saddy flies out of the town and falls tenderly on the hill. Fade to a forest. Saddy is walking through it.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So Saddy Dumpington walked through the forest, befriending all manner of critters 'long the way.

''{Saddy picks up a cricket.}''

'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Cheer up, Mr. Cricket. You have no central nervous system, so it won't hurt when I yank your legs off! Isn't that great?

''{Cut to another area of the woods, where Saddy is talking to a fox.}''

'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Hello, Fox Joe!

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover; interrupting}'' Have you met my good friends, The Dancing Brothers?

''{Saddy looks around. The piece of paper falls from the top of the screen again, and The Dancing Brothers fall into the frame, dancing.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' "Glenn", "Martbell", and the "Killer Dynamo"! ''{music begins playing.}''

'''SINGERS:''' Gonna have a good time tonight! Gonna have a good time toni—

''{Again, the music scratches to a halt. The Dancing Brothers look dejected}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' No! The Dancing Brothers are allergic to foxes, and they sneeze themselves into comas!

''{The Brothers start sneezing}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, jeez, that's harsh!

''{We cut to a pond. Saddy is nearby.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Then one day, ol' Dumps here got a message from town!

''{An arrow with a message attached flies into a tree. Cut to a close-up of the letter. As the message is spoken, the words appear on the page.}''

<blockquote style="width:300px">Saddy, 
We haven't stopped laughing 
since you left. No one can get any 
work done. We need you to come 
say something miserable and 
depressing so we can have our 
lives back. 

<div align="right">Talk atcha later, The Townsfolk</div></blockquote>

'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Something miserable and depressing? I've never thought of such a thing.

''{An odd-looking purple snake with a tuft of hair on its head slithers toward Saddy.}''

'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' Um... would weird snakes be considered depressing?

''{cut to an evening shot of the field. Saddy is silhouetted against the background and appears to be wearing an odd tail.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So he strolled into town, dressed as a weird snake.

''{Cut to the town. A frowning Saddy Dumpington is wearing a costume reminiscent of the weird snake he found by the pond. All the townsfolk are laughing.}''

'''SADDY DUMPINGTON:''' I'm a weird, weird snake, everyone. My name is Weird Snake Joe! Isn't that miserable and depressing?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But instead of getting depressed, everyone laughed even harder until they passed out for the rest of their lives.

''{The townsfolk all collapse, and one person falls from above the frame. Cut back to the Athletic Field, the rope and Coach Z still present.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And that brings me to this rope. I'm gonna pass out if I have to climb this rope!

'''COACH Z:''' Man, Strong Sad, that's a real load right there. A ''real load!'' That kind of thing might work on Coach X, or Coach Y, ''{loudly}'' '''but you're dealing with Coach dang Z!!''' Now get up that rope!!!

''{Strong Sad moans and passes out}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, jeez! I killed the Elephant Man!! Oh, this is bad! This is rrrl bad, man! What would the Dancin' Brothers do in a sitch'ation like this?

''{Coach Z thinks for a moment and then starts dancing and singing}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, gonna have a good time tonight! Gonna have a good time tonight! ''{dances off the screen.}'' Gonna have a good time...

''{Strong Sad opens his eyes and turns his head toward the camera}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{grinning slightly}'' Works every time!

'''SINGERS:''' ''{along with the music that starts playing}'' Gonna have a real good, good, good, good, good time tonight!

''{Strong Sad pretends to go back into unconsciousness. The screen darkens, and "end." appears, accompanied by Saddy Dumpington's head.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
* Click on the rope at the end to see what is really holding it up.
:''{Homsar is upside down at the top of the screen. He has the rope in his mouth.}''
:'''HOMSAR:'''  ''{tries to talk with his mouth full, but his words are unintelligible; meanwhile, his hat floats in a rectangular path off his head and comes back}''

* Click on Strong Sad's head at the end to see a scene with Bubs at his Concession Stand.
:''{Cut to Bubs at his concession stand.}''
:'''BUBS:''' ''{on the phone}'' What? No! Of course you can't come here! You need to get out of town, man! Lay low for a while! Yeah, all right, all right, you is my dog, too. Now get movin'!
:'''COACH Z:''' ''{popping in from the top of the stand}'' Who was that?
:'''BUBS:''' Ah, that was just Homestar. Now keep outta sight!
:'''COACH Z:''' ''{makes a panicked noise and hides again}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Vertebrates|Vertebrates]] possess a [[Wikipedia:central nervous system|central nervous system]] consisting of the brain and spinal cord. [[Wikipedia:Invertebrate|Invertebrates]] (including [[Wikipedia:insects|insects]] like [[Wikipedia:Cricket (insect)|crickets]]) possess a nervous system, but do not have a spinal cord.

===Trivia===
*This is the first toon that features members of the main cast but in which neither [[Homestar Runner]] nor [[Strong Bad]] make an appearance, though Bubs was talking to Homestar on the phone.
*The paper texture is made using a low-opacity bitmap overlay that covers the entire window. The drawings themselves are not bitmaps.

===Remarks===
*Strong Sad says that "Ropes are for dopes" is a quote from the legendary folk hero he made up, but neither ropes nor dopes are mentioned in the story itself, or the blog entry where Saddy Dumpington first appeared.
*In the scene where the townsfolk laugh until they pass out, the man in the front left looks identical to the man in the back right, only mirrored. Once everyone passes out, a man falls from above who looks identical to the person in the back left.
*While the Dancing Brothers' shoes broke completely off, the shoes were still pulled away along with the Brothers.

===Goofs===
[[Image:folky tale goof.PNG|thumb|Look closely...|120px]]
*When Strong Sad falls down at the end of the toon, the shape created and overlaid on the background to show his indention in the grass does not quite match the background. The green and the white are both slightly brighter, and the seam in the white circle doesn't line up.
*As was corrected in the DVD commentary, crickets do indeed have a central nervous system. [http://jp.physoc.org/cgi/content/abstract/352/1/601]

===Inside References===
*Saddy Dumpington was introduced in [[Strong Sad's Lament]].
*Coach Z thinks he [[Death#Strong Sad|killed Strong Sad]] and calls him [[elephant]] man in the process.
*Homestar apparently calls Bubs [[my dog|his dog]] during their phone conversation.

===Real-World References===
*The "Rocks and Brown Grass" Festival is probably a pun on the musical genres "[[Wikipedia:Rock (music)|rock]]" and "[[Wikipedia:Bluegrass music|bluegrass]]," though it may also be a reference to the [http://www.grassrootsfest.org/ GrassRoots Festival of Music and Dance].
*Coach Z calling Strong Sad the Elephant Man is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Joseph Merrick|Joseph Merrick]] (1862–1890), a person from the late 19th century known for being deformed as a result of either [[Wikipedia:Proteus syndrome|Proteus syndrome]] or [[Wikipedia:Neurofibromatosis|Neurofibromatosis]].

== DVD Version ==
*At toon's end, the "end" phrase with Saddy's head next to it is missing.
*The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

===Commentary Transcript===
'''MATT:''' Did you ever have to climb up the rope in gym class, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' I never did.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I feel like I missed out.

'''MIKE:''' I feel like that was invented for, uh, TV shows about high school.

'''MATT:''' ''{Laughs}'' Never, never actually occurred in any...

'''MIKE:''' Just the Wonder Years, and Saved by the Bell.

'''MATT:''' I think you're right.

'''MIKE:''' Um, I always thought it would be cool if there was a— a rope tied to the moon, that was just hanging down, floating, you know, ten feet or so above the Earth. I think it'd be a good— You could climb it up... Climb it up? Climb it up!

'''MATT:''' ''{Almost simultaneously}'' You could climb it up!

'''MIKE:''' You know, it'd just be sort of a, you know like that four states place where you can go and put your hands in one of each of, or, you know. Four states at one time.

'''MATT:''' Right.

'''MIKE:''' It'd be sort of like that, sort of. Uh—

'''MATT:''' Just a novelty, you're tugging on this rope that's tied to the moon.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it's like "Yay, I'm... pulling the moon!"

'''MATT:''' I got the moon by a string!"

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. So let's talk about this, uh, cartoon now.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, you kinda wasted a lot of time there, telling us about your moon job.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, let's, let's keep going.

'''MIKE:''' Uh... I like the watercolor style of this cartoon. That was sort of what made it fun to do.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it turned out good, I, I thought.

'''MIKE:''' It was all done in Flash, and uh, we just— we sort of came up with some little technique to make it look watercolor-y and washy.

'''MATT:''' Right. It's, uh— it's based on an obscure entry in the obscure Strong Sad Journal that is, uh, an Easter Egg on the site that seems to still get pretty frequent traffic despite the fact that we rarely update it.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, every two years we go through, like a month where we update it every week, and then we forget about it for two years.

'''MATT:''' So one day he, uh— he was comparing himself to Johnny Appleseed, or something, I can't remember exactly what the post is. But there was a picture of, uh... of Saddy Dumpington.

''{long pause until Saddy is kicked over the horizon by the Mayor}''

'''MATT:''' Ohhh, it's just like Brainy Smurf. ''{imitating Brainy Smurf}'' "Papa Smurf always says ... Ooohhhhhhh!"

'''MIKE:''' That's a very nice-lookin' forest. I'd like to walk through that sun-dabbled forest passage.

'''MATT:''' That's true. This is untrue too, the— the— crickets do have a central nervous system, Mike, and he's ''going'' to feel it when he tears his legs off.

'''MATT:''' We recently, uh, made another song by whatever band it is that ma— sings "Gonna Have A Good Time Tonight" called "Jammin' Tunes".

'''MIKE:''' I don't think it's the Dancing Brothers, though.

'''MATT:''' No, I don't think—

'''MIKE:''' They're just— Yeah.

'''MATT:''' They just perform ''to'' the music of... whatever.

'''MIKE:''' That, yeah. What do you think they're called?

'''MATT:''' Umm...

'''MIKE:''' "The" ... something.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' "The System".

'''MATT:''' Ooh, that's a good one. "The Singular Something"?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I, uh...

''{long pause}''

'''MATT:''' I like the kind of Southern twang that Saddy Dumpington has, it's just Strong Sad, but a little more up-beat, less drawl, but then he has a little bit of a... a twangy-twang.

'''MATT:''' That is a weird snake, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Weird s— Snakes usually don't have buck teeth, and are usually a little more pointy than that. He probably couldn't pierce much flesh with his...

'''MATT:''' What do you think of that guy with the block-head in the background that was slapping his knee? He's got a weird— it's like his head just looks like a little Lego... one of the little Lego snaps.

'''MATT:''' Why did we book-end it with the, uh... I mean, we easily could've just made it be...

'''MIKE:''' "The Saddy Dumpington Tale"?

'''MATT:''' Right. With no.. cuz it's pretty arbitrary with Strong Sad, it's all just so he can get out of climbing the rope ... is really why he did it.

'''MIKE:''' It also makes it— allow us to make Coach Z sing the Dancing Brothers song.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, and do that little hoppy dance.

'''MIKE:''' I think that was one of the Mike Animation Specials right there.

'''MATT:''' That was a good one. It was way better than the usual specials. ''{pause}'' He's dead.

=== Fun Facts ===
*[[Wikipedia:The Wonder Years|The Wonder Years]] and [[Wikipedia:Saved by the Bell|Saved by the Bell]] are two shows featuring the everyday experiences of high school students.
*The "four states place" Mike refers to is [[Wikipedia:Four Corners|Four Corners]], the only point in the United States where four states touch.
*[[Wikipedia:Brainy Smurf|Brainy Smurf]] is a character from the [[Wikipedia:The Smurfs|The Smurfs]] who often annoyed the other characters with his know-it-all ways, which frequently lead to him being thrown or kicked over the horizon in a similar fashion to Saddy in this toon.
*"Lego snaps" is a reference to the distinctive [[Wikipedia:Minifigure|Minifigure]]s included with [[Wikipedia:LEGO|LEGO]] sets.

==Transcript==
''{The words "More Halloween Costumes" are displayed at the top of the screen against a blue background. Dominating the screen is a picture of a man dressed as Strong Bad (whose head is somewhat distended), standing in front of an office building.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dear Strong Bad, how's your miserable job at the depressing faceless office park? Oh, pretty good, Geraldine. Today they let me stand out in the parking lot and stretch my head during my seven-minute lunch break. If I'm lucky, I'll get to work here for ten years with no promotion and then get laid off.

''{The picture changes to a man dressed in peasant robes. His head is made to look like it's on fire, and in his hands he holds a drink and a medium-size Trogdor plushie. The datestamp in the corner reads "10/22/2005".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, a burning peasant and Trogdor partying together in perfect harmony! And a full nine days before Halloween even.

''{The picture changes to three gourds in front of a pumpkin. The gourds are painted with the likenesses of Coach Z, The King of Town, and Marzipan. In front of each gourd is the corresponding official figurine.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in "public radio" voice}'' Oh, and next on the worthless arts and crafts shopping channel, the least popular Homestar Runner characters gourd collection. Nothing completes an old lady vestibule quite like them.

''{The picture changes to a child wearing a The Cheat costume. The child's feet are visible below the costume, and The Cheat's head is formed from a hat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aah! The Cheat! Some kind of adorable baby is bursting out of you!

''{The picture changes to a person in a Bubs costume standing in an office space, with cubicles and decorated tables visible in the background. Bubs's head is quite round, and his arms are somewhat deformed, as Strong Bad notes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, man, Bubs has flipper arms, not tentacle arms. Those things look deadly, like they could pry the shell off a... mollusk... in no time flat. Now, go enjoy the crappy Halloween decorations we put up in the cafeteria. Amanda from sales worked all morning on those.

''{The picture changes to show a daytime shot of two young women holding a large Strong Bad head between them. They seem quite happy with whatever they're about to do.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yeah. That's the way to get decapitated, man. Couple of young ladies to cuddle up with my giant severed head...

''{The picture changes to a nighttime shot of the same Strong Bad head, only now it's suspended in midair and a young blindfolded woman is swinging at it with a stick.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh—oh, wait a minute, now, girls, what's going on here?!

''{The picture changes again, and the Strong Bad head, now clearly revealed to be a piñata, has been destroyed and its contents spilled. A young blindfolded person stands nearby, still holding the stick.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aaah! My poor husky head! Were there at least any Twixes in there?!

''{The picture changes to a Mr. Shmallow amidst a decorated table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A ''Mr. Shmallow'' costume?! Are you kidding me? Were you trying to ''lose'' friends this Halloween?

''{The picture changes to show a person dressed as Trogdor, complete with arm, wingalings, and fire, although Strong Bad remarks that the quality of the body is not quite up to par.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I said "S and more different S"! Not 7 or... more different... crescent wrench. And is that limp pantyhose worm supposed to be a beefy arm? Why don't you walk back there to the China Express and get them to fill that thing with teriyaki chicken. And then we'll go to Spencer's Gifts.

''{The picture changes to a split shot of a pumpkin in a kitchen and the same pumpkin with the lights out and lit from inside by a candle. The creature from the Horrible Painting has been carved into the pumpkin.}''

'''HORRIBLE PAINTING:''' ''{menacing whisper}'' Come on in heeere.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-oh, that thing is ''way'' more evil in pumpkin form. ''{straining}'' Must... fight... jibblies! Can't... hold... on... much... longer! A-jibblie-jibblie!

''{The picture changes to show three kids sitting on some steps and holding their candy baskets. They are dressed as Strong Bad, Homestar, and The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, Homestar babies! Check 'em out, they're just like real life! The Strong Bad kid is like, "Ooh! Feel my wrath!" And the Homestar kid is just totally clueless, like, "I wike candies." And then The Cheat is like, "Whoa, I bet I could swipe that plasma screen over there."

''{The picture changes to a close-up of a chocolate labrador wearing a Homestar Runner red star shirt and a blue beanie.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohh. That is animal cruelty. Could that dog possibly be more miserable? I bet if old Rover left some sweet spots on that carpet they'd take him out of that ridiculous geddup. Come on, boy. Leave a sweet spot! Just a little sweet spot!

''{The picture changes to show two young women. The one on the right is dressed in a black girdle and hose, and the one on the left is wearing a tight Homestar red star shirt, a blue beanie, tight red short shorts, white thigh-high hose, and platform heels with blue on the bottom.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ha-a, dar dar dar dar DA-A!! So confused... what to think?? Hot Homestar?!? My brain is splitting in half!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hey Strong Bad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Daa! You get outta here!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa, you sound tense. Do you want me to give you, like, a back rub or anything?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh... yes! No! I... don't know! Next picture, next picture!!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think this is the last one, sweetie.

'''STRONG BAD:''' WAAAAA!! ''{trails off as though he's running away}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I should probably stop calling everybody "sweetie".

==Fun Facts==
=== Explanations ===
*The name "More Fan Costumes" refers to a similar feature for Halloween 2003: [[Fan Costume Commentary]].
*A [[Wikipedia:Mollusk|mollusk]] is any of a variety of chiefly marine invertebrates, typically characterized by a soft, unsegmented body encased in a protective shell. The octopus, a mollusk which lacks the characteristic shell, has tentacles which it occasionally uses to pry open shelled mollusks to feed on them.

=== Trivia ===
*The same homemade The Cheat costume was also seen a few days earlier in the [[Weekly Fanstuff 2005#WF-2005-11-03|Weekly Fanstuff]].
*The [http://www.flickr.com/photos/thepr0fess0r/tags/strongbad/ first costume] was submitted by a friend of the author of [[space program]] who is named [[Dan]].

=== Remarks ===
* Though Strong Bad is very freaked out by a hot Homestar, he was only mildly disappointed with himself when he invented a [[Modestly Hot Homsar]] in [[different town]].

===Inside References===
[[Image:Morefancostumes9.PNG|thumb|WAY more evil.]]
*In the third picture of the [[Wikipedia:Piñata|piñata]], Strong Bad refers to his head as "husky", just as it was described in [[modeling]].
*The monster on the pumpkin is the [[horrible painting]] from [[bottom 10]] (which gave Strong Bad the [[Jibblies]] then, too).
*Strong Bad's quote "S and more different S" is from [[dragon]].
*[[Fan Costume Commentary]] also features something which Strong Bad calls a "[[Strong Sad's Severed Head|severed head]]," which is in reality a Strong Sad pumpkin.
*Fan Costume Commentary also had Strong Bad's first costume comment in the form of an e-mail.
*Homestar offers to give Strong Bad a back rub, despite his [[Lack of Visible Arms]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Spencer Gifts|Spencer Gifts]] is a novelty store commonly found in many North American shopping malls.
*China Express is implied to be a restaurant. Malls in North America frequently feature restaurants which serve American Chinese food, such as the similarly-named [[Wikipedia:Panda_Express|Panda Express]].
*[[Wikipedia:Twix|Twix]] is a chocolate snack or candy bar made by [[Wikipedia:Mars, Incorporated|Mars, Inc.]] consisting of a cookie center topped with caramel or peanut butter and coated in milk chocolate. Its most familiar selling point is that there are two Twix bars per package, supposedly doubling your enjoyment.

===Fast Forward===
*The second fan costume is used again in the montage in [[Happy Trogday]].
*Strong Bad would later do an entire email about his own [[Head Bad and Strong Body|severed head]] in [[disconnected]].
*Strong Bad would again mention animal cruelty in [[Fan Costumes '06]], and similarly, infant abuse in [[Fan Costumes '07]].

After several weeks, I feel that anyone who was going to comment in this discussion would already have done so, so I finally took action.

:Why I missed this entire discussion is beyond me, but I hope it's not too late for my $0.02 (or rather $2.00). I see that there is one picture on each page. I think the page would look nicer if there's at least 2 or 3 per page, giving a better idea of what the thing looks like. It just looks... lacking without the pics. Actually I *loved* the table format it had... why can't it stay that way? I know, I know, the right format now is the transcript. I was also thinking, we could potentially just provide poor facimiles of the images (say 50x50 thumbnails) and it would still constitute as fair use following the rules above I believe.

The one in Fanstuff appears rosier, but the whole photo has more red tone than the Fan Costume one (maybe doctored).

Or am I the only one who thinks that this might be a reference? - [[User:Point7Q|Point7Q]] 00:34, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

== 2nd referance? ==

In the last costume w/the hot girls, do you think how Homestar treated SB is another referance to gayness? Either way, its feeding the fangirls.

-Alex H.

== Exploding head? ==

It used to be that SB said "my brain is about to explode!" and not "my brain is splitting in half!"
Maybe this should be added under Fun Facts?

== Beanie cap! ==

I noticed an old edit which was removed as speculation that said that the dog may belong to the girls in the last picture. It cited the star shirt, and more importantly, the propeller cap. Upon inspection, I noticed--and I think it's pretty clear--that the hat which the dog is wearing is the very same hat that the girl is wearing. Obviously, it was mass-produced ''somewhere'', and so there must be more than one hat of that kind, but I think it's more than a coincidence. I didn't do any research on chocolate lab size so I could figure out the measurements of his t-shirt and compare it to the girl's star shirt, but I imagine doing so would lend this argument more credence. Could we perhaps re-add that remark with a "possibly" in it, or just vagueness? Mayhaps could read,
*The dog may belong to the girl in the last photo, as its beanie cap (and star shirt) is(are) identical to the one(s) she is wearing.
I feel like this could use some discussion before an add, though, so I won't be '''bold''' right now. --{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 15:05, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

== Crazy Gnome Strike! HUGE stuff to follow, please weads it all? ==

Crazy ol' Onamuji somethetimes decides to gnome ''so'' thoroughly that he'll actually go through '''A PAGE'S ENTIRE HISTORY''' looking at edits. You might think this silly, but here's my reasonin'. Due to the nature of a wiki, and also humans, sometimes edits will go missed. Let's say, for example, that someone makes an edit which is just plain silly, and has actually been removed before. If this edit is lost in the Recent changes page, it may remain for a long, long time. This was majorly noticable to me in my browsing; a quick glance at the history page, when expanded to show 500, shows that ''more than half'' of this page's edit history took place within one month of the page's creation, even though nearly four years have passed. 
Another human problem is when our concepts of respect for hierarchy are stretched to the point of being illogical. Now, I mean no offense to the sysops here, but occasionally, all of us get tired from staying up too late and we make bad edits. Honestly, I've seen some terribly poor edits by sysops from time to time, and sometimes, they simply get left the way they are because of the false logic, "oh, s/he's a sysop, can't fiddle with that." I really want to underline that I'm not trying to under''mine'' the sysop system here. Very nearly every edit I've ever seen made by youse guys has been in the best interest of the Wiki. There are just the occasional...let's call 'em stnanks. 

So, I've compiled my various edit explanations together and will be submitting them basically all at once here, to save the edit review box from overload torture. Here go Pom-Pom! I mean, Onamuji.
*This addition to the mollusk explanation once existed:

:*It is worth noting that one type of mollusk, the octopus (which lacks such a shell), has flexible arms which are often erroneously referred to as tentacles that it occasionally uses to pry open shelled mollusks to feed on them.

:It was removed without any reason given. Now, I think it's worded <s>a bit sillily</s> in a silly manner—who the crap calls octopus arms something ''besides'' tentacles?—but otherwise, it's a valid point. I'm re-adding it here.
*The "Aught Five" reference was added and removed twice in the first month following the toon's release, and was then re-added about six months later. I would have to say that most everyone here would agree that it's ''not'' a reference; using "Aught X" is not referring to a specific thing which was pweviously said on the site, it's just using the "Aught X" format. Thusly, I'm removing it again. Now, if someone were to make an Aught X page, and compile all instances, it would necessitate a link here. I'm not ''suggesting'' someone do so, and in fact, I think it'd be pretty silly unless there are at least five uses of the phrasing. I can only think of maybe three, should we count DVD commentary. (Is it ever in DVD commentary? Maybe not. I dunno.)
*Simple gnoming/rewording on the severed head inside ref.
*The RWR section once referred to China Express, alongside Spencer Gifts; it was removed for being "obvious." I am re-adding it here, with modifications, for a few reasons: firstly, the major mall chain is ''Panda'' Express, not China Express. China Express, in fact, is ''not'' a chain, and is a name which can be found on innumerable independent Chinese restaurants across the U.S. It is therefore possible that SB is referring to a specific mall restaurant named China Express which TBC know of or frequent, just as Homsar's sign mentioned the Georgia restaurant Merch Masala in [[Weclome Back]]. It's also possible that TBC just misremembered the name; I personally have had conversations which went something like, "What's that place called? China Express? Panda Express?" Secondly, and much more importantly, I think it is '''never''' safe to assume that anything RWR-related in the Homestar universe is "obvious." Homestar and crew have a very strong fanbase in Europe and worldwide, and to my knowledge, most of the world doesn't have mall food courts or American Chinese food as we do in the U.S. Certainly, these things are at least not as widespread or common around the world. For the few actual Chinese viewers of Homestar, it probably wouldn't make any sense at all. I think it safe to assume that a sizable portion of Wiki viewers might be curious as to what China Express is, having perhaps thought of the airline, and they deserve the explanation. (I don't think this is really explaining any joke, is it? It's just explaining a thing.)
:::'''''If anyone can think of a clearer wording of the RWR than the one I placed in the page, please do so. I couldn't get it quite right.'''''
*Lastly, simple Fast Forward add of my own.

Now, since I know all of you skimmed that, shame on you! Go back and read it! My apologies for wasting five to ten minutes of your life, though. —{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 16:14, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

After several weeks, I feel that anyone who was going to comment in this discussion would already have done so, so I finally took action.

Actually I *loved* the table format it had... why can't it stay that way? I know, I know, the right format now is the transcript. I was also thinking, we could potentially just provide poor facimiles of the images (say 50x50 thumbnails) and it would still constitute as fair use following the rules above I believe.

And since these things are one-of-a-kind homemade originals, I'd think it's the same kid.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 03:44, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
::::::::I think we ''can'' be certain it's the same costume. If not, there are two identical ones. See the chin tuft and everything else mentioned above. If anything, it's not the same baby, but there's no reason to think that. And looking closely, it certainly could be the same baby. The one in Fanstuff appears rosier, but the whole photo has more red tone than the Fan Costume one (maybe doctored). If it's not the same kid, we're forced into the ''extreme'' speculations that someone photographed two babies in the same costume, or that identical costumes were created. Occam's razor. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 03:52, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
: Hmm... perhaps, but I'm still skeptical. Maybe due to the poor picture quality of this page's baby, but it just looks like there's some difference in the material or a few spots (the few we can confirm between the two.) If we're going to keep it, can we at least change the wording? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:58, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
: Well, comparing the better version on the website instead of this site, the costume does look a lot closer (though the Fanstuff one is still darker and redder as previously mentioned.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:00, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
::Weird. The costume looks very similar, but the kid looks very different. Great, now I'm confused... - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 04:05, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
:::I think it's the same kid. The costume is identical; the spots look the same... the folds of the hat look the same. And when you [[:Image:kid cheats.jpg|color correct]] one of the photos to match the other one, even the color of the face looks the same. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:21, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
:::: Did you have to use the version on this site to confirm that, on the More Fan Costumes side? The fuzziness of it makes it look like there are more dots than there really are. Anyway, okay, I'll grant that they're nearly identical if not identical. I think we should still word it to make sure we're not implying that it's the same picture. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:24, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::Take into account also the difference in expression. When the baby grins, all that baby fat makes for chubbier cheeks. Find a holy-crap-adorable baby and try it at home! (And again, I think the Fanstuff shot has been color-enhanced, possibly just to "normalize" the color balance of the three shots. And personally, I don't think the fact ever implied that it was the same photograph; I suppose we could say something like "a different picture of the baby in the The Cheat costume appeared...". (Whoa—ellipsis ''and'' punctuation in/out issues!) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:28, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

== Huskiness ==
Personally, I think the reason Strong Bad refers to "his" head as husky is because the pinata is so large, so I don't think he's actually referring to his own physical head when he says "husky." (Similar to how, in the first picture, he says he's stretching out his head, for a picture where his head is slightly elongated.) [[User:Spell4yr|Spell4yr]] 04:17, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
: Strong Bad actually DOES refer to his own head as "husky" in [[modeling]] once he realizes that having a husky head may have associated perks. Anyway, "husky" in reference to heads isn't exactly common. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:19, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
:: That's not what the fact says, though. And I still contend that he's personifying the costumes, at most, but not referring to himself. I'm not denying that the fact is valid, I just think it needs some rewording. [[User:Spell4yr|Spell4yr]] 04:20, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
:::Boy, is it "Shoot Down Dorian's References Night"? Nah, just kidding... =3 You could be right. You probably are. I dunno. But that was the first thing that came to mind when I heard it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::: Different people making the shooting down attempt. I think this one is wholly valid. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:22, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
:::: (edit conflict'd!) Oh, sorry, didn't know it was yours. :-) Seriously, I guess it's fine, though it should be slightly reworded since he seems to be referring to his pinata head as husky, not his own. But I didn't mean any harm. THIS time. ;-) [[User:Spell4yr|Spell4yr]] 04:25, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::Reword away. I don't mind. Sometimes I have trouble wording things the way I mean them to sound. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::::: I reworded it just because I felt that this was the easier of the two to resolve. Work for everyone? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:31, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
:::::::I like it. It makes a little more sense too, I think. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::::::I like it. (Attempt 5 to post a concession sentence; been edit conflict'd every time so far.) It's better than what I had tried posting during an edit conflict, which was good as I think I ended up liking Dorian's original better than what I tried to change it to. So, assuming no more edit conflicts, I'll leave this issue be. [[User:Spell4yr|Spell4yr]] 04:34, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

:I'd imagine it's some sort of candy containing and carrying device.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 05:25, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

== Closed STUFF ==

{{stuffcloseddecline}}
=== Buffalo Teriyaki ===
{{stufffact|The mention of "teriyaki chicken" in connection with Trogdor's beefy arm is similar to another chicken-related comment in the first [[Fan Costume Commentary]], in which Strong Bad says that fans carelessly "turned it into a buffalo wing."}}
{{stuffverdict|02:28, 10 November 2005 (UTC)|16:11, 25 November 2005 (UTC)|declined|13|7|More Fan Costumes}}

== Pantyhose Worms ==

Should there be a note about Strong Bad's "pantyhose worm" comments being a reference to those cheap cop-out costumes of Twi'leks and the like, wherein they use pantyhose to simulate the lekku (brain tails)? Or am I the only one who thinks that this might be a reference? - [[User:Point7Q|Point7Q]] 00:34, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

== 2nd referance? ==

In the last costume w/the hot girls, do you think how Homestar treated SB is another referance to gayness? Either way, its feeding the fangirls.

-Alex H.

== Exploding head? ==

It used to be that SB said "my brain is about to explode!" and not "my brain is splitting in half!"
Maybe this should be added under Fun Facts?

== Beanie cap! ==

I noticed an old edit which was removed as speculation that said that the dog may belong to the girls in the last picture. It cited the star shirt, and more importantly, the propeller cap. Upon inspection, I noticed--and I think it's pretty clear--that the hat which the dog is wearing is the very same hat that the girl is wearing. Obviously, it was mass-produced ''somewhere'', and so there must be more than one hat of that kind, but I think it's more than a coincidence. I didn't do any research on chocolate lab size so I could figure out the measurements of his t-shirt and compare it to the girl's star shirt, but I imagine doing so would lend this argument more credence. Could we perhaps re-add that remark with a "possibly" in it, or just vagueness? Mayhaps could read, "The dog may belong to the girl in the last photo, as its beanie cap (and star shirt) is(are) identical to the one(s) she is wearing." I feel like this could use some discussion before an add, though, so I won't be '''bold''' right now. --{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 15:05, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

So, Neumannz, I was wondering. You've been a user since November 2005, from what I can tell, and have been quite an active user since then. Why is it that in nearly four years, you've never made a userpage? Unless...could it be...are you something non-human? Robot, alien, ghost, what have you?

'''Date:''' Monday, November 7, 2005

'''Running Time:''' 3:05

{{dvd|Everything Else, Volume 2}}

==Transcript==
''{The words "More Halloween Costumes" are displayed at the top of the screen against a blue background. Dominating the screen is a picture of a man dressed as Strong Bad (whose head is somewhat distended), standing in front of an office building.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dear Strong Bad, how's your miserable job at the depressing faceless office park? Oh, pretty good, Geraldine. Today they let me stand out in the parking lot and stretch my head during my seven-minute lunch break. If I'm lucky, I'll get to work here for ten years with no promotion and then get laid off.

''{The picture changes to a man dressed in peasant robes. His head is made to look like it's on fire, and in his hands he holds a drink and a medium-size Trogdor plushie. The datestamp in the corner reads "10/22/2005".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, a burning peasant and Trogdor partying together in perfect harmony! And a full nine days before Halloween even.

''{The picture changes to three gourds in front of a pumpkin. The gourds are painted with the likenesses of Coach Z, The King of Town, and Marzipan. In front of each gourd is the corresponding official figurine.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in "public radio" voice}'' Oh, and next on the worthless arts and crafts shopping channel, the least popular Homestar Runner characters gourd collection. Nothing completes an old lady vestibule quite like them.

''{The picture changes to a child wearing a The Cheat costume. The child's feet are visible below the costume, and The Cheat's head is formed from a hat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aah! The Cheat! Some kind of adorable baby is bursting out of you!

''{The picture changes to a person in a Bubs costume standing in an office space, with cubicles and decorated tables visible in the background. Bubs's head is quite round, and his arms are somewhat deformed, as Strong Bad notes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, man, Bubs has flipper arms, not tentacle arms. Those things look deadly, like they could pry the shell off a... mollusk... in no time flat. Now, go enjoy the crappy Halloween decorations we put up in the cafeteria. Amanda from sales worked all morning on those.

''{The picture changes to show a daytime shot of two young women holding a large Strong Bad head between them. They seem quite happy with whatever they're about to do.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yeah. That's the way to get decapitated, man. Couple of young ladies to cuddle up with my giant severed head...

''{The picture changes to a nighttime shot of the same Strong Bad head, only now it's suspended in midair and a young blindfolded woman is swinging at it with a stick.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh—oh, wait a minute, now, girls, what's going on here?!

''{The picture changes again, and the Strong Bad head, now clearly revealed to be a piñata, has been destroyed and its contents spilled. A young blindfolded person stands nearby, still holding the stick.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aaah! My poor husky head! Were there at least any Twixes in there?!

''{The picture changes to a Mr. Shmallow amidst a decorated table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A ''Mr. Shmallow'' costume?! Are you kidding me? Were you trying to ''lose'' friends this Halloween?

''{The picture changes to show a person dressed as Trogdor, complete with arm, wingalings, and fire, although Strong Bad remarks that the quality of the body is not quite up to par.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I said "S and more different S"! Not 7 or... more different... crescent wrench. And is that limp pantyhose worm supposed to be a beefy arm? Why don't you walk back there to the China Express and get them to fill that thing with teriyaki chicken. And then we'll go to Spencer's Gifts.

''{The picture changes to a split shot of a pumpkin in a kitchen and the same pumpkin with the lights out and lit from inside by a candle. The creature from the Horrible Painting has been carved into the pumpkin.}''

'''HORRIBLE PAINTING:''' ''{menacing whisper}'' Come on in heeere.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-oh, that thing is ''way'' more evil in pumpkin form. ''{straining}'' Must... fight... jibblies! Can't... hold... on... much... longer! A-jibblie-jibblie!

''{The picture changes to show three kids sitting on some steps and holding their candy baskets. They are dressed as Strong Bad, Homestar, and The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, Homestar babies! Check 'em out, they're just like real life! The Strong Bad kid is like, "Ooh! Feel my wrath!" And the Homestar kid is just totally clueless, like, "I wike candies." And then The Cheat is like, "Whoa, I bet I could swipe that plasma screen over there."

''{The picture changes to a close-up of a chocolate labrador wearing a Homestar Runner red star shirt and a blue beanie.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohh. That is animal cruelty. Could that dog possibly be more miserable? I bet if old Rover left some sweet spots on that carpet they'd take him out of that ridiculous geddup. Come on, boy. Leave a sweet spot! Just a little sweet spot!

''{The picture changes to show two young women. The one on the right is dressed in a black girdle and hose, and the one on the left is wearing a tight Homestar red star shirt, a blue beanie, tight red short shorts, white thigh-high hose, and platform heels with blue on the bottom.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ha-a, dar dar dar dar DA-A!! So confused... what to think?? Hot Homestar?!? My brain is splitting in half!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hey Strong Bad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Daa! You get outta here!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa, you sound tense. Do you want me to give you, like, a back rub or anything?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh... yes! No! I... don't know! Next picture, next picture!!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think this is the last one, sweetie.

'''STRONG BAD:''' WAAAAA!! ''{trails off as though he's running away}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I should probably stop calling everybody "sweetie".

==Fun Facts==
=== Explanations ===
*The name "More Fan Costumes" refers to a similar feature for Halloween 2003: [[Fan Costume Commentary]].
*A [[Wikipedia:Mollusk|mollusk]] is any of a variety of chiefly marine invertebrates, typically characterized by a soft, unsegmented body encased in a protective shell.

=== Trivia ===
*The same homemade The Cheat costume was also seen a few days earlier in the [[Weekly Fanstuff 2005#WF-2005-11-03|Weekly Fanstuff]].
*The [http://www.flickr.com/photos/thepr0fess0r/tags/strongbad/ first costume] was submitted by a friend of the author of [[space program]] who is named [[Dan]].

=== Remarks ===
* Though Strong Bad is very freaked out by a hot Homestar, he was only mildly disappointed with himself when he invented a [[Modestly Hot Homsar]] in [[different town]].

===Inside References===
[[Image:Morefancostumes9.PNG|thumb|WAY more evil.]]
*In the third picture of the [[Wikipedia:Piñata|piñata]], Strong Bad refers to his head as "husky", just as it was described in [[modeling]].
*The monster on the pumpkin is the [[horrible painting]] from [[bottom 10]] (which gave Strong Bad the [[Jibblies]] then, too).
*Strong Bad's quote "S and more different S" is from [[dragon]].
*[[Fan Costume Commentary]] also features what Strong Bad calls a "[[Strong Sad's Severed Head|severed head]]," in reality a Strong Sad pumpkin.
*Fan Costume Commentary also had Strong Bad's first costume comment in the form of an e-mail.
*The page title, "The Ween Aught Five" may be a reference to [[Homestar Presents: Presents]], in which Bubs is selling "Aught Four Crap" and then he says, "Gotta make room for the Aught Five Crap."
*Homestar offers to give Strong Bad a back rub, despite his [[Lack of Visible Arms]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Spencer Gifts|Spencer Gifts]] is a novelty store commonly found in many North American shopping malls.
*[[Wikipedia:Twix|Twix]] is a chocolate snack or candy bar made by [[Wikipedia:Mars, Incorporated|Mars, Inc.]] consisting of a cookie center topped with caramel or peanut butter and coated in milk chocolate. Its most familiar selling point is that there are two Twix bars per package, supposedly doubling your enjoyment.

===Fast Forward===
*The second fan costume is used again in the montage in [[Happy Trogday]].
*Strong Bad would later do an entire email about his own [[Head Bad and Strong Body|severed head]] in [[disconnected]].
*Strong Bad would again mention animal cruelty in [[Fan Costumes '06]].

'''Page Title:''' People are STILL doing it!

==Transcript==
''{The wall of Strong Bad's Basement is visible, and a [[Projections|projector screen]] snaps down from the ceiling. An offscreen slide projector turns on, filling the screen with white light. The projector displays the first slide: a man dressed as Crack Stuntman, but with his hair dyed green, in a [[Wikipedia:Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia|Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia]] fraternity house.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' BLAAH! You're Crack Stuntman! I bet you impressed a ton of ladies explaining what ''that'' costume was from. ''{imitating a fraternity brother voice}'' "No, baby, listen. It's like this cartoon man from this cartoon show. And he does the voice of this other cartoon man inside the cartoon man show. It's so awesome, h-- Oh, cool, you're gonna leave with my fraternity brother who dressed up as Dale, Jr. That's cool!"

''{The next slide appears: a picture of a boy in a cardboard box designed like Eh! Steve! around his torso. He is standing in the foyer of his house and a dog is sitting nearby.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Eh! Steve!}'' Eh! Cardboard box!

''{The next slide appears: a picture of a man wearing a papier-mâché Stinkoman mask, gloves and boots with a tan shirt, long black pants and blue crate.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nice Stinkoman costume! And you're performing the ever-controversial ''{pronounces "controversial" as "con-tro-ver-see-ull"}'' crossèd deuce. Oh, and I see you're on my favorite level,

''{The screen dims and sprite of a vase with three peacock feathers and mechanical arms slides from the right and then '[[Stinkoman 20X6]]' style explosions.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Level 12: FRONT HALLWAY. Look out, it's the end boss! Vase full of peacock feathers!

''{The next slide appears: A man in a Thnikkaman costume, which consists of sloppy blue makeup and hair dye and an orange shirt with a piece of paper reading "tH" on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Here comes the terrible Thnikkaman costuuuuume!

'''THE THNIKKAMAN:''' Yeah, nice face, kid.

''{The next slide appears: A man with gray makeup and a strange white object over his head. He is wearing a gray sweater with a noticeable ring underneath and gray pants. He's holding a cigarette in his left hand and has his right arm around a woman who is mostly out of the frame. The camera's flash gives him the appearance of red eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The only inaccuracy I can find with ''this'' picture is that Strong Sad appears to be hugging someone of the female persuasion. But everything else: spot on.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I have three ribs!

''{The next slide appears: A baby in a Homestar costume. The baby's arms are hidden inside the shirt.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, yes, child services? My name is called Strong Bad. I would like to report a severe case of infant abuse. I think they cut off his arms!

''{The next slide appears: A man with a Strong Bad mask, boxing gloves, red boots, a white shirt and black pants is sitting on a street bench.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, well if it isn't Gentleman Strong Bad waiting for the Good Posture Trolley! A-ding-ding, everyone!

''{The next slide appears: A young man in a Homsar costume. Like the real Homsar, he stands pigeon-toed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The missing teen, dressed as some type of giant moron, was last seen wandering into the woods, repeating ''{imitating Homsar}'' "AaAaAaAa'm the make-money magnate!"

''{The next slide appears: A young man with a cap and red shirt. An uneven paper star is taped to his shirt.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa, Strong Bad! When did you take that picture of me?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, that is not you. That looks nothing like you.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What are you talking about? That is me!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, this appears to be a picture of an unfortunate young man who fell down on a roughly star-shaped piece of paper with some Scotch tape on it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You just described me!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, okay, you win, it's you. I took this picture of you.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's right! Oh! ''{singing}'' I am me-beee!

''{The next slide appears: A man in a Thnikkaman shirt and sunglasses.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, another Thnikka—

''{The next slide appears: A man dressed similarly to the last one getting a kiss on the cheek from a woman.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, another Thnikka—

''{Another man in a Thnikkaman costume appears, though this one is in a red shirt.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, another Thnikka—

''{Another man in a Thnikkaman costume appears. This one has light blue makeup on his face and a green belt.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, ''{singing}'' another terrible Thnikkaman costuuuuume!

'''THE THNIKKAMAN:''' Yeah, give it up, kids.

''{The next slide appears. This one appears to be an ordinary man wearing a fake mustache. What appears to be a towel rack can be seen behind him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, you dressed up as one of the—

''{The slide changes to show a picture of the Videlectrix programmers, one of which has a similar mustache.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —Videlectrix guys?! Man, I thought that Crack Stuntman guy was gonna—

''{The slide changes back to the last image.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —have a hard time explaining his costume to the ladies. Though I get the feeling that wasn't much of an issue for you. Sittin' around in your bathroom, takin' pictures of yourself.

''{The next slide appears: A different picture of the last person. Then another appears: A girl sitting on a desk wearing a light blue "homsar" shirt exposing her midriff and matching skirt with white leggings.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now ''this'' is what I'm talkin' about: Modestly Hot Homsar! And not one iota hotter! You can do all the sultry poses that sitting on your desk will allow. Still. Modestly. Hot.

''{The next slide appears: A woman with a Yello Dello costume.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa, Strong Bad! When did you take that picture of Marzipan?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, you ''wish'' Marzipan had legs like that! Or... ''legs.''

''{The next slide appears: A person wears a disproportionate Strong Bad mask, white tank top, and boxing gloves, and holds a thin piece of cardboard with "Lappy 486" written on it. Also present is a man with a Homestar shirt, bad white makeup, and a hat that was obviously patched over to make it appear blue. "Homestar" is holding a can with a pink piece of paper attached, which is presumably supposed to be Melonade.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, it's the little things that make these costumes so terrible. Can't be bothered to find the elusive ''blue baseball hat''?

''{The slide shifts to a close-up of "Homestar's" hat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why not waste a whole roll of painter's tape?

''{The slide shifts back}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Not satisfied with just dressing up as Strong Bad? Why not confuse people by taping—

''{The slide shifts to a closeup of "Strong Bad's" "computer".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —a piece of paper to some cardboard and claiming it's a laptop computer?

''{The slide shifts back.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' "Oh, so you guys are dressed as GI Joe?"

''{The slide of the man in the Crack Stuntman outfit reappears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{fraternity brother voice}'' "Yeah, baby, that's right! I'm dressed as GI Joe!" ''{female voice}'' "Let's go make out!" ''{fraternity brother voice}'' "Oh yeah! Cheat Commandos, rock rock—" ''{female voice}'' "You wanna make out or not?!"
''{fraternity brother voice}'' "Yeah, sorry."

''{A "Back" button appears.}''

==Transcript==
''{The words "Some Halloween Costumes" are displayed at the top of the screen against a blue background. Dominating the screen is a picture of a man dressed as Strong Bad typing at a computer displaying a Strong Bad E-mail.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' "Dear Strong Bad, how do you type with pieces of crappy red foam taped around your hands? Sincerely, Dress-up Donny." Come on, man. Give me a little effort here. The gloves. G-Get some real gloves.

''{The picture changes to someone in a Strong Bad mask and boxing gloves punching a man with a papier-mâché Homestar head and a Homestar shirt.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' Here I am beating up some kind of...mashed potato man. Uh, they got my head pretty good in this one, 'cept I'm not sure what that junk in the front is. I clearly don't have any junk in the front.

''{The picture changes to a man in a purple cap, a green jumper and trousers, wearing a large medallion like Coach Z's.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' This guy's Coach Z costume's all right, but what he really nailed was the condition of Coach Z's apartment. That place looks like a sty hole. Ooh, pretzels!

''{The picture changes to an illuminated pumpkin with The Cheat carved into it.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' So let me get this straight: you guys paid a squirrel to come and gnaw The Cheat into your pumpkin? That's a waste of money. A colossal waste of money. Those squirrels' rates are... pretendous.

''{The picture changes to a model of Trogdor above a banner reading "BURNiNATiNG", flanked on either side by people with jack-o'-lanterns.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' Well, something's gone horribly wrong here, 'cause, uh... these guys either let Trogdor's beefy arm atrophy, or... turned it into a...buffalo wing.

''{The picture changes to a pumpkin painted to resemble Strong Sad's head sitting on a windowsill.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' Ah, nothing brightens up a window quite like Strong Sad's severed head.

''{The picture changes to a model of Homestar.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' Oh man, if I saw that thing runnin' around my back yard, I'd get out the compound bow. And then I'd tell it to take those Kleenex boxes off its feet.

''{The picture changes to an assortment of illuminated pumpkins with Homestar Runner images carved into them: the H*R logo, The Cheat, Strong Bad, Homestar, Strong Sad, Strong Mad, and Coach Z.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' Whoa, those things rule! These are, like, the talismans of power! You know, like, when they're all together they're a source of unspeakable evil, but then they all get separated and you have to collect them, so, like... the first board would be the jungle board, and maybe the second board is Ice World, ''{his voice begins to fade away}'' and then there's probably a desert world in there and a fire world...

''{The picture changes to a man wearing a Strong Bad mask and boxing gloves making out with a girl. To the left is a sign saying "HIGH FIVES" and to the right, one saying "MAKE OUTS".}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' Whoa! That guy's totally getting to first base in front of, like, the dining hall, and it's all because he's dressed like me! Unless that girl's trying to suck out my eyeballs...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{voiceover, spookily}'' See... see!

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' Shut up!

''{The picture changes to two people, one dressed as Marzipan, with her hair apparently obscured from view, and the other as Homestar, standing in a field in front of some trees.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' Pwahaha! Oh, geez... you know, I've always preferred the snub-nosed Marzipan to the long-necked variety. ''{sings}'' Ohhh, people with too much time on their hands, oh, there's people with way too much time on their hands...

''{The picture changes to three people in a living-room dressed as Homestar, Strong Bad and Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Barrel-chested Homestar comes with everything you see here! Paper-boxing-gloves Strong Bad not included. Dumpy Robert Smith action figure sold separately. Cozy Americana country décor available at fine stores everywhere.

''{"Back" appears at the bottom left of the screen.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
* A [[Wikipedia:Compound bow|compound bow]] is a bow with a pulley system that reduces the tension on the bowstring when it is fully drawn. This allows the archer to hold the draw longer and take better aim.

===Trivia===
*The email shown on the screen in the first photo appears to be from [[sibbie]].

===Remarks===
*The "Kleenex Boxes" on the Homestar model's feet are really wet wipe boxes, identifiable by the blue plastic lids.
*The existence of Coach Z's apartment is questionable since it was never mentioned before. He says in his character video that he does not, despite rumors, sleep in a locker, but usually crashes on the locker room bench.

===Inside References===
*The picture of the guy "reaching first base" with "Make-Outs" and "High Fives" signs is a reference to the Strong Bad [[character video]], in which Strong Bad orders "dudes" to line up on the left for high fives and "ladies" on the right for [[Making Out|makeouts]].
*Homestar's "See... see!" is a reference to [[Malloween Commercial]], in which he claims that this is the noise that eyeballs make.

===Real-World References===
*"Dumpy Robert Smith Action Figure" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Robert Smith (musician)|Robert Smith]], lead singer and front man of rock band [[Wikipedia:The Cure|The Cure]] (which [[Strong Sad]] is a fan of), known for his quite liberal use of makeup.

===Fast Forward===
*The costume commentary concept has been repeated yearly since this toon, with the exception of Halloween 2004.

Talk:Fan Costumes '06

2009-07-22T08:11:24Z

Onamuji: /* The Cheat's Hot Mom! */

==TGS-esque Voices?==
This might just be me, but the teen kid and gravely mum/mom voices sound a bit like characters from Teen Girl Squad. Do you think they did voices like that on purpose? Because the Mom sounds sorta like The Ugly One, or one of the other members of the Squad. --[[User:Gerkuman|Gerkuman]] 09:45, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
:Both TGS and the commentary were done by Strong Bad, so they are bound to sound similar.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 09:43, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
:I was thinking that the teenage boy voice sounded like teenage Strong Bad from [[highschool]]. I don't think they're intentional references though. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 09:44, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
::But there is a chance that TBC chose that style of voices for it. (Croaky, high Stongbad voices) Is that qulaification for a fact or is it too much of a stretch? --[[User:Gerkuman|Gerkuman]] 09:49, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
:::My interpretation is that Strong Bad was choosing from his repertoire of croaky voices to make fun of the guy in the picture, not necessarily trying to draw reference to the TGSers. (I may be wrong though.) {{User:Trey56/sig}} 09:52, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
::::To me, the Mom voice sounds a lot like Delililea (or however you spell that) from the email Senior Prom. But yeah, it's TTATOT. The croaky SB voice style is prevalent throughout the site. ~ [[User:Bruce|Bruce]] 04:59, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
:::::Definitely TTATOT. But just to share ''how'' TTATOT - I hear a lot of PBTC Strong Bad in the last "teenager" line. Of course. that's ridiculous. We have to realize that all these different voices are by one guy, and hey, some of them will sound alike from time to time. That does not, however, mean it's a reference. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 10:00, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

== Transcript Uncertainties ==

There were a couple lines in the transcript that I wasn't sure about:
<blockquote>
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes. Thank you. Tonight.
</blockquote>
Could this be "Good night"?
<blockquote>
'''STRONG BAD:''' What's this guy smilin' about? {in a mocking voice} Oh, yeah. I just got promoted to the three-foot-wide cubicle. Now I can fit four to three post-its on my wall. Hey Doogen, you stayin' after tonight for the LAN party?
</blockquote>
I'm really not sure about these, especially the Local Area Network party... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 09:56, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
:I'd say that It 's more likely to be goodnight. But I think the LAN party thing shows up SB's lack of computer knowlege, rather than a mistranscribe. --[[User:Gerkuman|Gerkuman]] 09:59, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
::Yeah, "Good night." makes more sense contextually...I just had trouble hearing the "g" sound. Go ahead and change it if you're confident in what you hear. :) {{User:Trey56/sig}} 10:04, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
:I think the first one is probably "Tonight". He said it a lot in local news, and that's what it sounds like to me. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 10:09, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
:Drat, it can work both ways. --[[User:Gerkuman|Gerkuman]] 10:11, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
::It's "tonight" from [[local news]]. It's a hard reference.
<blockquote>'''STRONG BAD:''' Good evening and tonight. 
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, well, thank you, tonight. 
 
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{commentary}'' ...So, if you're a news...carster...you gotta...you gotta say "tonight" as much as possible. 
'''MIKE:''' Mmhmm. 
'''STRONG BAD:''' That's what I learned. 
'''MIKE:''' Well, you say it a lot in this email. 
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, you're supposed to. Because you have to remind people, or they'll think it's the afternoon news, and they'll turn it off. Nobody wants to watch that crap. 
'''MIKE:''' No, just the evening news. 
'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. Evening— 
'''MIKE:''' "Tonight." 
'''STRONG BAD:''' Tonight. The tonight news. We should have called it that. 
 
''{simultaneously, after newscaster Strong Bad says "Yes. Well, thank you. Tonight."}'' 
'''MIKE:''' There, he said... There, he did... So, Bubs... Bubs is... 
'''STRONG BAD:''' See? Because, see, someone was about to change the channel, they'd be like, "Oh, this is the—this is noonday. I don't want to watch noonday." Oh! Yeah... 
 
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{After newscaster Strong Bad says "tonight" again}'' ...See? Once again, that was, like, five more viewers— 
'''MIKE:''' That doesn't even make any sense. 
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughs}'' What do you mean? 
'''MIKE:''' I mean, you're just saying "tonight." 
'''STRONG BAD:''' I s—I kept reiterating that it is tonight! 
'''MIKE:''' And you never told us what the World in Crisis was about. 
'''STRONG BAD:''' That's to get you to come back tomorrow night and watch.</blockquote>
::—[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 15:34, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
:Doogen sounds like a good enough guess to me. It's probably his last name. LAN party, definitely. Geeky people at the office have LAN parties. Just like me and people from my workplace. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 15:37, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

== Mario and the KOT ==

I put this fun fact in, but I'll admit it's a bit of a stretch:
*The Mario costume in the background of one of the pictures may be a reference to the King of Town, who dressed up as Mario in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]].
What do you guys think? Keep, or is it too far a stretch?
*The Al Roker losing a lot of weight in regards to Strong Sad also is too much of a stretch. It's just a skinnier guy dressed up as SS, just like the above is just a guy dressed as Mario standing next to a guy dressed like HSR.
:We don't note references that are made by other people as references. TBC didn't make a Mario reference, the submitter of the photo did. So I say it's unnotable. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 15:35, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
I was immediately reminded of this when I saw it but I don't think it's a reference. {{User:Salty/sig}} 01:34, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
:I was reminded of myself on Halloween when I saw this. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 00:38, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

== Not Necessarily ==

To me, it sounds like Homestar is saying "Not necessary", which would make more sense in the context. --[[User:Color Printer|Color]] [[User talk:Color Printer|Printer]] 14:04, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

:"Necessarily" makes perfect sense. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 15:36, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

== Missing Picture ==

Has anyone noticed that when you scroll your mouse over the fan costumes '06 button in the holiday section you see a picture of a Homestar costume in the preview box and it's not in the cartoon.[[User:Flamer8965|Flamer8965]] 14:52, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

== Quake? ==

Is it just me or is it really the Quake logo on strong bads mask on pic 13? [[User:Cyberdemon]] 7:03am, 7 Nov 2006
:No, it's not the Quake logo. It's just a really badly drawn version of that one silver "V" thing on Strong Bad's mask. {{User:The_Spainish_Inquisition/sig}} 21:15, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

== Mushrooms ==

Homestar saying that Luigi tasted like Mushrooms is a reference to the Mushroom Powerups and overall mushroominess of all the Mario games.

== Cubicle guy ==

Am I insane or is his head -significantly- too small to be a human head? Is that guy a puppet or something?
:You may be insane. Or huge-headed. But that's speculative. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 10:08, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
::Well, whoever is insane: The picture seems to be taken with a wide-angle lens. What is closer, gets bigger (than normal), what is farer, gets smaller. And of course: Don't you think as well, the cubicle guy is Strong Badman? -[[User:Arjuna|Arjuna]] 11:43, 24 December 2006 (UTC)-
:::Ohhhh wide-angle lennns... I get that.

==Change The Picture, You Guys==
That lady creeps me out.
:What? Not even The Cheat is scared by that ;-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:13, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

== Coach Z in the fizzoyay... ==

Should it even be noted that Coach Z pronounces foyer "foy-a" as opposed to "foy-er"? They're both perfectly valid.

== Gron Sad's voice ==

Is it just me, or does Strong Sad's voice sound a bit odd in this one? It sorta sounds to me like Mike did the voice, maybe. The inflection is very different from usual and also the pitch, more like the one of the older style Strong Sads.
:I agree. The first time I watched it, I thought maybe Strong Bad was doing an impression of him, since it didn't really sound like something Strong Sad would actually say. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 07:39, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
::Maybe that's what he sounds like after losing weight. I don't know. It's all speculative. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 10:04, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
:I remember they said on one of the commentaries that sometimes Mike will do Strong Sad, because Matt can't do it right if his voice is strained at all. So that's probably all this is. But like Qermag said, it's still just speculation. {{User:Exhibit A/sig}} 16:50, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

== "Margie" ==

I don't think that SB saying "Margie" is a mistake. If you look closely, you can see that the Marshie costume has eyelashes for no apparent reason, making it look like a female version of Marshie. SB saying "Margie" is just poking fun at that, not an {sic}. [[User:Zero.exe|Zero.exe]] 17:48, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

:No, I agree that it's intentional, but I think the [[HRWiki:Glossary#S|''{sic}'']] is there to let people know that it's ''not'' a mistake. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:52, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

:I thought he looked like tofu. [[User:Whatever2965|Whatever2965]]

== "Ho-ties?" ==

Did TBC just sacrifice the no-swearing rule to make a bad joke? ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 18:23, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
:No, I'm sure it's just another one of Strong Bad's weird pronounciations. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::There is no "no-swearing rule", they just try to keep it generally clean. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 18:42, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
:::Ok, so what in nine hecks is ho-ties supposed to be? Ok just as I typed that I got it-- ho_ties -- See? It's totally hotties minus a 't'. [[User:Elvis|That Guy with the Sideburns]]
::::That's my interpretation too. In fact, Strong Bad doesn't spell it any particular way, I just think he pronounces it hōtties with a gap between the syllables. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:26, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
:::::Right. We just spell it so it can be shown how he pronounced it to readers. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::::Yeah, but it's... a pun... that's how I see it. ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 22:06, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

== Photographer ==

[[Image:20061111 Photographer in background with sketch.png|thumb|with sketch]]
Discussion of the following remark:
*In the final photo, a photographer can be seen in the mirror in the background taking the picture, disproving Strong Bad's camera-timer theory.
Can some people weigh in on whether or not they see a photographer in the reflection of the last picture? It's tough to tell... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 07:31, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
:I don't see one...{{User:Loafing/sig}} 07:36, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
::There's a red light, but that's probably from the camera which could be on a stand and timer like Strong Bad said. The reflection of feet behind that guy is actually just that guy's legs. And anything else behind him are letters on the window. (there is no mirror)--{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 07:43, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

== Ali and Ali's Sister ==

This is just a theory, but could the girls in the bear holding a shark T-Shirts be Ali and Ali's Sister? Also, are they the same girls in the Hot Homestar costume last year? [[User:Dramus|Dramus]] 03:34, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

== The Cheat's Hot Mom! ==

I'm pretty positive that I remember, when once viewing the Wiki forums, having seen a user--one who looked just like the aforementioned hot mom--who mentioned totally loving The Cheat. She had a picture of herself and a giant sand sculpture of T.C., submitted for Fanstuff. In fact, it might have been a fanstuuf thread...anyway, shouldn't we list this user in Trivia? Meh, maybe I'lls be '''bold''' and go find her name and add it meself. --{{User:Onamuji/sig}} 07:53, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

'''Page Title:''' The Crazy Dress 'Em Ups

{{dvd|Everything Else, Volume 3}}

==Transcript==
''{The wall of Strong Bad's Basement is visible, and a [[Projections|projector screen]] snaps down from the ceiling. An offscreen slide projector turns on, filling the screen with white light. The projector displays the first slide: two girls, one with pigtails and a [[Store T-Shirts#tshirt bear-shark|Bear holding a Shark T-shirt]], the other wearing an angry bear mask (with pointy, bloody teeth), paws, and fur. She is holding a toy shark over her head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! What's up, ho-ties. Hey, The Cheat... I bet you're not scared of ''that'' Bear holding a Shark.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' And I like the upgrade to... Bear holding a ''Tiger'' Shark... or was that just like... the only shark they had left at the aquarium gift shop?

''{The next slide appears: a picture of a man wearing a Senor Cardgage mask, glasses, and gloves, holding a plastic bag and a candy bar in front of a brick wall.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Not only did this guy dress up as Senor Cardgage, but it looks like he also hung out in the same creepy alleyways as him. He wouldn't even have to trick-or-treat since he's got his own bag full of melty candy bars. In fact, I bet he drove around in an unmarked white van givin' out melty candy bars to little kids! What an un-creepy Samaritan.

''{The next slide appears: a picture of a woman wearing a The Cheat-spotted skirt, shirt, and hood, holding a plastic cup in a cluttered kitchen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, it's The Cheat's hot mom...dressed up as... The Cheat's hot mom! Is she giving out frozen margaracheatas again? Ah, The Cheat's hot mom. Always in and out of prison.

''{The next slide appears: a picture of a person wearing a giant Strong Bad mask and giant boxing gloves, in a leaf-covered front yard at night.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' C'mon people, I have boxing gloves for hands, ''boxing gloves''! Not red garbage bags full of dirty diapers! Or... humpback whale hearts!

''{The next slide appears: a picture of a The Cheat costume made out of cardboard boxes and painted yellow bedsheets. The "art" music from [[portrait]] plays in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And here we have a piece from The Cheat's Cubist period. You will notice the artist's careful attention to it being a yellow wedge on top of a lighter-yellow box.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, timeless. Just timeless.

''{The next slide appears: a picture of a person dressed up as Strong Sad in front of a sky blue background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, Strong Sad's lost a buncha weight! And a buncha thumbs! ''{the background of the picture changes to a weather map of the United States of America, with rainy clouds and suns wearing sunglasses}'' And he's become a weatherman!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Today's forecast is partly grey with a forty percent chance of dark grey. Back to you, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes. Thank you. Tonight.

''{The next slide appears: a picture of three children in the street of a suburban neighborhood in daylight. The three kids are wearing (1) a cheerleader costume with boots and a midriff-baring top with a skull-and-crossbones emblem, (2) a Strong Bad mask, gloves, but no shirt, and (3) the [[Wikipedia:Ghostface costume|Ghostface costume]] from the movie ''[[Wikipedia:Scream (film)|Scream]]'' with a knife tucked into the belt.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait a minute. This is just a picture from my actual childhood! That's me with my girlfriend, Pirate Cheerleader, and then there's my best friend The Grim Reaper. Man, we had some good times. Terrorizing the streets of Meadowbrook Chase... two... hills...

''{The next slide appears: A picture of someone dressed up in a very large Homestar Runner costume next to someone dressed up as [[Mario]]. The person dressed up as Homestar is visible through the mouth of the costume.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, a little chicken wire and paper maché... goes ''not'' a very long, long way. Wait a minute, Homestar, who's that in your mouth? Did you eat Luigi?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes Strong Bad, I ate Luigi. He tasted like mushrooms...

''{The next slide appears: A picture of someone dressed up with a Strong Bad mask, one visible boxing glove, and a lopsided butt, standing on a front porch at nighttime.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, what happened to my left butt?! The west butt is the best butt! Everybody knows ''that''!

''{The next slide appears: a picture of a person dressed up in shorts and a very flat Marshie costume on his torso, in front of a brick fireplace.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a mock-teenager boy voice}'' Aw, mom, the guys are on their way over right now, and I don't have a Halloween costume.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a gravelly mock-mother voice}'' It's okay, sweetie; all it takes is a few pieces of paper, a magic marker, and zero imagination.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in the mock-teenager boy voice}'' Thanks, mom! I'll be the coolest kid in school! Everyone loves Margie, the marshmallow!

''{The next slide appears: a picture of a small, fluffy white dog wearing a Homestar shirt and beanie, standing on a rug.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohh. More animal cruelty. Take that lampshade off Mr. Poofers! Though I bet it does keep him from lickin' his own where-the-sun-don't-shine.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Not necessarily.

''{The next slide appears: a man wearing a Strong Bad mask, boxing gloves, a long-sleeved shirt and jeans, sitting in an office cubicle.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's this guy smilin' about? ''{in a mocking voice}'' Oh, yeah. I just got promoted to the three-foot-wide cubicle. Now I can fit four to three post-its on my wall. Hey, Doogan, you stayin' after tonight for the LAN party?

''{The next slide appears: three people dressed up as Marzipan, Homestar Runner, and Strong Bad in front of the inside of a garage door. The person dressed up as Marzipan is wearing purple fabric and pigtails. The man dressed up as Homestar has his face painted white and is wearing a red shirt with some paint on it and a blue baseball cap with a propeller. The man dressed up as Strong Bad is wearing a painted ski mask, boxing gloves and a beige shirt, and is holding a Kick the Cheat toy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, poor Homestar. All his neck-skin sloughed off onto his T-shirt.

''{The next slide appears: a little girl dressed up as Coach Z in a foyer of a house. She is wearing a green jumpsuit, a giant "Z" medallion made out of string and a paper plate, and an askew baseball cap.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Blahh! Something about this ''has'' to be illegal. Coach Z, you need to be in jail... somehow... for this.

'''COACH Z:''' Nah, man, check it out! She's rockin' the foy-ay!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Looks like she's rockin' a paper plate with a Z on it, to me.

''{The next slide appears: A picture of a man dressed up as Homestar Runner with his arms inside a star shirt, wearing tennis shoes, white sweatpants, white facepaint, and a baseball cap.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why do I get the sinking feeling that no one else was present when this photograph was taken? And that the camera's just sitting on a nearby trash can. And that guy accidentally set the timer for three minutes instead of ten seconds, and he sat there and waited the whole time for the picture to take. And after it did, he went back upstairs to his dorm room, and went to bed. I mean, ''and wet the bed''.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*A person known for his acts of kindness is often called a "good Samaritan", based on the [[Wikipedia:Parable of the Good Samaritan|Parable of the Good Samaritan]].

===Trivia===
*The woman in the The Cheat costume is Wiki forum user purrrentice.

===Remarks===
[[Image:Hiddencostume 06.jpg|thumb|100px|Hidden costume from the [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons Menu]] preview.]]
*On the [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons Menu]], when this Toon is highlighted, it displays a [[HR:menuswfs/menu costumes06.swf|fan costume photo]] that does not appear in the Toon itself.

===Inside References===
*The weather map is from [[Main Page 11]].
*Strong Bad saying "tonight" after Strong Sad's weatherman impression is a reference to [[local news]], when he said "tonight" out of context all through his news program.
*Strong Sad becoming a weatherman is a nod to [[keep cool]], where Strong Sad delivered weather reports.
*Strong Bad once again calls dressing a dog up as Homestar "animal cruelty". He first made that statement in [[More Fan Costumes]].

I bet you're not scared of that [[Bear holding a Shark]]" is a reference to [[date]], in which he scares The Cheat with a wooden cutout of the Bear Holding a Shark that pops out from [[behind the Fence]] in [[Strong Badia]]. The Cheat is also scared when it pops out in [[myths and legends]].

*This is another reference to [[wetting the bed]].

===Real-World References===
*Strong Bad asks Homestar if he ate [[wikipedia:Luigi|Luigi]], one of the Mario Brothers. The other person in the photograph was dressed up as [[Mario]].

'''Page Title:''' Corpy NT6!

==Transcript==

''{A view of Strong Bad from behind, sitting in his basement typing at the Corpy on a folding table}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Checking emails at home from your worrrrk computer, ''{the view shifts to a closeup of the screen}'' is kinda like playing first person shooters with your girlfriend. It kinda ruins them booooth.

<blockquote class="corpy email" style="border:#ddd;border-bottom:#ccc;">
Dear Strong Bad, 
my brother had a friend over today and he drove 
me crazy!! What should I do about it? 
 
Crudfully, Henry Wisner WI
<div style="border:none;background:#08089c"></div>
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Dear Strong Bad" as "Dear. Streer. Beer." He reads the closing as a question, as though he's not believing what he's reading, and says "Wisconsin" in place of "WI".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Crudfully? Really? What, was your mom sitting over your shoulder when you typed this email? And is your mom the kind of lady that won't let you type the word 'crap'? Don't get me wrong, I still woulda made fun of you if you ''had'' typed 'crapfully', I prolly would have just left your moms out of it. ''{clear screen}'' So, your bro's fro drove you cro? I don't really have that problem. On account of my brothers are galactically incapable of friend-have. Although when we were kids, Strong Sad had this ''imaginary'' friend that annoyed the crud outta me. Of course, this was back before insane parents made imaginary friends illegal for kids to have. Strong Sad invented him one time when we ''{cut to a view of an attic hatch. The hatch is being knocked at from inside}'' locked him in the attic.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' You know we don't have an attic!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, when we stuffed him in the air vent.

''{The attic hatch transforms into an air vent. Strong Sad's fingers appear through a gap. His index finger wiggles.}

'''STRONG SAD:''' You know we don't have an a—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{interrupting}'' Oh, fine! When we taped him to the ceiling.

''{The air vent transforms into Lil' Strong Sad, in a purple shirt with a bandage over his belly button, stuck to the ceiling with pink tape. Pan down to Lil' Strong Bad}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' That'll teach you to stand and blink. Now stay up there until that Bubble Tape gives out and you fall into my open faced booby trap!

''{Pan down again to reveal a piece of bread on a blue plate with two pickle slices}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' ''{quickly}'' We were out of ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise.

''{cut to Lil' Strong Sad, who is smiling}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Haha! You're right! My brother does look like a big circle with two smaller circles ''{cut to a top shot of Lil' Strong Bad}'' on top of another circle from up here!

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks up}'' Hey! Shut up! Who're you talkin' to?

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Just my new best-also-bubble-taped-to-the-ceiling friend, Scotty Titi!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Corpy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' THAT's half the reason imaginary friends are illegal now! Kids always give them the creepiest possible names. ''{cut to the King of Town, and a cut out-like image with a top hat}'' Rubby Plop-Plop, ''{cut to Homestar and like image of a person}'' Sir Zabblepants, and ''{cut to Bubs and like rabbit-shaped image}'' Dingy Donger, ''{cut to Coach Z and like image of a man, shaking slightly}'' Real Live Actual Mr. Blangcaster Next Door. ''{the imaginary man lifts up an arm}''

''{Cut to Lil' Strong Bad at the stick. The stick has a leaf, and Strong Bad is drilling a brick}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So, anyway, Strong Bad [sic]  and Scotty Titi were always annoying the crap out of us.

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Ahahaha! ''{pan left to show Lil' Strong Sad}'' That's a good one!

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Hey! Shut it up! What are you guys doing over there?

''{Cut to close up of Lil' Strong Sad}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Oh. Scotty Titi and I were just attaching indefinite articles, and he jokingly used "a" before a vowel sound! ''{holds stomach with both hands, making dodgeball-like sound effect}'' Ohohoho!

''{Cut to close up of Lil' Strong Bad}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' I'll attach this ''{raises brick}'' definite brick to Scotty Titi's face! EH!

''{Cut to wide shot as Lil' Strong Bad throws brick at Lil' Strong Sad, which lands harmlessly on the ground.}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Nice reflexes, Scotty!

''{Screen dims}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I say he annoyed us, but it was really just me.

''{Cut to the door to Strong Mad's room. A loud smacking noise is heard from within, causing the whole house to shake.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Strong Mad was going through some... ahem... ''{Cut to Teen Strong Mad in his room, punching a Trogdor-Blacklight poster that reads "PUBERTY". He has acne, facial hair, curly hair, and large glasses.}'' ''changes'' in those days.

'''TEEN STRONG MAD:''' ''{voice cracking}'' GIRLS ARE CONFUSING!

''{Screen dims}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So, it was all up to me. First I tried to render Scotty Titi obsolete as an imaginary friend—

''{Cut to Lil' Strong Sad sitting in front of the couch in the basement with copies of ''Time'' magazine on the floor.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —by exposing him as a ''real''ginary friend. ''{As he says this, Lil' Strong Bad pops out from behind the couch with a sack of "Fat Dumb White Flour"}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Aha! ''{empties flour onto floor; Lil' Strong Sad looks surprised momentarily and Lil' Strong Bad starts looking inside the now empty sack}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I used to get imaginary and invisible mixed up a lot as a kid.

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Oh, thanks, big brother. I've always wanted to pit my skills ''{pats belly}'' against a pile of cake flour!

''{screen dims}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And of course, at one point, I tried to... ''{cut to Lil' Strong Bad facing away from the screen, slowly zooming in}'' Titi. On Scotty Titi.

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Oh no! My new boots!

''{cut back to Strong Bad at the Corpy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I finally had no recourse but to fight imaginary fire with imaginary fire. So after drinking three gallons of blue drink, I made up my own imaginary friend so they could fight to the imaginary death!

''{cut to Lil' Strong Bad with blue liquid around his mouth. Two empty bottles of Blue Drink are visible.}

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Hey! Scotty Titi! I'd like you to meet my new friend, Frishy Freshy Dragonman!

''{The two imaginary friends appear; Frishy Freshy Dragonman is half-dragon half-man and Scotty Titi is a lump wearing a hat}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Scotty, look out!

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Wait. ''{cut to Lil' Strong Bad and Lil' Strong Sad}'' Scotty Titi is just a lump? ''{cut to Scotty}'' A mound? ''{cut to closeup of Scotty}'' A pile?

''{Cut to Lil' Strong Sad}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' ''{shrugs}'' Pretty much.

''{Cut to the two imaginary friends. Frishy Freshy Dragonman burninates Scotty Titi.}''

'''FRISHY FRESHY DRAGONMAN:''' ''{to Lil' Strong Bad}'' Can I go now?

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, you're done.

''{Frishy Freshy disappears with a poof}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Corpy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You ''{types "Ya"}'' still there, Crudkid? I don't know if your mom let you watch this far into the email or not. Anyways, I'm not suggesting you breathe fire on your brother's friend, you know?  I'm suggesting you duct tape him to the ceiling. Your realginary pal, Strong Bad. Or, ''{deletes back to the start of Your realginary...}'' Your imaginary pal, Pumpy Clumpy.

''{[[Envelope Paper]] comes down}''

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end of the email, click on "duct tape him to the ceiling" to see a scene between Lil' Strong Sad and Scotty Titi.
:''{Lil' Strong Sad and Scotty Titi are sitting in front of the couch with the copies of ''Time Magazine''.
:'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Spiro Agnew's favorite slacks! That's right! You're so good at Time Magazine: The Game, Scotty!
:*Whilst Strong Sad is talking to Scotty Titi, click on the word "TIME" on the magazine in Lil' Strong Sad's hand to see the question being answered.
<blockquote>
Q: What were Richard Nixon's favorite slacks?
</blockquote>
*At the end of the email, click on "Pumpy Clumpy" to see an outline drawing of Pumpy Clumpy.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*A [[Wikipedia:First-person shooter|first-person shooter]] is a video game genre which centers the gameplay around gun or projectile weapon-based combat through the first person perspective.
*Mentioning of illegalization of imaginary friends by insane parents possibly has to do with a recent trend in child-rearing that believes imaginary friends are unhealthy, and an example of mental instability.

===Trivia===
*This is Lil' Strong Sad's first speaking role.
*The back of Lil' Strong Bad's mask has what appears to be a Velcro strap, as opposed to strings. This is similar to how children wear shoes with Velcro on them instead of laces.

===Remarks===
*[[The Stick]] in this email has a solitary leaf, presumably because it is younger and still alive.
*In [[yes, wrestling]], Strong Bad said that Homestar Runner had an imaginary tag-team partner named "Gary the Legend".
*The [[Corpy NT6]] is assumed to be an all-in-one computer, and yet there appears to be a [[Datum Center computer]] attached to it, as if the Corpy NT6 was actually a separate computer tower and monitor. ''(See Inside References)''
**While a Datum Center Computer is presumably attached to it, the only wire visible is the one hooked up the Corpy NT6.
*Lil' Strong Bad tries to [[Peeing|pee]] on Scotty Titi.
*Strong Mad has a [[Trogdor]] poster in his room, which seems impossible as Trogdor was invented on the spot in [[dragon]]. This, combined with the fact that Strong Bad already envisioned Trogdor, may imply this story isn't [[History According to Strong Bad|entirely true]].
*This is the first email since [[being mean]] to have the normal Strong Bad Email file type (sbemail#). The two previous, [[email thunder]] and [[hremail3184]] used sbemailtwohundred and hremail3184, respectively.
**Likewise, this is the first email since being mean with a permanent link to Strong Bad's email address.

===Goofs===
[[Image:ghoust_image.PNG|thumb|200px|Ghost photography]]
*During the scene where Lil' Strong Bad is drilling hole in the brick, Strong Bad says "So, anyway, Strong ''Bad'' and Scotty Titi..." rather than "Strong ''Sad'' and Scotty Titi..."
*Strong Bad apparently does the impossible feat of twisting his arms in a complete circle after he dumps the flour "on" Scotty Titi. (to the viewer, he flips the bag of flour by twisting his arms counter-clockwise, then does it again to turn the bag rightside-up.)
**Not only that, but his arms appear to go through each other, as his arms don't cross when the bag is flipped upside-down.
***Furthermore, the thumbs on his gloves remain in the same orientation whether holding the bag of flour upside-down or right-side-up.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When this email was released, a very faint outline of Strong Bad's face would be visible when the screen fades after Strong Bad throws a brick.

===Inside References===
*The computer console Strong Bad uses is one of the Datum Center computers as seen in [[isp]]. The monitor itself is the Corpy NT6. ''(See Remarks)''
*Strong Bad's comments about "Crudfully yours" are related to emails that usually end with [[Crapfully Yours]].
*Teenage Strong Mad looks very similar to how he did in Strong Bad's "doodle memory" in [[highschool]].
*Lil' Strong Bad's imaginary friend looks similar to the "Dragon-Man" drawing of [[Trogdor]] in the email [[dragon]].
*The flowery wallpaper is the same as the wallpaper of [[1987]], as seen in the email [[no loafing]].
*When Frishy Freshy Dragonman disappears, he makes the same wheezing sound as when [[Sickly Sam]] disappears.
*"Blue drink" is an example of a [[Nondescript Nouns|nondescript noun]].
*The bandage on Strong Sad's belly button is a reference to [[origins]], when Strong Bad hints at the fact that he drilled Strong Sad's belly button when they were much younger.
*The [[Hanging Objects|Trogdor/Puberty poster]] in Strong Mad's room is based on the [[Trogdor Poster|actual poster]] for sale in the [[Store]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Bubble Tape|Bubble Tape]] is a brand of bubble gum that comes in 6 foot long rolls.
*The rabbit-shaped imaginary friend standing next to Bubs is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Harvey (play)|''Harvey'']], a play and movie about a man who insists that he is friends with Harvey, a six-foot tall talking rabbit that only he can see and hear.
*''[[Wikipedia:Time (magazine)|Time]]'' is an American news magazine created in 1923 by Briton Hadden and Henry Luce, making it the first weekly news magazine in the United States.
**''Time: The Game'', which Lil' Strong Sad and Scotty Titi are playing (and which Lil' Strong Sad erroneously refers to as ''Time Magazine: The Game''), was a trivia-based board game inspired by the same newsmagazine. The game was released in 1983 by Time, Inc. and used four question and answer books printed in the same manner as issues of ''Time''.
*[[Wikipedia:Richard Nixon|Richard Nixon]] was 37th [[President]] of the United States of America. [[Wikipedia:Spiro Agnew|Spiro Agnew]] was Nixon's first Vice President.
*The [[Strong Mad's Bass|bass guitar]] in Strong Mad's room bears a resemblance to the [[Wikipedia:Höfner 500/1|Höfner 500/1]], an instrument made famous by [[The Beatles]]' bassist [[Wikipedia:Paul McCartney|Paul McCartney]].
