==Opinions Unlimited==
Best. Intro. Ever. --[[User:Southpaw018|Southpaw018]] 11:47, 15 Nov 2004 (MST)

== EBay ==

Didn't somebody try to sell a "D" on Ebay once? Was that just a legend? Why isn't that on here? Mommy, why is the sky blue? -- [[User:No_Parking|No Parking]]

uh....no. noone sold a "D" on Ebay. no.

== Goof maybe? ==

In the "really old email", when homestar comes out from behind the computer, you cannot see his legs underneath the table, I don't know if that was done intentionally or not

== Debating ==

That made-up e-mail with the crappy voices WAS Powered by the Cheat. The font looks exactly the same as any one of the Powered by Teh C. e-mails. --[[User:generalsling|generalsling]]

:If you're talking about what I think you're talking about; then no, that's the just the third design of Homestar Runner. An example can be found in the [[Homestar Runner Evolution]] article.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 21:51, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)

I'd say it's just a mix. I'm probably pointing out the obvious, but it's the Chap's cartoon, right? They can mix and match styles if they wanna. --[[User:Nom_anor67|Nom_anor67]] 00:28, 7 Aug 2005(EST)

==Closed STUFF==
===Best Email Ever?===
It is odd that Strong Bad doesn't mention [[your friends]] in which he says that it is "the best E-mail I have ever received."

*Someone keeps adding this to the page, and it keeps getting taken off, I thought it would be more appropriate here. Personally I'm ambivalent about it, what do you think? --[[User:phlip|phlip]] 00:56, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Rewrite''' It's not written in NPOV. I suppose I was being a little stubborn about it, though. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 02:24, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second''' Howabouts: "In [[your friends]], he comments that it is "the best email I have ever recieved." However he doesn't mention it as one of his favorites here" --[[User:phlip|phlip]] 02:41, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
***'''Second.''' Both of you are right, I should have been more careful of wording. -- SBEmail22 12:45 AM, 3 May 2005 (EST)
*I don't think it was TBC intention for Strong Bad's comment to be official. Doesn't he also claim that The Basics is his favorite e-mail? Most of the e-mails in ''Favorites'' were made up anyway. '''Decline''' [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 13:38, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 11:33, 2 May 2005 (PDT)
**'''.dnoceS''' --[[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 02:51, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline.''' Actually, in "your friends," SB said that the email he received was the best. In "personal favorites," he's talking about the entire email shows. There's a difference. Even if there wasn't, I still think this fun fact is too sketchy to be desired. -- [[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 01:51, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
**"This is the best" implies favorite. Thats all I'm sayin'.[[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Decline''' He loves all his emails like his childrens. Thus, picking certain emails should not make us think that he really values them more than those not mentioned. Or are you calling Strong Bad an unloving father?? or.. mother? or.. ew! [[User:MetaStar|MetaStar]] 05:33, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
**'''Comment.''' I disagree. If that were the case, logically he wouldn't have answered that e-mail, or he wouldn't have stated what his favorites were. -- SBEmail22 1:59 AM, 3 May 2005 (EST)
***'''Comment.''' I disagree with your disagreement. That is the case, because logically he said so. Those were (close to) his exact words. His disclaimer was pretty much designed to discourage people from thinking that he was splitting emails into 2 classes.
* WASSUP! I '''DECLINE'''. Strong Bad has a record of being rather indecisive about his favorite email. [[your friends]], [[the basics]], and the fake emails from [[personal favorites]] have all been named his favorites... I think it will always be a mystery. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 14:50, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
* '''DECLINE!''' This is a cartoon! Inconsitencies are okay and really dont have to be singled out and noted. Besides, the whole "this is the best email I've ever recieved" line is purely for effect, not necesarily as a real comment. [[User:TakuaKaita600|TK600]] 19:51, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Rewrite''' Perhaps: In the email [[your friends]], Strong Bad claimed it was the best email he had ever recieved. Strangely enough, it wasn't listed as one of his favourite emails. [[User:señor|»ßenit, known as señor«]] 15:35, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

== Changed? ==

I think TBC have recently changed the email to fit Coach Z's "I'm a blade man, man!" because the "I'm a white guy with a knife!" doesn't fit his head movements now. I do remember it not fitting. {{User:Smileyface11945/sig}} 15:57, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

I'm going to hopefully draw attention to this by making this edit. But, what I said still stands. {{User:Smileyface11945/sig}} 01:07, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

== Blade man, man ==

Is it just me, or is the line "I'm a blade man, man" from some movie or something? The full line, if I can remember it, is something like "I'm gonna cut you, man. I'm a blade man, man!"

It's just you. This sorta thing happens all the time. [[User:71.231.56.40|71.231.56.40]] 02:00, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh, wait. I do remember "Santa's gonna cut you man! Santa's a blade man, man!" being used as a riff in the MST3K version of "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians", but I can't find any information on the version listed up there. [[User:71.231.56.40|71.231.56.40]] 00:11, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Yup, and the fact's now on this page. The MST3K episode is on Google Video and you can find this line about 41 minutes in. I ''knew'' it wasn't just me. [[User:OneGyT|OneGyT]] 02:19, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

== HOT LIXX!!! ==

Could someone separate that heavy metal piece at the beginning of the email from the rest of the file and put it up? Or better yet, could someone make a song using that lixx for the riff?
:Actually, the wicked guitar solo was a [[Quote of the Week]] a long time ago, and has an available link there. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Wicked Solo Tab ==

If You Are A Guitarist, I've Put A Tab For The Intro Up On My Page. It's Correct Because I've Played Along With The Song. It Isn't Hard, A Beginer Could Play It Actually. Its Just The Movement Of Fingers That Might Give Someone Trouble. Enjoy! -{{User:Homsar7/sig}}
:Skillfullness!! That should totally be on the actual page for personal favorites. Good job, Homsar with a guitar! --[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/User:The_Homestrongzipansadcheatsmith http://www.hrwiki.org/images/3/3b/The_homestrongzipansadcheatsmith2.PNG] [[User talk:The Homestrongzipansadcheatsmith|Tlk]]/[[Special:Contributions/The_Homestrongzipansadcheatsmith|Cnt]] 22:00, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

== White guy with a knife ==
hey, does anybody have a link to a Mirror to the email before the "White guy with a knife" edit?--{{User:Choc-O-Lardiac_Arrest/sig}} 07:36, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

== Soy Sauce Warrior Kikkoman ==

I know loads of people are going to complain that it's '''not''' actually a real reference, and won't be put in the article, but I might as well point out the parallel I noticed; the commentary seems to refer to Kikkoman as an actual Kikko Man, which is a reference (or not) to [[Wikipedia:Soy Sauce Warrior Kikkoman|the Soy Sauce Warrior Kikkoman]]. Lemme hear that Kikko-Punch. [[User:Ppk01|Ppk01]] 20:23, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

== Hooray for Gonzaga/Georgia University!! ==

Just an observation, but GU just happen to be the initials of Gonzaga University and Georgia University. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 03:51, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

== Knife Fight ==

Call me crazy, but I want to see the knife fight in an actual sbemail. My friends and I all agree it would be pretty sweet. Then again, my friends and I are all pretty wierd. -- [[User:Nom_anor67|Nom_anor67]] 00:23, 7 August 2006 (EST)
:Call me crazy, but this is an actual sbemail, and it does feature the knife fight. ;-) {{User:Loafing/sig}} 04:45, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
::Got me there. But I want to see the WHOLE thing, not just an awesome preview. -- [[User:Nom_anor67|Nom_anor67]] 01:07, 7 August 2006 (EST)

==Who did that tune?==

Who did that wicked guitar solo? [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 04:35, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

==What Was He Saying?==

What kind of word would he be trying to spell with several "u"s in a row? If "g" and "u" were the only ones broken, he would type regular and only g's and u's would show up. [[User:Catman87|Catman87]] 21:02, 26 September 2006 (CST)

== Podstar Runner link never worked. ==

And it continues not to work. Can we gets a link that does? -Teh C.
:I think there can only be so many toons available for download from Podstar that the older ones must be removed. Maybe, then, we should remove the links that no longer work, or perhaps replace them with a mirror. It would be a good discussion for [[Talk:Podstar Runner]]. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 04:48, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

== The Mysterious Tape Leg ==

50 emails right after [[tape-leg]], there has been a weird situation to Tape Leg II. Can this be true? - {{User:Viklas/sig}} 11:15, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

== Marzipan's Answering Machine ==

I'm assuming the reason Marzipan got a new answering machine is because Strong Bad exploded her old one with his prank call in this email. Is that a safe assumption? [[User:Danbri28|Danbri28]] 23:12, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
:We can't really say. Heck, it's likely Strong Bad just made it up (as he did much other things in this email) and it's just coincidence that Marzi got a new machine. (In fact, that's the running theory around here, I think.) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 23:23, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

::See also [[Talk:PhoneTime XL8#Explosion of old machine]]. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 05:29, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

== Is it just me... ==

...or Homestar when he is beaten up by Strong Bad is a jpg? [[User:Homsar44withpie|Homsar44withpie]] 21:57, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

== To the moon! ==

<blockquote>
*When Strong Bad drinks the bottle of soy sauce and tries to fly Bubs' Concession Stand, he falls backwards, causing the "D" from Bubs' sign to fall off. In the next scene featuring the sign (as well as Strong Bad flying the Concession Stand), the sign is not missing the "D".
**Alternately, The Cheat was gnawing on the Concession Stand prior to Strong Bad falling backwards.
</blockquote>
I removed the above from the Goofs section. I'd always assumed those two scenes represented different emails, and thus the sign would have been repaired in the interim. Regardless, since these flashbacks were being made up as they went along, it doesn't seem fair to label this a Goof, and I didn't move it to Remarks because it can be explained away so easily. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:40, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
:I personally think it should be a remark at least. It's true that it could have represented a separate e-mail, but the cut to Strong Bad on top of the roof implies that it was the same one. So, it ''could'' have been, true, but it seems like the same one. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 02:57, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
::I'm with Dot com. The two "sbemails" are shown with other sbemails in-between, and Strong Bad describes them differently. They look like separate sbemails.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 03:04, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

50 emails

2009-02-22T01:27:52Z

OneGyT: To me this seems like a clear reference, though obscure. But it's gone unnoticed for 7 years, so I'm puzzled. Anyway, it's about 41 min into the episode if you want to verify.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oh, girl, I want to email you so nice. ''{stops singing}'' All right, everybody. In honor of this, my 50th email, I've decided to answer 50 of your emails! Ready? Go! ''{hits enter}'' Number one:

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="email">Email #1 
Dear strong bad, 
Can you please write a book about 
come-back jokes! 
Mike 
Canada</blockquote>

''{read as a question despite the exclamation mark}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' More like, ''you'' write a book about come-back jokes, ''NERD!'' ''{hits enter}'' Number two:

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="email">Email #2 
Dear Stong Bad, 
what are some cool ways to spell 
different words? example, fat = phat 
 
matt</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, you mean like ''{types}'' strong = stong? ''{stops}'' You seem to like that one. Or how about this? matt = MATT!! ''{He types matt = DELETED!, and the following appears on the screen as the email is deleted:}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background:#003893; text-align:center">MATT!!</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Number three:

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="email">Email #3

What is your favorite leg? 
 
Jess and Tiff 
Los Angeles, CA</blockquote>
''{He stops at "Jess and Tiff"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I like all kinds of legs. You know, like the Great Leg... the Leg of Hope... Tape-Leg? ''{the phone rings}'' Oh, man! I was on a roll! Don't nobody go nowheres, I'll be right back.

''{He walks offscreen and answers the phone}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen)'' Hello? Yeah, this is me.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Strong Bad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{on the phone}'' I dunno, what kind of savings?

''{Homestar Runner walks in carrying a fondue pot}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey Strong Bad, I brought back your fondue pot. Strong Bad? ''{He looks around, and then sees the computer}'' Whoa. That TV has words on it.

''{Homestar sits down at the computer and re-reads the email}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, what is your favorite leg? Jess and Tiff. ''{Stops reading}'' Um, ''{typing}'' Hey Crapface! Why dontcha blow it out your ear. Your buddy, Strong Bad. ''{enter}'' Oh, another one!

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">Email #4 
Dear Strong Bad 
How do you type with gloves on 
your hands? 
 
Scott 
Surrey BC Canada</blockquote>

''{Homestar does not read the signature.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, even ''I'' know what to do with this one. ''{types}'' BALEETED! ''{hits enter, nothing happens}'' Wha—? Oh. Umm... ''{types}'' DELTEATED! ''{enter, nothing happens}'' No? Uhh...

''{Cut to Strong Bad talking on the phone}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Del Taco?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, they're more like elephant feet. Yeah. So what do you think, like, 50 bucks? Sounds good. ''{Whispers}'' I'll leave the key under the at-may.

''{Back to the Compy 386. Homestar has typed in many, many words that he believes to be "deleted", but none of them do anything.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What is that stupid word?

''{He types in "da cheated" and hits enter. The Compy plays its start up noise and the blue "Flagrant System Error" screen comes up. It reads:}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background:#455fd8; text-align:center">FLAGRANT SYSTEM ERROR 
 
The system is down. I dunno what 
you did, moron, but you sure 
screwed everything up good.</blockquote>

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh-oh. This does not look good for Homestar Runner.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad on the phone}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay. Bye!

''{He hangs up and walks off. Cut back to the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay. Back to the 50 emails.

''{He sits down. There's a piece of paper over the monitor with a Windows error window titled "This is real." It reads:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading}'' Everything is fine. Nothing is ruined. Oh, that's good to hear. Let's just— Wait a minute! ''{he tears off the paper and sees the blue screen}'' Wha... Flagrant Error? What the... Where did all my emails go?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' WHAT?!? The paper?! This isn't over yet! Go back up, go back up!

''{Strong Bad swats at The Paper and then tries to hold it up off the screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, wait! I think I can remember some of those emails! Uh, "Dear Strong Bad, why are you so awesome? Yours truly, Dumpface." Well, Dumpface, it's a long story. It all started with The Cheat one day when he was going down to the...

:'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' The Sneak! How was that? I told that poor sap I'd give him what for! Yes... now go and steal me fresh jam!
:''{The Sneak scurries off}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*When Old-Timey Strong Bad responds to Lord Elsington Hallstingdingdingworth in the Easter egg, he calls him a "carpetbagger." A [[Wikipedia:carpetbagger|carpetbagger]] is actually a post-Civil War term for a Northerner moving to the South after the war to get rich or gain power.
*When Strong Bad says, "I'll leave the key under the at-may," he is speaking [[Wikipedia:Pig Latin|Pig Latin]]. "At-may" would mean "mat."

===Trivia===
*This is another instance of [[Strong Bad checking more than one email]].
*The title of the page may be a reference to the phrase "Lordy, Lordy! Look who's forty!" which is usually used on someone's 40th birthday, even though this is Strong Bad's 50th email.
*The phone ringing sound effect is "ringin.wav", from the Microsoft system sounds included in Windows 95 through Windows XP.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#tongue of the fatman|tongue of the fatman]]".
*The date on the telegram is "11th/x4/29..".
*This is the first email in which the "[[DELETED]]" screen is shown on the Compy (However, The deleted Screen read "MATT" instead of The Actual "DELETED"). The background is blue, whereas it was green on the [[Tandy 400]].
*This is the first instance of [[The Paper]] coming down more than once.
*This is the first appearance of [[Strong Bad's Fondue Pot]].

===Remarks===
*It is strange that Homestar calls the computer screen a "TV [that] has words on it," yet he immediately knows he can type a response to the email.
*The telegram received by Old-Timey Strong Bad has an incomplete [[Wikipedia:Boolean algebra|boolean]] [[Wikipedia:truth table|truth table]] in the upper right corner.
*In the Easter egg, Old-Timey Strong Bad fails to end his telegram with a 'stop'.
*You can't click The Paper when it first comes down.
*On most DOS versions it is impossible to have filenames on both the left and right side of the screen.
*When Strong Bad jumps off his stool and The Geddup noise is made, his stool doesn't move.

===Goofs===
*As Homestar sits down in front of the Compy, his darkened reflection appears in front of the wall.
*When Homestar is talking while reading/answering an email, his lips' movements and the movements in the reflection are not in sync.
*Telegrams are always typed in upper case. They also never use any punctuation, hence the word STOP at the end of each sentence.
*Morse Code uses anywhere from one to four strokes per letter or punctuation mark. Therefore, Old Timey Strong Bad's response telegram, while not expected to be perfectly accurate, is indeed way off.
*Three different shades of blue were used for the system error screen (each of which were a different shade from the "MATT" screen). The color changes from a bright blue to a duller blue as Strong Bad is sitting back down.

===Glitches===
*When you adjust the contrast while Homestar is at the computer, his reflection isn't affected.
*When Strong Bad says "Matt" while typing "DELETED", his reflection appears above the Compy for a moment.
*When you adjust the contrast on the "Flagrant System Error" screen, the text changes color rather than the background.
*When Strong Bad is talking before he answers the first email you can hear a low pitched hum. For the rest of the email, the pitch is higher.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad starts his email checking by saying, "Ready? Go!" This is a reference to [[spring cleaning]], when he said that to start his spring cleaning.
*When he responds to Email #3 ("What is your favorite leg?"), Strong Bad mentions tape-leg. This is a reference to [[tape-leg]], one of his past emails, and represents yet another [[Tape-leg|inside joke]] of the Homestar Universe.
*The phrase "The system is down" is from [[techno]].
*The "[[How do you type with boxing gloves on?]]" and "[[DELETED]]" running gags play a prominent role in this email.
*Right before Strong Bad hangs up the phone, you can see it is [[Disconnected Telephones|not connected to anything]].
*This is another instance of [[Strong Bad's computer malfunctioning]].
*This is another instance of the common misspelling "[[Stong Bad]]".

===Real-World References===
*The blue "Flagrant System Error" screen is a spoof of the [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Windows 9x]] [[Wikipedia:Blue Screen of Death|blue screen of death]].
*In the Old-Timey Strong Bad Easter egg, Strong Bad ends his emails with the word "stop". Back when telegrams were used, most people used "stop" instead of a period.
*The telegram in the top left corner says "X-11ish". [[Wikipedia: X Window System|X11]] is a windowing system for Unix-like computer systems.
*Coach Z's "I'm a blade man, man" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Mystery Science Theater 3000|Mystery Science Theater 3000]] episode where they riff [[Wikipedia:Santa Claus Conquers the Martians|Santa Claus Conquers the Martians]] and one of the MST3K characters says, "Santa's gonna cut you, man. Santa's a blade man, man."

===Fast Forward===
*"Diggity", one of Homestar's attempts at "DELETED" (see below), appears in Strong Bad's deletion song in [[unused emails]] and [[car]].
*"De la soul", another attempt to say "DELETED", is sung by [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#Brainkrieg|Brainkrieg]] in the email [[death metal]].
*The "Flagrant System Error" screen appears again in [[virus]] and (as "Flamboyant System Error") in [[Biz Cas Fri 1]].
*The fake Windows system report appears again in [[The System is Down]], [[Not the 100th Email!!!]], and on [[Main Page 22]].
*Homestar would eventually say "DELETED" correctly in [[retirement]], when he helps Strong Bad delete an email harder than ever before.
*When Strong Bad is on the phone, he may be talking about poachers offering money for [[Strong Sad]]'s "[[Soolnds|elephant feet]]". Strong Sad mentions this in [[modeling]].
*The Swiss Cake Roll and "50" candle appear again in [[big white face]] on top of the cake in the Easter egg at the end.

*Some of the commands Homestar tries are references. Some are more obvious than others:
**"733t3d" — A reference to [[Internet Slang|Leetspeak]], a variation of language used on the Internet where letters are replaced by numbers or symbols. While this is probably meant to say "leeted," it actually says "teeted."
**"beefeated" — The [[Wikipedia:Yeomen Warders|Yeomen Warders]] of the [[Wikipedia:Tower of London|Tower of London]] are popularly known as Beefeaters. Beefeater is also a widely available brand of gin.
**"bubs" — [[Bubs]], not otherwise mentioned or referenced in the email.
**"de la soul" — [[Wikipedia:De La Soul|De La Soul]] is a hip-hop group made of Posdnous, Trugoy, and P.A. Mase. They are best known for their groundbreaking 1989 debut album ''[[Wikipedia:3 Feet High and Rising|3 Feet High and Rising]]''. Their second album, ''[[Wikipedia:De La Soul is Dead|De La Soul is Dead]]'' is on [[Matt Chapman]]'s favorite album list.
**"del monte" — An American [http://www.delmonte.com/ produce company].
**"Del Taco?" — [[Wikipedia:Del Taco|Del Taco]] is a fast food chain that sells American and Mexican food.
**"dltd" — Text message speak for "deleted".
**"meathead?" — This is probably referring to a catch phrase from the 1970s sitcom ''[[Wikipedia:All in the Family|All in the Family]]'' in which [[Wikipedia:Archie Bunker|Archie Bunker]] called his son-in-law [[Wikipedia:Michael Stivic|Mike]] "Meathead."
**"open sesame" — Famous words from the tale ''[[Wikipedia:Ali Baba|Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves]]''.
**"stratego" — [[Wikipedia:Stratego|Stratego]] is a board game.
**"whitebread" — Another example of Homestar's [[Bread|bread obsession]].

Kobe

2008-08-18T23:49:53Z

OneGyT: Bryant's number changed from 8 to 24 in 2006.

[[Image:Kobe_1-4.png|thumb|left|Kobe #1]]

[[Image:Kobe_2-4.png|thumb|right|Kobe #2]]

'''Kobe 1 and 2''' are [[Pom Pom]]'s and [[Strong Mad]]'s roles, respectively, in [[A Decemberween Pageant]]. Nothing is known about them other than the fact that they resemble the basketball star [[Wikipedia:Kobe Bryant|Kobe Bryant]] and were apparently involved in the beginning of the [[Decemberween]] holiday. Although the real Kobe Bryant now wears the number 24, his number was number 8 at the time of this toon.

'''Page title:''' See Participating Stores for Details!
==Transcript==

''{Strong Bad, Strong mad and The Cheat are walking along behind the fence in Strong Badia. Corny advertisement plays quietly under them.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Man, you guys! All this walking around behind the fence being a young person sure has gotten my hunger all up in a dander!

''{Suddenly, the Drive-Thru Whale shoots up from the ground in front of them}''

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE''': Relinquesh your pipes please, fellas!

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{without much emotion}'' Relinquish our pipes? We'd love to!

''{Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat all start laughing. The scene fades slightly as a huge Blubb-O's logo comes on screen, with the words "Come The Heck Down" written underneath.}''

'''ANNOUNCER''': Come the heck down to Blubb-O's and try your dang self the Blubbo's Classic.

''{The scene changes to a red background and a burger appears, with a label below saying "Classic" when the announcer names it.}''

'''ANNOUNCER''': The Original. The Regular. The New Original. The Old Classic.

''{Each time the announcer mentions another burger, another label with the burger's name appears on top of the previous ones, and the new type of burger replaces the old one, even though each burger is identical. Then, a huge deep-fried triangle of fish appears between a burger bun, and another label appears over the others saying "Isosceles Fish Sandwich??"}''

'''ANNOUNCER''': And the Isosceles Fish Sandwich. Wait, fish sandwich? ''{A record scratch and the music stops.}'' We have a fish sandwich? Has anybody ever ordered that thing?

''{We hear a beep as the scene cuts abruptly to a kitchen with a lettuce, two onions and two tomatoes lie on a counter top.}''

'''ANNOUNCER''': At Blubb-O's, all our vegetables are hand tossed through a refreshing cascade of water, and chopped in mid air.

''{As the announcer mentions this, we see the vegetables come through a waterfall and chopped in half with a knife. The scene then changes to a Blubb-O's restaurant counter, with Homestar behind it, looking exhausted, wearing a yellow deli-style hat with the Drive-Thru Whale on it and a yellow apron.}''

'''HOMESTAR''': Welcome the crap to Blubb-O's. Would you like to try a combo meal, ''{Holds up a Blubb-O's meal bag.}'' some Chipotle Potato Nodules ''{Holds up a small paper dish with some fries.}'' or our Attempt-At-Competing-With-National-Coffee-Chains Premium Moccha-Chip Milkshake? ''{Holds up a milkshake with some cocoa beans and the word 'PREMIUM" printed on it.}''

''{The camera cuts to Marzipan on the other side of the counter.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': I just have a question: do you actually use whale meat, or just regular fast food meat? I just need to know hard I should protest you.

''{Marzipan holds up two signs, one with the Drive-Thru Whale with the text "SAVE THE BLUBB-O WHALE", and the other with a charicature of the Drive-Thru Whale with the text "really SAVE THE BLUBB-O WHALE".}''

'''ANNOUNCER''': ''{laughs}'' Family fun, and I'm talkin' about men in costumes, is what Blubb-O's is all about.

''{We cut to the field. Coach Z is in a large Drive-Thru Whale costume with some balloons next to him.}''

'''COACH Z''': Hey kids! I'm the Drive-Thru Whale! ''{Jumps up and down and shouts.}'' I'll chop off your legs!

''{The view changes and we see Strong Sad standing beside him.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Sometimes it seems like you're trying to go to prison, Coach Z.

'''COACH Z''': Hey, three square meals a day!

''{The camera pans to the left and we see Strong Bad and The Cheat in a cardboard box with "HMS Locash" written on the side. Strong Bad is wearing a nautical outfit and holding a harpoon and The Cheat has a harpoon gun.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Thar she blows, The Cheat! Aim for the blowhole!

''{The Cheat says something.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': What? Woah, I didn't even see Coach Z standing in a whale costume. Yeah, shoot him too!

''{As we hear The Cheat fire the harpoon gun, we cut again to a red background with a pale Blubb-O's watermark.}''

'''ANNOUNCER''': And now for a limited time, introducing the Blubb-O's Thick 'n Nasty.

''{A burger with a really thick patty falls into frame, and a gold plate with "THICK 'n NASTY" on it appears on top. A drawing of Peacey P then comes from the bottom with a speak bubble saying "that's right. ya'll blubb-o heads. the thick 'n nasty!"}''

'''PEACEY P''': That's right, y'all Blubb-O heads. The Thick 'n Nasty. ''{grunts}''

''{The camera pans right until a picture of Peacy P's mouth, with gold teeth with "THICK 'N NASTY" engraved on them, fills the screen with another speech bubble saying "eeungh!" The camera then cuts to the image of the Blubb-O's logo with "YOU GUESSED IT...WE'RE CALLED BLUBB-O'S" written below it.}''

'''ANNOUNCER''': Blubb-O's. You guessed it, we're called Blubb-O's.

''{Small lightning symbols start coming out of the logo's whale's mouth, and a speech bubble appears briefly saying "REGISTER DOES NOT CONTAIN MORE THAN FIFTY DOCTORS."}''

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE''': Register does not contain more than fifty doctors.

==Easter Egg==
*At the end, click on the whale's fountain to see Bubs ordering burgers.
:''{We see Bubs through the grill of the Drive-Thru Whale.}''
:'''BUBS''': No, I will not slice my fingers thin! I just wanna dang hambloiger!
:''{We cut to see Bubs in the Gremlin, without tires and put on bricks, pulled up next to the Drive-Thru Whale.}''
:'''BUBS''': I got places to be, man!
:'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE''': You're living a lie. Would you like cash back?

==Fun Facts==
===Inside References===
*Strong Mad was shown holding a Blubb-O's bag in [[nightlife]].
*The car Bubs is in on the easter egg is the [[Gremlin]].
*"I'll chop off your legs!" is a misquote of "Sever your leg please, sir," from [[drive-thru]].
*Bubs saying he wants "a dang hamboiger" is an instance of [["Er" pronounced as "Oi"]]

===Real-World References===
*The Thick 'n Nasty burger is a reference to both the Hardee's Thickburger and McDonald's Big N' Tasty burger.

===Remarks===
*Originally, each vegetable was cut as soon as it went through the waterfall, but this was changed soon after the toon was uploaded, so that they all get washed and then chopped separately.
