'''Bubs' Concession Stand''' is where Bubs works. It is ''the'' place in Free Country, USA to get anything and everything, albeit not everything legal. According to Bubs' [[Yearbook Character Page]] (and possibly [[different town]]), the Stand is located near the [[The Athletic Field|Athletic Field]].

==Notable Events==
*According to [[boring (really)]], the right side of the stand has two hundred and ninety six bricks.
*In the email [[origins]], Strong Bad tells us that the concession stand first entered the cartoon by falling from the sky. It landed on [[Señor]] and [[Mr. Bland]], ending their comic careers.
*In the [[Halloween Fairstival]] Bubs turned the side into [[Bubs' Ha-Ha-Halloween Comedy Club|a comedy club]]. The comedy club was then used for a Poetry Slam in [[rampage]].
*It was flooded by Strong Bad in [[lunch special]].
*It served as a model for [[Mr. Legarm's Bubs Stand|Mr. Legarm's Stand]] in the Strong Bad Play "[[Dreamaway Johnny]]."
*In [[personal favorites]], after drinking too much soy sauce, Strong Bad attempts to fly Bubs' Concession Stand, and The Cheat tries to eat it.
*It has been a location for the shooting of the [[Dangeresque]] films.
*It's one of the hangouts for the [[On Point Kings]].
*In the [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], Strong Bad and The Cheat were finally brought to justice when they tried to blast their way through the back door.
*It apparently has an annual [[Senorial Day]] sale.
*Another worker at the concession stand was [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] who sold magazine subscriptions as seen in [[privileges]].
*Bubs' Concession Stand was closed for about two minutes in the Big Toon [[Cool Things]].
*Coach Z used the stand as a hideout after he thought he "killed" [[Strong Sad]] in [[A Folky Tale]].
*The stand appears to have a basement, as shown in [[geddup noise]].
[[Image:Replacementstand.PNG|thumb||right|Old Mr. Bubs will never know the difference!]]
*A guy named Stan used to work in the stand, until Bubs fired him in the fifth grade.
*The stand was picked up and used as a parade "float" by [[Strong Mad]] in [[Fall Float Parade]].
*In an easter egg from the above toon, Homestar made a cardboard box to replace it, hoping Bubs wouldn't notice the difference.

== Transcript ==
''{A leaf logo appears with the words "The 4Tst Annual Fall Float Parade".}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' We now return to the firty-tirst annual fall float parade.

''{Cut to Coach Z and Marzipan wearing scarves and ear muffs. Marzipan is holding a mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows, and is glaring at Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Okay, den, welcome back. First, please allow me to apologize to my co-host, here, for any inapprapriate comments I may have made while we was at commercial.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{nearly under her breath}'' That's two strikes, Coach Z.

'''COACH Z:''' Yes, yes, what fun!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{suddenly cheerful}'' So, next up is good old Bubs.

'''COACH Z:''' Yes, good old my favorite type o' guy who I'm just all the time hangin' around and doin' stuff with, Bubs!

''{Cut to Bubs on a giant float with the words "COACH Z, YOU JERK" written on it, next to a model of Coach Z's head with a [[Wikipedia:No symbol|no symbol]] over it. There is a banner hanging on the float that reads, "Happy Thanksgiving!!"}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{through a megaphone}'' Coach Z, you jerk!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{surprised}'' Ohhh.

'''BUBS:''' Coach Z, you jerk!

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, I see then...

'''BUBS:''' Coach Z—

'''COACH Z:''' That's very—

'''BUBS:''' ''{with more emphasis than before}'' —you jerk!

'''COACH Z:''' —overt.

''{Cut to a close-up of a giant balloon in the likeness of Pom Pom.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, now here's somethin' that doesn't appear to be makin' fun of me. It's the Pam Pam b'loon!

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's "Pom Pom balloon" for those of you who don't speak Coach Z. Always a hit with the ladies, that Pom Pom.

''{Cut to a wide-shot with the Pom Pom balloon being led offscreen by Pom Pom. A pair of fez-wearing Homsars are coming in behind the balloon driving miniature red cars.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' And never a hit with anyone, it's Homsar! Oh, and there's another Homsar.

'''HOMSARS:''' ''{both of them in unison}'' Let's sing a song of Pennzoil!

''{A new float enters the frame behind the two Homsars. This float has a big pile of sweatshirts in the center, a giant shooting star on the front, and a bee suspended by a giant spring on the back. "SWE ATSHIRTS" is printed on the base of the float. Homestar Runner is buried in the pile of sweatshirts with only his head visible.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, now this is just adorable. Homestar Runner's sweatshirt float.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{referring to the noticeable space in the float's wording}'' Looks more like a "swee-atshirt" float to me.

'''COACH Z:''' You say tomater, I zader matermorts. 

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar buried in the pile of sweatshirts.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Marzipan, help! I woke up in this pile of swee-atshirts and I don't know how to stop it! I'm s'posed to be watching Bubs' concession stand while he's in some ridiculous parade! ''{looks down}'' And I'm pretty sure a rat just bit my knee.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, that's great, sweetie. Say hi to that bee for me.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{annoyed}'' Hi, bee.

''{Cut back to the wide shot. Strong Mad walks into the frame carrying Bubs' Concession Stand, which has clearly been ripped out of the ground recently, as there are missing bricks and bits of sod still hanging from the bottom.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Well, it looks like Bubs has come to his senses and entered a proper float in the parade. 'Attaboy, Bubs!

'''MARZIPAN:''' I'm pretty sure that's just Strong Mad absconding with Bubs' Concession Stand.

'''COACH Z:''' Oh. Serves him right, then.

''{Cut back to Coach Z and Marzipan.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, and here comes one of my favorites: the K.O.T.H.S. Junior Varsity Marching Band!

''{Cut back to the parade. The band enters, made up of The King of Town waving The Poopsmith's shovel like a drum major's mace, The Poopsmith playing cymbals, The Hornblower blowing his horn, and the Knight playing a bass drum. The band comes to a halt. Cut to a close up of The King of Town.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' A-break it down for me, fell-as!

''{Cut to a wide shot of the band again. They face the camera and resume playing, now in a hip-hop beat.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, yeah! I'm feeling this! ''{begins rapping}'' One two, one two, keep it "flond"! Listen to me cause Coach Z's, he's got it goin' on!

''{Cut to a close-up of Coach Z as he continues rapping.}''

'''COACH Z:''' I'm a pretty nice guy with fairly good teeth! C'mon, watch me—

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{breaking into the frame}'' No more free-styling. It's really annoying.

''{Cut back to the parade route. A new float enters. Strong Bad is on the float standing between two snowmen and beating them with nunchaku. The base of the float, which appears to be a mattress on a wagon, reads: "Celebrating 04 Glorious Seconds of Nunchucking Snowmen." The "04" is a digital sign that counts up as the scene continues.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Ah, and here's Strong Bad's annual not-even-remotely-fall-related float.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Is it just me, or does one of those snowmen look suspiciously like Strong Sad?

'''COACH Z:''' Nah, Strong Sad's yellow.

''{Cut to a close-up of Strong Bad and the snowman on the left, who is in fact Strong Sad. He spits out the carrot that had been in his mouth.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ptooey! Strong Bad, I thought you said our float was going to be "Celebrating Our Nation's Covered Bridges!"

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, I said our float was going to be "Sticking-You-in-a-Fake-Snowman-and-Beating-You-Senseless-With-Nunchucks... Covered Bridges."

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, how on earth did I misunderstand all that?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know, man. You hear the words "covered bridges" and you just go into a trance.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{eyes widen as he goes into a trance}'' Ohhh, covered bridges...

''{Strong Sad starts moaning, but snaps out of it when Strong Bad resumes beating him with the nunchaku. A looming shadow crawls across the scene and ominous music plays.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' And, as always...

''{Cut to a close-up of a giant balloon in the shape of [[Marshie]].}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ...bringing up the rear, it's the Marshie balloon!

'''COACH Z:''' Man, that thing has got to frighten some children!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Is anyone guiding that balloon?

''{Ominous music plays again as the camera pans down and The Cheat can be seen hanging from one of the balloon ropes, clearly not in control of the balloon. Cut to a wide shot of the platform Coach Z and Marzipan are standing on.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Run for your lives!

''{The Marshie balloon collides with the platform, knocking Coach Z and Marzipan off.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Argh! I regret everything!

''{The television signal cuts out as the platform collapses. It is quickly replaced by a technical difficulty screen with a turkey pulling a plug. The caption at the top reads "Pardon our problems..." and "The End" appears at the bottom.}''

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
* Marzipan requested that Homestar say hi to the bee for her because she is very [[Sensitive To Bees|sensitive to bees]].
* K.O.T.H.S. stands for "King of Town High School". Most American high schools have marching bands.
* A [[Wikipedia:Covered bridge|covered bridge]] is a bridge with enclosed sides and a roof, usually made of wood. These single-lane bridges are found throughout rural areas of the Northeastern and Midwestern United States.

===Trivia===
*Due to a discrepancy between the names of the HTML file and the Flash file, this toon didn't load properly when it was first released. A corrected version of the HTML file became available about two hours later.

===Remarks===
*Marzipan's smile reverts to [[Marzipan Evolution|an earlier form]] temporarily while Coach Z is announcing the K.O.T.H.S. Marching Band.
*Although the Hornblower seems to be playing when the K.O.T.H.S. Marching Band "breaks it down", there is no sound of the horn.
*While the foliage in the background of the parade has changed to fall colors, it is still green in the Homestar Easter Egg.
*The text on the "blue face man's store" box is in Strong Bad's handwriting [[Fonts|font]], AhnbergHand, even though it is Homestar's work.
*Either Bubs' Concession Stand does not have a basement (contradicting [[geddup noise]]), or Homestar's box is covering the hole that leads to it.

===Goofs===
*At the end when the Marshie balloon crashes into the stand, and Strong Bad's float is visible in the background, the seconds counter showing how long he's been "celebrating glorious seconds of nunchucking snowmen" has nothing on it.
*After Marzipan drinks from her hot chocolate, the mug is still full.
*Strong Sad spit out the carrot in his mouth before speaking, but when we see him in the background of the shot as the Marshie float threatens the platform, it is in his mouth again.

===Inside References===
*The two Homsars are another instance of [[Twin Characters|twin characters]].
*The "pardon our problems" screen is in the same format as the "technical difficulties" screen from [[pizzaz]].
*The [[Wikipedia:Nunchaku|nunchaku]] Strong Bad uses is from [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque's]] "nunchuck-gun" in [[dangeresque 3]].
*This is another appearance of [[Sticky Notes|sticky notes]].
*The wagon supporting Strong Bad's float is the [[Wagon Fulla Pancakes]] without the pancakes.
*When the K.O.T.H.S. band first appears, it plays the theme song from [[The King of Town DVD]].

===Real-World References===
*The theme of a "Fall Float Parade" is a reference to many holiday parades, most notably the annual [[Wikipedia:Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parades]] in New York.
**In a striking coincidence, an errant balloon knocked over a light pole and injured two people during the 2005 Macy's Parade, just three days after this cartoon was released. A similar event also occurred in the 1997 Macy's Parade.
*The fez-wearing Homsars in the little cars are modeled after the [[Wikipedia:Shriners|Shriners]], who also appear often in parades.
*[http://www.pennzoil.com Pennzoil] is an American motor-oil company, which has sponsored many holiday parades and sports events.
**Homsar's line "Sing a Song of Pennzoil" is a reference to the old [[Wikipedia:Nursery rhyme|nursery rhyme]] "Sing a Song of Sixpence," also commonly known as "Four and Twenty Blackbirds".
*"You say tomater, I zader matermorts" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:George Gershwin|George]] and [[Wikipedia:Ira Gershwin|Ira Gershwin]]'s 1937 hit song "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off", which compares the pronunciations of several words, including "[[Wikipedia:Tomato#Pronunciation|tomato]]" (''"to-may-to"/"to-mah-to"'').

== Transcript ==
''{Marzipan and Homestar Runner are in costumes, Marzipan as an angel and Homestar as the King of Town.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wow. I can't believe the night of the big Decemberween pageant has finally arrived! After all the weeks and weeks of rehearsing and practicing and memorizing lines...

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, I don't think those are your lines.

''{Zoom out to see that they're both onstage, actually performing. The audience laughs.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What?!

''{Cut to the title sequence. "A DECEMBERWEEN PAGEANT" "THE USUAL CREDITS" "FADE TO COMMERCIAL" It fades to black, then comes back on with the "A DECEMBERWEEN PAGEANT" title.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' A Decemberween Pageant is brought to you by Fluffy Puff Marshmallows and Marshmallow Mayonnaise. ''{singing poorly}'' "Made from the best stuff!" And Litigation Jackson, in theaters December 27th!

''{Fade to black. It fades up on Bubs and the King of Town, the latter of whom is wearing a Santa outfit.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Puts on a Burger King crown and thinks he's cock of the block! I can't ''believe'' they cast Homestar as the King of Town.

'''BUBS:''' Yep. They did.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' At least I still get to play Dr. Christmas. I can't wait to--

'''BUBS:''' Oh yeah! I forgot to tell you about that. Uh...

''{Bubs takes the cap from the King of Town, puts it on, and walks off. Coach Z pops his head in.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Uh... Kingy? You can go home.

''{Cut to the stage, where Bubs and Strong Bad are on. Strong Bad has a spear, a turtleneck, and a beanie cap.}''

'''BUBS:''' Archibald! We've got to find the first Decemberween!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll search down by the docks.

'''BUBS:''' What?

'''STRONG BAD:''' The docks. I'll search down by the docks.

'''BUBS:''' Ooh. I thought you said ducks. Good thinking! I'll come with ya.

''{They walk off, applause is heard. Cut to backstage as they continue walking and Coach Z is there.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Now that's what I call actin', boys! Don't go too far, Bubs! You're on again in farve!

''{Cut to Marzipan and Pom Pom, who is wearing a Lakers jersey.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' I hardly recognize The Cheat, his costume is really convincing.

''{Cut to back on stage. Bubs is there, as well as Homestar Runner, and The Cheat, who is wearing a sign that says "The Popular Vote". There are gears in the background.}''

'''BUBS:''' We'll need fifty bags of jold! I mean, gold! Fifty bag of golds.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I just can't do it, Dr. Christmas. Famine has ruined all the town's gold. Let us away, Popular Vote!

''{Homestar starts getting lifted up by a rope. Pulley sounds are heard and Homestar is grunting. The audience makes impressed noises, then applauds. Homestar stops at about halfway up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offstage}'' Okay. That's all you're getting out of me. ''{The curtain closes.}'' Guy's like a frickin' house.

''{We hear a thud.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oww!

''{Cut to backstage. Strong Sad is holding his head.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Augh! I'm totally freaking out here! I can't remember my lines, and if I don't remember my lines, then I'll ruin the whole play! At least the pageant.

''{Cut back to the stage. Strong Bad is in a boat named the ''USS Trimball'' and there are cardboard cut-out waves being pulled back and forth, along with tentacles sticking out of stage right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' How unfortunate! Oh, what a terrible fate has bestowed with me...uh, become to me... There's a squid.

''{Cut to later, onstage, with Marzipan and The Cheat standing by a prop Eiffel Tower.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' I'll never forget you, Popular Vote, not in a million years! ''{The Cheat starts crying}'' Don't cry! Popular Votes aren't supposed to cry! You might rust. ''{audience laughs}''

''{Cut to backstage, with Coach Z)''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh! Hey! Ooh! Where's Strong Sad? He's on in two scenes!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. He got nervous and went to the bathroom. I think he might be up-chucking.

''{Coach Z goes to Strong Mad}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey Strong Mad. I need you to go get your brother.

'''STRONG MAD:''' I'M OPEN! I'M OPEN!

'''COACH Z:''' 'Course you are, big guy. 'Course you are.

''{Cut to the stage where Strong Bad, Bubs, Marzipan, and Homestar Runner are doing a music number.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Everyone's searching, looking and searching...

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing}'' And everyone's hanging around!

'''BUBS:''' ''{singing}'' And who can be sure if we're looking for something?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' And looking for something I am!

''{They continue singing. Cut to Strong Mad and Strong Sad in the bathroom. Strong Sad has locked himself in a stall.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'll be there in a second. Tell them to make something up until I get out there.

''{Cut to the stage. Bubs, Marzipan, and Homestar Runner are standing there.}''

'''BUBS:''' Everybody knows me. Mine name Cornbread.

''{Strong Bad walks in}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhh... I found a computer. I think it can help us!

'''BUBS:''' So, this computer you speak of. Where is it?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Umm... on the moon. It's a moon computer.

''{Cut to backstage with Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Remember your line, remember your line!

'''STRONG BAD:''' (offscreen) Astronauts use it to...uh...do their taxes.

''{Cut back to the stage}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' I can take you there! Everyone hop on!

''{Strong Sad walks on.}''

'''BUBS:''' Behold! The first Decemberween!

'''STRONG SAD:''' What?

'''Strong Bad Email #102'''

"Someone" says he'll show Strong Bad a hot girl if he can get Bubs to give out some free lunch specials. Strong Bad switches it up a bit.

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], [[The Field]] (Easter egg)

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sings}'' Oh email, I'm gonna let you down easy... when I break up with you.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="email">Hey Strong Bad, 
Get Bubs to give out free luncch 
specials and I'll show you a hot girl. 
 
Sincerly, 
Someone</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "Hmm. Sounds like a solid deal!" after "hot girl." He pronounces "luncch" as "lunkch" and pronounces "sincerly" as written.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, I hate it when they don't put a name. And when they misspell "sincerely." "Luncch" ''{pronounced as before}'' doesn't bother me so much.

''{Strong Bad backspaces and erases the last two lines, then types out two new ones}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">Keep on tranglin, 
Larry Pat</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well Larry, legend has it that Bubs has to give you a free lunch special if you can get him to say his name backwards - minus the first b. "Sbu." You have to get him to say, "Sbu." How hard could that be, right? I mean, I'm saying "sbu" all the time. This'll be a cakewalk. At least a sbu-walk.

''{Cut to Bubs's Concession Stand. A sign that reads "Super Chinese Fish Buffalo Rice—Smoothies Too!" is hanging over the "Bubs Concession Stand" marquee. Bubs is inside holding a chicken in one arm and wiping it with a cloth. Strong Bad enters.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{sings}'' Shinin' up a chicken in the mo'nin', mo'nin'...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Bubs... Read this sign for me. ''{holds up a sign}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{He squints at the sign, then reads slowly.}'' "Duck A L'Orange."

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? ''{He spins the sign around and reads it. Indeed, it says, "Duck A L'Orange." He produces a walkie-talkie.}'' The Cheat, I thought I told you to make it say "sbu"!

''{The screen splits down the center. On the right is Strong Bad. On the left is The Cheat, who also has a walkie talkie and is sitting next to Strong Bad's computer. A piece of paper attached to the back wall says "Home Base" and has a Strong Badified skull and crossbones drawn on it.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{assorted Cheat sounds}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, you really want some duck a l'orange, huh? You know we can't afford to eat like that! ''{He looks to the side, then puts his hand near his mouth to hide his voice.}'' Aren't you a duck anyways?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry Cheat sounds}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunno. You kinda remind me of a duck...

''{The screen fades to black. Fade back in to the Concession Stand. Strong Bad enters holding a mirror.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Bubbsie! Say your name into this mirror. ''{He holds up the mirror.}''

'''BUBS:''' Bubs!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, hold on. ''{He puts the mirror closer to Bubs's face.}'' Okay, say it again. Say it ''real'' clear this time.

'''BUBS:''' ''{slower}'' Buh-ubs.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, this thing is worthless! ''{He smashes the mirror on the ground and walks away.}''

''{Fade to black again. Fade back in to the Concession Stand. This time, Coach Z is there ordering something.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Gimme a basket of double hot wings, pants down, a couple of egg rolls... ''{He slams his hands to the countertop and speaks forcefully.}'' ...and a cod plank platter!

'''BUBS:''' You got it!

''{Strong Bad walks up and throws a hose into the stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{shouting off to the side}'' All right, The Cheat! Crank it! ''{water starts pouring through the hose}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{annoyed}'' Can I help you?

''{simultaneously}'' 
'''COACH Z:''' I think he's flooding you out. 
'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm flooding you out! 
''{They stop and stare at each other.}''

''{simultaneously}'' 
'''COACH Z:''' I think he— 
'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm floo— 
''{They stop and stare at each other again, and Strong Bad puts his hand in front of Coach Z.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm flooding you out until you say your name backwards minus the first B!

'''BUBS:''' Why are you trying to get me to say "sbu"?

'''STRONG BAD:''' THERE! You said it! Now you gotta give me a free lunch special!

'''BUBS:''' ''{shakes his head}'' No, no, no. Getting me to say my name backwards minus the B just makes me lose my super power!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What super power?

'''BUBS:''' Being able to fly.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You can fly?!

'''BUBS:''' Well... ''{He hangs his head down.}'' Not anymore I can't.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Right.

'''BUBS:''' Eh, I never really used it all that much. Since I gained all this weight, I could really only hover a couple two or three inches above the ground anyways.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{He slams his hands to the countertop and looks around and speaks frantically.}'' Either of you ladies gonna get me my cod plank platter?!?

''{Back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm pretty sure Bubs is a big liar, but I did get him to say his name backwards minus the first B. So now you gotta show me a hot girl, Larry Pat. Or, buy me lunch. Or... whatever the deal was. I'll just go ahead and sit here and wait for the hot girl to appear on my screen, I guess. ''{stops typing, speaks quietly}'' Not like I got a whole lot else going on...mmm.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. A few seconds later, the computer beeps and a new e-mail scrolls up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, an email!

''{Strong Bad reads the email, talking slowly and pronouncing each word just as it is written.}''

<blockquote class="email">Deur Strond bad, 
I hava a emau] n ow. Cheet helps. 
 
Stlong Mad 
 
''attachment''</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, looks like ol' Strong Mad has finally hit the Information Superhighway like a flaming sack o' crap. Oh, and there's an attachment! Maybe he sent me a picture of a hot girl. [[Image:dinosaurbreakfast.PNG|thumb|A fairly hot Brontosaurus.]]

''{Strong Bad double-clicks on the word "attachment" underneath the email. A very poorly drawn picture of a dinosaur standing by a plate of bacon and eggs and a glass of orange juice, all in front of a volcano, pops up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{monotone}'' An MS Paint drawing of a Brontosaurus having breakfast. ''{ends monotone}'' Well... It's a fairly hot Brontosaurus anyhow! ''{talking softly}'' Well hey, what's happenin' Brontosaurus baby... What are you doing... Okay I gotta get out of the house!.

''{Strong Bad gets up and runs away.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on the words "Larry, legend" to see a screenshot of the game ''Jordan vs. Bird: One-on-One'' for the NES.
*After the Paper comes down, but before Strong Mad's email comes up, click on the word ''Bubs'' to see what became of Strong Bad's effort to flood the concession stand.
*Also after the Paper comes down, but before Strong Mad's email comes up, click on the word ''liar'' to see Bubs hovering above the ground.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Offscreen}'' Oh man, that is so fake. Seriously. You can totally see the strings!

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*When The Cheat is next to [[Compy 386]], it reads:
<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">Kickin' Recipes For 
Duck A L'Orange 
 
- 1 orange duck 
- 2 oranges 
- 3 frenchies 
- 4 ovens 
- 5 heats 
- 6 coupons 
 
Go to Captain D's 
Order the Snow C 
Tell your friends 
really Duck A L' 
It'll work!</blockquote>

===Remarks===
*This is another case of [[Compy 386]] acquiring a mouse cursor, despite the fact that it does not have a mouse and no cursor is normally seen. There is the possibility that the cursor is being manipulated through the right-hand numeric keypad.
*The Brontosaurus has actually been renamed [[Wikipedia:Apatosaurus|Apatosaurus]].

===Goofs===
*The MS Paint drawing of a Brontosaurus eating breakfast is not affected by the contrast buttons. However, the screen behind it is.
*When Strong Bad angrily throws the mirror at the ground, Bubs' reflection can still be seen in the mirror, but with no body.

===Inside References===
*The author of the email seems to be referring to the lunch specials at the end of [[no loafing]].
*The [[Cold One]] that The Cheat is lounging with in the Easter egg is a Coldson Lite, first seen in [[labor day]].
*When The Cheat is lounging, he has the same expression on his face and is in the same position he had in [[privileges]].
*This e-mail marks the second time The Cheat has been mistaken for a bird of some kind, the other being in [[helium]], in which Homestar identified the floating, helium-filled The Cheat as "an ugly bird."

===Real-World References===
*The "Larry, legend" Easter egg refers to [[Wikipedia:Larry Bird|Larry Bird]], a former player for the [[Wikipedia:Boston Celtics|Boston Celtics]]. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest [[Wikipedia:NBA|NBA]] players ever and is often referred to as "Larry Legend" by his fans.
*Getting Bubs to say his name backwards (minus the first 'B') sounds like a spoof of [[Wikipedia:Mr. Mxyzptlk|Mr. Mxyzptlk]], a mischief-making villain from the Superman comics. In order to get the reality-warping imp to go back to his home dimension, Superman had to trick Mxyzptlk into saying his name backwards.
*In the background when The Cheat is lounging, you hear [[The Brothers Chaps]]' version of "[[Wikipedia:Music_of_Hawaii#Late_19th_and_early_20th_century|Aloha Oe]]," a popular Hawaiian tune.
*The [[Wikipedia:walkie-talkie|walkie-talkies]] used by Strong Bad and The Cheat are World War 2 portable radios.
*[[Wikipedia:Captain D's|Captain D's]] is a chain of fast-food stores that sells seafood.

*The word "sbu" shows up in Strong Bad's list of 3-letter words in [[boring (really)#Fun Facts|boring (really)]].

'''MATT:''' All right, guys.

'''RYAN:''' I think we're ready.

'''MATT:''' um, what do you guys think of this preposition—

'''MIKE:''' Matt and I made this email, guys. Matt and I made this cartoon. What do you think?

'''RYAN:''' I think you guys are...you got something.

''{Mike laughs}''

'''RYAN:''' I'm not afraid to say that you guys are very good.

''{Mike laughs again}''

'''RYAN:''' Keep on "keepin' on". Keep on.

'''MIKE:''' Keepin' on? Keep on.

'''RYAN:''' That was a ''Family Ties'' slogan.

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''RYAN:''' They had like—

'''MIKE:''' Really? Nice.

'''RYAN:''' ''Nick At Night'' showed a bunch in a row.

'''MIKE:''' Oh.

'''RYAN:''' And all the commericals are "keep on keepin' on"

''{Mike and Matt laugh}''

'''MATT:''' That's a good one.

'''MIKE:''' I was gonna be impressed if they had done that back in 1987 or something.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Oh it was on retro stuff or retrothon like that.

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Oh so super Chinese—

'''MIKE:''' super Chinese fish buffalo rice is pretty much....There was a place by the Braves' Stadium that we were driving by one time. And there are several restaurants around Atlanta that are—

'''MATT:''' It's a trend, I think, in all metro areas.

'''MIKE:''' —like buffalo wings. Chinese food and—

'''MATT:''' there's one that was called "Philly", "Philly...", "Philly...wing", "Philly wing rice". "Philly wing fish" I think, and underneath it said it says "Chinese food".

''{Mike laughs}''

'''MATT:''' So, yeah, we were missing "Philly cheese steaks" because that seems to be...that seems to be a part. It's just wings, chinese food, philly cheese steaks, fish, fried fish, rice.

'''MIKE:''' Sign me up—

'''RYAN:''' Fried chicken.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Sign me up.

'''MATT:''' I'm in.

'''RYAN:''' What's not to trust about it?

'''MATT:''' That sounds good. Gravy?

'''RYAN:''' Cod plank platter—

'''MATT:''' Let's go for lunch today, guys. We haven't had lunch today yet. Let's go get a cod plank platter

'''MATT:''' ''{different voice}'' Back to Red Lobster, boys.

''{Everyone laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Red Lobster Friday!

'''RYAN:''' Uh—

'''MATT:''' Uh, so were you gonna comment on how great that uh, hose thing towards the camera was, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Yes.

'''RYAN:''' I like it.

'''MIKE:''' I was gonna wonder about how long you spent—

'''MATT:''' Probably two to three hours while you finished the rest of the email—

'''RYAN:''' Yeah, this is the point of contention that whenever Matt leaves the room, Mike always complains about how, how detailed the animations are.

'''MIKE:''' It's good—

'''MATT:''' We're trying to finish. It's three in the morning. Isn't that good?

'''MIKE:''' It is good.

'''RYAN:''' Quality artwork.

'''MIKE:''' It's good ''now''.

'''RYAN:''' yeah. It's not good—

'''MIKE:''' At four in the morning on Sunday. I'd rather you make a really crappy—looking hose. ''{laughs}''. Oh, by the way, this one— it's not gonna be on the commentary, but the easter egg on this one where it shows the cheat floating inside—

'''MATT:''' Uh huh.

'''MIKE:''' right, Bubs Concession Stand on the inner tube. That is, by far, my favorite easter egg or just scene that still just looks like— nice ripples.

'''MATT:''' It's your fine—

'''MIKE:''' It's so relaxing.

'''MATT:''' It's your finest moment. It's almost as relaxing as, yeah, as—

'''MATT AND MIKE:''' Taking a break.

'''MIKE:''' Awww, that makes me depressed for Strong Bad.

'''MIKE:''' ''{quickly}'' and me.

'''RYAN:''' And me?

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' We still going here? ''{cough}''

'''MATT:''' This is that one where we've got this whole part where it's Stlong Mad—

'''MIKE:''' The Uh...

'''RYAN:''' Great MS Paint drawing.

'''MIKE:''' —Dinosaur. I wanted to keep doing this, like have, you know, weekly or semi—weekly feature of Strong Mad's bad MS Paint drawings.

'''RYAN:''' You got a lot of images we could put on there. Isn't that on the DVD, where there was extra emails? This is from that.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, here it is. Here's 102B. ''{laugh}'' Look at that thing! That thing's amazing.

'''RYAN:''' People have their own versions of that drawing.

'''MATT AND MIKE:''' Really?

'''RYAN:''' Uh huh.

'''MIKE:''' People still use MS Paint.

'''RYAN:''' A lot.

'''MATT:''' and see this is even more depressing. Strong Bad starts hitting on that MS Paint Brontosaurous

'''MIKE:''' Good lookin'

'''MATT:''' A low point for Strong Bad—

'''MATT:''' So he runs off.

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

Ever noticed a little red exclamation point next to an edit listed on the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] page? Did you know you can remove those exclamation points by patrolling edits? The idea is that having a group of people patrolling edits should reduce spam and vandalism.

To mark an '''edit''' as patrolled, click the "diff" link next to an unpatrolled edit, survey the edit to be sure it isn't spam or vandalism, then click the "Mark as patrolled" link near the top right of the page.

It's a different process to mark a '''new page''' patrolled. Since there is no "diff" link, you instead click on the article name. The link to patrol says, "Mark this article as patrolled", and it appears at the bottom right corner of the article.

If you'd like to help out in the effort of patrolling recent changes, put your name on the list below. Adding your name to the list constitutes a commitment of time to patrolling. This page will serve as a hub for patrollers to get in contact with one another. Feel free to list any questionable edits at the bottom of this page to call them to the attention of other patrollers. For an example of how this page might serve our community, see the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:RC patrol|Recent changes patrol]] on Wikipedia.

:''This article is about the [[Characters|character]]. For information on the Homestar Runner Flash cartoon, see [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)]].''

== Homestar's Shirt ==

His shirt seems to most resemble a red skirt with a white star on it. The star can be removed, but Homestar wears it as a mark of pride. Other than his propeller cap, it appears to be his only piece of clothing, as his [[Homestar's Pants|pants]] are a mystery. He also wore a gray version of the shirt (still with a star) in [[impression]] while doing a bad imitation of [[Strong Sad]].

In the original script for [[flashback]], Strong Bad wore a similar shirt until Marzipan gave one to Homestar (to replace his Duckie Shirt). After this point, Strong Bad would have ripped off his shirt, explaining why he never wore one to this day.

A real-life version of the shirt is available for purchase in the [[Store]].

*Homestar's eyes are quite strange. There are many theories about how they work:
**Sometimes they seem to move around his head. Most of the time they're like a flounder's eyes, but they switch sides of his face whenever he turns. In the [[Old Intro 2]], you can sort of see Homestar's eyes moving as the camera circles around him. Also, in [[Theme Song Video]], the currently absent toon [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (toon)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]], the old version of [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD|In Search of the Yello Dello]] and the [[Homestar Runner and Strong Bad Screensaver|Homestar Screensaver]], you can see his face from the front, which further lends credence to this theory.

*His puppet and his two figurines, on the other hand, have eyes stuck on one side of his head. Occasionally you can get a peek at the other side of Puppet Homestar's face, which looks pretty creepy without any eyes.
**[[The Brothers Chaps]] actually made the eyes out of felt, so that they can be switched if necessary.

''{'''Page Title:''' Homerun Hitter!}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, hello. Greetings, one and everyone. Welcome to me... Homestar! ...Runner! Homestar Runner. Um... what else? I pretty much run the show around here. I date the only girl, I have the only propeller cap. ''{propeller cap twirls}'' And can run, and jump, and kick the fastest, highest and like nobody's business. If I had to pick one word to describe myself, it would probably be... Fluffy Puff Marshmallows. Or Homestar. Either one, really. They both fit.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{offscreen}'' Don't forget doofus/moron/um...[[Wikipedia:Lionel Richie|Lionel Richie]]. ''{The last word Strong Bad says is selected at random}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Yeah, that too. That's another good one. In closing, I look good in red. Check it out. ''{turns around, sings while shaking his rear}'' Buttdance, buttda-a-ance!

'''Strong Bad Email #100'''

In the long-anticipated 100th email, Jon from NH asks Strong Bad how long he has known Homestar Runner. The answer is too big to be shown in anything but...WIDESCREEEEEEEEEEEEN!

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Coach Z}}, [[The Prince of Town]], {{Film|Strong Mad}}, {{Film|Pom Pom}}, {{Film|Bubs}}, {{Film|Strong Sad}}, {{Film|Marzipan}}, [[Mr. Bland]], {{Film|Señor}}, {{Film|The Cheat}}, {{Film|Limozeen}} (Easter egg), {{Film|Senor Cardgage}} (Easter egg), {{Film|Old-Timey Strong Bad}} (Easter egg)

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[The Moon]], [[Places Strong Bad Made Up#The Sweet Sweet Rainbow Bridge|The Sweet Sweet Rainbow Bridge]], [[The Field]], [[Marzipan's House]] (Easter egg), [[Telegraph Room]] (Easter egg)

'''Computer:''' [[Compy 386]]

'''Date:''' March 16, 2004

'''Running Time:''' 5:00

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD''': ONE TWO THREE FOUR ''{starts singing hard rock with instruments in the background, and the following words appear as they are said:}'' EMAIL IS AWESOME ''{"AWESOME"}'', EMAIL IS WEIRD ''{"WEIRD"}'', EMAIL IS AWESOME ''{"AWESOME"}'' AND EMAIL IS WEIRD ''{"WEIRD"}''! And I'll never forget the way it was, GRRRL ''{"grrrl"}''...uh!

''{Starts reading in his old accent. However, the text is in the style of Tandy, and it is in fact the [[some_kinda_robot|very first e-mail]] he's ever done.}''

<blockquote class="tandy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
Do you take your wrestling mask and boxing 
gloves off before you go to bed? 
 
Sincerely, 
Abdi LaRue 
San Diego, CA</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{He stops reading at "before you go to."}'' dajede...wait a minute! ''{hits Compy, the text fixes itself to be a new email}'' There we go!

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="email">Hey there, Strong Bad! 
I was wondering. How long have you 
known Homestar? Is there some sort of 
flashback that could describe how 
and when you guys met? 
Your Fan, 
Jon, NH</blockquote>

''{Instead of "New Hampshire," Strong Bad says "No Hamsters."}''

''{typing}'' Oh, I got flashbacks alright, Jon. I'm like, Discount Flashback Warehouse over here. But this particular flashback has way too much historical significance to be shown in anything but WIDESCREEEEEEEEEEEEN. Left side: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAH! ''{As he says this with a resonating noise, the left side of the screen expands out. The camera then cuts out to a wide shot. Strong Bad stops typing and turns to his right.}'' Right side: WOOOOOAHH—''{the right side of the screen starts to expand, then abruptly bounces out to its full extent, revealing Homestar.}'' Wha-uh, what are you doin' over there?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, I'm pretty much here every week. It's just that usually I'm behind the black.

'''STRONG BAD''': I guess I should start...lookin' to the right more often.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': In fact, I think I might live here.

'''STRONG BAD''': I don't think so. If you lived here, you'd have less non-broken bones. And more crushed spirits.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{leaning forward}'' Yes, sir.

'''STRONG BAD''': Frame shift left! WOOOOOAAHHH! ''{The screen starts shifting left to get Homestar out of the shot.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': See ya after the flashback!

''{We go to a picture of Strong Bad on the moon with a tennis racket. The drawing is in the style of the original children's book, though the characters have limited animation. Strong Bad narrates the story but doesn't read everything—text that he doesn't read is included in this transcript in parentheses. Also, character voices are imitated and are denoted in brackets.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{narrating}'' Strong Bad meets the Homestar Runner.

''{The page turns to a picture of just Strong Bad.}''

Everyone loves Strong Bad. He is an okay guy.

''{The page turns to a picture of Strong Bad and Coach Z playing tennis on the moon.}''

One day Strong Bad was finishing up a game of tennis on the moon with his pal, the Coach Z. He won 1,000,000 to 3. ''{Strong Bad}'' "You see, 3 is clearly a smaller number than a million," said Strong Bad. ''{Coach Z}'' "Ooooooh. Now I understand."

''{The page turns to Strong Bad and Coach Z flying down a rainbow from the moon to earth.}''

They flew on a sweet, sweet rainbow bridge back down to Free Country USA.

''{The page turns to Coach Z holding a towel and talking to Strong Bad.}''

''{Coach Z}'' "I'ma go shower up!" said the Coach Z. ''{Strong Bad}'' "Gross!" said Strong Bad. "Shut up!"

''{The page turns to see Strong Bad walking toward a giant pink egg with yellow spots.}''

Walking home, Strong Bad came upon a big ol' egg. "Waaaaaaaaagh!"

''{The page turns to a closer view of Strong Bad and the egg.}''

"I wonder what's inside," thought tiny-handed Strong Bad.

''{The page turns to see Homestar behind the egg wearing a yellow shirt with a duck on it.}''

''{Homestar}'' "Hello! How do you like my egg, Mr. Strong Bad?" said a voice from behind. ''{Strong Bad}'' "Who the crap are you, Duckshirt?" asked No-shirt. ''{Homestar}'' "I'm The Homestar Runner!" said the duckshirt. "Some folk say I'm a terrific athlete."

''{The page turns to a closer view of the scene.}''

''{Strong Bad}'' "Well I folk say you're a terrific liar!" ''(said Strong Bad.)'' "This is plainly my egg. ''{The Prince of Town}'' "What's all the commotion about?"

''{The page zooms out, showing the Prince of Town looking at Strong Bad and Homestar.}''

...said the svelt, young Prince of Town. "And who's this weirdo in the duckie shirt?" ''{Homestar}'' "I'm The Homestar Runner! Some folk say I'm a terrific ''(athlete!" said Duckshirt.)'' ''{Strong Bad}'' "Prancibald over here says this egg belongs to him, when I found it first."

''{Zoom in to a closeup of the Prince of Town.}''

''{The Prince of Town}'' "We'll settle this with a ten-step footrace."

''{The page turns to show a crowd of characters, including Mr. Bland and Señor from the original children's book. Everyone is watching Strong Bad and Homestar at the start line of a race.}''

And so they all gathered for a ten-step footrace. The slim and trim young Prince of Town explained the rules.

''{A piece of paper shows up reading: "Ten-step Footrace Official Rules. Rule One. Whoever goes the most distance in ten steps, will be the winner! Rule Two. No biting."}''

''{The Prince of Town}'' "Whoever goes the most distance in ten steps, will be the winner!"

''{The page turns to see Strong Bad and Homestar at the line and Marzipan giving the startoff.}''

''{Marzipan}'' "Ready-and-set-and-go-now." ''{they start running, with Homestar counting}'' ''{Homestar}'' "One, two, three, four, five, six..." ''{Strong Bad takes tiny steps and is way behind}'' ''{Strong Bad}'' "Keep up the pace. Gotta break 4:40"

''{The page turns to see silhouettes of everyone, and Homestar has reached the end.}''

''{Homestar}'' "Ten!"

''{The Prince of Town}'' "And the Duckie-man is the winner. Loser gets the egg."

''{The background music plays several confused notes, then the page turns to a closeup of Homestar, with Strong Bad and the egg in the background.}''

''{Homestar}'' "WHAAAAT??!!?&,:;%${}" ''{Strong Bad}'' "Hooray a-for me!!"

''{The page turns to show Strong Mad holding the egg over his head while Strong Bad watches.}''

And so Strong Mad helped to break open the egg. ''{Strong Mad tosses the egg}''

''{Turn the page to see the egg broke and a bunch of fishsticks pour out.}''

And out poured a lifetime supply of fishsticks. And a The Cheat!!!!

''{The Cheat springs out of the egg, then the page turns to a closeup of The Cheat. Turn the page again to see Strong Bad and The Cheat with the egg in the background.}''

''{Strong Bad}'' "Awesome! My very own a The Cheat!"

''{The page turns again, showing everyone hanging out by a boombox.}''

And so, The Cheat mashed play on an extremely expensive jambox with high-speed dubbing and everybody put their weight on it! ''{The Cheat plays a remix of the original intro music for H*R.com, and everyone dances.}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad sitting at the stool, talking to Homestar, who's sitting on the ground listening to the tale.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': So that's pretty much how it all went down, huh?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh, yes. Read me another one! Another one!

'''STRONG BAD''': Ohhhhh, very well. This one's called The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck In His Craw! ''{Strong Bad pulls out a children's book of the same name. Compy beeps and turns blue with the caption "Congratulations! You have answered 100 emails." and ASCII fireworks.}'' What the—whoah! Would ya look at that! 100 emails. I had no idea! I lost count around 51. Well, I suppose I should do something to celebrate... uh... ooh! I'll say email 100 times!

''{Strong Bad proceeds to say the word "email" 100 times. [[The Paper]] comes down partway through this.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{after saying the last "email"}'' Oo. I'm pa—I'm parched. ''{wheezes}'' I need a glass of water. ''{A glass of water appears onscreen.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The DVD commentary for this episode reveals several interesting facts—originally, it would have been animated in the normal style, and would have told a different story, until the Brothers Chaps decided to re-write it halfway through. Originally, story elements included Strong Bad wearing a star shirt, and Marzipan attempting to do something about Homestar's awful fashion sense (his [[Ducks|duckie]] shirt, and also in this version, a pair of sandals). She gets him a star shirt, and Strong Bad rips his own shirt off in protest, which is why nowadays, Strong Bad never wears a shirt.
*The email was assigned the URL of "http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemailahundred.html," breaking the convention of the previous ninety-nine. This was done because of [[Not the 100th Email!!!]].
*Strong Bad ''actually'' says the word "E-mail" exactly 100 times.
**The Paper comes down during "e-mails" #28 through #30.
**For #49 he distinctly says "e-MAIL-a."
**For #67 he quickly says "e-mail-mail-nahduhluh."
**For #72 he says "e-meh-meh-meh-meh-mail."
**"E-mails" #91 and #92 blend together so much that it sounds like "email—mail," but if it was just one "e-mail" then there would only be 99, so it has been accepted to be 2 separate "e-mails."
*This is the first time a character has mentioned [[Free Country, USA]].
*This email has the most Easter eggs in any email to date, with an amazing eight. It's second on the site total, tied with [[Halloween Fairstival]] and [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], to [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]]'s ten.
*Old-Timey Strong Bad appearing with half a mustache was inspired by a waiter [[The Brothers Chaps]] once encountered who sported the same odd facial hair style.

===Remarks===
*It is debatable whether the story in the book really "happened", since Strong Bad could be making it up. Homestar verifies the tale, but this may just be typical, dense Homestar behavior.
*More proof that Strong Bad's boxing gloves are his hands; the small boxing gloves are referred to as his tiny hands.
*Strong Bad couldn't have lost count at email 51 because in [[caffeine|Email #91]] the intro is "Coming in at number 91, it's, EMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIL." However it is possible that he could have said number 91 by coincidence.
*Also, he knew that it was the 100th email because he confronted users trying to find the email before it was finished in [[Not the 100th Email!!!]]
*During the ten-step footrace, Strong Bad made more than ten steps, although that wouldn't have affected the result of the race, for he would have lost/won the egg anyway.
*When the Compy said Strong Bad had answered 100 e-mails, that's not entirely true. He answered two in [[50 emails]], two more in [[2 emails]] (3 more if you count the email answered while the clip was in fast forward), and you could say he answered more than one in [[huttah!]] (although he didn't answer any in [[anything]] or [[mile]]). Depending on your definition of "answering" an email, he read extras in [[spring cleaning]] (although they were promptly deleted). If you count by each toon being an e-mail, then he still answered in excess of 103 e-mails, since the three bonus e-mails on the DVD are presumably pre-100th. In addition, there is a "preview email" in the [[Toons Menu]] and never before seen emails in [[personal favorites]]. So really, at the time of the hundredth e-mail, Strong Bad actually has answered more than 100 e-mails. The hundredth email was actually answered somewhere between Emails 83-94.
*Though the style of the artwork and the voice acting for most of the characters resembled closely that of the classic Homestar cartoons, Strong Bad, for some reason, sounds nothing like the real "old-school" Strong Bad in the flashback. Old Strong Bad's manner of speaking was very loud and dramatic (almost overacted), and he had a strong Mexican accent. "Old-school" Strong Bad in the flashback is just the opposite, speaking in a monotonic, mumbling fashion.
*When he reads the Tandy e-mail, his accent is more like it is in the old cartoons (most notably, he pronounces "you" as "joo" a few times).

===Goofs===
*Homestar knows Strong Bad's name, although he never told him.
*Strong Bad say "My very own a The Cheat", yet the text reads "My very own The Cheat".

===Glitches===
*When Strong Bad shifts the screen left, the carpet appears to slide to the right, moving without the stool and the table.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad first uses "grrl" (seen here as grrrl) in [[i she be]]. The word is also used in the [[Teen Girl Squad|Teen Girl Squad Menu]] and [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]].
*Present in the flashback are [[Mr. Bland]] and [[Señor]], who haven't been seen since [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (toon)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]].
*Old-style Marzipan, Strong Sad, and Strong Mad are from the [[Museum Sketchbook|concept sketches]].
*Old-style Coach Z and Bubs are from "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]."
*The Cheat also mashed play on a [[Ghetto Blastro|jambox]] in "[[Everybody Knows It]]."
*The TV in the Discount Flashback Warehouse egg is from an old H*R.com main menu.
*The two e-mails in the Discount Flashback Warehouse egg are [[different town]] and [[band names]].
*Senor Cardgage's use of the word "[[Combolations|combolations]]" is a reference to the ending credits in [[japanese cartoon]].
*In the Senor Cardgage easter egg, Strong Bad says "Man, so cool!" He said the same thing in [[kind of cool]] as well.

=== Real-World References ===
*The widescreen is 750×400 pixels, a perfect 1.85:1 [[Wikipedia:Aspect ratio (image)|aspect ratio]]. Normal toons are 550×400, or 1.375:1.
*The guitar Larry is holding in the Limozeen egg is the same guitar that Homestar Runner steals in [[Puppet Time]], a Hamer "Bat" spin-off of the more popular [[Wikipedia:Gibson Explorer|Gibson Explorer]] shape. The bass the other guy is holding is a [[Wikipedia:Fender|Fender]] Jazz-Bass.
**It may also be a [[Wikipedia:Jackson Kelly|Jackson KE3 Kelly]] model.
*The melty candy bar Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad/Senor Cardgage holds up near the end appears to be a [[Wikipedia:Zagnut|Zagnut bar]], which was also seen in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].
*"Put your weight on it!" was a famous line from the [[Wikipedia:Dolemite|Dolemite]] movie ''Disco Godfather.''

== DVD Version ==
*The Limozeen video is now in fullscreen and much higher quality.
**In addition, you can use your DVD player's angle Button while watching the Limozeen clip to change the clip's background image. There are three separate backgrounds in all.
*Due to it being widescreen, the characters in this email look a little stretched out from top to bottom, unless you are watching it on a widescreen TV. Computer monitors seem to have this problem as well.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''MATT:''' The guitar just fell on the floor.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Ooh, I like this, uh, part. The song—

'''MATT:''' Yeah, we should make a full song of that. And I'll never forget the way it was, Mike. I thought— I wanted it to be this sort of nostalgic punk rock song, you know, 'cause, what if we decided after doing a hundred we weren't going to make anymore Strong Bad Emails? So I wanted it to kinda be like that.

'''MIKE:''' We decided to do more.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' At least twelve more as of this commen— as of the time of this commentary.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. So Abdi LaRue, uh, was our first, uh, the first email.

'''MIKE:''' Mmm, that's true.

'''MATT:''' Was he just a fan that we tal— that just emailed a lot early— in the early days?

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Yeah. Yup.

'''MATT:''' Or— he or she, we don't really know— do we know the gender of Abdi LaRue? I always assumed it was a guy.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah...?

'''MATT:''' Abdi, if you—

'''MIKE:''' I don't know any other Abdis, so—

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' It's true. So this— we— a lot— a lot of gimmicks sort of in this one, visually. Uh, the widescreen thing...

'''MIKE:''' The song at the beginning. Cave Quest there—

'''MATT:''' ''{interrupting}'' That— That—

'''MIKE:''' Home— White character.

'''MATT:''' A game Mike and I made, Cave Quest.

'''MIKE:''' On the Apple II...

'''MATT:''' C+

'''MIKE:''' C++

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Low-res graphics text interface—

'''MIKE:''' He threw a spear, at this dinosaur—

'''MATT:''' He threw a rock at one, to knock the spear out of the little dinosaur's mouth.

'''MIKE:''' Ohhh. And it showed the animation of the rock falling against the, uh— across the screen.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' So this is done in the style of the original children's book, uh, that [[Craig Zobel]], and I— myself made in 1996. Um, so these were the original— That drawing of Coach Z was done, like a couple of years later.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I like that little, like, that little lip, the little flair on the "Z" that used to exist—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Because like— 'Cause he was originally going to have hair like that, didn't he?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah he had like—

'''MATT:''' On like some early drawings you did, where it has a little "Z" hair sort of.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I like the way he walks, there. It looks good, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks, man.

'''MATT:''' So this whole email, we got very far into this email and then completely rewrote it.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, if you watch the, um, Making of the Hundredth Email time-lapse which is on this DVD in the Bonus Features section—

'''MATT:''' Three disc set, Strong Bad Emails DVD!

'''MIKE:''' That's right. But anyway, if you watch, you can see me making graphics if you look closely of, like, Strong— of Homestar wearing sandals.

'''MATT:''' Yeah he's got the duckshirt on, but it's like regular graphics. It's—

'''MIKE:''' It's using the regular style, yeah. It's before we decided to do— and you can see, like, in the second day of the time-lapse, Matt's looking— like writing, and is pretty much rewriting the whole thing.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Um, there was lots of stuff about his duckshirt, like, originally, Marzipan gives him his star shirt.

'''MATT:''' Right. Er, we kinda overdid the origin of things.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Like, we were explaining—

'''MIKE:''' Because Strong Bad had a star shirt on, too, and he tore it off because he didn't want to wear one—

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' —because Homestar had one too—

'''MATT:''' And he had never put a shirt on since then.

'''MIKE:''' And that was why— And that was why Strong Bad never wore a shirt again.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' That's a good Marzipan mouth. ''{imitating Strong Bad}'' Augh!

'''MIKE:''' Do it, Strong Bad, do it!

'''MATT:''' Um...

'''MIKE:''' That little silhouette— The yellow silhouetted thing is a staple of the Dennis the Menace comics.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' That's right!

'''MIKE:''' Usually the third frame is the yellow silhouette.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' It's true.

'''MIKE:''' I love that.

'''MATT:''' And so in the Easter egg, the fishsticks do sort of explain why the King of Town is— is fat—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' —and got this lifestyle.

'''MIKE:''' Look at that old Bubs! Lookin' good!

'''MATT:''' That's of course, uh, on the left side is, uh, Mr. Bland—

'''MIKE:''' —doing cartwheels. Then on the right is Senor— Señor.

'''MATT:''' Señor Havin' A Little Trouble is his full name. Now Strong Mad is great. And Strong Sad too, is— got little stubs for arms. I like how this is like— Homestar's so excited. ''{Mike laughs}'' He's sat down and is like crowded around the campfire. We should make that.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. So, are we gonna do the commentary of him saying "email" a hundred times?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, we should talk over it anyway.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, what should we talk about? Maybe um...

'''MATT:''' Anything else about this email? This hundredth email? It was kind of a—

'''MIKE:''' It took three days to make—

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it was defin—

'''MIKE:''' Took a long time to make.

'''MATT:''' It's one of the longest ones. One of the biggest file size-wise.

'''MIKE:''' Um—

'''MATT:''' What did w— Oh, we had just met for the first time Jonathan Howe, the guy that programs all our games for us. We had just met him in person for the first time, and came down to visit, and then he left on... Monday morning? Or was it Sunday?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think Monday morning.

'''MATT:''' Oh, no no, he left Sunday morning and then we started working—

'''MIKE:''' This was Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, and we put it up on Tuesday night.

'''MATT:''' But we didn't decide to make the hundredth email, we had been kind of putting it off because we knew we had to make it a big deal. And so we didn't do it until, like, uh, we decided it that day, basically, right? On that Sunday, that we were like, "Ah, let's just do it," like we were going to do some other update or do— or try and put it off, and we just decided to pull the trigger on it or we'd always be putting it off.

'''MIKE:''' There. We're done.

''{Pause}''

'''MATT:''' Lemonade Stand.

*[[Wikipedia:Dennis the Menace (US)|Dennis the Menace]] is a long-running comic strip featuring the adventures of a mischievous young boy.
*[http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?id=2961 "Lemonade Stand"] probably refers to the [[Wikipedia:Apple II family|Apple II]] game, which featured a graphic similar to the glass of water.

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Everybody loves this, everybody needs this, it's time for funny stuff. ''{reading, in a Teen Girl Squad voice}'' Dear strong bad, you are the coolest... ''{Strong Bad stops reading and clears his throat.}'' Oh! Excuse me.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="email">Dear strong bad, 
you are the coolest, any way onto 
buisness. i think that you should 
make your own theme park. 
 
crapfully crap, 
Rafael FL.</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "buisness" just as it is spelled, says "(sigh) Sincerely yours" instead of "crapfully crap," and "football league" instead of "FL."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, Rafi, being the distinguished buisnessman ''{continues with the misspelling/pronunciation used earlier}'' that I am, I've had a theme park in development for quite some time now. Almost as long as I've been growin' this mustache.

''{A 10,000x magnification of Strong Bad's upper lip appears, showing a growth of one hair.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Anyways, it'd be called

''{Cut to view of a theme park by the Stop Sign and Cinder Block.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Strong Bad's Mount RIDESPLACE! USA

''{As this is said, the appropriate words flash on the screen above the view of the theme park.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And it will have more rides than you or your grandmother can handle.

''{As this is said, the words "More Rides Than You Or Your Grandmother Can Handle!*" appear along with a "*please do not bring your grandmother" disclaimer on the bottom.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Of course, our flagship rollercoaster would be

''{Cut to view of the rollercoaster, which is perfectly circular and spins continually without stopping. The Trogdor arcade game music is playing in the background}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Bowels of Trogdor!! ''{Pan out to see that The King of Town is riding the rollercoaster and screaming.}'' Which would like whip you around and around until you either throw up or catch fire somehow. ''{The King of Town catches fire somehow.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Hooieooieooieooieooieooieooieooie!

''{Cut to Strong Bad and The Cheat and the entrance to the ride. A Trogdor sign is there that says "Peasants must be as tall as my beefy arm to ride this ride." The Cheat is clearly not tall enough.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sorry, little guy, (''The Cheat starts to stand on tip-toes.'')I can't do nothing for you. ''{The Cheat puts on a top hat and starts to stand on tip-toes again.}'' Maybe you better head over to Sweet Cuppin' Cakes Land instead.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{He makes a thoroughly disappointed noise.}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad standing on a stage.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And every hour, at the main stage, there'd be a performance of The Strong Sad Gets Decked Repeatedly Stunt Spook-tacular.

''{A banner lowers behind Strong Sad that says "The Strong Sad Gets Decked Repeatedly Stunt SPOOK-tacular!!" Strong Sad is wearing a witch's hat standing patiently. Strong Mad comes from stage right to flying tackle Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' MAUHHH!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh!

''{Strong Sad climbs back up on the stage again standing patiently. Strong Mad comes from stage left this time to flying tackle Strong Sad again.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' MAUHHH!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh!

''{Cut to Strong Bad behind a table with a layout of the theme park on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' To make sure you don't have any money left when you leave, ''{The words "not to scale" appear with an arrow pointing at the layout.}'' there'd be more games than you or your grand'''father''' could handle.

''{Cut to Bubs working the "Throw Game."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You know, the ones where you throw hoops or rings or baseballs at different stuff and try to win cheap generic stuffed animal versions of ten-year-old cartoons.

''{During this voice over, Pom Pom plays the "Throw Game" while Bubs looks on. Pom Pom successfully gets all three rings that he tosses around the "[[Cold One|Xtra Cold One]]" bottle. Strong Bad's arm appears, holding up a cheap stuffed animal.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Like this Bubs with a horn.

'''BUBS:''' No, no, no. You gotta get those rings ''inside'' the bottle.

'''POM POM:''' ''{He makes aggravated bubble noises.}''

''{Pom Pom picks up a baseball and throws it at the bottle in frustration. Cut back to Strong Bad behind the layout of the park.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No theme park would be complete without a bunch of costumed mascots running around antic-ing... ''{scratches head}'' antique-ing... Whatever.

''{Cut to view of an area behind some fencing. The King of Town still rides "The Bowels of Trogdor!!" in the distance.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''(''distant'')'' Hooieooieooieooie!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You know, there'd be one of the Stop Sign,

''{Coach Z appears wearing a costume that has a cartoonish looking Stop Sign design}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' call him "Stoppy, Stoppy the sign" and then there'd be the tire...

''{Homestar appears wearing a costume that has a very cartoonish-looking Tire design.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' call him "Poppy the tire"... And who could forget "General Tso's Chicken"?

''{A carton of what could only be General Tso's Chicken falls from the sky. It has "Ryan S." written on the side. Homsar's feet appear beneath it.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Hey, Stoppy, is your suit chafing you like crazy?

'''COACH Z:''' Well, to tell ya da truth dere Poppy, I've always enjoyed a good chafe.

'''HOMSAR:''' AaAaAaAaA! It's time for tasteball.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, crap! It's tasteball already?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But yeah, it's a pretty unrealistic vision. I'm gonna have to start robbing WAY more hot actresses if I ever hope to make that dream a reality. But for now, I'll settle for giving tours on The Strong Badian Riverquest Safariventure.

''{He gets up. Cut to Strong Bad standing in a box in Strongbadia. He holds some sort of microphone.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Strong Bad makes a microphone click noise and speaks in a theme park tour guide-styled monotone voice}'' Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen my name is Strong Bad and welcome to The Strong Badian Riverquest Safariventure. ''{Strong Bad makes a click noise again.}''

''{Cut to wide view of Strong Bad standing in a box labeled "riverquest safariventure." Homestar sits in front of him in the box. To the left is a running hose. The water from the hose forms a puddle around the box.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{click}'' Please keep your arms legs and valuables inside the vehicle at all times and get ready to experience the fury of: The Strong Badian Riverboat Superfun...ride. ''{click}''

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. About five seconds later, it zooms in on Strong Bad and Homestar and the tour continues.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{click}'' And first up on our tour if you look to your right ''{Homestar looks to his right}'' experience the fury of: ''{cut to wider view}'' a big rock is going to fall on uuuus. ''{An obviously fake rock pops up behind the fence, mounted on a stick.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Ooooh. ''{The rock goes back down behind the fence.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That was a close call, I hope everyone is okaaaay.

'''HOMESTAR:''' I'm not OK—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up. ''{click}''

''{Cut to closeup of Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{click}'' And if you look up the river here comes another one of our tour guides his name is The Cheat ''{Cut to wide view again. The Cheat walks by in his own box, which is labeled "R.Q. 2".}'' everybody say "Hi, The Cheeeeat."

'''HOMESTAR:''' Hide and seeeeek.

''{Some drum sounds can be heard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{click}'' Oh, what's that I hear is it the sound of island drums? Oh no, it's headhunteeerrrs. ''{The cardboard cutout of a bear holding a shark, posing as a "headhunter," pops up from behind the fence.}'' ''{click}'' Everyone stay in the boat, I'll take care of thiiis. ''{click}''

''{Strong Bad pulls out a flare gun, and turns his head away as he fires up into the air twice. The cutout goes back down behind the fence.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{click}'' Looks like we scared those headhunters. Let's hope they don't come baaack. ''{click}''

''{Cut to closeup of Strong Bad again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{click}'' Well folks we've made it back safely did everyone have a good time?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Not really.

''{Strong Bad continues to talk while Homestar answers.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Goooood. Please leave your valuables under your seat and exit to your riiiight. ''{click}''

''{Cut to wide view again.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' Strong Bad, I gotta level with ya. That might have been the worst three thousand dollars I ever spent.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down again. After another pause, Strong Bad speaks again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{click}'' Don't forget to experience the fury of: our gift shooop. ''{click}''

== Easter Eggs ==

* Click on "buisness" after Strong Bad says it in the first part of the email to see a picture of The Ugly One and Cheerleader.
** '''CHEERLEADER:''' ''{Her shirt reads "kiss boys."}'' The Ugly One, why you always gotta be all up in my bweez-NASS? ''{Cheerleader looks angry as The Ugly One looks sad.}''

* Click on "Rafi" to see a mock NFL patch.

* Click on "Mount" in "Mount Ridesplace USA" after Strong Bad says "USA" to see [[Monkey D]]'s season pass.
<pre>Strong Bad's Mount Ridesplace USA
Season Pass
Name: Monkey D
Has: Fun
Valid thru 9/04
(signed) Monkey D</pre>

* Click on the next to last Bubs doll on the lower row, left side in the "Throw Game" stand to see a real Bubs plushie, [[Shark-Tooth Bubs]].

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The paper on Strong Bad's desk is labeled "plans for stuff."
*The box in the throw game appears to be labeled "BOX FOR THROW GAME," in all capital letters.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad pushes his thumb far out of his boxing glove when he sends the Cheat to Sweet Cuppin' Cakes land. This wouldn't usually be possible with a real boxing glove.
**He does this in [[ghosts]] as well.
*In the email "[[2 years]]," it is implied that the Stop Sign is female, yet in this email, "Stoppy" is referred to with male pronouns. Of course, this may have been due to a lack of any female workers willing to play the part of Stoppy.
*This is the first email where [[The Paper]] has come down twice.
*Strong Bad does not mention "e-mail" in his song at the begining.

===Goofs===
*When Pom Pom hits the bottle with the ball, a crashing sound is heard yet it doesn't break. Also, the crashing sound is played right after Pom Pom throws the ball, but before it reaches the bottle.
*At the end of the Strong Bad's Riverquest Safariventure, the [[Stop Sign|stop sign]] is not there. It disappeared sometime between the pause the first time the paper came down, and the fake boulder.

===Glitches===
*When the Strong Bad Riverquest Safariventure is over, the water stops flowing from the hose.

===Inside References===
*The "headhunter" is the bear holding a shark cardboard figure from [[date]].
*Pom Pom throws rings around an "Xtra Cold One," first seen in [[Cheat Commandos (toon)|Cheat Commandos]].
*The music played during Strong Sad's "Stunt Spooktacular" is the same music that was used in both [[Homestarloween Party]] and [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]].
*The music that plays when Strong Bad is describing the "Bowels of Trogdor" rollercoaster is from the game [[TROGDOR!]].
*"Ryan S." on the box of General Tso's chicken is a reference to [[Ryan Sterritt]], a friend of [[The Brothers Chaps]], who helps them with the website and the [[strongbad_email.exe]] DVD.
*This is another reference to Homestar's [[Best/Worst_X_bucks_I_ever_spent|best/worst money spent]].

===Real-World References===
*The Strong Badian Riverquest Safariventure is reminiscent of the [[Wikipedia:Jungle Cruise|Jungle Cruise]] found in [[Wikipedia:Walt_Disney_Parks_and_Resorts|Disney theme parks]]. Strong Bad does not breathe or show any expression and this monotone delivery is reminiscent of Jungle Cruise tour guides who give the same tour over and over again. The shooting of a warning shot (in this case a starter's pistol) to scare off the [[Bear-Shark|bear and shark]] "headhunters" is directly from the tour guide script. Most of Strong Bad's speech correlates to the tour.
*Poppy the Tire looks very similar to [http://www.bcdb.com/bcdb/cartoon.cgi?film=14550&m=s Peter Puck], a cartoon hockey puck from a 1973 Hanna-Barbera Cartoon.

==DVD Version==
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MIKE:''' ''{singing}'' Theme paaaaark!

'''MATT:''' That's a good one.

'''MIKE:''' That's my theme park... theme song.

'''MATT:''' I like that. Oh, Mike, Strong Bad's talking in the wrong voice.

'''MIKE:''' He's talking like one of the Teen Girl Squads.

'''MATT:''' Which one do you think it was?

'''MIKE:''' The original Teen Girl Squad. Uh, I think that was... So and So? Yeah? Nah, it was either The Ug... I think it was The Ugly One. All right, let's talk about something else.

'''MATT:''' Okay. I like "buisness."

'''MIKE:''' Buisness. Didn't we record, um, 'cuz there's a little Easter egg with him saying "Why you're all up on my buisness."

'''MATT:''' Oh, yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Teen Girl Squad.

'''MATT:''' We never put it out. We were gonna make it the Quote of the— Let's do that this week, make it the Quote of the Week.

'''MIKE:''' Maybe, it'll seem like we're talking about something really old when they hear this on the DVD.

'''MATT:''' Perhaps.

'''MIKE:''' But we're ''really'' talking about the future.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' So, at least, I feel like we should start over on this commentary already.

'''MIKE:''' That's... let's keep going.

'''MATT:''' All right.

'''MIKE:''' Let's plug on through.

'''MATT:''' We'll give it a shot.

''{Pause until Strong Bad mentions "Sweet Cuppin' Cakes Land"}''

'''MATT:''' I'd like to see what Sweet Cuppin' Cakes Land looks like.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think maybe originally that was gonna be in the email; I think we talked about showing, you know, like the teacups that were the spinning-around teacups that were Eh! Steves or something.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. But then the email would be nine minutes long.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it was really long already. So, back in the background there is a Shark-Tooth Bubs, um, which is a real plush, plush doll that a factory in China made for us. It was a prototype. They misinterpreted Bubs's eyes and teeth, and... pretty much everything!

'''MATT:''' As his fangs.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' His fangs.

'''MATT:''' And a horn.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I like that the box there, that he just that knocked over on, says "Box for Throw Game" stenciled on the side of it. It's mass-produced somewhere and shipped to Mt. Ridesplace... for that sole purpose. ''{lets Coach Z as Stoppy appear}'' Stoppy has some things in his cheeks, maybe.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, he's got some nuts, maybe he's saving up acorns for the winter.

'''MATT:''' ''{at Homsar as General Tso's Chicken}'' Now ''that's'' a reference to our friend Ryan Sterritt, who has authored this very DVD you're watching.

'''MIKE:''' He's sitting in the room right next to us. Unbeknownst to him, we're talking about him.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, let's go in... let's throw stuff at him next time we see him.

'''MIKE:''' We should. I like to throw stuff at Ryan.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' What should we talk about on this part?

'''MIKE:''' Oh, this is a good... this is, this is my favorite part.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, we... this should have been two emails, I feel like.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, 'cuz it was done up to this point, and then there's another ten minutes.

'''MATT:''' So there's a particular visit, uh, to Busch Gardens I took, and I believe there's a roller-coaster called The Scorpion, where— that I'm basing this, I mean, definitely, it's obviously based on...

'''MIKE:''' No! You can't say it!

'''MATT:''' What?

'''MIKE:''' Sorry. I was just saying that my name was ''{indecipherable}'' and that I was The Scorpion... Sorry.

'''MATT:''' Does this keep going? Yeah, we can keep talking.

'''MIKE:''' Is this a waiting egg?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it's just gonna start playing again I think, isn't it? ''{The email continues after The Paper comes down}'' Yeah, see?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, okay, I couldn't remember how it worked on the DVD...

'''MATT:''' You just wait.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, okay.

'''MATT:''' ''{of the fake rock}'' I like, uh, the damage, obviously, when I see that.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it's fiberglass.

'''MATT:''' Mm-hmm. Chicken wire. Uh, anyways, uh I went... Mike and I went...

'''MIKE:''' Oh, yeah, you were at Busch Gardens!

'''MATT:''' Yeah! And I just remember that guy being particularly unenthusiastic about us experiencing the fury of The Scorpion. ''{Mike laughs}'' It was wonderfully scripted.

'''MIKE:''' So was it just a roller coaster, or was that a ride...

'''MATT:''' No, it was just a roller coaster.

'''MATT:''' And so they have the the guy just before it starts... 
'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Okay, yeah, at the beginning, right.

'''MATT:''' You see, we were just talking over each other again.

'''MIKE:''' We can talk at the same time.

'''MATT:''' I know, but it's probably hard for people to understand what we're saying.  Go! Go! I take! I take! Hi Lois! Raise your arms watching these, exit to your right, please! They did that at Six Flags all the time, I remember.

'''MIKE:''' Six Flags over Georgia, that is.

''{The Paper comes down in the email for the second time.}''

'''MATT:''' Wait for it, wait for it...

'''MIKE:''' Is it still going?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, hang on! ''{pause for the end}'' Now it's done.

===Fun Facts===
*The Scorpion is a small steel roller coaster found at [[Wikipedia:Busch Gardens Tampa Bay|Busch Gardens Tampa Bay]].
*[[Wikipedia:Six Flags Over Georgia|Six Flags Over Georgia]] is a [[Wikipedia:Six Flags|Six Flags]] theme park found near [[Wikipedia:Atlanta, Georgia|Atlanta]].

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Drape it over your aaaaaaarms, step out in styyyyyle, Strong Bad Emaaaaaaail... ''{starts reading}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: records</div>
dear strong bad, 
i was wondering if you were in the record book. if so, 
what for? 
nathan, tx</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "tx" as "Tee-Ex" (that is, as the individual letters).}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oooh, the Nathan TX! That has, like, way four more cylinders than the standard Nathan. Better Blue Book value, too. I can't remember if I'm in the record book or not. Seems like I should be. Let's take a look. A book-look! ''{pronounced like "buuk luke"}''

''{Cut to a table. Strong Bad places "THE RECORD BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS The Book!" on the table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, let's see what we got in here.

''{He opens the book to page 42. The page shows a picture of a really dirty Coach Z with an afro and moustache, and reads "Chapter 4 - Records of Smell, Longest Showerless Streak 65 Days, 3 Hours, 42 Minutes: COACH Z."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sixty-five days?! That's ''way'' outdated! I'm pretty sure he's surpassed that one by several fortnights at this point.

''{Turns to page 116. This page shows young Strong Bad in a diaper and reads "Chapter 4 - Records of Smell, Dirtiest Diapey, Very, Very Dirty: LIL' STRONG BAD."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dirtiest Diape— Whoa! ''{throws coffee, eggs and bacon on the page and makes coughing noises}'' Coffee, eggs, bacon! Oh, too bad, I accidentally made breakfast all over whatever that record was for.

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Clearly, this book is in serious need of an update. Let's begin with the title. How about: Count Longardeaux's Book of Party Tricks, Redneck Jokes, and Worldly Records. ''{The book appears}'' Now ''that'' sounds like a book worthy of every toilet-side magazine basket. Now let's go see about updating some o' them records.

''{He gets up. We now see Strong Sad, holding a magnifying glass and humming softly, writing on a grain of rice. His face is magnified. Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 'Sup, double-bottom? How much you weigh?

'''STRONG SAD:''' What do you wanna know that for?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Count Longardeaux has me out gathering new records ''{holds up a clipboard, which has a paper on it that reads "who the fattest?"}'' for his record book.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh! Well then ''this'' should interest you! I've transcribed ''Paradise Lost'' onto this single grain of basmati rice! ''{Cut to a view of the rice grain through the magnifying glass.}'' In four languages!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yeah! That ''definitely'' deserves a record!

''{A buzzer is heard and a page of the book is shown. It reads "Chapter 7 - Records of Loneliness, Biggest Waste of Dump: Strong "The Biggest Waste of Dump" Sad." The picture shows Strong Sad looking through his magnifying glass at the camera.}''

''{Cut to the King of Town's castle. The King of Town is seen with a giant pile of salt in front of him. Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, King o' Town, I need some disgusting eating records. Why don't you just, uh, have lunch, and I'm sure you'll set several without even trying.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ooh! I like eating lunch! Today I'm having a giant pile of salt!

''{The camera pans over, and we can now see the entire pile. We can also see a salt shaker labeled with the number "7" sitting near the pile.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Vwoooooooooooooooooo-foop!

''{The King sucks it all in in one gulp, like a vacuum cleaner, including the salt shaker.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Nice woik!

''{The King seems to hiccup three times.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What, you got-a some hiccups?

''{The King "hiccups" again.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Nope. Those, my friend, are heart attacks!

''{Another buzzer, another page that reads "Chapter 3 - Disgusting Eating/Old Person Records, Least Healthiest (Man?): The King of Town." The King "hiccups" again.}''

''{Cut to Homestar Runner in The Field on his soapbox, which now reads "THIRTEEN, Y'ALL."}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What do you call a redneck, with no teeth, that watches stock car racing all day? Ba-ha-ha-haaa! Man, they do not wear shirts!

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Coach Z, also in The Field.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, Coach Z, what kind of wonderment do you have in store for us? That's not shower-related?

'''COACH Z:''' Well, I'm gonna set the world record for puttin' nine pieces ''{starts putting chewed gum on his face}'' of chewed gum up on my face and singin' the "I'm Just Me" song and hoppin' around on one foot! ''{He starts hopping on one foot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Coach...

'''COACH Z:''' ''{singing}'' I'm just me! ''{Strong Bad shakes his head.}'' Can't you see? ''{Strong Bad starts hitting himself.}'' I'm just a silly little bumblebee!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, please stop! ''{Coach Z stops hopping and singing, but remains on one foot.}'' Look, you can't just make up some random crap that no one else will ever do and call that a "record." ''{Cut to Homsar, hopping on one foot with nine pieces of chewed gum on his face. Music starts.}'' Count Longardeaux would not stand for it!

'''HOMSAR:''' I'm just me! Can't you see? I'm just a silly little bumblebee!

''{Homestar pops up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What does a redneck man call a dead possum, lyin' in the middle of the road? Ba-ha-ha-haa! Probably sushi!

''{An unseen audience groans.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, I think we're just about done here. Strong Mad set the record ''{A page of the book that reads "Chapter 2 - Special Records, Most Macaronis Nailed To A Paper Towel Tube... By Strong Mad (Just One!): Strong Mad." The picture shows Strong Mad holding his tube. It has many holes in it and at the top is one macaroni nailed into it }'' for Most Macaronis Nailed To A Paper Towel Tube...By Strong Mad. ''{Another page, "Chapter 11 - Records of Smell/Track and Field, Pole Vault, 20 ft. 1.5 in.: Marzipan" appears. This one has no picture, and instead there is a black box that reads "Suprisingly, No Photo Available."}'' Marzipan set the World Record for the pole vault. And Bubs won Cutest Couple. ''{Yet another page, this one reading "Chapter 9 - Superlatives, Cutest Couple: Bubs" with a picture of Bubs (and no one else) trying to look cute.}'' Oh, wait, I forgot about me. I ''gots'' to get in this record book somehow. I'll get the record for...

''{Cut back to show The Cheat standing nearby.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! "Most rectangular mouth?!" My mouth can be round!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes The Cheat noises and puts his hands on his hips}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What a bunch of bull ''{making his mouth as round as possible}'' hOOOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOOOO—

''{A buzzer is heard, followed by a page appears that reads "Chapter 7 - Saying Words For A Long Time Records, Longest 'Bull Honkey', 13.4 Seconds: The Human Strong Bad." The picture shows Strong Bad in the same position he was just seen in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —nkey. Bull honkey.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. Instead of the normal Back button, Count Longardeaux's image has a speech bubble reading "Back" in its place.}''

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Nathan TX Easter Egg.PNG|thumb|The Nathan TX]]
*Near the beginning, click on "standard Nathan" to see a drawing of "Standard Nathan" (some generic man) on notebook paper.
**As the picture zooms in, it shows "the Nathan TX," which shows a weird smiling car in front of Standard Nathan. It is labelled "built-in smoke" (pointing to smoke from the tires), "3 front wheels" (pointing to its multiple front wheels), and "nathan" (pointing to Nathan).
*When the King of Town is eating the salt, click on the salt shaker to see a can of "Standard Nathan" Brand salt. (The link continues to work after the King has sucked up the shaker)
*While Homestar Runner is telling his second [[Wikipedia:redneck|redneck]] joke, click on Homsar in the background to see his record page. It reads "Chapter 81 - Awkwardnesses, The Semi-Annual Mustard Man Award Or Best Offer!: Homsar" and shows Homsar with the gum on his face and his hat over his eyes.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*The King of Town has a series of [[Wikipedia:heart attack|heart attacks]] after eating the pile of [[Wikipedia:Edible salt#Health effects|salt]] because it contains [[Wikipedia:sodium|sodium]], a chemical element linked to [[Wikipedia:Hypertension|high blood pressure]]. Persistent high blood pressure is a risk factor for heart attacks.

===Remarks===
*As of July 25, 2005, the [http://www.iaaf.org/statistics/records/gender=W/allrecords/discipline=PV/index.html women's world record] for [[Wikipedia:pole vault|pole vault]] was 16 ft, 5 in. That record was set on July 22, 2005. Marzipan's world record is just one-quarter inch short of the [http://www.iaaf.org/statistics/records/gender=M/allrecords/discipline=PV/index.html men's world record] of 20 ft, 1.75 in.
*Though Strong Bad's record says "13.4 seconds", he only says "Bull Honkey" for 10.8 seconds, counting both "Bull" and the silent pause before "key". Just the Hooo– part lasts for 8.1 seconds. However from the time he starts saying "Bull Honkey" to The Paper coming down is 13.4 seconds. The number is more likely to refer to the fact that this is email #134.
*When Strong Bad was turning to the "Dirtiest Diapey" record, it looked like he was turning two pages, but instead, he turned seventy-four pages. Also, the same chapter (Chapter 4 - Records of Smell) continues 74 pages further.


===Goofs===
*[[Count Longardeaux's Book]] apparently has two chapter sevens — one for "Records of Loneliness" and one for "Saying Words For A Long Time Records."

===Inside References===
*Coach Z was seen with an afro and mustache in [[stand-up]].
*The salt shaker the King of Town is seen eating from is also used in [[Meet Marshie]].
*"You got-a some hiccups?" is the same line Strong Bad used in [[Halloween Fairstival]] when The Cheat got the hiccups.
*The [[Soapbox]] Homestar stands on has been seen before in [[fingers]] and [[army]], with labels containing "eleven" and "twelve", respectively (in this email it contains "thirteen").
*The music played while Homsar hops on one foot is from his [[Homsar#Character Video Transcript|character video]].
*The buzzer that is played when the pages appear on the screen is that same one that's used for the [[DELETED]] screen.
*The groans heard when Homestar tells his second redneck joke are from [[Senorial Day]].

===Real-World References===
*"Blue Book" refers to the [[Wikipedia:Kelley Blue Book|Kelley Blue Book]], a resource book for people who want to buy or sell used cars. When discussing the price of a used car, people will often check the Blue Book for the car's value.
*''[[Wikipedia:Paradise Lost|Paradise Lost]]'' was an epic blank-verse poem written in 1667 by English poet [[Wikipedia:John Milton|John Milton]].
*The Standard Nathan Brand Salt container is drawn to resemble the Morton Salt container, manufactured by [http://www.mortonsalt.com/consumer/about_us/history/index.htm Morton International, Inc].
*"Nathan TX" refers to the nomenclature of some less-expensive cars, such as the [[wikipedia:Honda_Accord|Honda Accord]] or [[wikipedia:Mazda_Protege|Mazda Protege]]; often, there is a base model, and then a higher end model differentiated by the additional letters. Luxury editions will usually be differentiated by a series containing an "x', such as EX, LX, EXT etc. the 'T' is a turbo designation, (i.e. the [[wikipedia:Volkswagen_Jetta|Volkswagen Jetta]] 1.8T) evidenced by Strong Bad's comment of the TX having four more cylinders.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dirtiest Diape— Whoa! ''{throws coffee, eggs and bacon on the page and makes coughing noises}'' Coffee, eggs, bacon! Oh, too bad, I accidentally made breakfast all over whatever that record was for.

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Clearly, this book is in serious need of an update. Let's begin with the title. How about: Count Longardeaux's Book of Party Tricks, Redneck Jokes, and Worldly Records. ''{The book appears}'' Now ''that'' sounds like a book worthy of every toilet-side magazine basket. Now let's go see about updating some o' them records.

''{He gets up. We now see Strong Sad, holding a magnifying glass and humming softly, writing on a grain of rice. His face is magnified. Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 'Sup, double-bottom? How much you weigh?

'''STRONG SAD:''' What do you wanna know that for?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Count Longardeaux has me out gathering new records ''{holds up a clipboard, which has a paper on it that reads "who the fattest?"}'' for his record book.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh! Well then ''this'' should interest you! I've transcribed ''Paradise Lost'' onto this single grain of basmati rice! ''{Cut to a view of the rice grain through the magnifying glass.}'' In four languages!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yeah! That ''definitely'' deserves a record!

''{A buzzer is heard and a page of the book is shown. It reads "Chapter 7 - Records of Loneliness, Biggest Waste of Dump: Strong "The Biggest Waste of Dump" Sad." The picture shows Strong Sad looking through his magnifying glass at the camera.}''

''{Cut to the King of Town's castle. The King of Town is seen with a giant pile of salt in front of him. Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, King o' Town, I need some disgusting eating records. Why don't you just, uh, have lunch, and I'm sure you'll set several without even trying.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ooh! I like eating lunch! Today I'm having a giant pile of salt!

''{The camera pans over, and we can now see the entire pile. We can also see a salt shaker labeled with the number "7" sitting near the pile.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Vwoooooooooooooooooo-foop!

''{The King sucks it all in in one gulp, like a vacuum cleaner, including the salt shaker.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Nice woik!

''{The King seems to hiccup three times.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What, you got-a some hiccups?

''{The King "hiccups" again.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Nope. Those, my friend, are heart attacks!

''{Another buzzer, another page that reads "Chapter 3 - Disgusting Eating/Old Person Records, Least Healthiest (Man?): The King of Town." The King "hiccups" again.}''

''{Cut to Homestar Runner in The Field on his soapbox, which now reads "THIRTEEN, Y'ALL."}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What do you call a redneck, with no teeth, that watches stock car racing all day? Ba-ha-ha-haaa! Man, they do not wear shirts!

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Coach Z, also in The Field.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, Coach Z, what kind of wonderment do you have in store for us? That's not shower-related?

'''COACH Z:''' Well, I'm gonna set the world record for puttin' nine pieces ''{starts putting chewed gum on his face}'' of chewed gum up on my face and singin' the "I'm Just Me" song and hoppin' around on one foot! ''{He starts hopping on one foot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Coach...

'''COACH Z:''' ''{singing}'' I'm just me! ''{Strong Bad shakes his head.}'' Can't you see? ''{Strong Bad starts hitting himself.}'' I'm just a silly little bumblebee!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, please stop! ''{Coach Z stops hopping and singing, but remains on one foot.}'' Look, you can't just make up some random crap that no one else will ever do and call that a "record." ''{Cut to Homsar, hopping on one foot with nine pieces of chewed gum on his face. Music starts.}'' Count Longardeaux would not stand for it!

'''HOMSAR:''' I'm just me! Can't you see? I'm just a silly little bumblebee!

''{Homestar pops up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What does a redneck man call a dead possum, lyin' in the middle of the road? Ba-ha-ha-haa! Probably sushi!

''{An unseen audience groans.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, I think we're just about done here. Strong Mad set the record ''{A page of the book that reads "Chapter 2 - Special Records, Most Macaronis Nailed To A Paper Towel Tube... By Strong Mad (Just One!): Strong Mad." The picture shows Strong Mad holding his tube. It has many holes in it and at the top is one macaroni nailed into it }'' for Most Macaronis Nailed To A Paper Towel Tube...By Strong Mad.

I ''gots'' to get in this record book somehow. I'll get the record for...

''{Cut back to show The Cheat standing nearby.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{says something}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! "Most rectangular mouth?!" My mouth can be round!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{says something and puts his hands on his hips}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What a bunch of bull ''{making his mouth as round as possible}'' hOOOOOOOOoooooooOOOOOOOOOO—

''{A buzzer is heard, followed by a page appears that reads "Chapter 7 - Saying Words For A Long Time Records, Longest 'Bull Honkey', 13.4 Seconds: The Human Strong Bad." The picture shows Strong Bad in the same position he was just seen in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —nkey. Bull honkey.

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Nathan TX Easter Egg.PNG|thumb|The Nathan TX]]
*Near the beginning, click on "standard Nathan" to see a drawing of "Standard Nathan" (some generic man) on notebook paper.
**As the picture zooms in, it shows "the Nathan TX," which shows a weird smiling car in front of Standard Nathan. It is labelled "built-in smoke" (pointing to smoke from the tires), "3 front wheels" (pointing to its multiple front wheels), and "nathan" (pointing to Nathan).
*When the King of Town is eating the salt, click on the salt shaker to see a can of "Standard Nathan" Brand salt. (The link continues to work after the King has sucked up the shaker)
*While Homestar Runner is telling his second [[Wikipedia:redneck|redneck]] joke, click on Homsar in the background to see his record page. It reads "Chapter 81 - Awkwardnesses, The Semi-Annual Mustard Man Award Or Best Offer!: Homsar" and shows Homsar with the gum on his face and his hat over his eyes.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*The King of Town has a series of [[Wikipedia:heart attack|heart attacks]] after eating the pile of [[Wikipedia:Edible salt#Health effects|salt]] because it contains [[Wikipedia:sodium|sodium]], a chemical element linked to [[Wikipedia:Hypertension|high blood pressure]]. Persistent high blood pressure is a risk factor for heart attacks.

*Strong Sad was transcribing Paradise Lost on to a grain of rice. This is a very long poem.

===Remarks===
*As of July 25, 2005, the [http://www.iaaf.org/statistics/records/gender=W/allrecords/discipline=PV/index.html women's world record] for [[Wikipedia:pole vault|pole vault]] was 16 ft, 5 in. That record was set on July 22, 2005. Marzipan's world record is just one-quarter inch short of the [http://www.iaaf.org/statistics/records/gender=M/allrecords/discipline=PV/index.html men's world record] of 20 ft, 1.75 in.
*Though Strong Bad's record says "13.4 seconds", he only says "Bull Honkey" for 10.8 seconds, counting both "Bull" and the silent pause before "key". Just the Hooo– part lasts for 8.1 seconds. However from the time he starts saying "Bull Honkey" to The Paper coming down is 13.4 seconds. The number is more likely to refer to the fact that this is email #134.
*When Strong Bad was turning to the "Dirtiest Diapey" record, it looked like he was turning two pages, but instead, he turned seventy-four pages. Also, the same chapter (Chapter 4 - Records of Smell) continues 74 pages further.


===Goofs===
*[[Count Longardeaux's Book]] apparently has two chapter sevens — one for "Records of Loneliness" and one for "Saying Words For A Long Time Records."

Strong Bad is asked by Mark from England what he thinks of the English. It's a disaster in the making.

'''Running Time:''' 0:33

'''Page Title:''' The Lost Email!

== Transcript ==

'''Strong Bad:''' ''{singing}'' Do, du, dadada do, du, dadada do... ''{stops singing}''

<blockquote class="tandy email">Hi Strong Bad, 
 
I'm from England. What do you think of 
the English? 
 
Thank you, 
Mark</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, gee, Mark, if you're really from England shouldn't you have some kinda unneccessary vowel at the end of your name? ''{adds an "e" to the end of Mark's name}'' And what is this "Thank you"? Whatever happened to "Cheers" or "Cheerio" or "Nevermind the Bullocks"? ''{changes "Thank you" into these words as he says them}'' Call yourself "English". But anyways, what do I think of the English, huh? Oh, I'll ''tell'' you what I think of the ''English''!

''{A big red sign with white letters appears across the screen saying "BANNED IN THE UK." Cut to a picture of an issue of ''The Guardian'', which gives the following article about Strong Bad on the front page.}''

'''''Strong Bad Offends The Royals!'''''

''In this Monday's edition of U.S. based "Strong Bad Email," the title character, Strong Bad, an odd little bloke with a Mexican wrestling mask for a head and boxing gloves for hands made such comments that warranted the Queen to ban the edition from UK shores. Strong Bad has been charged with "verbal crimes against the crown" and the Strong Bad Email, now simply being called the infamous "sbemail22," has been removed from broadcast in both the UK and the States. At a press conference held on Tuesday,''

== Easter Eggs ==

*After the newspaper comes up, click the words "press conference" to see the press conference.

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Strong Bad, how do you respond to claims that your comment brought the entire royal family to tears?

''{The Cheat whispers a response to Strong Bad. Strong Bad clears his throat and speaks into the microphone.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Screw all, y'all.

''{Gasps are heard from the crowd.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Cor blimey!

''{A black-and-white photograph snaps Strong Bad and The Cheat.}''

'''MAN:''' ''{off screen, in a Liverpudlian accent}'' I can't believe he said that.

''([[The Paper]] comes down.)''

*After the press conference, click on the stack of papers to see what The Cheat told Strong Bad.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*The reason why this is called "The Lost Email!" is because after [[The Brothers Chaps]] made email 21, [[cartoon]], they went ahead and made email 23, [[little animal]], skipping over number 22. Between [[vacation]] (#40) and [[invisibility]] (#41), The Brothers Chaps made email 22.
*[[Wikipedia:Bobby|"Bobby"]] is English slang for a policeman, hence the joke about a policeman actually named Bobby.
*The article on [[Wikipedia:Cricket|cricket]] is a reference to the rest of the world's stereotyped attitude to the sport of cricket which the English are renowned for embracing.
*"Some kinda unnecessary vowel at the end" refers to differences between [[Wikipedia:American English|American English]] and [[Wikipedia:British English|British English]] (especially archaic British). Examples include words like ''annexe, programme, shoppe, olde, pointe, towne,'' and ''grille,'' and famous names such as ''Locke''.
*According to [[Wikipedia:The Guardian|The Guardian]]: "The King Of Town Eats Treacle". Although the King of Town is known for his proclivity for strange food items, [[Wikipedia:Molasses|treacle]] is not all that strange. The word is odd-sounding to American ears, but it's really just molasses.
*"[[Wikipedia:Bollocks|Bollocks]]" literally means "testicles" in Britain and Ireland. However, it can also be used in the same general sense as "crap" or "nonsense". That said, Strong Bad misspells it as "bullocks", which refers to young bulls.

===Trivia===
*This is the first email with an Easter egg that opens on the same screen as the Strong Bad email. (However, [[little animal]] was the first one that was created that contained such an egg.)
*This is the shortest Strong Bad email, weighing in at 33 seconds.

===Real-World References===
*The song Strong Bad sings in the beginning of the email is from [[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong (arcade game)|the original ''Donkey Kong'' game]].
*"Never Mind the Bullocks" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Sex Pistols|Sex Pistols]] album of similar name ("[[Wikipedia:Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols|Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols]]"), which was also banned in the UK.
