[[Image:Polymascot.PNG|thumb|"Helping America Ingenuitize the Future across the globe!"]]
'''Polymascotfoamalate''' (spelled '''polymascot foamalate''' in the 22 May 2008 [[Quote of the Week]]) is a multipurpose, foam-like material in the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. It is used as the material for mascot uniforms (such as [[The Jolly Dumple]]), as baby food, as a topping for Soured Cream, and for "helping America ingenuitize the future across the globe." It is [[Explosions|highly flammable]], being described by [[Coach Z]] as "flame pro-tardant".

In the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[4 branches]], [[Rumble Red]] reveals that Polymascotfoamalate does not exist on ''his'' planet. [[The Homestar Runner]] declares that this is because the alien is a [[Wikipedia:Communism|Communist]] fool.

The word Polymascotfoamalate is a [[Portmanteau]] of "[[Wiktionary:poly-|poly-]]", "[[Wikipedia:mascot|mascot]]", "[[Wikipedia:foam|foam]]", and "[[Wikipedia:Ate_(disambiguation)|-ate]]".

The chemical notation of the material is <math>(\mbox{Ms}^{\mbox{ct}-})+(\mbox{Fm}^{8+})</math>, a manipulation of chemical symbols to resemble the words "Mascot Foamalate."

Periodic Table Greg: /* Chemical Analysis */

== Merge ==

I suggest we merge this article with [[The Jolly Dumple]]. Polymascotfoamalate is not an item in its own right, it's merely the substance the Dumple is made from. Should more products made from it appear, then it would be worth creating an article for it. But not now.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 05:43, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
:I'm not sure this really fits [[The Jolly Dumple]] too well. It's an article about the dumple itself, and a section about the material of which the costume for the dumple is made seems out of place to me. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:49, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
::Well, to be honest, I think the current mention in the Dumple article — "The costume is made of a highly combustible material called polymascotfoamalate." — is all we need. There isn't really anything else to say about it.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 05:53, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
:::I wrote that sentence. I think it's all that's needed too, despite how fun it is to say "polymascotfoamalate" (feed it to the babies). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

I don't think this page should be merged. If someone with a bit of a chemical background comes and explain in the article what the symbols of the material mean, then the article will be complete. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 08:55, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

:Well, the symbols don't really mean anything (other than that they kind of spell out "mascotfoamalate"). There is no element with the abbreviation "Ms", and that there is an element with the abbreviation [[Wikipedia:Fermium|Fm]] is probably a coincidence. From the little I remember of chemistry, superscripted numbers on elements usually indicate [[Wikipedia:Isotope|isotopes]], but some of these indices are letters and come after the element, not before. So, with respect to the chemistry info, I don't think there's too much to add here.

:All this being said, I think polymascotfoamalate should have its own article: it has other uses. For example, you can "feed it to your babies", etc. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 09:02, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

::Well, from what I remember (which is not much) is that plus and minuses indicate [[Wikipedia:Ion|ions]]. What I meant by requesting more info about the symbols was not to interpret their meaning, but like you said: Those letters represent a made-up element, and the plus represent this or that and so on. And yeah, there should be info on the proposed uses of it by the Old-Timey characters. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 09:11, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

:::Yeah, good point about the ions. And it would be good article info to briefly explain why these symbols make no sense. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 09:14, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
::::Merge this with The Jolly Dumble before I puke. {{User:Theyellowdart/sig}}

== Asbestos ==

I always felt strongly that Polymascotfoamalate was meant to be a parody of [[Wikipedia:Asbestos|Asbestos]]. Notice that only good things are said about it in Old-Timey cartoons (although ''massively'' exaggerated) - similarly, Asbestos was used heavily in the real world much more in the past - at least until it was determined to be potentially hazardous. Also, asbestos is fire resistant - compare with "flame pro-tardent". Does anyone agree with me, and if so, how notable is it? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:48, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

:Hmmm, considering that the main (positive) property of asbestos is fire resistancy, and that PMF is highly flammable, I don't see the parody. It's also pretty common for materials to be held in high regard decades before they are found to be a major health hazard. So, I disagree.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 23:53, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

::I always thought of [[Wikipedia:Thalidomide|Thalidomide]] (yeah, I know it's a drug, not a building material), but I'm not sure it's a specific reference to particular chemical/material (although thalidomide has the "feed it to the babies" connection). {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:54, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

:I agree with Jay. when I first saw the toon, I thought of Asbestos, too. saying that the two substances are unrelated because their primary actions are opposite makes no sense to me. I think there's a connection, and that it's notable. [[User:No Probalo|No Probalo!]] 14:30, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
:I would throw Carbon Tetrachloride into the fray to establish a [[TTATOT|that and the other thing]] [[User:Flashfight|Flashfight]] 04:28, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

:I think Polymascotfoamalate is a reference to how a veriaty of dangerous chemicals were used in everyday life, like putting mercury on top hats or making water radioactive. 12:00, 26 fEB 2008 (utc)

:Surely this is also a reference to the Saturday Night Live sketch about a can of goo that turns out to be both a floor polish AND a dessert topping.

== subscript mortgages ==
at the end of the body of text, the final "t" in the formula should really be subscript and not above the c. i tried reformatting the math but i had some trouble. any help? {{User:TheDude/sig}} 04:04, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
:The change I made was putting a {} around the entire ct expression. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 04:18, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

== Cleanup tag ==

The prose is really awkward (and there's at least one "you" wording in there.) I think the chemical analysis is interesting but it needs to be tightened up considerably. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.140.243|132.183.140.243]] 17:18, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Does anyone think that we should get rid of that part? Anyone at all?
:I don't. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:39, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
::Well, to be a bit less frank, I believe it's sort of an interesting read that someone obviously worked on, and it should be kept because of that. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 23:42, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey guys, congrats. Per precedent from last year, and also just per our careful standards of documentation, we need you to demonstrate some evidence that you are indeed the people in this toon before it can be in the article. For that reason, I've removed the following for the time being:

*The person dressed as the character from [[Where's an Egg?]] is Wiki user [[User:Strong Vader|Strong Vader]].
*The person dressed as one of the "terrible Homestars" is user [[User:Movie magic man|Movie magic man]].
*The second-last person dressed as one of the "terrible Homestars" is user [[User:Open Source Greg|Open Source Greg]]

If you could provide some documentation that these are true, we can put 'em back real quick-like. You may notice I have not removed Monkeytender's. This is because he made [http://forum.hrwiki.org/viewtopic.php?p=801674#p801674 this post] at the forum in advance of this toon's release, which seems to corroborate his claim. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 11:01, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' I baked you this special email! It has... raisins.

<blockquote class="lappy email">

<div>subject: Diorama</div>
Hey Strong Bad, 
I have to do some crappy, really stupid diorama this year. 
I want it to be bloody and gory, but it has to be "Middle 
School Appropriate", or whatever. Got any tips? 
Molly T. 
Charlotte, N.C.
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Charlotte, N.C." as "Charlotte, Not Charlotte".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, it's like you're no place! ''{typing}'' So you're telling me that Ms. Charbroiledburger, or whoever actually told you to make a crappy, really stupid diorama for an assignment? Now ''that's'' what I call edjakashun!! ''{clears screen}'' No sense in thinking about this one until you're on the bus on the way to school the morning it's due. Then it's time to whip out my old standby-orama:

''{Cut to the desk, where a diorama with pencils, pens, an eraser and a bottle of glue inside falls down}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Whimsical World of School Supplies!

''{Cut back to the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But dioramas shouldn't be wasted, Mollyman. This is probably the only school-approved opportunity to melt small plastic animals and shame our beloved literary characters that you're ever gonna get. I say embrace it! I say deface it!! ''{clears screen}'' Here are my tips: first off, behind every good diorama is an even gooder shoebox. So unless you wanna get called The Stride-Rite Kid for the rest of your life, you better go buy a pair of the—

''{Cut to the desk. A red shoebox with "Air Cardgage" white-and-skyblue logo printed on its cover slides in from the right}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —coolest, most expensive shoes on the market.

''{A pricetag with "37899" written on it appears with a ding}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Or at least modify a ''{a lime green shoebox with "Dr. Soft-[[Soolnd]]'s Tan Medical Shoes" written on it slides from the right in front of the Air Cardgage box}'' box of cheapo, generico shoes to look expensive.

''{Strong Sad's hand slaps a piece of paper with "Slam-Dunking" written on it on the shoebox over the words "Tan Medical"}''

''{Cut out to see the Air Cardgage box, scissors and a hot glue gun. Strong Bad walks in from the right}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now let's talk about topics. If the assignment calls for a science diorama, just slap some glue on some cotton balls and BANG!

''{Cut to the Air Cardgage diorama, where a field and sky has been drawn}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The effects of cumulonimbus clouds ''{cotton balls appear in the sky, forming a cloud-like shape}'' on sheep, ''{sheep made out of cotton balls appear on the ground}'' snowmen, ''{a snowman made out of cotton balls appears on the right}'' aaaaand... cotton... balls. ''{a pile of cotton balls appear on the left}'' But if you're out of cotton balls, real chunks ''{The cotton balls transform to become more "jaggedy" and some of them gain red stains}'' of the King of Town's beard make a great substitute.

''{A blood trace trickles down from the beardcloud}''

''{Cut to the King Of Town, whose beard has been gruesomely ripped}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' To be fair, I did eat all the cotton balls.

''{Cut back to the desk with Strong Bad, the Air Cardgage diorama, scissors, hot glue gun, colored paper and glue bottle}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' If you need to make some historical diorama, there's only one way to go: presidential assassinations.

''{Cut close to the desk, where a Dr. Soft-Soolnd's Slam-Dunking Shoes diorama slides in from the left}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You can immortalize such tragic moments in U.S. history ''{a cardboard White House appears in the background}'' as... the robot that effortlessly offed Jimmy Carter. ''{a robot made out of a toilet paper roll and Jimmy Carter doll made out of a clothespin appear. The robot's lights start to twinkle with computer-like sound effects}'' And if it's a book report diorama you're doing,—

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —the easiest way to get around reading an actual book is to make one up yourself! I can't tell you how many dioramas I got out of

''{Cut to the Air Cardgage diorama, now with a purple sky, a sun and the King Of Town's castle the background plus King Of Town and a half-eaten Swiss Cake Roll in the foreground}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The King Of Town's Adventures in Giant Cockroachland! ''{a sizeable number of cockroaches swarm around the Swiss Cake Roll, bashing King Of Town down}'' Books one through seven.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Though with the Internet, it's probably easier for teachers to check your sources than in my day. To get away with that now, you'd also have to make—

''{Cut to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —a fake website for the book, ''{a website at www.bookazon.com appears, displaying information about "The King Of Town's Adventures in Giant Cockroachland" by Ronmartin Realdude}'' and the author, ''{a bio and a silhouette with a question mark appear next to the book information}'' and the publisher, ''{a logo for Actual Publishing Company appears in the bottom of the screen}'' and just to be safe, ''{Download the eBook Now -button appears on the screen}'' maybe go ahead and actually write the book.

''{The badly done cover for KoT's Cockroach Book appears}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man. It's gotten so hard to cheat these days!

''{The Cheat walks past in the background, carrying the Lappy}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Finally, let me address your concerns about blood and gore. There's an easy loophole to exploit here, Molly. A little something I like to call... uh-dinosaurs. No teacher can argue,—

''{Cut to an Air Cardgage diorama, with a prehistoric setting}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —that an Allosaurus ''{an Allosaurus appears}'' tearing apart its prey ''{a rubber duck appears}'' is bound to be pretty gruesome. ''{spaghetti and pasta sauce appears on the duck, on the ground and in the Allosaurus' mouth}'' And if that prey ''{rubber duck disappears}'' just happens to be the signers of The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, ''{a table and four clothespin people appear}'' well that's bound to be pretty messed up too. ''{pasta sauce and spaghetti appears on the people}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad, looking at his diorama, smiling}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man, that is too awesome. I gotta get in on that action.

''{Cut back to the prehistoric Air Cardgage diorama}''

''{Peanut Strong Bad walks in, holding a cocktail sword with an olive}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, take that, Nicholas Trist, representative for president James K. Polk! I'll teach ''you'' to mess with my Rio Grande! And my Rio Bravo! ''{Peanut Strong Bad pokes and hits the Nicholas Trist clothespin}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Mollybdenum, you think you got enough to go on? You're gonna dioRAM their socks off! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go help that robot vaporize The Old Public Functionary!

''{Strong Bad leaves, geddup noise}''

''{Cut to the green diorama, where the toilet paper robot is shooting a clothespin person. Peanut Strong Bad is standing by him}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Come on, Boltotron! Hit him with the Byoo-Cannon!

''{A toilet paper roll with "Byoo-Cannon" written on it descends from above}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Byoo byo-byoo byoo byo-byo-byoo! ''{the Byoo-Cannon shoots red lights at the clothespin person}''

'''The Pizz''' is a [[pizza]] place created by [[Strong Bad]] in the interest of attracting young college girls; however, soon after opening, it somehow became a real, successful pizzeria.

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

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

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

''{clears screen}''

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

''{A photo showing Strong Bad in his living room wearing nurse's scrubs and holding a chainsaw appears over the scene. It is labeled:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice over, still typing}'' "heart surgeon",

''{The photo disappears and another photo appears. This photo depicts Strong Bad in the classroom wearing a lab coat. He's still holding the chainsaw. It is labeled:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' a "licensed technician",

''{The photo is replaced with an image of Strong Bad at a dining table. A rusty pan with a single chicken wing sits on the table in front of him. Again, he is holding the chainsaw.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' a "poultry farmer",

''{The photo is replaced with an image of Strong Bad at The Field. There is a can of lighter fluid and a can of gasoline on the ground nearby. He's holding the chainsaw again, but the chainsaw is now on fire.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' and a "fireman".

''{The photo disappears.}''

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

''{cut through static to a miniature screen of Strong Bad in The Field behind a scrolling background with "Demo Reel" written. It disjointedly gets larger until it fills the entire screen}

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hello there. I'm famed quotation marked videographer Strong Bad. ''{The word "Videog-rapher" appears onscreen, taking up two lines}'' Do you like quick zooms and solarizing effects? What about diamondy transitions, pixelated wipes, or slow fade-outs? ''{an example of each of these effects is shown as Strong Bad names them}'' All these effects and more will make your cherished event that happened last month be cherished forever.

''(diamond cut to Locker Room}''

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

''(the screen briefly solarises. Static cut to Strong Bad's shoes at The Field)''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Unintelligible mumbles}'' Little Jimmy is playing lacrosse! ''{More mumbles, the POV briefly switches up to a view of the sun}'' Oh, he scores the winning... lacrosse point! ''{A whistle is heard}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, and his dad was totally there and not at Applebee's! ''{The camera lowers to reveal The Cheat holding the sticks before clock-wiping back to Strong Bad's shoes}'' ''{the text "Good Shot, Johnny!" appears on-screen}'' Good shot, John—Jimmy! ''{the on-screen caption corrects the name}''

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

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

''{Videlectrix Mascot-wipe to a title screen reading "Video Evidence of Homestar & Marzipan's 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 10th Anniversary Celebration!!!" Classical music plays}''

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

''{Videlectrix Mascot backwards-wipe to Homestar in his living room}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over; whispered}'' Definitely! Just act like you're celebrating!

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

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

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

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

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

''{cut to a meatloaf on the table. The image changes to sepia tone as Strong Bad speaks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —''sepia tones?'' ''{"Here Comes The Strong Bad" theme music plays, and the text "FAMILY MEATLOAF NIGHT" appears over the image}''

'''VARIOUS VOICES:''' ''{voice-over}'' Uh, no. I don't... think so. I definitely didn't.

''{Cut to Strong Bad in the kitchen, with four toasters bearing the current logo of Video Toaster}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And with our new sweet, sweet suite of video toasters, ''{the four toasters pop out VHS tapes, one per toaster}'' your precious memories will have titles that defy the very laws of reason.

''{Cut to a picture of a decoration. The caption "YOUR WEDDING VIDEO" appears on-screen. The word "Your" twirls around in 3D, while a rocket sound plays.}''

'''VOICES:''' ''{voice-over}'' Oooh!

''{Cut to a picture of a rose. The text "The Union of ROBERT McSWAIN: VIDEO MEDIA TECHNOLOGIST and THE LADY HE MARRIED IN AUGUST" appears on-screen.}''

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

''{Cut to Computer Room}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But you could probably also get away with just putting—

''{cut to a shelf of VHS tapes. Two are labelled "blank", and a third is labelled "especially blank". Another with a blue label is titled "Problem Child 1-8"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' —a label that says "WEDDIN TAPE" on a VHS cassette— ''{Strong Bad places a piece of masking tape marked "WEDDIN TAPE" over the Problem Child video's label}''

''{cut back to the computer room}''

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

''{The [[Compé-per]] comes up}''

==Easter Eggs==
*Clicking on "Grandma Auntpaw" at the end shows a short clip of Strong Bad showing off his video camera.
*:'''STRONG BAD:''' My state-of-the-art camera has a state-of-the-art microphone mounted right next to the giant videotape motor. So you're guaranteed to hear mostly that, and not what Grandmaw Auntpaw just said on her hundred-and-ninth birthday.
*:''{Title card reading "Grandmaw Auntpaw's 100-Somethingth Birthday Stand-around" appears. Cut to a scene showing a wall and the shadow of an old woman sitting in a wheelchair just out of frame. The recorder's motor plays loudly.}''
*:'''GRANDMAW AUNTPAW:''' ''{barely audible}'' I never loved any of you.
*Clicking on "internet gold" at the end brings up a scrap of paper showing the [[YouTube]] video ID for [[Coach Z pukes in dude's toupee]].

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Lacrosse|Lacrosse]] is a field [[sport]] played with a solid rubber ball and long-handled racquets.
*The sport of [[Wikipedia:boxing|boxing]] is sometimes referred to as [http://www.thesweetscience.com/ The Sweet Science].
* AKA stands for "Also Known As".

===Remarks===
*Clicking on "internet gold" originally linked directly to the YouTube video. This was changed later that day.
*Strong Bad's VHS tape is labeled "Problem Child 1-8". Even if there were eight Problem Child movies, they would have most likely required at least a 12 hour long cassette. The longest VHS cassette is eight and a half hours.

===Goofs===
*After the camera zooms out in Marzipan's kitchen, the cabinet in the background is gone.
*The "sbemail.exe" text overlaps the Email window for a single frame.

===Inside References===

**Strong Bad holds [[Strong Mad's Chainsaw]] in all of the photos.
**Strong Bad is seen [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiling]] in all of the photos.
**The chainsaw is on [[fire]] when Strong Bad brings up "fireman", and containers of "Lite em up [[Dan]]" lighter fluid from [[pizza joint]] are at his feet.
**In the "licensed technician" picture, Strong Bad appears to be in [[the classroom]] wearing a lab coat, as he was in [[technology]].
*Strong Bad was last shown with a pan with a [[chicken|chicken leg]] in it in [[slumber party]].
*The music played at the beginning of Strong Bad's demo reel is the theme song from the [[Sbemailiarized]] toons.
*Strong Bad's wallpaper is one of the [[wallpaper]]s from the [[Downloads]] page.
*The music that plays during the meatloaf night scene is the theme song to "The Strong Bad", which was introduced in [[pizzaz]].
*The last time [[The Brothers Chaps]] created a YouTube exclusive was when they released [[Strong Bad Gameways]], the video ID for which appeared in a similar Easter egg in [[shapeshifter]].
*Several [[VCR]]s are hooked to [[Laser Lemon|The Cheat's oscilloscope]] from [[coloring]].
*"Seedy Rom" is a [[homophone]] of "CD-ROM".
*"Dropping an F-Bomb" is another reference to [[Swears|swearing]].
*One of the transitions is the [[Videlectrix]] mascot.
*Strong Bad [[Blatant Lies|lies]] several times about the quality and content of his video-graphing (such as the lacross game tape where Strong Bad says that Johnny/Jimmy's father was "totally there and not at Applebees!")

Periodic Table Greg:

==lens flare==

Mention the lens flare when SB is talking in the lacrosse vid?

==Grandma say wha?==

I think Grandma Aundpaw is saying someing like "I never ??? loved you."
:It's "I never loved any of you" -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.119|128.103.10.119]] 06:30, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

== "and take on such a task" ==

*Just a note that SB misreads it as "''to'' take on such a task". [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 07:07, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
:"To" would be correct grammar in the context, incidentally. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 08:04, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

== what problem child? ==

why is "problem child" listed in real-world references? what is the reference? falling down stairs? that doesn't seem like enough... --[[User:Neumannz|Neumannz]] 07:50, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
:The videocassette Strong Bad labels over is labelled "Problem Child 1-8". --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 07:52, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

== Real world explanations ==

I put a Video Toaster entry in real world references before noticing it was in explanations already. Then I saw that Applebee's is in real world references. It would seem that if VT is an explanation Applebee's should be also, and if Applebee's is a rwr VT should be as well (though I could see a flip). What's the proper placement in this case?[[Special:Contributions/146.122.71.68|146.122.71.68]] 11:37, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
:I think they are both where they should be. Applebee's is mentioned in a natural context, referred to as a real place—thus, real-world references. The video toasters shown, on the other hand, are not what actual video toasters really are. Thus the unfamiliar term needs an explanation. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 12:26, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps they are just two different versions of Davey. Or TBC needed another person to give french fries. [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 22:27, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::My opinion, Davey and the guy with the mustache are two different guys. The hair and guitar falling from the sky can be attributed to nothing more that Powered By The Cheat. Most PBTC toons have little weird quirks like that. I think the guitarist should be called Stupid Hippie.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 02:31, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
::::::::::Well then, who the crap is Davey?! Are you sure he's not The singer? (Sorry about the outburst. :() --{{User:Platinum789hi/sig}} 22:32, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::::"'''I'm''' Gonna sing it." {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 01:01, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
::::::::::::Yeah, but the guy named Davey in the beginning of this toon, and the guitarist previously seen in [[for kids]] don't look anything alike, and they're not even voiced by the same person. I think Davey saing "I'm gonna sing it" and the hair and guitar falling from the heavens to Davey's head and arms is just a classic case of HomestarRunner.com throwing the laws of physics and anything that makes sense out the window.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 02:19, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::::::'''Decline.''' The cartoon dude who puts on the wig and mustache is Davey, not the guitarist dude he's imitating. Where's STUFF when you need it? --[[User:Periodic Table Greg|Periodic Table Greg]] 19:23, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

== Audio quality ==
I think the whole song is higher quality, but 'I'm-a gonna throw a brick at your cellist' sounds higher quality than the rest. [[User:StrongAwesome74|StrongAwesome74]] 19:38, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
:The "brick at your cellist" line is higher quality for sure. Don't know about the rest, though. [[User:NMRodo|NMRodo]] 21:45, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

== Puppets ==

Doesn't the title, "Davey Gets His Due" sound similar to Main Page 25's Toons quote, "The Puppets get their due"? [[User:Atarifanatic|Atari]][[User_Talk:Atarifanatic|fanatic]][[Image:atarifanatic_sig.png|Atari controller]] 21:07, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

== Haddi-man ==

The title card for the song says "dir: Haddi-man and The Cheat. In for kids, homsar's show is titled 'Waddya know, Haddi-man?' Could this mean homsar helped direct this video? [[User:FugitiveofPhysics|FugitiveofPhysics]] 21:39, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
:That's the impression I was under, especially since the Davey animations match the animations from the show. [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 22:25, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

== Peasant's Quest reference? ==

At the beginning of the mountain scene, doesn't it seem like we've seen those pixelated lightning bolts before? - [[User:FugitiveofPhysics|FugitiveofPhysics]] 21:43, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
:That was in PQ and TROGDOR!!! I think. {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 23:53, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

== Gutterance. ==

If we felt like we should start counting gutteral utterances, this certainly has one. [[User:Durniel|Durniel]] 02:56, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
:Care to explain? (Signed out Open SOurce Greg)
:: I believe he's referring to this line: "STRONG BAD: ''Awwwwwwww!'' I thought you were done." It's more of an "''Aaaauuuuuuuuuuuugh!''" actually. Sounds like a gutterance to me. [[User:Nightsong81|Nightsong81]] 17:58, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

==Powered by the cheat?==
I do not think this should be sorted under powered by the cheat. If there was a category for the brothers chaps experimenting with lcd I think this would fit rite in.[[Special:Contributions/96.242.156.142|96.242.156.142]] 17:02, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
: That's where it's filed in the Toons menu on the official site. Besides, it's got a PbTC intro and bridge. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:03, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

== Oh, Hey you guys... ==

which one of the ol' Supreme Giant Boys akshully sing this? Cuz it doesn't sound like any of the awesome Maybe their Giants band!
:Um... I'm pretty sure the main voice is John Linnel, and the second voice is John Flansburgh... unless you meant something else.[[User:Durniel|Durniel]] 07:06, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
awesome,thanks.

== Howd he do that? ==

Should it be noted that Davie's gitar has no strings? {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 00:04, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
:No. This is a PBTC toon, which means it uses a simpler, more abstract and even more absurdist style than cartoons set in the actual Homestar universe. [[User:Nightsong81|Nightsong81]] 01:03, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
:: The only PbTC segments are the intro and the bridge. The singer through most of the song is not PbTC-style (most of the time.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:12, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
:::Fair enough, but the haddi-man segments aren't exactly "realistic" even by sbemail standards, themselves. The man's guitar didn't have any strings in [[for kids]], either. Was it notable then? [[User:Nightsong81|Nightsong81]] 02:34, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

== Charlie? ==

Does anyone else think that there might be some kind of reference to Charlie the Unicorn? Or is that wishful thinking on my part? - [[User:Point7Q|Point7Q]]

: considering they never mention the name 'Charlie', Just Unicorns doesn't mean it's a reference to him, or any specific unicorn. [[User:StrongAwesome74|StrongAwesome74]] 02:24, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

:: I kind of figured that, but I wanted to bring it up anyway. I've seen only the "Candy Mountain" one (I've heard there are others?), but it's been a while and I thought the rainbow bridge thing sounded familiar. If a rainbow bridge hasn't been featured in something with Charlie, it should be. - [[User:Point7Q|Point7Q]] 02:45, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

::: Rainbows and unicorns go together like sparkles and... unicorns. They just go together. And if you're looking for the conceptual origin of a rainbow bridge, you're going to have to go [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norse_mythology a lot farther back] than Charlie the Unicorn. [[User:Nightsong81|Nightsong81]] 03:43, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

:::: Good point. Thinking about it further, I suspect the real reason it seemed familiar is because of the "sweet, sweet, rainbow bridge" in [[flashback]], which is probably too much of a stretch to cite as an internal reference. - [[User:Point7Q|Point7Q]] 10:53, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

== Sierra Presents Chernabog ==

Isn't this one of the "it can't be both" cases? -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.119|128.103.10.119]] 03:39, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8Ca_edg6RE Chernabog]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS-51GfFRGo Quest For Glory II]. Compare for yourself. Which is more similar? [[User:Nightsong81|Nightsong81]] 04:12, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

== Does anyone want an OGG of this? ==

I cut out part of the podcast (this entire song) and converted it to OGG, for those who can't play MP3s due to patent restrictions disallowing you to play MP3s. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 00:49, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
:I think it would be nice if you just upload it onto the Wiki. Just in case anyone wants to have the song as their own.--[[Special:Contributions/70.176.220.156|70.176.220.156]] 23:15, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
::Except don't. It's not our file to do with as we please. It's one thing to bend the rules of fair use with TBC's images, but what liberties they afford us don't extend to TMBG's copyrighted music. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:09, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

== Sentence Quality ==

This sentence in Explanations has issues: 
:''This song comes from They Might Be Giants Podcast 37A, during which John Flansburgh also mentions hoping to make this into something on homestarrunner.com, which, eleven months later, it has.'' 
Specifically, "it has" is ambiguous. What is "it," and what has it done? This isn't meant to be rude to the person who wrote it, but I'm not sure the best way to fix it. It would technically work with, "..., he has," but I'm not sure that's the best phrasing. It could also work with, "which happened eleven months later." Maybe just leave off everything after homestarrunner.com?[[Special:Contributions/146.122.71.68|146.122.71.68]] 12:21, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
:... The use of "it" is by far the least of this sentence's problems. Run-on sentence, mis-ordered clauses, terrible punctuation, no tense agreement, no verb agreement. It's barely got noun agreement. I'd attempt a rewrite, but late at night right now, so I'm not sure I could make anything much more coherent. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 13:36, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
::How about:<blockquote>This song comes from [[They Might Be Giants]] [[TMBW:Podcast 37A|Podcast 37A]], which was released eleven months before this toon. During the podcast, John Flansburgh mentions that the song is "hopefully going to be made into something with Homestar."</blockquote>I think that reads a lot better, and has all the same information. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:58, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
:::Ooo, yah, that flows much better. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 20:52, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

== Smiling Strong Bad? ==

It looks like Strong Bad smiles briefly in Haddi-Man form when he threatens to melt the guitarist's face. Thoughts? --[[User:HungryHungryHippy|HungryHungryHippy]] 20:31, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
: It sure does look like it. I'm gonna add it now. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 20:44, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
::While his mouth is in the shape of a smile, it just looks to me like he's saying the word "face". --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 20:50, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

==Transcript==
''{Music plays. There is a red curtain with "The Animated Adventures of" on it. throughout the entire cartoon, there is a cardboard border around the edges. It opens to The Field. "PUPPET HOMESTAR" is in colorful letters that hang from strings. "PUPPET HOMESTAR" gets pulled up.}''

''{The music stops.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Once upon a time...

''{Puppet Homestar Runner comes in from the right}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...here's the type of thing that happened.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angrily}'' I don't believe it! I won't believe it! There isn't a pile right here! What kind of world do we live in, where there isn't a pile right here? ''{no longer angry}'' Well, I'm going to do my part! I'm gonna— ''{breaks off}'' umm... ''build'' a pile!

''{Puppet Homestar leaves. He then comes back holding an egg.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' My pile will start with an egg!

''{Puppet Homestar leaves and then comes back holding bacon.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And, a bacon.

''{Shark-Tooth Bubs appears.}''

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' What you're doing in m-here, Homestar? W-you making a breakfast pile or...?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, n—

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' A beach resort pile?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, no...it's not supposed to be.

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' Well, looks like you're heading in that direction, if I'ms can say....

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, heavens!

''{Shark-Tooth Bubs moves closer to Puppet Homestar.}''

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' Why don't I be your pile manager? ''{moves back}'' I'll make sure it doesn't become a breakfast pile? For you?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You'd do that for me? Be my pile manager?

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' ''{lunging forwards, suddenly aggressive}'' Get back to work!

''{The curtains close.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Everything was piles upon piles...

(The curtains open to Puppet Homestar and Shark-Tooth Bubs standing by a big pile)

'''STRONG SAD:''' (voiceover) ...until one day...

''{Puppet Strong Bad and Puppet The Cheat come in from the left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Grabble-dee-garble-dee-grabble-a-grah!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh... what?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, you haven't heard that yet? That's like, the new "Fe Fi Fo Fum".

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I don't like it. It'll never last.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, anyways, this is my pile now.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, no...! ''{leans backwards}''

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' ''{moving forward}'' Say there, Mohhhldy Moldy. You need a pile manager?

'''STRONG BAD:''' You'd do that for me?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angrily}'' You traitorous trade-about! ''{He exits screen right}''

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' Sorry, piles, I got my own styles.

''{Screen darkens and then curtain closes}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And so the Animated Adventures of Puppet Homestar—

''{curtain opens to the Puppet Homestar moving in silhouette among some hills}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' — decided that he should seek out some help. He goed and goed until he finally went.

''{Homestar stops on a hill}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ew!

''{Curtain quickly closes and reopens to reveal Homestar in the field with Marshie and Doreauxgard}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You guys gotta help me! You're the only puppets left!

'''DOREAUXGARD:''' Well...sounds like you better protect yourself. Bag of doorknobs. ''{lunges towards Homestar}'' Bag of doors, if you can manage it!

'''MARSHIE:''' Oo! And then, ''oo''! I've got just the thing! Now, huddle up boys, and make that old whispering sound!

''{Music starts and the trio make indistinct whispering sounds.}''

''{Curtain closes and reopens to Strong Bad, The Cheat, and Shark-Tooth Bubs by the pile}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, who knew being king of the pile would be sooooooooooooooooooo exciting.

'''SHARK-TOOTH BUBS:''' I'm going to go throw up at your house.

''{Shark-Tooth Bubs exits from the bottom of the screen and is replaced by Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ho ho!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, what?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' "Ho ho!" It's the new "a ha".

'''STRONG BAD:''' I can live with that.

''{Marshie comes flying in}''

'''MARSHIE:''' Let 'em have it, Jackson! ''{Marshie flies off}''

''{A translucent sheet comes down so that The Cheat, Strong Bad, and Homestar are only seen as shadows}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhhhhhhhhhh-AGGGH!!!!!

''{The Homestar puppet comes off to reveal a squirming hand, which makes gurgling/growling noises}''

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat scream and flee screen left in terror}''

''{The hand lets out a yell after Strong Bad and The Cheat have left the screen}''

''{The Homestar Puppet covers the hand and the sheet comes up, leaving Homestar alone with the pile.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Too good, Strong Bad! ''{Doreauxgard comes in screen left and Marshie flies in}'' Looks like your fifteen minutes of pile are over!

''{The screen darkens and from screen left enters a hand colored grey with Strong Sad's eyes on the knuckle}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And so, The Animated Adventures of Puppet Homestar lived ''{curtain closes}'' pretty well after that. Can't complain, really. I guess my thumb is pretty sore.

''{Homestar enters screen right}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{whisperingly}'' Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' I think this permanent marker is giving my hand a rash

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{whispering, overlapping}'' Stop it. Puppet thing is over.

'''STRONG SAD:''' And the bloating! Don't get me started on the bloating.

''{Homestar continues to whisper to get Strong Sad's attention}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Stop it. Cut it out. Enough. It's the end.

''{Strong Sad finally leaves screen left}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh? Wiggle it! Just a little bit? Strong Sad!

''{"End." appears on the curtain}''

*Homestar says that Marshie and Doreauxgard are the "only puppets left"; however, [[The Exact Same]] and [[Frank Bennedetto]] are not mentioned.

===Inside References===
*Strong Sad mentions everything being "[[Styles Upon Styles|Piles Upon Piles]]".
*Homestar's pile contains [[Eggs|an egg]], a strip of [[Bacon|bacon]], and eventually a [[babies|baby]] doll.
*Shark-Tooth Bubs says to Homestar that he has his own [[Style|styles]].
*Shark-Tooth Bubs says he's going to [[Puking|throw up]] on Strong Bad's house.
*The part where Homestar is running over the hills is similar to a scene in the [[Old Intro 2|second Intro]].
*There is another reference to [[peeing]].
*Puppet Homestar [[Fourth Wall Breaks|breaks the fourth wall]] by both showing disgust over Puppet Strong Sad's line "-until he finally went." and with the line "You guys got to help me! You're the only puppets left!"

===Real-World References===
*Strong Bad's "garbldy-garbldy" is mentioned as being the new "Fe-Fi-Fo-Fum" from [[Wikipedia:Jack_and_the_Beanstalk|Jack & the Beanstalk]].
*Homestar saying that Strong Bad's fifteen minutes of pile are over is a play on [[Wikipedia:Andy Warhol|Andy Warhol's]] famous quote that in the future, everyone would have [[Wikipedia:15 minutes of fame|fifteen minutes of fame]].
*"Wiggle it, just a little bit" is a line from the early-90's hip hop group [[Wikipedia:2 in a Room|2 in a Room]]'s single Wiggle It.

Periodic Table Greg: /* Jeopardy! */

==Double Homestar with Cheese==
Homestar is listed twice in the cast list. Any reason? [[User:Flicky1991|Flicky1991]] 17:21, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

== Compé backgrounds ==

Considering that Strong Bad seems to have a new background for his Compé in each episode, I think that a new page should be added to keep track of them. [[User:Unbalanced|Unbalanced]] 18:16, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
:Yeah, with a galllery and everything! The only problem would be after fifty emails or so, we'd end up with one long article with lots and lots of pictures, but that was never a real problem with [[Floppy Disk Container]] or the [[Other Costumes]] articles. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 18:22, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
::You see, I promise i'm not lying, but i saw this coming! When he changed his background last time, I thought, that's gonna be a running gag.--{{User:Crudely Drawn Cupcake/sig}} 00:41, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

== Fencéd Pants ==

Is there a seperate name for the fenced-in area where Marzipan's scene takes place, or is that just an extension of The Field/her house? [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 19:04, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

== Jeopardy! ==

"Potent Potables" is a real category from Jeopardy!, and not just from the SNL Celebrity Jeopardy skits. The skits use it because it's a real category. This sbemail references Jeopardy!, not SNL's skits. This real-world reference has been changed a few times already to insert and re-insert the SNL bit, but it does not belong. [[Special:Contributions/146.122.71.68|146.122.71.68]] 19:05, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
:If it wasn't in every single SNL Celebrity Jeopardy! parody ever made, I wouldn't be arguing a case. If it had only been in a few of them, I would agree that it didn't belong, but since it's in ''all'' of them, and since SNL made it much more famous than Jeopardy! did, i think it deserves a mention. I'm certainly not disagreeing that it was originally a Jeopardy! category, but it is much more common in the SNL parodies. i also don't think it's proper to say "it doesn't reference x; instead, it references a thing that x references" if it's this direct of a reference. for instance, if i wanted to say "potent potables" intending it to be an SNL reference, i wouldn't want you to say "it's not an SNL reference b/c it's an actual Jeopardy! reference". not saying that's what tbc did or didn't do, but it's too commonly referenced in SNL to not be mentioned on the page. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 19:34, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
::There's nothing tying it to SNL that doesn't also tie it to Jeopardy. Jeopardy did it first, so list it and it alone. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:38, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
::Alex Trebek as host was a part of every SNL Celebrity Jeopardy skit. This cannot be said of Jeopardy!, which was previously hosted by Art Fleming. So if a Jeopardy-style show were hosted by Alex Trebek, would this be a reference to SNL's skits since he was in all of them? Potent Potables is one of few oft-repeated Jeopardy! categories, which is why SNL uses it.[[Special:Contributions/146.122.71.68|146.122.71.68]] 20:44, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
:::I dunno, I kinda lean towards the SNL skit, too. Like TKWSN said, it seems that SNL did much to make the category stand out in popular consciousness. Note that [[Wikipedia:Potent_potables|the big wiki]] feels it relevant enough to mention both of them. I kind think we should too. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.151.122|132.183.151.122]] 00:27, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
::::''They'' have in-depth pages on both the game show and the parody. ''We'' focus on Homestar Runner; both are outside our scope except in mentioning references. I wouldn't say that's comparable. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:53, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
::::PS. Compare with the discussion we had [[Talk:Homestar Ruiner#Survey Says:|here]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:56, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
:::::I wouldn't say that's comparable. I grew up in one of the states mentioned and have never heard of that radio show. Almost everyone has seen Celebrity Jeopardy. -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.119|128.103.10.119]] 02:05, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
::::::Jay, how did i know you were going to bring that up? 128.103.10... (i notice it's very close to the ip in that other talk page; is it a college campus ip?), if you grew up in the midwest, as i said in the other talk page, i don't think the show is popular there. as for this issue, i think we should take it to STUFF. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 03:36, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
:::::::I personally have watched dozens of episodes of jeopardy in my lifetime and have never once seen that category appear outside of the SNL version. Had i not seen this, i'd have continued to think that SNL made it up. Jeoparsy may have used it once or twice, but it's SNL that made it famous. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 03:41, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
::::::::Conversely, I don't watch Jeopardy all that much, and I've ''never'' seen the SNL sketch, but this is ''far'' from the first appearance of "Potent Potables" that I've seen. So either it's a common phrase that I cannot place (outside of Jeopardy) or I saw it on Jeopardy. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:29, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::I would dispute the claim that SNL made it famous. Maybe SNL made it famous to the under-30 crowd, but they used it because it was an already-famous Jeopardy! category. The reason they use Potent Potables first is so that they have a real category before a series of joke categories. DeFender1031, I would direct you to your own comments on the talk page Jay posted. I suppose the Jeopardy! issue could be avoided altogether by simply stating that a potent potable is an alcoholic beverage.[[Special:Contributions/146.122.71.68|146.122.71.68]] 12:44, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
::::::::::I'm fully aware of my own comments there, however in this case, the original famous thing IS SNL referencing jeopardy, IMO. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:06, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::::How is it even possible that the original is referencing something else? If it's referencing something, it's not the original. When the Celebrity Jeopardy! parodies started in the mid-late '90s, Potent Potables rang true as an actual category. It was already famous. If most of your pop-culture knowledge is from the last decade and a half (probably the case with most here), SNL's skits seem to dominate this usage. TBC are old enough to know which predates which. Again, if "SNL [is] referencing jeopardy," the SNL skits CAN'T be the original (by definition). It's not where you know it from, it's where it ''comes'' from.[[Special:Contributions/146.122.71.68|146.122.71.68]] 19:57, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::::: This is a pretty clear case of TTATOT. Jeopardy! made it famous first.--[[User:Periodic Table Greg|Periodic Table Greg]] 18:32, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

== "ONION BUUUUBSSSS!!!" ==

The cheering crowd, which includes the fanatic who screams "[[Onion Bubs]]" (from [[original]] and [[A Death-Defying Decemberween]]), appear in this sbemail. Does that mean that they should have a separate page since they've been heard three distinct times?
: I'd say no, because the only things that can be said about them can (and probably already are) noted on Onion Bubs's own page already. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:31, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

== 404'd ==

Currently, whenever I try to view the regular page or the flash file, I get 404'd. Anyone else? What can I do? Can someone put up a mirror?
: Not me. I'd try to put up a mirror, but I don't know how to. Sorry about that. Maybe clear your cache and see if that works. After that, wait. If it doesn't clear up, the only option left would be to contact the Chapmans. Maybe the error is on their side. (On a related note, can anyone teach me how to make a mirror of stuff? Maybe on my Talk Page?)--[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 20:15, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

== gutt*e*ral ==

No-one else notice Strong Bad's spelling mistake? He combined "gutteral" with "utterances" to form "gutterances". The problem is that "gutteral" itself isn't a word. It's "guttural".

'''Running Time:''' 3:48

'''Page Title:''' Compy Compé

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

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

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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hurl!

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

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

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

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

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

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

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Cut to a sample from the book with romantic music playing}''

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

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

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

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

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

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

'''STRONG SAD:''' My paunch does not smell! ''{Strong Sad hits his body with both of his fists to punctuate the last two words}''

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

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

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

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' There's the "pffgh!" sound ''{a tattered piece of paper with a symbol (a P with an umlaut and a sideways f attached to it) and name for "pffgh!" comes down}'' for Coach Z. ''{the piece of paper goes back up}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pffgh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The "aungh!" ''{a tattered piece of paper with a symbol (an upside-down A with a circumflex below it and a dot on either side) and name for "aungh!" comes down}'' sound ''{Strong Bad remains in the same place, but the scenery changes to a fenced area, with Marzipan holding Carol and standing in front of a microphone}'' for Marzipan. ''{the piece of paper goes back up}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aungh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And of course, the ever popular ''{the scene shifts again, this time to the Basement of the Brothers Strong, with Strong Sad sitting on the couch, and a piece of paper with a symbol (a g that rotates in place between braces) and name for "graaaauuuughnck!" comes down}'' "graaauuughnck!!" sound for you-know-who. ''{the piece of paper goes back up}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Talk?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Graaauuughnck!! ''{twirls the football once more}''

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

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

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

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

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

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

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

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

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

===Remarks===
*Strong Sad himself can be seen behind Pom Pom when the main characters protest that Strong Sad's "paunch smells." His body is even moving, indicating that he is saying "Yes it does."
*When Homestar flips from "crap-for-brains" to "carp-for-brains", he flips from the index of "P" words to the index of "C" words, even though both words start with "C". He then looks up "brain-for-brains" in the index of "P" words. This is similar to Strong Sad's complaint that the dictionary goes "straight from crapvalanche to pukevalanche", where is he flips the dictionary back and forth from the index of "C" words to "P" words.
*There is a double-space between "little" and "boodroscotch", and between "droppin'" and "on".
*Although the suffix "-rnado" is shown, the narrator and Homestar use it without the "r" when they say "wastenado."
*The suffix "-onsoon" (hinting at [[Wikipedia:Monsoon|monsoon]]) does not fit in the list because monsoon is actually not considered to be a natural disaster.
*Coach Z's body (from his [[Coach Z Evolution|sixth design]]) is hidden in the Flash File.
*Predictably, two of the "sound" words included in Strong Bad's dictionary have [[Multiple Consonants|several consonants]].
*The book Homsar holds while speaking to the Tire looks nothing like the dictionary seen throughout the email.

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

==Transcript==
''{Short opens with pan down to the field. Cut to a close-up of the Tragic Clown Dog's face. Zoom out to a medium shot of Strong Bad's face visible in an open flap of the costume, taking a drag off what appears to be a cigarette and exhaling audibly. Coach Z, wearing the Drive-Thru Whale costume, enters screen right.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Well, hey there, fellow mascot! I didn't know you was the smokin' type!

''{Cut to a close-up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whisperingly}'' Shh! I'm not! ''{normally}'' But Bubs only gives me one of each kind of break. I've already used pee, coffee, and ''{beat}'' maternity leave today. And this is a white crayon.

''{Cut to a medium shot. Homestar Runner enters screen left, wearing the Jolly Dumple costume.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What is up, my fellow sweat factories?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, I didn't know ''you'' were working today.

''{Close up of Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, it's freshman orientation. I'm in charge of orienting them freshly!

''{Cut to Homestar in the field with the CGNU tower visible in the back, and silhouettes of freshmen in the front. The words of Homestar's song are show at the bottom of the screen, with a ball bouncing as sings each word.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' You're gonna have to 
share a bafroom 
with some kid from Alabama 
that kinda sucks. 
The financial aid office 
is closed on Tuesdays 
and steer clear of the 
beef stroganoff at the 
dining hall!

''{Close-up of Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' C! G! N! ...U! ''{whispering}'' And then, and then you guys all say "Me?"

''{Cut back to medium shot.}''

'''FRESHMEN:''' ''{mumbling}'' No way, no way.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah, that's good, that's good. ''{dancing, quietly}'' We got spirit!

''{Cut back to Homestar and Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' At least you get college kids! I got little snot-butted kids messing with my costume all day!

''{Pan over to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' I used to have that prablem, too, but now I just swallow 'em up and spit 'em out in the baall baath! ''{throws several colored balls out from the mouth of his costume}''

''{Close-up of Coach Z. The top of his costume gains and loses bumps as an unseen child stuck in the costume knocks on it.} ''

'''CHILD:''' Mommy! Mommy! I don'— can't see!

'''COACH Z:''' Oop! Looks like I forgot one. He'll be fine for at least a week.

''{Cut back to medium shot of all three.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, where's Pom Pom, anyway?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, P-squared's not in the union. He doesn't even get a break.

''{Cut a low shot of Pom Pom strapped to the roof of Bubs' Concession Stand, with a sign that reads "RIGHT CAR! RIGHT PPICE!" }''

'''BUBS:''' What is wrong with you? Attract more customers! ''{Cut to an inflatable gorilla with glasses behind the [[Gremlin]] with a sign that reads "YOUR TEXT HERE!"}'' That gorilla's pulling his own!

''{Cut back to a close-up of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sniffing}'' Man, what ''is'' that smell?

''{Cut to a shot of all three}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, Homestar, we're three grown men working in mascot costumes in the dead of summer! What ''isn't'' that smell? ''{close up of Strong Bad}'' I can name about forty different odors emanating from this thing right now. There's death, rot, decay—

''{Cut to close up of Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' Damp, moist, kimchi!

''{Cut to a close up of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{holding yellow alarm clock, which rings once}'' Ah! It's time. ''{shot of all three}'' Let's do this.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as Homestar and Coach Z walk off}'' Ugh, not again....

''{Cut to a close-up of a speaker on a wooden pole}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' That's right, ladies and gentlemen! ''{Cut to a shot of The Announcer in the booth}'' For your between-inning unjoyment, it's the Bumbling Mascot Race Around the Field!

''{Matt and Mike sing "Yakety Sax" while Coach Z, Homestar, and Strong Bad randomly move around a baseball diamond.}''

''{Cut to the inflatable gorilla with a sign that reads "The Ending Here!"}''

'''MATT:''' Does it end different?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno. Let's do it again.

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on the Gorilla's mouth at the end to see an animation of a video game with the mascots.
*:''{A black screen with "GAME START!" appears. The mascots run around on platforms and ladders, referencing the old video game 'Burger Time', while Mike and Matt hum the theme music. Eventually, Mike stops humming. "GAME OVER" flashes on screen.}''
*:'''MATT:''' Go longer.
*:''{Mike starts and stops again}''
*:'''MATT:''' No, I mean you stopped longer.

*Click on the word "Here!" at the end to see Homestar and Coach Z (as Poppy and Stoppy, respectively, from [[theme park]]) have a conversation at Mount Ridesplace, USA. Music plays and a pink border is present.
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Man, these mascot costumes in Strong Bad's imagination are ''way'' better than the real-life ones!
*:'''COACH Z:''' Boy, I'll say! Mine's got a minibar and air conditionin'!
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' My ol' Dumple costume had air conditioning. It conditioned the air to think it smelled like... dead zut.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Kimchi|Kimchi]] is a pickled Korean dish made with beef stock, cabbage, and hot peppers, and is known for its distinctive pungent smell and mildly spicy taste.
*Mascots or other costumed figures are featured at [[Wikipedia:Sausage Race|several]] [[Wikipedia:Presidents Race|ballparks]] racing around the field between innings during baseball games.

===Remarks===
*The collar and tie on Strong Bad's costume have been moved down since their last appearance, to make room for the door.
*Although Strong Bad denies being a [[Smoking|smoker]], he's been seen smoking a cigar in [[Store Thank You Message]].
**In consideration that the costumes are likely made from [[Polymascotfoamalate]], smoking in one would be potentially dangerous (more so than usual), as seen in [[4 branches]].
*Strong Bad indicates that the three of them are grown men; a rare clue as to [[Ages of Characters|their relative ages]].
*Just as it was in [[Blubb-O's Commercial]], the Gremlin's passenger-side window is completely opaque and gray.
*When Strong Bad runs around at the end of the toon and in the Easter egg, the door on his costume switches sides whenever he turns around. However, the animation in these sequences seems to be intentionally poor.
*Even though Strong Bad says his "cigarette" is a white crayon, its tip seems to be smoking for some reason.
*Strong Bad has a much easier time walking in his costume than he did in [[part-time job]].

===Goofs===
*When Homestar is holding his alarm clock, there is a very thin white gap between the black border and the bottom of the green background.
*As Homestar walks away from Strong Bad, he vanishes shortly before he has walked completely offscreen.

===Inside References===
*The various costumes:
**Strong Bad appears as the [[Tragic Clown Dog]], seen in [[part-time job]]. (At the end of that email, however, he quit working for Bubs.)
**Coach Z appears as the [[Drive-Thru Whale]], from [[Blubb-O's Commercial]].
**Homestar once more wears his [[Jolly Dumple]] costume, first seen in [[mascot]]. (The sing-along style of Homestar's song, as well as the ending, are also references to this email.)
**In an Easter egg, Coach Z and Homestar appear as [[Strong Bad's Mount RidesPlace! USA#Mascots|Poppy]] the [[Tire]] and [[Strong Bad's Mount RidesPlace! USA#Mascots|Stoppy]] the [[Stop Sign]], who appeared in [[theme park]].
*The pink border in the [[Mount Ridesplace, USA]] Easter egg is from [[dreamail]].
*Strong Bad [[Smoking|smokes]] a white [[crayon]].
*The background music for Homestar's orientation song is the version of the CGNU Fight Song played by a high school band that was featured as the [[Quote of the Week#QW-2006-02-09|Quote of the Week]] on February 9, 2006.
*Strong Bad mentions "[[Peeing|pee]], [[coffee]], and [[Pregnancy|maternity leave]]" as the types of breaks he has taken that day.
*Homestar mentions [[sucks]] during his song.
*Coach Z mentions his smells as being [[moist]].
*"Kids from Alabama" were previously mentioned in [[An Important Rap Song]].

===Real-World References===
*The instrumental "[[Wikipedia:Yakety Sax|Yakety Sax]]" is sung while the mascots race around the Athletic Field.
*The Easter egg activated by clicking the gorilla's mouth is a parody of [[Wikipedia:BurgerTime|BurgerTime]].
*The [[page title]] is a reference to the band [[Wikipedia:Thinking Fellers Union Local 282|Thinking Fellers Union Local 282]].

Periodic Table Greg: /* The Cheat Smiling */

==Thumbs==
Does anyone notice Strong Sad's thumb in this short? It's placed in a slightly humaner position. It only applies to (our) right, but I think it's worth mentioning. [[User:Strong Intelligent|SI.com!]]

== Poopmail ==

I'm pretty sure that TBC speculated on the Poopsmith as the local mailman before, on some DVD commentary. Does anybody know which one it was and whether this should be mentioned in the article? --[[User:Cass from Germany|Cass from Germany]] 09:18, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
:In [[secret identity]]'s commentary, they speculated that [[Coach Z]] is the mailman. Is that the one you're referring to? [[User:Hagurumon|Hagurumon]] 09:26, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
::Oops, must have confused some things. Thanks for clearing that up! --[[User:Cass from Germany|Cass from Germany]] 09:44, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

== McDonald's Reference? ==
When Strong Bad says "The Compé, because flat-panel sophistication demands made-up words", is he referencing those McCafé commercials? Just a thought, {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 13:25, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
:I don't think so; Café is a real word, just with Mc in front. Compé is not a real word. {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 14:10, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
::But the commercials ''did'' make up fake words, other than just café. They replaced the "e" in regular words with "é" to form fake ones, like "commuté". Actually, I was reminded of those commercials, too! [[User:Hagurumon|Hagurumon]] 14:13, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

== The Cheat Smiling ==

Another instance of the cheat smiling. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 14:32, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

== Trivial Trvia ==

'''Eighty-thousand pennies is 800 dollars.'''

Is this obvious fact really necessary? --[[User:Periodic Table Greg|Periodic Table Greg]] 14:44, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Gunhaver

2009-06-01T16:55:51Z

Periodic Table Greg: a little rewording

[[Image:Gunhaver.PNG|thumb|right|220px|Gunhaver on patrol]]

Charles '''Gunhaver''' is the erstwhile leader of the [[Cheat Commandos]]. Among his mission credits are leading an action figure storage vehicle attack on [[Blue Laser]], leading a search party to uncover Blue Laser's [[secret desert headquarters]], and staving off the danger of Blue Laser saving money at [[Price Style]]. Certain parts of the cartoon [[Let us give TANKS!]] strongly suggest that the rest of the Cheat Commandos regard Gunhaver as possibly ''too'' enthusiastic about his duties. He makes a cameo in an Easter egg in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]]. A [[running gag]] surrounding him is people will usually [[Gunhaver's Name|flub his name]].

As his name (pronounced as "Gun Havver") and a claim on his box each suggest, Gunhaver has a [[Gunhaver's Gun|semi-automatic pistol]]. The gun was seen hanging on the wall and labeled by [[Reynold]] in [[Shopping for Danger]]. Gunhaver was actually shown brandishing it (to the astonishment of [[Blue Laser Commander]]) in "Let us give TANKS!".

Gunhaver is voiced by [[Crack Stuntman]], who has difficulty remembering his character's name, calling him such names as "Gun-hay-ver" and "the gun-shaver". According to [[The Next Epi-Snowed]], Crack Stuntman often attempts to change his character's lines and introduce odd and self-serving turns into the story. For example, Gunhaver's (and the Cheat Commandos') [[catch phrase]] is "[[Rock rock on!]]", but in [[An Important Rap Song]], Gunhaver says it is now "Riggidy roll!".

After growing tired of Stuntman's demands, [[A. Chimendez]] sent Gunhaver on "a secret mission to the moon for an undisclosed period of time" and "when he gets back his voice might have changed". Crack was given his job back in [[Pistols for Pandas]], however.

Gunhaver was the leader of the Cheat Commandos until he was releived of his command by [[Flashfight]] in [[2 Part Episode: Part 1]].

In "Let Us Give TANKS!", Blue Laser Commander calls him Charles when asking him to play a song. He is again referred to as Charles in [[2 Part Episode: Part 1]]

Gunhaver is a direct parody of [[Wikipedia:Duke (G.I. Joe)|Duke]] from GI Joe, complete with a [[Wikipedia:John Wayne|John Wayne]] voice.

Gunhaver is one of the Cheat Commandos featured in the first Cheat Commandos [[Store Toys|figurine set]].

'''GUNHAVER:''' Making sense is ''not'' part of my mission plan, soldier! I'm sticking with the "do".

''{Cut to the front door. It opens, revealing Flashfight.}''

'''ALL:''' ''{gasping}''

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' I can't believe I'm seeing this sight. Why if it isn't Admiral Flashfight!

'''GUNHAVER:''' To what do we owe the pleasure, admiral?

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' I'm here to clean up your act, Cheat Commandos. The Bureau of Elite Fighting Forces ''{holds up a "'''B'''ureau of '''E'''lite '''F'''ighting '''F'''orces" badge}'', or "BEEF", is not impressed with your—

'''SILENT RIP:''' ''{interrupting}'' Uh, that's "BEFF".

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' Alright, the Bureau of ''Every'' Elite Fighting Force, is not—

'''SILENT RIP:''' ''{interrupting again}'' That's "BEEFF". ''{exaggerates the last F}''

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' Yes, and what is your name, soldier?

'''SILENT RIP:''' ''{saluting}'' Silent Rip, sir!

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' Thank you, Smiley Drip. You're fired.

'''ALL:''' ''{gasping}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{nervously}'' Uh, good call, sir. That guy was always ''way'' too concerned with acronyms. Who else can we fire?

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' Well, ''you'', of course.

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''Me''? But then ''{pulls out his gun}'' who will have gun?

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' ''{taking the gun}'' I will!

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{shaking}'' Buh-buh-buh.... Wuh-wuh-wuh? Zuh-zuh-zuh...

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' You're allowed to stand there stammering for fifteen more minutes ''{two Green Helmets walk up beside Gunhaver}'' and then you will be escorted out by Green Helmets.

'''GUNHAVER:''' Have you no dignity? At least let a Cheat Commanding Officer be escorted out by someone who isn't available in a discount three pack.

''{Cut to a product shot of a discount three pack of Green Helmet toys. The Cheat Commandos theme plays in the background. Then cut back to the headquarters.}''

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' My first act as new head of Cheat Commandos will be... to arrest Blue Laser!

'''ALL:''' ''{gasping}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Oh, I'd ''love'' to see how you're gonna pull ''that'' one off.

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' Well, it appears ''you'' all have invited him over to play televised video games.

''{Cut to the Blue Laser Commander, sitting in a beanbag, pressing buttons on a controller. Videogame music plays in the background.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' What kind of power-up is "moist beam"?

''{Cut back to the commandos. Fightgar is standing in front of Flashfight, holding a gun.}''

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' You're under arrest, Blue Laser!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' I thought we called a time-out!

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' ''{to Fightgar}'' Throw him in the brig!

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Uh, you mean Reynold's office?

''{Blue Laser is thrown into a small room, completely empty except for a toilet leaking green sludge. An emaciated Reynold walks in.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Well, hello! Are you here to bring me the slightest morsel?

''{A prison door shuts in front of both of them. Cut back to the main room.}''

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' Blue Laser in jail? I can't believe what I'm seein'! It's almost got my pants a-peein'! Hoo hoo! Hah! Hweigh Hweigh!

'''FLASHFIGHT:''' Oh right, I nearly forgot. You're ''definitely'' fired.

''{Sad reaction shot from Crackotage. Cut to the outside of the headquarters, as Gunhaver, Silent Rip and Crackotage walk out.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Well, I guess this is it, huh guys?

'''GUNHAVER:''' Forget that noise! Who needs the Cheat Commandos anyway? We'll start our ''own'' elite fighting force!

''{The Cheat Commandos theme plays as the three march off screen. The theme then abruptly stops with a record scratch as we cut to Gunhaver and Silent Rip in a kitchen, wearing white hats with pictures of pizza on them.}''

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' ''{leaning in}'' Drop two more orders of wings for table four!

'''SILENT RIP:''' Comin' up!

''{Close up on Gunhaver, who is reading the "Commando Obsoiver" newspaper. The headline is "Cheat Commandos Actually Doing Stuff".}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{reading angrily}'' "Cheat Commandos save bus full of hostages". "Air drop relief supplies to refugees". "Build orphanage". What type of crap is that?

''{Reynold's brother leans in, wearing a "Mr. Manager" badge, and three pizza hats on various spikes of his hairdo.}''

'''REYNOLD'S BROTHER:''' Get back to work, Charles.

'''GUNHAVER:''' Stupid old man Reynold's younger brother. Who needs him anyway? We'll start our ''own'' restaurant!

''{Cut to a storefront, with a sign reading "Kitchen Commandos". The Cheat Commandos theme plays again.}''

'''SINGER:''' Kitchen Commandos, a really bad idea. It closed down after three months!

''{Pan down to street level. Signs in the windows of the shop read "we are CLOSED!" and "thank you neighborhood for 3 glorious months!". Gunhaver, Silent Rip and Crackotage are standing sadly on the street.}''

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' Well, whatta we do now?

'''GUNHAVER:''' There's only one thing ''to'' do. In order to show the C. C.dos how much they need us, we're going to bust Blue Laser out of jail!

''{Suspenseful music sting. Cut to the brig, with Reynold and the Blue Laser Commander.}''

'''REYNOLD:''' ...and they never let me go on any missions.

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Ouch, man. I hear that. Ever thought about Blue Lasin' it?

''{The Blue Laser Commander pulls out a pamphlet, with the cover "So, They Never Let You Go On Any Missions... BL Can Help!"}''

'''REYNOLD:''' ''{thoughtfully}'' Hmmm...

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

'''SILENT RIP:''' Break into the headquarters playset? Impossible!

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' Maybe for us, but not for... my evil twin brother, Subtlefuge!

''{Suspenseful music sting plays again.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Huh?

'''GUNHAVER:''' Eh?

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' The leader of the Topplegangers!

''{The first part of the suspenseful sting plays. Crickets sound in the background.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Uh...

'''GUNHAVER:''' Still nothin'.

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' The sometimes-good-guys sometimes-bad-guys whose only loyalty is to the highest bidder?

'''SILENT RIP:''' Oh!

'''GUNHAVER:''' Yeah! And ''they'' can help us open a new restaurant!

'''SILENT RIP:''' ''{sighing}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Cheat No-mandos... be continued!

''{Cut to black. The words "Buy all our playsets and toys" start to appear.}''

'''SINGER:''' Buy all our playset-

''{The music is cut off and the words disappear, replaced with "To be continued..." and a suspenseful musical sting.}''
