'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing, types "run Strongbad's__email"}'' I'm gonna check my email all of the time, doo doo doo...

<blockquote class="tandy email">Hi Strong Bad, 
If you hate Homsar so much, 
why don't you kill him? 
-Vinnie C.</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says the last line as "From Vinnie C."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know what, Vinnie? You're right. I'll be right back. ''{gets up}''

''{Cut to Homsar standing in the Field. Strong Bad enters the frame in the foreground.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Homsar!

'''HOMSAR:''' ''{faces Strong Bad}'' Uhdyeah, what ees it, Strong Baaaaayaad?

''{Strong Bad leaves the frame and the Heavy Lourde falls on Homsar, completely crushing him. Cut back to Tandy 400.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sits down, typing}'' Oh man, Vinnie. That feels so much better. Thanks a lot! ''{stops typing}'' Okay, so until next time, keep sending me your questions, and I will keep making fun of your punctuation and spelling. I mean, answer them.

[[Image:Sbemail2 old emails button.PNG|150px|thumb|"old emails" button]]
===Trivia===
*This is the first email in which Strong Bad makes fun of someone's [[Poorly Written Emails|spelling]].
*This is also the first email that shows an area outside of the [[computer room]].
*This is the first email where a character other than Strong Bad appears.
*This marks the first appearances of Homsar and the [[Heavy Lourde]].
*The back button at the end of this email used to go to the games menu instead of the Strong Bad Email menu (an "old emails" button used to be present that would link to the old emails). After [[flashback]] was released, [[The Brothers Chaps]] removed the old emails button and fixed the back link.
*The conclusion is a reworded version of the one in [[some kinda robot]].
*This email introduces Homsar, who later becomes one of the main [[characters]].
*The contrast buttons moved in this email.

=== Remarks ===
* Strong Bad's mouth doesn't move when he says "doo doo doo."
* The Flash file for this email is the smallest in terms of file size at just over 100 kilobytes.
* The Heavy Lourde falls from [[Hammerspace|nowhere]].

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad's mask doesn't have laces on the back of it when he goes outside.
*Strong Bad's neck cannot be seen when he pulls away from the Tandy.

===Fast Forward===
*In [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0]], Homsar leaves a message thanking [[Marzipan]] for the flowers she sent him while he was in the hospital. It's implied that he was in the hospital because the Heavy Lourde had been dropped on him in this email.

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!

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{shouting}'' ONE TWO THREE FOUR—

''{Strong Bad starts singing hard rock with instruments in the background, and the following words appear as they are said:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 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 the email in his abandoned Mexican accent, however, the text is in the style of the Tandy, and it is in fact the [[some kinda robot|very first e-mail]] he ever did.}''

<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 stops reading at "before you go to".}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ...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."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{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.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Right side: WOOOOOAHH—

''{the right side of the screen starts to expand, then abruptly bounces out to its full extent, revealing Homestar.}''

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

''{The screen shows 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}''

''{The page turns to show the egg broken, and with a bunch of fish sticks inside it.}''

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. The page turns 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 [[Old Intro|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 floor 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 pixelated fireworks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the— Whoa! 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! Email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email...

''{As Strong Bad continues, [[The Paper]] comes down}''


'''STRONG BAD:''' ...email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email eMAIL-a email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email-mail-nahduhluh email email email email e-meh-meh-meh-meh-mail email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email-mail email email email email email email email EMAIL! ''{takes a big breath}'' Ooh. I'm pa— I'm parched. ''{wheezes}'' I need a glass of water.

''{A pixelated glass of water appears onscreen.}''

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*To "stick in one's craw" is an [[Wikipedia:Idiom|idiom]] referring to a behavior or act that one can not tolerate. It originated as a literal statement, such as a stone being stuck in the [[Wikipedia:Crop (anatomy)|craw]] of a bird; the stone is impossible to swallow, or tolerate.
*High-speed [[Wikipedia:Dubbing (music)|dubbing]] is a feature of many dual-cassette [[Wikipedia:Boombox|boomboxes]] that enables the user to copy one [[Wikipedia:Compact Cassette|cassette tape]] to another at a higher speed than normal playback speed, albeit with less accuracy.
*A "[[Wikipedia:Doppelgänger|doppelgänger]]" is commonly known as a "copy" of someone.
*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.

===Trivia===
[[Image:Homestar Sandals.jpg|thumb|Homestar with sandals and a (green) duckie shirt]]
*At 5 minutes in length, this was longest Strong Bad Email when it was released, and is the longest [[Compy 386]]-era email.
*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 [[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 almost 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!!!]].
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#Cave Quest|Cave Quest]]".
*This is the first time a character has mentioned [[Free Country, USA]].
*Strong Bad ''actually'' says the word "email" exactly 100 times.
*This is the debut of [[live action]] in the Homestar Runner universe.
*This email and [[retirement]] are tied for the most Easter eggs in any email to date, with eight. They're second on the site total, tied with [[Halloween Fairstival]] and [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]]. The toon with the most Easter eggs is [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]] with 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, as revealed in the [[Flashforward Interview - 10 Feb 2006|Flashforward Interview]].
*The font used on "The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck in his Craw" is [[Fonts#B|Bauhaus 93]], the same font used on [[Homsar]]'s shirt. The Bauhaus 93 font is very common throughout the site.

===Remarks===
*It is debatable whether the story in the book really "happened", since Strong Bad could be [[History according to Strong Bad|making it up]]. Homestar verifies the tale, but this may just be typical, dense Homestar behavior.
*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 in the flashback, for some reason, sounds nothing like the real Strong Bad from [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]]-era cartoons. Old Strong Bad's manner of speaking was very loud and dramatic (almost overacted), and he had a strong Mexican accent. Tiny Handed 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).
* Strong Bad walks ten steps before he even crosses the starting line.
*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!"
**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!!!]]
*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 the email answered while the clip was in fast forward is counted), and he (sort of) answered more than one in [[huttah!]] (although he didn't answer any in [[anything]] or [[mile]]). Depending on one's definition of "answering" an email, he read extras in [[spring cleaning]] (although they were promptly deleted). In [[sisters]] he accidentally deleted one email, then responded to and accidentally saved a second. If each toon is counted as an email, 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 [[TV Time Toons Menu]] and never before seen emails in [[personal favorites]], but these could just be [[History according to Strong Bad|false history]]. 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.
**In addition, he answered about half the emails on the [[Tandy 400]], so unless he transferred the memory somehow, the Compy should not have been able to know.
*Mary, in the Limozeen Easter egg, is wearing a [[Store Accessories#Baseball Caps|Strong Bad baseball cap]].
*The Old-Timey Strong Bad Easter egg contradicts [[That A Ghost]], in which Old-Timey Strong Bad's mustache is depicted as having a skeletal structure. The Easter egg shows it as hair.
*In the Limozeen Easter egg, Gary and Mary do not seem to be in sync with Larry during their congratulation and start reacting to Larry's line "We're from the band Limozeen!" before he even begins to say it.
**This is due to the fact that all four members of Limozeen are being portrayed by [[Matt Chapman]] and, despite using computer effects to overlay the footage of each member, Gary and Mary's timing was not completely perfect when they were recorded.
*At times, the legs on the left-hand side of Strong Bad's desk rest on an uncarpetted area, however in this email they are resting on carpet.
*Homestar sits down on the floor, but he does not seem to have a bottom, as his legs bend up into his shirt.
**This was also seen in [[extra plug]].
*In the Easter egg, before she starts speaking, Marzipan's mouth looks like her [[Marzipan Evolution|third design's mouth]]. Once she begins talking, it becomes the current style mouth again.
*The characters who didn't appear in the [[original book]] take their designs from the [[Sketchbook (museum)|museum sketch book]]; they include Marzipan, Strong Mad, Strong Sad, and Bubs.

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad says, "Keep up the pace, gotta break 4:40", there is no period at the end of the sentence.
*When Strong Mad breaks the [[egg]], it cracks open, but nothing appears to be inside. In the next frame, "the lifetime supply of fishsticks" suddenly appears inside the egg.
*When Homestar says "Read me another one. Another one!", the outline on his head moves.
*At the very end of the email, changing the contrast on the Compy does not affect the glass of water on the screen.
*"Svelt", as it is spelled in the book, is actually spelled as "svelte".
*The bows of Senor Cardgage's glasses are missing.
*When the Limozeen Easter egg is playing it is still possible to press the other Easter eggs, making them play in the background.

===Glitches===
*When Strong Bad shifts the screen left, the carpet appears to slide to the right, moving without the stool and the table.
*When Homestar looks down in sadness (before Strong Bad shifts himself to the left to start the flashback), the lining for his head pops out of his shirt.

===Inside References===
*The word "WEiRD" appearing at the beginning of the email is another instance of [[lowercase i's]].
*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]].
*Homestar's comment about being behind the black is a [[Fourth Wall Break]].
*Old-style Marzipan, Strong Sad, and Strong Mad are from the [[Sketchbook (museum)|concept sketches]].
*Old-style Coach Z and Bubs are from "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]."
*This marks another instance of Homestar Runner being referred to as [[Prancing|prancy]].
*Present in the flashback are [[Mr. Bland]] and [[Señor]], who haven't been seen since [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]].
*This is another example of [[mashing]].
*The [[Telebision|TV]] in the Discount Flashback Warehouse egg is from the old [[Telebision Toons Menu]].
*The two emails in the Discount Flashback Warehouse egg are [[different town]] and [[band names]].
*Senor Cardgage's use of the word "combolations" is a reference to the ending credits in [[japanese cartoon]].
*In the Senor Cardgage Easter egg, Strong Bad says "Man, so cool!" He previously said this in [[kind of cool]].
*In her Easter egg, Marzipan refers to her [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|answering machine feature]] on the site.
**At the time this email was released, there were 10 answering machine versions.
*Coach Z goes to "[[Showering|shower up]]."
*In the Limozeen Easter egg, the band plays ''[[Because It's Midnite]]''.
*Strong Bad pulls "The Homestar Runner gets something stuck in his craw" out of [[hammerspace]].
*The melty candy bar Senor Cardgage holds up near the end is a [[Zagnut bar]].

=== Real-World References ===
*"Put your weight on it!" was a famous line from the [[Wikipedia:Dolemite|Dolemite]] movie ''Disco Godfather.''
*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 Perry is holding is a [[Wikipedia:Fender|Fender]] Jazz-Bass.
**It may also be a [[Wikipedia:Jackson Kelly|Jackson KE3 Kelly]] model.

===Fast Forward===
*Prancibald appears as a trading card name in [[trading cards]].
*The duckie shirt makes an appearance in [[your funeral]].
*Widescreen would later be used in [[virus]].
*[[The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck In His Craw]] is eventually read to Homestar.
*The Limozeen Easter egg is ripped off and dubbed over for the 200th email, [[email thunder]].

== 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.
*The email is presented letterboxed (black bars at the top and bottom) to maintain the widescreen ratio, so it may appear smaller in comparison to other cartoons on the DVD.
*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.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD''': ''{shouting}'' ONE TWO THREE FOUR—

''{Strong Bad starts singing hard rock with instruments in the background, and the following words appear as they are said:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 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 the email in his abandoned Mexican accent, however, the text is in the style of the Tandy, and it is in fact the [[some kinda robot|very first e-mail]] he ever did.}''

<blockquote class="compy 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 stops reading at "before you go to".}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ...dajede...wait a minute! ''{hits Compy, the text fixes itself to be a new email}'' There we go!

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="tandy 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."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{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.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Right side: WOOOOOAHH—

''{the right side of the screen starts to expand, then abruptly bounces out to its full extent, revealing Homestar.}''

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

''{The screen shows 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}''

''{The page turns to show the egg broken, and with a bunch of fish sticks inside it.}''

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. The page turns 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 [[Old Intro|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 floor 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 pixelated fireworks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the— Whoa! 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! Email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email...

''{As Strong Bad continues, [[The Paper]] comes down}''


'''STRONG BAD:''' ...email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email eMAIL-a email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email-mail-nahduhluh email email email email e-meh-meh-meh-meh-mail email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email email-mail email email email email email email email EMAIL! ''{takes a big breath}'' Ooh. I'm pa— I'm parched. ''{wheezes}'' I need a glass of water.

''{A pixelated glass of water appears onscreen.}''

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*To "stick in one's craw" is an [[Wikipedia:Idiom|idiom]] referring to a behavior or act that one can not tolerate. It originated as a literal statement, such as a stone being stuck in the [[Wikipedia:Crop (anatomy)|craw]] of a bird; the stone is impossible to swallow, or tolerate.
*High-speed [[Wikipedia:Dubbing (music)|dubbing]] is a feature of many dual-cassette [[Wikipedia:Boombox|boomboxes]] that enables the user to copy one [[Wikipedia:Compact Cassette|cassette tape]] to another at a higher speed than normal playback speed, albeit with less accuracy.
*A "[[Wikipedia:Doppelgänger|doppelgänger]]" is commonly known as a "copy" of someone.
*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.

===Trivia===
[[Image:Homestar Sandals.jpg|thumb|Homestar with sandals and a (green) duckie shirt]]
*At 5 minutes in length, this was longest Strong Bad Email when it was released, and is the longest [[Compy 386]]-era email.
*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 [[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 almost 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!!!]].
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#Cave Quest|Cave Quest]]".
*This is the first time a character has mentioned [[Free Country, USA]].
*Strong Bad ''actually'' says the word "email" exactly 100 times.
*This is the debut of [[live action]] in the Homestar Runner universe.
*This email and [[retirement]] are tied for the most Easter eggs in any email to date, with eight. They're second on the site total, tied with [[Halloween Fairstival]] and [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]]. The toon with the most Easter eggs is [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]] with 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, as revealed in the [[Flashforward Interview - 10 Feb 2006|Flashforward Interview]].
*The font used on "The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck in his Craw" is [[Fonts#B|Bauhaus 93]], the same font used on [[Homsar]]'s shirt.

===Remarks===
*It is debatable whether the story in the book really "happened", since Strong Bad could be [[History according to Strong Bad|making it up]]. Homestar verifies the tale, but this may just be typical, dense Homestar behavior.
*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 in the flashback, for some reason, sounds nothing like the real Strong Bad from [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]]-era cartoons. Old Strong Bad's manner of speaking was very loud and dramatic (almost overacted), and he had a strong Mexican accent. Tiny Handed 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).
* Strong Bad walks ten steps before he even crosses the starting line.
*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!"
**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!!!]]
*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 the email answered while the clip was in fast forward is counted), and he (sort of) answered more than one in [[huttah!]] (although he didn't answer any in [[anything]] or [[mile]]). Depending on one's definition of "answering" an email, he read extras in [[spring cleaning]] (although they were promptly deleted). In [[sisters]] he accidentally deleted one email, then responded to and accidentally saved a second. If each toon is counted as an email, 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 [[TV Time Toons Menu]] and never before seen emails in [[personal favorites]], but these could just be [[History according to Strong Bad|false history]]. 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.
**In addition, he answered about half the emails on the [[Tandy 400]], so unless he transferred the memory somehow, the Compy should not have been able to know.
*Mary, in the Limozeen Easter egg, is wearing a [[Store Accessories#Baseball Caps|Strong Bad baseball cap]].
*The Old-Timey Strong Bad Easter egg contradicts [[That A Ghost]], in which Old-Timey Strong Bad's mustache is depicted as having a skeletal structure. The Easter egg shows it as hair.
*In the Limozeen Easter egg, Gary and Mary do not seem to be in sync with Larry during their congratulation and start reacting to Larry's line "We're from the band Limozeen!" before he even begins to say it.
**This is due to the fact that all four members of Limozeen are being portrayed by [[Matt Chapman]] and, despite using computer effects to overlay the footage of each member, Gary and Mary's timing was not completely perfect when they were recorded.
*At times, the legs on the left-hand side of Strong Bad's desk rest on an uncarpetted area, however in this email they are resting on carpet.
*Homestar sits down on the floor, but he does not seem to have a bottom, as his legs bend up into his shirt.
**This was also seen in [[extra plug]].
*In the Easter egg, before she starts speaking, Marzipan's mouth looks like her [[Marzipan Evolution|third design's mouth]]. Once she begins talking, it becomes the current style mouth again.
*The characters who didn't appear in the [[original book]] take their designs from the [[Sketchbook (museum)|museum sketch book]]; they include Marzipan, Strong Mad, Strong Sad, and Bubs.

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad says, "Keep up the pace, gotta break 4:40", there is no period at the end of the sentence.
*When Strong Mad breaks the [[egg]], it cracks open, but nothing appears to be inside. In the next frame, "the lifetime supply of fishsticks" suddenly appears inside the egg.
*When Homestar says "Read me another one. Another one!", the outline on his head moves.
*At the very end of the email, changing the contrast on the Compy does not affect the glass of water on the screen.
*"Svelt", as it is spelled in the book, is actually spelled as "svelte".
*The bows of Senor Cardgage's glasses are missing.
*When the Limozeen Easter egg is playing it is still possible to press the other Easter eggs, making them play in the background.

===Glitches===
*When Strong Bad shifts the screen left, the carpet appears to slide to the right, moving without the stool and the table.
*When Homestar looks down in sadness (before Strong Bad shifts himself to the left to start the flashback), the lining for his head pops out of his shirt.

===Inside References===
*The word "WEiRD" appearing at the beginning of the email is another instance of [[lowercase i's]].
*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]].
*Homestar's comment about being behind the black is a [[Fourth Wall Break]].
*Old-style Marzipan, Strong Sad, and Strong Mad are from the [[Sketchbook (museum)|concept sketches]].
*Old-style Coach Z and Bubs are from "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]."
*This marks another instance of Homestar Runner being referred to as [[Prancing|prancy]].
*Present in the flashback are [[Mr. Bland]] and [[Señor]], who haven't been seen since [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]].
*This is another example of [[mashing]].
*The [[Telebision|TV]] in the Discount Flashback Warehouse egg is from the old [[Telebision Toons Menu]].

=== 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.

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Five}}

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' When email comes to town, you know, you know, it's like a rainstorm... in your browser. ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: theme song</div>
Dear Super Bad, 
It bugs me how your email show doesn't have a theme song. 
If it did have a theme song, your show would be a whole 
lot cooler. 
Jonathan Shaheen 
Ontario, Canada
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronouces "Shaheen" as "Shaheeeeen", and lens flares and a sound effect appear over the name. He pronounces the location as "on-ta-REE-oh, cah-nah-DAH" (as though with a Mexican accent)}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh, a little south of the border flavor. ''{typing}'' Dear Supper Bag, It bugs ''me'' how your face doesn't have a not tons of acne. If it did have a not tons of acne, ''you'' would be a whole lot cooler.

''{Strong Bad clears the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Look, you don't know what you're talking about, Shaheen ''{again, Strong Bad pronounces "Shaheen" as "Shaheeeen", and the Shaheen special effect appears over the word}''  Theme songs are just an excuse for showmakers to make less show. I'm sure viewership would triple if I had one of those crappy cartoon theme songs that bludgeons you over the head with the blunt end of the show's premise.

''{Theme song music fades in over his last words. Cut to a smiling Strong Bad prancing in the basement.}''

'''CRAPPY CARTOON THEME SONG:''' ''{singing}'' 
Strong Bad is a wrestleman, 
He's the email-checkinest guy in the land. 
He checks real emails from the net, 
He's got two brothers and The Cheat, his pet. The Cheat, his pet!!! 

''{"STRONG BAD" appears on the screen as the name is sung. Strong Bad types with boxing gloves on. Lappy flies into the screen, showing an email from punkkid87.}''

<blockquote class="lappy email" style="background-image:none">
Dear Strong Bad, 
I love your Tragdor! 
Draw him AGAIN!!! 
-punkkid87
</blockquote>

''{Strong Mad and Strong Sad dance in Club Technochocolate as they are announced. The Cheat slides into the screen, wearing cool shades and gets a close-up with the words "THE CHEAT, HIS PET!!!".}''

There's nobody dumber than Homestar Runner 
On ''The Strong Bad Email Show''!

''{Homestar Runner breaks through the computer desk with a sandwich of light bulbs, opens his mouth wide, revealing large cartoon teeth, and bites into the sandwich. The title of the Strong Bad Email Show appears with Strong Bad's smiling face in front of a pink heart design.}''

''{The music ends. Cut back to Strong Bad sitting in front of the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And the ratings have gone through the roof. And let's not forget the life-affirming pop-ballad type theme song. Probably sung by some variety of Neville.

''{Fade through black to a scene with an unattended computer desk. The title "the Strong Bad Email Show" flies onto the screen. There are flowers on the desk and pictures of The Cheat, Strong Mad and Strong Bad on the wall. The characters are introduced with their pictures flying across the screen and their names appearing across them. Strong Bad shows a shadow [[Trogdor]] to The Cheat.}''

'''POP BALLAD-TYPE THEME SONG:''' ''{singing}'' 
You and me, babe, livin' for dreams, 
Lifin' for love, drinkin' for free. 
Sittin' on top of an old robot, sharin' and carin' it out. 
The memory's scrubbing you down! ''{fades}''

''{The music fades out and a clip montage starts, as Strong Bad's voiceover begins. Strong Bad is shown drinking a mix of coffee and a "COLDSON Lite" from a novelty drinking hat in the basement with The Cheat and Strong Sad; he floats in space; he looks up from typing on his laptop and throws a stack of paper in the air.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And of course the best clips they show are from the un-aired pilot that you'll never see.

'''POP BALLAD-TYPE THEME SONG:''' ''{singing}'' 
Memory scrubbing you down! ''{fade out}''

''{The final shot shows Strong Bad in a tank before the clip montage fades out to "created by Lem Sportsinterviews".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And just when you think you finally get to start watching some of the actual show, now you get to watch a commercial!

''{Cut to real-life hands holding coins and peanuts.}''

'''COMMERCIAL GUY 1:''' ''{voiceover}'' Do you make butt at your current job?

''{"$BUTT" is stamped on the screen}''

'''COMMERCIAL GUY 1:''' Do you want to make twice butt?

''{Cut to a Cakkalate brand calculator displaying "BUTT X 2" upside-down. It rotates counterclockwise 180 degrees. Cut to the CGNU online e-niversity: "website Coming Soon(ish)!" "Check back after all the bowl games ;)".}''

'''COMMERCIAL GUY 1:''' A shady online degree is just four clicks away at CGNU online e-niversity.

''{Four cursors appear. Cut to a wooden wall. A set of college flags appear.}''

'''COMMERCIAL GUY 1:''' Most colleges take four years to complete.

''{Cut to a hand with a mouse against a purple background. The hand clicks the mouse button four times, causing the words "FRESHMAN!" "SOPHOMORE!" "JUNIOR!" "SENIOR!" to appear one after the other in increasing font size.}''

'''COMMERCIAL GUY 1:''' At CGNU, one year equals one click.

''{Cut to a mortarboard flying through the air. Cut to Senor Cardgage wearing a blue baseball cap in front of some boxes. His degrees are displayed on the screen as he moves his hand down.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' I got fourteen degrees while on my lunch take. Now I can legally prescribe marriages in the state of Kansattica.

''{Cut to a blue background repeating the word "LEGITIMATE". An "(On)line CGNU e-NIVERSITY" medallion with four cursors rolls in. The words "Join the e-NIVERSITY e-VOLUTION e-DAY" appear in a blue font as Commercial Guy 1 says them, along with "Banner ad valorum".}''

'''COMMERCIAL GUY 1:''' ''{voiceover}'' Enroll now, and join the e-niversity e-volution e-day. Uh, well, today. ''{the word TODAY!!" appears over "e-DAY" in a yellow font}'' That last one didn't quite work out.

''{Fade through black to a Powered By The Cheat-style intertitle showing Strong Bad chasing his laptop.}''

'''FEMALE ANNOUNCER 1:''' ''{voiceover}'' We'll be right back with more ''Strong Bad Emails''.

''{Cut to balding man standing in front of a newspaper background.}''

'''COMMERCIAL GUY 2:''' ''{voiceover}'' Do you wanna cut your own arm off?

'''BALDING MAN:''' ''{loud, long sigh}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Now, don't worry. Just in case you were hoping to get gipped out of another minute of actual show, you get to hear the jazzy instrumental version over the end credits!

''{A jazzy instrumental version of the pop ballad theme song is played. Cut to Strong Bad talking into a microphone in front of Bubs' concession stand at night. End credits are shown over the scene.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And on the off-chance that you actually wanted to hear the theme song... we've taken care of that, too.

''{A program preview with the logo for ''Three is 4 Tonite'' moves into the screen and squeezes the Strong Bad Email Show end credits into the left third of the screen. The music is faded significantly. The Action Cool News 5 logo slides in. As the announcer announces ''Three is 4 Tonite'', the faces of the four main characters appear, as well as the text "Weeknights at 7:30, 8:00, 9:30, 11:00, 11:30.}''

'''ANNOUNCER 2:''' ''{voiceover}'' Coming up later on ''Three is 4 Tonite'': join Mandy, Brandy, Andy, and Scurge, as they learn how to give a care. But first...

''{Cut to the words "Coming Up Next..."}''

'''ANNOUNCER 2:''' They're tiny, they're toony, they're ''all'' a little loony.

''{The graphics for the ''Cheat Commandos'' show Reynold being taped to a rocket and Fightgar checking the tape. The Cheat Commandos logo appears with the text "Weekdays at right now".}''

'''ANNOUNCER 2:''' It's the Cheat Commandos.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You see, Shaheen? ''{yet again, Strong Bad pronounces "Shaheen" as "Shaheeeen", and the Shaheen special effect appears}'' You're basically asking me to dedicate 2 minutes of my 3 to 5 minute email show, to what is essentially a commercial for something you're already watching! And besides, I give you people a new sbemail song every freakin' week. Allow me to leave you with the old standard 'When Email Comes to Town, You Know, You Know, It's Like a Rainstorm... In Your Browser.' ''{stops typing and starts singing}'' When email comes to town, you know, you know, it's like a rainstorm... in your browser.

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

''{Funky theme song music is played and credits scroll by, while the Powered by The Cheat show preview squeezes into the screen; A red curtain is visible with spot lights moving over it. The text "Next! All new Powered By The Cheat!!! Later... Incredibly Local News" and the Action Cool News 5 logo slide in.}''

'''ANNOUNCER 3:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''{chuckles}'' Next up on ''Powered By The Cheat'': Strong Mad gets his own talk show.

''{"Strong Mad's Evening Hour" appears, followed by Powered by The Cheat Strong Mad (and his mouth and hands).}''

'''ANNOUNCER 3:''' And his first guest is hilarity!

''{Cut to Powered by The Cheat Strong Mad sitting behind a late night talk show host desk in front of a skyline. The guest with a The Cheat face and glasses appears in his seat, wobbling, before suddenly appearing up-close to the camera, laughing and bouncing up and down for a few seconds.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on the talk show guest's [[The Cheat's Gold Tooth|gold tooth]] at the end of the email to see the Shaheen special effect.

==Fun Facts==

*The website for CGNU (http://www.cgnuonline-eniversity.edu/) does not exist, as only actual educational institutions can register .edu addresses. However, a fan has registered http://www.cgnuonline-eniversity.com/, and recreated the page seen in the email; the list of degrees can be found by clicking on the exclamation point after "website Coming Soon(ish)"
*"We'll be right back with more Strong Bad Email" is voiced by [[Jackie Chapman]], as revealed in the DVD commentary.
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed read, "Yeah, how come Strong Bad's email show doesn't have a theme song?"

===Remarks===
*"BUTT X 2" is the display on the calculator held upside down. It is not possible for most calculators to display "U" and "T" upside down (the typed numbers would have to be similar to a lowercase "N" and two "L"s back to back).
*During the Crappy Cartoon theme song, the "Trogdor" email on the Lappy is displayed with the [[font]] from the [[Compy 386]], instead of the Lappy's current font, Glitch0.
*The Cheat wears [[Cool Shades|cool shades]] during the first theme song.
*The four characters of Three is 4 Tonite all have the same faces but different hair styles that were apparently added on to the original photo.
*Even though he is the Cheat's best friend, this is the first time Strong Mad is mentioned in a Powered By The Cheat.
*If the shots in the "Neville" theme song version are from the unaired pilot it would mean that Strong Bad had the [[Lappy 486]] before he had the [[Tandy 400]].
*'Kansattica' where Senor Cardgage can legally prescribe marriages is a [[portmanteau]] of Kansas and Attica, a reference to Attica, KS, a small town in south-central Kansas about 60 miles southwest of Wichita. It may also refer to Attica, a region in Greece.

===Goofs===
[[Image:SBETheme Song Goof.PNG|thumb|Mouthless Strong Bad]]
[[Image:Sbscreen.PNG|thumb|Hilarity!]]
*There is no punctuation mark after Strong Bad types "Shaheen" for the first time.
*During the scene in the end credits with Strong Bad telling jokes, his mouth is shaped like an "O" and is covering his usually rectangle shaped mouth for one frame, giving him two mouths. Later in the same scene, his mouth disappears for one frame. This occurs another two times later on.
*Strong Bad's head pokes into the Powered By The Cheat preview when the preview squeezes into the screen.
*When Strong Bad's portrait fades in and out of the screen during the ballad theme song, parts of his mask can be seen through his forehead diamond. (This is caused when two non-merged Flash objects are faded at the same time, indicating Strong Bad's diamond is actually a separate object to his mask.)

'''MATT:''' Go, Ryan.

'''MATT:''' You run point!

'''RYAN:''' I'm a— I'm a big fan of theme songs.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah? What's your favorite TV theme song, Ry?

'''RYAN:''' Uh... Fortunately, a mix... Well, I dunno. Either Golden Girls, that's a good one...

'''MIKE:''' Uh huh.

'''RYAN:''' Or Family Ties is another good one.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Which one's Golden Girls? How does it go?

'''RYAN:''' A friend and a confidant.

''{Mike and Matt laugh}''

'''MATT:''' I— I always thought it was, uh, "You're a friend and I'm confident."

''{Mike and Ryan laugh}''

'''MATT:''' And so I thought it was ''{begins singing}'' "You're my fr— You're a friend and I'm confident!" And, uh, it just meant that, like, you know, I'm sure that we're friends! And then, what was, uh...

'''RYAN:''' Uh, Perfect Strangers had a good one.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that was a good one.

'''RYAN:''' Uh...

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Um... ''{pause}'' Remember— So, when did things like, the, uh... the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour, and, like, the Tom and Jerry Show, like, when they had a theme song, and it wasn't just shorts anymore? You know? Like, when did those ''happen?'' Was that— Was that in the 80s? Was that growing up, or was it prior to that?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno, it may have been in the 70s, I seem to remember 'em for a while, but...

'''MATT:''' Remember— I— That one reminds me of, uh... of the Tom and Jerry theme song. At the end, remember, he was picking up a weight and they all got sucked into the ground?

'''MIKE:''' Oh, yeah!

'''MATT:''' 'Cause he had... the weight he was trying to lift was too...

'''MIKE:''' Here's a Family Ties style, uh...

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Mm-hmm. Including Meredith Baxter The Cheat! The Cheat Baxter-Birnie!

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' The Cheat Bax— Meredith Baxter The Cheat! ''{laughs}'' That would have been much better. ''{seeing Strong Bad do shadow puppetry}'' How is he doing—

'''RYAN:''' Growing Pains.

'''MIKE:''' Yep.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

''{Ryan laughs}''

'''RYAN:''' Didn't we learn Alan Thicke wrote a lot of 'em?

'''MATT:''' Uh... or were we mistaken about that? I think—

'''RYAN:''' He ''wrote'' them. He didn't ''sing'' them.

'''MATT:''' He didn't sing them, that's right.

'''RYAN:''' 'Cause even— Uh, he wrote the Facts of Life one... I saw recently.

'''MATT:''' Ah. That looked like the— Cheers, uh... Doesn't Cheers use Cooper Black?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Yeah, at the end... for the "Created by..."

'''MATT:''' Yeah... ''{pause}'' "Check back after the bowl games!" They're— We're— They're really into the bowl games. Do you think that includes the Pro Bowl?

'''MIKE:''' Ohhh...

'''MATT:''' CGNU Online E-niversity.

'''MIKE:''' Definitely. The Pro Bowl. My favorite sporting event of the year.

'''MATT:''' Uh, so, Mike did a lot of this email. I was out of town. And Mike did a lot of this...

'''MIKE:''' Where'd you go? Where were you, man?!

'''MATT:''' I don't remem— Oh, I was in New— New York. ''{pronounces "York" like "Youk"}''

'''MIKE:''' Oh.

'''MATT:''' I remember watching this with millionaire gadabout Craig Zobel.

'''MIKE:''' Look! It's Jackie!

'''MATT:''' Hey! That's old wife Jackie!

''{pause as the three laugh while the balding man ponders the possibilty of cutting his arm off}''

'''MATT:''' You know, maybe. He's considering cutting his arm off.

'''MIKE:''' He definitely will! C'mon. Who're you kidding?

'''MATT:''' Next time that guy shows up he should... not have an arm. ''{pause}'' Um...

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' "Based on the comedy of..." I know, uh, Everybody Loves Raymond, uh... Home Improvement.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Did Seinfeld?

'''MIKE:''' I don't know if Seinfeld had that in the credits. Those other ones had in the credits "based on the comedy of".

'''MATT:''' So this is our local affiliate, uh, what, channel 10. Uh... 4— Channel— Well, 46 was the local thing but it was channel 10 on cable. The guy would always— It was before Charles in Charge.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' "But first, they're tiny, they're toony, they're ''all'' a little looney! It's Tiny Toon Adventures! And next, Lembeck chops his head off... on Charles in Charge." ''{pause}'' Um... So, yeah, how 'bout— When did squishy— squishing start... at the end of, uh... the promo for some other show happening.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I don't know why...

'''RYAN:''' Yeah, to fit more ads.

'''MATT:''' Right.

'''MIKE:''' I dunno why they allow it. Sometimes movies, they get so squished you definitely can't read them...

'''MATT:''' And plus, movies, they run them by really fast.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' It's, like, pointless. Yeah, really fast. Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Coach!

== Lyrics ==

I know a lively fellow, 
Who is really quite unique. 
He's small and smart and yellow, 
With a rodent-like physique. 
He doesn't play the cello, 
And he never deigns to speak. 
He's The Strong Bad's Leporello, 
And they just call him The Sneak... 

If you've got a caper 
Then you know who to call. 
It's The Sneak! 
It's The Sneak! 
Who's that Dapper Swindler 
Out of Tammany Hall? 
Vo-vo-vo-dee-oh-do 
It's The Sneak! 

[[Image:Not Panama.PNG|thumb|(Not the Panama Canal)]]
That charming little whatzit 
Who's The Strong Man's greatest pal? 
It's The Sneak! 
It's The Sneak! 
Who did the Hully Gully 
On the Panama Canal? 
Doo-wacka-doo-wacka-doo 
It's The Sneak! 

Who's that jaunty jackanapes 
With moxie and pizzazz? 
It's The Sneak! (Yes, sir!) 
It's The Sneak! 
Who's been drinking bootleg hooch 
And listening to the jazz? 
Vo-vo-voh-de-oh-doh 
It's The Sneak! 

Who captures all the flapper girls' affections? 
Who made off with my Fluffy Puff confections? 
He's dastardly! 
He loves catastrophe! 
His schemes are masterly! 
Takes tea at half past three! 
That sneaky sneaker's sneakin' all over town! 

Who dropped The Homestar Runner 
From his flying machine? (Humdinger!) 
Is it The Sneak? (28 skidoo!) 
It's The Sneak! 
Who put a Bengal tiger 
In The Kaiser's latrine? (Ach Du lieber!) 
It's The Sneak! (What's the rumpus?) 
You know it's The Sneak! (Take it home!) 
The Sneakity Sneak all day long! 

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What?

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*A "humdinger" is slang for "one that is extraordinary or remarkable".
*To "deign" means "to think it appropriate to one's dignity".
* A [http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=jackanapes&x=12&y=16 jackanapes] is a whippersnapper, an upstart, or a rascal.
*The poster with The Dapper Swindler has "known in the Northwest Territories as The Sneak" at the bottom. The [[Wikipedia:Northwest Territories|Northwest Territories]] is a [[Wikipedia: Canada|Canadian]] territory, located in the north-central part of the country.
*"Ach, du lieber" ("Oh, dear") is short for "Ach, du lieber Himmel" ("Oh, dear Heaven"), a German exclamation of surprise.
*"Jaunty" means "stylish" or "genteel".
*"28 skidoo" is a play on "[[Wikipedia:23 skidoo|23 skidoo]]", a bit of slang popular during the [[Wikipedia:Roaring Twenties|Roaring Twenties]]. It generally meant to leave quickly, sometimes specifically meaning to "get out while the getting's good" (very appropriate for The Sneak). [http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/393450.html The Phrase Finder] offers a number of possible origins for the phrase.
*"Rumpus" means "a noisy clamor".
*The dance Sickly Sam does is the [[Wikipedia:Charleston (dance)|Charleston]], a popular dance in the 1920s and '30s. The specific move is called "Bees Knees".
*The [[Wikipedia:Hully Gully|Hully Gully]] didn't exist in 1936. It was a hit song and popular dance introduced by The Olympics in 1959.
*Old-Timey Strong Bad flies over the Cliff in what appears to be a [[Wikipedia:Wright Flyer|Wright Flyer]].
*The piano that The Sneak rides upon is a [[Wikipedia:player piano|nickelodeon]], an automatic piano which at the time actually cost a nickel to operate.
*"Dapper" means "well-mannered and/or dressed".

=== Trivia ===
*This toon features all of the main characters' Old-Timey counterparts except for those of [[The Poopsmith]].
*Mr. Shmallow makes an appearance in this cartoon on the front of a [[Fluffy Puff Air-Puffed Sugar Delights|Fluffy Puff box]]. This box is different from the one featured in [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]]. The container in this cartoon appears to be a tin, while the other is a cardboard box. Also, the candies in the tin appear not to be marshmallows but a candy similar to the Choco-Lumps referred to in the aforementioned toon.
*"The Ballad of the Sneak" also appears on the album "Shame and Cookie Dough" by Paul and Storm, two former members of DaVinci's Notebook. The CD includes the original H*R.com version and one with commentary.
*The Sneak is mentioned as "yellow", giving weight to the theory he would be that color before being "filmed" in black-and-white.
*The orientation of The Sneak's tail has changed since his appearance in [[Parsnips A-Plenty]].
*On the Old-Timey Strong Bad clock, the hour hand is pointing slightly up. If it were really showing 3:30, the hour hand would be pointing slightly down.
*This is the first appearance of Old-Timey Coach Z, known as the Fort Wayne Locomotive.

===Remarks===
*The song is mostly done in four-part vocal [[Wikipedia:Harmony|harmony]] (although sometimes subtle and in octaves). The [[Wikipedia:A cappella|a cappella]] introduction comprises four voices in [[Wikipedia:Homophony|homophony]]; they are most distinct on the lines "never deigns to speak" and "they just call him The Sneak." The "jaunty jackanapes" section takes a [[Wikipedia:Call and response (music)|call and response]] format, with a [[Wikipedia:Soloist|soloist]] calling and the other two answering in [[Wikipedia:Polyphony|polyphony]]; again, a total of three parts.
*In the first commentary, Paul Sabourin of Da Vinci's Notebook says that the reference to the Smoot-Hawley Tariff doesn't fit in with the 1936 World. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff was signed into law in 1930, not the 1890's like he thought.
*This cartoon and [[That A Ghost]] both refer to illegal alcoholic beverages, which brings the [[Wikipedia:Prohibition|Prohibition]] era to mind. However, the cartoons were supposedly made in 1936 or 1937, 3 or 4 years after Prohibition had been repealed, so strictly the illegality would have to be merely evading the appropriate taxes on their manufacture.
*The Wright Brothers' plane was developed in 1903, over thirty years before this cartoon was supposedly made.

===Goofs===
*When The Sneak's head explodes, his tail disappears.
*The monocle of the rightmost trio member switches eyes at the end of the song.
**Also, the trio member whose head sticks in from the top of the frame during the "Fluffy Puff" scene has his monocle reversed.

=== Inside References ===
*The Sneak being silhouetted and going across hills may be a Parody of the [[Old Intro 2]].
*The Sneak's head exploding imitates how present-day [[The Cheat]]'s head will at times [[The Cheat's Head Exploding|randomly detonate]].
*Ward Boss Tweed kicking The Sneak out of Tammany Hall may refer to Strong Bad's frequent [[Kicking The Cheat|kickings of present day The Cheat]].
*The whistle has an engineer's hat like Homsar's in his [[Homsar#Character Video Transcript|character page]].
*The Sneak falling off the cliff is a reference to [[Parsnips A-Plenty]].
*"Boss Tweed gives The Sneak what-for" is a reference to an Easter egg in [[50 emails]], where Old-Timey Strong Bad replies to a telegram with "I'll give you what-for!".
*Bootleg hooch and the political cartoon are references to [[alcohol]].
*The caption of The Sneak dancing on the barrel reads "[[Not X|(Not the Panama Canal)]]"

=== Real-World References===
*"Leporello" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Mozart|Mozart]] opera ''[[Wikipedia:Don Giovanni|Don Giovanni]]''. In it, Leporello is a side-kick to the [[Spanish]] legend, [[Wikipedia:Don Juan|Don Juan]] (''Don Giovanni'' is the Italian equivalent).
*"[[Wikipedia:Tammany Hall|Tammany Hall]]" was a political society in [[Wikipedia:New York City|New York City]] (19th/early 20th century), known for its corruption and power. ''William Tweed'' was a strong figure in Tammany, (see below).
[[Image:Boss Tweed.PNG|thumb|right|150px|Boss removes Sneak from Hall]]
*A [[Wikipedia:Editorial cartoon|political cartoon]] appears briefly which features The Sneak getting booted out of a door by a foot that says "Prohibition?" The Sneak has dropped a paper that says "Hoot-Smalley Tarriff" and the caption reads "[[Wikipedia:Boss Tweed|Boss Tweed]] gives The Sneak what-for!"
**The "'''Hoot-Smalley Tarriff'''" is a [[Spoonerism|spoonerized]] play on the "'''[[Wikipedia:Smoot-Hawley Tariff|Smoot-Hawley Tariff]]'''" that was enacted during [[Wikipedia:Great Depression|The Great Depression]], widely considered to be one of the most inept pieces of legislation ever passed by Congress.
*The scene with The Sneak and the record player is a parody of the famous Victor (later [[Wikipedia:RCA|RCA]] Victor) trademark which features a dog named [[wikipedia:Nipper|Nipper]] sitting in front of a Berliner Style 5 gramophone, listening quizzically to "[[Wikipedia:HMV|His Master's Voice]]", the title given to the original painting by artist Francis Barraud.
*"[[Wikipedia:Moxie|Moxie]]" is the name of a soft drink popular during the early 20th century. The name became a slang term meaning liveliness and daring in the late 1920s.
*Bootleg [[Wikipedia:Hooch|Hooch]] (or "''Moonshine''") is homemade whiskey that is produced and/or sold through illegal methods.
*[[Wikipedia:Flapper|Flapper girl]], more commonly "flapper", was a slang term common in the 1920s which referred to young women who flaunted contempt for the restrictions of "decency" imposed on their gender by society. They lived lavishly and openly wore short skirts, used cosmetics, bobbed their hair, and could often be seen smoking or drinking in public, far from what was considered to be acceptable behavior for women in that era. Many cartoon characters from the time period, such as [[Wikipedia:Betty Boop|Betty Boop]] and [[Wikipedia:Minnie Mouse|Minnie Mouse]], for example, were "flappers".
*"What's the rumpus" is a reference to [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100150/ ''Miller's Crossing''], a Prohibition-era gangster movie, in which it is used as a greeting by several characters. This movie is a particular favorite of DaVinci's Notebook.
*The Sir Strong Bad watch is a reference to the old Mickey Mouse watches of the 1930s.
*The scene with The Sneak running inside an I-beam while other characters dance on top may be a visual reference to the old [[Wikipedia:Atari|Atari]] game [http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=360 Pitfall]. If nothing else, several cartoons from the time period featured characters playing in the I-beams of construction sites, such as [[Wikipedia:Olive Oyl|Olive Oyl]] when she was hypnotized by [[Wikipedia:Bluto|Bluto]] in a [[Wikipedia:Popeye|Popeye]] cartoon.
*[[Wikipedia:Prohibition|Prohibition]] was established in 1919 by the passage of the [[Wikipedia:Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution|18th amendment]] to the Constitution. It outlawed the sale, manufacture, and transportation of alcoholic beverages. It was eventually repealed in 1933 by the passage of the [[Wikipedia:Twenty-first Amendment to the United States Constitution|21st amendment]].
*"The Kaiser" is how German Emperor [[Wikipedia:Wilhelm II of Germany|Wilhelm II]] was popularly referred to in the U.S. and Britain during World War I. Propaganda-laced political cartoons of the time would often exact comedic revenge on this enemy of Allied forces. The title "[[Wikipedia:Kaiser|Kaiser]]", however, stopped being used in 1918, following the end of World War I and the dissolution of the German Empire.
**The Kaiser is wearing a [[Wikipedia:Pickelhaube|pickelhaube helmet]], a 19th century Prussian invention, which at the time of World War I was outdated, and was relegated mostly to ceremonial garb, as befits a militaristic emperor. Note the [[Wikipedia:Iron cross|Iron Cross]] on the helmet, a German military decoration of the early 19th century, re-introduced by Kaiser Wilhelm II in World War I.

===First Commentary Transcript===
('''Commentary by:''' [[DaVinci's Notebook|Paul Sabourin]], [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]], [[DaVinci's Notebook|Storm DiCostanzo]])

'''MIKE:''' ''{sounding muffled throughout}'' All right, so for this commentary we're on a four-way conference call.

'''PAUL:''' ''{also muffled}'' This is Paul Sabourin and Greg DiCostanzo; we are They Might Be Giants and we wrote this song.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' That's only partially true. They did write this song, but they're from DaVinci's Notebook!

'''PAUL:''' That's correct! We, uh, I— As I recall, we sort of stalked you guys, tracked you down in the early days of the website...

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I gotta be honest, I was a little— the first couple times— 'cause I think you played a couple times in Atlanta and invited us to come, and we were like, "An a capella group?!"

'''STORM:''' ''{not muffled}'' ''{laughs}''

'''PAUL:''' Yeah, that's what we always get.

'''MATT:''' I remember thinking— it was after The Cheat Theme Song had been made and I just thought that it'd be funny if, I— if there was an Old-Timey jingle version of it. Originally it was going to be the jingle for the product that was this wooden The Sneak thing that you trail— like, kids trail behind them on a rope. Back in the, like, thirties?

'''PAUL:''' Uh, Storm, you took the first whack at it, right?

'''STORM:''' Yeah.

'''PAUL:''' Your— this is your baby, more or less.

'''STORM:''' Well, it started out that way. They gave us the— initiated the idea for it, and, you know, we're both big, me— me and Paul are both big fans of the Doo-wacka-doo stuff, and it kinda took on a life of its own.

'''MATT''' or '''MIKE:''' That's really big these days, the Doo-wacka-doo stuff.

'''PAUL:''' Oh yeah, it's coming back.

'''STORM:''' Oh man, the kids ...

'''MATT''' or '''MIKE:''' That's really big, I was watching the TV last night...

'''PAUL:''' Actually, I hear the minuet is going to be the next big thing. From the 1780's...

'''MATT''' or '''MIKE:''' We've got interactive minuets on this DVD.

'''STORM:''' Oh, wow.

'''PAUL:''' Uh, I love that we don't give a crap about historical continuity. You know, it's not all 1936, there's the Smoot-Hawley Tariff of, you know, 1890's or whatever.

'''MATT''' or '''MIKE:''' When you're a kid, if it's the words black and white, it's all the same time.

'''PAUL:''' That's right.

'''STORM:''' Exactly.

'''PAUL:''' Um, oh that, by the way, that head blowing up is my second favorite piece of animation.

'''MATT''' or '''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' That's right. Yeah, because The Cheat's head's always blowing up, so The Sneak's head has got to blow up.

'''PAUL:''' This being my first one, of the growing mustache and the beard spilling over. Just brilliant. Hello?

'''STORM:''' Hello?

'''PAUL:''' Now I've lost The Chaps.

'''STORM:''' Ok. Uh, whatever you did before, do it again.

'''MIKE:''' All right, Mike is here.

'''PAUL:''' Mike is here. Matt is here.

'''MIKE:''' Ooh, look. That Old-Timey version of Coach Z's name is the "Fort Wayne Locomotive".

'''PAUL:''' Is it?

'''STORM:''' ''{laughs}''

'''PAUL:''' ''{garbled}'' You do. I love that.

'''MIKE:''' It's never been revealed yet. It's actually written into a cartoon that we haven't done yet.

'''MATT:''' We love you guys.

'''PAUL:''' We love you guys. You're wonderful, and we await our check with bated breath.

===Second Commentary Transcript===
('''Commentary by:''' [[DaVinci's Notebook|Paul Sabourin]], [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]], [[DaVinci's Notebook|Storm DiCostanzo]])

'''STORM:''' Ok.

Hey, alright, welcome to the commentary.

'''STORM:''' So this is "The Ballad of the Sneak" as written by, uh, it was actually- Da Vinci's Notebook was credited, but it was actually ... Hello? Hello?

Matt from Homestar's Notebook, Storm, from Paul Runner.

The Sneak!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, black and white, it was done in black and white.

'''MATT:''' I think Mike you should say that part about black and white again, I don't think they heard it.

'''STORM:''' Wait, so...

This is a black and white four-way conference call.

'''MATT:''' Say it really slow.

'''STORM:''' We didn't originally think this was going to be a black and white kind of deal.

Where's Storm?

'''STORM:''' They originally asked us for an old version of ...

Number nine, Number Nine.

Storm. Storm.

'''STORM:''' I'm right here.

Storm, say "black and white" really slow, I don't think they got that part.

'''STORM:''' Blaaaaaaaack annnnnnddd whiiiitttteeee.

Who is this? I didn't order this!

'''MATT:''' Ok, that's enough. We don't have time for you any more. We've gotta move on. I've got this magic trick I'd like to show you though.

'''STORM:''' So I did once...

'''MATT:''' This part was great, I remember Mike was out of town for this whole part.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I was at a softball game, playing, uh, in New Jersey.

'''STORM:''' I can't hear the other guys right now, but um, I can't even see the video, in fact, because I can't run the recording software at the same time that I'm actually talking ''{sound of phone button being pressed}'' because I can't see it.

Paul? Paul? Paul?

'''STORM:''' Hello? Hello? Hello? Is that Missy? Is Missy there?

You're cutting out over Paul.

I was cutting out a star-shape out blue construction paper I thought.

Is this the show commentary we're doing?

'''STORM:''' Wait a second. No one said there was going to be anything about construction paper in the commentary.

...My Michelle.

Did you just say you wrote "My Michelle"?

Did you hear from our lawyers?

'''STORM:''' Is the video still on?

I'm one of your lawyers.

'''STORM:''' Is the video still on? Is the video still on?

Fluffy Puff, I love Fluffy Puff.

Someone's at the door.

'''STORM:''' Is the video still on?

Hello, um...

'''STORM:''' Number nine

Number nine.

'''STORM:''' Number nine.

No, this is great.

'''STORM:''' I buried Paul.

When does Pom-Pom show up? I want Pom-Pom.

'''STORM:''' I buried Paul.

At the count of three, at the count of three let's all, we'll introduce ourselves.

What?

'''STORM:''' What?

Ok.

'''STORM:''' I'll introduce you.

This is great.

Five, four

'''STORM:''' Three, two one. Um, that's Mike over there, um, and I'm Storm, and I'm still pissed off about the construction paper. And, is the video still on?

''{laughter}''

===Fun Facts===
* [[Wikipedia:Michelle (song)|My Michelle]] and [[Wikipedia:Revolution 9|Number Nine]] are both lines from songs by [[The Beatles]]. "I buried Paul" is a part of the [[Wikipedia:Paul Is Dead|Paul Is Dead]] conspiracy, and is the rumored final line of [[Wikipedia:Strawberry Fields Forever|Strawberry Fields Forever]], also by the Beatles. The actual line is "cranberry sauce." Number Nine is also part of the Paul Is Dead conspiracy.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I got the email, you got the email, I got the email, you got the email.

''{Pronounces "Ert plus: Why seven-six P? Ohlyuu eightguh—" then stops}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is this? Did the quadratic formula explode? I see a "Strong ba" in there, but it's getting eaten... by some... Linux or something. Wait a minute! Is this one of those ''virus'' emails?! Like the kind that moms and offshore casinos send you?!? I'll take care of this!

''{Strong Bad types "deleted!", but the screen flashes:}''

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

''{A red line of text appears, reading "That didn't work."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! I said deleted!!

''{Strong Bad types it again, this time in capital italicized letters, but the screen flashes:}''

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

''{A red line of text appears, reading "That neither."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, wise guy, eh? Maybe I should introduce you to my main man, Edgar!

''{Strong Bad types in [[Edgar#Edgarware|Edgarware]].exe, bringing up the following text on-screen, along with a quick tune.}''

<blockquote class="compy email" style="text-align:center">Edgar the Virus

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{alarmed}'' Waaugh! That is not a small number!! That is a ''big'' number!!! What'm I gonna do?!

''{The following text now appears on the screen, accompanied by the Compy's startup beep:}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background:#3a50b6;text-align:center">FLAGRANT SYSTEM ERROR 
 
Computer over. 
Virus = Very Yes.</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Computer over? Virus equals very yes?! That's not a good prize!

''{The text and background on the Compy 386 screen melts off and slides onto the floor.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh!

''{Strong Bad jumps out of the way. The camera zooms out to a view of the computer desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And the Compy... just peed my carpet.

''{The corner of the computer desk briefly flashes, showing an underlying gridwork to it. The No Loafing sign becomes the following pseudo-HTML code and falls off the wall.}''

<code>
<head> 
<href>No loafing!!</href> 
</body>
</code>

''{The Floppy Disk Container gets eaten by the computer desk. Strong Sad walks in, but his head is floating a foot to the left of where it should be and has been replaced by his emoticons from [[Strong Sad's Lament]].}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{sounding annoyed}'' Strong Bad, what is going on?

'''STRONG BAD:''' WAH! I dunno! You forgot to wear your neck?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Have you been using the Internet irresponsibly?

''{The top of a Main Page starts to creep into the top of the email, with the text "Stave it off, 1, 2, 3..." in the corner in place of the "What's new" text.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No more irresponsibly than usual.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{His lower body starts walking away in place.}'' Did you get a virus?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{with guilt}'' Uhhh, noo...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did you get ''four hundred thousand'' viruses?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{submissive}'' Yes... ''very'' yes!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, hurry up and ''do'' something about it before it gets worse!

''{Strong Sad turns into the Strong Sad [[character card]] and flies up and off the screen. The Main Page at the top of the screen creeps up and out of the email.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{terrified}'' The Cheeeaaat!

''{Strong Bad runs off the screen and into the black to the right of the computer desk and then stops.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the...? Whoa! ''{shivers}'' It's cold out here.

''{Strong Bad tries to jump back into the room, but the room shifts left, causing him to still fall on blank space.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey!

''{Homestar Runner walks onscreen. His body is Old-Timey Homestar Runner's body, while the rest of him is normal. Instead of his legs moving, he just glides. He leaves a motion trail behind him, producing several ghost images of himself.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Never fear, Strong Bad! I know how to fix your computer box. ''{He turns to the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{stands up}'' No, no, don't touch that!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Your super box needs words. ''{His head falls off and onto the ground.}'' Like these right here! Gotta have this one ''{He picks up "downloads" from the bottom menu.}'' and this one ''{He picks up "games" from the bottom menu.}'' and this-a-this-a-this one. ''{He picks up "characters" from the bottom menu.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' No, wait! Stop! That's not supposed to be possible!

''{Suddenly, several pop-up windows appear one after the other (including a real one, unless popup blocking is used), titled "Click on the Monkey!!" They each feature oldschool Homestar who is saying "Making out with Marzipan is totally awesome!" Strong Bad starts screaming and pounds the side of the screen with his fists. Cut to Marzipan's living room. Strong Mad is standing nearby and Marzipan is standing next to a stack of VHS tapes.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, I think it's fantastic, Strong Mad! That's the best stack of VHS tapes I've ever—

''{Marzipan turns into an ASCII art rendering of herself, and her voice becomes extremely deep and distorted, making her words unintelligible.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I CAN'T SPELL YOU!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{more unintelligible gibberish}''

''{Strong Mad turns into a picture of himself from his [[Yearbook Character Page]], which walks offscreen with Homsar's walking noise. Text appears at the top of the screen reading as follows.}''

<blockquote>
If anyone is truly a big lug, Strong Mad is. This guy is dumb 
strong, and that's pretty much the definition of a lug. One ti 
his brother Strong Bad asked him to pick up this one car. An 
he did, but it was the wrong car. See? Dumb and strong. He' 
</blockquote>

''{Cut to the King of Town's castle. The Poopsmith is standing with his shovel extended and some [[whatsit]] on the end of it, as the King of Town stands nearby.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' A little to the left. ''{The Poopsmith extends the shovel toward the King.}'' Good, good...

''{The scene suddenly changes to a [[Teen Girl Squad]]-style piece of paper, with the text "issue [[Pi|3.14159265and the rest]]" at the top. The Poopsmith is gone.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ooh! Poopsmith?!

''{The Ugly One appears out of nowhere with the rhino sound from "Strong Bad's RhinoFeeder", and her mouth is huge and distorted.}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' I can do it! I can do it ''nine times''!

''{The Ugly One extends her arm and starts slapping the King of Town.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Uh! No! Please! Stop! I'm old! And fat! And rich! And cool!

''{Cut to the Homestar Runner website loading screen, which then slowly wipes to a black screen with the text "It's now safe to turn your computer off." The navbar disappears. Bubs walks on from the side of the screen. His mouth is a broken JPEG (with "TH" as the alt text), his legs are rendered as two overlapping red and blue layers, his midsection is missing, and he's carrying one of Homestar's legs in his left arm. His other arm is continually waving about, as seen on [[Dancin' Bubs]]. It is a bit larger than it should be.}''

'''BUBS:''' I shoulda done this, like, a ''million years'' ago.

''{Cut to The Field, now a cloud scene. The Stick is gone. Strong Bad has one big foot instead of both legs, his black mark is too high, and his head and mouth are lopsided. The Cheat is floating around the screen, interchanging between different versions of himself. A pitch-black Rather Dashing and a colon fly by in the foreground. As Strong Bad talks, his left arm detaches from his body and flies off in random directions.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Using an old version of his voice}'' With Marzipan's radish, we're gonna win the competition...

''{An explosion sound effect is heard, and suddenly everything returns to normal, revealing Strong Bad and The Cheat standing by The Stick.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, he fixed it! That Bubs is a computer genius man! Let's do a dance for the computer genius man.

''{A salsa rhythm starts up, to which Strong Bad and The Cheat start dancing. The camera pans to the left to reveal Bubs holding a shotgun.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, Bubs! How'd you get rid of the vi— ''{salsa music fades away}'' wait... why do you have a shotgun? ''{shaken}'' What did you do?! Where's my Compy?!?

'''BUBS:''' It's in a better place, Strong Bad. Or rather, it's in the same place, but now it's got a big hole through it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{more shaken than ever}'' YOU MURDERER!! You killed my brother! ''{nearly sobbing}'' I mean, computer!

'''BUBS:''' Look, Strong Bad, ''{zoom in on Bubs}'' my mouth was a broken JPEG. I had no choice.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You don't understand! You ''all'' understand! I mean, don't understand! YAAAUUUGGGHHH!

''{Strong Bad runs off screen, very distraught. The Cheat squeaks, as though he is telling Strong Bad to wait up, and runs after him. Homestar hops onscreen on one leg, holding his other leg up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Bubs, can I have my leg back now?

''{There is a long pause.}

''{Cut to the Compy 386, which now has a giant hole through its monitor and most of the wall behind it. Strong Bad is sitting in front of it, head bowed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{hysterical}'' Dear Strong Bad, I doh du duoh crapfully yours. ''{He hits his head on the keyboard a few times.}'' I...ID DOH DU DUOH CRAPFULLY YOURS! I can relate. ''{He hits his head on the keyboard again.}'' I ''can't'' re''late!'' ''{He hits his head on the keyboard again.}'' I'm gonna get, I'm gonna get in there and ''mix'' ''{He hits his head.}'' it up!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still very distraught}'' I don't remember your ''names'', Davey! ''{he hits his head on the keyboard again}'' Dear Strong Bad. ''{voice trailing off}'' How do you text with boxing gloves on?

== Easter Eggs ==

*When the Main page is encroaching on the top of the screen, the [[Quote of the Week]] button, [[Sketchbook]] button, [[Weekly Fanstuff]] button, and hidden main page button are all clickable.
**Clicking hidden main page button leads to [[Halloween Fairstival]].
**Clicking the Quote of the Week button makes it bounce around the screen until it gets lodged at the top by its bottom corner. Clicking "Hear it" causes a pixelated broom to scroll vertically along the screen while making a loud distorted noise, and some of the links disappear off the bottom of the screen. Unless the X is pressed, the quote box stays there for the rest of the email. When clicking the "X" to close it, the Quote of the Week box wobbles a bit and then falls off the screen, while the links reappear. When viewing the Flash file, if "Don't TAPE it" is scrolled over, it changes to "Don't TAKE it!".
**Clicking on the Sketchbook leads to a glitched sketchbook box, where the Flash MX color mixer appears. Scrolling over it causes a green X to appear overtop. Clicking it again causes it to close.
**Clicking on Weekly Fanstuff leads to a glitched fanstuff box, where there is a picture of Coach Z upside down with his arms and legs wrapped around a white space in the shape of The King of Town's head. This image is from [[Where's The Cheat?]], when Coach Z attacked The King over a misunderstanding involving The Cheat and [[The King of Town's Grill|a grill]]. The picture has many fractions at the bottom (which are actually the text "sticktoyourbooks" in the font [[Fonts#M|MS Reference Specialty]]). Hovering the cursor over the misspelled "OCⓧSLE" instead of the close botton causes the words 'A BOOK' to appear in green. Clicking on it causes the box to slide to the top and disappear.
*Clicking on the cog on the left at the end of the e-mail shows the shotgunned Compy 386 on sale at [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], with signs reading "Like Used!" and "Slightly Shotgunned!"
*Clicking on the fan on the right shows an excerpt of the original [[Cheat Commandos (toon)|Cheat Commandos]] toon, but with Fightgar using Homestar's leg as a gun.
:'''NARRATOR:''' ...to protect the world from the evil forces of Blue Laser!

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
*The [[Wikipedia:Quadratic equation#Quadratic Formula|quadratic formula]] is an algebraic equation used to determine the roots of a [[Wikipedia:Quadratic equation|quadratic equation]].
*The Teen Girl Squad issue number is [[pi]] truncated to 8 decimal places.

=== Trivia ===
*This is the only page on the site that produces a pop-up browser window automatically.
*This is the only email in which the [[HR:main nav.swf|navbar]] and the email are combined into one Flash file (so that Homestar can grab the words). When the [[random toon]] ("rando") and [[Podstar Runner|podcast]] links were added to the navbar and the "[[legal]]" link was shortened from "legal ''stuff''", The Brothers Chaps probably chose not to update this page, as the navbar is animated here, and could be difficult to change after the animation had been completed. This navigation bar was added to the DVD version; however, unlike the DVD version, the [[Podstar Runner]] version of this email did not have the navigation bar at the bottom.
*The broken JPEG icon is used in the Netscape family of web browsers, including [[Netscape|Netscape Navigator]], [[Wikipedia:Mozilla|Mozilla]], and [[Wikipedia:Mozilla Firefox|Mozilla Firefox]].

*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#spy vs spy|spy vs spy]]".
*On most [[homestarrunner.com]] pages, there are either 16 or 17 XHTML errors that are generated by the <embed> tag. The page for this email, however, only has 14 errors, as there are fewer embedded objects.

=== Remarks ===
[[Image:sbemail118.png|thumb|Ah! That is not a small number! That is a ''big'' number!]]
*Since the navbar is contained in this email's Flash file, it does not appear on the page until the toon has finished loading.
*Edgar the Virus Hunter is said to have been written in 1982, a year before the first documented experimental virus was created, although there are conflicting accounts as to when the first virus was made. The idea of a computer virus is much older, dating at least back to the 1972 science fiction novel, ''[[Wikipedia:When HARLIE Was One|When HARLIE Was One]]''. Even so, it would be very unlikely that any sort of virus scanner would have existed in 1982.
*In 2004, the year of the release of this email, only about [http://www.sophos.com/pressoffice/news/articles/2004/12/pr_uk_20041208yeartopten.html 100,000 known viruses] existed; well under the 423,827 that Edgar reports.
*Strong Bad's head is larger than normal (but not his wrestling mask) while he is talking to Strong Sad. It reverts back to normal when he runs for The Cheat, but then regresses back to the larger head once he enters into the black.
*The letters that make up [[ASCII art]] Marzipan refer to parts of her body: "E" for eyes, "f" for face, "h" for hair, and "d" for dress. Her mouth, however, is a hyphen or an "O".
*Strong Bad says that Edgar from the [[Edgar#Edgarware|Edgarware]] program is his "main man." However, he claims in "[[2 years]]" that his main man "is, and has been since [[1987]], Van Mundegaarde."
*The reason the "making out with Marzipan" pop-up doesn't come up in the .swf, or Flash, version is because the information for the pop-up is stored in the HTML source code. All that the Flash file does is send a JavaScript command to the browser, opening the pop-up window.
*One of Strong Sad's expressions, "whistful," is spelled incorrectly. It should be "wistful."
*In the Fake QOD, the words "Quote of the Day (Or So)" are displayed reversed, as though in a mirror, and, instead of "Hear It!" and "Get It!", the buttons are "Hear It!" and "Don't TAPE It", although the latter is hidden by the top of the screen. "TAPE" changes to "TAKE" when moused over.
*When the Fake QOD easter egg is activated, the Games, Characters, Downloads, and Store buttons disappear.
**This happens because the SWF file for virus's fake Quote of the Week (qod_virus.swf) has black bars at the bottom right where those words are, so when it appears in the email, it covers up those words.
*Allowing the fake Sketchbook to remain on-screen causes a screen glitch—a black box appears over the left side of the screen when the screen moves off of the center of the page.
**The reason for the color switcher glitch is because in the .swf file of the glitched up sketchbook, there is a black box to the left of the screen, which covers up the screen on the left.
*This is the second e-mail made using the Widescreen technique. The first was [[flashback]].
*Clicking on the "main" on the navigation bar leads to the [[404'd]] page. The address is http://www.homestarrunner.com/mainNaN.html. NaN is the computer term for Not a Number, which is obtained in some environments by dividing zero by zero and/or other mathematical errors.
*When the fake popups appear followed by the real one, the fake ones look similar to the windows from some of the older Microsoft Windows operating systems. Depending on which operating system and desktop theme one uses, the real popup looks quite different from the fake ones. Especially users of operating systems such as Mac OS or Linux will notice this, while Windows 98 users will see no obvious difference.
*At the beginning of the Email, the contrast buttons will slightly increase and decrease the volume.
*In the Podcast version, Strong Bad looks back and forth when the ads pop up, even though they all appear in one area.
*Most shotguns spread out from the barrel, whereas the blast from Bubs's shotgun seems to narrow down as it reaches the back wall.
*When the "F" for [[Weekly Fanstuff]] and the "S" for [[Sketchbook]] are clicked, they change into a "[[Quote of the Week|Q]]".
*When the top of the screen lowers to reveal the weeklies, using the tab key will highlight a rectangle where the new toon message is displayed. While it can't be clicked, pressing enter while it is highlighted will lead to [[Halloween Fairstival]].

=== Goofs ===
*While the liquid is leaking out of the screen, the contrast buttons are still clickable.
*After Homestar grabs "downloads", "characters", and "games" from the bottom, "toons" is no longer clickable, unlike the other remaining links. Then, at the end of the email when everything else returns to normal, all the links disappear.
*The fake QOD, fanstuff, and sketchbook stay on the screen until the watcher of the email gets rid of them, even after Bubs shotguns the Compy, and in the Easter eggs.
*After Strong Bad types "deleted!" for the first time and the blue screen appears, the drive letter disappears.

===Glitches===
*As Strong Bad runs away from Bubs, his left arm momentarily disappears. This is easier to see if viewed in the Flash file.

*This is an extreme instance of [[Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning]].
*The "Flagrant System Error" title is from [[50 emails]].
*"Stave it off, 1, 2, 3..." is from the counting song in "[[Whaddaya Know, Haddi-Man?]]".
*The card that Strong Sad transforms into is from the original deck of [[Character Cards]] that has since been removed from the site.
*The pixelated broom induced by the glitched Quote of the Day is the same graphic used in Peasant's Quest for the broom [[Baby Lady & Her Baby|the baby]] knocks over to let the player into [[Naked Ned]]'s cottage.
**Using a broom to play Marzipan's garbled noise may be an oblique reference to people mistaking her for a broom.
*"Making out with Marzipan is totally awesome" was once the phrase necessary to trigger the Strong Bad Talker from the [[Homestar Talker]] (It has since been changed). The sound clips for the words were also taken from the Homestar Talker. The first four words of the phrase are also heard in "[[The Cheat Theme Song]]".
**The "Click on the Monkey" pop-up(s) shows an [[Homestar Runner Evolution|older version of Homestar]].
*Strong Bad screaming and pounding on the edge of the screen while the popups are appearing could be a reference to [[Where the Crap Are We?]].
*Strong Mad's description, which appears when he glitches, comes from the [[Yearbook Character Page]], as does the picture of him inside a giant M.
**This time, the giant M shows Strong Mad's "M" insignia on his singlet, whereas in [[Yearbook Character Page]], the giant M did not.
*The sound effect that plays when The Ugly One appears is taken from [[RhinoFeeder]].
*[[The Ugly One]]'s line and the sound effects for her slapping the King of Town in the face come from [[crazy cartoon]]. However, she slightly misquotes it: the original line was "I can do it! I ''will'' do it nine times."
*The powering-down sound that plays just before Bubs walks across the screen is the same sound that plays just before the [[Tandy 400]] explodes in [[gimmicks]]
*As Bubs is walking across the screen the first time, his left and right arms are moving as if stuck in positons #4 and #5 (respectively) in the [[Dancin' Bubs]] game. Bubs's right arm is also about twice as large as usual.
*Bubs's broken JPEG mouth bears the letters "TH." This might be a reference to his other identity, [[The Thnikkaman]].
*During the final glitch scene (just before Bubs "fixes" the computer), the song playing in the background is the intro to "[[Parsnips-A-Plenty]]" and "[[That A Ghost]]".
*Strong Bad's line during the final glitch scene is taken directly from [[The Reddest Radish]].
*The cloud background during the final glitch scene is the same cloud background used in [[New Boots]].
*[[Image:virusdthecheat.gif|thumb|Virus'd The Cheat]] During the final glitch scene, The Cheat is on a rotation of six different versions of himself:
*# The [[Awexome Cross]] version.
*# One that looks like one of The Cheat's styles from "[[The Cheat Theme Song]]".
*# A drawn version, from "[[The Reddest Radish]]".
*# Another drawn version from Strong Bad's site.
*# A far more pixellated version of him, with a thin black outline around it.
*# A Cheat x-ing sign, much like the similar signs seen in the [[Fan Stuff]] part of the [[Museum]].
*The fan and cog in the Compy 386 are the same fan and cog that were visible when the Tandy 400 exploded.
**Looking closely (or zooming into the Flash file) reveals that the fan is once again mysteriously floating in space, just like when the Tandy 400 blew up.
*Bubs sells the [[Broken Compy Menu|broken Compy 386]] as he did with the [[King of Town Email|broken Tandy 400]].
*Strong Bad's muttered last line "how do you text with boxing gloves on?" is a variation of the common "[[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|how do you type with boxing gloves on?]]".

*The dance The Cheat performs when Strong Bad says, "Let's do a dance for the computer genius man," looks like [[Wikipedia:Dana Carvey|Dana Carvey]]'s "[[Wikipedia:Church Lady|Church Lady]]" dance from the classic SNL sketch.
*"[[Wikipedia:Bourgeoisie|Bourgeoise]]," one of the emoticons acting as Strong Sad's head, is the feminine form of the term used in [[Wikipedia:Marxism|Marxism]] to describe the middle or upper class that oppose the [[Wikipedia:Proletariat|proletariat]] (working class) in the class struggle.
**Another emoticon, "o' what a night", references [[Wikipedia:The Four Seasons (group)|The Four Seasons]]' hit "[[Wikipedia:December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)|December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)]]".
*The "ding" sound heard after EdgarWare finds the viruses is taken from some versions of [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Microsoft Windows]].
*The screen "It's now safe to turn your computer off." is similar to the one displayed when shutting down a Windows computer that cannot turn itself off. The actual message is "It is now safe to turn off your computer", and the style of this message is taken from Windows 95 through 98. (and some later versions of Windows, if the computer is unable to turn itself off.)
*"A wise guy, eh?" was frequently muttered (in a very similar tone of voice to how Strong Bad says it) by [[Wikipedia:Moe Howard|Moe Howard]] of the comedy group [[Wikipedia:The Three Stooges|The Three Stooges]].

*[[Main Page 22]] is based on this email.
*The shotgunned Compy would reappear along with the cracked [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] in [[retirement]].
*Two of The Cheat's designs seen near the end (just before everything returns to normal) can be viewed as a few alternatives in the DVD release of [[The Reddest Radish]]; namely, the child's drawing and the crossing sign (but without the word "x-ing").

== DVD Version ==
*The central pop-up (that is, the one that would actually pop up on the website version) does not appear.
*Unlike all other DVD emails, this has the [[HR:main nav.swf|navbar]] on the bottom.
*The way the Quote of the Week, Sketchbook, and Weekly Fanstuff easter eggs work has changed. All three are combined into one easter egg, which goes to the Weekly Fanstuff easter egg, then the Quote of the Week easter egg, and finally the Sketchbook easter egg.
*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]], [[Homestar Runner]])

'''MIKE:''' This email looks tiny, Matt.

'''MATT:''' It's a funny shape.

'''MIKE:''' It's smaller than the rest, and there's little words at the bottom.

'''MATT:''' This doesn't make any sense to me!

'''MIKE:''' What's going on?

'''MATT:''' S— Oh, no. Strong Bad must have gotten some type of a wirus!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Virus.

'''MATT:''' B— Pardon?

'''MIKE:''' Virus?

'''MATT:''' Oh. I used the German pronunciation.

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

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' K. Um, so this was, uh, this was a— this email was kind of a big— big production.

'''MATT:''' Mm hmm.

'''MIKE:''' Took longer than most.

'''MATT:''' A long time in coming.

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

'''MATT:''' Yeah, see— he hasn't used "deleted" on the Lappy yet, now that he has a new computer, has he?

'''MIKE:''' I guess not. I wonder what it looks like when he deletes something on the Lappy.

'''MATT:''' I dunno. "Drop a train on 'em" was from a bad hip-hop song I made in college — ''{Mike laughs}''— where I sampled the soundtrack from a Dirty Harry movie.

'''MIKE:''' That's a good song.

'''MATT:''' Thanks.

''{Pause}''

'''MIKE:''' So this, obviously, was, uh, pretty fun to make where you could just kinda put stuff wherever and just...

'''MATT:''' It's more like ''your'' computer is getting the virus than Strong Bad's computer getting the virus.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. The whole world is getting the virus.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. "Stave it off, 1, 2, 3" up there at the top.

'''MIKE:''' Mm hmm. There's uh, Strong Sad's head is the, uh, his little emoticons from the uh, his—

'''MATT:''' Strong Sad's Web journal.

'''MIKE:''' Strong Sad Journal.

'''MATT:''' That was from an unused character page we never made.

'''MIKE:''' Mm hmm.

''{Pause}''

'''MIKE:''' Say something good, Matt.

'''MATT:''' Uh—

'''MIKE:''' Make it— Make it funny.

'''MATT:''' All right. ''{adopts different tone}'' T— To— ''{normal voice}'' Oh, yeah, weren't we gonna do— I was going to be a character when we did this commentary.

'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah. Start doing Homestar.

'''MATT:''' All right...

''{Pause}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' That was a lot of me's.

'''MIKE:''' That ''was'' a lot of you's.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Mike, some of them were old me's that don't look so great.

'''MIKE:''' That's right. I thought you looked pretty good back in the old days.

'''HOMESTAR:''' No, no.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, you—

'''HOMESTAR:''' Look bad.

'''MIKE:''' Look Bad!

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Strong Bad.

'''HOMESTAR:''' That's a different character.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Who was Look Bad again?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, what are they doing there? Is he gonna eat that doo-doo shovel?

'''MIKE:''' No, I think was going to take a picture of it, maybe.

'''HOMESTAR:''' But he doesn't have a camera, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' But the camera was offscreen.

'''HOMESTAR:''' He's got a mustache.

'''MIKE:''' The camera was offscreen.

'''HOMESTAR:''' He clearly wanted... a doo-doo-stache.

'''MIKE:''' Who's that, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR:''' That looks kinda like Bubs, from Website. But I don't think so. Oh, look, it's ''Pitfall''.

'''MIKE:''' That did happen in ''Pitfall''.

'''HOMESTAR:''' If you flick the on and off switch a lot, you get a little floating Pitfall Harry through the trees!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, I like The Cheat's little sassy dance there, Homestar. Did you teach him that?

'''HOMESTAR:''' I did. Hands on hips!

'''MIKE:''' How'd you teach him that?

'''HOMESTAR:''' I said, "Hands on hips!"

'''MIKE:''' Look, there's your leg.

'''HOMESTAR:''' That is not my leg! That looks like a shotgun.

'''MIKE:''' Bu—

''{Pause}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' That shotgun looks dangerous, Mike. I don't agree with its appearance in this cartoon.

'''MIKE:''' You shouldn't play with shotguns, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR:''' I don't, man.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Good.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Did you learn that the hard way?

'''MIKE:''' No.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Penny Hardaway?

'''MIKE:''' I'm allowed to— I'm allowed to draw them, though. Drawing them's no problem.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Drawing them is bad.

'''MIKE:''' No, I think it's okay.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Here I come!

'''MIKE:''' See?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Look! I lost my leg!

'''MIKE:''' I know, that's— Bubs— Bubs has it there.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Strong Bad looks like he's a little delirious in this part.

'''MIKE:''' He's— He's sad. He's had a great loss. People sometimes act like this... when they're experiencing great losses.

'''HOMESTAR:''' But— Mike, a great loss sounds like a contradiction.

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

'''HOMESTAR:''' I don't— I've never had any ''great'' losses.

'''MIKE:''' "Great"— "Great" meaning "large," not meaning—

'''HOMESTAR:''' All my losses are bad losses.

'''MIKE:''' You've never had a great loss?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Except maybe, some pounds. ''{Pause}'' He just really put a hole right through that thing, huh?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Didn't go through the wall, though.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Nope. ''{whispering}'' Let's get quiet.

'''MIKE:''' ''{whispering}'' Okay.

=== Fun Facts ===

* Matt says Strong Bad got a "wirus" and then calls this "the German pronunciation". This is because the standard German pronunciation of the word "virus" starts with a "w" sound, imitating the original Latin pronunciation of the word.
* Homestar demonstrates his ignorance that he has [[Lack of Visible Arms|no visible hands or arms]].
* [[Wikipedia:Penny Hardaway|Penny Hardaway]] is a professional basketball player who has played guard for the [[Wikipedia:National Basketball Association|NBA]]'s Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns, and New York Knicks.

'''Page Title:''' TANDY 400!!

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc One}}

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' Umm... I don't know... I'm gonna check my email.

<blockquote class="tandy email">DEAR STRONGBAD 
MY GIRLFRIEND WON'T TALK TO ME ANYMORE 
BECAUSE SHE IS IN LOVE WITH YOU. I DON'T 
KNOW WHAT TO DO, MAYBE YOU COULD TELL 
HER THAT I AM COOL AND YOU ARE TAKEN. 
SINCERELY 
YOUR JEALOUS FAN, 
DANIEL</blockquote>
''{Strong Bad reads in a loud monotone to reflect that the email was written entirely in capital letters.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Number A, you don't have to shout. Do you know how many Internet etiquette laws you're breaking by typing in all caps like that? Well, you're breaking one: Don't type in all caps. Anyway, sure Daniel, I'll tell her. Put her on.

{''Strong Bad clears the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dear Daniel's girlfriend, maybe I should tell you that Daniel is cool. And that I am taken. Yeah... Yeah... Taken by a whole buncha girls that are way hotter than you, baby. So sorry sweetie, tootsie-pie, sugarbob, funky bunch. Anyways, they're all right here. Uh... They're climbing all over me. Um, say hello, ladies.

''{Strong Bad clears the screen again, then types different messages from different "ladies" on the screen.}''

'''Hi!!!! g2g!! ;)'''

'''What's up?? Strong Bad roxors!! lmao! _^.^_'''

'''I'm way prettier than you. :P'''

'''ThuggaChik48031 in tha hizzy. SB is the shizzle. p's'''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So as you can see, they're all really nice, and hot and very web savvy. So you don't have a chance with me, sugarbob. You might as well just stick with Daniel over here. I can't see you doing any better. Okay, put Daniel back on. Okay, Daniel, it's all taken care of. Though I'd probably buy her some stuff and start working out just in case. I am quite a catch. ''{stops typing}'' Okay, everybody. Bye.

''{Strong Bad gets up and leaves. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the only time alternate [[fonts]] were typed on the Tandy 400. The fonts are, in order, [[Wikipedia:Times New Roman|Times New Roman]], [[Wikipedia:Comic Sans|Comic Sans MS]], Monotype Corsiva, and Jokerman.
*This is the first time Strong Bad leaves his chair after an email is over.

===Remarks===
*The instant messages from Strong Bad's "ladies" contain at least one instance of [[Internet Slang]] and [[Swears|cussing]].
*Strong Bad's computer screen was shown with colors in this email, even though the Tandy 400 is a monochromatic monitor. This is another instance of Strong Bad's computer exceeding its technical limitations.

===Real-World References===
*"Funky bunch" is a reference to Marky Mark (rapper-turned-actor [[Wikipedia:Mark Wahlberg|Mark Wahlberg]]) and the Funky Bunch.
*The lines "sugarbob, funky bunch" could be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Holland-Dozier-Holland|Holland-Dozier-Holland]] [[Wikipedia:Motown|Motown]] classic, [[Wikipedia:I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)|"I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch),"]] made famous by [[Wikipedia:The Four Tops|the Four Tops]].
*The messages from the "ladies" make sounds from [[Wikipedia:Apple Computer|Apple's]] [[Wikipedia:Mac OS X|Mac OS X]] when they appear (Mac OS X is an operating system for [[Wikipedia:Apple Macintosh|Macintosh]] computers). Some of them could be submarine, glass, temple, and purr.
*The "Internet etiquette" that Strong Bad is referring to is [[Wikipedia:Netiquette|Netiquette]], a list of rules, guidelines, and basic etiquette for the Internet. There actually ''is'' a rule not to type in all caps unless you really mean it.

===Fast Forward===
*The first two sounds used when Strong Bad is typing in different fonts and colors are used in [[retirement]] when it highlights the poorly-written parts of the Tandy email.

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

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

'''MIKE:''' So, Marzipan's in the studio with us, and, uh, we're going to do a little song about this email! Hit it, Marzipan!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Because it's so boring. Okay, here we go! A one and a two and a one two three.

''{Marzipan starts playing Carol and we can hear someone shaking sleigh bells}''

<blockquote>
Sugarpie, sugarbob 
Sugarpie, sugarbob 
Schnizzle 
 
Sugarpie, sugarpie, 
Sugarpie, sugarpie, 
Schnizzle to the izzle 
 
Sugarbob, sugarbob, 
Sugarbob, sugarbob 
You're not very good 
 
You're kind of boring 
Kind of boring 
And there are no pictures 
 
Sugarpie, sugarpie 
Sugarpie, sugarbob

Schnizzle, schnizzle 
Schnizzle, fizzle

I have nothing left to say 
Except there's nothing 
 
Nothing to say 
Nothing to say 
Does anybody like this email? 
 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.</blockquote>

'''MARZIPAN:''' And now, I can do my scales.

''{Marzipan plays a scale on Carol}''

'''MATT:''' Oh, what scale was that one, Ms. Pan?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I think it might've been the A Minor.

'''MATT:''' Nice. What else you got? We've got some more time here.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I have a very sad song.

'''MATT:''' Oh, let's hear it! Quick, quick, though!

''{Marzipan starts playing Carol}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing}'' It's the saddest song.

'''MIKE:''' That's it!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing}'' Sad ''{is cut off}''

=== Fun Facts ===
*Marzipan actually plays an A major scale, not an A minor.

Pompomerania: /* Original Handheld Games Menu */

==Modern Handheld Games Menu==
[[Image:handheldgames postshooter.png|thumb|right|220px|Retro Game Page-y goodness.]]
The '''Handheld Games Menu''' is currently available by choosing "Old Games" on the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu]]. It is modeled after the vintage [[Nintendo]] [[Wikipedia:Game & Watch|"Game & Watch."]] The background can be changed so [[Homestar Runner]] can [[prancing|prance]] across [[The Field]], [[Strong Badia]] and [[The King of Town's Grill]].

'''Page Title:''' Exciting Handheld Action!

'''Date:''' July 29, 2004

===Available Games===
*[[Dancin' Bubs]]
*[[Homestar Talker]]
*[[Audition with Marzipan]]
*[[Bronco Trolleys]]
*[[Strong Libs]]
*[[Homestar Quiz]]
*[[Hairstyle Runner]]
*[[Fortune Cookies]]
*[[Who Said What Now?|Who Said What?]]
*[[Astro Lite]]

==Original Handheld Games Menu==
[[Image:originalhandheldmenu.PNG|thumb|right|220px|The original version]]
Previously, the Handheld Games Menu was the main Games Menu. Most of it was the same as the current Handheld Games Menu, but there were a few differences.

'''Date:''' July 14, 2002

*The last three games have been moved around a bit. The original version had the [[Videlectrix]] games "[[Population: Tire]]" and "[[TROGDOR!]]" (which were moved to the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|new Games Menu]]) instead of "Fortune Cookies" and "Astro Lite", which were in the [[Museum]] at the time. "Who Said What?" was also eighth in line instead of ninth. Population: Tire had a tire as an icon and TROGDOR! had Trogdor as an icon.
*The text on top read "Super Fun Games-n-Such" instead of "Super Old Games-n-Such". The outline of the text was also thicker in the original version.
*The "bkgrd" button was where the "new games" button game is now. Obviously, the "new games" button was not in the original version.
*The mouth of the [[Strong Bad]] face ("Strong Libs'" icon) was filled in more in the original version. The question mark ("Homestar Quiz's" icon) was darker in the original version.
*The original version had a gray back button in the bottom-left corner of the screen, which the new version lacks.
*The original version calls the [[Who Said What Now?]] game "Spin `N Say", while in the new version it is called "Who Said What".

==Goofs==
*There are actually two select buttons, one is the yellow one and there is one behind it which is black that can be selected by clicking below and to the right of the yellow button or by pressing tab a few times which scrolls through the buttons.

==Transcript==

''{The email begins with a red curtain with "sbemail 200" on it. Then, the curtain opens to show the Lappy with a pixelated bugle on it. Trumpets begin to play. Pan out to the Computer Room with roses on its floor. The Cheat appears and plays a trill on a flute.}''

'''SINGER:''' Two hundred sbemails, exhausting just to think about.

''{During the song, "200" appears in the fonts of the Tandy, Compy, and Lappy sequentially, followed by "strongbad_email.exe" typed out. Strong Bad enters the computer room on the red carpet while roses are thrown. Marzipan and Coach Z are seen watching him enter}''

'''SINGER:''' How can we face two hundred sbemails?

''{Strong Bad continues to approach the computer, showing that the King of Town and Bubs are also in the room. We then cut to the singer, who is revealed to be the Poopsmith, wearing a bowtie and holding a microphone, as he finishes his song.}''

'''THE POOPSMITH:''' The thought of all those sbemails makes me weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeak!

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing on his stool. Strong Sad can be seen among the audience.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{finishing the song}'' ''Puke!'' ''{echoing}'' Please be seated. ''{The audience sits down.}'' ''{normally}'' How about that Poopsmith, huh? Breaking his vow of silence to perform my two hundredth sbemail intro song! ''{Close shot of Strong Bad}'' I'm almost ''{pantomimes wiping his nose}'' sniff ''{voice wavers}'' not totally disgusted!

''{Cut to the Poopsmith, surrounded by flies. He gives Strong Bad the thumbs up, and whatsit drips from his glove. Cut to Strong Bad sitting down at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I take that back. ''{types out "strongbad_email.exe"}'' Okay, here we go!

''{pulls up the email, but doesn't read it}''

<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: college girls?</div>

Me and all of my young college friends that live in my dorm were just wondering if you wanted to come over and have a pillow fight sometime because we think you are sooooooo very cool.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Duh-duh-duh-Dear ''HOMESTAR''!? ''{extreme close-up on Homestar's name}'' W.T.C.? ''{Camera zooms out}'' New Paper, print me out a hard copy. ''{It does and he grabs it.}'' I'll teach Homestar to steal my 200th email thunder. ''{Thunder booms}'' B'oyah! ''{Strong Bad gets up and leaves}''

''{Cut to Homestar at a table, typing on his [[Happy 8600]]}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{typing}'' —a protected landmark with surprisingly clean restrooms!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Homejob! Some stupid girls that are probably really guys accidentally emailed me—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ugh. Strong Bad, how do you keep gettin' in here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? What are you talking about? I just—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm in the middle of checking my email.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whaddaya mean, ''your'' email? I'm in the middle of checking ''my'' email!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're not the only one around here ''{Close shot of Homestar}'' that answers emails from fans with humorous results.

''{Cut back to show the two characters}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Since the crap when?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. Since forever. ''{Close shot of Homestar}'' Don't you remember? You're in a bunch of 'em. Like that old classic when they asked ''{Camera zooms out}'' about burglars ''{thumping his feet}'' breaking into my house.

''{Cut to Homestar in his darkened living room, in a Homestar Runner shirt, white robe and sleeping cap}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If I act all sleepy and throw a bunch of ''{holds up a cinnamon dispenser}'' cinnamon on my face, it's usually enough to throw 'em off. ''{opens the lid and throws cinnamon on his face}'' Poo, poo. Poo, poo.

''{The light turns on as he walks into living room to find Strong Bad and The Cheat having broken the cow lamp, from the email [[caper]]}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{yawns}'' Hey Strong Sad. Batman. What are you guys doing in my house?

''{Screen dims}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''Whaaaaaat?''

''{Cut to the scene from [[long pants]], where Homestar is wearing Daisy Dukes in front of Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And who can forget when I accidentally took some of Strong Sad's pills?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapped by Homestar}'' Okay, calm down, I didn't mean to—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long pants, Strong Bad! The longest pants! Everybody everybody! Longest pants!

''{Homestar teleports around the room to a different place after each word he says. He first appears in front of Strong Bad, then leaning in behind him, then hanging upside down from the ceiling, then pixellated on the Lappy's screen as Atari Homestar, then blurred in the scene's foreground, then upside down under the desk, then back to his original position, looking exhausted and out of breath, all while chanting the following.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long long long long long long pants!

''{Screen dims}''

''{Cut to a dimmed shot of the basement. Strong Bad is sitting on the couch. Coach Z is standing to the left wearing a fondue pot on his head and a Tigger tail.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And that one where I dressed up real good like Coach Z. ''{Screen brightens up}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, Strong Bad, I think I ruined your fondue part!

'''STRONG BAD:''' My fondue part?

''{Cut back to Homestar's computer room. Strong Bad is standing on the table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{now frustrated}'' Hang! On! Shut! Face! Those were ''my'' emails and you squeazeled your way into them.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm glad you believe that, Strong Bad. Anyways, Let me see that email. ''{takes the email from Strong Bad and looks at it}'' ''{Zoom in on Homestar.}'' Oh, come on! ''Another'' pillow fight? Haven't they seen hremail #49?

''{Cut back to show the two characters. Strong Bad is sitting on the edge of the table}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hr-what mail?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hremail. You've got sbemails, I've got hremails.

''{As he says "sbemails" and "hremails", they appear over his head as text, as if someone typed them}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do you even have an email address?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Of course I do. Everybody knows it's ''{close shot of the Happy 8600 as Homestar types his email address}'' DJmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com.

''{Cut back to to show the two characters. Strong Bad is leaning off the table and standing on his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There's a good chance my brain is about to explode right now.

''{Zoom in on Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aww, come on, old timer. It's not so bad. You want to help me check this email?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{gets in Homestar's face and pokes him as he speaks}'' I'm not gonna help you check your email! I'm gonna help myself ''ruin'' your email! ''{Camera zooms out}'' Whooyaa!

''{Strong Bad exits to the left, and then reappears holding three ice cream sandwiches.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And help myself to your ice cream sammies. Whooyaa.

''{Strong Bad runs off, leaving behind one of the sandwiches, which spins in midair.}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad's computer room. The subject/to line and screen are inexplicably blank. The Lappy's cursor is on the subject/to line. Strong Bad sits down at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll teach Homestar to retroactively steal my email thunder! ''{thunder booms}''

''{Strong Bad types out the following email.}''

<blockquote class="email">
<div>to: DJmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com</div>
Dear Homestar, 
I'm a big fan of your hremails and was wandering, can 
you give us a tour of your not-in-front-of-your-computer? 
Sewiously yours, 
Abdi
</blockquote>

''{As he types, he pronounces "wandering" with a short "A" sound as in "ham", and "sewiously" exactly as typed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' ''Send!''

''{The Lappy's screen clears and the camera whips to the opposite side of the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mumbling}'' Let's see now, a few seconds for the DNS to resolve, server, SMTP, now he's reading it, and... ''ding''! He's taken the bait! ''{leaps away}'' Hooyah!

''{Cut to The Field. Homestar walks in to the left, carrying a clipboard, approaching a wooden sign that reads "Historic Not-In-Front-Of-My-Computer" and has a laptop with an X on top of it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, and if you look to your left, you'll see Historic Not-In-Front-Of-My-Computer: a protected landmark with surprisingly clean restrooms.

''{In the background, Strong Bad is seen running to the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Tee hee hee!

''{Cut to the Happy 8600. Strong Bad runs in from the left as rock music begins to play.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh hello, idiot-proof computer! You look a little thirsty. Time for some long overdue allegedly citrus-flavored payback!

''{Strong Bad produces a giant bottle of Mountain Dew. Zoom in on Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rubs chin}'' How does that old adage go? Ah, yes. ''{mimicking Homestar}'' "Apply libewally!" ''{Camera zooms out}'' Hooyah!

''{Strong Bad pours the Mountain Dew on the Happy 8600. Within seconds, it begins to spark and smoke.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! ''{smiles}'' Ha ha!

''{New Paper comes down, but instead of showing Strong Bad's email address, it says "Click here to email Homestar Runner", with Homestar's email address. The two images of the "@" key and Strong Bad's head in an envelope are also missing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks up}'' Hey! Whose side are you on, anyway?

''{New Paper is pulled back off-screen. Some blows are exchanged, and The Paper comes down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{smiles again}'' The Paper! You came back!!

''{A spark catches The Paper, and it burns to a crisp.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oops.

''{The screen clears to black, and the words "Strong Bad Emails" appear. The names of the first two hundred Strong Bad Emails scroll up from the bottom in the background.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The term "Stealing One's Thunder" (from which the title is derived) is used in situations wherein one person is associated with hoopla stemming from the efforts of another person. In this case, sbemail #200 was intended to be for Strong Bad, but the email itself was addressed to Homestar Runner, who would therefore be recognized as the recipient of the 200th email.
*When Strong Bad sends his email, he mentions several technical terms:
**[[Wikipedia:Domain Name Server#DNS_resolvers|DNS Resolving]] is a process done by a DNS (Domain Name System) server in which it identifies the IP address of a [[Wikipedia:Domain name|domain name]].
**[[Wikipedia:Simple Mail Transfer Protocol|SMTP]], or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, is a standard for servers sending email.
*[[Wikipedia:Universal Serial Bus|USB]] and [[Wikipedia:IEEE 1394 interface|FireWire]] are modern types of serial connections. Older serial connectors were defined by the number of connectors or "pins" they have. Therefore, a 4-pin or an 8-pin would have 4 or 8 pins, respectively, though no such standard connections existed. Serial ports were traditionally 9-pin and 25-pin.

===Trivia===
*Opening [[HR:hremail49.html|hremail49.html]] will play an excerpt from that email.
**Opening [[HR:hremail24.html|hremail24.html]] will play what is left of an event referenced in the previous [[hremail]].
*The label on the [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#duck pond|duck pond]]".
*[[John Linnell]] provides the voice of the Poopsmith, marking the only main character who is not voiced by [[the Brothers Chaps]] or [[Missy]].
*This is the only time we unambiguously hear the Poopsmith talk. 
*The Cheat is playing a [[Left Handedness|left-handed]] flute at the beginning.
*When this toon was first released, the thunder sound effects and the flashing were not there when Strong Bad said "email thunder". These were added later.
*This email took the shortest amount of time for any Strong Bad Email to come to DVD, as [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Six]] came only two months later.
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad finds out Homestar has his own email show and is trying to steal his email thunder."
*The ways that show this is a special email are the 200 sbemails song, the Poopsmith sings, roses are thrown about the computer room, there is a red carpet in the computer room, the floppy disk container reads [[Duck Pond|duck pond]], the music at the end, The Paper coming back, and the list of sbemails at the end.

===Remarks===
*After the close-up on the Lappy, the cursor disappears.
*In the flashbacks to [[caper]] and [[long pants]], Strong Bad's design is the newest one, rather than [[Strong Bad Evolution|the one he had at that time, which was the sixth]].
*When The Paper comes down, it is clickable and will let you email Strong Bad until he accidentally burns it up.
*Strong Bad pulls the giant bottle of Mountain Dew from [[Hammerspace]].
*Strong Bad has no idea Homestar has an Email address, yet he knew exactly what it was in [[credit card]].
*Strong Bad is surprised at the email, but in [[the process]] he says he picks the email beforehand.
*The Strong Sad Easter egg simply said "sbemail200" on the corner of the screen without the ".html" at the end, as opposed to "sbemail179''.html''" in [[pizza joint]]. This may be because this email's URL is not "sbemail200.html" but "sbemailtwohundred.html".
*Rolling over "[[kind of cool]]" to show [[Senor Cardgage]] doesn't work on the word "cool", which is located at the beginning of the next line.
*Strong Bad never actually answers an email in this cartoon.
*During the closeup of "Dear Homestar", the following text is visible on the Lappy with a decompiler:
<blockquote>Oh...Steven! I think this may finally be it you guys! After 
200 emails I'm finally gonna get 
to make out with D-D-D </blockquote>
:This is most likely a scrapped response for the initial email, and was later featured in [[Quote of the Week#QW-2008-10-16|the Quote of the Week]].

===Goofs===
*When Homestar puts cinnamon on his face, his eyes are the wrong size. They're quite noticeably squished and placed too high on his face.
[[Image:EmailThunderOffSync.png|thumb|100px|Blurry blurry blurry blurry blurry blurry pants!]]
*In the clip from [[long pants]], when Homestar is blurred in the foreground, the table and carpet within the image of blurred Homestar are not in their proper places.
**Additionally, the first line of words on the screen are not there.
*On the end screen, there is no space between [[cheatday]] and [[pom pom]].
*The back button sends you to the [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons page]] rather than the Sbemail page.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Originally on the end screen, highlighting [[ghosts]] would bring up a picture of [[Sterrance]], who never appeared in that email. This has since been corrected; the [[Bad Graphics Ghost]] now appears when that email is highlighted.
*Also originally on the end screen, sibbie was spelled "sibby".

===Glitches===
*If the Limozeen Easter egg is activated, followed by another Easter egg, Limozeen will continue to play over the other one.

===Inside References===
*Coach Z returning [[Strong Bad's fondue pot]] is a reference to [[50 emails]].
*Strong Bad signs his message to Homestar "Abdi", based on [[Abdi LaRue]], the sender of the very first email, [[some kinda robot]].
*This is another email featuring [[Mountain Dew]].
**Strong Bad pours Mountain Dew on the Happy like Homestar did to the Compy in [[anything]]. He also quotes Homestar's "apply liberally", imitating Homestar's impediment. He then [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]] twice while he pours it; once when sparks start to appear, and once when The Paper comes down.
*The Easter egg with Limozeen is lifted directly from [[flashback]].
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad refers to [[Strong Sad's Lament]], which, true to Strong Sad's words, hasn't been updated since September 9, 2005.
*In this email, The Cheat plays the [[Instruments|flute]].
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad uses the same theme as in the Strong Sad Easter egg in [[pizza joint]].
*Homestar's laptop [[Happy 8600]] is manufactured by [[Tandy]].
*Strong Bad apparently [[Interrupted Conversations|interrupts]] a Homestar Runner Email when he enters the room.
*The fonts used to write "200" in the intro are the fonts from each of [[Computers#Computers|Strong Bad's computers]].
*Homestar once again uses [[cinnamon]] for stubble.
*Homestar's disdain for the "repeat" pillow-fight topic seems to reflect the "topics the Brothers' Chap aren't likely to answer," most notably requests to "[[draw Trogdor again]]."
*Strong Bad's signs his email to Homestar with the catchphrase "[[Seriously|Sewiously]]", in the same vein as emails he received signed "[[Crapfully yours]]".
*"Squeazeled" and "cavalanche" are [[portmanteaus]].
*The Paper returns to beat up New Paper, making it the first appearance of the original on the site since the email [[the paper]].
*Strong Bad's exclamation, "WTC?" appears to be an initialism for "[[Crap|What the Crap?]]".
*There are three instances of [[Not X]] in this email: Strong Bad is "almost not totally disgusted" by The Poopsmith's singing; he asks Homestar for "a tour of your not-in-front-of-your-computer"; and in an Easter egg, Strong Sad tells viewers to "be sure and not check out my blog."
*Homestar's list of hremails is similar to the one in [[personal favorites]], in that they both have narration that says ''"like the one when... wrote in..."'' and ''"and the one where..."'', as well as the first two emails being real and the rest being fake.
*Homestar claims to have taken some of [[Strong Sad's Pills|Strong Sad's pills]] when remembering the email [[long pants]].

===Real-World References===
*The Poopsmith Easter egg refers to the song "My Michelle" by [[Guns N' Roses]].
*Homestar's laptop is modeled after an [[Wikipedia:OLPC XO-1|XO-1]], an inexpensive model distributed as part of the [[Wikipedia:One Laptop Per Child|One Laptop Per Child]] project. The laptop was made available to North American consumers during the 2007 holiday season in a "Give 1 Get 1" offer. Interestingly, the XO-1 keyboard is designed to resist liquids.
* The menu page description for this toon says, "Homestar will flip you. He will flip you for real." This is a reference to a memorable line spoken by [[Wikipedia: Benicio Del Toro|Benicio Del Toro's]] character in [[Wikipedia: The Usual Suspects|The Usual Suspects]].

==DVD Version==
*The roll-over egg and downloading of the song (for obvious reasons) is disabled.
*The HREmail 49 and 24 Easter eggs are directly accessible from the end of the toon.

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

'''MATT:''' A millstone, Mike, a Millstone coffee. This email is like a cup of Millstone coffee.

'''MIKE:''' So, we still really haven't decided if there'll be more sbemails or not.

'''MATT:''' Oh, I've decided.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, there won't be.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' There won't be?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that's— we're done.

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that e— that slow-motion walk clip, that was the culmination of all of eight years of efforts, or six years in Strong Bad Email case.

'''MIKE:''' In Strong Bad Email case?

'''MATT:''' Yeah. ''{pause}'' So we totally collaborated with John Linnell in this song, and for weeks ahead we sent him notes and he would send... rough drafts of the song back to us, and he totally didn't just make this song and send it to us and there was maybe one email exchange between the two of us.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Oh really?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that was our creative process.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, okay.

'''MATT:''' It was not that. No, we told him, hey, do you— we had originally asked him to do something for 199, since he had done a song for email 99, but then email 199, we kinda just came and went, did a normal email, and then, uhh, he just made this.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' He made this song.

'''MATT:''' He was like, hey, I made a little thing, a little intro for a— the sbemail 200.

'''MIKE:''' And then we listened to it about ten times in a row and then we thought, I dunno, it just came to us that maybe The Poopsmith should be singing it.

'''MATT:''' Yep. ''{pause}'' It's a bombshell, man.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, man.

'''MATT:''' TBC dropped a bombshell at the beginning of this email.

'''MIKE:''' That email thunder, the little lightning and thunder flashiness was added, like, a couple hours after it was up.

'''MATT:''' Oh yeah, that's right.

'''MIKE:''' I fixed a couple goofs, and then I added that, just cause I had the idea to add it.

'''MATT:''' Nice, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' I'm surprised we didn't add, we had always talked about putting something on Homestar's wall.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' It looks a little bare.

'''MATT:''' A picture of s— of, uhh, Señor Havin' A Little Trouble, maybe, or Mr. Bland. ''{pause}'' he— Homestar has, uhh, Ryan Sterritt's kitchen table.

'''MIKE:''' And Ikea's kitchen table.

'''MATT:''' And a nice molded-plastic chair. ''{pause}'' Oh, tappa-tappa-tappa.

'''MIKE:''' So we had talked about doing this for a long time, having a cartoon where you start on Homestar, and Homestar's doing a bunch of stuff, and falls asleep, and then it turns out that this was sort of the p— Homestar's version of the Strong Bad Email, where he would then come into a Strong Bad Email like this.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Did I explain that well?

'''MATT:''' Not well at all.

'''MIKE:''' We talked about making a cartoon where it's Homestar and then at the end of the cartoon or somewhere within the cartoon you see one of there little scenes where Homestar popped into a Strong Bad Email, and it was actually part of a larger story focusing on Homestar the Runner. That was eloquence. ''{unintelligible}''

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that was a little better. Now that spent half the commentary talking about that.

'''MIKE:''' We got nothing else to talk about

'''MATT:''' I like— I think Coach Z with that fondue pot on his head should be some kind of— ''and the tail'' should be some kind of Johnny Appleseed

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

'''MATT:''' We should make up like a, Saddy Dumpington— it should be the Saddy Dumpington version of Coach Z.

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

'''MATT:''' He's got a tiger tail.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Monday's update, I call that.

'''MIKE:''' Alright.

'''MATT:''' Get started, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' What was the, uh—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' I've got diarrhea, I won't be able to do work on that one.

'''MIKE:''' What did you record the, uh, sound of Homestar's computer, uh, keyboard tapping sound?

'''MATT:''' Uh, it was on my— my old, uh, laptop at home.

'''MIKE:''' Oh.

'''MATT:''' Nothing— nothing interesting.

'''MIKE:''' ''{pause}'' Umm...

'''MATT:''' Whooyaa!

'''MIKE:''' He says some nice whooyaas several times.

'''MATT:''' Several, three or four whooyaas. ''{pause}'' Umm, so this is the first time we've ever seen Strong Bad re— like, send a, uh, actually send an email, right?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, the cursor blinking up in the subject bar.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that was you, man.

'''MIKE:''' Mm-hn.

'''MATT:''' ''{pause}'' Umm, how does Homestar type with no gloves of any kind on? Right? Hands? Whoo!

'''MIKE:''' Uh, what do you call that?

'''MATT:''' A blurry swoosh.

'''MIKE:''' A swoosh?

'''MATT:''' That's a whip pan.

'''MIKE:''' A whip pan, that's what I was looking for.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' A 180-degree whip stick.

'''MIKE:''' Did you see the stool, the stool was kinda slowly gliding back.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Maybe it had been greased recently.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' That, uh, is that the same sign from, uh, the hygiene email? Gene's Mouth National—

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Yeah, the one— Gene's Mouth National—

'''MIKE:''' Park.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{pause}'' Do do do do do do do do guh guh guh guh guh guh! ''{pause}'' Umm... ''{pause}'' Throw— there's a lot of callbacks in this email.

'''MIKE:''' Mountain Dew, pouring Mountain Dew.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, there's really no original content in it at all.

'''MIKE:''' It's a clip show, it may as well just of been a clip show.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, you did a poor job on this 200th email.

'''MIKE:''' But, uh, I—

'''MATT:''' It's too bad this is the last email we're ever making.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' For sure, I decided right now, for certain, never again.

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Sorry.

'''MIKE:''' I bet by the time this DVD's out we will have made one already.

'''MATT:''' No.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Alright.

'''MATT:''' I'm holdin' out.

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

'''MATT:''' I have a sore throat and dia— diarrhea.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' I'm sure everyone needed to know that.

'''MATT:''' That one's my favorite.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that one's my favorite.

'''MATT:''' Oh, I like that one, too.

'''MIKE:''' That one sucks.

'''MATT:''' Oh, I— oh, that one. Yeah, that one's bad.

== Bubbles ==

Hey there, PompomeraniaBot. We actually prefer "bubbles" when Pom Pom speaks, and any effort to change it to something else would need to be discussed. Also, regular users are not allowed to operate bots on this wiki, so if this account really is controlled by some automated process, I'm afraid I can't allow it to edit. Sorry. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:32, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

:I am not automated! I just help, and I prefer "Pom Pom noises" because it sounds more professional. --[[User:PompomeraniaBot|PompomeraniaBot]] 18:33, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
::Well, surely you could understand why I might think so with "Bot" in your name and "I am a robot" on your user page. The reason we use "The Cheat noises" is there's really no other way to put it. You simply have to know what The Cheat sounds like. Pom Pom, on the other hand, makes an identifiable sound, and thus we can state it directly. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:39, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Pompomerania, this is not funny. Breaking into another user's account is a serious offense. We would have most likely blocked you from editing had you succeeded. On the other hand, if Tandy 400 Dreams really is your "downstairs" account, and your friend is a lie, then you are operating what is called a sockpuppet account. This is also a blockable offense. Wiki bureaucrats have the technology to find out whether it really is your "downstairs" account or not, so there is no use pretending. This is your last chance to come clean and tell us once and for all if Tandy 400 Dreams is your account or not, so we can sort out this mess.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 01:55, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Wiki bureaucrats have the technology to find out whether it really is your "downstairs" account or not, so there is no use pretending. This is your last chance to come clean and tell us once and for all if Tandy 400 Dreams is your account or not, so we can sort out this mess.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 01:55, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

T4D IS MY ACCOUNT! I WILL USE IT EVEN THOUGH IT IS MY DOWNSTAIRS ACCOUNT! PUT MY USERPAGE JOKES IN THE SANDBOX, AND BLOCK POMPOMERANIA! --[[User:Pompomerania|Pompomerania]] 02:28, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

== Your Edits ==

Hi there, i've noticed you've been making some peculiar edits, such as adding false information, or modifying a page falsely ([http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=20X6_Marzipan&diff=prev&oldid=621671 1][http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Subtitles:sbemail118/en&diff=prev&oldid=622037 2][http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Subtitles:sbemail118/en&diff=next&oldid=622038 3]) and then immediately reverting your own false edits ([http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=20X6_Marzipan&diff=next&oldid=621671 1][http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Subtitles:sbemail118/en&diff=next&oldid=622037 2][http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Subtitles:sbemail118/en&diff=next&oldid=623361 3]), removing the word "the" from places where it said "the Tandy" ([http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=homsar&diff=prev&oldid=622699 4][http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=some_kinda_robot&diff=prev&oldid=622698 5][http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=depressio&diff=prev&oldid=622703 6][http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=halloweener&diff=prev&oldid=622721 7]), and making up nonsense quotes ([http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Bad_Graphics_Ghost&diff=prev&oldid=621046 8][http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Bad_Graphics_Ghost&diff=prev&oldid=621668 9]). Would you mind explaining this unusual behavior? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:38, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm just very odd. It looks funny to see it. "Tandy" also looks cooler? --[[User:Pompomerania|Pompomerania]] 16:41, 15 January 2009 (UTC) (homestarrunnerpompomtoo)

The Poopsmith

[[Image:poopsmith.PNG|thumb|right|220px|A crappy job (literally)]][[Image:Babyds.PNG|thumb|The Diapersmith says: "Phrppp!"]]

== Biography ==
'''The Poopsmith''' is just a regular guy with a ''very'' crappy job. Literally. It's unclear whether "The Poopsmith" is his actual name, as it's used occasionally with an [[integral article]], but often without. His body is peach-colored and egg-shaped, and he has small blue legs and feet, a white head, and an enormous underbite. He always wears a pair of large orange gloves stained with [[whatsit]], and he is usually seen carrying a large shovel. The Poopsmith has taken a vow of silence and [[#Speech|rarely officially speaks]], (except in [[email thunder]], where he sings the opening song,) nor does he seem to ever display any emotions or facial expressions. He does occasionally [[The Poopsmith's Signs|hold up signs]] to communicate, however. He is sometimes seen poking his shovel as a half-gesture, similar to how his [[Old-Timey]] incarnation, [[The Demon]], uses his pitchfork.

While it is still unclear exactly what his job is, The Poopsmith has been employed by [[the King of Town]], apparently to shovel whatsit for a living. While he never seems to transfer whatsit between his constantly-soiled gloves and anything he touches, the inherently filthy nature of his job tends to keep him out of most social circles; for example, he is apparently banned for life from Strong Bad's [[Swimming Pool]], as seen in [[keep cool]]. Despite this, he seems to be held in deep respect by the other characters. For example, [[Strong Bad]] has refrained from [[your friends|hurting]] The Poopsmith, figuring "the guy shovels [[crap]] for a living so his tolerance for pain's gotta be through the roof." He even [[big white face|made two cakes]] for The Poopsmith (though he threw one of them at [[Strong Sad]]). The Poopsmith also seems to be a good friend of [[Pom Pom]].

During [[disconnected]] he is depicted as being the King of Town's law enforcement agent, defending the King and his "[[municipality]]" from the rock-throwing disobedience of [[Head Bad and Strong Body|Strong Body]]. He also has some musical talents: he plays the cymbals for the [[K.O.T.H.S. Junior Varsity Marching Band]], which made its first appearance in [[Fall Float Parade]]; and is the lead vocalist for [[All the King's Men!]] despite never speaking (he simply gestures with the microphone).

In [[KOT's VOQPCS!]], the Poopsmith is married to the pleasant odor of a bouquet of flowers, but they died after coming into contact with his stench.

In Halloween toons, the Easter eggs are often triggered by clicking on something in the same scene as The Poopsmith. They usually trigger a Homsar appearance.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen, narrating in animal show host type voice}'' Here we have a rare glimpse of the Poopsmith in his natural habitat. ''{drops narrative tone}'' Pretty nasty, if you ask me. Oh, ''{narrating}'' The Poopsmith has taken a vow of silence. ''{drops narrative tone}'' I'm about to take a vow of throwin' up my cookies all over this microphone. ''{taps microphone twice}'' How much is this thing worth, anyways? 'Cause it's about to be worth a lot less. No for real. The Poopsmith is a good guy. He just got a crappy job.

== Speech ==
[[Image:The Poopsmith singing.png|thumb|200px|The thought of The Poopsmith singing makes me weeeeeeeeeeak!]]
The Poopsmith has taken a vow of silence and rarely officially speaks. The only instance of his breaking this vow outright occurred in [[email thunder]], the 200th [[Strong Bad Email]]. Here, he sang the opening intro song, and was voiced by [[tmbw:John Linnell|John Linnell]] of [[They Might be Giants]]. It is foretold that The Poopsmith will again break his vow after another 200 e-mails.

There have been a few other possible minor exceptions:
* In [[The King of Town DVD Storyboards]], The Poopsmith was supposed to say "Nope". This line was not included in the actual toon.
* In [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], The Poopsmith (dressed as a Sleestak) hisses at Strong Bad (disguised as [[Homestar Runner]]) and [[The Cheat]].
* One of the changes Strong Bad would make in his [[different town]] is for The Poopsmith to talk. To demonstrate this change, the fantasy Poopsmith says "Hello!" in a deep voice.
* In [[highschool]], Strong Bad's "doodle memory" includes a scene with "The Diapersmith" blowing a raspberry at baby [[Strong Sad]].
* In [[senior prom]], a deep voice (similar to The Poopsmith's imaginary voice in [[different town]]) says "Oh yeah!"; though it is never found out who actually says this, it is strongly implied that it was The Poopsmith (who was seen holding a microphone earlier in the email). When everyone looks at him in shock, he just shrugs it off. In the DVD commentary for this email, [[The Brothers Chaps]] suggest that it might instead be [[The Blacksmith]].
* In [[Ever and More!]], The Poopsmith appears to join the [[Broternal Order of Different Helmets]] in chanting the "frothy, shanty chant", although his mouth doesn't move when the other characters' mouths do.

[[Image:poopsmith.PNG|thumb|right|220px|A crappy job (literally)]][[Image:Babyds.PNG|thumb|The Diapersmith says: "Phrppp!"]]

== Biography ==
'''The Poopsmith''' is just a regular guy with a ''very'' crappy job. Literally. It's unclear whether "The Poopsmith" is his actual name, as it's used occasionally with an [[integral article]], but often without. His body is peach-colored and egg-shaped, and he has small blue legs and feet, a white head, and an enormous underbite. He always wears a pair of large orange gloves stained with [[whatsit]], and he is usually seen carrying a large shovel. The Poopsmith has taken a vow of silence and [[#Speech|rarely officially speaks]], (except in [[email thunder]], where he sings the opening song,) nor does he seem to ever display any emotions or facial expressions. He does occasionally [[The Poopsmith's Signs|hold up signs]] to communicate, however. He is sometimes seen poking his shovel as a half-gesture, similar to how his [[Old-Timey]] incarnation, [[The Demon]], uses his pitchfork. He also can do thumbs-ups, as seen in [[keep cool]] and [[email thunder]].

While it is still unclear exactly what his job is, The Poopsmith has been employed by [[the King of Town]], apparently to shovel whatsit for a living. While he never seems to transfer whatsit between his constantly-soiled gloves and anything he touches, the inherently filthy nature of his job tends to keep him out of most social circles; for example, he is apparently banned for life from Strong Bad's [[Swimming Pool]], as seen in [[keep cool]]. Despite this, he seems to be held in deep respect by the other characters. For example, [[Strong Bad]] has refrained from [[your friends|hurting]] The Poopsmith, figuring "the guy shovels [[crap]] for a living so his tolerance for pain's gotta be through the roof." He even [[big white face|made two cakes]] for The Poopsmith (though he threw one of them at [[Strong Sad]]). The Poopsmith also seems to be a good friend of [[Pom Pom]].

During [[disconnected]] he is depicted as being the King of Town's law enforcement agent, defending the King and his "[[municipality]]" from the rock-throwing disobedience of [[Head Bad and Strong Body|Strong Body]]. He also has some musical talents: he plays the cymbals for the [[K.O.T.H.S. Junior Varsity Marching Band]], which made its first appearance in [[Fall Float Parade]]; and is the lead vocalist for [[All the King's Men!]] despite never speaking (he simply gestures with the microphone).

In [[KOT's VOQPCS!]], the Poopsmith is married to the pleasant odor of a bouquet of flowers, but they died after coming into contact with his stench.

In Halloween toons, the Easter eggs are often triggered by clicking on something in the same scene as The Poopsmith. They usually trigger a Homsar appearance.

''{Cut to the Poopsmith shoveling through his pile of whatsit}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen, narrating in animal show host type voice}'' Here we have a rare glimpse of the Poopsmith in his natural habitat. ''{drops narrative tone}'' Pretty nasty, if you ask me. Oh, ''{narrating}'' The Poopsmith has taken a vow of silence. ''{drops narrative tone}'' I'm about to take a vow of throwin' up my cookies all over this microphone. ''{taps microphone twice}'' How much is this thing worth, anyways? 'Cause it's about to be worth a lot less. No for real. The Poopsmith is a good guy. He just got a crappy job.

== Speech ==
[[Image:The Poopsmith singing.png|thumb|200px|The thought of The Poopsmith singing makes me weeeeeeeeeeak!]]
The Poopsmith has taken a vow of silence and rarely officially speaks. The only instance of his breaking this vow outright occurred in [[email thunder]], the 200th [[Strong Bad Email]]. Here, he sang the opening intro song, and was voiced by [[tmbw:John Linnell|John Linnell]] of [[They Might be Giants]]. It is foretold that The Poopsmith will again break his vow after another 200 e-mails.

There have been a few other possible minor exceptions:
* In [[The King of Town DVD Storyboards]], The Poopsmith was supposed to say "Nope". This line was not included in the actual toon.
* In [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], The Poopsmith (dressed as a Sleestak) hisses at Strong Bad (disguised as [[Homestar Runner]]) and [[The Cheat]].
* One of the changes Strong Bad would make in his [[different town]] is for The Poopsmith to talk. To demonstrate this change, the fantasy Poopsmith says "Hello!" in a deep voice.
* In [[highschool]], Strong Bad's "doodle memory" includes a scene with "The Diapersmith" blowing a raspberry at baby [[Strong Sad]].
* In [[senior prom]], a deep voice (similar to The Poopsmith's imaginary voice in [[different town]]) says "Oh yeah!"; though it is never found out who actually says this, it is strongly implied that it was The Poopsmith (who was seen holding a microphone earlier in the email). When everyone looks at him in shock, he just shrugs it off. In the DVD commentary for this email, [[The Brothers Chaps]] suggest that it might instead be [[The Blacksmith]].
* In [[Ever and More!]], The Poopsmith appears to join the [[Broternal Order of Different Helmets]] in chanting the "frothy, shanty chant", although his mouth doesn't move when the other characters' mouths do.

'''Date:''' Monday, June 30, 2003

'''Running Time:''' 2:13

'''Page Title:''' Compy 386!!

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Two}}

== Transcript ==
''{Open to Compy 386; Strong Bad is absent. Homestar Runner strolls in and sits down at the computer.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hello, class. Strong Bad could not be here today, so I will be filling in. My name is ''{slowly}'' Homestar Runner.

''{He writes his name on the screen with a piece of chalk, then erases it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Everyone please take out paper and a number 2 pencil, and we'll begin.

''{Homestar types "sb_enail.com", rather than the usual "strongbad_email.exe", to run the e-mail program, and strangely enough, it works.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Lesson one:

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">hi Strong Bad, 
have you ever made anything out of anything? 
bye 
Dan from FL</blockquote>

''{After reading "Strong Bad," Homestar angrily regards the screen and says, "Um, I do believe I just told you my name is Homestar Runner. But I'll let it slide this time." He then continues reading and pronounces "FL" as the letters "F" and "L".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{typing}'' FL?'' {again as "F" and "L"}'' Far-off Lands? Foreign Leadership Camp? Fish Lake? ''{stops typing}'' Oh, I got it. He's from Fish Lake. ''{clears screen, resumes typing}'' Well, Jerome, I once made a birthday present for Marzipan out of some of my old CD's I didn't like anymore and placed them in a decorative bag. ''{stops typing, clears screen}'' And then ''{resumes typing}'' I once made breakfast out of cold pizza and half and half. Oh! And one time I made a whole set of coasters out of—

''{cut to some glasses of melonade sitting on game cartridges}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' —some old Sega tapes. And I made a pair of shoes—

''{Cut to Coach Z and Strong Sad out in the field talking. Strong Sad has a Foreign Leadership Camp '91 T-shirt on. Homestar walks on wearing shoe-boxes for shoes.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{continues in voiceover}'' —out of a pair of shoe boxes.

'''COACH Z:''' Whoa, those are some fresh kicks there, Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, I know! ''{walks off}''

'''COACH Z:''' So anyways, Reg had the ball at the top o' the key.

''{Cut back to the Compy}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{typing}'' But this week, I will instruct you on how to make a wet computer out of Strong Bad's computer.

''{The Cheat walks on in a red outfit, but is instantly knocked offscreen when Homestar stands up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' First, you need a 2-liter bottle of Mountain Dew. ''{produces a bottle of Mountain Dew from behind his back}'' Then get Strong Bad's computer. Apply liberally.

''{Homestar starts pouring Mountain Dew on Strong Bad's keyboard, a ringing noise is heard.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oops, we're out of time.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' That's just my egg-timer!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Class dismissed! ''{glaring at the screen angrily}'' Except for you, Jerome!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. Homestar twitches a little. The Mountain Dew continues to be poured onto Strong Bad's keyboard. After about 13 seconds, Homestar resumes talking.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Dang. This thing's like... the never-ending soda. ''{sings}'' Never-ending so-oda! A-a-a, a-a-a, a-a-a...

''{The sound fades out, but the soda continues pouring from the bottle indefinitely.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:Fish Lake.PNG|thumb|Home of this fish]]
*Click on the words "Fish Lake" to see a [[postcard]] from there.
*To see the CD collection Homestar gave [[Marzipan]], click on "CD." The CD covers are labeled "Really Slow Old People Music", "Pretty Slow Old People Music", and "Very Slow Old People Music".

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:COM file|.com]] is one of the filename extensions for [[Wikipedia:MS-DOS|MS-DOS]] programs (a slightly different format from the [[Wikipedia:EXE|.exe]] used by the usual <code>strongbad_email.exe</code>).

===Trivia===
*This is the only email in which Strong Bad is not seen.
*This is the first appearance of [[Mountain Dew]]. It had been previously mentioned, but not seen, in [[techno]].
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#the 7th guest|7th guest]]".

===Remarks===

*The area of carpet underneath the keyboard gradually darkens while Mountain Dew drips on it.
*Homestar shows us his fickle side by first forgiving the email's author for "forgetting" his name then forcing him to stay when "class" is dismissed.
*When poured onto the keyboard, the Mountain Dew appears to be a green liquid. In real life, Mountain Dew is yellow; it just comes in a green bottle.

===Goofs===
*When Homestar writes on the Compy's screen, the chalk and eraser have no reflections.
*While Homestar is introducing himself, in one frame his reflection's mouth is open but the top of his underbite appears closed.
*When Strong Sad is wearing the "Foreign Leadership Camp '91" shirt, his belly button has disappeared.
*When Homestar clears the screen after typing "Fish Lake," you can see the "a>" prompt escape from the top of the Compy screen.
*Homestar's reflection remains the same when the monitor's contrast is adjusted. This is strange, as it adjusts correctly in a previous email ([[2 emails]]).
*The first time Homestar says "Strong Bad," it is spoken without his usual speech impediment. The impediment returns for the rest of the email, however.
*In the scene where Homestar starts pouring Mountain Dew on the Compy's keyboard, the contrast knob is missing.

===Inside References===
*The names of the "[[Sega tapes]]" are actually the following [[Videlectrix]] games: [[Pigs on Head]], [[Shploitz!]], and [[QWERTY]]. The one that says just "Space" could be "[[Spaceshipper]]", also a Videlectrix game.
*Coach Z's line, "[[Reg Having the Ball|Reg had the ball]] at the [[top of the key]]," is a direct quote from Strong Bad's [[autobiography]] tape.
*[[Far Off Lands]] is a reference to [[In Search of the Yello Dello]], where they travel through this area.
*This is another mention of [[Pizza]].
*One of the shoe boxes on Homestar's feet is from [[Freshley's]].
*This email is another reference to [[kicking The Cheat]].

===Real-World References===
[[Image:Cpep.JPG|thumb|Sgt. Cheatar]]
*"Never-ending Soda" is a parody of the [http://users.pandora.be/soundtrack-fm/Reviews/Klaus_Doldinger/neverending_story/neverending_story.htm theme song] of the 1984 fantasy movie [[IMDB:tt0088323|The NeverEnding Story]].
*The Cheat is wearing [[Wikipedia:George Harrison|George Harrison's]] costume from [[The Beatles]] album [[Wikipedia:Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band|Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band]].
*The "[[Sega Tapes]]" are actually the [[Wikipedia:cartridge (electronics)|cartridges]] used in the [[Wikipedia:Sega Genesis|Sega Genesis]], a console released in 1989 by [[Wikipedia:Sega|Sega]], which was launched during the 16-bit era of gaming. The generic brown labels on the cartridges, however, pass more of a resemblance to the ones used on the 8-bit [[Wikipedia:Sega Master System|Sega Master System]] predecessor.
**"Tape" is a somewhat common misnomer for "[[Wikipedia:cartridge (electronics)|cartridge]]" referring to cartridges' resemblance to [[Wikipedia:Compact audio cassette|cassette tapes]], which were also used in the 8-bit era for data storage (see also [[Wikipedia:Datassette|Commodore Datassette]], [http://www.atarimuseum.com/computers/8bits/400800/410/410.html Atari 410 Program Recorder]) and at the same time for mass-produced music albums. Cartridges used with video game systems like the Genesis and Master System contain semiconductor-based [[Wikipedia:Read-only memory|ROM]] chips for data storage rather than spools of [[Wikipedia:magnetic tape|magnetic tape]], so they are not actually tapes.
*[[Wikipedia:Fish Lake|Fish Lake]] is the name of a township in Minnesota. It is also the name of a lake in central Utah.

===Fast Forward===
*[[Unseen Characters#Mentioned|Jerome]] later pops up as a misbehaving kid on the [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]] version of the [[Strong Badia National Anthem]].
*When [[The Cheat's Head Exploding|The Cheat's head explodes]] in [[couch patch]], Homestar asks whether he had ever poured Mountain Dew over the Compy.
*The [[Freshley's]] shoebox Homestar wears reappears in the email [[time capsule]]. It is also seen briefly in the email [[original]], as the base of the toothpick sculpture.
*In [[retirement]], Homestar pours Mountain Dew into the [[Tandy 400]]. Strong Bad adds denture tablets, causing it to [[Explosions|explode]].
*In a flashback from [[the paper]], [[The Paper]] prevents Homestar from pouring Mountain Dew on the [[Lappy 486]].
**In an Easter Egg from the same email, Homestar sings another parody of the song from ''The Neverending Story.''
***Also in [[the paper]], Homestar repeats Coach Z's line "Reg had the ball at the top o' the key," but instead says "Homestar has the ball at the [[top of the key]]..."
*[[Sega tapes]] are mentioned again in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]], and later in [[more armies]].
*In [[winter pool]], Strong Sad's egg timer is used to show when the pool full of jello is finished.
*In [[email thunder]], Strong Bad pours Mountain Dew on Homestar's computer, the Happy, quoting Homestar's "apply liberally" line while imitating Homestar's accent, and this is a sbemail answered by Homestar, so it doesn't say it is a hremail, but it really is.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, this one is a travesty.

'''MIKE:''' But, you're not even in this e-mail, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know, which automatically makes it a travesty.

'''MIKE:''' It's your arch-nemesis, Homestar Runner.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know, it's hard, aww, look the way he's treating the Compy, like how could you do that to it? Oh.

'''MIKE:''' At least he erased it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, but he screwed up the monitor, there was smudgies on it for a while. I had to buy those special clothies.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Maybe, you know.

'''MIKE:''' I got some special clothies.

''{Strong Bad makes a sound effect}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's the sound they make when you're rubbing it down.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, okay so where were you when Home— when this was going on?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, I mean, I think.

'''MIKE:''' I mean Monday mornings, you know Monday mornings.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, but I...

'''MIKE:''' Wait, you listen to me. You're supposed to check your e-mail Monday mornings, sometimes Monday afternoons, occasionally Tuesday mornings.

'''STRONG BAD:''' One or two times Wednesday.

'''MIKE:''' Right, so where were you? Why...what happened to you?

'''STRONG BAD:''' This was one of those Wednesday times. Planning on doing it on a Wednesday. Shanghaied.

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I got, look at all those Sega tapes.

'''MIKE:''' Are those yours?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Those are my Sega tapes.

'''MIKE:''' I figured they were.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar never got to figure out how to work the Genesis.

'''MIKE:''' Are those Freshley shoes that you wear? Your wrestling boots?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, Freshleys are aptly named.

''{Mike laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''STRONG BAD:''' About the freshest shoes you can imagine. They're freshly made. Oh, The Cheat, that was, see The Cheat was coming over, that was practice that day. Cause we were gonna...

'''MIKE:''' Why was he dressed up like somebody from Sergeant Pepper's?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Cause we were gonna do our Beatles cover band for that Wednesday e-mail, and then it got Shanghai'd.

'''MIKE:''' Look at, look at what's going on here.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, this I have a hard time looking at too. Look at all that wasted soda.

'''MIKE:''' So you don't care about your keyboard?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that keyboard was disgusting anyway, man. Have you ever turned your keyboard upside down and like shook it? There's like, I had a rat one time fall out of my keyboard.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, really?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I should do that, I haven't done that in a while.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You should be careful. Get this guy out of here.

'''MIKE:''' I think it's almost over.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I mean look at him.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{types "run strongbad's__email"}'' I am going to check my email.

<blockquote class="tandy email">Dear Strongbad, 
I want to have the bestest halloween 
costume ever this year. How can I make 
a strongbad costume? 
With crap, 
Ben from Ohio University</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Ben, I couldn't agree with you more. You dress up like me this year and the ladies will flock to you like the Poopsmith to an overflowing toilet. ''{stops typing}'' But I digress. Onto the costume... ''{gets up}''

''{Cut to the Field.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' We'll demonstrate on stupid over here.

''{Homestar drops from the sky and lands in the middle of the Field.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hello!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' First, paint your head red.

''{Homestar's head is slapped and becomes red.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Then, take your shirt off... to expose your manly chest.

''{Homestar's shirt peels off and a digital blur appears over his white, [[Naked Homestar Runner|naked body]].}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Next, get some boxing gloves,—

''{Giant boxing gloves appear on Homestar's feet.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' —or if you don't have boxing gloves, oven mitts will do.

''{A huge pink oven mitt appears on Homestar's head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Next, duct tape some aluminum foil—

''{Aluminum foil appears to Homestar's right in a blue box labeled "ALUMINUM FOIL" on two sides.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' —to some twine.

''{A ball of twine appears to Homestar's left. Duct tape appears, attaches to the aluminum foil, wraps around Homestar's legs and then wraps around the twine.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' And finally, get your mom to make you a Strong Bad costume. You'll be the belle of the ball.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm a belle!{{ref|1}}

''{Cut back to Tandy 400.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sits down, doesn't type}'' Okay, so until next time, who put the "ween" in "Halloween"? I don't know. Probably you. ...you freakin' weirdo!

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

===Footnote===
# {{note|1}} This may be "bell".

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*'Belle' is [[French]] for 'beauty' or 'a beauty'. 'Belle of the ball' is a common phrase to describe the most striking woman at a party.
*The writer of this email claims to be from [[Wikipedia:Ohio University|Ohio University]]. OU is famous for its annual Halloween street party, which features several thousand costumed revelers.

===Trivia===
* This is another of the very few emails that had the "Old Emails" button on the monitor. It's since been removed by [[The Brothers Chaps]] to fit with the rest of the [[Strong Bad Email|Strong Bad Emails]].
*This is the last email where Strong Bad's head is at the right side of the screen and a bit higher, making his mouth visible. This is also the last email where his head doesn't move while talking, and the last email to use Strong Bad's old head style.
*This is the first email in which Homestar makes a personal appearance.
*This is the first email to be over one minute long.
*When Strong Bad says "you freakin' weirdo" at the end of the e-mail, he uses his current voice, without the Hispanic accent, which he uses in full for the first time in the next e-mail, [[brianrietta]].

===Remarks===
*The clouds in the background of the Field move in an unusual up-and-down pattern, instead of blowing to one side as clouds usually do in the wind.

===Goofs===
*When Homestar falls he has a circular shadow, but it disappears as soon as he lands.
*When Strong Bad returns to Tandy, the text he typed before is missing.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Clicking "back" used to take you to the Games menu instead of the Strong Bad Email menu if you clicked on it.
**This has since been fixed, although if you click on it while it is fading in, it still takes you to the Games menu.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad receives his second [[Crapfully Yours]]-style signature in this email.
*The [[oven mitt]] that Homestar is given is the same one Strong Bad was wearing in [[In Search Of The Yello Dello]].

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

'''MIKE:''' This is the last one we did before we started doing them weekly.

'''MATT:''' Yep.

'''MIKE:''' ...or relatively weekly.

'''MATT:''' And then we were still doing them... I was still in New York, livin' in New York... I was ''in'' New York and ''living'' in New York.

''{pause}''

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

'''MATT:''' Yeah, these ones, I think I just recorded them. They were so, like, simple for— this was one of the more complicated ones for early on, but I would just send you audio and you'd do the entire thing.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. It didn't take very long back then.

'''MATT:''' There's our... there's our Homestar Runner.

'''MIKE:''' The hills slash bushes in the background are a little different than usual.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, they are.

'''MIKE:''' Oooh, the pixellated, naked Homestar.

'''MATT:''' That was a big achievement. I think you— but that had already been done for the main page.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, the shower main page, yep.

'''MATT:''' That aluminum foil's really good, too.

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

'''MATT:''' Nice work, Mike.

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

'''MATT:''' Did we see, somebody sent us, uh, I think somebody did—

'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah, someone dressed up—

'''MATT:''' —Pretty much made that con...contest...

'''MIKE:''' Costume. It's costume, Matt! Costume!

'''MATT:''' Costume ''palace''! Hah! That's from one of our later we—episodes.

=== Fun Facts ===
*The episode Matt is referring to when he says "costume palace" is [[fingers]].
*The main page where Homestar appears naked in the shower is [[Main Page 14]].

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing, types "run Strongbad's__email"}'' I check, you check, we all check for email, check an email.

<blockquote class="tandy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
Tell Strong Sad he is dumb and a crappy guy , 
Your fan, 
Anthony 
from South Gate CA</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "CA" as "Cah". He then gets up.}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad's room. Strong Sad is working on a desk with a card, scissors and "SCHOOL PASTE." There are paper shards lying around.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sticks hands and head through door}'' Hey, stupid! You know some guy named Anthony from South Gate?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh yeah. I was just making him this card—

''{He picks up the card. Its front is white and has "TO: ANTHONY" written on it with a picture of Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' —and gonna send him a hundred dolla-

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, well he says you're dumb and a crappy guy. ''{leaves}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{disappointed}'' Ohhhhhhhhh. ''{starts to rip card in half}''

''{Cut back to Tandy 400.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sits back down, clears screen and starts typing}'' Look Anthony, as much as I like insulting my stupid kid brother, I'm not your freaking message service, alright? Next time, you email him yourself. ''{stops typing}'' His email address is: ''{typing}'' [mailto:depressio@homestarrunner.com depressio@homestarrunner.com] ''{stops typing}'' Okay, so until next time, ''{singing}'' "Everybody email that guy!" "What guy?" "ME!" "Everybody email that guy!"

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*For a while, emailing depressio@homestarrunner.com would result in this response:
<blockquote>Hello there, 
I hope your email wasn't full of awful, hurtful remarks like all the rest but I'll never know. I 
stopped reading emails a long time ago and wish my brother would stop giving out my address. Before you 
start making fun of me again, I'd like to share something with you. 
 
[[HR:sadjournal/wonderyears.html|http://www.homestarrunner.com/wonderyears.html]] 
 
I hope this puts us on the same page of this dusty, many volumed set of 
ever-changing encyclopedias we call Life. 
 
-Strong Sad</blockquote>

Then it changed to:
<blockquote>Strong Sad is no longer accepting emails because you people kept signing me up for "natural male enhancers." That, and the death threats weren't very cool either. 
 
Leemee 'lone! 
 
Strong Sad 
 
[[HR:sadjournal/|www.homestarrunner.com/sadjournal/]]
</blockquote>
This email account is now deleted so emailing will only get a response from a [[Wikipedia:Mailer-Daemon|Mailer-Daemon]].

The only place where the link can be found on the official site is [[Strong Sad's Lament]].

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the first time that Strong Bad pronounces a state's abbreviation as if it were just a word.
*This is the first time Strong Sad is referred to as Strong Bad's little brother. (For the record, [[Strong Mad]] is the eldest sibling, Strong Bad is the middle one, and Strong Sad is the youngest.)
*This is Strong Sad's first appearance in a Strong Bad Email.
*This is the first time Strong Bad makes noise with his computer chair. The sound, however, is not [[The Geddup Noise]].
*This is the first email ever made with an Easter Egg.

===Remarks===
*It is a physical impossibility to tear paper as Strong Sad did with the card to Anthony with one side remaining upright.
*The page title reads "Tandy 500" rather than 400.

===Real-World References===
*The design of the [[School Paste|paste container]] is similar to the [http://www.elmers.com/product/product_page.asp?pCode=E505A one] manufactured by [[Wikipedia:Elmer's Products, Inc.|Elmer's Products, Inc.]]
*Strong Bad's intro song is most likely a reference to the children's rhyme, "I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!"

===Fast Forward===
*"Depressio111117" later becomes Strong Sad's screen name in [[marzipan]] and [[Strong Sad's Lament]].

== DVD Version ==
*If you click on the hidden Strong Bad icon in the bottom left-hand corner of Tandy 400's screen at the end of the email, it takes you to Strong Sad's shoebox full of childhood memories.
**This time, instead of being able to select which items you want to look at, it goes through each in turn. In addition, the card Strong Bad gave Strong Sad is read out loud by a young Strong Bad.
*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:''' Back in the days when you could see his mouth in the reflection.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, what a dumb idea that was. Though I don't know, sometimes I think doing his mouth was less work—

'''MIKE:''' Well, if you don't move his head

'''MATT:''' Don't move his head, yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Well, when we used to barely move his head, it was fine, but now his head's constantly waggin' around.

'''MATT:''' That's my fault. So...

''{laughter}''

'''MATT:''' Look at his head! Strong Bad's head, man—

'''MIKE:''' Everyone's looking a little rough right here!

''{laughter}''

'''MATT:''' I don't know... Strong Sad's...

''{laughter}''

'''MIKE:''' That's a good sound effect.

'''MATT:''' Um... So what else? Depressio!

'''MIKE:''' There was the Some Kind of Wonderful—oh yes, Depressio. It used to be, if you emailed that email, it sent you a return email with the first Easter egg.

'''MATT:''' Hurry up and finish!

'''MIKE:''' ''{quickly}'' That was the first Easter egg ever!

'''MATT:''' ''{quickly speaking gibberish}''

== Fun Facts ==
[[Image:Sbemail2 old emails button.PNG|150px|thumb|"old emails" button]]
===Trivia===
*This is the first email in which Strong Bad makes fun of someone's [[Poorly Written Emails|spelling]].
*This is also the first email that shows an area outside of the [[computer room]].
*This is the first email where a character other than Strong Bad appears.
*This marks the first appearances of Homsar and the [[Heavy Lourde]].
*The back button at the end of this email used to go to the games menu instead of the Strong Bad Email menu (an "old emails" button used to be present that would link to the old emails). After [[flashback]] was released, [[The Brothers Chaps]] removed the old emails button and fixed the back link.
*The conclusion is a reworded version of the one in [[some kinda robot]].
*This email introduces Homsar, who later becomes one of the main [[characters]].

=== Remarks ===
* Strong Bad's mouth doesn't move when he says "doo doo doo."
* The Flash file for this email is the smallest in terms of file size at just over 100 kilobytes.
* The Heavy Lourde falls from [[Hammerspace|nowhere]].

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad's mask doesn't have laces on the back of it when he goes outside.
*Strong Bad's neck cannot be seen when he pulls away from Tandy.

===Fast Forward===
*In [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0]], Homsar leaves a message thanking [[Marzipan]] for the flowers she sent him while he was in the hospital. It's implied that he was in the hospital because the Heavy Lourde had been dropped on him in this email.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing, types 'run "strongbad's__email"'}'' Oh, who is the guy that checks all his emails? That's me, Strong Baaad.

<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:''' ''{clears screen, typing}'' Well, that's a stupid question, Abdi. Do you take off your face and hands before you go to bed? And if so, are you some kind of robot? And if so, what kind of powers do you have? Do you use them for good, or for awesome? Would you like to join forces? I just happen to be the greatest criminal mind of our time. ''{types "—Strong Bad" and then stops typing}'' Okay, until next time. Keep sending me your questions, and I will make fun of you... I mean, answer them.

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

== Fun Facts ==

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad types "before you got to bed" when he says "before you go to bed".
*After Strong Bad finishes typing a sentence, the typing sound is still played but no letters appear on the screen.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When Strong Bad typed "and if so, what kind of powers do you have?", the word "what" would not appear.

===Inside References===
*When Strong Bad says, "Oh, who is the guy that checks all his emails? That's me, Strong Baaad," it is very similar to a line he says in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]], "Who is the guy that wins all the contests? That's me, Strong Baaad."

===Real-World References===
*The phrase "the greatest criminal mind of our time" could be taken from "[[Wikipedia:Superman: The Movie|Superman: The Movie]]," where [[Wikipedia:Lex Luthor|Lex Luthor]] ([[Wikipedia:Gene Hackman|Gene Hackman]]) refers to himself with said phrase.

===Fast Forward===
*"For good or for awesome" is a suggested band name in [[band names]].
*This email comes up on Strong Bad's computer as a gag in [[flashback]].
*[[Abdi LaRue|Abdi]] is later referenced in several sbemails.
*A short clip of this email is seen in [[Accent]].
*Strong Bad does indeed remove his mask in [[the chair]].

== DVD Version ==
*The DVD version has an Easter egg. If the hidden Strong Bad icon in the bottom left-hand corner of Tandy 400's screen is clicked on at the end of the email, an [[ASCII art]] rendering of a robot will appear.
*The typing sound effect was changed.

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' In—Invisibility.

''{Mike laughs}''

'''MATT:''' The Basics.

'''MIKE:''' So this, of course, is back when you could see Strong Bad's mouth, when we would animate his mouth.

'''MATT:''' And didn't his head didn—

'''MIKE:''' His head didn't shake.

'''MATT:''' His head didn't shake around violently.

'''MIKE:''' So at some point, we thought that it would be quicker if we put his hea—the foreground head over the mouth...and, uh, just shake his head around, which now takes ''way'' longer than it ever took to just make his mouth move.

'''MATT:''' I think that's right. And Abdi LaRue was— this was from before we started doing this, we sent out, was it a fan list?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it was like a list.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, the few, just the 10 people who had ever emailed us.

'''MIKE:''' The email's almost over!

'''MATT:''' Good grief!

'''MIKE:''' Thanks, Abdi!

Trogdor

2009-01-10T19:40:14Z

Pompomerania: /* Trogdor's many incarnations */

{{aboutcharacter}} {{for-nothe|other uses|Trogdor (disambiguation)}}

[[Image:A dragon.PNG|thumb|200px|"And the Trogdor comes in the NIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!"]]
'''Trogdor the Burninator''' is an S-shaped wing-a-ling [[Dragons|dragon]] with a [[beefy arm]] that originated in the email [[dragon]]. Trogdor [[Glossary#B|burninates]] the countryside, peasants, and [[Thatched-Roof Cottage|thatched-roof cottages]] of [[Peasantry]]. He sprung from the wild imagination of [[Strong Bad]] when he was asked to show his "skills of an artist."

Trogdor quickly became more popular than [[The Brothers Chaps]] ever could have imagined, developing into one of the most recognizable figures from the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work, both on the Internet and in the real world. According to the [[Giant Magazine Interview]], the Trogdor shirt sold in the [[store]] is the best-selling item there, even more than the [[strongbad_email.exe]] DVD. Fans even dress up as the character as seen in [[Fan Costume Commentary]] and [[More Fan Costumes]], and created some interesting [[Weekly Fanstuff|fanstuff]]. In September 2006, the [[store]] began selling a [[Store Baby Clothes|line of baby clothing]] bearing a more child-friendly image of Trogdor that sold out one day later.

In his debut [[Strong Bad Email|email]], there is a heavy metal song about Trogdor with a music video drawn in pencil. According to [[dragon#Commentary Transcript|dragon's commentary]], there originally wasn't supposed to be a song in the email, but after [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] started singing it off the top of his head while making eggs, The Brothers Chaps knew they had to put it in the email. The [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]] contains an [[Trogdor (song)|extended version]] of the song. The song is also [[Trogdor (karaoke)|featured]] in [[KaraokeFun]] on the [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Two|DVD]]. [[Homestar Runner]] is the singer and gets a score of 84 out of 100.

In November 2006, the extended version of the Trogdor song made an appearance as a bonus song in the PlayStation 2 and Xbox 360 game [[Guitar Hero|Guitar Hero II]].

The goal of the [[Stand up arcade games|arcade]] game found in the [[Basement of the Brothers Strong]] (called [[TROGDOR!]]) is to squish enough peasants required to achieve burnination, while at the same time avoiding [[The Red and Blue Knights]] and the Siamese archers. The player controls the anti-hero Trogdor. The game was a fan favorite before the debut of Peasant's Quest.

In the game [[Peasant's Quest]], killing the Burninator is [[Rather Dashing]]'s goal. After Trogdor burninates his [[thatched-roof cottage]], he journeys to the Trog-Cave, only to get burninated by the dragon like many before him. In this game, Trogdor's voice is an old speech synthesizer called the [[Wikipedia:Software Automatic Mouth|Software Automatic Mouth]], or S.A.M. It's revealed that Trogdor cannot be killed in this game, yet he can be in TROGDOR!.

A [[20X6]] version of Trogdor, called [[Trogador]], was revealed at the [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005|NYU Talk]], but did not appear in the Homestar Runner canon until [[Happy Trogday]] was released on the third anniversary of Trogdor's debut.

According to the email [[myths & legends]], at some point the CG Dinosaur Channel created a special called "Walking With Trogdor".

In the email [[concert]], Strong Bad receives an email purporting to be from "Your Dragon, Trogdor", which he considered to be an impersonation.

Two of Trogdor's birthdays have been celebrated on the website. In 2006, [[Happy Trogday]] commemorated his third birthday with a fanstuff montage. However, [[Trogday 08|two years later]], Strong Bad decided to sing both an entire alphabet song and (though only after Trogdor showed up in person and forced him to) a heavy metal song about [[The S is for Sucks Dragon]] instead. He claimed that internet users had ruined Trogdor, along with zombies, pirates, ninjas and himself.

Trogdor was also the main subject of the season 1 finale of [[SBCG4AP]], [[8-Bit Is Enough]]. In it, the TROGDOR! [[Arcade Game|arcade machine]] breaks and Trogdor is released into [[Free Country, USA]], and promptly burninates [[Strong Badia]]. Driven for revenge (much like [[Rather Dashing]] in [[Peasant's Quest]]), Strong Bad sets out to kill Trogdor by enlisting the help of various other [[Videlectrix]] characters. When Strong Bad finally confronts his foe, Trogdor morphs into [[ULTIMATE TROGDOR!!!]], but is still no match for Strong Bad.

== How to draw Trogdor (according to Strong Bad) ==
#Draw an S.
#Draw a more different S.
#Close it up real good at the top for his head.
#Using consummate V's, give him teeth, spinities, and angry eyebrows.
#You can add smoke or fire.
#And maybe add some wings, you know, if he's a wing-a-ling dragon.
#Put one of those beefy arms back on him for good measure.
#Name him ''TROGDOR the BURNiNATOR''.
#Add majestic lines... for majesty.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay, bye, weirdo. What are you standing on that stool for anyway?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Yeah, things would be different alright. Though I'm a little disappointed in what I came up with for Homsar. Modestly hot my eye! I think my imagination's broke. ''{stops typing}'' Lemme try and think up the ''{starts typing again}'' Best Thing Ever. Umm... Beef... stew... ''{types this as just "Best thing ever: Beef stew."}'' Yup it's busted alright. I'm gonna go... place. ''{gets up and walks away}''

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

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:Marzipanmohawk.PNG|thumb|Marzipan's new 'do.]]
*The words "eh, Steven?" can be clicked (only the first time Strong Bad types them) to show a [[Lem Sportsinterviews|LEM]] drawing of "Eh. Steven." ([[Eh! Steve!]] in formal wear).
*Clicking on "place" at the end brings up a [[Made-up Places#Place|Place]] [[postcard]] featuring [[Monkey D]] and the skyline of Seattle, Washington. It reads: "Greetings from PLACE."
*Click to the right of "back" at the end to download the song. A credit below the download links reads "lyrics by TBC music by TMBG".
*Hidden behind Marzipan's yellow hair, if viewed in a [[Wikipedia:decompiler|decompiler]], there is another hairstyle — a bright pink spiked mohawk.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
* The music for "Different Town" was performed by [[They Might Be Giants]] especially for [[homestarrunner.com]]. However, the lyrics were written by [[The Brothers Chaps]].
*Although Strong Bad's imagination is by no means part of continuity, this is the first time that the Poopsmith speaks (if you ignore the hiss in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]]).
*If you look closely in [[Pom Pom, Too]] toon, you can see an [[ABA Basketball]] Pom.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#BAAL|BAAL]]".
*This toon has [[nondescript nouns]] ("Place").
*This is the first time since [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] that Homestar is seen in his normal attire but without his star.

===Remarks===
*Though the Big Ol' Tree moves, its shadow does not.
*When Strong Bad is "checking the lights" he should be looking to his right because according to the shadows the light comes from his right.
*During the Homsar segment, Strong Bad pantomimes finger-snapping, which is something he should not be able to do while wearing [[How do you type with boxing gloves on?|boxing gloves]].

===Goofs===
*The outlet disappears when Strong Sad appears.
*The link to the download comes up over top the Place postcard.
*Modestly Hot Homsar blinks, but her blinking doesn't continue when the email is paused, like Homestar's and Marzipan's blinking.

===Inside References===
*The postcard from PLACE in the Easter egg is a reference to Strong Bad's postcards from destinations such as OVER THERE in the email [[vacation]].
*The [[Trading Card Games|trading card]] Pom Pom was pictured on has the same design as the one featuring [[The Deke]] in [[autobiography]].


===Real-World References===
*The rhythm of Strong Bad's email song is taken from the They Might Be Giants song [[TMBW:Ana Ng|Ana Ng]] – the first time is the same as the rhythm part under the verse, and the second time is this and the vocal rhythm mixed together.
*The "[[Wikipedia:American Basketball Association|ABA]] Basketball" is indeed red, white, and blue instead of the [[Wikipedia:National Basketball Association|NBA]] orange.
*"Bubo" was the name of the clockwork owl in the film ''[[IMDB:tt0082186|Clash Of The Titans]]'', later featured as an avatar on [[Strong Sad's Lament]]. Strong Sad was dressed as Calibos, the villain of that movie. Both Bubo and Calibos were [[Stop Motion|animated]] by [[Wikipedia:Ray Harryhausen|Ray Harryhausen]], whose work was also referenced in [[redesign]].
*"Wolksvagen" is a play on words of the German automobile manufacturer: [[Wikipedia:Volkswagen|Volkswagen]]. The funny pronunciation comes from the fact that the two letters are reversed from the normal abbreviation, VW. In German, the name is pronounced "'''F'''olks'''v'''agen".
*The board behind Homestar says "[[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU]]" and "DeBry," which is a parody of [[Wikipedia:DeVry University|DeVry University]].
*The guitar Marzipan is playing is "[http://www.philbrodieband.com/muso_george_lynch03.jpg Mr. Scary]," the one [[Wikipedia:George Lynch (musician)|George Lynch]] used during his years with the '80s metal band [[Wikipedia:Dokken|Dokken]].
*The "Marzipan" amps are a play on the ubiquitous [[Wikipedia:Marshall Amplification|Marshall Amps]], which feature similar styling and font.
*Marzipan's blond hairdo may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Heart (band)|Heart]] guitarist [[Wikipedia:Nancy Wilson (guitarist)|Nancy Wilson]].
*Strong Bad's outfit during the "And this little weirdo" sequence is similar to outfits worn by many glam-rock musicians, such as [[Wikipedia:Led Zeppelin|Led Zeppelin's]] [[Wikipedia:Robert Plant|Robert Plant]] and [[Wikipedia:Queen (band)|Queen's]] [[Wikipedia:Freddie Mercury|Freddie Mercury]].
*Homsar says "I'm forever your girl," a quote from the 1989 song and album titled "[http://www.lyricsdepot.com/paula-abdul/forever-your-girl.html Forever Your Girl]" by [[Wikipedia:Paula Abdul|Paula Abdul]].

===Fast Forward===
*Homestar's eyes will again be threatened with hot soup in [[New Boots]], this time by The Cheat.
*Strong Bad's statement that they have recessed lighting is confirmed in [[pop-up]] when Strong Bad jumps to the ceiling.
*Marzipan actually does end up playing rock music when she starts the band [[Cool Tapes]] and in the musical short [[One Two, One Two]].
*A screenshot of Modestly Hot Homsar is shown again in the "[[Discount Flashback Warehouse]]" Easter egg in [[flashback]].
*Strong Bad would once again don the miner's helmet in [[Ever and More!]].
*30 emails later, Strong Bad would have no trouble thinking of the [[best thing]] ever: the [[Limozeen]] cartoon show.
*The box of peas the King of Town was buried in is found underneath Strong Badia in [[buried]].
*The Poopsmith breaks his vow of silence in [[email thunder]].

== DVD Version ==
*The Eh! Steven Easter egg is viewable using the angle button on your DVD remote.
*The download link for Different Town has been disabled for obvious reasons.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary, as well as the ''original'' version of the Different Town song, as sung by John Linnell. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''MATT:''' Another commentary.

'''MIKE:''' This is a commentary- My name is Mike Chapman. This is my younger brother Matt, he's three years younger than me.

'''MATT:''' That's all true.

'''MIKE:''' So, this commentary track- we're going to allow John Linnell from They Might Be Giants- we're gonna put on his original track. They co-wrote the song for this e-mail.

'''MATT:''' -did all the music for it, I just sent an email with some of the words and a couple of notes and that- that's it.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, so that's what we're going to play for the, um—

'''MATT:''' ''{quickly}'' Here it comes!

''{The Different Town music track is played, with [[They Might Be Giants|John Linnell]] singing Strong Bad's lines (no other character's lines are said.)}''

'''MATT:''' I think I used a Miss Georgia, or Miss California, or something picture, for a reference for the hot Homsar.

'''MIKE:''' Probably was Miss Georgia.

'''MATT:''' You think so?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. She's pretty hot

'''MATT:''' So, we liked Clash of the Titans a lot.

'''MIKE:''' True. It, uh, scared me when I was little. And I like the special effects.

'''MATT:''' And it delights you in your old age.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' It does.

'''MATT:''' Bubo was, of course, the R2-D2 of Clash of The Titans.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, the robot owl.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. But it was clockwork, Mike, there were no robotics back then. The gods had a mastery of clockworks, though.

'''MIKE:''' Gears.

'''MATT:''' Gears of...shimmies. Uh, Manhunter of New York, I believe, is in the diskbox there.

'''MIKE:''' ''Great'' game.

'''MATT:''' It's a great game. Speaking of terribly awkward graphics. ''{Mike laughs}'' That's something else that scared me when I was younger and delights me in my old age, is Manhunter of New York.

'''MIKE:''' Eyeballs. Flying eyeballs.

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

'''MIKE:''' Orbs. Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Poor guy.

===Goofs===
*Matt incorrectly identifies the game in the [[Floppy Disk Container]] as "Manhunter of New York." It is actually "BAAL." The game "Manhunter of New York" appeared in the Floppy Disk container in [[Arcade Game]] and [[caper]].

The Paper

2009-01-10T17:36:52Z

Pompomerania:

{{about|[[pseudocharacter]]}} {{foremail|the paper}}
[[Image:close Paper.png|thumb|right|"Talk to my man with the green and white stripes."]]
'''The Paper''' was the piece of printer paper that came down from the top of the screen after nearly every [[Strong Bad Email]], up until [[the paper]], when it was replaced by [[New Paper]]. It usually would read:

{| cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" style="text-align:center;font-family: courier new, monospace;width:350px"
|- style="background:#E0F5E1;"
|  
|- style="background:#F8F8F8;"
| > Click here to e-mail strong bad
|- style="background:#E0F5E1;"
| strongbad@homestarrunner.com
|}

In the first twenty emails, it contained just the first line without an email address. If you click and hold the link on The Paper, the email address will disappear. The Paper coming down usually signals the end of the email; however, the majority of [[Easter egg]]s can be found after The Paper has come down. One can either wait around or click on certain words [[Strong Bad]] has typed. It is shown in [[the paper]] that Strong Bad had its printer above his desk, but it is still unclear exactly where it was attached to. This seemingly magical paper can sometimes be seen manifesting itself out of the clear blue sky, where it can seem huge in comparison to its normal size. Some suggest that it's merely in the foreground. On occasion, Strong Bad has touched The Paper in closeup, making The Paper look even more like it's gigantic compared to everything else by having his hand seem notably smaller than The Paper.

From the sound it made and the quality of the printout, the printer that produces The Paper can be assumed to be of the [[Wikipedia:dot matrix printer|dot matrix]] variety. The sprocket holes on the edges further indicated that it had a tractor feed mechanism. Both technologies are almost completely [[Strong Bad's Technology|outmoded]]. In most appearances, The Paper prints upside-down from how a real dot-matrix printer would operate; that is, the ''last'' line prints first toward the free edge of the page. However, as seen in [[the paper]], it is also capable of printing in the "normal" orientation. A drawing of the printer in [[lady fan]] also shows the printer operating in this way.

[[Image:Broken Paper.png|thumb|"wE haDd A goOd RUN, oLD buDddy."]]
It was foretold in [[montage]] that The Paper would stick around until email #173, at which time Strong Bad would upgrade to an [[New Paper|inkjet printer]]. This did indeed come to pass. The Paper's printer began to malfunction, and fell from its hidden spot above the computer. After a series of flashbacks reminiscing about The Paper, it bade Strong Bad farewell, and he cremated it with the [[BMW lighter]]. Its ashes spelled "Bye now". Strong Bad then sang a lament for his departed friend: "And The Paper goeth into the niiIIiiIIiiIIght!"

Despite The Paper's demise on the website, The Paper returned alive and well in ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People]]'', as part of the in-game menu. It also returned to the site for Strong Bad's [[email thunder|200th email]], when it fought the [[New Paper]] offscreen. It was then accidentally burned to a crisp once more by the electrocuting Happy 8600.

The [[onomatopoeia]] for The Paper's sound effect is "[[preeeeow]]", mentioned in [[autobiography]], [[haircut]], [[part-time job]], [[garage sale]], [[lady fan]], [[coloring]], and [[the paper]]. The Paper is always referred to with an [[integral article]].

== Abnormal Sayings ==
The Paper has displayed messages other than the standard "Click here to e-mail Strong Bad" link.

*At the end of [[Superbowl Dealie]], it reads, "Due to the big game, the Strong Bad Email will be late this week."
*At the end of [[Arcade Game]], it reads, "Click here to play the Trogdor arcade game."
*At the end of [[duck pond]], it reads, "Click here to play '[[Duck Pond]]'".
*At the end of [[King of Town Email]], The Paper comes down and reads, "Nobody wants to e-mail The King of Town. For real."
*In the [[HR:crazycartoon.html|Toons Menu version]] of [[crazy cartoon]], it appears in [[Powered by The Cheat]] form and reads ">>>The End<<<".
*In the [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]] and [[Podstar Runner]] versions of Strong Bad Emails, it simply reads, ">>The End<<", due to the inability to link to Strong Bad's email address.
*It displays the menu options on the [[strongbad_email.exe]] DVD. There is also a "bottom-feeding Paper" reading "Make your selection and mash GO, moron!"
*In the email [[animal]], it reads "Enough already, Strong Bad" above the usual email information.
*At the end of [[Sick Day]], a very unhealthy-looking (crumpled) The Paper reads "Strong Bad, I can't come in today."
*At the end of [[cliffhangers]], it reads, "Tune in next time for the cliff hanging conclusion!!"
*In [[retirement]], The Paper translates what the broken [[Tandy 400]] and [[Compy 386]] are trying to tell Strong Bad. At the end of retirement A it read, "To Be Continued Tomorrow!" before retirement A and retirement B were merged. At the end of the email The Paper reads, "It was me. I like hushpuppies."
*In [[the paper]], it shares its last words with Strong Bad: "I tHiNK i'MM rEAlllyy QUItTinG sTROng BBBaD" and "wE haDd A goOd RUN, oLD buDddy". The earliest words of The Paper are revealed to be "Preeeeow, world." In the basketball flashback, it reads "Manute Bol". During the flashback to its preppy phase, it reads "golf". Just before saving Strong Bad from [[The Island]], it reads "Anybody need a lift?" After Strong Bad's flashback, it reads "iT is Tiime. YOU kNOw WhHat to dO". After Strong Bad "cremates" The Paper, its ashes spell "bye now."
*In ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]]'', the Paper occasionally pops down to give instructions on various bonus modes of the game.

== Other "The Paper" Oddities ==
===General===
*At the end of [[guitar]], Strong Bad uses the [[BMW Lighter]] and unintentionally scorches The Paper.
**In an Easter egg in the DVD version of [[caffeine]], The Paper gets scorched again by Strong Bad's science project, "The Effects Of Gasoline On Fire".
*In [[sb_email 22]], The Paper only comes down at the end of the [[sb_email 22#Easter Eggs|press conference]] Easter egg.
*The printer for The Paper is apparently female; at the end of [[invisibility]], the contrast knobs of the [[Tandy 400]] can be repeatedly clicked to produce the message "tell the printer i'll miss her." However, The Paper itself is male, as mentioned in [[animal]] when Strong Bad asks "him" to come down and meet the new [[Lappy 486]].
*Apparently, The Paper can also produce counterfeit money; in an Easter egg in [[couch patch]], one can click on a hidden link to make The Paper print out an [[ASCII art]] million dollar bill.
*Strong Bad also uses The Paper in [[autobiography]] to print out the actual email. He runs the command "print_of_it.exe" to do so.
**Later in this email, The Paper takes a while to signal the end of the email due to a paper jam (according to Strong Bad).
*In [[theme park]], The Paper comes down twice.
*In [[extra plug]], even when the power is out, The Paper still comes down, with the help of [[Strong Mad]] and [[The Cheat]].
*In [[coloring]], [[Larry Palaroncini]] is heard singing The Paper's signature noise as it comes down and his song ends.
[[Image:The Paper---Shreder'd + montage.PNG|thumb|220px|right|'Twas foretold]]
*In [[more armies]], the email just before its death, The Paper comes down crumpled and torn, prompting Strong Bad to comment, "that's a bad sign."
*In [[the paper]], The Paper is seen in Strong Bad's flashbacks:
**In a "Goth phase" The Paper is entirely black and has [[blood]] dripping from it.
**In a "Preppy phase" it is seen with a pink polo shirt with a turquoise sweater draped around it (blood also drips from it).

===When it has a mind of its own===
*At the end of [[50 emails]] it comes down prematurely, ending an email which, in Strong Bad's opinion, was not quite over.
*The Paper can occasionally follow orders, though. In [[date]] and [[for kids]], Strong Bad instructs The Paper when to come down to bring the email to a close.
*In [[the facts]], The Paper comes down after [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] says, "And that's the end of my show, DONK!" Strong Bad objects to this.
*In [[animal]], The Paper nervously goes back up when meeting the Lappy. It then tells Strong Bad via printout (see [[#Abnormal Sayings|above]]) that he's stopped being funny for the day.
*In [[part-time job]], The Paper doesn't come down on its own. Instead, "ps: preeeeow" must be clicked to make it come down.
*In [[Sick Day]], The Paper is wrinkled and produces a sick-sounding noise, and tells Strong Bad that it can't come in. It then retreats when Strong Bad asks if he can blow his nose on it.
*In [[retirement]], The Paper suddenly appears and offers to translate the Tandy 400 and Compy 386's language of "extravagantly broken computer." Later, The Paper explains to Strong Bad that it is the one that likes hushpuppies.
*In The Paper's last moments in [[the paper]] it shares its last words with Strong Bad; "I tHiNK i'MM rEAlllyy QUItTinG sTROng BBBaD", "wE haDd A goOd RUN, oLD buDddy", and then after Strong Bad's flashback, "iT is Tiime. YOU kNOw WhHat to dO". After Strong Bad burns The Paper the ashes spell "bye now."
*In [[email thunder]], the [[New Paper]] begins advertising Homestar's HREmails. It is then dragged off the top of the screen and presumably beat up, and The Paper comes down, much to Strong Bad's delight. It is burned by sparks from Homestar's computer shortly thereafter.

===When it shows up in odd places===
*In [[stand-up]], it comes down in front of the [[Telebision]] after the end of [[Strong Sad]]'s video.
*In [[little animal]], it appears at the top of the screen while Strong Mad chases Strong Bad around the room. It also remains there when you switch to [[Strong Man]] chasing [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]] and back.
*In [[the bird]], it comes down from the sky. [[Pom Pom]] lifts the corner and [[Homestar Runner Peeking|peeks out]] from under it.
*In [[property of ones]], it comes down over the [[Cold Ones]] [[:Image:sbemail39.PNG|needlepoint]].
*In [[big white face]], it appears above [[The Poopsmith]], who pokes at it with his shovel.
*In [[replacement]], it appears above Strong Bad's grave.
*In [[garage sale]], it comes down from the sky. When viewing the Homestar Runner Easter egg, it remains centered on the screen even as the scene shifts to the left.
*In [[lady...ing]], The Paper comes down to the right of the Lappy (although centered on the screen), after Strong Bad has fallen asleep on that side.
*In [[redesign]], The Paper comes down in front of the "Redesigning SBEMAILS, JERK FOOT" logo.
*In [[retirement]], it appears on the roof of [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] and in the field.
*In [[the paper]], The Paper is shown blocking for Strong Bad in a basketball-type game (Homestar was using a rubber football). After it blocked the shot Homestar comments "Aw, man! Wish I had a time-and-space-transcending piece of paper on my team" (at which point Homsar appears). It also rescues Strong Bad from a sinking island.

===When it's not The Paper===
[[Image:Supra Modern Telegram.png|thumb|Old-Timey The Paper]]
[[Image:Soapoperapaper.png|thumb|The Paper in email [[lady fan]]]]
*In the [[little animal#DVD Version|DVD Version]] of [[little animal]], the [[Old-Timey]] version of The Paper is a [[Supra Modern Telegram]] reading "-the end-".
*In [[superhero name]], a comic book with an "email Strong Bad" link appears in lieu of The Paper.
*In [[vacation]], The Paper does not appear at all.
*In [[japanese cartoon]], The Paper is replaced with an anime credits list.
*In [[crazy cartoon]] and [[mile]], a [[Powered by The Cheat]] version of The Paper appears.
*In [[dreamail]], The Paper takes the form of an upside-down copy of the [[Wikipedia:United States Constitution|United States Constitution]], with the Strong Bad email link scribbled at the top.
**This is the fifth time in seven consecutive emails that The Paper has had at least one unusual twist.
*In [[death metal]], the link to Strong Bad's email address is on the bottom of the death metal worksheet.
*In [[lady fan]], The Paper is shown coming out of a printer in a "boring soap-opera comic".
*In [[the paper]], The Paper is updated to an inkjet printer.
*In [[bike thief]], The [[New Paper]] prints out in the green-white-"stripedy" style of The Paper, causing Strong Bad to comment that it "makes him feel a little better".

Different Town Character Variations

2009-01-10T16:05:26Z

Pompomerania:

[[Strong Bad]]'s song from '''[[different town]]''' about changing [[Free Country, USA]] created eight '''character variations.'''
{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 style="border-collapse:collapse"
|- bgcolor=#eeeeee
! Image !! Variation !! Description
|- id= "Talking The Poopsmith"
| [[Image:The Poopsmith, he could talk.png|150px|"Hello!"]] || Talking [[Poopsmith]] || "The Poopsmith, he could talk."

Two years after this email's release, it is implied that the real Poopsmith breaks his vow of silence in [[senior prom]]. Then, in [[email thunder]], The Poopsmith breaks his vow to sing Strong Bad's 200th email song. In this appearance, he is voiced by [[John Linnell]].
|- id= "Rocker Marzipan"
| [[Image:rockermarzipan.PNG|150px]] || Rocker [[Marzipan]] ||[[Image:Marzipanmohawk.PNG|thumb|120px|If the Flash file of the email is decompiled, a pink spiky-haired Marzipan appears.]]
"And Marzipan would rock."

Marzipan later founds a rock band, [[Cool Tapes]], in the big toon [[Cool Things]] and performs a rock solo in the short [[One Two, One Two]].
|- id= "Big Ol' Tree"
| [[Image:bigoltree.png|150px]] || Big Ol' Tree || "And [[The Stick]] would be this big ol' tree that'd try to eat everyone except [[The Cheat]] and me." Strong Mad's relationship with the tree is uncertain.
|- id= "Evil Strong Sad"
| [[Image:evilstrongsad.PNG|150px|"I'm evil."]] || Evil [[Strong Sad]] || [[Image:ssad asTitan Calibos.PNG|thumb|120px|Strong Sad wears fake horns and a fake tail at the end of the email.]]
"My stupid baby brother would have been born with horns and a tail."
|- id= "Jacketed Coach Z"
| [[Image:cooljacket.png|150px|"Check it out, yo!"]] || Jacketed [[Coach Z|Coach Z]] || "Coach Z would wear this cool jacket." The jacket reads "Totally [[Style]]!" and has a drawing of a thumbs-up on it.
|- id= "Starless Homestar Runner"
| [[Image:starlesshomestar.png|150px|"I quit!"]] || Starless [[Homestar Runner]] || "And Homestar just couldn't hack it."

This email was the first toon since [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] in which Homestar's star was removed.
|- id= "ABA Basketball Pom Pom"
| [[Image:abapompom.png|150px|Main Pointmaker #7]] || [[ABA Basketball]] [[Pom Pom]] || "And Pom Pom wouldn't change at all 'cept he'd look like an ABA Basketball."

Another Pom that resembled a basketball was seen in [[Pom Pom, Too]].
|- id= "Modestly Hot Homsar"
| [[Image:modestly_hot_homsar.png|"DaAaAa. I'm forever your girl!"]] || Modestly Hot [[Homsar]] || [[Image:sketchbook 040719 modestlyhothomsar.png|thumb|220px| Early designs of Modestly Hot Homsar were featured in the [[Sketchbook]] during the week of [[Sketchbook 2004#SK-2004-07-19|July 19, 2004]].]]
"And this little weirdo would be a modestly hot girl to help me through the hard times. You know, the kind that are only sorta hot so they don't mess around with other guys."

Modestly Hot Homsar speaks in Homsar's normal masculine voice. Upon coming up with this character, Strong Bad believes his imagination is temporarily broken (and decides he's right when the best thing in the world he can think of is beef [[stew]]).

Modestly Hot Homsar made a cameo appearance in an Easter egg in the following email, [[flashback]]. According to [[Matt Chapman]] in the [[Giant Magazine Interview]], Modestly Hot Homsar's shape was based on a past [[Wikipedia:Miss California|Miss California]] whom he "traced fairly closely."

Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship

2009-01-09T03:17:09Z

Pompomerania: /* Other References to their Relationship */

[[Image:Marzipan Frowns in Narrator.PNG|thumb|"...until a dorky chef's hat threatened to tear them apart."]]
[[Homestar Runner]] and [[Marzipan]], although officially dating, have a rather tenuous '''relationship''', as has been evidenced several times. While they are occasionally affectionate toward one another, their relationship is most often strained, as Strong Bad observes when he refers to Marzipan as Homestar's "estranged girlfriend". Homestar frequently insults Marzipan (although he may not realize that he is doing so), and Marzipan occasionally treats Homestar with contempt. Occasionally, they even break up or mention breaking up. Nevertheless, they always end up together again. Marzipan, at least, regards their relationship as [[Wikipedia:open relationship|open]], and as such has gone on dates with [[The Cheat]] and [[Bubs]]. Homestar's chagrin at this shows that he does not agree with Marzipan's assessment of their relationship as open.

==Homestar offending Marzipan==
*[[In Search of the Yello Dello Commentary]] — Homestar laughs at Marzipan for being "funny lookin'".
*[[Homestarloween Party]] — Homestar chooses to stand next to Bubs instead of Marzipan and has her stand next to [[Strong Bad]].

*[[The Best Decemberween Ever]] — Homestar says Marzipan's gift ideas are terrible and that he doesn't even want to see what she got him.
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 6.0#Message 1|Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 6.0]] — Homestar calls Marzipan "kind of annoying, and overbearing, and kind of a big hippie".
*Email [[helium]] — Homestar disagrees with Marzipan over whether the floating object is The Cheat or an ugly bird.
*[[Where's The Cheat?]] — Homestar says, "Hey, Stupid!" to Marzipan.
*Email [[date]] — An entire [[Strong Bad Email]] about an unsuccessful date between Homestar and Marzipan.
*[[3 Times Halloween Funjob]] — Marzipan mentions that Homestar killed [[Credenza]] by watering him with [[Wikipedia:Yoo-Hoo|Yoo-Hoo]]. Homestar also says the séance Marzipan has planned for the evening sounds "dumb and boring".
*Email [[the bet]] — Homestar denies Marzipan's request to stop saying "sup?".
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 10.2#Easter Eggs|Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 10.2]] — Homestar has used Marzipan's credit card to buy himself a race car bed.
*[[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] — Homestar fails to come up with a way to protect Marzipan from crime.
*[[Tis True Pom Pom Tis True]] — At the end, Homestar says Marzipan has a [[big butt]].
*[[Homestar Presents: Presents]] — Homestar allows Strong Bad to steal Marzipan's purse.
*Email [[long pants]] — Homestar mistakes Marzipan for a broom.
*[[Happy Fireworks]] — Homestar tells a [[Cardboard Marzipan|cardboard version of Marzipan]] to shut up.
*[[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]] — In the [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig#End 1: Tofu Homestar|Tofu Homestar ending]], Homestar tells Marzipan, "That costume makes your butt look big."
*Email [[narrator]] — Homestar says Marzipan looks like an "enormous alien cow".
*Email [[strong badathlon]] — Homestar jumps down and knocks out Marzipan and [[Strong Sad]] during their performence.
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2#Message 6|Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2]] — Homestar discovers text messaging and is very glad that he and Marzipan will no longer have to talk to each other.
*[[Why Come Only One Girl]] — Homestar tells Marzipan, "None of your business, stupid!" (accidentally confusing it with telling her his cousins are coming).
*[[Date Nite]] — Homestar says Marzipan looks like "fox's mother", a mistake for "foxy mama", which Marzipan says is even more offensive. Homestar says "You know what I mean. The more offensive one."

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*In filmic terms, scholars [[Wikipedia:David Bordwell|David Bordwell]] and Kristin Thompson define a [[Wikipedia:Montage (film)|montage]] sequence as "a segment of film which summarizes a topic or compresses a passage of time into brief symbolic or typical images." Also, montage sequences generally represent a longer passage of time than the also-typical "dissolve" or "fade" techniques between shots.

===Trivia===
*This is the earliest email confirmed to be sent by an HRWiki user: [[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]].
*In the original version of this email, the background was static while Strong Bad and the wagon were spinning around. It has since been fixed to blurred trees and The Stick.
*This email introduces an updated, more symmetrical version of the gray "horns" on Strong Bad's mask.

===Remarks===
*Homestar gets less money for a shirt than he gets for a half-eaten breakfast burrito in [[HR:auction.html|"Some Type of Online Auction"]].
*Strong Bad probably changed Steve's name to Watered Down to prevent another "[[Eh! Steve!]]" crack, like he did in [[kids' book]] and [[different town]].
*The scoreboard in the gym has the word "TIMES" written under the timer.

===Goofs===
*As The Cheat keeps getting doors slammed in his face as a salesman, the last place he visits with the blue wall and white door, the door frame ends before the bottom of the toon's frame, and the right end of the door ends before the right of the frame.
*Just after Strong Bad clicks his stopwatch, the landscape shifts slightly and the piles of pancakes change in height and location. This occurs because the jpeg image used for the screen transition didn't exactly match the previous frame.

===Glitches===
*Between The Wagon's picture and The Paper's picture, there's a split-second sound clip that sounds like the beginning of "It's" from the Champeenship montage, and the Easter egg at the end.

===Inside References===
*The scene with Strong Bad and the Wagon Fulla Pancakes sitting in the canoe is reminiscent of [[lures & jigs]], where Strong Bad and Coach Z fish in the exact same spot. This is probably prompted by the [[lures & jigs]] DVD Commentary, in which [[The Brothers Chaps]] decide to reuse the lake, and which was presumably recorded before this email came out. In this email, TBC also reused [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (place)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]], the [[Quite Fancy 'Chup|ketchup]] and fries from [[funny]], the [[The Halloween House|house]] from [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], and [[The Movie Theater]] from [[A Jorb Well Done]].
*The song Strong Bad sings when he falls in love with the wagon is reminiscent of the style of [[The Kinda Long-Haired Band]].
*The [[Taranchula]] album cover is the same one from the liner notes of [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], on which their song [[Moving Very Slowly]] appears. The name "Taranchula" also appears in the e-mail [[band names]].
*The first and last house that The Cheat and the Wagon Fulla Pancakes stop at are the same house. They are also the same format of the house that you give treats from in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].
*Besides the [[The Cheat's Smoking Challenge|smoking game]] and [[big white face]], this is the first actual cartoon in which we see [[Smoking#The Cheat's Smoking|The Cheat smoking]]. Strong Bad originally acknowledged The Cheat's nicotine habit in [[Where's The Cheat?]]
*The sparkling water seen while Strong Bad is running on the horizon seems to be the same from [[Main Page 3]].
*The lyric "Lifting weights and feeling all right", from the song played during the training montage, may be a reference to [[dangeresque 3]]'s "Riding in a Corvette and feeling all right" lyric.
*"The #1" T-Shirt is loosely referenced by Strong Sad in the commentary of [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD|In Search Of The Yello Dello]].
**Though the shirt Strong Sad refers to says "''I'm'' #1" according to him, as opposed to "''The'' #1."
*Strong Bad has a problem identifying things that rhyme with "agon" in song. In this email, he mistakes a wagon for a girl, and in [[dragon]] he mistakes a dragon for a man, or maybe a dragon man. He catches the mistake both times.
*The buzzer used for the scoreboard is the same as the [[DELETED]] buzzer.
*The score of -1 is the first instance of an [[Scoreboard#Irregular Scores|irregular score]].

===Real-World References===
*The song Homestar is singing in the Easter egg ("You're the Best") comes from the 1984 classic ''[[Wikipedia:The Karate Kid|The Karate Kid]]''. Homestar's headband, bearing the design of an old Japanese flag, is also a reference to this film, and has appeared before in both [[pom pom]] and [[Theme Song Video]].
**There is actually a song called "Training Montage" from Rocky IV by Vince DiCola.
**The scene during which "You're the Best" plays in ''The Karate Kid'' is another well-known martial arts training montage.
*Much of the wagon's training sequence (especially the wagon "running" up the stairs) is a parody of the training sequence from the immortal boxing epic, ''[[Wikipedia:Rocky (series)|Rocky]]'', including the "[[Wikipedia:Rocky Steps|Rocky steps]]".
*The Strong Bad Easter egg is a take on the popular [[Nintendo|NES]] game ''[[Wikipedia:Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!|Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!]]'', in which players saw a similar sequence in between bouts of various boxing circuits (the jumps from Minor to Major, and from Major to World).
**The ''Punch-Out!!'' sequence itself was a clear reference to the training sequence in ''[[Wikipedia:Rocky (series)|Rocky]]''.
*There actually is a system call in the [[Wikipedia:Unix|Unix]] operating system called <tt>creat</tt>. It creat(e)s a new file.
*The "some guy from a zoo" line by Strong Bad during the "Late-Night Talk Show"-style intro is most likely a reference to how such shows often resort to the gimmick of having zoo workers appear on the show, accompanied by their animal partners, whose mischievous antics can often get a cheap laugh from the audience.
*The line about Strong Bad's show being canceled before the commercial break may be a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Turn-On|Turn-On]]'', which was pre-empted by many affiliates a mere 10 minutes into its pilot episode.
*The End Credits Photo Montage song is reminiscent of the ''[[Wikipedia:Queen (band)|Queen]]'' song "Headlong."
*''[[Wikipedia:Animal Planet|Animal Planet]]'' is a TV network devoted to programs about animals and nature.
* The "Where are they now" photos and text at the end of the email are a likely reference to the ending of the 1973 film [[Wikipedia:American Graffiti|American Graffiti]], where it was first used, or the 1978 movie [[Wikipedia:National Lampoon's Animal House|National Lampoon's Animal House]].

*The Paper does indeed stick around until email #173 ([[the paper]]), at which time Strong Bad actually does upgrade to an [[New Paper|inkjet printer]]. This change was also foreshadowed in email 172 ([[more armies]]) when The Paper comes down torn and sick looking. Strong Bad remarks that "that's a bad sign".
*Strong Bad says "Tonight" the same way in death metal, but it is spelt "tonite".

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

'''MATT:''' Listen... ''{Strong Bad says, "actress Marzipan" in the background.}'' And we've got Marzipan right here with us!

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously, indecipherable}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah!

'''MATT:''' He called you an actress. Isn't that nice?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah!

'''MATT:''' Seems like usually he calls you something worse than that.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah!

''{Matt and Mike both laugh.}''

'''MIKE:''' You're doing a good job acting right now, saying the word "yeah" over and over again.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Thank you.

'''MATT:''' Oh, thank you. A new word.

'''MARZIPAN:''' So, what are we here for, today?

'''MIKE:''' We're doing the commentary for the "montage" email.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. We're here in this tiny, glass-enclosed booth, recording some commentary.

'''MARZIPAN:''' It is getting smelly in here, too.

'''MATT:''' It is. Mike and I have been in here all day.

'''MARZIPAN:''' It smells like Fritos.

'''MIKE:''' Have you ever seen this email before?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I... haven't.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' Look, he's got a wagon fulla pancakes, isn't that something?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Those are not real pancakes.

'''MIKE:''' No? What are they?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I dunno, I think they're made out of plaster.

'''MATT:''' Look, Mike, there's the lake that did appear later as per your, uh, prophecy on the old DVD.

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

'''MATT:''' Your comments of the—

'''MIKE:''' ''{indecipherable}''

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that we were going to use it later and— and we did, just a few weeks after that I think.

'''MARZIPAN:''' It really is starting to smell.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Let's comment more on the— on the email. Is that— that was completely new, that— I mean it looks kind of like the one from — can't say "job" — doesn't it? But that theater—?

'''MIKE:''' It's been modified for the theater, yeah.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Um, we should head back there someday, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' And maybe we will.

'''MATT:''' For a movie.

'''MIKE:''' Look, there's your friend The Cheat.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Look, the pancakes are wearing a hat, Marzipan.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I see.

'''MATT:''' And holding a briefcase somehow.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' And now they're enjoying a highball.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I didn't know that The Cheat smoked!

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' He's got a problem.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I didn't know that—

'''MIKE:''' ''{whispering}'' There's your boyfriend.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar had that— that's ''my'' shirt.

'''MATT:''' That's yours? Uh oh, 'cause he sells it later on in this email, so—

'''MARZIPAN:''' That was mine! I was wondering what happened to it.

'''MATT:''' He got a good deal for it, at least.

'''MARZIPAN:''' What'd he get?

'''MATT:''' Uh, I'm not sure. Probably, like, 17 dollars.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I'll tell him he needs to split the proceeds.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' He should. Sounds like it should ''all'' go to you; it was ''your'' shirt.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' A nice sunset.

'''MARZIPAN:''' It's okay.

''{Pause}''

'''MATT:''' Ohhh, Homestar looks like Daniel LaRusso—

'''MIKE:''' His Karate's a joke. "You think you can rely on that crane crap?"

'''MARZIPAN:''' He's actually trained in Tae Kwon Do.

'''MATT:''' Really? Homestar is?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Wow.

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's probably why he didn't do well with the Karate.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' Oh ho! He learned the wrong martial art.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Right.

'''MATT:''' What do you think of this, um, end of the— end of the movie photo montage?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I think it's okay.

'''MATT:''' See, look. Oh! He— no, sorry, I lied. He got it for three bucks. Not 17.

'''MIKE:''' You got a buck-fifty comin' to ya.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I— Animal Planet's my favorite program.

'''MATT:''' Hey, isn't "cancelled" spelled wrong there?

'''MIKE:''' Was it?

'''MATT:''' I think "cancelled" only has one L. Let's change that before we put out this DVD.

'''MIKE:''' We can— ''{Pause}'' Oh, it's not over yet.

'''MATT:''' Oh, it's not, Marzipan.

'''MIKE:''' You might think it's over, but it's not.

'''MATT:''' Say something!

'''MIKE:''' Now it's over.

===Fun Facts===
*Daniel LaRusso is the name of the main character from ''[[Wikipedia:The Karate Kid|The Karate Kid]]''.

{{charnav|Strong Bad|sb|Homestar Runner|The Cheat}}
[[Image:currentbad.png|thumb|"Computer over? Virus equals very yes? That's not a good prize!"]]
== Biography ==

'''Strong Bad''' is one of the most well-known characters in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work. He started out as the villain who tried to cheat his way to the top but was always doomed to fail before [[Homestar Runner]]. In the manner that minor characters become [[Wikipedia:breakout character|breakout characters]], he's now less of a villain and more of a highly expanded form of comic relief, with his irascible sarcasm and rough voice seeming to make him ever more popular with fans of the website.

He answers [[Strong Bad Email|emails]] with a passion, and will [[Poorly Written Emails|make fun]] of their grammar, punctuation, and spelling—although he's not overly worried about [[Strong Bad's Spelling|his own]]. He also hates to be asked about [[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|how he manages to type with boxing gloves on]]. He usually does what he does best when he gets an e-mail like that: '''[[DELETED|DELETED!!]]''' He also writes, illustrates, and narrates the series of [[Teen Girl Squad]] comics.

Strong Bad is the middle child of [[The Brothers Strong]]. His is the dominant personality and he loves to push everyone around: he's often abusing Homestar, [[Kicking The Cheat|kicking]] [[The Cheat]], [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|prank-calling]] [[Marzipan]], or [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship|tormenting]] [[Strong Sad]] (although it's been hinted that they [[The Secrets That I Keep|got along]] when they were younger). Although he seems to dislike or positively loathe most people, he enjoys the company of [[Bubs]], The Cheat (his ever-diligent lackey), [[Strong Mad]] (his older brother), and, [[Strong Bad and Pom Pom's Relationship|to a lesser extent]], [[Pom Pom]].

[[Image:Baby strong bad.png|thumb|"That freakin' duck swallowed both my pixels!"]]
He has boxing gloves for hands (which always have square window reflections on them, no matter where he is), round green eyes and a red with black markings [[Wikipedia:Lucha libre|lucha libre]] mask for a head (as confirmed in [[some kinda robot]]). Although he claims that his mask is his face, he once removed it in the [[the chair]]. This act caused him a lot of pain but no lasting visible damage. His mouth is rectangular, though it often becomes round when he says words with the letter "o". Most of the time, Strong Bad's mouth is in a slight frown, but there are occasions where he [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]]. He also wears black pants (with [[underwear]] underneath) and red boots. He usually doesn't wear a [[Strong Bad Wearing A Shirt|shirt]]; according to him, it's better to [[suntan|show off his abs]]. The blue diamond on his face also gives him the power to open [[Cold One]]s mentally and even pop Homestar's hat off his head; however, this seems to have been abandoned, as it was only demonstrated in [[super powers]].

Strong Bad rules the land of [[Strong Badia]], a barren field behind the [[Wikipedia:Dumpster (term)|dumpsters]] that is completely devoid of any sentient life. His favorite saying is (or was for a time) "[[Crap|holy crap]]", though he hates when people use the word crap when [[Crapfully Yours|signing emails]]. He frequently mangles words, as seen in [[army]]. ("We're a one man army. Er, a three man one-y. [[Three-to-One Marny|Three-to-one-marny]]?") It has also been [[road trip|implied]] that he wets the bed, a fact that he attempts to [[Blatant Lies|cover up]] with little success. However, he seems to sleep instead on the couch in his [[Basement of the Brothers Strong|basement]], frequently mumbling video game titles as he wakes surrounded by bags of [[Potate]]. Strong Bad also seems to collect [[eggs]], as seen in [[morning routine]], and he keeps them in [[The Couch]].

Strong Bad talks a big line, claiming to be a [[List of crimes committed by Strong Bad|criminal mastermind]], a [[Exaggerated Strong Bad|muscle man]], and totally popular with the [[Strong Bad's Ladies|ladies]], though there is little evidence of any of these claims, and no shortage of evidence that they are all untrue. Strong Bad refuses to acknowledge this however, and continues unaffected with his delusions of grandeur. He is convinced that Marzipan likes, or has a crush on, him when in fact she "[[marzipan|really doesn't like him at all]]." Due to his delusional opinions about himself, much of what Strong Bad says is [[Blatant Lies|obviously untrue]]. But Strong Bad also seems to state that he is uncool as seen in [[pizzaz|the email pizzaz]].

He loves to listen to [[Limozeen]], [[Taranchula]], and [[Peter Frampton]]. He seems to dislike any band that isn't considered [[Heavy Metal|metal]], as seen towards the end of [[concert]]. His favorite show is [[Caleb Rentpayer]]. He also enjoys doing [[caper|Jumble puzzles]] and [[The Interview|baking]]. His love for [[Strong Bad's Technology|older technology]] such as cassette tapes, command prompt computers, old video games and laserdiscs, and the titles of events such as "[[monster truck|Awexome Cross '98]]", and "[[TrogdorCon '97]]" suggest that Strong Bad is "living in the past". Despite his love of the nineties, he seems to despise and destroy anything from any previous decade, like [[Wikipedia:8-track cartridge|8-Tracks]], TVs that lost their essence in the '70s, and the [[Nintendo#Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)|Nintendo Entertainment System]].

[[Image:StrongBad 3D variation.PNG|thumb|Check out all 3 of my glorious D's!]]

Strong Bad has sung many hit singles, his most popular being "[[Everybody to the Limit]]". He also stars as the protagonist in the blockbuster action series "[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]".

He works with Homestar and The Cheat at an [[The Office|unnamed tech company]], though despite this fixed income, he seems to have financial troubles, and often attempts money making solutions of questionable legitimacy and [[other days|burns his bills]] with his [[BMW Lighter]]. His financial troubles might be partly due to his high electric bill, which he claims to be $70,000 in [[environment]]. His dream job, as stated in [[from work]], is to be a 2nd 2nd assistant space whale scrubber.

Strong Bad is somewhat prejudiced; he has been [[sb_email 22|banned from the UK]], and often [[little questions|ridicules non-English speakers]] on their e-mails. In [[Homestar Ruiner]], Strong Bad says that he hates the Swedes and later makes jokes at their expense, though he did say he should get married to the sender of [[magic trick]], possibly partly because she's Swedish. He also does not get on well with [[Dislike of Old People|old people]] or [[for kids|children]], although he claims to have children of his own, including Jeffrey Beffrey Mudgeman, at [[Trailer Home|his second secret home]] where he goes by the name [[Secret Identities#Vance Mudgeman|Vance Mudgeman]]. He doesn't appear to care much for those children either, or perhaps he does and truly believes that "you got to be firm."

As evidenced in [[stand-up]], Strong Bad once did [[Wikipedia:standup comedy|stand-up comedy]] as a kid. He apparently wasn't very good, as he tried to make up jokes instead of using natural comedy or rehearsed jokes. However, he doesn't like talking about his act, because his pants fell down in front of the audience, and he ran away embarrassed.

Strong Bad also made his own band in [[Baddest Of The Bands]] which was known as [[Bands in Baddest Of The Bands|DÖI]]. In it, Strong Bad does the vocals, [[The King Of Town]] plays guitar, and [[Homsar]] is on the theremin. Strong Bad didn't really pick who was in this band, as after he signed everyone else up, these two were the only characters left to be in the band.

'''STRONG BAD''': Hold on, I'm not done with the props yet! ''{turns to camera}'' Greetings, party people in the place to be! I am called Strong Bad! Hand over all your moneys in a paper and/or plastic bag! Ladies, form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high fives! Like I said, I'm Strong Bad. I've been described as cool, awesome, hot, video games, the hottest, and real real hot. Me and my big brother and our The Cheat pretty much run the show around here, as well as serve as a sort of multi-purpose criminal element. Yeah, we got a lot of—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Ahe-he-hem.

'''STRONG BAD''': What are you doing here?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Well, I was gonna get a high five, but, I see that I'm already here. And with a snake on my head!

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, that's right. So I'm gonna have to charge you double. You know, since you're both here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': That sounds reasonable! ''{pronounces it re-ZON-able}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Okay, I only accept gold nuggets. Or maybe Denver Nuggets. ...Whatever you got on ya. Chicken nuggets.

===Fun Facts===
*"Party peoples in the place to be!" is a reference to an [[Wikipedia:Ultramagnetic MC|Ultramagnetic MC]] song called "Ego Trippin'", during which before the song, the announcer says, "Party peoples in the place to be! Just for you, it's the Ultramagnetic MCs!"
*The [[Wikipedia:Denver Nuggets|Denver Nuggets]] are a professional [[Wikipedia:National Basketball Association|NBA]] basketball team.

== Strength ==
[[Image:StrongBadPushups.png|thumb|Strong Bad by name, but not by nature.]]
There is highly conflicting evidence regarding Strong Bad's strength. For the most part, it is implied that Strong Bad is actually very weak and out of shape and that "Strong Bad" is merely his name and not an accurate description: In the email [[lady fan]], he is unable to do even a single push-up, and states that he used to be able to do only four. In addition, the paper on Strong Bad's desk in the [[Homestar Quiz]] reads "Strong Bad isn't so strong after all. If he tried hard, which of the following could he lift?", and lists the choices as "an ounce", "a week", "a weak", and "pepper". Strong Sad has stated on [[Strong Sad's Lament|his blog]] that Strong Bad's punches do not hurt, compared against Strong Mad's that do. In [[Homestar Ruiner]], Strong Bad is completely incapable of matching Pom Pom's time in the Race to the End of the Race, and can only beat Coach Z's time by ''heavily'' cheating. On the other hand, in the email [[car]], Strong Bad demonstrates the ability to punch Homestar hard enough to hit and crack the wall, and in the email [[secret identity]], he literally tosses both Homestar and the King of Town out of his house. He can also easily pick up and carry the supposedly 42-pound [[Lappy 486]], and is quite adept at [[kicking The Cheat]] (hinted in [[Where's The Cheat?]] to weigh about 18 pounds). In the email [[lady...ing]], Strong Bad picks up and throws an anvil. It is possible that, like Homestar's "[[Lack of Visible Arms|arms]]", Strong Bad's true strength may be purposely ambiguous.

== Fun Facts ==
[[Image:Strong Bad Eyes Closed.PNG|thumb|"Well, time to start evolving into mole people. Now shut your eyes really tight and try and heighten your other senses."]]
*Strong Bad and Strong Mad, and their original role as tag team wrestlers, came from the [[Nintendo]] video game [[Wikipedia:Tag Team Wrestling|Tag Team Wrestling]] created by Data East U.S.A. in 1986. In this game, one of the teams is called "The Strong Bads."
*Apparently, Strong Bad is able to survive, stand up, and even talk, with a hole blasted in his head, as shown in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] and the email [[lady...ing]].
*As evidenced in the e-mail [[your funeral]], it appears that his eyes will turn black after he dies.
*He has never completely closed his mouth, and he supposedly has a green tongue.
*Strong Bad was originally conceived as a masked wrestler because in their childhood, The Brothers Chaps viewed masked wrestlers as the embodiment of evil, making them an ideal choice for an antagonist.
*As seen by [[Lil' Strong Bad]] and in [[highschool]], his head seems to become more oval-shaped as he grows older.
*When he is sleeping, he [[Couch Mumbling|mumbles]] names of famous SNES games, such as Super Contra or Chrono Trigger.
*Strong Bad's head moves around a lot more when he speaks facing away from the camera than when he speaks facing towards it. This is true even when he [[Main Page 23|thinks he is facing the camera]].
*As of 24 December 2008, Strong Bad has the highest complete filmography of all the characters on the website, appearing in 410 toons.
**Of all the characters' lines on the website, he also has the most lines and the largest collection of [[Quote of the Week|quotes]] for a character.
*Strong Bad hopes to become a 2nd 2nd Assistant Space-Whale scrubber.
*Strong Bad has a [["Er" pronounced as "oi"|habit]] of pronouncing certain words with an "uhr" sound the way a stereotypical New Yorker would pronounce them (e.g. he says "soivice" instead of "service" in [[lackey]]).
*As evidenced in [[from work]], [[4 branches]], and [[business trip]], Strong Bad is currently employed.
*At his fastest, Strong Bad types approximately 240 [[Wikipedia:Typing#Words per Minute|words per minute]] (in a segment in [[death metal]]).

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Six}}

==Transcript==

''{The email begins with a red curtain with "sbemail 200" on it. Then, the curtain opens to show the Lappy with a pixelated bugle on it. Trumpets begin to play. Pan out to the Computer Room with roses on its floor. The Cheat appears and plays a trill on a flute.}''

'''SINGER:''' Two hundred sbemails, exhausting just to think about.

''{During the song, "200" appears in the fonts of the Tandy, Compy, and Lappy sequentially, followed by "strongbad_email.exe" typed out. Strong Bad enters the computer room on the red carpet while roses are thrown. Marzipan and Coach Z are seen watching him enter}''

'''SINGER:''' How can we face two hundred sbemails?

''{Strong Bad continues to approach the computer, showing that the King of Town and Bubs are also in the room. We then cut to the singer, who is revealed to be the Poopsmith, wearing a bowtie and holding a microphone, as he finishes his song.}''

'''THE POOPSMITH:''' The thought of all those sbemails makes me weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeak!

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing on his stool. Strong Sad can be seen among the audience.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{finishing the song}'' ''Puke!'' ''{echoing}'' Please be seated. ''{The audience sits down.}'' ''{normally}'' How about that Poopsmith, huh? Breaking his vow of silence to perform my two hundredth sbemail intro song! ''{Close shot of Strong Bad}'' I'm almost ''{pantomimes wiping his nose}'' sniff ''{voice wavers}'' not totally disgusted!

''{Cut to the Poopsmith, surrounded by flies. He gives Strong Bad the thumbs up, and whatsit drips from his glove. Cut to Strong Bad sitting down at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I take that back. ''{types out "strongbad_email.exe"}'' Okay, here we go!

''{pulls up the email, but doesn't read it}''

<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: college girls?</div>
Dear Homestar, 
Me and all of my young college friends that live in my dorm were just wondering if you wanted to come over and have a pillow fight sometime because we think you are sooooooo very cool. 
All the college dorm girls at MO 
Hannah, Micah, Rachel, Sally, Peggy, Vicky, Amber, 
and all the rest of use
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Duh-duh-duh-Dear ''HOMESTAR''!? ''{extreme close-up on Homestar's name}'' W.T.C.? ''{Camera zooms out}'' New Paper, print me out a hard copy. ''{It does and he grabs it.}'' I'll teach Homestar to steal my 200th email thunder. ''{Thunder booms}'' B'oyah! ''{Strong Bad gets up and leaves}''

''{Cut to Homestar at a table, typing on his [[Happy 8600]]}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{typing}'' —a protected landmark with surprisingly clean restrooms!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Homejob! Some stupid girls that are probably really guys accidentally emailed me—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ugh. Strong Bad, how do you keep gettin' in here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? What are you talking about? I just—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm in the middle of checking my email.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whaddaya mean, ''your'' email? I'm in the middle of checking ''my'' email!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're not the only one around here ''{Close shot of Homestar}'' that answers emails from fans with humorous results.

''{Cut back to show the two characters}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Since the crap when?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. Since forever. ''{Close shot of Homestar}'' Don't you remember? You're in a bunch of 'em. Like that old classic when they asked ''{Camera zooms out}'' about burglars ''{thumping his feet}'' breaking into my house.

''{Cut to Homestar in his darkened living room, in a Homestar Runner shirt, white robe and sleeping cap}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If I act all sleepy and throw a bunch of ''{holds up a cinnamon dispenser}'' cinnamon on my face, it's usually enough to throw 'em off. ''{opens the lid and throws cinnamon on his face}'' Poo, poo. Poo, poo.

''{The light turns on as he walks into living room to find Strong Bad and The Cheat having broken the cow lamp, from the email [[caper]]}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{yawns}'' Hey Strong Sad. Batman. What are you guys doing in my house?

''{Screen dims}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''Whaaaaaat?''

''{Cut to the scene from [[long pants]], where Homestar is wearing Daisy Dukes in front of Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And who can forget when I accidentally took some of Strong Sad's pills?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapped by Homestar}'' Okay, calm down, I didn't mean to—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long pants, Strong Bad! The longest pants! Everybody everybody! Longest pants!

''{Homestar teleports around the room to a different place after each word he says. He first appears in front of Strong Bad, then leaning in behind him, then hanging upside down from the ceiling, then pixellated on the Lappy's screen as Atari Homestar, then blurred in the scene's foreground, then upside down under the desk, then back to his original position, looking exhausted and out of breath, all while chanting the following.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long long long long long long pants!

''{Screen dims}''

''{Cut to a dimmed shot of the basement. Strong Bad is sitting on the couch. Coach Z is standing to the left wearing a fondue pot on his head and a Tigger tail.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' And that one where I dressed up real good like Coach Z. ''{Screen brightens up}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, Strong Bad, I think I ruined your fondue part!

'''STRONG BAD:''' My fondue part?

''{Cut back to Homestar's computer room. Strong Bad is standing on the table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{now frustrated}'' Hang! On! Shut! Face! Those were ''my'' emails and you squeazeled your way into them.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm glad you believe that, Strong Bad. Anyways, Let me see that email. ''{takes the email from Strong Bad and looks at it}'' ''{Zoom in on Homestar.}'' Oh, come on! ''Another'' pillow fight? Haven't they seen hremail #49?

''{Cut back to show the two characters. Strong Bad is sitting on the edge of the table}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hr-what mail?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hremail. You've got sbemails, I've got hremails.

''{As he says "sbemails" and "hremails", they appear over his head as text, as if someone typed them}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do you even have an email address?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Of course I do. Everybody knows it's ''{close shot of the Happy 8600 as Homestar types his email address}'' DJmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com.

''{Cut back to to show the two characters. Strong Bad is leaning off the table and standing on his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There's a good chance my brain is about to explode right now.

''{Zoom in on Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aww, come on, old timer. It's not so bad. You want to help me check this email?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{gets in Homestar's face and pokes him as he speaks}'' I'm not gonna help you check your email! I'm gonna help myself ''ruin'' your email! ''{Camera zooms out}'' Whooyaa!

''{Strong Bad exits to the left, and then reappears holding three ice cream sandwiches.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And help myself to your ice cream sammies. Whooyaa.

''{Strong Bad runs off, leaving behind one of the sandwiches, which spins in midair.}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad's computer room. The subject/to line and screen are inexplicably blank. The Lappy's cursor is on the subject/to line. Strong Bad sits down at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll teach Homestar to retroactively steal my email thunder! ''{thunder booms}''

''{Strong Bad types out the following email.}''

<blockquote class="email">
<div>to: DJmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com</div>
Dear Homestar, 
I'm a big fan of your hremails and was wandering, can 
you give us a tour of your not-in-front-of-your-computer? 
Sewiously yours, 
Abdi
</blockquote>

''{As he types, he pronounces "wandering" with a short "A" sound as in "ham", and "sewiously" exactly as typed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' ''Send!''

''{The Lappy's screen clears and the camera whips to the opposite side of the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mumbling}'' Let's see now, a few seconds for the DNS to resolve, server, SMTP, now he's reading it, and... ''ding''! He's taken the bait! ''{leaps away}'' Hooyah!

''{Cut to The Field. Homestar walks in to the left, carrying a clipboard, approaching a wooden sign that reads "Historic Not-In-Front-Of-My-Computer" and has a computer screen with an X on top of it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, and if you look to your left, you'll see Historic Not-In-Front-Of-My-Computer: a protected landmark with surprisingly clean restrooms.

''{In the background, Strong Bad is seen running to the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Tee hee hee!

''{Cut to the Happy 8600. Strong Bad runs in from the left as rock music begins to play.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh hello, idiot-proof computer! You look a little thirsty. Time for some long overdue allegedly citrus-flavored payback!

''{Strong Bad produces a giant bottle of Mountain Dew. Zoom in on Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rubs chin}'' How does that old adage go? Ah, yes. ''{mimicking Homestar}'' "Apply libewally!" ''{Camera zooms out}'' Hooyah!

''{Strong Bad pours the Mountain Dew on the Happy 8600. Within seconds, it begins to spark and smoke.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! ''{smiles}'' Ha ha!

''{New Paper comes down, but instead of showing Strong Bad's email address, it says "Click here to email Homestar Runner", with Homestar's email address. The two images of the "@" key and Strong Bad's head in an envelope are also missing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks up}'' Hey! Whose side are you on, anyway?

''{New Paper is pulled back off-screen. Some blows are exchanged, and The Paper comes down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{smiles again}'' The Paper! You came back!!

''{A spark catches The Paper, and it burns to a crisp.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oops.

''{The screen clears to black, and the words "Strong Bad Emails" appear. The names of the first two hundred Strong Bad Emails scroll up from the bottom in the background.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The term "Stealing One's Thunder" (from which the title is derived) is used in situations wherein one person is associated with hoopla stemming from the efforts of another person. In this case, sbemail #200 was intended to be for Strong Bad, but the email itself was addressed to Homestar Runner, who would therefore be recognized as the recipient of the 200th email.
*When Strong Bad sends his email, he mentions several technical terms:
**[[Wikipedia:Domain Name Server#DNS_resolvers|DNS Resolving]] is a process done by a DNS (Domain Name System) server in which it identifies the IP address of a [[Wikipedia:Domain name|domain name]].
**[[Wikipedia:Simple Mail Transfer Protocol|SMTP]], or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, is a standard for servers sending email.
*[[Wikipedia:Universal Serial Bus|USB]] and [[Wikipedia:IEEE 1394 interface|FireWire]] are modern types of serial connections. Older serial connectors were defined by the number of connectors or "pins" they have. Therefore, a 4-pin or an 8-pin would have 4 or 8 pins, respectively, though no such standard connections existed. Serial ports were traditionally 9-pin and 25-pin.

===Trivia===
*Opening [[HR:hremail49.html|hremail49.html]] will play an excerpt from that email.
**Opening [[HR:hremail24.html|hremail24.html]] will play what is left of an event referenced in the previous [[hremail]].
*The label on the [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#duck pond|duck pond]]".
*[[John Linnell]] provides the voice of the Poopsmith, marking the only main character who is not voiced by [[the Brothers Chaps]] or [[Missy]].
*This is the only time we unambiguously hear the Poopsmith talk. 
*The Cheat is playing a [[Left Handedness|left-handed]] flute at the beginning.
*When this toon was first released, the thunder sound effects and the flashing were not there when Strong Bad said "email thunder". These were added later.
*This email took the shortest amount of time for any Strong Bad Email to come to DVD, as [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Six]] came only two months later.
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad finds out Homestar has his own email show and is trying to steal his email thunder."

===Remarks===
*After the close-up on the Lappy, the cursor disappears.
*In the flashbacks to [[caper]] and [[long pants]], Strong Bad's design is the newest one, rather than [[Strong Bad Evolution|the one he had at that time, which was the sixth]].
*When The Paper comes down, it is clickable and will let you email Strong Bad until he accidentally burns it up.
*Strong Bad pulls the giant bottle of Mountain Dew from [[Hammerspace]].
*Strong Bad has no idea Homestar has an Email address, yet he knew exactly what it was in [[credit card]].
*Strong Bad is surprised at the email, but in [[the process]] he says he picks the email beforehand.
*The Strong Sad Easter egg simply said "sbemail200" on the corner of the screen without the ".html" at the end, as opposed to "sbemail179''.html''" in [[pizza joint]]. This may be because this email's URL is not "sbemail200.html" but "sbemailtwohundred.html".
*Rolling over "[[kind of cool]]" to show [[Senor Cardgage]] doesn't work on the word "cool", which is located at the beginning of the next line.
*Strong Bad never actually answers an email in this cartoon.
*During the closeup of "Dear Homestar", the following text is visible on the Lappy with a decompiler:
<blockquote>Oh...Steven! I think this may finally be it you guys! After 
200 emails I'm finally gonna get 
to make out with D-D-D </blockquote>
:This is most likely a scrapped response for the initial email, and was later featured in [[Quote of the Week#QW-2008-10-16|the Quote of the Week]].

===Goofs===
*When Homestar puts cinnamon on his face, his eyes are the wrong size. They're quite noticeably squished and placed too high on his face.
[[Image:EmailThunderOffSync.png|thumb|100px|Blurry blurry blurry blurry blurry blurry pants!]]
*In the clip from [[long pants]], when Homestar is blurred in the foreground, the table and carpet within the image of blurred Homestar are not in their proper places.
**Additionally, the first line of words on the screen are not there.
*On the end screen, there is no space between [[cheatday]] and [[pom pom]].
*The back button sends you to the [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons page]] rather than the Sbemail page.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Originally on the end screen, highlighting [[ghosts]] would bring up a picture of [[Sterrance]], who never appeared in that email. This has since been corrected; the [[Bad Graphics Ghost]] now appears when that email is highlighted.
*Also originally on the end screen, sibbie was spelled "sibby".

===Glitches===
*If the Limozeen Easter egg is activated, followed by another Easter egg, Limozeen will continue to play over the other one.

===Inside References===
*Coach Z returning [[Strong Bad's fondue pot]] is a reference to [[50 emails]].
*Strong Bad signs his message to Homestar "Abdi", based on [[Abdi LaRue]], the sender of the very first email, [[some kinda robot]].
*This is another email featuring [[Mountain Dew]].
**Strong Bad pours Mountain Dew on the Happy like Homestar did to the Compy in [[anything]]. He also quotes Homestar's "apply liberally", imitating Homestar's impediment. He then [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]] twice while he pours it; once when sparks start to appear, and once when The Paper comes down.
*The Easter egg with Limozeen is lifted directly from [[flashback]].
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad refers to [[Strong Sad's Lament]], which, true to Strong Sad's words, hasn't been updated since September 9, 2005.
*In this email, The Cheat plays the [[Instruments|flute]].
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad uses the same theme as in the Strong Sad Easter egg in [[pizza joint]].
*Homestar's laptop [[Happy 8600]] is manufactured by [[Tandy]].
*Strong Bad apparently [[Interrupted Conversations|interrupts]] a Homestar Runner Email when he enters the room.
*The fonts used to write "200" in the intro are the fonts from each of [[Computers#Computers|Strong Bad's computers]].
*Homestar once again uses [[cinnamon]] for stubble.
*Homestar's disdain for the "repeat" pillow-fight topic seems to reflect the "topics the Brothers' Chap aren't likely to answer," most notably requests to "[[draw Trogdor again]]."
*Strong Bad's signs his email to Homestar with the catchphrase "[[Seriously|Sewiously]]", in the same vein as emails he received signed "[[Crapfully yours]]".
*"Squeazeled" and "cavalanche" are [[portmanteaus]].
*The Paper returns to beat up New Paper, making it the first appearance of the original on the site since the email [[the paper]].
*Strong Bad's exclamation, "WTC?" appears to be an initialism for "[[Crap|What the Crap?]]".
*There are three instances of [[Not X]] in this email: Strong Bad is "almost not totally disgusted" by The Poopsmith's singing; he asks Homestar for "a tour of your not-in-front-of-your-computer"; and in an Easter egg, Strong Sad tells viewers to "be sure and not check out my blog."
*Homestar's list of hremails is similar to the one in [[personal favorites]], in that they both have narration that says ''"like the one when... wrote in..."'' and ''"and the one where..."'', as well as the first two emails being real and the rest being fake.
*Homestar claims to have taken some of [[Strong Sad's Pills|Strong Sad's pills]] when remembering the email [[long pants]].

===Real-World References===
*The Poopsmith Easter egg refers to the song "My Michelle" by [[Guns N' Roses]].
*Homestar's laptop is modeled after an [[Wikipedia:OLPC XO-1|XO-1]], an inexpensive model distributed as part of the [[Wikipedia:One Laptop Per Child|One Laptop Per Child]] project. The laptop was made available to North American consumers during the 2007 holiday season in a "Give 1 Get 1" offer. Interestingly, the XO-1 keyboard is designed to resist liquids.
* The menu page description for this toon says, "Homestar will flip you. He will flip you for real." This is a reference to a memorable line spoken by [[Wikipedia: Benicio Del Toro|Benicio Del Toro's]] character in [[Wikipedia: The Usual Suspects|The Usual Suspects]].

==DVD Version==
*The roll-over egg and downloading of the song (for obvious reasons) is disabled.
*The HREmail 49 and 24 Easter eggs are directly accessible from the end of the toon.

'''MIKE:''' So, we still really haven't decided if there'll be more sbemails or not.

'''MATT:''' Oh, I've decided.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, there won't be.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' There won't be?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that's— we're done.

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that e— that slow-motion walk clip, that was the culmination of all of eight years of efforts, or six years in Strong Bad Email case.

'''MIKE:''' In Strong Bad Email case?

'''MATT:''' Yeah. ''{pause}'' So we totally collaborated with John Linnell in this song, and for weeks ahead we sent him notes and he would send... rough drafts of the song back to us, and he totally didn't just make this song and send it to us and there was maybe one email exchange between the two of us.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Oh really?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that was our creative process.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, okay.

'''MATT:''' It was not that. No, we told him, hey, do you— we had originally asked him to do something for 199, since he had done a song for email 99, but then email 199, we kinda just came and went, did a normal email, and then, uhh, he just made this.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' He made this song.

'''MATT:''' He was like, hey, I made a little thing, a little intro for a— the sbemail 200.

'''MIKE:''' And then we listened to it about ten times in a row and then we thought, I dunno, it just came to us that maybe The Poopsmith should be singing it.

'''MATT:''' Yep. ''{pause}'' It's a bombshell, man.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, man.

'''MATT:''' TBC dropped a bombshell at the beginning of this email.

'''MIKE:''' That email thunder, the little lightning and thunder flashiness was added, like, a couple hours after it was up.

'''MATT:''' Oh yeah, that's right.

'''MIKE:''' I fixed a couple goofs, and then I added that, just cause I had the idea to add it.

'''MATT:''' Nice, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' I'm surprised we didn't add, we had always talked about putting something on Homestar's wall.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' It looks a little bare.

'''MATT:''' A picture of s— of, uhh, Señor Havin' A Little Trouble, maybe, or Mr. Bland. ''{pause}'' he— Homestar has, uhh, Ryan Sterritt's kitchen table.

'''MIKE:''' And Ikea's kitchen table.

'''MATT:''' And a nice molded-plastic chair. ''{pause}'' Oh, tappa-tappa-tappa.

'''MIKE:''' So we had talked about doing this for a long time, having a cartoon where you start on Homestar, and Homestar's doing a bunch of stuff, and falls asleep, and then it turns out that this was sort of the p— Homestar's version of the Strong Bad Email, where he would then come into a Strong Bad Email like this.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Did I explain that well?

'''MATT:''' Not well at all.

'''MIKE:''' We talked about making a cartoon where it's Homestar and then at the end of the cartoon or somewhere within the cartoon you see one of there little scenes where Homestar popped into a Strong Bad Email, and it was actually part of a larger story focusing on Homestar the Runner. That was eloquence. ''{unintelligible}''

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that was a little better. Now that spent half the commentary talking about that.

'''MIKE:''' We got nothing else to talk about

'''MATT:''' I like— I think Coach Z with that fondue pot on his head should be some kind of— ''and the tail'' should be some kind of Johnny Appleseed

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

'''MATT:''' We should make up like a, Saddy Dumpington— it should be the Saddy Dumpington version of Coach Z.

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

'''MATT:''' He's got a tiger tail.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Monday's update, I call that.

'''MIKE:''' Alright.

'''MATT:''' Get started, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' What was the, uh—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' I've got diarrhea, I won't be able to do work on that one.

'''MIKE:''' What did you record the, uh, sound of Homestar's computer, uh, keyboard tapping sound?

'''MATT:''' Uh, it was on my— my old, uh, laptop at home.

'''MIKE:''' Oh.

'''MATT:''' Nothing— nothing interesting.

'''MIKE:''' ''{pause}'' Umm...

'''MATT:''' Whooyaa!

'''MIKE:''' He says some nice whooyaas several times.

'''MATT:''' Several, three or four whooyaas. ''{pause}'' Umm, so this is the first time we've ever seen Strong Bad re— like, send a, uh, actually send an email, right?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, the cursor blinking up in the subject bar.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that was you, man.

'''MIKE:''' Mm-hn.

'''MATT:''' ''{pause}'' Umm, how does Homestar type with no gloves of any kind on? Right? Hands? Whoo!

'''MIKE:''' Uh, what do you call that?

'''MATT:''' A blurry swoosh.

'''MIKE:''' A swoosh?

'''MATT:''' That's a whip pan.

'''MIKE:''' A whip pan, that's what I was looking for.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' A 180-degree whip stick.

'''MIKE:''' Did you see the stool, the stool was kinda slowly gliding back.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Maybe it had been greased recently.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' That, uh, is that the same sign from, uh, the hygiene email? Gene's Mouth National—

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Yeah, the one— Gene's Mouth National—

'''MIKE:''' Park.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{pause}'' Do do do do do do do do guh guh guh guh guh guh! ''{pause}'' Umm... ''{pause}'' Throw— there's a lot of callbacks in this email.

'''MIKE:''' Mountain Dew, pouring Mountain Dew.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, there's really no original content in it at all.

'''MIKE:''' It's a clip show, it may as well just of been a clip show.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, you did a poor job on this 200th email.

'''MIKE:''' But, uh, I—

'''MATT:''' It's too bad this is the last email we're ever making.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' For sure, I decided right now, for certain, never again.

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Sorry.

'''MIKE:''' I bet by the time this DVD's out we will have made one already.

'''MATT:''' No.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Alright.

'''MATT:''' I'm holdin' out.

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

'''MATT:''' I have a sore throat and dia— diarrhea.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' I'm sure everyone needed to know that.

'''MATT:''' That one's my favorite.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that one's my favorite.

'''MATT:''' Oh, I like that one, too.

'''MIKE:''' That one sucks.

'''MATT:''' Oh, I— oh, that one. Yeah, that one's bad.

Limozeen Thanksgiving E-Cards

[[Image:limozeenecard.jpg|thumb|220px|"...and drugs, stay out of school!"]]
'''Limozeen Thanksgiving E-Cards''' were made available for Thanksgiving 2003. Three messages from the guys from [[Limozeen]] are provided. The recipient of e-card would be sent an email with the URL of the card that was prepared for them.

It is in these cards where it is revealed that all the members of Limozeen share the last name "Palaroncini," confirming that the [[Gary Palaroncini]] first mentioned in the email "[[privileges]]" is indeed the same Gary from the band. It is unknown if they are all actually related, or if they have adopted a group stage name, like [[Wikipedia:The Ramones| The Ramones]].

== Transcript ==

'''LARRY:''' ''{singing}'' I've got the heart of a turkey, and the wings of cranberry sauce, because it's Thanksgiving!

== Fun Facts ==
*In the photos, Larry is played by [[Matt Chapman]], but Gary is apparently played by a woman, most likely [[Missy Palmer]]. (It is clear in Card #2, however, that a male is sometimes playing Gary.) It's likely that [[Ryan Sterritt]] is portraying Mary and it has been suggested that [[Don Chapman]] plays Perry.
*On the loading screen, the font that Loading is in is [[Wikipedia:Iron Maiden| Iron Maiden]]'s [[font]].
*Their autographs are different than those in [[monster truck]] (Compare with [[:Image:Limozeentruck.PNG|this]] image.)
*If you try to send an e-card, a message comes up reading "Sorry man. We lost our web programmer in a tragic hotel accident, and, like, your thing didn't work."

==DVD Version==
*All the cards play in order, with the song played once at the end.
*The written words in the first and second cards that appear one at a time have been disabled.

SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar

2009-01-07T01:34:50Z

Pompomerania:

[[Image:Other SBLOUNSKCHED bar.png|thumb|200px|"You got... SBLOUNSKCHED!"]]
The '''SBLOUNSKCHED! bar''' is [[Strong Bad]]'s very own brand of candy bar, which he of course needs because he is "famous, popular, and a chick-magnet". It is produced by [[Cheap as Free|Cheap as Free Foodstuffs]]. The [[Onomatopoeia|name of the bar]] is a marketing triumph, and is composed of "50% Strong Bad, 50% tooth rot, and 50% ta-dah!!!" The candy [[concoction]] is shaped like Strong Bad's pants, with a bite taken out for security purposes. The missing bite is not reflected in the packaging. According to the end of the commercial, one free root canal or cavity search is offered upon the purchase of one bar. Its logo has the "SB" part bigger and red, as a reference to Strong Bad.

==Creation of a SBLOUNSKCHED! bar==
[[Image:Sblounskched_process.PNG|right|275px|The making of a SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar.]]
#A '''name''' that's 50% Strong Bad, 50% tooth rot, and 50% ta-dah!, as well as a '''wrapper concept''' thought up by Strong Bad.
#Starting candy-making process with a '''gaseous cloud of marshmallow vapor'''.
#Encase cloud of marshmallow vapor in a '''globule of semi-solid licorice colloid'''.
#Float several of these in a '''channel of liquid nougat''' (the candy equivalent of veal).
#Roll all that up inside a '''solid crispety cookety log'''.
#Cover it with '''rich, creamy... pepperoni'''.
#Sprinkle that with, not just crispy puffed rice, but '''whole tiny bowls of crispy puffed rice [[cereal]]'''.
#Smother that with the ol' BBC: '''Boring Brown [[Chocolate]]'''.
#Emboss the '''SBLOUNSKCHED! logo''' into the candy bar.
#After trying to think of a better shape than the standard piece-of-crap shape, decide upon and use a '''pair of half-eaten choco-pants''', with a bite taken out for security. At this stage the SBLOUNSKCHED! logo will mysteriously disappear.

=== Separate Ingredients ===
*Gaseous cloud of marshmallow vapor

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
[[Image:Homestar-driving.png|thumb|Homestar, drive, drive!]]
*One of the pennants in the background of the bar says "[[LEMKE]]" on it.
*Slowing down the voices by around 20% reveals that it really is [[The Brothers Chaps]] singing, apparently with mock-Japanese accents.
*The song is a remake of the one from [[Super NES]].
*A direct front view of Homestar's face is seen when he's driving the [[soap box]] car. The only other times this occurs are in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] and [[Old Intro 2]].
*This would seem to be the first appearance of a [[Big Knives|Big Knife]], although the said weapon is not referred to by name until [[i love you]].
*[[Homsar]] is not in the original Theme Song Video because he had not become a character yet. (However, he is in the DVD version.)
*The Chinese behind [[Pom Pom]] (说明文件) says "Explanation files," or less literally, "Help files."
*In the Flash file, out of frame, there is a red mark when it says "Homestar Runner, we love you!" It disappears at the end of the swimming pool scene.

===Remarks===
*Strong Sad's head is seen at the center of the spinning wheel on the close up, but is seen on the edge after the pan-out.
*When Homestar and Strong Bad race their slot cars, the track has no slots.
*When Homestar jumps off the diving board, he doesn't move forward in the air, and yet doesn't hit the board on his way down.

=== Goofs ===
*In the toy car driving scene, when Homestar moves his head, it goes over his shirt.
*In the close-up of Homestar running on the Earth, the moon in front of the Earth disappears prematurely.

=== Glitches ===
*If you hit "Play Again", or "Rewind" from the contextual menu before the song stops playing, another instance of the song will start playing over the ending of the first one.
*If you right-click and hit "Pause", the song will keep playing.

===Inside References===
*"Dokle 2" from the Arcade is used as an answer in the [[Homestar Quiz]].
*Bubs's [[dancing]] at the arcade clearly refers to the [[Dancin' Bubs]] game.

===Fast Forward===
*When the bugle sounds to summon Homestar in [[The King of Town DVD]], it plays this tune.
*Homestar sings to the tune of his own theme song in [[Bug In Mouth Disease]].
**An Easter egg of the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[isp]] has this song with Homestar Runner's weight in CDs running.
*The scene with Homestar and Pom Pom in the bar is almost identical to the one seen at the end of [[Summer Short Shorts]].
*The pool that Homestar Runner dives into would be used in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]], [[winter pool]], and [[keep cool]].
*The song can be heard in the background while visiting Marzistar in [[Strong Badia the Free]].

==DVD Version==
*The DVD version contains extra scenes causing the video to end at the same time as the music. A few of these scenes feature running gags that hadn't been invented when the original video was made.
*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 Homestar Runner theme song, Mike. Take it away.

'''MIKE:''' Well, Matt, this was maybe the first video that we did.

'''MATT:''' Music video?

'''MIKE:''' Music video that we did, yeah.

'''MATT:''' It was originally going to be an intro to the site; do you remember that plan?

'''MIKE:''' That would have been—

'''MATT:''' And then we—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' a little bit annoying.

'''MATT:''' Yeah! And then we realized that it was, like, a minute long! And half a meg or something.

'''MIKE:''' You may notice some new scenes in this version, Matt, that aren't on the one that's on the website.

'''MATT:''' That's right!

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Or they're not on the website right now. We were stupid before and did it a stupid way, and there were some gaps. This video was shorter than the song, and we needed more video.

'''MATT:''' Back when we made it, our computer was slow, so that the vide— the audio actually was in synch, right? Was it 'cause we had a bad computer that was slow?

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Yeah. Yeah, pretty much. Yup.

'''MATT:''' Uh, that's disgusting right there. That heaping pile of doodoo.

'''MIKE:''' What does 1+a equal?

'''MATT:''' Uh, 1+a, I think. Right?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. It's the distributive property.

'''MATT:''' Right. Oh! Get it, Homestar! Umm, "Homestar stinks". I remember we debated for a long time whether or not to make it say "sucks" or "stinks", and we went with "stinks".

'''MIKE:''' We played the safe route?

'''MATT:''' Um, [[Lemke]].

'''MIKE:''' Has— has that bowl of peanuts always been there? It's a nice bowl of peanuts.

===Fun Facts===
*The [[Wikipedia:Distributivity|distributive property]] is the algebraic principle that a number multiplying a sum of two numbers is equal to the sum of the products of the first number with each of the other two: <math>a\cdot(b+c)=a\cdot b+a\cdot c</math>. More than likely, Matt and Mike were thinking of the [[Wikipedia:Reflexive relation|reflexive property of equality]]: <math>1+a=1+a\,</math>.

==Button Effects==
*'''[[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons]]''' — As Homestar says "Toons," The Cheat walks by, holding an inflatable boom box. He makes some The Cheat noises as he passes. A riff from [[Everybody Knows It]] plays, and Homestar bounces to the beat.
*'''[[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games]]''' — Marshie appears and says "Hey juys, wanna play some james?!" Homestar trembles at his appearance, then replies, "Um... not with you, creepazoid!" Then Marshie disappears.
*'''[[Character Videos|Characters]]''' — A red curtain with images of Homestar and Doreauxgard falls. After Homestar says "Characters", Doreauxgard appears and says, "Character? You ain't got no character, whitey! I'm outta here!" and leaves. The curtain rises.
*'''[[Downloads]]''' — The scene shifts to the water cooler in the office. Homestar's outfit changes to his biz cas fri outfit. He says, "I need those downloads on my desk by five!" Strong Bad peers in, also in business casual and holding a coffee cup, and says, "Goin' on my seventh coffee run. You want anything?"
*'''[[Store]]''' — A second Homestar puppet appears and says, in a very non-Homestar-ish voice, "The store." His mouth does not move; instead talk lines appear on the screen. The original Homestar asks "Who are you?" The second replies, "Well, I am the exact same."
*'''[[Email]]''' — After Homestar says "Email", a hand holding Shark-Tooth Bubs appears. He says, "Is it like an email pie of some kind, or maybe barf bags, all that good stuff?"

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*This is the only Main Page that plays at 24 frames per second as opposed to 12 FPS.
*This is the first appearance of the brand new Homestar Runner Logo as a preloader. (Previous logos were flat-colored and shaded. This version of the logo, however, appears to have taken on a metallic sheen.)
*The only "puppet" that appeared before this main page that was not included was [[Frank Bennedetto]].
*This is the website debut of the Doreauxgard puppet, who had previously only been seen in [[Interviews and Public Appearances|public appearances]].
*[[Main Page 23]] does not link to this page.
*The "Email" button is the only one that retains the standard audio files used on the other main pages.

===Remarks===
*The new button style was previously used in [[Main Page 24]].
*The button for [[Main Page 12]] overlaps the white stripe, probably due to the lack of room for 25 buttons.
*After the opening riff for ''Everybody Knows It'' plays, a faint "every" sung by Homestar Runner can be heard.
*After the "e-mail" animation homestar is not in the same place he started and twitches back into place. It also happens before and after the "games" animation.
*This page is linked to from the [[New Stuff]] menu despite the fact it is not a toon.
*This marks the first speaking appearance of [[Shark-Tooth Bubs]] on the website. In [[theme park]], he was accessed as an Easter egg and did not speak.

===Glitches===
*Main Page 25 does not function correctly on the [[Wikipedia: Nintendo Wii|Nintendo Wii]] and [[Wikipedia:PlayStation 3|PlayStation 3]]'s web browsers. The text on the links on the left side of the screen is missing. No backgrounds show up, except for the curtain, which does not have the logo on it. Also, no lines come out of [[The Exact Same]]'s mouth when he speaks. Also, the icon for [[Main Page 24]] appears as the same one for [[Main Page 23]].
**This is due to the Wii and PS3's web browsers only supporting Flash Player 7 and lower content, while Flash 8 or higher is required

===Inside References===
*This contains an instance of [[duplicate characters]].
*The second Homestar that appears was previously seen in [[strong badathlon]].
*The page title mentions [[Hollerin' Jimmy's Hobby Kit]].
*Marshie mispronounces [[G#Mispronunciation_of_G|G]].
*The voice on Shark-Tooth Bubs is the same as that of "Bubs" in the [[Powered by The Cheat]] cartoon [[mile]].
*Shark-Tooth Bubs mentions [[pie]].
*"Barf bags" is a reference to [[puking]].

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*In filmic terms, scholars [[Wikipedia:David Bordwell|David Bordwell]] and Kristin Thompson define a [[Wikipedia:Montage (film)|montage]] sequence as "a segment of film which summarizes a topic or compresses a passage of time into brief symbolic or typical images." Also, montage sequences generally represent a longer passage of time than the also-typical "dissolve" or "fade" techniques between shots.

===Trivia===
*This is the earliest email confirmed to be sent by an HRWiki user: [[User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage]].
*In the original version of this email, the background was static while Strong Bad and the wagon were spinning around. It has since been fixed to blurred trees and The Stick.
*This email introduces an updated, more symmetrical version of the gray "horns" on Strong Bad's mask.

===Remarks===
*Homestar gets less money for a shirt than he gets for a half-eaten breakfast burrito in [[HR:auction.html|"Some Type of Online Auction"]].
*Strong Bad probably changed Steve's name to Watered Down to prevent another "[[Eh! Steve!]]" crack, like he did in [[kids' book]] and [[different town]].
*The scoreboard in the gym has the word "TIMES" written under the timer.

===Goofs===
*As The Cheat keeps getting doors slammed in his face as a salesman, the last place he visits with the blue wall and white door, the door frame ends before the bottom of the toon's frame, and the right end of the door ends before the right of the frame.
*Just after Strong Bad clicks his stopwatch, the landscape shifts slightly and the piles of pancakes change in height and location. This occurs because the jpeg image used for the screen transition didn't exactly match the previous frame.

===Glitches===
*Between The Wagon's picture and The Paper's picture, there's a split-second sound clip that sounds like the beginning of "It's" from the Champeenship montage, and the Easter egg at the end.

===Inside References===
*The scene with Strong Bad and the Wagon Fulla Pancakes sitting in the canoe is reminiscent of [[lures & jigs]], where Strong Bad and Coach Z fish in the exact same spot. This is probably prompted by the [[lures & jigs]] DVD Commentary, in which [[The Brothers Chaps]] decide to reuse the lake, and which was presumably recorded before this email came out. In this email, TBC also reused [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (place)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]], the [[Quite Fancy 'Chup|ketchup]] and fries from [[funny]], the [[The Halloween House|house]] from [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], and [[The Movie Theater]] from [[A Jorb Well Done]].
*The song Strong Bad sings when he falls in love with the wagon is reminiscent of the style of [[The Kinda Long-Haired Band]].
*The [[Taranchula]] album cover is the same one from the liner notes of [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], on which their song [[Moving Very Slowly]] appears. The name "Taranchula" also appears in the e-mail [[band names]].
*The first and last house that The Cheat and the Wagon Fulla Pancakes stop at are the same house. They are also the same format of the house that you give treats from in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].
*Besides the [[The Cheat's Smoking Challenge|smoking game]] and [[big white face]], this is the first actual cartoon in which we see [[Smoking#The Cheat's Smoking|The Cheat smoking]]. Strong Bad originally acknowledged The Cheat's nicotine habit in [[Where's The Cheat?]]
*The sparkling water seen while Strong Bad is running on the horizon seems to be the same from [[Main Page 3]].
*The lyric "Lifting weights and feeling all right", from the song played during the training montage, may be a reference to [[dangeresque 3]]'s "Riding in a Corvette and feeling all right" lyric.
*"The #1" T-Shirt is loosely referenced by Strong Sad in the commentary of [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD|In Search Of The Yello Dello]].
**Though the shirt Strong Sad refers to says "''I'm'' #1" according to him, as opposed to "''The'' #1."
*Strong Bad has a problem identifying things that rhyme with "agon" in song. In this email, he mistakes a wagon for a girl, and in [[dragon]] he mistakes a dragon for a man, or maybe a dragon man. He catches the mistake both times.
*The buzzer used for the scoreboard is the same as the [[DELETED]] buzzer.
*The score of -1 is the first instance of an [[Scoreboard#Irregular Scores|irregular score]].

===Real-World References===
*The song Homestar is singing in the Easter egg ("You're the Best") comes from the 1984 classic ''[[Wikipedia:The Karate Kid|The Karate Kid]]''. Homestar's headband, bearing the design of an old Japanese flag, is also a reference to this film, and has appeared before in both [[pom pom]] and [[Theme Song Video]].
**There is actually a song called "Training Montage" from Rocky IV by Vince DiCola.
**The scene during which "You're the Best" plays in ''The Karate Kid'' is another well-known martial arts training montage.
*Much of the wagon's training sequence (especially the wagon "running" up the stairs) is a parody of the training sequence from the immortal boxing epic, ''[[Wikipedia:Rocky (series)|Rocky]]'', including the "[[Wikipedia:Rocky Steps|Rocky steps]]".
*The Strong Bad Easter egg is a take on the popular [[Nintendo|NES]] game ''[[Wikipedia:Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!|Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!]]'', in which players saw a similar sequence in between bouts of various boxing circuits (the jumps from Minor to Major, and from Major to World).
**The ''Punch-Out!!'' sequence itself was a clear reference to the training sequence in ''[[Wikipedia:Rocky (series)|Rocky]]''.
*There actually is a system call in the [[Wikipedia:Unix|Unix]] operating system called <tt>creat</tt>. It creat(e)s a new file.
*The "some guy from a zoo" line by Strong Bad during the "Late-Night Talk Show"-style intro is most likely a reference to how such shows often resort to the gimmick of having zoo workers appear on the show, accompanied by their animal partners, whose mischievous antics can often get a cheap laugh from the audience.
*The line about Strong Bad's show being canceled before the commercial break may be a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Turn-On|Turn-On]]'', which was pre-empted by many affiliates a mere 10 minutes into its pilot episode.
*The End Credits Photo Montage song is reminiscent of the ''[[Wikipedia:Queen (band)|Queen]]'' song "Headlong."
*''[[Wikipedia:Animal Planet|Animal Planet]]'' is a TV network devoted to programs about animals and nature.
* The "Where are they now" photos and text at the end of the email are a likely reference to the ending of the 1973 film [[Wikipedia:American Graffiti|American Graffiti]], where it was first used, or the 1978 movie [[Wikipedia:National Lampoon's Animal House|National Lampoon's Animal House]].

===Fast Forward===
[[Image:The Paper---Shreder'd + montage.PNG|thumb|220px|right|'Twas foretold]]
*The Wagon Fulla Pancakes really ''does'' do some spots for a used car dealership, as it shows up in a commercial for [[Senor Cardgage]]'s in [[Senorial Day]].
*Strong Bad and his pink suit from the Easter egg show up again in [[rock opera]].
*Homestar's "weekend" song plays at [[The King of Town]]'s party of [[boring (really)]].
*The "Showdown" song plays while Pom Pom and Homestar work out in [[Strongest Man in the World]], and during the montage of Strong Bad digging a hole in Marzipan's front yard in [[Homestar Ruiner]].
*The Paper does indeed stick around until email #173 ([[the paper]]), at which time Strong Bad actually does upgrade to an [[New Paper|inkjet printer]]. This change was also foreshadowed in email 172 ([[more armies]]) when The Paper comes down torn and sick looking. Strong Bad remarks that "that's a bad sign".
*Strong Bad says "Tonight" the same way, but it is spelt "tonite" in death metal.

== 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:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]], [[Marzipan]])

'''MATT:''' Listen... ''{Strong Bad says, "actress Marzipan" in the background.}'' And we've got Marzipan right here with us!

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously, indecipherable}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah!

'''MATT:''' He called you an actress. Isn't that nice?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah!

'''MATT:''' Seems like usually he calls you something worse than that.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah!

''{Matt and Mike both laugh.}''

'''MIKE:''' You're doing a good job acting right now, saying the word "yeah" over and over again.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Thank you.

'''MATT:''' Oh, thank you. A new word.

'''MARZIPAN:''' So, what are we here for, today?

'''MIKE:''' We're doing the commentary for the "montage" email.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. We're here in this tiny, glass-enclosed booth, recording some commentary.

'''MARZIPAN:''' It is getting smelly in here, too.

'''MATT:''' It is. Mike and I have been in here all day.

'''MARZIPAN:''' It smells like Fritos.

'''MIKE:''' Have you ever seen this email before?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I... haven't.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' Look, he's got a wagon fulla pancakes, isn't that something?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Those are not real pancakes.

'''MIKE:''' No? What are they?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I dunno, I think they're made out of plaster.

'''MATT:''' Look, Mike, there's the lake that did appear later as per your, uh, prophecy on the old DVD.

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

'''MATT:''' Your comments of the—

'''MIKE:''' ''{indecipherable}''

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that we were going to use it later and— and we did, just a few weeks after that I think.

'''MARZIPAN:''' It really is starting to smell.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Let's comment more on the— on the email. Is that— that was completely new, that— I mean it looks kind of like the one from — can't say "job" — doesn't it? But that theater—?

'''MIKE:''' It's been modified for the theater, yeah.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Um, we should head back there someday, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' And maybe we will.

'''MATT:''' For a movie.

'''MIKE:''' Look, there's your friend The Cheat.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Look, the pancakes are wearing a hat, Marzipan.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I see.

'''MATT:''' And holding a briefcase somehow.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' And now they're enjoying a highball.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I didn't know that The Cheat smoked!

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' He's got a problem.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I didn't know that—

'''MIKE:''' ''{whispering}'' There's your boyfriend.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar had that— that's ''my'' shirt.

'''MATT:''' That's yours? Uh oh, 'cause he sells it later on in this email, so—

'''MARZIPAN:''' That was mine! I was wondering what happened to it.

'''MATT:''' He got a good deal for it, at least.

'''MARZIPAN:''' What'd he get?

'''MATT:''' Uh, I'm not sure. Probably, like, 17 dollars.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I'll tell him he needs to split the proceeds.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' He should. Sounds like it should ''all'' go to you; it was ''your'' shirt.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' A nice sunset.

'''MARZIPAN:''' It's okay.

''{Pause}''

'''MATT:''' Ohhh, Homestar looks like Daniel LaRusso—

'''MIKE:''' His Karate's a joke. "You think you can rely on that crane crap?"

'''MARZIPAN:''' He's actually trained in Tae Kwon Do.

'''MATT:''' Really? Homestar is?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Wow.

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's probably why he didn't do well with the Karate.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' Oh ho! He learned the wrong martial art.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Right.

'''MATT:''' What do you think of this, um, end of the— end of the movie photo montage?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I think it's okay.

'''MATT:''' See, look. Oh! He— no, sorry, I lied. He got it for three bucks. Not 17.

'''MIKE:''' You got a buck-fifty comin' to ya.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I— Animal Planet's my favorite program.

'''MATT:''' Hey, isn't "cancelled" spelled wrong there?

'''MIKE:''' Was it?

'''MATT:''' I think "cancelled" only has one L. Let's change that before we put out this DVD.

'''MIKE:''' We can— ''{Pause}'' Oh, it's not over yet.

'''MATT:''' Oh, it's not, Marzipan.

'''MIKE:''' You might think it's over, but it's not.

'''MATT:''' Say something!

'''MIKE:''' Now it's over.

===Fun Facts===
*Daniel LaRusso is the name of the main character from ''[[Wikipedia:The Karate Kid|The Karate Kid]]''.
*"Cancelled" appears on both the website and DVD. Though both are correct ways of spelling, "canceled" is generally a more American way of spelling it.
*Unlike her prior DVD commentary appearances in emails 1-100, Marzipan has largely dropped the premise that homestarrunner.com is a show and not "real" life.
*"Can't Say Job" is the name of the HTML and Flash files for [[A Jorb Well Done]].
*[[Wikipedia:Tae Kwon Do|Tae Kwon Do]] (literally ''hand and foot art'') is a Korean form of martial arts.

==Leaving factor ==
A quote from JoeyDay:

<blockquote>:::To all those who are talking about leaving, I'm deeply saddened that you would jump ship without really giving this a chance. I don't know how many of you were around when we first switched away from 'Tavi to MediaWiki, but it wasn't exactly a walk in the park then, either. Everybody had to log in about five times before they could edit pages, and we were listed on Google as "Uncle Hamstring's Barn Yard Animals" for about three months until Google's algorithm caught up with our new format. I promise if you'll all be patient, we'll have this new system looking like the old layout in no time at all. I think we could have everything back to normal by, say, September at the latest. In the meantime, it would be really helpful if everyone could stay calm. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 20:00, 1 April 2006 (UTC)</blockquote>

I'm sure this will either bring you back, or make you guilty about being so defiant. Either way, I win, and either way, you lose. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 20:21, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

:Actually, it was a secret plan to hopefully make some users so guilty that they admit it's a prank. But, it is 'Tavi. The MediaWiki namespace is my favorite feature. Gee, imagine a namespace about a group of what you might call competitors! {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 20:39, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Bluebry. Do you check your email? {{User:FireBird/sig}} 21:07, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

== So?! ==
I ''cannot believe'' you would run away like that ''just'' because you wanted to make people feel guilty. It was just a joke, anyway. But still, why give up like that? — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 13:37, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

:It's more than that. 1) I was watching Recent Changes the entire time. 2) It was a plan to make the people who did the prank admit it was a prank. When they didn't, I got worried. I wondered if they were right. Then I recieved FireBird's email. That would be the end of that story. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 13:40, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
::Ah. So FireBird emailed you saying that it was all just a joke, but that you shouldn't ruin it for everybody else? I see. Y'know, for everyone who thought it was a prank, I'mm surprised. It was easy to see through, but I trusted every excuse the sysops said. It was amazing how much I was fooled. But it'd have been so much better if people didn't tell everyone it was a prank. That's ruining the entire thing. I myself was not entirely fooled. After all, YK spilled all the secrets on IRC. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 13:43, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
:::I agree with that, actually. It's kinda like one of those mob-psychology things. When one person does it in a large group, the others start. If other users hadn't pointed out things, I would have been fooled too. But, yeah, I would've liked it better if we both never knew... {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 13:49, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
::::I'm glad, though, that for the most part I was completely fooled. After all, YK was on IRC telling me the whole thing about 5 minutes before twelve. There's not much that I missed, and I was completely fooled all day. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 13:53, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

== Still use Mozilla Suite? ==

[[Wikipedia:SeaMonkey|SeaMonkey]] is out at 1.0. I highly recommend the upgrade. But then, I upgraded initially to 1.0Alpha, and it was so buggy I couldn't even uninstall it properly and had to delete ut manually. The release version is a lot more stable. Geez, I sound like one of those hardcore Firefox evangelists. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 04:19, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
:Hey now brotha, I said you brotha, you in your sin, hallelujah, what do you got—''I said'' what do you ''got'' against "hardcore Firefox evangelists"? (''Can'' I get a witness this blessed morning?) Now you ''know'' the day of judgement is coming, brothas an' sistas, I said the ''day'' of judgement, glorytoGod, the day of FIRE! and of WRATH! upon all the users of the Infernal Evil versions 5.0 and higha! And it is written, beloved I say it is ''written'' in the Good Book, that on that day they shall ''caalll'' upon their OS-integrated iniquities and—praise God's blessed name this morning—their OS shall not answer them! It is ''written'', children, that on that day they shall ''cryyy'' to their source to open to them! and they shall ''fall'' on their ''faces'' before their developers, but brothas and sistas I'm here to tell you this morning that their prayers shall not avail!! I said their ''tears'' and their ''cries'' shall be of no ''use'', beloved! because ''they did not know'' their developers! They didn't know their ''names''! '''Come on''' an' let me hear an amen!

::::Actually, I have nothing against Firefox specifically, it's just the shove it in your face, borderline trolling approach I've seen some of them use. You'd think this was religion they were talking about. But, let me add something to my first comment: I just upgraded to 1.0.1, and thanks to [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=324081 bug 324081], I wouldn't recommend it to ''anybody''. I'm seriously considering downgrading back to 1.0. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 00:23, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

:::::Yeah, and Abdi? You don't have to preach to ''me'' I've been a Firefox user for a VERY long time. I use Mozilla for my IRC needs. And, yeah ACupOfCoffee, thank you for the warning. But, does it load any faster on slower computers? Because I know Firefox and Mozilla Suite [[Moving Very Slowly|load VERY slowly]] on mine. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 01:05, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

::::::How slow are we talking? Firefox ran fine on my parents' old 128k Pentium 3 machine. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 01:20, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

:::::::Well, instead of giving you specs ('bout 256mb RAM, 240mb Hard disk, Intel Celeron Prosessor, proboscis,), it loads in about 5 minutes. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 01:27, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

::::::::That should be plenty good. Wait — when my sister complais to me about IE loading too slowly, I figured out she really means that pages load too slowly (but that's because my folks still have dial-up). Is that it? If not, maybe your disk needs to be defragged? (dfrg.msc in Win 2K and XP, defrag in 98, ME) Using an old version? The current Firefox is 1.5.0.2. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}}

::::::::Yeah, so I tried Seamonkey, and I find that Mozilla suite lodes significally faster. BTW, it's 10 to 20 mins to load Firefox, not 5. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 19:59, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

== 1984 Thing ==

I'm sorry about that. I accidentally made that page while trying to make a wiki link to my contribution to the "disconnected" page (which also turned out to be unneccesary). I still can't quite get the hang of wiki (it took me 20 minutes to figure out how to respond to your message. I Think this is right. If not I am dumber than I thought) Sorry again.

==About That...==
I appreciate the fact that you're giving me all this advice, and I certainly couldn't have done any of this without some of your help. But...my computer will only save it as a .jpg and it won't let me change from .jpg to .png on the file upload screen. Eventually I'll get it, though.

Bluebry, I think the original image of the [[EEV1]] menu was JPG'd because the PNG version is more than 7 times larger of a file. We try to keep more "real life" images jpegs for the reason of keeping the file size down. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 06:15, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

:::Here's a good stumper: A mother is 21 years older than her son. In 6 years, she will be 5 times older than him.

:::Where is the father? {{User:Bryanc/sig}} 01:22, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

::::...Grocery shopping? {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 01:23, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

:::::I sure hope not... {{User:Bryanc/sig}} 01:26, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

::::::...Because of the monsters in the dairy section? {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 01:32, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, since the mother is 21 years older than the son... <math>a_m = a_s +21</math>

6 years from now <math> 5a_s = a_m</math>

therefore

<math>5a_s = a_s + 21</math>      →       <math>4a_s = 21</math>    →     <math>a_s = \frac{21}{4} = 5 \frac{1}{4}</math>

since in 6 years the son will be <math>5 \frac{1}{4} years\ old</math>, right now he is <math> \frac{-3}{4} years\ old = -9 months\ old</math>.

So if the son is <math>-9 months\ old</math> the father is um....'''really really''' close to the mother, overlapping even...and definitely not grocery shopping. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 05:18, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

== Edit summaries ==

Quite a few edit summaries of yours today include or consist entirely of a strange word "ylper". I'm not sure what it means, making those edit summaries kinda indecipherable.

== Help out ==
*Hey, I'm thinking about creating a new page, but I don't know what to call it and I don't know all of its info. The page will be about interuppted names Strong Bad usually starts sounding out before getting interrupted by someone. Such as in [[bottom 10]]: He says, "and the number one spot in my bottom 10 is... Th--" and then gets interrupted. Please help out. I am sending this to all sysops. And, frick! I'm sorry about that on your userpage. --{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}}

:Hmmm...maybe...'''Strong Bad Interrupted'''? However, when making a new page, I'd watch out. Make sure what you're going to write isn't already mentionedon such pages as [[Interrupted Conversations]] or [[Strong Sad]]. Why Strong Sad? Because EVERYBODY loves Strong Sad! Anyways, yeah. That's my suggestion. And frick, it's okay. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 19:16, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
::I need some help gathering all of the appearances of it. hmm. Thanks, though. --{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}} And frick, It's frack.
:::Well, the BEST way to do it is to work as hard as possible finding appearances, and make the page. If you KNOW there are more appearances out there, but just can't find any, label the page with <nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki> at the bottom. We won't blame you for trying. Then, someone who ''can'' find the ones you couldn't... will just put them on there! Best idea I can think of... But the only TRUE way to search through it all and find all of them would be SB's Filmography category (NO LINK'd!), which is about 300 cartoons (right?), and I would NOT suggest doing that. THat's like, a week's worth of work. Week's worth of work... Try to say that five times fast. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 19:24, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Bluebry. Thanks for the info, I had no idea my image was too big. Judging by the sigbox size, I'm assuming that images must be 20 pixels tall or shorter.

Hey there. Regarding {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Gunhaver&diff=438331&oldid=438330 your confusion}}, the caption was a play on the lyrics to [http://www.guntheranderson.com/v/data/500miles.htm "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)"] by The Proclaimers (right before the first refrain) ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQfqSWe8eVE video]).

Main Pages

Pompomerania: /* Fun Facts */

[[Image:main1.png|thumb|right|220px|Today the Main Page, tomorrow the world!]]
The '''Main Pages''' are the themed menu pages for [[homestarrunner.com]]. Every time a viewer either watches or skips the [[Intro]] to the website, a random main page will load. This also happens when returning from another area of the site, although certain toons (usually holiday toons) have set main pages they will always return to. These pages contain links to the regularly updated material of the site including the [[Quote of the Week]], [[Weekly Fanstuff]], and the weekly [[Sketchbook]]. They also have the week's [[Main Page Messages|current updates]], located in the top-right corner. This reads, "Go on and see what's new!" above a bubble which displays each of the latest updates in succession. Clicking on the H*R icon at the top left takes the viewer to the [[Museum]]. There is also a "[[First Time Here?]]" button located near the updates, which links to a cartoon of [[Homestar Runner]] screwing up a welcome speech for the website.

The Main Pages consist of Homestar Runner standing in the foreground, with "[[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons]]", "[[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games]]", "[[Character Videos|Characters]]", "[[Downloads]]", "[[Store]]", and "[[Email]]" buttons to the left, with the exception of [[Main Page 23]], which has them to the right. Rolling over these with the cursor results in Homestar usually reading them aloud, while certain events relating to the theme occur in proximity to Homestar. Homestar says "The email" when "Email" is rolled over.

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===

*The only Main Pages that have Homestar in his regular outfit, size, and style are Main Pages 8, 18, 19, 23, and 24. Of these, Main Page 18 is the only one where nothing special happens with Homestar; he merely stands at the front facing forward and says the various words.
*With the exception of main pages 10, 12, 19 and 25, Homestar's voice will play over top of itself. Homsar's and the King of Town's voices will also play over top of themselves, but not Strong Bad's.
*The copyright date was changed from "2004" to "2005" on February 21, 2005.
*The copyright date was changed from "2005" to "2006" on January 8, 2006.
*The copyright date was changed from "2006" to "2007" on January 14, 2007, except on Main Page 23.
*The copyright date on Main Page 23 was changed from "2005" to "2007" on July 24, 2007.
*The copyright date was changed from "2007" to "2008" on April 11, 2008, except on Main Page 24, which was updated on or before August 25, 2008.
*In the commentary for [[coloring]], Mike and Matt discussed the idea of a [[Limozeen]] main page.

===Glitches===

*If you click on the navigation buttons from the left-hand menu area and drag your mouse away from the menu area and then let go, you can make certain effects persist. You can even combine more than one effect. (Other buttons throughout the site behave in a similar manner.)
**For example, on Main Page 1, if you click and drag "'toons", "store", and "e-mail" to the left or right and let go, you'll be able to see the spaceman at the top of the rocket, the constellations of Strong Bad and Marzipan, and Homestar's helmet all at the same time (see the image at the top of this article).
**You can use this trick for at least one effect on all the Main Pages except 7, 12, 19, 23, and 25. For the trick to work, the effect has to persist as long as you keep the mouse over the button.
**You can use this trick with all six effects on Main Page 11. If you do "downloads" first and "store" second, all six effects can be seen at once. This is the only Main Page (including the hidden ones) on which you can see all six effects at once.
*Sometimes showing more than one effect produces unexpected results. See '''[[Main Page Glitches]]''' for the complete listing.
*Homestar says "The email" when "Email" is rolled over.
