[[Image:Can_of_Peas.png|thumb|100px|{{cardgagequote}}]]

'''Senor Cardgage''' first appeared in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[kind of cool]]. He is apparently the creepy guy that lived down the street from [[The Brothers Strong]] when they were little, whose extreme sketchiness gave [[Strong Sad]] nightmares. He resembles [[Strong Bad]] somewhat, both sharing a red with black markings [[Wikipedia:Lucha libre|lucha libre]] mask for a head, green eyes, pinkish torso, boxing gloves for hands and black pants. However, he's much taller than Strong Bad. He has a round head, wears glasses, a [[mustache|beard]], and has a comb-over lock of brownish hair on the top of his head. His comb-over was revealed to be a toupée in the youtube video [[Coach Z pukes in dude's toupee]]. Senor Cardgage also has a flabby belly and much longer arms. His feet are simply black, suggesting they are covered by his [[pants]].

Senor Cardgage is often seen working different jobs, such as [[Senor Cardgage Mortgage|his own mortgage business]], a [[Senorial Day|used car dealership]], a [[licensed|day care]], and as an [[the movies|usher]]. He has also tried to market a lawn mower as an "[[concert#Easter Eggs|Intregway]]" and his own brand of shoes, [[Air Cardgage]]. His name is pronounced "[[Senor|Seh-nor]]", not "Seh-nyor", because his name is spelled with an "N" rather than an "[[Wikipedia:Ñ|Ñ]]". He is apparently [[Left Handedness#Ambidextrous Characters|ambidextrous]].

Some of his traits include:
* Suspiciously coming out of [[Weird Shrub|bushes and shrubs]] just as you walk by.
* Pronouncing words incorrectly (for example, he pronounces the word "loans", "lawns").
* Always carrying an old plastic [[Aldi Bag|Aldi grocery bag]] of mysterious contents.
* Loudly eating melty [[Zagnut Bars|chocolate bars]] while standing too close to you in lines.
* Smelling like [[Peas|pea soup]] (according to [[Homestar Runner]]).
* Speaking in phrases that are described by Strong Bad as "[[portmanteaus|almost one word and not quite another]]," such as "excardon me" and "exobably not".
* "Calling at you as if you were a lady," [[Gender Confusion|regardless of your gender]].

Strong Bad seems to look up to Senor Cardgage as sort of an idol or a father figure. He is constantly heard remarking on how cool he believes Senor Cardgage is and how he wishes to be that cool. In [[Senorial Day]], Strong Bad asks Senor to autograph his football and throw it to him. In [[alternate universe]], he says that his life is complete after going on a fishing trip with Senor Cardgage, and expresses joy at the thought of Senor adopting him. When he sees Senor as an usher in [[the movies]], he tells [[The Cheat]] that "someday [he's] going to be the one tearing tickets and telling folks that forty-twone will be on their lest." Senor also played [[Dadgeresque]] in [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]].
[[Image:Dadgeresque.PNG|thumb|left|"Hey, Brethany. Are you came to fetch the dodgers?"]]

However, none of the other characters seem to like him. In particular, Strong Sad still harbors fear against Senor Cardgage as evidenced in [[garage sale]]. Strong Mad also ran away in terror when Senor Cardgage asked him to retrieve his spectacles. And of course, Homestar seems annoyed with Senor Cardgage for standing too close to him in line while eating melty candy bars, and is put off by his odd catchphrases (as well as thinking he smells like pea soup).
[[Image:Candy product alley.png|thumb|Senor's possible residence]]
Even though he has a car dealership and his own mortgage company, his residence is unknown. It is suggested in [[Senorial Day]] and [[candy product]] that he is homeless, as he is shown in an [[alleyway]] sleeping in a sleeping bag and using his [[Wikipedia:Aldi|Aldi]] bag as a pillow, although in the email [[kind of cool]] Strong Bad implied that he lives behind a bush. Strong Sad said that Senor Cardgage lived down the street when they were little, implying he had a house at one point; however, there is no proof of this or of his current residence, if any. Although it is implied that he is poor, he offers to buy Strong Sad a can of peas at [[Strong Bad]]'s [[garage sale]] for $99, and then proceeds to walk away with it, supposedly paying, even though he is never seen to do so. A possible solution to this conflict has been shown in an Easter egg from the email [[love poems]], where it is revealed that Senor Cardgage has written a book called ''The Homeless Romantic'': "verses from the weird shrub and alarming recipes for brunswick stew".

When Strong Bad is asked what he would be like if he was not stylish and buff in the email [[kind of cool]], he describes Senor Cardgage who is, at least to Strong Bad, "so cool, you don't even know [that he is] cool". Strong Bad tries to represent what he would be like if he was an ugly, dumpy guy with a bad comb-over, and it turns out his fictional character actually existed and lived down the street from the Brothers Strong during their youth.

As shown in a commercial in [[theme song]], Senor Cardgage got fourteen degrees in the [[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU Online E-niversity]] during his lunch "take", including one that lets him "legally prescribe marriages in the state of Kansattica". He also runs a day care called [[Papa Cardgage's Puddin' Patch]].

Senor Cardgage lost a Non-Sequitur Championship to the equally bizarre character [[Homsar]]. As the loser of the contest, he had to complete a coherent sentence on [[The Show]] (as documented in the short [[Non-Sequitur Champion]]). He failed twice, but his third attempt ("Grape Soda Banked") was judged successful by "<s>celebrity</s> judge" Strong Sad.

As of [[independent]], Senor Cardgage has the most appearances of any non-main character.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Close up of Homestar}''

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

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

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

''{Close-up of Homestar}''

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

''{Cut back to medium shot}''

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

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

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

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

''{Pan over to Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' I used to have that prablem, too, but now I just swallow 'em up and spit 'em out in the ball bath.

''{Close-up of Coach Z}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{an alarm goes off}'' Ah! It's time. ''{shot of all three}'' Let's do this.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Fun Facts==

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

===Remarks===
*Although Strong Bad denies being a [[Smoking|smoker]], he's been seen to smoke a cigar in [[Store Thank You Message]].
**In consideration that the costumes are likely made from [[Polymascotfoamalate]], smoking in one would be potentially dangerous (more so than usual), as seen in [[4 branches]].

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

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

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

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

'''Page Title:''' Compy Compé

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

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

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

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

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

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

<blockquote class="email" style="border:4px solid #999;color:white">
Dear Strong Bad, 
Does Strong Badia ever host an independent film festival? 
-=Evil Gif=- 
Phoenix, Arizona
</blockquote>

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

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

''{Clears screen}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

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

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

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

''{Cut to the movie theater as seem earlier. A penciled and colored animating drawing of the studio logo is shown, along with pop music. The logo is zoomed in on.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The first step is to spend millions on a hand-drawn title sequence—

''{The logo pops away and is replaced with the orange text "presents" in orange cursive text, which starts in the center, and moves to the right. A cloud forms in the top-right corner and moves northwestwards. Then "presents" pops away and is replaced with "an indie film by" in white text. A typical city skyline is drawn from left to right. Also, the red letters "J WILLIAM POM THOMAS C POM" appears under "an indie film by". This text is continues to grow in size, and the cloud still moves northwestward, almost out of view.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —that looks like it was made by some Junior High kid during Pre-Algebra ''{The (tilted) mathematical equation "18x+14y" appears in blue and moves in a diagonal line from bottom to top in the bottom-right corner of the movie screen.}''

''{Everything besides the mathematical equation, which is still moving, goes away. A boom box is drawn on the movie screen, with the speakers moving back and forth.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, and don't forget the indie soundtrack by unknown ''{The movie screen pans upwards to reveal the black text "indie-tronic soundtrack by" and the red text "she likes cloth" under the black text.}'' bands, whose songs are already in every car commercial ever.

''{The screen pans down past the boom box. A car that appears to be a fourth generation [[Wikipedia:Nissan Motors|Nissan]] [[Wikipedia:Nissan Altima|Altima]] is drawn, and colored completely white.}''

'''SINGER:''' ''{in a high-pitched voice}'' Gets really great ''{The text "THE NEW '04" appears under the car}'' gas ''{The transparent text "18 mpg" appears under the preivous text.}'' mileage!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Interrupting in the middle of "mileage", still off screen.}'' The title of the movie is either—

''{A female character, similar to [[Missy Palmer]], is drawn wearing a yellow shirt, orange hair and blue glasses her skin color is transparent. A male character similar to [[Mike Chapman]] is shown, with a white shirt, with black glasses, and a yellow sock cap. The skin color is also transparent.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —two of the cleverly named main characters,—

''{The text "Chester + Meg" in various color patterns are transitioned in, and put in a heart in between the two characters.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —or the city and state in which it takes place.

''{As he says the prvious live, the character names are transitioned to create the word "Megchester", and then red letters change the text to "Megchester, NY". The previous city skyline is drawn again under the text.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, in fact, just call it ''{The text changes squash-and-stretches to "city, state" in blue.}'' city comma state.

''{The text changes to "city (comma) state" in the previous manner. The movie screen then fades out to white after a pause, and transitions to a black and white picture open book with the following on it, with two puzzle pieces to the side:}''

<blockquote>
If not for inspiration, to 
wit, because, as it were, only 
begotten from greed, whosoever 
would make it's plaintiff clear. 
 -Nobody U. Know 
 (deceased)
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meanwhile, Strong Sad names his movie from a few boring—
''{There is a zoom in on the page, with all of the text almost completely fading out except for "because, as it were".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —words from the middle of a boring sentence, and makes his own—

''{A tear is shown falling, and lands on the "cau" in "because", causing the ink to fade out a short distance down the page.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —soundtrack by weeping softly—

''{Cut to Strong Sad in his room. He is kneeling by his bed with his head in the "bell" of a Saxophone. A microphone is to the left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —into the wrong end of a saxophone.

''{The camera zooms in on the view of the microphone to Strong Sad's head. A light bass noise and a the light weep of Strong Sad can be heard. Then moves the Saxophone around, generating a guitar-like noise. Then there is a cut back to the movie theater. It is the same screen as it was left before, however the text "a filmic thought-excursion by Strong Sad" appears underneath "because, as it were". The "soundtrack" continues to play.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' His film will star a washed-up TV actor ''{The just introduced text is replaced by "starring"}'' that hasn't worked in ten years, in a desperate attempt ''{That text is replaced with "i mean, re-introducing"}'' to reinvent himself.

''{The text "homestar runner" appears under the previous text. There is a record scratch and abrupt cut to close-up of Homestar Runner in the field. The soundtrack has stopped.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angrily}'' Hey, whadaya lookin' at me for?

''{Cut back to the Pom Studios Production Notebook, on the same page as before.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pom Pom's movie has A-list—

''{The page flips to a picture of an actor with a five o'clock shadow, with stitches on his cheek, and something behind his ear. The photo is labeled "Lan Handermannek" at the top.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —movie stars, but they're all working "for scale". ''{The text "will work for scale" is put, as if stamped, on the photo.}'' Which I can only assume is a solid—

''{Cut to a screen with the text "PAYSTUB:" at the top. In the background there is the Pom Pictures logo tiled. A golden scale liquefies from the bottom up. The text "Pay to the order of: Lan Handermannek" is under the scale.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —gold scale, with both sides ''perfectly'' balanced ''{Five gold bars begin to pop on each side of the scale}'' with gold bricks. As for what it's about—

''{Cut to a blank brick wall with the banner "COMING THIS SUMMER!" On the top. As Strong Bad talks, the poster for a movie called "<nowiki>></nowiki>CYBER.COME.STATIC" rolls out in the space below the banner. It is space themed, featuring what appears to be a photo of [[Matt Chapman]] in yellow, red-lensed glasses with a laser gun.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —an indie film's plot is pretty much the same as any summer blockbuster,—

''{The text on the poster, "In the dead of space, dealing with aliens is the easiest part of the voyage", is enlarged.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —but just switch out any mention of the word "space" ''{The text "space," moves slightly upwards and out of place.}'' with the word, "small factory town", ''{As he says this, the words appear in sync, and in the hand-drawn style seen earlier.}'' replace "aliens" ''{The word "aliens" wiggles.}'' with "quirky, dysfunctional family", ''{The text is replaced in the same manner as before.

''{The text "journey." appears in a typewriter effect.}''

''{The sentence transitions away, and the camera zooms in on the poster for "city (comma) state" there are clouds, the city skyline, a road, and a female character and male character waving to each other.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' In the dead of a small factory town, dealing with a quirky, dysfunctional family is the ''easiest'' part of the journey.

''{Cut back to the Compé.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' There you have it, Evil Jeff. The difference between a hideous growth on my butt, and a ''profitable'' hideous growth on my butt.

''{He pauses, and says this scornfully.}'' Because I hate you. OOOoooooooo!! Now who's evil! Forget GIFs ''{Types ".gifs".}'', man. I'm an evil tif ''{Types ".tif".}''!

''{An "Ah-ha!" is heard from the Compé, and what looks like a rectangular speech bubble slides up from the bottom-left corner of the view (which is the [[Virtual Paper]]). It reads "click to email strongbad" with the back link is shown a few lines under it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Looks like I've gone the-paperless with this new computer. Can I at least customize that sound it makes?

The '''Virtual Paper''' is a pop-up bubble reading "click to email strongbad" that serves as a built-in paper with the [[Compé]], though does not appear on the Compé itself, and overlays all elements of the cartoon. In email [[independent]], this "paper" appeared at the end, much to [[Strong Bad]]'s delight, automatically. Strong Bad then customised Virtual Paper's pop-up noise to match [[The Paper]]'s old "[[Preeow]]" noise.

Made-up Real Things

[[Image:senorialsmall.PNG|thumb|"Wait, is Senor Cardgage real?!"]]
In the continuity of the [[Homestar Runner universe]], it's often unclear if things are [[History According To Strong Bad|made up]] or really happen. Occasionally, something that is '''clearly made up''' during one toon '''later appears as a real thing''' in another toon, without any particular reason or cause. While a fair number of these instances have been fruits of [[Strong Bad]]'s imagination, the other residents of [[Free Country, USA]] have periodicly created something in their heads that later on mysteriously become real. Whether or not the inventors of these mind-bending, reality-defying creatures and creations had anything to do with them, or if they pre-existed their alleged conception, is never revealed nor explained for the mostpart, so this bizzare, blurred line between fantasy and reality remains one of the great unexplicable mysteries in the Homestar Runner universe.

*Both [[The Goblin]] and the [[Visor Robot]] were made up (by [[Homestar Runner]] and [[Strong Bad]], respectively) in [[Homestarloween Party]], and became real in [[Where's The Cheat?]] and [[Senorial Day]].
*When Strong Bad listed [[Limozeen]] and [[Taranchula]] in [[band names]], it was implied that he was making them up on the spot (indeed, that's what [[TBC]] were doing), not listing bands that already existed in the Homestar Runner universe.
*[[Stinkoman]] from [[20X6]] was originally made up by Strong Bad to describe himself as a japanese cartoon. He makes an appearance in [[Free Country, USA]] in the halloween cartoon [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]]. [[20X6]] was shown to be real in the email [[alternate universe]].
*[[Trogdor]] was drawn by [[Strong Bad]] in the email [[dragon]], received his own video game in [[TROGDOR!]], then appeared outside Strong Bad's window in [[Trogday 08]].
*[[Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]] was made up by Strong Bad in response to an email asking him to create a [[crazy cartoon]]. Later, Homestar Runner and Strong Bad are seen watching [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes|an episode of it]] on TV. Unlike other instances of this phenomenon, Strong Bad actually notices, and asks "didn't I invent this cartoon?". The characters and place of the cartoon became real in [[mini-golf]].
*[[Vector Strong Bad]] was made up by Strong Bad for the game [[StrongBadZone]], but became real in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 10.2]].
*[[Senor Cardgage]] was just a creepy comb-over version of Strong Bad until [[Senor Mortgage]] came along.
**The [[TV Time Toons Menu]] description for Senor Mortgage read: "Wait, is Senor Cartgage real?"
*In [[army]], [[The Cheat]] dressed up as [[Firebert]], a character he most likely made up. This later started the [[Cheat Commandos]], an actual television show in [[Free Country, USA]].
*[[Li'l Brudder]] and [[Tendafoot]] were drawn by Strong Bad, but became a TV show in [[The Li'l Brudder Show]].
*The [[Wagon Fulla Pancakes]] was made up by Strong Bad in the email [[montage]]. It later appeared in [[Senorial Day]].
*[[Da Huuuuuudge]] and [[Sterrance]] were both made up by Strong Bad in [[animal]], but became real in [[alternate universe]].
*When introduced in [[animal]], the [[Lappy 486]] was a he. In [[dreamail]], Strong Bad imagined it as a she, and she's been that way ever since.
*The [[SBLOUNSKCHED!]] bar originally appeared in [[candy product]] as Strong Bad's hypothetical candy bar, but Pom Pom later pulls out a bag of Fun-Sized versions of said candy bar in [[Most in the Graveyard]].
*[[Onion Bubs]] was first mentioned in [[original]] as being a stand-in for the departed [[Original Bubs]], though both Bubs and Marzipan indicate Strong Bad made the whole story up. Nevertheless, Onion Bubs shows up again in [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]], and later in [[Kick-a-Ball]].
*Many characters and places from [[Videlectrix]] games were made up, but became real in [[8-Bit is Enough]]; most notably elements from [[Peasant's Quest]], [[Stinkoman 20X6]], [[Halfathalon]], [[Gel-Arshie's Pro Fruitboarder]], and [[Spirits of '76]].

'''MARZIPAN:''' Now Strong Sad, I need to make contact with Credenza. Homestar watered him with Yoo-Hoo while I was in Miami and he died and now I really miss him.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay. I'll need a photograph of the deceased ''{she gives him one}'' and two box Oreos. ''{Marzipan does a slight double-take.}''

''{cut to Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat in their costumes with their supplies for the evening}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, this is gonna be so great you guys. Everybody's houses and pumpkins and trees won't know what hit 'em. ''{quickly and high-pitched}'' This is gonna be great!

''{The King of Town walks up.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Hey, guys. What's up? What are we doing here? Making omelettes? Going to the bathroom? I'm cool with that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get out of here, old man! We're gonna be pelting people like you and houses like your castle with these eggs.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' C'mon! Let me hang out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' No way! Forget it! C'mon, los dudes. Let's go hit Marzipan's gaze-bo.

''{they all leave and the King of Town chases after them.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I'm dressed to Hamburgle... Robble! Robble!

''{cut to Homestar, Pom Pom, Coach Z, and Bubs standing around in their costumes}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I bet I get... a million pounds of candy this year. A million pounds!

'''BUBS:''' Whatever. I'm goin' for quality over quantity.

'''COACH Z:''' Same here, Bubsy. I'm holdin' out for cookies with gold-plated chocolate chorps!

''{Bubs sighs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' We'll see about that. C'mon, Pom Pom. Let's go find some houses giving away lead candies!

''{Cut to a view of the sky.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Let 'er rip! ''{The Cheat grunts as many rolls of toilet paper are thrown into the air. The camera pans back to show that The Stick is covered, while Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat stand nearby.}'' Yes! All will tremble at the crack of our eggs and the hush of our 2-ply toilet papers.

''{The King of Town walks up again.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I know how to use toilet paper. Let me try.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Listen... ahem... "Your Highness". We're about to egg the everloving crap out of your castle. It just won't be any fun if you're standing there!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Yeah it will! On account o' I'm totally cool!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quickly and quietly}'' No, you're not. ''{in a normal voice}'' But we're prepared to give you a dozen of these eggs ''{The Cheat grunts as if saying "here" as he lays down a carton of eggs in front of The King of Town}'' and let you wash it down with a roll of toilet paper, ''{Strong Mad throws a roll of toilet paper next to the eggs}'' in exchange for you leaving us alone for the rest of eternity.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{delighted}'' It's a deal! ''{The King runs off, taking his eggs and toilet paper with him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's what I thought.

''{cuts to a door opening to reveal Coach Z and Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' What the? Oh, I remember this house from a couple of years ago.

'''COACH Z:''' Track or Trort!

'''BUBS:''' C'mon, man.

'''COACH Z:''' Okay, Trick or Treat.

''{At this point you can choose what candy to give them by dragging it onto them.}''

''{they hear a knocking sound}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' What's that? That must be him.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yup. That sounds like a ficus.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Get in here, you guys. You're gonna scare away Credenza.

''{Cut to the King of Town, eating the last of his toilet paper.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Doo! Not bad for a first course. ...I'm still hungry.

''{cuts back to everyone at Marzipan's house}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I told you I'd get a million libs of candy.

'''BUBS:''' That sure doesn't smell like candy.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sniffs the bag}'' ''{slightly angry}'' Hey, you're right! Poopsmith, did you give me some bum candy?

'''BUBS:''' ''{snickers}'' He sure did!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Any minute now. ''{electrical disturbances occur}'' Oooo!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Whoa! Electrical disturbances. There's definitely a powerful spirit present.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{leans into the scene}'' You mean, like, the spirit of giving?

''{Outside, the King of Town is eating a string of candy corn lights}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{eating noises}''

''{Marzipan walks up}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' You've got to be kidding me! Stop doing that right now.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Stop what? I don't do nothing!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Stupid, stupid King of Town. He gets on my nerv— ''{loud banging occurs}'' What the crap!?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I think this is it!

''{outside, Strong Mad is punching the side of the house with a roll of toilet paper over and over}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' WAH! WAH! WAH! WAH!

'''STRONG MAD:''' HIGGINS!!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, hi, Strong Mad. ''{mumbles}'' Stupid. This is stupid. He ate the candy corn lights.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa. What's going on in here? You guys having one of those stupid moron parties or something?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Whoa. The lights went out.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa. Magic.

'''BUBS:''' Yup. I've dealt with this before. Lights: definitely out.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And somebody's a-grabbin' a-my butt.

''{the lights come on and there is a ficus plant on the table}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Credenza! You're alive!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Saints be praised! Credenza's alive!

*The first sound the King of Town makes when he eats the candy corn lights is the same as when he eats the food flung at him in the game [[Revenge of the King]].
*There are a total of ten Easter eggs in this cartoon, even more than the Strong Bad Emails [[flashback]] and [[email thunder]].
*In the [[Sketchbook (museum)|Sketchbook]], it is revealed that a rejected Marzipan costume for an early Halloween toon was also a Speed Racer costume, [[Wikipedia:Speed Racer#The characters|Trixie]].
*If you zoom in on the change Bubs gives Homestar, all of the coins (a dime, a nickel, and a penny) have George Washington on them, even though George Washington is only on the U.S. quarter and one-dollar bill in real life.
*The noise Stinkoman makes when he dances (when you give him the prawn) is the same sound effect that [[Pan-Pan]] uses to talk.
*This is the first Homestar Halloween toon to actually include the word "halloween" in the title.
*This is the first major Halloween toon where the loading screen does not include any type of game.
*Up until [[Halloween Fairstival]], this was the longest holiday toon on the site.

===Remarks===
*This Halloween episode carries on the tradition in which a secret scene with Homsar is activated by interacting with the Poopsmith somehow.
*In every other Halloween episode (except the first, for the obvious reason that Homsar didn't exist yet), activating Homsar causes him to appear with the rest of the group at the end. This episode is the exception—whether or not you activate Homsar and/or Stinkoman, they do not appear at the end.
*This is one of the first times that Coach Z demonstrates his ability to speak without his trademark Upper Midwestern accent.
*The rings around The Cheat's right "foot" (part of his Izzy costume) may suggest that this portion of his anatomy is actually a tail.
*When Homestar and Pom Pom are walking together, you can see that Homestar's wig shakes, but Pom Pom's necklace stays in place.
*In the final group shot, each time you click on a character to activate an Easter egg, Strong Bad closes his mouth (whether or not he has any lines) and opens it again once each egg is finished. Coach Z's arm also moves a little bit when Easter Eggs are activated in the last scene.
*At the end of the Poopsmith's Easter egg on the final screen, the Poopsmith walks back into the frame. Not only is this one of the few times we ever see him walk, but he has ''knees'' (at least in this costume).
*During the scene with the "electrical disturbance," it is unclear how problems with the house's power could be affecting the candles on the table, seemingly the only light source in the room.

===Goofs===
*When Homestar kicks the ground, he leaves a mark on it that disappears after Strong Bad shows up.
*When The Cheat and The Brothers Strong leave The Stick after their deal with the King of Town, The Cheat's torch reappears in his hand/paw.
*When Bubs says he has all of Strong Bad's stuff 'round back, his upper arm looks disconnected from his lower arm.
*When Strong Sad chants "Credenza" with the rest of the group, his mouth doesn't move.
*During every Easter egg on the end screen accessible by clicking on a character, Strong Mad is illuminated.
*When the lights flicker back on and Credenza is resurrected, the candles on the table disappear until the zoom-out when all characters exclaim "Yay!"
*During every Easter egg at the end Strong Bad's mouth closes slightly.
*When Bubs says he has all of Strong Bad's stuff 'round back, he goes through the back door without opening.

===Inside References===
*The Cheat's costume refers to the first Homestar Runner book, which was written during the 1996 [[Olympics]] in Atlanta when Mike Chapman was a light rigger for the Australian telecasts of those games.
*Strong Bad's response to everyone's [[What are you supposed to be?|incorrect guesses about his costume]] make reference to his line in [[Homestarloween Party]] ("I'm Carmen freakin' Miranda!") and his line in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] ("I'm Carmen freakin' Sandiego!").
*The [[Delicious "Bag"]] first appeared in [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]].
*This toon marks the fourth time [[Witches' Brew]], an inside joke of tremendous proportions, has been mentioned.
*Though now focused on the King of Town's castle, Strong Bad previously wanted to "egg the everloving crap" out of Marzipan's house in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 7.0]].
*Bubs's line "I remember this house from a couple of years ago.", as well as the whole scene, is an obvious reference to [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]].
**In addition, the [[Wikipedia:Detroit Tigers|Detroit Tigers]] baseball cap worn by Strong Mad was previously worn by Pom Pom as part of his Michael Moore costume in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].
*Strong Mad also had visible chest hairs in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]].
*Homestar Runner knocks on Marzipan's door with his head. In [[The Reddest Radish]], ''she'' knocked on ''his'' door in the same way.
*This is another appearance of [[Loose Coins]].

*The line "I'm a demon on wheels!" from Stinkoman's intro is taken from the [[Wikipedia:Speed Racer|Speed Racer]] theme song.
*The flaming maneuver the Poopsmith does when you click on him is M. Bison's Psycho Crusher attack from the [[Street Fighter]] series. The move was known in earlier versions of SFII as the "flaming torpedo". Hence, the reference to a "flaming Poopsmith".
*When Strong Mad bashes a hole in the house he yells "Higgins!" This is a reference to the show [[Wikipedia:Magnum, P.I.|Magnum, P.I.]] (where Strong Mad's costume comes from). Higgins is the manager of the estate where Magnum lives.
*The line Homestar says to Coach Z at the end of the toon, "I really like your Wesley Snakes outfit," is likely a reference to [[Wikipedia:Wesley Snipes|Wesley Snipes]], the actor who played the character Blade in all three [[Wikipedia:Blade (movie)|Blade]] movies.

*[[Strong Sad]]'s lines at the end—"This is not my beautiful house! This is not my beautiful wife!"—are lyrics from the song "Once in a Lifetime" by [[wikipedia:Talking Heads|Talking Heads]]. This is appropriate, as Strong Sad's "big suit" costume is the one worn by their lead singer, [[wikipedia:David Byrne|David Byrne]], in the concert movie [[wikipedia:Stop Making Sense|Stop Making Sense]].
*Homestar's line "Let, me, in! (Da Da Da) let me in!" is a reference to "Shall We Dance?", a duet from the musical "[[Wikipedia:The King and I|The King and I]]", in which the orchestra plays the "Da Da Da" rhythm.
*Homestar's line about houses giving away lead candies is a reference to a [[Wikipedia:Moral panic|moral panic]] that occurred during the 1980s, in which there was much fear of people giving away candy that had been tampered with to children. Some of the more popular suspects were apples injected with drugs, candies with needles broken off into them, and as Homestar remarks, pieces of lead wrapped in candy wrappers.
**Homestar could also be looking for a quick way to reach his goal of one million pounds of candy, as lead is well known as a rather massive element.
*[[Wikipedia:Oreo|Oreos]] are a popular brand of cookie.

==DVD Version==
*The Homsar Easter egg is automatically enabled; no selecting required.
*The Stinkoman Easter egg is enabled by selecting the pumpkin at Bubs's feet with your DVD remote (rather than selecting a candy).

*All of the ending Easter eggs play automatically. They are played in this order:
**Strong Bad
**Coach Z
**Strong Sad
**Marzipan
**Bubs
**The Cheat
**The Poopsmith
*When the toon is played in "Play All", the treat for Coach Z and Bubs is automatically picked for you. Also, Stinkoman's scene is automatically unlocked and his treat is automatically picked for you as well. The treats automatically picked are:
**'''Coach Z and Bubs''': Zagnut
**'''Stinkoman''': "Akira" Jar
*To access the Easter egg involving Puppet Homestar, push down on the remote control until the H*R logo lights up.

''{The scene opens with Homestar Runner at Bubs' Concession Stand, finalizing a transaction.}''

'''BUBS:''' ...and 16 cents is your change. ''{drops the change on the counter}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa! Free money!

'''BUBS:''' So, what are you gettin' into tonight, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. ''{rubs his foot on the ground}'' Marzipan and those are gonna try to summon the spirit of her dead ficus plant, but that sounds dumb and boring. So I'll probably just end up trick-or-treatin'.

'''BUBS:''' What about Strong Bad? What's he doin'?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. You can never tell with that guy.

''{Strong Bad approaches the concession stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ok, Bubs. I'll have 90 rolls of toilet paper and 60 dozen eggs. ''{looks around}'' ...And a corn dog.

'''BUBS:''' I got it all packed up for you in the wagon 'round back.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, pally.

MU-HU-HA-HA</pre>

'''MARZIPAN:''' Now Strong Sad, I need to make contact with Credenza. Homestar watered him with Yoo-Hoo while I was in Miami and he died and now I really miss him.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay. I'll need a photograph of the deceased ''{she gives him one}'' and two box Oreos. ''{Marzipan does a slight double-take.}''

''{cut to Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat in their costumes with their supplies for the evening}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, this is gonna be so great you guys. Everybody's houses and pumpkins and trees won't know what hit 'em. ''{quickly and high-pitched}'' This is gonna be great!

''{The King of Town walks up.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Hey, guys. What's up? What are we doing here? Making omelettes? Going to the bathroom? I'm cool with that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get out of here, old man! We're gonna be pelting people like you and houses like your castle with these eggs.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' C'mon! Let me hang out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' No way! Forget it! C'mon, los dudes. Let's go hit Marzipan's gaze-bo.

''{they all leave and the King of Town chases after them.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I'm dressed to Hamburgle... Robble! Robble!

''{cut to Homestar, Pom Pom, Coach Z, and Bubs standing around in their costumes}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I bet I get... a million pounds of candy this year. A million pounds!

'''BUBS:''' Whatever. I'm goin' for quality over quantity.

'''COACH Z:''' Same here, Bubsy. I'm holdin' out for cookies with gold-plated chocolate chorps!

''{Bubs sighs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' We'll see about that. C'mon, Pom Pom. Let's go find some houses giving away lead candies!

''{Cut to a view of the sky.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Let 'er rip! ''{The Cheat grunts as many rolls of toilet paper are thrown into the air. The camera pans back to show that The Stick is covered, while Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat stand nearby.}'' Yes! All will tremble at the crack of our eggs and the hush of our 2-ply toilet papers.

''{The King of Town walks up again.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I know how to use toilet paper. Let me try.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Listen... ahem... "Your Highness". We're about to egg the everloving crap out of your castle. It just won't be any fun if you're standing there!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Yeah it will! On account o' I'm totally cool!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quickly and quietly}'' No, you're not. ''{in a normal voice}'' But we're prepared to give you a dozen of these eggs ''{The Cheat grunts as if saying "here" as he lays down a carton of eggs in front of The King of Town}'' and let you wash it down with a roll of toilet paper, ''{Strong Mad throws a roll of toilet paper next to the eggs}'' in exchange for you leaving us alone for the rest of eternity.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{delighted}'' It's a deal! ''{The King runs off, taking his eggs and toilet paper with him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's what I thought.

''{cuts to a door opening to reveal Coach Z and Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' What the? Oh, I remember this house from a couple of years ago.

'''COACH Z:''' Track or Trort!

'''BUBS:''' C'mon, man.

'''COACH Z:''' Okay, Trick or Treat.

''{At this point you can choose what candy to give them by dragging it onto them.}''
------------
==== Swedish Fish ====
'''COACH Z:''' Oh, the Swordish Forsh!

'''BUBS:''' What did I just tell you?

'''COACH Z:''' Cut me some slack. It's a crowd-pleaser.

''{door closes}''

==== Delicious "Bag" ====
'''COACH Z:''' What is that? One of them old school candies? I got some old school for youse. ''{rapping}'' This year Halloween falls on a weekend. Me and Ghetto Boys are trick-or-treatin'. Robbin' little kids for bags.

'''BOTH:''' AWWWWWW— ''{slam}''

''{You can also choose nothing by clicking anywhere on the screen, but not giving them a treat. If you do this, the door closes, and reopens with Stinkoman dressed as Speed Racer. You can also drag the pumpkin near the door onto Bubs or Coach Z to trigger this.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Check out my new cohs-PLAY! I'm a demon on wheels!

==== Zagnut ====
'''STINKOMAN:''' I can't eat that kind of bar because I'm in training. Don't you have of the other kinds of bars? You know... energy bars... or power bars... or training bars?

==== Prawn ====
'''STINKOMAN:''' I love prawns. Simple as that! ''{dances}''

==== Jar labeled "Akira" ====
'''STINKOMAN:''' Eh. Ew. Aah! Nnn! Eh! Ew! Ahhhhh! ''{Giant tentacles and veins start coming out his body where his right arm should be}'' That tickles.
--------------------------
''{cuts to Pom Pom and Homestar walking along}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wow, Pom Pom. Did you know that lady? Why'd she give you a hundred bucks? All's I got was a dang old Bit o' Honey.

''{they stop at The Poopsmith, dressed up, who is sticking his shovel in and out of a pile of [[whatsit]]}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, Pom Pom. You knock this time. ''{Pom Pom does nothing}'' Fine. I'll ring the doorbell. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! ''{He rocks his head back and forth as if his head were a bell}'' The Poopsmith! Trick or treat! ''{The Poopsmith offers a scoop of whatsit. Pom Pom bubbles something and leaves}'' Suit yourself. More for me. Lay it on me, Poop-Stick!

''{cuts to Strong Sad in his seance}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Credenza! Credwenzia! Crewdenz—

'''MARZIPAN:''' It's been two hours and we haven't heard anything. Credenza must hate me.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, no! Maybe I just need to do this some more. Credenzel!!!

''{they hear a knocking sound}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' What's that? That must be him.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yup. That sounds like a ficus.

''{Cut to Homestar Runner on the porch}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let, me, in. ''{hits the door with his head as each word is spoken}'' Da, da, da. Let me in!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{opening the door}'' Hey, you're not a dead ficus plant!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're so smart. I'm Homestar Runn—

'''MARZIPAN:''' Get in here, you guys. You're gonna scare away Credenza.

''{Cut to the King of Town, eating the last of his toilet paper.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Doo! Not bad for a first course. ...I'm still hungry.

''{cuts back to everyone at Marzipan's house}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I told you I'd get a million libs of candy.

'''BUBS:''' That sure doesn't smell like candy.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sniffs the bag}'' ''{slightly angry}'' Hey, you're right! Poopsmith, did you give me some bum candy?

'''BUBS:''' ''{snickers}'' He sure did!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Any minute now. ''{electrical disturbances occur}'' Oooo!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Whoa! Electrical disturbances. There's definitely a powerful spirit present.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{leans into the scene}'' You mean, like, the spirit of giving?

''{Outside, the King of Town is eating a string of candy corn lights}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{eating noises}''

''{Marzipan walks up}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' You've got to be kidding me! Stop doing that right now.

''{she goes back in}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Stop what? I don't do nothing!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Stupid, stupid King of Town. He gets on my nerv— ''{loud banging occurs}'' What the crap!?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I think this is it!

''{outside, Strong Mad is punching the side of the house with a roll of toilet paper over and over}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' WAH! WAH! WAH! WAH!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sitting on throne made from stacks of toilet paper rolls}'' Uhhh, that's not really the conventional way to roll a house, but, uh, whatever works!

''{cut to inside, showing Strong Mad punching a hole in the side of the house.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' HIGGINS!!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, hi, Strong Mad. ''{mumbles}'' Stupid. This is stupid. He ate the candy corn lights.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa. What's going on in here? You guys having one of those stupid moron parties or something?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay. Everybody say it with me this time.

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is boring! 
'''STRONG SAD AND MARZIPAN:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Credenza! 
'''COACH Z:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Cradernza!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Witch's brew! 
'''STRONG SAD AND MARZIPAN:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Credenza! 
'''COACH Z:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Cradernza!

''{A sudden gust of wind blows the candles out and the room goes dark.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Whoa. The lights went out.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa. Magic.

'''BUBS:''' Yup. I've dealt with this before. Lights: definitely out.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And somebody's a-grabbin' a-my butt.

''{the lights come on and there is a ficus plant on the table}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Credenza! You're alive!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Saints be praised! Credenza's alive!

'''STRONG SAD AND MARZIPAN:''' Yay!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...and Strong Bad got to throw toilet paper at stuff!

'''STRONG BAD, STRONG MAD, AND THE CHEAT:''' Yay!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:'''... and I got a million pounds of candy! ''{No one cheers.}'' ''{quietly, to himself}'' Yay. ''{to the group}'' ...and the goblin showed up, dressed up like up a Santam'n.

''{cut to The Goblin, who dances. His trademark music plays as he does.}''

'''ALL:''' Yay!

==Easter Eggs==
*In the scene where you give Bubs and Coach Z candy, any mouse click that doesn't result in candy being given results in Stinkoman appearing, dressed as Speed Racer ([[#Zagnut 2|see the transcript]]).

*When the door opens for the candy giving scene, including the Stinkoman section, the light switch by the door can be flipped by clicking on it. It is not believed to have any effect.

*When Homestar says "I told you I'd get a million libs of candy" you can click on The Poopsmith's head until the scene ends to see Homsar's secret costume, Slash from Guns N' Roses.
*:''{lights dim, Homsar enters from the left}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*When Homestar says "I told you I'd get a million libs of candy", he is trying to pronounce the abbreviation of pounds: "lbs".
*[[Wikipedia:Cosplay|Cosplay]] (as mentioned in Stinkoman's greeting) is a form of dress-up done usually at anime conventions, where people dress up as anime characters they enjoy.
*A [[Wikipedia:Credenza|credenza]] is a piece of furniture, usually wooden, with a long top and several drawers for storing dinner- and silverware. It is most commonly used as a buffet setting for large meals. Less commonly, a [[Wikipedia:Credenza desk|credenza desk]] is a piece of office furniture having a long flat top and often containing file drawers, a kneehole, and accessories for a computer.

===Trivia===
*Bit o' Honey, [[Zagnut Bars|Zagnut]], and [[Wikipedia:Swedish fish|Swedish Fish]] are actual candies.
*The first sound the King of Town makes when he eats the candy corn lights is the same as when he eats the food flung at him in the game [[Revenge of the King]].
*There are a total of ten Easter eggs in this cartoon, even more than the Strong Bad Emails [[flashback]] and [[email thunder]].
*In the [[Sketchbook (museum)|Sketchbook]], it is revealed that a rejected Marzipan costume for an early Halloween toon was also a Speed Racer costume, [[Wikipedia:Speed Racer#The characters|Trixie]].
*If you zoom in on the change Bubs gives Homestar, all of the coins (a dime, a nickel, and a penny) have George Washington on them, even though George Washington is only on the U.S. quarter and one-dollar bill in real life.
*The noise Stinkoman makes when he dances (when you give him the prawn) is the same sound effect that [[Pan-Pan]] uses to talk.
*This is the first Homestar Halloween toon to actually include the word "halloween" in the title.
*This is the first major Halloween toon where the loading screen does not include any type of game.
*Up until [[Halloween Fairstival]], this was the longest holiday toon on the site.

===Remarks===
*This Halloween episode carries on the tradition in which a secret scene with Homsar is activated by interacting with the Poopsmith somehow.
*In every other Halloween episode (except the first, for the obvious reason that Homsar didn't exist yet), activating Homsar causes him to appear with the rest of the group at the end. This episode is the exception—whether or not you activate Homsar and/or Stinkoman, they do not appear at the end.
*This is one of the first times that Coach Z demonstrates his ability to speak without his trademark Upper Midwestern accent.
*The rings around The Cheat's right "foot" (part of his Izzy costume) may suggest that this portion of his anatomy is actually a tail.
*When Homestar and Pom Pom are walking together, you can see that Homestar's wig shakes, but Pom Pom's necklace stays in place.
*In the final group shot, each time you click on a character to activate an Easter egg, Strong Bad closes his mouth (whether or not he has any lines) and opens it again once each egg is finished. Coach Z's arm also moves a little bit when Easter Eggs are activated in the last scene.
*At the end of the Poopsmith's Easter egg on the final screen, the Poopsmith walks back into the frame. Not only is this one of the few times we ever see him walk, but he has ''knees'' (at least in this costume).
*During the scene with the "electrical disturbance," it is unclear how problems with the house's power could be affecting the candles on the table, seemingly the only light source in the room.

===Goofs===
*When Homestar kicks the ground, he leaves a mark that disappears after Strong Bad shows up.
*When The Cheat and The Brothers Strong leave The Stick after their deal with the King of Town, The Cheat's torch reappears in his hand/paw.
*When Bubs says he has all of Strong Bad's stuff 'round back, his upper arm looks disconnected from his lower arm.
*When Strong Sad chants "Credenza" with the rest of the group, his mouth doesn't move.
*During every Easter egg on the end screen accessible by clicking on a character, Strong Mad is illuminated.
*When the lights flicker back on and Credenza is resurrected, the candles on the table disappear until the zoom-out when all characters exclaim "Yay!"
*During every Easter egg at the end Strong Bad's mouth closes slightly.

*Homestar's line about houses giving away lead candies is a reference to a [[Wikipedia:Moral panic|moral panic]] that occurred during the 1980s, in which there was much fear of people giving away candy that had been tampered with to children. Some of the more popular suspects were apples injected with drugs, candies with needles broken off into them, and as Homestar remarks, pieces of lead wrapped in candy wrappers.
**Homestar could also be looking for a quick way to reach his goal of one million pounds of candy, as lead is well known as a rather massive element.

Strong Bad refuses to check his [[alternate universe|150th email]]. Strong Sad tries to help.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Lappy 486#Female Lappy 486|Female Lappy 486]], {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|Strong Sad}}, [[Coach Z]] (Drawing), [[Homestar Runner]] (Drawing), {{Film|Strong Mad}} (voice only)

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[Basement of the Brothers Strong]]

'''Date:''' Monday, March 27, 2006

'''Running Time:''' 1:46

'''Page title:''' Not Just Yet!!

'''DVD:''' [[strongbad email.exe Disc Five|strongbad_email.exe Disc Five]]

==Transcript==
''{The scene opens on the Lappy 486, with Strong Bad nowhere to be seen. The wind howls. After a few seconds, Female Lappy 486 appears on screen with the second note of the Lappy start-up noise.}''

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' ''{the words appear on the screen as she says them}'' Oh. Golly-gosh. Strong Bad is understairs. Tell whim I love.

''{Quick drop to the Basement. Strong Bad is lying on the couch; Strong Sad is standing behind it.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' You get your shiny, round butt up in there and check that email!

'''STRONG BAD:''' No! Now, get out of my couch...area!

'''STRONG SAD:''' But it's your sesquicentenn-email!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't wanna turn a hundred and fifty! It's too much pressure! Strong Mad ate it!

'''STRONG SAD:''' It's okay, I can help! Check out these storyboards I drew up!

''{Strong Bad strains his neck to view the storyboard. Cut to a storyboard showing Strong Bad's boxing gloves on the Lappy 486's keyboard. Slow piano music starts. Above, it says "Scene 1" and "Int. Lappy-Day"; below, "Close on tip-tapping boxing gloves".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' We begin with a claustrophobic close-up of typing with boxing gloves on.

''{Cut to a storyboard showing Strong Bad sitting at his desk in the middle of the desert. Above, it says "Scene 1a" and "Ext. Desert-Day"; below, "zoom out to reveal wide shot of desk in desert".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' A quick zoom out reveals you're really in the middle of a barren desert landscape, symbolizing the vast scope of your achievement.

''{Cut to a storyboard showing Coach Z holding a pear covered with [[Googly-eyed Objects|googly eyes]] and with coffee dripping out of his hat and down his face. Above, it says, "Scene 2" and "Int. Creepytown-Night"; below, "dolly in on cz. holds up eyeball-pear".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Next, we dolly in on Coach Z holding a pear covered with eyeballs while black coffee continually streams down his mouthless face.

''{Piano music stops. Cut to a close up of Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' This part doesn't represent anything. I just... always wanted to pour coffee on Coach Z.

''{Cut to a storyboard showing Strong Bad at his desk in the Computer Room, with the [[No Loafing Sign]] partially obscured. Homestar Runner is wearing a mask, and the star on his shirt is now cloud-shaped. Piano music starts again. Above, it says, "Scene 3" and "Int. Computer Room-Day"; below, "2 shot of SB and Desire Man".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Cut to a two-shot of you hashing it out with your innermost desires.

''{Cut to a storyboard showing a doughnut with a bite taken out of it. It is leaking jelly, in which Strong Bad's face appears. Above, it says, "Scene 4" and "Int. Donut Place-Night"; below, "ECU of jellyfish reflector. tear. fade out."}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And we end on an extreme close-up of your reflection in the gooey filling of a jelly doughnut as you shed a single tear.

''{Cut back to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' It's equal parts Lynchian, Fellinian, and Steve Buscemian, don't you think?

''{Cut back to the wide-shot of the couch. Strong Bad is now lying face-down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{incomprehensible mumbles}'' Pilotwings... ''{more incomprehensible mumbles}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, never mind. ''{Strong Bad starts snoring}'' I'll go see what Strong Mad thinks of my Doug the Dino treatment. ''{walks offscreen}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' DON'T BOTHER!

''{A storyboard suddenly appears with a louder-than-usual punching sound, showing Strong Bad yelling. Above, it says "Scene 12" and "Int. Day-Up in your grill"; below, "Med. close on SB. 'Leemee alone. I do it next week!'"}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*"Sesquicentennial" is the term for a 150th anniversary.
*[[Wikipedia:Claustrophobia|Claustrophobia]] is an anxiety disorder which involves a fear of confined spaces.
*The filename, "149pernt5", is a [[Coach Z#Coach Z's Accent|Coach Z pronunciation]] of "149.5".
*"ECU" stands for "'''E'''xtreme '''C'''lose'''u'''p"

[[Image:Storyboards in full.PNG|thumb|"Check out these storyboards I drew up!"]]

===Remarks===
*The back button redirects you only to [[Main Page 19]].
*At the end, in the storyboard-style sketch of him, Strong Bad appears to have teeth. This could also be implying that his mouth is moving, with Strong Bad's upper lip closing down on the open mouth.
*We see from Strong Sad's storyboards and his references to Frederico Fellini and David Lynch that he retains his interest in making [[Experimental Film]]s.
*When we see the storyboards in a longer shot, they do not match any of the close-up storyboards. The top left picture is of Strong Bad surrounded by "majesty" lines; the top right picture is a labeled jar with two arrows pointing to it. Decompiling the Flash file shows two others, one which appears to be a close-up of [[Bubs]]' face, and another of Homestar Runner turning and yelling.

===Goofs===
*The ripples do not appear when you click on Lappy's screen.

===Inside References===
*This is another instance of Strong Bad's [[Couch Mumbling]].
*Strong Sad references the oddity of [[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|Strong Bad typing with boxing gloves on]] in the first storyboard scene.
*"Tip-tapping" might be an allusion to Strong Bad's [[secret identity]] "[[Secret Identities#Tip Tappers|Tip Tappers]]".
*[[Doug the Dino]] originally appeared in [[the facts]].
*Strong Bad claiming that he "doesn't want to turn 150" could be a reference to an Easter egg in [[flashback]], where Duckie Shirt Homestar says "Happy Hundredth Birthday, Strong Bad!"
*The storyboard at the end is titled "Up in your grill". Bubs used the word "grill" in a very similar way in [[replacement]], when he said he'd "kick you in the grill!"
*[[Strong Sad]] mentions a jelly [[donut]].
*Strong Bad says "Strong Mad ate it" as an excuse. This is a reference to the [[Email Processing Room]].


===Real-World References===
*Homestar's mask is the same style as the masks worn by [[Wikipedia:Snifit|Snifit]]s in the [[Nintendo#Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] game ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 2|Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.
*[[Wikipedia:David Lynch|David Lynch]] and [[Wikipedia:Federico Fellini|Federico Fellini]], as referenced by Strong Sad, are filmmakers known for bizarre imagery.
*[[Wikipedia:Steve Buscemi|Steve Buscemi]], also referenced by Strong Sad, is primarily known as a character actor who has appeared in such films as ''[[IMDB:tt0105236|Reservoir Dogs]]'', ''[[The Big Lebowski]]'', ''[[IMDB:tt0116282|Fargo]]'', and ''[[IMDB:tt0162346|Ghost World]]'' but has also directed quirky, independent films such as ''[[IMDB:tt0117958|Trees Lounge]]'' and ''[[IMDB:tt0385056|Lonesome Jim]]''.
*The music playing during Strong Sad's storyboard seems to be taken from the intro to [[Wikipedia:U2|U2]]'s song "[[Wikipedia:So Cruel|So Cruel]]".
*''[[Wikipedia:Pilotwings|Pilotwings]]'' is a [[Wikipedia:Flight simulator|flight simulation game]] and one of the first [[Nintendo#Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)|SNES]] games made.
*''Jellyfish Reflector'' is the name of [[Wikipedia:Guided by Voices|Guided by Voices]]' 1996 live album.

===Fast Forward===
*As the last scene claimed, the 150th email ([[alternate universe]]) was released the following week. In an [[alternate universe#Easter eggs|Easter egg]], the Coach Z storyboard scene is played out with similar music to the music used during the storyboards.
*Though not all his storyboards are used in the 150th email, Strong Bad does accept Strong Sad's help in playing guitar for the email's intro song. The music is a variation on the piano ballad played during the storyboards.
*The word sesquicentenn-email was used by Strong Bad in the 150th email during the number one jam.

== DVD Version ==
*Not counting [[Museum]] content or [[Secret Pages]], this is the first toon to go through a drastic name change for DVD. The DVD title of the toon is "Sbemail 149.5".
*The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MIKE:''' This one, like the, uh, the hundred— the hundredth email, didn't we take a week in between the 99th and the hundredth?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I think so. We needed time to gear up for that stuff. ''{pause}'' We still probably did it in two days.

'''MIKE:''' Right.

'''MATT:''' And just didn't sleep at all. ''{laughing}'' But we had to take the...

'''MIKE:''' It's like how, whenever I get a call that I'm due for a dentist appointment, I need like a week of prep time. ''{Matt laughs}'' And so they're like, "Oh, we've got an opening tomorrow and you're due." And I'm like—

'''MATT:''' "No, no, no."

'''MIKE:''' "Oh, no, that's no good for me. How 'bout next week?" And that's— that's fine, then.

'''MATT:''' Uh, didn't— we had an email idea a long time ago, that was gonna be storyboards.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' This was kinda using that idea. Um, I s— I think that Strong Sad's way into storyboards. ''{pause}'' Umm, that's gross. That's very gross. Which you end up getting to see, right? In the— As an Easter egg in the 150th...

'''MIKE:''' In the 150th, yeah. I, um, had a kewpie doll in college that I covered with, uh, eyeballs.

'''MATT:''' Did you?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think just the head, I covered with little miniature googly eyes.

'''MATT:''' Our friend, Dave, made our friend, Adam, this, uh, thing out of a fake pear, where you put, like, action figure arms and a head on this fake pear. It's kinda creepy.

''{The storyboard showing a jelly donut with Strong Bad's reflection appears on screen}''

'''MIKE:''' I don't know why we didn't make ''that'' real Easter egg.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' We could go to Dunkin' Donuts and buy a few jelly— jelly donuts to...

'''MATT:''' Oh, Pilotwings! What else? Pilotwings, ActRaiser, Super Bomberman.

'''MIKE:''' Super Contra.

'''MATT:''' Super Contra. Don't bother. All up in yo' grill.

===Fun Facts===
*The video game titles [[Wikipedia:Pilotwings|Pilotwings]], [[Wikipedia:ActRaiser|ActRaiser]], [[Wikipedia:Super Bomberman|Super Bomberman]], and [[Wikipedia:Super Contra|Super Contra]] are all things Strong Bad has [[Couch Mumbling|mumbled while on the couch]].

[[Category:Shorts]][[Category:Not Quite Strong Bad Emails]]

Category talk:Running Gags

2009-07-25T05:14:38Z

Smashogun:

This should be merged with the "Inside Jokes" category.

:Actually, these were branched off from the Inside Jokes category.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:25, 1 Jan 2005 (MST)

What, exactly, is the difference between an "Inside Joke" and a "Running Gag?" Or rather, what's the wiki's decided definition of them? Just for future knowledge, y'know. -- [[User:Queenie-C|Queenie-C]]

A running gag is an ongoing joke whose humour is primarily derived from its repetition. The Cheats Head exploding is the best example of this. The best example of an inside joke is [[Lemke]] because quite frankly even with TBC explanation it really is only funny to TBC. I really take issue with something like [[The S is for Sucks]] being an "inside joke" because it really raises the question of "Who is inside/outside?" If the delineation lies between hardcore HSR fans and casual fans, that is not good enough for me. Everything on the site is an inside joke to someone who hasn’t watched it yet. I'm still not sure how to categorize articles like [[Batman]] which do a great service in tracking multiple references, but strictly are not a running gag or an inside joke. They are kind of meta-articles. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 12:37, 18 Jan 2005 (MST)

== Misnamed Body-parts ==
In the Peasant's Quest game, if you repeatedly use the crank, the game mentions exercising your "Deltoidus Rex" muscles. In the DVD-only cartoon, "Tis True, Pom-Pom, Tis True," Strong Bad claims he broke his "clavicus majorus." Both are examples of messing up the name of a body part (deltoids and clavicles, which are, ironically, both found in the shoulder) by adding the stereotypical Latin suffix "-us" to the end and then adding another latin word. This should be worth mentioning, but I don't know enough about wiki's to do it myself. Anyone wanna lend a hand? Or a boxing glove?

== Kickin' The Cheat ==
I think we need a Kicking The Cheat page. It happened quite a few times if I remember correctly. [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 13:36, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== What? ==

Is it just me, or is saying "what?" something of an inside joke not only for 1936 but also in the modern day? 1936 Homestar says it frequently in Parsnips-a-plenty as well as the ballad for the sneak. His modern day counterpart does as well. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 21:34, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Breaking Homestar's cow lamp. ==

Shouldn't that be a running gag? It happens in [[caper]] and [[garage sale]]

[[User:That crazy DumDe!|That crazy DumDe!]] 23:07, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== "Buy all our playsets and toys!" ==

Isn't this a running gag? It is in all the [[Cheat Commandos]] toons.

[[User:Matt|Matt]] 03:01, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:No, it's really just a slogan or catchphrase. Like 'Gotta Catch 'Em All!' or 'I'm Lovin' It'. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Eggs ==

The eggs are currently listed as an Inside Joke, but without coroborrating evidence (of some specific event triggering an egg* obsession on the part of the Bros. Chaps, or something specific to which they are referring, which appears not to be the case here) it seems to me they ought to be more appropriately a Running Gag; unless we have a page for Character Obsessions of Characters.
cheers, ~hgr.

*Homestar Runner definitely does not have a Stupid Uncle Egg.

I think the difference between a running gag and an inside joke, it that running gags are funny for just the sake of themselves. While inside jokes are funny ether only to the creators, or the most core fans. [[Eggs]] just isn't funny without the context of a stupid uncle of a price tag. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 03:52, 17 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== What about "Douglas"? ==

This has been referenced to (specifically, said randomly) at least three times. On a side note one could also argue a link to Douglas Adams (Privaleges and Strong Sad's Lament)-[[User:RatherAnnoying|RatherAnnoying]]

:See [[:Category:Inside Jokes|Category:Inside Jokes]]. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 21:48, 20 September 2005 (BST)

== Hug a Tree ==

Hugging a tree is a situation that pops up in several places on the website (Strong Sad's Lament, SBEmails). Should that be included here?

:You know what? Gather all the times someone hugged a tree and post them here. If the list is long enough, we'll make a page out of it! {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 06:25, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Not the original poster, but here:

:Army “We'll see if those trees you're always hugging save you when Gordon Lightfoot's creeping round your back stair”
:Strong sad’s lament: Homars evite : “Most (all) of the live acts will be to hug a tree.”
::and “The last time he invited me to something I had to hug a tree”
:Bottom 10: “4. There was this one time I had to hug a tree”
:Hallrunner: It was a bat. It's too high up. You hug a tree. *0 points*
:Peasants quest: Hugging the tree at the hay bale produces a reference to a well-known Byrds song. However, once you do this you seem to get stuck.

personally, I think its crazy most of you don't accept bottom 10 as a direct referance to SSL; the phrasing is identical (had to hug a tree) and homsar is strong sad's homestar afterall. anyways, lots of tree hugging references. I thought there were some instances in relation to marzipan, but none I could find. -sarducci

More argument for this being a running gag: we're always talking about literal tree-hugging here (cept maybe army, hard to tell) rather than the metaphorical tree-hugging hippies might do.

== $7.50 ==

Not that I think it's a running gag now, but I have a feeling it will become one (due to the occurences being relatively close together), so I decided to get it started here. [[User:Gillan The Villain|Gillan The Villain]] 17:26, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

:[[radio]] - "Oh, no need to bow, Fraser. Get up. Rise, my son. And giveth me instead '''$7.50''' with which to buy some buffalo chicken tenders."

:[[bottom 10]] - "Simone, that'll be '''$7.50'''."

::Somebody tried this already and it was deleted. There's simply not enough to warrant an article here. Thanks for putting it here instead of making a page though. That's how these things are supposed to work. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 17:28, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

== Definite Article ==

Shouldn't that be a running gag? I mean, here's the list I have:

The Cheat

The Paper

The Denzel (from bedtime story)

The Teach

The Geddup Noise (maybe)

I think I may have forgot some, but it seems legitamate to me. I mean, The Cheat isn't the only one with the definite "The" in his name. -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|Brightstar Shiner]]

Oh yeah, forgot. One more:

The Homestar Runner (storybook and old-timey) -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|Brightstar Shiner]]

:Go for it, Brightstar. Definite articles seem very common here. - {{User:Kookykman/sig}}

All right, I will then. -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|Brightstar Shiner]]

== Food In Inedible Condition ==

The title needs some work, but basically I'm talking about food that is still in a package, container, etc. making it inedible. 
 
:'''[[Bronco Trolleys]]''' - the orange still has it's peel on
:'''[[Cheat Commandos...O's]]''' - in the picture of the breakfast, the cup contains carmel pieces in their wrappers.
:'''[[bottom 10]]''' - Chocozuma's Revenge has brownies still in their wrappers and pudding still in a cup.

Is this enough for it's own article? - [[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 00:09, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

:I would see if there are any more foods like that and get approval from other people besides me, but I think that's a good idea. Take into account, though, a lot of the KOT's food is inedible. Unless the title is changed, people might get confused.-[[User:Brightstar Shiner|Brightstar Shiner]]

I also found
:'''[http://www.homestarrunner.com/cake.swf 50th Cake]''' - Lemons still have peels

So it brings the count up to four. My new idea for the title: Food in Original Condition- [[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 23:51, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
:I don't know; I only just now figured out what that meant, after going back and reading this section. At first glance I had no idea what it was talking about! I don't have a good suggestion, though. "Foods that need to be unwrapped or peeled..." "Food in peels or containers..." ...no, not exactly. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 00:47, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

== Crapfully yours... ==

I'm a little surprised that we haven't listed signatures like "crapfully yours", "with a lot of crap" etc. and Strong Bad's reactions to these signatures as a running gag yet. It's been seen several times on the site, and it seems that TBC themselves have accepted it as a running gag in that they make jokes about it (e.g., Strong Bad substituting "totally not getting old" in [[do over]]. Does anyone else agree that this should be added? [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] 06:26, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
:I do. On my personal list of things to do, I have this entry: "29. Running gags: Strong Sad's elephant feet, Strong Bad being annoyed with emails signed 'crap'." — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:34, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
::Cool, maybe I can get to work on that soon. I'm not really sure what to call the page, though. '''Signatures with the word "crap"''' comes to mind, but I'm wondering if there's a more succint way to say it. Any ideas? [[User:Heimstern Läufer|Heimstern Läufer]] 06:40, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
:::Well, if you think of something that fits well into the text of a sentence, then of course go with that, but otherwise, Crapfully Yours works for me. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:42, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

== Record Scratch ==
Seriously you guys, this happens in like, every toon. Yeah. So does anyone agree? :[[User:Elvis|Elvis]] 23:06, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
:Yeah that is a pretty popular sound effect, they use anytime there is a sudden change in the action. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 23:13, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

== Holy Crap! ==

"Holy Crap!" has become a running joke on here, as it used to be Strong Bad's catch phrase, and then other characters began using it, sometimes to poke fun at Strong Bad (see [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 4.0]]). Email [[lady...ing]] deliberately pokes fun at SB's gratuitous use of the phrase. So I'm just wondering if anyone else believes we should list these occurrences? {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 00:03, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
:Yes, why ISN'T this a page yet? o_o I mean, it's so common, yeah? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::I dunno. It's common because it's a real-world, everyday phrase. I think [[lady...ing]] is a just special case. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:13, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
:::Well, the MAM I pointed to also seems to specifically poke fun at Strong Bad for using the phrase, but since the phrase is so prevalent on the site, it seems appropriate to document it. I would get the process started, but I don't have time at the moment. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 00:47, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

== Breaking up ==

Anybody think that Homestar and Marzipan breaking up could be considered a Running Gag? It seems be referenced frequently (for example, [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 9.2]] and [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], to name three). Anyone else think this is worth mentioning? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:03, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

That wouldn't be too bad. Although it is already mentioned in the Homestar and Marzipan section of [[Homestar Runner]], go ahead and do it if you want. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 03:05, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
:I was about to kind of vote the opposite: it's an interesting dynamic, and one that deserves tracking in some form, but maybe not an official Running Gag. My hesitence is that a Gag, to me, suggests something that's funny, like in a isolated-instance, make-you-laugh way. Homestar and Marzipan's nebulously-defined relationship is funny in and of itself, always. It's more of a Perpetual Humorous Oddity than a reccuring shtick. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 03:10, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
::You may have a point, Abdi. Still, I'd be curious to know how you'd suggest we document the phenomenon if we don't call it a Running Gag. It seems to me, furthermore, that some of things we already call Running Gags are somewhat similar to this, for example, [[Strong Bad's Technology]]. But then, maybe you think those two are different. Let me know if you have any ideas. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:21, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Both of you guys have a point. Still Heimstern, remember what Bubsty always said: Be '''bold''' with your editing! With articles like [[The Cheat's Smoking]] and [[Pizza]] popping up all over the place, I think that this would make a fine article. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 03:27, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
::::True, but I do like to get feedback on something like page creation. I've thought of something else, though: Marzipan and Homestar breaking up is really only part of the picture. As Abdi suggests, it's really the fact that their relationship is consistently tenuous, even when they're not breaking up (for example, Homestar saying Marzipan's butt looks big or kicking her in the shins and whatnot). So maybe the article should actually cover those aspects of their relationship too. Anyway, I think I will create the article soon, and that I'll call it a Running Gag unless anyone has a better idea. Also, does anyone have any ideas for a better title than "Homestar and Marzipan's Relationship"? That's what I'm coming up with so far. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:41, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
:::::You've started the page by now; that's great. To be clearer, I ''do'' think a page on it would be great; I just wasn't sure it should be included in this category. Emphasis on not sure, though; if there's one thing I hate it's pages never getting seen because they're not mentioned in high-traffic areas or linked in ways that would encourage people to visit them. So take my comment above with a grain of salt; I guess a lot of the Running Gags I wouldn't consider true "running gags," but better in a category than in none. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 04:59, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
::::::No worries; I knew what you meant the first time. And, like you, I do see some problem with calling this a Running Gag, but I'm going to categorize it there for now at least. So, I think we're agreed on that. Perhaps you could propose that we create a category called "Perpetual Humorous Oddity"? :-) Talk atcha later. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:05, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Does this merit a running gag? Or an unused running gag or beheind (intentional) the scenes gag?

===Aftershock===
And now, for the [[:Category:Inside Jokes|inside jokes]]. An old category, even older then Running Gags, is pretty messed up. Some articles there can be re-categorized under the new categories, but what we really need is a defenition on what a running gag or an inside joke is. I think that if we find then too similar, they can be merged. Almost all the items on Inside Jokes can fit in one of the new categories. 
At first, inside jokes were things that TBC put inside cartoons that only they can understand, but as the fan base grew bigger and Homestar became known to more people, interviews were made to answer those questiones. Now that we know what is a source of a joke, is it really an inside joke? And if we don't know, do we know why TBC put all the other stuff on the website? It's to hard to categorize by that, and so I say marge the two categories. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 05:10, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

:I agree with E.L. Cool here. Inside jokes are only running gags that we don't understand. The second an interview shows up with the answer, it pretty much just becomes a regular running gag. It could simply be noted that these "inside jokes" are indeed "inside jokes", but filed as running gags. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 05:16, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

== Issue regarding professionalism ==

Please listen. I know unprofessional names such as "word running gags" were more than likely added to give the wiki a Homestar Runner-like atmosphere, but it just sounds stupid to be blatant about this. Rather than using categories with bad grammar, why not add "-related"? ("word-related running gags," for instance?). And please-oh-please don't remind me that I am one person and not a committee, thus I'm completely unimportant ''again''. I already know. Please think about what I have to say here, it is good advice. {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}
:Actually, I kinda agree. "whatever-related running gag" does sound better than without the "-related". At the very least, it's grammatical... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:I can't help but agree also. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 07:21, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

::Awesome. I can't believe we've got this far without some guy coming and making up the lamest excuse on earth as to why it ''shouldn't'' be grammatical. {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}
:::Please, ''please'' stop insulting us at every turn. I have lost count of the number of times we've asked you to put things positively. As you should be able to see from the section above, there was no intent other than to be as professional as possible with these subcategories. All you had to say was "You know, if we add '-related' to each of these, it might make more sense grammatically." That would have been just fine. Instead, I have to waste time with this post when I could have just echoed Dorian and Qermaq. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:10, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

::::Sorry, dude, that just seems to happen to me quite often and I was probably really PO'ed when I wrote that or something. {{User:Darth Katana X/sig}}

==Excessively Long Product Names==

Wasn't there a category for "Attempt-at-competing-with-national-coffee-chain-brands-mocha-chip-meltshake"?

==Standing on stooly==

Strong Bad standing on the stool is a big running gag. It should be on the list.

==Transcript==

''{A view of Strong Bad from behind, sitting in his basement typing at the Corpy on a folding table}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Checking emails at home from your worrrrk computer, ''{the view shifts to a closeup of the screen}'' it's kinda like playing first person shooters with your girlfriend. It kinda ruins them booooth.

<blockquote class="corpy email" style="border:#ddd;border-bottom:#ccc;">
Dear Strong Bad, 
my brother had a friend over today and he drove 
me crazy!! What should I do about it? 
 
Crudfully, Henry Wisner WI
<div style="border:none;background:#08089c"></div>
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Dear Strong Bad" as "Dear. Streer. Beer." He reads the closing as a question, as though he's not believing what he's reading, and says "Wisconsin" in place of "WI".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Crudfully? Really? What, was your mom sitting over your shoulder when you typed this email? And is your mom the kind of lady that wont let you type the word 'crap'? Don't get me wrong, I still woulda made fun of you if you ''had'' typed 'crapfully', I prolly would have just left your moms out of it. ''{clear screen}'' So, your bro's fro drove you cro? I don't really have that problem. On account of my brothers are galactically incapable of friend-have. Although when we were kids, Strong Sad had this ''imaginary'' friend that annoyed the crud outta me. Of course, this was back before insane parents made imaginary friends illegal for kids to have. Strong Sad invented him one time when we ''{cut to a view of an attic hatch. The hatch is being knocked at from inside}'' locked him in the attic.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' You know we don't have an attic!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, when we stuffed him in the air vent.

''{The attic hatch transforms into an air vent. Strong Sad's fingers are wiggling through a gap.}

'''STRONG SAD:''' You know we don't have an...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{interrupting}'' Fine. When we taped him to the ceiling.

''{The air vent transforms into Lil' Strong Sad, in a purple shirt with a bandage over his belly button, stuck to the ceiling with pink tape. Pan down to Lil' Strong Bad}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' That'll teach you to stand and blink. Now stay up there until that Bubble Tape gives out and you fall into my open faced booby trap!

''{Pan down again to reveal a piece of bread on a blue plate with two pickle slices}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' ''{quickly}'' We're out of ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise.

''{cut to Lil' Strong Sad, who is smiling}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Ohoho! You're right! My brother does look like a big circle with two smaller circles ''{cut to a top shot of Lil' Strong Bad}'' on top of another circle from up here!

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks up}'' Hey! Shut up! Who're you talkin' to?

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Just my new best-also-bubble-taped-to-the-ceiling friend, Scotty Titi!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Corpy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' THAT's just half the reason imaginary friends are illegal now! Kid's always give them the creepiest possible names. ''{cut to the King of Town, and a cut out-like image with a top hat}'' Rubby Plop-Plop, ''{cut to Homestar and like image of a person}'' Sir Zabblepants, and ''{cut to Bubs and like rabbit-shaped image}'' Dingy Donger, ''{cut to Coach Z and like image of a man, shaking slightly}'' Real Live Actual Mr Blangcaster Next Door.

''{The cut-out image raises his arm. Cut to Lil' Strong Bad at the stick. The stick has a leaf, and Strong Bad is drilling a brick}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So, anyway, Strong Bad   and Scotty Titi were always annoying the crap out of us.

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Ahahaha! ''{pan left to show Lil' Strong Sad}'' That's a good one!

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Hey! Shut it up! What are you guys doing over there?

''{Cut to close up of Lil' Strong Sad}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Oh. Scotty Titi and I were just attaching indefinite articles, and he jokingly used "a" before a vowel sound! ''{holds stomach with both hands, making dodgeball-like sound effect}'' Ohohoho!

''{Cut to close up of Lil' Strong Bad}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' I'll attach this ''{raises brick}'' indefinite brick to Scotty Titi's face!

''{Cut to wide shot as Lil' Strong Bad throws brick at Lil' Strong Sad, which lands harmlessly on the ground.}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Nice reflexes, Scotty!

''{Screen dims}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I say he annoyed us, but it was really just me.

''{Cut to the door to Strong Mad's room. A loud smacking noise is heard from within, causing the whole house to shake.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Strong Mad was going through some... ahem... changes in those days.

''{Cut to Teen Strong Mad in his room, punching a Trogdor-Blacklight poster that reads "PUBERTY". He has acne, facial hair, curly hair and large glasses.}''

'''TEEN STRONG MAD:''' ''{voice breaking}'' GIRLS ARE CONFUSING!

''{Screen dims}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So, it was all up to me. First I tried to render Scotty Titi obsolete as an imaginary friend...

''{Cut to Lil' Strong Sad sitting in front of the couch in the basement with copies of ''Time'' magazine on the floor.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...by exposing him as a realginary friend. ''{As he says this, Lil' Strong Bad pops out from being the couch with a sack of "Fat Dumb White Flour"}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Aha! ''{empties flour onto floor; Lil' Strong Sad looks surprised momentarily and Lil' Strong Bad starts looking inside the now empty sack}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I used to get imaginary and invisible mixed up a lot as a kid.

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Oh, thanks big brother, I've always wanted to pit my skills ''{pats belly}'' against a pile of cake flour!

''{screen dims}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But of course, at one point, I tried to... ''{cut to Lil' Strong Bad facing away from the screen, slowly zooming in}'' Titi. On Scotty Titi.

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Oh no! My new boots!

''{cut back to Strong Bad at the Corpy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I finally had no recourse but to fight imaginary fire with imaginary fire. So after drinking three gallons of blue drink, I made up my own imaginary friend so they could fight to the imaginary death!

''{cut to Lil' Strong Bad with purple liquid around his mouth. Two empty bottles of Blue Drink are visible.}

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Hey! Scotty Titi! I'd like you to meet my new friend, Frishy Freshy Dragonman!

''{The two imaginary friends appear; Frishy Freshy Dragonman is half-dragon half-man and Scotty Titi is a lump wearing a hat}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Scotty, look out!

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Wait. ''{cut to Lil' Strong Bad and Lil' Strong Sad}'' Scotty Titi is just a lump? ''{cut to Scotty}'' A mound? ''{cut to closeup of Scotty}'' A pile?

''{Cut to Lil' Strong Sad}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' ''{shrugs}'' Pretty much.

''{Cut to the two imaginary friends. Frishy Freshy Dragonman burninates Scotty Titi.}''

'''FRISHY FRESHY DRAGONMAN:''' Can I go now?

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, you're done.

''{Frishy Freshy disappears with a poof}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Corpy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Ya still there, Crudkid? I don't know if your mom let you watch this far into the email or not. Anyways, I'm not suggesting you breathe fire on your brother's friend, you know. I'm suggesting you duct tape him to the ceiling. Your realginary pal, Strong Bad. Or, ''{deletes back to the start of Your realginary...}'' Your imaginary pal, Pumpy Clumpy.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*A [[Wikipedia:First-person shooter|first-person shooter]] is a video game genre which centers the gameplay around gun or projectile weapon-based combat through the first person perspective.

===Remarks===
*The events in this sbemail probably happened soon after the events in [[origins]], considering the bandage on Strong Sad's belly button, and Strong Bad playing with his drill.
*[[The Stick]] in this email has a solitary leaf on account of being younger.
*Strong Bad remarks that his brothers are incapable of having friends. However, he should know that Strong Mad and The Cheat are best friends, as well as Strong Sad being friends with [[Homsar]] and [[Marzipan]].
*The [[Corpy NT6]] is assumed to be a all-in-one computer, and yet there appears to be a [[Datum Center computer]] attached to it, as if the Corpy NT6 was actually a separate computer tower and monitor. ''(See Inside References)''

===Goofs===
[[Image:ghoust_image.PNG|thumb|200px|Ghost photography]]
*During the scene where Lil' Strong Bad is drilling hole in the brick, Strong Bad says "So, anyway, Strong ''Bad'' and Scotty Titi..." rather than "Strong ''Sad'' and Scotty Titi..."

===Fixed Goofs===
*When this email was released, a very faint outline of Strong Bad's face would be visible when the screen fades after Strong Bad throws a brick.

===Inside References===
*The computer console Strong Bad uses is one of the Datum Center computers as seen in [[isp]]. The monitor itself is the Corpy NT6. ''(See Remarks)''
*Strong Bad's comments about "Crudfully yours" are related to emails that usually end with [[Crapfully Yours]].
*Teenage Strong Mad looks very similar to how he did in Strong Bad's "doodle memory" in [[highschool]].
*Lil' Strong Bad's imaginary friend looks similar to the "Dragon-Man" drawing of [[Trogdor]] in the email [[dragon]].
*The flowery wallpaper is the same as the wallpaper of 1987 as seen in the email [[no loafing]].
*When Frishy Freshy Dragonman disappears, he makes the same wheezing sound as [[Sickly Sam]] whenever he disappears.
*"Blue drink" is an example of a [[Nondescript Nouns|nondescript noun]].
*The bandage on Strong Sad's belly button is a reference to [[origins]], when Strong Bad hints at the fact that he drilled Strong Sad's belly button when they were much younger.

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Bubble Tape|Bubble Tape]] is a brand of bubble gum that comes in 6 foot long rolls.
*The rabbit shaped imaginary friend standing next to Bubs is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Harvey (play)|''Harvey'']], a play and movie about a man who insists that he has a 6 foot invisible rabbit named Harvey as a friend.
*''[[Wikipedia:Time (magazine)|Time]]'' is an American newsmagazine created in 1923 by Briton Hadden and Henry Luce, making it the first weekly news magazine in the United States. It inspired the board game that Strong Bad and Scotty Titi are playing in the email, which Strong Sad erroneously refers to as "Time Magazine: The Game" (the game's title was actually "Time: The Game").
*[[Wikipedia:Richard Nixon|Richard Nixon]] was 37th [[President]] of the United States of America. [[Wikipedia:Spiro Agnew|Spiro Agnew]] was Nixon's first Vice President.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading}'' ''{says Dear Strong Bad as Dear. Strir. Bir.}'' ''{typing}'' Crudfully? Really? What, was your mom sitting over your shoulder when you typed this email? And is your mom the kind of lady that wont let you type the word 'crap'? Don't get me wrong, I still woulda made fun of you if you ''had'' typed 'crapfully', I prolly would have just left your moms out of it. ''{clear screen}'' So, your bro's fro drove you cro? I don't really have that problem. On account of my brothers are galactically incapable of friend-have. Although when we were kids, Strong Sad had this ''imaginary'' friend that annoyed the crud outta me. Of course, this was back before ''insane'' parents made imaginary friends illegal for kids to have. Strong Sad invented him one time when we ''{cut to a view of an attic hatch}'' locked him in the attic ''{the hatch is pulsing}''.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' You know we don't have an attic!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, when we stuffed him in the air vent. ''{the attic hatch transforms into an air vent. Strong Sad's hand is visible}

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{finger waggles through gap in the air vent}'' You know we don't have an...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{interrupting}'' Fine. When we taped him to the ceiling. ''{the air vent transforms into Young Strong Sad, in a purple shirt with a bandage over his belly button, stuck to the ceiling with pink tape}'' ''{camera pans down}''

'''YOUNG STRONG BAD:''' That'l teach you to stand and blink. Now stay up there until that bubble tape gives out and you fall into my open faced booby trap! ''{camera pans down again to reveal a piece of bread on a blue plate with two pickle slices}'' ''{quickly}'' We're out of ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise.

'''YOUNG STRONG SAD:''' ''{laughing}'' Ohoho! You're right! My brother does look like a big circle with two smaller circles ''{camera shows a top shot of Young Strong Bad}'' on top of another circle from up here!

'''YOUNG STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks up}'' Hey! Shut up! Who're you talkin' to?

'''YOUNG STRONG SAD:''' Just my new best-also-bubble-taped-to-the-ceiling friend, Scotty Titi!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' THAT's just half the reason imaginary friends are illegal now! Kid's always give them the creepiest possible names. ''{cut to the King of Town, and a cut out-like image}'' Rubby Plop-Plop, ''{cut to Homestar and like image}'' Sir Zabblepants, and ''{cut to Bubs}'' Dingy Donger, ''{cut to Coach Z}'' Real Live Actual Mr Blangcaster Next Door. ''{cut to Young Strong Bad at the stick. The stick has a leaf, and Strong Bad is drilling a brick}'' So, anyway, Strong Sad and his annoying Titi were always annoying the crap out of us.

'''YOUNG STRONG SAD:''' ''{laughing}'' Ahahaha! That's a good one!

'''YOUNG STRONG BAD:''' Hey! Shut it up! What are you guys doing over there?

'''YOUNG STRONG SAD:''' Oh. Scotty Titi and I were just attaching indefinite articles, and he jokingly used "a" before a vowel sound! ''{laughing}'' Ohohoho!

'''YOUNG STRONG BAD:''' I'll attach this indefinite brick to Scotty Titi's face! ''{throws brick, it lands on the ground}''

'''YOUNG STRONG SAD:''' Nice reflexes, Scotty!

'''YOUNG STRONG BAD:''' I say he annoyed us, but it was really just me. Strong Mad was going through some uh... changes. ''{shows Young Strong Mad, punching a Trogdor-Blacklight poster that reads "PUBERTY"}''

'''YOUNG STRONG MAD:''' ''{voice breaking}'' GIRLS ARE CONFUSING!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So, it was all up to me. First I tried to render Scotty Titi obsolete as an imaginary friend by exposing him as a realginary friend. ''{Young Strong Bad pours out some "Fat Dumb White Flour"}'' I used to get imaginary and invisible mixed up a lot as a kid.

'''YOUNG STRONG SAD:''' Oh, thanks big brother, I've always wanted to pit my skills against a pile of cake flour!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But of course, at one point, I tried to... Titi. On Scotty Titi.

'''YOUNG STRONG BAD:''' Oh no! My new boots!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I finally had no recourse but to fight imaginary fire with imaginary fire. So after drinking three gallons of blue drink, I made up my own imaginary friend so they could fight to the imaginary death!

'''YOUNG STRONG BAD:''' Hey! Scotty Titi! I'd like you to meet my new friend, Frishy Freshy Dragonman! ''{the 2 imaginary friends appear; a dragon-man and a lump}''

'''YOUNG STRONG SAD:''' Scotty, look out!

'''YOUNG STRONG BAD:''' Wait. Scotty Titi is just a lump? A mound? A pile?

'''YOUNG STRONG SAD:''' ''{shrugs}'' Pretty much.

''{Frishy Freshy Dragonman incinerates Scotty Titi}''

'''FRISHY FRESHY DRAGONMAN:''' Can I go now?

'''YOUNG STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, you're done.

''{Frishy Freshy disappears with a poof}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Ya still there, Crudkid? I don't know if your mom let you watch this far into the email or not. Anyways, I'm not suggesting you breathe fire on your brother's friend, you know. I'm suggesting you duct tape him to the ceiling. Your realginary pal, Strong Bad. Or, ''{deletes back to the start of Your realginary...}'' Your imaginary pal, Pumpy Clumpy.

''{The Letter Paper comes down}''

==Easter Eggs==
* Click on "duct tape him to the ceiling" when the email is done to see a scene between Lil' Strong Sad and Scotty Titi.
:'''YOUNG STRONG SAD:''' Spiro Agnew's favorite slacks! That's right! You're so good at Time Magazine: The Game, Scotty!
*Click on "TIME" on the newspaper to see what they're answering.
*Click on "Pumpy Clumpy" when the email is done to see an outline drawing of Pumpy Clumpy.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===

*A first-person shooter is a video game genre which centers the gameplay around gun- or projectile weapon-based combat through the first person perspective.

===Trivia===
*The computer console Strong Bad uses is one of those seen at Bubs' Datum Center in [[isp]].

===Remarks===
*The events in this sbemail probably happened soon after the events in [[origins]], considering the bandage on Strong Sad's belly button, and Strong Bad playing with his drill.
*This is the first appearance of the [[Letter Paper]].
*This is the first appearance of [[Little Strong Mad]].
*[[The Stick]] in this email has a solitary leaf on account of being younger.

===Goofs===
[[Image:ghoust_image.PNG|thumb|200px|Strong Bad's face]]
*When the screen fades after Strong Bad throws a brick, we can see the outline of his face, as though he's at his screen.
*When Strong Bad is drilling holes into the brick, there are no visible holes.

===Inside References===
*Teenage Strong Mad looks very similar to how he did in Strong Bad's "doodle memory" in [[highschool]].
*Lil' Strong Bad's imaginary friend looks similar to the "Dragon-Man" drawing of [[Trogdor]] in the email [[dragon]].
*The flowery wallpaper is the same as the wallpaper of 1987 as seen in the email [[no loafing]].

== Perhaps... ==

Perhaps someone should list what he has sold at his store over the years, the only one I remember is "Chocolate covered flame throwers that shoot out 1 hundred dollar bills", but that's all I remember. I'm sure there's more though.--[[User:Gamingboy|Gamingboy]] 07:50, 11 Nov 2004 (MST)

:I remember 3 things, and I'm really sketchy on this...but it doesn't look like the Bubs fans are interested ;)
:*Flamethrowers that shoot chocolate hundred dollar bills (imitation chocolate!)
:*something to The Cheat for a form of fake currency
:*An ubercheap lunch special consisting of scraps --[[User:Southpaw018|Southpaw018]] 20:34, 13 Nov 2004

This does sound worthwhile to list, but should probably belong over at [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. I'm gonna start putting a list together and maybe add it over there. BTW, The Cheat had bought some kind of hobby kit with pencil shavings.
--[[User:BaconSandwich|BaconSandwich]] 18:38, 7 Feb 2005 (MST)

I somehow remember Snow Cones, a Pancreas, and 4 Cool Drinks for 4 Cool guys.Look at a Thig in a Bag, --[[User:Gir007|Gir007]] 00:24, 13 February 2006 (UTC)Zaak

Don't forget several chairs and a box of 'Chick'n Beaks'.... [[User:Enigma|Enigma]] 13:08, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

There was beatings for 5 dollars in the sbemail pom pom. [[User:DrPepper42|DrPepper42]] 23:59, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Bubs also sold Strong Bad a "broken piece of an old pot" in SBCG4AP episode 2.

== Glitchy ==

"Glitchy Bubs"? Is that ''really'' required? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]] 17:02, 19 Nov 2004

== 20X6 Bubs... ==

Are Greggo and Chorch from the ''Stinkoman 20X6'' game possibly 20X6 versions of Bubs? The "teeth" on those two enemies vaguely remind me of Bubs. It's not much to go on, but we haven't yet seen any other variant of Bubs in 20X6, and I don't know why they'd put teeth on the robots if they weren't implying a connection.

:I doubt it. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''

It's possible, just kind of Unlikely..no offense--[[User:Gir007|Gir007]] 21:16, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

:I know that it's like, a year and almost three months since (I can't spell that word) this discussion ended, but I just realized something. If [[20X6 Coach Z]] is the main villain of Stinkoman 20X6, then isn't it possible, since (I still can't spell that word) Coach Z is always hanging out with Bubs, that Greggo and Chorch ''could'' be 20X6 versions of Bubs working for 20X6 Coach Z? --[[User:Homsar Lover|Homsar Lover]]

==Bub's Last Name ==
Should it be considered Canon that Bubs's last name is "Concession Stand"?

:I'd say yes, and in fact, it was added to this page just after you asked. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:54, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Wouldn't "Concession" be his middle name? —<tt>[[User:woddfellow2|woddfellow2]]|[[User talk:woddfellow2|✎]]</tt> 01:47, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:: But does it need to be his "apparent" last name? Sure, Bubs may be a bit of an unscrupulous businessman, but why would he lie about his own name? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:40, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::Why WOULDN'T he lie about his last name -- especially if he IS an unscrupulous business man? --[[User:Wkelly42|Wkelly42]] 23:45, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It's just a commercial, and the [[Senorial Day]] page states "If Bubs can be trusted, then we learn his full name is 'Bubs Concession Stand'". Also, I want to keep this Wiki's [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]]. --[[User:Trogga|TROGGA!]] 23:43, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:I don't like the phrasing "apparent last name." I changed it to "Full name: Bubs C. Stand, as he claims in Senorial Day". Hopefully this will satisfy all. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 00:09, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Shark-Tooth Bubs ==

A new section about Shark-Tooth Bubs is in need of writing. A screen shot would be nice, too. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 16:42, 1 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:You can check out the [[Shark-Tooth Bubs|new article]] I created for him. I know there are improvements to be made. Do you think we still need a section on this page now that there's an article? {{User:The Paper/sig}} 21:29, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Made or paid?==

Excuse me for being picky, but I always thought he was saying "I'm a self-''paid'' man I am I am." Not "Self-''Made.''" Anyone agree? {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 04:32, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:I'm positive he's saying "I'm a self made man."--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 13:54, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:k whatev. --{{User:Bubsty/sig}} 16:42, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Actually, I agree with Bubsty. I think he said "I'm a self-paid man". Obey.OBEY.OBEY THE CRAB!--[[User:Gir007|Gir007]] 00:29, 13 February 2006 (UTC)Zaak

rathergood post gir007--[[User:Valf|Valf]] 00:12, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

:I just re-listened, it's pretty clearly "made" here. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:17, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

== Virus Bubs ==

Remember in Bubs in the Sb Email "Virus"? "I'm Sorry Strong Bad, but my Mouth was a broken tape player. I had no choice!" He was also holding Homestar's Left leg and near the end, after he shot the Compy with a Shotgun, Homestar asked for his leg back when it was clearly visible.Homestar's an idiot.But he's Marzipan's idiot.So were all safe.--[[User:Gir007|Gir007]] 00:27, 13 February 2006 (UTC)Zaak

Huh?--[[User:Jnelson09|Jnelson09]] 19:42, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

:He said a broken jpeg.

==Up close and personal==
[[Image:Buhhubs.jpg|thumb|Pretty close]]
You'd think being that close his skin would have more variations. Just an observation. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 02:35, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

== Duck Guardian? ==

Is it just me or does that alien at the end look like Bubs? [[User:Stongbah|Stongbah]] 17:07, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
:[[Image:Duck_Guardian_winscreen.png|thumb|Bubs Alien?]] The head and body color are the same, but they don't look the same. [[User:Maggot Man|Maggot Man]] ''([[User talk:Maggot Man|talk]]) 17:24, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
::Well, his eyes do resemble Bubs' little eye.... [[User:Enigma|Enigma]] 13:09, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

== Domicle ==
Shouldn't Bubs' Domicle be the Stand? Just a thought, but it seems Bubs must live there, too, seeing he hardly goes anywhere else but there.
:We don't make stuff up, though. There's no evidence he lives there. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:53, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
:Actually, I've been thinking this, too. (I know this discussion was a while ago!) But, Qermag is right, it's just fan assuming. [[User:DrPepper42|DrPepper42]] 00:04, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

== Bubs' head ==

Has anybody ever noticed that Bubs' head looks very similar to the [[Newbury Comics]] logo? Just a thought... [[User:Zero.exe|Zero.exe]] 00:55, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

== Thnikkaman? ==

Just a thought... The thnikkaman isn't necessarily Bubs. This has never been conclusively proven, and bubs has never been suspected of being the thnikkaman by any of the major characters. What if it's homsar? We've all seen his disguise ability in [[impression]].
[[User:The Big Eye|The Big Eye]] 23:23, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
:Um, no. It's been pretty obvious since day one that Bubs is the Thnikkaman. As for Homsar, he can't change his voice to sound exactly like Bubs, even if he could make himself look exactly like him. [[User:Zero.exe|Zero.exe]] 16:56, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
::Well, he ''hasn't yet been observed to be able to'' imitate anyone's voice, to be technical. Still, any assumption beyond the obvious evidence is patent speculation. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 10:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Well,there's a possibility it's Strong bad,as he perfectly pulled of Homestar and made a perfect him coustume(Albit in a "Da Bee" costume) in Pumpkin carve-nival.

In the first Easter egg found in cliffhangers (Strong Bad E-mail 158), Bubs seemed awfully annoyed when Coach Z "accused" himself of being the Thnikkaman. Well, if Bubs weren't the Thnikkaman, then why would he have been so defensive? Yes, Bubs might have shown annoyance regardless, but probably in a less defensive manner if he weren't the Thnikkaman (or so I think). {{User:Garnet Jell-o/sig}} 16:19, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Bubs can't possibly be the Thnikkaman. He doesn't have anything written on his chest, and he doesn't wear any type of glasses. If I were Bubs, and Coach Z said that he was the Thnikkaman, I'd get defensive too. Who wouldn't? The Thnikkaman is just too cool for Coach Z. [[User:70.48.130.2|70.48.130.2]] 18:24, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I'd say he's definitely he's the Thnikkaman, even if there is no concrete evidence. It seems that the other guys are just A. stupid or B. blinded by the T-Man's coolness.
[[User:Enigma|Enigma]] 13:34, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

It doesn't have to be Bubs, it could be anyone, Strong Bad and the Goblin pulled off perfect disguises and voice imitations as Homestar (Angus Young?) and SB (the bee) respectively, why shouldn't other characters be able to do this?

==You make less sense all the time, Bubsy==
After reviewing Bubs in the sbemail [[the chair]], I think it would be cool if there was a page dedicated to how Bubs talks (we've already got great ones dedicated to Homsar and Coach Z) and some of his strange vocabulary. There was a great analysis of Homsar's "word salads." Any guesses on what condition Bubs might have (other than "strange old man")? [[User:Cyndentia|Cyndentia]]
:I wouldn't say he's a "strange old man" (that's the KOT's job), but I agree. He does have a rather....''obscure'' vocabulary. He's probably just a bit "messed in the head" like Coach Z (anging out with him must be bad for your health). [[User:Enigma|Enigma]] 13:38, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
::First of all, as that article concluded, Homsar does '''''NOT''''' speak in word salads. Secondly, ALL the characters on the site are "messed in the head". [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 13:44, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
:::Even Pom Pom? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 20:08, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

:: I think his sanity at least deserves a paragraph in his description. I could write it if you agree. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 16:17, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
== Bubs' Voice ==

Is Bubs supposed to sound black?
:Well, Matt's said that Bubs is basically his best attempt at a Redd Foxx impersonation... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Isn't the way bubs is portrayed a bit racist? He's always willing to "stick it to the man" and the thnikkaman is a shaft-type hero. Other things collaborate this. [[User:70.237.47.94|70.237.47.94]] 20:16, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
:Who would it be racist against? Blue-headed people? Dancers? Concession stand owners? Could you be more specific? {{User:TotalSpaceshipGuy3/sig}} 20:18, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Yea, BLACK PEOPLE. [[User:70.237.47.94|70.237.47.94]] 10:43, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
:Bubs is blue, orange and green. He's not black, and he doesn't really act like a black American stereotype. How is his portrayal racist? {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 11:03, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
::Ihere's really no attribute of Bubs that I can exclusively pin to one ethnicity or racial background. I think the oversensitive would certainly have cause to invent offense, sure. I am also rather confident no real offense is given, as Bubs happens to be among the smartest of the lot. If one were to make a character as a racial insult, one would not then make that character about the smartest of all of them. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 14:31, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
:::I have never personally thought that Bubs was supposed to be black, anyway. I just think of him as some funny weird store-owner who helps and/or annoys the other characters. Nothing remotely racist about that. Plus, if they meant it that way, they would've made him say "Y'all come back now, ya hear?" and stuff like that. -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 14:37, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
::::Even if he was 'black' I can't see that it would be racist. First, I reject the idea that all members of all minorities (Something Bubs, a fat, eccentric orange and blue cartoon man with one eye bigger than the other isn't depicted as visually at the very least) have to be portrayed in a positive light. Besides this other characters are often portrayed as being eccentric, stupid or heavily intertwined with areas of popular culture, (Coach Z's love of rap, Strongbad with a mexican accent and wrestling mask, Marzipan's links to the hippy movement etc.) meaning and that any lampoon is fairly universal. This means any attempt to make a stab at black people in general would have to be entirely intentional in this case. As the Brother Chaps have never made any noise about being against black people or other minorities in general that's a fairly strong accusation. [[User:82.69.88.21|82.69.88.21]] 05:34, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
:::::They appeared to play on the impression of Bubs as black in one scene (don't remember where from); Coach Z is going on interminably about scary urban legends (the joke is they're the sort of things a clueless crypto-racist would panic over), and Bubs just looks increasingly chagrined. But they don't appear to have made much more of it than a schtick. Like most of the cast of Homestar Runner, Bubs' schtick has relatively little to do with his character, which (I think) is about the smiley contempt he shows toward his customers. In a lot of ways, the Chaps seem to make him archetypal of commerce itself. Given the degree of quirk separating other characters' schticks from their themes and concepts (cf. Coach Z, whose regional accent has nothing to do with being a hopeless old dork), I think it's fair to conclude that even if Bubs were explicitly conceived of as using a black dialect, that would not necessarily imply a comment on Afro-Americans.
:::::: I always thought Bubs was supposed to be black, but I never really thought it was racist. As for Coach Z, well, he seems to be a white person wishing to be black. [[rapsong|"It's gonna rocket straight to the bottom of the BET charts!"]]
:::::::I think that TBC indirectly made it that way. The Chapmans want characters to have a voice that compliments their appearence. If he speaks in a gravvelly, deep voice, then yes, someone may envision him as a man of a darker persusion. If I envisioned Bubs as human, yes I would see him as a tall, darker man, but it is not from his actions, but from his voice. Even I, the one who is sensitive to all forms of predjudice, do not find offense in Bubs' voice. He is smart and is doing well for himself, and though he is overwieht and slightly insane, he is still a very successful part of the Dumb Animal Characters. If anything, Strong Bad and Coach Z stereotypes, which I don't beleive in, are the worst part of the show. All in all, Bubs is cool, and until I see him stab some people or do something VERY illegal, I don't see any racism. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 16:12, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

== The Baloneyman ==

Since he has his own short with the same name, should the baloneyman count as a variation of Bubs, and be added to the variation section? --[[User:The Vector Kid|TVK]]
:No, since it actually IS bubs, just selling sammiches. Also, if you put 4 tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>), it'll sign with your name and a timestamp, like so: {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 07:32, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

{{Comp|Lappy 486}}

'''Date:''' Tuesday, June 30, 2009

'''Running Time:''' 5:04

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==
''{Homestar is sitting at his hremail desk. He has bags under his eyes and is slouching. He slips further and further down over the next line.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{half-mumbling}'' And that, Gordon Titanamonderous, is why I decided to ''keep'' calling you Gordon Titanamonderous...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{from off-screen}'' Aaah! I can't take this no more!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, screaming.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Somebody hand me a rake!

''{A rake is handed to Strong Bad. He grabs it and smacks Homestar with it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Raaaake!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dropping the rake}'' Somebody hand me a shovel!

''{A shovel is handed to him. He smacks Homestar with it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Shovel!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dropping the shovel}'' Somebody hand me a Garden Weasel!

''{A tool with a very spiky end is handed to Strong Bad. Again, he hits Homestar. Homestar comes back up with a "CENSORED" sign over his face; bruises and a stream of blood can be seen around it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{calmly}'' Aw, a Weasel.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{wiping his brow}'' Phew.

''{Pan over to show Marzipan, holding the rake and shovel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, Marzipan!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Always happy to help!

''{Cut to the Lappy. Strong Bad sits down in front of it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sorry, Lappy. My triumphant return to checking emails calls for some fresh blood!

''{He closes the Lappy, leaving a faint backwards "Lappy 486" in the wall behind it. He pushes it off to the side.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Tech nerds, feast your eyes... on ''Steak Sandwich!''

''{He places said sandwich on the desk in front of him to a trumpet fanfare. Cut to a solo image of the sandwich.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Steaky Steaky 6 Millenium Edition ''{a steak-shaped logo for this appears in the corner}'' is a processing wonder horse, capable of sauteed onions, ''{a logo for "Sauteed Onions Ghz" appears}'' grilled mushrooms, ''{a logo for "Grilled Mushrooms 32x" appears}'' and all right, never mind.

''{The Steak logo swivels as though its left side was no longer supported while the other logos fall off the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' This is just a steak sandwich, isn't it?

''{Cut to a rear view of the desk, as Strong Bad looks at the sandwich.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, I guess I'm a little... out-of-practice with this stuff. ''{to the Lappy}'' All right, Lappy, you can stay alive for at least one more week.

''{He pushes the sandwich aside and returns the Lappy to its rightful position. He opens the Lappy and a startup tone is heard. Cut to behind Strong Bad. The Female Lappy is visible.}''

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' Another week with you, Strong Bad, is like 8 dog-weeks in cat-years.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, are you sure you're not Senor Cardgage's computer?

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' ''{from offscreen}'' No...

''{Cut back to show Senor Cardgage standing near Strong Bad, holding the sandwich.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' This steak samwich is Beverly ''clearly'' my compooter, Bathsheba.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{smiling}'' Hey, Cardgage! D'you wanna help me come out of e-tirement?

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Ummmmm... no.

''{Strong Bad lowers his head in disappointment. Senor Cardgage turns around and starts walking in place, while sounds of traffic are heard. Strong Bad looks up in confusion, and starts to nervously lean back.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm quite scared right now.

''{Cut to the Lappy as Strong Bad turns back to it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's start over. ''{types "strongbad_email.exe"}'' Oh, man, I haven't checked my email in so long, I bet there's gonna be a half-zillion messages waiting for me!

''{He presses Return. The following comes up with a ding: "Oh, smokes! You have 2 new messages!", which are "Coolness" from "Kelly" and "Thanks for loaning me your rake" from "Homestar".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Well, a half-''four'' messages waiting for me isn't bad. ''{He brings up "Coolness".}''

<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: coolness</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
What was the coolest explosion you ever saw? 
 
From, 
Kelly 
USA
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad echos his own name. He says Kelly's name in a slightly seductive tone, leading into "USA" as "Oosa".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mmmm! An exotic lady from the far east! ''{typing}'' That's kind of a vague question don'tcha think? That's like me asking, "Dear Kelly, what's your favorite molecule of air that you've breathed?" ''{not typed}'' Or... ''{clears screen, typing:}'' "What's your favorite Strong Bad muscle that you wanted to rub with hot oils?" You gotta narrow it down somehow. Like, do you wanna know about the coolest looking explosion I ever rigged up in Strong Sad's org-ethnic breakfast pouch on a Tuesday?

''{Cut to the kitchen of the Brothers Strong. Strong Bad is eating from a cereal bowl with a spoon. Strong Sad is standing next to him, wearing a tuxedo, and looking expectantly at a toaster.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{poorly acting}'' Mmm. This cereal is sooooo cerealy.

''{The toaster pops up a breakfast pastry with a conspicuous red light on it. Strong Sad catches it. Over the next line, the light begins to blink faster and faster while making ticking noises.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, child! I am gonna enjoy this saag paneer "Pop-Tart with a Vengeance"! Then I've got to go stand around in this tuxedo with a ven— OOOHHH!!

''{The Pop-Tart explodes into green goo, which gets all over Strong Sad and leaves a green stain on the wall behind him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Waa-ha-ha-ha!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Or do you wanna know like, the coolest explosion I ever saw that had one of those blast-wavy Saturn rings around it that've become so popular lately.

''{Cut to Strong Bad in his bathroom, holding a newspaper.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 'Cuz I've caused ''plenty'' of those.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But the coolest part was actually later on, when I was telling Coach Z all about it.

''{Cut to the Athletic Field. Strong Bad is talking to Coach Z.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And so first, there was this little explosion, that was like "Doooooosh!" ''{some drops of spit fly away from him toward Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' Ya don't say?

'''STRONG BAD:''' And then secondary charges blew and it was like, "Ka-plssshhhhh!" ''{more drops of spit fly toward Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' You say?

'''STRONG BAD:''' And finally one of those blast-wavy Saturn rings that've become so popular lately shot out, and was like "PSSSSSSHHHHH!!!!"

''{Strong Bad draws out the explosion. A wave of spit drops fly toward Coach Z. Coach Z pulls out a bar of soap and a bottle of "PORT PLUS +". He rubs the soap on his body and dumps some shampoo over his hat. He then tosses the bottle away and rubs his hat, which becomes sudsy.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Thanks for the great story, Strong Bad! I was gonna hit the showers, but now I don't has to!

''{Strong Bad spits a few more drops toward Coach Z. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Everybody knows that the more spit it takes to describe an explosion, the cooler said explosion was. ''And'' the cooler said explosion-talker-abouter is!

''{Cut to Strong Sad talking to Coach Z in the Athletic Field.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And then my saag paneer Pop-Tart said it like... "Ptoo."

''{A single large drop of spit flies toward Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{angrily}'' Are you kiddin' me? I can't even warsh my hands with that mess!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But if history has taught us anything, then we all know that the coolest explosions have come from my very own computers.

''{A quick montage results where the Tandy explodes, throwing Strong Bad back, Strong Bad knocks the Tandy off the desk with an inexplicable explosion, Bubs' shotgun blows a hole in the Compy, Strong Mad gulps from a mini-explosion from the Compy, and the Tandy explodes in a green pixelated mushroom cloud with Homestar nearby. Cut back to the Lappy, with the female Lappy visible.}''

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' But waimt, Strong Bad, does that means?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm afraid so, sweet Lappy. I figured that USB self-destruct button I bought a couple weeks ago woulda clued you in.

''{Cut to a closeup of a big red button with "dooj" written on it, connected to the Lappy via USB. Then cut to a rear view of the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But... it's time. ''{Cut to behind Strong Bad}'' Why wait around for someone else to blow up your computer tomorrow when you can blow it up yourself today?

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' You should put that on your bwees-ness cards.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mock-sadly}'' That's a great idea, Lappy. ''{cut to rear view of the desk}'' Good bye. ''{presses the button}'' Dooj.

''{Cut to a silhouette of the house with a tree beside it. The explosion knocks the tree away and blows the roof clear of the house. Two shockwaves appear as part of the explosion. A ghostly image of the Female Lappy icon with fangs appears in the explosion.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So popular lately.

''{Cut to Bubs and Coach Z on lawn chairs, watching the explosion.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oooooor! Awwwwwr! 
'''BUBS:''' Ooooooh! Awwwwww!

'''COACH Z:''' I can't wait till Strong Bad tells me 'bout that one. I'm'a go ahead and strip down to da nude!

'''BUBS:''' ''{pointing at Coach Z}'' Ponk!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, standing next to the desk. Strong Bad himself is unharmed, but the desk it broken in two from the explosion, and the paint has been torn away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And now that—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{poking in from the side}'' Don't call it a comeback.

'''STRONG BAD:''' —is what I call—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't call it a comeback.

'''STRONG BAD:''' —a—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{disappears off the side and reappears upside-down}'' Don't call it a comeback.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{jumping forward on his knee}'' —comeback!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{disappears and reappears rightside-up, makes an annoyed sigh}''

''{Homestar disappears while Strong Bad looks upward.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, if a paper survived that, maybe come down... now?

''{Black ashes fall from the top of the screen. Strong Bad looks down at them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Looks like I need a new one of those, too.

==Easter Eggs==
*When the [[Lappy]] tells [[Strong Bad]] to put his catch phrase about computer destruction on his "bwees-ness" cards, click "bwees-ness card" to see a business card for a computer destruction business.
*At the end, click on the hole in the wall to see an exchange between [[Strong Sad]] as the Gardenboy from [[yes, wrestling]] and [[The Announcer]].
:''{Cut to a scene at the [[Gymnasium]] with The Announcer at the left and Garden Boy at the right}''
:'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, you know, announcer man, that's right! All you gophers out there better listen up! The Magnificent Marzipan stole all Garden Boy's garden tools, and I don't care if she's a women's champion, a men's champion, a half woman-half man's champion... Uh, do we have one of those?
:'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Uh, yes, I believe we do.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, can I fight them instead?

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
[[File:Homestar uncensored.png|thumb|"Aw, a Weasel."]]
*This episode marks the first time the outside of Strong Bad's house is shown
*When the Flash file is decompiled, Homestar's battered face is visible behind the censored box.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container|mega race]]".
*This episode marks the first time Strong Bad actually acknowledges how creepy [[Senor Cardgage]] is.

===Remarks===
*In his flashback, Strong Bad knocks the broken [[Tandy 400]] off his desk to an explosion. There was no such explosion in [[invisibility]].
* In [[virus]], the virus caused everything to become corrupted. As part of the corruption, Bubs' shotgun resembled Homestar's leg. However, in the flashback, the shotgun is clearly still a shotgun even before the [[Compy 386]] is shot.
* Strong Bad's line "Uh, if a paper survived that, come down now" and the ensuing black paper falling from the sky is most likely to avoid announcing a winner of the [[email thunder|fight between the two papers]]. However, Strong Bad is not as saddened by the burnt paper's fate as he was in [[the paper]], indicating that it was probably the [[New Paper]].
* Homestar Runner's email was not blocked by Edgar's Baby's Daddy or his Idiot Filter, as all Homestar emails are in [[candy product]] and [[Strong Badia the Free]], respectively.

===Goofs===
*When Homestar is hit with the Garden Weasel, his face is still visible. The bruises, scars, and blood only appear ''after'' the camera zooms in.
*When the ashes of the New Paper come down, they fall in front of Strong Bad, but after, some are behind Strong Bad on the floor.

===Inside References===
*[[Onomatopoeia|Dooj]], as the USB self-destruct button reads, is a common sound effect used for explosions in the Homestar Runner Universe.
*The scene of Bubs and Coach Z in the field is reminiscent of [[Happy Fireworks]], in which the two watched [[fireworks]] in a similar fashion.
**Likewise, the can of [[Cold One#Coldson Lite|Coldson Lite]] reappears.
*The Easter egg at the end of the toon is a reference to the email [[yes, wrestling]], in which Strong Sad takes on the wrestling persona of the Gardenboy.
*The entire toon is about [[explosions]].
*Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]] when Senor Cardgage first shows up in his house, as well as when he's laughing at Strong Sad when his Pop-Tart explodes.
*Although it is censored, you can still see that Homestar Runner [[Blood|bleeds]] after being hit with the garden weasel.
*The scene in which Strong Bad introduces his "new computer" is a reference to how he introduced the [[Lappy 486]] in the email [[animal]].
*Coach Z's use of Port Plus is a reference to [[Jibblies 2]], where he asked the [[Horrible Painting]] for some.
*The background for the steak sandwich is the same used for [[The Show]].
*The Lappy's pronunciation "bwees-ness" is a reference to [[theme park]], where Strong Bad makes fun of how the email's author misspells "business".
*Strong Sad exclaiming "Oh, child!" is a reference to [[retirement]], when the Lappy exclaimed the same thing.
*The "Fightin' Coach Zs" logo from [[One Two, One Two]] appears on the athletic field.

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Garden Weasel|Garden Weasel]] is a garden implement made famous mainly through late night infomercials.
* Strong Bad's remark that Kelly-Usa sounds exotic is a reference to the [http://www.snopes.com/business/genius/usa.asp urban legend] about Japan renaming a town Usa. This legend was also referenced in [[Donut Unto Others]].
*Senor Cardgage's "Beverly clearly" is a reference to children's author [[Wikipedia:Beverly Cleary|Beverly Cleary]].
*Strong Bad's "Dooj" button resembles the "Easy" button from commercials for [[Wikipedia:Staples Inc.|Staples]], an office supply chain.
*Homestar repeating the phrase "Don't call it a comeback", is a reference to the first line of "[[WIkipedia:Mama_Said_Knock_You_Out_(song)|Mama Said Knock You Out]]" by [[Wikipedia:LL Cool J|LL Cool J]].
*Gardenboy's line in the Easter Egg that he doesn't care if Marzipan is a "women's champion or man's champion..." is a nod to [[Wikipedia:Andy_Kaufman|Andy Kaufman]], the intergender wrestling champion.
* The Magnificent Marzipan is a nod to [[Wikipedia:Sensational_Sherri|Sensational Sherri]] and/or [[Wikipedia:Don_Muraco|The Magnificent Muraco]].

New Toon Soon

2009-06-29T06:10:40Z

Smashogun:

[[Image:toonsoon.png|thumb|New toon soon!]]
When [[The Brothers Chaps]] don't have anything ready to release on Monday morning (or very rarely on other days), they frequently let viewers know via a [[Main Page message]] that there will be an email or other '''new toon soon''' so that viewers will know to check back before the next week. Clicking the message will link you to the current latest toon. When they say "soon", a little more than half the time they mean later in the same day, and the rest of the time they mean sometime the next day (except for the two most recent big Halloween toons, which each had teasers and took several days to be released).

New Toon Soon

When [[The Brothers Chaps]] don't have anything ready to release on Monday morning (or very rarely on other days), they frequently let viewers know via a [[Main Page message]] that there will be an email or other '''new toon soon''' so that viewers will know to check back before the next week. Clicking the message will link you to the last toon that was published. When they say "soon", a little more than half the time they mean later in the same day, and the rest of the time they mean sometime the next day (except for the two most recent big Halloween toons, which each had teasers and took several days to be released).

==Preview Transcript==
[[Image:TrogdorintheBasement.png|thumb|"Aw, crapsicles!"]]
''{"in the next episode of STRONG BAD'S COOL GAME FOR ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE" is displayed in the [[Fonts#Joystix|Joystix font]]. Cut to the back of the television, with a short bit of dramatic music. Pan up to show Strong Bad on the couch, playing Space Circus Catastrophe, with the music also heard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ha-ha! Missed me! ''{Puts down the controller, squints his eyes}'' Aw, crapsicles.

''{ Stinkoman pops up from behind the veiwer's left side of the couch, Strong Bad looks at him}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Ha ha ha ha! ''{Stinkoman points at Strong Bad}'' One day you'll get your baby turn! ''{Cut to a close up of Stinkoman}'' For babies! ''{The camera zooms in closer and angles in on Stinkoman}'' Who have a turn!

''{Cut back to couch. Strong Bad is still squinting his eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Tilts his head down}'' Okay! Man, ''{Tilts his head up}'' shut up!

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{Drops back down and reappears on the other side of the couch, with his shoulders shrugging, Strong Bad looks at him}'' YOU shut up! You're dumb! ''{Stinkoman lowers his shoulders. Strong Bad lowers his eyelids.}'' And your head is wide ''{Stinkoman makes a distance with his hands.}'' like the river! ''{Points at Strong Bad. Strong Bad looks away from him, eyelids still lowered}'' You have the river head! ''{While laughing, he appears on the left side of the couch, then the top of the screen, then the bottom right corner of the screen, and last the bottom-left-center corner of the screen.}'' Ha ha ha ha!

''{The 8-Bit Is Enough logo appears on a swirling kamikaze background with a shing sound effect. An orchestra-themed music plays. Strong Bad and Stinkoman collide in the center of the screen, replacing the logo with "STRONG BAD'S COOL GAME FOR ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE" and with "New episode every month!" in yellow in Joystix as in a black strip in the same swirling kamikaze background. The screen goes black. Thunder and brief glimpses reveal Trogdor. Trogdor roars. The Trogdor theme from the Peasant's Quest plays. There is then a cut to Stinkoman and Trogdor on the couch. Trogdor is holding the Fun Machine controller in his beefy arm. Stinkoman is laughing inaudibly, and Trogdor is roaring. There is a pan left, to see Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, anybody know how to kill a dragon?

''{Cut to a black screen, fading in the text "www.telltalegames.com" or "Play it on WiiWare" in Joystix. "www.telltalegames.com" appears on the PC version or on the online video, while "Play it on WiiWare" will be shown on the Wii version.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Shovelware|Shovelware]] is low quality, quickly ported or programed computer programs, usually done to capitalize on a trend or make a quick profit.
*In the intro, Strong Sad says that the arcade game's fan needs to be serviced, and Strong Bad asks where he can find any fan service. [[Wikipedia:Fanservice|Fanservice]] is content added mainly to please the fans. It is quite appropriate, then, that Trogdor starts to break out of the arcade immediately after Strong Bad's question.
*"Yatta!" is a Japanese word which means "I did it!", or "All right!" in English.
*Placing a pineapple slice in gelatin will cause the gelatin to dissolve.

===Trivia===
*This is the only episode to lack [[Pom Pom]]; since [[Homsar]] is also missing, this means that this episode has the fewest main characters at 10; all of the others had 11 or 12.
*This and [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]] are the only two episodes to happen on the same day.
**Despite this, there is a calendar on the [[Computer Room]] wall despite the fact it was missing from the present-day opening of Dangeresque 3.

===Remarks===
*In the preview for this episode, Strong Bad has a black outline, and his arms look oddly deformed for some reason.
*Even in extended play, you cannot go outside with a costume in this episode.
**This is likely because you will become Rather Dashing if you visit Peasantry in Extended Play.
*When the difficulty slider is set to "high" but the lever hasn't been pulled to make Professor Pineapple shoot fruit in Gel-Arshie's Pro Fruitboarder, there is a steady stream of pineapple slices, but no other changes to the game. However, when both are set, there is an extremely high amount of fruit even discounting the fruit Professor Pineapple shoots.
*If you click the main menu button near the peasants running around at the inn they turn around and look at you.
*In Stinkoman 20X6, extra lives appear as multiple Stinkomans(one per life). However, in the actual Stinkoman 20X6 game, a Stinkoman head with a number next to it is used to list extra lives, rather than each extra life being represented by a Stinkoman clone.
*In the preview for this episode, both Stinkoman and Trogdor enter the real world, but only Trogdor enters the real world in the actual game.

===Goofs===
*During the credits, when RoboKingofTown is shown, he is not wearing the sunglasses he wore earlier in the game.
*Also during the credits, [[Nebulon]] is not shown even though the Space Clown and Algebraic Expression are.

===Glitches===
*The costume items from Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective, excluding the Dangeresque Glasses, are not available in the Snap Shak in the PC version, apparently due to a writing error in Episode 4.
*During the cutscene when Gel-Arshie is obtained, the Gel-Arshie game cartridge can be seen floating where The Cheat was holding it before the lights went out. It disappears after the game saves.
*Sometimes during the fight against Ultimate Trogdor, you cannot use a Peasant on the upper left-hand pedistal.
*In the Stinkoman 20X6 location, if you click the really tall ladder when it's built while on the starting platform, the cutscene will play and you'll be on the lower platform, next to the ladder. Clicking anywhere warps you back to the left edge of the starting platform.

===Inside References===
*Trogdor has previously appeared in Free Country USA in [[Trogday 08]].
*Stinkoman and Strong Bad previously met in the email [[alternate universe]] and Stinkoman also previously appeared in Free Country USA in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].
**Stinkoman also insulted Strong Bad in [[alternate universe]], saying he has a big nose.
*References to the first four SBCG4AP episodes include:
**The [[Taranchula]] standee that Strong Bad "fights" in [[Strong Badia the Free]] returning, but without the fire and ice heads.
**Homestar stating that quarters taste like butterscotch, like he did in [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]] when the hole in the [[Strong Badia|Strong Borneo]] fence is examined in extended play.
**Strong Bad talking about the [[Fluffy Puff Jela-Ton]] he won during the Race to the End of the Race, a reference to [[Homestar Ruiner]].
**When Strong Bad collects the scorpion food, he sings, "Puttin' scorpion food in my pants; hope I don't get stung!", echoing his singing "Puttin' bat hutches in my pants; hope I don't get bit!" in [[Baddest of the Bands]].
**When the Limozeen [[The Space Machine|Space Machine]] picks up "Marzy-Kong", [[Larry]] exclaims, "Oh, crap! It's that crazy lady from the Battle of the Bands!!" as another reference to [[Baddest of the Bands]].
**Strong Bad mumbling, "[[Rhinofeeder]]", which he also mumbled in the beginning of [[Homestar Ruiner]].
**Trogdor claiming that he can't handle Strong Bad's style, which Strong Bad said that nobody could in [[Homestar Ruiner]], unless they are a pretty lady.
*The introductory narration is similar to the one used in [[fingers]]. The announcer of said introduction also appeared in the same email.
**Homestar also mispronounced "Previously" in [[DNA Evidence]].
*When Strong Bad goes through a video game portal, his last two transformations are [[Atari Strong Bad]] and [[Secret Collect.]] Strong Bad, respectively.
*[[Mr. Shmallow]] can be seen on the Pineapple Gun.
*Upon entering the Peasantry area, Strong Bad will remark on the game's status as "the best-selling video computer TV game of all time", as it was previously referred to as in [[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer]].
**Likewise, the music from the trailer plays as background music in Peasantry and at the final battle, and Rather Dashing speaks exactly as he does in the trailer.
*The [[wikipedia:Pitfall!|Pitfall!]] Scorpions from [[In Search of the Yello Dello]] return in Halfathlon.
*In addition to the four historical figures, the puzzle wheel in the Videlectrix Mainframe depicts Trogdor, the [[Jhonka]], [[Thy Dungeonman (character)|Thy Dungeonman]], and [[Kid Speedy]].
*The loading screen for the first-person segment reads "Get [[SBLOUNSKCHED]]!", a reference to [[candy product]].
*In Extended Play, when trying to get ye flask, the text on the bottom reads "[[seriously]], get ye flask".
*When Chorch gets angry, he says he will make Stinkoman wish he was never born. This phrase was mentioned in Chorch's description in the [[Stinkomanual]].
*Clicking on the pennants in Extended Play will show a credits sequence that mentions [[Cherry Greg]], [[A. Chimendez]], [[Lem Sportsinterviews|"Lem" Sportsinterviews]], [[Douglas]], [[Levert Burtmore]], [[The Deke]], and [[Dennis]], along with [[Strong Sad]] and [[The Cheat]].
*The "ultimate" form of Strong Bad was mentoned numerous times during the production of SBCG4AP, namely the [[SBCG4AP Advertisement]] and the [[SBCG4AP Dev Blog]]. Strong Bad complained numerous time about [[Telltale Games]] not using the "concept art", explaining Strong Bad's remark of "Whoa! They ''finally'' listened to me!"
**The concept art appears again during and after the credits.
*The final cutscene has an instance of [[couch mumbling]].
*Homestar previously ate coins (albeit more deliberately) in [[do over]].
*Homestar mentions his [[hremail]]s in one of the hints he gives.
*When Strong Bad first enters Stinkoman 20X6, he says, "Now I want to be the guy too.", paraphrasing [[1-Up]]'s line in [[japanese cartoon]]: "Everybody says you're the guy. But I wanna be the guy too!"
*On the title screen and during the credits, the music is an instrumental version of [[Please Stop Trying To Handle My Style]].
*The 8-bit lantern resembles the one in [[Peasant's Quest]].
*Strong Bad asks Strong Sad to "shut up [[nine times]]".
*The dual inclusion of the Roman helmet and Old Timey [[Free Country, USA]] background in the photo booth may refer to an Easter egg in [[highschool]].

===Real-World References===
*The title is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Eight Is Enough|Eight Is Enough]], a television comedy-drama from the late 1970s and early '80s.
*Lady Crate Ape is a take off of [[Donkey Kong]], possibly, in the same trend as [[Wikipedia:Ms_pacman |Ms. Pacman]].
**When Marzipan is possessed by the spirit of the game, her expression is similar to Kong's expression on the original video game cabinet. Strong Bad also frequently refers to her as "Marzy-Kong".
**The way the portions of the scaffolding are put together and fall down when she stomps on the roof mimics the way the game begins in most versions, minus the part where the entire thing collapses.
*Strong Bad complains about taking a [[Wikipedia:The Color Purple|''The Color Purple'']] personality quiz when answering an email.
*Strong Bad climbing the vine with the smiling cloud on the Awesomeness screen is modeled after [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 2|Super Mario Bros. 2]].
**Similarly, the bushes with eyes in the intro screen are another reference to the ''[[Mario]]'' series.
**Homestar saying "Hurray! You win! Ptoo! Ptoo!" could also be a reference to Mario, because when you win a level in [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]], fireworks would go off with a similar sound.
**When Strong Bad first enters Peasantry, he assumes hitting his head on things will make coins come out, a reference to the theme of making coins come out of blocks by jumping into them in said series.
***This could also refer to the act of somersaulting into trees to get various objects in [[The Legend of Zelda]] series, also by [[Nintendo]].
**The music and appearance of the ghosts haunting the House of Strong (particularly the ghosts flying out the front when outside) is reminiscent of the ghost houses in [[Wikipedia:Super Mario World|Super Mario World]].
*Some of the games depicted on the Awesomeness screen are [[Wikipedia:Pong|Pong]], [[Wikipedia:Tetris|Tetris]], and [[Wikipedia:Asteroids (video game)|Asteroids]].
*At one point, Gel-Arshie says "Hi! I'm Gel-Arshie!" in exactly the same way Hugh Bliss says his catchphrase "Hi! I'm Hugh Bliss!" in ''[[Wikipedia:Sam And Max Episode 102: Situation: Comedy|Sam And Max Episode 102: Situation: Comedy]]''.
*"The ladder is a lie" may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Portal (video game)|Portal]], where the phrase "the cake is a lie" is written all around the testing facility.
*Homestar mentions that he used his lucky quarter to beat [[Wikipedia:Street Fighter|Street Masher]], [[Wikipedia:Street Fighter 2|Street Masher 2]], and [[Wikipedia:Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo|Street Masher 2: Slightly Different Costumes Edition]]; these games seem to be based on the [[Street Fighter]] series, and indeed, ''Street Fighter II'' was infamous for having many minor variations before ''Street Fighter III'' came out.
*Homestar will, at one point, pop up and say "Hey! Listen!" He does so in the same fashion as Navi in [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time]].
**The locked door at the end of the game is similar to the locked doors in Ocarina of Time, too.
*If Strong Bad shoots at a ghost in The Field and misses, The Cheat pops up to laugh at him. This is similar to [[Wikipedia:Duck Hunt|Duck Hunt]], where the player's hunting dog does the same.
*Strong Sad saying "You shall not pass!" is a reference to Gandalf's confrontation with the Balrog in [[Wikipedia:The Lord of the Rings|Fellowship of the Ring]].
*Also, Strong Sad's line "Abandon all hope, ye who enter" is a reference to what is written above the entrance to the gates of Hell in Dante's epic poem [[Wikipedia:Divine_Comedy|The Divine Comedy]].
*The first person section is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Wolfenstein 3D|Wolfenstein 3D]] by iD Software; the King of Town's appearance and death speech are references to that game's depiction of Hitler.
**In addition, the name of the castle where this takes place is "Castle Poopenstein".
**When switching to first person perspective, Strong Bad says "Quake and fear". [[Wikipedia:Quake|Quake]] and [[Wikipedia:F.E.A.R.|F.E.A.R.]] are two popular first person shooters.
**In addition, the "Get Sblounskched" loading bar is from Wolfenstein 3D (in which it reads "Get Psyched!").
**The King of Town carries two machines guns, similar to the final boss in Wolfenstein 3D.
* The show that Strong Bad says on TV, "Videlectrix Saturday Mornideo Games", refers to the Saturday Morning cartoon series ''[[Wikipedia:Saturday Supercade|Saturday Supercade]]'' which aired on [[Wikipedia:CBS|CBS]] from 1983 to 1985.
*The words "ALL WORK AND NO FRUIT MAKES GEL-ARSHIE A DULL BOY" that fill up the TV screen after beating the Gel-Arshie game with the kill screen is a reference to the movie ''[[Wikipedia:The Shining (film)|The Shining]]''.
*Strong Bad looking through the TrogSword in 20X6 is a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Thundercats|Thundercats]]'', in particular Lion-O's transformation sequence. He also makes a reference to [[Wikipedia:He-Man|He-Man]] during this sequence.
**The TrogSword also looks very similar to Lion-O's sword with a symbol of Trogdor in the hilt instead of the Thundercats symbol.
*Several historical figures appear in the "Spirit of '76" game, including [[Wikipedia:John Hancock|John Hancock]], [[Wikipedia:Benjamin Franklin|Benjamin Franklin]], [[Wikipedia:Samuel Adams|Samuel Adams]], and [[Wikipedia:Paul Revere|Paul Revere]]. All figure significantly in the American Revolution.
**Samuel Adams saying he "probably invented beer" refers to the [[Wikipedia:Boston Beer Company|Samuel Adams]] brand of beer.
**When you give him the item, John Hancock says to make sure your family is insured, a reference to the [[Wikipedia:John Hancock Insurance|John Hancock Insurance]] company.
*Interacting with the mirror in the bathroom will make Strong Bad reference the [[Wikipedia:Bloody Mary (folklore)|Bloody Mary legend]].
*The Gel-Arshie portion of the game is likely a reference to [[Wikipedia:Cool Spot|Cool Spot]], a 1993 product placement game for 7-Up that featured its red mascot on a surf board.
*After using Gel-Arshie on the brick wall, he says the line "What's in the box?", a reference to the movie ''[[Wikipedia:Seven (film)|Se7en]]''.
*The "Bloodstone" in Trogdor's Lair is a reference to the game [[Wikipedia:Return to Krondor|Return to Krondor]], in which there is a "Nightstone" that casts everything in red light and reveals a hidden place, which holds the secret to destroying your enemy forever.
*Strong Bad's remark about the peasants starting a commune is a reference to [[Monty Python|''Monty Python and the Holy Grail'']], specifically the scene in which Dennis explains that he and his fellow peasants are an [[wikipedia:Anarcho-syndicalism|anarcho-syndicalist]] commune.
*When Strong Mad is in Halfathalon, he will exclaim "[[Wikipedia:Glasnost|GLASNOST]]! [[Wikipedia:Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn|SOLZHENITSYN]]!"
**When Strong Bad responds, his pronunciation of "Puttin'" likely refers to [[Russia|Russian]] president, [[Wikipedia:Vladamir Putin|Vladamir Putin]].
**"Zhivago" is a reference to [[wikipedia:Doctor Zhivago|Doctor Zhivago]].
*When Strong Bad gives the trophy to Strong Mad, he says "ich bin ein [[donut]]". This is an obvious variant of [[Wikipedia:Ich bin ein Berliner|Ich bin ein Berliner]]. Furthermore, it is a play on the urban legend that the [[German]] phrase means "I am a jelly donut."
*When entering Peasantry from the Videlectrix Mainframe any time after solving the code wheel, Strong Bad says, "Load p-quest comma eight comma one" referencing LOAD“FILE”,8,1 the command needed to load games and programs into many [[Wikipedia:Commodore International|Commodore]] computers.
*When summoning Boxer Joe, Strong Bad sometimes says "Round 1, FIGHT!" the same way the announcer does in [[Mortal Kombat]].
*When Strong Bad finally uses the performing bear, he shouts "I choose you." This is a clear reference to [[Pokémon]].
*In the game's music files, Halfathlon is referred to as [[Wikipedia:Summer Games|Summer Games]].
*"The Videlectrix Halfathalon" title mimics the similarly named The Activision Decathalon.
*The box art for Mista Fixit is modeled after the "album cover" boxes of early [[Wikipedia:Electronic Arts|Electronic Arts]], complete with an incorporation of the company's logo into the artwork.
*Revealing the ghosts with the camera is a parody of the [[Wikipedia:Fatal Frame|Fatal Frame]] series of games, where you also reveal and defeat ghosts in a similar fashion.
*The Videlectrix Power magazine is a reference to the real-world [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Power|Nintendo Power]] magazine.
*The music and the jump celebration by Strong Bad after defeating Ultimate Trogdor may be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Final Fantasy|Final Fantasy Series]].
*The scene where Strong Bad wakes up and tells everybody they were in his dream is a parody of the ending scene from ''[[The Wizard of Oz]]''.
*Strong Bad calling Strong Sad a "dumpla-lumpa" references the Oompa Loompas, the little men that work for [[Wikipedia:Willy Wonka|Willy Wonka]].
*When trying to use the Lappy during the Redcoat Ghost Patrol minigame, Strong Bad declines, saying that he "might get sucked into the screen or something". This is a possible reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Poltergeist (film)|Poltergeist]]''.
*Asking about Stinkoman's robot boots will unleash a diatribe ending with "And I can kick!", which is taken from an infamous 1987 [[Wikipedia:Late Night With David Letterman|Late Night With David Letterman]] interview with [[Wikipedia:Crispin Glover|Crispin Glover]] which also featured large shoes.
*Sometimes when Strong Bad is kicked out of the house by the redcoat ghost, Homestar will pop up and say "The ghosts are coming from inside the house!", a reference to the movie "When a Stranger Calls".

[[Image:TrogdorintheBasement.png|thumb|"Aw, crapsicles!"]]
''{"in the next episode of STRONG BAD'S COOL GAME FOR ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE" is displayed in the [[Fonts#Joystix|Joystix font]]. Cut to the back of the television, with a short bit of dramatic music. Pan up to show Strong Bad on the couch, playing Space Circus Catastrophe, with the music also heard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ha-ha! Missed me! ''{Puts down the controller, squints his eyes}'' Aw, crapsicles.

''{ Stinkoman pops up from behind the veiwer's left side of the couch, Strong Bad looks at him}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Ha ha ha ha! ''{Stinkoman points at Strong Bad}'' One day you'll get your baby turn! ''{Cut to a close up of Stinkoman}'' For babies! ''{The camera zooms in closer and angles in on Stinkoman}'' Who have a turn!

''{Cut back to couch. Strong Bad is still squinting his eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Tilts his head down}'' Okay! Man, ''{Tilts his head up}'' shut up!

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{Drops back down and reappears on the other side of the couch, with his shoulders shrugging, Strong Bad looks at him}'' YOU shut up! You're dumb! ''{Stinkoman lowers his shoulders. Strong Bad lowers his eyelids.}'' And your head is wide ''{Stinkoman makes a distance with his hands.}'' like the river! ''{Points at Strong Bad. Strong Bad looks away from him, eyelids still lowered}'' You have the river head! ''{While laughing, he appears on the left side of the couch, then the top of the screen, then the bottom right corner of the screen, and last the bottom-left-center corner of the screen.}'' Ha ha ha ha!

''{The 8-Bit Is Enough logo appears on a swirling kamikaze background with a shing sound effect. An orchestra-themed music plays. Strong Bad and Stinkoman collide in the center of the screen, replacing the logo with "STRONG BAD'S COOL GAME FOR ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE" and with "New episode every month!" in yellow in Joystix as in a black strip in the same swirling kamikaze background. The screen goes black. Thunder and brief glimpses reveal Trogdor. Trogdor roars. The Trogdor theme from the Peasant's Quest plays. There is then a cut to Stinkoman and Trogdor on the couch. Trogdor is holding the Fun Machine controller in his beefy arm. Stinkoman is laughing inaudibly, and Trogdor is roaring. There is a pan left, to see Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, anybody know how to kill a dragon?

''{Cut to a black screen, fading in the text "www.telltalegames.com" or "Play it on WiiWare" in Joystix. "www.telltalegames.com" appears on the PC version or on the online video, while "Play it on WiiWare" will be shown on the Wii version.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Shovelware|Shovelware]] is low quality, quickly ported or programed computer programs, usually done to capitalize on a trend or make a quick profit.
*In the intro, Strong Sad says that the arcade game's fan needs to be serviced, and Strong Bad asks where he can find any fan service. [[Wikipedia:Fanservice|Fanservice]] is content added mainly to please the fans. It is quite appropriate, then, that Trogdor starts to break out of the arcade immediately after Strong Bad's question.
*"Yatta!" is a Japanese word which means "I did it!", or "All right!" in English.
*Placing a pineapple slice in gelatin will cause the gelatin to dissolve.

===Trivia===
*This is the only episode to lack [[Pom Pom]]; since [[Homsar]] is also missing, this means that this episode has the fewest main characters at 10; all of the others had 11 or 12.
*This and [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]] are the only two episodes to happen on the same day.
**Despite this, there is a calendar on the [[Computer Room]] wall despite the fact it was missing from the present-day opening of Dangeresque 3.

===Remarks===
*In the preview for this episode, Strong Bad has a black outline, and his arms look oddly deformed for some reason.
*Even in extended play, you cannot go outside with a costume in this episode.
**This is likely because you will become Rather Dashing if you visit Peasantry in Extended Play.
*When the difficulty slider is set to "high" but the lever hasn't been pulled to make Professor Pineapple shoot fruit in Gel-Arshie's Pro Fruitboarder, there is a steady stream of pineapple slices, but no other changes to the game. However, when both are set, there is an extremely high amount of fruit even discounting the fruit Professor Pineapple shoots.
*If you click the main menu button near the peasants running around at the inn they turn around and look at you.
*In Stinkoman 20X6, extra lives appear as multiple Stinkomans(one per life). However, in the actual Stinkoman 20X6 game, a Stinkoman head with a number next to it is used to list extra lives, rather than each extra life being represented by a Stinkoman clone.
*In the preview for this episode, both Stinkoman and Trogdor enter the real world, but only Trogdor enters the real world in the actual game.

===Goofs===
*During the credits, when RoboKingofTown is shown, he is not wearing the sunglasses he wore earlier in the game.
*Also during the credits, [[Nebulon]] is not shown even though the Space Clown and Algebraic Expression are.

===Glitches===
*The costume items from Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective, excluding the Dangeresque Glasses, are not available in the Snap Shak in the PC version, apparently due to a writing error in Episode 4.
*During the cutscene when Gel-Arshie is obtained, the Gel-Arshie game cartridge can be seen floating where The Cheat was holding it before the lights went out. It disappears after the game saves.
*Sometimes during the fight against Ultimate Trogdor, you cannot use a Peasant on the upper left-hand pedistal.
*In the Stinkoman 20X6 location, if you click the really tall ladder when it's built while on the starting platform, the cutscene will play and you'll be on the lower platform, next to the ladder. Clicking anywhere warps you back to the left edge of the starting platform.

===Inside References===
*Trogdor has previously appeared in Free Country USA in [[Trogday 08]].
*Stinkoman and Strong Bad previously met in the email [[alternate universe]] and Stinkoman also previously appeared in Free Country USA in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].
**Stinkoman also insulted Strong Bad in [[alternate universe]], saying he has a big nose.
*References to the first four SBCG4AP episodes include:
**The [[Taranchula]] standee that Strong Bad "fights" in [[Strong Badia the Free]] returning, but without the fire and ice heads.
**Homestar stating that quarters taste like butterscotch, like he did in [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]] when the hole in the [[Strong Badia|Strong Borneo]] fence is examined in extended play.
**Strong Bad talking about the [[Fluffy Puff Jela-Ton]] he won during the Race to the End of the Race, a reference to [[Homestar Ruiner]].
**When Strong Bad collects the scorpion food, he sings, "Puttin' scorpion food in my pants; hope I don't get stung!", echoing his singing "Puttin' bat hutches in my pants; hope I don't get bit!" in [[Baddest of the Bands]].
**When the Limozeen [[The Space Machine|Space Machine]] picks up "Marzy-Kong", [[Larry]] exclaims, "Oh, crap! It's that crazy lady from the Battle of the Bands!!" as another reference to [[Baddest of the Bands]].
**Strong Bad mumbling, "[[Rhinofeeder]]", which he also mumbled in the beginning of [[Homestar Ruiner]].
**Trogdor claiming that he can't handle Strong Bad's style, which Strong Bad said that nobody could in [[Homestar Ruiner]], unless they are a pretty lady.
*The introductory narration is similar to the one used in [[fingers]]. The announcer of said introduction also appeared in the same email.
**Homestar also mispronounced "Previously" in [[DNA Evidence]].
*When Strong Bad goes through a video game portal, his last two transformations are [[Atari Strong Bad]] and [[Secret Collect.]] Strong Bad, respectively.
*[[Mr. Shmallow]] can be seen on the Pineapple Gun.
*Upon entering the Peasantry area, Strong Bad will remark on the game's status as "the best-selling video computer TV game of all time", as it was previously referred to as in [[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer]].
**Likewise, the music from the trailer plays as background music in Peasantry and at the final battle, and Rather Dashing speaks exactly as he does in the trailer.
*The [[wikipedia:Pitfall!|Pitfall!]] Scorpions from [[In Search of the Yello Dello]] return in Halfathlon.
*In addition to the four historical figures, the puzzle wheel in the Videlectrix Mainframe depicts Trogdor, the [[Jhonka]], [[Thy Dungeonman (character)|Thy Dungeonman]], and [[Kid Speedy]].
*The loading screen for the first-person segment reads "Get [[SBLOUNSKCHED]]!", a reference to [[candy product]].
*In Extended Play, when trying to get ye flask, the text on the bottom reads "[[seriously]], get ye flask".
*When Chorch gets angry, he says he will make Stinkoman wish he was never born. This phrase was mentioned in Chorch's description in the [[Stinkomanual]].
*Clicking on the pennants in Extended Play will show a credits sequence that mentions [[Cherry Greg]], [[A. Chimendez]], [[Lem Sportsinterviews|"Lem" Sportsinterviews]], [[Douglas]], [[Levert Burtmore]], [[The Deke]], and [[Dennis]], along with [[Strong Sad]] and [[The Cheat]].
*The "ultimate" form of Strong Bad was mentoned numerous times during the production of SBCG4AP, namely the [[SBCG4AP Advertisement]] and the [[SBCG4AP Dev Blog]]. Strong Bad complained numerous time about [[Telltale Games]] not using the "concept art", explaining Strong Bad's remark of "Whoa! They ''finally'' listened to me!"
**The concept art appears again during and after the credits.
*The final cutscene has an instance of [[couch mumbling]].
*Homestar previously ate coins (albeit more deliberately) in [[do over]].
*Homestar mentions his [[hremail]]s in one of the hints he gives.
*When Strong Bad first enters Stinkoman 20X6, he says, "Now I want to be the guy too.", paraphrasing [[1-Up]]'s line in [[japanese cartoon]]: "Everybody says you're the guy. But I wanna be the guy too!"
*On the title screen and during the credits, the music is an instrumental version of [[Please Stop Trying To Handle My Style]].
*The 8-bit lantern resembles the one in [[Peasant's Quest]].
*Strong Bad asks Strong Sad to "shut up [[nine times]]".
*The dual inclusion of the Roman helmet and Old Timey [[Free Country, USA]] background in the photo booth may refer to an Easter egg in [[highschool]].

===Real-World References===
*The title is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Eight Is Enough|Eight Is Enough]], a television comedy-drama from the late 1970s and early '80s.
*Lady Crate Ape is a take off of [[Donkey Kong]], possibly, in the same trend as [[Wikipedia:Ms_pacman |Ms. Pacman]].
**When Marzipan is possessed by the spirit of the game, her expression is similar to Kong's expression on the original video game cabinet. Strong Bad also frequently refers to her as "Marzy-Kong".
**The way the portions of the scaffolding are put together and fall down when she stomps on the roof mimics the way the game begins in most versions, minus the part where the entire thing collapses.
*Strong Bad complains about taking a [[Wikipedia:The Color Purple|''The Color Purple'']] personality quiz when answering an email.
*Strong Bad climbing the vine with the smiling cloud on the Awesomeness screen is modeled after [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 2|Super Mario Bros. 2]].
**Similarly, the bushes with eyes in the intro screen are another reference to the ''[[Mario]]'' series.
**Homestar saying "Hurray! You win! Ptoo! Ptoo!" could also be a reference to Mario, because when you win a level in [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]], fireworks would go off with a similar sound.
**When Strong Bad first enters Peasantry, he assumes hitting his head on things will make coins come out, a reference to the theme of making coins come out of blocks by jumping into them in said series.
***This could also refer to the act of somersaulting into trees to get various objects in [[The Legend of Zelda]] series, also by [[Nintendo]].
**The music and appearance of the ghosts haunting the House of Strong (particularly the ghosts flying out the front when outside) is reminiscent of the ghost houses in [[Wikipedia:Super Mario World|Super Mario World]].
*Some of the games depicted on the Awesomeness screen are [[Wikipedia:Pong|Pong]], [[Wikipedia:Tetris|Tetris]], and [[Wikipedia:Asteroids (video game)|Asteroids]].
*At one point, Gel-Arshie says "Hi! I'm Gel-Arshie!" in exactly the same way Hugh Bliss says his catchphrase "Hi! I'm Hugh Bliss!" in ''[[Wikipedia:Sam And Max Episode 102: Situation: Comedy|Sam And Max Episode 102: Situation: Comedy]]''.
*"The ladder is a lie" may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Portal (video game)|Portal]], where the phrase "the cake is a lie" is written all around the testing facility.
*Homestar mentions that he used his lucky quarter to beat [[Wikipedia:Street Fighter|Street Masher]], [[Wikipedia:Street Fighter 2|Street Masher 2]], and [[Wikipedia:Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo|Street Masher 2: Slightly Different Costumes Edition]]; these games seem to be based on the [[Street Fighter]] series, and indeed, ''Street Fighter II'' was infamous for having many minor variations before ''Street Fighter III'' came out.
*Homestar will, at one point, pop up and say "Hey! Listen!" He does so in the same fashion as Navi in [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time]].
**The locked door at the end of the game is similar to the locked doors in Ocarina of Time, too.
*If Strong Bad shoots at a ghost in The Field and misses, The Cheat pops up to laugh at him. This is similar to [[Wikipedia:Duck Hunt|Duck Hunt]], where the player's hunting dog does the same.
*Strong Sad saying "You shall not pass!" is a reference to Gandalf's confrontation with the Balrog in [[Wikipedia:The Lord of the Rings|Fellowship of the Ring]].
*Also, Strong Sad's line "Abandon all hope, ye who enter" is a reference to what is written above the entrance to the gates of Hell in Dante's epic poem [[Wikipedia:Divine_Comedy|The Divine Comedy]].
*The first person section is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Wolfenstein 3D|Wolfenstein 3D]] by iD Software; the King of Town's appearance and death speech are references to that game's depiction of Hitler.
**In addition, the name of the castle where this takes place is "Castle Poopenstein".
**When switching to first person perspective, Strong Bad says "Quake and fear". [[Wikipedia:Quake|Quake]] and [[Wikipedia:F.E.A.R.|F.E.A.R.]] are two popular first person shooters.
**In addition, the "Get Sblounskched" loading bar is from Wolfenstein 3D (in which it reads "Get Psyched!").
**The King of Town carries two machines guns, similar to the final boss in Wolfenstein 3D.
* The show that Strong Bad says on TV, "Videlectrix Saturday Mornideo Games", refers to the Saturday Morning cartoon series ''[[Wikipedia:Saturday Supercade|Saturday Supercade]]'' which aired on [[Wikipedia:CBS|CBS]] from 1983 to 1985.
*The words "ALL WORK AND NO FRUIT MAKES GEL-ARSHIE A DULL BOY" that fill up the TV screen after beating the Gel-Arshie game with the kill screen is a reference to the movie ''[[Wikipedia:The Shining (film)|The Shining]]''.
*Strong Bad looking through the TrogSword in 20X6 is a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Thundercats|Thundercats]]'', in particular Lion-O's transformation sequence. He also makes a reference to [[Wikipedia:He-Man|He-Man]] during this sequence.
**The TrogSword also looks very similar to Lion-O's sword with a symbol of Trogdor in the hilt instead of the Thundercats symbol.
*Several historical figures appear in the "Spirit of '76" game, including [[Wikipedia:John Hancock|John Hancock]], [[Wikipedia:Benjamin Franklin|Benjamin Franklin]], [[Wikipedia:Samuel Adams|Samuel Adams]], and [[Wikipedia:Paul Revere|Paul Revere]]. All figure significantly in the American Revolution.
**Samuel Adams saying he "probably invented beer" refers to the [[Wikipedia:Boston Beer Company|Samuel Adams]] brand of beer.
**When you give him the item, John Hancock says to make sure your family is insured, a reference to the [[Wikipedia:John Hancock Insurance|John Hancock Insurance]] company.
*Interacting with the mirror in the bathroom will make Strong Bad reference the [[Wikipedia:Bloody Mary (folklore)|Bloody Mary legend]].
*The Gel-Arshie portion of the game is likely a reference to [[Wikipedia:Cool Spot|Cool Spot]], a 1993 product placement game for 7-Up that featured its red mascot on a surf board.
*After using Gel-Arshie on the brick wall, he says the line "What's in the box?", a reference to the movie ''[[Wikipedia:Seven (film)|Se7en]]''.
*The "Bloodstone" in Trogdor's Lair is a reference to the game [[Wikipedia:Return to Krondor|Return to Krondor]], in which there is a "Nightstone" that casts everything in red light and reveals a hidden place, which holds the secret to destroying your enemy forever.
*Strong Bad's remark about the peasants starting a commune is a reference to [[Monty Python|''Monty Python and the Holy Grail'']], specifically the scene in which Dennis explains that he and his fellow peasants are an [[wikipedia:Anarcho-syndicalism|anarcho-syndicalist]] commune.
*When Strong Mad is in Halfathalon, he will exclaim "[[Wikipedia:Glasnost|GLASNOST]]! [[Wikipedia:Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn|SOLZHENITSYN]]!"
**When Strong Bad responds, his pronunciation of "Puttin'" likely refers to [[Russia|Russian]] president, [[Wikipedia:Vladamir Putin|Vladamir Putin]].
**"Zhivago" is a reference to [[wikipedia:Doctor Zhivago|Doctor Zhivago]].
*When Strong Bad gives the trophy to Strong Mad, he says "ich bin ein [[donut]]". This is an obvious variant of [[Wikipedia:Ich bin ein Berliner|Ich bin ein Berliner]]. Furthermore, it is a play on the urban legend that the [[German]] phrase means "I am a jelly donut."
*When entering Peasantry from the Videlectrix Mainframe any time after solving the code wheel, Strong Bad says, "Load p-quest comma eight comma one" referencing LOAD“FILE”,8,1 the command needed to load games and programs into many [[Wikipedia:Commodore International|Commodore]] computers.
*When summoning Boxer Joe, Strong Bad sometimes says "Round 1, FIGHT!" the same way the announcer does in [[Mortal Kombat]].
*When Strong Bad finally uses the performing bear, he shouts "I choose you." This is a clear reference to [[Pokémon]].
*In the game's music files, Halfathlon is referred to as [[Wikipedia:Summer Games|Summer Games]].
*"The Videlectrix Halfathalon" title mimics the similarly named The Activision Decathalon.
*The box art for Mista Fixit is modeled after the "album cover" boxes of early [[Wikipedia:Electronic Arts|Electronic Arts]], complete with an incorporation of the company's logo into the artwork.
*Revealing the ghosts with the camera is a parody of the [[Wikipedia:Fatal Frame|Fatal Frame]] series of games, where you also reveal and defeat ghosts in a similar fashion.
*The Videlectrix Power magazine is a reference to the real-world [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Power|Nintendo Power]] magazine.
*The music and the jump celebration by Strong Bad after defeating Ultimate Trogdor may be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Final Fantasy|Final Fantasy Series]].
*The scene where Strong Bad wakes up and tells everybody they were in his dream is a parody of the ending scene from ''[[The Wizard of Oz]]''.
*Strong Bad calling Strong Sad a "dumpla-lumpa" references the Oompa Loompas, the little men that work for [[Wikipedia:Willy Wonka|Willy Wonka]].
*When trying to use the Lappy during the Redcoat Ghost Patrol minigame, Strong Bad declines, saying that he "might get sucked into the screen or something". This is a possible reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Poltergeist (film)|Poltergeist]]''.
*Asking about Stinkoman's robot boots will unleash a diatribe ending with "And I can kick!", which is taken from an infamous 1987 [[Wikipedia:Late Night With David Letterman|Late Night With David Letterman]] interview with [[Wikipedia:Crispin Glover|Crispin Glover]] which also featured large shoes.
*Sometimes when Strong Bad is kicked out of the house by the redcoat ghost, Homestar will pop up and say "The ghosts are coming from inside the house!", a reference to the movie "When a Stranger Calls".

'''8-Bit is Enough''' is the fifth and final Episode of [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]], Season One. Written by Chuck Jordan, Mike Stemmle, Mark Darin and [[The Brothers Chaps]]. Rated E10+ for [[alcohol]] and [[tobacco]] reference, comic mischief, mild cartoon violence, and mild suggestive themes by the ESRB.

When Strong <strike>Bad's</strike> [[Blatant Lies|Sad's]] botched-up stunt damages the [[TROGDOR!|Trogdor Arcade Machine]], [[Trogdor]] makes his debut, doing what he does best: burninating the countryside! What's more, other 8-bit games are leaking into the real world, throwing [[Free Country, USA]] into chaos! Only [[Strong Bad|High Lord Awesome]] can take back the night and conquer this scorching menace, once and for all! Only question is: anybody know how to kill a dragon?

==Preview Transcript==
[[Image:TrogdorintheBasement.png|thumb|"Aw, crapsicles!"]]
''{"in the next episode of STRONG BAD'S COOL GAME FOR ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE" is displayed in the [[Fonts#Joystix|Joystix font]]. Cut to the back of the television, with a short bit of dramatic music. Pan up to show Strong Bad on the couch, playing Space Circus Catastrophe, with the music also heard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ha-ha! Missed me! ''{Puts down the controller, squints his eyes}'' Aw, crapsicles.

''{ Stinkoman pops up from behind the veiwer's left side of the couch, Strong Bad looks at him}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Ha ha ha ha! ''{Stinkoman points at Strong Bad}'' One day you'll get your baby turn! ''{Cut to a close up of Stinkoman}'' For babies! ''{The camera zooms in closer and angles in on Stinkoman}'' Who have a turn!

''{Cut back to couch. Strong Bad is still squinting his eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Tilts his head down}'' Okay! Man, ''{Tilts his head up}'' shut up!

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{Drops back down and reappears on the other side of the couch, with his shoulders shrugging, Strong Bad looks at him}'' YOU shut up! You're dumb! ''{Stinkoman lowers his shoulders. Strong Bad lowers his eyelids.}'' And your head is wide ''{Stinkoman makes a distance with his hands.}'' like the river! ''{Points at Strong Bad. Strong Bad looks away from him, eyelids still lowered}'' You have the river head! ''{While laughing, he appears on the left side of the couch, then the top of the screen, then the bottom right corner of the screen, and last the bottom-left-center corner of the screen.}'' Ha ha ha ha!

''{The 8-Bit Is Enough logo appears on a swirling kamikaze background with a shing sound effect. An orchestra-themed music plays. Strong Bad and Stinkoman collide in the center of the screen, replacing the logo with "STRONG BAD'S COOL GAME FOR ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE" and with "New episode every month!" in yellow in Joystix as in a black strip in the same swirling kamikaze background. The screen goes black. Thunder and brief glimpses reveal Trogdor. Trogdor roars. The Trogdor theme from the Peasant's Quest plays. There is then a cut to Stinkoman and Trogdor on the couch. Trogdor is holding the Fun Machine controller in his beefy arm. Stinkoman is laughing inaudibly, and Trogdor is roaring. There is a pan left, to see Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, anybody know how to kill a dragon?

''{Cut to a black screen, fading in the text "www.telltalegames.com" or "Play it on WiiWare" in Joystix. "www.telltalegames.com" appears on the PC version or on the online video, while "Play it on WiiWare" will be shown on the Wii version.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Shovelware|Shovelware]] is low quality, quickly ported or programed computer programs, usually done to capitalize on a trend or make a quick profit.
*In the intro, Strong Sad says that the arcade game's fan needs to be serviced, and Strong Bad asks where he can find any fan service. [[Wikipedia:Fanservice|Fanservice]] is content added mainly to please the fans. It is quite appropriate, then, that Trogdor starts to break out of the arcade immediately after Strong Bad's question.
*"Yatta!" is a Japanese word which means "I did it!", or "All right!" in English.
*Placing a pineapple slice in gelatin will cause the gelatin to dissolve.

===Trivia===
*This is the only episode to lack [[Pom Pom]]; since [[Homsar]] is also missing, this means that this episode has the fewest main characters at 10; all of the others had 11 or 12.
*This and [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]] are the only two episodes to happen on the same day.
**Despite this, there is a calendar on the [[Computer Room]] wall despite the fact it was missing from the present-day opening of Dangeresque 3.

===Remarks===
*In the preview for this episode, Strong Bad has a black outline, and his arms look oddly deformed for some reason.
*Even in extended play, you cannot go outside with a costume in this episode.
**This is likely because you will become Rather Dashing if you visit Peasantry in Extended Play.
*When the difficulty slider is set to "high" but the lever hasn't been pulled to make Professor Pineapple shoot fruit in Gel-Arshie's Pro Fruitboarder, there is a steady stream of pineapple slices, but no other changes to the game. However, when both are set, there is an extremely high amount of fruit even discounting the fruit Professor Pineapple shoots.
*If you click the main menu button near the peasants running around at the inn they turn around and look at you.
*In Stinkoman 20X6, extra lives appear as multiple Stinkomans(one per life). However, in the actual Stinkoman 20X6 game, a Stinkoman head with a number next to it is used to list extra lives, rather than each extra life being represented by a Stinkoman clone.
*In the preview for this episode, both Stinkoman and Trogdor enter the real world, but only Trogdor enters the real world in the actual game.

===Goofs===
*During the credits, when RoboKingofTown is shown, he is not wearing the sunglasses he wore earlier in the game.
*Also during the credits, [[Nebulon]] is not shown even though the Space Clown and Algebraic Expression are.

===Glitches===
*The costume items from Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective, excluding the Dangeresque Glasses, are not available in the Snap Shak in the PC version, apparently due to a writing error in Episode 4.
*During the cutscene when Gel-Arshie is obtained, the Gel-Arshie game cartridge can be seen floating where The Cheat was holding it before the lights went out. It disappears after the game saves.
*Sometimes during the fight against Ultimate Trogdor, you cannot use a Peasant on the upper left-hand pedistal.
*In the Stinkoman 20X6 location, if you click the really tall ladder when it's built while on the starting platform, the cutscene will play and you'll be on the lower platform, next to the ladder. Clicking anywhere warps you back to the left edge of the starting platform.

===Inside References===
*Trogdor has previously appeared in Free Country USA in [[Trogday 08]].
*Stinkoman and Strong Bad previously met in the email [[alternate universe]] and Stinkoman also previously appeared in Free Country USA in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].

*References to the first four SBCG4AP episodes include:
**The [[Taranchula]] standee that Strong Bad "fights" in [[Strong Badia the Free]] returning, but without the fire and ice heads.
**Homestar stating that quarters taste like butterscotch, like he did in [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]] when the hole in the [[Strong Badia|Strong Borneo]] fence is examined in extended play.
**Strong Bad talking about the [[Fluffy Puff Jela-Ton]] he won during the Race to the End of the Race, a reference to [[Homestar Ruiner]].

**When the Limozeen [[The Space Machine|Space Machine]] picks up "Marzy-Kong", [[Larry]] exclaims, "Oh, crap! It's that crazy lady from the Battle of the Bands!!" as another reference to [[Baddest of the Bands]].
**Strong Bad mumbling, "[[Rhinofeeder]]", which he also mumbled in the beginning of [[Homestar Ruiner]].
**Trogdor claiming that he can't handle Strong Bad's style, which Strong Bad said that nobody could in [[Homestar Ruiner]], unless they are a pretty lady.
*The introductory narration is similar to the one used in [[fingers]]. The announcer of said introduction also appeared in the same email.
**Homestar also mispronounced "Previously" in [[DNA Evidence]].
*When Strong Bad goes through a video game portal, his last two transformations are [[Atari Strong Bad]] and [[Secret Collect.]] Strong Bad, respectively.
*[[Mr. Shmallow]] can be seen on the Pineapple Gun.
*Upon entering the Peasantry area, Strong Bad will remark on the game's status as "the best-selling video computer TV game of all time", as it was previously referred to as in [[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer]].
**Likewise, the music from the trailer plays as background music in Peasantry and at the final battle, and Rather Dashing speaks exactly as he does in the trailer.
*The [[wikipedia:Pitfall!|Pitfall!]] Scorpions from [[In Search of the Yello Dello]] return in Halfathlon.
*In addition to the four historical figures, the puzzle wheel in the Videlectrix Mainframe depicts Trogdor, the [[Jhonka]], [[Thy Dungeonman (character)|Thy Dungeonman]], and [[Kid Speedy]].
*The loading screen for the first-person segment reads "Get [[SBLOUNSKCHED]]!", a reference to [[candy product]].
*In Extended Play, when trying to get ye flask, the text on the bottom reads "[[seriously]], get ye flask".
*When Chorch gets angry, he says he will make Stinkoman wish he was never born. This phrase was mentioned in Chorch's description in the [[Stinkomanual]].
*Clicking on the pennants in Extended Play will show a credits sequence that mentions [[Cherry Greg]], [[A. Chimendez]], [[Lem Sportsinterviews|"Lem" Sportsinterviews]], [[Douglas]], [[Levert Burtmore]], [[The Deke]], and [[Dennis]], along with [[Strong Sad]] and [[The Cheat]].
*The "ultimate" form of Strong Bad was mentoned numerous times during the production of SBCG4AP, namely the [[SBCG4AP Advertisement]] and the [[SBCG4AP Dev Blog]]. Strong Bad complained numerous time about [[Telltale Games]] not using the "concept art", explaining Strong Bad's remark of "Whoa! They ''finally'' listened to me!"
**The concept art appears again during and after the credits.
*The final cutscene has an instance of [[couch mumbling]].
*Homestar previously ate coins (albeit more deliberately) in [[do over]].
*Homestar mentions his [[hremail]]s in one of the hints he gives.
*When Strong Bad first enters Stinkoman 20X6, he says, "Now I want to be the guy too.", paraphrasing [[1-Up]]'s line in [[japanese cartoon]]: "Everybody says you're the guy. But I wanna be the guy too!"
*On the title screen and during the credits, the music is an instrumental version of [[Please Stop Trying To Handle My Style]].
*The 8-bit lantern resembles the one in [[Peasant's Quest]].
*Strong Bad asks Strong Sad to "shut up [[nine times]]".
*The dual inclusion of the Roman helmet and Old Timey [[Free Country, USA]] background in the photo booth may refer to an Easter egg in [[highschool]].

===Real-World References===
*The title is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Eight Is Enough|Eight Is Enough]], a television comedy-drama from the late 1970s and early '80s.
*Lady Crate Ape is a take off of [[Donkey Kong]], possibly, in the same trend as [[Wikipedia:Ms_pacman |Ms. Pacman]].
**When Marzipan is possessed by the spirit of the game, her expression is similar to Kong's expression on the original video game cabinet. Strong Bad also frequently refers to her as "Marzy-Kong".
**The way the portions of the scaffolding are put together and fall down when she stomps on the roof mimics the way the game begins in most versions, minus the part where the entire thing collapses.
*Strong Bad complains about taking a [[Wikipedia:The Color Purple|''The Color Purple'']] personality quiz when answering an email.
*Strong Bad climbing the vine with the smiling cloud on the Awesomeness screen is modeled after [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 2|Super Mario Bros. 2]].
**Similarly, the bushes with eyes in the intro screen are another reference to the ''[[Mario]]'' series.
**Homestar saying "Hurray! You win! Ptoo! Ptoo!" could also be a reference to Mario, because when you win a level in [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]], fireworks would go off with a similar sound.
**When Strong Bad first enters Peasantry, he assumes hitting his head on things will make coins come out, a reference to the theme of making coins come out of blocks by jumping into them in said series.
***This could also refer to the act of somersaulting into trees to get various objects in [[The Legend of Zelda]] series, also by [[Nintendo]].
**The music and appearance of the ghosts haunting the House of Strong (particularly the ghosts flying out the front when outside) is reminiscent of the ghost houses in [[Wikipedia:Super Mario World|Super Mario World]].
*Some of the games depicted on the Awesomeness screen are [[Wikipedia:Pong|Pong]], [[Wikipedia:Tetris|Tetris]], and [[Wikipedia:Asteroids (video game)|Asteroids]].
*At one point, Gel-Arshie says "Hi! I'm Gel-Arshie!" in exactly the same way Hugh Bliss says his catchphrase "Hi! I'm Hugh Bliss!" in ''[[Wikipedia:Sam And Max Episode 102: Situation: Comedy|Sam And Max Episode 102: Situation: Comedy]]''.
*"The ladder is a lie" may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Portal (video game)|Portal]], where the phrase "the cake is a lie" is written all around the testing facility.
*Homestar mentions that he used his lucky quarter to beat [[Wikipedia:Street Fighter|Street Masher]], [[Wikipedia:Street Fighter 2|Street Masher 2]], and [[Wikipedia:Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo|Street Masher 2: Slightly Different Costumes Edition]]; these games seem to be based on the [[Street Fighter]] series, and indeed, ''Street Fighter II'' was infamous for having many minor variations before ''Street Fighter III'' came out.
*Homestar will, at one point, pop up and say "Hey! Listen!" He does so in the same fashion as Navi in [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time]].
**The locked door at the end of the game is similar to the locked doors in Ocarina of Time, too.
*If Strong Bad shoots at a ghost in The Field and misses, The Cheat pops up to laugh at him. This is similar to [[Wikipedia:Duck Hunt|Duck Hunt]], where the player's hunting dog does the same.
*Strong Sad saying "You shall not pass!" is a reference to Gandalf's confrontation with the Balrog in [[Wikipedia:The Lord of the Rings|Fellowship of the Ring]].
*Also, Strong Sad's line "Abandon all hope, ye who enter" is a reference to what is written above the entrance to the gates of Hell in Dante's epic poem [[Wikipedia:Divine_Comedy|The Divine Comedy]].
*The first person section is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Wolfenstein 3D|Wolfenstein 3D]] by iD Software; the King of Town's appearance and death speech are references to that game's depiction of Hitler.
**In addition, the name of the castle where this takes place is "Castle Poopenstein".
**When switching to first person perspective, Strong Bad says "Quake and fear". [[Wikipedia:Quake|Quake]] and [[Wikipedia:F.E.A.R.|F.E.A.R.]] are two popular first person shooters.
**In addition, the "Get Sblounskched" loading bar is from Wolfenstein 3D (in which it reads "Get Psyched!").
**The King of Town carries two machines guns, similar to the final boss in Wolfenstein 3D.
* The show that Strong Bad says on TV, "Videlectrix Saturday Mornideo Games", refers to the Saturday Morning cartoon series ''[[Wikipedia:Saturday Supercade|Saturday Supercade]]'' which aired on [[Wikipedia:CBS|CBS]] from 1983 to 1985.
*The words "ALL WORK AND NO FRUIT MAKES GEL-ARSHIE A DULL BOY" that fill up the TV screen after beating the Gel-Arshie game with the kill screen is a reference to the movie ''[[Wikipedia:The Shining (film)|The Shining]]''.
*Strong Bad looking through the TrogSword in 20X6 is a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Thundercats|Thundercats]]'', in particular Lion-O's transformation sequence. He also makes a reference to [[Wikipedia:He-Man|He-Man]] during this sequence.
**The TrogSword also looks very similar to Lion-O's sword with a symbol of Trogdor in the hilt instead of the Thundercats symbol.
*Several historical figures appear in the "Spirit of '76" game, including [[Wikipedia:John Hancock|John Hancock]], [[Wikipedia:Benjamin Franklin|Benjamin Franklin]], [[Wikipedia:Samuel Adams|Samuel Adams]], and [[Wikipedia:Paul Revere|Paul Revere]]. All figure significantly in the American Revolution.
**Samuel Adams saying he "probably invented beer" refers to the [[Wikipedia:Boston Beer Company|Samuel Adams]] brand of beer.
**When you give him the item, John Hancock says to make sure your family is insured, a reference to the [[Wikipedia:John Hancock Insurance|John Hancock Insurance]] company.
*Interacting with the mirror in the bathroom will make Strong Bad reference the [[Wikipedia:Bloody Mary (folklore)|Bloody Mary legend]].
*The Gel-Arshie portion of the game is likely a reference to [[Wikipedia:Cool Spot|Cool Spot]], a 1993 product placement game for 7-Up that featured its red mascot on a surf board.
*After using Gel-Arshie on the brick wall, he says the line "What's in the box?", a reference to the movie ''[[Wikipedia:Seven (film)|Se7en]]''.
*The "Bloodstone" in Trogdor's Lair is a reference to the game [[Wikipedia:Return to Krondor|Return to Krondor]], in which there is a "Nightstone" that casts everything in red light and reveals a hidden place, which holds the secret to destroying your enemy forever.
*Strong Bad's remark about the peasants starting a commune is a reference to [[Monty Python|''Monty Python and the Holy Grail'']], specifically the scene in which Dennis explains that he and his fellow peasants are an [[wikipedia:Anarcho-syndicalism|anarcho-syndicalist]] commune.
*When Strong Mad is in Halfathalon, he will exclaim "[[Wikipedia:Glasnost|GLASNOST]]! [[Wikipedia:Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn|SOLZHENITSYN]]!"
**When Strong Bad responds, his pronunciation of "Puttin'" likely refers to [[Russia|Russian]] president, [[Wikipedia:Vladamir Putin|Vladamir Putin]].
**"Zhivago" is a reference to [[wikipedia:Doctor Zhivago|Doctor Zhivago]].
*When Strong Bad gives the trophy to Strong Mad, he says "ich bin ein [[donut]]". This is an obvious variant of [[Wikipedia:Ich bin ein Berliner|Ich bin ein Berliner]]. Furthermore, it is a play on the urban legend that the [[German]] phrase means "I am a jelly donut."
*When entering Peasantry from the Videlectrix Mainframe any time after solving the code wheel, Strong Bad says, "Load p-quest comma eight comma one" referencing LOAD“FILE”,8,1 the command needed to load games and programs into many [[Wikipedia:Commodore International|Commodore]] computers.
*When summoning Boxer Joe, Strong Bad sometimes says "Round 1, FIGHT!" the same way the announcer does in [[Mortal Kombat]].
*When Strong Bad finally uses the performing bear, he shouts "I choose you." This is a clear reference to [[Pokémon]].
*In the game's music files, Halfathlon is referred to as [[Wikipedia:Summer Games|Summer Games]].
*"The Videlectrix Halfathalon" title mimics the similarly named The Activision Decathalon.
*The box art for Mista Fixit is modeled after the "album cover" boxes of early [[Wikipedia:Electronic Arts|Electronic Arts]], complete with an incorporation of the company's logo into the artwork.
*Revealing the ghosts with the camera is a parody of the [[Wikipedia:Fatal Frame|Fatal Frame]] series of games, where you also reveal and defeat ghosts in a similar fashion.
*The Videlectrix Power magazine is a reference to the real-world [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Power|Nintendo Power]] magazine.
*The music and the jump celebration by Strong Bad after defeating Ultimate Trogdor may be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Final Fantasy|Final Fantasy Series]].
*The scene where Strong Bad wakes up and tells everybody they were in his dream is a parody of the ending scene from ''[[The Wizard of Oz]]''.
*Strong Bad calling Strong Sad a "dumpla-lumpa" references the Oompa Loompas, the little men that work for [[Wikipedia:Willy Wonka|Willy Wonka]].
*When trying to use the Lappy during the Redcoat Ghost Patrol minigame, Strong Bad declines, saying that he "might get sucked into the screen or something". This is a possible reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Poltergeist (film)|Poltergeist]]''.
*Asking about Stinkoman's robot boots will unleash a diatribe ending with "And I can kick!", which is taken from an infamous 1987 [[Wikipedia:Late Night With David Letterman|Late Night With David Letterman]] interview with [[Wikipedia:Crispin Glover|Crispin Glover]] which also featured large shoes.
*Sometimes when Strong Bad is kicked out of the house by the redcoat ghost, Homestar will pop up and say "The ghosts are coming from inside the house!", a reference to the movie "When a Stranger Calls".

[[Image:Sbcg4ap105 235x225.png|125px|left]][[Image:8-Bit is Enough Logo.png|125px|left]]
'''8-Bit is Enough''' is the fifth and final Episode of [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]], Season One. Written by Chuck Jordan, Mike Stemmle, Mark Darin and [[The Brothers Chaps]]. Rated E10+ for [[alcohol]] and [[tobacco]] reference, comic mischief, mild cartoon violence, and mild suggestive themes by the ESRB.

When Strong <strike>Bad's</strike> [[Blatant Lies|Sad's]] botched-up stunt damages the [[TROGDOR!|Trogdor Arcade Machine]], [[Trogdor]] makes his debut, doing what he does best: burninating the countryside! What's more, other 8-bit games are leaking into the real world, throwing [[Free Country, USA]] into chaos! Only [[Strong Bad|High Lord Awesome]] can take back the night and conquer this scorching menace, once and for all! Only question is: anybody know how to kill a dragon?

A brief trailer for this episode is included in [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]].

==Preview Transcript==
[[Image:TrogdorintheBasement.png|thumb|"Aw, crapsicles!"]]
''{"in the next episode of STRONG BAD'S COOL GAME FOR ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE" is displayed in the [[Fonts#Joystix|Joystix font]]. Cut to the back of the television, with a short bit of dramatic music. Pan up to show Strong Bad on the couch, playing Space Circus Catastrophe, with the music also heard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ha-ha! Missed me! ''{Puts down the controller, squints his eyes}'' Aw, crapsicles.

''{ Stinkoman pops up from behind the veiwer's left side of the couch, Strong Bad looks at him}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Ha ha ha ha! ''{Stinkoman points at Strong Bad}'' One day you'll get your baby turn! ''{Cut to a close up of Stinkoman}'' For babies! ''{The camera zooms in closer and angles in on Stinkoman}'' Who have a turn!

''{Cut back to couch. Strong Bad is still squinting his eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Tilts his head down}'' Okay! Man, ''{Tilts his head up}'' shut up!

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{Drops back down and reappears on the other side of the couch, with his shoulders shrugging, Strong Bad looks at him}'' YOU shut up! You're dumb! ''{Stinkoman lowers his shoulders. Strong Bad lowers his eyelids.}'' And your head is wide ''{Stinkoman makes a distance with his hands.}'' like the river! ''{Points at Strong Bad. Strong Bad looks away from him, eyelids still lowered}'' You have the river head! ''{While laughing, he appears on the left side of the couch, then the top of the screen, then the bottom right corner of the screen, and last the bottom-left-center corner of the screen.}'' Ha ha ha ha!

''{The 8-Bit Is Enough logo appears on a swirling kamikaze background with a shing sound effect. An orchestra-themed music plays. Strong Bad and Stinkoman collide in the center of the screen, replacing the logo with "STRONG BAD'S COOL GAME FOR ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE" and with "New episode every month!" in yellow in Joystix as in a black strip in the same swirling kamikaze background. The screen goes black. Thunder and brief glimpses reveal Trogdor. Trogdor roars. The Trogdor theme from the Peasant's Quest plays. There is then a cut to Stinkoman and Trogdor on the couch. Trogdor is holding the Fun Machine controller in his beefy arm. Stinkoman is laughing inaudibly, and Trogdor is roaring. There is a pan left, to see Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, anybody know how to kill a dragon?

''{Cut to a black screen, fading in the text "www.telltalegames.com" or "Play it on WiiWare" in Joystix. "www.telltalegames.com" appears on the PC version or on the online video, while "Play it on WiiWare" will be shown on the Wii version.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Shovelware|Shovelware]] is low quality, quickly ported or programed computer programs, usually done to capitalize on a trend or make a quick profit.
*In the intro, Strong Sad says that the arcade game's fan needs to be serviced, and Strong Bad asks where he can find any fan service. [[Wikipedia:Fanservice|Fanservice]] is content added mainly to please the fans. It is quite appropriate, then, that Trogdor starts to break out of the arcade immediately after Strong Bad's question.
*"Yatta!" is a Japanese word which means "I did it!", or "All right!" in English.
*Placing a pineapple slice in gelatin will cause the gelatin to dissolve.

===Trivia===
*This is the only episode to lack [[Pom Pom]]; since [[Homsar]] is also missing, this means that this episode has the fewest main characters at 10; all of the others had 11 or 12.
*This and [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]] are the only two episodes to happen on the same day.
**Despite this, there is a calendar on the [[Computer Room]] wall despite the fact it was missing from the present-day opening of Dangeresque 3.

===Remarks===
*In the preview for this episode, Strong Bad has a black outline, and his arms look oddly deformed for some reason.
*Even in extended play, you cannot go outside with a costume in this episode.
**This is likely because you will become Rather Dashing if you visit Peasantry in Extended Play.
*When the difficulty slider is set to "high" but the lever hasn't been pulled to make Professor Pineapple shoot fruit in Gel-Arshie's Pro Fruitboarder, there is a steady stream of pineapple slices, but no other changes to the game. However, when both are set, there is an extremely high amount of fruit even discounting the fruit Professor Pineapple shoots.
*If you click the main menu button near the peasants running around at the inn they turn around and look at you.
*In Stinkoman 20X6, extra lives appear as multiple Stinkomans(one per life). However, in the actual Stinkoman 20X6 game, a Stinkoman head with a number next to it is used to list extra lives, rather than each extra life being represented by a Stinkoman clone.
*In the preview for this episode, both Stinkoman and Trogdor enter the real world, but only Trogdor enters the real world in the actual game.

===Goofs===
*During the credits, when RoboKingofTown is shown, he is not wearing the sunglasses he wore earlier in the game.
*Also during the credits, [[Nebulon]] is not shown even though the Space Clown and Algebraic Expression are.

===Glitches===
*The costume items from Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective, excluding the Dangeresque Glasses, are not available in the Snap Shak in the PC version, apparently due to a writing error in Episode 4.
*During the cutscene when Gel-Arshie is obtained, the Gel-Arshie game cartridge can be seen floating where The Cheat was holding it before the lights went out. It disappears after the game saves.
*Sometimes during the fight against Ultimate Trogdor, you cannot use a Peasant on the upper left-hand pedistal.
*In the Stinkoman 20X6 location, if you click the really tall ladder when it's built while on the starting platform, the cutscene will play and you'll be on the lower platform, next to the ladder. Clicking anywhere warps you back to the left edge of the starting platform.

===Real-World References===
*The title is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Eight Is Enough|Eight Is Enough]], a television comedy-drama from the late 1970s and early '80s.
*Lady Crate Ape is a take off of [[Donkey Kong]], possibly, in the same trend as [[Wikipedia:Ms_pacman |Ms. Pacman]].
**When Marzipan is possessed by the spirit of the game, her expression is similar to Kong's expression on the original video game cabinet. Strong Bad also frequently refers to her as "Marzy-Kong".
**The way the portions of the scaffolding are put together and fall down when she stomps on the roof mimics the way the game begins in most versions, minus the part where the entire thing collapses.
*Strong Bad complains about taking a [[Wikipedia:The Color Purple|''The Color Purple'']] personality quiz when answering an email.
*Strong Bad climbing the vine with the smiling cloud on the Awesomeness screen is modeled after [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 2|Super Mario Bros. 2]].
**Similarly, the bushes with eyes in the intro screen are another reference to the ''[[Mario]]'' series.
**Homestar saying "Hurray! You win! Ptoo! Ptoo!" could also be a reference to Mario, because when you win a level in [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]], fireworks would go off with a similar sound.
**When Strong Bad first enters Peasantry, he assumes hitting his head on things will make coins come out, a reference to the theme of making coins come out of blocks by jumping into them in said series.
***This could also refer to the act of somersaulting into trees to get various objects in [[The Legend of Zelda]] series, also by [[Nintendo]].
**The music and appearance of the ghosts haunting the House of Strong (particularly the ghosts flying out the front when outside) is reminiscent of the ghost houses in [[Wikipedia:Super Mario World|Super Mario World]].

*At one point, Gel-Arshie says "Hi! I'm Gel-Arshie!" in exactly the same way Hugh Bliss says his catchphrase "Hi! I'm Hugh Bliss!" in ''[[Wikipedia:Sam And Max Episode 102: Situation: Comedy|Sam And Max Episode 102: Situation: Comedy]]''.
*"The ladder is a lie" may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Portal (video game)|Portal]], where the phrase "the cake is a lie" is written all around the testing facility.
*Homestar mentions that he used his lucky quarter to beat [[Wikipedia:Street Fighter|Street Masher]], [[Wikipedia:Street Fighter 2|Street Masher 2]], and [[Wikipedia:Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo|Street Masher 2: Slightly Different Costumes Edition]]; these games seem to be based on the [[Street Fighter]] series, and indeed, ''Street Fighter II'' was infamous for having many minor variations before ''Street Fighter III'' came out.
*Homestar will, at one point, pop up and say "Hey! Listen!" He does so in the same fashion as Navi in [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time]].
**The locked door at the end of the game is similar to the locked doors in Ocarina of Time, too.
*If Strong Bad shoots at a ghost in The Field and misses, The Cheat pops up to laugh at him. This is similar to [[Wikipedia:Duck Hunt|Duck Hunt]], where the player's hunting dog does the same.
*Strong Sad saying "You shall not pass!" is a reference to Gandalf's confrontation with the Balrog in [[Wikipedia:The Lord of the Rings|Fellowship of the Ring]].
*Also, Strong Sad's line "Abandon all hope, ye who enter" is a reference to what is written above the entrance to the gates of Hell in Dante's epic poem [[Wikipedia:Divine_Comedy|The Divine Comedy]].
*The first person section is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Wolfenstein 3D|Wolfenstein 3D]] by iD Software; the King of Town's appearance and death speech are references to that game's depiction of Hitler.
**In addition, the name of the castle where this takes place is "Castle Poopenstein".
**When switching to first person perspective, Strong Bad says "Quake and fear". [[Wikipedia:Quake|Quake]] and [[Wikipedia:F.E.A.R.|F.E.A.R.]] are two popular first person shooters.
**In addition, the "Get Sblounskched" loading bar is from Wolfenstein 3D (in which it reads "Get Psyched!").
**The King of Town carries two machines guns, similar to the final boss in Wolfenstein 3D.
* The show that Strong Bad says on TV, "Videlectrix Saturday Mornideo Games", refers to the Saturday Morning cartoon series ''[[Wikipedia:Saturday Supercade|Saturday Supercade]]'' which aired on [[Wikipedia:CBS|CBS]] from 1983 to 1985.
*The words "ALL WORK AND NO FRUIT MAKES GEL-ARSHIE A DULL BOY" that fill up the TV screen after beating the Gel-Arshie game with the kill screen is a reference to the movie ''[[Wikipedia:The Shining (film)|The Shining]]''.
*Strong Bad looking through the TrogSword in 20X6 is a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Thundercats|Thundercats]]'', in particular Lion-O's transformation sequence. He also makes a reference to [[Wikipedia:He-Man|He-Man]] during this sequence.
**The TrogSword also looks very similar to Lion-O's sword with a symbol of Trogdor in the hilt instead of the Thundercats symbol.
*Several historical figures appear in the "Spirit of '76" game, including [[Wikipedia:John Hancock|John Hancock]], [[Wikipedia:Benjamin Franklin|Benjamin Franklin]], [[Wikipedia:Samuel Adams|Samuel Adams]], and [[Wikipedia:Paul Revere|Paul Revere]]. All figure significantly in the American Revolution.
**Samuel Adams saying he "probably invented beer" refers to the [[Wikipedia:Boston Beer Company|Samuel Adams]] brand of beer.
**When you give him the item, John Hancock says to make sure your family is insured, a reference to the [[Wikipedia:John Hancock Insurance|John Hancock Insurance]] company.
*Interacting with the mirror in the bathroom will make Strong Bad reference the [[Wikipedia:Bloody Mary (folklore)|Bloody Mary legend]].
*The Gel-Arshie portion of the game is likely a reference to [[Wikipedia:Cool Spot|Cool Spot]], a 1993 product placement game for 7-Up that featured its red mascot on a surf board.
*After using Gel-Arshie on the brick wall, he says the line "What's in the box?", a reference to the movie ''[[Wikipedia:Seven (film)|Se7en]]''.
*The "Bloodstone" in Trogdor's Lair is a reference to the game [[Wikipedia:Return to Krondor|Return to Krondor]], in which there is a "Nightstone" that casts everything in red light and reveals a hidden place, which holds the secret to destroying your enemy forever.
*Strong Bad's remark about the peasants starting a commune is a reference to [[Monty Python|''Monty Python and the Holy Grail'']], specifically the scene in which Dennis explains that he and his fellow peasants are an [[wikipedia:Anarcho-syndicalism|anarcho-syndicalist]] commune.
*When Strong Mad is in Halfathalon, he will exclaim "[[Wikipedia:Glasnost|GLASNOST]]! [[Wikipedia:Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn|SOLZHENITSYN]]!"
**When Strong Bad responds, his pronunciation of "Puttin'" likely refers to [[Russia|Russian]] president, [[Wikipedia:Vladamir Putin|Vladamir Putin]].
**"Zhivago" is a reference to [[wikipedia:Doctor Zhivago|Doctor Zhivago]].
*When Strong Bad gives the trophy to Strong Mad, he says "ich bin ein [[donut]]". This is an obvious variant of [[Wikipedia:Ich bin ein Berliner|Ich bin ein Berliner]]. Furthermore, it is a play on the urban legend that the [[German]] phrase means "I am a jelly donut."
*When entering Peasantry from the Videlectrix Mainframe any time after solving the code wheel, Strong Bad says, "Load p-quest comma eight comma one" referencing LOAD“FILE”,8,1 the command needed to load games and programs into many [[Wikipedia:Commodore International|Commodore]] computers.
*When summoning Boxer Joe, Strong Bad sometimes says "Round 1, FIGHT!" the same way the announcer does in [[Mortal Kombat]].
*When Strong Bad finally uses the performing bear, he shouts "I choose you." This is a clear reference to [[Pokémon]].
*In the game's music files, Halfathlon is referred to as [[Wikipedia:Summer Games|Summer Games]].
*"The Videlectrix Halfathalon" title mimics the similarly named The Activision Decathalon.
*The box art for Mista Fixit is modeled after the "album cover" boxes of early [[Wikipedia:Electronic Arts|Electronic Arts]], complete with an incorporation of the company's logo into the artwork.
*Revealing the ghosts with the camera is a parody of the [[Wikipedia:Fatal Frame|Fatal Frame]] series of games, where you also reveal and defeat ghosts in a similar fashion.
*The Videlectrix Power magazine is a reference to the real-world [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Power|Nintendo Power]] magazine.
*The music and the jump celebration by Strong Bad after defeating Ultimate Trogdor may be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Final Fantasy|Final Fantasy Series]].
*The scene where Strong Bad wakes up and tells everybody they were in his dream is a parody of the ending scene from ''[[The Wizard of Oz]]''.
*Strong Bad calling Strong Sad a "dumpla-lumpa" references the Oompa Loompas, the little men that work for [[Wikipedia:Willy Wonka|Willy Wonka]].
*When trying to use the Lappy during the Redcoat Ghost Patrol minigame, Strong Bad declines, saying that he "might get sucked into the screen or something". This is a possible reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Poltergeist (film)|Poltergeist]]''.
*Asking about Stinkoman's robot boots will unleash a diatribe ending with "And I can kick!", which is taken from an infamous 1987 [[Wikipedia:Late Night With David Letterman|Late Night With David Letterman]] interview with [[Wikipedia:Crispin Glover|Crispin Glover]] which also featured large shoes.
*Sometimes when Strong Bad is kicked out of the house by the redcoat ghost, Homestar will pop up and say "The ghosts are coming from inside the house!", a reference to the movie "When a Stranger Calls".

[[Image:Sbcg4ap105 235x225.png|125px|left]][[Image:8-Bit is Enough Logo.png|125px|left]]
'''8-Bit is Enough''' is the fifth and final Episode of [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]], Season One. Written by Chuck Jordan, Mike Stemmle, Mark Darin and [[The Brothers Chaps]]. Rated E10+ for [[alcohol]] and [[tobacco]] reference, comic mischief, mild cartoon violence, and mild suggestive themes by the ESRB.

When Strong <strike>Bad's</strike> [[Blatant Lies|Sad's]] botched-up stunt damages the [[TROGDOR!|Trogdor Arcade Machine]], [[Trogdor]] makes his debut, doing what he does best: burninating the countryside! What's more, other 8-bit games are leaking into the real world, throwing [[Free Country, USA]] into chaos! Only [[Strong Bad|High Lord Awesome]] can take back the night and conquer this scorching menace, once and for all! Only question is: anybody know how to kill a dragon?

A brief trailer for this episode is included in [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]].

==Preview Transcript==
[[Image:TrogdorintheBasement.png|thumb|"Aw, crapsicles!"]]
''{"in the next episode of STRONG BAD'S COOL GAME FOR ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE" is displayed in the [[Fonts#Joystix|Joystix font]]. Cut to the back of the television, with a short bit of dramatic music. Pan up to show Strong Bad on the couch, playing Space Circus Catastrophe, with the music also heard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ha-ha! Missed me! ''{Puts down the controller, squints his eyes}'' Aw, crapsicles.

''{ Stinkoman pops up from behind the veiwer's left side of the couch, Strong Bad looks at him}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Ha ha ha ha! ''{Stinkoman points at Strong Bad}'' One day you'll get your baby turn! ''{Cut to a close up of Stinkoman}'' For babies! ''{The camera zooms in closer and angles in on Stinkoman}'' Who have a turn!

''{Cut back to couch. Strong Bad is still squinting his eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Tilts his head down}'' Okay! Man, ''{Tilts his head up}'' shut up!

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{Drops back down and reappears on the other side of the couch, with his shoulders shrugging, Strong Bad looks at him}'' YOU shut up! You're dumb! ''{Stinkoman lowers his shoulders. Strong Bad lowers his eyelids.}'' And your head is wide ''{Stinkoman makes a distance with his hands.}'' like the river! ''{Points at Strong Bad. Strong Bad looks away from him, eyelids still lowered}'' You have the river head! ''{While laughing, he appears on the left side of the couch, then the top of the screen, then the bottom right corner of the screen, and last the bottom-left-center corner of the screen.}'' Ha ha ha ha!

''{The 8-Bit Is Enough logo appears on a swirling kamikaze background with a shing sound effect. An orchestra-themed music plays. Strong Bad and Stinkoman collide in the center of the screen, replacing the logo with "STRONG BAD'S COOL GAME FOR ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE" and with "New episode every month!" in yellow in Joystix as in a black strip in the same swirling kamikaze background. The screen goes black. Thunder and brief glimpses reveal Trogdor. Trogdor roars. The Trogdor theme from the Peasant's Quest plays. There is then a cut to Stinkoman and Trogdor on the couch. Trogdor is holding the Fun Machine controller in his beefy arm. Stinkoman is laughing inaudibly, and Trogdor is roaring. There is a pan left, to see Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, anybody know how to kill a dragon?

''{Cut to a black screen, fading in the text "www.telltalegames.com" or "Play it on WiiWare" in Joystix. "www.telltalegames.com" appears on the PC version or on the online video, while "Play it on WiiWare" will be shown on the Wii version.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Shovelware|Shovelware]] is low quality, quickly ported or programed computer programs, usually done to capitalize on a trend or make a quick profit.
*In the intro, Strong Sad says that the arcade game's fan needs to be serviced, and Strong Bad asks where he can find any fan service. [[Wikipedia:Fanservice|Fanservice]] is content added mainly to please the fans. It is quite appropriate, then, that Trogdor starts to break out of the arcade immediately after Strong Bad's question.
*"Yatta!" is a Japanese word which means "I did it!", or "All right!" in English.
*Placing a pineapple slice in gelatin will cause the gelatin to dissolve.

===Trivia===
*This is the only episode to lack [[Pom Pom]]; since [[Homsar]] is also missing, this means that this episode has the fewest main characters at 10; all of the others had 11 or 12.
*This and [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]] are the only two episodes to happen on the same day.
**Despite this, there is a calendar on the [[Computer Room]] wall despite the fact it was missing from the present-day opening of Dangeresque 3.

===Remarks===
*In the preview for this episode, Strong Bad has a black outline, and his arms look oddly deformed for some reason.
*Even in extended play, you cannot go outside with a costume in this episode.
**This is likely because you will become Rather Dashing if you visit Peasantry in Extended Play.
*When the difficulty slider is set to "high" but the lever hasn't been pulled to make Professor Pineapple shoot fruit in Gel-Arshie's Pro Fruitboarder, there is a steady stream of pineapple slices, but no other changes to the game. However, when both are set, there is an extremely high amount of fruit even discounting the fruit Professor Pineapple shoots.
*If you click the main menu button near the peasants running around at the inn they turn around and look at you.
*In Stinkoman 20X6, extra lives appear as multiple Stinkomans(one per life). However, in the actual Stinkoman 20X6 game, a Stinkoman head with a number next to it is used to list extra lives, rather than each extra life being represented by a Stinkoman clone.
*In the preview for this episode, both Stinkoman and Trogdor enter the real world, but only Trogdor enters the real world in the actual game.

===Goofs===
*During the credits, when RoboKingofTown is shown, he is not wearing the sunglasses he wore earlier in the game.
*Also during the credits, [[Nebulon]] is not shown even though the Space Clown and Algebraic Expression are.

===Glitches===
*The costume items from Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective, excluding the Dangeresque Glasses, are not available in the Snap Shak in the PC version, apparently due to a writing error in Episode 4.
*During the cutscene when Gel-Arshie is obtained, the Gel-Arshie game cartridge can be seen floating where The Cheat was holding it before the lights went out. It disappears after the game saves.
*Sometimes during the fight against Ultimate Trogdor, you cannot use a Peasant on the upper left-hand pedistal.
*In the Stinkoman 20X6 location, if you click the really tall ladder when it's built while on the starting platform, the cutscene will play and you'll be on the lower platform, next to the ladder. Clicking anywhere warps you back to the left edge of the starting platform.

===Inside References===
*Trogdor has previously appeared in Free Country USA in [[Trogday 08]].
*Stinkoman and Strong Bad previously met in the email [[alternate universe]] and Stinkoman also previously appeared in Free Country USA in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].
**Stinkoman also insulted Strong Bad in [[alternate universe]], saying he has a big nose.
*References to the first four SBCG4AP episodes include:
**The [[Taranchula]] standee that Strong Bad "fights" in [[Strong Badia the Free]] returning, but without the fire and ice heads.
**Homestar stating that quarters taste like butterscotch, like he did in [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]] when the hole in the [[Strong Badia|Strong Borneo]] fence is examined in extended play.
**Strong Bad talking about the [[Fluffy Puff Jela-Ton]] he won during the Race to the End of the Race, a reference to [[Homestar Ruiner]].

**Trogdor claiming that he can't handle Strong Bad's style, which Strong Bad said that nobody could in [[Homestar Ruiner]], unless they are a pretty lady.
*The introductory narration is similar to the one used in [[fingers]]. The announcer of said introduction also appeared in the same email.
**Homestar also mispronounced "Previously" in [[DNA Evidence]].
*When Strong Bad goes through a video game portal, his last two transformations are [[Atari Strong Bad]] and [[Secret Collect.]] Strong Bad, respectively.
*[[Mr. Shmallow]] can be seen on the Pineapple Gun.
*Upon entering the Peasantry area, Strong Bad will remark on the game's status as "the best-selling video computer TV game of all time", as it was previously referred to as in [[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer]].

*Lady Crate Ape is a take off of [[Donkey Kong]], possibly, in the same trend as [[Wikipedia:Ms_pacman |Ms. Pacman]].
**When Marzipan is possessed by the spirit of the game, her expression is similar to Kong's expression on the original video game cabinet. Strong Bad also frequently refers to her as "Marzy-Kong".
**The way the portions of the scaffolding are put together and fall down when she stomps on the roof mimics the way the game begins in most versions, minus the part where the entire thing collapses.
*Strong Bad complains about taking a [[Wikipedia:The Color Purple|''The Color Purple'']] personality quiz when answering an email.
*Strong Bad climbing the vine with the smiling cloud on the Awesomeness screen is modeled after [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 2|Super Mario Bros. 2]].
**Similarly, the bushes with eyes in the intro screen are another reference to the ''[[Mario]]'' series.
**Homestar saying "Hurray! You win! Ptoo! Ptoo!" could also be a reference to Mario, because when you win a level in [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]], fireworks would go off with a similar sound.
**When Strong Bad first enters Peasantry, he assumes hitting his head on things will make coins come out, a reference to the theme of making coins come out of blocks by jumping into them in said series.
***This could also refer to the act of somersaulting into trees to get various objects in [[The Legend of Zelda]] series, also by [[Nintendo]].
**The music and appearance of the ghosts haunting the House of Strong (particularly the ghosts flying out the front when outside) is reminiscent of the ghost houses in [[Wikipedia:Super Mario World|Super Mario World]].

*Homestar mentions that he used his lucky quarter to beat [[Wikipedia:Street Fighter|Street Masher]], [[Wikipedia:Street Fighter 2|Street Masher 2]], and [[Wikipedia:Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo|Street Masher 2: Slightly Different Costumes Edition]]; these games seem to be based on the [[Street Fighter]] series, and indeed, ''Street Fighter II'' was infamous for having many minor variations before ''Street Fighter III'' came out.

*The words "ALL WORK AND NO FRUIT MAKES GEL-ARSHIE A DULL BOY" that fill up the TV screen after beating the Gel-Arshie game with the kill screen is a reference to the movie ''[[Wikipedia:The Shining (film)|The Shining]]''.

*After using Gel-Arshie on the brick wall, he says the line "What's in the box?", a reference to the movie ''[[Wikipedia:Seven (film)|Se7en]]''.
*The "Bloodstone" in Trogdor's Lair is a reference to the game [[Wikipedia:Return to Krondor|Return to Krondor]], in which there is a "Nightstone" that casts everything in red light and reveals a hidden place, which holds the secret to destroying your enemy forever.

**"Zhivago" is a reference to [[wikipedia:Doctor Zhivago|Doctor Zhivago]].

*When entering Peasantry from the Videlectrix Mainframe any time after solving the code wheel, Strong Bad says, "Load p-quest comma eight comma one" referencing LOAD“FILE”,8,1 the command needed to load games and programs into many [[Wikipedia:Commodore International|Commodore]] computers.

*Asking about Stinkoman's robot boots will unleash a diatribe ending with "And I can kick!", which is taken from an infamous 1987 [[Wikipedia:Late Night With David Letterman|Late Night With David Letterman]] interview with [[Wikipedia:Crispin Glover|Crispin Glover]] which also featured large shoes.
*Sometimes when Strong Bad is kicked out of the house by the redcoat ghost, Homestar will pop up and say "The ghosts are coming from inside the house!", a reference to the movie "When a Stranger Calls".

[[Image:Movie trailer trogdor.JPG|thumb|Trogdor in his "real cave"]]
'''The Trog-Cave''' is the cave [[Trogdor]] lives in. The cave is first seen in [[Peasant's Quest Preview]], when it shows Trogdor burninating something and lightning strikes. Its first fully-explorable appearance is in [[Peasant's Quest]], where [[Rather Dashing]] confronts Trogdor. Unfortunately for him, this resulted in [[Glossary#B|burnination]]. [[The Three Keepers of Trogdor]] also live in the Trog-Cave. They each have their own part of the Trog-Cave. Strong Bad enters the cave in [[8-Bit is Enough]], where it looks like the King of Town's castle on the inside.

The "real" Trog-Cave seen in [[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer]] might be a background of a cave or a computer graphic design of a cave. The Trogdor in the Trog-Cave is a puppet.
