'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, okay. Mash play on that jambox.

''{The Cheat leaves}''

''{music starts to play, cuts to the Cheat holding an inflatable boom box, then to the Cheat's hand playing keyboard, then to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Everybody knows it.

''{Cuts to the Cheat's hand playing keyboard, then to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Everybody knows it.

''{The Cheat dances with Homestar, then Homestar is alone again.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Everybody knows it's true.

''{The Cheat dances with Homestar, then Homestar is alone again.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, yeah.

''{The Cheat dances with Homestar, then Homestar is alone again.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You gotta do the best you can.

== Easter Eggs ==
*On the old background, there were three links in the black area below the video. The text was the same color as the background (Click and drag to highlight.) They say "[[HR:puppet1.jpg|lookit me!]]", "[[HR:puppet2.jpg|no, me!]]", and "[[HR:puppet3.jpg|whu bout me?]]". Click on them and you would get some behind-the-scenes photos. (Note: To access this easter egg you must be watching the full page version of the toon, not the popup version from the website. The full page version is linked to at the bottom of the page.) It appears this easter egg can no longer be accessed.

== Fun Facts ==
*The glasses worn by Puppet Homestar are the "[[Homestar's Shades|cool shades]]" seen throughout the Homestar Runner website.
*This was originally called "Whoa! Puppets", and then "Puppet Thing", and now "Everybody Knows It".
*Homestar's song is a parody of public service shorts that ran during Saturday morning cartoons in the 1980s.
*This song was actually heard in [[labor day]] first, which is why Homestar's voice seems cut off.
*This was first put up as a Quicktime video, and then later as a Flash file, so people who didn't have Quicktime didn't need to install it.
*In the easter egg photos, the baseboards and windows seem to have blue painter's tape where they meet the wall, perhaps the walls were recently painted.

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

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

'''MIKE:''' Alright, so this is Mike and Ryan doing the commentary on this one.

'''RYAN:''' 'Tis true.

'''MIKE:''' Matt is on the phone with his wife so maybe if he gets off the phone, he'll join us. So this was the first puppet thing we did for the website.

'''RYAN:''' It was.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, Ryan, um- I guess this was pretty soon after you started working with us. Pretty quick. Um, we shot it in Matt's bedroom with a somewhat green walls to key it out.

'''RYAN:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Late at night.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, very late at night. So the keying out of the background was a little more difficult than usual. You can see Homestar Runner's propeller disappear a few times and-

'''RYAN:''' You can see things through the keyboard.

''{both laugh}''

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, the keyboard has lots of holes in it.

'''RYAN:''' I love that scene.

'''MIKE:''' But I made these construction paper cutouts for the backgrounds. Never used that style again. Or did we use that?

'''RYAN:''' Did with the Christmas one.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, but that was felt. Yeah, similar though, right. Um-

'''RYAN:''' Lucky was there with us for this too.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, our friend Lucky Yates, who made the, uh- he and our friend Chris Brown made the Homestar and Strong Bad puppets. Um, I guess it's about over, huh?

'''RYAN:''' Is it? It was a short one.

Sample of Style Too: Some Outtakes

2005-11-14T17:19:12Z

Teplotaxl: /* Transcript */ grammar

[[Image:SampleStyleTooOuttakes.JPG|thumb|"This isn't a Ping-Pong ball"]]

'''Sample of Style Too! Some Outtakes''' is a collection of scenes and bloopers that didn't make the cut for the bonus feature.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]], {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|The Cheat}}

'''Running Time:''' 3:32

==Transcript==
'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{Matt is in his black suit and Mike looks like he is going to sneeze.}'' Tell them how it's done. ''{laughs}''

''{Cut}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{Mike is now in front of Matt, and is pointing at the top left Ping-Pong ball.}'' This one right here was the first one. That's Homestar. ''{Matt laughs.}''

''{Cut}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{They are now in front of the green screen. Matt is missing two Ping-Pong balls.}'' I need two- two Ping-Pong balls. Just go down to the bowling alley. I think they- ''{Another Ping-Pong ball falls off Matt.}'' We need three Ping-Pong balls. Just go down to the bowling alley. I think they got Ping-Pong down there.

''{Cut}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{Mike is holding a ball with holes in it.}'' There's holes in it. There's holes in it. There's holes in it. There's holes in it and it's not a Ping-Pong ball.

''{Cut}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{At the green screen}'' I like your tight black clothes, but they need to have Ping-Pong balls taped to them, okay?

''{Cut}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{Matt is dancing at the green screen and Mike is animating Strong Bad.}'' The Z is off a little.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' What?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' The Z!

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' What!?! What!?! ''{Matt falls down.}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Just, ''{Mike gets up from the chair}'' Just stay down there. ''{bends down and finds a Ping-Pong ball}'' What is this?!? ''{throws it at Matt}''

''{Cut}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{They are now playing the SNES}'' It was my idea.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' It's, it's everyone's idea to tape Ping-Pong balls to a tight black outfit.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' But whose tight black outfit was it?

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Your wife's.

''{Cut}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{They are back at the green screen and Matt is missing Ping-Pong balls.}'' Put this back and go get some table-tennis balls! Table-Tennis balls! Now march outta here! March!

''{Cut}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{They are now facing each other at the green screen.}'' Do you have a problem?

''{Cut}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{gestures to Matt}'' This is motion capture Matt. ''{patting Matt on the head}'' It's my new friend, motion capture Matt!

''{Cut}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' We're at an impasse here. Okay, obviously. We need- Strong Bad needs an arm, you obviously need a chill-pill. ''{Mike laughs.}''

''{Cut}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{They are at the computer desk and the Strong Bad mask is on the desk.}'' Yeah, there are some weeks when Mike and I can't stand the sight of each other. And I'll go out of town! So when that happens... ''{Mike tapes a Ping-Pong ball to himself and a picture of The Cheat pops up in the upper left of the screen. Mike moves his shoulder, while The Cheat bobs slightly; the Cheat's actions don't change throughout the entire scene.}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Meh! Meh! Meh! Meh, Meh! How'm I doing?

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{Points at Mike}'' Check it out.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Meh! ''{Mike continues to say that until he gets hit.}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' You don't have to make that noise, I'll do that later. That sounds nothing like my character The Cheat from our website, HomestarRunner.com. ''{Mike begins to put more emphasis on his mehs and they become longer.}'' Will you stop that? I told you ''{gets interrupted by a long meh}'' That's my... look. I do the lyrics. I do the lyrics!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Let me see this. ''{takes a Ping-Pong ball.}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! ''{Mike takes another Ping-Pong ball. Matt takes a Ping-Pong ball off and holds it.}'' How about this one? How about this one?! ''{He throws it at Mike's head. Matt does a The Cheat cry. This repeats five times, until Mike falls out of the chair and onto the floor.}''

''{Cut}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{Matt is on the floor, and picking up Ping-Pong balls. Mike is getting back on to the chair.}'' Walk a mile in my shoes!

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' What does that mean? You're not even wearing shoes. ''{Matt shifts to see that he is not wearing shoes.}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' I should be.

''{Cut}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{Matt is in the suit and Mike is talking next to the camera.}'' All you see, all you see is the white Ping-Pong balls. That's all you see. That's all anyone ever sees, is white Ping-Pong balls. That's... The world is made up of white Ping-Pong balls. So, when Matt moves around, you're seeing the skeletal animation of Eddie Murphy in the Haunted, Disney's The Haunted House Mansion.

''{Cut}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{Matt lost a Ping-Pong ball and Mike is putting it back on.}'' I can't, look I'm not. I don't have folds.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Well, you can just grab it. Why do you act like you can't move around? ''{Matt takes the Ping-Pong ball and puts it on his right shoulder.}''

''{Cut}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{Matt is dancing around. The Strong Bad mask is on the back of his head and is upside-down.}'' The head's upside down. It's upside down. ''{Matt turns around and fixes the mask. Matt continues to dance.}'' The front is, there. ''{Matt dances around faster and then turns around.}''

''{Cut}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{They are now next to the computer desk, and Matt's mask is down.}'' And so, Matt just dances around ''{Matt pulls up his mask and laughs.}'' in this outfit and I animate it all on the computer.

==Fun Facts==

*During the scene where Mike "animates" The Cheat, the bottom of The Cheat's screen reads "Mr. The Ch8t". He was originally called "The Ch8t" in [[mile]].

Stinkoman 20X6

2005-08-02T22:11:25Z

Teplotaxl: mega man's attack

[[Image:stinkogame.png|thumb|Always looking for a fighting or a challenge.]]

''Blue hair, anyone? Stinkoman's always got fightings and challenges to keep him busy. Jump and shoot your way to all ends of Planet K. End Boss feature!!'' --[[Videlectrix]] description

'''Stinkoman 20X6''' is a side-scrolling platformer game which stars [[Stinkoman]]. This game is based on the [[Wikipedia:Mega Man Classic|classic Capcom ''Mega Man'' series]]. It also parodies the [[Wikipedia:Engrish|poor "Japanese to English" translations]] common to video games of that era, similar to those that appear on the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|current Games Menu]].

[[The Brothers Chaps]] demonstrated the game at [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005|their talk at NYU]] before it was released.

'''Date:''' March 21, 2005

[[Image:stinkobox.png|thumb|Stinkoman 20X6 box art]]

==Updates==

*March 21, 2005 - Debut
*April 26, 2005 - Level 4 Added
*May 9, 2005 - Level 5 Added
*May 16, 2005 - Level 6 Added
*July 4, 2005 - Level 7 Added
*August 1, 2005 - Level -0/8 Added

== Easter Eggs ==
* Hover your mouse below "Controls" on the main menu to access the [[Stinkomanual]].
** When you click it, "loading manuél" appears briefly.
* Wait long enough at the title screen to see an [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough#Transcript|intro cinematic]].
* Stay still long enough and Stinkoman will yawn.
** On the Level 4 stages, after yawning Stinkoman will rest against his giant fist.
** On the Level 5 stages, 1-Up will fall asleep and blow a [http://tvwiki.sytes.net/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SnotBubble snot bubble].
** On the Level 7 stages, Stinkoman will shiver and eventually freeze (this costs you one unit of energy.)

== Fun Facts ==

=== Trivia ===
* This is the first time we have seen [[Stinkoman Headquarters|Stinkoman's House]]. (Or any 20X6 character's house, for that matter).
*In the "Game Over" screen, Stinkoman has a green tongue, just like Strong Bad in [[Super NES]], although it's red or pink all other times that it is seen in the game — though the green tongue may be due to the fact that his "stummy hurts."
**Just as well, 1-Up's "Game Over screen" has him standing with the caption "My tongue is green..."
**The Level -0 "Game Over screen" has a glitched up sprite of Stinkoman, 1-Up, and Pan Pan with the caption "Sorry, hamburger."
* In the bottom right-hand corner of the PLAY GAME! screen it says "V6.0 EPISODES 1-8"
** It said "V5.0 EPISODES 1-7" until August 1, 2005, when the eighth level was added.
** It said "V4.0 EPISODES 1-6" until July 4, 2005, when the seventh level was added.
** It said "V3.0 EPISODES 1-5 THUS FAR" until May 16, 2005, when the sixth level was added.
** It said "V2.0 EPISODES 1-4" until May 9, 2005, when the fifth level was added.
** It said "V1.X EPISODES 1-3" until April 26, 2005, when the fourth level was added.
* This game used to lack the gray navbar at the bottom of the screen to move to other parts of the website. But when Level 4 was added the links were added also.
* The quality of the music in Level 7 is higher than the other ones, resulting in sharper sound.
* In versions 4 (and below) the Flash 7 Warning in the bottom left corner read "FLASH PLAYER 7 REQUIRED". In version 5 it read "FLASH 7 VERY REQUIRED". In version 6 it reads "FLASH 7 REQUIRED, 8 IS COOL TOO".
* In the beginning of level 6, in the cutscene when Stinkoman is playing the game the music is the same as the moon level. When he gets Game Over it is also the same music you get when it's Game Over. He might be playing Stinkoman 20X6!
=== Remarks ===
* This is the second instance of sprites modeled after 8-bit Megaman, the first instance being with Coach Z in [[Hip Hop Dance]].
*On Levels 4.1 and 4.2, Stinkoman can actually fall down in certain spots to join 1-Up, but you will eventually lose because there will be no one to jump on the tiles.
*1-Up jumps higher than Stinkoman. This may be due to the fact that 1-Up's level is on [[The Moon|the moon]].
* To get capsules that are hiding behind enemies without having to kill the enemy, run into the enemy with health to spare. You will take damage, grab the crunch and will be invincible long enough to escape unharmed.
*The head of the silhouette at the end of Levels 5 and 6 and beginning of 7 and 8 appears to match the head of [[20X6 Coach Z]] in the Games menu.
*Stinkoman "breaks the [[Fourth Wall Breaks|Fourth Wall]]" by saying (in Level 5) "No way! I helped you in Level 4!"
*1-Up is slower at climbing ladders than Stinkoman is, perhaps due to his lack of visible arms.
*The meteors in Level 5 cause the game to lag for a split second when they crash. This may be done on purpose to emulate how easy it is to put stress on older game systems.
*This is the first new game not to use some sort of scoring system.
*In Episode 4, when Stinkoman is facing to the right, his giant fist powerup is a left hand but when he turns around the fingers are still facing the player so it turns into a right hand. This "sprite mirroring" is common in older games to conserve memory. A notable exception is Metroid, in which Samus is always left handed.
*When 1-Up falls into the fiery lava below (usually when a platform is not in the right position), the screen pans to the right for a little bit before losing the life. Is 1-Up still walking down there?
*The 1-Up sprites in Level 4 are slightly different from the ones in Level 5 — they were not reused, as the Stinkoman ones are.
*There are two kinds of ladders used in the game: Ladders with small rungs (1.1, 1.2, 5.2), and ladders with large rungs (2.1, 2.2, 5.1, 6.1).
*If you type in the URL for volume 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, for a split second the page title will say "Old Stinkoman Game Page R.I.P." then it will take you to the current one.
*The sound made when collecting a power crunch or an extra life is the same as cracking a Bitzar in level 7.
*In Level 2.3, if you listen closely, when Brody tries to peck you, you can hear him shriek.
*The background music of the cutscene of level 1.1 is the same as the music in the background of the level 3.1 cutscene.

=== Goofs ===
*Manual inconsistencies:
**Kolkaryu is listed under level 2, but Kolkaryu already appears in level 1.
**Old Sage is listed under level 2, but Old Sages already appear in level 1.
**Level 3 is called "Dumb Wall" on the level select screen, but it's called "Up 'n' Down" in the instruction manual.
**In Level 1 in the manual, the original version said "face treats" instead of "fave treats."
**Level 3 is the only part to have its title constantly on the top of the page. All of the other Levels' titles disappear after the first page.
**When v4 (Level 6) and v5 (Level 7) were first put up, The Brothers Chaps forgot to update the [[Stinkomanual]] to include Level 6. This was fixed, but the release of version 5 seemingly broke it again. Later in the day, the level 6 section was replaced, the level 7 section was added.
[[Image:level1.jpg|thumb|Level 1 or Level 1.1? ]]
*In the Videlectrix catalogue, if you click Stinkoman 20X6, a screenshot of the game will appear. In the bottom right corner, it says "Level 1" and not "Level 1.1"
*Any damage you took as Stinkoman in levels 3 and 4 will remain on 1-Up in level 5, even though they're not the same person.
**Similarly, any damage you took as 1-Up in Level 5 will remain on Stinkoman when you progress to level 6.
*The two Pooru-Poorus at either end of Stlunko seem to be hovering above the ground.
*When you fall off the conveyor belt in Level 3 Boss and stand on the ground below the belt, you'll still be carried along with it. (However, once you jump or are hit by one of the Pooru-Poorus, you appear back on the conveyor belt.)
*When Stinkoman wears his giant fist, it is slightly larger than when Stlunko has it.
*Before level 4, 1-UP says he is taking a short cut. Before level 5, they are back at Stinkoman Headquarters. The "short cut" didn't go anywhere!
*In levels 4.1 and 4.2, if Stinkoman walks directly beneath the lavafall and then hits the ground with the rock fist, he apparently deflects the lava with his head.


=== Glitches ===
[[Image:stinkogame slow.png|thumb|Glitch for Flash 6 and under.]]
* When the game was first released, you could skip (press space or click) the first part of the final movie (any part before the MORE LEVELS TO COME SCENE) to enter stage 3.4. It was the Stlunko arena without Stlunko: a slightly elevated platform above the ground with two Pooru-Poorus on either side. You could continue traveling rightwards into a barren land before reaching an endless cliff.
**This glitch is now fixed. However, if you play the swf you can still play 3.4
**This again happened in level 4 when it was first released. However, this glitch has been fixed as well.
***Also, if you die once on level 4.4 there will be no ground when you return.
* If you fall long enough and don't touch anything, Stinkoman will stop doing his falling pose and act like he's standing and will even start to yawn. Such a long fall can be found in stage 2.2, 6.1, and 6.2.
[[Image:stinkoman-glitch.png|thumb|Stinkoman stands on air!]]
* If you jump at the right time at the end of a level, you can do your victory pose in midair.
* If you die with only one life left after defeating a boss, the usual "die" sequence will happen, but then Stinkoman will do his victory dance with no ground beneath him and you will start the next stage with no lives, which will increase by one life and the "Game Over" screen will appear the next time he dies in the next stage.
* Sometimes you can start up a new game and it will be nothing but Stinkoman and the background. Since there's no ground, you can only fall and die. This may be linked to older versions of Flash.
** A possible reason that this happens is because earlier versions of Flash may not be able to read the levelData xml files.
*When Stinkoman is about to yawn, his sprite character moves down one pixel.
[[Image:stinkogame-level22-terrell-glitch.png|thumb|Stuck Terrell on level 2.2]]
*In the beginning of level 2.2, there's a Terrell just behind a refrigerator. It seems that it's possible for the Terrell to get "stuck" just to the right of the fridge. It will continue to hop up and down (without moving horizontally at all), and Stinkoman can pass through the Terrell without becoming injured. It also becomes impossible to kill.
**Another Terrell (the one above the second burner) on Level 2.1 can get stuck, also.
*In level 1.1, if you don't kill the Jaro by the first wall and instead just go past it and the wall under the second browntant, the Jaro may be jumping in mid-air.
**It can even jump through the wall.
*If you use a seek bar, then it is possible to access level Undefined.Undefined. This level is just a grey hole, which Stinkoman is doomed to fall down. Stinkoman's Life Number is always either 8, or not there. Regardless, after he falls down once, the game over screen appears. It is just like a boss arena - the music is from the boss levels, and Stinkoman even shouts "Are you asking for a challenge?" as you enter. The items counter is also shown, as it is in level 3.1.
*In Levels 4.1 and 4.2, if a and s are pressed at the same time as you're falling into the level from the left, Stinkoman will float instead of walk.
[[Image:PinkChamCham.jpg|thumb|A Pink Cham Cham firing only the left laser]]
*In level 4.2, if you approach a Pink Cham Cham from the left and see only the left side of it as it fires, when you approach towards the right to see the rest of it, it will only have fired the laser on the left side.
**This may also happen in level -0.1 or -0.2.
*If you die at the beginning of 5.2 before the ship at the top flies by, it will fly by on the Keep Try screen.
**To try this out, get yourself down to one Energy before leaving 5.1
***This also happens on level 5.1.
*If you kill a boss, but die by one of its shots, the "Game Over screen" appears, but the cutscene appears afterwards and you continue with one life gone and will have no energy the next level.
*A Jaro on one of the conveyor belts on level 5.1 can go behind the wall.
*On level 6.2, after the second Protek, on the bottom level, you go on a series of moving white solid clouds. After killing a Jaro, you have to time yourself to fall through an Evaporating cloud to land on another white solid. Well, if you're on the evaporating, and you move to the left, you'll be stuck falling in place on the wall. You can't jump, only move left and right and fire.
*If you die in level 4.1 or 4.2 by a Poorbt or by falling in the lava, 1-Up keeps walking. If he hits an enemy or a lava-fall before the level restarts, he will die too, and you'll lose 2 lives.
*In Level 7.1, in around the middle of the level, you can get caught between a long tower of gray blocks, and an ice platform. Shooting, running and jumping cannot move you; yet jumping towards either side will cause Stinkoman will keep flipping for as long as you hold the arrow keys.
*In Level 7.1, you will not freeze if you stay in a ladder.
*In Level 7.1 or 7.2 you will not freeze if you hold the up or down button.
*In Level 7.1 or 7.2, if you don't move at all after freezing, you won't freeze again.
*In Level 7.1 and 7.2, you will not fall if a retractable ladder goes back up while you are on it.
*In Level 7.1 and 7.3 if you fall off a retractable ladder Stinkoman will look like he is falling forever. (In order to fall off a retractable ladder, you must be at the very bottom of the ladder.)
*Playing around with a seek bar with Level 7.1 already loaded can allow you to find a spot with every song from every level playing at once, which is messy, but a nice find.
*It is possible to get a ton of extra lives in level -0.2 Since there are two extra lives available, once you get both, you can die and start over, gaining one more for each time.
*Fooling with a seek bar towards the beginning of the Flash file allows you to also find an object library of sorts.
*Sometimes, losing a life in 1.3 will result in Stinkoman returning to the level without ground, causing him to fall to his death. This is also reported to happen in 2.3.
*When version 6 was first released, Level -0 always appeared in the top slot in the CONTINUTE menu even if you scrolled through the levels. This was fixed later in the day.
*In Level -0, the text on the bottom of the screen (level number, the number of Stinkoman's MANS, etc.) is highlightable with your mouse cursor. This could have been done on purpose however, because the level is extremely glitched up.

**They are also a reference to the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu]], where you can get similar capsules to change your ship.
* Grundy's illustration in the manual shows him running in a manner similar to [[Homestar Runner]].
* Stlunko, the level 3 boss, bears a striking resemblance to the [[Visor Robot]].
*The Rose Blake's description in the manual as a "'Lectric burner" is a reference to the email [[extra plug]], where Strong Bad gets '[[Lectric Boots]].
*The line "blast em up [[Dan]]!" is an adaptation of "fry 'em up, Dan!" from [[TROGDOR!]]
*The sentence in the manual, "Falling from the skies and bove", references [[That Time of Year]].
*The stobats in Level 2 blow up like the ducks in [[Duck Guardian]] after being hit with the hatch ray.
*1-Up saying "I'm going this way!" is a reference to [[Meet Marshie]].
*1 Up in the level 5 cut scene says "Mooooooon" just like a soy drunken Strong Bad did in [[personal favorites]] and in [[Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon]] when Strong Bad says, "Now we can retire to da MOOOOOOOOOOOON!"
**The way "Now I'm on the Mooooooon!" is typed when 1-Up says it is also similiar to [[Under Construction]] when Stinkoman says "Eat pudding with a spooooon!"
*When 1-Up defeats [[Nebulon]], he says no one likes his style just like Strong Bad did in [[New Boots]].
*1-Up saying that he's just a kid, and maybe when he's older is a reference to [[japanese cartoon]].
*The ship that flies by at the beginning of 5.1 and 5.2 is featured twice in "japanese cartoon" that was originally intended to be the 20X6 version of [[20X6 The Cheat|The Cheat]].
*The background in Level 5 looks like the third background in the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games menu]].

*"I deserve a break" is a reference to [[Under Construction]].
*There are ladders in level -0 that resemble ducks from [[Duck Guardian]].

=== Real-World References ===
*The game controller Stinkoman is holding in the cutscene for level 5.1, bears a striking resemblence to the [http://www.gamerzuniverse.net/nintendo/imagesnes/dogbone.jpg redesigned NES controller] (AKA the dogbone controller).
*There are many references to the ''Mega Man'' game series:
** The sprites used for Stinkoman are patterned after 8-bit ''Mega Man'' sprites, and the same applies to the enemy Poorbt and Astromund.
** In fact, the poses of the [[Videlectrix Mascot]] in the logo are taken directly from the NES ''Mega Man'' series.
** The sounds of the text appearing in the cinematics are also the same as in ''Mega Man''.
***The chime noise for the main menu is taken from the first ''Mega Man X'' game.
** In ''Mega Man V'', there is a chicken robot similar to the chickens encountered in level 2.
** When Stinkoman says that the large gray fist could be a new powerup and takes off with it, this is an obvious reference to Mega Man taking the power of defeated bosses.
** At the start of the first side-scrolling stage the little theme played is very similar to the old ''Mega Man'' starting theme. In fact, the whole soundtrack was probably meant to sound like ''Mega Man'' game music.
** Stinkoman being unable to clear the wall using his normal jump is also a joke from ''Mega Man''.
** When all three characters flash onto the screen during the intro, that is also a ''Mega Man'' reference, where in one of the arcade games (namely ''Mega Man: The Power Battles'') Mega Man, Proto Man, and Bass would flash onto the screen in a similar way.
**The spikes that can kill Stinkoman instantly (Old Sage) are a reference to similar spikes which were placed under moving platforms in Mega Man games and which would also kill Mega Man instantly.
** The dropping platforms are a reference to the original ''Mega Man'', in which similar platforms were found in Guts Man's stage.
**In one portion of level 5.2, if you jump off of the top of a platform, you will see a planet that has a C-shaped portion on its left side. This portion bears a striking similarity to the stylized C in the title of "Chrono Trigger".
** Only three of Stinkoman's flying fists can be on the screen at the same time. In the ''Mega Man'' series, Mega Man's Mega Buster shots also suffer from the same drawbacks. Even in Level 4, Stinkoman can only drop three clusters of rocks onscreen when pounding his giant fist.
***Early sprite-based video games suffered this fate as well. Limiting the number of sprites on screen prevented slow down.
** Greggos are similar to Mettaurs (also known as Metools, Mets, or Hard Hats), who were also invincible while ducking.
** Stinkoman fights like Mega Man X by shooting at enemies while 1-Up fights like Zero with acrobatic melee attacks.
** The Bendini Sisters that fall on level 5 are similar to the meteorites that fall in Star Man's stage in Mega Man 5 for the NES.

* Stinkoman's becoming bored when idle is an old gag first found in the old PC game ''[[Wikipedia:Boulder Dash|Boulder Dash]]'', later emulated in ''[[Wikipedia:Sonic the Hedgehog (Genesis)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' and countless other titles.
* Right after Tampo blows up in the cinematic, you can hear the same sound that is played in Metroid when Samus phases in.
* Stlunko, 404 is a reference to the 404 error that browsers give when a webpage cannot be found.
* Stlunko is one of many, many video game bosses that consist of a mostly inactive head defended by two enormous disembodied hands. Such bosses are popular in [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda series|The Legend of Zelda]] series, examples being Bongo-Bongo from [[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]], Gohdan from [[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]] and Mazaal from [[Wikipedia: The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Minish Cap]].
* Hold B is a reference to ''Super Mario Bros'' and a few other Nintendo games in which if you held down B, you would run faster or power up your weapon. In this game, holding S (which is like a B button) allows you to rapid fire. In Megaman, this would allow you charge up your shot for a more powerful hit.
* Stinkoman doing a forward flip is a reference to characters such as Samus Aran, Duke Nukem, and Sonic The Hedgehog, whose over-the-top flips served little or no in game purpose.
* The fade-in is a reference to NES games that had large images in the background fade in. Because the NES did not have many colors to choose from, there would be weird color glitches with some games when they'd have something fade in.
* The first boss, Tampo, is similiar to the final boss of ''Star Fox 64'', which was the giant, floating brain of Andross, which had the same weak point (medulla).
* The manual mentioning this game has no "weepy princess crap" is a reference to the Super Mario series, the Legend of Zelda series, and a few other games where you had to rescue a helpless princess.
** Likewise, Pan Pan being kidnapped references the countless games which featured a random character being kidnapped, such as in Donkey Kong Country 2 or 3.
* The bulky, muscular Stinkoman on the box art is likely a reference to the first and second ''Mega Man'' games, where the original American version of the game's box art had a big, muscular Mega Man that looked nothing like the character in the game. It could also be a reference to [[time capsule]] where Stinko Man got huge muscles from eating a power crunch.
**This problem wasn't exclusive to the Megaman series. Almost every game localized for the U.S had new box art made for it. This continued right up till the days of the SNES.
*The pose with the large fist is a direct reference to the old NES game Battletoads.
*There are a vast number of seemingly unexplainable appearances of letter P in NES-era games. Ranging from P-switches, P-wings, P-gauges etc. in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', to the Arm Cannon/Mega Buster character designation in ''Mega Man 2''. This may explain the collectible Ps in level 3.
**P most likely stands for "power" in these games.
*Jaro's explosion appears to be modeled after many of the character explosions in ''Rad Gravity'' for the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]].
* Lundsford is a reference to the symbol and/or mascot of [http://www.georgianaturalgas.com/ Georgia Natural Gas]. Billboards featuring this symbol and character can be seen in many places in the Atlanta area where The Brothers Chaps live.
*Saargtsson is most likely a reference to [http://www.zeldauniverse.net/content/view/62/46/ Moldorm] from ''The Legend of Zelda'' video games, who was almost exactly the same in terms of appearance, and having a weakness in its tail.
**This is more accurately a combination of Moldorm and [http://www.flyingomelette.com/kidicarus/kidicarusenemies.html Hewdraw] from ''Kid Icarus''.
*1-Up's spin kick bears a resemblance to the [[wikipedia:Street Fighter|''Street Fighter'']] move "Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku" (otherwise known as the Hurricane Kick), which Homestar uses in [[dangeresque 3]].
* The [[Wikipedia:Piedmont_(United States)|Piedmont]] region of the United States is the area between the Atlantic coastal plain and the Appalachian mountains. Atlanta, home of the Brothers Chaps, lies in this region. [[Wikipedia:Piedmont|Piedmont]] is also a region in Northern Italy.
*The fact that Gaspeau (red) and Frotzer (blue) are almost the same exact enemies may be a reference to the old Zelda games where an enemy could be red or blue and that the blue version of the enemy was always harder.
**This was common practice among sprite-based games. To get the most use out of the graphics ROMs, designers would re-use game graphics by drawing them with any of several palettes. An object drawn with a different palette from the same graphic looks identical to the original except for its colors, like Gaspeau and Frotzer, or like the normal Browntant and the blue variant on Level 6.
*The "pink cloud zone" in level 6 could be a reference to countless video games with cloud zones, but is most likely to Earthbound, where the sixth Your Sanctuary location (in Dalaam) is called Pink Cloud.
*Firey-Hot is a lot like the fire coming out of the cannons in the airship levels on Super Mario Bros. 3.
*Level four is a reference to many such levels in classic period games, (now often called "protect-the-idiot levels"), in which a character would keep walking with no A.I. at all—right towards all sorts of enemies and such traps! Many gamers became annoyed with this, as it would be hard to protect this weakling, and if it died, they died. This design is still used frequently today.
*My Benj is similar to the Bit enemies in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.
*The Old Sages on the moon look mysteriously like the spikes on the moon in Super Mario Land 2.
*Fullbide's drawing in the "manuel" resembles the shield attacker enemy from various Megaman games.
*The mysterious character in the cutscene before level 7.1 is a reference to the evil boss Ashtar from the Nintendo game Ninja Gaiden II, who appears in a silhouette from behind in the [http://www.gamespot.com/nes/action/ninjagaiden2thedarksoc/media.html cutscene] at the beginning of the game, laughs maniacally at the thought of the hero's demise, and is surrounded by lightning.
*Level -0 (Negatory) is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Minus World|Minus World]] level found in the original ''[[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]]'' game, which was a glitch that could be found by walking through a wall.

''"A glitch takes our hero where no Stinko should Stink-go"'' 
Stinkoman is zapped into a wall, but escapes into the negative zone, where he faces an assortment of glitched challenges from his previous worlds.
===Stage 8.1 (Transcript)===
''{A field on Planet K is shown, with the right side taken up by a wall. Suddenly, lightning flashes, and Stinkoman appears inside the wall. He attempts to move, in vain.}'' 
'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{subtitled}'' WHAT HAPPENS?! I'M SAD IN SIDE A WALL!!

''{Cut to the shadowy figure in his lair.}'' 
'''SHADOWY FIGURE:''' ''{subtitled}'' MUU HOO HAAHAA!! STINKOMAN WILL BE FOREVER TRAPPED SAD INSIDE THAT WALL!

''{The camera turns to show 1-Up on the left.}'' 
'''1-UP:''' ''{subtitled}'' YOU'RE MYSTERIOUS!

''{Cut to a close-up of Stinkoman inside the wall.}'' 
'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{subtitled}'' I'M SURE BY NOW I DON'T NEED TO TELL YOU PEOPLE WHAT I'M FAIRLY CERTAIN THIS WALL IS ASKING FOR...

''{Stinkoman blasts a section of wall away, and runs to the newly created path. Cut back to the shadowy figure's lair.}'' 
'''SHADOWY FIGURE:''' ''{subtitled}'' NOOOO! HE ESCAPED! AND THAT PATH LEADS STRAIGHT TO THE NEGATIVE ZONE!!

''{Cut to a close up of 1-Up.}''

''{Alternating shots of 1-Up and the shadowy figure. The level start scene is shown; however, instead of the standard start scene showing Stinkoman, it shows a jumble of all the characters, with the words "TRY LEVEL -0.1" at the bottom.}''

==Level 8.1 (Guide)==
[[Image:stinkoman_negatory.png|thumb|Twenty-exty... glitch?]]

You start at the wall you blasted. Go forward and soon you'll leave the bit of land and will be walking on air. A Poorbt will appear and fire at you. Ignore him and walk forward, where a Jaro and Frotzer will be. Also, you'll fall off the air and land on the ground.

Go to the edge and jump to the stone platform, and then to the ladder. Climb up it and take care of the Terrel and continue forward. Jump to the cloud and jump or run to the Conveyor belt before the cloud disappears. Jump to the ladder, climb it and fall to the stone platform below. Destroy the Biztar and continue. Walk off the edge, being careful of the Bendini Sisters, and you'll land on trees.
Challenge the Gaspeau and go forward. You'll see a Trapdoor that works opposite. You can land on it while it's down, yet you'll fall when it's up. Jump past it and eliminate the Chorch. Jump past the Assorted Platforms to the rapidly changing platform below, but watch out for the Kolkaryu.

Climb the ladder of ducks and destroy the Grundy and Chorch up there. Ignore the Stothos, I don't believe you can hit him. Continue on to the two platforms. Take them to the next area where you'll see a Drill and a switch like the one from level 4. Run unto the platform to be teleported. Watch out, as there will be 3 Jaros waiting for you. Ignore the discoloured Power Crunch off to your left - it's poisoned and hurts you instead of healing you. Ignore the next set of platforms. The first won't help you, and you go through th second. Climb the Retractable Ladder and go past the large assortment of platforms to the two conveyor belts. One of them doesn't work. Shoot the Biztars and progress. Watch out for the Piedmont. Go forward, killing the My Benjs. You'll then come across 3 Lundfords lined up on top of each other.

Go past them, as well as the Porchis. And then you'll meet a large assortment of Chorchs, Greggos, and a Terrel. There's a Power Crunch ahead, but watch out, because again, there's a set of Bendini Sisters guarding it. Grab it and go forward to see a pile of Gokuls, with a Blue Browntant on top, and a Pink Cham Cham under them. Destroy everything that you can, since you can't reach the Cham-Cham, and walk through the lava - it's fake, and won't hurt you. There's also a Gaspeau and a Grundy too. Go past them, go up the retractable ladder, and destroy the Terrel. Go to the array of ladders, and go to the first one there.

Climb all the way up to the top, and you can stand on it. Jump forward to land on an invisible platform. Walk forward and you'll fall and land on a retractable ladder. Destroy the Chorch, jump to the next ladder, and destroy the Gaspeau. walk forward to walk on air, watching out for the Kolkaryu. Climb down the Retractable ladder, and then down the duck ladder. When you go down the duck ladder, a switch platform from Level 4 will try to smack into you. Walk forward, avoiding the Postlethwaite's lightning. Defeat the Chorch and Jump to the platform. You'll be walking on air again. Watch out for the Bendini Sisters that are waiting. Go to the Sprite Changing Platform. Go to the Set of Trapdoors.

Remember that they work in reverse, so jump when they're down and you'll land on them. Eliminate the Stobat and get the Power crunch he leaves behind. Jump over the Lundsfords and now you're on a line of 1-UP-heads. A Fullbide will charge at you too, so be careful. Continue. You'll see another Fullbide and a Browntant. Destroy them and walk forward to the collection of Spikes, Forks, and other deadly items, and you'll reach the invisible goal! -0.1 Complete!

==Level 8.2 (Guide)==
As soon as you enter, you'll face a Stobat. Defeat him. Jump into the ovens. Jump and go forward. You'll land inside it. Walk forward and you'll fall. Jump forward again. Then keep jumping up the ladder of Ovens. When you reach the topic, a Kolkaryu is waiting for you. Jump to the platform near him to avoid him. If you want to get the Extra life. walk forward and then jump over the oven next to the one where the life is. otherwise, jump to the Oven right next to the platform. Walk forward and the jump over the next oven, to the one where the Chorch is waiting. Walk forward and fall down to the bottom. Jump forward and continue on. Run forward to the Retractable ladder, and take it to the top. Jump on the cloud platform and then jump to the stone platform as soon as possible, or you'll smack into the drill.
Jump past the other two platforms and back on land. Destroy the Browntant ahead and go up the ladder. Eliminate the Terrel and the My Benj there, and get the Power Crunch (but watch out for the flying platform - it'll smash into you and take some health) Jump into the conveyor belt, then to the Disappearing Cloud, then to the Stone Platform. Now jump forward and you should land on air. Walk forward until you fall and hit the platforms below you. Destroy the Astromunds if they come too close.

Walk forward, and you'll eventually fall through the floor to the three Power Crunches, and you will trigger the Boss. -0.2 Complete!

After a while, the fridge door part of its body will open, and that's your cue to attack it. Now the door will open from the other side, and block the beam. Go to the Green Switch to get sent to the top. Avoid the Uptants and the Forks on his head, and get to the other side. Climb down the ladder, avoiding the Downtants and attack the body when it's open. Repeat. Amount of hits needed: 6.

''"A glitch takes our hero where no Stinko should Stink-go"'' 
Stinkoman is zapped into a wall, but escapes into the negative zone, where he faces an assortment of glitched challenges from his previous worlds.
===Stage 8.1 (Transcript)===
''{A field on Planet K is shown, with the right side taken up by a wall. Suddenly, lightning flashes, and Stinkoman appears inside the wall. He attempts to move, in vain.}'' 
'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{subtitled}'' WHAT HAPPENS?! I'M SAD IN SIDE A WALL!!

''{Cut to the shadowy figure in his lair.}'' 
'''SHADOWY FIGURE:''' ''{subtitled}'' MUU HOO HAAHAA!! STINKOMAN WILL BE FOREVER TRAPPED SAD INSIDE THAT WALL!

''{The camera turns to show 1-Up on the left.}'' 
'''1-UP:''' ''{subtitled}'' YOU'RE MYSTERIOUS!

''{Cut to a close-up of Stinkoman inside the wall.}'' 
'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{subtitled}'' I'M SURE BY NOW I DON'T NEED TO TELL YOU PEOPLE WHAT I'M FAIRLY CERTAIN THIS WALL IS ASKING FOR...

''{Stinkoman blasts a section of wall away, and runs to the newly created path. Cut back to the shadowy figure's lair.}'' 
'''SHADOWY FIGURE:''' ''{subtitled}'' NOOOO! HE ESCAPED! AND THAT PATH LEADS STRAIGHT TO THE NEGATIVE ZONE!!

''{Cut to a close up of 1-Up.}''

''{Alternating shots of 1-Up and the shadowy figure. The level start scene is shown; however, instead of the standard start scene showing Stinkoman, it shows a jumble of all the characters, with the words "TRY LEVEL -0.1" at the bottom.}''

<pre>START PLAY!</pre>

==Level 8.1 (Guide)==
[[Image:stinkoman_negatory.png|thumb|Twenty-exty... glitch?]]

You start at the wall you blasted. Go forward and soon you'll leave the bit of land and will be walking on air. A Poorbt will appear and fire at you. Ignore him and walk forward, where a Jaro and Frotzer will be. Also, you'll fall off the air and land on the ground.

Go to the edge and jump to the stone platform, and then to the ladder. Climb up it and take care of the Terrel and continue forward. Jump to the cloud and jump or run to the Conveyor belt before the cloud disappears. Jump to the ladder, climb it and fall to the stone platform below. Destroy the Biztar and continue. Walk off the edge, being careful of the Bendini Sisters, and you'll land on trees.
Challenge the Gaspeau and go forward. You'll see a Trapdoor that works opposite. You can land on it while it's down, yet you'll fall when it's up. Jump past it and eliminate the Chorch. Jump past the Assorted Platforms to the rapidly changing platform below, but watch out for the Kolkaryu.

Climb the ladder of ducks and destroy the Grundy and Chorch up there. Ignore the Stothos, I don't believe you can hit him. Continue on to the two platforms. Take them to the next area where you'll see a Drill and a switch like the one from level 4. Run unto the platform to be teleported. Watch out, as there will be 3 Jaros waiting for you. Ignore the discoloured Power Crunch off to your left - it's poisoned and hurts you instead of healing you. Ignore the next set of platforms. The first won't help you, and you go through th second. Climb the Retractable Ladder and go past the large assortment of platforms to the two conveyor belts. One of them doesn't work. Shoot the Biztars and progress. Watch out for the Piedmont. Go forward, killing the My Benjs. You'll then come across 3 Lundfords lined up on top of each other.

Go past them, as well as the Porchis. And then you'll meet a large assortment of Chorchs, Greggos, and a Terrel. There's a Power Crunch ahead, but watch out, because again, there's a set of Bendini Sisters guarding it. Grab it and go forward to see a pile of Gokuls, with a Blue Browntant on top, and a Pink Cham Cham under them. Destroy everything that you can, since you can't reach the Cham-Cham, and walk through the lava - it's fake, and won't hurt you. There's also a Gaspeau and a Grundy too. Go past them, go up the retractable ladder, and destroy the Terrel. Go to the array of ladders, and go to the first one there.

Climb all the way up to the top, and you can stand on it. Jump forward to land on an invisible platform. Walk forward and you'll fall and land on a retractable ladder. Destroy the Chorch, jump to the next ladder, and destroy the Gaspeau. walk forward to walk on air, watching out for the Kolkaryu. Climb down the Retractable ladder, and then down the duck ladder. When you go down the duck ladder, a switch platform from Level 4 will try to smack into you. Walk forward, avoiding the Postlethwaite's lightning. Defeat the Chorch and Jump to the platform. You'll be walking on air again. Watch out for the Bendini Sisters that are waiting. Go to the Sprite Changing Platform. Go to the Set of Trapdoors.

Remember that they work in reverse, so jump when they're down and you'll land on them. Eliminate the Stobat and get the Power crunch he leaves behind. Jump over the Lundsfords and now you're on a line of 1-UP-heads. A Fullbide will charge at you too, so be careful. Continue. You'll see another Fullbide and a Browntant. Destroy them and walk forward to the collection of Spikes, Forks, and other deadly items, and you'll reach the invisible goal! -0.1 Complete!

==Level 8.2 (Guide)==
As soon as you enter, you'll face a Stobat. Defeat him. Jump into the ovens. Jump and go forward. You'll land inside it. Walk forward and you'll fall. Jump forward again. Then keep jumping up the ladder of Ovens. When you reach the topic, a Kolkaryu is waiting for you. Jump to the platform near him to avoid him. If you want to get the Extra life. walk forward and then jump over the oven next to the one where the life is. otherwise, jump to the Oven right next to the platform. Walk forward and the jump over the next oven, to the one where the Chorch is waiting. Walk forward and fall down to the bottom. Jump forward and continue on. Run forward to the Retractable ladder, and take it to the top. Jump on the cloud platform and then jump to the stone platform as soon as possible, or you'll smack into the drill.
Jump past the other two platforms and back on land. Destroy the Browntant ahead and go up the ladder. Eliminate the Terrel and the My Benj there, and get the Power Crunch (but watch out for the flying platform - it'll smash into you and take some health) Jump into the conveyor belt, then to the Disappearing Cloud, then to the Stone Platform. Now jump forward and you should land on air. Walk forward until you fall and hit the platforms below you. Destroy the Astromunds if they come too close. Walk down the platforms and destroy the Astromunds. Then defeat the Frotzer nearby. You should see a line of Rose Blakes.

Wait for the first two to extinguish, then jump. Now you'll see a series of Switches from Level 4. Jump into them to teleport. After the first one, go to the teleporters as follows.
Left hand side; destroy the plant thing and go to the right teleport; walk to your right and jump, trying to land on the right side teleport; there's only one here, so take it; take the next one too; walk into the next set and jump; take the single teleport you see; dodge the Stafulter and walk into the teleport on the ground; jump forward and get the power crunch; ignore the teleport above you unless you want an extra life.

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on "Rock, Rock On" on the final screen to see all the toys again. Click on each toy to see it alone.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This commercial serves to introduce all of the Cheat Commandos with the exception of Firebert. He was previously introduced in the Strong Bad email [[army]].

===Remarks===
*This cartoon is loaded with exceptions to the once-solid rule of only mentioning "Cheat" with "The" in front of it. The fact that all the Cheat Commando characters except Firebert can speak normally implies that the writers paid no regard to the source material, as is the case with many cartoons based on toys, comics or video games.
*When the Cheat Commandos are marching in the TV show, some of them walk by twice.
*At the end, Flashfight doesn't have his arm lifted in salute, possibly because he is the commander.
*Although Blue Laser action figures appear in this cartoon, they don't appear packaged in the Easter egg at the end.

===Goofs===
*Gunhaver calls the "Action Figure Storage Truck" by the wrong name. He says "vehicle" instead of "truck".

===Inside References===
*When the commandos are at "R&R", they are next to "Xtra cold ones", a new variation on a [[Cold One]].
*All Cheat Commando toys are [[$11.01]].
*The Cheat Commando action figure packages are the same design as in the emails "[[action figure]]" and "[[army]]".
*Silent 'But Deadly' Rip's voice in the TV show is the same as the guy in the truck show The Cheat is watching in the Strong Bad email [[privileges]].
*The helicopter sound in the beginning is just like the The Cheat Skycam Traffic helicopter sounds from the Strong Bad email [[local news]].
*The words 'Cool Glasses' on Gunhaver's package is a reference to [[The theme from DANGERESQUE II: This time, it's not Dangeresque I]] on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]]
*On the toy packages the word "commandos" is coloured with the colours on the [[Strongbadia]] flag.
*Ripberger is the name of the magistrate in [[Thy Dungeonman 2]].
**Ripberger is also the name of the character voiced by Mark Hamill in the Lucas Arts game "Full Throttle" (although his name is spelled 'Ripburger').
*On Crackotage's package, it says "Museum Quality". This is a reference to the packaged version of Strong Bad's peanut action figure from the Strong Bad Email [[action figure]].
*The caption "Yellow Dog!!" on Firebert's action figure package is a reference to what Homestar says in [[army]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Foxface]], the only female commando, is obviously modeled after the [[Wikipedia:G. I. Joe|GI Joe]] character, Scarlett, whose mantra is "I'm not just one of the 'guys'; I'm better.", according to the [http://www.hasbro.com/gijoe/experience/pl/page.filecards/team.Joe/joe_id.64/dn/default.cfm GI Joe website]. According to Foxface's packaging, she is "Not One of The Guys!!"
*[[Blue Laser]]'s plan to blow up the ocean might be a reference to an actual GI Joe episode. In "There's No Place Like Springfield," [[Wikipedia:COBRA Organization|Cobra]] had invented a chemical compound which could convert any body of water—even oceans—into a powerful explosive.
* The fact that the base of all Cheat Commandos are the same (in terms of size, appearance, expression, etc), with only costumes setting them apart, alludes to countless toys in the 80s that were the same way to facilitate mass-production.

[[Image:kerrek_real.jpg|thumb|Kerrek, from the Movie Trailer]]

'''Kerrek''' submitted the email "[[interview]]," and [[Strong Bad]] liked his name so much he named a creature after it. He wrote Kerrek's brief initial story in Gothic letters: "''And then [[Trogdor]] smote the Kerrek, and all was laid to Burnination.''" Since this creature inhabits the world of Trogdor, he is a character in the game [[Peasant's Quest]]. He does not like peasants wearing short pants, and as a [[Wikipedia:teetotaler|teetotaler]], he does not appreciate [[Cold One]]s. The [[Jhonka]] is afraid of him. He was either killed by Trogdor or [[Rather Dashing]].

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The stamp on the postcard has an outline of Abe Lincoln.

===Remarks===
*"Cigarrette" is misspelled.
*The girls are presumably thirteen or fourteen, as evidenced by So And So's screwup.
*It is impossible to do a late [[Wikipedia:shove-it|360 shove-it]] to boneless. A [http://www.skateboard-city.com/boneless.php boneless] is a variation of an [[wikipedia:ollie|ollie]], and therefore would have to come first.
*This Teen Girl Squad issue subtly implements the "[[The Birds|birds]] getting killed" tradition by the mailbox eating the postcard with birds on it.

===Inside References===
*Cheerleader "PUNTS" So and So. What's Her Face also gets punted by a [[Minor_Teen_Girl_Squad_Characters#Dinosaur|dinosaur]] in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].
*According to the postcard, What's Her Face's address is 412 S. Figgis, [[Mundelow]] 80808, indicating that she lives near [[Thorax Corporation]] headquarters.

Teplotaxl: /* Easter Eggs */ back-word

[[Image:sbemail90.png|thumb|"This'll grow ya some nice fishcorn bushes"]]

'''Strong Bad Email #90'''

Strong Bad is asked if he celebrates Thanksgiving like everyone else, or if he celebrates some weird holiday. We are then shown a history book about the colonization of [[Strongbadia]].

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Sad]], [[The Cheat]], [[Bubs]], [[Homestar Runner]] (Easter egg)

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[The Field]], [[Strongbadia]]

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

'''Date:''' November 25, 2003

'''Running Time:''' 1:56

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Email me don't email me, email me don't email me. ''{He pulls up the email and reads it aloud.}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hi Strong Bad! 
Do you celebrate thanksgiving 
normally? Or do you have special 
traditions for when Strong Badia was 
first colonized? What's the story 
about? 
 
From your Buddy, 
Shana Ma. 
Los Angeles, CA</blockquote>
''{He pronounces "Los Angeles" with a hard "g".}''

''{typing}'' Oh, Shanama, the story of the colonization of Strong Badia is a tale as old as, say, the wireless Web ''{pause}'' or energy drinks maybe. It began in a period of strife...

''{Cut to a shot of an old book on a wooden table. It is open and pictures Strong Bad, in a pilgrim hat, squirting ketchup onto a plate of eggs, next to Strong Sad in a wig and typical 17th-century clothing.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' ...when I was being persecuted for my beliefs.

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{voiceover}'' Ewwww! Ketchup on eggs?!?

''{A caption reading "Ewwww! Ketchup on Eggs?!?" appears beneath the picture. The page turns to show Strong Bad reading the newspaper and seeing an ad saying "LOT FOR SALE! along with a page saying "Homestar declares eggs not a fruit."}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' I learned of a place where a man can be free. Free to do what he wants to do. Free to ketchup his eggs without being hassled by the man.

''{The page turns to show Strong Bad and The Cheat, also wearing a pilgrim hat, travelling across Free Country, USA, Strong Bad carrying a musket and eating a sandwich and The Cheat dragging a bag along behind him. A caption along the bottom reads "The Three Stout Sub Sandwiches: The Ham 'n' Swiss, The Dijon Chicken and the Veggie Delux."}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' So I set sail with three stout sub sandwiches, and my best The Cheat to find this mystical land.

''{The page turns to show the two of them meeting Bubs, who is waving at them, wearing a Sioux-style feather headband and wearing a loincloth.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' I met a strange man who had strange ways and strange odors.

''{The page turns to show Strong Badia in front of a glorious sunrise, above a caption reading "The Neu Wirlde."}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' And he led me to the new world, out beyond the dumpsters.

''{The page turns to show the Tire falling onto The Cheat, whose hat is sent flying from his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' There was a brief struggle with the indigenous peoples.

''{The page turns to show Strong Bad handing Bubs the rent check.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' At last, we reached an agreement to peacefully co-exist in this land, after I gave him my first and last months' rent deposit.

''{The page turns to show a ploughed field where Bubs is planting a fish. Strong Bad is looking at him, holding a fish and a corn cob in his hand.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' Then the strange man probably showed me how to put fish in the ground with corn, for some reason.

'''BUBS''': ''{voiceover}'' This'll grow ya some nice fishcorn bushes!

''{A caption reading "This'll grow ya some nice fishcorn bushes" appears at the bottom of the page. The page turns to show Bubs, The Cheat and Strong Bad sitting at a picnic table in Strongbadia, feasting on fast food.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{voiceover}'' Then we celebrated with a feast of some cold Hardee's he had laying around.

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

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' So there you have it, Shana... Shanamana... ''{singing}'' Shanamanamanamanamana tonight! That shoulda been in your history books at school. I gotta get on those people over at Hoofton Mifflin. Those guys are slackin off. ''{stops typing}'' Okay, so until next week, leave me alone!

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*After the email is over, click the first part of the word Shanamanamanamanana and Strong Bad will "Shanama" into some songs.
::'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' O Shanama... Do do doot doot doot doo... ''{stops singing}'' What else is there? Shana... Shanamatopoeia. Ooh, how 'bout this? ''{singing}'' Shanama! Shanama ho ho ho huh ho!
*Click on the the words "history books" to hear Homestar Runner address the imaginary masses.
::''{Cut to a page in a history book with a drawing of Homestar, dressed in Colonial American attire (with powdered wig), with text below it reading "Homestar Runner addresses the imaginary masses." The imaginary masses cheer.}''
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' A-hem. From this day forward, I hearby declare eggs...not to be...a fruit! ''{The imaginary masses cheer.}'' Yes, yes, quiet down. And furthermore, no longer shall dirty diapers be accepted as legal tender! ''{The imaginary masses cheer.}'' Hang on, I got one more. Henceforth, those named Henry will no longer be allowed to call themselves Hank. That's just too much of a stretch. ''{The imaginary masses cheer.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Remarks===
*According to the later e-mail [[monument]], the [[Stop Sign|stop sign]] and [[Cinderblock|cinder block]] make up a monument of Strong Bad's right foot. However, they are shown in this e-mail as being part of the area when Strong Bad bought it from Bubs.
*We learn in this e-mail that Bubs owns Strong Badia (which is located behind the dumpsters), and Strong Bad just rents it from him.

===Inside References===
*The crowd cheers in the second Easter egg are from [[A Decemberween Pageant]]. Also, in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (toon)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]].

===Real-World References===
*The entire story is based on the historical accounts of the [[Wikipedia:Pilgrims|Pilgrims]] founding the [[Wikipedia:Plymouth Colony|Plymouth Colony]], after they were persecuted for their [[Wikipedia:Puritan|Puritan]] beliefs in [[Wikipedia:England|England]].
*"Shanama, Shanama ho ho ho ho ho!" is sung to the tune of "Panama" by [[Wikipedia:Van Halen|Van Halen]]; "Oh Shanama" is to the tune of [[Wikipedia:O Canada|"O Canada,"]] the Canadian national anthem.
*Homestar declaring eggs not to be a fruit may be a reference to the famous 1893 Supreme Court decision ([http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/cgi-bin/getcase.pl?court=US&vol=149&invol=304 Nix v. Hedden]) that [[Wikipedia:Tomato#Controversies|tomatoes were not fruits]].
*Bubs planting fish-corn bushes is a reference to when the Native Americans showed the Pilgrims how to grow corn (they used fish heads as fertilizer).
*"Hoofton Mifflin" is a misspelling (and mispronunciation) of scholastic publisher [[Wikipedia:Houghton Mifflin|Houghton Mifflin]].

2005-04-12T20:03:06Z

Teplotaxl: /* ''Official Rock-Paper-Scissors Strategy Guide'' */ Page number

Homestar is slowly taking over the world, as evidenced by some of these documented sightings.

'''Please NO hotlinked images''' - Just a simple link to the image will do as this will ensure that the page will load faster for users with slower Internet connections.

== TELEVISION ==

===''Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends''===
During the episode "Bloo's Brothers" a Bloo clone that looks [http://www.deviantart.com/view/15766022/ freakishly similar to Homestar] appears. It's only brief so blink and you'll miss it!

The episode after that one at the end is very similar to [[Old Intro 2]]

===''Codename: Kids Next Door''===
On the Kids Next Door episode T.R.A.I.N.I.N.G. Numbuh 60's destination is their moon base, yet he calls it [[The Moon]] in a similar way as a soy-sauce-drunk Strong Bad did in the SB Email [[personal favorites]].

===''NFL Films: Game of the Week ('05 NFC Divisional Championship St Louis Rams Vs. Atlanta Falcons)''===
About three-quarters through this hour-long recap of the game (a Falcons' victory), one of the defensive linemen for Atlanta - Patrick Kearny perhaps? - points to his family in the stands. One of them is holding up a sign that says "GOOD JORB!", an unmistakable reference to Coach Z.

===''The Screen Savers''===
On an episode of The Screen Savers on G4TechTV there was a guest on there that knows how to make Atari 2600 games and he is making a [[Homestar Runner RPG]], which is still in development.

The [http://www.g4techtv.com/screensavers/episodes/3848/Home_Star_Runner_eXeem_LA_Auto_Show.html January 24th episode] of The Screen Savers had [[Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005|an interview]] with [[The Brothers Chaps]]. Also featured on this episode, puppet Strong Bad made his debut to answer questions from fans. The article also mentions that in order to learn more than one ever thought possible about [[Homestar Runner (flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]], one can head over to the Homestar Runner Wiki.

===''G4tv.com''===
On [http://www.g4tv.com/g4tv/episodes/3888/Men_are_from_World_of_Warcraft_Woman_are_From_The_Sims.html this episode] of G4tv.com on G4, an unnamed person, playing the role of Laura Foy's date, was seen wearing a "[[Trogdor (character)|Trogdor]]" shirt.

The strange, but funny, videoclip, entitled Gamer Dating Do's And Don'ts is now available for viewing at [http://www.g4tv.com/mediaplayer/index.aspx?video_key=9033 this location.]

===''The Geek Show''===
On "[http://www.thegeekshow.com/ The Geek Show]", [[Strong Bad Email]]s are frequently shown as an example of "What's funny on the internet." They have played both "[[japanese cartoon]]" and "[[dullard]]" on their show.

===''Junkin''===
On the television show [http://www.turnersouth.com/network/shows/junkin/ Junkin'], the host "Dave" has appeared wearing Trogdor and Strong Bad T-shirts.

=== ''Buffy'' ===
In the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Ep 7x22) Trogdor was used as a creature in a game of Dungeons and Dragons. The following is a transcript of the reference.

GILES: I'm—I'm—I'm all turned around. You're here?

XANDER: By the pillar, yeah. I'm protecting this area.

GILES: That puts me over by the door. Demons around the perimeter— Right! I open the door.

Pan over to show Andrew is also at the table, but he's wearing a red hooded cloak.

ANDREW: (reading from a book) You go through the door and are confronted by Trogdor the Burninator.

GILES: Oh, bugger it. Fight. (rolls dice, sips wine)

ANDREW: Adios to 5 hit points. Trogdor has badly wounded you.

GILES: Well, wait a minute. What about my... (puts on glasses) bag of illusions?

ANDREW: (scoffs) Illusions against a Burninator? Silly, silly British man. (Giles sips his wine again)

AMANDA: I invoke a time flux on Trogdor.

ANDREW: (looks at Amanda) Step down, girlfriend, you can't just—

AMANDA: Ninth level sorcerer, and I carry the emerald chalice. Trogdor is frozen in time. Deal with it. (writes something down)

=== ''Angel'' ===
In a season five episode of ''Angel'' entitled "The Girl In Question," (also entitled "An Italian job for Spike and Angel") Angel and Spike were looking for Buffy overseas. They arrived at the apartment where Buffy lives, but Andrew was the only one there. He was talking to them about someone named "The Immortal," and he was wearing a black Strong Bad t-shirt. Later in the episode, Andrew wore the same SB shirt with a pore strip plastered on his nose.

Incidentally, Andrew is the very same character who appeared in the Trogdor-laden ''Buffy'' reference. Since both shows are the brainchildren of creator/writer/executive director Joss Whedon, we can probably assume that the creator of the Buffyverse is also a fan of Homestarverse.

=== ''Megas XLR'' ===
In an episode called "Breakout", Coop tried to use an attack called Double Deuce by jumping and putting two fists in front of him.

In early 2004 the show Pulse on G4TechTV talked with the Brothers Chaps, and asked them about their new game that they are developing for the Atari 2600.

They announced that later this year they are going to release a DVD with the First 100 emails. Later after the commercial break they went to interview the company that is developing the Homestar Runner game. The company was Videlectrix of course. The whole interview was weird because you could tell that the Videlectrix owner was just one of the Brothers Chaps in a mustache but the whole making an Atari game was real.

=== ''Cheat'' ===
On one episode of Cheat on G4TechTV, they were talking about a name generator on "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" and if you made names long enough, Homsar's name would show up.

=== ''Survivor: Pearl Islands'' ===
When Ryan Shoulders (known on the show as Ryan S.) picks up some tree mail (the show's system of getting messages to the castaways), he sings the opening to SB Email [[techno]], singing it as "the tree mail, the tree mail, what, what, the tree mail." This may also explain Ryan S.' name appearing in the email "[[theme park]]".

=== ''X-Play'' ===
On an episode of G4TechTV's X-Play, the wrestling game "WWE: Day of Reckoning" is reviewed, and when the "create your own wrestler" mode is being demoed, the created wrestler (presumably created for the show, not by the game's developers) looks suspiciously like Strong Bad, and appears to be named alternately "SB" and "Essbee". You can see the [http://porplemontage.com/media/XPLAY_SB.wmv video here].

You have to listen a little bit to get to the segment. It features [[kind of cool]], as well as the email [[different town]]. It starts around 9:15 into the clip and lasts until the end.

=== ''The Rock''===
There was also a quote from [[Strong Bad]]'s character page on a La Crosse, Wisconson radio station called "95.7 The Rock." It goes from the part

=== ''Strong Bad Live!'' ===
On June 7th, 2003 at Giants Stadium, Radiohead, the Beastie Boys, and other big name bands of that sort played, but the best part was the showing of Strong Bad emails over the JumboTron in between acts.

=== ''Beastie Boys 2004 Pageant Tour ===

''Everybody to the Limit'' and other Homestar Runner footage might have been part of other Beastie Boys shows during the 2004 Pageant Tour, but no other sightings were reported up until now.

===''The Screen Savers''===
On an episode of The Screen Savers on G4TechTV there was a guest on there that knows how to make Atari 2600 games and he is making a [[Homestar Runner RPG]], which is still in development.

The [http://www.g4techtv.com/screensavers/episodes/3848/Home_Star_Runner_eXeem_LA_Auto_Show.html January 24th episode] of The Screen Savers had [[Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005|an interview]] with [[The Brothers Chaps]].

===''G4tv.com''===
On [http://www.g4tv.com/g4tv/episodes/3888/Men_are_from_World_of_Warcraft_Woman_are_From_The_Sims.html this episode] of G4tv.com on G4, an unnamed person, playing the role of Laura Foy's date, was seen wearing a "[[Trogdor (character)|Trogdor]]" shirt.

The strange, but funny, videoclip, entitled Gamer Dating Do's And Don'ts is now available for viewing at [http://www.g4tv.com/mediaplayer/index.aspx?video_key=9033 this location.]

===''Junkin''===
On the television show [http://www.turnersouth.com/network/shows/junkin/ Junkin'], the host "Dave" has appeared wearing Trogdor and Strong Bad T-shirts.

=== ''Buffy'' ===
In the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Ep 7x22) Trogdor was used as a creature in a game of Dungeons and Dragons. The following is a transcript of the reference.

GILES: I'm—I'm—I'm all turned around. You're here?

XANDER: By the pillar, yeah. I'm protecting this area.

GILES: That puts me over by the door. Demons around the perimeter— Right! I open the door.

Pan over to show Andrew is also at the table, but he's wearing a red hooded cloak.

ANDREW: (reading from a book) You go through the door and are confronted by Trogdor the Burninator.

GILES: Oh, bugger it. Fight. (rolls dice, sips wine)

ANDREW: Adios to 5 hit points. Trogdor has badly wounded you.

GILES: Well, wait a minute. What about my... (puts on glasses) bag of illusions?

ANDREW: (scoffs) Illusions against a Burninator? Silly, silly British man. (Giles sips his wine again)

AMANDA: I invoke a time flux on Trogdor.

ANDREW: (looks at Amanda) Step down, girlfriend, you can't just—

AMANDA: Ninth level sorcerer, and I carry the emerald chalice. Trogdor is frozen in time. Deal with it. (writes something down)

=== ''Angel'' ===
In a season five episode of ''Angel'' entitled "The Girl In Question," (also entitled "An Italian job for Spike and Angel") Angel and Spike were looking for Buffy overseas. They arrived at the apartment where Buffy lives, but Andrew was the only one there. He was talking to them about someone named "The Immortal," and he was wearing a black Strong Bad t-shirt. Later in the episode, Andrew wore the same SB shirt with a pore strip plastered on his nose.

Incidentally, Andrew is the very same character who appeared in the Trogdor-laden ''Buffy'' reference. Since both shows are the brainchildren of creator/writer/executive director Joss Whedon, we can probably assume that the creator of the Buffyverse is also a fan of Homestarverse.

=== ''Megas XLR'' ===

They announced that later this year they are going to release a DVD with the First 100 emails. Later after the commercial break they went to interview the company that is developing the Homestar Runner game. The company was Videlectrix of course. The whole interview was weird because you could tell that the Videlectrix owner was just one of the Brothers Chaps in a mustache but the whole making an Atari game was real.

=== ''Cheat'' ===
On one episode of Cheat on G4TechTV, they were talking about a name generator on "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" and if you made names long enough, Homsar's name would show up.

=== ''Survivor: Pearl Islands'' ===
When Ryan Shoulders (known on the show as Ryan S.) picks up some tree mail (the show's system of getting messages to the castaways), he sings the opening to SB Email [[techno]], singing it as "the tree mail, the tree mail, what, what, the tree mail." This may also explain Ryan S.' name appearing in the email "[[theme park]]".

=== ''X-Play'' ===
On an episode of G4TechTV's X-Play, the wrestling game "WWE: Day of Reckoning" is reviewed, and when the "create your own wrestler" mode is being demoed, the created wrestler (presumably created for the show, not by the game's developers) looks suspiciously like Strong Bad, and appears to be named alternately "SB" and "Essbee". You can see the [http://porplemontage.com/media/XPLAY_SB.wmv video here].

=== ''The Rock''===
There was also a quote from [[Strong Bad]]'s character page on a La Crosse, Wisconson radio station called "95.7 The Rock." It goes from the part

high-five, but I see that I'm already here."

=== ''Strong Bad Live!'' ===
On June 7th, 2003 at Giants Stadium, Radiohead, the Beastie Boys, and other big name bands of that sort played, but the best part was the showing of Strong Bad emails over the JumboTron in between acts.

=== ''Beastie Boys 2004 Pageant Tour ===

''Everybody to the Limit'' and other Homestar Runner footage might have been part of other Beastie Boys shows during the 2004 Pageant Tour, but no other sightings were reported up until now.
The JumboTron screens were an essential part of the show and were also used during the concert to show live footage of the stage as well as other pop culture reference material like accelerated footage of some Atari 2600 video games gameplay such as Frogger's and scenes from Battlestar Galactica (during their song '''Intergalactic''').

=== ''Trogdor at An Ivy school?''===
At the Yale-Princeton football game halftime show in November, 2004, the Princeton Band announcer was listing villains (I wont explain why), and the last one on the list was TROGDOR THE BURNINATOR. This show also included a formation based on Email 100: "This joke is of such historical significance that it can only be told in... WIDESCREEN. Left side BWAAAAAH. Right side BWAAAAAAH." (at which the left and right sides of the band formation went wide-screen)

Also, the Yale Anti-Gravity Society's fall 2004 juggling/fire show was basically an entire trogdor narrative: one guy, starring as Trogdor, complete with a huge muscular arm and green clothing, played the Limozeen version of "Trogdor!" while breathing fire-- there was also a peasant involved, who, throughout the course of the show, became on fire like a peasant. Good times at Yale.

===''Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends''===
During the episode "Bloo's Brothers" a Bloo clone that looks [http://www.deviantart.com/view/15766022/ freakishly similar to Homestar] appears. It's only brief so blink and you'll miss it!

The episode after that one at the end is very similar to [[Old Intro 2]]

===''Codename: Kids Next Door''===
On the Kids Next Door episode T.R.A.I.N.I.N.G. Numbuh 60's destination is their moon base, yet he calls it [[The Moon]] in a similar way as a soy-sauce-drunk Strong Bad did in the SB Email [[personal favorites]].

===''NFL Films: Game of the Week ('05 NFC Divisional Championship St Louis Rams Vs. Atlanta Falcons)''===
About three-quarters through this hour-long recap of the game (a Falcons' victory), one of the defensive linemen for Atlanta - Patrick Kearny perhaps? - points to his family in the stands. One of them is holding up a sign that says "GOOD JORB!", an unmistakable reference to Coach Z.

===''The Screen Savers''===
On an episode of The Screen Savers on G4TechTV there was a guest on there that knows how to make Atari 2600 games and he is making a [[Homestar Runner RPG]], which is still in development.

The [http://www.g4techtv.com/screensavers/episodes/3848/Home_Star_Runner_eXeem_LA_Auto_Show.html January 24th episode] of The Screen Savers had [[Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005|an interview]] with [[The Brothers Chaps]].

The article also mentions that in order to learn more than one ever thought possible about [[Homestar Runner (flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]], one can head over to the Homestar Runner Wiki.

===''G4tv.com''===
On [http://www.g4tv.com/g4tv/episodes/3888/Men_are_from_World_of_Warcraft_Woman_are_From_The_Sims.html this episode] of G4tv.com on G4, an unnamed person, playing the role of Laura Foy's date, was seen wearing a "[[Trogdor (character)|Trogdor]]" shirt.

The strange, but funny, videoclip, entitled Gamer Dating Do's And Don'ts is now available for viewing at [http://www.g4tv.com/mediaplayer/index.aspx?video_key=9033 this location.]

===''The Geek Show''===
On "[http://www.thegeekshow.com/ The Geek Show]", [[Strong Bad Email]]s are frequently shown as an example of "What's funny on the internet." They have played both "[[japanese cartoon]]" and "[[dullard]]" on their show.

===''Junkin''===
On the television show [http://www.turnersouth.com/network/shows/junkin/ Junkin'], the host "Dave" has appeared wearing Trogdor and Strong Bad T-shirts.

=== ''Buffy'' ===
In the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Ep 7x22) Trogdor was used as a creature in a game of Dungeons and Dragons. The following is a transcript of the reference.

GILES: I'm—I'm—I'm all turned around. You're here?

XANDER: By the pillar, yeah. I'm protecting this area.

GILES: That puts me over by the door. Demons around the perimeter— Right! I open the door.

Pan over to show Andrew is also at the table, but he's wearing a red hooded cloak.

ANDREW: (reading from a book) You go through the door and are confronted by Trogdor the Burninator.

GILES: Oh, bugger it. Fight. (rolls dice, sips wine)

ANDREW: Adios to 5 hit points. Trogdor has badly wounded you.

GILES: Well, wait a minute. What about my... (puts on glasses) bag of illusions?

ANDREW: (scoffs) Illusions against a Burninator? Silly, silly British man. (Giles sips his wine again)

AMANDA: I invoke a time flux on Trogdor.

ANDREW: (looks at Amanda) Step down, girlfriend, you can't just—

AMANDA: Ninth level sorcerer, and I carry the emerald chalice. Trogdor is frozen in time. Deal with it. (writes something down)

=== ''Angel'' ===
In a season five episode of ''Angel'' entitled "The Girl In Question," (also entitled "An Italian job for Spike and Angel") Angel and Spike were looking for Buffy overseas. They arrived at the apartment where Buffy lives, but Andrew was the only one there. He was talking to them about someone named "The Immortal," and he was wearing a black Strong Bad t-shirt. Later in the episode, Andrew wore the same SB shirt with a pore strip plastered on his nose.

Incidentally, Andrew is the very same character who appeared in the Trogdor-laden ''Buffy'' reference. Since both shows are the brainchildren of creator/writer/executive director Joss Whedon, we can probably assume that the creator of the Buffyverse is also a fan of Homestarverse.

=== ''Megas XLR'' ===
In an episode called "Breakout", Coop tried to use an attack called Double Deuce by jumping and putting two fists in front of him.

They announced that later this year they are going to release a DVD with the First 100 emails. Later after the commercial break they went to interview the company that is developing the Homestar Runner game. The company was Videlectrix of course. The whole interview was weird because you could tell that the Videlectrix owner was just one of the Brothers Chaps in a mustache but the whole making an Atari game was real.

=== ''Cheat'' ===
On one episode of Cheat on G4TechTV, they were talking about a name generator on "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" and if you made names long enough, Homsar's name would show up.

=== ''Survivor: Pearl Islands'' ===
When Ryan Shoulders (known on the show as Ryan S.) picks up some tree mail (the show's system of getting messages to the castaways), he sings the opening to SB Email [[techno]], singing it as "the tree mail, the tree mail, what, what, the tree mail." This may also explain Ryan S.' name appearing in the email "[[theme park]]".

=== ''X-Play'' ===
On an episode of G4TechTV's X-Play, the wrestling game "WWE: Day of Reckoning" is reviewed, and when the "create your own wrestler" mode is being demoed, the created wrestler (presumably created for the show, not by the game's developers) looks suspiciously like Strong Bad, and appears to be named alternately "SB" and "Essbee". You can see the [http://porplemontage.com/media/XPLAY_SB.wmv video here].

You have to listen a little bit to get to the segment. It features [[kind of cool]], as well as the email [[different town]]. It starts around 9:15 into the clip and lasts until the end.

=== ''The Rock''===
There was also a quote from [[Strong Bad]]'s character page on a La Crosse, Wisconson radio station called "95.7 The Rock." It goes from the part
where strong bad says, "Ladies form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high-fives," and stops at the part where Homestar says, "Well, I was going to get a
high-five, but I see that I'm already here."

[http://www.ampcast.com/music/4979/artist.php Karl Olson](Also known as Ultraklystron) recorded two homestar-related songs, a cover of [[The Skate Party]] song [http://www.ampcast.com/LST-67826-mus-128-5890398-0-0-0-DLDLZTREGXSJDLGXDL/Ultraklystron__Strong_Sad_Rocks_Out_Original_by_the_Skate_Party.m3u Strong Sad Rocks Out]and an original song, [http://www.ampcast.com/LST-67834-mus-128-5890398-0-0-0-DLDLZTREGXSJDLFQO/Ultraklystron__Hes_Homsar.m3u He's Homsar].

=== ''Strong Bad Live!'' ===
On June 7th, 2003 at Giants Stadium, Radiohead, the Beastie Boys, and other big name bands of that sort played, but the best part was the showing of Strong Bad emails over the JumboTron in between acts. They also showed [[Everybody to the Limit]] and it had a special new introduction wherein Strong Bad complained that he wasn't allowed on stage even though he had been the #1 hit for two summers in a row.

=== ''Beastie Boys 2004 Pageant Tour ===
On December 16th 2004 at the Zenith in Munich, Germany, the Beastie Boys used two JumboTron screens on the left and right side of the stage to present to the crowd the first one and a half minutes of [[Everybody to the Limit]]. Even though most of the listeners might have never heard of Homestar Runner or Strong Bad the crowd was cheering and clapping their hands rhythmically with the music.
''Everybody to the Limit'' and other Homestar Runner footage might have been part of other Beastie Boys shows during the 2004 Pageant Tour, but no other sightings were reported up until now.
The JumboTron screens were an essential part of the show and were also used during the concert to show live footage of the stage as well as other pop culture reference material like accelerated footage of some Atari 2600 video games gameplay such as Frogger's and scenes from Battlestar Galactica (during their song '''Intergalactic''').

=== ''Trogdor at An Ivy school?''===
At the Yale-Princeton football game halftime show in November, 2004, the Princeton Band announcer was listing villains (I wont explain why), and the last one on the list was TROGDOR THE BURNINATOR. This show also included a formation based on Email 100: "This joke is of such historical significance that it can only be told in... WIDESCREEN. Left side BWAAAAAH. Right side BWAAAAAAH." (at which the left and right sides of the band formation went wide-screen)

Also, the Yale Anti-Gravity Society's fall 2004 juggling/fire show was basically an entire trogdor narrative: one guy, starring as Trogdor, complete with a huge muscular arm and green clothing, played the Limozeen version of "Trogdor!" while breathing fire-- there was also a peasant involved, who, throughout the course of the show, became on fire like a peasant. Good times at Yale.

== TELEVISION ==

===''Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends''===
During the episode "Bloo's Brothers" a Bloo clone that looks [http://www.deviantart.com/view/15766022/ freakishly similar to Homestar] appears. It's only brief so blink and you'll miss it!

The episode after that one at the end is very similar to [[Old Intro 2]]

===''Codename: Kids Next Door''===
On the Kids Next Door episode T.R.A.I.N.I.N.G. Numbuh 60's destination is their moon base, yet he calls it [[The Moon]] in a similar way as a soy-sauce-drunk Strong Bad did in the SB Email [[personal favorites]].

===''NFL Films: Game of the Week ('05 NFC Divisional Championship St Louis Rams Vs. Atlanta Falcons)''===
About three-quarters through this hour-long recap of the game (a Falcons' victory), one of the defensive linemen for Atlanta - Patrick Kearny perhaps? - points to his family in the stands. One of them is holding up a sign that says "GOOD JORB!", an unmistakable reference to Coach Z.

===''The Screen Savers''===
On an episode of The Screen Savers on G4TechTV there was a guest on there that knows how to make Atari 2600 games and he is making a [[Homestar Runner RPG]], which is still in development.

The [http://www.g4techtv.com/screensavers/episodes/3848/Home_Star_Runner_eXeem_LA_Auto_Show.html January 24th episode] of The Screen Savers had [[Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005|an interview]] with [[The Brothers Chaps]]. Also featured on this episode, puppet Strong Bad made his debut to answer questions from fans. The article also mentions that in order to learn more than one ever thought possible about [[Homestar Runner (flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]], one can head over to the Homestar Runner Wiki.

===''G4tv.com''===
On [http://www.g4tv.com/g4tv/episodes/3888/Men_are_from_World_of_Warcraft_Woman_are_From_The_Sims.html this episode] of G4tv.com on G4, an unnamed person, playing the role of Laura Foy's date, was seen wearing a "[[Trogdor (character)|Trogdor]]" shirt.

The strange, but funny, videoclip, entitled Gamer Dating Do's And Don'ts is now available for viewing at [http://www.g4tv.com/mediaplayer/index.aspx?video_key=9033 this location.]

===''The Geek Show''===
On "[http://www.thegeekshow.com/ The Geek Show]", [[Strong Bad Email]]s are frequently shown as an example of "What's funny on the internet." They have played both "[[japanese cartoon]]" and "[[dullard]]" on their show.

===''Junkin''===
On the television show [http://www.turnersouth.com/network/shows/junkin/ Junkin'], the host "Dave" has appeared wearing Trogdor and Strong Bad T-shirts.

=== ''Buffy'' ===
In the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Ep 7x22) Trogdor was used as a creature in a game of Dungeons and Dragons. The following is a transcript of the reference.

GILES: I'm—I'm—I'm all turned around. You're here?

XANDER: By the pillar, yeah. I'm protecting this area.

GILES: That puts me over by the door. Demons around the perimeter— Right! I open the door.

Pan over to show Andrew is also at the table, but he's wearing a red hooded cloak.

ANDREW: (reading from a book) You go through the door and are confronted by Trogdor the Burninator.

GILES: Oh, bugger it. Fight. (rolls dice, sips wine)

ANDREW: Adios to 5 hit points. Trogdor has badly wounded you.

GILES: Well, wait a minute. What about my... (puts on glasses) bag of illusions?

ANDREW: (scoffs) Illusions against a Burninator? Silly, silly British man. (Giles sips his wine again)

AMANDA: I invoke a time flux on Trogdor.

ANDREW: (looks at Amanda) Step down, girlfriend, you can't just—

AMANDA: Ninth level sorcerer, and I carry the emerald chalice. Trogdor is frozen in time. Deal with it. (writes something down)

=== ''Angel'' ===
In a season five episode of ''Angel'' entitled "The Girl In Question," (also entitled "An Italian job for Spike and Angel") Angel and Spike were looking for Buffy overseas. They arrived at the apartment where Buffy lives, but Andrew was the only one there. He was talking to them about someone named "The Immortal," and he was wearing a black Strong Bad t-shirt. Later in the episode, Andrew wore the same SB shirt with a pore strip plastered on his nose.

Incidentally, Andrew is the very same character who appeared in the Trogdor-laden ''Buffy'' reference. Since both shows are the brainchildren of creator/writer/executive director Joss Whedon, we can probably assume that the creator of the Buffyverse is also a fan of Homestarverse.

=== ''Megas XLR'' ===
In an episode called "Breakout", Coop tried to use an attack called Double Deuce by jumping and putting two fists in front of him.

=== ''Monster House'' ===
In an episode of Monster House called "[http://www.tvtome.com/MonsterHouse/season1.html#ep18 Sports House]," the host Steve is wearing a Strong Bad T-shirt during the introductions. This episode first aired February 2, 2004.

=== ''Pulse Interview'' ===
In early 2004 the show Pulse on G4TechTV talked with the Brothers Chaps, and asked them about their new game that they are developing for the Atari 2600. They showed many video clips of their Atari game. The Chaps told about how they record their voices and how successful they have been. They announced that later this year they are going to release a DVD with the First 100 emails. Later after the commercial break they went to interview the company that is developing the Homestar Runner game. The company was Videlectrix of course. The whole interview was weird because you could tell that the Videlectrix owner was just one of the Brothers Chaps in a mustache but the whole making an Atari game was real.

=== ''Cheat'' ===
On one episode of Cheat on G4TechTV, they were talking about a name generator on "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" and if you made names long enough, Homsar's name would show up.

=== ''Survivor: Pearl Islands'' ===
When Ryan Shoulders (known on the show as Ryan S.) picks up some tree mail (the show's system of getting messages to the castaways), he sings the opening to SB Email [[techno]], singing it as "the tree mail, the tree mail, what, what, the tree mail." This may also explain Ryan S.' name appearing in the email "[[theme park]]".

=== ''X-Play'' ===
On an episode of G4TechTV's X-Play, the wrestling game "WWE: Day of Reckoning" is reviewed, and when the "create your own wrestler" mode is being demoed, the created wrestler (presumably created for the show, not by the game's developers) looks suspiciously like Strong Bad, and appears to be named alternately "SB" and "Essbee". You can see the [http://porplemontage.com/media/XPLAY_SB.wmv video here].

=== ''Super Size Me'' ===
In the movie ''[[IMDb:tt0390521|Super Size Me]]'', there are a group of kids at the computer where one is watching an old Tandy era Strong Bad Email.

=== ''CNN Student News'' ===

On CNN Headline News, there is this short news magazine called [http://cnnstudentnews.cnn.com/fyi/index.html/ CNN Student News].

=== ''Metroid Confusion: Parts 1 and 2'' ===
At [http://www.flashplayer.com Flashplayer.com], there is a movie entitled [http://www.flashplayer.com/animation/metroidconfusion_movie.php "Metroid Confusion"], and at the beginning there are three computers and one has the H*R page displayed on its monitor.

Hello everybody. Welcome to me! I've been on Homestarrunner.com for a little under a year, but I've still made some good changes to the Wiki. Yes, I am the guy that runs around, tweaking everyone's grammar, but it just makes stuff so much nicer, eh?

My real name's Jimmy Blinn, in case Strong Bad ever answers one of my e-mails.

Well, that about wraps it up. Now get back to the site, there's nothing else here.

Seriously, there are better things to do.

If you find this fun, then go ahead, I won't stop you...

Oh well, you can't win 'em all. So until next time, keep posting your articles, and I will edit your spelling and grammar. I mean... actually, I *will* edit your spelling and grammar.

Sincerely,

I'll change my name to Strong Badman if you agree to be my sidekick: Li'l Stiny. And you can wear a little mask and a little cape...

''{The camera zooms back and we see The Cheat appear wearing a mask covering his eyes and a little cape.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey The Cheat... Er, just doing an email.

'''THE CHEAT:''' Hrinun.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? No! Of course you're still my sidekick!

'''THE CHEAT:''' Uhuynidah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that cape looks great on you. Look, I was speaking hypothetically.

'''THE CHEAT:''' Uhuysuwituwa!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh come on, don't give me that!

'''THE CHEAT:''' Ptawoh!!!

''{The Cheat walks away angrily.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, The Cheat!

''{A "Strong Badman" comic book appears on the screen with a picture of Strong Badman drawn on it (see above). On the bottom of the page, there's a blurb that reads "CLICK '''HERE''' TO EMAIL STRONG BAD!!" Click on the text to email him.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*For the first time, [[The Paper]] doesn't come down at the end of this email.
===Remarks===
*Strong Bad's floppies don't have a name.
*Even though Strong Bad says that Strong Badman is a "supervillain," he gets his name on the comic. This is probably due to the fact that when Strong Bad E-mails first started, Strong Bad was still considered the villain of the Homestar universe.
*The sound played at the end of the e-mail, when the comic book appears onscreen, is the same one that is used whenever Strong Bad kicks the Trogdor Arcade Game.

===Goofs===
*The [[No Loafing Sign|"No Loafing" sign]] is in the wrong place.

===Real-World References===
*Unbeknownst to viewers of this email, Stiny is the name of Homestar creator [[Craig Zobel]]'s little brother.
*[[Cheap as Free]] Comics has the same logo style as most early '90s Marvel comics, including a character in the top left corner, price and issue number, and Comics Code Authority symbol. The black and white logo at the bottom left closely resembles comics featuring Spiderman.
*"All these...emails...I don't understand.", is a reference to the [http://www.eltonjohn.com/flash_index.asp Elton John] classic "Rocketman" (another "-man" name), as performed by [http://www.williamshatner.com/ William Shatner] at the 1981 Science Fiction Awards (as mentioned in the DVD commentary). One line of the song is, "All this science I don't understand..." The intonation is dead on. Footage of the performance is available on the Net; it's classic Shatner cheesiness.

===Fast Forward===
*Cheap as Free Comics also appears in [[haircut]] with "The Total Adventures of Strong Badman." It seems Strong Bad finally added -man to his superhero persona.

== DVD Version ==
*The DVD version has a hidden creators' commentary. Just switch your DVD's audio language selection during this email.

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

'''MATT:''' That's a reference to Shatner performing Rocketman—

'''MIKE:''' That's true

'''MATT:''' —at the 1981 Science Fiction...

'''MIKE:''' Science Fiction Awards, yes.

'''MATT:''' Video Awards or whatever. Um, so ''this'' one, it was great. We, um... I remember, we finished this, we worked on it some at my Uncle John's house in Winnemac, Indiana

'''MIKE:''' Some at grandpa's.

'''MATT:''' And we finished it up.

'''MIKE:''' Aunt Dean's old room.

'''MATT:''' In Aunt Dean's old room, and there was nothing there. We could wax the floor that day. So it's this room with this old, that old, like, 2 inch thick wallpaper. And, uh, with some pink print.

'''MIKE:''' Pink flowers, yeah.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. And, just, we brought a TV tray and finished it on this laptop that kept crashing Flash 5. It took us forever to finish it. And, uh, did we, I wonder if you have that picture somewhere, 'cause I remember you took a picture—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think I do.

'''MATT:''' —'cause we were going to make it look like, the uh, say this is our office. Just this giant, empty old—old lady's room with me and Mike. The laptop. How about those white circles The Cheat has for eyes?

'''MIKE:''' Is that the first No Loafing sign?

'''MATT:''' Uhh, maybe.

'''MIKE:''' I dunno.

'''MATT:''' I don't know if processing—was processing around yet?

'''MIKE:''' Uh, yeah.

'''MATT:''' 'Cause I think that's where it first appeared.

=== Fun Facts ===
*Matt's talk of processing is a reference to the [[Email Processing Room]] (where, coincidentally, the No Loafing sign does NOT make an appearance).

Teplotaxl: /* Fun Facts */ spellchecka again

[[Image:poptiregame.PNG|thumb|Population... TIIIRREEE!]]
A game by [[Videlectrix]] where you bounce the [[Tire]] around with your mouse and try to hit things like [[The Cheat]], a bird, a balloon, and [[Strong Sad]]. Sometimes the wind changes direction to make it harder. Every time you hit an object, the multiplier goes up one. When your multiplier goes too high, a spinning cold one will fly through. Never break a [[Cold One]]. If you break them you get 5 subtracted from your multiplier. They go by more and more as you get a higher score.

'''Page Title:''' I FEEL ASLEEP!
__FORCETOC__
== Premise ==

In the year 19xx, the citizens of Strongbadia are terrorized by a faceless foe. As a top secret crack commando operative, it is you(r) job to protect the last remaining citizen from touching the tainted soil. You are (a) soldier! Score points by bouncing tire with mouse. Hit infidels to increase the value of each bounce. String combos to prevent the value from dropping over time. You one are of brave few.(You are one of a brave few.) Accept your mission and step fourth. And remember; never, ever break a cold one.

== Fun Facts ==

* Instead of the usual loading screen, the game starts with a parody of the Commodore 64 boot screen:

*** COMPYDORE 64 BASIC V2 ***
64K RAM SYSTEM 38911 BASIC BYTES FREE
READY.
LOAD "*",8,1
SEARCHING FOR *

*The above is another indicator that this game is a close parody of a C64 game, in which you bounced a balloon around to similar effect.
**As well, this shows that the [[Compy 386]] is probably a reference to the 'Commodore 64' computer.
**The Compy 386's monitor is definitely a reference to the C64, however, the keyboard would have to be shaped differently so as to include the Hard Disk, and all of the peripherals should plug into it, with the power going on to the opposite side than usual, and the 80386 processor is for PC computers, thus meaning that the Compy 386 must be some sort of new computer by [[Compy, Inc]]. perhaps it is like a Commodore Amiga for PCs.

* The page title for the game says "I FEEL ASLEEP!", which is a reference to the original "Metal Gear" game for NES.

* When you score 500 points or higher a plane flies by and gives you a different message. The possible messages are:
**YOU RULE
**PURE FUN
**GIVE IT UP
**HI-FIVE
**POP:YOU
**ROCK/ROLL
**GOOD ONE
**TIRE-TASTIC!
**JAM ON IT
**LET GO
**PARTY.WOO!
**PARDON ME?
**X-L-NT
**GROW IT OUT
**PARENTAL!!
**GOSH!
**LOVIN' IT
**SPANKIN'!
**YOU 4 EVA
**YOU.COM
**YOU.CALM
**WISHIWASU
**WHO'S THAT?
**THE BOUNCA!

* The bird and sounds in this game are a reference to the 1988 game 'California Games'. The very same bird can also be found in the "take-a-break.exe" application highlighted in [[huttah!]]

* The background changes with the time of day. If it's night then you'll get a night backround, etc.

* When it says, "In the year 19XX", it's a reference to Megaman.

* The year "19XX" could posssibly be a reference to the Super Nintendo game, Earthbound, where it is the year "199X"

* Several sounds in the game are taken from the C-64 game 'Wiz Ball', an almost surrealistic shooter. These include bouncing the tire off of The Cheat's head (Wiz shoots) and breaking a cold one (Wiz dies).

* Destroying a balloon makes the same sound as running through an explosion in the C64 game 'Paradroid'.

* The parody used to say "9,1", but was fixed. 9 means the second drive

== Fun Facts ==
*After the false message about 6 to 8 weeks delivery, the page always directs you to [[Main Page 19]].

**Senor Cardgage / Creepy Comb-over Strong Bad showing a pie chart to Homestar, dressed in his pajamas and robe from [[caper]]
**Strong Bad with the [[Lappy 486]] as The Cheat serves him Strong Sad's head on a platter.

**Strong Bad destroying a city (à la [[Wikipedia:Godzilla|Godzilla]]).
**Strong Bad in front of [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], which has gained [[Bubs]]' eyes and mouth.

**A screenshot from the Videlectrix game [[Rabbit Algebra]].
*None of the screenshots on the first two pages are from actual toons or emails. The StrongBadZone screenshot contains a quote not found in the game.

=== Inside References ===
*When your ship is destroyed in the trial game, the message "YOUR HEAD A SPLODE" appears, with "head" changing to "ship" a split-second later. This is an obvious reference to [[StrongBadZone]].
*All the sprites in the trial game come from the secret games on [[Strong Bad's Message Bored]].

=== Real-World References ===
*The entire April Fool's site is a parody of the preview pages on many adult-oriented porn pay-sites on the Internet: the trial videos, the free tour that ends with a sign-up page, the tacky design and layout, and the "streaming video game feeds" all mimic said pages.
*The trial game is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_invaders Space Invaders] clone.
*"I'm a real boy!", is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Pinnochio|Pinnochio]], a wooden puppet who was turned "real" and made a similar remark in at least one version of the story.
*The wheelchair's comment that he's going to "come out of his shell at the Friday night dance and show everybody who's who" may be a reference to the infamous prom scene in ''[http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0074285/ Carrie]'' when the title character gets her revenge or to many teen movies which culminate in a scene at a school dance.
*On the third page, the line "GEE-AMES!" may be a reference to Lil John from Lil John and the East Side Boyz.

Peasant's Quest Preview

Teplotaxl: /* Fun Facts */ items at end

[[Image:pquesttrailer.PNG|thumb|Good graphics]]

This advertises the newest Trogdor game, released in August 2004 as it originally claimed. You are Rather Dashing, a peasant wearing short pants, on a mission to slay the evil Trogdor for burninating his cottage.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Poor Gary]], [[Baby Lady]], [[Trogdor (character)|Trogdor]], [[Rather Dashing]], [[Kerrek]], [[Videlectrix|Graphic Designers]]

'''Places:''' [[Peasantry]]

'''Date:''' July 19, 2004

'''Running Time:''' 1:10

'''Page Title:''' Coming Soon from Vitrelecix!

== Transcript ==

'''VOICEOVER''': ''{Drifting past game scenes}'' ''A real long time ago, in the peasant kingdom of Peasantry, some people lived'' {screen goes black, flash of lightning}) '''''IN FEAR!''''' {flash of lightning and Trogdor}. '''''You''' are Rather Dashing, a peasant wearing short pants, who returns from his vacation to find his thatched-roof cottage '''BURNINATED!''' You swear revenge and embark on an incredible journey to vanquish the Burninator once and for all.'' '''''PEASANT'S QUEST!'''''

'''COMPANY SPOKESMAN''': From the company that made that game ''TROGDOR!'' ''{Videlectrix logo, guy with cigarette}'', and that game ''Rabbit Algebra'', comes a graphical text adventure of rather large proportions. Videlectrix programmers have actually been hard at work bringing this epic adventure to life. ''{Two screens of two programmers working at a computer}'' Make your way through the lush 16 color landscapes of Peasantry using our state of the art text commands ''{get berries}'' and interface ''{throw baby}''. Featuring 2-bit mono PC internal speaker sound! ''{Plays the Peasant's Quest theme in computerised beeps.}''

'''VOICEOVER''': ''Can one Peasant wearing short pants save the country-side from certain Burnination?'' {Rather Dashing slips in the mud, and then is clumped on the head by Kerrek} ''YOU DECIDE!''

'''COMPANY SPOKESMAN''': Coming soon to a 286 CGA enabled PC* near you! ''{*MAXIMUM REQUIREMENTS}''.

''{Flash of Trogdor breathing fire followed by the message''

'''TROGDOR IS WAITING'''

''and a 2-bit sound clip of the Trogdor Song.'' '''AUGUST 2004''' }

== Easter Eggs ==

* Click on the top right corner at the end of the preview to listen as game designers "discuss" what it means to have good graphics.

=== Transcript ===

'''FIRST PROGRAMMER''': WHAT DID I SAY?

'''SECOND PROGRAMMER''': Good graph—to make—

'''FIRST PROGRAMMER''': WHAT DID I TELL YOU TO DO?

'''SECOND PROGRAMMER''': To make good graphics.

'''FIRST PROGRAMMER''': GOOD GRAPHICS! I COME TO WORK AND I HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS MESS!

'''SECOND PROGRAMMER''': I can make good graphics.

'''FIRST PROGRAMMER''': I—YOU BETTER MAKE GOOD GRAPHICS! I'M SUPPOSED TO RELEASE A VIDEO COMPUTER GAME ON TV WITHOUT THIS GRAPHIC!

'''SECOND PROGRAMMER''': What?

'''FIRST PROGRAMMER''': YOU HEARD ME!

== Fun Facts ==

* This game is a spoof on the old visual text adventure series from Sierra On-Line (''King's Quest'', ''Police Quest'', ''Space Quest'', ''Quest for Glory'', etc.) The "peasant kingdom of [[Peasantry]]" is probably a spoof of ''King's Quest'' which is set in the land of Daventry. This is not the first Sierra On-Line visual text game to be mentioned on the site, [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] said "You should see ''Space Quest 3''. It looks awesome!" to [[Strong Sad]] according to [[Strong Sad's Lament|his blog]].
*The style that the well Rather Dashing is standing near at the beginning of the short is also remarkably similar to ''King's Quest''. In that game, you had to get in the well bucket and ride down to the bottom then swim to a hidden cave where the dragon was.
* The man fishing in the lake is reminiscent of a game called ''Hugo's House of Horrors''. In that game, the man in the boat asked you trivia questions similar to those asked by the guardians near the end of this game.
* When you click 'back' at the end of this short, it takes you to [[Main Page 13]] (Atari graphics) every time.
* The "chug chug chug" sound at the end and during the demonstration of the 2-bit sound is produced by many old 5.25" floppy drives—the sound comes from the read/write head bumping into the rear drive assembly to realign itself. This one sounds like an Apple Disk II drive.
* Near the end of the cartoon, it says the maximum requirements are "a 286 CGA enabled PC." This can't be true because the 16-color pallette shown must be EGA. CGA would only show four colors in that resolution.
*The computer is an Apple II.
*''[[Rabbit Algebra]]'' might be a reference to an old game called "Reader Rabbit". It may also be a spoof on "Number Magic", an arithmetic quiz game that involved a rabbit.
* The equation from "Rabbit Algebra" reads: x^2 + 18 = 99. The answer is x = ±9.
*The title of the window actually says "Coming Soon from ''Vitrelecix''!!" This is most likely an intentional typo.
*The first programmer sounds a bit like a cross between [[Coach Z]] and [[Homestar Runner]], while the second programmer sounds a bit like [[Strong Sad]]'s Old Voice.
*The burning peasant on the final screen is from the pencil drawings done by Strong Sad in [[dragon]].
*The logo looks like the one of the [http://www.battleon.com Adventure Quest RPG].
*The computer that is in this cartoon is the same computer that is on the [http://www.videlectrix.com Videlectrix Homepage].
*In the clip of "Rabbit Algebra," you have 2x=6 mans, or 3 mans.
*Also in "Rabbit Algebra," you have a score of logx14, which would make x the "score" the root of 14
*When a screenshot of the game is shown with the command "get berries," the possible point total (at the top of the screen) is 200. However, in the actual game, it is only 150—evidently, something changed in the course of development.
*Surprisingly, the "throw baby" command shown actually works in the game. See [[Peasant's Quest]].
*When Rather Dashing holds up the Trog-Sword, he isn't wearing the Trog-Helmet or carrying the Trog-Shield, even though in the game he would get those items before the sword.

'''Strong Bad Email #92'''

A writer asks Strong Bad if he would be as cool if he wasn't the "stylish, buff, handsome man" that he is. Strong Bad says he would and describes what he would be like instead.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks for choosing Strong Bad Email. Would you like to try a combo meal?

''{reading}''

<pre>Hey strong bad,
Dude, I was just thinkin and wonderin
what it would be like if you weren't
the stylish, buff, handsome man in a
wrestling mask that you are.

Your devoted fan,
Jordan</pre>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "Jordan" as "Jor-dan."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So you mean, like, what would it be like if I was an ugly dumpy guy with a beer belly and a comb-over? I'd still probably be the coolest guy in the world, just a different kind of cool. More of a "I'm so cool, you don't even know I'm cool" kind of cool. Or the kind of cool where

''Cut to what is presumably Strong Bad walking in the field. We can only see him from the waist down. He is dragging a plastic Aldi's bag}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I'm always walking around with a plastic grocery bag full of mysterious unknown contents. Maybe it's cold pizza. Maybe it's rotten vegetables. Or maybe it's the shattered pieces of my former life.

''{Camera pans up during the dialogue and we see this version of Strong Bad has a creepy comb-over, beer tummy, goatee, and glasses. Cut to Bubs' concession stand, where Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad gets in line.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Or maybe it's just full of a bunch of melty candy bars that I eat really loudly while standing too close to you in line.

''{Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad pulls out a melty candy bar and starts munching.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{to Pom Pom}'' Hey Pom Pom! This guy smells like pea soup. ''{Singing, to Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad}'' You smell like pea soooup!

''{Cut to a small bush. We see Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad slowly rise up from behind it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And then I'd always be suspiciously coming out of bushes and shrubs a lot. Like, right when you walk by.

''{Homestar walks by the bush}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And if I see you-

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{surprised}'' Whoa!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I'd say some cool phrase that's almost one word and not quite another.

'''CREEPY COMB-OVER STRONG BAD:''' ''{to Homestar Runner}'' Oh, excardon me!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' Um, I don't know what that means.... And you still smell like pea soooup!

''{Cut to Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad and Strong Mad standing in the field. CCOSB has dropped his glasses on the ground}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And I'd be so cool, that even if you were a dude, I'd still call at you like you were a lady.

'''CREEPY COMB-OVER STRONG BAD:''' ''{to Strong Mad; he says one of following three things every time you watch it:}'' 
''{1}'' I'm very sorry, ma'am, but could you help an old denominator, like me, gather his spectacles? 
''{2}'' I'm sorry, ma'am. Would you mind helping an old wintergreen gather his spectacles? 
''{3}'' Sorry to bother you, ma'am. Could you help an old Soderbergh gather his spectacles?

'''STRONG MAD:''' NOOOOOOOOO!

''{Strong Mad runs away. Cut to Strong Bad back in front of the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' That's a pretty cool guy right there. It's good to know that if I ever let myself go and grow a couple feet...live behind a bush... I'll be sitting pretty.

''{Cut to Strong Sad standing next to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, excardon me, but none of that stuff is cool, Strong Bad. You basically described that creep Señor Cardgage that lived down the street from us when we were little.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What!? You didn't think Senor ''{pronounces it "seh-nor"}'' Cardgage was cool?

'''STRONG SAD:''' No! He was extremely sketchy and gave me nightmares.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And... What's not cool about giving you nightmares?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks for choosing Strong Bad Email. Would you like to try a combo meal?

''{reading}''

<pre>Hey strong bad,
Dude, I was just thinkin and wonderin
what it would be like if you weren't
the stylish, buff, handsome man in a
wrestling mask that you are.

Your devoted fan,
Jordan</pre>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "Jordan" as "Jor-dan."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So you mean, like, what would it be like if I was an ugly dumpy guy with a beer belly and a comb-over? I'd still probably be the coolest guy in the world, just a different kind of cool. More of a "I'm so cool, you don't even know I'm cool" kind of cool. Or the kind of cool where

''Cut to what is presumably Strong Bad walking in the field. We can only see him from the waist down. He is dragging a plastic Aldi's bag}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I'm always walking around with a plastic grocery bag full of mysterious unknown contents. Maybe it's cold pizza. Maybe it's rotten vegetables. Or maybe it's the shattered pieces of my former life.

''{Camera pans up during the dialogue and we see this version of Strong Bad has a creepy comb-over, beer tummy, goatee, and glasses. Cut to Bubs' concession stand, where Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad gets in line.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Or maybe it's just full of a bunch of melty candy bars that I eat really loudly while standing too close to you in line.

''{Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad pulls out a melty candy bar and starts munching.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{to Pom Pom}'' Hey Pom Pom! This guy smells like pea soup. ''{Singing, to Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad}'' You smell like pea soooup!

''{Cut to a small bush. We see Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad slowly rise up from behind it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And then I'd always be suspiciously coming out of bushes and shrubs a lot. Like, right when you walk by.

''{Homestar walks by the bush}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And if I see you-

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{surprised}'' Whoa!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I'd say some cool phrase that's almost one word and not quite another.

'''CREEPY COMB-OVER STRONG BAD:''' ''{to Homestar Runner}'' Oh, excardon me!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' Um, I don't know what that means.... And you still smell like pea soooup!

''{Cut to Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad and Strong Mad standing in the field. CCOSB has dropped his glasses on the ground}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And I'd be so cool, that even if you were a dude, I'd still call at you like you were a lady.

'''CREEPY COMB-OVER STRONG BAD:''' ''{to Strong Mad; he says one of following three things every time you watch it:}'' 
''{1}'' I'm very sorry, ma'am, but could you help an old denominator, like me, gather his spectacles? 
''{2}'' I'm sorry, ma'am. Would you mind helping an old wintergreen gather his spectacles? 
''{3}'' Sorry to bother you, ma'am. Could you help an old Soderbergh gather his spectacles?

'''STRONG MAD:''' NOOOOOOOOO!

''{Strong Mad runs away. Cut to Strong Bad back in front of the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' That's a pretty cool guy right there. It's good to know that if I ever let myself go and grow a couple feet...live behind a bush... I'll be sitting pretty.

''{Cut to Strong Sad standing next to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, excardon me, but none of that stuff is cool, Strong Bad. You basically described that creep Señor Cardgage that lived down the street from us when we were little.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What!? You didn't think Senor ''{pronounces it "seh-nor"}'' Cardgage was cool?

'''STRONG SAD:''' No! He was extremely sketchy and gave me nightmares.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And... What's not cool about giving you nightmares?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh never mind. Go back to your creepy comb-over story.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Anyways Jor-dan, creepy comb-over story Strong Bad is definitely a cool, cool guy. In fact, I wouldn't mind hanging out with a guy like that. Well, things certainly are looking up for the future. Me, I'm gonna go look up Senor Cardgage. ''{stops typing.}'' See where that guy ended up.

== TELEVISION ==

===''Codename: Kids Next Door''===
On the Kids Next Door episode T.R.A.I.N.I.N.G. Numbuh 60's destination is their moon base, yet he calls it [[The Moon]] in a similar way as a soy-sauce-drunk Strong Bad did in the SB Email [[personal favorites]].

===''NFL Films: Game of the Week ('05 NFC Divisional Championship St Louis Rams Vs. Atlanta Falcons)''===
About three-quarters through this hour-long recap of the game (a Falcons' victory), one of the defensive linemen for Atlanta - Patrick Kearny perhaps? - points to his family in the stands. One of them is holding up a sign that says "GOOD JORB!", an unmistakable reference to Coach Z.

===''The Screen Savers''===
On an episode of The Screen Savers on G4TechTV there was a guest on there that knows how to make Atari 2600 games and he is making a [[Homestar Runner RPG]], which is still in development.

The [http://www.g4techtv.com/screensavers/episodes/3848/Home_Star_Runner_eXeem_LA_Auto_Show.html January 24th episode] of The Screen Savers had [[Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005|an interview]] with [[The Brothers Chaps]]. Also featured on this episode, puppet Strong Bad made his debut to answer questions from fans. The article also mentions that in order to learn more than one ever thought possible about [[Homestar Runner (flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]], one can head over to the Homestar Runner Wiki.

===''G4tv.com''===
On [http://www.g4tv.com/g4tv/episodes/3888/Men_are_from_World_of_Warcraft_Woman_are_From_The_Sims.html this episode] of G4tv.com on G4, an unnamed person, playing the role of Laura Foy's date, was seen wearing a "[[Trogdor]]" shirt.

The videoclip, entitled Gamer Dating Do's And Don'ts is now available for viewing at [http://www.g4tv.com/mediaplayer/index.aspx?video_key=9033 this location.]

===''The Geek Show''===
On "[http://www.thegeekshow.com/ The Geek Show]", [[Strong Bad Email]]s are frequently shown as an example of "What's funny on the internet." They have played both "[[japanese cartoon]]" and "[[dullard]]" on their show.

===''Junkin''===
On the television show [http://www.turnersouth.com/network/shows/junkin/ Junkin'], the host "Dave" has appeared wearing [[Trogdor]] and Strong Bad T-shirts.

=== ''Buffy'' ===
In the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Ep 7x22) Trogdor was used as a creature in a game of Dungeons and Dragons. The following is a transcript of the reference.

GILES: I'm—I'm—I'm all turned around. You're here?

XANDER: By the pillar, yeah. I'm protecting this area.

GILES: That puts me over by the door. Demons around the perimeter— Right! I open the door.

Pan over to show Andrew is also at the table, but he's wearing a red hooded cloak.

ANDREW: (reading from a book) You go through the door and are confronted by Trogdor the Burninator.

GILES: Oh, bugger it. Fight. (rolls dice, sips wine)

ANDREW: Adios to 5 hit points. Trogdor has badly wounded you.

GILES: Well, wait a minute. What about my... (puts on glasses) bag of illusions?

ANDREW: (scoffs) Illusions against a Burninator? Silly, silly British man. (Giles sips his wine again)

AMANDA: I invoke a time flux on Trogdor.

ANDREW: (looks at Amanda) Step down, girlfriend, you can't just—

AMANDA: Ninth level sorcerer, and I carry the emerald chalice. Trogdor is frozen in time. Deal with it. (writes something down)

=== ''Angel'' ===
In a season five episode of ''Angel'' entitled "The Girl In Question," (also entitled "An Italian job for Spike and Angel") Angel and Spike were looking for Buffy overseas. They arrived at the apartment where Buffy lives, but Andrew was the only one there. He was talking to them about someone named "The Immortal," and he was wearing a black Strong Bad t-shirt. Later in the episode, Andrew wore the same SB shirt with a pore strip plastered on his nose.

Incidentally, Andrew is the very same character who appeared in the Trogdor-laden ''Buffy'' reference. Since both shows are the brainchildren of creator/writer/executive director Joss Whedon, we can probably assume that the creator of the Buffyverse is also a fan of Homestarverse.

=== ''Megas XLR'' ===
In an episode called "Breakout", Coop tried to use an attack called Double Deuce by jumping and putting two fists in front of him.

They announced that later this year they are going to release a DVD with the First 100 emails. Later after the commercial break they went to interview the company that is developing the Homestar Runner game. The company was Videlectrix of course. The whole interview was weird because you could tell that the Videlectrix owner was just one of the Brothers Chaps in a mustache but the whole making an Atari game was real.

=== ''Cheat'' ===
On one episode of Cheat on G4TechTV, they were talking about a name generator on "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" and if you made names long enough, Homsar's name would show up.

=== ''Survivor: Pearl Islands'' ===
When Ryan Shoulders (known on the show as Ryan S.) picks up some tree mail (the show's system of getting messages to the castaways), he sings the opening to SB Email [[techno]], singing it as "the tree mail, the tree mail, what, what, the tree mail." This may also explain Ryan S.' name appearing in the email "[[theme park]]".

=== ''X-Play'' ===
On an episode of G4TechTV's X-Play, the wrestling game "WWE: Day of Reckoning" is reviewed, and when the "create your own wrestler" mode is being demoed, the created wrestler (presumably created for the show, not by the game's developers) looks suspiciously like Strong Bad, and appears to be named alternately "SB" and "Essbee". You can see the [http://porplemontage.com/media/XPLAY_SB.wmv video here].

=== ''Super Size Me'' ===
In the movie ''[[IMDb:tt0390521|Super Size Me]]'', there are a group of kids at the computer where one is watching an old Tandy era Strong Bad Email.

== RADIO ==
=== ''Quizno's and Homestar on NPR'' ===
On March 9th 2004, Homestarrunner.com was featured on NPR's Talk of the Nation. You can find the radio segment [http://www.npr.org/features/feature.php?wfId=1753401 here]. You have to listen a little bit to get to the segment. It features [[kind of cool]], as well as the email [[different town]]. It starts around 9:15 into the clip and lasts until the end.

=== ''The Rock''===
There was also a quote from [[Strong Bad]]'s character page on a La Crosse, Wisconson radio station called "95.7 The Rock." It goes from the part
where strong bad says, "Ladies form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high-fives," and stops at the part where Homestar says, "Well, I was going to get a
high-five, but I see that I'm already here."

''Everybody to the Limit'' and other Homestar Runner footage might have been part of other Beastie Boys shows during the 2004 Pageant Tour, but no other sightings were reported up until now.
The JumboTron screens were an essential part of the show and were also used during the concert to show live footage of the stage as well as other pop culture reference material like accelerated footage of some Atari 2600 video games gameplay such as Frogger's and scenes from Battlestar Galactica (during their song '''Intergalactic''').

Also, the Yale Anti-Gravity Society's fall 2004 juggling/fire show was basically an entire trogdor narrative: one guy, starring as Trogdor, complete with a huge muscular arm and green clothing, played the Limozeen version of "Trogdor!" while breathing fire-- there was also a peasant involved, who, throughout the course of the show, became on fire like a peasant. Good times at Yale.

===''Junkin''===
On the television show [http://www.turnersouth.com/network/shows/junkin/ Junkin'], the host "Dave" has appeared wearing [[Trogdor]] and Strong Bad T-shirts.

=== ''Buffy'' ===
In the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Ep 7x22) Trogdor was used as a creature in a game of Dungeons and Dragons. The following is a transcript of the reference.

GILES: I'm—I'm—I'm all turned around. You're here?

XANDER: By the pillar, yeah. I'm protecting this area.

GILES: That puts me over by the door. Demons around the perimeter— Right! I open the door.

Pan over to show Andrew is also at the table, but he's wearing a red hooded cloak.

ANDREW: (reading from a book) You go through the door and are confronted by Trogdor the Burninator.

GILES: Oh, bugger it. Fight. (rolls dice, sips wine)

ANDREW: Adios to 5 hit points. Trogdor has badly wounded you.

GILES: Well, wait a minute. What about my... (puts on glasses) bag of illusions?

ANDREW: (scoffs) Illusions against a Burninator? Silly, silly British man. (Giles sips his wine again)

AMANDA: I invoke a time flux on Trogdor.

ANDREW: (looks at Amanda) Step down, girlfriend, you can't just—

AMANDA: Ninth level sorcerer, and I carry the emerald chalice. Trogdor is frozen in time. Deal with it. (writes something down)

=== ''Angel'' ===
In a season five episode of ''Angel'' entitled "The Girl In Question," (also entitled "An Italian job for Spike and Angel") Angel and Spike were looking for Buffy overseas. They arrived at the apartment where Buffy lives, but Andrew was the only one there. He was talking to them about someone named "The Immortal," and he was wearing a black Strong Bad t-shirt. Later in the episode, Andrew wore the same SB shirt with a pore strip plastered on his nose.

Incidentally, Andrew is the very same character who appeared in the Trogdor-laden ''Buffy'' reference. Since both shows are the brainchildren of creator/writer/executive director Joss Whedon, we can probably assume that the creator of the Buffyverse is also a fan of Homestarverse.

=== ''Megas XLR'' ===

They announced that later this year they are going to release a DVD with the First 100 emails. Later after the commercial break they went to interview the company that is developing the Homestar Runner game. The company was Videlectrix of course. The whole interview was weird because you could tell that the Videlectrix owner was just one of the Brothers Chaps in a mustache but the whole making an Atari game was real.

=== ''Cheat'' ===
On one episode of Cheat on G4TechTV, they were talking about a name generator on "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" and if you made names long enough, Homsar's name would show up.

=== ''Survivor: Pearl Islands'' ===
When Ryan Shoulders (known on the show as Ryan S.) picks up some tree mail (the show's system of getting messages to the castaways), he sings the opening to SB Email [[techno]], singing it as "the tree mail, the tree mail, what, what, the tree mail." This may also explain Ryan S.' name appearing in the email "[[theme park]]".

=== ''X-Play'' ===
On an episode of G4TechTV's X-Play, the wrestling game "WWE: Day of Reckoning" is reviewed, and when the "create your own wrestler" mode is being demoed, the created wrestler (presumably created for the show, not by the game's developers) looks suspiciously like Strong Bad, and appears to be named alternately "SB" and "Essbee". You can see the [http://porplemontage.com/media/XPLAY_SB.wmv video here].

You have to listen a little bit to get to the segment. It features [[kind of cool]], as well as the email [[different town]]. It starts around 9:15 into the clip and lasts until the end.

=== ''The Rock''===
There was also a quote from [[Strong Bad]]'s character page on a La Crosse, Wisconson radio station called "95.7 The Rock." It goes from the part

=== ''Strong Bad Live!'' ===
On June 7th, 2003 at Giants Stadium, Radiohead, the Beastie Boys, and other big name bands of that sort played, but the best part was the showing of Strong Bad emails over the JumboTron in between acts. They also showed [[Everybody to the Limit]] and it had a special new introduction wherein Strong Bad complained that he wasn't allowed on stage even though he had been the #1 hit for two summers in a row.

=== ''Beastie Boys 2004 Pageant Tour ===
On December 16th 2004 at the Zenith in Munich, Germany, the Beastie Boys used two JumboTron screens on the left and right side of the stage to present to the crowd the first one and a half minutes of [[Everybody to the Limit]].

''Everybody to the Limit'' and other Homestar Runner footage might have been part of other Beastie Boys shows during the 2004 Pageant Tour, but no other sightings were reported up until now.
The JumboTron screens were an essential part of the show and were also used during the concert to show live footage of the stage as well as other pop culture reference material like accelerated footage of some Atari 2600 video games gameplay such as Frogger's and scenes from Battlestar Galactica (during their song '''Intergalactic''').

=== ''Trogdor at An Ivy school?''===
At the Yale-Princeton football game halftime show in November, 2004, the Princeton Band announcer was listing villains (I wont explain why), and the last one on the list was TROGDOR THE BURNINATOR. This show also included a formation based on Email 100: "This joke is of such historical significance that it can only be told in... WIDESCREEN. Left side BWAAAAAH. Right side BWAAAAAAH." (at which the left and right sides of the band formation went wide-screen)

Also, the Yale Anti-Gravity Society's fall 2004 juggling/fire show was basically an entire trogdor narrative: one guy, starring as Trogdor, complete with a huge muscular arm and green clothing, played the Limozeen version of "Trogdor!" while breathing fire-- there was also a peasant involved, who, throughout the course of the show, became on fire like a peasant. Good times at Yale.

===''NFL Films: Game of the Week ('05 NFC Divisional Championship St Louis Rams Vs. Atlanta Falcons)''===

===''The Screen Savers''===
On an episode of The Screen Savers on G4TechTV there was a guest on there that knows how to make Atari 2600 games and he is making a [[Homestar Runner RPG]], which is still in development.

===''G4tv.com''===
On [http://www.g4tv.com/g4tv/episodes/3888/Men_are_from_World_of_Warcraft_Woman_are_From_The_Sims.html this episode] of G4tv.com on G4, an unnamed person, playing the role of Laura Foy's date, was seen wearing a "[[Trogdor]]" shirt.

===''Junkin''===
On the television show [http://www.turnersouth.com/network/shows/junkin/ Junkin'], the host "Dave" has appeared wearing [[Trogdor]] and Strong Bad T-shirts.

=== ''Buffy'' ===
In the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Ep 7x22) Trogdor was used as a creature in a game of Dungeons and Dragons. The following is a transcript of the reference.

GILES: I'm—I'm—I'm all turned around. You're here?

XANDER: By the pillar, yeah. I'm protecting this area.

GILES: That puts me over by the door. Demons around the perimeter— Right! I open the door.

Pan over to show Andrew is also at the table, but he's wearing a red hooded cloak.

ANDREW: (reading from a book) You go through the door and are confronted by Trogdor the Burninator.

GILES: Oh, bugger it. Fight. (rolls dice, sips wine)

ANDREW: Adios to 5 hit points. Trogdor has badly wounded you.

GILES: Well, wait a minute. What about my... (puts on glasses) bag of illusions?

ANDREW: (scoffs) Illusions against a Burninator? Silly, silly British man. (Giles sips his wine again)

AMANDA: I invoke a time flux on Trogdor.

ANDREW: (looks at Amanda) Step down, girlfriend, you can't just—

AMANDA: Ninth level sorcerer, and I carry the emerald chalice. Trogdor is frozen in time. Deal with it. (writes something down)

=== ''Angel'' ===
In a season five episode of ''Angel'' entitled "The Girl In Question," (also entitled "An Italian job for Spike and Angel") Angel and Spike were looking for Buffy overseas. They arrived at the apartment where Buffy lives, but Andrew was the only one there. He was talking to them about someone named "The Immortal," and he was wearing a black Strong Bad t-shirt. Later in the episode, Andrew wore the same SB shirt with a pore strip plastered on his nose.

Incidentally, Andrew is the very same character who appeared in the Trogdor-laden ''Buffy'' reference. Since both shows are the brainchildren of creator/writer/executive director Joss Whedon, we can probably assume that the creator of the Buffyverse is also a fan of Homestarverse.

=== ''Megas XLR'' ===
In an episode called "Breakout", Coop tried to use an attack called Double Deuce by jumping and putting two fists in front of him.

They showed many video clips of their Atari game. The Chaps told about how they record their voices and how successful they have been. They announced that later this year they are going to release a DVD with the First 100 emails. Later after the commercial break they went to interview the company that is developing the Homestar Runner game. The company was Videlectrix of course. The whole interview was weird because you could tell that the Videlectrix owner was just one of the Brothers Chaps in a mustache but the whole making an Atari game was real.

=== ''Cheat'' ===
On one episode of Cheat on G4TechTV, they were talking about a name generator on "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" and if you made names long enough, Homsar's name would show up.

=== ''Survivor: Pearl Islands'' ===
When Ryan Shoulders (known on the show as Ryan S.) picks up some tree mail (the show's system of getting messages to the castaways), he sings the opening to SB Email [[techno]], singing it as "the tree mail, the tree mail, what, what, the tree mail." This may also explain Ryan S.' name appearing in the email "[[theme park]]".

=== ''X-Play'' ===
On an episode of G4TechTV's X-Play, the wrestling game "WWE: Day of Reckoning" is reviewed, and when the "create your own wrestler" mode is being demoed, the created wrestler (presumably created for the show, not by the game's developers) looks suspiciously like Strong Bad, and appears to be named alternately "SB" and "Essbee". You can see the [http://porplemontage.com/media/XPLAY_SB.wmv video here].

=== ''The Rock''===
There was also a quote from [[Strong Bad]]'s character page on a La Crosse, Wisconson radio station called "95.7 The Rock." It goes from the part

high-five, but I see that I'm already here."

=== ''Strong Bad Live!'' ===
On June 7th, 2003 at Giants Stadium, Radiohead, the Beastie Boys, and other big name bands of that sort played, but the best part was the showing of Strong Bad emails over the JumboTron in between acts. They also showed [[Everybody to the Limit]] and it had a special new introduction wherein Strong Bad complained that he wasn't allowed on stage even though he had been the #1 hit for two summers in a row.

=== ''Beastie Boys 2004 Pageant Tour ===
On December 16th 2004 at the Zenith in Munich, Germany, the Beastie Boys used two JumboTron screens on the left and right side of the stage to present to the crowd the first one and a half minutes of [[Everybody to the Limit]]. Even though most of the listeners might have never heard of Homestar Runner or Strong Bad the crowd was cheering and clapping their hands rhythmically with the music.
''Everybody to the Limit'' and other Homestar Runner footage might have been part of other Beastie Boys shows during the 2004 Pageant Tour, but no other sightings were reported up until now.
The JumboTron screens were an essential part of the show and were also used during the concert to show live footage of the stage as well as other pop culture reference material like accelerated footage of some Atari 2600 video games gameplay such as Frogger's and scenes from Battlestar Galactica (during their song '''Intergalactic''').

=== ''Trogdor at An Ivy school?''===
At the Yale-Princeton football game halftime show in November, 2004, the Princeton Band announcer was listing villains (I wont explain why), and the last one on the list was TROGDOR THE BURNINATOR. This show also included a formation based on Email 100: "This joke is of such historical significance that it can only be told in... WIDESCREEN. Left side BWAAAAAH. Right side BWAAAAAAH." (at which the left and right sides of the band formation went wide-screen)

Also, the Yale Anti-Gravity Society's fall 2004 juggling/fire show was basically an entire trogdor narrative: one guy, starring as Trogdor, complete with a huge muscular arm and green clothing, played the Limozeen version of "Trogdor!" while breathing fire-- there was also a peasant involved, who, throughout the course of the show, became on fire like a peasant. Good times at Yale.

Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough

2005-03-29T14:34:08Z

Teplotaxl: /* Stage 3.1 (Transcript) */ spellchecka.exe

This is a walkthrough for the [[Games|game]] [[Stinkoman 20X6]]. It contains the transcripts for the movies in the game and tells how to beat the levels and bosses.
:'''Spoiler Warning: ''Plot and level details follow.'''''

==Introduction Movie==
This movie is an introduction to the game. To view it, wait on the first menu screen for a while. (The one that reads, "PLAY GAME!")
===Transcript===
''{An alien landscape is shown. The ground is dark but is glowing blue. A cloudy dark sky up above contains stars and a purple planet. In the space between the ground and the sky, subtitles appear.}''
<pre>ON PLANET K, STINKOMAN IS ALWAYS
LOOKING FOR A FIGHTING OR A CHALLENGE.
IN 20X6, HE CAN USUALLY FIND ONE!</pre>
''{A silhouette of [[Stinkoman]] appears from the left side of the screen and walks along the planet. Once he reaches the center, he starts walking in place and fades out from the shadows. Subtitles appear underneath him.}''
<pre>THERE HE IS!</pre>
''{The scene cuts to blackness and Stinkoman appears from a side. The screen flashes and Stinkoman turns golden and shines. The word "STINKOMAN" appears next to him. Then he disappears and the same thing happens to [[1-Up]] and then [[Pan Pan]]. Then they all fly into the same screen one at a time and each one occupies a third of the area.}''

==Level 1 - GO HOME!==
''"Stinkoman heads home after beating a gem-studded brainbot"'' 
Stinkoman is headed home after winning a challenge against Tampo the robot. Unfortunately for him, the way back is filled with dangerous traps, baddies and bottomless pits! Then he discovers that Tampo isn't finished yet.
===Stage 1.1 (Transcript)===
''{Stinkoman is standing in a green area. Tampo the robot is silhouetted in the foreground.}'' 
'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{subtitled}'' ARE YOU INQUIRING ABOUT A CHALLENGE??

''{The camera switches so that Tampo the robot is standing against a blue sky and Stinkoman is silhouetted in the foreground.}'' 
'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{subtitled}'' YOU ARE TALL, BUT...

''{Stinkoman flies across the screen in an action pose.}'' 
'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{subtitled}'' THAT WON'T STOP ME FROM...

''{Stinkoman punches Tampo the robot crazily. Black lines are flashing around for effect.}'' 
'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{subtitled}'' PUNCHA-PUNCHA-PUNCHA!!

''{Camera switches to the view used in scene #2. Stinkoman lands in the foreground. Several explosions appear on Tampo the robot's body as he sinks out of sight.}'' 
'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{subtitled}'' AND OTHER VICTORY FOR STINKOMAN!!

''{Stinkoman is standing against the sky with only his head visible.}'' 
'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{subtitled}'' KILLING THAT ROBOT MAKES ME WANT TO GO HOME!! 
''{Stinkoman's head appears to glide away to the left.}''

''{The level start scene is shown (Stinkoman in an action pose with a blue and black background) with the words "TRY LEVEL 1.1" at the bottom}''

''{As the game begins, the following words are projected across the screen for a few seconds.}''
<pre>START PLAY!
A - JUMP, S - FIRE,
ARROW KEYS - MOVE</pre>

===Stage 1.1 (Guide)===
* Move forward, ignoring the remains of Tampo the robot. Simply shoot the two gray bouncing robots named "Jaros" that you'll meet.
* Jump and shoot the flying blue robot who is called "Chorch". Then jump up on the high ground and keep moving.
* There's another kind of robot nearby that will hide when it senses you. It's called a "Greggo." Wait for the Greggo to start walking away from you, then jump and shoot him. Climb up to the highest level of this small hill and go to the edge, taking call not to fall onto the spikes called "Old Sages" down below. If you happen to slip and fall onto them, I hope you've already written your will, because you're dead.
* Jump onto the nearest floating platform when it is at its lowest. Wait until it is higher up, then shoot the Chorch.
* Walk onto the next few platforms when your platform is higher. If you fall, you will die instantly. When you are on the third platform, jump and shoot the nearby Chorch.
* Jump over the small gap when the next platform is low. Then go from platform to platform in a similar manner. When you reach the end, jump off the the lower ground and shoot the two Jaros there.
* The path now splits in two. The lower path is riskier and should only be tried by experts (but bypasses all the enemies), but the higher path is longer and good for beginners.
** Lower path: Get on the rightmost edge of the area you are on and you will see a trapdoor. Carefully time your jump so that you land on the platform just as it comes back up.
** Quickly run across and jump at the very edge of the platform onto the tiny platform.
** Jump from the tiny platform to the ground that lies ahead.
*** Higher path: Climb the ladder, being careful to avoid the shooting robot named "Browntant's" shots. If you wish, you can kill the Browntant by shooting it three times. Just remember to climb down to dodge its shots between firing. You can't hurt it while it's blinking red.
*** Climb up higher and shoot the Chorch. Then jump off the ladder and onto the platform with the tree on it.
*** Jump up from your platform and shoot the Greggo. Don't worry about the direction it's facing, you won't jump high enough for it to see you.
*** Walk to the stair-like platforms. When the moving spike is down, jump over it and land on the edge of that platform, avoiding the spike.
*** When the time is right, jump over the Jaro. You might want to shoot it. You also may want to take out that Browntant on the other side of the wall. Once you reach the end of the stairs, jump down while staying close to the wall. (You can also take out the Chorch at this point.) You will land where the two paths reconnect.
* Follow the path of the ground you are on without jumping up. The Chorch, if it is still there, won't be able to harm you down there. Go the end of the path into the bushes. There's a wall there, so you can't continue, but you can shoot the Jaro on the other side. Finish him off now so he won't bother you later.
* Jump up to the next platform and shoot the Chorch. Follow the path to the platform directly above. Run past a drill on the ceiling whenever it is retracted. Stop between drills and then repeat the process until you pass all three.
* Jump onto the box. After the Browntant shoots, jump and shoot at it. Repeat this process until the enemy dies. Then jump up to where the Browntant used to be.
* Hop onto the tiny platform. Then jump to the one on the left. When you hop to the one to the right, be careful. If you fall, you will land on the Pooru-Poorus and get hurt a bit. When the moving platform is at its lowest, hop on. Ignore the solitary tiny platform to the right.
* When the moving platform is between the two upper platforms, jump off to the left. If you are low on health, hop onto the box. You will need to fall through the trapdoors to reach the pill. There are two ways to do this without taking damage from the moving spike below:
** Sometimes you can time it right so that you can land on the lower trapdoor with enough time to spare so you can jump back up to the top one and then jump away to safety.
** When this is not possible, time your jump so the drill is gone. Drop and quickly run right.
* Get back to the upper platforms and jump to the left platform. Then drop down the path between the two walls, moving left and right to get off the tiny platforms that will be blocking your path. As long as you took care of that Jaro earlier, you should have no problem.
* When the horizontally moving platform gets really close, hop on. The path now splits into two. The lower path is really risky and should only be tried if you want a challenge. The higher path is much easier and safer.
** Hop onto the square platform. Then jump onto the little platforms one by one, being very careful not to fall off. When you reach the last one, wait for the moving platform to be down low and hop on.
*** Higher path: Jump onto the ladder when the timing is right and climb up to the top. Be careful, a invincible flying robot named "Kolkaryu" will come to meet you up there. It will shoot some shots downward. When it comes, run to the tree and you'll be safe.
*** Walk to the edge of the platform and time your jump so you land on the dipping platforn just as it comes back up. If you fail, try to catch yourself by landing on one of the tiny platforms below. If you succeed, jump onto the moving platform and you'll be where the paths reconnect.
* When the platform you're on is high enough, jump onto the stationary platform. Then wait until the next platform is low enough and make the rather big jump. You should try to be halfway off the stationary platform before you jump.
* Jump onto the closest dipping platform when it's up and then quickly jump onto the ground. Stay clear of the drill!
* Jump over each drill whenever they are in the ground until you've cleared them all. Now the path splits up again. The lower path is easier, but both aren't too hard.
** Higher path: Staying up on the platform with all the drills, jump when it's safe and shoot the Browtant until it dies.
** Hop onto the dipping platform right after it comes back up and then jump to the platform which had the Browntant on it. If you fail doing this part, you will land on the lower path. Then jump onto the next dipping platform with good timing and quickly walk towards the end and jump onto the platform with the hanging ladder to be at the connection point.
*** Lower path: Drop off the platform you're on and shoot the Jaro through the box. Hop over both boxes jump over the cliff and grab the ladder. Don't mess up or you'll die. Climb up the ladder to be where the paths reconnect.
* Jump off the platform and grab onto the hanging ladder of the next platform. Climb up when it's same and shoot the Browntant. Either jump over or duck under (using the ladder) to dodge its attacks.
* Jump off right side of the platform and onto the tiny platform below. Then try to reach the next one to your right. From there, jump to the big bunch of ground. Remember, Stinkoman won't fall from the tiny platforms until his feet are completely off.
* You will reach a big hill. Shoot all the Jaros and Chorches. Then kill the Browntant by jumping when its safe and shooting.
* There's a power crunch in the second to bottom row with a spiky cucumber called a "Pooru-Pooru" right over it. Grab the pill without going under the Pooru-Pooru to not get hurt. It is best to approach the power cruch from the right side. You'll have to inch close to safely get it.
** SECRET ITEM! Go to the top of the hill and jump. You will find a hidden platform behind the tree. Jump again and you will find a hidden power crunch behind the tree. This is the only item to be hidden like this is the game. Too bad it's value is somewhat dubious because of the power crunch nearby.
* When you're ready, run up to the flag and end the stage.

===Stage 1.2 (Transcript)===
''{The same level start scene is shown with the words, "TRY LEVEL 1.2" at the bottom.}''

''{As the level begins, the following words are projected across the screen for a few seconds.}''
<pre>START PLAY!</pre>

===Stage 1.2 (Guide)===

* Blast the Jaro and make your way to the ladder, which has 3 Pooru-Poorus under it. Jump onto the ladden and don't let go. Wait until the Greggo has passed and the drill to have gone up, then immediately clear the ladder and if necessary, get close and punch the Greggo to kill it.
* Climb up to the top platform and watch out for the semi-hidden Pooru-Pooru. Jump over it and be careful. A Browntant is ahead and will shoot at you. Jump over its shots and kill it. Then stand on the right edge of the platform.
* Wait for the trapdoor to come back up and immediately run off the edge, land on the trapdoor, and jump on to the platform to the right, the one with the wall on it. Then shoot the upper Chorch through the wall.
* This next move is kind of tricky, so be careful. Wait for the moving platform under you to get closer. When it's directly under you, fall to the left and snap back to the right to land on it. Then immediately shoot that other Chorch. Hop onto the lower vertically moving platform when the time is right.
* There's a power crunch ahead, but it's extremely hard to get to it and back. Don't get it unless you really need to and if you are confident with your skills.
** If you choose to get the power crunch, you can get there two ways. The basic way is to wait on the vertically moving platform and jump onto the trapdoor as soon as it comes back up. Quickly walk to the edge and jump to the platform that holds the energy tank. The other way is to climb up to the stairs above and drop through onto the platform.
** This next part is difficult, but you need to return. Look carefully at the trapdoor and the nearby vertically moving platform. You'll need to jump from one to the other when they are allaigned. Even then, you'll have to get the most out of your jumps by jumping at the very edge of each platform.
** When the trapdoor drops when the vertically moving platform is around halfway down and lowering, that's usually a sign that you should attempt the manuever as soon as the trapdoor raises. This is possible, and good luck.
* Whether you go for the power crunch or not, the next step is to jump onto the next vertically moving platform when they align. You should have killed the Chorch here earlier, but even if you didn't he shouldn't be much of a problem. When it's time, jump onto the solid platform above.
* Go down the stairway, and either wait on the second-to-bottom step to shoot the Jaro when it hops, or jump over it and shoot it. As stated earlier, you can choose to drop directly down from the bottom step to land where the power crunch is. If you choose not to, go up the other stairs.
* As you climb up, ignore the path of tiny platforms below. They'll be explained later. Once you reach the top, stay off the elevated part of land with the Browntant and immediately move to the center of the platform. A Kolkaryu will have appeared, but as long as you stay there directly underneath it, you will be fine.
* After the Kolkaryu leaves, jump up and deal with the Browntant the way you usually do. Then go to the right edge of the platform. You will see three trapdoors.
* Watch the trapdoors and use your judgement as when to run or jump across. If you want, you can shoot the Greggo when it gets close before you go. If you don't, just punch it when you get there.
* If you mess up and fall through these trapdoors, don't panic. You aren't going to die.
** If you fall, there's a platform directly below. There's a Jaro on it, so try to avoid it. Once you land, quickly kill it. Then jump and shoot the Greggo.
** Jump onto the platform that the Greggo was on. Then jump onto the tiny platforms from there, one after the other. From the second one, jump back onto the staircase. You're now back where you belong. Be careful though, these jumps can be rather tough.
** Get back up to where the Browntant was. Cross the three trapdoors without messing up this time and kill the Greggo.
* Walk over to the ladder and climb down to the bottom. Do not let go without making sure it's safe! Underneath the ladder you will see a trapdoor. When the trapdoor flips up, hit the jump button to drop down onto it and hop to the tiny platform to your right.
* From there, jump onto the ground when the Chorch is out of the way, then shoot it.
* Hop onto the first floating platform. The jump to the second platform is rather easy, jump on and then kill the Browntant.
* Now you have to jump up onto the next two floating platforms. These ones are rather tricky to get onto, so run always completely off the platform you are on and then jump. Once up there, jump onto the little platform.
* There's another Kalkaryu near that tree. Just jump onto the platform, run to get on the ladder and go up as fast as you can and it won't bother you.
* Hop across the moving platforms. It's rather easy, and if you've made it here it shouldn't be much of a problem. Time your jumps and take it a platform at a time. On the other side you will find a much-needed power crunch. Try not to get hurt now, because you won't get more health until after the boss. (Or if you die, but you don't want to do that.)
* Below you are a bunch of blocks forming a staircase. There are obstacles on the stares. In respective order, there are a half-hidden Pooru-Pooru, two drills one after the other, another Pooru-Pooru, and a Jaro. You can stay on the edges of the steps to avoid becoming a futuristic slice of swiss cheese. Wait on the second Pooru-Pooru step to blast the Jaro when it jumps into range.
* Jump onto the last remaining box and then prepare to jump onto some ground. You can't actually see the ground, so aim for the tree when jumping off the last platform. Watch out for the Browntant a few steps away from the tree.
* After killing the Browntant, run ahead like crazy and prepare to meet the first boss in the game!

===Level 1 Boss: Tampo (Transcript)===
''{Cut back to the start of level 1.1, where Tampo's remains are lying. Suddenly the brain that was sticking out on top wiggles and floats up. It flashes black and grows huge. Its brain stem disappears and the medulla turns a bright red during the change. Then it floats away to the right.}''

''{Cut back to Stinkoman. He is standing in a green field. Suddenly Tampo floats by and heads to the upper right corner of the screen.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Are you asking for a challenge?

'''''After you defeat Tampo...'''''

''{Tampo's medulla disappears and he shrinks back to normal. Then he disappears with a pop. Stinkoman laughs for a while and then teleports away.}''

===Level 1 Boss: Tampo (Guide)===
* It looks like Tampo wasn't satisfied by the first beatdown. His brain has come back for revenge on Stinkoman. It's just too bad his weak spot is HUGE. It's the giant bright red medulla.
* Tampo will hover around in the top-right corner in the screen for a little bit. Then he'll drop down lower and fire four glowing balls at you. Three of them go in a group that will sink into the ground nearby and the other one will fly away right above Stinkoman's head. Then he'll go back up to his starting location and shoot four more balls downward in a similar fashion. Then he'll go to the left side of the screen and repeat the attack. He takes 8 hits to kill and speeds up as he takes more damage.
* You can only hurt him when he comes down low to attack. Jump and shoot. When he's blinking red he's invincible making you normally only able to hit him once per lowering, but if you time your attacks good enough and if Tampo's going slow because he's not hurt too much, you can hit him twice in a single round.
* To defend from his attacks, run to the middle of the screen after attacking him to fit in the gap in his first spray of glowing balls, then towards him to completely avoid the second spray. It will be difficult at first, but you will get the hang of it soon enough. Then he will switch sides and repeat himself, and so must you. Remember that he gets faster after every hit, so stay on your toes.

==Level 2 - PICK A BONE!==
''"Stinkoman goes after the chicken what choked him"'' 
Stinkoman is back home and eating food. 1-Up tries to tell him that Pan Pan has been kidnapped, but Stinkoman chokes on a bone and then all he cares about is going through his chicken-infested kitchen to find the chicken who choked him.

''{As the level begins, the following words are projected across the screen for a few seconds.}''
<pre>START PLAY!</pre>

===Stage 2.1 (Guide)===

* Wow, huge kitchen. Blast the yellow chicken heads known as "Terrell". See the hot electric burners? They're called "Rose Blake" and do not hurt unless they are white-hot and flashing. That gives you the time between cool-down and heat-up to valiantly dash across. Or hop. It's a good idea to stop between them.
* Next, you will notice some gas-burners. Called "Lundsford", they are obviously only dangerous when the blue flame is on, but you can stand in between or on the edge, and as long as the flame does not touch you, you are good to go. Hop off the Lundsfords and onto the ladder.
* Next, go up when it's safe and blast the chicken in jogging shoes, called "Grundy". Run across to meet 3 Terrells and introduce them to your fist. Watch out for the Browntants on the other side, which you can dodge or altogether destroy.
* There is a power crunch where you crushed those Terrells, on the bottom left. Unless you are heavily damaged from Stage 1, destroy everything in the general vicinity before taking it.
* Go back to the bottom of the really tall ladder. The path now splits in two. The open path is the regular path which almost everyone should take. If you want a difficult challenge, take the lower bath. They both have power crunches.
** Higher path: Climb up the ladder, dodging and killing the Browtants, if you haven't already.
** At the top of the ladder, the bloated chicken known as a "Stobat" threatens your soup and life with an unlimited bone barrage. Wait for the calcium of doom to pass and quickly pull up onto the platform and get to the left tip. Make sure you are out of range of its attacks, and then give it "what for" with your shots. Now is the time to get that power crunch down there if you were saving it.
** Blast the Chorch and get on the first moving platform. Watch out for a Kalkaryu strike on the center moving platform. The safest course of action is to wait it out on the first platform, which would by then shift back and out of harm's way. You can also wait in the center moving platform, that one that's going up and down. Take out the second Chorch and move on. These jumps can be a little tricky, so remember to jump after at least half of you is over the cliff.
** The right moving platform is an ooch to the right of where its limits were supposed to be. If you fall during this part, try to land on the platform hold the lower path's power crunch.
** Once you get past the moving platforms, you will see a trapdoor with a Stobat and Terrell on the other side, and a Kolkaryu will trigger right before the trapdoor. Employ standard UFO evasion and then blast the Terrel. Then stay on the left side of the trap door and shoot the Stobat for another power crunch.
** Fall through the trapdoor and don't move to land on a platform. This is where both paths reconnect.
*** Lower path: This path is for daredevils only. You've been warned. Anyway, to take this path, go right from the really tall ladder and kill the lowest Browntant. Then keep moving and you will see a bunch of Pooru-Poorus. It is hard, but possible to jump into the small space betwen the Pooru-Poorus. If you get hurt, try to use that little time of invincibility to run through as many Pooru-Poorus as possible, which is usually just one.
*** Keep on jumping from gap to gap and you'll eventually meet a power crunch on an elevated platform. You're probably in dire need of one now, so jump up and get it. Then continue rightwards in the same manner you used earlier. Try to lose as little health as possible.
*** Thankfully the ending is somewhat nearby and soon you'll be able to jump onto safe ground. Then jump onto the two floating platforms nearby one after the other and you'll be where the two paths meet.
* Anyhoo, jump onto the refridgerators and blast the Chorch there and feast your eyes on that poison bottle called "Tortan". As you can probably guess, the green drops are not candy. Dodge it.
* The next sequence involves lots of pain if you don't have faith in your jumping ablities. The key is landing on the EDGE of the Lundsford so the flame doesn't melt your robot booties. Jump when the flame is extinguished and move to the proper spot before to Lundsford turns on. Don't fall down, that Pooru-Pooru is one prickly cucumber!
* Land on the left tip of the third Lundsford and exercise some revenge on the Stobat to earn another generous helping of power crunch. Hop over and down to the crunch and use the ladders to get to the top platform, reminding yourself to destroy those Chorches through the walls to avoid having to deal with them later.
* As you climb up, you'll have to pass by a few sporks. Sporks are just glorified drills, but they hurt all the time, so just jump over as it retracts, or else risk creating a new belly-button.
* Watch out for the twin Browntant assault. Focus your firepower on the left one first, then pull up and destroy the other one. Time your jumps so that both of them can't harm you.
* Climb down the ladders to the bottom level. If you didn't kill them earlier, dodge and then shoot the Chorches as you go. Once you reach the bottom, you'll see a small forest growing in your house!
* Hidden behind the first tree is a trapdoor. Use it to get on top of the refrigerator. A Kolkaryu will come, but you can easily avoid it by quickly going directly underneath.
* After the thing leaves, run into the side of the Lundsford and jump directly up to land on the left edge. Wait until the fire goes down and run!
* You'll be met with a Browntant-Stobat combo. Immediately dodge the Browntant's fire and jump onto the left edge of the small platform, out of the range of the Stobat. Burninate the Stobat, which leaves a power crunch, and take care of the Browntant. Get on the floating platform to your right.
* You've done this before: Jump onto the vertically moving platforms when the time is right and kill the Chorch. Then get on the ladder, using the trapdoor if you want, dodging any Browntant fire. You can destroy the Browntants, but it isn't recommended, considering the 50% survival rate with that trapdoor if you get hit.
* Drills are old hat by now. Walk underneath them when they're retracted.
* Stop running after you pass the second drill to remove the Stobat.
* The two drills that are close to each other won't be much of a problem, just pause in between them. Walk to the edge and you'll see an arrow made up of tiny platforms.
* Obey the arrow's advice. Oh, no! A bunch of Old Sages are sitting where you're going to land! You're doomed! But wait, what's that? A flag! You're saved! Stinkoman will teleport away right above the Old Sages.

===Stage 2.2 (Transcript)===
''{The same level start scene is shown with the words, "TRY LEVEL 2.2" at the bottom.}''

''{As the level begins, the following words are projected across the screen for a few seconds.}''
<pre>START PLAY!</pre>

===Stage 2.2 (Guide)===
* Take out the Terrell through the stove. You know how to handle a Lundsford.
* Jump up and over the second Lundsford and onto the fridge, then up onto the platform to your left. If you fall off the fridge and land on the ground to the right, use the floating platform to get back up.
* Wait for the Grundy to pass, then hop onto the trapdoor and hop to the next platform while blowing up the Grundy.
* Jump onto the right edge of the Lundsford and wait for the flame and floating platform to drop, then quickly run across the stove and jump onto the platform.
* Jump to the next floating platform and blast the Chorch when it comes into range.
* Get to the other side of the platform, remember that the Rose Blakes can't hurt you as long as they aren't white-hot and flashing.
* When the first one is safe, jump onto it and run to the safe spot. The Old Sages will stop you from jumping over the next one, so just get that timing down and run across. Whatever you do, do not touch the Old Sages.
* Wait until the last Rose Blake is safe and the trapdoor is about to swing up, then run on the Rose Blake, hop to the trapdoor, and then hop to the next platform in one quick run.
* Blast the Terrell and then jump the gap. If the Terrell is out of range, shoot it once you get onto the platform. Make sure that you jump far because the gap is larger than usual.
* Shoot the Chorch and jump onto the moving platform when they come into range.
* Jump onto the ladder when the moving platform gets close. Once grabbing on, wait for the Grundy to pass, then climb up and blast it.
* Holy silverware! It's a whole row of angry sporks! Carefully jump to the left ladder, and climb all the way up. It is suggested you jump when the sporks are hidden, but it's possible to make it when they're out. If you fall and land on the sporks, you can jump straight up while invincible and grab onto the ladders.
* Use the trapdoor and the tiny platform to get behind the fridge, allowing you to easily take out a Stobat so it won't be a problem later. Note the existence of two Browntants above.
* There's an power crunch below. Jump onto the tiny platform and then jump and hug the left side of the screen. You will land on a platform with the energy boost on it. Grab it, walk off the edge of the platform and fall straight down.
* Now get back onto the left ladder. Climb up until your head touches the platform. Hopefully, you have good reflexes. Hold down the right directional key, hit the jump button and when you touch the right-side ladder, hit the up key to grab on to the ladder. Keep trying until you make it. If you made it, climb onto the platform.
* Because you are out of range of the Stobat, now would be a good time to kill it. Jump and shoot.
* Climb up to the next platform. If you killed the Stobat earlier, you'll have no problem. If it's still there, climb up when the coast is clear and get out of range. Then kill it.
* When you're ready, jump onto the moving platform, and remember those Browntants you saw earlier. Don't worry, you are out of its range as long as you stay on the moving platform. Jump and shoot it when the time is right, then jump to the platform it was on once it dies.
* Right ahead is the second Browntant. Jump over its attacks. You don't have to kill it, but it's hiding a power crunch.
* Jump onto the ladder, wait for the Grundys to pass, then pull up and shoot them.
* Notice the overhanging structures. You can make out a bunch of Tortans. Keep this in mind as you cross to the other side.
* Now you reach a staircase of Lundsfords. Looks more like the stairway to hell. This part is difficult, but there's a power crunch at the top, so don't worry about losing a little health. Stay on the edges, and wait for the Lundsford to turn off. Then run forward and jump to the next edge.
* When you reach the fourth Lundsford, a Kalkaryu will ambush you. You can hide directly underneath it to be safe. Hang halfway over the left side of the floating platforms until the robot leaves.
* You should see three trapdoors. Each one leads to a different path. The first one leads back to an earlier part of the level. The third one leads to a power crunch and then takes you back to the trapdoors. '''You want to fall through the middle trapdoor.'''
** Kick yourself if accidentally fall down the first trapdoor. This left passage drops you in front of a Browntant. Kill it and then you'll discover that you're hanging out over the earlier part of the level.
** Jump and go right and try to land on the floating platform below. You are now back in the part of the level between the sporks and the Rose Blakes. Bummer. Climb back up the way you did before to the trapdoors. At least the bad guys are gone.
*** Falling down the third trapdoor isn't as bad as the falling down the first one. It does, however, land you in a pile of Pooru-Poorus, next to a Browntant. Don't hug the right wall as you fall, you don't want to touch one of the Old Sages in the roof.
*** Once you land, don't worry about the Old Sages above. You can't jump high enough to touch them. Jump over the Browntant's shots and blast him, just like you usually world. Destroying it nets you a power crunch for your troubles, but it's not really worth it.
*** Once the Browntant is dead, climb up the ladder to a really difficult climb of floating platforms and trapdoors. This is really hard, so you'll need to run as far off the platform as possible to make it, and don't forget to time your jumps so you don't fall through the trapdoors. Then you'll have to jump onto a few tiny platforms. Eventually you should make it back to the three trapdoors. Fall down the middle one this time.
* Assuming that you went with the middle path, you will fall, really, really far, so far that your character may start yawning if you don't touch anything. Eventually you will land between a Stobat on the left and a Terrell on the right. Blast the Terrell on the right so that you can get out of the bones' range and destroy the Stobat.
* They make no attempt to hide the daunting task that is avoiding all seven bottles of Tortan...in a row. Wait for the drops to hit the ground and run through, screaming like a lunatic. Well, I guess screaming is optional.
* You should meet a Terrell as you are running, blast it.
* If you stop going forward just out of the way of the last Tortan, you will see a Stobat AND stay out of its range. Stay underneath the last Tortan as you kill it, but don't get hit by the poison itself. Take the Stobat out to receive the last power crunch of the stage.
* Continue running forward. Hey, a big open space. This would be a great area to have a challenge in. This seems REALLY suspicious. Could it be? Yes, it is!

===Level 2 Boss: Brody (Transcript)===

''{The screen is letterboxed and a silhouette of Stinkoman slides to the right in a dramatic fashion. Two collosal chicken legs drop from the top of the screen, causing the screen to shake. The camera pans up slightly so that the bottom of the chicken's torso is visble. The chicken's huge head suddenly drops from the top of the screen and screams ferociously.}''

''{The screen cuts to a shot of Stinkoman looking up with the shadow of Brody looming over him.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{subtitled in very tiny letters and a small talking mouth}'' ARE YOU ASKING FOR A CHALLENGE?

''{As the round begins, Stinkoman repeats the same message he used against Tampo}'' 
'''STINKOMAN:''' Are you asking for a challenge?

'''''After you defeat Brody...'''''

''{The sound of an explosion occurs, followed by four falling colossal chicken bones. Stinkoman does his victory laugh and teleports out.}''

===Level 2 Boss: Brody (Guide)===

* Brody is the chicken that choked Stinkoman somehow. That's one heck of a chicken. Resembling Grundy in a slight way, he consists of two legs and a head, which both can stretch and retract. He also can apparently fly, because his feet hover over you for a while. You can never see his full body. As tradition requires, Brody's weak point is his head.
* Brody starts off with one foot hovering along the top of the screen. Sooner or later, it stops moving for a second, then swiftly drops, crushing anything under it. As a general rule, being crushed is not a good thing. After a while, Brody pokes his head from the ceiling for a split second and then lunges downwards, snapping its beak. This move is randomly placed, fast, and therefore very dangerous. After the first lunge, Brody now uses two feet instead of one regardless of whether or not you got the first shot. The next lunge is coming up when only one of Brody's feet are deployed and none are coming back out. Brody takes five hits before going down.
* To avoid Brody's feet attacks, it doesn't matter what you're doing as long as you move out of the way whenever a foot freezes above your head. As a general rule, you can rather easily avoid being hit if you stay still in the middle and dodge when you have to. Prepare for when the head is about to drop, keep your eyes open and be quick. Dodge the head as it comes down, and if you succeed, shoot him right in the head to hurt him. Don't bother attacking his feet, though. Do good, and you should make Brody a splode.

==Level 3 - DUMB WALL!==
''"Stinkoman overcompensates and has to collect random crap"'' 
Stinkoman leaves his house only to find that a wall is blocking his way to future challenges. To get over the wall, he decides to fly into outer space and back, only to discover that the wall isn't actually a wall at all.

===Stage 3.1 (Transcript)===
''{Cut to the outside of Stinkoman's house. There's a city in the background and a wall a few feet away. The door to opens for Stinkoman and closes when he leaves. Stinkoman walks out of his house and attempts to backflip-jump over the wall, but the wall is a little bit too high. After three more failed attempts, Stinkoman shakes and soars into the sky.}''

''{As the level begins, the following words are projected across the screen for a few seconds.}''
<pre>DESTROY RAIN TO GET
20 NUGGETS!</pre>

===Stage 3.1 (Guide)===
* This level is more like a mini-game than anything else. Instead of side-scrolling, in this stage Stinkoman is flying up, up and away. You are stuck in a fixed section of the screen, but you can use the left and right arrow keys to move sideways. The S button punches, but no flying fist will appear.
* As you fly, angry raindrops named "Mr. Ubbers" will fall from the 'bove. You have to punch them, which will cause them to pop, making golden nuggets shoot out. The nuggets will fly up and then fall down, and you'll have to collect them as they fall. You have to get 20 golden nuggets.
* That would be simple, if it weren't for the evil rain clouds with propellers called "Clowders." They float up from underneath. You can't hurt them; you have to avoid them. Touch them and you'll take damage.
* So the basic idea is that you'll have to kill a Mr. Ubber and stay in the same place long enough to collect the golden nugget that'll come down. Sometimes a Clowder will interfere, and when this happens the best strategy is to leave, forget about the nugget and try again. It's a little harder than it sounds, but the level won't end until either you die or collect 20 golden nuggets. Don't worry about winning with a small amount of health, your health is fully refueled when you win.

===Stage 3.2 (Transcript)===
''{A silhouette of Stinkoman flies up against a blue background streaked with white for effect.}''

''{Close up to Stinkoman's head. He is still flying up.}'' 
'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{subtitled}'' I WONDER IF I'VE JUMPED OVER THAT WALL YET.

''{View from Stinkoman's eyes. He is looking down and sees his feet above a rapidly-shrinking Planet K.}''

''{Cut back to the close up of Stinkoman's head. He is still flying up.}'' 
'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{subtitled}'' ALMOST THERE...

''{Cut back to view of Stinkoman's silhouette flying up against the blue sky. Suddenly he stops moving and lines appear arround him, signifying surprise.}''

''{As the level begins, the following words are projected across the screen for a few seconds.}''
<pre>GET TENBREAD BUT
NOT OTHER THINGS!</pre>

===Stage 3.2 (Guide)===
* Like the last stage, this stage is also mini-game like. This time Stinkoman is falling down and lots of different items are coming up. The controls are the same as stage 3.1's, but you won't be needing to punch. Gravity makes things much, much faster, doesn't it?
* You want to collect ten pieces of bread without collecting anything else. Collecting anything else (there are also apples, bars of soap, ears and P's) will make you lose a point, but you can't get anything less than 0 points.
* You cannot get hurt during this round. It will last as long as it takes you to get ten points. A good strategy is to stay away from everything bad and to only try to collect bread when it's in the open. This can prove difficult, as bread compensates as only one fifth of the items that come up.
*If you are at 0 points and there's a whole crowd of bad objects ahead with a bread under it, you might as well get it.
* This level can be tricky to master, so practice, practice, practice. Expect to have Stinkoman fall for a long, long time before he hits the ground.

===Level 3 Boss: Stlunko (Transcript)===
''{Stinkoman falls down on the other side of the wall. Suddenly the ground shakes and Stlunko the giant robot pops out of the ground and Stinkoman finds himself on a conveyor belt. There are two giant gray hands at the sides.}''

''{The camera zooms into Stinkoman's eye and he squints.}''

''{Switch to original view. Two Pooru-Poorus have mysteriously appeared on both sides of the conveyer belt. As the fight begins, Stinkoman says his classic line out loud.}'' 
'''STINKOMAN:''' Are you asking for a challenge?

'''''After you defeat Stlunko...'''''

''{Whatever was left of the antenna explodes.}

''{Cut to a cinematic sequence with Stinkoman's head silhouetted in the foreground. In the background, explosions are appearing all over Stlunko as he sinks into the ground and disappears.}'' 
'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{subtitled}'' I DID IT. I KNEW I COULD!!

''{Stinkoman is standing in a field. One of Stlunko's hands is laying around nearby.}'' 
'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{subtitled}'' AHA!! 
'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{subtitled}'' CHECK THIS OUT...

''{Cut to a scene with ingame-like graphics. Stinkoman walks up to giant gray hand and attaches it to his left fist. Then he walks away to the right to where he had come from.}'' 
'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{subtitled}'' IT COULD BE MY NEW POWERUP!!

''{Stinkoman is standing in an action pose against a black background. The giant gray fist is replacing his left fist. Subtitles are overhead.}
<pre>MORE LEVELS TO COME!</pre>

===Level 3 Boss: Stlunko (Guide)===
* Stlunko is a stealthy robot who was hiding in the ground. At first, only his antenna was showing, but when Sinkoman landed, he arose to attack. He boasts a huge conveyer belt and two hands that he can move around freely. His only weakness is his antenna.
* Stinkoman is stuck on Stlunko's conveyer belt. The conveyer belt will hinder Stinkoman from running one direction and help him run the other way. It will occasionally switch directions. There are two Pooru-Poorus on the sides for Stinkoman to meet if he falls off. But Stlunko's main attack is the combined forces of his two heavy hands which he smashes into the ground. They fly around, and when they want to smash, they freeze, flash and smash straight down, crushing any little red robot-people below. Occasionally both hands will move to the edges of the screen and smash together in a duo attack.
* His only weakness is his antenna, which at first is made out of four rectangular sections. You can't punch it, you have to hit it with your flying fist. Everytime it is hurt four times, a section will disappear. Apparently Stlunko's antenna is his energy source, because if he loses it, he dies.
* To defend his attacks, watch the hands. The conveyer belt is too slow to make you care about falling off too much. You still don't want to fall off, though. Anyway, back to the hands. You must always be watching the hands. Don't worry about them flying around until they stop moving and start to flash. That's a sign to get out of the way! Don't try running away against the conveyer belt; you will probably take too long to get into the clear. Instead, run with the conveyer belt to stay safe. If you have to get to the side opposite of the direction of the conveyor belt, you can jump forward to avoid being pushed back.
* You can only attack his antenna. Don't bother shooting anything else. Whenever you aren't dodging fists, jump and take a shot at it. You can't hurt it while it's blinking red, though. A great oppurtunity is when both fists go off to the sides to preform their duo attack. Every four shots, the antenna will shrink, making it harder to hit. Sixteen shots will do him in.

Teplotaxl: /* ''Battleon.com'' */ grammarchecka.exe

Homestar is slowly taking over the world, as evidenced by some of these documented sightings.

'''Please NO hotlinked images''' - Just a simple link to the image will do as this will ensure that the page will load faster for users with slower Internet connections.

== TELEVISION ==

===''Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends''===
During the episode "Bloo's Brothers" a Bloo clone that looks freakishly similar to Homestar appears. It's only brief so blink and you'll miss it!

[http://www.deviantart.com/view/15766022/ Proof here.]

===''Codename: Kids Next Door''===
On the Kids Next Door episode T.R.A.I.N.I.N.G. Numbuh 60's destination is their moon base, yet he calls it [[The Moon]] in a similar way as a soy-sauce-drunk Strong Bad did in the SB Email [[personal favorites]].

===''NFL Films: Game of the Week ('05 NFC Divisional Championship St Louis Rams Vs. Atlanta Falcons)''===
About three-quarters through this hour-long recap of the game (a Falcons' victory), one of the defensive linemen for Atlanta - Patrick Kearny perhaps? - points to his family in the stands. One of them is holding up a sign that says "GOOD JORB!", an unmistakable reference to Coach Z.

===''The Screen Savers''===
On an episode of The Screen Savers on G4TechTV there was a guest on there that knows how to make Atari 2600 games and he is making a [[Homestar Runner RPG]], which is still in development.

The [http://www.g4techtv.com/screensavers/episodes/3848/Home_Star_Runner_eXeem_LA_Auto_Show.html January 24th episode] of The Screen Savers had [[Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005|an interview]] with [[The Brothers Chaps]]. Also featured on this episode, puppet Strong Bad made his debut to answer questions from fans. The article also mentions that in order to learn more than one ever thought possible about [[Homestar Runner (flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]], one can head over to the Homestar Runner Wiki.

===''G4tv.com''===
On [http://www.g4tv.com/g4tv/episodes/3888/Men_are_from_World_of_Warcraft_Woman_are_From_The_Sims.html this episode] of G4tv.com on G4, an unnamed person, playing the role of Laura Foy's date, was seen wearing a "[[Trogdor]]" shirt.

The videoclip, entitled Gamer Dating Do's And Don'ts is now available for viewing at [http://www.g4tv.com/mediaplayer/index.aspx?video_key=9033 this location.]

===''The Geek Show''===
On "[http://www.thegeekshow.com/ The Geek Show]", [[Strong Bad Email]]s are frequently shown as an example of "What's funny on the internet." They have played both "[[japanese cartoon]]" and "[[dullard]]" on their show.

===''Junkin''===
On the television show [http://www.turnersouth.com/network/shows/junkin/ Junkin'], the host "Dave" has appeared wearing [[Trogdor]] and Strong Bad T-shirts.

=== ''Buffy'' ===
In the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Ep 7x22) Trogdor was used as a creature in a game of Dungeons and Dragons. The following is a transcript of the reference.

GILES: I'm—I'm—I'm all turned around. You're here?

XANDER: By the pillar, yeah. I'm protecting this area.

GILES: That puts me over by the door. Demons around the perimeter— Right! I open the door.

Pan over to show Andrew is also at the table, but he's wearing a red hooded cloak.

ANDREW: (reading from a book) You go through the door and are confronted by Trogdor the Burninator.

GILES: Oh, bugger it. Fight. (rolls dice, sips wine)

ANDREW: Adios to 5 hit points. Trogdor has badly wounded you.

GILES: Well, wait a minute. What about my... (puts on glasses) bag of illusions?

ANDREW: (scoffs) Illusions against a Burninator? Silly, silly British man. (Giles sips his wine again)

AMANDA: I invoke a time flux on Trogdor.

ANDREW: (looks at Amanda) Step down, girlfriend, you can't just—

AMANDA: Ninth level sorcerer, and I carry the emerald chalice. Trogdor is frozen in time. Deal with it. (writes something down)

=== ''Angel'' ===
In a season five episode of ''Angel'' entitled "The Girl In Question," (also entitled "An Italian job for Spike and Angel") Angel and Spike were looking for Buffy overseas. They arrived at the apartment where Buffy lives, but Andrew was the only one there. He was talking to them about someone named "The Immortal," and he was wearing a black Strong Bad t-shirt. Later in the episode, Andrew wore the same SB shirt with a pore strip plastered on his nose.

Incidentally, Andrew is the very same character who appeared in the Trogdor-laden ''Buffy'' reference. Since both shows are the brainchildren of creator/writer/executive director Joss Whedon, we can probably assume that the creator of the Buffyverse is also a fan of Homestarverse.

=== ''Megas XLR'' ===
In an episode called "Breakout", Coop tried to use an attack called Double Deuce by jumping and putting two fists in front of him.

=== ''Monster House'' ===

=== ''Pulse Interview'' ===
In early 2004 the show Pulse on G4TechTV talked with the Brothers Chaps, and asked them about their new game that they are developing for the Atari 2600. They showed many video clips of their Atari game. The Chaps told about how they record their voices and how successful they have been. They announced that later this year they are going to release a DVD with the First 100 emails. Later after the commercial break they went to interview the company that is developing the Homestar Runner game. The company was Videlectrix of course. The whole interview was weird because you could tell that the Videlectrix owner was just one of the Brothers Chaps in a mustache but the whole making an Atari game was real.

=== ''Cheat'' ===
On one episode of Cheat on G4TechTV, they were talking about a name generator on "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" and if you made names long enough, Homsar's name would show up.

=== ''Survivor: Pearl Islands'' ===
When Ryan Shoulders (known on the show as Ryan S.) picks up some tree mail (the show's system of getting messages to the castaways), he sings the opening to SB Email [[techno]], singing it as "the tree mail, the tree mail, what, what, the tree mail." This may also explain Ryan S.' name appearing in the email "[[theme park]]".

=== ''X-Play'' ===
On an episode of G4TechTV's X-Play, the wrestling game "WWE: Day of Reckoning" is reviewed, and when the "create your own wrestler" mode is being demoed, the created wrestler (presumably created for the show, not by the game's developers) looks suspiciously like Strong Bad, and appears to be named alternately "SB" and "Essbee". You can see the [http://porplemontage.com/media/XPLAY_SB.wmv video here].

=== ''Super Size Me'' ===
In the movie ''[[IMDb:tt0390521|Super Size Me]]'', there are a group of kids at the computer where one is watching an old Tandy era Strong Bad Email.

=== ''CNN Student News'' ===

On CNN Headline News, there is this short news magazine called [http://cnnstudentnews.cnn.com/fyi/index.html/ CNN Student News].

Featured on ''' Addict'd to Gaming''' 
A segment on Red Vs. Blue showed the cast of Homestar Runner in their real-world, plastic figurine state atop the preview moniter for a Red Vs. Blue episode.

== RADIO ==
=== ''Quizno's and Homestar on NPR'' ===
On March 9th 2004, Homestarrunner.com was featured on NPR's Talk of the Nation. You can find the radio segment [http://www.npr.org/features/feature.php?wfId=1753401 here]. You have to listen a little bit to get to the segment. It features [[kind of cool]], as well as the email [[different town]]. It starts around 9:15 into the clip and lasts until the end.

=== ''The Rock''===
There was also a quote from [[Strong Bad]]'s character page on a La Crosse, Wisconson radio station called "95.7 The Rock." It goes from the part
where strong bad says, "Ladies form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high-fives," and stops at the part where Homestar says, "Well, I was going to get a
high-five, but I see that I'm already here."

=== ''Strong Bad Live!'' ===
On June 7th, 2003 at Giants Stadium, Radiohead, the Beastie Boys, and other big name bands of that sort played, but the best part was the showing of Strong Bad emails over the JumboTron in between acts.

=== ''Beastie Boys 2004 Pageant Tour ===

''Everybody to the Limit'' and other Homestar Runner footage might have been part of other Beastie Boys shows during the 2004 Pageant Tour, but no other sightings were reported up until now.
The JumboTron screens were an essential part of the show and were also used during the concert to show live footage of the stage as well as other pop culture reference material like accelerated footage of some Atari 2600 video games gameplay such as Frogger's and scenes from Battlestar Galactica (during their song '''Intergalactic''').

(at which the left and right sides of the band formation went wide-screen)

Also, the Yale Anti-Gravity Society's fall 2004 juggling/fire show was basically an entire trogdor narrative: one guy, starring as Trogdor, complete with a huge muscular arm and green clothing, played the Limozeen version of "Trogdor!" while breathing fire-- there was also a peasant involved, who, throughout the course of the show, became on fire like a peasant.

On the television show [http://www.turnersouth.com/network/shows/junkin/ Junkin'], the host "Dave" has appeared wearing [[Trogdor]] and Strong Bad T-shirts.

=== ''Buffy'' ===
In the series finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Ep 7x22) Trogdor was used as a creature in a game of Dungeons and Dragons. The following is a transcript of the reference.

GILES: I'm—I'm—I'm all turned around. You're here?

XANDER: By the pillar, yeah. I'm protecting this area.

GILES: That puts me over by the door. Demons around the perimeter— Right! I open the door.

Pan over to show Andrew is also at the table, but he's wearing a red hooded cloak.

ANDREW: (reading from a book) You go through the door and are confronted by Trogdor the Burninator.

GILES: Oh, bugger it. Fight. (rolls dice, sips wine)

ANDREW: Adios to 5 hit points. Trogdor has badly wounded you.

GILES: Well, wait a minute. What about my... (puts on glasses) bag of illusions?

ANDREW: (scoffs) Illusions against a Burninator? Silly, silly British man. (Giles sips his wine again)

AMANDA: I invoke a time flux on Trogdor.

ANDREW: (looks at Amanda) Step down, girlfriend, you can't just—

AMANDA: Ninth level sorcerer, and I carry the emerald chalice. Trogdor is frozen in time. Deal with it. (writes something down)

=== ''Angel'' ===
In a season five episode of ''Angel'' entitled "The Girl In Question," (also entitled "An Italian job for Spike and Angel") Angel and Spike were looking for Buffy overseas. They arrived at the apartment where Buffy lives, but Andrew was the only one there. He was talking to them about someone named "The Immortal," and he was wearing a black Strong Bad t-shirt. Later in the episode, Andrew wore the same SB shirt with a pore strip plastered on his nose.

Incidentally, Andrew is the very same character who appeared in the Trogdor-laden ''Buffy'' reference. Since both shows are the brainchildren of creator/writer/executive director Joss Whedon, we can probably assume that the creator of the Buffyverse is also a fan of Homestarverse.

They announced that later this year they are going to release a DVD with the First 100 emails. Later after the commercial break they went to interview the company that is developing the Homestar Runner game. The company was Videlectrix of course.

When Ryan Shoulders (known on the show as Ryan S.) picks up some tree mail (the show's system of getting messages to the castaways), he sings the opening to SB Email [[techno]], singing it as "the tree mail, the tree mail, what, what, the tree mail." This may also explain Ryan S.' name appearing in the email "[[theme park]]".

=== ''X-Play'' ===
On an episode of G4TechTV's X-Play, the wrestling game "WWE: Day of Reckoning" is reviewed, and when the "create your own wrestler" mode is being demoed, the created wrestler (presumably created for the show, not by the game's developers) looks suspiciously like Strong Bad, and appears to be named alternately "SB" and "Essbee".

=== ''Strong Bad Live!'' ===
On June 7th, 2003 at Giants Stadium, Radiohead, the Beastie Boys, and other big name bands of that sort played, but the best part was the showing of Strong Bad emails over the JumboTron in between acts.

=== ''Beastie Boys 2004 Pageant Tour ===

''Everybody to the Limit'' and other Homestar Runner footage might have been part of other Beastie Boys shows during the 2004 Pageant Tour, but no other sightings were reported up until now.
The JumboTron screens were an essential part of the show and were also used during the concert to show live footage of the stage as well as other pop culture reference material like accelerated footage of some Atari 2600 video games gameplay such as Frogger's and scenes from Battlestar Galactica (during their song '''Intergalactic''').

(at which the left and right sides of the band formation went wide-screen)

Also, the Yale Anti-Gravity Society's fall 2004 juggling/fire show was basically an entire trogdor narrative: one guy, starring as Trogdor, complete with a huge muscular arm and green clothing, played the Limozeen version of "Trogdor!" while breathing fire-- there was also a peasant involved, who, throughout the course of the show, became on fire like a peasant.

'''Strong Bad Email #123'''

Strong Bad discusses the hangingoutitude of [[The Stick]].

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Little Strong Bad]], [[Se�or]], [[Mr. Bland]], [[Bubs]], [[The Stick]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[The Cheat]], [[Strong Mad]], [[Marzipan]], [[Homsar]], [[Strong Sad]], [[The King of Town]]

'''Date:''' January 31, 2005

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in monotone}'' This email is leaving the station. Please move to the center of the email, and away from the doors.

<pre>subject: a sticky question...
Dear Strong bad,
I have recently been wondering about the origin of the
stick. Has it always been a good place for hanging out and
making rendezvous?

Luke, Eau Claire, WI</pre>

''{he tries to pronounce 'rendezvous' plural, as 'rendezvouuuu-ses?', and the bottom line as 'Luke, eww...Claire...why?'}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh! Why do you Van Peebles always wanna know the origins and histories of every freakin' little thing? Like, do you wanna know how Strong Sad got his belly button, too?

''{cut to a young Strong Bad's birthday; a sign reads 'Happy Birthday Lil Strong Bad'. Strong Bad has a black shirt with a yellow truck on it, and is looking at a white present with a blue ribbon and a tag reading 'To Strong Bad From Mom or Dad'. He grabs the lid and takes it off to reveal a power drill.}''

'''LIL STRONG BAD:''' ''{lifting the drill}'' Oh, awesome! ''{he revs the drill}''

''{cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{clears the screen}'' Or, like, the origin of Bubs' Concession Stand?

''{Original Book style. Se�or and Mr. Bland stand in flat greenness, and Strong Bad's words are subtitled.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Se�or Havin' A Little Trouble and Mr. Bland were by far the most popular characters.

''{a red Stand falls on them with a splurt!}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then, they were crushed by a falling Bubs' Concession Stand.

''{Bubs appears in it, waving}''

'''BUBS:''' Hot time!

'''STRONG BAD:''' said Bubs

''{back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I'm not gonna show you those things. Or the origin of the stick. But I will indulge your curiousity ''{misspelt, but pronounced correctly}'' about the stick's hangingoutitude. It currently rates a 10, but such was not always the case. Like when Homestar used to hold his weekly ''{sounding disturbed, and the words turn green and jiggle on screen}'' bread sing-alongs, ''{back to normal}'' we avoided that place like the plegg! Er, ''{deletes up to the 'p'}'' plague!

''{cut to The Stick, where Homestar Runner is surrounded by bread. He is holding a slice and waving it around while marching on the spot}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' Bread is a good time for me, woo-oo-doo singing, bread is a good time for everybody!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover; Homestar keeps peeking out around the bread slice}'' We sure sniped that problem right between the eyes from three hundred yards by scheduling The Cheat's rhythmic chain dancing recitals for the same time and place.

''{Strong Bad and Strong Mad stand in the background while The Cheat, dressed in a blue suit, is swinging a chain around, hitting Homestar's face and the bread. Homestar has acquired a sign reading 'Come On & Sing.'}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing, despite being hit in the face}'' I cut the crusts off in the morning light...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{clapping; The Cheat picks up a slice of bread and twirls it while making The Cheat noises}'' He's quite good.

'''STRONG MAD:''' WHAT GRACE!

''{back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' After a couple of minutes, the popularity of Homestar's sing-alongs faded and Strong Mad ate The Cheat's chainwhip. So that's when the stick became a great place to spraypaint Marzipan.

''{Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat by The Stick spraying at Marzipan's dress, which has a picture of a steak and 'St8k DiNNeR' written on it graffiti-style}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' To me, this is something that losers would do.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, this is gonna be my freshest piece yet.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Strong Mad, that looks like cooking spray.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! Aw, that's some never-forgive action right there.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover; the scene darkens slightly}'' But spraypainting people isn't very much fun when they stand there and make fun of you.

''{cut to Marzipan standing by The Stick with an upside-down Homsar stuck to her head, at night; a wolf howls}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So I super-glued her to Hhh-Homsar...and left them for dead.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ooh, I think I hear wolves coming.

'''HOMSAR:''' Iiiii'm the human wedgie. ''{His hat falls and lands on Marzipan's dress}''

''{Homestar marches in, holding a loaf of bread}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' .. don't ask me why, pumpernickel and rye. ''{Note: Homestar's speech impediment makes "why" and "rye" sound exactly the same.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' In order to properly leave them for dead, and not keep hanging around them for dead, we relocated to behind Bubs' ''{cut to Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat behind Bubs' Concession Stand with the muffler and pipe, and a crown with 'On Point' spraypainted on the wall}'' and started calling ourselves the On Point Kings. We'd take no guff from nobody!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to The Cheat}'' Hey man, I know what it means. I was just seeing if you knew.

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

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{walking in}'' Have you guys seen my moleskin journal?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{producing the power drill}'' You want another belly button there, Harry Elephant�?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{starts at powering of drill}'' Waaah! No sir! Heck no at all! ''{runs away}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{throws drill away}'' Man, did you guys see me refuse to take that guff? I flat out rejected it! That guff never even had a chance! ''{pulls out a nail file and starts filing his gloves}'' Ah, that's what being an On Point King is all about.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{walks in with a blue dunce cap on for some reason}'' I hear somebody mention a pointy king? ''{nods his hat}'' Doink doink?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Heck no at all!

''{back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So ya see Claire, if it weren't for the stick, and Marzipan's considerable resistance to death, the On Point Kings may never have stolen the King of Town's dunce cap and renamed it Lotionman. {''a little embarrassed, and stutters his 'd' (not typed)}'' D-Don't ask, it was Strong Mad's idea. Well, I hope that makes you not email me anymore.

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

== Easter Eggs ==

* Click on "Eau Claire, WI" to view Beverly Sportsinterview's book "Ewww..Claire!! Why???"
* Click on "dunce" at the end to see and hear an album of Homestar's Bread Sing-alongs.
** Keep clicking the CD cover to hear different songs. The three songs he sings are the same as the ones from the email.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the first time Homsar's hat has not returned to him, regardless of his position (if we don't count [[Modestly Hot Homsar]]). Because he is upside down while glued to Marzipan's forehead, his hat settles on her dress. However, in his character video, he ends up upside down at the end (or, depending on your point of view, the entire video), but his hat still comes back to him.
*This is one of the only times in a toon that a reaction shot, such as Strong Sad's after being threatened with the drill, is featured. Normally [[The Brothers Chaps]] keep the perspective facing in one direction, children's book style, and do not show the faces of those facing away from the normal camera perspective.
*This is the first time [[Se�or|Se�or's]] full name is revealed (Se�or Havin' A Little Trouble).
*Even though in the origin of Bubs' Concession Stand, the sign above the window reads "STAND", the first appearance of said concession stand ([[Where My Hat is At?]]), the sign reads "CANDY".
*Se�or & Mr. Bland got crushed by Bubs' Concession Stand, though they appear in the audience of [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]]. Bubs' Concession Stand appeared before this toon.
*If you look closely at Strong Mad's silhouetted shape, you can see an outline of the front of Strong Mad.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad has trouble with the pronunciation of the plural form of the word ''rendezvous'', which is spelled the same as the singular, not ''rendezvouses''. The plural can be pronounced either /'''ron'''-day-voo/ (which is also the same as the singular) or /'''ron'''-day-vooz/.
*"Eau Claire" means "Clear Water" in French; the correct pronunciation of "eau" is "oh".
*The word "St8k" is spraypainted on Marzipan. If it were pronounced the way it is spelled, it would be "Stateke" instead of Steak.
*In the Bread Sing-a-Longs CD, the picture of Homestar blinks. This is due to his flash animation, which constantly has him blinking.

===Inside References===
*We last saw the smashed muffler in [[no loafing]].
*The appearance of Homestar's Bread Singalongs CD is similar to Strong Bad's Rhythm 'N' Grammar as seen at the end of [[local news]].
* Strong Bad was last "On Point" in the "[[Extra Real Dating Sim XR]]."
*This is the second time in the past two cartoons that a character has been pictured wearing a truck shirt. Little Strong Bad does so here, and [[Tompkins]] wore one in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]]. Also, Little Strong Bad's voice is very similar to [[Tompkins]]'.
*Strong Bad's misspelling of "plague" is likely a reference to [[Peasant's Quest]], in which there is a joke about misspelling "plaque" as "plague."

===Real-World References===
*Strong Bad's introduction to the email is a reference to the automated voice systems commonly used on subway trains, and is nearly identical to the one once used on the train between concourses at the Atlanta Airport (TBC live in Atlanta).
*The drill used to give Strong Sad his belly button is likely a DeWalt Drill, DeWalt being famous for their yellow colored heavy duty tools.
**The sound that the drill makes is closer to the sound of a compressed-air powered tool, rather than an electric drill.
*When Se�or and Mr. Bland are crushed in the scene depicting the origin of [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], the manner in which their legs stick out is as that of the Wicked Witch of the East in [[Wikipedia:The_Wizard_of_Oz_%281939_movie%29|The Wizard of Oz]] when she is crushed by Dorothy's house.
*Beverly Sportsinterviews, likely related to [[Lem Sportsinterviews]], is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Beverly Cleary|Beverly Cleary]], an author for children and young adults.
*[[Wikipedia:Moleskine|Moleskine]] is a brand of pocket notebooks and sketch pads popular among trend-following artists and writers. Strong Sad mistakenly pronounces it "mole skin", whereas the correct pronunciation is "mol-a-skeen'-a".
*"Harry Elephante" is a reference to famous calypso musician [[Wikipedia:Harry Belafonte|Harry Belafonte]]. As similar joke was made in the ''Friends'' episode entitled "The One After The Super Bowl," when Ross (David Schwimmer) mentions that his monkey's favorite toy is named "Harry Elephante". It also brings to mind Chester Elegante, from [[dreamail]].
*"Van Peebles" is a reference to the filmmakers [[Wikipedia:Melvin Van Peebles|Melvin Van Peebles]] (known for ''[[Wikipedia:Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song|Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song]]'') and his son [[Wikipedia:Mario Van Peebles|Mario Van Peebles]].
*In the second bread sing-along song, Homestar sings, "I cut the crusts off in the morning light." This is a reference to the 80s metal band [[Wikipedia:Dokken|Dokken]], whose song "Alone Again" had the same tune and opens with "I'd like to see you in the morning light."
*Where "bread sing-alongs" is green and jittering, this could be a reference to the Nintendo 64 game Banjo-Kazooie, where when a character said something 'disgusting' those particular words would jiggle in that fashion.
*Strong Bad's line "that's some never-forgive action right there" is a direct quote from Min One in the [[Wikipedia:graffiti|graffiti]] documentary [[Wikipedia:Style Wars|Style Wars]].

Peasant's Quest Walkthrough

2005-02-10T02:16:11Z

Teplotaxl: /* Points Guide */ dieing should be dying

Here is a complete walkthrough for the game [[Peasant's Quest]].

{{spoiler}}

[[Image:peasantmap.png]]

''(These numbers correspond to the steps outlined in the walkthrough below.)''

'''Key:'''
*STINK Like A Peasant — ''Blue Dots''
*DRESS Like A Peasant — ''Gold Dots''
*Get ON FIRE Like A Peasant — ''Green Dots''
*Get Your Revenge On Trogdor (maybe) — ''Red Dots''

== The Beginning ==
Before you do anything, you'll want to talk to the knight. He'll explain the whole quest to you, and give you a few tips on what you're allowed to do. He'll tell you that before you can go up the mountain to challenge Trogdor, you need to STINK like a peasant, DRESS like a peasant, and be ON FIRE like a peasant.

'''General note''': In the true style of the old Sierra games, if you find things too slow, you can bump up the speed by pushing + a few times, and slow it back down by pushing -.

== STINK Like a Peasant ==
This quest corresponds with the blue dots on the map above.
#It's useful (though not worth any points) to get the map. This is back at your cottage, which can be reached by going W, S, W, W. Walk into your burninated cottage and type 'look cottage'. You'll discover that there's one piece of unburninated paper. Type 'get paper' or 'get map' to have Dashing tuck it into his pocket. Dashing uses the paper to record where you've been. You can now access the map at any time simply by typing 'map'.
#Go E and walk to the shore. Type 'get pebbles' to pick up the small rocks. They'll be useful for step #3.
#Go S and S to get to the well, or just go north twice. Walk up to it and type 'turn crank'. You'll be told that the crank won't budge. 'put pebbles in bucket' in order to make the bucket descend from the weight. 'turn crank' to get the bucket back up, which should get you a monster maskus.
#Go S again, walk in front of the counter, and type 'talk man' to learn of the archery teacher's plight, and the secret word, 'haldo', you should say to his brother if you ever meet him.
#Go W, N, W to get to the horse. Stand in front of him and 'wear mask'. You can now go through the fence to the west.
#Here you'll find the archer's brother. Say 'haldo' and he'll leave. Walk up to the tree and type 'get arrow'.
#Go E, N, E, E, E to get to the house surrounded by bushes. Type 'open door' to go into the hut and type 'talk' to talk to the lady. She'll inform you that the Jhonka has taken her riches, and that she'll give you something special if you get them back for her. Remember that for later. She'll also tell you her baby lost something outside, and if you find it, it's yours. Before you leave, walk over to the shelves and type 'get chicken feed'. When you get outside, walk up to each of the berry bushes and type 'get berries'. At the fourth tree (no matter which order you do them in), you should get the super trinket.
#Go back to the archery counter by going W, N, N. Walk up to the archery counter and 'talk'. Then 'give trinket' to be able to play the archery game. Type 'play' in order to shoot. This is most likely the trickiest part of the game: you have to aim your bow according to the wind direction indicated by the flag on the right. Try to line up the tip of your arrow with the furthest right or left pixel of the target's leg in strong winds (flag moving due left or right), one pixel inside of the formost part of the leg during mild winds (flag diagonal), and directly at the bullseye when the air is still (flag down). To shoot, press space, and then press space again when the indicator reaches the red line. When the second indicator reaches the red line, press space a third time and you should get a bullseye. Get three bullseyes to win the SuperTime FunBow TM. You can now kill Kerrek.
#Go S, S to get to him (if he's not there, walk off and back on the screen a few times) and type 'shoot kerrek'. It will now start raining. Walk up to his body and type 'get belt'. Congratulations, you now STINK like a peasant!

== DRESS Like a Peasant ==
This quest corresponds with the gold dots on the map above.
#To start this quest, you'll need to get the loot back for the peasant woman. To do so, walk N, N, W to the mud puddle (which is now wet since it rained) and walk into the puddle to get covered with mud.
#Go W to get to the haystack, which you'll need to hide in to avoid getting killed by the Jhonka. Type 'hide' to jump into the pile of hay.
#Waddle S in your new costume, walk up to the pile of loot, and type 'get riches'. Your costume will blow away and the Jhonka will be very unhappy and ask you if you took his riches. Simply type 'no' and you're in the clear.
#Return to collect your prize by going S, E, E, E to the hut. 'open door' gets you inside again, and then 'give riches'. Here you'll find out that the woman is a complete fraud. The riches were probably the Jhonka's to begin with, but the lady runs out leaving you alone with her baby. You can use the baby to get four items.
#Go N and 'talk man' to find out about the fishing. He needs a different kind of bait, so go ahead and 'throw chicken feed' into the lake. The man will reel in a big catch, and return to work at the inn nearby.
#Go E and 'open door' to go into the inn. 'give baby' to the innkeeper to get the pills.
#Leave the inn and go W, W to the west side of the lake. Stand at the center near the left (the game is finicky about this, but try standing at the spot where the pebbles used to be) and 'throw baby' to get the soda.
#Then go N, N to the well and 'put baby in bucket' and 'turn crank' to get the meatball sub.
#N, W, W brings you to the mysterious hut without a doorknob, which belongs to Naked Ned by the wavy tree. Walk to the right of the hut and type 'move rock'. The hole's a little too small for you to fit through, but someone else shouldn't have any problems. Type 'deploy baby' to get the door open. Walk into the now opened hut and go over to the dresser. 'open drawer' reveals a peasant robe. Take it with 'get robe', put it on with 'wear robe', and then just because you're so neat and tidy, close the dresser with 'close drawer' to get an extra point. Congratulations, now you DRESS like a peasant!

== Get ON FIRE Like a Peasant ==
This quest corresponds with the green dots on the map above.
#Go E, E, E, E, N to return to the inn and type 'open door' to get inside. 'talk man' to learn how to spend the night, which he'll only let you do if you're wearing Naked Ned's robe. Type 'get a room'. You'll wake up 20 mins later, at which point you should walk over to the pantry and 'look pantry' to learn that the innkeeper seems to like a little something called "Old Man Rub" *ick*. You'll need the pot on the top shelf. Type 'get pot' or 'get grease' in order to reach up and grab it. With your nouveau headwear, you have to navigate your way out of the inn, which can be a little annoying. Just keep trying arrow keys until you're moving towards the door.
#Go S and walk near the lantern. Congratulations, you're now ON FIRE and a true, honest to goodness peasant!

== Get Your Revenge on Trogdor (maybe) ==
This quest corresponds with the red dots on the map above.
#You can now go up to Trogdor's lair. Walk N, N to get to the guard and type 'talk man' to get him to move. Walk E to get to the cliff, save your game, go up to the cliff, and type 'climb' to get into an incredibly annoying Sierra-esque boulder and bird dodge-fest. The ledges and branches on the cliff do nothing, so don't bother with them. You'll have to go up three screens to get to the top.
#You are now in Trogdor's lair. Save your game again. Walk into the cave and start heading E until you're accosted by the first keeper. You'll have to answer three questions about the game in order to make it to Trogdor. Alternatively, you can 'give sub', 'give soda', and 'give pills' to skip the questions (either of these option gives you the same number of points). The answers to the questions are (there may be more questions than these): "Haldo", "SuperTime FunBow TM", "Old Man Rub", "Orange", "5", "Naked Ned", "C", "Northeast to Southwest", "The Kerrek".
#Go E to meet your doom. Don't walk too close to Trogdor. All you have to do is type 'use sword' to attack the beast. Now you've gotten his attention and must deal with his majesty. Type 'talk trogdor' to face the burninator, thus completing the game. Or, if you want to complete the game without 150 points, just keep typing things such as "give shirt" and "form peace", and eventually, he'll just burninate you, but you'll still win.

'''Final score''': ''150 out of 150.''

'''StrongBadEmail #100'''

The long-anticipated 100th Email, where Jon from NH asks [[Strong Bad]] how long he has known [[Homestar Runner]]. It ends up as a big spoof on the original Homestar children's book, in WIDESCREEEEEEEEEEEEN!

'''Cast (In order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Coach Z]], [[Prince of Town]], [[Strong Mad]], [[Pom Pom]], [[Bubs]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Marzipan]], [[Mr. Bland]], [[Señor]], [[The Cheat]], [[Limozeen]] (easter egg), [[Senor Cardgage]] (easter egg), [[The Strong Bad]] (easter egg)

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD''': ONE TWO THREE FOUR ''{starts singing hard rock with instruments in the background}'' EMAIL IS AWESOME, EMAIL IS WEIRD, EMAIL IS AWESOME AND EMAIL IS WEIRD! And I'll never forget the way it was, GRRRL!

''{Starts reading. However, the text is in the style of Tandy, and it is in fact the very first e-mail he's ever done.}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,

Do you take your wrestling mask and boxing
gloves off before you go to bed?

Sincerely,
Abdi LaRue
San Diego, CA</pre>

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

''{reading}''

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

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

''{typing}'' Oh, I got flashbacks alright, Jon. I'm like, Discount Flashback Warehouse over here. But this particular flashback has way too much historical significance to be shown in anything but WIDESCREEEEEEEEEEEEN. Left side: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAH! ''{As he says this with a resonating noise, the left side of the screen expands out. His next one he doesn't type.}'' Right side: WOOOOOAHH--''{the right side of the screen expands out to show Homestar standing there}'' wha-uh, what are you doin' over there?

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

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

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

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{looking dejected}'' Yes sir.

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

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

''{We go to a picture of Strong Bad on the moon with a tennis racket. The drawing is in the style of the original children's book and we see that it's just a parody of that style. Although, the characters are still somewhat animated. Strong Bad doesn't read every little piece of text, so the text that's there that he doesn't read will be included in a parenthetical when it occurs}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Strong Bad meets the Homestar Runner.

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

Everyone loves Strong Bad. He is an okay guy.

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

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

''{turn the page to them flying down a rainbow from the moon to earth}''

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

''{turn the page to Coach Z holding a towel and talking to Strong Bad}''

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

''{turn the page to see Strong Bad walking toward a giant pink egg with yellow spots}''

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

''{turn the page to a closer view of Strong Bad and the egg}''

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

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

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

''{turn the page to a closer view of the scene}''

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

''{turn the page to zoom out to see the Prince of Town looking at Strong Bad and Homestar}''

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

''{turn the page to a closeup of the Prince of Town}''

"We'll settle this with a ten-step footrace."

''{turn the page to see a bunch of the gang, including some characters from the original children's book, watching Strong Bad and Homestar at the start line of a race}''

And so they all gathered for a ten-step footrace. The slim and trim young Prince of Town explained the rules. ''{a piece of paper shows up reading: "Ten-step Footrace Official Rules. Rule One. Whoever goes the most distance in ten steps, will be the winner! Rule Two. No biting."}'' "Whoever goes the most distance in ten steps, will be the winner!"

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

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

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

"Ten!" "And the Duckie-man is the winner. Loser gets the egg."

''{turn the page to see Homestar up front and Strong Bad in the distance with the egg}''

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

''{turn the page to see Strong Mad holding the egg over his head while Strong Bad watches}''

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

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

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

''{The Cheat springs out of the egg, turn the page to give him his very own page. Turn the page again to see Strong Bad and the Cheat with the egg in the background.}''

"Awesome! My very own a The Cheat!"

''{turn the page to see everyone hanging out by a boombox}''

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

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

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

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

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

''{proceeds to say email 100 times, [[The Paper]] comes down}''

Oo. I'm pa-I'm parched. ''{wheezes}'' I need a glass of water. ''{the screen creates a glass of water onscreen}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*When Strong Bad pulls out the book "The Homestar Runner Gets Something Stuck In His Craw," you can click on it to get a closer look.
*After Strong Bad says "Email" 100 times, you can click on the words:
**"Congratulations!" for a message from [[Limozeen]]
::'''LIMOZEEN:''' Congratulations Strong Bad on your 100th email!
::''{slight pause}''
::'''LARRY:''' WE'RE FROM THE BAND LIMOZEEN!
::'''GARY:''' Uh, I think it says that at the top of the screen, Larry.
::'''LARRY:''' WELL '''''I''''' DIDN'T KNOW THAT!
::''{The band members strike various poses and the frame freezes, as the central riff from "Because It's Midnite" plays}''
*** Direct link to Limozeen's greeting: http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail100_zeen.swf
**"you" to see Homestar deliver his message
::''{Homestar is standing in the field, wearing the Duckie Shirt}''
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Happy hundredth birthday, Strong Bad!
**"have" to see a funny message from Marzipan
::''{Marzipan is standing in her house near her answering machine}''
::'''MARZIPAN:''' Whoo-hoo, Strong Bad, whoo-hoo. I've almost caught up with you. I only have 90 more answering machines to go.
**"answered" to see Senor Cardgage say some stuff
::''{Senor Cardgage is standing The Field near his bush}''
::'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Many Combolations, Elizagerth! ''{holds up a sign reading "combolations, elizagerth, and puts it back down, then produces a melty candybar from behind his back}'' I hope you get all my... particles.
::'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{off screen}'' Man, so cool!
**"100" to see The Strong Bad making a telegram. His "doppelgänger" or "copy" is present-day Strong Bad.
::''{The Strong Bad is standing next to a telegraph machine. Half of his moustache has been ripped off, and he is holding a envelope that looks like it contains the missing half of the moustache}''
::'''THE STRONG BAD:''' ''{operating the telegraph}'' Well done, my doppelgänger! Stop! By the time you read this telegramapostle, I'll be long dead! Stop! Therefore, I've enclosed half of my moustache therein. Stop! I bid you good tidings, and may you continue to flummox those less fortunate than you!
*Also, clicking in the 2 areas where the fireworks go off will bring you to two other shorts.
**The firework on the left takes you to a TV ad for [[Discount Flashback Warehouse]].
::''{cut to a nondescript living room with the Telebision. Strong Bad's face appears on it}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on down to Discount Flashback Warehouse.
::''{Discout Flashback Warehouse text appears, then disappears. Camera pans back so we can see Strong Bad's body}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' I've got this season. ''{gestures to the left, where a screen from "different town" appears}'' Last season. ''{gestures to the right where a screen from "band names" appears}'' Even stuff I've just made up! ''{The screenshots disappear and "just made up!!" appears as he says it}''
::''{Cuts to just his head again, next to text reading "These prices: $9 $6.53"}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' How can I make these prices any lower?
::''{cuts to Strong Bad standing beneath yellow text that reads "Discount Flashback Warehouse"}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' Just ask for me, the guy that works here ''{very quietly, trailing off}'' at the flashback place.
**The firework on the right shows you what became of the lifetime supply of fishsticks.
::''{cut to the field back in the flashback. The Prince of Town is standing near the broken-open egg}''
::'''THE PRINCE OF TOWN:''' Will no one claim this lifetime supply of fishsticks?

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The DVD commentary for this episode reveals several interesting facts - originally, it would have been animated in the normal style, and would have told a different story, until the Brothers Chaps decided to re-write it halfway through. Originally, story elements included Strong Bad wearing a star shirt, and Marzipan attempting to do something about Homestar's awful fashion sense (his duckie shirt, and also in this version, a pair of sandals). She gets him a star shirt, and Strong Bad rips his own shirt off in protest, which is why nowadays, Strong Bad never wears a shirt.
*The email was assigned the URL of "http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemailahundred.html," breaking the convention of the previous ninety-nine. This was done because of [[Not the 100th Email!!!]].
*Strong Bad ''actually'' says the word "E-mail" exactly 100 times.
**The Paper comes down during “e-mails” #28 through #30
**For #49 he distinctly says “e-MAIL-a”
**For #67 he quickly says “e-mail-mail-nahduhluh”
**For #72 he says “e-meh-meh-meh-meh-mail”
**"E-mails" #91 and #92 blend together so much that it sounds like “email--mail,” but if it was just one “e-mail” then there would only be 99, so it’s been accepted to be 2 separate “e-mails”
*This is the first time a character has mentioned [[Free Country, USA]].
*To date this has the most easter eggs in a toon at a huge eight.

===Remarks===
*It is debatable whether the story in the book really "happened", since Strong Bad could be making it up. Homestar verifies the tale, but this may just be typical, dense Homestar behavior.
*More proof that Strong Bad's boxing gloves are his hands; the small boxing gloves are referred to as his tiny hands.
*Strong Bad couldn't have lost count at email 51 because in email 91 the intro is "Coming in at number 91, its, EMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIL". However it's possible that he could have said number 91 by coincidence.
*During the ten-step footrace, Strong Bad made more than ten steps, although that wouldn't have affected the result of the race, for he would have lost/won the egg anyway.
*When [[The Cheat]] jumps out of the egg [[Strong Bad]] says "Awesome! My very own a the Cheat!" but the text says "My very own the cheat!"
*When the Compy said Strong Bad had answered 100 e-mails, that's not entirely true. He answered 2 in [[50 emails]], 2 more in [[2 emails]], and you could say he answered more than one in [[huttah!]] (although he didn't answer any in [[anything]] or [[mile]]). Depending on your definition of "answering" an email, he read extras in [[spring cleaning]] (although they were promptly deleted). So really, at the time of the hundredth e-mail, Strong Bad actually has answered more than 100 e-mails. That's also not counting the emails the [[Tandy 400]] answered.
===Glitches===
*While the Limozeen video is up, the links beneath it are still clickable.
===Inside References===
*Present in the flashback are [[Mr. Bland]] and [[Señor]], who haven't been seen since [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (toon)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]].
*Strong Bad first uses "grrl" (seen here as grrrl) in [[i she be]]. The word is also used in the [[Teen Girl Squad|Teen Girl Squad Mainpage]] and [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]].
*At the very beginning of the toon, the e-mail that Strong Bad starts to read (with the old Tandy 400-style text) before hitting the screen is the e-mail from [[some kinda robot]], the first-ever [[Strong Bad Email]].
*When he reads the Tandy e-mail, his accent is more like it is in the old cartoons (most notably, he pronounces "you" as "joo" a few times).
*Old style Marzipan, Strong Sad and Strong Mad refer to the concept sketches.
*Old style Coach Z and Bubs refer to "[[Where My Hat is At?]]"
*[[The Cheat]] mashing play on a jambox also happened in "[[Everybody Knows It]]".
*When Strong Bad gasps at the end of the e-mail, it is the same sound effect of the Dry Meal in [[20X6 vs. 1936]].
*The TV from the Discount Flashback Warehouse egg is from an old H*R.com main menu.
*The two e-mails in the Discount Flashback Warehouse egg are [[different town]] and [[band names]].
*When [[Senor Cardgage]]/[[Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad]] says "Many combolations, Elizagerth", it's a reference to the credits in [[japanese cartoon]].
*The Old-Timey Strong Bad has a sign in his telegram room that states Loafing Not Permitted, a reference to the No Loafing sign. This also appears in #50, [[50 emails]].
*[[The Strong Bad]] appearing with half a mustache was inspired by a waiter [[The Brothers Chaps]] once encountered who sported the same odd facial hair style.
*[[Strong Bad]] is heard saying "Man, so cool" in the [[Senor Cardgage]] easter egg. He said the same thing in the email "[[kind of cool]]".
*The Cheat's page in the [[Yearbook Character Page]] mentiones that his origins are uncertain. This seems to contradict the events in this email.

=== Real-World References ===
*The widescreen is a perfect 1.85:1 Academy aspect ratio.
*The guitar the guy is holding in the Limozeen egg is the same guitar that Homestar Runner steals in [[Puppet Time]], a Hammer "Bat" spin-off of the more popular Gibson Explorer shape. The bass the other guy is holding is a Fender Jazz-Bass.
*The melty candy bar Creepy Comb-Over Strong Bad/Senor Cardgage holds up near the end appears to be a Clark Bar, judging by its wrapper. Or perhaps a "ZAGNUT" due to the visible "G" in the center.

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

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*A loud voice booming "Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!" is the classic style of advertising used for monster truck rallies.
===Inside References===
*"Toons! Games! I'm gonna check my eeeemail...." is a reference to all the [[Main Pages]].
===Real-World References===
*The jumpsuit The Cheat is wearing is the same as the jumpsuit worn by the famous daredevil Evel Knievel during his famous motorcycle jumps.
*The bottles of maple syrup around the cardboard box are designed similarly to those of Mrs. Butterworth's, a famous syrup brand.
*The e-mail is signed 'Stan and Loretta', possibly a Monty Python reference (on the part of the sender). In the movie [[Wikipedia:Life of Brian|Life of Brian]], Eric Idle plays a man named Stan who wishes to be a woman, insisting that his friends call him Loretta.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww...that's very sweet. ''{typing}'' Look Dan and Linda, Strong Bad doesn't sell out to anybody, man. No matter how monstrous their truck show may or may not be.

''{Cut to the Poopsmith tossing out multicolored smoke bombs}''

''{The Poopsmith winks at the camera.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ADULT ADMISSION IS STILL JUST FIVE DOLLARS! KIDS AND OLD PEOPLE ''{The Halloween Kids and the King of Town appear on screen respectively crossed out}'' NOT ALLOWED WITHOUT A BUCKET OF FRIED CHICKEN FOR MEEEEE! ''{A bucket of KnF'nC chicken appears onscreen.}'' STICK AROUND AFTER THE SHOW FOR A FREE PERFORMANCE BY LIMOZEEN!

'''LIMOZEEN:''' ''{singing}'' I've got the heart of a lion and the wings of a bat, because it's midnite!

''{Cut back to the Compy 386 and Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Heart of a lion, wings of some stuff, because it's something! ''{stops singing}'' Oh-ho man, I love that song! ''{typing}'' I can't wait for this sunday sunday someday.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*A loud voice booming "Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!" is the classic style of advertising used for monster truck rallies.
===Inside References===
*"Toons! Games! I'm gonna check my eeeemail...." is a reference to all the [[Main Pages]].
===Real-World References===
*The jumpsuit The Cheat is wearing is the same as the jumpsuit worn by the famous daredevil Evel Knievel during his famous motorcycle jumps.
*The bottles of maple syrup around the cardboard box are designed similarly to those of Mrs. Butterworth's, a famous syrup brand.
*The e-mail is signed 'Stan and Loretta', possibly a Monty Python reference (on the part of the sender). In the movie [[Wikipedia:Life of Brian|Life of Brian]], Eric Idle plays a man named Stan who wishes to be a woman, insisting that his friends call him Loretta.
*The line "Let's do this like Brutus" is a reference to the Public Enemy song "Bring the Noise."
*The chicken bucket that says "KnF'nC" may be a reference to Guns 'n Roses' "Use Your Illusion" CD, in which a page in the liner notes says, "GnF'nR", and the fast food chain KFC.
