Main Page 23

2010-04-12T05:52:04Z

TheFunmachine: /* Remarks */ Updated

{{mainnav|23|22|24}}
[[Image:main page 23.PNG|220px|thumb|"Oh, check me out, it's the front of my head!"]]

Behind the set of a main page. Nearly everything is flipped around, since it's seen from the back, and ink marks where all the buttons are.

'''Cast (In order of appearance):''' {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Coach Z}}, {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|The Cheat}}, [[Homestar Runner]], {{Film|Strong Sad}}

'''Place:''' [[The Field]]

'''Icon:''' Plank of wood

'''Page title:''' "Backstage Pass!"

'''Date:''' September 19, 2005

==Button Effects==
*'''[[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons]]''' — Coach Z pops up with a [[clapperboard]] and says, "Main Page number twenny-tree, take one, airkshun!" Homestar delays saying "Toons" until after he's gone.
*'''[[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games]]''' — A piece of wood wiggles loose and falls off of the set, striking Homestar on the head. Homestar replies with "Oof!" It reappears where it was after a few seconds.
*'''[[Character Videos|Characters]]''' — On the first mouse-over, Strong Bad jumps up and says "Oh, check me out, it's the front of my head!" while facing away from the user. On the second mouse-over, Strong Bad jumps up and says "Oh, check me out, it's the back of my head!" while facing toward the user. Subsequent mouse-overs alternate between the two.
*'''[[Downloads]]''' — The Cheat falls in front of Homestar, facing him and the user, makes a few The Cheat noises and walks off.
*'''[[Store]]''' — Another Homestar walks in front of Homestar and says (in his modern voice) "'Sup, man?" Homestar replies (in the older voice that's still used for the main pages) "'Sup?" 
*'''[[Email]]''' — A piece of wood with the words "[[Wear a Bikini!]]" written on the back of it, presumably painted with Strong Sad's head on the opposite side, is pulled across the screen by two strings. From off screen Strong Sad holds up [[Strong Sad's Tape Player|his tape player]] into view and presses "Play," causing it to say (in Strong Sad's voice) "I'm the floating head of dooooom!"

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
* This is the second main page (after [[Main Page 12]]) where we see Homestar from behind.
* This is the second time the words are delayed, after [[Main Page 19]].

===Remarks===
*Unlike other Main Pages, all of the button rollover animations can be played overlapping at once.
*Coach Z says "action" while still holding up the clapperboard; he's still in the shot when Homestar delivers his line. Additionally, the director (or assistant director) who says "action" hardly ever slates the clapperboard.
*The support behind Homestar's head would be visible from the front, but doesn't show up on any of the other main pages.
*The reversed joke was only taken so far. As such, the Weeklies buttons are not truly flipped. It should go in this order, left to right: [[Random Toon]], [[Sketchbook]], [[Weekly Fanstuff]], then [[Quote of the Week]].
**Likewise, the numerical order of the home pages is not reversed, just right-justified.
*This is the only Main Page to refer to them as the compound word "homepages" instead of "home pages."
*This is another instance of [[duplicate characters]].
*Strong Bad's head bobs when the viewer cannot see his mouth, as is the case in most Strong Bad emails. Here, it bobs when he thinks the viewer can see his mouth (for the "front of my head" line) and doesn't when he thinks the viewer can't.
*Main Page 23 uses a [[HR:homepages_23.swf|special homepages file]] different from the [[HR:homepages.swf|main homepages file]]. When the main file is updated, the special file is often neglected:
**The copyright date read "2000-2005" well into 2007. It was updated on or around the time [[Main Page 24]] was added.
**The copyright date read "2000-2008", well into 2010. It was updated when [[Main Page 26]] was added.
**There was no link to [[Main Page 25]] until [[Main Page 26]] was released, where both links were added.

===Goofs===
* Although the part of the characters button where the "s" would be is partly sticking out, the characters buttons on other main pages don't stick out at all.
* The portions of the first three buttons that are sticking out of the wood are not clickable.
* The piece of wood that falls on Homestar's head falls from the back of the set, but Homestar is standing in front of it.
* At the end of the animation for Games the shadow of the wood at the top right briefly becomes larger

===Glitches===
[[Image:Real baby lady glitch.PNG|thumb|250px|Not great for baby.]]
* If you hold down the tab button on this menu, several hidden items become highlighted. You cannot click on them with your mouse, but you can select them by pressing enter. This is probably because the page is flipped, which highlights the links as if on a regular main page.
** To the left of the visible recent updates button is another recent updated button.
*** There is yet another recent updates button where the recent updates button normally is.
** There is another [[First Time Here?]] button on the left side located where the First Time Here? button normally is ''relative to'' the recent updates button.
*** There is yet another First Time Here? button off the right edge of where it normally is.
** The leftmost side of the Flash File has another set of Weeklies (Random, Quote, Sketchbook, Fan) buttons.
* If you scroll over "store" and then "downloads" right when the second Homestar gets to the middle, The Cheat falls behind Homestar even though perspective makes it look like Homestar is farther away.

===Expired Glitches===
* From March 16, 2006 and onwards, you were able to download [[disconnected|"Support the Municipality"]] desktop wallpaper via the Latest Updates bubble on the Main Pages. On this particular Main Page however, although you could have still clicked on the link, it wouldn't let you download the wallpaper.
**Similarly, the [[Main Page Message]] announcing the launch of [[Viidelectrix]] on January 28, 2007 was clickable, but did not pop up the message that should have been displayed.
**From July 2, 2007 to August 6th, 2007, the [[H*R.com updates 2007#Monday, July 2, 2007|baby lady message]] would be just a small black triangle in the top-left corner.
**This glitch was also present for the [[Wallpaper#Other Wallpaper|Trogdor desktop wallpaper]] update on January 14, 2008, the button for which being labeled "guest wallpaper".

Coach Z

2009-07-13T14:18:08Z

TheFunmachine: /* Coach Z's "more than two problems" */

{{charnav|Coach Z|cz|Marzipan|Bubs}}
[[Image:coach-z.png|thumb|right|200px|"I regret everything!"]]
{{about|main character}} {{for|[[Teen Girl Squad]] character|Olympic Man and Coach}}

==Biography==
'''Coach Z''' is the "[[Wikipedia:Coach (sport)|coach]]" of the residents of [[Free Country, USA]], though it is unclear exactly which sports he coaches. He has a strong [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] which is sometimes difficult for other characters to understand. While occasionally tiresome, he is always ready to offer encouragement and is rarely critical of anyone. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which has lost its meaning through time.

Coach Z wears a blue and purple baseball cap and a large gold Z emblem around his waist. Nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a visible nose and mouth]], but is able to talk, eat and spit with ease. He has long arms and large feet, but very short legs.

[[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]
As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been strongly implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In [[diorama]], Coach Z even refers to Marzipan as his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also has difficulty pronouncing certain words, such as "job" (as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon), instead pronouncing it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jorearb". In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit of [[butt-patting]]. Many characters see him as a nuisance. Even Homestar treated Coach Z with contempt in [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], quickly refusing to allow Coach Z to come to his house for [[Decemberween]].

When not working as a coach, Coach Z works with [[Homestar Runner]] and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]]. Coach Z is also the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]], suggesting that he may have a background in theatre. Despite his numerous jobs, Coach Z has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year.

[[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]
Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]). Although his usual rapping prowess consists mainly of "count[ing] to two over an over again," as explained in [[nightlife]], he once had a very successful career during his days in the [[Two-o Duo]].

[[Image:CoachZ3D.png|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]]
Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although this may simply be a product of Strong Bad's [[History According to Strong Bad|"doodle memory"]]). He is likely to be one of the older characters, since in [[caffiene]], Strong Sad's slaps provoke him to cry out "I'm just an old man!" and in [[slumber party]], Strong Bad refers to him, [[Bubs]], and [[The King of Town]] as "older kids."

Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] shows us; Bubs makes a "Coach Z, you jerk!" float for the parade, and Coach Z retaliates by saying "Serves him right, then" when [[Strong Mad]] steals [[Bubs Concession Stand|his concession stand]]. In the email [[narrator]], it was shown that they had made-up and returned to having boring conversations about [[Bubs's napkins]]. However, in [[Most In The Graveyard]], when it is implied that Coach Z fancies Bubs' sister, Bubs beats him up. In the same toon, it is also revealed that Coach Z and Bubs may actually be very distant cousins, although Bubs finds this hard to believe.

{{Character Video Transcript}}

==Coach Z's Accent==
The primary factor in his hilarity, Coach Z's Upper Midwestern accent has made him into a very quotable character.

===Sounds Affected===
The most commonly mispronounced sounds are long e (i.e. The Cheat) and the short o (job), which both come out as an "or" or "aer" ("The Chort", "jaerb").

===Inconsistencies===

Evidence has suggested that Coach Z's accent may be bogus:
*After saying "track or trort" in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], Bubs gets on his case and he says "trick or treat" correctly. If given "Swedish Fish," said as "Swordish Forsh," Bubs gets on his case again and Coach Z says "It's a crowd-pleaser."
*In [[boring (really)]], while Strong Bad is writing his list of three-letter words, Coach Z interrupts him at the word "job", saying that "jorb is a four letters word."
*Coach Z says "The Cheat" immediately after "The Chort" in [[mascot]], though he speaks as though he's talking about two different people.
*In the DVD commentary for [[part-time job]], [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] exploits Coach Z's "accent" by implying that not only does Coach Z add the letter R to words, but now also likes to switch letters around sometimes, and in reply Coach Z partially admits to his accent being bogus.
*In [[cliffhangers]], in the process of his attempted unmasking of [[The Thnikkaman]], he says "secret sorcret" twice, referring to Thnikkaman's secret being revealed and his shame in having really bad hand-eye coordination.
*In [[Loading Screens]], Coach Z's accent is much less pronounced than usual.

*[[A Jorb Well Done]]
*[[Coach Z Talker]]

*It was revealed in issue #21 of [[Wonkavision Magazine Interview|Wonkavision]] magazine that Coach Z is named after [[Craig Zobel]].

*Coach Z was originally known as "Coach Zee."
*Strong Bad referred to Coach Z as "Green Bubs" in the email [[road trip]].
*In [[Date Nite]] he is shown without his hat and wearing hair curlers, despite a lack of visible hair.
*On Coach Z's emblem, the darker blue shine streak under the gold Z makes a backwards Z formation.
*According to the [[Old Characters Page]], Coach Z wasn't much of a coach at the time, and he just added the title because it sounded "cooler than just Z". He has been seen coaching on numerous occasions since then, though his talent at it is still dubious at best.
*Coach Z is given a new display of angry eyes, as shown in [[Kick-A-Ball]] and [[hremail3184]].

Talk:Cheat Commandos: 2 Part Episode: Part 1

2009-06-03T11:33:26Z

TheFunmachine: /* 3 for 1 */

==Doppel or Toppel==
The transcript uses the actual word doppelganger, while the inside reference is to the Toppelgangers. Is the transcript wromg? -[[Special:Contributions/173.3.112.55|173.3.112.55]] 13:50, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
:I thought it sounded like "toppleganger" when I was transcribing it, but I'd forgotten about [[The Topplegangers]], so I figured I was just mishearing. But I wasn't, Toppleganger is right, and I've already fixed the transcript as soon as I saw the inside ref. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:57, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== Get back to work, guys. ==

I think Reynolds brother says "Get back to work, Charles." and don't we already know that Charles is Gunhaver's first name from [[let us give tanks]]? [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 14:06, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

: I've listened to it several times, and I believe this is true. I'm gonna change it. It also makes makes sense since Crackotage and Silent Rip are actually working [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 14:10, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
:: Sounds reasonable to me. Listening again, I hear "Charles" too. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 14:13, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== Does this mean... ==
...that next week there is gonna be another Cheat Commando's? [[User:MICGAGUH]]
: Given the [[retirement|last time]] we had a two-part toon? Might be tomorrow. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:41, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== white screen ==

<blockquote>A decompiler, a Flash Seek Bookmarklet, or the Greasemonkey script reveals a white screen before the TV Easter egg can be accessed.</blockquote>

I removed this from the ''Easter Eggs'' section, because that's certainly not the right place for it. I considered placing it elsewhere on the page, but decided not to because it doesn't seem that notable. The [[HRWiki:Standards]] as I interpret them, seems we don't mention such things unless they are clearly meant to be discovered and/or add something relevant to the cartoon (E.g. [[:Image:Dodongo.png|"Nice try, dodongo"]] and [[:Image:By strong bab age 5.PNG|—by Strong Bab]]). Just thought I'd mention my rationale here, if others feel that it really deserves a mention in the article, I don't have a strong opinion against that. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 19:56, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

:Definitely notable, but seemingly unintentional. Seems like a goof or a remark to me. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:21, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
::Things like this have been remarked before, such as the [[mile|dancing feet]] or the extra frames in [[Not the 100th Email!!!|Not the Hundredth E-mail]]. -[[User:MNGoldenEagle|MNGoldenEagle]] 21:34, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== Doorbell ==

Does anyone know the name of the "ditty" that the doorbell plays? I know that it is commonly used to depict a ringing doorbell, but I don't want to add it to the real-world references section without knowing the name. [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 21:50, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

:See [[wikipedia:Westminster Quarters]] (added a note under Remarks). {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 22:21, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

:: Why isn't this considered a Real-World Ref? [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 22:34, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

:::In my opinion, it belongs under Explanations because it's not referring to any specific clock (or doorbell). That tune is ''very'' commonly used for clocks and doorbells. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 22:38, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

::::But look at [[Donut Unto Others]]. A common tune was used in that toon as well, and that was put in Real World Refs. [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 22:50, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Yeah guys, that doorbell was totally awesome! It sounds familiar though. [[User:Fingerface|Fingerface]] 23:54, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== With a vengeance ==

The credits say this show was "written with a vengeance by A.Chimendez". We already know he and Crack Stuntman have creative differences and that Gunhaver was nearly written off the show because of it. Now, in this episode, Gunhaver is fired. Am I on to something? [[User:TJDevil02|TJDevil02]] 02:51, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

== All Ashore ==

*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admiral Admiral] is the highest rank in a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navy naval force], which makes it interesting that Flashfight takes charge of the Cheat Commandos, considering they're mostly ground-based forces.

::All of the contents of this cartoon suggest that the Cheat Commandos are administered by BE(E)FF, which is probably an international organization. The fact that Admiral Flashfight and Fightgar both seem to be British and Ripberger has an accent would jive with this, too. And, such an international organization could involve a collaboration among various armed services (Flashfight coming from a Navy, Crackotage coming from an Air Force?). Meh? [[User:Durniel|Durniel]] 06:55, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Is this worth pointing out somewhere? --[[User:President Cold One|President Cold One]] 09:28, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

: For shore (please don't make fun of that pun). --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 10:40, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

== 3 for 1 ==

The Cheat Commandos ththeme song goes "Cheat Commandos, maybe fighting for freedom, and each is sold separately. Cheat Commandos, they're probably battling evil. Buy all our playsets and toys!"
Is it notable that Green Helmts are 3-for-11, but their theme song says "each is sold separately." [[User:TheFunmachine|TheFunmachine]] 11:28, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
:I think it's notable that although the Green Helmets are part of a "discount three pack", they cost the same as any other CCdo. Although, come to think of it, three for the price of one is a bargain. {{User:Neox/sig}} 16:24, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
:: Don't forget, that the Green Helmet is analogous to a redshirt on the original Star Trek (i.e. expendable), so, naturally they'd be cheaper. [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 18:13, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Opps! Sorry. I meant 3 for 1, as in them not being sold separately, where the theme song says "each is sold separately" However, but they're Green Helmets, so maybe they're not like the rest. [[User:TheFunmachine|TheFunmachine]] 11:33, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

== Gasp! ==

For some reason, I can only hear Fightgar gasping during the scene when Flashfight fires people. Anyone else? -[[Special:Contributions/76.119.99.198|76.119.99.198]]

== Section? ==

I honestly don't know what section this one belongs in, but...
During the scene where Gunhaver, Silent Rip, and Crackotage are talking outside the headquarters, Gunhaver's face can be seen painted on the door, along with a word bubble reading, "Rock, rock on!"
... Actually, is this even notable enough to be put in?
:The best place for this information is in the transcript itself. Why not go ahead and add it there? {{User:The Chort/sig}} 14:24, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

== Extra Melty? ==

Isn't that a reference to the Meltymens? [[User:DJmankiewicz|DJmankiewicz]] 13:21, 2 June 2009 (CST)

It's an ambiguous/made up word, but Strong Bad specifies that it's short for legend. To spell it ledge is to convey a false meaning. "Lege" and "Leg' " would both work, but personally, I think "'''Leg'''" is best, just because that's the way Strong Bad spells it. I mean, he made up the word (or made up this use for it) which means it's up to him how he wants to spell it. There is no "correct" spelling for Leg as an abbreviation of Legend.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 10:46, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
:The first part of what Johnny Jupiter said are my thoughts exactly—It should not be spelled "Ledge" when Strong Bad says it because "Ledge" simply is not short for "Legend". "Leg" is what he's intending, but if we go that route we'll have to clarify it each time (not that that's a deal breaker). If we're gonna stick with a spelling that's pronounced correctly, "Lege" is best. It's short for "Legend", and it is already established in many circles as not only having the [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=Lege correct] [[Google:lege+site:www.statesman.com|pronunciation]] but also the [[Wiktionary:lege#Etymology_2|specific meaning]] that [http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=lege we're going for]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:30, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

*"The Ledge" is possibly a reference to The Edge, the guitarist of U2.

Why? Was there any evidence that pointed to The Edge? If not, this is too much of a stretch. --{{User:NevaDie/sig}} 12:45, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

:I agree. I'm no U2-ologist, but I see no connection to anything Strong Bad did in the cartoon that would be construed as parodying/satirizing/have anything to do with-ing the Edge. The only connection is that they rhyme. I suppose the Chap Bros just noticed that a shortened, nicknamed form of "legend" was the word "ledge", and got 79 seconds of comedy out of it.

== Operation ==

Water on the knee might be a reference to the board game Operation. First thing I thought of when Homestar said it was this old commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZAaHv_8xUk
: All of the ailments suffered by the Operation guy are jokes and puns. So both referring to the actual ailment in an overly literal way, though a different overly literal way. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 15:38, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Did anyone else feel that the overall animation felt different. It's hard to explain but the way the characters moved, stood, and sat seemed unique. Maybe it's the improved audio quality but SS's voice sounded deeper at times.

So... why are we spelling it Ledge? Strong Bad himself spells it "LEG" while I think "Lege" would be more appropriate since it's short for Legend.. so yeah guys, what the heck was this cartoon about? {{unsigned|75.73.70.113|22:08, 18 May 2009}}

:Yeah, I agree, but that still leaves us without a good option. (I also agree with whoever originally questioned the Ledge spelling.) Is "Lege" the best alternative?

::I think "ledge" really is the best spelling. The transcript ought to do as good a job as possible of reflecting the sounds we hear, and the sounds we hear in this case are exactly the same sound we hear in the word "ledge". The only other option I can think of would be something like "Lejj", but that just looks weird. "Leg" doesn't work; it's pretty much guaranteed to be misinterpreted, and "lege" is not much better in that respect. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:50, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
::::If we're going to vote on this, my vote's for "'''Ledge'''", because it has an immediately recognizable, standard pronunciation and doesn't require any uglying up the transcript with footnotes, which isn't something that can be said for any of the alternatives. [[User:Ingiald|Ingiald]] 15:43, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
:::::I don't understand why we shouldn't spell it "The Leg" or "The Leg'", as, not only do we have it spelt The Leg by TBC themselves, but it's not even pronounced "Ledge", as there is no "d", meaning that we have to spell it Leg ot Lege, and, thanks to the easter egg, we know it should be spelt Leg. We should spell it like that, then put a remark about how The Leg is pronouced ''like'' The Ledge. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 21:06, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
::::::Yes, TBC spell it as "Leg"... and then go on immediately to show us that this pronunciation is ambiguous. Using a footnote is a horrible idea; these should be used in transcripts only in cases where we cannot come to any consensus on what the word being spoken is. Otherwise they make the transcript really ugly. As for the "d" in "ledge", it is never pronounced, at least not in standard US English. The word is pronounced exactly as SB says it, which is why SS interprets it that way (as I did when I first heard it), saying "ledge of a cliff". {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:29, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
:::::::I compltely agree here with Heimstern. That is all I'm going to say about that.

::::::::Also agree. SB isn't known for his spelling ability. Ask 10 random people on the street, ask them to spell "ledge" for you, and I bet they'll all ask you to leave you alone. I mean, they'll spell it L-E-D-G-E. Or if you hold up a sign that says "The Leg" and ask people to pronounce it, 100% of the people will pronounce it like the body part. [[User:Stev0|Stev0]] 17:13, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
It's an ambiguous/made up word, but Strong Bad specifies that it's short for legend. To spell it ledge is to convey a false meaning. "Lege" and "Leg' " would both work, but personally, I think "'''Leg'''" is best, just because that's the way Strong Bad spells it. I mean, he made up the word (or made up this use for it) which means it's up to him how he wants to spell it. There is no "correct" spelling for Leg as an abbreviation of Legend.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 10:46, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

''{A "SPECIAL" logo appears on the screen and spins a few times as it zooms in. As this happens, it turns from blue to pink.}''

''{Cut to an auditorium that looks suspiciously like the one in the 1965 Peanuts Christmas special with Pom Pom and Homestar Runner on the sides of the stage. Strong Bad enters from stage right, strides to the middle of the stage, stops and faces front.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lights, please.

''{The lights dim and a spotlight shines on Strong Bad. The scene zooms in on him as the opening bars of the music begin to play.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' 
O holy crap 
And something, something, something 
Ah, there was this guy 
And he was probably born[[#Footnote|[1]]] 
They didn't know 
If he was really stupid 
:''{Off to the side, Homestar shows shock and budding anger.}'' 
But then they asked somebody And they said he ''{chuckles}'' was stupid 
:''{Homestar looks very angry.}'' 
He said, uh, that he was great 
And ev'body believed him 
That guy was ''{voice cracks}'' GREEAAAAA— 

''{Homestar Runner steps in front of Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, that's enough, Strong Bad.

''{Switch to close-up of Homestar Runner. As he speaks, the gang starts to congregate: Marzipan, Strong Mad, Pom Pom, and Strong Sad. In the background soft, slower, Christmas version of the Homestar Runner theme song plays.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, I think what Strong Bad is really trying to say is, "O Holy Crap." ''{gilt words appear on the screen with the sound of a harp and gold sparkles}'' Oh, no, wait, wait, wait.

''{Cut to wide shot; all of the main characters except Homsar have gathered.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I mean, "Happy Holidays" ''{words appear again}'' from all of us to all of you.

''{Close-up of Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And God bless us every— ''{Homestar Runner steps in front of him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{rushed}'' Sorry, Strong Sad, we're out of time here. Happy holidays everybody!! ''{A few moments pass. Homestar Runner blinks.}''

''{The End — Copyright 1965 Free Country USA}'' ''{"everybody, everybody" can be faintly heard sung by children, accompanied by bells}''

===Footnote===
# This word could also be "bored".

== Fun Facts ==

=== Remarks ===
*It should be noted that neither Decemberween nor Christmas are actually mentioned in this toon, except for the URL, which ends in "xmas.html".
*The "Back" link at the end of this toon always goes to [[Main Page 6]].
*After Homestar gives Strong Bad the look, when there is the cut back to the entire stage his expression is normal.
*After a while, the Decemberween Everybody song stops.

=== Goofs ===
*Strong Sad looks much shorter in this toon than he usually is.
*In the full stage shot with the words, "Happy Holidays," you can see a little bit of Coach Z's foot under the King of Town.
*When Strong Bad sings about the guy who was born there is a black dot to the right of his head.
*When Homestar gets angry, the skin above his "eyebrows" is a darker shade of grey than the rest.
*At the scene where the camera shows the right of Strong Bad, Homestar's head apears slightly shrunken into his neck.

=== Real-World References ===
*The entire toon is a reference to the 1965 ''[[IMDB:tt0059026|A Charlie Brown Christmas]]'' special.
**The spinning "Special" logo and music mimic one used by CBS from 1973 to the late 1980s, viewable [[YouTube:6W9V9SZPHAY|here]].
**In addition, the auditorium with the single spotlight, the "Copyright 1965 Free Country USA" at the ending screen, and Strong Bad saying "Lights, please," much the way Linus does, reveal the connection.
**The title of the page refers to [[Wikipedia:Dolly Madison|Dolly Madison]], the snack cake manufacturer that sponsored every Charlie Brown CBS special in the 1970s.

*"And God bless us every one!" is a quote from ''[http://www.amlit.com/chriscarol/chap1.html A Christmas Carol]'' by [[Wikipedia:Charles Dickens|Charles Dickens]].
*"Oh Holy Crap" is a play on the carol "[[Wikipedia: O Holy Night|O Holy Night]]."

=== Fast Forward ===
*The page title and the spinning SPECIAL logo at the beginning of this toon appear again in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]].
*The music from the "Special" logo is reused in [[The Luau]].
*The music at the end of this toon appears again in the [[Decemberween Email Menu]].
*The pose at the end of the toon appears in a wallpaper available in [[Downloads]].

== DVD Version ==
*The Special fanfare has been changed into a scat remix done by [[The Brothers Chaps]].
*When Strong Bad says, "Lights, please," his voice echoes.
*The "The End" card with the snow is gone.

== butt1 - and1 ==

The article currently lists "Butt1" as a reference to the b-ball apparel company "AND1". The reference seems a little tenuous to me. It seems to me that the only similarity is that they're both ___1 words. It could just as easily be a reference to Pier 1. I'm not to familiar with the AND1 company; is their logo or anything else similar to the Butt1 drink? Any comments? - [[User:Del Taco?|Del Taco?]] 13:56, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
: It might be seen as a play on words, using the homophones "but" and "butt".
: I don't think it's a reference to "and1" or "Pier One" or any other one... it's a play on the earlier mention of there being "BUT ONE flavor" of melonade.
::oh yea.. "but one flavor" makes much more sense. Though i get the "but1/and1" connection with them both being conjunctions, i think "but one flavor" makes more sense. - [[User:Del Taco?|Del Taco?]] 19:18, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

==Strong Bad is a liar==

Okay, let me finally clear this up. Strong Bad wouldn't mind showing he knows Homestar's email address in some SBemails, but in [[Email Thunder]], he is surprised. Or acting surprised. You see, getting an email show idea from Homestar is not cool, so Strong Bad would act surprised and even deny he thought Homestar had an email address, just to cover up this event that he had no control over. More to back this up is that he later lied by saying he doesn't know how to type with boxing gloves and Abdi, in the Homestar Runner universe, only emailed Strong Bad because The Cheat made him. My theory is that he'd also lie about where he got the email show idea (or an email address in general).

The characters are all drawn in much older styles, rather than their current ones. Is this worth mentioning?
:It is dated "Copyright 2001" at the beginning, and meant to take place before [[some kinda robot]], so the old art style would fit.

== Homestar's Voice ==

It seems to me that after Homestar's voice clears up, it's changed from his old voice to his modern one, suggesting that the content of the Melonade Throat Closers packet is responsible for that change. Or am I just crazy?

== Tandy email count ==

While there were 38 sbemail cartoons that had emails answered on the Tandy, [[spring cleaning]] featured five emails checked, which if counted individually, puts the email count at 43 (37 before it blew up in [[gimmicks]], though).

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Which e-mail is your favorite? Mine is "the basics". Shang-a-lang-a- ''{starts reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
I was wondering what you're doing 
for Labor Day. 
 
Your friend, 
Chrispy 
Schenectady, NY</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Woah! Is today Labor Day?! Well I'm certainly not gonna answer an email! I'ma take the day off. Wow. All of the sudden it's like the world is my ''{brief pause}'' place where I don't have to answer an email. Think I'll go sit on my cooler next to the stick and say stuff to people as they walk by. ''{stops typing}'' Now that's what I call the ol' Labor-Dabor.

''{Cut to Strong Bad sitting on top of his cooler next to The Stick. The cooler sports a handmade "labor dabor" sign. Enter Pom Pom with snack tray, bouncing along.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey Pom Pom, man, it's Labor Day. Why don't you get a life?

''{Pom Pom makes bubbling noises and exits.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That guy needs to get a life for real. Like me! I got a great life! Chillin' with my cooler at The Stick, sayin' stuff to people.

''{The Poopsmith enters with jar of BROWN MAYO.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nice stench there, buddy. Smellin' ''real'' nice. I give you an A+ on smell. Or rather, you get an A+ on smellin' like crap. And a solid F- on smellin' any good.

''{Poopsmith exits.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That guy doesn't smell ''any'' good.

''{Coach Z enters with a six pack of which only one can of Coldson Lite remains.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And if it isn't Coach Z. Good ol'... green Coach Z. Hey, I always wondered, is your skin green or are you wearing a green body suit? Y'know with footies and sockies.

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, I got footies alright — athlete's footies!

''{Coach Z exits, The King of Town enters.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, the self-proclaimed King of Town. Like ''you'' aren't an easy target for my witty jabs and clever put-downs. Whatever will I say?

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Do you have anything relatively edible in that cooler?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No. You're fat. High-five, The Stick!

''{Strong Bad [[high fives]] The Stick, causing a piece to break off.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Sorry, The Stick.

''{King of Town exits, Strong Mad and The Cheat enter with a pair of badminton racquets.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! The two guys. Strong Mad and The Cheat. The guys in which one of them is really big and the other is really small. Nice contrast, there, guys! ... That's all I got.

''{Strong Mad and The Cheat exit.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, this is shaping up to be one heck of a Labor-Dabor. Hey, The Stick, you want a burger?

''{Cut to Labor Day party tableau with the whole gang except Strong Bad and Homsar -- Homestar Runner's "[[Everybody Knows It]]" is playing in the background.}''

'''BUBS:''' This here's the best Labor Day BBQ I ever been BB-to.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I wonder why?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Has anyone seen Strong Bad? I sent him an invitation.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Maybe it got "da-leet-ed".

''{Strong Sad smiles ever so slightly. Everybody else laughs.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's a good one Strong Sad.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{laughing}'' Oh, gee, life of the pratty.

'''BUBS:''' Three cheers for Strong Sad!

''{Cut to Strong Bad laying on the cooler next to The Stick, which has a burger stuck on top of it. The broken-off part of The Stick is sticking out of the top of the burger.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, The Stick, how's your burger? Sorry about that high-five thing. ''{mumbles something}'' I'm gonna go check my e-mail.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Which e-mail is your favorite? Mine is "the basics". Shang-a-lang-a- ''{starts reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
I was wondering what you're doing 
for Labor Day. 
 
Your friend, 
Chrispy 
Schenectady, NY</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Woah! Is today Labor Day?! Well I'm certainly not gonna answer an email! I'ma take the day off. Wow. All of the sudden it's like the world is my ''{brief pause}'' place where I don't have to answer an email. Think I'll go sit on my cooler next to the stick and say stuff to people as they walk by. ''{stops typing}'' Now that's what I call the ol' Labor-Dabor.

''{Cut to Strong Bad sitting on top of his cooler next to The Stick. The cooler sports a handmade "labor dabor" sign. Enter Pom Pom with snack tray, bouncing along.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey Pom Pom, man, it's Labor Day. Why don't you get a life?

''{Pom Pom makes bubbling noises and exits.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That guy needs to get a life for real. Like me! I got a great life! Chillin' with my cooler at The Stick, sayin' stuff to people.

''{The Poopsmith enters with jar of BROWN MAYO.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nice stench there, buddy. Smellin' ''real'' nice. I give you an A+ on smell. Or rather, you get an A+ on smellin' like crap. And a solid F- on smellin' any good.

''{Poopsmith exits.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That guy doesn't smell ''any'' good.

''{Coach Z enters with a six pack of which only one can of Coldson Lite remains.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And if it isn't Coach Z. Good ol'... green Coach Z. Hey, I always wondered, is your skin green or are you wearing a green body suit? Y'know with footies and sockies.

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, I got footies alright — athlete's footies!

''{Coach Z exits, The King of Town enters.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, the self-proclaimed King of Town. Like ''you'' aren't an easy target for my witty jabs and clever put-downs. Whatever will I say?

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Do you have anything relatively edible in that cooler?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No. You're fat. High-five, The Stick!

''{Strong Bad [[high fives]] The Stick, causing a piece to break off.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Sorry, The Stick.

''{King of Town exits, Strong Mad and The Cheat enter with a pair of badminton racquets.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! The two guys. Strong Mad and The Cheat. The guys in which one of them is really big and the other is really small. Nice contrast, there, guys! ... That's all I got.

''{Strong Mad and The Cheat exit.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, this is shaping up to be one heck of a Labor-Dabor. Hey, The Stick, you want a burger?

''{Cut to Labor Day party tableau with the whole gang except Strong Bad and Homsar -- Homestar Runner's "[[Everybody Knows It]]" is playing in the background.}''

'''BUBS:''' This here's the best Labor Day BBQ I ever been BB-to.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I wonder why?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Has anyone seen Strong Bad? I sent him an invitation.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Maybe it got "da-leet-ed".

''{Strong Sad smiles ever so slightly. Everybody else laughs.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's a good one Strong Sad.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{laughing}'' Oh, gee, life of the pratty.

'''BUBS:''' Three cheers for Strong Sad!

''{Cut to Strong Bad laying on the cooler next to The Stick, which has a burger stuck on top of it. The broken-off part of The Stick is sticking out of the top of the burger.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, The Stick, how's your burger? Sorry about that high-five thing. ''{mumbles something}'' I'm gonna go check my e-mail.

*[[Jibblies 2]] — [[Homestar]] believes [[Marzipan]] is shimmying and shaking and talking about giblets, when in reality she has the [[jibblies]]. The King of Town makes a similar mistake, and demands he get this "giblet flu" as he thinks it sounds delicious. At the end of the toon, Homestar asks the [[Horrible Painting]] that is keeping him captive to let him go on the grounds of her making him some giblets.
*[[Strong Badia the Free]] — [[Bubs]] says the King of Town buys all of his shadily aquired organs, but refers to them as "giblets".

{{aboutcharacter}} {{fortoon|The King of Town DVD}} {{for|[[Decemberween]] character|The King of Town (Decemberween)}}

== Biography ==
'''The King of Town''' (middle name being [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 15.2#Message 6|Wad]]), self-nicknamed the "KOT", is the de jure ruler of [[Free Country, USA]] (though [[labor day]] suggests that his title is self-proclaimed). However, nobody wishes to acknowledge this; it's therefore possible that this character is a satire on the obsolescence of monarchy. His head is completely white, with black lines for eyes, a [[mustache]] and a beard (though it was suggested in [[diorama]] that the white is fur or hair, as he has pink flesh underneath). He wears a gold crown and what appears to be a red robe with white trim with [[Lack of Visible Arms|no arms]]. He has been seen in different attire resembling a striped one-piece swimming suit when swimming ([[keep cool]]) and in Strong Bad's amazing feats of wonder ([[retirement]]). When in this suit, it suggests that he has this white fur/hair all over his body.

One of his main problems is that he is a glutton and will eat anything in front of him (except [[peas]] and [[The Cheat]]; he had a long-standing aversion to [[whatsit]] which finally ended in [[fan club]]). His favorite food is [[butter]]. As a result of his unhealthy eating habits, he has many, sometimes serious, health problems, as it is the norm for him to have several heart attacks after eating. According to the [[record book]], he is the "least healthiest (man?)". As revealed in the sbemail [[pizza joint]], he spends most of his day calling random numbers in hopes of finding a new restaurant, and has found [[The Pizz]] as a result.

[[Image:3dkot.png|thumb|140px|Do I smell 3D?]]

He employs [[The Poopsmith]] (for personal reasons) and a [[:Category:King's Servants|few other characters]]. Like [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]], [[Homsar]], and [[Marzipan]], he also has no [[Lack of Visible Arms|visible arms]], but can handle things as though he does. His age is known to be somewhere in his 60s. He also leads the [[K.O.T.H.S. Junior Varsity Marching Band]] during the [[Fall Float Parade]]. According to a message he left on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2|Marzipan's answering machine]] and on Strong Bad's answering machine in [[Lappynapped!]], he can play the guitar, and was finally seen doing so in [[Baddest of the Bands]]. Along with [[The Cheat]], he has cut a remix demo called "Not Talkin' About Butter". He also has his very own "[[KOT's VOQPCS!|quite popular cartoon show]]" which, although it was pre-empted in favor of a [[Strong Bad Email]] in [[senior prom]], was shown some time later. He is also an authorized [[Wikipedia: Godzilla|Godzilla]] reseller as seen in [[TrogdorCon '97]].

It has become unclear whether The King of Town has royal ancestors from whom he inherited the official honor of "king", or if his title is self-imposed and he simply purchased his crown from the "Costume Palace" (as could be interpreted from his character video). In [[original]], [[Strong Bad]] claims that "there've been like twelve King of Towns". An Easter egg at the end of the email shows graves for 11 Kings of Town (including one known as "Onion King of Town"), although it is unknown if this is real or imaginary. [[Marzipan]] and [[Bubs]] both claim that [[Strong Bad]] was lying about [[Original Bubs]], so it seems likely that he was lying about there being other Kings of Town as well.

Although the King of Town wears his crown most of the time, it has been stolen by Strong Bad and The Cheat in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]]. It has also been worn by Strong Bad when he was on a "regal [[rampage]]", by [[Coach Z]] in [[Where's The Cheat?]], by [[The Cheat]] in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], and by [[Strong Bad]] in [[Strong Badia the Free]] .

The King of Town can be heard [[The King of Town Booing|booing]] from time to time, even at himself.

In [[Play Date]] it is implied that the King of Town has been married to a bowl of [[Wikipedia:Brunswick stew|Brunswick stew]] for fifty years, referred to by the King of Town as the "dollop of sour cream" anniversary.

''{'''Page Title''': Go Go Cookie Dough!!}'' ''{'''Place:''' [[King of Town's Castle]]}''

''{The King of Town is standing outside next to his castle. One of his sheep stands behind him.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN''': Hello, my loyal subjects. I am the King of Town. Please remain standing while I finish my speech and consume the contents of this bowl. ''{holds up a bowl momentarily}'' Now, despite rumors to the contrary, I did not just buy a crown at the costume palace and ask people to start calling me the King of Town. I earned my title the same way I earned a free combo meal: by purchasing one of equal or lesser value. I also did not ever try to eat my own mustache. I live in yon castle ''{gives a nod to his castle}'', and employ a Poopsmith for reasons I don't care to disclose. And furthermore, now I'm going to eat this bowl of corn dog batter. ''{picks up a bowl of corn dog batter and begins to eat it}''

== Fun Facts ==
* An [[Old Characters Page]] claimed he was [[Marzipan]]'s father, but [[The Brothers Chaps]] have said they dropped this idea early on. "That was just something that we just toyed around with there briefly, but then decided that's not the way we wanted it to go. We just put that up, but most people don't visit the [[Museum]], so hopefully it doesn't cause too much mass confusion." — [[Matt Chapman]]
* At the end of the clip, the sheep continues chewing, even though [[the VCR]] is paused. This is because the sheep was created as a movie clip, which animates independently of the main timeline in [[Flash]].
*The King claims he got his title (and a value meal) by purchasing one of equal or lesser value. Typically one would ''earn'' an item of equal or lesser value by purchasing a different item.
*According to [[A Decemberween Pageant]], a [[The King of Town (Decemberween)|King of Town]] was involved in the discovery of the first [[Decemberween]]. It is not clear, however, whether that King of Town and the current one are the same individual.
*He was once slim and trim, but according to [[flashback]], may have gotten his weight from the lifetime supply of fishsticks because nobody else would claim them.
*Apparently, the King of Town has a ham for a heart, as shown in [[Halloween Fairstival]].
*When playing the game [[Kid Speedy]] in KOT mode, the King of Town appears to gain energy by eating junk food and [[swear]] words. Although he has exhibited his love of unhealthy food on many occasions, his predilection for foul language is otherwise unknown.
*The King of Town once purchased the [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] from [[Bubs]], but was unable to make it run in order to check his emails. He claimed it was "the last time he'll buy a used computer from Bubs". His email address is currently invalid. He also has had an answering machine that claims that he "has no messages...ever", that he has "no friends", and that "nobody likes" him.
*He may have German heritage, due to the fact that his Old-Timey variation is German and he wears a pickelhaube in [[Ever and More!]].
*Though he claims he lives in "yon castle", [[Strong Bad]] claims in the [[The King of Town DVD Commentary|commentary]] to [[The King Of Town DVD]] that he actually lives in a run-down two-bedroom home next door to him.
*In the short, [[Donut Unto Others]], it is shown that the king of town possesses powers of teleportation (or at least ninja smoke-bombs).

Homestar Runner's House

2009-04-21T02:17:19Z

TheFunmachine: Added Info

'''[[Homestar Runner]]'s House''', in [[The Reddest Radish]] and [[In Search of the Yello Dello|In Search of the Yello Dello]], is a cartoonish red hut with white spots; yet in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]], [[Homestar Presents: Presents]], the email [[rampage]], and in the short [[Play Date]], his house is a normal suburban house with yellow siding, bearing a striking resemblance to the [[Peanuts]] kids' houses. Unless he's moved (or has more than one house), what the outside of Homestar's house really looks like remains a mystery, but it seems that the more logical choice would be his normal house with siding, as his "In Search Of The Yello Dello" home and his "The Reddest Radish" home both were made a while back. It may be that he simply moved to the new house first seen in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]]. Regardless, it doesn't seem to matter to him where he lives, as he spends an astonishing amount of time in both [[House of the Brothers Strong|Strong Bad's]] and [[Marzipan's House|Marzipan's]] homes. In [[flashback]], he even comments that he thinks he lives in the Brothers' Strong's house.

Image:Outside_Homestars_House.PNG|Homestar's normal house</gallery>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>

==Interior==
The inside of his house was first seen in the email [[caper]], when [[Strong Bad]] and [[The Cheat]] broke into it. It has since been seen in [[radio]], [[garage sale]], [[Homestar Presents: Presents]], [[slumber party]], and [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]]. The interior of Homestar's house has green walls and [[Hanging Objects#Homestar Runner's House|pictures of himself through the years]]. Homestar's white table with the sliding doors is similar to one sold by [[Wikipedia:IKEA|IKEA]]. It also has a [[cow lamp]] which The Cheat broke in [[caper]]. It was repaired and seen again in [[radio]], but Homestar broke it again after The Cheat tried to steal it in [[garage sale]].

Homestar's bedroom, first seen in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]], has maroon walls, a window, Homestar's bed (bare box spring only), and an alarm clock/radio labeled "[[Homestar's Clock]]" on a dresser. Homestar's room is on the second floor.

Homestar watches [[Tee Bee|television]] in his TV room, where the [[TV Time Toons Menu]] is located. He also keeps his TV stand (where his tapes are kept) and sofa here. He sometimes invites Strong Bad over to watch TV with him, an invitation that Strong Bad usually accepts (probably because Homestar has the better TV). Homestar seemed to relocate his television to the shelf in his living room in [[environment]].

Homestar also has a bathroom which has a shower in it (seen on [[Main Page 14]]).

Homestar may have his own computer room, but since it's shown to have the same green walls and wooden floor as his living room, it's possible that it's located in a different part of the living room (seen in [[email thunder]]). This is where Homestar would check Hremails before Strong Bad drenched his [[Happy 8600]] with [[Mountain Dew]].

Homestar now seems to have a new room for checking [[Hremails]], since Strong Bad ruined Homestar's computer. It has a desk reading "This Guy!" and an arrow, and usually has a mug on it, which may have soup and/or coffee. Homestar sits at this desk to check Hremails, reading them off of a printed sheet of paper, with his [[Arturo 9000]], a microfiche reader, providing visuals. The room has a similar paint job of the [[Basement of the Brothers Strong]]. The room was first seen in [[Hremail 62]].

== Transcript ==
''{Open on Strong Mad and Strong Bad sitting on the couch in the basement.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' He said ''he'' thought paunchberry sounded like a ''disgusting'' ice cream flavor. But ''I'' beg to differ.

'''STRONG MAD:''' I THOUGHT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT MOTORCYCLES!

''{Strong Mad pulls out a bike made of wieners and tomato slices; cut to a close-up of the bike and then back to the two on the couch. The Cheat enters screen right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, we probably were. Hey, The Cheat!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{upbeat The Cheat noises, then hums a tune}''

''{The Cheat exits screen left}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, that The Cheat. ''{bass line starts in the background}'' It's like, what is he doing, you know? I mean, where's he goin' to?

''{Cut to The Cheat going down the stairs outside the house.}''

'''SINGER:''' The Cheat, where you goin' to? 
:: And once you get there, whatchu think you gonna do? 
:: Checking up on a mattress fire 
:: That you started couple days ago. 
:: Singin' baritone in Marzipan's choir 
:: (But please don't let Strong Bad know) 
:: Nobody knows...

''{Zoom out on a slate that reads "Marzipan's not-dumb choir" to reveal Marzipan entering from screen right, wearing a robe and a book marked "HIMS". The Cheat and Cardboard Homestar are similarly dressed on screen left.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' This part's in D.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{tries to sing, but sounds more like a growl; Cardboard Homestar's head moves}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ooh, that's not D.

''{close-up of The Cheat}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{sings again, higher pitch}''

''{Cut back to two-shot.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' How about C?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{even higher, angry The Cheat noises}''

''{The Cheat throws the book, knocking down Cardboard Homestar. Marzipan looks scared. The Cheat removes his robe.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ehh, close enough.

''{Marzipan starts singing along with the singer.}''

'''SINGER and MARZIPAN:''' The Cheat, where you goin' to?

''{The Cheat exits behind Marzipan screen right. Cut to a shot of Homestar walking in the field.}''

'''SINGER and HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And once you get there, whatchu think you gonna do?

'''SINGER:''' Hitchin' a ride on Homestar's leg 
::Stealin' all his melonade

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT STRONG BAD:''' —and make the best cartoon that's ever been made!

''{Full-screen scene of a Powered by The Cheat Bubs' Concession Stand, marked "dub's C"; The Cheat starts singing backup.}''

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT COACH Z:''' Hey there, Bubs in the store. Paunchberry's was a new ice cream!

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT BUBS:''' I can't even reach the top.

''{Bubs waves towards a stack of ice cream containers that reaches into the sky. Cut to The Cheat, wearing a shirt that reads "Paunch", Strong Mad, smiling and the word "Berry" on his singlet, and Strong Bad, "icéd cream" written on him, dancing in front of a wall of ice cream containers}''

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT COACH Z:''' Hey, it's the paunchberry ice cream dancing team.

''{The Cheat stops singing.}''

'''SINGER:''' The Cheat—

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' Viral.

''{Cut back to regular action; The Cheat walks along the top of the brick wall and then flies off the end with a dashed path trailing him.}''

'''SINGER:''' —where you goin' to? 
::And once you get there, whatchu think you gonna do? 
::Headin' down to the gymnasium 
::Gonna do some lay-up drills 
::I'm not sure if that's something you would normally do 
::But you should brush up on your basketball skills

'''SINGER:''' ''{softly}'' No lay-up drills?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry The Cheat noise}''

''{The Cheat moves his arm, the scoreboard falls, and the room gets darker.}''

'''SINGER:''' Flaming lay-up drills?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{excited The Cheat noise}''

'''SINGER:''' The Cheat likes flaming lay-up drills 
::I'm glad we compromised with flaming lay-up drills 
::Ah, f'rllz, oh tell me what's the dealz 
::You got the wills, the skills, the flaming lay-up drills 
::The Cheat, where you goin' to? 
::And once you get there, whatchu think you gonna do? 
::The Cheat, whatchu gonna did 
::The day is done so won'tchu close that barbecue... lid

''{The Cheat hops onto the King of Town's barbecue grill and closes the lid. Cut back to Strong Bad and Strong Mad in the basement.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunno. Maybe he's just going to the ATM machine.

'''STRONG MAD:''' THAT'S REDUNDANT!

''{A card comes down that reads "end" with "ATM machine = automatic teller machine machine" written underneath.}''

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
* The phrase "ATM machine" is an example of [[Wikipedia:RAS syndrome|RAS syndrome]]. The "M" already stands for "machine".
* The word "VIRAL" flashing on the screen at the end of The Cheat's cartoon refers to [[Wikipedia:Viral video|viral video]], an online video that gets quick widespread popularity.

=== Trivia ===
* When Marzipan says "This part's in D", the song is in the key of E major (while most of the song is in E minor). Likewise, the first two notes The Cheat sings for her are E's.
* The Cheat walks into a gym named "[[portmanteaus|Gymatorium]]" as the singer says Gymnasium.

=== Remarks ===
*Although it is suggested that The Cheat is exiting the [[House of the Brothers Strong]] at the beginning of the song, the house he is actually seen walking out of is usually depicted as being [[Homestar Runner's House]].
*The Cheat has been given a new walking animation in this toon.
*In [[SBCG4AP]], the brick wall is nowhere near the House of the Brothers Strong (or Homestar's house, for that matter).

=== Inside References ===
*The Cheat is seen [[flying]] and [[The Cheat Smiling|smiling]] at the same time.
*The Cheat's animation advertises paunchberry [[ice cream]].
*The Ice cream containers read icéd cream, which is similar to [[-èd]].
*Marzipan's choir books read "HIMS", a [[homophone]] for the more appropriate "Hymns". This spelling also appeared in [[Happy Dethemberween]].
*The Cheat steals Homestar's [[Melonade]].
*The Cheat lights the rim of the [[basketball]] hoop with the [[BMW lighter]].
*This short begins with an [[interrupted conversation]].
*A [[Limozeen]] flyer can be seen on the telephone pole.
*Marzipan's board says "Marzipan's [[Not X|Not]]-Dumb Choir".
*The bulging stomach seen on the ice cream containers in The Cheat's cartoon resembles one partially seen in [[your funeral]].
*The phrase "whatchu gonna did?" comes from Homestar's speech as the Jack 'Em Up Kid in [[yes, wrestling]].
*The "i" in "LOADiNG" is [[Lowercase i's|lowercase]].

===Real-World References===
*Strong Mad's confusion about motorcycles in a conversation about Paunchberry ice cream is a reference to the '70s TV series [[Wikipedia:CHiPs|CHiPs]]. Francis 'Ponch' Poncherello played by [[Wikipedia:Erik Estrada|Erik Estrada]] was a main character on the series about the adventures of two California Highway Patrol motorcycle officers.
*The song is strongly reminiscent of "Little Birdie" from the [[Peanuts]] special [[Wikipedia:A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving|''A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving'']].
**The erratic path and trailing dotted line when The Cheat flies off of the brick wall is reminiscent of Peanuts character [[Wikipedia:Woodstock (Peanuts)|Woodstock]].

Ice Cream

2009-04-20T11:29:45Z

TheFunmachine: Fixed Info

[[Image:homestar_ice_cream.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Super Sugar Taste!]]
[[Wikipedia:Ice cream|Ice cream]] isn't just a yummy treat. It is a yummy treat enjoyed by the characters of the [[Homestar Runner universe]].

==Appearances==

'''Page Title:''' Tomatocycle Season 1 on DVD!

== Transcript ==
''{Open on Strong Mad and Strong Bad sitting on the couch in the basement.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' He said ''he'' thought paunchberry sounded like a ''disgusting'' ice cream flavor. But ''I'' beg to differ.

'''STRONG MAD:''' I THOUGHT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT MOTORCYCLES!

''{Strong Mad pulls out a bike made of wieners and tomato slices; cut to a close-up of the bike and then back to the two on the couch. The Cheat enters screen right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, we probably were. Hey, The Cheat!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Cheat noises, humming a tune}''

''{The Cheat exits screen left}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, that The Cheat. ''{bass line starts in the background}'' It's like, what is he doin', you know? I mean, where's he goin' to?

''{Cut to The Cheat going down the stairs outside the house.}''

'''SINGER:''' The Cheat, where you goin' to? 
:: And once you get there, whatchu think you gonna do? 
:: Checkin' up on a mattress fire 
:: That you started couple days ago. 
:: Singing baritone in Marzipan's choir 
:: (But please don't let Strong Bad know) 
:: Nobody knows...

''{Zoom out on a slate that reads "Marzipan's not-dumb choir" to reveal Marzipan entering from screen right, wearing a robe and a book marked "HIMS". The Cheat and Cardboard Homestar are similarly dressed on screen left.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' This part's in D.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{tries to sing, but sounds more like a growl; Cardboard Homestar's head moves}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ooh, that's not D.

''{close-up of The Cheat}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{sings again, higher pitch}''

''{Cut back to two-shot.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' How about C?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{even higher, angry The Cheat noises}''

''{The Cheat throws the book, knocking down Cardboard Homestar. Marzipan looks scared. The Cheat removes his robe.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ehh, close enough.

''{Marzipan starts singing along with the singer.}''

'''SINGER and MARZIPAN:''' The Cheat, where you goin' to?

''{The Cheat exits behind Marzipan screen right. Cut to a shot of Homestar walking in the field.}''

'''SINGER and HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And once you get there, whatchu think you gonna do?

'''SINGER:''' Hitchin' a ride on Homestar's leg 
::Stealin' all his melonade

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey!

'''SINGER:''' Get a freelance animation job—

''{Powered By The Cheat, on [[Monosodium Dreams]]:}''

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT STRONG BAD:''' —and make the best cartoon that's ever been made!

''{Full-screen scene of a Powered by The Cheat Bubs' Concession Stand, marked "dub's C"; The Cheat starts singing backup.}''

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT COACH Z:''' Hey there, Bubs in the store. Paunchberry's was a new ice cream!

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT BUBS:''' I can't even reach the top.

''{Bubs waves towards a stack of ice cream containers that reaches into the sky. Cut to The Cheat, wearing a shirt that reads "Paunch", Strong Mad, smiling and the word "Berry" on his singlet, and Strong Bad, "icéd cream" written on him, dancing in front of a wall of ice cream containers}''

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT COACH Z:''' Hey, it's the paunchberry ice cream dancing team.

''{The Cheat stops singing.}''

'''SINGER:''' The Cheat—

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' Viral.

''{Cut back to regular action; The Cheat walks along the top of the brick wall and then flies off the end with a dashed path trailing him.}''

'''SINGER:''' —where you goin' to? 
::And once you get there, whatchu think you gonna do? 
::Headin' down to the gymnasium 
::Gonna do some lay-up drills 
::I'm not sure if that's something you would normally do 
::But you should brush up on your basketball skills
::With some lay-up drills
::Lay-up drills

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry The Cheat noise}''

'''SINGER:''' ''{softly}'' No lay-up drills?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry The Cheat noise}''

''{The Cheat moves his arm, the scoreboard falls, and the room gets darker.}''

'''SINGER:''' Flaming lay-up drills?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{excited The Cheat noise}''

'''SINGER:''' The Cheat, likes flaming lay-up drills 
::I'm glad we compromised with flaming lay-up drills 
::F'rllz, tell me what the dealz 
::You got the wills and skills for flaming lay-up drills 
::The Cheat, where you goin' to? 
::And once you get there, whatchu think you gonna do? 
::The Cheat, whatchu gonna did 
::The day is done so won'tchu close that barbecue... lid

''{The Cheat hops onto the King of Town's barbecue grill and closes the lid. Cut back to Strong Bad and Strong Mad in the basement.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunno. Maybe he's just going to the ATM machine.

'''STRONG MAD:''' THAT'S REDUNDANT!

''{A card comes down that reads "end" with "ATM machine = automatic teller machine machine" written underneath.}''

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
* The phrase "ATM machine" is an example of [[Wikipedia:RAS syndrome|RAS syndrome]]. The "M" already stands for "machine".
* The word "VIRAL" flashing on the screen at the end of The Cheat's cartoon refers to [[Wikipedia:Viral video|viral video]], an online video that gets quick widespread popularity.

=== Trivia ===
* This toon was released the evening of April 19, but the date on the main page reads April 20.
* When Marzipan says "This part's in D", the song is in the key of E major (while most of the song is in E minor). Likewise, the first two notes The Cheat sings for her are E's.

=== Remarks ===
*Although it is suggested that The Cheat is exiting the [[House of the Brothers Strong]] at the beginning of the song, the house he is actually seen walking out of is usually depicted as being [[Homestar Runner's House]].
**However, it is the House of the Brothers Strong in [[SBCG4AP]].
*There is no "Again" button at the end of this toon.

=== Inside References ===
*The Cheat is seen [[flying]] and [[The Cheat Smiling|smiling]] at the same time.
*The [[ATM]] is mentioned.
*The Cheat's animation advertises paunchberry [[ice cream]].
*The Cheat is in the choir with [[Cardboard Homestar]].
*The Ice cream containers read icèd cream, another instance of [[-èd]] pronunciation.
*Marzipan's choir books read "HIMS", a [[homophone]] for the more appropriate "Hymns". This spelling also appeared in [[Happy Dethemberween]].
*The Cheat steals Homestar's [[Melonade]].
*The Cheat lights the rim of the basketball hoop with the [[BMW lighter]].
*This short begins with an [[interrupted conversation]].
*A [[Limozeen]] flyer can be seen on the telephone pole.
*[[Duplicate Characters|Duplicate The Cheats]] are seen in the lay-up drills scene.
*Marzipan's board says "Marzipan's [[Not]]-Dumb Choir".
*The bulging stomach seen on the ice cream containers in The Cheat's cartoon resembles one partially seen in [[your funeral]].

===Real World References===
*The song is strongly reminiscent of "Little Birdie" from the [[Peanuts]] special [[Wikipedia:A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving|''A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving'']].
**The erratic path and trailing dotted line when The Cheat flies off of the brick wall is reminiscent of Peanuts character [[Wikipedia:Woodstock (Peanuts)|Woodstock]].

Pulse Interview - 1 Aug 2003

2009-04-16T20:15:00Z

TheFunmachine: Fixed Grammer Error

[[Image:G4techTV Interview.jpg|thumb|"My luscious abs have been here waiting..."]]
On August 1, 2003, [[The Brothers Chaps]] and [[Missy Palmer]] appeared on [[Wikipedia:G4TechTV|G4TechTV]] on the (now canceled) television program "Pulse".

==Transcript==

''{The opening clip from [[First Time Here?]] begins to play}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hello! I'm Homestar Runner... ''{whispers}'' Line?

'''CHERRY GREG:''' ''{whispers}'' Welcome.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Welcome!

''{The camera cuts to Matt Chapman from inside his home}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{voice of Strong Bad}'' It's about time you guys, you know, came to the house, here, uh, to put me on TV. Uh, I don't know what's been keeping you this long, uh, my, my luscious abs have been here waiting for you, and the ladies..."

''{The shot is cut, cued forward, and Matt is now speaking in his normal voice}''

...It evolved out of...when Mike got his first computer...and he didn't know Windows very well and I was like a year or two ahead of him. And...so I went through one time visiting him at college and changed all his system sounds. And so I used a little system microphone to make this voice. And it was supposed to sound like this little Japanese girl and so like his mail, like when he got mail, I'd go like ''{imitates voice used}'' It's best mail for ''you''!

''{The shot is cut again and is now zoomed out}''

...January of 2000 is when we put the website up. And...have like a couple cartoons and a couple games. ''{pauses}'' We were basically just doing it as a hobby--Just to like learn Flash and show our friends and...weren't really set to out, you know, to be an internet whatever. You know, cartoon or phenomenon or whatever. ''{cut}''

If you came over here and hung out with me and Mike while we're "working" for a couple days you'd just be like, "What are...what do you guys do?", "How do you...you're making money at this?", "What are you doing?" ...So, it's...pretty awesome. ''{Matt smiles before the camera stops}''

''{Cut to Mike Chapman sitting at a computer. Mike initially faces the screen where Stinkoman and Old Timey Homestar are used in a flash animation program}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ...So, this is Stinkoman...and he's just been shot in the eye with a pea shooter ''{brief laugh}'' by Old Timey Homestar. And so this is just a movie clip...two frames...one like that and one like that. ''{he clicks the mouse and Stinkoman's feet move up and down repeatedly.}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{interrupts}'' Very old school.

''{Mike looks off-camera and directs his voice accordingly}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ...Showing...Yeah, where it's only two frames. ''{laughs}''

''{Cut to Mike facing the camera}''

...And then there's Homestar who's supposed to be the ''good'' athlete we could just...I guess maybe, I don't know since he's just Homestar Runner and "Runner" is in his name. So it's like why does this guy need arms for? ''{mumbles}'' He just...runs. It's in his name. You know what he does.

''{Quick camera cut to a later in the interview when asked who is his favorite character}''

My favorite character...there's a whole series...the whole series...all the characters also...exist in the 1936...era. They're black and white and the characters look sort of like how Mickey Mouse looked--different back then. So they look sort of "skewed" from the way they look now...and so the Old Timey Homestar is probably my favorite character.

''{Camera cuts back to Matt}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{Strong Bad voice}'' ...You told me there would be ladies here, when you came to my house, and there's no ladies, so if you could send a truckload of ladies my way, that would be much appreciated.

''{Cut to a slightly darker camera shot of Missy Palmer}''

'''MISSY PALMER:''' I'm the voice of Marzipan... ''{looks off-camera}'' And, occasionally I get to give a little bit of creative contribution.

''{Cut to Mike in mid-sentence}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' I read on a message board--and that's when I stopped going to these message boards to sort of read what the fans were saying. Somebody said, "Homestar Runner jumped the shark" and it's like... ''{momentarily shakes his head}'' It's me and my brother making cartoons for the internet in our apartment. We haven't "jumped the shark". That just doesn't even apply.

''{Quick camera cut}''

When Marzipan and Homestar have a baby then we've definitely "jumped the shark".

[[Image:HSR Video Interviews4.jpg|thumb|left|"She thought that I was a fat hippie chick"]]

''{Cut to Missy in mid-sentence}''

'''MISSY PALMER:'''...Like I met this girl from...who I guess was sort of a fan and she thought that I was a fat hippie chick. ''{begins to crack a smile}'' She was surprised...that I was as slim ''{looks off-camera to her left}'' as I am. ''{grins and smiles}'' ...I'm joking.

''{Cut to Matt}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' I'm a Nintendo man all the way.

'''PATRICK CLARK:''' Even to this day?

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{assertively}'' Oh yeah. ''{points behind him}'' Got a Gamecube over there with the...Game Boy adapter on it and everything. So...as long as they're making Zelda games and Metroid and Mario games I'm gonna be buying 'em.

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{voice of Bubs}'' There was this one time when I hooked up my lawnmower to my Nintendo. And after that, I got the high score every ''time''!

''{Camera cuts to show to Matt talking while sitting on the couch. On his right is Patrick Clark from G4. To Matt's left is Mike.}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{to Patrick Clark}'' Melissa was way into Animal Crossing when it came out. I don't know if you heard that was the game where you like basically...my friend calls it "video crack" ''{Patrick laughs and Mike smiles}'' 'cause it's one of those games where you start living in this village of animals as this thing and you really just kinda live and like buy stuff and you decorate your house so you have to play it every day and...

''{Camera cuts once again to Matt by himself}''

A game like Galaga you can play for hours and hours and hours and it's like... and you ''want'' to play for hour--you know you don't need cinema scenes and you don't need like ''{laughs}'' you know, polygonal big breasts and stuff bouncing around so we...we decided that that...those were the kind of games that we wanted to sort of start to put in the site more and more.

''{Cut to outside scene where the brothers and Patrick Clark are playing basketball}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ...Videlectrix...our fake video game company. ''{pause}'' We'd like to... ''{faces Matt}'' We got some ideas for that.

''{Begins dribbling a basketball for the next few moments}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Yeah. See, those are the people that brought you Trogdor...they brought you...the Awexome Cross game which is where you're The Cheat in a tire jumping over Chinese food... and collecting wads of cash.

''{Mike shoots a basket and misses. Camera cuts}''

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' ''{begins to dribble the ball}'' I gotta beat the G4 guy. ''{shoots and misses}''

''{Camera cuts to show Patrick Clark aiming a shot. Matt stands alongside him waving his arms.}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{Strong Bad voice}'' You need to loosen out more. ''{pause}'' You're too stiff.

''{Patrick Clark shoots and misses the basket and the camera cuts}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' Now stiffen in. You loosed out too much; you gotta stiff in. ''{Patrick Clark shoots another basket and misses again.}'' Aww...Too stiff.

''{Patrick Clark aims and shoots another basket. This time the ball finally goes in after nearly bouncing out multiple times}''

'''EVERYONE:''' Awww. Ohhh...

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{his normal voice}'' In there!

'''PATRICK CLARK:''' ''{shaking hands with Mike}'' Guys, thank you very much.

'''MIKE CHAPMAN:''' Thank you.

''{Patrick Clark proceeds to shake Matt's hand.}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{Strong Bad voice}'' This is the guy that knows when to stiffen in... ''{waves his arms}'' and when to loosen out.

''{camera cuts back to Matt in the house, likely filmed prior to the basketball scene}''

'''MATT CHAPMAN:''' ''{his normal voice}'' We have Star-...we Tivo it every day, and a couple times a day. So we grew up watching Starcade...so that was the first thing that we found out when we got G4 on our cable...we were like, "Whoa, this network plays ''Starcade!''" Oh, and Pulse is our other favorite. We Tivo Pulse...we watch it every day... ''{slowly}'' every day. Before we say our prayers. ''{grins and shakes his head downward}'' Sorry.

''{The interview ends with Trogdor chasing peasants away from the G4 logo. He then proceeds to burninate the "4" part of the logo}''

==Fun Facts==
[[Image:G4techTV Interview3.jpg|thumb|"You need to loosen out more - too stiff!"]]
===Explanations===
*"[[Wikipedia:Jumping the shark|Jumped the shark]]" is a term which refers to the point in a television show's run where it begins to decline in quality, specifically referring to a much-derided episode of ''[[Wikipedia:Happy Days|Happy Days]]'' where the Fonz jumped over a shark on water-skis in an effort to increase ratings.

===Trivia===

*According to [[Club Aquatica Interview - 29 Oct 2003|this interview]], the reason they got the TV interview was because Matt went to film school with a girl who later worked at G4. They wanted to do a show on someone in the Southeast, and one of the guys there suggested Homestar Runner. She went to the website and realized she already knew the creators.

===Real-World References===

*When [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] mentions the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] and the Game Boy Adapter, he is referring to the [http://www.gameboyplayer.com/ Game Boy Player], an accessory for the GameCube that allows it to play [[Wikipedia:Game Boy line|Game Boy]] games.
*[[Wikipedia:Animal Crossing|Animal Crossing]] is a GameCube game in which, just as Matt explained it, you are a character living in a town who can redecorate your home, shop, talk to neighbors, and do other simple activities.

===Fast Forward===

*They talk about their upcoming plans for [[Videlectrix]], which refers to Videlectrix.com, released 6 months later.

''{Cut to a scene with The Homestar Runner, Fat Dudley and Old-Timey Marzipan, standing in a field. When voices speak, they are crackly and difficult to understand.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Let's make soup.

'''OLD-TIMEY MARZIPAN''': What type?

'''FAT DUDLEY''': ''{Flaps his hands and makes musical noises}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Parsnip soup it is.

''{There are a few flashes and changes in position on the part of the characters, suggesting that several takes were required to get this scene right.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY MARZIPAN''': Let's make soup!

''{Marzipan's image can be seen reflected in a long and complicated telescope, which the camera follows until it reveals Old-Timey Strong Bad on the other end, peering out. He puts it down, looking malicious.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD''': ''{Turning his head}'' Parsnip soup, eh? We'll make parsnip pie!

''{The camera cuts to a position from which you can see Old-Timey Strong Bad, The Sneak and Strong Man standing in front of some very badly drawn buildings. Dramatic music begins. The Sneak scratches himself and wiggles his nose.}''

'''STRONG MAN''': ''{Flexing his arms}'' RRAAAAHH! ''{The dramatic music ends.}''

''{Cut to a scene with The Homestar Runner, Marzipan and Fat Dudley standing in front of the 'Parsnip Depot'. A sign on it reads, "No hobos!"}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': This must be the depot. ''{says it "Day-po"}''

''{The three of them go into the depot together.}''

''{Dramatic music plays. Old-Timey Strong Bad sticks his head out of the bottom of the fence.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD''': AHAHAHA!!

''{Old-Timey Strong Bad's head retreats. The music stops.}''

''{Cut to the Parsnip Depot counter. Old-Timey Bubs shakes a cup with three pencils in it.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY MARZIPAN''': Parsnips, please.

'''OLD-TIMEY BUBS''': ''{wheezily}'' We're all out. ''{He shakes the cup again.}''

''{Cut briefly to a scene of many tables upturned, empty of parsnips. Cut to Marzipan's shocked expression, then to The Homestar Runner's.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{Speaking in a slow monotone}'' Where have all the parsnips gone?

'''FAT DUDLEY''': ''{makes musical noises}''

''{Cut to a scene showing Old-Timey Strong Bad, Strong Man and The Sneak pushing a wheelbarrow full of parsnips. The dramatic music plays once again.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD''': AHAHAHA!!

''{Cut to The Homestar Runner again.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{Doing a double take}'' Strong Bad!

''{Cut back to Old-Timey Strong Bad.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD''': ''{Brandishing a parsnip, and then throwing it away, while speaking dramatically}'' Now we'll have our parsnip pie, and The Homestar Runner will go hungry! It's curtains for you!

''{Cut to The Homestar Runner, looking confused. There is a short pause.}''

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

''{Cut once again to Old-Timey Strong Bad.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD''': ''{Brandishing an old-fashioned gun.}'' We'll have a duel!

''{Cut to The Homestar Runner, looking just as confused.}''

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

''{Fade out in the form of a black circle. We see Old-Timey Strong Bad and The Homestar Runner standing with their backs facing each other, Strong Man and The Sneak on the left side (Old-Timey Strong Bad's side) and Marzipan and Fat Dudley on the right (The Homestar Runner's side ).}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD''': Five paces, turn and fire!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{Sounding just as confused as before}'' What?

''{Old-Timey Strong Bad starts walking away, but The Homestar Runner doesn't.}''

{''The sound of a record rewinding resonates briefly. The following text appears onscreen: (SCENE MISSING!)''}

''{An image appears of Old-Timey Strong Bad falling off a cliff. The word 'Cliff' is written on a sign at the top. His gun spirals after him.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD''': ''{Yelling in a monotone}'' AAAAHHHH!!

''{Cut to a scene with Old-Timey Marzipan, The Homestar Runner, Fat Dudley, Old-Timey Bubs, The Sneak and Strong Man standing at the former dueling grounds.}''

'''EVERYONE''': YAAAAAAY!!

'''STRONG MAN:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Rarr!

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD''': ''{Still falling}'' BOOOOOOO!!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Now I'll do a dance.

''{The Homestar Runner does his trademark dance, to the trademark music. Fat Dudley flaps his hands and The Sneak moves his nose.}''

''{Once again, cut using the black circle, this time to a table with soup on it. Old-Timey Marzipan and The Homestar Runner can be seen sitting in front of the soup.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY MARZIPAN''': How's the soup?

''{The Homestar Runner eats a spoonful, gags twice, then spits it out all over Fat Dudley, who was evidently sitting off-camera. Soup pours down his head.}''

''{Cut to a scene of the door to the room.}''

'''SICKLY SAM''': ''{Emerging from the door. In a weak voice...}'' Can you spare any mush for me?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{from off-camera}'' Sorry, Sickly Sam, I wish you'd leave us alone.

''{Sickly Sam silently sighs and disappears in a puff of smoke, to the sound of someone gasping for breath.}''

''{Cut back to The Homestar Runner.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Fat Dudley, you're all wet.

''{Fade out with the black circle once more, this time centering on The Homestar Runner's eye, which winks.}''

'''THE END'''

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end click on the "D" in "end"
:''{Old-Timey Strong Bad is in hell with the Kaiser (dressed as Satan) and the Demon, stabbing him in the back.}''
:'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Curses! I've gone to Hell! How unfortunate!
:*Then click on The Kaiser's head in the background and it will say "Buy U.S. Soup Bonds" in front of a faded picture of The Homestar Runner wearing an army helmet, standing in front of the American Flag, with crumpled cans of soup on the ground around him.

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*Clicking "again" at the end actually reloads the html file instead of merely restarting the SWF. This is evident if you watch the SWF file; clicking "again" takes you to the HTML page.
*This is the first time the Old-Timey characters' voices are heard.
*This is listed on the [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons Menu]] as "the first Homestar Runner talkie." In the early days of film, movies made with sound and voice synchronized with the image were called [[Wikipedia:Sound film|talkies]].
*The Homestar Runner pronounces "depot" — a word of [[French]] origins — with the French pronunciation.
*The phrase "(to be) all wet" is slang from the [[Wikipedia:Roaring Twenties|Roaring Twenties]], meaning "(to be) wrong" or "incorrect".

===Remarks===
*The flag in the Easter egg is based on the original United States flag. However, it has only eight stars and five stripes.
*In the Hell Easter egg, the projector noises and, slightly later, the music will eventually stop after waiting for a while.

===Goofs===
*When Old-Timey Strong Bad is looking through the telescope, the image of Fat Dudley, The Homestar Runner, and Old-Timey Marzipan should be reversed.
*The Flash file for Parsnips A-Plenty is par'''ns'''ips.swf , while the page filename for Parsnips A-Plenty is par'''sn'''ips.html

*While The Homestar Runner is doing a dance, Old-Timey Bubs's pencils are missing from the can he is holding.

===Glitches===
*You can still click on the Kaiser's head when it says "Buy U.S. Soup Bonds". It is generally in the same spot as the Homestar Runner's helmet.

===Inside References===
*The Strong Bad, Strong Man, and The Sneak stealing the parsnips in the wheelbarrow is reminiscent of the scene in [[The Reddest Radish]] where their modern counterparts steal Marzipan's radish in a [[Wikipedia:Radio Flyer|Radio Flyer]] wagon.

===Real-World References===
*"Buy U.S. Soup Bonds" is a reference to cartoons [http://historymatters.gmu.edu/d/5052/ supporting] World War II [[Wikipedia:War bond|war bonds]].
*The "scene missing" gag may be inspired by a near-identical scene in an episode of [[Monty Python|Monty Python's Flying Circus]].
*"Sound-O-Vision" is a reference to gimmicky new technologies used to attract more people to movie theaters, particularly the infamous [[Wikipedia:Smell-O-Vision|Smell-O-Vision]].

===Fast Forward===
*The Homestar Runner's dance is seen in [[20X6 vs. 1936]], [[That A Ghost]], [[alternate universe]], [[Decemberween Short Shorts]] and [[Sickly Sam's Big Outing]].

== DVD Version ==
*Both Easter eggs at the end (Old-Timey Strong Bad in Hell and the U.S. Soup Bonds poster, respectively) have now been separated. To access the Hell egg, click down on the remote until the HR logo lights up. To access the Soup Bonds egg, click right until the star of the logo lights up.
**The scene in Hell lasts only long enough for Old-Timey Strong Bad to say his line heard in the scene.
*The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''MIKE:''' Okay, here's an old classic!

'''MATT:''' You think so?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. I like this one.

'''MATT:''' This is a good one. This is the first talkie, everything else up to this point have been the silent... what are they called?

'''MIKE:''' Uh... kick the cans?

'''MATT:''' Kick the cans!

'''MIKE:''' I don't remember anything we've ever did, Mike.

''{Mike laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' So this is the first time you see...

'''MATT:''' Fat Duds.

'''MIKE:''' Fat Duds, Marzipan, and The Sneak.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' This is the first appearance of The Sneak.

'''MATT:''' ...Strong... Strong...

'''MIKE:''' Man.

'''MATT:''' Strong Man.

'''MIKE:''' Strong Man, yeah. Um, there was a particular episode of... "Our Gang" or something that we had watched sometime close to this where one of them was making pancakes or something, and he's babysitting a one-year-old, and trying to make pancakes. It seems like because they were kid actors that some stuff had to be cut out, and you lose some plot points, and stuff, and things would happen... there would be lots of weird cuts.

''{Matt laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' It may be also because the film was 80 years old.

''{Matt laughs again}''

'''MATT:''' Fat Dudley's voice... is taken off of an old "King of Cartoons" cartoon from "Pee Wee's Playhouse". There was some crazy scratching... scarecrow I think came to life. ''{Imitates the scarecrow's voice}'' Oh, hagee sha-ga-lagee sha-gee!

''{Strong Bad is speaking}''

'''MATT:''' His voice is deeper here. Yeah. He's in a higher register now. ''{chuckles}'' Look at his thumb! He has a weird thumb, Strong Bad does, coming through holding that pistol!

''{Mike laughs}''

''{The "Scene Missing!" cut happens}''

'''MATT:''' Well, what do you think happened in that scene, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Uh, I can only imagine that he got thrown off the cliff somehow.

''{Matt laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Oh, yeah. That's a good dance!

'''MIKE:''' That's still a line that I use this day...

'''MATT:''' When there's soup to drink?

''{Mike laughs}'' When there's soup to drink.

'''MATT:''' Oh, Sickly Sam. Those Potates! A reoccurring theme. The saddest exit ever...

''{Mike laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' Uh, Fatty Arbuckle is all wet!

'''MATT:''' That's right.

'''MIKE:''' Uh huh!

'''Kick the Can''' is a series of [[Old-Timey]] toons in which The Homestar Runner kicks his [[Can of Water Soup|soup can]] along the ground, with bizarre results. Each of the 15 different versions of this cartoon has a different ending.

According to the DVD Commentary, these toons were created shortly after the website was put up in early 2000. [[Mike Chapman]] claimed that a few of the short toons were created approximately a year later after an initial ten were created.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|The Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Old-Timey Strong Bad}}

'''Places:''' [[The Old Movie Reel Room]], [[The Field]] (Old-Timey)

'''Date:''' 2000

'''Running Time:''' 0:22 (each) / 5:30 (total)

'''Page Title:''' old

{{dvd|Everything Else, Volume 1}}

== Transcript ==
For each stack of film reels, number 1 is the reel on top of the stack, 2 is the one below it, and so on.

The song [[wikipedia:The Entertainer (rag)|''The Entertainer'']] plays throughout each of the toons, unless you're watching the [[#DVD Version|DVD version]]. Each one starts out the same way, with the exception of [[#Kick that Can|Kick that Can]]. There's a countdown, and then a title screen that reads:

<blockquote style="font-style:italic">
The Homestar Runner In A "Cartoon" for Kids
'Kick the Can' copyright 1933 Free Country USA
</blockquote>

Then the cartoon starts, with The Homestar Runner kicking a soup can along the ground. Then he stops and what happens from there depends on which film reel you clicked.

===Left Stack===
#His head pops off, and he kicks the can up into his body. His head comes back down and squashes his body so that he's just his head and legs. He kicks his legs about frantically.
#His head pops off, and he kicks the can up into his body. His head comes back down and disappears into his body, and a big can pops up in where his head should be.
#His head pops off, and he kicks the can up into his body. His head lands on his body and then he shoots fire from his mouth.
#His head pops off, and he kicks the can up into his body. His head lands on his body, and then his legs bend backwards.
#He kicks the can into the chimney of a nearby factory. He runs into and through the factory, and then pops up outside with the can in his mouth.

===Stack of 2===
#He gets hit in the back of the head with a cinder block, falling down with his head propped up on the can. He catches the block on his foot and then falls asleep.
#A huge can comes up from behind and kicks The Homestar Runner away, then slides up next to the small can The Homestar Runner was kicking.

===Tall Stack (Back Right)===
#His head hinges backwards, and he kicks the can up into his body again. His body then swings upwards and reattaches to his head, and he flies offscreen.
#He kicks the can and it bounces all around the screen, landing in his mouth. The star on his shirt burns away and is replaced with "herbert hoover?"
#Old-Timey Strong Bad pops out of the can, and then his head disappears. The Homestar Runner jumps into the can, which Strong Bad puts in place of his head.
#He stands atop the can on one foot. Then, at the very end, his body starts spinning around like a pinwheel.
#This one is titled "'Kick that Can'" instead of "'Kick the Can'". The can spins around on the ground after Homestar stops. He looks down at it, and then a pile of bricks falls on him. The can pops out and continues spinning.

===Short Stack (Front Right)===
#His head pops off and he kicks the can up into his body. When his head comes back down, the can pops out his rear end. He looks at it and runs away.
#His head pops off and he kicks the can up into his body. It lands upside down, and a face appears on his neck and says "gosh!"
#He kicks the can into his mouth. His body unhinges from his head and a bunch of cans fall out. His body reattaches, and then rockets away.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*In the [[HR:menuswfs/menu old.swf|preview]] for Kick the Can on the [[TV Time Toons Menu]], The Homestar Runner's body sinks into his legs and his head sinks into his body. Then his head and legs sprout out of the can.
*There was a time in the past, when the [[Telebision toons menu]] was still in use, that all toons on the site were watched through the telebision. This "toon within menu" idea is clearly parodied with the projector screen and clickable toons.

===Remarks===
*The very bottom reel in the Tall Stack is not clickable.

===Goofs===
*The Short Stack is partially underneath the last clickable reel in the Tall Stack.
*None of the cartoons in the tall stack have the Old-Timey visual scratch effect applied.
*Along the upper right edge of the white part of the screen is an area of black that makes it appear as if the cartoon has a shadow.
*In Tall Stack, Reel Three, a shadow remains on the ground where the soup can stood after Old-Timey Strong Bad takes it and puts it on his head.

===Real-World References===
*Tall Stack, Reel Two ends with "[[Wikipedia:Herbert Hoover|herbert hoover]]?" on The Homestar Runner's shirt. Hoover's presidency ended in 1933, the "year" of this toon.
*Stack of Two, Reel One (falls asleep) shows Homestar getting hit in the head with a brick and then falling asleep. This is a reference to the old comic [[Wikipedia:Krazy Kat|"Krazy Kat,"]] in which Ignatz the Mouse was always clobbering Krazy Kat upside the head with bricks.
*The music is [http://www.mutopiaproject.org/cgibin/piece-info.cgi?id=263 "The Entertainer"], written by [[Wikipedia:Scott Joplin|Scott Joplin]] in 1902.

===Fast-Forward===
*The can is in Bubs's picture in the [[Yearbook Character Page]].

== DVD Version ==
*The music is an edited version of the music heard in [[Parsnips A-Plenty]] instead of ''The Entertainer''.
*All of the versions of the cartoon play one after another.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
*In the cartoon where a huge can comes up from behind and kicks Homestar away, a Microsoft Windows XP 'browse' sound can be heard when the title 'Kick the can' is shown.
*The cartoons are shown in fullscreen, as opposed to being shown in The Old Movie Reel Room.

===Commentary Transcript===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[The Homestar Runner]], [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]], [[Sickly Sam]], [[Old-Timey Bubs]], and [[Matt Chapman]])

'''MIKE:''' Hey hey!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Why hello.

'''MIKE:''' Old-Timey Homestar, my favorite!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It is— Am I your flavorite, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Uh, so tell me about um, how old you were when you filmed these 72 years ago.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I was getting on in years.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. So what about now?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' My— my friend of years, my friend of tears.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' So we're just going to watch all these "Kick the Can" shorts run back to back. We'll have to watch this little countdown every time and the title sequence.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's fantastic.

'''MIKE:''' That's gonna be fun. That's gonna be the majority of this... is just us watching the title and countdown.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay Mike, whatever you say.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Let's see what happens here!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I lost my marbles.

'''MIKE:''' Oh! Can you still breathe fire there?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Makes a "froosh" sound, imitating fire}''

'''MIKE:''' Oh! Oh! It's hot in here!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, don't—

'''MIKE:''' You just burned the microphone!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't get me goin'! I'll rattle you down!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Um... so I don't really know what else to talk about with you, Old-Timey Homestar, so I'm just gonna start asking you questions about your family.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay then.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, tell me about your sister.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No..?

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Uh, all right. We'll— ''{counting with the countdown}'' 5, 4, 3, 2. Okay.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All these am-in-ations was filmed in the factory/circus district.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' That's all there is there, huh? Factories and circus tents.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Back in those days that's all we had.

'''MIKE:''' What happens here? Oh! ''{barks}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I call that the Shamanga Shimmy.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' So these were—

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' From Spokane.

'''MIKE:''' These were done in two batches. I think, uh... there were maybe nine of 'em done and then probably— maybe a year later, I made another batch.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I once knew a hobo called Two Batches.

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

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes.

'''MIKE:''' What hap— What ever became of him?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' He got run o'er by a train.

'''MIKE:''' Run o'er? That doesn't... ''{laughing}'' That seems like a little bit further back, uh, talking than, uh... than you would normally be.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well—

'''MIKE:''' Like maybe from the 1700s instead of the 1930s?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sometimes I—

'''MIKE:''' Oooh!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, monster sup.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' I wonder how many more of these things we've got, Old-Timey Homestar.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I sure hope it ends soon, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' This—

'''MIKE:''' The idea was that uh, listening to this commentary might make this more fun to watch than, you know, just having to sit there and listen to this stupid song over and over again.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think it's a horrible failure.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah, I don't think we're do— we're cuttin' it. You and I's chemistry isn't quite what I thought it—

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Maybe I can remedy the situation!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, great!

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes!

'''MIKE:''' Old-Timey Strong Bad.

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes, you storefellow!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' I'm a storefellow. All right. Well, I think you appear—

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Why am I not in one of these cra-toons!

'''MIKE:''' I thought you did appear in one, but maybe... maybe not.

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' You lie! You are lying!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Is that— Uh, is that your factory?

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' That's my factory and my circus. My circus tent!

'''MIKE:''' What kind of acts did you perform in the circus?

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' We had nothing but freaks!

''{Mike laughs}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' All sort of two-legged ''{laughs, voice becomes more like Matt's for a moment}'' women!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Two-legged women. Those are—

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes!

'''MIKE:''' —quite an oddity.

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes! And a ''{laughing}'' bearded fellow!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Wow, that's uh... gosh!

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughing}'' He was in the freak show too!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, he should be. I wonder how many more we got.

'''SICKLY SAM:''' I hope you shoot me in the face.

'''MIKE:''' Sickly Sam. Matt! Please just come out of— come out of hiding! I need— I need help. I'm struggling. I'm drowning here doing these "Kick the Can" commentaries.

'''OLD-TIMEY BUBS:''' Maybe I can help! ''{Makes the sound when Sickly Sam disappears in a puff of smoke.}''

'''MIKE:''' Disappear.

'''MATT:''' Oh boy, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' How many— This could be it. Maybe it's over. ''{The countdown begins again.}'' Uh, no, we got—

'''MATT:''' It's not over.

'''MIKE:''' —at least one more. At least one more. Uh, maybe one of 'em— Yeah, this is the one that's called "Kick ''that'' Can."

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Instead of "Kick the Can."

'''MATT:''' This was— Uh, they did some test marketing and "Kick the Can" just wasn't going over well with kids... so they crushed Homestar Runner with bricks.

'''MIKE:''' Maybe it's over.

'''MATT:''' ''{lightly}'' Crunk.

'''MIKE:''' Maybe it's over.

''{both groan as countdown begins again}''

'''MATT:''' 5, 4, 3, 2, ''1'', Mike!

'''MIKE:''' There's one where he says something about Herbert Hoover. ''{laughs}'' I haven't been watching them, so I—

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I didn't watch a single one yet.

'''MIKE:''' I don't know if that's happened yet. Let's see. He stands on it.

'''MATT:''' Ooh!

'''MIKE:''' He spins!

'''MATT:''' That's a nice move!

'''MIKE:''' He spins!

'''MATT:''' No he doesn't spin.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah he does. ''{as The Homestar Runner begins to spin on top of the can}'' Ah! He spins.

'''MATT:''' I forgot!

'''MIKE:''' Uh, maybe—

'''MATT:''' He had— He showed some serious poise in that one.

'''MIKE:''' All right, I think this is Herbert Hoover. And I think this is gonna be— See ya Willy.

'''MATT:''' Willy's takin' off you guys.

'''MIKE:''' Willy's leavin'. Um...

'''MATT:''' Come on, Herbert Hoover. Where are you at?

'''MIKE:''' So these were pretty early though. These were—

'''MATT:''' Yeah, we made these very early.

'''MIKE:''' —within the first—

'''MATT:''' ''{As Old-Timey Strong Bad appears}'' Oh! We were all wrong!

'''MIKE:''' What— Where is he now?

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' What happened to my website?!

'''MIKE:''' Oh.

'''MATT:''' Okay.

'''MIKE:''' I think—

'''MATT:''' I'm trying to wind down at the end of each one in case it's the last one. We have no idea how many we made.

'''MIKE:''' But I think these were done within the first... month or so of the website?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, we— we quickly latched on to making a fake, uh, mythology behind our cartoons.

'''MIKE:''' There's "herbert hoover".

'''MATT:''' Oh!

'''MIKE:''' This has got to be the last one. Bye guys!

'''MATT:''' Thanks! Taste? ''{makes Sickly Sam's "disappearing" noise}''

''{both groan as the countdown begins again}''

'''MATT:''' I was trying to end it with a "paf". ''{makes noise again}'' Um...

'''MIKE:''' So the "'cartoon' for kids" in quotes, you know—

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' —misused quotes.

'''MATT:''' ''{hastily}'' Oh! There was a— Crap! There's a... some moving company or something and it says, like, "We're 'glad you called'" and "glad you called" is in quotes. ''{makes Sickly Sam's "disappearing" noise, gets cut off}''

Dangeresque (film series)

2009-04-07T03:22:29Z

TheFunmachine: Fixed it this Time

{{about|film series}} {{for-nothe|other uses of the word "Dangeresque"|Dangeresque}}

[[Image:sbemail80.png|thumb|Dangeresque and Renaldo]]

'''''Dangeresque''''' is a pseudo-trilogy of amateur movies made by Strong Bad. It originates in the email [[stunt double]], where Strong Bad was asked if he did all his own stunts. He says he does, and shows his new film ''Dangeresque II: This Time, It's Not Dangeresque 1'' as proof.

The Dangeresque films are shot with The Cheat's video camera, then very sloppily edited together. Strong Bad plays Dangeresque, a wisecracking action hero who fights both "the law and the crime" with the help of Renaldo, played by Coach Z. The other main characters play small parts in the films, and Strong Sad is not-so-subtly edited in as a stunt double for any character that might get hit in the head or take a painful fall, despite Strong Bad's claims that he does all the stunts himself. Dangeresque's method of crime fighting is patent nonsense, but the timely delivery of catch phrases like "Looks like I'm gonna have to jump!" always makes the [[Strong Bad's Ladies|ladies]] smile.

==Plot==

In the prequel, Dr. Experimento gets Dangeresque kicked out of the space program. In the first movie, the plot revolves around Dangeresque meeting Dangeresque Too, who helps him get a serum of some sort to Cutesy Buttons to keep her from getting kidnapped, while battling the evil Perducci. In the second film, Dangeresque battles for an important tape and comes upon Barin Darin Diamonocle played by Bubs, who must be working with the character played by Strong Mad in Dangeresque II in keeping the tape from Dangeresque. In the third movie, Renaldo is about to retire when the case to get the formula to restore Cutesy Button's rainforest evolves into a large adventure climaxing into a confrontation with Uzi Bazooka and Craig. Of course, Strong Sad is called upon in all movies to do the painful stunts.

The end credits of ''Dangeresque 1'' have a softer, 1980s buddy movie feel with "[[Today is Alright 4 2Nite]]." The underlying score of the films themselves are short, sparse, rather campy interludes between scenes sung by Strong Bad.

Dangeresque (film series)

{{about|film series}} {{for-nothe|other uses of the word "Dangeresque"|Dangeresque}}

[[Image:sbemail80.png|thumb|Dangeresque and Renaldo]]

'''''Dangeresque''''' is a pseudo-trilogy of amateur movies made by Strong Bad. It originates in the email ''stunt double'', where Strong Bad was asked if he did all his own stunts. He says he does, and shows his new film ''Dangeresque II: This Time, It's Not Dangeresque 1'' as proof.

The Dangeresque films are shot with The Cheat's video camera, then very sloppily edited together. Strong Bad plays Dangeresque, a wisecracking action hero who fights both "the law and the crime" with the help of Renaldo, played by Coach Z. The other main characters play small parts in the films, and Strong Sad is not-so-subtly edited in as a stunt double for any character that might get hit in the head or take a painful fall, despite Strong Bad's claims that he does all the stunts himself. Dangeresque's method of crime fighting is patent nonsense, but the timely delivery of catch phrases like "Looks like I'm gonna have to jump!" always makes the [[Strong Bad's Ladies|ladies]] smile.

==Plot==

In the prequel, Dr. Experimento gets Dangeresque kicked out of the space program. In the first movie, the plot revolves around Dangeresque meeting Dangeresque Too, who helps him get a serum of some sort to Cutesy Buttons to keep her from getting kidnapped, while battling the evil Perducci. In the second film, Dangeresque battles for an important tape and comes upon Barin Darin Diamonocle played by Bubs, who must be working with the character played by Strong Mad in Dangeresque II in keeping the tape from Dangeresque. In the third movie, Renaldo is about to retire when the case to get the formula to restore Cutesy Button's rainforest evolves into a large adventure climaxing into a confrontation with Uzi Bazooka and Craig. Of course, Strong Sad is called upon in all movies to do the painful stunts.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Could you repeat that? ''{Shakes head}'' I thought you just asked me to sever my leg. ''{Strong Bad shakes his leg as he says this}''

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' Sever your leg, please. It's the greatest day.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' See Shandy? Now it's social satire and not just some weird crap that you watch. See you next time!

''{static cut back to Strong Bad in the chair}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And it doesn't just apply to cartoons in which I can't understand what people are saying! ''{lowers eyelids, speaks drily}'' Which there seems to be an abundance of. ''{normal again}'' Why, you could sbemailiarize just about anything!

''{cut to [[Main Page 1]], with the old style What's New buttons and only 10 main pages. A lonely wind whistle sound effect plays throughout.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And that's why Homestar is able to breathe in the vacuum of space, Devon. Thanks for a— ''{record scratch, scene darkens}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And just watch me—

''{cut to a live action video of a hamburger}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —go to work on this hambroiger!

''{after a couple seconds, a Strong Bad figurine falls onto the burger with a splat}''

''{The Paper comes down}''

''{cut back to Strong Bad once again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow! That totally didn't work! ''{turns to face front again}'' Sbemailiarized Entertainment.

''{after a few moments, the "coming soon" message fades, and cuts to Strong Bad typing at the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So that's how you could do some kinda sbemail parody, 4th wall type thing, Greggy. I think it'd be a big hit! People would be all confused like, "Wait, did he really mean it? Or did he really, ''really'' mean it?" ''{the second "really" is typed in waving, green letters}'' You know like, "Am I watching him? Or is he watching me?" Up is down! Taft is white! And hremails are sbemails! Uhhh, can you say ''{high pitched}'' mindblow?

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*This is the first time [[The Brothers Chaps]] have appeared as themselves on the website.
*The mockup of [[Main Page 1]] has only ten Main Page buttons in the corner, and the "What's New" cycles between "new toons menu", "new cartoon!", "another homepage", and "more messages". The buttons on the left are all drawn in the newer style, but the "What's New" button is done in an older, plainer style. Additionally, the "What's New" button is the only one on the page that responds to the mouse cursor.
*The Paper's many links to email Strong Bad work.

*Strong Bad misspells "breathe" as "breath".

'''STRONG BAD:''' And it doesn't just apply to cartoons in which I can't understand what people are saying! ''{lowers eyelids, speaks drily}'' Which there seems to be an abundance of. ''{normal again}'' Why, you could sbemailiarize just about anything!

''{cut to [[Main Page 1]], with the old style What's New buttons and only 10 main pages. A lonely wind whistle sound effect plays throughout.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Toons! ''{the spaceship opens}''

''{cut to the Tandy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And that's why Homestar is able to breathe in the vacuum of space, Devon. Thanks for a— ''{record scratch, scene darkens}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And just watch me—

''{cut to a live action video of a hamburger}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —go to work on this hambroiger!

''{after a couple seconds, a Strong Bad figurine falls onto the burger with a splat}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow! That totally didn't work! ''{turns to face front again}'' Sbemailiarized Entertainment.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So that's how you could do some kinda sbemail parody, 4th wall type thing, Greggy. I think it'd be a big hit! People would be all confused like, "Wait, did he really mean it? Or did he really, ''really'' mean it?" ''{the second "really" is typed in waving, green letters}'' You know like, "Am I watching him? Or is he watching me?" Up is down! Taft is white! And hremails are sbemails! Uhhh, can you say ''{high pitched}'' mindblow?

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*This is the first time [[The Brothers Chaps]] have appeared as themselves on the website.
*The mockup of [[Main Page 1]] has only ten Main Page buttons in the corner, and the "What's New" cycles between "new toons menu", "new cartoon!", "another homepage", and "more messages". The buttons on the left are all drawn in the newer style, but the "What's New" button is done in an older, plainer style. Additionally, the "What's New" button is the only one on the page that responds to the mouse cursor.
*The Paper's many links to email Strong Bad works.

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad misspells "breathe" as "breath".

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc One}}

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{Clears throat and sings at a high pitch}'' E-maiiiiil...

<blockquote class="email">WASSUP! 
 
YOU ARE AWESOME. I LIKE IT MOST WHEN 
YOU HARM YOUR FRIENDS. 
 
ANDREW</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "wassup" as "WAH-sup". He also reads in a loud monotone to reflect the caps lock being on.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{types}'' Andrew, this is the best E-mail I've ever received. Let's get to work!
''{gets up}''

''{cuts to Strong Bad's basement. Strong Mad is standing and watching TV. Strong Bad walks up to him.}''

'''PERSON ON TV''': Some type of TV show...

'''STRONG BAD''': Hows about this!

''{Quickly kicks Strong Mad in the shin and walks off. Strong Mad looks back at him in anger.}''

''{Cuts to garage. Bubs is there.}''

'''BUBS''': What the?

''{Strong Bad hits him over the head with a Golden Record for "Everybody To The Limit".}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad's room. Strong Sad is lying in bed. Strong Bad whacks him continuously with a wiffle bat.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{whack}'' OW! ''{whack}'' OW! ''{whack}'' OW! ''{whack}'' OW!

''{Cut to field-Marzipan is there. Strong Bad has a whole pile of circular saw blades and a bottle of sauce behind him.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{holding a saw blade behind his back}'' Close your eyes and hold out your hands.

'''MARZIPAN''': ''{closes eyes}'' I don't want to!

''{Cut to another part of the field. Homestar Runner is there with Strong Bad, with a huge tub of lava. It says "HOT LAVA" on the side.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Put your head in here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': You got it!

''{Cut to another part of the field, Strong Bad has taped The Cheat to Pom Pom. They both complain as Pom Pom tries to shake him off.}''

''{Cut to Strong Badia. Homsar is buried in the ground up to his neck and Strong Bad has put down a box that says "We Are the Scorpions!" The scorpions crawl around on Homsar.}''

'''HOMSAR''': AaAaAaAaAaAaA!!! I'm savin' the best for last!

''{One scorpion goes into his mouth on the word "last". Cut to the locker room, where Strong Bad has given a bag of hot fries to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z''': Hey, thanks for the chippies, Strong Bad!

''{Cut to Field again. Strong Bad whacks the King of Town with the Golden Record.}''

''{Cut to Compy}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Ahhh, just givin' the fans what they want! ''{types}'' You may notice I didn't do anything to the Poopsmith. I figure the guy shovels crap for a living so his tolerance for pain's gotta be through the roof. I was thinking about giving him a bath or something but, just the thought of that gave me the jibblies. ''{stops typing}'' Here they come again. The jibblie jibbles...

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

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:Thepoopsmithcard.PNG|thumb|125px|Future Stars]]
*Near the end, click on the word "Poopsmith" to bring up an image of a Poopsmith [[Trading Cards|trading card]].

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*"Chippies" (or usually just "chips") is a [[Wikipedia:Commonwealth English|Commonwealth]] term for [[French fries]].

===Trivia===
[[Image:MissingHotSauce.png|thumb|Check out my hot "disappearing" sauce.]]
*The file name for the .swf for this Strong Bad Email has an "x" after the number. The .swf without the "x" is still viewable (and is considered a [[secret page]]), but has a few minor differences. The music stops early, and some things are missing from some scenes (like the disappearing hot sauce) that are in the version with the "x". Also, as Strong Bad gets up from the computer, his reflection is seen in midair.
*This is the first email to feature all twelve main characters, although the Poopsmith appeared only on a card. The first email to feature all twelve main characters in person was [[rock opera]].
*It is also the first email to include the King of Town or the Poopsmith.
*This is the shortest Compy email, if Easter eggs are factored into length.
*This is the first appearance of the [[Jibblies]].

===Remarks===
*The record that Strong Bad breaks on Bubs and the King of Town's heads reads "[[Everybody to the Limit]]". It is [[gold]], which means it has [[Wikipedia:Gold album|sold over 500,000 copies]].
*In the Homsar scene, Strong Bad is holding the same hot sauce bottle that was behind him with Marzipan.
*When Strong Bad hits Bubs and the King of Town with the "Everybody to the Limit" record, the glass cover on it breaks both times.
*Homsar's [[Bowler Hats|hat]] is smaller than usual in this email.
*Strong Mad's only weakness appears to be his knees, first seen in [[little animal]].
*Marzipan says that she doesn't want to hold out her [[Lack of Visible Arms|hands]], even though it would be impossible to tell whether or not she actually does so.
*It doesn't seem to bother Strong Bad that the email is in all caps, as it did in [[sugarbob]].
*The Poopsmith Easter Egg is still clickable at the end of the email, even though it is half covered by The Paper.

===Goofs===
*The contrast stops affecting Strong Bad's reflection right as he starts to move away from the Compy.
*At the beginning of the email, Strong Bad's eyelids are perfectly black and move off of his eyes.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad asking Marzipan to hold out her hands refers to her [[lack of visible arms]].

===Real-World References===
*"We are the Scorpions!" is a reference to the concert-opening cry of lead singer [[Wikipedia:Klaus Meine|Klaus Meine]] of the German heavy metal band [[Wikipedia:Scorpions (band)|Scorpions]], most well known for the song "Rock You Like a Hurricane".
*The poster in Strong Sad's room is of the Milwaukee band [[Wikipedia:The Promise Ring|The Promise Ring]]. [http://media.www.michigandaily.com/media/storage/paper851/news/2001/04/13/Arts/Promise.Ring.Swears.By.Bouncy.Power.Pop-1408911.shtml]
*There seems to be a strong hint to the [[Wikipedia:World Wrestling Entertainment|WWF/WWE]]. WWE's [[Wikipedia:Vince McMahon|Vince McMahon]] constantly speaks about "giving the fans what they want" whenever unleashing gratuitous violence and lewdness on his show.
*In the Easter egg, The Poopsmith is depicted on a "Future Stars" card. [http://future-stars-sp.com/trading_cards.htm Future Stars] is a sports photography company that makes trading cards for children's sports teams.
*Strong Bad gives Coach Z [http://www.taquitos.net/snacks.php?snack_code=221 Andy Capp's Hot Fries]. Coach Z clearly says, "Thanks for the chippies!" Although they are somewhat spicy, it is unclear how giving Coach Z hot fries is a punishment, and even [[The Brothers Chaps]] admitted [[#Commentary Transcript|in the commentary]] that they don't know why it was used.
*In the Marzipan scene, the hot sauce bottle on top of the circular saw blades reads "Sauce". The label looks very much like that of the [http://livecrawfish.com/crystal.htm Crystal] brand hot sauce.

=== Fast Forward ===
*Strong Bad mentions taping The Cheat to Pom Pom in [[lackey]].
*Strong Bad gets the [[jibblies]] in [[bottom 10]], after seeing the "creepy painting in Strong Mad's closet".
**Later, in [[Jibblies 2]], every main character gets the jibblies (excluding Homestar and Homsar).
*The hot sauce bottle and saw blades reappear in [[new hands]].
*Strong Bad says "Andrew, this is the best E-mail I've ever received", yet it was not shown in [[personal favorites]].
*The Andy Capp's Hot Fries Strong Bad gives Coach Z are seen again in [[Kick-A-Ball]], but this time with a picture of The Cheat on them and called "Cheat-Toes".

== DVD Version ==
*The trading card Easter egg can still be viewed using the angle button on your DVD remote.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MIKE:''' ''{attempting to sing like Strong Bad}'' Emaail— ''{stops}'' sing it, Matt. ''{tries again}'' Eeee—

'''MATT:''' No, Mike, I'm not going to do that again.

'''MIKE:''' Hey Matt, do Strong Bad's voice.

'''MATT:''' No.

'''MIKE:''' Do it. ''{imitating Strong Bad}'' Hey.

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

'''MIKE:''' Thanks.

'''MATT:''' This was one, I think, Mike did almost entirely on his own. I had to go out of town again.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Um... we didn't do some commentary on the ones where ''you'' went out of town, so it doesn't sound— I like that. "Some type of TV show."

'''MIKE:''' That's a wiffle ball bat. Some people think it's like a broomstick.

'''MATT:''' Was that The Promise Ring in the background, too?

'''MIKE:''' I think so, yeah.

'''MATT:''' A Promise Ring poster. Uh-oh!

'''MIKE:''' Pom Pom has a Cheat taped to him.

''{unintelligible by both}''

'''MATT:''' We are the Scorpions! Everybody, uh, wonders a lot why the Hot Fries are bad, like, and they think that sizzle— they think that's a sizzling noise when it's really just the shower.

'''MIKE:''' You know they've got Andy frie— uh, Andy Capp Steak Fries

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I've seen those.

'''MIKE:''' I saw those. I wanted to get them, but I was five cents short.

'''MATT:''' But, uh, I actually kind of like Andy Capp's Hot Fries—

'''MIKE:''' I do too.

'''MATT:''' —so I don't know why we used them as a punishment.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The site "[http://www.something.com something.com]" does exist; the site contains nothing but the word ''Something'' and a few photos accessed via secret page. It has been that way for quite a while, according to [http://www.whois.sc/something.com Whois]. Incidentally, the ''related links'' section on the entry for ''something.com'' contains [[HR:index.html|Homestarrunner.com]].
*"[http://www.usshomestarrunner.com usshomestarrunner.com]" is a currently active [[Links#Fan Sites|fansite]].
**"imabigmoronwhocantrememberhislines.com" was a fansite, but the domain name was not renewed and was snatched by a domain reseller. 
**"[http://homestarrunner.net/ homestarrunner.net]" currently redirects to the Homestar Runner Wiki. It used to host a forum and a fansite network, both of which can been seen at [http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://homestarrunner.net the Internet Wayback Machine].
*The [[Spanish]] dialog that Homestar Runner says translates to "Welcome to Homestarrunner dot com. Do you know Miguel? Yes! We are good friends!" It is the kind of phrase one would see in an introductory Spanish textbook.
*Homestar Runner wears a randomly selected costume in Take 25, including:
**[[Naked Homestar Runner|Naked]] (pixelated)
**Witch
**Sailor
**Clown
*According to the [[Wikipedia:Guinness Book of World Records|Guinness Book of World Records]], the record for most takes on a single scene with dialogue is ''[[Wikipedia:The Shining (film)|The Shining]]'', at 127. Therefore, this toon is one take short of tying the record.

===Remarks===
*The [[Wikipedia:Clapper loader|Clapper Loader]] may [[Lack of Visible Arms|lack visible arms]] because the clapperboard appears to operate without anyone holding it.
*When Homestar talks in Spanish, his speech impediment is much lighter. For example, when he says, "homestarrunner.com", he does so without a problem.
*In the same take, "Miguel" may be referencing [[Mike Chapman]], considering Miguel is the Spanish equivalent of Michael.
*By the time they get to take 126, the clapperboard states that they are on roll 11. Assuming that they are filming with standard 1000-ft, 35mm rolls, which average about ten minutes of footage per roll, by this point they would have been trying to film scene one for nearly two hours. This makes sense because it is take 126, and each take would probably be a minute or less.
*Homestar's shirt contains the earlier design color.

===Goofs===
*When "Its dot com" appears on the screen, it contains a punctuation error: It should be "It's dot com" because "It's" is a contraction of "It is".

===Inside References===
*The format of this cartoon is very similar to [[Fluffy Puff Commercial]], where Cherry Greg also has problems getting Homestar to read his lines correctly.
*This is another instance of [[Homestar Runner peeking]].

== DVD Version ==
*You can choose which costume Homestar wears in Take 25 by using the angle button:

**2=Witch
**3=Naked
