'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' If everybody in the world checked their email, the Internet would probably break.

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: cerial box toys</div>
Hey ho, Strongbad. 
What kind of free toys would you put in specially marked 
cerial boxes? 
PB 
Over the hills 
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads 'Hey ho, Strongbad' as 'Hey! Ho! Strongbad!' (as if it was from "[[Wikipedia:Blitzkrieg Bop|Blitzkrieg Bop]]", [[specially marked#Real-World References|see below]]) and 'cerial' as 'keh-ree-al'.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Ooh, I'm glad you asked Problem Brian. I've been wanting to give specially marked boxes of cereal a specially marked piece of my mind for some time now.

''{A dotted-line circle appears near the top of Strong Bad's head. Two lines appear, going from the circle to a new circle, this time larger and in front of Strong Bad's head. In the bigger circle, there is a picture of Strong Bad's brain.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I choose...this piece.

''{An arrow points to a spot on the left side of Strong Bad's brain. He clears the screen, and the circles disappear.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well before you get the toys inside, you first have to navigate the treacherous, jaggedy rock filled class 5 rapids of specially marked cereal box fake outs! Luckily, I'm a lame sandal wearing hippie with a ponytail that's been down these rapids with groups of tourists many times!

''{Cuts to Strong Badia, where Strong Bad and The Cheat, wearing a ponytail and a helmet, respectively, are in the 'Riverquest Safariventure' box, with a hose running in front of it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ok guys, now I'm gonna need everyone to lean hard to the right! ''{Strong Bad pulls out some sort of microphone and makes a clicking noise}''

''{Cut to Marzipan's kitchen. Strong Bad walks in from the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The first hazard you have to watch out for is cereals with anything grown in Iowa in the name. You know...

''{Music starts to play in the background.}''

''{As Strong Bad says the items, boxes of Corn Krunch, Wheat Chaff, Oh T'meel, Cripsy Hog Crunchities, and Fundament-o's appear, in that order.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...corn, wheat, oats, hogs, fundamentally-sound college basketball players. Please, to stay away from these. Those cereals only ever put fitness-related crap in specially marked boxes.

''{A picture of a step counter appears against a blue background. In flashing letters on the bottom, it says "One Free TakesteppaTM Step Take Monitor!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Sarcastic voiceover}'' Oh, great! I can count how many steps I took today!

''{A picture of a defibrillator appears on-screen. At the top of the screen, it reads "Clear?! One FreeTM Defib Kit Inside!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Sarcastic voiceover}'' Fantastic! I can restart my heart if it stops!

''{Cut back to Marzipan's kitchen, where Strong Bad's face is on a box of 'Hypothetic-O's'.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{on the box}'' What you do want to look for are cereals with sound effects in the name.

''{The box flies off-screen. When Strong Bad names the sound effects, boxes of Fruit Smax, Chocolate Breakfast Candy Bar Pops, Soundy Puffs, Blue Laser Blasts, and Sugar Rittled Gunshots in a Crowded Mall appear in order.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Smacks, pops, puffs, blasts, and, um, gunshots in a crowded mall.

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing in the kitchen. X, explosion, boxing glove, square, shoe, and [[Marshie]] shaped marshmallows appear around him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know, the kind with the squarish, sugared pieces of styrofoam that they claim are marshmallows. These are guaranteed to have a nice, big—

''{Cut to a dirty Strong Bad hand reaching in the box of Cheat Commandos...O's}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —reach-your-nasty-unwashed-hand-straight-to-the-bottom-of-the-box toy in it.

''{Strong Bad pulls out a [[Ser-g-geant Marshie]] figure in its blister pack}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing in the kitchen with a box of Fruit Smax on the table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Next up are the three most useless letters in the specially marked alphabet.

''{Zoom to Strong Bad's mouth}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' U...P...C.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad standing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' If you spot these wastes of serif on a cereal box,

''{Cut to a bar code}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' turn and run as fast as you can.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad standing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This means not only are they gonna make you buy ''{six more boxes of Fruit Smax appear}'' several more boxes that you have to cut the bar codes off of, but you're also gonna—

''{Cut to a close shot of a Cereal Flakes box. Above, the red text reads "FREE PLUSH CEREAL BOX" and the black text reads "WITH 25 PROOFS OF PURCHASE AND $15 SHIPPING AND HANDLING"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —have to involve your mom to write a check for the shipping and handling if she's back from Vegas!

''{Record scratch. Cut back to Strong Bad standing, talking angrily}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The nerve of those cereals! You leave my mom ''{slams fist on the table}'' out of this!

''{Screen changes, there is now a box of Cheat Commandos...O's on the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Some cereals can't even be bothered with a toy at all.

''{Cut to the box}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' They try and pass off the back of the box—

''{Box flips, revealing a cutout of Crack Stuntman's head, with holes at the sides so that it can be made into a mask. On the top left are scissors indicating that it can be cut out and the words "snip snip".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —as some kind of prize. ''{Zoom in on the mask}'' That dotted line you expect me to cut along is like a toyless slap in my face! Masks,

''{The image of Crack's face becomes a maze. [[Gunhaver]] appears in the bottom left at the maze's entrance, with a caption reading "Help! I'm lost!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' mazes,

''{The top part of the maze becomes a word search, most of which consists of uncommon letters, like "Q", while the words "'''BUY MORE CEREAL'''" appear in bold. [[Reynold]] is seen on the upper right, with a caption reading "Find 3 words!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' word searches, PAH!

''{Throws box, cut back to Strong Bad standing}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know the kind of kids that enjoyed these funtivities on the backs of cereal boxes, and let me tell you, they were real easy to beat up.

''{Homestar Runner walks in wearing a Crack Stuntman mask.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Blah, Strong Bad, blah! I'm a crappy Stuntman!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know what kind of toys I'd put in specially marked boxes?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes.

''{Zoom in on Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Anything ''{Reaches into a cereal box}'' heavy and pointy enough ''{Zoom in on box}'' to do lasting damage to the face.

''{Zooms out as Strong Bad takes out a chainsaw-car and throws it at Homestar, knocking him backwards onto the floor.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wahhhh! Strong Bad, while I'm down here, can you help me finish this word search? I can't find 'dextrose-flavornoids'.

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

==Easter Eggs==
*Click the words "Problem Brian" to see the book by [[Lem Sportsinterviews#Beverly Sportsinterviews|Bev Sportsinterviews]].
*Click on Homestar's foot at the end to see a [[printable]] [[Crack Stuntman]] mask.
*Click on Strong Bad's head at the end to see [[Breakfast Cereals from Specially Marked|all the cereal boxes shown in the email]].

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Whitewater#Classification of whitewater|Class 5 rapids]] have rocks, waves and possibly a steep drop, requiring advanced rafting experience. It is the second highest of the six whitewater classifications.
*The UPC, or [[Wikipedia:Universal Product Code|Universal Product Code]], is a type of [[Wikipedia:barcode|barcode]] that is used to track the movement of store products.
*[[Wikipedia:Chaff|Chaff]] is material consisting of seed coverings and small pieces of stem or leaves that have been separated from the seeds.
*Dextrose is a simple sugar (specifically, the metabolizable form of [[Wikipedia:Glucose|glucose]]). It is the primary means of energy for living things.
*"Flavornoid" may be a [[portmanteau]] of flavor and [[Wikipedia:Flavonoid|flavonoid]], a member of a group of substances found in many plants and plant-based foods with anti-oxidant properties.
*A [[Wikipedia:defibrillator|defibrillator]] is a device used to restart someone's heart to a regular heartbeat when it goes into cardiac arrest (a common cause of death where the heart fails to beat correctly). They are standard medical equipment in most hospitals and ambulances, but not in cereal boxes.

===Trivia===
*The pedometer reads "EVERY STEP U TAKE: 12 STEPS".
*The Cheat Commandos O's box now has Fightgar saying "Those still aren't O's!", similar to Fightgar's comment "Those aren't O's!" on the box in [[Cheat Commandos...O's]].
*The UPC text reads "UPC FUNZONE | Collect them all!", and the UPC number is "566353 0453080".
*The summary of the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad gives specially marked boxes of cereal a piece of his mind."

=== Remarks ===
*The box where Strong Bad takes out the Marshie action figure is the same box that was too lazy to put any toy inside.
*When Strong Bad reaches into the box to get the toy Marshie, his arm is longer than usual.
*The week of the Podcast's release, attempting to update the Podcast on iTunes would only bring up the message, "'Strong Bad Email' does not seem to be a valid podcast URL." The feed was not repaired until September 10, 2008.
*Strong Bad says the defibrillator is used to "restart my heart if it stops". It's actually a myth that defibrillators are used to start hearts that have stopped. As mentioned above, they are actually used to restart a heart when it has irregular heartbeats, in an attempt to get a regular pattern started again.

=== Goofs ===
*The "Problem Brian" Easter egg is still clickable when hidden by the closeup of Strong Bad's brain.
*Strong Bad's hair doesn't move in sync with his head in the Riverquest Safariventure scene.
*There is a layering problem with the milk on the Cheat Commandos...O's box that makes it look as though the milk is behind the back of the bowl. See [[Cheat Commandos...O's]] for the way it should be.
*The Email Strong Bad and Back buttons at the end of the email are still clickable when hidden by the Crack Stuntman mask's background in the Easter egg.
*Strong Bad says that the letters UPC are "wastes of [[Wikipedia:Serif|serif]]" however the letters UPC shown on the cereal box do not contain serifs.

=== Inside References ===
*The chainsaw car is from [[what I want]].
*Strong Bad's ponytail was first seen in [[bike thief]] as part of his college student persona.
*The walking man on the step counter is from [[50K Racewalker]].
*Corn Krunch was previously seen in [[death metal]], where it contained a full-size alto saxophone (contradicting Strong Bad's claims in this email).
*Strong Bad pulls a [[Ser-g-geant Marshie]] toy out of the box of Cheat Commandos...O's.
**Also, one of the "squarish, sugary pieces of styrofoam" marshmallows is shaped like [[Marshie]] himself.
*This toon prominently features [[Breakfast Cereal|cereal]].
*Strong Bad says to "leave [his] [[parents|mom]] out of this."
*The UPC says "[[technology|OBOE SHOES]]" and [[EGGS]] upside down.
*"Iowa Groan", "Oh! T'Meel" and "New Tritious" are all [[homophones]].
*One of Strong Bad's lines is a variation of [[Please to be]].

=== Real-World References ===
[[Image:SBbrain.PNG|150px|thumb|Strong Bad's brain]]
*The opening of the email, "Hey, ho, Strong Bad," is said in a way reminiscent of "[[Wikipedia:Blitzkrieg Bop|Blitzkrieg Bop]]" by [[Wikipedia:Ramones|the Ramones]]. The song's chant was previously parodied in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], in which [[Marzipan]] dressed up as [[Wikipedia:Joey Ramone|Joey Ramone]].
* Strong Bad's [[Brains|brain]] is based on the second form of the final boss in the [[Nintendo#Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES)|Super Nintendo]] game ''[[Wikipedia:Contra III: The Alien Wars|Contra III: The Alien Wars]]''.
* The Fundament-O's box resembles cereal brands like [[Wikipedia:Wheaties|Wheaties]], in which they put a popular athlete on the front of every box.
**It is also a reference to [http://www.x-entertainment.com/cerealprizeproject/group007/index.php Wheaties Dunk-A-Balls], a basketball-shaped cereal from 1993.
* The 'One Free Takesteppa Step Take Monitor!' is a reference to the free [[Wikipedia:pedometer|pedometers]] which have actually come free in boxes of certain healthy cereals.
*"Every step U take" is a line from the song "[[Wikipedia:Every Breath You Take|Every Breath You Take]]" by [[Wikipedia:The Police|The Police]].
*There was a cereal named [[Wikipedia:Smacks|Smacks]]. It had previously been known as Honey Smacks since the 1980s, and had its name simplified in the 1990s because its mascot, the Dig 'Em Frog, was simply calling them "Smacks". The name was reverted in 2004.
*There was a cereal named [[Wikipedia:Corn Pops|Pops]]. It was previously known as Corn Pops, and was changed to Pops in mid 2006, but was reverted that same year due to poor sales.

The toon menu description(The spin-off no one has been waiting for!)is a refrence to narrator.--[[User:Mariofan1000|Mariofan1000]] 08:11, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
"The spin-off no one was ''asking'' for" is what it says actually, but you're right, this is a reference to something, I just can't remember what.

:He's not part of the gang, I guess. [[Special:Contributions/72.95.4.185|72.95.4.185]]

== Misspelled Japanese? ==

Regarding the Okasan remark: I dunno, I'm kinda hesitant to say a transliteration of a japanese word is misspelled. It depends on the system of romanization you use. The fact we have is kind of akin to saying "Tokyo is misspelled. It is more properly spelled Tookyoo or Toukyou" -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.151.171|132.183.151.171]] 17:02, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

I was thinking the same thing. Besidies, I don't think the a with the macron is in the font. Also, it wouldn't fit over ''moms'' very well if there were two a's. --[[User:Alexie|Alexie]] 17:55, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

In either romanization, it should be spelled "okāsan" or "okaasan" not "okasan". The difference between "Tokyo" and "okāsan" is that "Tokyo" is technically an English word, just like "Japan" is an English word and not a romanization of a Japanese word. It might also be worth mentioning that he mispronounced the word. He prounouced it like it was spelled (with one 'a') instead of how "okāsan" is supposed to be pronounced; which is why that macron or second 'a' is so important. "Okasan" literally means "hill-three" or "Mr. Hill". Incidentally, "Tokyo" in Japanese would be either "Tōkyō" or "Toukyou", but not "TooKyoo". Just sayin' :P {{User:TrueTsumetai/sig}} 01:00, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
:The pronunciation part has some merit, I agree. -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.17|128.103.10.17]] 01:08, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

== Unpluralized plurals? ==

So I remember from a while back a conversation about adding a page for unpluralized plurals... using a singular for something that would ordinarily be pluralized (like Bubs' quote "And it sold like [[DNA Evidence|'''hotcake!''']]"). The page wasn't created because there weren't three instances, but now we have Tompkins' quote "Ow! All my '''client!'''" There was a third instance way back, but now it's slipped out of my head, if anyone can recall it... {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 19:23, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

== HAXXORED ==

Is that a real word or isn't it? {{User:Coach z's cool/sig}} 22:41, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

:You're right! I fixed it in the transcript. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 00:14, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

A reference to Cheerleader and Virginia/Joy/Jennifer? Maybe? [[User:TTEchidna|TTEchidna]] 00:15, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
:Nah, it's just a joke that he got her name completely wrong and yet somehow she's happy that he ''only'' got ''both'' her first and last names wrong. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:13, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

== Spread ==

I am a football freak, and i know terms when i see them. The spread is an offense which usually consists of 3 to 5 wide recievers. To beat the spread, is to have a defense in which the spread is negated. The explanations say it is a gambling thing, which could be correct, but, it does not apply to this.
:I think the gambling definition fits the context better. -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.17|128.103.10.17]] 00:45, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
::How? They're at a FOOTBALL game. I think the football definition fits a whole lot better. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:47, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
:::People spread bet on football all the time. Saying "at least" beat the spread seems to imply that the mascot doesn't believe the team can win, but they should at least try to beat the spread number set by bookies. -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.17|128.103.10.17]] 00:48, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
::::Or it could mean "at least make one decent play" {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:55, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
:::::Of course. I said that I think it fits the gambling context better, meaning it fits both to a degree. It's pretty ambiguous. -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.17|128.103.10.17]] 00:59, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
::::::And i'm saying that i'm not sure that's the case. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:00, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
:::::::It's not ambiguous at all. The Growlbacks have 0 points, and the visitors have 24, presumably six seconds into the second quarter (we know it's the first half, and if it's only six seconds into the ''game'' then the home team is ''really'' in trouble (I suppose it would be possible if the Growlbacks received the kickoff three times, all three times they muffed the ball in or very near their own end zone and the visitors recovered it and scored touchdowns, and all three times they went for a two-point conversion)). Suffice it to say they're getting creamed, and at this rate they'll lose 96 to 0 or worse. The mascot would just like them to do well enough to defy the oddsmakers. A Google search for [[Google:"beat+the+spread"|"beat the spread"]] turns up far more results for gambling than an offensive formation, of which WikiAnswers gives an excellent [http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_does_it_mean_to_beat_the_spread explanation]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:05, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

== G ==

The G on the chest of The Mascott/Greg from AP Math class is another reference to [[G]]'s. --[[User:Zonis|Zonis]] 03:23, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

== Escher? ==

So the ending where the gregs are drawing the comic of the girls drawing the comic of the gregs really reminds me of the famous [[Wikipedia:Drawing Hands|Drawing Hands]] lithograph by Escher. I feel like at the very least that sequence has to be referencing SOMETHING and this was the first thing that came to mind. Thoughts? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 06:13, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
:I think if it was a reference to the Escher image, then there would be a more obvious, visual, reference. Now, seriously, that sequence was so amazing that you can't believe it's original? Give the guys some credit! ;-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 07:39, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

== Open source is free software ==

@DeFender1031:
You said "that's not true though, there's more to open source than being free" when editing http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/4_Gregs

Free as in freedom. The Free Software Foundation, the GNU Project and I prefer it be called free software, so that _freedom_ is at the forefront of people's minds when they use "open source" software. Open source is a name popularized by people who didn't want to talk about the political and ethical decisions made when using free software("Open source") So, the Free Software Foundation being the ones responsible for the Free Software Movement, which is what started all free software, and lead to "open source" software. Also, GNU prefers "Linux" be called GNU/Linux. Free software such as Firefox, GIMP, Audacity, and GNU/Linux itself wouldn't exist without freedom being at the forefront of these respective company's minds. So, if FSF and GNU prefer the name "free software" over "open source" it should be called so.

So I was right to add "Though more appropriately called free software." in the Explanations section.

:There are two problems with this: a) most readers here will read that as "free as in beer" rather than "free as in freedom" and (more importantly) b) open source does not mean free. You can have proprietary software that you pay for that is also open source. Considering that it's not that relevant for the homestar runner universe, we should only give a minimal definition of the term and not go into the discussion whether open source means free or not.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 09:39, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

== TBC Material or Fansite? ==

Was [http://tompkins.tv/ Tompkins' Hot Lady Escort Service] created by TBC or by eager fans? See, I noticed that the webpage has a link to our 4 Gregs article and thought about adding this fact to [[The Brothers Chaps' Fansite Acknowledgments]]. But I don't actually know who registered the website. Can anyone help? {{User:The Chort/sig}} 16:41, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
:Clearly a fansite. Similar to virtualpizz. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:53, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

== Custom music styles ==

Did anyone notice how when the four Gregs are being announced the instrumentals change to match each one? Like SciFi Greg had some futuristic-sounding music, D n' D Greg had what sounded like minstrel music, Open Source Greg had some digital sounds, and Japanese Culture Greg had a Japanese instrument (I don't know what it's called). Just thought it was kinda neat. I didn't want to put it because I didn't know if it would be considered important or not.

__TOC__
'''Fluffy Puff Marshmallows''' is a brand of marshmallows that [[Homestar Runner]] likes and has appeared in two commercials for. Their mascot is now [[Marshie]], whom Homestar hates and refers to as "that freakin' marshmallow". The name "Fluffy Puff" may be based on the cotton candy brand [[Wikipedia:Fluffy Stuff|Fluffy Stuff]]. The motto is "Made from the best stuff", which may be referring to [[Wikipedia:Snapple|Snapple]]'s motto "Made from the best stuff on Earth!"

The Fluffy Puff product line also includes [[Fluffy Puff Mayo|Fluffy Puff Mayonnaise]], Halloween-themed [[Fluffy Puff Malloweens|Malloweens]], [[Fluffy Puff Bite-Size Nibblers]], [[Toikey TV|Fluffy Puff Casserole]] and [[Fluffy Puff Translucent Dessert Related Substance]].

The [[Old-Timey]] version of Fluffy Puff Marshmallows is [[Fluffy Puff Air-Puffed Sugar Delights]], and the spokesperson, the Old-Timey version of Marshie, is [[Mr. Shmallow]].

Coincidentally, Fluffy Puffs Marshmallows is a real brand, as seen in the picture.
==Different ways of serving Fluffy Puff Marshmallows==
There are several different ways and several different meals where Fluffy Puff Marshmallows can be eaten, at least according to Marshie.

===Breakfast===
[[Image:Breakfast marshmallows.PNG|thumb|Part of this complete breakfast!]]
Fluffy Puff-style breakfast consists of a large amount of marshmallows served with maple syrup (or some similar looking substance), [[butter]], and a glass of orange juice about two-thirds full. They can also be eaten as part of a "complete delicious breakfast" with Cheat Commandos O's.
{{clear}}

===Lunch===
[[Image:Lunch_marshmallows.PNG|thumb|The one in between Breakfast and Munch]]
Fluffy Puff-style Lunch is served with at least three tomato slices and one salt and one pepper shaker marked "7" and "3", respectively.
{{clear}}

===Munch===
[[Image:Munch_marshmallows.PNG|thumb|Danger! High Voltage!]]
"Munch" is a meal that comes between Lunch and Pinner that is most likely what Marshie calls a snack or snacktime. It consists of eating Fluffy Puff Marshmallows, most of which have nails through them, and three large [[Wikipedia:Duracell|Duracell]] batteries.
{{clear}}

===Pinner===
[[Image:pinner marshmallows.PNG|thumb|Pinner: Better than Dinner?]]
"Pinner" (apparently the Fluffy Puff equivalent of dinner) is a mound of marshmallows with a [[Bowler Hats|hat]], [[Smoking|a cigar]], and an eyepatch. The dish later appears as an [[Easter egg]] in the form of the third hallucination [[Homestar Runner]] has of [[Strong Bad]] on the [[The Island]] during the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[island]].

Strong Bad gives safety tips for his Gameways.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{film|Strong Bad}}, {{film|Strong Sad}}

'''Places:''' White Vastness, [[Strong Bad's Basement]]

'''Date:''' Tuesday, April 1, 2008

'''Running Time:''' 1:53

==Transcript==
''{Music begins and text fades in from a white background: "And now an important safety announcement". Strong Bad walks forward in a flight attendant's uniform.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hello. And welcome to Strong Bad Gameways. Thank you for playing with us today. Please take a moment to familiarize your bad self with the following safety precautions.

''{The text "Safety Precautions" appears next to Strong Bad in dripping blue letters. Fade to a closeup of a Wii remote.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Due to the possibility of in-game wiggle and waggle, it is recommended that you play your game in a large, open space, free of debris, rubble, and flotsam and Jetsons.

''{Arrows and text appear during the above monologue to demonstrate "Wiggle" and "Waggle". A watercolor picture of a man swinging a Wii remote appears to demonstrate a "large, open space". Sketches of flowers, a flaming military jeep, a message in a bottle, and a cross-eyed George Jetson appear to demonstrate "debris", "rubble", "flotsam", and "Jetsons", respectively.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ideal play spaces include: gymnasiums, abandoned airplane hangars, deserts, and fruitèd plains.

''{The man swinging a remote appears in the above environments on each verbal cue.}''

''{Cut to a sketch of a room with an open window and a Wii remote on a table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' If you are seated in a window seat, pleased be advised that the Baba Jaga may show up to steal your firstborn baby.

''{The Baba Jaga appears carrying a sack with a baby on the verbal cue.}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad, wearing an inflatable vest and holding a Wii remote.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lastly, your game controller is equipped with a safety cover that can double as a flotation device. ''{closeup of Wii remote}'' Simply pull on the cord, and the device will inflate.

''{Strong Sad pulls on a tab on the bottom of the remote, and the Wii jacket inflates.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' But we're not quite safe enough yet. ''{cut to Strong Bad}'' At this time, you may want to inflate your ''own'' safety vest to prevent ''anything'' from ever happening.

''{Cut to Strong Sad. He pulls the cord to inflate his vest and it engulfs him.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Waah!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' On behalf of our awesome-based crew, thank you for playing with us. You are now fully prepared to enjoy your game in total unplayable safety.

''{Closeup of the "Strong Bad Gameways" logo, a golden [[The Cheat]] with wings. Music fades.}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad and Strong Bad trapped in inflated vests in their basement. Their Wii remotes are on the floor, protected in inflated jackets.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I think my contents may have shifted!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man. This is the best game I've never played!

''{Cut to a closeup of the game on the TV. In the game, a 3D Strong Bad sprite is standing at The Stick and looking around. The score is -1000 and the text "Actual Gameplay Footage" flashes over the screen. A Wii remote appears onscreen with the flashing text "Do something!" The Strong Bad sprite scratches himself and shrugs, and the text "Nevermind." appears next to the Wii remote. The Strong Bad sprite hangs his head and walks away, and the text "Game Over" fills the screen.}''

Fluffy Puff Mascots

2008-03-21T01:19:04Z

Unbalanced: /* Marshie's Mother */ Unnecessary peiod

__NOTOC__
[[Fluffy Puff]] has employed a number of mascots over the years.

==Marshie==
[[Image:meet marshie screenshot.png|thumb|200px|"Don'tcha like me?"]]
''Main Article: [[Marshie]]''

'''Marshie''', a large, smiling white marshmallow with a bite taken from its corner, is the general mascot for [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows]]. He serves as a caustic and slightly absurd satire of any number of mascots hawking products to children. In particular, his face seems to have been inspired by that of the [[Wikipedia:Kool-Aid Man|Kool-Aid Man]]. He also shares a resemblance to both the [[Wikipedia:Carl's Jr.|Carl's Jr.]]/[[Wikipedia:Hardee's|Hardee's]] [[Wikipedia:Image:Hardee's.png|star]] and the characters on the [http://www.goldenfluff.com/marsh.htm Elyon kosher marshmallows] bag (in particular, the middle one on the bag). His slogan "Made from the best stuff" is taken directly from [[Wikipedia:Snapple|Snapple]]'s slogan of "Made from the best stuff on earth".
{{clear}}

==Mr. Shmallow==
[[Image:Mr Shmallow makes good.png|thumb|right|200px|"LOOK LIVELY!"]]
''Main Article: [[Mr. Shmallow]]''

'''Mr. Shmallow''' is the [[Old-Timey]] version of [[Marshie]]. He is the spokesman for [[Fluffy Puff Air-Puffed Sugar Delights]] and is creepy enough to give [[The Homestar Runner]] nightmares (though he has a poncey Back East accent instead of Marshie's smarmy, fey lilt). His [[Cholera Acres Cemetary|grave]] is shown in both [[That A Ghost]] and in [[Malloween Commercial]], posing the idea that the Old-Timey toons actually happened. He has the [[Sound Effects|same walking noise]] as [[Homsar]] and [[Nibbles]], and his hair is used as a wiper for his glasses.
{{clear}}
==Nibbles==
[[Image:nibbles.PNG|thumb|100px|"I make good ear plugs, too."]]
''Main Article: [[Nibbles]]''

'''Nibbles''' is a mini-marshmallow and the mascot for [[Fluffy Puff Bite-Size Nibblers]]. He claims to be "one years old." Not only is Nibbles a sugary confection, he supposedly makes good earplugs, too. The existence of Nibbles raises the ire of Fluffy Puff's established mascot, [[Marshie]], causing him to scream "get out of here, you little runt!" at the diminutive confection. Nibbles' walking sound is the [[Sound Effects|same sound]] that [[Homsar]] and [[Mr. Shmallow]] make.

{{clear}}

==Marshie's Mother==
[[Image:Marshie Mother.PNG|thumb|200px|"Just walk away, Mother."]]
'''Marshie's Mother''' has only appeared once, in portrait form. She is an older looking marshmallow woman, with jowls and a bun hairdo. There seems to be some animosity between Marshie and his mother, as Marshie growls "Just walk away, Mother" with his teeth clenched. Interestingly, not only is this line a reference to [[Wikipedia:Alfred Hitchcock|Alfred Hitchcock's]] horror classic, ''[[Wikipedia: Psycho (1960 film)|Psycho]]'', but the painting is drawn similarly to the caricature of Hitchcock seen at the start of his television program, ''[[Wikipedia:Alfred Hitchcock Presents|Alfred Hitchcock Presents]]''.

==Gel-arshie==
[[Image:Gel-Arshie.png|thumb|200px|"I'm an abomination! And I'm coming to your house after school!"]]
'''Gel-arshie''' is the nightmarish mascot for Red Flavored [[Fluffy Puff Translucent Dessert Related Substance]], and is featured in a TV commercial in [[winter pool]]. He is made of red gelatin dessert, and has a visible [[brain]] floating in the center. Apart from that, he is very similar to [[Marshie]], although his voice is slightly distorted. [[Strong Bad]] thinks commercials such as these should be rated NC-17 (for 'Needlessly Creepy times 17').

[[Image:MarshieGaseousVapor.PNG|thumb|"You can't destroy me!"]]
__TOC__
'''Marshie''' (capital "M", and then "arshie", as he would put it), a large, smiling white marshmallow with a bite taken from its side, is the genuinely alarming [[Fluffy Puff Mascots|mascot]] for [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows]]. He serves as a caustic and slightly absurd satire of any number of mascots hawking products to children. In particular, his face seems to have been inspired by that of the [[Wikipedia:Kool-Aid Man|Kool-Aid Man]]. He also shares a resemblance to both the [[Wikipedia:Carl's Jr.|Carl's Jr.]]/[[Wikipedia:Hardee's|Hardee's]] [[Wikipedia:Image:Hardee's.png|star]] and the characters on the [http://www.goldenfluff.com/marsh.htm Elyon kosher marshmallows] bag (in particular, the middle one on the bag). His slogan "Made from the best stuff" is directly from [[Wikipedia:Snapple|Snapple]]'s slogan of "Made from the best stuff on earth".

Marshie has no known relationships with any H*R characters, save [[Homestar Runner]], who "hates that freakin' marshmallow," probably because Marshie [[Meet Marshie|took his job as Fluffy Puff pitchman]]. Also, [[Strong Bad]] seemed annoyed when Marshie [[retirement|tried to make a buck or nine off his heart-drooping loss]], and believes Marshie's commercials should be [[winter pool|rated NC-17]].

Marshie is infamously - and intentionally - creepy. His commercials have featured non-sequitur rantings, disturbing close-ups, inappropriate sound effects, faintly desperate pleas and even a behind-the-scenes nervous breakdown. He also tends to announce his appearances by uttering hackneyed slang phrases such as " 'Sup fools!" and "Oh ''snap''!" in a heavy-handed attempt to convince kids to like him. However, this technique is essentially nullified by Marshie's innate creepiness, leaving the acceptance he seeks safely out of reach.

The use of [[Fluffy Puff Mascots#Nibbles|Nibbles]] as a mascot in [[bottom 10]] may be evidence for Marshie's increasing unsuitability as a mascot, or at least in specifically promoting Fluffy Puff's bite-sized Nibblers product.

Beyond his creepy demeanor, it is insinuated that Marshie is not simply disturbing but actually evil. He is named as a "bad guy" in the song "[[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]]," a vaporized version of Marshie in [[candy product]] cheerily warns that "you can't destroy me!", and in [[winter pool]], Gel-Arshie calls himself "an abomination."

According to [[Cheat Commandos...O's]], Marshie is a "Ser-g-geant".

'''Page title:''' See Participating Stores for Details!
==Transcript==

''{Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat are walking along behind the fence in Strong Badia. Corny advertisement music plays quietly under them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, you guys! All this walking around behind the fence being a young person sure has gotten my hunger all up in a dander!

''{Suddenly, the Drive-Thru Whale shoots up from the ground in front of them}''

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' Relanquish your pipes please, fellas!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{without much emotion}'' Relanquish our pipes? We'd love to!

''{Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat all start laughing. The scene fades slightly as a huge Blubb-O's logo comes on screen, with the words "Come The Heck Down" written underneath.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Come the heck down to Blubb-O's and try your dang self the Blubb-O's Classic.

''{The scene changes to a red background and a burger appears, with a label below saying "Classic" when the announcer names it.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' The Original. The Regular. The New Original. The Old Classic.

''{Each time the announcer mentions another burger, another label with the burger's name appears on top of the previous ones, and the new type of burger replaces the old one, even though each burger is identical (except that it is flipped around each time). Then, a huge deep-fried triangle of fish appears between a burger bun, and another label appears over the others saying "Isosceles Fish Sandwich??"}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And the Isosceles Fish Sandwich. Wait, fish sandwich? ''{A record scratch and the music stops.}'' We have a fish sandwich? Has anybody ever ordered that thing?

''{We hear a beep as the scene cuts abruptly to a kitchen with a lettuce, two onions and two tomatoes lie on a counter top.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' At Blubb-O's, all our vegetables are hand tossed through a refreshing cascade of water, and chopped in mid air.

''{As the announcer mentions this, we see the vegetables come through a waterfall and chopped in half with a knife. The scene then changes to a Blubb-O's restaurant counter, with Homestar behind it, looking exhausted, wearing a yellow deli-style hat with the Drive-Thru Whale on it and a yellow apron.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Welcome the crap to Blubb-O's. Would you like to try a combo meal, ''{Holds up a Blubb-O's meal bag.}'' some Chipotle Potato Nudules ''{Holds up a small paper dish with some [[French Fries|fries]].}'' or our Attempt-At-Competing-With-National-Coffee-Chains Premium Mocha-Chip Meltshake? ''{Holds up a milkshake with some cocoa beans and the word 'PREMIUM" printed on it.}''

''{The camera cuts to Marzipan on the other side of the counter.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' I just have a question: do you actually use whale meat, or just regular fast food meat? I just need to know how hard I should protest you.

''{Marzipan holds up two signs, one with the Drive-Thru Whale with the text "SAVE THE BLUBB-O WHALE", and the other with a caricature of the Drive-Thru Whale with the text "really SAVE THE BLUBB-O WHALE".}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{laughs}'' Family fun, and I'm talkin' about men in costumes, is what Blubb-O's is all about.

''{We cut to the field. Coach Z is in a large Drive-Thru Whale costume with some balloons next to him.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey kids! I'm the Drive-Thru Whale! ''{Jumps up and down and shouts.}'' I'll chop off your legs!

''{The view changes and we see Strong Sad standing beside him.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Sometimes it seems like you're trying to go to prison, Coach Z.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, three square meals a day!

''{The camera pans to the left and we see Strong Bad and The Cheat in a cardboard box with "HMS Locash" written on the side. Strong Bad is wearing his Archibald outfit from [[A Decemberween Pageant]] and holding a harpoon and The Cheat has a harpoon gun.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thar she blows, The Cheat! Aim for the blowhole!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? Whoa, I didn't even see Coach Z standing in a whale costume. Yeah, shoot him too!

''{As we hear The Cheat fire the harpoon gun, we cut again to a red background with a pale Blubb-O's watermark.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And now for a limited time, introducing the Blubb-O's Thick 'n Nasty.

''{A burger with a really thick patty falls into frame, and a gold plate with "THICK 'n NASTY" on it appears on top. A drawing of Peacey P then pops up with a speech bubble saying "that's right. ya'll blubb-o heads. the thick 'n nasty!"}''

'''PEACEY P:''' That's right, y'all Blubb-O heads. The Thick 'n Naaaaaaasty. ''{grunts}''

''{The camera pans right until a picture of Peacy P's mouth, with gold teeth with "THICK 'N NASTY" engraved on them, fills the screen with another speech bubble saying "eeungh!" The camera then cuts to the image of the Blubb-O's logo with "YOU GUESSED IT...WE'RE CALLED BLUBB-O'S" written below it.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Blubb-O's. You guessed it, we're called Blubb-O's.

''{Small lightning symbols start coming out of the logo's whale's mouth, and a speech bubble appears briefly saying "REGISTER DOES NOT CONTAIN MORE THAN FIFTY DOCTORS." The logo shifts slightly, and rubbery sounds are heard, as if the logo were on a balloon.}''

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' Register does not contain more than fifty doctors.

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on the whale's spout to see Bubs ordering burgers.
:''{An angry Bubs is seen through the grill of the Drive-Thru Whale.}''
:'''BUBS:''' No, I will not slice my fingers thin! I just wanna dang hambroiger!
:''{Cut to see Bubs in the [[Gremlin]], without tires and put on cinder blocks, pulled up next to the Drive-Thru Whale.}''
:'''BUBS:''' I got places to be, man!
:'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' You're living a lie. Would you like cash back?

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The name "Isosceles fish Sandwich" is a play on an [[Wikipedia:Triangle#Types of triangles|isosceles triangle]], a triangle with two of its three sides identical in length.

===Trivia===
*The Blubb-O's menu behind Homestar reads:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
|BLUBBO CLASSIC || 1.99 || NUDULES || 5.99
|-
|THE ORIGINAL || 2.99 || KETCHUP PACKET || 6.99
|-
|THE REGULAR || 3.99 || COFFEE STIRRER || 7.99
|-
|THE NEW ORIGINAL || 4.99 || GRAIN OF SALT || 8.99
|}

===Fixed Goofs===
*Originally, each vegetable was cut as soon as it went through the waterfall, but this was changed soon after the toon was uploaded, so that they all get washed and then chopped separately.

===Inside References===
*Strong Mad was shown holding a Blubb-O's bag in [[nightlife]].
*"I'll chop off your legs!" is a variation of "Sever your leg please, sir", and the background music is a variation of the Whale's music from [[Drive-Thru]].
*The term "meltshake" was first used in [[road trip]].
*Strong Bad is wearing his [[Archibald]] costume from [[A Decemberween Pageant]] when attempting to harpoon Strong Sad. 
*Bubs saying he wants "a dang hamboiger" is an instance of [["Er" pronounced as "Oi"]].
*"Nudules" were last mentioned in [[from work]]. There they were also associated with whales.
*Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|Smiles]], and so does [[Strong Mad Smiling|Strong Mad]].

===Real-World References===
*The Attempt-At-Competing-With-National-Coffee-Chains Premium Mocha-Chip Meltshake is a reference to how many fast food outlets, like [[Wikipedia:McDonald's|McDonald's]], are touting their new high-quality coffee as a way of competing with [[Wikipedia:Starbucks|Starbucks]].
*The name of the Thick 'n Nasty burger is a reference to both the [[Wikipedia:Hardee's|Hardee's]] Thickburger and McDonald's [[Wikipedia:Big N' Tasty|Big N' Tasty]] burger.
*Drive-Thru Whale's line "register does not contain more than fifty doctors," is a corruption of "register does not contain more than fifty dollars", a notice similar to one that businesses or restaurants might display to deter robbery.
*The sign on Strong Bad's cardboard box boat reads "HMS Locash", a reference to the movie [[Wikipedia:CB4|CB4]], a mockumentary about a fictional rap group that became famous for the song "Straight Outta Locash". Locash is also the name of the town the band started from, itself a reference to the real rap group N.W.A. and their hit song [[Wikipedia:Straight_Outta_Compton|"Straight Outta Compton"]].

*Originally, each vegetable was cut as soon as it went through the waterfall, but this was changed soon after the toon was uploaded, so that they all get washed and then chopped separately.

===Inside References===
*Strong Mad was shown holding a Blubb-O's bag in [[nightlife]].
*"I'll chop off your legs!" is a variation of "Sever your leg please, sir", and the background music is a variation of the Whale's music from [[Drive-Thru]].
*The term "meltshake" was first used in [[road trip]].
*Strong Bad is wearing his [[Archibald]] costume from [[A Decemberween Pageant]] when attempting to harpoon Strong Sad. 
*Bubs saying he wants "a dang hamboiger" is an instance of [["Er" pronounced as "Oi"]].
*"Nudules" were last mentioned in [[from work]]. There they were also associated with whales.
*Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|Smiles]], and so does [[Strong Mad Smiling|Strong Mad]].

===Real-World References===
*The Attempt-At-Competing-With-National-Coffee-Chains Premium Mocha-Chip Meltshake is a reference to how many fast food outlets, like [[Wikipedia:McDonald's|McDonald's]], are touting their new high-quality coffee as a way of competing with [[Wikipedia:Starbucks|Starbucks]].
*The name of the Thick 'n Nasty burger is a reference to both the [[Wikipedia:Hardee's|Hardee's]] Thickburger and McDonald's [[Wikipedia:Big N' Tasty|Big N' Tasty]] burger.
*Drive-Thru Whale's line "register does not contain more than fifty doctors," is a corruption of "register does not contain more than fifty dollars", a notice similar to one that businesses or restaurants might display to deter robbery.
*The sign on Strong Bad's cardboard box boat reads "HMS Locash", a reference to the movie [[Wikipedia:CB4|CB4]], a mockumentary about a fictional rap group that became famous for the song "Straight Outta Locash". Locash is also the name of the town the band started from, itself a reference to the real rap group N.W.A. and their hit song [[Wikipedia:Straight_Outta_Compton|"Straight Outta Compton"]].

*'''Accept.''' OK, with all the declines I'm sure this vote isn't going to make a difference, but I'm going to have to go against the grain on this one. To say you see "no connection whatsoever" is a bit silly; the phrases are obviously very similar in sound--the only phonetic difference is the "cr" being changed to an "s" sound. (And arguably the "x" to an "s", though it's debatable whether the X really affects the pronunciation of "Awexome".) The similarity could be coincidental, of course, but it could also be intentional--especially since the reference to a cleaner as a "sauce" is unusual enough to suggest there could be a reason for that specific word choice. (And I don't see the fact that there exists a real cleaner called "Awesome" as evidence against the matter at all; unless the cleaner's called "Awesome Sauce" there's still the possibility that the "sauce" was added as a reference to
"Awexome Cross
".) I'm not saying I'm convinced it necessarily is a reference; I'm just not quite as eager to dismiss the possibility out of hand as are the initial replies. Still, as I said, with all the "Declines" this vote is unlikely to make a difference, so oh well... -[[User:Alun Clewe|Alun Clewe]] 04:23, 21 Feb 2005 (MST)
**The problem with that fun fact isn't that they don't sound similar (because they do.) The problem is that it's very UNLIKELY that the words "Awesome Sauce" were chosen SPECIFICALLY to refer to awexome cross. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 09:09, 24 Feb 2005 (MST)
***See, I disagree that it's unlikely; as I said, "sauce" is an odd word to use to refer to a cleanser, and it seems likely there's some reason that specific word was chosen. I'm not convinced it was chosen to refer to Awexome Cross, but I don't think it's all that unlikely. But, again, it seems mine is the only (signed) Accept among a large number of Declines, so my vote's probably not going to make a difference here anyway... -[[User:Alun Clewe|Alun Clewe]] 01:30, 26 Feb 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.'''Although they rhyme, I'm 99.9% sure that this was not meant to be a reference. I think the word "sauce" was probably used because the first 4 letters of awesome rhyme with it.--[[User:Wilbur|Wilbur]]

Is this really the first time Strong Bad eats? He eats a cupcake if you win that [[Revenge of the King]] game, but he.... kinda just.... rubs it all over his face, rather than actually eating it. {{User:Salty/sig}} 07:04, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

== Another Goof ==

I noticed while watching the Easter Egg you get when you click Strong Mad's face while he's spinning around, when it's finished, Strong Mad bounces left instead of right, so he would be going back to his computer room, not toward Strong Sad.

[[User:Eric55673|Eric55673]] 16:19, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

ummm....due to the nature of this email, i don't think goofs are ever worth talking about. 15:06, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[[user:haldo]]

== hallucino-DOES STRONG SAD DO LSD? ==

unless I'm horribly mistaken, quite a few years ago (and maybe even today) people with chronic depression would take hallucinogens, wich to non-depressed people are drugs. could "did you take my pills again?" be a reference to such? (being that strong sad was unaware of strong bad's "funny"ness, and thought he was high.)[[User:Sompm|Sompm]] 03:13, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

== Stong Bad ==

I think Strong Bad typing "Stong Bad" might be actually be a reference to a goof from another email (I forget which one) where it originally said "Stong Bad" but was fixed later. [[User:Unbalanced|Unbalanced]] 05:45, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

==Transcript==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing over guitar music}'' I've been walking on clouds and flipping off rainbows, on the wiiiiings of an emaiiil...

''{Cut to a wide view of the desk. Strong Sad is standing to the right of Strong Bad with a classical guitar. Strong Bad turns to face him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, man.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No prob, Bob.

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

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: alternate univer$e</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
Got some ?'s for you: 
1. What would you do with a hundred million dollars? 
2. What would you do if you suddenly found yourself in 
an alternate universe somehow? 
Jody (not a girl), TX
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "question marks" for "?'s", and "Number one" and "Number two" for "1." and "2.", respectively.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{says everything inside parentheses normally}'' Ya know, you could probably ditch that (not a girl) thing, if you just replaced it with something tough and cool and kool and tuff. Like (Bulldozer). Jody (Bulldozer). Nobody's gonna think that guy's a girl. ''{clears screen}'' Well Ms. Dozer, you pretty much answered question mark #1 ''{read "number one"}'' with question mark #2 ''{read "number two"}''. Cuz a hundred million dollars is exactly how much The Cheat spent on our alternate universe portal.

''{Cut to a wide view of the desk. The Cheat is standing to the right of the Lappy with a blender containing a [[Nintendo]] Game Boy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Isn't that right, The Cheat?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? This thing only cost us fourteen bucks?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well... that's like a hundred million dollars in... dog years, right?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leans towards The Cheat suddenly}'' All right! Mash go on that blender!

''{Camera zooms out a little as The Cheat presses a button on the blender. The blender shoots out white bolts as the lighting in the room flashes. Soon after, the blender stops with the Game Boy intact, and there is a large swirl to the right of the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh-ho-ho! Swirly Photoshopped magic! I bet this thing could release some serious Cacodemons. So... ''{The Cheat turns to face Strong Bad}'' What? I— I just jump in?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leaning backwards}'' Ohbee Kaybee! ''{jumps off the stool and towards the swirl}'' Jump!

''{As soon as Strong Bad touches the swirl, everything except him and the swirl turns black and white. Strong Bad distorts horizontally and vertically, then "springs" into the swirl. Cut to a panel of a comic strip with a number of buildings drawn in it. A caption at the top of the panel reads "IN A BULDING..."}''

'''NARRATOR:''' In a bulding...

''{Camera shifts to the next panel, which shows an empty room. Strong Bad appears, with "VOIP!" appearing next to him briefly. While in the comic, everything Strong Bad says is also shown in a speech bubble.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Where am I?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in an action pose on a yellow background. Everything he says also appears in a speech bubble, and is not lip-synced.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{in large red text}'' STINY! ''{normal text}'' We have a visitor from an alternate universe!

''{Next panel. Strong Bad appears in the same room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking to the right}'' It's Strong Badman! And his well drawn abs! ''{looks to the left}'' But... why are we in a crappy apartment instead of a secret underground lair... ''{looks back to the right}'' ...filled with secret underground gadgets?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is shown from the chest up in front of a blue background.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' Because mere mortal... this apartment...

''{Next panel. Strong Badman appears in front of a red background with his arms in the air. A thunderclap can be heard in the background.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{speech bubble is large, yellow and pointy}'' ...IS RENT CONTROLLED! ''{next speech bubbles are regular}'' And... water's included.

''{Next panel. A kitchen and bathroom sink are shown with the faucets running. The bathroom tap has the word "FROSH!" next to it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Is that why all your faucets are running?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is standing in a room.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{each syllable appears individually in red text and is not in a speech bubble}'' MU-HU-HA-HA-HAH! ''{regular speech bubble and text}'' Those dimwits down at the public works won't know what hit them!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{walking in from left}'' So, that's your evil plan? To waste water?

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' And not pay for it!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I gotta tell ya, Strong Badman... this part of your comic is pretty boring. I'm gonna see what's going on further down the page. ''{jumps out of the current panel}'' Jump!

''{He falls down three panels. There is a woman with a big knife sitting on a giant robotic snake.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! Now we're talkin'!

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in the left of the panel, Strong Bad in the center, and there is a TV with the previous panel on it (minus Strong Bad) to the right.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' You're not kidding!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wha?

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' Now we have expanded basic cable...

''{Next panel. Close-up of a cable running through a hole in the wall.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{offscreen}'' Stolen from my neighbor!

''{Next panel. Strong Bad is in front of a yellow background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Who's writing this issue? The geniuses behind She-Hulk? ''{looks up}'' The Cheat?

''{Cut back to the Computer Room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice is slightly distorted, and a speech bubble appears from the swirl}'' A little frappe action, if you please.

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

''{The Cheat turns around and turns on the blender. Cut back to the previous comic panel. Strong Bad disappears with the same "VOIP!" with which he appeared.}''

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in the same pose as when he first appeared, but flipped around and with a green background.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{in large red text}'' STINY! ''{normal text}'' Keep flushing those toilets!

''{Cut to the Old-Timey stage. Old-Timey Strong Bad is standing on the stage with curtains behind him. To the left of him is a sign that reads "STRONG BAD and his GOODE-TIME PARLOR TRICKS". An audience can be seen silhouetted at the bottom of the screen.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes, and for my next parlor trick, I shan't make anything ''{faces left}'' appear!

''{Strong Bad appears to the left of Old-Timey Strong Bad. He is still in color.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. H-hi.

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' ''{crowd starts booing}'' You brightly colored baboon! You've ruined my vaudeville!

''{The Homestar Runner's dance music plays as tomatoes are thrown at the two Strong Bads.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah! Shades of gray tomatoes!

''{Strong Bad disappears as Old-Timey Strong Bad looks to the left.}''

''{Cut to Vector Strong Bad floating above a vector field. Strong Bad appears to the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is up, my enormous vector brother?

''{As Vector Strong Bad speaks, his words come out of his mouth in red vector-style text. They disappear after a short while.}''

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' HELLOTE.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, uh... ''{cut to close-up of Strong Bad}'' what do you do for fun around here? ''{cut back to previous view}''

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' I SPLO STUFF UP.

''{Strong Bad jumps backwards slightly to avoid the "UP", which promptly explodes with vector graphics.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, that's pretty cool.

''{Stinkoman walks in from the left.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Hey, guys! How's challenges?

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' WHAT IT IS MY DOGE?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, you two know each other?

''{Cut to close-up of Stinkoman.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{smiles}'' Oh, totally sure! ''{leans forward and waves one of his arms}'' He's my training simulator!

''{Cut back to previous view.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Check it out!

''{Vector Strong Bad starts moving left and right, shooting squares from his mouth. Stinkoman jumps around and dodges the squares. Strong Bad also jumps over and around the squares, but appears to have more difficulty doing so. Game music from [[video games]] plays. After a few seconds, they all stop.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Nice work, big nose!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Big nose?

'''STINKOMAN:''' Your nose!

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' LEVEL 2

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-oh.

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Uh-oh.

''{Stinkoman silently laughs as Vector Strong Bad shoots a series of squares directly at Strong Bad. As they explode, Strong Bad disappears. Vector Strong Bad then shoots some squares at Stinkoman, which he dodges.}''

''{Cut to a field in the style of [[flashback]]. Tiny Handed Strong Bad is standing close to the camera. Strong Bad appears to the right. All text appears in a white rectangle near the bottom of the screen.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' And so, ''{Strong Bad starts looking around}'' both Strong Bads entered the 'Dig To China With Your Ears Contest.'

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is just about... the second or third to worst contest I ever heard of.

''{Cut to a silhouetted view of the field. Pom Pom, Strong Mad, Coach Z, Bubs and Marzipan are standing to the right of a banner which reads "the contest began!!". Tiny Handed Strong Bad is underneath the banner.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' The contest began!

''{Cut to a close-up of Tiny Handed Strong Bad rubbing his head on the ground near a line marked "start".}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' And tiny-handed Strong Bad rubbed his head on the ground... ''{cut to a wide view; Strong Bad is sitting on a hammock with his Dangeresque sunglasses on.}'' while our Modern Day Hero maxed and relaxed.

''{Cut to Tiny Handed Strong Bad standing near the camera again, as in the first shot. A hole is visible near the background, and a giant glass of root beer appears in the center.}''

'''TINY HANDED STRONG BAD:''' I struck it rich!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Said T.H.S.B.

''{Cut to a zoomed out view of the previous scene, but with the giant glass of root beer in the center. The Fat Bee is seen holding Strong Bad's hammock up.}''

'''TINY HANDED STRONG BAD:''' A giant mug of frosty root beer!

''{Old-Timey Strong Bad appears to the left in a bathing suit. Tiny Handed Strong Bad looks at him.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Zounds! A sarsparilla swimming hole! Last one in's a freemason! ''{he half-runs toward the root beer and jumps in}'' Jump! ''{this last word does not appear in a subtitle}''

''{Strong Bad disappears. Keyboard Strong Bad appears at the bottom left of the screen and dances while playing a tune.}''

''{Cut to a screen in the style of Puppet Stuff. Puppet Strong Bad is standing in front of the Strong Badia fence. The Tire and Stop Sign are visible. Strong Bad appears to the right. Music starts playing and both Strong Bads dance in sync with each other. After a moment, Strong Bad disappears again.}''

''{Cut to Da Huuuuuudge's Enclosure. Strong Bad appears lying down on top of it. He slowly slides down, then disappears.}''

''{Cut to the abandoned factory from [[highschool]]. Teenage Strong Bad is standing to the right. Strong Bad appears to the left.}''

'''TEENAGE STRONG BAD:''' Stripèd pants.

''{Strong Bad disappears. Cut to the interdimensional void, which changes colors constantly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice slightly distorted}'' The Cheat! Cool out on the liquefy button, man!

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar standing next to the blender in the Computer Room. The blender still contains the Game Boy, but now also contains a green substance. One and a half avocados are sitting on the desk, along with a jar that reads "Total Load". Homestar is pressing buttons on the blender.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm trying to make me a real fruit smoothie here!

''{Cut to a wide shot. Tiny Handed Strong Bad is standing to the left, with Senor Cardgage, Old-Timey Strong Bad and Da Huuuuuudge to the right.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Any of you guys got any bee pollen?

''{As Homestar presses another button, Strong Bad appears next to the portal and Strong Badman appears on the left side of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar! Quit messing with my alternate universe portal!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{slowly}'' I'm trying to replenish some electrolytes, if you don't mind!

''{Homestar presses another button on the blender. He and the portal both suddenly disappear, and Sterrance appears on the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking around}'' Wow. Just look at all these Strong Bad-related faces. What an all-star cast! What say we all form a supergroup and record a number one jam!

''{All of the Strong Bad clones groan.}''

Drinks containing electrolytes, such as popular sports drinks, are often used to ease [[Wikipedia:Dehydration|dehydration]].
*A [[Wikipedia:Supergroup (music)|Supergroup]] is a musical group comprising artists who were previously members of earlier, well-known groups.
*A [[Wikipedia:Doppelgänger|Doppelgänger]] refers either to a creature from folklore that mimics people's appearances as an omen of death, or to the theory that everyone in the world has someone else that looks exactly like them.
*[[Wikipedia:Adobe Photoshop|Adobe Photoshop]] is a widely used image editor from Adobe Systems Incorporated. The term "[[Wikipedia:Photoshopping|Photoshopped]]" has come to mean any digital edit done to an image, even if it wasn't done in Photoshop itself. The term is often used pejoratively to say that something is rather obviously edited.
*Stinkoman calls Strong Bad "big nose", a derogatory term used in eastern Asia to describe Westerners, whose noses tend to be genetically larger than Asians'. This is also a reference to the anime art style, where noses are less pronounced than most American cartoons.

===Trivia===
*This email was the longest email when released, almost a full minute longer than [[flashback]] (previously the longest). However, it has since been surpassed by [[retirement]].
*When Strong Bad jumps down several panels in the Strong Badman comic, he passes a panel containing an explosion (with the word "TADAOW!"), and another panel with [[Strong Badman Characters#Deutschman|Deutschman]] (from [[haircut]]) holding a chain of sausages. Deutschman is saying "KINDER UBERRASCHUNG!!", the German name for [[Wikipedia:Kinder Surprise|Kinder Surprise]] (though Uberraschung should be spelled Überraschung).
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#weird dreams|weird dreams]]".
*This is the first time Stinkoman has been seen smiling without laughing.
*This is the first time we hear the Da Huuuuuudge's voice.
*This marks the second time in which characters from at least two different universes come together in one universe. The first time was in [[20X6 vs. 1936]], in which The Homestar Runner shows up on [[Planet K]].
*When the portal appears, along the side of it, there is some pixel disruption, where you can see the individual pixels.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad has [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Strong Bad's Nose|no visible nose]] [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Ears|or ears]], despite the fact that those body parts were mentioned in this email.
*Senor Cardgage is the only one of Strong Bad's alter egos who had been seen talking with him prior to this email, as seen in [[kind of cool]], [[garage sale]], and [[Senorial Day]].
*This is a rare occasion of [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship#Strong Bad and Strong Sad Getting Along|Strong Bad being nice to Strong Sad]].
*In [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], Strong Sad is seen writing with his right hand. However, in this email, Strong Sad is playing the [[Strong Sad's Guitar|guitar]] [[Left Handedness|left-handed]], though it is possible that Strong Sad is ambidextrous.
*When Strong Bad types "Well, Ms. Dozer" he types Ms. (pronounced 'miz', used by both married and single women) but pronounces it 'miss', which is the form of address for unmarried women.
*If every dollar was a "dog year", then according to the [[Wikipedia:Dog years|popular formula]], the money would still only sum up to ninety-eight dollars.
**Conversely, if Strong Bad were correct, each "dollar in dog years" would be worth over $70,000.
*Frappé is spelled as "Frappe" when Strong Bad talks to The Cheat. It is lacking the acute accent.
*During the Vector Strong Bad segment, the cartoon's border changes to red.
*When the mug of root beer appears, the hole is under the hammock; before, it was beside the hammock.
*Homestar pronounces the word "fruit" without his usual speech impediment.
*Not all Strong Bad versions were included, such as his [[Powered by The Cheat]] version or his [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters|Teen Girl Squad]] version.

*During the recording session at the end, Strong Badman's words appear in a speech bubble, but Vector Strong Bad's words do not appear in text as they always otherwise do.
*In the same scene, the wall's grey spot pattern is made from a single image of dots copied and pasted multiple times. This results in some half dots appearing between the copied images.
*In the recording studio, the characters use wireless microphones. While wireless microphones are handy in live performance (to prevent signal loss on a long cable run, as well as to avoid tangling of cables), they are actually rarely used in studio work because cabled microphones deliver truer fidelity.
*The puppet Strong Bad is the only doppelgänger Strong Bad visited that did not appear in the ending screen, for obvious reasons.
*As Coach Z moves his head during his line in the Black Lodge Easter egg scene, the way the coffee dripping from the bottom of his head is animated makes it look as though the coffee breaks the rules of gravity; it seems to be dripping at an angle.
*In the Easter Egg with Senor Cardgage, when Strong Bad disappears, his voice can still be heard even though he is probably far away from where Senor Cardgage is.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Altuniv1318-1319.png|thumb|From blue to green.]]
*At the beginning of the email, Strong Bad's reflection is out of sync with his movements.
*After cutting to the wide shot showing The Cheat with the blender, the Lappy's screen includes the text "Isn't that right, The Cheat?", even though Strong Bad didn't actually type it.
*When Strong Bad first jumps into the alternate universe portal, his stool disappears briefly while he's in the process of warping. It briefly reappears after Strong Bad leaves, but for the remainder of the email, the stool is missing.
*During the comic scene, the panel below the one after "Because, mere mortal..." has a blue background at first. When it moves to the next panel ("Is rent controlled!"), the background changes to green.
*Several times during the email, Strong Bad's pants change color from black to dark navy (although the pant legs remain the same color), such as the first scene with Vector Strong Bad and the recording session at the end.
[[Image:Alternateuniversegoof.png|thumb|Disappearing start line.]]
*In the "Dig to China with your ears contest" part, the starting line disappears when the camera cuts to the giant mug of root beer.

*In the "Save The Last Email" song, Vector Strong Bad is behind Strong Badman, yet his white and green lines appear above Strong Badman when talking/singing.
*Stinkoman does not have any shine on his chest. This also happened in [[Happy Trogday]] prior to this toon.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When the email was released, "girl" was misspelled as "gir" in Jody's email. This was fixed shortly thereafter.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad's intro song refers to flipping [[the bird]].
*Strong Sad was previously seen playing an acoustic guitar in a [[Sketchbook 2006#SK-2006-03-02|Sketchbook]] entry, although that guitar was a twelve-string. Here he plays a six-string classical guitar.
[[Image:HSRTimeMachine.PNG|thumb|Homestar's Time machine]]
*The alternate dimension machine is a [[Blender#Game Boy in a Blender|Game Boy in a Blender]]. In [[2 emails]], Homestar claims to have made a time machine by sticking a Game Boy in a [[blender]] while the email is fast-forwarding.
*This is another example of [[mashing]].
*The "In a bulding"  line, including its accent and pronunciation, is straight from the [[Sketchbook (video)|DVD Sketchbook]] (though it was spelled correctly there).
*The woman on Strong Badman's television is holding a [[Big Knives|Big Knife]].
*"Doge" is a reference to [[Biz Cas Fri 1]], where Homestar misspells the word "dog" ("dawg") the same way.
*Strong Bad comments that the "Dig To China With Your Ears Contest" is the "second or third to worst contest I ever heard of." The worst contests that originated in children's storybooks are likely to be the "Strongest Man in the World Contest" from the [[Original Book]], and the "Ten Step Footrace" from [[flashback]].

*The fence used for the puppet Strong Badia set is the same one used in [[Homestar vs. Other Little Girl]].
*This is another appearance of the [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] sunglasses.
*Strong Bad previously mentioned "real fruit smoothies" in [[mascot]], saying that he had promised to buy some for the team if they won the game.
*Homestar Runner's "real fruit smoothie" is another example of a [[concoction]].
*Stinkoman's line in the song "I hope it's from a girl" is a possible reference to the e-mail song in [[dragon]] ("Every week I hope that it's from a female!").
*Strong Bad visits many previous emails in his travels:
**Strong Badman and Stiny originated in [[superhero name]].
**Deutschman originated in [[haircut]].
**Vector Strong Bad is from [[video games]].
**Stinkoman originated in [[japanese cartoon]].
**Tiny-handed Strong Bad is from [[flashback]].
**Keyboard Strong Bad originated in [[crazy cartoon]] and played the same song then as in this email. 
**Da Huuuuuudge and Sterrance are both from [[animal]].
**Teenage Strong Bad and the term "stripèd pants" are from [[highschool]].
**Senor Cardgage originated in [[kind of cool]].
*In addition, some of the music accompanying the scenes Strong Bad visits are also reused from other parts of the website. They include:
**The music from [[action figure]]; later used in [[suntan]] and [[army]] (during the Strong Badman scene).
**Old-Timey Strong Bad's theme music from [[Parsnips A-Plenty]]; later used in [[50 emails]] (during the Old-Timey scene).
**[[The Homestar Runner]]'s dance music (also during the Old-Timey scene).
**The synthesized drum tune from [[Main Page 21]] (during the [[Vector Field]] scene).
**The music from [[flashback]] (during the [[Original Book]] scene).
**Keyboard Strong Bad's demo music from [[crazy cartoon]].
**The weird music during Coach Z's dream scene from [[A Jorb Well Done]]; later used in [[lures & jigs]] (during the fishing Easter egg scene with Senor Cardgage).
**The creepy music during Strong Sad's storyboard scenes from [[Sbemail 150?!?]] (during the Coach Z Easter egg).
*The Easter egg with coffee-drenched Coach Z and the eyeball pear begins exactly as described and storyboarded by Strong Sad in [[Sbemail 150?!?]].
**The word ''sesquicentenn-email'', ("150th email"), was also coined by Strong Sad in Sbemail 150?!?.
*The fishing boat, lake and background sounds are all from [[lures & jigs]].
*The word "VOIP" is a reference to the [[Visor Robot]]'s sound effect from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].

=== Real-World References ===
*[[Cacodemons]] are evil spirits or demons, the opposite being an angel or "agathodemon". However, the name cacodemon is better known as the flying, red, one-eyed enemy from the ''[[Wikipedia:Doom|Doom]]'' series of computer games. The plot for these games involved demons escaping hell via portals.
*The pronunciation "ohbee kaybee" for "okay" was frequently said by the character Mushmouth on the animated ''[[Wikipedia:Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids|Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids]]'', as well as being used by Bill Cosby himself in his famous 'Dentists' routine.
*The [[font]] in the comic book alternative universe, known as "Peanuts", was designed to emulate the style of lettering used in the ''[[Wikipedia:Peanuts|Peanuts]]'' comics.
*[[Wikipedia:She-Hulk|She-Hulk]] is a comic book heroine from [[Wikipedia:Marvel Comics|Marvel Comics]] and the cousin of ''[[Wikipedia:Hulk (comics)|The Incredible Hulk]]''. She-Hulk comics were once noted for their [[Fourth Wall Breaks|fourth-wall breaks]], similar to Strong Bad's comments on the quality of the Strong Badman comic and his ability to travel from panel to panel. These not-always-appreciated gags were introduced by writer [[Wikipedia:John Byrne|John Byrne]], who may be the "genius" Strong Bad ridicules.
**However, in the commentary to this email, the Brothers Chaps claim they were not aware of this when writing the email.
*The phrase 'maxed and relaxed' may be a reference to the ''[[Wikipedia:The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air|Fresh Prince of Bel-Air]]'' theme song, in which [[Wikipedia:Will Smith|Will Smith]] states he is "maxin' and relaxin' all cool". Additionally, Smith uses the phrase throughout the series and his own raps.
*The surreal Coach Z Easter egg is an homage to a famous scene from the similarly surreal TV series, ''[[Wikipedia:Twin Peaks|Twin Peaks]]''. The background for the scene featured red drapes, and the starring character, Dale Cooper, spills coffee on himself, represented here by Coach Z's streaming hat of coffee. The unusual speech used by Homestar, meanwhile, was the hallmark of the scene; the actors actually spoke their dialogue backwards, and the recording was then played in reverse, so that the words were heard by the audience in their proper order (though they still sounded unusual and contorted, just as Homestar sounds here). It seems as though Matt Chapman faked this technique, rather than actually recording his lines backwards. ''Twin Peaks'' was co-created by director [[Wikipedia:David Lynch|David Lynch]], whom Strong Sad cited as an influence in [[Sbemail 150?!?]]. Additionally, the phrase "I'm not at liberty to discuss [...]" is a direct lift from the lines of Major Garland Brigs, a character on Twin Peaks, who is often unable to talk about what he does for a living.
*[[Wikipedia:Alonzo Mourning|Alonzo Mourning]] is an NBA basketball player.
*The [[sound effect]] in the fishing Easter Egg that starts right after Strong Bad says "Wow, a fishing trip with Senor Cardgage!" is from ''[[Wikipedia:Fishing with John|Fishing With John]]''.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
'''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]], [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]]

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' I refuse to speak about this SBEmail!

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

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Aren't you glad to see-a me?

'''MIKE:''' Do you go by Old-Timey Strong Bad or are you just Strong Bad?

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' I'll go by you with a spine-toothed comb!

'''MIKE:''' Uhh... I forgot—

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' And I'm out!

'''MATT:''' Oh! Uh, who was that, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' I don't know. I guess he didn't think he could make it though the whole email?

'''MATT:''' I don't know. He said he was refusing to comment on it.

'''MIKE:''' I didn't remember that Strong Sad played, uh, backup on the email song.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it's a sweet— it's one of the few— one of the few tender moments between those brothers. When he says "No prob Bob," it makes me want to cry.

'''MIKE:''' So, it was—

'''MATT:''' Like those times when we were kids and you would be nice and let me hang out with you and John Radle.

'''MIKE:''' They were few and far between. It was usually just so we could beat you up or pour something on you.

'''MATT:''' Yeah...

'''MIKE:''' Spray something in your eye.

'''MATT:''' Uh, Gameboy in a blender, Mike, so that's a reference to— What email is that? The one where Strong Bad fast— The one where he fast forwards. 2 emails?

'''MIKE:''' 2 emails.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Look at that!

'''MATT:''' Whoa!

'''MIKE:''' Look at that portal!

'''MATT:''' Whoa! What a portal! ''{pause}'' Definitely. Portals— Anybody that's developing portals right now, in the military or in science needs to stop. 'Cause video— if video games have taught us anything, it's that a bunch of evil demons from Hell are gonna come out of it, and, kill us all. ''{pause}'' Oh! In— In Principal Belving's office!

'''MIKE:''' So, this email was kind of, you know we hadta, do something, special for 150.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, definitely. Bring all the Strong Bad— the various Strong Bads together.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' The many faces of Strong Bad.

'''MATT:''' The many facets, even.

'''MIKE:''' This is, uh... we had written a Strong Badman years ago, three or four years ago, that was sort of based on this premise.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, he was just gonna get an apartment, and feel like his apartment was gonna help him take over the world, and he'd just have a landlord that he would— He hits him with ping— a ping-pong

'''MIKE:''' A ping-pong ball, yeah. Is that in here?

'''MATT:''' No.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' No.

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

'''MIKE:''' I can't remember. He throws a ping-pong ball—

'''MATT:''' At his landlord.

'''MIKE:''' Landlord, yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Yeah. ''{pause}'' Uh, it was just on cable. Whoa. And on Animal Planet. Probably.

'''MIKE:''' So, apparently She-Hulk was well known for breaking the fourth wall.

'''MATT:''' And having good writing. ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, too. Which we didn't know.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Yeah, we didn't know. I just assumed She-Hulk— I've never read an issue of She-Hulk. One time she was in this Fantastic Four versus X-Men that I got. That's about all the exposure I have.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' I think I read about her in the Marvel— Didn't they have those Marvel universe, just kind of encyclopedias?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, yeah. ''{pause}'' Good-time parlor tricks. So, back then, people were apparently so easily amused that you could do nothing. You could make nothing appear, and people would— people would ooh and ahh at you. ''{pause}'' Look, so these guy are buddies, Mike! My doge!

'''MIKE:''' That's a reference to a Biz Caz Fri.

'''MATT:''' Oh, Stinkoman. And to the right!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Your nose.

'''MATT:''' Uh... Oh, look out, Stinkoman. ''{pause}'' Uh... There he goes, rubbin' his head on the ground. He's wearing his Dangerask shades.

'''MIKE:''' Dangerask shades.

'''MATT:''' Dangeresque.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it's like, sort of like danger.

'''MATT:''' What?

'''MIKE:''' Dangeresque. It's means sort of like danger.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I was saying Dangerask. That's why I corrected myself. Oh, look, there's Casio head Strong Bad. Oh, look, now, he's in the real world, and in a real Strong Badia.

'''MIKE:''' That's in the next room.

'''MATT:''' It is.

'''MIKE:''' It's where we play video games.

'''MATT:''' Mmm hmm. ''{laughs}'' That's all that Strong Bad talks about, is stripèd pants. Total load! Do you think our brother still has some total load somewhere in his house. He used to get ultra-fuel.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Hy-hydro fuel and ultra-fuel?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, yeah. ''{pause}'' What up, Cardgage?

'''MIKE:''' Is Cardgage's hair backwards there?

'''MATT:''' Probably. I think his hair doesn't follow any— His comb-over switches sides. ''{pause}'' What game is in there? Weird Dreams, remember that game?

'''MIKE:''' I do remember.

'''MATT:''' Sometimes, you were inside a giant cotton candy machine. ''{laughs}'' ''{pause}'' Nobody wants to record a hit— a #1 jam with him. ''{pause}'' Hey, we're using a pop screen on our microphone right now, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' And we're sitting in a room with ceiling tiles on the wall just like that!

'''MATT:''' It's true. ''{laughs}'' Old-Timey Strong Bad did not like that high note Stinkoman tried to hit. Sterrence is not singing. ''{pause}'' This is a pretty good song.

'''MIKE:''' I like that, uh, guitar going in the background.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' ''{guitar noises}''

'''MATT:''' Da Huuuuuudge has a heavenly voice. Who woulda thought?

'''MIKE:''' Senor Muybueno's not in there.

'''MATT:''' Well, there's a few that it's missing, but this is the, you know—

'''MIKE:''' Those are all the ones that have appeared more than once, probably.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Except Da Huuuuuudge has only appeared once before that.

===Fun Facts===
*Senor Muybueno is from the [[Strong Libs]] Easter Egg from [[lackey]] and the [[Kicking The Cheat]] Lite scene of [[pop-up]].

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Save the gross stuff up at the back of your throat, and hock it at an unsuspecting email. ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: famous</div>
Ok Strong Bad, you and the Cheat are like famous now, 
but why haven't you licensed anything yet? Like where's the 
strong Bad novels and fluffy pillows, I need more Strong 
Bad in my day, come on man help me out! 
From yours truly 
Pilmple-Faced Bill from receiving
</blockquote>
''{reads "Pilmple-Faced Bill" as written}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey! I paid that pilmple-faced bill months ago! You gotta tell grody Blackhead-Flaced Janice from accounting to update her records! ''{clears screen}'' As for being famous and licensing stuff, you've got it all wrong. You don't need to be famous to liscense stuff. Just look at Biscuitdoughhandsman. He licensed his likeness to a paper towel company—

''{Cut to shot of paper towel roll with pictures of Biscuitdoughhandsman and Basil.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —years ago, but no one knows who the crap he is.

'''OLD LADY:''' Get this, Vera, it's exorbitantly absorbent!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up, lady! ''{cut back to Lappy}'' No, the true sign of being famous is in the ''unlicensed'' stuff! And we're all over that! In fact, we've got our own application process for becoming an officially licensed ''unlicensed'' seller of Strong Bad and The Cheat knock-offs.

''{An application form flies onto the screen with the header "So you wanna be an officially licensed unlicensed seller of Strong Bad & The Cheat knock-offs" and entries for "Name", "Number", and "I'll get back to you".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The main requirements are that the country of manufacture has—

''{"Country of manufacture" page comes up with a country-like shape in the middle. Names keep appearing and being crossed out.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —changed name five times since I was in seventh grade, that you sell your wares from a—

''{"Type of Store" page comes up, with a note "(Circle one)".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —blanket, ''{a "Dirty Blanket" appears and watches fill it}'' or inside a trench coat, ''{A "Dirty Trenchcoat" appears and watches fill it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' that you always refer to the selling of our items—

''{"You gotta yell this" page comes up, with a cartoony figure of a man wearing a snow hat and a table with 4 watches}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —as "numba one bargain!", ''{the phrase appears in a speech bubble}'' and that—

''{"The Two Guys" page comes up with pictures of Strong Bad and The Cheat who are respectively labeled "Strong Bad" and "The Cheater"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —one of us has to have a human nose.

''{Noses appear on both. Cut back to the Lappy with a clear screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' One of our ''{he skips typing the word "our"}'' primary unlicensed licensees is shady daycares. You know, the kind that are open 24 hours and are surrounded by barbed wire.

''{Cut to outside view of Papa Cardgage's PUDDIN' PATCH, where a stylized version of Strong Bad holding a 24 HRS. book, a picture of The Cheat as a mouse with antennae and a honey pot, a human-faced Senor Cardgage saying "I TAKE KIDS", and a cross-eyed monster wearing a "GUFF" T-shirt are drawn. Above the entrance is the word "RESTROOM," which is crossed off.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' They ''love'' to illegally use trademarked characters to earn desperate parents' trust.

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' ''{singing to the tune of "Frère Jacques"}'' Where is Tompkins? Where is Cole Slaw? Here I am!

''{Cut to a rear view of the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, if I ever have kids, I can't wait to drop 'em off at the puddin' patch every morning on my way to the dog tracks!

''{Cut back to the Lappy with a clear screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Another great knock-off is DVDs. The ones that are slight variations of slightly animated kids' movies. The kind they put right next to the check-out line, so Grandma might accidentally mistake it for the real thing. And they have titles like:

''{Cut to an orange background, each movie appears as Strong Bad mentions it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' "The Secret Princess and Her Oppressive Authority Figure 4" and the always popular, "Jungle Animals in Decidedly Non-Jungle Situations". ''{The scene dims}'' Novelty confections have to be my favorite growth sector of the unlicensed merchandise industry,

''{Cut to a box with four "CHEETS".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' like these sugar-crusted marshmallow The Cheats, or this gummi ''{pan up quickly to a Strong Bad shaped blob with a human nose on a stick}'' gel-ular pop, from Strong Badge: The Movie. ''{A logo for said movie appears in the bottom right.}'' And who wouldn't want to rot the teeth ''{The blob disappears, replaced by a "Strong Brush"}'' right out of their kid's head with this spinning Strong Bad sugar toothbrush?

''{The head of the toothbrush spins around until it falls off, revealing a screw}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, Strong Bad, look!

''{Cut to Coach Z and Strong Bad in the computer room. Coach Z is holding a piñata of Strong Bad. Strong Bad turns around to face Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' You're twice!

'''STRONG BAD:''' A Strong Bad piñata!? Where'd you get that?

'''COACH Z:''' Bubs.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bubs!?

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

'''COACH Z:''' Yeah, he's the fella that runs the concession stand—

''{Cut back}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know who he is! He's an unlicensed unlicensed seller! I've been trying to shut him down for years. Come on, The Cheat!

''{He jumps off his stool and runs off the screen, The Cheat follows.}''

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

'''COACH Z:''' Ahhhh, what else?

''{Cut to rear of Bubs' Concession Stand. Bubs is wearing a trench coat and talking to Pom Pom}''

'''BUBS:''' —and I just got in this shipment of Strong Bad brand ferret ointment. ''{Pulls open his coat, revealing merchandise.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{Bubbles}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There he is, The Cheat!

'''BUBS:''' ''{Quickly closes his coat}'' Uh-oh, store's closed.

''{Bubs points to the right, Pom Pom leaves. Strong Bad runs on from the left with The Cheat. Cut to close-up of Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's up with that trench coat, Bubs?

''{Cut back.}''

'''BUBS:''' Oh. Uh... I'm a public flasher!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, right. ''{shakes fist in Bubs' face}'' You ain't got no nudity under there! Open 'er up!

'''BUBS:''' Okay, okay, you got me. ''{Opens his coat again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just as I suspected! Totally legit looking stuff! Where are the human noses? The misspellings? The choking hazards?

'''BUBS:''' That's the kind of stuff I usually sell at the concession stand. ''{closes his coat}'' This is the black market, man!

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, wait a minute. Your shady bootleg operation peddles quality goods, while your legal store front sells dangerous crap?

'''BUBS:''' Exactly. I got a repatation to uphold!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, in that case... Will The Cheat have an adverse reaction to that ferret ointment?

'''BUBS:''' He'll swell up like a balloon.

'''STRONG BAD''' Then give me two cases!

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

''{Cut back to the Lappy with a clear screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, we finally shut down Bubs' operation. And not just because he was an unlicensed unlicensed seller either. Guess what all those piñatas were stuffed full of.... ''{Not typing}'' Homestar?

''{Cut to computer room, Homestar has many cuts on his face, some still with bits of glass protruding from them.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Singing}'' Broken glass, broken glass, broken glass, broken glass.

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That junk was still my best birthdays ever.

**Double [[G]]
**West Paunch
**Guttenberg
*The label on the [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#return to zork|return to zork]]".
*Some of the merchandise depicts [[Strong Bad smiling]].

===Remarks===
*The [[HR:menuswfs/menu_sbemail190.swf|preview image]] for this toon features the scene of Bubs showing his merchandise to Pom Pom (pictured at the top of this page), but all of the products are missing.
*The Strong Bad [[Store Accessories#Beanie Caps|beanie cap]], which is among the items in Bubs' coat, is actually a licensed piece of Strong Bad merchandise, and is sold in the [[store]].
*Strong Bad says "If I ever have kids..." even though in [[secret identity]], he claims to have kids.

*The "Cheets" candies are similar both in name and shape to the chick-shaped marshmallow Easter candies called [[Wikipedia:Peeps|Peeps]].
*The picture of The Cheat as a mouse with antennae is reminiscent of [[Wikipedia:Winnie the Pooh|Winnie the Pooh]], who carried a similar honey pot.
*The cover of "Jungle Animals in Decidedly Non-Jungle Situations" shows The Cheat as a toucan, whose blue plumage and colored beak bear a strong resemblance to [[Wikipedia:Froot Loops|Froot Loops]] mascot [[Wikipedia:Toucan Sam|Toucan Sam]].
*"The Secret Princess and Her Oppressive Authority Figure 4" resembles [[Disney|Walt Disney]]'s ''[[Wikipedia: Cinderella (1950 film)|Cinderella]]''.
*The spinning [[sugar]] toothbrush is a parody of Cap Spin Pop candies. Strong Bad refers to it as a toothbrush becase novelty electric toothbrushes often have cartoon characters, moving parts, and bright colors in order to better appeal to children.

==Transcript==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oh, who's checkin' emails with his pants, who's checkin' emails with his pants! ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Ancient Ruins?</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
Do you know whether or not there are ancient ruins 
buried deep under Strong Badia? 
Thanks, 
Paul M. Pasquella
</blockquote>
''{reads "Pasquella" as "Pathquaya"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Pauly Pasqually, I know for sure there's a lotta ''something'' buried deep under Strong Badia. Mainly cause I rent out the dirt to unsavory characters in need of a place to stash, ditch, or make disappear, the evidence of their choice. ''{clears screen}'' I never really thought that there might be ancient ruins down there, though. I think this calls for America's coolest children's game show consolation prize: the metal detector! ''{music starts playing}''

''{Cut to a blackboard with "SLOP! MESS! QUIZ!" written on it}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And our stupid contestants will receive the Taranchula brand Black Metal Detec-tor! ''{While he speaks, [[Taranchula]]'s logo and the metal detector appear, followed by Videlectrix Kidx logo.}'' From Videlectrix Kidx..sx!

''{Picture of Schenkel McDoo giving an "OK" sign moves in}''

'''SCHENKEL MCDOO:''' ''{voice}'' Yah, guys, maybe find some coin! ''{words appear as he speaks}''

''{Cut to Strong Badia. Strong Bad and the Cheat are standing in a large, shallow depression in the dirt with a shovel nearby. The Cheat is wearing a pith helmet. Strong Bad is using the Taranchula metal detector.}''

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

''{Close up on Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I already told you, man! Where there's ruins, there's riches! And booby-traps we can steal ideas from!

''{Cut back to wide shot}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, let's do thiiiiiiiiiis! ''{ends on a high pitch}''

''{Strong Bad switches on metal detector and moves it around. The metal detector makes heavy metal beats in changing frequency}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, we're getting warm! ''{takes a step forward, the metal detector starts playing a guitar solo}'' We've got something, The Cheat!

''{He steps back and The Cheat sweeps the ground with a small brush. A small red object appears in the dirt.}''

''{Close-up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dropping metal detector}'' It looks like the top of an enormous riches-filled structure! And wait, there's an inscription! ''{leans forward, reading}'' "Col...donesdry..." Must be the name of an ancient civilization!

''{Cut to close-up of Strong Sad in front of the fence}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{raising finger}'' Uh, me again! I think that's just the cap of a bottle of ''{cut to bottle cap in the dirt}'' Cold Ones Dry. You could probably just pick it up.

''{Cut back to wide shot}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What, are you crazy? I'm not touching that thing! It's booby trapped! It'll shoot a bunch of poison-tipped witch doctors at me!

''{Close up of Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Riiiiiight. Or, it's just a bottle cap, and you're crazier than ever.

''{Close up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You may be half right, kid. ''{picks up metal detector}'' Now, help me find some dang riches. ''{cut to wide shot. Strong Bad starts moving the metal detector over the dirt again. The detector makes heavy metal beat in changing frequency.}'' Uh...uh... ''{metal detector plays guitar solo}'' Whoa! ''{Strong Bad drops to the ground}'' Check out this futuristic sheet of paper!

''{Close up of Strong Bad unfolding a sheet of metal foil with a picture of a smiling alien head with arms and legs and the caption "BABBY ALIEN"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. My. Geez. I knew it! Strong Badia was originally colonized by extra-terrestrials! ''{cut to close up of Strong Bad}'' That explains why I'm so brilliant! And why all beings look the same except for slight differences in our foreheads!

''{Cut back to wide shot}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, that's just a piece of tin foil with a picture Strong Mad drew of you when you were little. ''{close up of Strong Sad}'' There's even a petrified chicken nugget in there that he left you. ''{As he talks, shot of Strong Bad pulling said nugget out of a fold in the foil's edge}''

''{Cut back to wide shot}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dropping nugget}'' Quit ruining my ruins, Jurassic Dork! This clearly says "Babby Alien". ''{close up}'' Which is probably the name of my true mother, who left me here as a young larva hundreds of years ago, until someone, I'm guessing an elderly oatmeal enthusiast, unwittingly disturbed my cocoon. ''{As he talks, the scene is described in a thought bubble by Strong Mad-style drawings}'' Oh, Babs! Why did you leave me stranded here?

''{Cut to shot of Bubs standing to the side}''

'''BUBS:''' Oh, sorry about that, Strong Bad. Was I supposed to come earlier?

''{Cut to wide shot of Bubs and Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? No, I said "Babs". ''"Babs".''

'''BUBS:''' Bubs, Babs, whatever. I take what I can get.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whahn?

''{Close up of Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' Anyways, I'm here for my weekly, ''Ahem'', "delivery". ''{indicates barrels of "inTOXICatingly good WASTE" beside him}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, yeah, just bury it wherever. ''{cut to close up}'' But if you uncover any ruins, or hot aliens, or riches, they're mine, OK?

''{Cut to wide shot of Bubs and Strong Bad}''

'''BUBS:''' Uh, what about fellas named Rich?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wha-what? No, I don't know anyone named Rich.

''{Close up of Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' OK, good. ''{extreme close-up, with intensity}'' And he can stay where he is!

''{Wide shot}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, is there anyway I can unhear the last few sentences? ''{close up}'' Or years of my life?

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, no, Pascual Perez, there are no ancient ruins under Strong Badia. Or, at least, not one foot under Strong Badia. Digging is hard, man! Did you ever try to dig a hole? It's not all wipes and montages like in the movies. It takes forever! But who knows what wonders lie, say, one-and-a-half feet beneath Strong Badia? Or, dare I say it, a few feet beneath Strong Badia. Why it staggers the bad imagination.

''{An illustration of what might be a few feet under Strong Badia moves onscreen. After a moment, the [[New Paper]] comes down}''

== What's new link ==
Dunno what i cans do about it, but the link to the sbemail is broked. It links to sbemail.190.html (that is, there's an extra dot). Someone with the privilege needs to fix this right quick. [[User:Telamon|-Telamon]] 06:59, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:Nvm. Fixed. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:02, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
== Blackhead-Flaced Janice ==
Should it be pointed out that Blackhead-Flaced Janice is a joke on the misspelling of Pilmple-faced Bill? Is it possible to over-"over-analyze"?
:Give the [[HRWiki:Standards]] a read. I'd say this qualifies as both obvious and explaining the joke. So... no. [[User:64.198.255.1|64.198.255.1]] 20:21, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

== Homestar's Song ==

although it's similar, the song homestar's singing isn't the one from [[anything]] and [[the paper]]. that one comes from "never-ending story", but this one is different. i don't know where it's from, but i'm still deleting that inside reference. --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 07:03, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:I'm considering the "Sail Away, Sail Away, Sail Away" part of [[Wikipedia:Orinoco Flow|Orinoco Flow]] by [[Wikipedia:Enya|Enya]]? -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 08:48, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
::i can see what you're coming from, but he says the line 4 times instead of three, so i'm guessing it's something else. --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 08:59, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
::It reminds me more of the Hot Hot Heat song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdk8J1OOiJA Bandages], but again he says it four times instead of three. [[User:Stev0|Stev0]] 15:47, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:::Sounds a lot like [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GBn-BpkNsA "Walking on Broken Glass"] by Annie Lennox [[User:Havl|Havl]] 20:57, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
::::That's really not how the song goes at all.[[User:LikeAsItself|LikeAsItself]] 00:15, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
:It sounds to me like the Flintstone kids theme. "Yabba dab yabba dab yabba dabba do" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scpjpz3ReMI FSK]
::Well, apparently, if everyone thinks it's something different, it has to be TTATOT.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 21:16, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:::Not necessarily, because it's possible that all but one of those people are wrong. :)
::::Just to clarify: the song Homestar sings in [[anything]] is the same tune as the themesong from The Neverending Story; that's an objective fact that can be demonstrated by anyone who knows musical notation. If a bunch of people came in saying "I think it sounds like the theme from Night Court!" and "No, it's totally 'Yesterday' by the Beatles!" and "Wait, I could swear I heard that tune in a Bach fugue somewhere" and "Are you sure it isn't from Merzbow's new album?", that wouldn't make it TTATOT. It would still actually be a reference to The Neverending Story, and all those other people would just be wrong.
:::::No, it's not the same. It's starts the same, but the end is different enough to make it obviously not the same.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 08:30, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
::::::I think you misread me. I'm talking about the song in [[anything]] ("The neverending soda"), not the one in [[licensed]]. I was using it as an example of a clear, indisputible reference, to make a more general point about the definition of "TTATOT." This new one isn't a clear, indisputible reference to anything I've heard, although obviously I haven't heard everything.
:::I agree with the Flintstones Kids theme. [[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 22:37, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
::::There are a lot of unsigned posts here, but I am making the judgement that this is a TTATOT connection, and unless a really positive match arises for this to be a parody of, it's not anything. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:51, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
::I think the above people are onto something with the Flintstones Kids theme. For those who have knocked it, to clarify: this is referring to the 90's cartoon show, not the vitamin jingle, which is nothing alike. The idea's not too far-fetched, and we ''know'' TBC have heard of it from the [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7|TGS 7]] commentary. Shall maybe everyone give it a listen to be sure? I'm pulling it out of a decade-old memory here, avoiding listening to the link, and I think it's a fair match. Should they be doing it from memory, like I am, isn't a teeny bit of off-keyness expected? Plus, I mean...it's Homestar. He's flat allthedang time. -- [[User:Onamuji|Onamuji]] 14:14, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
::: Yes, it sounds sort of kind of almost like the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xomL0HKwS0k Flintstone Kids] theme song, but it sounds as much like everything else mentioned above. I vote for TTATOT. [[User:Stev0|Stev0]] 14:57, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
::::The most convincing thing here is "walking on broken glass" which i have never heard, so i don't know if it sounds like it or not, but makes sense as it's ABOUT broken glass... {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:00, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
:::::Check it out. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GBn-BpkNsA "Walking on Broken Glass"] [[User:Havl|Havl]] 18:59, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
::::::I have to go with "Walking on Broken Glass," too. Yes, the tune HR sings has similarities to other tunes as well (which can't really be avoided, it's essentially "three notes, pause, three notes, pause, etc)", taking the subject matter of that song into account, it'd be too big of a coincidence to ignore, imo. -[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 22:35, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
:::::::But "Walking on Broken Glass" goes note, up a note, down a note (ie, same as the first). Homestar's song goes note, note, down a half note (except for the first "Broken glass" which admittedly has almost the same pattern, ie note, up a note, down a half note). [[User:Stev0|Stev0]] 01:42, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
::::::::I agree that it's not exactly the same, which is why I'm actually more hesitant than my first post makes me out to be, looking at it again. -[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 03:15, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::Juys. I'm that age where I know all these tunes. It's not any of them. At all. Trust me. I cannot yet divine what, if anything, that tune refers to. (Are you aware I perform and figure out songs professionally?) {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:04, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
::::::::::your job is to figure out what songs are being lampooned by others? huh. at any rate, no, i don't think most people were aware. --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 05:01, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

=="Human noses?"==

Does Strong Bad imply that he is not human? Has this ever happened before?
:I was wondering about that myself. I know it was in a quick joke, and may not hold a lot of weight, but I think something like whether or not you're human isn't something that you casually contradict in a joke with out paying attention. You wouldn't say "It looks just like me except with a human nose" even as a joke, unless it was already given that you weren't human, or at least weren't considered human.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 08:36, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
::well, no matter how you look at it, he ''doesn't'' have a human nose, just like how homestar and the like don't have arms or pants, and those are mentioned all the time, too. i don't think it has much bearing on ''what'' anybody is. --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 08:54, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:::Except he said "human nose". It would have been just like Homestar's arms if he just said "nose". The humor in that, just like the humor in [[fingers]] is adding something to him that he should have but obviously doesn't. It's the same way with the word human. The humor in adding a human nose to him is that he has no nose and he's not human.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 09:00, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
::::Naw, i agree with Neumannz, it's not notable beyond his lack of a visible one, whether he said human or not. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 09:02, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:::::I think that "human" here was intended to mean "realistic". These are not cartoon noses, or animal noses. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 09:08, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
::::::I'm with E.L. Cool on this one. I definitely think he meant shaped noses, with nostrils and a bridge and all that good stuff, as opposed to a simple little ball nose, like the one Stro Bro has on the side of the Puddin' Patch. -- [[User:Onamuji|Onamuji]] 12:57, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
I think this joke has been referenced in [[alternate universe]] before. [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 15:37, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

First, I'm not sure about that description of the Cheat's mural picture. His pudginess and distinctive, if unlabelled, jar of Hunny seem to suggest Winnie the Pooh to me. (The antennae, obviously, are out of place.)

Second, does Coach Z say "You're toys" or "You're twice"? I definitely heard the latter, which I can imagine him saying because he's weird, but the former makes sense too. Any thoughts? -- [[User:Onamuji|Onamuji]] 12:54, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:yeah, i hear "twice" ---[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 16:06, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
::I originally heard it as "toys" (and put it that way in the subtitles), but it now seems closer to "twice", even with Coach Z's accent. [[User:ZanderSchubert|ZanderSchubert]] 23:06, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:::I heard"toys" or "twoise". [[User:Justin Master of Nature|[[User:Justin Master of Nature|Master of Nature]]]] 19:29, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
:"Twice" would make a lot of sense, as there are two Strong Bads in the room. One is, admittedly, a pinata.

== Shut up, lady! ==

Have this voice and Strong Bad's response appeared enough times now for us to consider it a running gag? I know it occurred in [[bottom 10]], and I think one other...though I wouldn't swear to it. -- [[User:Onamuji|Onamuji]] 12:59, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:as noted in inside references, the second one was [[your funeral]]. i don't know enough about the rules of running gags to say whether this should be considered one. --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 16:12, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

: I think "Shut up, Lady" should be considered a running gag. Three instances have warranted others to be added if my memory serves my correctly. The fact we've seen it in 3 toons set far apart from each other tells me that TBC find it funny and would add it into future toons. [[User:Stribbs|Stribbs]] 17:34, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

== Gunkistan? ==

Why got the Facts about Gunkistan being a portmanteau and a inside reference to Gunk Iller deleted?

:It may be because they're wrong...The portmanteau is less obviously incorrect, but technically -stan and is a suffix, a word in some language (Arabic) meaning "land," which is why it's used at the end of so many countries (Afghanistan = Land of the Afghanis, Kazakhstan = Land of the Kazakhs, etc.). This would make it not a portmanteau. As for the other one, being a reference to the Gunk Iller, I see no reason why this was up there in the first place. Gunk is a very common term for any gross, ambiguous substance.

::I disagree with you on the portmanteau subject. if you look at the [[Portmanteaus]] page you'll notice "Millionzoic", "Tenthennial" and "Geographist", all words with a general suffix. Gunkistan should be there too. Maybe I was a little off by saying that it's in particular park Pakistan, but that's the only country that have the letter K to form -kistan (Gun-Kistan). I'm not readding it still so it won't start to be and edit war, but I think it should be discussed. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 21:59, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

::::Ok, there's no Kyrkistan, but [[Wikipedia:-stan#Countries|there are]] Tajikistan and Uzbekistan as countries (as well as some made up ones in the section below). Is anyone else objecting to this fun fact? It's not TTATOT because of the many countries, but it's a reference to -stan in general. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 16:47, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

== Two things ==
1.) Are we sure Homestar is singing "broken glass?" because I heard "working class". 2.) Will the shady daycare be haunting anybody else's nightmares or just mine?

:"Working Class" makes no sense. The pinatas were filled with broken glass as evidenced by the multiple lacerations and shards on Homestar's face. Since Strong Bad asked Homestar to reveal what was contained there-in. In true Homestar way he sung it. [[User:Stribbs|Stribbs]] 17:37, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:1) definitely broken glass, 2) just yours --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 17:51, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

:"Working Class" makes so much more sense that its more than a little surprising that someone would post it. The fact that they did it anonymously makes me wonder if it was another trollish post designed to incite an argument. Its a wonder that someone didn't call this person names. -[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]]

[[Image:Toucans.png|thumb|fourcans]]
<blockquote>The cover of "Jungle Animals in Decidedly Non-Jungle Situations" has a variation of The Cheat similar to The Lion King (The Cheat resembles Zazu) and Toucan Sam, mascot of Froot Loops. The other is Cinderella.</blockquote> This is in desperate need of rewording, but first we need to decide what we're doing with it. It can't be Zazu and Toucan Sam. Isn't that TTATOT? I don't really think it's either. It's just a toucan. A random jungle animal. Also, are we sure the other DVD is a play on Cinderella? It seems likely, but not certain. But if so, it needs to be worded better.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 21:01, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

::I think the refernce to Zazu can go, but Toucan Sam should stay.

== Bioshock Reference? ==

Does the singing child at the daycare remind anyone else of the 2nd little sister sighting in Bioshock? The little sister is heard singing a song to the same tune, in a very creepy way. The fact that they're both singing the same tune, both children and the fact that it is very creepy in both cases suggests a reference, no?

:Senor Cardgage is not a child. And it's a common kid's tune. And Senor is always creepy, so it might not be a reference. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:31, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Anyone else think that Homestar calling the swollen, floating The Cheat an "Ugly Bird" is a reference to... um... the one other email (I forget which one) where Homestar called a swollen, floating The Cheat an "Ugly Bird?"
: Someone else sure does, thats why they mentioned it in the article: ''The Easter egg where Homestar sees The Cheat float by and thinks he's an ugly bird is a reference to helium. '' -[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]]

:::: Strong Bad makes it clear what these are and why they ''vaguely'' resemble Disney movies: "The ones that are slight variations of slightly animated kids' movies. The kind they put right next to the check-out line, so Grandma might accidentally mistake it for the real thing." When Disney releases an animated movie, knock-off companies rush their own ultracheap adaptations of the public domain source to the stores while the big budget version's still in theaters in order to get kids and grandmas to get all excited seeing "Aladdin" (or whatever) in the store and buy it. Go look at the cheap movie bin at a drugstore or the supermarket checkout racks sometime if you've never seen these. Not Bothering To Make An Account, 37:94 Forty-Terst Decembuary 20X8.
For reasons I can no longer remember, I originally thought the "4" in the title of the Cinderella parody was a reference to the fact Disney made a Cinderella 3 last year. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 00:34, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
:Could be a reference to all the crappy sequals to old movies that they came out with for the past few years, cinderella 2 and 3 (and 4?) among them... {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:36, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Strong Bad as a ''lion'' with a (king's?) ''crown'' makes me think it's supposed to be The Lion King. Of course, The Cheat looks a whole lot more like Toucan Sam than Zazu ... Maybe it's an amalgam of several things. (I certainly don't see TaleSpin, though!)

All this opinion on which real-world movie this is it, can only make you more understand the joke. The DVDs are almost one thing, but not quite the other. Almost like Cardgage's speech.

::That's what I was thinking too. It's a lollipop, not a toothbrush. Evidence: electric toothbrushes don't spin like that, there is no evidence of bristles of any kind, it's extremely lollipop-shaped, and the usage of words like "rot the teeth out of" and "sugar". Also, given the other unlicensed merch (and unlicensed merch in general), a spinning lollipop fits much better than a toothbrush. As such, the explanation about novelty toothbrushes should either be reworded or outright destroyed. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:52, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

So... that shot from the back of Strong Bad's computer? Yeah, there's definitely no phone or ethernet line connected back there, nor is there any card in his PCMCIA slot (not that I'd think the lappy was wifi-capable, anyway...) so I can only assume Strong Bad is not actually connected to the Internet.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' This email is making fun of you.

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Bottom 10</div>
To Weak Bad 
What is your bottom 10?
 
From someone stronger than you</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, this person made all kinds of typos. Lemme type this...

''{He changes "Weak Bad" to "Strong Bad".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' They forgot this...

''{He adds "the Good Dancer" after "Strong Bad".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' They got this wrong...

''{He changes "Someone stronger than you" to "Someone that is ''a girl''" with the phrase "a girl" italicized and in pink.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, there we go! ''{typing}'' Oh, Simone! You seem like a ''{in pink}'' ''really'' nice girl, so I'll answer your question ''{in pink}'' ''relatively'' free of charge. "Strong Bad's Bottom 10" is as follows:

''{Cut to Strong Badia. The "Strong Bad's Bottom 10" Logo flies in from the top of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Number Ten is easy. Dry T-Shirt Contests.

''{A Dry T-Shirt contest flyer for J. Stumblers Bar and Sometimes Grill flies in from the top.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You'll never find a more degrading contest or a larger waste of not water.

''{The flyer flies away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Creeping in at Numbah Nine is that horrible painting that's been in Strong Mad's closet since we were little.

The Jibblies <nowiki>*</nowiki>Not in bottom 10 ''in gray}'' on my Bottom 10. ''{Number eleven slides out of frame.

''{Cut to the computer room. Strong Bad is preparing to answer an email.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Back out of my way, so I can check some email.

''{Strong Bad presses enter, and the email appears. However, the subject line fills up the screen, consisting entirely of "Fwd:" and "Re:". The subject line continues scrolling while Strong Bad talks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, great. Let me guess: ''{in a mocking voice}'' "It's true! You saw it on the news!" Or, "Hey, sounds crazy, but thought it was worth a shot!"

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, a shot in the face, maybe. Now, Seven is something that's been going on for ''way'' too long. Miniaturized versions of already bite-sized food.

'''MARSHIE:''' Yowza! Guess who birfday it is! ''{a question mark appears}'' Mine!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Keep on huggin' it. Hug it down.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't even like this tree that much.

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

''{Homestar stops and turns around again, looking on in confusion as Strong Bad begins to make vomiting noises. Cut to the Lappy, which has the Bottom 10 displayed, where Strong Bad then vomits onto his keyboard, off camera.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh. Ugh. ''{weakly}'' And the Number One item on Strong Bad's Bottom 10 is... Th ''{typing}'' cleaning up your own puke off the keyboard.

== Fun Facts ==

===Strong Bad's Bottom 10===
*The bottom 10 as typed on the Lappy:

<blockquote class="lappy email">
1. Thcleaning up your own puke off the keyboard 
2. Songs that try to pass off la la's, na na's, and doot do's 
    as legit lyrics 
3. Giving chocloate  desserts dangerous names 
4. There was this one time I had to hug a tree 
5. Um...not pigeons 
6. Foul stench of wet The Cheat 
7. Miniaturized versions of already bite-sized food 
8. Emails with more than 1 fwd: or re: in the subject line 
9. That horrible painting in Strong Mad's closet 
10. Dry t-shirt contests</blockquote>

===Explanations===
*An email forwarded because it was "on the news" or "worth a shot" is a reference to a myriad of urban legends, in particular the [http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/nothing/billgate.asp something-for-nothing forward hoax].
*"Miniaturized versions of already bite-sized food" include such items as Ritz [http://www.nabiscoworld.com/ritzbits/ Bits], M&M's [http://www.mms.com/us/about/products/minis/ Minis], Hershey's Bites, and M&M/Mars' Pop'ables.
* Real life "songs that try to pass off la la's, na na's, and doot do's as legit lyrics" include "[http://www.songfacts.com/detail.lasso?id=713 Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye]" by [[Wikipedia:Steam (band)|Steam]], "[[Wikipedia:Hey Jude|Hey Jude]]" by [[Wikipedia:The Beatles|The Beatles]], and [[Wikipedia:Cannibal & the Headhunters|Cannibal & the Headhunters]]' rendition of "[[Wikipedia:Land of a Thousand Dances|Land of a Thousand Dances]]". 
*Limozeen's song is likely a reference on the recent [[Wikipedia:Live 8|Live 8]] or older [[Wikipedia:Live Aid|Live Aid]] concerts/albums. The title "Feed the Childrens" is also similar to the "Feed the Children" songs played at these events.
*Chocolate desserts with dangerous names include desserts like [http://www.apricot.com/Food/DeathByChocolate.html Death by Chocolate], [http://www.aswaseattle.com/images/DA_ChocolateSuicide.jpg Chocolate Suicide], and [http://www.recipesource.com/desserts/chocolate/01/rec0144.html Chocolate Avalanche]. 

===Trivia===
*When viewing the Flash file, the sign on Strong Mad's closet reads "STRONG MAD RD."
*This is the first email without any clickable Easter eggs since Email #39, [[property of ones]].
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#wraith|wraith]]".

===Remarks===
*One of the two brownies pictured in Chocozuma's Revenge is [[Food Still In Peel or Package|still inside its wrapper]]. The [[pudding]] on top is also still in its container.
*Strong Bad possibly makes a grammatical error when he writes "la la's, na na's, and doot do's:" the use of apostrophes makes these words possessive, not plural, unless their coherence is threatened by the apostrophes' absence.
*Strong Bad tried to pass off nonsense words as legit lyrics in [[secret recipes]], [[local news]], [[action figure]], [[stupid stuff]], [[monument]], and [[colonization]] (Easter egg).
*Strong Bad can type with puke on his keyboard.
*Strong Bad refers to email with more than one "Fwd:" or "Re:" in the subject line. While this was once a common annoyance, many modern email clients and web email services are sophisticated enough to not prepend these to the subject line if already there.
*Strong Bad [[Fourth Wall Breaks|breaks the fourth wall]] by telling the audience that there's no Easter eggs.
*Strong Bad's opening song, "This email is making fun of you...", is rather ironic considering the subsequent email is making fun of Strong Bad.
*Strong Bad says "[[Shut up, lady]]!"

===Goofs===
*When you click on the Lappy's screen, no ripples come up.
*When you see Strong Bad's list on his normal computer screen in the background, "chocolate" is incorrectly spelled as "chocloate".


===Glitches===
*At the end of the e-mail, the cursor disappears after Strong Bad has typed "I think I see a Fluffy Puff Nibblin in there." It reappears a few seconds before Strong Bad claims there are no Easter eggs.

===Inside References===
*The Marshie commercial pausing at the end is a reference to the [[Character Videos|character videos]].
*The mouth in the marshmallow eating diagram is adapted from [[english paper]] with the battery changed to a marshmallow.
*Homestar's [[buttdance]] is from his [[Homestar Runner#Character Video Transcript|character video]].
*Strong Bad also got the [[jibblies]] in [[your friends]] and [[date]], although not as severely.
*Strong Bad also asked for $7.50 in [[radio]].
*This is another occurence of [[puking]] on the site.
*The three chocolate desserts are examples of [[concoctions]].



===Real-World References===
*Chocolardiac Arrest is a reference to [[Wikipedia:cardiac arrest|cardiac arrest]], the cessation of normal circulation of the blood due to failure of the ventricles of the heart to contract effectively.
*Chocozuma's Revenge is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Montezuma's Revenge|Montezuma's Revenge]], used today to describe travelers' illness, usually gastrointestinal. It was first coined during the Spanish conquest of the [[Wikipedia:Aztec|Aztecs]] in 1519–1520 by [[Wikipedia:Hernan Cortez|Hernán Cortés]]. The debilitating diarrhea that the conquistadors' troops suffered in the jungles of today's [[Wikipedia:Mexico|Mexico]] was attributed to the force of the deposed Aztec ruler, [[Wikipedia:Moctezuma II|Moctezuma II]].
**Chocolardiac and Chocozuma are both [[portmanteaus]].
*The Bottom Ten list is presented in the same manner as the [[Wikipedia:Top Ten|Top Ten list]] on [[Wikipedia:The Late Show with David Letterman|The Late Show with David Letterman]].
**The [[Podstar Runner]] summary for the e-mail is a reference to the way Letterman introduces his Top Ten list. [[wikipedia:Scottsdale, Arizona|Scottsdale, Arizona]] (misspelled with just one "t" in the summary) has, at one point, been an actual "[[wikipedia:Cities that have been David Letterman's Home Office|home office]]" of the list.
*The scene showing The Cheat wet and shivering insinuates that he dove into the glass of water from the ladder. This is most likely a reference to several older cartoons (such as [[Wikipedia:Bugs Bunny|Bugs Bunny]]) where a character did the same thing.

===Fast Forward===
*The Horrible Painting would reappear in pumpkin form in [[More Fan Costumes]], and as the major antagonist in [[Jibblies 2]].
*Strong Bad would similarly ask a lady to [[Shut Up, Lady|shut up]] in [[your funeral]] and [[licensed]].
*The Cheat is wet again in [[DNA Evidence]].
*Strong Bad himself would later sing a song with "Na Nas" as 'legit lyrics' in a song about the [[the S is for Sucks Dragon|S is for Sucks Dragon]] in [[Trogday 08]].

===Commentary Transcript===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]]. [[Matt Chapman]] and [[Karen Wagner]])

'''MIKE:''' We are joined by our sister, Karen Wagner, ''{pronounced in the German manner, with a V}'' famed, uh, composer. Karen Wagner.

'''KAREN:''' Also known as The Sister Chap who takes care everything at the Homestar Store.

'''MIKE:''' That's true. Thanks, Karen. Yeah, thanks Karen.

'''KAREN:''' ''{overlapping}'' You're welcome. And I've been bugging you guys forever to let me do the commentary for Bottom 10.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' So, now's your chance. Make it count. Karen, go!

'''KAREN:''' Okay, I gotta tell you that I like this email. It's my favorite email—

'''MIKE:''' ''{interrupting}'' That's awesome, Karen! All right, Matt, so—

'''KAREN:''' ''{overlapping}'' Because—

'''MIKE:''' —what do you think about this email?

'''KAREN:''' ''Because it's so rich'' and that, that becomes a joke later on.

'''MATT:''' ''{as Strong Bad}'' Shut up, lady.

''{laughter}''

'''MATT:''' You made, uh, there was an old-timey mustache guy that was the, uh, mascot for J. Stumblers originally, Mike.

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

'''MATT:''' I think so. He was kinda like stumbling.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Okay, right.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' The old-timey guy was like wooooah...

'''MIKE:''' Where is he?

'''MATT:''' I dunno. You just drew a picture. You probably got it somewhere.

'''KAREN:''' ''{overlapping}'' I love that monster. Especially—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' That was based on a, um, painting that, uh, my friend Jason Fields had in college that his mom did that he had on the wall of this weird creepy goblin.

'''MATT:''' Well and the thing that it says is, uh, another, yet another thing we owe my friend Neil thousands of dollars for because it's idea number twenty-two that came from Neil. Uh, was— It's the voice of a rocoulm, which is a crook or a criminal and he's a creepy guy that hides in an alley and when you walk by, he says "Come on in here..."

'''KAREN:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' And then you go in there and he mugs you or something.

'''KAREN:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah, that is one of the things to contribute to, attribute to Neil.

''{Marshie comes on}''

'''KAREN:''' Yep, here's another reason why it's ''so rich'' is because it has a little commercial here with um, Marshie and, uh—

'''MATT and MIKE:''' Nibbles.

'''KAREN:''' Nibbles.

'''MIKE:''' Nibbles I made years ago and it was sitting around not being used for anything for a couple years.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I think it got— It reached new lows when M&Ms, when there's a mini-M&M. M&Ms are very small.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''KAREN:''' To begin with.

'''MATT:''' Or like Oreo minis. Or like, Ritz Bits, I feel like were one of the first things. It was just like, but it's a cracker! It's like one and a half inches around, like it's this tiny thing that— If you can't eat that in a bite, then something is wrong with you.

'''KAREN:''' ''{overlapping}'' Too much mouth strain.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. If you are suppose to eat, uh, you know, pieces of sushi that are five times the size of a Ritz Bit in one bite.

'''KAREN:''' Then you can certain eat a whole Ritz in one bite.

'''MATT:''' Exactly.

'''KAREN:''' Okay. All right.

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Was that you doing that pigeon voice?

'''KAREN:''' You guys gotta shut up because I've got to tell you a story about this. You know [[Little Girl]] and I have incorporated this little bit into our daily lives. You do, you add any verb at all. "Keep on doing it. Do it! Do it down!" ''{laughs}'' And Chris hates it.

''{all laugh}''

'''KAREN:''' Okay, here's another thing I gotta tell you guys about. Because this is ''{pause}'' what everybody has to say when there is a rich dessert in front you. You have to say, "Oh, this is rich."

'''MATT:''' Usually, a cheesecake.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''KAREN:''' Right.

'''MIKE:''' This was really fun to make, though. We went over to our— to [[Ryan Sterritt|Ryan]]'s house, actually one night. We just went to the store and bought like 20 dollars worth of chocolate stuff—

'''MATT:''' Uh huh.

'''MIKE:''' —and started piling it on. And then, it was actually really good. We ate it all afterwards.

'''MATT:''' Afterwards, we all ate it.

'''MIKE:''' It was really good. And—

'''KAREN:''' And here's another rich part of this. It's got an appearance by Limozeen.

'''MATT:''' It's true. It's kind of a best, a best of.

'''KAREN:''' And, you know, you got the, um, necessary little a cappella part there.

'''MIKE:''' The breakdown.

'''MATT:''' It just gets the whole crowd, you know.

'''KAREN:''' Clapping at the same time.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' The lights are like flashing along.

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' The lights flash.

'''KAREN:''' Okay, here's another reason—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' I forgot what it is. Oh, yeah.

'''KAREN:''' And the fact that there is another appearance of the Buttdance, you know, she just loves it.

'''MATT:''' It's like—

'''MIKE:''' Let's twist again, like we did last summer. It's a sequel to the song.

'''KAREN:''' Like the rhythm's down your pants.

'''MATT:''' There's a lot of, uh, gross, um, vomit related jokes on our website.

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''MATT:''' I feel like there are. We should probably curb that.

'''MIKE:''' There's— I don't think they're gross. You don't even see it.

'''MATT:''' That's true. We always—

'''KAREN:''' What other one are you talking about?

'''MATT:''' There's, uh, the [[Radio Stations and Shows#The AM Morning "CRUDE" Crew|Stoops and Gusso logo]], one of them is just throwing up.

'''MATT:''' One them—

'''MATT:''' One them has an arrow through their head and one of them is puking. That's what the morning crew is all about.

'''KAREN:''' Oh, and now the one with, uh, Strong Bad says he's—

'''MIKE:''' It's over.

'''KAREN:''' Okay. ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' That's when— When, the paper comes down, you always gotta end it.

'''MATT:''' No wait. Wait!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, is this— Is it still going?

'''KAREN:''' Oh, right, no easter eggs. He's too, he's not up to it. He's not up to it.

'''MATT:''' Hurry up, say what you're gonna say!

'''KAREN:''' Oh, I forget.

'''MIKE:''' Good job.

<blockquote class="lappy email">

What is your bottom 10?
 
From someone stronger than you</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, this person made all kinds of typos. Lemme type this...

''{He changes "Weak Bad" to "Strong Bad".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' They forgot this...

''{He adds "the Good Dancer" after "Strong Bad".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' They got this wrong...

''{He changes "Someone stronger than you" to "Someone that is ''a girl''" with the phrase "a girl" italicized and in pink.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, there we go! ''{typing}'' Oh, Simone! You seem like a ''{in pink}'' ''really'' nice girl, so I'll answer your question ''{in pink}'' ''relatively'' free of charge. "Strong Bad's Bottom 10" is as follows:

''{Cut to Strong Badia. The "Strong Bad's Bottom 10" Logo flies in from the top of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Number Ten is easy. Dry T-Shirt Contests.

''{A Dry T-Shirt contest flyer for J. Stumblers Bar and Sometimes Grill flies in from the top.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You'll never find a more degrading contest or a larger waste of not water.

''{The flyer flies away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Creeping in at Numbah Nine is that horrible painting that's been in Strong Mad's closet since we were little.

''{Dramatic music starts playing, and we cut to the door of Strong Mad's closet. Strong Bad is there, sliding the door open slowly.}''

'''HORRIBLE PAINTING:''' ''{menacing, under its breath}'' Come on in heeeeere.

''{Strong Bad screams and slams the door. He begins flailing around, uttering "jibblie" over and over, almost incoherently. Cut back to Strong Badia.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Incidentally, the jibblies currently occupy Slot number Eleven ''{numbers ten and nine shift up to show'' <nowiki>*</nowiki>11. The Jibblies <nowiki>*</nowiki>Not in bottom 10 ''in gray}'' on my Bottom 10. ''{Number eleven slides out of frame. Ten and nine return to their former positions.}'' Numboo Eight is the one you should ''all'' pay close attention to: Emails with more than one "Fwd:" or "Re:" ''{pronounces "fwd" and "re" as written}'' in the Subject line.

''{Cut to the computer room. Strong Bad is preparing to answer an email.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Back out of my way, so I can check some email.

''{Strong Bad presses enter, and the email appears. However, the subject line fills up the screen, consisting entirely of "Fwd:" and "Re:". The subject line continues scrolling while Strong Bad talks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, great. Let me guess: ''{in a mocking voice}'' "It's true! You saw it on the news!" Or, "Hey, sounds crazy, but thought it was worth a shot!"

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, a shot in the face, maybe. Now, Seven is something that's been going on for ''way'' too long. Miniaturized versions of already bite-sized food.

''{An ad for Fluffy Puff Marshmallows appears.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' Yowza! Guess who birfday it is! ''{a question mark appears}'' Mine!

''{The lights suddenly go out, and Marshie winces in pain as the noise of an electric shock plays. A miniature Marshie walks onto the screen, with Homsar's movement noise.}''

''{A mouth is shown straining at a full-size marshmallow. The caption reads "You Got Mouth Strain?" with a red circle and line "no" symbol drawn through it. The symbol rolls away as the marshmallow changes to a Nibbler. The mouth smiles and the caption reads "Heck No!!"}''

'''NIBBLES:''' I make good earplugs, too.

'''MARSHIE:''' ''{Flies onto the screen and knocks Nibbles away.}'' Get out of here, you little runt! ''{Marshie winces again, causing the electrical shock noise to return. The commercial suddenly pauses, and PAUSE appears on the bottom-left corner of the screen.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' And-a Numba Six-a: the Foul Stench of Wet The Cheat.

''{Cut to The Field. The Cheat is standing there, soaked and shivering. Next to him, is a ladder, a cup, and a sign that says "HIGH DIVES – 5 bucks." Cut back to Strong Badia.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And number Five, um... not... ''{music stops}'' pigeons. ''{a pigeon starts cooing}'' They eat breadcrumbs. Take craps on people. Funny stuff. NUMBER FOUR! ''{music plays again}'' There was this one time where I had to hug a tree.

''{Cut to the field. Strong Bad and Homestar are there, and Strong Bad is hugging a tree.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Keeeep ooon huggin' it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' How did you get me to do this in the first place?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hug it! Hug it!

'''STRONG BAD:''' And why do I continue to do it?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Keep on huggin' it. Hug it down.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't even like this tree that much.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, now we're getting to the good ones. Number Three is the ridiculous trend of giving chocolate desserts dangerous names. You know, like, Chocolardiac Arrest. ''{a picture of Chocolardiac Arrest appears}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or, quite possible the least appetizing name of all time... Chocozuma's Revenge! ''{a picture of Chocozuma's Revenge appears}''

'''LADY:''' ''{Voice}'' This is all fat-free, right?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up, lady! ''{the pictures slide off the top of the screen}'' Slumming in at Number Two are songs that try to pass off la la's, na na's, and doot do's as legit lyrics. As evidenced in Limozeen's bizarrely titled "Feed The Childrens." ''{the album art of "Feed The Childrens" appears}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, no. Not my Bottom 10. My bottom! You know, ''{turns around and starts doing a buttdance, singing}'' buttdance again, like the rhythm's down your pants now!

''{Homestar stops and turns around again, looking on in confusion as Strong Bad begins to make vomiting noises. Cut to the Lappy, which has the Bottom 10 displayed, where Strong Bad then vomits onto his keyboard, off camera.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh. Ugh. ''{weakly}'' And the Number One item on Strong Bad's Bottom 10 is... Th ''{typing}'' cleaning up your own puke off the keyboard. ''{clears the screen}'' Simone, that'll be $7.50. And bring some paper towels. Eww. And some tweezers. I think I see a Fluffy Puff Nibblin in there.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. After about fourteen seconds, the cursor reappears and Strong Bad continues:}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{weakly}'' No, there's no Easter eggs. I... I'm not up to it. Go away.

===Footnote===
# This line, and the ones like it, may be "Hey, hey! Doot doo!"

== Fun Facts ==

===Strong Bad's Bottom 10===
*The bottom 10 as typed on the Lappy:

<blockquote class="lappy email">
1. Thcleaning up your own puke off the keyboard 
2. Songs that try to pass off la la's, na na's, and doot do's 
    as legit lyrics 
3. Giving chocloate  desserts dangerous names 
4. There was this one time I had to hug a tree 
5. Um...not pigeons 
6. Foul stench of wet The Cheat 
7. Miniaturized versions of already bite-sized food 
8. Emails with more than 1 fwd: or re: in the subject line 
9. That horrible painting in Strong Mad's closet 
10. Dry t-shirt contests</blockquote>

===Explanations===
*An email forwarded because it was "on the news" or "worth a shot" is a reference to a myriad of urban legends, in particular the [http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/nothing/billgate.asp something-for-nothing forward hoax].
*"Miniaturized versions of already bite-sized food" include such items as Ritz [http://www.nabiscoworld.com/ritzbits/ Bits], M&M's [http://www.mms.com/us/about/products/minis/ Minis], Hershey's Bites, and M&M/Mars' Pop'ables.
* Real life "songs that try to pass off la la's, na na's, and doot do's as legit lyrics" include "[http://www.songfacts.com/detail.lasso?id=713 Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye]" by [[Wikipedia:Steam (band)|Steam]], "[[Wikipedia:Hey Jude|Hey Jude]]" by [[Wikipedia:The Beatles|The Beatles]], and [[Wikipedia:Cannibal & the Headhunters|Cannibal & the Headhunters]]' rendition of "[[Wikipedia:Land of a Thousand Dances|Land of a Thousand Dances]]". 
*Limozeen's song is likely a reference on the recent [[Wikipedia:Live 8|Live 8]] or older [[Wikipedia:Live Aid|Live Aid]] concerts/albums. The title "Feed the Childrens" is also similar to the "Feed the Children" songs played at these events.
*Chocolate desserts with dangerous names include desserts like [http://www.apricot.com/Food/DeathByChocolate.html Death by Chocolate], [http://www.aswaseattle.com/images/DA_ChocolateSuicide.jpg Chocolate Suicide], and [http://www.recipesource.com/desserts/chocolate/01/rec0144.html Chocolate Avalanche]. 

===Trivia===
*When viewing the Flash file, the sign on Strong Mad's closet reads "STRONG MAD RD."
*This is the first email without any clickable Easter eggs since Email #39, [[property of ones]].
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#wraith|wraith]]".

===Remarks===
*One of the two brownies pictured in Chocozuma's Revenge is [[Food Still In Peel or Package|still inside its wrapper]]. The [[pudding]] on top is also still in its container.
*Strong Bad possibly makes a grammatical error when he writes "la la's, na na's, and doot do's:" the use of apostrophes makes these words possessive, not plural, unless their coherence is threatened by the apostrophes' absence.
*Strong Bad tried to pass off nonsense words as legit lyrics in [[secret recipes]], [[local news]], [[action figure]], [[stupid stuff]], [[monument]], and [[colonization]] (Easter egg).
*Strong Bad can type with puke on his keyboard.
*Strong Bad refers to email with more than one "Fwd:" or "Re:" in the subject line. While this was once a common annoyance, many modern email clients and web email services are sophisticated enough to not prepend these to the subject line if already there.
*Strong Bad [[Fourth Wall Breaks|breaks the fourth wall]] by telling the audience that there's no Easter eggs.
*Strong Bad's opening song, "This email is making fun of you...", is rather ironic considering the subsequent email is making fun of Strong Bad.
*Strong Bad says "Shut up, lady!"

===Goofs===
*When you click on the Lappy's screen, no ripples come up.
*When you see Strong Bad's list on his normal computer screen in the background, "chocolate" is incorrectly spelled as "chocloate".


===Glitches===
*At the end of the e-mail, the cursor disappears after Strong Bad has typed "I think I see a Fluffy Puff Nibblin in there." It reappears a few seconds before Strong Bad claims there are no Easter eggs.

===Inside References===
*The Marshie commercial pausing at the end is a reference to the [[Character Videos|character videos]].
*The mouth in the marshmallow eating diagram is adapted from [[english paper]] with the battery changed to a marshmallow.
*Homestar's [[buttdance]] is from his [[Homestar Runner#Character Video Transcript|character video]].
*Strong Bad also got the [[jibblies]] in [[your friends]] and [[date]], although not as severely.
*Strong Bad also asked for $7.50 in [[radio]].
*This is another occurence of [[puking]] on the site.
*The three chocolate desserts are examples of [[concoctions]].



===Real-World References===
*Chocolardiac Arrest is a reference to [[Wikipedia:cardiac arrest|cardiac arrest]], the cessation of normal circulation of the blood due to failure of the ventricles of the heart to contract effectively.
*Chocozuma's Revenge is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Montezuma's Revenge|Montezuma's Revenge]], used today to describe travelers' illness, usually gastrointestinal. It was first coined during the Spanish conquest of the [[Wikipedia:Aztec|Aztecs]] in 1519–1520 by [[Wikipedia:Hernan Cortez|Hernán Cortés]]. The debilitating diarrhea that the conquistadors' troops suffered in the jungles of today's [[Wikipedia:Mexico|Mexico]] was attributed to the force of the deposed Aztec ruler, [[Wikipedia:Moctezuma II|Moctezuma II]].
**Chocolardiac and Chocozuma are both [[portmanteaus]].
*The Bottom Ten list is presented in the same manner as the [[Wikipedia:Top Ten|Top Ten list]] on [[Wikipedia:The Late Show with David Letterman|The Late Show with David Letterman]].
**The [[Podstar Runner]] summary for the e-mail is a reference to the way Letterman introduces his Top Ten list. [[wikipedia:Scottsdale, Arizona|Scottsdale, Arizona]] (misspelled with just one "t" in the summary) has, at one point, been an actual "[[wikipedia:Cities that have been David Letterman's Home Office|home office]]" of the list.
*The scene showing The Cheat wet and shivering insinuates that he dove into the glass of water from the ladder. This is most likely a reference to several older cartoons (such as [[Wikipedia:Bugs Bunny|Bugs Bunny]]) where a character did the same thing.

===Fast Forward===
*The Horrible Painting would reappear in pumpkin form in [[More Fan Costumes]], and as the major antagonist in [[Jibblies 2]].
*Strong Bad would similarly ask a lady to [[Shut Up, Lady|shut up]] in [[your funeral]] and [[licensed]].
*The Cheat is wet again in [[DNA Evidence]].
*Strong Bad himself would later sing a song with "Na Nas" as 'legit lyrics' in a song about the [[the S is for Sucks Dragon|S is for Sucks Dragon]] in [[Trogday 08]].

===Commentary Transcript===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]]. [[Matt Chapman]] and [[Karen Wagner]])

'''MIKE:''' We are joined by our sister, Karen Wagner, ''{pronounced in the German manner, with a V}'' famed, uh, composer. Karen Wagner.

'''KAREN:''' Also known as The Sister Chap who takes care everything at the Homestar Store.

'''MIKE:''' That's true. Thanks, Karen. Yeah, thanks Karen.

'''KAREN:''' ''{overlapping}'' You're welcome. And I've been bugging you guys forever to let me do the commentary for Bottom 10.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' So, now's your chance. Make it count. Karen, go!

'''KAREN:''' Okay, I gotta tell you that I like this email. It's my favorite email—

'''MIKE:''' ''{interrupting}'' That's awesome, Karen! All right, Matt, so—

'''KAREN:''' ''{overlapping}'' Because—

'''MIKE:''' —what do you think about this email?

'''KAREN:''' ''Because it's so rich'' and that, that becomes a joke later on.

'''MATT:''' ''{as Strong Bad}'' Shut up, lady.

''{laughter}''

'''MATT:''' You made, uh, there was an old-timey mustache guy that was the, uh, mascot for J. Stumblers originally, Mike.

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

'''MATT:''' I think so. He was kinda like stumbling.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Okay, right.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' The old-timey guy was like wooooah...

'''MIKE:''' Where is he?

'''MATT:''' I dunno. You just drew a picture. You probably got it somewhere.

'''KAREN:''' ''{overlapping}'' I love that monster. Especially—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' That was based on a, um, painting that, uh, my friend Jason Fields had in college that his mom did that he had on the wall of this weird creepy goblin.

'''MATT:''' Well and the thing that it says is, uh, another, yet another thing we owe my friend Neil thousands of dollars for because it's idea number twenty-two that came from Neil. Uh, was— It's the voice of a rocoulm, which is a crook or a criminal and he's a creepy guy that hides in an alley and when you walk by, he says "Come on in here..."

'''KAREN:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' And then you go in there and he mugs you or something.

'''KAREN:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah, that is one of the things to contribute to, attribute to Neil.

''{Marshie comes on}''

'''KAREN:''' Yep, here's another reason why it's ''so rich'' is because it has a little commercial here with um, Marshie and, uh—

'''MATT and MIKE:''' Nibbles.

'''KAREN:''' Nibbles.

'''MIKE:''' Nibbles I made years ago and it was sitting around not being used for anything for a couple years.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I think it got— It reached new lows when M&Ms, when there's a mini-M&M. M&Ms are very small.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''KAREN:''' To begin with.

'''MATT:''' Or like Oreo minis. Or like, Ritz Bits, I feel like were one of the first things. It was just like, but it's a cracker! It's like one and a half inches around, like it's this tiny thing that— If you can't eat that in a bite, then something is wrong with you.

'''KAREN:''' ''{overlapping}'' Too much mouth strain.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. If you are suppose to eat, uh, you know, pieces of sushi that are five times the size of a Ritz Bit in one bite.

'''KAREN:''' Then you can certain eat a whole Ritz in one bite.

'''MATT:''' Exactly.

'''KAREN:''' Okay. All right.

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Was that you doing that pigeon voice?

'''KAREN:''' You guys gotta shut up because I've got to tell you a story about this. You know [[Little Girl]] and I have incorporated this little bit into our daily lives. You do, you add any verb at all. "Keep on doing it. Do it! Do it down!" ''{laughs}'' And Chris hates it.

''{all laugh}''

'''KAREN:''' Okay, here's another thing I gotta tell you guys about. Because this is ''{pause}'' what everybody has to say when there is a rich dessert in front you. You have to say, "Oh, this is rich."

'''MATT:''' Usually, a cheesecake.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''KAREN:''' Right.

'''MIKE:''' This was really fun to make, though. We went over to our— to [[Ryan Sterritt|Ryan]]'s house, actually one night. We just went to the store and bought like 20 dollars worth of chocolate stuff—

'''MATT:''' Uh huh.

'''MIKE:''' —and started piling it on. And then, it was actually really good. We ate it all afterwards.

'''MATT:''' Afterwards, we all ate it.

'''MIKE:''' It was really good. And—

'''KAREN:''' And here's another rich part of this. It's got an appearance by Limozeen.

'''MATT:''' It's true. It's kind of a best, a best of.

'''KAREN:''' And, you know, you got the, um, necessary little a cappella part there.

'''MIKE:''' The breakdown.

'''MATT:''' It just gets the whole crowd, you know.

'''KAREN:''' Clapping at the same time.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' The lights are like flashing along.

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' The lights flash.

'''KAREN:''' Okay, here's another reason—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' I forgot what it is. Oh, yeah.

'''KAREN:''' And the fact that there is another appearance of the Buttdance, you know, she just loves it.

'''MATT:''' It's like—

'''MIKE:''' Let's twist again, like we did last summer. It's a sequel to the song.

'''KAREN:''' Like the rhythm's down your pants.

'''MATT:''' There's a lot of, uh, gross, um, vomit related jokes on our website.

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''MATT:''' I feel like there are. We should probably curb that.

'''MIKE:''' There's— I don't think they're gross. You don't even see it.

'''MATT:''' That's true. We always—

'''KAREN:''' What other one are you talking about?

'''MATT:''' There's, uh, the [[Radio Stations and Shows#The AM Morning "CRUDE" Crew|Stoops and Gusso logo]], one of them is just throwing up.

'''MATT:''' One them—

'''MATT:''' One them has an arrow through their head and one of them is puking. That's what the morning crew is all about.

'''KAREN:''' Oh, and now the one with, uh, Strong Bad says he's—

'''MIKE:''' It's over.

'''KAREN:''' Okay. ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' That's when— When, the paper comes down, you always gotta end it.

'''MATT:''' No wait. Wait!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, is this— Is it still going?

'''KAREN:''' Oh, right, no easter eggs. He's too, he's not up to it. He's not up to it.

'''MATT:''' Hurry up, say what you're gonna say!

'''KAREN:''' Oh, I forget.

'''MIKE:''' Good job.

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Save the gross stuff up at the back of your throat, and hock it at an unsuspecting email. ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: famous</div>
Ok Strong Bad, you and the Cheat are like famous now, 
but why haven't you licensed anything yet? Like where's the 
strong Bad novels and fluffy pillows, I need more Strong 
Bad in my day, come on man help me out! 
From yours truly 
Pilmple-Faced Bill from receiving
</blockquote>
''{reads "Pilmple-Faced Bill" as written}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey! I paid that pilmple-faced bill months ago! You gotta tell grody Blackhead-Flaced Janice from accounting to update her records! ''{clears screen}'' As for being famous and licensing stuff, you've got it all wrong. You don't need to be famous to liscense stuff. Just look at Biscuitdoughhandsman. He licensed his likeness to a paper towel company—

''{Cut to shot of paper towel roll with pictures of Biscuitdoughhandsman and Basil.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —years ago, but no one knows who the crap he is.

'''OLD LADY:''' Get this, Vera, it's exorbitantly absorbent!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up, lady! ''{cut back to Lappy}'' No, the true sign of being famous is in the ''unlicensed'' stuff! And we're all over that! In fact, we've got our own application process for becoming an officially licensed ''unlicensed'' seller of Strong Bad and The Cheat knock-offs.

''{An application form flies onto the screen with the header "So you wanna be an officially licensed unlicensed seller of Strong Bad & The Cheat knock-offs" and entries for "Name", "Number", and "I'll get back to you".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The main requirements are that the country of manufacture has—

''{"Country of manufacture" page comes up with a country-like shape in the middle. Names keep appearing and being crossed out.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —changed name five times since I was in seventh grade, that you sell your wares from a—

''{"Type of Store" page comes up, with a note "(Circle one)".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —blanket, ''{a "Dirty Blanket" appears and watches fill it}'' or inside a trench coat, ''{A "Dirty Trenchcoat" appears and watches fill it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' that you always refer to the selling of our items—

''{"You gotta yell this" page comes up, with a cartoony figure of a man and a table with 4 watches}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —as "numba one bargain!", ''{the phrase appears in a speech bubble}'' and that—

''{"The Two Guys" page comes up with pictures of Strong Bad and The Cheat}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —one of us has to have a human nose.

''{Noses appear on both. Cut back to the Lappy with a clear screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' One of our ''{he skips typing the word "our"}'' primary unlicensed licensees is shady daycares. You know, the kind that are open 24 hours and are surrounded by barbed wire.

''{Cut to outside view of Papa Cardgage's PUDDIN' PATCH, where a stylized version of Strong Bad holding a 24 HRS. book, a picture of The Cheat as a mouse with antennae and a honey pot, a human-faced Senor Cardgage saying "I TAKE KIDS", and a cross-eyed monster wearing a "GUFF" T-shirt are drawn. Above the entrance is the word "RESTROOM," which is crossed off.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' They ''love'' to illegally use trademarked characters to earn desperate parents' trust.

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' ''{singing to the tune of "Frère Jacques"}'' Where is Tompkins? Where is Cole Slaw? Here I am!

''{Cut to a rear view of the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, if I ever have kids, I can't wait to drop 'em off at the puddin' patch every morning on my way to the dog tracks!

''{Cut back to the Lappy with a clear screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Another great knock-off is DVDs. The ones that are slight variations of slightly animated kids' movies. The kind they put right next to the check-out line, so Grandma might accidentally mistake it for the real thing. And they have titles like:

''{Cut to an orange background, each movie appears as Strong Bad mentions it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' "The Secret Princess and Her Oppressive Authority Figure 4" and the always popular, "Jungle Animals in Decidedly Non-Jungle Situations". ''{The scene dims}'' Novelty confections have to be my favorite growth sector of the unlicensed merchandise industry,

''{Cut to a box with four "CHEETS".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' like these sugar-crusted marshmallow The Cheats, or this gummi ''{pan up quickly to a Strong Bad shaped blob with a human nose on a stick}'' gel-ular pop, from Strong Badge: The Movie. ''{A logo for said movie appears in the bottom right.}'' And who wouldn't want to rot the teeth ''{The blob disappears, replaced by a "Strong Brush"}'' right out of their kid's head with this spinning Strong Bad sugar toothbrush?

''{The head of the toothbrush spins around until it falls off, revealing a screw}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, Strong Bad, look!

''{Cut to Coach Z and Strong Bad in the computer room. Coach Z is holding a piñata of Strong Bad. Strong Bad turns around to face Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' You're twice!

'''STRONG BAD:''' A Strong Bad piñata!? Where'd you get that?

'''COACH Z:''' Bubs.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bubs!?

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

'''COACH Z:''' Yeah, he's the fellow who runs the concession stand—

''{Cut back}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know who he is! He's an unlicensed unlicensed seller! I've been trying to shut him down for years. Come on, The Cheat!

''{He jumps off his stool and runs off the screen, The Cheat follows.}''

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

'''COACH Z:''' Ahhhh, what else?

''{Cut to rear of Bubs' Concession Stand. Bubs is wearing a trench coat and talking to Pom Pom}''

'''BUBS:''' —and I just got in this shipment of Strong Bad brand ferret ointment. ''{Pulls open his coat, revealing merchandise.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{Bubbles}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There he is, The Cheat!

'''BUBS:''' ''{Quickly closes his coat}'' Uh-oh, store's closed.

''{Bubs points to the right, Pom Pom leaves. Strong Bad runs on from the left with The Cheat. Cut to close-up of Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's up with that trench coat, Bubs?

''{Cut back.}''

'''BUBS:''' Oh. Uh... I'm a public flasher!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, right. ''{shakes fist in Bubs' face}'' You ain't got no nudity under there! Open 'er up!

'''BUBS:''' Okay, okay, you got me. ''{Opens his coat again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just as I suspected! Totally legit looking stuff! Where are the human noses? The misspellings? The choking hazards?

'''BUBS:''' That's the kind of stuff I usually sell at the concession stand. ''{closes his coat}'' This is the black market, man!

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, wait a minute. Your shady bootleg operation peddles quality goods, while your legal store front sells dangerous crap?

'''BUBS:''' Exactly. I got a repatation to uphold!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, in that case... Will The Cheat have an adverse reaction to that ferret ointment?

'''BUBS:''' He'll swell up like a balloon.

'''STRONG BAD''' Then give me two cases!

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

''{Cut back to the Lappy with a clear screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, we finally shut down Bubs' operation. And not just because he was an unlicensed unlicensed seller either. Guess what all those piñatas were stuffed full of.... ''{Not typing}'' Homestar?

''{Cut to computer room, Homestar has many cuts on his face, some still with bits of glass protruding from them.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Singing}'' Broken glass, broken glass, broken glass, broken glass.

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That junk was still my best birthdays ever.

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:ShadyDaycares.png|thumb|"Shady Daycares National Park"]]
*During the email, click on the words "shady daycares" to see a [[postcard]] from Shady Daycares National Park.
*After the final bit of dialogue, click on the star on Homestar's shirt to see a scene in the field.
*:''{Homestar is standing, still with his face covered in cuts and glass shards. The Cheat floats across the screen from the left, puffed up like a balloon.}''
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing in the same tune as before}'' Ugly bird, ugly bird, ugly bird, ugly bird...

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*Strong Bad's mention of DVD movie releases refers to the practice of producing cheap versions of public domain stories that are rushed to the shelves to capitalize on the success of major children's releases.
*A flasher is someone who indecently exposes one's own private areas in public.

===Trivia===
*The changing names of the "country of manufacture" are, in order:
**Gunkistan
**East Paunch
**Republic of Wad
**Double [[G]]
**West Paunch
**Guttenberg
*The label on the [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#return to zork|return to zork]]".
*Some of the merchandise depicts [[Strong Bad smiling]].

===Remarks===
*The [[HR:menuswfs/menu_sbemail190.swf|preview image]] for this toon features the scene of Bubs showing his merchandise to Pom Pom (pictured at the top of this page), but all of the products are missing.
*The Strong Bad [[Store Accessories#Beanie Caps|beanie cap]], which is among the items in Bubs' coat, is actually a licensed piece of Strong Bad merchandise, and is sold in the [[store]].
*Strong Bad says "If I ever have kids..." even though in [[secret identity]], he claims to have kids.
*When Bubs shows Pom Pom his merchandise, the legs of the Strong Bad piñatas are below the bottom of the coat, yet they are not visible when his coat is closed.
*Although Bubs says the items in his coat (among which the piñata is visible) are safe, the piñata had broken glass in it.

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad says "One of our primary unlicensed sellers...", he doesn't type the "our".

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad says "[[Shut up, lady]]."
*Strong Bad's mentioning of dog tracks is an example of [[Gambling|gambling]].
*The Easter egg where Homestar sees [[The Cheat Flying]] and thinks he's an ugly bird is a reference to [[helium]].
*Senor Cardgage mentions [[Tompkins]], a character from Teen Girl Squad.
*Homestar's glass-strewn face has [[blood]] coming out of several wounds.
*This email references the fact that Strong Bad has [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Strong Bad's Nose|no visible nose]].
*Homestar says he had the "[[Best/Worst X Ever|best birthdays ever]]".
*Strong Bad dressed as a princess is an instance of [[cross-dressing]].

===Real-World References===
*Senor Cardgage sings to the tune of [[Wikipedia:Frère Jacques|Frère Jacques]]. His version is very similar to the [[Wikipedia:Alternative lyrics to Frère Jacques#Where is Thumbkin?|Where is Thumbkin?]] variation.
*The "Cheets" candies are similar both in name and shape to the chick-shaped marshmallow Easter candies called [[Wikipedia:Peeps|Peeps]].
*The picture of The Cheat as a mouse with antennae is reminiscent of [[Wikipedia:Winnie the Pooh|Winnie the Pooh]], who carried a similar honey pot.
*The cover of "Jungle Animals in Decidedly Non-Jungle Situations" shows The Cheat as a toucan, whose blue plumage and colored beak bear a strong resemblance to [[Wikipedia:Froot Loops|Froot Loops]] mascot [[Wikipedia:Toucan Sam|Toucan Sam]].
*"The Secret Princess and Her Oppressive Authority Figure 4" resembles [[Disney|Walt Disney]]'s ''[[Wikipedia: Cinderella (1950 film)|Cinderella]]''.
*The spinning [[sugar]] toothbrush is a parody of Cap Spin Pop candies. Strong Bad refers to it as a toothbrush becase novelty electric toothbrushes often have cartoon characters, moving parts, and bright colors in order to better appeal to children.

My favorite food is french toast. 
My favorite animal is dragons.

===How I found HR and HRWIKI===

I found Homestarrunner.com from my mom a sometime in 2004. The first cartoon I saw was monster truck (NO OLD PEOPLE ALLOWED!), and the next was dragon.

I found HRWiki in September 2007, because I came up with the idea to google search "poopaw". I got this as the third result, and here I am!

===My [[bottom 10]]===

10. "This guy walked into a bar" jokes. 

9. When nobody flushes...eeeew.

8. When I can't think of something to put in my bottom 10.

7. When an entire conversation is made up of nothing but laughing at Monty Python and the Holy Grail quotes.

6. Trading card games
*except maybe Yu-Gi-Oh. That's fun.
5. Cereal commercials (They're crrrrrrrrap!)

4. Having my computer freeze after an hour's worth of unsaved work.

3. Girly girls
*Especially the ones who think anybody they don't like is gross.
2. People who think you have no idea what you're doing when you're actually ''fixing'' the problem.

1. People who are just plain rude, unfeeling, and have fun making others miserable.

HRWiki:Userboxes

2008-02-29T19:50:08Z

Unbalanced: /* Fun Userboxes */ Added a Nebulon userbox I made

{{shortcut|UB}}
Many users choose to add [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Userboxes|userboxes]] to their user pages. These boxes are arranged in a tower-like formation to give visitors information on the user. The Homestar Runner Wiki has Homestar-specific userboxes that you can add to your user page.

==Directions==
*To begin your userbox tower, type '''<nowiki>{{userboxtop}}</nowiki>'''
*Add userbox blocks by copying and pasting the code listed under "source" below.
*To end your tower, type '''<nowiki>|}</nowiki>'''.
*Your page will not [[HRWiki:Validation committee|validate]] if you add more than one tower. Please include only one tower on your page.
*To change the standard "HRWiki:Userbox" text, type '''<nowiki>{{userboxtop|Text you want to appear}}</nowiki>'''
 
<div style="background:#FFC;padding:8px;border:solid 1px #DC9">

===Important===
'''The standards for what is appropriate for [[HRWiki:User space#What should I avoid?|user pages]] have not changed.''' Please keep these boxes '''positive''' and related to your '''Homestar Runner experience''' (favorite toon, what you like to do ''on the wiki'', etc.). Thank you for remembering what the wiki is about.

Strong Bad's (Mis)use of English

2008-02-29T19:29:18Z

Unbalanced: /* Strong Bad's Made-up Words and Phrases */

Although [[Strong Bad]] is quite obsessive about everyone's [[Poorly Written Emails|spelling, grammar, and punctuation]], he still makes some of the same mistakes himself. Additionally, he has a tendency to make up words during his [[Strong Bad Email|emails]].

== Strong Bad's Mistakes ==

*[[The Luau]] — Strong Bad misspells "you're" as "your" on the invitation to his marshmallow roast.
*[[some kinda robot]] — In his very first email, Strong Bad misspells "before you go to bed" as "before you ''got'' to bed."
*[[i love you]] — ''Fhqwhgads'' is misspelled as ''Fhqwgads'', missing the h in between w and g. This is ironic because Strong Bad [[sibbie|later]] complains about people misspelling it in emails.
*[[i she be]] — Strong Bad types the phrase "all i gotta say..." [[Lowercase i's|The ''i'' isn't capitalized]].
*[[duck pond]] — Unfortunately, Strong Bad misspells ''unfortunately'' as ''unfortunatley''.
*[[band names]] — A space is added before, rather than after, a comma in this email: ''"the easiest way is to ,you know..."''
*[[Greeting Cards]] — Strong Bad types "its" instead of "it's."
*[[dullard]] — Strong Bad incorrectly uses the one-word adjective ''everyday'' instead of the two-word adverb ''every day''.
*[[techno]] — Strong Bad uses the possessive form of its instead of it's in the statement, "well, its not really my style." Ironically, he later lampoons Dan D. through song in [[local news]] for the same mistake.
*[[dragon]] — After demonstrating how to draw Trogdor, Strong Bad says, "Let's see how the other students are doing." However, when he types it, he omits the word ''see''.
*[[interview]] — Strong Bad catches himself using the phrase "more better" in responding to Kerrek.
*[[the show]] — Not only does Strong Bad miss a question mark in this email (''"And what's with that flying mushroom he's always advertising for."''), he also makes two capitalization errors while typing The Cheat's name.
*[[funny]] — At the beginning of the email, Strong Bad misspells the filename of his email client, strongbad_email.exe, as stongbad_email.exe. (This may be a reference to being called "Stong Bad" in [[50 emails]].)
*[[the process]] — After stating that he makes fun of people's poor grammar and spelling, Strong Bad promptly misspells the word ''occasionally'' as ''occassionally.''
*[[monument]] — After explaining that he was distracted by the Thnikkaman, Strong Bad omits a period: "So you can see why I got distracted".
*[[pom pom]] — Strong Bad omits the [[Wiki:umlaut|umlaut]] over the "a" in ''Fräulein'' in his letter to "General and Fraulein Pom Pom." Additionally, he uses an exclamation point rather than a question mark at the end of ''"Poking Pom Pom with a pin while he's on fire!"''
*[[pizzaz]] — The accepted spellings of this email's title, ''pizazz'' and ''pizzazz'', are not used in this email. Strong Bad not only misses this, he even uncharacteristically adopts the misspelling throughout the email.
*[[time capsule]] — Strong Bad types "your hot single Mom" at one point. In this situation, after the possessive "your," mom doesn't need to be capitalized.
*[[part-time job]] — Strong Bad misses neglects to use a question mark or quotation marks at the beginning: "What do you mean do I do anything else besides checking e-mails."
*[[origins]] — Curiously, Strong Bad misspells curiosity as ''curiousity''.
*[[garage sale]] — Strong Bad again unnecessarily capitalizes "mom".
*[[bottom 10]] — Though it is spelled properly in the bottom 10 list, the word ''chocolate'' appears as ''chocloate'' on Strong Bad's monitor at the end of the email.
*[[portrait]] — Strong Bad misplaces a period. "Guess what? Nobody calls you Coolio da Fabio (aka quit making up nicknames for yourself.)" The period should be outside the parentheses, but Strong Bad puts it inside. He also uses a period rather than a question mark at the end of "rich-guy newspapers."
*[[secret identity]] — When Strong Bad asks "have you ever seen The Poopsmith and I...", it should be "The Poopsmith and ''me''".
*[[pop-up]] — Strong Bad types "four year-old." As an adjective for the implied noun "child," it should be written "four-year-old."
*[[unnatural]] — Strong Bad forgets to put a comma after "apostrophes" in "Watch out where you're flinging those apostrophes nobody."
*[[bike thief]] — Strong Bad spells "enough" as "enogh".
*[[web comics]] — Strong Bad ends the sentence "Why can't you just make a...comic" with a period instead of a question mark.
*[[winter pool]] — Strong Bad types "And GUESS HOW THEY PAID HIM?" with a question mark instead of a period or exclamation mark.

== Strong Bad's Made-up Words and Phrases ==
*[[guitar]] — Strong Bad refers to ''trembalos'', which is a mangling of ''[[Wikipedia:tremolo|tremolo]]'', a rapid repetition of the same note, or an alternation between two or more notes.
*[[dragon]] — Strong Bad invents ''burninator'', ''burninate'', and ''burninating'' in order to describe his dragon, [[Trogdor]].
*[[suntan]] — Strong Bad says that the "Ab-Abber" can make him a ''thousandaire''... or, at least, a ''hundredaire''. He also creates the phrase ''[[All up ons]]''. ''Hundredaire'' is also used in [[part-time job]].
*[[kids' book]] — Strong Bad teaches children the word ''fangoriously''.
*[[local news]] — Strong Mad's subtitle, written on an [[index card]], reads "''Sportscarster'' Strong Mad." Strong Bad seems to be the culprit of this misspelling because (A) he threw together the news broadcast and (B) it's his handwriting, as seen in [[dragon]]..
*[[lackey]] — Three words coalesce into one in this email: ''Some the times'' becomes ''somethetimes''.
*[[monument]] — Strong Bad refers to the [[Stop Sign]] as having "all the ''rightness'' of a foot without all the ''footdom'' of a right."
*[[lunch special]] — Strong Bad changes the email "someone" sent to him to end with "Keep on ''tranglin''".
*[[theme park]] — In describing the mascots for [[Strong Bad's Mount RidesPlace! USA]], Strong Bad turns a noun into a verb: ''antic-ing''.
*[[time capsule]] — Strong Bad creates the word ''coolty'' to describe something the people of the future definitely won't doubt about him.
*[[animal]] — The deep sea ''fanglyfish'' is another new invention of Strong Bad's, both literally and physically.
*[[part-time job]] — Strong Bad refers to himself as a ''hundredaire socialite''. ("Hundredaire" was repeated from suntan.)
*[[secret recipes]] — In order to cover up the fact that Strong Bad has a recipe for cooking The Cheat, he invents the countries/cities of ''Bumdumbourge'' and ''Totalslava''. The Cheat, as evidenced by his later [[Wrestleman|reading choices]], doesn't buy it.
*[[best thing]] — Strong Bad claims to be doing ''rrll rrll'' well in this email.
*[[modeling]] — Strong Bad wants to advertise a product called ''Colognac'' (pronnounced Coe-lone-yak). This is a combination of ''cologne'', or men's fragrance, and ''cognac'', a type of distilled liquor.
*[[TrogdorCon '97]] — Strong Bad asks The Cheat if they'll be selling "million-sided ''dies''", rather than the correct plural of ''die'', ''dice''.
*[[bedtime story]] — The words ''dadbysitter'', ''grodalated'' and ''gewd'' are coined in this email.
*[[portrait]] — ''Onwardly'', possibly an adverb form of onward.
*[[highschool]] — Strong Bad greets Patrick, the sender of the email, with ''cowichewa''.
*[[death metal]] — The words ''extracurriculariffic'' and ''geographist'' are coined in this email. (The correct word for ''geographist'' is ''geographer''.)
*[[technology]] — Strong Bad refers to Pom Pom's ''Tellular Cellaphone'' in this email.
*[[pop-up]] — Strong Bad refers to a tab on his ''fleshtangle''. He also mentions ''cornuco-pourri'', probably a portmanteau of ''cornucopia'' and ''potpourri''.
*[[disconnected]] — Strong Bad's disembodied head refers to the actions of his headless body as ''revolutin'.''
*[[candy product]] — Strong Bad says that when you eat his candy bar, you'll feel like you got ''[[SBLOUNSKCHED!]]'' He also refers to a product in his candy bar as a ''crispety cookety'' log.
*[[alternate universe]] — Although the term was originally coined by [[Strong Sad]] in [[Sbemail 150?!?]], Strong Bad refers to this email as his ''sesquicentenn-email''.
*[[senior prom]] — Strong Bad refers to his ''pantsing'' plan as ''masterdly'', a [[portmanteau]] of "master" plan and "dastardly".
*[[fan club]] — In Strong Bad's fan fiction, Strong Sad got "ENGSMSPLODED out of nowhere" by an eight-foot sub sandwich.

Unbalanced: /**/Broken Glass

== What's new link ==
Dunno what i cans do about it, but the link to the sbemail is broked. It links to sbemail.190.html (that is, there's an extra dot). Someone with the privilege needs to fix this right quick. [[User:Telamon|-Telamon]] 06:59, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:Nvm. Fixed. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:02, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
== Blackhead-Flaced Janice ==
Should it be pointed out that Blackhead-Flaced Janice is a joke on the misspelling of Pilmple-faced Bill? Is it possible to over-"over-analyze"?
:Give the [[HRWiki:Standards]] a read. I'd say this qualifies as both obvious and explaining the joke. So... no. [[User:64.198.255.1|64.198.255.1]] 20:21, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

== Homestar's Song ==

although it's similar, the song homestar's singing isn't the one from [[anything]] and [[the paper]]. that one comes from "never-ending story", but this one is different. i don't know where it's from, but i'm still deleting that inside reference. --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 07:03, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:I'm considering the "Sail Away, Sail Away, Sail Away" part of [[Wikipedia:Orinoco Flow|Orinoco Flow]] by [[Wikipedia:Enya|Enya]]? -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 08:48, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
::i can see what you're coming from, but he says the line 4 times instead of three, so i'm guessing it's something else. --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 08:59, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
::It reminds me more of the Hot Hot Heat song [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdk8J1OOiJA Bandages], but again he says it four times instead of three. [[User:Stev0|Stev0]] 15:47, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:::Sounds a lot like [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GBn-BpkNsA "Walking on Broken Glass"] by Annie Lennox [[User:Havl|Havl]] 20:57, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
::::That's really not how the song goes at all.[[User:LikeAsItself|LikeAsItself]] 00:15, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
:It sounds to me like the Flintstone kids theme. "Yabba dab yabba dab yabba dabba do" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scpjpz3ReMI FSK]
::Well, apparently, if everyone thinks it's something different, it has to be TTATOT.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 21:16, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:::Not necessarily, because it's possible that all but one of those people are wrong. :)
::::Just to clarify: the song Homestar sings in [[anything]] is the same tune as the themesong from The Neverending Story; that's an objective fact that can be demonstrated by anyone who knows musical notation. If a bunch of people came in saying "I think it sounds like the theme from Night Court!" and "No, it's totally 'Yesterday' by the Beatles!" and "Wait, I could swear I heard that tune in a Bach fugue somewhere" and "Are you sure it isn't from Merzbow's new album?", that wouldn't make it TTATOT. It would still actually be a reference to The Neverending Story, and all those other people would just be wrong.
:::::No, it's not the same. It's starts the same, but the end is different enough to make it obviously not the same.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 08:30, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
::::::I think you misread me. I'm talking about the song in [[anything]] ("The neverending soda"), not the one in [[licensed]]. I was using it as an example of a clear, indisputible reference, to make a more general point about the definition of "TTATOT." This new one isn't a clear, indisputible reference to anything I've heard, although obviously I haven't heard everything.
:::I agree with the Flintstones Kids theme. [[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 22:37, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
::::There are a lot of unsigned posts here, but I am making the judgement that this is a TTATOT connection, and unless a really positive match arises for this to be a parody of, it's not anything. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:51, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
::I think the above people are onto something with the Flintstones Kids theme. For those who have knocked it, to clarify: this is referring to the 90's cartoon show, not the vitamin jingle, which is nothing alike. The idea's not too far-fetched, and we ''know'' TBC have heard of it from the [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7|TGS 7]] commentary. Shall maybe everyone give it a listen to be sure? I'm pulling it out of a decade-old memory here, avoiding listening to the link, and I think it's a fair match. Should they be doing it from memory, like I am, isn't a teeny bit of off-keyness expected? Plus, I mean...it's Homestar. He's flat allthedang time. -- [[User:Onamuji|Onamuji]] 14:14, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
::: Yes, it sounds sort of kind of almost like the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xomL0HKwS0k Flintstone Kids] theme song, but it sounds as much like everything else mentioned above. I vote for TTATOT. [[User:Stev0|Stev0]] 14:57, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
::::The most convincing thing here is "walking on broken glass" which i have never heard, so i don't know if it sounds like it or not, but makes sense as it's ABOUT broken glass... {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:00, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
:::::Check it out. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GBn-BpkNsA "Walking on Broken Glass"] [[User:Havl|Havl]] 18:59, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
::::::I have to go with "Walking on Broken Glass," too. Yes, the tune HR sings has similarities to other tunes as well (which can't really be avoided, it's essentially "three notes, pause, three notes, pause, etc)", taking the subject matter of that song into account, it'd be too big of a coincidence to ignore, imo. -[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 22:35, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

=="Human noses?"==

Does Strong Bad imply that he is not human? Has this ever happened before?
:I was wondering about that myself. I know it was in a quick joke, and may not hold a lot of weight, but I think something like whether or not you're human isn't something that you casually contradict in a joke with out paying attention. You wouldn't say "It looks just like me except with a human nose" even as a joke, unless it was already given that you weren't human, or at least weren't considered human.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 08:36, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
::well, no matter how you look at it, he ''doesn't'' have a human nose, just like how homestar and the like don't have arms or pants, and those are mentioned all the time, too. i don't think it has much bearing on ''what'' anybody is. --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman]] 08:54, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
:::Except he said "human nose". It would have been just like Homestar's arms if he just said "nose".

== A mousy description? / Coach Z can't talk. ==

First, I'm not sure about that description of the Cheat's mural picture. His pudginess and distinctive, if unlabelled, jar of Hunny seem to suggest Winnie the Pooh to me. (The antennae, obviously, are out of place.)

== Gunkistan? ==

Why got the Facts about Gunkistan being a portmanteau and a inside reference to Gunk Iller deleted?

:It may be because they're wrong...The portmanteau is less obviously incorrect, but technically -stan and is a suffix, a word in some language (Arabic) meaning "land," which is why it's used at the end of so many countries (Afghanistan = Land of the Afghanis, Kazakhstan = Land of the Kazakhs, etc.). This would make it not a portmanteau. As for the other one, being a reference to the Gunk Iller, I see no reason why this was up there in the first place. Gunk is a very common term for any gross, ambiguous substance.

::I disagree with you on the portmanteau subject. if you look at the [[Portmanteaus]] page you'll notice "Millionzoic", "Tenthennial" and "Geographist", all words with a general suffix. Gunkistan should be there too. Maybe I was a little off by saying that it's in particular park Pakistan, but that's the only country that have the letter K to form -kistan (Gun-Kistan).

:"Working Class" makes no sense. The pinatas were filled with broken glass as evidenced by the multiple lacerations and shards on Homestar's face.

:I heard "or." When I first heard it, I assumed it was Homestar pulling together a few phrases that he had heard in relation to giving out personal information in order to form what he though was an intelligent sentence (but which to the rest of us is a complete non sequitur.) It makes less sense from a sentence-structure standpoint, but more sense considering that we are, after all, dealing with Homestar.

== Hilarity Ensues ==

I have a problem with the "Strong Bad's laughter comes from A Jorb Well Done" reference. Two instances of him simply laughing shouldn't be cross-referenced, and I don't don't think the similarity between the two was very strong. After watching the two files, they don't even sound remotely the same. If anything, his laughter would be a reference to crappy sit-coms (a la Brady Bunch) in which the final joke was seemingly gut-busting to the people onscreen so the show could end with a freeze-frame of everyone looking happy.
:But they both are using Strong Bad's insane laughter to make a joke. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 17:08, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
::Those two instances of laughter a) come from completely different things, and b) sound absolutely nothing alike, so how on earth can the reference be that the laughter comes FROM "A Jorb Well Done"? The reference makes no sense. You would have to start cross-referencing anything that was even remotely similar if you accept this as precedent. Every time Homestar falls down? Every time Pom Pom laughs?
:::If it's not an actual reference, then it doesn't belong on this page. If it's the exact sound clip then it should go on [[Sound Effects]], though. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:10, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, it's laughter, seriously, it happens on a reqular basis, whats next, "Hey, he's walking, lets put that in the wiki!"

Can't it be both? I'm going to have to agree with Joshua here. Both the "A Jorb Well Done" laugh and the "isp" laugh both go on for longer than usual, both get high pitched and insane, and both have a zoom up on the face. Not like his normal "Bwa ha ha" routine. Also, I agree that this is a reference to the sitcom laugh, bo only to a certain extent. If there was a laugh at the end of the Brady Bunch, and then the camera focused in on Greg Brady's face and his laugh went on for 30 seconds getting more shrill and higher pitched by the second... well, you got to admit, something's not normal with this Brady Bunch episode. - El Santo, 13:39 PST, 16 May 2006

The sitcom reference is simply refering to that in both (for example) the B.B. and in this email, the characters are reacting to something only mildly amusing in an over-the-top way in the final moments of the show. Strong Bad's laughter in this episode is over-the-top to the nth degree to drive that point home: it's not at all funny, but it's the last joke, so it's HYSTERICAL! Now go back and watch "A Jorb Well Done." Strong Bad is not being over the top. He's not being hysterical. He's just laughing hard, and since back then he was a bad guy, he laughed hardest when it was at someone else's expense. There's nothing at all extreme about that back-in-the-day laugh. He just thought it was really funny. The olden-days laugh doesn't even build up to any hysterics. It starts out that way. The two references simply don't match. They have as much in common with each other as me writing with a pencil and me coloring with a crayon.

== Hampster <nowiki>[sic]</nowiki> Dance? ==

Didn't see a Fun Stuff link, so I'll post it here.

Regarding the comment in Remarks about other characters have Internet access: I need some clarification for my own edification.

== "CD-ROM Cupholder" is a real call! ==

Go to the very bottom of the page on this link:
http://www.rinkworks.com/stupid/cs_cdroms.shtml

You'll notice that the responce homestar gave about the "CD-Rom not being a cupholder" may be a real-world reference. (If for whatever reason you cannot acess the link, here is the text

'''Customer:''' "Hello, is this Tech Support?" 
'''Tech Support:''' "Yes, it is. How may I help you?" 
'''Customer:''' "The cup holder on my PC is broken and I am within my warranty period. How do I go about getting that fixed?" 
'''Tech Support:''' "I'm sorry, but did you say a cup holder?" 
'''Customer:''' "Yes, it's attached to the front of my computer." 
'''Tech Support:''' "Please excuse me if I seem a bit stumped, it's because I am. Did you receive this as part of a promotional, at a trade show? How did you get this cup holder? Does it have any trademark on it?" 
'''Customer:''' "It came with my computer, I don't know anything about a promotion. It just has '4X' on it." 
At this point the Tech Rep had to mute the caller, because he couldn't stand it. The caller had been using the load drawer of the CDROM drive as a cup holder and snapped it off the drive.

== Datum? ==

This might be kind of obscure, or even accidental, but I had a thought that when SB says "Datum sounds good", not only is it a play off of the word (and obviously "that"), but it may be a reference to to cheesy Westerns and the such of the 40s and 50s when the Indians in such films used a dialect in which they would put "um" on the end of english words. Like for example, "He-um heap good man. Mighty brave." And other such nonsense. Did anyone else grow up watching these movies? -- [[User:Paulsint|Paulsint]]
:I never would have thought of that if you hadn't mentioned it, but now that you did, the tone of voice in which he says that line seems a little too "old-West-style Indian" to be coincidence.

::It wasn't just old-style movies; people really did (and do) put an -um (or -im) suffix on the end of words. Only verbs, though.

(I believe you'll find it, for example, in [http://tpi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tok_Pisin Tok Pisin]) I don't know, myself, if actual American Indians ever actually talked like this, but it's a common feature of pidgin Englishes, and thus something that writers of Westerns could have immediately seized upon when trying to write "native talk".

== Possible (obscure) reference during SB's dusk walk ==

I don't know if it really is a reference, but the scene where Strong Bad is silhouetted walking against a dusk background reminds me a lot of the opening sequence to the show [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G4tv.com G4tv.com]. The show was cancelled back in December but the Brothers Chaps have appeared on G4 several times and the reference would be appropriate considering the internet theme of the email. --[[User:68.239.3.215|68.239.3.215]] 02:45, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

== Bubs' other rip offing ways ==

Bubs said that he had 99 ways to rip people off, right? Like in the Broken Compy menu. He possibly ripped off Homestar to buying the Broken Compy. Plus let's not forget Bubs selling the old and borken Tandy to The KOT that wasn't working. So all I'm saying is, what other things that Bubs ripped off from other people?

== GIF Sizes ==

From Remarks: ''The animated gif Strong Bad was downloading was a mere 10 seconds long. An animated GIF that long takes up less than 100 KB. Therefore, his download speed is about 0.0003 Kilobytes/second.''
In this case that estimate may very well be true, but the size of any GIF animation depends on frame count, frame size, and optimization. A ten-second GIF could easily be much larger than 100K if it contained many or large frames. This one does not appear to contain either until the end, when the smooth text implies a greater resolution than had the pixelated rodent. That can probably be ignored, though, since I don't think the Lappy 486's resolution can support text that smooth. It's like that Homestar Hair JPEG Strong Bad pulled up once. Any way, assuming the image is under 100K, there still needs to be some indication that its small size and slow frame rate make it so. -[[User:AndromedaRoach|AndromedaRoach]] 01:37, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
:The GIF (used [http://notrlybreakdancing.ytmnd.com/ here] as the background image) is actually about 150K. So there you go. -[[User:AndromedaRoach|AndromedaRoach]] 01:45, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

The other port might be parallel or pcmcia, and the round port looks like a modern mini-DIN serial connector more than the larger 5 pin DIN connectors that were more common.
:::::No, RJ-45 ports have been around for far longer than the 486. However, I think it's unlikely that he'd be using one. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 21:33, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

== Is this a Matrix reference? ==

When Strong Bad calls tech support:
* We see an old-style telephone
* We hear the ringing bell of an old-style telephone (even though SB is calling ''out'' on his phone, and HR wears a headset that would ''not'' ring like that)
* SB picks up the telephone
* The camera does a blur-pan around the scene

Is my imagination overactive, or is this a deliberate reference to the ''Matrix'' movies?

== Is your Internet Perry running? ==

:''Even though Strong Bad's internet is running slowly, he is able to bring up the email very quickly.''
This keeps getting added to the article as a remark. I don't have a problem with it, but I think it deserves some scrutiny. Let's suppose that Strong Bad's connection is so low-tech that each [[Wikipedia:Symbol (data)|symbol]] can only carry 1 bit of data, meaning his 12 baud is 12 bits per second. Let's further suppose that the email was about 900 bytes (counting headers). With those numbers, it should have taken him 10 minutes to download the message. For dramatic purposes, this kind of realism would be impractical, and it would give away the joke too early. On a less tangible note: I don't believe certain parts of the Homestar Runner universe exist until Strong Bad (via TBC) types them. That is, before Strong Bad pulled the email onto his screen, there was no Datum Center, no Strong Mad literally stealing Strong Bad's bandwidth, no breakdancing rodent.

== Conflict: Who's kitchen is this? ==

The following block was taken from hrwiki article about email #152 “isp”

“Remarks... it is unlikely that the computer has a wireless connection (even though he was able to answer e-mails from under '''Homestar's kitchen''' table in part-time job)”

The next block was taken from hrwiki article about email #121 “part-time job”

{Cut to the lower area of '''Marzipan's kitchen'''. Strong Bad has apparently been checking this e-mail under Marzipan's kitchen table. Homestar walks in, and is holding a tennis ball.}

My thoughts:

Case #1: Homestar's Kitchen

It can be argued that it is not Marzipan's kitchen because there is no sink or cookie jar on the counter behind the table. All known shots of her kitchen have those items. The table is correct with the counters for the mystery kitchen in the Schenectady Crispies commercial seen in email #83 “labor day” (shown in easter egg). If it were Homestar's kitchen, it would explain a lot about why Strong Bad had to get out without being noticed in “part time job.” It would also explain why in the commercial he said “Hope I don't get caught”.

Case #2: Marzipan's Kitchen

It is plausible to say that this is Marzipan's kitchen viewed from the other side of the table, an angle that we never have seen before. If we assert that the mystery kitchens in “labor day” and “part-time job” are the same kitchen, this would indicate that marzipan has identical windows, cupboards, counters, and shelves on both sides of her kitchen (if not for the sink and cookie jar, the room would be symmetrical.) However, this makes us wonder where the microwave (seen in email #93 “army”) is normally kept, since it is not usually next to the cookie jar. Saying it is Marzipan's kitchen also explains why Strong Bad does not want to be caught in it.

Case #3: Strong Bad's Kitchen

We rarely see Strong Bad at Homestar's or Marzipan's house. I doubt that he has much motivation to go there. With it being so rare for Strong Bad to show up in their houses, it seems odd that we should catch him in their kitchens so much and never in his own kitchen. On the other hand, Homestar is at Strong Bad's so often he thinks he lives there (see “flashback”), and there are instances where Homestar cooks at Strong Bad's house (see “jibblies 2” and “secret identity”). In fact, there are several instances where Strong Bad himself cooks, indicating that he must use his own kitchen frequently (see “big white face”, “old comics”, “bug in mouth disease”, and “secret recipes”). If it is unlikely for Strong Bad to be in anyone else's kitchen, it would make sense for him to be in his own during these scenes.
:The closest TBC gave to an actual answer says it's Marzipan's kitchen (from the [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] DVD commentary:
<blockquote>'''MATT:''' They've taken Trivia Time from off of Marzipan and/or Homestar's kitchen shelf. 

'''MIKE:''' I don't think we've really established whose kitchen that is. 

'''MATT:''' I think people assume it's Marzipan's. 

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think it's Marzipan's.</blockquote>

:I heard "or."

== Hilarity Ensues ==

I have a problem with the "Strong Bad's laughter comes from A Jorb Well Done" reference. Two instances of him simply laughing shouldn't be cross-referenced, and I don't don't think the similarity between the two was very strong. After watching the two files, they don't even sound remotely the same. If anything, his laughter would be a reference to crappy sit-coms (a la Brady Bunch) in which the final joke was seemingly gut-busting to the people onscreen so the show could end with a freeze-frame of everyone looking happy.
:But they both are using Strong Bad's insane laughter to make a joke. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 17:08, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
::Those two instances of laughter a) come from completely different things, and b) sound absolutely nothing alike, so how on earth can the reference be that the laughter comes FROM "A Jorb Well Done"? The reference makes no sense. You would have to start cross-referencing anything that was even remotely similar if you accept this as precedent. Every time Homestar falls down? Every time Pom Pom laughs?

Yeah, it's laughter, seriously, it happens on a reqular basis, whats next, "Hey, he's walking, lets put that in the wiki!"

Can't it be both? I'm going to have to agree with Joshua here. Both the "A Jorb Well Done" laugh and the "isp" laugh both go on for longer than usual, both get high pitched and insane, and both have a zoom up on the face. Not like his normal "Bwa ha ha" routine. Also, I agree that this is a reference to the sitcom laugh, bo only to a certain extent. If there was a laugh at the end of the Brady Bunch, and then the camera focused in on Greg Brady's face and his laugh went on for 30 seconds getting more shrill and higher pitched by the second... well, you got to admit, something's not normal with this Brady Bunch episode. - El Santo, 13:39 PST, 16 May 2006

The sitcom reference is simply refering to that in both (for example) the B.B. and in this email, the characters are reacting to something only mildly amusing in an over-the-top way in the final moments of the show. Strong Bad's laughter in this episode is over-the-top to the nth degree to drive that point home: it's not at all funny, but it's the last joke, so it's HYSTERICAL! Now go back and watch "A Jorb Well Done." Strong Bad is not being over the top. He's not being hysterical. He's just laughing hard, and since back then he was a bad guy, he laughed hardest when it was at someone else's expense. There's nothing at all extreme about that back-in-the-day laugh. He just thought it was really funny. The olden-days laugh doesn't even build up to any hysterics. It starts out that way. The two references simply don't match. They have as much in common with each other as me writing with a pencil and me coloring with a crayon.

== Wired Pom Pom? ==

Regarding the comment in Remarks about other characters have Internet access: I need some clarification for my own edification. Pom Pom can obviously check his email through his PDA, but do Palm users need to subscribe to an online service in order to do this, or is it just tacked onto the monthly bill as an add-on, as would happen with someone checking their email through their cell phone?

:It depends; normally a PDA accesses the internet by wirelessly connecting to an ISP, but some work as cell phones too. That being said, the Pom Pilot doesn't look like the phone type. -[[User:Unknownwarrior33|Unknownwarrior33]] 21:49, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

== "CD-ROM Cupholder" is a real call! ==

Go to the very bottom of the page on this link:
http://www.rinkworks.com/stupid/cs_cdroms.shtml

You'll notice that the responce homestar gave about the "CD-Rom not being a cupholder" may be a real-world reference. (If for whatever reason you cannot acess the link, here is the text

'''Customer:''' "Hello, is this Tech Support?" 
'''Tech Support:''' "Yes, it is. How may I help you?" 
'''Customer:''' "The cup holder on my PC is broken and I am within my warranty period. How do I go about getting that fixed?" 
'''Tech Support:''' "I'm sorry, but did you say a cup holder?" 
'''Customer:''' "Yes, it's attached to the front of my computer." 
'''Tech Support:''' "Please excuse me if I seem a bit stumped, it's because I am. Did you receive this as part of a promotional, at a trade show? How did you get this cup holder? Does it have any trademark on it?" 
'''Customer:''' "It came with my computer, I don't know anything about a promotion. It just has '4X' on it." 
At this point the Tech Rep had to mute the caller, because he couldn't stand it. The caller had been using the load drawer of the CDROM drive as a cup holder and snapped it off the drive.

*Customer: "Hi. Is this the Internet?"
...or...
*Customer: "Do you own the Internet?"
...or...
*Customer: "Is this 'Internet' the same as 'www' and do you own that as well?"

Guys, the CD-ROM Cupholder *is* an urban legend. There are no official records of this call actually happening. And it has been quoted in so many different forms, with the joke itself being essentially the same, that you can't really attribute it to anyone in particular. Calling it such on this page is thus appropriate. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 04:29, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

== The incredible vanishing trivia ==

Someone took out the "back of the Lappy" trivia before I could get to it (I can think of seeing it two places at least, in Animal and Part-Time Job), and I had to take out the "This is the first time we see Bub's laughing" one since he laughs with the rest at the end of Labor Day. Well, chuckles, but it's still laughing. Just an FYI.

== Datum? ==

This might be kind of obscure, or even accidental, but I had a thought that when SB says "Datum sounds good", not only is it a play off of the word (and obviously "that"), but it may be a reference to to cheesy Westerns and the such of the 40s and 50s when the Indians in such films used a dialect in which they would put "um" on the end of english words. Like for example, "He-um heap good man. Mighty brave." And other such nonsense. Did anyone else grow up watching these movies? -- [[User:Paulsint|Paulsint]]
:I never would have thought of that if you hadn't mentioned it, but now that you did, the tone of voice in which he says that line seems a little too "old-West-style Indian" to be coincidence.

::It wasn't just old-style movies; people really did (and do) put an -um (or -im) suffix on the end of words. Only verbs, though. It's a transitivity marker (iirc) that shows up in certain pidgin and creole Englishes. (I believe you'll find it, for example, in [http://tpi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tok_Pisin Tok Pisin]) I don't know, myself, if actual American Indians ever actually talked like this, but it's a common feature of pidgin Englishes, and thus something that writers of Westerns could have immediately seized upon when trying to write "native talk".

:::Actually, data's the plural and datum is the singular. Though you almost never hear it used appropriately ("These data are shocking!"). And yes, when Bubs says it first it's kind of a joke about that. We're talking about the tone of voice Strong Bad uses.

== Rodent hand gesture ==

There's a lengthy comment about the rodent's hand gesture being the metal horns, but I think that's wrong. For one, metal horns are always with the fingers pointing up, and the rodent points his hands down several times. It's way more likely that it's just supposed to be a hip-hop hand gesture, completely unrelated to the horns. I can't find a good cite, though, so I haven't changed it. Any kind soul want to help out?

== Possible (obscure) reference during SB's dusk walk ==

I don't know if it really is a reference, but the scene where Strong Bad is silhouetted walking against a dusk background reminds me a lot of the opening sequence to the show [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G4tv.com G4tv.com].

== Bubs' other rip offing ways ==

Bubs said that he had 99 ways to rip people off, right? Like in the Broken Compy menu. He possibly ripped off Homestar to buying the Broken Compy. Plus let's not forget Bubs selling the old and borken Tandy to The KOT that wasn't working. So all I'm saying is, what other things that Bubs ripped off from other people?

== GIF Sizes ==

From Remarks: ''The animated gif Strong Bad was downloading was a mere 10 seconds long. An animated GIF that long takes up less than 100 KB. Therefore, his download speed is about 0.0003 Kilobytes/second.''
In this case that estimate may very well be true, but the size of any GIF animation depends on frame count, frame size, and optimization. A ten-second GIF could easily be much larger than 100K if it contained many or large frames. This one does not appear to contain either until the end, when the smooth text implies a greater resolution than had the pixelated rodent. That can probably be ignored, though, since I don't think the Lappy 486's resolution can support text that smooth. It's like that Homestar Hair JPEG Strong Bad pulled up once. Any way, assuming the image is under 100K, there still needs to be some indication that its small size and slow frame rate make it so. -[[User:AndromedaRoach|AndromedaRoach]] 01:37, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

The other port might be parallel or pcmcia, and the round port looks like a modern mini-DIN serial connector more than the larger 5 pin DIN connectors that were more common.

* We see an old-style telephone
* We hear the ringing bell of an old-style telephone (even though SB is calling ''out'' on his phone, and HR wears a headset that would ''not'' ring like that)
* SB picks up the telephone
* The camera does a blur-pan around the scene

Is my imagination overactive, or is this a deliberate reference to the ''Matrix'' movies?

:''Even though Strong Bad's internet is running slowly, he is able to bring up the email very quickly.''
This keeps getting added to the article as a remark. I don't have a problem with it, but I think it deserves some scrutiny. Let's suppose that Strong Bad's connection is so low-tech that each [[Wikipedia:Symbol (data)|symbol]] can only carry 1 bit of data, meaning his 12 baud is 12 bits per second. Let's further suppose that the email was about 900 bytes (counting headers). With those numbers, it should have taken him 10 minutes to download the message. For dramatic purposes, this kind of realism would be impractical, and it would give away the joke too early. On a less tangible note: I don't believe certain parts of the Homestar Runner universe exist until Strong Bad (via TBC) types them. That is, before Strong Bad pulled the email onto his screen, there was no Datum Center, no Strong Mad literally stealing Strong Bad's bandwidth, no breakdancing rodent. ''After'' Strong Bad types things (and if they fit with established canon), they retroactively exist if necessary. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:32, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

:Nice work, BleedOrange!!! I'm the one who first spotted that that image was the background and added it to the page.

I think the STUFF item about the empty room and the Homestar CD thing closed a little too soon. Shall we reopen? There were only a total of 11 votes. --{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}} 02:49, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
:It was pretty short; but still: 10 to 1 in favor in a very short time, and the one opposer agreed to have it closed. It hardly seems worth the trouble to reopen it when it seems to me there isn't a snowball's chance in Hades it would be declined. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:52, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

== Conflict: Who's kitchen is this? ==

The following block was taken from hrwiki article about email #152 “isp”

“Remarks... it is unlikely that the computer has a wireless connection (even though he was able to answer e-mails from under '''Homestar's kitchen''' table in part-time job)”

The next block was taken from hrwiki article about email #121 “part-time job”

{Cut to the lower area of '''Marzipan's kitchen'''. Strong Bad has apparently been checking this e-mail under Marzipan's kitchen table. Homestar walks in, and is holding a tennis ball.}

My thoughts:

Case #1: Homestar's Kitchen

It can be argued that it is not Marzipan's kitchen because there is no sink or cookie jar on the counter behind the table. All known shots of her kitchen have those items. The table is correct with the counters for the mystery kitchen in the Schenectady Crispies commercial seen in email #83 “labor day” (shown in easter egg). If it were Homestar's kitchen, it would explain a lot about why Strong Bad had to get out without being noticed in “part time job.” It would also explain why in the commercial he said “Hope I don't get caught”.

Case #2: Marzipan's Kitchen

It is plausible to say that this is Marzipan's kitchen viewed from the other side of the table, an angle that we never have seen before. If we assert that the mystery kitchens in “labor day” and “part-time job” are the same kitchen, this would indicate that marzipan has identical windows, cupboards, counters, and shelves on both sides of her kitchen (if not for the sink and cookie jar, the room would be symmetrical.) However, this makes us wonder where the microwave (seen in email #93 “army”) is normally kept, since it is not usually next to the cookie jar. Saying it is Marzipan's kitchen also explains why Strong Bad does not want to be caught in it.

Case #3: Strong Bad's Kitchen

We rarely see Strong Bad at Homestar's or Marzipan's house. I doubt that he has much motivation to go there. With it being so rare for Strong Bad to show up in their houses, it seems odd that we should catch him in their kitchens so much and never in his own kitchen. On the other hand, Homestar is at Strong Bad's so often he thinks he lives there (see “flashback”), and there are instances where Homestar cooks at Strong Bad's house (see “jibblies 2” and “secret identity”). In fact, there are several instances where Strong Bad himself cooks, indicating that he must use his own kitchen frequently (see “big white face”, “old comics”, “bug in mouth disease”, and “secret recipes”). If it is unlikely for Strong Bad to be in anyone else's kitchen, it would make sense for him to be in his own during these scenes.
:The closest TBC gave to an actual answer says it's Marzipan's kitchen (from the [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] DVD commentary:
<blockquote>'''MATT:''' They've taken Trivia Time from off of Marzipan and/or Homestar's kitchen shelf. 

'''MIKE:''' I don't think we've really established whose kitchen that is. 

'''MATT:''' I think people assume it's Marzipan's. 

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think it's Marzipan's.</blockquote>

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Save the gross stuff up at the back of your throat, and hock it at an unsuspecting email. ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: famous</div>
Ok Strong Bad, you and the Cheat are like famous now, 
but why haven't you licensed anything yet? Like where's the 
strong Bad novels and fluffy pillows, I need more Strong 
Bad in my day, come on man help me out! 
From yours truly 
Pilmple-Faced Bill from receiving
</blockquote>
''{reads "Pilmple-Faced Bill" as written}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey! I paid that pilmple-faced bill months ago! You gotta tell grody Blackhead-Flaced Janice from accounting to update her records! ''{clears screen}'' As for being famous and licensing stuff, you've got it all wrong. You don't need to be famous to liscense stuff. Just look at Biscuitdoughhandsman. He licensed his likeness to a paper towel company—

''{Cut to shot of paper towel roll with pictures of Biscuitdoughhandsman and Basil.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —years ago, but no one knows who the crap he is.

'''OLD LADY:''' Get this, Vera, it's exorbitantly absorbent!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up, lady! ''{cut back to Lappy}'' No, the true sign of being famous is in the ''unlicensed'' stuff! And we're all over that! In fact, we've got our own application process for becoming an officially licensed ''unlicensed'' seller of Strong Bad and The Cheat knock-offs.

''{An application form flies onto the screen with the header "So you wanna be an officially licensed unlicensed seller of Strong Bad & The Cheat knock-offs" and entries for "Name", "Number", and "I'll get back to you".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The main requirements are that the country of manufacture has—

''{"Country of manufacture" page comes up with a country-like shape in the middle. Names keep appearing and being crossed out.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —changed name five times since I was in seventh grade, that you sell your wares from a—

''{"Type of Store" page comes up, with a note "(Circle one)".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —blanket, ''{a "Dirty Blanket" appears and watches fill it}'' or inside a trench coat, ''{A "Dirty Trenchcoat" appears and watches fill it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' that you always refer to the selling of our items—

''{"You gotta yell this" page comes up, with a cartoony figure of a man and a table with 4 watches}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —as "numba one bargain!", ''{the phrase appears in a speech bubble}'' and that—

''{"The Two Guys" page comes up with pictures of Strong Bad and The Cheat}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —one of us has to have a human nose.

''{Noses appear on both. Cut back to the Lappy with a clear screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' One of our ''{he skips typing the word "our"}'' primary unlicensed licensees is shady daycares. You know, the kind that are open 24 hours and are surrounded by barbed wire.

''{Cut to outside view of Papa Cardgage's PUDDIN' PATCH, where a stylized version of Strong Bad holding a 24 HRS. book, a picture of The Cheat as a mouse with antennae and a honey pot, a human-faced Senor Cardgage saying "I TAKE KIDS", and a cross-eyed monster wearing a "GUFF" T-shirt are drawn. Above the entrance is the word "RESTROOM," which is crossed off.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' They ''love'' to illegally use trademarked characters to earn desperate parents' trust.

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' ''{singing to the tune of "Frère Jacques"}'' Where is Tompkins? Where is Cole Slaw? Here I am!

''{Cut to a rear view of the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, if I ever have kids, I can't wait to drop 'em off at the puddin' patch every morning on my way to the dog tracks!

''{Cut back to the Lappy with a clear screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Another great knock-off is DVDs. The ones that are slight variations of slightly animated kids' movies. The kind they put right next to the check-out line, so Grandma might accidentally mistake it for the real thing. And they have titles like;

''{Cut to an orange background, each movie appears as Strong Bad mentions it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' "The Secret Princess and Her Oppressive Authority Figure 4" and the always popular, "Jungle Animals in Decidedly Non-Jungle Situations". ''{The scene dims}'' Novelty confections have to be my favorite growth sector of the unlicensed merchandise industry,

''{Cut to a box with four "CHEETS".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' like these sugar-crusted marshmallow The Cheats, or this gummi ''{pan up quickly to a Strong Bad shaped blob with a human nose on a stick}'' gel-ular pop, from Strong Badge: The Movie. ''{A logo for said movie appears in the bottom rights.}'' And who wouldn't want to rot the teeth ''{The blob disappears, replaced by a "Strong Brush"}'' right out of their kid's head with this spinning Strong Bad sugar toothbrush?

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, Strong Bad, look!

''{Cut to Coach Z and Strong Bad in the computer room. Coach Z is holding a piñata of Strong Bad. Strong Bad turns around to face Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' You're twice!

'''STRONG BAD:''' A Strong Bad piñata!? Where'd you get that?

'''COACH Z:''' Bubs.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bubs!?

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

'''COACH Z:''' Yeah, he's the fellow who runs the concession stand—

''{Cut back}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know who he is! He's an unlicensed unlicensed seller! I've been trying to shut him down for years. Come on, The Cheat!

''{He jumps off his stool and runs off the screen, The Cheat follows.}''

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

'''COACH Z:''' Ahhhh, what else?

''{Cut to rear of Bubs' Concession Stand. Bubs is wearing a trench coat and talking to Pom Pom}''

'''BUBS:''' —and I just got in this shipment of Strong Bad brand ferret ointment. ''{Pulls open his coat, revealing merchandise.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{Bubbles}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There he is, The Cheat!

'''BUBS:''' ''{Quickly closes his coat}'' Uh-oh, store's closed.

''{Bubs points to the right, Pom Pom leaves. Strong Bad runs on from the left with The Cheat. Cut to close-up of Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's up with that trench coat, Bubs?

''{Cut back.}''

'''BUBS:''' Oh, uhh... I'm a public flasher!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, right. ''{shakes fist in Bubs' face}'' You ain't got no nudity under there! Open 'er up!

'''BUBS:''' Okay, okay, you got me. ''{Opens his coat again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just as I suspected! Totally legit looking stuff! Where are the human noses? The misspellings? The choking hazards?

'''BUBS:''' That's the kind of stuff I usually sell at the concession stand. ''{closes his coat}'' This is the black market, man!

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, wait a minute. Your shady bootleg operation peddles quality goods, while your legal store front sells dangerous crap?

'''BUBS:''' Exactly. I got a repatation to uphold!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, in that case... Will The Cheat have an adverse reaction to that ferret ointment?

'''BUBS:''' He'll swell up like a balloon.

'''STRONG BAD''' Then give me two cases!

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

''{Cut back to the Lappy with a clear screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, we finally shut down Bubs' operation. And not just because he was an unlicensed unlicensed seller either. Guess what all those piñatas were stuffed full of.... ''{Not typing}'' Homestar?

''{Cut to computer room, Homestar has many cuts on his face, some still with bits of glass protruding from them.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Singing}'' Broken glass, broken glass, broken glass, broken glass.

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That junk was still my best birthdays ever.

==Easter Eggs==
*During the email, click on the words "shady daycares" to see a [[postcard]] from Shady Daycares National Park.
*After the final bit of dialogue, click on the star on Homestar's shirt to see a scene in the field.
*:''{Homestar is standing, still with his face covered in cuts and glass shards. The Cheat floats across the screen from the left, puffed up like a balloon.}''
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing in the same tune as before}'' Ugly bird, ugly bird, ugly bird, ugly bird...

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*One of the many knockoffs is of straight-to-DVD movie releases, in particular the cheap versions of public domain stories that are rushed to the shelves to capitalize on the success of major releases by the likes of Disney.

===Trivia===
*The changing names of the "country of manufacture" are, in order:
**Gunkistan
**East Paunch

===Remarks===
*The [[HR:menuswfs/menu_sbemail190.swf|preview image]] for this toon features the scene of Bubs showing his merchandise to Pom Pom (pictured at the top of this page), but all of the products are missing.
*The Strong Bad [[Store Accessories#Beanie Caps|beanie cap]], which is among the items in Bubs' coat, is actually a licensed piece of Strong Bad merchandise, and is sold in the [[store]].
*Strong Bad says "If I ever have kids..." even though it is strongly suggested that he ''does'' have kids in [[secret identity]].

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad says "[[Shut up, lady]]."
*Strong Bad's mentioning of dog tracks is an example of [[Gambling|gambling]].

*Senor Cardgage mentions [[Tompkins]], a character from Teen Girl Squad.
*Homestar's glass-strewn face has [[blood]] coming out of several wounds.
*This email references the fact that Strong Bad has [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Strong Bad's Nose|no visible nose]].

===Real-World References===
*Senor Cardgage sings to the tune of [[Wikipedia:Frère Jacques|Frère Jacques]] and his version is very similar to the [[Wikipedia:Alternative lyrics to Frère Jacques#Where is Thumbkin?|Where is Thumbkin?]] variation.

===How I found HR and HRWIKI===

I found Homestarrunner.com from my mom a sometime in 2004. The first cartoon I saw was monster truck (NO OLD PEOPLE ALLOWED!), and the next was dragon.

I found HRWiki in September 2007, because I came up with the idea to google search "poopaw". I got this as the third result, and here I am!

===My [[bottom 10]]===

10. "This guy walked into a bar" jokes. 

9. When nobody flushes...eeeew.

8. When I can't think of something to put in my bottom 10.

7. When an entire conversation is made up of nothing but laughing at Monty Python and the Holy Grail quotes.

6. Trading card games
*except maybe Yu-Gi-Oh. That's fun.
5. Cereal commercials (They're crrrrrrrrap!)

4. Having my computer freeze after an hour's worth of unsaved work.

3. Girly girls
*Especially the ones who think anybody they don't like is gross.
2. People who think you have no idea what you're doing when you're actually ''fixing'' the problem.

1. People who are just plain rude, unfeeling, and have fun making others miserable.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Another week, another email scandal! Strong Bad gonna fly off the handle! ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: strong bad email</div>
Hey mr S to the B 
I was wondering what the nightlife is like in strongbadia? 
What kinda hip clubs and fun hotspots are there to 
check out? 
Somekindaguy 
Josh CO 
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Mr" as "mer", "Somekindaguy" as "Soma-keenda-goo-ay" and "Josh CO" as "JoshCO!", adding "makers of funny products and funnier slogans." He also puts emphasis on "kinda" as if "kinda hip" meant "somewhat hip"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, we only have one real fun hotspot. As you may well have already guessed, I am of course talking about

''{Carrot and Kazoo Hill is shown, with Homestar and Stong Sad standing on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Carrot and Kazoo Hill.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{unemotional}'' Whee.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Good times.

''{Back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Man, the hill was jumpin' that night! As far as clubs go, Club Technochocolate is about as kinda hip as it gets! Some towns have party clubs, but we've got our very own bona fide ''pwawty cloughb!''

''{A flyer is shown while music begins to play in the background, which reads: Club Technochocolate / Free Country USA's Premier / PWAWTY CLOUGHB / (Not a place for technological chocolate bars)}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' When I'm going out to the cloughb, I always like to take off ''{Cut to Strong Bad's Bedroom. He is standing in the foreground messing with his shirt.}'' my best shirt! ''{His best shirt is light blue with a tribal mark. He rips it open with a "huah!", popping a button. He begins to spray himself with body spray.}''

''{Camera cuts to Strong Sad, who is leaning in the doorway from the Basement}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Strong Bad, are you putting on body spray?

''{Cut back to Strong Bad, still holding the black can of body spray}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up! Guys don't wear body spray. This is uh... the blood... of slain... warrior... mammoths.

''{Scene darkens}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Of course, the cloughb only lets the freshest clientèle inside. But my name has been laser-etched into the guest list by now.

''{a location somewhere in the Field is shown, at night. Strong Mad is standing behind a velvet-rope as Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' NAME PLEASE!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, man, drop the act! I've gotta get into the pwawty cloughb.

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{holding up a grease-stained Blubb-o's bag}'' YOU'RE NOT ON THE LIST!

'''STRONG BAD:''' The list?! You're looking at a greasy bag of fast food!

'''STRONG MAD:''' DON'T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF! ''{he laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, what? Strong Mad, did you just make a joke?! That was pretty good! Now hows about letting me in?

'''STRONG MAD:''' NAME PLEASE!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh... Spicy Crispy Chicken Melt... Johnson.

'''STRONG MAD:''' NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN, MR. JOHNSON! ''{he unhooks the rope and lets Strong Bad through}''

''{Various Cuts: Club TechnoChocolate. Bubs, Marzipan, and Pom Pom are seen dancing. The Cheat is DJ'ing. Dance music can be heard in the background.}''

'''SINGERS:''' ''{the second singer has a robotic voice, and speaks under the first}'' Smart drinks. These are smart drinks. (These are not smart drinks.) Smart drinks.—

''{Cut to: Club Technochocolate's bar. Strong Bad walks in from our left. Bubs slides in from our right, behind the bar.}''

'''SINGERS:''' ''{Continuing behind the Bubs scene}'' —These are smart drinks. (These are definitely not smart drinks.) Have another round. (Don't have another round.) Have another round! (Do not have another round.) These are smart drinks. (These are not smart drinks.) These are smart drinks. (These are definitely not smart drinks.)

'''BUBS:''' Well, if it isn't my main man Spicy Crispy Chicken Melt.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I need the brightest, glowiest drink in the house.

''{Zoom in on Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' How about a nice Pink Elephant Pants?

''{Zoom out again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll take it!

''{Bubs reaches under the bar, and produces an eyedropper containing a green liquid}''

'''BUBS:''' That'll be $17.50.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! You guys must be having a sale!

''{the edge of the Club Technochocolate dance floor is seen. Marzipan and Strong Sad are standing just off the dance floor. Strong Sad is wearing fishnet gloves.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' You don't look like you're having very much fun, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh I'm having a great time. This is my favorite club to go to, and not dance. Sometimes I'll even ''think'' about dancing, and then not dance. And if I'm feeling ''really'' crazy, I'll actually get out on the dance floor, and bust some fresh not-dancing.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Then how about I start busting some fresh not-hanging-out-with-you.

''{Marzipan walks off. Cut to Strong Bad dancing on the dance floor.}''

'''SINGER:''' Smart drinks. These are smart drinks.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{off-screen}'' Hey Strong Bad.

''{Zoom out. Homestar is standing behind Strong Bad (our left). He looks like he has just woken up, complete with [[cinnamon]], dressing gown, sleeping cap, and [[Nebulon]] slippers. His eyes are closed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, get outta here! I'm doin my matin' dance.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{eyes still closed} {unintelligible}'' more, more...badges.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Because I got more badges than you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, are you asleep?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Because I sold more thin mints than you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, are you asleep and dreaming that you're a girl scout?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No Ma'am, Troop Beverly Hills.

''{The Cheat is DJing in the DJ booth.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' And at some point during the night, we all get "treated" to Coach Z ''{Zoom out, Coach Z with a mic}'' attempting to freestyle.

'''COACH Z:''' One two one two, 'bout to freestyle... One, two? One two?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' I mean... count to two over and over again.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{overlapping}'' Ha, one two one two! Here I go! Hang on, one two.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' And no night at the cloughb would be complete, without me getting tossed out on my leopard print hinders.

''{Back to the entrance. Strong Bad gets tossed out, wearing leopard print underwear. Strong Mad is no longer visible.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's not my fault! It's those light-èd floors! I think my pants are mysteriously drawn to them!

''{Strong Bad's pants get thrown out too. They land on his head and remain unfolded.}''

''{Cut back to Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So that's the nightlife around here, Soma. Of course, there's also the pour rotten milk on Marzipan's prized petunias while she's asleep variety of nightlife as well, but that's another email, for another time. This has been Strong Bad, with Strong Bad E-mail 185 ''{pronounced one eighty-five}''. Thanks for listening.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Smart drink|Smart drinks]] are non-alcoholic drinks made from juice and supplemented with herbal extracts and other ingredients. They were a fad in the rave and club scenes during the '90s.
*A [[Wikipedia:Seeing pink elephants|pink elephant]] is used as a visual shorthand that someone is drunk. There is no standard cocktail called a Pink Elephant ''Pants'', but a [http://www.drinksmixer.com/drink5892.html Pink Elephant] is usually made from gin and grenadine.
*[[Wikipedia:Cacao|Cacao]] is the name for the tree from whose seeds chocolate is made. Indicating the percentage of cacao in a recipe is a common marketing convention for gourmet dark chocolates.
*[[Wikipedia:Sleepwalking|Sleepwalking]] is a nocturnal disorder in which a sleeping individual engages in behavior normally done while awake.
*A [[Wikipedia:Girl Scout cookie|thin mint]] is one of several varieties of cookies sold by [[Wikipedia:Girl Guide and Girl Scout|Girl Scouts]] as a fundraiser for their organization.

===Remarks===
*This cartoon verifies that Strong Bad's bedroom is connected to the basement of the [[house of the Brothers Strong]].
**This is the first time his room appeared in something other than Easter Eggs and Secret Pages.
*In [[Summer Short Shorts]], [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] was located to the right of [[Strong Badia]]. In the Carrot and Kazoo Hill scene of this email, however, the locations are reversed. 
*The Carrot and Kazoo Hill scene has the old round bushes that used to be displayed in The Field.
*Girl Scouts actually are in troops named by numbers; e.g. 577, 581, etc.
*This marks the first time that shows Bubs moving his arms by bending them around other than at the elbows.
*Strong Bad's comment about wearing body spray is another [[blatant lie]].
*When the toons menu preview is viewed on the Wii internet channel, only the back wall and the Club Technochocolate sign are visible. The rest is static.

===Goofs===
*As Strong Bad types "This has been Strong Bad" the text cursor goes outside the Lappy's screen very briefly.
*When Homestar leans back while talking to Strong Bad, you can see a section of his robe has no back for a few frames.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Originally, as Bubs glided in behind the bar, his middle section was elevated slightly above the level of the bar but his legs were noticeably absent. This was fixed by Tuesday.

===Inside References===
*Strong Mad [[Strong Mad smiling|smiles]] after he tells his joke.
*The [[Blubb-o's]] bag features the [[Drive-Thru Whale]]. "Blubb-o" was previously mentioned in the DVD commentary for [[Drive-Thru]].
*Strong Bad is shown wearing leopard-print [[underwear]].
*[[Pants]] and [[alcohol]] figure prominently in the email.
*"Light-èd floors" is another instance of the [[-èd]] pronunciation.
*Strong Bad refers to his body spray as "the [[blood]] of slain warrior mammoths".
*The King of Town's motherboard and sleeping Homestar's kazoo are both [[Eating Non-Food Items|non-food items]] about to be eaten.
*Strong Bad's dance moves and the music that plays when the flyer appears onscreen are both from the Technochocolate scene of [[disconnected]].
*Bubs's dance moves are from [[Dancin' Bubs]].
*Marzipan's dance moves are from the dance contest in [[replacement]].
*Pom Pom's dance moves are from [[geddup noise]].
*Homestar dreaming that he is a Girl Scout is another instance of [[gender confusion]].
*Homestar has [[cinnamon]] on his chin.
*Strong Sad says that Club Technochocolate is his favorite place to go to and [[Not X|not dance]].
*Thin mints were previously mentioned in [[rough copy]].
*When talking to Marzipan about not dancing, Strong Sad [[Strong Sad Smiling|smiles]].
*The motherboard in the King of Town easter egg is the same one seen in [[The System Is Down]]

===Real-World References===
*''[[Wikipedia:Troop Beverly Hills|Troop Beverly Hills]]'' is a 1989 movie starring Shelly Long as a clueless debutante housewife trying to run a Girl Scout troop.
*Homestar Runner is wearing [[Professional Wrestling|professional wrestler]] [[Wikipedia:Roddy Piper|Roddy Piper]]'s "Hot Rod" T-shirt.
*The line "but that's another email, for another time." Is a reference to the novel ''The Neverending Story'' by Michael Ende. The line "But that's another story, for another time." Is used throughout the book, cutting off deviations and tangents to the main narrative.
*Soma is a fictional drug from [[Wikipedia:Aldous Huxley|Aldous Huxley's]] novel [[Wikipedia:Brave New World|Brave New World]].

== a ghostly intro song? ==

when i heard it (even the first line, before the ghost mention) i remember thinking "this tune sounds like something out of [[Wikipedia:Haunted Mansion|The Haunted Mansion]]" but i couldn't place exactly where (G-d it's been a long time...), and then when i heard "a pleasant ghost" it sort of confirmed it for me. Is there anyone who can confirm this? (I could be mistaken and it might be something from some ghost movie or something, just it reminded me of ghosts.) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:27, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
:hmm, doing some further reading, perhaps [[Wikipedia:Grim Grinning Ghosts|Grim Grinning Ghosts]]? I could see "green green grass" being similar enough, but i can't remember the tune, and the sound byte on 'kipedia is too short to be helpful in that regard. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:31, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

==Homsar==

What happened to Homsar? [[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 05:39, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
:What do you mean? He's the same random character he always was. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 05:43, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

::FWIW I've watched the video 6 times, 5 were Homsar -[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 17:22, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
:::That's still possible. The odds of getting five Homsars out of six is 32 to 1, I think. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 22:24, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

== Moronosphere ==

I dispute this funfact: ""Moronosphere" is a [[portmanteau]] of "moron" and [[Wikipedia:Ionosphere|Ionosphere]]." To begin with, it might just as well be Stratosphere, Blogosphere, etc. Also, It's a normal combination of two words after the pattern I've just shown. That's not a portmanteau how we understand it here at the wiki.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 23:58, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
:so you're saying it's "moron" with the suffix "osphere" at the end? makes sense to me. P.S. the IRC community misses you. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:00, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
::Yep. I miss you guys, too. But I don't have the time right now!{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:07, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
:::Doesn't Moronosphere compare, then, to Geographist (described as a combination of "Geographer and -ist (possibly geologist)"). I'd call Moronosphere a portmanteau. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 01:25, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
::::Yeah, just use the same form as Geographist in the entry, then. -[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 02:03, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
::::Since "-ist" isn't a word, I don't think "geographist" counts as a portmanteau. The application of "portmanteau" (originally meaning a large suitcase with two compartments) to words is from "Through the Looking Glass," and Carroll gives it a clear definition there: "Well, slithy means lithe and slimy ... You see it's like a portmanteau—there are two meanings packed up into one word." "Geographist" doesn't fit that definition: it's just a silly variant on "geographer," with only that one meaning. Most of the things listed on the [[Portmanteaus]] page *do* combine two meanings in one word: carve-nival = carve + carnival, loadry = loading + laundry, etc.

== Kingy of town ==

there should a metiontion on the king town page about the fact that king of town alway drawn fatter then he is
:he's always drawn fatter than he is? huh? that's like saying that someone is old for their age. He's drawn the way he's drawn. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:53, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
::hE HAS ROLLS IN HIS BODY IN THE PICTURS THAT MEANS FATTER
:::what pictures? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:00, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
::::This email and Trading cards at lest
First, can we work on the spelling? This isn't a chatroom, we're discussing stuff here and poorly spelled messages don't communicate well. Second, I'm not at all sure what anonny is on about.

::In spite of the unintelligibility of this comment, I think it might just be something worth thinking about. Usually, TBC, in [[Wikipedia:Peanuts (comic)|Peanuts]]-style, intentionally avoid showing anyone's parents. And actually now that I think about it, this is one of quite a few times that parents are shown as inanimate objects. ([[army]], [[The Li'l Brudder Show]]) Maybe someone should make a page about that or something.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 04:01, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

==The Cheat?==
In one scene, The Cheat is sitting at the table participating in the fan club meeting. Very shortly afterward, he is seen helping Strong Bad carry his sub sandwich. Did The Cheat quickly leave off-screen, or is this an example of [[duplicate characters]]? --[[User:68.97.248.84|68.97.248.84]] 06:31, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
:Seems reasonable to be duplicate characters -[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 17:21, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
::It could be either one, so to say it’s one or the other is speculation. I personally just assumed The Cheat got bored with Strong Sad's dumb meeting and went off to see what Strong Bad was up to, which turned out to be carrying a sub sandwich.--{{User:Johnny Jupiter/sig}} 04:13, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
:::I, too, think it's just impressive speed (though not nearly as much as Homestar's in [[No Hands on Deck!]]). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:28, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

==Monteljohn==
Could this be a reference to [[wikipedia: Ricardo Montalban|Ricardo Montalban]], the actor famous for his roles in Fantasy Island, Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, and Freakazoid?
:Nah, it's [[TTATOT]]. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 23:37, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
::No it isn't. Is it that hard to come up with a *real* argument against something instead of lazily throwing around a <nowiki>[[TTATOT]]</nowiki> whenever someone asks if something might be a reference? -{{User:YK/sig}} 00:25, 2 February 2008 (UTC
::::I'll give you it's not technically TTATOT, but it's close. Montel and John are both names in their own right... if it's a serious reference to Ricardo Montalban, then it's just as likely to be a serious reference to [[wikipedia: Montel Williams|Montel Williams]], the talk show host, not to mention anyone named John. I really don't think speculations as to the inspiration for a nonsense name in a non-sequitur belong on the page, regardless. The relevance is questionable at best to begin with, even before we consider that it's just speculation.[[User:Nightsong81|Nightsong81]] 19:22, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
:::::Actually, I'm not necessarily arguing the merit of this fact (I have no opinion one way or the other on it, really, though apparently there *is* another alleged "reference" to Ricardo Montalban elsewhere on the site... Quote of the Week, I think), so much as... well, I'm sick to death of someone (often an anon, though not always) proposing a fun fact, and someone who's not-quite-a-newbie-but-not-quite-an-old-timer shooting it down with a lazy, though nevertheless "Totally Final"-sounding "<nowiki>[[TTATOT]]</nowiki>", without bothering to mention what the "That" or the "The Other Thing" *are*. Now, as Qermaq said, the burden of proof is *usually* on the one proposing the fact... but not always. See, the way the anon worded his original post, it wasn't a cocky-sounding "I think this is a reference to this", it was more like a "What do you think?". In other words, since he *asked*, it seems to me it would be up to someone else to disprove it. And "Nah, it's [[TTATOT]]." is simply not a very convincing argument. -{{User:YK/sig}} 09:01, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
:::I agree. If you can cite me anything else that remotely sounds like Monteljohn, then I'll concede it's probably a TTATOT. Otherwise, I think you need to seriously consider my question and give a reasoned (i.e., not lazy) answer.
:Okay, it looks like the old "TTATOT" excuse is as of right now completely unsupported. If no one can give me a good reason not to, I'm going to add it. I am getting kind of tired of the way references are just tossed out for little to no good reason these days.
::You have been given good reasons why it might easily not be a reference to Montelban. What more do you need? The burden of proof is on you to support this, not us to prove it wrong. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:49, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

== pop-up book = deleteheads? ==

Anyone else think the idea of calling the fan club deleteheads might partially be inspired by the poor quality sound in strong bad's pop-up book? specifically when strong bad repeats the garbled "deleted" as sounding like "the lake head?"
:That's an extreme stretch. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:40, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

== a ghostly intro song? ==

when i heard it (even the first line, before the ghost mention) i remember thinking "this tune sounds like something out of [[Wikipedia:Haunted Mansion|The Haunted Mansion]]" but i couldn't place exactly where (G-d it's been a long time...), and then when i heard "a pleasant ghost" it sort of confirmed it for me. Is there anyone who can confirm this? (I could be mistaken and it might be something from some ghost movie or something, just it reminded me of ghosts.) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:27, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
:hmm, doing some further reading, perhaps [[Wikipedia:Grim Grinning Ghosts|Grim Grinning Ghosts]]? I could see "green green grass" being similar enough, but i can't remember the tune, and the sound byte on 'kipedia is too short to be helpful in that regard. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:31, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

==Homsar==

What happened to Homsar? [[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 05:39, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

== Moronosphere ==

I dispute this funfact: ""Moronosphere" is a [[portmanteau]] of "moron" and [[Wikipedia:Ionosphere|Ionosphere]]." To begin with, it might just as well be Stratosphere, Blogosphere, etc. Also, It's a normal combination of two words after the pattern I've just shown. That's not a portmanteau how we understand it here at the wiki.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 23:58, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
:so you're saying it's "moron" with the suffix "osphere" at the end? makes sense to me. P.S. the IRC community misses you. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:00, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
::Yep. I miss you guys, too. But I don't have the time right now!{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:07, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
:::Doesn't Moronosphere compare, then, to Geographist (described as a combination of "Geographer and -ist (possibly geologist)"). I'd call Moronosphere a portmanteau. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 01:25, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
::::Yeah, just use the same form as Geographist in the entry, then. -[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 02:03, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
::::Since "-ist" isn't a word, I don't think "geographist" counts as a portmanteau. The application of "portmanteau" (originally meaning a large suitcase with two compartments) to words is from "Through the Looking Glass," and Carroll gives it a clear definition there: "Well, slithy means lithe and slimy ... You see it's like a portmanteau—there are two meanings packed up into one word." "Geographist" doesn't fit that definition: it's just a silly variant on "geographer," with only that one meaning. Most of the things listed on the [[Portmanteaus]] page *do* combine two meanings in one word: carve-nival = carve + carnival, loadry = loading + laundry, etc.

== Kingy of town ==

there should a metiontion on the king town page about the fact that king of town alway drawn fatter then he is

::In spite of the unintelligibility of this comment, I think it might just be something worth thinking about. Usually, TBC, in [[Wikipedia:Peanuts (comic)|Peanuts]]-style, intentionally avoid showing anyone's parents. And actually now that I think about it, this is one of quite a few times that parents are shown as inanimate objects.

==The Cheat?==
In one scene, The Cheat is sitting at the table participating in the fan club meeting. Very shortly afterward, he is seen helping Strong Bad carry his sub sandwich. Did The Cheat quickly leave off-screen, or is this an example of [[duplicate characters]]? --[[User:68.97.248.84|68.97.248.84]] 06:31, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
:Seems reasonable to be duplicate characters -[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 17:21, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
::It could be either one, so to say it’s one or the other is speculation.

==Monteljohn==
Could this be a reference to [[wikipedia: Ricardo Montalban|Ricardo Montalban]], the actor famous for his roles in Fantasy Island, Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, and Freakazoid?
:Nah, it's [[TTATOT]]. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 23:37, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
::No it isn't. Is it that hard to come up with a *real* argument against something instead of lazily throwing around a <nowiki>[[TTATOT]]</nowiki> whenever someone asks if something might be a reference? -{{User:YK/sig}} 00:25, 2 February 2008 (UTC
::::I'll give you it's not technically TTATOT, but it's close. Montel and John are both names in their own right... if it's a serious reference to Ricardo Montalban, then it's just as likely to be a serious reference to [[wikipedia: Montel Williams|Montel Williams]], the talk show host, not to mention anyone named John. I really don't think speculations as to the inspiration for a nonsense name in a non-sequitur belong on the page, regardless. The relevance is questionable at best to begin with, even before we consider that it's just speculation.[[User:Nightsong81|Nightsong81]] 19:22, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
:::::Actually, I'm not necessarily arguing the merit of this fact (I have no opinion one way or the other on it, really, though apparently there *is* another alleged "reference" to Ricardo Montalban elsewhere on the site... Quote of the Week, I think), so much as... well, I'm sick to death of someone (often an anon, though not always) proposing a fun fact, and someone who's not-quite-a-newbie-but-not-quite-an-old-timer shooting it down with a lazy, though nevertheless "Totally Final"-sounding "<nowiki>[[TTATOT]]</nowiki>", without bothering to mention what the "That" or the "The Other Thing" *are*. Now, as Qermaq said, the burden of proof is *usually* on the one proposing the fact... but not always. See, the way the anon worded his original post, it wasn't a cocky-sounding "I think this is a reference to this", it was more like a "What do you think?". In other words, since he *asked*, it seems to me it would be up to someone else to disprove it. And "Nah, it's [[TTATOT]]." is simply not a very convincing argument. -{{User:YK/sig}} 09:01, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
:::I agree. If you can cite me anything else that remotely sounds like Monteljohn, then I'll concede it's probably a TTATOT. Otherwise, I think you need to seriously consider my question and give a reasoned (i.e., not lazy) answer.
:Okay, it looks like the old "TTATOT" excuse is as of right now completely unsupported. If no one can give me a good reason not to, I'm going to add it. I am getting kind of tired of the way references are just tossed out for little to no good reason these days.
::You have been given good reasons why it might easily not be a reference to Montelban. What more do you need? The burden of proof is on you to support this, not us to prove it wrong. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:49, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

== pop-up book = deleteheads? ==

Anyone else think the idea of calling the fan club deleteheads might partially be inspired by the poor quality sound in strong bad's pop-up book? specifically when strong bad repeats the garbled "deleted" as sounding like "the lake head?"
:That's an extreme stretch. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:40, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
