'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Email, na na, na na, na na, nanaNA...

<pre>
Dear Strong Bad,
When we grow up we want to be chefs. We wanted to know
if you had any secret family recipes that you would want
to share with us so...we can make them!

-Melissa and Hillary (from NJ)
</pre>

''{Strong Bad reads "Dear Strong Bad" as "The usual" and "NJ" as "Nigeria"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Mellie, Hillarious, being from Africa I'm sure you guys are used to eating, like, exotic fruits and nectars and, um, lions ''{clears screen, continues typing}'' so our recipes may seem a little uncouth. ''{stops typing}'' Uncouth. ''{typing}'' Can something be just plain couth? I bet freakin' Strong Sad is plain couth. Anyways, Couthy, all our family recipes tend to center around the grossing out of or the making puke of friends and well-wishers.

''{The camera cuts back, and we see The Cheat laying on the computer desk flinging floppy disks all over}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat! Let's go try out Great Uncle Pawdabber's Pre-tend Ice Cream Showdown!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises, possibly an enthusiastic "Okay!"}''

''{The Cheat stands up. The screen fades to grey and the following text appears}''

'''NARRATOR:''' Strong Bad may or may not have an actual Great Uncle Pawdabber.

''{Cut to the field. Coach Z is standing around holding a basketball}''

'''COACH Z:''' Man, what is this thing? ''{bounces it once}'' A bounce thing?

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat enter from the right. Strong Bad is holding what appears to be a bowl of ice cream with yellowish sprinkles, and The Cheat is wearing a towel around his waist}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, The Cheat! Wow! Look at this! It's our best friend, Coach Z. Say there, Coach, would you like to try some of our free ic�d c-cream? It's got toasted coconut!

'''COACH Z:''' How could I refuse? ''{throws the basketball over his shoulder}'' I can't afford the money-cost variety!

''{Coach Z takes the ice cream and starts pigging out on it}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oooh! Sweet mercy! ''{eats some more}'' This is orful! ''{eats more}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, it's OK, Coach. You're the proud new eater of a healthy bowl of sour cream and The Cheat fur.

''{Strong Bad pulls away The Cheat's towel to reveal that he's been shaved from the waist down}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises, sounds like "ta-da!"}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{starts making disgusted noises and coughing up fur}'' Oof! I think I'm going to puke my pants!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh! Please don't elaborate on THAT.

'''COACH Z:''' Naw, it's easy. I do it all the time! Here, let me show ya's!

'''STRONG BAD AND THE CHEAT:''' AUGH!

''{Strong Bad and the Cheat run away as Coach Z continues talking}''

'''COACH Z:''' You take your pants...

''{A recipe card appears on screen reading as follows}''

<pre>
Recipe:
Great Uncle Pawdabber's Pre-tend
Ice Cream Showdown

Ingredients:
3 scoops (really) sour cream
1/2 of shaved The Cheat
1 bowl
1 languagely challenged vaguely coach type person

Instructions:
Mix ingredients until golden brown
</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' For best results, dip The Cheat in egg wash before shaving or else he'll get those red shaving bumpies all over him. Ugh.

''{Cut to the side of the King of Town's castle}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sotto voce}'' Alright, we're mixing this next one up on them, The Cheat. I filled this Speed Stick ''{pulls out some underarm deodorant reading X-treme Glacier}'' with white chocolate and we'll totally gross out or make puke The King of Town when I start eatin' it in front of him!

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

''{Cut to inside the castle. The King of Town is watching TV and eating the same type of Speed Stick we saw Strong Bad with. He also has some more underarm deodorants and spray cans in a bowl next to him.}''

'''TV ACTOR:''' Can you play your guitar, Caleb?

'''CALEB:''' I can try!

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat enter from the right}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey Old King Droll! Checka me out! I'm eatin'- oh. Never mind. Ugh, shoulda known...

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat walk out}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' No wait, you guys! Come back! This stuff is strong enough for a man but TASTY enough for a king! Don't you want to try any Forest Rush? Or Tundra Mist?

''{A recipe card spins onscreen reading as follows}''

<pre>
Recipe:
Crazy Aunt Eulatherm's Deodorant
Doppelganger

Ingredients:
6 oz. white chocolate
1/2 of shaved The Cheat (for moral support)
1 kinda cleaned-out De-odor Cake

Instructions:
Mix ingredients. Preheat oven. Add hot sauce
if necessary
</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Yeah, how come deodorants and stuff are always named after biomes anyways?

''{Cut to Marzipan's house. Marzipan is sitting on the couch reading The Latest News. Homestar walks in carrying one of Strong Bad's Pre-Tend Ice Cream Showdown bowls.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey girlfriend, have you tried any of this free ice cream Strong Bad made?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{setting aside her paper, clearly amused}'' Homestar, didn't anyone tell you? That's, like, cottage cheese and The Cheat hair!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' WHAT?! ''{does a spit take, producing some fur}'' Strong Bad told me it was sour CREAM and The Cheat hair! Looks like THIS is a job for Stupid Uncle Egg's Goodtime Diaper Pie!

''{Homestar walks offscreen to the left. The screen greys and the following text appears on it}''

'''NARRATOR:''' Homestar Runner definitely does not have a Stupid Uncle Egg.

''{Cut to Strong Bad's computer room. A pinecone and bendy straw are in a bowl with a sign next to it reading "not A pimecone, diaper pie! i mean reg-ular pie." Strong Bad and The Cheat walk in. The Cheat is now wearing yellow post-it notes, some with black dots on them, to try and cover up his shaved area}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, it looks TOTALLY real. I swear, no one will be able to tell! Oh, what's this? ''{Strong Bad picks up the sign}'' "Not a pimecone." Well, he's got that right!

''{Homestar pokes his head in from the right}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh look, it's my best friends Cheat and The Strong Bad! Hey, I heard you guys been eating some serious regular pie in here!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, yeah man! We've even got some left over if you want it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well if it's anywhere near as good as your free ice cream!

''{Homestar puts the pine cone in his mouth and starts crunching it up. The Cheat and Strong Bad look at each other incredulously}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{with his mouth full}'' Well, so long, suckers!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' It's like, even when we win, he wins.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' There you go girls. Recipes for the ages. But if you really want to be chefs when you grow up, we've got a super-secret familiy recipe for cooking the C-H-E-blank-T ''{types this as "C H E _ T"}''

''{The Cheat makes a very angry noise from offscreen and chucks a floppy disk reading "YOU JERK!" at Strong Bad's head}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ow! ''{typing}'' And of course that blank is for the letter K. The Chekt. My family's got a great recipe for cooking the Chekt. Yeah, yeah. ''{only types one "yeah"}'' We're mostly from Bumdumbourge. It's near, uh, Totalslava. "Come down off that smokestack and eat your the Chekt!" my poopaw used to say. Ah, my dear poopaw, I miss you so.

''{The Paper comes down}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whispering}'' I think the Cheat bought it. Let me know if you want that recipe.

''{"Bumdumbourge '96" appears as a watermark on the recipe card.}''
</pre>

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
*Homestar actually calling Marzipan his girlfriend may be because this email came up on Valentine's Day.
=== Trivia ===
*This is the first reference to any of Strong Bad's (potential) family besides Strong Sad, Strong Mad, and his parents.
* A "poopaw" may be a reference to his father (or grandfather). A few similar sayings are "meemaw" (or "mamaw") for a grandmother, and a "papaw" for a grandfather.
*This is the first time that The Cheat has been ''directly'' addressed as just "Cheat" without the word "The" preceeding it. And the first time that modern Strong Bad has been directly addressed WITH a "The" preceeding his name!
**This is simply a result of Homestar's constant unintentional messing-up of words. It should not really be considered anything more than a simple gag.

=== Remarks ===
*Coach Z must have known what a basketball was when he appeared in [[anything]] saying that "Reg had the ball at the top of the key."
*The sound effect made when the basketball bounces is not the sound of a basketball, but the sound of a playground ball bouncing. Playground balls are a lot softer and more flexible than basketballs.
*"So long, suckers" is a common phrase on the TV shows The Simpsons (US), Red Dwarf (UK), and Blackadder (UK).

=== Goofs ===
*When Strong Bad reads the "pimecone" card, the computer screen is almost blank... but still has "and well-wishers." written on it in the same area where Strong Bad typed it before.
*Homestar has no legs in the pinecone scene.

=== Inside References ===
*The newspaper Marzipan is reading is the exact same one (down to the repeating text) she was reading in [[Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon]].
*The effect used before Strong Bad and Homestar Runner show off their recipes was previously used in [[radio]].
*The book titled "So You Want to Cook a Wrestleman" is a reference to a cartoonish drawing of Strong Bad labeled "Wrestleman" that appeared in the Sketchbook one week.
**It may also refer to [[army]], where Homestar is giving a pep-talk to his 'troops' and refers to Strong Bad and the Cheat as "a two-bit wrestleman and his yellow dog!", or to "personal favorites" where one of the easter egg emails reads "R u a real wrestleman?"

=== Real-World References ===
*The King of Town's quip about the deodorants being "strong enough for a man" is a reference to deodorant Secret's ad campaign, which states that it's "strong enough for a man, but pH balanced for a woman." It's an old campaign; the Secret slogan was originally "Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman." They've since changed it to simply, "Strong enough for a woman."
*Bumdumbourg and Totalslava could be loose references to the country of Luxembourg (and possibly many European cities whose names end in -burg or -bourg) and the city of Bratislava (the capital of Slovakia).
*"Old King Droll" is a reference to the nursery rhyme "Old King Cole."

[[Image:sbemail121.PNG|thumb|Strong Bad's part-time job]]

'''Strong Bad Email #121'''

Strong Bad proves he does more than just write e-mails, by showing everyone his part-time job!

'''Cast (In order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[The Cheat]], [[Bubs]], [[Coach Z]], [[Pom Pom]], [[Mrs. Bennedetto]]

'''Date:''' January 3rd, 2005

== Transcript ==

''{As usual, Strong Bad is in front of his Lappy, checking his e-mail. Judging from the view of the room we can see around the Lappy, he does not seem to be in his basement, as usual.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': A lot of ladies and a lot of girls... some healthy ladies and some healthy girls!
<pre>subject: besides..
Dear Strongbad,
Do you do anything besides checking e-mails?

Sincerely, Hunter</pre>

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' Waudju- gighi- ikuh... What do you mean do I do anything besides checking e-mails. 'Course I freakin' do! I do everything! Always! ''{clears the screen}'' Nature walks, Meet N' Greets, Bus Chucker Club, The League of Me and The Cheat Ice Cream Socials. Shut up! I even have a part-part-part-part-very part-time job, to which I am currently 15 minutes late.

''{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.}''

''{Strong Bad looks around in a panicked way.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': This is perfect! Just perfect! I couldn't be happier with my new invention! I'll call it... the Super Question Machine!

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{whispering}'' I gotta try to sneak out of here without Homestar noticing me.

''{Homestar sets his "invention" down on the table.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah you do.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I gotta think of some kind of diversion...

''{The Cheat walks in, humming to himself, wearing a top hat entitled "Tito" and a bowtie, and holding a cane. Homestar turns around to look at him. The camera pans left. The Cheat begins doing a dance.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, wow! What a great new invention!

''{Strong Bad crawls out from under the table, and gives The Cheat the thumbs up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nice work, The Cheat!

''{He proceeds to crawl away, while The Cheat's still humming.}''

''{Cut to Bubs' empty concession stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quietly while peeking out from the corner}'' This is perfect! Bubs must be passed out on the floor again.

''{Strong Bad disappears behind the screen, and begins walking toward the Stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Comin' in to work on time..

''{Bubs pops up from under the counter. Strong Bad lets out a short yell.}''

'''BUBS:''' Aha!

'''STRONG BAD:''' {''Yells, then stutters a little.''}

'''BUBS:''' Late again, Strong Bad. I'm not running a country club, you know.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Quickly}'' But Mr. Bubs, I was just-

'''BUBS:''' ''{Interrupts}'' Wastin' time on that email show of yours again. That mess'll never get you anywhere!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes it will! You'll see! I'm gonna be big one day. I'm gonna be a famous email checker.

'''BUBS:''' And I'm gonna be two times two. Now put on your uniform and get to work!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're gonna be ''what''?

''{The screen fades out and resumes to Strong Bad in a hot dog costume, which has been combined with a clown's in front of Bubs' stand. Strong Bad is holding a paper, and a stack of papers sits next to him.}''

''The papers all say:''

<pre>GET YOU A FREE CUP OF ICE WITH PURCHASE OF DELUXE CUP OF ICE OF EQUAL OR LESSER VALUE
BUBS' CONSESSION STAND</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right! Come on down to Bubs' and get you a free cup of ice with purchase of deluxe cup of ice for equal or lesser value.

'''BUBS:''' No, no. Work it, son, work it!

''{Strong Bad begins dancing and humming.}''

'''BUBS:''' That's it, that's it! Look out for Number 1!

''{Coach Z walks in.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, it's the hot dog clown! What fun!

''{Pom Pom's silhouette merges in.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Pom Pom, take a picture of me with the hot dog clown. It'll be classic!

''{Pom Pom bubbles, and takes out a camera. A huge flash is seen, and a camera shutter sound is heard. Coach Z falls over, leaning on Strong Bad.}

''{The camera zooms in to Bubs.}''

'''BUBS:''' Pictures with the hot dog clown ain't free! Fifty bucks! Sixty bucks! Get back here and let me confiscate your film.
'' {The camera zooms back out to the four of them.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{running}'' Charge, Pom Pom! ''{He and Pom Pom run off screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's a great day at Bubs' Concession Stand! Sign up now for giving us money.

'''BUBS:''' Now isn't this better than sitting at your desk answerin' emails?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Actually I was sitting under a kitchen table this week and.. uh oh! The Lappy's probably almost out of juice! I need to get back and end this email! Uhh.. say Bubs, I'm gonna need now off. Is that cool?

'''BUBS:''' Is Strong Sad cool?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh come on.

'''BUBS:''' You know all my policies! I'm not running a country club, you know.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay then I quit.

'''BUBS:''' Fine! But don't even think about swiping that costume!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You made me buy this costume, remember?

'''BUBS:''' Oh. Right. Well then pleasure doing business with you.

''{Strong Bad runs off in the costume.}

''{We cut back to the kitchen, where The Cheat has fallen over, still humming, and Homestar is standing over him. Strong Bad crawls back in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' This is the most amazing undersea epic ever filmed.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' See, Hunter? I got all types of stuff going on. I've got so many facets, you don't even know what facets are. I'm like a hundredaire socialite out on the sce-

''{The Lappy powers down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh great. The battery ran out. I gotta figure out a way to end this email.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah you do.

''{Cut to Mrs. Bennedetto. Strong Bad slaps a paper on it with some text and a picture of him on it.}''

<pre>yeah buddy,
i have muscles!

ps: preeeeow</pre>

''{The Paper DOES NOT come down on its own!}''

'''EXTRA SCENE TRANSCRIPT'''
''Cut to Bubs on the Stage from [[A Decemberween Pageant]]. We see a pamphlet:''
<pre> T H E A T E R
Dreamaway
Johnny

A Sweet 3-Acter
Directed by Strong Bad
Starring:
Strong Bad and Buh-hubs, man</pre>

''The pamphlet zooms out. We see Bubs is standing in front of a cut-out of his stand reading MR LEGARM'S Bubs Stand. Strong Bad walks in.''

'''BUBS AS MR. LEGARM:''' Well look who decided to show up. Fifth time this week, Johnny.

'''STRONG BAD AS JOHNNY:''' Oh I'm sorry Mr. Legarm. Honest I am! I just-

'''MR. LEGARM:''' ''{interrupting}'' You just what? Lost track of time?

'''JOHNNY:''' Yes sir. Only I wouldn't have to worry about that if I could just get the Johnny-Tron working.

'''MR. LEGARM:''' You still wastin' time workin' on that time machine, Johnny? That's a pipe dream, son! Your future's here at the shop. Now sweep up! I got customers to tend to.

'''JOHNNY:''' You'll see. Someday... someday...

''{Music starts, and a spotlight goes over to Strong Bad.}''

'''JOHNNY:''' ''{singing}'' When all my dreams come.. truuuuuuuuue.

''{The audience claps; the curtain closes.}''

== Fun Facts ==
* "preeeow" is what Strong Bad says in [[autobiography]] and [[haircut]], when attempting to prompt the printer to print out [[The Paper]].
*"What do you mean do I do anything besides checking e-mails" is a question and Strong Bad didn't use a question mark.
*The "Hundredaire Socialite magazine" easter egg features the familiar faces of [[The Brothers Chaps|Mike and Matt Chapman]]; the photo is from [[Peasant's Quest Preview]].
*You can still make the circles appear on the LCD screen when the power shuts off.
*You can keep clicking on "preeow" to make the Paper come down again and again.
*"The League of Me and the Cheat Ice-Cream Socials" is a play probably a play on the League of Women Voters Ice Cream Socials
*Bubs has apparently discontinued his "free weekly spamvertisements" from [[unused emails]], from which Strong Bad was making 1250 dollars (5000 emails x a quarter each) every time he sold a disk of addresses.
*In the easter egg, Strong Bad sings two notes at the same time on the word "true."

== Glitches ==
* After watching the "Power easter egg, " the paper comes down even though you haven't clicked on preeeow.

'''Strong Bad Email #120'''

'''Cast (In order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Trivia Time]], [[Marzipan (character)|Marzipan]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[The Strong Bad]], [[Strong Mad]] (Easter Egg), [[The Sneak]] (Easter Egg)

Strong Bad gives some advice on how to be a radio host, in various genres.

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' I got miles and miles of the e-mail style. Miles and miles of the e-mail style.

''{types in "strongbad_email.exe"}''

<pre>subject: radio
Dear Strong Bad,
My friends are radio hosts. Any chance you could give
them any pointers on what they could say/do on their show?
bowing to you
Fraser, Scotland
</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, no need to bow, Fraser. Get up. ''{reverently}'' Rise, my son. And giveth me instead $7.50 with which to buy some buffalo chicken tenders. ''{clears the screen}'' So, your "friends" are radio show hosts, huh? Well, the first rule of thumb for all radio personalities is to look absolutely nothing like how they sound. Take Ol' Greystoke for instance.

''{Cut to Strong Sad standing in his room}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' Now here's a whiny know-it-all who sounds just like he looks.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Why thank you, Senator.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' Quit calling me that. Anyway, if Strong Sad was a radio host, he'd sound like this:

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{In radio host voice}'' Hey hey hey, it's the Deathly Pallor, coming at you on the numbitty 902, WA3D FM, "The Sturge." Coming up next, we have some hot new tracks from double-O ballyhoo!

''{Strong Sad covers his mouth in horror while Strong Bad laughs.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Normal voice/frightened}'' Don't you ever make me do that again!

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So once they've got the voice/appearance mismatch working, then it all just depends on what kind of radio station they work for. Listen and loin as I run my test sentence through the various genres.

'''Voice-over:''' Strong Bad's test sentence is "The fish was delish and it made quite a dish." ''{The sentence appears on-screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' First up is public radio: smooth n' smarmy.

''{Cut to Marzipan's kitchen. A radio is sitting on the counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as Public Radio host}'' Today on Capitol Hill, the fish was delish, and according to U.N. secretary council members, it made quite a dish. You are listening to member-supported public radio.

''{Public Radio theme song plays. Marzipan walks in.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Dang old public radio. I never got my totebag.

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Next up is the drive time morning show. ''{A morning show poster with two Strong Bad-like hosts appears onscreen.}'' These guys are like bad stand up comics that you can't heckle. Or jeckle. Or throw highball glasses at.

''{Cut to a clock-radio.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as morning talk show host, with sound effects in the background}'' Rise and shine, people! The fish was delish. ''{canned laughter}'' Wait for it, wait for it!''{clowny sounds}'' And it made quite a dish.

''{Cut back from the clock-radio to show Homestar in his house with a Public Radio totebag over his head, holding a highball glass containing a brown liquid with ice cubes.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, squawk box! Shut it up about the fish already.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I guess that's the way ''{honk honk}'' the cookie crumbles.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hi-ball! ''{throws highball glass at radio}''

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Then there's the utter misery that is college radio, where they apparently just let any bewildered freshman wander in to the booth and try to run a radio station.

''{Cut to a boombox containing a blank tape.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as college radio host, over a song ending and some feedback}'' Uh, that, that was "The fish was delish" and we heard... track six...''{thumbing through CD jewel cases}'' "it made... quite a dish".

''{Cut to Strong Sad's room, where he is sitting next to the boombox writing some calligraphy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{on radio}'' Um... cam... campus outreach is looking for... hang on...

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' College radio can pretty much be summed up in five words: 
Dead air, um, dead air.

''{Cut back to the boombox}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as college radio host}'' Okay, I am out of here for today, but um, but first up is, an, um, okay... an... an hour of chanting.

''{A chant plays on the boombox, and Strong Sad's hand hits the Play and Record buttons.}''

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And just in case your friends are um, in the past: here's old-timey radio.

''{Cut to 1936 style and an old-timey radio, with The Strong Bad reading in front of a microphone}''

'''THE STRONG BAD:''' ''{as old-timey radio host}'' This week on The Fish Was Delish progrum, brought to you by Portly Washboy laundry paste, we join The Fish down at the wharf as he closes in on the Quite a Dish gang's hideout. Stay tuned for partial excitement.

''{The Portly Washboy logo appears. It is of a boy and a heaping jar of paste with a spoon in it.}''

'''Voice-over:''' ''{singing}'' Portly Washboy. Don't eat it like the cartoon, man.

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Done and done, Fraser. Your friends should be well on their way to annoying drivers and gas station attendants the world over. Ooh! And see if you can score me some free coozies, frisbees, or bottle openers from their station. Those free giveaways: Highly flammable.

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

== Easter Eggs ==
* Click on Strong Sad's stomach while he does the radio voice to see him wearing a t-shirt from WA3D FM "The Sturge" radio station.
*Click on "The Fish Was Delish, and it made quite a dish" when it shows up to show a children's book made in the style of Dr. Seuss, called "The Fish Was Delish, and it Made Quite a Dish". It was written by Crazy Prof. Sportsinterviews (aka [[Lem Sportsinterviews|Leomard Sportsinterviews]]), who writes most of the children's books Strong Bad mangles.
* Click on "coozies, frisbees, or bottle openers" after [[The Paper]] comes down to see them.
* Click on "annoying" after The Paper comes down to see/hear more of Strong Sad's new persona.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{normal voice}'' Oh, I disagree! I think it's more than just a matter of simple economics. In fact, I'd say...

:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{radio host voice and mannerisms, with music}'' Oh, yeah! What's the phrase that pays that plays for days? It's numbitty-nine-oh-two "The Sturge." Don't you touch that BLEBERTYBLOUGH!

:'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{confused}'' Blebertyblough?
* Click on "me" after The Paper comes down to see more of old timey Strong Bad.
:'''RADIO:''' ''{The Strong Bad}'' Stay tuned for partial excitement!

:'''THE STRONG BAD:''' ''{listening}'' Drat and double drat! It's true what they say! The radio really does add four and twenty stone to one's voice!

== Fun Facts ==

*After the text of "The Fish Was Delish..." disappears, you can still click where it was and it will come up.
*Strong Sad's left sleeve disappears during parts of that easter egg. If you click on him again, it reappears. (Depicted in article image above.)
*The short theme heard while Marzipan listens to public radio is reminiscent of the Videlectrix theme.
*For some reason, Homestar must have his lights set to come on with the radio alarm at 7:00am; strangely, he is already up and having a drink.
*The totebag on Homestar's head reads: ''PRS Public Radio Sounds "Smooth 'n Smarmy"''. One can infer that the totebag rightly belongs to Marzipan.
*"Four-and-twenty stone" is 336 pounds (one stone = 14 pounds).
*The real WSBD is a news radio station in Ohio. TBC cannot have possibly known about it; SBD most likely stands for '''S'''trong '''B'''a'''d'''.

==== To real things ====

* A [[Wikipedia:Highball_glass|highball glass]] is a tall, narrow glass typically used to serve certain types of alcohol and cocktails.
** Homestar's "highball," therefore, isn't a highball at all, since it's served in a short, stout glass rather than a tall, thin one.
** The glass Homestar throws is a "Rocks Glass", which are generally short and stout.
** Homestar's glass is the same one The Cheat had on the table in "montage" while smoking.
*Marzipan's reference to the totebag has to do with public radio and/or tv often having on-air fundraisers where they offer gifts for different levels of donations.
*The book "The fish was delish and it made quite a dish" (see Easter Eggs) is an obvious spoof of [[Wikipedia:Dr. Seuss|Dr. Seuss]]'s books, even down to the name of the author, [[Lem Sportsinterviews|Lem 'The Crazy Prof.' Sportsinterviews]].
*Marzipan's book ''Tolstoy Story 2'' is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Leo Tolstoy|Leo Tolstoy]], a famous Russian author, and also to the Disney/Pixar film ''[[Wikipedia:Toy Story 2|Toy Story 2]]''.
*"PRS" is a playful combination of [http://www.pbs.org PBS], the Public Broadcasting Service, and [http://www.pri.org PRI], Public Radio International.
*The "UN Secretary Council" represents a mix between the [http://www.un.org/News/ossg/sg/ UN Secretary-General] and the [http://www.un.org/Docs/sc/ UN Security Council], both of which sound similar and frequently make headlines on PBS and PRI.
*The bit where the voice-over tells the viewer what the test phrase is in whispered tones is a reference to game shows like "Password," where something similar would occur so that the viewers knew what the password was.
*Judging by Strong Sad's T-shirt, "The Sturge" is short for [[Wikipedia:Sturgeon| sturgeon]], a large, rare fish and is an obvious spoof of radio stations named after animals. For example, ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077097/ WKRP in Cincinatti],'' had the mascot, "the WKRP Carp."
*"Heckle or jeckle" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia: Terrytoons|Terrytoons]] cartoon [http://www.toonopedia.com/hekljekl.htm Heckle and Jeckle].


==== Possible references ====
*Strong Bad calling Strong Sad "Greystoke" is a possible reference to the fictional character [[Wikipedia:Tarzan|Tarzan]], who was the orphaned son of Lord Greystoke.
*This may be a stretch, but 'the fish was delish, and it made quite a dish' might be a reference to the old short lived live action series of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, where Michelangelo sings a similar song.
*The Strong Bad saying "Drat and double drat!" is also said by Dick Dastardly from the '60s cartoon "The Wacky Races". Old timey Strong Bad may be partially based on Dick Dastardly, as they share many characteristics.

Vannav: /* To real things */ No way to tie portly washboy to the pilsbury doughboy

[[Image:deadlypallor.png|thumb|Strong Sad: Shock jock?]]

'''Strong Bad Email #120'''

'''Cast (In order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Trivia Time]], [[Marzipan (character)|Marzipan]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[The Strong Bad]], [[Strong Mad]] (Easter Egg), [[The Sneak]] (Easter Egg)

Strong Bad gives some advice on how to be a radio host, in various genres.

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' I got miles and miles of the e-mail style. Miles and miles of the e-mail style.

''{types in "strongbad_email.exe"}''

<pre>subject: radio
Dear Strong Bad,
My friends are radio hosts. Any chance you could give
them any pointers on what they could say/do on their show?
bowing to you
Fraser, Scotland
</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, no need to bow, Fraser. Get up. ''{reverently}'' Rise, my son. And giveth me instead $7.50 with which to buy some buffalo chicken tenders. ''{clears the screen}'' So, your "friends" are radio show hosts, huh? Well, the first rule of thumb for all radio personalities is to look absolutely nothing like how they sound. Take Ol' Greystoke for instance.

''{Cut to Strong Sad standing in his room}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' Now here's a whiny know-it-all who sounds just like he looks.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Why thank you, Senator.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' Quit calling me that. Anyway, if Strong Sad was a radio host, he'd sound like this:

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{In radio host voice}'' Hey hey hey, it's the Deathly Pallor, coming at you on the numbitty 902, WA3D FM, "The Sturge." Coming up next, we have some hot new tracks from double-O ballyhoo!

''{Strong Sad covers his mouth in horror while Strong Bad laughs.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Normal voice/frightened}'' Don't you ever make me do that again!

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So once they've got the voice/appearance mismatch working, then it all just depends on what kind of radio station they work for. Listen and loin as I run my test sentence through the various genres.

'''Voice-over:''' Strong Bad's test sentence is "The fish was delish and it made quite a dish." ''{The sentence appears on-screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' First up is public radio: smooth n' smarmy.

''{Cut to Marzipan's kitchen. A radio is sitting on the counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as Public Radio host}'' Today on Capitol Hill, the fish was delish, and according to U.N. secretary council members, it made quite a dish. You are listening to member-supported public radio.

''{Public Radio theme song plays. Marzipan walks in.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Dang old public radio. I never got my totebag.

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Next up is the drive time morning show. ''{A morning show poster with two Strong Bad-like hosts appears onscreen.}'' These guys are like bad stand up comics that you can't heckle. Or jeckle. Or throw highball glasses at.

''{Cut to a clock-radio.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as morning talk show host, with sound effects in the background}'' Rise and shine, people! The fish was delish. ''{canned laughter}'' Wait for it, wait for it!''{clowny sounds}'' And it made quite a dish.

''{Cut back from the clock-radio to show Homestar in his house with a Public Radio totebag over his head, holding a highball glass containing a brown liquid with ice cubes.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, squawk box! Shut it up about the fish already.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I guess that's the way ''{honk honk}'' the cookie crumbles.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hi-ball! ''{throws highball glass at radio}''

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Then there's the utter misery that is college radio, where they apparently just let any bewildered freshman wander in to the booth and try to run a radio station.

''{Cut to a boombox containing a blank tape.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as college radio host, over a song ending and some feedback}'' Uh, that, that was "The fish was delish" and we heard... track six...''{thumbing through CD jewel cases}'' "it made... quite a dish".

''{Cut to Strong Sad's room, where he is sitting next to the boombox writing some calligraphy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{on radio}'' Um... cam... campus outreach is looking for... hang on...

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' College radio can pretty much be summed up in five words: 
Dead air, um, dead air.

''{Cut back to the boombox}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as college radio host}'' Okay, I am out of here for today, but um, but first up is, an, um, okay... an... an hour of chanting.

''{A chant plays on the boombox, and Strong Sad's hand hits the Play and Record buttons.}''

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And just in case your friends are um, in the past: here's old-timey radio.

''{Cut to 1936 style and an old-timey radio, with The Strong Bad reading in front of a microphone}''

'''THE STRONG BAD:''' ''{as old-timey radio host}'' This week on The Fish Was Delish progrum, brought to you by Portly Washboy laundry paste, we join The Fish down at the wharf as he closes in on the Quite a Dish gang's hideout. Stay tuned for partial excitement.

''{The Portly Washboy logo appears. It is of a boy and a heaping jar of paste with a spoon in it.}''

'''Voice-over:''' ''{singing}'' Portly Washboy. Don't eat it like the cartoon, man.

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Done and done, Fraser. Your friends should be well on their way to annoying drivers and gas station attendants the world over. Ooh! And see if you can score me some free coozies, frisbees, or bottle openers from their station. Those free giveaways: Highly flammable.

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

== Easter Eggs ==
* Click on Strong Sad's stomach while he does the radio voice to see him wearing a t-shirt from WA3D FM "The Sturge" radio station.
*Click on "The Fish Was Delish, and it made quite a dish" when it shows up to show a children's book made in the style of Dr. Seuss, called "The Fish Was Delish, and it Made Quite a Dish". It was written by Crazy Prof. Sportsinterviews (aka [[Lem Sportsinterviews|Leomard Sportsinterviews]]), who writes most of the children's books Strong Bad mangles.
* Click on "coozies, frisbees, or bottle openers" after [[The Paper]] comes down to see them.
* Click on "annoying" after The Paper comes down to see/hear more of Strong Sad's new persona.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{normal voice}'' Oh, I disagree! I think it's more than just a matter of simple economics. In fact, I'd say...

:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{radio host voice and mannerisms, with music}'' Oh, yeah! What's the phrase that pays that plays for days? It's numbitty-nine-oh-two "The Sturge." Don't you touch that BLEBERTYBLOUGH!

:'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{confused}'' Blebertyblough?
* Click on "me" after The Paper comes down to see more of old timey Strong Bad.
:'''RADIO:''' ''{The Strong Bad}'' Stay tuned for partial excitement!

:'''THE STRONG BAD:''' ''{listening}'' Drat and double drat! It's true what they say! The radio really does add four and twenty stone to one's voice!

== Fun Facts ==

*After the text of "The Fish Was Delish..." disappears, you can still click where it was and it will come up.
*Strong Sad's left sleeve disappears during parts of that easter egg. If you click on him again, it reappears. (Depicted in article image above.)
*The short theme heard while Marzipan listens to public radio is reminiscent of the Videlectrix theme.
*For some reason, Homestar must have his lights set to come on with the radio alarm at 7:00am; strangely, he is already up and having a drink.
*The totebag on Homestar's head reads: ''PRS Public Radio Sounds "Smooth 'n Smarmy"''. One can infer that the totebag rightly belongs to Marzipan.
*"Four-and-twenty stone" is 336 pounds (one stone = 14 pounds).
*The real WSBD is a news radio station in Ohio. TBC cannot have possibly known about it; SBD most likely stands for '''S'''trong '''B'''a'''d'''.

*"Heckle or jeckle" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia: Terrytoons|Terrytoons]] cartoon [http://www.toonopedia.com/hekljekl.htm Heckle and Jeckle].


==== Possible references ====
*Strong Bad calling Strong Sad "Greystoke" is a possible reference to the fictional character [[Wikipedia:Tarzan|Tarzan]], who was the orphaned son of Lord Greystoke.
*This may be a stretch, but 'the fish was delish, and it made quite a dish' might be a reference to the old short lived live action series of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, where Michelangelo sings a similar song.
*The Strong Bad saying "Drat and double drat!" is also said by Dick Dastardly from the '60s cartoon "The Wacky Races". Old timey Strong Bad may be partially based on Dick Dastardly, as they share many characteristics.

Strong Sad

2004-12-15T03:05:09Z

Vannav: /* Also known as... */ Added Deathly Pallor

[[Image:strongsad.png|thumb|Strong Sad]]

== Biography ==
Strong Sad is the depressing person. The youngest of the Brothers Strong, he is often the subject of [[Strong Bad]]'s practical jokes. The only people who tolerate him are [[Marzipan (character)|Marzipan]] and [[Homsar (character) | Homsar]]. Once in a while [[Bubs]] may say a word to him. Marzipan doesn't really like to invite him to parties, as he gets everyone down. He has an iPod and loves to play board games. His interests include listening, books, listening to books, calligraphy, poetry, safety, being alone, arts, crafts, & arts b/w crafts. He is also a poet. He keeps a blog, updated sometimes, that is called [[Strong Sad's Lament]].

''{'''Page Title''': Poetry Slam!!}''

''{Open with a black screen. We can hear voices}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't wanna do a characters page!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, come on, you can do it!

''{Marzipan takes the lens cap off, and we can see Strong Sad standing in his room}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'm not really comfortable talking to a camera.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{offscreen}'' Just pretend like you're talking to me, or a wall, or a tree, or any of the other stuff that you usually talk to.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ohhhhhh! My name's Strong Sad and... I have two brothers that like to pummel me every hour, on the hour. I mostly sit in my room, and... listen to music, and write, and talk to walls or trees... and wait to be pummeled... I guess I like board games more than most people. And by that I mean I like to play board games more than most people do. But by that I also mean I like board games more than I like most people. Like this one time, me and Hi-Ho Cherry-O! were playing a game of Life, and I got a phone call from... Coach Z or somebody. And, I didn't answer it because I was having such a good time with playing this board game, against this other board game...

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{offscreen}'' Okay, I think that's enough, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' And it got me thinking, you know? Two lovers...alive...

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{offscreen}'' Okay, okay, I'm turning it off now. ''{The camera stops.}''

== Fun Facts ==
* [[Matt Chapman]] has said that Strong Sad is the most difficult character to voice due to how delicate he sounds. If Matt strains his voice too much before recording, he actually can't do Strong Sad at all (which lead to Mike substituting for Strong Sad's one word in [[cheat talk]])
''
*[[The Skate Party]] made a song called "Strong Sad Rocks Out" with a wiki user created [http://home.earthlink.net/~mrdrama07/SSRO_Higher_Bandwith_v2.wmv music video] for the song.

Vannav: Created new page

[[Image:deadlypallor.png|thumb|Strong Sad: Shock jock?]]

In [[radio]], [[Strong Sad]] is used as a pawn in [[Strong Bad]]'s quest to dispense advice to radio hosts. To display the first rule of thumb for radio personalities (look nothing like they sound), Strong Bad somehow forces his little brother to take on the mannerisms of a radio shock jock. While in this state, Strong Sad refers to himself by his on-air name, "The Deathly Pallor," and makes multiple mentions of his station, numbitty 902, WA3D FM, "The Sturge."

== Also known as... ==
Sometimes the Brothers Chaps recreate the entire cast of the website in an alternate style. This section is for tracking and organizing all of the variations of the main characters.

There are also complicated narrative modes on the site. Strong Bad often answers "What If" questions in his emails, which leads to minor variations on normal characters. Anything created by The Cheat has a very rudimentary flash style. Puppets are sometimes used in lieu of animation. The 100th Strong Bad Email deliberately uses an animation style which matches some of the earliest work of the Brothers Chaps. Many of these minor variations (such as [[Thnikkaman]] & [[Eh, Steven]]) can be found in the Rejects section.

Wilbur is a character visualized by [[Strong Bad]] in [[Videro Games]] (of [[strongbad email.exe]]). He has the body of a [[The Cheat]], and the head of a little video game programming version of The Cheat, complete with long hair, a beard, and glasses. He works making video games, and is responsible for distributing the disappointing Congraturations found at the completion of many video games, as in after the defeat of the final boss.

'''Cast (In order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Marzipan (character)|Marzipan]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[The Strong Bad]], [[Strong Mad]] (Easter Egg), [[The Sneak]] (Easter Egg)

Strong Bad gives some advice on how to be a radio host, in various genres.

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' I got miles and miles of the e-mail style. Miles and miles of the e-mail style.

''{types in "strongbad_email.exe"}''

<pre>subject: radio
Dear Strong Bad,
My friends are radio hosts. Any chance you could give
them any pointers on what they could say/do on their show?
bowing to you
Fraser, Scotland
</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, no need to bow, Fraser. Get up. ''{reverently}'' Rise, my son. And giveth me instead $7.50 with which to buy some buffalo chicken tenders. ''{clears the screen}'' So, your "friends" are radio show hosts, huh? Well, the first rule of thumb for all radio personalities is to look absolutely nothing like how they sound. Take Ol' Greystoke for instance.

''{Cut to Strong Sad standing in his room}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' Now here's a whiny know-it-all who sounds just like he looks.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Why thank you, Senator.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' Quit calling me that. Anyway, if Strong Sad was a radio host, he'd sound like this:

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{In radio host voice}'' Hey hey hey, it's the Deathly Pallor, coming at you on the numbitty 902, WA3D FM, "The Sturge." Coming up next, we have some hot new tracks from double-O ballyhoo!

''{Strong Sad covers his mouth in horror while Strong Bad laughs.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Normal voice/frightened}'' Don't you ever make me do that again!

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So once they've got the voice/appearance mismatch working, then it all just depends on what kind of radio station they work for. Listen and loin as I run my test sentence through the various genres.

'''Voice-over:''' Strong Bad's test sentence is "The fish was delish and it made quite a dish." ''{The sentence appears on-screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' First up is public radio: smooth n' smarmy.

''{Cut to Marzipan's kitchen. A radio is sitting on the counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as Public Radio host}'' Today on Capitol Hill, the fish was delish, and according to U.N. secretary council members, it made quite a dish. You are listening to member-supported public radio.

''{Public Radio theme song plays. Marzipan walks in.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Dang old public radio. I never got my totebag.

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Next up is the drive time morning show. ''{A morning show poster with two Strong Bad-like hosts appears onscreen.}'' These guys are like bad stand up comics that you can't heckle. Or jeckle. Or throw highball glasses at.

''{Cut to a clock-radio.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as morning talk show host, with sound effects in the background}'' Rise and shine, people! The fish was delish. ''{canned laughter}'' Wait for it, wait for it!''{clowny sounds}'' And it made quite a dish.

''{Cut back from the clock-radio to show Homestar in his house with a Public Radio totebag over his head, holding a tumbler containing a brown liquid with ice cubes.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, squawk box! Shut it up about the fish already.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hi-ball! ''{throws tumbler at radio}''

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Then there's the utter misery that is college radio, where they apparently just let any bewildered freshman wander in to the booth and try to run a radio station.

''{Cut to a boombox containing a blank tape.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as college radio host, over a song ending and some feedback}'' Uh, that, that was "The fish was delish" and we heard... track six...''{thumbing through papers}'' "it made... quite a dish".

''{Cut to Strong Sad's room, where he is sitting next to the boombox writing some calligraphy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{on radio}'' Um... cam... campus outreach is looking for... hang on...

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' College radio can pretty much be summed up in five words: 
Dead air, um, dead air.

''{Cut back to the boombox}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as college radio host}'' Okay, I am out of here for today, but um, but first up is, an, um, okay... an... an hour of chanting.

''{A chant plays on the boombox, and Strong Sad's hand hits the Play and Record buttons.}''

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And just in case your friends are um, in the past: here's old-timey radio.

''{cut to 1936 style and an old-timey radio, with The Strong Bad reading in front of a microphone}''

'''THE STRONG BAD:''' ''{as old-timey radio host}'' This week on The Fish Was Delish progrum, brought to you by Portly Washboy laundry paste, we join The Fish down at the wharf as he closes in on the Quite a Dish gang's hideout. Stay tuned for partial excitement.

''{The Portly Washboy logo appears. It is of a boy and a heaping jar of paste with a spoon in it.}''

'''Voice-over:''' ''{singing}'' Portly Washboy. Don't eat it like the cartoon, man.

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Done and done, Fraser. Your friends should be well on their way to annoying drivers and gas station attendants the world over. Ooh! And see if you can score me some free coozies, frisbees, or bottle openers from their station. Those free giveaways: Highly flammable.

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

:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{normal voice}'' Oh, I disagree! I think it's more than just a matter of simple economics. In fact, I'd say...

:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{radio host voice and mannerisms, with music}'' Oh, yeah! What's the phrase that pays that plays for days? It's numbitty-nine-oh-two "The Sturge." Don't you touch that BLEBERTYBLOUGH!

:'''RADIO:''' ''{The Strong Bad}'' Stay tuned for partial excitement!

:'''THE STRONG BAD:''' ''{listening}'' Drat and double drat! It's true what they say! The radio really does add four and twenty stone to one's voice!

== Fun Facts ==

*After the text of "The Fish Was Delish..." disappears, you can still click where it was and it will come up.
*Strong Sad's left sleeve disappears during parts of that easter egg. If you click on him again it appears. (Depicted in article image above.)
*The totebag on Homestar's head reads: ''PRS Public Radio Sounds "Smooth 'n Smarmy"''
*"Four-and-twenty stone" is 336 pounds (one stone = 14 pounds).
*This marks the first time Strong Sad has ever smiled.

=== References ===
==== To other cartoons ====

*This is the second time Strong Sad has confused Strong Mad by saying something weird. The first was in [[caffeine]], after he said parakeet.
*Strong Sad's calligraphy pen is also featured in his action figure in the easter egg for [[action figure]], and from the [[Strong Bad Is in Jail Cartoon]].
*The college radio is [[WSBD|89.3 WSBD The Voice of CGNU]], "Several Dozen Listeners". This refers to [[Crazy Go Nuts University]].
*The [[Trivia Time]] cookie jar appears in Marzipan's kitchen.
*Homestar's command of "shut it up" is a reference to The Cheat's [[crazy cartoon]].
*This is the second time we've seen the interior of Homestar's House. The first was in [[caper]], when Strong Bad and The Cheat tried to steal his Jumbles. Apparently, someone fixed his cow lamp, which is seen at the righthand side of the screen.
*Strong Sad refers to himself as a "deathly pallor," harking back to Coach Z's introduction of Strong Sad in the email [[impression]].
*Strong Bad says the words "absolutely nothing" exactly the same way in the email [[website]].

==== To real things ====

* A [[Wikipedia:Highball_glass|highball glass]] is a tall, narrow glass typically used to serve certain types of alcohol and cocktails.
**Homestar's "highball," therefore, isn't a highball at all, since it's served in a short, stout glass rather than a tall, thin one.
** The glass Homestar throws is a "Rocks Glass", which are generally short and stout.
*Marzipan's reference to the totebag has to do with public radio often having on-air fundraisers where they offer gifts for different levels of donations.
* The real WSBD is a news radio station in Ohio.
*The book "The fish was delish and it made quite a dish" (see Easter Eggs) is an obvious spoof of [[Wikipedia:Dr. Seuss|Dr. Seuss]]'s books, even down to the name of the author, [[Lem Sportsinterviews|Lem 'The Crazy Prof.' Sportsinterviews]].
*Marzipan's book ''Tolstoy Story 2'' is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Leo Tolstoy|Leo Tolstoy]], a famous Russian author, and also to the Disney/Pixar film ''[[Wikipedia:Toy Story 2|Toy Story 2]]''.
*PRS might be a reference to PBS, or the Public Broadcasting System, who give tote bags to people for donations when they ask for money. PRS could also be a reference to PRI, Public Radio International. PBS and PRI combined = PRS
*The bit where the voice-over tells the viewer what the test phrase is in whispered tones is a reference to game shows like "Password," where something similar would occur so that the viewers knew what the password was.
*Judging by Strong Sad's T-shirt, "The Sturge" is short for [[Wikipedia:Sturgeon| sturgeon]], a large, rare fish and is an obvious spoof of radio stations named after animals. For example, ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077097/ WKRP in Cincinatti],'' had the mascot, "the WKRP Carp."
*"That's the way the cookie crumbles" was Bruce Nolan's sign off phrase for his newscasting job in the Jim Carrey movie "[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0315327/ Bruce Almighty]."
*Homestar calls the clock/radio a "Squawk box", which is a reference to Squalkbox, a Generation 1 Transformer.

==== Possible references ====
*Strong Bad calling Strong Sad "Greystoke" is a possible reference to the fictional character [[Wikipedia:Tarzan|Tarzan]], who was the orphaned son of Lord Greystoke.
*This may be a stretch, but 'the fish was delish, and made quite a dish' might be a reference to the old short lived live action series of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, where Michelangelo sings a similar song.
*The Strong Bad saying "Drat and double drat!" is also said by Dick Dastardly from the '60s cartoon "The Wacky Races".

Vannav: Major organization, my thiughts on the overflow of fun facts, along with an initial proposal

===Totebag===
The "fun fact" about the fate of Marzipan's tote bag isn't really that fun - it's a joke from the e-mail and shouldn't need to be explained.

===WA3D===
WA3D is actually an Amateur Radio callsign, currently registered to Timothy Yoho of Lock Haven, Pennsylvania (found via [http://www.qrz.com/callsign QRZ Callsign Database]).

===Over-kill===
All humor is more fun when explained. Like when news people explain their puns. They do a service to the very stupid.

===Highball===

If Homestar is holding a highball glass (albeit a short one), as Strong Bad's earlier comment would suggest, he might have [[Wikipedia:bourbon whiskey|bourbon]] in it - apparently it's a brown drink often served in highball glasses with ice. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 10:23, 13 Dec 2004 (MST)
*Perhaps the alcoholic effects of said bourbon are the reason for the bag on his head. Or maybe he just wanted to be "a cool guy" like in [[Lookin at a Thing in a Bag]]... --[[User:Bellatrix|Bellatrix]] 11:18, 13 Dec 2004 (MST)

===Drugs===

Does it make sense to point out [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/420_%28drug_culture%29 another interpretation of 4 and 20 stone]? This isn't the only drug reference the Brothers Chaps have made, but the Wiki seems to not point these out. (Another one was in the Strong Bad Email menu, when Coach Z says "you must smoke grass.")
*It isn't a drug reference! Like... at all. "stone" is a measure of mass.
**Right, but getting high is also commonly referred to as getting stoned. Ever listen to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firesign_Theatre Firesign Theatre]? Not all drug references need to be perfectly direct, or not hidden in a dual (or triple) entendre.
*** That's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. If they had said pounds, would it have been a reference to British currency? The next argument will be about the use of 4 and 20 (as in 4:20), but that is as much a reference to the Gettysburg address as it is to weed. And everyone should sign their comments, so you can follow the thread of discussion. -[[User:Vannav|Vannav]]

===Factual Deluge!===
Something really has to be done about the influx of fun facts to the newest emails... the very fact that we've had to divide it up into categories of references shows that the situation is getting out of hand. Perhaps something along the lines of closing fun-fact entries until 2 days after the premier of the email could be arranged. Thoughts? -[[User:Vannav|Vannav]]

Vannav: Minor touch-up

'''89.3 WSBD''' is [[CGNU]]'s [[radio]] station. It's motto is "The voice of [[CGNU]]" and is hosted by bewildered freshman. It is [[Strong Sad]]'s favorite station, perhaps due to its hour-long chanting program.. It has also been known to give away frisbees.

'''Strong Bad Email #120'''

'''Cast (In order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Marzipan (character)|Marzipan]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[The Strong Bad]], [[Strong Mad]] (Easter Egg), [[The Sneak]] (Easter Egg)

Strong Bad gives some advice on how to be a radio host, in various genres.

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' I got miles and miles of the e-mail style. Miles and miles of the e-mail style.

{types in "strongbad_email.exe"}

<pre>subject: radio
Dear Strong Bad,
My friends are radio hosts. Any chance you could give
them any pointers on what they could say/do on their show?
bowing to you
Fraser, Scotland
</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''(actually says "say slash do" while reading the above)'' ''{typing}'' Oh, no need to bow, Fraser. Get up. Rise, my son. And giveth me instead $7.50 with which to buy some buffalo chicken tenders. ''{clears the screen}'' So, your "friends" are radio show hosts, huh? Well, the first rule of thumb for all radio personalities is to look absolutely nothing like how they sound. Take Ol' Greystoke for instance.

''(Cut to Strong Sad standing in his room)''

'''STRONG BAD:''' {voice-over} Now here's a whiny know-it-all who sounds just like he looks.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Why thank you, Senator.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' Quit calling me that. Anyway, if Strong Sad was a radio host, he'd sound like this:

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{In radio host voice}'' Hey hey hey, it's the Deathly Pallor, coming at you on the numbitty 902, WA3D FM, "The Sturge." Coming up next, we have some hot new tracks from double-O ballyhoo!

''{Strong Sad covers his mouth in horror while Strong Bad laughs.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Normal voice/frightened}'' Don't you ever make me do that again!

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So once they've got the voice/appearance mismatch working, then it all just depends on what kind of radio station they work for. Listen and loin as I run my test sentence through the various genres.

'''Voice-over:''' Strong Bad's test sentence is "The fish was delish and it made quite a dish." ''{The sentence appears on-screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' First up is public radio: smooth n' smarmy.

''{Cut to Marzipan's kitchen. A radio is sitting on the counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as Public Radio host}'' Today on Capitol Hill, the fish was delish, and according to U.N. secretary council members, it made quite a dish. You are listening to member-supported public radio.

''{Public Radio theme song plays. Marzipan walks in.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Dang old public radio. I never got my totebag.

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Next up is the drive time morning show. ''{A morning show poster with two Strong Bad-like hosts appears onscreen.}'' These guys are like bad stand up comics that you can't heckle. Or jeckle. Or throw highball glasses at.

''{Cut to a clock-radio.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as morning talk show host, with sound effects in the background}'' Rise and shine, people! The fish was delish. ''{canned laughter}'' Wait for it, wait for it! And it made quite a dish.

''{Cut back from the clock-radio to show Homestar in his house with a Public Radio totebag over his head, holding a tumbler containing a brown liquid with ice cubes.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, squawk box! Shut it up about the fish already.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' High ball! ''{throws tumbler at radio}''

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Then there's the utter misery that is college radio, where they apparently just let any bewildered freshman wander in to the booth and try to run a radio station.

''{Cut to a boombox containing a blank tape.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as college radio host, over a song ending and some feedback}'' Uh, that, that was "The fish was delish" and we heard... track six...''{thumbing through papers}'' "it made... quite a dish".

''{Cut to Strong Sad's room, where he is sitting next to the boombox writing some calligraphy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{on radio}'' Um... cam... campus outreach is looking for... hang on...

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' College radio can pretty much be summed up in five words: 
Dead air, um, dead air.

''{Cut back to the boombox}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as college radio host}'' Okay, I am out of here for today, but um, but first up is, an, um, okay... an... an hour of chanting.

''{A chant plays on the boombox, and Strong Sad's hand hits the Play and Record buttons.}''

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And just in case your friends are um, in the past: here's old-timey radio.

''{cut to 1936 style and an old-timey radio, with The Strong Bad reading in front of a microphone}''

'''THE STRONG BAD:''' ''{as old-timey radio host}'' This week on The Fish Was Delish progrum, brought to you by Portly Washboy laundry paste, we join The Fish down at the wharf as he closes in on the Quite a Dish gang's hideout. Stay tuned for partial excitement.

''{The Portly Washboy logo appears. It is of a boy and a heaping jar of paste with a spoon in it.}''

'''Voice-over:''' ''{singing}'' Portly Washboy. Don't eat it like the cartoon, man.

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Done and done, Fraser. Your friends should be well on their way to annoying drivers and gas station attendants the world over. Ooh! And see if you can score me some free coozies, frisbees, or bottle openers from their station. Those free giveaways: Highly flammable.

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

<pre>Click here to e-mail Strong Bad
strongbad@homestarrunner.com</pre>

== Easter Eggs ==
* Click on Strong Sad's stomach while he does the radio voice to see a t-shirt from WA3D FM "The Sturge" radio station.
* Click on the text in the test sentence to see the book it was based on.
* Click on "free coozies, frisbees, or bottle openers" after [[The Paper]] comes down to see them.
* Click on "annoying" after The Paper comes down to see/hear more of Strong Sad's new persona.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{normal voice}'' Oh, I disagree! I think it's more than just a matter of simple economics. In fact, I'd say...

:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{radio host voice and mannerisms, with music}'' Oh, yeah! What's the phrase that pays that plays for days? It's numbitty-nine-oh-two "The Sturge." Don't you touch that BLEBERTYBLOUGH!

:'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{confused}'' Blebertyblough?
* Click on "me" after The Paper comes down to see more of old timey Strong Bad.
:'''RADIO:''' ''{The Strong Bad}'' Stay tuned for partial excitement!

:'''THE STRONG BAD:''' ''{listening}'' Drat and double drat! It's true what they say! The radio really does add four and twenty stone to one's voice!

== Fun Facts ==

*After the text of "The Fish Was Delish..." text disappears, you can still click where it was and it will come up.
*Strong Sad's left sleeve disappears during parts of that easter egg. If you click on him again it appears.
*The totebag on Homestar's head reads: ''PRS Public Radio Sounds "Smooth 'n Smarmy"''

=== References ===
==== To other cartoons ====

*This is the second time Strong Sad has confused Strong Mad by saying something weird. The first was in [[caffeine]], after he said parakeet.
*Strong Sad's calligraphy pen is also featured in his action figure in the easter egg for [[action figure]], and from the [[Strong Bad Is in Jail Cartoon]].
*The college radio is 89.3 WSBD The Voice of CGNU, "Several Dozen Listeners". This refers to [[Crazy Go Nuts University]].
*The way in which Homestar says "highball" is a reference back to [[montage]] and how he says "hi-ya!" during the Champeenship.
*Homestar's command of "shut it up" is a reference to The Cheat's [[crazy cartoon]]
*This is the second time we've seen the interior of Homestar's House. The first was in [[caper]], when Strong Bad and The Cheat tried to steal his Jumbles. Apparently, someone fixed his cow lamp, which is seen at the righthand side of the screen.
* Strong Mad's confused reply to Strong Sad's announcer-voice tirade in the easter egg may refer to Coach Z's "Crackity towel!" in [[Halloween Fairstival]]
*Strong Sad refers to himself as a "deathly pallor," harking back to Coach Z's introduction of Strong Sad in the email [[impression]]
*Strong Bad's college radio voice sounds suspiciously like [[Senor Cardgage]].

==== To real things ====

* A [[Wikipedia:Highball_glass|highball glass]] is a tall, narrow glass typically used to serve certain types of alcohol and cocktails.
**Homestar's "highball," therefore, isn't a highball at all, since it's served in a short, stout glass rather than a tall, thin one.
*Marzipan's reference to the totebag has to do with public radio often having on-air fund raisers where they offer gifts for different levels of donations.
* The real WSBD is a news radio station in Ohio.
*The book "The fish was delish and it made quite a dish" (see Easter Eggs) is an obvious spoof of [[Wikipedia:Dr. Seuss|Dr. Seuss]]'s books, even down to the name of the author, [[Lem Sportsinterviews|Lem 'The Crazy Prof.' Sportsinterviews]].
*Marzipan's book ''Tolstoy Story 2'' is a reference to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Tolstoy Leo Tolstoy], a famous Russian author, and also to the Disney/Pixar film ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toy_Story_2 Toy Story 2]''.
*The Strong Bad saying "Drat and double drat!" is also said by Dick Dastardly from 60's cartoon "The Wacky races".
* "That's the way the cookie crumbles" was Bruce Nolan's sign off phrase in Bruce Almighty.

==== Possible references ====
*Strong Bad calling Strong Sad "Greystoke" is a possible reference to the fictional character [[Wikipedia:Tarzan|Tarzan]], who was the orphaned son of Lord Greystoke.
* Strong Bad's use of the terms "Heckle" and "Jeckle" may be a reference to a pair of cartoon crows that went by the same names.
*This may be a stretch, but 'the fish was delish, and made quite a dish' might be a reference to the old short lived live action series of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, where Michelangelo sings a similar song.

'''Strong Bad Email #78'''

Strong Bad gets the week off as Homestar fills in, and discusses the finer points of frying computer parts with carbonated beverages.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Homestar Runner]], [[Coach Z]], [[Strong Sad]], [[The Cheat]]

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hello, class. Strong Bad could not be here today, so I will be filling in. My name is Homestar Runner. ''{with a piece of chalk he writes his name on the screen, then erases it.}'' Everyone please take out paper and a number 2 pencil, and we'll begin. ''{Homestar types "sb_enail.com", rather than the usual "strongbad_email.exe", to run the e-mail program, and strangely enough, it works.}'' Lesson one:

''{He begins reading the e-mail.}''

<pre>hi Strong Bad,</pre>

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{stops reading}'' Um, I do believe I just told you my name is Homestar Runner. But I'll let it slide this time. ''{resumes reading}''

<pre>have you ever made anything out of anything?
bye
Dan from FL</pre>

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{typing}'' FL? Far-off Lands? Foreign Leadership Camp? Fish Lake? ''{stops typing}'' Oh, I got it. He's from Fish Lake. ''{resumes typing}'' Well, Jerome, I once made a birthday present for Marzipan out of some of my old CD's I didn't like anymore and placed them in a decorative bag. ''{stops typing}'' And then ''{resumes typing}'' I once made breakfast out of cold pizza and half and half. Oh! And one time I made a whole set of coasters out of ''{cut to some glasses of melonade sitting on game cartridges}'' some old Sega tapes. And I made a pair of shoes --

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{continues in voice-over}'' -- out of a pair of shoe-boxes.

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

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

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

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

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' First, you need a 2-liter bottle of Mountain Dew. Then get Strong Bad's computer. Apply liberally. ''{starts pouring Mountain Dew on Strong Bad's keyboard, a ringing noise is heard.}'' Oops, we're out of time.

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

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

''{The paper comes down. The Mountain Dew continues to be poured into Strong Bad's keyboard. After around 10 seconds or so of this...}''

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on the words "fish lake" to see a postcard from there. (Fish!)

*To see the wonderful CD collection Homestar gave Marzipan, click on "CD"

*Wait around at the end, it's not over!

== Fun Facts ==
*When you change the contrast on the Compy 386, Homestar's reflection doesn't change.

*Homestar successfully runs the email by typing ''run "sb_enail.com"'', even though Strong Bad couldn't run the email with a far less obvious error in the email [[funny]].

*This is thus far the only email without Strong Bad in it.

*The easter egg at the end is a reference to "The Never Ending Story" movies, particularly the [http://users.pandora.be/soundtrack-fm/Reviews/Klaus_Doldinger/neverending_story/neverending_story.htm title theme] from [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088323/ the first movie].

*The names of the "Sega tapes" are actually the following [[Videlectrix]] games: [[Pigs on Head]], Shploitz!, and Qwerty. The one that says just "Space" could be "Spaceshipper", also a Videlectrix game.

*Coach Z's line, "Reg had the ball at the top of the key," is a direct quote from Strong Bad's [[autobiography]] tape.

*[[Far Off Lands]] is a reference to [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD]], where they travel through this area.

*Strong Sad is wearing a shirt that says "Foreign Leadership Camp '91" as in reference to when Homestar was guessing what FL was.

* Jerome later pops up as a misbehaving kid on the Strong Bad Sings CD version of the Strong Badia National Anthem.

* The floppy in the [[Floppy Disk Container]] is labeled "The 7th Guest". This game was one of the first games available exclusively on CD-ROM and not really practical to put onto floppies.

*One of the shoe boxes on Homestar's feet is from [[Freshley's]].

== DVD Version ==
*The Fish Lake and "Old People Music" CD eggs are still viewable using the angle button on your DVD remote.
*The DVD version features hidden commentary by Mike and Strong Bad. To acccess it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

'''StrongBadEmail #76'''

Strong Bad tries his hardest not to write or sing a song about sibbie.

We also get to see some of Strong Bad's wrestling moves for the first time, as well as someone who writes fhqwhgads correctly.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[The Cheat]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[The Announcer]], [[Coach Z]] (easter egg), [[Strong Mad]] (easter egg)

== Transcript ==

'''Strong Bad:''' Email! Email! Email! Email!

''{reading email}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,

You rock! Your are the most awesomest
thing ever, but how come you made a
song about fhqwhgads?</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{stops reading}'' Whoa. Spelled fhqwhgads right. You wouldn't believe how many I get where they're like, "Hey Strong Bad, I love your fubugrass." Or "Dear Strong Bad, where's that fuguman?" Anyways... ''{continues reading}''

<pre> Will you make
a song about me?

Sibbie.</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh... ''{typing}'' You people and your demands. Look, I'm not here to fulfill your every freakin' whim, alright? Make a song about me. Send Trogdor over to my house. Put on a purple thing and dance around! Well, I've had it! I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever make a song about the sibbie. ''{A beat starts playing in the background, and Strong Bad types and reads along with it}'' And I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever write a song about-- ''{stops singing}'' HEY! WHAT!?? Where's that beat coming from?

''{Zoom out a bit. Strong Bad turns to the side and sees The Cheat bobbing around as he plays a keyboard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohh, look who thinks he's Clever Dan. What are you trying to do, man? Get out of here! ''{The Cheat picks up the keyboard and walks behind Strong Bad's computer.}'' Well, that brought this email to a screeching halt. My focus is all... crokused. Guess it's time for a break!

''{Strong Bad exits stage left. The Cheat peeks up from behind the computer. Cut to Strong Bad's Basement. Strong Bad enters stage right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And... whoop! ''{He leaps over the back of the couch, sitting down to watch TV.}'' Oh, this is the one where the guy's mom shows the guy's girlfriend the pictures of the guy when he was a baby.

'''TV VOICE:''' MOM!!! ''{canned laughter}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, the embarassment!

''{Strong Sad enters stage left, listening to an iPod.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ... never, ever, ever, ever, ever write a song about sibbie.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, shut up! Where'd you hear that?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Geez, I don't know. Some song I just downloaded off the Internet.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What...?! Ugh... I gotta get out of here. ''{He exits stage left.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{walks towards stage right}'' And I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever...

''{Cut to The Field. Homestar Runner is standing next to a radio, occasionally bobbing left and right to the music.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing on the radio}'' And I will never, ever, ever, ever, ever write a song about sibbie.

''{Strong Bad enters stage right.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{on the radio}'' And coming in at number 4, that was Strong Bad with "Song About Sibbie."

'''STRONG BAD:''' I didn't write a song about sibbie! The Cheat just started playing some beat, I mean, I wasn't even... I didn't mean to... it was never my intention to... I FREAKIN' HATE SIBBIE!

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And debuting at number 3, it's Strong Bad with "I Freakin' Hate Sibbie!"

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing on the radio}'' I freakin' hate sibbie...

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

''{As he shouts, he picks up the radio and piledrives it, then kicks it over, then slams it backwards over his head, damaging it so that it stops playing. He then stands up, breathing hard.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, man! I'd just about had it with that talking toaster.

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

== Easter Eggs ==

*Click on the words "purple thing" after Strong Bad types it to see Strong Bad doing his "Fruit-of-the-Loom" impression.
*At the very end you can click on the radio to see Strong Bad teaching a class how to say "[[fhqwhgads]]."
:''Strong Bad and Homestar are standing in front of a chalkboard with "fhqwhgads" written on it.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' "Fhqhwgads."
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Fubugrass.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Say it with a flourish. "Fhqwhgads."
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNNER:''' Fubumagoo.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' It doesn't sound like it looks. "Fhqwhgads."
:'''COACH Z:''' ''{popping up in the foreground}'' Forhordlinggrads!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Coach Z, I thought I asked you to leave, like, an hour ago.
:'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{pushing Coach Z out of the way}'' DOUGLAS!!!
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, we've had a breakthrough! You get a gold star.

== Fun Facts ==
*Strong Mad saying "Douglas!" in the fhqwhgads class Easter egg is a reference to [[cheat talk]].

*The menu on [[Strong Sad's iPod]] reads "playlists," "songs" and "settings," but a Rev. 1 iPod's menu should read "Playlists," "Artists," "Songs," "Settings," "About" and "Now Playing."

*The game on the [[Floppy Disk Container]] "50K Race/Walk" is one of the fictional games put out by Videlectrix.

*Strong Bad says his focus is "crokused." Krokus is an awesome metal band also mentioned, along with Motorhead, in [[band names]].

*When Strong Bad sings the sibbie song, he says "make a song about the sibbie," whereas the Internet/radio version uses the words "write a song about sibbie."

*The radio to which Homestar is listening also appears in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].

*The audio clips in the lines "Ohh, look who thinks he's Clever Dan! What are you trying to do, man? Get out of here!" are used in the Easter egg in VGCats's [http://www.vgcats.com/comics/extras/100.php 100th comic video], click the second '0' in '100' at the end to get to it.

''{reading}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,

Respond to this E-Mail in the
funniest way ever.

From Sam</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Let's see here...I can tape this blank floppy disk to my head ''{he doesn't actually type blank}'' and start talking gibberish and acting like the crazy squeaky guy. LEEKO! LEEKO! LEEKO! I'm a squeaky guy! ''{jumps up on the table and starts dancing around}'' I got squeaky pants! Come check out my squeaky pants dance! Squee squaw squee squaw squee squaw ''{a bottle of ketchup falls from the ceiling into his hands and he starts pouring it over everything and hitting the keyboard with his foot, producing "WHOA!! I CAN TYPE WITH ONE FOOT!"}'' punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity punkity! Aunt Ruthie! Aunt Ruthie! There's ketchup on the computer! Halzee-WHOOP!

''{He leaps from the table backwards and starts bouncing around the floor on his head}''

Punk-REER! Punk-REER! Punk-REER! Punk-REER! Punk-REER! Punk-REER!

''{He runs up to Strong Sad and starts yelling rhyming gibberish at him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Jor Jee Jibbera Jaw! Huppidda Roopja Oop Jup Jaw! Ooka Oog

''{Strong Sad begins talking over him.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Quit that!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooka Reetoo Taw!

'''STRONG SAD:''' You're freakin' me out.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{pauses shortly, then continues}'' Eeckoo Ickoo Ickoo Slaw! Hooka Hoo Ha!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did you take some of my pills again?

''{Cut to Compy. Bubs and The Cheat are dipping fries in the ketchup poured over the computer.}''

'''BUBS:''' You know what? You're right, The Cheat! This computer catsup is better than the regular kind! Or that purple kind.

''{Strong Bad walks back in}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Alright alright. Clear outta here, you two! 'Cept for you, The Cheat. ''{The Cheat grumbles}'' You better start cleaning this mess up!

'''BUBS:''' What happened in here? Some type of ketchup bomb go off?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nah, not really. I was answering an e-mail and dancing and acting like a squeaky guy and I started throwing ketchup everywhere.

'''BUBS:''' Oh. That's pretty cool.

''{Strong Bad does a double-take behind him to make sure nobody's around.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sotto voce to Bubs}'' Hey man, are ketchup bombs real?

'''BUBS:''' Not yet! ''{walks off}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to the Cheat}'' Well? Aren't you gonna go get your 409 or Awesome Sauce or whatever you're gonna clean this up with? ''{The Cheat squeaks at him and starts heading off}'' Maybe a moist chamois? ''{tries a fry with the computer ketchup}'' Ooh! This computer ketchup ''is'' pretty good! Needs more RAM, though. Maybe a couple of megachips.

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*If you click on Strong Bad's head while he is spinning upside down (the floppy disk itself does not work), Homestar will come out to say something funny. It may take a few tries to get it, you have to be quite quick.
*At the very end you can click on blob of ketchup near the left fries to see the ketchup bottle.

== Fun Facts ==
*If you watch carefully you'll see that he types, "WOAH!! I CAN TYPE WITH ONE FOOT" when he is jumping around
*Wondering why it said "file not found" the first time? Look closely and you'll see that he types "stongbad_email.exe" (the r is missing). This may be a reference to [[50 emails]].
*When he says "I could put this blank floppy disk on my head" he does not type the word blank.
*The ketchup bottle falls from the sky into his hand.
*[http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=chamois Chamois] is actually pronounced "Shammy." Strong Bad pronounces it "Sham-oyce," like it's spelled.
*When Strong Bad tapes the floppy disk to his head, the contrast dial does not affect it. Try it if you like.
*The [http://www.junkfoodnews.com/purpleketchup.htm Purple Ketchup] Bubs mentions does exist, although it is unknown whether computer catsup tastes any better.
*When Strong Bad says "Awesome Sauce" he is most likely referring to the game that The Cheat stars in, Awexome Cross 98.
*If you adjust the contrast buttons when he tapes his floppy disk to his head, the disk is the only object unaffected by the contrast buttons.
*Odell Lake (the game in the [[Floppy Disk Container]]) was an "educational" arcade game for the Apple II, released in 1986.

== DVD Version ==
*The Homestar Easter Egg is automatically enabled, so you don't have to do any clicking to access it.
*The DVD version features hidden creator's commentary. To acccess it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Ooh hoo hoo hoo E-MAIL ME GIRL! ''{stops singing}'' Unh! Once times! Twice times!

''{reading}''

<pre>Dear strongbad,
did you ever think about letting the
cheat have some other privaleges
since he helps you so much.

from your friend crazyclemens</pre>

''{he says "crazyclemens" quickly}''
''{he pronounces "privaleges" as pri-vah-lah-gez}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Privileges eh, C.C.? It does seem like The Cheat is overdue. Let's see, the last time I upgraded his privileges was when I reinstated his bathroom privileges; which he had previously abused. Let's see when he's due for an upgrade. ''{calling out}'' Oh the Cheat! ''{The Cheat walks up behind him}'' Oh the Che-! ''{The Cheat says something and it surprises Strong Bad, causing him to fall off his stool}'' WHOAH! Geeze, the Cheat! Can't sneak up on a brother like that! Lemme see your Strong Bad Reward Score Card. ''{The Cheat holds up a card titled just that, with four out of five points punched in}'' Ooh! You only need one more point to become a medallion gold plus club member!

''{The Cheat squeaks with delight, and zips off. Chainsaw noises are heard}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Ow! Both my face and hands!

''{The Cheat comes back}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bwahahaha! That's definitely worth a point. ''{He punches out the last hole}'' Alright! Now let's see what new privileges await you! ''{opens a file called "medalliongoldplus.txt"}'' Oh yeah, look at some of these! The crisper drawer, I know you've been wanting to get in there! Ooh, and the mute button! You could do plenty with that! These are WAY better than the rewards Bubs gives out for selling his magazine subscriptions! "Oh, save up points to win a tropical vacation!" What a scam that was. So what are you gonna do with your newfound powers, the Ch- ''{He turns to find that The Cheat has already left}'' Whuh? The Cheat?

''{The Cheat is in the crisper drawer in front of the TV, muting and unmuting it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Bing-bong!

''{The Cheat responds with Cheat noises, Homestar walks on with a pizza in hand.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, The Cheat! Bubs asked me to bring you this pizza you ordered. It's a large, thin crust, with mushrooms and Pop-tarts. ''{The Cheat squeaks}'' Okay! ''{Homestar puts the pizza on the couch}'' Soooo.... you wanna buy some magazine subscriptions?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{dismissively}'' Yeah, yeah, yeah...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aw, c'mon! Help me out! I'm trying to go to Acapulco.

''{Strong Bad peeks his head in}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, C.C., The Cheat ended up in the crisper drawer. So until next week, so long, and thanks for all the privaleges... I guess...

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*You can no longer click on the word "abused" when Strong Bad says it, but originally it restarted the toon. Maybe this was a placeholder for something else, who knows.
*You can click on the pizza box to see the top of it. (It says: "[[Bubs' Old Pizza]] 'It's-A Really Old'")
*You can click on the magazines after the paper comes down to see the "Hardest Chord Ever" (be sure to do this BEFORE torching them, see below.) Note: The kid playing the chord has eleven fingers!!! Talk about a difficult chord!
*After doing the above, you can also click on The Cheat's hand to get him to torch the lame magazines.

== Fun Facts ==
*"So long, and thanks for all the privaleges" is a reference to Douglas Adams' book, ''So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish''
*The Cheat is using the [[BMW Lighter]] to torch Homestar's magazines.
*Three possible references for the TV show The Cheat is watching:
**''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067023 Duel]'', a 1971 TV movie starring Dennis Weaver as a commuter menaced by a mysterious, homicidal tanker truck driver. It was Stephen Spielberg's first feature-length film.
**It may be a reference to the Generation 2 Transformer Staxx because his alternate mode was a truck.
**It may also be a reference to the movie ''Maximum Overdrive'', based on Stephen King's story about trucks that come to life and try to kill people.
*"The Flying Vee" is a reference to Gibson's Flying V guitar. Gibson designed it in 1958, along with the Explorer, in an attempt to doff its conservative image. However, it worked too well, as it sold poorly at that time. It wasn't until the late 1960's and 70's, and especially the advent of heavy metal, that the Flying V gained renewed popularity.

'''Strong Bad Email #70'''

Somebody asks Strong Bad why he is so mean to the guy with the big white face and grey body.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Sad]], [[The Poopsmith]]

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hoo! Cha! Cheritiza! Hooritajuzu-duh-email!

''{reading}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,

Why are you so mean to the guy with
the big white face and gray body?

Jen C from Millbrae, CA</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Big, white face and gray body?!? Who is she talking about? Hang on a second. ''{types run "M4RZ1P4N"}'' Is she talking about Marzipan? ''{Marzipan's picture shows up on his computer}'' No, her head is...more like a baseball bat. ''{types run "bu-hubs"}'' Maybe Bubs? No. Bubs is definitely of the blue-headed persuasion. ''{types run "undabite"}'' Homestar's got the white head, but...his body's just kinda that red skirt. ''{types run "no-neck"}'' Strong Mad doesn't really have a head ''or'' a body. ''{types run "dacheese"}'' The Cheat's physiology just plain baffles me. ''{types run "mr.smith"}'' Um, the Poopsmith? Oh, the Poopsmith! Why would she think he has a gray body? Maybe her monitor isn't calibrated right. Or maybe she's like...on one of those old black and white monitors. ''{types run "b/w", it converts his monitor to an old Macintosh layout}'' That's it! ''{tabs out of the Macintosh layout, starts typing}'' Yeah, maybe I am a little hard on that guy. I should do something nice for him.

''{Strong Bad gets up, Strong Sad walks past}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Just on my way to do some stuff--oh! What's this say? ''{reads the email, mumbling}'' Finally! My come-uppance has arrived! I should go wait somewhere inconspicuous and act none the wiser. ''{The cartoon changes so it looks like we're on the Macintosh setup with the caption "A little while later..." We see Strong Sad standing out in the field.}'' Oh, nothing, nothing... ''{Strong Bad starts walking past him with a cake behind his back}'' Oh, hey, Strong Bad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, wiggity-wiener.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did you have something you wanted to tell me?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummm...you're the wiggity-wiener?

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, not that. What are you holding behind your back?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummm...a single deuce? Doosh? ''{flips him the single deuce}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, your other back!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhhh...cake for the Poopsmith? Doosh? ''{throws the cake in Strong Sad's face}'' Aww, look what you made me do! Now I gotta make the Cheat make me another cake. ''{walks off}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I wish I could say that this is the first time this has happened to me. ''Today.''

''{Back to the Mac screen, "Another while later..." we cut to the Poopsmith and his pile of whats-it. Strong Bad walks up to him with another cake.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, doodoo man! I just wanted to apologize for throwing that first cake at Strong Sad. I put some beans on it. You know. In case maybe you wanted beans on it. ''{The Poopsmith shrugs}'' I hope there's no hard feelings. ''{The Poopsmith takes the cake}'' Anyways, it really stinks over here, so, uhh...I'm--I'm gonna go. Enjoy the cake.

''{Strong Bad walks off. The Poopsmith flinches when [[The Paper]] comes down. The Poopsmith pokes it with his shovel.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on the image of [[The Cheat]] to check out his physiology.
*At the end you can click on a bit of poo on [[The Poopsmith's Shovel|the Poopsmith's shovel]] to download those mac desktops as wallpaper.
*Also at the end, you can click on the cake to see what the cake looks like - you can keep clicking on it to add toppings to it. You can add (in this order): fortune cookies, Chinese food, grapes, Golden Grahams cereal, ice cubes, lemon slices, and finally, a [[Swiss Cake Roll]] and the "50" candle from [[50 emails]].
**For some reason or another, the cake easter egg will not work on some computers.

== Fun Facts ==
*The email's page title says "Compy 086" instead of "[[Compy 386]]", and there's an icon on the black and white mac desktop that says "Compy 086". This is a reference to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_8086 8086], the first 16-bit processor introduced by Intel. Technically, all x86 processors are preceded by 80 (e.g. 80286, 80386), but the 80 was dropped from common terminology after the 8086.
*The Macintosh System Software 6 or earlier (or any Macintosh OS as of now) is incapable of running on the 386 processor, or any other x86 processor, and no Macintosh Classic computers had a command line such as Strong Bad's.
*The first cake said, "Hey Poopsmith! Here's a cake!"
*However, the second cake (when not seen in the close-up) says "Sorry for screwing up the jumble caper", a reference to e-mail 68, [[caper]].
*The Apple desktop has [http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/p,31/gameId,1268/ Karateka] on it, a very famous game from 1984 by Jordan Mechner.
*Strong Bad's opening saying is strongly borrowed from during Strong Bad's outburst in [[funny]] at Strong Sad.
*When Strong Sad asks what Strong Bad is holding behind his back he says the Single Deuce, [[Pom Pom]]'s gesture from "[[the bird]]".
*World Games (in [[Floppy Disk Container]]} was a sports game for DOS and Commodore 64, made in 1987.

== DVD Version ==
*All of the Easter Eggs are still viewable using either the angle button on your DVD remote or pressing down to find the bad graphics Strong Bad at the end of the email.

'''Strong Bad Email #70'''

Somebody asks Strong Bad why he is so mean to the guy with the big white face and grey body.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Sad]], [[The Poopsmith]]

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hoo! Cha! Cheritiza! Hooritajuzu-duh-email!

''{reading}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,

Why are you so mean to the guy with
the big white face and gray body?

Jen C from Millbrae, CA</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Big, white face and gray body?!? Who is she talking about? Hang on a second. ''{types run "M4RZ1P4N"}'' Is she talking about Marzipan? ''{Marzipan's picture shows up on his computer}'' No, her head is...more like a baseball bat. ''{types run "bu-hubs"}'' Maybe Bubs? No. Bubs is definitely of the blue-headed persuasion. ''{types run "undabite"}'' Homestar's got the white head, but...his body's just kinda that red skirt. ''{types run "no-neck"}'' Strong Mad doesn't really have a head ''or'' a body. ''{types run "dacheese"}'' The Cheat's physiology just plain baffles me. ''{types run "mr.smith"}'' Um, the Poopsmith? Oh, the Poopsmith! Why would she think he has a gray body? Maybe her monitor isn't calibrated right. Or maybe she's like...on one of those old black and white monitors. ''{types run "b/w", it converts his monitor to an old Macintosh layout}'' That's it! ''{tabs out of the Macintosh layout, starts typing}'' Yeah, maybe I am a little hard on that guy. I should do something nice for him.

''{Strong Bad gets up, Strong Sad walks past}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Just on my way to do some stuff--oh! What's this say? ''{reads the email, mumbling}'' Finally! My come-uppance has arrived! I should go wait somewhere inconspicuous and act none the wiser. ''{The cartoon changes so it looks like we're on the Macintosh setup with the caption "A little while later..." We see Strong Sad standing out in the field.}'' Oh, nothing, nothing... ''{Strong Bad starts walking past him with a cake behind his back}'' Oh, hey, Strong Bad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, wiggity-wiener.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did you have something you wanted to tell me?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummm...you're the wiggity-wiener?

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, not that. What are you holding behind your back?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummm...a single deuce? Doosh? ''{flips him the single deuce}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, your other back!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhhh...cake for the Poopsmith? Doosh? ''{throws the cake in Strong Sad's face}'' Aww, look what you made me do! Now I gotta make the Cheat make me another cake. ''{walks off}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I wish I could say that this is the first time this has happened to me. ''Today.''

''{Back to the Mac screen, "Another while later..." we cut to the Poopsmith and his pile of whats-it. Strong Bad walks up to him with another cake.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, doodoo man! I just wanted to apologize for throwing that first cake at Strong Sad. I put some beans on it. You know. In case maybe you wanted beans on it. ''{The Poopsmith shrugs}'' I hope there's no hard feelings. ''{The Poopsmith takes the cake}'' Anyways, it really stinks over here, so, uhh...I'm--I'm gonna go. Enjoy the cake.

''{Strong Bad walks off. The Poopsmith flinches when [[The Paper]] comes down. The Poopsmith pokes it with his shovel.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on the image of [[The Cheat]] to check out his physiology.
*At the end you can click on a bit of poo on [[The Poopsmith's Shovel|the Poopsmith's shovel]] to download those mac desktops as wallpaper.
*Also at the end, you can click on the cake to see what the cake looks like - you can keep clicking on it to add toppings to it. You can add (in this order): fortune cookies, Chinese food, grapes, Golden Grahams cereal, ice cubes, lemon slices, and finally, a [[Swiss Cake Roll]] and the "50" candle from [[50 emails]].
**For some reason or another, the cake easter egg will not work on some computers.

== Fun Facts ==
*The email's page title says "Compy 086" instead of "[[Compy 386]]", and there's an icon on the black and white mac desktop that says "Compy 086". This is a reference to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_8086 8086], the first 16-bit processor introduced by Intel. Technically, all x86 processors are preceded by 80 (e.g. 80286, 80386), but the 80 was dropped from common terminology after the 8086.
*The Macintosh System Software 6 or earlier (or any Macintosh OS as of now) is incapable of running on the 386 processor, or any other x86 processor, and no Macintosh Classic computers had a command line such as Strong Bad's.
*The first cake said, "Hey Poopsmith! Here's a cake!"
*However, the second cake (when not seen in the close-up) says "Sorry for screwing up the jumble caper", a reference to e-mail 68, [[caper]].
*The Apple desktop has [http://www.mobygames.com/game/sheet/p,31/gameId,1268/ Karateka] on it, a very famous game from 1984 by Jordan Mechner.
*Strong Bad's opening saying is strongly borrowed from during Strong Bad's outburst in [[funny]] at Strong Sad.
*When Strong Sad asks what Strong Bad is holding behind his back he says the Single Deuce, [[Pom Pom]]'s gesture from "[[the bird]]".
*World Games (in [[Floppy Disk Container]] was a sports game for DOS and Commodore 64, made in 1987.

== DVD Version ==
*All of the Easter Eggs are still viewable using either the angle button on your DVD remote or pressing down to find the bad graphics Strong Bad at the end of the email.

'''Strong Bad Email #68'''

[[Strong Bad]] tries to pull a caper with [[The Cheat]], but The Cheat screws it up. However, Strong Bad can't stay mad at him for long, and after some singing, the two are best friends again. Awww.... how cute.

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

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' strongbad, underscore, email, dot e-x-e. Enter.

''{reading}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,

Why don't you and the Cheat pull a
caper of some sort. It seems like
there has been little cooperation
between the two of you as of late.

James
Detroit Mi</pre>

''{Strong Bad pronounces it "Mi" like "me"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing:}'' Well, you're right. It's no secret that The Cheat and I haven't been getting along very well.... since he screwed up our last caper.

''{cuts to Strong Bad and The Cheat in Homestar's house at night, stealing his newspaper.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't care about the crosswords, man, just the jumbles, the jumbles!

''{The Cheat says something}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know, go look over there.

''{The Cheat says something and goes over to a table with a cow lamp on it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, look out! Oh, great, man.

''{The Cheat knocks over the lamp, breaking it. A light turns on and Homestar comes out. He is wearing pajamas, and it appears he hasn't shaved. Strong Bad and The Cheat try not to look guilty.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{tired}'' Oh, hey Strong Sad. Batman. What are you guys doing in my house?

'''STRONG BAD:''' We've been ID'd! Every man for himself! ''{he and The Cheat run away}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks for stopping by, you guys. Thanks for breaking my cow lamp.

''{cuts back to the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, man. ''{Compy 386 starts playing music}'' Where did we go wrong? It seems like just yesterday we were setting fire to Strong Sad's underwears.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' That WAS yesterday.

'''STRONG BAD:''' This one's for you. ''{singing to the Compy's music}'' 
I got mad at The Cheat, uh! 
For screwing up the jumble caper, uh! 
I hope I don't see his name in the paper, in the obituaries 
Cause that would mean he's dead. 
''{pulls back to show Strong Mad and Strong Sad standing next to the computer clapping to the beat}'' 
The Cheat is not dead, 
I'm so glad The Cheat is not dead. 
The Cheat is not dead,

'''STRONG MAD:''' DEAD!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohhh, I'm so glad The Cheat is not dead. 
The Cheat is not dead,

'''STRONG SAD:''' Dead!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm so glad The Cheat is not- ''{stops singing}'' Just the claps! Just the claps... Strong Sad, I didn't know you had any rhythm.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh sure, I've got tons of rhythm.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Keep it rolling for me guys, keep it rolling.

''{Strong Bad runs out to the field where The Cheat is waiting for him. The Compy is still playing the music.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, I... I just wanted to say that...

''{The Cheat says something that sounds like "I'm sorry"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I can't stay mad at you!

''{The Cheat says something}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, how about a little kick for old time's sake?

''{The Cheat gives an angry look}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nah, I'm just kidding, man. ''{makes kicking motions}'' Oh, what, watch me now! Had you there.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. About five seconds later, Homestar walks out. He is still in his pajamas.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You guys are so cute. ''{pause}'' Man, I should probably get dressed or something. What is it, like three in the afternoon? Looking good, Homestar.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, what's the deal? I didn't know you had to shave.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I don't. It's cinnamon.

== Easter Eggs ==
*After you see the Jumble Caper happen, you can click on the word "caper" to see their original plan.
*At the end you can click on The Cheat's eyes to see what became of Strong Bad's rhythm section.
:''{Cut back to Strong Bad's computer room. Strong Sad and Strong Mad are still clapping in time to the music}''
:'''STRONG SAD:''' Um... do you think we can stop now?
:'''STRONG MAD:''' KEEP IT ROLLIN'!
*If you wait for some time after the end Homestar will come out in his pajamas. Click on his slippers to see a jumble. You can also print the jumble!

== Fun Facts ==
*Check out the pictures on Homestar's wall - they show previous versions of him.
*Homestar is wearing one of the shirts you can buy in the store.
*''(The answer to the Jumble is "UN TACO".)'' Phew! '''This is a difficult one''', eh?
*When you click on The Cheat's eyes at the end and it shows Strong Mad and Strong Sad, the contrast buttons are missing on Strong Bad's computer. (Much like other emails with the same camera position)
*Homestar's comment, "Hey, Strong Sad. Batman," may be referring to The Cheat's pose when Homestar walks in. With his arms in the air, he represents the comic book character's mask.
*This is the one of the only times when Homestar is wearing a different shirt, besides in 20X6, 1936, a [[flashback]] easter egg, and [[montage]].
* Manhunter New York (seen in the [[Floppy Disk Container]]) was an adventure game for DOS, Atari ST, and Amiga, released in 1988.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Hey, can you guys do my taxes next? ... You guys? ... Man, that's one big adding machine.

== Easter Eggs ==

*On the Monday following [[the show]], there was no new [[Strong Bad Email]]. Instead, there was a post-it note that said "In da Basement". If you clicked on it, it took you to the aformentioned toon short.
*When [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] is using [[Strong Bad]]'s computer the contrast knobs are missing, but you can click on them.
*If you wait for [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] to come by and ask them to do his taxes - after he says, "Man that is one big adding machine" you can click on the [[TROGDOR!]] game to make it say "[[Trogdor]]"
*You can click on the top of [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]]'s pile of papers to see his expenses.
*When you have [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]]'s expenses displayed, you can click and hold on the last item in the list "straps and practice" to see a picture of something that looks like a hand-drawn baseball card.

== Fun Facts ==
*'''Homestar's Expenses'''
::$150: pork b/w beans
::$2000: witch's brew
::$4000: refinance my hat

::$1000: Fluffy Puffs
::$500: monthly protection to Strong Bad
::$500: monthly protection to Strong Mad
::$500: monthly protection to The Cheat
::$75: straps and practice
::It comes out to $8727.07.
*Pork b/w beans is a reference to the Strong Bad Email [[helium]] , in which [[Marzipan (character)|Marzipan]] and [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] discuss the subject briefly. The abbreviation "w/" for "with" is not used, instead it's "b/w" which was used on old vinyl records and singles to refer to the B-side ("b/w" = "backed with").
*[[Witches' Brew]] is, of course, a reference to the holiday toon [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], in which one [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] uses the phrase excessively.
*[[Strong Mad]] says "W-2!" when [[Strong Bad]] lies and says that they're doing [[The Cheat]]'s taxes. W-2 is an IRS tax form.
*The page title "Quite exciting this computer magic" is a quote from the movie "This Is Spinal Tap". One of the band members says it while playing Atari in the tour bus.
*The top paper in [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]]'s stack of papers says important document #402 (zoom in).
*"Hey Strong Bad, can I borrow your fondue pot again?" refers to [[50 emails]].
* The disk in the [[Floppy Disk Container]] is Manhunter New York. This was an adventure game for DOS, Atari ST, and Amiga, released in 1988.

[[Image:sbemail65.PNG|thumb|Filing all the crap emails]]

'''Strong Bad Email #65'''

Strong Bad explains what happens to all the unused emails he gets every week.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[The Cheat]], [[Bubs]], [[Strong Mad]]

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh! Check it out! Another one of those...sbemails!

''{reading}''

<pre>Hey Strong Bad,
I was wondering what you do with the
emails that don't get showed on the
weekly email.

Dan Chase,
Aurora, Illinois</pre>

''{Strong Bad stops and says "Hey!" after reading "Hey Strong Bad," and pronounces Illinois as "Illi-nwah"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh... ''{typing}'' Wha-hoah, Dan. You mean what do I do with the thousands and THOUSANDS of near unreadable emails I get every day? I like to mix it up!

''{cut to the Cheat carrying some papers, organizing them into huge stacks}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Sometimes I give them to the Cheat for filing. And archiving.

''{The Cheat sticks an email in the Medium category. Strong Bad sticks his head in the screen. The Cheat makes cheat noises.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No man, that's a short.

''{The Cheat shrugs, and attempts to retrieve the e-mail, but is too short to reach the top of the pile. Cut to Strong Bad and Bubs standing at the stick, not facing each other. Strong Bad has a CD, Bubs has a bag of cash labeled "The Payoff".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Or if I'm strapped for cash, I'll sell the e-mail addresses to Bubs for use in his free weekly spamvertisements.

''{Strong Bad drops the CD}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oops! Lookit that! I dropped a CD of five-thousand email addresses!

''{Bubs throws the bag of money on the ground}''

'''BUBS:''' Whoops! I dropped a quarter for each one!

''{Cut to Strong Mad crumpling up papers}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And sometimes I give them to my big brother Strong Mad, for the Japanese art of paper-folding.

''{Strong Bad walks on screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, how are your origamis? Is that one the crane?

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{holds up two crumpled-up balls of paper}'' THIS IS A LOTUS FLOWER! THIS IS A PRAYING MANTIS!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah, that's great, man. {sniffs} Incredible likeness.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad in front of the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But mostly the emails I don't use just get... ''{stops typing and stands up, backing up slowly}'' A-digga...a-digga...a-digga-digga...a-digga...a-diggity... ''{starts running back towards the desk}'' DIGGITY DIGGITY DIGGITY DIGGITY A-DELETEEEEEED!!!!!! ''{jumps and does an elbow drop on the keyboard, breaking the desk in half. After a pause, the screen flashes DELETED!!}'' Ohhhhh....I think I broke my clavicus...majorus.

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*When you see The Cheat with the 3 stacks of emails, you can click on the top of each pile for a sample of some emails. (click the close button to close the email.)
*You can click on the top of Strong Mad's pile of emails for another look at these wonderful emails Strong Bad gets.
*At the very end you can click on the words on Strong Bad's screen to bring up Bubs' Weekly Spamvertisement.
*You can click on the picture of the product in the Weekly Spamvertisement to see more products from Bubs.
**The products are:
***A plastic tape dispenser
***A small case of ketchup
***A jar of beans & vegetables

== Fun Facts ==
*Here are the unused emails which appear in this toon:
**Medium stack:
<pre>Dear Strong Bad,
This is my best one. Do you like it! I hope that you
do.</pre>
<pre>HOW DUMB IS IT BEING A DUMB ROBOT. I AM GLAD YOU ARE A
ROBOT NOT ME. GO AND KILL ANY ONE YOU HATE.

YOUR NOT BIGGEST FAN

**Tall stack:

butt and your stupid and a piece of crap. Oh yeah your

sincerely, me Andrew Shapiro

PS: Your still crap and always will be crap. And
please kill hamesturrunner please PLEASE PLEASE
PLEASE.
Bye bye.</pre>
**Strong Mad's stack:
<pre>Dear, Strong Bad
Do you enloy reasing?</pre>
*The CD he gives Bubs says "The Goods" and Bubs's bag of money says "The Payoff"
*It's quite odd that he has a CD with stuff that he put on it, considering he has a 386 with no CD drive or CD burner.
*The "Digga-Digga-Digga... DELETED!" line is used again in [[car]]
*The quarters that Bubs gives Strong Bad in exchange for the email addresses total $1,250 ($0.25 x 5,000), and would weigh 62.37lbs.
*The email address the Weekly Spamvertisement is directed to (squealydee678@kindergartencop.edu) is a reference to the Arnold Schwarzenegger film Kindergarten Cop.
*According to commentary on the [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]] the "clavicus... majorus" line was originally to be used in the unfinished toon [[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]].
*This is one of the few instances where you can actually understand one of The Cheat's words. He says "hello" when we see him filing unused email into the three stacks.
*"It happened to my roommate" in the spam easter egg probably refers to chain letters, and the fact that most chain letters involve some type of miracle happening, as well as saying "It happened to ''this person''", as well as the fact of forwarding it to 50 people in order for it "to happen to you".
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] holds Friendly Ware.This software package for the PC, released in 1987, included games, a number of financial programs, eye and ear tests, an ASCII drawing program, a biorhythm charter (which suffers from the Y2K bug), sports prediction software, and an introduction to computing.

:''This article is about the [[Strong Bad Email]]. For the short, see [[The Interview]].''

'''Strong Bad Email #62'''

Kerrek asks [[Strong Bad]] about [[Homsar (character) | Homsar]].

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Homsar (character) | Homsar]], [[The Cheat]]

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh...so many emails, so little good emails.

''{reading}''

<pre>What's up with Homsar? I know he's
weird and all, but don't you think we
deserve to know a bit more about him?
I think you should do an interview so
we can finally find out what his
deal is.

Kerrek
PA</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, that's a pretty cool name! ''{typing in a Gothic blackletter font}'' And then Trogdor smote the Kerrek, and all was laid to burnination. ''{Clears the screen, starts typing normally}'' My good Kerrek, you might enjoy such an encounter, but I know I can't talk to that guy for more than about 3 seconds before I start thinking that gnawing my own leg off might be a more better way to spend my time...more..more better. ''{clears screen, continues typing}'' Let me show you how it would go down with post-its attached to the top of pens.

''{Strong Bad ducks his head and brings up two pens with Post-It notes attached to them, one with a crude drawing of Strong Bad, the other of Homsar}''

'''STRONG BAD FIGURE:''' Alright then. For the record, please. Tell us who you are.

'''HOMSAR FIGURE:''' DaAaAaA! I'm a song from the sixties!

'''STRONG BAD FIGURE:''' That's just nonsense. Are you trying to make some sense?

'''HOMSAR FIGURE:''' AaAaA! Rightio! I think I can twice!

'''STRONG BAD FIGURE:''' Homsar, tell us about your childhood.

'''HOMSAR FIGURE:''' DaAa! I was raised by a cup of coffee.

'''STRONG BAD FIGURE:''' Interesting. So! How did you end up here?

'''HOMSAR FIGURE:''' 'Twas the pride of the peaches.

'''STRONG BAD FIGURE:''' 'Twas the pride of the peaches, huh? You got any last remarks?

'''HOMSAR FIGURE:''' DaAaA! Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk!

'''STRONG BAD FIGURE:''' Okay, interview over. Commence beating!

''{Strong Bad has the Strong Bad Post-It beat the Homsar Post-It. The doorbell rings.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! That'll be the Cheat with my Thai iced tea! Come on in!

''{Cut to the entryway. It is not the Cheat, but Homsar himself.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Hey Reggie! Is that rhinoceros around?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... I can only assume you're talking to me and asking about Strong Sad. He's in the basement.

'''HOMSAR:''' I'm a song from the sixties.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{salting his own leg}'' If you don't get down there quick, things could get real ugly around here.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. The Cheat shows up with Strong Bad's Thai iced tea but he doesn't take it. The Cheat walks away again.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Once Strong Bad starts typing and the name Kerrek comes up you can click on it and bring up a Strong Sad drawing of Trogdor smiting [[Kerrek]].

*Click on Strong Bad's pen-postit puppets to see a few different versions - you can do this for the remainder of this one, when you see them.
**This also works with Homsar.
*Once you see Homsar, you can click on the light switches for some cool light effects, like in [[techno]].

*After The Cheat goes away (or even before he shows up) you can click on the Homsar pen puppet to bring up a funny [[Homsar Main Page]], which is also accessible by clicking the "4" in "2004" on any main page except the [[Luau Main Page]].
**The original version of the Homsar main page had only the Toons and Games buttons. After it was added as an easter egg on the main pages, it was normalized to fit in (well, more or less) with the rest of the menus.

== Fun Facts ==
*The Kerrek appears later in [[Peasant's Quest]].
*The flying Strong Bad is a reference to the Bubble, an enemy from the Legend of Zelda series.
*This marks the second time Strong Bad talks about salting and eating his foot. In [[island]], he says, while pondering what life on a deserted island with Homestar would be like, "And at some point my foot would look like a sandwich, and i would put salt on it and try to eat it, and it'd be like, 'Ahh, it's my foot!'"
*One of Strong Bad's Post-it alter egos is his action figure from the email [[action figure]]
*Strong Bad's grammar mistakes are surprising, considering his criticism of others:
**the "more better" part
**at the beginning, he should say "so few good emails" (Though this is, perhaps, an intentional error, playing on the expectation that he was about to say "so little time.")
*Homsar's short, squat, post-it character (click through it a few times) looks exactly like Homestar in [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD]]. Strong Bad even makes fun of the crude early version in the commentary!
*"Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk" is something Shaquille O'Neal once said.
* The [[Floppy Disk Container]] displays Rise Of The Dragon: a puzzle game for DOS, Amiga, and Sega CD, released in 1990.

== DVD Version ==
*To view the easter eggs, use the angle button on your DVD remote. (Except for The Cheat giving Strong Bad his Thai iced tea, which comes up automatically, and the Homsar link, which has been removed.)

'''Strong Bad Email #60'''

Strong Bad has to fight off the hordes of The Cheat-lovers.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[The Cheat]]

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Chee-wit! Chee-wit! Chee-wi-chee-wi-email.

''{reading}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,

How come you never let The Cheat
answer any emails?

Lasko
Milwaukee, WI</pre>

''{Strong Bad says "Lasko" low, long, and drawn-out and says "WI" as "Wisaconasin"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, Lasko ''{said as before}'', The Cheat is not very popular and he never really gets many emails and um, to tell you the truth, I don't even think he has a computer. ''{stops typing}'' Alright, next email.

''{He makes a vocal sound effect as the next e-mail scrolls up (henceforth "vocal sfx"), and starts reading.}''

<pre>Hey Strong Bad!

i love The Cheat! can you ask him for
me if he is taken? because i like him
WAY better then you

-Nobuyoshi Shigeta, New York</pre>

''{Strong Bad stops reading at "i like him WAY better then-"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Augh, seen enough of that one.

''{vocal sfx; reading}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,

You and the Cheat are the only reason
I go on this website. Actually just
the Cheat, but you are ok too.

Love,
Mito</pre>

''{Strong Bad stops reading for a second after the first sentence, and says "Oh, thank you!" His mood sours for the rest of the email, however, and Strong Bad says "Mito" as "Dumpo"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Geez, all these Cheat emails. Moving on. ''{The screen flashes "MOVING ON!!" with the "deleted" noise and the blue screen. We zoom out to see The Cheat watching the email on his iMac by a hidden video camera in the computer room. He gets progressively angrier as it progresses.}''

''{vocal sfx; reading}'

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,
I think The Cheat is hot. Could
you hook us up?

Haelee,
Utah</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's funny, Haelee. I think the Cheat is deleted. BAAH! ''{DELETED!! reading}''

<pre>Hey Strong Bad

My girlfriend thinks The Cheat
is cute.

Tyler,
California</pre>

''{The Cheat storms off in a fit. Cut back to just Strong Bad at Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, people! He's not even that cute! He looks like a...a cheese! ''{The Cheat walks up to him}'' Or maybe an anvil. ''{The Cheat squeaks angrily.}'' Uhhh...which are two of the finest things in life. A cheese...or an anvil. Hey The Cheat! Just, uh, talking you up to one of the fans here! ''{The Cheat squeaks}'' Oh. So you been...watching the email, huh? ''{The Cheat squeaks}'' No, I haven't been holding out on you! I made all those emails up! Uh... most of the emails you get are not that friendly, lemme tell you. If you just turn around for a second I could show you! ''{pause, then Strong Bad tapes a piece of paper to Compy saying "the cheat" covering the place where Strong Bad's name usually appears}'' HUTTAH!

''{reading}''

<pre>DEAR the cheat
WHERE THE HECK IS YOU SHIRT???
YOUR GLOVES ARE STUPID!

I HATE YOU,
HOLMES, California</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to The Cheat}'' See? This guy doesn't like that you don't have a shirt on, and he thinks your gloves are stupid! And then there's this one:

''{reading}''

<pre>Dear the cheat

how do you type with boxing
gloves on your hands?

derek</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to The Cheat}'' I've been wondering about that, too! What is with you and those boxing gloves anyway?

''{The Cheat squeaks and a black cloud of smoke escapes from his head. He walks away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So okay bye! Whooh. I think I handled that pretty well! That coulda been...awkward. I deserve a reward. ''{he runs take-a-break.exe, which is a screen saver of a beach}'' Aahhh... so relaxing. Fshhhhhhhhh! Fshhhhhhhhh! Listen to the waves, man. ''{a bird flaps past}'' Oh, hello my winged friend!

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the very end while Strong Bad is watching "Take-a-break.exe" you can click on the bird to download the "take-a-break.exe" for Windows or Mac.

== Fun Facts ==
*This is the only e-mail with an exclamation mark in the title.
*Believe it or not, this is the only time that the Compy uses the proper "DELETED!!!" screen on a specific e-mail (it was being used more generally in [[unused emails]] and [[replacement]], and all other instances on the Compy are things like "MATT!!" and "NOTTA CHANCE!!")
**Technically, he also DELETED!!! the fast-forwarded email about Delaware during [[2 emails]], but it is not obvious or part of the plot of the email.
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] holds Starflight, a long-winded spaceship game for the PC, released in 1986.

== DVD Version ==
*The link to download take-a-break.exe has obviously been removed. However, you can click on a hidden Strong Bad icon in the bottom-left corner of the Compy 386 screen to get a fullscreen demo of Take A Break.

'''Strong Bad Email #55'''

Strong Bad tries to get The Cheat to speak English, without much luck.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[The Cheat]], [[Strong Mad]], [[Strong Sad]]

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' Duh duh dududududududududuh duhduhduhduhduhduh e-mail.

''{reading}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,

I think the Cheat is the coolest
thing ever, but why can't I
understand him? Please tell the
Cheat to talk normal.

Sincerely,

Cory, North Dakota</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa. The entire town of Cory, North Dakota decided to e-mail me. That was nice of them.

''{Strong Bad's voice echoes and sounds like it's coming out of a megaphone}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Citizens of Cory! Thank you for your email. Hang on. Let me get the Cheat.

''{Strong Bad turns around in his chair and calls for The Cheat, his voice normal}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, the Che- Oh! The Cheat.

''{Strong Bad sees that The Cheat is standing beside him}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Some town here can't understand you. Say something normal, like-er-um-uhhh... Douglas.

'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Douglas.

'''THE CHEAT:''' Mehmeh

'''STRONG BAD:''' Douglas!

'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{turning back to his computer, typing}'' Well, I guess you can't expect much from a furry little man who hangs out with my brother all day. ''{stops typing}'' Speaking of...

''{Strong Bad turns around again, calling for Strong Mad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Strong Ma- Whoa!

''{He sees that Strong Mad is standing beside him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad. Say Douglas.

'''STRONG MAD:''' DAAHH!!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Douglas.

'''STRONG MAD:''' DAAAAAAHHH!!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Douglas!

'''STRONG MAD:''' Dah?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{turning back to his computer again and starts typing}'' So, there you have it, people of Cory, North Dakota. ''{stops typing}'' Eh- oh. Hang on a second.

''{Strong Bad turns away again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey! Strong Sad!

''{Strong Sad arrives}''

''{Strong Bad hits him in the stomach with the keyboard}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Douglas!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, there you have it, people of Cory, North Dakota. The Cheat can't say anything normal, like Douglas.

''{Something that sounds like "Douglas" said in a The Cheat voice is heard off to the left and Strong Bad turns around}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the- Who said Douglas?

''{"Douglas" is heard again, but then it cuts to a window}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, wait, it's just the branch of that old sycamore rubbing against the window. It was nothing to worry about after all.

''{Strong Bad turns back to his computer again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, I guess you guys are just gonna have to learn how to speak The Cheat. I know a little myself... ''{stops typing}'' You know, like, ''{speaks some The Cheat}'', and, um, ''{speaks more The Cheat}'', you know... I don't know what any of that means, but, uh, it really seems to tick The Cheat off when I say it, so, I say it to him all the time. Anyways, give it up for me! ... Guys?

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end of this email you can click on "you guys" to bring up a goofy Cory ND postcard.
*Also at the end of this email you can also click on the words, "Learn How to Speak The Cheat" to get a sample from the LP.
'''The Cheat Phrases and what they mean:'''
**"Menameh, meNAHmanama" is a phrase The Cheat used to offer to offer [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] a glass of melonade in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]] and apparently means "Hey, Homestar, would you like 147 glasses of melonade?"
**"Menamana, ''{Sudden drop in pitch}'' MAHna" is the phrase The Cheat use when Homestar (Strong Bad) asked what he thought of [[The King of Town]]'s pumpkin at the [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] and apparently means "The King of Town is SO lame."
**"ManaMAna?!" is what he says in [[superhero name]] before Strong Bad says the cape looks great. It means "What, don't you like this costume?"
**"Humana, (can't make out the rest)" is what he said to Strong Bad in [[sb_email 22]] and means "Check it out, this is going to be great. Just say 'Screw all y'all!'."
*Just before the record stops playing (in the easter egg) it says "All the swears". TBC do not want to let Homestar fans hear swear words.

== Fun Facts ==

*Even though The Cheat never says "Douglas" in this email, he's got to be able to speak English. If not, how else could he do imitations of the other characters when he makes his Powered by The Cheat videos? The other characters are obviously not providing their own voices.
*Strong Bad nearly always capitalizes the word ''The'' in "The Cheat" (including at the end of this email), but when he first begins replying, he types "Hang on. Let me get the Cheat."
*Later on in this email, Strong Bad hits Strong Sad with a keyboard and Strong Sad says, "Douglas." It's [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] saying "Douglas," not [[Matt Chapman|Matt]]. [http://www.theinkhole.com/homestar3.htm]
*Strong Mad finally says "DOUGLAS!" in an easter egg at the end of [[sibbie]].
*The LP was made by Thorax, also known as [[Thorax Corporation]].
*When Strong Bad types "Hang on a second." and calls "Hey, Strong Sad!", the screen says "Hnag on a second" after the change in camera view.
*When Strong Bad calls for Strong Mad, while he's talking to him, the screen says, Citizens of Cory!...yadayada. Like the way it was before he called Strong Mad in there. It's missing the part where he typed "Well, you can't expect much..."
*In the easter egg, you can see "Greetings from [[Monkey D]]".
**In this egg, [[Monkey D]] is wearing a shirt that says "I (heart) the cheese". In [[vacation]], he had a similar shirt that said "I (heart) stong band".
*While the "learn to speak the cheat" record is playing, you can click the word "thorax" on the case to go back to the [[Strong Bad E-mail]] menu. This is because this word is right above the "back" button
*147, the number of glasses of melonade that The Cheat apparently offered to Homestar in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]] (according to the record in the easter egg), is exactly the number of marshmallows that Homestar had to say he'd eat in [[Fluffy Puff Commercial]]. Additionally, in the third-to-last take of the same, Homestar mistakenly says he'd drink 147 glasses of melonade as well. This comment is posted here, rather than in A Jumping Jack Contest, because we can't understand Cheatspeak and because the number 147 otherwise did not come up in A Jumping Jack Contest. And because A Jumping Jack Contest was created before Fluffy Puff Commercial anyway.
*Since sycamores are white, the black tree scratching on Strong Bad's window wouldn't be a sycamore.
* The [[Floppy Disk Container]] holds Lode Runner, a strategy type game for DOS and Apple.

== DVD Version ==
*The Cheat's first "meh" seems to have accidentally been omitted
*As well, the dialogue for that Easter Egg seems to have been passed through a sound filter to make it sound old and scratchy.

''{Strong Bad turns back to his computer again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, I guess you guys are just gonna have to learn how to speak The Cheat. I know a little myself... ''{stops typing}'' You know, like, ''{speaks some The Cheat}'', and, um, ''{speaks more The Cheat}'', you know... I don't know what any of that means, but, uh, it really seems to tick The Cheat off when I say it, so, I say it to him all the time. Anyways, give it up for me! ... Guys?

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end of this email you can click on "you guys" to bring up a goofy Cory ND postcard.
*Also at the end of this email you can also click on the words, "Learn How to Speak The Cheat" to get a sample from the LP.

== Fun Facts ==

*Even though The Cheat never says "Douglas" in this email, he's got to be able to speak English. If not, how else could he do imitations of the other characters when he makes his Powered by The Cheat videos? The other characters are obviously not providing their own voices.
*Strong Bad nearly always capitalizes the word ''The'' in "The Cheat" (including at the end of this email), but when he first begins replying, he types "Hang on. Let me get the Cheat."
*Later on in this email, Strong Bad hits Strong Sad with a keyboard and Strong Sad says, "Douglas." It's [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] saying "Douglas," not [[Matt Chapman|Matt]]. [http://www.theinkhole.com/homestar3.htm]
*Strong Mad finally says "DOUGLAS!" in an easter egg at the end of [[sibbie]].
*The LP was made by Thorax, also known as [[Thorax Corporation]].
*When Strong Bad types "Hang on a second." and calls "Hey, Strong Sad!", the screen says "Hnag on a second" after the change in camera view.
*When Strong Bad calls for Strong Mad, while he's talking to him, the screen says, Citizens of Cory!...yadayada. Like the way it was before he called Strong Mad in there. It's missing the part where he typed "Well, you can't expect much..."
*In the easter egg, you can see "Greetings from [[Monkey D]]".
**In this egg, [[Monkey D]] is wearing a shirt that says "I (heart) the cheese". In [[vacation]], he had a similar shirt that said "I (heart) stong band".
*While the "learn to speak the cheat" record is playing, you can click the word "thorax" on the case to go back to the [[Strong Bad E-mail]] menu. This is because this word is right above the "back" button
*147, the number of glasses of melonade that The Cheat apparently offered to Homestar in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]] (according to the record in the easter egg), is exactly the number of marshmallows that Homestar had to say he'd eat in [[Fluffy Puff Commercial]]. Additionally, in the third-to-last take of the same, Homestar mistakenly says he'd drink 147 glasses of melonade as well. This comment is posted here, rather than in A Jumping Jack Contest, because we can't understand Cheatspeak and because the number 147 otherwise did not come up in A Jumping Jack Contest. And because A Jumping Jack Contest was created before Fluffy Puff Commercial anyway.
*Since sycamores are white, the black tree scratching on Strong Bad's window wouldn't be a sycamore.

== DVD Version ==
*The Cheat's first "meh" seems to have accidentally been omitted
*As well, the dialogue for that Easter Egg seems to have been passed through a sound filter to make it sound old and scratchy.

Scott

Oh, even I know what to do with this one. ''{types}'' BALEETED! ''{hits enter, nothing happens}'' Huh? Oh. Umm... ''{types}'' DELTEATED! ''{enter, nothing happens}'' No? Uhh... Del Taco?

''{Cut to Strong Bad talking on the phone}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, they're more like elephant feet. Yeah. So what do you think, like, 50 bucks? Sounds good. I'll leave the key under the atmay.

''{Back to Compy 386. Homestar has typed in many, many words, but none of them do anything.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What is that stupid word? ''{He types in "da cheated" and hits enter. The computer plays a tune and the blue "Flagrant System Error" screen comes up}'' Uh oh. This does not look good for Homestar Runner.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad on the phone}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay. Bye!

''{He hangs up and walks off. Cut back to the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay. Back to the 50 emails. ''{He sits down. There's a piece of paper over the monitor with a Windows error window titled "This is real." It says "System report: Everything is fine. Nothing is ruined." Strong Bad reads the message}'' Everything is fine. Nothing is ruined. Oh, that's good to hear. Let's just, wait a minute... ''{he tears off the paper and sees the blue screen}'' Wha... Flagrant Error? What the... where did all my emails go?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? The paper? This isn't over yet! Go back up, go back up! ''{He swats at the paper and then tries to hold it up off the screen}'' Wait, wait! I think I can remember some of those emails! Uh, "Dear Strong Bad, why are you so awesome? Yours truly, Dumpface." Well, Dumpface, it's a long story. It all started with The Cheat one day when he was going down to the...

''{The screen, and Strong Bad's voice, slowly fade out. A paper plate with a Swiss Cake Roll with a "50" candle on it fades in. [[The Paper]] comes down again.}''

== Easter Eggs ==

*When Strong Bad types the word, "book" you can click on it and bring up a picture of Strong Bad's idea of this book idea.
* At the end, click on the "50th email [[Swiss Cake Roll]]" to see a funny "Olde Thyme" Strong Bad cartoon.

:'''THE STRONG BAD:''' Curses! This is all anyone ever asks me! ''{manning the telegraph}'' You buffoon! Stop. You... carpetbagger. Stop. I'll give you what's for!
:''{The Sneak walks onscreen}''
:'''THE STRONG BAD:''' The Sneak! How was that? I told that poor sap I'd give him what's for! Yes... now go and steal me fresh jam!
:''{The Sneak scurries off}''

== Fun Facts ==

*Strong Bad starts by saying "ready, go!" This is a referance to email 20, when he said that to start his spring cleaning.
*When Strong Bad talks about the Great Leg and the Leg of Hope, he is referring to the SNES RPG Secret of Mana. You can upgrade the Great Bow into the Bow of Hope.
*When he responds to Email #3 ("What is your favorite leg?"), Strong Bad mentions tape-leg. This is a reference to [[tape-leg]], one of his past emails, and represents yet another [[Tape leg|inside joke]] of the Homestarverse.
*The front floppy in the [[Floppy Disk Container]] is [http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?name=Tongue+of+The+Fatman Tongue of the Fatman], a classic... well, at least old... game for the PC.
*Homestar's attempts at DELETED:
**Baleeted
**Delteated
**Deltaco
**freaky D'td
**chadeated
**deedleated
**meathead?
**dltd
**duh lee ted
**teeteeted
**bubs
**diddley dee
**repeated
**733t3d
**3-D movie
**del monte
**ddddddd
**da cheated
**diggity
**beefeated
**stupid word
**believe it
**received it
**stratego
**3TDted
**seabed
**whitebread
**open sesame
**marie
**hello
**de la soul
**geleted
**feeted
*Some of the commands Homestar tries are references. Some are more obvious than others:
**'del monte' - A popular brand of fruit juice.
**'beefeated' - 'Beefeaters' is a nickname for the Yeomen Warders of the Tower of London. There is also a 'Beefeaters' London Dry Gin sold in most liquor stores.
**'meathead?' - This is probably referring to a catch phrase from the sitcom 'All in the Family' in which Archie Bunker called his son-in-law Mike 'Meathead'.
**'stratego' - Stratego is a board game.
**'open sesame' - Famous words from the tale 'Ali Baba and the Forty Theives'.
**'de la soul' - De La Soul is actually a rap group.
**'3-D Movie' could be a reference to the very fun, but overlooked PC game, Microsoft 3-D Movie Maker.
**'733t3d' - A reference to '1337 speak', a language used on the internet where letters are replaced by numbers or symbols.
**'diggity' is what Strong Bad says in [[unused emails]] when he races to his computer, deletes his email, and breaks his desk (as well as his clavicus majorus).
*As in [[anything]], when you adjust the contrast while Homestar is at the computer, his reflection isn't affected.
*Strong Bad is talking to a potential customer about 'elephant feet'. Apparently he plans to sell Strong Sad's legs on the black market, or something. (Or have him assassinated; See [[fingers]]. ) This makes sense in the context of the previous email asking him what his favorite leg is. Furthermore, in a [[Strong_Sad_Blog|Blog Entry]], Strong Sad disclosed that his legs/feet are called "soolnds".
*When old-timey Strong Bad responds to the guy in the easter egg, he calls him a "carpet bagger." A carpet bagger is actually a post civil war term for a northerner moving to the south after the war to get rich or gain power.
*The blue "Flagrant Error" screen is a spoof of similarly vague system errors ("performed an illegal operation"), such as the Windows 9x [[Wikipedia:BSOD|BSOD]]. It reads:
<pre>FLAGRANT SYSTEM ERROR

The system is down. I dunno know what
you did, moron, but you sure
screwed everything up.</pre>
*The note Homestar leaves for Strong Bad is the same note depicted in [[The System Is Down]].
*When responding to Email #1, Strong Bad actually uses one of his favorite comebacks.

*In this e-mail the screen is titled 'Lordy Lordy! Look Who's Over There!' instead of the normal 'Compy 386'

*This is one of the few e-mails where one of the characters touches [[The Paper]].

*When Strong Bad says "I'll leave the key under the atmay." he is speaking pig latin. Atmay would mean mat.

==DVD Version==
*The "Comeback joke book" easter egg is disabled for some reason

'''Strong Bad Email #4'''

Instead of a regular message, Strong Bad receives a [[Hairstyle Runner]] design. Anger and hilarity ensue.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]]

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I check the email once, I check the email twice, doo doo doo, doo doo doo...'' {stops singing}'' Okay, let's see what we have got here...

<pre>Homestar Hair
downloading...</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar Hair...? What the... ''{A graphic from Hairstyle Runner appears on the screen.}'' Oh man! I swear if I get another one of these freakin' "Hairstyle Runners" from one of you guys, ''{types "delete that crap"}'' I'm gonna have to start busting some heads, okay?

''{Presses enter. The image shrinks until it disappears, and a message reading "crap deleted" grows on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I mean, how come you people never play ''my'' game, man? I never get any Strong Libs in my email. I mean, there is this whole game out there that's all for me that you guys can fill out you know, and like, send me some hilarious crap or something. Now you got me all cheesed off! I'm gonna play some "Temple of Apshai". Forget you guys. ''{begins playing Temple of Apshai, an 8-bit game featuring a guy exploring a dungeon.}''

''{[[The Paper]] falls, reading "Click here to e-mail Strong Bad".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, my hit points are, like, inexcusable in this dungeon, man. I need to find some Elixir or something.

== Fun Facts ==
*This is the first time Strong Bad deleted something in anger, although we don't see the now-standard "DELETED" screen.
*It is also the first Strong Bad Email to feature dialogue that takes place after the paper comes down.
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] holds "Temple of Apshai," a real game (with many sequels), and was available on quite a few old computers, such as the Atari and was best known on the C64. '''However''', the graphics on Strong Bad's screen are not from Temple of Apshai, but are actually a cut-and-paste job from an old Spectrum game called ''Chaos: Battle of the Wizards''.

== DVD Version ==
*The DVD version features a hidden creator commentary, accessable by switching over your DVD player's language selection while watching the email

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

'''MATT:''' THIS has a big inconsistency in it with the ability to, uh, this old computer-

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah, displaying the color picture.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Not only can it display JPEGs, it can display a full-color one. Yeah. And there's also a reference to, uh, to Strong Bad Libs in it, huh?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. We still occasionally get a Strong Bad Lib if someone's watched this email and then...

'''MATT:''' And then does one.

''{long pause}''

'''MATT:''' Say-

'''MIKE:''' Not a lot of animation going on in this one.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, this was, uh...

'''MIKE:''' This one would probably take us- we could probably do this in under 20 minutes nowadays.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs a little}'' Probabl-

'''MIKE:''' It probably took us 6 hours at the time, but...

'''MATT:''' Yep. And then now here it's color, color for Temple of Apshai, too.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah

'''MATT:''' Why? I mean, he could be playing, like, Final Fantasy according to-

'''MIKE:''' That's a skeleton. That's a skeleton. That blue, isn't that? Isn't that the skeletons from-

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I always thought it looked like that blue thing, you know, The Close Encounters of the Third Kind

[[Image:Da_Huuuuuudge.png|thumb|right|250px|Oh, wow! Look at the huuuuuudge!]]

'''Strong Bad Email #119'''

'''Cast (In order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[Marzipan (character)|Marzipan]], [[Legendary Strong Bad Animals]], [[Baby Styles]], [[Sterrance]], [[The Cheat]]

Strong Bad has a new computer! Introducing... [[Lappy 486]]! Meanwhile, Spud Jr. asks Strong Bad what he would like as if he was his own made up animal.

== Transcript ==

''{Both Strong Bad and the [[Compy 386]] are absent from their usual place at the desk. Silhouettes of the Compy monitor and the keyboard are evident against the slightly faded wall and table. A tumbleweed rolls past.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' It is a time of desolation, chaos and uncertainty. Brother pitted against brother; babies havin' babies. Then one day, from the right side of the screen, ''{Strong Bad walks on from the right, carrying the folded-up Lappy}'' came a man. ''{sits down at the desk and places the Lappy on it}'' A man with a plastic rectangle. I MEAN LAPTOP COMPUTER! ''{unfolds the Lappy; the words "Lappy 486" appear on the screen with an accompanying note, then the Lappy's logo appears above; the screen becomes a black screen with a square bracket in the top left}'' Now that is a classy start-up noise! ''{imitating the start-up noise}'' Dum… ding! And check out all these speculations!

''{Some music starts playing. Cut to the set of The Show, with a silhouetted Lappy on the pedestal. As Strong Bad speaks, the camera zooms in and the Lappy becomes visible.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Lappy 486 weighs in at an extremely portable forty-two pounds ''{the words "42 POUNDS!!! (LBS.) appear in the top right}'' and features an impressive battery life ''{the words ""Several" color monitor" and "2 MB Hard Drive!" appear at the top of the screen}'' of one half of ten minutes. ''{the words "WARNING: +/- FIVE MINUTE BATTERY LIFE" appear under the first slogan}'' The Lappy 486 ''{"512k RAM" appears next to the battery life warning}'' by Compy.

''{The slogan "Finally, a computer for your lap!" appears at the bottom of the screen next to a Compy logo. An applause accompanies the scene. Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's see if this bad boy can check some emails. ''{types in "strongbad_email.exe" as with the Compy}''

<pre>subject: made up animal
Dear Strong Bad,
What would you like as if you were your own made up
animal
Sincerely,
Spud Jr.
</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Come now, Spud Jr. What would Spud Sr. think of such nightmarish grammar and punctuation? And poor Spudmom. ''"What would you like as if…"'' I at least hope you're good at sports, for their sake. ''{stops typing}'' All right, I'm done. ''{clears the screen and resumes typing}'' Well Stu-Pud Jr., If I was my own made up animal I would probably like as the coolest made up animal ever made up. I would have all the cool animal options and accessories:

:Claws
:Horns
:Tusks
:Tentacles
:Power Doors
:15 Year Drivetrain Warranty
:Proboscis ''{pronounced "pro-boss-kiss" throughout}''
:Segmented Eyes

''{Cut to the field, where Strong Bad stands with three segmented eyes, two antlers, two tusks, a proboscis, four claws on each hand and four tentacles. Homestar Runner is also present.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I say there monstrosity, do you know the times?

''{Strong Bad attempts to respond, makes gargling sound while foaming at the mouth, and then says "no." Homestar steps back, looking surprised. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh. I guess I couldn't really talk with that proboscis. Not that I'd have much of an answer for "Do you know the times," anyway. Hmmm. Maybe I could be one of those deep-sea fangly fishes.

''{Cut to the sea, rendered in Powered by The Cheat style.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You know, the kind that have Christmas lights all over them, and those custom lures hanging over their heads.

''{An anglerfish with flashing lights adorning its body and Homestar's head for a lure appears.}''

'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' Right this way, everybody! Free puppies, ginger snaps ''{a fish version of The Cheat swims past}'' Pocket PCs…

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' 'Cept I'd also have an awesome back deck on me for dinner and dancing!

''{A deck appears on the fish's back. Zoom in to see a woman dancing on it with Strong Bad, with some typical Powered-by-the-Cheat techno-ish music playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey there, lady-style, do you want to watch me bench-press a lot... of weights?

'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' ''{lowers onto the deck}'' Turn it out, Strong Bad, turn it out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, wait. ''{The Strong Bad on the deck disappears.}'' How could I enjoy the dinner and dancing if I'm already the fanglyfish?

''{Zoom out to see the full view of the "fanglyfish". Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Maybe I'm overthinking this. I should just come up with a cool name and the rest will like as itself. I would be called ''{considers}'' da huuuuuudge. {''pronounces each letter of huuuuudge, as if to say'' "huh-duh-juh"}

''{Cut to the field, where there is an enclosure. A sign on the front of the enclosure reads:}''

<pre>Please, for the love of Pete,
DO NOT feed Da Huuuuuudge</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Da huuuuuudge! ''{Pronounced as "hudge."} {a large, pus-colored, gelatinous, blobby creature with Strong Bad's face lands in the enclosure}'' Eew! No. No huuuuuudge. {Pronounced as "hudge" again.}

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{enters from right, silhouetted, outside the enclosure}'' Oh, wow! Look at the huuuuuudge! {Pronounced as "hudge" again.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Um… how about… the red steckled elbermung? ''{An open book descends into the frame with a picture of a red gastropod with a pattern like Strong Bad's mask around its eyes and huge lips. The text in the book reads:}''

<pre> R is for
Red steckled elbermung</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' No no no. ''{the lips, the eyes and the tail become annotated with the word "No" each time Strong Bad says the word}'' Um… the pardack? ''{some yellow lined paper descends into the frame. On it is a picture of a large blobby creature with Strong Bad's eyes, horns, one of Strong Bad's arms and Strong Sad's leg for the other arm. Text under it reads: "el pardack"}'' What the? ''{the pardack gains a speech bubble with the text "what the?"}'' Why do these keep coming out as nasty blob things?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Okay, okay, okay. Gotta look good for the Lappy. My made up animal ''{slight pause}'' would be called

''{Cut to Strongbadia.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Sterrance. ''{a blue creature with stick arms and legs, wings and a pattern like Strong Bad's mask around its eyes appears. Some music starts playing}'' Hey, I did it! ''{Sterrance starts dancing}'' Look at Sterrance. Aw, Sterrance! I want one! Sterrance is way cuter than that stupid ugly old washed-up The Cheat I used to have.

''{Cut back to the computer room. The Cheat is standing by Strong Bad, looking angry.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, Captain Past-His-Prime himself.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I know you heard me. And I stand by it.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{angry Cheat noises; walks away}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{turns back to the Lappy, affectionately stroking it}'' Don't worry about him, Lappy. That's just The Cheat. He uses ''{dismissively} new'' computers. Psssh! The Paper, come on down and meet your new brother! ''{The Paper begins to edge down}'' Come on! ''{he edges down a bit more}'' It's okay! ''{he edges back a bit}'' No, ah! Come on! ''{he edges down a bit}'' Lappy's not going to bite you or tear at your perforated edges! ''{he comes down a bit more}'' That's it! ''{he comes all the way down}'' Lappy, this is The Paper. He lets me know when I've stopped being funny! ''{The Paper comes down even more so that it now reads:}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on the word 'cuter' to show a small movie of Homestar's head on a lure next to the dancing girl in a dance club. If you put your mouse pointer on the flashing disco lights, the area around it will change differently from the rest of the lights.

=== Easter Egg Transcript ===

:''{The Homestar lure and the dancing woman are at a disco, Powered by The Cheat style. Two disco balls hang from the ceiling and a rough approximation of music is playing.}''
:'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' Hey there, baby-style. This is a nice dancing club, right? Do you have a phone at your house?

*Click on the words 'The Cheat' to see what the runners-up get.
:''{Cut to the pedestal of The Show again. The fanglyfish is on it.}''
:'''VOICEOVER:''' Second-place contestants receive deep sea fanglyfish. Promotional considerations by Sterrance. Strong Bad's wardrobe furnished by Styles Upon Styles. ''{Some text appears on the screen reading:}''
<pre>MR. BAD'S WARDROBE
PROVIDED BY
Styles
Upon
Styles</pre>
'''HOMESTAR LURE:''' Steep prices and trees! ''{these words appear on the bottom of the screen as he says them}''

== Fun Facts ==
*This, obviously, is the end of the [[Compy 386]] era and the beginning of the [[Lappy 486]] era.
*The [[Floppy Disk Container|disks]] read "Future Wars", an old DOS point-and-click adventure game.
*The Lappy was mentioned in the commentary on the DVD for the email [[invisibility]] when the Tandy was replaced by the Compy.
*Strictly speaking, we shouldn't be able to see Strong Bad's reflection in Lappy's screen, because laptop screens aren't shiny like CRT screens are.
*Strong Bad urges viewers to check out the Lappy's "speculations" rather than "specifications." This may be a reference to [[Senor Cardgage]]'s bizarre usage of common words.
*One of Strong Bad's picks of animal accessories and options is listed as "Segmented Eyes," although he evidently meant "[[Wikipedia:Compound eye|Compound Eyes]]" in his trademark lingo.
*Since the proboscis is where the monstrosity's nose should be, it shouldn't prevent him from speaking at all, but it does anyway.
*The Cheat swimming around in the sea looks like the yellow submarine from the classic animated movie [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063823/ Yellow Submarine].
*The deep-sea fangly fish looks like an [[Wikipedia:Anglerfish|Anglerfish]].
*The Christmas lights he mentioned on the fish refer to [[Wikipedia:Bioluminescence|bioluminescence]], which is used by various deep sea creatures to attract prey, among other functions.
*Strong Bad's pronunciation of "lure" when envisioning the fangly fish comes from [[lures & jigs]].
*The table has been re-drawn by [[TBC]], with thinner lines and no shadow along the back edge. You can see the obvious difference between this and [[virus]].
*The eerie, breezy sound at the beginning originated in [[ghosts]]. It is re-used in [[The System Is Down]] and [[Not the 100th Email!!!]]
*The new email client bears a strong resemblance to a Unix/Linux email client, [http://www.sfsu.edu/~helpdesk/docs/using/upine.htm PINE]. However, Strong Bad uses the "strongbad_email.exe" filename, rather than "./strongbad_email", or, more appropriately, "./strongbad-email".
*It looks like all Strong Bad has to do for an email to be "DELETED!" is type "ALT-D" -- as it shows on the bottom of his screen.
*The wall behind the computer had been expertly mended, leaving no seams or cracks. It is impossible to tell where the shot entered the wall after destroying Compy in [[virus]].
*The new page title is a reference to [[the facts]] in which Homestar says "not no more."
*The Lappy's classic startup noise sounds somewhat like the startup tone on the older Macintoshes.
*Despite its supposed portability, the Lappy is plugged into the same socket that both Tandy and Compy used to occupy -- which is good, since well over 75% of its battery life would have been exhausted during the email. However, we never see Strong Bad plug in the Lappy. The outlet is empty when he arrives, then occupied as he closes the e-mail with The Cheat. Possibly the Lappy was plugged in while Strong Bad cut away to a different scene.
*Strong Bad adds a back deck for dinner and dancing; this is not, however, on the back of the Deep Sea Fangly Fish in the Easter Egg.
*Though [[Strong Bad]] admonishes Spud Jr. for the e-mail's grammar, he runs afoul of the was/were usage problem after he clears the screen. He should have typed, "if I were my own" and not "if I was".

Vannav: Not inside jokes

An '''inside joke''' is something that is only found on the site in two or three places, and is obscure in most or all instances. Something that has been featured more than three times usually becomes a regular feature of the site. For instance: Trogdor and fhqwhgads are no longer inside jokes, even though they started out that way.

These are the things that people who are new to Homestar Runner would simply not get at all. In fact, some of us who have seen most of the cartoons may not have fully picked up on them.

The inside jokes usually come from the [[Strong Bad Email]]s.

The VCR

Vannav: Changed cat

With the name of '''"XL ProTime VHS/VCR Player"''', this is the brand of Video Cassette Recorder that appears in various [[Toons|toons]], first believed to have been seen in [[12:00|Strong Bad Email #30]]. More of an inside joke is the way the mechanical problems are shown (Tracking Problems, vertical rainbow visible, and probably the most obvious: that ubiquitous '''blinking 12:00''')

Floppy Disk Container

2004-12-11T03:24:47Z

Vannav: Editted to make this the main Floppy Container page

The Floppy Disk Container sits to the right of [[Strong Bad]]'s computer. It shows the latest game he has been playing. This page catelogues appearances of the Floppy Disk Container, with screenshots, the toon or emails where it appeared, a brief explanation of the game mentioned on the floppy disk, and sources of supplementary material about the game. The majority of the labels are names of computer games and mostly from the '80s.

The 5.25 inch disks are what gave both kinds of disk the title 'floppy', as you could easily bend the disks, enough to nearly fold them over without them breaking. They were replaced by the 3.5 inch floppies in the early 1990's, which have been mostly replaced by the compact disc. The 3.5 disks still survive by being rewritable, and are therefore used for transferring very small files. They will likely be completely replaced by the compact disc within a few years, once repeatedly rewritable compact discs are perfected. || [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floppy_disk Wiki]] [[http://computer.howstuffworks.com/floppy-disk-drive1.htm Here]] [[http://www.accurite.com/FloppyPrimer.html Here]] [[http://www.douglasmedia.com/prod8.html Here]]

There are a number of gameplay options--play for a certain amount of time or first to a set score, winner's or loser's outs, etc. Players have a fatigue bar that decreases when running around and replenishes when holding still; fatigued players don't move as quickly.

It was a sports game released for Windows in 1996. It's a light-hearted, amusing soccer game, with cartoon drawings to depict players, and an animated soccer ball that bounces on the pitch to signify each team's advances in the match. It also has features including player drafting, training schedule, sponsor and finances, and formation selections. Fatuige even plays a big role in the matches' outcome. There is also a short time limit for you being manager of the team, preventing you from building your team very high, and winning many championships, a low point for a game such as this. || [[http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?gameid=1596 Udogs]]

Through turns you manage your armies (recruit new soldiers, train army, buy weapons etc.), keep your subjects happy, form alliances, or play dirty and hire ninjas to bribe & assassinate.

While most of the Petras have hidden underground, there are still a few left out in the open, and it's your job to cruise on a bike through numerous terrains, scooping Petras up to safety. The graphics are simplistic, the music poor and repetitive, the controls are touchy, the game is basically the same thing over and over, and doesn't really have much of an ending.

The plot is to save the girlfriend of one of your characters. The only hurdle is the residents of, and the building itself, the Maniac Mansion.

Power-ups, speed boosts, ramps, and simple team management (for substitutions) are all part of the experience.

You are member of the Time Warriors, an elite commando unit sent into an alien lair to defeat Baal, a crazy demon who is bent on conquering Earth. Featuring groutesque looking aliens, BAAL has a reputation as being a mildly disturbing action game. Overall, besides the creepy look of the game, there is little surprise or challenge to keep anyone playing to the end.

Vannav: Removed not-inside-jokes

An '''inside joke''' is something that is only found on the site in two or three places, and is obscure in most or all instances. Something that has been featured more than three times usually becomes a regular feature of the site. For instance: Trogdor and fhqwhgads are no longer inside jokes, even though they started out that way.

These are the things that people who are new to Homestar Runner would simply not get at all. In fact, some of us who have seen most of the cartoons may not have fully picked up on them.

The inside jokes usually come from the [[Strong Bad Email]]s.

*For a short while on August 12th, 2004, heading to the front page of Homestar Runner (that is, the "come on in"/"watch intro" page) would instead bring up Strong Sad's blog. It was fixed before long, however. It's not certain if it was an accident or intentional, but given that it blocked all access to the site for a short period of time (without sneaking through the "404'd" pages), it's likely an accident.

*When you click on Strong Sad's profile, when it brings up the info, look at the picture of 'Morpheus'. It will drip a small drop of blood from the pictures eye.

*Strong Sad says he can't jump, despite doing two lousy jumping jacks in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].
**This might be a reference to the fact that elephants are supposedly the only mammals who can't jump.

*Strong Sad actually made a typo in the "Post-it on my face" entry.
He writes "If I type real '''quite,''' maybe he won't come in here." Instead of '''quiet.'''

*Strong Sad's "Fond Memories" show that perhaps Strong Bad used to be nice to Strong Sad. However, this is immeadiately brought into question by the card.

*The photo from the "Secrets that I keep" page show Strong Sad with a Peanuts (Charlie Brown) shirt on.

*"Saddy Dumpington" playing a washboard may be a reference to [[20X6 vs. 1936]].

*"Strong Sad's Lament" is a reference to a famous section of a Catullus poem (in Latin) called "Ariadne's Lament"

*Strong Sad's profile quote says "Each day we die a little more.". You can hear him say that on the [[Spin 'n' Say]].

*"Arts b/w Crafts" in Strong Sad's profile is a reference to the titles of old vinyl singles and LP's, when "b/w" was an abbreviation put between the a-side name and b-side name which stood for "backed with".

*The title of the 8/26/04 entry, "History Lesson Part II," is also the title of a song by the Minutemen (from 1984's ''Double Nickels on the Dime'' LP).

Oh, even I know what to do with this one. ''{types}'' BALEETED! ''{hits enter, nothing happens}'' Huh? Oh. Umm... ''{types}'' DELTEATED! ''{enter, nothing happens}'' No? Uhh... Del Taco?

''{Cut to Strong Bad talking on the phone}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, they're more like elephant feet. Yeah. So what do you think, like, 50 bucks? Sounds good. I'll leave the key under the atmay.

''{Back to Compy 386. Homestar has typed in many, many words, but none of them do anything.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What is that stupid word? ''{He types in "da cheated" and hits enter. The computer plays a tune and the blue "Flagrant System Error" screen comes up}'' Uh oh. This does not look good for Homestar Runner.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad on the phone}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay. Bye!

''{He hangs up and walks off. Cut back to the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay. Back to the 50 emails. ''{He sits down. There's a piece of paper over the monitor with a Windows error window titled "This is real." It says "System report: Everything is fine. Nothing is ruined." Strong Bad reads the message}'' Everything is fine. Nothing is ruined. Oh, that's good to hear. Let's just, wait a minute... ''{he tears off the paper and sees the blue screen}'' Wha... Flagrant Error? What the... where did all my emails go?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? The paper? This isn't over yet! Go back up, go back up! ''{He swats at the paper and then tries to hold it up off the screen}'' Wait, wait! I think I can remember some of those emails! Uh, "Dear Strong Bad, why are you so awesome? Yours truly, Dumpface." Well, Dumpface, it's a long story. It all started with The Cheat one day when he was going down to the...

''{The screen, and Strong Bad's voice, slowly fade out. A paper plate with a Swiss Cake Roll with a "50" candle on it fades in. [[The Paper]] comes down again.}''

== Easter Eggs ==

*When Strong Bad types the word, "book" you can click on it and bring up a picture of Strong Bad's idea of this book idea.
* At the end, click on the "50th email [[Swiss Cake Roll]]" to see a funny "Olde Thyme" Strong Bad cartoon.
:''{A title screen reading "Strong Bad and The Electronic Message" appears. Cut to The Strong Bad reading a telegram}''
<pre>Dear Sir Strong Bad stop
How do you manage the telegramophone whilst
wearing gentleman's sport gloves? stop

Signed Lord Elsington Hallstingdingdingworth</pre>
:'''THE STRONG BAD:''' Curses! This is all anyone ever asks me! ''{manning the telegraph}'' You buffoon! Stop. You... carpetbagger. Stop. I'll give you what's for!
:''{The Sneak walks onscreen}''
:'''THE STRONG BAD:''' The Sneak! How was that? I told that poor sap I'd give him what's for! Yes... now go and steal me fresh jam!
:''{The Sneak scurries off}''

== Fun Facts ==

*Strong Bad starts by saying "ready, go!" This is a referance to email 20, when he said that to start his spring cleaning.
*When Strong Bad talks about the Great Leg and the Leg of Hope, he is referring to the SNES RPG Secret of Mana. You can upgrade the Great Bow into the Bow of Hope.
*When he responds to Email #3 ("What is your favorite leg?"), Strong Bad mentions tape-leg. This is a reference to [[tape-leg]], one of his past emails, and represents yet another [[Tape leg|inside joke]] of the Homestarverse.
*The front floppy in the floppy case is entitled "tongue of the fatman." [http://www.the-underdogs.org/game.php?name=Tongue+of+The+Fatman Tongue of the Fatman] is a classic... well, at least old... game for the PC.
*Homestar's attempts at DELETED:
**Baleeted
**Delteated
**Deltaco
**freaky D'td
**chadeated
**deedleated
**meathead?
**dltd
**duh lee ted
**teeteeted
**bubs
**diddley dee
**repeated
**733t3d
**3-D movie
**del monte
**ddddddd
**da cheated
**diggity
**beefeated
**stupid word
**believe it
**received it
**stratego
**3TDted
**seabed
**whitebread
**open sesame
**marie
**hello
**de la soul
**geleted
**feeted
*Some of the commands Homestar tries are references. Some are more obvious than others:
**'del monte' - A popular brand of fruit juice.
**'beefeated' - 'Beefeaters' is a nickname for the Yeomen Warders of the Tower of London. There is also a 'Beefeaters' London Dry Gin sold in most liquor stores.
**'meathead?' - This is probably referring to a catch phrase from the sitcom 'All in the Family' in which Archie Bunker called his son-in-law Mike 'Meathead'.
**'stratego' - Stratego is a board game.
**'open sesame' - Famous words from the tale 'Ali Baba and the Forty Theives'.
**'de la soul' - De La Soul is actually a rap group.
**'3-D Movie' could be a reference to the very fun, but overlooked PC game, Microsoft 3-D Movie Maker.
**'733t3d' - A reference to '1337 speak', a language used on the internet where letters are replaced by numbers or symbols.
**'diggity' is what Strong Bad says in [[unused emails]] when he races to his computer, deletes his email, and breaks his desk (as well as his clavicus majorus).
*As in [[anything]], when you adjust the contrast while Homestar is at the computer, his reflection isn't affected.
*Strong Bad is talking to a potential customer about 'elephant feet'. Apparently he plans to sell Strong Sad's legs on the black market, or something. (Or have him assassinated; See [[fingers]]. ) This makes sense in the context of the previous email asking him what his favorite leg is. Furthermore, in a [[Strong_Sad_Blog|Blog Entry]], Strong Sad disclosed that his legs/feet are called "soolnds".
*When old-timey Strong Bad responds to the guy in the easter egg, he calls him a "carpet bagger." A carpet bagger is actually a post civil war term for a northerner moving to the south after the war to get rich or gain power.
*The blue "Flagrant Error" screen is a spoof of similarly vague system errors ("performed an illegal operation"), such as the Windows 9x [[Wikipedia:BSOD|BSOD]]. It reads:
<pre>FLAGRANT SYSTEM ERROR

The system is down. I dunno know what
you did, moron, but you sure
screwed everything up.</pre>
*The note Homestar leaves for Strong Bad is the same note depicted in [[The System Is Down]].
*When responding to Email #1, Strong Bad actually uses one of his favorite comebacks.

*In this e-mail the screen is titled 'Lordy Lordy! Look Who's Over There!' instead of the normal 'Compy 386'

*This is one of the few e-mails where one of the characters touches [[The Paper]].

*When Strong Bad says "I'll leave the key under the atmay." he is speaking pig latin. Atmay would mean mat.

==DVD Version==
*The "Comeback joke book" easter egg is disabled for some reason

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Singing}'' It's email time again! Doot doodle-ooh-doo, Doot doodle-ooh-doo, Doot doodle-ooh-doo.

''{reading}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,
Does Strongbadia have its' own local
news even? If so, I hope it's better
than my local news.

Sincerely,
Dan D. Tallahassee, FL</pre>

''{Strong Bad says "Tallaha-... Tasalan-.. Gainesville, Florida" instead of "Tallahassee, FL"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Okay, Dan, I'm only going to sing this one more time: ''{singing}'' Ohhhhhhh ''{types while singing}''If you want it to be possessive, it's just "ITS." But, if it's supposed to be a contraction then it's "I-T-apostrophe-S," scalawag. ''{stops typing}'' Ahem. Um, ''{Clears screen, resumes typing}'' Of course we've got local news. It's the- It's the greatest! Um... But I- I have to go now... and... do something... completely unrelated to me... throwing together... the aforementioned local news. Hoight!

''{Strong Bad holds a sign reading "Strongbadia Action Cool News 5" in front of the camera. We can hear The Cheat making noises in the background}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Strong Badia Action Cool News 5!

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing in Strong Badia.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Top Stories with anchorperson Strong Bad!

''{Strong Bad gives a thumbs-up to the camera, as The Cheat holds up an index card reading "Strong Bad with Top Stories." Cut to Strong Mad standing in front of a blackboard holding a football, a tennis racquet, and twirling a cinder block on his right index finger as if it were a basketball}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad with the sports!

''{The Cheat holds up an index card reading "Sportscarster Strong Mad". Cut to the Tire with an index card propped up next to it reading "Meteorologist TIRE"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Local weather with Tire!

'''STRONG BAD:''' And The Cheat with SkyCheat Traffic!

''{The Cheat grins at the camera and holds up an index card reading "THE FRIGGIN CHEAT" as the SkyCheat logo appears in the lower right-hand corner. Cut to Strong Bad sitting behind a desk situated in front of the fence}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good evening and tonight. I'm Strong Bad with today's top stories.

''{Cut to a side view of the desk (which now looks more like a cardboard box). The Cheat holds up a sign saying "World Crisis"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The World in Crisis! More on that later.

''{The Cheat withdraws the World Crisis sign, and we switch to a frontal angle of the desk again}'' Now let's check in with The Cheat with SkyCheat Traffic.

''{Cut to Strong Mad and The Cheat standing in the field. Strong Mad throws The Cheat high into the air. Strong Bad makes helicopter sounds.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{keeps getting thrown up and down, and his speech is subtitled}'' Thanks Strong Bad...This is The Cheat... with SkyCheat Traffic...There appears to be...some congestion...around Bubs' Concession Stand.

''{cuts to the concession stand. Homestar, Marzipan and the King of Town are standing in line. There is a sign that says "Wait in Line: $5"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Best five bucks I ever spent.

''{Cuts back to Strong Bad behind the news desk}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thank you, The Cheat. I guess those roads should not be rode upon, eh?

''{Cut back to The Cheat, who is still being thrown into the air}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{subtitled}'' Not funny...I didn't even mention...any roads.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad behind the news desk}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, well, thank you, goodnight. Now on to our top story: The World in Crisis.

''{Bubs holds up the "World Crisis sign." Cut to side angle of the desk again. You can see Bubs, but he quickly runs away, dropping the sign}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But first, Strong Mad with the sports.

''{Cut to the Classroom. The words "SCORE A POINT" are written on the board. Strong Mad is bouncing a football on the floor with a tennis raquet}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I SHOULD WIN! I SHOULD WIN IT!

''{Strong Mad swats the football at the camera. You can hear Strong Sad saying "ow." Cut back to Strong Bad behind the news desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, it looks like our sportscaster isn't being a very good sport, eh?

''{Cut to The Cheat still being thrown in the air}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{subtitled}'' Pathetic.

''{Cut back to the news desk}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Will the winter weather chill your cheeks?

''{The Poopsmith holds up a sign reading "Winter Weather"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's the word, Tire?

''{Cuts to the tire on a desk with a weather map propped up agains the fence. The map slowly slides down and falls off the desk, causing the tire to roll away and fall off the desk itself. Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You heard it folks. Bundle up, but keep your swimsuit on outside your pants.

''{Cut to side angle of desk}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Tonight folks, and have a great job. Remember to turn in tomorrow for our special investigative report expose: The World in Crisis.

''{The Cheat's sound effects start up again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Badia Action Cool News 5: "We're investiga-awesome".

''{The Cheat holds up a sign saying this. The Paper comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the very end you can click on the little Trogdor-style beefy arm to bring up Strong Bad's educational CD, "Strong Bad's Rhythm 'n' Grammar." Be sure to click on it to hear him sing the "ITS" song and several others!

=== Lyrics to the songs (excluding the ITS one): ===

::1:
::Whatever happened to capitalization
::It used to be so cooool

::2:
::Girl, don't forget to spellcheck
::Or I'll come to your house and throw a brick through your dad's windshield
::Windshield!

::3:
::Y-O-U-R
::Y-O-U-Apostrophe-R-E
::They're as different as night and day
::Don't you think that night and day are different?
::What's wrong with you?

::4:
::And I don't care how they spell things on the Internet
::When you E-mail me, you spell the whole word out
::And I don't care that your cell phone has a camera in it
::''(he trails off making bass guitar noises)''

== Fun Facts ==
*The arm on the S in the sign is a reference to [[Trogdor]].
*At the beginning when Strong Bad sings "it's email time again," it's a reference to the KISS song "Cold Gin" ("It's cold gin time again...").
*In the beginning the email is from Tallahassee, FL. Strong Bad says it's from Gainesville. Any college sports fans know that the Florida State Seminoles are from Tallahassee, and the University of Florida Gators are from Gainesville, and they are major rivals.

Side note - Ska/Punk band Less Than Jake did a song called 'Gainesville Rock City' in 'tribute' to the band KISS

*The sportscaster card says "sportscarster," and spelling mistakes are atypical for Strong Bad. Perhaps [[Coach Z]] made it.
*The cards that say the titles and names of Strong Bad, Strong Mad, The Cheat, and the Tire are from the sb email [[band names]].
*The "ITS" song has a tune similar to The [[Ballad of The Sneak]]; both are very similar to "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall."
*This is the second e-mail from someone named Dan who lives in Florida (the first being [[anything]]).
*When The Cheat's says that he didn't mention any roads. It may be true that there are no roads in [[Free Country USA]].
*"The World in Crisis" may be making fun of the fact that most news stations always tell you about an interesting news story and keep you waiting to see it for a long time.

== DVD Version ==
*All 5 Grammar songs have been incorporated into one long Easter Egg.
*The DVD version features hidden commentary by Mike and Strong Bad. To acccess it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
