'''STRONG BAD:''' So cool an email. I thought you would enjoy it. Ding dong,
''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
what would you look like as a 
japanese cartoon and what would 
it be about? 
 
-james f.</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "f." as "fffffffffff"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' A Japanese cartoon, eh, James? I saw one o' thems once. Let's see what I can remember.

''{Cut to a white screen with Strong Bad standing there. As he describes how he would look, the changes are applied}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, so first of all, my head would have to be a little bean. With real, real big eyes. Get rid of my thumbs, make me all shiny ''{clean noise that sounds like a harp, or bells, or both}'' ...my boots would be a whole lot cooler. Like robot boots. ''{robotic 'shooo' noise}'' And for some reason, I got blue hair. You gotta have blue hair. Then there's my mouth. Real tiny when it's closed; ridiculously huge when it's open. And then you basically just put me in space and let me fly around in cool poses!

''{Stinkoman, the anime version of Strong Bad, flies around in assorted cool poses. He then lands down in a futuristic anime rendition of the field. Video game music plays in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And they'd probably have somebody else do the voices.

''{1-Up, the 20X6 counterpart of Homestar Runner, walks in}''

'''1-UP:''' Hey Stinkoman! Everybody says you're the guy, but I wanna be the guy too!

'''STINKOMAN:''' No way, you're just a kid! Maybe when you're older.

''{Pan Pan, the anime version of Pom Pom designed to look like a panda, bounces in and squashes 1-Up}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{laughing and stomping from one foot to the other, with miniature mushroom clouds appearing around his head}'' Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Pan Pan is fat! Ha ha ha ha ha! He fell on you! Ha ha ha ha! He's a good bear!

''{Suddenly, the cartoon transitions into an ink-drawing of the scene. The Stinkoman K theme song starts playing. The lyrics are:}''

<blockquote>Challenge and fighting and 
Fighting the challenge tonight. 
 
Everybody's fighting for the 
Challenge of the fighting and the 
 
Challenge and fighting and 
Fighting the challenge tonight.</blockquote>

''{While the song is playing, the background then changes to a similar sketch of Stinkoman powering up, upon which the credits appear:}

''{Cut to the Compy with Strong Bad typing}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in Stinkoman's voice, typing}'' Japanese cartoons are w— ''{clears his throat, his voice returns to normal}'' Oh, ahem, excuse me. ''{typing}'' Japanese cartoons are weird, man. Though I may be on to something with that blue hair. ''{stops typing}'' Look pretty nice, it look-a pretty nice!

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end, click on the words "Japanese cartoons" to see Stinkoman running. He jumps off the screen, then his head pops up in the logo over the words "Stinko Man K 20X6".
*:'''STINKOMAN:''' 20X6!
*At the end of "Stinko Man K 20X6", click on "Japanese cartoons" again to see Homestar Runner watching it and singing along to the theme song.
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Challenge and fighting and fighting that challenge tonight, somethin' and a somethin' and a somethin' and a somethin' and a...
*During the second Easter egg, click on the "NES Endings" video tape to see various endings to [[Nintendo|NES]] games. Once the NES Endings window opens, you can click on it to show more.
** The endings for the Nintendo games are as follows:
*#''[[Wikipedia:Rad Racer|Rad Racer]]'' (also the source of the background music in this email)
*#''[[Wikipedia:Castlevania II: Simon's Quest|Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest]]'' (Normal Ending)
*#''[[Wikipedia:Mega Man 2|Mega Man 2]]''
*#''[[Mario|Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' (''Super Mario USA'' in Japan)
*#''[[Wikipedia:Hoops (video game)|Hoops]]''
*#''[[Wikipedia:Ghosts 'n Goblins|Ghosts N' Goblins]]'' (Good, Second Ending)
*#''[[Wikipedia:Blaster Master|Blaster Master]]'' (This has "BLUE HAiR" and an arrow pointing to the character's hair written on it)
*#''[[Legend of Zelda|The Legend of Zelda]]'' (First Quest)
*#''[[Wikipedia:Metroid|Metroid]]'' (with a [[Wikipedia:Metroid#JUSTIN BAILEY|suitless]] [[Wikipedia:Samus Aran|Samus Aran]])
*#''[[Wikipedia:Jackal (video game)|Jackal]]''
*#''[[Wikipedia:Rygar (Nintendo Entertainment System)|Rygar]]''

== Fun Facts ==

===Trivia===
*The summary on the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed for this video says "Strong Bad makes up his own japanese cartoon."
*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Strong Bad makes a Japanese cartoon."

===Remarks===
*At the beginning of the email, Strong Bad recites a [[Wikipedia:haiku|haiku]], which is very fitting (although in [[Halloween Fairstival]], he claims that he doesn't "know or care what a haiku is", and later on would admit on [[Twitter]] that [https://twitter.com/StrongBadActual/status/1089517246475579393 this was unintentional]):
<blockquote>
So cool an email 
I thought you would enjoy it 
Ding dong dear Strong Bad 
</blockquote>
*When Strong Bad is reading the email, the a> is at the bottom of the screen.
*When the email cuts back to the Compy, Strong Bad speaks in Stinkoman's voice, despite stating that "someone else" would do it.
*[[The Paper]] does not come down at the end of the email.
*When Homestar is seen from the back in the Easter egg, he is drawn in an [[Homestar Runner Evolution|older style]].
*In the TeeBee Easter egg, Stinkoman eventually stops running on the TV, freezing in place, meaning the animation is not actually looped like most of the other animations on the site.
*Though this isn't noted by Strong Bad, the shape of his body is altered at the same time that his thumbs vanish.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Messed up windows.PNG|thumb|Are those overlapping windows asking for a challenge?]]
*In the scene with Stinkoman and 1-Up, the windows on the second far right building overlap onto the building next to it. This is best seen when zoomed in on the swf file.

===Inside References===
*The name Stinkoman is a reference to [[island]], when Homestar calls Strong Bad "Stinkoman." Coincidentally, the alias of the email sender was [[Wikipedia:Yugi Mutou|Yami Yugi]], the name of a main character of a popular anime series and card game [[Wikipedia:Yu-Gi-Oh!|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'']]
*The first line of Strong Bad's haiku is similar to Strong Bad Email #34, [[weird dream]], in which The Cheat's computer, [[Tangerine Dreams]], has an icon labeled "So Cool A Flash," and the image Strong Bad brings up entitled "So Weird a Dream." ''(see also [[#Real-World References|Real-World References]])''
*The two videos next to the NES Endings are "[[Joy of Painting]]" from the [[TV Time Toons Menu]].
*Stinkoman's first cool pose shows him holding a [[Big Knife]].

===Real-World References===

*Stinkoman's overall design and the "cool poses" sequence appear to be based on the [[Wikipedia:Ganbare Goemon|Ganbare Goemon]] video games, also known as ''Legend of the Mystical Ninja''.
*In the third slide of the credits for Stinkoman K, the art is a parody of [[Wikipedia:Vegeta|Vegeta]] from the series ''[[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball#Dragon Ball Z|Dragon Ball Z]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball#Dragon Ball GT|Dragon Ball GT]]'' in his Super Saiyan state.
*The credits for Stinkoman K are lifted from ''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0176925/fullcredits The Legend of Zelda]'' for the NES.
**"H. Yamauchi", "S. Miyahon", "Ten Ten", and "Konchan" refer to [[Wikipedia:Hiroshi Yamauchi|Hiroshi Yamauchi]], [[Wikipedia:Shigeru Miyamoto|Shigeru Miyamoto]], [[imdb:nm0854843|Takashi Tezuka]], and [[Wikipedia:Koji Kondo|Koji Kondo]], respectively.
*20X6 is a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Mega Man|Mega Man]]'', which is set in 20XX, or the first ''[[Wikipedia:Metroid|Metroid]]'' game, which is set in 20X5.
*Stinkoman's "robot boots" are similar to the ones that [[Wikipedia:Roll (Mega Man)|Roll]], a female character from the Mega Man games, wears.
*The spaceship strongly resembles one of the [http://starbase.globalpc.net/%7Ebhz/strongbad/images/galaxy5000.gif spaceships] from the [[Nintendo#Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)|NES]] game ''Galaxy 5000''.
*The background music and sung credits song is taken from [http://vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/nes/RR_Music1.mid this MIDI] of the Level 1 theme of the NES game ''[[Wikipedia:Rad Racer|Rad Racer]]'', which was composed by [[Wikipedia:Nobuo Uematsu|Nobuo Uematsu]].
*The first two lines of Strong Bad's haiku are very similar to an infamous subject line used by the [[Wikipedia:Klez|Klez]] email virus, which read "so cool a flash, enjoy it". ''(see also Inside References)''
*[[Wikipedia:Oolong|Oolong]] is a Chinese tea, [[wikipedia:List of Dragon Ball characters#Oolong|as well as a character from ''Dragon Ball'']] and a song from [[Wikipedia:Three Little Words (film)|Three Little Words]].
*The "K" in "Stinko Man K 20X6" is a homage to anime mega-series such as [[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball|Dragon Ball]], [[Wikipedia:Gundam|Gundam]], and [[Wikipedia:Sailor Moon|Sailor Moon]], which use letters to separate different series or seasons (e.g., ''Dragon Ball Z'', ''Z Gundam'', ''Sailor Moon R'', etc.)
*The line, "No way, you're just a kid! Maybe when you're older" is a reference to the anime movie ''[[Akira]]'', where [[Wikipedia:Shotaro Kaneda (Akira)|Kaneda]] refuses to let [[Wikipedia:Tetsuo Shima|Tetsuo]] ride his motorbike because he's "just a kid". Also, Stinkoman's voice is similar to [[IMDb:nm0164682|Cam Clarke's]] dub of Kaneda.

===Fast Forward===
*As The Brothers Chaps mention in the commentary below, "[[Glossary#C|combolations]]" would also be given by [[Senor Cardgage]] in [[flashback]].

== DVD Version ==
*The 20X6 and Homestar watching Easter eggs are now opened by different icons. The Strong Bad's head icon on the right side of the Compy 386 screen opens the former, and the one in the lower left corner of the Compy 386 opens the latter.
**Be warned that if you open the Homestar Easter egg, you have to restart the toon in order to see the other one.
*The NES Endings are still accessible, though you have to wait for the Homestar video clip to be finished before you can access them.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MATT:''' This is CD number one.

'''MIKE:''' Number two.

'''MATT:''' Number three.

'''MIKE:''' And number four.

'''MATT:''' That's from that Flaming Lips four-disc thing.

'''MIKE:''' All right.

'''MATT:''' So this is when we started this email at, like, 10 PM on Sunday night, didn't we?

'''MIKE:''' I think so.

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' And we didn't finish until early... or ''late'' Monday?

'''MIKE:''' Ummm...

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Or early Tuesday.

'''MIKE:''' No, I think it was up on Monday.

'''MATT:''' Okay.

'''MIKE:''' But it was definitely later in the day.

'''MATT:''' I remember Matt and Jenna, our friends Matt and Jenna came over and we had just drawn some of these preliminary drawings of Strong Bad as Stinkoman and we showed it to them.

'''MIKE:''' I don't remember that.

'''MATT:''' They did! They came over—

'''MIKE:''' I believe you! I'm just saying I don't remember it.

'''MATT:''' Well I don't—

'''MIKE:''' I don't have anything to add to that, uh, line of—

'''MATT:''' I don't know why we did, we probably had a good time for a little while—

'''MIKE:''' Maybe.

'''MATT:''' —and then they left.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' This is another email, nobody likes this email, everybody hates this email.

''{Mike laughs a little.}''

'''MATT:''' You know. There's that ship! Originally we were going to say that ship was The Cheat.

'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah, that's right! ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' That was going to be, the 20X6 version of The Cheat was that ship.

'''MIKE:''' We should still do that.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, maybe—maybe so.

'''MIKE:''' Um... I like Homestar's boots there.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I mean, I think we didn't—until we recorded this line, we weren't going to, like, call him Stinkoman, were we? And it was, we were just making that reference, to the old, to the island email.

'''MIKE:''' ''{at the same time, overlapping}'' You've got to remember... right.

'''MATT:''' I love those mushroom things. I love those—the mushroom things—

'''MIKE:''' There's the tear over your head.

'''MATT:''' The tear, the snot...

'''MIKE:''' And the snot bubble.

'''MATT:''' There's some other stuff.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' So many weird things that happen in—

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Those mushroom things happen in, uh, Animal Crossing, when they get mad at you.

'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah, that's right! Yeah, Matt!

'''MATT:''' Of course, these are all the credits from, uh, the original Legend of Zelda.

'''MIKE:''' Konchan, the sound composer. Does good work.

''{Matt starts singing the Legend of Zelda theme song, then Mike continues it.}''

'''MATT:''' Sorry. Um... so yeah. So the one-two punch of Trogdor and Stinkoman are probably—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, back to back weeks.

'''MATT:''' —are probably ''the'' most popular emails. Combolations. ''{laughs a little}''

'''MIKE:''' Later, uh, Senor Cardgage gives combolations to Strong Bad in the 100th email.

=== Fun Facts ===
*The album in particular Matt and Mike reference at the beginning is [[Wikipedia:Zaireeka|Zaireeka]] by [[Wikipedia:The Flaming Lips|The Flaming Lips]]. Zaireeka was a highly experimental album designed to be heard on 4 separate discs played simultaneously. The part of the album they reference happens at the beginning of each track and serves as a way to let the listener know if the discs are synced properly.
*The talk about the Cheatball being a spaceship is likely a reference to the anime [[Wikipedia:Tenchi Muyo!|''Tenchi Muyo'']], where the [[Wikipedia:Cabbit|cabbit]] [[Wikipedia:Ryo-Ohki|Ryo-Ohki]] could transform into a spaceship several hundred times her size.
*In the video game ''[[Wikipedia: Animal Crossing|Animal Crossing]]'', when the villagers get mad, steam clouds come out of their heads, not mushroom clouds like Matt said. When the villagers are laughing, words that mean laughing (such as ha ha) flash around their heads in a way similar to the way that mushroom clouds appear around Stinkoman's head.

[[Image:StrongBadiatheFreeLogo.png|125px|left]]

'''Strong Badia the Free''' is the second episode of ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People]]''. It has been rated E10+ for Crude Humor, Mild Cartoon Violence, and Use of [[Alcohol]] by the ESRB. Written by Chuck Jordan and [[The Brothers Chaps]].

[[The King of Town]] becomes tyrannical and institutes an email tax. For not paying said tax, [[Strong Bad]] is placed under house arrest with an exploding collar strapped around his neck. After Strong Bad escapes, he announces that [[Strong Badia]] will secede from [[Free Country USA]], and attempts to rally his fellow citizens into joining him. When everyone instead goes off to form their own countries, Strong Bad must unite the fractured nations under one banner (namely, his) in order to complete his mission to overthrow The King of Town's "fat-thority".

A brief trailer for the game is included in [[Homestar Ruiner]].

''{The screen shows "In the next episode of Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People" and fades to Strong Bad walking in from the right. The backdrop is the Strong Badian Flag.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Friends and losers, my long incarceration has taught me that we can never be truly free until we reject the fat-thority of the King of Town. Hence to forthwith, I shall only refer to him as the Of Town. As of today, Strong Badia is its own, independent nation. Onward to Strong Badia, Strong Badia the Free!

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*"Roi" is [[French]] for "King", thus explaining the pseudonym "Roy T."
*Strong Bad uses [[Wikipedia:Morse Code|Morse Code]] to communicate with the lighter.

===Trivia===
*On the PC version, costume items unlocked in Homestar Ruiner carry over to Strong Badia the Free (these must be unlocked, either by getting them in Homestar Ruiner, or by editing the [[Wikipedia:Windows Registry|Windows Registry]]). On the Wii version, the costumes are automatically unlocked, regardless of if you have the costumes on a Homestar Ruiner save file (or even if you don't have a Homestar Ruiner save file at all).
*When visiting the King of Town at his castle in the extended play mode of [[Homestar Ruiner]], he threatens to tax Strong Bad. Strong Bad responds with, "That sounds...ominous."
*The preview was added to the [http://www.nintendo.com/wii/channels/nintendochannel Nintendo Channel] on September 15, 2008 under the title "Strong Bad Episode 2: {{PAGENAME}}"
*This is the only episode where all twelve main characters appear onscreen; Homsar's only other appearance was [[Baddest of the Bands]], which lacked The Poopsmith. [[8-Bit is Enough]] also lacks Pom Pom.

===Remarks===
*Upon getting drafted into the Homestarmy, Coach Z claims to have never won anything before in his life, despite having the record time for completing the FCUTRER in [[Homestar Ruiner]].
*It is unclear whether The Cheat has his own lighter or Telltale Games removed the [[BMW Lighter|BMW Logo from Strong Bad's lighter]] for trademark purposes.
*One of the emails Strong Bad receives is from Athens, [[Georgia]], but Strong Bad pronounces GA as an unemphasized "Guh". [[The Brothers Chaps]] live in Georgia, and Mike went to the University of Georgia, which is in Athens. Their sports mascot is a live bulldog named UGA, pronounced "UH-guh".
*Pom Pom is notably absent in the Maps & Minions game at the Of Town's Castle.
*If you use the Glowsticks on Strong Bad in Pompomerania with The Cheat present, Strong Bad will say it's no time for a rave even though one is in progress.
*When you talk to Strong Sad and talk about his constitution in [[Bleak House]], he will show his flag. However, if you already burned the flag, he will act like if you never burned it and the camera will face where it was formerly placed.
*The Cheat uses a yield sign to write the name of his country in Strong Badia. On the map, the area cut out of Strong Badia is in the shape of the stop sign.
*In [[The Interview]], Homestar states with absolute certainty that The Cheat would win in a fight against Strong Sad even if it was stacked in Strong Sad's favor. However, in the Maps & Minions Game, Strong Sad wins in conflicts against The Cheat.
*Strong Bad's email address is shown to be ''strongbad@strongbadshouse.res'' instead of his real email address, ''strongbad@homestarrunner.com''.

===Goofs===
*On the Wii Shop Channel download page in Europe, Videlectrix is misspelled as "Videoelectrix".
*If you skip speaking with Strong Sad about Cold Ones until after he has had his pretendix removed, he will complain about his alleged pretendicitis despite having already had the surgery for it.
*If you activate the mysterious pylon in the Homsar Reservation before making the super-glowy drink in Pompomerania, Strong Bad calls out to remind the astronauts to give him ice cream he has never asked for.
*When Strong Sad is commenting on one of the papier-mâché skulls, he claims it's "this week's jumble", but the subtitles read "last week's jumble".
*In Cave Girl Squad, when [[What's Her Face]] says "some kinda weird CG-filled special", the speech bubble leaves out the word "weird".

===Glitches===
*Sometimes Bubs will be stuck facing the black market door instead of the concession stand. As a result, the black market door will not open, and Bubs will be facing the wall when you try to talk to him from the front of the stand.
*When lighting certain objects on fire, sometimes the flames do not appear until Strong Bad leaves and returns to the area. This glitch is known to occur with the bush on the Homsar Reservation, the kimono in Club Technochocolate, the smoke detector and messy pile in Bleak House, and the skulls in Country.
*Sometimes, when in Extended Play, attempting to save to Slot 3 will result in the game freezing, buzzing and require a hard reset.
*While in Bleak House, examine the bookcase in Strong Sad's room while outside the room. Then walk by his bed. While Strong Bad talks about the bookcase, he may slide towards the bed without moving his feet.
*Digging up the Strong Badia shirt will cause another hole to appear in Strong Badia, in front of the flagpole, near the cinder block.
*An error in Math Kickers will give you the rank of "Über-Pope" or "Uber-Pope" if you exceed a score of 4000 points, with everything else already maxed out. In the Wii version, the rank is "Über-Pope" (however, the Ü appears as a box) and is "Uber-Pope" in the PC version.
**The reason the Ü appears as a box is because it is an irregular character. In systems that can only support regular characters, they will appear as a different symbol (usually a box) other than the irregular character.
*If you save in an area and play the game again from where you left off, then it will sometimes cause characters to return to that area, usually all the ones from a certain time in the game. For example, if you do this in Marzistar (a.k.a. Homezipan), it will make Pom Pom, Strong Sad and occasionally Strong Mad holding The Cheat reappear in their pre-castle attack positions.
*After making it to Marzistar, if you return to the Homsar Reservation, Strong Sad and Homsar will no longer be there. However, when you click on the trunk, Strong Bad will still talk to Strong Sad's voice as if Strong Sad was there. Also, the bush will no longer be on fire if it was previously lit, and when lit again Homsar will say "AaAaAa...Nice try alligator!", even though he is no longer there.
**Additionally, the bush will not be lit in extended play.

====PC Version====
*Occasionally some characters' eyes are not visible upon entering an area.
*Talking to Strong Sad at the end in Extended Play will sometimes make your mouse appear in the cutscene, allowing you to click on any object while Strong Sad and Strong Bad are still talking.
*Sometimes, after focus has been removed from and returned to the game window, dialogue will start a split-second before where it was when focus was removed.
*Sometimes, after Strong Sad gets his pretendix removed, a gray slice will be on the top of the screen. This will stay there until you leave the Homsar Reservation.
**This can happen only if the the screen is windowed and your mouse is outside the window.

====Wii Version====
*Skipping the speech before starting the Peace Draft seems to make the transition in to a straight cut to black with a small slice of cut out showing the screen. This stays a few seconds into the scene before stopping. It also happens at the end of the scene, and it appears when looking at the map.
*Playing Math Kickers will sometimes freeze the game, causing the game to emit a strange buzzing noise and require a hard reset.
*Pausing the game with the "home" button during transcript causes the last word in a phrase to be repeated.

====Playstation 3 Version====
*The King of Town's castle does not appear in the background of Marzistar/Homezipan.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad calls himself "Strong Bad of the [[Underwear|mighty tighty-whities]]".
*The song that plays in Pompomerania is from [[geddup noise]].
*When doing the draft, Homestar uses his microphone from [[The Show]].

*"Fat-thority" is a [[portmanteau]] of "fat" and "authority".

Flash is Dead!

2015-09-21T04:28:46Z

VmKid: /* Explanations */

{{toonnav|Shorts|flashisdead|The Animated Adventures of Puppet Homestar|Strong Bad Sings}}
[[Image:FlashisDead.png|thumb|right|"See? That's a chunk of Flash authoring interface right there!"]]
[[Flash]] is dying, and the citizens of [[Free Country, USA]] have to head for the hills (or bushes) until they can learn [[Wikipedia:HTML5|HTML5.]]

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{film|Homestar Runner}}, {{film|Strong Bad}}, F. Sack, {{film|Bubs}} (voice only), {{film|Coach Z}} (voice only)

'''Places:''' [[The Field]], [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] (Easter egg)

'''Date:''' Monday, August 3, 2015

'''Running Time:''' 2:00

'''Page Title:''' Oh man! We're so doomed!!

==Transcript==
''{The Flash Plugin Error appears reading "This plugin is vulnerable and should be updated" and the text below it reading "Activate Flash". Homestar Runner soon after pops up from below}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wo-ho! Check it out! I'm vulnerable and should be updated. ''{The scene pans out to show the error screen is a sign being held up by two planks, as Homestar Runner is in the field with it}'' Hey, that sounds like my dating profile!

''{Strong Bad runs to Homestar Runner, hyperventilating, with a filthy sack behind his back.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dropping his sack}'' Homestar! What are you doing, man? This is horse giblets!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{bending forward towards the sack}'' Oh, hello, horse giblets! ''{Strong Bad turns around at the sack}'' I thought you were just a filthy sack!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Strong Bad turns around to Homestar as Homestar stands back upright}'' No, I'm not referring to the filthy sack, whose name incidentally is F. Sack. I'm talking about the situation, man!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What situation? I'm trying to update my dating profile.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Haven't you heard? Flash is dying!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, well, good! I'm a way better runner than that guy anyways.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, I'm talking about Flash. Like, what we breathe. The thing what creates us all.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad! If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were getting a little ''{Homestar's cap hovers a bit}'' religioso on me.

''{''hsbody'' layer and ''draw'' icons fall from the sky and embed themselves slightly into the ground}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh! See? That's a chunk of Flash Authoring Interface right there! It's falling apart! We gotta head for the hills!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Are those hills? I always thought they was bushes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Figurative.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But actually, I never walked a couple of feet to find out for sure.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I meant it figuratively.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, let's do it right now!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm being figurative.

''{Homestar runs towards the bushes in the background, eventually running into them and falling back.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Blah! Bush. Definitely bush.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now listen. I've got enough classic motion tweens and deprecated actions in ol' F-sack here to last us at least six months until we can learn HTML5.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh, I know what that stands for! Hyper-Text Markup Lotion! ''{Homestar holds up a lotion with the HTML logo, minus the L, which is used at the bottom with the word "LOSCHE!".}'' Let me poop a little bit out for you. ''{Homestar squeezes the bottle three times}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nope, nope, nope, the land of ten-thousand nopes. Homestar, the death of Flash is equivalent to a giant meteor heading straight for the Earth!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oohhh, I got you. Sounds like somebody's asking for another heaping helping of... ''{Homestar holds up a DVD cover of ''Deep Impact''}'' ''Deep Impact''!

''{Strong Bad groans}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{putting the DVD in front of his face and then impersonating a commander}'' Strong Bad, this is Morgan Shawshank, I need you to hit that meteor with every Duvall you've got.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Never mind. I'll be in Bubs' fallout shelter if anybody needs me. ''{Picking up his sack and walking away}'' Good luck with yourself, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I don't want to miss a thing!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in the distance}'' Wrong movie.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wait, those were two different movies?

''{The Flash Plugin Error screen fills the scene with the text "Oh, man", and below it, "We gotta figure something out, fast!".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But they both came out, like, the same summer even.

==Easter Eggs==
* At the end, click on the Red Button on the Flash Plugin Error screen to see a scene with the Concession Stand.
:''{the shutter of the Concession Stand is down and the sign reads "BUBS' FALLOUT 5HELTER"}''.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Bubs, where's the bathroom in this place? It's just a bunch of canned goods.
:'''BUBS:''' Well, you know what they say, Strong Bad. Today's Pork and Beans is tomorrow's toilet.
:'''COACH Z:''' And in some rare cases, today's.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh! Bubs, I thought you said this fallout shelter was Coach Z-free.
:'''BUBS:''' Well, somebody's gotta carry on the human race.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' W-ah! I don't want to think about words any more.
* At the end, click on "gotta" to see Homestar's dating profile on his website.

:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Welcome to my dating profile. It's not done. Name, Homestar Michael Runner. Type! Single-ish no-armed whitey, is vulnerable and should be updated. Status, Marzipan'd! Likes! Beans backed with rice. Uhm, that's all I can think of tonight. No likes. Aw, this one is easy; four-door Sedans and billfolds! I don't even know what a billfold is. Boo-ding! This site is best viewed using Ned's cape 1.0 or lower.
* At the end, click on "fast" to see a scene with F. Sack.
:'''F. SACK:''' Aw man, Strong Bad. Sometimes, I wish you had named me "Horse Giblets". Better than that ol' name F. Sack; sounds unsavory.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[wikipedia:HTML|HTML]] stands for "HyperText Markup Language".
*The entire short alludes to [[wikipedia:Adobe Flash Player|Adobe Flash Player]], which is the software platform used to play all the Homestar Runner cartoons in web browsers. There have been periodic concerns about security issues with Flash Player. Many people have called for Flash to be abandoned entirely, in favor of the more modern and secure [[wikipedia:HTML5|HTML5]]. This movement gained significant momentum when the browsers [[Wikipedia:Firefox|''Mozilla Firefox'']] and [[Wikipedia:Google Chrome|''Google Chrome'']] officially deprecated Flash, tagging them as permanently non-secure plugins "in need of an update" regardless of their actual version; this situation, and the resulting error screens, led directly to the creation of the cartoon (the opening is the Firefox error message for an out-of-date plugin). Interestingly, Adobe Flash Professional can now export directly to HTML5 canvas, which should ease the transition.

===Remarks===
*This is the sixth toon in a row not to include a [[toons without back buttons|back button]].
*On the [[TV Time Toons Menu]], the description reads "It's all over! Head for the hills!" in the [[New Stuff]] menu while the [[Shorts]] section simply reads "It's all over!".
*This is the first time that Homestar is seen making an asymmetrical squint/eyebrow raise.

===Fixed Goofs===
* Originally, the tall grass around objects embedded into the ground was a different shade of green from the rest of the grass. It was fixed within a few minutes, with only the grass around the Flash authoring interface pieces remaining the alternate shade of green.

===Glitches===
*All three Easter eggs have a clickable field around them before Homestar finishes talking, but cannot be activated until then.

===Inside References===
*Homestar Runner's dating profile is a reference to [[Homestar Runner's Website]].
**The profile contains the phrase "[[beans]] [[b/w]] rice".
**Homestar describes his relationship status as [[Marzipan]][['d]].
*Strong Bad previously called Homestar a "no-armed whitey" in [[The Interview]].
*Homestar previously gave Strong Bad a ''[[Deep Impact]]'' DVD in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] and [[Real-Live E-Mails]].
**The DVD cover appears here as a vectorized version with alternate text.
*Bubs mentions [[pork]] and beans, which were previously mentioned in [[helium]], [[Arcade Game]], and [[business trip]].

===Real-World References===

*Strong Bad references the [[Wikipedia:List of U.S. state nicknames|state nickname]] of [[wikipedia:Minnesota|Minnesota]], "The Land of 10,000 Lakes".

*"[[Wikipedia:I Don't Want to Miss a Thing|I Don't Want to Miss a Thing]]" was a song from the soundtrack to ''Armageddon''. The song was written by [[Wikipedia:Diane Warren|Diane Warren]] and performed by [[Wikipedia:Aerosmith|Aerosmith]], and was the first song by the band to reach the top of the Billboard Hot 100.
*Homestar's mention of "Morgan Shawshank" refers to ''Deep Impact'' star [[Wikipedia:Morgan Freeman|Morgan Freeman]], who played the President of the United States in the film and starred as Red in ''[[Wikipedia:The Shawshank Redemption|The Shawshank Redemption]]''.
**He also mentions [[Wikipedia:Robert Duvall|Robert Duvall]], who played Captain Spurgeon "Fish" Tanner in ''Deep Impact''.
*"Ned's cape 1.0" is a reference to [[Netscape]] 1.0, an Internet browser released in 1994.
*[[Wikipedia:Jeffrey Lyons|Jeffrey Lyons]] is a film, theater, and television critic based in New York City. He has hosted several television programs based on film reviews, including the PBS-produced ''[[Wikipedia:Sneak Previews|Sneak Previews]]'' where he was one of the replacements for the original hosts, [[Wikipedia:Siskel & Ebert|Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert]].

==YouTube Version==

*The YouTube version has two exclamation marks in its name.
*As with most of the YouTube versions of recent toons, a [[YouTube Related Video Thumbnails|group of nine thumbnails]] appears at the end of the main cartoon, parodying YouTube's related video thumbnails. However, unlike the previous two toons with these fake thumbnails, all of the thumbnails present in this version are new. The thumbnails are as follows:
{| {{standardtable}}
|-
| [[Homsar]] and F. Sack and in The Field as there's an explosion in the background. This is a reference to the "meteor" Strong Bad compared Flash's death to. || A thumbnail drawn by [[The Cheat]] reading "Pow'd by The Cheat", a reference to [[Powered By The Cheat]]. || [[Pom Pom]] is seen on blue gradient without a head and his eyes moved onto his body. There is white text above him reading "The New Style!".
|-
| A cross-eyed dancing Bubs is on a gray floor against a purple polka-dotted background with the text above him reading "Still Dang Dancin'!", a reference to [[Dancin' Bubs]]. || A real-life plushie Strong Bad is seen in a room with a poster in the background. This plushie is first seen in a tweet by [[@StrongBadActual]]. || [[Puppet Homestar]] is with [[Mike Chapman]] again in "Coffee Town with Homestar + Mike" Episode 12. However, the name of the show is in black text in a white box and is over Mike's face.
|-
| There are four Strong Bads with one of their arms extended against a blue gradient. || A [[peasant]] from [[Peasant's Quest Proposed Sequels|Peasant's Quest Online?]] hovering over the [[Compé]]'s keyboard on Strong Bad's desk. The peasant is leaving a bouncy, dashed white line behind him, à la [[Where U Goin' 2?]] || Multiple light brown, blue and white diagonal stripes. Text above reads "Cool Stripes w/ [[The Poopsmith]]".
|}
*After the thumbnails, the Easter eggs are played in the order of Bubs' Fallout Shelter, the monologue by F. Sack, and then Homestar Runner's dating website.

Mystery Science Theater 3000

2011-01-09T01:02:00Z

VmKid: Re-writing the show's premise.

[[File:Tom servo.PNG|thumb|I'm huge!]]
<blockquote>
"That's something that I feel like I learned from Mystery Science Theater, I felt like they were always dropping... either references to a joke they had already made that was totally exclusive to the show, or making some weird reference to a commercial from the late '70s or something, that... they knew that only about 10 people were gonna get, but they made that joke anyway, so it was just sort of like... 'This is for you 10 dudes that're gonna like this joke.'" — Matt Chapman, [[Late Nite JengaJam Interview - 4 Oct 2007]]</blockquote>

'''[[Wikipedia:Mystery Science Theater 3000|Mystery Science Theater 3000]]''' was a cult TV show that ran from 1989 to 1999 on Comedy Central and the Sci-Fi Channel. The main premise of the show is a janitor by the name of Joel Robinson is trapped in space on the "Satellite of Love" by an evil scientist named Dr. Forrester and is shown the "worst [movies] [they] can find." To keep sane, he builds four robot companions to help him make fun of the movies, namely Cambot, Gypsy, Tom Servo, and Crow. Eventually, Joel escapes the Satellite and is replaced with Mike Nelson. The show has proven to be influential, and [[The Brothers Chaps]] occasionally reference the show.

==Appearances==
*[[A Jorb Well Done]] — [[Tom Servo]] can be seen in silhouette, similar to the way he appears during the movie portion of the show.
*Email [[personal favorites]] — Coach Z says, "I'm a blade man, man", a reference to the riff of ''Santa Claus Conquers the Martians'': "Santa's gonna cut you, man. Santa's a blade man, man!"
*[[Random toon]] — Nicknamed Rando, which is a running gag in the [[WIkipedia:Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie|feature film version]]'s end credits.
*[[Which Ween Costumes?]] — [[The Poopsmith]] dresses as Voldar from ''Santa Claus Conquers The Martians''.

Strong Bad, Homestar, Strong Mad, The Cheat and Marzipan appear as grotesque caricatures in [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/flash-tub/tub-bites-vol.php Tub Bites vol. 2.].

The update of March 1, 2007, [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/movie-reviews/steve-movie-blog.php Steve's Movie Review Blog], contains reference to the [[Strong Bad Email]]s.

Homestar appears in [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/flash-tub/internet-cartoon-2000.php Funny Housemates 2] and [http://www.somethingawful.com/d/flash-tub/housemates-cartoon-3.php Funny Housemates 999]. He looks like Homestar, but acts more like Homsar.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' What do you get when you email Strong Bad? You get a world of hurt.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hey Strong Bad, 
I think that you should do more 
e-mails every week. Like two. Then 
we could have double the Strong Bad, 
and double the fun. 
 
Jimmy, MN</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad temporarily stops reading and says, "Ooh! That's like Strong Bad gum!" after "double the fun," and reads "MN" as "Minini"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Okay little Jimmy. I'll do two emails this week. ''{stops typing, long pause}'' Number two.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hey Strong Bad, 
If you could time travel, what period 
in time would you travel to? 
 
Dave Nienaber 
Antioch, IL</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad draws out the "CH" in "Antioch" and pronounces "IL" as "Ill-annoy-us"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Naber, I'd definitely travel ahead about 15 minutes to when all the ladies show up for my "2003 Ladies' Choice Awards."

''{A logo flashes on screen saying "Ladies' Choice Awards" and a little ditty of music plays}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' About 70 or 50 fine women will be showing up to vote on which one gets to dance with yours truly. But since I don't have a time machine, I'll just have to wait it out.

''{After a few seconds, everything starts going in fast-forward. We only get brief glimpses of [[#Events During the Fast Forward|all the stuff that happens]] as Strong Bad forwards ahead, and we stop the fast-forward on a screen that's typed: "Now, On to the ladies!!!" Cut to Strong Bad, Coach Z, Strong Mad, Bubs, and Strong Sad awaiting the females. The room is decorated with a banner that says "weclome ladies/girls" and balloons reading "Ladies' Choice" and "Vote Strong Bad". Many nametags are set out on a tray for the ladies; however, there are no ladies to be seen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't get it! Where could the ladies be?

'''BUBS:''' You said there'd be the ladies!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know! I know! Maybe their bus flew off a bottomless cliff... and into, like... a bottomless pit. Strong Sad, did anybody call and say they weren't coming?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh yeah, I forgot—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or mention anything about a bottomless pit?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. About a million ladies called while you were checking your email and said they'd be a few minutes late.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, good! So their bus is okay.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, I'm just kidding! But Homsar called and said he was a million ladies tall.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! Oh, this has gone from bad to worse!

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, guys, check it out! ''{puts a nametag on}'' I'm hot girl number 37!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, Coach, don't do it! This is depressing enough as it is.

'''COACH Z:''' No, lookit me! ''{starts dancing}'' I'm shakin' it to the left and to the right!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Auuuuuuuuuuugh! ''{starts walking off}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{humming}'' Doo doo duh DOO doo doo doo duh doo doo!

'''STRONG MAD:''' I WANT ACTION!

''{The same ditty that played before plays again, except this time the logo reads "No Ladies Showed Up!" The banner falls from the wall. Cut back to the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm sorry you had to see that. I shoulda played it safe and gone ''back'' in time to where I ''know'' I'm awesome. But, since I don't have a time machine I guess I'll just have to wait it out. ''{stops typing}'' Umm... ''{starts typing again}'' Backwards.

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

== Easter Eggs ==

:'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Nothing else increases brain juice quite like it! Once again, that's ''{holds the tin to the camera}'' Strong Bad's Flavor Taste Style Chewing Powders. ''{pulls the tin back to normal view}'' Whisk away the worries!

:'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Smashing! ''{pause}'' No, I mean... start smashing!

:'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes! It's curtains for you, ''{shakes fist}'' Ming vase!
:''{Cut to a closeup of the tin of Uncle Strong Bad's Flavor Taste Style Chewing Powders.}''

*Strong Bad types, "Now, on to the ladies!!!"

=== The Nametags ===
Most start with "Hello, my name is hot girl #". Exceptions noted:
*48
*v2.14 (no "#")
*4077 ("hot lips" instead of "hot girl")
*00
*18
*7 (written as "hotgirl")
*Sue (written as "hotgirl"; no "#")
*40
*2
*8 (written as "hotgirl")
*13
*[[20X6|X6]]
*37
*26c
*26

===Explanations===
*An [[apothecary]] is similar to a modern-day [[Wikipedia:pharmacist|pharmacist]]. Apothecaries sold medicines, tobacco, cure-alls, and other such goods.

===Trivia===
*This is another instance of [[Strong Bad checking more than one email]].
*Strong Bad's Double Deuce-blemint Gum in the Easter egg (costing 25¢) has the slogan "It's light green!!!", and the package's fine print reads "Strong Bad's Double Deuce-blemint Gum is the product of choice".

===Remarks===
*The third line in Strong Bad's BASIC program is unreachable because the second line will make the program display "Strong Bad is cool" an infinite number of times.
*The contrast buttons on the Compy work during the fast forward sequence.
**If you freeze the Flash file during the fast forward sequence when Homestar comes and types about a time machine, you can adjust the contrast and Homestar's reflection will be affected, unlike in [[anything]] and [[50 emails]].
*The Compy's frame appears distorted during the fast-forward, yet the fast-forward has no effect on the screen features such as the text, Strong Bad's reflection, and the DELETED! screen. (See image below.)
*The Delaware email (copying [[sb_email 22]]) is an example of one of the [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#Pre-animation Process - 4:05 p.m.|five things not to email Strong Bad about]].
*When Coach Z is "shakin' it to left and to the right" he faces left and right from the viewer's perspective, not his own.
*Homestar misspells [[Nintendo#Game Boy|Game Boy]] as "Gameboy". It is properly spelled as two words.

===Goofs===
*At the end, the back button extends to the left of the text.

===Glitches===
[[Image:Sbemail 2-emails goof.PNG|thumb|Distortion Displacement]]
[[Image:2-faced Strong Bad.png|thumb|2-faced?]]
*After the backwards Easter egg, the word "backwards" doesn't fade out entirely, but remains on the screen for a second before disappearing.
*During the fast-forward sequence:
**Where the screen is filled with "Strong Bad is Cool", the text sometimes sticks out of the monitor.
**As Strong Bad takes a sip from his drink, there is no reflection of the drink on the screen.
**You can see Strong Bad's mouth is gone after he drinks.
**When Strong Bad punches the Compy, the distortion from the fast forward remains in the same spot of the frame, despite the fact it has left where the distortion logically occurs.
***When Strong Bad punches the screen, his arm is detached from his body.
**When Strong Bad turns around to look at the camera, the reflection on the Compy still shows his face instead of the back of his head.
**Strong Bad's reflection goes off the Compy's screen when he stands on the stool. Also, the head portion of the reflection is incorrectly affected by changing the Compy's contrast, and if the contrast is turned all the way up, this portion of the reflection disappears entirely.
**The text is not affected by the "distortion" of the image due to the fast-forward. Neither is the DELETED! screen.

===Inside References===
*The "[[Double Deuce]]" on the gum is a reference to the email [[the bird]] and [[20X6]].
*The Welcome sign reads "[[Unusual Greetings#Weclome|Weclome]]".
*The [[name tags]] Strong Bad prepared for the hot ladies can also be seen in [[The Luau]].
*This is another mention of a [[bottomless pit]].
*This is another reference to [[Van Buren]].
*This is another reference to [[Nintendo]].

===Real-World References===
*Double Deuce-blemint Gum is based on Wrigley's [[Wikipedia:Doublemint|Doublemint]] gum.
**"Double the Strong Bad ... double the fun" is a reference to the old Doublemint gum slogan "double your pleasure, double your fun".
*"Hot lips #4077" is a reference to the [[wikipedia:M*A*S*H (novels)|book]], [[imdb:tt0066026|movie]] and [[imdb:tt0068098|TV show]] M*A*S*H. All chronicled life at the 4077th [[wikipedia:Mobile army surgical hospital|Mobile Army Surgical Hospital]] during the Korean War. Major Margaret [[Wikipedia:Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan|"Hot Lips"]] Houlihan was a major character.
*A [[Wikipedia:Chinese ceramics|Ming vase]] is a vase produced by the Ming Dynasty in ancient China, and is therefore very valuable.
* The "Muskeegee trail" may be a reference to the Muskogee Trail, or the [[Wikipedia:Trail of Tears|Trail of Tears]].

===Fast Forward===
*Homestar's time machine is seen as an "alternate universe portal" in [[alternate universe]].
*Although a Strong Bad gum is seen in an Easter egg, in the email [[candy product]] Strong Bad claims he has not made a candy product.
*In the [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons menu]], the short [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]] has the description, "He's no apothecary.", a reference to Old-Timey Strong Bad in this email's Easter egg.
*A similar BASIC program from the fast-forward (however, written in [[Wikipedia:Applesoft BASIC|Applesoft BASIC]]) was seen again in [[Workin' on the Game]].

== DVD Version ==
*The gum and event logo Easter eggs are viewable using the angle button on your DVD remote.
*The "Backwards" Easter egg plays twice when activated.

==Place ya bets==
Sorry about that, I was using next epi-snowed as a starting template and meant to copy and paste the text into its own article. I fear I shall leave this up to those who aren't currently at work. [[User:GillanTheVillain|GillanTheVillain]] 22:25, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
: Naw, it's an easy mistake to make. I do see now that, yes, the short IS real. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:27, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

==contribs==
Uh, sorry about that [[Strong Badia the Free]] thing. I'll be more careful next time. Have you already reverted to the past version of the page, how it was before I edited it? Thanks if you did. {{User:Mas12806/sig}} 21:35, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
: Yeah, and if it was an accident, it's all cool now. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:11, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

==A little thank you==
I just want to pass a brief thank you for your assistance on Behind the Bad Episode 2's transcription. Though, I don't know if this is clear yet, but I'm a ''female''. No biggie though, it happens :) [[User:Rexy|Rexy]] 07:34, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
: Actually, the possibility of you being female occurred to me shortly after I typed that and took a second look at your user name. Oh well. No offense meant, of course. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:41, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

==Typo?==
"A game about love, honor, power, and giant taking kitty cats..."

Shouldn't that be giant ''talking'' kitty cats?--[[Special:Contributions/99.161.128.249|99.161.128.249]] 00:54, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
: ... ... ... ... ... Now how long has that been on my user page?!?!?! Thanks for pointing it out. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:28, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
: (To answer my own rhetorical question, that typo went unnoticed for almost four years. Oops. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:54, 28 October 2008 (UTC))

== Sig ==

Just to let you know, it's no longer thanksgiving. It's christmas. {{User:Sylar/sig}} 01:04, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
: Oh, yeah. I wasn't even paying attention to my sig. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:05, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
::Jay, how do you change the colors in your sig? coz i want more than just green. Plz tell me asap. {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 07:04, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

==No Hard Feelings==

Quoting one of your edit summaries for the Halfathlon responses in ''8-Bit Is Enough'':

:"Okay, sorry I got upset. Anyway, sometimes the subtitles are wrong, as you can tell here."

Don't worry about it. I saw that most of your frustration was taken out on [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington's]] additions to the responses archive rather than mine, so it shouldn't be me you should be apologising. As for subs, I have them on all the time due to a personal hearing problem I have.

But yeah, in other words: don't criticise yourself. Stay cool. Drink pie-monade. [[User:Rexy|Rexy-mberween]] ([[User_talk:Rexy|save the rabbits!]]) 19:56, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

==Sensitive to Bees==
I made a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtY4_VtMlJg second video] to show how I edited the audio on the CD's track. Hope this is enlightening for you!

== Re: [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Best/Worst_X_Ever&diff=next&oldid=628983 this edit] ==

Sorry about that, my American-learned grammar instincts reacted instantly. I'll keep that in mind for the future. {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 05:36, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
: No, it's cool. It's not the first time this has come up. Just remember: the policy on this Wiki is to only put punctuation marks inside quotation marks if they're part of the quote. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:38, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

== Music? ==

I made a message for myself for my birthday and want to post it on the wiki so's people can hear it. Is there somewhere I can do it? Like in a personal sounds file? Or do I has to wait for the fanstuff wiki to emerge from the depths of darkness? [[User:Jagger88|Jagger88]] 12:32, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

::Well, if I put it in my personal files and removed it after, say, a week, would that be acceptable?

Jay, I do not mean to be pushy or anything, but earlier when you said you "weren't buying the double punctuation", well I didn't buy it first either, but there are [[theme park|quite]] [[Answering Machine|a]] [[Wear a bikini!|few]] times I've seen this.

This is the second time i've been able to say this in the past week, but thanks for the reversion. lol i thought the umpire said "You're out" instead of "Stee-rike." i must have been thrown off by the extra syllable in strike. and since they only showed the last strike of the KOT's at-bat (which of course that's all they would do), that also skewed my decision. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 16:40, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Quoting one of your edit summaries for the Halfathlon responses in ''8-Bit Is Enough'':

:"Okay, sorry I got upset. Anyway, sometimes the subtitles are wrong, as you can tell here."

Don't worry about it. I saw that most of your frustration was taken out on [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington's]] additions to the responses archive rather than mine, so it shouldn't be me you should be apologising. As for subs, I have them on all the time due to a personal hearing problem I have.

But yeah, in other words: don't criticise yourself. Stay cool. Drink pie-monade. [[User:Rexy|Rexy-mberween]] ([[User_talk:Rexy|save the rabbits!]]) 19:56, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

makes you sawesome. Do you have a Strong Badian 
dictionary fo your own words? 
Sincerely Yours, 
Costrick
}}
''{"fo" is pronounced as written. Strong Bad hesitates a little when saying "Costrick"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Course I do Cross-stitch. ''{rapping}'' You think the regular dictionary can handle all the quotient quotables I'm droppin' on a daily basis? Those dictionaries are only good for helping ''{cut to a scene of The Cheat in the bathroom, standing on two dictionaries, and brushing his teeth}'' The Cheat brush his teeth ''{cut to a scene outside in The Field, Homestar walking in frame right}'' and helping Homestar lose his teeth.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hurl!

''{Strong Bad throws the dictionary at Homestar's head}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Tooth! ''{a giant tooth flies out of Homestar's mouth and lands on the ground. Homestar leans over to look at it}''

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' For something this sawesome, I had to once again call upon the finest name in names to put in front of book titles. And thus was born unto the world, ''{cut to a close up of the book}'' ''Count Longardeaux's Strong Badian Jerktionary Fo' My Own Words!''

''{Strong Bad puts a [[sticky note]] on the book}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quickly}'' Or ''Count Longardeaux's Strong Badian talkwords for saying from your mouth'', for short.

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' We all know the main problem with dictionaries is that there are too many words, and not enough butterscotch sauce! So I went ahead and dribble-drabbled a little boodroscotch all over it. Kinda like a frou frou dessert ''{cut to a slow zoom of the book on a plate, drizzled with sauce; music is playing in the background}'' at a chichi restaurant, restaurant.

'''OLD LADY:''' Oh, that looks sinfully—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{record scratch}'' Shut up, shut up, lady! The sauce makes the pages stick together—

''{Cut to a scene with Strong Sad trying to read the sauce covered book, flipping pages back and forth}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' which makes for way less words!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey, this dictionary goes straight from "crap-valanche" to "puke-valanche"!

''{Cut to a close-up of the book, this time opened to the "Suffix" section}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And that brings us to the Suffix section. ''{each "suffix" is highlighted in turn}'' -valanche, -quake, -rnado, -onsoon.

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing behind the butterscotch covered book}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All the great natural disaster suffixes are included!

''{Cut to a sample from the book}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{smoothly}'' This suckquake of a movie is a complete wastenado of my seven bucksonsoon.

''{Diamond wipe to Strong Bad smiling in front of many colored lines, disco music playing in the background}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now ''that's'' talking like a Strong Bad dude!

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' For some words, words alone are not enough to define them. That's why my dictionary has scratch n' sniff stickers!! I mean, how are you going to define a word like ''{cut to Strong Bad opening the book to the P's}'' paunch, without smelling ''{Strong Bad puts a stick with a Strong Sad caricature that reads "Paunch it up!"}'' Strong Sad considerable paunch!

''{Cut to Strong Sad in his room, arms akimbo, angrily standing in front of the open book}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' My paunch does not smell! ''{Strong Sad slaps his body to punctuate the last words}''

''{Cut to all the main characters gathered on The Stage}''

'''ALL:''' Yes it does!

''{Crowd claps and the curtain closes}''

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Not to be outdone by that no-talent schwa sound, the Strong Badian Dictionary features several gutteral utterances, or you guessed it ''{Cut to a "Family Feud" display which already reads "Zsa Zsa" and "Kneepads". A quick scale is heard when "Gutterences" is revealed, followed by a buzzer}'' gutterences ''{cut back to the Compé}'' that are used to express complete disinterest in specific people.

''{Cut to Strong Bad twirling a football, screen right in the locker room. Coach Z enters screen left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' There's the "pffgh!" sound ''{tattered piece of paper comes down}'' for Coach Z.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, Strong B'd! Wanna hear about my glory days on the field?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pffgh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The "aungh!" sound ''{Strong Bad remains in the same place, but the background changes to Marzipan with Carol and a microphone singing around the fences}'' for Marzipan.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{amplified}'' Wanna hear my cover of "Glory Days"?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aungh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And of course, the ever popular ''{scene shift again, this time to the Basement of the Brothers Strong, with Strong Sad sitting on the couch}'' "graaauuughnck!!" sound for you-know-who.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Talk?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Graaauuughnck!!

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' In order to keep the power of the Strong Badian language from falling into the hands of lesser minds, I've built booby-traps right into the dictionary. Nothing gets rid of Homestar for a few hours like an endless "see also" loop.

''{Cut to Homestar, looking fatigued, and wearing night clothes, reading the dictionary at night in the kitchen}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' "Crap for brains", see also "carp for brains". See also "brain for brains". See also "crap for brains". See also— Man, this is the best choose my own adventure I've ever play-read!

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And there you have it Caustic. The Strong Badian dictionary. From A:ab-abber to Z:zawesome. ''{quickly}'' Available where ever fine made up reference books are sold. ''{normally}'' Oh! And speaking of, The Cheat's probably done brushing his teeth now. Better go see if ''someone'' can go pee-pees in um potty all by hwimswelf. Ugh! The Cheat training... what're ya gonna do?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Give him the goods, Compé...-per.

''{Strong Bad gets up, making [[The Geddup Noise]], and the [[Compé-per]] appears. Crossfades to a dictionary page entitled "Today's Entries".}''

===Trivia===

===Remarks===
*Strong Sad himself can be seen behind Pom Pom when the main characters protest that Strong Sad's "paunch smells." His body is even moving, indicating that he is saying "Yes it does."
*When Homestar flips from "crap-for-brains" to "carp-for-brains", he flips from near the end of the dictionary to near the beginning, even though both words start with C. He looks up "brain-for-brains" near the end of the dictionary as well. Also, when he flips from one section to another, one section has a "C" on the page, and the other has a "P".
*There is a double-space between "little" and "boodroscotch".
*The suffix "-onsoon" (hinting at [[Wikipedia:Monsoon|monsoon]]) does not fit in the list because monsoon is actually not considered to be a natural disaster.

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad doesn't type the "a" in "droppin' on ''a'' daily basis."
*When it zooms in on the dictionary after Strong Bad says "Shut up, lady!", the lower left corner of his mouth protrudes from his head slightly while he's talking.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Course I do Cross-stitch. ''{rapping}'' You think the regular dictionary can handle all the quotient quotables I'm droppin' on a daily basis? Those dictionaries are only good for helping ''{cut to a scene of The Cheat in the bathroom, standing on two dictionaries, and brushing his teeth}'' The Cheat brush his teeth ''{cut to a scene outside in The Field, Homestar walking in frame right}'' and helping Homestar lose his teeth.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hurl!

''{Strong Bad throws the dictionary at Homestar's head}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Tooth! ''{a giant tooth flies out of Homestar's mouth and lands on the ground. Homestar leans over to look at it}''

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' For something this sawesome, I had to once again call upon the finest name in names to put in front of book titles. And thus was born unto the world, ''{cut to a close up of the book}'' ''Count Longardeaux's Strong Badian Jerktionary Fo' My Own Words!''

''{Strong Bad puts a [[sticky note]] on the book}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quickly}'' Or ''Count Longardeaux's Strong Badian talkwords for saying from your mouth'', for short.

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' We all know the main problem with dictionaries is that there are too many words, and not enough butterscotch sauce! So I went ahead and dribble-drabbled a little boodroscotch all over it. Kinda like a frou frou dessert ''{cut to a slow zoom of the book on a plate, drizzled with sauce; music is playing in the background}'' at a chichi restaurant, restaurant.

'''OLD LADY:''' Oh, that looks sinfully—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{record scratch}'' Shut up, shut up, lady! The sauce makes the pages stick together—

''{Cut to a scene with Strong Sad trying to read the sauce covered book, flipping pages back and forth}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' which makes for way less words!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey, this dictionary goes straight from "crap-valanche" to "puke-valanche"!

''{Cut to a close-up of the book, this time opened to the "Suffix" section}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And that brings us to the Suffix section. ''{each "suffix" is highlighted in turn}'' -valanche, -quake, -rnado, -onsoon.

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing behind the butterscotch covered book}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All the great natural disaster suffixes are included!

''{Cut to a sample from the book}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{smoothly}'' This suckquake of a movie is a complete wastenado of my seven bucksonsoon.

''{Diamond wipe to Strong Bad smiling in front of many colored lines, disco music playing in the background}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now ''that's'' talking like a Strong Bad dude!

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' For some words, words alone are not enough to define them. That's why my dictionary has scratch n' sniff stickers!! I mean, how are you going to define a word like ''{cut to Strong Bad opening the book to the P's}'' paunch, without smelling ''{Strong Bad puts a stick with a Strong Sad caricature that reads "Paunch it up!"}'' Strong Sad considerable paunch!

''{Cut to Strong Sad in his room, arms akimbo, angrily standing in front of the open book}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' My paunch does not smell! ''{Strong Sad slaps his body to punctuate the last words}''

''{Cut to all the main characters gathered on The Stage}''

'''ALL:''' Yes it does!

''{Crowd claps and the curtain closes}''

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Not to be outdone by that no-talent schwa sound, the Strong Badian Dictionary features several gutteral utterances, or you guessed it ''{Cut to a "Family Feud" display which already reads "Zsa Zsa" and "Kneepads". A quick scale is heard when "Gutterences" is revealed, followed by a buzzer}'' gutterences ''{cut back to the Compé}'' that are used to express complete disinterest in specific people.

''{Cut to Strong Bad twirling a football, screen right in the locker room. Coach Z enters screen left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' There's the "pffgh!" sound ''{tattered piece of paper comes down}'' for Coach Z.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, Strong B'd! Wanna hear about my glory days on the field?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pffgh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The "aungh!" sound ''{Strong Bad remains in the same place, but the background changes to Marzipan with Carol and a microphone singing around the fences}'' for Marzipan.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{amplified}'' Wanna hear my cover of "Glory Days"?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aungh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And of course, the ever popular ''{scene shift again, this time to the Basement of the Brothers Strong, with Strong Sad sitting on the couch}'' "graaauuughnck!!" sound for you-know-who.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Talk?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Graaauuughnck!!

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' In order to keep the power of the Strong Badian language from falling into the hands of lesser minds, I've built booby-traps right into the dictionary. Nothing gets rid of Homestar for a few hours like an endless "see also" loop.

''{Cut to Homestar, looking fatigued, and wearing night clothes, reading the dictionary at night in the kitchen}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' "Crap for brains", see also "carp for brains". See also "brain for brains". See also "crap for brains". See also— Man, this is the best choose my own adventure I've ever play-read!

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And there you have it Caustic. The Strong Badian dictionary. From A:ab-abber to Z:zawesome. ''{quickly}'' Available where ever fine made up reference books are sold. ''{normally}'' Oh! And speaking of, The Cheat's probably done brushing his teeth now. Better go see if ''someone'' can go pee-pees in um potty all by hwimswelf. Ugh! The Cheat training... what're ya gonna do?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Give him the goods, Compé...-per.

===Explanations===
*"[[Wikipedia:Quotient|Quotient]]" is the answer of a division program.
*[[Wiktionary: frou-frou|Frou frou]] (usually spelled with a dash) means fancy. [[Wiktionary:Chichi|Chichi]] means trendy or chic. Both words are derived from [[French]].

===Trivia===
*The natural disaster suffixes Strong Bad mentioned are for "avalanche", "earthquake", "tornado", "monsoon", and "forest fire".

===Remarks===
*Strong Sad himself can be seen behind Pom Pom when the main characters protest that Strong Sad's "paunch smells." His body is even moving, indicating that he is saying "Yes it does."
*When Homestar flips from "crap-for-brains" to "carp-for-brains", he flips from near the end of the dictionary to near the beginning, even though both words start with C. He looks up "brain-for-brains" near the end of the dictionary as well. Also, when he flips from one section to another, one section has a "C" on the page, and the other has a "P".
*There is a double-space between "little" and "boodroscotch".
*Homsar's quote is similar to one by [[Senor Cardgage]] in [[fan club]].
*The "wastenado of my seven bucks-forest fire" remarks are similar to [[best/worst X bucks I ever spent]].
*The suffix "-onsoon" (hinting at [[Wikipedia:Monsoon|monsoon]]) does not fit in the list because monsoon is actually not considered to be a natural disaster.

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad doesn't type the "a" in "droppin' on ''a'' daily basis."
*When it zooms in on the dictionary after Strong Bad says "Shut up, lady!", the lower left corner of his mouth protrudes from his head slightly while he's talking.
*In the definition for "boodroscotch", the word "that" is repeated.

VmKid: /* Stub? */

== Rename ==
How about renaming this to "No Paper"? [[User:OneGyT|OneGyT]] 02:12, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
:Nah, "Virtual Paper" is far more descriptive. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:13, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
::What about "The Papér" or "Virtual Papér?" {{User:Movie magic man/sig}} 19:45, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
:::Actually, what Strong Bad called the Virtual Paper in the new e-mail [[dictionary]] was "Compé-per", pronounced "Com-paper"

==Edit war==
[[Image:virtualpaper.png|thumb|400px]]
Which is better? 
comment on picture: Looks like Strong Bad's gone the-paperless! and in the body: Strong Bad then customized Virtual Paper's pop-up noise to match The Paper's old "Preeeeow" noise, though the sound quality is significantly lower.

or

comment on picture: Preeeeow 3.0, with Preeeeow 1.0 downgrade! and in the body: Strong Bad then customized Virtual Paper's pop-up noise to match The Paper's old "Preeeeow" noise.

Opinions would be appreciated {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 03:17, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
:I like it how it is now. No one ever calls it 3.0, and the downgrade comment is ambiguous. You can't tell at all it's referring to sound quality. -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.135|128.103.10.135]] 03:32, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
::The downgrade is referring to the custom sound, and the sound quality is no lower than the rest of the old paper's preeeows. The preeeeow 3.0 refers to preeeow 2.0 when SB got the new paper. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 03:47, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
:::Okay, well, that just shows that it is indeed ambiguous in meaning.-[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.135|128.103.10.135]] 03:50, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
::::Well, i thought the 3.0 caption was funnier. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 03:51, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::New Paper's sound was called Preeow 2.0, so VP's noise could be called Preeow 3.0. As for "downgrade", it orginally had it's own sound, but Strong Bad changed it to The Paper's Preeow (or Preeow 1.0), therefore, this could be called "Preeow 3.0, with Preeow 1.0 downgrade". I fail to see the ambiguity. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 21:03, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
::::::Well, I still like the other caption better. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.140.193|132.183.140.193]] 21:17, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::::Yeah, but we already have [[car|like, a jillion]] other captions that are direct quotes from their picture's introducary cartoon. Why change it to one of these when we already have a (mildly) unique one already? {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 21:26, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
::::::::I personally am in support of the downgrade comment. It's funnier and more original than "Looks like Strong Bad's gone the-paperless!" While I'm all for comments that are quotes from the toons, I think we should use a funnier, more original quip if we can. {{User:Mr_Eyeball}}
:::::::::I'm fine with 3.0, though, as many have said, no one in the Homestar Runner universe has ever called it that so far. I guess it's because I haven't heard [[The Paper]] in years, but comparing a The Paper era-email ([[rough copy]]) to [[independent]], and there is no change in the quality of the Preeeow, as DeFender said. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 16:35, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
::::::::::I still think it's just terribly unfunny, but as the edit summary that changed it back said, majority rules. -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.135|128.103.10.135]] 01:19, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::::It would appear as though the "in the body" section is closed. The current phrasing seems to be winning out. I think from here we just need to work on the caption of the picture. This is why we need STUFF, that way we would know whether or not it was a majority rule. My personal opinion is that toon quotes are used so often that they could be a standard. (idk whether it actually is one or not; and yes, i know i've gone against standards before) even if it isn't, we should wait to see if they ever say "3.0" before making that the picture's caption. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 02:02, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
::::::::::::I say NO WAY to the Preeeow 3.0 thing. We called Envelope Paper Preeeow 3.0, so wouldn't this be Preeeeow 4.0? [[User:SBE-mail Checker Dan]]
::::::::::::::Seeing as the Envelope Paper wasn't a permanant paper, and made no sound at all when it came down, it really shouldn't count as "Preeow 3.0". {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 16:38, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::::::Surely it's Preeow 1.1 or something... --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 03:05, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

==Stub?==
I think this is about as much info were gonna get about Virtual Paper, so is it safe to remove the "stub" template, or are we gonna leave it on for now? {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 21:13, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Keep it until we get more information about Com-paper like oddities, etc. --[[User:VmKid|VmKid]] 17:33, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

User:DorianGray/Analysis of Homsar's Speech Patterns

2009-09-01T17:25:02Z

VmKid: /* Homsar's Speech in Chronological Order */

'''Homsar's speech patterns''' are quite unusual, and many believe that his strange way of speaking is the result of a mental disorder such as [[Wikipedia:Word salad (mental health)|word salad]], a condition in which sentence structure and grammar are intact, but individual words are picked at random and have no particular meaning. This article pulls together all of the things [[Homsar]] has said since his introduction in the [[Homestar Runner universe]], identifies the context of each line, and determines whether or not the line qualifies as a word salad.

== Homsar's Speech in Chronological Order ==

{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 width="100%" style="border-collapse:collapse"
|-------------------------------------------------- bgcolor=#eeeeee
! Quote !! Toon !! Context !! Comments
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Uhdyeah, what ees it, Strong Bayaad?"
| Email [[homsar]] (2001)
| Responding to [[Strong Bad]], who had just gotten his attention.
| This is a simple greeting.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "DaAAahhh, hello, [[Marzipan|Marzypa-yun]]. It's Homsar! Dahhh, I was just calling to thank you for the flowers you sent me while I was in the hospital. Daahh, I'm feeling much better now, but I still can't feel my leeegs. Okay, bye-dee-bye."
| [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0]] (Oct. 15, 2001)
| Homsar has presumably recovered from having the [[Heavy Lourde]] dropped on him.
| Homsar speaks in basically perfect (if exaggerated) English in this message.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for some candy today!"
*"YaAaAaAh, I'm the original ladies' man!"
*"If you give me a treat, make sure that it's sweet, and I'll eeeat iiiiiit..."
*"Oh no, I think this is my favorite!"
| [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] (Oct. 27, 2001)
| Homsar's intro, and then his lines after being handed Shavin' Creem, black and orange taffy, and a wrench, respectively.
| His intro is a paraphrasing of the catch phrase of [[Wikipedia:J. Wellington Wimpy|Wimpy]], the character from the [[Wikipedia:Popeye|Popeye]] cartoons (who he is dressed as), namely "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today." His responses to the treats are strange, but not completely random.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"Oh no! You shanked my Jengaship!"
*"AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Hey, Tubbs! I just lost my Jengajam."
| [[Where's The Cheat?]] (Feb. 25, 2002)
| Homsar is playing Connect Four with [[Strong Sad]], then speaks to [[Bubs]] when he enters the room.
| Homsar's line does reference two games, although not the one he is actually playing, Connect Four, as Strong Sad observes. He doesn't quite get Bubs' name right.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAaAaAaAaA!!! I'm saving the best for last!"
| Email [[your friends]] (Oct. 14, 2002)
| During the montage, Strong Bad buries Homsar and covers him with scorpions, which begin to crawl into his mouth.
| It is debatable whether Homsar's phrase has any connection to his predicament. If it is connected, it would seem to imply that he enjoys eating scorpions.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
* "I'm the ghost of Christmas past."
* "And also with you."
| [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] (Oct. 29, 2002)
| [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] and [[The Cheat]] walk up to Homsar, whose "pumpkin" is an eggplant with a spoon taped to it.
| Homsar's first response references ''A Christmas Carol'', while his second line is a common response in many religious prayers. He could be angry at Homestar, saying that he should have last place too. Both have some connection to the scene, and neither one is a word salad.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "When can we start the Jeffersons?"
| [[Strong Sad's Lament]] (Nov. 18, 2002)
| Strong Sad mentions in his journal this was all Homsar said to him that day.
| The context is unknown. Perhaps he was commenting on how boring Strong Sad is, and expressing his desire to do something else.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Nowowowow, this is the thrill of a lifetime."
| [[Happy T!]] (Nov. 28, 2002)
| This Easter egg was found by clicking on the bottom-right corner of the page.
| The other characters all said some variation of "Happy T!", but Homsar's line could still be construed to make some sense.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I do what I'm told..."
| Email [[dragon]] (Jan. 13, 2003)
| Strong Bad had just told him to get out of his house.
| Coherent given the situation.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Hey Reggie! Is that rhinoceros around?"
*"I'm a song from the sixties."
| Email [[interview]] (Feb. 10, 2003)
| These are Homsar's actual lines in this email. The other "lines" were spoken by Strong Bad.
| Homsar's first line is peculiar, but it makes enough sense that Strong Bad, as well as the viewer, can figure out that he's referring to Strong Sad. The second line is a comedic repetition of one of Strong Bad's lines.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| '''[[Toons]]:''' "ToOoOoOons!" '''[[Games]]:''' "James!" '''[[Characters]]:''' "[[Wikipedia:Kelsey Grammer|Kelsey Grammer]]!" '''[[Downloads]]:''' "Thank youuuuu." '''[[Store]]:''' "Legitimate business." '''[[Email]]:''' "AaAaAaAaAaAaA!"
| [[Homsar Main Page]] (Feb. 10, 2003)
|Homsar provides unique ways of reading the buttons.
|
*Toons: merely exaggerated pronunciation.
*Games: merely mispronounced.
*Characters: Kelsey Grammer is an actor, so it fits.
*Downloads: he could be giving thanks for receiving a download.
*Store: He is implying that the store is a "legitimate business".
*Email: He is obviously dizzy, as the area is swirling.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AAAaaaAAAaaa-I'm just in time for the murder mystery!"
| Email [[suntan]] (Jun. 16, 2003)
| A "Celebrity(?) Testimonial" of Strong Bad's Ab-Abber 2000. Homsar had used it to draw a calculator with the word "SALAd" on his shirt.
| Homsar's line does not make sense in this scene, but the sentence itself is coherent.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Hi, Wonder Mike! I'm Homsar! The captain of the gravy train. Climb aboard! '''I've brought my best foot flowered... Pshoooo!''' Sure beats breaking up with me. Don't look now! I'm just a friendly reminder. AaAaAaAaAaAaA! AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Think I won the Powerball."
| [[Homsar#Character Video Transcript|Homsar's Character Video]] (Jul. 14, 2003)
| Homsar introduces himself.
| "I've brought my best foot flowered", if taken at face value, is a prime example of a word salad — the sentence makes no sense either in context or by itself, and yet is still syntactically valid. However, Homsar might have meant to say "forward" instead of "flowered", which would make the sentence make much more sense. The rest of Homsar's video is made up of coherent but disconnected sentences that each make sense by themselves. If there were such a thing as a "sentence salad", this would be it. It is possible, however, that he simply wasn't sure what he should be saying.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm crying on the inside..."
| Email [[impression]] (Aug. 25, 2003)
| Homsar had just been disqualified from the Strong Sad Lookalike Contest because he was mistaken for Strong Sad.
| This line makes sense for two reasons: It's something Strong Sad would likely say, and Homsar himself may have been sad that he was disqualified.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAa! I'm open for interpretation!"
| [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]] (Oct. 29, 2003)
| Homsar's secret costume, Slash from Guns N' Roses.
| Could be reinterpreted as "What do you think of my costume?" In addition, this could be a reference to whether his sudden appearance in the cartoon has any significance to the story.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "You gotta get yours, I gotta get mine."
| Email [[army]] (Jan. 5, 2004)
| Responding to Homestar's call to action for the [[Homestarmy]].
| This line makes some sense in this context — it could be construed that Homsar really is in the Homestarmy for personal reasons.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm forever your girl."
| Email [[different town]] (Feb. 23, 2004)
| Spoken as [[Different Town Character Variations|Modestly Hot Homsar]]. It should be noted that this took place in Strong Bad's imagination.
| This phrase makes perfect sense, considering that Homsar was just transformed into a female figure.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "It's time for tasteball!"
| Email [[theme park]] (May 25, 2004)
| Giving information to Homestar Runner.
| This one is a close call. On the one hand, the viewer is left wondering exactly what tasteball is, but Homestar replies with "Oh crap, it's tasteball already?", indicating that it was not unexpected for Homsar to say that. Tasteball could presumably be one of their duties as mascots. On the other hand, Homsar's line may qualify as a true word salad, and Homestar's reply could just be a typical clueless reaction. As they are working at a theme park, Homsar could also be referring to amusement parks' tendencies to create unique games for their customers.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top

*"DaAaAaA! I'm a trendy tote bag!"
*"I'm not gonna lie to you, that's a healthy piece of real estate!"
*"That's a real popular song! Who wants to hear of it fifty times more?"
| Email [[for kids]] (Aug. 9, 2004)
| Homsar on his kids' show, ''[[Whaddaya Know, Haddi-Man?]]''
| "I'm a trendy tote bag" makes some sense in context, because Homsar is appearing on a public television show, and tote bags are among the most common free gifts given by public television stations in pledge drives. His line about real estate (referring to the letter G) makes a small amount of sense in context. His last line is strongly connected to the scene, in which they had just finished singing "Stave It Off, 1-2-3".

| "I blew it, man. I lose my touch."
| [[Halloween Fairstival]] (Oct. 29, 2004)
| This was a line spoken by Kumar from ''Bottle Rocket'', which was Homsar's costume.
| This makes sense because he's quoting the character upon which his costume is based.

|
*"Alms for the pudgy! Alms for the pudgy."
*"You're a real state trooper."
| [[Homestar Presents: Presents]] (Dec. 20, 2004)
| Homsar is running a donation station, and Homestar stops by, spits in the donation can, then leaves again.
| Homsar's first line is a take on "Alms for the poor", a common greeting for beggars, panhandlers, and donation takers. The second line is an odd way of saying "thanks". Both make sense.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm the human wedgie."
| Email [[origins]] (Jan. 31, 2005)
| Homsar was glued to Marzipan as a prank.
| This line seems to indicate that Homsar is aware of his predicament, but it doesn't really relate all that well. However, "The Human (noun)" is a pretty common way to describe one's self performing the function of an inanimate object — for example, "The Human Cannonball" — and this could be akin to his calling himself "The Human Prank".
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Caramel corn for president, please."
| Email [[rampage]] (Apr. 11, 2005)
| Homsar gives "praise" to Strong Sad at his Poetry Slam.
| As praise, this sentence makes little sense. On its own, it also doesn't make much sense, though it is fairly close to "Kernel/Colonel Corn", which is a common joke. It may be a stretch to call this a word salad.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm just me, can't you see? I'm just a silly little bumblebee."
| Email [[record book]] (Jul. 25, 2005)
| Sung while jumping up and down on one foot with nine pieces of chewing gum on his face. Coach Z did the same thing moments before in order to win a record, but Strong Bad told him that there were no records for something that no one else would ever do.
| There are two possible explanations for this. The more likely explanation is that Homsar actually does jump up and down on one foot with nine pieces of chewing gum on his face while singing the "I'm Just Me" song on a regular basis, which is ironic, since Strong Bad had just said that no one else would ever do that. The other is that Homsar is mimicking Coach Z, although this is not nearly as likely, as it isn't nearly as bizarre as the former explanation, and is therefore incongruous with Homsar's character.

*"AaA, get consummate."
*"I'm pleasant!"
| [[Rock_Opera_(karaoke)#Easter_Eggs|Karaoke version of "Rock Opera" (alternate take)]] (Jul. 25, 2005)
| Sung as part of the alternate take on Strong Bad's rock opera, whose lyrics consists of one word from each of his then-125 emails.
| These quotes make perfect sense because both phrases refer to the words representing the emails [[japanese cartoon]] and [[dragon]], and [[crying]] and [[for kids]], respectively, in the actual email.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Location, location, location!"
| [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]] (Nov. 1, 2005)
| Homsar dresses up as Tingle from the Legend of Zelda series. He says this after Homestar rejects his "choices".
| Homsar's quote here is a common phrase used in real estate (the three most important things). It does make some sense when paired with his costume, as [[Wikipedia:Tingle|Tingle]] sold maps to Link in his debut in [[Wikipedia:Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]].
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Let's sing a song of Pennzoil!"
| [[Fall Float Parade]] (Nov. 21, 2005)
| Two Homsars drive through the parade.
| Could be construed as a product endorsement, or as a humorous reference to product endorsement, since Pennzoil has sponsored many such parades in the real world. Also, Pennzoil is an oil used in automobiles, and the Homsars are driving cars.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm a little light in the leftovers!"
| [[Weclome Back]] (Jul. 3, 2006)
| Homsar says this while standing on a merchandise table.
| Homsar takes a common phrase and substitutes a random word — something he does fairly often. This sentence could be construed to mean "I don't have much leftover stuff", or "I'm not very smart". It should also be noted that being "a little light in the '''loafers'''" is a common euphemism for homosexuality. The phrase itself, when put into context, is likely Homsar's way of saying that the merchandise is a limited time offer, or he simply ran out.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "This dinner party is top dollar!"
| [[cliffhangers]] (Sept. 18, 2006)
| Homsar says this while hanging off a cliff by a rope.
| Not exactly appropriate given the situation, but he does acknowledge that he is at a gathering. It could also be inferred that he likes hanging upside-down. Additionally, he could be referencing the King of Town's tendency to eat random things. It is also possible that Strong Bad convinced both Homsar and the King of Town that he was taking them to a dinner party, which would have made sense to the King of Town.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Eggs tree, eggs tree! This get-up is mah get down!"
| [[Happy Hallow-day]] (Oct. 30, 2006)
| Homsar is holding a newspaper with the headline "Eggs Tree! Eggs Tree!"
| "Eggs Tree" sounds like the way Homestar pronounced "extree" earlier in the toon, albeit broken up into words. Plus, during this scene he's standing next to a tree full of actual eggs. "This get-up is mah get down" refers to when Homestar says that the Newspaper Boy outfit was NOT his Halloween costume. The opposite is the case for Homsar.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Well, hello, chocolate cake!"
| [[strong badathlon]] (Jan. 29, 2007)
| Homsar and Marzipan are having a tea party when The Cheat, covered in [[whatsit]], comes flying through the air and lands on the table.
| This line makes some sense in this context, since chocolate and whatsit are both brown in color. Another way this line could make sense is that "chocolate cake" can be used as a term of endearment. It is also possible that Homsar could be referring to the shape of The Cheat as a piece of chocolate cake.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAh! My cheese is 50 cent!"
| [[Who Said What Now?]]
| This is Homsar's quote for the game.
| Since all of the character quotes in the game reflect the character in some way, this quote makes sense, since Homsar's character that of a non-sequitor.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "These Easter pants are getting way too tight."
| [[DNA Evidence (toon)|DNA Evidence]] (May 15, 2007)
| This is Homsar's reply to Strong Sad, when the latter asks the former if he will say anything at the end of the toon.
| There are a couple of things this line could reference: Homsar's occasional appearances in [[Easter egg]]s, and the common running gag of [[pants]]. Perhaps Homsar is somewhat dazed by Strong Sad's long exposition and is uttering whatever is on his mind. It could also mean that he feels pressure from Strong Sad after witnessing such an out-of-character revelation from him, and wishes to remove himself from the uncomfortable situation or change the subject. It could also be referring to himself, "The Human Wedgie". Another explanation is he refers to secrets as "easter pants" (hence the term EASTER egg) and he can't keep much more of them.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Ennn-joy!"
| [[160 Seconds]] (Jun. 5, 2007)
| The English-speaking males take turns reading the introduction of the video.
| This quote makes perfect sense because they hope the viewers like the video.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAaAaA! Don't count on it, monster may-an!"
| [[mini-golf]] (Aug. 13, 2007)
| Homsar's response to Strong Bad while floating through the air above [[Sweet Puttin' Cakes]], when Strong Bad asked the [[Drive-Thru Whale]] "Homsar, is that you?"
| This would appear to make literal sense, as Homsar is not inside the Drive-Thru Whale, though he appears to have given Strong Bad another new nickname.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm a touchy feely-holic!"
| [[Jibblies 2]] (Oct. 29, 2007)
| Homsar's response to the [[Horrible Painting]].
| This response makes sense in reference to his costume, the "Noony Noony Noo" Typewriter Guy and can be interpreted as "I like using myself to type."
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm a long-standing munch date!"
| [[Where's The Cheat? (game)]] (Nov. 12, 2007)
| Strong Bad meets Homsar in a secret room.
| This would make sense if Homsar felt he was waiting too long for someone to access his Easter Egg.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "My name's Millions, and I'm the son of a Chipwich!"
| [[fan club]] (Jan. 28, 2008)
| Homsar's response to Strong Sad's mentioning of the ongoing debate of the non sequitur championship.
| This makes perfect sense as a response to the mentioning of non sequiturs, one of which this definitely is. Homsar's first line may also be him trying to introduce himself to Strong Sad's [[The Deleteheads|fan club]].
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaaAAaaaaAaaa! Step right up! I'm a crudely drawn cupcake! Don't forget your tapesicle!"
| [[Homestar Ruiner]] (Aug. 11, 2008)
| This is the message you receive when you call Homsar using Homestar's cell phone.
| Homsar does something he does fairly often. When he doesn't really have anything to communicate, he just draws something out of mid-air, however he does have the shape of a "crudely drawn cupcake". "Don't forget your tapesicle" is a word salad, or may simply be a reminder for the caller to leave a message.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "DaaAAAAAaaa! I'm the buttersilk pancake!"
| [[Make a Scene with Telltale: Strong Bad Edition]] (Aug. 31, 2008)
| This is Homsar's comment on the pancake that everyone else is discussing.
| This makes sense in that everyone is talking about the pancake the King of Town is supposedly making. It may be implied that Homsar himself is the pancake and Homestar's follow-up line about him affirming this supports this.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Daaah, I'm a knock knock joke about jogging suits!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| This is what Homsar usually says when you try to talk to him.
| This sounds like a word salad, however, when Strong Bad gains the ability to understand Homsar this is translated into "Hello, Strong Bad. What's the haps?"
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Pucker up, Dice Man! I'm as upholstered as I wanna be!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar usually says this when Strong Bad asks him to join Strong Badia.
| At first glance this may seem like a word salad (with Strong Bad hoping he's not Diceman), but Homsar could be rejecting Strong Bad's offer. When Strong Bad can understand Homsar, this is translated as "Why should my people risk open war for you and your considerable style?"
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAaAaA, try some caked-on makeup from yesteryear!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| This is what Homsar says when Strong Bad asks him about "that rock with the glowy popsicles stickin' out of it."
| Homsar apparently responds to Strong Bad's question, and if a Homsartifact is inserted in the pylon, "caked-on makeup" is translated to "assemble the sacred elemental items."
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Sign me up for soccer class, Debra!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar's response to Strong Bad attempting to speak in Homsar's language.
| It may seem like a word salad, but when Strong Bad speaks Homsar's language after being enlightened to Homsar's ways, it is translated as "Why are you speaking gibberish Strong Bad? Seriously, you sound like a two-years old boy."
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Hotel coupons for dinner again?"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| | Homsar's response to Strong Bad when he shows Homsar one of the Homsartifacts.
| Like the other responses from Strong Badia the Free, this sounds like a word salad, and has yet to be translated, but is probably Homsar trying to tell Strong Bad to put it in the "pylon."
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "My base boards are filled with chicken sticks!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
|

| "DaAaHh I'll take the last bus to the bake sale!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
|
|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Daaaahhhh, I'm the local Leroy!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar's response in Strong Bad's prep talk to the latter's line, "Have something to share with the rest of the class?".
| This likely counts as a word salad, but may mean that Homsar is willing to go to battle in the Homestarmy.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Daaaahhh, this mustard is just like paradise!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar's response to being in the Fog of War during the Maps and Minions game.
| Homsar is claiming that he doesn't mind being inside the fog. The term "mustard" may refer to "mustard gas", meaning that Homsar may think that the Fog of War is a mustard gas cloud, and he doesn't mind it.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"Daaah, no thanks, officer! I've got the one big round one!"
*"AaAaAa! I'm the long way back from naptime!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar's response to Strong Sad's droning in the Maps and Minions game.
| While they appear to be word salads, like everything else Homsar says in the game, they mean something else. In this case, Homsar is probably telling Strong Sad that he is not afraid and is taking the King of Town ("the one big round one") back to the Castle. He also seems to know that he is talking to a law enforcement officer. Alternatively, he could be talking to Strong Bad, saying he doesn't need help and he'll keep Strong Sad (the one big round one) occupied for him. "I'm the long way back from naptime" may be a threat to knock Strong Sad out.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Here comes the yogurt patrol!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar says this when confronting Strong Mad.
| Homsar may be warning Strong Mad to watch out for him.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------valign=top
| "I left my bacon at the tennis patch."
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar says this after being defeated by Homestar.
| This sentence could possibly mean that he surrendered and left for important reasons.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "[[Pie|Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie]]!"
| [[Baddest of the Bands]] (Oct. 27, 2008)
| Homsar screams this while being electrocuted at the DOI concert.
| Homsar was in distress, and likely shouted the first thing that came to mind.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAah leave my itch machine on pause mostly!"
| [[Baddest of the Bands]] (Oct. 27, 2008)
| Homsar's response to Strong Bad asking why he's still on stage after the concert.
| The "itch machine" in question may be Homsar's theremin, as it somewhat resembles a scratching post. On a related note, "itch machine" is one of the possible things Homsar will pick for what the "I" stands for in DOI.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAah'm the Captain Caveman of the graveyard train!"
| [[Most in the Graveyard]] (Oct. 30, 2008)
| Homsar speaks this line disguised as Captain Caveman, popping out from behind a grave.
| This sentence makes perfect literal sense on its own, and is also a reference to his character video, in which he refers to himself as the "captain of the gravy train."
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "You bring the dip, I'll mow the side yard."
| [[Career Day]] (Mar. 10, 2009)
| Homsar says this when Strong Bad as Space Captainface announces to talk about his career in space travel.
| This sentence may likely refer to Homsar's reaction to Strong Bad's description of his career, similar to Strong Mad and Homestar's respective initial negative reactions to him.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Kaaaaronk there, Rubbermaid! Can you redirect me to the nearest pukevalanche?"
| Email [[dictionary]] (Sep. 1, 2009)
| Homsar is in [[Strong Badia]], speaking to [[the tire]] while reading Strong Bad's dictionary
| He is in Strong Badia, trying to speak Strong Badian to a "local". "Pukevalanche" is a term that Strong Bad used earlier in the email, so this may very well make sense, in the context that he actually is trying to find a "pukevalanche". His name for the tire makes sense because it is most likely made of rubber.
|}

== Analysis and Summary ==

As shown here, there are logical arguments for almost all of Homsar's phrases. It seems that Homsar simply has an odd and somewhat indirect way of communicating with others.

There is a pattern that appears during this analysis, however: In almost every case, if there's a strong reason for Homsar to communicate a particular concept, he'll do it unerringly — one can always tell what he means. It is when he doesn't have a particularly strong reason to communicate that his speech becomes more random. For example, if he has a request ("Is that rhinoceros around?", "That's a real popular song! Who wants to hear of it fifty times more?"), his sentence relates quite clearly to the scene, and is itself perfectly valid, even if there was a much more direct way of saying it. But in his character video, his sentences are almost completely disconnected from one another, and in [[suntan]] and [[theme park]], he had no particular reason to send a message, so he seemed to just pull a random sentence out of thin air, perhaps just so he could say something.

It seems clear that while Homsar doesn't have a strong grasp on reality, he is pretty coherent most of the time, and he can relate to other characters and his surroundings when he needs to. Looking at the definition of "word salad" as given by Wikipedia, it does not appear that Homsar suffers from this disorder — at least, not much.

However, in [[Strong Badia the Free]] it is determined that Homsar's speech is actually a well-developed language, as Strong Bad is briefly able to understand it, making Homsar's speech make perfect sense. To Strong Sad, however, the two characters appear to be speaking nonsense.

VmKid: /* Homsar's Speech in Chronological Order */

'''Homsar's speech patterns''' are quite unusual, and many believe that his strange way of speaking is the result of a mental disorder such as [[Wikipedia:Word salad (mental health)|word salad]], a condition in which sentence structure and grammar are intact, but individual words are picked at random and have no particular meaning. This article pulls together all of the things [[Homsar]] has said since his introduction in the [[Homestar Runner universe]], identifies the context of each line, and determines whether or not the line qualifies as a word salad.

| [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] (Oct. 27, 2001)
| Homsar's intro, and then his lines after being handed Shavin' Creem, black and orange taffy, and a wrench, respectively.
| His intro is a paraphrasing of the catch phrase of [[Wikipedia:J. Wellington Wimpy|Wimpy]], the character from the [[Wikipedia:Popeye|Popeye]] cartoons (who he is dressed as), namely "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today." His responses to the treats are strange, but not completely random.

| [[Where's The Cheat?]] (Feb. 25, 2002)
| Homsar is playing Connect Four with [[Strong Sad]], then speaks to [[Bubs]] when he enters the room.
| Homsar's line does reference two games, although not the one he is actually playing, Connect Four, as Strong Sad observes. He doesn't quite get Bubs' name right.

| "AaAaAaAaAaAaA!!! I'm saving the best for last!"
| Email [[your friends]] (Oct. 14, 2002)
| During the montage, Strong Bad buries Homsar and covers him with scorpions, which begin to crawl into his mouth.
| It is debatable whether Homsar's phrase has any connection to his predicament. If it is connected, it would seem to imply that he enjoys eating scorpions.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top

* "I'm the ghost of Christmas past."
* "And also with you."
| [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] (Oct. 29, 2002)
| [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] and [[The Cheat]] walk up to Homsar, whose "pumpkin" is an eggplant with a spoon taped to it.
| Homsar's first response references ''A Christmas Carol'', while his second line is a common response in many religious prayers. He could be angry at Homestar, saying that he should have last place too. Both have some connection to the scene, and neither one is a word salad.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "When can we start the Jeffersons?"
| [[Strong Sad's Lament]] (Nov. 18, 2002)
| Strong Sad mentions in his journal this was all Homsar said to him that day.
| The context is unknown. Perhaps he was commenting on how boring Strong Sad is, and expressing his desire to do something else.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Nowowowow, this is the thrill of a lifetime."
| [[Happy T!]] (Nov. 28, 2002)
| This Easter egg was found by clicking on the bottom-right corner of the page.

*"I'm a song from the sixties."
| Email [[interview]] (Feb. 10, 2003)
| These are Homsar's actual lines in this email. The other "lines" were spoken by Strong Bad.
| Homsar's first line is peculiar, but it makes enough sense that Strong Bad, as well as the viewer, can figure out that he's referring to Strong Sad. The second line is a comedic repetition of one of Strong Bad's lines.

*Toons: merely exaggerated pronunciation.

| "AAAaaaAAAaaa-I'm just in time for the murder mystery!"
| Email [[suntan]] (Jun. 16, 2003)
| A "Celebrity(?) Testimonial" of Strong Bad's Ab-Abber 2000. Homsar had used it to draw a calculator with the word "SALAd" on his shirt.
| Homsar's line does not make sense in this scene, but the sentence itself is coherent.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Hi, Wonder Mike! I'm Homsar! The captain of the gravy train. Climb aboard! '''I've brought my best foot flowered... Pshoooo!''' Sure beats breaking up with me. Don't look now! I'm just a friendly reminder. AaAaAaAaAaAaA! AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Think I won the Powerball."
| [[Homsar#Character Video Transcript|Homsar's Character Video]] (Jul. 14, 2003)
| Homsar introduces himself.
| "I've brought my best foot flowered", if taken at face value, is a prime example of a word salad — the sentence makes no sense either in context or by itself, and yet is still syntactically valid. However, Homsar might have meant to say "forward" instead of "flowered", which would make the sentence make much more sense. The rest of Homsar's video is made up of coherent but disconnected sentences that each make sense by themselves. If there were such a thing as a "sentence salad", this would be it. It is possible, however, that he simply wasn't sure what he should be saying.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm crying on the inside..."
| Email [[impression]] (Aug. 25, 2003)
| Homsar had just been disqualified from the Strong Sad Lookalike Contest because he was mistaken for Strong Sad.
| This line makes sense for two reasons: It's something Strong Sad would likely say, and Homsar himself may have been sad that he was disqualified.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAa! I'm open for interpretation!"
| [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]] (Oct. 29, 2003)
| Homsar's secret costume, Slash from Guns N' Roses.
| Could be reinterpreted as "What do you think of my costume?" In addition, this could be a reference to whether his sudden appearance in the cartoon has any significance to the story.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "You gotta get yours, I gotta get mine."
| Email [[army]] (Jan. 5, 2004)
| Responding to Homestar's call to action for the [[Homestarmy]].
| This line makes some sense in this context — it could be construed that Homsar really is in the Homestarmy for personal reasons.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm forever your girl."
| Email [[different town]] (Feb. 23, 2004)
| Spoken as [[Different Town Character Variations|Modestly Hot Homsar]]. It should be noted that this took place in Strong Bad's imagination.
| This phrase makes perfect sense, considering that Homsar was just transformed into a female figure.

| Email [[theme park]] (May 25, 2004)
| Giving information to Homestar Runner.
| This one is a close call. On the one hand, the viewer is left wondering exactly what tasteball is, but Homestar replies with "Oh crap, it's tasteball already?", indicating that it was not unexpected for Homsar to say that. Tasteball could presumably be one of their duties as mascots. On the other hand, Homsar's line may qualify as a true word salad, and Homestar's reply could just be a typical clueless reaction. As they are working at a theme park, Homsar could also be referring to amusement parks' tendencies to create unique games for their customers.

*"DaAaAaA! I'm a trendy tote bag!"
*"I'm not gonna lie to you, that's a healthy piece of real estate!"
*"That's a real popular song! Who wants to hear of it fifty times more?"
| Email [[for kids]] (Aug. 9, 2004)
| Homsar on his kids' show, ''[[Whaddaya Know, Haddi-Man?]]''
| "I'm a trendy tote bag" makes some sense in context, because Homsar is appearing on a public television show, and tote bags are among the most common free gifts given by public television stations in pledge drives. His line about real estate (referring to the letter G) makes a small amount of sense in context. His last line is strongly connected to the scene, in which they had just finished singing "Stave It Off, 1-2-3".
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I blew it, man. I lose my touch."
| [[Halloween Fairstival]] (Oct. 29, 2004)
| This was a line spoken by Kumar from ''Bottle Rocket'', which was Homsar's costume.
| This makes sense because he's quoting the character upon which his costume is based.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"Alms for the pudgy! Alms for the pudgy."
*"You're a real state trooper."
| [[Homestar Presents: Presents]] (Dec. 20, 2004)
| Homsar is running a donation station, and Homestar stops by, spits in the donation can, then leaves again.
| Homsar's first line is a take on "Alms for the poor", a common greeting for beggars, panhandlers, and donation takers. The second line is an odd way of saying "thanks". Both make sense.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm the human wedgie."
| Email [[origins]] (Jan. 31, 2005)
| Homsar was glued to Marzipan as a prank.
| This line seems to indicate that Homsar is aware of his predicament, but it doesn't really relate all that well. However, "The Human (noun)" is a pretty common way to describe one's self performing the function of an inanimate object — for example, "The Human Cannonball" — and this could be akin to his calling himself "The Human Prank".
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Caramel corn for president, please."
| Email [[rampage]] (Apr. 11, 2005)
| Homsar gives "praise" to Strong Sad at his Poetry Slam.
| As praise, this sentence makes little sense. On its own, it also doesn't make much sense, though it is fairly close to "Kernel/Colonel Corn", which is a common joke. It may be a stretch to call this a word salad.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm just me, can't you see? I'm just a silly little bumblebee."
| Email [[record book]] (Jul. 25, 2005)
| Sung while jumping up and down on one foot with nine pieces of chewing gum on his face. Coach Z did the same thing moments before in order to win a record, but Strong Bad told him that there were no records for something that no one else would ever do.
| There are two possible explanations for this. The more likely explanation is that Homsar actually does jump up and down on one foot with nine pieces of chewing gum on his face while singing the "I'm Just Me" song on a regular basis, which is ironic, since Strong Bad had just said that no one else would ever do that. The other is that Homsar is mimicking Coach Z, although this is not nearly as likely, as it isn't nearly as bizarre as the former explanation, and is therefore incongruous with Homsar's character.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"AaA, get consummate."
*"I'm pleasant!"
| [[Rock_Opera_(karaoke)#Easter_Eggs|Karaoke version of "Rock Opera" (alternate take)]] (Jul. 25, 2005)
| Sung as part of the alternate take on Strong Bad's rock opera, whose lyrics consists of one word from each of his then-125 emails.
| These quotes make perfect sense because both phrases refer to the words representing the emails [[japanese cartoon]] and [[dragon]], and [[crying]] and [[for kids]], respectively, in the actual email.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Location, location, location!"
| [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]] (Nov. 1, 2005)
| Homsar dresses up as Tingle from the Legend of Zelda series. He says this after Homestar rejects his "choices".
| Homsar's quote here is a common phrase used in real estate (the three most important things). It does make some sense when paired with his costume, as [[Wikipedia:Tingle|Tingle]] sold maps to Link in his debut in [[Wikipedia:Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]].
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Let's sing a song of Pennzoil!"
| [[Fall Float Parade]] (Nov. 21, 2005)
| Two Homsars drive through the parade.
| Could be construed as a product endorsement, or as a humorous reference to product endorsement, since Pennzoil has sponsored many such parades in the real world. Also, Pennzoil is an oil used in automobiles, and the Homsars are driving cars.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm a little light in the leftovers!"
| [[Weclome Back]] (Jul. 3, 2006)
| Homsar says this while standing on a merchandise table.
| Homsar takes a common phrase and substitutes a random word — something he does fairly often. This sentence could be construed to mean "I don't have much leftover stuff", or "I'm not very smart". It should also be noted that being "a little light in the '''loafers'''" is a common euphemism for homosexuality. The phrase itself, when put into context, is likely Homsar's way of saying that the merchandise is a limited time offer, or he simply ran out.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "This dinner party is top dollar!"
| [[cliffhangers]] (Sept. 18, 2006)
| Homsar says this while hanging off a cliff by a rope.
| Not exactly appropriate given the situation, but he does acknowledge that he is at a gathering. It could also be inferred that he likes hanging upside-down. Additionally, he could be referencing the King of Town's tendency to eat random things. It is also possible that Strong Bad convinced both Homsar and the King of Town that he was taking them to a dinner party, which would have made sense to the King of Town.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Eggs tree, eggs tree! This get-up is mah get down!"
| [[Happy Hallow-day]] (Oct. 30, 2006)
| Homsar is holding a newspaper with the headline "Eggs Tree! Eggs Tree!"
| "Eggs Tree" sounds like the way Homestar pronounced "extree" earlier in the toon, albeit broken up into words. Plus, during this scene he's standing next to a tree full of actual eggs. "This get-up is mah get down" refers to when Homestar says that the Newspaper Boy outfit was NOT his Halloween costume. The opposite is the case for Homsar.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Well, hello, chocolate cake!"
| [[strong badathlon]] (Jan. 29, 2007)
| Homsar and Marzipan are having a tea party when The Cheat, covered in [[whatsit]], comes flying through the air and lands on the table.
| This line makes some sense in this context, since chocolate and whatsit are both brown in color. Another way this line could make sense is that "chocolate cake" can be used as a term of endearment. It is also possible that Homsar could be referring to the shape of The Cheat as a piece of chocolate cake.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAh! My cheese is 50 cent!"
| [[Who Said What Now?]]
| This is Homsar's quote for the game.
| Since all of the character quotes in the game reflect the character in some way, this quote makes sense, since Homsar's character that of a non-sequitor.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "These Easter pants are getting way too tight."
| [[DNA Evidence (toon)|DNA Evidence]] (May 15, 2007)
| This is Homsar's reply to Strong Sad, when the latter asks the former if he will say anything at the end of the toon.
| There are a couple of things this line could reference: Homsar's occasional appearances in [[Easter egg]]s, and the common running gag of [[pants]]. Perhaps Homsar is somewhat dazed by Strong Sad's long exposition and is uttering whatever is on his mind. It could also mean that he feels pressure from Strong Sad after witnessing such an out-of-character revelation from him, and wishes to remove himself from the uncomfortable situation or change the subject. It could also be referring to himself, "The Human Wedgie". Another explanation is he refers to secrets as "easter pants" (hence the term EASTER egg) and he can't keep much more of them.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Ennn-joy!"
| [[160 Seconds]] (Jun. 5, 2007)
| The English-speaking males take turns reading the introduction of the video.
| This quote makes perfect sense because they hope the viewers like the video.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAaAaA! Don't count on it, monster may-an!"
| [[mini-golf]] (Aug. 13, 2007)
| Homsar's response to Strong Bad while floating through the air above [[Sweet Puttin' Cakes]], when Strong Bad asked the [[Drive-Thru Whale]] "Homsar, is that you?"
| This would appear to make literal sense, as Homsar is not inside the Drive-Thru Whale, though he appears to have given Strong Bad another new nickname.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm a touchy feely-holic!"
| [[Jibblies 2]] (Oct. 29, 2007)
| Homsar's response to the [[Horrible Painting]].
| This response makes sense in reference to his costume, the "Noony Noony Noo" Typewriter Guy and can be interpreted as "I like using myself to type."
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm a long-standing munch date!"
| [[Where's The Cheat? (game)]] (Nov. 12, 2007)
| Strong Bad meets Homsar in a secret room.
| This would make sense if Homsar felt he was waiting too long for someone to access his Easter Egg.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "My name's Millions, and I'm the son of a Chipwich!"
| [[fan club]] (Jan. 28, 2008)
| Homsar's response to Strong Sad's mentioning of the ongoing debate of the non sequitur championship.
| This makes perfect sense as a response to the mentioning of non sequiturs, one of which this definitely is. Homsar's first line may also be him trying to introduce himself to Strong Sad's [[The Deleteheads|fan club]].
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaaAAaaaaAaaa! Step right up! I'm a crudely drawn cupcake! Don't forget your tapesicle!"
| [[Homestar Ruiner]] (Aug. 11, 2008)
| This is the message you receive when you call Homsar using Homestar's cell phone.
| Homsar does something he does fairly often. When he doesn't really have anything to communicate, he just draws something out of mid-air, however he does have the shape of a "crudely drawn cupcake". "Don't forget your tapesicle" is a word salad, or may simply be a reminder for the caller to leave a message.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "DaaAAAAAaaa! I'm the buttersilk pancake!"
| [[Make a Scene with Telltale: Strong Bad Edition]] (Aug. 31, 2008)
| This is Homsar's comment on the pancake that everyone else is discussing.
| This makes sense in that everyone is talking about the pancake the King of Town is supposedly making. It may be implied that Homsar himself is the pancake and Homestar's follow-up line about him affirming this supports this.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Daaah, I'm a knock knock joke about jogging suits!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| This is what Homsar usually says when you try to talk to him.
| This sounds like a word salad, however, when Strong Bad gains the ability to understand Homsar this is translated into "Hello, Strong Bad. What's the haps?"
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Pucker up, Dice Man! I'm as upholstered as I wanna be!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar usually says this when Strong Bad asks him to join Strong Badia.
| At first glance this may seem like a word salad (with Strong Bad hoping he's not Diceman), but Homsar could be rejecting Strong Bad's offer. When Strong Bad can understand Homsar, this is translated as "Why should my people risk open war for you and your considerable style?"
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAaAaA, try some caked-on makeup from yesteryear!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| This is what Homsar says when Strong Bad asks him about "that rock with the glowy popsicles stickin' out of it."
| Homsar apparently responds to Strong Bad's question, and if a Homsartifact is inserted in the pylon, "caked-on makeup" is translated to "assemble the sacred elemental items."
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Sign me up for soccer class, Debra!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar's response to Strong Bad attempting to speak in Homsar's language.
| It may seem like a word salad, but when Strong Bad speaks Homsar's language after being enlightened to Homsar's ways, it is translated as "Why are you speaking gibberish Strong Bad? Seriously, you sound like a two-years old boy."
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Hotel coupons for dinner again?"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| | Homsar's response to Strong Bad when he shows Homsar one of the Homsartifacts.
| Like the other responses from Strong Badia the Free, this sounds like a word salad, and has yet to be translated, but is probably Homsar trying to tell Strong Bad to put it in the "pylon."
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "My base boards are filled with chicken sticks!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
|
|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "DaAaHh I'll take the last bus to the bake sale!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
|
|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Daaaahhhh, I'm the local Leroy!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar's response in Strong Bad's prep talk to the latter's line, "Have something to share with the rest of the class?".
| This likely counts as a word salad, but may mean that Homsar is willing to go to battle in the Homestarmy.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Daaaahhh, this mustard is just like paradise!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar's response to being in the Fog of War during the Maps and Minions game.
| Homsar is claiming that he doesn't mind being inside the fog. The term "mustard" may refer to "mustard gas", meaning that Homsar may think that the Fog of War is a mustard gas cloud, and he doesn't mind it.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"Daaah, no thanks, officer! I've got the one big round one!"
*"AaAaAa! I'm the long way back from naptime!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar's response to Strong Sad's droning in the Maps and Minions game.
| While they appear to be word salads, like everything else Homsar says in the game, they mean something else. In this case, Homsar is probably telling Strong Sad that he is not afraid and is taking the King of Town ("the one big round one") back to the Castle. He also seems to know that he is talking to a law enforcement officer. Alternatively, he could be talking to Strong Bad, saying he doesn't need help and he'll keep Strong Sad (the one big round one) occupied for him. "I'm the long way back from naptime" may be a threat to knock Strong Sad out.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Here comes the yogurt patrol!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar says this when confronting Strong Mad.
| Homsar may be warning Strong Mad to watch out for him.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------valign=top
| "I left my bacon at the tennis patch."
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar says this after being defeated by Homestar.
| This sentence could possibly mean that he surrendered and left for important reasons.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "[[Pie|Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie]]!"
| [[Baddest of the Bands]] (Oct. 27, 2008)
| Homsar screams this while being electrocuted at the DOI concert.
| Homsar was in distress, and likely shouted the first thing that came to mind.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAah leave my itch machine on pause mostly!"
| [[Baddest of the Bands]] (Oct. 27, 2008)
| Homsar's response to Strong Bad asking why he's still on stage after the concert.
| The "itch machine" in question may be Homsar's theremin, as it somewhat resembles a scratching post. On a related note, "itch machine" is one of the possible things Homsar will pick for what the "I" stands for in DOI.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAah'm the Captain Caveman of the graveyard train!"
| [[Most in the Graveyard]] (Oct. 30, 2008)
| Homsar speaks this line disguised as Captain Caveman, popping out from behind a grave.
| This sentence makes perfect literal sense on its own, and is also a reference to his character video, in which he refers to himself as the "captain of the gravy train."
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "You bring the dip, I'll mow the side yard."
| [[Career Day]] (Mar. 10, 2009)
| Homsar says this when Strong Bad as Space Captainface announces to talk about his career in space travel.
| This sentence may likely refer to Homsar's reaction to Strong Bad's description of his career, similar to Strong Mad and Homestar's respective initial negative reactions to him.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Kaaaaronk there, Rubbermaid! Can you redirect me to the nearest pukevalanche?"
| Email [[dictionary]] (Sep. 1, 2009)
| Homsar is in Strong Badia, speaking to the tire while reading Strong Bad's dicionary
| He is in Strong Badia, trying to speak Strong Badian to a "local". "Pukevalanche" is a term that Strong Bad used earlier in the email, so this may very well make sense, in the context that he actually is trying to find a "pukevalanche".
|}

== Analysis and Summary ==

As shown here, there are logical arguments for almost all of Homsar's phrases. It seems that Homsar simply has an odd and somewhat indirect way of communicating with others.

There is a pattern that appears during this analysis, however: In almost every case, if there's a strong reason for Homsar to communicate a particular concept, he'll do it unerringly — one can always tell what he means. It is when he doesn't have a particularly strong reason to communicate that his speech becomes more random. For example, if he has a request ("Is that rhinoceros around?", "That's a real popular song! Who wants to hear of it fifty times more?"), his sentence relates quite clearly to the scene, and is itself perfectly valid, even if there was a much more direct way of saying it. But in his character video, his sentences are almost completely disconnected from one another, and in [[suntan]] and [[theme park]], he had no particular reason to send a message, so he seemed to just pull a random sentence out of thin air, perhaps just so he could say something.

It seems clear that while Homsar doesn't have a strong grasp on reality, he is pretty coherent most of the time, and he can relate to other characters and his surroundings when he needs to. Looking at the definition of "word salad" as given by Wikipedia, it does not appear that Homsar suffers from this disorder — at least, not much.

However, in [[Strong Badia the Free]] it is determined that Homsar's speech is actually a well-developed language, as Strong Bad is briefly able to understand it, making Homsar's speech make perfect sense. To Strong Sad, however, the two characters appear to be speaking nonsense.

''{The Ugly One is being impaled by arrows coming from the Arrow'd Guy's mouth. Her speech balloon reads "OW! my browser!"}''

==Fun Facts==
===Remarks===
*There are nine arrows sticking into The Ugly One from behind, but twelve heads are visible coming out of her front.
*When accessing [[HR:404.shtml|404.shtml]], the common file name for a 404 page by most [[Wikipedia:Web Server|web servers]], gives you an HTTP error of 403 (File Forbidden) returned by IIS, due the risk of running an [[Wikipedia:Executable|executable]] on the server.

===Goofs===
*If you get a 404 error while in a different directory (e.g. [[HR:stinkogame/|www.homestarrunner.com/stinkogame/]]) from the root directory (e.g. [[HR:stinkogame/|www.homestarrunner.com/wherethisisisit]]), the Flash files for 404'd and the navigation bar will not load. This is due to [[Wikipedia:Hyperlink|relative linking]]. That means, since the 404 page calls on the file "404error.swf", the page will look for "404error.swf" in ''that'' folder, and since the files don't exist in that folder it will not load. Since the page is using just the file name, it is assumed that the file is in the same folder as the page linking to it. An easy solution to this is pointing the error's Flash file [[Wikipedia:URL|URL]] to "<nowiki>http://www.homestarrunner.com/404error.swf</nowiki>", and the navigation bar to "<nowiki>http://www.homestarrunner.com/main_nav.swf</nowiki>" instead of plainly "404error.swf" and "main_nav.swf", respectively.

===Fixed Glitches===
*From September 25 to October 9, 2006, for unknown reasons, a 404 error wouldn't bring up this page, bringing up the stock [[Wikipedia:Internet_Information_Services|IIS]] 404 error message instead.

===Inside References===
*The image on the right of the message is a modified version of a shot from both [[comic]] and [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]], in which The Ugly One is arrow'd.
*This is another appearance of [[Lowercase i's]].

VmKid: /* The Sausage Race */ forgot to sign

== smells like dead what now? ==

can anyone tell what the last 2 words in the easter egg conversation are? -- [[User:Neumannz|Neumannz]] 06:29, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Danzut? That's the only thing I can think of, but I've never been to Turkey, so I don't know if it smells bad or not.
:It sounds like "dead-zuh" to me. Or possibly "deadzert". You know, like "dessert", only dead. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 06:38, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
::I don't know why, but I heard "tion". like air condi"tion" pronounced shun.--{{User:Crudely Drawn Cupcake/sig}} 13:16, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
::I heard "dim sum" which would correlate with Coach Z's "kimchi." ---Ransom (--[[Special:Contributions/68.123.102.158|68.123.102.158]] 02:25, 25 August 2009 (UTC))
:::My take was "desert" (vs. "dessert"), but that too doesn't make any sense. But surely there's something better than "zut." I mean, Occam's razor, amiright? [[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 14:19, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

== Ppice ==

How do we know it's a goof? Maybe Bubs ran out of r's. Don't forget the Conces5ion Stand. [[Special:Contributions/121.209.148.49|121.209.148.49]] 07:59, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
:It's clearly a cloth sign with the letters printed on. You can't "run out" in such an instance.
:On the other hand, I do agree. Perhaps move it to Remarks if TBC don't fix it within a couple days. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 08:02, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
::Maybe it was painted on. Maybe TBC deliberately did that and had Bubs "forget" the R's tail--[[User:Dollaroo|Dollaroo]] 16:46, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
:::I thought the PP was connected to P^2. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.140.243|132.183.140.243]] 17:25, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
::::I thought that too. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:56, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::I, however, think that's kind of a reach. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:44, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

==Not sure where to put this...==
Strong Bad says himself, Homestar and Coach Z are all fully grown. [[User:Strong Intelligent|SI.com!]]
:Sounds like something that could be mentioned on [[Characters' Ages]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 08:22, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

== Smoking Crayon ==

In the first scene, before Coach Z walks up, the crayon Strong Bad smokes (or pretends to smoke) is emitting smoke like a real cigaret. However, as soon as Strong Bad points out it's fake, there is no more smoke to be seen. Should this be noted as a goof, a trivia or just in the script? --[[User:Cass from Germany|Cass from Germany]] 09:52, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
:Furthermore, the crayon disappears altogether as the toon progresses even further. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 09:54, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
::Quit likely that he puts it back into hammerspace. Not sure about the smoke though --[[User:ftr|ftr]]

== The Sausage Race ==

The thing where the mascots run around the field seems to be a reference to the Miller Park (Milwaukee baseball) race where various hot dogs, sausages, etc. run a lap around the field. I'd put the reference up myself, but I don't have the time to look stuff up.
:They have mascot races at just about every baseball park. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 12:06, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
::Not at [[Wikipedia:Busch Stadium|mine]]. At least, not to my knowledge. {{User:Neox/sig}} 00:59, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
:::The only two Major League Baseball stadiums that have mascot races to the best of my knowledge (and I'm a pretty big baseball fan) are the Sausage Race at Miller Park (Milwaukee Brewers), and the President Race at Nationals Park (Washington Nationals), which, given it's a relatively new team and stadium, was clearly based on the much older Sausage Race. Both are already mentioned in the fun facts, as well. -{{User:YK/sig}} 01:17, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
::::Nonsense. There's the Dot Race (Texas Rangers), the bottle race (Tampa Bay Rays), the condiments race (no really; Kansas City Royals), the tools race (Atlanta Braves), and maybe more. Even more clubs have races on the video board only (and a lot of the live races originated in video form). I would have linked a third one, but those two Wikipedia pages are the only ones on the subject I found. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:47, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::Also, there's hot dog races at Progressive Field (Cleveland Indians) and Citi Field (New York Mets, and this one makes a lot of sense, seeing as Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs are sponsors of the Mets, along with many other teams.)--[[User:VmKid|VmKid]] 13:39, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

== the Bumbling Mascot Race Around The Field! ==

Anyone notice that strong bad doesn't close his face door thingie when they do the bumbling mascot race around the field?--{{User:Crudely Drawn Cupcake/sig}} 13:21, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
:I noticed that. Also that it changes sides whenever Strong Bad turns around so that it's always "upstage" to the viewer. And that the clown frill and tie had to be moved lower down when compared to its original appearence in [[part-time job]] so that the door thingie could fit. Don't know if any of these are quite worth mentioning on the page, though. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 13:37, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

== Kid Quote. ==

After listening closely with my Skullcandy's on, I think the kid says "mommy, I can't see" [[Special:Contributions/168.179.160.72|168.179.160.72]] 14:21, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

== "Chase" Music ==
Just so there isn't a big debate over this... the song sung while the mascots run around the field ISN'T "Yakety Sax", the theme from Benny Hill. This is a piece of music called "Bond Street" (I believe?) composed by Burt Bacharach for the 1967 version of 'Casino Royale'. As I noted in my edit, this is the same music used for Stewie's "sexy parties". -Steve
:Not even close. "Bond Street" does not sound like that; it has a slower tempo and sounds like an ersatz Bond theme (which, it is). The song in the short is clearly "Yakety Sax" (or attempt to recreate it there of). {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 15:34, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
:[[YouTube:spz8_rpE0e0|"Yakety Sax"]]
:[[YouTube:MDX5c3nXexc|Sexy party clip]] Definitely not "Bond Street" {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 15:46, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
::The melody of the two is pretty close. But different enough to count. And "Bond Street" is not the song known for "silly" chases. It's clearly "Yakety Sax". --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:02, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
:::I don't really see the resemblance to Yakety Sax. I think I've heard something that went along with this toon somewhere in the Homstar Runner Universe, actually, but it's vague, and maybe it's not Homestar Runner-related at all. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 21:15, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
::::I really don't see how there is an arguement over this. It is clearly meant to at least sound like Yakety Sax, seeing as how it is played when a bunch of characters are running around. [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 21:49, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::I definitely hear reference to "Yakety Sax" (i didn't know it was called that until today), especially in the second half of the first line and the first half of the second line. outside of that is a bit more vague, but since that is a random chase song, i think it was the intention. what really had me confused was why tbc were talking after the toon and after the easter egg. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 21:54, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
::::::I've heard this song before, it's a -version- of Yakkety Sax that's actually noticeably different from the usual version, that tends to be used more in this setting. Compare the version heard in "Close-up animals with a wide-angle lens" from South Park. Really most of the notes are different, but it progresses so similarly.

== Pickle? ==
Should we change the wording for the explanation of kimchi? I think the term "pickle" may confuse others into thinking that kimchi is a Korean cucumber even though it's actually pickled vegetables.--[[User:Dollaroo|Dollaroo]] 16:30, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
:To most people, a "pickle" means "pickled vegetables", e.g. branston pickle, picallili (spelling?) etc. I think it's clear enough as it is. -[[User:Ftr|Ftr]]
::That's not true. Pretty much everyone i know, myself included uses "pickles" to mean the cucumbered variety. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 06:27, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
:::"Pickle" meaning cucumber style is mostly North American usage (even though there are things like pickled okra etc.). Pickle meaning any pickled veg is more usual in Europe and Australia. The clarification is fine now. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 13:49, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

== Child's Voice ==
Anyone maybe got any info on where the child's voice came from? It sounds surprisingly like a real child, which would imply that the source is one of the "Little Girls," but I think it's also possible that it could have been Matt sped up. If the voice *is* someone other than Matt, that would be interesting, and would merit mentioning in the article. [[Special:Contributions/66.32.126.171|66.32.126.171]] 14:36, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
:It could possibly be Matt and missy's son
::It could possibly be any kid in the greater atlanta area. Or it could possibly be matt sped up. Or mike. Or a sound clip taken from somewhere else. There's really no way to know. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:52, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
:::They usually reveal these kinds of things in DVD commentaries. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 23:35, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
::::For the record: Matt's not married to Missy, Mike is; and Matt and Mike both have one daughter; neither of them has a son. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 23:46, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::Does it bother anyone else that we keep this close track of people's lives that we're bound to never meet?
::::::The same way everyone keeps track of anyone famous. Those are what paparazzi, tabloids, and celebrity news shows like TMZ are for! It just a part of life to know exactly what everyone else is doing!....... Yeah, it does kinda bother me.--[[User:Dollaroo|Dollaroo]] 14:54, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::::Moving back on topic, to me it sounds like they sped up Matt's voice. The quality is kinda poor, which, in my experience, always occurs whenever you speed up a sound clip. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 19:00, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
::::::::if you speed up a sound clip like that, it sounds like a [[Wikipedia:Alvin and the Chipmunks|chipmunk]]. i guess that's possible; it's really too short for me to pick up on it. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 19:11, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

== Smoker ==
* Although Strong Bad denies being a smoker, he's been seen to smoke a cigar in Store Thank You Message.
Is this necessary? My dad has smoked a cigar before, but he's not a smoker!--{{User:Crudely Drawn Cupcake/sig}} 22:45, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
: The Cheat, ANOTHER ezpensive light, please. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 23:14, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
::My experiences on the topic are: just b/c you see someone smoking once doesn't mean they're a smoker. If you see them smoking on two different occasions, then you can infer that the person is a smoker. Since we've only actually ''seen'' strong bad smoking once, my vote is '''remove'''. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 23:17, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
::: The store messages aren't the same kind of canon as toons, in my opinion. I also tend to agree with cupcake; I know lots of people (both real and fictional characters) who enjoy a cigar once in a blue moon but don't habitually smoke cigarettes. Still, I'm not sure it's not remarkable. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:21, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
::::I think it should stay. While what has been said is true, the fact as reads is also true. We're not inferring that SB is or isn't a smoker, we're just noting that he doesn't identify one while also noting that he has indeed been seen smoking at least once. -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.135|128.103.10.135]] 02:35, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
::::: He doesn't say he was a frequent smoker, just that he does. Not nessisarily meaning often. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 15:30, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
::::::Although SB dosen't blame the Squeak for the Cheating on his news years resolution. {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 23:16, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

== Um, GRAVY Go Nuts U.? ==

Am I the only one who thinks it sounds like Homestar, at the end of his Fresh Orientation, says "'''G! G!''' N! U!"? It wouldn't make any sense—aside, you know, from Homestar getting things randomly wrong—but I've been playing it back over and over and I swear the two letters sound identical. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 14:36, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
: I heard TGNU even after looking at the atricle. I guess he could be saying GGNU, but one thing is sure: he doesn't spell it right.--[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 15:30, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
::Given that we have two conflicting ideas of what he says and the fact that i hear nothing out of the ordinary, it seems clear that the first sound is just a bit hard to hear. That is far from being "sure he doesn't spell it right." Seems like people reaching for a mistake that isn't there. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:44, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

== TSquared ==

Isn't it a little suspicious that P-Squared and TSquared sound alike? Also, I learned from an interview that TSquared got his nickname from his name (Tom Taylor).
:______-squared is a common joke often used by people who don't understand how exponents work to indicate something times two. I doubt it's a reference to any one person who used that joke. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:08, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
::I think T stands for Trouble. Right here on our wiki. That's Trouble with a capital T (and that rhymes with P and that stands for Pom Pom). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:10, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

This is a piece of music called "Bond Street" (I believe?) composed by Burt Bacharach for the 1967 version of 'Casino Royale'. As I noted in my edit, this is the same music used for Stewie's "sexy parties". -Steve
:Not even close. "Bond Street" does not sound like that; it has a slower tempo and sounds like an ersatz Bond theme (which, it is). The song in the short is clearly "Yakety Sax" (or attempt to recreate it there of). {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 15:34, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
:[[YouTube:spz8_rpE0e0|"Yakety Sax"]]
:[[YouTube:MDX5c3nXexc|Sexy party clip]] Definitely not "Bond Street" {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 15:46, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
::The melody of the two is pretty close. But different enough to count. And "Bond Street" is not the song known for "silly" chases. It's clearly "Yakety Sax". --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:02, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
:::I don't really see the resemblance to Yakety Sax. I think I've heard something that went along with this toon somewhere in the Homstar Runner Universe, actually, but it's vague, and maybe it's not Homestar Runner-related at all. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 21:15, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
::::I really don't see how there is an arguement over this. It is clearly meant to at least sound like Yakety Sax, seeing as how it is played when a bunch of characters are running around. [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 21:49, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::I definitely hear reference to "Yakety Sax" (i didn't know it was called that until today), especially in the second half of the first line and the first half of the second line. outside of that is a bit more vague, but since that is a random chase song, i think it was the intention. what really had me confused was why tbc were talking after the toon and after the easter egg. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 21:54, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
::::::I've heard this song before, it's a -version- of Yakkety Sax that's actually noticeably different from the usual version, that tends to be used more in this setting. Compare the version heard in "Close-up animals with a wide-angle lens" from South Park. Really most of the notes are different, but it progresses so similarly.

== Pickle? ==
Should we change the wording for the explanation of kimchi? I think the term "pickle" may confuse others into thinking that kimchi is a Korean cucumber even though it's actually pickled vegetables.--[[User:Dollaroo|Dollaroo]] 16:30, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
:To most people, a "pickle" means "pickled vegetables", e.g. branston pickle, picallili (spelling?) etc. I think it's clear enough as it is. -[[User:Ftr|Ftr]]
::That's not true. Pretty much everyone i know, myself included uses "pickles" to mean the cucumbered variety. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 06:27, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
:::"Pickle" meaning cucumber style is mostly North American usage (even though there are things like pickled okra etc.). Pickle meaning any pickled veg is more usual in Europe and Australia. The clarification is fine now. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 13:49, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

== Child's Voice ==
Anyone maybe got any info on where the child's voice came from? It sounds surprisingly like a real child, which would imply that the source is one of the "Little Girls," but I think it's also possible that it could have been Matt sped up. If the voice *is* someone other than Matt, that would be interesting, and would merit mentioning in the article. [[Special:Contributions/66.32.126.171|66.32.126.171]] 14:36, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
:It could possibly be Matt and missy's son
::It could possibly be any kid in the greater atlanta area. Or it could possibly be matt sped up. Or mike. Or a sound clip taken from somewhere else. There's really no way to know. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:52, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
:::They usually reveal these kinds of things in DVD commentaries. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 23:35, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
::::For the record: Matt's not married to Missy, Mike is; and Matt and Mike both have one daughter; neither of them has a son. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 23:46, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::Does it bother anyone else that we keep this close track of people's lives that we're bound to never meet?
::::::The same way everyone keeps track of anyone famous. Those are what paparazzi, tabloids, and celebrity news shows like TMZ are for! It just a part of life to know exactly what everyone else is doing!....... Yeah, it does kinda bother me.--[[User:Dollaroo|Dollaroo]] 14:54, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::::Moving back on topic, to me it sounds like they sped up Matt's voice. The quality is kinda poor, which, in my experience, always occurs whenever you speed up a sound clip. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 19:00, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
::::::::if you speed up a sound clip like that, it sounds like a [[Wikipedia:Alvin and the Chipmunks|chipmunk]]. i guess that's possible; it's really too short for me to pick up on it. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 19:11, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

== Smoker ==
* Although Strong Bad denies being a smoker, he's been seen to smoke a cigar in Store Thank You Message.
Is this necessary? My dad has smoked a cigar before, but he's not a smoker!--{{User:Crudely Drawn Cupcake/sig}} 22:45, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
: The Cheat, ANOTHER ezpensive light, please. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 23:14, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
::My experiences on the topic are: just b/c you see someone smoking once doesn't mean they're a smoker. If you see them smoking on two different occasions, then you can infer that the person is a smoker. Since we've only actually ''seen'' strong bad smoking once, my vote is '''remove'''. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 23:17, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
::: The store messages aren't the same kind of canon as toons, in my opinion. I also tend to agree with cupcake; I know lots of people (both real and fictional characters) who enjoy a cigar once in a blue moon but don't habitually smoke cigarettes. Still, I'm not sure it's not remarkable. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:21, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
::::I think it should stay. While what has been said is true, the fact as reads is also true. We're not inferring that SB is or isn't a smoker, we're just noting that he doesn't identify one while also noting that he has indeed been seen smoking at least once. -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.135|128.103.10.135]] 02:35, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

== Um, GRAVY Go Nuts U.? ==

Am I the only one who thinks it sounds like Homestar, at the end of his Fresh Orientation, says "'''G! G!''' N! U!"? It wouldn't make any sense—aside, you know, from Homestar getting things randomly wrong—but I've been playing it back over and over and I swear the two letters sound identical. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 14:36, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
: I heard TGNU even after looking at the atricle. I guess he could be saying GGNU, but one thing is sure: he doesn't spell it right.--[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 15:30, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
::Given that we have two conflicting ideas of what he says and the fact that i hear nothing out of the ordinary, it seems clear that the first sound is just a bit hard to hear. That is far from being "sure he doesn't spell it right." Seems like people reaching for a mistake that isn't there. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:44, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

== TSquared ==

Isn't it a little suspicious that P-Squared and TSquared sound alike? Also, I learned from an interview that TSquared got his nickname from his name (Tom Taylor).
:______-squared is a common joke often used by people who don't understand how exponents work to indicate something times two. I doubt it's a reference to any one person who used that joke. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:08, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
::I think T stands for Trouble. Right here on our wiki. That's Trouble with a capital T (and that rhymes with P and that stands for Pom Pom). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:10, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

== Fun Facts ==
*This is the first appearance of [[Coach Z]], [[Bubs]] and [[the Umpire]].
*Coach Z's name is spelled "Coach Zee".
*This is one of the few times Homestar is seen drinking [[Cold One|cold ones]]. He also has one in [[Theme Song Video]] and [[Summer Short Shorts]].
*In the old version, on the image with Bubs, the page URL is hs1x, whereas the others are hs1, hs2, hs3, etc. The Brothers Chaps may have forgotten to put it in, which is why it didn't follow the order, and clicking 'back' from hs14 took you to hs13 rather than hs1x, as it should have. This has since been fixed in the new version made on February 14, 2006, found in the [[museum]].
*In the old version there were buttons for 'next' on the last image, and 'back' on the first image. Those would take you to cartoons.html, which was [[404'd]]. This has also since been corrected in the new version made on February 14, 2006.
*This is the first appearance of [[kicking a can]].
*This is the first instance of a [[non-inverted question]].

==Fast Forward==
* In 2009, the book was made into a [[Where My Hat Is At (toon)|flash cartoon]].

== DVD Version ==
*The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
*The book is read out loud now.
*Instead of the images being fullscreen, the book is now presented in a similar fashion to [[kids' book]], with music from [[pop-up]] playing.

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

'''MATT:''' Look, Mike, it's an old book! How many times do you think I say something about, "Look Mike", or "Hi Mike", or "Hey Mike" at the beginning at a commentary?

'''MIKE:''' All of them. This is the last bit of Homestar Runner-ery before the website.

'''MATT:''' That's right. This was done on Mike's old Free Country, USA website.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, this is just a HTML page click-through story book. Mindspring.com... what was your old...

'''MATT:''' Tilda Mic-Chat?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, yeah. So, for some reason the "post box" and the "auto" is basically British. Old Homestar sort of had this weird Japanese feel, and then he went through this weird British phase.

''{both laugh}''

'''MIKE:''' And this is the uh... when Bubs and Coach Z, their first appearance.

'''MATT:''' De-butt.

'''MIKE:''' De-butt. And the umpire, too. Who, uh...

''{Matt laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Who we forgot to make that Easter egg! We were going to put the Umpire in an Easter egg in the last email we made.

'''MIKE:''' You'll never hear from him again now! That was his one chance!

'''MATT:''' I like the weird shadow of the can. The wind from the can flying. The motion lines.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' That's a nice fridge.

'''MIKE:''' Well... well, thanks.

'''MATT:''' I want to punch this narrator, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' That's you, Matt. He's really...

'''MATT:''' I don't like him. He's very soft-spoken. He's pandering. I feel like if I was a child I would be insulted by him. Like, "This guy thinks I'm an idiot! I need to be handled with kid gloves." Say something else, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Eh...

'''MATT:''' What do you think of your style? Were you... you know, kind of "loosely fill in..."

'''MIKE:''' Go outside the lines?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, like they tell you not to do!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. I was breaking all the rules with this one. ''{"The End" shows up on the screen}'' I agree.

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

== Fun Facts ==
*This is the first appearance of [[Coach Z]], [[Bubs]] and [[the Umpire]].
*Coach Z's name is spelled "Coach Zee".
*This is one of the few times Homestar is seen drinking [[Cold One|cold ones]]. He also has one in [[Theme Song Video]] and [[Summer Short Shorts]].
*In the old version, on the image with Bubs, the page URL is hs1x, whereas the others are hs1, hs2, hs3, etc. The Brothers Chaps may have forgotten to put it in, which is why it didn't follow the order, and clicking 'back' from hs14 took you to hs13 rather than hs1x, as it should have. This has since been fixed in the new version made on February 14, 2006, found in the [[museum]].
*In the old version there were buttons for 'next' on the last image, and 'back' on the first image. Those would take you to cartoons.html, which was [[404'd]]. This has also since been corrected in the new version made on February 14, 2006.
*This is the first appearance of [[kicking a can]].
*This is the first instance of a [[non-inverted question]].

== DVD Version ==
*The DVD version features creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
*The book is read out loud now.
*Instead of the images being fullscreen, the book is now presented in a similar fashion to [[kids' book]], with music from [[pop-up]] playing.

==Fast Forward==
* In 2009, the book was made into a [[Where My Hat Is At (toon)|flash cartoon]].

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

'''MATT:''' Look, Mike, it's an old book! How many times do you think I say something about, "Look Mike", or "Hi Mike", or "Hey Mike" at the beginning at a commentary?

'''MIKE:''' All of them. This is the last bit of Homestar Runner-ery before the website.

'''MATT:''' That's right. This was done on Mike's old Free Country, USA website.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, this is just a HTML page click-through story book. Mindspring.com... what was your old...

'''MATT:''' Tilda Mic-Chat?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, yeah. So, for some reason the "post box" and the "auto" is basically British. Old Homestar sort of had this weird Japanese feel, and then he went through this weird British phase.

''{both laugh}''

'''MIKE:''' And this is the uh... when Bubs and Coach Z, their first appearance.

'''MATT:''' De-butt.

'''MIKE:''' De-butt. And the umpire, too. Who, uh...

''{Matt laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Who we forgot to make that Easter egg! We were going to put the Umpire in an Easter egg in the last email we made.

'''MIKE:''' You'll never hear from him again now! That was his one chance!

'''MATT:''' I like the weird shadow of the can. The wind from the can flying. The motion lines.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' That's a nice fridge.

'''MIKE:''' Well... well, thanks.

'''MATT:''' I want to punch this narrator, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' That's you, Matt. He's really...

'''MATT:''' I don't like him. He's very soft-spoken. He's pandering. I feel like if I was a child I would be insulted by him. Like, "This guy thinks I'm an idiot! I need to be handled with kid gloves." Say something else, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Eh...

'''MATT:''' What do you think of your style? Were you... you know, kind of "loosely fill in..."

'''MIKE:''' Go outside the lines?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, like they tell you not to do!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. I was breaking all the rules with this one. ''{"The End" shows up on the screen}'' I agree.

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

{{noname|a simple description|paper}}

The '''Virtual Paper''' is a pop-up bubble reading "click to email strongbad" that serves as a built-in paper with the [[Compé]], though does not appear on the Compé itself, and overlays all elements of the cartoon. In email [[independent]], this "paper" appeared at the end, much to [[Strong Bad]]'s delight, automatically. Strong Bad then customised Virtual Paper's pop-up noise to match [[The Paper]]'s old "[[Preeow]]" noise. Unlike the previous papers, it comes up from the bottom left of the screen, apposed to fromn the top. It also contains the "back" button which previously was shown on the computer monitor.

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

'''Page Title:''' Compy Compé

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Clears screen}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Cut back to the Compé}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' —but just switch out any mention of the word "space" ''{The text "space," moves slightly upwards and out of place.}'' with the word, "small factory town", ''{As he says this, the words appear in sync, and in the hand-drawn style seen earlier.}'' replace "aliens" ''{The word "aliens" wiggles.}'' with "quirky, dysfunctional family", ''{The text is replaced in the same manner as before. Dysfunctional is hyphenated. The poster, which is masked, begins to fade into a different poster.}'' And replace "voyage" ''{The text "voyage" moves to the right and off screen.}'' with "journey". ''{The text "journey." appears in a typewriter effect.}''

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

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

''{Cut to an advertisement for "because, as it were" on paper, stapled to a pole. The camera continues to zoom in on the paper:}''

<blockquote style="text-align:center;">
join us for an 
'''ART HOUSE''' 
'''OPENING''' 
(Shot of because, as it were) 
'''one showing 8PM''' 
followed by director 
whining
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Once finished, Strong Sad's independent film will enjoy a small, art house opening.

''{Cut to a zoom out of Strong Sad, who is two the right of the pole.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' You forgot the apostrophe s! This film is opening at this guy called ''Art's'' ''{Cut back to the paper. The paper is corrected in red, but no pen visible.}'' house!

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

'''STRONG SAD:''' He's got like ''three'' couches! ''{In an excited tone, he bends his right arm at an angle and moves it back and forth }'' Out-a-sight!

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

''{Cut to a shot of the movie theater line as seen in [[the movies]], with the camera slowly panning left. From left to right, Marzipan, Strong Mad, Bubs, and Coach Z are in a line for city (comma) state. city (comma) state is taking up both of the poster holders in view. Senor Cardgage is shown as the usher.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pom Pom's little movie that could, opens on 2,000 screens the first weekend, expanding to 10,000 the next.

''{Cut to Strong Bad and The Cheat (who has popcorn), in the theater. They appear to be the only ones in the theater at this time}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And wouldn'tcha know it? This movie was ''{Moving is head around}'' ''sooo'' cheap to make, that he still has money left over to take out—

''{Strong Bad pulls up a piece of paper labeled as the "Local Trade Papes" with the slogan "For your considerasche". The poster for city (comma) state is the only thing on the front page, and under is the text "Best Indie Film".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —full page ads in all the local trade papers during award season! ''{Puts paper away and stares down.}'' That movie is all heart. ''{Wipes is boxing glove on his face, as if he was wiping his nose after holding up tears.}''

''{Cut back to the Compé.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' There you have it, Evil Jeff. The difference between a hideous growth on my butt, and a ''profitable'' hideous growth on my butt. I know you wanted us to have some film festival with all the characters, and you'd get to see little bits of everybody's movies, but I didn't do that. ''{He pauses, and says this scornfully.}'' Because I hate you. OOOoooooooo!! Now who's evil! Forget GIFs ''{Types ".gifs".}'', man. I'm an evil tif ''{Types ".tif".}''! Or maybe an evil 24-bit ping ''{Types ".png".}'' with alpha channel. Or maybe an evil ''{Speaking as if confused.}'' targa ''{Pauses.}'' file? Whatever those are.

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

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

''{The bubble retracts, and pops-up again with a compressed version of the [[Preeeeow]] sound of [[The Paper]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''That's'' what I'm talking about!

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on "OOOoooooooo!" to see the poster and tagline of cyber.coma.static.
*:''{the poster slowly zooms in}''
*:'''NARRATOR:''' In the dead of space... dealing with aliens is the ''easiest'' part of the voyage.
*Also, click on the first "hideous growth on my butt" to see a filming session with Homestar and Strong Sad.
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{slowly}'' I just... don't think I can handle... eating this... asparagus. ''{holds up a limp-looking piece of asparagus}''
*:'''STRONG SAD:''' Cut, cut!
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angrily}'' What was wrong with that take? I mean, whaddya expect for two pinks and a green? ''{holds up Monopoly money}'' I'm not... Bernardo Ralph Shawn, you know. Sounds like he'd be some type of famous actor.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Graphics Interchange Format|.gif]], [[Wikipedia:Tagged Image File Format|.tif]], [[Wikipedia:Portable Network Graphics|.png]] and [[Wikipedia:Truevision TGA|targa]] are all [[Wikipedia:Raster graphics|raster]] image file formats.
*Being [http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071115203232AArJsnA "paid to scale"] means you receive a set wage decided by a "pay scale".

===Remarks===
*The Monopoly Money that Homestar Runner is given is the incorrect color. In actuality, pink is for $5 bills, and green is for $20 bills.
*Pom Pom's name is misspelled as "Pom-Pom" on his chair.
*The back button goes to the toons menu instead of the email menu.

===Goofs===
*When [[The Cheat]] walks up the first time, and the camera zooms out, the sbemail.exe icon disappears.
*When Strong Bad types "I am, of course talking about...", he leaves out a comma after "of course".

===Fixed Goofs===
*When Strong Bad said, "Pom Pom on the other hand", he failed to type "the". This was fixed later after release.

===Inside References===
* Strong Bad has a picture of his [[big butt]] for the wallpaper.
* The Email icon resembles the photo of Strong Bad that appears on [[new paper]]

Lappy 486

2009-08-08T15:19:56Z

VmKid: /* The End Of The Lappy 486 */ Fixin' a typo.

[[Image:sbemail119.PNG|thumb|"Now ''that'' is a classy start-up noise!"]]
[[Image:Lappy logo.PNG|thumb|The Lappy's logo.]]

The '''Lappy 486''' was [[Strong Bad]]'s third computer, manufactured by [[Compy, Inc]]. It utilized a more modern [[Strong Bad Email|email]] client that included a subject line, a reply panel, and the following easy-access buttons: Reply, Forward, Delete, Save, Computer, and Image. (Delete, Save, Computer, and Image are usually hidden behind Strong Bad's head.) However, all of it would disappear after Strong Bad would clear the screen to continue typing.

The Lappy seems to have been Strong Bad's favorite computer to date, as evidenced by how highly he speaks of it in [[animal]]. Strong Bad describes its startup noise as "classy" (though his attempt to repeat it is out of tune).

In [[animal]], it is revealed that the Lappy is male, as Strong Bad says, "Let's see if this bad boy can check some emails," and tells [[The Paper]] to "come and meet [his] new brother". Despite this, the Lappy tends to appear in [[#Female Lappy 486|female form]] much more often.

In addition to the usual [[DELETED!]] feature, the Lappy could also flash a "DO OVER!!" screen with an explosion effect, as seen in [[do over]].

Despite its excessive weight, Strong Bad has been seen carrying it on various occasions.

The Lappy met its demise at the end of [[hremail3184]] when Strong Bad preemptively blew it up with a USB self-destruct button, after checking his first email in more than half a year. It was replaced with the [[Corpy NT6]] for the email [[imaginary]].

According to [[Compy Catalog]], it comes in five different colors, including Neon Tan, Gray Passion, Rodeo Beige, Italian Same, and Glittery Taupe.

==Quick Facts==
[[Image:Lappybackside.png|right|thumb|The back of the Lappy 486 from [[isp]].]]
'''Debut:''' First seen in "[[animal]]." First mentioned by [[The Brothers Chaps]] in the "[[invisibility]]" [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]] commentary.

'''Interactive Feature:''' Clicking on the Lappy's screen simulates the effect seen on LCD Monitors: applied force bends the polarizing filter for the display within the immediate vicinity of the force, causing varying distortions of light and dark. Whenever the Lappy 486 was seen in an email or toon, the screen could be clicked to get the effect that is similar on most LCD flat panel monitors. The circle matches the color of what is in the reflection (i.e. red for Strong Bad's head, green for Strong Bad's eyes, etc.). If you hold the mouse button or move it slightly while clicking the Lappy's screen, the effect won't move with the mouse; it will go away if you leave its circle of effect. This was also Strong Bad's first computer without contrast buttons, besides the Polish [[Block]].

'''Operating System:''' In an interview with Strong Bad on [[The Screen Savers Interview - 24 Jan 2005|The Screen Savers]], Strong Bad states that his computer runs on an operating system known as "2S-point-Cynics 5, The Upgrade". The spelling of this was guessed, so it is not completely accurate.

'''Font:''' [[Fonts#Glitch0|Glitch0]]

'''[[Wikipedia:Aspect ratio (image)|Screen Ratio]]:''' 1.67:1 (width:height) or 5:3, as opposed to a normal screen of 1.3:1 (4:3), a high-definition screen of 1.78:1 (16:9), and a widescreen of 1.85:1.

'''Emails checked on the computer:''' 83 

==Features==
[[Image:Strong Bad Email 119.png|right|thumb|The Lappy 486's horribly outdated features.]]
*42 pounds!! (19 kilograms—"Extremely portable" according to Strong Bad in [[animal]]; he later describes it as "allegedly portable" in [[technology]].)
*2MB Hard Drive! (Later said to be 5MB, as of [[retirement]])
*"Several" Color Monitor
*Warning: Five Minute Battery Life (Strong Bad said it is "One half of ten minutes"—evidence shown in [[part-time job]])
**In [[Homestar Ruiner]] and [[Strong Badia the Free]], Strong Bad claims the Lappy's battery takes five to seven business days to fully charge ("The Lappy don't charge on weekends.")
*512K RAM (0.5 MB)
*"Finally, a computer for your lap!"—Compy
*Although never mentioned, the Lappy may have supported a wireless internet connection. In [[part-time job]], [[isp]], [[Comic Book Movie]], [[Happy Dethemberween]], [[licensed]], [[rated]], [[your edge]], and [[email thunder]], it can be seen that Strong Bad does not use the Lappy's Ethernet socket.
*In the email [[environment]], claims made about the Lappy include:
**Every time the "enter" key is pressed, everyone else in town will temporarily lose electricity.
**When the Lappy runs on battery power, 45 acres of rainforest are burned to the ground.
*An "Undelete" feature, shown in [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]].

==Colors==
[[Image:lappyemail.png|right|thumb|Lappy 486's email client.]]
The screen boasts "several" colors in the email [[animal]]. The number of colors present suggest that the Lappy 486 uses at least a VGA display.

==Programs==
[[Image:sbemail lappy2.png|right|thumb|Strong Bad checks his email.]]
Some of the programs Strong Bad has on the Lappy 486, most of which are started by typing the filename only after the prompt:

*'''strongbad_email.exe''' — (Used in emails 119-201 except for [[secret identity|email 142 (secret identity)]] (see below), [[retirement|email 159 (retirement)]], which had two emails checked on the Tandy and the Compy, and [[from work|email 169 (from work)]] which was checked on the [[Corpy NT6]].)
*'''run "Edga Jr."''' ([[long pants]]) — filters emails with indents
*'''run "webcam"''' ([[death metal]]) — initiates live video chat with [[Larry Palaroncini]]
*'''strongbad_email.wad''' ([[secret identity]]) — Strong Bad inexplicably types this to access his email (DOS usually does not recognize WAD files as executables).
*'''screen_savior.exe''' ([[technology]]) — runs an infinitely repeating 3D Maze screensaver with poor graphics
*'''Edgar's Baby's Daddy''' (filename unknown) ([[candy product]]) — Filters emails from [[Homestar Runner]]
*'''karatecar.exe''' ([[the movies]]) — an [[ASCII art]] movie played on the Lappy's screen
*'''strongbad3Dtotal.wad''' ([[SBCG4AP Advertisement]]) — A simple 3D game featuring Strong Bad and Homestar.
*Some type of voice synthesizer.
*'''CG4AP101.wad''' ([[Homestar Ruiner]]'s Wii Channel) — displays the logo for Homestar Ruiner, and flashes up a "PRESS START" notice after a couple of seconds. Presumably also used for Strong Bad to run the game.
*'''other_gems.exe''' and '''more_other_gems.exe''' ([[being mean]]) — displays other emails this email's sender, Nice Dad, has sent.
*'''CG4AP102.wad''' ([[Strong Badia the Free]]'s Wii Channel) — displays the logo for Strong Badia the Free, and flashes up a "PRESS START" notice after a couple of seconds. Presumably also used for Strong Bad to run the game.
*'''CG4AP103.wad''' ([[Baddest of the Bands]]' Wii Channel) — displays the logo for Baddest of the Bands, and flashes up a "PRESS START" notice after a couple of seconds. Presumably also used for Strong Bad to run the game.
*'''CG4AP104.wad''' ([[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]]'s Wii Channel) — displays the logo for Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective, and flashes up a "PRESS START" notice after a couple of seconds. Presumably also used for Strong Bad to run the game.
*'''CG4AP105.wad''' ([[8-Bit is Enough]]'s Wii Channel) — displays the logo for 8-Bit is Enough, and flashes up a "PRESS START" notice after a couple of seconds. Presumably also used for Strong Bad to run the game.

==The Real Computer==
[[Image:Real-Live E-Mails_Disc4.JPG|thumb|The "real" Lappy, as seen in [[Real-Live E-Mails]].]]
The 486 was actually a [[Wikipedia:Intel 80486|real processor made by Intel]]. It was quite similar to the 386 processor from a software standpoint, but was considerably faster.

The Lappy seems to be inspired by the [http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=1005 Mac Portable], a 16-pound transportable Macintosh that sold poorly.

The "real" Lappy (pictured) is an old [[Wikipedia:Compaq LTE|Compaq LTE series laptop]].

The Lappy 486's prompt, a closing square bracket, was also used by the Apple II series of computers, although MS-DOS could be configured to produce this prompt.

==Lappy-napping==
[[Image:Computers in harmony.png|thumb|"I coulda sworn one of you guys liked hushpuppies."]]
At the end of [[cliffhangers]], the Lappy was stolen. The perpetrators left behind a ransom note stating "i got your Lappy" along with the Lappy's severed "toe" (the "< ," key). After searching for his missing computer in [[Lappynapped!]], Strong Bad discovered that the [[Tandy 400]] and the [[Compy 386]], or what was left of them, had kidnapped the Lappy so that he would answer one last email on each of them. Strong Bad answered the Tandy's and the Compy's last emails in [[retirement]], and in the process destroyed both of them and retrieved the Lappy. Strong Bad took his favorite "portable" computer out to get hushpuppies with the restored, at-peace ghosts of the two other computers and [[The Paper]] following along in harmony.

==Female Lappy 486==
[[Image:female_lappy_486.png|thumb|Strong Bad's looking prooty hot.]]
The Female Lappy 486 appears in Strong Bad's dream email in [[dreamail]]. She's basically the Lappy 486 logo with blonde hair and makeup. She appears when Strong Bad starts up the Lappy, telling him that he's "looking prooty hot". Female Lappy 486 fawns over Strong Bad for his reply to an e-mail ("Well played, Strong Bad. Those ladies are sure to be [[all up ons]]."). After Strong Bad flies away at the end of the e-mail, she appears in an Easter egg, telling Strong Bad not to fly, that's she's worried about him, and that she can see the strings which are holding him above ground. Apparently, she seems to rely on Strong Bad.

The monitor of Female Lappy 486 is bordered with a gold chain bearing the phrase, "MY LAPPY ATE YOUR DOG" inscribed on top.

It has since then appeared on the normal Lappy, suggesting that it is an actual feature of it.

Female Lappy 486 frequently makes [[Malapropisms|spelling]] and [[Deliberately poor English|grammar]] mistakes, such as "prooty hot", "one unread messages", "is understairs", "I'm hate hushpuppies", and "tell whim I love", and speaks with a voice that sounds somewhat like a computer [[Wikipedia:Speech synthesis|speech synthesizer]].

==Takeover By The King of Town==
In [[Strong Badia the Free]], after [[the King of Town]] succeeds in tricking Strong Bad into taking his [[The King of Town's castle|castle]], he uses the Lappy to check his very own emails. His email show becomes quite popular and, according to [[Strong Sad]], [[Wikipedia:Fark.com|Fark.com]] links to him every single week. Strong Bad is infuriated by this, especially after the King neglects to make fun of an email sender's name.

After finding out the King's plan, Strong Bad sends a tax via email on Creamy Ding Snack Cakes, causing an outraged King to abandon the Lappy and prepare to take his castle back. It works and the Lappy returned to Strong Bad's possession.

==The End Of The Lappy 486==
[[File:lappysplosion.PNG|thumb|The Lappy goeth into the NIIIIGHTT!]]
In [[hremail3184]], Strong Bad finally comes out of retirement to check his e-mail again. He attempts to replace it/her with a steak sandwich, claiming it to be a computer. This attempt fails, and he allows the Lappy to live another week at least. Strong Bad goes back on his promise, as when asked what was the coolest explosion he ever saw, he revealed that the coolest explosions have come from his computers. To that end, he rigged up a USB Self-Destruct Button to the Lappy 486 and triggered it, causing an explosion, and ending the existence of the Lappy.

==Fun Facts==

===Trivia===
*Although this cartoon was uploaded on the 5th of July, 2009, the main page stated that it had been updated on the 6th.
*There are a total of 101 loading screens shown, plus the "totally loaded" ending statement.

*This toon has a higher [[Audio Quality]] than normal.
*This toon marks another [[Fourth Wall Break]].
*Coach Z's accent and speech impediment are less obvious in this cartoon.
*This is the first time Coach Z exhibits any actual free styling skills.

{{noname|what the puppet called himself|character}}
'''The Exact Same''' is a puppet that looks like [[Homestar Runner]]. In [[Main Page 25]], he apparently thought that he was the exact same as Homestar.

He looks similar to Homestar, but he has a flatter hat (with no propeller), is more tubelike, has a smaller head and underbite, and rounder eyes. His voice, also nothing like that of Homestar, has a plain, stressed male tone, done by [[Mike Chapman]]. He does not move his mouth when he speaks.

User:DorianGray/Analysis of Homsar's Speech Patterns

2009-07-05T15:35:05Z

VmKid: /* Homsar's Speech in Chronological Order */

'''Homsar's speech patterns''' are quite unusual, and many believe that his strange way of speaking is the result of a mental disorder such as [[Wikipedia:Word salad (mental health)|word salad]], a condition in which sentence structure and grammar are intact, but individual words are picked at random and have no particular meaning. This article pulls together all of the things [[Homsar]] has said since his introduction in the [[Homestar Runner universe]], identifies the context of each line, and determines whether or not the line qualifies as a word salad.

== Homsar's Speech in Chronological Order ==

{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 width="100%" style="border-collapse:collapse"
|-------------------------------------------------- bgcolor=#eeeeee
! Quote !! Toon !! Context !! Comments
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Uhdyeah, what ees it, Strong Bayaad?"
| Email [[homsar]] (2001)
| Responding to [[Strong Bad]], who had just gotten his attention.
| This is a simple greeting.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "DaAAahhh, hello, [[Marzipan|Marzypa-yun]]. It's Homsar! Dahhh, I was just calling to thank you for the flowers you sent me while I was in the hospital. Daahh, I'm feeling much better now, but I still can't feel my leeegs. Okay, bye-dee-bye."
| [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0]] (October 15,2001)
| Homsar has presumably recovered from having the [[Heavy Lourde]] dropped on him.
| Homsar speaks in basically perfect (if exaggerated) English in this message.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for some candy today!"
*"YaAaAaAh, I'm the original ladies' man!"
*"If you give me a treat, make sure that it's sweet, and I'll eeeat iiiiiit..."
*"Oh no, I think this is my favorite!"
| [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] (Oct. 27, 2001)
| Homsar's intro, and then his lines after being handed Shavin' Creem, black and orange taffy, and a wrench, respectively.
| His intro is a paraphrasing of the catch phrase of [[Wikipedia:J. Wellington Wimpy|Wimpy]], the character from the [[Wikipedia:Popeye|Popeye]] cartoons (who he is dressed as), namely "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today." His responses to the treats are strange, but not completely random.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"Oh no! You shanked my Jengaship!"
*"AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Hey, Tubbs! I just lost my Jengajam."
| [[Where's The Cheat?]] (Feb. 25, 2002)
| Homsar is playing Connect Four with [[Strong Sad]], then speaks to [[Bubs]] when he enters the room.
| Homsar's line does reference two games, although not the one he is actually playing, Connect Four, as Strong Sad observes. He doesn't quite get Bubs' name right.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAaAaAaAaA!!! I'm saving the best for last!"
| Email [[your friends]] (Oct. 14, 2002)
| During the montage, Strong Bad buries Homsar and covers him with scorpions, which begin to crawl into his mouth.
| It is debatable whether Homsar's phrase has any connection to his predicament. If it is connected, it would seem to imply that he enjoys eating scorpions.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
* "I'm the ghost of Christmas past."
* "And also with you."
| [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] (Oct. 29, 2002)
| [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] and [[The Cheat]] walk up to Homsar, whose "pumpkin" is an eggplant with a spoon taped to it.
| Homsar's first response references ''A Christmas Carol'', while his second line is a common response in many religious prayers. He could be angry at Homestar, saying that he should have last place too. Both have some connection to the scene, and neither one is a word salad.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "When can we start the Jeffersons?"
| [[Strong Sad's Lament]] (Nov. 18, 2002)
| Strong Sad mentions in his journal this was all Homsar said to him that day.
| The context is unknown. Perhaps he was commenting on how boring Strong Sad is, and expressing his desire to do something else.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Nowowowow, this is the thrill of a lifetime."
| [[Happy T!]] (Nov. 28, 2002)
| This Easter egg was found by clicking on the bottom-right corner of the page.
| The other characters all said some variation of "Happy T!", but Homsar's line could still be construed to make some sense.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I do what I'm told..."
| Email [[dragon]] (Jan. 13, 2003)
| Strong Bad had just told him to get out of his house.
| Coherent given the situation.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Hey Reggie! Is that rhinoceros around?"
*"I'm a song from the sixties."
| Email [[interview]] (Feb. 10, 2003)
| These are Homsar's actual lines in this email. The other "lines" were spoken by Strong Bad.
| Homsar's first line is peculiar, but it makes enough sense that Strong Bad, as well as the viewer, can figure out that he's referring to Strong Sad. The second line is a comedic repetition of one of Strong Bad's lines.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| '''[[Toons]]:''' "ToOoOoOons!" '''[[Games]]:''' "James!" '''[[Characters]]:''' "[[Wikipedia:Kelsey Grammer|Kelsey Grammer]]!" '''[[Downloads]]:''' "Thank youuuuu." '''[[Store]]:''' "Legitimate business." '''[[Email]]:''' "AaAaAaAaAaAaA!"
| [[Homsar Main Page]] (Feb. 10, 2003)
|Homsar provides unique ways of reading the buttons.
|
*Toons: merely exaggerated pronunciation.
*Games: merely mispronounced.
*Characters: Kelsey Grammer is an actor, so it fits.
*Downloads: he could be giving thanks for receiving a download.
*Store: He is implying that the store is a "legitimate business".
*Email: He is obviously dizzy, as the area is swirling.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AAAaaaAAAaaa-I'm just in time for the murder mystery!"
| Email [[suntan]] (Jun. 16, 2003)
| A "Celebrity(?) Testimonial" of Strong Bad's Ab-Abber 2000. Homsar had used it to draw a calculator with the word "SALAd" on his shirt.
| Homsar's line does not make sense in this scene, but the sentence itself is coherent.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Hi, Wonder Mike! I'm Homsar! The captain of the gravy train. Climb aboard! '''I've brought my best foot flowered... Pshoooo!''' Sure beats breaking up with me. Don't look now! I'm just a friendly reminder. AaAaAaAaAaAaA! AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Think I won the Powerball."
| [[Homsar#Character Video Transcript|Homsar's Character Video]] (Jul. 14, 2003)
| Homsar introduces himself.
| "I've brought my best foot flowered", if taken at face value, is a prime example of a word salad — the sentence makes no sense either in context or by itself, and yet is still syntactically valid. However, Homsar might have meant to say "forward" instead of "flowered", which would make the sentence make much more sense. The rest of Homsar's video is made up of coherent but disconnected sentences that each make sense by themselves. If there were such a thing as a "sentence salad", this would be it. It is possible, however, that he simply wasn't sure what he should be saying.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm crying on the inside..."
| Email [[impression]] (Aug. 25, 2003)
| Homsar had just been disqualified from the Strong Sad Lookalike Contest because he was mistaken for Strong Sad.
| This line makes sense for two reasons: It's something Strong Sad would likely say, and Homsar himself may have been sad that he was disqualified.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAa! I'm open for interpretation!"
| [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]] (Oct. 29, 2003)
| Homsar's secret costume, Slash from Guns N' Roses.
| Could be reinterpreted as "What do you think of my costume?" In addition, this could be a reference to whether his sudden appearance in the cartoon has any significance to the story.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "You gotta get yours, I gotta get mine."
| Email [[army]] (Jan. 5, 2004)
| Responding to Homestar's call to action for the [[Homestarmy]].
| This line makes some sense in this context — it could be construed that Homsar really is in the Homestarmy for personal reasons.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm forever your girl."
| Email [[different town]] (Feb. 23, 2004)
| Spoken as [[Different Town Character Variations|Modestly Hot Homsar]]. It should be noted that this took place in Strong Bad's imagination.
| This phrase makes perfect sense, considering that Homsar was just transformed into a female figure.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "It's time for tasteball!"
| Email [[theme park]] (May 25, 2004)
| Giving information to Homestar Runner.
| This one is a close call. On the one hand, the viewer is left wondering exactly what tasteball is, but Homestar replies with "Oh crap, it's tasteball already?", indicating that it was not unexpected for Homsar to say that. Tasteball could presumably be one of their duties as mascots. On the other hand, Homsar's line may qualify as a true word salad, and Homestar's reply could just be a typical clueless reaction. As they are working at a theme park, Homsar could also be referring to amusement parks' tendencies to create unique games for their customers.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"DaAaAaA! I'm a trendy tote bag!"
*"I'm not gonna lie to you, that's a healthy piece of real estate!"
*"That's a real popular song! Who wants to hear of it fifty times more?"
| Email [[for kids]] (Aug. 9, 2004)
| Homsar on his kids' show, ''[[Whaddaya Know, Haddi-Man?]]''
| "I'm a trendy tote bag" makes some sense in context, because Homsar is appearing on a public television show, and tote bags are among the most common free gifts given by public television stations in pledge drives. His line about real estate (referring to the letter G) makes a small amount of sense in context. His last line is strongly connected to the scene, in which they had just finished singing "Stave It Off, 1-2-3".
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I blew it, man. I lose my touch."
| [[Halloween Fairstival]] (Oct. 29, 2004)
| This was a line spoken by Kumar from ''Bottle Rocket'', which was Homsar's costume.
| This makes sense because he's quoting the character upon which his costume is based.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"Alms for the pudgy! Alms for the pudgy."
*"You're a real state trooper."
| [[Homestar Presents: Presents]] (Dec. 20, 2004)
| Homsar is running a donation station, and Homestar stops by, spits in the donation can, then leaves again.
| Homsar's first line is a take on "Alms for the poor", a common greeting for beggars, panhandlers, and donation takers. The second line is an odd way of saying "thanks". Both make sense.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm the human wedgie."
| Email [[origins]] (Jan. 31, 2005)
| Homsar was glued to Marzipan as a prank.
| This line seems to indicate that Homsar is aware of his predicament, but it doesn't really relate all that well. However, "The Human (noun)" is a pretty common way to describe one's self performing the function of an inanimate object — for example, "The Human Cannonball" — and this could be akin to his calling himself "The Human Prank".
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Caramel corn for president, please."
| Email [[rampage]] (Apr. 11, 2005)
| Homsar gives "praise" to Strong Sad at his Poetry Slam.
| As praise, this sentence makes little sense. On its own, it also doesn't make much sense, though it is fairly close to "Kernel/Colonel Corn", which is a common joke. It may be a stretch to call this a word salad.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm just me, can't you see? I'm just a silly little bumblebee."
| Email [[record book]] (Jul. 25, 2005)
| Sung while jumping up and down on one foot with nine pieces of chewing gum on his face. Coach Z did the same thing moments before in order to win a record, but Strong Bad told him that there were no records for something that no one else would ever do.
| There are two possible explanations for this. The more likely explanation is that Homsar actually does jump up and down on one foot with nine pieces of chewing gum on his face while singing the "I'm Just Me" song on a regular basis, which is ironic, since Strong Bad had just said that no one else would ever do that. The other is that Homsar is mimicking Coach Z, although this is not nearly as likely, as it isn't nearly as bizarre as the former explanation, and is therefore incongruous with Homsar's character.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"AaA, get consummate."
*"I'm pleasant!"
| [[Rock_Opera_(karaoke)#Easter_Eggs|Karaoke version of "Rock Opera" (alternate take)]] (Jul. 25, 2005)
| Sung as part of the alternate take on Strong Bad's rock opera, whose lyrics consists of one word from each of his then-125 emails.
| These quotes make perfect sense because both phrases refer to the words representing the emails [[japanese cartoon]] and [[dragon]], and [[crying]] and [[for kids]], respectively, in the actual email.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Location, location, location!"
| [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]] (Nov. 1, 2005)
| Homsar dresses up as Tingle from the Legend of Zelda series. He says this after Homestar rejects his "choices".
| Homsar's quote here is a common phrase used in real estate (the three most important things). It does make some sense when paired with his costume, as [[Wikipedia:Tingle|Tingle]] sold maps to Link in his debut in [[Wikipedia:Majora's Mask|Majora's Mask]].
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Let's sing a song of Pennzoil!"
| [[Fall Float Parade]] (Nov. 21, 2005)
| Two Homsars drive through the parade.
| Could be construed as a product endorsement, or as a humorous reference to product endorsement, since Pennzoil has sponsored many such parades in the real world. Also, Pennzoil is an oil used in automobiles, and the Homsars are driving cars.
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm a little light in the leftovers!"
| [[Weclome Back]] (Jul. 3, 2006)
| Homsar says this while standing on a merchandise table.
| Homsar takes a common phrase and substitutes a random word — something he does fairly often. This sentence could be construed to mean "I don't have much leftover stuff", or "I'm not very smart". It should also be noted that being "a little light in the '''loafers'''" is a common euphemism for homosexuality. The phrase itself, when put into context, is likely Homsar's way of saying that the merchandise is a limited time offer, or he simply ran out.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "This dinner party is top dollar!"
| [[cliffhangers]] (Sept. 18, 2006)
| Homsar says this while hanging off a cliff by a rope.
| Not exactly appropriate given the situation, but he does acknowledge that he is at a gathering. It could also be inferred that he likes hanging upside-down. Additionally, he could be referencing the King of Town's tendency to eat random things. It is also possible that Strong Bad convinced both Homsar and the King of Town that he was taking them to a dinner party, which would have made sense to the King of Town.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Eggs tree, eggs tree! This get-up is mah get down!"
| [[Happy Hallow-day]] (Oct. 30, 2006)
| Homsar is holding a newspaper with the headline "Eggs Tree! Eggs Tree!"
| "Eggs Tree" sounds like the way Homestar pronounced "extree" earlier in the toon, albeit broken up into words. Plus, during this scene he's standing next to a tree full of actual eggs. "This get-up is mah get down" refers to when Homestar says that the Newspaper Boy outfit was NOT his Halloween costume. The opposite is the case for Homsar.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Well, hello, chocolate cake!"
| [[strong badathlon]] (Jan. 29, 2007)
| Homsar and Marzipan are having a tea party when The Cheat, covered in [[whatsit]], comes flying through the air and lands on the table.
| This line makes some sense in this context, since chocolate and whatsit are both brown in color. Another way this line could make sense is that "chocolate cake" can be used as a term of endearment. It is also possible that Homsar could be referring to the shape of The Cheat as a piece of chocolate cake.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAh! My cheese is 50 cent!"
| [[Who Said What Now?]]
| This is Homsar's quote for the game.
| Since all of the character quotes in the game reflect the character in some way, this quote makes sense, since Homsar's character that of a non-sequitor.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "These Easter pants are getting way too tight!"
| [[DNA Evidence (toon)|DNA Evidence]] (May 15, 2007)
| This is Homsar's reply to Strong Sad, when the latter asks the former if he will say anything at the end of the toon.
| There are a couple of things this line could reference: Homsar's occasional appearances in [[Easter egg]]s, and the common running gag of [[pants]]. Perhaps Homsar is somewhat dazed by Strong Sad's long exposition and is uttering whatever is on his mind. It could also mean that he feels pressure from Strong Sad after witnessing such an out-of-character revelation from him, and wishes to remove himself from the uncomfortable situation or change the subject. It could also be referring to himself, "The Human Wedgie". Another explanation is he refers to secrets as "easter pants" (hence the term EASTER egg) and he can't keep much more of them.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Ennn-joy!"
| [[160 Seconds]] (Jun. 5, 2007)
| The English-speaking males take turns reading the introduction of the video.
| This quote makes perfect sense because they hope the viewers like the video.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAaAaA! Don't count on it, monster may-an!"
| [[mini-golf]] (Aug. 13, 2007)
| Homsar's response to Strong Bad while floating through the air above [[Sweet Puttin' Cakes]], when Strong Bad asked the [[Drive-Thru Whale]] "Homsar, is that you?"
| This would appear to make literal sense, as Homsar is not inside the Drive-Thru Whale, though he appears to have given Strong Bad another new nickname.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm a touchy feely-holic!"
| [[Jibblies 2]] (Oct. 29, 2007)
| Homsar's response to the [[Horrible Painting]].
| This response makes sense in reference to his costume, the "Noony Noony Noo" Typewriter Guy and can be interpreted as "I like using myself to type."
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "I'm a long-standing munch date!"
| [[Where's The Cheat? (game)]] (Nov. 12, 2007)
| Strong Bad meets Homsar in a secret room.
| This would make sense if Homsar felt he was waiting too long for someone to access his Easter Egg.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "My name's Millions, and I'm the son of a Chipwich!"
| [[fan club]] (Jan. 28, 2008)
| Homsar's response to Strong Sad's mentioning of the ongoing debate of the non sequitur championship.
| This makes perfect sense as a response to the mentioning of non sequiturs, one of which this definitely is. Homsar's first line may also be him trying to introduce himself to Strong Sad's [[The Deleteheads|fan club]].
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaaAAaaaaAaaa! Step right up! I'm a crudely drawn cupcake! Don't forget your tapesicle!"
| [[Homestar Ruiner]] (Aug. 11, 2008)
| This is the message you receive when you call Homsar using Homestar's cell phone.
| Homsar does something he does fairly often. When he doesn't really have anything to communicate, he just draws something out of mid-air, however he does have the shape of a "crudely drawn cupcake". "Don't forget your tapesicle" is a word salad, or may simply be a reminder for the caller to leave a message.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "DaaAAAAAaaa! I'm the buttersilk pancake!"
| [[Make a Scene with Telltale: Strong Bad Edition]] (Aug. 31, 2008)
| This is Homsar's comment on the pancake that everyone else is discussing.
| This makes sense in that everyone is talking about the pancake the King of Town is supposedly making. It may be implied that Homsar himself is the pancake and Homestar's follow-up line about him affirming this supports this.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Daaah, I'm a knock knock joke about jogging suits!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| This is what Homsar usually says when you try to talk to him.
| This sounds like a word salad, however, when Strong Bad gains the ability to understand Homsar this is translated into "Hello, Strong Bad. What's the haps?"
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Pucker up, Dice Man! I'm as upholstered as I wanna be!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar usually says this when Strong Bad asks him to join Strong Badia.
| At first glance this may seem like a word salad (with Strong Bad hoping he's not Diceman), but Homsar could be rejecting Strong Bad's offer. When Strong Bad can understand Homsar, this is translated as "Why should my people risk open war for you and your considerable style?"
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAaAaA, try some caked-on makeup from yesteryear!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| This is what Homsar says when Strong Bad asks him about "that rock with the glowy popsicles stickin' out of it."
| Homsar apparently responds to Strong Bad's question, and if a Homsartifact is inserted in the pylon, "caked-on makeup" is translated to "assemble the sacred elemental items."
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Sign me up for soccer class, Debra!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar's response to Strong Bad attempting to speak in Homsar's language.
| It may seem like a word salad, but when Strong Bad speaks Homsar's language after being enlightened to Homsar's ways, it is translated as "Why are you speaking gibberish Strong Bad? Seriously, you sound like a two-years old boy."
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Hotel coupons for dinner again?"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| | Homsar's response to Strong Bad when he shows Homsar one of the Homsartifacts.
| Like the other responses from Strong Badia the Free, this sounds like a word salad, and has yet to be translated, but is probably Homsar trying to tell Strong Bad to put it in the "pylon."
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "My base boards are filled with chicken sticks!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
|
|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "DaAaHh I'll take the last bus to the bake sale!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
|
|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Daaaahhhh, I'm the local Leroy!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar's response in Strong Bad's prep talk to the latter's line, "Have something to share with the rest of the class?".
| This likely counts as a word salad, but may mean that Homsar is willing to go to battle in the Homestarmy.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Daaaahhh, this mustard is just like paradise!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar's response to being in the Fog of War during the Maps and Minions game.
| Homsar is claiming that he doesn't mind being inside the fog. The term "mustard" may refer to "mustard gas", meaning that Homsar may think that the Fog of War is a mustard gas cloud, and he doesn't mind it.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
|
*"Daaah, no thanks, officer! I've got the one big round one!"
*"AaAaAa! I'm the long way back from naptime!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar's response to Strong Sad's droning in the Maps and Minions game.
| While they appear to be word salads, like everything else Homsar says in the game, they mean something else. In this case, Homsar is probably telling Strong Sad that he is not afraid and is taking the King of Town ("the one big round one") back to the Castle. He also seems to know that he is talking to a law enforcement officer. Alternatively, he could be talking to Strong Bad, saying he doesn't need help and he'll keep Strong Sad (the one big round one) occupied for him. "I'm the long way back from naptime" may be a threat to knock Strong Sad out.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "Here comes the yogurt patrol!"
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar says this when confronting Strong Mad.
| Homsar may be warning Strong Mad to watch out for him.
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------valign=top
| "I left my bacon at the tennis patch".
| [[Strong Badia the Free]] (Sept. 15, 2008)
| Homsar says this after being defeated by Homestar.
| This sentence could possibly mean that he surrendered and left for important reasons.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "[[Pie|Piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie]]!"
| [[Baddest of the Bands]] (Oct. 27, 2008)
| Homsar screams this while being electrocuted at the DOI concert.
| Homsar was in distress, and likely shouted the first thing that came to mind.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAah leave my itch machine on pause mostly!"
| [[Baddest of the Bands]] (Oct. 27, 2008)
| Homsar's response to Strong Bad asking why he's still on stage after the concert.
| The "itch machine" in question may be Homsar's theremin, as it somewhat resembles a scratching post. On a related note, "itch machine" is one of the possible things Homsar will pick for what the "I" stands for in DOI.
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "AaAaAah'm the Captain Caveman of the graveyard train!"
| [[Most in the Graveyard]] (Oct. 30, 2008)
| Homsar speaks this line disguised as Captain Caveman, popping out from behind a grave.
| This sentence makes perfect literal sense on its own, and is also a reference to his character video, in which he refers to himself as the "captain of the gravy train."
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- valign=top
| "You bring the dip, I'll mow the side yard."
| [[Career Day]] (Mar. 10, 2009)
| Homsar says this when Strong Bad as Space Captainface announces to talk about his career in space travel.
| This sentence may likely refer to Homsar's reaction to Strong Bad's description of his career, similar to Strong Mad and Homestar's respective initial negative reactions to him.
|}

== Analysis and Summary ==

As shown here, there are logical arguments for almost all of Homsar's phrases. It seems that Homsar simply has an odd and somewhat indirect way of communicating with others.

There is a pattern that appears during this analysis, however: In almost every case, if there's a strong reason for Homsar to communicate a particular concept, he'll do it unerringly — one can always tell what he means. It is when he doesn't have a particularly strong reason to communicate that his speech becomes more random. For example, if he has a request ("Is that rhinoceros around?", "That's a real popular song! Who wants to hear of it fifty times more?"), his sentence relates quite clearly to the scene, and is itself perfectly valid, even if there was a much more direct way of saying it. But in his character video, his sentences are almost completely disconnected from one another, and in [[suntan]] and [[theme park]], he had no particular reason to send a message, so he seemed to just pull a random sentence out of thin air, perhaps just so he could say something.

It seems clear that while Homsar doesn't have a strong grasp on reality, he is pretty coherent most of the time, and he can relate to other characters and his surroundings when he needs to. Looking at the definition of "word salad" as given by Wikipedia, it does not appear that Homsar suffers from this disorder — at least, not much.

However, in [[Strong Badia the Free]] it is determined that Homsar's speech is actually a well-developed language, as Strong Bad is briefly able to understand it, making Homsar's speech make perfect sense. To Strong Sad, however, the two characters appear to be speaking nonsense.

'''Free Country, USA''' (also spelled '''Free Country USA''' and '''FCUSA'''), is where the [[Homestar Runner universe]] is centered. All of the [[:Category:Main Characters|main characters]] live, work, and play here.

==Geographical Features and Locations==
[[Image:The Empty Field Of Green.png|thumb|The thriving hub that is Free Country, USA]]

Free Country, USA features a verdant [[The Field|field]] that typically serves as a central link between the various features of the landscape. At the center of the field itself is [[The Stick]], which functions as a landmark and a meeting place for [[Strong Bad]] and whomever he chooses to meet there. The edge of the field is lined with what appear to be trees. They represent the edge of Free Country. Probably also somewhere in or near the field is a stream with a picturesque [[The Stone Bridge|stone bridge]]. [[Date Nite|Once]], Strong Bad and [[Homestar Runner]] rocketed their [[USS Flirtini|cardboard submarine]] backwards along this stream, ending up in a large, open body of water. This may or may not be [[The Pond|the pond]] Strong Bad and [[Coach Z]] have been seen fishing in, or the sea; [[Marzipan]] once [[Homestar Presents: Presents|mentioned]] a location she referred to as "the wharfs", featuring crab traps and trapped baby seals. Rounding out the natural features are mountains (usually seen only from a distance). The foothills of these mountains are likely located in the nearby [[Spooky Woods|woods]], as they contain at least one [[cliff]]. There is also one "hot spot", [[Carrot and Kazoo Hill]].

Specific locations in Free Country are treated with a certain ambiguity. Somewhere at the edge of The Field is the [[The Athletic Field|Athletic Field]]; logically, [[Coach Z's locker room]] is near the Athletic Field. The kickball field seen in [[Kick-a-Ball]] is probably near or in the athletic field due to the scoreboard there. Somewhere near the Athletic Field is [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. Other locations include a building containing a [[The Classroom|classroom]], used for multiple purposes by most of the characters, [[the Office]] where many of the characters work, and [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (place)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]], a once-popular haunt for Homestar.

The toon [[Summer Short Shorts]] features a sequence with [[Pom Pom]] that reveals that Bubs' Concession Stand, as well as a dense forest, is very near [[Strong Badia]]. A similar forest can be seen in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]]. However, the Pom Pom short depicts the forest and Bubs' with Strong Badia set in between them, whereas Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon shows Bubs' on the edge of the forest with no Strong Badia to be seen. This forest may or may not be the [[Spooky Woods]] that is usually seen at night in Halloween-themed episodes.

''[[Homestar Ruiner]]'' and [[Baddest Of The Bands]] feature a map of Free Country, USA, but eschews any sense of proper geography, in favor of allowing the player to move the various landmarks around the landscape to their liking. In [[Strong Badia the Free]], the [[King of Town]] eats Strong Bad's map, forcing him to write the names of locations in the spaces on the board for an old Maps and Minions game that was lying around in Strong Badia (In this game, locations are placed on the map by the game rather than by the player, but as Strong Bad is simply writing the names of locations on a board game, this is still not a proper map of Free Country, USA). Coincidentally, the King of Town was using his own copy of Maps and Minions Deluxe to coordinate his own forces, though his map didn't exactly match Strong Bad's.

===Characters' Homes===

As with Free Country's locations, the homes of different characters do not exist in rigidly established locations. With the exception of Coach Z's locker room and [[The Cheat|The Cheat's]] home (which is also [[The King of Town]]'s grill and therefore always near [[The King of Town's castle]]), none of the characters' homes have clear a geographical relation to each other. This ambiguity carries over into [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]], in which Strong Bad adds locations to his map at his (or more accurately, the player's) own discretion.

Some clues exist concerning this, however. In [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 9.2]], Strong Bad (as Cableman Jorge) asks Marzipan to buy a "hundred-foot spool of coaxial cable" in an attempt to get free cable service; this would imply the two houses are rather close to each other. In [[The King of Town DVD Commentary]], Strong Bad claims that The King of Town does not live in the castle, but in a "run down and creepy" "two bedroom job... next door" to him, although this was probably slanderous. Also, the similar designs of the exteriors of Marzipan's and Homestar's houses may be a hint that they were built from the same blueprints, as houses within a development often are. In the email [[unnatural]], a gigantic [[Bubs]] silhouette is seen walking from a silhouette of Strong Badia to The King of Town's castle, making it in several steps. This suggests that the castle is actually very close to Strong Badia.

==Flora and Fauna==

The flora of the land is somewhat sparse. Most of Free Country's ground is covered in evenly cut grass and long rows of large green bushes. Other types of shrubs and bushes make appearances from time to time; some bushes have been known to have [[Senor Cardgage]] inexplicably emerge from them. Though trees are seldom seen in Free Country, they are usually presented as being [[Wikipedia:deciduous|deciduous]], evidenced by the barren branches seen during Free Country's autumn. Occasionally [[Wikipedia:conifer|evergreen]] trees have been shown (usually around [[Decemberween]]). Flowers are incredibly rare and have only been seen in a couple of cartoons.

Fauna is in even shorter supply. Save for the [[Sea Creatures#Fish|fish]] in the pond, a few [[Bugs|crickets]], [[bees]], a number of bats, at least one [[Fat Bluebird|bird]] (others have been heard), [[The Bug|fly]] (some were seen at other places, including the trash can in [[invisibility]]), and [[Gavin|cockroach]], plus the characters themselves, no other animal life has yet been seen in Free Country, USA.

[[The King of Town]] at one point had [[The King of Town's Sheep|sheep]]. Whether he still owns them or ate them all is open to debate. It was at one time rumored that a [[Multi-Function Dragon|dragon]] menaced the castle, but even if he really existed, a story line shows it being slain.

==Politics==
[[Image:The KoTs Castle Grand.PNG|thumb|150px|The King of Town's Castle]]
Free Country appears at first glance to be a [[Wikipedia:monarchy|monarchy]] since it is nominally ruled by [[The King of Town]]. However, since Free Country is a [[Wikipedia:municipality|municipality]] and not a kingdom, the King of Town would technically be a [[Wikipedia:lord|lord]]. However, the self-conferred sovereign's reign is not widely recognized by the populace, so Free Country could be considered to be in a state of [[Wikipedia:Anarchy|anarchy]], where there is no accepted centralized government but the members of the community co-exist with loosely established rules that maintain order.

To this end, Free Country can muster a meager police force consisting of [[Homestar Runner]], [[Pom Pom]], [[Coach Z]], and [[Bubs]] to ensure that anyone engaged in [[Crimes committed by Strong Bad|criminal behavior]] (to date, only [[Strong Bad]] and [[The Cheat]]) are [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|placed firmly]] in [[jail]] (a large cardboard box). Since there is no need for an army (nor a government to stand one up), Free Country has no official military. It is, however, home to the [[Homestarmy]], a meager militia that includes a [[Frank Bennedetto|popcorn machine]] and is led by Homestar Runner. The Homestarmy once attempted to conquer Strong Badia (see below), but appears to represent no cohesive political movement (other than expressing discontent stemming from "playing second fiddle to a two-bit [[wrestleman]] and his yellow dog"). The King of Town has occasionally expressed an intention to exercise actual power, going so far as to mobilize [[The Municipality|his own military force]] headed up by [[The Poopsmith]], as seen in [[disconnected]].

Besides the King's castle (which would be the seat of government if the King's rule had any legitimacy), there is a different building containing a [[smoky office]] which has been used for various purposes, including a [[The Interview|newsroom]], [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|police station]], and a set for the ''[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]'' films.

The name and the currency used imply that this town is in the United States of America, and in [[trading cards]] Strong Bad makes reference to himself "here in the states" when addressing a Canadian writer. Yet any further details, regarding what state or town "Free Country" is in is never mentioned. They may have to pay taxes, however, as evidenced by [[A Decemberween Pageant]] and [[Arcade Game]].

===Strong Badia===
[[Image:Strongbadia.png|thumb|150px|Strong Badia]]
[[Wikipedia:Enclave|Within Free Country's borders]], the territory of [[Strong Badia]] exists as an autonomous enclave. Strong Badia has a [[flag day|flag]], a [[Strong Badia National Anthem|national anthem]], and has even had to [[The Battle of Strong Badia|defend its autonomy]] from [[Homestarmy|outside aggression]], as seen in [[army]]. Although Strong Bad said that Strong Badia doesn't have/need an army, the local gang, [[On Point Kings]], have transformed from being a simple group of guys hanging around to a band of shady <strike> missionaries</strike> mercenaries that specialize in black ops, brown ops, and the occasional beige op. Whether or not Strong Badia is a "real" country is open to debate, since the permanent population of Strong Badia is a [[tire]] and it's only the size of a backyard. A few email senders seem to call Free Country by this name, presumably because the characters talk about Strong Badia more often than Free Country. However, Strong Bad specifically addressed this issue in [[keep cool]], limiting the borders of Strong Badia to the empty lot.

==Other Territories==

Mentioned from time to time (and seen only via the depicted map) are other territories outside Free Country. If the circuitous path of Homestar's [[In Search of the Yello Dello|journey]] to [[Potamia]] for [[The Yello Dello]] is to be believed, Free Country borders the territory of [[Far Off Lands]]. Very little, if anything, is known about these territories or their relation to Free Country, although [[Prance]] is known to make at least one [[Hairstyle Runner|Homestar Runner-related product]].

According to the original Characters page and [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], [[The Brothers Strong]] come from a land called Parts Unknown.

Strong Bad claims to have a secret family (surnamed Mudgeman) in a community named Broiter Grove. If there is any shred of truth to this supposition, it can be assumed this community is near Free Country, USA, as Strong Bad is clearly without a working car.

==Economics==

The economics of Free Country are as ambiguous as the locations and politics of the territory. The local currency is [[Wikipedia:Federal_Reserve_notes|U.S. dollars]], although this official currency is augmented by a strong barter system that allows trade of goods and services (further suggesting that the government has no central banking power); most local commerce occurs at [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. Pencil shavings have been accepted by [[Bubs]] at least twice, in [[lackey]] and [[secret identity]]. Also, in a Easter Egg in [[colonization]], Homestar declares that 'Dirty [[Diapers]]' were to no longer be considered legal tender. In the email [[flag day]] a coin is visible that resembles a quarter. It is the same color, appears to be the same size, and has a face and words on both sides of it as well as words on the top and bottom of the coin. The date on it would be on the wrong side, though. The face on this coin is Strong Bad's. This implies that it is Strong Badian money, which implies Strong Badia is its own country. Strong Bad could be making this coin up because it has some of the words of the song he is currently singing printed on it. There was also a coin with a head of [[Trogdor]] on one side and his tail on another, seen in [[Kick-a-Ball]]. This somewhat suggests that Trogdor has his own type of currency, or the coin was made only for sporting events like kickball. It seems that there is some crabbing industry, as there are crab traps at the wharf (which often claim baby seals), even though this supposed wharf has never been seen, and its existence is doubted by Strong Bad in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].

Bubs' Concession Stand is known to accept these forms of currency:
*Cash
*Money
*Cash Money
*Pencil Shavings (added to the sign by the Cheat)
*Quesos (Strong Badian curency)
*First Born Children
[[Image:Bubs Last Stand.PNG|thumb|150px|Bubs' Concession Stand]]

It is also unclear as to how rent or mortgages on the houses owned by Free Country residents is paid. [[Strong Bad]] mentions in [[colonization]] that he had to give [[Bubs]] his first and last month's rent deposits, but other than that, no other characters have mentioned how or when they pay rent.
===Employment===
:''Main article: [[Occupations]]''
Bubs works at his stand as a general fix-it man. He has also been seen as a mechanical worker at [[The Office]], and as a bartender at [[Club Technochocolate]]. [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]], [[Strong Bad]], [[The Cheat]], [[Strong Sad]], [[Coach Z]], and [[Pom Pom]] work in some kind of an office, at least occasionally. Homestar also hosts [[The Show]]. [[Strong Bad]], in addition, had a "part, part, part, part, very part time job" as a giant [[Tragic Clown Dog]] mascot at [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] in [[part-time job]]. He quit that job, however, when he realized that he needed to rush back to Marzipan's house to finish his email before the [[Lappy 486|Lappy]] lost its battery charge. [[Strong Mad]] appears to work as a bouncer at [[Club Technochocolate]]. [[Coach Z]] is presumably some kind of a coach and a gym class teacher; he has also been seen working as a custodian at the office and as a [[Drive-Thru Whale|mascot]] for [[Blubb-O's]] restaurant. [[The King of Town]] employs [[The Poopsmith]] for reasons he does not care to disclose as well as a [[The Little Chef Guy|chef]], a [[The Blacksmith|blacksmith]], a [[The Hornblower|hornblower]], a [[The Cleric|cleric]], and a [[The Knight|knight]]. Marzipan, The Cheat, and Strong Mad are in a band named [[Cool Tapes]], which tours and sells "steven inches" for [[pi]] dollars. Marzipan additionally runs a kindergarten class which includes Homestar, [[Homsar]] and [[Strong Mad]]. [[Senor Cardgage]] has had several shady jobs, such as a mortgage seller, owner of an online e-niversity, operator of Shady Daycares, and lastly, with a somewhat stable job as an usher at the local [[The Movie Theater|theater]]. There is likely a Board of Health in FCUSA, as evidenced in [[Donut Unto Others]], where Strong Bad works as a health inspector. It has not been revealed whether the remaining characters have jobs.

==Free Country Through Time==

In addition to its current, contemporary depiction, Free Country has been shown in the past and possibly in the future.
[[Image:1936field.png|thumb|150px|Old-Timey Free Country]]
===Old-Timey Free Country===

In the [[Old-Timey|1930s]], Free Country was characterized by dirt roads, picket fences, carnival tents, antiquated Industrial Revolution-era factories, and even a [[Cholera Acres Cemetary|graveyard]], only the latter of which may have survived the passage of time. As with the rest of the USA during this time period, Free Country was [[Wikipedia:Great Depression|economically depressed]], with the population being forced to subsist on dry meal, water soup, and parsnips. Commerce, such as it was, was located at a [[Parsnip Depot|dilapidated depot]].

There was a growing, through sponsorship funds, radio station (name still unknown) which had a drama - "The Fish Was Delish Progrum", in which Sir Strong Bad already was building up his showman career.

And, though there is some debate as to whether or not Free Country was still under [[Wikipedia:Prohibition|Prohibition]] during this time period, some residents enjoyed the occasional nip of [[Wikipedia:Alcoholic beverage|hooch]] regardless.

[[Image:Freepetrydishusa.PNG|thumb|right|150px|Home to a bunch of plucky parameciums]]

===Free Petry Dish USA===
In the email [[highschool]], Strong Bad claims that the entirety of Free Country, USA was, in the past, merely on a petri dish, with all its inhabitants being single-cell organisms. However, considering his purported "unphotographic memory", it's unlikely that such a place ever truly existed.
[[Image:planetk.png|thumb|150px|20X6 Free Country]]

===Futuristic Free Country?===

In the futuristic year [[20X6]], Free Country may or may not be one and the same as [[Planet K]], which looks much like the current Free Country. If so, Free Country will grow to feature significantly more architecture to the extent of having a full city (a quality the territory currently lacks). Nothing is yet known about the economic or political state of this ultramodern version of Free Country, though there is a significantly higher frequency of fights and challenges faced by its residents, which include various robots. They appear to be located in the same region, however, as Strong Bad buries a time capsule that is later discovered by Stinkoman.

==Estimated Real-World Location==

Viewers of Homestar Runner have variously speculated about the "real" location of Free Country, USA, though it is generally assumed [[The Brothers Chaps]] prefer to leave its location undetermined.

Each time the world is seen from space, the shape of the United States is easily recognizable. The characters speak with American accents, type with American spelling, celebrate many American [[holidays]], and make references to elements of American culture (such as its [[presidents]]). Most obvious is the fact that "USA" is in the name. On a side note, America is widely known as a "free country." Therefore, it seems safe to conclude that Free Country, USA is somewhere in America. This may be the closest one can come to determining a location for Free Country, USA, as many of the following observations are contradictory to one another.

*The scene in the [[Theme Song Video]] where Homestar runs around the planet and a star appears on a United States map would lead one to believe it's possible that Free Country is somewhere in northern Nebraska.
*In the email [[radio]], the [[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU]] radio station's call letters are given as [[Radio Stations and Shows|WSBD]], as are "Numbitty 902's" WA3D FM. Real-world radio designations would place Free Country east of the Mississippi river, although there are some historical [http://www.oldradio.com/archives/general/kwtrivia.htm exceptions].
*Free Country is likely in a northern latitude or high altitude given the snowy weather around [[Decemberween]].
*In the email [[anything]], Homestar refers to his two liter bottle of [[Mountain Dew]] as "soda", which is a term more used in the northeast and in the west. In parts of the Upper Midwest it is frequently called "pop".
*The Brothers Chaps themselves live in Atlanta, Georgia, making it possible that Free Country is located in the Southeast.
*In [[Homestar Presents: Presents]], Marzipan references baby seals and crab traps at the wharf, suggesting that Free Country is near the ocean, or at least a salt-water body.
**This might just show that there is a large lake nearby.
**This might just show that they import seals and crabs and trap them at a place called "the wharf."
*In [[Homestar vs. Other Little Girl]], Homestar claims he does ''not'' live in Texas.
*In the end of [[Where the Crap Are We?]], Homestar thinks he and Strong Bad are in Massachusetts, which would indicate that they are not from there.
*In [[Weclome Back]], [[Cool Tapes]] did a midwest tour, indicating that they may be from around there.
*In [[colonization]], [[Strong Bad]] and [[Bubs]] share some "cold Hardee's he had lying around", which implies that Free Country may be in the Eastern/Midwestern part of the USA (In the Western part of the US, "Hardee's" is called "Carl's Jr.").
*In the email [[keep cool]], the temperature was 98ºF, but in all the Decemberween episodes, there is snow, suggesting that Free Country is in a state where the climate varies greatly.
*In the email [[retirement]], [[Strong Bad]] tells the audience to "feast their Dust Bowl-ravaged eyes" on his show. This suggests that they might be in the Great Plains area.
*In [[Main Page 11]], Downloads shows a weather map of the eastern region of the United States, suggesting that Free Country, USA is in the eastern half of the USA.
*In [[Baddest Of The Bands]] when sending in his album cover to [[Limozeen]], [[Strong Bad]] wrote down "Staten Island...10301..." this is [[Limozeen]]'s address, as on [[baddestofthebands.com]] they were said to leave their "Staten Island home base" for the Battle Royale Of The Bands (which they didn't really leave.) This could imply that Free Country USA isn't near Staten Island, since Strong Bad is mailing the letter. Though this may not be the case.
*In [[8-Bit Is Enough]], the camera zooms out to what looks like the map from the [[Theme Song Video]], and a large explosion resonates from the center of the map, similar to the star in the Theme Song Video.

== Trivia ==
*The [[Strong Bad Email]] [[flashback]] marked the first time that a character actually said the name "Free Country, USA." Homestar also said the name "Free Country, USA." in Episode 1 of [[Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People]].

VmKid: /**/Never DELETED!

{{featuredarticle}}
==PINE==
Strong Bad's up-to-date email program looks suspiciously like PINE (PINE Is Not Elm). PINE is one of the older old-school email clients on UNIX networks such as university shell accounts.

-- The official acronym for PINE is Program for Internet News and Email.

:I was thinking the same thing. Compare it to [http://sv1.letmehost.com/sv1/13/sb_pine.png this] screenshot. '''Linux'''erist [[User:Linuxerist|L]] / [[User_talk:Linuxerist|T]] 18:11, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

== Contrast ==

Do you think that perhaps the contrast knob will be added to the Lappy later on? I mean, maybe they just forgot to put it in. In any case, I liked the contrast thing (although the LCD liquid effect is pretty dang cool).

*Probably not. Most laptops I've seen don't have contrast knobs (though my knowledge of ancient laptops is pretty non-existant). --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 15:00, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)
**I have an ancient laptop... probably closer to a Lappy 286 than a Lappy 486. It has no contrast, but it does have brightness which would basically just make the backlight brighter or darker. Even at its brightest, it's nowhere near bright enough unless all the lights are out. So theoretically this could be added, but I have a feeling they're gonna leave it as just the LCD effect. --[[User:jtickle|jtickle]] 23:45, 29 Nov 204 (EST)
***I've used several laptops, and I have never seen a contrast setting on any of them. I think it's a setting specific to the electron guns used in CRT monitors. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 00:10, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
****I've used a Toshiba 286 laptop with a blue LCD screen. It definately had a constrast knob, it was on the side of the computer.--[[User:Dwedit|Dwedit]] 17:39, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)
*****Then I was wrong, which wouldn't be the first time that's happened. Thanks. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 20:37, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)
**Perhaps more relevent, the original Gateway Colorbook had a 486, color screen, and a contrast knob which had the interesting property of being able to invert the color like a photographic negative if you went too far in the wrong direction. --Anonymous
***I, too, really like the LCD effect when I click on Lappy's screen. Probably because I imagine SB has to clean all those "fingerprints!" -- anonymous lurker 12:14, 13 Dec (PST
*I personally don't think that TBC will bother adding contrast knobs. I mean, what realy purpose were they in the first place besides finding "glitches" when there was a cut scene? -[[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 11:05, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

== OS Inspiration ==

I know I can't be the only one to see parallels between the Lappy 486's logo and that of [http://www.aci.com.pl/mwichary/guidebook/interfaces/macos/macos80/macos80/startupshutdown Mac OS 8]. Even the startup sound seems rather Mac-inspired. --[[User:codeman38|codeman38]] 21:56, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)

Compy 386 was also mac-inspired. See e-mail "[[big white face]]" when Strong Mad runs "b/w" (You can see the Apple logo in the upper-left corner, as well as various other design similarities.) Also, The Cheat's computer is obviously an iMac.
:Oh, yeah, it's '''definitely''' Mac-inspired.—[[User:StrongstarRunbad|StrongstarRunbad]] 14:53, 9 Dec 2004 (MST)
The prompt seems to be from [http://apple2history.org/history/ah14.html Apple DOS], unless there's another OS with a "]" prompt. [[User:68.163.147.134|68.163.147.134]] 23:48, 18 Dec 2004 (MST)

== Lappy outer logo ==

Can anyone get a shot of the Lappy outer logo? When Strong Bad carries it in his fist blocks it.
:I'm working on it, as you can see from [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v106/ender_kg/lappy_laptoplogo.png this image]. Also, if you wanted a screenshot of the logo that Strong Bad's head blocks when we first see the logo on screen, that image [http://img15.exs.cx/img15/3971/lappy_simple.png is here.] Even if I'm able to cut Strong Bad out from the screenshot of the ORIGINAL FRAME, the image quality will not be too high. Better to leave it small such as [http://img15.exs.cx/img15/3971/lappy_simple.th.png this thumbnail]. Hope this was helpful.

The Lappy's boot-up process-- including the sound, the icon, and the logo text-- is very reminiscent of that of [http://www.aci.com.pl/mwichary/guidebook/interfaces/macos/macos80/macos80/startupshutdown Mac OS 8].　--[[User:codeman38|codeman38]] 21:51, 29 Nov 2004 (MST)

* I think it should. Though there are little dots of green and blue in it (If you print screen, you don't even have to zoom in) I put in Maroon, brown, light brown, and beige. I think those are the main colors, buyt if anyone disagrees, please say so.

:It's not going to be very easy to get every single color in the explosion. I think "The explosion in [[do over]]" would work, but not every color. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 15:53, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

* I agree, so I think those four will do (Plus white, but it's already on the list) We at least should use brown and light brown, but maroon and beige should also be noted. If it's shown on the Lappy, then it should be noted. - [[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 17:15, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== More Colors or No Colors ==

I'm not a member, I hope you all don't mind.
I saw a discussion about the explosion's colors, but I also wanted to note that in the SBemail [[death metal]] Strong Bad has a video chat with [[Larry Palarochini]], the Video Thyme uses far more colors than the explosion, and having to note all possible colors would eventually result in it no long being as much 'several' colors.
I do believe that the section on 'Colors' in the Lappy article could be removed.

== Merged from Female Lappy 486 ==

I got rid of the below:

== Quick Facts ==
*The Female Lappy looks to be inspired by the movie [http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?id=1800133713&d=hv&cf=info "War Games"] in which
a talking computer would greet and interact with its user, David.

It's not at all unique to ''War Games''. What aboot ''2001: A Space Oddysey'', or, ''Knight Rider''? Point is, a computer that talks to the user isn't a reference to any specific thing. --[[User:beanluc|beanluc]] 14:29, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)

I wouldn't know. I've never seen the movie. But if the talking computer in War Games has blonde hair and a female face, I think it can be considered a valid reference. :) 
Female Lappy 486 is the first hrwiki page I've ever created. *treasures it somehow* --[[User:mathgrant|mathgrant]]

Many combolations, Elizimath. ---[[User:Bellatrix|Bellatrix]]

== Merge with Lappy 486 ==

I think the female persona has become established to the point that it is a true part of the Lappy. I therefore don't see the need for two pages on the subject. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:15, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

== Latest version of Glitch0 ==

Apparently, the Lappy's font also contains [[dreamail|letters]] with [[portrait|accent marks]] and a [[business trip|tilde]] (~). SOMEBODY besides the Brothers Chaps should have the latest version of the font, right?

== email counter ==

#Is the email counter on this article supposed the be the number of ''emails checked'', or the number of ''sbemail episodes'' that have used the Lappy?
#Do Nice Dad's gems even count as emails, since they were... well, I don't know where they came from (figments of the Lappy's imagination?) {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 23:07, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

== Understated feature list ==

* 42 pounds!! (19 kilograms—"Extremely portable" according to Strong Bad in animal; he later describes it as "allegedly portable" in technology.)

:Not likely whatsoever; Most laptops are going to be no more than 10lbs, even vintage ones.

* 2MB Hard Drive! (Later said to be 5MB, as of retirement)

:I don't believe hard drives were ever made in 2MB capacities; either way, a 486-era machine would likely have a hard drive in the neighborhood of 150 to 600MB.

* "Several" Color Monitor

:It's likely going to have 8 bit video, providing a palette of 256 possible colors.

* Warning: Five Minute Battery Life (Strong Bad said it is "One half of ten minutes"—evidence shown in part-time job)
** In Homestar Ruiner and Strong Badia the Free, Strong Bad claims the Lappy's battery takes five to seven business days to fully charge ("The Lappy don't charge on weekends.")

:This one is semipossible; a battery of such vintage would likely have degraded to the point of uselessness, and would more than likely have a battery life of 5 seconds if that, and would actually never charge.

* 512K RAM (0.5 MB)

:A 486-vintage machine would likely have AT LEAST 2MB of RAM, with 4MB and 8MB being more likely, barring upgrades and expansions.

* "Finally, a computer for your lap!"—Compy

:This could mean that it's Compy's first laptop model, since laptops had been around from well before the 486 era.

* Although never mentioned, the Lappy may support a wireless internet connection. In part-time job, isp, Happy Dethemberween, licensed, rated, and your edge, it can be seen that Strong Bad does not use the Lappy's Ethernet socket.

:486-era laptops did not have built-in ethernet ports, except perhaps in some extreme or specialized cases. (PCMCIA cards typically provided an ethernet connection as well as the network hardware to support it.) As for a wireless internet connection, it's possible that one could be provided via a PCMCIA card, or this could be a case similar to the disconnected telephones.

* In the email environment, claims made about the Lappy include:
** Every time the "enter" key is pressed, everyone else in town will temporarily lose electricity.
** When the Lappy runs on battery power, 45 acres of rainforest are burned to the ground.

:Looking at the power requirements listed on my personal "Lappy 486" (an Ambra OEM Sceptre TS30AS using an Intel i486SX @ 33MHz), the power inputs needed are 17V @ 1A/2A or 20V @ 1.05A. Using P=IV, this works out to 17-34W, which is actually quite reasonable. {{unsigned|68.10.121.73|02:01, 28 September 2008 (UTC)}}

== The Lappy a Boy??? ==

In the introduction, it says that the Lappy was introduced as being male ("boy"). However, I think SB is using the term "boy" in that context to simply refer to the thing itself, and not to infer anything about its gender. I suggest it be reworded so as not to imply that he meant the Lappy was male.

VmKid: /* Extra Melty? */

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

== Get back to work, guys. ==

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

: I've listened to it several times, and I believe this is true. I'm gonna change it. It also makes makes sense since Crackotage and Silent Rip are actually working [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 14:10, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

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

:Definitely notable, but seemingly unintentional. Seems like a goof or a remark to me. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:21, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== Doorbell ==

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

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

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

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

::::But look at [[Donut Unto Others]]. A common tune was used in that toon as well, and that was put in Real World Refs. [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 22:50, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== With a vengeance ==

The credits say this show was "written with a vengeance by A.Chimendez". We already know he and Crack Stuntman have creative differences and that Gunhaver was nearly written off the show because of it. Now, in this episode, Gunhaver is fired. Am I on to something?

== All Ashore ==

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

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

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

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

== 3 for 1 ==

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

== Gasp! ==

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

== Section? ==

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

== Extra Melty? ==

Isn't that a reference to the Meltymens? [[User:DJmankiewicz|DJmankiewicz]] 13:21, 2 June 2009 (CST)
: Meaning the fan stuff thing? Granted there are three of them in that, too, but I think this is more likely just a reference to practice of melting action figures like G. I. Joes. Probably not a deliberate connection. [[User:Durniel|Durniel]] 19:12, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
: I think is's a reference to [[8-Bit is Enough]] where Strong Bad comments that he thinks the Topplegangers would be "Real Melty". [[User:VmKid|VmKid]] 02:16, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

== Oh yeah! Them. ==

I beleive the way Crackotage goes into great detail about the Topplegangers refers to the way many cartoons introduce recurring characters to new audiences or to make a new character(s) seem old: way drawn out and pointlessly explanatory. Example:

*'''Itchy''' : Hey look Scratchy, its our old friend, Poochy!

*'''Scratchy''': What's his name? I forgot.

*'''Poochie''': {does a rap about himself}

:No, it's not. and it's always been suggested that the phone is elsewhere in the house. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:51, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

== Wait, Stong? ==

are we all sure marzipan says "stong" instead of "strong"? because i've listened to the line over and over, and i think i can hear the "r" --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman (Neumannz)]] 17:26, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

::I don't think it's an intentional use of "Stong Sad" though. Sounds more like "stchong" than anything to me. I'd say change it to strong and accept that Missy probably just wasn't focused on enunciating when trying to sound upset. If she had meant it to be stong to bring up a previous reference it would have been more clearly pronounced. [[User:DaOysterboy|DaOysterboy]] 21:04, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Strong Bad says it as "Ella Phantzgerald" and not "elephants-gerald". We should transcribe what he says, and we don't need to point out the play on the word "elephants" (no need to explain the joke, folks). — [[Special:Contributions/75.175.135.173|75.175.135.173]] 18:24, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

== Sorry, Marzshie? ==

Is it worth noting that Strong Sad's saying, "Sorry, Marzy!" is reminiscent of/a refence to Nibbles' "Sorry, Marshie!" from bottom 10? -- Odincdaj522004 (I really should flesh out my userpage...)
:I don't think so. "Marzi" has been used as a nickname before, and the word "sorry" is very common. --[[User:Cass from Germany|Cass from Germany]] 15:28, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

== V.I. Warshawski ==

I know that given the fact that the DVD coming out in 2002, it's old and not a recent release, but isn't that the joke of Bubs' line? "still COUNTS as a new release," seems like it works a lot more like it's making fun of Bubs' cheapskate nature, and therefore, if you're going to make a note about it in Fun Facts, you should probably refer to that.--[[User:Pop tire|Pop tire]] 06:19, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't think that's a Spoonerism, I think that it's the KOT's very uncreative codename for himself.
:Whether it's creative or not, it's still a spoonerism. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:30, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

It's probably because of the animation at the beginning, but I noticed that in this version, pressing the forward button at the end does not go to the beginning of the toon.
