beanluc: /* 2 Homestars */

== Tape Recorder ==

Don't you think we should say something about this being the only main page where the Home Pages buttons are covered, even if it is just for a few secconds?

== Randomizer ==

Is this main page featured on the main page randomizer, or is it another deal like [[Main Page 22]]? {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 17:30, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:From decompiling main_nav.swf, all main pages would appear to be gettable using the "main" link on the navbar. Then again, I know practically nothing about decompiling stuff. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 18:37, 19 September 2005 (BST)

:: I hit the "main" button a few times and eventually hit 23. So yes, it's on the main page randomizer. As for 22, I don't know if it's currently there or not. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:40, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::: I hit the main button on the bottom (not the one on the title page) and got 22. --{{User:Camalex/sig}}
:::: I eventually got 21, 22, and 23. I removed part of the fact on Main Pages where it says you can't reach these pages. I haven't investigated whether clicking "come on in" will take you here. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:19, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::::You sure? I think I've gotten 21 and 22 before. -[[User:FaceCrap|FaceCrap]] 13:39, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Clapperboard ==

Is there an article for the Clab Board thing? I can't find it. If there isn't, i think there should. How do I add it?--[[User:Martin925|Martin925]] 21:36, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:The clapperboard? Well anyway, to make a page put - <nowiki> [[Clapperboard]] </nowiki> in the sandbox or on your userpage and it should appear in red.

:It doesn't prove there are 2 Homestars. [[Senorial Day]] proved that. There's one Homestar with a mustache, and another one without. On this page we can't see whether there's a mustache or not, so we don't know whether there are 2 identical Homestars or 2 Homestars a little different.

== Back Head ==

This is really freaky! I was pressing on the tab bar, and after a second of the yellow box scrolling really fast, Strong Bad popped up but facing me and he said "Oh, It's the back of my head!". Has anyone else ever gottn this? It was on the .swf file, just to tell you. -[[User:FaceCrap|FaceCrap]]
:Um... yeah, that's what he does when you mouse over it a second time. [[Main Page 23|You know we have a wiki, right?]] :P (Sorry, forum quote.) - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''

== ? or ! ==

Maybe I'm being nitpicky here, but I think it would be more appropriate for the transcript to read "Sup, man!" and "Sup!" with exclamation points instead of question marks. Especially in this context, I don't think they're really questions so much as just greetings. I don't know. That's just me.
:i agree.......greatly
::I disagree, but not greatly. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

== Incorrectly regarded as goofs ==

I know this article is still young, but I think so far we've been overly critical with regard to the goofs. I think DorianGray said it best: "It's debatable how much of the Main Pages are actually canon anyway."
*'''The Weeklies buttons are not truly flipped. It should go in this order, left to right: [[Random Toon]], [[Sketchbook]], [[Weekly Fanstuff]], then [[Quote of the Week]].'''
**While this is true, TBC would have had to make another [http://www.homestarrunner.com/newbutton.swf newbutton.swf] for this to happen. So by them not doing this, we consider this a goof?
***They went to the trouble to make the rest of the page reversed, why leave this one out? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
****I think they left this out simply due to the reason I supplied: Having to make an "reversed" flash file. I'll further extend this to [http://www.homestarrunner.com/homepages_23.swf homepage_23.swf]. They didn't reverse the numerical order for a similiar reason. The only notable change I see from [http://www.homestarrunner.com/homepages.swf homepages.swf] is the that the buttons are justified to the right instead of the left. {{User:The Paper/sig}}
*****But in making "homepages_23", they proved that they could, if they wanted to, have made "newbutton_23". Also, now that you bring it up, I think the numerical order should be reversed on the home pages. Again, why do most of a joke but not all of it? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:51, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
******I can't speak for TBC, but I would say they probably didn't reverse order of the weeklies and the homepages because of difficulties in doing so. At this point, we're both speculating as to why TBC didn't complete the joke. I think it comes down to the limits of what you can do in Flash '''easily'''. I stress easily here not to discredit any of TBC's work, but to show that I think they would have done it had it been more feasable. My argument here is that it isn't GOOF. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 22:19, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
*******It's still notable, so I'll meet you halfway. Moving to remarks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:29, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
<hr width="50%">
*'''If The Cheat falls while the other Homestar is walking past, Homestar is in front of The Cheat even though from the perspective he should be farther away.'''
** Things like this happen many times in main pages, See [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Main_Page_13&diff=prev&oldid=59953 Firebird's edit on Main Page 13].
*** I could do without this one. Isn't it a Flash artifact and therefore disqualified anyway? In fact, I'm gonna give this one the del taco on those grounds. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
****Actually, I think that TBC can do the layering themselves, and it actually is their own mistake. I work in flash, so I'd probably know. -[[User:FaceCrap|FaceCrap]]
*****Still, each button is its own segment, independent of the others. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:07, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)
******The term "Flash artifact" is over-applied around here. It's meant to refer to unusual things found by ''manipulating'' the Flash file (that is, watching the .swf file directly or right-clicking and using the options there.) Thus, this ''is'' a mistake, not a Flash artifact. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:49, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)
*******I was gonna move your comments here but I see you already have some. I see your point, but I don't think it's a mistake. Possibly a glitch or a remark, but not a goof, because the buttons, technically, are independent from each other, and each one is supposed to play out on its own. The fact that two buttons together don't quite work might be notable, but we haven't listed them as goofs on other main pages. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:13, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)
********Examining the other main pages, this situation actually comes up almost never, and when it has, they've been pretty consistent about getting the layering right. I dunno... I guess I could see it as a goof (rather than a remark or a glitch) if someone really ''really'' felt that they should have gotten it right. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
<hr width="50%">
*'''The support behind Homestar's head would be visible from the front, but doesn't show up on any of the other main pages.'''
** It is true that other main pages do not have a piece of wood in that spot. However, for all we know it was added to the wooden "set" between Main Page 22 and this one for all we know. Perhaps we can move this to "remarks".
***I'll move this to remarks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
<hr width="50%">
*'''Homestar is standing in front of the set and the piece of wood that falls is behind it, so it should drop behind him, not hit him on the head.'''
** Again, I think we're being overly critical here. Generally odd things that defy the laws of physics happen on main pages. Is it a goof every time Homsar's hat falls back to his head when normally it should have missed his head and fell on the ground? {{User:The Paper/sig}} 20:38, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
***Meh, I could go either way on this one. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:43, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
***Perhaps the wooden set is leaning away from the camera, so its actually over Homestar's head

== Comments ==
I really like the fact that Strong Sad could very easily have said "I'm the floating head of doom" himself, but instead for some reason he plays a recording of himself saying it. Funny stuff.
--[[User:Der Pepper|Der Pepper]]

That is because Strong Sad would have to repeat it over and over, never sounding different.

:That's barely an issue. I mean, Strong Bad and Homestar do that just fine here. - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]''''' 17:18, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Home Pages vs. Main Pages ==

TBC have called them 'home pages' and the wiki calls them 'Main Pages'. Is there any difference between these two terms or is this one of those wikisms like '[[The Guy at the Depot]]'? {{User:The Paper/sig}} 22:36, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:Er, the button on the main page reads "new main page" and the link in the navbar reads "main" AND Coach Z calls it "main page number 23". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:39, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::BTW, there's a space in the "home pages" title above the links to the, um, main pages. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
::: True. Every ''main page'' except this one. See [[FAQ#Cartoons_.26_SB_Emails|'homepages' in FAQ]]. Looks like even TBC can't keep it straight. Just like the canon spelling of The Paper's sound. ;) {{User:The Paper/sig}} 22:45, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:::: Ah, touché, mon ami. There's actually a lot of examples like that, now that I think about it (listing them all would take up too much space here). But I did think of another "main" argument: Just look at the file name for each of the pages. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:54, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::::: You got me there. Clearly the preferred term is 'main page'. Now I wonder why 'mainpage' never caught on. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 23:01, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:::::: I dunno. I kinda prefer the two-word form myself. Main page. Home page. Here on the wiki: User page. Talk page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

Don't you think we should say something about this being the only main page where the Home Pages buttons are covered, even if it is just for a few secconds?

Is this main page featured on the main page randomizer, or is it another deal like [[Main Page 22]]? {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 17:30, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Back Head ==

This is really freaky! I was pressing on the tab bar, and after a second of the yellow box scrolling really fast, Strong Bad popped up but facing me and he said "Oh, It's the back of my head!". Has anyone else ever gottn this? It was on the .swf file, just to tell you. -[[User:FaceCrap|FaceCrap]]

== ? or ! ==

Maybe I'm being nitpicky here, but I think it would be more appropriate for the transcript to read "Sup, man!" and "Sup!" with exclamation points instead of question marks. Especially in this context, I don't think they're really questions so much as just greetings. I don't know. That's just me.
:i agree.......greatly
::I disagree, but not greatly. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

== Incorrectly regarded as goofs ==

I know this article is still young, but I think so far we've been overly critical with regard to the goofs. I think DorianGray said it best: "It's debatable how much of the Main Pages are actually canon anyway."
*'''The Weeklies buttons are not truly flipped. It should go in this order, left to right: [[Random Toon]], [[Sketchbook]], [[Weekly Fanstuff]], then [[Quote of the Week]].'''
**While this is true, TBC would have had to make another [http://www.homestarrunner.com/newbutton.swf newbutton.swf] for this to happen. So by them not doing this, we consider this a goof?
***They went to the trouble to make the rest of the page reversed, why leave this one out? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
****I think they left this out simply due to the reason I supplied: Having to make an "reversed" flash file. I'll further extend this to [http://www.homestarrunner.com/homepages_23.swf homepage_23.swf]. They didn't reverse the numerical order for a similiar reason. The only notable change I see from [http://www.homestarrunner.com/homepages.swf homepages.swf] is the that the buttons are justified to the right instead of the left. {{User:The Paper/sig}}
*****But in making "homepages_23", they proved that they could, if they wanted to, have made "newbutton_23". Also, now that you bring it up, I think the numerical order should be reversed on the home pages. Again, why do most of a joke but not all of it? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:51, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
******I can't speak for TBC, but I would say they probably didn't reverse order of the weeklies and the homepages because of difficulties in doing so. At this point, we're both speculating as to why TBC didn't complete the joke. I think it comes down to the limits of what you can do in Flash '''easily'''. I stress easily here not to discredit any of TBC's work, but to show that I think they would have done it had it been more feasable. My argument here is that it isn't GOOF. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 22:19, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
*******It's still notable, so I'll meet you halfway. Moving to remarks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:29, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
<hr width="50%">
*'''If The Cheat falls while the other Homestar is walking past, Homestar is in front of The Cheat even though from the perspective he should be farther away.'''
** Things like this happen many times in main pages, See [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Main_Page_13&diff=prev&oldid=59953 Firebird's edit on Main Page 13].
*** I could do without this one. Isn't it a Flash artifact and therefore disqualified anyway? In fact, I'm gonna give this one the del taco on those grounds. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
****Actually, I think that TBC can do the layering themselves, and it actually is their own mistake. I work in flash, so I'd probably know. -[[User:FaceCrap|FaceCrap]]
*****Still, each button is its own segment, independent of the others. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:07, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)
******The term "Flash artifact" is over-applied around here. It's meant to refer to unusual things found by ''manipulating'' the Flash file (that is, watching the .swf file directly or right-clicking and using the options there.) Thus, this ''is'' a mistake, not a Flash artifact. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:49, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)
*******I was gonna move your comments here but I see you already have some. I see your point, but I don't think it's a mistake. Possibly a glitch or a remark, but not a goof, because the buttons, technically, are independent from each other, and each one is supposed to play out on its own. The fact that two buttons together don't quite work might be notable, but we haven't listed them as goofs on other main pages. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:13, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)
********Examining the other main pages, this situation actually comes up almost never, and when it has, they've been pretty consistent about getting the layering right. I dunno... I guess I could see it as a goof (rather than a remark or a glitch) if someone really ''really'' felt that they should have gotten it right. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
<hr width="50%">
*'''The support behind Homestar's head would be visible from the front, but doesn't show up on any of the other main pages.'''
** It is true that other main pages do not have a piece of wood in that spot. However, for all we know it was added to the wooden "set" between Main Page 22 and this one for all we know. Perhaps we can move this to "remarks".
***I'll move this to remarks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
<hr width="50%">
*'''Homestar is standing in front of the set and the piece of wood that falls is behind it, so it should drop behind him, not hit him on the head.'''
** Again, I think we're being overly critical here. Generally odd things that defy the laws of physics happen on main pages. Is it a goof every time Homsar's hat falls back to his head when normally it should have missed his head and fell on the ground? {{User:The Paper/sig}} 20:38, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
***Meh, I could go either way on this one. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:43, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
***Perhaps the wooden set is leaning away from the camera, so its actually over Homestar's head

== Comments ==
I really like the fact that Strong Sad could very easily have said "I'm the floating head of doom" himself, but instead for some reason he plays a recording of himself saying it. Funny stuff.
--[[User:Der Pepper|Der Pepper]]

That is because Strong Sad would have to repeat it over and over, never sounding different.

:That's barely an issue. I mean, Strong Bad and Homestar do that just fine here. - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]''''' 17:18, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Home Pages vs. Main Pages ==

TBC have called them 'home pages' and the wiki calls them 'Main Pages'. Is there any difference between these two terms or is this one of those wikisms like '[[The Guy at the Depot]]'? {{User:The Paper/sig}} 22:36, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:Er, the button on the main page reads "new main page" and the link in the navbar reads "main" AND Coach Z calls it "main page number 23". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:39, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::BTW, there's a space in the "home pages" title above the links to the, um, main pages. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
::: True. Every ''main page'' except this one. See [[FAQ#Cartoons_.26_SB_Emails|'homepages' in FAQ]]. Looks like even TBC can't keep it straight. Just like the canon spelling of The Paper's sound. ;) {{User:The Paper/sig}} 22:45, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:::: Ah, touché, mon ami. There's actually a lot of examples like that, now that I think about it (listing them all would take up too much space here). But I did think of another "main" argument: Just look at the file name for each of the pages. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:54, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::::: You got me there. Clearly the preferred term is 'main page'. Now I wonder why 'mainpage' never caught on. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 23:01, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:::::: I dunno. I kinda prefer the two-word form myself. Main page. Home page. Here on the wiki: User page. Talk page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

[[The Homestar Runner]] plays a mean one, which [[Stinkoman]] assumes is a robot. [[Saddy Dumpington]] ([[Strong Sad]]'s 18th century persona) also would have played washboard.

|''(Intro)'' || A scene on a kitchen table where cups of coffee and a glass of water are hit by drumsticks as if they were a drum set, causing splashes for each beat at the start of the song.
|-
|The color of infinity inside an empty glass || Black-and-white film style. [[Strong Sad]] is looking through a glass of ice water on a table in front of him. The view gradually zooms out to reveal a bare bulb hanging from the ceiling behind him. At the end of the zoom, Strong Sad makes a sighing motion.
|-
|I'm squinting my eye and turning off || Strong Sad is standing in front of an [[ATM]] in [[The Field]]. The left edge of the film reel is exposed. Strong Sad hesitantly raises his finger towards the keypad on the ATM.
|-
|and on and on and off the light || The ATM screen fills the frame, with Strong Sad's reflection visible and the words "CHECK BALANCE??" flashing on it. For a brief moment, the view switches to an extreme close-up of Strong Sad's eye, which snaps shut in a sort of flinch.
|-
|It's for this experimental film || The left edge of the film reel is exposed in the middle of the frame, leaving a large amount of white space on the left side. Strong Sad is standing in The Field on the right, watching the exposed sprocket holes go by.
|-
|Which nobody knows about, and which || Gradual zoom-in on a close-up of Strong Sad's face, wearing a vacant expression and looking at something just below the camera. The flashing text "CHECK BALANCE??" is somehow reflected on his forehead.
|-
|I'm still figuring out what's going to go || A bare lightbulb swings back and forth in front of the camera, while a pencil drawing of a lightbulb is projected over it.
|-
|In my experimental film || Strong Sad is filming himself in a mirror with what looks like [[Home Movie Camera|a Super-8 camera]]. A bare bulb hangs at the top-left of the frame. Near the end of the shot, Strong Sad opens the eye that isn't pressed to the eyepiece, and blinks twice.
|-
|Yeah, you're all gonna be in this experimental || Switch to [[Powered By The Cheat]] style. The tentacle skull rides an old bicycle across a football field, while the people in the stands flip a series of large signs to show "YEAH!", a coffee cup, and a mountain scene.
|-
|film, And even though I can't || The PBTC head-tops of [[They Might Be Giants|John Flansburgh and John Linnell]] appear against a mountain-scene backdrop. A speech bubble appears over Flansburgh saying "yeah.", which is soon replaced by another one coming from Linnell and saying "film."
|-
|explain it || A very chaotic scene briefly flashes up, involving a large green horse-like silhouette with a red banner reading "YEAH!" hanging over its back.
|-
|I already know how || Switch to black-and-white film style. Strong Sad's head fills the frame once again, but this time the flashing text "MAKE DEPOSIT??" is reflected on his head.
|-
|great it's || Switch to Powered By The Cheat style. A series of different-sized ATMs appears on an arctic landscape with an igloo in the background. Each ATM screen bears a single letter, with the series spelling out "EXPERIMENTALFILM". The entire row of ATMs flashes twice, and a penguin pokes its head out of a small patch of water in the lower-left of the frame.
|-
|I already know the ending, It's the part that || Switch to black-and-white film style. Strong Sad is wearing a shaving cream beard and looking at himself in the mirror. He lifts a razor to his face, then sighs and puts it down without doing anything.
|-
|makes your face implode || Switch to an animated pen drawing of a coffee cup and a drumstick on yellow lined paper. The drumstick hits the surface of the coffee three times, once for every beat that occurs during this scene.
|-
|I don't know what makes your face || Back to black-and-white film style. Strong Sad is front and center, dressed as the Grim Reaper, complete with scythe. Both edges of the film reel are exposed.
|-
|implode, But that's || Again, both edges of the film are exposed. Grim Reaper Strong Sad and regular Strong Sad are looking at each other in The Field by way of a rather obvious split-screen technique.
|-
|the way the movie ends || Switch to animated pen drawings on white lined paper. A framed picture of a man with his head turned away is visible, with the script "Our Gracious Host" written underneath it. The man in the picture briefly turns to look forward, then turns back as the camera zooms in on him.
|-
|And in my experimental film || Switch to a muffin sitting on a table. In the background, a window is seen, showing a rising and setting sun. On the table, a flower blooms out of a flower pot.
|-
|which nobody knows about, and which || Switch to Strong Sad looking at his hands with a horrified expression. There are large cracks in his hands, and dozens of tiny The Cheats are crawling out of the cracks.
|-
|I'm still figuring out, your face || Switch to a wall of multi-coloured tiles. A globe in spinning in front of it, with nothing on it but land in the shape of a dinosaur.
|-
|implodes in my experimental film || Switch to Strong Sad and the ATM waist-deep in water. The lightbulb swinging above them, silhouetted like a wrecking ball.
|-
|Yeah, you're all gonna be in this || Switch to a pop quiz written on a piece of paper. There four answers written on the paper, 1.) Yeah! 2.) the cotton gin 3.) Appomattox 4.) 755. "Yeah!" is highlighted. A+ is written at the top of the page in red pen.
|-
|experimental film, and even || Switch to Strong Sad in front of the ATM, the word "YEAH!!" reflected on his forehead, flashing.
|-
|though I can't explain it || Switch to the ATM screen, with a Powered By The Cheat lion is a beanie cap is on it, with "it's a lion!" written under it.
|-
|I already || Switch to a piece of paper with the word "YEAH!!" erased on it, lying next to a pencil. A drawing of the tentacle skull rides across the piece of paper.
|-
|know how great its || Switch to Strong Sad standing in a corner, his shadow moving back and forth behind him
|-
|even though I can't explain it, I || Switch to the lightbulb swinging back and forth, as [[Gavin]] crawls up the wall.
|-
|already know how great it's || Switch to PBTC-style, at the football field. The people in the stands flip the signs to show the word "YEAH," the tentacle skull riding the bike, and an olive on a toothpick.
|-
|''(Instrumental)'' || Switch to film style, with [[Homestar Runner]] playing "Space Invaders" on the ATM, with presidents instead of spaceships, holding an Atari 2600 joystick. Strong Sad comes from the left of the screen and yells at him. Homestar drops the joystick and runs away. Switch to Grim Reaper Strong Sad and normal Strong Sad looking at each other through split-screen again. Homestar looks in the shot from the middle of the screen, half of his body invisible, exposing the split-screen even more. Strong Sad yells at him again and Homestar runs away. Switch to [[Strong Bad]] and [[Strong Mad]] at the ATM. Strong Mad is shaking the ATM violently, and Strong Bad is collecting all the money that falls out. Strong Sad appears again and yells at them. Strong Mad hurls the ATM up in the air, and they both run away in fear, leaving the money behind. The ATM is then seen to fall behind the bushes in the background.
|-
|The color of infinity inside and empty glass || Switch to Powered By The Cheat-style John Flansburgh and John Linnell standing under a clock.
|-
|It's for this experimental film, which nobody knows about || Switch back to film style. Strong Sad is standing in the middle of the frame, both edges of the film real are exposed. The image of Strong Sad shakes back and forth, and the film dissolves, showing a PBTC Strong Sad raising up his hands.
|-
|and which I'm still || Switch back to film style. Strong Sad is in front of his mirror with a shaving cream beard and a razor. He shaves away a strip of shaving cream.
|-
|figuring out what's going || Switch to an extreme close up of a PBTC-style [[The Cheat]] shaving.
|-
|what's going to go in my || Switch to the field again, with the left side of the film real exposed, a large amount of empty white space on the side of the frame. Strong Sad watches the sprocket holes go by, and then jumps past them into the white space.
|-
|experimental film || Switch to Strong Sad falling through empty space, the heads of various presidents from the ATM spinning around him.
|-
|Yeah, you're all gonna be in this || Switch to Homestar, Strong Bad and Strong Mad in The Field dancing.
|-
||experimental film || Switch to a computer keyboard where the Y, E, A and H keys are ligned up together. A finger presses all four of them.
|-
|and even though || Switch to the football field, where a PBTC Strong Sad falls from the air and lands in the ground. The people in the stands hold up the signs forming the words "it's a lion."
|-
|I can't explain it, I || Switch to film style, where the ATM is surrounded by water again. The right side of the film real is exposed. The finger that pressed the keyboard reaches out of the water.
|-
|already know how great it's gonna || Switch to Strong Sad in a desert being chased by the ATM wearing a football helmet.
|-
|Yeah, you're gonna || Switch to a PBTC John Flansburgh and John Linnell and a film-style Strong Sad in front of the mountain backdrop. Strong Sad jumps up, and so do Flansburgh and Linnell.
|-
|be in this || Switch to Grim Reaper Strong Sad and the tentacle skull in The Field, still using a split screen for some reason. Strong Sad jumps, and so does the tentacle skull.
|-
|experimental || Switch to the real ATM and the PBTC ATM in the desert. They both jump up in the air somehow.
|-
|film, and even || Switch to the cups of coffee from the beggining being hit by drumsticks.
|-
|though I can't explain it, I || Switch to a PBTC Strong Sad running up to the film style ATM.
|-
|already know great it's, even || Switch to Strong Bad in The Field dancing under the words "real smooth moves."
|-
|though I can't explain it, I already know how || Switch back to the PBTC Strong Sad pressing a button on the film style ATM. Dozens of money bags suddenly fall on top of him.
|-
|great it's || Switch back to the kitchen table. The sun sets again, the flower blooms again. Fade out.

HRWiki:Old STUFF

2005-05-20T20:09:31Z

beanluc: /* Change of Pace */ Homage, not theft

__NOTOC__
<div id="shortcut" style="border: 1px dashed blue; margin: 0em 1em 0em 1em; text-align: center; padding:5px; float: right; clear: both;">
Shortcut: [[HRWiki:STUFF]]</div>The situation with fun facts was getting a bit out of hand, especially with the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[virus]]. People often add fun facts that most people just don't think are fun or factual. So, we have set up this page where you can '''S'''elect '''T'''he '''U'''sable '''F'''un '''F'''acts (STUFF).

Here's how it works. First off, you ''can'' still add a fun fact to the page directly. If somebody doesn't like it, though, it will probably be STUFF'D!, that is, moved to this list. If you think there is even a small bit of doubt as to whether or not everybody would agree it's fun and/or factual, it should probably be added directly to this page instead. ''This will not be necessary for every page, only those that would otherwise likely be cluttered with fun facts. This applies mostly to pages reflecting new Homestar Runner content, for instance, the page for the latest Strong Bad Email.''

Check out [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive|The Archives]] and the [[HRWiki:over STUFF'd|over STUFF'd page]] for old fun facts that have moved on from this page.

Things that always make good fun facts:
* References to other toons or e-mails that will be obvious to longtime users but not to newcomers
* References to pop culture (but not those that are so obvious that ''everybody'' will recognize them; everybody knows that Ronald McDonald is the clown mascot of McDonald's, for instance)
* ''Verified'' tidbits about the creation of the toon or e-mail (for example, "Mike, not Matt, provided the voice of Strong Sad saying 'Douglas'")

Things that often do not make good fun facts:
* Speculation ("This scene may be a reference to a vaguely similar scene in ''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy''...")
* Glitches due to the Flash software (unless the glitch may have a very amusing and relevant anecdote to go with it)
* Things already noted in the transcript
* Things that anybody can figure out by watching the toon or reading the transcript
* Things that become easily dated. ("Other then those past two times, this is one of the few times that ____ happens")

Things that always make good fun facts can just be added directly to the appropriate page without going through the approval process. However, be careful with references: if it isn't ''necessarily'' true that the table turning into a black and red grid is a reference to [[StrongBadZone]], then you should probably post it here instead.

When something is posted here, you can vote on it. You should be logged in and sign your vote; anonymous votes do not count because it is easy for a single user to cast multiple votes. Signing your post with the name of another user in the hopes that it won't be noticed will definitely not be tolerated. This only applies to votes: fun facts may be proposed by any user and do not have to be signed (in fact, it is probably better not to sign them).

If the admins like a fun fact, they will immediately move it to the appropriate page as needed (regardless of votes). If they don't, they will wait a while until the fun fact has accumulated enough votes or a convincing argument is made.

If (and only if) you think a page needs this process, add <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts}}</nowiki></tt> directly under the <tt>== Fun Facts ==</tt> heading, then add the appropriate heading to this page. If the list is very long, you may want to add a <tt><nowiki>{{funfacts2}}</nowiki></tt> footer to the end of the list as well.
[[Category:HRWiki Maintenance]]
== Voting ==
New votes cast should generally be as follows:
* '''Accept.''' To accept a fun fact as-is, or possibly with very minor changes.
* '''Revise.''' The fun fact needs minor editing. Explain what needs to be changed (unless seconding another person's revise vote).
* '''Rewrite.''' The fun fact needs major changes. Explain what needs to be changed, and provide an example version. ''When an example is provided, it may be voted on independently. If somebody responds to a "rewrite" vote with "rewrite" as well, it will be taken to mean that the rewrite itself needs to be rewritten.''
* '''Decline.''' Reject the fun fact completely. Please keep in mind not everything is on this page simply to be Declined.
* '''Second.''' Write this as a sub-item to somebody else's vote when you want to make it clear that you agree not only with the person's vote, but his reasoning. (Don't respond to a "second" with a "third"; just make another "second" alongside the first one.)

The terms '''delete''' and '''keep''' are now discouraged because they convey the wrong idea: we will be voting mostly on whether to accept new fun facts, rather than on whether to retain existing ones.

'''Remember:''' you must be logged in to vote. If you don't have an account, [[Special:Userlogin|create one]]. It won't bite you.

You must sign the listing or vote added after your comment with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). If you don't, your vote will not be counted.

== To be done ==

* How to distinguish between an approved fun fact and a directly-added fun fact on a page. Users would not be allowed to try and pass off their fun facts as approved if they weren't. ([[User:furrykef|furrykef]]'s current idea: tag each approved fun fact with a small star icon or other appropriate image.)
* Where, exactly, rejected fun facts and their recorded votes should go (probably on a subpage here)
**Right now they are in [[HRWiki:Select The Usable Fun Facts Archive]]
**Or they're being moved to the talk pages for the e-mails/toons in question. We're not sure yet.

====All the Swears...====

Just before the record stops playing (in the Easter egg) it says "Lesson 2: All the swears."

*'''Hey, what about this fun fact. Is it crappy or is it crappy. Y'know, 'cuz it's crappy.''' If Homestarrunner.com was a website with only '''silent''' cartoons, this fun fact would be acceptable, but it is noted in the easter egg transcript and is easily heard. [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] May 19 2005
** This isn't in Fun Facts. It's IN the Easter Egg transcript. So '''Accept and leave it where it is!!!''' --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:30, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''I'm okay if you're okay''' We're STUFFing parts of the transcript now?!? C'mon folks, don't get trigger happy on me. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*Would anyone mind if I '''removed this from STUFF''' because it's '''already in the transcript'''? <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 07:07, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
**Not at all, please do so.

=== [[theme park]] ===

====Raffi====

Strong Bad's reading of the name as 'Rafi' might be an obscure reference to a Canadian children's entertainer, [http://www.raffinews.com/ Raffi].
*''Moved in here because it's a 'might be'.'' [[User:EDY-innit|EDY-innit]] 16:33, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''No, i'm sorry. The correct answer, was Declined.''' [[User:EDY-innit|EDY-innit]] 16:46, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Weak Decline.''' I'm not that worked-up about this one. He would probably have typed Raffi if he meant to refer to Raffi. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 16:53, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''decline''' Don't like the "might be" (never do) but this one at least is plausible. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*"Might be" and "obscure" don't work for me, sorry. Although it has a small likeliness, I doubt it. '''Decline.''' -- SBEmail22
*'''Accept''' because seriously I gotta accept ''one'' of these things, right? [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 02:19, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

====Fireball====

The Bowels of Trogdor might be a reference to the now obsolete ride, Fireball, at Morey's Piers in Wildwood, NJ.

====EWW! Trogdor's Bowels!====
Roller coasters don't usually have circular loops on them like the Bowels of Trogdor, because the G-forces involved, indeed, usually cause people to pass out. No one usually catches fire, though.

*'''Decleated! I mean, Da Cheated! I mean Del Taco!''' Actually, I've ridden on a roller coaster type thing (called "The Loop") in which the only track was a circle (Shaped like this > '''O'''). But, we unfortunately ''didn't'' catch fire. *Sigh.* [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]]

*'''Decline''' Though most loops nowadays are tear-shaped, there are some roller coasters with circular loops. The intensity of the ride boasts a more thrilling coaster. The only real concern with circular loops is that there's a greater chance of riders falling out at the top, but that can be avoided if proper safety measures are taken. - [[User:Song from 60s|Song from 60s]] 07:26, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

====Stnank or Not?====

Technically, Strong Bad didn't make the "stnank" in sisters, the Tandy deleted the email without Strong Bad telling it to.

*'''Decline.''' To quote, "Well, while I've never actually made a mistake, there have been a few, let's call 'em "stnanks," that could be worthy of a do-over."

====A Type of Bad Grammar====
This is the first email in which we see a type of DELETED on The Lappy.

*'''Brraaap! Declinated'''. Comment on it if you like but you shouldn't say it's a "type of DELETED" because 1) It doesn't say DLETED!!, 2) It doesn't delete anything and 3) That's bad grammars.
*'''Decline''' Y'all have said it all -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]][[User talk:Tony Stony|talk]]

*'''Surprised at your lack of a good Fun Fact, Declined.''' It does sort of remind you of a DELETED screen, but unless you see the word DELETED, it's not a DELETED screen.

*'''Decline''' It wasn't a DELETED, it was a 'do over', you can tell because Strong Bad re-does the email instead of just trashing it. [[User:The_Pardack|The Pardack]]

====Falling for You====
When Homestar comments "I think I'm falling for you", it's a reference to the Weezer song "Falling For You" off the Pinkerton album.

*This is a generic sentence that I've heard plenty of times outside Weezer songs - I've left it on do over in case, though.

====Bang On The Drum====
When Homestar hits the drum, it changes pitch, but a real drum could not do this without adjustment. Knowing that Homestar's "arms" are invisible, he may be doing this and it can't be noticed.
*THIS was in the remarks it seams useless to me don't change it is in the remarks on the page for DO OVER allred this is just caliging it

====Change of Pace====

Homestar eating coins might be a reference to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Guy Family Guy] episode that aired the night before this email was released, in which Peter Griffin also ate coins and made a very similar jingling sound.

*'''Accept-erson''' I actually saw Family Guy the night before this email was released and I thought about it as a watched this email. And considering the fact that [[TBC]] make updates (in this case, the new email) late Sunday night or early Monday morning (usually), it is a possibility. I mean, TBC seem like the kinda funny dudes who watch those kind of shows, like me. 8-P [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]]
*'''Decline.''' I'd think this would have been in the works for awhile. But, I did read in one of the interviews that they stick jokes in at the last minute. Still, I think it's a stretch. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 20:33, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept''' I was just about to say that! Given the timing and Homestar's comment about being "jingly" ("tell me that doesn't sound like camp town races!") make me believe it. [[User:unknownwarrior33|unknownwarrior33]] 21:10, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''DO OVER!!!''' I'm willing to chalk this one up to coincidence without some more solid evidence (okay, okay, I didn't watch it, but it SOUNDS like it's the sort of thing I'd normally call a coincidence.) --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 21:24, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept''' As soon as I saw this, I immediately thought Family Guy, the timing is way too much of a coincedence, and the Brothers do e-mails on Sundays usually, especially since this one wasnt even up until later today, rather than early in the morning like usual. The brothers seem like the type who would watch Family Guy too. --[[User:Dex|Dex]] 21:28, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' I would count this as a very bizzare coincidence...while it may be a reference, I doubt that TBC would have much time to put it in, and if they did if they cared so much...besides, TBC is not especially known to steal jokes from other shows. Reference them maybe, but it was essentially the same joke. --[[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]][[User talk:Tony Stony|talk]]
*'''Accept.''' <s>I haven't made up my mind.</s> Although, if all the coins were ''nickels'', then it would be more clear-cut... — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:04, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept''' and a minor '''rewrite'''-or at least a couple of fixes while I'm looking at it. I saw the same episode, and it seems like a reference to me. The timing's too good to make it unlikely. As for the rewrite, just stick 'aired' after 'episode' (doesn't sound right to me without it) and replace 'where' with 'in which' And Griffin has two Fs. [[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]] 23:25, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
**Since these changes don't affect the substance of the fact, we'd might as well go ahead and make them.
*Accept You theif!!! I wanted to say this. Oh well. --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]
*Why do you people think that TBC would reference the show, considering that the majority of Homestarrunner.com does not contain references to other pop culture shows and their jokes, especially not to the extent of stealing a joke. (after all it seems that the joke was not so much a reference as a direct steal if it was)....
**To the person who didn't sign their name: Uh... let me see here, Cheat Commandos is a huge reference to G.I. Joe, which was part of pop culture and is still a well-known character/franchise, Bug In Mouth Disease alludes to Dallas, pizzaz makes a Seinfeld reference, montage makes a big Rocky reference. As such, I have to disagree when you say HSR makes no references to pop culture. Granted, some of the many are no longer in pop culture, and some are dated, but one cannot say that there are no pop culture references. [[User:Suicune64|Suicune64]] 01:55, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
***Sorry about that, I forgot to hit the ~s. Now I was not saying that Homestarrunner.com never makes pop culture references...There are dozens, as TBC are big into pop culture in general. All I am saying is that the examples listed above parody or make fun of or at least ellaborate on pop culture. Not so with the alleged Family Guy reference. That seems to be (a) Not anywhere near as obvious as the others and (b) pretty much the same joke that Family Guy used. I personally would assume that TBC would be original enough to make up their own jokes, not use others, and I think there is a large difference in referencing and stealing the entire joke. Besides, I doubt they had enough time to anyway. I still think it is a coincidence. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]][[User talk:Tony Stony|talk]]
***On the other hand, it was posted one day after the episode aired, which is why I accepted this when I would normally decline --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]
* In ''The Dilbert Future'' by Scott Adams, Scott has a chapter where he talks about ideas, and how sometimes they can come off as not-original. He wrote a chapter about security cameras in public places and when he turned on his T.V there was a report on the exact same thing. He wrote a comic with a joke about a fake opera singer called "Placebo Domingo" and when he opened his newspaper there was a comic with the same exact joke. I guess what I'm saying is...its a coincidence. Don't be so quick to accept just because of that. This one should never have been STUFF'D, just deleted. '''Decline from school''' [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

*'''Accept.''' Considering this email came out the day after the new Family Guy aired and it contained a very similar gag (even though Homestar didn't go blind from nickel poisoning), I'd say there's a good chance that this was an intentional reference.

* Okay look, if the e-mail had been posted a week or more after the Family Guy episode, this wouldn't even be an issue, it would've just been shrugged off as a similiar gag and not a reference.

====Grammatically Incorrect====

Right before Strong Bad talks about mistakes, he makes two grammatical mistakes. "Alright" is improper, as it is a misspelling of "all right". Additionally, "What would I do different?" is improper adjective/adverb use (should be "differently").
*<s>'''Accept''', yeah ok. makes sense to me</s> Actually, no. "Alright" is more or less an acceptable word. Besides, who says Strong Bad doesn't use slang? '''Decline'''-- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]][[User talk:Tony Stony|talk]]
*Decline Nitpicky is this not? Who cares? If this were called "select the usable BORING facts, maybe. --[[User:AnarchyBalsac|AnarchyBalsac]]
*'''Decline''' Alright, is actually considered proper nowadays. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Accept first''' but '''Decline second''' The first one is good because it is incorrect and he uses it twice in the email, but the second one is the same thing that the sender emailed. And I dont think the part about "Right before Strong Bad talks about mistakes" is important either. I guess my vote should be a Rewrite, but I can't think of a good way to write it right now.
*'''Decline''' I use "alright" all the time. -- '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]''''' 10:42, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

But only Lucky Charms has the spokesperson (i.e. the person of whom the cereal belongs to) trying to not get caught. I am still unsure but I think its a valid fact, though whether it is fun or not remains to be seen. But if he is not paradying anything..it seems like a non sequitur...Just a comment --[[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]][[User talk:Tony Stony|talk]]00:43, 14 May 2005 (UTC)(<s>Changed decline vote to '''Neutral'''</s>)

*'''Revise and Accept''' They never actually say that Strong Sad searched Google, but I think it can be safely inferred, in which case I think this is one awesomely fun fact. I think it's also safe to assume that TBC did the search and knew what it was that they were indirectly referencing... and even if they didn't, I think it's worth recording, since future fans will likely be curious as to what was on the other side of the "blue ones" search when the toon was released. It should be revised, however, to say "At the approximate time that the toon was released..." since the search result is almost certain to change relatively soon. - Dingell

***I think it's a funny coincidence. I don't think TBC had it in mind, but it's an interesting observation. It should at least be put on the discussion page of Bug In Mouth Disease for people to see. And as said before, that picture won't always come up on a google image search for "blue ones", so it should be edited to "At the time this toon first came out..." --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
**** But WHY would the Elijah Wood pic have to be singled out? Nobody has given one good reason as to why beyond "its interesting". Thats not a reason, thats an opinion. This fact has no place on the wiki. If people are curious, let them do their own image search. Or better yet, just post a link to google's results for "blue ones" and we can be done with this damned fun fact. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*****I have *yet* to figure out why this is so fascinating to people. If you page through the results, there's a picture of girls in bikinis.

Maybe there's some kinda Frodo-voodoo thang goin' on here. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 17:04, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
******It's fascinating because many people like "strange but true" facts, especially considering (A) you wouldn't expect to find the picture using that particular search, (B) it's almost the very first result, (C) Elijah Wood is well known, and (D) the picture is kinda creepy. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:48, 12 May 2005 (UTC) — ''P.S.''

*******However, a picture of girls in bikinis would be better attributed to fact that Strong Sad got "nothing pleasant" [[User:Nosmorking|No Smorking]] 19:39, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Comment.''' The picture in question could be uploaded to the wiki. Then, it wouldn't matter whether the original eventually wasn't on the first page of Google's results, because we could just link to our copy.
**No! NO! Stop it! Back off! Back the F*** off! IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT COMES UP ON THE "BLUE ONES" GOOGLE SEARCH. THEY WERE NOT TALKING ABOUT ELIJAH WOOD. Whats worse, if you do image searches at Lycos.com or Altavista.com the Frodo pic? Doesn't come up. Sorry, "being sort of weird" doesn't entitle the fact to be placed on the Wiki. And NOBODY has answered my question for why this is relevent to the toon other than "It came up with the google search".[[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
***Why are you yelling? The last I checked, the declines outnumber the accepts nearly 2 to 1; there's no real danger that this fact will make it to the page. Even if the opposite were true, we can still discuss these matters civilly. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:27, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
***To speak to your specific question, somebody out there (not me) wondered what Strong Sad would have found (if Strong Sad were real) when he searched for "blue ones". The Elijah Wood picture was what he or she found and, being sufficiently strange, qualified as "nothing pleasant" to this unknown originator and to at least a few of us as well. It's a tenuous link, perhaps, but that's what STUFF is for. That's why I put my version ''here'' first, not on the page itself. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:27, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
****Because its annoying listening to acceptors accepting this fact based on "its kinda weird". The "nothing pleasent anyway" is meant to be a generic statement. They most likely didn't have anything in mind when they made it. There are other fun facts where the declines are overwhealming and people are still being rude.

*** But it still isn't relevent. Like I said, they didn't specify a search engine and the Frodo pic only shows up on Google. I'm not even sure why its interesting at all. "Blue ones" causes Frodo to come up '''because his eyes are blue'''. Its not weird. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

Obviously the paranormal/normal investigator is an independant joke, not relevant here. I think the idea of Bubs attending a Strong Bad class is funny enough to keep it.

====Grandma's Stories====
The line "Can't you see Grandma's watching her stories?" may be a reference to a Saturday Night Live comedy skit, where Adam Sandler plays a Grandmother who enjoys a television series named "My Story".
*'''Decline''' This is another case of thinking a similar joke on the same phenomenon is the origin of the joke itself. "My stories" is simply how some people refer to the soap operas they watch. Heck, George Carlin makes reference to that in an album from the '70s, and that's not the origin either -- it's just that sweet English language in action again.

In episode 2, Ryan S. goes to pick up a message (aka "treemail" on the show). While picking it up, he says, "The treemail, the treemail, wha wha the treemail," a play on the opening to [[techno]].

'''(B)'''The "Ryan S." on the box of General Tso's chicken is a reference to [[Ryan Sterritt]], a friend of the Brothers Chaps who has helped with the website in the past.

**'''Second''' The Ryan S. on Survivor is a good refrence (TBC could easily watch survivor), but is a dircet refrence to techno, not theme park, move it. Also, accept the second as it could be just as good and just as likely.
**Given that there's DEFINITELY a "Ryan S." on General Tso's Chicken and that it's not terribly likely to just be some random name they came up with, I'd say there's relevance enough. --[[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 04:27, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Accept Both''' -- [[User:Joshua|Joshua]]

*'''Accept Both''' -- They're both reasonable enough to mention. As a big fan of Survivor, I'd love to accept A and decline B, but I must say that B seems a bit more likely, given that A is a connection that few people would make (Ryan S. appeared on the show a total of three times), whereas B would at least be noticed by the "Ryan S." in question. Who knows for sure... but it must be a reference to something, so we should provide some hypothetical explanation. - Dingell

====Computer miscommunications====
At the beginning of the email, Strong Bad tells Compy not to give him any cross talk. This is refering to the transient signal interference that comes from two wires running parallel to each other which can cause erroneous signals to be sent/received. (I welcome rewrite suggestions)

*'''Revise.''' Uhh...I ''sort of'' catch your meaning. -[[User:BurninatorBoombox&Markie|MK and/or BurnBox]] 04:03, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

*'''Revise.''' Just say "Crosstalk referes to the transient...etc". [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**'''Second''', to all of the above. --SBEmail22 8:42 PM, 5 May 2005 (EST)
*'''Revise''' You can use this or not, I don't care, but when he said "cross talk," I always assumed it meant something more along the lines of "sassin' back", or being generally argumentative and uncooperative. But if that means what you said it means, then that could be a reference, too. [[User:GillanTheVillain|GillanTheVillain]] 05:08, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''Weak Decline.''' I assumed that as well. And yes, "crosstalk" DOES mean that, but I don't think it applies here - I think it's just an odd coincidence. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 14:34, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' Since it's more of an electrical engineering and telephony term rather than a computer term, I'm inclined to think this wasn't intentional. --[[User:Beatfox|Beatfox]] 20:14, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**'''Comment''' I disagree. I think that's exactly why he said "crosstalk" to the Compy. Otherwise he would have said "cut the sass" or something to that effect without using the word "crosstalk". --[[User:NFITC1|NFITC1]]
*'''Revise.''' Should go something like this: --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 14:57, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC) 
<pre>At the beginning of the e-mail, Strong Bad tells the Compy not to give
him any crosstalk. Crosstalk is when a signal transmitted on two parallel
wires creates an undesired effect (in this case, the Compy saying, "Cut
it out, you."</pre>
*'''Exobably not.''' I think he's just telling his Compy to cut the sass. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 13:04, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**So you think they just pulled the term "crosstalk" out of thin air? I'd say this is definitely an '''Accept''', preferably with some small revisions to the sentence structure. - Dingell
***Not really. I realize crosstalk is a computer term, and SB might as well, but it seems that he's using it in the way I described above. I don't know if that makes sense. [[User:Rudeboy87|Rudeboy87]] 14:54, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
****The fact doesn't say the reason why they used the phrase, it just explains what the technical definition for crosstalk. Dingell is right, its use (whether they used it properly or not) is not a coincidence. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

====A legendary voice, you screech?====
The voice of the Commander is almost certainly a reference to the legendary voice-work of the late Chris Latta, best known as the voices of Starscream from Transformers and Cobra Commander from G.I. Joe.

**Not much of a difference in my eyes, but isn't that more of a "revise" than "decline"? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 19:15, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
**The key difference is that one is a reference to a concept, the other a specific person so '''Decline'''. Isn't there already a fact stating CC is a GI Joe parody? [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
**Nope, it's a straight decline. Leave out the reference to the man and you're left with "The voice of BLC is a reference to Cobra Commander from G.I. Joe". I thought that was already a well-established fact. -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:19, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

*Guys, I think some of you are misinterpreting the point of my STUFF here. Obviously CC is a GI Joe clone. I don't need to tell you that.

[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 02:49, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
*'''ACCEPT.''' This one really is a no-brainer. Cobra Commander has a ''very'' distinctive voice, and Matt is clearly mimicking it.

***But by imitating Cobra Commander's voice, you are by necessity also imitating Chris Latta.

1-Up getting a green nosebleed is a nod to the [[Wikipedia:Nosebleed#Nosebleeds in fiction|anime cliche]] that excited or aroused people get nosebleeds or "hanaji".

With sounds synced to "Event" (the default) if it plays too slowly on an old computer it just takes longer to play, making the sound lose sync. I guess they just forgot to turn it on this time. Perhaps "The sounds for Strong Bad singing and the planes rushing past are not set as Streaming audio, and can lose sync on slower computers" would work as a Fun Fact? Actually the harp for Downloads is the only sound that is streamed, but these are the only two you can notice.

:He also bears a resemblance to [[Wikipedia:The Great Gazoo|the Great Gazoo]] from The Flintstones.

:He appears to be saying 'Muddle me twice' at the begining of his line, which is similar to Batman villain The Riddler's (in his various incarnations) catchphrase of 'riddle me this'.

==== Alternative vs. Hair Metal ====
The dialog at the end of the cartoon about Limozeen (who are parody of 80's Hair Metal Bands) being kicked off the charts by an Alternative band that has a girl as a bassist, etc. is most likely a reference to the fact that by the early 1990's people were tired of the excesses of Hair Metal bands and the popularity of that genre was already on the wane. Alternative Rock bands like Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins and Weezer (SP had 2 female bassists, Weezer's lead singer wears glasses) which were generally considered by many music critics to be smarter, hipper and closer to the roots of what rock is all about, put the nail in the coffin of the L.A.

Since no one can apparently agree to a consensus on this one, I'll try a revised version.

The mentioning of Limozeen being kicked off the charts by an alternative band with a girl bassist references the death of hair metal in the early '90s, when bands like Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins (who actually had a girl bassist) were able to have success.

==== Homestar's Clock ====
It is unclear how Homestar's clock could even differentiate between 10:00 am and 10:00 pm -- usually analog clocks have a light or indicator when it is night time, but Homestar's clock has none.

*First of all, ''analog'' clocks usually don't have an indicator, and Homestar's clock is called a ''digital'' clock. Second of all, most people can tell whether it is AM or PM by looking outside. --24.21.86.243 10:00, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise and accept''' Not in Alaska.
*'''Revise and accept''' first of all, this IS a electric analog clock, uses small wheels inside with the numbers, i've seen this style before, also there is no indicator on this model but not all of them have it, normally they use a ssmall ne-2 indicator lamp with a 56k series resistor, he can tell am/pm by looking outside the window behind the clock but where are the buttons to set the alarm if any and when did you hear any alarm or see him shut it off? <nowiki>~~Frogz~~</nowiki>
**You know alot about clocks.
*'''Revise and accept''' What matters isn't whether Homestar can tell if it's AM or PM. He claims that he accidentally set the alarm for PM instead of AM, but how could he do that if the clock can't tell the difference between AM and PM? That's what's weird. (Frogz: Alarm buttons might be on back, and the music could be a short alarm.)

*'''Accept''' However, I think another important thing is the fact that if the clock does not have an AM/PM indicator, then Homestar would have had to set him clock after 10 AM (because, obviously, you can't set a clock like that any more than 12 hours in advance), further proving how...ahem... absent-minded he is.
*'''Decline''' I think we're trying to make a very complicated issue out of a very subtle joke - with no indicator, he COULDN'T have set it for AM or PM, in which case, his statement isn't false, it's just stupid... which isn't surprising coming from Homestar. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 20:43, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)

==== A running gag? ====
The Ah-tpoo! noise Homestar makes when spitting into the bucket has become a bit of a running gag. It starts in Halloween Fairstival with the noise he makes when he tries to hold his breath. It resurfaces again in "Montage" with his "Hi-Ya!" during the Champeenship scene. He performs another variation in "Radio" when he throws his highball glass at the radio. He exclaims "High-Ball!".

**'''Second''' --[[homestarkid09|homestarkid09]]
* '''Revise and Accept''' I believe what the fact is TRYING to say is that Homestar uses the reverse emphasis on his action speech. For example, with "High-Ball!" from Radio, if one were winding up to throw a glass, one would exclaim, "High, BALL!" Instead, Homestar reverses it: "HIGH Ball.". He does the same in many of these two syllable action phrases. It's a character quirk that I think is straddling the line between obscurity and popularity, it's most definitely intentional, and it'll probably be back. --[[User:Noshtzy|Noshtzy]]

The fact that Gaspeau (red) and Frotzer (blue) are almost the same exact enemies may be a reference to the old Zelda games where an enemy could be red or blue and that the blue version of the enemy was always harder.

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

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

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

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

===''The Geek Show''===
On "[http://www.thegeekshow.com/ The Geek Show]", [[Strong Bad Email]]s are frequently shown as an example of "What's funny on the internet"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AMANDA: I invoke a time flux on Trogdor.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This article also mentioned the upcoming DVDs.

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

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

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

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

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,

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

James
Detroit Mi</pre>

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

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

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

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

''{The Cheat says something}''

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

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

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

''{The Cheat knocks over the lamp, breaking it. A light turns on and Homestar comes out. He is wearing pajamas, and it appears he hasn't shaved. Strong Bad looks hastily for an escape and The Cheat puts his hands in the air.}''

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

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

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

''{cuts back to the computer}''

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

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

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

'''STRONG MAD:''' DEAD!

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

'''STRONG SAD:''' Dead!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{The Cheat says something}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*Homestar's comment, "Hey, Strong Sad. Batman," may be referring to The Cheat's pose when Homestar walks in. With his arms in the air, he resembles the comic book character's mask in silhouette.
===Trivia===
*The answer to the Jumble is "UN TACO", and the scrambled words spell "This is a difficult one".
*This is the one of the only times when Homestar is wearing a different shirt, besides in 20X6, 1936, [[Superbowl Dealie]], a [[flashback]] easter egg, [[montage]], and [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].

[[Image:alienwithbat.PNG|thumb|Thomas... with a bat!]][[Image:Baby Thomas.JPG|thumb|Teeny Tiny Thomas]]
'''Thomas''' is a small alien creature from [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Category:Foreign_Lands Foreign Lands] that appears in [[Teen Girl Squad]] episodes. He first makes his apperance in Teen Girl Squad Issue 2, when he hits [[What's Her Face]] in the knees with a bat.

He's also a skateboarding pro, as shown by his '''''Late 360 Shove it to Boneless!!...'d!!''''' in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 5]].

It has been suggested that Thomas and What's Her Face are dating. Evidences for such a relationship include:
* Thomas, possibly out of jealousy, hits What's Her Face with the bat in Teen Girl Squad Issue 2 directly after she thinks she has a chance with the [[No I in Team Boy]].
* In [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]], Teeny Tiny What's Her Face thinks she has a chance with the younger Thomas.

== TELEVISION ==

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

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

===''The Geek Show''===
On "[http://www.thegeekshow.com/ The Geek Show]", [[Strong Bad Email]]s are frequently shown as an example of "What's funny on the internet"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AMANDA: I invoke a time flux on Trogdor.

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

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

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

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

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

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

=== ''Pulse Interview'' ===
In early 2004 the show Pulse on G4TechTV talked with the Brothers Chaps, and asked them about their new game that they are developing for the Atari 2600. They showed many video clips of their Atari game. The Chaps told about how they record their voices and how successful they have been. They announced that later this year they are going to release a DVD with the First 100 emails. Later after the commercial break they went to interview the company that is developing the Homestar Runner game. The company was Videlectrix of course. The whole interview was weird because you could tell that the Videlectrix owner was just one of the Brothers Chaps in a mustache but the whole making an Atari game was real. (I don't know if you can find any of this episode on the internet but I did record it, but I don't know how I would be able to put it on the internet. Contact me at corneli23@hotmail.com if you want to)

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

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

=== ''The Rock''===
There was also a quote from [http://www.homestarrunner.com/vcr_sb.html strong bad's interview] on a La Crosse, Wisconson radio station called "95.7 The Rock." It goes from the part
where strong bad says "ladys form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high-fives" and stops at the part where homestar says "Well, was going to get a

== TELEVISION ==

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

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

===''The Geek Show''===
On "[http://www.thegeekshow.com/ The Geek Show]", [[Strong Bad Email]]s are frequently shown as an example of "What's funny on the internet"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

AMANDA: I invoke a time flux on Trogdor.

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

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

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

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

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

=== ''Pulse Interview'' ===
In early 2004 the show Pulse on G4TechTV talked with the Brothers Chaps, and asked them about their new game that they are developing for the Atari 2600. They showed many video clips of their Atari game. The Chaps told about how they record their voices and how successful they have been. They announced that later this year they are going to release a DVD with the First 100 emails. Later after the commercial break they went to interview the company that is developing the Homestar Runner game. The company was Videlectrix of course. The whole interview was weird because you could tell that the Videlectrix owner was just one of the Brothers Chaps in a mustache but the whole making an Atari game was real. (I don't know if you can find any of this episode on the internet but I did record it, but I don't know how I would be able to put it on the internet. Contact me at corneli23@hotmail.com if you want to)

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

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

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

'''Strong Bad Email #97'''

Strong Bad is asked to create a monument in his own image. He goes on to explain how the arrival of the Thnikkaman distracted him and prevented the completion of the monument.

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

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oh traipsing along, traipsing traipsing along, and a email got stuck in my eye.

''{reading}''

<pre>Hey there Strong Bad!
I was thinking since so many people
and ladies think you're SUPER COOL,
why not build a monument to yourself
for all to enjoy?

Another fan,
Kaitlin G.</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm assuming the G stands for generally overused girl's first name. Well generic name, you're really onto something here. Turns out I AM super cool. ''{clears his throat.}'' As for monuments, I already got one. But it's kinda ''{clears screen, continues typing}'' only of my right foot. You might know it better as DUN DUN DAAA: The Strongbadia Sign!

''{Cut to the [[Stop Sign]], then to a picture of Strong Bad. As he narrates, a diagram of the monument is built.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Yeah there were big plans once. It was to be made of the finest materials. On a massive scale that would rival the Aztecs and their... techno-chocolate land.

''{Cut back to [[Compy 386]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Anyways, we lost our funding or public interest waned or something distracted me. Man, what was it? What could possibly have distracted me from ''{mumbling}'' humbera hum...

''{Cut to Strong Badia, where Strong Bad and The Cheat are building the monument.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah, The Cheat. That totally looks like my right foot. It's got all the rightness of a foot without all the footdom of a right.

'''UNSEEN CHORUS:''' ''{singing}'' Here comes the Thnikkaman!!! ''{These words float across the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No way! Check it out The Cheat. ''{Strong Bad looks and points off-screen.}'' It's the Thnikkaman!! ''{Strong Bad and The Cheat run to meet the Thnikkaman, who is obviously Bubs wearing sunglasses and a "TH" sign taped to his chest.}'' Hey Thnikkaman!

'''THNIKKAMAN:''' Hey, kid!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Can we have some?

'''THNIKKAMAN:''' Yeah, ok.

'''STRONG BAD and THE CHEAT (in Cheat-speak):''' Thanks, Thnikkaman!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in low voice, perhaps translating for The Cheat}'' Thanks, Thnikkaman.

'''THNIKKAMAN:''' Yeah. ''{takes off his sunglasses}'' Shut up, kid!

'''UNSEEN CHORUS:''' ''{singing}'' There goes the Thnikkaman!!! ''{Now these words float across the screen}''

''{Thnikkaman exits. Cut back to Compy 386.}}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So you can see why I got distracted. I'd like to see you stay on task when you're starin' down the barrel of a loaded Thnikkaman. I don't care what you're doin. No one can resist. ''{not typing}'' Speakin' of monuments, somebody should make one to the Thnikkaman. Oh the things that man does! Come to think of it, what exactly ''does'' that man do? ''{typing again}'' Anyways, I'm gonna go try and find some of that Technochocolate. That stuff sounds a-prettypretty good!

''{Strong Bad gets up from his seat and leaves. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on "I don't care what you're doing" at the end to see Homestar Runner being distracted by the Thnikkaman.

[[Image:sbemail97.png|thumb|"On a massive scale that would rival the Aztecs"]]

'''Strong Bad Email #97'''

Strong Bad is asked to create a monument in his own image. He goes on to explain how the arrival of the Thnikkaman distracted him and prevented the completion of the monument.

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

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oh traipsing along, traipsing traipsing along, and a email got stuck in my eye.

''{reading}''

<pre>Hey there Strong Bad!
I was thinking since so many people
and ladies think you're SUPER COOL,
why not build a monument to yourself
for all to enjoy?

Another fan,
Kaitlin G.</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm assuming the G stands for generally overused girl's first name. Well generic name, you're really onto something here. Turns out I AM super cool. ''{clears his throat.}'' As for monuments, I already got one. But it's kinda ''{clears screen, continues typing}'' only of my right foot. You might know it better as DUN DUN DAAA: The Strongbadia Sign!

''{Cut to the [[Stop Sign]], then to a picture of Strong Bad. As he narrates, a diagram of the monument is built.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Yeah there were big plans once. It was to be made of the finest materials. On a massive scale that would rival the Aztecs and their... techno-chocolate land.

''{Cut back to [[Compy 386]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Anyways, we lost our funding or public interest waned or something distracted me. Man, what was it? What could possibly have distracted me from ''{mumbling}'' humbera hum...

''{Cut to Strong Badia, where Strong Bad and The Cheat are building the monument.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah, The Cheat. That totally looks like my right foot. It's got all the rightness of a foot without all the footdom of a right.

'''UNSEEN CHORUS:''' ''{singing}'' Here comes the Thnikkaman!!! ''{These words float across the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No way! Check it out The Cheat. ''{Strong Bad looks and points off-screen.}'' It's the Thnikkaman!! ''{Strong Bad and The Cheat run to meet the Thnikkaman, who is obviously Bubs wearing sunglasses and a "TH" sign taped to his chest.}'' Hey Thnikkaman!

'''THNIKKAMAN:''' Hey, kid!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Can we have some?

'''THNIKKAMAN:''' Yeah, ok.

'''STRONG BAD and THE CHEAT (in Cheat-speak):''' Thanks, Thnikkaman!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in low voice, perhaps translating for The Cheat}'' Thanks, Thnikkaman.

'''THNIKKAMAN:''' Yeah. ''{takes off his sunglasses}'' Shut up, kid!

'''UNSEEN CHORUS:''' ''{singing}'' There goes the Thnikkaman!!! ''{Now these words float across the screen}''

''{Thnikkaman exits. Cut back to Compy 386.}}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So you can see why I got distracted. I'd like to see you stay on task when you're starin' down the barrel of a loaded Thnikkaman. I don't care what you're doin. No one can resist. ''{not typing}'' Speakin' of monuments, somebody should make one to the Thnikkaman. Oh the things that man does! Come to think of it, what exactly ''does'' that man do? ''{typing again}'' Anyways, I'm gonna go try and find some of that Technochocolate. That stuff sounds a-prettypretty good!

''{Strong Bad gets up from his seat and leaves. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

'''Strong Bad Email #116'''

[[Strong Bad]] shows us his awesome new [[Lectric Boots| 'Lectric Boots]].

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

'''Date:''' October 11, 2004

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Ow ow ow... ow ow oww... ow ow owww... email...

''{reading}''

<pre>Dear S to the B,
I noticed that you always have an
extra plug socket open under your
desk. Isn't there something cool you
could plug in there?
Simcity,
Justin Corcoran, MASS</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Awww, I HATE getting these mass emails! ''{typing}'' REMOVE ME! UNSUBSCRIBE! TAKE ME OFFA LIST! ''{clears screen, continues typing}'' Well HUGE to the DORK, your timing couldn't be more perfect, as I just received my new electric boots in the mail today. Check out these features.

''{Strong Bad stops typing and produces a box of 'Lectric Boots}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No fewer than 8 lights flashing at any given time! Whisper quiet, and, uh, check out that guy dancing with that hot girl. That's gonna be ME at the club ''{he pronounces it "cl�b", a mix between "club" and "cloob"}'', and the hot girl will be The Cheat! Er, I mean, an actual hot girl! ''{speaking as the guy on the box}'' Hey there, fruit pie... the magician. Wanna dance? ''{speaking as the girl on the box}'' Yes, I would like to be your girlfriend based solely on your awesome boots.

''{Strong Bad sets the box on his desk. We pull back and see that Strong Bad is wearing the electric boots, with The Cheat under the desk near the empty socket}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Alright, The Cheat, let's do this.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{cheat noises that sound like "OK!"}''

''{The Cheat plugs in the boots, causing the lights on the boots to come on and a loud, vacuum-cleaner-like humming to start. The Cheat puts his hands over his ears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{shouting over the noise}'' Whoa! Check out those lights! They're flashing!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Questioning cheat noises, shouting}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{shouting}'' I said check out the flashing lights!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Questioning cheat noises, shouting}''

''{The Cheat leaves the room}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{shouting}'' Hey, where are you going? Wait up!

''{Strong Bad gets up and walks to follow The Cheat, until he reaches the end of his cord}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{shouting}'' I'm gonna need an extension cord!

''{Strong Bad sits back in front of the Compy 386}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing, shouting}'' Attention all interested ladies: Please have electrical sockets installed every 5 feet before inviting me over to your apartment or dormroom. So, I guess I'm awex-

''{The power goes out}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' SOME IS THE REASON WHY - ''{typing, despite power outage}'' Whoa. I guess these boots suck up a lot of energy. Maybe that's what "solid state" means. I suppose I can stop typing now. ''{stops typing}'' I'm gonna need some help finishing this email without power.

''{Cut to the darkened living room. Strong Mad, Strong Sad, and The Cheat appear to be watching TV, and are laughing. Strong Bad walks in}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What are you guys watching?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Shhh!

''{Cut to the TV screen, where a picture of Andy Griffith's head is taped on. Strong Mad, Strong Sad, and The Cheat start laughing again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' You guys are watching a picture of Andy Griffith's head taped to a TV?

''{Cut back to the view of the couch. Homestar walks in}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, has it started yet? I brought some popcorn! ''{produces a popcorn bag containing a bottle of Mountain Dew}'' DANG, Strong Bad, I like your boots.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, I'm going to need some help finishing up this email. Will somebody give me a hand?

'''STRONG MAD:''' WHEN THIS IS OVER!

''{Cut back to the Compy 386. We can hear that the boots are running again. Strong Sad is holding up a piece of black paper in front of the monitor, which he lowers to reveal Strong Bad's "typed" text as Strong Bad is typing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing, shouting}'' well, whatever your name was, the boots are back in action, and so am i. i can already tell they're gonna be a hit when i wear them to da club this weekend. the ladies can't resist flashing lights and an obnoxiously loud hum! ''{stops typing}'' Alright, Strong Mad! Go!

''{The Paper comes down with Strong Mad producing the sound effect. Cut back from Strong Bad's desk to see Strong Mad holding The Cheat upside-down over the Compy 386, with The Cheat holding the paper in his hands. Strong Sad is holding the black piece of paper he used to obscure Strong Bad's text, and Homestar is wrapped in an extension cord leading from Strong Bad's boots elsewhere. A few seconds later, Strong Bad starts speaking}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Way to go, guys! I doubt ANYONE could tell the difference between a regular email and this unplugged email! Now keep holdin' it! Nobody move! Gonna be a long week!

''{A few more seconds later, Homestar starts talking}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{rhythmically}'' I really got. I really gotta pee. I really got. I really gotta pee pee. I really got. I really gotta pee.

''{Strong Sad joins Homestar}''

'''STRONG SAD AND HOMESTAR:''' ''{rhythmically}'' I really got. I really gotta pee pee. I really got. I really gotta pee. I really got. I really gotta pee pee.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That is a disgusting song.

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on either of Strong Bad's boots to see Strong Bad and The Cheat at Club Technochocolate.
:''{Strong Bad and The Cheat are at Club Technochocolate. Strong Bad dancing wearing his 'lectric boots near a plugin. The boots are making their usual loud humming noise. The Cheat is standing nearby plugging his ears with a couple glowsticks}''
:'''MUSIC:''' ''{background}'' All is on! Feel it, feel it, feel it, feel it! All is o-
:''{the power goes out}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Alright, The Cheat! Let's keep this party movin'! On to the next club!
:''{Strong Bad unplugs his boots and walks offscreen}''
*Click on the extension cord to see what the 'lectric boots ARE plugged into.
:''{Cut to The King of Town's castle. An extension cord can be seen running from a sparking plugin out a window and into the distance. A sign has been placed near the plugin reading "auxilliary food-related thing. DO NOT UNPLUG!" The King of Town is standing nearby holding a piece of paper}''
:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' This electricity bill is PRETENDOUS!

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*The King of Town's electricity bill is headed 'Lectric Bill to match the boots.
===Remarks===
*Solid State could refer to solid state lighting, but solid state lighting uses energy efficient [[Wikipedia:Light-emitting_diode|Light Emiting Diodes]] (LEDs) rather than conventional incandecent lightbulbs. The lights look like conventional shaped incandecent lightbulbs, and a LEDs can run on portable battery power, so it seems like the boot's advertising could have been more of a lie than it already was.
**It could also mean that the boots are not in a liquid or gaseous state, which would make them hard to wear.
*In the [[Club Technochocolate|Technochocolate]] easter egg, The Cheat appears to be plugging his ears with the glowsticks, which can give us a rough estimated location of his ears beneath all that fur.
*Even though only one of Strong Bad's boots is plugged in, both boots work.
*During the unplugged email, there are burn marks around the free socket under his desk... it seems the boots "fused" when the plug actually melted and/or caught on fire.
*When Strong Bad holds up the box in which his shoes came, his boxing glove covers the contrast knobs, but you can still change his screen contrast through his gloves.
*Although there are black marks around the extra plug under Strong Bad's desk after he blows the power, there are no marks around the plug at [[Club Technochocolate|Technochocolate]] when he blows the power there.
===Goofs===
*Strong Bad's boots stop making noises in the end even though the lights are flashing.
===Glitches===
*The contrast knob on the Compy stops working when Strong Bad addresses "all interested ladies" even though the power is still on.
===Inside References===
*Strong Bad started to spell the word "awexome" before the power went out, a reference to the email [[monster truck]] and [[Awexome Cross]].
*"Dang Strong Bad, I like your boots!" is a reference to the cartoon [[New Boots]].
**Note that Homestar's, The Cheat's, and Strong Bad's relative positions in these two toons remain the same.
*The King of Town's statement about his electric bill being "pretendous" is a reference to the [[Fan Costume Commentary|Strong Bad Fan Costume Commentary.]]
*The "All Is On" song in [[Club Technochocolate]] is from an easter egg in [[for kids]].
*[[Club Technochocolate]] is a reference to the email [[monument]].
*The sound effect of Strong Bad's boots when he is walking is identical to that of [[Stinkoman]]'s boots in [[Under Construction]].
*Homestar singing he has to pee may be a reference to [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]] and/or [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].
*The TV that had [[Wikipedia:Andy Griffith|Andy Griffith]]'s head taped to it was the TV from the old toons menu.
*The [[Wikipedia:Mountain Dew|Mountain Dew]] in Homestar's popcorn bucket is probably a reference to the email [[anything]]. It may also be a play on words (pop in a popcorn bucket).
*The guy on the box has a passing resemblance to [[Senor Cardgage]], specifically the combover, the beard, and the potbelly.
*The Cheat's glowsticks are references to the emails [[techno]] and [[monument]].
===Real-World References===
*The way Strong Bad pronounces 'da club' throughout the e-mail is a reference to 50 Cent's hit single 'In Da Club', where he rounds off the 'u' in the word 'club' the same way.
*The author of this email signed it with ''[[Wikipedia:SimCity | SimCity]]'', which is a popular city-making game series by [[Wikipedia:Maxis|Maxis]] and [[Wikipedia:Electronic_Arts|EA Games]].
*[http://theimaginaryworld.com/pix401.jpg "Fruit Pie the Magician"] is a reference to the mascot for Hostess brand fruit pies.
*The whole "Electric Boots" concept is probably a reference to a lyric on the [[Wikipedia:Elton John|Elton John]] track "Bennie and the Jets".
*"S to the B" is a play on "X to the Z," the nickname of the rapper Xzibit.

Thomas

2005-01-20T23:46:29Z

beanluc: He's not from Far Off Lands - see TGS#7, easter egg.

[[Image:alienwithbat.PNG|thumb|Thomas... with a bat!]][[Image:Baby Thomas.JPG|thumb|Teeny Tiny Thomas]]
'''Thomas''' is a small alien creature from "foreign lands" that appears in [[Teen Girl Squad]] episodes. He first makes his apperance in Teen Girl Squad Issue 2, when he hits [[What's Her Face]] in the knees with a bat.

He's also a skateboarding pro, as shown by his '''''Late 360 Shove it to Boneless!!...'d!!''''' in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 5]].

It has been suggested that Thomas and What's Her Face are dating. Evidences for such a relationship include:
* Thomas, possibly out of jealousy, hits What's Her Face with the bat in Teen Girl Squad Issue 2 directly after she thinks she has a chance with the [[No I in Team Boy]].
* In [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]], Teeny Tiny What's Her Face thinks she has a chance with the younger Thomas.

Bronco Trolleys

2005-01-20T23:36:11Z

beanluc: /* Fun Facts */

[[Image:bronco_t.PNG|thumb|right|220px|A bronco on the trolley]]

'''Bronco Trolleys''' is game that challenges you to make snacks for [[Homestar Runner]]. These curious snacks are made with Triscuits, peanut butter, and an orange slice. Feed Homestar too few Trolleys and he'll get skinny, a moderate amount and his weight will be normal, as many as possible and he's ready to go!

'''Page Title:''' Bronco Trolleys!!

== Fun Facts ==
*You can cheat by pressing Tab+Enter. You can make well over a hundred Bronco Trolleys using this method.
**If you're good with this trick, try holding down the Enter key on the orange slice. If you get the timing right, your score will go through the roof and you can get over 800 Trolleys (but the third digit is not fully visible)
**If you quickly repeatedly enter on the peanut butter in order to bring up maximum oranges, then entering repeatedly on one of the oranges causes the count to go so fast that the timer apparently freezes, and you can score infinite points. After the finish if you let go, however, it shows your timer as higher than 30.
*Another simple cheat is to click on the same cracker repeatedly, causing it to duplicate.
*This after-school snack is along the lines of the Wagon Wheel (a slice of cheese between 2 round crackers) which was immortalized in the classic "Time For Timer" cartoon about [http://www.allthingsanimated.com/ata/episodes.asp?cartoon_id=885 hankering for a hunk of cheese]. The circular shape, Western theme, suggestion of locomotion, and after-school nature of this snack add up to an homage by [[The Brothers Chaps]].

Bronco Trolleys

beanluc: /* Fun Facts */ "Wagon Wheel" item from STUFF page.

[[Image:bronco_t.PNG|thumb|right|220px|A bronco on the trolley]]

'''Bronco Trolleys''' is game that challenges you to make snacks for [[Homestar Runner]]. These curious snacks are made with Triscuits, peanut butter, and an orange slice. Feed Homestar too few Trolleys and he'll get skinny, a moderate amount and his weight will be normal, as many as possible and he's ready to go!

'''Page Title:''' Bronco Trolleys!!

== Fun Facts ==
*You can cheat by pressing Tab+Enter. You can make well over a hundred Bronco Trolleys using this method.
**If you're good with this trick, try holding down the Enter key on the orange slice. If you get the timing right, your score will go through the roof and you can get over 800 Trolleys (but the third digit is not fully visible)
*Another simple cheat is to click on the same cracker repeatedly, causing it to duplicate.
*This after-school snack is along the lines of the Wagon Wheel (a slice of cheese between 2 round crackers) which was immortalized in the classic "Time For Timer" cartoon about [http://www.allthingsanimated.com/ata/episodes.asp?cartoon_id=885 hankering for a hunk of cheese]. The circular shape, Western theme, suggestion of locomotion, and after-school nature of this snack add up to a [[TBC]] homage.

Talk:Female Lappy 486

2005-01-10T21:29:32Z

beanluc: Discuss Quick Fact talking computer.

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)

Female Lappy 486

2005-01-10T21:23:37Z

beanluc: 86 Quick Fact. I don't buy it: War Games isn't the only such.

[[Image:female_lappy_486.png|thumb|Strong Bad's looking prooty hot.]]

The Female Lappy 486 appears in [[Strong Bad]]'s fantasy in [[dreamail]]. She is basically the [[Lappy 486]] logo with blonde hair and a more feminine face. She appears when Strong Bad starts up the Lappy, telling him that he's looking prooty hot. When Strong Bad replies to an e-mail, the Female Lappy 486 gives Strong Bad her comments on it. After Strong Bad flies away at the end of the e-mail, she appears in an Easter Egg, telling Strong Bad that's she's worried about him, and that she can see the strings which are holding him above ground.

The Female Lappy 486 is the second character whose voice is done by [[Missy Palmer]].

'''Strong Bad Email #122'''

Strong Bad describes for us what his perfect email would be like.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Female Lappy 486]], [[The Cheat]], [[Homestar Runner]]

'''Date:''' January 10th, 2005

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oh oh, email's in the backyard, making some stew...

<pre>subject: Perfect email
Hey StrongBad,
I was just wondering: what do you look for in an email?
Another words,</pre>

''{Strong Bad temporarily stops reading}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh look! And there's some "another words."

<pre>describe that dream email that you would like
to recieve one day.
With lots of anticipation,
Danny Gedgafov from Glenview, IL
</pre>

''{Strong Bad has difficulty reading Danny's name, resulting in the following}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Danny Geh-geh-geh... gih-gih-gih... Gekakoff from Gliggityfoo, Illinoise. ''{typing}'' My dream email. My "dreamail." ''{clears screen, resumes typing}'' Well plain ol' Danny, there are a lot of email-fish in the Email Sea. And while most of them are those nasty bottom-feeders with the suckhole mouth, there are a few that break the glimmering surface of the water, to glisten in the sunset for a few fleeting moments like some kind of glorious e-marlin. Another words, please allow me to ditch the fishing metaphor and hit you with the pink border.

''{A pink border appears around the edge of the screen, causing the center to turn white. The whiteness fades into Strong Bad at the Lappy, which now has a golden chain license-plate cover around its screen reading "MY LAPPY ATE YOUR DOG" at the top}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' OK orchestra, hit it! ''{The orchestra starts up, and Strong Bad sings in an operatic style}'' Email me tonight!

''{The orchestra hits its last two notes, and the Lappy booting sequence begins. However, the Lappy emblem now looks female with blonde hair, and speaks to Strong Bad with corresponding text appearing below it}''

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' Good morning, Strong Bad. You're looking prooty hot. You have one unread messages.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why thank you, Lappy. You're looking prooty hot too. Onscreen!

''{Strong Bad clears the bootup screen, and reads the new email}''

<pre>subject: French countryside
Dear Mssr. Elegant�,
You left your pocketwatch in the hot tub. When will you be
back to retrieve it?
-128 Hot Katies
</pre>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' My Katies 1-128, 
Good to hear from all y'all (especially you, Katie 80). When my raucous schedule ''{pronounced as "shedule"}'' permits, I will triumphantly/abundantly return to the chateau for my ruby-encrusted pocketwatch. I have plans tonight, however, but I will, furthermore, heretofore, be back on morrow next. Please tell Adelaide that the poached eggs were tremendous. 
Forever young, 
Chester Elegant�

''{Strong Bad hits enter, and the female Lappy icon appears back onscreen as the email disappears}''

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' Well played, Strong Bad. Those ladies are sure to be all up ons.

''{The pink border and such fades away as we cut back to the normal world}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, man. If I got that email, I would have it bronzed and then dipped in...uh, guacamole and The Cheat would read it to me every night at supper.

''{The scene cuts back to the pink border dreamworld, this time at a banquet table(made out of a door) with large windows in the background, a covered serving tray and a golden chalice(or maybe just a doorknob). Strong Bad rolls forward in a plush chair with fork in hand to where the serving tray is. The Cheat's arm improbably stretches out from the right side of the screen and lifts the cover}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh! Cadbury Cream Egg omlette! ''{calling offscreen}'' Continue, The Cheat.

''{The camera pans to the other end of the table, where The Cheat is sitting in a similar chair, holding a bronze plaque with guacamole all over it. The Cheat starts to read it, then growls, rubs part of the front of the plaque, and continues. The camera pans back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{interrupting}'' Oh I love that part! Read it again, slowly, and... backwards.

''{The camera pans back to The Cheat, who starts to read backwards. Homestar Runner walks on-camera from the left side of the screen}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{while The Cheat is still reading}'' The Cheat! What's been up?

''{The camera pans back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, Strong Bad, found your pocketwatch. ''{Homestar tosses a ruby-encrusted pocketwatch in Strong Bad's omlette}'' Katie 80 said "What's up?" ''{camera pans back to The Cheat}'' So, The Cheat, what's been up?

''{The camera cuts to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Crap the what? The pink border is NOT holding up its end of the bargain. Come on, pink border, get your head in the game!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Pink border?

''{The scene cuts back to the real world, where Homestar is standing to the right of Strong Bad at his computer desk}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, what are you talking aboot?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks around for a moment}'' Oh, we're back here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah. I found your pocket lint. ''{puts some pocket lint on the desk}'' Marzipan says you're an ogre.

''{The camera focuses back on Strong Bad and the lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Awww! I knew I should've went with a puffy white cloud border. Those things never let you down. Homestar never woulda shown up in a Puffy White Cloud Dreamail.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I do hate white clouds.

''{A center wipe suddenly happens with white clouds forming the border. Strong Bad's computer desk is now apparently in a submarine, with the text "NUCLEAR CLASS SUBMARINE 'SOCCERMOM'" painted on the inside of its hull. As Strong Bad types, some creature with a huge eye looks in through a nearby porthole. As well, the pinging of a sonar can be heard in the background}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And if you ignore all the facts and scientific evidence, those weird little kids were right. Thanks for your question, Leonard Nimoy. I'll be back next week to solve another Celebrity Murder Mystery. ''{stops typing and stands up, addressing the camera}'' But right now, I gotta fly.

''{Strong Bad strikes a pose, and wires suddenly appear attached to him. Strong Bad makes various noises as he is lifted away to the upper right corner of the screen, where he gets stuck. The Paper, which now seems to be modeled after The United States Constitution, comes down with the Strong Bad email link looking like it's been written in marker}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on "e-marlin" to cause an ASCII marlin to jump from the bottom of the screen
*Click on the graffiti on Strong Bad's dream table to give a zoomed-in view of it.
*Click on the Lappy's screen at the end of the email to hear additional dialogue from the female Lappy.
=== Easter Egg Transcript ===
''{The Female Lappy appears back on-screen}''

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' Don't fly, Strong Bad. Please come down. I worry about you. I can see the strings.

== Fun Facts ==
* The backwards jokes first appeared in [[2 emails]].
* The Female Lappy is the second character [[Missy Palmer]] has voiced.
* Strong Bad's dreamail dinner table is made from the front door from the show "227" and is signed by actress Jacke� Harry who played Sandra Clark on the late 80's sitcom.
* Strong Bad has two [[Wikipedia:Cadbury's Creme Egg|Cadbury's Creme Egg]]s on his plate. [[Wikipedia:Cadbury-Schweppes|Cadbury-Schweppes]] is a chocolate and beverage company based out of London, UK.
* The phrase "all up ons" is from the email [[suntan]].
* The ending email is in reference to the TV series "In Search of..." hosted by Leonard Nimoy. As well, it may also be simultaneously referencing the TV series Unsolved Mysteries.
* At the end of this email, [[The Paper]] seems to have been replaced by either the original or a copy of the Constitution of the United States of America.
* As opposed to most other emails, the end screen does not have any sort of 'back' button.
* When Homestar says "What are you talking aboot?" he's speaking in a way that Canadians are parodied on American television, especially South Park with the word "about" being replaced with the word "aboot".
* The Floppy Disk this week is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miner_2049er Miner2049er] for the Atari 2600
* The talking Lappy 486 is creepily reminiscent of the red/yellow robots in Flubber.
* The pink border is a reference to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saved_By_The_Bell Saved by the Bell], which also used the exact same border for its dream sequences.

Hi there. I saw your question in that edit you made to the [[Jhonka]] page, and I just wanted to let you know that the "no-name brand" e-mail joke is from [[cheatday]].[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 10:11, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)
*I see! Thanks for telling me, Tom. --[[User:beanluc|beanluc]] 14:16, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)

Jhonka

2005-01-10T00:48:16Z

beanluc: Where did "No-Name Brand" come from? doesn't make sense.

[[Image:Jhonka_Drawing.PNG|thumb|right|220px|A Jhonka sketch]]
[[Image:Jhonka_Game.PNG|thumb|lright|220px|In Peasant's Quest]]

'''Jhonka''' was the name Strong Bad created for the writer, who didn't give one, of the e-mail in "[[impression]]".

Jhonka shows up in the game Peasant's Quest

The Jhonka is very rich and lives in a cave as shown in Peasant's Quest. He is deathly afraid of the [[Kerrek]] and is kind of gullible.

Jhonka vaguely resembles the character [[Wikipedia:Gollum|Gollum]] from the Lord of the Rings books and movies. This may be referred to in the Peasant's Quest game, where if you try to "give" the Jhonka something he'll reply with "Don't need nothing from no filthy peasantses!!", echoing the Tolkien character's unique style of speech.

The easter egg in "[[impression]]" provides an interesting description of the Jhonka:

<pre>JHONKA
The Jhonka are one of many
tribes of primitive, troll-like
creatures found in the lowlands
and throughout lesser dungeons.

Their low intelligence makes
them quite susceptible to toilet
humor and cheap gags such as
"Gimme five. Up high. Down
low. Too slow."

FREQUENCY: Common
INTELLIGENCE: Low
ARMOR CLASS: +2</pre>

This is a reference to Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, in which the entries for monsters followed a similar, albeit more detailed, format.

beanluc: Not part of "relationship eveidence" section

[[Image:alienwithbat.PNG|thumb|Thomas... with a bat!]][[Image:Baby Thomas.JPG|thumb|Teeny Tiny Thomas]]
'''Thomas''' is a small alien creature from [[Far Off Lands]] that appears in [[Teen Girl Squad]] episodes. He first makes his apperance in Teen Girl Squad Issue 2, when he hits [[What's Her Face]] in the knees with a bat.

He's also a skateboarding pro, as shown by his '''''Late 360 Shove it to Boneless!!...'d!!''''' in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 5]].

It has been suggested that Thomas and What's Her Face are dating. Evidences for such a relationship include:
* Thomas, possibly out of jealousy, hits What's Her Face with the bat in Teen Girl Squad Issue 2 directly after she thinks she has a chance with the [[No I in Team Boy]].
* In [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]], Teeny Tiny What's Her Face thinks she has a chance with the younger Thomas.

Fourth Wall Breaks

2005-01-07T00:01:12Z

beanluc: part-time job

[[Image:fourthwalling.png|thumb|Good morning, reality!]]

in a blue moon, the H*R characters "break the fourth wall" by recognizing their existence as cartoon characters on a computer screen rather than in a fictional world of their own.

[[First Time Here?]] sets the stage for fourth wall breakages, especially when Strong Bad shows up to let you know why you're here.

It has also occurred in the following [[Strong Bad Email]]s:

*[[huttah!]]: [[The Cheat]] actually watches the e-mail on his own computer.
*[[little animal]]: [[Strong Bad]] mentions "the viewers...at home..."
*[[the process]]: the entire email implies that [[Strong Bad]] is aware that he is a cartoon being watched by people at home.
*[[mile]]: Strong Bad tells us he won't be checking his e-mail this week.
*[[flashback]]: The size of the display area is purposefully extended and [[Homestar Runner]] is "behind the black."
*[[for kids]]: Strong Bad alludes to the idea of children watching his emails.
*[[other days]]: Strong Bad does his email earlier for "Eastern European viewers across the pond."
*[[extra plug]]: The scene at the end with the cast making a fake e-mail gives the impression that Strong Bad knows someone's watching, and that they want to see the e-mail finished.
*[[virus]]: Most of the characters recognize that they are in a cartoon.
*[[animal]]: Strong Bad says goodbye to everyone.
*[[Not the 100th Email!!!]]: References to the 404 page and the user poking around the site.
*[[part-time job]]: Strong Bad peeks around the edge of the black on his way to Bubs', with an aside to the audience about Bubs' sobriety. Also, Bubs refers to Strong Bad's "email show", to which Strong Bad replies that one day he'll "be big", which obviously can't happen if no one's watching him.

In addition, the fourth wall has been breached in the following toons:

*[[The System is Down]]: References to both the 404 File Not Found page and homestarrunner.com being down.
*[[Homestar Presents: Presents]]: Strong Bad informs the viewers that Homestar runs around frantically from Decemberween to New Years, then, in the easter egg, there is a poster on the wall that reads, "Left Out Characters' Support Group & Buffet."
*[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Strong_Sad#Character_Video_Transcript Strong Sad's Character Page]: In his character page, [[Strong Sad]] mentions that he doesn't want to "do a characters page."

== Transcript ==

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

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

Sincerely, Hunter</pre>

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

''{Cut to the lower area of Marzipan's kitchen. Strong Bad has apparently been checking this e-mail under Marzipan's kitchen table. Homestar walks in, and is holding a tennis ball.}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''BUBS:''' Aha!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{The screen fades out and resumes to Strong Bad wearing a combination of a sad clown and a hotdog costume in front of Bubs' stand. Strong Bad is holding a paper, and a stack of papers sits next to him.}''

''The papers all say:''

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

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

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

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

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

''{Coach Z walks in.}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{The Lappy powers down.}''

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

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

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

<pre>yeah buddy,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Fun Facts ==
* Broasting is a style of cooking popular in the American Midwest. A [http://www.broaster.com Broaster] is basically a pressure deepfryer for cooking battered chicken.
*'Broast' and 'Boil' are also a play on the 'Roast' and 'Broil' buttons that exist in some ovens.
*The "Hundredaire Socialite magazine" easter egg features the familiar faces of [[The Brothers Chaps|Mike and Matt Chapman]]; the photo is from [[Peasant's Quest Preview]].
* The tragiclowndog's tie points upwards, like [[Wikipedia:Dilbert| Dilbert]]'s.
*The clock on Mrs. Bennedetto is stuck on 9:48.
===Other things of interest ===
*Bubs has apparently discontinued his "free weekly spamvertisements" from [[unused emails]], from which Strong Bad was making $1250 (5000 emails x a quarter each) every time he sold a disk of addresses.
*Notice Bubs' promotion is the opposite of what would be sensible: You get can get two cups of ice while paying only for the one that costs less or the same. This is the same kind of logic which allows [[The King of Town]] to have "earned a free combo meal by purchasing one of equal or lesser value".
*You can still make the circles appear on the LCD screen when the power shuts off.
*You can keep clicking on "preeow" to make the Paper come down again and again.
*"What do you mean do I do anything besides checking e-mails" is a question and Strong Bad didn't use a question mark. (Which frankly is pretty disappointing, considering the vocal work done on the grammar songs in [[local news]].)
*In the easter egg, Strong Bad sings two notes at the same time on the word "true."
*"Hundredaire" was also used in the email "[[suntan]]," where Strong Bad said it twice
* "preeeeow" is what Strong Bad says in [[autobiography]] and [[haircut]], when attempting to prompt the printer to print out [[The Paper]].
*"The League of Me and the Cheat Ice-Cream Socials" is probably a play on the League of Women Voters Ice Cream Socials.
*The confused sounds Strong Bad makes at the beginning of the cartoon are almost identical to the ones he utters near the end of [[Everybody to the Limit]]
*This email is the first to show the back of the Lappy. It is the 2nd time Strong Bad has checked his email in an unusual place (The other place time was when he checked his email on Pom-Pom's Pom Pilot).

== Glitches ==
* After watching the "Power easter egg," the paper comes down even though you haven't clicked on preeeow.
*When you view the "Broast easter egg," you can still press the preeeow button

Fourth Wall Breaks

2005-01-04T04:11:18Z

beanluc: /* First Time Here */ Deserves a certain prominence. Besides, there's not really a proper section for it.

Once in a blue moon, the H*R characters "break the fourth wall" by recognizing their existence as cartoon characters on a computer screen rather than in a fictional world of their own.

[[First Time Here?]] sets the stage for fourth wall breakages, especially when Strong Bad shows up to let you know why you're here.

It has also occurred in the following [[Strong Bad Email]]s:

*[[huttah!]]: [[The Cheat]] actually watches the e-mail on his own computer. Perhaps Strong Bad has a digital camera behind his computer stool for recording his emails.
*[[little animal]] [[Strong Bad]] mentions 'the viewers...at home...'
*[[the process]]: the entire email implies that [[Strong Bad]] is aware that he is a cartoon being watched by people at home
*[[mile]]: Strong Bad tells us he won't be checking his e-mail this week. This can be explaine by the camera.
*[[flashback]]: they extend the size of the display area and [[Homestar Runner]] is "behind the black"
*[[for kids]]: Strong Bad alludes to the idea of children at home watching the emails
*[[other days]]: Strong Bad does his email earlier for "Eastern European viewers across the pond"
*[[extra plug]]: the scene at the end with the cast making a fake e-mail give the impression that Strong Bad knows someone's watching, and that they want to see the e-mail finished. Again, this can be explained by the camera.
*[[virus]]: the characters recognize that they are in a cartoon
*[[animal]]: Strong Bad says goodbye to everyone. Once again, this can be explained by the camera.
*[[Not the 100th Email!!!]]: References to the 404 page and the user poking around the site.
*[[part-time job]]: Strong Bad peeks around the edge of the black on his way to Bubs', with an aside to the audience about Bubs' sobriety.

In addition, the fourth wall has been breached in the following toons:

*[[The System is Down]]: References to both the 404 File Not Found page and homestarrunner.com being down.
*[[Homestar Presents: Presents]]: Strong Bad informs the viewers that Homestar runs around frantically from Decemberween to New Years, then, in the easter egg, there is a poster on the wall that reads, "Left Out Characters' Support Group & Buffet."

*[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Strong_Sad#Character_Video_Transcript Strong Sad's Character Page]: In his character page, [[Strong Sad]] mentions that he doesn't want to "do a characters page".

'''Strong Bad Email #121'''

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

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

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

== Transcript ==

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

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

Sincerely, Hunter</pre>

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

''{Cut to the lower area of Marzipan's kitchen. Strong Bad has apparently been checking this e-mail under Marzipan's kitchen table. Homestar walks in, and is holding a tennis ball.}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''BUBS:''' Aha!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{The screen fades out and resumes to Strong Bad wearing a combination of a clown and a hotdog costume in front of Bubs' stand. Strong Bad is holding a paper, and a stack of papers sits next to him.}''

''The papers all say:''

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

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

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

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

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

''{Coach Z walks in.}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{The Lappy powers down.}''

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

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

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

<pre>yeah buddy,
i have muscles!

Fourth Wall Breaks

2004-12-22T03:48:53Z

beanluc: First Time Here too

Once in a blue moon, the H*R characters "break the fourth wall" by recognizing their existence as cartoon characters on a computer screen rather than in a fictional world of their own. They have only done this in the following [[Strong Bad Email]]s:

*[[huttah!]]: [[The Cheat]] actually watches the e-mail on his own computer
*[[the process]]: the entire email implies that [[Strong Bad]] is aware that he is a cartoon being watched by people at home
*[[mile]]: Strong Bad tells us he won't be checking his e-mail this week.
*[[flashback]]: they extend the size of the display area and [[Homestar Runner]] is "behind the black"
*[[for kids]]: Strong Bad alludes to the idea of children at home watching the emails
*[[other days]]: Strong Bad does his email earlier for "Eastern European viewers across the pond"
*[[extra plug]]: the scene at the end with the cast making a fake e-mail give the impression that Strong Bad knows someone's watching, and that they want to see the e-mail finished
*[[virus]]: the characters recognize that they are in a cartoon
*[[animal]]: Strong Bad says goodbye to everyone.
*[[Not the 100th Email!!!]]: References to the 404 page and the user poking around the site.

In addition, the fourth wall has been breached in the following toons:

*[[The System is Down]]: References to both the 404 File Not Found page and homestarrunner.com being down.
*[[Homestar Presents: Presents]]: Strong Bad informs the viewers that Homestar runs around frantically from Decemberween to New Years, then, in the easter egg, there is a poster on the wall that reads, "Left Out Characters' Support Group & Buffet."

[[First Time Here?]] sets the stage for fourth wall breakages, especially when Strong Bad shows up to let you know why you're here.

beanluc: /* To real things */ delish fish phrase

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

'''Strong Bad Email #120'''

'''Cast (In order of appearance):''' [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Sad]]/[[The Deathly Pallor]], [[Marzipan]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[The Strong Bad]], [[Strong Mad]] (easter Egg), [[The Sneak]] (Easter Egg)

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

== Transcript ==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Cut back to the boombox}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{The [[Portly Washboy Fancy Laundry Paste|Portly Washboy]] logo appears. It is of a boy and a heaping jar of paste with a spoon in it.}''

*Click on "The Fish Was Delish, and it made quite a dish" when it shows up to show a children's book made in the style of Dr. Seuss, called "The Fish Was Delish, and it Made Quite a Dish". It was written by Crazy Prof. Sportsinterviews (aka [[Leomard Sportsinterviews]]), who writes most of the children's books Strong Bad mangles.
* Click on "coozies, frisbees, or bottle openers" after [[The Paper]] comes down to see them.
* Click on "annoying" after The Paper comes down to see/hear more of Strong Sad's new persona.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{normal voice}'' Oh, I disagree! I think it's more than just a matter of simple economics. In fact, I'd say...

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

== Fun Facts ==

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

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

*This is the second time Strong Sad has confused Strong Mad by saying something weird. The first was in [[caffeine]], after he said parakeet.
*Strong Sad's calligraphy pen is also featured in his action figure in the easter egg for [[action figure]], and from the [[Strong Bad Is in Jail Cartoon]].
*The college radio is [[WSBD|89.3 WSBD The Voice of CGNU]], "Several Dozen Listeners". This refers to [[Crazy Go Nuts University]].
*The [[Trivia Time]] cookie jar appears in Marzipan's kitchen.
*Homestar's command of "shut it up" is a reference to The Cheat's [[crazy cartoon]].
*This is the second time we've seen the interior of Homestar's House. The first was in [[caper]], when Strong Bad and The Cheat tried to steal his Jumbles. Apparently, someone fixed his cow lamp, which is seen at the righthand side of the screen.
*Strong Sad refers to himself as "[[The Deathly Pallor]]," harking back to Coach Z's introduction of Strong Sad in the email [[impression]].
*Strong Bad says the words "absolutely nothing" exactly the same way in the email [[website]].
*"progrum" Is also a referance to [[pizzaz]] from "Strong Bad Type Interview Progrum"
*Right at the very end of the chanting, one can hear the first two notes of the "Sweet Cuppin' Cakes" theme song, as seen in [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]].
*The music playing during the morning radio segment is the Dangeresque theme from [[stunt double]]
**Except that, it's not.
*Of course, Strong Bad being annoyed with Strong Sad for calling him "Senator" is a refrence to "Car" where Strong Sad is annoyed with Strong Bad for calling him "Gron Sad".
==== To real things ====

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

*In the old timey Strong Bad Easter Egg, the way that Strong Bad pronounces radio (rah-dio) is the same as how Nick Niespodziani of [http://www.pleaserock.com Y-O-U] pronounces it in the song [http://www.pleaserock.com/downloads/radio.mp3 Radio]. Y-O-U was the band that worked with [[The Brothers Chaps]] on the [[Strong Bad Sings CD]].

==== Possible references ====
*Strong Bad calling Strong Sad "Greystoke" is a possible reference to the fictional character [[Wikipedia:Tarzan|Tarzan]], who was the orphaned son of Lord Greystoke.
*Sir Strong Bad saying "Drat and double drat!" is also said by Dick Dastardly from the '60s cartoon "The Wacky Races". Sir Strong Bad may be partially based on Dick Dastardly, as they share many characteristics.

*The college radio station is "89.3 WSBD The Voice of CGNU". 89.3 is a real radio station in Atlanta, which, like college radio, has very bad hosts.
*When Strong bad says 'The fish was delish, and it made quite a dish' might be a reference to the short-lived Teenage mutant ninja turtles live action series called [http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/ShowMainServlet/showid-7740/ Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation]
**The quote can be seen [http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Underworld/6703/page70.html here].
*Homestar must be a terrific athlete if he can nail a highball glass on a radio with a totebag on his head.

beanluc: /* radio */ 4&20 stone - NEW reference (added weight on broacast)

Talk:radio

2004-12-21T15:42:00Z

beanluc: /* Drugs */ The Strong Bad is English

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

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

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

===Highball===

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

===Drugs===

Does it make sense to point out [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/420_%28drug_culture%29 another interpretation of 4 and 20 stone]? This isn't the only drug reference the Brothers Chaps have made, but the Wiki seems to not point these out. (Another one was in the Strong Bad Email menu, when Coach Z says "you must smoke grass.")
*It isn't a drug reference! Like... at all. "stone" is a measure of mass.
**Right, but getting high is also commonly referred to as getting stoned. Ever listen to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firesign_Theatre Firesign Theatre]? Not all drug references need to be perfectly direct, or not hidden in a dual (or triple) entendre.
*** That's one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. If they had said pounds, would it have been a reference to British currency? The next argument will be about the use of 4 and 20 (as in 4:20), but that is as much a reference to the Gettysburg address as it is to weed. And everyone should sign their comments, so you can follow the thread of discussion. -[[User:Vannav|Vannav]]
**** The context and phrasing behind the mention of "four and twenty stone" undeniably points to the British unit of weight. Furthermore, since this e-mail's writer is from Scotland, this adds further weight (as it were) to the argument that it's a reference to the aforementioned system. (Another, but far more vague connection, is that The Strong Bad has a vaguely British accent.) - Trev-MUN
***** The "vaguely British accent" was actually a very very common U.S. East Coast accent in the 1930's, especially among the educated white-type people who would have had the privilege to be in broadcasting. Vague indeed. --[[User:beanluc|beanluc]] 15:15, 16 Dec 2004 (MST)
****** That's an interesting note, except I don't recall hearing this type of accent ''at all'' from American 1930's broadcasts. Even the "very common educated East Coast" accent you mention, from examples I have heard, does not sound like this. At any rate, I'd say that it's apparent that The Strong Bad is British to some degree; his choice of using stones over pounds, the accent (farghwar@#*&!), and other tidbits (getting telegrams from Lord Elsington Hallstingdingdingworth ... okay, that might be a stretch, but it seems supicious) point in that direction. - Trev-MUN
******* Yes, I think you're right after all. Plus, The [[The Strong Bad| Sir Strong Bad]] page says English, anyway, so I guess that's an accepted point around here! --[[User:beanluc|beanluc]]

*Coach Z actually said "you must smoke crack" (or, possibly, "crash"). I find the drug references dubious though. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 18:12, 13 Dec 2004 (MST)

===Factual Deluge!===
Something really has to be done about the influx of fun facts to the newest emails... the very fact that we've had to divide it up into categories of references shows that the situation is getting out of hand. Perhaps something along the lines of closing fun-fact entries until 2 days after the premier of the email could be arranged. Thoughts? -[[User:Vannav|Vannav]]
*Personally I see nothing wrong with an article having plenty of fun facts or reference notes attached. This is, after all, a Wikipedia. However, if most of them are stretches, that's a different case (such as the two fun facts suggesting that Crackotage and Senor Cardgage are both involved in this e-mail somehow). - Trev-MUN
* Have you seen the [[STUFF]] page? It's supposed to help filter bogosity. --[[User:beanluc|beanluc]]
** Wish it helped, but daily, we get someone (and always someone different!) trying to add the Bruce Almighty "fact", even though it's ON the STUFF page ''AND LOSING!'' Even putting a comment on the page (visible only to those that are trying to edit the page) didn't help - they just put it in a different category. I'm tempted to repeat the comment in that other category, just because it has ticked me off that much. In closing, the STUFF page doesn't stop newbies from posting useless or false facts if they don't know the STUFF page exists. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 15:22, 16 Dec 2004 (MST)
*** Yeah, Jay, I definitely know of your pain with the Bruce Almighty simpletons. Still I think the STUFF page probably DOES help a lot more than it hurts, and it has to help to keep mentioning it. Why not also put it in the Fun Facts section on the Standards page? We shouldn't keep it hidden from the newcomers who DO look there before editing (like I did). --[[User:beanluc|beanluc]]
****That is a very good idea. Surprised it hadn't been thought of already. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 16:28, 16 Dec 2004 (MST)

===The show's not just dangerous...===

Is it just me, or is the background music on the morning radio show (the part in Homestar's room) an obvious variant of the Dangeresque theme?

*Jeepers yur right!! - mashed potato jones
**I don't think so. It is vaguely similar, but it's different enough that I'd chalk it up to "coincidence". --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 19:46, 13 Dec 2004 (MST)
not totally, however it probably is one of the references, of which too many people guessed of too many.

===Squawk box===

<pre>Homestar calls the clock/radio a "Squawk box", which is a reference to Squalkbox, a Generation 1 Transformer.</pre>

*I suggest this for speedy deletion - 'squawk box' is a phrase which is even defined on [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=squawk+box dictionary.com]. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 10:48, 14 Dec 2004 (MST)
*I don't agree on the reference either. --[[User:AndrewNeo|AndrewNeo]] 12:35, 14 Dec 2004 (MST)

== Jar ==

The little dog jar in Marzipan's kitchen is from the sketchbook. He was an idea for Pom Pom's dog.

*His name is Trivia Time. It's been said over and over again.

==== New Persona ====

Is it just me, or does Strong Sad seem to enjoy his radio voice in the easter egg more than the first time? He seems to be getting more comfortable using it (note the lingering smile)
*My guess is that he just hasn't snapped out of it at that point. Remember, it's not something he does voluntarily, as indicated by his reaction the first time. --[[User:83.88.139.108|83.88.139.108]] 06:47, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)
