== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Singing}'' It's email time again! Doot doodle-ooh-doo, Doot doodle-ooh-doo, Doot doodle-ooh-doo.

''{reading}''

<pre>Dear Strong Bad,
Does Strongbadia have its' own local
news even? If so, I hope it's better
than my local news.

Sincerely,
Dan D. Tallahassee, FL</pre>

''{Strong Bad says "Tallaha-... Tasalan-.. Gainesville, Florida" instead of "Tallahassee, FL"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Okay, Dan, I'm only going to sing this one more time: ''{singing}'' Ohhhhhhh ''{types while singing}''If you want it to be possessive, it's just "ITS." But, if it's supposed to be a contraction then it's "I-T-apostrophe-S," scalawag. ''{stops typing}'' Ahem. Um, ''{Clears screen, resumes typing}'' Of course we've got local news. It's the- It's the greatest! Um... But I- I have to go now... and... do something... completely unrelated to me... throwing together... the aforementioned local news. Hoight!

''{Strong Bad holds a sign reading "Strongbadia Action Cool News 5" in front of the camera. We can hear The Cheat making noises in the background}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Strong Badia Action Cool News 5!

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing in Strong Badia.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Top Stories with anchorperson Strong Bad!

''{Strong Bad gives a thumbs-up to the camera, as The Cheat holds up an index card reading "Strong Bad with Top Stories." Cut to Strong Mad standing in front of a blackboard holding a football, a tennis racquet, and twirling a cinder block on his right index finger as if it were a basketball}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad with the sports!

''{The Cheat holds up an index card reading "Sportscarster Strong Mad". Cut to the Tire with an index card propped up next to it reading "Meteorologist TIRE"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Local weather with Tire!

''{Cut to The Cheat standing in the field.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And The Cheat with SkyCheat Traffic!

''{The Cheat grins at the camera and holds up an index card reading "THE FRIGGIN CHEAT" as the SkyCheat logo appears in the lower right-hand corner. Cut to Strong Bad sitting behind a desk situated in front of the fence}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good evening and tonight. I'm Strong Bad with today's top stories.

''{Cut to a side view of the desk (which now looks more like a cardboard box). The Cheat holds up a sign saying "World Crisis"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The World in Crisis! More on that later.

''{The Cheat withdraws the World Crisis sign, and we switch to a frontal angle of the desk again}'' Now let's check in with The Cheat with SkyCheat Traffic.

''{Cut to Strong Mad and The Cheat standing in the field. Strong Mad throws The Cheat high into the air. Strong Bad makes helicopter sounds.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{keeps getting thrown up and down, and his speech is subtitled}'' Thanks Strong Bad...This is The Cheat... with SkyCheat Traffic...There appears to be...some congestion...around Bubs' Concession Stand.

''{cuts to the concession stand. Homestar, Marzipan and the King of Town are standing in line. There is a sign that says "Wait in Line: $5"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Best five bucks I ever spent.

''{Cuts back to Strong Bad behind the news desk}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thank you, The Cheat. I guess those roads should not be rode upon, eh?

''{Cut back to The Cheat, who is still being thrown into the air}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{subtitled}'' Not funny...I didn't even mention...any roads.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad behind the news desk}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes, well, thank you, goodnight. Now on to our top story: The World in Crisis.

''{Bubs holds up the "World Crisis sign." Cut to side angle of the desk again. You can see Bubs, but he quickly runs away, dropping the sign}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But first, Strong Mad with the sports.

''{Cut to the Classroom. The words "SCORE A POINT" are written on the board. Strong Mad is bouncing a football on the floor with a tennis raquet}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I SHOULD WIN! I SHOULD WIN IT!

''{Strong Mad swats the football at the camera. You can hear Strong Sad saying "ow." Cut back to Strong Bad behind the news desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, it looks like our sportscaster isn't being a very good sport, eh?

''{Cut to The Cheat still being thrown in the air}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{subtitled}'' Pathetic.

''{Cut back to the news desk}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Will the winter weather chill your cheeks?

''{The Poopsmith holds up a sign reading "Winter Weather"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's the word, Tire?

''{Cuts to the tire on a desk with a weather map propped up agains the fence. The map slowly slides down and falls off the desk, causing the tire to roll away and fall off the desk itself. Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You heard it folks. Bundle up, but keep your swimsuit on outside your pants.

''{Cut to side angle of desk}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Tonight folks, and have a great job. Remember to turn in tomorrow for our special investigative report expose: The World in Crisis.

''{The Cheat's sound effects start up again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Badia Action Cool News 5: "We're investiga-awesome".

''{The Cheat holds up a sign saying this. The Paper comes down.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*"The World in Crisis" may be making fun of the fact that most news stations always tell you about an interesting news story and keep you waiting to see it for a long time.
===Trivia===
*This is the second e-mail from someone named Dan who lives in Florida (the first being [[anything]]).
*This is the first time Homestar mentions anything about [[Best/Worst_X_bucks_I_ever_spent|best/worst bucks spent]].
===Remarks===
*The Cheat says that he didn't mention any roads, which may have been out of necessity; there are no known roads in [[Free Country, USA]].
===Goofs===
*The sportscaster card says "sportscarster," and spelling mistakes are atypical for Strong Bad.
*A nitpick: after the sports segment we cut back to Skycheat Traffic for a little while. But if Strong Mad was just in the locker room how could he be throwing The Cheat up in the air?
===Inside References===
*The arm on the S in the sign is a reference to [[Trogdor]].
*When Strong Bad is announcing the the cast of the news group, he pronounces his name as "Stong Bad", a reference to the email [[vacation]].
*The cards that say the titles and names of Strong Bad, Strong Mad, The Cheat, and the Tire are from the sb email [[band names]].

===Real-World References===
*At the beginning when Strong Bad sings "it's email time again," it's a reference to the KISS song "Cold Gin" ("It's cold gin time again...").
*In the beginning the email is from Tallahassee, FL. Strong Bad says it's from Gainesville. Any college sports fans know that the Florida State Seminoles are from Tallahassee, and the University of Florida Gators are from Gainesville, and they are major rivals.

== DVD Version ==
*All 5 Grammar songs have been incorporated into one long Easter Egg.
*The DVD version features hidden commentary by Mike and Strong Bad. To acccess it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

'''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 for 'Lectric Boots}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No fewer than DaAaAaA!! 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}''

:''{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 ==
*Strong Bad started to spell the word "awexome" before the power went out, a reference to the email [[monster truck]].
*The KoT actually has to pay bills.
*"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]].
*Strong Bad's boots stop making noises in the end even though the lights are flashing.
*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.
*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 author of this email signed it with "Simcity". ''[[Wikipedia:SimCity | SimCity]]'' is a popular city-making game series by [[Wikipedia:Maxis|Maxis]] and [[Wikipedia:Electronic_Arts|EA Games]].
*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).
*After Strong Bad turns his boots on, even before the power goes out you are no longer able to use the contrast buttons on the computer.
*[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 "Benny and the Jets".
*Strong Bad's 'Lectric Boots are made by "Ol' Fatty".
*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.
*The guy on the box has a passing resemblance to [[Senor Cardgage]], specifically the combover, the beard, and the potbelly.
*In the 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.
*The Cheat's glowsticks are references to the emails [[techno]] and [[monument]].
*Even though only one of Strong Bad's boots is plugged in, both boots work.
*The King of Town's electricity bill is headed 'Lectric Bill to match the boots.
*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.
*The amount of lights flashing are not eight, but actually seven, four on the left and three on the right.
*When StrongBad 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.
*When Strong Bad attempts to voice the "Hot Girl" on the box, his voice sounds identical to that of any of the [[Teen Girl Squad]] Girls. This is logical, as Teen Girl Squad is a comic created by Strong Bad after all.
*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 Technochocolate when he blows the power there.

*In the 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.
*The Cheat's glowsticks are references to the emails [[techno]] and [[monument]].
*Even though only one of Strong Bad's boots is plugged in, both boots work.
*The King of Town's electricity bill is headed 'Lectric Bill to match the boots.
*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.
*The amount of lights flashing are not eight, but actually seven, four on the left and three on the right.
*When StrongBad 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.
*When Strong Bad attempts to voice the "Hot Girl" on the box, his voice sounds identical to that of any of the [[Teen Girl Squad]] Girls. This is logical, as Teen Girl Squad is a comic created by Strong Bad after all.
*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 Technochocolate when he blows the power there.
*The noise made by the boots is the same as made by [[Stinkoman]]'s boots in [[20X6]].

[[Strong Bad]] shows us his awesome new electric boots.

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

== 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 for 'Lectric Boots}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No fewer than DaAaAaA!! 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.

*Click on the extension cord to see what the 'lectric boots ARE plugged into.

:'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' This electricity bill is PRETENDOUS!

== Fun Facts ==
*Strong Bad started to spell the word "awexome" before the power went out, a reference to the email [[monster truck]].
*The KoT actually has to pay bills.
*"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]].
*Strong Bad's boots stop making noises in the end even though the lights are flashing.
*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.
*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 author of this email signed it with "Simcity". ''[[Wikipedia:SimCity | SimCity]]'' is a popular city-making game series by [[Wikipedia:Maxis|Maxis]] and [[Wikipedia:Electronic_Arts|EA Games]].
*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).
*After Strong Bad turns his boots on, even before the power goes out you are no longer able to use the contrast buttons on the computer.
*[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 "Benny and the Jets".
*Strong Bad's 'Lectric Boots are made by "Ol' Fatty".
*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.
*The guy on the box has a passing resemblance to [[Senor Cardgage]], specifically the combover, the beard, and the potbelly.
*In the 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.
*The Cheat's glowsticks are references to the emails [[techno]] and [[monument]].
*Even though only one of Strong Bad's boots is plugged in, both boots work.
*The King of Town's electricity bill is headed 'Lectric Bill to match the boots.
*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.
*The amount of lights flashing are not eight, but actually seven, four on the left and three on the right.
*When StrongBad 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.
*When Strong Bad attempts to voice the "Hot Girl" on the box, his voice sounds identical to that of any of the [[Teen Girl Squad]] Girls. This is logical, as Teen Girl Squad is a comic created by Strong Bad after all.
*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 Technochocolate when he blows the power there.
*The noise made by the boots is the same as made by [[Stinkoman]]'s boots in [[20x6]].

== Description ==
Also known as the "ARROWED guy" and the "CHILDREN man." This is the guy who constantly kills members of the [[Teen Girl Squad]]. He appears in every issue and has a distinctive voice and a huge mouth. His many professions include an archer, a truck driver, owner of a Pan-Asian Cuisine stand, a brain mech pilot, and a ship captain (Gosh, I wonder how much money this guy makes... or how much free time he has!). The ways he has killed the Squad members are as follows:

Teen Girl Squad Issue 1: In his first appearance, he ARROWED [[The Ugly One]], right after she admitted to having a crush on every boy.
Teen Girl Squad Issue 2: He doesn't actually kill one of the members, but runs over [[So and So]]'s new boyfriend with a CHILDREN truck.
Teen Girl Squad Issue 3: He sells [[The Ugly One]] some Pan-Asian Cuisine, which makes her MSG'D.
Teen Girl Squad Issue 4: After [[Cheerleader]] gets denied by [[Quarterback]], who tells her to get some brains, he CEREBELLUMs her with a giant brain mech.
Teen Girl Squad Issue 5: He's helming a sailboat, the S.S. Inevitable, that SAILING MISHAPs [[Cheerleader]] in half.
Decemberween Teen Girl Squad: He doesn't kill anyone, but is two out of three judges when the girls jump into the lion's mouth. [[The Ugly One]] is TWO'D and [[Cheerleader]] gets 3 noses? Teen Girl Squad 7: The entire Squad falls into his mouth as they reminisce their kindergarten days.

Also appears 404ing [[The Ugly One]] when a URL is mistyped. It's the same as the Issue #1 attack except The Ugly One says "OW! my browser!", and 'ARROWED!!!' is missing. 404'd

[[What's Her Face]] and [[So and So]] are the only Teen Girl Squad members who have yet to suffer a Man With the Huge Mouth attack individually.
