Not X

174.62.238.201: undid revision 785388; it’s still negative a word unusually with not. I think it fits here.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' My name is not Email Sam. Ooh ahh. So please don't call me Email Sam. Ooh ahh.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
How long does it to answer an e-mail? 
Can you show me the prosess? 
Em.</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads, "How long does it take to answer an e-mail?" even though the word "take" is omitted. He reads "prosess" as "prosess-sess... sess."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Em? What's that supposed to stand for? Emerson? ''{pause}'' Embrodak? ''{another pause}'' Emtarkanderundersgunderson? Boy, you have some stupid and terrible names. ''{stops typing}'' Anyways... ''{clears the screen, resumes typing}'' Show you the process, eh, Em? Sure, I can do dat, but I should warn you, it may spoil the magic for some of you out there. I strongly urge both the faint of heart and the faint of butt to leave the room at this time.

''{Strong Bad clears the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So... ''{typing}'' Usually I try to start things off with a little song that somehow involves the word email. ''{stops typing}'' You know, like "I'm pronouncing, email!" Or like "Email, bu da ba doo dow!" Something like that. ''{resumes typing}'' Then I pull up the email I picked for this week and read it, pointing out any and all spelling or grammatical errors along the way. Then, after I make fun of your name, I begin to answer your email.

''{Strong Bad clears the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Generally, I like to start with, ''"Well, whoever, something something something."'' Or occassionally I switch it up with, ''"Something something, eh, whoever?"'' Next, as I'm typing, you can usually click on certain words and make little pictures of dumb stuff pop up.

''{Cut away to The Field. Strong Bad walks in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now we've reached the point where we cut away from the computer to some other scene. This is where some other character like Bubs or Coach Z gets a chance to shine. And if The Cheat's gonna make an appearance, this is usually where you'll see him.

''{Bubs enters.}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey, Strong Bad! What's going on?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I'm just showing the guys here how I go about answering my emails.

'''BUBS:''' Right on, right on. You gotten to the part where I tear off my shirt and start flexin', ''{curls both arms in front of his chest, as if flexing}'' much to the delight of all my ladyfans?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhhh... no. That's never happened.

'''BUBS:''' What about the part where I ride out waterskiing on two discount alligators, much to the delight of all my ladyfans?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{cuts over before Bubs finishes}'' Yeah, that's never happened either.

''{The Cheat walks in and puts three matches in Bubs's left foot.}''

'''BUBS:''' Sounds like a pretty lame email show ya got here, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whatever, man.

''{The Cheat lights the matches, setting Bubs's foot on fire. Bubs raises his leg and jumps up and down.}''

'''BUBS:''' Ooh! Hot mama! ''{The Cheat puts a beehive on the ground, and Bubs's other foot lands in it.}'' YEEOW! Hot bees!

''{Cut back to the Compy 386.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then we cut back to the computer, where I either wrap things up or wind things down, depending on how funny the last part was. And that's it, Em. That's how we do things around here. Now you can answer emails like a true Strong Bad. ''{clears screen}'' Then right before the paper comes down, I usually mutter something... ''{lowers voice}'' under my breath... about some girl named Beth.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. After about 10 or 15 seconds, Strong Bad continues.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Then sometimes, if you wait around for 10 or 15 seconds, something else happens.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You mean like me showing up to deliver a classic line?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, I mean like me throwing a discount brick at you. ''{He throws the discount brick at Homestar, who ducks and the brick misses. A crashing sound is heard in the background.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{enlightened}'' Ohhh, discount brick!

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

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oh, I'm an email gambler... that means I play cards with emails. ''{He pulls up the email.}'' Full house.

<blockquote class="email">Dear Strongbad, 
 
What would happen if you poked 
Pom-Pom with a pin? Is that why I 
haven't seen him around in a while? 
 
Kevin 
OH</blockquote>

''{He pronounces "OH" as the word "oh!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh! Kevin. You scared me! I dunno. I guess he would pop or explode depending on whether he's filled with helium or hydrogen. And also depending on if he's on fire at time of poke. This is sounding pretty good. ''{clears screen}'' Poking Pom Pom with a pin while he's on fire! Let's see, how can we raise the stakes a little bit? Ooh! I'll be blindfolded! Truly this will be my greatest feat! ''{He puts on a blindfold with a rayed sun motif.}'' All right. I'm ready to go. ''{Types as "aligrt u.ln reay tui gi"}''

''{He leaves the computer. Cut to a field where Coach Z and Homestar Runner are standing.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Um, I think it was dot-egg or dot-muffin or something.

'''COACH Z''': You sure it wasn't dot-com? ''{pronounced "cam" due to his accent}'' Or dot-org?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': No, I'm pretty sure it was dot-egg.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{offscreen}'' All right, Hindenburg.

''{He enters, still wearing the blindfold and brandishing a pin and the BMW lighter.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Where you at?

'''COACH Z''': ''{He jumps out of the way.}'' Whoa! Hey there! Careful with those!

'''STRONG BAD''': Pom Pom, is that you?

''{He begins to poke Homestar in the chin with the pin, which makes a little high-pitched "poink" noise each time.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Yeah, it's me.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{still poking, annoyed}'' Homestar?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Yeah, it's me. ''{Light pink dots begin to appear on Homestar's face}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Look, I'm trying to find Pom Pom. You know where he is?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I think he's over at Bubs's, filming his documentary.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{quickly and dismissively}'' All right, thanks.

''{He stops poking and walks off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{assuming a teenager's breaking voice and slightly swaying}'' Hey, Coach! Check me out! I've got bad zits!

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand, where The Poopsmith is wearing headphones and holding a boom mic over Bubs's head and Pom Pom is filming Bubs at his place behind the counter.}''

'''BUBS''': And that's how I almost died the fifteenth time.

''{Bubs, Pom Pom and The Poopsmith turn to look at Strong Bad as he enters.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': All right, Led Zeppelin! Let's get this settled once and for all!

''{Strong Bad jumps in the direction of the concession stand, but smashes his face against the wall.}''

'''BUBS''': That'll be five dollars! ''{He puts up a sign reading "Face Mashings $5."}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Ugh! ''{He shakes his head.}'' That's cool. I'm cool. ''{quickly}'' Here I go again! Urah!

''{He jumps up and runs toward Pom Pom, who leaps into the air. He runs underneath Pom Pom and skids to a halt next to where he was standing. Pom Pom lands gracefully behind him with an angry expression.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Pom Pom, is tha—

''{Pom Pom kicks him into the air and 'juggles' him through several strikes, much like a fighting game, making combo signs appear after his fourth, fifth and sixth strikes with the ''Super Mario Bros.'' "coin" noise. He then finishes him off with a kick, sending him flying. A "1up" sign appears, along with the ''Super Mario Bros.'' "1-up" noise.}''

'''BUBS''': That'll be ten dollars! ''{He puts up a sign reading "Severe Pummelings $10."}''

''{Cut to the Compy room, where Strong Bad's reply is still on the screen. Strong Bad plummets through the roof, landing on his stool. He removes the blindfold.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Ugh! ''{typing}'' So, since I was blindfolded, I didn't really get a clear view of what happened. But I'm pretty sure I didn't get the everloving snot beat out of me and that Pom Pom exploded in a big fiery ball that was visible from space. Poor guy... I feel kind of sorry for him. I might even miss him a little bit. Well, it had to be done in the name of science. Or, more accurately, because some kid e-mailed me and told me to. ''{said in a childishly angered manner}'' I hope you're happy, Kevin!

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end, click on "Poor guy" to see a letter from Strong Bad to [[General and Fraulein Pom Pom|Pom Pom's parents]].
:''{Some sad music starts playing and a sheet of paper appears on the screen. As writing appears, Strong Bad reads it aloud, his voice cracking as he gets sadder.}''
<blockquote>Dear General and Fraulein Pom Pom, 
it is with a heavy heart that i inform you that your 
son recently exploded in a big, fiery ball that was visible 
from space. i would also like to add that in no way did 
he beat any of the everloving snot out of me. 
Sequentially, 
Strong Bad</blockquote>

*At the end, click on "e-mailed" to see Strong Bad "email gambling" with Bubs.
:''{Cut to a top-down view of a green table with some poker chips on it.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, read 'em and weep, boys! Pair of Abdis and a Viklas! ''{He throws cards onto the table, two of which bear a capital A, and one of which shows the Swedish flag.}''
:'''BUBS:''' Oh, man! Alls I got is a lousy MonkeyDude! ''{He throws down a card depicting Monkey D.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanation===
*A [[Wikipedia:Full house (poker)|"full house"]], as Strong Bad says in the opening song, is a poker hand of three cards of one value and two cards of another (e.g., 3 Kings and 2 Tens would constitute a full house).
*This is actually one of the few times the opening song is [[related to the email]] or Easter egg.
===Trivia===
*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Strong Bad investigates what happens if Pom Pom is poked with a pin. No ever-loving snot is kicked out of anyone."

===Remarks===
[[Image:Black-thing.png|thumb|The knot in its original black]]
*In the Flash file, between the two Easter eggs, from frames 2085-2105, a black version of the knot on the back of Strong Bad's blindfold appears in front of a plain white background. This black version is actually the belt from Pom Pom's karate outfit in [[Theme Song Video]]. ''{See also Inside References.}''
*In the letter to Pom Pom's parents, [[The Brothers Chaps]] did not modify the letter "q" (as they normally do) from how it actually appears in AhnbergHand, the [[font]] they usually use for Strong Bad's handwriting.
*After Strong Bad faceplants himself against the wall, the lighter goes out and is not re-lit.
*Strong Bad exposes himself as a less-than-expert typist in this email. After "raising the stakes" and donning a blindfold, he cannot type. An expert touch-typist would have no problem typing in this situation.
**However, in the email [[impression]], he is able to type with a picnic plate over his eyes.
*Supposing the denizens of the Isle of Pom use the same linguistic conventions as Germany, Strong Bad's use of ''Fräulein'' to refer to Pom Pom's mother is technically incorrect: instead he should be using ''Frau''. In German the word ''Frau'' ("woman") is used when addressing or referring to married women, like ''Mrs.'' in English, while ''Fräulein'' ("young woman") is used for younger, unmarried women, like ''Miss'' in English. As it is, the letter sounds like it is actually addressed to Pom Pom's father and sister, rather than to both of his parents.
**Additionally, using ''Fräulein'' is considered politically incorrect in Germany these days, and today both married and unmarried women are all addressed as ''Frau''.
*The sizing between Strong Bad and Homestar seems to be distorted in this email. Strong Bad's head is much larger when seen poking Homestar, contrasted to [[long pants]].
*There is actually such a thing as [[Wikipedia: .EGG|dot egg]], but it is a file format and is unused in web URLs.

===Goofs===
*In the scene where Strong Bad attempts to pop Pom Pom near [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], he is holding the [[BMW Lighter]], but the BMW logo is backwards on it.
*Somewhere between Strong Bad's first and second attempts to poke Pom Pom, the Poopsmith disappears without a trace, for no apparent reason.
*In the letter to Pom Pom's parents, Strong Bad does not properly spell ''Fräulein'' as he omits the [[Wikipedia:Umlaut|umlaut]] over the "a." In the case of "au" diphthongs in German, the absence or presence of an umlaut over the "a" determines its pronunciation between "ow" and "oy" (as spoken by Strong Bad) respectively.
*When Strong Bad is falling back into the Computer Room, there is no reflection of any part of his body on the Compy's screen until he lands. Also note that there are no laces on the back of his head.
*When Pom Pom hits Strong Bad the first time, his BMW lighter flies away but his pin disappears.
*When Strong Bad pokes Homestar Runner on the chin 11 times, he ends up with 5 pink marks, but when the camera zooms out he has 8 marks. The marks are much more spread out than Strong Bad's pokes.

===Inside References===
*In the poker game, Strong Bad has two [[Abdi LaRue|Abdis]] and a [[Swedish Flag|Viklas]] card which are references to emails [[some kinda robot]] and [[little questions]].
*Bubs's "MonkeyDude" card has a picture of [[Monkey D]]. Monkeydude himself came from [[crazy cartoon]].
*The blindfold Strong Bad wears has the same design as Pom Pom's headband in the [[Theme Song Video]]. The tie is a recolored version of Pom Pom's belt, in the same cartoon. ''{Also see Real-World References.}''
*The music that accompanies Strong Bad's letter of consolation is from [[2 years]] and [[A Decemberween Pageant]].
*Pom Pom directing a documentary may be a reference to [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], where he dressed as controversial documentarian Michael Moore.
*This is an instance of [[Strong Bad getting beaten up]].
*Strong Bad [[falling through the ceiling|falls through the ceiling]] of the computer room.
*Homestar's confusion over websites echoes his confusion in [[First Time Here?]]

===Real-World References===
[[Image:Beating.gif|thumb|"That'll be ten dollars!"]]
*Pom Pom's fighting style is similar to [[Wikipedia:Kirby (character)|Kirby's]] fighting style in the [[Wikipedia:Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros. series]], with combo and Smash attacks.
*When Pom Pom beats up Strong Bad, you can hear sound effects from the [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|''Super Mario Bros.'']] [[Nintendo|NES]] game, as is his scoring a [[Wikipedia:1-up|1-up]] after hitting Strong Bad several times (however, it usually takes 8 hits, not 7). The [[Wikipedia:Combo (fighting)|"Combo"]] sign is also a reference to the many fighting games that feature them.
*The rayed sun on Strong Bad's blindfold is from the military (especially pre-WWII) version of the [[Wikipedia:Flag of Japan#Military|Japanese flag]]. Its use here may be inspired by the 1984 film [[imdb:tt0087538|The Karate Kid]], in which Ralph Macchio's character wore a Japanese bandana known as a [[Wikipedia:Hachimaki| hachimaki]], which is traditionally worn during a difficult or important task. (Or maybe it was just the closest thing to a blindfold [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] had lying around among his props. See Inside References.)
*The email song is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Kenny Rogers|Kenny Rogers]] song (and movie) [[Wikipedia:The Gambler (music)|The Gambler]].
*[[Wikipedia:Led Zeppelin|Led Zeppelin]] was a '70s British band noted for their innovative, influential approach to heavy blues-rock.
*[[Wikipedia:Hindenburg disaster|The ''Hindenburg'']] was a German Zeppelin that exploded and burned on May 6, 1937.
**A famous picture of the Hindenburg disaster was used as the cover to Led Zeppelin's [[Wikipedia:Led Zeppelin (album)|first album]].

===Fast Forward===
* Strong Bad falls through the roof again in [[keep cool]].
* Pom Pom again shows his martial arts prowess in [[Summer Short Shorts]].
* Homestar references a .[[egg]] domain in [[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]], and one is present on the Bookazon site in the DVD version of [[studying]].
* In [[Strong Badia the Free]], attempting to use the katana on Pom Pom results in Strong Bad recalling the events of this email. Trying to use the lighter on Pom Pom also refers to this email ("I'm not sure what Pom Pom's filled with...").
*Strong Bad plays poker again in [[Poker Night at the Inventory]]
*Pom Pom would eventually be popped in [[Doomy Tales of the Macabre]] and [[I Killed Pom Pom]].

'''JON:''' Like, I just didn't know that the soundtrack was not the movie and—

'''MATT:''' Wow.

'''JON:''' I was—

'''MATT:''' How did you think—Where did you think the movie was gonna appear?

'''JON:''' Anyway.

'''RYAN:''' I met Kenny Rogers at a sushi place once.

'''MATT:''' Did you? Where at?

'''JON:''' He wasn't eating at his own chicken venue?

'''JON:''' ''{laughs}''

''{pause until Strong Bad says "I'm cool"}''

'''JON:''' He's cool.

'''MATT:''' I did some, uh, extra special animation on the little backstraps of his headband there. I don't remember—

'''JON:''' Yeah, Mike probably—

'''MATT:''' This part was really fun to animate.

'''RYAN:''' I like the noises.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''JON:''' Angry Pom Pom face rules, too.

'''MATT:''' Ooh. He came right through the ceiling.

'''JON:''' That—That made the hole that, um, that three-foot hole or whatever?

'''MATT:''' Oh, well that was in the ceiling, though.

'''JON:''' Now I'm confused—

'''MATT:''' He came through the ceiling.

'''JON:''' Oh yeah.

'''MATT:''' He didn't shoot up through the floor.

'''JON:''' See, there's a lot of holes—

'''MATT:''' There's a lot of holes in Strong Bad's—

'''JON:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Serious falling hazard. Yeah.

'''MATT:''' It's an old, rotted-up house. Just with nice, nice carpet on top of it.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oh, I'm an email gambler... that means I play cards with emails. ''{He pulls up the email.}'' Full house.

<blockquote class="email">Dear Strongbad, 
 
What would happen if you poked 
Pom-Pom with a pin? Is that why I 
haven't seen him around in a while? 
 
Kevin 
OH</blockquote>

''{He pronounces "OH" as the word "oh!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh! Kevin. You scared me! I dunno. I guess he would pop or explode depending on whether he's filled with helium or hydrogen. And also depending on if he's on fire at time of poke. This is sounding pretty good. ''{clears screen}'' Poking Pom Pom with a pin while he's on fire! Let's see, how can we raise the stakes a little bit? Ooh! I'll be blindfolded! Truly this will be my greatest feat! ''{He puts on a blindfold with a rayed sun motif.}'' All right. I'm ready to go. ''{Types as "aligrt u.ln reay tui gi"}''

''{He leaves the computer. Cut to a field where Coach Z and Homestar Runner are standing.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Um, I think it was dot-egg or dot-muffin or something.

'''COACH Z''': You sure it wasn't dot-com? ''{pronounced "cam" due to his accent}'' Or dot-org?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': No, I'm pretty sure it was dot-egg.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{offscreen}'' All right, Hindenburg.

''{He enters, still wearing the blindfold and brandishing a pin and the BMW lighter.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Where you at?

'''COACH Z''': ''{He jumps out of the way.}'' Whoa! Hey there! Careful with those!

'''STRONG BAD''': Pom Pom, is that you?

''{He begins to poke Homestar in the chin with the pin, which makes a little high-pitched "poink" noise each time.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Yeah, it's me.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{still poking, annoyed}'' Homestar?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Yeah, it's me. ''{Light pink dots begin to appear on Homestar's face}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Look, I'm trying to find Pom Pom. You know where he is?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I think he's over at Bubs's, filming his documentary.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{quickly and dismissively}'' All right, thanks.

''{He stops poking and walks off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{assuming a teenager's breaking voice and slightly swaying}'' Hey, Coach! Check me out! I've got bad zits!

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand, where The Poopsmith is wearing headphones and holding a boom mic over Bubs's head and Pom Pom is filming Bubs at his place behind the counter.}''

'''BUBS''': And that's how I almost died the fifteenth time.

''{Bubs, Pom Pom and The Poopsmith turn to look at Strong Bad as he enters.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': All right, Led Zeppelin! Let's get this settled once and for all!

''{Strong Bad jumps in the direction of the concession stand, but smashes his face against the wall.}''

'''BUBS''': That'll be five dollars! ''{He puts up a sign reading "Face Mashings $5."}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Ugh! ''{He shakes his head.}'' That's cool. I'm cool. Here I go again! Urah!

''{He jumps up and runs toward Pom Pom, who leaps into the air. He runs underneath Pom Pom and skids to a halt next to where he was standing. Pom Pom lands gracefully behind him with an angry expression.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Pom Pom, is tha—

''{Pom Pom kicks him into the air and 'juggles' him through several strikes, much like a fighting game, making combo signs appear after his fourth, fifth and sixth strikes with the ''Super Mario Bros.'' "coin" noise. He then finishes him off with a kick, sending him flying. A "1up" sign appears, along with the ''Super Mario Bros.'' "1-up" noise.}''

'''BUBS''': That'll be ten dollars! ''{He puts up a sign reading "Severe Pummelings $10."}''

''{Cut to the Compy room, where Strong Bad's reply is still on the screen. Strong Bad plummets through the roof, landing on his stool. He removes the blindfold.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Ugh! ''{typing}'' So, since I was blindfolded, I didn't really get a clear view of what happened. But I'm pretty sure I didn't get the everloving snot beat out of me and that Pom Pom exploded in a big fiery ball that was visible from space. Poor guy... I feel kind of sorry for him. I might even miss him a little bit. Well, it had to be done in the name of science. Or, more accurately, because some kid e-mailed me and told me to. ''{said in a childishly angered manner}'' I hope you're happy, Kevin!

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

*At the end, click on "Poor guy" to see a letter from Strong Bad to [[General and Fraulein Pom Pom|Pom Pom's parents]].
:''{Some sad music starts playing and a sheet of paper appears on the screen. As writing appears, Strong Bad reads it aloud, his voice cracking as he gets sadder.}''
<blockquote>Dear General and Fraulein Pom Pom, 
it is with a heavy heart that i inform you that your 
son recently exploded in a big, fiery ball that was visible 
from space. i would also like to add that in no way did 
he beat any of the everloving snot out of me. 
Sequentially, 
Strong Bad</blockquote>

*At the end, click on "e-mailed" to see Strong Bad "email gambling" with Bubs.
:''{Cut to a top-down view of a green table with some poker chips on it.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, read 'em and weep, boys! Pair of Abdis and a Viklas! ''{He throws cards onto the table, two of which bear a capital A, and one of which shows the Swedish flag.}''
:'''BUBS:''' Oh, man! Alls I got is a lousy MonkeyDude! ''{He throws down a card depicting Monkey D.}''

===Commentary Transcript===

('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Ryan Sterritt]], [[Jonathan Howe]])

'''MATT:''' All right. No introductions this time, guys. We're just gonna do it.

'''JON:''' Let's go!

'''MATT:''' All right.

'''RYAN:''' On the spot.

'''JON:''' What—what email are we doing here?

'''MATT:''' Uh, this is pom pom.

'''JON:''' All right.

'''MATT:''' And he just sang his little song about being the email gambler.

'''RYAN:''' Ohh, is—

'''JON:''' Is that, uh—

'''MATT:''' Like ''{simultaneously with Ryan}'' Kenny Rogers Roasters.

'''JON:''' I used to have the, um, Kenny Rogers' record of the Gambler soundtrack.

'''MATT:''' Ooh, nice.

'''JON:''' And I thought, as a child, that if you put it on the record, you'd be able to watch the movie?

'''MATT:''' ''{high-pitched}'' What?

'''JON:''' Like, I just didn't know that the soundtrack was not the movie and—

'''MATT:''' Wow.

'''JON:''' I was—

'''MATT:''' How did you think—Where did you think the movie was gonna appear?

'''JON:''' ''{embarrassed}'' I don't know. I was just a visionary waiting for laserdisc.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I guess so.

'''JON:''' Anyway.

'''RYAN:''' I met Kenny Rogers at a sushi place once.

'''MATT:''' Did you? Where at?

'''JON:''' He wasn't eating at his own chicken venue?

'''RYAN:''' No. He and his whole family were there so we got him some sake and he came over and met us.

'''MATT:''' Nice! Well, speaking of sake, Strong Bad is wearing a Japanese... headband, with the rising sun.

'''RYAN:''' Would you say Karma?

''{Jon and Matt laugh}''

'''JON:''' What?

'''MATT:''' I think I was karma.

'''JON:''' ''{laughs}'' Karma D?

'''MATT:''' Um—

'''JON:''' Oh, that's very—

'''MATT:''' What do you think those guys were talking about just then? Dot com or dot egg? Dot Muffin?

'''RYAN:''' The movement.

'''JON:''' My favorite moment, you know, where you're always picking up the characters in some like, nonsensical—

'''MATT:''' Right.

'''JON:''' —conversation is when, when he goes, "And [[crying|you ''stay'' over there.]]"

'''MATT:''' That's right.

'''JON:''' That's...

'''MATT:''' I think we were discussing on this commentary for that one who—who exactly he's talking to.

'''JON:''' ''{unintelligible}''

'''RYAN:''' I like Poopsmith holding the—

'''MATT:''' I would like... we should make that documentary someday.

'''JON:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Or, just like show that whole documentary about Bubs, I guess?

'''JON:''' ''{laughs}''

''{pause until Strong Bad says "I'm cool"}''

'''JON:''' He's cool.

'''MATT:''' I did some, uh, extra special animation on the little backstraps of his headband there. I don't remember—

'''JON:''' Yeah, Mike probably—

'''MATT:''' This part was really fun to animate.

'''RYAN:''' I like the noises.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''JON:''' Angry Pom Pom face rules, too.

'''MATT:''' Ooh. He came right through the ceiling.

'''JON:''' That—That made the hole that, um, that three-foot hole or whatever?

'''MATT:''' Oh, well that was in the ceiling, though.

'''JON:''' Now I'm confused—

'''MATT:''' He came through the ceiling.

'''JON:''' Oh yeah.

'''MATT:''' He didn't shoot up through the floor.

'''JON:''' See, there's a lot of holes—

'''MATT:''' There's a lot of holes in Strong Bad's—

'''JON:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Serious falling hazard. Yeah.

'''MATT:''' It's an old, rotted-up house. Just with nice, nice carpet on top of it.

'''JON:''' So, um, Pom Pom fighting game coming soon?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, no, exactly. It makes me wanna play a side-scrolling Pom Pom street fighter—

'''JON:''' Pom Fighter. Double—

'''MATT:''' Pom Freaks.

'''JON:''' Get it? Double Pom?

174.62.238.201: /* Terlet */ Separate

Way back in 2002, before the ballad of the sneak was even conceived!... was the A Decemberween Pageant. Anyway, with strong sad up-chucking and all in the stall, I think that merits some recognition. I mean, he wasn't just up-chucking on the floor, was he? I think if the kaizer's latrine counts, so does the bathroom stall.
Sincerly, the Bence

:You're right. [[Strong Sad]] uses a stall in [[A Decemberween Pageant]]. Thank-you! →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]

Perhaps this could be converted from prose to a list of appearances, either in the style of [[Death]] or of the many pages that have "Appearances" sections? —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 23:28, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

I think there should be a separate page for "terlet", it's a really common mispronunciation, like "bafroom". {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 17:32, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
:I don't know. I think it would fit better in this page. Just separate it out and put it in a new section. I did the same thing with [[Toast]] a couple years ago. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 05:57, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
::Would anyone else care to weigh in on if the instances of Terlet fit on this page? {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 02:33, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
:::The pronunciation itself is a separate running gag than just general toilets. I could see it being on the same page, but I lean toward keeping them separate. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:37, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

Doreauxgard

174.62.238.201 — Mon, 22 Jul 2019 06:21:02 GMT

174.62.238.201:

[[Image:qod 25 - Doreauxgard.PNG|right|100px|"Hey there, Mister Strong Bad!"]]
[[Image:DoreauxgardPuppet.png|left|thumb|120px|The puppet version]]
'''Doreauxgard''' (also spelled as '''Deauregard''') is a [[Wikipedia:Cantaloupe|cantaloupe]] (stolen by [[The Cheat]] from [[Marzipan]]) with a pencil-drawn face and said pencil jabbed through its base. This face has a worried expression, with a visible nose and nostrils, as well as a drooling mouth with his tongue sticking out. He is used by [[Strong Bad]] to play a prank on [[Bubs]] in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[lackey]].

The fruit appears in [[live action]] with [[Puppet Character Variations#Puppet Homestar Runner|Puppet Homestar]] in an [[Easter egg]] in the same cartoon. The Easter egg consists of the "[[Homestar Runner]] and Doreauxgard Show!" brought to you by [[Hollerin' Jimmy's]] Hobby Kit. This show makes an unofficial reappearance in [[The Actions You Can Do (video)|The Actions You Can Do]].

Despite co-starring in a show with Homestar, Doreauxgard does not seem to like him. He threatens to quit the show, repeatedly calls him "[[whitey]]", says he has no character, and later calls him a monster when he slices and tries to eat Doreauxgard's Aunt Crenshaw. Doreauxgard apparently had a strong connection with Aunt Crenshaw, stroking the slices with his tongue ("[[Lack of Visible Body Parts|his only appendage]]") to comfort her. Despite his hatred of Homestar, he tries to help him get his [[pile]] back from [[Strong Bad]] and [[Shark-Tooth Bubs]] in [[The Animated Adventures of Puppet Homestar]].

[[The Brothers Chaps]] also own an actual puppet of Doreauxgard (with a mouth that can open and close, as well as a [[green tongue]]), which was not shown on the site until [[Main Page 25]]. Based on this and the fact that he has a [[Quote of the Week]] [[Quote of the Week Character Heads|character head]], there may have been more planned for this character. He has only made a few appearances so far, and is apparently fully aware of this, saying "nobody knows what I look like anyways". Despite his few appearances, he expresses desire to be a star.

While originally puppeted by Strong Bad, he went on to become a [[Made-Up Real Things|real character]] while in puppet-form (in which he is seen in the majority of his appearances). While controlled by Strong Bad, he has a tendency to preface names with "mister". He also admires Strong Bad's [[graffiti]].

A similar moldy cantaloupe appeared in the email [[cliffhangers]].

Lack of Visible Arms

174.62.238.201 — Sun, 21 Jul 2019 23:21:45 GMT

174.62.238.201: /* Debatable Characters */

[[Image:Homestar's Arms.PNG|thumb|"Homestarms"]]
One of the ultimate mysteries in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner body of work]] is that [[Homestar Runner]], [[Marzipan]], [[The King of Town]], [[Homsar]], and many other [[characters]] all '''lack visible arms''' and hands. In spite of this, they have the ability to pick up, carry, and manipulate objects at will. The most common explanations for this phenomenon are that they either have invisible arms or can manipulate objects with some kind of [[Wikipedia:psychokinesis|psychokinesis]]. Some suggest the latter over the former, as these characters' articles of clothing rarely have sleeves where arms would normally be. Some claim the opposite, since there are few instances in which a character manipulates any object from afar. Others believe that there is a combination of both factors in use. Usually, none of the other characters seem to pay any attention to this curiosity, possibly because they have become accustomed to it, although sometimes their lack of arms is referenced.

174.62.238.201: /* Deauregard vs. Doreauxgard */

==Bad Orthography?==
You guys spelt it wrong. :(

:How should it be spelt? We will fix it [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 10:46, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)

:My thoughts on spelling: There is a Beauregard Parish in Louisiana, and Toregard seems to be a Swedish last name. "Doregard" looks to me like the first syllable should sound like "door", whereas "Deauregard" looks like the first syllable should sound like "dough". It sounds like people in [[lackey]] pronounce the first syllable as "dough". [[User:Mister Mister|Mister Mister]] 19:26, 5 Dec 2004 (MST)

== Deauregard vs. Doreauxgard ==
For those of you wondering what happened to "Deauregard", much less "Doregard", you can rest assured that we finally have the official say on the TBC-sanctioned spelling of our favorite cantaloupe's name: If you take a look at [http://www.homestarrunner.com/weeklies/weeklies.xml weeklies.xml] (you may have to go to View > Source in your browser to avoid the XML error) and scroll down toward the bottom of the list of character names, you'll see quite clearly the name "Doreauxgard". [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]]

:This is so cool. Good work Jones. Remember when some people thought it started with a "T"? Wow, those were the days.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:19, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

::That list raises a further question. Who's 1up? -- [[User:Cyrius|Cyrius]] 19:50, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

::"1up" is [[20X6 Homestar]], whose real name is rumored to be 1-Up ExtraMan (or similar). [[User:InterruptorJones|<nowiki></nowiki>]]— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]][[<nowiki></nowiki>]] 20:18, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

:::I suspected as much, given his absence from the list. I'll go make a note over on that page's talk page for future reference. -- [[User:Cyrius|Cyrius]] 20:41, 17 Jan 2005 (MST)

::::But now an actual video appearance has spelled it “Deauregard”. -[[Special:Contributions/174.62.238.201|174.62.238.201]] 13:57, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

== door-oh-gard ==
What's wrong with adding the correct pronunciation for Doreauxgard's name in the article? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 14:01, 12 Feb 2005 (MST)
: Well, for one, it's debatable. I hear "Doe-roe-gard" or "Doe-ruh-gard" myself. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:02, 12 Feb 2005 (MST)

==Actual Puppet==
Does anyone have a picture of the actual puppet of Doreauxgard? --[[User:Sam Goldfish|Sam Goldfish]] 00:32, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
:I wish I did. The interview where it was shown is lost inside the Internet or some remote hard drive. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 01:08, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

== Character Basis ==

This character could be based on Jack Benny's Valet Rochester from back in the days of black and white movies. Just a feeling/thought I had when I saw him the first time. {{unsigned|71.66.109.202|2:41, 15 October 2006}}

:[[Wikipedia:Jack Benny|Jack Benny]]'s valet (played by [[Wikipedia:Eddie Anderson (comedian)|Eddie Anderson]]) was a talking cantaloupe with a pencil-drawn face a pencil jabbed through him? But seriously, you may be on to something. Is there anything we can use to compare? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 02:51, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

==Name==

Doreauxgard's name may come from the Muppet Beauregard. Should we put that on there? --[[User:Jangles5150|Jangles5150]] 22:29, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

== puppet? ==

His puppet version that can talk sounds a lot like Blue Laser Commander.`--[[User:Fangoriously|Fangoriously]] 01:14, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
:That is to be expected with some of the characters, as there's really only [[Matt Chapman|one man]] doing the voices...you can't expect all of them to sound different (There's only so many [[Sample of Style|cardboard tubes]]). {{User:DevonM/sig}} 05:00, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

{{about|music video}} {{forsong|The Actions You Can Do}}

For the second song of the [[Trogdor!! The Board Game]] [[Trogdor!! The Board Game Rulebook EP|Rulebook EP]], Homestar Runner explains the actions you can do.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Doreauxgard}}

'''Date:''' Saturday, June 15, 2019

'''Running time:''' 0:56

==Transcript==
''{Music plays as a red silhouette of Homestar Runner dances in front of a goldenrod background. Homestar dives off-screen and pops up in front.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{speaking rhythmically}''
These are the actions that you can do on your turn when you're playing the board game, ''{lifts up a Trogdor meeple}'' Trogdor!! The Board Game.

''{The Trogdor meeple rises off-screen. Cut to a farther shot of Homestar. Verbs appear on banners as Homestar recites them.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You can move ''{Homestar moves forward to the front}'' or chomp ''{spittle flies out of Homestar's mouth}'' or hide ''{Homestar ducks out of sight, then reappears on the other side}'' or burrow or even burninate!

''{A small squiggle of smoke rises from Homestar's mouth}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{speaking}'' Hey, that was great! It was ''super'' catchy! ''{The banners fall down on top of each other, and then tumble down off the screen.}'' Everybody's gonna remember this one! Again!

''{Homestar ducks out of sight, then reappears much closer}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{continues singing}''
These are the things that you can do ''{The Trogdor meeple wanders in from the left}'' when you go into your house ''{Homestar takes out a cottage meeple}'' and inside your house ''{Homestar flips the meeple, showing the burninated side}'' you have a couple friends ''{Doreauxgard pops up}'' and maybe eat a snack ''{Doreauxgard looks shocked, then is replaced with a plate. Slices of cantaloupe appear on the plate}'' and then play a board game, ''{The plate is pushed aside. Homestar is now at a table where the board game is set up, with a Trogdor meeple and two peasant meeples}'' called Trogdor!! The Board Game.

''{Homestar is now by himself again}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And these are the actions that you can do, ''{words on banners appear as Homestar recites them}'' they are move and chomp and hide and burrow and burninate! ''{speaking}'' What'd I tell ya? ''Super'' catchy!

''{Homestar ducks out of sight. Then he comes back.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Super catchy!

''{Homestar ducks out of sight. Then he comes back, this time hanging from the top of the screen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Never forget!

==Fun Facts==

===Remarks===
*Trogdor!! The Board Game is played on a 5 X 5 tile board, but in this toon, it is depicted as 6 X 5 tiles.
*Unlike the original stylization from [[lackey]], the top point of Homestar's star is shown to be slightly peeled off.
*Homestar has teeth in this toon.

===Inside References===
*The [[stylized character design]]s featured in this video are similar to those seen in an Easter egg in [[lackey]].
*Doreauxgard is depicted with a [[green tongue]].

==YouTube Version==
*The [[YouTube]] description for this toon is "Homestar sings the catchiest song ever to help you remember all the actions Trogdor can perform on each turn in the board game Trogdor!! The Board Game."
*The version on the Kickstarter only featured the song. The following extra scene was added when this toon was uploaded to YouTube.

===Transcript===
''{A live-action version of Puppet Homestar is standing behind a table with a Trogdor meeple and a plate of cantaloupe slices sitting on it.}''

'''PUPPET HOMESTAR:''' Hey! They finally made us into a real cartoon, Doreauxgard! Let's celebrate!

''{Puppet Homestar opens his mouth and leans over the plate as if to begin eating the slices, but the Doreauxgard puppet immediately pops up to interrupt him.}''

'''PUPPET DOREAUXGARD:''' You monster! What the crap? That was my Aunt Crenshaw! How could you do such a thing?

'''PUPPET HOMESTAR:''' ''{as Doreauxgard is speaking}''' Wah! Oh no! Oh, I'm sorry!

''{Puppet Homestar turns and walks off screen.}''

'''PUPPET DOREAUXGARD:''' ''{indistinct}''

''{Doreauxgard begins stroking the cataloupe slices in a consoling manner with his tongue.}''

'''PUPPET DOREAUXGARD:''' There there, Crenshaw.

''{Puppet Homestar slides back in.}''

'''PUPPET HOMESTAR:''' This is creepy.

''{Puppet Homestar slides back out.}''

'''PUPPET DOREAUXGARD:''' I'm sorry.

''{Puppet Homestar returns.}''

'''PUPPET HOMESTAR:''' That's just ina-pro-pro.

''{A title card for The Homestar Runner and Doreauxgard Show! with the rubber Ina-Pro-Pro stamp on it covers the screen with a loud buzzer.}''

'''PUPPET DOREAUXGARD:''' ''{sadly}'' This my only appendage.

174.62.238.201: /**/Flame protardant archer

== Bonus Cards ==
I got the Beefy Wyrmwood board for the game, and with the board itself I got some really broken cards. The cards are shown here. I suspect that if I got these outlandish cards here, I can only assume other people got different cards than these. If you have them, let's talk about them and possibly categorize them as such in the respective Keeper and Item parts.

[[File:Trogdor_Bonus_Cards_Back.jpg|200px]] [[File:Trogdor_Bonus_Cards_Face.jpg|200px]]

--[[User:AeroSnake|AeroSnake]] 01:19, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
:These are really interesting. I think they should be fully documented (including describing the “real” cards that have been “taped over”. -[[Special:Contributions/166.137.252.121|166.137.252.121]] 13:48, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
::Hmm, cards featuring [[Don't Make Daddy P.O.'d]], the Stupid Home Edition of [[The Show]] (from [[geddup noise]]), the Cobra-Pult (from [[what I want]]) and Color Wheel Roulette (from [[redesign]]). All games manufactured by [[Boardalectrix]]. I didn't even realize those games came with cards! -- [[Special:Contributions/68.37.43.131|68.37.43.131]] 21:28, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
:::There are cards of this type documented here, but not these in particular. Thanks, they'll be added here soon. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 23:25, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
::::That’d be worth seeing! --[[User:AeroSnake|AeroSnake]] 00:31, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

== Dang! ==

Why is't this putting the pictures side by side?!
--[[User:AeroSnake|AeroSnake]] 01:23, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
:How big is your monitor? It could be that the pictures are too wide. It looks fine to me. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 02:41, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
::Looks fine to me as well. I shrunk them because they took up so much space on this talk page, so maybe now you'll be able to see them side-by-side. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 23:25, 11 July 2019 (UTC)

== About Spacing and Another Thing ==

Thanks, that was the issue. Also, was it okay for me to upload those two pictures to the project? I read the rules for imagery uploadery (SB's style of words?) but am not sure if it's allowed to upload images that aren't personal, for discussion purposes, though they're relevant.
--[[User:AeroSnake|AeroSnake]] 04:09, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
:No problem! We upload images for discussions all the time. Also, you don't need to start a new discussion for every reply. Just edit the page, and in the next line, add a colon (:) and then your reply. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 23:25, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
::Thanks for the tip. I actually had a picture of the thank-you note for buying a Wyrmwood package, complete with a hand-drawn Strong Bad. I’ll upload that when I’m at my computer. --[[User:AeroSnake|AeroSnake]] 00:22, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

== Legal Stuff ==

How much of the game can we document here legally? Can we upload images of individual cards and tiles and stuff? The rulebook says "No part of this product may be reproduced without specific permission.", so does that include wiki-style documentation? Also, does that apply only to the rulebook, or to the entire game? I'd rather not have any visits from [[Litigation Jackson]]. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 02:27, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
:I'm not a legal expert or anything, but I would say uploading images of every single card would probably be a step too far. Like, go ahead and transcribe the whole thing in text, I'm sure that's fine. The rulebook especially, having a duplicate of the rules' full text written out online would be helpful for a lot of people. But personally, I'd think that having a full picture of every card might be overstepping a bit, even if they were particularly low-quality (and if they were, why even bother?). ''Maybe'' just the artwork from each card would be okay to include, but basically I think someone should '''''not''''' be able to fully assemble a facsimilie of the game out of our wiki documentation, y'know? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 02:40, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

== Reversible Meeples ==

It seems that some of the Meeples (at least the dragon ones, e.g. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcRTK2tSEfL64rZT_CQ064nbLk2RhoqQYNwzqrYRaFxmJI0RHQJE ) are reversible/printed on both sides. Does anyone actually have the game and can confirm/dispute? -[[Special:Contributions/107.77.76.56|107.77.76.56]] 13:56, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
:Every dragon has the same pattern on its reverse except one. Strong Mad’s DAGRON instead has Homsar’s “Toaster’s Choice” on the reverse side. This change was for something about existing Taster’s Choice, I believe. I personally think the Toaster variation is better. --[[User:AeroSnake|AeroSnake]] 23:48, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

== Flame protardant archer ==

What is the significance of the archer explicitly avoiding trogdor’s firey rage? The game ends after this action, right? -[[Special:Contributions/174.62.238.201|174.62.238.201]] 12:55, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Meeple Character Variations

174.62.238.201 — Tue, 16 Jul 2019 00:01:35 GMT

174.62.238.201: /* Peasantry Characters */ the dragons have the design printed on both sides

[[Trogdor!! The Board Game]] features '''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/meeple meeples]''' of various [[Peasantry]] characters, and add-on meeples of the [[Characters#Main characters|main characters]]. The main characters later appeared again in a Kickstarter toon, [[Meeple Grove]]. As defined by [[Strong Sad]] in said toon, a meeple is a wooden approximation of a human character in a tabletop game. The front of the meeples have only two or three colors (with some exceptions of four), while the back and sides of the meeple have only one color (bolded in the "Colors" section), except when necessary for gameplay. Their designs and are flat and blocky, and they have no outlines, except when necessary. When animated, they "shimmy in place" when they talk, and their mouths don't move.

Meeple Character Variations

174.62.238.201 — Mon, 15 Jul 2019 04:05:42 GMT

174.62.238.201: /* Dragons */ this is the only difference

[[Trogdor!! The Board Game]] features '''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/meeple meeples]''' of various [[Peasantry]] characters, and add-on meeples of the [[Characters#Main characters|main characters]]. The main characters later appeared again in a Kickstarter toon, [[Meeple Grove]]. As defined by [[Strong Sad]] in said toon, a meeple is a wooden approximation of a human character in a tabletop game. The front of the meeples have only two or three colors (with some exceptions of four), while the back and sides of the meeple have only one color (bolded in the "Colors" section), except when necessary for gameplay. Their designs and are flat and blocky, and they have no outlines, except when necessary. When animated, they "shimmy in place" when they talk, and their mouths don't move.

SHIPPING QUESTIONS:</big>

'''Q: Where can I buy Trogdor the Board Game?'''

A: The project's Kickstarter campaign has now ended. We will make a limited number of extras available in our Shopify store once the final deliveries of the Kickstarter have occurred. We expect this to be in late July / early August, 2019.

If you'd like to be notified when the game becomes available. Please email us at {{p|l=mailto:trogdorsupp@gmail.com trogdorsupp@gmail.com}}

'''Q: I backed the game on Kickstarter or purchased a game through BackerKit but have not yet received my game. What should I do?'''

A: The current delivery schedule is below.

*US - Started shipping to backers early July.
*Email '''''{{p|l=mailto:shipping@quartermasterlogistics.com shipping@quartermasterlogistics.com}}''''' for anything related to shipping. Email us at {{p|l=mailto:trogdorsupp@gmail.com trogdorsupp@gmail.com}} for all other questions. *Note: Due to the high number of backers in the US we expect shipping to take the entire month of July.
*Canada - Starts shipping to backers July 22nd.
*UK/Europe - Start shipping to backers mid July.
*Australia/New Zealand - Started shipping to backers end of June. Email '''''{{p|l=mailto:kickstarter@aetherworks.com.au kickstarter@aetherworks.com.au}}''''' for anything related to shipping. Email us at {{p|l=mailto:trogdorsupp@gmail.com trogdorsupp@gmail.com}} for all other questions.
*Asia - Starts shipping to backers mid July.

'''Q: I received my game, but a component is missing or damaged. What should I do?'''

A: Please email us at trogdorsupp@gmail.com with your order information and a description of the problem.

'''Q: My address has changed and I have not received my game yet? What should I do?'''

A: Please email us your order info and new address at {{p|l=mailto:trogdorsupp@gmail.com trogdorsupp@gmail.com}}

'''Q: I received my Wyrmwood board or box but no game or game pieces. Where's my Trogdor game?'''

A: All Wyrmwood boards/boxes are shipping directly from Wyrmwood without game pieces and they will handle any customer service issues related to their product. {{p|l=https://wyrmwoodgaming.com/promise/ You can contact them here}}. The game itself (and any add-ons, t-shirts, pins, etc.) will ship from the fulfillment hub in your region. ALL Wyrmwood tiers come with a Burninator version of the base game which includes both wooden meeples and plastic miniatures. The Wyrmwood tiers are called Beefy, Majesty, and Consummate. We realize those are a lot of Trogdor-related words and we apologize for any confusion.

<big>GENERAL:</big> 
'''Q: It says the game is for 1-6 players, are there special rules for playing solo?'''

A: No. Since the game is what some folk call "group solitaire," the gameplay is the same no matter how many are playing. If playing by yourself, we suggest adjusting the difficulty since you will only have one Keeper power and one Item at your disposal. For instance, you could:

*Play with less Troghammer cards (or exclude Trogham entirely)
*Treat the Lake Tile as a normal tile
*Put all three cottages in the corners of the map, making them easier to burninate

<big>GAME COMPONENTS & SETUP:</big> 
'''Q: What is the large, white box-thing inside my box for?'''

A: There are two versions of the game: the Standard Version with only wooden meeples and the Deluxe Version which also includes plastic miniatures. The white box-thing is where the plastic miniatures go in the deluxe version. In the standard version, it's just a spacer to keep the contents of your game from sliding around. Strong Sad has some suggestions for fun things to do with that spacer {{p|l=http://trogdorboardgame.homestarrunner.com/rules.html#myModal here}}.

'''Q: Do the plastic miniatures change the gameplay at all?'''

A: No, you can use them interchangeably. The only difference is that the plastic cottages have roofs that are separate from the base of the cottage. When you burninate a plastic cottage, you only flip the roof piece to reveal the flames. With the wooden meeples, you flip the entire cottage piece to show the flames on the back.

'''Q: What's this little white bag with the creepy face on it for?'''

A: That's the bag for Stack Em To The Heavens, a bonus stacking mini-game you can play with some of the wooden meeples ({{p|l=http://trogdorboardgame.homestarrunner.com/rules.html#myModal shown here}}). A Rules Card for Stack Em To The Heavens is included in your game. Stack Em To The Heavens is completely separate from the main Trogdor game and does not factor into the gameplay. Feel free to ignore it completely if you want. Oh, and the creepy face is {{p|l=http://trogdorboardgame.homestarrunner.com/rules.html#myModal Marshie the marshmallow}}. Prolly best to ignore him too.

'''Q: What are all these other dragon-ish meeples for?'''

A: Those are alternate Trogdors based on different interpretations of the burninator from the {{p|l=http://trogdorboardgame.homestarrunner.com/rules.html#myModal original cartoon that spawned Trogdor}} in the first place. They all function the same and do not change gameplay. So before you play, just pick your fav and leave the others in the box.

'''Q: Is the flame helmet included with the plastic miniatures supposed to snap onto the peasant's head?'''

A: No, it won't snap, like LEGO-snap. However, there is a 'right' way to put the helmet on where it fits more snugly. But either way it's more like it's resting on the peasant's head than fastened. Who fastens fire to their heads anyways, right? It should stay put enough while you move the flaming peasant around the board.

'''Q: Hey! Why come it says 'Toaster's Choice' instead of 'Taster's Choice'? You did it wrong!'''

A: We did that on purpose. We know it's different. Do YOU want to face the legal might of NESCAFE?!

'''Q: Do I have to set up the map the way you guys have it in the rulebook?'''

A: Nope! The suggestions shown in the Rulebook are just to get you started. You are welcome to come up with your own configurations to increase or decrease difficulty.

<big>KEEPERS & ITEMS:</big> 
'''Q: When can I use my Keeper powers and Items during the game?'''

A: Unless your Keeper or Item card states otherwise, you can only use your Keeper power or Item on your turn. Keeper powers are always available to you as long as it is your turn. Items, on the other hand, must be charged in order to use them on your turn.

'''Q: When can I recharge my Item?'''

A: You can only recharge your Item on your turn, unless otherwise stated on your Item card. For example, if your Item's recharge condition is, "When Trogdor visits the Lake tile," then you must have Trogdor visit the Lake tile during your turn in order to recharge it (FYI, 'visiting' a tile just means touching it during your movements, not ending your turn on it).

'''Q: If I recharge my Item during my turn, can I use it more than once?'''

A: No. You can only use an Item once per turn. However, you can use and recharge on the same turn and your item would be ready to go for your next turn. If you began your turn with an uncharged (or discharged) Item, you could feasibly recharge it, then use it, then recharge it again all on the same turn.

'''Q: The Item called 'Disk of Healing' says it has no recharge. Does that mean I can keep using it over and over again without recharging?'''

A: No. This means it is a one-time-use card that can only be used once per game. Don't tear it up or do anything crazy like those play-for-months type games though.

'''Q: What's up with these Keeper and Item cards that have tape and bad drawings on them?'''

A: Those were added to the game by Strong Bad, the wrestle-man who came up with Trogdor, who felt that the game needed more chaos. Feel free to use them when you play but, keep in mind, they may break the game in new and hilarious ways. Strong Bad did NOT playtest these cards which is why they say "Use at your own risk!" on them.

==Soundboard==
[[File:soundboard.png|right|200px|"A cooperative game of burnination, majesty, and consummate V's."]]
A '''soundboard''' is available to provide music and sound effects during gameplay. This is separate from the website, and does not have the same header or design.

There are three sections. The default section lists five background songs, as well as icons for good or bad events regarding Trogdor, peasants, burnination/enemies, or cottages. They are labelled "Something good happened" and "Something bad happened". The sounds are chosen randomly based on the icon clicked. Clicking the "MORE" button on the right will reveal the second section, which lists each individual sound, divided into "Strong Bad", "Sound Effects", "Background Music", and "Short Music" sections. Each sound has a specific title. Clicking "MORE" again will reveal the songs from the [[Trogdor!! The Board Game Rulebook EP]].

==Fun Facts==
===List of Website Updates===
*'''June 29, 2018''' — When the page first went up, there were several changes from the website now.
**The layout was blander, with a beige background, and there were no other pages.
**The logo was a red ribbon reading "TROGDOR!!", with "The Board Game" typed underneath.
**The scrolling plastic miniatures were originally at the top, and they were meeples. They could be clicked to reveal the miniature version.
**The description read "A cooperative game of burnination, majesty, and consummate V's." with the next line being "For 2-6 Players. Coming to Kickstarter July 17, 2018."
**There was a "Get Notified" link at the top that led the reader to the mailing list section at the bottom of the page.
**Originally, if "tothelimit" was typed and the page was clicked, the Trogdor meeple turned into a green [[Atari Dragon]] (referencing [[Everybody to the Limit]]). This was removed at an unknown date.
*'''June 30, 2018''' — The day after the page went up, links to the board game's [[wikipedia:Twitter|Twitter]] and [[wikipedia:Facebook|Facebook]] pages were added.
*'''July 17, 2018''' — The copyright notice at the bottom was added on the same day the redesigned Index Page was revealed, which included the same notice.
*'''After December 30, 2018''' — The "Get Notified" link was changed to "Pre-Order Now!", linking to a place you could pre-order the game.
*'''February 21, 2019''' —
**The logo changed from the [[:File:trogBanner.png|red ribbon banner]] to the box art logo, and the "The Board Game" text written underneath was removed.
**"For 2-6 Players. Coming to Kickstarter July 17th, 2018." was changed to "Shipping June 2019."
**The Twitter and Facebook links were removed from the header.
**Four photos of the Wyrmwood boards were added to the gallery.
*'''June 29, 2019''' —
**On the one-year anniversary of the site, it was redesigned completely, with a brand new layout and a wooden desk aesthetic. Everything was rearranged.
**The logo was changed to the current logo on the box.
**The image gallery was moved to the top, and the photos were updated.
**The description was expanded to what it is today.
**The "Pre-Order Now!" link was removed.
**Links to "Buy It Soon!", "Videos", "Rules / FAQs", "Rulebook Songs", and "Soundboard" were added at the top.
**The "News & Updates:" header was changed to "Shipping News & Updates!".
**The meeples scrolling across the screen were turned into plastic miniatures and moved to the bottom, above the mailing list section. The ability to click them to change them into plastic miniatures was removed. Additionally, the miniatures were changed to the newer, more detailed ink-washed versions.
**A second exclamation mark was added after "Trogdor!" in the page title, to match the punctuation of the board game.
*'''Less than a week after June 29, 2019''' — The video descriptions were changed from "Video text here" to actual descriptions.

===Trivia===
*Between the title and the description, there are images of plastic miniature pieces sliding across the screen, with four visible at a time (Troghammer, archers, Trogdor, unburninated cottage, burninated peasant, burninated cottage, knight, unburninated peasant, in that order). The images wiggle if the mouse pointer is hovered over them.
*The "mailing list" notice at the bottom is nearly identical to the one on the [[Index Page]], even using the same example email address.
*The Atari Dragon uses its design from the [[Atari 2600]] game [[wikipedia:Adventure (Atari 2600)|Adventure]], rather than its regular [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] design.
*This website was designed by Joe Peacock, the same person who is [http://new.homestarrunner.com redesigning] the Index Page, as indicated by the copyright notice.
*On the soundboard, the song [[When The Knight Moves Thru Ya]] is listed as "The Knight Moves Thru Ya".

===Remarks===
*The Videos page doesn't include [[Six-Sadded, Die]], [[Trogdor Live Playtest @ GenCon]], [[Meeple Grove]], [[Wyrmwood Video]], and [[Final Hours Playthrough]].
**[[Six-Sadded, Die. - Don't Make Daddy P.O.'d]], [[SBCG4AP Playthrough]], and [[Trogdor Was Dragon Man]] are absent as well, although their absence can be explained by the fact that they aren't as directly related to the board game.
*"Trogdor!! The Board Game"'s punctuation is inconsistent in many of the updates, written as "Trogdor! The Board Game!", "Trogdor: The Board Game", "Trogdor- The Board Game".
*Until June 29, 2019, the bottom of the page still mentioned that the reader can sign up for the mailing list to find out when the Kickstarter launches, despite the Kickstarter having ended months before.
*The [[Meeple Character Variations#Old Archer|old archer meeple]] was still used until June 29, 2019, when the meeples were removed from the page.

===Goofs===
*"Trogdor" is misspelled as "Trodor" in the [[Stack 'Em to the Heavens!]] description on the Videos page.
*Some links on the FAQ link to the same page with "#myModal" at the end of the URL, and don't seem to do anything.

===Inside References===
*"[[Edgar]]Jr@traindropper.com" references the [[Strong Bad Email]]s [[virus]] and [[long pants]].
*"[[Kicking The Cheat|Kickcheater]]" is a reference to [[sbemail206]].

'''Page Title:''' How Long Does it Load Again?

==Transcript==
''{The scene opens in the Field. Folly enters and looks toward the camera.}''

'''FOLLY:''' For the next April Fools' thing, why doesn't it do, like, there's a picnic...

''{A rolled-up picnic blanket appears and unrolls itself.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ...and there's like... and there's a bunch of food in it...

''{An apple, a sandwich, a bag of "CH'P", a second sandwich, and a pie appear on the blanket.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ...and a picnic basket...

''{All the food moves together and a basket appears around it.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ...and... ''{considers}'' then Bubs is like...

''{Bubs appears next to the basket.}''

'''FOLLY and BUBS:''' ''{both waving their arms}'' Picnic! Picnic! Picnic!

'''FOLLY:''' And then Homestar shows up and says "blah"!

''{Homestar walks up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Blah.

'''FOLLY:''' And then Strong Bad shows up and says "blah"!

''{Strong Bad flies in from over the bushes in the background and lands on the blanket.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Blah.

'''FOLLY:''' And then everybody shows up and says "blah"!

''{The camera cuts back a little to show all the other main characters standing nearby.}''

'''ALL BUT FOLLY, BUBS, HOMESTAR, STRONG BAD, and THE POOPSMITH:''' Blah!

''{Cut back in so those characters are offscreen. Homestar and Strong Bad are no longer present.}''

'''FOLLY:''' And then Bubs is like "I'm closing the shop! Nobody's buying this picnic!"

''{Bubs disappears into the basket, and the blanket rolls up around the basket and disappears.}''

'''FOLLY:''' And then, and then, and then there's a loading sign...

''{Scene cuts to a loading screen, using the same drawing style and colors as Folly. The letters of "loading" grow and shrink in sequence.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...and it loads for, like, one hundred seconds, and then, and then... and...

''{A timer appears under the "loading sign" and counts the seconds.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ''{voiceover, apparently unsure how to continue}'' ...and it loads for one hundred seconds, and th—... and then it's like... and... and then it... and then... and then it's like... ''{the audio repeats:}'' and it loads for one hundred seconds... and th—... and then it's like...

''{As the timer reaches "00:25", abrupt cut to the computer room. Strong Bad is in front of the Lappier.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rhythmically}'' If I can't check my email, then how I'm supposed to live my life? ''{brings up an email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
Dear Strong Bad, 
what do you do to keep up your personal 
motivation and inspiration? 
Sincerely, Mollie B.
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads the greeting as "Dingle Dongle dear Stringle Bongle".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that is a waste of a perfectly good middle "B" initial, Mollie! Lemme fix that for ya! ''{edits the name to:}'' Sincerely, Mollie B. Chowdwerworth Gruelmanger. You know, of the Puntington Farms Gruelmangers. ''{moves his cursor down next to the prompt}'' There we go. ''{typing}'' For motivation, I do what any great coach does, and berate myself until I get results or until I quit the team and press charges!

''{Cut to the locker room, as Strong Bad shouts into a mirror:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Chowderworth Gruelmanger?! You call that an overly-complicated old-timey last name?! That is bush-league, son! I am sick and tired of this crap! And I'm sick of losing to Purdue!

''{Cut back to show Coach Z standing nearby, twirling a jock strap.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Now that fella really knows how to mortavort a porson.

''{Cut back to the Lappier}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' There's also that weird jocked-up thing of punching yourself in the face to get motivated. But unless you happen to have boxing gloves for hands, I wouldn't recommend it.

''{Cut to Strong Mad sitting at a table next to a glass of orange juice.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' YOU CAN DO IT, STRONG MAD. ''{pounds the table}'' YOU CAN TALK TO ORANGE JUICE!

''{He winds up his right fist, aimed at himself. Strong Bad leans in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, Strong Mad, wait—

''{Strong Mad punches himself in the face and falls offscreen. Strong Bad winces as he lands. Cut back to the Lappier.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But if you can afford it, no force is more motivational than...spiky ceiling that closes in on you!

''{Cut to the basement of the Brothers Strong. Strong Sad is holding a video game controller and looking panicked, as Strong Bad coaches him and a spiky ceiling slowly descends over them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You better beat this end boss or we're all gonna die! We're all gonna die!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{frantically hitting buttons}'' Aah! It keeps making me jump when I'm not pressing juuuuuuump!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or we're all gonna diiiii—

''{One of the spikes pokes into Strong Bad's head. Cut back to the Lappier.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' As for the inspirasche, you know how people always say, ''{mockingly}'' "inspiration sneaks up on you." Well, I like-a to turn the tables!

''{Cut to Bubs in his Concession Stand, waving his arms back and forth. Strong Bad tiptoes behind it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I sneak up on people and force ''them'' to inspire ''me!''

''{Strong Bad peeks around the side of the Stand.}''

'''BUBS:''' Well, I'll just continue doing what I was just doing, and...

''{Strong Bad jumps out in front of Bubs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' INSPIRE ME!

'''BUBS:''' Aaah! Mlg— leg boats!

''{Strong Bad lowers his eyelids, unimpressed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Leg boats? That all ya got?

'''BUBS:''' Er, yeah! It's like a little boat that your legs go inside of!

'''STRONG BAD:''' So it's a kayak.

'''BUBS:''' No, no. For while you're standing up.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So it's water skis.

'''BUBS:''' Yeah, yeah. 'Cept it's called "leg boats".

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's not inspiring! ''{starts to walk off}'' Guess I'll just walk away and ''{quickly jumps back} {rapidly}'' no I'm not just kidding INSPIRE ME!

'''BUBS:''' Aaah! File!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah?

'''BUBS:''' Um... folder...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeeeeah?

'''BUBS:''' ...shaped vitamins?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now that's inspiring!

''{Cut to a bottle of "Smarty Juice File Folder Shaped Vitamins".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Yes, File Folder Shaped Vitamins: because office workers lead hollow lives, and this is the kind of thing they'd be into.

''{A few "vitamins" appear. A different tagline appears under the bottle: "Great for the break room or maybe a desk drawer!". Cut back to the Lappier.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You see Madam Chowdygruel, if you know the right techniques, you too can motivate and inspire gimmicky white-collar products that they sell in the checkout line at the office supply store. Oooh! Which just inspired me to think of—

''{A page slides in from the left, covering the screen. Several advertisements are visible, including an ad for the vitamins and, next to it, an ad for "File Folder Shaped Vitamin Shaped Thumbdrive!!", with a picture of a USB thumb drive that looks like a red vitamin.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —File Folder Shaped Vitamin Shaped Thumbdrives! Available in never show up on your desktop ''{text is added underneath the drive reading "*Never show up on your desktop"}'' and some-the-times show up on your desktop ''{another purple thumb drive appears with text reading "*Some-the-times show up on your desktop"}'' varieties!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Always be'sing and do'sing!

''{Cut to the computer room, showing Homestar sitting on a boulder next to Strong Bad's desk, turned away from Strong Bad with a concentrated face.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And never cheesing or choosing! Always be'sing and do'sing!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Er... Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And never cheesing or choosing!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looking back at Strong Bad; normally}'' Yeah, what?

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're in my house.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yup. ''{closes his eyes and nods}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Again.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeppers.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aaand you brought a boulder.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Not me. Plate tectonics.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{jumping up}'' What are you doin' in here, man?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. ''{swings his legs around to face Strong Bad}'' Well, I heard you talking about motivation and inspiration, and I decided to brush off my old ''{stands up}'' ABD's!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Umm, Aloud But Deadly?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You don't know about the ABD's, Strong Bad?

''{Several seconds pass as some white noise plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whispering, aside}'' I'm just gonna stay silent in the hope that you won't tell me what it means.

''{The noise stops and instructional music starts as Homestar brings down a screen labelled "smawtboud", reading "The ABC's of the ABD's: '''A'''lways '''B'''e'sing & '''D'''o'sing".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Always be'sing and do'sing!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{eyelids lowered}'' You say that like it clarified anything.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sits down, resting one leg on the other}'' Rules for an inspired life, Strong Bad. No matter what you do, or where you are, ''{stomps with each word except "and"}'' always be's be'sing and do'sing.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So you started a cult.

''{music stops}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{shrugs}'' Yeah, kinda. For instance, I am currently be'sing on this boulder ''{lifts his legs and swivels them back and forth}'' and I am do'sing an ABD workshop with you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, okay. Then ''{music restarts}'' I am be'sing ''{curls fists in front of himself}'' full of rage, and do'sing a roundhouse kick to your face!

''{Strong Bad jumps toward Homestar, leg outstretched. He stops in midair as Homestar starts speaking, then drops down to the floor. The music stops.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Nooope, nope nope, that was some prime choosing you committed right there. Did you see it?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, what's wrong with choosing?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Cheesing and choosing. ''{music restarts}'' The antithesis of be'sing and do'sing! If you're choosin', you're losin'.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just because something rhymes doesn't mean it's good life advice!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah! And that's a perfect example of cheesing! You're a textbook case, Strong Bad. Textbook! Aaand speaking of textbooks, don't forget to purchase my new book at the upcoming...

''{Cut to a blue screen.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{these words appear in the upper left:}'' Always Be's Do'sing ''{these words appear in the upper-right:}'' 3 Day Life Cleanse Seminar ''{a logo for Bubsmfort Inn & Suites Conference Center appears at the bottom}'' at Bubsmfort Inn and Suites Conference Center!

'''ANNOUNCER:''' All this and more at the Always Be's Do'sing 3 Day Life Cleanse Seminar!

''{The screen darkens and goes out of focus as Homestar pops up over it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If you're not attending, you're gonna be... lending. ''{unsure}'' Your neighbor... a... yard tool... like a shovel. Or a rake. Yeah. Yeah, that's great. ''{quickly}'' See you at the conference! ABD! Not a cult! Wooo! ''{runs offscreen}''

''{The commercial comes back to focus as the CGI Paper comes down.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' C-G-eeow!

''{After a few seconds, cut back to the "loading" screen, the timer now reading "00:95".}''

''{The timer hits "00:100" and then immediately cuts back to Folly and Bubs in the field.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ...and then it's like... ''{considers}'' Stinkoman comes up and punches Bubs in the face.

''{Stinkoman walks up to Bubs, suddenly becomes muscular, shouts, and punches Bubs into the distance. As he disappears into the sky, the words "happy april fools' day" appear in the "loading" font.}''

'''Date:''' Tuesday, June 30, 2009

'''Running Time:''' 5:04

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==
''{Homestar is sitting at his [[hremail]] desk. He has bags under his eyes and is slouching. He slips further and further down over the next line.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{half-mumbling}'' And that, Gordon Tiecollarondemous, is why I decided to ''keep'' calling you Gordon Tiecollarondemous...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{from off-screen}'' Aaah! ''{A record scratch is heard.}'' I can't takes it no more!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, screaming.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Somebody hand me a rake!

''{A rake is handed to Strong Bad. He grabs it and smacks Homestar with it. A white flash and an explosive-like effect on Homestar are seen when this happens.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Raaaake!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dropping the rake}'' Somebody hand me a shovel!

''{A shovel is handed to him. He smacks Homestar with it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Shovel!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dropping the shovel}'' Somebody hand me a Garden Weasel!

''{A cultivator is handed to Strong Bad. Again, he hits Homestar. Homestar comes back up with a "CENSORED" sign over his face; bruises and a stream of blood can be seen around it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{calmly}'' Aw, a Weasel.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{wiping his brow}'' Phew.

''{Pan over to show Marzipan, holding the rake and shovel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, Marzipan!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Always happy to help!

''{Cut to the Lappy. Strong Bad sits down in front of it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sorry, Lappy. My triumphant return to checking emails calls for some fresh blood!

''{He closes the Lappy, leaving a faint backwards "Lappy 486" in the wall behind it. He pushes it off to the side.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Tech nerds, feast your eyes... on ''Steak Sandwich!''

''{He places said sandwich on the desk in front of him to a trumpet fanfare. Cut to a solo image of the sandwich.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The Steaky Steaky 6 Millenium Edition ''{a steak-shaped logo for this appears in the corner}'' is a processing wonder horse, capable of sauteed onions, ''{a logo for "Sauteed Onions Ghz" appears}'' grilled mushrooms, ''{a logo for "Grilled Mushrooms 32x" appears}'' and all right, never mind.

''{The Steak logo swivels as though its left side was no longer supported while the other logos fall off the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' This is just a steak sandwich, isn't it?

''{Cut to a rear view of the desk, as Strong Bad looks at the sandwich.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I guess I'm a little... out-of-practice with this stuff. ''{to the Lappy}'' All right, Lappy, you can stay alive for at least one more week.

''{He pushes the sandwich aside and returns the Lappy to its rightful position. He opens the Lappy and a startup tone is heard. Cut to behind Strong Bad. The Female Lappy is visible.}''

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' Another week with you, Strong Bad, is like 8 dog-weeks in cat-years.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, are you sure you're not Senor Cardgage's computer?

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' ''{from offscreen}'' No...

''{Cut back to show Senor Cardgage standing near Strong Bad, holding the sandwich. Strong Bad is smiling.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' This steak samwich is Beverly ''clearly'' my complooter, Bathsheba.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still smiling}'' Hey, Cardgage! D'you wanna help me come out of e-tirement?

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Ummmmm... no.

''{Strong Bad lowers his head in disappointment. Senor Cardgage turns around and starts walking in place while his hair gets slightly blown, and sounds of traffic are heard. Strong Bad looks up in confusion, and starts to nervously lean back.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sounding uncomfortable}'' I'm quite scared right now.

''{Cut to the Lappy as Strong Bad turns back to it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's start over. ''{types "strongbad_email.exe"}'' Oh, man, I haven't checked my email in so long, I bet there's gonna be a half-zillion messages waiting for me!

''{He presses Return. The following comes up with a ding: "Oh, smokes! You have 2 new messages!", which are "Coolness" from "Kelly" and "Thanks for loaning me your rake" from "Homestar".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Well, a half-''four'' messages waiting for me isn't bad. ''{He brings up "Coolness".}''

<blockquote class="lappy email"><div>subject: coolness</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
What was the coolest explosion you ever saw? 
 
From, 
Kelly 
USA
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad echoes his own name. He says Kelly's name in a slightly seductive tone, leading into "USA" as "Oosa".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mmmm! An exotic lady from the far east! ''{typing}'' That's kind of a vague question don'tcha think? That's like me asking, "Dear Kelly, what's your favorite molecule of air that you've breathed?" ''{not typed}'' Or... ''{clears screen, typing:}'' "What's your favorite Strong Bad muscle that you wanted to rub with hot oils?" You gotta narrow it down somehow. Like, do you wanna know about the coolest looking explosion I ever rigged up in Strong Sad's org-ethnic breakfast pouch on a Tuesday?

''{Cut to the kitchen of the Brothers Strong. Strong Bad is pretending to eat from a cereal bowl with a spoon. Strong Sad is standing next to him, wearing a tuxedo, and looking expectantly at a toaster.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{poorly acting}'' Mmm. This cereal is sooooo cerealy.

''{The toaster pops up a breakfast pastry with a conspicuous red light on it. Strong Sad catches it. Over the next line, the light begins to blink faster and faster while making ticking noises.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, child! I am gonna enjoy this saag paneer Pop-Tart with a vengeance! Then I've got to go stand around in this tuxedo with a ven— OOOHHH!!

''{The Pop-Tart explodes into green goo, which gets all over Strong Sad and leaves a couple of green stain drips on the camera.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Waa-ha-ha-ha-ha!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Or do you wanna know like, the coolest explosion I ever saw that had one of those blast-wavy Saturn rings around it that've become so popular lately.

''{Cut to Strong Bad in his bathroom, holding a newspaper.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 'Cause I've caused ''plenty'' of those.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But the coolest part was actually later on, when I was telling Coach Z all about it.

''{Cut to the Athletic Field. Strong Bad is talking to Coach Z.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And so first, there was this little explosion, that was like, "Dooooooj!" ''{some drops of spit fly away from him toward Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' Ya don't say?

'''STRONG BAD:''' And then secondary charges blew and it was like, "Ka-plssshhhhh!" ''{more drops of spit fly toward Coach Z, who draws back}''

'''COACH Z:''' You say?

'''STRONG BAD:''' And finally one of those blast-wavy Saturn rings that've become so popular lately shot out, and was like, "PSSSSSSHHHHH!!!!"

''{Strong Bad draws out the explosion. A wave of spit drops flies toward Coach Z for nearly eight seconds. As Strong Bad continues the explosion, Coach Z pulls out a bar of soap and a bottle of "PORT PLUS +". He rubs the soap on his body and dumps some shampoo over his hat. He then tosses the bottle away and rubs his hat, which becomes sudsy.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Thanks for the great story, Strong Bad! I was gonna hit the showers, but now I don't has to!

''{Strong Bad spits a few more drops toward Coach Z. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Everybody knows that the more spit it takes to describe an explosion, the cooler said explosion was. ''And'' the cooler said explosion-talker-abouter is!

''{Cut to Strong Sad talking to Coach Z in the Athletic Field.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And then my saag paneer Pop-Tart said-a, like... "Ptoo."

''{A single large drop of spit flies toward Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{angrily}'' Are you kiddin' me? I can't even warsh my hands with that mess!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But if history has taught us anything, then we all know that the coolest explosions have come from my very own computers.

''{A quick montage results where the Tandy explodes, throwing Strong Bad back, Strong Bad knocks the Tandy off the desk with an inexplicable explosion, Bubs' shotgun blows a hole in the Compy, Strong Mad gulps from a mini-explosion from the Compy, and the Tandy explodes in a green pixelated mushroom cloud with Homestar nearby. Cut back to the Lappy, with the female Lappy visible.}''

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' But waimt, Strong Bad, does that means?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm afraid so, sweet Lappy. I figured that USB self-destruct button I bought a couple weeks ago woulda clued you in.

''{Cut to a closeup of a big red button with "dooj" written on it, connected to the Lappy via USB. Then cut to a rear view of the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But... it's time. ''{Cut to behind Strong Bad}'' Why wait around for someone else to blow up your computer tomorrow when you can blow it up yourself today?

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' You should put that on your bwees-ness cards.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sadly}'' That's a great idea, Lappy. ''{cut to rear view of the desk}'' Good bye. ''{presses the button}'' Dooj.

''{Cut to a silhouette of the house with a tree (without leaves) beside it. An explosion knocks the tree away and blows the roof clear of the house. Two shockwaves appear as part of the explosion.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So popular lately.

''{A ghostly image of the Female Lappy icon with fangs appears in the explosion while a beating heart sound is heard.}''

''{Cut to Bubs and Coach Z on lawn chairs, watching the explosion.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oooooor! Awwwwwr! 
'''BUBS:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Ooooooh! Awwwwww!

'''COACH Z:''' I can't wait till Strong Bad tells me 'bout that one! I'm'a go ahead and strip down to da nude!

'''BUBS:''' ''{pointing at Coach Z}'' Ponk!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, standing next to the desk. Strong Bad himself is unharmed, but the desk is broken in two from the explosion and the paint has been torn away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And now that—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{poking in from the side; quickly}'' Don't call it a comeback.

'''STRONG BAD:''' —is what I call—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{more angrily; still quickly}'' Don't call it a comeback.

'''STRONG BAD:''' —a—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{disappears off the side and reappears upside-down}'' Don't call it a comeback.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{jumping forward on his knee}'' —comeback!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{disappears and reappears rightside-up, makes an annoyed sigh}''

''{Homestar disappears while Strong Bad looks upward.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, if a paper survived that, maybe come down... now?

''{Black ashes fall from the top of the screen. Strong Bad looks down at them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Looks like I need a new one of those, too.

*This is the only [[hremail]] accessible from [[Denny's Menu]], as well as the only one accessible from outside the [[New Stuff]] page, not counting the unnamed hremail in [[email thunder]].
*There is no link to email Strong Bad in this email.

===Remarks===
*Assuming that [[Hremail 7]] takes place in 2001, Homestar would have to have answered an average of one Hremail per day to attain 3184 by mid-2009.
**Assuming that both this Hremail and [[Hremail 2000]] take place at or near their release dates, Homestar would have had to answer 7 or 8 Hremails per day for nearly 5 months straight to get up to Hremail 3184 by late June. This would mesh well with Homestar's fatigued state.
*In [[virus]], the virus caused everything to become corrupted. As part of the corruption, Bubs's shotgun resembled Homestar's leg. However, in the flashback, the shotgun is clearly still a shotgun even before the [[Compy 386]] is shot.
**After the virus was gone, Bubs was seen using a pump action shotgun, when in this clip, it is a double-barreled shotgun.
*Homestar Runner's email was not blocked by [[Edgar's Baby's Daddy]] or his Idiot Filter, as all Homestar emails are in [[candy product]] and [[Strong Badia the Free]], respectively.
*The Tandy 400 explosion from [[gimmicks]] was strong enough to blast Strong Bad through the wall of Strong Sad's room and severely burn his mask, yet the computer room showed no visible damage. The Lappy 486 explosion, on the other hand, was powerful enough to blast the roof off of Strong Bad's house, cleave his desk in two, blow a hole in the wall, and burn one or both of the [[The Paper|Papers]] to ashes, yet left Strong Bad completely unharmed.
*The USB standard had not yet been invented at the time 486-based laptops were available.
*This email contains several instances of [[Deliberately Poor English]].
*Marzipan's Garden Weasel has five wheels with four tines each, while real models have six wheels with eight tines each.
*The subject of Kelly's message, "Coolness", is spelled with a capital 'C' when shown in Strong Bad's inbox. However, when Strong Bad opens the message, "coolness" is displayed with a lowercase 'c'.
*Strong Bad claims to have bought the self-destruct button a couple weeks ago, although at the beginning of the email he was not expecting to be using the Lappy anymore.
*The word "contrast" on the Tandy is in a different font in this email in its first and third appearances than it was in the emails the scenes were pulled from.
*Bubs has an older design in this email, possibly because the scene he was in was possibly recycled from [[Happy Fireworks]].
*The Cheat predicted the Lappy would be destroyed in Sbemail 200 in [[Place ya bets!]]. He was only one email off from the truth.
*Strong Bad remarks in [[Biz Cas Fri 3]] that the computer explosion in that toon is the worst one he's ever seen; yet it is not featured in the montage of computer explosions in this toon.

===Goofs===
*When Homestar is hit with the Garden Weasel, his face is still visible. The bruises, scars, and blood only appear ''after'' the camera zooms in.
*When the ashes of the paper come down, they fall in front of Strong Bad, but after, some are behind Strong Bad on the floor. Also, although Strong Bad does not move, he is standing on some of the ashes as well.
*When Strong Bad is holding the Garden Weasel and wiping his head, the arm wiping his head is not visible.
*The word "millennium" is misspelled during the description of the steak sandwich.
*For one frame the black part of Strong Bad's mask in the reflection comes off the Tandy when Strong Bad punches it.
*Strong Bad's pants switch from having a purple sheen to having a gray sheen during the course of the cartoon.
*When Strong Bad asks Kelly if she wants to know about the coolest explosion with "blast-wavy Saturn rings around it that've become so popular lately", he puts a period after it, when the sentence is in the form of a question.


===Inside References===
*The text on the mug on Homestar's desk appears to read "Auntie Gertr♥de's Tea", which is likely a reference to [[Aunt Gert]], the pantyhose doll from [[garage sale]].
*The explosion montage comprises scenes from [[gimmicks]], [[invisibility]] (slightly modified; see below), [[virus]] (not previously depicted), [[retirement]] (B), and [[retirement]] (A), respectively.
**In his flashback, the broken [[Tandy 400]] explodes when Strong Bad knocks it off his desk. There was no such explosion in [[invisibility]].
*The broken section of wall above the destroyed desk is the same shape as the the broken section of wall behind the Compy at the end of [[virus]].
*[[Dooj]], as the USB self-destruct button reads, is a common sound effect used for explosions in the Homestar Runner universe.
*The scene of Bubs and Coach Z in the field is reminiscent of [[Happy Fireworks]], in which the two watched [[fireworks]] in a similar fashion.
**Likewise, the can of [[Cold One#Coldson Lite|Coldson Lite]] reappears.
**This toon was released just several days before the 4th of July, the holiday Happy Fireworks was about.
*Strong Sad's "Gardenboy" wrestling persona (seen in the Easter egg) originated in the email [[yes, wrestling]].
*The entire toon is about [[explosions]].
*Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]] when Senor Cardgage first shows up in his house, and he and [[Strong Sad Smiling|Strong Sad]] both smile in the Pop-Tart scene.
*Although censored, [[blood]] can still be seen trickling down Homestar Runner's face after being hit with the garden weasel.
*The scene in which Strong Bad introduces his "new computer" is a parody of the [[Lappy 486]]'s intro in the email [[animal]]. The background is originally from [[The Show]].
*Strong Bad's description of the explosion to Coach Z includes [[spitting]].
*Coach Z's "Port Plus" was previously mentioned in [[Jibblies 2]], where he asked the [[Jibblies Painting]] for some.
*The Lappy's pronunciation "bwees-ness" was used previously in [[theme park]], where Strong Bad makes fun of how the email's author misspells "business".
*Strong Sad exclaiming "[[Oh, child]]!" echoes [[retirement]], when the Lappy exclaimed the same thing.
*The "Fightin' Coach Zs" logo from [[One Two, One Two]] appears on the athletic field.
*Strong Bad's line "Aaah! I can't takes it no more!" from offscreen is reminiscent of [[First Time Here?]].
*"Org-ethnic" is a [[portmanteau]] of "[[organic]]" and "ethnic".
*The [[fang]]ed Lappy previously appeared in [[SBCG4AP]], when the player [[deleted]] an email.
*Strong Bad imitating an echo when he reads "Dear Strong Bad," is reminiscent of the beginning of [[redesign]], in which Strong Bad's voice actually echoed as he read those words. (Said email had also been released after an [[Acknowledged Update Delays|extensive hiatus]] between Strong Bad Emails.)
*Strong Bad reading "Da Newspapes" in the bathroom refers to [[candy product]] and [[underlings]], complete with matching articles and similar one-liners.
*The pop-tart scene involves Strong Bad [[Poor Acting|acting poorly]].

===Real-World References===
*The [[Wikipedia:Garden Weasel|Garden Weasel]] is a garden implement made famous mainly through late night infomercials.
*Strong Bad's remark that Kelly-Usa sounds the name of "an exotic lady from the far east" is a reference to the [[Snopes:business/genius/usa.asp|urban legend]] about Japan renaming a town Usa so that Japanese-made goods could be labeled "Made in USA" during the 1960s (a time when Japanese-made goods were considered inferior). This legend was also referenced in [[Donut Unto Others]]. The town exists, but it was called that long before the 1960s, and there is no evidence that such a deception ever occurred.
*Senor Cardgage's "Beverly clearly" is a reference to children's author [[Wikipedia:Beverly Cleary|Beverly Cleary]].
*A [[Wikipedia:Pop-Tarts|Pop-Tart]] is a popular breakfast pastry that comes in several flavors and is commonly prepared with a toaster.
*Coach Z's "PORT PLUS +" is a reference to the shampoo/conditioner "[[Wikipedia:Pert Plus|Pert Plus]]".
*Strong Bad's "Dooj" button resembles the "Easy" button from commercials for [[Wikipedia:Staples Inc.|Staples]], an office supply chain.
*The fanged Lappy appearing in a cloud over Strong Bad's house could also be a reference to the movie poster for the original [[Wikipedia:Fright Night|Fright Night]] which featured a female vampire face baring its fangs in a cloud over the hero's house.
*Homestar's repeating the phrase "Don't call it a comeback" is a reference to the first line of "[[WIkipedia:Mama Said Knock You Out (song)|Mama Said Knock You Out]]" by [[Wikipedia:LL Cool J|LL Cool J]].
*Those "blast-wavy Saturn rings that've become so popular lately" is commonly referred to as the [[Wikipedia:Praxis effect|Praxis Effect]], named after the explosion of the Klingon moon of the same name at the beginning of the movie [[Wikipedia:Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country|Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country]]. Its use in the movie is generally considered to be the first acknowledged use of the effect.
*Bubs's PONK! drink is likely a reference to the Scout's BONK! energy drink from ''[[Wikipedia:Team Fortress 2|Team Fortress 2]]''. Bubs shouts "Ponk!" in the same manner the Scout shouts "Bonk!" in that game.
*Gardenboy's line in the Easter egg that he doesn't care if Marzipan is a "women's champion or man's champion..." is a nod to [[Wikipedia:Andy Kaufman|Andy Kaufman]], the intergender wrestling champion.

Talk:Interrupted Conversations

174.62.238.201 — Thu, 04 Jul 2019 02:02:22 GMT

174.62.238.201: /* Rename */

==Page merit==
It seems to me like this page is all about when a character walks on the screen and other characters' conversations end. I just think this page has no value, no offense to its editor. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 15:20, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

:Seems like an ok page to me. Let's see how much it gwors first. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 15:27, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

::The name is confusing, I thought it was about conversations that are actually interrupted by something, and my first thought was "delete this now..." but actually reading it reveals it's actually about times where we only catch the tail-end of a conversation. I vote build it up a bit, and move it to a better name. Maybe [[Half-missed conversations]]? {{User:Phlip/sig}} 17:17, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

:::I dunno, it seems like a collection of conversation ending lines to me. I mean, a character walks into a place where two other characters are conversing. Do we need to write down those lines on two pages (the toon page and a serperate page)? I don't think so. We really don't need to catalogue every conversation ender. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 22:44, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

::::I think this is an interesting topic, personally. It could use some serious work, though. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 23:46, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

If any of you guys have the DVD collection, TBC did comment on this subject in [[crying]]. So maybe it is okay to keep it.
-[[User:CoachD|CoachD]]

::I think if we actually got some interrupted conversations, like in [[bottom 10]] when SB is about to say what number 1 is and then gets interrupted by Homestar, then we could actually get this article rolling. Otherwise, we should clean it up and move it to a different name. {{User:Lopp3/sig}} 16:46, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Accept. [[User:Thatkidsam|Thatkidsam]] 12:08, April 22, 2006 (UTC)

I think this page is fairly interesting, at least compared to some I've seen lately. Only, as it stands, the current picture has nothing to do with the article. -{{User:YK/sig}} 01:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
:I say change the focus solely to conversations where we missed the beginning and/or context, and then rename it. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 02:22, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
::I completely agree. This page is a bit too specific; a more open sort of page name (and content) would help greatly. I think the page has massive potential; it just needs to change its goal around a bit. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 22:47, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Keep the title. It's fine. As for the cleanup.... we have sysops, right? Maybe they can vote on what or what not should go in this. [[User:Doctorwho295|Doctorwho295]] 11:53 April 23, 2009 (UTC)

I am still 100% behind this page, but I really do thing it needs to be renamed to "Partial conversations" The current title seems like it means conversations that are interuppted as opposed to allready going. {{unsigned|86.159.61.141|00:38, 27 November 2009}}

== The scope of the page ==

The heading implies that it only refers to conversations that the watcher only hears the last part of, but then describes truly interrupted conversations that don't fit the pattern. Which is it? I think it should be restricted only to the former, as the latter doesn't strike me as particularly running-gag-ish. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:20, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
:Yes, that's how it should be. Things like "Yeah, you stay over there!" are exactly what we're looking for, but Homestar interrupting Strong Bad's bottom 10 aren't. I'm going to go ahead and do a little cleanup here. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 20:25, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
::Yeah. A page about nonsensical conversation that we hear the tail end of is marginally useful; a page listing every dang time somebody gets interrupted isn't. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 21:15, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
:::If we are changing the name the article, How about, "Partial Convertions" {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 21:32, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
::::As opposed to "Partial Conversions." "I'm ''half'' saved! Glory halle-! Praise the Lo-!" Okay, I'll be good now. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 21:44, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
Err... this article still needs some severe pruning to go by these standards. Time to delete stuff? - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 02:08, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
:Hmm. Some conversations we do get the start of, but not the end of, are running gaggish - "Reg at the top of the tee" strikes me as one - so I would be careful how lines are drawn. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:42, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

One year later: This article is still not doing what it is intended to. So I'm going to remove all of the entries that I don't think fit the running gag and put them here.

*Email [[trevor the vampire]] — While typing, Strong Bad interrupts himself and says "—Oh, no! I get it! They got him!"
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0]] — [[Marzipan]] is interrupted by the beep from her phone while singing her introduction song.
*[[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]] — Homestar Runner is interrupted by a buzzer while counting to ten.
*Email [[bottom 10]] — Nibbles is interrupted by the narrator for the [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows]] commercial.

You can now see a common theme among what is left on the article. As it has been mentioned before, "interrupted conversations" is not the best title for this gag. This is more of a "times when the viewer gets dropped into the middle of a conversation." More intriguingly, the entries that I removed are actually the speech lines that ''are'' interrupted. With that, does anybody have a technical-sounding way to describe how the viewer gets dropped into the middle of a conversation (and it usually happens after a scene cut)?

—[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 05:16, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

== Reg and the Top o' the Key ==

Does this really have a place here? This is more or less a list of "Interrupted Conversations" that we never find out the subject of. Coach Z's reference to Reg is more like a flashback to Strong Bad's autobiography. We already know what happened when Reg had the ball at the top o' the key...Strong Bad was like "I'm open, I'm open!" but someone must slipped Reg some drugs or something before the game because he didn't see him and he passed it to the Deke instead and the Deke SLAM DUNKED IT!!! Ohhhh

So...you see my point... ~ Shadix

== ...List? ==

I don't feel this page is a list. It's just the appearances of a running gag. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 20:37, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

==Transfer==

<blockquote>
I strongly suggest we merge this article with [[Interrupted Conversations]]. To begin with, the title "Narrated Interruption" does not actually match the appearances listed. Phones and buzzers are not narrators. A more appropriate title would be [[Interrupted Monologues]], which would fit perfectly into [[Interrupted Conversations]].{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:26, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
:Agreed. The buzzer and the answering machine is just time running out. If you using a recording device that has 10 seconds, and you try to record a 12 second message, you will be interupted. Nothing special with these. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 20:53, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
::Agree. '''Merge''' it. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 11:54, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
::Agree. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 22:04, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
::I agree. It would also unorphan this page. [[User:EdgeMaster025|EdgeMaster025]]
:::I concur. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 20:32, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
</blockquote>

== Where The Crap Are We ==

Not really a conversation, but I think that the begining of [[Where the Crap Are We?]] belongs somewhere around here. --{{User:DongleGoblin/sig}} 02:13, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
:I disagree. The viewer isn't getting dropped into the middle of a conversation, but rather it's the start of the conversation as far as the toon is concerned. And it's not happening after a scene cut in the middle of the toon as are most of these entries, so it's not obvious that any conversation is being, er, stumbled-upon. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 05:24, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

== Rename ==

To me, "Interrupted Conversations" sounds as though characters are stopping converstations we already have heard the beginning. I propose "Drop-In Converstations". Or something similar. {{User:Techgeekmbg/sig}} 01:09, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

How about calling it "Incomplete Conversations"? -Foxy
:No, no rename. The conversations are interrupted right in the middle. You don't need to hear the first part to be interrupted. It's not you the article cares about, it's the characters having the conversation. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 06:34, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
::To me, it never really sounds the conversations are being interrupted, like thi- --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 07:00, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
:::They do have a point. "Interrupted" implies that the conversation is being interfered with, rather than that we're just hearing a portion. I can't think of anything simple to call it, tho. [[User:Dagron|Dagron]] 07:09, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Why don't we rename it Conversations With Unknown Subjects? It would be an accurate name for it. [[User:Hooray4homestar|Hooray4homestar]] 02:09, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

The name should be, "Background Conversations"! You know? Because they just set up the background for something.
:How about [[Conversations that, while presumably complete, we as viewers only get to hear a portion of]] -[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 05:15, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
::I second Conversations with Unknown Subjects. It fits much better than Interrupted Conversations. Then again, I'm just an annony and if I know your HRwiki guys you won't take my opinion seriously. --[[User:97.82.22.53|97.82.22.53]] 01:35, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Just wanted to bump this back into RC to get it noticed. The rename discussion here is still in limbo. Comments welcome. -[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 22:31, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

I think that we should name it "incomplete conversations" we don't want it too big or else people won't know what to type [[User:hardcore_homestar_fan]]

What about "Conversation fragments", or another name that emphasizes the portion over the conversation?
: You mean like "Tail Ends"? - Coach Z Fangirl
::That sounds good too. a few of them seem to match the description of the title, like the bit from "love poems" where a conversation is interupted, but the majorty seem to be cases of the viewer only recives part of a discussion.
I prefer the TV Tropes name for it: [[TVTropes:Main/OrphanedPunchline|Orphaned Punchlines]]. {{User:Mee/sig}} 01:04, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
:That's not a bad suggestion, actually. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.138.189|132.183.138.189]] 01:09, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
::I like it. I was thinking something like "We're in the middle of a conversation here" (loosely adapted from [[magic trick]]) but that's way better. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 10:58, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

I'ma gonna vote for no change. The title describes the page just fine. [[User:PAK215|PAK215]] 22:01, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

I think [[Conversations Already in Progress]] would do this page justice. {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 23:55, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Personally, '''''Unfinished Conversations''''' would be a perfect name, because the conversation is started, persumably with and end, but the charector cannot finish the conversation because of someone/something.
:I'm with '''Incomplete Conversations''', because regardless of what part of the conversation we're hearing, we never hear the whole thing. That's the gag. {{User:Thy Not Dennis/sig}} 13:44, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
::I still like orphaned punchlines. -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.138.67|132.183.138.67]] 14:50, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
:::'''Rename to [[Orphaned Punchlines]]'''. The [[TVTropes:Main/OrphanedPunchline|description from tv tropes]] is great. Read it, then read some of the examples in the article. I love it. Good find, Mee! {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 15:21, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
::::I don't know, that seems more about jokes than conversations... {{User:Thy Not Dennis/sig}} 15:49, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
How about:
*Interuptions
*Discontinued Conversations
*Interupted Conversations
OR
*Cut Off lines

This should simply be renamed "Partial Coversations." The fact this hasn't been proposed astounds me. {{unsigned|86.159.61.141|04:03, 14 November 2009}}

The topic came up again today. We need this settled, as ordinary interruptions were added to the page and we nearly got into a revert war trying to deal with them. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:20, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
:If we want something completely dense and unwieldy, we can go for "Decontextualized Conversation Fragments". I agree that this needs to be renamed, but none of the proposed names strike me as being that good, except maybe "Conversations Already in Progress", and I can't think of too much. Just to throw some more out there, there's also "Context-Free Dialogue", "Stranded Punchlines", and "Nonsensical Ends of Conversation". But like I said, I don't love any of those too much. --[[User:TimMierz|TimMierz]] 21:40, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
::Yeah, this is exactly why I didn't suggest a name. It's a hard concept to get across in only a few words. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:25, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

How about [[Half-Heard Conversations]]? {{User:Religious Corn/sig}} 17:36, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

::I'd like to put something into perspective here, before the page gets renamed. I looked up "interrupted conversations" after watching [[hiding]]. I hadn't been to the page before and I was able to find the article without much effort. It's an intuitive name. While I can appreciate the comic value in names that are notably longer than necessary (and suggestions like "Conversations already in progress"), the prospective reader will have to have read the article already to know that they need to look up something like "Tail ends", or "Orphaned punchlines" (not to mention that the latter precludes the fact that alot of the "interrupted conversations" don't include a punchline). Names like "Incomplete conversations", "Interrupted conversations", and "Partial conversations" are the only ones that I think readers will naturally try to look up. [[User:Toons|Toons]] 00:26, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
:::Bumping this again. To refresh: The rationale for a rename is that, the conversations themselves aren't actually getting interrupted. It's just that we only hear part of it (usually the end). -[[Special:Contributions/174.62.238.201|174.62.238.201]] 02:02, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

== Interrupted Emails ==
I've noticed that there are MANY emails where SB is answering, and someone drops in mid sentence. It seems to be a running Gag... should we track those here too?

for example, in [[Long Pants]], Homestar drops in midway through Strong bad's sentence ''Was it not Adam West who once said, "E—'' Thoughts? [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 17:20, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
:Would [[morning routine]] count towards that? Strong Bad says ''The morning routine is the most important routine of the day. The r in routine stands for-'' And then Strong Sad brings in the egg. But I don't think interrupted emails would merit a seperate section anywheres unless there are more than two instances, which I'm sure there are but I just can't think of more offa the top of my head. {{User:Acam30/sig}} 00:56, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

== Revise, I Say! ==

Since no one else seems to have brought this up, I will. I take great issue with the opening paragraph of this article. Sure, its purpose is to illustrate the subject of the page (which, in my opinion, it doesn't really succeed in anyway), but doesn't that give the page a really informal feel? Which we in the Homestar Runner Wiki try to avoid?

I'm posting this in the talk page because I'm not sure if I could do a good revision myself, but perhaps someone else can. Thoughts/ideas, anyone? {{User:SRMX12/sig}}''' 03:42, 15 February 2016
:I like it the way it is. Nothing wrong with a little humor here and there on the wiki. It doesn't all have to be dry and informational. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 09:03, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Homestar Runner's Sleepwear

174.62.238.201 — Thu, 04 Jul 2019 01:00:01 GMT

174.62.238.201:

[[Image:UnshavenHomestar.png|thumb|right|170x|Homestar with cinnamon-stubble]]
When [[Homestar Runner]] sleeps or is just waking up, he can be seen '''wearing his pajama outfit'''. That includes a white robe with two pockets, a cloth belt, slippers, a hat, a different T-shirt every time, and "[[cinnamon|stubble]]". It is perhaps a given that his robe has no sleeves at all, referencing his [[lack of visible arms]].

The first time Homestar's pajamas were seen was when [[Strong Bad]] and [[The Cheat]] tried to pull off their Jumble [[caper]]. Homestar later walked in dressed in the described attire and drinking coffee, at which time Strong Bad questioned him about his five o'clock shadow. Homestar revealed that it is actually [[cinnamon]], not a beard.

In [[Homestar Presents: Presents]], Homestar slept in his pajamas and woke up to the noise of his [[Homestar's Clock|alarm clock]]. This scene revealed that he doesn't actually sleep with his robe, but that he does sleep with his slippers.

Homestar also slept in his pajamas in [[Bubs' Concession Stand|Bubs' Motor Lodge]], apparently inside a race car bed.

Homestar's Slippers are a pink/purple color and shaped like bunnies. They always have the eyes and ears upside down relative to one another. He wears them when sleeping or when recently waking from sleep. Homestar slept through all of June of 2006, thinking he only slept until mid-May. This time he changed his bunny slippers to [[Nebulon]] slippers. Homestar also owns a pair of hippo slippers, seen in [[impression]], though he claims that they're [[Soolnds|elephants]].

==Homestar Runner's T-shirts==

Most of the time, the T-shirts that Homestar wears to bed reference those that are worn by famous people or movie characters.
*His first T-shirt is a picture of himself running, which at one point could be found in the [[store]].
*His second T-shirt is essentially the same as that worn by [[Wikipedia:Michael Jackson|Michael Jackson]] in bed in the video for [[Wikipedia:Beat It|Beat It]]. This includes the inaccurate depiction of a keyboard, showing both single black keys and three white keys in a row.
*His third T-shirt, reading ''[http://www.founditemclothing.com/t-shirts/toxic.html I ♥ Toxic Waste]'', is the shirt Val Kilmer (as Chris Knight) wears when he first appears in the movie [[Wikipedia:Real Genius|Real Genius]] while interviewing for a job at Darlington.
*His fourth T-shirt is a reference to the movie ''[[IMDB:tt0088258|This Is Spinal Tap]]'', in which [[Wikipedia:Nigel Tufnel|Nigel Tufnel]] is seen wearing the same shirt featuring a green ribcage and later remarks "This is what I sleep in sometimes".
*His fifth T-shirt is [[Professional Wrestling|professional wrestler]] [[Wikipedia:Roddy Piper|Roddy Piper]]'s "Hot Rod" T-shirt.

==Fun Facts==

*In the [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]] [[caper#Commentary Transcript|commentary]] for the email [[caper]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] revealed that the cinnamon beard is what they used to do when they made movies that required a 5 o'clock shadow when they were younger.

Mendelev and Dongolev

[[Image:dongolev_mendelev.gif|thumb|right|Mendelev (left) and Dongolev (right) - from the Movie Trailer]]
[[Image:dongolev.png|thumb|100px|left|Retro gaming goodness]]
'''Mendelev''' and '''Dongolev''' are the archer characters from the game [[Peasant's Quest]]. Mendelev runs the archery booth. The brothers don't always get along. They can be told apart by the color of the feathers in their caps. Mendelev's feather is yellow, Dongolev's is red. They also have a secret greeting, "haldo", and when [[Rather Dashing]] tells Dongolev that Mendelev told him to tell him that, they apparently reunite and run the stall again. They may still have a little bit of a sibling rivalry, as they later tell him to go away when he talks to them because they're arguing about who's hotter.

In [[1987]], Mendelev liked [[Strong Bad]]'s wallpaper and sent an email to him saying so, as seen in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[no loafing]].

In the live-action trailer, both twin brothers are played by Matt Gribbon.

They allegedly have a sister who is a keeper of Trogdor.

Strong Bad looks for a replacement for when he retires from answering emails.

'''Running Time:''' 3:22

'''Page Title:''' Compy 386!!

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Four}}

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Our next show, is a family show. It... is... the email.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class= "compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
Have you ever thought who will take 
your place when you retire? 
 
Your friend, 
Jeffrey Desterhoft</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You've got a good point there, Jeffy. I suppose I can't keep checking these e-mails forever. I never really thought about finding an heir to my throne before. Come to think of it, what ever happened to my throne?

''{Strong Bad stops typing, picks up a phone, and talks into it, making a sound like a loudspeaker in a supermarket}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Attention The Cheat. Customer needs assistance in email. Customer needs assistance in email.

''{Strong Bad puts down the phone, which is not attached to anything. The Cheat arrives in a blue employee's vest with his name on it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, didn't I used to have a throne of some kind?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{points at the stool and makes The Cheat noises.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, no, no, this is my ''stool''. I'm talking about a ''throne''. You know, it had, like... gold nuggets on it, and... a hundred cup holders... some of them velvety cushions... you know, a ''throne''. And I think I had a motorcycle, too. See if you can find those.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I guess the best way to find a replacement is to subject a bunch of applicants to the same rigorous screening process that I subjected myself to ''{begins to sound unsure of what he is saying}'' when I started checking these emails?

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Homestar standing in the Field.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm gonna hold up a last name, and you make fun of it. ''{holds up a cue card with the word "Gargleman" written on it}'' Gargleman.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Crapface.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{holds up a cue card that reads "Dumweiner"}'' Dumweiner.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uhhhh, Crapface.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{changes cue card to "Butkus"}'' Butkus.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Crapface.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{changes cue card to "Crambert"}'' Crambert.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Crapface?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{changes cue card to "Desterhoft"}'' Desterhoft.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let me think about it; ''{without hesitation}'' Crapface.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Perfect score!

''{Cut to the computer room with Strong Bad and Coach Z in front of the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's hear your best "deleted."

''{He presses a button on the keyboard and the Compy displays DELETED on a blue background, making the standard DELETED sound.}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background:#003893; text-align:center">DELETED!</blockquote>

'''COACH Z:''' DELORTED!

''{The Compy flashes DELORTED on a dark yellow-green background and makes a distorted version of the DELETED sound. Strong Bad looks surprised.}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background:#8B8B00; text-align:center">DELORTED!</blockquote>

''{Cut to the basement with Strong Bad and Bubs and a cardboard box with Strong Sad drawn on it sitting on the couch.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Sad's on the couch, watching TV. What do you do?

'''BUBS:''' Kick him in the teeth!

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's good, that's good, even though he might not have any teeth. What else?

'''BUBS:''' Kick him in the grill! ''{pumps his elbow}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, yeah! Keep going!

'''BUBS:''' ''{turns to face Strong Bad}'' Kick ''you'' in the grill!

''{Bubs starts to approach Strong Bad, waving his arms and yelling menacingly}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{nervously}'' No, no, Bubs, calm down, this is only a drill!

''{Cut to Marzipan's house with Strong Bad and Marzipan holding [[Carol]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's hear your best "scroll buttons" song.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing and playing the guitar}'' And that's why I like to scroll, with scroll buttons!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastically}'' Oh, right, right, the worst song I ever heard. Play another one!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing and playing the guitar}'' Scroll buttons are good, they move you up and down, they take you to...

''{Strong Bad groans. Cut to the basement, with Strong Bad, Strong Sad, and the same cardboard box with Strong Sad on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, Strong Sad, Strong Sad's on the couch, watching TV. What do you do?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Go make him some hummus!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hummus?! No, try something else.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh... Give him a foot massage!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks at Strong Sad's [[soolnds]], mouth agape}'' Those are not feet!

''{Cut to the field with Homestar, Strong Bad and The Cheat. The Cheat is wearing a cardboard box that has a drawing of himself on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now I want you to pretend this is The Cheat, and give him a good, swift, kick in The Cheat!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{bends one of his legs back, then pauses}'' Umm... ''{puts his leg back down}'' Crapface.

''{Cut to Strong Bad in front of his computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh. ''{typing}'' This screening process is neither processing nor screening very well. I suppose I should cut to the chase and haul out the big guns...DANCE CONTEST!

''{Cut to a stage. Music is playing. We see the top part of Strong Bad's head watching each contestant.}''

''{The first contestant is Marzipan, who spins her ponytail around while moving her head left and right.}''

''{Cut to Coach Z, who taps his right foot while waving his arms behind his head one after the other.}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad, who is simply pointing his fingers.}''

''{Cut to Bubs shaking his arms while leaning forward and then jumping up and down.}''

''{Cut to Strong Mad, who simply stands in place and yells:}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I'M STRONG MAD! I'M STRONG MAD!

''{Cut to Homsar, who shuffles his feet all along the stage.}''

''{The camera then cuts to and zooms in on Homestar, who is lit by a spotlight. The music changes to the ending of a slow, dramatic song.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' And then I put it on my faaaaace...

''{Cut to Strong Bad at his computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Uh, this dance contest is neither contesting ''{pronounces "contesting" as "CON-test-ing"}'' nor dancing very well. Looks like I'm gonna be checking e-mails and kicking Cheats 'til the day I die. ''{stops typing}'' Whoa, that'd make an awesome tattoo! Or an even better epitaph!

''{Cut to the field at night. A blank tombstone is on the foreground, and as we hear Strong Bad's voice, his words are carved on the slab.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Here lies Strong Bad

''{underneath, in slightly smaller letters}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' "Checking e-mails and kicking Cheats in the hereafter"

''{underneath}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Buried with his hundred girlfriends

''{underneath}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And like, a jillion dollars

''{underneath, in even smaller letters}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Please don't dig up the grave.

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end, click on the word "Cheats" to see another exchange between Strong Bad and The Cheat.
*:''{Cut to The Cheat near his light switch, still wearing his uniform.}''
*:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen, into speakerphone}'' A-ttention The Cheat!
*:'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}''
*:'''STRONG BAD:''' Have you found that motorcycle yet? ''{slight pause}'' Maybe check in our... stock room.

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Hummus|Hummus]] is a paste of pureed chickpeas usually mixed with sesame oil or sesame paste and eaten as a dip or sandwich spread.

=== Trivia ===
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#alone in the dark|alone in the dark]]".
*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Who will check his emails when Strong Bad retires? Aforementioned Strong Bad tries to find out."
*Since the [[font]] called Engravers MT is used, the first quotation mark on Strong Bad's gravestone is backwards.

===Remarks===
[[Image:delorted.png|thumb|DELORTED!]]
*Strong Bad uses a [[disconnected telephone]].


*Strong Bad doesn't interview Strong Mad or Homsar, yet they still take part in the dance contest; he also doesn't interview The Cheat.
*The visible "DELET" part of the [[DELETED]] text is the same size as the "DELOR" part of Coach Z's "DELORTED". At that size, part of the final D and the exclamation point (which are included in the Flash file) wouldn't fit on the screen.
*When Strong Bad types "DANCE CONTEST!" the initial D appears unusually close to the final period in the preceding ellipsis, probably as a result of trying to avoid splitting the phrase at a line break.
*Homsar's walking sound is not heard as he walks back and forth.

===Goofs===
*When The Cheat turns to exit, his nametag switches sides and is reversed.
*The sign above Marzipan normally reads "Thank You". In this email, it appears to be blank due to a positioning error in the Flash file.
*At the end of the email the moon is facing the back of the gravestone, but the shadow is in front of the moon and the other side is bright.
*Marzipan's hair spins in front of her dress, as if it were going through her neck.
*When Strong Bad asks Coach Z for his best "DELETED!", the computer screen displays the text he typed before asking The Cheat about his throne.

===Inside References===
*Homestar's repeated use of "crap[[Names Ending in -face|face]]" is related to the way he answered his first email in [[50 emails]].
*Bubs's moves in the dance contest come from the game [[Dancin' Bubs]].
*Strong Bad first [[Kicking The Cheat|kicked The Cheat]] in [[little animal]].
*Strong Bad previously mentioned gold nuggets in his [[Strong Bad's Character Video|character video]].

===Real-World References===
*The Cheat is wearing a blue uniform, typical of [[Wikipedia:Wal-Mart|Wal-Mart]] employees, but Strong Bad uses a red phone, typical of [[Wikipedia:Target Corporation|Target]] stores.
*The name "Butkus" refers to [[Wikipedia:Chicago Bears|Chicago Bears]] Hall-Of-Fame linebacker [[Wikipedia:Dick Butkus|Dick Butkus]].
*A [[wikipedia:Grill (jewelry)|grill]] often refers to the dental object people (most prominently rappers) wear on their teeth, but can also mean the mouth/teeth themselves.
*Coach Z's dance is similar to a popular [[Wikipedia:Hardcore punk|hardcore]] dance referred to as "Shootin' the arrow".

===Fast Forward===
*Marzipan's first scroll button song was later used on the [[Scroll Button Songs|Strong Bad Email Menu]], despite him saying that it was the worst song he ever heard.
*Strong Bad would later decide to not die at all in [[your funeral]].
*Marzipan's dance moves would be seen again in [[nightlife]].
*The graves for the eleven former [[King of Town (title)|Kings of Town]] would be shown, in similar style to Strong Bad's grave, in [[original]].
*Strong Sad was shown to have teeth after all in [[narrator]], where he can be seen brushing them. He does this again in [[concert]].

==DVD Version==
*The DVD version features hidden creator's commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MATT:''' What's he's saying right now is from an old audio recording that I made.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, Matt, before we had a video camera, he and his friend, you know, would just make movies and...

'''MATT:''' Radio plays!

'''MIKE:''' On, aha, on audio cassette! He had a bad tape recorder.

'''MATT:''' And our friend TJ said that, and he could, he was like four or something and couldn't talk very well, or at least couldn't re-memorize lines at the time 'cuz he was so young, and it was called "The Hostess Cake": "Our next show is a family show. It is... The Hostess Cake"... Mike, how did he do that with his voice?! That phone's clearly not plugged in!

'''MIKE:''' It's like Coach Z's phone from another cartoon. I dunno. I dunno, Matt. I just make the cartoons.

'''MATT:''' That's clearly a Wal-Mart vest that The Cheat is wearing there, I think, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Also, there's "Alone in the Dark" back there. Is that... this is, okay, this is before that horrible "Alone in the Dark" movie that just came out.

'''MATT:''' Oh, yeah, did that already come out?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah! It was just in the theater for, like, two days.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Bad idea.

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' So, what are we— Which one is this? Replacements?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, he's trying to find an heir to the throne!

'''MATT:''' Oooooh.

''{pause until Strong Bad holds up the "Desterhoft" card}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{sarcastic "surprised" voice}'' Hey, that's the name of the guy that sent the email!

'''MATT:''' ''{similar voice}'' That's a funny name.

'''MIKE:''' ''{imitates the "Deleted" buzzer, then again as Strong Bad deletes the email}''

'''MATT:''' ''{of "DELORTED"}'' Oof. That brown screen is gross. I like it. Now this is our friend [[Craig Zobel]], who... you all know. His favorite thing ever on our website is right here where Bubs attacks Strong Bad.

'''MIKE:''' That's just me being ba—being a lazy animator. It wasn't supposed to be funny.

'''MATT:''' ''{partially over the last line}'' No, that was you being a genius.

'''MIKE:''' It wasn't supposed to be funny.

'''MATT:''' It's hilarious.

'''MIKE:''' Didn't you record Strong Bad singing one of these scroll buttons songs for the scroll button menu?

'''MATT:''' Mm-hmm. I did.

'''MIKE:''' We oughta use that.

'''MATT:''' Never have. Maybe we should. It's been the same one for a while now.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{of the box with Strong Sad's image}'' That Strong Sad drawing is pretty great. The Cheat clearly drew that for him. ''{after Strong Bad's "Those are not feet."}'' What are they called, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Soolnds?

'''MATT:''' Soolnd.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Um...

'''MIKE:''' So we got a dance party coming up where Coach Z is doing our friend Claire's dance.

'''MATT:''' Mm-hmm. I remember... that's a good dance.

'''MIKE:''' There it is.

'''MATT:''' The Claire dance. I don't know if Claire knows that we have Coach Z doing her dance.

'''MIKE:''' Does she know we have a name for her dance?

'''MATT:''' I don't know if she knows that either. I hope she doesn't get mad.

'''MIKE:''' I did all this. That's why the dances are pretty lame.

'''MATT:''' Homestar is singing in a dance contest, Mike. He doesn't, he obviously doesn't know what's going on.

'''MIKE:''' Even if it was a ''singing'' contest, it was a pretty bad song.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I dunno what he's talking about, but I dunno what he just put on his face.

''{they laugh}''

'''MATT:''' It's a great song, I think. It's very interesting. It makes you wonder. What did— and what happened that spawned that?

'''MIKE:''' I don't wanna know.

''{pause until The Paper}''

==Transcript==
''{Stinkoman is working on something off the screen, making vocal noises as he does so. His green tongue protrudes from his mouth. The Stinkoman 20X6 level 2 cutscene music plays dimly in the background.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Heer. Ah! Heejee. Goo? Ah!

''{1-Up arrives from the left.}''

'''1-UP:''' Hey, Stinkoman, what are you think you're doing?

'''STINKOMAN:''' Go away. I'm doing something!

'''1-UP:''' ''{Makes flatulent sound, blushes}'' Uh, yeah. But what is it you're doing?

'''STINKOMAN:''' Can't you see, my good man? I'm giving thanks! ''{Smiles broadly, then puts his hands on his hips with a ''Shing!'' sound.}''

'''1-UP:''' Oh... ''{Makes flatulent sound, blushes}'' ...because it looks like you're building a tractor!

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{Long shot showing the tractor}'' Shows how much you know! ''{Makes his laughing action}'' Now watch me give thanks to these crops! ''{Roots around in the tractor, and pulls out what appears to be a [[Wikipedia:Deere & Company|John Deere]] hat, putting it on with a ''ding!''}'' Ha! ''{Jumps into the air, spinning. He briefly comes to rest in mid-air in a reclining posture, then drops to the seat of the tractor and starts it up.}''

'''1-UP:''' That's not how you give thanks! ''{Laughs on "thanks", then makes flatulent sound and blushes.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Oh yeah, talking-to-me-extraordinaire? If you're so smart, why don't YOU show me how to give thanks without the use of farm equipment?

'''1-UP:''' Okay. Pan Pan?

''{Pan Pan drops from above and lands with a gong sound, then opens his mouth wide and inhales 1-Up and Stinkoman. After a second, he spits out Stinkoman's hat. Cut to the interior of Pan Pan's stomach.}''

'''1-UP:''' Watch me while I do work! Why, just today, I'm thankful for Pan Pan's epiglottis! ''{Smiles broadly, while four hearts float out of his head and pop.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Oh, NOW I get it! Like this! ''{Dashes off-screen. Cut to him sitting behind a desk in a suit, his hair neatly combed.}'' Buy! Sell! Buy! Sell! Buy! Sell! ''{Holds a disconnected phone handset to his ear whenever he says "buy" and a mug of coffee to his mouth whenever he says "sell". Then he collapses to the desk, exhausted, and his hair changes back to its normal, unkempt state}'' Uhhh...

'''1-UP:''' No, no, no. THAT'S not it! ''{Laughs on "it".}''

''{Wipe to back outside. Close-up of 1-Up; the Cheatball can be seen spinning on his head.}''

'''1-UP:''' I'm thankful for the Cheatball spinning profusely on my head!

'''STINKOMAN:''' Oh yeah! Now I REALLY got it! Like this! ''{Backflips off-screen. Rapid pan to show Stinkoman's foot sticking out of the ground. The foot wiggles as muffled speaking noises can be heard.}''

'''1-UP:''' ''{Walks up, Cheatball still spinning on his head.}'' That's not it, either!

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{Appearing on the other side of the screen}'' Say WHAT?

''{Diamond wipe to a shot of Stinkoman and 1-Up, sans Cheatball, in front of a mountain range.}''

'''1-UP:''' People give thanks for things like ''{Close-up as 1-Up holds up one item of each of the following as he says it.}'' favorite food, spiced bun, frozen bake, and all that, and all that.

''{Back to the long shot. The aforementioned items are sitting on the ground next to 1-Up.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{Wiping his brow}'' Man, oh, man-o! Who would've thought that giving thanks was such a formidable challenge? ''{Triumphant pose}'' Hey wait, that's it! ''{Charges up, and suddenly gets incredibly muscular. Small rocks float up off the ground, and the level 1 music plays dimly in the background.}'' Whoooaaa, making small rocks float up off the GRRROOOOOUUUUUUUUND! ''{As Stinkoman returns to normal, the level 2 cutscene music plays, again dimly in the background, and a pilgrim's hat appears on his head with a ''ding!''}'' I'm thankful that my hat is wearing a belt!

'''1-UP:''' Great job, Stinkoman! You got the Green Crystal Shard! ''{Shard appears with a green flash.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Will we ever find all the colors before the bad guy?

''{Rapid pan to the top of a mountain showing a shadowy figure with the red, blue and yellow shards. The shadowy figure laughs evilly. Scene freezes, and changes to an ink-drawing style. The credits appear on the screen.}''

'''VOICE-OVER:''' Be sure and tune in for tomorrow's exciting episode of... ''{Stinkoman appears, holding all four shards, and the title appears over the top.}'' ''Stinkoman and the Challenge of the Crystal Shards''!

''{Shot of Stinkoman at the desk in Pan Pan's stomach as before.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Buy! Sell! Buy! Sell! Buy!

''{Back to title screen.}''

'''VOICE-OVER:''' Or... maybe don't. ''{Gong sounds. Back button appears.}''

''{The credits read:''}

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The [[wikipedia:Epiglottis|epiglottis]] is a flap of cartilage at the back of the mouth. When swallowing, it folds down, preventing food from entering the windpipe, and sending it down the esophagus instead.

===Trivia===
*This is the first time the Shadowy Figure has appeared in a toon.
*The [[YouTube]] description for this toon is "Stinkoman learns about being thankful."
*This is 1-Up's largest speaking role to date outside of [[Stinkoman 20X6]].

===Remarks===
*The "back" button can only be activated by clicking directly on the letters. Most text links on the site have the entire rectangular area defined as clickable to make them easier to click.
*Contrary to popular belief, the Capotain (or Pilgrim) hat never featured a buckle (called a "belt" in this toon). The traditional depiction was created in the nineteenth century.

===Goofs===
*The logo on Stinkoman's hat flips horizontally each time his head changes directions.
*In the frame right before Stinkoman gets on the desk, he is shown without legs.
*When Stinkoman gets his pilgrim's hat for the first time, it covers his usual, spiked hairstyle. However, in the scene that follows his receiving the crystal shard, it turns to his Business executive hairstyle, and remains that way for the rest of the cartoon.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Originally, the name plate on the desk was supposed to read "Top Exec" using Arial [[font]], but the text did not display. This was fixed shortly after release, now using Algerian font.
*Originally, the crops weren't shown in the cartoon; the background was all green grass.

===Inside References===
[[Image:StinkoTwins.png|200px|thumb|"That's not it either!"]]
*Stinkoman's [[green tongue]] is seen whenever he is not talking during the toon's beginning.
*[[Lem Sportsinterviews#Beverly Sportsinterviews|Beverly Sportsinterviews]]-[[A. Chimendez|Chimendez]] is credited as the writer of ''Stinkoman and the Challenge of the Crystal Shards''.
*[[Duplicate Characters|Two Stinkomans]] appear when all but his leg is [[Buried Alive|buried]].
*The crystal shards look similar to those found on the [[Homsar Reservation]] in [[Strong Badia the Free]].
*Top Exec Stinkoman uses a [[disconnected telephone]].
*The inner lining of Pan-Pan's stomach resembles a [[brain]].
*1-Up saying "And all that" twice is similar to [[Homestar Runner]]'s tendency to repeat sentence fragments on occasion.
*Stinkoman and 1-Up [[Characters Being Eaten|go inside]] Pan Pan.

===Real-World References===
*Pan-Pan sucking up the characters is similar to the video game character [[Kirby]].
*The "Making small rocks float up off the GRRROOOOOUUUUUUUUND!" sequence is a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball Z|Dragon Ball Z]]''. When characters "power up", rocks around them begin to float in a similar fashion, usually accompanied by their muscles bulging and an electric aura appearing around them.
*Stinkoman is wearing a hat from the [[Wikipedia:Deere & Company|John Deere]] tractor company.
*The color scheme and decals (the [[Wikipedia:Citizen Watch Co.|Citizen]] logo and U.S. Air Force [[Wikipedia:Roundel#Use on military aircraft|roundel]]) on Stinkoman's tractor resemble those on [[Wikipedia:Akira (manga)#Characters|Kaneda]]'s motorcycle in ''[[Akira]]''.
*The cartoon in general appears to parody Japanese stereotypes of America, with generally "naïve"-seeming interpretations of an American holiday in the cartoon.
*Top Exec Stinkoman has a stereotypical [[wikipedia:Ziggy (comic strip)|Ziggy]] mug.


===Fast Forward===
*The [[Frozen Bake]] would later be seen in [[Where My Hat Is At? (toon)|the toon remake of Where My Hat Is At?]].

Hiatuses

174.62.238.201 — Tue, 25 Jun 2019 01:10:45 GMT

174.62.238.201: /* Strong Bad Emails */ I dunno if “officially ended” is the right word. Seems more like, temporarily suspended?

:''This is not intended to be an official wiki article, simply a service to our users who wish to know more about hiatuses within the body of work.''
[[The Brothers Chaps]] have sometimes put the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work on '''hiatus''', especially in recent years.

Minor hiatuses occured occasionally between 2005 and 2009, with the first major hiatus starting in 2010 and continuing until 2014. Since then, [[homestarrunner.com]] has still been on hiatus, but now with several toons released a year.

==Minor Hiatuses==
===Toons===
[[Image:Weclome Back.PNG|thumb|"What is it, like, mid-May or something?"]]
With the exception of Homestar Runner's early years, the first hiatus to last over a month was from December 5, 2005 to January 8, 2006, between the releases of the [[Strong Bad Email]]s [[portrait]] and [[highschool]], 34 days in total— the longest hiatus at the time. That record was broken by the 48-day hiatus from May 16 to July 3, 2006, between the releases of the email [[isp]] and [[Weclome Back]], the latter of which explained what the [[characters]] were up to during that time. This was due to the birth of a [[Very, Very Little Girl|baby]] to [[Mike Chapman]] and [[Missy Palmer]].

The next hiatus was from December 18, 2006 to January 22, 2007, between the releases of [[Decemberween Short Shorts]] and [[looking old]], a total of 35 days. There was later a 45-day hiatus from June 26 to August 7, 2007, between [[Ever and More!]] and [[Quality Time]] (during which [[Where's an Egg?]] and [[Main Page 24]] were released), which was announced in a [[Main Page Pop-Ups#takin' a baby break|main page pop-up]] as a result of [[Matt Chapman|Matt]] and [[Jackie Chapman]] having also given birth to a baby. The next hiatus, as well as the first without minor updates, was from December 23, 2008 to January 26, 2009, with 34 days between the releases of [[A Death-Defying Decemberween]] and [[Hremail 62]].

===Strong Bad Emails===
[[Image:lappysplosion.PNG|thumb|A comeback... or was it?]]
The first major Strong Bad Email hiatus was in between [[email thunder]] and [[hremail3184]], lasting 280 days (nine months and one week). It was the longest Strong Bad Email gap at the time, and for a while afterwards, one Strong Bad Email came out each month. The release of [[videography]] on October 5, 2009 was the beginning of the longest Strong Bad Email gap in the history of the site (over five years).

During the hiatus, The Brothers Chaps released [[Sbemail 136 Alternate Versions|drafts]] for the email that eventually became [[geddup noise]], as well as a [[2011 Calendar|calendar]] that documents the release dates of all Strong Bad Emails, along with an image and a quote from twelve selected emails. In addition, Matt Chapman revealed on his [[@ronginald|former Twitter page]] a partial image of scripting for the 206th Strong Bad Email, which he claimed would be released "someday, when you least expect it".

On April 1, 2015, [[sbemail206]] was released, but there were no further emails until [[too cool]]’s release in August 2017. On April 1, 2018, the 208th Strong Bad Email was hidden inside the holiday toon [[The Next April Fools Thing]]. The [[@StrongBadActual]] Twitter account and [[Trogdor!! The Board Game]] Kickstarter have since hinted at a 209th Strong Bad Email from one of the board game's backers.

==Major Hiatuses==
===2010 - 2014===
[[Image:babylady.jpg|thumb|The original reason for the hiatus]]
After the release of [[Punkin Show]] in November 2009, the first major hiatus in the site's history began, with barely any material produced for nearly five months. In the [[Vox Interview - 6 Oct 2015|October 6, 2015 Vox interview]], The Brothers Chaps attributed this to the birth of Matt and Jackie's second baby, [[The Brothers Chaps' Side Projects|side projects]], and creative burnout. In that interview, they stated that they only expected the hiatus to last one to six months, and still wanted to make new content during that time. Matt eventually moved to Los Angeles to work on TV shows, making it difficult to make toons with Mike in [[Georgia]].

<blockquote>'''MATT:''' It was mainly just, I was— I just had my second daughter, and then we had started, it was right at the ten year mark which felt like a nice, big, you know, if you're gonna take a break like ten years felt like a nice time... to take a breather. ''{laughs}'' And then during that time we decided, "Hey, let's start talking to some of the people who we've heard from over the years in the industry, and see if there's something there that, you know, to work on or try to grow." And so we started talking to people out in Los Angeles, and then some of that stuff started to actually move forward, so we were like okay, if we want to keep pursuing this we kind of need to put Homestar on hold to try to put all our weight behind that stuff. And so that's what we started doing, and I ended up actually moving out to Los Angeles for a few years and we got to do a bunch of cool stuff and work with a bunch of cool people and work on a bunch of cool shows.</blockquote>

This hiatus ended for a short time with the release of the [[April Fools' Day]] toon [[Xeriouxly Forxe]] in 2010, with [[Main Page 26|a Xeriouxly Forxe-themed main page]] shortly thereafter. The hiatus continued again after that, and most of the main page messages that year were [[Yahoo Store|Store]] offers. For the first time in the site's history, no major [[Halloween]] cartoon was produced in 2010. Strong Bad was later featured as one of the characters in the [[Telltale Games|Telltale]] game [[Poker Night at the Inventory]], released November 22. The first major update in over eight months, [[A Decemberween Mackerel]], was released on December 14, shortly followed by [[Which Ween Costumes?]] on December 22 — a [[Decemberween]]-themed Halloween toon.

Following the holiday break into the new year, the site was back on hiatus. The only character appearance during 2011 was [[Puppet Character Variations|Puppet Strong Bad]] appearing at [[Aquabats Concert - 18 Jan 2011|an Aquabats concert in January]]. Since then, the last site update was a Store offer.

In September, Matt created a Twitter account called [[@ronginald]] in which he stated that Homestar Runner would be updated "sporadically and without warning". During this time, he also stated that he was working for the [[Nickelodeon]] program [[Wikipedia:Yo Gabba Gabba|Yo Gabba Gabba]], for which he had previously created an animated segment, as well as [[The Aquabats|The Aquabats! Super Show!]] and the [[Disney]] cartoon [[Wikipedia:Gravity Falls|Gravity Falls]]. December 22, 2011 marked the first time in the site's history that an entire year passed without any content. On February 27, 2012, Matt posted an out-of-focus image of the apparent script for Strong Bad Email 206 on his Twitter account, with the message [[:File:sbemail206_teaser.jpg|"Someday, when you least expect it..."]]. He deleted his Twitter account in January 2013.

Strong Bad and Homestar Runner made a surprise appearance at [[W00tstock - 18 Jul 2013|W00tstock 5.0]] in July 2013, marking the first on-screen appearance of the characters in two-and-a-half years. The store was updated with the re-release of [[Decemberween]] cards around November 23, 2013.

===2014 - present===

[[Image:AprilFools2014.png|thumb|"You got this, Homestar. This is nothin'."]]
Matt decided to move back to the Atlanta region, and The Brothers Chaps finally had the chance to make new content. For the first time in over three years, the hiatus was briefly interrupted on April 1, 2014 with [[April Fool 2014]], the first toon since 2010, when the site stopped updating. The toon acknowledges the length between updates by making the [[index page]] look dilapidated, and centers around Homestar and Strong Bad attempting to update "the website's best feature". At the end of that toon, Strong Bad and Homestar Runner discuss the possibility of there being a substantial amount of time before the next update. This toon replaced the normal index page until July.

<blockquote>
'''JEFF RUBIN:''' This year, April, first cartoon in a while, which you already managed— it sounded like you were testing the waters a bit to find out if there was still interest? 
'''MATT:''' Sort of. It was something, we had heard from people that were like, "Hey, where did it go? We wanted more," which is always super cool to hear. 
'''JEFF RUBIN:''' I bet you get that on a daily basis, whether you know it or not, like in your email or somewhere. That must happen all the time, right? 
'''MATT:''' Well, I hope it does, 'cause that would be very encouraging. I feel like the consensus is that we stopped because we didn't want to do it, and I hate for people to think that we've been sitting in a pool with a martini sort of laughing at the Internet, like, "What fools! We'll never make you a Strong Bad Email again!" It's very much the opposite. My brother and I have lived the last three or four years still thinking in our brains that we're gonna be making a new cartoon next week, and we would routinely text each other dumb jokes from a Homestar line or a Strong Bad line that will probably never happen. So, we've been jonesing— we've been wanting to do this stuff. [...] It's not that we were like, "We hated it, we wanted to take a break." No, the rest of the world has influenced us in a way where we have to take a little time off, and there literally hasn't been time to do them. So that's why the April Fools' thing was definitely like, "All right, we've got the time. We're gonna do it. We're gonna see if anybody gives a crap anymore. And if they do then the goal will be to start making more stuff, hopefully on a more frequent basis." 
'''JEFF RUBIN:''' And I think we can conclude people still gave a crap, right? 
'''MATT:''' It seemed like it. Maybe it was a fluke just because it was the first one we've done. I don't know if there'll be diminishing returns or not, but just based on that alone it's enough to make us want to give it a try again.
</blockquote>

In the [[The Jeff Rubin Jeff Rubin Show Interview - 7 July 2014‎|July 7, 2014 Jeff Rubin Jeff Rubin Show interview]], Matt stated he planned to update the website again in summer or fall. He said to have plans for a new Strong Bad Email, a more accessible website redesign, and possibly a Homestar Runner-related social media account. This proved to be true with the release of [[Fish Eye Lens]] in October and the first posts from the [[@StrongBadActual]] Twitter account. In the [[Rolling Stone Interview - 3 Oct 2014|October 3, 2014 Rolling Stone interview]], Matt stated that they were doing it for fun, and not full-time, due to the stress and deadlines of the website's former weekly schedule, and that they would only release a toon every couple of months. [[I Killed Pom Pom]], the first full-length [[Halloween]] toon since 2009, was also released at the end of the month.

In 2015, the [[Store]] was redesigned and switched to a different website, and the [[NavBar]] was updated with "[[youtube]]" replacing "[[FeedBurner Page|subscribe]]". The first major update was in April 2015, when [[sbemail206]] was released after a five-year wait. It was around this time that the Chaps started working on their Disney web series [[Two More Eggs]], which was originally updated with a frequency equivalent to Homestar Runner in its heyday. After that, toons started to come out semi-regularly, with new content every second month. [[Record Store Day]], [[Flash is Dead!]], [[Strong Bad Classics!]], and [[The House That Gave Sucky Tricks]] were released during this time, followed by [[Fan Costumes 2015]], the first [[Fan Costumes]] toon since 2009.

In 2016, the first major update was [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2]] on April Fools' Day, the first [[Halloween Safety|true]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]] since 2009. On September 2nd, 2016, the [[Homestar Runner 20th Anniversary Show - 2 Sep 2016|Homestar Runner 20th Anniversary Show]] was performed, with a [[Homestar Runner 20th Anniversary Show - 7 Oct 2016|second show on October 7th]]. A new toon, [[Homestar Runner Goes for the Gold]], was shown at both shows, and would be released on the website later in the year, as well as [[Later That Night...]] and [[Fan Costumes 2016]].

In 2017, the site was first [[Screenland - 24 Apr 2017#Easter Eggs|visibly]] updated in August with the release of [[too cool]], the 207th Strong Bad Email; combined with the subsequent release of [[Skills of an Artist]], along with monthly [[Toons|toons]], it has been updated weekly for the first time since 2009. @StrongBadActual (and to a lesser extent, his [[@strongbadactual (Instagram)|Instagram]] account) has been highly active during this time, with new posts nearly every day; arguably even more so than the website in its heyday.

2018 saw the introduction of [[The Deleteheads Download]], an updates newsletter not unlike the [[Secret Pages#emailupdates|one]] used in 2001-2003. It has showcased a preview of the long-awaited [[Stinkoman 20X6 Level 10|tenth level]] of [[Stinkoman 20X6]], as well as a [[Trogdor]]-themed [[board game]], [[Trogdor!! The Board Game]]. A new version of the website that doesn't use [[Flash]] was launched on July 17, 2018. However, the only major toon releases in 2018 were [[The Next April Fools' Thing]], [[Trogdor Was Dragon Man]], the Halloween toon [[Mr. Poofers Must Die]], and [[Fan Costumes 2018]], with additional [[:Category:Kickstarter Videos|promotional material]] being made for Trogdor!! The Board Game.

In 2019, more Trogdor!! promotional material was released, including a [[Trogdor!! The Board Game Rulebook EP|rulebook EP]], with music videos being made for some of the songs. Additionally, the tenth level of Stinkoman 20X6 is planned to come out later in the year.

''{The scene opens in the Field. Folly enters and looks toward the camera.}''

'''FOLLY:''' For the next April Fools' thing, why doesn't it do, like, there's a picnic...

''{A rolled-up picnic blanket appears and unrolls itself.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ...and there's like... and there's a bunch of food in it...

''{An apple, a sandwich, a bag of "CH'P", a second sandwich, and a pie appear on the blanket.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ...and a picnic basket...

''{All the food moves together and a basket appears around it.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ...and... ''{considers}'' then Bubs is like...

''{Bubs appears next to the basket.}''

'''FOLLY and BUBS:''' ''{both waving their arms}'' Picnic! Picnic! Picnic!

'''FOLLY:''' And then Homestar shows up and says "blah"!

''{Homestar walks up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Blah.

'''FOLLY:''' And then Strong Bad shows up and says "blah"!

''{Strong Bad flies in from over the bushes in the background and lands on the blanket.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Blah.

'''FOLLY:''' And then everybody shows up and says "blah"!

''{The camera cuts back a little to show all the other main characters standing nearby.}''

'''ALL BUT FOLLY, BUBS, HOMESTAR, STRONG BAD, and THE POOPSMITH:''' Blah!

''{Cut back in so those characters are offscreen. Homestar and Strong Bad are no longer present.}''

'''FOLLY:''' And then Bubs is like "I'm closing the shop! Nobody's buying this picnic!"

''{Bubs disappears into the basket, and the blanket rolls up around the basket and disappears.}''

'''FOLLY:''' And then, and then, and then there's a loading sign...

''{Scene cuts to a loading screen, using the same drawing style and colors as Folly. The letters of "loading" grow and shrink in sequence.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...and it loads for, like, one hundred seconds, and then, and then... and...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Chowderworth Gruelmanger?! You call that an overly-complicated old-timey last name?! That is bush-league, son! I am sick and tired of this crap! And I'm sick of losing to Purdue!

''{Cut back to show Coach Z standing nearby, twirling a jock strap.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Now that fella really knows how to mortavort a porson.

''{Cut back to the Lappier}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' There's also that weird jocked-up thing of punching yourself in the face to get motivated. But unless you happen to have boxing gloves for hands, I wouldn't recommend it.

''{Cut to Strong Mad sitting at a table next to a glass of orange juice.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' YOU CAN DO IT, STRONG MAD. ''{pounds the table}'' YOU CAN TALK TO ORANGE JUICE!

''{He winds up his right fist, aimed at himself. Strong Bad leans in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, Strong Mad, wait—

''{Strong Mad punches himself in the face and falls offscreen. Strong Bad winces as he lands. Cut back to the Lappier.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But if you can afford it, no force is more motivational than...spiky ceiling that closes in on you!

''{Cut to the basement of the Brothers Strong. Strong Sad is holding a video game controller and looking panicked, as Strong Bad coaches him and a spiky ceiling slowly descends over them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You better beat this end boss or we're all gonna die! We're all gonna die!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{frantically hitting buttons}'' Aah! It keeps making me jump when I'm not pressing juuuuuuump!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or we're all gonna diiiii—

''{One of the spikes pokes into Strong Bad's head. Cut back to the Lappier.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' As for the inspirasche, you know how people always say, ''{mockingly}'' "inspiration sneaks up on you." Well, I like-a to turn the tables!

''{Cut to Bubs in his Concession Stand, waving his arms back and forth. Strong Bad tiptoes behind it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I sneak up on people and force ''them'' to inspire ''me!''

''{Strong Bad peeks around the side of the Stand.}''

'''BUBS:''' Well, I'll just continue doing what I was just doing, and...

''{Strong Bad jumps out in front of Bubs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' INSPIRE ME!

'''BUBS:''' Aaah! Mlg— leg boats!

''{Strong Bad lowers his eyelids, unimpressed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Leg boats? That all ya got?

'''BUBS:''' Er, yeah! It's like a little boat that your legs go inside of!

'''STRONG BAD:''' So it's a kayak.

'''BUBS:''' No, no. For while you're standing up.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So it's water skis.

'''BUBS:''' Yeah, yeah. 'Cept it's called "leg boats".

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's not inspiring! ''{starts to walk off}'' Guess I'll just walk away and ''{quickly jumps back} {rapidly}'' no I'm not just kidding INSPIRE ME!

'''BUBS:''' Aaah! File!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah?

'''BUBS:''' Um... folder...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeeeeah?

'''BUBS:''' ...shaped vitamins?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now that's inspiring!

''{Cut to a bottle of "Smarty Juice File Folder Shaped Vitamins".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Yes, File Folder Shaped Vitamins: because office workers lead hollow lives, and this is the kind of thing they'd be into.

''{A few "vitamins" appear. A different tagline appears under the bottle: "Great for the break room or maybe a desk drawer!". Cut back to the Lappier.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You see Madam Chowdygruel, if you know the right techniques, you too can motivate and inspire gimmicky white-collar products that they sell in the checkout line at the office supply store. Oooh! Which just inspired me to think of—

''{A page slides in from the left, covering the screen. Several advertisements are visible, including an ad for the vitamins and, next to it, an ad for "File Folder Shaped Vitamin Shaped Thumbdrive!!", with a picture of a USB thumb drive that looks like a red vitamin.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —File Folder Shaped Vitamin Shaped Thumbdrives! Available in never show up on your desktop ''{text is added underneath the drive reading "*Never show up on your desktop"}'' and some-the-times show up on your desktop ''{another purple thumb drive appears with text reading "*Some-the-times show up on your desktop"}'' varieties!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Always be'sing and do'sing!

''{Cut to the computer room, showing Homestar sitting on a boulder next to Strong Bad's desk, turned away from Strong Bad with a concentrated face.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And never cheesing or choosing! Always be'sing and do'sing!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Er... Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And never cheesing or choosing!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looking back at Strong Bad; normally}'' Yeah, what?

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're in my house.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yup. ''{closes his eyes and nods}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Again.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeppers.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aaand you brought a boulder.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Not me. Plate tectonics.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{jumping up}'' What are you doin' in here, man?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. ''{swings his legs around to face Strong Bad}'' Well, I heard you talking about motivation and inspiration, and I decided to brush off my old ''{stands up}'' ABD's!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Umm, Aloud But Deadly?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You don't know about the ABD's, Strong Bad?

''{Several seconds pass as some white noise plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whispering, aside}'' I'm just gonna stay silent in the hope that you won't tell me what it means.

''{The noise stops and instructional music starts as Homestar brings down a screen labelled "smawtboud", reading "The ABC's of the ABD's: '''A'''lways '''B'''e'sing & '''D'''o'sing".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Always be'sing and do'sing!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{eyelids lowered}'' You say that like it clarified anything.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sits down, resting one leg on the other}'' Rules for an inspired life, Strong Bad. No matter what you do, or where you are, ''{stomps with each word except "and"}'' always be's be'sing and do'sing.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So you started a cult.

''{music stops}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{shrugs}'' Yeah, kinda. For instance, I am currently be'sing on this boulder ''{lifts his legs and swivels them back and forth}'' and I am do'sing an ABD workshop with you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, okay. Then ''{music restarts}'' I am be'sing ''{curls fists in front of himself}'' full of rage, and do'sing a roundhouse kick to your face!

''{Strong Bad jumps toward Homestar, leg outstretched. He stops in midair as Homestar starts speaking, then drops down to the floor. The music stops.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Nooope, nope nope, that was some prime choosing you committed right there. Did you see it?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, what's wrong with choosing?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Cheesing and choosing. ''{music restarts}'' The antithesis of be'sing and do'sing! If you're choosin', you're losin'.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just because something rhymes doesn't mean it's good life advice!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah! And that's a perfect example of cheesing! You're a textbook case, Strong Bad. Textbook! Aaand speaking of textbooks, don't forget to purchase my new book at the upcoming...

''{Cut to a blue screen.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{these words appear in the upper left:}'' Always Be's Do'sing ''{these words appear in the upper-right:}'' 3 Day Life Cleanse Seminar ''{a logo for Bubsmfort Inn & Suites Conference Center appears at the bottom}'' at Bubsmfort Inn and Suites Conference Center!

''{The Bubsmfort Inn & Suites Conference Center logo moves off the bottom of the screen, while the words "cheesing" and "choosing" take its place}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Rid yourself of damaging cheesing and choosing ''{red X's appear over those words}'' with guest speakers—

''{The lower words are replaced with silhouettes of Homestar, Bubs, and Strong Bad in dark yellow boxes}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' —including Homestar Runner, ''{Homestar's name appears as he fades in}'' founder of the totally-not-cult-like— ''{a red label reading "60% Less Culty" appears over the corner of Homestar's portrait}'' —ABD movement!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Changin' attitudes with rhymin' platitudes!

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Entrepreneurial be's do'ser, and self-made do's be'ser, Bubs!

''{Bubs's name appears as he fades in.}''

'''BUBS:''' I'm stickin' with leg boats!

''{A yellow label reading "Not Kayaks!" appears next to Bubs's portrait.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And the creator of File Folder Shaped Vitamins and File Folder Shaped Vitamin Thumb Drives, Strong Bad!

''{Strong Bad's name appears as he fades in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{uncertain}'' I hope the hotel's breakfast bar can do omelettes! ''{smiles wide, as a blue label reading "Hungry!" appears over the corner of his portrait}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' All this and more at the Always Be's Do'sing 3 Day Life Cleanse Seminar!

''{The screen darkens and goes out of focus as Homestar pops up over it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If you're not attending, you're gonna be... lending. ''{unsure}'' Your neighbor... a... yard tool... like a shovel. Or a rake. Yeah. Yeah, that's great. ''{quickly}'' See you at the conference! ABD! Not a cult! Wooo! ''{runs offscreen}''

''{The commercial comes back to focus as the CGI Paper comes down.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' C-G-eeow!

''{After a few seconds, cut back to the "loading" screen, the timer now reading "00:95".}''

'''FOLLY:''' ''{voiceover}'' and... a... and then people might think it's gonna be loading forever...

''{The timer hits "00:100" and then immediately cuts back to Folly and Bubs in the field.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ...and then it's like... ''{considers}'' Stinkoman comes up and punches Bubs in the face.

''{Stinkoman walks up to Bubs, suddenly becomes muscular, shouts, and punches Bubs into the distance. As he disappears into the sky, the words "happy april fools' day" appear in the "loading" font.}''

174.62.238.201: /* Redirect */

{{ttbd}}
==Redirect==

There is nothing we can put in this page that isn't already sufficiently covered in [[The Next April Fools Thing]]. It doesn't need to be a separate page. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 04:16, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
:According to the [[HRWiki:Inclusion Guidelines|inclusion guidelines]], "a H*R-specific item or location needs only one appearance in the body of work, as long as it played an important role in the plot or substance of the work". It seems that H*R-specific organizations fall most closely under that category than any of the others. As such, this would seem to qualify (albeit the page as it stands now is poorly written and sorely lacking). I say '''at least give the page a chance''' {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 07:57, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
::I agree (and indeed, I would say we should update that item to include “organizations”. -[[Special:Contributions/166.137.252.107|166.137.252.107]] 13:46, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
I'm trying to find a predecessor page. We have pages like [[The Battle of Strong Badia]] and the [[All-Wide Science Fair]] for example; events that appeared in just one toon. We could make it like one of those, describing what kind of event it was and who attended. -- [[Special:Contributions/68.37.43.131|68.37.43.131]] 10:58, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
:::This is more of an organization than an event, but that's fine too. A couple of similar Precedents: [[Broternal Order of Different Helmets]], [[Team Kneepads]], [[Wet Knee Gumption Club]]. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 13:52, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
::::If [[LURN]] gets its own page then ABD does too. {{unsigned|75.57.6.33|20:04, 21 June 2019 (UTC)}}
:::::I concur with DeFender and anony. While it's sorta weird in the grand scope of Wikis, HRWiki has had a long history of pages for one-off organisations and the sort. I think this deserves a page. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 20:51, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
::::::Now that this has been expanded to a full page, I see no reason to delete it. '''Keep.''' {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 00:36, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
::::(I wrote this last night, then held out on posting it to find more examples of redirects) I honestly wouldn't mind seeing [[Wet Knee Gumption Club]] changed to a redirect. I wouldn't call this an item, location, or organization; it's a phrase that Homestar drastically embellishes. I admit the page looks better than it did <s>last night</s> the night before last, but it still seems strange to have it here. Some similar precedents for redirects are [[Temple of Apshai]], [[sbu]], [[jumbo/LARGE]], [[Slightly Shotgunned Compy]], [[plan "g"]], [[Van Mundegaarde]], [[Brain Sister]], [[Erweenga]], and [[Purple Wrench]]. This page is more deserving of an article than, I'd say, maybe some of those. Anonny 75: [[L.U.R.N.]] has two distinct appearances, and it is a more defined organization. It's more deserving of a page than this is. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 05:25, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
:::::It's a phrase that Homestar drastically embellishes that has its own lecture explaining it and a 3 day seminar. It's as much of an organization as any of the other examples I mentioned. The examples you mentioned, on the other hand...
:::::*[[Temple of Apshai]] - Mentioned and seen only briefly as an example of a game SB would rather be playing, and could have been anything. Not crucial to the plot.
:::::*[[sbu]] - Not an item, location, or organization, just a word SB was trying to get Bubs to say.
:::::*[[jumbo/LARGE]] - Again, not an item, location or organization, and was a "running joke" in only that one toon.
:::::*[[Slightly Shotgunned Compy]] - This redirects to the slightly shotgunned compy menu... Not sure what you're trying to show with this one.
:::::*[[plan "g"]] - Not an item, location, or organization, and was a one-off joke building on the [[G]] running joke.
:::::*[[Van Mundegaarde]] - Another one-off joke, and not particularly crucial to the plot.
:::::*[[Brain Sister]] - a song, not an item, location, or organization, and documenting it separately would basically just be a straight copy-paste of the lyrics already documented on its toon's page.
:::::*[[Erweenga]] - Seriously? This is a weird name SB made up and said once. This is in no way similar.
:::::*[[Purple Wrench]] - Another one-off joke with a one-time-appearance item that didn't play a large role.
:::::None of these fit the criteria being discussed here, which is an organization on which a large portion of the toon is focused. [[SBASAF]], for instance, though it now has 4 appearances, was created as a page on the same day that the toon it first appeared in was released. A toon in which, I might add, the organization was just as silly and pretend as ABD was in its toon, if not more so. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 09:57, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
::::::I would say that [[SBASAF]] is a more defined organization than this is, although I've never really understood the connection between some aluminum foil and space travel. It predates my H*R experience, but I probably would have supported redirecting it until the joke was revisited. By 2009 it was well deserving of its own page. The examples I mentioned all redirect to the toon they appear in, which is what I thought should happen with this. I would say that [[sbu]] was more crucial to the plot of the toon it's in, and what DF said about [[jumbo/LARGE]] is exactly what I said about this: a running joke in only this one toon. [[Slightly Shotgunned Compy]] is an item that redirects to the toon it's primarily featured in. [[Van Mundegaarde]] and [[Erweenga]] were meant to be less compelling examples. I guess I didn't give the "lecture explaining it and 3-day seminar" any credence in the toon, so that's probably why I didn't think it should be called an organization. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 18:34, 23 June 2019 (UTC)
:::::::Don’t forget Homestar also wrote a book! -[[Special:Contributions/174.62.238.201|174.62.238.201]] 20:37, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

174.62.238.201: /* Sbemail 208 */

== Sbemail 208 ==

Even though it technically is an April Fools toon, should we still refer to it as Sbemail 208? --{{User:Mml554/sig}} 10:25, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
:If it doesn't appear on the Sbemail menu, it's not an email. We call things like this [[Strong Bad Email#Not Quite Strong Bad Emails|Not Quite Strong Bad Emails]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 15:17, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

:::I think it should be treated similarly to [[Trogdor Was Dragon Man]]. It's a Powered by The Cheat toon, but not listed as such on the toons menu. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 00:05, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
::::Following up on Wear a Bikini's observation, we have a more direct declaration of 208-ness [https://twitter.com/StrongBadActual/status/1129039124877447168 here]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:09, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
So, it's been confirmed many times that this is a Strong Bad Email. However, it's not listed on the email menu, and it's inside another toon. I support listing it on the [[Template:StrongBadEmailInfo|Strong Bad Email organization pages]] and such, but where do we draw the line? Do we treat this identically to a regular email? Should we put it on {{t|Strong Bad Email}}? [[Trogdor Was Dragon Man]] doesn't include the next/previous navigation bar at the top, so should it be removed here, or added there? There aren't specific guidelines for this sort of thing. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 20:29, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

:::I didn't change the subject. As I said above, [[Trogdor Was Dragon Man]] is a PBTC toon not listed on the PBTC menu, and [[The Next April Fools Thing]] is a sbemail not listed on the sbemail menu. I brought it up because it's similar in that regard, and both toons should probably be treated the same. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 19:27, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

== Aloud/Allowed but Deadly ==
Which does everyone think Strong Bad is saying? At first "aloud but deadly" didn't make sense before Mee proposed that it could be an opposite of "silent but deadly". I think "allowed but deadly", as in legal but deadly, would be more of a funny joke, and more within Strong Bad's character to say. What does everyone else think? {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 17:01, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
: I, the transcriber of the toon, wrote "Allowed"... because "Aloud" didn't occur to me. Now that it's been posited, I do think it's the correct interpretation. But man, [[Senorial Day|this isn't the first time]] we've had disagreements over homophones being used in bizarre contexts... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:20, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
:: I'll admit, it didn't occur to me at first either, and when I saw the first edit that changed it to "aloud", I was also thinking of reverting it back to "allowed", but after thinking about it for a moment, "aloud" seemed to make more sense while also being a clever joke. (Though I do concede that "allowed" ''would'' be in character for Strong Bad.) {{User:DEIDATVM/sig}} 14:11, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

== Be'sing a Doozer ==

When I hear the term "be's do'ser" I can't help but think of Doozers. They're these little green things in hard hats who spend their lives constructing towers in Fraggle Rock. But it's probably just a coincidental homophone. Thoughts? -- [[Special:Contributions/68.37.43.131|68.37.43.131]] 02:31, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
: If it was meant to be a reference, it probably would have been spelled like "doozer" on Homestar's sheet, or in some way a more obvious reference to Fraggle Rock would have been made. It's just a coincidence in the same way that it's probably not a reference to [[Wikipedia:The Beezer|this]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:06, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

''{The scene opens in the Field. Folly enters and looks toward the camera.}''

'''FOLLY:''' For the next April Fools' thing, why doesn't it do, like, there's a picnic...

''{A rolled-up picnic blanket appears and unrolls itself.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ...and there's like... and there's a bunch of food in it...

''{An apple, a sandwich, a bag of "CH'P", a second sandwich, and a pie appear on the blanket.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ...and a picnic basket...

''{All the food moves together and a basket appears around it.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ...and... ''{considers}'' then Bubs is like...

''{Bubs appears next to the basket.}''

'''FOLLY and BUBS:''' ''{both waving their arms}'' Picnic! Picnic! Picnic!

'''FOLLY:''' And then Homestar shows up and says "blah"!

''{Homestar walks up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Blah.

'''FOLLY:''' And then Strong Bad shows up and says "blah"!

''{Strong Bad flies in from over the bushes in the background and lands on the blanket.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Blah.

'''FOLLY:''' And then everybody shows up and says "blah"!

''{The camera cuts back a little to show all the other main characters standing nearby.}''

'''ALL BUT FOLLY, BUBS, HOMESTAR, STRONG BAD, and THE POOPSMITH:''' Blah!

''{Cut back in so those characters are offscreen. Homestar and Strong Bad are no longer present.}''

'''FOLLY:''' And then Bubs is like "I'm closing the shop! Nobody's buying this picnic!"

''{Bubs disappears into the basket, and the blanket rolls up around the basket and disappears.}''

'''FOLLY:''' And then, and then, and then there's a loading sign...

''{Scene cuts to a loading screen, using the same drawing style and colors as Folly. The letters of "loading" grow and shrink in sequence.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...and it loads for, like, one hundred seconds, and then, and then... and...

''{A timer appears under the "loading sign" and counts the seconds.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ''{voiceover, apparently unsure how to continue}'' ...and it loads for one hundred seconds, and th—... and then it's like... and... and then it... and then... and then it's like... ''{the audio repeats:}'' and it loads for one hundred seconds... and th—... and then it's like...

''{As the timer reaches "00:25", abrupt cut to the computer room. Strong Bad is in front of the Lappier.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rhythmically}'' If I can't check my email, then how I'm supposed to live my life? ''{brings up an email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
Dear Strong Bad, 
what do you do to keep up your personal 
motivation and inspiration? 
Sincerely, Mollie B.
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads the greeting as "Dingle Dongle dear Stringle Bongle".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that is a waste of a perfectly good middle "B" initial, Mollie! Lemme fix that for ya! ''{edits the name to:}'' Sincerely, Mollie B. Chowdwerworth Gruelmanger. You know, of the Puntington Farms Gruelmangers. ''{moves his cursor down next to the prompt}'' There we go. ''{typing}'' For motivation, I do what any great coach does, and berate myself until I get results or until I quit the team and press charges!

''{Cut to the locker room, as Strong Bad shouts into a mirror:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Chowderworth Gruelmanger?! You call that an overly-complicated old-timey last name?! That is bush-league, son! I am sick and tired of this crap! And I'm sick of losing to Purdue!

''{Cut back to show Coach Z standing nearby, twirling a jock strap.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Now that fella really knows how to mortavort a porson.

''{Cut back to the Lappier}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' There's also that weird jocked-up thing of punching yourself in the face to get motivated. But unless you happen to have boxing gloves for hands, I wouldn't recommend it.

''{Cut to Strong Mad sitting at a table next to a glass of orange juice.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' YOU CAN DO IT, STRONG MAD. ''{pounds the table}'' YOU CAN TALK TO ORANGE JUICE!

''{He winds up his right fist, aimed at himself. Strong Bad leans in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, Strong Mad, wait—

''{Strong Mad punches himself in the face and falls offscreen. Strong Bad winces as he lands. Cut back to the Lappier.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But if you can afford it, no force is more motivational than...spiky ceiling that closes in on you!

''{Cut to the basement of the Brothers Strong. Strong Sad is holding a video game controller and looking panicked, as Strong Bad coaches him and a spiky ceiling slowly descends over them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You better beat this end boss or we're all gonna die! We're all gonna die!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{frantically hitting buttons}'' Aah! It keeps making me jump when I'm not pressing juuuuuuump!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or we're all gonna diiiii—

''{One of the spikes pokes into Strong Bad's head. Cut back to the Lappier.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' As for the inspirasche, you know how people always say, ''{mockingly}'' "inspiration sneaks up on you." Well, I like-a to turn the tables!

''{Cut to Bubs in his Concession Stand, waving his arms back and forth. Strong Bad tiptoes behind it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I sneak up on people and force ''them'' to inspire ''me!''

''{Strong Bad peeks around the side of the Stand.}''

'''BUBS:''' Well, I'll just continue doing what I was just doing, and...

''{Strong Bad jumps out in front of Bubs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' INSPIRE ME!

'''BUBS:''' Aaah! Mlg— leg boats!

''{Strong Bad lowers his eyelids, unimpressed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Leg boats? That all ya got?

'''BUBS:''' Er, yeah! It's like a little boat that your legs go inside of!

'''STRONG BAD:''' So it's a kayak.

'''BUBS:''' No, no. For while you're standing up.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So it's water skis.

'''BUBS:''' Yeah, yeah. 'Cept it's called "leg boats".

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's not inspiring! ''{starts to walk off}'' Guess I'll just walk away and ''{quickly jumps back} {rapidly}'' no I'm not just kidding INSPIRE ME!

'''BUBS:''' Aaah! File!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah?

'''BUBS:''' Um... folder...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeeeeah?

'''BUBS:''' ...shaped vitamins?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now that's inspiring!

''{Cut to a bottle of "Smarty Juice File Folder Shaped Vitamins".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Yes, File Folder Shaped Vitamins: because office workers lead hollow lives, and this is the kind of thing they'd be into.

''{A few "vitamins" appear. A different tagline appears under the bottle: "Great for the break room or maybe a desk drawer!". Cut back to the Lappier.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You see Madam Chowdygruel, if you know the right techniques, you too can motivate and inspire gimmicky white-collar products that they sell in the checkout line at the office supply store. Oooh! Which just inspired me to think of—

''{A page slides in from the left, covering the screen. Several advertisements are visible, including an ad for the vitamins and, next to it, an ad for "File Folder Shaped Vitamin Shaped Thumbdrive!!", with a picture of a USB thumb drive that looks like a red vitamin.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —File Folder Shaped Vitamin Shaped Thumbdrives! Available in never show up on your desktop ''{text is added underneath the drive reading "*Never show up on your desktop"}'' and some-the-times show up on your desktop ''{another purple thumb drive appears with text reading "*Some-the-times show up on your desktop"}'' varieties!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Always be'sing and do'sing!

''{Cut to the computer room, showing Homestar sitting on a boulder next to Strong Bad's desk, turned away from Strong Bad with a concentrated face.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And never cheesing or choosing! Always be'sing and do'sing!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Er... Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And never cheesing or choosing!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looking back at Strong Bad; normally}'' Yeah, what?

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're in my house.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yup. ''{closes his eyes and nods}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Again.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeppers.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aaand you brought a boulder.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Not me. Plate tectonics.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{jumping up}'' What are you doin' in here, man?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. ''{swings his legs around to face Strong Bad}'' Well, I heard you talking about motivation and inspiration, and I decided to brush off my old ''{stands up}'' ABD's!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Umm, Aloud But Deadly?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You don't know about the ABD's, Strong Bad?

''{Several seconds pass as some white noise plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whispering, aside}'' I'm just gonna stay silent in the hope that you won't tell me what it means.

''{The noise stops and instructional music starts as Homestar brings down a screen labelled "smawtboud", reading "The ABC's of the ABD's: '''A'''lways '''B'''e'sing & '''D'''o'sing".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Always be'sing and do'sing!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{eyelids lowered}'' You say that like it clarified anything.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sits down, resting one leg on the other}'' Rules for an inspired life, Strong Bad. No matter what you do, or where you are, ''{stomps with each word except "and"}'' always be's be'sing and do'sing.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So you started a cult.

''{music stops}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{shrugs}'' Yeah, kinda. For instance, I am currently be'sing on this boulder ''{lifts his legs and swivels them back and forth}'' and I am do'sing an ABD workshop with you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, okay. Then ''{music restarts}'' I am be'sing full of rage, and do'sing a roundhouse kick to your face!

''{Strong Bad jumps toward Homestar, leg outstretched. He stops in midair as Homestar starts speaking, then drops down to the floor. The music stops.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Nooope, nope nope, that was some prime choosing you committed right there. Did you see it?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, what's wrong with choosing?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Cheesing and choosing. ''{music restarts}'' The antithesis of be'sing and do'sing! If you're choosin', you're losin'.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just because something rhymes doesn't mean it's good life advice!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah! And that's a perfect example of cheesing! You're a textbook case, Strong Bad. Textbook! Aaand speaking of textbooks, don't forget to purchase my new book at the upcoming...

''{Cut to a blue screen.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{these words appear in the upper left:}'' Always Be's Do'sing ''{these words appear in the upper-right:}'' 3 Day Life Cleanse Seminar ''{a logo for Bubsmfort Inn & Suites Conference Center appears at the bottom}'' at Bubsmfort Inn and Suites Conference Center!

''{The Bubsmfort Inn & Suites Conference Center logo moves off the bottom of the screen, while the words "cheesing" and "choosing" take its place}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Rid yourself of damaging cheesing and choosing ''{red X's appear over those words}'' with guest speakers—

''{The lower words are replaced with silhouettes of Homestar, Bubs, and Strong Bad in dark yellow boxes}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' —including Homestar Runner, ''{Homestar's name appears as he fades in}'' founder of the totally-not-cult-like— ''{a red label reading "60% Less Culty" appears over the corner of Homestar's portrait}'' —ABD movement!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Changin' attitudes with rhymin' platitudes!

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Entrepreneurial be's do'ser, and self-made do's be'ser, Bubs!

''{Bubs's name appears as he fades in.}''

'''BUBS:''' I'm stickin' with leg boats!

''{A yellow label reading "Not Kayaks!" appears next to Bubs's portrait.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And the creator of File Folder Shaped Vitamins and File Folder Shaped Vitamin Thumb Drives, Strong Bad!

''{Strong Bad's name appears as he fades in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{uncertain}'' I hope the hotel's breakfast bar can do omelettes! ''{smiles wide, as a blue label reading "Hungry!" appears over the corner of his portrait}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' All this and more at the Always Be's Do'sing 3 Day Life Cleanse Seminar!

''{The screen darkens and goes out of focus as Homestar pops up over it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If you're not attending, you're gonna be... lending. ''{unsure}'' Your neighbor... a... yard tool... like a shovel. Or a rake. Yeah. Yeah, that's great. ''{quickly}'' See you at the conference! ABD! Not a cult! Wooo! ''{runs offscreen}''

''{The commercial comes back to focus as the CGI Paper comes down.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' C-G-eeow!

''{After a few seconds, cut back to the "loading" screen, the timer now reading "00:95".}''

'''FOLLY:''' ''{voiceover}'' and... a... and then people might think it's gonna be loading forever...

''{The timer hits "00:100" and then immediately cuts back to Folly and Bubs in the field.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ...and then it's like... ''{considers}'' Stinkoman comes up and punches Bubs in the face.

''{Stinkoman walks up to Bubs, suddenly becomes muscular, shouts, and punches Bubs into the distance. As he disappears into the sky, the words "happy april fools' day" appear in the "loading" font.}''

==Easter Eggs==

:''{Cut to Strong Sad in the basement, alone, pushing buttons on a game controller. The boulder is visible at the top of the screen, with debris surrounding it.}''
:'''STRONG SAD:''' Always be'sing and do'sing, and never cheesing or choosing, and always— Hey! I beat the end boss!
:''{Clapping Party sounds play.}''
:*After the Easter egg, it cuts back to the loading screen at 95 seconds.

Talk:the next april fools thing

174.62.238.201 — Sun, 23 Jun 2019 16:35:45 GMT

174.62.238.201: /* Sbemail 208 */

== Sbemail 208 ==

Even though it technically is an April Fools toon, should we still refer to it as Sbemail 208? --{{User:Mml554/sig}} 10:25, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
:If it doesn't appear on the Sbemail menu, it's not an email. We call things like this [[Strong Bad Email#Not Quite Strong Bad Emails|Not Quite Strong Bad Emails]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 15:17, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
::Strong Bad says this counts as sbemail 208 in this Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/StrongBadActual/status/1087032507969781766 [[User:Wear a Bikini|Wear a Bikini]] 16:21, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
:::I think it should be treated similarly to [[Trogdor Was Dragon Man]]. It's a Powered by The Cheat toon, but not listed as such on the toons menu. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 00:05, 23 January 2019 (UTC)
::::Following up on Wear a Bikini's observation, we have a more direct declaration of 208-ness [https://twitter.com/StrongBadActual/status/1129039124877447168 here]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:09, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
So, it's been confirmed many times that this is a Strong Bad Email. However, it's not listed on the email menu, and it's inside another toon. I support listing it on the [[Template:StrongBadEmailInfo|Strong Bad Email organization pages]] and such, but where do we draw the line? Do we treat this identically to a regular email? Should we put it on {{t|Strong Bad Email}}? [[Trogdor Was Dragon Man]] doesn't include the next/previous navigation bar at the top, so should it be removed here, or added there? There aren't specific guidelines for this sort of thing. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 20:29, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
:But Trogdor was a Man is not a strongbad email. -[[Special:Contributions/174.62.238.201|174.62.238.201]] 16:35, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

== Aloud/Allowed but Deadly ==
Which does everyone think Strong Bad is saying? At first "aloud but deadly" didn't make sense before Mee proposed that it could be an opposite of "silent but deadly". I think "allowed but deadly", as in legal but deadly, would be more of a funny joke, and more within Strong Bad's character to say. What does everyone else think? {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 17:01, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
: I, the transcriber of the toon, wrote "Allowed"... because "Aloud" didn't occur to me. Now that it's been posited, I do think it's the correct interpretation. But man, [[Senorial Day|this isn't the first time]] we've had disagreements over homophones being used in bizarre contexts... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:20, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
:: I'll admit, it didn't occur to me at first either, and when I saw the first edit that changed it to "aloud", I was also thinking of reverting it back to "allowed", but after thinking about it for a moment, "aloud" seemed to make more sense while also being a clever joke. (Though I do concede that "allowed" ''would'' be in character for Strong Bad.) {{User:DEIDATVM/sig}} 14:11, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

== Be'sing a Doozer ==

When I hear the term "be's do'ser" I can't help but think of Doozers. They're these little green things in hard hats who spend their lives constructing towers in Fraggle Rock. But it's probably just a coincidental homophone. Thoughts? -- [[Special:Contributions/68.37.43.131|68.37.43.131]] 02:31, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
: If it was meant to be a reference, it probably would have been spelled like "doozer" on Homestar's sheet, or in some way a more obvious reference to Fraggle Rock would have been made. It's just a coincidence in the same way that it's probably not a reference to [[Wikipedia:The Beezer|this]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:06, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

==Transcript==
''{The scene opens in the Field. Folly enters and looks toward the camera.}''

'''FOLLY:''' For the next April Fools' thing, why doesn't it do, like, there's a picnic...

''{A rolled-up picnic blanket appears and unrolls itself.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ...and there's like... and there's a bunch of food in it...

''{An apple, a sandwich, a bag of "CH'P", a second sandwich, and a pie appear on the blanket.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ...and a picnic basket...

''{All the food moves together and a basket appears around it.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ...and... ''{considers}'' then Bubs is like...

''{Bubs appears next to the basket.}''

'''FOLLY and BUBS:''' ''{both waving their arms}'' Picnic! Picnic! Picnic!

'''FOLLY:''' And then Homestar shows up and says "blah"!

''{Homestar walks up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Blah.

'''FOLLY:''' And then Strong Bad shows up and says "blah"!

''{Strong Bad flies in from over the bushes in the background and lands on the blanket.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Blah.

'''FOLLY:''' And then everybody shows up and says "blah"!

''{The camera cuts back a little to show all the other main characters standing nearby.}''

'''ALL BUT FOLLY, BUBS, HOMESTAR, STRONG BAD, and THE POOPSMITH:''' Blah!

''{Cut back in so those characters are offscreen. Homestar and Strong Bad are no longer present.}''

'''FOLLY:''' And then Bubs is like "I'm closing the shop! Nobody's buying this picnic!"

''{Bubs disappears into the basket, and the blanket rolls up around the basket and disappears.}''

'''FOLLY:''' And then, and then, and then there's a loading sign...

''{Scene cuts to a loading screen, using the same drawing style and colors as Folly. The letters of "loading" grow and shrink in sequence.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...and it loads for, like, one hundred seconds, and then, and then... and...

''{A timer appears under the "loading sign" and counts the seconds.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ''{voiceover, apparently unsure how to continue}'' ...and it loads for one hundred seconds, and th—... and then it's like... and... and then it... and then... and then it's like... ''{the audio repeats:}'' and it loads for one hundred seconds... and th—... and then it's like...

''{As the timer reaches "00:25", abrupt cut to the computer room. Strong Bad is in front of the Lappier.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rhythmically}'' If I can't check my email, then how I'm supposed to live my life? ''{brings up an email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
Dear Strong Bad, 
what do you do to keep up your personal 
motivation and inspiration? 
Sincerely, Mollie B.

''{Strong Bad reads the greeting as "Dingle Dongle dear Stringle Bongle".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that is a waste of a perfectly good middle "B" initial, Mollie! Lemme fix that for ya! ''{edits the name to:}'' Sincerely, Mollie B. Chowdwerworth Gruelmanger. You know, of the Puntington Farms Gruelmangers. ''{moves his cursor down next to the prompt}'' There we go. ''{typing}'' For motivation, I do what any great coach does, and berate myself until I get results or until I quit the team and press charges!

''{Cut to the locker room, as Strong Bad shouts into a mirror:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Chowderworth Gruelmanger?! You call that an overly-complicated old-timey last name?! That is bush-league, son! I am sick and tired of this crap! And I'm sick of losing to Purdue!

''{Cut back to show Coach Z standing nearby, twirling a jock strap.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Now that fella really knows how to mortavort a porson.

''{Cut back to the Lappier}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' There's also that weird jocked-up thing of punching yourself in the face to get motivated. But unless you happen to have boxing gloves for hands, I wouldn't recommend it.

''{Cut to Strong Mad sitting at a table next to a glass of orange juice.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' YOU CAN DO IT, STRONG MAD. ''{pounds the table}'' YOU CAN TALK TO ORANGE JUICE!

''{He winds up his right fist, aimed at himself. Strong Bad leans in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, Strong Mad, wait—

''{Strong Mad punches himself in the face and falls offscreen. Strong Bad winces as he lands. Cut back to the Lappier.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But if you can afford it, no force is more motivational than...spiky ceiling that closes in on you!

''{Cut to the basement of the Brothers Strong. Strong Sad is holding a video game controller and looking panicked, as Strong Bad coaches him and a spiky ceiling slowly descends over them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You better beat this end boss or we're all gonna die! We're all gonna die!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{frantically hitting buttons}'' Aah! It keeps making me jump when I'm not pressing juuuuuuump!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or we're all gonna diiiii—

''{One of the spikes pokes into Strong Bad's head. Cut back to the Lappier.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' As for the inspirasche, you know how people always say, ''{mockingly}'' "inspiration sneaks up on you." Well, I like-a to turn the tables!

''{Cut to Bubs in his Concession Stand, waving his arms back and forth. Strong Bad tiptoes behind it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I sneak up on people and force ''them'' to inspire ''me!''

''{Strong Bad peeks around the side of the Stand.}''

'''BUBS:''' Well, I'll just continue doing what I was just doing, and...

''{Strong Bad jumps out in front of Bubs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' INSPIRE ME!

'''BUBS:''' Aaah! Mlg— leg boats!

''{Strong Bad lowers his eyelids, unimpressed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Leg boats? That all ya got?

'''BUBS:''' Er, yeah! It's like a little boat that your legs go inside of!

'''STRONG BAD:''' So it's a kayak.

'''BUBS:''' No, no. For while you're standing up.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So it's water skis.

'''BUBS:''' Yeah, yeah. 'Cept it's called "leg boats".

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's not inspiring! ''{starts to walk off}'' Guess I'll just walk away and ''{quickly jumps back} {rapidly}'' no I'm not just kidding INSPIRE ME!

'''BUBS:''' Aaah! File!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah?

'''BUBS:''' Um... folder...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeeeeah?

'''BUBS:''' ...shaped vitamins?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now that's inspiring!

''{Cut to a bottle of "Smarty Juice File Folder Shaped Vitamins".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Yes, File Folder Shaped Vitamins: because office workers lead hollow lives, and this is the kind of thing they'd be into.

''{A few "vitamins" appear. A different tagline appears under the bottle: "Great for the break room or maybe a desk drawer!". Cut back to the Lappier.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You see Madam Chowdygruel, if you know the right techniques, you too can motivate and inspire gimmicky white-collar products that they sell in the checkout line at the office supply store. Oooh! Which just inspired me to think of—

''{A page slides in from the left, covering the screen. Several advertisements are visible, including an ad for the vitamins and, next to it, an ad for "File Folder Shaped Vitamin Shaped Thumbdrive!!", with a picture of a USB thumb drive that looks like a red vitamin.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —File Folder Shaped Vitamin Shaped Thumbdrives! Available in never show up on your desktop ''{text is added underneath the drive reading "*Never show up on your desktop"}'' and some-the-times show up on your desktop ''{another purple thumb drive appears with text reading "*Some-the-times show up on your desktop"}'' varieties!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Always be'sing and do'sing!

''{Cut to the computer room, showing Homestar sitting on a boulder next to Strong Bad's desk, turned away from Strong Bad with a concentrated face.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And never cheesing or choosing! Always be'sing and do'sing!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Er... Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And never cheesing or choosing!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looking back at Strong Bad; normally}'' Yeah, what?

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're in my house.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yup. ''{closes his eyes and nods}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Again.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeppers.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aaand you brought a boulder.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Not me. Plate tectonics.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{jumping up}'' What are you doin' in here, man?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. ''{swings his legs around to face Strong Bad}'' Well, I heard you talking about motivation and inspiration, and I decided to brush off my old ''{stands up}'' ABD's!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Umm, Aloud But Deadly?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You don't know about the ABD's, Strong Bad?

''{Several seconds pass as some white noise plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whispering, aside}'' I'm just gonna stay silent in the hope that you won't tell me what it means.

''{The noise stops and instructional music starts as Homestar brings down a screen labelled "smawtboud", reading "The ABC's of the ABD's: '''A'''lways '''B'''e'sing & '''D'''o'sing".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Always be'sing and do'sing!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{eyelids lowered}'' You say that like it clarified anything.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sits down, resting one leg on the other}'' Rules for an inspired life, Strong Bad. No matter what you do, or where you are, ''{stomps with each word except "and"}'' always be's be'sing and do'sing.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So you started a cult.

''{music stops}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{shrugs}'' Yeah, kinda. For instance, I am currently be'sing on this boulder ''{lifts his legs and swivels them back and forth}'' and I am do'sing an ABD workshop with you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, okay. Then ''{music restarts}'' I am be'sing full of rage, and do'sing a roundhouse kick to your face!

''{Strong Bad jumps toward Homestar, leg outstretched. He stops in midair as Homestar starts speaking, then drops down to the floor. The music stops.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Nooope, nope nope, that was some prime choosing you committed right there. Did you see it?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, what's wrong with choosing?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Cheesing and choosing. ''{music restarts}'' The antithesis of be'sing and do'sing! If you're choosin', you're losin'.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just because something rhymes doesn't mean it's good life advice!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah! And that's a perfect example of cheesing! You're a textbook case, Strong Bad. Textbook! Aaand speaking of textbooks, don't forget to purchase my new book at the upcoming...

''{Cut to a blue screen.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ''{these words appear in the upper left:}'' Always Be's Do'sing ''{these words appear in the upper-right:}'' 3 Day Life Cleanse Seminar ''{a logo for Bubsmfort Inn & Suites Conference Center appears at the bottom}'' at Bubsmfort Inn and Suites Conference Center!

''{The Bubsmfort Inn & Suites Conference Center logo moves off the bottom of the screen, while the words "cheesing" and "choosing" take its place}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Rid yourself of damaging cheesing and choosing ''{red X's appear over those words}'' with guest speakers—

''{The lower words are replaced with silhouettes of Homestar, Bubs, and Strong Bad in dark yellow boxes}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' —including Homestar Runner, ''{Homestar's name appears as he fades in}'' founder of the totally-not-cult-like— ''{a red label reading "60% Less Culty" appears over the corner of Homestar's portrait}'' —ABD movement!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Changin' attitudes with rhymin' platitudes!

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Entrepreneurial be's do'ser, and self-made do's be'ser, Bubs!

''{Bubs's name appears as he fades in.}''

'''BUBS:''' I'm stickin' with leg boats!

''{A yellow label reading "Not Kayaks!" appears next to Bubs's portrait.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And the creator of File Folder Shaped Vitamins and File Folder Shaped Vitamin Thumb Drives, Strong Bad!

''{Strong Bad's name appears as he fades in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{uncertain}'' I hope the hotel's breakfast bar can do omelettes! ''{smiles wide, as a blue label reading "Hungry!" appears over the corner of his portrait}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' All this and more at the Always Be's Do'sing 3 Day Life Cleanse Seminar!

''{The screen darkens and goes out of focus as Homestar pops up over it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If you're not attending, you're gonna be... lending. ''{unsure}'' Your neighbor... a... yard tool... like a shovel. Or a rake. Yeah. Yeah, that's great. ''{quickly}'' See you at the conference! ABD! Not a cult! Wooo! ''{runs offscreen}''

''{The commercial comes back to focus as the CGI Paper comes down.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' C-G-eeow!

''{After a few seconds, cut back to the "loading" screen, the timer now reading "00:95".}''

'''FOLLY:''' ''{voiceover}'' and... a... and then people might think it's gonna be loading forever...

''{The timer hits "00:100" and then immediately cuts back to Folly and Bubs in the field.}''

'''FOLLY:''' ...and then it's like... ''{considers}'' Stinkoman comes up and punches Bubs in the face.

''{Stinkoman walks up to Bubs, suddenly becomes muscular, shouts, and punches Bubs into the distance. As he disappears into the sky, the words "happy april fools' day" appear in the "loading" font.}''

'''Running Time:''' 5:30 ([[TV Time Toons Menu]]), 9:25 (YouTube; complete with "Easter eggs")

'''Page Title:''' A Top Notch Quality Ghost Story!

==Transcript==
''{The toon opens with Marzipan playing her guitar in her living room, decorated with ghost streamers. Homestar walks up, and Marzipan stops playing as she turns around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angry}'' Marzipan, it's over! ''{raises his sword prop}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{unfazed}'' Okay.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I can't take another day of this ''{plants his sword into the floor}'' garbage relationship!

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's fine.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wait, what day is it?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{annoyed}'' Halloween.

''{Homestar produces a book labeled "PLAN THING" and opens it up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sheepishly}'' Oops, sorry! I was looking at next week. ''This'' is what I'm supposed to say to you today: ''{jumps up excitedly}'' Marzipan! This is it! ''{picks up and raises his sword}'' This Halloween I'm finally going to tell a top-notch four-and-a-half-stars-with-over-six-hundred-reviews-quality ghost story! And you know what that means!

''{The music Marzipan was playing starts back up.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Um, that you're gonna break up with me next week apparently?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dramatically}'' Mr. Poofers must die!!

''{Cut to a title screen reading "Mr. Poofers Must Die". Mr. Poofers's eyes occasionally briefly flash in place of the O's in the title. The words "A TOP-NOTCH 4½ STARS WITH OVER 600 REVIEWS QUALITY GHOST STORY" appear at the bottom of the screen.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' Who the crap is Mr. Poofers?

''{The scene transitions to Mr. Poofers on an orange background.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Hey everyone! Hey everyone, look! Hey everyone, look at Mr. Poofers!

''{Mr. Poofers sits down, with an accompanying noise.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Mr. Poofers is a dog—

''{Mr. Poofers scratches himself with his hind leg and a question mark appears over his head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' —but he sounds like this!

''{As Homestar says each word that Mr. Poofers "sounds like", Mr. Poofers opens his mouth, and the same word appears inside it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Miffa miffa meeka moo!

''{Mr. Poofers looks around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' That is funny talk for a dog!

''{Mr. Poofers stands up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' What a great cloud with legs Mr. Poofers is.

''{Mr. Poofers's fur fluffs out to make him look more cloud-like.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Uh, I mean, what a great ''dog''—

''{Mr. Poofers returns to normal and scratches himself.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' —Mr. Poofers is!

''{The screen changes to a dining room table with three pine cones on it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Mr. Poofers eats pimecones for breakfast, ''{Mr. Poofers appears and eats half of the first pine cone}'' lunch, ''{he eats the second}'' and dinner. ''{he eats the third}'' Imagine that! Pimecones for B, L, and D!

''{As he says that last part, placards labeled "B", "L", and "D" fall in front of the half-eaten pine cones. Cut to Old Man Rootbeer, who looks around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, look! Oh, look, everyone! There's Old Man Rootbeer! Old Man Rootbeer is not a big fan of Mr. Poofers.

''{The screen pans over as Mr. Poofers runs up in the background. Old Man Rootbeer shakes his fist at him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Not really that much of a big fan at all. ''{As Rootbeer, who points at Mr. Poofers:}'' That kid eats my pimecones! ''{normally}'' Shouted Old Man Rootbeer.

''{Cut to Rootbeer and Mr. Poofers, standing near a hammock with four pine cones sitting nearby.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover, as Rootbeer}'' I'm gonna take a nap on my college hammock, ''{Rootbeer shakes his fist}'' so don't eat my pimecones! ''{normally}'' Old Man Rootbeer told Mr. Poofers. ''{as Mr. Poofers}'' Miffa miffa!

''{Rootbeer lies down on the hammock, and his hat falls over his face.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' After a few moments, Old Man Rootbeer had fallen a-slumber.

''{Mr. Poofers sneaks closer.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Juuust when the moment was right... Mr. Poofers stole his beard!

''{Mr. Poofers takes Rootbeer's beard and runs off. Rootbeer jumps up, his entire face now covered in the remnants of his beard, and shakes his fist.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' What a prize!

''{Cut to Mr. Poofers happily hugging the beard. A "ding" sound effect plays as the beard shines.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' An old man's beard, no less!

''{Cut to Homestar, standing next to a table with a candle on it, as silhouettes of the other characters look on. White noise plays for a few seconds as he looks around. Cut to a shot of the other main characters.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummmm... what did I just listen to?

''{Cut back to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, sorry. "The end."

''{Cut to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Is ''that'' what you dragged us all here for?!

''{Cut to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Wasn't Mr. Poofers supposed to die?

''{Cut to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aw, man! Did it happen again?! Every time I try and tell a spooky Mr. Poofers story—

''{Cut to Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Which has now been exactly one time.

''{Cut to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —he always survives! I thought, if I could finally kill him off, it would definitely become a top-notch four-and-a-half-stars-with-over-six-hundred-reviews-quality ghost story.

''{Cut to Bubs.}''

'''BUBS:''' But it didn't even sound like you tried to off Mr. Poofers in the first place.

''{Cut to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, but I did. Watch this: I'm about to say "Then Mr. Poofers' head fell off and he died, died, died." Ahem.

''{Cut to Mr. Poofers walking down the street.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Mr. Poofers was thinking about a branch, ''{a thought bubble with a branch appears over his head}'' a hotel, ''{the bubble expands an a hotel labeled "OH SWELL" is added}'' and a $350 pair of loafers.

''{The bubble expands and a pair of brown shoes marked "350" is added. Then it disappears and Mr. Poofers spins, looking like a tornado.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Gee whiz! That's a lot of Kansas match right there!

''{Mr. Poofers strikes a triumphant pose. The image poofs away and cuts back to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' See? It's like somethin' takes a hold of ya when you're telling a Mr. Poofers story!

''{Cut to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Eh, what a bunch of balarney. Ain't nobaddy can get fatally irresponsible with an animal like Coach Z! Let me take a whack at it. And I'll try and finish your story too!

''{Cut to Mr. Poofers and Old Man Rootbeer standing next to each other near a wall.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Look, gentlemen! A roundish box!

''{A roundish box drops into the scene as both characters take a step back.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' Mr. Poofers ''{the "oo" is pronounced as in the word "hook"}'' pretended there was such thing as a roundish box.

''{Mr. Poofers pushes it toward Rootbeer.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' He gave it to Old M'n Rootber, ''{The "oo" is again pronounced as in "hook". Rootbeer scratches his head}'' who absolutely had not asked for it. ''{as Rootbeer:}'' This better be replacement pimecones! ''{normally}'' Belted Old M'n Rootber.

''{Rootbeer reaches into the box and produces a broken half of a brush with brown hairs stuck to it as an electric sound effect is heard. He looks at it, puzzled.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' It was half a hairbrush. ''{pronounces the L in "half"}''

''{Rootbeer turns the brush over. The scene poofs away as we cut back to Coach Z, whose face is covered in sweat.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{freaked out}'' Ooooohhhh! That wasn't me! That wasn't me! I tried to kill 'im! I swear!

''{Cut to Marzipan}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, shut up, Coach Z, you infant. I'll kill the stupid dog.

''{Cut to Mr. Poofers sitting on a tiled floor.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' "Miffa meeka" ''{Mr. Poofers's mouth opens wide as those words exit through it.}'' said Mr. Poofers, out of his entire mouth. Mr. Poofers never complains, except once—

''{Scene shifts to Mr. Poofers looking at a table as a bowl of pudding, with a hair sticking out of it, slides in front of him.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' —in a cafeteria, with bad, bad pudding.

''{Mr. Poofers knocks it away angrily.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' I mean, have you ever—?

''{The scene poofs away and cuts back to Marzipan, whose face is also covered in sweat.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{distraught}'' I was wrong! I was so wrong!

''{Pan over to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oooh, this is getting supernaturally interesting! All right, Poofers, it's time for you to face... the Deathly Pallor! ''{closes his eyes, tenses up, and starts wiggling his fingers}'' I invoke protections from the third arcane level and send my mind into the psychic vault! You shall not break through! ''{opens his eyes and holds his arms wide}''

''{Cut to Mr. Poofers}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Pimecone.

''{A pine cone appears. The scene then poofs away and cuts back to Strong Sad, whose face is also covered in sweat, and whose fingers are still twitching.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{panicking}'' Oooohhh! Oohhh! Lemme out! It was horrible! ''{The Poopsmith puts his hand on Strong Sad's shoulder.}'' It was like Homestar's imagination was gushing out of my mouth like fire!

''{Homestar leans into the scene}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{chuckling}'' I know, right?

''{Cut to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, fine. We all knew it was coming down to this anyway. I will merc Mr. Poofers for you sad sacks! ''{mutters to himself:}'' All right, concentrate, Strong Bad. Keep your mind strong! ''{lifts his head}'' Bad! See what I did—

'''EVERYONE ELSE:''' Yes!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, sorry.

''{Cut to an image of Mr. Poofers on a path, with Old Man Rootbeer standing in the distance.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' It was nearly sunset.

''{Mr. Poofers suddenly puffs out, then slowly returns to normal.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Old Man Rootbeer stood at the end of the ave—

''{Zoom in on Rootbeer, and a flamethrower appears behind him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —flamethrower slung 'cross his back. ''{as Rootbeer:}'' You ate one pimecone too many, Mr. Poofers! ''{normally}'' Harkened Old M. R... Beer.

''{Rootbeer grabs the flamethrower and aims it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' He took dead aim on Mr. ... ''{he shows signs of starting to struggle to speak}'' Poofers...

''{Strong Bad appears in the corner of the screen, his face covered in sweat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dead aim, you see! And then...

''{Cut to Rootbeer holding the flamethrower, whose tip comes aflame.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...he... pulled... the tr— trrrri— trrrrrrrrrrr—

''{Sudden cut to a trolley labeled "O.M.R.B." with "POOFERS AVE." marked as its destination. Rootbeer is riding the trolley, smiling widely.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover, singing}'' Trolley 'round the block and then he gave it a ding!

''{The trolley's bell rings: Ding! Cut to another view of the trolley, with Mr. Poofers now riding it too.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover, singing}'' Mr. Poofers hopped aboard and they began to sing! How could we ever, how come we never—

''{Cut back to the main characters. As they sing, the words appear above them.}''

'''EVERYONE:''' ''{singing}'' Why can't we slice that pie?

''{Strong Bad collapses. Everyone else huffs in fatigue.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Awwwww! It's no use! Mr. Poofers is too powerful!

''{Cut to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I guess we'll just have to start worshiping Mr. Poofers as our dark overlord.

''{All overlapping each other:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Eh, sounds good to me. 
'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Yeah, sure. 
'''MARZIPAN:''' I'll try anything once. 
'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{unintelligible}'' 
'''BUBS:''' ''{unintelligible}'' 
'''COACH Z:''' No other choice. 
'''STRONG SAD:''' You know I'm down.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All hail Mr. Poofers.

'''EVERYONE:''' Miffa miffa meeka moo!

''{As the music picks up, cut to outside Marzipan's house, as a ghostly image of Mr. Poofers rises over it. Then cut to a Bookazon page for "Mr. Poofers Must Die: Homestar's Top-Notch Ghost Story", which starts with no stars and -4 customer reviews, but raises to four and a half stars and 601 reviews. Then, fade to The Field, where everyone is standing in costume. "Homestar as Dirk the Daring" appears next to Homestar.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Homestar, nice Dork the Daring costume!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, that's who I dressed up as. Dirk ''{sounds like "dork" due to Homestar's speech patterns}'' the Daring.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, no, I said ''Dork'' the Daring!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right, right, Diiiiirk the Daring!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{groans, then quickly:}'' Hey Homestar, Duck left!

''{The caption disappears as a yellow light flashes on the left side of the screen and Homestar dodges to the left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, right!

''{A yellow light flashes on the right side of the screen and Homestar dodges right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, sword!

''{A yellow sword blinks to Homestar's right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, left sword!

''{A yellow sword blinks to Homestar's left. Then, sad music from Dragon's Lair plays as Homestar turns into a skeleton.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, man!

''{Homestar's skeleton collapses.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mooooom! Can I have 75 more dollars in quarters?

''{Homestar returns to normal with a flash. A box reading "Strong Bad as Viewtiful Joe" appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Henshin-a-go-go, baby! That's... all that I remember from that game. Cool shading, maybe? Slow-mo? ''{His scarf starts to move.}'' Scarf... effects?

''{The box disappears but reappears near Marzipan reading "Marzipan as J. Mascis".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Marzipan. I really like your thrift store Gandalf costume.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey, Marzipan! Where you been?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, nobody gets that!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{clearly amused}'' Hey, Marzipan! You're living all over me! Mm-hm?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No one gets it!

'''STRONG SAD:''' That's okay! Whatever's cool with me!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah, I get the joke, Strong Sad, and it's still really lame.

''{The box disappears and reappears next to The Cheat, reading "The Cheat as a Korok". He jumps and throws leaves as wood block sound effects play.}''

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

''{The box disappears and reappears next to Strong Sad, reading "Strong Sad as Tummi Gummi".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Sad! I really tend to like your Bill Murray from cartoon Ghostbusters from the voice of Garfield: The Movie dot com costume! Never before has one voice so embodied ''{half-closes his eyes with orange eyelids, resembling Garfield}'' half-closed eyelids.

''{The box disappears and reappears next to Strong Mad, reading "Strong Mad as Kano".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{accusatory tone}'' Strong Mad?

'''STRONG MAD:''' FUNNY JOKE?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Buddy?

'''STRONG MAD:''' FUNNY JOKE ABOUT MY COSTUME?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, big fella. There are no jokes about your costume. Because no one knows who it is.

''{A question mark appears in the box, making it "Strong Mad as Kano?"}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' BUT JUDGE DREDD!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, but you didn't dress up as Judge Dredd, did you?

'''STRONG MAD:''' ... BUT PROXIMITY TO JUDGE DREDD!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm sorry. It's not enough. You're just blue Frankenstein. Better luck next year.

''{Strong Mad cries. The box disappears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, Coach Z?

''{The box appears near Coach Z and Pom Pom, reading "Coach Z & Pom Pom as Missy Elliot".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do I even wanna know how you and Pom Pom are pulling this costume off?

'''COACH Z:''' I can assure you: you do not.

''{Pom Pom's head pops out.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''COACH Z:''' Get back in there!

''{One of the costume's hands pushes Pom Pom's head back in. The box disappears and reappears next to The Poopsmith, reading "Poopsmith as a Sea Monkey".}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Y'all think that's the Poopsmith...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{whispering}'' This is gonna be about food.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' But in reality...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's gonna be about food.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I finally bred sea monkeys large enough to make sea monkey po'boys!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yup, I told ya: about food.

''{Cut to Homsar standing on Homestar's porch.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' IIiiIIiiII've got hyperlinks stashed-a-mundo!

''{The box appears reading "Homsar as David St. Hubbins". Homestar pokes out of the door.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Homsar! I really like your "Doug Henning made his own mustache disappear" costume! ''{Goes back inside, but then immediately pops out again}'' It's really good! ''{Goes back inside, waits a moment, and then pops out again}'' It’s a really good costume!

''{He goes back inside one final time as the scene cuts back to The Field. The box appears next to the King of Town, reading "King of Town as Little Debbie".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' King of Town? Spot-on Little Debbie costume! Bubs? Serviceable Little Debbie's Dad costume.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I always figured Little Debbie was the snack child of Lord Baldrick Entenmann and Dame Sara Lee!

''{The box disappears and reappears next to Bubs, reading "Bubs as Stan S. Stanman".}''

'''COACH Z:''' Say, Bubs. Can ya sell me any previously-owned vessels?

'''BUBS:''' ''{flailing his arms wildly}'' Check it out check it out check it out check it out check it out check it out check it out check it out check it out check it out!

''{The scene cuts to a fake "Up Next" screen for "The Cheat Commandos Arbor Day Special", showing the Homestar puppet with a single cyclops eye in place of its usual eyes, and figurines of Reynold, Gunhaver, and Silent Rip in its mouth. After a few seconds, cut to a Yonder Website scene. Character 1 walks along and finds a familiar-looking giant ball of fluff.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Say, what's that, Character 1? Why, it looks like someone's left out the cushion from a papasan chair, that's right.

''{Character 1 leans on the fluff.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Real comfortable. Take a nap.

''{Mr. Poofers's eyes and tongue appear in the "fluff". Character 1 jumps back.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Say, that's no cushion!

''{Mr. Poofers stands up.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Why, it's some sort of beast of the apocalypse!

''{Mr. Poofers yawns.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Say, Beast of the Apocalypse!

''{Mr. Poofers opens his eyes upon being addressed.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' You look like you might need to be a little bit appeased.

''{Mr. Poofers puffs his fur out.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Is that right? Well, you know what that means, Character 1!

''{An orange falls from the sky in front of Character 1.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' A little bit of sacrificial fruit, that's right.

''{Character 1 catches the orange as Mr. Poofers turns around and opens his mouth. Character 1 throws the orange into his mouth.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Make an offering. Avert the apocalypse. Far out.

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*This is the first Halloween toon to have two main characters share one costume.
*Strong Bad's [[Wikipedia:Viewtiful Joe|Viewtiful Joe]] costume was first mentioned by Matt Chapman during the [[SBCG4AP Playthrough]].

===Goofs===
*The end scene says that Coach Z and Pom Pom are dressed up as "Missy Elliot", whose last name is spelled with two T's.

===Inside References===
*The name "Mr. Poofers" was previously used in [[Fan Costumes '06]] to refer to a fluffy, white dog wearing a Homestar Runner costume.
*Marzipan asks, "Who the crap is Mr. Poofers?" just as Strong Bad asks, "Who the crap is Dijjery Doo?" in [[Homestar Runner Goes for the Gold]].

*Bubs reprises his "check it out" chant from [[Lookin at a Thing in a Bag]].
*The [[Fake Youtube Thumbnails#List of Autoplay Thumbnails|fake autoplay thumbnail]] depicts a [[Puppet Stuff]] version of [[Cyclops Homestar]] from [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], with [[Cheat Commandos]] vinyl figurines from the [[store]] in its mouth.
*Strong Bad refers to Mr. Poofers as the fluff from a papasan. A papasan was given particular notice in [[Fan Costumes 2017]].

===Real-World References===
*The riff which plays throughout the toon is very reminiscent of the one from post-punk band [[Wikipedia:The Slits|The Slits]]' song "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4Sq5s6ZSj8 Typical Girls]".
*''[[Wikipedia:You're Living All Over Me|You're Living All Over Me]]'', ''[[Wikipedia:Where You Been|Where You Been]]'', and ''[[Wikipedia:Whatever's Cool with Me|Whatever's Cool with Me]]'' are all albums or EPs by J Mascis' band [[Wikipedia:Dinosaur Jr.|Dinosaur Jr.]]

__TOC__

== [[Weekly Fanstuff]] and [[Sketchbook]] linking ==

Hi guys, after {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Annual_Checklist&diff=534194&oldid=534012 adding}} {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Annual_Checklist&diff=534195&oldid=534194 notes}} to the [[HRW:AC|Annual Checklist]] based on {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Suudsu&curid=14302&diff=534127&oldid=514203 some}} {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=alternate_universe&curid=22046&diff=534095&oldid=531458 edits}} [[User:OptimisticFool|OptimisticFool]] had to make, I realized there must be a better way to do this. Since [[Weekly Fanstuff 2008]] and [[Sketchbook 2008]] already exist and now redirect to their current counterparts (which should from now one with the checklist in place), and since we have anchor redirects, I think the best course of action would be that any new Weekly Fanstuff and Sketchbook links be constructed as <code><nowiki>[[Weekly Fanstuff 2008#</nowiki>''anchor name here'']]</code>
instead of <code><nowiki>[[Weekly Fanstuff#</nowiki>''anchor name here'']]</code> (and similarly for the Sketchbook). This would save us the trouble of having to scour for these links at the end of the year, yet they'd still work correctly this year. If we decide to follow this idea, how to we make this note prominent so that editors are aware of them when making such links? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 09:49, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
:Occasionally, I ''do'' make such links when adding or fixing an anchor, or other similar edits. You make a good point, yes. This should probably be done. Nothing wrong with a little future-proofing. Or redirects, for that matter. That's why we have them. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 10:45, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
::I've {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=H*R.com_updates_2008&diff=535021&oldid=535019 switched}} the links in that page as discussed above. Following [[HRWiki_talk:Standards#.28Don.27t_Fear.29_The_Redirect|this section]] I'm guessing we think it's desirable. Comments? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:45, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
:::Maybe it's trivial, but I think from [[Weekly Fanstuff|WF]] and [[Sketchbook|SK]], the "What Links Here" list is a mess and these are the types of changes that would clean it up. It's a slow day at the wiki, so I think I'm going to get busy on it. (Was going to see the new Indiana Jones movie, but there was a long line, so I gave up and now need something to do.) {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 19:24, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
::::Our formatting of the pages has been quite inconsistent over the years, so I created a couple of formatting templates and added them to all the pages. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:59, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

== Two more for the history books ==

Hey guys, I just ran into these two pages: [[HRWiki:Block log]] and [[HRWiki:Upload log]] which like [[HRWiki:Protection log]] and [[HRWiki:Deletion log]] should belong in [[:Category:HRWiki History]], but currently do not. They are all protected so I bring these up here. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 15:41, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

== Checklist Sign up Sheet ==

While the [[Talk:Quote of the Week|Weeklies Checklist]] has been kept up beautifully. Other checklists like [[Talk:Strong Bad Email|Strong Bad Email]], which has become quite complex, (and [[Talk:Podstar Runner|Podstar Runner]] is new) seem to be falling into some level of disregard. The most visible and common tasks have been taken care of, but the more tedious ones (like updating {{tl|StrongBadEmailInfo}}) may not be taken care of right away. To that end I would like to propose a Weekly Checklist Sign up Sheet whose purpose is ''solely'' to track whether or not one or more users ''verified'' that each item in the checklist (except for [[Strong Bad Email Statistics]]) was updated. This doesn't mean that the user has to update the list. The signature only means that all the items have been "checked off". This would ensure that at least one pair of eyes went methodically through the list making sure no stone was left unturned. Currently, we have no way of knowing if a person actually went through the checklist, or was just trying to remember some steps from memory. I know some people may think is might be too much, but given how complex some of these lists can be, it is soon becoming a necessity. I welcome your opinions. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:54, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
:I have something in the works to help with the Strong Bad Email checklist. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:08, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

== Cleanup Committee ==

I have an idea. You probably guessed it from the heading, but I'm starting to feel the need for a committee dedicated to cleaning up the wiki. The various cleanup projects, namely [[HRWiki:Article Cleanup]], which deals with featured articles, have fallen into relative obscurity or the hands of only a few users. The cleanup committee would be similar in concept to the validation committee, but would focus on spelling, grammatical errors, and correct page format. It would also strive to boost the level of clarity and compellingness of our articles. It would also be more organized and hopefully encourage more users to participate in making our fair HRWiki a better and more fun place to be. Does this sound like a good concept at least? -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 22:13, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
:I think that it is the responsibility of every active user to cleanup the wiki, therefore having such a committee would be like having a userbox saying "this user edits hrwiki"... {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:20, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
::Please don't shoot me down right away. I know every user is supposed to cleanup the wiki, but the majority don't really pay attention to articles that aren't the newest sbemail or character or what-have-you. What I'm suggesting is a much larger version of Article Cleanup, one that spanned the whole wiki and concentrated on spiffing up what we already have to make it even better. -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 23:28, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

== User space edits ==

Since most userspace edits are nothing more than updating personal info or adding userboxes, is it possible to make a setting that gives users the option to not see them in recent changes? Just a thought. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 00:34, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
:Since the first thing anyone else would say (I know I would) would be "What'd stop vandals from using that option while vandalising other people's user pages?", let me postulate this: Supposing the option only appeared for the user whose page was being edited? This is at least theoretically possible, I'm sure. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 00:54, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
::BUT WUT IF THEY SAY NASTY THINGS ABOUT YOU AND YOU TOTALLY MISS THEMS? No, but seriously, what would stop those same users from posting inappropriate material on their own userpage? {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 00:56, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
:::I think that the original request was for the user ''looking at Recent Changes'' to not see the edits to User-space.... '''not''' for the user ''making the edits'' to opt-out of their edits showing up there. That said, one can choose "User" from the dropdown, hit the invert checkbox, and bookmark that page. (Or, even change the "Recent Changes" link to it with a custom user javascript). {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 01:07, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

== Update main page ==

A while back, someone suggested we update the main page to include links to the multi-lingual welcome pages, but the idea, although it did get a lot of noise made about it, ultimately failed. Since we have had the same style of main page for [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=prev&oldid=86533 three and half years now], does anyone else think it might be a good idea to redesign the main page just for the sake of having a new main page? --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 01:06, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
:Um, anyone home? --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 04:27, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
::I have said many times that I think this is a good idea, and have even designed several test pages. Right now, however, I've just got too much on my plate to do anything about it. Feel free to try your hand at it, though. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:45, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

== 3RR Violation ==

See [[Math Kickers]] edit history.
:Yeah, we don't really have 3RR here. Besides, it's been three reverts, not the four that would be required for a 3RR vio at Wikipedia. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 14:44, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

== "Fatal Error" ==

Trying to see a previous vandal edit to Coach Z's article, I'm getting this:
<pre>
**He has occasionally [[Blubb-O's Commercial|attempted to be sent to prison]], since he would be guaranteed "three square meals a day".
**He has occasionally [[Blubb-O's Commercial|attempted to be sent to prison]], since he would be guaranteed "three square meals a day".
**He [[secret recipes|can't afford "money cost]]" ice cream.
**He [[secret recipes|can't afford "money cost]]" ice cream.

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in /home/hrwiki/public_html/includes/DifferenceEngine.php(1211) : assert code on line 1
</pre>

I don't exactly get the message, but I think it's trying to ask one of the Administrators to do something ("assert code on line 1"?). I also see the comment "<nowiki></nowiki>" in the code source. --[[Special:Contributions/71.157.173.166|71.157.173.166]] 03:09, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
:It was a vandalized state of the page that was fixed shortly after. I don't actually know what's in there, but something in the code broke the page good. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 03:14, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
::It was just some dumb ASCII art. Nothing to worry about. I took out the link. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:05, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

== Idea for Page ==
I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I had no idea where else to go. 
(Maybe this is something that needs to be stated a little clearer?) 
I think there ought to be a page about 'Phonebooks' on the HRwiki because of its many mentions: 
Eg. in the sbemails 'your funeral' and 'the movies'

I would have made it myself, but I was afraid of messing it up and infuriating fellow users. 
Anyone down with the idea?
--[[User:Lustmyeyes|lustmyeyes <3]] 05:17, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
:It has to have at least 3 references to be a running gag, so no. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 05:23, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

== Deletion category needing attention ==

To my fellow sysops: We really need to get on cleaning out the deletion category. Things have been sitting in there for months with no discussion. I've done some, but I really would like a little help. Furthermore, as I'm going out of town in a few hours, I may not be able to do much for a bit. If a bunch of us do it, it'll go a lot faster. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 09:39, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
:I did as best i could with DorianGray's help for actual deletions given my inability to delete. I managed to clear off [[:Category:Pages for Discussion]] and about a third of [[:Category:Articles for Discussion]]. The rest of them are either lacking consensus and need more opinions, or else are SBCG4AP-related and outside my ability to really judge or even understand consensus. Hope i helped. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 10:15, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

== General Toons Checklist ==

I think that we should have a Generic Toons Checklist similar to the one seen in [[Talk:Strong Bad Email]] (albeit shorter). The reason I'm saying this is that little steps such as {{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=HRWiki%3ASubtitles%2FData&diff=671537&oldid=667235 updating}} [[HRWiki:Subtitles/Data]] have been neglected in the past. While there's no guarantee that the checklist itself won't be neglected, at least we can give some structure to the updates and have a place where we can see a list and make sure we haven't missed anything. Its location would be crucial, and I think [[Talk:Main Page]] would be the best place to put it in and it's the place with the most visibility. (The checklist can explicitly point to the correct instuctions when updating [[Strong Bad Email]] or [[Weeklies]] as well.) What do you guys think? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 13:56, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
:I'm for the idea, though I don't necessarily think it should be on the main page talk. [[HRWiki:Standards]], perhaps? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:08, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
::Cool! I could have a section there for the checklist (along with links to other checklists from that page, or maybe even group them there so they're at a centralized location? -- I was thinking turning the most prominent ones into their own templates so they could be pasted in both their original and new locations). I would still like to see something in the main talk page linking to [[HRWiki:Standards]] so that people know it's there; perhaps by amending the {{tl|Main Page Talk}} header? I'll start on making the checklist and go from there. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:20, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

== HRWiki store ==

The interwiki link needs changing for HRstore:. It is now homestarrunnerstore.com. Thanks! {{User:The Goblin/sig}} 13:38, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
:Done. Thanks! For my own records: http://homestarrunner.stores.yahoo.net/ → http://www.homestarrunnerstore.com/ (We should note that somewhere in an article.) Hmm. The old Yahoo! icon doesn't seem appropriate anymore for the link. What should we use? (Interestingly, on pages where they forget to declare a favicon, it defaults to the Yahoo! one.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:23, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
::Maybe it could be the sign from [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]? Nah, it'd be a little redundant because of {{[[Template:u|u]]|cs}}. Maybe mash the H*R and Yahoo! favicons together? {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 23:57, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

== Discuss before creating a new page ==

I'm not sure how it would work, or even whether it's a good idea, but I'd like to float the suggestion that—at least until the current lull is over—no new articles be created without discussion first. (This would apply only to our secondary and tertiary articles—the ones we make to chronicle objects and themes—not toons.) It seems that during the lean times we tend to actively look for articles that can be created, ones that we might not otherwise create. Sometimes this is a [[Bubs's Shady Business Practices|good thing]]; more often, however, {{p|l={{fullurl:Special:Log|offset=20100510220000&limit=2&type=delete&user=It's+dot+com}} it is not}}. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:46, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
:I actually rather like the idea, but there's no real easy way to implement this beyond what we're already doing. Still, we really *are* just scraping for new content... and it's beginning to boil down to random wiki searches for three instances of something that isn't otherwise noteworthy. I... actually may get it for this, but I'm beginning to wonder if the "three appearances" guideline shouldn't be changed somewhat. Three appearances of something in a webtoon that's been running at a rather constant pace for more than a decade really doesn't seem particularly significant anymore, especially given the incredible periods of time between them (one in 2001, one in 2002, and a very vague offhand mention in 2009 that may or may not even be related?). Maybe expand it to five? I don't know. But we're just creating pages for anything and everything these days, not really caring whether it's interesting or particularly relevant; there're many people on the "for" side of these pages whose argument is solely that they're within the technical guidelines. Not an especially compelling reason, really... but I'm getting off topic. I'd like to hear about your idea some more. -{{User:YK/sig}} 01:00, 11 May 2010 (UTC)
::The problem is that often articles aren't known if they'll be worth having until they develop some content, true, there are cases where you can tell just by the name that, say, "times homestar has said the word 'then'" won't make a good article. I therefore propose a 3 step process. First, a page in the HRWiki namespace where ideas for articles can be discussed. If it's agreed upfront to be a good idea, the article can skip the intermediate steps and be made immediately in the main namespace. The second step for an iffy article that needs time to develop, is to be made as a subpage of the new article discussions page, out of the way of the main namespace, until it is either approved or rejected. The third step is, obviously, if it is approved, it's moved into the main namespace, and if it's rejected, it ends up in deleto city. If we implement this, it might even be a good idea to disable page creation in the main namespace for regular users, and have the "you cannot create pages" message include a link to the new article discussion page, at least at first, so that people get the message. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 10:05, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
:::While I think this is a good idea for the purposes of running gags and inside jokes, I don't want to sit around and wait for one of my [[User:Super Martyo Brother/tab project|tablature pages]] to clear committee. If we implement this somehow, I don't think we should turn off page creation for normal users (unless someone wants to promote me to temporary sysop, but that seems impractical, and also, I would ideally not be the only one working on tabs). --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 08:04, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

== Deletion categories ==

We need to clean out [[:Category:Articles for Discussion]], [[:Category:Pages for Discussion]], and [[:Category:Pages for Speedy Deletion]]. Some pages have been in those categories for nearly a whole year. Can we please clean them out? {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 07:14, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

::RickyTommy, we keep telling you not to police the wiki because you're overdoing it. Please stop telling people what they should do. I mean it.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 07:24, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
:::I didn't tell anyone what they should do. I was just pointing out those categories and the lack of attention they're getting. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 07:31, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
::::Ah, I must have misunderstood "We need to clean out..." as saying that we need to clean out these categories.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 07:54, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
:::::Yes, maybe I was a bit rude when I said that, but I'm unable to clean out those categories myself, as some of the articles probably have consensus to delete. <s>PS. Should we make a page like Wikipedia's Articles for Deletion page, and give pages a limited time (like a week, just like at Wikipedia) to be discussed?</s> Never mind, with the lack of users using this Wiki at present, such a page wouldn't work that good. Anyway, should we start cleaning out those categories? {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 06:13, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
::::::And this topic just dies down. I really don't want those articles to stay like that forever. Again, can we please clean the categories out? {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 07:03, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
:::::::I agree that the category should be cleaned out. It's been eight years! {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 17:22, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

== Autosummary for replies? ==

Could we have an automatic summary for replies on talk pages? Who knows how many countless hours everyone has spent typing "reply" and variations thereof. Considering that that's more of a custom than a standard, I guess it might be a little unnecessary, but if it would be easy to do [[technology#Transcript|I'll be your best friend]]. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 18:44, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
:I don't think so. In [[User:It's dot com|Dot com]]'s case, he usually puts a general summary of what he said in the description. I usually try to do it too. Really I don't think it's necessary to have it and it would be more of a nuisance than a convenience to have it done automagically. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 19:19, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
I don't think the system could reasonably be expected to distinguish between bona-fide replies and other kinds of edits. Even in the most clear-cut case (text is added at the end of a section on a new line; no text is changed or removed; the text begins with one more colon than the previous line and ends with a four tildes for a signature), I still don't think I'd want the system making assumptions. Given how easy it is to navigate to the summary field, type "reply", and submit the form (without even using the mouse), the "countless hours" argument rings hollow for me. Sorry. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:16, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
:I'd also point out that the system DOES automatically put the name of the section in. If you don't make an edit summary, as I'm purposely leaving one out of this particular edit, it's generally assumed anyway to be a reply. I mean, come on, you probably saw this edit and thought it was a reply, right? Right? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:11, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

== Licensing drop-down list ==

Could a sysop or admin kindly populate [[MediaWiki:Licenses]] with the [[:Category:Image copyright tags|image copyright tags]] that have been created over the past few years? It would aid in choosing {{p|l={{fullurl:File:aquashot.png|diff=prev&oldid=717137}} the right license when uploading}}. Please and thanks, {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig|nodash=nodash}} 22:07, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

:::I set the table row color by status -- green=pending, grey=no action. {{User:LobStoR/sig}} 20:29, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

== Use of <code>id</code> in templates ==
As work was being done on [[sightings]] pages, I noticed that {{t|sightingslanguagewarning}} makes use of the <code>id</code> attribute for its box. Its value, which references another template that has the same thing, is "<code>[[Template:inprogress|inprogress]]</code>". The <code>id</code> attribute is, in part, the replacement for the <code>name</code> attribute, which creates an anchor: a "link" to a specific part of the page.

Two <code>id</code>s can never be the same on a page, as stated in this sentence from [http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_8 section C.8 of the XHTML 1.0 specification]:

<blockquote>The values of these attributes must be unique within the document, valid, and any references to these fragment identifiers (both internal and external) must be updated should the values be changed during conversion.</blockquote>

If a value for <code>id</code> is used more than once, it will invalidate the page, [http://validator.w3.org/check?uri={{urlencode:{{fullurl:HRWiki:Sandbox|oldid=731671}}|query}}&group=1 as demonstrated in this link] ({{p|l={{fullurl:HRWiki:Sandbox|oldid=731671&action=edit}} here's the code}}). Three errors are from multiple occurrences of the same <code>id</code> value. The remaining five demonstrate that there is a format to be followed, and an invalid format throw an error. In this example, headings that start with a number or special character generate invalid <code>id</code> values (see C.8). This is something MediaWiki does and it's practically out of our control. Note that headings with the same name are handled by MediaWiki to an extent.

Looking through [[MediaWiki:Common.css]] and [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css]], the only selection by <code>id</code> that's of concern is <code>#navbox</code>. However, those style rules are also applied to the class <code>navbox</code>, and I believe that most if not all navigation templates get their styles from using the <code>class</code> attribute.

Lastly, if this rant seems familiar, I did go on about [[HRWiki talk:Standards#ids|the use of this attribute on table rows]] a year and so ago.

''In summary'', I wish to recommend that users be cautious as to add <code>id</code> attributes to templates, or anything that may be used more than once on a page, and, likewise, using this attribute to apply styles. In addition, I wish to recommend that users who see an <code>id</code> attribute causing a ruckus resolve it in some manner or remove it. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 21:09, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

== Dropdown Menu Support ==

Will the HRWiki be compatible with dropdown menus sometime? Purple Wrench has a great idea for a restyling of the @StrongBadActual page, but a dropdown menu that would allow him to compact all the transcripts would benefit the page greatly. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 03:54, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
:To generalize, having '''''any''''' sort of hide/show functionality for a section of text would help. In addition, the page (both as it appears now ''and'' if my redesign is used instead) will appear broken unless the issues regarding automatic resizing of gifs are sorted out. I am aware that both of these tasks are not trivial, but they would be necessary for a page that has the potential to grow very quickly and be populated with gifs. --{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 12:28, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

== Personal info of real persons ==

I did a little digging and couldn't find anything on this subject (if anyone knows where we've talked about it before, please link to it here). Lately there's been an uptick of personal information on articles about real people that seems a little... over the line. I can't say for sure because to my knowledge we've never actually defined a line (other than limiting certain information about minors). So what should the line be? Obviously anything mentioned directly on the official site is fair game, but thus far we haven't limited ourselves to that. We include information from interviews and the like. That said, just because a scrap of data can be found on an obscure website somewhere doesn't automatically mean it should be here. This is a bit unfocused, so I think I'll stop talking and open the floor for others' thoughts and concerns. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:03, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
:There's all sorts of information about practically everyone in the world which really ought to be private information, which most people would probably prefer if it would remain private information, but which, because of the age we live is, is now easily accessible to anyone on the internet. I think that the natural cutoff point here is probably that anything which has been deliberately publicized in relation to The Family Chaps's creative endeavors is fine, but that out of respect to their privacy, information from any other source which is not directly linked to their public lives as writers/producers should be off-limits. Practically, that would mean that we should avoid making use of things like phonebook databases, people search services, background check engines, etc. On the other hand, any information from the toons, DVD commentaries, interviews, press releases, Strong Bad's social network accounts, TBC's other projects, and even databases like IMDB which are specifically geared toward the video entertainment industry ought to be fair game. I think it's only common decency to say that we don't publish any information that TBC themselves haven't already indicated is intended to be in the public eye. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:43, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
:::Please excuse my brevity, but I wholly agree with Defender's definition of "the line". Just because information can be found doesn't mean it should all be published. In addition to that, I believe that a new [[:Category:HRWiki Policy|Policy page]] be created to specifically explain what the line is and why we've drawn it. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 13:31, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

== AFJAOBN ==

I think that [[HRWiki:April Fools' Jokes and Other Baleeted Nonsense]] has run its course. The wiki hasn't done a proper gag in years, and every single "prank" done by users is lame. No offense, but changing your sig and your user page has been ''done''. I get the strong feeling some people come back once a year just so that they can do something that gets posted on that page. I'd really like to lock it, and unless somebody can make an extremely good case for why it needs to stay open, I plan do to so. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:16, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

:::Much as it pains me to do so, I have to agree with Dot com. It was total loads of fun back in the wiki's heyday when we had a lot of active users who would do April Fools' stuff, and then would continue to interact with each other in ways relating to their joke. Now that the wiki is pretty much dead save for a handful of people, that isn't really how it happens anymore. We're basically left with a few edited userpages that no one would even be looking at were it not for the edits being made to them, along with some other disruptive behaviors such as adding nonsense that no one cares about to talk pages that no one has looked at in years. At this point, it's all just become stale. Sadly, there's not enough of a userbase for it not to be stale. We had a good run, but until and unless TBC start updating weekly again and we get a huge influx of users which causes the wiki to return to its former glory, we need to put Apro Foo Day out to pasture. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 11:33, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

<pre>The April Fools’ Day page has brought so many people joy.
And by “so many”, I mean those few it did not annoy.
And if it’s locked forever, never to be changed again,
Then April’s reemergence of those old users will end.
No more rare appearances of people lost to time,
Like wind caressing crystals in forgotten caves and mines.
The truth is if the page gets its abilities revoked,
That marks the end of The_thing’s twelve year streak of stupid jokes.
And yes I know that certain men would love to see me sad,
I purposely have vexed you for a decade, is that bad?
So, if you must, protect the page and ruin all those dreams
Left gazing into voids of empty memories unseen.</pre> {{User:The thing/sig}} 17:38, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
:Did you even read my comment above? We have no current plans to stop people from doing the stupid stuff they do on April 1.

:::We have five active admins (those who have edited this year), eight inactive admins (those who have edited since 2014), and thirteen admins with practically no chance of ever editing again (those who haven't edited since 2014). That means exactly ''half'' of the admins haven't edited since [[April Fool 2014]]. Seven of them haven't even edited ''this decade''. And the decade is practically over! {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 19:46, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
::::Speaking of inactive sysops, there should probably be a few more sysops to replace the old ones. The last time someone was promoted was in 2007, and that user hasn't edited in over eight years. There are a lot of helpful active users nowadays who could do a lot of good with admin [[privileges|priv-a-le-ges... I guess]]. The wiki might run more smoothly and effectively when there aren't a select few people doing all the important stuff.

== Outdated Chat Clients ==
:''Moved from [[HRWiki talk:FAQ]]''
I know for sure that there's still plenty of buzz going around about Homestar and the gang (Especially with the new sbemail released), but my concern is that not a whole lot of people use IRC anymore, I propose that the Admins make an Official Homestar Runner Wiki Discord Server. This way we can do get together and make editing and sharing thoughts a lot easier (If this already exists, Great! Let's try to make it more known) {{unsigned|DonPianta|19:43, 17 August 2017}}
:I agree. IRC Channels are horribly outdated and this would be a great improvement for Wiki discussion. - {{User:Catjaz63/sig}} 22:31, 3 September 2017 (UTC)
::I agree as well. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 02:18, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
:::Now that the topic has been {{p|l=http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Main_Page&diff=778426&oldid=777799 brought up again}} by an anonny, I still think this is a good idea. I've been on the IRC channel a few times, and it is very inactive. Plus, you can only see messages posted when you are online, whereas with Discord, you can view all messages, making discussions more convenient. This way, you don't have to be online 24/7, and if you exit, you can go back and read messages you've missed. Discord is less outdated and more useful in nearly every way. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 18:51, 3 September 2018 (UTC)
::::Also, this is an especially good idea considering how inactive the forum has been. Discord is a good alternative way to discuss toons and updates, and is practically guaranteed to be more active than the forum, considering how many people use Discord. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 23:37, 14 September 2018 (UTC)

::::::You use that as your excuse for everything. Yes, the wiki is less active than it used to be. So what?

We may not have that many users right now, but the users we ''do'' have would surely appreciate a more convenient way to communicate. Inactivity shouldn't stop us from making a better wiki. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 06:25, 15 September 2018 (UTC)

== Main Page Redesign Notice ==

In just over a week, it will be the two year anniversary of the suggestion to [[HRWiki:Main Page Talk Archive 46#Updated Main Page|redesign the Main Page]]. The [[HRWiki talk:Main page redesign|discussion]] hasn't been very active, and hardly anyone is contributing, despite the fact that this could be one of the largest, most important wiki edits in years. I suggest putting a header over the [[Main Page]], [[Template:recentchangesnotice|recent changes]], or even the [[MediaWiki:sitenotice|entire wiki]]. After all, we did it when we were {{p|l=http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Template:recentchangesnotice&oldid=385175 redesigning the logo}}. Something like this, perhaps:
{| cellpadding=3 class="messagebox" style="margin:auto; background-color: #EEF; color:#000; text-align: center; border: 1px #00F solid; font-size: 90%;" |

::One somewhat related thing I'd like to point out: the new page design includes twitter updates, however tweets have not been regularly updated since around october.

== @StrongBadActual Bot ==

I was thinking, since we have a [[User:XMLbot|bot]] that automatically checks homestarrunner.com's XML files and updates the [[XML Sources]] page, is it possible to do the same thing for [[@StrongBadActual]]? They're usually out of date, and it takes a while to update. After a certain interval of time, the bot could check for new Tweets or replies, and edit the page accordingly. The text, date, ID, and reply username (if applicable) would automatically be added, and fun facts and other information can be added manually. [[twitter:StrongBadActual/status/973217646765277186|Can it work?]] {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 23:44, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

::It certainly would be nice not having to visit Twitter to see Homestar Runner Twitter-exclusive updates. I don't understand coding, but the general idea is to have a bot scanning the @StrongBadActual Twitter feed for updates, read them, and then update the HRWiki with the relevant data in the correct format. Sounds like a tall order. But given the kind of site Twitter is, I'd wonder if such a The Tweetbot would either be shut down by or lucratively financed by Twitter if discovered. You think some type of [[more armies|B4KDØR H4XXØR]] has already written some type of [[Edgar]]ware that can do that sort of thing?

::::I know this is an old discussion, and I don't really spend any time on Twitter at all or know how to use a Twitter bot, but the wiki's Twitter archive pages still aren't being updated regularly.

:Huh? Who thinks that? We certainly don't here on the Wiki. It isn't a subpage of [[Strong Bad Email]] and it is listed on the [[Toons]] page. The only reason it appears on the [[Strong Bad Email]] page is for continuity. Who else in the "world" thinks that it is an actual Strong Bad Email? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]]
::I thought that since it was on the Strong Bad Email page I assumed that everybody on the wiki thought it was an email. Now I understand. Thanks. -[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]

== Homestar's Expenses ==

Under Homestar's Expenses: "It comes out to $8727.07." This isn't on the sheet in the Easter Egg. If this is included, the 'Monthly' protection fees probably should be added in 12 times each, right? [[User:61.51.67.117|61.51.67.117]] 06:17, 24 Feb 2005 (MST)

when the cheat slaps the machine and it says "trogdor", could it be a reference to arthur fonzirelli, the character from happy days who could slap a jukebox and make it play music? --[[User:i know. can you believe it?|ik.cybi?]]

:Ehhhh.... See, this is a good example of why, even before I was active in the Wiki, I used to read the Talk and Stuff pages.

== The cheat joining in with the song ==

I'm sure the cheat joins Strong Bad and Strong Mad when they sing "TROGDOR!!!"

== Trogador ==

I disagree with the recent removal from this page and from [[Trogador]] of the statement that the machine says "Trogador" when Strong Bad kicks it. I most definitely hear the machine say "Trogador". I'm not going to revert, since we've already had enough reversions on this topic today, but I do think we should discuss this change. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:23, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
:I was a little confused as to why all the edits were being reverted too, as I had always been hearing "trog-a-d-or", and it had seemed like a perfectly fine referance. - {{User:The Joe/sig}} 03:27, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
::You guys. It says TROG-A-DOR!! I know it does. I can hear it. The arcade machine is supposed to sound off BECAUSE it's making fun of how it doesn't sound like what it SHOULD SOUND LIKE. Don't you get that? It's supposed to sound like trog-a-dor even though it's spelled Trogdor. These reverts are stupid. IMO.--{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 04:01, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

::''(Edit Conflict)'' The machine definately says "Trogdor" when hit. There's a slight pause in there, maybe "Trog·dor", but not enough that you'd be able to fit a vowel into. However, if I listen hard enough, I can kinda hear how the emphasis at the start of the "o" in "-dor" could be mistaken for a consonant, in which case the /d/ before it could be mistaken for /ə/. Have a look at [http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/7691/trogdoroo4.png this image]. The curvy red line up the top is the extra emphasis added by the slow vibrato (added to make it sound more low quality). The top line of text is what I hear. The bottom line is what I can almost hear if I try really hard and then think "ehh... it almost sounds like something close to that". Basically, the vibrato makes it emphasised in 3 points along the sound... the words go "TROG-doOOooOOor", but could be heard as "TROG-a-DOooOOor". So, in short: it's definately "Trogdor". The intentional low-qualityness of the recording can make it sound like "Trogador" if you listen in a certain way... but it's still "Trogdor". {{User:Phlip/sig}} 04:07, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

:::: Yeah well I still think your wrong. I mean just listen to it....[http://www.angelfire.com/movies/swmidi/trogador.mp3 by clicking here] Because I have an ear for sound, music, etc. And I know there is a syllable in there. --{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 04:16, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

It sounds more like "TEReh-BUH-dor" to me. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 04:21, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

:"Just listen to it"? Do you think I haven't heard it yet? Did I somehow make that graph charting out all the phonemes without allowing the sound to reach my speakers? I also have an "ear for sound, music, etc", and yet mine disagrees with yours. And there's no way it's "TER-eh-BAH-dor"... I have no idea how you could hear that. It's either "Trog-dor" or possibly "Trog-a-dor". However, based on the fact that this discussion is happening at all, I'm willing to let the reference stay on "Trogador", referring the fact that this ''could be heard as'' "Trogador" (as opposed to the "is" it was before)... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 04:31, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

::I'm not trying to insult you. I said "Just listen to it," as in listen to it at a slower speed. You may disagree with me, but I do not see HOW it is/can be just Trogdor. I think TBC MEANT for it to sound like "Trog-a-dor" and when I hear it (especially at a slower speed) I can very much hear the "A"... there are three syllables Trog.. a... dor.. The 20x6 version of Trogdor is called Trogador for a reason. They didn't just happen to make it up so it sounds like what people think they are hearing. They named him that because they intentionally made it sound that way. That's what I think.

As for slowing it down, I did, and I still heard "Trogdor". I just tried it again just now, and still hear "Trogdor", though it could possibly be "Trogd·or", there's a very slight break in there caused by the aformentioned vibrato. But it's still "Trogdor". {{User:Phlip/sig}} 04:45, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

:::Ok ok ok. I understand how STUFF works, thanks for explaining that for me. Yes, this is more opinion than anything, so your right it's not STUFF-able. But at least hear it how I am by listening to this.

::::OK, well in the one you say just "Trogdor", the "dor" is still later, making it like "trog-''{pause}''-dor"... get rid of that pause, starting the "dor" where you would normally say the "a".

I hear '''Trogador'''. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 00:09, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

:I also definitely hear '''Trogador''', but this clearly was not intentional. My theory is that Trogador came about as a character name when TBC realized that the low-quality sound recording sounds like it has the extra syllable. I'm sure there's some logic in thinking that a Japanese version of an American character might be misspelled or otherwise skewed due to the way it sounds phonetically (in 8-bit sound), and that TBC played on that. In any case, it's not a reference until we get a real answer. This'll have to stay at/be added to [[HRWiki:Questions]]. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 00:23, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

::Despite what you think you hear, I seriously doubt that the sound of the machine has anything to do with the character Trogador. Trogador mixes a little bit of Engrish with the fact that most Japanese word alternate consonant and vowel so and native Japense person would naturally add an "a" sound after a consonant. This trait is exagerated by anyone that tries to do an impression of an Asian speaking English. The sound that this machine makes is more of a reference to antiquated technology. I've listened to this many many times now. I agree with dot com, there are only two syllables here so there can't be an "A" in between. The sound is very close to how it would sound it you tried to say Trogdor without opening your mouth (like a vantriliquist does). It muffles the sound and all but eliminates the "d" sound since your tongue isn't hitting the top of your mouth but there is no "ah" sound in between the Trog and Ooor" sound, so if anything other Trogdor, I think Trog·or should go here. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 02:00, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
:::Gosh, no need to make a science about this. Let's just go one way or the other. I say we put "Trog or!" {{User:Theyellowdart/sig}}

As far as your view IRF, I disagree, looking at a wave graph created by a recording (albeit on old technology) from the toon I can't see how it can be just strait Trogdor. I think until we get a real answer from somewhere the best option is to transcribe it (and subtitle it) as "Trog_Dor." The inflection just doesn't mesh with Trogdor as a solid word, there is definately a raised inflection in the middle. I can not agree on any level that it's just saying Trogdor as we would say it (even through outdated technology). Yet while I head Trogador, I don't think it has to be one or the other. So as long as we're conflicted about the actual word, so lets find something that can hold the place that admits that it's not Trogdor as we would say it, but may or may not be Trogador as some of us think. - {{User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C/Sig}} 02:46, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::As I said before, the last time this came around, the "raised inflection in the middle" is an artefact of the vibrato TBC added to the sound, as one of the many things they did to it to make it sound really shoddy quality. The "do-" in "Trogdor" falls at the bottom of the first cycle of the vibrato, then when the vibrato picks up again, it sounds like a raised inflection, but it's just an artefact. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 03:02, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
::::::No, the raise in inflection I speak of is with the OG not the DO. So your theory doesn't answer the question for me. The fact is it does not sound like Trogdor and we would be amiss to not note that. But I've done what research I am easily capable of doing on the subject. So, I'll conclude with what I said before: We don't know what it actually says, so we can just go on what we hear. Obviously, that's different for many (scientifically all) of us and there are a number of people who do hear Trogador (myself included) and that experience cannot be just discounted and tossed aside, for intentional or not there's something there in the minds of many. I will continue to contend that both versions are valid (at least until someone with first hand knowledge gives us the full story, if that ever happens). - {{User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C/Sig}} 03:31, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

:: ooooh, many worlds theory and quantum physics, I love this subject! LOL.

== Getting my practice strapsened ==

I noticed that one of the songs in the [[Thorax Corporation]] directory [http://www.thoraxcorp.com/mp3s/TNY/Remote%20Controlled%20Air%20Conditioning/ TNY/Remote Controlled Air Conditioning] is titled "Straps and Practice". Is this worth noting in any way? {{User:Mee/sig}} 22:28, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

I think this toon is the first time the main basement room with the TV & couch is ID'd as such. Is it worth noting on page? [[User:Guybrush20X6|Guybrush20X6]] 00:22, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

== Homestar's Expenses 2: Electric— waaaaait a minute! ==

Okay, so we have two different fun facts:
*Homestar's total expenditures for one month (as listed) add up to $8727.07.
*In 2002, Homestar paid a total of $18,000 for "protection", as he paid Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat $500 dollars each per month. His other expenditures make up less than 29% of the total $25227.07.
It seems to me that these are both wrong. The page says "Homestar Runner's 2002 Expenditures". Clearly, this is his expenditures for the year, not for a month out of the year. Then we get to the "monthly protection" lines. How exactly do these work? Each of the other entries seems to be for the year, so why are we assuming that 500 gets multiplied by 12 rather than already being the full amount for the year? On the other hand, 41.666666... (500/12) is a weird amount to be charged each month. Basically, it's not clear to me why some entries on this list would be for the year and some would be for each month of the year. Then again, the entire list makes no sense at all to begin with. At face value though, I'd say that it looks like Homestar spent a total of $8727.07 for the year. (I wish I could get by with a yearly budget of under $9000...) {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 08:52, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
:I agree. They are both wrong and the total expenditures for 2002 is $8727.07. -[[Special:Contributions/174.62.238.201|174.62.238.201]] 12:10, 24 May 2019 (UTC)

{{dvd|Everything Else, Volume 1}}

== Transcript ==

''{We start with a familiar scene, the [[Compy 386|Compy]]. Except Strong Bad isn't there, and there's a sticky note on the screen saying "in da basement -sb".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Strong Bad! ''{walks up to the computer}'' Hey Strong Bad, can I borrow your fondue pot again? Oh. You're not here. I'll get to the bottom of this!

''{He sits down at the Compy and starts typing. While he says everything correctly, he misspells "Strong Bad".}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">Dear Stong Bah, 
Where are you? 
Your friend, 
Homestar</blockquote>

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{notices the note}'' Oh! "In da basement. From SB." Ohhh, that must stand for Stong Bah.

''{He stands up and heads for the basement. Upon arriving he finds Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat playing TROGDOR! the arcade game.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey guys! Whatcha playin'?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, playin'? No, we're, uh, we're doing The Cheat's taxes.

'''STRONG MAD:''' W-2!!!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bo-ring. I don't wanna play that.

''{Homestar walks off. The game blips.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Argh! Stupid peasant.

''{He kicks the arcade machine, which says, in a computer voice, "Trogdor!".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Pretty cool! ''{kicks it twice more, with the same results}'' All right, who's next?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, fine.

''{Strong Bad gets off the stool to let The Cheat on, but he just looks at Strong Bad, and makes more noises.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, right. Here ya go, little buddy.

''{He lifts him onto the stool and the theme music begins playing. As soon as it's over...}''

'''STRONG BAD and STRONG MAD:''' TROGDOR!

''{The game says "Trogdor!" and The Cheat begins playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, nice move! You're a master!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down with a link to play the Trogdor arcade game. After a little while, Homestar comes back with a stack of papers.}''

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

== Easter Eggs ==

*If you wait for Homestar to come by and ask them to do his taxes - after he says, "Man, that is one big adding machine" you can click on the [[TROGDOR!]] game to make it say "[[Trogdor]]."
*You can click on the top of Homestar's pile of papers to see his expenses:

<blockquote>Homestar Runner's 
2002 Expenditures 
________________________ 
 
$150 - [[pork]] [[b/w]] [[beans]] 
 
$2,000 - [[witch's brew]] 
 
$4,000 - refinance my [[Homestar Runner's Hat|hat]] 
 
$2.07 - [[Marzipan]] gift 
 
$1,000 - [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows|Fluffypuffs]] 
 
$500 - monthly protection 
to SB 
 
$500 - monthly protection 
to SM 
 
$500 - monthly protection 
to The C. 
 
$75 - straps and practice</blockquote>

:*When you have Homestar's expenses displayed, you can click and hold on the last item in the list "straps and practice" to see a picture of something that looks like a hand-drawn baseball card. It bears a resemblance to the [[Kewpie Dan]] drawing from [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*Strong Mad says "[[Wikipedia:Tax forms in the United States#W-2|W-2]]!", which is an [[Wikipedia:U.S. Internal Revenue Service|IRS]] [[tax]] form.
*An [[wikipedia:Adding machine|adding machine]] is a [[wikipedia:Calculator|calculator]] with a printer.
*Homestar paying Strong Mad, Strong Bad, and The Cheat "monthly protection" suggests that the three are [[Wikipedia:Bagman|bagmen]] for a [[Wikipedia:Protection racket|protection racket]].

=== Trivia ===
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#manhunter new york|manhunter new york]]".
*The top paper in Homestar's stack of papers says "Important Document #402".
*Homestar's total expenditures for one month (as listed) add up to $8727.07.

=== Remarks ===
*On the Monday following [[the show]], there was no new [[Strong Bad Email]]. Instead, there was a post-it note that said "In da Basement". The note included a link to the aformentioned toon short.
*In 2002, Homestar would have paid a total of $18,000 for "protection", if he paid Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat $500 dollars each per month.
*The Cheat plays the game [[Left Handedness|left-handed]].
*Some of the sounds used in this toon are slightly off from their game counterparts. The peasant burnination sound is higher pitched and the squished peasant sound is played faster.
*Strong Bad has two identical stools (one for his [[Strong Bad's Technology#Computers|computer]] and one for the TROGDOR! game.)
*There is a metal plate at the near bottom of the machine, which is used as a door in most arcade machines to protect the coins collected. However, there are no coin slots, and The Cheat did not put in any coins to start a new game. This would indicate that the machine has been set to free play mode, in which coins are not required to start the game.
*"Straps and Practice" is also the name of a song by [[Matt Chapman]]'s band, "The New You".

=== Glitches ===
*At the start, the Compy's contrast knob is there. When Homestar comes in it is missing, but you can click it anyway. It doesn't do anything either time.
*When Strong Bad kicks the arcade machine, the kicking sound effect comes as his leg is pulling back, not as it is hitting the game.
*The clickable area on the "Back" text at the end of the toon extends much farther to the left.

=== Inside References ===
*[[Pork]] [[b/w]] [[beans]] refers to the Strong Bad Email [[helium]], in which [[Marzipan]] and Homestar discuss the subject briefly.
*"Hey Strong Bad, can I borrow your [[Strong Bad's Fondue Pot|fondue pot]] again?" refers to [[50 emails]].
*This is another mention of the [[Witches' Brew]].
*This is another instance of the misspelling [[Stong Bad]].
*Homestar says "Bo-ring" the same way he says it on the [[Legal]] page.

=== Real-World References ===
*The page title "Quite exciting this computer magic" is a quote from the movie ''[[Spinal Tap|This is Spinal Tap]]''. One of the band members (Viv Savage) says it while playing a game similar to [[Wikipedia:Missile Command|Missile Command]] on a TRS-80 Color Computer in the tour bus.

=== Fast Forward ===
*Cans of "pork b/w beans" would later be seen in the Strong Bad Email [[business trip]].

== DVD Version ==
*The expenses and "straps & practice" Easter eggs are now viewable separately from each other by pushing the angle button on your remote.
*Instead of clicking on the arcade machine to make it say "Trogdor!", after Homestar comments on it being a big adding machine, the "Trogdor!" sound plays automatically once.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh really? ''{holding back laughter}'' Never would have guessed you weren't from around here. Lessee here, what's the best way to answer this one...

''{begins typing, with subtitles included. Synthesized European music starts playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' For Viklas. Hi? ''{Sup, Viklas?}''

1. Prehaps! I'm've was to make football often times. ''{I love football. It's the best.}'' Play? Know. ''{Oh, wait. Are you asking about soccer?}'' Best football results twice again. ''{I hate soccer. It's the worst.}''

<div style="padding-left:200px;background:none;border:none">Viklas, You can do better than this. See me after class.</div></blockquote>

===Explanations===
*"Stark Dålig", which is pronounced something like "Stork Duhleeg", means "Strong Bad" in Swedish. But "dålig" doesn't mean "bad" as in "cruel", but rather "of poor quality". A more correct Swedish version of Strong Bad's name would be "Stark Elak".
*Strong Bad says, "Oh wait, are you asking about soccer?" because throughout most of the world [[Wikipedia:Association football|association football]] (soccer) is [[Wikipedia:Names for association football#Football|called football]] and what is known as [[Wikipedia:American football|football]] in America is [[Wikipedia:Football (word)|called American football]].
*"Width times height" is the formula for finding the area of a rectangle.
*The word "very" is spelled as "wery" because in Swedish, the letter W is pronounced like the English letter V.
*Some of the odd English phrases in the letter are really word-for-word translations of good Swedish. For example, "seen out" is a literal translation of the Swedish expression "såg ut," which means "looked" (as in "appeared"). Likewise, "came's to seen out" is more or less word-for-word for "kommer att se ut", which is more appropriately rendered "will look" in English.
===Trivia===
*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Strong Bad answers questions from Sweden."

===Remarks===
*The "back" button in the Easter egg has a Swedish/pan-European makeover (bäçk), which would be pronounced something like "besk." (The letter ç is not used in written Swedish.)
*At the end of the email, Viklas got five points off for every mistake on his paper, and therefore got a 45%.
*Viklas is not a common Swedish name.

===Inside References===
*"I think I has the solution" is a reference to one of [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]]'s lines from [[In Search of the Yello Dello]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Swedish fish|Swedish Fish]] are a popular variety of gummy candy which originated in Sweden and were developed specifically for the North American market.
*The music that plays in the Easter egg is identical to the opening of the [[Wikipedia:VeggieTales|''VeggieTales'']] theme song.

===Fast Forward===
*The synthesizer music would later be added to [[Dancin' Bubs]].
*Viklas would be seen as a card in a poker game in an Easter egg in [[pom pom]].
*Strong Bad as a baby would eventually be shown in [[record book]] and [[highschool]].

== DVD Version ==
*The two Easter eggs are now separate from each other, though still accessible. For the dancing Swedish flag, select the hidden Strong Bad head at the bottom left of the Compy 386's screen, while for Strong Badia accepting Swedish goods, select the hidden Strong Bad head at the bottom of the graded paper.

==Quotes==
I'm not happy with the "Homsar Quotes" section. It's not uniform, it's not objective and it's not needed. Who's with me? --[[User:Upsilon|Upsilon]]

Not me- I think all main characters should have it, especially Homsar! -- [[User:Asploder|Asploder]]

There. Deleted Homsar Quotes, got rid of all the quotes on his page. He already has his own little section in Quotes. He isn't ''that'' special. He needs only one page of quotes, just like everyone else. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]-[[User_Talk:FireBird|Talk]]

Do we realy need the MSN Orbit page of the guy who emailed Strong Bad? It doesn't even mantion Homsar!

This does need re-writing, it says that "Hi, Wonder Mike!" is "One of the few references to pop culture on H*R", when the whole freaking site references pop culture! Please delete that line, someone, it is really bugging me.

== A Song From The Sixties? ==

Can anyone come up with song references from Homsar's speeches? 'Gravy train' could be a reference to Pink Floyd's 'Have a Cigar' but maybe it's just some of his home-spun wisdom. Also, not a direct quote, but 'a million ladies tall' feels sort of like 'half a century high' ala Phil Ochs. Just some random stabs here, it seemed a lot more cohesive in my mind.
:"Gravy Train" is a common phrase meaning getting a lot of money (or something along those lines. Also, Have a Cigar was written in 1975, so it's clearly not a song from the sixties.

== A Hypothesis About Homsar's Behavior ==

I have a hypothesis concerning why Homsar behaves the way he does.

I believe that Homsar was drafted and sent to Vietnam in the late sixties ("I'm a song from the sixties." could be a reference to this because many songs in the sixties were about the war in Vietnam) and there he witnessed some horrible things that resulted in a dreadful case of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). To escape his flashbacks after retuning home he began taking copious amounts of LSD and rapidly became psychologically dependant on it. After a decade or so of this heavy use, Homsar cleaned himself up; but the side effects from the long-term LSD use compounded by his PTSD cause him to be detached from reality much to this day in the form of incorrect visual identification of objects, mental incongruity, and flashbacks to Vietnam (explaining Homsar's frequent screaming episodes).

Some might argue with me about my analysis, saying that Homsar is simply retarded. I admit to you that this might be tempting to say, but if he were truly retarded many of the pop culture references Homsar makes would be near impossible because most forms of retardation limit the individual's vocabulary for such things; and furthermore, retardation does not often result in rampant grammatical structure disjunction and word misapplication, as seen in Homsar's case, especially when compared to the symptoms seen in long-term LSD ex-users.

::Exactly. Interesting hypothesis, but it's a freakin' cartoon!

Course homsar could be based on a figure in the Brother's Chap's life that had those same syndroms.
Wedge Antilles

Interesting but unlikely. Homsar is just the standard gibberish-spouting idiot that all cartoons have. [[User:The_Pardack|The_Pardack]]

Wow. You really must have thought this out. If people look at this page, they can marvel at it. -Alice

I'm a be an agree: This is pretty unlikely. You sure did spend some good thinking time on it, though. What, did you get bored during math class? :) --[[User:65.31.46.157|65.31.46.157]] 23:15, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

Wow, you've got too much time on your hands man, it's a cartoon for pete's sake. Besides, this isn't all too likely. He's probably just really weird, I know a dude who acts pretty similar to him in real life. -Ryan

Come on, guys. It's obvious. He's actually a genius that's just trying to hide his true identity by making himself look like a complete moron. It's that simple. -Neverending Soda

My theory is that the head trauma he suffered from the weight dropping on his head gave him some sort of weird amnesiac condition. Check out my full theory [[Wikipedia:Talk:Homsar|here]]! I command you! --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 09:14, 6 Jul 2005 (UTC)

You're all wrong, Homsar has schizophrenia! --[[User:Cocoa|Cocoa]]

Look, cut the guy some slack. This is a discussion page on an obscure article in the Homestar Runner Wiki - clearly, everyone here has too much time on their hands. Kudos on coming up with a plausible theory, Eli. --[[User:mayosolo|mayosolo]] 04:08, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:I'll second this sentiment. Nobody who chats about or looks up Homsar in a fansite wiki, for goodness sakes, has a right to talk! Besides, Homsar is an enigma, floating between the intelligible and the random, like a dream. I say he is a being of great power for this. Regardless, he begs this sort of exploration! -Shufei

You got it all wrong. Homsar is a jar of mayonase from the sixties that got left out next to the TV (hense the constant references to old shows) and witnessed the goings on of the kitchen (thus being raised by a cup of coffee). The mayo spoiled and some odd bacteria gegan to grow on it, eventualy evolving into a half-sentient being that can walk and talk, albeit strangely. Given a few centuries, he may hope to attain Homestar's level of inteligence. --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 13:54, 21 Jul 2005 (PDT)

*I like the mayonaisse theory, but I consider Homsar to be the same thing that Homestar is. Whatever that is, they apparently seem to be the same creature. That's kind of like Superman and that oddball supervillian that was also from Krypton.

I agree about the Heavy Lourde being Homsar's problem, but I believe it's just brain and/or spinal cord damage, considering it fell on his head.
-Mortacai

I Think The [[Heavy Lourde|Lourde]] Caused It, Too. It Fell Right On Top Of Him And Gave Hm A Serious Body Blow. He Still [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0|Couldn't Feel His Legs]] After Four Months! I'm Surprised It Didn't [[stunt double|Screw Up]] Strong Sad. -{{User:Homsar7/sig}}

If something actually caused Homsar to become nonsensical, it would probably have been the [[Heavy Lourde]]. I kind of doubt [[TBC]] would have such a complicated reason for it; he either suffered brain damage from the Lourde, or he's just your standard insane cartoon character. [[User:74.119.26.14|74.119.26.14]] 20:06, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah. Or maybe he's just a born idiot. Ever think about that? Or maybe he escaped from an insane asylum. Also, you wouldn't be that smart if you were raised by a cup of coffee! [[User:Andtrogdorcomesinthenight|AND TROGDOR COMES IN THE NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!]] 18:16, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

I'll bet there are hundreds of possible explanations for homsar, if you really want to try to think of them. There should really be some kinda contest on that.
[[User:The Big Eye|The Big Eye]] 01:42, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Its really that Homsar is an exaggerated homestar. Homestar has a poor grasp of reality, and Homsar has amost no grasp of reality. This also explains his accent and looks.

That theory must have taken a lot of time and I wouldn't be able ti come up with one like that. It's complicated but make sense and I think it's true. {{unsigned|71.201.63.185|22:32, 12 March 2008}}
i agree with Eli Mann --[[User:Joemll|joe aka joemll]] 16:27, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

homsar perfectly fits as being severely autistic, i have dealt with people like that, he fits the behavior patterns well
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism

It seems fairly likely that Homsar is in reality a super-intelligent, super-powerful, multi-dimensional being who simply appears imcomprehensible to people in our dimension, somewhat like the Superman villain Mr. Mxyzptlk. This interpretation seems reasonable, given his portrayal in Strong Badia the Free and his numerous superhuman abilities.

My theory is that Homsar actually has several people living inside of him and everything he says is something that one of these people tell him to say. They can't hear very well (since they're inside of Homesar) so whatever comes out doesn't make much sense.

What about strong Bad's insight in Strong Badia the Free? When he uses the pylon-thing and he can understand Homsar? No disorder or drug causes that. However, trying to understand how that happened would be as hard as ^this argument. Putting so much thought into a character so unlikely to have the complex backstory required to allow the viewer to understand him like you are trying to is a waste of time. Read H*R's FAQ. They don't care much about inconsistencies. The only time they ever put things together in a cartoon was in DNA Evidence. {{User:NighttimeDriver50000/sig}} 22:11, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

== homsar.com ==

I don't think this should be listed as "may or may not be by the Brothers Chaps". I checked it out on archive.org, and until February of last year it was a blog site entitled "Home Of My Stories And Rants". I wouldn't be surprised if they shut down after they got a lot of misdirected attention from their name, which would explain why the site now just says "go away"

:I've removed this from the article. A [http://www.whois.sc/homsar.com quick WHOIS] confirms it clearly isn't The Brothers Chaps.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:16, 6 Feb 2005 (MST)

* We're not shut down, we just took a different direction. -John from homsar.com

== Sensical Stuffs ==

I think this page should have a list of all the stuff Homsar's said that makes sense, like "Uh, yeah, what eeys eet, Strong Bay-ad?" and "I do as ah'm told." for example. What do you guys think? [[User:Poopsmith Z|Poopsmith Z]]
* No, I don't. It's arguable if what much of Homsar says makes sense (For instance, I think "I do as I'm told" is just Homsarish gibberish despite the fact that it makes some sense in context), and this isn't a page for Homsar quotes—aside from his character transcript (which EVERY character has) this is just a biography page. --[[User:Jay|''Jay'']] [[User talk:Jay|(Talk)]] 17:23, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I'd go with a merge, except I disagree that it "has a mind of its own," because it always seems to follow a particular logic to its flight paths (or orbit) from and back to Homsar's head. I think it usually "takes flight" when Homsar is trying to emphasize something, which is pretty much every time he says anything. Anyway, the hat is an integral part of the character, but probably doesn't need its own page. [[User:Thesmokingmonkey|The Smoking Monkey]] 17:43, 23 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Oh, come on! Homsar's hat deserves 12 pages! Homsar himself deserves his own wiki!

I sincerely think that this page must not be deleted! This is Homsar's Hat! I mean, the fact that the hat goes flying everywhere is so cool! If an item on Homestar runner has been shown once, and then never even mentioned again, there is no need to even post it! However, Homsar's Hat has been shown with Homsar every single time he is seen on the site! Taking a page about Homsar's hat off this site is like taking Homsar's hat away from him on the official site!

== Examples in Biography? ==

Okay, this is coming up fairly consistently in the Biography, so I wanted to pose a question to the people who run the show around here: Do we need specific examples of oddness in interacting with Homsar in his biography? For example, is it appropriate to point out that Homsar called Strong Sad "That Rhinoceros", and quoting Strong Bad's comment about Homsar in [[interview]]?

:I think the [[Nicknames|nickname]] could be found on the page that follows its name. As for the latter, I don't think we need mention that. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 00:04, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

::::Well, to answer your specific question, I don't see what harm that info is doing, and it adds a little color. You should probably wait till you get a few replies before considering a question answered. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:09, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

:::::Huh... so much for consistency. I remember making several edits similar to that in different articles, and most of them were reverted immediately. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 00:12, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

:::::I guess more importantly, I've seen a lot of similar edits get reverted for one reason or another. My reason for changing the line about "That Rhinoceros" was to clarify that Homsar SOMETIMES does refer to other characters by their real names, and I felt the best way to write that was to say "He refers to other characters by random nicknames from time to time". Also, the "conversations" example seemed redundant and unnecessary to me, and like I said, I've seen things like that get zapped pretty consistently in the past. That's why I brought this up. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 00:16, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

::::::I'm not sure the version of the page I reverted to is the best one. All I'm saying is that, as long as you've asked for input, you should give people a chance to respond. It might turn out that more people want that stuff gone than want it kept. Consistency is a tricky thing around here, because it all depends on what you ask and, probably more importantly, when you ask and ''whom'' you ask. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

:::::::::Wow. I just listened to that, and Homsar was so... ''normal'' sounding. Weird.

::::::::::Wow. All this discussion because I put examples in Homsar's Biography? Trippy. I just thought it would be nice to have some specific times he is being strange rather than just stating it. Just saying someone is wierd isn't nearly as effective as citing examples, but that's just my opinion. In response to It's Dot Com, yeah, Homsar does sound way too normal in that answering machine. He's almost...intelligable. Freaky. Anyway, just stating my reasons. thanks! {{User:Houdin654jeff/sig}} 01:24, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

== Nonsense Incarnate ==

Just opening this thread to discuss the phrase "Nonsense incarnate" (Homsar is nonsense incarnate). My understanding is that "Person is X incarnate" is grammatically correct, and that it means the concept X is embodied in Person. The most common real-life use of this phrasing I'm aware of is "Person is the Devil incarnate" - usually to refer to an unruly child, a particularly heinous criminal, etc. I have, however, NEVER heard the phrase "Person is the Devil incarnated" (past-tense). Anyone wanna discuss this? {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 05:23, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

:::::Being "the Devil incarnate" means you are the incarnation - that is, the human representation - of the Devil. That's the real meaning of "incarnate". To be "nonsense incarnate" means you are the flesh-version of nonsense. That is nonsense itself, clearly. Nonsense is not some entity which can take human form. There is plenty of nonsense in the H*R universe that is not embodied in Homsar, so calling him "nonsense incarnate" is somewhat of a misnomer. That said, there is a (weak) argument that the "stock phrase" can be stretched to include such non-standard things as "nonsense" in the "X incarnate" construction, but as a knowledge base I'd submit we do not want to traverse that particular path. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:09, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

::Nope; it's not so much an accent as a "voice," in the way that all H*R characters have distinctive voices.

:Oh, a few months ago we had a few people who went around constantly changing the captions on the pages, so we had to keep changing it back. Hence, revert war. We could probably take it down now, but whatever. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::What kinda things were they changing it too? {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 23:51, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Well, with Homsar, you know how it is. Everyone has their favourite Homsar quote. They kept changing it between 'Captain of the Gravy Train' to something else and back again. Eventually, they settled on a non-quote caption and added the little message. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Caption ==

Anyone else notice the caption used on the pic on this page is one of the things Homsar never actually said? He may not have been raised by a cup of coffee. But he is the captain of the gravy train. Well, that's why I'm editing the caption. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:51, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
:Well, someone changed it after you edited it. I set it to be the same as the slogan on his T-shirt (the cup of coffee). I have a bigger question, though: Why does his caption have to be static? He has a lot of good ones. What difference would it really make if we changed it once a week? Some pages get edited a lot more often than that. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:35, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

::Edit wars. Before the comment, several times a day the caption was changed. We don't want it again. And who shall get to decide what to change it to every week?

== Speculation? ==

A new section called "Analysis of Homsar's Character" was recently added to this page. While I'm duly impressed that someone took the trouble to write this analysis, the section seems to me to be speculatory and non-encyclopedic. I didn't feel right just removing it without getting others' opinions, though. What do you all think? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:27, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

:I'm not sure either way. Yes, it is speculative, but we've allowed speculation in smaller doses elsewhere, like sbemail fun facts. And the preponderance of the preceding text paints him out to be a "little weirdo" so the few inches taken up proposing he might actually be a savant genius isn't so intrusive.

:Again, I'm not sure, but I don't think it's so bad it should be deleted. STUFF'ed, maybe. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:31, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
::Just one little note: STUFFing is only for Fun Facts. Discussions about other contents of pages usually takes place on talk pages, like is happening now. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:36, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

I liked it, but now I see it is just another one of the theories about Homsar. I say delete if you say delete. {{User:Salty/sig}} 04:57, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
:I got rid of it. It was uncohesive, largely speculative, and didn't really make a whole lot of sense. Plus the small bits of the section that ''were'' legitimate and plausible were already covered at different places on the page. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 06:13, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

== Psychokinesis ==

"Support for this theory is not only the fact that Homsar's hat floats whenever he speaks, but that it can float even when he isn't. "
This sentence seems very odd to me. I fully support all of the armless characters' psychokinesis (as opposed to invisible arms) but I don't see this sentence supporting it. What does it matter that his hat floats both when he is and isn't talking? [[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]
:I strongly disagree with psychokinesis. As just proved in [[DNA Evidence]], Homestar has invisible arms. I think the same about Homsar.--[[User:Brad|Brad]] 22:29, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

== Word Salads ==

Since I couldn't find the place where we discussed this previously, I'll bring it up again here. I have an issue with the Speech section stating that Homsar speaks in "word salads". The description of word salad in that section is totally correct, but I don't think it applies to Homsar's general speech. The only time I've seen word salads connected with Homsar has been in [[interview]], where Strong Bad was basically mocking Homsar with a pen puppet. "DaAa, Rightio. I think I can twice" is probably the best word salad on the site, and that was Strong Bad making that up, not Homsar actually saying it.

Generally speaking, Homsar's statements are less gibberish and more out-of-context. Aside from his first two appearances ([[homsar]] and [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0]]), virtually everything he's said has made some sort of sense, but it's rare that two sentences relate to each other, or that a statement to another character matches the context of what the other character said. This isn't quite "word salad", however.

Not sure what my ultimate point with this Talk topic is, but I figured I'd bring it up anyway. :) T'would be the pride of the peaches, I'm sure. :) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 23:54, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

:The first mention I can find of it in the article is in [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Homsar&diff=76749&oldid=75741 this edit] from 2 May 2005. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 00:04, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

::Right. My point, though, is that Homsar does make SOME sense in some cases, whereas he doesn't in others. An example: "Hi Strong Bayad! Is that rhinoceros around?" in [[interview]] - Homsar was looking for Strong Sad, so his question makes sense. His next statement, "I'm a song from the sixties", makes no sense at all in that context, and that could qualify as a word salad. As another example, though, "You gotta get yours, I gotta get mine!" in [[army]], could be a perfectly reasonable response to Homestar's call to action.

::So, to say that he speaks frequently or entirely in word salads would be incorrect, IMO - in fact, I think he tends to just have a funny way of saying things most of the time, and he uses word salads only every now and then. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:14, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

:::Note that Wikipedia mentions Homsar on both the [[Wikipedia:Word salad (mental health)|article]] and [[Wikipedia:Talk:Word salad (mental health)|talk page]] about word salads. I bring this up not to suggest that we necessarily follow their article, just that we take into account what they have to say and, if anything big is decided from this discussion, that the appropriate comments and/or changes be made there too. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:48, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

::::[[Analysis of Homsar's Speech Patterns|I've done a detailed analysis]] on Homsar's speech patterns, and I think I've conclusively proven that Homsar does not suffer (much) from word salad. In fact, he's actually quite coherent most of the time. It seems that if he needs to, he can and does relate well to his environment, but when he doesn't need to, he's prone to saying random things - if for no other reason than just to have something to say.

::::What's everyone's opinion on posting this analysis as an official article, or posting it to this Talk page, so we can link to it from the main Homsar article without it linking to my user space? {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 07:50, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

== Mom and Dad ==

In the DVD version of the Theme Sone Video, Homsar appears on the line ''"Homestar Runner '''Mom and Dad'''"''. Could this be a hint that Homsar is Homestar's father? I doubt it, but it's just a little point. [[User:Strong Sader|Strong Sader]] 22:44, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
:And he's not in the original version, because he hadn't been thought up. I think it's such a big stretch that the cats are jealous, myself. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:16, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

:::Back up a bit. The song was written WAY before the DVD video. The lyrics make sense, "Mom and Dad" are important to young kids, which Homestar is (mentally). Later, Homsar is added to the video.

== The Homsar Runner ==
Is it just me,or does Homsar seem to be [[The Homestar Runner]]?
He resembles him quite a bit
-not-in-same-direction legs
-Shortness
-Head area
He seems to be a bit older than the others(I personally think of him as the confused old guy type)
THR seems to not be that old in his filmography,so thee Old Timeys(Scratch OTB and Sickly Sam) could still have live.

:This is what we call "stretching it" or, more descriptively, scouring the truth, and even your own opinions, for "the truth within the truth". In summarization, there's about a 99.9% chance that no, Homsar and The Homestar Runner have no relation to each other, other than Homsar is a misspelled-spinoff off of Homestar Runner, who is The Homestar Runner's present-day counterpart. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 22:33, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Maybe Homsar's like, a sixties version of Homestar runner. Called Homsar Runner. I mean, 1936 and 1996 have a long time in between, long enough for an additional character.

-edit- A side note on this, Homsar originated from a StrongBad email in which someone misspelled Homestar. The sentence was as follows "Dear Strong Bad, If you hate Homsar so much why don't you just kill him?", in which they proceeded to a clip of a new charater called Homsar with a striking resmblence to Homestar Runner, with obvious differences. He was created as a joke on a fan's spelling and just stuck with the cast.

Also in the old timey cartoons the character is an old black and white version of Homester Runner, not Homsar.

== Word Salads ==

In the article it says homsar does not have schizophrenia due to the fact he speaks in incorrect grammar. However varying degrees of schizophrenia can cause improper grammar as well.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_salad_%28mental_health%29

{{unsigned|69.40.117.97|23:22, 23 November 2006}}

:I might be misinterpreting your comment, but the article doesn't say that at all. The [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Homsar&oldid=385823 current version of the article] states:<blockquote>Many believe that Homsar speaks in [[Wikipedia:Word salad (mental health)|word salads]] (a speech disorder characteristic of [[Wikipedia:Schizophrenia|schizophrenia]] in which grammar and sentence structure is intact, but the words have no particular meaning), but a [[Analysis of Homsar's Speech Patterns|detailed analysis of his speech patterns]] has shown that this is seldom the case. Instead, it seems that Homsar can and does relate well to his environment and other characters when he needs to, but is also prone to saying completely random things when there's no particular reason for him to stay in context.</blockquote>
:The article doesn't make any assertion as to Homsar having or not having schizophrenia. It just says that word salads can be a characteristic of schizophrenia. It also says that our research shows he seldom speaks in word salads. It also links to the same Wikipedia article you cited here.
:What exactly do you mean? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 23:39, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

::It says "Many believe that Homsar speaks in Word salad... in which grammar and sentence structure is intact..." word salads do not have to have correct grammar. Btw, I noticed there is another topic called word salad, should this be merged with it or what?

::{{unsigned|69.40.117.97|5:16, 25 November 2006}}

== "Reggie" ==

From the page:

Homsar often assigns the other characters, including himself, strange names. This could be because he has forgotten their real names, is confused, or disregards their real names. These "names" are sometimes based on the character's appearance (Strong Sad: That Rhinoceros) or a similar-sounding name (Bubs: Tubbs). '''Others (Strong Bad: Reggie) just don't make much sense.'''

Calling Strong Bad Reggie makes decent sense, although it's a bit of a stretch. Strong Bad is highly self-centered, believing that all ladies naturally love him, and that he is naturally popular. He also lies to make people be impressed with him. Reggie Mantle, from Archie Comics, is also highly self-centered, loving himself more than he loves women, carrying a mirror around with him so he can admire himself, buying expensive cars to be popular - so connecting Strong Bad to Reggie Mantle makes a relative degree of sense.
:It's speculation to assume this, though, which is why it's not included in either article. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 09:10, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Both comics have a similar cast with two main opposed male characters, one dumb and happy go lucky (Homestar / Archie), and one vain and continually pulling pranks (Strong Bad / Reggie). I guess that would make Homesar Jughead on acid?

Everybody!!!!Everybody!!!! That makes a whole lot of sense, but dont you think "Rhinocereous" and "Reggie" are kinda related. "Reggie the Rhinocereous"... i think i heard something like that when i was three for a bed time story or something... -smartkidhen

Reggie probably refers to the particular red monster from Number Munchers. It has some resemblance to Strong Bad's red mask. Monsters in Number Munchers are are called Troggles, and the red monster Reggie is the most common. That's all i remember from elementary school computer lab. Haha wow. Search Google images to see. Now I hope I've contributed my little bit to our scientific understanding of Homestarrunner.com

== Homsar's Language ==

This page desperately needs a rewrite. All the bits about the word salads and random phrases especially need to be thrown out,
since Strongbadia the Free revealed that Homsar ''isn't'' speaking nonsense, but merely a language that is comprised of seemingly random english words. Any references to this character being a dullard or a nincompoop should be removed as well, since Strong Bad actually held an intelligent conversation with Homsar. {{unsigned|209.62.199.78|20:45, 19 September 2008 (UTC)}}

:It's clear that this is a one time gag unique to this game only. [[User:Dwedit|Dwedit]] 21:36, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

That "one time gag" was written with full support from the Chapman brothers. Are you saying that the games aren't canon?
If it was supposed to be intended as a one time gag, they wouldn't have bothered undoing the effects of the pylon, would they?
Strong Bad could continue to understand Homsar, and everything fine because the games exist outside the cartoon's continuity, right?
WRONG.

::It still needs to rewritten, even though nobody will again be able to understand him, because it was revealed that he indeed is NOT speaking nonsence. If you want a clearer explaination, I suggest reading the comment made by 209.62.199.78 above. (In short, you're just not paying attention.) Seriously, this needs to be re-written! {{User:Haldo/sig}}

I don't think the games are canon, actually. And even if they were, you're putting way to much importance on what is obviously just a one time joke. [[Special:Contributions/75.175.115.65|75.175.115.65]] 07:18, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

I think We totally need a vote. I actually belive that it is a language, and in the cartoon sometimes others were able to understand him based on his being around english speakers... kinda like when you live with English people when your a baby you learn english easily, but if you grow up with spanish people, you learn spanish easily.
Just a theory. smartkidhen

==Homsar's House==

I've noticed that almost every other character has his/her domicile (aka house) near the debut spot. Do any of you think that [[Strong Badia the Free]] reveals that Homsar's "house" could be considered the [[Homsar Reservation]]? {{User:Strongkinghomsarsmith/sig}}

== Duplication? ==

Homsar said he had "his people". Isn't it possible that there always just more than 1 Homsar? --[[Image:stinkogame-false capsule.gif|20px]][[User:PartyBrd20X6|PartyBrd20X6]][[Image:stinkogame-false capsule.gif|20px]] 12:01, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

== Another Homsar behavior hypothesis ==

I was reading through a lot of the theories about Homsar's behavior and was really surprised that this one was never raised! Allow me to draw a comparison:

In the television show Pinky and the Brain, the Brain is book-smart with an incredible knowledge of science, psychology, engineering, etc., whereas Pinky is something of a goofball, speaking frequently in non sequiturs and appearing to be the 'stupid one' in the relationship. However, it's been suggested that Pinky is truly the genius because he manages to bypass all of the Brain's fancy plans and come up with solutions that are winning in their simplicity and tend to introduce Brain to situations that allow him to be happy or to feel good emotions he has otherwise shut out.

Is it possible that this is true for Homsar as well? He, similar to Pinky, appears to be just stupid and frequently chatters away in non sequiturs, but he seems happier in his simple life than many of the other characters. Some might say this would apply to Homestar more, but I think that Homestar is not truly happy, considering his frequent fights with Marzipan and other clashes with characters. Homsar, however, appears content in his life and goes on his merry way. Is there a possibility that word salads and all, Homsar has a unique brand of genuine intelligence that allows him to be so at peace with how others view him?
: I think that you're reading way too far into a silly cartoon about dumb animal characters (as the creators themselves refer to it. ;) Anyway, how can one tell that Homsar is content? Short of a few scattered instances, he rarely shows any emotion at all. Pinky's got at least ''some'' grounding in reality. Definitely enough for him to show genuine emotion. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:24, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

==Senile==
When I first saw Homestar Runner for the first time, I didn't know about the Sbemails.I thought that he was a senile old Homestar (I mean whatever creature Homestar Runner is.) It just came to me. Perhaps he is just a senile old man? He sure acts like it, and his bowler hat makes him look old timey, like, ... oh my... Old timey Homestar! IMO, he is the old Homestar Runner, except senile, to the point where he almost forgot his name. Homsar sounds like he is mispronouncing his name, don't you guys?

:No. For one, homsar doesn't jumble letters within words, that's cardgage's job. For another, it's clearly either "flowered" or "floured" (I wonder why we never had that debate though). {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:26, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

== Homsar = house? ==

I think it's worth mentioning that Homsar might have several people living inside of him. In DNA evidence, there are a few unseen people talking and they stop when Homsar closes his mouth.
:Eh, I think that chatter going on inside Homsar is just another incarnation of Homsar's nonsense. As for the theory as a whole, like most theories about why Homsar is what he is, it's basically speculation. Even Strong Sad, the most academic of all the main characters, can't make sense of that guy in Strong Badia the Free. Homsar is what he is because he is what he is. There's just not much more to it. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 09:02, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

How many examples of a relationship are necessary before it becomes relevant enough to create an article for it? I count 11 different significant interactions between Homsar and Marzipan (or 12 if we count one that's admittedly a bit of a stretch). This is just two shy of the relationship between Homsar and Homestar. I definitely think if the two of them get together for tea, then their relationship is significant enough to write about. The interactions are:

Positive

• Strong Badathlon - Having a teaparty

• Rampage - Attending poetry slam together

• Answering Machine 5 - Sending flowers

• Answering Machine 7 - Invitation to hang out and calling

• Answering Machine 17 - Confiding about nonsense-talk

• Coloring - Student in L.U.R.N program

• Career Day - Student in L.U.R.N program

• Haunted Photo Booth - Attend Marzipan's Halloween party

• Welcome Back - Run Cool Tape's merch table

Neutral

• Origins - Glued together

• Halloween Fairstival - (Bit of a stretch, but...) Marzipan has the eggplant that Homsar taped a spoon to in Pumpkin Carve-nival

Negative

• Fall Float Parade - Marzipan insults him
:Yeah, that actually sounds pretty good. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 16:52, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

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

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
Does Strong Badia have its' own local 
news even? If so, I hope it's better 
than my local news. 
 
Sincerely, 
Dan D. Tallahassee, FL</blockquote>

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

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

''{Strong Bad holds a sign reading "Strong Badia Action Cool News 5" in front of the camera. The Cheat can be heard making noises in the background imitating the musical intros of news shows.}''

'''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 left 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's sound effects fade out. 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.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 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. The Cheat hangs there for a split-second and then falls back and is caught offscreen by Strong Mad. This process repeats over and over. Strong Bad makes helicopter sounds.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{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, tonight. We'll return to our top story: The World in Crisis.

''{Bubs holds up the "World Crisis" sign. Cut to side angle of the desk again. Bubs is visible for a moment, but he quickly runs away, dropping the sign.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But first, here's 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 racquet.}''

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

''{Strong Mad swats the football at the camera.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Offscreen}'' Ow!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, it looks like our ''eh-sportscaster'' isn't being a very good ''eh-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 against 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 exposé: 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. His sound effects fade out. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the very end, you can click on the little Trogdor-style beefy arm to bring up Strong Bad's educational CD, "Strong Bad's Rhythm N' Grammar".
#Ohhhhh... If you want it to be possessive, It's just "I-T-S". But if it's supposed to be a contraction, Then it's "I-T-apostrophe-S", Scalawag.
#Whatever happened to capitalization? It used to be so cooool.
#Girl, don't forget to spellcheck Or I'll come to your house and throw a brick through your dad's windshield... Windshield!
#Y-O-U-R... Y-O-U-Apostrophe-R-E... They're as different as night and day. Don't you think that night and day are different? What's wrong with you?
#And I don't care how they spell things on the Internet. When you email me, you spell the whole word out. And I don't care that your cell phone has a camera in it. ''{He trails off making bass guitar noises.}''

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*The Cheat making noises in the background near the beginning is a reference to news programs that play a bit of [[Wikipedia:Morse code|Morse code]] which fades as the anchor starts to speak.
*Strong Bad is likely affecting an exaggerated [[Spanish]] accent in his pronunciation of "sport" and "sportscaster." Because the s+consonant sound does not appear at the beginning of a word in Spanish, native Spanish speakers often have difficulty pronouncing such words and will add a soft e sound to the beginning.

===Trivia===
*This is the first time Homestar mentions anything about [[Best/Worst X bucks I ever spent|best/worst bucks spent]].
*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "The World in Crisis with Strong Badia Action Cool News 5! Hard hitting journalism! Thank you, tonight."

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad previously misused "its" when he meant "it's" in the email [[techno]].
*When it first cuts to Strong Bad standing in Strong Badia, the sky is oddly pink, but for the rest of the email the sky is gray. This is different from Free Country, USA's usual clear blue sky.
*While listening to the songs in the Easter egg, the clickable area for the X is disabled.
*None of The Cheat's subtitles from "not funny" onward are capitalized (despite the fact that it "used to be so cool", as Strong Bad sings in the Easter egg).

===Goofs===
*When the tire falls off the desk, the crashing noise is heard before the tire actually hits the ground.
*When Strong Bad is standing at the desk at a side angle, the outlines on the desk are different on the front and back.
*While Strong Mad is sportscasting, his right arm's outline appears slightly above his shoulder when he raises his arm.

===Inside References===
*The arm on the S in the sign is a reference to [[Trogdor]].
*The stained [[index cards]] used to display the titles and names of Strong Bad, Strong Mad, The Cheat, and the Tire are similar to the ones used in [[band names]].
*Strong Mad [[Strong Mad smiling|smiles]] in this email.

===Real-World References===
*This email is from [[Wikipedia:Tallahassee, Florida|Tallahassee, Florida]], but Strong Bad finally says it is from [[Wikipedia:Gainesville, Florida|Gainesville]]. The college football teams of these two cities — the [[Wikipedia:Florida_State_University_Seminoles|Seminoles]] of [[Wikipedia:Florida State University|Florida State University]] and [[Wikipedia:Florida Gators|Gators]] of [[Wikipedia:University of Florida|University of Florida]], respectively — are major rivals. [[Matt Chapman]] graduated from Florida State University.
*The "it's email time again" [[Strong Bad Email Intros|email song]] is based on the [[Wikipedia:KISS (band)|KISS]] song "Cold Gin", including part of the guitar solo.
*Sky Cheat Traffic is a possible reference to Sky Team Traffic on the news station [http://www.wsbtv.com Channel 2 action news], based in [[The Brothers Chaps]]' hometown of [[Georgia|Atlanta]]. The station also happens to have the call letters [[Wikipedia:WSB-TV|W'''SB''']].

===Fast Forward===
*The [[Action Cool 5]] logo would later be used for the station in [[theme song]].

== DVD Version ==
*All 5 Grammar songs have been incorporated into one Easter egg which can be accessed by selecting the hidden Strong Bad logo located at the top right of the Strong Badia News splash paper at the end of the video.
*The DVD version features hidden audio commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Greetings, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Greetings, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's nice to see you again here—

'''MIKE:''' Thanks for joining me again.

'''STRONG BAD:''' —in the commentary booth.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Can I get you anything?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uhh... Can you get me something else?

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Maybe a picnic plate with wine and a baguette?

'''MIKE:''' That's The Che—that's what The Cheat likes.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that's his favorite.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Can I get him something else?

'''MIKE:''' Heh, 'kay... Um...

'''STRONG BAD:''' So this—I need to really put out this album.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, Strong Mad's—"Strong ''Bad's'' Rhythm N' Grammar."

'''STRONG BAD:''' My—What are you, my parents? I'm Strong Bad. ''Bad, bad, bad.''

'''MIKE:''' How can I remember? Do you have any, uh, mnemonic devices?

'''STRONG BAD:''' S. B., times three.

'''MIKE:''' Ohh, I get it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Okay, so, um, em—actually, this email... um... ''{mumbles}'' I don't wanna say that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughs}'' Okay, something else? Maybe another factoid.

'''MIKE:''' Uh... I like, um... the Strong Badia logo... right there for the news had an arm coming out of it, kinda like Trogdor.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, yeah. Look at how he—that's amazing. Spinning that cinder block... "The friggin' Cheat," man. I like the Skycheat Traffic logo, too.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that's good. You guys must have spent some money on that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...So, if you're a news... carster... you gotta... you gotta say "tonight" as much as possible.

'''MIKE:''' Mmhmm.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's what I learned.

'''MIKE:''' Well, you say it a lot in this email.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, you're supposed to. Because you have to remind people, or they'll think it's the afternoon news, and they'll turn it off. Nobody wants to watch that crap.

'''MIKE:''' No, just the evening news.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. Evening—

'''MIKE:''' "Tonight."

'''STRONG BAD:''' Tonight. The tonight news. We should have called it that. ''{pause}'' ''{referring to Homestar, the King of Town, and Marzipan standing in line at Bubs' Concession Stand}'' Those poor suckers. I mean, look at—you'd think, I mean, the King of Town and Homestar I understand, but Marzipan's usually a little more discerning. A little—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, she, uh... Maybe she couldn't see that sign.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, and she's just waiting—she wanted a snow cone or something... Yeah. ''{pause}''

''{simultaneously, after newscaster Strong Bad says "Yes. Well, thank you. Tonight."}''

'''MIKE:''' There, he said... There, he did... So, Bubs... Bubs is...

'''STRONG BAD:''' See? Because, see, someone was about to change the channel, they'd be like, "Oh, this is the—this is noonday. I don't want to watch noonday." Oh! Yeah...

'''MIKE:''' So that's where Bubs was. He wasn't at the concession stand because he was helping you with the news. Is he like an intern?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, he's at the station.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' He's trying—he's getting some hours. Community service, actually.

'''MIKE:''' Oh. ''{laughs}'' Really? What did he do?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah. I—I'm not supposed to say.

'''MIKE:''' Okay. Oh, and the Poopsmith's helping out now too.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh... See, I actually originally drew a picture of butt cheeks with icicles on 'em, but the network wouldn't let me air it.

'''MIKE:''' I can s—I can imagine.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah... ''{pause}'' I, um... ''{After newscaster Strong Bad says "tonight" again}'' ...See? Once again, that was, like, five more viewers—

'''MIKE:''' That doesn't even make any sense.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughs}'' What do you mean?

'''MIKE:''' I mean, you're just saying "tonight".

'''STRONG BAD:''' I s—I kept reiterating that it is tonight!

'''MIKE:''' And you never told us what the World in Crisis was about.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's to get you to come back ''tomorrow'' night and watch.

===Fun Facts===
*The picnic plate with wine and a baguette being [[The Cheat]]'s favorite is a reference to the [[Powered by The Cheat]] toon "[[New Boots]]".
