==Transcript==

''{A view of Strong Bad from behind, sitting in his basement typing at the Corpy on a folding table}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Checking emails at home from your worrrrk computer, ''{the view shifts to a closeup of the screen}'' is kinda like playing first person shooters with your girlfriend. It kinda ruins them booooth.

<blockquote class="corpy email" style="border:#ddd;border-bottom:#ccc;">
Dear Strong Bad, 
my brother had a friend over today and he drove 
me crazy!! What should I do about it? 
 
Crudfully, Henry Wisner WI
<div style="border:none;background:#08089c"></div>
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Dear Strong Bad" as "Dear. Streer. Beer." He reads the closing as a question, as though he's not believing what he's reading, and says "Wisconsin" in place of "WI".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Crudfully? Really? What, was your mom sitting over your shoulder when you typed this email? And is your mom the kind of lady that won't let you type the word 'crap'? Don't get me wrong, I still woulda made fun of you if you ''had'' typed 'crapfully', I prolly would have just left your moms out of it. ''{clear screen}'' So, your bro's fro drove you cro? I don't really have that problem. On account of my brothers are galactically incapable of friend-have. Although when we were kids, Strong Sad had this ''imaginary'' friend that annoyed the crud outta me. Of course, this was back before insane parents made imaginary friends illegal for kids to have. Strong Sad invented him one time when we ''{cut to a view of an attic hatch. The hatch is being knocked at from inside}'' locked him in the attic.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' You know we don't have an attic!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, when we stuffed him in the air vent.

''{The attic hatch transforms into an air vent. Strong Sad's fingers are wiggling through a gap.}

'''STRONG SAD:''' You know we don't have an a—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{interrupting}'' Oh, fine! When we taped him to the ceiling.

''{The air vent transforms into Lil' Strong Sad, in a purple shirt with a bandage over his belly button, stuck to the ceiling with pink tape. Pan down to Lil' Strong Bad}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' That'll teach you to stand and blink. Now stay up there until that Bubble Tape gives out and you fall into my open faced booby trap!

''{Pan down again to reveal a piece of bread on a blue plate with two pickle slices}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' ''{quickly}'' We were out of ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise.

''{cut to Lil' Strong Sad, who is smiling}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Haha! You're right! My brother does look like a big circle with two smaller circles ''{cut to a top shot of Lil' Strong Bad}'' on top of another circle from up here!

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks up}'' Hey! Shut up! Who're you talkin' to?

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Just my new best-also-bubble-taped-to-the-ceiling friend, Scotty Titi!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' THAT's half the reason imaginary friends are illegal now! Kids always give them the creepiest possible names. ''{cut to the King of Town, and a cut out-like image with a top hat}'' Rubby Plop-Plop, ''{cut to Homestar and like image of a person}'' Sir Zabblepants, and ''{cut to Bubs and like rabbit-shaped image}'' Dingy Donger, ''{cut to Coach Z and like image of a man, shaking slightly}'' Real Live Actual Mr. Blangcaster Next Door.

''{The cut-out image raises his arm. Cut to Lil' Strong Bad at the stick. The stick has a leaf, and Strong Bad is drilling a brick}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So, anyway, Strong Bad [sic]  and Scotty Titi were always annoying the crap out of us.

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Ahahaha! ''{pan left to show Lil' Strong Sad}'' That's a good one!

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Hey! Shut it up! What are you guys doing over there?

''{Cut to close up of Lil' Strong Sad}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Oh. Scotty Titi and I were just attaching indefinite articles, and he jokingly used "a" before a vowel sound! ''{holds stomach with both hands, making dodgeball-like sound effect}'' Ohohoho!

''{Cut to close up of Lil' Strong Bad}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' I'll attach this ''{raises brick}'' definite brick to Scotty Titi's face! EH!

''{Cut to wide shot as Lil' Strong Bad throws brick at Lil' Strong Sad, which lands harmlessly on the ground.}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Nice reflexes, Scotty!

''{Screen dims}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I say he annoyed us, but it was really just me.

''{Cut to the door to Strong Mad's room. A loud smacking noise is heard from within, causing the whole house to shake.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Strong Mad was going through some... ahem... changes in those days.

''{Cut to Teen Strong Mad in his room, punching a Trogdor-Blacklight poster that reads "PUBERTY". He has acne, facial hair, curly hair, and large glasses.}''

'''TEEN STRONG MAD:''' ''{voice cracking}'' GIRLS ARE CONFUSING!

''{Screen dims}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So, it was all up to me. First I tried to render Scotty Titi obsolete as an imaginary friend—

''{Cut to Lil' Strong Sad sitting in front of the couch in the basement with copies of ''Time'' magazine on the floor.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —by exposing him as a ''real''ginary friend. ''{As he says this, Lil' Strong Bad pops out from behind the couch with a sack of "Fat Dumb White Flour"}''

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Aha! ''{empties flour onto floor; Lil' Strong Sad looks surprised momentarily and Lil' Strong Bad starts looking inside the now empty sack}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I used to get imaginary and invisible mixed up a lot as a kid.

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Oh, thanks, big brother. I've always wanted to pit my skills ''{pats belly}'' against a pile of cake flour!

''{screen dims}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And of course, at one point, I tried to... ''{cut to Lil' Strong Bad facing away from the screen, slowly zooming in}'' Titi. On Scotty Titi.

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Oh no! My new boots!

''{cut back to Strong Bad at the Corpy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I finally had no recourse but to fight imaginary fire with imaginary fire. So after drinking three gallons of blue drink, I made up my own imaginary friend so they could fight to the imaginary death!

''{cut to Lil' Strong Bad with purple liquid around his mouth. Two empty bottles of Blue Drink are visible.}

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Hey! Scotty Titi! I'd like you to meet my new friend, Frishy Freshy Dragonman!

''{The two imaginary friends appear; Frishy Freshy Dragonman is half-dragon half-man and Scotty Titi is a lump wearing a hat}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' Scotty, look out!

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Wait. ''{cut to Lil' Strong Bad and Lil' Strong Sad}'' Scotty Titi is just a lump? ''{cut to Scotty}'' A mound? ''{cut to closeup of Scotty}'' A pile?

''{Cut to Lil' Strong Sad}''

'''LIL' STRONG SAD:''' ''{shrugs}'' Pretty much.

''{Cut to the two imaginary friends. Frishy Freshy Dragonman burninates Scotty Titi.}''

'''FRISHY FRESHY DRAGONMAN:''' Can I go now?

'''LIL' STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, you're done.

''{Frishy Freshy disappears with a poof}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You ''{types "Ya"}'' still there, Crudkid? I don't know if your mom let you watch this far into the email or not. Anyways, I'm not suggesting you breathe fire on your brother's friend, you know. I'm suggesting you duct tape him to the ceiling. Your realginary pal, Strong Bad. Or, ''{deletes back to the start of Your realginary...}'' Your imaginary pal, Pumpy Clumpy.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*A [[Wikipedia:First-person shooter|first-person shooter]] is a video game genre which centers the gameplay around gun or projectile weapon-based combat through the first person perspective.

===Trivia===
*This is Lil' Strong Sad's first speaking role.
*The back of Lil' Strong Bad's mask has what appears to be a Velcro strap, as opposed to strings. This is similar to how children wear shoes with Velcro on them instead of laces.

===Remarks===
*[[The Stick]] in this email has a solitary leaf, presumably because it is younger and still alive.
*Strong Bad remarks that his brothers are incapable of having friends. However, he should know that Strong Mad and [[The Cheat]] are best friends, as well as Strong Sad being friends with [[Homsar]] and [[Marzipan]].
*In [[yes, wrestling]], Strong Bad said that Homestar Runner had an imaginary tag-team partner named "Gary the Legend".
*The [[Corpy NT6]] is assumed to be an all-in-one computer, and yet there appears to be a [[Datum Center computer]] attached to it, as if the Corpy NT6 was actually a separate computer tower and monitor. ''(See Inside References)''
**While a Datum Center Computer is presumably attached to it, the only wire visible is the one hooked up the Corpy NT6.
*Lil' Strong Bad tries to [[Peeing|pee]] on Scotty Titi.
*Strong Mad has a [[Trogdor]] poster in his room, which seems impossible as Trogdor was invented on the spot in [[dragon]]. This, combined with the fact that Strong Bad already envisioned Trogdor, may imply this story isn't [[History According to Strong Bad|entirely true]].
*This is the first email since [[being nice]] to have the normal Strong Bad Email file type (sbemail#). The two previous, [[email thunder]] and [[hremail3184]] used sbemailtwohundred and hremail3184, respectively.

===Goofs===
[[Image:ghoust_image.PNG|thumb|200px|Ghost photography]]
*During the scene where Lil' Strong Bad is drilling hole in the brick, Strong Bad says "So, anyway, Strong ''Bad'' and Scotty Titi..." rather than "Strong ''Sad'' and Scotty Titi..."

===Fixed Goofs===
*When this email was released, a very faint outline of Strong Bad's face would be visible when the screen fades after Strong Bad throws a brick.

===Inside References===
*The computer console Strong Bad uses is one of the Datum Center computers as seen in [[isp]]. The monitor itself is the Corpy NT6. ''(See Remarks)''
*Strong Bad's comments about "Crudfully yours" are related to emails that usually end with [[Crapfully Yours]].
*Teenage Strong Mad looks very similar to how he did in Strong Bad's "doodle memory" in [[highschool]].
*Lil' Strong Bad's imaginary friend looks similar to the "Dragon-Man" drawing of [[Trogdor]] in the email [[dragon]].
*The flowery wallpaper is the same as the wallpaper of [[1987]], as seen in the email [[no loafing]].
*When Frishy Freshy Dragonman disappears, he makes the same wheezing sound as when [[Sickly Sam]] disappears.
*"Blue drink" is an example of a [[Nondescript Nouns|nondescript noun]].
*The bandage on Strong Sad's belly button is a reference to [[origins]], when Strong Bad hints at the fact that he drilled Strong Sad's belly button when they were much younger.
*The [[Hanging Objects|Trogdor/Puberty poster]] in Strong Mad's room is based on the [[Trogdor Poster|actual poster]] for sale in the [[Store]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Bubble Tape|Bubble Tape]] is a brand of bubble gum that comes in 6 foot long rolls.
*The rabbit-shaped imaginary friend standing next to Bubs is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Harvey (play)|''Harvey'']], a play and movie about a man who insists that he is friends with Harvey, a six-foot tall talking rabbit that only he can see and hear.
*''[[Wikipedia:Time (magazine)|Time]]'' is an American news magazine created in 1923 by Briton Hadden and Henry Luce, making it the first weekly news magazine in the United States.
**''Time: The Game'', which Lil' Strong Sad and Scotty Titi are playing (and which Lil' Strong Sad erroneously refers to as ''Time Magazine: The Game''), was a trivia-based board game inspired by the same newsmagazine. The game was released in 1983 by Time, Inc. and used four question and answer books printed in the same manner as issues of ''Time''.
*[[Wikipedia:Richard Nixon|Richard Nixon]] was 37th [[President]] of the United States of America. [[Wikipedia:Spiro Agnew|Spiro Agnew]] was Nixon's first Vice President.
*The [[Strong Mad's Bass|bass guitar]] in Strong Mad's room bears a resemblance to the [[Wikipedia:Höfner 500/1|Höfner 500/1]], an instrument made famous by [[The Beatles]]' bassist [[Wikipedia:Paul McCartney|Paul McCartney]].
*Mention of illegalization of imaginary friends by insane parents has to do with the recent trend in child-rearing that believes imaginary friends are unhealthy, and an example of mental instability. As Strong Bad seems to point out, it's not an overly popular attitude to stifle a child's imagination.

'''Page Title:''' Hey There, Doughnut Rush!

==Transcript==
''{Homestar is seen cutting out dough rings in Marzipan's Kitchen. Marzipan enters}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, that's sweet! Are you making me homemade doughnut for the 16th anniversary of our 17th breakup?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, no. No way. Um, no way. You know how I've always dreamed of being my own boss at the doughnut factory!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{looking annoyed}'' No, since when?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Why, just last night! ''{Clouds fill the screen, then recede to the edges. A scene depicting Homestar's dream is shown. He is seen wearing a shirt with the Mexican flag on it, standing next to a high-jumping pit. He has only one leg}'' I dreamt that I was a French long-jump champion with eight wooden legs!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Aaand that made you want to start a doughnut shop?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes sir! Like I said, it's a boyhood dream of mine. Could you pass me that recipe?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Picks up a small note from the table}'' There's just this square of TP that says... ''{cut to a close-up of the note}'' "dog-nut" on it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, yeah. That's it. My secret recipe.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Sighs}'' I'm gonna go talk to anyone else but you.

''{Cut to The Field. Homestar is in a makeshift donut stand formed from a large [[cardboard box]] marked "Do-Nots" with a window cut out of it. Homestar's legs are outlined under the window in dotted lines, shown with his right leg (viewer's left) midway. A fat fryer can be seen bubbling in the back.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I honestly wonder how many million donuts I'll sell on my first day. Three? Four? Eight? I've gotta be ready for the 3:09 p.m. doughnut rush, you know? Ooh, here it comes.

''{Bubs, with a red face and an exceptionally furious expression, enters from the right. As he speaks, cartoon smoke clouds emit from his head.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{with forced restraint}'' Well, hello, Hooomestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey there, doughnut rush. What can I get for you?

'''BUBS:''' ''{continuing his forced restraint}'' It's really great to very see you, Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{nervous}'' Uhhm... it's good to see you, too, I guess.

''{As Bubs says the following, we cut to a shot revealing that Homestar's stand is right next to Bubs', facing it}''

'''BUBS:''' I'm ''delighted'' you've decided to set up shop about ''ten feet away'' from me!

''{cut back to Homestar and Bubs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, we could be a conglomerate, like KFC-Taco Bell-Raddisson-Texas Instruments-NASA!

'''BUBS:''' Yes. That is a really outstanding ideeeaaaa!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, Bubs? Are we in a fight?

''{as Bubs speaks, his face slowly returns to its normal blue color}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{slightly calmer}'' What do you think, man?! You opened up a competing donut place right across the street from me!

''{zooms out to the gap between the stores. Note that there is no street, but a field}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{examining the grass between the two stands}'' The street?

'''BUBS:''' Right across the way from me!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I thought you sold questionable medical coverage.

''{Cut to a close-up of Bubs, with his Concession Stand visable in the background with a sign "Why not Donuts?" on the original sign.}''

'''BUBS:''' That was two hours ago. ''{changes to his normal expression, now speaking normally}'' Now I'm in the doughnut bidness. How's that coverage working out for you, by the way?

''{Cut back to the two and the box.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{holds up a big stack of paperwork}'' Great so far!

'''BUBS:''' I gotta get ready for the big 3:09 p.m. doughnut rush. When next we meet, 'twill be on the doughnut field of battle! ''{Cut to a silhouette of the scene. Bubs marches to his stand imitating a military drum cadence}'' Dubba dup dup dup, dubba dup dup dup, dubba dup dup dubbaa da dup dup dup!

''{Cut to a shot of a clock that strikes 3:09. Cut back to a shot of the two stands. The King Of Town appears in a puff of smoke.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oof! All right gentlemen, here's how this is gonna go down. I need fried dough so bad it hurts! According to the data I got back from Taco Bell-NASA ''{places a hefty stack of paperwork on the ground}'', we're gonna need in the 3 to 8 million range to maintain my caloric intake. Now, commence marketing bombardment!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Mine's is homemade! ''{holds up a spoon with some donut batter and a few hairs on it}''

'''BUBS:''' Mine's is shipped from a 3rd world country named Homemáde, so I can legally print "From Homemade" on the prepackaged package. ''{holds up a package of his donuts that says "FROM HOMEMÁDE!"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I've got grit, gumption, and an adorable speech ''{exaggerating his usual speech impediment}'' impootaboot.

'''BUBS:''' My name's Bubs, I talk hard and fast.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Available in 57 different varieties!

'''BUBS:''' One flavor ''{the word "regular" appears above his head}'', over a hundred different names for it! ''{various names that all are variations of "regular" appear around Bubs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{holds up a newspaper}'' Marzipan raves "Hey! Get outta my kitchen, you!"

'''BUBS:''' ''{cut to a shot of a box of toothpaste labeled "Bubs' Donuts!"; as he says each descriptions, it appears onscreen}'' Fights cavities! Cleans Teeth! ''{A cartoon Bubs appears in the bottom right corner, bearing the following message in a speech bubble}'' The American Dental Association does not approve the preceding statements.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' All right, all right, all right. You both make excellent cases, but I've come to my decision.

'''BUBS:''' Health Inspector! Cheese it, everyone!

''{Bubs closes his stand}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ooh! ''{he disappears in another puff of smoke}''

''{Strong Bad, in silhouette, is seen coming up and walks towards Homestar with a clipboard in his hand.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey potential customer, would you like several million doughnut?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No. I don't want ''one''.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But do you dough-''not'' want one? Hmmm?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm the health inspector, here to hopefully shut you down. Now rub this swab under your grease trap and bring it back.

''{Homestar takes the swab and rubs it on the fat fryer.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes sir, Inspector Heath! ''{Homestar starts humming the theme to Inspector Gadget}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{To himself}'' ...And we'll do a little {rolls the l} bit of ''this''! ''{Strong Bad slaps a note marked "F" on the side of Homestar's stand, causing it to fall over. Smoke begins to rise from it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah! My face!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughs and walks away}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' My delicious fried face! Bubs, is this covered by my questionable medical coverage? At least questionably so? Bubs?

''{Cut to a long shot of both stands in silhouette. Bubs opens the back of his stand and is seen sneaking away.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{to the tune of "Mysterioso Pizzicato"}'' Root, root, root, root, doodloodloodloodloodloo, doot doot doot doo...

''{A circle of "ends" appears, the top of which is pink. A back button appears.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
* The toon's title is a pun on the [[Wikipedia:Ethic of reciprocity|ethic of reciprocity]], commonly known as the "Golden Rule," which is often expressed as "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

===Trivia===
*The [[News Articles|newspaper]] reads:
{| style="border-collapse: collapse; border: 3px solid #999"
| style="color:#999; font-family:Times New Roman,serif; font-size:1.5em; line-height:1em; padding:5px; text-align:center;" | The Imaginary Newspapes
|-
| style="font-family:Times New Roman,serif; font-size:2em; padding:5px; text-align=center;" |MARZIPAN RAVES:
|-
| style="color:#999; font-family:Times New Roman,serif; font-size:1.25em; text-align:center;" | Hey! Get outta my kitchen, you!
|-
| style="font-family:Times New Roman,serif; font-size:1.1em;" | FCUSA - The Marzipan was stunned today when she woke to find a totally legit donut enterprise operating out of her own dang kitchen. Mexican high jumper Homestar Garcia Colon was unavailable for comment but French long jumper Chateau 'Octo' Etoile broke out the ol' soft shoe.
|}
*At the end of the toon, if you remove Bubs' silhouette using a decompiler, you can see that he is wearing [[the Thnikkaman|The Thnikkaman's]] "tH".

===Remarks===
*In Marzipan's kitchen, the sink seen in [[Where's The Cheat?]] has disappeared.
*When Bubs warns that the health inspector is coming, he looks and points in a different direction than Strong Bad (as a health inspector) comes from.
*Though he dreamt he was a French long-jump champion, Homestar is seen with a [[Spanish|Mexican flag]] on his shirt. ''(See Real-World References)'' ''(See Inside References)''
*As evidenced by the mat behind him, Homestar appeared to be in a high-jump competition, not a long-jump.
*Bubs's larger eye changes color depending on the color of his skin.

===Inside References===
*Homestar claims he was a [[French]] long-jump champion. The French name in the newspaper, "Chateau Etoile" roughly means "Home Star". ''(See Remarks)''
*[[Trivia Time]] is shown in the kitchen.
*Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]] in this short.
*Strong Bad pulls the F slip out of [[hammerspace]].
*In Homestar's newspaper, Marzipan is once again referred to as "The Marzipan" as she was in [[Date Nite]]. This is another example of [[integral article]]s before names.
*When the Health Inspector comes up, Bubs says, "Cheese it!", which is what Strong Bad says to Strong Mad and The Cheat when they steal Marzipan's radish in [[The Reddest Radish]].
*Homestar also used the words "Dough-''not''" in place of "not" in [[Weclome Back]].
*"Do-Nots" is phonetically similar to "do not", previously referenced by Senor Cardgage in [[Senorial Day]] ("You doe NOT want to miss any Senorial Day savings action!!)

===Real-World References===
* Homestar hums the theme to [[Wikipedia:Inspector Gadget|Inspector Gadget]].
* The flag that Homestar wears in his dream is the [[Wikipedia:Flag of Mexico|flag of Mexico]].
* Several of the companies that Homestar lists as a conglomerate are real companies:
** [[Wikipedia:KFC|KFC]] and [[Wikipedia:Taco Bell|Taco Bell]] are restaurants owned by [[Wikipedia: Yum! Brands|Yum! Brands]].
** [[Wikipedia:Radisson Hotels|Radisson]] is a hotel chain owned by [[Wikipedia:Carlson Companies|Carlson Companies]].
** [[Wikipedia:Texas Instruments|Texas Instruments]] is a semiconductor and electronics maker.
**[[Wikipedia: NASA|NASA]] is the United States space agency, not part of a conglomerate.
*Bubs's line about being able to legally say his donuts are "from Homemade" is a reference to an [http://www.snopes.com/business/genius/usa.asp urban legend] in which Japan supposedly renamed one of its cities to "Usa" in order to claim that its products were "Made in USA".
*Homestar's line about "57 different varieties" refers to the slogan of the American condiment company [[Wikipedia:H. J. Heinz Company|Heinz]].
*The music Bubs hums at the end is a piece called "Mysterioso Pizzicato" and is commonly used as stock music for sneaking characters or villains. Though, given the Bros. Caps penchant for old video game references, it may have been chosen as being the 'Wizards and Warriors' boss music.
