==Censorship?==
<blockquote>The floating endorsement on Strong Bad's hat is a reference to late night advertisements that use a similar technique to censor parts of the screen.</blockquote>

I thought they just stuck that floating logo in because the generic endorsement is obviously prerecorded and is used to make it relevant. Nothing to do with censorship. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 18:48, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
:You're right. No further discussion necessary, it's just completely incorrect. Consider it gone. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 18:53, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
::The reason I added that reference is because it looks suspiciously like the Girls Gone Wild spots that show up on overnight TV, which also fits with the style of the informercial parody. The reason I phrased it that way was to prevent having a link to a site containing nudity and inappapriate content. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 21:34, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
:::This is digitally pasting a logo onto Strong Bad's hat. That is censoring. Not even vaguely similar, save that both are done in post production. Oh, and the way SB's hat-logo doesn't follow his motion very well. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 21:39, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

== Weird talking narrators? ==

Should that be a running gag? It seems that most fake commercials on Homestar Runner have narrators with a tenuous grasp on the English language. -{{User:Stinkoman K/Sig}} 23:18, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
:Where else does this happen? I don't find any announcers in these commercials so far to have low-English skills. --[[Special:Contributions/75.5.176.233|75.5.176.233]] 02:24, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
::You're right. I thought there were more instances of poor English by narrators, but I guess I was confusing it with the general poor grammar that is used in toons like this. Moving on. ''{buzzer}'' -{{User:Stinkoman K/Sig}} 03:14, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

== "How you did at" ==

Should we consider this a [[Non-Inverted Questions|non-inverted question]], a [[Jumbled Words|word jumble]] or [[Deliberately Poor English|Engrish]]? Though inverting inverting the question's noun and verb it still doesn't make sense, however then it could be considered Engrish ("How did you at?" could mean "How did you it?— Wait. It could just be Engrish itself for "How you do it?" I'm slightly confused on what we should put this under. --[[Special:Contributions/75.5.176.233|75.5.176.233]] 23:48, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
:It sounds vaguely like a Southernism (like "What it be" or whatever that nonsensical question is that became "How are you doing"). [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 02:50, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
::It's a slurring of "How you did that?" which is "cool" talk for "How did you do that?" -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.17|128.103.10.17]] 20:30, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
:::So, should we add this to the explanations? --[[Special:Contributions/75.5.176.233|75.5.176.233]] 22:15, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

== Plastique ==

consider adding a real world refference about plastique. I'm pretty sure it's old slang for plastic explosive. {{unsigned|71.228.22.20|01:59, 9 December 2008}}
:I think its a play on trademarks or fancy names for fancy things. Even then, it seems like a stretch. --[[Special:Contributions/75.5.176.233|75.5.176.233]] 02:24, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
I removed a reference to the cover of the Kraftwerk single [[Wikipedia:Tour de France (song)|Tour de France]]. Although the designs are indeed similar, they're basic enough that it could easily be a coincidence. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:34, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

Is it necessary to describe how the cards look in the trivia section? Maybe if they were parodies of existing card designs I could see it. But it's not really trivia to say, for example, "the track is a brownish color, has white stripes, and 7 is the only clearly visible number."
:We tend to describe that sort of thing in trivia sections all over the wiki. It doesn't fit in the transcript and it's useful to have. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:30, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
:: Why is it useful to have. I also was left wondering why descriptions of the cards were included. It did not seem interesting or useful to me. [[User:Del Taco?|Del Taco?]] 21:45, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
:::Actually, if you look at the toon in the flash file, you can clearly see numbers 7,6, and 5 counting outwards, and the track ends on 6, so stragely, there is no 4,3,2, or 1 on the track. Just sayin'. [[User:Kumquaticus|*BOOM!*Kumquaticus*BOOM!*]] 16:58, 10 December 2008 (UTC)Kumquaticus

== Strong sad smiling ==

When the vhs is first shown, you can see strong sad smiling. Should someone add this to the page?
:[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Coach_Z%27s_110%25&diff=613643&oldid=613634 Already added]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:38, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

== VHS meaning ==

In actuality, VHS means "Vertical Helical Scan" or "Video Home System".
:Stick it in Explanations. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:06, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

== Card numbers? Really? ==

I don't think that it is nessecary to mention the credit cards' numbers. Really, is it that important to post? Besides, the article it links to is being discussed for deletion anyway. [[User:Kumquaticus|*BOOM!*Kumquaticus*BOOM!*]] 17:46, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

== 80s Viderotapes ==

This entire thing is a reference to cheesy instructional videos and infomercials, we know that.
But a few features stand out that make it particularly '80s (a time when these videos were king).
* Sliding boxes with trails showing different images from the tapes, which appeared in every one of these videos I saw as a kid
* Ridiculously huge box sets due to the VHS tape's length limitations
* Use of poorly illustrated graphs and 'computer graphics' that were just vector lines (a la [[Wikipedia:Battlezone (1980 video game)|Battlezone]], which came out in 1980 and paved the way for '3D' graphics like [[Main Page 21]].
* A stupid musical sting at the beginning of the video
* Random cuts of people saying the name of the tapes
Just wondering if there's a way to parse this into actual references. {{User:TsuyoiWarui/sig}} 19:26, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

==Gymnasium==
I think I saw the [[Gymnasium]] and maybe the [[The Athletic Field|Athletic Field]] in the fly-thorugh shots at the beginning. Shouldn't these be added to the places?
==VCR Card==
The one to the right reads "VCR" on a card that resembles a VHS video. I don't think that this is supposed to be a credit card. I think it's an icon tied to "Free with proof of VCR-have." Anyone agree?--[[Special:Contributions/24.143.101.207|24.143.101.207]] 00:06, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
:Yes. That's the joke. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:08, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
::However, it does have the same credit card number as the others. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 00:23, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

== A Commercial Year ==

*This was the last Short of 2008, and it is a commercial like the first 2008 Short, [[Blubb-O's Commercial]].

Intentional or not, that's still pretty weird, especially if you remember 2008 as the year Homestar Runner [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People|sold]] [[Limozeen Live!|out]]. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 19:48, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
:It doesn't belong in the article. There's no real connection at all. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 19:53, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
::I didn't say I still think it does. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 20:04, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

== -Have ==

I noticed that this toon includes "Proof of VCR-Have" at the end, which matches a similar pattern of "something-having" in other toons and emails. I'm wondering if there's enough here to start a [[:Category:Word running gags|running gag]] article on this pattern.

The only other instance I can point to at the moment is Email [[your edge]], which is all about "edge-having". [[Gunhaver]] may also qualify. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:21, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
:Hmm... i think it's broader though... it's the same pattern as things like "sense-make" too... don't know how to articulate that as a page title though, i'll leave that to the grammar buffs. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:43, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

== Olive Square, Olive Square, Olive Square Olive Squaaaaaare... ==

In the YouTube version, there is an olive-colored square inside the "O" in "Call Now!" at the end. Since the DVD hasn't been released yet, should we start a section called "YouTube Version", or is it not significant enough?

''{Bright red text reading "HOLD ON!" is seemingly slapped onto the screen, and Strong Sad looks into the camera.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{off screen}'' Hold on!

The latter makes its way to the center of the screen and zooms in to cover the complete viewing area.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{turns to the camera, and starts speaking very statically and detached}'' Hi. I'm Coach Z.

''{Zoom in on Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' And the makers of this commercial have asked me to speak in a more toned-down voice.

''{Cut to an orange background, where blue tapes marked with the tape number and titles like "TAPE FOUR: the fundamentals" (showing a basketball player punching someone in the face), "TAPE NINE: advanced techniques" (showing a baseball player hitting a catcher in the head with his baseball bat), and "TAPE FOURTEEN: training tips" (showing a tennis player preparing to hit a rabbit flying through the air) float around the screen.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{off screen}'' The fundamentals! Advanced techniques! Training tips! ''{Four tapes marked "THE JOCK- part one", "THE JOCK- part two", "THE JOCK - part three", and "THE JOCK- part four" stack up on each other, each one depicting a jockstrap}'' And a some lot more!

''{Cut to the Athletic Field where Homestar (in his "Team Kneepads" shirt), Strong Sad and The Cheat are standing behind three tires and three baseball gloves. A folded sign with "DRILLS" on it is present in front of The Cheat's tire. Homestar, Strong Sad, and The Cheat start to lean forward, pat their butts, and jump about in a 'warm-up like' fashion.}''

'''COACH Z:''' My butt-patented system will get the results ''your'' youngster needs to not get made fun of out on the field ''{Pronounced as "Fee-air-ald"}''.

''{Cut again to reveal Homestar standing around in a similar fashion to before, only at the Athletic Field, slowly zooming in with white borders. He turns around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hustle for sports!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, wearing a blue baseball cap, standing in front of an orange background with "This Pr&hearts;duct" repeated on it (in a similar way to the [[Index Page]]). The logo of the video is hovered in front of his cap very awkwardly and doesn't match his movements.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This product is a product ''I'' endorse. ''{Makes a punch-like gesture at the viewer, and pauses awkwardly for a second}'' On my hat.

''{Cut to Homestar in The Locker Room, white borders. He turns around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hustle for sports!

''{Cut to a pie chart over a blue background, "HUS 75%", "T 16%", "L 6%" and "E 3%" are marked as so on the chart.}''

'''COACH Z:''' My whole deal's backed up with ''{A green pie-chart piece reading "extra 10%" is dropped onto the chart}'' actual scientific findings— ''{Text reading "!!!!" appears, with a line connecting it and the new green pie-chart piece}''

''{A horizontally rotating wireframe model of a human figure appears on the screen.}''

'''COACH Z:''' —and rotating computer graphics, so you ''know'' it's legit! ''{"100% Rotatey" appears on the screen, with a line connecting it to the rotating figure}''.

Microphones marked "Sporto TV" and "Sports Mics Inc." are held up to him, and TV bugs containing the text "LIVE-ish" and a logo for "VSTV - Vague Sports Television" are also on screen. Flash photos are being taken.}''

'''REPORTER:''' ''{off screen}'' Homestar Runner, ''you'' just won the sports, how you diddat?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{out of breath}'' Well, we just brought our A game, you know? Everybody stepped it up out there, ''{wipes sweat off brow with towel}'' and then we stayed within ourselves, and decided that it would be a good strategy to try and score more points than our opponents within the allotted time. ''{sudden enthusiasm, holding up Coach Z's intructional video}'' Thanks, Coach Z's 110% Hustle for Sports Instructional Video!

''{Cut to a blue background, with 5 of the videos stacked among each other, a flashing "CALL NOW!!", and the price of "$59.95*". Below them is the text "We Accept:", followed by four credit cards}''

96.234.74.23: Lastly, it was first used in January 2008.

[[Strong Sad]]'s design hasn't changed much. His arms have been changing in size and his voice has gotten higher. He has also grown less depressed.

96.234.74.23: /**/Looking kinda dangerous...

The early Sb Email Strong sad has not less fingers, he's just holding the postcard in a weird way! His thumbs are behind it. Dont you think?
*Don't you know typeing? Anyway, good point, well made.

Why don't we know the months of all Strong Sad skethes?

Uh, we do. If you look next to them, it says when they were made. What are you talking aboot? -[[User:Poopsmith Z|Poopsmith Z]]

== Another Evolution? ==

Does it seem to anyone that in the Saddy Dumpington cartoon, Strong Sad evolved some more? I mean, his body looked a bit fatter and his head just seemed generally different. --Bluelite
:I thought the same thing. Somebody who's good with evolution should take a look at that. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 00:46, 26 Aug 2005 (UTC)
There's definitely a difference. I set it up, but it needs a tad more info... - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]''''' 16:38, 31 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:I see it too. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:40, 31 Aug 2005 (UTC)
::'''EDIT:''' Now that I think about it a little more, are we really seeing new versions, or are they just moving his arms and legs to have him be facing slightly different directions? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:06, 31 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:Well, I think the fourth and fifth are different. I'm not sure about the Folky Tale one. - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''

He's just standing in different poses and looking in different directions. It's not an evolution.

:I agree with the guy above me. I see absolutely no difference in the two character designs. {{User:Gafaddict/sig}} 22:22, 2 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:The picture can't be from A Folky Tale. Strong Sad was on the other side of the circle and you could see the rope. There has to be another cartoon with him like this.----Strongglad.

::No, it's from Folky Tale. I just switched the image around so it matched the others. - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''

:Well, in a Folky Tale when he stared at the rope he looked up at it, but when he talked to Coach Z, his eyes and head were lined up with his. I think the evolution is that now he looks at people when he talks to them and not just downwards.-Strongglad

I think so too, but we'll need more proof in future toons to find out for sure. - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]''''' 23:57, 2 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Maybe we can look when his next appearance comes.--Strongglad

No, that can't be right. There are definitely a couple of differences other than his head. See, his legs are also closer together. --Bluelite

It looks like Strong Sad looking at people when he talks to them was only in A Folky Tale. In TrogdorCon 97, he's back to looking downwards--Strongglad

==Lighter==
I don't want to start an edit war here. Please tell us why Strong Sad is lighter. He seems to be the same weight. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 22:45, 2 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:Heh. I think they mean color, not weight. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:47, 2 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::Ahhhhhhhhh {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 22:50, 2 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Strong Sad's Mouth ==

When did it change? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 20:34, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
:The earliest I traced the change to was gimmicks. It's not as frown-shaped and there's also a difference in the way it moves when he talks. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 22:24, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

== New look from One Two, One Two? ==

Wouldn't anyone agree that the way Strong Sad's right leg looks is different from the images included in the article? I'm just saying that his lower body and upper legs are kinda fused together. What you saw in [[One Two, One Two]] is Strong Sad's right side. I guess we should wait for another toon or sbemail with Strong Sad in it to come up.

== New look from [[rated]] ==

His knees, they're all-a swirly-like. --{{User:Homfrog/sig}} 11:15, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
::I'll add it. [[User:D&d greg|D&d greg]] 20:41, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Not an evolution - the new shading and stuff only appeared in environment and rated, when he was holding a sign. -[[User:Poopsmith Z|Poopsmith Z]]

How are his hands more realistic? They look the same to me... {{User:Religious Corn/sig}} 19:09, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Can we please remove it? :D -[[User:Poopsmith Z|Poopsmith Z]]

No more comments? Okay, taking it down. -[[User:Poopsmith Z|Poopsmith Z]]

== Looking kinda dangerous... ==

Where does [[In Search of the Yello Dello|Yello Dello]] Strong Sad fit into this table? Is he part of one design or is he in a transition?

== Ja What? ==

...all right, I've removed that silly "Ja" fact like, three times, and it keeps getting added back. What *is* the big deal here? Considering it's not actually a real word, and that Schenkel McDoo's grasp of the English language is tenuous at best, this fact seems pointless and demeaning. Should we put a fun fact in [[buried]] about how when he says "Yold Ones Vry" at the end, he actually means "Cold Ones Dry"? Some of these so-called "facts" are so ridiculously nitpicky it's not funny. -{{User:YK/sig}} 23:53, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
:Are you aware of the linguistic relation between /y/ and /j/? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:55, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
::Ja, but that's really not the issue. "Yah" is perfectly acceptable; I've seen it spelled this way before. It isn't a glaring error that especially needs to be pointed out, because it's really not much more "incorrect", IMO, than Catsup/Ketchup. But let's be serious here. When you consider McDoo uses "Yah" in another line along with "Yold Ones Vry", which isn't proper grammar no matter *how* you look at it, it seems, as I said, excessively nitpicky. That, and I think TBC is allowed to make their characters talk as they want. But eh. -{{User:YK/sig}} 00:00, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
:::Apart from YK's rant, he has a point. It borders on speculation to assume that he was actually saying "ja". Admittedly, a word meaning "yes" fits there, and he does have a foreign name and accent ("Ja" actually means "yes" in at least 7 languages [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ja#Andere_Sprachen], most notably German - which would also match his accent). In my opinion, it's speculation, and a discussion here on the talk page is all the documentation we need.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:01, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
::::...this wouldn't be the first time I've complained about some of us being a [[Talk:Rap Song#New Math|tad bit too nitpicky]] here... -{{User:YK/sig}} 00:11, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
:::::Given that Taranchula are clearly portrayed as Scandinavian, I don't think it's at all unreasonable to speculate that they were saying "ja". I wouldn't call spelling it "yah" a goof, but I think noting that the real Scandinavian word is "ja" is worthwhile. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:24, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

I already did this, but is it okay to put up an alternate link to download the fist two QOWs with since we have no mirror to it?
[[User:MichaelXX2|MichaelXX2]] 18:46, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

:I removed them. As [[#Mirrors_behind_mirrors.|before]], I doubt the authenticity of those recordings. The [[Audio Quality|quality]] is very poor, lower than in the actual toons themselves. They appear to be recorded by someone other than the [[The Brothers Chaps]]. How did you find them? Do you know their source? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:00, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

:Actually, I recorded them myself. I thought they might be of assistance since we don't have a link...
{{User:MichaelXX2/sig}}

== Download Help ==

I can't get any of these to download because I have Quicktime, which only allows downloads through a paid version that I don't have. Anyone know how to make Quicktime NOT the default download choice? Shaggy, who is currently not signed in.
:If you right-click on the links in the list here, you should get a menu that you can choose "Save link" or "Save target" or similar... that should save straight to disk, rather than going through QuickTime. As for disabling QT completely (so that you could download them from the H*R site, for instance), I'm not sure... but it'd help to know what version of QuickTime you have, which browser (Internet Explorer? Firefox? Which version?) and which OS (Windows? Mac? Linux? Again, which version?). {{User:Phlip/sig}} 07:05, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

It's QT version 7.5.5, Internet Explorer, and WindowsXP. And the "Save target" worked, so thanks :)--[[User:Shaggy|Shaggy]] | [[User talk:Shaggy|talk]] 08:07, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

I don't know the source of the latest quote. Someone fix it please. Thanks! {{User:Mas12806/sig}} 01:09, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

I believe it's a Most in The Graveyard outtake.

What does it have to do with Most in the Graveyard? [[User:Omnisweater|Omnisweater]] 02:46, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

== Quote of the a few weeks ==

Has anyone noticed that the gaps btw qods are getting bigger? Seriously, they haven't changed it since, what, like Nov. 20? 'Tsup widdis?--{{User:Lifty Fernandez/sig}}
:It's most probably the same as any of the other delays in emails and toons and so on: working on the game or the recent DVD. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:07, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
People have also noticed that the current quote is broken and has been for weeks, right? On the day the quote was originally going to have been switched out there was indeed a new quote there, briefly. Strangely it switched back within 6 hours and broke itself, and it hasn't been tended to since. --74.170.121.220 22:17, 14 January 2009 (EST)

== Quote of the Week "exclusive" ==

Should we really call every quote that seems to be an outtake of some toon but we can't tell which toon an "exclusive" quote? Most of what are currently known as QotW Exclusives seem to be outtakes. I think we should change them all to "Unknown", except for a few that really are exclusive quotes, like [[Quote of the Week#QW-quote of the day|"This is the Quote of the Day!"]] one. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 23:50, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
:Yeah. These quotes are probably all being produced for some-or-other toon; we just don't know which ones. Is there any room for speculation? For example, a recent filename was "patcheer_yearbook.mp3", suggesting that it came from [[TGS14]] and that the guy was [[Patchbeard]]. In this particular case, I wouldn't have realized this unless someone had suggested it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:34, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
::I read that as "Pat Cheer yearbook" implying that it's some guy named pat. Still, it's clearly a yearbook inscription and thus clearly from [[TGS 14]]. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 11:01, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
:::'''Pat'''chbeard. Still speculation. Still works. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:44, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

== Career Day? ==

This weeks quote of the week sounds suspiciously like an outtake or deleted scene from [[Career Day]], rather than a quote of the week exclusive. {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 00:09, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

:::::I thought it was an outtake for [[Main Page 20]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:53, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

== One List ==

The quote of the week page was recently split into [[:Template:Quote of the Week|several pages]] for each year (like the [[Sketchbook]] and [[Weekly Fanstuff]] pages), but I believe it should remain as one long list <s>(okay, technically two, but on one page)</s>. The quotes page, while moderately long, is not unbearably so, and the benefits of having all the quotes on one page far outweigh any page-length concerns. Most important is the fact that the tables can be sorted for easy searching and comparison of quotes over several years. (The sketchbook and weekly fanstuff pages are different in that there is no need to sort the tables, and the graphics take up much more space per entry.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:02, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
:But what about browsers that can't edit pages as long as Quote of the Week? It is just as helpful having the list broken up, if not more. --{{User:T3H_CH3K7_888/sig}} 13:32, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
::Frankly, that seems to be spurious argument. While MediaWiki does complain when a page is too long, I'm not aware of any browser that cannot outright edit the page. The notice is more about a warning to make sure that data is properly kept track of. However, given the layout and nature of the page, I lean towards keeping it as is. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 14:14, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
:::Then if you wanna keep the QOTW as a long list, then why is the fanstuff divided?--{{User:Record307/sig}} 15:05, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
::::Because not dividing the Weekly Fanstuff would mean having to temporarily download hundreds of images of every single fanstuff that's ever existed from the server every time you just wanted to see the latest fanstuff. It's easier on your internet connection and speeds up your page viewing if you only need to download the year's fanstuff so far (a fraction of the total), rather than ''all'' the fanstuff so far. The Quote of the Week article contains only a dozen or so [[Quote of the Week Character Heads|Character Heads]] so the images load pretty quickly. The text itself doesn't actually take long to appear in your browser so the amount of text isn't the issue here. But I wonder if the tables could be split up according to year? That way, you would have the choice to only edit the table of the corresponding year in which the quote appeared, instead of the entire table we have at the moment. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 18:47, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
:::::Breaking it into separate tables would negate the advantage of having them on a single page, namely sorting, as dot com mentioned above. For example, you can sort by the character head, effectively allowing you to easily see all the quotes from a specific character, or by source to group them that way, etc. [[Special:Contributions/64.198.255.1|64.198.255.1]] 19:49, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
::::::Do you know how much stuff we would have to change template wise to make this big move work out? {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 20:28, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
::::::: Single <strike>duece</strike> list! It is easier and no known computer used today (besides the Lappy) is not strong enough to load this page.
:::::::: As I've [[HRWiki:Main Page Talk Archive 22#Too long, Clanky!|said]] [[Talk:Quote of the Week/Archive 2#Sort By Year|before]], the 32kb thing is just a benchmark, nothing more. On Wikipedia, IIRC that message doesn't even mention that some browsers might have problems, or even include the word "Warning". We probably should change the message here to match.
:::::::: Fanstuff and Sketchbook it makes sense to split up, 'cause each row has its own image... if that was all in one page, there'd be several hundred images to download when you open the page (just look at how long it takes to load, say, [[Floppy Disk Container]] over a dialup connection... a one-page Fanstuff or Sketchbook would take even longer to load). The gains you get from paginating those outweigh the loss of sorting... and there's not much to sort on there, anyway. QotW doesn't have that problem - each row has an image, but they're smaller and heavily reused (it only needs to load SB's head once, for instance). And there's more use to be gained from having it all in one sortable table - the "Character head", "Quote" and "Source" columns can all be sorted to group the quotes by the face, who's talking, or which toon it's from.
:::::::: So, in short: QotW doesn't have the problems that Fanstuff and Sketchbook have that made splitting those pages a good idea, and it does have features that would be made worse by splitting it up. So don't. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 23:17, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

== Forreally One List ==

Since the one-list discussion has come up again, how about the other side... What do people think about merging the two lists into one? Just leaving the "Head" column blank for the quotes before they were added... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 09:43, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
:They're two file types, .zip and .mp3. It's easier to have them in two lists. --{{User:T3H_CH3K7_888/sig}} 12:07, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
::I'm not sure why the different filetypes should be important... I'm thinking more in terms of why we have it all on one page to begin with – for the sortable tables. There's really nothing special about the quotes themselves that means they should be in a different section... they just happened to be released before some random date that some stuff was changed. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 12:10, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
:::That's a pretty good idea. I went ahead and {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Quote_of_the_Week&oldid=644305 tried it out}}. Looks fine to me. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:21, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

== Fanstuf QoTW's = "Not" Exclusive ==

==July 23, 2009==

::::That's what an outtake is, an alternate take that wasn't used.

== Determining the status of a quote ==

How do you guys decide whether a quote is an outtake, a blooper, an extended take, an exclusive, etc.? {{User:Neox/sig}} 00:38, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

:Its pretty simple. an Blooper is when they say a line, but there's an obvious mess-up. An outtake is when they say a line, but use a few different words. An extended take is when in the toon, not the whole sentence is completed, but the QOTW is. And, exclusive is when we've never heard it before. Simple. [[User:StrongAwesome74|StrongAwesome74]] 00:47, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
::To clarify:
::*'''outtake:''' Any take that is not used in the final product. We use the label outtake when none of the more-specific labels below will do, and items with that label are typically takes that feature an alternate wording from what ended up in the toon.
::*'''blooper:''' A specific kind of outtake where someone flubs a line or makes some other mistake.
::*'''extended take:''' A clip where a portion of the audio was part of the toon but the rest was not. The extra portion is included as a bonus.
::*'''exclusive:''' A clip that was prepared especially to be a quote of the week. We used to label more things as exclusive than we do now. Previously, anything we couldn't identify was labeled exclusive, but now we reserve it for things that are unequivocally unique and label everything else as unknown.
::[[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:35, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

== Stale Cornbread ==

Bubs's [[Quote_of_the_Week#QW-2006-02-16|quote]] that references [[A Decemberween Pageant]] on 16 Feb 2006 could not have been an outtake from that cartoon. If you listen closely, his voice is of the newer style, and the quality is much better than the Chaps could have produced during their Cool Edit Pro 'era'. However, the line would make sense in context when replacing his actual line in [[myths & legends]], which was released 3 days earlier, and after his line he does a dance that references [[Dancin' Bubs]], so it probably is from that sbemail.

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
*This toon ended a [[Store Front Page News 2008#January 29, 2008|month-long sale of Senor Cardgage and Homsar merchandise]], which followed the mention of "Non-Sequitur Champion: Cardgage or Homsar?" in [[fan club]]; shoppers were invited to "vote" for their favorite incoherent character by purchasing a T-shirt of either character. Homsar won the title with 63% of the vote.
*[[Wikipedia:Presbyterianism|Presbyterianism]] is a family of Christian denominations and a form of [[Wikipedia:Calvinism|Calvinism]].

===Trivia===
*The toon was removed from the Store on May 22, 2008, making it a [[secret page]].

=== Remarks ===
*Even when this toon was found in the [[Store]], it was not included in the [[TV Time Toons menu]].
*The Flash file for this toon is hosted on [[Videlectrix|videlectrix.com]].
*Strong Sad didn't write "Grape Soda Banked" in his usual, elegant handwriting.
*When Strong Sad first draws the picture, it lacks color, but when he shows the camera, the grapes on the label and the bills emerging from the ATM are colored.
*Senor Cardgage has actually had coherent thoughts before. Some of his dialogue in both [[Senor Mortgage]] and [[Senorial Day]] would qualify as coherent.

=== Inside References ===
*This is another mention of [[grapes]].
*[[Cherry Greg]] is listed as the producer of this toon.
*[[Lem Sportsinterviews|Sportsinterviews]]/[[A. Chimendez|Chimendez]] is listed as the production company.
* [[Styles Upon Styles]] is listed as the provider of Homestar's wardrobe.
* The ATM that Strong Sad draws strongly resembles the ATM in [[Experimental Film]].

=== Fast Forward ===
*"Chant Words Together" would later be used at the end of the [[Punkin Show]].

Coach Z

96.234.74.23 — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:23:19 GMT

96.234.74.23: Spaced slashes, so the whole phrase appears properly

{{charnav|Coach Z|cz|Marzipan|Bubs}}
[[Image:coach-z.png|thumb|right|200px|More than two problems]]
{{about|main character}} {{for|[[Teen Girl Squad]] character|Olympic Man and Coach}}

==Biography==
'''Coach Z''' is the "[[Wikipedia:Coach (sport)|coach]]" of the residents of [[Free Country, USA]], though it is unclear exactly which sports he coaches. He has a strong accent, based on an [[Wikipedia:Upper Midwest|Upper Midwestern]] [[Wikipedia:North Central American English|accent]] (though it is also sometimes simply nonsensical) which is sometimes difficult for other characters to understand. While occasionally tiresome, he is always ready to offer encouragement and is rarely critical of anyone. When giving advice, he tends to start with the phrase "You can't just rush into the score zone", which has lost its meaning through time.

Coach Z wears a blue and purple baseball cap and a large gold Z emblem around his waist. Nobody knows for sure whether his bright green color is his skin or a body suit. However, [[Middle School Variation#Baby Coach Z|baby Coach Z]] seems to be wearing footy pajamas in the email [[highschool]], and on more than one occasion, Coach Z has mentioned his [[pants]]. In [[shapeshifter]], Coach Z referred to his outfit as his "sweaty sweat-sweats", which was seen to have at least one pocket. His head is a white sphere with light gray circles for eyes. Coach Z [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Coach Z's Face|lacks a visible nose and mouth]], but is able to talk, eat and spit with ease. He has long arms and large feet, but very short legs.

[[Image:Coach z butt.PNG|thumb|An unshaven Coach Z talking about his butt.]]
As Coach Z himself is not afraid to admit, he's got [[Who Said What Now?|more than two problems]]. Despite being a coach, he doesn't know what a basketball is, as indicated in [[secret recipes]]. It has been strongly implied that he has a crush on [[Marzipan]], and he has occasionally made inappropriate comments about her; [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0#Message 6|one occasion]] [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|on her answering machine]] when he was drunk, and another during the commercial break of the 4Tst annual [[Fall Float Parade]]. In [[diorama]], Coach Z even refers to Marzipan as his "gorgeous girlfriend". He also has difficulty pronouncing certain words, such as "job" (as shown in the "[[A Jorb Well Done]]" cartoon), instead pronouncing it as "jorb", "jaerb", or "jorearb". In addition to his frequent mispronunciations, Coach Z also seems to have mental and gender confusion problems, as evidenced by the time he spent "talking to his parents" on a [[disconnected telephone]], and claiming to be a mother in [[garage sale]]. He has even stated on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0|one occasion]] that he sometimes "forgets what's real, and what's just in [his] head". He has an apparent fixation with butts, and he seems to have a habit of [[butt-patting]]. Many characters see him as a nuisance. Even Homestar treated Coach Z with contempt in [[Decemberween Short Shorts]], quickly refusing to allow Coach Z to come to his house for [[Decemberween]].

When not working as a coach, Coach Z works with [[Homestar Runner]] and [[Bubs]] as the apparent [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|local law enforcement]] in [[Free Country, USA]]. Coach Z is also the janitor at [[the office]] where Homestar and [[Strong Bad]] work. He is paid on hourly wage and is clearly jealous that Strong Bad is paid on salary. He has also spent time [[Blubb-O's Commercial|dressed as the Blubb-O's Drive-Thru Whale]] mascot. Coach Z owns four [[Wikipedia:Tony Award|Tony awards]], suggesting that he may have a background in theatre. Despite his numerous jobs, Coach Z has trouble managing his money, causing his electricity to be shut off each year.

[[Image:Babycz.PNG|thumb|left|115px|The craptain of the foortball torm!]]
Coach Z is a fan of hip-hop and rap music, particularly the [[Wikipedia:Wu-Tang Clan|Wu-Tang Clan]]. He fancies himself a rapper as well: He released the single "[[These Peoples Try to Fade Me]]," which appeared on [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], his solo album, entitled "The Z Is All Up Ins", features the smash hit "[[New Boots|Hip Hop Dance]]", and his own rap song, "[[Rap Song]]" (featuring [[Peacey P]] and [[Tenerence Love]]). Although his usual rapping prowess consists mainly of "count[ing] to two over and over again," as explained in [[nightlife]], he once had a very successful career during his days in the [[Two-o Duo]].

[[Image:CoachZ3D.png|thumb|"Hey, watch where y'er pointin' that 3D!"]]
Coach Z's [[Ages of Characters|age]] is ambiguous, as he appears to be grown up when Strong Bad was a kid in the email [[stand-up]], while they both appeared to be babies in the email [[highschool]] (although this may simply be a product of Strong Bad's [[History According to Strong Bad|"doodle memory"]]). He is likely to be one of the older characters, since in [[caffiene]], Strong Sad's slaps provoke him to cry out "I'm just an old man!" and in [[slumber party]], Strong Bad refers to him, [[Bubs]], and [[The King of Town]] as "older kids."

Coach Z and [[Bubs]] [[Bubs and Coach Z's Relationship|had a falling out]] at one point, as [[Fall Float Parade]] shows us; Bubs makes a "Coach Z, you jerk!" float for the parade, and Coach Z retaliates by saying "Serves him right, then" when [[Strong Mad]] steals [[Bubs Concession Stand|his concession stand]]. In the email [[narrator]], it was shown that they had made-up and returned to having boring conversations about [[Bubs's napkins]]. However, in [[Most In The Graveyard]], when it is implied that Coach Z fancies Bubs' sister, Bubs beats him up. In the same toon, it is also revealed that Coach Z and Bubs may actually be very distant cousins, although Bubs finds this hard to believe.

==Coach Z's Accent==
The primary factor in his hilarity, Coach Z's Upper Midwestern accent has made him into a very quotable character.

The most commonly mispronounced sounds are long e (i.e. The Cheat) and the short o (job), which both come out as an "or" or "aer" ("The Chort", "jaerb").

[[Category:Word running gags]]

===Inconsistencies===

Evidence has suggested that Coach Z's accent may be bogus:
*After saying "track or trort" in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], Bubs gets on his case and he says "trick or treat" correctly. If given "Swedish Fish," said as "Swordish Forsh," Bubs gets on his case again and Coach Z says "It's a crowd-pleaser."
*In [[boring (really)]], while Strong Bad is writing his list of three-letter words, Coach Z interrupts him at the word "job", saying that "jorb is a four letters word."
*Coach Z says "The Cheat" immediately after "The Chort" in [[mascot]], though he speaks as though he's talking about two different people.
*In the DVD commentary for [[part-time job]], [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] exploits Coach Z's "accent" by implying that not only does Coach Z add the letter R to words, but now also likes to switch letters around sometimes, and in reply Coach Z partially admits to his accent being bogus.
*In [[cliffhangers]], in the process of his attempted unmasking of [[The Thnikkaman]], he says "secret sorcret" twice, referring to Thnikkaman's secret being revealed and his shame in having really bad hand-eye coordination.
*While playing [[Renaldo]] in [[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]], he pronounces "off" both correctly and incorrectly in the same sentence.
*In [[Loading Screens]], Coach Z's accent is much less pronounced than usual.

==Coach Z's "more than two problems"==

**He lives in a gymnasium locker room.
**He frequently has his power shut off because he [[Homestar Presents: Presents|forgets to pay his bills]].

'''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 tool with a very spiky end 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:''' You know, 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.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{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:''' 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 echos 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:''' 'Cuz 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}''

'''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 beside it. The explosion knocks the tree away and blows the roof clear of the house. Two shockwaves appear as part of the explosion. A ghostly image of the Female Lappy icon with fangs appears in the explosion.}''

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

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

'''COACH Z:''' Oooooor! Awwwwwr! 
'''BUBS:''' 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 it 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.

*There is no link to email Strong Bad in this email.

===Remarks===
* In [[virus]], the virus caused everything to become corrupted. As part of the corruption, Bubs' 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 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]].
*[[Onomatopoeia|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.
**Oddly enough, this toon appeared 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|spitting]].
*Coach Z's "Port Plus" was previously mentioned in [[Jibblies 2]], where he asked the [[Horrible 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".

*"Org-ethnic" is a [[portmanteau]] of "[[organic]]" and "ethnic".
*The image of a [[Lappy_486#Female_Lappy_486|Female Lappy]] with [[Fangs|fangs]] in the explosion could be a reference to the ghosts of the [[Tandy 400]] and [[Compy 386]], as seen in the end of [[retirement]].
**The fanged Lappy itself appeared previously in [[SBCG4AP]], when you [[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. (redesign had been released after an 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.

== Easter Eggs ==

Shouldn't someone include the Easter Eggs? I myself have not found any of them, but there may still be some. [[User:Chapien|chapien (approved by Homsar!)]] 18:42, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
:That's why it's not on the page. No one has found any yet, and there probably isn't any in the cartoon as of now (at least). {{User:DevonM/sig}} 18:50, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

== Big Toon ==

Shouldn't it be noted that this is the first big toon since 2007? I think that's kind of improtant...
:I suppose it's a bit notable, but I'm not sure it merits a mention on the page. The gap between [[A Dumpy Tale]] and [[Weclome Back]] was similar (11 months), but is not mentioned anywhere on the pages. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 19:59, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

they said is wasnt one
: On the main page, before its release, sure. But the Toons menu lists it among the big toons (as in, not Shorts). --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:36, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

:::::I think it is supposed to be a hamster ball. But, I agree with Jay. It was not any specific ones.[[User:Origonalname]]

== Cape Tedaverill? ==

There have been a couple of (admittedly poorly worded) attempts to put on the page the fact that the name Ted Averill is a play on Canaveral. I have to say I'm inclined to agree, considering the space launch connection and all. Does anyone else feel similarly? (Though I note that this is not the only place where the name appears, so I don't know if this is the best place to note it). -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.151.26|132.183.151.26]] 01:51, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
:[[space program|The first time he appears]], it's said in such a way that no one would make the connection, so i'm inclined to say no. Also, it's a poor rhyme. If that was their intention, they could do so much better. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:53, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
:I also happen to think it's a reference. The sound-alike quality is definitely more pronounced in Career Day, but I think it's clear enough in Space Program as well. I know there's no way to prove it, but I remember making that connection the first time I saw Space Program; I just never got around to checking its wiki entry.[[User:Some kind of scientist|Some kind of scientist]] 18:33, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

== McWhat Nebula? ==
I'm hearing McCow-Pie Nebula rather than McAlpine Nebula. No? It's funnier.
{{User:Funhaver}}
:I heard it as "cow pie" the first time, but after reading the transcript and listening closely, i must conclude that, sad though it may be, it's "MacAlpine." {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 02:45, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
:I think the "Mc" and the "Al" sounds are blending together to get the "McCow" sound. It sounded somewhat like that when I watched it, too. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 03:46, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
::I think it was supposed to sound like cow pie. It was really said as McAlpine, but meant to sound like cow pie. {{unsigned|Origonalname|18:28, 23 May 2009 (UTC)}}

== Buck the System ==
It's probably just because I am a huge SOAD fan, but when Strong bad said "Bucking the System" I instantly thought of the System of a Down song "F*ck the System." Anyone else think this? Just wondering if it should be on the real world references page.--[[User:Shaokahn280z|Shaokahn280z]] 19:09, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
[http://www.google.com/search?q=bucking+the+system google results] show that it's a pretty common phrase. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:28, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
:It could be a reference to the song, or it could just be a reference the saying. [[User:Origonalname]]

== Space: Defined by Scientists as the... ==

When Strong Bad says this while in the shows the space capsule, I believe the way he says this is a refrence to "Space: The Final Frontier", from Star Trek. Should someone add this to the page as a refrence?
:I thought of it as well, but i figured it might be too vague. I'm on the fence. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:56, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
::I don't think this was a reference. I think it was just a joke, and had nothing to do with Star Trek {{unsigned|Origonalname|18:30, 23 May 2009 (UTC)}}

== Blowin' in the Wind ==

A fact that's been removed from the page several times now involves the fan, which is being used similarly to in [[magic trick]]. Looks like a valid fact to me — it's basically the same joke, using the fan to make clothes blow around dramatically — but what do you say? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:39, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
:Since I was the one who added the fact, I know I don't have to say I agree, but I'm gonna say it just to acknowledge your post with the other users that will be looking at the recent changes over the next hour or so :) {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 22:59, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

== whating the system? ==

Is it me, or is "Bucking the System" a reference to a cuss word?--[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 19:53, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
:It's you. As noted above in a different section, "buck the system" is a [http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/buck+the+system common phrase] with [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/buck no etymological relation] to the rhyming cuss word. -[[User:Alun Clewe|Alun Clewe]] 20:20, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
::I instantly though that as well when I first saw this. "Buck" was definatly used in a similar sence as f*. And this isn't the first time I've seen them use "Buck" instead of f*. {{unsigned|Origonalname|18:25, 23 May 2009 (UTC)}}

== Miles and miles of the spaceman styles... ==

The chin-curlies on Space Captainface's..er...face struck me as being similar to that of [http://blog.thedebianuser.org/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/buzz.jpg Buzz Lightyear]. Most likely a case of TTATOT, but just thought I'd throw it out there.

:I'd say either [[HrWiki:Glossary#T|TTATOT]], or just a buttchin to make him look more different.--[[User:T3H CH3K7 888|T3H_CH3K7_888]] 23:42, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

== Toothpick through the gerbil ball ==

I noticed while watching for the 18th time today that Strap's toothpick goes through his gerbil ball... thing while in space. Why isn't this a Goof? -Corruption (logged in = 0)
:The toothpick is too far out of the gerbil ball (in fact, it looks like it's ''completely'' outside the ball) for it not to have been an intentional style choice, which would make it not a goof. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:02, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
::I don't belive it was an exact goof, but I definitely think it wasn't on purpose. If that makes any sense. {{unsigned|Origonalname|18:34, 23 May 2009 (UTC)}}

== Homsar laughing ==

Let me get this straight - there's an entire ARTICLE dedicated to instances of Strong Bad smiling (a fairly common occurrence), a mention of the Poopsmith singing on-screen, and heck - even a mention of Homestar making a (borderline) grammatical error, but there's no mentioning the very first time Homsar unambiguously laughs at something?

What the heck are these sections FOR if not for pointing out something noteworthy and out of the ordinary? Homsar is a character that's known for being seemingly oblivious to what's going on around him (albeit in a ambivalent sort of way), so this is a COMPLETE departure for him as a character. To suggest anything else is nothing short of absurd. The mention of this unprecedented event should stay, or at the very LEAST be put up for a vote. [[User:0rion|0rion]] 22:59, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
:I think it's notable only if we can clearly hear him. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 23:05, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
::I can hear him, and, to me, it sounds kind of like a more-wavering version of his "AaAaaAAaa!" — {{User:Fotoshop/sig}} 23:08, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
:::There is, however, a [[Talk:isp#There's a first time for everything|precedent for removing facts like this]]. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 23:09, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
::::That fact says there were 2 times before when Bubs laughed a little. This fact says this is the 1st time Homsar laughed at all. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 23:14, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
:::::From the arguments: <blockquote>"First time" facts should be reserved for truly momentous firsts. Laughing out loud is not such a first, especially when we can infer that he has laughed out loud before, albeit off camera.</blockquote> I'm taking the bit from before the "especially" as the precedent here. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 23:17, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
::::::Laughter in and of itself is unremarkable (after all, the littlest, tiniest babies can laugh), so there needs to be something special about Homsar if his laughter is to be included in the article. 0rion claims that this is a complete departure of Homsar's character, which would indeed be notable if it were true. But is it?
::::::    Let's examine the underlying point. I would have no problem with the following fact: "This is the first time Homsar has had an emotional reaction in response to something another character has said," except for one thing—it's completely false. Homsar was "crying on the inside" when he was mistakenly disqualified from the Strong Sad lookalike contest in [[impression]]. Furthermore, looking at his various appearances, he is ''not'' always oblivious to what's going on (some would actually claim he [[Analysis of Homsar's speech patterns|never is]]), it's not a departure for his character (or if it is, it's not the first time such a departure occurs), and even though this is the first time we specifically see him laughing, the underlying emotional reaction is not unprecedented. Thus, this isn't a notable first. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:10, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
:::::::Wow. I can't belive you people are becoming so worked up about this. Yes, this is the first time Homsar laughs on screen but seriously. this is a wiki, not a baby book. characters have laughed befor, and had no one make a note of it. I think a first laugh by a character is no where near as important as you all are making it seem. [[User:Origonalname]]

== Mazipan's Teeth'd? ==

I noticed that Marzipan's teeth show more often in this toon, as well as in [[Kick-A-Ball]]. Does this, by any chance, count as further Marzipan evolution? {{User:Religious Corn/sig}} 20:24, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

:I don't know, maybe. [[User:MICGAGUH]]
::I saw some noticeable difference in her eyes. I think Marzipan's eyes have evolved a little bit, but not her teeth. [[User:Origonalname]]

== Well shut his mouth. ==

Strong Bad says in [[Homestar Runner Presents: Presents]] "Well shut my mouth" as a phrase that seems to mean "That's something I never expected to see happen". This combined with the fact that he has never before seen having an truely shut mouth makes me wonder: Should it be noted that this is the first time Strong Bad shuts his mouth, ableit only in cartoon form? --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 23:01, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

== Mixed Art Styles ==

Should it be remarked that Ted Avarill was drawn by hand and then his mouth was added later using vector art? If you zoom in, you can clearly see that everything besides his mouth is pixelated. --[[Special:Contributions/141.224.237.41|141.224.237.41]] 23:05, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

I noticed that in the Youtube version of this toon, Ted Averill's shot after the rocket takes off is cut short. It stops as he says "oh" in "oh, mostly dang, looks like I'm fired again". Any possible explanation for this? Fun fact, anyone?
:It probably should be noted in a YouTube Version section, similar to DVD Version, especially since the short hasn't made a DVD appearance yet. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 02:03, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

:I agree. Gonna remove it. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:41, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
::<s>I'll un-bold the "green apple" part</s>, but the rest of the bottles were labeled with only colors. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 20:24, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
:::Oh. I see it's already done. Thanks! {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 20:25, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

== Capitals ==

I suggest we capitalize the "flavored" in this article. {{User:Sam the Man/sig}} 15:46, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
:Actually, I think it should be hyphenated, myself. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 15:50, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
::I think the name should be left as-is. TBC didn't use any hyphens when naming their flavorings, and we should follow that convention. Now, whether hyphen or no hyphen is gramatically correct (I don't think either is gramatically ''in''correct), or whether it should follow TBC format or the gramatically correct format, is a slightly different issue. At worst, we can provide hyphenated redirects. (<nowiki>[[Color-flavored]], [[Red flavored]], [[Red-flavored]]</nowiki>, etc.)--[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:20, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

== Diet Brown ==

I found out there's a soda called Dr. Brown, the name is probably funnier if you don't know about that and assume it's just named after its color.

== Past-urama ==

I find this trend of color flavoring suspiciously similar to the dialogue of Fry in Futurama, specifically when he says "Did everything just taste purple for a second?" in [[Wikipedia:The Why Of Fry|The Why of Fry]]. Since the Chapos have referred to Futurama before, such as the Poopsmith's Zoidberg costume in [[Most In The Graveyard]], would this be relevant enough to be a real-world reference?

Showdown

96.234.74.23: It's not 'wich' unless there's 'sand' first.

[[Image:Showdown.png|thumb|Feel the burn]]
"'''Showdown'''" is a training song to which several characters have worked out.

==Lyrics==
Guts, guts and might 
Liftin' weights and feelin' all right 
It's a showdown! 
Going downtown! 
You're gonna mess around 
Showdown! 
Put your nose down 
Showdown! 

==Limozeen Full Version==
Guts, guts and might 
Liftin' weights and feelin' all right! 
It's a showdown! 
Going downtown! 
You're gonna mess around 
Showdown! 
Put your nose down 
Showdown! 

Strength, strength and grease 
Heading down to the GNC! 
It's a showdown! 
Going downtown! 
You're gonna mess around 
Showdown! 
Put your nose down 
Showdown! 

It's Wet! 
Wearing a Speedo 
Living it up! 
It's a showdown! 
Going downtown! 
You're gonna mess around 
Showdown! 
Put your nose down 
Showdown! 

Guts, guts and might 
Liftin' weights and feelin' all right! 
It's a showdown! 
Going downtown! 
You're gonna mess around 
Showdown! 
Put your nose down 
Showdown! 

==Fun Facts==
*General Nutrition Centers or [[Wikipedia:General Nutrition Centers|GNC]] is a chain of stores that focus on selling weight loss, bodybuilding and nutritional supplements.
*At the end of a live performance of Showdown Limozeen's lead singer said "My arms are tired!" which is similar to [[The Beatles]]' drummer, Ringo Starr, saying "I've got blisters on my fingers!" at the end of Helter Skelter.

They are located at the top right corner of most [[Main Pages]], and generally change color (and sometimes wording) when rolled over or clicked. The entries are displayed using the font [[Fonts#Potrzebie|Potrzebie]]. This article lists all known messages featured on the Main Pages.

'''Page Title:''' Climb Aboard the Style Train!

==Transcript==
''{It's [[The Show]]! There's a big pumpkin up on the marquee. Homestar stands in the middle of the set as a crowd cheers with semi-enthusiasm.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Welcome back, gentlemadies! Without further Mountain Dew, let's get this style train a-rollin'!

''{A short tune plays in the background. Cut to a close-up on Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' First up, brand-new for 2009—

''{Cut to a slideshow with flashing lights around the edge and the words "Fadey Screen!" in the background. A image of a pumpkin with Coach Z's logo from [[redesign]] carved into it comes from the left of the screen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —it's the 2006 Coach Z logo!

''{The crowd cheers again as music plays.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let's go to the ding board for that one.

''{Cut to a board with three flipping panels that together form an image of a large blue ribbon. Across the top panel is the word "Ding!". The middle panel rotates to reveal "3rd Style!" as it dings.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Third Style!

''{An "Ahh..." rises from the crowd. Cut back to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If our next pumpkin answers insurrectly, it'll win a trip to—

''{The next pumpkin is revealed; it's a shouting, wingaling Homestar Runner with angry eyebrows. The crowd begins to cheer.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —Angry Homestar Between Two Mountains!

''{Cut back to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Everyone, please give a warm hand to our next guest pumpkin—

''{The Fadey Screen shows a pumpkin of Thy Dungeonman holding up a bag of candy instead of ye flask. The words ">get ye candy" are carved across the top. The lights flicker out and the glowy inside of the pumpkin is visible.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thy ''{pronounced like "thigh"}'' Dungeonman.

''{"Aw yeah..." is heard from the crowd along with clapping. Cut to the Ding Board.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ding board says—

''{The middle panel flips to reveal "ACAPULCO".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Acapulco!

''{The crowd oohs. Cut back to the Fadey Screen.}

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' While this pumpkin—

''{A picture of a painted Strong Bad pumpkin with yellow smoke emanating from its mouth and eyes appears. Near it is a bottle labeled "Very Hot Ones"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —features fine European yellow smoke, I'm sorry—

''{Cut to Homestar. He looks mildly upset.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —no paint daubs.

''{A buzzer is heard as "NO PAINT DAUBS!" appears in red in front of Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ladies look out for our next bachelor pumpkin—

''{Cut to the Fadey Screen, and the [[Striped Green Rabbit]] from [[New Boots]] is carved in a pumpkin. As Homestar continues, the ladies get excited.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —a striped green rabbit with two butts!

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar, who looks embarassed}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Our next pumpkin may contain material that is unsuitable for childrens:

''{Cut to the slideshow showing a grotesque, poorly sculpted pumpkin with Homestar's face carved on it. It begins to speak.}''

'''CREEPY PUMPKIN HOMESTAR:''' ''{in a garbled, nasaly voice}'' HELLO HOMESTAR, THANKS FOR HAVING ME—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' {hastily cutting in in front of the pumpkin} I'm sorry, we're out of time. ''{suddenly chipper}'' Ding board?

''{The ding board dings and displays "DONG!".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Donnnng!

''{Cut to Homestar, who looks annoyed}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{irritated}'' Next time—

''{Cut to a pumpkin with [[Peacey P]] and his logo painted on it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —please phrase your pumpkin in the form of—

''{Cut back to Homestar. He leans in angrily toward the camera.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —NO PAINT DAUBS!

''{"NO PAINT DAUBS!" reappears in front of Homestar, with the buzzer and a "lose" musical cue. Cut to a wide shot of the studio.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And finally, everyone in today's audience—

''{Cut to a pumpkin with the [[Homestarmy]] "DO YOU HAS?" slogan and Col-o-nel Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —gets to have to give me five bucks!

''{"FIVE BUCKS!" appears as Homestar says it. The crowd gives a very dissastified cheer; cut to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Until next time, as always—

''{The words "Chant Words Together!" as they're chanted.}''

'''HOMESTAR AND CROWD:''' CHANT! WORDS! TOGETHER!

''{Cut back to the slideshow, which displays a pumpkin shaped like [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]. The following words are on the screen as Homestar speaks.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{quickly}'' Homestar Runner's wardrobe furnished by Bubs' Concession Stand—

''{Cut to a pumpkin shaped like Bubs inside a pumpkin shaped like Bubs' Concession Stand. The subtitle updates to include the word "scary".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —and Scary Bubs' Concession Stand.

''{Cut to a [[Homestar Jr.]] (going for 99¢) pumpkin. The subtitle is "Brought to you by the Homestar Jr."}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Today's program was brought to you by the Homestar Jr.—

''{Cut to a pumpkin with an artist's painting palette behind a "NO" circle with a line through it, labeled "Council Against Paint Daubs".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —and the Council Against Paint Daubs.

''{Fade out. Fade back in to show "Today's Big Winners!": Natalie Cunningham (Thy Dungeonman), Jonathan Berner (wingaling Homestar), Andrew Colbert (Homestarmy), Benjamin Visness (Coach Z new logo), and Prentice Osborne (Striped Green Rabbit with two butts).}''

96.234.74.23 — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 21:09:16 GMT

96.234.74.23: Speculation about supposed family relations among Blue Laser Minions

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

== Get back to work, guys. ==

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

: I've listened to it several times, and I believe this is true. I'm gonna change it. It also makes makes sense since Crackotage and Silent Rip are actually working [[User:Javaguy78|Javaguy78]] 14:10, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
:: Sounds reasonable to me. Listening again, I hear "Charles" too. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 14:13, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== Does this mean... ==
...that next week there is gonna be another Cheat Commando's? [[User:MICGAGUH]]
: Given the [[retirement|last time]] we had a two-part toon? Might be tomorrow. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:41, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== white screen ==

<blockquote>A decompiler, a Flash Seek Bookmarklet, or the Greasemonkey script reveals a white screen before the TV Easter egg can be accessed.</blockquote>

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

:Definitely notable, but seemingly unintentional. Seems like a goof or a remark to me. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:21, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
::Things like this have been remarked before, such as the [[mile|dancing feet]] or the extra frames in [[Not the 100th Email!!!|Not the Hundredth E-mail]]. -[[User:MNGoldenEagle|MNGoldenEagle]] 21:34, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== Doorbell ==

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

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

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

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

::::But look at [[Donut Unto Others]]. A common tune was used in that toon as well, and that was put in Real World Refs. [[User:Monkeytender|Monkeytender]] 22:50, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
Yeah guys, that doorbell was totally awesome! It sounds familiar though. [[User:Fingerface|Fingerface]] 23:54, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

== With a vengeance ==

The credits say this show was "written with a vengeance by A.Chimendez". We already know he and Crack Stuntman have creative differences and that Gunhaver was nearly written off the show because of it. Now, in this episode, Gunhaver is fired. Am I on to something? [[User:TJDevil02|TJDevil02]] 02:51, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
:I think you're right. This needs to be discussed further. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 03:31, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

== All Ashore ==

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

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

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

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

== 3 for 1 ==

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

== Gasp! ==

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

== Section? ==

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

== Extra Melty? ==

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

== Oh yeah! Them. ==

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

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

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

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

source: The Simpsons: The Itchy and Scratchy and Poochy Show.

See what I mean? I just don't know how to word this so it makes sense in the article. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 23:21, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

:Well, exposition has to happen to some degree in ''all'' fiction, and there are only so many ways to do it. I don't see how this case is a reference to any other instance of it. It doesn't really even seem to be poking fun at the sometimes-ridiculous expository dumps that happen pretty often in serial cartoons / sitcoms / etc. It's just TBC using a little humorous dialog as a way of legitimately needed exposition for us, much the same way any other fiction would. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 23:36, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

== Right-Click Menu ==

You can rewind!!!!! GASP! {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 15:06, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
:Yeah... You can do that in all of the flash files. It's nothing, really. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 15:12, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
::I meant on the actual site page, not the SWF file itself. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 19:23, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

== g focrei s same execpt for the bad resturant deal ==

Homestar saying hamsters instend of chat is Disney movie G-Force
:You're saying that Homestar confusing the words "cheat" and "hamster" is from the Disney movie G-Force? Well, I've never seen the movie (and even if I had, I wouldn't remember one line), but feel free to add it! {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 23:22, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

== Crackotage NOT Rhyming? ==

Did anyone else notice how at the end of the toon, Crackotage doesn't even pretend to rhyme? I mean, even in Commandos in the Classroom, he still talked with a funny rhythm like he normally does, but here he actually speaks normally every scene after they're kicked out of the Cheat Commandos.--[[Special:Contributions/76.197.56.155|76.197.56.155]] 06:29, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
:Hmm, you're right, but I'm not sure it's noteworthy. Is rhyming, like, part of his job?? I don't know. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 12:56, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
:: I sar that too. I've never seen that guy not rhyming.

== Homestar's Brim ==
Is it just me, or does the brim of Homestar's hat in the easter egg look odd? [[User:Man-o-man|Man-o-man]] 17:45, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

== Flash file deleted? ==

I tried to watch this 'toon, but it just showed a white square and the navigation bar under it. When I tried to go to the flash file, it just led me to the "404'd" page. Did TBC delete the flash file? I'm pretty sure that this isn't because of my computer because when I went to [[2 Part Episode: Part 2]], it showed the 'toon. --[[User:Particleman24|Particleman24]] 00:05, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
:It's not just your computer. It's not loading for me either, and 404'd for the Flash File. Does this mean that they're going to combine the episodes? I dunno. {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 00:10, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
::Seriously, what's going on? Should I add this to the page? {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 00:51, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
:::It's working fine for me. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 00:52, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
::::Both the flash file AND the normal toon? {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 00:54, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
:::::It's working for me, too. Both the Flash file and the normal toon (which are the ''same'' .swf) load properly. — {{User:Fotoshop/sig}} 01:16, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
::::::No, I'm having the same problem, even after clearing my cache and trying two different browsers. For those of you where it does work, try clearing your cache and let us know if it still works. --[[User:Spiralagnus|Spiralagnus]] 01:22, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

::That's probably it. Strange, though... {{User:Theycallmefree/sig}} 17:04, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

:::I'm trying to watch this toon, but the sites not working. go try it real fast and tell me.

::::Me neither [[Special:Contributions/98.243.177.127|98.243.177.127]] 06:51, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

It has been [[Talk:Quote_of_the_Week#Quote_download|theorized before]] that the H*R site is hosted on multiple servers, with a load balancer to distribute between them. I think this is a pretty likely theory, and if the file was for some reason removed from one of the servers but not the other(s), that would explain why it randomly works for some people but not others. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 13:53, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

In the second easter egg with the Blue Laser minions
BLUE LASER MINION 1: You think '''dad''' just forgot to pick us up?

BLUE LASER MINION 2: You know he doesn't like it when we call him that.

Do you think that It's true?

I have the exact opposite oppinion. I think that the egg denies the rumors he is. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 14:29, 25 June 2009 (UTC).
:I think it's relevant to address the question here, as if the egg implied he actually was a father, we'd want to at least note it on BLC's page. However, I don't think there's anything in the egg definitive enough to make that conclusion (and I agree with Jellote that it leads more credence to the opposite). -[[Special:Contributions/128.103.10.135|128.103.10.135]] 15:31, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Isn't this a reference to the ending scene from Battlestar Galactica ("You know [God] doesn't like that name")?
[[Special:Contributions/71.241.148.116|71.241.148.116]] 03:23, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

I see a different connection in this. Could these two minions be "The Twins" from [[Shopping For Danger]]? And if so, does that make them around four years old? And if so, does that mean that The Cheat species can mature much faster than humans can?

== Buh-buh-buh, wuh-wuh-wuh, zuh-zuh-zuh... ==

It should be significant that when Gunhaver says "wuh-wuh-wuh" he holds his arms up like a W, and when he says "zuh-zuh-zuh" he bends them like a Z. The joke doesn't make sense if he's just ''{shaking}''.

Herman Jacob Mankiewicz (November 7, 1897—March 5, 1953) was a Polish-American legendary Hollywood screenwriter. ... Joseph Leo Mankiewicz (February 11, 1909â€“February 5, 1993) was a Jewish-Polish-American Hollywood screenwriter, director and producer. ...
:"As of 2006, Mankiewicz is one of the hosts of the liberal talk show The Young Turks. On weekends, he also presents classic movies on the American cable television channel Turner Classic Movies."

== hremail 24 ==

I was wondering if [http://www.homestarrunner.com/hremail24 hremail 24] was a reference to [[sbemail 22]].

It seems to me that Strong Sad's 'Pills' are becoming a recurring theme/inside joke, as Homestar said 'I accidentally took some of Strong Sad's Pills" while referring to [[long pants]]. In [[funny]] SS asked SB if he took his "pills' again. I think they deserve a page on the wiki. -Mooman72v2

They Might Be giants had a t-shirt around the Mink Car era that listed all of their song titles with the band name in the middle (that, just out of coincidence, I happen to be wearing right now), in a style that is nearly identical to the last frame of this email.

In the transcript (as well as the subtitle articles), Strong Sad "rolls" the "r" when saying "hremails." But it sounded like he's making a long, hard "h" sound when he says it.

I'm kinda uneasy about deleting this one, since brianrietta was an early Tandy era email, before TBC really started updating sbemails alot, so a huge delay in the Lappy era is quite notable, and email thunder's delay is only a week shorter than brianrietta's... is there a better way to word this and make it trivia? {{User:That_game_dude386/sig}} 16:59, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

== "Strong Bad, how do you keep getting in here?" ==

There is sort of a reversal of rolls here. Usually Homestar gets into Strong Bad's house and Strong Bad asks how Homestar got in because HE is checking HIS email.

== Okay Fine! When will "it" happen? ==

It may be months before we either get A) another sbemail OR B) Official Confirmation that this is the end of sbemail. And knowing TBC, we may never get either of these. I keep trying to add a fact that states basically that this is either the longest delay between sbemails ever or that this is the last sbemail. One of these two facts is true and it has already reached noteworthy status. We will either get an email in which case this will be the longest delay on record, or we won't get an email in which case this is the end. But if the latter is the case, what sign are we looking for? When can we expect that sign? And how many more times is my edit going to be undone?

This is, in fact, the last sbemail. It is confirmed in the DVD commentary. There will be no more sbemails.

'''MATT:''' A millstone, Mike, a Millstone coffee. This email is like a cup of Millstone coffee.

'''MIKE:''' So, we still really haven't decided if there'll be more sbemails or not.

'''MATT:''' Oh, I've decided.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, there won't be.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' There won't be?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that's— we're done.

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

And

'''MATT:''' It's too bad this is the last email we're ever making.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' For sure, I decided right now, for certain, never again.

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Sorry.

'''MIKE:''' I bet by the time this DVD's out we will have made one already.

'''MATT:''' No.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Alright.

'''MATT:''' I'm holdin' out.

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

== Tigger? ==

What evidence is there that tail worn by Homestar when dressed up as Coach Z is a "Tigger" tail, rather than just a tiger tail? Tigger's tail looks pretty much just like a normal tiger tail, except that as I remember the Disney toons, Tigger's tail is characteristically ''flat'' on the end. The one in this toon is rounded. According to the DVD Commentary transcript, they refer to it as a tiger tail, and don't say anything about Tigger. I don't have the DVD, so I'm assuming the transcript here is accurate. If TBC did indeed say "Tigger" on the commentary, well that's indisputable. If they didn't, calling that tail a Tigger tail is total conjecture.

== A Question ==

Doesn't Homestar clearly tell Strong Bad about his e-mail show in Hremail 7? I know that Hremail 7 was made after this toon, but it was supposed to be, you know, like a parody of early toons made back in 2001 and all.

== NavBar ==

Can someone change to navbar so that instead of some kinda robot it links to Hremail 3184? {{User:Open Source Greg/sig}} 08:59, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

== Whoa, Big head! ==

Is it just me, or is Strong Bad's head bigger than usual in this one? I checked the size and his head is the same size as Homestar is from his cap (excluding buzzer) to the start of his shirt. Now, if I remember correctly, his head's usually been half (or more) that size. This could be added to Glitches or Fun Facts, though I needed to check if it's true before it's added.

Thanks,

:Well, exposition has to happen to some degree in ''all'' fiction, and there are only so many ways to do it. I don't see how this case is a reference to any other instance of it. It doesn't really even seem to be poking fun at the sometimes-ridiculous expository dumps that happen pretty often in serial cartoons / sitcoms / etc. It's just TBC using a little humorous dialog as a way of legitimately needed exposition for us, much the same way any other fiction would. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 23:36, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

How da heck are you supposed to use this thing? [[User:209.221.24.157|209.221.24.157]] 21:46, 24 Oct 2004 (MST)

Measure your pumpkin and decide how big you can/want to make the carving. Make sure you leave an inch or two on the edge so your pumpkin (in my case, a Cheat O' Lantern!) is stable. Then size the stencil to your measurements and trace the stencil - I used a thick-bladed knife to cut out the stencil while pressed against the pumpkin (thick blade so you can see the cuts). Do the normal pumpkin carving stuff, cut the topp off and clean 'er out. Then cut all the way through your stencil tracings and you've got an H*R Pumpakin! --[[User:Southpaw018|Southpaw018]] 21:58, 24 Oct 2004 (MST)

If you click on one of the pumpkins then exit the stencil editor the pumpkin you clicked on stays big(Like when you hold the cursor over it.). You can get every pumpkin to be large by doing the same thing to every pumpkin.

== Where We're Going We Don't Need... Bad Graphics ==

I found a goof in the 2009 version. When you click on all the pumpkins, and then click on the Devil Homestar stencil, the Bad Graphics Ghost appears to fill it in, but it instead floats in front of the conveyor belt below it and does not fill in the pumpkin since it was never filled in.

== You don't get an inside reference. ==

Okay, I just rewatched [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], and I even recorded Homestar's line for good measure, and the inflection in the two lines are COMPLETELY different. Honestly, listen to this [http://filebin.ca/ybzhqj] and then to this [http://filebin.ca/dwuuwd] and tell me what, besides the words, they have in common. In Pumpkin Carve-nival, Homestar puts more emphasis on "get" then he does here, his tone is much much MUCH lower, and also he's a lot more smooth (If you open the .OGGs with Audacity and look at the two tracks, the one from Pumkin Stencils has more peaks than the other). I think we should remove the inside reference to [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]]. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 23:33, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
:True, it's not a direct re-use of the old sound byte with the last two words altered, but it sounds like this is what they were going for. Given the other connections (haloween, pumpkin carving, etc.) i think it's strong enough for a reference. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:59, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

==The Homestar Runner==

:You're suggesting that they broke the pattern of Homestar being the one in the Easter Eggs by giving Peacey P a line that doesn't fit his character that much? True, The Homestar Runner and Peacey P sounds similar, but if you'll notice, there's a very slight metallic sound to The Homestar Runner's voice (probably an effect used by TBC). --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 23:05, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
::It's pretty unquestionably supposed to be The Homestar Runner. He speaks when you click on an Old-Timey character, and while the two kinda sound similar, they're not THAT similar.

I've been routinely saving the Flash file of [[HR:newbutton.swf|''newbutton.swf'']] for the past two years now. As a result, I have amassed quite a few over that time. If anyone's interested in having said files, I'd be happy to create a ZIP archive for the wiki's benefit. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 22:25, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

:Sure. That would be nice. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 22:41, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

::Exact dates are from 30 June 2004 through this afternoon. [http://www.strongfans.com/newbutton.zip I say there, Monstrosity! Do you know the times?] {{User:The Paper/sig}} 23:00, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

== Date-abase? ==

Wouldn't it be cool and useful if someone added the date of appearance for each of the "Special Cases" to the table? Because that someone is not me. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 18:38, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

== Email Soon ==

I pressed the "email soon" button [for the sbemail on march 13] and it led me to the 404'd page. Did this happen before? --[[User:Collin Diver|Collin Diver]] 01:09, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

:Not that I know of. As far as I know, it was never linked to anything in the past. Then last email, it linked to the [[Strong Bad Email]] menu, and this time I just pointed out on [[H*R.com updates 2007]] a few minutes ago that it linked to the [[404'd]] page. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 01:13, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

== Rolled Over ==

I added the "rolled over" section of the main page messages list but it was only used once for the old quote of the week button. So should i keep it or delete it? [[User:Homestar-winner|Homestar-winner]] 00:04, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
:I was pondering that myself... Maybe we could mention that it changed when rolled over to the "Notes" section. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 00:23, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
::I'll try that and see if it's better [[User:Homestar-winner|Homestar-winner]] 01:01, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
:::Well. I couldn't do it last night, but I just did it now, [[User:Homestar-winner|Homestar-winner]] 09:21, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

== Messages with the toon's name ==

It says up there that we don't record when the button is just the toon's name. Well, why not? Shouldn't the list be as complete as possible? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:54, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
:I agree {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:25, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
::I concur! {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 21:38, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
:::I guess now you want me to put back the crapload that I removed the other day. If others want those messages back, I'll try to see if I can. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 21:56, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
::::I added weclome back a long time ago but removed it after I read the 1st post. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 23:07, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

== 10% or 15% off? ==

I have all the necessary info for the "10% off sale!" button (it's orange), except I don't remember if it's "15%" instead of "10%." [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 17:37, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
:You could check the [[Store Front Page News 2007|Store Front Page News]] articles for details. I think it was 10. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 18:01, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

== Text Colors ==

Should we list the color of the text in EACH of the main page messages? I can only remember none. {{User:Mee/sig}}
:I can only see it not being black or white on the [[main pages]] page in the "puppetween" and "new main page" main page massage. I mean, message. {{User:Mee/sig}}

== Kick the Cheat button ==

If you click the button that reads "[[kick the cheat]] endangered" the position of the text won't change from where it was when you roll over the button.I also remember this happening on the "10% off sale" button. You can see it [[:Image:Newbutton Goof.png|here]], but it may be better just to see it [[HR:newbutton.swf|here]]. Should this be nited somewhere? {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 21:10, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

== Homestar's 13th Anniversary... or is it 15th? ==

No, I'm not denying that it's been 13 years, but the Main Page Message says "13% off sale!" on a blue button, and when you roll over it turns dark yellow. Here's what's weird. The button does nothing when clicked, and if you hold the mouse down, it says 15% off instead of 13% off. Should this count as part of the 10% sale or be a special case?

== "support the wiki" ==

The Chaps put up [[HR:main13.html|an ad]] for supporting this wiki today (8 October 2009), it comes after the "laptop skins" button. Would that be a special case?

=="Crapfully yours" a running gag?==
Is this a valid running gag? I wrote up a whole article on it (in particular referencing the email where he finally informed viewers that signing emails in that way was not required) and [[User:Jay|Jay]] deleted it in the middle of the night, instead of moving it here. This action is contrary to the idea of Wiki. The article is lost forever now, but at least we can decide if the decision was right and whether it should be reposted.
* The STUFF page is for Fun Facts, not deleted articles. Anyway, the "crap" page as it formerly existed was very disorganized and included many non sequiturs. And all those redirects were unnecessary even if we'd kept it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:07, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
** That is a matter of opinion... you haven't given any other Wiki users the chance to see it and decide for themselves. Plus, any issues would probably have been fixed by other users quickly. I think this one deserves a vote, and I'd like to know where to vote on it if not here?
*** Okay, fine. Reinstate [[Talk:Crap]] if it suits you. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:21, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' I don't even need to see the article in question to know what a load of crap it is. Its already noted in the 3 Wishes facts that Strong Bad doesn't like the "crap" signitures. A whole article is overkill. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*Yes, it's a running gag, but I don't think there needs to be a whole article about it. Maybe just list it in the running gags section or something. --[[User:Upset_Your_Balance|Upset_Your_Balance]] 14:24, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*It is a running gag and deserves its own page, though i agree the one that Jay deleted was poorly done. If 11.01 deserves its own page, <s>crafully yours</s> crap in all of its forms does as well --[[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 14:51, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*'''DELORTED!''' Crapfully yours, no. Crap, maybe. Ya, crap is a running gag. Crapfully yours isn't. That's like saying ''Dear Strong Bad'' is a running gag! [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 00:44, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== New version of "Crap" page ==

I actually did the work to create a new "Crap" page before noticing that there was already a discussion page on this topic. I made a big effort to ensure that the page is well-organized and useful. Please add to it and further organize the list - in the first draft, I didn't take the time to organize the references chronologically. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 23:59, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

:Holy.. Umm... Crap! This page existed since June last yeah and I didn't know about it? What the crap? Anyway, good job there Skunk dude. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 16:44, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
::Also, amusingly, there's now a [[Crapfully Yours]] Running Gag page. Goes to show how the opinions of a wiki can change over time! (See one notstrongorbad's rather purple "[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk:Sick_Day&diff=157523&oldid=157522 Wiki is a liquid]" rant back in Oct.) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 16:59, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Actually, see the discussion on [[Talk:Crapfully Yours]] - I had suggested combining that page with this one, though [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] managed to talk me out of that. Looking at the history of [[Crap]] (wow, that sounds like an interesting article!), the original version of this page was sorely lacking in both structure and substance, so I don't feel so much like I was duplicating work. :) Thanks for the feedback! {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 17:41, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about what I did in history.{{User:The thing/sig}} 22:13, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

== is crap a real swear word? ==

Well? [[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 08:49, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
:I would say most people would not call it a swear word, but some might. It is understood as somewhat impolite, though. It's the kind of word you'd expect Strong Bad to say, basically. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 08:53, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
::The linguistic term is something like "permissible expletive" (although that's not it exactly), and they are a phenomenon of all languages. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 08:57, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
:::More importantly, it's used all the time on the site, so we can use it here too. :) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:48, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Mighty Crap, people. Crap is just a filler for a word they can't use on the site.As is Freakin'.See also What in the name of Peter's Sammich.--[[User:Gir007|Gir007]] 21:21, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Well that all just depends. Like what your parents think of it. For instance, in my household, my parents think of it as a swear word. But I still say it anyways! So in short it all just depends. [[User:Sanjuro|Sanjuro]] 21:28, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Good point...It's allowed in my house..My mom says it ALL THE TIME.Strange, huh?--[[User:Gir007|Gir007]] 23:21, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

But does your mom type with boxing gloves on, Gir? Anyhow, I've lived my life under the impression that "crap was actually more severe than, um, ironicly enough I don't know if I can say "sh*t" on this talk page without offending people. --[[User:A Trendy Tote Bag|A Trendy Tote Bag]] 01:00, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
:I can't say for certain whether you'd offend anyone, but nevertheless putting that word on this talk page (and nearly every other talk page on this wiki) is against our policy. Also, this conversation is over ten months old. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:06, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

== Bolding ==

Would it be a good idea to bold all instances of the word "crap" on the page, so they'll be more noticeable and easier to find? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 00:48, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
:Anyone? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 21:18, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
::Nope, we tend not to bold stuff like this, and recently have been removing bold like that to make the pages more standardized. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:59, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

== Give "Cr***y" its own section? ==

That word seems to be said more frequently than [scrap - s] now. Is it time to add a different section and separate it from "Miscellaneous 'Crap'"? --[[User:Charlie Jr.|Charlie Jr.]] 16:21, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
:Cr***y?? [scrap - s]?? What, huh? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 16:31, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

::Sorry, just thought I'd be a little appropriate for a while. I'm referring to the fact that "crappy" is currently used more frequently than "crap." --[[User:Charlie Jr.|Charlie Jr.]] 16:35, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

== What the Crap? ==

Should "What The Crap" be a separate page? There are variations on it that don't use Crap, such as [[business trip]]'s "what the sense-make", and it's said frequently enough to be a separate page. [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes|"Is a miracle"]], or no?
