Modestly Hot Homsar

AAA! — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 10:28:43 GMT

AAA!: So? It's pretty obvious she was only made for different town. Heck, flashback isn't even mentioned in this article.

[[Image:modestly_hot_homsar.png|thumb|right|100px|She'll help you through the hard times.]]
'''Modestly Hot Homsar''' appears in the email "[[different town]]," and is said by Strong Bad to be a product of his temporarily broken imagination (at the time, he believed that the best thing in the world was beef stew). [[Strong Bad]] imagines [[Homsar]] to be a "modestly hot girl." Strong Bad sang, "And this little weirdo would be a modestly hot girl to help me through the hard times, you know, the kind that are only sort of hot so they don't mess around with other guys." Then Modestly Hot Homsar declared, "DaAaAa. I'm forever your girl."

According to [[Matt Chapman]] in the [[Giant Magazine Interview]], Modestly Hot Homsar's shape was based on a past [[Wikipedia:Miss America|Miss California]] whom he "traced fairly closely."

AAA!: /* Accurate? */

Nice project: I don't want to add anything you don't like, but here is my thoughts:
*"AaAaAaAaAaAaA!!! I'm saving the best for last!" - One scorpion goes into his mouth and I guess he likes to eat them.
*"I'm the ghost of Christmas past." - He is dressed as '''Ghost''' Dog, and mixing with another holiday.
*"And also with you." - He is insulted and tells Homestar that ''he'' doesn't get a ding in reply.
*"I do what I'm told..." - as you wrote: Strong Bad had just '''told''' him to get outta his house.
I don't have much time today to go over the transcripts you didn't add, so this is it for now. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 08:09, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

== I've brought my best foot flowered ==
I think "I've brought my best foot flowered" could make sense if he meant to say "I'm putting my best foot ''forward''", i.e., he's trying to make a good impression with his character video. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:49, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
:That's possible. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 06:48, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
:Makes lots of sense to me. [[User:Scalawag|Scalawag]] 21:28, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

== Something I'm missing? ==

This article seems unnecessary, very POV, and over-analytical, even for us. I wouldn't be sad to see it go, but, for the time being, I'm not putting a tbd notice on it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:05, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
:It was created to directly refute information contained both here and at Wikipedia. It furthers the project because it systematically analyzes a central trait of a central character. It's in the main namespace because it should belong to everyone (yes, works in progress on user subpages can technically be edited by anyone, but it's just not the same); that way, it can be improved upon and maintained by the whole community. It only seems POV because it seeks to draw conclusions, but the process by which it reaches those conclusions attempts to be objective. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:37, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
::We have an NPOV policy now? {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 21:25, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
:::I don't know whether it's ever been written as such on any policy pages, but it seems like a knowledge base should be as unbiased as possible. Occasionally "NPOV" can be seen in edit summaries as reasons for changing or removing something. As for the article, I think certain phrases could be reworded to be more straightforward and less of an opinion. I'll work on that a little now. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:39, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
:This article can go to really speculative levels, with all those interpatations. How do we know that The Brothers Chaps meant all that? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 21:51, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
::I disagree. I'm not saying there's no speculation; I'm just saying that it's based on observation and reason. We allow a certain amount of speculation in fun facts and articles as long as it's relevant and reasonable and if the article would suffer if we left it out. This research page does have a bit more latitude, but that's understandable given its scope. Although it does give an interpretation at the bottom (which, like everything else, can be edited according to consensus), by and large it just presents the facts. No one claims to be able to read TBC's minds, but as long as we don't invent wild, irrelevant theories, then we're good. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:24, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

:::My point in doing this analysis was, as It's dot com mentioned, to objectively observe what Homsar is saying and relate it to the scene in which he said it. In many cases, you can clearly see the connection between his statement and what's going on, and in the cases where that connection ISN'T clear (or there doesn't appear to be one at all), interpretation is limited mainly to "There doesn't appear to be a connection, but this sentence is syntactically valid/correct on its own", etc. I removed as much POV stuff from the article as I could when I moved it to the main namespace. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 23:04, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

: I'm taking another look at it, and... I want to say that maybe I feel stronger than before that this page is ridiculous. Half of Homsar's sentences have descriptions that say "This could make sense," frequently without describing how or by reaching for related words and twisting it a bit. Well, yeah... they could. So? They also very easily could be random nonsense. Por ejample:
::''"Nowowowow, this is the thrill of a lifetime."''
::''The other characters all said some variation of "Happy T!", but Homsar's line could still be construed to make some sense.''
:That this says that he could make some sense makes no sense, at least to me. Could you at least explain it a little? Is it because he's "thrilled" to be part of the Happy T stuff? Because he says three words that start with the letter "T"? Perhaps it's not a word salad because it would make sense in a totally different context, but in this context, it's meaningless as far as I can easily see. This page is trying to make insanity seem sane, to feign order in chaos, and to hear dialogue in ramblings. I don't believe it has any place in this Wiki. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:49, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
::Even if this ''is'' overanalytical, we can also argue that the entire wiki is pointless because it's all to analyze an internet cartoon. I bet TBC didn't even imagine that it would go this far. Not to say that I'm against this site, I find it endlessly amusing. —'''xo''' [[User:Scalawag|Scalawag]]

== It's time for tasteball ==

Homestar responds as though he's just informing them that they have to go do something right then. Seems pretty non-random to me. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 21:34, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
:Excellent point. I'm going to update the article. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:25, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
::It seems more to me that it's general Homsar's randomness, but Homestar's too obtuse to notice and thinks Homsar's serious... which would be in character for both of them... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 16:35, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

== Butterfly effect ==

What I'm about to say could easily be said on a lot of pages (and I don't intend it to be a forum-style topic), but it seems particularly appropriate here, given the amount of time and energy that have gone into the character of Homsar, both on TBC's part to create him, make him entertaining, and make merchandise about him, and on our part to enjoy it all and analyze obscure patterns in minute detail. What if Vinnie had been a better proof-reader? The world would be a vastly different place. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:02, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
:Wow... Really makes you think, eh? I never thought I'd be glad for misspellings... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::True, though if he didn't come about, Homestar would probably just be alot weirder to compensate, or something. I'm sure it would probably still be a pretty similar site. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:18, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
:::It would be weird. I mean, there would be no [[interview]], [[Strong Sad]] would be even more lonesome, and there would be no regular use for that "b-b-b-b-b-b-b" sound that Homsar makes while walking. I'm sure someone would have slipped up eventually, inadvertantly creating Hoesta or Ometar or something. --[[User:Jnelson09|Jnelson09]] 00:42, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
::::I would doubt that Vinnie's was the only email that misspelled Homestar's name; TBC probably picked his from a handful of emails containing mispellings, like "Homstar", "Hometar", etc. (this is somewhat speculative, though) {{User:Trey56/sig}} 20:40, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
:::::I still think his foil ought to be Stong Bad

== Strong Sad's Blog And An Email ==

What about in Strong Sad's Blog where Strong Sad writes that one day when he was talking to Homsar, Homsar kept saying, "When can we start the Jeffersons?" In the blog it's also mentioned that at a party Homsar told Strong Sad to hug a tree. While no quotes, it would be interesting to point out in summary that Homsar's language skills seem to let him organize a party. And finally, Strong Sad in [[2 emails]] tells Strong Bad that Homsar called and said he was a million ladies tall. -[[User:WarthogDemon|WarthogDemon]] 07:02, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

== Cleanup ==

I propose we have another look at this article for the sake of improving it. Last time people were regularly discussing it, there were some serious concerns as to its merit. I find this article to be very useful, but like some who have raised objections above, I am concerned about some sections of it. Quite simply, I think sometimes this article tries too hard to make sense of Homsar's sentences. As an example, this explanation of the phrase "I'm a million ladies tall":
<blockquote>
Not really a word salad as Homsar's statement could be interpreted as, "I'm as tall as any of those ladies."
</blockquote>
seems to me to be sretching it to the breaking point. I realise that part of this is because this study was originally made in order to refute the notion that Homsar speaks in word salads, but now that this point has been effectively made, I think the article needs to be reworked to a more neutral perspective. I intend to start work on this soon, and would value any help and input anyone would like to give. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 03:41, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
:OK, finally trying to do this. So, I made that last edit in the hopes of preserving the original analysis while changing the tone a bit so it doesn't sound as much like it's fishing for sense in Homsar's statements but rather acknowledges both what sense there is and that it still doesn't really fit the context. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:59, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

==I'll pay you tuesday==
This is a rephrasing of a quote from J. Wellington Wimpy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Wellington_Wimpy)
"I'd gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today"
So this puts Homsars quote into even more context.
--[[User:Gerkuman|Gerkuman]] 12:01, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
:We've always noted this quote as a Real World Reference, so I don't unstand the point that you are making. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 12:44, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
:: <s>That it's not mentioned on THIS page. The page implies that the comment was only slightly in context.</s> Oops, big mistake. Sorry Guys. --[[User:Gerkuman|Gerkuman]] 13:08, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

==Dinner Party==

Couldn't we also say that it's possible Strong Bad tricked our strange friend, by saying there was a dinner party, but it was just a "cliffhanger?" [[User: Dusk|Dusk]]
:No, that would be conjecture since noting backs that up. -[[User:WarthogDemon|WarthogDemon]] 00:40, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

==Thripshaw's Disease?==
Homsar's speech patterns seem to me to be inspired by a fictional disease: Thripshaw's Disease, from a Monty Python sketch. "Well as I say, you'd just be talking and out'll pudenda the wrong word and ashtray's your uncle. So I'm really strawberry about it." It's not identical, but it did seem very similar to me. -- [[User:Cronocke|Cronocke]] 10:07, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

== Accurate? ==
Is this article actually accurate? Some of these patterns are just what users believe in their opinion, and are not really facts, which means users might disagree with some of the descriptions in this, and may break out into an edit war. Is there any evidence on these speech patterns? --{{User:AAA!/sig}} 10:20, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

'''Modestly Hot Homsar''' appears in the email "[[different town]]," and is said by Strong Bad to be a product of his temporarily broken imagination (at the time, he believed that the best thing in the world was beef stew). [[Strong Bad]] imagines [[Homsar]] to be a "modestly hot girl." Strong Bad sang, "And this little weirdo would be a modestly hot girl to help me through the hard times, you know, the kind that are only sort of hot so they don't mess around with other guys." Then Modestly Hot Homsar declared, "DaAaAa. I'm forever your girl."

According to [[Matt Chapman]] in the [[Giant Magazine Interview]], Modestly Hot Homsar's shape was based on a past [[Wikipedia:Miss America|Miss California]] whom he "traced fairly closely."

== Transcript ==
''{Strong Bad and The Cheat are standing in the middle of the field. Strong Bad is holding a toy rocket on the end of a pump.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, The Cheat. This is gonna be bro-awesome. This thing's gonna shoot all the way up to Europa! And bring us back a couple of Europa-pean lobsters to grill up!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Excited The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right. ''{Pumping the pump}'' Three... two... one... ''{He releases the rocket and it falls onto the ground. Strong Bad stares at the sky}'' Look at it go! I can barely see it already an— ''{notices the rocket lying on the ground}'' Oh. That was nothing like the back of the box. ''{Shaking his fist at the sky}'' Where's my space lobster? ''{Turns to the cheat}'' You know what that means. ''{Rubs his hands together}'' It's time to employ... The Compress''or''!

''{Wipe to the same location later on. Strong Bad has attached a noisy air compressor to the rocket, which slowly grows bigger as more air is pumped into it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Three... Two... One...

''{The rocket flies into the air with a loud boom}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look at it go! ''{He runs after it}'' I can almost taste the buttery claw meats!

''{Strong Bad runs into a smiling plastic whale with a speaker in its teeth and falls down. A loud WANG sound effect is heard, along with a soft "Spluuurt" as he slides off}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Where'd you come from?

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' ''{Scratchy and difficult to understand voice}'' Would you like to try a combo meal?

''{Strong Bad stands up and dusts himself off}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{uncertain}'' Uh, sure. But no cheese, and, um, extra sauce?

''{The Cheat arrives}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Questioning The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't know. I think I just ordered a combo meal from this—

''{The camera cuts back a bit; no hint of a restaurant, other than the speaker, is seen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —invisible restaurant. You don't have any invisible cash, do you?

''{The Cheat puts his hands in his fur where pockets would be, and takes them out again as if holding money}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, you're loaded! ''{Strong Bad faces the speaker. Cut to view from inside the Drive-Thru Whale Speaker.}'' And, uh, let me get a crappy toy meal for my The Cheat here.

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' $9.17, sever your leg please, sir.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Cut back to view outside Drive-Thru Whale}'' Could you repeat that? ''{Shakes head}'' I thought you just asked me to sever my leg.

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' Sever your leg, please. It's the greatest day.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Incredulous}'' "Sever my leg"? "It's the greatest day"? I'm not sure I understand the transaction that's taking place here.

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' Please enter your password. ''{plays a tune while the water from the blow hole moves up and down}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' My The Cheat wants to know what your crappy toy is this week.

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' It's brown.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{To The Cheat}'' It's brown.

''{The Cheat starts to cry}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I guess they're ''out'' of blue ones!

''{The Cheat cries harder}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Angrily at the Drive-Thru Whale}'' Look what you did!

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' Steve, drive around to the seventh window.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What window? You're just a crackly drive-thru whale out in the middle of a field! ''{The word 'field' echoes and the camera angle switches to show the emptiness of the field}'' Come on, The Cheat. Let's take our invisible business elsewhere.

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat walk away. As soon as they're off screen, the rocket falls back down and breaks open, and a purple lobster with brown spots comes out.}''

'''DRIVE-THRU WHALE:''' Sever your leg please, sir.

''{The lobster makes odd warbled noises and removes one of its claws, and the whale bends down and eats the lobster. One claw remains on the ground. The whale blasts off into space, playing the same tune from earlier. A silhouette of a lobster with "end." written on it appears.}''

== Easter Eggs==

*Click on "end." for a scene with Strong Bad and The Cheat at another invisible restaurant.
:''{Strong Bad and the Cheat are sitting at a cardboard box.}''
:'''STRONG BAD''': Now ''this'' place knows how to invisibly treat a person, The Cheat! ''{to an invisible waiter}'' Ah, yes, thank you, Inviso-Jeeves. We'd like another bottle of Château Prétende 1974, please. Oh, and, uh, how 'bout a blue one for my little friend here? ''{indicates to The Cheat}''
:'''THE CHEAT''': ''{pleased The Cheat noises}''

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Europa (moon)|Europa]] is one of [[Wikipedia:Jupiter (planet)|Jupiter]]'s moons, and the possibility of Earth-like environment in its oceans has periodically led to [[Wikipedia:Europa (moon)#Exploration of Europa|plans for its exploration]]. It is the sixth nearest moon to Jupiter.
*Château Prétende is [[Wikipedia: French language|French]] for "Pretend Manor," and is a play on the traditional practice of identifying wines by their estate of origin. (e.g. Château Margaux, Château Latour, etc.)

===Remarks===
*The Field has a flatter, more cartoonish look than usual, with streaky clouds in the sky.
*According to [http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/12/061211-sea-creatures_2.html this article from National Geographic] the recent discovery of a deep sea lobster in the Pacific Ocean has led scientists to believe that similar organisms may live on Europa.

===Inside References===
*The way that Strong Bad emphasizes the suffix "or" in "Compress-OR" is reflective of [[other days]], when he calls [[Dolph Hauldhagen]] the "Instruc-TOR".
*The fact that the drive-thru whale can play music harks back to [[what I want]], which mentioned music being played from a Dancing Nobot in "Drive-Thru Stereo".

===Real-World References===
*[[Strong Bad's Rocket]] is an exact replica of an actual rocket toy that was popular in the 1970s and 1980s. The pump would increase the air pressure in the rocket. Releasing the lock in the base would allow the pressure to expel water from the bottom and cause the rocket to propel itself into the air.

====Sample Game====
The free sample game resembles Space Invaders with Strong Bad against an army of Homestars coming out of the sky. The Cheat periodically falls from top to bottom and if he hits you, a message will appear saying "YOUR"
"HEAD" (changes to SHIP a second later)
"ASPLODE". Trying to play the game is difficult because the screen continually flashes the message "TRIAL VERSION", locking the game controls. The game also automatically closes itself after the 14th  "TRIAL VERSION" screen, keeping you from advancing.
Using the cheat described below, it is possible to eliminate all of the Homestars, but this results in only a new set of homestars appearing, and nothing else.

== Fun Facts ==

=== Explanations ===
*The entire April Fool's site is a spoof of the preview pages on many pay-sites on the Internet: the trial videos, the free tour that ends with a sign-up page, the tacky design and layout, and the "streaming video game feeds" all mimic said pages.
**The second page claims "ACCESS TO ALL 230+ STRONG BAD EMAILS!" when there were only 127 emails at the time it was posted. This spoofs how subscription sites often flagrantly misrepresent their content. However, this may be a reference to a perk of subscribing (viewing unaired Strong Bad E-mails).
**A recent trend for Internet entertainment sites (especially game sites) is to be free for a few years, and then the owners initiate a pay-to-play policy. Perhaps this April Fool's joke was done so the Homestar Runner site would fit the trend.

=== Trivia===
*The font type of the phrase "There's more?? Why, yes." is the same [[Fonts|font]] used on the [[Compy 386]].
*When the page was first released, the navigation buttons at the bottom of the page weren't there, like [[Under Construction]].
*Pressing '7' on the keyboard (or the numeric keypad) during the trial game will toggle the gray 'TRIAL VERSION' message. If it's onscreen, it will vanish. If it's not onscreen, it will appear. Holding down the 7 key rapidly toggles the message on and off. The 7 key has no effect at any other time.
*The screenshots on the first page show:
**Senor Cardgage showing a pie chart to Homestar, dressed in [[Homestar Runner's Sleepwear|his pajamas and robe]] from [[caper]].
**Strong Bad with the [[Lappy 486]] as The Cheat serves him Strong Sad's head on a platter.
**Strong Mad on [[The Couch]] wearing Homestar's Homestarmy bowl, next to Frank Bennedetto.
*The screenshots on the second page show:
**Strong Bad at the [[Tandy 400]] with Sterrance (from [[animal]]) in the foreground.
**Strong Bad destroying a city (à la [[Wikipedia:Godzilla|Godzilla]]).
**Strong Bad in front of [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], which has gained Bubs's eyes and mouth.
*The third page has:
**A screenshot from [[StrongBadZone]] with the quote "A SPLODE IS A LOT".
**The boxes for the [[Videlectrix]] games [[Planet Alert!]] and [[Spaceshipper]].
**The sprite of Stinkoman from [[Stinkoman 20X6]].
**A screenshot from [[RhinoFeeder]].
**A screenshot from the Videlectrix game [[Rabbit Algebra]].
*There is a [[HR:payplustile.jpg|background tile]] image, but it's only a tiny black line.
**The line actually gradients to grey as it nears the center, but in front of a default white background, it is almost impossible to see. When the image is tiled on a black background, then the gradient forms a line that we can see.
*If Homestar made it only to five at the end of the Seven Second Trial, he was counting at the rate of one for every 1.4 seconds.
*Using a Flash decompiler, it is possible to see that The Brothers Chaps left ALL of the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|games menu]] in the 7 Second Trial Game instead of just the necessary objects.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#hunt the wumpus|hunt the wumpus]]".
*Except for the buttons and movie clips, all content featured on this toon are JPEGs.
*In the math problem shown in the screen shot of Rabbit Algebra, x = ±4.

=== Remarks ===
*Right clicking and selecting "play" will quickly advance you, page by page, to the very end of the presentation.
*None of the screenshots on the first two pages are from actual toons or emails. The StrongBadZone screenshot contains a quote not found in the game.
*Strong Bad is seen with the [[Tandy 400]] in one of the screenshots, with Sterrance from the email [[animal]] even though that was a [[Lappy 486]] era email.
*Homestar is shown standing on Strong Mad's head after falling through the trapdoor, yet in [[The Li'l Brudder Show]], [[Strong Bad's Basement |the basement]] was shown to have a much higher ceiling.
*Saying that a new Sweet Cuppin' Cakes episode will come out every week pokes fun at the fact that Sweet Cuppin' Cakes almost never gets any new episodes.
*If you shoot all the Homestars in the trial game, a second wave appears.
*On the first page, the right column of pictures is titled "Instant Access", but at the end, it states "You will receive your package in 6 - 8 weeks."
*The presentation refers to an "everybody dies" episode of [[Teen Girl Squad]]; however, at the time of this cartoon, [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8|Issue 8]] had already included every character dying. Since then, [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 9|Issue 9]] and an Easter egg in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10|Issue 10]] have too.
*The annual payment is clearly a better deal, as $12.95 monthly = $155.40 yearly.
*The "question box" on the Games page only allows for ten characters. It is also impossible to submit anything.
*You can access the "you will receive your package in 6-8 weeks" page without filling the form out.
*Even if you were a member, you wouldn't be able to login, as the loggin' box has nothing to click on.
*"Revamped for the 90's" should be "Revamped for the '90s".

===Goofs===
*Pressing the back button while watching the "Let's see a clip!" preview on page 2 will not make the Clip close, but it does close if you go back to page 2. This does not work if you hit "Show me more, sir!" or on any other of the previews.
**Though if you right click and click rewind while watching the other samples, it goes to the first section. It zooms in on the game.
*In the 7 second trial (which is actually 7.15 seconds long, according to counter), the counter in the corner is counting by seconds and then 60ths of seconds. If you watch it frame by frame in the swf. file, you can see the decimal counter is going at 5 60ths of a second per frame, which means the decimal goes up by 5 every frame. At the end of any second, the counter does not go from 55 to 0, it goes from 55 to 60, and then to 65, and then to 10.
*On the "The Email Show" page, in the middle of the screen, Strong Bad's eyes are a much lighter shade of green and have lost the shadow on the tops of his eyes.
*The black part of Sterrance's face mask is not present in his screen shot.

=== Inside References ===
*When your ship is destroyed in the trial game, the message "YOUR HEAD A SPLODE" appears, with "head" changing to "ship" a split-second later. This is an obvious reference to [[StrongBadZone]] and another appearance of "[[A Splode]]"
*All the sprites in the trial game come from the secret games on [[Strong Bad's Message Bored]].
*The "cred" card shown on page five belongs to [[Leomard Sportsinterviews|Lem Sportsinterviews]], who is a member of the [[Superfied Credit Union]]. This is a reference to the [[credit card]] email and to the [[Downloads]] page.
*The Cheat uses a [[Single-button remote control|single-button remote control]].

=== Real-World References ===
*The trial game resembles another Homestar Runner game, [[Armless Invaders]], which in turn resembles the arcade game, [[Wikipedia:Space Invaders|Space Invaders]].
*"I'm a real boy!" is an obvious reference to [[Wikipedia:Pinnochio|Pinocchio]], a wooden puppet who was turned "real" and made a similar remark in at least one version of the story.
*"I'll teach you to steal my date, Eh! Steve! I'm gonna come outta my shell at the Friday Night Dance and show everybody who's who!" and the #9 jersey are references to the movie [[IMDB:tt0112368|Angus]].
*The "Interactive Menus!!!" is a clear reference to cut rate DVDs. While most DVDs offer additional features like Director Commentaries, and "Making Of" featurettes, cheap DVDs and DVDs of movies that didn't make enough money to make such featurettes have to get by with advertising Interactive Menus as a bonus feature. This was also referenced in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 10.2]] and the back cover of [[Everything Else, Volume 1]].
*The picture of the Bubslike concession stand resembles the cutting-edge computer, and somewhat resembles the broken cassette player, from [[Wikipedia: The Brave Little Toaster (film)|The Brave Little Toaster]]

==DVD Version==
*Viewers can read the pages in any order.
*If you do not select anything for a while, the DVD will skip to the next page automatically.
*The Free Sample Game is replaced with another video.
*The form at the end can not be filled out or submitted.

Talk:Modestly Hot Homsar

AAA! — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 06:22:11 GMT

AAA!:

Where did Homsar ever appear in [[flashback]]!? --[[User:Whaddaya Know Haddi-man?|Whaddaya Know Haddi-man?]] 11:04, 25 Oct 2004 (MST)

Discount Flashback Warehouse.--[[User:198.37.16.36|198.37.16.36]] 11:13, 26 Oct 2004 (MST)

I can only say three words about this idea: sick and wrong.

I just realized, Modestly Hot Homsar's hat doesn't return to her head. I guess Homsar loses the ability as a woman...

Flashback is linked to from this page, but Modestly Hot Homsar isn't mentioned on that page. Should we remove the link here, or mention it/him/her there? {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 05:02, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

I likes! I likes!

Actually, that part where Modestly Hot Homsar appeared was from a screenshot of [[different town]], and not originally in this episode (And only her shadow can be seen). Not only that, [[flashback]] doesn't even mention her in the cast of characters list. I say we should remove the link to flashback. --{{User:AAA!/sig}} 06:22, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

==Move and redirect?==
I just added MHH to [[Minor Alternate Versions#Other|Minor Alternate Versions]]. Should the content of this page be moved there as well? The only thing that stopped me was the sketchbook image. Could that be linked from the variations page and this article redirected? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:26, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:I think so {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 18:55, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
::On second thought, having that page point here works fine. The article takes up a lot of space, especially with the sketchbook image, and gets linked to a lot. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:59, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

== Strong Glad's Cousin? ==

You know, Modestly Hot Homsar IS sick and wrong, but funny. Plus, she kinda looks like Strong Glad. Hmmmmmmmmmmm... maybe I should add strong glad to Minor variations.-[[User:Runstar Homer|Runstar Homer]]
:Nah, as a sketch, it doesn't exactly qualify. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:14, 30 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::It does look kinda like Strong Glad though. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 17:30, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

== Hold On... ==

Modestly Hot Homsar appears in [[flashback]]?
Oh, wait. Hold on. Never mind.

Homsar

AAA! — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 06:18:45 GMT

AAA!: /* Biography */ his relationship with bubs is equal to other characters. Removing him, and expanding Strong Bad's relationship

{{charnav|Homsar|homsar|The Poopsmith|Homestar Runner}}
{{aboutcharacter}} {{foremail|homsar}}
[[Image:homsar evolution current.png|thumb|{{homsarquote}}]]

== Biography ==
'''Homsar''' is perhaps the strangest and most enigmatic of all the [[Characters#Main characters|primary residents]] of the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. He was originally created as a result of a typo in the [[Strong Bad Email|email]] [[homsar]], in which Vinnie C. asked, "If you hate homsar so much, why don't you kill him?" (Presumably, Vinnie had actually meant to type "[[Homestar Runner|Homestar]]".) [[Strong Bad]] promptly dropped a [[Heavy Lourde]] on Homsar and left him for [[Death|dead]]. [[The Brothers Chaps]] later decided to keep Homsar as a main character, and they brought him back in an Easter egg in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] and in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5.0]], where he thanked [[Marzipan]] for the flowers she sent him while he was in the hospital.

Homsar occasionally makes brief appearances in various cartoons, but most of the time he appears only in Easter eggs (and has even been referred to as the "secret guy"). In every [[Holidays#Halloween (October 31st)|Halloween toon]] since his introduction, Homsar has appeared in an Easter egg somewhere in the middle of the Toon. (This is usually triggered by clicking somewhere on or near [[The Poopsmith]].)

Homsar doesn't have very many friends other than [[Strong Sad]] and Marzipan. Most of the other characters generally regard him as a nuisance. In particular, Strong Bad seems to dislike him the most, as he'd rather knaw his own leg off than talk to him for 3 seconds (which is said in [[interview]]). Despite his unpopularity, he serves in the [[Homestarmy]] and occasionally attends parties where these characters are present. He enjoys playing board games with Strong Sad, and he has organized his own activities, such as a [[Tree Hugging|tree hugging]] concert and the play "[[stupid stuff|Butt's Twelve by Pies]]" (starring Lighting and Set Decoration). He ran the Merch Masala on the [[Cool Tapes]] tour in [[Weclome Back]].

In the email [[interview]], Strong Bad, using a pen puppet, claimed that Homsar was "raised by a cup of coffee".

*'''Debut:''' Email [[homsar]]
*[[:Category:Homsar Filmography|Complete Filmography]]

==Distinctive Characteristics==

===Speech===
Homsar's most distinct characteristic is his unusual manner of speaking, which has varied over time. His tone of voice is generally quite exaggerated, and he often begins sentences by wailing "AaAAaaAAaaAAaa!". (In some cases, such as on [[Homsar Main Page]], this wailing affects the environment around him in strange ways.) His speech tends to range from perfectly normal English to often random and disconnected phrases that have little to no connection to the scene. Many believe that Homsar speaks in [[Wikipedia:Word salad (mental health)|word salads]] (a speech disorder characteristic of [[Wikipedia:Schizophrenia|schizophrenia]] in which grammar and sentence structure is often intact, but the words themselves have no particular meaning), but a [[Analysis of Homsar's Speech Patterns|detailed analysis of his speech patterns]] has shown that this is seldom the case. Instead, it seems that Homsar can and does relate well to his environment and other characters when he needs to, but is also prone to saying completely random things when there's no particular reason for him to stay in context.

Although the viewer is frequently left to figure out what Homsar's statements mean, other characters tend to just accept his speech and usually seem to understand it. Strong Bad is so far the only character to point out that Homsar's speech is "just nonsense", and even then, he was using a pen puppet to illustrate his point rather than talking to Homsar directly. It has been argued that his unusual speech patterns are the result of being crushed by the Heavy Lourde, but considering that he was able to speak more or less normally when he called Marzipan after that event, this seems unlikely.

===Bowler Hat and Psychokinesis===
Another notable aspect of Homsar is that his yellow [[Bowler Hats|bowler hat]] can float. It appears that this hat, which levitates when Homsar speaks, is actually being manipulated, as opposed to just flying about on its own. Homsar is, after all, a character [[Lack of Visible Arms|lacking visible arms]]. A theory for this is that Homestar, and quite possibly the other characters lacking arms, have limited psychokinetic abilities. Support for this theory is not only the fact that Homsar's hat floats whenever he speaks, but that it can float even when he isn't. Homsar himself is even capable of levitation, as demonstrated in [[narrator]], his character video, [[A Folky Tale]], and [[Halloween Fairstival]]. Apart from levitation, Homsar can duplicate himself ([[Fall Float Parade]]), make a paintbrush ring like a bell ([[Homestar Presents: Presents]]), transmute his bowler hat into an engineer's cap ([[Homsar#Character Video Transcript|Character Video]]) and perhaps manipulate time ([[3 Times Halloween Funjob]]), metamorphose ([[impression]]), and shrink in size ([[Happy Hallow-day]]). (Homsar's supposed metamorphosis in impression is generally accepted to be just a very convincing costume by most people, however, but this cannot exactly be proven or disproven.) Indeed, it appears that the laws of both science and logic do not apply to him.

===Similarity to Homestar Runner===
In terms of general appearance, Homsar bears a striking resemblance to [[Homestar Runner]]. Although he is grossly exaggerated and more curved, he and Homestar share underbites, clothing style (a hat and shirt), feet style, shading and skin color. As he was originally a misspelling of "Homestar", it is logical that Homsar is somewhat of a badly drawn Homestar. Strong Bad remarks upon this in the email [[for kids]], where he refers to Homsar as a "blue midget Homestar". Homestar himself even calls Homsar "Homestar" in [[looking old]].

===Naming of Other Characters===
Homsar often assigns the other characters, including himself, strange names. This could be because he has forgotten their real names, is confused, or disregards their real names. These "names" are sometimes based on the character's appearance (Strong Sad: That Rhinoceros) or a similar-sounding name (Bubs: Tubbs). Others (Strong Bad: Reggie) just don't make much sense. This is assuming that he is speaking to/about these characters and that he is not just disoriented or believes he is talking to someone else. His way of naming may also be used to describe how a character looks at the time, like when he called The Cheat "chocolate cake" when The Cheat was covered in [[Whatsit|whatsit]].

===Walking===
Whenever Homsar walks, he makes a peculiar fluttery noise. Some other characters also have made this noise.

*[[Mr. Shmallow]]
*[[Nibbles]]
*[[The Thnikkaman]] ([[Bubs]]) (when he's tied up as seen in [[cliffhangers]])
*[[Strong Bad]] (when he's scurrying in [[retirement]] and [[looking old]])
*[[Strong Mad]] (from the email [[virus]])

''{'''Page Title:''' The Hand-Me-Down Clown!}'' ''{'''Place:''' [[The Field]]}''

''{The background is upside-down throughout the video, with the blue sky on the bottom of the screen and the green grass at the top.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Hi, Wonder Mike! I'm Homsar! The captain of the gravy train.

''{His bowler hat pops up and turns into a train conductor's hat.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' Climb aboard!

''{His hat returns to normal.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' I've brought my best foot flowered... Pshoooo!

''{His hat slides down the back of his head, then snaps back at the end of the sound.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' Sure beats breaking up with me. Don't look now! I'm just a friendly reminder. AaAaAaAaAaAaA! AaAaAaAaAaAaA!

''{While screaming for the second time in a row, he spins around the screen backwards two and a half times. He ends up at the top, upside down.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' Think I won the Powerball.

== Fun Facts ==

*[[Wikipedia:Wonder Mike|Wonder Mike]] is a member of [[Wikipedia:The Sugarhill Gang|The Sugarhill Gang]], famous for the song "Rapper's Delight". In the beginning of "Rapper's Delight", Wonder Mike says "I am Wonder Mike and I'd like to say hello", so Homsar saying "Hi, Wonder Mike" could possibly be a response.
*"Think I won the Powerball" is a reference to the multistate [[Wikipedia: Powerball|Powerball Lottery]], which is known for having large jackpots.
*Homsar's character page is the only one with background music.
*Since the camera is presumably upside-down throughout his character video, Homsar starts the video upside-down and ends it right-side-up; this was more visible during [[April Fool's 2006]]. He "stands on air" again in the long toon [[A Folky Tale]] as an Easter egg.
*He is also seen floating in the Strong Bad email, [[narrator]].
*Homsar is the only main character with no [[Old-Timey]] counterpart.
*Homsar's coloring is similar to that of [[Rejected Characters#Homeschool Winner|Homeschool Winner]].

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Check your email and check your email. ''{His voice is looped with [[#Real-World References|another rhythm]]}'' Check your email and check your email.  ''{He stops singing and presses Enter.}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
 
I just wondering, if you had a chance 
to make your town different, what 
would you do? 
 
Sincerley 
Steven WV</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "WV" as "Wolksvagen".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pour hot soup in Homestar's eyes, eh, Steven? That sounds like a pretty good- ''{He stops typing.}'' wait... what'd your email say again?

''{Strong Bad presses a key, and the email appears again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{mumbling reading sounds}'' Oh. Oh-ho! Sorry.

''{Strong Bad presses a key, and starts the reply again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Make the town different, eh, Steven? ''{He breaks into song.}'' Weeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhllllllll,—

''{Cut to The Poopsmith shoveling whatsit.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' —the Poopsmith, he could talk—

'''THE POOPSMITH:''' ''{in a surprisingly deep voice}'' Hello!

''{The screen slides to the left, where Marzipan is standing in front of a wall of amplifiers marked 'Marzipan'. She is dressed in heavy metal garb and is playing a guitar decorated with a skeleton pattern.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' And Marzipan would rock-

''{Marzipan wails on her guitar. Cut to The Stick.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' And The Stick would be this big old tree that'd try to eat everyone except The Cheat and me—

''{The Stick turns into a big tree with a scary mouth. A photo appears, showing the tree with Strong Bad and The Cheat hanging out with it. Strong Mad appears from behind the left border of the photo}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' AND ME!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{speaking in the photo}'' We'll see.

''{Strong Mad looks shocked. Cut to the field.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' And The King of Town would be underground in a box filled up with peas...

''{Pan down to reveal a large crate labeled "A MILLION [[Peas|PEAS]]" buried underground. A cut-out from the crate is taken away to reveal The King Of Town inside surrounded by peas.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I hate peas!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{appearing in the lower-right corner of the screen, wearing a miner's hard hat}'' I know!

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. The stand is surrounded by [[Bubs' Flamethrowers|flamethrowers]] and has a sign that reads "Please, Take SEVERAL".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Bubs would give away flame throwers ''{Bubs begins firing chocolate money from one of the flamethrowers}'' that shoot chocolate hundred-dollar bills...

'''BUBS:''' Imitation chocolate!

''{Pan right to reveal Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' And my stupid baby brother would have been born with horns and a tail...

''{Strong Sad sprouts demon horns and a tail.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{looks down and says sadly}'' I'm evil.

''{Pan right to reveal the athletic field. Coach Z is standing there wearing an orange jacket.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' And Coach Z would wear this cool jacket.

''{Coach Z turns to reveal the back of his jacket. It reads "Totally Style" and has a picture of a thumbs-up.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Check it out, yo!

''{Pan right again. Homestar Runner is standing in the field.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' And Homestar just couldn't hack it.

''{Homestar Runner rips the star off his shirt and throws it to the ground, angrily.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I quit! ''{starts stomping on the star}''

''{A collector's sports card floats onto the left side of the screen. It shows a picture of Pom Pom with a basketball.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' And Pom Pom wouldn't change at all, 'cept he'd look like an ABA basketball.

''{Another card appears on the right, this time showing Pom Pom with his body changed to a red, white and blue ABA basketball. The screen goes black, then fades in to a close-up of Strong Bad's mouth.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{softly}'' Two, three, four.

''{Zoom out to reveal Strong Bad wearing a partially-open blue shirt and white pants.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' And this little weirdo...

''{A spotlight turns on in the background, revealing Homsar.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' ...would be a modestly hot girl...

''{Homsar silhouettes and morphs into a silhouette of a modestly hot girl.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' ...to help me through the hard times. You know, the kind that are only sorta hot so they don't mess around with other guys.

''{Modestly Hot Homsar un-silhouettes. She is wearing Homsar's bowler derby and a blue one-piece swimsuit with the word 'homsar', and she has brown hair and pink lipstick. Cut to a closeup of Modestly Hot Homsar.}''

'''MODESTLY HOT HOMSAR''': ''{in Homsar's voice}'' DaAaAa, I'm forever your girl! ''{her hat falls off the back of her hair}''

''{The crowd cheers for a moment as Modestly Hot Homsar stands there. Cut to the Computer Room where Strong Bad is standing on his stool. The cheering continues for a few seconds.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thank you! Thank you! All right! This next one is the fourteenth song on my forty-second album. It's called—

''{Cut to Strong Sad standing to the right of the computer desk. He is dressed in a light blue tunic and is wearing horns and a tail.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey, Strong Bad—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{off screen}'' WHOA! Can it be true?

''{Cut to a wide shot showing both Strong Bad and Strong Sad. Strong Bad is still standing on his stool.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar Runner called it quits? The King of Town, pea-buried alive?! The Poopsmith speaketh?!?

'''STRONG SAD:''' No... Calm down, spaz! I'm going to the ''Clash of the Titans'' con, dressed up as Calibos, remember? I was just gonna ask if you still wanted that bust of Bubo.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, um. Right. Of course. ''{clears throat, then speaks quietly and quickly}'' Yeah, I still want the bust of Bubo.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay, bye, weirdo. What are you standing on that stool for anyway?

'''STRONG BAD:''' For your information, I was ''{short pause}'' checking on the lights, Strong Sad. We got that recessed lighting, y'know. Yup, everything looks great.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Yeah, things would be different alright. Though I'm a little disappointed in what I came up with for Homsar. Modestly hot my eye! I think my imagination's broke. ''{stops typing}'' Lemme try and think up the ''{starts typing again}'' Best Thing Ever. Umm... Beef... stew... ''{types this as just "Best thing ever: Beef stew."}'' Yup it's busted alright. I'm gonna go... place. ''{gets up and walks away}''

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

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:Marzipanmohawk.PNG|thumb|Marzipan's new 'do.]]
*The words "eh, Steven?" can be clicked (only the first time Strong Bad types them) to show a [[Leomard Sportsinterviews|LEM]] drawing of "Eh. Steven." ([[Eh! Steve!]] in formal wear).
*Clicking on "place" at the end brings up a [[Place]] postcard featuring [[Monkey D]] and the skyline of Seattle, Washington. It reads: "Greetings from PLACE."
*Click on the right side of "back" at the end to download the song.
*Hidden behind Marzipan's yellow hair, if viewed in a [[Wikipedia:decompiler|decompiler]], there is another hairstyle – a bright pink spiked mohawk.

== Fun Facts ==

===Trivia===
* The music for "Different Town" was performed by [[They Might Be Giants]] especially for HomestarRunner.com. However, the lyrics were written by [[The Brothers Chaps]].
*Although Strong Bad's imagination is by no means part of continuity, this is the first time that the Poopsmith speaks (if you ignore the hiss in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]]).
*After you bring up the postcard from Place, you can still access the "download the song" Easter egg, which appears over the top of the postcard.
*If you look closely in [[Pom Pom, Too]] toon, you can see an [[ABA Basketball]] Pom.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#BAAL|BAAL]]".
*This toon has [[Nondescript Nouns]] ("Place").

===Remarks===
*Though the Big Old Tree moves, its shadow does not.
*When Strong Bad is "checking the lights" he should be looking to his right because according to the shadows the light comes from his right.

===Inside References===
*The postcard from PLACE in the Easter egg is a reference to Strong Bad's postcards from destinations such as OVER THERE in the email [[vacation]].
*The [[Trading Card Games|trading card]] Pom Pom was pictured on has the same design as the one featuring [[The Deke]] in [[autobiography]].
*This is the first time we see Homestar Runner without a star since [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]].


===Real-World References===
*The rhythm of Strong Bad's email song is taken from the They Might Be Giants song [[TMBW:Ana Ng|Ana Ng]] – the first time is the same as the rhythm part under the verse, and the second time is this and the vocal rhythm mixed together.
*The "[[Wikipedia:American Basketball Association|ABA]] Basketball" is indeed red, white, and blue instead of the [[Wikipedia:National Basketball Association|NBA]] orange.
*"Bubo" was the name of the clockwork owl in the film ''[[IMDB:tt0082186|Clash Of The Titans]]'', later featured as an avatar on [[Strong Sad's Lament]]. Strong Sad was dressed as Calibos, the villain of that movie. Both Bubo and Calibos were [[Stop Motion|animated]] by [[Wikipedia:Ray Harryhausen|Ray Harryhausen]], whose work was also referenced in [[redesign]].
*Wolksvagen is a play on words of the German automobile manufacturer: [[Wikipedia:Volkswagen|Volkswagen]]. The funny pronunciation comes from the fact that the two letters are reversed from the normal abbreviation, VW. One may also note that in German, the name is pronounced "'''F'''olks'''v'''agen." The literal translation of Volkswagen would be "people's car".
*The board behind Homestar says "[[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU]]" and "DeBry," which is a parody of [[Wikipedia:DeVry University|DeVry University]].
*The guitar Marzipan is playing is "[http://www.philbrodieband.com/muso_george_lynch03.jpg Mr. Scary]," the one [[Wikipedia:George Lynch (musician)|George Lynch]] used during his years with the '80s metal band [[Wikipedia:Dokken|Dokken]].
*The "Marzipan" amps are a play on the ubiquitous [[Wikipedia:Marshall Amplification|Marshall Amps]], which feature similar styling and font.
*Marzipan's blond hairdo may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Heart (band)|Heart]] guitarist [[Wikipedia:Nancy Wilson (guitarist)|Nancy Wilson]].
*Strong Bad's outfit during the "And this little weirdo" sequence is similar to outfits worn by many glam-rock musicians, such as [[Wikipedia:Led Zeppelin|Led Zeppelin's]] [[Wikipedia:Robert Plant|Robert Plant]] and [[Wikipedia:Queen (band)|Queen's]] [[Wikipedia:Freddie Mercury|Freddie Mercury]].
*Homsar says "I'm forever your girl," a quote from the 1989 song and album titled "[http://www.lyricsdepot.com/paula-abdul/forever-your-girl.html Forever Your Girl]" by [[Wikipedia:Paula Abdul|Paula Abdul]].

===Fast Forward===
*Homestar's eyes will again be threatened with hot soup in [[New Boots]], this time by The Cheat.
*Strong Bad's statement that they have recessed lighting is confirmed in [[pop-up]] when Strong Bad jumps to the ceiling.
*The voice of The Poopsmith will be heard again in [[senior prom]].
*Marzipan actually does end up playing rock music when she starts the band [[Cool Tapes]].
*A screenshot of Modestly Hot Homsar is shown again in the "[[Discount Flashback Warehouse]]" Easter egg in [[flashback]].

== DVD Version ==
*The Eh! Steven Easter egg is viewable using the angle button on your DVD remote.
*The download link for Different Town has been disabled for obvious reasons.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary, as well as the ''original'' version of the Different Town song, as sung by John Linnell. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''MATT:''' Another commentary.

'''MIKE:''' This is a commentary- My name is Mike Chapman. This is my younger brother Matt, he's three years younger than me.

'''MATT:''' That's all true.

'''MIKE:''' So, this commentary track- we're going to allow John Linnell from They Might Be Giants- we're gonna put on his original track. They co-wrote the song for this e-mail.

'''MATT:''' -did all the music for it, I just sent an email with some of the words and a couple of notes and that- that's it.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, so that's what we're going to play for the, um—

'''MATT:''' ''{quickly}'' Here it comes!

''{The Different Town music track is played, with [[They Might Be Giants|John Linnell]] singing Strong Bad's lines (no other character's lines are said.)}''

'''MATT:''' I think I used a Miss Georgia, or Miss California, or something picture, for a reference for the hot Homsar.

'''MIKE:''' Probably was Miss Georgia.

'''MATT:''' You think so?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. She's pretty hot

'''MATT:''' So, we liked Clash of the Titans a lot.

'''MIKE:''' True. It, uh, scared me when I was little. And I like the special effects.

'''MATT:''' And it delights you in your old age.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' It does.

'''MATT:''' Bubo was, of course, the R2-D2 of Clash of The Titans.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, the robot owl.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. But it was clockwork, Mike, there were no robotics back then. The gods had a mastery of clockworks, though.

'''MIKE:''' Gears.

'''MATT:''' Gears of...shimmies. Uh, Manhunter of New York, I believe, is in the diskbox there.

'''MIKE:''' ''Great'' game.

'''MATT:''' It's a great game. Speaking of terribly awkward graphics. ''{Mike laughs}'' That's something else that scared me when I was younger and delights me in my old age, is Manhunter of New York.

'''MIKE:''' Eyeballs. Flying eyeballs.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Orbs.

'''MIKE:''' Orbs. Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Poor guy.

===Goofs===
*Matt incorrectly identifies the game in the [[Floppy Disk Container]] as "Manhunter of New York." It is actually "BAAL." The game "Manhunter of New York" appeared in the Floppy Disk container in [[Arcade Game]] and [[caper]].

== Rewrite ==

If anybody can rewrite my recent addition,

<pre>Or, if you run your pointer over the "e-mail" button,
and quickly move to another button, you can hear Homsar's
voice for the other button over "AaAaAaAaAaAaA."</pre>

I would really appreciate it. I couldn't think of any clearer way to write it. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 14:38, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)

Doesn't seem worthy enough to mention, since all menu's do that. It's just more noticable on this one. [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 18:55, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Games button ==

It may just be me, but I think he says "Jane", not "James". No "s" is audible. --[[User:83.88.139.108|83.88.139.108]] 07:55, 23 Nov 2004 (MST)

Jane would make more sense. A reference to the old saying "Jane stop this crazy thing". Xycho

Hmm... I'm pretty sure I can hear an 's' in there somewhere. But it doesn't matter which one makes more sense. I mean, we're talking about Homsar. --[[User:Lyzz|Lyzz~]]

I'm going to revive this: put the cursor over Games and immediately pull it away. No S. Could be Jane, could be Jeng, or it could be James with the recording cut off because the Bros. didn't do enough bugtesting. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 01:45, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I think it's Jane. I came to this talk page to suggest it, even. [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 18:52, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

With Jay's suggestion, I am hearing "Jane" over and over again. But then again, maybe TBC meant "James" but cut off the ending so that the sound effect of the Heavy Lourde hitting wouldn't be obstructed, not expecting us to trick the button. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 02:41, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I hear it as "Jame", as if to say "James" but he gets cut off by the "Heavy Lourde". [[User:Swimma Dan|Swimma Dan]]

Sounds more like 'change' to me [[User:The Pardack|The Pardack]]

Actually, it sounds like "Game" to me --No user account varified--

I think he says "James", as a mispronunciation of the word "Games". -- S

I swear i went over that button like 5 times and it always said "jane"

Aha! Some semi-sweet semi-confirmation: "Your James Over" from [[redesign]]. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 05:21, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I heard "Jame" or "Jabe" or "Jay". [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 18:34, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

== Memorabilia ==

Any idea why the link title is "homestarrunner.com/memorabilia.html"? The word memorabilia is most likely there just as a random word, but does anybody think there may be some significance behing it? --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]

No.

It's probably just Homsar-type randomness. -Kinsey

I can never hear that "strange sound looping in the background." No matter what, I just can't hear it. Does anyobdy else know how to get it to work? — {{User:Darklinkskywalker/DLSsignature}} 21:33, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Actually, you will never hear the strange looping sound in the background. [[User:Stephen923|Stephen923]]

== Jane ==

I think [[User:AAA!|AAA]] is right: Homsar says "Jane", not "James". I used a Flash decompiler to listen to it without interfering Heavy Lourde, and there is definitely no "s" sound. There's also an "n" and no "m".{{User:Loafing/sig}} 10:16, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

::::::Oh no! Now that I've read this discussion, I hear "Jane" too! I ALWAYS thought he was saying "James", but I just don't hear those "m" and "s" noises anymore! It's very distinc to me: he's saying "Jane"... (Ya think ya know the basics, and then something like this goes and makes ya question your integrity... and your hearing...) {{User:4kai2lyn6/sig}} 16:56, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::::I agree with Jay, I've never heard the "S" sound, but I couldn't make it make any more sense than that, so I was never too concerned about it. - {{User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C/Sig}} 17:03, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm actually not that experienced with Homestar Runner, and I'm quite new, so I just might have heard it wrong. However, I did find something interesting. Look in the [[Homsar Main Page#Remarks|Remarks]] section. --{{User:AAA!/sig}}

It's Homsar, being random as usual. Notice that the navigation buttons are all staggered and askew instead of arranged neatly along the white line.

'''Page title (if accessed using the Main Pages):''' "LEGITIMATE MENU PAGE!"

==Button Effects==
*'''[[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons]]''' — Bubbles come out of his mouth when he says, "ToOoOons!"
*'''[[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games]]''' — He says, "James!" and gets hit with a [[Heavy Lourde]], inspired by the email [[homsar]].
*'''[[Character Videos|Characters]]''' — He says, "[[Wikipedia:Kelsey Grammer|Kelsey Grammer]]," gets a [[Mustaches|mustache]] (which he keeps until you roll over another button), and a [[Dinosaurs|dinosaur]] appears with a sign that says "BEAT STATE!" wrapped around its back.
*'''[[Downloads]]''' — He says, "Thank you," as a boat goes by backwards in the background and toots its horn in reverse.
*'''[[Store]]''' — He says, "Legitimate Business!" and Strong Sad comes up and says, "How did ''you'' get up there? I don't think this is a very good idea."
*'''[[Email]]''' — Homsar wails, "AaAaAaAaAaAaA!" and the background waves insanely behind him until the cursor is moved.

== Fun Facts ==

===Trivia===

*The URL for the page ends "memorabilia.html".

===Remarks===
[[Image:HomsarMainPageDifference.PNG|thumb|right|Spot the difference]]
*There is actually a difference in design between the Homsar in the Homsar Main Page and the one in [[interview]]. The shading in the interview Homsar's shirt is bigger, the Main Page Homsar's hat is smaller, and the outline of the interview Homsar's shirt is darker.

===Glitches===
*When you roll over the "Games" link and roll off quickly, Homsar's hat will jump up and then momentarily disappear. The weight will not crash down on him.
*When you roll over the "Store" link and Strong Sad says "How did you get up there? I don't think this is a very good idea." his mouth keeps moving for several frames after he stops talking.
**This only happens with Flash Player 8 or higher. With Flash Player 7, the timing is correct.

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' Pizza belongs in a triangle!

'''SO AND SO:''' ''{hearts over head and drooling awkwardly}'' That Tompkins is SUCH a renegade!

'''CHEERLEADER:''' ''{inexplicably drawn wearing a derby, sunglasses, a moustache, a tie, and smoking a cigar}'' No yous guys! The battle of the bands! ''{back to normal}'' We can form a band and become...

'''SO AND SO:''' We can practice after school in my step-mom's walk-in closet!

''{Cut to an image of a man carrying a rock that reads...}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' After school!

''{Cut to So and So's step-mom's walk-in closet, as evidenced by a large rack of clothes.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Your step mom has questionable taste.

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' And like a million jogging suits.

''{So and So's step-mother, who bears a very strong resemblance to the [[Arrow'd Guy]], appears from behind the clothes rack.}''

'''MRS. SO-AND-SO-ERSON:''' YOU LITTLE BRATS BEST SHUT YER YAPS!!!

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Yes Mrs. So-and-so... -erson.

''{Mrs. So-and-so-erson vanishes. The girls' instruments appear, Cheerleader with a guitar, So and So on keyboard, What's Her Face on bass and The Ugly One on drums.}''

'''SO AND SO:''' Count us off, The Ugly One.

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' One, two, three and a four.

'''CHEERLEADER:''' ''{singing as the other girls play}'' Ooncha ooncha! One, two, three-cha! We're Kissy Boots and it's nice to meetcha! ''{music pauses}'' Ooncha ooncha! ''{music resumes}'' One, two, three-cha! Gonna get a breadtangle of pizza!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' FLOOR TOMMED!!!!

''{Mrs. So-and-so-erson returns and pours "Ranch Dress" over The Ugly One and the floor tom}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' STEP-MOMMED!!!

''{Cut to a romantic dinner setting where The Ugly One, with the drum still engulfing her head, stands opposite Pom Pom, who holds a single rose.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' POM-POMMED??

''{Cut to a huge mouth with "BATTLE OF THE BANDS!!!" written on its teeth.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' BATTLE OF THE BANDS!!!

''{Cut to the school auditorium, where the Intercom (mounted on a robot body) stands on stage with a microphone, and a handful of stick-figure heads compose the audience.}''

'''INTERCOM:''' Alright, give it up for "Fatty's Big Chance."

''{A large man, presumably Fatty, with a saxophone and checkerboard pants appears from stage right.}''

'''FATTY:''' Pick it up! Pick it up! Hup! Hup! Pick it up! Pick it up!

''{Fatty vanishes.}''

'''INTERCOM:''' Next up is "Kissyboots".

''{Cut to Cheerleader and What's Her Face, probably back stage. Cheerleader's shirt now says "X-girl". Cheerleader holds a heart-shaped guitar with three necks and What's Her Face has a bass.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Where is So and So? We can't play the hits without her!

''{Cut to So and So in a dressing room. Her hair is dyed black and she wears a black t-shirt with Strong Sad's face on it and heavy black makeup.}''

'''SO AND SO:''' I'm going with that gloomy keyboardist look I keep hearing about!

''{A group of trolls enters the dressing room.}''

'''TROLL:''' KRA'AGH! KLEET'OH BRANGH CHE'EKOH TAGHQ?

'''SO AND SO:''' My autograph? Why sure!

''{A huge multi-sided die lands on her from above.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' TWELVE SIDED DIED!! ''{without text}'' Oh, that's rough.

''{Back in the auditorium, Cheerleader and What's Her Face are the only ones on stage.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' I'm Kissyboots and she plays bass. One, two, three, and a four!

''{They start playing. What's Her Face's guitar suddenly turns into a shark.}''

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' My bass feels seaworthy.

''{The shark eats the entire upper half of What's Her Face in one JGHOWMP!}''

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' OW! My most of me!!

'''CHEERLEADER:''' ''{indicating the shark}'' Dis my new backup band... a shark. One, two, three, and a four!

''{Cut to the end title which reads "it's over!". Cheerleader sings over it and the lyrics are shown at the top of the screen.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' It's over! It's over! Strong Bad says it's over! It's over! It's over! Everybody died 'cept me!! ''{a chomping sound is heard.}'' Aw, crap!

Tompkins is also wearing a T-Shirt with the word "Truk" [sic] on it, and a poorly drawn truck on it}''

:'''TOMPKINS:''' Aw, come on prinicpal ''{pronounced as prin-ICK-pal}'' Strong Bad. I only stole ONE Sega tape!

:'''TOMPKINS:''' Awww PEAS!

:'''STRONG BAD:''' Kid, I think you're gonna turn out... HG HJHG HAAAALL ''{pronounced HAAAAAAL}'' right!

==Fun Facts==
=== Trivia ===
*This is the first Teen Girl Squad issue where all four girls clearly die.
*This is the first appearance of a main character (namely, Pom Pom and Strong Sad) in a Teen Girl Squad issue (outside of an Easter egg).
*This is the first time Strong Bad has made an apparently personal comment during narration.
*This is the first time that someone other than Strong Bad has said "IT'S OVER!"
*This is the first time someone said the word "[[Crap|crap]]" in a Teen Girl Squad issue.
*The main stage also appears in both the main email and an Easter egg in [[death metal]].
*Smartly Pretty is spelled using [[Wikipedia: calculus|calculus]] symbols.


===Remarks===
*So and So appears twice in this issue with two sharp fangs; The Ugly One also grows [[Fangs (Teen Girl Squad)|fangs]] in [[Decemberween Teen Girl Squad|Issue 6]] and [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10|Issue 10]].
*Cheerleader, So and So, and The Ugly One have no chairs by or attached to their desks to sit on.
*During their first practice session, So-and-So looks like she is playing some odd mix between a Gibson Explorer and a Fender Jazz Bass, and What's Her Face is playing a Gibson V-Factor (more commonly known as the Flying V) with a Fender headstock.
*In issue 7 of Teen Girl Squad, the girls tell on Tompkins for "making a swear" when he said heck. In this issue, he says "Awww, Peas!", an example of a [[Wikipedia:Minced oath|minced oath]].


=== Goofs ===
*The die that crushes So And So is a [[Wikipedia:Icosahedron|20-sided die]]. [[Wikipedia:Dodecahedron|Twelve-sided dice]] have pentagonal faces.
*The blue lines on the paper are misplaced inside Tompkins' speech bubble in the Easter egg.
*At the actual Battle of the Bands concert, it's quite clear that the only instruments being played are Cheerleader's three-necked guitar and What's Her Face's bass. However, you can easily distinguish the sound of a drumset being played in the background of the song.
*Before "Kissy Boots" practice, the piano loop overlaps.
*Cheerleader is supposed to play the guitar; however, in the closet jam, the instrument she is holding has only 4 tuners like a bass.
*Two of What's Her Face's vertebrae are floating in the air after the shark bites her "most of me" off.

=== Inside References ===
*"Ooncha ooncha, one, two, three-cha" and Tompkins debuted in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]].
*The "[[-erson]]" tacked onto Mrs. So and So's name is a running gag also previously used on Teen Girl Squad Issue #7.
*Strong Bad is called a "prinicpal" (note the misspelling) by his nameplate and by Tompkins, just like in the [[Homestar Quiz]] and [[CGNU]].
*What's Her Face's desk is resting on her lap, and this could be a reference to the DVD commentary for the email "[[date]]."
*When What's Her Face points out that Mrs. So-and-so-erson has "like a million jogging suits" her mouth looks like one of the earlier versions of What's Her Face when she had huge lips. This early version is in Matt and Mike's sketchbook on the DVD.

*Cheerleader's inexplicable change of dress when she says "No yous guys" is similar to what happens to a pile of marshmallows in [[Meet Marshie]].
*When So and So talks about Tompkins being a renegade, she has an expression on her face reminiscent of [[Doreauxgard]] in [[lackey]].
*Smartly Pretty is spelled using the [[Pi]] symbol.
*What's Her Face's title card descriptions are usually meant to portray her as uncool; therefore, the "college radio!" caption probably refers to [[radio]], in which Strong Bad described college radio as "utter misery".

===Real-World References===
*"Breadtangle" refers to cafeteria pizzas which are rectangular in shape, and very bready.
*The [[Sega Tapes|Sega "tape"]] (technically a ROM cartridge) Tompkins steals in the Easter egg is "Road Rash." Road Rash was a [[Wikipedia:Sega Genesis|Sega Genesis]]/Sega MegaDrive game where you race on motorcycles and knock other racers off their motorcycles by punching them or using clubs.
*All of Kissyboots' music is taken from the in-game music of Road Rash.

*The "16 hour drum solo" brings to mind the epic drum solos of "[[Wikipedia:In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (song)|In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida]]" by [[wikipedia:Iron Butterfly|Iron Butterfly]] and [[wikipedia:Led Zeppelin|Led Zeppelin]] drummer [[wikipedia:John Bonham|John Bonham's]] solo in "[[Wikipedia:The Song Remains the Same (song)|The Song Remains the Same]]" or "[[wikipedia:Moby Dick (song)|Moby Dick]]".
*Cheerleader's close-up of her with a hat, moustache, glasses, and a tie is similar to that of the [[Wikipedia:Blues Brothers|Blues Brothers]], though the way she says "yous guys" also directs the reference toward Edward G. Robinson.
*The classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon [[Wikipedia:Jabberjaw|Jabberjaw]] also had a shark as a band member.
*The trolls and the gamers multi-sided die are staples of [[Wikipedia:Role_playing_game|RPGs]] such as [[Wikipedia:Dungeons and dragons|Dungeons & Dragons]].

*The pose for the shark at the end is remarkably similar to the pose of the Shark enemy in Final Fantasy 1.
*Fatty's Big Chance is clearly a Ska band, what with his checkered pants and the phrase "pick-it-up".
**This is likely a specific reference to the 1970's British ska band [[Wikipedia:Bad_Manners|Bad Manners]] and its fat, shaven-headed singer [[Wikipedia:Buster_Bloodvessel|Buster Bloodvessel]]. The checkered pants match the standard set by the British ska label [[Wikipedia:Two_Tone|Two Tone]], on which Bad Manners recorded. Additionally, Bad Manners recorded the song "Lip Up, Fatty".
*What's Her Face's bass transforming into a shark is a reference to the 1997 TV special, "[[IMDB:tt0218329|Hey, Hey, It's the Monkees]]". During a musical sequence, Mike's guitar turns into a shark.
*When the girls form Kissy Boots, note that The Ugly One is the drummer. [[Wikipedia:Ringo Starr|Ringo Starr]] was the drummer for [[Wikipedia:The Beatles|The Beatles]]. Each Beatle had his own little nickname, and Ringo was also known as "The Ugly One".

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

'''MIKE:''' So, we got our man Ryan Sterritt up in the house! Ryan, give a shout-out!

'''RYAN:''' Yo, yo!

'''MATT:''' Um, what is The Ugly One doing listening to pinebark, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Does What's Her Face never have an apostrophe?

'''MATT:''' Uh yeah, y— I noticed that this week you added one for number ten. And she usually doesn't have one.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' And she's never had one before? I mean, it ''should'' have one, right?

'''MATT:''' I mean, sometimes "it's over", yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Didn't we fix all the "it's over"s?

'''RYAN:''' We did, but only two of the nine had apostrophes.

'''MIKE:''' On the website?

'''RYAN:''' Yes.

'''MIKE:''' But on the DVD they've all got 'em. I've finally learned the difference. Because of your Strong Bad's, uh, Rhythm and Grammar song!

'''MATT:''' Well, there you go!

'''MIKE:''' So... these days, one of the Teen Girl Squad's members almost always has fangs, at some point in the cartoon.

'''MATT:''' Tha— that's always Mike. Mike loves to add the fangs. You know that Mike drew those frames if they have fangs.

'''MIKE:''' ''{sotto voce}'' I drew that. ''{normal volume}'' And I played bass! Like— like What's Her Face! I know what she's going through.

'''MATT:''' Like Kim Gordon! And—

'''MIKE:''' Darcy!

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Kim Deal? Girl bassists... I'm not a girl, just to be clear! ''{laughs}'' I don't know how we got on girl bass players.

'''MATT:''' Hey guys, look at how creepy Mrs. So-and-so-erson is.

'''MIKE:''' I remember going to friends' houses and, like, their— the walk-in closet was kind of a fun place to play.

'''MATT:''' The, uh— the New You used to play in a walk-in closet I had at the Plaza Apartments! And we played for months and months and months and the day before I moved out was the only day someone came and complained about the noise... which was really surprising. Umm, so, I'm not believing that stuff about a bombing sixteen-hour drum solo, you guys.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' You can't— ha—

'''MATT:''' Uh, so now, we've personified that speaker, uh, into some kind of speaker robot.

'''MIKE:''' Kinda looks like Screech's best friend robot that's in one episode of Saved by the Bell.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Um, Kevin is his name.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Fatty there, of course, being— representing the ska contingent.

'''MIKE:''' Were you ever into ska, Ry?

'''RYAN:''' Uh, yeah. Ska punk.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah? ''{laughs}'' Pick it up, pick it up, BossTones? Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up!

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' So what...

'''RYAN:''' Yeah. There's some Magadog on— there's some others with other catchy names.

'''MATT:''' ''{sings}'' Sound system gonna bring me back up right. Op Ivy, guys? That were I first heard "pick it up, pick it up".

'''MIKE:''' Eh, Op Ivy?

'''MATT:''' Yeah. ''{laughs}'' Dis my new band.

'''MATT and MIKE:''' Dis Marky... and the Bitsy Boys!

'''MIKE:''' So were those people— were those supposed to be people in the foreground?

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Or black lollipops?

'''MATT:''' Oh no.

'''MIKE:''' Oh wait, did she die then?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

''{The girls are sitting at their desks in class. The Cheerleader shirt says "Suga Sweet". The Cheerleader's desk has a square of paper, So and So's desk has a lamp on it, The Ugly One's desk has an open book on it, and What's Her Face's desk's legs are bent.}''

'''INTERCOM:''' And lunch today will be a breadtangle of pizza. Don't forget the battle of the bands this Friday. Tompkins, point your rear end in the direction of the principal's office.

'''TOMPKINS:''' ''{offscreen}'' Awww, peas!

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Y'hear that girls??

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' Pizza belongs in a triangle!

'''SO AND SO:''' ''{hearts over head and drooling awkwardly}'' That Tompkins is SUCH a renegade!

'''CHEERLEADER:''' ''{inexplicably drawn wearing a derby, sunglasses, a moustache, a tie, and smoking a cigar}'' No yous guys! The battle of the bands! ''{back to normal}'' We can form a band and become...

'''ALL:''' WORLDWIDE STARLETS!!

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' Worldwide starlets get much boys!

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Or so I have read. Obviously, I'll sing and pretend to play guitar.

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' Can I not get stuck playing bass?

'''CHEERLEADER, SO AND SO and THE UGLY ONE:''' NO WAY!!

'''SO AND SO:''' We'll be called "Smartly Pretty".

''{we are shown a CD case with "(S)mar+ly PrΣ(π)y" written on it}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' ''{vomits}'' Augh! Bleh! Ewww! Grugh! ''{suddenly sotto voce}'' No. ''{cheerfully}'' We're called "Kissy Boots"!

''{a CD case which says "Kissy Boots" and features a huge pair of lips with cowboy boots is shown}''

'''SO AND SO:''' We can practice after school in my step-mom's walk-in closet!

''{Cut to an image of a man carrying a rock that reads...}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' After school!

''{Cut to So and So's step-mom's walk-in closet, as evidenced by a large rack of clothes.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Your step mom has questionable taste.

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' And like a million jogging suits.

''{So and So's step-mother, who bears a very strong resemblance to the [[Arrow'd Guy]], appears from behind the clothes rack.}''

'''MRS. SO-AND-SO-ERSON:''' YOU LITTLE BRATS BEST SHUT YER YAPS!!!

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Yes Mrs. So-and-so... -erson.

''{Mrs. So-and-so-erson vanishes. The girls' instruments appear, Cheerleader with a guitar, So and So on keyboard, What's Her Face on bass and The Ugly One on drums.}''

'''SO AND SO:''' Count us off, The Ugly One.

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' One, two, three and a four.

'''CHEERLEADER:''' ''{singing as the other girls play}'' Ooncha ooncha! One, two, three-cha! We're Kissy Boots and it's nice to meetcha! ''{music pauses}'' Ooncha ooncha! ''{music resumes}'' One, two, three-cha! Gonna get a breadtangle of pizza!

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' 16 hour drum solo! doo do boop bop...

''{She starts playing the drums and scatting along, until a large [[Wikipedia:Floor Tom|floor tom]] eats her head.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' FLOOR TOMMED!!!!

''{Mrs. So-and-so-erson returns and pours "Ranch Dress" over The Ugly One and the floor tom}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' STEP-MOMMED!!!

''{Cut to a romantic dinner setting where The Ugly One, with the drum still engulfing her head, stands opposite Pom Pom, who holds a single rose.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' POM-POMMED??

''{Cut to a huge mouth with "BATTLE OF THE BANDS!!!" written on its teeth.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' BATTLE OF THE BANDS!!!

''{Cut to the school auditorium, where the Intercom (mounted on a robot body) stands on stage with a microphone, and a handful of stick-figure heads compose the audience.}''

'''INTERCOM:''' Alright, give it up for "Fatty's Big Chance."

''{A large man, presumably Fatty, with a saxophone and checkerboard pants appears from stage right.}''

'''FATTY:''' Pick it up! Pick it up! Hup! Hup! Pick it up! Pick it up!

''{Fatty vanishes.}''

'''INTERCOM:''' Next up is "Kissyboots".

''{Cut to Cheerleader and What's Her Face, probably back stage. Cheerleader's shirt now says "X-girl". Cheerleader holds a heart-shaped guitar with three necks and What's Her Face has a bass.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Where is So and So? We can't play the hits without her!

''{Cut to So and So in a dressing room. Her hair is dyed black and she wears a black t-shirt with Strong Sad's face on it and heavy black makeup.}''

'''SO AND SO:''' I'm going with that gloomy keyboardist look I keep hearing about!

''{A group of trolls enters the dressing room.}''

'''TROLL:''' KRA'AGH! KLEET'OH BRANGH CHE'EKOH TAGHQ?

'''SO AND SO:''' My autograph? Why sure!

''{A huge multi-sided die lands on her from above.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' TWELVE SIDED DIED!! ''{without text}'' Oh, that's rough.

''{Back in the auditorium, Cheerleader and What's Her Face are the only ones on stage.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' I'm Kissyboots and she plays bass. One, two, three, and a four!

''{They start playing. What's Her Face's guitar suddenly turns into a shark.}''

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' My bass feels seaworthy.

''{The shark eats the entire upper half of What's Her Face in one JGHOWMP!}''

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' OW! My most of me!!

'''CHEERLEADER:''' ''{indicating the shark}'' Dis my new backup band... a shark. One, two, three, and a four!

''{Cut to the end title which reads "it's over!". Cheerleader sings over it and the lyrics are shown at the top of the screen.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' It's over! It's over! Strong Bad says it's over! It's over! It's over! Everybody died 'cept me!! ''{a chomping sound is heard.}'' Aw, crap!

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click the "o" to see a breadtangle, breadpazoid, breadallelogram, and brhombus of [[Pizza|pizza]] (click each one to see the next. Click the brhombus to go back to the IT'S OVER! screen.)
*Click the "!" to see what happened to Tompkins.
:''{Tompkins and Strong Bad are in the principal's office. Tompkins is standing to the left of Strong Bad. Strong Bad has a sign on his desk reading "PRINICPAL" [sic] and has a Sega cartridge saying "Road Rash." Tompkins is wearing shorts, and has his right hand in his pocket. Tompkins is also wearing a T-Shirt with the word "Truk" [sic] on it, and a poorly drawn truck on it}''

:'''TOMPKINS:''' Aw, come on prinicpal ''{pronounced as prin-ICK-pal}'' Strong Bad. I only stole ONE Sega tape!

:'''STRONG BAD:''' That's just it, Tompkins... You could have stolen UPWARDS of one Sega tape.

:'''TOMPKINS:''' Awww PEAS!

:'''STRONG BAD:''' Kid, I think you're gonna turn out... HG HJHG HAAAALL ''{pronounced HAAAAAAL}'' right!

==Fun Facts==
=== Trivia ===
*This is the first Teen Girl Squad issue where all four girls clearly die.
*This is the first appearance of a main character (namely, Pom Pom and Strong Sad) in a Teen Girl Squad issue (outside of an Easter egg).
*This is the first time Strong Bad has made an apparently personal comment during narration.
*This is the first time that someone other than Strong Bad has said "IT'S OVER!"
*This is the first time someone said the word "[[Crap|crap]]" in a Teen Girl Squad issue.
*The main stage also appears in both the main email and an Easter egg in [[death metal]].
*Smartly Pretty is spelled using [[Wikipedia: calculus|calculus]] symbols.


===Remarks===
*So and So appears twice in this issue with two sharp fangs; The Ugly One also grows [[Fangs (Teen Girl Squad)|fangs]] in [[Decemberween Teen Girl Squad|Issue 6]] and [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10|Issue 10]].
*Cheerleader, So and So, and The Ugly One have no chairs by or attached to their desks to sit on.
*During their first practice session, So-and-So looks like she is playing some odd mix between a Gibson Explorer and a Fender Jazz Bass, and What's Her Face is playing a Gibson V-Factor (more commonly known as the Flying V) with a Fender headstock.
*In issue 7 of Teen Girl Squad, the girls tell on Tompkins for "making a swear" when he said heck. In this issue, he says "Awww, Peas!", an example of a [[Wikipedia:Minced oath|minced oath]].


=== Goofs ===
*The die that crushes So And So is a [[Wikipedia:Icosahedron|20-sided die]]. [[Wikipedia:Dodecahedron|Twelve-sided dice]] have pentagonal faces.
*The blue lines on the paper are misplaced inside Tompkins' speech bubble in the Easter egg.
*At the actual Battle of the Bands concert, it's quite clear that the only instruments being played are Cheerleader's three-necked guitar and What's Her Face's bass. However, you can easily distinguish the sound of a drumset being played in the background of the song.
*Before "Kissy Boots" practice, the piano loop overlaps.
*Cheerleader is supposed to play the guitar; however, in the closet jam, the instrument she is holding has only 4 tuners like a bass.
*Two of What's Her Face's vertebrae are floating in the air after the shark bites her "most of me" off.

=== Inside References ===
*"Ooncha ooncha, one, two, three-cha" and Tompkins debuted in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]].
*The "[[-erson]]" tacked onto Mrs. So and So's name is a running gag also previously used on Teen Girl Squad Issue #7.
*Strong Bad is called a "prinicpal" (note the misspelling) by his nameplate and by Tompkins, just like in the [[Homestar Quiz]] and [[CGNU]].
*What's Her Face's desk is resting on her lap, and this could be a reference to the DVD commentary for the email "[[date]]."
*When What's Her Face points out that Mrs. So-and-so-erson has "like a million jogging suits" her mouth looks like one of the earlier versions of What's Her Face when she had huge lips. This early version is in Matt and Mike's sketchbook on the DVD.

*Cheerleader's inexplicable change of dress when she says "No yous guys" is similar to what happens to a pile of marshmallows in [[Meet Marshie]].
*When So and So talks about Tompkins being a renegade, she has an expression on her face reminiscent of [[Doreauxgard]] in [[lackey]].
*Smartly Pretty is spelled using the [[Pi]] symbol.
*What's Her Face's title card descriptions are usually meant to portray her as uncool; therefore, the "college radio!" caption probably refers to [[radio]], in which Strong Bad described college radio as "utter misery".

===Real-World References===
*"Breadtangle" refers to cafeteria pizzas which are rectangular in shape, and very bready.
*The [[Sega Tapes|Sega "tape"]] (technically a ROM cartridge) Tompkins steals in the Easter egg is "Road Rash." Road Rash was a [[Wikipedia:Sega Genesis|Sega Genesis]]/Sega MegaDrive game where you race on motorcycles and knock other racers off their motorcycles by punching them or using clubs.
*All of Kissyboots' music is taken from the in-game music of Road Rash.
*One of The Ugly One's drums reads "mr. drummond", a reference to Philip Drummond, a character in the '70s/'80s TV show ''[[IMDB:tt0077003|Diff'rent Strokes]]''.
*Cheerleader's three-necked guitar is a reference to [http://www.jemsite.com/jem/model/vai_triple.htm Steve Vai's guitar], which he played in the video for "Just Like Paradise" by David Lee Roth.
*The "16 hour drum solo" brings to mind the epic drum solos of "[[Wikipedia:In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida (song)|In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida]]" by [[wikipedia:Iron Butterfly|Iron Butterfly]] and [[wikipedia:Led Zeppelin|Led Zeppelin]] drummer [[wikipedia:John Bonham|John Bonham's]] solo in "[[Wikipedia:The Song Remains the Same (song)|The Song Remains the Same]]" or "[[wikipedia:Moby Dick (song)|Moby Dick]]".
*Cheerleader's close-up of her with a hat, moustache, glasses, and a tie is similar to that of the [[Wikipedia:Blues Brothers|Blues Brothers]], though the way she says "yous guys" also directs the reference toward Edward G. Robinson.
*The classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon [[Wikipedia:Jabberjaw|Jabberjaw]] also had a shark as a band member.
*The trolls and the gamers multi-sided die are staples of [[Wikipedia:Role_playing_game|RPGs]] such as [[Wikipedia:Dungeons and dragons|Dungeons & Dragons]].
*The trolls' language sounds vaguely "Gothic" (in the ethnic sense of the word) to go with So and So's image. It also bears a striking resemblance to [http://www.kli.org Klingon] which along with [[Wikipedia:Dungeons and dragons|Dungeons & Dragons]] are 2 of the best known geek symbols.
*The opening quote for So and So "[http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000063T50/002-1408612-1164808?v=glance Hooked on Classics]" refers to a real compilation album. It consists of classical musical themes set against rock beats.
*The pose for the shark at the end is remarkably similar to the pose of the Shark enemy in Final Fantasy 1.
*Fatty's Big Chance is clearly a Ska band, what with his checkered pants and the phrase "pick-it-up".
**This is likely a specific reference to the 1970's British ska band [[Wikipedia:Bad_Manners|Bad Manners]] and its fat, shaven-headed singer [[Wikipedia:Buster_Bloodvessel|Buster Bloodvessel]]. The checkered pants match the standard set by the British ska label [[Wikipedia:Two_Tone|Two Tone]], on which Bad Manners recorded. Additionally, Bad Manners recorded the song "Lip Up, Fatty".

Old-Timey

AAA! — Sun, 18 Feb 2007 02:57:49 GMT

AAA!: /* Toons and Appearances */ fix link

[[Image:parsnips.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Hungry in the 30s]]
The '''Old-Timey''' era (also referred to as the '''1936''' era) is the collective name for the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]] [[Toons|toons]] said to have been made in the [[Wikipedia:1930s|1930s]]; they are in essence a pastiche/tribute to [[Wikipedia:The Golden Age of American animation|the cartoons of the time]]. The toons are in black and white and have intentionally sloppy edits, a grainy and scratched appearance, and a soundtrack filled with static and pops. The characters look and sound different from their modern-day counterparts, and often have different personae, much in the way that the characters in the earliest [[Wikipedia:Mickey Mouse|Mickey Mouse]] and [[Wikipedia:Looney Tunes|Looney Tunes]] cartoons are noticeably different from later incarnations.

Most of the toons from this era, explicitly set in the [[Wikipedia:Great Depression|Great Depression]], center around The Homestar Runner, Old-Timey Marzipan and Fat Dudley's quest for food, and Old-Timey Strong Bad's attempts to foil them with the help of his sidekicks The Strong Man and The Sneak.

==Toons and Appearances==
Besides full-length Old-Timey toons, there has been many appearances of Old-Timey segments in emails and other toons. Below is a list of all the Old-Timey appearances:
*[[Kick the Can]]: (All Old-Timey toon)
*[[Parsnips A Plenty]]: (All Old-Timey toon)
*[[That A Ghost]]: (All Old-Timey toon)
*[[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]]: (All Old-Timey toon)
*[[Ballad of The Sneak]]: (All Old-Timey toon)
*[[Main Page 10]]: (All Old-Timey Main Page)
*[[20X6 vs. 1936]]: (The Homestar Runner is featured throughout the toon)
*[[Decemberween Short Shorts]]: (The Homestar Runner, Old-Timey Marzipan, and Rumble Red have a segment about Decemberween)
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 13.2]]: (The Homestar Runner and Old-Timey Strong Bad leave messages on Marzipan's answering machine)
*Email [[4 branches]]: (The Homestar Runner & Old-Timey Strong Bad have a segment about [[Polymascotfoamalate]])
*Email [[highschool]]: (In an Easter egg, The Homestar Runner, Old-Timey Strong Bad, Sickly Sam, and Don Knotts have a short segment in Rome)
*Email [[2 emails]]: (In an Easter egg, Old-Timey Strong Bad has a segment about "Uncle Strong Bad's Flavor Taste Style Chewing Powders")
*Email [[50 emails]]: (In an Easter egg, there is segment where Old-Timey Strong Bad, along with The Sneak, answer "The Electronic Message")
*Email [[alternate universe]]: (Old-Timey Strong Bad is featured in many places throughout the email)
*Email [[little animal]]: (In an Easter egg, Old-Timey Strong Bad gets in a never ending chase by Strong Man)
*Email [[radio]]: (In an Easter egg, there is a segment in which Old-Timey Strong Bad listens to his Old-Timey radio)
*Email [[flashback]]: (In an Easter egg, there is a segment in which Old-Timey Strong Bad sends a message in his telegraph machine)

==Dates==
As far as we know, all of the toons in this style take place in the 1930's, although only three of them are dated. [[Kick the Can]], [[Parsnips A-Plenty]], and [[That A Ghost]] are labeled 1933, 1936, and 1937 respectively. The early "1933" toons did not have sound and were much more cartoony than the later Old-Timey cartoons, with heads coming off, body-parts changing and characters flying away, among other things. (See the [[Old-Timey Other Costumes|variants]] from ''Kick the Can''.) Toons released in later years featured sound and were more realistic (if only slightly).

==Color==
It appears as if the Old-Timey world is actually entirely gray, rather than filmed with outdated camera equipment. Old-Timey characters are still gray when appearing in more colorful time periods, as in [[20X6 vs. 1936]], when The Homestar Runner is seen on [[Planet K]], he is still in black and white with slight visual errors appearing over him (as in the full cartoons) and crackling audio whenever he spoke. Also, Strong Bad is still in full color when he appeared in the black-and-white Old-Timey world in the email [[alternate universe]]. However, the [[Ballad of The Sneak]] establishes The Sneak as being "small and smart and yellow" so the idea of color in the Old-Timey world is still open to debate.

== Characters ==
''See also the [[Characters#Old-Timey|Characters]] page.''
* [[The Homestar Runner]] ([[Homestar Runner]])
* [[Old-Timey Marzipan]] ([[Marzipan]])
* [[Fat Dudley]] ([[Pom Pom]])
* [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]] ([[Strong Bad]])
* [[Strong Man]] ([[Strong Mad]])
* [[The Sneak]] ([[The Cheat]])

The Virus

AAA! — Sun, 18 Feb 2007 02:12:40 GMT

AAA!: /* Email "virus" */

[[Image:sbemail118.png|left|thumb|"Wagh! That is not a small number. That is a ''big'' number!"]]
[[Image:main22.PNG|right|thumb|The Virus in action]]
'''The Virus''' is the collective name of various ravenous computer viruses that infected the [[Compy 386]] in the email [[virus]]. The [[Edgar#Edgarware|Edgarware]] anti-virus software was not able to cope with the 423,827 viruses found on the machine, resulting in a total infection of the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]] universe. The resulting abnormalities were ended by [[Bubs]] and his [[Bubs' shotgun|shotgun]], who destroyed the viruses along with the Compy 386. The Virus made a reappearance in [[Main Page 22]]. The Virus caused several instances of breaking the [[Fourth Wall Breaks|fourth wall]].
{{clear}}
==Harmful Effects of The Virus==
===Email "virus"===
[[Image:Popups.PNG|thumb|right|250px|"Making out with Marzipan is totally awesome!"]]
*[[Strong Bad]] could not [[DELETED|delete]] the virus-filled email.
*The Compy experienced a "[[Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning|Flagrant System Error]]".
*The Compy's screen turned to liquid and (in Strong Bad's words) "peed the carpet."
*The computer desk turned to gridwork and appeared to absorb the [[Floppy Disk Container]].
*The [[No Loafing Sign]] turned to HTML code and vanished.
*[[Strong Sad]]'s head disconnected from his body and turned into pixelated emoticons from [[Strong Sad's Lament]], complete with description. It also caused his body (but not his floating head) to turn around and go through a looping walk cycle while still remaining in place. Eventually, he turned into a trading card from [[Character Cards|an old character page]] and flew out of the top of the screen.
*The top of a main page crept in to the top of the [[Computer Room|computer room]], turning the "Go on and see What's New!" into "Stave it off, 123" from [[for kids]], causing glitchy versions of [[Quote of the Week]], [[Weekly Fanstuff]], and the [[Sketchbook]]:
**Quote of the Week's box was backwards and bounced around the screen, lodging itself at the top. It said "Don't TAPE it!" instead of "Get it," and clicking on "Hear it" would cause a broom from [[Peasant's Quest]] to scroll across the screen and emit a loud and glitchy noise.
**Weekly Fanstuff was an upside-down picture of [[Coach Z]] from when he tackled [[The King of Town]] in [[Where's The Cheat?]] (minus the King). The description was "Stick to your Books" written in "MS Font Specialty," and the "Close" button was misspelled. Moving the cursor over the Close button caused the words "A BOOK" to appear.
**The Sketchbook turned into a Flash color mixer. Scrolling over it caused a green X to appear.
*Strong Bad was able to accidentally run outside of the box enclosing the email, out into the surrounding black background. When he tried to re-enter the [[Computer Room]], it moved to the left.
*[[Homestar Runner|Homestar]]'s body was replaced by [[The Homestar Runner]]'s, and he glided across the room rather than walking, leaving a trail of ghost images. After this, his head fell off.
*Homestar was able to pick up the words from the bottom menu.
*Several pop-ups of old-school Homestar from [[Homestar Talker]] appeared, each saying "[[Making Out|Making out]] with Marzipan is totally awesome!" One of these is an actual pop up and can be moved around like a normal window
*Marzipan turned into an [[Wikipedia:ASCII art|ASCII art]] picture of herself and emitted a loud and glitchy noise (the same noise made by the broom earlier).
*[[Strong Mad]] turned into his old [[Yearbook_Character_Page|Yearbook]] picture and his old character description appeared at the top of the screen. When he moved, he made [[Homsar]]'s walking sound.
*The King of Town was teleported to [[Teen Girl Squad]] issue π. Here, [[The Ugly One]] had a deformed mouth and did not speak in word balloons. She slapped the King nine times, as Strong Bad did to Homestar in [[crazy cartoon]].
*The H*R Loading screen was activated in the middle of the email, which then turned to a Windows 95-style "It is now safe to turn off your computer" message.
*Bubs' mouth became a broken JPEG, his eyes disappeared, his arms were stuck in one of his dance moves from [[Dancin' Bubs]], his midsection disappeared, his legs became 3D, and his shotgun looked like Homestar's leg.
*[[The Stick]] turned into sky, where a badly disproportioned Strong Bad delivered dialogue from [[The Reddest Radish]], [[The Cheat]] floated around, turning into different versions of himself, and a silhouetted [[Rather Dashing]] flew across the screen.

===Main Page 22===
*The Compy turned into several other computers from H*R, such as the [[Tandy 400]], [[Tangerine Dreams]], [[Lappy 486]], and the [[Pom Pilot]].
*The menu buttons had irregular fonts and shapes.
*Homestar's face could turn into the old-style face from [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].
*Scrolling over Games made part of the Main Page turn into a scene from [[Peasant's Quest]].
*Scrolling over Characters made Homestar speak with a deep unintelligible disorted sound.
*Scrolling over the Download button caused several popups featuring [[Monte Negro]] and [[Biscuit Dough Hands Man]]. Eventually the Edgarware screen would pop up, with Edgar replaced by a [[Powered by The Cheat]]-style Bubs, who says "...some of my buses," a garbled quote from [[mile]].
*Scrolling over the Store button makes it bigger. Homestar's head also moves to the left, and he says "Alright" rather than "Store". If you do this 22 times, the Store button will be at normal size.
*Scrolling over Toons made the [[Museum]] button fall, crushing the [[Strong Bad Email|sbemail]] and [[Email|contact]] links. You cannot click on those links until you scroll over Toons again.
*Scrolling over the Email button caused a duck from [[Duck Guardian]] to appear and be shot, blowing a hole in the HTML code, while a disproportioned Strong Bad with Marzipan's ponytail appeared in the corner, saying "Things were just about to start getting crazy-go-nuts!" from [[The Luau]].

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Strong Bad Email! Makes money! Strong Bad Email! Gets paid!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Just wondering...</div>
Dear Strongbad, 
What would you do different, if you could do it all over 
again? 
 
Crapfully yours, 
Richie Z 
Can-A-Duh
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "Totally not gettin' old" in place of "Crapfully yours," and says each syllable of "Can-A-Duh" separately with a pause between each}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Wait, you're not related to Coach Z, are you, Richie? Or Coach Zed as you Canucks ''{pronounced Ca-nooks}'' call him. Whoa. Coach Zed. That's way cooler. I'm gonna start calling him that too and maybe he won't suck so bad! Thanks, Richie! Your pal, SB ''{says as "Sed Bed", clears screen}'' Alright, what would I do different? Well, while I've never actually made a mistake, there have been a few, let's call 'em "stnanks," that could be worthy of a do-over. It's no secret that one of my biggest stnanks was involving Ali and Ali's sister. If I had to do that over again, there's no way I'd mess it up. Here's just what I'd do:

''{The "channel change" transition occurs as we cut to Strong Bad at the broken Tandy 400, and the first email from [[sisters]] is onscreen.}''
<blockquote class="tandy email">Strong Bad, 
My sister and me think you are so cool. 
Do you have a girlfriend? There is two of us. 
Yours, 
Ali</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! There's two of them!

''{He places a candle next to the computer, clears the screen, and starts typing to romantic music.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, Ali. There's ONE of me, and I'd like to cordially invite myself over to your place tonight for dinner and afterdinner mints. After afterdinner mints, you and your sister, Ali Jr. I'll call her, can fight to the death over me. Wait. ''{music stops}'' No. Hold on. No, no dying. ''{He only types one "no."}'' Um, ''{music restarts}'' we should have an egg drop soup eating contest. ''{music comes to a scratching halt and he stammers}'' Hang on. I can't remember what happens next. ''{stops typing}'' The Cheat!

''{Homestar Runner shuffles up on his knees. He's covered in yellow body paint and dressed in a yellow shirt, with The Cheat-esque spots. Attached to his head is a black tuft of hair to make him look like The Cheat.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wibble wee woo woo!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, ''this'' is hilarious. Homestar, where's The Cheat?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Squeakicoo! I'm The Cheat!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, really. Then what—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{stands up}'' Surprise! Strong Bad, it's me! Homestar Runner! ''From school!''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh! I need The Cheat!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, okay. ''{gets down on his knees again}'' Meh.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's not what I meant. Uh, I guess you'll have to do. Ahem. All right, The Cheat. I need you to help me with my award-winning rewrite of the Ali and Ali's sister email. There's two of them!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Skooko wibbo wee! You should serenade them! I can play the drum!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that sounds about right. Let's go practice!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{jumping up}'' I can play the drum!

''{Cut to The Field. Strong Bad sings into a microphone while Homestar bangs on a [[Wikipedia:floor tom|floor tom]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Don't you know I have a ''{feedback noise}'' BIG OL' RED HEAD! And a fat little body! ''{shakes body}'' And I never change my cloooothes! ''{high pitched, resulting in another feedback noise}'' No, I never change my cloooothes!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, Strong Bad? I think I'm falling for you.

''{Little hearts bubble and pop over Homestar's head. Channel change back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' No, no, no, no, no. That is not right at all. Making Homestar dressed as The Cheat fall in love with me is ''not'' what I had in mind! Whatever. Who cares? I didn't want to go to Sally's house anydangway! ''{clears screen}'' Anyways, what else? I always felt a little bad about kicking The Cheat in email 23. Let's try that one again!

''{Channel change to the non-broken Tandy 400, with the email from [[little animal]] on it.}''
<blockquote class="tandy email">What would you do if a little animal came 
up to you. 
 
crapfully yours, 
Ashley and Anthony</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...crapfully yours, Ashley and Anthony. ''{clears screen, types}'' Well, Ash and Ant, or Ley and Thony, or Shle and Ntho, or whatever you like to be called, if a little animal came up to me, I'd give him a pat on the head, a tuna-flavored treat, and some sage advice.

''{Cut back to reveal Homestar—still in his The Cheat disguise—kneeling next to Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Meh, Strong Bad. Meh.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, ''no way!'' This does not count! You are ''not'' gettin' any fish cookies outta me! But I ''will'' give you that sage advice and a ''{clears throat}'' "pat" on the head. ''{starts hitting Homestar with his keyboard}'' DON'T! EVER! DRESS! UP! As The CHEAT! AGAIN! PARSLEY! SAGE! RoseMARY! And THYME!

''{Strong Mad walks up and glares menacingly at Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' DON'T HURT THE CHEAT!!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, big guy, that's not The Cheat. That's Homestar! From school!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Meedley mee! I'm The Cheat! ''{Strong Mad smiles for a moment.}'' I'm not from school! Moooooo!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrowing his eyes}'' Uh, The Cheat's not a cow, you know...

''{Strong Mad picks Strong Bad up by the leg.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa!

''{Strong Mad starts shaking Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' THE CHEAT IS SO A COW!!!

''{As he shakes Strong Bad, coins fall out and Homestar pecks them off the ground like a chicken.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad! Put me down! You're making a terrible stnank!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It makes me all jangly inside! ''{shakes around as the coins rattle inside him}''

''{Channel change back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Alright, it's become abundantly clear that THIS is the email I should be redoing. Lappy, if you please.

''{The text disappears as the computer displays "Do Over!!!" with an accompanying explosion effect.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' DO OVER!!!

''{the original email comes back up, and Strong Bad types:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' What would I do differently Richie? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Well, except I might go back and taste out one of them Cheatcakes. ''{the scene cuts back to show the desk}'' Those things looked a-pretty good!

''{Homestar leans in, still in disguise and carrying a bag that says "MOLDY BREAD, GUYS"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Meeeeeeh?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No! Wait! Nothing! Never! I regret ''nothing''!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sadly leaving the screen}'' Meeeeeeh...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Phew!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. A few seconds later, Strong Bad taps the back of his head a few times, shaking out more coins, which land on the desk.}''

==Easter Eggs==

*Click on "Coach Zed" to see a drawing of [[Other Character Variations|Coach Zed]], who looks like a mix between [[Coach Z]] and Snoopy's brother [[Wikipedia:Spike_%28Peanuts%29|Spike]]. The picture matches the comic strip [[Peanuts]] in both drawing style and font.
*Click on the [[Floppy Disk Container]] at the end of the email to see The Cheat (disguised as Homestar Runner with kiss marks) and Marzipan together.
*:'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, can you pass the soy crisps?
*:'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises of emphatic agreement}''
*:''{The Cheat hands Marzipan a bag labeled "Crisps, A-Soy!"}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*'''Zed''' is the pronunciation of the letter "Z" in most of the [[Wikipedia:Commonwealth English|English]]-speaking world except the United States (where it is pronounced '''zee''').

*[[The Brothers Chaps]] produced a commentary for the email '''before''' producing the email itself.

===Goofs===
*The Tandy's contrast buttons are still damaged when "little animal" is first being done-over, even though the Tandy is supposed to be undamaged. When the camera zooms away, the problem fixes itself.
*When Strong Bad redoes the Tandy-era emails, the star logo is further left than in the original and "contrast" is written in a different font.
*If you click the [[Floppy Disk Container]] before Strong Bad throws the change all over his desk, then the change will already be there when you cut back.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad receives the signature [[Crapfully Yours]] yet again.
*"Stnank" was a [[Made-Up Strong Bad Animals#Stnank and Grumberto|made-up animal]] that wasn't used in the email [[animal]], but was seen in the [[Sketchbook]] (December 2, 2004).
*"Meedley mee" is a reference to the hot lixx played by Strong Bad in [[guitar]].
*Strong Bad wanting to taste a [[The Cheatcakes|Cheatcake]] is a reference to [[stupid stuff]], in which The Cheat offers him a platter of said dessert only to have it be rejected by Strong Bad.
*Homestar and Strong Bad saying "from school" might be referring to the [[Yearbook Character Page]] or [[Crazy Go Nuts University]].
**Homestar says that he's not from school, yet The Cheat does appear in the yearbook.
*Strong Bad saying "Those things looked a-pretty good!" is a reference to [[monument]], where he says almost the same thing about Technochocolate.
*The [[Explosions|explosion]] used as the background for the "Do Over!!!" message is the same one used in the [[Theme Song Video]] when Strong Bad's slot car jumps the railing and crashes onto the table.
*This is another reference to [[Kicking The Cheat]].
*The lip prints on The Cheat are the same ones as used in [[video games]].
*This is another appearance of [[Thyme]].
*There is another reference to Homestar's [[Bread|bread]] obsession.



===Real-World References===

*Strong Bad's cry of "PARSLEY! SAGE! RoseMARY! And [[Thyme|THYME!]]" is a reference to the lyrics of "[[Wikipedia:Scarborough_Fair|Scarborough Fair]]," a 16th or 17th century English ballad repopularized in the 1960s by folk-rock duo [[Wikipedia:Simon_and_Garfunkel|Simon and Garfunkel]].
*The hearts that bubble around Homestar's head are the same ones that appear whenever you type the word "love" using the chat program [http://www.hello.com/index.php Hello!].
*Homestar eating coins is similar to the ''[[Wikipedia:Family_Guy|Family Guy]]'' [[Wikipedia:Blind Ambition|episode]] that premiered the night before this email was released, in which Peter Griffin also ate coins and made a very similar jingling sound.

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

'''MIKE:''' All right, so we're doing the commentary for email 130 right now, but guess what, Matt?

'''MATT:''' What, what's that, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' We haven't even ''made'' that email yet!

'''MATT:''' Uh oh, how're we gonna do the commentary?

'''MIKE:''' I don't know let's just start talking and, uh, we'll see it works for commentary.

'''MATT:''' Strong Bad's making fun of somebody's name—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' —or reading the email probably right now. Oh, let's see, oh he's got a dumb name and he misspelled something!

'''MIKE:''' It might be called "do over" or "junk commentary".

'''MATT:''' Really.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Wow, those both sound pretty intrigue-ling.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, maybe we'll see.

'''MATT:''' How long, how do we know how long to go on for?

'''MIKE:''' We'll just go for a few minutes here and see, uh... Oh look, aah, ''{laughs}'' look what, what happened there! ''{Nothing actually happened.}''

'''MATT:''' That was pretty good!

'''MIKE:''' That was, uh, that was my idea, definitely it was the funniest part of the email and uh, I thought to do it, out of my own head.

'''MATT:''' Oh really, and what happened, Mike, in this part of the email that hasn't been—

'''MIKE:''' Well, I haven't written it yet, Matt!

'''MATT:''' Um,—

'''MIKE:''' But I know it was good!

'''MATT:''' —this one is definitely going to be an awesome email.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it's gonna... we're saving up.

'''MATT:''' All our... our tickets.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yes. Um, so this, uh — Strong Sad, uh, doesn't appear in this email.

'''MATT:''' Oh, making some executive decisions are we?

'''MIKE:''' Well, his voice might be in it.

'''MATT:''' Okay, his vo—''{laughing}'' all right, well. We're gonna successfully write this email just by talking about it.

'''MIKE:''' That's a good idea.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, so let's pretend it's called "do over".

'''MATT:''' Okay.

'''MIKE:''' He's doing, he's redoing an email that he's already done.

'''MATT:''' One, or multiple ones?

'''MIKE:''' Let's say he just does parts of multiple ones.

'''MATT:''' Okay. Uh oh, here comes Homestar! ''{Homestar actually is there.}''

'''MIKE:''' Aah wait wait, here it is!

''{both laugh exaggeratedly}''

'''MATT:''' That's the fireman.

'''MIKE:''' Oh man, that gets my goose every time.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Eww. Um, so which, so which ones is he going to do over, like old-old emails—

'''MIKE:''' Some old-old ones.

'''MATT:''' —like "tape leg"?

'''MIKE:''' Like... Why would he touch that one?

'''MATT:''' I mean that era. Of course, "tape leg" is off-limits.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Some in that era, maybe some—

'''MATT:''' Summon that era?

'''MIKE:''' Summon. I, I call upon thee to summon that era. No I think, uh, "invisibility", maybe, has some potential.

'''MATT:''' But that one's great!

'''MIKE:''' Oh I know, but it's just got a, you know, it's just maybe got a—

'''MATT:''' Go another direction?

'''MIKE:''' —maybe got one other thing. Maybe he wanted to do something else.

'''MATT:''' I hope that floating box of Swiss Cake Rolls comes back, 'cause I love those. That's my favorite part.

'''MIKE:''' Maybe, maybe the "invisibility" one, the "do over" one, he should just, uh, in the "invisibility" email just wanna hang out with the, uh, floating box, ''{laughing}'' floating box of Swiss Cake Rolls.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Act like it's not being carried by, uh---

'''MIKE:''' Right, by him.

'''MATT:''' —an invisible version of him?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' That'd be good.

'''MIKE:''' And he and the, uh, ''{laughing}'' floating box of Swiss Cake Rolls, just gonna wreak havoc.

'''MATT:''' It'd be kinda like the, uh, Wagon Fulla Pancakes.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. It'd be better than that. Funnier than that. That's ''{unintelligible}''.

'''MATT:''' You didn't think it was very funny, huh?

'''MIKE:''' ''{makes a long noise indicating "not really"}''

'''MATT:''' It was your idea if I remember correctly—

'''MIKE:''' —It was a good one!—

'''MATT:''' —to do the wagon full of pancakes.

'''MIKE:''' It's the second-funniest email ever written next to email 130.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' How long we've been goin' here, 'bout three minutes?

'''MATT:''' Ah, we got a ways.

'''MIKE:''' We got a little while, ''{stammers}'' use your own format.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Let's go for another minute yet, definitely.

'''MATT:''' Um, so I remember when we were a kid, this part. It was from when we were kids. ''{This part has nothing to do with when he was a kid.}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{holding in laughter}'' Yeah, that, that elementary school teacher we had.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, and there was this, this kid at school, too, who would do that thing, and we probably made a movie about it. Uh, me and Neil.

'''MIKE:''' And then ''{someone}'' died. I kicked him in the head.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, so we were going to put something sort of like that in a cartoon.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, and that was in our basement.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing to himself}''

'''MIKE:''' We used to do that... Sister Julie was not pleased when that happened.

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

'''MIKE:''' Um...

'''MATT:''' What else you got, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' We got about twenty seconds here, Matt. What are your parting words? This is the last commentary on the DVD. This is the last chance you've got — Make it ''matter''. That's my new motto: "Make it matter." What's yours?

'''MATT:''' Uh, my new motto is... "Matters...Matt[[Names ending in -erson|erson]]".

'''MIKE:''' Good one. I'll give you one more chance.

'''MATT:''' Wah wah wahhh! ''{the "you lose" noise}''

'''MIKE:''' That's a good one.

'''MATT:''' That's my motto.

'''MIKE:''' "Wah wah wah"?

'''MATT:''' Uh-huh.

'''MIKE:''' And what was mine?

'''MATT:''' Bump bump ba bummm!

'''MIKE:''' Make it matter. ''{laughs}''

''{The commentary is a little shorter than the email, so the toon's audio takes over.}''

==Fun Facts==
=== Fast Forward ===

*Matt's motto "Wah wah wah" is spoken by Homestar in the toon [[Cool Things]].

[[Image:main22.PNG|thumb|right|220px|"Fhqwhgads."]]

This main page has been attacked by [[The Virus]] from the email [[virus]]. Weird glitches abound.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, [[Old Man]], [[Bad Graphics Ghost]], {{Film|Biscuit Dough Hands Man}}, [[Monte Negro]], {{Film|Bubs}}, {{Film|Strong Bad}}

'''Place:''' [[Computer Room]]

'''Icon:''' [[Edgar]]

'''Page title:''' "Drop a train on em!"

'''Date:''' December 5, 2004

==Button Effects==
*'''[[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons]]''' — The museum button falls down to the bottom of the screen and takes out "sb emails" and "contact" on the navbar. Placing the cursor over the button a second time returns these back to their normal locations.
*'''[[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games]]''' — The right side of the table turns black and has a red wireframe grid on it, while the [[No Loafing Sign|No Loafing sign]] turns into HTML code. Part of [[Peasant's Quest]] becomes visible on the right side of the screen, and we can see the lake with the Old Man fishing. Placing the cursor over the button a second time returns things back to normal.
*'''[[Character Videos|Characters]]''' — Homestar speaks in the loud, distorted noise that Marzipan had in the email [[virus]] and the computer on the desk changes to one of several other computers (see list below; each computer is accompanied by the relevant version of disk media, except with the [[Pom Pilot]]).
*'''[[Downloads]]''' — [[Homestar Runner]]'s head switches to the old drawing style, and several popups appear on screen saying "Click here to WIN an e-Vacation!!" and "Make millions doing nothing!!" with [[Biscuit Dough Hands Man]] saying [[fhqwhgads]] (in the [[Visor Robot]]'s voice) on "Make millions doing nothing!!", along with Cory from the [[That A Ghost]] toon, and [[Monte Negro]] on "Click here to WIN an e-Vacation!!". The sandwich from [[Main Page 5]] appears with a voice similar to [[Coach Z]]'s voice saying, "Quarter cheese plate scattered-smothered-covered," and eventually the startup screen for [[Edgar|Edgar the Virus Hunter]] covers the whole screen. Bubs (in his [[Powered by The Cheat]] style from [[mile]]) gets superimposed intermittently over Edgar's face and says, "...some of my buses!" 
*'''[[Store]]''' — Homestar says "All right!" instead of "Store!", and his head floats to the right and into the black. As soon as his head stops moving it instantly faces to the right instead of to the left. Also, the "Store" button stretches out horizontally a little more each time you hover over it. It will stretch twenty-one times, and will revert to its original size on the twenty-second, but it will only change size when you hover over the normal-sized icon.
*'''[[Email]]''' — Homestar's head returns to its oldschool drawing style again, and a very misshapen Strong Bad with Marzipan's ponytail appears in the black to the left and says, "Things were just about to start getting crazy-go-nuts!" A duck from [[Duck Guardian]] appears in the lower right in the black and explodes, revealing some HTML code, and another duck appears over Strong Bad's mouth and explodes.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*Like the [[Strong Bad Email]] on which the page is based (virus), the navbar is in the same Flash file as the page itself.
*The main link at the bottom always leads to [[Main Page 1]].
*The Store button does not change colors when hovered over. This is the only instance of this on any main page, aside from [[Main Page 15]]'s E-Mail button.
*You can click on the museum link after it falls, but not the navbar links that it crushes ("sb email" and "contact").
*The sound made when one of the popups opens when you mouse-over Downloads is the same noise Strong Bad made when a "Message Thyme" window opened up in [[marzipan]].
*Until [[Main Page 23]] was released, this page and [[Main Page 21]] were inaccessible using the "main" link on the navbar.
*The labels on the disks in the floppy disk container read "[[Floppy Disk Container#oregon trail|oregon trail]]" and "[[Floppy Disk Container#oregon trail 2|oregon trail 2]]".
*While [[TrogdorCon '97]] was the new short, scrolling over "new short!" would make half of the Cheat's horn (from that short) appear. Clicking on the horn would start the short.

===Remarks===
*In order, the computers you can get from the Characters button are as follows (starting with the Shotgunned Compy 386):
**[[Tandy 400]] with [[Minor_Alternate_Versions#Other|Bad Graphics Homestar]] from [[butt IQ]] and 5.25" floppy container
**[[Tangerine Dreams]] with the [[crazy cartoon]] cartoon and CD-R spindle
**[[Compy 386]] with System Report (from [[50 emails]], [[The System is Down]], and [[Not the 100th Email!!!]]) taped to the screen and 3.5" floppy container
**Broken Tandy 400 with [[Bad Graphics Ghost]] and 5.25" floppy container
**[[Pom Pilot]] (alone)
**[[Lappy 486]] with 3.5" floppy container
*The floppy disk in the [[Floppy Disk Container]] says "Oregon Trail 2" for the Broken Compy, Compy with system report, and The Lappy. For both of the Tandys, it says "Oregon Trail". There are no labels on the CDs next to [[Tangerine Dreams|The Cheat's computer]].
*Each button has a different [[Fonts|font]] and/or style.
**The Toons button has the regular button font (Bauhaus Thin).
**The Games button has the navbar button font. If you view the Flash file and zoom in, you'll see the Games text seem to change to bold. This is because the text isn't embedded into the Flash file, but rather being read from your computer. To put it simply, zoomed out it's a 12 point font, but zoomed in, it's 72. It also changes font type when clicked. 
**The Characters button has the "Last Updated" font from the upper-right corner of the main page (Comix Heavy). The word "Characters" turns yellow when hovered above and it also changes green when clicked.
**The Store button has the font from the "Latest Updates" buttons (Potrezebie). Also, when it is clicked, only the word moves downwards, not the button.
**The Downloads and E-mail buttons are the older-style buttons from [[HR:main6x.swf|Old Main Page 6]], [[Luau Main Page]], and [[Main Page 10]]. These have a plain, solid-colored background unlike the newer style with shaded button backgrounds. 
*The HTML Code revealed when the duck from Duck Guardian explodes is "<html stuff><body><href>combledon".
*When the [[Random Toon|random toon]] link ("rando") was added to the [[HR:main_nav.swf|navbar]], The Brothers Chaps forgot or chose not to update this page, as it does not use the regular navbar.
*There is a Shotgunned Compy in the background, yet if it had been shot, it would seem to suggest that the viruses would be gone.
*The Quote of the Week, Sketchbook, Fan Stuff, and Random Toon boxes appear slightly to the left of where they usually are. This also affects toons that pop up, like [[Biz Cas Fri 1]].
**This is because the menu has some black space on both sides, altering where the boxes are supposed to anchor themselves.
**This glitch also pops up on the [[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]] for the same reasons.

===Glitches===
*There is a sound glitch in the Characters button. If you repeatedly play the glitched sound by hovering over 'Characters', all the sound in the file will stop for a few seconds.
*If you roll over the Store button 16 or more times, to make it grow, then roll over the Downloads button, you can still see the left edge of the Store button when Edgar pops up.
*If you highlight Downloads link, to start the animation for it, and quickly highlight Characters, Homestar's mouth opens but doesn't close, even after removing the cursor from the Characters link. This is fixed when you higlight another link.

===Goofs===
*The bottom menu is out of date, and will probably stay that way. IE: the rando is missing.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad's line "Things were just about to start getting [[Crazy Go Nuts|crazy-go-nuts]]!" is from the toon [[The Luau]].
*There are many references to the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[virus]]:
**"Drop a train on 'em!" is what Strong Bad said when he ran [[Edgar#Edgarware|Edgarware]] in virus.
**Part of the desk becoming a red vector grid is from virus.
**In [[virus]], Homestar Runner also had [[The Homestar Runner]]'s torso.
**The sound Homestar makes when you scroll over the Characters button is taken from the noises Marzipan made in virus.
**Pop-ups also appeared at the same parts of the screen in virus.
**Homestar Runner's head also came off in virus.
**Strong Bad's body becoming unporportional and getting Marzipan's hair style is also from virus.
*The "fhqwhgads" sound clip is from [[Everybody to the Limit]].
*Powered by The Cheat Bubs and his line are from the Strong Bad Email [[mile]].
*Homestar's quip of "All right!" is taken from the [[Homestar Talker]].
*Homestar's head turning backwards when going out of the screen may refer to [[Main Page 10]].
*After the Duck Guardian duck explodes, it leaves behind an html script, which was also present in [[Main Page 18]].

{{charnav|Marzipan|marzy|Pom Pom|Coach Z}}
[[Image:NewestMarzipan.png|thumb|The only girl]]

{{aboutcharacter}} {{foremail|marzipan}}

== Biography ==
'''Marzipan''' is the only female character among the [[Characters#Main Characters|primary characters]] of the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner universe]]. She is tall and thin, wears her hair in a bright yellow ponytail, (although in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 12.2]], she claims that yellow is not her true hair color, suggesting that she dyes it), and is almost always seen wearing a purple dress embellished with white trim and gold buttons. Like [[Homestar Runner]], she does not appear to have [[Lack of Visible Arms|visible arms]]. Nevertheless, she is still able to pick up and handle objects without any hint of difficulty; for example, she can play the guitar fairly well. Marzipan is the only character voiced by [[Missy Palmer]].

Marzipan is Homestar's [[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship|girlfriend]]. Early on in the site's history, this seemed to be the primary reason for her existence. Her character has developed greatly over time, however, and their relationship no longer appears to be their main connection. Marzipan has actually broken up with Homestar on several occasions, some of which were due to his unintentional mean streak, others to the fact that she wished to demonstrate her independence. At times, Homestar even shows feelings of contempt and resentment toward his girlfriend, as seen in the email [[narrator]] (where he calls her "some type of enormous alien cow") and [[Happy Fireworks]] (where he uses a [[Cardboard Marzipan|cardboard cutout]] to imitate her and then tells "her" to shut up). Luckily for Homestar, she continues to love him dearly, and the two always seem to end up together again.

Marzipan's status as the only girl in [[Free Country, USA]] has made her the target of quite a few prank messages on her [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|answering machine]] (most of them left by Strong Bad), as well as the unsolicited romantic attentions of several other characters (most notably [[Coach Z]] and [[Bubs]]). Despite all this, she is very kind and is friends with almost everyone (though she is not fond of [[The King of Town]], and she [[marzipan|really doesn't like Strong Bad at all]]).

[[Image:Marzysign.png|thumb|left|"I'm off to the Chinchilla protest."]]
[[Strong Bad]] once described Marzipan as a "dirty hippie without the dirt". She is a strict vegetarian — she especially enjoys [[Tofu|tofu]] and other soy products (though in the email [[coloring]] she stated that soy is also murder) — and she spends much of her time singing and playing her guitar. Most of her songs are about happiness and nature. She often makes protest signs to express her views on issues of varying and personal interest — among these are "[[Wikipedia:Chinchilla|Chinchillas]] OUT!! (of my basement)", "[[Decemberween|December Ween]] Kills Bunnies", and "Down with D'Ween".

[[Image:Marzipan sleep.PNG|thumb|Marzipan sleeping]]
Marzipan has been mistaken for a baseball bat, a bell, and a broom. Her "Joey Ramone" costume in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] seems to suggest that she may actually be shaped like a bell. By contrast, the emails [[secret recipes]], [[date]] and [[secret identity]] all show her sitting in a manner that seems to contradict that possibility. In the email [[big white face]], Strong Bad mentions that her head is like a baseball bat. In the email [[long pants]], she claims that she is not a broom, much to Homestar's surprise. In [[highschool]], she is shown to have long, skinny legs like Daphne from the Scooby-Doo cartoons, but due to the fact that Strong Bad has an "unphotographic memory" (or "doodle memory"), this may or may not be true. Though she is often mistaken for such distinctly shaped objects, Strong Bad claims that she is [[Wikipedia:Human|human]] in [[retirement]]. Her humanlike appearance in [[highschool]] seems to support this claim.

Marzipan has a tendency to anthropomorphize inanimate objects — for example, her guitar's name is [[Carol]], and she once asked [[Strong Sad]] to resurrect her ficus plant, [[Credenza]], from the dead. In addition, she has occasionally been fooled by poor imitations of Homestar, such as [[Tofu Homestar]] from [[The Luau]] and [[The Cheat|The Cheat's]] costume from the email [[do over#Easter Eggs|do over]]. She once named an ordinary sandwich "[[Homestar Jr.]]" and started treating it as though it were a small child, and in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], she created a potion that could transform Homestar into several different forms, including a strange clone of herself. It is unclear if any of these behaviors reflect a desire to change, replace, or accept alternate versions of her boyfriend.

Marzipan sometimes works with other characters on various projects. For example, The Cheat made a Flash video for her song "[[Oh yeah yeah]]", and she recently teamed up with The Cheat and [[Strong Mad]] to form a band called [[Cool Tapes]], in which she sings lead and plays Carol. She has appeared in the ''[[Dangeresque]]'' series of short films, and once attempted to teach Strong Bad how to make [[lady fan|an attractive centerpiece]] out of junk mail and kitty litter. She has also hosted a [[Fall Float Parade]] with Coach Z and taught a "kindergarten" class with Homestar, Strong Mad, and Homsar as students in [[coloring]].

Although Marzipan currently wears a long dress that seems to fit her hippie lifestyle, Strong Bad's "doodle memory" shows us that, back in [[highschool|high school]], she had shorter hair and wore a very short skirt and lipstick.

{{aboutcharacter}} {{foremail|marzipan}}

== Biography ==
'''Marzipan''' is the only female character among the [[Characters#Main Characters|primary characters]] of the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner universe]]. She is tall and thin, wears her hair in a bright yellow ponytail, (although in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 12.2]], she claims that yellow is not her true hair color, suggesting that she dyes it), and is almost always seen wearing a purple dress embellished with white trim and gold buttons. Like [[Homestar Runner]], she does not appear to have [[Lack of Visible Arms|visible arms]]. Nevertheless, she is still able to pick up and handle objects without any hint of difficulty; for example, she can play the guitar fairly well. Marzipan is the only character voiced by [[Missy Palmer]].

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I met her in the summertime. Her name was... ''{high pitch singing}'' e-mail!

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hey Strong Bad, 
 
I thought you looked cute as a 
Japanese cartoon with the blue hair 
and everything. ^_~ I was thinking 
you might look even better if you got 
out in the sun and got a nice tan. I've 
heard that a nice tan really 
helps your muscles stand out. 
 
Meg, 
KS</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "HEH-OH HEE! I think that's how you say that..." for the emoticon "^_~". He also reads "KS" as K.S.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' That's a good point, KS. With the summer months all up on us, I'll probably be going shirtless more often than usual. I know one thing the ladies love more than a regular Strong Bad is a lightly toasted Strong Bad. ''{clears screen}'' And I guess it'll help to accentuate my abdominal muscles and my abs, and my cloits. They're already bulging all over the place as it is, but I guess a little more definition wouldn't kill me.

''{Cut to Strong Bad lying on a towel, sunbathing in The Field. Next to him are buckets labeled "Animal Phat — 'it's lard, yo!'" and "cocoa butter"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, c'mon, sun, show me what you got. Don't pull no punches neither. I want the real radioactive stuff.

''{The King of Town enters, wearing round sunglasses}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{sniffs}'' Gooh. ''{sniffs}'' Oh, there it is!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rising from his towel}'' There ''what'' is?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ooh, nothing. Hi, Strong Bad. How are you this day?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I was certainly better before you showed up. I'm still doing pretty good.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{sneakily stealing the cocoa butter while Strong Bad isn't looking}'' Oh, good. That's all I wanted to know. I guess I'll be moving on to different smell—place. ''{shoots off to the left taking the cocoa butter}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the—? Hey! He took my cocoa butter!

''{The King of Town peeks back in and grabs the Animal Phat}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? Aw!

''{The words "6–8 hours later..." in the Compy email loading style appear on screen. Cut to Strong Bad sunbathing again. His chest is now extremely pink. Marzipan enters with a large, green oriental-style paper umbrella, and she is smiling}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Strong Bad, how long have you been laying here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunno, six, maybe eight hours.

'''MARZIPAN:''' You know, you're supposed to flip over every 15 minutes or so...

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! Who wants a tan on their back? There's no abs to accentuate. Not like up here. ''{stands, admiring his non-existent abs}'' Ooh, check it out, Ab City, USA. ''{Shaking hips. We can see that Strong Bad's back is lily-white.}'' Do-doot do.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Strong Bad, I don't see a single ab.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What are you talking about, it's like a cold one brewery over here, there's so many six-packs. ''{produces a sharpie marker}'' Check it out, ''{draws abs onto his chest}'' one, two, threefourfivesix. ''{grins at Marzipan}'' Oops, forgot the hatching. ''{adds shading}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Aren't you supposed to have pecs?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't need 'em! That's why they call me Double A: ''All Abs!''

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's weird.

''{Marzipan leaves}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, I bet I could make some serious dough off this idea. I could be like, a thousandaire, or at least a hundredaire.

''{Cut to fake ad, with Strong Bad's Ab-Abber 2000 zooming in slowly}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Introducing the all new Strong Bad Ab-Abber 2000! Get results like the professionals in ''{words appear on screen}'' Minutes! Nay! Seconds! Just listen to this guy over here!

''{cut to Strong Sad holding the Ab-Abber 2000}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{sounding like he is reading off of a tele-prompter}'' Since using Strong Bad's Ab-Abber Two Thousand ''{pronounces "thousand" as "Thous And"}'', the ladies have been all up ons. ''{talking to Strong Bad off camera}'' All up ons? I don't know what that means!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{off camera}'' Well, Strong Sad, it means they really like you.

'''STRONG SAD:''' But they don't! Especially now with all this Sharpie on my stomach.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just read the lines, man. ''{Strong Bad's hand appears on camera holding a plush lobster}'' Do you want to see Gooblies again or not?

'''STRONG SAD:''' You leave Gooby out of this!

''{Cut to a close-up of the Ab-Abber 2000 box with words "Act Now!" flashing at the top of the screen}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Act now and receive the Cloitsterizer ''{words appear at bottom of screen}'' Abs-solutely free! ''{words disappear}'' Max out your ''{"Cloits and Dloits!!?!" flashes in center screen}'' Cloits and Dloits with the ease of a thousandaire. Strong Bad's Ab-Abber 2000. ''{words appear}'' "They'll be all up ons!"

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

<pre>Strong Bad's Ab-Abber 2000 Instruction Manual

Use fine tip black
marker(not included)
to define the desired
abdominal muscles
(abs). Repeat as
often as necessary.

*Actual
drawing</pre>

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*The use of "^_~" to represent a wink is an example of an [[Wikipedia:Emoticon|emoticon]]. An emoticon, also called a smiley, is a sequence of printable characters such as :) or :-) that is intended to represent a facial expression and convey an emotion. Emoticons that can be understood without turning one's head to the side are often considered to be of [[Wikipedia:Emoticon#East Asian style|East Asian style]].

===Trivia===
*According to the commentary on the DVD:
**Matt actually once had a stuffed lobster named Gooblies.
**The sunglasses the King of Town wears actually belong to Marzipan. They were based on an old pair Matt had, which he broke while shooting the Fhqwhgads karaoke video for the DVD.
**[[The Cloitsterizer]] was actually an item that Matt and Mike saw a kid dragging in a thrift store.
*Marzipan is carrying a toothpick parasol one would normally receive with a tropical drink, only hers seems to be much larger than normal.
*This is the only time the King of Town has moved with any speed.

===Remarks===
*The first bucket says "Animal Phat." Phat is a slang word meaning "cool," although it's intended to mean actual fat in this case. This ties in with the second phrase on the bucket: "It's lard, yo!," both a reference to the bucket's contents and the play on words.
*Abdominal muscles, abs, and cloits are essentially the same thing.
*According to the instructions of the Ab-Abber 2000, all you get is the box itself and the instructions, as the marker is not included.
*Strong Bad appears to be sunburned after he lies in the sun for 6-8 hours, but doesn't appear to be feeling any pain.
*Strong Bad draws hatching on his abs on the opposite side of the shading on his body, as though the lighting was coming from two different directions.

===Goofs===
*The abs drawn on Strong Sad's stomach have the bizarre side effect of making his belly button completely disappear.
*When Strong Bad draws the abs on, his legs are in front of his body.

===Glitches===
*When Strong Bad says "Her name was Email" in the email song, the horns on his mask protrude above his head instead of being flat on his face like usual.

===Inside References===
*When showing the commercial of Strong Bad's Ab-Abber, the music that plays is taken from [[action figure]].

===Real-World References===
*The facial hair on the man in the instructions is very similar to the style that was adopted by [[Wikipedia:Frank Zappa|Frank Zappa]].
*The term thousandaire was used in Rocky & Bullwinkle's Fractured Fairy Tales in a parody of Little Red Riding Hood, where one of the wolf's lines is "I'm on my way to being a thousandaire!" Hundredaire, on the other hand, is purely Strong Bad.
*[[Wikipedia:Sharpie (marker)|Sharpies]] are a brand of permanant marker.

===Fast Forward===
*The term [[All up ons]] became a running gag on the site.

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

'''MATT:''' Welcome to "suntan."

'''MIKE:''' We're joined here by Marzipan once again.

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's right.

'''MIKE:''' What do you think of that song? That's a little more tender side of Strong— Strong Bad, Marzipan.

'''MARZIPAN:''' He has this— He, he does have a tender side.

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' Say something else.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, I'm listening right now.

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I, I liked this e-mail...

'''MIKE:''' I like your, um... Well, we'll talk about it when it comes on.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Okay.

'''MATT:''' I remember we did this, it was kind of— Didn't I just come back from a vacation and actually had a pretty bad, pretty bad sunburn?

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Yeah, so, timely.

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's true. You know, and after this e-mail for the next few months, uh, Matt and Mike both kept drawing abs on their bodies and going around shirtless in the studio. ''{Mike laughs}'' It was very distracting for most of us ladies.

'''MIKE:''' I wish I could have that towel.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I mean, that— that's a towel that, conceptually I swear I've seen before, but now I've searched ''{Mike chuckles}'' far and wide and can't find one with a Bengal tiger on it. Or a Siberian tiger on it?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{overlapping}'' Those are— those are my sunglasses that the King of Town is wearing.

'''MATT:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' Those are pretty sweet.

'''MATT:''' They're modeled after these, uh, glasses I have for sunchaps  ''{unintelligible}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Really?

'''MATT:''' Yeah. ''{short pause}'' That I actually just broke when we were doing the, uh, the half-pipe stuff for the karaoke video for "Everybody to the Limit."

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Oh, yeah.

'''MATT:''' They're broken now.

'''MIKE:''' You can watch that. If you watch closely, you can see the glasses fall off.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{gasps watching her character enter frame on the e-mail}'' Oh! That is the, um, the umbrella from Mike's cocktail.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I just grabbed that at the last minute; I thought it really added to the scene.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I really like that.

'''MATT:''' It's clearly— yeah, it's clearly just a cocktail umbrella though, made large. ''{short pause}'' Now here's my favorite song. ''{Strong Bad says, "Do-do do" in the email}'' That's a good song.

'''MIKE:''' "Do-do do"?

'''MATT:''' Look, he's Neapolitan Strong Bad, with no chocolate.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah, it was really hot out that day.

'''MATT:''' It looks pretty hot. There's some sweltering orange sky back there.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Yeah, I did that uh...

'''MARZIPAN:''' Fortunately, I never sweat.

'''MIKE:''' ''{amused}'' Really?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, wait, see? Look, Marzipan's eyes '''were''' backwards!

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Yeah, yeah, you're right, you're right.

'''MATT:''' I, I apologize, Marzipan, on behalf of my brother Mike.

'''MARZIPAN:''' It made working very difficult that day. ''{Mike chuckles}''

'''MATT:''' I bet. ''{pause}'' Did our friend Tobin coin that phrase? Or does he just use it?

'''MIKE:''' "Hundredaire"?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I don't know; it's possible.

'''MATT:''' He uses it extensively, which is good.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Who modeled for that, um, box top?

'''MIKE:''' Think it's Strong Bad.

'''MATT:''' Think it's Strong Bad himself.

'''MIKE:''' He's a character from our website. ''{Matt chuckles}''

'''MATT:''' The background is great, Mike; it's very true to the, to the infomercial—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Ron— ''{chuckles}''

'''MATT:''' yeah, Ron, Ron Popeil.

'''MIKE:''' And here's, uh— Matt really had a, uh, stuffed lobster named Gooblies.

'''MATT:''' It's true. I don't know what Gooblies meant.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' There he is.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' The Cloitsterizer is something we actually saw; eh, it's mentioned elsewhere on this DVD, but we saw a kid dragging that around a thrift store one day—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' —a piece of wooden cheese on a string.

Derek asks Strong Bad if he can play the guitar.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}}

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]]

'''Computer:''' [[Tandy 400]]

'''Date:''' July 14, 2002

'''Running Time:''' 1:20

'''Page Title:''' Tandy 400: Still Broken.

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc One}}

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oh, tap your toes and check your email, oh a-tap your toes tonight... ''{stops singing}''

<blockquote class="tandy email">Hey Strong Bad whats up? 
 
Can you play the Guitar? 
 
Derek Highet 
Northern California</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad has some trouble pronouncing the surname "Highet," saying, "Hig-het. Uh, hey, hi, hi-het {with the second "h" said with a Spanish accent}, hiyet—hi-yet."}''

{''Throughout the email, Strong Bad types every syllable he sings.''}

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Derek. Not much, man. Yeah I can play the guitar. I know all about virtuosos ''{pause}'' and trembalos ''{pause}'' and arpeggios. ''{says it as "ar-PEG-ios, then pauses}'' I can do it all. I can play your basic rhythm guitar, like... ''{singing}'' jug jigga jug jigga jug jigga jug jigga jug jigga JAH JAH, jiggidy jug jigga jug jigga jug jigga jug jigga jug jigga JAH JAAH! ''{stops singing}'' You know, something like that. I can also play some pretty hott lixx, too. You know the kind that are just way up high on the tiny strings and you mash your fingers on 'em. ''{singing}'' meedley meedley meedley meedley meedley meedley meedley meedley meedley meedley meedley meedley MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. ''{stops singing, starts typing faster}'' Yeah, yeah and then Strong Mad comes in on his bass and he's like, ''{singing}'' dou dow da dou da da DOU da dou da dou dou ''{stops singing}'' and The Cheat comes in on his keyboards and he's like boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boop boo and then I'm like "And the dragon comes in the NIIIiiiiIIIiiiiIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiIIIIIIIIiiiIIGGHH— 

''{Strong Bad falls out of his chair.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Augh... Oh yeah!

''{Strong Bad sticks up his arm up from the bottom of the screen and lights the BMW lighter as people do at rock concerts. [[The Paper]] comes down. After a short time, the lighter singes The Paper.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*"[[Wikipedia:Arpeggio|Arpeggio]]" literally means "like a harp." The [http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=arpeggio term] is used to indicate that the notes of a certain [[Wikipedia:Chord_(music)|chord]] are to be played quickly one after another (usually from lowest to highest) instead of at the same moment.
*"Trembalo" is not a proper musical term. Strong Bad is referring to a "[[Wikipedia:tremolo|tremolo]]." A [http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=tremolo tremolo] is a rapid repetition of the same note, or an alternation between two or more notes.
*A "[[Wikipedia:Virtuoso|virtuoso]]" is a person who is exceptionally good at playing a musical instrument.

===Trivia===
*This is the first appearance of the [[BMW Lighter|BMW lighter]].
*Strong Bad says The Cheat would come in on his keyboard, when The Cheat actually plays drums.


===Goofs===
*The number of "jug jiggas" and "meedleys" typed does not match up to the number of "jug jiggas" and "meedleys" Strong Bad sings.
*Between "Bass" and "And", there are two spaces.


===Fast Forward===
*"And the dragon comes in the night" is used again as "And the Trogdor comes in the night" in the Trogdor song in [[dragon]] and [[Trogdor (song)|Trogdor]] in Strong Bad's CD, ''[[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]]''.
**This phrase is further referenced at the end of the [[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer]].
*There are some more "Jug Jiggas" during the long Flash intro on [[Strong Bad's Website]].
*Strong Mad plays the bass in the toon [[Cool Things]]. 
*Strong Bad's "Meedly Meedly..." line is downloadable in the Strong Bad Quotes Pack from the [[Downloads]] Page.

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

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

'''MIKE:''' This email is titled Guitar.

'''MATT:''' It's near and dear to our hearts.

'''MIKE:''' We grew up reading ''Guitar for the Practicing Musician'' and ''Guitar World'' and ''Metal Edge'', and um...

'''MATT:''' Rather, our brother Donnie read all of them.

'''MIKE:''' ''Hit Parade'', ''Circus Magazine''

'''MATT:''' ''Kerrang!''. Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''RIP''. Remember the ''RIP''?

'''MIKE:''' I think that's, that's all of them. That's so, yeah, we um... ''{short pause}'' we knew all about virtuosos and arpeggios.

''{Matt laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' And trembolos. I took guitar in 8th grade. I didn't, I was never very good, though.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. This one goes out to all those dudes that lurk around the guitar shop and won't go away, and all I want to do is buy some strings and maybe a pick and they make

'''MIKE:''' They make—

'''MATT:''' —me feel really intimidated and want to leave. And it seems like this actually appealed to a lot of, it seemed to get circulated among tab sites and sites that like guitar.

'''MIKE:''' Tab and, like, Diet Coke and—

'''MATT:''' Tabulatures, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, oh, oh!

'''MATT:''' It's a term!

'''MIKE:''' I thought you were talking about die—diet sodas.

'''MATT:''' It's a guitar term. ''{pause}'' There you go, and of course, that later becomes a part of Trogdor, the song called Trogdor from website homestar.com.

'''MIKE:''' There's the first appearance of the BMW lighter.

'''MATT:''' Watch as it burns the paper! So burns.

=== Fun Facts ===
*''[[Wikipedia:Guitar World|Guitar World]]'', ''Metal Edge'', ''Kerrang!'', ''RIP'' and ''Circus Magazine'' are (or were) all music magazines. ''Hit Parade'' possibly refers to ''Hit Parader''.
*[[Wikipedia:Tab (soft drink)|Tab]] was the first diet soda produced by the [[Wikipedia:Coca-Cola Company|Coca-Cola Company]].

== Transcript ==
''{We begin by looking at a sesame seed bun with mayo being spread over it. Each time the knife passes over it, the credits displayed on the mayo change. "This is a Homestar Runner Cartoon" "Mike, Craig and Matt wrote it" "Matt and Mike made it" "Matt and Missy did the voices" "its called: Where's the Cheat?" We zoom out to see Homestar Runner in Marzipan's kitchen making a veggie burger. He puts green olives on top and sticks them on with toothpicks.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{making sound effects for the olives}'' Dik, doing! Dik, sboing!

''{The sandwich is finished, Homestar lifts it up to marvel at his creation}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hmm! ''{walks over to Marzipan, who's taking a nap on her couch}'' Hey, stupid! I brought you this stuff! Oh, I mean, I brought you this veggie burger.

''{Marzipan gets up from the couch and Homestar hands her the burger.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, thanks, Homestar! ''{looks at the burger}'' Oh! He's just adorable! He's got a little face.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I thought that was great, too. The olives, um, kinda look like... he has eyes.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Little green eyes with red pupils and a big leafy smile? Homestar, I don't think I'm gonna eat this. He's just too cute!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Umm... yeah. It's cute and all, but, um, it's not ''that'' cute.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, yes he is that cute! Aren't you that cute? Aren't you that cute?

''{The phone begins to ring, and continues during the following dialogue.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Umm... Marzipan? Um, I think your phone... is ringing. Yeah, definitely your phone's ringing.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Yes you are. Yes... you... are! Oh yes you are. Now do a little smile for me. Do a smile, that's it. That's it. Oh, I like your lettuce.

''{Cut to Marzipan's Answering Machine.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um... are you gonna get that?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{answering machine}'' Hi, this is Marzipan. Please leave me a message. ''{beep}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leaving a message}'' Oh, hey Marzipan. Have you seen The Cheat? Because we can't find him anywhere. Anyways, this is Strong Bad and— uh, ooh, um... ''{clears throat and starts mimicking Homestar's style of speech, poorly}'' I mean this—this is Homestar... Runner. Oh Marzipan... um... I killed Pom Pom!

''{Cut to the stick; Strong Bad, Pom Pom, and Strong Mad are there. Strong Bad is talking on Pom Pom's cell}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, we're—we were playing badminton in his yard... and I got mad and I killed him! ''{cut back to the answering machine}'' Oh no, I need your help... burying his body...

''{Strong Bad is snickering, cut back to the field}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, bring some towels... and some garbage bags... Uh... this is Homestar...

''{Strong Bad closes the cell phone and tosses it to Pom Pom.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Pom Pom, cell.

''{Pom Pom's body absorbs the cell phone}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{bursts out laughing}'' Bwa ha ha ha! Oh man, that was so great! You guys shoulda heard that man! I pretended to be Homestar, and I said I killed you, Pom Pom! Like, Marzipan's gonna freak out—

'''STRONG MAD:''' THE CHEEEEEAAAAT! Huh?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, The Cheat. Right, right. Pom Pom, cell again.

''{Pom Pom lowers his eyelids in annoyance, bubbles, and gives him the cell again. Strong Bad makes a call and Strong Sad answers.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hello?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey wiener. Is The Cheat over there? Don't you guys play Candy Land sometimes or something?

''{Cut to Strong Sad's room.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh no. The Cheat and I play Jenga on Tuesdays. Tonight is my night to play—

''{Cut back to The Stick.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{heard from Pom Pom's cell}'' —Caaardinal Sins.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, so The Cheat is not there. Thanks. Bye. ''{hangs up and tosses the cell back to Pom Pom}'' I mean, where could he be, you know? It's like, what part of "Meet us at the stick" didn't he understand? Well, I guess we should go look for him. Come on, guys.

''{They all walk off and arrive at Bubs' Concession Stand. Bubs is going over "inventory," handwritten on a piece of paper.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{mumbling}'' —see here... twenty-four... seventeen... ''{normal}'' Hey you guys! This isn't another shake-down, is it?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Naw, man. We're just looking for The Cheat. You seen him?

'''BUBS:''' Well, let's see here. ''{goes through his inventory}'' Candy bars, popcorns, ketchup, catsup... ''{arrives at "cheats... 0"}'' Uh, nope! I'm fresh outta Cheats.

''{Cut to Marzipan's living room, using the veggie-burger as a scene change a la Batman logo in the old Batman show. She's talking to the burger, while Homestar is standing there in a daze, slowly tipping over.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{while Marzipan talks}'' Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh....

'''MARZIPAN:''' Somebody needs a name! Who needs a name? You need a name, that's who! I think I'll call you Homestar Junior. Homestar Junior! ''{Homestar falls over}'' Do a smile for me, Homestar Junior! Who's the cutest, Homestar Junior?

''{Cut to Coach Z's locker room, using the same veggie-burger scene change. Bubs, Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and Pom Pom are facing the Coach.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Sorry, boys, I haven't seen The Chort. Though I have caught him sleepin' in that far locker there from time to time.

''{Strong Bad goes up to the locker and opens it up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lessee what we got in there. Nope, he's not here. Though I see he ''has'' been cheating on his New Year's Resolution. ''{pulls out a pack of cigarettes}'' Though I can't really blame him. You know, because he's The Cheat.

''{Strong Mad holds up a signed picture of The Cheat that he gave to Strong Mad. It's signed "To Strong Mad, You are rad! —The Cheat" Strong Mad starts crying.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't worry, big guy. We'll cut to a montage. I mean, find The Cheat.

''{Cut to a montage. Pom Pom puts up posters of The Cheat, titled "Have You Seen The Cheat???? Ht: 1 ft. 2 in. Wt: 18 lbs." He then bounces off. Strong Mad walks through the Halloween area. He overturns the [[Gremlin]], revealing the Goblin underneath.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' The Cheat?

''{The Goblin starts dancing. We do a logo transition, this time using one of the posters Pom Pom was putting up. We are in Strong Sad's room. He's playing Connect Four.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay, your turn.

''{Cut to the other side of the table, where Homsar is sitting.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' Oh no! You shanked my Jengaship!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{slight pause}'' I shanked your Jengaship? We're playing Connect Four!

''{Bubs walks in.}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey you guys. Where The Cheat is at?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, I don't know. It's just us two.

'''HOMSAR:''' AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Hey, Tubbs! I just lost my Jengajam.

'''BUBS:''' ''{stares for a second, then responds}'' Don't you talk to me.

''{Bubs walks off. Cut to Strong Badia. Strong Bad walks in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat? The Cheat! ''{His voice echoes as the wind howls. He groans.}'' How's it going, Tire?

''{Cut to The Poopsmith and Coach Z near The Poopsmith's pile.}''

'''COACH Z:''' So you haven't seen him then? ''{The Poopsmith shakes his head}'' Okay. Though I see you still got your pile of whatsit there.

''{The Poopsmith nods.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Doo hoo hoo!

''{Coach Z and The Poopsmith turn to look and the camera follows them, cutting to the King of Town approaching his grill with a steak.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Doo dee doo doo doo! Doo hoo hoo hoo!

''{He lifts the cover of the grill to find The Cheat sleeping there}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oh! That little yellow thing! Wake up!

''{Cut back to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey look! The King's gone mad with power! He's gonna eat The Chort!! JEEEOOOOORRRHH!

''{Coach Z leaps onto the King of Town's back, clinging to his head. The impact sends the King's crown flying, and it lands on Coach Z's head, who continues to cling as the King of Town runs back and forth. Strong Mad steps into view}''

'''COACH Z:''' I got him, Strong Mad!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Woo hoo! Woo hoo hoo! I'm absolutely being assaulted! Woo hoo hoo hoo!

''{Strong Mad cocks his fist back and brings it forward, punching the King of Town (with Coach Z still on him), and they both go flying into the wall of the King's castle. Strong Bad approaches.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hang on, everybody! The King of Town was not going to eat The Cheat.

'''COACH Z:''' Ooh jeez! Sorry about that there, Kingy.

''{Coach Z and the King of Town walk up to the grill, and Pom Pom arrives from the opposite direction}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, no, no, no. That's where The Cheat ''lives''. That's his house!

'''COACH Z:''' Wait a minute! The Chort lives in the King of Town's grill, but you didn't think to check there before now?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh... Well... yeah. I mean, it's a really complicated story. It all started...

''{Marzipan arrives with the veggie-burger.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey guys! Homestar Junior's talking now!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Who?

'''MARZIPAN:''' He said, "Put that freakin' sandwich down!"

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{from behind Marzipan}'' No, it was me!

''{Marzipan holds up Homestar Jr. so that it blocks Homestar's head from our view, making it look like the sandwich has a body}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' I know it was, sweetie!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, me! Homestar Runner! ''{waggles his body}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' You're Homestar Junior, remember?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Will you put that freakin' sandwich down?!

'''MARZIPAN:''' There, he said it again! I'm so proud of you! Who's the best, Homestar Junior?

''{She continues to baby-talk Homestar Junior under Homestar's dialogue as the scene cuts to a silhouetted wide shot. The screen slowly fades to black.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Somebody, can I get some help here? Strong Bad? ''{Strong Bad shrugs.}'' Would someone talk some sense into this woman?

''{Fade to black.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' King, you wanna eat that sandwich? {music cuts out} Somebody eat that sandwich...

''{After a pause, fade into a commercial for "The Homestar Jr."}''

'''MAN:''' Introducing the Homestar Junior. For a limited time only, certain children get prizes. Pay 99 cents.

===Trivia===
*This is the first big 'toon on the site featuring [[The Brothers Chaps]]' current style of animation.
*This is currently the second longest 'toon, short, or email on the entire site. This is closely followed by [[Halloween Fairstival]], which is 13 seconds shorter. The email [[retirement]] is about 35 seconds longer.
*The cookie jar in Marzipan's kitchen is modeled after [[Rejected Characters#Trivia Time|Trivia Time]], Pom Pom's dog that never saw the light of day in any cartoons.
*This toon marks the beginning of Strong Sad's more or less fully developed "delicate" voice. There were still some remnants of his "tired" voice in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]].
*This is the first time Homsar is acknowledged by a character other than Strong Bad.
*This cartoon marks the debut of [[The Stick]].
*The ring of Marzipan's phone is default ringin.wav file in Microsoft Windows.
*This is the first regular toon to feature every main character.
*The announcer who says, "Introducing the Homestar Junior..." was [[Mike Chapman|Mike]].
*The following is hidden in the code if one views the source:<blockquote style="font-family: monospace">"A Jorb HOME VISITORS Well Done" written, directed, drawn and animated by the Brothers Chaps all voices by Matt Chapman 0 1 2 3 4 Job vs. JAERB "A" "E" "O" JOERGHB! the businessman's job is giving the business JOB the construction worker's job is to smash things the poopsmith's job is obvious "job" - 285,194 times ghetto blastro "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times "job" - 285,194 times the end</blockquote>
**This was automatically generated by Flash, which automatically puts all the text from a movie into the HTML file for the search engines. This text is from [[A Jorb Well Done]], which suggests they simply edited the HTML file for that cartoon for this one. Strangely, though, the A Jorb Well Done HTML file doesn't have this text.
*This is the first appearance of The Goblin outside of a Halloween cartoon.

===Remarks===
*When the The King of Town is walking toward his grill, a flyer for The Cheat is seen stapled to his stone castle wall, which is impossible, since staples could never go through stone. Although, the castle may not be made of stone.
*The old pop-up menu appears on this cartoon (at the bottom). All the buttons still work. Only this toon, [[A Jorb Well Done]], [[Chinese Food Toons Menu]], and the [[Yearbook Character Page]] seem to still have it.
*The Cheat weighs more than 4 times as much as Pom Pom.
*Bubs's "fresh outta Cheats" is a rare use of The Cheat's name without an [[Integral Article|integral article]].
*The Cheat apparently prefers "Trophy Lights" brand [[Smoking#Cigarettes|cigarettes]], in keeping with his [[Trophies|trophy]] obsession seen in [[crazy cartoon]].
*Marzipan apparently doesn't have any legs. This was previously revealed in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].
*The Cheat shouldn't be able to fit in The King of Town's grill

===Goofs===
*In the beginning, Homestar's toothpicks appear from nowhere.
*Right before The King of Town comes up when Coach Z is talking to The Poopsmith, Coach Z quickly changes his hand gesture. Apparently, The Brothers Chaps accidentally left the graphic for his other gesture there for a couple frames.
*Bubs's legs are missing when he is talking with Homsar and Strong Sad.
*Throughout random parts of the cartoon, one of Strong Bad's eyes is significantly larger than the other.
*When Strong Sad and Homsar are playing Connect Four, the piece that Strong Sad puts in is not seen later.
*When Homestar mentions that the olives on Homestar Junior do in fact look like eyes, his eyes are reversed from the previous shot.
*The title has the phrase, "Its called," which should actually be "It's called."
*The first time Strong Bad returns the cell phone to Pom Pom, the orange creases in Pom Pom's surface where the cell phone is absorbed don't completely disappear; they fade to almost nothing, but are still visible for the remainder of the shot.
*As Homestar is walking out of Marzipan's kitchen, his shirt changes to the old magenta color. It stays this color up to the close-up of Homestar Junior, and remains the newer bright red for the remainder of the toon.
*The last frame shows that Homestar Junior is available at "parcipitating" locations (though this may be intentional).
*After Strong Mad punches the King of Town and Coach Z towards the wall, the King's crown falls off. However, it is not there when they return to that shot.

===Inside References===
*"Where The Cheat is at?" is a reference to "[[Where My Hat Is At?]]", an old Homestar "book" that was "Homestar's World Wide Web Debut".
*According to the credits, this cartoon was co-written by [[Craig Zobel]].
*Strong Bad leaving prank calls on [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]] is a running gag.

===Real-World References===
*"You shanked my Jengaship" is a reference to the games [[Wikipedia:Jenga|Jenga]] and [[Wikipedia:Battleship (game)|Battleship]].

===Fast Forward===
*The music used in the montage was later used in the email [[little animal]].
*Strong Bad said the title "Where's The Cheat" later in the email [[for kids]].
*[[Coach Z]]'s pose grabbing [[The King of Town]] was used later in the email [[virus]].

AAA!: /* Button Effects */ Listen carefully

__NOTOC__

[[Image:mainhomsar.png|thumb|right|220px|"Legitimate Business!"]]

To find the '''Homsar Main Page''' click on the last digit on the copyright date on any [[Main Pages|main page]] (except the [[Luau Main Page]]). It's also accessible via an Easter Egg at the end of the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[interview]].

It's Homsar, being random as usual. Notice that the navigation buttons are all staggered and askew instead of arranged neatly along the white line.

'''Page title (if accessed using the Main Pages):''' "LEGITIMATE MENU PAGE!"

'''Page title (if accessed from [[interview]]):''' "[[Compy 386]]!"

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Homsar}}, {{Film|Strong Sad}}

'''Place:''' [[The Field]]

'''Icon:''' Homsar

==Button Effects==
*'''[[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons]]''' — Bubbles come out of his mouth when he says, "ToOoOons!"
*'''[[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|Games]]''' — He says, "Jane!" and gets hit with a [[Heavy Lourde]], inspired by the email [[homsar]].
*'''[[Character Videos|Characters]]''' — He says, "[[Wikipedia:Kelsey Grammer|Kelsey Grammer]]," gets a mustache (which he keeps until you roll over another button), and a [[Dinosaurs|dinosaur]] appears with a sign that says "BEAT STATE!" wrapped around its back.
*'''[[Downloads]]''' — He says, "Thank you," as a boat goes by backwards in the background and toots its horn in reverse.
*'''[[Store]]''' — He says, "Legitimate Business!" and Strong Sad comes up and says, "How did ''you'' get up there? I don't think this is a very good idea."
*'''[[Email]]''' — Homsar wails, "AaAaAaAaAaAaA!" and the background waves insanely behind him until the cursor is moved.

== Fun Facts ==

===Trivia===

*The URL for the page ends "memorabilia.html".

===Glitches===
*When you roll over the "Games" link and roll off quickly, Homsar's hat will jump up and then momentarily disappear. The weight will not crash down on him.
*When you roll over the "Store" link and Strong Sad says "How did you get up there? I don't think this is a very good idea." his mouth keeps moving for several frames after he stops talking.
**This only happens with Flash Player 8 or higher. With Flash Player 7, the timing is correct.
*When "email" is higlighted, the scenery shakes insanely. If the button is clicked on and the mouse button is not let go, it will not stop shaking upon removing the cursor from the button. The only way to stop it is to roll over the button again.

===Inside References===
*The Downloads boat is the same one from [[Main Page 3]].

===Real-World References===
*Kelsey Grammer is an actor best known for his role as Frasier Crane on ''[[IMDb:tt0083399|Cheers]]'' and its spinoff ''[[IMDb:tt0106004|Frasier]]''. In the opening credits of ''Cheers'', his name was displayed over an antique photograph of a mustachioed man wearing a bowler hat and drinking a beer.

===Fast Forward===
*The word "James" is used instead of "games" again in [[redesign]] when [[Strong Bad]] uses the green screen to play [[Sundae Drivin']]. When he loses, the screen says "your james over".
*The scream Homsar makes when you roll over email is the same scream Homsar makes in his character video.

'''Running Time:''' 6:00 (Site Approximation)

==Transcript==
''{Spooky sounds play against a darkened wall. Homestar Runner's shadow appears from the left, and Homestar himself then appears suddenly.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wah! You scared me! So, here's the deal: I'm lost inside this haunted mansion, and I need your help to find my costume and get outta here! So, what should we do first?

''{The screen displays: 'WHAT SHOULD WE DO?? 1. PET A GOAT 2. MAKE A STEW 3. "I'M SELLING THESE FINE LEATHER JACKETS..."' A "COSTUME LOCATOR" is in the lower left and a "HEALTH & BEAUTY" indicator, showing 100%, is in the lower right. Then, after a moment, the lights suddenly come on and the camera pans back, revealing the interior of Homestar's house, including pictures of Homestar's past costumes framed on the wall. Marzipan walks up with a wig and a pile of clothes. A sheet of paper can be seen in front of Homestar, with doodles all over it and several markers scattered around it.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' What up, Homestar? Here's your costume!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{taking the costume}'' Oh, thanks. You win!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{noticing the paper and markers}'' Homestar Michael Runner, what did you do—

''{A closeup of the paper is shown. It reads:}''

<div style="text-align:center; padding:8px; border: 1pt solid #000; width:300px">Halloween Potion 1. *****-Water 2. Powdered ********* 3. Essence of ********* Stir ingredients with a *********** Say this magic incantation: *****************************</div>

''{Drawings of bugs and [[Ducks|ducks]] obscure all of the important parts, asterisked. Also, Homestar has written [[:Image:Mean sean.PNG|"MEAN SEAN"]], "QUACK TIME", and "COOL DUCK" on various parts of the paper.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' —to my Halloween Potion recipe?

''{Homestar and Marzipan appear again.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, yeah. ''{turns away from Marzipan}'' Marzipaaan! Can I draw ducks and bugs all over the recipe for your Halloween Potion?

'''MARZIPAN:''' No way, Jorge. You're gonna figure out what those ingredients were and bring 'em back here before midnight. Now march your skinny white butt into those spooky woods, mister!

''{Music starts.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{humbly}'' Yes, Mom-zipan.

''{The screen displays "HALLOWEEN POTION-MA-JIG" and "A MAKE-YOUR-OWN-DECISION-VENTURE", followed by the usual credits (with the notable addition of "[[Jonathan Howe|Jonathan]] programs"), over the drawings of bugs and ducks. Then, cut to the spooky woods, where Homestar is now in costume.}''

===The Water===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right! These spooky woods gotta be chock full of spooky ingredients. Let's see, the first one is ''{pulls out the paper}'' "Something Water." Hmmmmmmmm...

'''COACH Z:''' ''{from a distance}'' Really?

''{cut to Coach Z and Pom Pom}''

'''COACH Z:''' Then how come they'll be all nice to ya and act like they like ya to your face?

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''COACH Z:''' Guess I have a lot to learn about mailmen.

''{Homestar walks up}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, what are you guys doin' out here? Did you ruin somebody's magic potion too?

'''COACH Z:''' Uh... nope. Unless Coach Z's life is a magic potion.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Cool, cool, depressing, cool. So, um...

''{A box shows up reading "CHOICE TIME!!!" and the three choices:}''

==== 1. Do either of you have any... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{imitating a shady drifter}'' Do either of you have any cash on you? I'm trying to get a me a sandwich or somethin'. Uh, my car broke down and I'm out of gas.

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, sorry, man. All I gots is this bottle of, uh, ghost water?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's perfect! I was planning on blowin' that money on ghost water anyways.

''{A "scorecard" comes up with spaces for all the items you get. The first blank is filled with "Ghost Water". A victory sound plays.}''

==== 2. I need something that would be... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I need something that would be good in a Halloween Potion.

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles and pulls a severed toe out of his pocket}''

'''COACH Z:''' Pom Pom can getcha a toe. With nail polish!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um... do you have anything waterier? Or... more waterish? Or waterian?

'''COACH Z:''' Please, Homestar, stop! Just take this bottle of questionable water that I keep on my person at all times for questionable reasons!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I won't question that!

''{A "scorecard" comes up with spaces for all the items you get. The first blank is filled with "Questionable Water". A victory sound plays.}''

==== 3. Taco-Man came by... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Taco-Man came by. He gave me some water, he gave me some water. What are you guys gonna do for me?

'''COACH Z:''' Pom Pom, give the man some stank water. I will not be upstaged by Taco-Man two years in a row!

''{A "scorecard" comes up with spaces for all the items you get. The first blank is filled with "Stank Water". A victory sound plays.}''

=== The Powder ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I gotta keep searchin'. ''{starts to walk offscreen to the right}'' Too bad I probably won't run into anybody else mysteriously hanging out in the woods.

''{Cut to The King of Town and The Poopsmith. The King of Town is holding a bucket of fried chicken. Holes are dug all over the place. Homestar walks up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh! Whaddaya know! How ya diggin'?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oh! We're certainly not trying to unearth the ham sandwich that I buried here when I was nine.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Good. 'Cause I found that thing like two months ago. It wasn't that good. Too much mayo.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Too much mayo?! I ''love'' too much mayo!

''{The choice dialogue comes up again.}''

==== 1. Hey! I've got it... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, I've got it! I'll give you a detailed account of the consumption of your ham sammie if you give me a powdered item for this Potion-ma-jig!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Sweet deal! Take some of this powdered Thanksgiving! Now let's hear it!

''{The screen starts to fade out.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, so first I washed all the dirt off with some Windex. That made it blue and soggy...

''{It fades back in. The King of Town has his head lowered in emotion. His chicken bucket is empty.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...and that last bite nearly made me puke it right back on my plate!

''{Homestar walks off and takes the powder as he goes.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oh, I wish you had. I surely wish you had!

''{The scorecard returns. The second blank is filled with "Powdered Thanksgiving".}''

==== 2. I say, is that a powdered... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I say, is that a powdered wig you're wearing, your Kentucky Fried-ness? 'Cause I'm in the market for some powdery dealings!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{pulls out a pouch}'' Well, I've got my secret blend of eleven herbs and spices. But, of course, you can't have that.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aw, that's too bad. I guess I'll just go on home and— ''{starts popping in and out of the holes, snatching the powder while he hops around}'' Pyong-pyong-pyong-pyong-pyong! ''{appears from one of the holes, holding the powder}'' So long, suckers!

''{Homestar drops back into the hole.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ha! That blend was just a decoy! It only has ''ten'' herbs and spices!

''{The scorecard appears with "Powdered Herbs & Spices".}''

==== 3. Poopsmith, do I dare ask... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Poopsmith, do I dare ask what powdered delights you've unearthed?

''{The Poopsmith digs in the dirt and a pouch pops out, which Homestar catches.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh, ground ground. Thanks thanks, guys guys.

''{The scorecard appears with "Powdered Ground Ground"}''

===Homsar===
''{This scene only happens if you click on the upper half of The Poopsmith as Homestar walks away (an Easter egg). Homsar is floating on a balloon, as per his costume (Tingle from [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda series|The Legend of Zelda Series]].) Homestar walks up, and looks at him, annoyed.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, great, the secret guy.

'''HOMSAR:''' AaAaA—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Just gimme my choices!

''{Homsar throws confetti, and the bottom of the screen reads:}''

<blockquote>
HOISIN SAUCE! 
2TH: HORSE IT ON IN THERE! 
THAT'S A LOT! A LOT! A LOT! A LOT! 
> What wouldst thou deau?</blockquote>

''{With The Hornblower's head and some circus peanuts over it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What I'm supposed to do with ''that'' mess? I'm outta here!

''{The "ding" sound effect plays backwards as the box of text vanishes. Homestar walks away.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' Location, location, location!

=== The Essence ===
''{Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat are standing around a cliff, with broken TVs littering the area. Strong Bad's face is obscured by the cabinet doors on his costume. Strong Mad grunts and tosses a broken TV. Homestar walks up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa. This is a cool new background!

''{The TV Strong Mad tossed falls in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{opening his costume's doors}'' Yeah! We were just burying our problems here in the spooky woods when we found this creepy cliff! It's perfect for the chucking off of busted old TVs.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Essence of busted old TVs? 'Cuz I got a serious jones!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, I think these TVs lost their essence in the seventies. What are you doing here, anyways?

''{The choice box returns:}''

==== 1. I've always felt that... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I've always felt that essence of rose petals is my very most favorite essence.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I agree, The Cheat. Essence of doo doo meringue has always been my favorite. In fact... there's a whole bunch of it down at the bottom of this cliff you can have.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{jumping off the cliff}'' Cannonball!

''{The scorecard appears with "Essence of Doo doo meringue"}''

==== 2. I'm trying to ruin Marzipan's... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm trying to ruin Marzipan's Halloween Potion. Got any leads?

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's a worthy cause if ever there was one! How about this essence of putting Strong Mad's hand in warm water while he's asleep?

'''STRONG MAD:''' MY SECRET SHAME!

''{The Cheat tosses a bottle off the cliff. Homestar jumps after it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks a lot you guuuuuuuuuys!

''{The scorecard returns with "Essence of Putting Strong Mad's hand in warm water while he's asleep".}''

==== 3. I'm in the mood for a... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm in the mood for a Hovan roll!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, me too. Let's have a race to the food court. Here's the starting line. Ready, go!

''{The Cheat draws a line in dirt next to the cliff's edge.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{running over cliff}'' Eat my duuuuuuuust!

''{The scorecard returns with "Essence of Gullibility".}''

===The stirring utensil===
''{Cut back to Strong Bad's posse}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meka-leka-hi-meka-The Cheat throw a TV on 'im...

''{The Cheat drops a TV over the cliff.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...ho.

''{The doors on Strong Bad's costume close once more. Cut to Bubs, standing by a canister labeled "BUBS' MO'BILE CAN o' STIRRING UTENSILS". ("Bile" is in green.) Homestar bounces once on the ground and then lands on his feet next to Bubs. The TV crashes behind Homestar at the same spot where he had bounced off, narrowly missing him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Bubs! Fancy runnin' into you in the middle of the spooky woods sellin' stirring utensils.

'''BUBS:''' It's a niche market.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So, what kind of concoctions might one stir with your wares?

'''BUBS:''' Well, a little eye of newt, some toe of frog. Baby, you got a witches' brew goin'.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, that's my line! So, how do I score one of those jobbies?

'''BUBS:''' Oh, they're free. But you gotta ''earn'' 'em!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, that doesn't sound free at all.

'''BUBS:''' Well you just gotta ''earn'' 'em.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' How should I do that?

''{The choice box returns:}''

==== 1. Do a dance ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dances}'' A little to the left, come on, come on, back to the right, shake it around. ''{he repeats it over Bubs's next line}''

'''BUBS:''' Oh, yeah! Stick and move, stick and move! You're pretty good, shorty. ''{pulls a red spoon from his canister}'' That's worth at least a ''Jurassic Park III'' collector's spoon.

''{The scorecard returns with "Stirring utensil: JP3 Collector Spoon".}''

==== 2. Sing a song ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, here goes. Two and three and four. ''{singing terribly while off-key music plays in the background, and Bubs covers his ears, agitated}'' Backyard peaches! Treats come true! Karate Summer, what wouldja do? The world is the egg, and diapers come true...

'''BUBS:''' Oh! Heard enough of that one! You... you get a chewed-up pen.

''{The scorecard returns with "Stirring utensil: Chewed Up Pen".}''

==== 3. Reagan impression ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{leaning over, in a low voice}'' Well... well... Nancy and I... economics... well... rap music... jellybeans... well... we... probably had a... pet...

'''BUBS:''' That's the worst Ronald Reagan impression I've ever heard!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{standing upright}'' ''Ronald'' Reagan?! I was doing my Keanu Reagan!

'''BUBS:''' Just take this terlet brush and get outta here!

''{The scorecard returns with "Stirring utensil: Terlet Brush".}''

===The magic words===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{walking off}'' Thanks, Great American Bubs!

''{Cut to a closeup of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now to find Strong Sad. Anything that guy says will make ''great'' magic words!

''{Cut to Strong Sad, half-buried and asleep. Homestar walks up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Sad. Nice fire hydrant costume!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh. Mineral water... ''{wakes up and looks at Homestar}'' What?

''{The choice box returns:}''

==== 1. I just graduated... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I just graduated. What should my epitaph say?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Homestar, do you even have half a brain?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hot biscuits! Those are the best magic words I've ever heards!

''{The scorecard appears with "Magic Words: Do you even have half a brain".}''

==== 2. If you were at a party... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If you were at a party, what would you rap?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Each day, we die a little more, yo! Betta ax somebod-ay!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh! Fresh beats! My favorite!

''{The scorecard appears with "Magic Words: Better Ax Somebod-ay".}''

==== 3. Taco-Man came by... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Taco-Man came by. We played a little foosball, played a little foosball. So, what are some of your favorite words?

'''STRONG SAD:''' In no particular order: Loquentia... Imbruglia... Precipitous... Saralee...cheesecake... Denouement...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Those are great!

''{The scorecard appears with "Magic Words: Loquentia, Imbruglia, Precitpitous, Saraleecheesecake, Denouement".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks for the words, half-man! ''{walks off}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Go forward! Move ahead. Try to detect it! It's not too late.

''{Cut to Homestar's house, where Homestar and Marzipan are standing near a bubbling cauldron.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, so here's what I came up with: a bottle of ''{"Ghost," "Questionable," or "Stank"}'' water, ''{he throws the bottle into the cauldron}'' ''{"A secret blend of eleven Herbs and Spices," "Some Ground Ground," or "Some Powdered Thanksgiving"; it's thrown into the cauldron too}'', and essence of ''{"Doo Doo Meringue", "Putting Strong Mad's Hand in Warm Water while He's Asleep", or "Gullibility, whatever that is"; again, he throws it into the cauldron}''. ''{Pulls out the stirring utensil}'' And give a little stir with this ''{"Jurassic Park III Collector's Spoon", "Chewed Up Pen", or "Terlet Brush"}''. And say these magic words. ''{He hands an index card to Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{"Do you even have half a brain", "Better Ax Somebod-ay", or "Loquentia, Imbruglia, Precipitous, Saraleecheesecakia, Denouement"}''

''{The cauldron makes a "poof" sound and smoke emerges, and Marzipan dips a cup into it.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Here, Homestar. ''{hands the cup to Homestar and smiles}'' Have some Melonade!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't mind if I do! ''{He drinks the contents of the cup.}''

''{See the fun facts section to see how the endings scenes are chosen. These are the different effects on Homestar:}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Are you trying to tell me that I haven't been dating twins this whole time?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Um, I don't think you're gonna have to worry about dating anyone from now on.

*The ducks and bugs Homestar drew on the potion are:

*The original potion read:
<div style="text-align:center; padding:8px; border: 1pt solid #000; width:300px">Halloween Potion 1. Ghost-Water 2. Powdered Pigs' Feet 3. Essence of Nightroot Stir ingredients with a wooden spoon Say this magic incantation: 
"Sip it down and swish it 'round"</div>
*This toon was released at about 1:30 a.m. on November 1, Atlanta time. All day the previous day, the [[Main Page Messages|button on the main page]] read, ''"workin' as fast as we can!"''. When the toon was finally released, the button read: ''"it's still halloween!"'' (when you moved your mouse over it, it switched to: ''"in certain timezones!"''). Later in the day, the button was changed to simply read: ''"halloween toon!"''
*The shirt Coach Z is wearing is from ''[[Wikipedia:The Cosby Show|The Cosby Show]]'''s first-season episode "[http://www.tv.com/the-cosby-show/a-shirt-story/episode/6802/summary.html A Shirt Story]," in which Denise tries to hand-make Theo a designer shirt and butchers it in the process. The fictitious brand of shirt was called a "Gordon Gartrelle," and the original cost Theo $95. The "Jammin' on the one" line is a reference to the episode "[http://www.tv.com/a-touch-of-wonder/episode/6836/summary.html|A Touch Of Wonder]," in which guest star [[Wikipedia:Stevie Wonder|Stevie Wonder]] sampled the voices of the Huxtable family and made them into a song.
* There are five endings to this toon. Which ending is seen is determined by adding together all the numbers of the choices made, dividing by five, taking the remainder (numbered zero to four), and adding one. Thus, if you choose 2, 1, 3, 3, and 2, you would get 2 + 1 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 11 / 5 = 2, remainder 1. Add 1 to that, and you get ending 2. (See the talk page for the source code.)
*If the remainder is:
:*0, then you see ending 1: Tofu Homestar. There are 53 combinations that yield this result.
::When the sum of the choices are 5, 10, or 15 this ending is displayed.
:*1, then you see ending 2: Cyclops Homestar. There are 50 combinations that yield this result.
::When the sum of the choices are 6 or 11 this ending is displayed.
:*2, then you see ending 3: French Homestar. There are 45 combinations that yield this result.
::When the sum of the choices are 7 or 12 this ending is displayed.
:*3, then you see ending 4: Freaky Marzipan. There are 45 combinations that yield this result.
::When the sum of the choices are 8 or 13 this ending is displayed.
:*4, then you see ending 5: The Goblin. There are 50 combinations that yield this result.
::When the sum of the choices are 9 or 14 this ending is displayed.
*The total number of possible sequences of potion ingredients is 35, or 243.
*According to the [[Quote of the Week#2005-11-03|Quote of the Week]] on November 3, Bubs originally gave out an ''[[IMDb:tt0114781|Under Siege 2]]'' collector's spoon instead of the ''Jurassic Park III'' collector's spoon.
* The Flash file appears to have been updated 12 hours after the toon was originally released. The update expanded the Tofu Homestar scene, which originally ended immediately after Marzipan's line "You're back to your old self again!", before Tofu Homestar's head fell into the cauldron, but with the animation suggesting it was about to do so. The change was likely made to remove any suggestion that Homestar had "died" by being transformed into an inanimate object. The update also added an extra "THE END" scene and an Easter Egg (The Cheat). It is possible that these elements were originally planned for the original release but left out due to time constraints (see Trivia).

===Remarks===
* The pictures above Homestar's cabinet are changed for the holiday. They ordinarily show his changing appearance over the years. This time, they depict all his past [[Halloween Costumes|Halloween costumes]] from 2000 to the present.
* This is the first time Homestar is mentioned as having a middle name ("Michael") in a toon. (In the DVD commentary for [[time capsule]], however, Marzipan offhandedly remarked that Hal was his middle name.)
* All of the spooky trees in the background are the same shape, just in different sizes and orientations. Also, the first two backgrounds for Pom Pom, Coach Z, the Poopsmith, and the King of Town are identical.
* If Homestar does a dance for Bubs, Bubs will refer to Homestar as "Shorty", even though (unless you count Bubs' hat) Homestar is taller than Bubs is.
* Besides stealing Homestar's [[Witches' Brew]] "line," as Homestar points out, Bubs also appropriates the "terlet" pronunciation of "toilet" that Coach Z has used in [[Halloween Fairstival]] and [[A Folky Tale]]. This spelling shows up on the scorecard as well, but Homestar still pronounces it as "toilet" when he hands it over to Marzipan. (Homestar's speech impediment causes a mispronunciation of the mispronunciation, making it correct again.)
* Homestar's costume includes a pair of shoes. When Marzipan gives him his costume, however, the shoes do not appear to be included.
* Strong Bad comments on Homestar's Reagan impression even if you use one of the other choices.
** Also, when Strong Bad comments on his Reagan impression, Homestar agrees that he was impersonating Ronald Reagan and not Keanu Reagan.
* When not wearing a costume, Bubs has no thumbs. Mysteriously, though, the thumbs on his white boxing gloves seem to move like he does.
* When Strong Bad said "burying our troubles", he was probably referring to half-buried Strong Sad.

===Goofs===
*[[Wikipedia:Gossamer_(Looney_Tunes)|Gossamer]] is actually has a redder tint than the the bright orange color of Strong Mad's costume.
*When Strong Bad's cabinet doors are open, they appear to be symmetrical; they shouldn't be able to fit together when closed.
*When he looks directly into the camera, Strong Bad's left eye seems to jut a little into the V-shape on his mask.
*Homestar's [[Wikipedia:Chuck Taylor All-Stars|Converse All-Star Hi-Tops]] have stars on both sides of each shoe, when they should have stars [http://www.martyshoes.com/store/media/con-s049622-9160men500.jpg only on the inner side].
*When The Cheat pushes the television off of the edge of the cliff, the dent on the top is towards the right. When it lands, however, the dent has switched sides.
*If you choose "I'm in the mood for a..." when getting the Essence, the line disappears when it cuts back to the cliff.

===Glitches===
*You can see a "hiccup" in the animation of the pot's bubbling when the cartoon switches to one of the variables in the combination you made.
*Unlike the other characters, Homsar shows scroll-over information during the finale Easter eggs even while the rest of the characters comment on their costumes. This is because he is a movie clip that overlays the scene.
*When you click on The Cheat at the end, Strong Bad's head changes size and his mouth closes a bit, and everybody moves slightly.
*When clicking on most of the characters that activate Easter Eggs at the end, Marzipan's mouth changes expression unexpectedly.
*When Marzipan's angry expression is used, blinking causes her outline to be intruded.

===Real-World References===

*The phrase "I'm selling these fine leather jackets" is a reference to multiple PC games created by [[Wikipedia:LucasArts|LucasArts]] which featured the line as a running gag. The line originated in ''[[Wikipedia:Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure|Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade]]'' and was repeated in ''[[Wikipedia:Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis|Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis]]'', the ''[[Wikipedia:Monkey Island|Monkey Island]]'' series, ''[[Wikipedia:Sam and Max|Sam and Max]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Full Throttle|Full Throttle]]''.

Homestar's character, Moocher, was a member of the group.
*"Taco-Man" is the signature character of the website [http://www.ebolaworld.com Ebolaworld], which has used Homestar in cameos on more than one occasion. Perhaps the Brothers Chaps have decided to repay the favor. (As a side note, the Halloween special that Ebolaworld had planned for the same year was also a choose-your-own adventure cartoon.)

*Rose petal essence was an ingredient for the spell to turn into an eagle or fly in ''[[Wikipedia:King's Quest III|King's Quest III]]''. Especially given this allusion, the whole premise of the cartoon is likely based on the formulaic combination of ingredients, stirring, and magic words required to perform the [http://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/the_fairway/game_pages/kings_quest_3.html spells] in King's Quest III.

*Bubs' quote "Baby, you've got a [[Witches' Brew|witches' brew]] goin'" is a reference to the television show ''[[Wikipedia:Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'', where [[Wikipedia:Carl Weathers|Carl Weathers]], the actor who played [[Wikipedia:Apollo Creed|Apollo Creed]], portrays himself as extremely cheap, and sometimes comments that if certain leftover foods are combined, "Baby, you've got a stew goin'."

[[Wikipedia:Jelly beans|Jelly beans]] were famously one of Reagan's favorite foods. Reagan was also known for usually starting his statements with the word "well." He was famous for his economic policies, called "[[Wikipedia:Reaganomics|Reaganomics]]." He also did have [[Wikipedia:List_of_presidential_pets|pets]], among them a [[Wikipedia:Cavalier_king_charles_spaniel|Cavalier King Charles Spaniel]] named [[Wikipedia:Rex (dog)|Rex]].

*Homestar Runner's repeating himself, such as "We played a little foosball, played a little foosball," is very similar to the way the character Jimmy Two Times speaks in the [[Wikipedia:Martin Scorsese|Martin Scorsese]] film [[Wikipedia:Goodfellas|Goodfellas]] (e.g., "I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers.").
*[[Wikipedia:Natalie Imbruglia|Natalie Imbruglia]] is an Australian-born singer and actress. However, Strong Sad and Marzipan both mispronounce her last name (the "g" is silent).

*Walter Sobchak is a character from ''[[The Big Lebowski]]'', played by [[Wikipedia:John Goodman|John Goodman]]. The severed toe with nail polish is a plot device in this movie; Sobchak even says the line, "I can get you a toe, with nail polish," as does Coach Z on Pom Pom's behalf. "You're entering a world of pain" and "DONNY, YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT!" (said on behalf of Pom Pom by Homestar and Strong Mad respectively) were also repeated sayings of Sobchak's in the movie. Also, at one point in the movie Walter inappropriately draws a gun.
*[[wikipedia:Oliver Cromwell|Oliver Cromwell]] was a 17th century English military commander who became Lord Protector after leading the rebellion that resulted in the execution of Charles I. Homestar throws it in because it includes "-well", though it's possible he ''meant'' to say [[Wikipedia:Oliver North|Oliver North]], a prominent figure in the [[Wikipedia:Iran Contra Affair|Iran Contra Affair]].
*The surprisingly high jump The Cheat makes is the effect of getting hit by a shell, invincible character, etc., in the Nintendo 64 game ''[[Wikipedia:Mario Kart 64|Mario Kart 64]]'', in which the kart landed with a similar "POOMP". Also, the respective noises The Cheat makes sound very close to what Toad says when he wins a race ("I'm the best!") as well as Toad's cries when he has been hit.
*[[Wikipedia:The Golden Girls|The Golden Girls]] was a popular sitcom about four elderly women living in Miami that originally aired on NBC. Blanche, mentioned in the cartoon, is one of the main characters of the show. Strong Bad mentioned them in [[helium]].
*The kick performed by Homestar while singing appears to be a side thrust kick, a karate kick which invloves thrusting the foot out from the side to hit with the blade of the heel.

'''Page Title:''' Choose it or Lose it!

'''Date:''' November 1, 2005

'''Running Time:''' 6:00 (Site Approximation)

==Transcript==
''{Spooky sounds play against a darkened wall. Homestar Runner's shadow appears from the left, and Homestar himself then appears suddenly.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wah! You scared me! So, here's the deal: I'm lost inside this haunted mansion, and I need your help to find my costume and get outta here! So, what should we do first?

''{The screen displays: 'WHAT SHOULD WE DO?? 1. PET A GOAT 2. MAKE A STEW 3. "I'M SELLING THESE FINE LEATHER JACKETS..."' A "COSTUME LOCATOR" is in the lower left and a "HEALTH & BEAUTY" indicator, showing 100%, is in the lower right. Then, after a moment, the lights suddenly come on and the camera pans back, revealing the interior of Homestar's house, including pictures of Homestar's past costumes framed on the wall. Marzipan walks up with a wig and a pile of clothes. A sheet of paper can be seen in front of Homestar, with doodles all over it and several markers scattered around it.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' What up, Homestar? Here's your costume!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{taking the costume}'' Oh, thanks. You win!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{noticing the paper and markers}'' Homestar Michael Runner, what did you do—

''{A closeup of the paper is shown. It reads:}''

<div style="text-align:center; padding:8px; border: 1pt solid #000; width:300px">Halloween Potion 1. *****-Water 2. Powdered ********* 3. Essence of ********* Stir ingredients with a *********** Say this magic incantation: *****************************</div>

''{Drawings of bugs and [[Ducks|ducks]] obscure all of the important parts, asterisked. Also, Homestar has written [[:Image:Mean sean.PNG|"MEAN SEAN"]], "QUACK TIME", and "COOL DUCK" on various parts of the paper.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' —to my Halloween Potion recipe?

''{Homestar and Marzipan appear again.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, yeah. ''{turns away from Marzipan}'' Marzipaaan! Can I draw ducks and bugs all over the recipe for your Halloween Potion?

'''MARZIPAN:''' No way, Jorge. You're gonna figure out what those ingredients were and bring 'em back here before midnight. Now march your skinny white butt into those spooky woods, mister!

''{Music starts.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{humbly}'' Yes, Mom-zipan.

''{The screen displays "HALLOWEEN POTION-MA-JIG" and "A MAKE-YOUR-OWN-DECISION-VENTURE", followed by the usual credits (with the notable addition of "[[Jonathan Howe|Jonathan]] programs"), over the drawings of bugs and ducks. Then, cut to the spooky woods, where Homestar is now in costume.}''

===The Water===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right! These spooky woods gotta be chock full of spooky ingredients. Let's see, the first one is ''{pulls out the paper}'' "Something Water." Hmmmmmmmm...

'''COACH Z:''' ''{from a distance}'' Really?

''{cut to Coach Z and Pom Pom}''

'''COACH Z:''' Then how come they'll be all nice to ya and act like they like ya to your face?

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''COACH Z:''' Guess I have a lot to learn about mailmen.

''{Homestar walks up}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, what are you guys doin' out here? Did you ruin somebody's magic potion too?

'''COACH Z:''' Uh... nope. Unless Coach Z's life is a magic potion.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Cool, cool, depressing, cool. So, um...

''{A box shows up reading "CHOICE TIME!!!" and the three choices:}''

==== 1. Do either of you have any... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{imitating a shady drifter}'' Do either of you have any cash on you? I'm trying to get a me a sandwich or somethin'. Uh, my car broke down and I'm out of gas.

'''COACH Z:''' Oh, sorry, man. All I gots is this bottle of, uh, ghost water?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's perfect! I was planning on blowin' that money on ghost water anyways.

''{A "scorecard" comes up with spaces for all the items you get. The first blank is filled with "Ghost Water". A victory sound plays.}''

==== 2. I need something that would be... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I need something that would be good in a Halloween Potion.

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles and pulls a severed toe out of his pocket}''

'''COACH Z:''' Pom Pom can getcha a toe. With nail polish!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um... do you have anything waterier? Or... more waterish? Or waterian?

'''COACH Z:''' Please, Homestar, stop! Just take this bottle of questionable water that I keep on my person at all times for questionable reasons!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I won't question that!

''{A "scorecard" comes up with spaces for all the items you get. The first blank is filled with "Questionable Water". A victory sound plays.}''

==== 3. Taco-Man came by... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Taco-Man came by. He gave me some water, he gave me some water. What are you guys gonna do for me?

'''COACH Z:''' Pom Pom, give the man some stank water. I will not be upstaged by Taco-Man two years in a row!

''{A "scorecard" comes up with spaces for all the items you get. The first blank is filled with "Stank Water". A victory sound plays.}''

=== The Powder ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I gotta keep searchin'. ''{starts to walk offscreen to the right}'' Too bad I probably won't run into anybody else mysteriously hanging out in the woods.

''{Cut to The King of Town and The Poopsmith. The King of Town is holding a bucket of fried chicken. Holes are dug all over the place. Homestar walks up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh! Whaddaya know! How ya diggin'?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oh! We're certainly not trying to unearth the ham sandwich that I buried here when I was nine.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Good. 'Cause I found that thing like two months ago. It wasn't that good. Too much mayo.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Too much mayo?! I ''love'' too much mayo!

''{The choice dialogue comes up again.}''

==== 1. Hey! I've got it... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, I've got it! I'll give you a detailed account of the consumption of your ham sammie if you give me a powdered item for this Potion-ma-jig!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Sweet deal! Take some of this powdered Thanksgiving! Now let's hear it!

''{The screen starts to fade out.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, so first I washed all the dirt off with some Windex. That made it blue and soggy...

''{It fades back in. The King of Town has his head lowered in emotion. His chicken bucket is empty.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...and that last bite nearly made me puke it right back on my plate!

''{Homestar walks off and takes the powder as he goes.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oh, I wish you had. I surely wish you had!

''{The scorecard returns. The second blank is filled with "Powdered Thanksgiving".}''

==== 2. I say, is that a powdered... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I say, is that a powdered wig you're wearing, your Kentucky Fried-ness? 'Cause I'm in the market for some powdery dealings!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{pulls out a pouch}'' Well, I've got my secret blend of eleven herbs and spices. But, of course, you can't have that.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aw, that's too bad. I guess I'll just go on home and— ''{starts popping in and out of the holes, snatching the powder while he hops around}'' Pyong-pyong-pyong-pyong-pyong! ''{appears from one of the holes, holding the powder}'' So long, suckers!

''{Homestar drops back into the hole.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ha! That blend was just a decoy! It only has ''ten'' herbs and spices!

''{The scorecard appears with "Powdered Herbs & Spices".}''

==== 3. Poopsmith, do I dare ask... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Poopsmith, do I dare ask what powdered delights you've unearthed?

''{The Poopsmith digs in the dirt and a pouch pops out, which Homestar catches.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh, ground ground. Thanks thanks, guys guys.

''{The scorecard appears with "Powdered Ground Ground"}''

===Homsar===
''{This scene only happens if you click on the upper half of The Poopsmith as Homestar walks away (an Easter egg). Homsar is floating on a balloon, as per his costume (Tingle from [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda series|The Legend of Zelda Series]].) Homestar walks up, and looks at him, annoyed.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, great, the secret guy.

'''HOMSAR:''' AaAaA—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Just gimme my choices!

''{Homsar throws confetti, and the bottom of the screen reads:}''

<blockquote>
HOISIN SAUCE! 
2TH: HORSE IT ON IN THERE! 
THAT'S A LOT! A LOT! A LOT! A LOT! 
> What wouldst thou deau?</blockquote>

''{With The Hornblower's head and some circus peanuts over it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What I'm supposed to do with ''that'' mess? I'm outta here!

''{The "ding" sound effect plays backwards as the box of text vanishes. Homestar walks away.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' Location, location, location!

=== The Essence ===
''{Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat are standing around a cliff, with broken TVs littering the area. Strong Bad's face is obscured by the cabinet doors on his costume. Strong Mad grunts and tosses a broken TV. Homestar walks up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa. This is a cool new background!

''{The TV Strong Mad tossed falls in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{opening his costume's doors}'' Yeah! We were just burying our problems here in the spooky woods when we found this creepy cliff! It's perfect for the chucking off of busted old TVs.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Essence of busted old TVs? 'Cuz I got a serious jones!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, I think these TVs lost their essence in the seventies. What are you doing here, anyways?

''{The choice box returns:}''

==== 1. I've always felt that... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I've always felt that essence of rose petals is my very most favorite essence.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, I agree, The Cheat. Essence of doo doo meringue has always been my favorite. In fact... there's a whole bunch of it down at the bottom of this cliff you can have.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{jumping off the cliff}'' Cannonball!

''{The scorecard appears with "Essence of Doo doo meringue"}''

==== 2. I'm trying to ruin Marzipan's... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm trying to ruin Marzipan's Halloween Potion. Got any leads?

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's a worthy cause if ever there was one! How about this essence of putting Strong Mad's hand in warm water while he's asleep?

'''STRONG MAD:''' MY SECRET SHAME!

''{The Cheat tosses a bottle off the cliff. Homestar jumps after it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks a lot you guuuuuuuuuys!

''{The scorecard returns with "Essence of Putting Strong Mad's hand in warm water while he's asleep".}''

==== 3. I'm in the mood for a... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm in the mood for a Hovan roll!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, me too. Let's have a race to the food court. Here's the starting line. Ready, go!

''{The Cheat draws a line in dirt next to the cliff's edge.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{running over cliff}'' Eat my duuuuuuuust!

''{The scorecard returns with "Essence of Gullibility".}''

===The stirring utensil===
''{Cut back to Strong Bad's posse}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meka-leka-hi-meka-The Cheat throw a TV on 'im...

''{The Cheat drops a TV over the cliff.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...ho.

''{The doors on Strong Bad's costume close once more. Cut to Bubs, standing by a canister labeled "BUBS' MO'BILE CAN o' STIRRING UTENSILS". ("Bile" is in green.) Homestar bounces once on the ground and then lands on his feet next to Bubs. The TV crashes behind Homestar at the same spot where he had bounced off, narrowly missing him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Bubs! Fancy runnin' into you in the middle of the spooky woods sellin' stirring utensils.

'''BUBS:''' It's a niche market.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So, what kind of concoctions might one stir with your wares?

'''BUBS:''' Well, a little eye of newt, some toe of frog. Baby, you got a witches' brew goin'.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, that's my line! So, how do I score one of those jobbies?

'''BUBS:''' Oh, they're free. But you gotta ''earn'' 'em!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, that doesn't sound free at all.

'''BUBS:''' Well you just gotta ''earn'' 'em.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' How should I do that?

''{The choice box returns:}''

==== 1. Do a dance ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dances}'' A little to the left, come on, come on, back to the right, shake it around. ''{he repeats it over Bubs's next line}''

'''BUBS:''' Oh, yeah! Stick and move, stick and move! You're pretty good, shorty. ''{pulls a red spoon from his canister}'' That's worth at least a ''Jurassic Park III'' collector's spoon.

''{The scorecard returns with "Stirring utensil: JP3 Collector Spoon".}''

==== 2. Sing a song ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, here goes. Two and three and four. ''{singing terribly while off-key music plays in the background, and Bubs covers his ears, agitated}'' Backyard peaches! Treats come true! Karate Summer, what wouldja do? The world is the egg, and diapers come true...

'''BUBS:''' Oh! Heard enough of that one! You... you get a chewed-up pen.

''{The scorecard returns with "Stirring utensil: Chewed Up Pen".}''

==== 3. Reagan impression ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{leaning over, in a low voice}'' Well... well... Nancy and I... economics... well... rap music... jellybeans... well... we... probably had a... pet...

'''BUBS:''' That's the worst Ronald Reagan impression I've ever heard!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{standing upright}'' ''Ronald'' Reagan?! I was doing my Keanu Reagan!

'''BUBS:''' Just take this terlet brush and get outta here!

''{The scorecard returns with "Stirring utensil: Terlet Brush".}''

===The magic words===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{walking off}'' Thanks, Great American Bubs!

''{Cut to a closeup of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now to find Strong Sad. Anything that guy says will make ''great'' magic words!

''{Cut to Strong Sad, half-buried and asleep. Homestar walks up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Sad. Nice fire hydrant costume!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh. Mineral water... ''{wakes up and looks at Homestar}'' What?

''{The choice box returns:}''

==== 1. I just graduated... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I just graduated. What should my epitaph say?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Homestar, do you even have half a brain?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hot biscuits! Those are the best magic words I've ever heards!

''{The scorecard appears with "Magic Words: Do you even have half a brain".}''

==== 2. If you were at a party... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' If you were at a party, what would you rap?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Each day, we die a little more, yo! Betta ax somebod-ay!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh! Fresh beats! My favorite!

''{The scorecard appears with "Magic Words: Better Ax Somebod-ay".}''

==== 3. Taco-Man came by... ====
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Taco-Man came by. We played a little foosball, played a little foosball. So, what are some of your favorite words?

'''STRONG SAD:''' In no particular order: Loquentia... Imbruglia... Precipitous... Saralee...cheesecake... Denouement...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Those are great!

''{The scorecard appears with "Magic Words: Loquentia, Imbruglia, Precitpitous, Saraleecheesecake, Denouement".}''

=== The potion ===
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks for the words, half-man! ''{walks off}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Go forward! Move ahead. Try to detect it! It's not too late.

''{Cut to Homestar's house, where Homestar and Marzipan are standing near a bubbling cauldron.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, so here's what I came up with: a bottle of ''{"Ghost," "Questionable," or "Stank"}'' water, ''{he throws the bottle into the cauldron}'' ''{"A secret blend of eleven Herbs and Spices," "Some Ground Ground," or "Some Powdered Thanksgiving"; it's thrown into the cauldron too}'', and essence of ''{"Doo Doo Meringue", "Putting Strong Mad's Hand in Warm Water while He's Asleep", or "Gullibility, whatever that is"; again, he throws it into the cauldron}''. ''{Pulls out the stirring utensil}'' And give a little stir with this ''{"Jurassic Park III Collector's Spoon", "Chewed Up Pen", or "Terlet Brush"}''. And say these magic words. ''{He hands an index card to Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{"Do you even have half a brain", "Better Ax Somebod-ay", or "Loquentia, Imbruglia, Precipitous, Saraleecheesecakia, Denouement"}''

''{The cauldron makes a "poof" sound and smoke emerges, and Marzipan dips a cup into it.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Here, Homestar. ''{hands the cup to Homestar and smiles}'' Have some Melonade!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't mind if I do! ''{He drinks the contents of the cup.}''

''{See the fun facts section to see how the endings scenes are chosen. These are the different effects on Homestar:}''

====End 1: Tofu Homestar====
''{After drinking the potion, Homestar turns into the Tofu version of himself as seen in [[The Luau]].}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yay, Homestar! You're back to your old self again!

''{The tofu head slides off into the cauldron and a flame covers Tofu Homestar, who reverts back to his regular self without his Halloween costume}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{disappointed}'' Yay, Homestar. You're back to your old self again...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing and shaking his butt}'' That costume makes your butt look big.

====End 2: Cycloptic Homestar====
''{Homestar suddenly loses his wig and sprouts one enormous eye on his face.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{yelps}'' Marzipan! There's only one of you!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Don't tell me you forgot how to use your eyes again.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Are you trying to tell me that I haven't been dating twins this whole time?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Um, I don't think you're gonna have to worry about dating anyone from now on.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hooray!

====End 3: French Homestar====
''{Homestar takes on the appearance of a suave foreigner.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ooh, goody goody gumdrops!

'''MARZIPAN:''' I'll go pack my pashmina. ''{walks offscreen}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing, in his regular voice}'' Oh, gettin' lucky toniiiiiiight...

====End 4: Freaky Marzipan====
''{After drinking the potion, Homestar turns into a normally-dressed Marzipan.}''

''{Marzipan shrieks and runs off; Freaky Marzipan makes a silly face.}''

====End 5: The Goblin====

* There are five endings to this toon. Which ending is seen is determined by adding together all the numbers of the choices made, dividing by five, taking the remainder (numbered zero to four), and adding one. Thus, if you choose 2, 1, 3, 3, and 2, you would get 2 + 1 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 11 / 5 = 2, remainder 1. Add 1 to that, and you get ending 2. (See the talk page for the source code.)
*If the remainder is:
:*0, then you see ending 1: Tofu Homestar. There are 53 combinations that yield this result.
::When the sum of the choices are 5, 10, or 15 this ending is displayed.
:*1, then you see ending 2: Cyclops Homestar. There are 50 combinations that yield this result.
::When the sum of the choices are 6 or 11 this ending is displayed.
:*2, then you see ending 3: French Homestar. There are 45 combinations that yield this result.
::When the sum of the choices are 7 or 12 this ending is displayed.
:*3, then you see ending 4: Freaky Marzipan. There are 45 combinations that yield this result.
::When the sum of the choices are 8 or 13 this ending is displayed.
:*4, then you see ending 5: The Goblin. There are 50 combinations that yield this result.
::When the sum of the choices are 9 or 14 this ending is displayed.
*The total number of possible sequences of potion ingredients is 35, or 243.
*According to the [[Quote of the Week#2005-11-03|Quote of the Week]] on November 3, Bubs originally gave out an ''[[IMDb:tt0114781|Under Siege 2]]'' collector's spoon instead of the ''Jurassic Park III'' collector's spoon.
* The Flash file appears to have been updated 12 hours after the toon was originally released. The update expanded the Tofu Homestar scene, which originally ended immediately after Marzipan's line "You're back to your old self again!", before Tofu Homestar's head fell into the cauldron, but with the animation suggesting it was about to do so. The change was likely made to remove any suggestion that Homestar had "died" by being transformed into an inanimate object. The update also added an extra "THE END" scene and an Easter Egg (The Cheat). It is possible that these elements were originally planned for the original release but left out due to time constraints (see Trivia).

===Remarks===
* The pictures above Homestar's cabinet are changed for the holiday. They ordinarily show his changing appearance over the years. This time, they depict all his past [[Halloween Costumes|Halloween costumes]] from 2000 to the present.
* This is the first time Homestar is mentioned as having a middle name ("Michael") in a toon. (In the DVD commentary for [[time capsule]], however, Marzipan offhandedly remarked that Hal was his middle name.)
* All of the spooky trees in the background are the same shape, just in different sizes and orientations. Also, the first two backgrounds for Pom Pom, Coach Z, the Poopsmith, and the King of Town are identical.
* If Homestar does a dance for Bubs, Bubs will refer to Homestar as "Shorty", even though (unless you count Bubs' hat) Homestar is taller than Bubs is.
* Besides stealing Homestar's [[Witches' Brew]] "line," as Homestar points out, Bubs also appropriates the "terlet" pronunciation of "toilet" that Coach Z has used in [[Halloween Fairstival]] and [[A Folky Tale]]. This spelling shows up on the scorecard as well, but Homestar still pronounces it as "toilet" when he hands it over to Marzipan. (Homestar's speech impediment causes a mispronunciation of the mispronunciation, making it correct again.)
* Homestar's costume includes a pair of shoes. When Marzipan gives him his costume, however, the shoes do not appear to be included.
* Strong Bad comments on Homestar's Reagan impression even if you use one of the other choices.
** Also, when Strong Bad comments on his Reagan impression, Homestar agrees that he was impersonating Ronald Reagan and not Keanu Reagan.
* When not wearing a costume, Bubs has no thumbs. Mysteriously, though, the thumbs on his white boxing gloves seem to move like he does.
* When Strong Bad said "burying our troubles", he was probably referring to half-buried Strong Sad.

===Goofs===
*[[Wikipedia:Gossamer_(Looney_Tunes)|Gossamer]] is actually has a redder tint than the the bright orange color of Strong Mad's costume.
*When Strong Bad's cabinet doors are open, they appear to be symmetrical; they shouldn't be able to fit together when closed.
*When he looks directly into the camera, Strong Bad's left eye seems to jut a little into the V-shape on his mask.
*Homestar's [[Wikipedia:Chuck Taylor All-Stars|Converse All-Star Hi-Tops]] have stars on both sides of each shoe, when they should have stars [http://www.martyshoes.com/store/media/con-s049622-9160men500.jpg only on the inner side].
*When The Cheat pushes the television off of the edge of the cliff, the dent on the top is towards the right. When it lands, however, the dent has switched sides.
*If you choose "I'm in the mood for a..." when getting the Essence, the line disappears when it cuts back to the cliff.

===Glitches===
*You can see a "hiccup" in the animation of the pot's bubbling when the cartoon switches to one of the variables in the combination you made.
*Unlike the other characters, Homsar shows scroll-over information during the finale Easter eggs even while the rest of the characters comment on their costumes. This is because he is a movie clip that overlays the scene.
*When you click on The Cheat at the end, Strong Bad's head changes size and his mouth closes a bit, and everybody moves slightly.
*When clicking on most of the characters that activate Easter Eggs at the end, Marzipan's mouth changes expression unexpectedly.
*When Marzipan's angry expression is used, blinking causes her outline to be intruded.

===Real-World References===

*The phrase "I'm selling these fine leather jackets" is a reference to multiple PC games created by [[Wikipedia:LucasArts|LucasArts]] which featured the line as a running gag. The line originated in ''[[Wikipedia:Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure|Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade]]'' and was repeated in ''[[Wikipedia:Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis|Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis]]'', the ''[[Wikipedia:Monkey Island|Monkey Island]]'' series, ''[[Wikipedia:Sam and Max|Sam and Max]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Full Throttle|Full Throttle]]''.
*Marzipan's line, "No way, Jorge." is a permutation of the more common, "No way, Jose."

Homestar's character, Moocher, was a member of the group.
*"Taco-Man" is the signature character of the website [http://www.ebolaworld.com Ebolaworld], which has used Homestar in cameos on more than one occasion. Perhaps the Brothers Chaps have decided to repay the favor. (As a side note, the Halloween special that Ebolaworld had planned for the same year was also a choose-your-own adventure cartoon.)
*The secret blend of eleven herbs and spices is a reference to [[wikipedia:KFC|KFC's]] claim that [[Wikipedia:Colonel Sanders|Colonel Sanders']] recipe had eleven secret herbs and spices, although it curiously does not claim that this is the recipe in current use.
*[[Wikipedia:Windex|Windex]] is a trademark for a liquid glass and surface cleaning product made by [[Wikipedia:S. C. Johnson & Son|S. C. Johnson & Son]].
*Homsar throwing the confetti is a reference to his costume ([[Wikipedia:Tingle|Tingle]]), who also throws confetti when he says the magic words ("Tingle, Tingle, Kooloo-limpah!").
*[[Wikipedia:Hoisin Sauce|Hoisin sauce]], a fermented soy bean paste, is used as a condiment and also as a glaze for roasted meats, most commonly with [[Wikipedia:Peking Duck|Peking Duck]]. It is often referred to as "Chinese barbecue sauce."

A LOT!" is a reference to the bank teller in ''[[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask|The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask]]'' for the [[Nintendo#Nintendo 64|Nintendo 64]], who said it if you deposited more than fifty rupees all at once. This was the first game that Tingle appeared in, so it's quite appropriate.
*Homsar's line ("location, location, location") refers to the three most important things in [[Wikipedia:real estate|real estate]]. His costume character, Tingle, serves to help Link navigate by selling him maps in ''The Legend of Zelda'' series.
*Rose petal essence was an ingredient for the spell to turn into an eagle or fly in ''[[Wikipedia:King's Quest III|King's Quest III]]''. Especially given this allusion, the whole premise of the cartoon is likely based on the formulaic combination of ingredients, stirring, and magic words required to perform the [http://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/the_fairway/game_pages/kings_quest_3.html spells] in King's Quest III.
*[http://www.hovan.com Hovan] is a restaurant chain in Florida and Georgia, located in mall food courts, that sell [[Wikipedia:Gyro|gyro-style]] wraps.
*Strong Bad mixes up the quote of his costume character, Jambi the Genie (from ''[[Wikipedia:Pee-wee's Playhouse|Pee-Wee's Playhouse]]''). The original quote is "Meka Leka Hi, Meka Hiney Ho!"
*Strong Bad's quote "We were burying out problems here in the spooky woods" could be a reference to the movie Casino, in which the character Sam Rothstein mentions that mobsters get rid of their problems by burying them in the desert.

*Bubs' quote "Baby, you've got a [[Witches' Brew|witches' brew]] goin'" is a reference to the television show ''[[Wikipedia:Arrested Development (TV series)|Arrested Development]]'', where [[Wikipedia:Carl Weathers|Carl Weathers]], the actor who played [[Wikipedia:Apollo Creed|Apollo Creed]], portrays himself as extremely cheap, and sometimes comments that if certain leftover foods are combined, "Baby, you've got a stew goin'."
* Bubs' comment about "Stick and move! Stick and move!" is a reference to the advice Duke gave Apollo Creed in [[IMDb:0075148|the original Rocky movie]]. [http://www.filmsite.org/rock5.html]
*''[[wikipedia:Jurassic Park III|Jurassic Park III]]'' is a movie in the ''[[wikipedia:Jurassic Park|Jurassic Park]]'' series.
*[[wikipedia:Ronald Reagan|Ronald Reagan]] was a movie actor and the 40th president of the United States. "Nancy" refers to his widow, [[wikipedia:Nancy Reagan|Nancy Reagan]]. [[Wikipedia:Jelly beans|Jelly beans]] were famously one of Reagan's favorite foods. Reagan was also known for usually starting his statements with the word "well." He was famous for his economic policies, called "[[Wikipedia:Reaganomics|Reaganomics]]." He also did have [[Wikipedia:List_of_presidential_pets|pets]], among them a [[Wikipedia:Cavalier_king_charles_spaniel|Cavalier King Charles Spaniel]] named [[Wikipedia:Rex (dog)|Rex]].
**The pet line is more than likely a reference to Reagan's famous "Checkers" speech.
*"Keanu Reagan" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Keanu Reeves|Keanu Reeves]], an actor most famous for his roles in ''Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure'', and the ''Matrix'' trilogy.
*Homestar's line "I just graduated. What should my epitaph say?" is a reference to the theme of many high school graduation speakers of "What will your epitaph say?"
*Homestar Runner's repeating himself, such as "We played a little foosball, played a little foosball," is very similar to the way the character Jimmy Two Times speaks in the [[Wikipedia:Martin Scorsese|Martin Scorsese]] film [[Wikipedia:Goodfellas|Goodfellas]] (e.g., "I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers.").
*[[Wikipedia:Natalie Imbruglia|Natalie Imbruglia]] is an Australian-born singer and actress. However, Strong Sad and Marzipan both mispronounce her last name (the "g" is silent).
*"[[Wikipedia:Sara Lee|Sara Lee]]" is an American consumer-goods company and is also the brand name of a number of frozen and packaged foods, including cheesecake.
*Strong Sad's words as Homestar departs are taken from [[Wikipedia:Devo|Devo]]'s 1980 hit "Whip It."
*[[Wikipedia:Lando Calrissian|Lando Calrissian]] is a character from the ''[[Wikipedia:Star Wars|Star Wars]]'' films, played by [[Wikipedia:Billy Dee Williams|Billy Dee Williams]]. Some people (including, apparently, Homestar) mistakenly think that Lando and Apollo Creed were played by the same actor, but Apollo Creed was played by Carl Weathers.
*Walter Sobchak is a character from ''[[The Big Lebowski]]'', played by [[Wikipedia:John Goodman|John Goodman]]. The severed toe with nail polish is a plot device in this movie; Sobchak even says the line, "I can get you a toe, with nail polish," as does Coach Z on Pom Pom's behalf. "You're entering a world of pain" and "DONNY, YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT!" (said on behalf of Pom Pom by Homestar and Strong Mad respectively) were also repeated sayings of Sobchak's in the movie. Also, at one point in the movie Walter inappropriately draws a gun.
*[[wikipedia:Oliver Cromwell|Oliver Cromwell]] was a 17th century English military commander who became Lord Protector after leading the rebellion that resulted in the execution of Charles I. Homestar throws it in because it includes "-well", though it's possible he ''meant'' to say [[Wikipedia:Oliver North|Oliver North]], a prominent figure in the [[Wikipedia:Iran Contra Affair|Iran Contra Affair]].
*The surprisingly high jump The Cheat makes is the effect of getting hit by a shell, invincible character, etc., in the Nintendo 64 game ''[[Wikipedia:Mario Kart 64|Mario Kart 64]]'', in which the kart landed with a similar "POOMP". Also, the respective noises The Cheat makes sound very close to what Toad says when he wins a race ("I'm the best!") as well as Toad's cries when he has been hit.
*[[Wikipedia:The Golden Girls|The Golden Girls]] was a popular sitcom about four elderly women living in Miami that originally aired on NBC. Blanche, mentioned in the cartoon, is one of the main characters of the show. Strong Bad mentioned them in [[helium]].
*The kick performed by Homestar while singing appears to be a side thrust kick, a karate kick which invloves thrusting the foot out from the side to hit with the blade of the heel.
*Marzipan's costume at the end bears a srtiking resemblence to [[Wikipedia:Beaker (muppet)|Beaker]] from [[Wikipedia:The Muppet Show|The Muppet Show]].

== DVD Version ==
*The "CHOICE TIME!" sound effect plays after you choose your choice.
*The Homsar Easter egg is enabled automatically.
*Homestar doesn't say or show the stuff he gathered, or drop them in the cauldron, and Marzipan doesn't say the magic words.
*Homestar's transformation is now random.
*All of the ending Easter eggs play automatically.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I got the email, you got the email, I got the email, you got the email.

''{Pronounces "Ert plus: Why seven-six P? Ohlyuu eightguh—" then stops}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is this? Did the quadratic formula explode? I see a "Strong ba" in there, but it's getting eaten... by some... Linux or something. Wait a minute! Is this one of those ''virus'' emails?! Like the kind that moms and offshore casinos send you?!? I'll take care of this!

''{Strong Bad types "deleted!", but the screen flashes:}''

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

''{A red line of text appears reading "That didn't work."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! I said deleted!!

''{Strong Bad types it again, this time in capital italicized letters, but the screen flashes:}''

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

''{A red line of text appears reading "That neither."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, wise guy, eh? Maybe I should introduce you to my main man, Edgar!

''{Strong Bad types in [[Edgar#Edgarware|Edgarware]].exe, bringing up the following text on-screen, along with a quick tune.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{alarmed}'' Waaugh! That is not a small number!! That is a ''big'' number!!! What'm I gonna do?!

''{The following text now appears on the screen, accompanied by the Compy's startup beep:}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background:#3a50b6;text-align:center">FLAGRANT SYSTEM ERROR 
 
Computer over. 
Virus = Very Yes.</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Computer over? Virus equals very yes?! That's not a good prize!

''{The text on the Compy 386 screen melts off and slides onto the floor.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh!

''{Strong Bad jumps out of the way. The camera zooms out to a view of the computer desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And the Compy... just peed my carpet.

''{The corner of the computer desk briefly flashes, showing an underlying gridwork to it, The No Loafing sign becomes the following pseudo-HTML code and falls off the wall.}''

<code>
<head> 
<href>No loafing!!</href> 
</body>
</code>

''{The Floppy Disk Container gets eaten by the computer desk. Strong Sad walks in, but his head is floating a foot to the left of where it should be and has been replaced by his emoticons from [[Strong Sad's Lament]].}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{sounding annoyed}'' Strong Bad, what is going on?

'''STRONG BAD:''' WAH! I dunno! You forgot to wear your neck?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Have you been using the Internet irresponsibly?

''{The top of a Main Page starts to creep into the top of the email, with the text "Stave it off, 1, 2, 3..." in the corner in place of the "What's new" text.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No more irresponsibly than usual.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{His lower body starts walking away in place.}'' Did you get a virus?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{with guilt}'' Uhhh, noo...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did you get ''four hundred thousand'' viruses?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{submissive}'' Yes... ''very'' yes!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, hurry up and ''do'' something about it before it gets worse!

''{Strong Sad turns into the Strong Sad [[Character Cards|character card]] and flies up and off the screen. The Main Page at the top of the screen creeps up and out of the email.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{terrified}'' The Cheeeaaat!

''{Strong Bad runs off the screen and into the black to the right of the computer desk, then stops.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the...? Whoa! ''{shivers}'' It's cold out here.

''{Strong Bad tries to jump back into the room, but the room shifts left, causing him to still fall on blank space.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey!

''{Homestar Runner walks onscreen. His body is Old-Timey Homestar Runner's body, while the rest of him is normal. Instead of his legs moving, he just glides on. He leaves a motion trail behind him, producing several ghost images of himself.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Never fear, Strong Bad! I know how to fix your computer box. ''{He turns to the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{stands up}'' No, no, don't touch that!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Your super box needs words. ''{His head falls off and onto the ground.}'' Like these right here! Gotta have this one ''{He picks up "downloads" from the bottom menu.}'' and this one ''{He picks up "games" from the bottom menu.}'' and this-a-this-a-this one. ''{He picks up "characters" from the bottom menu.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' No, wait! Stop! That's not supposed to be possible!

''{Suddenly, several pop-up windows appear one after the other (including a real one, unless popup blocking is used), titled "Click on the Monkey!!" They each feature oldschool Homestar who is saying "Making out with Marzipan is totally awesome!" Strong Bad starts screaming and pounds the side of the screen with his fists. Cut to Marzipan's living room. Strong Mad is standing nearby and Marzipan is standing next to a stack of VHS tapes.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, I think it's fantastic, Strong Mad! That's the best stack of VHS tapes I've ever—

''{Marzipan turns into an ASCII art rendering of herself, and her voice becomes extremely deep and distorted making her words unintelligible.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I CAN'T SPELL YOU!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{more unintelligible gibberish}''

''{Strong Mad turns into a picture of himself from his [[Yearbook Character Page]], which walks offscreen with Homsar's walking noise. Text appears at the top of the screen reading as follows.}''

<blockquote>
If anyone is truly a big lug, Strong Mad is. This guy is dumb 
strong, and that's pretty much the definition of a lug. One ti 
his brother Strong Bad asked him to pick up this one car. An 
he did, but it was the wrong car. See? Dumb and strong. He' 
</blockquote>

''{Cut to the King of Town's castle. The Poopsmith is standing with his shovel extended and some [[Whatsit|whatsit]] on the end of it, as the King of Town stands nearby.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' A little to the left. ''{The Poopsmith extends the shovel toward the King.}'' Good, good...

''{The scene suddenly changes to a [[Teen Girl Squad]] style piece of paper, with the text "issue [[Pi|3.14159265and the rest]]" at the top. The Poopsmith is gone.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ooh! Poopsmith?!

''{The Ugly One appears out of nowhere with the rhino sound from "Strong Bad's RhinoFeeder", and her mouth is huge and distorted.}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' I can do it! I can do it ''nine times''!

''{The Ugly One extends her arm and starts slapping the King of Town.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Uh! No! Please! Stop! I'm old! And fat! And rich! And cool!

''{Cut to the Homestar Runner loading screen, and reveals a screen with the text "It's now safe to turn your computer off." The navbar disappears. Bubs walks on from the side of the screen. His mouth is a broken JPEG (with "TH" as the alt text), his legs are rendered as two overlapping red and blue layers, his midsection is missing, and he's carrying one of Homestar's legs in his left arm. His other arm is continually waving about, as seen on [[Dancin' Bubs]]. It is a bit larger than it should be}''

'''BUBS:''' I shoulda done this, like, a ''million years'' ago.

''{Cut to The Field, now a cloud scene. The Stick is gone. Strong Bad has one big foot instead of both legs, his black mark is too high, and his head and mouth are lopsided. The Cheat is floating around the screen, interchanging between different versions of himself. A pitch-black Rather Dashing and a colon fly by in the foreground. As Strong Bad talks, his left arm detaches from his body and flies off in random directions.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Using an old version of his voice}'' With Marzipan's radish, we're gonna win the competition...

''{An explosion sound effect is heard, and suddenly everything returns to normal, revealing Strong Bad and The Cheat standing by The Stick.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, he fixed it! That Bubs is a computer genius man! Let's do a dance for the computer genius man.

''{A salsa rhythm starts up, to which Strong Bad and The Cheat start dancing. The camera pans to the left to reveal Bubs holding a shotgun.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, Bubs! How'd you get rid of the vi— ''{salsa music fades away}'' wait... why do you have a shotgun? ''{shaken}'' What did you do?! Where's my Compy?!?

'''BUBS:''' It's in a better place, Strong Bad. Or rather, it's in the same place, but now it's got a big hole through it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{more shaken than ever}'' YOU MURDERER!! You killed my brother! ''{nearly sobbing}'' I mean, computer!

'''BUBS:''' Look, Strong Bad, my mouth was a broken JPEG. I had no choice.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You don't understand! You ''all'' understand! I mean, don't understand! YAAAUUUGGGHHH!

''{Strong Bad runs off screen, very distraught. The Cheat squeaks, as though he is telling Strong Bad to wait up, and runs after him. Homestar hops onscreen on one leg, holding his other leg up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Bubs, can I have my leg back now?

''{Bubs stares at Homestar for a long, uncomfortable moment.}

''{Cut to the Compy 386, which now has a giant hole through its monitor and most of the wall behind it. Strong Bad is sitting in front of it, head bowed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{very distraught}'' Dear Strong Bad, I doh du duoh crapfully yours. ''{He hits his head on the keyboard a few times.}'' I...ID DOH DU DUOH CRAPFULLY YOURS! I can relate. ''{He hits his head on the keyboard again.}'' I ''can't'' re''late!'' ''{He hits his head on the keyboard again.}'' I'm gonna get, I'm gonna get in there and '''mix''' ''{He hits his head.}'' it up!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still very distraught}'' I don't remember your ''names'', Davey! ''{hits head on keyboard again}'' Dear Strong Bad. ''{voice trailing off}'' How do you text with boxing gloves on?

*When the Main page is encroaching on the top of the screen, the [[Quote of the Week]], [[Sketchbook]], [[Weekly Fanstuff]], and [[What's New?]] buttons are all clickable.
**Clicking "What's New?" leads to [[Halloween Fairstival]].
**Clicking the Quote of the Week button makes it bounce around the screen until it gets lodged at the top by its bottom corner. Clicking "Hear it" causes a pixelated broom to scroll vertically along the screen while making a loud distorted noise, and some of the links disappear off the bottom of the screen. Unless the X is pressed, the quote box stays there for the rest of the email. When clicking the "X" to close it, the Quote of the Week box wobbles a bit and then falls off the screen, while the links reappear. If you view the Flash file, and roll your mouse over "Don't TAPE it", it changes to "Don't TAKE it!".
**Clicking on the Sketchbook leads to a glitched sketchbook box, where the Flash MX color mixer appears. Scrolling over it causes a green X to appear overtop. Clicking it causes it to close.
**Clicking on Weekly Fanstuff leads to a glitched fanstuff box, where there is a picture of Coach Z upside down with his arms and legs wrapped around a white space the shape of The King of Town's head. This image is from [[Where's The Cheat?]], when Coach Z attacked The King over a misunderstanding involving The Cheat and [[The King of Town's Grill|a grill]]. The picture has a lot of numbers at the bottom. Hovering the cursor over the misspelled "OCⓧSLE" insted of the close botton causes the words 'A BOOK' to appear in green. Clicking on it causes the box to slide to the top and disappear.
*Clicking on the cog on the left at the end of the e-mail shows the shotgunned Compy 386 on sale at [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], with signs reading "Like Used!" and "Slightly Shotgunned!"
*Clicking on the fan on the right shows an excerpt of the original [[Cheat Commandos (toon)|Cheat Commandos]] toon, but with Fightgar using Homestar's leg as a gun.
:'''NARRATOR:''' ...to protect the world from the evil forces of Blue Laser!

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
*The [[Wikipedia:Quadratic equation#Quadratic_Formula|quadratic formula]] is an algebraic equation used to determine the roots of a [[Wikipedia:Quadratic equation|quadratic equation]].
*The Teen Girl Squad issue number is [[Pi|pi]] truncated to 8 decimal places.
*The [[font]] used on the glitched fanstuff window is MS Fractions.

=== Trivia ===
[[Image:Virus%21.png|thumb|Ah! That is not a small number!]]
*This is the only page on the site that produces a pop-up "advertisement".
*This is the only email in which the [[HR:main_nav.swf|navbar]] and the email are combined into one Flash file (so that Homestar can grab the words). When the [[Random Toon|random toon]] link ("rando") was added to the navbar, The Brothers Chaps probably chose not to update this page, as the navbar is animated here, and could be difficult to change after the animation had been completed. This navigation bar was added to the DVD version; however, unlike the DVD version, the [[Podstar Runner]] version of this email did not have the navigation bar at the bottom.
*The numbers in the weeklies boxes are in a font called "MS Reference Specialty" and spell out the phrase "stick to your books" (possibly—since the letters a–h in MS Reference Specialty are represented by little squares).
*The broken JPEG is used in the Netscape family of web browsers, including [[Wikipedia:Netscape Navigator|Netscape Navigator]], [[Wikipedia:Mozilla|Mozilla]], and [[Wikipedia:Mozilla Firefox|Mozilla Firefox]].
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#spy vs spy|spy vs spy]]".

=== Remarks ===
*Because the toon was released before it, the [[Random Toon|rando]] link is missing throughout the entire cartoon, and the "[[Legal|legal]]" link reads "legal ''stuff''"
*Edgar the Virus Hunter is said to have been written in 1982, a year before the first documented experimental virus was created, although there are conflicting accounts as to when the first virus was made. The idea of a computer virus is much older, dating at least back to the 1972 science fiction novel, ''When [[Wikipedia:H.A.R.L.I.E.|H.A.R.L.I.E.]] Was One''. Even so, it would be very unlikely any sort of virus scanner would have existed in 1982.
*In 2004, the year of the release of this email, only about [http://www.sophos.com/pressoffice/news/articles/2004/12/pr_uk_20041208yeartopten.html 100,000 known viruses] existed; well under the 423,827 that Edgar reports.
*Strong Bad's head is larger than normal (but not his wrestling mask) while he is talking to Strong Sad. It reverts back to normal when he runs for The Cheat, but then regresses back to the larger head once he enters into the black.
*The letters that make up [[Wikipedia:ASCII art|ASCII art]] Marzipan refer to parts of her body: "E" for eyes, "f" for face, "h" for hair, and "d" for dress.
*Strong Bad says that Edgar from the [[Edgar#Edgarware|Edgarware]] program is his "main man." However, he claims in "[[2 years]]" that his main man "is, and has been since [[1987]], Van Mundegaarde."
*The reason the "making out with Marzipan" pop-up doesn't come up in the .swf, or Flash, version is because the information for the pop-up is stored in the HTML source code. All that the Flash file does is to send a JavaScript command to the browser, opening the pop-up window.
*In the Fake QOD, the words "Quote of the Day (Or So)" are displayed reversed, as though in a mirror, and, instead of "Hear It!" and "Get It!", the buttons are "Hear It!" and "Don't TAPE It", although the latter is hidden by the top of the screen. "TAPE" changes to "TAKE" when moused over.
**This happens because the SWF file for virus's fake Quote of the Week (qod_virus.swf) has black bars at the bottom, right where those words are, so when it appears in the email, it covers up those words.
*Allowing the fake Sketchbook to remain on-screen causes a screen glitch—a black box appears over the left side of the screen when the screen moves off of the center of the page.
**The reason for the color switcher glitch is because in the .swf file of the glitched up sketchbook, there is a black box to the left of the screen, which, of course, covers up the screen on the left.
*This is the second e-mail made using the Widescreen technique. The first was [[flashback]].
*If you click "main" on the navigation bar, it takes you to [[404'd]]. The address is http://www.homestarrunner.com/mainNaN.html. NaN is the computer term for Not a Number, which is obtained in some environments by dividing zero by zero, and/or other mathematical errors.
*When the fake popups appear followed by the real one, the fake ones look similar to the windows from some of the older Microsoft Windows operating systems. Depending on which operating system and desktop theme one uses, the real popup looks quite different from the fake ones. Especially users of operating systems such as Mac OS or Linux will notice this, while Windows 98 users will see no obvious difference.
*At the beginning of the Email the contrast buttons will slightly increase and decrease the volume.
*In the Podcast version, Strong Bad looks back and forth when the ads pop up, even though they all appear in one area.
*Most shotguns spread out from the barrel, whereas the blast from Bub's shotgun seems to narrow down as it reaches the back wall.
*When the "F" for [[Weekly Fanstuff]] and the "S" for [[Sketchbook]] are clicked, they change into a "[[Quote of the Week|Q]]".
*When the top of the screen lowers to reveal the weeklies, you can use the tab key to highlight a rectangle where the new toon message is displayed. While it can't be clicked, you can press enter while it is highlighted to go to [[Halloween Fairstival]].

=== Goofs ===
*While the liquid is leaking out of the screen, the contrast buttons are still clickable.
*After Homestar grabs "downloads", "characters", and "games" from the bottom, "toons" is no longer clickable, unlike the other remaining links. Then, at the end of the email when everything else returns to normal, all the links disappear.
*The fake QOD, fanstuff, and sketchbook stay on the screen until you get rid of them, even after Bubs shotguns the Compy, and in the Easter eggs.
*After Strong Bad types "deleted!" for the first time, and the blue screen appears, the drive letter disappears.
*The links between "toons" and "contact" disappear while the Quote of the Day Easter egg is active.

===Glitches===
*If you view the flash file, Strong Bad's head appears outside of the bottom part of the screen.

=== Inside References ===

*This is an extreme instance of [[Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning]].
*The "Flagrant System Error" title is from [[50 emails]].
*Strong Bad's response to the Flagrant System Error ("That's not a good prize!") comes from "[[Pumpkin Carve-nival]]".
*"Stave it off, 1, 2, 3..." is from the counting song in "[[Whaddaya Know, Haddi-Man?]]".
*The card that Strong Sad transforms into is from the original deck of [[Character Cards]] that has since been removed from the site.
*The pixelated broom induced by the glitched Quote of the Day is the same graphic used in Peasant's Quest for the broom [[Baby Lady & Her Baby|the baby]] knocks over to let you into [[Naked Ned]]'s cottage.
**Using a broom to play Marzipan's garbled noise may be an oblique reference to people mistaking her for a broom.
*"Making out with Marzipan is totally awesome" was once the phrase necessary to trigger the Strong Bad Talker from the [[Homestar Talker]]. (It has since been changed.) The sound clips for the words were also taken from the Homestar Talker. The first four words of the phrase are also heard in "[[The Cheat Theme Song]]".
**The "Click on the Monkey" pop-up(s) shows an [[Homestar Runner Evolution|older version of Homestar]].
*Strong Bad screaming and pounding on the edge of the screen while the popups are appearing could be a reference to [[Where the Crap Are We?]].
*Strong Mad's description, which appears when he glitches, comes from the [[Yearbook Character Page]], as does the picture of him inside a giant M.
**This time, the giant M show's Strong Mad's "M" insignia on his singlet, whereas in [[Yearbook Character Page]], the giant M did not.
*The sound effect that plays when The Ugly One appears is taken from [[RhinoFeeder]].
*[[The Ugly One]]'s line and the sound effects for her slapping the King of Town in the face come from [[crazy cartoon]]. (However, she slightly misquotes it: the original line was "I can do it! I ''will'' do it nine times.")
*The powering-down sound that plays just before Bubs walks across the screen is the same sound that plays just before the [[Tandy 400]] explodes in [[gimmicks]]
*As Bubs is walking across the screen the first time, his left and right arms are moving as if stuck in positons #4 and #5 (respectively) in the [[Dancin' Bubs]] game. Bubs' right arm is also about twice as large as usual.
*Bubs' broken JPEG mouth bears the letters "TH." This might be a reference to his other identity, [[The Thnikkaman]].
*During the final glitch scene (just before Bubs "fixes" the computer), the song playing in the background is the intro to "[[Parsnips-A-Plenty]]" and "[[That A Ghost]]".
*Strong Bad's line during the final glitch scene is taken directly from [[The Reddest Radish]].
*The cloud background during the final glitch scene is the same cloud background used in [[New Boots]].
*[[Image:virusdthecheat.gif|thumb|Virus'd The Cheat]] During the final glitch scene, The Cheat is on a rotation of six different versions of himself:
*# The [[Awexome Cross]] version.
*# One that looks like one of The Cheat's styles from "[[The Cheat Theme Song]]".
*# A drawn version, from "[[The Reddest Radish]]".
*# Another drawn version from Strong Bad's site.
*# A far more pixellated version of him, with a thin black outline around it.
*# And a Cheat x-ing sign, much like the similar signs seen in the [[Fan Stuff]] part of the [[Museum]].
*The fan and cog in the Compy 386 are the same fan and cog that were visible when the Tandy 400 exploded.
**If you look closely (or zoom into the Flash file) the fan is once again mysteriously floating in space, just like when the Tandy 400 blew up.
*Bubs sells the [[Broken Compy Menu|broken Compy 386]] as he did with the [[King of Town Email|broken Tandy 400]].
*At the very end, Strong Bad mutters "[[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|how do you text with boxing gloves on?]]", a question commonly asked in his emails.


=== Real-World References ===
*[[Wikipedia:Linux kernel|"Linux"]] is a [[Wikipedia:Free software|Free]] [[Wikipedia:Unix|Unix-like]] [[Wikipedia:Kernel (computer science)|kernel]] originally written in 1991, or part of an entire operating system which uses this kernel ([[Wikipedia:Linux|"GNU/Linux"]]).
*[[Edgar#Edgarware|Edgarware]] is a spoof of Norton Anti-Virus, which until 2001 used bespectacled computer nerd [[Wikipedia:Peter Norton|Peter Norton]] as a front man.
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] on Strong Bad's desk is labeled "''Spy vs. Spy''" before it melts into the desk. ''[[Wikipedia:Spy vs. Spy (computer game)|Spy vs. Spy]]'', based on the feature comic of [[Wikipedia:Mad Magazine|MAD Magazine]], was a game for old computers and the NES that featured innovative split screen gameplay.
*The part where Homestar is followed by "ghost" images of himself is a Flash in-joke, referring to the [[Wikipedia:Onion skinning|Onion skinning]] feature of the program that will display translucent images of previous frames as an animation guide.
*"Click on the monkey" refers to various [[Wikipedia:Pop-up ad|popups]] where if you click said object (ranging from targets to robbers, iPods, etc.), your computer will usually get bombarded with spyware, viruses, etc.
*The dance The Cheat performs when Strong Bad says, "Let's do a dance for the computer genius man," looks like [[Wikipedia:Dana Carvey|Dana Carvey]]'s "[[Wikipedia:Church Lady|Church Lady]]" dance from the classic SNL sketch.
*"[[Wikipedia:Bourgeoisie|Bourgeoise]]," one of the emoticons acting as Strong Sad's head is the term used in [[Wikipedia:Marxism|Marxism]] to describe the upper or middle class that opposed the [[Wikipedia:Proletariat|proletariat]] in the class struggle.
*The "ding" sound heard after EdgarWare finds the viruses is taken from some versions of [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Microsoft Windows]].
*The screen "It's now safe to turn your computer off." is similar to the one displayed when shutting down a Windows computer that cannot turn itself off. The actual message is "It is now safe to turn off your computer", and the style of this message is taken from Windows 95 through 98. (and some later versions of Windows, if the computer is unable to turn itself off.)
*"A wise guy, eh?" was frequently muttered (in a very similar tone of voice to how Strong Bad says it) by [[Wikipedia:Moe Howard|Moe Howard]] of the comedy group [[Wikipedia:The Three Stooges|The Three Stooges]].
*The final scene, with Strong Bad banging his head on the computer and mumbling to himself, is reminiscent of the climactic scene in [[Wikipedia:Raging Bull|Raging Bull]], where [[Wikipedia:Jake La Motta|Jake La Motta]], played by [[Wikipedia:Robert De Niro|Robert De Niro]], is thrown into a jail cell in [[Wikipedia:Dade County|Dade County]], [[Wikipedia:Florida|Florida]], and begins to bang his head against the wall and rave incoherently.

===Fast Forward===
*The shotgunned Compy would reappear in [[retirement]].

== DVD Version ==
*The central pop-up (e.g. the one that would actually pop up on the website version) does not appear.
*Unlike all other DVD emails, this has the [[HR:main_nav.swf|navbar]] on the bottom.
*The way the Quote of the Week, Sketchbook, and Weekly Fanstuff easter eggs work has changed. All three are combined into one easter egg, which goes to the Weekly Fanstuff easter egg, then the Quote of the Week easter egg, and finally the Sketchbook easter egg.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]], [[Homestar Runner]])

'''MIKE:''' This email looks tiny, Matt.

'''MATT:''' It's a funny shape.

'''MIKE:''' It's smaller than the rest, and there's little words at the bottom.

'''MATT:''' This doesn't make any sense to me!

'''MIKE:''' What's going on?

'''MATT:''' S— Oh, no. Strong Bad must have gotten some type of a wirus!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Virus.

'''MATT:''' B— Pardon?

'''MIKE:''' Virus?

'''MATT:''' Oh. I used the German pronunciation.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' K. Um, so this was, uh, this was a— this email was kind of a big— big production.

'''MATT:''' Mm hmm.

'''MIKE:''' Took longer than most.

'''MATT:''' A long time in coming.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Um...

'''MATT:''' Yeah, see— he hasn't used "deleted" on the Lappy yet, now that he has a new computer, has he?

'''MIKE:''' I guess not. I wonder what it looks like when he deletes something on the Lappy.

'''MATT:''' I dunno. "Drop a train on 'em" was from a bad hip-hop song I made in college — ''{Mike laughs}''— where I sampled the soundtrack from a Dirty Harry movie.

'''MIKE:''' That's a good song.

'''MATT:''' Thanks.

''{Pause}''

'''MIKE:''' So this, obviously, was, uh, pretty fun to make where you could just kinda put stuff wherever and just...

'''MATT:''' It's more like ''your'' computer is getting the virus than Strong Bad's computer getting the virus.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. The whole world is getting the virus.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. "Stave it off, 1, 2, 3" up there at the top.

'''MIKE:''' Mm hmm. There's uh, Strong Sad's head is the, uh, his little emoticons from the uh, his—

'''MATT:''' Strong Sad's Web journal.

'''MIKE:''' Strong Sad Journal.

'''MATT:''' That was from an unused character page we never made.

'''MIKE:''' Mm hmm.

''{Pause}''

'''MIKE:''' Say something good, Matt.

'''MATT:''' Uh—

'''MIKE:''' Make it— Make it funny.

'''MATT:''' All right. ''{adopts different tone}'' T— To— ''{normal voice}'' Oh, yeah, weren't we gonna do— I was going to be a character when we did this commentary.

'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah. Start doing Homestar.

'''MATT:''' All right...

''{Pause}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' That was a lot of me's.

'''MIKE:''' That ''was'' a lot of you's.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Mike, some of them were old me's that don't look so great.

'''MIKE:''' That's right. I thought you looked pretty good back in the old days.

'''HOMESTAR:''' No, no.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, you—

'''HOMESTAR:''' Look bad.

'''MIKE:''' Look Bad!

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Strong Bad.

'''HOMESTAR:''' That's a different character.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Who was Look Bad again?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, what are they doing there? Is he gonna eat that doo-doo shovel?

'''MIKE:''' No, I think was going to take a picture of it, maybe.

'''HOMESTAR:''' But he doesn't have a camera, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' But the camera was offscreen.

'''HOMESTAR:''' He's got a mustache.

'''MIKE:''' The camera was offscreen.

'''HOMESTAR:''' He clearly wanted... a doo-doo-stache.

'''MIKE:''' Who's that, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR:''' That looks kinda like Bubs, from Website. But I don't think so. Oh, look, it's ''Pitfall''.

'''MIKE:''' That did happen in ''Pitfall''.

'''HOMESTAR:''' If you flick the on and off switch a lot, you get a little floating Pitfall Harry through the trees!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, I like The Cheat's little sassy dance there, Homestar. Did you teach him that?

'''HOMESTAR:''' I did. Hands on hips!

'''MIKE:''' How'd you teach him that?

'''HOMESTAR:''' I said, "Hands on hips!"

'''MIKE:''' Look, there's your leg.

'''HOMESTAR:''' That is not my leg! That looks like a shotgun.

'''MIKE:''' Bu—

''{Pause}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' That shotgun looks dangerous, Mike. I don't agree with its appearance in this cartoon.

'''MIKE:''' You shouldn't play with shotguns, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR:''' I don't, man.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Good.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Did you learn that the hard way?

'''MIKE:''' No.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Penny Hardaway?

'''MIKE:''' I'm allowed to— I'm allowed to draw them, though. Drawing them's no problem.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Drawing them is bad.

'''MIKE:''' No, I think it's okay.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Here I come!

'''MIKE:''' See?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Look! I lost my leg!

'''MIKE:''' I know, that's— Bubs— Bubs has it there.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Strong Bad looks like he's a little delirious in this part.

'''MIKE:''' He's— He's sad. He's had a great loss. People sometimes act like this... when they're experiencing great losses.

'''HOMESTAR:''' But— Mike, a great loss sounds like a contradiction.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' I don't— I've never had any ''great'' losses.

'''MIKE:''' "Great"— "Great" meaning "large," not meaning—

'''HOMESTAR:''' All my losses are bad losses.

'''MIKE:''' You've never had a great loss?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Except maybe, some pounds. ''{Pause}'' He just really put a hole right through that thing, huh?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Didn't go through the wall, though.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Nope. ''{whispering}'' Let's get quiet.

'''MIKE:''' ''{whispering}'' Okay.

=== Fun Facts ===

* Matt says Strong Bad got a "wirus" and then calls this "the German pronunciation". This is because many native German speakers have difficulty distinguishing the "v" and "w" sounds in English and might thus say "wirus" instead of "virus".
* Homestar demonstrates his ignorance that he has [[Lack of Visible Arms|no visible hands or arms]].
* [[Wikipedia:Penny Hardaway|Penny Hardaway]] is a professional basketball player who has played guard for the [[Wikipedia:National Basketball Association|NBA]]'s Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns, and New York Knicks.

''{Pronounces "Ert plus: Why seven-six P? Ohlyuu eightguh—" then stops}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is this? Did the quadratic formula explode? I see a "Strong ba" in there, but it's getting eaten... by some... Linux or something. Wait a minute! Is this one of those ''virus'' emails?! Like the kind that moms and offshore casinos send you?!? I'll take care of this!

''{Strong Bad types "deleted!", but the screen flashes:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Computer over? Virus equals very yes?! That's not a good prize!

''{The text on the Compy 386 screen melts off and slides onto the floor.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh!

''{Strong Bad jumps out of the way. The camera zooms out to a view of the computer desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And the Compy... just peed my carpet.

''{The Floppy Disk Container gets eaten by the computer desk. Strong Sad walks in, but his head is floating a foot to the left of where it should be and has been replaced by his emoticons from [[Strong Sad's Lament]].}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{sounding annoyed}'' Strong Bad, what is going on?

'''STRONG BAD:''' WAH! I dunno! You forgot to wear your neck?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Have you been using the Internet irresponsibly?

''{The top of a Main Page starts to creep into the top of the email, with the text "Stave it off, 1, 2, 3..." in the corner in place of the "What's new" text.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No more irresponsibly than usual.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{His lower body starts walking away in place.}'' Did you get a virus?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{with guilt}'' Uhhh, noo...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Did you get ''four hundred thousand'' viruses?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{submissive}'' Yes... ''very'' yes!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, hurry up and ''do'' something about it before it gets worse!

''{Strong Sad turns into the Strong Sad [[Character Cards|character card]] and flies up and off the screen. The Main Page at the top of the screen creeps up and out of the email.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{terrified}'' The Cheeeaaat!

''{Strong Bad runs off the screen and into the black to the right of the computer desk, then stops.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the...? Whoa! ''{shivers}'' It's cold out here.

''{Strong Bad tries to jump back into the room, but the room shifts left, causing him to still fall on blank space.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey!

''{Homestar Runner walks onscreen. His body is Old-Timey Homestar Runner's body, while the rest of him is normal. Instead of his legs moving, he just glides on. He leaves a motion trail behind him, producing several ghost images of himself.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Never fear, Strong Bad! I know how to fix your computer box. ''{He turns to the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{stands up}'' No, no, don't touch that!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Your super box needs words. ''{His head falls off and onto the ground.}'' Like these right here! Gotta have this one ''{He picks up "downloads" from the bottom menu.}'' and this one ''{He picks up "games" from the bottom menu.}'' and this-a-this-a-this one. ''{He picks up "characters" from the bottom menu.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' No, wait! Stop! That's not supposed to be possible!

''{Suddenly, several pop-up windows appear one after the other (including a real one, unless popup blocking is used), titled "Click on the Monkey!!" They each feature oldschool Homestar who is saying "Making out with Marzipan is totally awesome!" Strong Bad starts screaming and pounds the side of the screen with his fists. Cut to Marzipan's living room. Strong Mad is standing nearby and Marzipan is standing next to a stack of VHS tapes.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, I think it's fantastic, Strong Mad! That's the best stack of VHS tapes I've ever—

''{Marzipan turns into an ASCII art rendering of herself, and her voice becomes extremely deep and distorted making her words unintelligible.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I CAN'T SPELL YOU!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{more unintelligible gibberish}''

''{Strong Mad turns into a picture of himself from his [[Yearbook Character Page]], which walks offscreen with Homsar's walking noise. Text appears at the top of the screen reading as follows.}''

<blockquote>
If anyone is truly a big lug, Strong Mad is. This guy is dumb 
strong, and that's pretty much the definition of a lug. One ti 
his brother Strong Bad asked him to pick up this one car. An 
he did, but it was the wrong car. See? Dumb and strong. He' 
</blockquote>

''{Cut to the King of Town's castle. The Poopsmith is standing with his shovel extended and some [[Whatsit|whatsit]] on the end of it, as the King of Town stands nearby.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' A little to the left. ''{The Poopsmith extends the shovel toward the King.}'' Good, good...

''{The scene suddenly changes to a [[Teen Girl Squad]] style piece of paper, with the text "issue [[Pi|3.14159265and the rest]]" at the top. The Poopsmith is gone.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ooh! Poopsmith?!

''{The Ugly One appears out of nowhere with the rhino sound from "Strong Bad's RhinoFeeder", and her mouth is huge and distorted.}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' I can do it! I can do it ''nine times''!

''{The Ugly One extends her arm and starts slapping the King of Town.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Uh! No! Please! Stop! I'm old! And fat! And rich! And cool!

''{Cut to the Homestar Runner loading screen, and reveals a screen with the text "It's now safe to turn your computer off." The navbar disappears. Bubs walks on from the side of the screen. His mouth is a broken JPEG (with "TH" as the alt text), his legs are rendered as two overlapping red and blue layers, his midsection is missing, and he's carrying one of Homestar's legs in his left arm. His other arm is continually waving about, as seen on [[Dancin' Bubs]]. It is a bit larger than it should be}''

'''BUBS:''' I shoulda done this, like, a ''million years'' ago.

''{Cut to The Field, now a cloud scene. The Stick is gone. Strong Bad has one big foot instead of both legs, his black mark is too high, and his head and mouth are lopsided. The Cheat is floating around the screen, interchanging between different versions of himself. A pitch-black Rather Dashing and a colon fly by in the foreground. As Strong Bad talks, his left arm detaches from his body and flies off in random directions.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Using an old version of his voice}'' With Marzipan's radish, we're gonna win the competition...

''{An explosion sound effect is heard, and suddenly everything returns to normal, revealing Strong Bad and The Cheat standing by The Stick.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, he fixed it! That Bubs is a computer genius man! Let's do a dance for the computer genius man.

''{A salsa rhythm starts up, to which Strong Bad and The Cheat start dancing. The camera pans to the left to reveal Bubs holding a shotgun.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, Bubs! How'd you get rid of the vi— ''{salsa music fades away}'' wait... why do you have a shotgun? ''{shaken}'' What did you do?! Where's my Compy?!?

'''BUBS:''' It's in a better place, Strong Bad. Or rather, it's in the same place, but now it's got a big hole through it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{more shaken than ever}'' YOU MURDERER!! You killed my brother! ''{nearly sobbing}'' I mean, computer!

'''BUBS:''' Look, Strong Bad, my mouth was a broken JPEG. I had no choice.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You don't understand! You ''all'' understand! I mean, don't understand! YAAAUUUGGGHHH!

''{Strong Bad runs off screen, very distraught. The Cheat squeaks, as though he is telling Strong Bad to wait up, and runs after him. Homestar hops onscreen on one leg, holding his other leg up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Bubs, can I have my leg back now?

''{Bubs stares at Homestar for a long, uncomfortable moment.}

''{Cut to the Compy 386, which now has a giant hole through its monitor and most of the wall behind it. Strong Bad is sitting in front of it, head bowed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{very distraught}'' Dear Strong Bad, I doh du duoh crapfully yours. ''{He hits his head on the keyboard a few times.}'' I...ID DOH DU DUOH CRAPFULLY YOURS! I can relate. ''{He hits his head on the keyboard again.}'' I ''can't'' re''late!'' ''{He hits his head on the keyboard again.}'' I'm gonna get, I'm gonna get in there and '''mix''' ''{He hits his head.}'' it up!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still very distraught}'' I don't remember your ''names'', Davey! ''{hits head on keyboard again}'' Dear Strong Bad. ''{voice trailing off}'' How do you text with boxing gloves on?

== Easter Eggs ==

*When the Main page is encroaching on the top of the screen, the [[Quote of the Week]], [[Sketchbook]], [[Weekly Fanstuff]], and [[What's New?]] buttons are all clickable.
**Clicking "What's New?" leads to [[Halloween Fairstival]].
**Clicking the Quote of the Week button makes it bounce around the screen until it gets lodged at the top by its bottom corner. Clicking "Hear it" causes a pixelated broom to scroll vertically along the screen while making a loud distorted noise, and some of the links disappear off the bottom of the screen. Unless the X is pressed, the quote box stays there for the rest of the email. When clicking the "X" to close it, the Quote of the Week box wobbles a bit and then falls off the screen, while the links reappear. If you view the Flash file, and roll your mouse over "Don't TAPE it", it changes to "Don't TAKE it!".
**Clicking on the Sketchbook leads to a glitched sketchbook box, where the Flash MX color mixer appears. Scrolling over it causes a green X to appear overtop. Clicking it causes it to close.
**Clicking on Weekly Fanstuff leads to a glitched fanstuff box, where there is a picture of Coach Z upside down with his arms and legs wrapped around a white space the shape of The King of Town's head. This image is from [[Where's The Cheat?]], when Coach Z attacked The King over a misunderstanding involving The Cheat and [[The King of Town's Grill|a grill]]. The picture has a lot of numbers at the bottom. Hovering the cursor over the misspelled "OCⓧSLE" insted of the close botton causes the words 'A BOOK' to appear in green. Clicking on it causes the box to slide to the top and disappear.
*Clicking on the cog on the left at the end of the e-mail shows the shotgunned Compy 386 on sale at [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], with signs reading "Like Used!" and "Slightly Shotgunned!"
*Clicking on the fan on the right shows an excerpt of the original [[Cheat Commandos (toon)|Cheat Commandos]] toon, but with Fightgar using Homestar's leg as a gun.
:'''NARRATOR:''' ...to protect the world from the evil forces of Blue Laser!

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
*The [[Wikipedia:Quadratic equation#Quadratic_Formula|quadratic formula]] is an algebraic equation used to determine the roots of a [[Wikipedia:Quadratic equation|quadratic equation]].
*The Teen Girl Squad issue number is [[Pi|pi]] truncated to 8 decimal places.
*The [[font]] used on the glitched fanstuff window is MS Fractions.

=== Trivia ===
[[Image:Virus%21.png|thumb|Ah! That is not a small number!]]
*This is the only page on the site that produces a pop-up "advertisement".
*This is the only email in which the [[HR:main_nav.swf|navbar]] and the email are combined into one Flash file (so that Homestar can grab the words). When the [[Random Toon|random toon]] link ("rando") was added to the navbar, The Brothers Chaps probably chose not to update this page, as the navbar is animated here, and could be difficult to change after the animation had been completed. This navigation bar was added to the DVD version; however, unlike the DVD version, the [[Podstar Runner]] version of this email did not have the navigation bar at the bottom.
*The numbers in the weeklies boxes are in a font called "MS Reference Specialty" and spell out the phrase "stick to your books" (possibly—since the letters a–h in MS Reference Specialty are represented by little squares).
*The broken JPEG is used in the Netscape family of web browsers, including [[Wikipedia:Netscape Navigator|Netscape Navigator]], [[Wikipedia:Mozilla|Mozilla]], and [[Wikipedia:Mozilla Firefox|Mozilla Firefox]].
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#spy vs spy|spy vs spy]]".

=== Remarks ===
*Because the toon was released before it, the [[Random Toon|rando]] link is missing throughout the entire cartoon, and the "[[Legal|legal]]" link reads "legal ''stuff''"
*Edgar the Virus Hunter is said to have been written in 1982, a year before the first documented experimental virus was created, although there are conflicting accounts as to when the first virus was made. The idea of a computer virus is much older, dating at least back to the 1972 science fiction novel, ''When [[Wikipedia:H.A.R.L.I.E.|H.A.R.L.I.E.]] Was One''. Even so, it would be very unlikely any sort of virus scanner would have existed in 1982.
*In 2004, the year of the release of this email, only about [http://www.sophos.com/pressoffice/news/articles/2004/12/pr_uk_20041208yeartopten.html 100,000 known viruses] existed; well under the 423,827 that Edgar reports.
*Strong Bad's head is larger than normal (but not his wrestling mask) while he is talking to Strong Sad. It reverts back to normal when he runs for The Cheat, but then regresses back to the larger head once he enters into the black.
*The letters that make up [[Wikipedia:ASCII art|ASCII art]] Marzipan refer to parts of her body: "E" for eyes, "f" for face, "h" for hair, and "d" for dress.
*Strong Bad says that Edgar from the [[Edgar#Edgarware|Edgarware]] program is his "main man." However, he claims in "[[2 years]]" that his main man "is, and has been since [[1987]], Van Mundegaarde."
*The reason the "making out with Marzipan" pop-up doesn't come up in the .swf, or Flash, version is because the information for the pop-up is stored in the HTML source code. All that the Flash file does is to send a JavaScript command to the browser, opening the pop-up window.
*In the Fake QOD, the words "Quote of the Day (Or So)" are displayed reversed, as though in a mirror, and, instead of "Hear It!" and "Get It!", the buttons are "Hear It!" and "Don't TAPE It", although the latter is hidden by the top of the screen. "TAPE" changes to "TAKE" when moused over.
**This happens because the SWF file for virus's fake Quote of the Week (qod_virus.swf) has black bars at the bottom, right where those words are, so when it appears in the email, it covers up those words.
*Allowing the fake Sketchbook to remain on-screen causes a screen glitch—a black box appears over the left side of the screen when the screen moves off of the center of the page.
**The reason for the color switcher glitch is because in the .swf file of the glitched up sketchbook, there is a black box to the left of the screen, which, of course, covers up the screen on the left.
*This is the second e-mail made using the Widescreen technique. The first was [[flashback]].
*If you click "main" on the navigation bar, it takes you to [[404'd]]. The address is http://www.homestarrunner.com/mainNaN.html. NaN is the computer term for Not a Number, which is obtained in some environments by dividing zero by zero, and/or other mathematical errors.
*When the fake popups appear followed by the real one, the fake ones look similar to the windows from some of the older Microsoft Windows operating systems. Depending on which operating system and desktop theme one uses, the real popup looks quite different from the fake ones. Especially users of operating systems such as Mac OS or Linux will notice this, while Windows 98 users will see no obvious difference.
*At the beginning of the Email the contrast buttons will slightly increase and decrease the volume.
*In the Podcast version, Strong Bad looks back and forth when the ads pop up, even though they all appear in one area.
*Most shotguns spread out from the barrel, whereas the blast from Bub's shotgun seems to narrow down as it reaches the back wall.
*When the "F" for [[Weekly Fanstuff]] and the "S" for [[Sketchbook]] are clicked, they change into a "[[Quote of the Week|Q]]".
*When the top of the screen lowers to reveal the weeklies, you can use the tab key to highlight a rectangle where the new toon message is displayed. While it can't be clicked, you can press enter while it is highlighted to go to [[Halloween Fairstival]].

=== Goofs ===
*While the liquid is leaking out of the screen, the contrast buttons are still clickable.
*After Homestar grabs "downloads", "characters", and "games" from the bottom, "toons" is no longer clickable, unlike the other remaining links. Then, at the end of the email when everything else returns to normal, all the links disappear.
*The fake QOD, fanstuff, and sketchbook stay on the screen until you get rid of them, even after Bubs shotguns the Compy, and in the Easter eggs.
*After Strong Bad types "deleted!" for the first time, and the blue screen appears, the drive letter disappears.
*The links between "toons" and "contact" disappear while the Quote of the Day Easter egg is active.

==Glitches==
*If you view the flash file, Strong Bad's head appears outside of the bottom part of the screen.

=== Inside References ===

*This is an extreme instance of [[Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning]].
*The "Flagrant System Error" title is from [[50 emails]].
*Strong Bad's response to the Flagrant System Error ("That's not a good prize!") comes from "[[Pumpkin Carve-nival]]".
*"Stave it off, 1, 2, 3..." is from the counting song in "[[Whaddaya Know, Haddi-Man?]]".
*The card that Strong Sad transforms into is from the original deck of [[Character Cards]] that has since been removed from the site.
*The pixelated broom induced by the glitched Quote of the Day is the same graphic used in Peasant's Quest for the broom [[Baby Lady & Her Baby|the baby]] knocks over to let you into [[Naked Ned]]'s cottage.
**Using a broom to play Marzipan's garbled noise may be an oblique reference to people mistaking her for a broom.
*"Making out with Marzipan is totally awesome" was once the phrase necessary to trigger the Strong Bad Talker from the [[Homestar Talker]]. (It has since been changed.) The sound clips for the words were also taken from the Homestar Talker. The first four words of the phrase are also heard in "[[The Cheat Theme Song]]".
**The "Click on the Monkey" pop-up(s) shows an [[Homestar Runner Evolution|older version of Homestar]].
*Strong Bad screaming and pounding on the edge of the screen while the popups are appearing could be a reference to [[Where the Crap Are We?]].
*Strong Mad's description, which appears when he glitches, comes from the [[Yearbook Character Page]], as does the picture of him inside a giant M.
**This time, the giant M show's Strong Mad's "M" insignia on his singlet, whereas in [[Yearbook Character Page]], the giant M did not.
*The sound effect that plays when The Ugly One appears is taken from [[RhinoFeeder]].
*[[The Ugly One]]'s line and the sound effects for her slapping the King of Town in the face come from [[crazy cartoon]]. (However, she slightly misquotes it: the original line was "I can do it! I ''will'' do it nine times.")
*The powering-down sound that plays just before Bubs walks across the screen is the same sound that plays just before the [[Tandy 400]] explodes in [[gimmicks]]
*As Bubs is walking across the screen the first time, his left and right arms are moving as if stuck in positons #4 and #5 (respectively) in the [[Dancin' Bubs]] game. Bubs' right arm is also about twice as large as usual.
*Bubs' broken JPEG mouth bears the letters "TH." This might be a reference to his other identity, [[The Thnikkaman]].
*During the final glitch scene (just before Bubs "fixes" the computer), the song playing in the background is the intro to "[[Parsnips-A-Plenty]]" and "[[That A Ghost]]".
*Strong Bad's line during the final glitch scene is taken directly from [[The Reddest Radish]].
*The cloud background during the final glitch scene is the same cloud background used in [[New Boots]].
*[[Image:virusdthecheat.gif|thumb|Virus'd The Cheat]] During the final glitch scene, The Cheat is on a rotation of six different versions of himself:
*# The [[Awexome Cross]] version.
*# One that looks like one of The Cheat's styles from "[[The Cheat Theme Song]]".
*# A drawn version, from "[[The Reddest Radish]]".
*# Another drawn version from Strong Bad's site.
*# A far more pixellated version of him, with a thin black outline around it.
*# And a Cheat x-ing sign, much like the similar signs seen in the [[Fan Stuff]] part of the [[Museum]].
*The fan and cog in the Compy 386 are the same fan and cog that were visible when the Tandy 400 exploded.
**If you look closely (or zoom into the Flash file) the fan is once again mysteriously floating in space, just like when the Tandy 400 blew up.
*Bubs sells the [[Broken Compy Menu|broken Compy 386]] as he did with the [[King of Town Email|broken Tandy 400]].
*At the very end, Strong Bad mutters "[[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|how do you text with boxing gloves on?]]", a question commonly asked in his emails.


=== Real-World References ===
*[[Wikipedia:Linux kernel|"Linux"]] is a [[Wikipedia:Free software|Free]] [[Wikipedia:Unix|Unix-like]] [[Wikipedia:Kernel (computer science)|kernel]] originally written in 1991, or part of an entire operating system which uses this kernel ([[Wikipedia:Linux|"GNU/Linux"]]).
*[[Edgar#Edgarware|Edgarware]] is a spoof of Norton Anti-Virus, which until 2001 used bespectacled computer nerd [[Wikipedia:Peter Norton|Peter Norton]] as a front man.
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] on Strong Bad's desk is labeled "''Spy vs. Spy''" before it melts into the desk. ''[[Wikipedia:Spy vs. Spy (computer game)|Spy vs. Spy]]'', based on the feature comic of [[Wikipedia:Mad Magazine|MAD Magazine]], was a game for old computers and the NES that featured innovative split screen gameplay.
*The part where Homestar is followed by "ghost" images of himself is a Flash in-joke, referring to the [[Wikipedia:Onion skinning|Onion skinning]] feature of the program that will display translucent images of previous frames as an animation guide.
*"Click on the monkey" refers to various [[Wikipedia:Pop-up ad|popups]] where if you click said object (ranging from targets to robbers, iPods, etc.), your computer will usually get bombarded with spyware, viruses, etc.
*The dance The Cheat performs when Strong Bad says, "Let's do a dance for the computer genius man," looks like [[Wikipedia:Dana Carvey|Dana Carvey]]'s "[[Wikipedia:Church Lady|Church Lady]]" dance from the classic SNL sketch.
*"[[Wikipedia:Bourgeoisie|Bourgeoise]]," one of the emoticons acting as Strong Sad's head is the term used in [[Wikipedia:Marxism|Marxism]] to describe the upper or middle class that opposed the [[Wikipedia:Proletariat|proletariat]] in the class struggle.
*The "ding" sound heard after EdgarWare finds the viruses is taken from some versions of [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Microsoft Windows]].
*The screen "It's now safe to turn your computer off." is similar to the one displayed when shutting down a Windows computer that cannot turn itself off. The actual message is "It is now safe to turn off your computer", and the style of this message is taken from Windows 95 through 98. (and some later versions of Windows, if the computer is unable to turn itself off.)
*"A wise guy, eh?" was frequently muttered (in a very similar tone of voice to how Strong Bad says it) by [[Wikipedia:Moe Howard|Moe Howard]] of the comedy group [[Wikipedia:The Three Stooges|The Three Stooges]].
*The final scene, with Strong Bad banging his head on the computer and mumbling to himself, is reminiscent of the climactic scene in [[Wikipedia:Raging Bull|Raging Bull]], where [[Wikipedia:Jake La Motta|Jake La Motta]], played by [[Wikipedia:Robert De Niro|Robert De Niro]], is thrown into a jail cell in [[Wikipedia:Dade County|Dade County]], [[Wikipedia:Florida|Florida]], and begins to bang his head against the wall and rave incoherently.

===Fast Forward===
*The shotgunned Compy would reappear in [[retirement]].

== DVD Version ==
*The central pop-up (e.g. the one that would actually pop up on the website version) does not appear.
*Unlike all other DVD emails, this has the [[HR:main_nav.swf|navbar]] on the bottom.
*The way the Quote of the Week, Sketchbook, and Weekly Fanstuff easter eggs work has changed. All three are combined into one easter egg, which goes to the Weekly Fanstuff easter egg, then the Quote of the Week easter egg, and finally the Sketchbook easter egg.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]], [[Homestar Runner]])

'''MIKE:''' This email looks tiny, Matt.

'''MATT:''' It's a funny shape.

'''MIKE:''' It's smaller than the rest, and there's little words at the bottom.

'''MATT:''' This doesn't make any sense to me!

'''MIKE:''' What's going on?

'''MATT:''' S— Oh, no. Strong Bad must have gotten some type of a wirus!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Virus.

'''MATT:''' B— Pardon?

'''MIKE:''' Virus?

'''MATT:''' Oh. I used the German pronunciation.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' K. Um, so this was, uh, this was a— this email was kind of a big— big production.

'''MATT:''' Mm hmm.

'''MIKE:''' Took longer than most.

'''MATT:''' A long time in coming.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Um...

'''MATT:''' Yeah, see— he hasn't used "deleted" on the Lappy yet, now that he has a new computer, has he?

'''MIKE:''' I guess not. I wonder what it looks like when he deletes something on the Lappy.

'''MATT:''' I dunno. "Drop a train on 'em" was from a bad hip-hop song I made in college — ''{Mike laughs}''— where I sampled the soundtrack from a Dirty Harry movie.

'''MIKE:''' That's a good song.

'''MATT:''' Thanks.

''{Pause}''

'''MIKE:''' So this, obviously, was, uh, pretty fun to make where you could just kinda put stuff wherever and just...

'''MATT:''' It's more like ''your'' computer is getting the virus than Strong Bad's computer getting the virus.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. The whole world is getting the virus.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. "Stave it off, 1, 2, 3" up there at the top.

'''MIKE:''' Mm hmm. There's uh, Strong Sad's head is the, uh, his little emoticons from the uh, his—

'''MATT:''' Strong Sad's Web journal.

'''MIKE:''' Strong Sad Journal.

'''MATT:''' That was from an unused character page we never made.

'''MIKE:''' Mm hmm.

''{Pause}''

'''MIKE:''' Say something good, Matt.

'''MATT:''' Uh—

'''MIKE:''' Make it— Make it funny.

'''MATT:''' All right. ''{adopts different tone}'' T— To— ''{normal voice}'' Oh, yeah, weren't we gonna do— I was going to be a character when we did this commentary.

'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah. Start doing Homestar.

'''MATT:''' All right...

''{Pause}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' That was a lot of me's.

'''MIKE:''' That ''was'' a lot of you's.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Mike, some of them were old me's that don't look so great.

'''MIKE:''' That's right. I thought you looked pretty good back in the old days.

'''HOMESTAR:''' No, no.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, you—

'''HOMESTAR:''' Look bad.

'''MIKE:''' Look Bad!

'''HOMESTAR:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Strong Bad.

'''HOMESTAR:''' That's a different character.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Who was Look Bad again?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Oh, what are they doing there? Is he gonna eat that doo-doo shovel?

'''MIKE:''' No, I think was going to take a picture of it, maybe.

'''HOMESTAR:''' But he doesn't have a camera, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' But the camera was offscreen.

'''HOMESTAR:''' He's got a mustache.

'''MIKE:''' The camera was offscreen.

'''HOMESTAR:''' He clearly wanted... a doo-doo-stache.

'''MIKE:''' Who's that, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR:''' That looks kinda like Bubs, from Website. But I don't think so. Oh, look, it's ''Pitfall''.

'''MIKE:''' That did happen in ''Pitfall''.

'''HOMESTAR:''' If you flick the on and off switch a lot, you get a little floating Pitfall Harry through the trees!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, I like The Cheat's little sassy dance there, Homestar. Did you teach him that?

'''HOMESTAR:''' I did. Hands on hips!

'''MIKE:''' How'd you teach him that?

'''HOMESTAR:''' I said, "Hands on hips!"

'''MIKE:''' Look, there's your leg.

'''HOMESTAR:''' That is not my leg! That looks like a shotgun.

'''MIKE:''' Bu—

''{Pause}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' That shotgun looks dangerous, Mike. I don't agree with its appearance in this cartoon.

'''MIKE:''' You shouldn't play with shotguns, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR:''' I don't, man.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Good.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Did you learn that the hard way?

'''MIKE:''' No.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Penny Hardaway?

'''MIKE:''' I'm allowed to— I'm allowed to draw them, though. Drawing them's no problem.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Drawing them is bad.

'''MIKE:''' No, I think it's okay.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Here I come!

'''MIKE:''' See?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Look! I lost my leg!

'''MIKE:''' I know, that's— Bubs— Bubs has it there.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Strong Bad looks like he's a little delirious in this part.

'''MIKE:''' He's— He's sad. He's had a great loss. People sometimes act like this... when they're experiencing great losses.

'''HOMESTAR:''' But— Mike, a great loss sounds like a contradiction.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' I don't— I've never had any ''great'' losses.

'''MIKE:''' "Great"— "Great" meaning "large," not meaning—

'''HOMESTAR:''' All my losses are bad losses.

'''MIKE:''' You've never had a great loss?

'''HOMESTAR:''' Except maybe, some pounds. ''{Pause}'' He just really put a hole right through that thing, huh?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Didn't go through the wall, though.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Nope. ''{whispering}'' Let's get quiet.

'''MIKE:''' ''{whispering}'' Okay.

=== Fun Facts ===

* Matt says Strong Bad got a "wirus" and then calls this "the German pronunciation". This is because many native German speakers have difficulty distinguishing the "v" and "w" sounds in English and might thus say "wirus" instead of "virus".
* Homestar demonstrates his ignorance that he has [[Lack of Visible Arms|no visible hands or arms]].
* [[Wikipedia:Penny Hardaway|Penny Hardaway]] is a professional basketball player who has played guard for the [[Wikipedia:National Basketball Association|NBA]]'s Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns, and New York Knicks.
