'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey! I paid that pilmple-faced bill months ago! You gotta tell grody Blackhead-Flaced Janice from accounting to update her records! ''{clears screen}'' As for being famous and licensing stuff, you've got it all wrong. You don't need to be famous to liscense stuff. Just look at Biscuitdoughhandsman. He licensed his likeness to a paper towel company—

''{Cut to shot of paper towel roll with pictures of Biscuitdoughhandsman and Basil.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —years ago, but no one knows who the crap he is.

'''OLD LADY:''' Get this, Vira, it's exorbitantly absorbent!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up, lady! ''{cut back to Lappy}'' No, the true sign of being famous is in the ''unlicensed'' stuff! And we're all over that! In fact, we've got our own application process for becoming an officially licensed ''unlicensed'' seller of Strong Bad and The Cheat knock-offs.

''{An application form flies onto the screen with the header "So you wanna be an officially licensed unlicensed seller of Strong Bad & The Cheat knock-offs" and entries for "Name", "Number", and "I'll get back to you".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The main requirements are that the country of manufacture has—

''{"Country of manufacture" page comes up with a county-like shape in the middle. Names keep appearing and being crossed out.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —changed name five times since I was in seventh grade, that you sell your wares from a—

''{"Type of Store" page comes up, with a note "(Circle one)".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —blanket, ''{a "Dirty Blanket" appears and watches fill it}'' or inside a trench coat, ''{A "Dirty Trenchcoat" appears and watches fill it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' that you always refer to the selling of our items—

''{"You gotta yell this" page comes up, with a cartoony figure of a man and a table with 4 watches}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —as "numba one bargain!", ''{the phrase appears in a speech bubble}'' and that—

''{The Two Guys" page comes up with pictures of Strong Bad and The Cheat}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —one of us has to have a human nose.

''{Noses appear on both. Cut back to the Lappy with a clear screen.}''

Alcnolien: Coppin' a feel?

== Is the KOT Very Own Show a reference to Butter's Own Episode on South Park ==

Just a comment about the thoughts I had before realizing it was a sbemail instead of a KOT short!
~OptimumCoder
:I don't think it was an intentional reference, as the Brothers Chaps claim they don't watch South Park, and definitely not to that episode (the fact that it's his very own episode is a little too broad), but it is remarkable similar to the infamous Terrance and Phillip episode. They were running a 2-part episode, and rather than showing the second part of it, since the airdate fell on April Fools, they showed a completely unrelated episode. I was thinking of adding this to the references. As long as it's clear that it probably isn't intentional, I think it would fit. And complaints, before I add it? [[User:Evan|Evan]]
::No, this thing is totally a parady of ''Butter's Own Episode''. The opening music is nearly an exact match. --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 00:30, 3 May 2006 (PDT)
:::If someone could get a screenshot from Butters own Episode that would be helpful.
::::I have the episode on my compy, matter o' fact. The "Everyone Knows It's Butters!" part sounds SORTA like the KoT chime, but if the song was a little longer and described how the KoT thinks being your self is the best thing around, then MAYBE I would agree. :P I still insist that it's more like the Terrance and Phillip gag as mentioned.

::::EDIT: Hope it's okay, but I uploaded the song from the Butters episode. http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Image:Butterssong.ogg Whaddya think? I still insist that it's a little vague. [[User:Evan|Evan]]

==Almond paste filled sweet delight==
I think Strong Bad is talking about Marzipan here... you know, the real type.--[[User:Dwedit|Dwedit]] 16:23, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

:From Wikipedia: "Marzipan is a confectionery consisting primarily of ground almonds and sugar that derives its characteristic flavor from bitter almonds, which constitute 4% to 6% of total almond content by weight." Sounds reasonable to me. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 16:24, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

::I like it. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:01, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
:::OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH... I get it now. That fact was extremely poorly worded, hence my removal of it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:29, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

::::So, right now the FF ends with "The comment is clearly directed at the character Marzipan." What about Coach Z and Strong Sad (and the band)? The comment ''may'' be directed only at Marzipan (and this would coincide with the reference to the confection), but I don't agree that it's clear that he's only talking to Marzipan. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 02:17, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

== The poopsmith speaketh!? ==

Did the poopsmith really just speak in this email? The voice sounds exactly like the poopsmith's in different town, but the poopsmith is shown shrugging afterwards like that wasn't his voice. I'd like to say that he didn't, but I'm not too sure about it. What are your opinions? - Wevegottapulse

:I think it was him. Who else could it be? It sounded like he was about to lead the band into that "Oh Yeah" song from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:00, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
::Reply to Trey: Totally different "Ohhh Yeah", actually. The one in this email is higher-pitched and was pretty common to hear in this kind of music. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:21, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
::There's certainly enough suggestion there (that this was The Poopsmith). Might I also point out that this was done in the same voice as the "Hello!" in [[different town]].
::THEN AGAIN! That was in Strong Bad's imagination. Do we have proof that this scene was NOT in Strong Bad's imagination? Did this senior prom actually happen? If not, having The Poopsmith speak here might not be as unusual as it would be if this senior prom really did happen. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 17:23, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
:::I personally think its safe to assume this email wasn't in Strong Bad's imagination. With how Strong Bad actually got The Cheat and Strong Mad to help him and all. (If it was, then we really can't trust anything that happens in H*R ever again. >.> ) - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 18:17, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
::::Fair enough. :) Since we can't absolutely prove it was The Poopsmith who said "Ohhh yeah!", there's a Fun Fact there that ties this occurrence together with [[different town]]. I believe that should suffice. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:21, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
:::::Everyone thought it was him, but Mr. Smith shook his head and shrugged, as if to say, "It wasn't me! I don't know who that was!"[[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]] 19:32, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
::::::Did the Oh Yeah remind anyone else of the Kool-Aid Man's catchphrase? Before the Poopsmith was shown I thought that was who was speaking. Don't know if it's good enough to be a Real Life reference. [[User:Crystallina|Crystallina]] 20:44, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
:::::::Now that you mention it, it does remind me of that! That would've been a perfect end to the email—the Kool-Aid Man busting through the concrete wall with his famous catchphrase; everyone staring at him agape as he sheepishly retreats a few moments later. With only the phrase though, it's probably a coincidence. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:40, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
::::::::Yes, it makes no sense as a reference. No one crashed through a wall. And they already had a refreshing punch available. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:44, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

There's no solid proof that it was the Poopsmith.
:Yes, that has been pointed out. Nobody is claiming that it definitely ''was'' the Poopsmith in this case. We're acknowledging that it was "very strongly suggested", but the whole point of the joke is that we didn't see it happen. So there's still some ambiguity there. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 23:36, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps the voice was ventriloquism performed by David Coppafeel. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:52, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

== More than two prom...blems? ==

Current Fun Fact:

*Marzipan's comment "...every freakin' year...." implies that she has attended the senior prom more than once. Because it is typically the final dance in high school, most people only attend the senior prom once.

I edited this from another version that said "it seems implausible that she would have attended it more than once". I beg to differ: There are a few reasons why she could have. (1) She could have gotten held back and repeated <s>the third grade</s> her senior year multiple times. (2) She could have gone with Homestar in previous years (and he'd probably be more likely to get held back). And (3) She could have served some other purpose in previous years.

My point is, I don't think we have enough to go on to say why she'd be at the prom multiple years. But a lot of cartoons and comics run on the implication that the characters never age, and they repeat the same years of their lives each year (a 365-day version of Groundhog Day, or something). That seems plausible in the HR Universe as well. Thus, I think the Fun Fact should kinda gloss over the "implausibilities" and relate Marzipan's comment to the way it is in real life.

[[the show|And for the block, do you agree?]] {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 17:55, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
: I agree. Also, Marzipan could have simply ''heard'' that pantless-Strong Bad won Prom Queen multiple years in a row or whatever happened. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:57, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

It makes more sense to me that they just all go to a senior prom every year. [[User:130.127.84.204|130.127.84.204]] 18:03, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Doesn't Marzipan's initial " as always, we're the only couple at the prom" comment lend further credence to the whole multiple prom hypothesis? [[User:85.65.116.80|85.65.116.80]] 00:20, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

The thing is some schools let any students go to the prom. --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 00:33, 3 May 2006 (PDT)

== Everybody everybody! Longest pants! ==

I would suggest that there definitely needs to be a reference regarding the ongoing pants/no-pants debate regarding Coach Z and Homestar. This seems to put the nail in the coffin that there are, in fact, no pants going on with either of them. Although (he realizes) it could also be argued that Coach Z wears a body suit, which doesn't technically have any stand-alone pants, which still leaves the door open for his "green-body/green body suit" ambiguity. (PS: Stand Alone Pants would be a great name for a rock band.)
:There's a reference to [[Homestar's Pants]] already on the page. That's where the debate is most fully explained. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:42, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

::Whether or not this is proof Homestar doesn't wear pants should be put up for a vote me thinks. The obvious argument for would be the fact that his pants didn't poof away at all and his discussion with pompom during the easteregg seemed to imply he was covering. The arguments against could be that Strong Bads remote malfunctioned, or perhaps Homestar wears pants that look exactly like his legs!

:::I like the "Maybe Homestar's pants look exactly like his legs" line of thinking. Another thought on Coach Z: how can one reliably say that he "puked his pants" and then have no pants disappear? On a personal note, two years ago, before finding this site, I never thought I would be this concerned about the existence of a cartoon character's pants.

::::For general [[Pants]], see [[Pants]]. (Would General Pants be a good name for a Cheat Commando?) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:18, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
::::Better than "Firebert."
:::::Well, the fact that we didn't hear a poof or see a poof is enough evedince for me that Homestar is pantsless and not a long pants man.

::::::Right, it seems like Homestar is the only one around who seems convinced that he wears pants. Coach Z is still a bit of an issue, in my mind. As far as the [[Pants]] page is concerned, that's less an informational resource on the evidence for and against the various characters' pantsitudinal condition and more of a link to all the cartoons where someone simply mentions the word "pants." Since this is such a long-standing gag, it would be nice to see it expanded.

:::::::Every time recently that Homestar's pants have been mentioned, TBC present both sides, first suggesting one thing and then the other. (The same is true for Homestar's arms.) It is ''intentionally'' ambiguous. I wouldn't be surprised if TBC didn't even know the true nature of things. He's drawn that way just because it looks right to them. Trying to assert that he actually does or doesn't have pants (or, sheesh, ''voting here'' on the matter) would be futile. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:47, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

== Thank Goodness! ==

I'ma just glad Strong Bad wore undawears this day. Thank you, thank you. Back to where I was! {{User:Homfrog/sig}} 18:30, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah. I actually didn't realise that Strong Bad was the only one in the group that wears pants until now. Maybe Bubs too, but he wasn't in the shot. I can't imagine how Bubs would look pantsless.--[[User:That crazy DumDe!|DumDe]] 18:39, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
: There's something I'd prefer not to think about... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:41, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

==Hey, ummm, everybody?==

This wasn't really the senior prom. It all happens in the present, and evrybody was probably preforming for Strong Bad's little idea thing.
:See Joshua's comment above, about whether it was in SB's imagination or not. If it wasn't a canonical occurence, then we really can't trust anything that happens on H*R.com again. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 19:17, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

::Further more, why would everyone play this out for Strong Bad. Obviously, Marzipan wouldn't do anything for Strong Bad
:::She played Cutesy Buttons. [[User:Evan|Evan]]

:::Obviously they're playing their roles in 'Strong Bads Quite popular cartoon show' which is why he threw together that over-the-top opening scene with the "answering machine"

== All the Kingsmen ==

I know the band's name All the King's Men is more than likely a reference to the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty (which remarkably isn't in RWR). But it could also be a reference to the rock band "The Kingsmen", famous for their cover of "Louie Louie". [[User:Swimma Dan|Swimma Dan]] 20:00, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
*It sounds plausible to me - sort of like Before and After Puzzles on Wheel of Fortune. It would fit the situation, since that seems to be the cover band type. Do I detect a double meaning? {{User:SBLOUNSKCHED!/sig}} 20:22, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

== Delilelia, you got me on my knees ==

What is up with the "Delilelia" easter egg? -[[User:Shnizzedy|Johnny Baby]] 20:58, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
*Since we missed the beginning of the email, that part's recapping what we missed. So we still have an email song and all that. {{User:SBLOUNSKCHED!/sig}} 21:07, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

== Jumping the Shark ==

Anyone else think that the way SB pronounced "Copperfield" was...ahem...risque?
Alex H.
:That was Marzipan, and someone says that ''every single frikking time'' someone in the 'toons mentions something even remotely sexual. People said the same thing when Strong Bad mentioned naked women in [[secret identity]], for instance. And it's no worse than [[3 Times Halloween Funjob|somebody a-gwabbin' Homestar's butt]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:44, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
::I'd like to see "Jumping the Shark" make its permanent home on the forums, personally. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:51, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
:::I'd be willing to make a complainery type topic about this, if someone else would help find all the refs ([[Commandos in the Classroom]] comes to mind, but I dunno what else). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Astro-Sad ==

Would this be an inside refrence that Strong Sad was dressed as an astronaut in the sketch book?

:No, he was dressed as an astronaut because that was the prom theme. Everybody else was either too cool or too stupid to dress up though. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:03, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
::I do think it's significant that Strong Sadonaut appeared in the Sketchbook prior to this cartoon, though. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 23:14, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

== Boxers or Briefs ==

The fun fact about SB saying he never wears underwear could still be true...some people consider "underwear" to mean briefs, but boxers as something else.

== Little Robot On Mars ==

Is that a refference to the "explorer" or whatever the heck that Mars Rover is called? You know the one we sent to mars to take pictures of the surface and its all the time getting stuck on rocks and crap?
: We're one step ahead of you: check Real-World References on the main page. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:21, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

== David Copperfield ==

It seems more likely that the reference to ''David Copperfield'' is from the [http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Copperfield_%28novel%29 very famous book] by Dickens than the illusionist. Certainly, the latter probably takes his name from the former (though it could be a coincidence) so unless there is a specific reason why it would be the illusionist over the book, it seems like the reference should be cataloged as being to the book and not the person (or, at least, both the book and the person). --[[User:Sailor titan|Sailor titan]] 06:35, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

:While I agree that the book is more famous than the illusionist, I'd imagine it would be hard for Strong Bad to take Delilelia to see [[Wikipedia:David Copperfield (novel)|David Copperfield the novel]] perform. [[Wikipedia:David Copperfield (illusionist)|David Copperfield the illusionist]] is more of a performer. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 06:43, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

== Old Folks Cafeteria ==

Could the "All You Can Eat Old Folks' Cafeteria" refer to Hometown Buffet or some similar establishment? {{User:Bassbone/sig}} 08:38, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

::Apparently not as clearly as you think--because I have no idea what you're talking about ^^;;; what is the "Hometown Buffet"? Mayhaps this is some kind of regional custom/establishment that we don't have here in the northeast? --[[User:Sailor titan|Sailor titan]] 16:12, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

== KOT's Cartoon Show ==
Was anyone else disappointed when the KOTs cartoon show was interrupted for the Strong Bad e-mail? I was like "Hey a KOT cartoon? YES! There hasn't been one since 'The King of Town DVD'" Then I was like "awwwwe man!" when it was interrupted. I had high hopes, I always like to see the so-called reject characters (KOT, Strong Sad, Homsar) get together once in awhile. Though don't get me wrong I had worries E-mail #150 would be the last. Worries which were finally put to rest. Thank god.
:I was as well. Personally, I think the KOT is always consistently funny -- "Butter-da" and "stuffinged ham" still cracks me up -- and I went through the same emotional cycle as thee. "Cool! Aww..." And since I didn't think this was a particularly strong SBemail, it made for a double dose of disappointment. It's a shame the KOT keeps getting dumped on as being unpopular. He's got a hell of a lot more humor potential than the Poopsmith.

== Back to the Future? ==

== Who is David Coppafeel? ==

I wonder who was responsible for violating Marzipan. I'm guessing Strong Mad, for the following reasons: (1) he was standing next to Marzipan with his hands up when the lights came back on, (2) he has been known to [[:Image:Mysfit-steries.PNG|violate Marzipan]] in the past (though this was later fixed by TBC), and (3) he's stupid/clumsy enough that it could have been an accident. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 17:53, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
:Just in case it's Homestar, it has been noted on [[Lack of Visible Arms]] (with some wording that indicates it might not be notable). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:16, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

== Mars rover ==

== Coppin' a feel? ==

Is it possible that someone "a-Grabbin' mah butt" as homestar aptly put it, or "David Coppafeel"...ing... as marzipan put it a recurring joke of some kind? They both happened after the lights go out in an unexplicable manner, and, to my knowledge, these are the only two instances of blackouts Throughout the site.

Dear Strong Bad, 
I was wondering did you ever have a senior prom. 
If so, what was it like? 
Matt M. WA
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "walrus association" for WA.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man! Would you Walrus Association people please leave me alone? I will pay my dues when you send me my tusks! ''{clears screen}'' Anyways, I have personally never had a senior prom, Matt. I have, however, ''crashed'' my fair share of Senior Proms, Senor Proms, Homecoming Dances, Shortcoming Prances, and Off-Site Team-Building Pottery Classes. But the best Senior Prom I ever crashed was the 'Entrapment All Up On the Moon' Dance. It all started one day, when I received some very disappointing news...

''{Cuts to the Floppy Disk Container side of the computer desk with Strong Mad and The Cheat. A cassette tape sits on top of an alarm clock. The message 'an answering machine (trust me)' is taped to the alarm clock.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' Oh man you guys... I'm totally bummed. Listen to this message I just gooot.

''{Cut to a closeup of the alarm clock. Strong Bad is partially visible on the left, holding one of his boxing gloves up to his mouth and looking away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a high-pitched voice}'' Hey.. Bunmuffin... It's Deli..lelia. They need me to go back up to Mars to help out that robot that got stuck in the sand. So I won't be able to go to the dance with you.

''{Cut back to the group shot. Strong Mad and The Cheat look annoyed, and The Cheat's arms are folded.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still in fake voice}'' I left you some cold meatloaf under the fridge. ''{voice returns to normal, but he continues to feign disappointment}'' Ooh..

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' That little robot stuck in the sand ''again!'' I guess I don't have a date for the dance.

''{Cut back to group shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{speaking normally}'' Oh well... Looks like you two losers ''{Strong Mad looks shocked and then angry}'' and me one cool guy will just have to crash the everlovin' style out of it! Now listen close to my masterdly plan!

''{Fade to black, then cut to and zoom in on [[All the King's Men|All the King's Men]]'s bass drum, then fade to the band on stage. Cut to a banner reading "Entrapment All Up On the Moon", then pan down to Homestar and Marzipan dancing on the gym floor. Homestar is wearing a tuxedo and a black propeller cap, and Marzipan is wearing a red formal dress.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... Don't look now Marzipan, but I think we're the hottest couple at the prom.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, as always, we're the only couple at the prom.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But what about Strong Sad and Deborah?

'''MARZIPAN:''' That is unmistakably Coach Z.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Who?

''{Cut to the drink table where Coach Z is pouring Listerine into the punch. Coach Z is wearing a [http://m-w.com/dictionary/dickey dickey] and bow tie and Strong Sad is wearing a space suit.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z... You oughta be ashamed of yourself.

''{Coach Z fumbles and drops the Listerine.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' You're supposed to be our chaperon ''{says with a French accent while waving his hand}''

'''COACH Z:''' Are you kiddin'!? I'm just lookin' out for all yer hygienes. Have ya ever talked to one of these kids up close!? Their breath is TERBERILE!

''{Someone turns off the light, plunging the scene into pitch darkness. There is a thud sound and a record scratch. Everyone at the prom gasps.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey! Watch those hands David Coppafeel!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah! David!

''{The lights turn back on, revealing Strong Bad, The Cheat and Strong Mad in the center separating Homestar Runner and Marzipan. Homestar continues to dance while Strong Bad speaks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right, senior citizens! This prom is officially crashed! Now peep my masterdly plan! I rigged up this button—

''{Cuts to a close up of Strong Bad's hand, which is holding a remote control with a big red button labeled "GO!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —so that when I mash go on it, everybody's pants will POOF AWAY! It's a mass pantsing, see?

''{He presses the button and a buzzer sounds.}''

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

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

''{With dramatic music, the scene quickly cuts to the pants area of Marzipan, then Coach Z, and then really quickly Homestar Runner, Strong Sad, The Poopsmith, The Blacksmith, The Knight, Strong Mad, The Cheat, before finally stopping on Strong Bad. The camera scrolls up from Strong Bad's pants to his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You gotta be kiddin' me!? I'm the only one that wears any pants?

''{Strong Bad's pants poof away, showing white boxers with lipstick kisses on them.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And now to announce your Prom King and Queen! This year's Prom King is... Pom Pom ''{applause}''

''{Cut to an area of the gymnasium that features the banner and cut-out forms of Nebulon and The Moon.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{spoken words appear onscreen}'' Accepting the award for Pom Pom is Homestar Runner because Pom Pom's at a much cooler private school prom.

''{Homestar walks out wearing a crown and then takes a swig of Listerine and starts gargling, sounding exactly like Pom Pom.}''

''{Cut back to Homestar. Pant-less Strong Bad walks in from the left wearing a tiara and holding seven roses.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh thank you so much! ''{applause}'' You people are a sweet delight! Just one big almond paste filled sweet delight!

''{Homestar leans forward, kicking his foot backwards. Cut back to an angry Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Every freakin' year. ''{blows one of her bangs out of her face}''

'''VOICE FROM OFFSCREEN:''' Ohhhh, yeah!

''{Marzipan looks surprised, it then cuts to the rest of the gym, who all gasp. Then it cuts to The Poopsmith who shakes his head and shrugs his shoulders. Cut back to Strong Bad at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And the best part is that I got a twenty dollar gift certificate to the All-You-Can-Eat Old Folks' Cafeteria. Man, I ate my weight in creamed fish and okratinis. Alright, I gotta get outta here. I'm taking Delilelia to see David Coppafeel perform. ''{gets up and leaves}''

''{Cut to a shot of the whole computer desk with Strong Bad standing to the side.}''

:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well maybe I will keep telling myself that!

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}

===Explanations===
*In the [[Wikipedia:United States|United States]], a senior [[Wikipedia:Prom|prom]] is a formal dance held at the end of the final year of high school (around the time of year that this email was produced). Musical entertainment, refreshments, and adult [[Wikipedia:Chaperon|chaperons]] are often present at these events.

===Trivia===

*The filename for the SWF file is the expected "sbemail151", but the HTML file is "kotpoptoon".
**The email was announced on the main page as a new toon as a prank; when it was released the message button read "king of town toon!"
*This is the first time we see The Cheat with his arms folded.
*The [[Floppy Disk Container|Floppy Disk Container]] says ''[[Floppy Disk Container#broderbund classics|broderbund classics]]''.
*This is the first time The Blacksmith has appeared in any Homestar Runner cartoon since his debut in [[The King of Town DVD]].

===Goofs===

*When Homestar keeps his eyes shut while standing next to de-pantsed Strong Bad, his regular pair of blinking eyes appears every few seconds beneath his already closed lids.

===Remarks===

*Strong Bad is wearing boxer shorts when his pants poof off. However, in [[New Boots]], he claims he doesn't wear "[[Underwear|underwears]]."
*Since an okratini is a drink, Strong Bad could not have ''eaten'' his weight in them.
*When Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat arrive at the prom, Homestar doesn't stop dancing, even though he and Marzipan have been separated.
*When Strong Bad addresses the audience and compares them to an almond-paste-filled sweet delight, he is describing the real confection of [[Wikipedia:Marzipan|marzipan]]. The comment is clearly directed at the character Marzipan.
*Although it was stated in [[highschool]] that all the characters looked different in high school, all the characters appear as they would normally. This may be due to Strong Bad's "doodle memory", though it may also be, considering their ages are neither implied nor said out, that they are still "in" high school.

===Inside References===

*The lipstick pattern on Strong Bad's shorts is the same as the one in [[video games]].
*"Senor proms" is a reference to the common [[Senor|mispronunciation]] of Señor, and is further highlighted by the Senor Cardgage Easter egg.
*Coach Z was previously seen drinking Listerine in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]].
**In this email, he makes a [[Concoctions|concoction]] by spiking the punch with Listerine.
*The Moon on the banner first appeared in [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]].
*The fictitious message from Delilelia would seem to explain why the formerly unnamed girl left Strong Bad, as mentioned in his [[autobiography]].
*This email makes reference to [[Robots|robots]], [[Homestar's Pants]], and [[Pants|pants]] in general.
*"Mashing go/play" on something is seen in [[Everybody Knows It]], [[flashback]], [[alternate universe]], and the introduction to [[strongbad_email.exe_Disc_One|Disc One]] of [[strongbad_email.exe]]
*The name of the dance is "Entrapment [[All up ons|All Up On]] the Moon".
*While it isn't completely proven that "Ohhh Yeah" was spoken by The Poopsmith, the same voice was used in [[different town]] to demonstrate what he would sound like.

===Real-World References===

*[[Wikipedia:David Copperfield (illusionist)|David Copperfield]] is a popular illusionist.
*The "Entrapment All Up On the Moon" dance and the outfits worn by the band are references to the "Enchantment Under the Sea Dance" from the [[Wikipedia:Back to the Future|Back to the Future]] movie trilogy.
*The phrase "Koo koo ka-choo" on the business card in the Easter egg refers to the song [[Wikipedia:I Am the Walrus|I Am the Walrus]] by [[Wikipedia:The Beatles|The Beatles]]. This is a common [[Wikipedia:mondegreen|mondegreen]]. The actual phrase from the song is "Goo Goo Ga Joob".
*An "[http://listserv.linguistlist.org/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0308c&L=ads-l&D=1&F=&S=&P=6102 okratini]" is a martini served with a pickled [[Wikipedia:Okra|okra]] pod instead of an olive.
*[[Wikipedia:Listerine|Listerine]] is an antiseptic mouthwash that contains alcohol.
*The "robot on Mars that got stuck in the sand again" is a reference to the Mars Rover [http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/spotlight/20051212.html Opportunity], which got stuck in a sand ripple on April 26, 2005.
*Strong Bad's remark, "It's a mass pantsing, see?" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Edward G. Robinson|Edward G. Robinson]] in the movie [[Wikipedia:Little Caesar|Little Caesar]]. Robinson's character, Rico, often ended his sentences in this way.
*''[[All the King's Men!]]'' is most likely a reference to the fairy tale [[Wikipedia:Humpty Dumpty|Humpty Dumpty]].

*The [[Floppy Disk Container|Floppy Disk Container]] says ''[[Floppy Disk Container#broderbund classics|broderbund classics]]''.
*This is the first time The Blacksmith has appeared in any Homestar Runner cartoon since his debut in [[The King of Town DVD]].

===Goofs===

*When Homestar keeps his eyes shut while standing next to de-pantsed Strong Bad, his regular pair of blinking eyes appears every few seconds beneath his already closed lids.

===Remarks===

*Strong Bad is wearing boxer shorts when his pants poof off. However, in [[New Boots]], he claims he doesn't wear "[[Underwear|underwears]]."
*Since an okratini is a drink, Strong Bad could not have ''eaten'' his weight in them.
*When Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat arrive at the prom, Homestar doesn't stop dancing, even though he and Marzipan have been separated.
*When Strong Bad addresses the audience and compares them to an almond-paste-filled sweet delight, he is describing the real confection of [[Wikipedia:Marzipan|marzipan]]. The comment is clearly directed at the character Marzipan.
*Although it was stated in [[highschool]] that all the characters looked different in high school, all the characters appear as they would normally. This may be due to Strong Bad's "doodle memory", though it may also be, considering their ages are neither implied nor said out, that they are still "in" high school.

==Transcript==

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing over guitar music}'' I've been walking on clouds and flipping off rainbows on the wiiiiings of an emaiiil...

''{Cut to a wide view of the desk. Strong Sad is standing to the right of Strong Bad with a classical guitar. Strong Bad turns to face him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, man.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No prob, Bob.

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

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: alternate univer$e</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
Got some ?'s for you: 
1. What would you do with a hundred million dollars? 
2. What would you do if you suddenly found yourself in an alternate universe somehow? 
Jody (not a girl), TX
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "question marks" for "?'s", "Number one" and "Number two" for "1." and "2.", and "Texas" for "TX".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{says everything inside parentheses normally}'' Ya know, you could probably ditch that (not a girl) thing, if you just replaced it with something tough and cool and kool and tuff. Like (Bulldozer). Jody (Bulldozer). Nobody's gonna think that guy's a girl. ''{clears screen}'' Well Ms. Dozer, you pretty much answered question mark #1 ''{read "number one"}'' with question mark #2 ''{read "number two"}''. Cuz a hundred million dollars is exactly how much The Cheat spent on our alternate universe portal.

''{Cut to a wide view of the desk. The Cheat is standing to the right of the Lappy with a blender. A Nintendo Game Boy is in the blender.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Isn't that right, The Cheat?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? This thing only cost us fourteen bucks?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{agreeing The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well... that's like a hundred million dollars in... dog years, right?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{affirmative The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leans towards The Cheat suddenly}'' Alright! Mash go on that blender!

''{Camera zooms out a little as The Cheat presses a button on the blender, which causes it to activate. The blender shoots out white bolts as the lighting in the room flashes. Soon after, the blender stops with the Game Boy intact, and there is a large swirl to the right of the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh-ho-ho! Swirly Photoshopped magic! I bet this thing could release some serious Cacodemons. So...

''{The Cheat turns to face Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? I-- I just jump in?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{leaning backwards}'' Ohbee Kaybee!

''{Strong Bad jumps off the stool and towards the swirl}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Jump!

''{As soon as Strong Bad touches the swirl, everything turns black and white with the exception of the swirl and Strong Bad, who distorts horizontally and vertically. He "springs" into the swirl. Cut to a panel of a comic strip. There is a picture of some buildings. At the top of the panel is a caption saying "IN A BULDING..."}''

'''NARRATOR:''' In a bulding-

''{Comic shifts left, next panel is an empty room. Strong Bad appears, with "VOIP!" appearing next to him briefly. Everything Strong Bad says while in the comic appears next to him in a speech bubble.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Where am I?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in an action pose on a yellow background. Everything he says is not lip-synced and also appears in a speech bubble.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' STINY! ''{"Stiny!" is in large red text}'' We have a visitor from an alternate universe!

''{Next panel. Strong Bad is in the same room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking to the right}'' It's Strong Badman! And his well drawn abs! ''{looks to the left}'' But... why are we in a crappy apartment instead of a secret underground lair... ''{looks back to the right}'' ...filled with secret underground gadgets?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman's upper body and head is in front of a blue background.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' Because mere mortal... this apartment...

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in front of a red background with his arms in the air.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{speech bubble is large, yellow and pointy}'' ...is rent controlled! ''{next speech bubbles are regular}'' And... water's included.

''{Next panel. There is a kitchen sink and a bathroom sink visible. The bathroom tap has a "FROSH!" next to it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Is that why all your faucets are running?

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is standing in a room.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{each syllable appears individually in red text and is not in a speech bubble}'' Mu-hu-ha-ha-hah! ''{regular speech bubble and text}'' Those dimwits down at the public works won't know what hit them!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{walking in from left}'' So, that's your evil plan? To waste water?

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' And not pay for it!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I gotta tell ya, Strong Badman... this part of your comic is pretty boring. I'm gonna see what's going on further down the page. ''{Strong Bad jumps out of the current panel)'' Jump! ''(falls down three panels. There is a woman with a Big Knife sitting on a giant robotic snake.}'' Oh! Now we're talkin'!

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in the left of the panel, Strong Bad in the center, and there is a TV with the previous panel on it (minus Strong Bad) to the right.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' You're not kidding!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wha?

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' Now we have expanded basic cable...

''{Next panel. Close-up of the wall. There is a hole in it, and there is a cable running through the hole.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' ''{offscreen}'' Stolen from my neighbor!

''{Next panel. Strong Bad is in front of a yellow background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Who's writing this issue? The geniuses behind She-Hulk? ''{looks up}'' The Cheat? ''{Cut back to the Computer Room. Strong Bad's voice is slightly distorted. A speech bubble is coming out of the swirl.}'' A little frappe action, if you please.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Single "squeak"}''

''{The Cheat Turns around and pushes a button on the blender, which activates it. Cut back to the previous comic panel. Strong Bad disappears with the same "VOIP!" from when he appeared.}''

''{Next panel. Strong Badman is in the same pose as when he first appeared.}''

'''STRONG BADMAN:''' STINY! ''{"Stiny!" is in large red text}'' Keep flushing those toilets!

''{Cut to an Old-Timey scene. Old-Timey Strong Bad is standing on a stage with curtains behind him. To the left of him there is a sign saying "STRONG BAD and his GOODE-TIME PARLOR TRICKS". There is a silhouetted audience visible.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes, and for my next parlor trick, I shan't make anything ''{faces left}'' appear!

''{Strong Bad appears to the left of Old-Timey Strong Bad. He is still in color.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. H-hi.

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' ''{crowd starts booing}'' You brightly colored baboon! You ruined my vaudeville!

''{The Homestar Runner's dance music plays as tomatoes are thrown at the two Strong Bads.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah! Shades of grey tomatoes! ''{Strong Bad disappears as Old-Timey Strong Bad looks to the left.}''

''{Cut to Vector Strong Bad floating above a vector drawn field. Strong Bad appears to the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What is up, my enormous vector brother?

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{As he speaks, his words come out of his mouth in red vector-style text. They disappear after a short while.}'' HELLOTE.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, uh... ''{cut to close-up of Strong Bad's head}'' what do you do for fun around here? ''{cut back to previous view}''

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' I SPLO STUFF UP. ''{Strong Bad jumps backwards slightly to avoid the "up", which promptly explodes with vector graphics.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, that's pretty cool.

''{Stinkoman walks in from the left.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Hey, guys! How's challenges?

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' WHAT IT IS MY DOGE?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, you two know each other?

''{Cut to close-up of Stinkoman's head}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Oh, totally sure! ''{leans forward and waves one of his arms}'' He's my training simulator! ''{Cut back to previous view.}'' Check it out!

''{Vector Strong Bad starts moving left and right, shooting squares from his mouth, which Stinkoman jumps around to dodge. Strong Bad follows suit shortly after. After a few seconds, they all stop.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Nice work, big nose!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Big nose?

'''STINKOMAN:''' Your nose!

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD:''' LEVEL 2

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-oh.

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Uh-oh.

''{Stinkoman silently laughs as Vector Strong Bad shoots a series of squares directly at Strong Bad. As they explode, Strong Bad disappears. Vector Strong Bad then shoots some squares at Stinkoman, which he dodges.}''

''{Cut to a field in the style of [[flashback]]. Tiny Handed Strong Bad is standing close to the camera. Strong Bad appears to the right. All text appears in a white rectangle near the bottom of the screen.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' And so, ''{Strong Bad starts looking around}'' both Strong Bads entered the 'Dig To China With Your Ears Contest.'

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is just about... the second or third to worst contest I ever heard of.

''{Cut to a silhouetted view of the field. Pom Pom, Strong Mad, Coach Z, Bubs and Marzipan are standing to the right of a banner which reads "the contest began!!". Tiny Handed Strong Bad is underneath the banner.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' The contest began!

''{Cut to a close-up of Tiny Handed Strong Bad rubbing his head on the ground near a line marked "start".}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' And tiny-handed Strong Bad rubbed his head on the ground... ''{cut to a wide view; Strong Bad is sitting on a hammock with his [[Dangeresque]] sunglasses on.}'' while our Modern Day Hero maxed and relaxed.

''{Cut to Tiny Handed Strong Bad standing near the camera again, as in the first shot. A hole is visible near the background, and a giant glass of root beer appears in the center.}''

'''TINY HANDED STRONG BAD:''' I struck it rich!

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Said T.H.S.B.

''{Cut to a zoomed out view of the previous scene, but with the giant glass of root beer in the center. A bee is seen holding Strong Bad's hammock up.}''

'''TINY HANDED STRONG BAD:''' A giant mug of frosty root beer!

''{Old-Timey Strong Bad appears to the left. Tiny Handed Strong Bad looks at him.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Zounds! A sarsparilla swimming hole! Last one in's a freemason!

''{Old-Timey Strong Bad half runs towards the root beer and jumps in)''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Jump! ''

''{Strong Bad disappears. Keyboard Strong Bad appears at the bottom left of the screen and plays a tune and dances.}''

''{Cut to a screen in the style of Puppet Stuff. Puppet Strong Bad is standing in front of the Strong Badia fence. The Tire and Sign are visible. Strong Bad appears to the right. Music starts playing and both Strong Bads dance in sync with each other.}''

''{Strong Bad disappears. Cut to where "Da Huuuuuudge" is kept. Strong Bad appears lying down on top of it. He slowly slides down, then disappears.}''

''{Cut to the abandoned factory from [[highschool]]. Teenage Strong Bad is standing to the right. Strong Bad appears to the left.}''

'''TEENAGE STRONG BAD:''' Striped ''{pronounced as "stripe-ed"}'' pants.

''{Strong Bad disappears. Cut to a swirling nothingness of changing colours.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat! Cool out on the liquefy button, man!

''{Cut to a zoomed up view of Homestar standing next to the blender in the Computer Room, which now has a green substance inside it, as well as the Game Boy. On the desk is one and a half avocados, and a jar reading "Total Load". Homestar is pressing the buttons on the blender.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm trying to make me a real fruit smoothie here!

''{Cut to a zoomed out version of the Computer Room. Tiny Handed Strong Bad is standing to the left, with Senor Cardgage, Old-Timey Strong Bad and Da Huuuuuudge to the right.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Any of you guys got any bee pollen?

''{As Homestar presses another button, Strong Bad appears next to the swirl, along with Strong Badman appearing to the left of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar! Quit messing with my alternate universe portal!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm trying to replenish some electrolytes, if you don't mind!

''{Homestar presses a button on the blender, which makes him and the swirl disappear. Sterrance appears on the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looking around}'' Wow. Just look at all these Strong Bad-related faces. What an all-star cast! What say we all form a super group and record a number one jam! ''{moans are heard from the Strong Bads, although they all remain perfectly still except for Old-Timey Strong Bad}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' I guess...

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' If we must.

''{The screen fades to black, and then cuts to Strong Bad in a recording studio. Some music starts playing, and continues through the rest of the e-mail.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' There's a crazy world of e-mails in this crazy world. ''{Cut to a reversed view of Strong Bad.}'' Checkin' 'em down, checkin' 'em down...

''{Cut to Stinkoman standing next to Strong Badman and Old-Timey Strong Bad.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' ''{singing}'' I hope it's from a girrrrrrrl!

''{Cut to a zoomed out view of the scene, revealing (from left to right), Stinkoman, Strong Badman, Old-Timey Strong Bad, Strong Bad, Vector Strong Bad, Keyboard Strong Bad, Senor Cardgage, Teenage Strong Bad, Sterrance and Tiny Handed Strong Bad.

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on Teenage Strong Bad's hat to see a creation of Strong Sad's ideas:
:''{Piano music, fade in on Coach Z holding a pear covered with eyeballs while black coffee continually streams down his mouthless face. Cut to closeups of the pear from two angles, its eyes google, then a closeup of Coach Z's head. Fade via black to the medium shot, Homestar appears next to Coach Z.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{subtitled, in a fake backwards-sounding voice}'' Coach Z, if you're not going to eat that eyeball pear... ''{clears his throat, starts talking normally with no subtitles}'' I suggest you give it to someone who will.
:'''COACH Z:''' I don't know what's going on, Homestar, but I'm not at liberty to discuss what I just did in my pants...
*At the end, click on Senor Cardgage's head to see Strong Bad's meeting with him:
:''{Senor Cardgage is sitting in a boat on a lake, holding a stick with fishing line tied to the end, hanging over the side. Strong Bad appears in the boat.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow, a fishing trip with Senor Cardgage! My life is complete.
:'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Alonzo Mourning to you, Myrtlebeth. Say hello to my tacklebox. ''{holds up said tacklebox}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Hello there, tacklebox. ''{smiles}'' I'm such a big fan.
:'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' Well, if you could just sign right here on the dotty line, the adaption will be complete.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''You're'' gonna adopt me?
:''{Strong Bad disappears}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{echoey voice-over}'' Aw, man...

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}
===Explanations===
* A [[Wikipedia:Doppelgänger|Doppelgänger]] refers either to a creature from folklore that mimics people's appearances as an omen of death, or to the theory that everyone in the world has someone else that looks exactly like them.
* [[Wikipedia:Sarsaparilla|Sarsparilla]] is a type of plant used to make beverages, and is a common ingredient in [[Wikipedia:Root Beer|root beer]]. (The pronunciation "sass-parilla" is more common than "sar-sparilla," though, and the only spelling recognized in most dictionaries is ''sarsaparilla''.)
* [[Wikipedia:Rent control|Rent control]] is a policy used in some urban communities where the market price is deemed "too high." Rent controlled dwellings are highly coveted in the communities where they are available, hence Strong Badman's choosing to live in his apartment rather than a secret underground lair.
* Strong Bad's conversion of fourteen dollars into [[Wikipedia:Dog years|dog years]] refers to the often-confused (and inaccurate) folk formula that dogs age seven "years" for every human year.
*A freemason is a member of the [[Wikipedia:York Rite|York Rite]], the [[Wikipedia:Scottish Rite|Scottish Rite]] or any of their allied organizations ([[Wikipedia:DeMolay International|DeMolay]], [[Wikipedia:Job's Daughters International|Job's Daughters]], [[Wikipedia:Order of the Eastern Star|Eastern Star]], etc.) which fall under the umbrella of [[Wikipedia:freemasonry|freemasonry]].
*[[Wikipedia:Electrolyte|Electrolytes]] are solutions of [[Wikipedia:Ion|ions]] (such as sodium and potassium salts) that are lost during [[Wikipedia:perspiration|perspiration]] and are often drunk to ease [[Wikipedia:Dehydration|dehydration]].
*[[Wikipedia:Vaudeville|Vaudeville]] is a style of multi-act theatre that flourished in North America from the 1880s to the 1920s, later succeeded by silent movies. Acts included anything from acrobats to mathematicians, from song-and-dance duos to trick high divers.

===Trivia===
*This email is the longest email to date, almost a minute longer than [[flashback]], currently the next longest.
*When Strong Bad jumps from one panel to another in the Strong Badman comic, he passes a panel with an explosion, saying "TADAOW!", and a panel with Deutschman (from [[haircut]]), holding a chain of sausages, saying "KINDER UBERRASCHUNG!!", which is the German name for [[Wikipedia:Kinder Surprise|Kinder Surprise]] (though Uberraschung should be spelled Überraschung).
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#weird dreams|weird dreams]]".

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad has no visible nose or ears, so the fact they are mentioned is notable.
*Senor Cardgage is the only one of Strong Bad's alter egos who had been seen talking with him prior to this email, as seen in [[kind of cool]], [[garage sale]], and [[Senorial Day]].
*This is a [[Strong Bad Hurting Strong Sad|rare]] occasion of Strong Bad being nice to Strong Sad.
*In [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], Strong Sad is seen writing with his right hand. However, in this email, Strong Sad is playing the guitar [[Left Handedness|left-handed]], though it is possible that Strong Sad is ambidextrous.
*It is interesting to note that Strong Bad's alternate universe machine is also a time machine; the [[Old Timey]] world and the [[20X6]] world are not actually different universes, rather just time periods in the same universe. However, some theories in quantum physics state that different times are also alternate universes.
*This email introduces a new 'ridiculously huge when it's closed' frame to [[Stinkoman]]'s mouth animation.
*The puppet Strong Bad is the only doppelgänger Strong Bad visited that did not appear in the ending screen, for obvious reasons.

===Goofs===
*During the comic scene, when the panel changes from "Because, mere mortal" to "Is rent controlled!", the panels underneath get changed.
*At the end, when the paper comes down, you can see that Strong Bad's pants have changed from black to dark navy, but not the pant legs. (Compare to Keyboard Strong Bad standing next to him.)
*During the recording session at the end, the wall's grey spot pattern is made from a single image of dots copied and pasted multiple times. This results in some half dots appearing between the copied images.
*When Strong Bad first jumps into the Alternate Universe Portal, his stool disappears briefly while he's in the process of warping.
*When all of the Strong Bads are warping in, the bottom half of the text on the Lappy is bigger and darker than the upper half, which is normal.
*After Strong Bad suggests forming a supergroup, we can hear Stinkoman's voice but we can't see him.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When the email was released, "girl" was misspelled as "gir" in Jody's email. This was fixed shortly thereafter.

===Inside References===
*Strong Sad was previously seen playing an acoustic guitar in a recent [[Sketchbook#SK-2006-03-02|Sketchbook]], although that guitar was a twelve-string. Here he plays a six-string.
*Putting a [[Wikipedia:Game Boy line|Game Boy]] in a [[Blender|blender]] to access an alternate reality was discovered by Homestar in [[2 emails]], when he made a time machine in this way.
*Strong Bad also confused the value of money and lengths of time in [[space program]].
*Strong Bad's "Mash go on that blender" is based on similar lines from [[flashback]], ("The Cheat mashed play on an extremely expensive [[Jam Box|jambox]]"), [[strongbad_email.exe]] ("make your selection and mash go, moron!"), and [[Everybody Knows It]] ("Mash play on that jambox").
*The "In a bulding"  line, including its accent and pronunciation, is straight from the [[Sketchbook (video)|DVD Sketchbook]] (though it was spelled correctly there).
*The music in the Strong Badman comic is from [[action figure]].
*Strong Bad visits many previous emails in his travels:
**Strong Badman and Stiny originated in [[superhero name]].
**Vector Strong Bad is from [[video games]].
**Stinkoman originated in [[japanese cartoon]].
**Tiny-handed Strong Bad is from [[flashback]].
**Keyboard Strong Bad originated in [[crazy cartoon]].
**Da Huuuuuudge and Sterrance are both from [[animal]].
**Teenage Strong Bad and the term "striped pants" are from [[highschool]].
**Senor Cardgage originated in [[kind of cool]].
*Strong Bad mentioned real fruit smoothies earlier in [[mascot]].
*The Easter egg with coffee-drenched Coach Z and the eyeball pear begins exactly as described and storyboarded by Strong Sad in [[Sbemail 150?!?]].
*The fishing boat, lake and background sounds are all from [[lures & jigs]].
*"Doge" is a reference to [[Biz Cas Fri 1]], where Homestar misspells "Dawg".
*The word ''sesquicentenn-email'', which would mean "150th email", was coined by Strong Sad in [[Sbemail 150?!?]].
*The word "VOIP" is a reference to the [[Visor Robot]]'s sound effect from [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].
*Strong Bad comments that the "Dig To China With Your Ears Contest" is the "second or third to worst contest I ever heard of," with the worse children's storybook-originating contests being the Strongest Man in the World Contest from the [[Original Book]] and the Ten-Step Footrace from [[flashback]].
*"Super Group" is a reference to [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 8]].
*"Number 1 jam" is a phrase previously used in [[time capsule]].
*Old-Timey Strong Bad previously used the word "Doppelgänger" to refer to Strong Bad in [[flashback]].
*Stinkoman's lyric "I hope it's from a girrrrrrrl!" is probably a reference to Strong Bad's desire for female emailers, as mentioned in the email rap of [[dragon]].
*The "Peanuts" font used in the comic book alternate reality was also seen in the email [[do over]].

The term "photoshopped" has come to mean any digital edit done to an image, even if it wasn't done in Photoshop itself. The term is often used pejoratively, to say that something is rather obviously edited.

Though Strong Bad sarcastically calls her creators "geniuses", She-Hulk was co-created by the legendary comic book artist [[Wikipedia:Stan Lee|Stan Lee]] and [[Wikipedia:John Buscema|John Buscema]]. Interestingly, She-Hulk comics are noted for their fourth-wall breaks, similar to Strong Bad's comments on the quality of the Strong Badman comic and his ability to travel from panel to panel.
* Homestar's unusual speech in the surreal Coach Z easter egg is based on a famous scene from the similarly surreal TV series ''[[Wikipedia:Twin Peaks|Twin Peaks]]'', which was co-created by director [[Wikipedia:David Lynch|David Lynch]]. (Strong Sad had cited Lynch as an influence in [[Sbemail 150?!?]].) The actors actually spoke their dialogue backwards, and the recording was then played in reverse, so that the words were heard by the audience in their proper order (though they still sounded unusual and contorted, just as Homestar sounds here).

'''STRONG BAD:''' How many emails can you check? Five, twelve, seven, shut up.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: extra cool</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
My new lady fan does not like you so much. Should I 
just call it quits now or can you do something extra special 
cool to impress her? 
Buck Webb 
Houston, Tejas
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Houston" as "Hooston".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Buck Webb? You sound like one of those boring soap-opera comic strips from the, ''{stops typing}'' quote-un-quote, ''{resumes typing}'' "funny" pages.

''{An example of a boring soap-opera comic pops up. It is titled "Buck Webb, Extraordinaire". Music begins playing. When characters talk, speech balloons appear.}''

'''BUCK:''' I'm afraid it's Splittsville for us, Lady Fan... if you don't take a shine to Strong Bad.

'''LADY FAN:''' ''{drippy speech balloon}'' Oh, Buck...

''{Cut to the next panel. Lady fan is holding a gun up to Buck.}''

'''LADY FAN:''' I'll give Strong Bad a chance. In fact...

''{Cut to next panel, of a turtle in a pool, with the caption "Sea turtles eat a wide variety of food".}''

'''LADY FAN:''' ... I think I'm falling for him. Like, big time.

'''BUCK:''' C'mon, baby. Stay with me.

''{Next panel. Buck is holding a yoga DVD.}''

'''BUCK:''' I'll buy you a new yoga DVD.

''{Next panel. Lady fan is crying and there is a caption "Back in Des Moines..."}''

'''LADY FAN:''' I'll... think about it.

''{Cut away from the comic. The Lappy's screen has been cleared.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' We both know who she's gonna choose, Buck. Is that what you want? But hey, you asked for it. And as you know, when people send me stupid emails, I'm obligated by law to do what they say. So, extra special cool coming right up!

''{Cut to a gymnasium.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nothing's more ESC than one-handed push-ups. Coupla these bad boys oughta do the trick! Here-a I-a go-a!

''{Strong Bad attempts to do a one-handed push-up, but falls down. The scoreboard buzzes and turns to -1.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, did I say "one-handed push-ups"? Those things are lame. Real men play two-handed push-ups! We'll start with fifty and see how we feel. Here-sa I-sa go-sa!

''{Strong Bad attempts to do a two-handed push up. Beads of sweat appear on his forehead, but he is unable to lift himself off the ground. The scoreboard buzzes and turns to -51.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I can't do ONE push up?! I used to be able to do like four. Maybe I need to start workin' out.

''{Homestar Runner appears, dressed as a work-out instructor.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Boy, I'll say you do. One, two, and flex your pecs! Give it eight more! And five! Twees it out! C'mon y'all! Just twees it out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Twees it out?

''{Homestar turns around to show Strong Bad his rear.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Your buttweesimo! We're gonna mold that twees into the Iron Sheik! Just six more now! Eight and four! Shake it freely, twees it out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, cool. I'm gonna go ahead and need you to never say "twees it out" ever again.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're doing great! Now shoulders down! One and two...

''{Strong Bad walks towards the viewer. Homestar continues to stretch in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What'll really impress your lady fan is a cute, fluffy The Cheat—

''{Scene changes to the laundry room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Fresh from the dryer!

''{Strong Bad opens the dryer, revealing a fluffy The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Awww, look at him! All cuddly soft...

''{Strong Bad tries to pet The Cheat but is shocked by static electricity. Then The Cheat starts turning green and his The Cheat noises turn queasy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' AHHHH! Jeez, use a dryer sheet man. Uh oh, this is not looking extra special cool.

''{Strong Bad closes the dryer door just as The Cheat throws up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Don't worry, little buddy. We'll just throw you back in the wash.

''{Some vomit runs out the corner of the dryer door. Homestar returns, still in his work-out uniform.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Get in the wash. Come one, come on! Twees it, twees it, zabaradoo!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get it out of here, Wretched Simmons! I'm trying to get some girl to like some guy I don't know!

''{Scene changes to Strong Bad and Marzipan sitting at a table with a kitty litter bag, pie pan with some kitty litter in it, envelopes, and scissors.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' One thing I definitely know about the lady fans is that they all like crappy arts and crafts projects.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Today we're going to make a real creative centerpiece out of junk mail and kitty litter.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sarcastically}'' Sounds heavenly...

'''MARZIPAN:''' Now first of all I want you to take your snip-sniparooskies-- and that's what we call our scissors...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapping, uninterested}'' Uh-huh...

'''MARZIPAN:''' ...and then just a little crinkle cut right here on the northern edge...

'''STRONG BAD:''' UGH! Never mind! What the lady fans ''really'' want is some ''{high-pitched echo-y screaming}'' PYROTECHNICS!!!

''{Strong Bad throws the BMW Lighter onto the table, turning everything on it to ashes, including Marzipan's hair.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Strong Bad, you're a horse's twees.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' There you have it, Buck. Oh wait...

''{Changes to comic strip version of Strong Bad talking to Buck.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There you have it, Buck. If that floozy's not all up-ons after that, you gotta drop her like a trig class, see.

''{Next panel, solo shot of Buck.}''

'''BUCK:''' Tight, Strong Bad. Real tight.

''{Next panel, work-out Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's right! Keep that twees real tight! Flex it, flex it, shoulder stance!

''{Next panel, a comic book version of [[The Paper]]. The Paper noise is heard. A caption reads "PREEEOW!!"}''

==Easter Eggs==
*Click the scoreboard after Strong Bad calls one-handed push-ups lame to see a blue bumper sticker that says "Real Men Play Two Handed Push-ups!!" with a small image of a soccer ball in the corner.
*At the end, click on the printer's green button to see Homestar's weight-loss DVD, titled "Tweesercize".
**The "Tweesercize box makes the following claims: 
::Tweesercise with Homestar Runner
::Loose weight?
::6 minutes long!!!

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}
===Remarks===
*This is the first time we see Strong Bad perspire.
*While Strong Bad may not be able to do push-ups, he was able to literally throw Homestar and [[The King of Town]] out of his house in [[secret identity]]. He was also able to knock Homestar senseless in [[car]] with what is assumed to be his off hand.
*This is another instance of [[The Paper]] not coming down normally.
*This is the second time [[The Paper]] has been shown coming out of a printer, the first time being in [[Email Processing Room]]. It appears to come from a [[Wikipedia:Dot matrix printer|dot matrix printer]].

===Goofs===
*Marzipan's scissors are not moving while cutting the "crinckle cut", even though the cut-off paper is getting larger.

===Inside References===
*The score counter going negative refers to an Easter egg in [[montage]].
*Strong Bad locking The Cheat in the dryer is a reference to [[2 years]].
*This is another appearance of the [[BMW Lighter]].
*Buck Webb emailing from "Tejas" is a reference to Strong Bad's pronunciation of [[Wikipedia:Texas|Texas]] in [[boring (really)]] and [[property of ones]].
*The phrase "[[All up ons]]" originated in [[suntan]].

===Real-World References===
*The soap-opera-type comic pokes fun at comics not written to be funny, such as [[Wikipedia:Rex Morgan, M.D.|Rex Morgan, M.D.]], which are found in most newspaper Funny Pages.
**The panel with a [[Wikipedia:sea turtle|sea turtle]] is a reference to the drama/information comic strip [[Wikipedia:Mark Trail|Mark Trail]].

: I concur. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:58, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
: "The 'neath" also fits with the same theme as "the 'bove" from Strong Bad's children's book. -- [[User:67.161.78.153|67.161.78.153]] 09:14, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

==Raymond E. Feist==
Is it just me, or does it seem very unlikely the Old-Timey Homestar would be making a reference to a modern fantasy novel? Me, I understood "Hi Sign", as in a wave of the hand.--[[User:Tosus|Tosus]] 09:43, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
:I agree. In fact, another "possible reference" to it was just added to the fun facts. I've heard that term used in many places. It's entering the realm of TTATOT. -[[User:YK|YK]] 10:00, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
::Indeed, Webster's defines high sign as "a gesture used as a signal (as of approval or warning) -- usually used in the phrase 'give the high sign',"[http://www.webster.com/dictionary/high%20sign] wording almost identical to The Homestar Runner's. [[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]] 10:26, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Anybody, know what a split 7-inch is? I think that would be worth an explanation on the article page. Also I don't know what the KOT mean by album needing to ''drop''. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 12:52, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

:This [[Wikipedia:7"|7"]] disambiguation on Wikipedia was the closest thing I could find to "seven-inch" being related to audio. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 13:26, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
::The Wikipedia article [[Wikipedia:Split_record|Split Record]] helps answer this question. Thus, a "split 7-inch" is a 7-inch diameter vinyl record containing a song by a different artist on each side.
:::You guys are right, but it's not necessarily one song per artist. It might be better to say "a record produced by two artists, each with songs on one side" or something to that effect. Just sayin'. [[User:ModestlyHotGirl|ModestlyHotGirl]] 14:32, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

There are exactly 536 frames altogether. Doing it again shows me the first 13 frames are "loading", and the last 23 frames are "done". First 13 frames + last 23 frames = 36. 536 - 36 = 500. Exactly 500 frames, each including one The Cheat, which means there are exactly 500 The Cheats. Yay! {{User:FireBird/sig}} 13:37, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

=== You say tomater, I zader STUFF'd ===
{{stufffact|"You say tomater, I zader matermorts" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:George Gershwin|George]] and [[Wikipedia:Ira Gershwin|Ira Gershwin]]'s 1937 hit song "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off", which compares the pronunciations of several words, including "[[Wikipedia:Tomato#Pronunciation|tomato]]" (''"to-may-to"/"to-mah-to"'').}}
{{stuffdata|[[Fall Float Parade]]|23:45, 10 December 2005 (UTC)}}

{{stuffargsfor}}
*The song is the most common reference of the phrase.
*As far as I know It is a common phrase ''because'' of the hit song.
**More to the point, see [[Wikipedia:Tomato#Pronunciation|this article]]. It explains exactly where the phrase came from.
*Yes, it's a common phrase, but its use is frequently understood as a reference to the song. Since the song is hardly obscure and still active in the public consciousness, the phrase is more connected to its origin than most of the idioms (in answer to comment below) which we ''don't'' explain. A comparable usage would be "Yada yada yada"; few would ever use that without the knowledge that it came from Seinfeld, and therefore at least a subconscious and mutually understood reference.
**Which would suggest that it doesn't need explaining.
{{stuffargsagainst}}
*It's a common phrase and therefore not really a reference.

{{stuffcomments}}
*The English language is full of idioms, as are the H*R 'toons. We don't list the origins of the others, so why this one?
*"Yada yada yada" has been around a LOT longer than Seinfeld, btw.
*Fact revised: If someone needs this to be explained, then simply giving the name of the song doesn't explain what it has to do with Coach Z's line (especially after the spelling change). Revised to quote first line of the song.
**That's slightly less redundant. I'm OK with that, but it still really doesn't need mentioning.

{{stufffact|Marzipan requested that Homestar say hi to the bee for her because she is very [[Sensitive To Bees|sensitive to bees]].}}
{{stuffdata|[[Fall Float Parade]]|15:51, 29 November 2005 (UTC)}}

{{stuffargsfor}}
*She's very sensitive to birds and trees, but she's ''especially'' sensitive to bees.
*Re: the first argument against: she may like animals in general, but according to the song, she really really ''really'' likes bees.
*Marzipan has expressed her opinions several times in songs - most notably "[[Oh yeah yeah]]."

{{stuffargsagainst}}
*She just likes animals. It isn't necessarily a reference to that song.
*She likes the bee, but since she is doing the commentary, she can't go over and greet the bee herself.
*The reason that TBC had Marzipan say this seems to be much more to have her ignore Homestar, rather than to specifically reference this song.
*Most fans do not own the [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]] CD, which, although it makes this an interesting connection, probably indicates that this was not an intentional reference.
*"Because" is too strong; it assumes something we can't know. Sure, there's probably a connection of some kind here, but that isn't the only reason (and may not be the main reason) she wants him to say hi.
*Not all that interesting. There might be a fact here, but it's not very fun.

{{stuffcomments}}
*What does the second argument against have to do with whether we link to the song or not?
*I wonder if this Fun Fact should be rewritten to better convey the reference between this Toon and the song.
**What else is there to say? You've got a description of the action in the toon followed by a link to the song.
*What connection is there, other than the fact this is Marzipan's second mention of bees?
**What more connection does there need to be? If you told me you liked skyscrapers, and then you proceeded to point out a skyscraper in a city, I would assume it's because you like them.
*This fun fact isn't explained very well. By sensitive does it mean "scared?" Does it mean "protective?"
**Um, offhand, I would go with definition 1 in my dictionary: "Capable of perceiving with a sense or senses," or possibly definition 3: "Susceptible to the attitudes, feelings, or circumstances of others." Either way, that's not the point. She likes bees. She wants Homestar to say hi to the bee because, as the song goes, she really really ''really'' likes bees. ''How is this complicated?'' I feel like I'm repeating things that are already on this page.
*If the connection is there, then the reason it needs to be explained in a fun fact is because new users to the wiki probably wouldn't make the connection. Hence, this item.
*Although I don't think this was an intentional reference, it's an interesting connection. I would reword the fact as "Marzipan's request for Homestar to say hi to the bee for her '''is consistent with''' her [[Sensitive To Bees|sensitivity to bees]]."
**This is a good revision. The weakness of the Fun Fact as proposed lies in the alleged causality; the problem is the word "because". But really, if the creature on the float had been a butterfly or a seal or an elephant or a weasel, Marzipan would ''still'' have asked Homestar to say hi to it. The essence of the joke is that she's more interested in greeting a fake animal — one that she may not realize can't even hear the greeting — than she is in the fact that her boyfriend is being devoured by a rodent.
***I disagree. The causality was intentional, much like when Strong Bad said "Hey, ''I'm'' the bee" during Marzipan's song. Her likeness of bees ''in particular'' (above other things) has been established, and so we should expect that Marzipan will react in some way ''every time'' she sees a bee. It is possible that she would have made a similar comment even if it hadn't been a bee specifically, but that's really beside the point. Moreover, TBC themselves got to choose whatever they wanted for the float, and they chose a bee. This is important because they are aware of their own inside references and probably would have chosen something else—anything else—if they hadn't intended the connection.
****I believe you are missing the point. Yes, it's a reference. Yes, TBC probably chose a bee specifically because she ''is'' sensitive to bees. Yes, she will react to a bee. This is not an argument against any of that. But she will also react to many other kinds of animals. This objection is only to the strong causality implied by the word "because". If you say the ''reason'' she asked Homestar to say hi is because of her sensitivity, then this implies she would not have asked Homestar to say hi to, say, a butterfly, because she is not sensitive to butterflies. Does anybody else get the distinction here (which I'm clearly doing a poor job of explaining)? Consider this hypothetical example: "Strong Bad had Cheatcakes for breakfast because he really loves Cheatcakes." Suppose it is 100% true that SB had Cheatcakes for breakfast, and also 100% true that he loves them. It is not necessarily true that this is '''why''' he had them for breakfast. Perhaps that's all that was available, perhaps that's what Strong Mad got up and fixed that morning, or whatever. The eating is ''consistent with'' the loving, and is probably a deliberate reference by the writers, but sound reasoning does not permit us to claim that this is '''why''' he happened to eat them today. There exists a relationship, but not causality. Otherwise you are implying that Strong Bad eats only those foods he loves, and that Marzipan greets only those animals that she is particularly sensitive to. It's not logically unsupportable. I really don't care about this particular fun fact (which has become anything ''but'' fun at this point), but we should care about logic and accuracy. The strength of a wiki is in refining everything in the furnace until all the incorrectness is burned away. Let's just find a different wording that notes the connection without drawing unsupportable conclusions.
*****Hence the revision below (is ''consistent with''), which almost everyone seems to think is worse than this one.
******That's true... but it does not address my argument. ;-) The fact that the first revision was not liked is no reason to give up and live with one that's incorrect.
*****I'm not missing your point at all. I have evaluated your statements, I understand them, and I have decided that I do not agree with them. It's as simple as that. ... Recently, I happened to be in a computer lab full of young students. The teacher had given them free time, and one of the students just happened to open our favorite website. Now, there's a good chance I might have walked over and struck up a conversation with the kid if the site he had chosen had been any number of things, but in that particular case, the '''reason''' I went over to him is '''because''' I am especially sensitive to homestarrunner.com.
******I don't have any problem with you disagreeing with me. It just seemed that my central point was not refuted, addressed, or acknowledged, and in such cases I usually conclude that the point has been missed (probably because I have failed to state it clearly). Somebody wrote "It is possible that she would have made a similar comment even if it hadn't been a bee specifically, but that's really beside the point" — but it's not beside the point at all; that ''is'' my point exactly. '''The very fact that she might have made the comment anyway means it is inappropriate to claim causality with the word "because".''' If you really are hearing my point, then could you please either confirm or refute this statement? Thanks.
*******Each one of these revisions has causality in it. Some of them are more implied than others, but it's still there. I don't see why we're beating ourselves up to try and reword it when a straightforward statement will do. If we truly believe there's a connection between the song and Marzipan's statement, then the word ''because'' is completely appropriate. In fact, if she didn't make her remark '''because''' of the song, then it should be left out altogether. Yes, deciding whether to include this item requires a judgment call, but it's a call I'm prepared to live with. ... Also, it ''is'' possible that she would have made a similar comment about something else. Just listen to the song: "I'm very sensitive to birds. I'm very sensitive to trees." She's sensitive to a lot of things. But those things ''don't matter'' because they were not on the float. What ''was'' on the float was a bee, which she is "''especially'' sensitive" to.
********A straightforward statement will do when the statement is ''correct''. You seem to be stating that all relationships are causal; that (to use your words) all "connections" are appropriately expressed by the word "because". I say that logic is flawed, which is why I'm looking for either a confirmation or refutation of my premise. But I don't think I'm going to get either one, so I will withdraw from the conversation and y'all can get on with business. Sorry I've created so much work for such an inconsequential fun fact.
******By the way, once this is accepted, if the specific wording still really really bothers you, you can still propose rewordings on the talk page, so long as the essense of the item as decided in STUFF stays intact.
*Re: The fourth argument against: What does CD ownership have to do with whether this was intentional? TBC are the ones who would have had it in mind, not users. If anything, the fact that not everyone owns the disc is a reason to make them aware of the song via the link.
**One of the interviews (I forget which) includes them saying that they intentionally include references and allusions that might be gotten by very few viewers (or maybe just one), just for their benefit. Although this was in the context of Real World Ref.s, the principle would mean they wouldn't shy away from referencing a fan material that not everyone had.

{{stuffrevise|Marzipan's request for Homestar to greet the bee on his float is especially interesting in light of the fact that she is [[Sensitive To Bees|sensitive to bees]].}}

{{stuffargsfor}}
* Trying to make it a little stronger than "is consistent with", which could apply to a lot of things.
* Restores the original part of speech for the page title (sensitive vs. sensitivity).


{{stuffargsagainst}}
* The sensitivity to bees isn't a particularly interesting fact to begin with - her "sensitivity to bees" is basically just a character trait that the song is the first to mention.
* Okay, I withdraw the revision. This "Fun Fact" just plain isn't very interesting, unless we assume too much and claim causality ... which isn't supported by the evidence.


{{stuffcomments}}
*The person who proposed the revision voted against it?!
*Yeah, upon further reflection I decided my revision sucked. Sorry.
:*Oh well, it's ok. I actually meant to put this comment in the first revision above, but too late. Would it be too much to alter the template so that revisions also have their own edit button? I think it would be much helpful and less confusing. EVEN BETTER: have each vote section (for and against) have their own edit buttons so that people can be sure to be voting in the right section.) I know this belongs in some talk page somewhere, but I don't know where and I do not feel like looking for it right now. Thanks!
::*Don't feel like looking for it right now? What? That would be like my saying that this discussion has been moved to the correct place, but I don't feel like telling you [[HRWiki talk:STUFF|where it is]] right now.

{{stuffrevise|Marzipan is [[Sensitive To Bees|sensitive to bees]], which may explain why she seems oblivious to Homestar's predicament.}}

{{stuffargsfor}}
* Another attempt to point out the reference without overstating causality. This version asserts that the joke lies not in Marzipan asking Homestar to say hi to the bee, but rather in her ignorance of the fact that he is being devoured by vermin.

{{stuffargsagainst}}
* These two things aren't even related. Marzipan is oblivious to Homestar's predicament because the two of them don't have a very strong relationship. The bee reference is completely secondary to that fact; that is, she would have mentioned the bee ''whether or not'' Homestar was even on the float at all, never mind whether he was being bitten by rats.
** The rewording I suggested to this revision attempted to form a relationship between Marzipan's ignorance of Homestar and her interest in the bee on his float. Without that relationship expressed in the revision, I don't feel comfortable voting for it.
*** Yes, I am trying to form the same relationship. The problem I had with your revision to the proposed revision was that it implied she cared about Homestar's predicament to some degree (just less than about the bee)... whereas it seems that she actually cares ''not at all'' about his predicament. I think we have the same goal, but this whole fun fact is so troublesome that everyone is trying to patch up the problems in slightly different ways. Maybe something like "Marzipan is [[Sensitive to bees|sensitive to bees]], and thus is so interested in the bee on Homestar's float that she seems oblivious to his predicament."

{{stuffcomments}}
* You seem to be introducing causuality into an area where it wasn't before. It seems like a valid way to reword this revision would be "Marzipan seems oblivious to Homestar's predicament, and the explanation is that she is sensitive to bees."
** Which causality is more likely: (a) Marzipan normally would not have cared about an animal, but in this case cares about it because of her sensitivity; '''or''' (b) Marzipan normally would recognize that being eaten by a rat is a negative thing, but in this case disregards Homestar entirely because she is distracted by an animal she is particularly sensitive to? The latter seems more likely to me.
::*No, I think it's the former. Look at the dialogue:
:::<blockquote>'''HOMESTAR:''' And I'm pretty sure a rat just bit my knee. '''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, that's great, sweetie. Say hi to that bee for me.</blockquote>
:::I see a full break in thought between Marzipan's two sentences. I believe that ''anything'' (related to Homestar or not) could have come before her "Say hi" comment and her last line would have been exactly what it is.
:*By the same token, you could reword the original, using this revision as a model: "Marzipan is sensitive to bees, which may explain why she requested that Homestar say hi to the bee for her."
::* That rewording would be an improvement. The whole fun fact is still boring, but at least that rewording is not incorrect.

=== The One Where Marshie Gets Away ===
{{stufffact|The runaway Marshie balloon may be a reference to the 1997 Thanksgiving Day Parade, where a giant [[Wikipedia:The Cat in the Hat|Cat in the Hat]] balloon [http://www.cnn.com/US/9811/26/macys.parade.01/ crashed into a light pole] and sent one woman to the hospital.}}
{{stuffdata|[[Fall Float Parade]]|19:33, 22 November 2005 (UTC)}}

{{stuffargsfor}}
*The two incidents are strikingly similar to one another.
**In both, the balloon goes out of control and crashes into an object, affecting the people around it.
*Unlike most examples where balloons simply get away, the '97 parade (and this Toon) have balloons that actually crash into things and cause damage, and possibly injury. The ''Friends'' episode only mentions a balloon that presumably gets lost.
*Since Coach Z and Marzi are commentating, it is clear that the events are referencing the Macy's Day Parade and not friends.


{{stuffargsagainst}}

*There are lots of examples of balloons getting away, for instance [[Wikipedia:The One Where Underdog Gets Away|the ''Friends'' episode where Underdog gets away]].

{{stuffcomments}}
*The cartoon appears to be deliberately vague on whether Coach Z and Marzipan were injured in the accident.
*"Specific reference" is pretty strong language. While we don't want "maybe"s or the like, it warrants toning down.
**Removed from fact.
***The phrase "is a reference" still conveys the sense of specificity.
****Would this be better as "may be a reference" then? I realize that starts getting into TTATOT territory - I still think it's pretty specific, though.
*****You could try it, if you want. We ''do'' have a handful of "may be" facts out there.
*Even though no one is known to be injured in the ''Friends'' episode (which dates from 1994), I used it as an argument to illustrate that the idea of a balloon getting away is a common theme. I think the crashing into the podium is just a humorous effect that coincidentally is reminiscent of the incident.
*There was a Sonic The Hedgehog ballon that did the same thing.

{{stuffrevise|While there are many instances of parade balloons getting away from their handlers, the runaway Marshie balloon incident is probably referring more specifically to the 1997 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, in which one of the balloons [http://www.cnn.com/US/9811/26/macys.parade.01/ crashed into a light pole] and sent one woman to the hospital.}}

{{stuffargsfor}}
*This version of the comment acknowledges that there are plenty of cases where balloons have gotten away, calls attention to this specific event. Should be more well-rounded.
* (in response to below) It is similar as the reason why the winds were able to carry the balloon is because there were not enough people manning the balloon, similar to TC not being able to handle his balloon.
**Additionally, if you listen closely during the Marshie segment, you can hear wind blowing in the background, emphasizing that the balloon is being blown out of control. (Listen between the two sections of ominous music.)

*Spelling out the similarities between the two events:
**Both balloons are of mascots (The Cat In The Hat is Dr. Seuss' mascot, Marshie is the Fluffy-Puff Marshmallows mascot)
**Both balloons go out of control due to not having enough people manning the balloon
**Both balloons are blown by high winds (indicated in the Toon by the wind-blowing sound effect, hinted at by the ominous music)
**Both balloons crash into their respective objects and cause damage
**In the RW incident, a woman was seriously hurt. The Toon hints (but doesn't specify) that Coach Z and/or Marzipan may have gotten hurt in the accident.
**It is (or at least used to be) a widespread practice to put up a "technical difficulties" screen when an accident occurs during a televised event, so that the producer of the show can attempt to save face.


{{stuffargsagainst}}
*In response to above: The Cat in the Hat is not Dr. Seuss' mascot. The Cat in the Hat is a character devised for one of his books.
*This isn't necessarily a reference to anything. Balloons getting away is just funny. It's a comical device.
*From Wikipedia: "In 1997, high winds pushed the Cat in the Hat balloon into a lamppost. The falling debris put a parade-goer in a coma for a month after her skull was fractured." That really isn't that similar to what happened in the toon.
*The cartoon makes me think of the Thanksgiving Day parade in Detroit a few years ago where the Chilly Willy balloon escaped for several hours. But I'm certain that TBC aren't referring to this incident either.
*I think the joke here is that every year, a balloon is BOUND to blow out of control and crash.
*The [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Fall_Float_Parade&diff=206593&oldid=206590 current] version of the page gets this information in easily in a far less debatable way.

{{stuffcomments}}
*Comment on revision of revision: I took out the specific mention of the Cat In The Hat balloon (made it more generic) because, as someone pointed out above, the fact that it was a Cat In The Hat balloon isn't really relevant. People who follow the link to the news article about the incident can read about the identity of the balloon there.
*Comment on Arg against: They're not exactly the same, but the point is that in both incidents, a balloon crashed into something and caused damage.
**And the Toon does not show whether Coach Z and Marzipan were injured by the crash, so we don't know.
***If the similarities essentially boil down to "a balloon crashed into something and caused damage," then that really doesn't sound very specific to me.
*Even "there are many instances of" is so understated as to be misleading, since [[Wikipedia:Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade]] reveals that it used to be traditional to release all the floats after the parade to drift.
*In response to the response to the comment, the Cat in the Hat both was and wasn't a "mascot" of sorts for Dr. Seuss. I wouldn't use the word mascot per se, but he was the character used in the logo for the series of beginning books written by Dr. Seuss and others in the 1950s and 1960s.
*Guess what! They had another accident ''this year'' in the Macy's parade with a balloon and a lightpole near Times Square.
**Just as a note, I believe the current Trivia Fun Fact about the irony of the most recent accident is a good place to mention the '97 accident as well, so that we don't have to make it be a reference, but still an event worthy of note.
***Please note the final comment under arguments against. It ''has'' been added there, and this Fun Fact is '''no longer needed'''.
****Note: this new second revision that you're talking about has been posted here on this page (see below) so that we can demonstrate that there is support for it.

{{stuffrevise|In a striking coincidence, an errant balloon knocked over a light pole and injured two people during the 2005 Macy's Parade, just three days after this cartoon was released. '''A similar event also occurred in the 1997 Macy's Parade.'''}}

'''NOTE: The only part of this revision being voted on is the bold last sentence. The rest of the item is already on the page, and is included here for context.'''

{{stuffargsfor}}
*This solves a couple of problems: it combines the two real-world occurances into one item, and it notes the 1997 incident without explicitly stating that TBC had it specifically in mind when they made the toon.

{{stuffargsagainst}}

*Still not liking the reference to a specific incedent. It's just a common big balloon gag.

{{stuffcomments}}
*This would be a sub-fact under the initial Real-World Reference about the Macy's Day Parade. This gives the 97 mention more of an excuse for being there than the other various float accidents mentioned above; without it the reader would know only that (1) the parade exists, and (2) a float got away only ''after'' the 'toon was released.

Ok, maybe later. When I feel like it.

'''[[strongbad_email.exe]] Bonus Email #3'''

Wilbur asks Strong Bad's opinion on the effects of video games on children. This email takes place in the Compy 386 era.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}}, [[Wilbur]]

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], The Video Game Make Place

'''Computer:''' [[Compy 386]]

'''Running Time:''' 1:37
__FORCETOC__
== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' There comes a time, when you read a certain email. ''{reads email}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
What is your opinion of the effects 
of in video games on children? Are 
video games harmful to the 
development of the human brain? 
 
sincerely, 
Wilbur, Seattle, WA</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad sings "WA" as a high note (pronounced "wa")}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohh, Wilbur. Sounds an awful lot like a little video game programming version of The Cheat.

''{A balding creature with a human head, long hair, glasses, a beard, and a The Cheat body appears on the screen momentarily.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' No way, Wilbur. Video games actually teach you all kindsa new stuff. Think of all the words we've learned from video games. ''{clears screen}'' There's "strafe." Who ever used strafe before they started putting it in video games? They used to just say, "walk sideways and shoot." Then there's "toggle." Y'know, you gotta toggle between the missiles and the lasers. ''{clears screen}'' And who could forget "melee." Which I can only assume means, "a buncha peoples fighting, like, all at the same time." Plus, most video games provide a veritable what-not-to-do of spelling and grammar. ''{stops typing}'' Just give a kid a video game instruction booklet

''{The cover of the instruction manual for "Strong Sad's Strafing/Toggling Challenge!!" appears on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{continuing}'' and play "Find the complete sentence." That's plenty educational!

''{The manual turns to Page One, which reads as follows:}''

<pre>
Play for best!!
- top score wins choice
- d+pad UP for combo
- remember alert!
Always to stop scoring. Challenge again!
</pre>

''{The manual disappears, and Strong Bad resumes responding.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And who doesn't remember staying up all night to beat an end boss only to be rewarded with a hearty ''{typed in big, bold, golden letters}'' CONGRATURATION! ''{resumes typing normally}'' They didn't even bother giving you multiple ones. Just a single congraturation they had lying around the video game make place.

''{Cut to an office setting. A balding creature with short hair, glasses, and a moustache and a The Cheat body is standing by a computer, while Wilbur is standing near a box of "congraturations!", which look like muffins. A Broderbund Software and Jumpman poster are in the background. Text in the corner reads, "AT THE VIDEO GAME MAKE PLACE"}''

'''BALD GUY:''' Hey man, you gonna eat that last Congraturation?

'''WILBUR:''' Naw, man. We're puttin' it in the game if you beat the end boss.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Compy 386}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{angrily}'' Freakin' stupid cheap waste of my time! They're being jerks!

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

==Easter Eggs==
*If you use the Angle button to change the angle, then when Strong Bad talks about the word "melee", you'll see a computer screen filled with Homestar Runner character-shaped sprites attacking each other at [[The Stick]].

== Fun Facts ==
===Remarks===
*The font on the instruction manual for "Challenge!!" is the same as the font used for [[monster truck|Awexome Cross]].
*On the DVD, the title screen is for the [[Tandy 400]], but the email is done with the Compy 386.
*The computer in the Videro Game Make Place is a Compy 386.
*The title of this email is a mention of [[Glossary#V|Videro]].

===Real-World References===
*The controller cartoon Strong Sad is holding in the instruction manual is very similar to the old-school NES controllers.
*Brøderbund Software is a now-defunct game development house, most well known for making Lode Runner, Reader Rabbit and the Carmen Sandiego Series. The [http://www.broderbund.com/ company itself]is still around, but has all but ceased production of games.
*Jumpman was the original name of Mario from Donkey Kong (NES).
**Jumpman was also a classic computer game from Epyx. The poster pictured in the background is box from one of its many versions.
*The title of this email and the bad English throughout it is a reference to the poor [[Wikipedia:Engrish|Japanese/English translation]] often found in old video games.
**It should also be noted that the title [[video games]] was already used for another Strong Bad Email and therefore a slight variation had to be given to this one.
*Strong Bad's e-mail song at the start is based on USA For Africa's "We Are The World".
*"Congraturation" is from the end screen of the Nintendo game "Ghosts N' Goblins". Generally regarded as one of the most difficult video games of all time, the disappointing ending can be viewed [http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/nes/a/ghosts.htm here]. The ending of [[Thy Dungeonman]] makes reference to this as well.
*Strong Bad says "Ohh, Wilbur" like the title horse in the 60s TV series [[Wikipedia:Mister Ed|Mister Ed]].

== Transcript ==

''{"SPECIAL" logo appears on the screen and spins a few times as we zoom in on it. As this happens, it turns from blue to pink.}''

''{A calendar shows up, tacked to a wall. Red "X"es mark out days on the calendar. The calendar dates turn to the credits. Music plays.}''

''{Music still plays. Homestar walks out of his house in a brown hat. He makes snow-prints in the snow. It is snowing outside. He walks up to a brick wall and stands beside Strong Sad, who is leaning on it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Breathing, breath is visible}'' Uhh... Uhh... ''{long silence}'' Uhhhh...

''' STRONG SAD:''' What's the matter, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Surprised}'' Oh! Strong Sad! I can't decide what to get Strong Bad for Decemberween.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh... What do you mean?

''{Silhouette}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I know he's kind of a jerk sometimes, and he says "holy crap" a lot, but I think if I get him the perfect present, he just might like me again.

''{Strong Sad close-up}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' What? People get presents for Decemberween? I always just get locked in the bathtub!

''{Back out from Strong Sad}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... Right. Uh... I gotta go. ''{Homestar runs off quickly, leaving a short-lived Homestar-shaped cloud.}''

''{Cuts to Coach Z and Homestar walking in front of a bunch of Christmas trees.}''

''' COACH Z :''' Well, Homestar, I'll tell ya'. Buying a Decemberween present for Strong Bad is like a great sports play.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let me guess... I can't just rush into the score zone.

''' COACH Z:''' Hey, that's right!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Frustrated}'' Coach! That's your answer for everything!

'''COACH Z:''' Oh. ''{Silence, then Coach Z holds up some mouth-wash.}'' Mouth-warsh? ''{Coach Z begins gulping mouthwash down}''

''{Cuts to Homestar and Marzipan in Marzipan's house. She is drawing protest signs as they talk.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:'''...and then he said it was like a great sports play. And I didn't even think that applies to this situation.

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's great, Homestar. Why don't you just get him a shirt? He dosn't seem to have very many of those.

''{Zooms to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, I'm pretty sure he enjoys going topless.

''{Zooms back out}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, you could get him a sponge, or a Jew's harp, or you could make some him some Chex party mix...

''{Zooms to Homestar again}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No way, those are terrible ideas. ''{Zooms to Homestar's face again}'' ''{Laughing}'' Like, I don't even want to see what you got me this year. ''{Chuckles.}''

''{Back out}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Mad, she turns to Homestar}'' Why don't you go bother somebody else?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now that's a good idea!

''{Music plays. Silhouette of Homestar walking along a bunch of snow-covered trees. They sway back and forth.}''

''{Homestar walks over to Bubs' Concession Stand. He has a bunch of lights and holiday decorations.}''

'''BUBS:''' Hey there, Homestar, what can I do for you on this fine holiday?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I can't find a freakin' present for Strong Bad.

'''BUBS:''' Well, you know what Coach Z says...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Zooms to Homestar, who leans back}'' ''{Annoyed}'' Yes, I know! I know!

'''BUBS:''' Oh, well, take a look around. I got all types of crazy crap!

''{Homestar pulls up an old NES "Tag Team Wrestling" video game.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No...

''{He throws it behind him. Pulls out gold, sparkling gloves with cursive letters "SB".}''

No...

''{Throws that behind him. Pulls out Strong Sad voodoo doll with pins sticking in it''.}

Uh... Are you allowed to sell this?

''{ Throws that back. Pulls out a poster that says "Frampton Comes Alive!" with an autograph reading, "To Strong Bad. Best Wishes! - P.F."}''

No...

''{Silhouette of Bubs' Concession Stand with Homestar standing in front of it. All the stuff Homestar threw back is laying in a pile.}''

That's it! This is the perfect present!

''{Cuts to all the gang standing around exchanging gifts.}''

''{The Cheat opens a gift to see it explode in his face. It blows his hair back and he is all black.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Opening a gift, which comes out to be a Coach Z scratch n' sniff calendar.}'' Coach Z, this is nasty.

'''COACH Z:''' That's okay. Smell Orctober!

''{Slides to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, let's see what we got from Homestar here...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Open it! Open it! That one's from me. It took me forever to pick it out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Opens gift to find it a'' [[imdb:tt0120647|Deep Impact]] ''DVD}'' What?! The ''Deep Impact'' DVD?! You got me this for like the last three years, man!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I know! And you liked it so much, I decided to get it for you again!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' This is the best Decemberween ever!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' This is the worst Decemberween ever!

''{The screen fades to black. Fade back in to the field. All the main characters except Strong Sad and Homsar are gathered together.}''

'''ALL except THE POOPSMITH, POM POM and THE CHEAT:''' ''{Singing to the tune of [[Wikipedia:O Tannenbaum|"O Christmas Tree"]]}'' Decemberween, Decemberween, you're fifty-five days after Halloween.

'''MARZIPAN:''' With bunnies running for their lives,

'''KING OF TOWN:''' ''{holding up a bunny on a plate}'' I wish this one was super-sized!

'''ALL except THE POOPSMITH, POM POM and THE CHEAT:''' Decemberween, Decemberween, you're fifty-five days after Halloween!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{enters from right}'' What are you guys talking about?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, who the crap let Strong Sad out?

'''ALL except THE POOPSMITH, POM POM and THE CHEAT:''' Decemberween, Decemberween, you're fifty-five days after Halloween!

'''BUBS:''' I've got all types of crazy crap!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I bought Strong Bad a ''Deep Impact''!

'''ALL except THE POOPSMITH, POM POM and THE CHEAT:''' Decemberween, Decemberween

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Coach Z's been drinking Listerine!

''{Music cuts out with a record scratch as Coach Z wobbles and falls face first into the snow.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*When Homestar is talking to Bubs at his concession stand, you can remove some of the Christmas lights and move them around just as in the [[Astro Lite]] game! To help do this, pause the toon by right-clicking and unchecking play.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*A [[Wikipedia:Jew's harp|Jew's harp]] is an ancient Eurasian instrument, also known as a jaw harp or mouth harp. Some believe it is called a 'juice harp' because the sound of the words 'juice' and 'jews' are similar. It should also be noted that some people consider the term Jew's harp offensive, and that the alternatives are generally preferred.

===Trivia===
*The signs on the trees are as follows:
**3% APR!!!
**The Decemberator 2000
**Zero Down!
**[[Cheap as Free]]
**buy me! i'm awesome
**No you're not. I am.
*Among the items Homestar finds at Bubs' is a copy of the NES game ''[[Wikipedia:Tag Team Wrestling|Tag Team Wrestling]]''. The game's teams were called "The Ricky Fighters" and "The Strong Bads". Obviously, this game is where Strong Bad got his name.
*This is the first cartoon where [[Decemberween]] is mentioned by its real name.

===Remarks===
*[[A Holiday Greeting]] had the same page title, as well as the same intro and loading screen.
*This cartoon seems to have been made during a transitionary period of sorts: The animation is of the most recent style, but the voices are the type that are associated more with the previous style. Notice, for instance, Homestar's pronunciation of "Strong Bad". Also, Bubs' Concession stand still has its old "Concessions by Bubs" sign, like from [[Where's The Cheat?]] and [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].
*Note Homestar's line about Strong Bad. "I think if I get him the perfect present, he just might like me again." This suggests that, like Strong Sad, Strong Bad used to be friends with Homestar, or at least tolerate him.
*The calendar at the beginning of the toon only shows 29 days in the month.

===Goofs===
*Strong Sad has no arms while he is singing.
*During the singing, if you listen closely, you can hear little the Cheat squeaks. But the Cheat's mouth doesn't move.
*When Coach Z and Homestar stop, the "Buy me, I'm awesome" sign on the Christmas tree is covering up a little bit of the tree in front of it.

===Inside References===
*The oven mitts are a reference to [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD|In Search of the Yello Dello]], as is Coach Z's quote: "Well Homestar, I tell ya, buying a Decemberween present for Strong Bad is like a great sports play."

===Real-World References===
*The introduction, with the spinning Special logo and sound effect, is a reference to the logo and sound that CBS used to preface their specials. The actual opening, used from 1973 to the late 1980's, is viewable [http://www.tv-ark.org.uk/international/video/cbsspecial1987.rm here] (this requires RealPlayer to view). This was used earlier in [[A Holiday Greeting]].
*The beginning of the toon contains many references to the [[Wikipedia:Peanuts|"Peanuts"]] cartoons by Charles Schulz, such as Homestar wearing a winter hat, similar to Charlie Brown's hat in "A Charlie Brown Christmas," and walking out of a house and along the low brick wall, Homestar sighing, along with the way Strong Sad's arms are drawn. Strong Sad plays the part of Linus and Homestar plays the part of Charlie Brown. It also pays homage at the end, when all the cast gets together and sings a song (which the Peanuts always did in their holiday specials). This ''may'' in fact be well-deserved kudos to the then-recently deceased Charles Schulz.
*The page title refers to [[Wikipedia:Dolly Madison|Dolly Madison Bakery]], a sponsor of various cartoon specials on CBS -- including Peanuts -- throughout the 1960's and 1970's.
*The title of this 'toon is based on the book, [[Wikipedia:The Best Christmas Pageant Ever|"The Best Christmas Pageant Ever"]], by [[Wikipedia:Barbara Robinson|Barbara Robinson]]. The plot has nothing in common except for the holiday theme, of course.
*[[The Cheat's Head Exploding|The Cheat's head exploding]] when he opened a present is possibly a reference to [[Wikipedia:The Smurfs|The Smurfs]], in which [[Wikipedia:Characters in the Smurfs#Jokey (aka Prisoner)|Jokey Smurf]] would give someone a present that would explode in the opener's face.
*[[Wikipedia:Listerine|Listerine]] (Coach Z's "mouth-warsh") is an over-the-counter mouthwash created by [[Wikipedia:Pfizer|Pfizer Inc.]] With an alcohol concentration between 21% and 26% w/v, it is possible to get drunk off of Listerine, as demonstrated by Coach Z. However, the alcohol in Listerine is denatured, which would cause him to regurgitate it before the effects of the alcohol could take effect.

===Fast Forward===
*Strong Sad getting locked in the bathtub, as mentioned in this toon, is later seen in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].

Strong Bad's Fondue Pot

Alcnolien — Thu, 08 Dec 2005 13:16:05 GMT

Alcnolien: comma'd

[[Image:fondue_pot.PNG|thumb|200px|"Can I borrow your fondue pot?"]]

'''Strong Bad's [[Wikipedia:Fondue|Fondue]] Pot''' is actually many pots in one, though it is mainly used to make fondues. It is first seen in the [[50 emails]] when [[Homestar Runner]] returns it. Homestar apparently likes to use it, as he has been heard asking [[Strong Bad]] for it again.

The fondue pot has 6 fondue forks, which is odd, because most have 8.

== Appearances ==
* '''Debut:''' Email [[50 emails]] — he brings it back to Strong Bad
*[[Arcade Game]] — he asks to borrow it again
*Email [[garage sale]] - one of the things Strong Bad is selling.

Biz Cas Fri 2

Alcnolien — Thu, 08 Dec 2005 01:12:52 GMT

Alcnolien: /* Explanations */ GOOD GRAMMAR'D!!!

[[Image:biz cas fri 2.JPG|thumb|"You smell like wet tech support, with onions!"]]

Homestar creates more trouble for Strong Bad. The shareholders are not amused.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' Puppet {{Film|Strong Bad}}, Puppet {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, [[Shareholders]]

'''Places:''' [[The Office]]

'''Date:''' July 1, 2005

'''Running Time:''' 2:00

'''Page Title:''' Biz Cas Fri 2

== Transcript ==
''{Close-up of a water cooler. The title words, "Biz Cas Fri" appear. Air bubbles rise into the cooler. Cut to Strong Bad standing at his office computer in his cubicle. Strong Bad is wearing a striped casual polo shirt. The computer monitor is covered in yellow sticky notes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow! This is gonna be great! This is like my most productive day ever, and it's not even lunch yet!

''{Homestar Runner swoops in, sounding dazed, wearing a solid-brown casual polo shirt, eyes turned horizontally, and a piece of garland on his hat.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{possibly hung-over}'' Rondo, it's official. This just in from corporate.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, what is it?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thursday is the new Friday. Man, I don't even want to remember what went on last night.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Apparently you didn't wanna remember to take a shower, either! You smell like wet tech support, with onions!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks man! Hey! I need you to cover for me. I'm supposed to present the third-quarter earnings to the shareholders in five minutes, but I really need to take a nap under your desk, here, so—

'''STRONG BAD:''' No way! I'm in the middle of something big here! I'm going to save this company millions!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks man, I owe you one. ''{collapses}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad in front a whiteboard with a pie graph on it. Strong Bad is standing behind a desk in front of an audience.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... yes! Thank you, gentlemen. So... uh... how's everybody feeling out there? ''{crickets chirp} {Strong Bad leans to his right}'' Lemme get all my shareholders on this side of the table to say "HEY!". ''{leans to his left}'' And all my shareholders on this side of the table to say "OHHH!".

''{One of the shareholders clears his throat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, lemme tell you about this Post-it note. Listen tightly. This thing's going to save the company millions!

'''SHAREHOLDER:''' ''{Deep, rumbling voice}'' What about the earnings?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, yes. Earnings. Uh... can I have the country of origin, please?

'''SHAREHOLDER:''' What?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Err... can you use it in a sentence?

'''SHAREHOLDER:''' Where are the earnings?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes. Earnings. ''{Letters appear on screen as he says them.}'' E-A-R-N— ''{gets hit by a shoe, falls over}'' Ow!

'''SHAREHOLDER:''' Is this the kind of man we hire these days? He's a total liability!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{appears to the right of the shareholder}'' Yeah, liability! ''{Letters appear on screen as he says them.}'' L-I-A-B-I— ''{gets hit by a shoe}''

''{"end."}''

== Easter Eggs ==
* At the end, click on the shoe that hit Homestar to see more of the [[Sticky Notes|Post-its]].
:''{Strong Bad is in his cubicle again, with Post-it notes stuck to everything}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{hysterical}'' Millions, I tell ya! Millions!! Ohh, I'll save the company millions!! ''{slowly falls to the ground}'' I'll save bunches of money...
:''{A Post-it note falls off the wall.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Shareholder|Shareholders]] are people that own shares of stock in a company. A company's responsibility is to benefit its shareholders, and any profit is divided amongst the shareholders.
*Strong Bad's asking for a word's country of origin, for it to be used in a sentence, and the way Homestar and Strong Bad begin spelling "earnings" and "liability" are in the style of a [[Wikipedia:Spelling bee|spelling bee]].

===Trivia===
*In a similar fashion to [[Biz Cas Fri 1]], this puppet short was released on a Friday, even after a significant update was released on the preceding Monday.
*Homestar's sideways eyes were first seen publicly in the [[Alamo Drafthouse - 10 Jun 2005|Alamo Drafthouse]] appearance. The earliest known filming of his sideways eyes is seen in [[Puppets & Little Girl Outtakes]].
*If you look closely enough, you can see Strong Bad in his "Check me out" pose, on a certificate in the main view of the meeting room.

===Remarks===
*The Post-it note on Strong Bad's cubicle wall reads, "BOB!"

===Inside References===
*The sound effect used for the dazed Homestar was originally used in [[car]], when Homestar was punched out by Strong Bad.
*On the upper part of the screen, you can clearly see the "Remember the 'Tivities" motivational poster from [[no loafing]].
* The name Homestar calls Strong Bad "Rondo" is an abreviation of Rondleman, the name he calls him in [[Biz Cas Fri 1]].
* Right after one of the shareholders clears his throat, you can hear [[The Geddup Noise]] (or possibly Chairscoot).
* Strong Bad's obsession with Post-its was first introduced in [[Strong Sad's Lament]].

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

'''Strong Bad Email #139'''

Strong Bad tries to make a portrait of himself.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|The Cheat}}, {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Strong Mad}}

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[Strong Mad's Room]], [[Strong Bad's Basement]], [[The Field]] (Easter Egg)

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey everybody, it's a musical Strong Bad Email this week! ''{presses enter}'' ''{singing}'' Doo doo doo Dear, Dear Strong Bad, oh I was wondering—''{stops singing}'' I can't keep this up.

<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: portrait</div>
Dear Strong Bad- 
I was wondering if you ever wanted to have somebody 
paint a portrait of  your greatness. 
guess what, it's- 
Dylan Bragers (aka Coolio da Fabio) 
Texas
</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Guess what? Nobody calls you Coolio da Fabio (aka quit making up nicknames for yourself.) I'm just gonna call you Dealin' Burgers, which I assume doubles as an accurate job description.

''{Clears screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Moving onwardly, I suppose my greatness is worthy of portraiture. Perhaps one done by a Deutsch Master.

''{Cut to a portrait of Strong Bad holding a toy with a duck's head on the end.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The kind that are always getting stolen or vandalized by art bandits.

''{The Cheat appears from the top and paints a robotank with spraypaint and a stencil, along with the words "RAD, RAD ROBOTANK".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{not typing}'' Thanks little buddy; now it's worth something.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes noises like Strong Bad is welcome}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{resumes typing}'' Or what about one of those black and white ink portraits you see in all the rich-guy newspapers.

''{Cut to a rich-guy newspaper. An image of Strong Bad holding a cell phone is on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well apparently they're not rich enough to afford any color. Or even solid lines... Just a bunch of dots and dashes. I look like Morse Code. ''{imitates speaking as though in Morse Code}'' Dah dah dah dee dee dee... I-I a-am h-hold-i-ing a-a r-re-eal-ly o-old c-cell ph-phone.

''{Cut back to the Lappy. The screen has cleared.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oops. No. Hey, I got it! A painting of such greatness demands only the finest materials. And what could be finer than black velvet in a cheap imitation wood frame? It would be showcased—

''{Cut to the velvet painting. It shows Strong Bad holding a skunk. A lamp with a moose on it can be seen to the left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —in only the fanciest double-wide trailers. Oh, and look! I finally caught that skunk. I been chasing after that little scamp for—Whoa!—

''{The shot suddenly shifts to the right to reveal a poster of a unicorn. Another moose lamp is seen on the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —Is that a blacklight poster of a unicorn riding a snowmobile?! Now ''that'' is some esteemed company.

''{A [[Cold One|Cold One Ice]] flies at the lamp and shatters it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks for breaking my moose lamp.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Unfortunately, I don't know anybody with a useless Master of Fine Arts degree, so I might have to settle for something a bit more, how you say, made by Strong Mad or The Cheat.

''{Cut to The Cheat, who is noisily gnawing Strong Bad's face into a log.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Very... uh, slobbery, The Cheat. This isn't quite what I had in mind when you said "sculpture."

''{Music starts playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're really just... goin' to town there, aren't ya?

''{Strong Bad stares at The Cheat working for a moment.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm gonna ''{motioning with his glove}'' leave you two alone.

''{Strong Bad backs away. Cut to Strong Mad's room. Strong Mad is sprinkling glitter over a macaroni picture. Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, nice work, Chef Boyardee.

''{Cut to a close-up of the picture.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Like I couldn't have gone down to the kindergarten and hired a five-year-old to make me one of those. ''{Cut back to the wide shot.}'' ...Except that sounds pretty creepy and I'd probably go to jail.

'''STRONG MAD:''' I'LL WAIT FOR YOU!!

''{Cut back to the Lappy. Strong Bad sits down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, thanks to my no-talent minions, it looks like a self-portrait is the only way to go. And I will render it in nothing less than the classic style of the Trüe Mästers.

''{Cut to a shot of Strong Bad, who has somehow fit his head into a cardboard cutout of a muscular man holding a sword with a keyboard on it. The man has "SB" written on his stomach and is holding a falcon. His one visible leg wears a boot that looks vaguely similar to a [['Lectric Boots|'Lectric Boot]]. There are also two cans of paint nearby, labeled "Some Paint" and "Some More Paint". There is also a cutout of a mermaid at his feet with an empty space for a head. He paints it with a small brush.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, at last: A self-portrait that accurately depicts who I am, where I'm from, and my passing interest in falconry.

''{He tries to get out.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, oh. ''{keeps trying}'' How do I get outta this thing?

''{Cut to the reverse angle. He can be seen hanging by his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' How did I get ''into'' this thing? ''{kicks his legs together a few times}''

''{Cut back to the front view. He holds up the duck-head toy from the first portrait.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{making the bird talk}'' Quack, quack.

''{Cut to a close-up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why, Lord Quackingstick, how nice to see you. You don't happen to have a hacksaw in your pocket, do you? ''{making the bird talk}'' Quack, quack.

''{Cut back to the wide shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, too bad. ''{looking down at the mermaid}'' Well, what about you, Princess Shellbra?

''{He moves the bird-on-a-stick into the face hole for the mermaid.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{making the bird talk in a high, sultry voice}'' Quack, quack. ''{speaking normally}'' But of course. I love to serenade you anytime with my ''{looks down to his right}'' mystical key-sword-tar. I mean it's not like I'm goin' anywhere... anytime soon.

===Remarks===
*[[SAAB Lighter|The lighter]] in the key-sword-tar Easter egg is a [[Wikipedia:Saab|Saab]] lighter, as opposed to the usual [[BMW Lighter|BMW one]].
*The fours in The Cheat's ''4rt b4ndit'' shirt are another example of [[Wikipedia:Leet|Leetspeak]] in the toons.
*Strong Bad mentions a whammy bar, or tremelo, while playing his key-sword-tar (a pun on the [[Wikipedia:Keytar|Keytar]]). However, only actual guitars have these.

===Goofs===
*The second small line on the right newspaper paragraph repeats the word "the".
*In the Easter Egg, when Strong Bad is moving the cardboard cutout of the keysword guitar around, the picture reverses direction.

===Inside References===
*Homestar's line "Thanks for breaking my moose lamp" is a reference to [[caper]], where he thanked Strong Bad and The Cheat for breaking his [[Cow Lamp|cow lamp]].
*A Strong Badman comic appeared in connection with a "Deutschman" in [[haircut]].
*The velvet painting of Strong Bad holding the skunk was done by [[Leomard Sportsinterviews|Lem Sportsinterviews]].
*The gnawing pose for The Cheat was last used in [[personal favorites]]. In the [[personal favorites#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] mention wanting to use that pose again.
*Strong Bad has a blacklight unicorn painting, as seen in the [[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]].
*The School Paste in Strong Mad's room was first seen in Strong Sad's room in the Email [[depressio]].
*The tune that Strong Bad uses to sing the opening lines of the e-mail is the same as the tune to the "Pardon Out Problems" sign at the end of [[Fall Float Parade]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Mulligatawny|Mulligatawny]] is a kind of soup.
*The Rad Rad Robotank is likely a double-reference to [[Wikipedia:Transformers Universes|Transformers]] (the head is that of [[Wikipedia:Optimus Prime|Optimus Prime]]), and to the [[Wikipedia:Newgrounds|Newgrounds.com logo]] (the overall pose is very similar).
**The fact that it appears as a stencil is possibly a jab at Newgrounds' tendency to encourage people to place their [http://www.newgrounds.com/stickers/ promotional stickers] everywhere.
*[[Wikipedia:Chef Boyardee|Chef Boyardee]] was an Italian chef who is famous for his canned food franchise.
*The black and white portrait of Strong Bad bears a strong resemblence to ones found in [[Wikipedia:The Wall Street Journal|The Wall Street Journal]], which is probably the "rich guy newspaper" he was referring to.
*[[Wikipedia:Lamaze|Lamaze]] is a relaxation technique designed to avoid the use of pain-killing drugs during childbirth.

I looked at some scripts and i found that the ones that can change backrounds have three. The nighttime is displayed between 7pm and 4am, the sunrise/sunset between 4am and 6am, also between 6pm and 7pm, and the rest daytime. So, starting at 12 am, from 12am to 4am nighttime, 4am-6am sunrise, 6am-6pm daylight, 6pm-7pm sunset, and 7pm-12am nighttime. Sunrise and sunset are identical, the ones that change are Bubsness and Song.

:You don't think it's legal, or you don't think it will be a problam? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 02:27, 23 Jul 2005 (UTC)

No, it's not legal. TBC have given the rights to reproduce their characters to the company that prints their shirts, and producing your own shirt undermines their ability to turn a profit. Now, as long as you don't ''sell'' your shirt (I'm assuming we're talking about ''one'' copy), you probably won't attract much notice. But you asked whether it was legal, not whether you would likely be prosecuted. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:40, 23 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:Anyone- Transcripts of these messages can be found [http://forum.hrwiki.org/viewtopic.php?p=150347&highlight=#150347 here]. Note that I jotted them down quickly, especially "bubsness.swf", so they may be wrong. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 19:32, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:: Transcripts of all but the Bubsness message were already on the Store page.

Speaking of, what's the best software to use to view Flash files directly? I've looked all around this wiki but I've never come across a name. A Google search gives results, but I don't know which one to pick. Pause. Rewind. Fast forward. Resize/Zoom. View source code. See behind the black. Any or all of these features would be preferable. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:19, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
: I can get all of those features except the source code from simply watching the .swf file of any 'toon (we link them on every page.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:23, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:: Riiight... but what ''software'' do you use? Do you watch it straight from IE? Firefox? What? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
::: IE. Right-click the toon to see all the features. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:28, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)
:::: Yeah, I've been using IE for a ''while'' now to view .swf files, and not being able to jump ahead, or to move forward or backward more than one frame at a time, just isn't cutting it. I need something more advanced. Some people mention a "seek bar", which tells me there is software out there that is better than just plain ol' IE. Is it Flash developer software? Is it expensive? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:51, 25 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Store Revamp ==

I noticed [[User:mibluvr13|mib]] revamped the article. It looks great, but I think it could use some improvement, especially the "Accesories" section. The pictures stretch the screen on smaller screens, and I think it'd look nice if most, if not all, of the products were tables with the "closeup" feature on all of them. I also don't really like the direct images from the actual Homestar Runner Store. I think they could use some editing (and better quality). If the whole thing was a table, it wouldn't look so cluttered and messy, but easy on the eyes and not as difficult to read. My two cents. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 21:07, 6 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Freebies ==
What do the freebies look like (particularly the big freebie, the keychain)? --{{User:RJMT/sig}} 22:33, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)

The keychain is the basically looks like this [http://groups.msn.com/bkmlb/stuff.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=27 this] and on the back in white writing is homestarrunner.com--[[User:bkmlb|bkmlb]] 22:46, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:But what about that other one described? --{{User:RJMT/sig}} 22:49, 10 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::The other keychain is the shape of a star. The front has a red border with Homestar Runner in the middle, and the back has three smaller stars with the words "homestarrunner.com" in red writing. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 15:21, 12 Aug 2005 (UTC)

They have the Homestar one that is white, shaped like a star, has a picture of homestar on it, a red border, and says the site adress in red on the back. The Strongbadia one is red, shaped like a stop sign (octagon), has the word 'STOP' in white on it, with 'STRONGBADIA, POP: TIRE' in a spraypainted black font written overtop, and has the site adress in white on the back. I don't know of any others! --dayve_57, 1 Oct 2005

Here's a tidbit: on the order confirmation/acknowledgement emails, Big Freebie A is the homestar keychain, and Big Freebie B is the stop sign... I think. I haven't got my order yet but I noticed that I got a different freebie, supposedly... so I think that is how you know which you got. -[[User:Jenny|Jenny]] 21:13, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

I know that you have a section for some of the T-shirt that aren't available anymore, but I was thinking that it might be cool to have a section where it says some of the other things that used to be available in the store such as the tattoos and the Strongbadia Floaty Pen. Thanks!

== Ow! My browser! ==

Man, this page kills on slow computers. Maybe we should split up the items, much like [[Sightings]] ("Store T-shirts", "Store Toys", etc.)? The Store article also looks very, very cluttered and hard to read the way it is. Any ideas? Anyone else want to tackle this? {{User:FireBird/sig}} 16:27, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:I agree that this page does look cluttered and we probably should divide this article into muliple pages like T-shirts and Toys. And for the recent changes to the "Front Page", perhaps we could note the difference between text updates instead of quoting verbatim the many "COMING SOON!" sections that say almost exactly the same thing using different words. Does this sound re-zon-able? {{User:The Paper/sig}} 15:31, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

'''Suudsu''' (pronounced SUD-zoo) is [[The Cheat]]'s favorite bedtime snack. He needs it to fall asleep at night, along with "[[The Denzel]]" and other rigamarole. [[Strong Bad]] has also taken to it, describing it as "Pure Genius!" and "G-E-W-D, gewd". Some mornings The Cheat, if he is still alive after being subjected to [[Roach Killa!|bug bombs]], will fix Strong Bad and Strong Mad a big pitcher of this delicious concoction.

Back when it was a graph, I had an idea. Why don't we include the dates of when each head was used? - {{User:Joshua/sig}}

:Good idea! I was thinking to also include the last quote that they had and a link to it, but maybe that is 'overkill'. --{{User:Smileyface11945/sig}} 02:27, 2 Oct 2005 (UTC)

| [[Image:Morefancostumes1.PNG|200px]] || [[Strong Bad]] || '''STRONG BAD:''' Dear Strong Bad, how's your miserable job at the depressing faceless office park? Oh, pretty good, Geraldine. Today they let me stand out in the parking lot and stretch my head during my seven-minute lunch break. If I'm lucky, I'll get to work here for ten years with no promotion and then get laid off!
|-
| [[Image:Morefancostumes2.PNG|200px]] || Burninated Peasant, [[Trogdor]] || '''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, a burning peasant and Trogdor partying together in perfect harmony! And a full nine days before Halloween even!
|-
| [[Image:Morefancostumes3.PNG|200px]] || [[Coach Z]], [[King of Town]], [[Marzipan]] || '''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, and next on the worthless arts and crafts shopping channel, the least popular Homestar Runner characters gourd collection. Nothing completes an old lady vestibule quite like them.
|-
| [[Image:Morefancostumes4.PNG|200px]] || [[The Cheat]] || '''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh! The Cheat! Some kind of adorable baby is bursting out of you!
|-
| [[Image:Morefancostumes5.PNG|200px]] || [[Bubs]] || '''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, man! Bubs has flipper arms, not tentacle arms! Those things look deadly, like they could pry the shell off a... mollusk... in no time flat! Now, go enjoy the crappy Halloween decorations we put up in the cafeteria. Amanda from sales worked all morning on those!
|-
| [[Image:Morefancostumes6.PNG|200px]] || [[Strong Bad]] || '''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yeah. That's the way to get decapitated, man. Couple of young ladies to cuddle up with my giant severed head...
|-
| [[Image:Morefancostumes6a.PNG|200px]] || [[Strong Bad]] || '''STRONG BAD:''' Uh—oh, wait a minute, now, girls, what's going on here?
|-
| [[Image:Morefancostumes6b.PNG|200px]] || [[Strong Bad]] || '''STRONG BAD:''' Aaah! My poor husky head! Were there at least any Twixes in there?
|-
| [[Image:Morefancostumes7.PNG|200px]] || [[Mr. Shmallow (character)|Mr. Shmallow]] || '''STRONG BAD:''' A Mr. Shmallow costume? Are you kidding me? Were you trying to ''lose'' friends this Halloween?
|-
| [[Image:Morefancostumes8.PNG|200px]] || [[Trogdor]] || '''STRONG BAD:''' I said "S and more different S"! Not seven or... more different... crescent wrench. And is that limp pantyhose worm supposed to be a beefy arm? Why don't you walk back there to the China Express and get them to fill that thing with teriyaki chicken. And then we'll go to Spencer's Gifts.
|-
| [[Image:Morefancostumes9.PNG|200px]] || [[Horrible Painting]] || '''HORRIBLE PAINTING:''' Come on in heeere.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-oh, that thing is ''way'' more evil in pumpkin form. Must... fight... jibblies! Can't... hold... on... much... longer! A-jibblie-jibblie!
|-
| [[Image:Morefancostumes10.PNG|200px]] || [[Strong Bad]], [[Homestar Runner]], [[The Cheat]] || '''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, Homestar babies! Check 'em out, they're just like real life! The Strong Bad kid is like, "Ooh! Feel my wrath!" And the Homestar kid is just totally clueless, like, "I wike candies!" And then The Cheat is like, "Whoa, I bet I could swipe that plasma screen over there."
|-
| [[Image:Morefancostumes11.PNG|200px]] || [[Homestar Runner]] || '''STRONG BAD:''' Ohh. That is animal cruelty. Could that dog possibly be more miserable? I bet if old Rover left some sweet spots on that carpet they'd take him out of that ridiculous geddup. Come on, boy! Leave a sweet spot! Just a little sweet spot!
|-
| [[Image:Morefancostumes12.PNG|200px]] || [[Homestar Runner]] || '''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, da da da da DA-A!! So confused... what to think?? Hot Homestar?? My brain is splitting in half!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, hey Strong Bad!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Daaa! You get outta here!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa, you sound tense. Do you want me to give you, like, a backrub or anything?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh... yes! No! I... don't know! Next picture, next picture!!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think this is the last one, sweetie.

'''STRONG BAD:''' WAAAAA!! ''{trails off as though he's running away}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I should probably stop calling everybody sweetie.

'''Date:''' November 1, 2005

==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>

''{But drawings of bugs and [[Ducks|ducks]] obscure all of the important parts, asterisked. Also, Homestar has written "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 forest, 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:''' I 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:''' Do either of you have any cash on you? I'm trying to get a me a sandwich or something. 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'. ''{walks 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. 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. 'Cuz 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 of it with some Windex. That made it all blue and soft...

''{It fades back in. The King of Town has his head lowered in emotion. His Chicken Basket 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? 'Cuz 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—

''{He zips all over the screen, yelling incoherently.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{popping out of 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 The Poopsmith's face as Homestar walks away (see Easter Eggs). 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!

''{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 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 that 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". 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:''' Whoa, 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, and Bubs covers his ears}'' Backyard peaches! Treats come true! Karate Summer, what wouldja do? The world is the egg, and...

'''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 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, Saraleecheesecake, Denouement...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Those words are great!

''{The scorecard appears with "Magic Words: Loquentia, Imbruglia, Precipitous, 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 ''{whatever water you obtained}'' water, ''{he throws the bottle into the cauldron}'' some powdered ''{whatever powder you obtained; it's thrown into the cauldron too; he omits "powdered" for the ground ground}'', and essence of ''{whatever essence you obtained; again, he throws it into the cauldron; if you got essence of gulibility, he adds "Whatever that is"}''. ''{Pulls out the stirring utensil}'' And give a little stir with this ''{whatever stirring utensil you obtained}''. And say these magic words. ''{He hands an index card to Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{whatever magic words you obtained}''

''{The cauldron makes a "poof" sound and smoke emerges, and Marzipan dips a cup into it.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Here, Homestar. ''{hands the cup to Homestar}'' Have some Melonade!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't mind if I do! ''{He drinks the contents of the cup. Depending on your choices, various things can happen:}''

''{See the fun facts section to see how the endings scenes are chosen. These are the different effects on Homestar:)''

====1. One-eyed Homestar====

''{Homestar suddenly loses his wig and sprouts one enormous eye on his face.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''(Yelps)'' Marzipan! There's only one of you!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Don't tell me you forgot how to use your eyes again.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Do you mean to tell me that I haven't been dating twins this whole time?

'''MARZIPAN:''' I don't think you have to worry about dating anyone from now on.

'''HOMESTAR:''' Hooray!

====2. Suave Homestar====

''{Homestar takes on the appearance of a suave foreigner.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ooh, goody goody gumdrops!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{in a bad accent}'' I say, Marzipan, let us away to my romantic chateau in the Fantastic mountains!

'''MARZIPAN:''' I'll go pack my pashmina. ''{walks offscreen}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing, in his regular voice}'' Oh, gettin' lucky toniiiiiiight...

====3. Freaky Marzipan====

''{After drinking the potion, Homestar turns into a normally-dressed Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hooray! I'm not the only girl!

''{As Strange Marzipan speaks, her horrible teeth and wobbly mouth become visible.}''

'''STRANGE MARZIPAN:''' ''{in a low-pitched voice}'' I think we're gonna become fast friends!

''{Marzipan shrieks and runs off; Strange Marzipan makes a silly face.}''

====4. The Goblin====

''{Homestar transforms into The Goblin.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ooh, he's so cute! Do it do it do it!

''{The Goblin dances.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Annd scene!

====5. [[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!

''{We see the tofu head slide off into the cauldron and a flame covers Tofu Homestar and back to his real old self}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{less interested}'' Yay, Homestar. You're back to your old self again...

'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{singing}'' That costume makes your butt look big.

=== The finale ===

''{The screen fades to black. After a few seconds, one of Homestar's bug drawings appears in the center of the screen. After a few more seconds, the screen fades back to Spooky Forest. All of the characters are standing around. "BACK" and "PLAY AGAIN (SKIP INTRO)" buttons are seen.}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[http://lysy2.archives.nd.edu/cgi-bin/words.exe?Loquentia Loquentia] is a Latin word whose root means to speak or to utter.
*Putting someone's hand in warm water while they sleep is common prank that makes the victim involuntarily urinate.
*[[Wikipedia:pashmina|pashmina]] is the fleece of feral Himalayan goats that is used to make shawls that are refered to by the same name. It is similar to Kashmir and was quite popular in the mid 1990's.
*[[Wikipedia:Denouement|Denouement]] is the resolution part of the story which comes after the climax.

===Trivia===
* 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 after midnight on November 1, Atlanta time. The button on the main page read: ''"it's still halloween!"'', and then when you moved your mouse over it, it changed to: ''"in certain timezones!"''

* 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 ficticious brand of shirt was called a "Gordon Gartrelle," and the original cost Theo $95. "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, and taking the remainder (numbered zero to four). Thus, if you choose 2, 1, 3, 3, and 2, you would get 2 + 1 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 11 / 5 = 2, remainder 1.
**If you get a remainder of 0, you get the Tofu Homestar ending. A remainder of 1 gets the One-eyed Homestar ending. A remainder of 2 yields the Suave Homestar ending. Getting a remainder of 3 produces the Freaky Marzipan ending. Finally, a remainder of 4 presents the Goblin ending.
***Choosing the same option number every time will always result in no remainder.
***The possible ways to achieve a remainder of 1 are to choose options whose sum is {6,11}
***The possible ways to achieve a remainder of 2 are to choose options whose sum is {7,12}
***The possible ways to achieve a remainder of 3 are to choose options whose sum is {8,13}
***The possible ways to achieve a remainder of 4 are to choose options whose sum is {9,14}
*The total number of possible sequences of potion ingredients is 35, or 243.

===Remarks===
* 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.)
* 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.
* All of the [[Spooky_Tree|Spooky Trees]] in the background are the same shape, just in different sizes and orientations.
* If Homestar does a dance for Bubs, he will refer to Homestar as "Shorty", even though (Unless you count Bubs' hat) Homestar is taller than he is.
* Besides stealing Homestar's "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.
* The Flash file appears to have been updated 12 hours after the toon was originally released. The update expanded the Tofu Homestar scene, and added an Easter Egg (The Cheat).

===Inside References===

* Strong Bad mentions that Coach Z didn't dress as a rapper this year. In every other Halloween Toon, Coach Z [[Coach Z#Halloween Costumes|has done so]], although he claims that Theo Huxtable is one of the greatest rappers of our time.
* French Homestar singing "Getting lucky tonight" is a reference to [[Cool Things]]; Strong Sad sings the same phrase.
* The circus peanuts that appear in the Homsar easter egg were also used when Homestar comes to the door in the 2001 Halloween toon [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].
* Pom Pom is wearing the same [[Homestar's Shades|shades]] that [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] usually sports.
* "Each day we die a little more" is Strong Sad's phrase from [[Spin 'n' Say]].
* Strong Sad's "fresh beats" is a reference to [[rampage]], which also featured Strong Sad rapping.

*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!).
*Strong Bad saying "Meka Leka Hi Meka" is from a character called Jambi The Genie (who he is dressed as) from the CBS saturday morning show, ''[[Wikipedia:Pee-wee's Playhouse|Pee-Wee's Playhouse]]''. Actually, the whole quote is supposed to be "Meka Leka Hi Meka Hiney Ho!"

Homestar's character, Moocher, was a member of the group.
*Walter Sobchak is a character from ''[[Wikipedia:The Big Lebowski|The Big Lebowski]]'', played by [[Wikipedia:John Goodman|John Goodman]]. The severed toe with nail polish is a plot device in this movie (Sobchack even says the line, "I can get you a toe" in the movie, as does Coach Z on Pom Pom's behalf). "DONNY, YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR ELEMENT!" (said on behalf of Pom-Pom by Strong Mad) was also a repeated saying of Sobchak's in the movie, aimed towards Theodore Donald 'Donny' Kerabatsos, played by [[Wikipedia:Steve Buscemi|Steve Buscemi]].
*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: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 ''meant'' to say [[Wikipedia:Oliver North|Oliver North]], a prominent figure in the [[Wikipedia:Iran Contra Affair|Iran Contra Affair]].
*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.
*[[Wikipedia:Natalie Imbruglia|Natalie Imbruglia]] is an Australian-born singer and actress.

*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.
* Homestar's shoes are [[Wikipedia:Converse all-stars|Converse all-stars]].
* Bubs' comment about "Stick and move! Stick and move!" is probably a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Mike tyson's punch_out|Mike Tyson's Punch-Out]] video game for the NES, in which [[Wikipedia:Little Mac|Little Mac]]'s coach would advise him to "Stick and move!" between rounds. ([http://members.tripod.com/~excpert_mike/mikespunchoutpage/whattheysay.html reference])
*[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.
*The large POOMP that appears when The Cheat lands may be a reference to ''Mario Kart 64'', where, whenever you made the kart hop, it landed with a similar POOMP. Also, the respective noises The Cheat makes sound like Toad's when he is hit into the air, and when he wins a race.
*Bubs' recommendation of "eye of newt" and "toe of frog" is a quotation from [http://www.bartleby.com/70/4141.html Act IV, Scene 1, line 16] of Shakespeare's ''[[Wikipedia:Macbeth|Macbeth]]'', one of the most famous and influential depictions of witches in Western culture.
*[[Wikipedia:The Golden Girls|The Golden Girls]] was a popular sitcom that originally aired on NBC about four elderly women living in Miami. The show now runs in syndication on [[Wikipedia:Lifetime (TV network)|Lifetime (TV network)]]

Alcnolien:

Ever noticed a little red exclamation point next to an edit listed on the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] page? Did you know you can remove those exclamation points by patrolling edits? The idea is that having a group of people patrolling edits should reduce spam and vandalism.

To mark an '''edit''' as patrolled, click the "diff" link next to an unpatrolled edit, survey the edit to be sure it isn't spam or vandalism, then click the "Mark as patrolled" link near the top right of the page.

It's a different process to mark a '''new page''' patrolled. Since there is no "diff" link, you instead click on the article name. The link to patrol says, "Mark this article as patrolled", and it appears at the bottom right corner of the article.

If you'd like to help out in the effort of patrolling recent changes, put your name on the list below. Adding your name to the list constitutes a commitment of time to patrolling. This page will serve as a hub for patrollers to get in contact with one another. Feel free to list any questionable edits at the bottom of this page to call them to the attention of other patrollers. For an example of how this page might serve our community, see the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:RC patrol|Recent changes patrol]] on Wikipedia.

'''CHEERLEADER:''' ''{holds up a cell phone, from which "the olympics are sooooo dumb!" is coming}'' So, coach just called and said the Olympics are dumb. We'll be there like shareware!

''{Cut (the music stops). A small man in a red hoodie labeled "coach" is standing next to a rather angry-looking burly man labeled "olympic man." Behind him is a banner that says "OLYMPIC RACE," and a cell phone identical to Cheerleader's is on the ground beside the coach.}''

'''COACH:''' I don't know what they're talking about, I swear!

''{Cut again to the Teen Girl Squad (music starts again).}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Whoa! That was about the coolest thing ever! Me gotta see that again.

''{The cartoon rewinds and replays the 360-spin. The "SO GOOOD!" speech bubble has disappeared and doesn't return. At the end, however, What's Her Face is still spinning.}'' Uh-oh. We got a spinner.

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' Wheeeee! ''{the word slides to the right across the text bubble}''

''{A title slide entitled "AT THE PARTY" (imprinted on a cigarette, which a man is smoking) appears. Cut to the boy/girl party. Various characters from previous TGS episodes are attending. Pan right to reveal the TGS sans The Ugly One. What's Her Face is still spinning.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Alright, wallflowers, watch a professional at work... I'm fit to get makey outy all over those uppaclassmen.

''{One of the Scots throws Cheerleader away from them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' CABER TOSSED!!

''{Cut to a spinning What's Her Face}''

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' I really want... some of these chips.

''{Dead Cheerleader falls at the feet of What's Her Face.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Tonk! Ponk!

'''SCOT:''' ''{off-screen}'' BAGH! Only 23 metres!

''{Cut to the bowl of chips. The warrior jumps out of the chips.}''

'''WARRIOR:''' Corn chips are no place for a mighty warrior!

''{The samurai's naginata digs into What's Her Face as she rotates, and the upper half of What's-Her-Face's body falls off.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{grinding sound}'' LATHE'D!

'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' Oww! I hope they have those corn chips in heaven!

''{Cut to So And So and Tompkins, playing a Game Boy.}''

'''SO AND SO:''' Say, Tompkins, Brett Bretterson and I are Splitsville, so I'm lookin for a little rebound action!

'''TOMPKINS:''' Hecks no! I got Bowser on the ropes!

''{A Koopa shell comes out of the Game Boy and strikes So And So in the face.}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' ''{the word "pØwned!!" appears}'' Puh-owned! Or however you say that...

''{Cut to The Ugly One's Father, standing at a microphone, speaking to the party crowd.}''

'''MANOLIOS UGLY ONE:''' OK, party people, get ready to give it up for my little girl on her sweet someteenth birthday... and remember, if you're looking for low prices on used and broken electronics, don't forget... Manolios Ugly One's Lectro-Pawn!

'''TOMPKINS:''' ''{offscreen}'' p4wned! ''{said "peh-awned"}''

'''MANOLIOS UGLY ONE:''' And here she is... THE UGLY ONE!

''{Cut to The Ugly One, wearing a red dress and ''much'' more attractive than before. The music is ended with the scratching of a record.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Did ''I'' draw that new hotness?

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' Thanks for coming to my party everyone! Now let's get it on like Diddy Kong!

''{All people at the party, including The Ugly One, begin dancing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ARROWED II! ELECTRIC—

''{Arrow'd Guy appears on the screen, wearing a tuxedo and holding a diamond ring in a box. He has two spikes on his back, a bad case of razor burn, and what appears to be a mound of corn in his breast pocket.}''

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}
===Explanations===
*"24 great-smelling colors" refers to scented markers like the [http://www.sanford.com/sanford/consumer/jhtml/new-product/productdetail.jhtml?attributeId=SNATT20025&nrProductId=SN20072 Mr. Sketch] series.
*"pØwned" is a variation of Internet slang meaning "owned". "[[Wikipedia:Pwn|Pwned]]" has numerous pronunciations, with popular ones including "owned" or "poned". Along the same lines, "P4wned" would also be [[Wikipedia:Leet|leetspeak]] for "pawned" as in pawn shop.
*The [[Wikipedia: Caber toss|Caber toss]] is a traditional Scottish sport, usually involving a log of specific weight. However, the remark "BAGH! Only 23 metres!" does not apply to the sport, for distance is not the object, rather how straight the throw is after it lands end-over-end.
*A [[Wikipedia:lathe|lathe]] is a tool used to create objects with [[wikipedia:rotational symmetry#Rotational symmetry with respect to any angle|cylindrical symmetry]] such as table legs. It works by rotating the subject while a cutting or smoothing tool is applied, evenly removing material around its circumference.
*[[Wikipedia:Clip show|Clip shows]], weddings, new babies, and characters getting killed off are staples of anniversary episodes and are generally considered signs of a TV show [[Wikipedia:Jumping the shark|jumping the shark]]. Such episodes also reprise characters and themes from the show as a whole (this issue features a great number of minor characters from previous issues). In the '60s, some shows, such as ''[[IMDb:tt0055662|The Beverly Hillbillies]]'', were thought to have jumped the shark when they made the switch from black and white to color.
*The "Sweet Someteen" birthday is a play on [[Wikipedia:Sweet sixteen (birthday)|sweet sixteen]].
*[[Wikipedia:Shareware|Shareware]] is generally software that an individual creates and grants distribution rights to for free (accompanied by a request for payment), with the intention that recipients will like it and share it with other people, increasing its visibility and potential profitability.
*The 3 "X's" on the beer barrel surrounded by the Scots are marks that once signified the thoroughness of distillation of [[Wikipedia:moonshine|moonshine]], but now have come to be synonymous with any type of alcohol.

===Remarks===

*This cartoon uses a faster [[Wikipedia:Frame rate|frame rate]] than any of the other ones before due to the 3-D sequence; this makes Strong Bad's makeout sequence seem a bit more smooth than the normal animation.
*If The Ugly One's dad's name is Manolios Ugly One, then "Ugly One" is actually her surname; this calls to mind So and So's step-mom being named [[Mrs. So-and-so-erson]].
*This toon has more characters in it than any other toon to date.
*The music at the party is a dance mix version of the TGS main theme song.
*Even though it says in "24 great smelling colors", there are 43 colors.
*Strong Bad drew the "It's Over!" page on the back of the making-out page (you can see it reversed through the page, which is crumpled).
*This is the first time we've actually seen Strong Bad kiss something.
*When Strong Bad places the paper of himself greeting The Ugly One over the ARROW'D II page, you can faintly see the ARROW'D page beneath it.
*This toon, the 10th issue special, was released on October 10, or 10/10.
*So And So's teeth are only pink in her introductory shot.
*This is the first Teen Girl Squad issue to take us outside the paper and into the regular Homestar Runner universe (not counting the [[Wikipedia:frame story|frame story]] in the email [[comic]]).
*The speech balloons for the Mighty Warrior's first phrase, the Coach's phrase over the cellphone and the mega "SO GOOD!" are opaque, the lines on the paper aren't visible inside them.

===Goofs===
*"Vicious" is misspelled as "viscious" in So and So's description.
*When Manolios says "give it up," his speech bubble says "give up."
*Near the end, in the "real life" scene, we see the "ARROWED II" paper on the desk. However, it is missing the "II."
*In the Easter Egg, when Manolios Ugly One is waving his arms around, a gap opens and closes repeatedly in his beard.

[[Image:Babydaddy.PNG|100px|thumb|Oops.]]

===Glitches===
*In the rotational scenes, Cheerleader's ''baby daddy'' floats off of her dress. This is probably because of a shortcut taken which involves decorations such as eyes rotating around spherical objects, such as heads. Masks are then added to cause the eyes to disappear when they leave the head area. Apparently they forgot to add this mask to Cheerleader's dress.

===Inside References===
* "ARROWED II!" is a reference to "ARROWED!" on [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].
* "[[Minor_Teen_Girl_Squad_Characters#Brett_Bretterson|Brett Bretterson]]" is So and So's imaginary boyfriend in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 4]].
* The three scotsmen saying, "ACHGH! ACHGH! ACHGH!" is a reference to [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]], where three of the girls say "word" and "a'ight" in the same fashion, and a similar occurence in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 5|Issue 5]], with George Washington, Abe Lincoln, and Henry Rollins all saying "woot" in sequence.

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Nick at Nite|Nick at Nite]] (misspelled as "Night" in the toon) is a programming block of [[Wikipedia:Nickelodeon (TV Channel)|Nickelodeon]] that runs "classic" TV like ''[[Wikipedia:Cheers|Cheers]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:The Cosby Show|The Cosby Show]]'', while [[Wikipedia:WB Television Network|The WB]] is a network historically aimed at teens, with shows such as ''[[Wikipedia:Dawson's Creek|Dawson's Creek]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Gilmore Girls|Gilmore Girls]]''.
*[[Wikipedia:Bowser|Bowser]] and [[Wikipedia:Diddy Kong|Diddy Kong]] are [[Wikipedia:Nintendo|Nintendo]] characters. Bowser is the king of [[Wikipedia:Koopa|Koopas]], which is why a Koopa shell hit So And So.
*Tompkins is playing the original 1989 [[Wikipedia:Game Boy|Game Boy]] model. However, Bowser never appeared in a traditional game for the original Game Boy.
*The grinding noise Strong Bad uses when the warrior "lathe"s Whats Her Face is strikingly similar to the noise made by electric can openers, which spin the can slowly in a similar fashion.
*"ARROWED II! Electric..." is a reference to the movie [[Wikipedia:Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo|''Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo'']]. It has become frequently referenced as an example of facetious follow-ups to popular films.
*The "spinner" gag refers to glitches in physics simulation used in CGI animation, such as when certain objects fail to stop moving. Examples can be seen in the DVD special features of the computer-animated film ''[[IMDb:tt0198781|Monsters, Inc.]]''
*Henry Rollins is coloured bright red when he is shown socializing at the party. This is a reference to the make-up he wore in the video for ''[[Wikipedia:The Rollins Band|The Rollins Band]]'' song called "Liar."

Talk:Strong Bad is a Bad Guy

Alcnolien — Thu, 20 Oct 2005 00:27:30 GMT

Alcnolien: /* Uncle Sam */

== The Field? ==
I know it's a little early on to be worrying about this, but I've gone ahead and labeled the place where SB, SM and The Cheat are as [[The Field]], although I'm doubting that it is. New page? Label it "A Field" without linking? Two cents? {{User:FireBird/sig}} 15:39, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:Well, it looks like the field to me, just without bushes. The entire art style in this toon is a naturally a little off. I think it's the field, but I wouldn't care if you called it something different. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 15:48, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
::I'm for keeping it as [[The Field]].-{{User:Kookykman/sig}}

:'''Second'''-I also think that it should be kept as [[The Field]].[[User:Anonomys|Anonomys]] 23:43, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

::'''Also Second'''-It should remain so.[[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]

== Easter Eggs? ==

Since we haven't gotten the direct Flash file yet, I can't use the seek bar to find Easter eggs. By the looks of it, I don't think there are any, but our good annonymous IP who crated the page apparently says there is ([{Strong Sad]] (Eater egg)). Any other way? {{User:FireBird/sig}} 15:56, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

:I fount the Flash file! Yay! http://www.homestarrunner.com/badguy.swf {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 16:01, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

::w00t. <s>By the looks of it, though, there are no Easter eggs.</s> Ah, we found one. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 16:07, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

:::Two, actually. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 17:24, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

== A Revelation for Homestar? ==

I'm not sure if this is important, but is this the first time that someone has mentioned to Homestar (or Homestar has admitted to himself) that he doesn't have arms? I know Strong Bad has mentioned his armlessness before, but always when alone and not within earshot of Homestar himself. I dunno if this counts as an important bit of data or not, but I just wanted to throw it out. [[User:Rocketlex|Rocketlex]] 16:21, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:I think that this is an important fact too. I'm going to [[STUFF]] it.--{{User:Kookykman/sig}} 20:25, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
::In [[fingers]], it was implied that Homestar knows about his situation. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:58, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:::Actually, the 'implied' part in fingers is part of Strongbad's imagination no? (as shown by the dream bubbles and such). So it'd be little more then Strongbad again saying to himself that Homestar is harmless. [[User:Ghilz|Ghilz]] 22:44, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Actually, my outlook on Homestar's "arms" are that they are obviously invisible. He carries things all the time. In fact, sometimes it is questionable about the invisible arms since in The Show, he can hold the microphone, hold the cards, and shuffle them at the same time. But all these prove that he has invisible arms.--[[User:Martin925|Martin925]] 20:44, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:It almost seems that he can telekinetically move anything within a set range, as characters walking by (or crowding aroud) him never seem to run into his arms.={{User:Kookykman/sig}}
::I agree, it'd also explain Old Timey Homestar has not only no arms, but no shoulder sockets for his invisible arms to be linked to. [[User:Ghilz|Ghilz]] 22:44, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:::It could be that he is blissfully unaware of the fact that he has "no arms", much like he is unaware of the fact that his pants are invisible (or nonexistent.) [[User:24.138.54.79|24.138.54.79]] 01:51, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
::::I too have always thought telekinesis. Invisible arms is a tad elaborate, and telekinesis would explain how he is able to hold a microphone, hold the cards, and shuffle the cards all at the same time. It's not like Homestar has a really powerful mind and thus is able to use telekinesis, it's just his way of making up for having no arms. Though, alternately, I like the idea that because Homestar is so unaware of his lack of arms, he is able to pick things up without having arms, i.e., he "forgets" his lack of arms and acts like he can pick things up, and it works for some reason. ("How did you walk through that wall?" "I was able to because I forgot to use my laws of physics.") --[[User:Der Pepper|Der Pepper]]
:I have always seen two (2) possable answers to this. one (1) is that he has (at least) four (4) invisable arms. two (2) is that he has limited telikenisis. I also think that this has always been implied.-[[User:Anonomys|Anonomys]] 23:49, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I think telikenisis because of the whole holding more things than possible and, and I exclamate this not to hurt anyones fealings, his shirt clearly has no holes for any invisible arms to come out of!.--[[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]

== Don't be a Hater ==

After listening twice, I think the lyrics actually say "Strong Bad ''paints'' Marzipan", as opposed to "hates". I distinctly hear an N sound in there. This would also match up well with [[origins]], a previous time when Strong Bad spray painted Marzipan. What say the rest of you? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:I hear an "h" sound in the beginning. It's hard to tell, though. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 17:52, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

::Both make perfect since, so it's really just a matter of listening. On that note, I do hear an "h" sound, as well. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 17:55, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:::I hear '''paint'''. We could make a footnote, like we did with [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]].-{{User:Kookykman/sig}}
::::Ugh, not another footnote. Let's get some more opinions here before even thinking about going down that road. I heard "hates," by the way. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:59, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

:As all the other lyrics match up exactly with the illustrations, "paints" seems more plausible.-{{User:Kookykman/sig}}
::I'm hearin' "hates" dude. [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]
::Hearing "hates" here too [[User:Ghilz|Ghilz]]
:::LOL—I heard "Strong Bad '''is''' Marzipan on my first listen! That had me kinda confused. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 23:15, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
::I heard it three times, it is very faint, but I am pretty sure I heard '''hates'''. I am 100% sure that they did not say ''paint'', as the "p" sound was nowhere to be heard. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 01:24, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

'''Hates'''. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 10:02, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I also hear "hates." {{User:Trey56/sig}} 13:16, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

'''Hates'''. --[[User:B|B]] 18:14, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Just to clarify, I also vote Hates for Town Council. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 18:17, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I hear "hates" too. Besides, that makes more sense considering that Strong Bad is spraying black paint over a picture of Marzipan, as in defacing it. "Paints" just doesn't make any sense whatsoever to me.--[[User:Spanky The Dolphin|Spanky The Dolphin]] 23:32, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

:I vote "hates"-[[User:Anonomys|Anonomys]] 23:46, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I say '''hates''' {{User:Dantheburgerking/sig}}
Will go with "hates" {{User:The Paper/sig}} 15:32, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

'''VERDICT:''' The "paints" proposal was overwhelmingly declined, 18–2. The votes and arguments have not been moved.

== Tricked Out Van ==

I figured that the van in the music video could reference the tricked out van Strong Bad mentioned in the [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]]. What do you think? -- [[User:TaranchulaVamp15|TaranchulaVamp15]] 12:17, 17 Oct 2005
:That certainly sounds plausible to me. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:what do you mean by "it's already there"?-[[User:Anonomys|Anonomys]] 23:50, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
==Song visuals==

Why is it, that with things such as [[Experimental Film]] and [[rock opera]], we split the music from the visuals, but here we put 'em all in the transcript? Is there some sort of standard at all? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 17:26, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

:It's because those two have several '''minutes''' of nothing but visuals and lyrics. This one is pretty short so the visuals can be insite the transcript. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:29, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

::Yeah, we generally split them for large ones. There's no set standard, though. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 17:53, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

:::I'm not really sure I like it that way. I think we should do it one way or the other for consistency. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 17:55, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
::::Well, the visuals usually get in the way of simply reading the song, but they are important for a knowledge base that collects as much info as possible. I think it's fine the way it is, but if we had to choose one way or the other, I'd go with a seperate page for visuals. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 20:03, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

==Dooj?==

Anyone know what the rocket laucher "Dooj" is about?
:It could just be a sound effect.-{{User:Kookykman/sig}}
::I think "dooj" may be a variant (or the actual spelling of) the word "doosh" Strong Bad uses occasionally. (See [[Random Toon]] and [[TROGDOR!]]) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::Don't forget [[The System Is Down (song)]]! — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 20:39, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

:It's a Short. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Also, check the main page. Look under "back to our roots". If that doesn't work, do a hard refresh and try again. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

== Of Snake Ladies, Nagas, and Warcraft ==

Snake/Human hybrids are, of course, not constrained to Warcraft and date back to Indian and Asian mythology. In fact, the name Naga isn't even constrained to Warcraft and denotes a wide variety of snake like mythical creatures in southern Asia. I propose the dropping of that particular reference and letting the Cheat's snake lady just be a product of his imagination rather than yet another spurious reference.
:I agree. I've never even heard of Warcraft, but I ''have'' heard of nagas before. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

I agree, I have heard of Warcraft, but I also remember them in Final Fantasy games before Warcraft...Hmmm, FFII and III were SNES games as was Mario Paint...reference? Probably not.--[[User:Slackerboy|Slackerboy]] 22:38, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

:My guess is that they got the reference from all those video games you guys mentioned. It might be more of a referene to the genre in general. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 01:25, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I think it speaks to the remarkably limited scope of knowledge possessed by the people who visit this site :) -[[User:Jesselangham|JesseLangham]] 18:25, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

==Bad Guy!==
Considering this is a toon described "Going back to our roots", Isn't the entire basis of the toon is a reference to how StrongBad was more of a villian earlier on in the series? Maybe? [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]
P.S.
Isn't StrongBad bouncing on his Head a reference to the SBEmail [[funny]]? [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]

:Yeah—reasserting his identity now that he's become the vulnerable, personable, lovable scamp who charmed his way into the hearts of a nation. No, seriously, you're right. (Not that it should go in the article, but good observation.) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 23:20, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

:I thought about that, but he really doesn't act like a villain. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 23:18, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:I totally agree with that, 20X6 GEM. I was about to leave a similar note here. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:27, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
:Possible, but I'm thinking it is props to the [[Super NES|first Homestar Runner cartoon ever made]], which was done in Mario Paint, as has already been referencecd. Even though Strong Bad's vilinitude is not what it used to be, he's still the antagonist, and this short doesn't have the feel of, say, [[Marshmallow's Last Stand|Marshmallow's Last Stand (toon)]]. --[[User:B|B]] 18:21, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

:Reference, no. Interesting, though! —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 23:20, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

I think it was very interesting. Does anyone else think so? --{{User:The 386/sig}} 01:02, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I seriously think the bouncing on his head was a reference to when he did it in "Funny"! "Liko Liko Liko!!!" [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]
:it sadens me to see how off-topic people can get in a message bored-type thing that allows you to edit.-[[User:Anonomys|Anonomys]] 23:56, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

== Pic's ==

== Pipe or Bat ==

In the transcript, it says Strong Bad hits the muffler with a bat (it ''is'' brown). Later, in the Inside references, it is called a pipe (which ''has'' been used before. Which is it? My vote is pipe, given the inside reference. Others? --[[User:B|B]] 18:29, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
:It's so pixellated it's hard to tell, even zoomed in, but:
#although I can't say for sure it's perfectly cylindrical (i.e. not tapered like a bat), I think it would be even harder to say that it's tapered;
#if it is a bat, it has some kind of dealie at the end, like lines painted on it. I think those are supposed to be pipe threads.
#Strong Bad's holding it right in the middle (although that isn't very efficient no matter what it is). —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 18:45, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
::I'd say it's a pipe for three reasons: A. a pipe/muffler combo has been used before, 2. a bat would be hard to dent a muffler with, and D. the reasons AbdiViklas already said. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::I put bat in the transcript because it was brown and I didn't look at it that closely. A pipe seems reasonable too though. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 19:31, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

==soap==
when sb mentions soap, it's a reference to dove brand soap.-stretchyman

Um...Why do you think it's Dove? I think you're stretching it, stretchyman (ooo...bad joke). Can you find any evidence that it's Dove? [[User:Brightstar Shiner|Brightstar Shiner]] 20:27, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

dove is the only type of soap that strong bad knows about.-stretchyman

How do you know?- [[User:Jhonka|Jhonka]]

one of sb's e-mail titles start with "d" for dove! that proves it!-stretchyman

Please leave the comedy to [[The Brothers Chaps]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:37, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

what do you mean? i'm serious!-stretchyman

I don't know about you guys, but I think stretchyman needs more legit proof. Why don't you email TBC about this and see what they think? [[User:Brightstar Shiner|Brightstar Shiner]] 20:22, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

man, do you know how many freakin' e-mails that they getta a day? there not gonna answer an e-mail about soap! come on!

Is there any reason why the Real-World reference for Uncle Sam has been removed? It seems legitamate. I don't think a wikipedia link in the Inside references works. [[User:Alcnolien|Alcnolien]] 23:54, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Oh, crud. Why did the ''real'' Uncle Sam get removed? It worries me. --{{User:The 386/sig}} 00:16, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

''{The scene opens with Homestar Runner at Bubs' Concession Stand, finalizing a transaction.}''

'''BUBS:''' ...and 16 cents is your change. ''{drops the change on the counter}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa! Free money!

'''BUBS:''' So, what are you gettin' into tonight, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. Marzipan and those are gonna try to summon the spirit of her dead ficus plant, but that sounds dumb and boring, so I'll probably just end up trick-or-treatin'.

'''BUBS:''' What about Strong Bad? What's he doin'?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno. You can never tell with that guy.

''{Strong Bad approaches the concession stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ok, Bubs. I'll have 90 rolls of toilet paper and 60 dozen eggs. ''{looks around}'' ...And a corn dog.

'''BUBS:''' I got it all packed up for you in the wagon round back.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thanks, pally.

''{Strong Bad and Bubs go around back.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''What'' is he ''up'' to?

talkings by matt and missy

MU-HU-HA-HA</pre>

'''MARZIPAN:''' Now Strong Sad, I need to make contact with Credenza. Homestar watered him with Yoo-Hoo while I was in Miami and he died and now I really miss him.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ok. I'll need a photograph of the deceased and two box Oreos.

''{cut to Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat in their costumes with their supplies for the evening}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, this is gonna be so great you guys. Everybody's houses and pumpkins and trees won't know what hit 'em. This is gonna be great!

''{The King of Town walks up.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Hey, guys. What's up? What are we doing here? Making omelettes? Going to the bathroom? I'm cool with that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get out of here, old man! We're gonna be pelting people like you and houses like your castle with these eggs.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' C'mon! Let me hang out!

'''STRONG BAD:''' No way! Forget it! C'mon, los dudes. Let's go hit Marzipan's gazebo ''{pronounced gayz-boh}''.

''{they all leave and the King of Town chases after them.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I'm dressed to Hamburgle... Robble! Robble!

''{cut to Homestar, Pom Pom, Coach Z, and Bubs standing around in their costumes}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I bet I get...a million pounds of candy this year. A million pounds!

'''BUBS:''' Whatever. I'm goin' for quality over quantity.

'''COACH Z:''' Same here, Bubsy. I'm holdin' out for cookies with gold-plated chocolate chorps!

''{Bubs sighs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' We'll see about that. C'mon, Pom Pom. Let's go find some houses giving away lead candies!

''{Cut to a view of the sky.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Let 'er rip! ''{The Cheat grunts as many rolls of toilet paper are thrown into the air. The camera pans back to show that The Stick is covered, while Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat stand nearby.}'' Yes! All will tremble at the crack of our eggs and the hush of our 2-ply toilet papers.

''{The King of Town walks up again.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I know how to use toilet paper. Let me try.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Listen... ahem... Your Highness, we're about to egg the everloving crap out of your castle. It just won't be any fun if you're standing there!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Yeah it will! On account o' I'm totally cool!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quickly and quietly}'' No you're not. ''{in a normal voice}'' But we're prepared to give you a dozen of these eggs and let you wash it down with a roll of toilet paper in exchange for you leaving us alone for the rest of eternity.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' It's a deal! ''{The King runs off, taking his eggs and toilet paper with him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's what I thought.

''{cuts to a door opening to reveal Coach Z and Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' What the? Oh, I remember this house from a couple of years ago.

'''COACH Z:''' Track or Trort!

'''BUBS:''' C'mon. man.

'''COACH Z:''' Ok. Trick or Treat.

''{At this point you can choose what candy to give them by dragging it onto them.}''

==== Swedish Fish ====
'''COACH Z:''' Oh, the Swordish Forsh!

'''BUBS:''' What did I just tell you?

'''COACH Z:''' Cut me some slack. It's a crowd-pleaser.

''{door closes}''

==== Delicious "Bag" ====
'''COACH Z:''' What is that? One of them old school candies? I got some old school for you'z. ''{rapping}'' This year Halloween falls on a weekend. Me and Geto Boys are trick-or treat-en'. Robbin' little kids for bags.

'''BUBS:''' Uh... he doesn't really mean we've been out robbin' little kids. ''{door begins to close}'' No, wait-- ''{slam}''

==== Zagnut ====
'''BUBS:''' Aw, ZAG-nut!

'''COACH Z:''' Yeah. Aw, Zagnut!

'''BUBS:''' No, no. Aw, ZAAAG-nut!

'''COACH Z:''' Right, right. Aww, ZAAAAG-nut!

'''BOTH:''' AWWWWWW— ''{slam}''

''{You can also choose nothing by clicking anywhere on the screen, but not giving them a treat. If you do this, the door closes, and reopens with Stinkoman dressed as Speed Racer.}''

'''STINKOMAN:''' Check out my new cosplay! ''{pronounced cohs-PLAY}'' I'm a demon on wheels!

==== Zagnut ====
'''STINKOMAN:''' I can't eat that kind of bar because I'm in training. Don't you have of the other kinds of bars? You know...energy bars...or power bars...or training bars?

==== Prawn ====
'''STINKOMAN:''' I love prawns. Simple as that! ''{dances}''

==== Jar labeled "Akira" ====
'''STINKOMAN:''' Eh. Ew. Aah! Nnn! Eh! Ew! Ahhhhh! ''{Giant tentacles and veins start coming out his body where his right arm should be.}'' That tickles.

''{cuts to Pom Pom and Homestar walking along}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wow, Pom Pom. Did you know that lady? Why did she give you a hundred bucks? Alls I got was a dang old Bit o' Honey.

''{they stop at The Poopsmith, dressed up, who is sticking his shovel in and out of a pile of [[Whatsit|you-know-what]]}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, Pom Pom. You knock this time. ''{Pom Pom does nothing}'' Fine. I'll ring the doorbell. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! ''{He rocks his head back and forth as if he were banging it on a door, or as if his head were a bell}'' The Poopsmith! Trick or treat! ''{The Poopsmith offers some of his dung. Pom Pom bubbles something and leaves}'' Suit yourself. More for me. Lay it on me, Poop-Stick!

''{cuts to Strong Sad in his seance}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Credenza! Credwenzia! Crewdenz—

'''MARZIPAN:''' It's been two hours and we haven't heard anything. Credenza must hate me.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, no! Maybe I just need to do this some more. Credenza!!!

''{they hear a knocking sound}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' What's that? That must be him.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yup. That sounds like a ficus.

''{it's Homestar Runner on the porch}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Let me in. ''{hits the door with his head}'' Da, Da, Da. Let me in!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{opening the door}'' Hey, you're not a dead ficus plant!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're so smart. I'm Homestar Runn—

'''MARZIPAN:''' Get in here, you guys. You're gonna scare away Credenza.

''{Cut to the King of Town, eating the last of his toilet paper.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Doo! Not bad for a first course. I'm still hungry.

''{cuts back to everyone at Marzipan's house}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I told you I'd get a million lbs ''{pronounced LIBS}'' of candy.

'''BUBS:''' That sure doesn't smell like candy.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, you're right! Poopsmith? Did you give me some bum candy?

'''BUBS:''' ''{snickers}'' He sure did!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Any minute now. ''{electrical disturbances occur}'' Oooo!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Whoa! Electrical disturbances. There's definitely a powerful spirit present.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Do you mean, like, the spirit of giving?

''{Outside, the King of Town is eating a string of candy corn lights}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oot oh. oot ooh.

''{Marzipan walks up}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' You've got to be kidding me! Stop doing that right now.

''{she goes back in}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Stop what? I don't do nothing!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Stupid, stupid King of Town. He gets on my nerv—''{loud banging occurs}'' What the crap!?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I think this is it!

''{outside, Strong Mad is punching the side of the house with a roll of toilet paper over and over}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' WAH! WAH! WAH! WAH!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{sitting on throne made from stacks of toilet paper rolls}'' Uhhh, that's not really the conventional way to roll a house, but, uh, whatever works!

''{From inside, we see that Strong Mad punches a hole in the side of the house.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' HIGGINS!!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh. Hi, Strong Mad. ''{mumbles}'' Stupid. This is stupid. He ate the candy corn lights.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa. What's going on in here? You guys having one of those stupid moron parties or something?

'''STRONG SAD:''' OK. Everybody say it with me this time.

'''ALL except STRONG BAD, HOMESTAR RUNNER AND THE POOPSMITH:''' Credenza! 
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' This is boring!

'''ALL except STRONG BAD, HOMESTAR RUNNER AND THE POOPSMITH:''' Credenza! 
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Witches' brew!

''{the lights go out}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Whoa. The lights went out.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa. Magic.

'''BUBS:''' Yup. I've dealt with this before. Lights: definitely out.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And somebody's a-grabbin' a-my butt.

''{the lights come on and there is a ficus plant on the table}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Credenza! You're alive!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Saints be praised! Credenza's alive!

'''STRONG SAD AND MARZIPAN:''' Yay!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...and Strong Bad got to throw toilet paper at stuff!

'''STRONG BAD, STRONG MAD AND THE CHEAT:''' Yay!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:'''... and I got a million pounds of candy! ''{No one cheers.}'' ''{quietly, to himself}'' Yay. ''{to the group}'' ...and the goblin showed up dressed up like up a Santaman.

''{We see The Goblin, who dances. His customary music plays as he does.}''

'''ALL:''' Yay!

== Easter Eggs ==
*When you can give Bubs and Coach Z candy, any mouse click that doesn't result in candy being given results in Stinkoman appearing, dressed as Speed Racer—see the transcript.

*When Homestar asks "Did you give me some bum candy?" you can click on The Poopsmith's head to see Homsar's secret costume, Slash from Guns N Roses.
:'''HOMSAR:''' I'm open for interpretations!

*At the end when everyone is standing around, click the rightmost candycorn light (the one that's not lit) to see a bonus video! See "External Links" to view this video.
:''{Puppet Homestar is at a tennis court dressed as John McEnroe, holding a tennis racket.}''

:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Seriously! You can't be serious! That ball was on the line! ''{taps ground with his racket}'' Come on! I don't believe this. ''{he throws his racket on the ground and storms off.}''

*After the cartoon is over you can click on some people to make things happen. These people are:
**'''The Poopsmith'''

*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Cool. Flaming Poopsmith.
*:''{The Poopsmith reappears from the left.}''

*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, see, I only saw Treacherous 1 and 2, so, um, I wouldn't know.

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*When Homestar says "I told you I'd get a million libs of candy", he is trying to pronounce the abbreviation of pounds: "lbs".
*[[Wikipedia:Cosplay|Cosplay]] (as mentioned in Stinkoman's greeting) is a form of dress-up done usually at anime conventions, where people dress up as anime characters they enjoy.

===Trivia===
*Bit o' Honey, [[Wikipedia:Zagnut|Zagnut]], and [[Wikipedia:Swedish fish|Swedish Fish]] are actual candies.
*The sound the King of Town makes when he eats the candy corn lights is the same as when he eats the food flung at him in the game [[Revenge of the King]].
*There are a total of ten easter eggs in this cartoon, even more than the Strong Bad Email [[flashback]].

===Remarks===
*When Homestar says "someone is grabbing my butt," it is most likely Bubs, since he is right behind Homestar. Or his imagination.
**His line may be a reference to [[1 step ahead]].
*This Halloween episode carries on the tradition in which a secret scene with Homsar is activated by interacting with the Poopsmith somehow.
*In every other Halloween episode (except the first, for the obvious reason that Homsar didn't exist yet), activating Homsar causes him to appear with the rest of the group at the end. This episode is the exception—whether or not you activate Homsar or Stinkoman, they do not appear at the end.
*This is one of the first times that Coach Z demonstrates his ability to speak without his trademark Upper Midwestern accent.
*The rings around The Cheat's right "foot" (part of his Izzy costume) may suggest that this portion of his anatomy is actually a tail.
*When Homestar and Pom Pom are walking together, you can see that Homestar's wig shakes, but Pom Pom's necklace stays in place.

===Goofs===
*When The Cheat and The Brothers Strong leave The Stick after their deal with the King of Town, The Cheat's torch reappears in his hand/paw.

===Inside References===
*The Cheat's costume refers to the first Homestar Runner book, which was written during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta when Mike Chapman was a light rigger for the Australian telecasts of those games.
*Strong Bad references the first Halloween toon when he says "I'm Carmen freakin Miranda!" and the second Halloween toon when he says "I'm Carmen freakin Sandiego!"
*The Delicious "Bag" is a reference to [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]].
*This toon marks the fourth time [[Witches' Brew]], an inside joke of tremendous proportions, has been mentioned.
*[[Van Buren]]'s face is on the coins given to Homestar at the beginning, marking yet another relatively-famed inside joke.
*Though now focused on the King of Town's castle, Strong Bad previously wanted to "egg the everloving crap" out of Marzipan's house in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 7]].
*Bubs' line "I remember this house from a couple of years ago.", as well as the whole scene, is an obvious reference to [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]].
*Strong Mad also had visible chest hairs in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (toon)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]].
*Stinkoman's dance makes the same sound as [[Pan Pan]]'s eating/talking sound.

===Real-World References===
*The jar you give to Stinkoman is a reference to the animé film "[[Wikipedia:Akira (film)|Akira]]", where a similar thing happened to the character named Tetsuo.
*[[Wikipedia:Yoo-Hoo|Yoo-Hoo]] is the name of a chocolate soft drink that is popular in America.
*Coach Z's mention of Strong Sad's beautiful house and beautiful wife is a reference to the Talking Heads' song "Once in a Lifetime".
*Coach Z's old school rap is the beginning of the fourth verse of the Geto Boys' "Mind Playin Tricks On Me".
*The line "I'm a demon on wheels!" from Stinkoman's intro is taken from the [[Wikipedia:Speed Racer|Speed Racer]] theme song.
* In the scene where Strong Sad is chanting Credenza's name by himself with Marzipan in the room, his voice sounds like it's reversed. This is a reference to certain scenes in the Twin Peaks series, where scenes were filmed with the actors speaking their lines backwards, then played in reverse. The lines ended up being "reversed" twice, making them understandable, but sounding very creepy.
* The flaming maneuver the Poopsmith does when you click on him is M. Bison's Psycho Crusher attack from [[Wikipedia:Street Fighter|Street Fighter]].
*When Strong Mad bashes a hole in the house he yells "Higgins!!" This is a reference to the show [[Wikipedia:Magnum, P.I.|Magnum, P.I.]] Higgins was Tom Selleck's boss in that show.
*The line Homestar says to Coach Z at the end of the toon, "I really like your Wesley Snakes outfit.", is likely a reference to [[Wikipedia:Wesley Snipes|Wesley Snipes]], the actor who played the character Blade in all 3 [[Wikipedia:Blade_(movie)|Blade]] movies.
*"Robble! Robble!" was the Hamburglar's catch phrase.
*The photo of Marzipan's dead plant that appears in the introduction and during the seance resembles "Chuck the Plant" from various LucasArts Adventure Games.
*[[Wikipedia:El DeBarge|El DeBarge]] and [[Wikipedia:Terence Trent D'Arby|Terence Trent D'Arby]] are 80's r&b artists, and [[Wikipedia:Miami Sound Machine|Miami Sound Machine]] is an 80's salsa band best known for their lead singer Gloria Estefan.

Talk:Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level -0

Alcnolien — Thu, 20 Oct 2005 00:00:38 GMT

Alcnolien: entire page slashed

== Cleanup ==

This page needs:

*Any POV removed.
*Sentence mechanics fixed.
*Conformed section titles.
*Similar formatting to previous walkthroughs.</s>

—[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 12:21, 1 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I'm ZerosVIII, I made the Walkthrough right before registering an account (I was an Anonymous user at the time I made it)
I apologize for any errors made while I made that, as well as anything I did that didn't follow the usual walkthrough format.

--ZerosVIII

:That's okay. To quote someone from Wikipedia, "You don't have to make an article perfect, just make it better." There are other people who would love to clean it up. Thank you for your walkthrough. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 12:36, 1 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Ok, I've just been in there and did a major edit; I hope this helps everyone. ZerosVIII, you wrote a great walkthrough, and you've really helped out the wiki.

I'm leaving the cleanup tag in there until someone else gets a chance to look at this. If anyone sees something that I've missed, you know what to do.

--[[User:Teplotaxl|Teplotaxl]] 13:52, 1 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Name Consensus ==

I was just wondering, should we call "NEGATORY" level 8 or level -0? Because different people are calling it different things, and that could confuse people. I'd say that -0 is probably the better of the two choices. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 16:15, 1 August 2005 (BST)

:I vote for -0. It's not called Level 8 anywhere except the internal code and the main page. It's called -0 everywhere in the game so that's what we should call it here. That sort of reasoning has been used often before, and I think it makes sense. {{User:phlip/sig}} 17:06, 1 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:I vote '''8''' '''comment'''there is already a poll for this on the central page for the stinkoman game.'''another comment''' the manuel calls it level 8

==what the crap?==
did anyone else notice the wierd advertisement that spoke one time durig that level?it said like:"you can get a XBOX 3 and a plastation 5 for only somethin' dollars bla bla bla"and i forget the rest, and i check my bar on the bottom of my screen, no pop ups but it only happend once......any coments?

That's some spyware you've got there, I'm afraid. I remember one time I was infected: at random intervals, a disembodied voice would whisper "Carl's Jr.". --v

thanks for that info v. i have spyware remover anyway..

==WEIRDED OUT!==
I thought level -0 was TOTALLY WEIRD! And so did everybody else I believe.-{{User:Gordon 584.sig}}

:I think the levels are a bit confusing, and the fact that you can't hurt the boss's 'Tants is kind of wierd, but I think that the only really messed up part is the level number. -0 isn't a number, and the first half of the level is usually .1 more, the second half .2 more, and the boss .3 more. It should have been level -1, and sections -0.9, -0.8, and -0.7. [[User:DanielLC|Daniel]] 22:48, 2 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Shadowy Figure ==

Obviously, the shadowy figure is 20X6 Coach Z. You can tell because of the kind of hat he is wearing. I do not know if this is true, but it seems pretty obvious.
--[[User:The_Ugly_One|The Ugly One]]

: I noticed that too. --[[User:TaranchulaVamp15|TaranchulaVamp15]]

um how do you go here????

:why would/how did coach Z get a castle?-[[User:Anonomys|Anonomys]] 23:40, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

==Stinkoball Z==

Anyone think the similarity in Stinkoman's blast in the cutscene to the Kamehameha of Dragonball Z fame should be noted? -- [[User:TaranchulaVamp15|TaranchulaVamp15]]
: No. Too generic. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:44, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Music==
Is it just me, or is the music on Level -0 a mix of all the other musics? -- {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 02:33, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)
*No, I thought so too. First it's L1 music, then swaps to L5 music or something. --[[User:silverwing99|silverwing99]] 00:10, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)

It's exactly this: 5,2,4,6,?,6,? then repeats. - [[User:oopsyoubwokeit|oopsyoubwokeit]]

To me it sounds like the intro from level 1, then level 5 (up a semitone), 2, 4, both 4 and 1 played at the same time, quite a bit of 6 (with a few notes changed), then a riff that I don't recognise from anywhere else to tie it into the next repeat. {{User:phlip/sig}} 01:13, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Explanation for wierd platform? ==

The wierd floating platform at the beginning of this stage has a fine white line: just like the dotted walls in various Pokemon games.--[[User:silverwing99|silverwing99]] 00:11, 8 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Skips ==

I have a slow compy, but when I get to Ekersby's level it skips and I keep getting killed. This doesn't happen on a library compy, though. [[User:209.104.139.221|209.104.139.221]]

:very odd.-[[User:Anonomys|Anonomys]] 23:42, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

==Help Me==
Out all the bosses I faced, Elskerby is the toughest. That tornado was the second toughest. I can't really stay alive because of all the projectiles and those sporks. Can somebody give me any tips to defeating Elskerby?-{{User:Gordon 584.sig}}
:elskerby is simple once you figure out how the timing works. just keep trying, there's a 1 up at the begining of .2 anyway to ensure having 4 goes in a row.-[[User:Anonomys|Anonomys]] 23:44, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

== Shiveryawn ==

Listen closely to stinkoman in this level when he begins to yawn, well actually before he yawns....
Some say, its the same sound when he yawns in other levels. Tried it, it was bullhoooooooooonky. =P
Shiver sound! -StrongGlad20X6 as a random contributor!

:Nope, he ''definately'' makes that sound before yawning in other levels. Try it with the cheat program - press Ctrl-0 to turn off the music to make it easier to hear. {{User:phlip/sig}} 23:58, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)

==Transcript==

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

<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 screen blurs as we cut to the broken Tandy 400, and the first email from [[sisters]] is onscreen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! There's two of them! ''{places a candle next to the computer, clears the screen, and starts typing to romantic music}'' 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. ''{the 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. Attached to his head is a black tuft of hair, and he has black dots on the back of his head and all along his back to 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! 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}''

''{Cut 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!

''{Cut to the non-broken Tandy 400, with the email from [[little animal]] on it.}''

'''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—standing 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.}'' 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}''

''{cut 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.}'' DO OVER!!! ''{the original email comes back up, and Strong Bad types:}'' 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 [[Minor Alternate Versions#Other|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 ''[[Wikipedia:Peanuts|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:''' ''{cheat noises like "Yes, Ma'am!"}''

''{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''').
*"[[Wikipedia:Canuck|Canuck]]" is a nickname for a person from Canada.


===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===
*"Stnank" was a [[Made Up Strong Bad Animals|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 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]].



===Real-World References===

*[[Crisps, A-Soy!]] is a reference to [http://www.nabiscoworld.com/cookieguys/ Chips Ahoy!] brand cookies and to the many soy products whose names contain puns on the word "soy" (such as "Soy Good" soy milk).
*[http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_15313,00.html Egg Drop Soup] is a Chinese dish made from chicken broth and beaten eggs.
*Strong Bad's cry of "PARSLEY! SAGE! RoseMARY! And THYME!" is a reference to the lyrics of "[[Wikipedia:Scarborough_Fair|Scarborough Fair]]," a 16th or 17th century English ballad popularized 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 aired the night before this email was released, in which Peter Griffin also ate coins and made a very similar jingling sound.

*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:''' 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 matter," or something.

'''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:''' 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.}''

== Transcript ==
''{Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat are in a field.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' A GLOWY BOX! A GLOWY BOX!

'''STRONG BAD:''' A glowy box? Are you sure that's what you'd get for your tattoo?

'''STRONG MAD:''' IT'S PERSONAL!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'd want mine to look like a prison tattoo that you carved out yourself with a spoon and some soap.

''{Cut to a muscled arm.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There'd be a rocket launcher, of course,—

''{A rocket launcher appears on the arm.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and above that it'd just say, "Bad Guy."

''{The words "BAD GUY" are written in yellow above the rocket launcher. Music begins. A silhouetted Strong Bad shakes his head back and forth in front of an orange background with yellow polka dots. Cut to a road sign that says, "now entering BAD GUY". The words "BAD GUY" pop out of the sign. Cut to Strong Bad dancing with a background of yellow and green stripes.}''

'''SINGERS:''' Strong Bad is a bad guy, bad guy, bad guy.

''{Strong Bad, in Strongbadia, beats a muffler with a baseball bat. Cut to a scene with Cold One bottles and a bowl of peanuts. Strong Bad spins around on top of the scene.}''

'''SINGERS:''' Strong Bad is a bad guy, bad guy, bad guy.

''{Strong Bad dances in front of a gray background with the words "BAD GUY".}''

'''SINGERS:''' Strong Bad is a bad, bad man.

''{A black background with Strong Bad's head poking up and his gloves poking down. The words "Bad guy" flash in purple and green neon.}''

'''SINGERS:''' Strong Bad hates Marzipan.

''{Strong Bad spray paints a poster with Marzipan that says, "vote whales".}''

'''SINGERS:''' Strong Bad's got a master plan,

''{Strong Bad spins upside down in front of the peanuts and bottles. Cut to a blueprint with a van and a dancing Strong Bad that reads, "MASTER PLAN".}''

'''SINGERS:''' To buy a custom conversion van!

''{A van drives toward the screen. The word "Vantastic" appears.}''

'''SINGERS:''' Strong Bad is a bad guy, bad guy, bad guy.

''{Strong Bad beats the muffler with a baseball bat. Cut to a rocket launcher, which shoots a rocket at the screen. When the rocket "hits," the explosion says "DOOj."}''

'''SINGERS:''' Strong Bad is a bad guy, bad guy, bad guy.

''{Marshie flies around in an orange and yellow background}''

'''SINGERS:''' Marshie is a bad guy, bad guy, bad guy.

''{Trogdor walks by, burninating.}''

'''SINGERS:''' Trogdor is a bad, bad guy.

''{Cut back to the Field. Music ends. Homestar walks in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, guys, whatcha ticking bot?

'''STRONG BAD:''' We're talking about something cool and interesting. You wouldn't understand.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, tattoos, huh? I'd get one on my forearm ''{the bulging arm reappears, and tattoos appear on it as Homestar talks}'' that said, "The For Real Deal," and has a picture of me dressed up like Uncle Sam.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You'd get one on your forearm, huh?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Or one on my bulging bicep that just says "Cake Man." ''{the bulging arm reappears, with 'cakeman' on it in crude blue script}'' Ooh, or a glowy box on my wrist...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to The Cheat}'' I just don't have the heart to tell him.

'''STRONG MAD:''' YOU DON'T HAVE AR- ''{gets cut off by a cut to the bulging arm with a "THE END" tattoo, then changes to a black screen that says "done."}''

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Tattoo26.PNG|thumb|110px]]
*Click the screen when The Cheat is talking to see tattoo idea #26: "a picture of some kinda snake lady killing some kinda snake".
*Click on The Cheat after Homestar says "A glowy box on my wrist" to see a drawing of a box with the caption "Glowy box 4 ever."

==Fun Facts==

===Trivia===
*This is the first '[[Toons|toon]] made in ''Mario Paint'' to be released since [[Super NES]]. The button on the main page when this toon debuted read "back to our roots".

===Remarks===
*Homestar's propeller is missing.

===Glitches===
*The glowy box easter egg is clickable from when it appears until the end of the 'toon.
===Inside References===
*Strong Bad beats a muffler with a pipe. In [[no loafing]], Strong Mad is inspired to the same task.
*Homestar Runner was first seen dressed up as Uncle Sam on [[Main Page 12]].
*The song in this short is basically a parody of the original [[Super NES]] cartoon, but based on Strong Bad rather than Homestar Runner. The way the lyrics are structured is very similar.
*Strong Bad spray-painting Marzipan may be a reference to [[origins]], in which he did the same thing.

===Real World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Uncle Sam|Uncle Sam]] is a national personification of the United States dating from the [[Wikipedia:American Civil War|Civil War]].
*Strong Bad's desire to have a tattoo that "you carved out yourself with a spoon and some soap" refers to the old prison cliché of carving weapons out of soap.

Talk:Main Page 23

Alcnolien — Mon, 17 Oct 2005 19:15:37 GMT

Alcnolien: Strong Bad Speaks

== Tape Recorder ==

Don't you think we should say something about this being the only main page where the Home Pages buttons are covered, even if it is just for a few secconds?

:Well, sure Annonny, I guess... It is somewhat noteworthy, and when you mentioned it it made me go "Woah? Really?" and go double check. It is (when Strong Sad's hand comes out.) --[[User:Ookelaylay|Ookelaylay]] 01:40, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Randomizer ==

Is this main page featured on the main page randomizer, or is it another deal like [[Main Page 22]]? {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 17:30, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:From decompiling main_nav.swf, all main pages would appear to be gettable using the "main" link on the navbar. Then again, I know practically nothing about decompiling stuff. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 18:37, 19 September 2005 (BST)

:: I hit the "main" button a few times and eventually hit 23. So yes, it's on the main page randomizer. As for 22, I don't know if it's currently there or not. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:40, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::: I hit the main button on the bottom (not the one on the title page) and got 22. --{{User:Camalex/sig}}
:::: I eventually got 21, 22, and 23. I removed part of the fact on Main Pages where it says you can't reach these pages. I haven't investigated whether clicking "come on in" will take you here. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:19, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::::Come On In will not take you to 12, 22, or 23. At least I didn't get any of them after five minutes. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 20:23, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::::Just decompiled welcome.swf. The TOTAL_MAINPAGES line is set to 20, so yes, Main Pages 21, 22, and 23 are inaccesible by it. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 21:25, 19 September 2005 (BST)

:::::Aw, man! That's what I was just doing. Erm, so, I ''can'' say that Venusy is right, at least. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:53, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::::You sure? I think I've gotten 21 and 22 before. -[[User:FaceCrap|FaceCrap]] 13:39, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Clapperboard ==

Is there an article for the Clab Board thing? I can't find it. If there isn't, i think there should. How do I add it?--[[User:Martin925|Martin925]] 21:36, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:The clapperboard? Well anyway, to make a page put - <nowiki> [[Clapperboard]] </nowiki> in the sandbox or on your userpage and it should appear in red. Click on the link and that will take you to the editing screen. Then, edit away!--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 22:10, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC) ''(the link name was fixed in this post — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]])''

::Here also is the Wikipedia link for [[Wikipedia:clapperboard|clapperboard]], which should come in handy for you. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:26, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Thanks guys. I call making it! lol I am so excited about learning how to make pages. Thanks so much!--[[User:Martin925|Martin925]] 23:49, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:Okay! Calm down, spaz! -[[User:FaceCrap|FaceCrap]]

FaceCrap, don't make fun of other users.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 02:40, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== 2 Homestars ==

Okay, this main page proves there are 2 Homestars. Freaky. {{User:Homestramy20/sig}} 21:59, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:I bet the one facing away from us is [[Mustachioed_Homestar_Runner#Other|wearing a fake mustache]]. ;) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:03, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::Good hypothisis! {{User:Homestramy20/sig}} 22:23, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:::Should there be a cloned homestar charcter page?
::::Nah, I don't think so. It's just one of those weird things that happen on Homestar Runner Dot Com every now and then. Also, it's debatable how much of the Main Pages are actually canon anyway. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::::OK, let's debate it: Why in the world would main pages not be canon? [[User:beanluc|beanluc]] 19:57, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::its meraly a joke about stunt doubles.[[User:Darkstalker|Darkstalker]]
:::Um...[[stunt double|''stunt doubles'']]? -[[User:FaceCrap|FaceCrap]] 13:33, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::I totally agree: it's [[Mustachioed_Homestar_Runner#Other|Mustachioed Homestar Runner]] - NOT a second normal Homestar. [[User:beanluc|beanluc]] 19:57, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:It doesn't prove there are 2 Homestars. [[Senorial Day]] proved that. There's one Homestar with a mustache, and another one without. On this page we can't see whether there's a mustache or not, so we don't know whether there are 2 identical Homestars or 2 Homestars a little different. [[User:beanluc|beanluc]] 20:03, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::I think they're making fun of homestar's old voice, which they still use for the main pages.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 20:15, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:::Um, I think you're going a little off topic there. -[[User:FaceCrap|FaceCrap]] 02:36, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Back Head ==

This is really freaky! I was pressing on the tab bar, and after a second of the yellow box scrolling really fast, Strong Bad popped up but facing me and he said "Oh, It's the back of my head!". Has anyone else ever gottn this? It was on the .swf file, just to tell you. -[[User:FaceCrap|FaceCrap]]
:Um... yeah, that's what he does when you mouse over it a second time. [[Main Page 23|You know we have a wiki, right?]] :P (Sorry, forum quote.) - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''

== ? or ! ==

Maybe I'm being nitpicky here, but I think it would be more appropriate for the transcript to read "Sup, man!" and "Sup!" with exclamation points instead of question marks. Especially in this context, I don't think they're really questions so much as just greetings. I don't know. That's just me.
:i agree.......greatly
::I disagree, but not greatly. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
:::I think it could be taken either way. I mean, who freakin' cares? IT'S A PUNCTUATION MARK! --[[User:Ookelaylay|Ookelaylay]] 01:42, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::::but thats the blood of this wiki! lol i think it should be "sup man?" "Sup!"

== Incorrectly regarded as goofs ==

I know this article is still young, but I think so far we've been overly critical with regard to the goofs. I think DorianGray said it best: "It's debatable how much of the Main Pages are actually canon anyway."
*'''The Weeklies buttons are not truly flipped. It should go in this order, left to right: [[Random Toon]], [[Sketchbook]], [[Weekly Fanstuff]], then [[Quote of the Week]].'''
**While this is true, TBC would have had to make another [http://www.homestarrunner.com/newbutton.swf newbutton.swf] for this to happen. So by them not doing this, we consider this a goof?
***They went to the trouble to make the rest of the page reversed, why leave this one out? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
****I think they left this out simply due to the reason I supplied: Having to make an "reversed" flash file. I'll further extend this to [http://www.homestarrunner.com/homepages_23.swf homepage_23.swf]. They didn't reverse the numerical order for a similiar reason. The only notable change I see from [http://www.homestarrunner.com/homepages.swf homepages.swf] is the that the buttons are justified to the right instead of the left. {{User:The Paper/sig}}
*****But in making "homepages_23", they proved that they could, if they wanted to, have made "newbutton_23". Also, now that you bring it up, I think the numerical order should be reversed on the home pages. Again, why do most of a joke but not all of it? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:51, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
******I can't speak for TBC, but I would say they probably didn't reverse order of the weeklies and the homepages because of difficulties in doing so. At this point, we're both speculating as to why TBC didn't complete the joke. I think it comes down to the limits of what you can do in Flash '''easily'''. I stress easily here not to discredit any of TBC's work, but to show that I think they would have done it had it been more feasable. My argument here is that it isn't GOOF. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 22:19, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
*******It's still notable, so I'll meet you halfway. Moving to remarks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:29, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
<hr width="50%">
*'''If The Cheat falls while the other Homestar is walking past, Homestar is in front of The Cheat even though from the perspective he should be farther away.'''
** Things like this happen many times in main pages, See [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Main_Page_13&diff=prev&oldid=59953 Firebird's edit on Main Page 13].
*** I could do without this one. Isn't it a Flash artifact and therefore disqualified anyway? In fact, I'm gonna give this one the del taco on those grounds. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
****Actually, I think that TBC can do the layering themselves, and it actually is their own mistake. I work in flash, so I'd probably know. -[[User:FaceCrap|FaceCrap]]
*****Still, each button is its own segment, independent of the others. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:07, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)
******The term "Flash artifact" is over-applied around here. It's meant to refer to unusual things found by ''manipulating'' the Flash file (that is, watching the .swf file directly or right-clicking and using the options there.) Thus, this ''is'' a mistake, not a Flash artifact. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:49, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)
*******I was gonna move your comments here but I see you already have some. I see your point, but I don't think it's a mistake. Possibly a glitch or a remark, but not a goof, because the buttons, technically, are independent from each other, and each one is supposed to play out on its own. The fact that two buttons together don't quite work might be notable, but we haven't listed them as goofs on other main pages. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:13, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)
********Examining the other main pages, this situation actually comes up almost never, and when it has, they've been pretty consistent about getting the layering right. I dunno... I guess I could see it as a goof (rather than a remark or a glitch) if someone really ''really'' felt that they should have gotten it right. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
<hr width="50%">
*'''The support behind Homestar's head would be visible from the front, but doesn't show up on any of the other main pages.'''
** It is true that other main pages do not have a piece of wood in that spot. However, for all we know it was added to the wooden "set" between Main Page 22 and this one for all we know. Perhaps we can move this to "remarks".
***I'll move this to remarks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
<hr width="50%">
*'''Homestar is standing in front of the set and the piece of wood that falls is behind it, so it should drop behind him, not hit him on the head.'''
** Again, I think we're being overly critical here. Generally odd things that defy the laws of physics happen on main pages. Is it a goof every time Homsar's hat falls back to his head when normally it should have missed his head and fell on the ground? {{User:The Paper/sig}} 20:38, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
***Meh, I could go either way on this one. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:43, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
***Perhaps the wooden set is leaning away from the camera, so its actually over Homestar's head

== Comments ==
I really like the fact that Strong Sad could very easily have said "I'm the floating head of doom" himself, but instead for some reason he plays a recording of himself saying it. Funny stuff.
--[[User:Der Pepper|Der Pepper]]

That is because Strong Sad would have to repeat it over and over, never sounding different.

:That's barely an issue. I mean, Strong Bad and Homestar do that just fine here. - '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]''''' 17:18, 21 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Home Pages vs. Main Pages ==

TBC have called them 'home pages' and the wiki calls them 'Main Pages'. Is there any difference between these two terms or is this one of those wikisms like '[[The Guy at the Depot]]'? {{User:The Paper/sig}} 22:36, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:Er, the button on the main page reads "new main page" and the link in the navbar reads "main" AND Coach Z calls it "main page number 23". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:39, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::BTW, there's a space in the "home pages" title above the links to the, um, main pages. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
::: True. Every ''main page'' except this one. See [[FAQ#Cartoons_.26_SB_Emails|'homepages' in FAQ]]. Looks like even TBC can't keep it straight. Just like the canon spelling of The Paper's sound. ;) {{User:The Paper/sig}} 22:45, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:::: Ah, touché, mon ami. There's actually a lot of examples like that, now that I think about it (listing them all would take up too much space here). But I did think of another "main" argument: Just look at the file name for each of the pages. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:54, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::::: You got me there. Clearly the preferred term is 'main page'. Now I wonder why 'mainpage' never caught on. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 23:01, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:::::: I dunno. I kinda prefer the two-word form myself. Main page. Home page. Here on the wiki: User page. Talk page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]

== Removed Entry ==

Does this belong back here?
*The way The Cheat falls and the sounds he makes may be a reference to the "[[Kick The Cheat]]" mini-game used to sell the The Cheat plush toy.

This was removed by [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&target=149.143.200.7 149.143.200.7] back in Sept 19, who I have seen randomly removing stuff from sites (I have added to the troll list). It hasn't been fixed since, but it seems like a plausible remark. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 15:49, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Strong Bad Speaks ==

Is it just me, or does Strong Bad move his head/talk slower than the actual sound clip? There might be something wrong with my computer, and it doesn't happen with any of the other things. [[User:Alcnolien|Alcnolien]] 19:15, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

TROGDOR!

'''Page Title:''' TROGDOR!!!

== Instructions ==
<pre>Use the arrow keys to control Trogdor.
Stomp 10 peasants to achieve burnination.
Burn all cottages to advance a level.
Avoid knights and archers!

== Interludes ==
*There are a number of funny interludes after the following levels, similar to the ones between some levels of Ms. Pac Man and other games:
**Level 4 — "stompin' good"
::''{A lone peasant is on the left side of the screen. Trogdor approaches from the right with two knights in hot pursuit. Trogdor stomps the peasant and then turns to burninate the knights as they retreat.}''
:*Level 8 — "fry 'em up Dan"

:*Level 20 — "flex it, troggie"
::''{Trogdor flexes his beefy arm.}''
:*Level 24 — "peasant dominoes"
::''{Seven peasants are in a line. Trogdor burninates the peasant on the right. The peasant to the left of the burninated peasant catches fire as the first peasant falls over. This effect dominoes down the line of peasants until they all fall over. Trogdor hops up and down with glee.}''
:*Level 30 — "trogdor incognito"
::''{Two peasants approach each other from opposite sides of the screen and stop in the middle. The peasant on the left burninates the peasant on the right. The peasant on the right runs off. The peasant on the left hops up and down.}''
:*Level 34 — "go trogdor # 2!"
::''{Seven peasants are hopping up and down as two Trogdors race across the screen from left to right. Trogdor number two wins the race.}''
:*Level 38 — "forbidden peasant love"
::''{Two peasants enter the screen from the right with a heart between them. As they reach the middle of the screen, a blue knight runs on screen and takes the peasant on the left away. The heart disappears as the peasant that was on the right is left alone.}''
:*Level 42 — "2 cottages"
::''{Two cottages appear.}''
:*Level 46 — "a funny joke"
::''{A knight is minding his own business on the left side of the screen. Out of nowhere, an archer appears on the right side of the screen and begins to shoot five arrows off of the knight's helmet. The archer leaves and the knight turns to face the spot where he was to find no one is there.}''
:*Level 50 — "smote that kerrek!"
::''{Trogdor is on screen with The Kerrek. The Kerrek bounces up and down a few times before Trogdor burninates him.}''
::'''Strong Bad:''' Mmmm! Roast Kerrek!
:*Level 100 — ''{A tiny arcade game Strong Bad enters the screen from the right.}''
::'''STRONG BAD:''' What the? What am I doing in this game?

::''{Arcade Strong Bad moves his arms up and down as the text "congratulations. you got good score" appears}

**Burninated peasants set their cottages on fire.
**Get an extra man every 300 points.
**What's a treasure hut?!?!
**Secret Code?!?!
*On the hints screen, you can use the [[Wikipedia:Konami Code|Konami Code]] (up up down down left right left right B A, and then click the word "START"). This will start you off with 30 lives.
*During the game you can hit the "k" key to kick the game. This doesn't seem to give you any advantage, but it does cause the machine to repeat the word "TROGDOR!" (A reference to [[Arcade Game]].)
*Treasure Huts! You can enter certain huts and pick-up gold! To get to it you must burninate certain huts that block them, and then let the burnination shut off, otherwise you will burn the treasure hut as well. '''On level 7, it's the leftmost hut. Burninate the 4 huts in the way. On level 11, it's the lower right hut. Burninate the huts around it. On level 16, it's the upper left hut. Burninate the three huts in the way.''' It appears that you can only enter one hut per game.

== Tips ==
* If a peasant makes it back into their cottage, you lose a point on the meter of peasants you squished (unless the meter is already empty). This can be frustrating when some cottages are inaccessible. Make sure you don't miss opportunities to squish peasants on these levels.
* Knights move in a pattern consisting of two moves (repeated over and over), completely ignoring Trogdor and the peasants. Their pattern gets "mirrored" when they hit a wall. Learning their patterns is one of the keys to doing well in the game.
* When you burninate peasants, they will run back to their cottage, which will burninate the cottage without need for direct burnination.
* Peasants will still come out of Burninated cottages, though Trogdor can walk right through them. Knights and arrows can go through any cottage.
* Archers appear in much greater frequency when you progress, but knights tend to be the main obstacle. Be sure to pay attention to the edges of the screen for archers. Arrows go about the same speed as Trogdor.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*Using a [http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/flash.html seek bar] suggests that this game was originally intended to have a high-score board. It actually does [http://www.homestarrunner.kitkorp.com/trogdor.html here].
*Flex it Troggie, Forbidden Peasant Love, and Smote That Kerrek are the only three animations that use art that isn't used during gameplay.

===Remarks===
*In [[Peasant's Quest]] it says that Trogdor is invincible, but he can die in this game.
**This may be because Peasant's Quest came after this game, and Trogdor had not yet discovered the secret to invincibility in this game.

===Goofs===
*Lev. 27 was well nigh impossible. The peasant-paths were only accessible for 2 of the 6 cottages, so for every peasant you squished there were 2 left to wander back into their cottages (diminishing your burninator meter). Meanwhile, the cottages themselves walled you in to a very small area, which made you a sitting duck for archers and knights. This level was "fixed" as of February 12, 2005, making it much simpler to beat. The change is documented in the [[FAQ]].
*When an archer kills Trogdor, it shows Trogdor with several arrows stuck in him, even though the archer only shot one.
*When Trogdor gets sworded, the knight is still holding his sword and there is one sticking out of Trogdor.

===Glitches===
*Pausing causes a purple ball to become visible on the screen.
*If you pause the game (using the space bar) when the archer is out pulling his bow, he will get stuck there until the end of the level, even if you die on that level.
**UPDATE: As of February 12, 2005, this glitch has been fixed, so archers will disappear after unpausing the game and reappear as normal... ALTHOUGH, the glitch is still present on the [http://www.homestarrunner.kitkorp.com/trogdor.html version that includes a high score list.]
*If you die as soon as you achieve burnination status, you will come back to life with burnination, assuming you have any mans left.
* When you pause the game while a cottage is burninating, it will continue to burninate until it is destroyed.
*Sometimes you will get "SWORDED" just because you are near the knight, not by necessarily making contact with him.
*In the .swf version, right click and click play after the knight swords you on your last man to start at -1 mans, but click play again for game over.
*If you pause at the "LEVEL BEATEN" screen Trogdor will be unmovable afterward and cannot unpause.
**This glitch has apparently been fixed.
*If you are still burninating while you go into a secret room, then it will show the flame where you last were.

===Inside References===
*"Oh, Trogdor! I pine for you." is a reference to [[trevor the vampire]].
*"ARROWED!" is a reference to [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 1]].
**"IT'S OVER!" is also a reference to [[Teen Girl Squad]].

===Real-World References===
*The "Arch-Deluxe" is a reference to an old McDonald's Burger called the [[Wikipedia:Arch Deluxe|Arch Deluxe]].

*Jonathan Howe's name being an easter egg is actually a reference to Adventure for the [[Wikipedia:Atari 2600|Atari 2600]]. When it was made Atari intentionally kept game designers from achieving celebrity status. In rebellion to this, Warren Robinett hid his name inside what is commonly regarded as the first easter egg. It was only accessible by picking up an invisible object, carrying it through a dragon infested maze, and touching it to a blank wall. Doing this revealed a room with Warren's name plastered all over in rainbow colors.

*[[Wikipedia:Wordly Wise|Wordly Wise]] is a series of textbooks designed to build student's vocabulary. What this has to do with the [[Kerrek]] is unknown.

*When you die the replay button says "Challenge again!". This references the ending of [[Wikipedia:Ghosts and Goblins|Ghosts and Goblins]] which says the same thing.

*"Fry 'em up Dan" is a direct quote from [[Wikipedia:Shel Silverstein|Shel Silverstein]]'s poem "Ladies First".

*The peasants in love may be a refrence to the video game Pac-man, by [http://www.namco.com/ Namco], in which Pac-man and Mrs. Pac-man move onto the screen and a heart forms above them.

===Fast Forward===
*[[Dan]], from the caption "Fry 'em up Dan", is later used in [[Thy Dungeonman II]] and [[Peasant's Quest]], as well as [[Stinkoman 20X6]]. This seems to have become a running gag with all of the new games.

===Strong Bad Quotes===
*Strong Bad will say things while you play. Here's a list:

:'''Sworded:'''
:*"Aw, this is the worst game I've ever played!"
:*"Stupid, freakin' knights." (This is apparently always said if you are arrowed or sworded while the peasant meter is at nine.)

:'''Arrowed:'''
:* "Ugh, stupid arch-deluxe."
:*"Ugh, nothing more humiliating then getting killed by the archer...arch deluxe...show you next time!"

:'''Squish a Peasant:'''
:*"Squished you, peasanty."
:*"I squish you"
:*"A Squisha Squisha"

:'''Get Burninate Power:'''
:*"The tables have turned!"

:'''Burninate a Cottage:'''
:*"Deuce!"

:'''Burninate a Peasant:'''
:*''{laughing}'' "He's on fire! Look at 'em burning!"

:'''Beat a Level:'''
:*"Oh yeah!"
:*"Ohh.. this is the best game I've ever played."
:*"Oh, yes! And the Trogdor comes in the niiight!"

:'''Game Over (depending on your score):'''
:*"Oh, Trogdor! I pine for you."
:*"Beat that score, Strong Sad!"
:*"I don't even want to play this game."
:*"Wow! That's the best secret thing I ever found in a video game. It's like... some dude's name. Flashing and stuff. ''{Jonathan Howe's name appears flashing}''

:'''Upon reaching certain animations:'''
:*"Mmmmm, roast Kerrek!"
:*"What the? What am I doing in this game?!"
:*"It sounds so... realistic."

Alcnolien: /* Sick Chaps? */

== I feel so bad for the Cheat! ==

Ok, this may be minor, but it almost sounds like Homestar is saying "Four miles For hours" or "four miles four hours" instead of "Four miles per hour" Am I the only one? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 08:19, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::Yes.
:::Yeah, I went back and listened to it, and he *does* say "per hour" but his p is a little "ph"-afied. Incredible. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:25, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

==The Paper Filmography==

Is the The Paper's first appearance outside of a Strong Bad email? -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 14:02, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:[[Superbowl Dealie|No.]] - {{User:Joshua/sig}}

And also [[Arcade Game]] - sarducci

For that matter, is this the first appearance of an actual e-mail (well, it seems like a legitimate e-mail) outside of an official numbered sbemail segment?

== sick lappy ==

the reason you dotn get ripples when you click the lappy is because it is sick with a virus too!!!
:No, if TBC wanted to make the Lappy sick, it would have been more obvious. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 17:02, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Sick as well ==

What a coincidence!!!! I stayed home from school today because I was sick. It's amazing how life works out. lol--[[User:Martin925|Martin925]] 18:23, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Heheh, me too. {{User:Homestramy20/sig}} 20:11, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Holy crap! Me, too!

Yeah I've been doing my best not to get sick either. It's been going around! It's a fitting reflection of reality that TBC made through this short today. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:28, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Weird... I've been a little snuffly too. Maybe TBC is just psychic and predicted we'd ALL be sick as dogs today. [[User:Ookelaylay|Ookelaylay]] 22:46, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, even ''I'' was a little sick over the weekend. -[[User:FaceCrap|FaceCrap]] 23:59, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Well i'm not sick, but when I was coming home from school, I had a stuffy nose.
-[[User:DaChazman|Dachazman]]

::Or (eerie music) maybe TBC ''made'' us sick today! --[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 02:17, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I wasn't sick but my freind but they haven't heard of Homestar Runner! So it isn't a big coincedence there is something going round so maybe thats why they made this short -- [[User:Strong Lad|Strong Lad]]

This is weird. I'm at Uni right now and tons of people are sick. And I got ill one day after seeing the cartoon. And I'm in the UK!

== Grayest or Greatest? ==

"STRONG SAD: {groans} This is the ______ day of my life. I feel like a few dollars."

Alright, this has been changed multiple times now. Is he saying "grayest" or "greatest?" {{User:Camalex/sig}} 18:34, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

*'''Greatest.''' Not only is that I hear it as, but "grayest" doesn't make sense in context. (regarding the dollar sentence) - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 18:48, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' I definitely hear a consonant in there. It's a little muffled because of his illness. The joke is that for a depressing person, being sick means he's actually having a good day. The second line is a play on "I feel like a million dollars," which only a person having the greatest day of their life would say. The ''grayest'' day of Strong Sad's life is every other day. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:50, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second.''' -- [[User:tomstiff|tomstiff]] 19:27, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' For exactly the reasons It's dot com gave. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
**That's what I thought. Then I came here and it said "grayest" so I was confused. It kept getting changed, so I just wanted to see what people said on it... {{User:Camalex/sig}} 18:52, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' For all the reasons already stated. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:39, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' See above, and earlier someone put ''greenest'', so I went back to hear it carefully, and indeed heard him pronounce the consontant! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:29, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Grayest.''' - when someone has the greatest day of their life, they feel like a million dollars. When someone has the grayest day, they only feel like a few dollars. Makes perfect sense.
** I know this isn't [[STUFF]], but sign your votes. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:44, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' Strong Sad never has a good day, ever. It makes sense for him to think the greatest day of his life to be worth a couple bucks. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 21:45, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greenest!''' Seriously! That's what I thought when he said it. Why else would he say like he felt like some dollar bills? Also, his face looked green. [[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]]
*'''Greatest.''' The joke is that Strong Sad's day is better when he (or Strong Bad?) has a disease than normally. -[[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 23:36, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' Exactly!!!!!!!!!(I also agree with the "Or Strong Bad?" thing) [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]
*'''Greediest.''' To me, Strong Sad is saying ''"greediest."'' How about any of you? {{User:gwr2004/sig}} 01:53, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
**'''Comment.''' Greediest? "This is the greediest day of my life."?! That makes no sense, and I hear greatest. I think the conclusion is obvious now. - {{User:Joshua/sig}}
*'''Greatest.''' Not because it necessarily makes sense in context or in character or anything like that, but just because that's what it sounds like. Actually it sounds more like "Greadest" but anyone who's had a blocked nose knows that 't's are hard to pronounce and often come out as 'd's. {{User:phlip/sig}} 03:28, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' Indeed, it is 'greatest.' The "t" is partially swallowed, (or, to take the "hooked on phonetics" route, his pronunciation has an incomplete plotive stop, muddying the sharpness of the "t"), but it is there. {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 12:04, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' The ''t'' is kind of blended with the ''est'', so I could see why people could think it was grayest. But, it's Greatest.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 18:18, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
*'''Greatest.''' I'm pretty sure I hear a consonant in there. --[[User:Blu Aardvark|Blu Aardvark]] [[user talk:Blu Aardvark|(talk)]] [[Special:Contributions/Blu Aardvark|(edits)]] 13:16, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:Okay guys, you can stop voting now. I'm pretty sure a consensus has been reached. ;) - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 13:25, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== What is it then? ==
Should this be classified as a Not-Quite-Strong-Bad-Email or should we just leave it as-is?
[[User:Kiwi]]
:It's already on the NQSBE list, so there you go. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
This morning I was going to add it to the list, and when I got there someone had already done it! I really do like this wiki. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:49, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Laugh or Cry ==

This may just be me but it sounds more like The Cheat is laughing mischievously while in the puke pail. Does anyone else think so or do I need my ears checked? [[User:Stinkoman Z|Stinkoman Z]]
:You need your ears checked. {{User:Camalex/sig}} 23:38, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)
YEah. It also sounds like he might be doing a small bit O' pokun at the end part of his puke pail appearence. [[User:20X6 GEM|20X6 GEM]]

== Puke pail ==

So, why didn't the puke pail get brought to Strong Bad? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:10, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:Whoever was told to do so (The Cheat) was busy up-chucking. {{User:gwr2004/sig}} 00:14, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Up-chucking?! More like, puking really loudly! I don't get it at all. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:18, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Um, up-chucking=puking {{User:Camalex/sig}} 00:19, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

How so? I think you're right. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:23, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:They're synonyms. Also barf, throw up, spew, vomit, ralph, blow chunks, toss your cookies, toss a sidewalk pizza, Technicolour yawn, tango with the toilet, spiff your biscuits, regurgitate... Yeah... I collect synonyms for that. Call me crazy (I collect synonyms for 'crazy' too). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Okay, I know already! --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:29, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure if The Cheat was up-chucking or that he got stuck in Strong Bad's puke pail somehow.
[[User:DaChazman|DaChazman]]

:He was sick. Everyone was sick. He wasn't just "stuck." - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 00:40, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Can't you see that we are all quite worried? The Cheat was in there, using it when he was sick! --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:41, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I thought he was just stuck in the pail and was miserable. It sounded like he was crying. - [[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] 00:51, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I think you're right. But "Can't you see Grandma's watchin' her stories"?! --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:52, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

==puke pail for him!==
i think the label on the box is a reference to j.c. penny comercials where they say phrases like:"hats for her! and jeans for him!"
i couldnt think of a better example....-[[User:Timmy!]]

:Um, no. I think you're looking too hard. {{User:Camalex/sig}} 01:10, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::i dont think i am! its extremely similar right? dont you think? i thought this would be exepted!-[[User:Timmy!]]

:::Uh, no. It's more of a "It's his puke pail, not SB's. HE'S FREAKIN' SICK!" comment TBC put in there. --[[User:Ookelaylay|Ookelaylay]] 01:14, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::::THAT'S IT! We've managed to get this far! :D No one can believe this. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 01:15, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::::I don't see how it would be "J.C Penny's" speficially, as a lot of stores/brands use that. It's too broad to even mention. {{User:Camalex/sig}}

::::::Well, just take note of this... there can also be a barf bag. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 01:19, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::::::fine it can be a reference to alot of stores okay? jeez...-[[User:Timmy!]]

::::::::hello????????anyone their?-[[User:Timmy!]]

:::::::::If it's a referense to a bunch of stuff then it's not really noteable, as everyone would know it already. It's too broad to make a comment about it. Think about it, you wouldn't put "Strong Bad's gloves are red. This is a referense to other things that are red" would you? {{User:Camalex/sig}}

::::::::::He's right about the glove reference. It's spelled wrong and will never make it on the Wiki due to that, but this store thing was something I hadn't thought of... When I did, though, I also thought of those blue and pink towels that say for her and for him, so there's a lot of stuff out there. We really can't stuff the site. People won't let me do it, either. I feel sorry for you, Timmy. We have an idea and they get rid of it. I'm off to check if paint pen still is up... [[User:Mortacai|Mortacai]] 18:01, 4 Oct 2005

:::::::::::...and Camalex, why is it whenever I see a reference that is being shot down by only one person, it's you? Sir, you love the status quo too much. This is the internet. The internet changes.
::::::::::::By only one person? Josh fixed that one you were so worked up about, and then notstrongorbad defended me. 1+1+1=3. Wow! That's more than 1, eh? :-P So, in other words, I was doing something that multiple people agreed with, yet no one but you defended? Seriously, go hang out at "Recent Changes" for a while. TONS of stuff gets reverted, rarely by me. Yes, the internet changes, but stupid or obvious facts will forever remain stupid and/or obvious. {{User:Camalex/sig}} 02:01, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::::::::::::I defended you, Camalex, largely because very insulting language had made its way into the edit summaries. What stays and what goes in the Wiki is never really a measure of the absolute truth (or absolute "stupidity" or obviousness) of a given fact; the Wiki is a liquid that assumes the form of its users. Some facts never have a chance from the get go, but that's simply because the weight of opinion is so strong against them that they could be described as "stupid." (Though I'd rather not.) Like a river finding its way through mountains, the Wiki oscillates between conflicting opinions and finally stabilizes in something that expresses the average of those opinions. Sometimes it's a million to one; sometimes, like the infamous Family Guy, it's a hotly contested oscillation, and an uneasy stability. But, aside from obvious objective realities about the 'toons, the Wiki is a joint agreement of subjective opinions. If, years in the future, a generation of wikiers with completely different opinions about these things were in charge, the Wiki would adapt to the averaged contours of their opinions. I'm getting too wordy--my point is, it's understandable to be angered by the perception that your initial contributions to the Wiki are unwanted (I made several false starts for the same reason). I tried to squelch some dialogue that was not making the Wiki a "happy place"--so don't respond to it in kind. --[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 05:09, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Gentlemen(?), gentlemen! The WRWiki is a lively place that often reminds me of gas in a compressed space. You have all these molecules bouncing and slamming and whipping around...well, to make the analogy make more sense, the molecules would have to have feelings. And know how to edit wiki-style. And know something about Homestar Runner. Regardless, sometimes the best laid edits of mice and diffrent mice get reverted, or changed, or deleted. It's frustrating, especially for those who want desperately to contribute. And sometimes this leads to a bit of testiness, or outright name-calling between users when things don't go exactly as they planned. My advice, as trite as it may sound, is ''relax''. Contributions, recognition and ''acceptance'' stack up with time, and letting set-backs freak you out or drag you down (to the point of feeling a persecution complex) isn't positive for anyone.

Taking things too personally can lead to the, um, Dark Side of Wikidom. Let me close with an awful limerick about a real experience I had that sort of relates to the issue:

<center>''There was once a anonymous user with an IP,'' 

''and I reverted some changes of he.'' 

''Not much did he like this,'' 

''and with a sure quickness,'' 

''he wrote some profane stuff about me.''</center>

But it is good to talk, good to vent. But ''relax''. We should all be able to work things out in a civil way. And maybe we'll all get closer to that "happy place." — {{User:Thesmokingmonkey/sig}} 12:57, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

==Rotten Egglund==
I believe that the map of rotten egglund could be a reference/spoof of the map to far off lands

It's a reference to Peasant's Quest. {{User:The 386/sig}}

:I don't think so, compare: [[:Image:rottenegglund.png|Map from Sick Day]] [[:Image:far off lands map.png|Map from Yello Dello]] [[:Image:Peasantry Map.png|Map from Peasant's Quest]] - it's closer to the Yello Dello one, I think. {{User:phlip/sig}} 13:00, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Speaking of which, why is Strong Mads room toxic? [[User:Seek Bar|Seek Bar]]

:''If'' for any reason it ultimately survives, it should be reworded; I though it meant that the visuals were, directionally, "in front" of Homestar's face, i.e. not behind his back. --[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 18:38, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Toxic answer ==

It STINKS in there! So, I'd say that Strong Mad is sick, causing the room to STINK. {{User:The 386/sig}}
:Wow, you're so smart. We never realized that. [/sarcasm] Seriously, that was pretty obvious. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 22:58, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

I am so smart, aren't I? I guess no one would want to go in there. If that happened, the air would be let out. --{{User:The 386/sig}} 00:32, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:That was kind of the whole point of the joke >.> {{User:Camalex/sig}} 01:53, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Sick Chaps? ==

Ever since 12AM Monday morning, I had been wondering why their was no new SB email for this week. Then this thing came out in the later the same day, as a toon. But I noticed it seemed like maybe it was originally intended to be an SB email, especially because Strong Bad got an email at the beginning. I was just thinking maybe Mike Chapman himself might have gotten sick, which could explain the lack of an SB email, and could have inspired the short itself. What does anyone else think about this?--[[User:Sanyo|Sanyo]] 06:47, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:There's certainly nothing unusual about a Monday release being late in the day. But what with all the talk of who's sick, it did cross my mind that maybe the inspiration was that TBC themselves had a bug. Of course they wouldn't be as incapacitated as everybody in the 'toon, or else they wouldn't feel like doing one any more than Strong Bad. Of course this remains the wildest of speculation; I just wanted to say it did cross my mind as well. --[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 07:32, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::Actually, this toon came out before 8:00 AM CDT. Is this late in the day? {{User:gwr2004/sig}} 12:56, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::Well actually I am in Japan, so because of the time difference I can`t check all day..so I saw it in the evening. Of course, I actually had no idea when it was posted. Just thought they are always in the early morning.
:::But still, this is a toon, not a SB email. That means that no SB email was released for this week. I`m just now thinking, maybe they posted as toon rather than an email because the question was never actually answered. Anyway, the thing I`m still wondering about is Matt and Mike.--[[User:Sanyo|Sanyo]] 04:53, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::::There's always the possibility that they want a few more toons for the new dvd that they're releasing.... [[User:Alcnolien|Alcnolien]] 12:23, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Real Email ==

Does anyone know if this is a real email or not?
:I don't see why TBC would have to make it up. I'm pretty sure it's real. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 13:26, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::They've kind of made a point in the past of saying every single email is real and unedited. --[[User:notstrongorbad|notstrongorbad]] 18:28, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::They have to have gotten this question like 20 times by now, so it`s gotta be real.--[[User:Sanyo|Sanyo]] 04:38, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Strong Mad ==

According to the NQSBE {aka 'Sick Day'}, only Strong Mad's '''voice''' is heard, he, though, '''is not'''.
By [[User:Count X|Count_]][[User_Talk:Count X|X]]

I know. But it would stink in there until he was well again. --{{User:The 386/sig}} 21:22, 5 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:I think he's implying that the cast should be edited because Strong Mad does not appear in person. Although I could be wrong, what you said doesn't really correlate to Count X's comment. {{User:Tom Epsilon/sig}}00:02, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Hands Shaking ==
On the page, it's said that Strong Bad's hands stop shaking after picking up the pointy tissue, and stay this way for the rest of the e-mail. However, if you look carefully, his hands are shaking again for the few seconds between Homestar's word problem and the Paper's appearance at the end of the e-mail.--[[User:KoopaTroopa211|KoopaTroopa211]] 04:27, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:You`re definitely right about that, his hands clearly start shaking again.--[[User:Sanyo|Sanyo]] 04:46, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*The [[Sticky Notes|sticky note]] on the wall reads "ASAP!!!", which is an acronym for "As Soon As Possible."

===Remarks===
*The computer monitor Strong Bad is sitting at is an Apple IIe monitor, given away by its adjustable viewing angle screen.
*Most features on homestarrunner.com are released on Monday, but this was released on a Friday.

===Goofs===
*After Homestar bangs his head on Strong Bad's keyboard, the "ASAP!!!" note is relocated. After the computer displays the system error message, the sticky note is back in its original place.
*After the Flamboyant System Error appears, the next cut shows the computer monitor from an angle. While Homestar is saying "Anyways, I'll let you finish up here. See you at six!", twice you can see Strong Bad's head go ''behind'' the superimposed image of the error screen.
