==Where's Apology?==

Hey, all. Apology here, just call me Val. I'm 18 years old, and I live in [[Wikipedia:New Jersey|New Jersey]], [[Wikipedia:United States|U.S.]]. Although I've only been here for a day, I want to contribute a lot and help out the site. Homestar Runner has been a large part of my life for a long time, and I hope it keeps doing well with fans.

==Whatcha buying there, Homestarmecium?==

I was adapted to Homestar at the same time the [[marzipan]] email came out, January 2003. It was at that moment that Marzipan became my favorite character, and I saw how gullible Strong Bad was. Every single day I was on the site, watching the 'toons, shorts, and exploring the easter eggs in each one. Every part of the site was fantastic.

==Homestarrunner.com, it's dot wiki==

January 28th, 2006, was when I discovered the Homestar Runner Wiki through Google. I was speechless at how the wiki knew what was on the Homestar site before anyone else (well, except the Brothers Chaps). I created an account after reading a few articles, because I wanted to be part of the fun, and contribute my knowledge of H*R.

''{The episode begins with Cheerleader, So And So, and What's-Her-Face sitting at a lunch table.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Lunchtime girls. Now let's get ready to eat...

'''CHEERLEADER, SO AND SO, WHAT'S-HER-FACE:''' NO FOOD!

'''SO AND SO:''' Eating lunch is for weirdos.

''{The Ugly One walks on to the screen with a cafeteria tray piled high with corn in her hands.}''

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' Holla grlfrndz. It's Corn and Corn Alone Day!

''{The Ugly One places a plate of corn on the table. Cut to a close-up of the corn. A tiny samurai warrior carrying a [[Wikipedia:naginata|naginata]] jumps out of the corn.}''

'''WARRIOR:''' Corn is no place for a mighty warrior!

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' So... who wants to come to my sweet someteen birthday bash tonight?

'''WHAT'S-HER-FACE:''' Is it going to be Nick-at-Night themed again?

'''SO AND SO:''' ''{slaps her forehead}'' I don't think I can stomach another show not on the WB.

'''CHEERLEADER:''' No! We can't come. We have... the... Olympics... tonight!

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' Oh, cuz it's a boy/girl party...

''{Close-up of So And So and Cheerleader, who look rather homicidal.}''

'''CHEERLEADER, SO AND SO:''' a B'GRL PRTY??!?

'''WHAT'S-HER-FACE:''' Taking the vowels out of words doesn't <u>always</u> make them cool.

'''SO AND SO:''' 'm srry.

'''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!

''(the music stops). (Cut to a small man in a red hoodie labeled "coach" 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)}

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Now, more than ever before, let's get ready to look....

'''CHEERLEADER, SO AND SO, WHAT'S-HER-FACE, THE UGLY ONE:''' SO GOOD! ''{the camera does a 360-degree spin around the girls}''

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

''{The cartoon rewinds and replays the 360-spin. The "SO GOOD!" 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.

''{Cut to three Scots standing around a wooden barrel marked "XXX," holding froth-topped mugs.}''

'''SCOT #1:''' ACHGH!

'''SCOT #2:''' ACHGH!

'''SCOT #3:''' ACHGH!

''{Cheerleader walks up to them.}''

'''CHEERLEADER:''' Any o'you boys wanna ditch this preschool party? I know of a couple HAWT junior college jams we could hit.

''{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 Tommy 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.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait a minute... not this time, mister!

''{Strong Bad places a new piece of paper on the screen, containing The Ugly One and a muscular Strong Bad in a construction helmet. In the background are the [[Wikipedia:Great Sphinx of Giza|Great Sphinx of Giza]] and two pyramids.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, why, hello, The Ugly One, you're looking so makey outy tonight.

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' Why thank you, Sir Hotbod Handsomeface. So are you!

''{Strong Bad and The Ugly One start making out. Cut to Strong Bad at his desk, making out with the paper of The Ugly One. Zoom out to a broader view of the desk, revealing Strong Mad, Strong Sad, and The Cheat standing next to him, looking bewildered.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh...mmm, not bad...oh, twice...

'''STRONG MAD:''' Oh?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh...

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

''{Strong Bad notices them, and quickly hides the paper.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! Uh, this is a piece of uh... pi- pizzaa-aaa...

''{Strong Bad shoves most of the paper into his mouth.}''

''{Cut to a crumpled & salivated paper, with the "IT'S OVER" screen appearing on the paper. A faint outline of the making-out scene is visible.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{slightly muffled}'' IT'S OVER!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{off-screen}'' Uh, Strong Bad, were you just first-basin' it with that piece of loose-leaf?!

==Easter Eggs==
* At the end, click on the "O" to play a scene with Manolios Ugly One.
:'''MANOLIOS UGLY ONE:''' So okay, guys. Come down and be shopping at Manolios Ugly One's Lectro-pawn! ''{"come down and see us" flashes on the screen.}'' I have a price on broken VCR, smashed tape, or something like that. I'll be over here yelling, Manolios Lectro-pawn! ''{he appears upside-down from the top of the screen}'' Manolios Lectro-pawn! Manolios Lectro-pawn! Or something like that...
* Click on the "!" to play a scene with the girls.
:'''CHEERLEADER:''' It's our tenth issue-versary!!! Let's do a clip show!!!
:'''SO AND SO:''' Let's have a wedding!!
:'''THE UGLY ONE:''' Let's have a baby!!!
:'''WHAT'S-HER-FACE:''' Let's kill someone off!
:'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Okay!
:''{A "splat" is heard, and Cheerleader's head is turned upside-down, but with one ponytail still coming out of the "top" of her head, with the other ponytail on her backside and her arms and legs swapped. So and So is squished by a giant golf ball. The Ugly One is eaten by a carnivorous plant. What's Her Face has a lampshade over her head.}''

==Fun Facts==

===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]], [[Wikipedia:Wedding|weddings]], new babies, and characters getting [[Wikipedia:Killed off|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 higher [[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 and a few minor effects such as So And So's spinning eyes seem a little smoother than normal.
*If The Ugly One's dad's name is Manolios Ugly One, then "Ugly One" is actually her surname; making The Ugly One's first name "The". This also calls to mind So And So's step-mom being named [[Mrs. So-and-so-erson]], and What's-Her-Face possibly having the surname "Her-Face".
*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 ARROWED II page, you can faintly see the ARROWED page beneath it.
*This toon, the 10th issue special, was released on October 10, or 10/10.
*So And So's teeth are 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 "SO GOOD!" are opaque; the lines on the paper aren't visible inside them.
*When Strong Bad says "It's over", it sounds like the making-out page is still in his mouth. However, "It's over" is written on the back of the same piece of paper.

===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 this version of the 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 colored 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."

*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]].)

'''MATT:''' Hey Mike, we just made this a couple weeks ago!

'''MIKE:''' Two weeks ago, Matt! Teen Girl Squad number ten!

'''MATT:''' We didn't know if we'd make it...

'''MIKE:''' We did.

'''MATT:''' So, there's a big deal— a lot of big deals in this Teen Girl Squad! There's colors...

'''MIKE:''' ...colors...

'''MATT:''' ...there's— there's three D's, in quotes...

'''MIKE:''' ...and lots of corn. And samurais.

'''MATT:''' I like this little samurai.

'''MIKE:''' He just sounds like old Strong Bad.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Str— that's right. Strong Bad was a s—, a samurai. Not a wrestleman.

'''MIKE:''' I spelled Nick-at-Nite wrong there.

'''MATT:''' Did you? How'd you spell it?

'''MIKE:''' Oh, I spelled vicious earlier— wrong earlier too.

'''MATT:''' We should change that.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. So when you're listening to this commentary, we're talking about some misspellings that aren't actually there!

'''MATT:''' Maybe! Depending on how lazy we are.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, maybe we won't fix them.

'''MATT:''' Look at— I love the way Cheerleader looks right now. She's—

'''MIKE:''' I like the Ugly One's smile right there. She's got Marzipan's smile.

'''MATT:''' That is the single best moment of any cartoon we've ever made. Mike, I, I— we talked about—

'''MIKE:''' Ah, look at that!

'''MATT:''' That's sweet deal. I agree, Strong Bad. So, uh, we spent way too much time on that.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. That was sort of the reason we why kept What's Her Face spinning there, was because we spent so much time on those, like, spinning animations that we wanted to, uh, get some more use out of it.

'''MATT:''' Just blomp  it. Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Look, here's all your favorite past TGS friends! Including Mrs. Commanderson!

'''MATT:''' And Henry Rollins from the liar video by Rollins band!

'''MIKE:''' Look, here's the techno remix of Teen Girl Squad theme song!

'''MATT:''' Yeah. That middle Scotsman looks kind of like our friend John. We really— and it looks kind of like a drawing that John would do, too. We later learned that that's wrong. The caber toss is not about distance.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' It's not about distance.

'''MATT:''' It's about straightness.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I guess.

'''MATT:''' She's more can opener'd than lathe'd, there.

'''MIKE:''' Can opener'd maybe would have been better.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Lathe'd is fine.

'''MATT:''' Tompkins is playing his really, really old Game Boy that weighed, like, five pounds.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Maybe he's playing Battletoads, maybe?

'''MATT:''' Ooh, Tecmobowl?

'''MIKE:''' I think those are the two games, we had. That and Tetris for— those and Tetris, for the—

'''MATT:''' Right.

'''MIKE:''' —old green Game Boys.

'''MATT:''' Uh, The Ugly One's dad is, um—

'''MIKE:''' —a slob!

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' A fat slob!

'''MIKE:''' So, Manolios; Matt, tell everyone about Manolios!

'''MATT:''' Manolios! Uh, my wife and I went to Greece this summer and we got to take a ride on the Manolios boat around Santorini.

'''MIKE:''' And Matt didn't shut up about it for about a month afterwards, ''{incomprehensible}''

'''MATT:''' It was— it was the best thing ever.

'''MIKE:''' Aw, look at Mr. Pitters!

'''MATT:''' Oh, he's got corn— he had corn in his pocket; I don't know if you noticed that, and he had some razor burn. Because he had to shave really quickly for the prom, and to ask The Ugly One to marry her ''[sic]]'' at the prom, apparently.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, ooh, my!

'''MATT:''' That's— that's a little much, Strong Bad.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, look at this! Twenty frames, uh, a second animation instead of our usual twelve.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it really throws everyone off.

'''MIKE:''' I kinda like it, uh, maybe I want to start doing some more stuff. It definitely took a lot longer.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. That's the problem.

'''MIKE:''' Roughly eighty percent longer!

'''MATT:''' ''{incomprehensible noise}'' ''{imitating Strong Sad}'' Loose leaf?

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

''{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 Tommy 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?

''{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.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait a minute... not this time, mister!

''{Strong Bad places a new piece of paper on the screen, containing The Ugly One and a muscular Strong Bad in a construction helmet. In the background are the [[Wikipedia:Great Sphinx of Giza|Great Sphinx of Giza]] and two pyramids.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, why, hello, The Ugly One, you're looking so makey outy tonight.

'''THE UGLY ONE:''' Why thank you, Sir Hotbod Handsomeface. So are you!

''{Strong Bad and The Ugly One start making out. Cut to Strong Bad at his desk, making out with the paper of The Ugly One. Zoom out to a broader view of the desk, revealing Strong Mad, Strong Sad, and The Cheat standing next to him, looking bewildered.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh...mmm, not bad...oh, twice...

'''STRONG MAD:''' Oh?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh...

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

''{Strong Bad notices them, and quickly hides the paper.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! Uh, this is a piece of uh... pi- pizzaa-aaa...

''{Strong Bad shoves most of the paper into his mouth.}''

''{Cut to a crumpled & salivated paper, with the "IT'S OVER" screen appearing on the paper. A faint outline of the making-out scene is visible.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{slightly muffled}'' IT'S OVER!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{off-screen}'' Uh, Strong Bad, were you just first-basin' it with that piece of loose-leaf?!

==Easter Eggs==
* At the end, click on the "O" to play a scene with Manolios Ugly One.
:'''MANOLIOS UGLY ONE:''' So okay, guys. Come down and be shopping at Manolios Ugly One's Lectro-pawn! ''{"come down and see us" flashes on the screen.}'' I have a price on broken VCR, smashed tape, or something like that. I'll be over here yelling, Manolios Lectro-pawn! ''{he appears upside-down from the top of the screen}'' Manolios Lectro-pawn! Manolios Lectro-pawn! Or something like that...
* Click on the "!" to play a scene with the girls.
:'''CHEERLEADER:''' It's our tenth issue-versary!!! Let's do a clip show!!!
:'''SO AND SO:''' Let's have a wedding!!
:'''THE UGLY ONE:''' Let's have a baby!!!
:'''WHAT'S HER FACE:''' Let's kill someone off!
:'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' Okay!
:''{A "splat" is heard, and Cheerleader's head is turned upside-down, but with one ponytail still coming out of the "top" of her head, with the other ponytail on her backside and her arms and legs swapped. So and So is squished by a giant golf ball. The Ugly One is eaten by a carnivorous plant. What's Her Face has a lampshade over her head.}''

==Fun Facts==

===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]], [[Wikipedia:Wedding|weddings]], new babies, and characters getting [[Wikipedia:Killed off|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 higher [[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 and a few minor effects such as So And So's spinning eyes seem a little smoother than normal.
*If The Ugly One's dad's name is Manolios Ugly One, then "Ugly One" is actually her surname; making The Ugly One's first name "The". This also calls to mind So And So's step-mom being named [[Mrs. So-and-so-erson]], and What's-Her-Face possibly having the surname "Her-Face".
*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 ARROWED II page, you can faintly see the ARROWED page beneath it.
*This toon, the 10th issue special, was released on October 10, or 10/10.
*So And So's teeth are 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 "SO GOOD!" are opaque; the lines on the paper aren't visible inside them.
*When Strong Bad says "It's over", it sounds like the making-out page is still in his mouth. However, "It's over" is written on the back of the same piece of paper.

===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 this version of the 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 colored 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."

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

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

'''MATT:''' Hey Mike, we just made this a couple weeks ago!

'''MIKE:''' Two weeks ago, Matt! Teen Girl Squad number ten!

'''MATT:''' We didn't know if we'd make it...

'''MIKE:''' We did.

'''MATT:''' So, there's a big deal— a lot of big deals in this Teen Girl Squad! There's colors...

'''MIKE:''' ...colors...

'''MATT:''' ...there's— there's three D's, in quotes...

'''MIKE:''' ...and lots of corn. And samurais.

'''MATT:''' I like this little samurai.

'''MIKE:''' He just sounds like old Strong Bad.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Str— that's right. Strong Bad was a s—, a samurai. Not a wrestleman.

'''MIKE:''' I spelled Nick-at-Nite wrong there.

'''MATT:''' Did you? How'd you spell it?

'''MIKE:''' Oh, I spelled vicious earlier— wrong earlier too.

'''MATT:''' We should change that.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. So when you're listening to this commentary, we're talking about some misspellings that aren't actually there!

'''MATT:''' Maybe! Depending on how lazy we are.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, maybe we won't fix them.

'''MATT:''' Look at— I love the way Cheerleader looks right now. She's—

'''MIKE:''' I like the Ugly One's smile right there. She's got Marzipan's smile.

'''MATT:''' That is the single best moment of any cartoon we've ever made. Mike, I, I— we talked about—

'''MIKE:''' Ah, look at that!

'''MATT:''' That's sweet deal. I agree, Strong Bad. So, uh, we spent way too much time on that.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. That was sort of the reason we why kept What's Her Face spinning there, was because we spent so much time on those, like, spinning animations that we wanted to, uh, get some more use out of it.

'''MATT:''' Just blomp  it. Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Look, here's all your favorite past TGS friends! Including Mrs. Commanderson!

'''MATT:''' And Henry Rollins from the liar video by Rollins band!

'''MIKE:''' Look, here's the techno remix of Teen Girl Squad theme song!

'''MATT:''' Yeah. That middle Scotsman looks kind of like our friend John. We really— and it looks kind of like a drawing that John would do, too. We later learned that that's wrong. The caber toss is not about distance.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' It's not about distance.

'''MATT:''' It's about straightness.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I guess.

'''MATT:''' She's more can opener'd than lathe'd, there.

'''MIKE:''' Can opener'd maybe would have been better.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Lathe'd is fine.

'''MATT:''' Tompkins is playing his really, really old Game Boy that weighed, like, five pounds.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Maybe he's playing Battletoads, maybe?

'''MATT:''' Ooh, Tecmobowl?

'''MIKE:''' I think those are the two games, we had. That and Tetris for— those and Tetris, for the—

'''MATT:''' Right.

'''MIKE:''' —old green Game Boys.

'''MATT:''' Uh, The Ugly One's dad is, um—

'''MIKE:''' —a slob!

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' A fat slob!

'''MIKE:''' So, Manolios; Matt, tell everyone about Manolios!

'''MATT:''' Manolios! Uh, my wife and I went to Greece this summer and we got to take a ride on the Manolios boat around Santorini.

'''MIKE:''' And Matt didn't shut up about it for about a month afterwards, ''{incomprehensible}''

'''MATT:''' It was— it was the best thing ever.

'''MIKE:''' Aw, look at Mr. Pitters!

'''MATT:''' Oh, he's got corn— he had corn in his pocket; I don't know if you noticed that, and he had some razor burn. Because he had to shave really quickly for the prom, and to ask The Ugly One to marry her ''[sic]]'' at the prom, apparently.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, ooh, my!

'''MATT:''' That's— that's a little much, Strong Bad.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, look at this! Twenty frames, uh, a second animation instead of our usual twelve.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it really throws everyone off.

'''MIKE:''' I kinda like it, uh, maybe I want to start doing some more stuff. It definitely took a lot longer.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. That's the problem.

'''MIKE:''' Roughly eighty percent longer!

'''MATT:''' ''{incomprehensible noise}'' ''{imitating Strong Sad}'' Loose leaf?

==Fun Facts==

===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]], [[Wikipedia:Wedding|weddings]], new babies, and characters getting [[Wikipedia:Killed off|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 higher [[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 and a few minor effects such as So And So's spinning eyes seem a little smoother than normal.
*If The Ugly One's dad's name is Manolios Ugly One, then "Ugly One" is actually her surname; making The Ugly One's first name "The". This also calls to mind So And So's step-mom being named [[Mrs. So-and-so-erson]], and What's-Her-Face possibly having the surname "Her-Face".
*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 ARROWED II page, you can faintly see the ARROWED page beneath it.
*This toon, the 10th issue special, was released on October 10, or 10/10.
*So And So's teeth are 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 "SO GOOD!" are opaque; the lines on the paper aren't visible inside them.
*When Strong Bad says "It's over", it sounds like the making-out page is still in his mouth. However, "It's over" is written on the back of the same piece of paper.

===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 this version of the 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 colored 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."

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

'''MATT:''' Hey Mike, we just made this a couple weeks ago!

'''MIKE:''' Two weeks ago, Matt! Teen Girl Squad number ten!

'''MATT:''' We didn't know if we'd make it...

'''MIKE:''' We did.

'''MATT:''' So, there's a big deal— a lot of big deals in this Teen Girl Squad! There's colors...

'''MIKE:''' ...colors...

'''MATT:''' ...there's— there's three D's, in quotes...

'''MIKE:''' ...and lots of corn. And samurais.

'''MATT:''' I like this little samurai.

'''MIKE:''' He just sounds like old Strong Bad.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Str— that's right. Strong Bad was a s—, a samurai. Not a wrestleman.

'''MIKE:''' I spelled Nick-at-Nite wrong there.

'''MATT:''' Did you? How'd you spell it?

'''MIKE:''' Oh, I spelled vicious earlier— wrong earlier too.

'''MATT:''' We should change that.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. So when you're listening to this commentary, we're talking about some misspellings that aren't actually there!

'''MATT:''' Maybe! Depending on how lazy we are.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, maybe we won't fix them.

'''MATT:''' Look at— I love the way Cheerleader looks right now. She's—

'''MIKE:''' I like the Ugly One's smile right there. She's got Marzipan's smile.

'''MATT:''' That is the single best moment of any cartoon we've ever made. Mike, I, I— we talked about—

'''MIKE:''' Ah, look at that!

'''MATT:''' That's sweet deal. I agree, Strong Bad. So, uh, we spent way too much time on that.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. That was sort of the reason we why kept What's Her Face spinning there, was because we spent so much time on those, like, spinning animations that we wanted to, uh, get some more use out of it.

'''MATT:''' Just blomp  it. Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Look, here's all your favorite past TGS friends! Including Mrs. Commanderson!

'''MATT:''' And Henry Rollins from the liar video by Rollins band!

'''MIKE:''' Look, here's the techno remix of Teen Girl Squad theme song!

'''MATT:''' Yeah. That middle Scotsman looks kind of like our friend John. We really— and it looks kind of like a drawing that John would do, too. We later learned that that's wrong. The caber toss is not about distance.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' It's not about distance.

'''MATT:''' It's about straightness.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I guess.

'''MATT:''' She's more can opener'd than lathe'd, there.

'''MIKE:''' Can opener'd maybe would have been better.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Lathe'd is fine.

'''MATT:''' Tompkins is playing his really, really old Game Boy that weighed, like, five pounds.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Maybe he's playing Battletoads, maybe?

'''MATT:''' Ooh, Tecmobowl?

'''MIKE:''' I think those are the two games, we had. That and Tetris for— those and Tetris, for the—

'''MATT:''' Right.

'''MIKE:''' —old green Game Boys.

'''MATT:''' Uh, The Ugly One's dad is, um—

'''MIKE:''' —a slob!

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' A fat slob!

'''MIKE:''' So, Manolios; Matt, tell everyone about Manolios!

'''MATT:''' Manolios! Uh, my wife and I went to Greece this summer and we got to take a ride on the Manolios boat around Santorini.

'''MIKE:''' And Matt didn't shut up about it for about a month afterwards, ''{incomprehensible}''

'''MATT:''' It was— it was the best thing ever.

'''MIKE:''' Aw, look at Mr. Pitters!

'''MATT:''' Oh, he's got corn— he had corn in his pocket; I don't know if you noticed that, and he had some razor burn. Because he had to shave really quickly for the prom, and to ask The Ugly One to marry her ''[sic]]'' at the prom, apparently.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, ooh, my!

'''MATT:''' That's— that's a little much, Strong Bad.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, look at this! Twenty frames, uh, a second animation instead of our usual twelve.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it really throws everyone off.

'''MIKE:''' I kinda like it, uh, maybe I want to start doing some more stuff. It definitely took a lot longer.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. That's the problem.

'''MIKE:''' Roughly eighty percent longer!

'''MATT:''' ''{incomprehensible noise}'' ''{imitating Strong Sad}'' Loose leaf?

The Interview

Apology — Sat, 28 Jan 2006 02:44:22 GMT

Apology:

{{aboutshort}} {{foremail|interview}} {{for|real-world interviews|Interviews and Public Appearances}}

[[Image:theinterview.png|200px|thumb|'Well, if you take a look at my reh-zoom..."]]

Strong Bad has decided to interview Homestar to find out what "his freakin' problem" is. As expected, the process is quite painful, since Homestar answers most of the questions in his usual ignorant manner. At least Homestar provides one good answer.

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

'''Places:''' [[Smoky Office]], [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (place)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]], [[The Field]]

'''Date:''' 2002

'''Running Time:''' 2:47

'''Page Title:''' Interview

__TOC__

== Transcript ==
''{opens with Strong Bad on a typewriter in the Smoky Office, which has the words "Strong Bad; Total Journalist" on the window--the 'camera' rotates around Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrating, typing}'' Truly there are few guys as stupid as Homestar Runner. But I wanted to unravel all the idiotic ramblings and speech impediments, and get down to the chewy caramel center of this no-armed whitey. What I found was not pretty. It was slimy and smelly and kinda stung my eyes.

''{cut to Marshmallow's Last Stand, where Strong Bad is sitting. We can see Homestar walk by while he talks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrating}'' So, Dumbstar has me meet him in this fruity little marshmallow stand he always goes to. He kept me waiting for a good half hour and I actually watched him walk by the place three or four times before he finally came in.

''{Homestar enters and sits down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the crap were you doing out there?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Out where?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Outside! I watched you prance by, like, five times, man.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I doubt it. I drove.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You don't own a car.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, you're probably right.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, let's get down to brass tacks.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ohhh, I didn't bring any. I drove.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Augh, this is gonna be painful.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What, the tacks? I bet. Try not to sit on 'em.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, stupid! This is an interview!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, well allow me to introduce myself. My name is Homestar Runner, and I feel that I would be a great asset to your company.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, shut up. Now, first question: What's your freakin' problem?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{hands over a grocery list}'' Well if you take a look at my resumé ''{pronounces it as spelled, without the accent, like [[Foreign words|reh-zoom]]}'', you'll see that I have quite a bit of experience in many different related fields.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Cut the crap! Just tell me what your freaking problem is!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I can't really think of any.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{groaning}'' Ohhhh. Moving on. I've heard you enjoy prancing around like an idiot. Is this true?

''{Homestar is outside prancing around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' La-dee-la-da-da-la-dee.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I suppose that answers my question. ''{Homestar enters and sits down.}'' Now, tell us about your girlfriend Marzipan. What's her deal?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' She told me today that she thinks your baking has really improved lately.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, my baking, eh? I do enjoy baking every once and again.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Interesting. I'll take note of that. ''{pulls out a notepad and pen}'' So, what else do you do in your spare time?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I like to do the Jumble sometimes and—hey wait! I'm asking the questions here! So, who do you think would win in a fight: Strong Sad or The Cheat?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, man. That's not even fair. ''{cuts to The Field with Strong Sad and The Cheat. As Homestar talks, what he says is added to the scene.}'' The Cheat would win with both hands duct-taped behind his back, and has little pieces of duct tape covering his eyes, and Strong Sad can have a spear even. ''{The Cheat jumps on Strong Sad, knocking him down, and the spear flies behind the Cheat, cutting the duct tape from his hands as it sticks in the ground. The Cheat then removes the duct tape from his eyes and grabs the spear.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' En garde?

''{cuts back to Marshmallow's Last Stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa-ho-ho! Good answer. We might have to set that up someday.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, yeah, that'd be great.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, it can only go down from here, so... get out of my face.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{outside prancing around.}'' La-dee-la-da-da-da-da-da-da-doo-doo...

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*Homestar's grocery list reads:<br>
<pre>eggs
beans
five
dentifrice
macho nachos
jam</pre>

*''Dentifrice'' is "a powder, paste, or liquid for cleaning the teeth."

===Remarks===
*We finally get to see how Strong Bad types with boxing gloves... somewhat.
*This is the first time that Homestar's speech impediment ''and'' [[Lack of Visible Arms|lack of arms]] are explicitly mentioned.
*Mike doesn't usually put anyone's walking sequence in movie clips so that they can be tweened.
*In the [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD|Yello Dello]] commentary, Strong Bad states that he has never worn oven mitts. However, he does enjoy baking, as revealed by this cartoon and is reinforced in the first installment of [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]].
*Both Strong Sad and The Cheat are shown in their older designs in this toon.

=== Goofs ===
*When Homestar walks into Marshmallow's Last Stand, you hear nothing even though there is a bell attached to the door. The bell can be seen when Strong Bad and Homestar Runner are shown from the side.
*The ashtray doesn't rotate with the rest of the Smoky Office.
*Strong Bad's arms are missing during the Smoky Office rotation scene. You can easily see this in the very beginning of the toon.

===Inside References===
*The location of the interview is [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (place)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]], which was also featured in an old toon by [[Marshmallow's Last Stand|the same name]].
*Homestar's prancing and singing is the same as in [[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]].

===Fast Forward===
*Strong Bad mentions that he enjoys doing [[Wikipedia:Jumble|Jumbles]]. This is also revealed in the email [[caper]], where Strong Bad and The Cheat break into [[Homestar's House|Homestar's house]] to steal his Jumbles.
*The room in which Strong Bad is typing on a typewriter is the same as Dangeresque's office in [[stunt double]] and [[dangeresque 3]].

===Real-World References===
*Homestar's line, "Yeah, yeah, that'd be great," is likely a reference to the character Bill Lumbergh in the [[Wikipedia:Mike Judge|Mike Judge]] film ''[[Wikipedia:Office Space|Office Space]]''.

===Commentary Transcript===

('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Homestar Runner]])

'''MIKE:''' Total Journalist, eh, S— Matt, er, Strong Bad.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, it's Homestar!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, it's Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You are ''so'' mixed up!

'''MIKE:''' Look at this 3D-ness right here, ''{incomprehensible}'' Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Whoa. Strong Bad has a flat face.

'''MIKE:''' That— we used a— I think we used a jib arm for that, maybe?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' A jib— I like the cut of your jib arm, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks. So, uh...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Look at that! Strong Bad's smoking it out!

'''MIKE:''' You know, we did this interview for a... magazine, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{simultaneously}'' A maze-a-gheen!

'''MIKE:''' A maze-a-gheen called Metropop and, uh—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I remember! It was Paul Frank!

'''MIKE:''' ...we decided to make a cartoon of it. And originally, it was just exclusive in the magazine; it had the URL, and—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's right; it was secretly hidden!

'''MIKE:''' That's right.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And then we got away with— with not having to do a cartoon one week!

'''MIKE:''' There you are, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' 'Cause this was done. Look; why's my shirt so pink?

'''MIKE:''' It's not quite as red as it is nowadays, is it?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' It's more of a magenta.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What gives? Turn up my CMYK, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' ''{softly}'' Right.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad's neck seems longer than normal. ''{brief pause, Homestar in the toon says, "My name is Homestar Runner."}'' That's still true!

'''MIKE:''' I know. So, you're interviewing for a job, here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I thought I was. But then—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Have you gotten a job yet?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I did! I think. I got hired... yeah, see.

'''MIKE:''' Your... your résumé has dentifrice on it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' And beans.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{laughing}'' Right. I have a lot of experience of experience in both... fields.

'''MIKE:''' Okay. Do you have teeth?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Umm, Mike, let's change the subject abruptly.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' There I go! Um, so... why is my silhouette purple?

'''MIKE:''' I— I don't know. It should be— I would prefer it to be black.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah. That was tha— Is that how you do it these days?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah. Sometimes I go to this marshmallow place with Marzipan. ''{brief pause}'' Did you know that?

'''MIKE:''' I— I've seen you there once.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah. I said some— ti— one times.

'''MIKE:''' We use that notebook a lot.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' We've used that notebook that you're using a few times since then.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Really? What else do I use it?

'''MIKE:''' Well, I know Strong Bad uses it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh yeah?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Uh, a couple times.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. This is unfair.

'''MIKE:''' People always—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I feel like this is mis— mitch-match— mitch-matched.

'''MIKE:''' People always email Strong Bad and ask him to set up the fight between The Cheat and Strong Sad.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But they just saw it!

'''MIKE:''' But they just saw it! But they still— I don't get it!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It was in my brains, but they saw it.

'''MIKE:''' It was in your brains?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It was a little drippy in there.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Watch out. For some cerebral fluids.

'''MIKE:''' That's enough, Homestar. I don't want to talk about you. Or talk to you.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sounding hurt}'' Oh.

Strong Bad has decided to interview Homestar to find out what "his freakin' problem" is. As expected, the process is quite painful, since Homestar answers most of the questions in his usual ignorant manner. At least Homestar provides one good answer.

__TOC__

== Transcript ==
''{opens with Strong Bad on a typewriter in the Smoky Office, which has the words "Strong Bad; Total Journalist" on the window--the 'camera' rotates around Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrating, typing}'' Truly there are few guys as stupid as Homestar Runner. But I wanted to unravel all the idiotic ramblings and speech impediments, and get down to the chewy caramel center of this no-armed whitey. What I found was not pretty. It was slimy and smelly and kinda stung my eyes.

''{cut to Marshmallow's Last Stand, where Strong Bad is sitting. We can see Homestar walk by while he talks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrating}'' So, Dumbstar has me meet him in this fruity little marshmallow stand he always goes to. He kept me waiting for a good half hour and I actually watched him walk by the place three or four times before he finally came in.

''{Homestar enters and sits down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the crap were you doing out there?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Out where?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Outside! I watched you prance by, like, five times, man.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I doubt it. I drove.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You don't own a car.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, you're probably right.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, let's get down to brass tacks.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ohhh, I didn't bring any. I drove.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Augh, this is gonna be painful.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What, the tacks? I bet. Try not to sit on 'em.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, stupid! This is an interview!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, well allow me to introduce myself. My name is Homestar Runner, and I feel that I would be a great asset to your company.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, shut up. Now, first question: What's your freakin' problem?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{hands over a grocery list}'' Well if you take a look at my resumé ''{pronounces it as spelled, without the accent, like [[Foreign words|reh-zoom]]}'', you'll see that I have quite a bit of experience in many different related fields.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Cut the crap! Just tell me what your freaking problem is!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I can't really think of any.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{groaning}'' Ohhhh. Moving on. I've heard you enjoy prancing around like an idiot. Is this true?

''{Homestar is outside prancing around.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' La-dee-la-da-da-la-dee.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I suppose that answers my question. ''{Homestar enters and sits down.}'' Now, tell us about your girlfriend Marzipan. What's her deal?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' She told me today that she thinks your baking has really improved lately.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, my baking, eh? I do enjoy baking every once and again.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Interesting. I'll take note of that. ''{pulls out a notepad and pen}'' So, what else do you do in your spare time?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I like to do the Jumble sometimes and—hey wait! I'm asking the questions here! So, who do you think would win in a fight: Strong Sad or The Cheat?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, man. That's not even fair. ''{cuts to The Field with Strong Sad and The Cheat. As Homestar talks, what he says is added to the scene.}'' The Cheat would win with both hands duct-taped behind his back, and has little pieces of duct tape covering his eyes, and Strong Sad can have a spear even. ''{The Cheat jumps on Strong Sad, knocking him down, and the spear flies behind the Cheat, cutting the duct tape from his hands as it sticks in the ground. The Cheat then removes the duct tape from his eyes and grabs the spear.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' En garde?

''{cuts back to Marshmallow's Last Stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa-ho-ho! Good answer. We might have to set that up someday.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, yeah, that'd be great.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, it can only go down from here, so... get out of my face.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{outside prancing around.}'' La-dee-la-da-da-da-da-da-da-doo-doo...

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*Homestar's grocery list reads:<br>
<pre>eggs
beans
five
dentifrice
macho nachos
jam</pre>

*''Dentifrice'' is "a powder, paste, or liquid for cleaning the teeth."

===Remarks===
*We finally get to see how Strong Bad types with boxing gloves... somewhat.
*This is the first time that Homestar's speech impediment ''and'' [[Lack of Visible Arms|lack of arms]] are explicitly mentioned.
*Mike doesn't usually put anyone's walking sequence in movie clips so that they can be tweened.
*In the [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD|Yello Dello]] commentary, Strong Bad states that he has never worn oven mitts. However, he does enjoy baking, as revealed by this cartoon and is reinforced in the first installment of [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]].
*Both Strong Sad and The Cheat are shown in their older designs in this toon.

=== Goofs ===
*When Homestar walks into Marshmallow's Last Stand, you hear nothing even though there is a bell attached to the door. The bell can be seen when Strong Bad and Homestar Runner are shown from the side.
*The ashtray doesn't rotate with the rest of the Smoky Office.
*Strong Bad's arms are missing during the Smoky Office rotation scene. You can easily see this in the very beginning of the toon.

===Inside References===
*The location of the interview is [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (place)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]], which was also featured in an old toon by [[Marshmallow's Last Stand|the same name]].
*Homestar's prancing and singing is the same as in [[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]].

===Fast Forward===
*Strong Bad mentions that he enjoys doing [[Wikipedia:Jumble|Jumbles]]. This is also revealed in the email [[caper]], where Strong Bad and The Cheat break into [[Homestar's House|Homestar's house]] to steal his Jumbles.
*The room in which Strong Bad is typing on a typewriter is the same as Dangeresque's office in [[stunt double]] and [[dangeresque 3]].

===Real-World References===
*Homestar's line, "Yeah, yeah, that'd be great," is likely a reference to the character Bill Lumbergh in the [[Wikipedia:Mike Judge|Mike Judge]] film ''[[Wikipedia:Office Space|Office Space]]''.

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

===Commentary Transcript===

('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Homestar Runner]])

'''MIKE:''' Total Journalist, eh, S— Matt, er, Strong Bad.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, it's Homestar!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, it's Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You are ''so'' mixed up!

'''MIKE:''' Look at this 3D-ness right here, ''{incomprehensible}'' Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Whoa. Strong Bad has a flat face.

'''MIKE:''' That— we used a— I think we used a jib arm for that, maybe?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' A jib— I like the cut of your jib arm, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks. So, uh...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Look at that! Strong Bad's smoking it out!

'''MIKE:''' You know, we did this interview for a... magazine, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{simultaneously}'' A maze-a-gheen!

'''MIKE:''' A maze-a-gheen called Metropop and, uh—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I remember! It was Paul Frank!

'''MIKE:''' ...we decided to make a cartoon of it. And originally, it was just exclusive in the magazine; it had the URL, and—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's right; it was secretly hidden!

'''MIKE:''' That's right.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And then we got away with— with not having to do a cartoon one week!

'''MIKE:''' There you are, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' 'Cause this was done. Look; why's my shirt so pink?

'''MIKE:''' It's not quite as red as it is nowadays, is it?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' It's more of a magenta.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What gives? Turn up my CMYK, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' ''{softly}'' Right.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad's neck seems longer than normal. ''{brief pause, Homestar in the toon says, "My name is Homestar Runner."}'' That's still true!

'''MIKE:''' I know. So, you're interviewing for a job, here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I thought I was. But then—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Have you gotten a job yet?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I did! I think. I got hired... yeah, see.

'''MIKE:''' Your... your résumé has dentifrice on it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' And beans.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{laughing}'' Right. I have a lot of experience of experience in both... fields.

'''MIKE:''' Okay. Do you have teeth?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Umm, Mike, let's change the subject abruptly.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' There I go! Um, so... why is my silhouette purple?

'''MIKE:''' I— I don't know. It should be— I would prefer it to be black.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah. That was tha— Is that how you do it these days?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah. Sometimes I go to this marshmallow place with Marzipan. ''{brief pause}'' Did you know that?

'''MIKE:''' I— I've seen you there once.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah. I said some— ti— one times.

'''MIKE:''' We use that notebook a lot.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' We've used that notebook that you're using a few times since then.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Really? What else do I use it?

'''MIKE:''' Well, I know Strong Bad uses it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh yeah?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Uh, a couple times.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. This is unfair.

'''MIKE:''' People always—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I feel like this is mis— mitch-match— mitch-matched.

'''MIKE:''' People always email Strong Bad and ask him to set up the fight between The Cheat and Strong Sad.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But they just saw it!

'''MIKE:''' But they just saw it! But they still— I don't get it!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It was in my brains, but they saw it.

'''MIKE:''' It was in your brains?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It was a little drippy in there.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Watch out. For some cerebral fluids.

'''MIKE:''' That's enough, Homestar. I don't want to talk about you. Or talk to you.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sounding hurt}'' Oh.
