== Preview ==

If you're just testing stuff out, it's a good idea to hit the preview button on the edit page because every edit you make, even to your own pages ends up on the [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent Changes]] page. Another option is to use the [[HRWiki:Sandbox|Sandbox]]. {{User:Bassbone/sig}} 08:35, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

== Signature ==

Hey there, ArchiveMaker. I just wanted to let you know about our [[HRWiki:Signature|signature guidelines]], due to there being an issue with the height of your signature. Your signature can only be one line tall, while it is currently three. Simply removing the "ArchiveMaker: someone was here..." text at the top will fix this problem. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 12:24, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

== QUESTION: Discussion Page ==
Hey, for the discussion page, can anyone help me and answer me. My question is: Is the discussion page for casual talk, if not where can put my opinion without wrecking any articles on the site? answer soon, {{User:ArchiveMaker/sig}}
:Hey there. There is a link to a dedicated forum thread on each toon article (in the section "External Links" at the bottom of each article). The forum is the place to voice exactly the type of opinon you put on that talk page. Have fun and keep on trangling! :-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 12:47, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

== QUESTION: Email Subscription ==
If anyone could answer this, it would be great. Is there anyway that i could get an email notification for any significant changes to www.homestarrunner.com an www.hrwiki.org?
Thanks for answering my last question so quickly,{{User:ArchiveMaker/sig}}
:You could put [[H*R.com updates 2006]] on your watch list, and then check the "E-mail me when a page I'm watching is changed" box in "my preferences". (that would notify you of ''any'' change to homestarrunner.com) {{User:Trey56/sig}} 10:29, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

ArchiveMaker: /* DNA on your desk by five.... */

==Transcript==

Is it just the transcript that we can't touch? [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 22:14, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
:That's correct.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:17, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

==Edit Conflict'd==

I was trying to explain that the items advertised in the popup game parody are a reference to the scam where popups promise them free for participation by clicking the ad or playing the game, which usually results in spyware being downloaded to the user's computer. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 22:26, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

:Well... do you have any proof that they normally DO upload spyware? I mean, I think that it varies. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 22:31, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

==Pink Floy'd!!==

Can anyone verify whether or not the "cha-ching" in the gnome game is sampled from "Money"? It does sound like the same one... (And it would be sampled from "Money" if it's the same sound, because Roger Waters actually did record the little money clinks himself.)
:It isn't. If you listen to a cash register in ANY cartoon, it makes almost the same exact sound. If it is the same one, then it's not a reference, it's a sound effect that can be taken from about anywhere. --{{User:TotalSpaceshipGuy3/sig}} 23:36, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

==Goof?==

In the opening loading screen, the overhead reflections visible in the monitor can be easily seen. Should this be classified as a goof? --[[User:74.134.244.134|74.134.244.134]] 23:17, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

==Good Drawings'd==
when the xbox/ipod/psp pop up, they look like they have been photoshopped, but they have actually been imported into flash, then "Trace Bitmapp"'d, which makes them easy to manipulate in flash.

==Travelocity==

I don't think it's Travelocity. I think it's just a random character like the others. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 23:27, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

== Misculanious fun fact... ==

I did this 'cause I was kinda bored so I went I played that Taser the Gnome Easter Egg just to see the limit on the amount of digits the score will allow and from what I've played, it goes up to six digits with that last one being cut-off slightly. - {{User:Ren Foxx/sig}} 23:35, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

== Space Whale ==

I don't know if it's Fun Fact-worthy, but it occurs to me that a space whale of sorts was featured in [[Drive-Thru]]. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:36, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

== DNA on your desk by five.... ==

did i just miss it, but should we mention that Homestar referred to DNA in this email, just like the past couple emails?
not quite sure....

::We apologize, Angela, but the conspicuousness of the ads is not the concern; any profit made off of this site would be a horrible violation of the "free use" that our wiki so rests on.

ArchiveMaker: /* Fun fact */

== I have a question. ==

I just added something to this entry, (my first entry ever! YAY!) and I then set up an account with a username and all, and I realized that it didn't track my identity once I created the account (ie: my IP address is given credit for the change, while my user account "kokoloko" isn't.) Is there any way to fix this? (Sorry about how discombobulated this message is, I am extremely tired :) )
:No. Edits made by IPs are forever logged as edits made by IPs; else I'd have taken credit for starting [[Wikipedia:Clockwork Knight 2]] a long while ago back at, well, [[Wikipedia:Main Page|Wikipedia]].
:General tip: don't forget your signature. That'd be four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>), if you didn't know. [[User:Shadow Hog|Shadow Hog]] 17:30, 16 Nov 2004 (MST)

== Fun Facts ==

I don't know if this is very fun, but in the B. Ryan Holmes easter egg, the phone number is given as 555-XYLM. This is probably a reference to '[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylem xylem]', which is a part of a plant. So it'd make sense given the easter egg being about trees. --[[User:69.81.102.139|69.81.102.139]] 02:40, 26 Feb 2005 (MST) (I really need to sign up on the hrwiki some time.)

Firebird, how is my funfact a "may be" and not definate?--[[User:-erson|-erson]] 00:47, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

:We're not for sure if it's refering to [[autobiography]]. A definate fun fact would be, say, Strong Bad saying the exact same phrase that he did in a certain email. →''<small><tt>[[User:FireBird|<font color=green>FireBird</font>]]</tt></small>''

== Collections Agency ==

Bubs' collections agency letter is retaliation for Strong Bad's collections agency prank in [[lackey]].

==Closed STUFF==

=== Tappity Tappity (Declined)===
When Strong Bad dismisses the email's text to make room for his new text, as he does often, it makes the standard typing sound effects instead of the hard "enter" hitting sound.

* Although it was deleted as "not fun", I'm not too sure that it deserves it. Your opinions? --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 00:03, 5 Feb 2005 (MST)
*'''Decline.''' Strong Bad often clears the screen by just typing more, analogous to a 'soft return' onto the next page. -- [[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 14:39, 6 Feb 2005 (PST)
*'''Decline.''' Who cares? Fun facts are supposed to be, well, FUN. They're not about picking out every insignifcant detail. [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Accept''' Yeah its a good fun fact? all ya'lls are too picky [[User:Extremejon|Extremejon]]
*'''Accept.''' Seems to me like a good fact. It's definitely a glitch if TBC usually use the 'enter' noise. →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 17:20, 12 Feb 2005 (MST)
**You know Evin290, TBC mock fans who use logic like that (Homestar does NOT have a stupid uncle egg). [[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]

*'''Accept''' On my computer, both sound different. Anyway, I think its good enough to be in there. -[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]]
*'''Decline''', If we acepted this than we'd have to accept all the other fun facts that mentioned a slight, often unimportant, difference. --[[User:flashstorm|flashstorm]] 15:26, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)
**'''Comment''' That's a good point. Too bad you didn't sign your post. [[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]]
**Did now --[[User:flashstorm|flashstorm]] 15:26, 14 Mar 2005 (MST)
***Ok then. -[[User:acekirby13|acekirby13]]

On the early Simpsons episode, "Lisa's Pony", when Homer acts like he won the lottery by covering up the ticket with his thumb, Apu says "Please to be removing your thumb".

== Estimated ages? ==

Strong Bad says "Oh, yeah. I feel at least 10 years younger! Time to go relate with some 18-24 year olds!" This brings up two ideas. He goes to see Strong Sad, so that leads me to believe that Strong Sad is 18-24. Also, if Strong Bad wants to relate to people around 10 years younger than his real age, that could mean he's 28-34 years old.

::Also, why would he choose Strong Sad to relate to? That angle doesn't make sense. But you'll note that Matt is 30 and Mike is 33 - that's ''their'' age, no? One could assume (if one was prone to speculation) that Strong Bad is about their age. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 17:40, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

:::I see nothing contradictory in 'The Secrets That I Keep'. All it shows is what went on in their childhood, and it has no reference to ages whatsoever.

::::Still, this may give an age range for Strong Bad, but it offers nothing useful toward determining Strong Sad's age. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:15, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

:::::I think the comment about relating to 18-24 yr olds is based on that being considered the key demographic for those who specialize in "edgy humor." So I really don't think that it can in anyway be seen as a way to estimate Strong Bad's age (there have been plenty of people of all ages who have tried to appeal to this demographic, often by changing their appearence), as for why he picks Strong Sad???? That has me baffled too, unless you want to take into account that Strong Sad listens to college radio and '''may''' be of that age group (although I think we're getting really speculative here, well beyond encyclopedic bounds.)- {{User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C/Sig}} 19:28, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

::::::Or he could be joking or wrong. He's not the smartesr fork in the shead you know. He make many mistakes and we know how bad he is when it comes to technoligy. Though I'm only saying this becaus I'm against Srong bad being older than me. [[User Yo yo mom|Yo yo mom]]

== L'Chaim ==

Hey there Elcoolio, I wanted to ask you about L'Chaim as is pertains to this article. As I have heard it pronounce L'Chaim in hebrew is a three syllibol phrase (lo-high-em) whereas chai in english is one syllibol (ch-i). Isn't this just a coincidence in spelling? {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 17:41, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
:''{What is written here is not from the perspective of someone who deeply studied the language, just of someone speaking it. Please read with it as such}'' Well, I'm not going to meddle in the affairs of Wikipedia, but I would have spelled "Lekhaim" (as I like to differentiate between the English or Hindi sound from the Hebrew one, but that would have ruined the joke). You can pronounce it le-kha-yim, or le-kha-im, but not "lo-high-em" or anything like that, unless you want to sound like a heavy-accented tourist. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:52, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
::but I am a heavily accented tourist. I know how to make that scratchy k sound in le-kha-im, I just don't know what that sound is called or how to write it. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 17:54, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
:::The Hebrew letter for the sound is [[Wikipedia:Heth (letter)|Khet]] and the sound is called [[Wikipedia:Voiceless uvular fricative|Voiceless uvular fricative]]. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 18:06, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
:::In addition to what E.L. Cool said, it's most commonly written in english as "ch", but it can also be shown as "Ḥ". As Roz analogizes in [[Wikipedia:Meet the Fockers|Meet the Fockers]], "it's like you've got popcorn stuck in your throat". If you wanted to hear it said or where you place your tongue when you say it, I'm sure that could be arranged. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:24, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

== Woman's Rights? ==
Don't you think that when Strong Bad says to Marzipan "I'm legally obligatted to have you here," is a reference to woman's right movements? - [[User:Zerlock1124|Zerlock1124]]
: It could be any of a number of things. Maybe he lost a bet and foolishly signed a contract. Maybe she sued him for not appearing in enough Strong Bad Emails. Who can really say without more info? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:53, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
::Nah, I think it is a women's rights thing. When I went to school there was something called title IX, which basically said for every male sport, there had to be one female sport also. I think that this is something similiar. SB is being forced to have a woman there and he resents it. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 21:31, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
:::I can see arguments for a lot of possibilities, including that, but it amounts to speculation in the end. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:32, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
I thought of affirmative action laws whenever I first saw this, but later wondered if it had anything to do with Title IX instead. Seeing the amiguity of this and how one speculate so much about this, I figure that we probably shouldn't list anything relating to this as a Fun Fact. {{User:Garnet Jell-o/sig}} 22:02, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

How do you pronounce that? [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 21:19, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

:The most simple way to put it in english is "sow", as in a female pig. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:27, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
::Actually, the correct pronunciation is more like "shyow". I'm taking Chinese, so I have some experience with this. In Mainland China, it would actually be written as "Xiao", but Taiwan uses a different romanization. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 22:43, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

== Explicitly from Asia? ==

I think the fact that says "first email from Asia" should read "First email explicitly from Asia" as some emails don't have a place(who knows, maybe the 2nd email in the Ali and Ali's sister ep. was sent from Asia)
:Yeah, and what about that Horse woman thingy?-[[User:LordQuackingstick|LordQuackingstick]] 21:23, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

:::::"Naomi" is a common female first name in Japan, however she says she is from "AB" and according to wikipedia, the only AB that is a place is Aberdeen in the UK
:::::I can't figure out where they're even from... [[Strong Bad Email By Place]] doesn't list it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::::::THere is also a similar Hebrew name נעמי. I believe the English transliteration would be Naomi. Perhaps she is Israeli?{{User:Geshmalderborgen/sig}} 22:52, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::::I've known several Naomis here in the states, and of course Canada uses many of the same names we do. I don't see any reason to assume any place but Alberta. P.S.: Why are we discussing this here and not on [[Talk:E-mail Birds]]? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 22:55, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing loudly in [[Wikipedia:Falsetto|falsetto]]}'' Why do I check emails the way I do? I don't know. ''{begins reading}''
<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Ladies...</div>
Dear Strongest of the Bads,<br>
We are two desperate losers who could never get any<br>
ladies. Since you're such a lady expert, could you give us<br>
any tips on lady...ing.<br>
Your 2nd and 3rd best Friends Ever,<br>
Lorenzo and Fillbert
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Strongest of the Bads" very quickly and rhythmically. After reading "could never get any ladies", he says "Oooh, something I would not openly admit." He reads "lady...ing." as "lady?(pause)ing?"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 2nd and 3rd best friends?? What about Fabrosi? What'd you two do to  Fabrosi? Eh, whatever. That guy's probably out lady-ing with that fake mustache he always wears. It's only gonna attract gold-diggers. ''{clears screen}'' Desperate losers or not, you guys should remember that I addressed this issue, like, 5 or 6 years ago. In fact, I think it mighta been the first email I ever checked. The Cheat, roll that beautiful email footage!

''{Cut to the computer desk. The Cheat walks in holding a Laserdisc.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, a Laserdisc. ''{music starts and The Cheat spins the disc as Strong Bad sings}'' The Cheat's playin' something on a Laserdisc. Everything is better on Laserdisc. Whatever happened to the Laserdisc? Laserdisc! ''{The Cheat and Strong Bad touch hands as the music stops.}''

''{The Cheat walks to the left. Cut to the old loading screen from [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], then to the Arena from the same toon. Throughout this section of the email, the animation and voices are in the same style as the old toon. Cut to a close-up on the Announcer.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And in the red corner, hailing from Parts Unknown, ''{holds microphone closer}'' the Ramblin' Wreck of Email Check, Strong Bad!

''{Cut to the corner of the wrestling ring, which contains a table with the Tandy on it. Strong Bad pops out from a trapdoor and lands with a loud thud.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Greetings all you morones ''{"morons" with Strong Bad's old, affected Mexican accent}''. Holy crap! Welcome to the Strong Bad show, where I check a real email from one of you ''{leans in toward the camera}'' ''stupid'' idiots.

''{The crowd boos. Strong Bad produces an anvil and hurls it at them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, you a-shut up!

''{The anvil lands with a crash. Someone in the crowd says "Ow!" Strong Bad laughs at him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now let's a-holy crap get to business!

''{Strong Bad walks over to the Tandy and brings up the email somehow. He reads:}''

<blockquote class="tandy email" style="background-image:none">Dear Strong Bad,<br />
I am a desperate loser. Can you<br />
give me any tips on lady-ing?<br />
Your 1st best Friend ever,<br />
Fabrosi</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' But of course. When it comes to the ladies, I've got no... competition! ''{He jumps up and shakes as he says it.}'' ''{very quietly}'' Holy crap.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' First, Fabrosi, you've got to look as much as possible like the Strong Bad. ''{He points to himself with both hands.}'' Take off your shirt, ''{produces some sandpaper}'' sand off your nipples, ''{rubs it on his chest; the camera pans down to his feet}'' and wear tight pants that accentuate all your suppleties. ''{He swivels his body around once.}'' But sometimes ''{swivels it again}'' that's not enough, and you have to douse yourself in the finest ''{produces a can of gasoline}'' Mongolian aftershave lotion.

''{He douses himself as the crowd cheers "Yay!" Strong Bad walks off and over to Homestar Runner (sans cap) and Marzipan. Gasoline fumes emanate above Strong Bad's head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, Marzipan. Do you want a-my bod! ''{He jumps up and shakes as he says it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, Strong Bad, why do you smell like a garage?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Me too!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why, you... A-take a-this!

''{He leaps at Homestar, somersaulting over and over with a helicopter-like noise. He lands right on Homestar's head. There is a huge explosion of stars as Homestar is knocked to the mat, stars spinning above his eyes.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh!

''{Cut to a close-up of Strong Bad on top of the ropes. He is no longer emanating gasoline fumes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The ladies also can't resist... ''{All of the sudden his chest is very defined; his biceps bulge up.}'' ...muscular wrestling moves... ''{The camera pulls back.}'' ...off the top rope!

''{Strong Bad leaps from the top rope and crashes right on Homestar, who is still down. There is another starry explosion.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ow!

''{Cut to Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ooh, that's resistable.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And if that doesn't work, bring out your cute baby brother ''{Strong Sad walks up but falls through the ground when a trapdoor appears}'' or holy-crap-adorable pet ''{The Cheat walks in from the right}''.

''{The Cheat squeaks softly and bats his bright blue eyes.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{frowning}'' Now it smells like a garage with a litter box in it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, I told you to wear finest Mongolian aftershave lotion!

''{The Cheat hums and bats his eyes some more. Strong Bad kicks him out of the ring.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' If all else fails...

''{Cut to a table set up in the ring, complete with a tablecloth, two candles, and a serving platter. The Cheat, humming, flies overhead and crashes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...employ the secret weapon: ''{The lid lifts off the serving platter to reveal two burritos and a tin of Mungo's Caviar.}'' A candlelit dinner with caviar burritos and finest cigars!

''{Strong Bad, who has begun emanating gasoline fumes again, holds a cigar up to one of the candles to light it. Naturally, it explodes}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aaahhh!

''{Strong Bad's head begins to crack and then shatters, leaving just his mouth.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You see, Strong Bad? What the luscious ladies really want is a guy that still has a face and head.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{leaning toward Homestar}'' Yeah, me too!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still mostly headless}'' Holy crap.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm a star!

''{He leaps into a freeze frame. The background turns orange and the words "The End" appear in the corner as the old theme music plays. Mike Chapman can be heard in the background, saying "ding ding ding ding ding da ding ding ding" in time with the theme music. Cut back to Strong Bad, now asleep and snoring at the Lappy. He wakes up with a start.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Aught? What? Ooot? Oh, yeah. Boy, those old cartoons still pack a whallop. Uh, so yeah, Danny. Now's a great time to plant cucumbers. Stocks are up, stipes are down. And old Strong Bad's got a date with a bowl of creme brulee ice creme. Cream.

''{He gets up. After a couple of seconds, the camera pans right to reveal him still at the table, snoring away. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on the word "And" to see Homestar following Strong Bad's advice... sort of.
*:''{Homestar and Marzipan are standing in The Field. Homestar appears to be wearing a very wide fake mustache}''
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So, ladytype, I'm wearin' tight pants ''{shakes a leg}'' so as to accentuate all my bubbleties!
*:'''MARZIPAN:''' Have I broken up with you yet?
*:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, a couple times.
*Click on the "Genghis Khan" disk in the [[Floppy Disk Container]] to see a bottle of "[[Wikipedia:Genghis Khan|Genghis Khan]]" lotion for women ("Smell like a Warlord!").
*Click on Strong Bad's head to see a brief dream of him somersaulting over a canyon.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*A [[Wikipedia:Stipe|stipe]] is a supporting stalk or stemlike structure, especially the stalk of a pistil, the petiole of a fern frond, or the stalk that supports the cap of a mushroom.
*A Gold digger, is a person which marries/dates someone for their money or for a profitable reason.

=== Trivia ===
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#genghis khan|genghis khan]]".
*This is the first time we see the [[Floppy Disk Container]] close up.
*This is the only cartoon on the entire site to use the word nipple.

===Remarks===
*The "early version" Homestar in this email has a lower voice than his Marshmallow's Last Stand counterpart, sounding slightly more like his modern self. Strong Bad's voice is also slightly more relaxed and sounds more like his modern counterpart.
*Strong Bad does a flip jump like Stinkoman in [[Stinkoman 20X6]].
*When Strong Bad does his flips, his boots are red, not black.
*The sound that The Cheat makes as he flies over the table is similar to the sound he makes in [[Main Page 20]] when he flies out of a pile of grapes.
*Even though Strong Bad says he would not ''openly'' admit that he could never get [[Strong Bad's Ladies|ladies]], he did ''accidentally'' say he doesn't know anything about the ladies at the end of [[lures & jigs]].
*Strong Bad omits four [[Wikipedia:Diacritic|diacritical marks]] in the words "creme brulee" and in "ice creme" Instead, they should be spelled "crème brûlée" and "ice crème", respectively.
*Although Strong Bad says "[[Crap|Holy crap]]" a lot in the flashback, he never actually used this phrase in Marshmallow's Last Stand. In fact, the catch phrase wasn't used until [[The Reddest Radish]], which was in an entirely different style and time period.
*Adorable The Cheat has similar blue eyes to [[Cheatball]]'s.
*In the email [[2 years]], Strong Bad claims that his main man "is, and has been since [[1987]], Van Mundegaarde", making no mention of Fabrosi.
*If Strong Bad did indeed sand off his nipples, they would likely have grown back by now. Nipples are one of the few body parts that regenerate.

===Goofs===
*In the "dream" Easter egg, Strong Bad starts outside the thought balloon.
*While Strong Bad is sleeping at the end of the email (after he ducks out for the creme brulee ice creme), the Lappy's screen doesn't give the distortion effect it usually does when you click on it.
*In the flashback, when Strong Bad enters the ring through the floor, his left hand goes through the floor because the hole is too narrow.
*During the entire email, the [[No Loafing Sign|"No Loafing" sign]] is missing.

===Inside References===
*The "really old email" is a parody of the wrestling scene in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], and is a repetition of a gag from [[personal favorites]].
*The [[HR:loading.swf|Loading...]] shot was also used in older cartoons.
*During the wrestling scene, Strong Bad pronounces "loser" and "competition" like on the [[Homestar Talker|Strong Bad talker]].
*Strong Bad calls Lorenzo (or Fillbert) [[Dan]]ny.
*This is another instance of Strong Bad [[Kicking The Cheat|kicking The Cheat]].
*The "Booooo!" [[Sound Effects|sound effects]] come from [[The Reddest Radish]].
*The mustachioed Homestar in the Easter egg is from [[Senorial Day#Easter_Eggs|Senorial Day]].
*When Homestar shakes his leg in the Easter egg, it is another reference to [[Homestar's Pants]].


===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Laserdisc|Laserdisc]] was the first commercial optical-disc storage medium, and the precursor to modern DVDs.
*The background riffs in the Laserdisc song are two of the "rock" bass demos on the Casio MT-100 keyboard.
*"Roll that beautiful email footage" is a reference to the [http://www.bushbeans.com/jayduke/ads.jsp Bush's Baked Beans commercials'] "Roll that beautiful bean footage."
*"Ramblin' Wreck of Email Check" is a reference to [http://www.gatech.edu Georgia Tech]. The first line of the fight song declares, "I'm a Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech..." Georgia Tech is in [[Wikipedia:Atlanta, Georgia|Atlanta]], also home to [[The Brothers Chaps]].
* [[Wikipedia:Genghis_khan|Genghis Khan]] was a [[Wikipedia:Mongolia|Mongolian]] warlord in the 13th century, which is where the "Mongolian aftershave lotion" and "Smell like a Warlord" come from.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh! It's a father-son email picnic! ''{typing}'' Y to the ou ''{pronounced "Yeah to the oo"}'' don't know ''what'' you're talkin' about, Pakeithpsy. Stooly here is a tush-cheek's dream. So cottony squish and pillowy fresh. Take a look-see!

''{Zoom out to show Strong Bad leaping off of the stool. The seat is filthy, and has the word "STANK" seeping out of it at various spots.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, it's been upgraded to Stank...

''{A face fades onto the seat of the stool and coughs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Eeew... Maybe it ''is'' time for a re-imagining of my email-checkin' chair...

'''STOOLY:''' ''{coughs again}'' I just need a lozenge...

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing outside Bubs' Concession Stand, with the camera centered behind Bubs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Bubs!

'''BUBS:''' Hey, customer!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What do you got in the way of things I can sit on whilst I check emails?

'''BUBS:''' Ooh! Lucky for you! I just got ''{places a box on the counter}'' this pre-owned box of chicken beaks in just now! Like ''right'' just now!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, okay, okay... But you got anything less anthrax-y?

'''BUBS:''' I got this old Winger album! ''{holds up the record case}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, yeah... that ''is'' less Anthrax-y. But I was kinda hoping for a chair of some kind.

'''BUBS:''' Step right into my showroom!

''{Bubs slides away. Cut to the side of Bubs' Concession Stand. As Strong Bad walks around, a portion of the wall falls outward, revealing a conveyor belt. Bubs rides on it standing on one foot.}''

'''BUBS:''' Steeeeeeeeeeeep! ''{jumps off conveyor belt}'' All right! We'll start at the tip, and work our way to the tup!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You make less sense every day, Bubsy.

'''BUBS:''' Crabberdonk!

''{The wall flips back up, then falls down again, revealing a red, white and blue bicycle seat on the conveyor belt.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, that's no chair! That's Red, White and Banana! My old bicycle seat!

''{Cut to a film-projected scene of Li'l Strong Bad riding the bicycle seat outside a porch.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I used to ride that thing on my paper route all the time!

''{Li'l Strong Bad lights a newspaper on fire with a [[BMW Lighter|Duplo lighter]] and throws it at the house. As it bounces off the door, the door begins to emit smoke, and Li'l Strong Bad laughs. Cut back to Strong Bad and Bubs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, I'd better pass on that. I had a few too many wipeouts on that thing as a kid.

'''BUBS:''' Ugh! You nasty!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

''{The wall rises again, and falls down with a chair shaped like Homestar Runner on it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What makes you think I want to check-a my email on a Homestar Runner-shaped chair?

'''BUBS:''' Aw, come on. Give it a try!

''{Strong Bad jumps onto the chair}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER CHAIR:''' Ow.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{jumping out of the chair}'' Wah!

'''BUBS:''' Whoops, seen enough of that one!

''{The wall rises and falls with a deformed gray lump vaguely resembling a chair.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, your snowman died!

'''BUBS:''' ''{cut to closeup of Bubs}'' You simpleton! This is a Danoob Largo original!

''{Cut to the chair. A Styleron Ecochair logo appears.}''

'''BUBS:''' The Styleron Ecochair!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{pan up to Strong Bad}'' Look, I don't care how Swedish your chair is. I have no need for a giant ''{pan back to the chair}'' albino doggie-doody.

'''BUBS:''' ''{cut to Bubs}'' Always a hit at parties...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{cut back to Strong Bad}'' Come on, Bubs! Don't you have anything more... ''executive''? A chair that will intimidate my underlings and eliminate my overlings!

''{Cut back to the wide shot of Strong Bad and Bubs.}''

'''BUBS:''' Ooh! Lucky for you! I just got this pre-owned—

''{The wall rises and falls, displaying the same box of chicken beaks seen earlier.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{interrupting}'' ''NOT'' a box of chicken beaks! ''{The conveyor belt immediately rises again.}''

'''BUBS:''' Oh. Then behold!

''{The conveyor belt falls again, revealing a large leather chair, which obscures Strong Bad as it rolls out. The chair glows and a chorus sounds briefly, and a golden "Le Restige" plaque appears.}''

'''BUBS:''' Le Restige!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{appears from behind the chair}'' Style ''and'' class! Oh, tell me that leather's Corinthian! Just ''tell'' me it's Corinthian!

'''BUBS:''' ''{cut to closeup of Bubs}'' Crabberdonk!

''{Cut to a closeup of Strong Bad, who is now sitting on the chair.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So what kind of options are we looking at on this baby?

'''BUBS:''' Ooh! You're gonna love this!

''{Bubs opens a compartment in the arm rest to reveal a red button and presses it, making a buzzing sound. A pair of metallic arms appear from behind Strong Bad and quickly slip a pair of gray sweatpants on him}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No way! A sweatpants button! And so begins my meteoric rise to the top of the corporate ladder... Now alls we gotta do is see how well it checks emails!

''{Cut back to the computer room, with Le Restige taking up nearly the entire screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Hey, hey, hey. It's e-mail.

''{opens an email which is almost completely obscured by the chair}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading email}'' Dear Strong Bad, how come you never take your mask off? ''{typing}'' Like I've said before, ''this'' is not a mask. It's my face. But hey, I'll give it a shot!

''{Strong Bad tugs on his mask until it comes off. He raises the mask above the chair and screams for a few seconds, then puts it back on again, making gurgling noises throughout.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh! I am NEVER gonna do that again! And, here's a picture of my parents. ''{holds up a photo; only the corner is visible above the chair.}''

''{Cut to a wide shot of the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And now time to unwind with a pair of executive sweatpants!

''{Strong Bad pushes the sweatpants button, making the buzzing sound again. The robotic arms go haywire and toss Strong Bad into the air. He falls down with several layered sweatpants on his legs and another pair on his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{groaning}'' Ooooh... so... many... sweatpants... I can't feel my parts...

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