::::Well, most of these are not cusses to most people, many are common everyday speech. AOnly a few, like the Commandoes, are really intentional uses of cussing for humor. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:07, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::Everyday speech or not, it's still cussing. And only [[Commandos in the Classroom|CitC]] and [[no loafing]] only mention about cussing, the rest have references to cussing. — [[User:Young Roy|Young Roy]] 23:16, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
::::::I agree with deletion. This just isn't an outstanding topic... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::::::I don't care for this page. Swears don't bother me, it's just that keeping track of specific words that characters say (''unless'' it's a running gag; which swearing isn't) just doesn't fly with me. I could be contradicting myself, though. Maybe there are some articles that I would like deleted given this reasoning. Or then again, maybe not. Totally don't want a list of characters who use superlatives... or prepositions... —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 23:58, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
::::::::I now think it's a worthy topic. TBC have stated that they don't put swearing on the site, ''except'' sometimes they do. This is notable. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:02, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

== If we're gonna keep this ==

And now we're gonna censor this? We have a page where we can't even discuss the subject matter? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:06, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
:Another point for deletion. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:07, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
::Agreed. If this page can't exist in an uncensored form on this wiki, then it doesn't belong at all. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:08, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
:::What's weird is that all the cuss words were censored except for "damn." Weird. — [[User:Young Roy|Young Roy]] 23:13, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
::::Roy, it had hope, but I hope you see it's flawed. We can't have a page with the f word and the a word, per our standards. And if they are censored properly it ruins this. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:16, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::Okay, "Maq," so we can't have a and f up there, but it's ruined if it's censored. Hmmmm... God, I don't want my page that I made the first draft of, one of my few major contributions, so I guess we'll just have to...sigh. I don't know. It's just hard to decide. I guess we have no choice to delete it, unless we bend the rules and leave a and f or ruin it and go ahead and censor it. [[User:Young Roy|Young Roy]] (In a hurry so no time thingy thing.)
::::::This page ''is'' kind of interesting, but I would only support an uncensored version. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:27, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::::Com's right. This is data, and if it's on Homestar Runner, we can use it. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 23:39, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
If we're gonna keep this, it should ''not'' be censored, but it should be limited to material found only on H*R.com (not the interviews (except for the relevant part in the introduction)). I have come to realize that this page has factual merit, given TBC's attitude expressed in the introduction. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:49, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

:::While I question the use of this article, I feel that censoring the profanities aren't needed. However, use of the word f*** was unneeded in the article. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 03:09, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

== Title ==

I'm not entirely sold on the utility of this page, but if we're going to have it could we at least give it a name that doesn't sound so juvenile ("Mom, Billy made a swear!")? My vote is for [[Profanity]]. Concerning the above discussion, I'm against censoring this page. The warning at the top is ample. <small>— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]]</small> 23:56, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
:The reason I moved it is because TBC in interviews have consistently used the word "swears" ("But when we get our sketch comedy show, dude, there’s going to be so many swears!"), and even in things like [[cheat talk]]. Plus, it's kinda funny. BTW, I think they only called it "cussing" in [[Commandos in the Classroom]] so they could make the "cuss-mando" joke. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:01, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
I still vote for keeping, uncensoring, and "Profanity". {{User:Salty/sig}} 00:03, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
:While I feel that this should be delorted, if we are going to keep this, I would rather that the title be Profanity instead of Swears. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 00:20, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
::Meh, "Profanity" sounds so formal and stuffy. "Swears" fits the mood better, methinks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:26, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
:::Yeah, you don't really hear teens today using Profanity. Actually, it's more of "cursing." We should make the title that. Cursing sounds better than swears and cussing, and ''way'' better than Profanity. — [[User:Young Roy|Young Roy]]
::::Do you have something against the TBC term? If not, then we should leave the title like it is. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 13:35, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
Definitely. I'm up for moving it to that. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 00:21, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
:Well yeah, but profanity sounds more encyclopedic. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 00:27, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
::But "swears" sounds more H*R. More examples: "Tomkins made a '''swear'''!", "Why I can even '''swear''' a cuss myself! A-hem. Diaper biscuits." — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:52, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
:::I see your point (and my bad for not noting the TBCism). Taking that into consideration, I'm fine with whatever everybody else decides. <small>— [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]]</small> 03:29, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
:I agree. The title of this article is really embarrassing. [[User:Qduk|Qduk]] 16:38, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

::::Couldn't we just begin the article with "'''Profanity''', or '''Swears'''... I think that would be good. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 12:34, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

:::::I think the current introduction (in which Matt says "swears" and is followed up with "swearing") is just fine. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:17, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
::::::Okay—I just think that the actual word should come before what TBC calls it. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 21:18, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

== What about the place? ==

Since words like "Hella, and Helluva" are considered swears, I added the one where old timey Strong Bad says "oh noes i've died and gone to hell".
:Not to be Correction [[Dan]], but it's actually, '''Curses'''! iv'e died and gone to hell!" — [[User:Young Roy|Young Roy]]
:Actually, it's not really considered a swear if used to refer to the place. I think. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::I agree, used in the right context it shouldn't be considered a swear, except in the case of their using the context as an ''excuse'' to swear. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 04:37, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
:::Dorian is right. The place is not a swear. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:38, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
::::Guess if we can't use the place, we might not be able to use [[Strong Sad|Strong Sad's]] curse in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]]: "...if you get it wrong, you get eternal damnation..." — [[User:Young Roy|Young Roy]]

== Crap ==

What is that doing on the list? I know crap is almost like "s---" but crap is not a curse word all that much.
:Actually, it is. It's what's known in linguistics as a permissible expletive (or something along those lines). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 13:44, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

== Possible swearing in flashback ==

:''[[flashback]]- After losing the ten-step footrace, The Homestar Runner responds by saying "WHAAAAT??!!?&,:;%${}". Random symbols usually mean censored swearing.''

Disagree. I know that things like %^#$^@# are used to censor swears, but it's not being used for that in this case.

Random symbols are used to censor words ''in'' the sentence. These symbols have been ''attatched'' to the ??!!?, with no space between them. This suggests that this is an exaggeration often used on the Internet of an overuse of exclamation points. I'm talking about things like !!!!!!!11111, !!!!!111!1!11one!!1, and !!!!!fortyfive!!11!1omgwtfbbq111. Using random characters after a long string of exclamation points and question marks is just a cousin to these.

Secondly, you don't see a hint of Homestar opening his mouth to utter curses in the animation. There's no audio censorship either. Where is the swearing coming from?

This is what I would consider acceptable to say that Homestar was swearing:
*&,:;%${} WHAT??!!?
*WHAT &,:;%${}??!!?
*WHAT??!!?  &,:;%${}!!
*WHAT??!!?  &,:;%${} (even though the final exclamation doesn't end in an exclamation point, I would accept it if there were a space in there.)

What we are considering is none of the above. Again, the random symbols are ''attached'' to the ??!!?. It makes no sense to put censored swears there. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:54, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

:This is also a two years old discussion. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:09, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

== Yearbook signing- rhts ==

In the [[Yearbook Character Page]] on the autograph signing part, strong bad says RHTS meaning "raise hell this summer" and since lmao is mentioned, does anyone else think this may have a place on the page?--{{User:Collin/sig}} 02:30, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

It could be raise ''heck'' this Summer.

It could also be ''rock hard'' this summer.

== To do ==

Organize the list in chronological order and by toon category (SBEmails separate from toons and games). {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 01:50, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

== sbemail: the bird ==

how about the sbemail "the bird" its all about giving the finger... which isnt really SAYING a swear. but it definatly is considered profanity and gets blurred out on TV. and it would go against TBC thing of keeping the site clean.
[[User:Del Taco?|Del Taco?]] 20:15, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
:Sounds good. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:48, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
::Hmmm, I'm not sure on this one. It's a bit of a gray area. The email itself is about giving the finger, but Strong Bad never specifically mentions "the middle finger," so he's not giving kids any instruction on how to "give somebody the finger," and none of the characters in said email actually did it properly: Strong Bad can't do it because of his boxing gloves (even if he says he can), Homestar can't do it properly given his lack of (or at least invisible) hands, and Pom Pom only has one "finger" (his entire hand)... there's really no objectionable content in the email at all, save for the reference to "the finger" or "the bird," and I don't think, taken alone, such a reference constitutes anything objectionable. ~ [[User:Bruce|Bruce]] 04:01, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

== Pervert? ==

Is this considered a swear? Or is it just a rude thing to say? It was said by The Baby Lady in Peasan't Quest if you ask her about Naked Ned. ''[[User:Maggot Man|<font color="Blue">Maggot Man</font>]] ''([[User talk:Maggot Man|<font color="Blue" size="1">talk</font>]]) 19:20, 3 June 2006 (UTC)''
:Yeah, pervert's not really a swear... Just an insult, I think. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Well, it's a bad word kind of like Prick. --{{User:the thing/sig}} 19:39, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
:::I would disagree with you, The thing. It's a word with a cache, but not a "bad" word in the same category as your other example, which in some contexts is a "bad" word, as it names an unmentionable piece of anatomy. "Pervert" merely describes a person with socially unacceptable sexual principles and behaviors. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:41, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
::::They say it on Naruto a whole buncha times.

== autobiography ==

*I've noticed that there isn't a mention of [[autobiography]] on this page. Strong Bad doesn't actually say a swear word on the "Words I Probably Said" tape, but it is implied, as Strong Bad does have to fast-forward. Is it worth adding that to this page? [[User:Frickinsellout|Frickinsellout]] 09:26, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

:Are you refering to the "the Deke accidentally shoved me to the ground and called me a—" part? If so, I don't think we could really guess what he called him. He might as well said "a crap for brains" which is already covered under [[Crap]]. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 10:57, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

== Do we really have to mention "butt"? ==

I hardly consider "butt" a swearword. I mean, 5-year-olds say "butt." I think we're only supporting the ridiculous existance of the [[Wikipedia:Euphemism_treadmill#The_.22euphemism_treadmill.22|euphemism treadmill]] here by mentioning a relatively non-offensive word in an article about swearwords. ~ [[User:Bruce|Bruce]] 03:55, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
:Where do we say "butt"? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Under See Also:. ''In addition to the above, the words "crap" and "butt" both appear frequently.'' ~ [[User:Bruce|Bruce]] 04:03, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
:::Ah... Personally, I don't see a need to mention either of those, but I'm okay with keeping "crap" on there, as it has a (pretty massive) page. "Butt", on the other hand, is so minor a word it doesn't even need to be mentioned. You'd have to be some kinda freak to be offended by "butt". (No offense to anyone who is. You're still weird, though.) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Dorian, thanks ''so'' much for calling my grandmother a freak. My grandmother happens to be a very nice old lady. (This is a joke, I'm not really ticked off. ;-) ) But just so you know, I've observed that it is a bit of a generation thing: the older people are more likely to be offended by "butt" (and likewise with "crap" and "freaking"). That's my two cents. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 09:15, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
:::::Not to mention that "butt" can be used in many different ways (the original meaning was "end"):
:::::*End/edge butt (something I learned in Tech Ed.)
:::::*Cigarrette butt
:::::*Rifle butt
:::::*Etc.
:::::Anyways, we shouldn't mention "butt". ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 12:52, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
::::::Even though it is considered a bona fide swear at my aunt and uncle's house, I don't think it belongs on this page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 13:20, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
:::::::Heh. My grandparents have no problem with "butt." In fact, I've heard my grandmother use said word on many occasions. I honestly can't see how anyone would consider "butt" a swearword. It's just a synonym for "rear end," after all. And of course, you have things like [[Wikipedia:Butt joint|butt joints]], etc. ~ [[User:Bruce|Bruce]] 01:50, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

== "Sucks"? ==

I'm not sure what others' thoughts are on this, but I generally consider "sucks" a vulgar word; I'm not offended by it, but I was surprised by its presence in a couple places on the site, probably on roughly the same level as "hella." Should it also be mentioned? {{unsigned|LuigiHann|20:40, 19 July 2006 (UTC)}}
:I wouldn't consider it vulgar enough to be listed here or considered a swear. {{User:Salty/sig}} 20:51, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
::Interestingly, the phrase used to be considered ''extremely'' vulgar, but over the years it has progressed on the [[Wikipedia:Dysphemism#The "dysphemism treadmill"|dysphemism treadmill]] to the point that it is acceptable even in mainstream contexts. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:46, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

==alternate universe==

Shouldn't we add the part where Strong bad says "flippin' off rainbows" from sbemail 150? (it's in the song) {{User:Cutepetsrus/sig}} 02:24, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

:Where's the swear? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:47, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

:::I suppose it falls into the "implied" category. Sigh... (you can guess I'm not fond of it, but it is acceptable for the page). {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:52, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

== Do you think it's better without Swearing except for Crap? ==

I do, because i sick of cartoons that ''aren't'' cartoons, if you get my meaning?
Well? [[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 02:14, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

:I don't think I get your meaning. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 07:13, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

well, what i'm trying to say is that cartoons are meant to be enjoyable for any age, not to filled with swearing,gore, etc. That's what i think.
[[User:Nikolce Kocovski|Nikolce Kocovski]] 23:02, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
:Well, I agree that a large part of the charm of H*R is that it's funny without resorting to typical devices other animated entertainments rely on for shock laughs, such as potty language and excessive violent imagery. That said, I don't necessarily feel that a cartoon (for example, South park) which does employ potty language and extreme violence in its humor is less good, just different. In other words, I see it less as an issue of quality an an issue of broadest audience. So it's not "better", but it's quite an accomplishment that the 12 year olds and the old geezers like me alike can enjoy this and not be subjected to imagery or dialogue which might be seen as inappropriate. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:07, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
::I think it's better because it's much easier to be "funny" with swearing. The fact that H*R can be at times, hillarious without vulgarity... to the extent of swearing or cursing... proves that TBC are very intelligent.--{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 23:09, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
:::But that logic would suggest that Trey Parker and Matt Stone are not as intelligent, when in fact it's pretty clear from their work they're geniuses (as are TBC). They use a different set of rules and tools than TBC, so it's different, but does it necessarily mean TBC are more intelligent than TP+MS? It's like comparing apples and chainsaws, their approaches differ too vastly to effectively compare. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:12, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

This talk page is about the upkeep of the wiki article. May I recommend our companion <span class="plainlinks">[http://forum.hrwiki.org/ forum]</span> for discussion of the subject itself. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:27, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
:While you are of course correct, I can also see an argument for exploring the utility of swears in animation as essential to the understanding of why both this page and its contents exist. Are the swears and swear-like items we document here to be seen as a deviation from the standards we've come to expect from TBC? Are they intentional references to the tradition in modern animation of employing naughty words for comic effect? Are they not references at all, but ''instances'' of the use of naughty words for comic effect? Yes, a generic discussion of whether SP or H*R is better because of the extent of the use of swearing is Forum fodder, but other points are, IMO, germane to the upkeep of this page. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:57, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
::I feel like I oughtn't, but since Qermaq opened the discussion loophole again briefly, I'll jump in. I hesitate at the first question there, Qermaq, which hints at the perennial has-H*R-jumped-the-shark questions that come up often and are almost always unanswerable and unnecessary. One interesting thing you hint at, though, is that the significance of this page is not the way they ''don't'' swear, but the way they represent, replace, or suggest swears. Which suggests questions of the history of doing so in other cartoon genres, like [[old comics|comic strips]]. Which gets back to Nik's starting supposition: although technically what defines a cartoon is that it's animated instead of filmed, you identify an assumption that they're intended for, or at least suitable [[for kids|for, kids]]. (And the previous two links could be taken as H*R weighing in with meta-commentary on its own role in these dynamics.) Which of course leads to the question of ''why'' we connect cartoons with kids—what about their origins, political cartoons, etc.—by which point it's ''definitely'' ready for the forum. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 00:15, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

==Space Program==

In [[space program]], Strong Bad says "we spent all our money on this ''kick awesome'' logo". This could be a reference to kick ass, but, it's another one of those that might not really be nessicary to include. {{User:Cutepetsrus/sig}} 00:50, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
:Sounds like a stretch to me. And besides, I've never heard "kick ass" used as an adjective. {{User:LongLiveCoachZ/sig}} 20:33, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
::I have heard it used, and i think it IS a ref. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:35, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
:::Well, I think it's not. And both of us would need more agreements before anything was placed in the article. And I have somehow managed to live my whole life and never hear someone use is as an adjective. I mean the usage, "Man, I kick ass at tennis!" is common, but I've never heard anything like, "Man, my tennis abilities are kick ass!" {{User:LongLiveCoachZ/sig}} 20:59, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
::::''[http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=kick+ass Kick-ass]'', used as an adjective, is [[Google:"a+kick-ass"|extremely common]]. I'm pretty sure that ''kick-awesome'' is indeed an allusion to ''kick-ass''. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:45, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
:::::I think it's clearly a take-off of "kick-ass", but only in the sense that phrases like "gosh darn it!", "flipping", and the like are taken from harsher words — they're mild derivatives chosen purposefully to be more socially acceptable.

==Fo' Shizzle?==

<blockquote>...Another one reads, "SB is the shizzle", which in this context means "Strong Bad is the shit".</blockquote>

I think that one's being read a bit too much into. We can't be sure of his context, he may have just thought "shizzle" is a funny word, and didn't realize it is sometimes attributed to profanity. In fact, Wikipedia gives the meaning of shizzle as "...rap slang word for 'sure'", which is also the general meaning that I have understood in the past. Though the context of "Strong Bad is the sure" admittedly does not make sense, it seems to me that this comment is simply an abstract comment of "Strong Bad is the shizzle" without the "meaning" of shizzle being obviously clear, if there in fact is one.

:See [http://izzle.urbanup.com/625718 izzle.urbanup.com/625718]. "Fo' shizzle" means "for sure", but any other use of "shizzle" means "shit".

::It's listed as vulgar slang in most dictionaries. I don't know whether that actually answers your question.

:::According to m-w.com, a swearword is vulgar or profane. Vulgarity is essentially lower-class speech (which is relative to your class); profanity is language that insults one's belief of what's right and wrong in the world (which is relative to your beliefs). BTW, "pissed off" is condidered "sometimes vulgar" by m-w. Of course, dictionaries merely chronicle usage, and as such should not be seen as prescriptive, so multiple sources should be consulted.

Thing is, what's a swear to me might not be a swear to another person, it's a bit relative.

Now, MAYBE they'll see this on the talk page. Or MAYBE we'll have to go through another discussion on the talk page. OR!

== Just a comment on the warning ==

I think we need to switch back to the more official, less Homestar related warning. Yes, it's more boring, and yes, we ARE the Homestar Runner Wiki and it makes sense to have Homestar Runner themed templates, but this one seems more like an appearance or a joke than an official warning. Therefore, we'll probably get people (read: kids) reading it who aren't supposed to/don't want to. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 21:42, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Thoughts? {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 18:12, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

:The MAJOR problem: When I first saw that green box, I wasn't really aware it was a warning until I had read it properly. It's not effective. Yes, it's funny but that's not the point; it's supposed to warn the reader of the strong language. I propose we cut the wishy-washy and change to a more direct and straightforward warning. You could use one of those exclamation marks, like the one at the top of this page. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 18:13, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Imagine for a moment that the article had no warning at all at the top. Would that really be a problem? The article title, interview snippet, introduction, and first couple of examples should be enough to clue someone in on what they're in for. The article itself is treated encyclopedically; it's not like it's a long interview or toon with sudden strong language—the whole thing is a list of swearing within H*R. A cursory warning is all that is needed at most, and one adapted from Cheat Commandos is in the spirit of a wiki about Homestar Runner. In other words, there is no problem here, and we don't need to fix something that's not broken out of some vague sense that someone, somewhere will someday be offended because they don't read the whole page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:23, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
:I don't know about you, but when I was a kid, I used to think "swears" just meant "Do you swear you'd do blah blah blah?" "I swear!". Now, a lot of visitors/users here are kids. And, even if a kid DID know it was about cursing, they still might have not stopped with that green joke warning. For example, they might be used to the swears the use on homestarrunner.com, which are just things like crap or the occasional freakin'. They also use acronyms and other ways to hide the words. But WE explain WHAT the words are. On Homestar, it's "shizzle". Here, it's "shit" (yes, I'm saying it but it's for the sake of discussion). Plus, we even say:

<blockquote>Peasant's Quest — Typing "What the fuck" yields the response, "Come now. Don't get discouraged."</blockquote>

:Not homestarrunner.com, US. And, I know it sounds crazy, I'd also be a little worried about liability (crazy parents and the like). It's better we include a serious, easily-seen warning with content that may make people uncomfortable than a green box that looks more like an appearance of swearing than a warning. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 20:38, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

:Re "Imagine for a moment that the article had no warning at all at the top. Would that really be a problem?": Yes, I really think it would. Seems we disagree on that point, which is fine, but I really don't personally want to assume that since no one has complained so far that it will never happen. Some parent of a 12-year-old kid sees this page with either no warning or a poorly-identifiable one, and we have the potential for an uproar, affecting not just the wiki, but TBC as well. They enjoy a reputation for being kid-safe, and it's just that sort of overblown drama that one parent starts that'll tear down that house of cards. Having worked in public schools and having talked to hundreds of parents, I assure you they are out there.
:Now, will a warning ever prevent a kid from reading the content? Of course not, but the point is we can say "hey, we had a clear and unmistakeable warning on the page". We tried to keep a person from being shocked to see naughty language on this otherwise squeaky-clean wiki. It's my view that the current "warning" does not try to do anything but be funny, literally making light of the concerns many parents have with the content they want their child to be able to avoid.
:Dot com, one thing I know we agree on is we as editors have a responsibility toward stewardship of this wiki and the creators of the work we document. We need to make our decisions based, first and primarily, on what's right for TBC and HRWiki. In light of that, I'm a little perplexed you don't see the importance in this. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:09, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
::Bluebry: "Fuck" does not do anything in Peasant's Quest, but "what the fuck" does.

If they didn't want us to note it (knowing that we note ''everything''), they shouldn't include it.
::Qermaq: On the contrary, I see great importance in those things. I simply think it would be very difficult not to realize what this page is actually about.

As Dot com said, TBC were technically using the words "what the fuck" in Peasant's Quest. And technically, that means it's used on the site. And under the policy we have now, we're not allowed to use words not used on homestarrunner.com. However, the phrase would TECHNICALLY be allowed because it's used on homestarrunner.com. Now, this might sound very stupid, but, TBC have also used plenty of other swears. Therefore, I think we need a more detailed censoring policy. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 22:44, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::::::Given that we've gotten this far without such a policy, and given that we don't currently have any concerns regarding toons or the like in front of us, I see no need to create a policy just because we don't have anything else to do right now. No one is seriously suggesting that because TBC made that phrase be part of the game, then we should suddenly allow it outside of this page. I think we should just continue to use good common sense as we have to this point. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:48, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
::::::::::I'd like to mention to those that think TBC's use of the phrase "what the fuck" in the game would imply that they are "condoning" cuss words in their toons (and via our rule of thumb perhaps in our wiki) is an incorrect assumption. TBC have always been careful in what language they explicitly include in their toons. However their inclusion of the phrase ''WTF'' is a very subtly hidden one, one I don't believe is meant to be found by any means (even though we've had evidence of the contrary in other toons). There are only three ways to find this "egg": 1. type it yourself 2. read it on the wiki (once you get past the censorship warnings) or 3. decompile the program and examine the code in detail. All but the third one (maybe even that one) imply a mature audience that knows what they're typing or trying to type. This is in no way some hidden concession allowing cuss words explicitly in their work. I just wanted to get that out of my chest. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:00, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

== CANNOT be validated ==
I discovered that, on the page, the following code is present in the green alert box:
<blockquote><br><nowiki>
<div style="margin: 0 auto; background:#0C0; color:#FFF; padding:1em; width:500px; border:none; font-weight:bold; text-align:center; font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:125%;line-height:160%;">THE FOLLOWING <span style="font-size:140%;">ARTICLE</span> HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR<br />

<p><span style="font-size:140%;"><i>CERTAIN</i> AUDIENCES</span>
<br />BY SOME PEOPLE WHO KNOW WHAT'S BEST</span>
<br />
IT BE RATED
</p>
</nowiki></blockquote>
Now, if you can sort through this, anyone with knowledge of HTML can see that something is wrong: a block level tag, <p>, is inside another block level tag, <div>. This is not something I can simply overwrite; WikiMedia's code automatically installs a paragraph element. I have discovered no way to remove it. If it is truly irremovable, the only valid solution is to make an image of the warning label and upload it. If, however, someone else knows how to rectify this, please do so. I'd appreciate it greatly.{{User:Ten Ten/sig}} 01:02, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
:Well, I got it to validate, though the code is certainly sloppy. However, I don't know how else to fix it, so it'll have to do.{{User:Ten Ten/sig}} 01:27, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
::<nowiki><p></nowiki> within <nowiki><div></nowiki> should not be a problem, that's done all the time. Let me look at it. UPDATE - well, now that it validates there's nothing to see. But the nested paragraph was not the issue, I'm sure. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 13:13, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

== Freakin ==

Seeing as how "freakin" is widely used on the website, TBC must not consider it swearing any worse than [[crap]]. --[[User:Jnelson09|Jnelson09]] 23:32, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
:Yes, I agree. It's listed in one place as an example of Homestar's "foul mouth", but I believe TBC were being their good ol' tongue-in-cheek selves when they labeled that part of the particular toon. (That is, it's listed on the page because they're talking about his foul mouth, not for the words that he actually says.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:15, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

::Yeah, I agree. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 02:16, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

== Thing in a bag ==

Bubs and homestar say "friggin' awesome" in lookin' at a thing in a bag

== Is "frig" a swear? ==

I was looking over this page, and I found the following two entries:
<blockquote>
*In '''[[Strong Sad's Lament]]''' one of his emotions is "the frig?", as in "what the frig?".
*Email '''[[hygiene]]''' — Gene's refrigerator's brand name is "Fridgin' A" - a euphemism of the phrase "Frigging A".
</blockquote>
I don't think either one should be on this page, since "frig" is hardly a swear. Yes, it's a very mild substitute for "fuck", but if we note mild euphemisms like this, why shouldn't we note every appearance of or reference to "darn", etc.? It's just not notable, in my opinion. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 22:09, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
:Yeah, I agree. If 'darn' isn't listed, neither should 'frig' (or any variant thereof) be. {{User:LongLiveCoachZ/sig}} 20:03, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

== Hell ==

Erm... I never considered "Hell" to be a swear... but it clearly states, "Bubs makes a helluva snowcone." Um... [[user:haldo]]
:Where hell is not used to refer to the place of fire and brimstone, it is often considered swearing. Thus, the line you've mentioned can be considered a swear, but Old-Timey SB's "I've gone to hell" should not be considered one. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:19, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

== SBCG4AP ==

Kicking The Cheat into the dryer, then talking to him will result in a long string of The Cheat noises, to which Strong Bad replies, "Do you kiss [[Fan Costumes '06|your hot mom]] with that mouth?!"
:While I don't think that could specifically mean a swear, the Nuisance Trophy is in the shape of a cartoon swear. Additionally, at one point, when talking to (and annoying) Homestar, he will spout gibberish that the subtitles will render as cartoon swears. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:06, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
::the correct link would be to [[hot moms]]... {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:07, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
:Although it could just refer to really ugly speech (but not profanity), I think it's reasonable to go ahead and include it on the page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:38, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
:::I always thought SB's "AK" was his ass kicker. [[Special:Contributions/68.73.102.185|68.73.102.185]] 23:08, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

== The House that Gave Sucky Treats ==

I can't believe they forgot the most obvious swear appearance. At the end of THTGST, Strong Sad talks about an emo house yadda yadda yadda, and says d**nation. Why hasn't anyone put this up? I would put it up, but I'm not sure how to word it...

"When the characters are talking at the end, Strong Sad mentions a house of 'd**nation'"? I'm not sure... --[[User:Pretztailfan95|Pretztailfan95]] 04:58, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
:Damnation, in that context, is not a swear. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:02, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
::Oh. I consider it a swear. ^_^;; Heh, I guess it's not the same for everyone else lol. --[[User:Pretztailfan95|Pretztailfan95]] 05:08, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
:::You misunderstand. it's about context. If i say "go to hell", that's a swear. If i say "Hell is a place where dead people go" it's not. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 05:14, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
::::You mean I misunderstood? --[[User:Pretztailfan95|Pretztailfan95]] 15:13, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
:::::That's what i just said. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:11, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

== strong swear lament ==

When he posted about so good about tuesdays he said thank god it's tuesday [[User:TwO 2 bReAdS iN a BiScUt]]
:Um, what? {{User:HRjcm/sig}} 15:49, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
::Please explain to us all why the phrase, "Thank God It's Tuesday at Three-Oh-Two" would be considered an instance swearing. It's not even blasphemy. Are we going to start stoning anyone who says the word "Jehovah" now? {{User:The Chort/sig}} 17:17, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
:::Also, I've seen at least [[hygiene|one other instance]] that has been used. {{User:HRjcm/sig}} 02:00, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

== Crudfully ==

Is it notable that SB makes a big deal of the latest emailer using crud as a substitute for crap, even though crap is a relatively mild word? -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.138.174|132.183.138.174]] 08:11, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

== Delete? Again? ==

I really dont see the purpose of this page. Plus it kinda violates policy right? Yes this has happened before. {{User:Espemon333/sig}} 23:20, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

::The purpose of this page is obvious. The policy violation is an exception. The opinion is '''keep'''. The Homestar Runner is a terrific athlete. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:23, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

==Another thing==
I thought Homestar Runner was supposed to be for all ages. - Black Homestar
:It is for all ages. Most of the items on this page are allusion to swears, not the real thing themselves. {{User:Elcool/sig}} 05:01, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
::I think it's a common misconception that it's for all ages. The humor seems geared more toward college kids, especially the earlier Strong Bad stuff. For whatever reason TBC just keep it mostly—but not completely—clean. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]]
:::I think it comes down to what you mean by "for all ages". It's not '''geared''' for all ages; it's mainly targetted at the young adult demographic. It is, however, '''appropriate''' for pretty much all ages, which is what we're generally getting at when we discuss swears. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 08:53, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
::::I'm surprised they got away with that stuff.
:::::They put those swears in the toons as "subliminal messages". If they said it's for all ages, there was no need of them to put swears in cartoons. [[User:Black Homestar|Black Homestar]] 22:10, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Sbemail 100 Fakeout

Black Homestar — Tue, 11 May 2010 06:17:20 GMT

Black Homestar: /* 404 Frames, should it be trivia? */

== Fake notice ==

Does Homestar actually slap on the fake notice? I'd say no, as he still seems to be in a trance thinking about Strong Bad's 'paradox'; though it's possible as, of course, we can't see his arms. Whatever. I'm removing that bit for now. --[[User:195.92.67.209|195.92.67.209]] 16:00, 13 Dec 2004 (MST)

Yeah, I don't think Homestar slapped it on. I mean, he didn't slap it on in [[The System is Down]] either, so I doubt he did so here. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]

Hey guys, I know this is minor, but both Mar. 15 and Mar. 16 are set as the dates when this e-mail debuted. Which is it? [[User:70.187.228.170|70.187.228.170]] 19:26, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
:The body of the article says 2:20 am EST Mar. 16. I believe our policy is to count release dates by EST, since that's where TBC are; therefore 16 should be right. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 19:36, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

== Link broke? ==

So, yeah.

The link to sbemail100.html just takes you to sbemailahundred.html

It doesn't take you to the error page anymore, just to the actual hundredth email.

Just pointing it out.

Maybe someone should...do...something.

Flash file still works, though.

:Hmm... it still works for me. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 08:15, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
::Yep, it's fine here too. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 08:20, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
:::Actually, it DOES take you to the fake one, but it immediately redirects you to the real email. The flash file is, however, still present and also loads, as previously noted. --PayphoneEd, not logged in
::::It's working fine for me as well. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:48, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

== Conjectural title? ==

As "Not the 100th Email!!!" is the page title for this toon, I don't really think this is a conjectural title. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 09:36, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

well,i would move it,but there is a problem:there is nothing else to refer it to.
--[[User:Mariofan1000|Mariofan1000]] 16:52, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

== 404 Frames, should it be trivia? ==

Shouldn't this fun fact be put under trivia? I don't really see how it's supposed to be a remark.

==What Strong Bad said==
Did Strong Bad say; "Oh, you think you're pretty clever, huh?" come before or after the email [[the movies]]?

There needs to be a better word for "weird".

== A Less-than-Serious Jones ==

Something I've been wondering for a while... It keeps coming to me. It's probably fairly unlikely (TTATOT comes to mind), but could "Interruptor Jones" be a reference to [[Wikipedia:List of Sesame Street characters#F|Forgetful Jones]]? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Fhqwhgads? ==

After Strong Sad says the line about the British guy, I swear Strong Bad mumbles fhqwhgads. [[User:AK47x2|AK47x2]] 17:29, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Nah. It sounds like Strong Bad mumbles "garble dish". It doesn't sound ANYTHING like fhqwhgads.

Yeah. It sounds a lot like "garble dish". -Cool Tapes.exe

==Brown Egg==
Do you think its worth noting that the brown egg is likly to be this one type of chicken egg?--[[User:Inferno mainiac|Inferno mainiac]] 22:37, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

== Two Mumbles? ==

I swear, it sounded like SB mumbled "Pilotwings" in the line just before he mumbles "Super Bomberman". Anyone else hear it?
--[[User:168.122.185.181|168.122.185.181]] 01:01, 25 March 2008 (UTC) Zero.exe

==My opinion about the eggs==
Instead of Strong Bad saying "That is my egg, now put it down."; he should've told [[Strong Sad]] to put the eggs back where he got them from. - Black Homestar, 16 Feburary 2010 (UTC)

Doug the Dino

Black Homestar — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 23:26:05 GMT

Black Homestar: /* Watch Here */

[[Image:dougthedino.PNG|thumb|200px|"DINOSAUR!"]]

'''[[Douglas|Doug]] the [[Dinosaurs|Dino]]''' is a short [[stop motion]] film created by [[Strong Mad]]. [[Strong Bad]] criticizes this film for displaying misguided direction, a lack of comedic timing, and being riddled with gaping plot holes. It seems as though major plot points include Doug mauling a green cylinder, and Doug getting flushed down a [[toilet]]. It is also one of the times that [[blood]] is featured on the website. The script is as follows:
<blockquote>int: dinosaur - day<br>
go dougie!!<br>
RAWR!!<br>
toilet. (drawing of a toilet)</blockquote>

[[Strong Sad]] later wrote up a full treatment for Doug the Dino, which Strong Mad didn't seem to be interested in.

Black Homestar:

''"I'm the only girl."'' ~ Marzipan

{{charnav|Marzipan|marzy|Pom Pom|Coach Z}}
[[Image:NewestMarzipan.png|thumb|"I'm the only girl."]]

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

== Biography ==
'''Marzipan''' is [[The Only Girl|the only female character]] among the [[Characters#Main Characters|primary residents]] of the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. She is tall and thin, with her elongated head a pinkish color. Her eyes consist of two black circles of [[Mismatched Eyes|two different sizes]]. Her mouth is usually seen in a slight curve. She wears her hair in a bright yellow ponytail, (although in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 12.2]], she claims that blonde is not her true hair color, suggesting that she [[Wikipedia: Hair coloring|dyes]] it), and is almost always seen wearing a purple dress embellished with white trim and gold buttons, along with a matching hair band. Like [[Homestar Runner]], she does not appear to have [[Lack of Visible Arms|visible arms]]. Nevertheless, she is still able to pick up and handle objects without any hint of difficulty; for example, she can play the guitar fairly well. She is voiced by [[Missy Palmer]] and is one of the few characters not voiced by [[Matt Chapman]].

[[Image:Marzipan 3D variation.PNG|thumb|"Is that 3D eco-frendly?"]]
Marzipan is Homestar's [[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship|girlfriend]] (humorously, Missy Palmer acting as Marzipan disclosed in the DVD commentary for [[date]] that Homestar is only her boyfriend while acting, and has "several other boyfriends" off stage). Early on in the site's history, this seemed to be the primary reason for her existence. Her character has developed greatly over time, however, and their dating no longer appears to be their main connection. Marzipan has actually broken up with Homestar on several occasions, and gone out with [[The Cheat]] and [[Bubs]] in [[Date Nite]], some of which were due to the fact that she wished to demonstrate her independence. Other such times involve Homestar's unintentional mean streak; he has even been known to show feelings of contempt and resentment toward his girlfriend, as seen in the email [[narrator]] (where he calls her "some type of enormous alien cow") and [[Happy Fireworks]] (where he uses a [[Cardboard Marzipan|cardboard cutout]] to imitate her and then tells "her" to shut up). Luckily for Homestar, she continues to love him dearly, and the two always seem to end up together again.

Marzipan's status as the only girl in [[Free Country, USA]] has made her the target of quite a few prank messages on her [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|answering machine]] (most of them left by Strong Bad), as well as the unsolicited romantic attentions of several other characters (most notably [[Coach Z]] and [[Bubs]]). Despite all this, she is very kind and is friends with almost everyone (though she is not fond of [[The King of Town]], and she really doesn't like Strong Bad at all{{ref|1}}), such as when she helped [[Strong Sad]] make baklava while [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|Strong Bad was in jail]]. With Marzipan being the only girl as well as Homestar's [[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship|on-again, off-again girlfriend]], Strong Bad tends to [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 6.0|assert his autonomous romantic life]] to her [[senior prom|(as well as to other characters)]] to assuage his ego. It's possible that Strong Bad has an unrequited crush on Marzipan expressed through his immature antics, although he has indicated [[date nite|his disgust for her]] in the past.

[[Image:Marzysign.png|thumb|left|"I'm off to the Chinchilla protest."]]
[[Strong Bad]] once described Marzipan as a "dirty hippie without the dirt"{{ref|2}}. She is a strict vegetarian — she especially enjoys [[tofu]] and other soy products (though in the email [[coloring]] she teaches that "soy is also murder") — and she spends much of her time singing and playing her guitar. Most of her songs are about happiness and nature. She often makes [[Marzipan's Protest Signs|protest signs]] to express her views on issues of varying and personal interest.

[[Image:Marzycouchslouch.png|thumb|Marzipan relaxes]]
Marzipan has been mistaken for a baseball bat, a bell, and a broom. A rip in her "Joey Ramone" costume in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] seems to suggest that her body may actually be shaped like a bell, a fact which is supported by her costume in [[Doomy Tales of the Macabre]]. By contrast, many emails, such as [[secret recipes]], [[date]], [[secret identity]] and [[keep cool]], show her sitting in a manner that seems to contradict that possibility. In the email [[big white face]], Strong Bad mentions that her head is like a baseball bat. In the email [[long pants]], she claims that she is not a broom, much to Homestar's surprise. In [[highschool]], she is shown to have long, skinny legs like [[Wikipedia: Daphne Blake|Daphne]] from [[Wikipedia: Scooby-Doo|Scooby-Doo]], but due to the fact that Strong Bad has an "unphotographic memory" (or "doodle memory"), this may or may not be true. Though she is often mistaken for such distinctly shaped objects, Strong Bad refers to Marzipan as "[[Wikipedia:Human|human]]" in [[retirement]].

Marzipan has a tendency to anthropomorphize inanimate objects — for example, she talks to her guitar, [[Carol]], asks [[Strong Sad]] to help resurrect her ficus plant, [[Credenza]], from the dead in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], and once names an ordinary sandwich "[[Homestar Jr.]]", proceeding to treat it as though it were a small child. In addition, she has occasionally been fooled by poor imitations of Homestar, such as [[Tofu Homestar]] from [[The Luau]] and [[The Cheat]]'s costume from the email [[do over#Easter Eggs|do over]]. Also, in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], she created a potion that could transform Homestar into several different entities, including a strange clone of herself. Upon such instances, Marzipan tends to show more affection to (and quite possible ''receives'' more positive attention ''from'') these pseudo-Homestars than she does her real boyfriend. It is unclear if this reflects a desire to change or replace her current beloved, although she believes her relationship with Homestar has always been open{{ref|3}}.

Marzipan sometimes works with other characters on various projects. For example, The Cheat made a Flash video for her song "[[Oh yeah yeah]]". She has also teamed up with both The Cheat and [[Strong Mad]] to form a band called [[Cool Tapes]], in which she sings lead and plays Carol. She has appeared in the ''[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]'' series of short films as [[Cutesy Buttons]], and once attempted to teach Strong Bad how to make an [[lady_fan|attractive centerpiece]] out of junk mail and kitty litter. She has also hosted a [[Fall Float Parade]] with Coach Z and taught a cult-like "[[School|kindergarten]]" class with Homestar, Strong Mad, and [[Homsar]]. In [[DNA Evidence]], it is said that she is allergic to pecans. She also takes a Toga-Yoga class, which is led by Bubs.

== Fun Facts ==
[[Image:grinning marzipan.png|thumb|Yes, she does have teeth.]]
*The [[Old Characters Page]], now in the [[museum]], said The King of Town was Marzipan's father. However, it is the only such reference on the site, and [[The Brothers Chaps]] have since reported in interviews (such as [[Club Aquatica Interview - 29 Oct 2003|the Club Aquatica interview]]) that this was an idea they had early in the site's development but have since abandoned.
**In the [[Wonkavision Magazine Interview]], this [[Inconsistencies Within the Homestar Runner Universe|inconsistency]] was explained as a [[wikipedia:Retcon|retcon]]. When asked about the "rumors" of Marzipan being the King of Town's daughter, Marzipan herself replied that, "Those allegations are completely false. The King was trying to make himself look better by association. That poor man. That poor fat, filthy man."
*[[Wikipedia:Marzipan|Marzipan]] is also a confectionery consisting primarily of ground almonds and sugar that derives its characteristic flavor from bitter almonds.
*In an interview with Wired magazine, Missy Palmer said that Marzipan started out as a hippie, but over time her personality has changed to match Missy's own.
*The character page title is a reference to Marzipan's song "Oh yeah yeah" from the email [[marzipan]].
*According to Strong Bad, Marzipan is allergic to pecans.
*Marzipan has a cousin named Debra whom Strong Bad said he considered hot in [[Happy Dethemberween]].
*As revealed in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 15.2]], she has apparently had "questionable" surgery to have her nose removed.
*In [[A Death-Defying Decemberween]], Homestar refers to Marzipan's mother as "Mrs. Marzipan", and implies that she is frequently divorced. Marzipan says her latest stepfather is named Seth and works in a "philosophy department", presumably at a university.
*Marzipan's only known visible body part is her head, and [[Kick-A-Ball]] reveals that none of her limbs are visible.
*Strong Bad says that Marzipan has a "considerable resistance to death" in [[origins]] after being super-glued to Homsar and left for dead.

Strong Mad

Black Homestar — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 23:22:00 GMT

Black Homestar:

''"DINOSAUR!"'' ~ Strong Mad

{{charnav|Strong Mad|sm|The Cheat|Strong Sad}}
[[Image:neweststrongmad.png|thumb|right|HE'S STRONG MAD!]]

==Biography==
A monolith of muscle and hostility, '''Strong Mad''' is, as his name implies, strong and usually mad. His brothers are [[Strong Bad]] and [[Strong Sad]], and he is the oldest of the three. He and [[The Cheat]] are "The next bosom buddies" according to a [[TV Time Toons Menu|TV TIME]] cover, and though he often tries to help Strong Bad with his evil plans, he usually only messes up. He communicates mostly in simple sentences shouted in an uninflected roar. Occasionally, Strong Mad will make pointed observations or reasonable suggestions in his typical voice, such as [[Where U Goin' 2?|"THAT'S REDUNDANT!"]] or [[Ever And More!|"I CAN LET OUT THE WAIST A LITTLE BIT FOR YOU!"]] He seems to be a wrestler (or perhaps was one in the past), since he wears a blue spandex singlet with an "M" on it.

He's a big lug, but with a big heart: though one wouldn't know it to look at him, Strong Mad has a soft side. In [[Where's The Cheat?]], he cries over an autographed picture of The Cheat, given to him by the little yellow guy. He also is proud to be The Cheat's friend, and is not afraid to [[Strong Badia the Free|hug The Cheat]] [[TV Time Toons Menu|in public]]. He finds it necessary to say he is [[The Cheat and Strong Mad's Relationship|The Cheat's best friend]]. He is [[little animal|very defensive]] to his buddy; even when [[do over|it is an obvious impostor]] he will not risk The Cheat being hurt, and on [[Strong Badia the Free|one occasion]] refused to fight him even when they were on opposing sides of a war.

[[Image:SM_has_a_Posse.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Strong Mad IS a posse]]
He is also very childish and naïve, and even though he is the oldest he is loved by his brothers. Strong Bad claims to cherish brother [[Graw Mad]], his name of endearment for his brother. Strong Sad seems to be on good terms with him whenever Strong Bad is not involved, and he shows friendship to [[Homestar Runner]], [[Marzipan]] and even, to an extent, [[Pom Pom]].

Strong Mad apparently enjoys sports. He dressed as [[Kobe|Kobe #2]] in [[A Decemberween Pageant]], he has dressed as a professional sports player three times in Halloween episodes ([[Wikipedia:William Perry (football)|Refrigerator Perry]], [[Wikipedia:Ben Wallace|Ben Wallace]], [[Wikipedia:Nikolai Volkoff|Nikolai Volkoff]]), he wore a baseball cap with the [[Wikipedia:Detroit Tigers|Detroit Tigers']] logo on it as [[Wikipedia:Magnum, P.I.|Magnum, P.I.]], he is the sports reporter for [[local news|Strong Badia Action Cool News 5]], he has a statue of a football player in [[Strong Mad's Room|his room]], and he wore a football helmet in [[Ever and More!]].
[[Image:StrongMad 3D variation.PNG|thumb|"That's three weeks old!!"]]
Strong Mad's creative drive has produced two works of [[dinosaur]]-themed art (an [[lunch special|MS Paint drawing of a "fairly hot brontosaurus"]] and the claymation short [[Doug the Dino]]). At Strong Bad's behest, he has also carved the word "[[dragon|DAGRON]]" in a table and produced a portrait of Strong Bad in glitter and macaroni. (Other macaroni-related art produced by Strong Mad includes a macaroni nailed to a paper towel tube, as seen in [[record book]].) Despite these achievements, Strong Bad has devoted [[the facts|an entire email]] to explaining why Strong Mad can't produce his own cartoon show. His musical talent is evident, however: he plays what looks like a black Hofner Violin bass guitar in [[guitar]], [[Cool Things]], and [[Weclome Back]], and the drums in [[highschool]], plus he's a natural [[death metal]] singer. Additionally, Strong Mad surprised Strong Bad in [[nightlife]] by cracking a joke, which Strong Bad admitted to be "pretty good!". He also has shown [[Strong Badia the Free|skills]] in [[Arcade Game|doing taxes]].

Strong Mad is, oddly, the only main character to have five-fingered hands and a visible nose. He seems more than willing to [[Eating Non-Food Items|eat otherwise inedible objects]] such as rocks, chain-whips, and printed e-mails. He does not, however, [[haircut|want to eat a guitar]]. Strong Bad implied he was surprised he hasn't eaten The Cheat by now. When Strong Mad inhales [[helium]], his voice stays the same, but when he sucks up [[isp|bandwidth]] through a [[garden hose]], his mouth gets tiny and his voice turns high-pitched. Strong Mad has a [[Horrible Painting]] in his closet that gives everyone (especially Strong Bad) the [[jibblies]]. He apparently needs reading glasses.

Strong Mad seems to want a pet, as he (as Marzipan put it) "absconded with" [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] during the [[Fall Float Parade]] and tried to convince Strong Bad to let him keep it, saying that it followed him home.

==Physical Statistics==

[[Image:Sbemail141.PNG|thumb|right|300px|"He's like a big square, this guy."]]

[[Image:SMSmiling.png|thumb|right|"MANNONBALL!"]]
Apparently, Strong Mad's height and weight are not definite, and the specifics can change from cartoon to cartoon. As stated on the [[Wikipedia:André the Giant Has a Posse|OBEY]] style [[HR:smsticker.html|stickers]], Strong Mad is 8 feet, 3 inches tall, and weighs 900 pounds. According to Strong Bad in [[the facts]], he is 88 inches (7 feet 4 inches) tall and 88 inches wide. As described by The Cheat in [[i she be]], he is only 6 feet tall. In [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], it is stated that Strong Mad and Strong Bad have a combined weight of one million pounds. Apparently, Strong Mad is simply a big guy, and specific measurements are given only when needed for a joke or to convey a meaning.

As seen in several toons (including [[fingers]], [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]], [[death metal]], and [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]]), Strong Mad's shoulders are squared-off, almost cubic, though his [[Store Toys#Collectible Figurines|figurine]] is rounder with a football-shaped top. When necessary, he is able to contract his frame into a spherical shape, as he did when performing a cannonball dive in [[keep cool]]. Strong Mad lacks a neck; there is no clear distinction between his head and his body.

''{The "dear strong bad" echoes, causing Strong Bad to look around a bit. Strong Bad pronounces "jamie ericson" as "hom-ee-ay eric-SON".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' That's so funny that you should say that Jamie ''{says as an unintelligible mumble}'', because I was just thinking how bored I am with your butt, and your face, and your snotty nose.

''{"nose" echoes, and Strong Bad looks around some more. Strong Bad clears the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I guess the No Loafing sign could take a cue from the fast-food, soft drink, and bad sports team industries and combat sluggish sales and decades of losing with a slick logo redesign.

''{The screen cuts back and then zooms to the No Loafing sign. The blue wall vanishes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rapping to a beat}'' First you squish it, skew it, and turn it all around. Squish it, skew it, turn it all around.

''{As he says this, the border disappears and the words are squished, skewed, and turned around. At the end, the words are at a slant.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then we need to make it fast and slick and shiny like Flo Jo in a tuxedo.

''{The words curve, the tops of the letters become spikes pointing to the left, and they become all shiny.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rapping again}'' Uh! Flo Jo with da tux-''eee''-do!

''{The words react to the beat of his rap, various decorations litter the screen, and a no symbol appears behind the words.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now it's time to play Color Wheel Roulette. No Whammies, no Whammies!

''{The colors of the sign cycle through various schemes, finally ending up on the words being a dull yellow and the circle in the background turning a greenish tan, with the blank space in the middle turning brown.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{audience groans}'' Awww... Ouch, man. Now, just when you think you're done, you gotta dip it in molten Plexiglas ''{the entire sign becomes glossy}'' to give it that "children under three are sure to choke on it" goodness.

''{With a "ding", sparkles appear on the logo.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, wait. Almost forgot the fangs.

''{With a roar, [[Blood|bloody]] fangs sprout from the logo.}''

''{Cut to The Cheat and Strong Bad, with a new-style iMac in front of The Cheat. The logo Strong Bad described is on the monitor.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I don't know how we're gonna print it out, seeing as how somebody sliced off the back of your monitor. And quit rubbing that plastic bar of soap ''{indicating The Cheat's cordless mouse}'' on the desk. You clearly don't have what it takes ''{rubs The Cheat's head}'' to bring NO LOAFING into the digital age.

''{The Cheat closes the window, and Strong Bad turns toward the viewer, smiling.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But I does!

''{Cut back to the No Loafing sign.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Fresh from elementary school cafetoriums and lotto machines...

''{The No Loafing sign transforms into a cafeteria-style LED display.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...comes one of those actually pretty hard-to-read message board signs.

''{"NO LOAFING" scrolls past, followed by a crawling worm.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Capable of advanced animation, scroll-a botones...

''{The words "GRUEL IS COOL!" come in, with the individual pixels coming from opposite sides before meeting.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...and twelve levels of blinkiness.

''{"NO LOAFING" returns and the letters blink. Then the screen blinks and fireworks appear on the display.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now we can celebrate the lack of loafing with some fireworks! And a man doing cartwheels!

''{The fireworks disappear and a man doing cartwheels moves across the display. Cut to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No mortal would ''dare'' loaf under the four-colored dotted digital stare of this bad boy! Y'know, unless they looked up too late, and the "No" had already scrolled off...

''{Scrolls up to the display just as the "N" in "NO LOAFING" scrolls off.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...so they thought that it said, "DO Loafing."

''{The words "DO LOAFING" scroll on.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or maybe, like, Franklin Delano Loafing, our nation's laziest president.

''{The man doing cartwheels appears after "DO LOAFING", followed by "FRANKL" before the screen cuts back to Strong Bad's Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' That's enough loaf. As for the blue wall, if you're gonna repaint anything, you might as well use that magic green screen paint that Hollywood still thinks looks good. Then the wall can be anything you want!

''{Cut to Strong Bad's computer room, but with bright green walls instead of blue. Strong Bad happily skips in the middle of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Imagine being able to frolic through the bread aisle...

''{The wall — and Strong Bad's bright green eyes — are replaced with an image of a [[bread]] aisle at a supermarket.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...without leaving the house!

''{Strong Bad leans back against the wall and sinks into the sitting position.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, bread aisle! Warm me with your enriched, bleached bosom! And please, give me back my sight.

''{Cut to another part of the computer room with the same green paint. Strong Bad is sitting on the floor, looking at the wall, and holding a controller.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Or play your favorite video games where the pixels are big as hams!

''{The wall becomes a video game called "Sundae Drivin'", which involves a giant bowl of ice cream on wheels driving down the road collecting toppings.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating a car's engine}'' Vrrrrrrrr! Vrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

''{The sundae-car collects a cherry, and "CHERRY GET" appears on the top of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Vrrrrrrrrrr! Watch out for the wet walnuts!

''{The sundae-car collides with a brown jar with a "W" on it and it explodes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Awwwwwww!

''{The screen reads "Your James Over", with a cherry under it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This game sucks.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But what green screens are ''really'' for...

''{The screen cuts to Strong Bad, with a Greek spear, shield, and helmet, looking at the wall, which appears to be an island village with a "Claymation" cycloptic monster on it. Strong Mad can be heard doing the voice of the monster.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...is battling Claymation!

''{The monster steps forward, roaring and swiping in Strong Bad's direction.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It'll take more than karate pants to keep me from toilet-papering the temple of the gods!

''{Coach Z walks in. Where his bright green body overlaps the wall, the green screen's image appears over him, leaving just his head and feet standing on the carpet. His usual "Z" medallion is replaced with a glossy curved medallion with fangs, resembling The Cheat's remake of the No Loafing sign. Strong Bad and the monster stop fighting. When Coach Z says "Check it out!", the monster looks at the Z emblem. When Coach Z says "and turned it all..." The monster gives a glance at Strong Bad.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, Strong Bad! Check it out! I squished it! And skewed it! And turned it all...

''{The medallion is squished, skewed, and turned around. Both Strong Bad and the monster run off. The monster's motion trail is seen while it runs away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aaaaaaaaaaaah!

'''COACH Z:''' ...a...round?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Aww, forget it, Jamie. ''{said as "quay-quay"}'' If you're so bored with my style, here's a change for ya.

''{Cut to the laundry room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{from offscreen}'' No, pan up!

''{The screen pans up to reveal a seashell-themed wallpaper near the ceiling.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I've put up this delightful ocean-themed border in the laundry room! Oh, and look!

''{The screen zooms in on the dials on the washing machine.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I hot-glued some actual shells onto the knobs of the washer and dryer!

''{Cut back to show Strong Bad standing next to the washer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All for under fifty bucks!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, that's our show. Join us next week when we show you how to knit your own splatter paints!

''{Cut back again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All for under fifty bucks!

''{A logo for "redesigning SBEMAILS, JERK FOOT" appears.}''

'''SINGERS:''' Ba-doo ba! Do Daaaah!

''{On "Daaaah!", the words "FOR UNDER 50 BUCKS" appear below. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
[[Image:Animated 'No Loafing' Sign.gif|thumb=NoLoafing SmAnim.gif|The "New" No Loafing sign.]]
*The Lappy was covered in "[[LELLOWTAPE]]" because it had been nearly eight weeks (up to 55 days depending on when Strong Bad took the Lappy [[Weclome Back|skydiving]]) since the last email.
*[[wikipedia:Bluescreen|Green screens]] are used in film and television in order to have an alternate background behind the live action. The solid color wall is digitally replaced by a chosen background. This technique is called ''chroma key'' or ''color-separation overlay'', and can actually be done with any color, though blue and green are the most widely-used since human skin tones do not naturally contain blue or green pigments.

*The No Loafing Scrolling Sign is actually a [[Wikipedia:LED#LED display panels|scrolling LED marquee]] ''(Pictured)''.
*A cafetorium is a room used as both a cafeteria and an auditorium and often associated with older school buildings without sufficient room to have two separate areas.

===Trivia===
*This marks the first appearance of [[Monosodium Dreams]], (an [[Wikipedia:IMac G5|iMac G5]] or [[Wikipedia:IMac Core Duo|iMac Core Duo]]), replacing the "[[Tangerine Dreams]]" [[Wikipedia:IMac G3|iMac G3]] The Cheat previously had.
*The floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#sundae drivin'|sundae drivin]]", which is the game Strong Bad plays on the greenscreen-painted wall.
*On the dryer, one knob reads, "Start"; the other has three settings: "Dry", "Real Dry", and "High & Dry".

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad is able to fluently type the word "redesign" with only his left hand, although it uses letters from both sides of the keyboard.
*Strong Bad's "Squish it, skew it, turn it all around" song is the same tune as the "Email is nice, email is twice" song at the beginning of the email.
*The Flo-Jo'd No Loafing Sign with the no-symbol has inconsistent lighting. The no-symbol is lit from the top left while the text is lit from the top right. The strong highlights are also placed inconsistently.
*When Strong Bad is playing Color Wheel Roulette, the No Loafing sign only cycles through five color schemes.
*Strong Bad asks The Cheat how he can print when "somebody sliced off the back of [his] monitor", yet his laptop screen is just as thin and he has no trouble printing The Paper out.
*The cartoon shows Strong Bad playing video games on his greenscreen-painted wall. This is actually impossible in real life, since chroma key only replaces green areas ''after'' processing the film or video output. (This is why TV weather forecasters have to look at an off-camera monitor to actually see the map they are pointing to.) Strong Bad would only ever see a green wall. The same goes for the battling claymation and being able to frolic through the bread aisle.
*On the scrolling LED No Loafing Sign, it is possible to see that the glowing lights do not line up perfectly, horizontally and vertically, with the dormant lights. Also, the words "No Loafing" slide across as a solid layer, rather than all the lights in each column lighting up one after another.
*None of the No Loafing signs are visible in the greenscreen scenes. In the real world, any of these signs would appear over the video being shown on the greenscreen.
*This email uses an older design of Strong Bad's face.

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad clears the screen, the "I was just thinking how bored I am with your butt, and" line disappears prematurely.
*When the screen shifts to the No Loafing Sign, you can briefly see a second cursor on the Lappy's screen.
*When Coach Z walks in front of the Green screen, the edge of the carpet can be seen through his ankles. This should not happen, as Coach Z's feet would fully block the view of the carpet whether the green-replacement effect has "removed" Coach Z's feet or not.


===Inside References===
*"Scroll-a botones" was previously used in one of the [[Scroll Button Songs]].
*The music that plays briefly in the background when Strong Bad starts "Color Wheel Roulette" is from [[The Show]], as heard on [[Main Page 19]].
*The box design for "Color Wheel Roulette Stupid Home Edition" is a reference to [[The Show#The Show! Stupid Home Edition|The Show! Stupid Home Edition]] from [[geddup noise]].
*When Strong Bad's game says "Your James Over" at the end, it echoes the [[Homsar Main Page]], where "Games" was pronounced "James".
*The explosion of the sundae looks very similar to the 'poofing' of Strong Bad's pants in [[senior prom]], Pom Pom's smoke bomb in [[Summer Short Shorts]], and the shell explosions in [[Let us give TANKS!]].


===Real-World References===
*"Franklin Delano Loafing" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Franklin D. Roosevelt|Franklin Delano Roosevelt]], the 32nd President of the United States. It's also another instance of [[Presidents]].
*"Flo-Jo" was a nickname for [[Wikipedia:Florence Griffith Joyner|Florence Griffith Joyner]], an American athlete.
*The famous phrase "No [[Wikipedia:Whammy (Press Your Luck)|Whammies]]" comes from the game show ''[[Wikipedia:Press Your Luck|Press Your Luck]]''.
*The Color Wheel picture is similar to that of [[Wikipedia: Wheel of Fortune|''Wheel of Fortune'']].
*The Color Wheel Roulette's claim of "50% fewer deaths than [[Russian]] variety" refers to the practice of [[Wikipedia:Russian roulette|Russian roulette]].
*Strong Bad's remark about dipping the sign in [[Wikipedia:Acrylic glass|molten plexiglass]] to "give it that 'children under 3 are sure to choke on it' goodness" is a reference to a common choking hazard warning seen on most plastic products.
*"Redesigning SBemails" at the end is a reference to the many house redesign shows on channels such as [[Wikipedia:HGTV|HGTV]].
**The tag line "FOR UNDER 50 BUCKS" is a reference to budget redesign shows such as [[IMDB:tt0370125|''Design on a Dime'']].
*The "Cherry Get!" graphic that appears when Strong Bad is playing "[[Sundae Drivin']]" is a reference to many Japanese video games, in which "[Object] Get!" is commonly displayed whenever you collect an object. 
*The scene with the [[stop motion]] cyclops is a mashup of [[Wikipedia:Ray Harryhausen|Ray Harryhausen]] movies, most notably of [[imdb:tt0051337|''The 7th Voyage of Sinbad'']], where Sinbad fights an orange claymation cyclops on the beach (though Harryhausen used his pioneering [[Wikipedia:Dynamation|Dynamation]] technique instead of greenscreens).
*"Pant one, pant two!!" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Pantone|Pantone]] color matching systems.
*The "big as hams" reference goes back to before [[Wikipedia:David Letterman|David Letterman]] made it big. He once lost a job as a weather man on local news for stating: "... and there are hail stones the size of canned hams out there!"


===Fast Forward===
*Strong Bad's echo effect would be imitated later in [[hremail3184]], which came out after another extensive break from regular updates.
*A pumpkin depicting Coach Z's redesigned logo would appear in [[Punkin Show]]. It is called the "2006 Coach Z logo", referring to the year this email came out.

== DVD Version ==
*Strong Bad's line, "But what greens screens are ''really'' for-" is replaced with Strong Bad's previously said line, "Now just when you think you're done..."

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

===Commentary Transcript===

'''Commentary by: [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]]'''

'''MIKE:''' Oh, it looks like there had been a little, a little respite. I think this was the Estiveeve break.

'''MATT:''' Oh, was it?

'''MIKE:''' Esteban Powell. 

'''MIKE:''' Ummm... So, I just recently saw a redesign of... a potential redesign of the Atlanta Hawks logo.

'''MATT:''' Uh-oh.

'''MIKE:''' It look terrible!

'''MATT:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah

'''MATT:''' Does it follow the rules? Does did get—

'''MIKE:''' ''{interrupts}'' It does! It totally follows the rules! I mean—

'''MATT:''' ''{interrupts, overlapping}'' Shiny, and angular?

'''MIKE:''' It's already shin- and it's terrible now, and it got worse. And the sad thing is the Atlanta Hawks have probably have the best logo of all time, their '80s logo.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Batman logo.

'''MATT:''' With all the retro, you know, with retro being so, so in, for the last twenty years.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, the def... they wear those uniforms maybe once or twice a year, but, I don't know why, they just don't go back to it.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Who is beat boxing, Mike? ''{At the "squish it, skew it, and turn it all around" part of the email}'' Was that you, or was that me? I don't remember.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Probably you.

'''MATT:''' Oh. I'm not a very good beat box—

'''MIKE:''' Me neither! ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' I don't think I would have volunteered.

'''MATT:''' Uh, I know you got it.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Bids his beat into there!

'''MATT:''' Oh, what's that show called, no whammy show? ''{Mike says quietly "Umm... um.."}'' Press Your Luck?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' That little whammy's guy, it's a little gremlin, right?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that came bac— Press Your Luck came back with like a terrible CG... ''{Mike can be faintly heard saying "What?"}'' no whammy guy.

''{short pause}''

'''MATT:''' ''{At around the part when the fangs are added.}'' That is a slick logo!

'''MATT:''' It looks like it would go smooth, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Hmmmhmm... a lozenge.

'''MATT:''' He's got a new, a new computer.

'''MIKE:''' The Tangerine Dream is gone.

'''MATT:''' It is. What is this called?

'''MIKE:''' ''{quietly}'' Umm... ''{giggles}'' Monosodium Dreams?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' That's what I called it.

'''MATT:''' ''{chuckles}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{while Matt is chuckling}'' I don— I don't know.

'''MATT:''' Umm... Look, look this is gonna tell you what's for lunch today!

'''MIKE:''' I changed... we never put it up, I did another version where instead of the cartwheel guy—

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

'''MIKE:''' I did some hightops that are moonwalking.

'''MATT:''' Ha, ha, yeah! Why didn't we put those in?

'''MIKE:''' I don't know maybe we'll throw those in as an Easter egg here.

'''MATT:''' Steg? ''{short pause}'' Sometimes ''{Mike can be heard saying "Steg?" in the background}'' I call them stegs.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah? I've never heard you call him that.

'''MATT:''' Well, maybe that you're not around. When I, when I do that.

'''MIKE:''' I guess, I guess not. I'm kinda glad.

'''MATT:''' Mmm-hmmm.

''{brief pause}''

'''MIKE:''' So, here's a postcard, that our friend Ryan, sent us.

'''MATT:''' You probably don't wanna read that out loud.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, it just says "We got to see these mountains and the park around sunset time. It was beautiful and had a pink hue to the whole range."

'''MATT:''' Is this from the Guadalupe mountains?

'''MIKE:''' National Park.

'''MATT:''' Wow. I can't believe Ryan was so poetic.

'''MIKE:''' Mmm-hmmm.

'''MATT:''' ''{Strong Bad leans on the wall during the "Bread Isle" background.}'' Look at all that bread.

'''MIKE:''' From the Giant Foods upstairs.

'''MATT:''' Supa, supa giant. His a— what's wrong with his eyes, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Well, Matt, let me explain to you about green screen technology! ''{Matt is heard faintly chuckling in the background.}''

'''MATT:''' Uh, why haven't we made this game yet?

'''MATT:''' ''{In response to the words "CHERRY GET!" at the top of the screen}'' Cherry, get! Hah!

'''MIKE:''' Look out for the wet — Oh, wet walnuts.

'''MATT:''' That's a nice explosion, for a game of that caliber. ''{Mike is heard laughing in the background.}'' Yeah, it's the Cheat Commandos explosion— Well, remember how good the Pole Position explosion was? That was like, photo real! I remember thinking it was photo real. Pho-real! Do you think that— People saying "fo' real" comes from? Fo' real? It's short for photo real?

'''MIKE:''' I do.

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{Strong Bad is now in the laundry room.}'' Umm... So—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Mom likes to watch shows like this.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah!

'''MATT:''' I that that, I think somewhere in our— Mom's house there's a— a border like that.

'''MATT:''' She may have hot glued some shells some uh...

'''MIKE:''' ''{interrupts}'' Uh, no! No.

'''MATT:''' That's a nice looking nautilus though. ''{Mike can be heard doing a short "chuckle"}'' I have to say that nautilus shell? I would put that in my bathroom.

'''MIKE:''' I'd put a Nautilus weight machine in my bathroom.

'''MATT:''' Oh, yeah?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{As if he was trying to insult Mike}'' Jerk foot!

== A Less-than-Serious Jones ==

Something I've been wondering for a while... It keeps coming to me. It's probably fairly unlikely (TTATOT comes to mind), but could "Interruptor Jones" be a reference to [[Wikipedia:List of Sesame Street characters#F|Forgetful Jones]]? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

After Strong Sad says the line about the British guy, I swear Strong Bad mumbles fhqwhgads. [[User:AK47x2|AK47x2]] 17:29, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Nah. It sounds like Strong Bad mumbles "garble dish". It doesn't sound ANYTHING like fhqwhgads.

Yeah. It sounds a lot like "garble dish". -Cool Tapes.exe

Do you think its worth noting that the brown egg is likly to be this one type of chicken egg?--[[User:Inferno mainiac|Inferno mainiac]] 22:37, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

I swear, it sounded like SB mumbled "Pilotwings" in the line just before he mumbles "Super Bomberman". Anyone else hear it?
