===Trivia===
*Several things available in the Flash Store are not available in the redesigned store. In particular, the various T-shirts
*When up, clicking "Back" always linked to [[Main Page 5]].
*From left to right, the T-shirts play the notes A, B, C#, D#, F#, G#, A#, C, C#, D, E, F, G#, and A#.
**For a time, playing the T-shirts in the order of A, B, A, B, A, A, B, D would have shown a preview of the series two figurines. This tune was the same as the background music in [[action figure]].
*If a visitor's computer happens to not be able to handle redirects (such as when JavaScript is disabled) or if it's searched for on Google, the title of the Flash Store's old page will be "Old Flash Store Page R.I.P."
*The Stinkoman T-shirt is the only one that is $17. (all the others are $15)

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Another week, another email scandal! Strong Bad gonna fly off the handle! ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: strong bad email</div>
Hey mr S to the B 
I was wondering what the nightlife is like in strongbadia? 
What kinda hip clubs and fun hotspots are there to 
check out? 
Somekindaguy 
Josh CO 
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Mr" as "mer", "Somekindaguy" as "Soma-keenda-goo-ay" and "Josh CO" as "JoshCO!", adding "makers of funny products and funnier slogans." He also puts emphasis on "kinda" as if "kinda hip" meant "somewhat hip"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, we only have one real fun hotspot. As you may well have already guessed, I am of course talking about

''{Carrot and Kazoo Hill is shown, with Homestar and Stong Sad standing on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Carrot and Kazoo Hill.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{unemotional}'' Whee.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Good times.

''{Back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Man, the hill was jumpin' that night! As far as clubs go, Club Technochocolate is about as kinda hip as it gets! Some towns have party clubs, but we've got our very own bona fide ''pwawty cloughb!''

''{A flyer is shown while music begins to play in the background, which reads: Club Technochocolate / Free Country USA's Premier / PWAWTY CLOUGHB / (Not a place for technological chocolate bars)}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' When I'm going out to the cloughb, I always like to take off ''{Cut to Strong Bad's Bedroom. He is standing in the foreground messing with his shirt.}'' my best shirt! ''{His best shirt is light blue with a tribal mark. He rips it open with a "huah!", popping a button. He begins to spray himself with body spray.}''

''{Camera cuts to Strong Sad, who is leaning in the doorway from the Basement}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Strong Bad, are you putting on body spray?

''{Cut back to Strong Bad, still holding the black can of body spray}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up! Guys don't wear body spray. This is uh... the blood... of slain... warrior... mammoths.

''{Scene darkens}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Of course, the cloughb only lets the freshest clientèle inside. But my name has been laser-etched into the guest list by now.

''{We see a location somewhere in the Field, at night. Strong Mad is standing behind a velvet-rope as Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' NAME PLEASE!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, man, drop the act! I've gotta get into the pwawty cloughb.

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{holding up a grease-stained Blubb-o's bag}'' YOU'RE NOT ON THE LIST!

'''STRONG BAD:''' The list?! You're looking at a greasy bag of fast food!

'''STRONG MAD:''' DON'T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF! ''{he laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, what? Strong Mad, did you just make a joke?! That was pretty good! Now hows about letting me in?

'''STRONG MAD:''' NAME PLEASE!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh... Spicy Crispy Chicken Melt... Johnson.

'''STRONG MAD:''' NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN, MR. JOHNSON! ''{he unhooks the rope and lets Strong Bad through}''

''{Various Cuts: Club TechnoChocolate. Bubs, Marzipan, and Pom Pom are seen dancing. The Cheat is DJ'ing.}''

'''SINGERS:''' ''{the second singer has a robotic voice, and speaks under the first}'' Smart drinks. (These are not smart drinks.) These are smart drinks. (These are definitely not smart drinks.) These are smart drinks. (Definitely not smart drinks.) Have another round. (Don't.) Have another round! (Don't.)

''{Cut to: Club Technochocolate's bar. Strong Bad walks in from our left. Bubs slides in from our right, behind the bar.}''

'''BUBS:''' Well, if it isn't my main man Spicy Crispy Chicken Melt.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I need the brightest, glowiest drink in the house.

''{Zoom in on Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' How about a nice Pink Elephant Pants?

''{Zoom out again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll take it!

''{Bubs reaches under the bar, and produces an eyedropper containing a green liquid}''

'''BUBS:''' That'll be $17.50.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! You guys must be having a sale!

''{We see the edge of the Club Technochocolate dance floor. Marzipan and Strong Sad are standing just off the dance floor. Strong Sad is wearing fishnet gloves.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' You don't look like you're having very much fun, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh I'm having a great time. This is my favorite club to go to, and not dance. Sometimes I'll even ''think'' about dancing, and then not dance. And if I'm feeling ''really'' crazy, I'll actually get out on the dance floor, and bust some fresh not-dancing.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Then how about I start busting some fresh not-hanging-out-with-you.

''{Marzipan walks off. Cut to Strong Bad dancing on the dance floor.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{off-screen}'' Hey Strong Bad.

''{Zoom out. Homestar is standing behind Strong Bad (our left). He looks like he has just woken up, complete with unshaved face, dressing gown, sleeping cap, and [[Nebulon]] slippers. His eyes are closed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, get outta here! I'm doin my matin' dance.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{eyes still closed} {unintelligible}'' more, more...badges.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Because I got more badges than you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, are you asleep?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Because I sold more thin mints than you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, are you asleep and dreaming you're a girl scout?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No Ma'am, Troop Beverly Hills.

''{We see The cheat DJ'ing in the DJ booth.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' And at some point during the night, we all get "treated" to Coach Z ''{Zoom out, Coach Z with a mic}'' attempting to freestyle.

'''COACH Z:''' One two one two, 'bout to freestyle... One, two? One two?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' I mean... count to two over and over again.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{overlapping}'' Ha, one two one two! Here I go! Hang on, one two.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' And no night at the cloughb would be complete, without me getting tossed out on my leopard print hinders.

''{Back to the entrance. Strong Bad gets tossed out, wearing leopard print underwear. Strong Mad is no longer visible.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's not my fault! It's those light-èd floors! I think my pants are mysteriously drawn to them!

''{Strong Bad's pants get thrown out too. They land on his head and remain unfolded.}''

''{Cut back to Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So that's the nightlife around here, Soma. Of course, there's also the pour rotten milk on Marzipan's prized petunias while she's asleep variety of nightlife as well, but that's another email, for another time. This has been Strong Bad, with Strong Bad E-mail 185 ''{pronounced one eighty-five}''. Thanks for listening.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Another week, another email scandal! Strong Bad gonna fly off the handle! ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: strong bad email</div>
Hey mr S to the B 
I was wondering what the nightlife is like in strongbadia? 
What kinda hip clubs and fun hotspots are there to 
check out? 
Somekindaguy 
Josh CO 
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Mr" as "mer", "Somekindaguy" as "Soma-keenda-goo-ay" and "Josh CO" as "JoshCO!", adding "makers of funny products and funnier slogans." He also puts emphasis on "kinda" as if "kinda hip" meant "somewhat hip"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, we only have one real fun hotspot. As you may well have already guessed, I am of course talking about

''{Carrot and Kazoo Hill is shown, with Homestar and Stong Sad standing on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Carrot and Kazoo Hill.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{unemotional}'' Whee.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Good times.

''{Back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Man, the hill was jumpin' that night! As far as clubs go, Club Technochocolate is about as kinda hip as it gets! Some towns have party clubs, but we've got our very own bona fide ''pwawty cloughb!''

''{A flyer is shown while music begins to play in the background, which reads: Club Technochocolate / Free Country USA's Premier / PWAWTY CLOUGHB / (Not a place for technological chocolate bars)}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' When I'm going out to the cloughb, I always like to take off ''{Cut to Strong Bad's Bedroom. He is standing in the foreground messing with his shirt.}'' my best shirt! ''{His best shirt is light blue with a tribal mark. He rips it open with a "huah!", popping a button. He begins to spray himself with body spray.}''

''{Camera cuts to Strong Sad, who is leaning in the doorway from the Basement}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Strong Bad, are you putting on body spray?

''{Cut back to Strong Bad, still holding the black can of body spray}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up! Guys don't wear body spray. This is uh... the blood... of slain... warrior... mammoths.

''{Scene darkens}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' Of course, the cloughb only lets the freshest clientèle inside. But my name has been laser-etched into the guest list by now.

''{We see a location somewhere in the Field, at night. Strong Mad is standing behind a velvet-rope as Strong Bad walks up.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' NAME PLEASE!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, man, drop the act! I've gotta get into the pwawty cloughb.

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{holding up a grease-stained Blubb-o's bag}'' YOU'RE NOT ON THE LIST!

'''STRONG BAD:''' The list?! You're looking at a greasy bag of fast food!

'''STRONG MAD:''' DON'T BE SO HARD ON YOURSELF! ''{he laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, what? Strong Mad, did you just make a joke?! That was pretty good! Now hows about letting me in?

'''STRONG MAD:''' NAME PLEASE!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh... Spicy Crispy Chicken Melt... Johnson.

'''STRONG MAD:''' NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN, MR. JOHNSON! ''{he unhooks the rope and lets Strong Bad through}''

''{Various Cuts: Club TechnoChocolate. Bubs, Marzipan, and Pom Pom are seen dancing. The Cheat is DJ'ing.}''

'''SINGERS:''' ''{the second singer has a robotic voice, and speaks under the first}'' Smart drinks. (These are not smart drinks.) These are smart drinks. (These are definitely not smart drinks.) These are smart drinks. (Definitely not smart drinks.) Have another round. (Don't.) Have another round! (Don't.)

''{Cut to: Club Technochocolate's bar. Strong Bad walks in from our left. Bubs slides in from our right, behind the bar.}''

'''BUBS:''' Well, if it isn't my main man Spicy Crispy Chicken Melt.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I need the brightest, glowiest drink in the house.

''{Zoom in on Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' How about a nice Pink Elephant Pants?

''{Zoom out again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll take it!

''{Bubs reaches under the bar, and produces an eyedropper containing a green liquid}''

'''BUBS:''' That'll be $17.50.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! You guys must be having a sale!

''{We see the edge of the Club Technochocolate dance floor. Marzipan and Strong Sad are standing just off the dance floor. Strong Sad is wearing fishnet gloves.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' You don't look like you're having very much fun, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh I'm having a great time. This is my favorite club to go to, and not dance. Sometimes I'll even ''think'' about dancing, and then not dance. And if I'm feeling ''really'' crazy, I'll actually get out on the dance floor, and bust some fresh not-dancing.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Then how about I start busting some fresh not-hanging-out-with-you.

''{Marzipan walks off. Cut to Strong Bad dancing on the dance floor.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{off-screen}'' Hey Strong Bad.

''{Zoom out. Homestar is standing behind Strong Bad (our left). He looks like he has just woken up, complete with unshaved face, dressing gown, sleeping cap, and [[Nebulon]] slippers. His eyes are closed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, get outta here! I'm doin my matin' dance.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{eyes still closed} {unintelligible}'' more, more...badges.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Because I got more badges than you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, are you asleep?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Because I sold more thin mints than you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, are you asleep and dreaming you're a girl scout?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No Ma'am, Troop Beverly Hills.

''{We see The cheat DJ'ing in the DJ booth.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' And at some point during the night, we all get "treated" to Coach Z ''{Zoom out, Coach Z with a mic}'' attempting to freestyle.

'''COACH Z:''' One two one two, 'bout to freestyle... One, two? One two?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' I mean... count to two over and over again.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{overlapping}'' Ha, one two one two! Here I go! Hang on, one two.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' And no night at the cloughb would be complete, without me getting tossed out on my leopard print hinders.

''{Back to the entrance. Strong Bad gets tossed out, wearing leopard print underwear. Strong Mad is no longer visible.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's not my fault! It's those light-èd floors! I think my pants are mysteriously drawn to them!

''{Strong Bad's pants get thrown out too. They land on his head and remain unfolded.}''

''{Cut back to Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So that's the nightlife around here, Soma. Of course, there's also the pour rotten milk on Marzipan's prized petunias while she's asleep variety of nightlife as well, but that's another email, for another time. This has been Strong Bad, with Strong Bad E-mail 185 ''{pronounced one eighty-five}''. Thanks for listening.

==Transcript==

''{In the basement, Strong Sad is watching TV.}''

'''VOICE:''' ''{from TV}'' And that's why come Shakespeare was so awesome.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh! I see now.

''{Strong Bad enters.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Dairy Queen.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I already told you, I don't want to be called that any more! I made a mistake!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh; sorry, Dairy Queen. Anyways, look. I just thought you should know that all your underwears somehow ended up individually priced and labeled in an online auction.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{gets up, runs out of the room}'' Nobody buy the blue ones!

'''STRONG BAD:''' That was too easy. Now to settle down for the 24-hour Caleb Rentpayer marathon! ''{changes channel}''

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Caleb, were you making a little tent out of my jacket?

'''CALEB:''' I am now!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, you make that little tent, Caleb! He's not the boss of you!

''{Cut to the field. Homestar is running along. Cue music beat.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing approximately to the tune of the [[Theme Song Video|Homestar Runner Theme Song]]}'' Hooomestaaar is running. Along. ''{drifting out of time with the music}'' Hooomestaaa–

''{A record scratches as he suddenly stops and starts coughing/spitting profusely.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Agh! I swallowed a bug! Bug swallow! Bug swallow! What do I do? What do I do? ''{composes himself}'' Okay, okay, calm down. Calm...down. Remember health class. A-hem.

''{Homestar goes down on one knee.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{slowly and deliberately}'' Sir or madam, are you all right? Do you need medical resistance? ''{anguished}'' Oh, it's not working! The good times are over! ''{runs off}''

''{The music starts up again and cut to another part of the field, where the King of Town and Pom Pom are eating ice cream bars.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I keep telling him the sun don't rise and set on that pile of whatsit, but he don't want to listen!

''{Homestar runs in.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbling noises}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Pom Pom! Santa! I think I swallowed a bug!

''{He kneels down in front of the King of Town.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' The good times are over! You gotta help me out! I could die!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Well, what do you want we should do?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Gimme them dang ice creams! ''{grabs the ice cream bars}'' We'll freeze 'im out! ''{quickly eats them}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Doo! That stuff's prescription!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sobs}'' Oh-ho-ho, it deliciously didn't work!

''{While saying this, he pokes Pom Pom with the one of the leftover sticks. Pom Pom narrows his eyes at Homestar, annoyed.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Agh! ''(runs off}''

''{Cut to the basement, where Strong Bad is still watching TV.}''

'''CALEB:''' You throw like a girl, Tucksworth.

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Caleb, that suitcase was heavy!

''{Strong Sad enters.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' What online auction? I can't find anything. I even did an image search for "the blue ones" and got nothing. Or...nothing pleasant, anyway.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, keep searching. Try putting stuff in quotes or something. Or use "and" and "or". Oh, yeah, "and" go away.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{smiles}'' Oh, Boolean operators! "Blue ''and'' ones"! Good idea! ''{walks off}''

''{Cut to Bubs' concession stand. Bubs is burning an envelope labeled "EXHIBIT A" with a lighter.}'' 

'''BUBS:''' This is just fine!

''{Homestar runs in. Bubs drops the lighter and throws away the envelope.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubs, you're a doctor, right? I think a bug flew into the side of my mouth. I'm afraid the good times are over!

'''BUBS:''' A doctor, eh? I think I might be one of those. Let me take a look. ''{examines a wad of his business cards}'' Whadda we got here? Bail bondsman, paranormal investigator, normal investigator... Oh, here we go! "Dr." Bubs! Let's take a look atcha.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aaaaah. ''{opens mouth}''

'''BUBS:''' Hmm… ''{peers inside}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{gurgles "You got it?"}''

'''BUBS:''' Okay...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{gurgles "Okay..."}''

'''BUBS:''' Yes, yes.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{gurgles "Yes, yes."}''

'''BUBS:''' Interesting.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{gurgles "Is it good?"}''

'''BUBS:''' I've got terrible, terrible news, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, no! Is it about the good times?

'''BUBS:''' I'm afraid you've got no pancreas.

''{Homestar looks annoyed}''

'''BUBS:''' But I do happen to have a fresh one for sale right here!

''{Bubs picks up a cooler (brand named 'coola') labeled "EXHIBIT B" and places it on the counter}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bubs, are you an unethical quack?

'''BUBS:''' The most quackinest!

''{before moving away, Homestar suddenly smiles, seeming satisfied about something.}''

''{Cut to the basement, where Strong Bad is watching TV with a fork in his hand and a skillet in his lap.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitating Tucksworth}'' Strong Caleb, did you make the best omelette ever during the commercial break? ''{imitating Caleb}'' I sure did.

''{Homestar runs in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad! I think I—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''(silencing him}'' Ah-ah-ah! Not today, McDorkle.

''{Homestar leaves and then jumps in from the other side.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad! I think a bug might have—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Can't you see Grandma's watching her stories?

''{Homestar leaves.}''

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Why aren't you breathing, Caleb?

''{Homestar pops up from behind the couch.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad—

''{Strong Bad hits him in the head with his skillet.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ugh. ''{falls down}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And coming up next on ''Caleb Rentpayer'', find out ''whom'' shot Caleb.

'''STRONG BAD:''' "Who shot Caleb?" Oh, there's ''no'' way I'm missing that one. ''No way.''

''{Fade to black. Some time later, Homestar emerges from behind the couch. The couch is empty.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{yawns and smacks his lips}'' That was a great skillet-nap! Thanks, Strong Bad. Strong Bad?

''{Cut to the TV, where Strong Bad has duct-taped himself to the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{somewhat muffled}'' Can't...miss...any of...the action!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, the good times are over! I swallowed your computer!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You ''what''?! ''{tears his head from the TV}''

''{TV music stops.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I mean a small bug. I swallowed a small bug.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dejected}'' Aw. Now my head's not taped to the TV.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad, I really need your help.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And ''I'' really need to find out who shot Caleb Rentpayer!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, that's easy. I did.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You-ka— w-wha?

'''TUCKSWORTH:''' Homestar Runner... ''{Homestar smiles}'' ...did you shoot Caleb?

''{Homestar appears on the TV, wearing the sunglasses he wore in [[the bet]].}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I sure did.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You traitor! You shot my favorite TV show! ''(throws the remote at Homestar's face}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hiccup. ''{the bug flies out of his mouth}'' Hey, look at that! A little guy. A bug ''did'' fly in my mouth!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh... the good times are ''definitely'' over.

''{Strong Sad runs in, wearing a blue pair of underwear. Strong Bad opens his mouth in surprise.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' The world is saved! I found the blue ooooones!

''{The bug flies across the screen as the toon ends}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*A [[Wikipedia:Logical connective|Boolean operator]] is a logical conjunction describing the relationship between two assertions ('and' and 'or' being primary examples). Some search engines accept them.
*Using quotes refers to putting a multi-word search term inside of quotation marks. Most search engines will respond by searching for the enclosed phrase as a whole instead of the individual words.
*The [[Wikipedia:pancreas|pancreas]] is a large lobulated organ that secretes digestive enzymes and the hormones [[Wikipedia:insulin|insulin]] and [[Wikipedia:glucagon|glucagon]].
*A [[Wikipedia:Bail bondsman|Bail bondsman]] is a person who posts bail in exchange for a fee, usually 10 percent of the total bail.
*A "[[wikipedia:Quackery|quack]]" is an untrained person who pretends to be a physician and dispenses medical advice and treatment.

===Trivia===
*Bubs's cards read:
Bubs
Bail Bondsman,
Extraordinaire

pager: 555-7896
beeper: 555-3421

BUBS
PARANORMAL
INVESTIGATOR

EEEEEMAIL: BUBS@BUBS.BUBS

Bubs
Normal
Investigator

"Not Associated with
Bubs: Paranaormal Investigator!!"

"Dr." Bubs

VCR Repair/Fashion Consultant

*Bubs's [[Characters' Contacts|email address]] here is bubs@bubs.bubs, but it was bubs@homestarrunner.com in [[unused emails]].
*When the Announcer says "whom", in an attempt to sound sophisticated, it is grammatically incorrect. The question should use "who".
*"The good times are over!" has been [[Quote of the Week]] twice, though the second time was for only one day.

===Remarks===
*Strong Sad has underwear even though he said he "doesn't really wear clothes" in his [[Strong Sad's Lament|blog]].
*The telephone numbers on Bubs's business cards have the prefix [[Wikipedia:555 telephone number|555]], which is commonly used for fictional numbers in North American movies and television.
* If the cartoon is played frame-by-frame, it shows that no bug or fly ever enters Homestar's mouth.
* Strong Bad claims to have placed Strong Sad's underwear in an online auction despite the fact that most major online auction sites prohibit selling used underwear. An example is the eBay® [http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/used-clothing.html used clothing policy].
* Part of the [[Caleb Rentpayer]] episode (where Caleb says that Tucksworth "throws like a girl") breaks the show's usual format. Whereas a standard episode would usually have Tucksworth asking Caleb if he did/ate/took something and Caleb defiantly stating "I sure am/did", this portion has Caleb speak first. Of course, he's still mean and insulting to Tucksworth.
* This is the first Big Toon since [[The Reddest Radish]] not to include opening credits.

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad sits on the couch in the first scene, his left eye is slightly mispositioned.
*When Strong Sad turns around in front of the couch after talking about Boolean operators, his leg appears behind [[Remote Control|the remote]] that is on the couch.
*Bubs's "Normal Investigator" card misspells "paranormal" as "paranaormal".
*When Strong Bad is duct taped to the TV, there are five pieces of tape. After he turns around, there are only four.
*In the frame in which Strong Bad's head is turned to the right while looking backwards at Homestar, the grey section is visible on both ends of the tape, but the silver, sticky side is the one which should be showing on the end between Strong Bad's head and the TV.

===Inside References===
*Bubs provided VCR repair in the email [[12:00]].
*The scene featuring Homestar running over darkened hills is similar to [[Old Intro 2]].
*"The most quackinest" may be a reference to [[Pom Pom#Character video transcript|Pom Pom's character video]], the page title of which is "The Most Mackinest".
*''[[Caleb Rentpayer]]'' first appeared in [[secret recipes]]. This is the first time the show and Tucksworth have been named.
*Homestar uses the same sunglasses in the email [[the bet]].
*[[The VCR]] on the top of the TV is the same VCR as the one used in the Characters page and the email [[12:00]].



*The drum beat heard in the background of the beginning music is from the email [[the facts]], when [[Cubeland]] was featured.
*The brown ice cream bar drawing originally appeared as Homestar's purple Popsicle in [[the facts]].
*The phrase "why come" was first used in the [[Yearbook Character Page]], where the description for Bubs reads "That's why come he's so fat."

===Real-World References===
*The title of the toon is based on [[Wikipedia:Foot and mouth disease|foot and mouth disease]], a disease that affects cattle.
*The page title (Don't...kill...bugs.) is a reference to [[wikipedia:Bob & Doug McKenzie|Bob & Doug McKenzie's]] [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000001EPF/qid=1103258200/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/104-4330593-4682322?v=glance&s=music&n=507846 "Great White North" album]. Specifically, it refers to the [http://www.mts.net/~marcz/hosers/elron2.htm "Elron McKenzie"] track, where Doug plays a preacher whose sermon deals with the importance of not killing bugs.

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

'''MATT:''' I'm going to try extra hard to use good diction and proper grammar during this commentary, Mike Chapman.

'''MIKE:''' You're off to a very good start, brother Matt.

'''MATT:''' Thank you.

'''MIKE:''' That guy on the TV didn't have good grammar now, did he?

'''MATT:''' No. ''{word is obscured by his laughing}'' Hey, this sort of relates to later on when we referred to Strong Sad's soft-serve flip. Do you think that's why he wanted to be called "Dairy Queen" temporarily?

'''MIKE:''' Oh, yeah! ''{chuckling}'' Maybe, maybe! His head looks like a... Dairy Queen ice cream cone!

'''MATT:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' Umm...

'''MATT:''' ''{singing}'' In the land of Dairy Queen,

'''BOTH:''' ''{singing}'' we treat you right!

'''MATT:''' Remember those commercials that used to have the land of Dairy Queen in them? It was like a chocolate...

'''MIKE:''' ''{interrupting}'' Yeah, a chocolate river with, like, a fudge canyon? ''{pause}'' So Caleb Rentpayer is a very good show!

'''MATT:''' I think so! I would like to see a full episode of Caleb Rentpayer and Tucksworth, his butler. So, did— Caleb somehow come into a lot of money, and that's why he suddenly has this butler?

'''MIKE:''' Maybe. You know what I'm just now thinking; I recently saw the movie ''Arthur'' again for the first time in twenty years, and it's sort of similar. Arthur is just kind of this, you know...

'''MATT:''' Vagabond?

'''MIKE:''' Well he's got all this money, but he's not, you know, he's got a butler, but he's not very nice to him—

'''MATT:''' Oh.

'''MIKE:''' And um... sort of, he's not quite as... disrespectful to his butler as— as Caleb— as Caleb is, ''{Matt laughs}'' but the but— the butler's always kind of trying to cover his tracks—

'''MATT:''' Oh, okay.

'''MIKE:''' ...and, anyway...

'''MATT:''' Poor Tucksworth.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. ''{laughs}''

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Is that the only time that Homestar refers to the King of Town as... Santa Claus? Doesn't he call him Father Christmas, maybe, another time?

'''MIKE:''' Uhhm...

'''MATT:''' Or did we just discuss doing one or the other of those when we made this cartoon?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think— I don't know; I think that's the only time, Matt.

'''MATT:''' I think it was a toss-up between Father Christmas and Santa.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Aww.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, Caleb, I'd like to see you throw that suitcase!

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' I remember taking a class on HTML in college and they— they talked all about Boolean operators and how to search for things on the internet using Infoseek or Altavista.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Altavista! Hotbot?

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

'''MIKE:''' I remember—

'''MATT:''' Blue AND ones, NOT red AND ones! I think you could do "not", as well, couldn't you? ''{laughs}'' "This is just fine", Mike!

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

'''MATT:''' It's the— we all know that Bubs, you know, just wants to rip you off and take your money but this is the first sort of criminal, uh, element that we've seen, or criminal...

'''MIKE:''' I think we... I think there's a misspelling somewhere.

'''MATT:''' Is there? Consul-tant?

'''MIKE:''' Nah, I think we missed it. The wiki told me. ''{laughs}'' Maybe we corrected it already.

'''MATT:''' ''{imitating Homestar's line}'' You got it?

'''BOTH:''' ''{laugh}''

'''MATT:''' That's some good mumbles! I remem— I record— I usually try, if the character is doing something like that, like talking with his mouth open, then I try to do the lines with my mouth open, obviously, and there's other times where Strong Bad's like— ooh! later on in this cartoon! when he's got his face up against the TV...

'''MIKE:''' Right.

'''MATT:''' He's duct-taped his head to the TV, where I, like, mashed my face into a book, I think, and then miked it so I'd be like, "woarh, woarh!", trying to make it as authentic as possible. Want to experience what the characters are experiencing.

'''MIKE:''' We call that, umm... character acting?

'''MATT:''' Method acting?

'''MIKE:''' Method acting!

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' ''{responding to Strong Bad's "Can't you see grandma's watching her stories?"}'' Uhh, she is.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Things get serious in this episode of Caleb Rentpayer. Who shot Caleb, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' I think I know.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. ''{pause}'' Remember that— there was some game you played on your fingers about who shot J.R.? Like it was this thing that was like, "Who shot J.R.?" and then you, like, made your pinky go away. Then you said, "Who shot J.R.?" and then your ring finger went away. And then it ended up making a gun, and— and you said, "It was me!" ''{makes a sound of a shot}'' I remember, uh... Brandon, that lived in the cul-de-sac behind ours doing that. To me.

'''MIKE:''' Sounds hilarious!

'''MATT:''' It was great! And he had a dog named Dude.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' He did. And I thought it was "dood" as in, "doody".

'''MATT:''' I dooed. I just dooed in the toilet.

'''MIKE:''' I always thought the dog's name was a bad— kind of a bad word.

'''MATT:''' D-O-O-D.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' ''{seeing Homestar on the TV}'' Look, that's our office!

'''MIKE:''' Uh-huh.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' I like the little dotted line that trails from that little guy.

'''MIKE:''' Lemme guess, you made it.

'''MATT:''' No.

'''MIKE:''' You did that.

'''MATT:''' I thought you did.

'''MIKE:''' Nah, I think you did.

'''MATT:''' Oh. I'll quit complimenting the things that I made.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' I don't like the way the blue ones look and I made those very late in the game, and just wanted the cartoon to be done.

'''MATT:''' It's okay. Bye, everybody!

'''MIKE:''' Bye, Matt!

CannedSoap: /* Biography */

{{charnav|Strong Bad|sb|Homestar Runner|The Cheat}}
[[Image:currentbad.png|thumb|The ramblin' wreck of email-check!]]
== Biography ==

'''Strong Bad''' is one of the most well-known characters in the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work. He started out as the villain who tried to cheat his way to the top but was always doomed to fail before [[Homestar Runner]]. In the manner that minor characters become [[Wikipedia:breakout character|breakout characters]], he's now less of a villain and more of a highly expanded form of comic relief, with his irascible sarcasm and rough voice seeming to make him ever more popular with fans of the website.

He answers [[Strong Bad Email|emails]] with a passion, and will [[Poorly Written Emails|make fun]] of their grammar, punctuation, and spelling—although he's not overly worried about [[Strong Bad's Spelling|his own]]. He also hates to be asked about [[How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves On?|how do you type with boxing gloves on]]. He usually does what he does best when he gets an e-mail like that: '''[[DELETED|DELETED!!]]''' He also writes, illustrates, and narrates the series of [[Teen Girl Squad]] comics.

Strong Bad is the middle child of [[The Brothers Strong]]. His is the dominant personality and he loves to push everyone around: he's often abusing Homestar, [[Kicking The Cheat|kicking]] [[The Cheat]], [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|prank-calling]] [[Marzipan]], or [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship|tormenting]] [[Strong Sad]] (although it's been hinted that they [[The Secrets That I Keep|got along]] when they were younger). Although he seems to dislike or positively loathe most people, he enjoys the company of [[Bubs]], The Cheat, his ever-diligent lackey, [[Strong Mad]], his older brother, and, [[Strong Bad and Pom Pom's Relationship|to a lesser extent]], [[Pom Pom]].

He has boxing gloves for hands (which always have square window reflections on them, no matter where he is), and a [[Wikipedia:Lucha libre|lucha libre]] mask for a head (as confirmed in [[some kinda robot]]). Although he claims that his mask is his face, he once removed it in the [[the chair]], which caused him a lot of pain. His mouth is rectangular, though it often becomes round when he says words with the letter "o". Most of the time, Strong Bad's mouth is in a slight frown, but there are occasions where he [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]]. The blue diamond on his face also gives him the power to mentally open [[Cold One]]s and even pop Homestar's hat off his head; however, this seems to have been abandoned, as it was only demonstrated in [[super powers]]. Strong Bad rules the land of [[Strong Badia]], a barren field behind the [[Wikipedia:Dumpster (term)|dumpsters]] that is completely devoid of any sentient life. His favorite saying is (or was for a time) "[[Crap|holy crap]]", though he hates when people use the word crap when [[Crapfully Yours|signing emails]]. He frequently mangles words, as seen in [[army]]. ("We're a one man army. Er, a three man one-y. [[Three-to-One Marny|Three-to-one-marny]]?") It has also been [[road trip|implied]] that he wets the bed, a fact that he attempts to [[Blatant Lies|cover up]] with little success. However, he seems to sleep instead on the couch in his [[Strong_Bad's_Basement|basement]], frequently mumbling video game titles as he wakes surrounded by bags of [[Potate|Potate]].

Strong Bad talks a big line, claiming to be a criminal mastermind, a [[Exaggerated Strong Bad|muscle man]], and totally popular with the [[Strong Bad's Ladies|ladies]], though there is little evidence of any of these claims, and no shortage of evidence that they are all untrue. Strong Bad refuses to acknowledge this however, and continues unaffected with his delusions of grandeur. He is convinced that Marzipan likes, or has a crush on, him when in fact she "[[marzipan|really doesn't like him at all]]." Due to his delusional opinions about himself, much of what Strong Bad says is [[Blatant Lies|obviously untrue]].

He loves to listen to [[Limozeen]], [[Taranchula]], and [[Peter Frampton]]. He seems to dislike any band that isn't considered [[Heavy Metal|metal]], as seen towards the end of [[concert]]. His favorite show is [[Caleb Rentpayer]]. He also enjoys doing [[caper|Jumble puzzles]] and [[The Interview|baking]]. His love for [[Strong Bad's Technology|older technology]] such as cassette tapes, command prompt computers, old video games and laserdiscs, and the titles of events such as "[[monster truck|Awexome Cross '98]]", and "[[TrogdorCon '97]]" suggest that Strong Bad is "stuck in the '90s". Despite his love of the nineties, he seems to despise and destroy anything from any previous decade, like [[Wikipedia:8-track cartridge|8-Tracks]], TVs that lost their essence in the '70s, and the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|Nintendo Entertainment System]].

[[Image:Baby strong bad.png|thumb|"That freakin' duck swallowed both my pixels!"]]
Strong Bad has sung many hit singles, his most popular being "[[Everybody to the Limit]]". He also stars as the protagonist in the blockbuster action series "[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]".

He works with Homestar and The Cheat at an [[The Office|unnamed tech company]], though despite this fixed income, he seems to have financial troubles, and often attempts money making solutions of questionable legitimacy and [[other days|burns his bills]] with his [[BMW Lighter]]. His dream job, as stated in [[from work]], is to be a 2nd 2nd assistant space whale scrubber.

Strong Bad is somewhat prejudiced; he has been [[sb_email 22|banned from the UK]], and often [[little questions|ridicules non-English speakers]] on their e-mails. He also does not get on well with old people or [[for kids|children]], although he claims to have children of his own, including Jeffrey Beffrey Mudgeman, at his second secret home where he goes by the name Vance Mudgeman. He doesn't appear to care much for those children either, or perhaps he does and truly believes that "you got to be firm."

As evidenced in [[stand-up]], Strong Bad once did [[Wikipedia:standup comedy|stand-up comedy]] as a kid. He apparently wasn't very good, as he tried to make up jokes instead of using natural comedy or rehearsed jokes. However, he doesn't like talking about his act, because his pants fell down in front of the audience, and he ran away embarrassed.

''{'''Page Title:''' Get ready for the new!}'' ''{'''Place:''' [[Strong Badia]]}''

''{Strong Bad is seen standing next to several wooden props, including one of Homestar Runner with a snake wrapped around his head. He is moving some of the props around.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Hold on, I'm not done with the props yet! ''{turns to camera}'' Greetings, party people in the place to be! I am called Strong Bad! Hand over all your moneys in a paper and/or plastic bag! Ladies, form a line to my left for makeouts! Dudes, form a line to my right for high fives! Like I said, I'm Strong Bad. I've been described as cool, awesome, hot, video games, the hottest, and real real hot. Me and my big brother and our The Cheat pretty much run the show around here, as well as serve as a sort of multi-purpose criminal element. Yeah, we got a lot of—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Ahe-he-hem.

'''STRONG BAD''': What are you doing here?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Well, I was gonna get a high five, but, I see that I'm already here. And with a snake on my head!

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah, that's right. So I'm gonna have to charge you double. You know, since you're both here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': That sounds reasonable! ''{pronounces it re-ZON-able}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Okay, I only accept gold nuggets. Or maybe Denver Nuggets. ...Whatever you got on ya. Chicken nuggets.

===Fun Facts===
*"Party peoples in the place to be!" is a reference to an [[Wikipedia:Ultramagnetic MC|Ultramagnetic MC]] song called "Ego Trippin'", during which before the song, the announcer says, "Party peoples in the place to be! Just for you, it's the Ultramagnetic MCs!"
*The [[Wikipedia:Denver Nuggets|Denver Nuggets]] are a professional [[Wikipedia:National Basketball Association|NBA]] basketball team.

== Strength ==
There is highly conflicting evidence regarding Strong Bad's strength. For the most part, it is implied that Strong Bad is actually very weak and out of shape and that "Strong Bad" is merely his name and not an accurate description: In the email [[lady fan]], he is unable to do even a single push-up, and states that he used to be able to do only four. In addition, the paper on Strong Bad's desk in the [[Homestar Quiz]] reads "Strong Bad isn't so strong after all. If he tried hard, which of the following could he lift?", and lists the choices as "an ounce", "a week", "a weak", and "pepper". Strong Sad has stated on [[Strong Sad's Lament|his blog]] that Strong Bad's punches do not hurt, compared against Strong Mad's that do. On the other hand, in the email [[car]], Strong Bad demonstrates the ability to punch Homestar hard enough to hit and crack the wall, and in the email [[secret identity]], he literally tosses both Homestar and the King of Town out of his house. He can also easily pick up and carry the supposedly 42-pound [[Lappy 486]], and is quite adept at [[kicking The Cheat]] (hinted in [[Where's The Cheat?]] to weigh about 18 pounds). In the email [[lady...ing]], Strong Bad picks up and throws an anvil. It is possible that, like Homestar's "[[Lack of Visible Arms|arms]]", Strong Bad's true strength may be purposely ambiguous.

== Fun Facts ==
[[Image:Strong_Bad_Eyes_Closed.PNG|thumb|With both eyes shut]]
*Strong Bad and Strong Mad, and their original role as tag team wrestlers, came from the [[Nintendo]] video game [[Wikipedia:Tag Team Wrestling|Tag Team Wrestling]] created by Data East U.S.A. in 1986. In this game, one of the teams is called "The Strong Bads."
*Apparently, Strong Bad is able to survive, stand up, and even talk, with a hole blasted in his head, as shown in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] and the email [[lady...ing]].
*As evidenced in the e-mail [[your funeral]], it appears that his eyes will turn black after he dies.
*He has never completely closed his mouth, and he supposedly has a green tongue.
*Strong Bad was originally conceived as a masked wrestler because in their childhood, The Brothers Chaps viewed masked wrestlers as the embodiment of evil, making them an ideal choice for an antagonist.

*When he is sleeping, he [[Couch Mumbling|mumbles]] names of famous SNES games, such as Super Contra or Chrono Trigger.

*As of 18 March 2007, Strong Bad has the highest complete filmography of all the characters on the website, appearing in 320 toons.
*Strong Bad hopes to become a 2nd 2nd Assistant Space-Whale scrubber.
*Strong Bad has a [["Er" pronounced as "oi"|habit]] of pronouncing certain words with an "uhr" sound the way a stereotypical New Yorker would pronounce them (e.g. he says "soivice" instead of "service" in [[lackey]]).
*As evidenced in [[from work]] and [[business trip]], Strong Bad is currently employed.
*Strong Bad seems to possess superhuman typing skills. At his fastest, Strong Bad has been seen typing approximately 240 words per minute in a segment in [[death metal]].

Emails Taken in a Different Direction

CannedSoap — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 08:41:52 GMT

CannedSoap: Emails gone off

Sometimes in the [[Strong Bad emails]], [[Strong Bad]] mixes up what he is asked or told, and will do something either lightly suggested and make the whole [[email]] about it, or will mix up facts in the email. This is mostly seen in the [[Tandy 400]] emails, but it is also in the other two eras. Unusually, some of the mixed up emails actually create major parts of the [[Homestar Runner universe]]; [[Dangeresque]], several [[running gags]], [[Homsar]], [[Limozeen]], [[kicking The Cheat]], etc.

[[Tandy 400]] Twisted Emails
*In the email [[some kinda robot]], he is asked one question and makes the email about [[robots]] and his being the "greatest criminal mind of our time."
*In [[homsar]], Vinnie C. suggests [[Strong Bad]] should kill [[Homestar]] because of his hatred towards him. Vinnie C. though spells [[Homestar]] as [[Homsar]], and he then ends up dropping a heavy lourde on [[Homsar]], and leaves behind killing [[Homestar]]. (Though it might have been intentional so that [[Homestar]] wouldn't die)
*In the email [[i love you]], [[Strong Bad]] mentions nothing about [[anything]] in the email besides his/her name.
*In the email [[trevor the vampire]], since Trevor doesn't finish the sentence, "[[Strong Bad]]" tries to make an email in his honor, thinking that the vampires got him.
*In the email "[[i rule]]", Mike asks why he doesn't rule the world or some field, and ends up creating "[[Strong Badia]]".
*In the email "[[credit card]]", he receives an email from John and some people trying to steal Strong Bad's credit card number, he shifts the email to be about "[[Homestar]]" and uses his credit card information to buy things on "the_coolest_things_ever.com"
*In "[[i she be]]", "[[Strong Bad]]" is sent a phony email saying a girl was named great looking girl. After he plays along with it, he yells at her saying he gets a lot of emails like that and from "ladies with proper grammar" but then feels sorry for her. Thinking that he shouldn't let the email go to waste, he sends it to "[[The Cheat]]", later they text each other on an I.M.
*In "[[studying]]", he "advises" Roy to stop studying and spend time with his girlfriend. He later tries to steal his girlfriend, but he says that doesn't know her name or where she lives.
*In [[stand-up]], Joe p. wants him to do stand-up comedy. He repeatedly states "no", trying to avoid telling about an embarrassing thing that had happened to him before. "[[Strong Sad]]" comes in shortly after to show a tape of "[[Lil' Strong Bad]]" doing stand-up, somehow ending up in his [[pants]] falling for no real reason.
*In [[sb_email 22]], Mark asks what "[[Strong Bad]]" thinks of the English, Strong Bad tries to correct his email to sound more English-like (actually making it worse in reality), then he says his opinion, not being heard and the screen turns to black and white with BANNED IN THE UK appearing on the screen over it, for his obviously unethical opinions on England, later ending up in the guardian.
*In [[the bird]], the email has absolutely nothing to do with birds at all. Also, [[Strong Bad]]'s email is actually about flipping people off.
*In the email [[CGNU]], [[Strong Bad]], instead of telling how to graduate at [[CGNU]], he ends up making an advertisement for it. Also revealing that CGNU is not a real college an applying for it is just to make fun of you.
*In the email [[1 step ahead]],one of the choices is to TAKE THINGS IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION.
*In the email [[superhero name]] Strong Bad, instead of answering [[stiny]]'s question, he makes fun of his name and inserts him as a character in a [[Strong Badman]] issue
*In [[12:00]], [[Strong Bad]] is asked for advice on how to fix his vcr from blinking 12:00, he tries to do something that just makes it worse(duct taping an alarm to the vcr), though not realizing it at all.
*In "[[flag day]]" Strong Bad goes immediately from introducing the flag to singing the [[Strong Badia]] song.
*In "[[gimmicks]] [[Strong Bad]] seems to only repeat what he is saying several times, then his [[computer]] explodes with no explanation.
*In the email [[property of ones]], he responds to his email with 2 sentences before trailing off to his [[bogus mathematical theorem]]
*In [[little questions]] [[Strong Bad]] gets an email from a Swedish person, misspelling things and making grammatical errors throughout. Strong Bad]] responds in what he knows of how the Swedish talk, instead of answering without leaving a big question on what just happened.
*In [[marzipan]] [[Strong Bad]] goes from Emily's question about how nobody ever sees him with any girls. She mentions that [[the only girl]] she's ever seen even near him is [[Marzipan]]. Strong Bad then starts ranting that [[Marzipan]] can't keep her "hands" offa me (although this is entirely untrue).
In the email [[monster truck]], Stan and Loretta ask [[Strong Bad]] if he has ever done advertising for monster truck shows. He then twists it into him doing voice overs for [[Strong Badia]] events.

Death

CannedSoap — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 05:41:20 GMT

CannedSoap: /* Marzipan */

[[Image:Sbemail 168.png|thumb|"Oh, he looks so peaceful."]]
There are numerous references to the subject of '''death'''. These range from a [[character]]'s death or near-death, to imagining or behaving as though a character has died. As in many cartoons, when a character dies, the death is usually impermanent — the character may reappear alive, often with no explanation.

==Appearances==
===[[Bad Graphics Ghost]]===
*In an [[Easter egg]] in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[ghosts]], it is possible to "kill" the Bad Graphics Ghost by erasing the pixels.

===[[Bubs]]===
*In the Strong Bad Email [[pom pom]], Bubs mentions having "almost died the 15th time."
*In [[Sample of Style]], [[Mike Chapman]] rips the cardboard tube that "produces" Bubs's voice. [[Matt Chapman]] says that they will have to kill off Bubs, "just like [[Homeschool Winner]]". A picture of Bubs's grave then appears.
*In the Strong Bad Email [[unnatural]], Strong Bad frequently suggests that they kill the rampaging [[King Bubsgonzola Supreme]].

===[[Cheat Commandos]]===
*In the original [[Cheat Commandos (toon)|commercial]], [[Firebert]] is shown killing two [[Blue Laser Minions]] by blowing up a cliff above them, sending rocks crashing down on top of them. ([[Coach Z]] similarly "kills" five Blue Laser Minion action figures by using [[Reinforcements]]' [[Justice Rocket Backpack Rocket Rocket]] to send a [[pie]] plate crashing down on them.)
*In [[Shopping for Danger]], [[Crackotage]] remarks that [[Reynold]] would "prob'ly die" if he went on a mission with the rest of them, later heading back to base "to make sure Reynold isn't dead".
*In [[Commandos in the Classroom]], two Blue Laser Minions are just about to shoot [[Fightgar]] when we cut away from them.
*In [[Let us give TANKS!]], all of the main Commandos (except [[Reynold]]) are ostensibly killed in a nuclear explosion at the [[Blue Laser Cottage]], along with the [[Blue Laser Commander]] and at least two [[Blue Laser Minions]].
**In the same toon, the commander of the [[Green Helmets]] asks [[Gunhaver]] for air support in a battle because of the "heavy losses" they're suffering.
***Also in the same toon, [[Fightgar]] threatens to shoot the Blue Lasers with "bullet-shooting guns" (but it turns out he was just kidding).
* In [[Blue Laserdisc Challenge]], there are several different ways for the [[Blue Laser Commander]] to die if you choose incorrectly, such as being eaten by a monster or cut in half by a bladed pendulum.

===[[Frank Bennedetto]]===
*In the Strong Bad Email [[army]], Frank Bennedetto "dies", after being kicked by Strong Bad. He is later seen alive in [[Labor Dabor]].
**In the email [[more armies]], a memorial statue for Frank Bennedetto is seen. This may mean either that his death was real, or that his service in the Homestarmy was worthy of commemoration.

===[[The Goblin]]===
*In [[Homestarloween Party]], the Goblin is crushed by the short-circuited Visor Robot.

===[[Homestar Runner]]===
*In the Strong Bad Email [[the show]], Homestar says, "But it turned out I didn't die."
*In [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 2.0]], Strong Bad as "[[Aliases Used in Prank Calls|Detective Everybody]]" said Homestar was shot 37 times for being too stupid.
*Homestar is in [[Heaven]] on [[Main Page 6]] and is seen in a zombie-like form on [[Main Page 7]].
*In [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 14.2]], Homestar calls to say he is sinking in quicksand, and says that if Marzipan helps, he would be "really, really still alive."
*In [[the movies]], Strong Bad instructs Homestar to die before firing his bazooka at him.

===[[Homsar]]===
*In the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[homsar]], [[Strong Bad]] "kills" him with the [[Heavy Lourde]] at the request of Vinnie C. Although [[The Brothers Chaps]] intended at first for him to be killed, he was later revealed to be alive but seriously injured in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 5]]. The Heavy Lourde is dropped on him again on the [[Homsar Main Page]].
*In the Strong Bad Email [[origins]], he and [[Marzipan]] are glued together and "left for dead" at [[The Stick]], even though neither one actually dies.

He even wrote [[General and Fraulein Pom Pom|Pom Pom's parents]] a letter of condolence.

*The main characters in Teen Girl Squad are killed off nearly every episode in a variety of ways, yet they always come back alive in the next issue, and sometimes later in the same issue, as seen with [[Cheerleader]] in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]].
*In an Easter egg of [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]], [[What's Her Face]] suggests killing someone off for their tenth [[Teen Girl Squad]] issue.

===[[The Cheat]]===
*The Cheat has his own song, [[The Cheat is Not Dead]].
*In the Strong Bad email [[bedtime story]], The Cheat's vitals are tested after being [[Roach Killa!|bug-bombed]] in order to go to sleep. Strong Bad also says "If we're lucky, the Cheat will wake up alive the next morning".
*In [[Date Nite]], Strong Bad suggests drowning [[Marzipan]] and The Cheat.

===[[Videlectrix Mascot]]===
*At the beginning of [[Peasant's Quest]], when the Videlectrix logo is shown, the mascot runs in with a sword, then trips and impales himself on it.
*At the beginning of [[Where's an Egg?]], when the Videlectrix logo is shown, the mascot shoots the logo with a [[gun]], but the bullet ricochets back and kills him.

===[[Visor Robot]]===
*In [[Homestarloween Party]], memories of his stolen life move him to tears and short out his circuits.

===The [[Where's an Egg?]] Detective===
*If the detective fails to find the [[egg]], he is exiled to Siberia and the game ends with him turning into a skeleton.

===[[The Yello Dello]]===
*During the mountain scene in the [[In Search of the Yello Dello New Version|new version]], [[Pom Pom]] aims his gun at the Yello Dello, but throws it away when Homestar says he wants to "take her alive."

===[[Items#Strong Bad's Computers|Strong Bad's Computers]]===
*Strong Bad's computers often meet with untimely demises, as seen in [[gimmicks]], [[virus]], and [[Biz Cas Fri 3]]. The [[Tandy 400]] returned in ghost form in [[ghosts]], and both the [[Compy 386]] and the Tandy appeared in ghost form after Strong Bad destroyed them in [[retirement]].

===[[Items#The Paper|The Paper]]===
*[[The Paper]] died in the [[the paper|eponymous]] email. After its printer broke, Strong Bad was forced to apply a mercy killing with the [[BMW Lighter]].

'''STRONG BAD:''' And coming in at number 91, it's: E-Maaaaaaaaaaail!

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
It must be really annoying living 
with someone as whiny as Strong Sad. 
Why don't you slip him some caffeine? 
 
Justin 
Murfreesboro, TN</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "TN" as "Tekken".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh-ho-ho-ho! Devilish laugh. ''{types "Ohhhhhhh. (devilish laugh)"}''

''{Strong Bad clears the screen and types again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dear Justin, In addition to the cut of your jib, I likes the sound of your town. Murfreesboro. But we got the All-Wide Science Fair just around the corner and I've been straining for a project. So far alls I've come up with is the effects of gasoline. ''{pauses a bit}'' On fire. ''{stops typing}''

''{Cut to a blue-print-style background, with the handwritten title "How to make science work for me".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So, I figure I just drop a couple of heaping spoonfuls—

''{Said spoon and jar of coffee powder appears}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —of Sanka

''{"heaping spoonful" appears with an arrow pointing at the powder}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —into Strong Sad's orange juice,

''{Said juice appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' and collect the ensuing data.

''{The spoon drops in the powder. It spoons some more powder, pauses while "yet another heaping spoonful" and another arrow appear, then stirs it in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'll definitely get first place. And who knows? I might even win me a Noble Peacie Prize...

''{"slight discoloration" and another arrow appears next to the juice, and "slightly disgusting" appears with yet another arrow pointing at the jar of coffee.}''

''{Cut to view of Strong Bad and Strong Sad in the basement. Strong Bad is holding a legal pad, in which he makes periodic notes. One of Strong Sad's eyes is open unnaturally wide, and he holds his hands high above his head. His fingers twitch frequently, and some erratic and discordant music plays in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So Strong Sad, tell me, how do you feel?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{speaking very quickly and clapping his hands together over his head}'' I feel great! I feel great! I feel great! I feel bad. I don't even watch football! I don't even watch football! I can't remember my legs.

''{Cut to Strong Sad following an annoyed The Cheat on hands and knees. Strong Bad is in the background, watching and taking notes.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey The Cheat! Listen up! Widdlywiddlywill! What did I say? What did I just say? Did I say anything? What about this one: hoo hee haw whadiawah! Did that mean anything? ''{Strong Bad voice-over begins}'' Did I offend you? I hope I didn't offend you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' After being exposed to my control Cheat, subject started acting ''way'' creepier than normal...like, even for Strong Sad.

''{Cut to Marzipan's house, where she is trying to paint with Strong Sad next to her. We see Strong Bad in the foreground making more observations and taking more notes.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Mar-zi-pan, Mar-zi-pan! What do you wanna make? You wanna make some wood-davers with me? I got pine cones! I got peanut butter! I got everything we need! I said pine cones! Pine cones! Gonna be successful! Gonna be phenomenally successful! Sell 'em at the corner store! Sell 'em at the five and dime! Marzipan, you gotta get on the train, get on the wood-davers train! Here goes the wood-davers train! It's takin' off! It's a new century! ''{Marzipan walks away and Strong Bad voice-over begins}'' I can't remember cereal, I can't remember TV. Is it football season yet? I'll run you over in football, run you down the field like a clown!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' The subject's condition continued to deteriorate, and he began making up arts and crafts activities. Like wood-davers.

''{Cut to Strong Bad's basement. Strong Mad is sitting on the couch, and Strong Sad is hanging upside-down from the ceiling.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' GET DOWN.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No!

'''STRONG MAD:''' GET DOWN!

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, no... Parakeet.

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{in disbelief, and very clearly}'' Did you just say "parakeet"?

''{Cut to a field with Strong Sad and Coach Z. Strong Sad alternates bouncing on his left and right legs. Strong Bad is in the background making notes and observations again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' In the final stages, subject became: ''{The following words come up on the screen in Tandy text as Strong Bad says them}'' Erratic, violent, and Really Funny to Watch.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{slapping Coach Z in the face}'' Hey Coach Z! Hey Coach Z! Whaddaya got? Whaddaya got for me? How about that? Wanna play some soccer? ''{while Coach Z is speaking}'' Some hockeyjock? I got whatever it takes! Hey, ya want some salad? Pasta salad? Tuna salad? Fruit salad?

'''COACH Z:''' Woo! Woo! Cut that out! Don't hurt me! I don't wanna die! I'm just an old man— ''{Strong Sad steals Coach Z's hat after it falls to the ground}'' Ooh! Ooh!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ...Salad! Fruit salad! Fruit salad! Fruit salad! ''{Slowing down}'' Salad... ''{powering-down sound}'' ...Salad as a rock? Um... Coach Z, what are we doin' here?

'''COACH Z:''' You was tryin' to jank me!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Feelin' woozy...

''{Strong Sad falls on his back. Coach Z's hat lands on his stomach. Cut to the All-Wide Science Fair auditorium stage, where a picture of Strong Sad on his back is shown on Strong Bad's easel under the caption "Results:".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' At this point, the test subject...was dead. ''{Gasp from the audience}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Offscreen}'' I was not dead!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...Shut up. And all of this data could only bring us to one conclusion: ...Strong Sad's adopted. ''{another gasp from the audience}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Offscreen}'' That's not true either!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down as a close up of Strong Bad's project is shown.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end of the e-mail, click on the various pictures on the right side of Strong Bad's science project board to see some of his car sketches.
:*Top notecard: "Jalopy"
:*Middle [[Sticky Note]]: "[[Weekly Fanstuff 2005#WF-2005-04-21|Shark-mobile, can it work?]]"
:*Bottom Looseleaf: "The Fast"
*Also at the end, you can hold down the left mouse button over the paper in the folder on the left side to see Strong Bad's original project, The Effects of Gasoline on Fire. The left side reads:
<blockquote>about the 
author: 
strong bad 
has at least 
fifteen 
bucks in his 
wallet right 
now. bet 
that's more 
than you, 
poor person.</blockquote>

The right side, which is on fire, reads:

<blockquote>somebody 
should 
probably 
be keeping 
an eye on 
this. </blockquote>

*Finally at the end, move your mouse to the right side of the screen to find an arrow which you can click on to see Homestar Runner's project. It is blank except for the words "AWW MAN. IT MELTED." and a puddle on the table.
:*Click on the puddle and you'll see Homestar explain his project.
::'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' For my project, I opted to use more social studies...a-than science.
::'''CROWD:''' Ah, I see! Impressive! ''{miscellaneous chatter}''

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===

*"Cut of your jib" is an old sailors' phrase, used to describe the expression on one's face, or the appearance of a ship from afar (the shape of the foresail, or "cut of the jib", described a ship's character). [http://www.bibliomania.com/2/3/255/1168/19836/1/frameset.html]
*Strong Bad's "Noble Peacie Prize" refers to the [[Wikipedia:Nobel Foundation|Nobel Foundation's]] [[Wikipedia:Nobel Peace Prize|Peace Prize]].
**Incidentally, he would more qualify for the [[Wikipedia: Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine|Nobel Physiology or Medicine Prize]]
*A [[wikipedia:Five and dime|five and dime]] was a type of store popular in the mid-1900s originally selling items such as candy and small toys.

===Trivia===

*With the exception of the Halloween toons, this is the first time [[Coach Z]] is seen without his hat on.
*Two versions of this were put up on the site. The first, which can be viewed on a mirror [http://www.homestarrunner.kitkorp.com/sbemail91.html here] has Coach Z saying "I'm just a crazy old man!" while being slapped. However, [[HR:sbemail91.html|the version currently on the site]] has him saying "I'm just an old man!" The reason for this change is unknown.
*This is the first instance of [[Hyperactive Strong Sad]].
*The "All-Wide Science Fair" sign is printed on fan-fold paper, possibly from the same printer as [[The Paper]].
*In Strong Bad's Science Project display board, the sheet of paper in the pocket under the words "What's a [[Wood-daver]]?" reads:
<blockquote>Strong Bad's
Science Fair Project
(not "The Effects of
Gasoline on Fire" again)</blockquote>
*The summary on the Podstar Runner RSS feed for this video says "Strong Sad gets caffeinated."

===Remarks===

[[Image:2mss.PNG|thumb|Two-mouthed Strong Sad]]
*Strong Bad says "coming in at number 91" at the beginning of the email. In the email [[flashback]], he says he lost count of his emails somewhere around #51.
*The sound of Strong Sad coming down from his caffeine 'high' is the same sound used in [[gimmicks]] when Strong Bad's Tandy 400 shut down and was about to explode.
*Strong Sad's bulging eye is an upside-down copy of [[Bubs|Bubs]]'s smaller eye.
*Strong Bad says "my control Cheat", a rare use of The Cheat's name without an [[integral article]].
*Strong Sad is moving so erratically, he has two mouths to add to the illusion after Marzipan walks away.
*When looking at Homestar's project, you can find an invisible "back" button by pressing Tab.
*Strong Bad pronounces the emailer's town as "mur-FREES-bo-ro", while the Tennessee city is actually pronounced "MUR-frees-bo-ro".

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad types 'in addition to', the D's overlap the A and each other.

===Inside References===
*"Hockeyjock" is likely a reference to [[personal favorites]].
*Despite Strong Sad's protests, Strong Bad claims that [[Death#Strong Sad|Strong Sad is dead]] (and adopted).

===Real-World References===
*When reading "TN" Strong Bad says "''Tekken''" instead of "Tennessee". ''[[Wikipedia:Tekken|Tekken]]'' is a popular fighting game by [[Wikipedia:Namco|Namco]].
*The "shark-mobile" may be a reference to an old [[Wikipedia:Hot Wheels|Hot Wheels]] car called "The Sharkruiser [http://www.southtexasdiecast.com/hwguide/images/000/32.jpg]."
*Ironically, [[Wikipedia:Sanka|Sanka]] was the world's first brand of ''decaffeinated'' coffee. [http://www.telusplanet.net/public/coffee/history.htm Invented] in 1903, Sanka was first marketed in the United States in 1923.

== DVD Version ==
*All of the Easter eggs are intact, but have been condensed down into two Easter eggs.
**The first DVD Easter egg (found via the hidden Strong Bad Icon to the left of the Project Title) features a peek at what Strong Bad's original project was, closeups of all three of the "cool cars," '''and''' a closeup of the paper in the folder. Plus, the fire from the original project burns a corner off The Paper.
**The second DVD Easter egg (found via the hidden Strong Bad Icon to the right of the Project Title) combines Homestar's Project and his comments on it.

Whether he's a private eye, a crooked cop, a secret agent or a celebrity pharmacist, nobody sticks it to the man like '''Dangeresque''', [[Strong Bad]]'s [[Wikipedia:Shaft (1971 movie)|Shaft]]-esque film persona. This cool dude plays both sides of the law, gets all the ladies, and doesn't pull no punches. He wears cool, [[cool shades|cool glasses]], and works alone, except when he works with [[Renaldo]], which is all the time. He also seems to have to jump a lot—to escape danger, to avoid embarrassment, or just to get out of his office.

==Fun Facts==
*Dangeresque's cool glasses are [[Wikipedia:Aviator sunglasses|aviators]], a type of sunglasses popular in the '70s.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oh, I'm an e-mail gambler... that means I play cards with e-mails. ''{He pulls up the e-mail.}'' Full house.

<blockquote class="email">Dear Strongbad, 
 
What would happen if you poked 
Pom-Pom with a pin? Is that why I 
haven't seen him around in a while? 
 
Kevin 
OH</blockquote>

''{He pronounces "OH" as the word "oh!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh! Kevin. You scared me! I dunno. I guess he would pop or explode depending on whether he's filled with helium or hydrogen. And also depending on if he's on fire at time of poke. This is sounding pretty good. ''{clears screen}'' Poking Pom Pom with a pin while he's on fire! Let's see, how can we raise the stakes a little bit? Ooh! I'll be blindfolded! Truly this will be my greatest feat! ''{He puts on a blindfold with a rayed sun motif.}'' All right. I'm ready to go. ''{Types as "aligrt u.ln reay tui gi"}''

''{He leaves the computer. Cut to a field where Coach Z and Homestar Runner are standing.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Um, I think it was dot-egg or dot-muffin or something.

'''COACH Z''': You sure it wasn't dot-com? ''{pronounced 'kem' due to his accent}'' Or dot-org?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': No, I'm pretty sure it was dot-egg.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{offscreen}'' All right, Hindenburg.

''{He enters, still wearing the blindfold and brandishing a pin and the BMW lighter.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Where you at?

'''COACH Z''': ''{He jumps out of the way.}'' Whoa! Hey there! Careful with those!

'''STRONG BAD''': Pom Pom? Is that you?

''{He begins to poke Homestar in the chin with the pin, which makes a little high-pitched "poink" noise each time.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Yeah, it's me.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{still poking}'' Homestar?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Yeah, it's me. ''{Light pink dots begin to appear on Homestar's face}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Look, I'm trying to find Pom Pom. You know where he is?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I think he's over at Bubs's, filming his documentary.

'''STRONG BAD''': All right, thanks.

''{He stops poking and walks off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{assuming a teenager's breaking voice and slightly swaying}'' Hey, Coach! Check me out! I've got bad zits!

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand, where The Poopsmith is wearing headphones and holding a boom mic over Bubs's head and Pom Pom is filming Bubs at his place behind the counter.}''

'''BUBS''': And that's how I almost died the fifteenth time.

''{Bubs, Pom Pom and The Poopsmith turn to look at Strong Bad as he enters.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': All right, Led Zeppelin! Let's get this settled once and for all!

''{Strong Bad jumps in the direction of the concession stand, but smashes his face against the wall.}''

'''BUBS''': That'll be five dollars! ''{He puts up a sign reading "Face Mashings $5."}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Ugh! ''{He shakes his head.}'' That's cool. I'm cool. Here I go again! Urah!

''{He jumps up and runs toward Pom Pom, who leaps into the air. He runs underneath Pom Pom and skids to a halt next to where he was standing. Pom Pom lands gracefully behind him with an angry expression.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Pom Pom, is that yo—

''{Pom Pom kicks him into the air and 'juggles' him through several strikes-much like a fighting game-, making combo signs appear after his fourth, fifth and sixth strikes. He then finishes him off with a kick, sending him flying. A "1-up" sign appears, along with the ''Super Mario Bros.'' "1-up" noise.}''

'''BUBS''': That'll be ten dollars! ''{He puts up a sign reading "Severe Pummelings $10."}''

''{Cut to the Compy room, where Strong Bad's reply is still on the screen. Strong Bad plummets through the roof, landing on his stool. He removes the blindfold.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Ugh! ''{typing}'' So, since I was blindfolded, I didn't really get a clear view of what happened. But I'm pretty sure I didn't get the everloving snot beat out of me and that Pom Pom exploded in a big fiery ball that was visible from space. Poor guy... I feel kind of sorry for him. I might even miss him a little bit. Well, it had to be done in the name of science. Or, more accurately, because some kid e-mailed me and told me to. ''{said in a childishly angered manner}'' I hope you're happy, Kevin!

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*After The Paper comes down, click on "Poor guy" to see a letter from Strong Bad to [[General and Fraulein Pom Pom|Pom Pom's parents]].
:''{Some sad music starts playing and a sheet of paper appears on the screen. As writing appears, Strong Bad reads it aloud, his voice cracking as he gets sadder.}''
<blockquote>Dear General and Fraulein Pom Pom, 
it is with a heavy heart that i inform you that your 
son recently exploded in a big, fiery ball that was visible 
from space. i would also like to add that in no way did 
he beat any of the everloving snot out of me. 
Sequentially, 
Strong Bad</blockquote>

*After The Paper comes down, click on "e-mailed" to see an email game between Bubs and Strong Bad.
:''{Cut to a top-down view of a green table with some poker chips on it.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, read 'em and weep, boys! Pair of Abdis and a Viklas! ''{He throws cards onto the table, two of which bear a capital A, and one of which shows the Swedish flag.}''
:'''BUBS:''' Oh, man! Alls I got is a lousy MonkeyDude! ''{He throws down a card depicting Monkey D.}''

== Fun Facts ==

===Remarks===
*In the letter to Pom Pom's parents, [[The Brothers Chaps]] did not modify the letter "q" (as they normally do) from how it actually appears in Ahnberg Hand, the [[font]] they usually use for Strong Bad's handwriting.
*After Strong Bad faceplants himself against the wall, the lighter goes out and is not re-lit.
*Strong Bad exposes himself as a less-than-expert typist in this email. After "raising the stakes" and donning a blindfold, he cannot type. An expert touch-typist would have no problem typing in this situation.
*Supposing the denizens of the Isle of Pom use the same linguistic conventions as Germany, Strong Bad's use of ''Fräulein'' to refer to Pom Pom's mother is technically incorrect: instead he should be using ''Frau''. In German the word ''Frau'' ("woman") is used when addressing or referring to married women, like ''Mrs.'' in English, while ''Fräulein'' ("young woman") is used for younger, unmarried women, like ''Miss'' in English. As it is, the letter sounds like it is actually addressed to Pom Pom's father and sister, rather than to both of his parents.
**Additionally, using ''Fräulein'' is considered politically incorrect in Germany these days, and today both married and unmarried women are all addressed as ''Frau''.
*The sizing between Strong Bad and Homestar seems to be distorted in this email. Strong Bad's head is much larger when seen poking Homestar, contrasted to [[long pants]].

===Goofs===
*In the scene where Strong Bad attempts to pop Pom Pom near [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], he is holding the [[BMW Lighter]], but the BMW logo is backwards on it.
*Somewhere between Strong Bad's first and second attempts to poke Pom Pom, the Poopsmith disappears without a trace, for no apparent reason.
*In the letter to Pom Pom's parents, Strong Bad does not properly spell ''Fräulein'' as he omits the [[Wikipedia:Umlaut|umlaut]] over the "a." In the case of "au" diphthongs in German, the absence or presence of an umlaut over the "a" determines its pronunciation between "ow" and "oy" (as spoken by Strong Bad) respectively.
*When Strong Bad is falling back into the Computer Room, there is no reflection of any part of his body on the Compy's screen until he lands. Also note that there are no laces on the back of his head.
* When Pom Pom hits Strong Bad the first time, his BMW lighter flies away but his pin disappears.
*When Strong Bad pokes Homestar Runner on the chin, he ends up with 5 pink marks, but when the camera zooms out he has 8 marks.
* Also, when Strong Bad pokes Homestar, he seems to be poking in the same spot, yet the marks are much more spread out.
*Again when Strong Bad pokes Homestar, he is poked eleven times, when he is shown having five marks and later eight marks.

===Inside References===
*In the poker game, Strong Bad has two Abdis and a [[Swedish Flag|Viklas]] card, references to the e-mails "[[some kinda robot]]" and "[[little questions]]."
*Bubs' "MonkeyDude" card has a picture of [[Monkey D]]. Monkeydude himself came from [[crazy cartoon]].
*The blindfold Strong Bad wears has the same design as Pom Pom's headband in the [[Theme Song Video]]. ''{Also see Real-World References.}''
*The music that accompanies Strong Bad's letter of consolation is from [[2 years]] and [[A Decemberween Pageant]].
*Pom Pom directing a documentary may be a reference to [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], where he dressed as controversial documentarian Michael Moore.
*When Pom Pom kicks Strong Bad getting a 1-up, the way he kicks him is similar to the way Homestar kicks The Cheat in "[[Strongest Man in the World]]".

===Real-World References===
*Pom Pom's Fighting style is similar to Kirby's fighting style in [[Wikipedia:Super Smash Bros. Melee|Super Smash Bros. Melee,]] with combo and smash attacks. [[Image:Pom Pom Attack.PNG|thumb|"That'll be ten dollars!"]]
*When Pom Pom beats up Strong Bad, you can hear sound effects from the [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|''Super Mario Bros.'']] [[Nintendo|NES]] game, as is his scoring a [[Wikipedia:1-up|1-up]] after hitting Strong Bad several times. The [[Wikipedia:Combo (fighting)|"Combo"]] sign is also a reference to the many fighting games that feature them.
*The rayed sun on Strong Bad's blindfold is from the military (especially pre-WWII) version of the [[Wikipedia:Flag of Japan#Military|Japanese flag]]. Its use here may be inspired by the 1984 film [http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0087538/ The Karate Kid], in which Ralph Macchio's character wore a vaguely similar bandana. Or it may simply allude to the Japanese custom of donning a bandana before beginning a difficult or important task. (Or maybe it was just the closest thing to a blindfold [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] had lying around among his props. See Inside References.)
*A [[Wikipedia:Full house (poker)|"full house,"]] as Strong Bad says in the opening song, is a poker hand of three cards of one value and two cards of another (ie, 3 Kings and 2 Tens would constitute a full house).
*The email song is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Kenny Rogers|Kenny Rogers]] song (and movie) [[Wikipedia:The Gambler (music)|The Gambler]].
*[[Wikipedia:Hindenburg disaster|The ''Hindenburg'']] was a German Zeppelin that exploded and burned on May 6, 1937.
**A famous picture of the Hindenburg disaster was used as the cover to Led Zeppelin's [[Wikipedia:Led Zeppelin (album)|first album]].
*[[Wikipedia:Led Zeppelin|Led Zeppelin]] was a '70s British band noted for their innovative, influential approach to heavy blues-rock.

===Fast Forward===
* Strong Bad falls through the roof again in [[keep cool]].
* Pom Pom again shows his martial arts prowess in [[Summer Short Shorts]]
* Homestar references a .[[egg]] domain in [[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]]

===Commentary Transcript===

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

'''MATT:''' All right. No introductions this time, guys. We're just gonna do it.

'''RYAN:''' Let's go!

'''MATT:''' All right.

'''RYAN:''' On the spot. What email are we doing here?

'''MATT:''' Uh, this is pom pom.

'''RYAN:''' All right.

'''MATT:''' And he just sang his little song about being the email gambler.

'''RYAN:''' Ohh, is that, uh—

'''MATT:''' Like ''{simultaneously with Ryan}'' Kenny Rogers Roasters.

'''RYAN:''' I used to have the Kenny Rogers' record of the Gambler soundtrack.

'''MATT:''' Oh, nice.

'''RYAN:''' And I thought, as a child, that if you put it on the record you'd be able to watch the movie.

'''MATT:''' ''{high-pitched}'' What?

'''RYAN:''' I didn't know that the soundtrack was not the movie and—

'''MATT:''' Wow.

'''RYAN:''' I was—

'''MATT:''' How did you think— Where did you think the movie was gonna appear?

'''RYAN:''' ''{embarrassed}'' I don't know. I was just a visionary waiting for laserdisc.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I guess so.

'''RYAN:''' Anyway. I met Kenny Rogers at a sushi place once.

'''MATT:''' Did you? Where at?

'''MIKE:''' He wasn't eating at his own chicken venue?

'''RYAN:''' No. He and his whole family were there so we got him some sake and he came over and met us.

'''MATT:''' Speaking of sake, Strong Bad is wearing a Japanese headband with the rising sun.

''{Matt and Ryan laugh}''

'''RYAN:''' What?

'''MATT:''' I think it was karma.

'''RYAN:''' Karma D?

'''MATT:''' Um—

'''RYAN:''' Oh.

'''MATT:''' What do you think those guys were talking about just then? Dot com or dot egg? Dot Muffin?

'''RYAN:''' My favorite movement, er my favorite moment, you know, where you're always picking up the characters in some like, nonsensical—

'''MATT:''' Right.

'''RYAN:''' —conversation is when, when he goes, "And you ''stay'' over there."

'''MATT:''' That's right. I think we were discussing on this commentary for that one who exactly he's talking to.

'''RYAN:''' I like The Poopsmith holding the—

'''MATT:''' I would like...we should make that documentary someday.

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Or, just like show that whole documentary about Bubs I guess?

'''RYAN:''' ''{laughs}'' He's cool.

'''MATT:''' I did some extra special animation on the little backstraps of his headband there. I don't remember—

'''RYAN:''' Yeah, Mike probably—

'''MATT:''' This part was really fun to animate.

'''RYAN:''' I like the noises. Angry Pom Pom face rules, too.

'''MATT:''' Oh. He came right through the ceiling.

'''RYAN:''' That made the hole that, um, that three-foot hole or whatever?

'''MATT:''' Oh, well that was in the ceiling, though.

'''RYAN:''' Now I'm confused—

'''MATT:''' He came through the ceiling.

'''RYAN:''' Oh yeah.

'''MATT:''' He didn't shoot up through the floor.

'''RYAN:''' See, there's a lot of holes—

'''MATT:''' There's a lot of holes in Strong Bad's—

'''RYAN:''' Serious falling hazard.

'''MATT:''' It's an old, rotted-up house. Just with my nice carpet on top of it.

'''RYAN:''' So, Pom Pom fighting game coming soon?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, exactly. It makes me wanna play a side-scrolling Pom Pom street fighter—

'''RYAN:''' Pom Fighter. Double—

'''MATT:''' Pom Freaks.

'''RYAN:''' Get it? Double Pom?

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oh, I'm an e-mail gambler... that means I play cards with e-mails. ''{He pulls up the e-mail.}'' Full house.

<blockquote class="email">Dear Strongbad, 
 
What would happen if you poked 
Pom-Pom with a pin? Is that why I 
haven't seen him around in a while? 
 
Kevin 
OH</blockquote>

''{He pronounces "OH" as the word "oh!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh! Kevin. You scared me! I dunno. I guess he would pop or explode depending on whether he's filled with helium or hydrogen. And also depending on if he's on fire at time of poke. This is sounding pretty good. ''{clears screen}'' Poking Pom Pom with a pin while he's on fire! Let's see, how can we raise the stakes a little bit? Ooh! I'll be blindfolded! Truly this will be my greatest feat! ''{He puts on a blindfold with a rayed sun motif.}'' All right. I'm ready to go. ''{Types as "aligrt u.ln reay tui gi"}''

''{He leaves the computer. Cut to a field where Coach Z and Homestar Runner are standing.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Um, I think it was dot-egg or dot-muffin or something.

'''COACH Z''': You sure it wasn't dot-com? ''{pronounced 'kem' due to his accent}'' Or dot-org?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': No, I'm pretty sure it was dot-egg.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{offscreen}'' All right, Hindenburg.

''{He enters, still wearing the blindfold and brandishing a pin and the BMW lighter.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Where you at?

'''COACH Z''': ''{He jumps out of the way.}'' Whoa! Hey there! Careful with those!

'''STRONG BAD''': Pom Pom? Is that you?

''{He begins to poke Homestar in the chin with the pin, which makes a little high-pitched "poink" noise each time.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Yeah, it's me.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{still poking}'' Homestar?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Yeah, it's me. ''{Light pink dots begin to appear on Homestar's face}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Look, I'm trying to find Pom Pom. You know where he is?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I think he's over at Bubs's, filming his documentary.

'''STRONG BAD''': All right, thanks.

''{He stops poking and walks off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{assuming a teenager's breaking voice and slightly swaying}'' Hey, Coach! Check me out! I've got bad zits!

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand, where The Poopsmith is wearing headphones and holding a boom mic over Bubs's head and Pom Pom is filming Bubs at his place behind the counter.}''

'''BUBS''': And that's how I almost died the fifteenth time.

''{Bubs, Pom Pom and The Poopsmith turn to look at Strong Bad as he enters.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': All right, Led Zeppelin! Let's get this settled once and for all!

''{Strong Bad jumps in the direction of the concession stand, but smashes his face against the wall.}''

'''BUBS''': That'll be five dollars! ''{He puts up a sign reading "Face Mashings $5."}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Ugh! ''{He shakes his head.}'' That's cool. I'm cool. Here I go again! Urah!

''{He jumps up and runs toward Pom Pom, who leaps into the air. He runs underneath Pom Pom and skids to a halt next to where he was standing. Pom Pom lands gracefully behind him with an angry expression.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Pom Pom, is that yo—

''{Pom Pom kicks him into the air and 'juggles' him through several strikes-much like a fighting game-, making combo signs appear after his fourth, fifth and sixth strikes. He then finishes him off with a kick, sending him flying. A "1-up" sign appears, along with the ''Super Mario Bros.'' "1-up" noise.}''

'''BUBS''': That'll be ten dollars! ''{He puts up a sign reading "Severe Pummelings $10."}''

''{Cut to the Compy room, where Strong Bad's reply is still on the screen. Strong Bad plummets through the roof, landing on his stool. He removes the blindfold.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Ugh! ''{typing}'' So, since I was blindfolded, I didn't really get a clear view of what happened. But I'm pretty sure I didn't get the everloving snot beat out of me and that Pom Pom exploded in a big fiery ball that was visible from space. Poor guy... I feel kind of sorry for him. I might even miss him a little bit. Well, it had to be done in the name of science. Or, more accurately, because some kid e-mailed me and told me to. ''{said in a childishly angered manner}'' I hope you're happy, Kevin!

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*After The Paper comes down, click on "Poor guy" to see a letter from Strong Bad to [[General and Fraulein Pom Pom|Pom Pom's parents]].
:''{Some sad music starts playing and a sheet of paper appears on the screen. As writing appears, Strong Bad reads it aloud, his voice cracking as he gets sadder.}''
<blockquote>Dear General and Fraulein Pom Pom, 
it is with a heavy heart that i inform you that your 
son recently exploded in a big, fiery ball that was visible 
from space. i would also like to add that in no way did 
he beat any of the everloving snot out of me. 
Sequentially, 
Strong Bad</blockquote>

*After The Paper comes down, click on "e-mailed" to see an email game between Bubs and Strong Bad.
:''{Cut to a top-down view of a green table with some poker chips on it.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, read 'em and weep, boys! Pair of Abdis and a Viklas! ''{He throws cards onto the table, two of which bear a capital A, and one of which shows the Swedish flag.}''
:'''BUBS:''' Oh, man! Alls I got is a lousy MonkeyDude! ''{He throws down a card depicting Monkey D.}''

== Fun Facts ==

===Remarks===
*In the letter to Pom Pom's parents, [[The Brothers Chaps]] did not modify the letter "q" (as they normally do) from how it actually appears in Ahnberg Hand, the [[font]] they usually use for Strong Bad's handwriting.
*After Strong Bad faceplants himself against the wall, the lighter goes out and is not re-lit.
*Strong Bad exposes himself as a less-than-expert typist in this email. After "raising the stakes" and donning a blindfold, he cannot type. An expert touch-typist would have no problem typing in this situation.
*Supposing the denizens of the Isle of Pom use the same linguistic conventions as Germany, Strong Bad's use of ''Fräulein'' to refer to Pom Pom's mother is technically incorrect: instead he should be using ''Frau''. In German the word ''Frau'' ("woman") is used when addressing or referring to married women, like ''Mrs.'' in English, while ''Fräulein'' ("young woman") is used for younger, unmarried women, like ''Miss'' in English. As it is, the letter sounds like it is actually addressed to Pom Pom's father and sister, rather than to both of his parents.
**Additionally, using ''Fräulein'' is considered politically incorrect in Germany these days, and today both married and unmarried women are all addressed as ''Frau''.
*The sizing between Strong Bad and Homestar seems to be distorted in this email. Strong Bad's head is much larger when seen poking Homestar, contrasted to [[long pants]].

===Goofs===
*In the scene where Strong Bad attempts to pop Pom Pom near [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], he is holding the [[BMW Lighter]], but the BMW logo is backwards on it.
*Somewhere between Strong Bad's first and second attempts to poke Pom Pom, the Poopsmith disappears without a trace, for no apparent reason.
*In the letter to Pom Pom's parents, Strong Bad does not properly spell ''Fräulein'' as he omits the [[Wikipedia:Umlaut|umlaut]] over the "a." In the case of "au" diphthongs in German, the absence or presence of an umlaut over the "a" determines its pronunciation between "ow" and "oy" (as spoken by Strong Bad) respectively.
*When Strong Bad is falling back into the Computer Room, there is no reflection of any part of his body on the Compy's screen until he lands. Also note that there are no laces on the back of his head.
* When Pom Pom hits Strong Bad the first time, his BMW lighter flies away but his pin disappears.
*When Strong Bad pokes Homestar Runner on the chin, he ends up with 5 pink marks, but when the camera zooms out he has 8 marks.
* Also, when Strong Bad pokes Homestar, he seems to be poking in the same spot, yet the marks are much more spread out.
*Again when Strong Bad pokes Homestar, he is poked eleven times, when he is shown having five marks and later eight marks.

===Inside References===
*In the poker game, Strong Bad has two Abdis and a [[Swedish Flag|Viklas]] card, references to the e-mails "[[some kinda robot]]" and "[[little questions]]."
*Bubs' "MonkeyDude" card has a picture of [[Monkey D]]. Monkeydude himself came from [[crazy cartoon]].
*The blindfold Strong Bad wears has the same design as Pom Pom's headband in the [[Theme Song Video]]. ''{Also see Real-World References.}''
*The music that accompanies Strong Bad's letter of consolation is from [[2 years]] and [[A Decemberween Pageant]].
*Pom Pom directing a documentary may be a reference to [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], where he dressed as controversial documentarian Michael Moore.
*When Pom Pom kicks Strong Bad getting a 1-up, the way he kicks him is similar to the way Homestar kicks The Cheat in Strongest Man in the World.

===Real-World References===
*Pom Pom's Fighting style is similar to Kirby's fighting style in [[Wikipedia:Super Smash Bros. Melee|Super Smash Bros. Melee,]] with combo and smash attacks. [[Image:Pom Pom Attack.PNG|thumb|"That'll be ten dollars!"]]
*When Pom Pom beats up Strong Bad, you can hear sound effects from the [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|''Super Mario Bros.'']] [[Nintendo|NES]] game, as is his scoring a [[Wikipedia:1-up|1-up]] after hitting Strong Bad several times. The [[Wikipedia:Combo (fighting)|"Combo"]] sign is also a reference to the many fighting games that feature them.
*The rayed sun on Strong Bad's blindfold is from the military (especially pre-WWII) version of the [[Wikipedia:Flag of Japan#Military|Japanese flag]]. Its use here may be inspired by the 1984 film [http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0087538/ The Karate Kid], in which Ralph Macchio's character wore a vaguely similar bandana. Or it may simply allude to the Japanese custom of donning a bandana before beginning a difficult or important task. (Or maybe it was just the closest thing to a blindfold [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] had lying around among his props. See Inside References.)
*A [[Wikipedia:Full house (poker)|"full house,"]] as Strong Bad says in the opening song, is a poker hand of three cards of one value and two cards of another (ie, 3 Kings and 2 Tens would constitute a full house).
*The email song is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Kenny Rogers|Kenny Rogers]] song (and movie) [[Wikipedia:The Gambler (music)|The Gambler]].
*[[Wikipedia:Hindenburg disaster|The ''Hindenburg'']] was a German Zeppelin that exploded and burned on May 6, 1937.
**A famous picture of the Hindenburg disaster was used as the cover to Led Zeppelin's [[Wikipedia:Led Zeppelin (album)|first album]].
*[[Wikipedia:Led Zeppelin|Led Zeppelin]] was a '70s British band noted for their innovative, influential approach to heavy blues-rock.

===Commentary Transcript===

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

'''MATT:''' All right. No introductions this time, guys. We're just gonna do it.

'''RYAN:''' Let's go!

'''MATT:''' All right.

'''RYAN:''' On the spot. What email are we doing here?

'''MATT:''' Uh, this is pom pom.

'''RYAN:''' All right.

'''MATT:''' And he just sang his little song about being the email gambler.

'''RYAN:''' Ohh, is that, uh—

'''MATT:''' Like ''{simultaneously with Ryan}'' Kenny Rogers Roasters.

'''RYAN:''' I used to have the Kenny Rogers' record of the Gambler soundtrack.

'''MATT:''' Oh, nice.

'''RYAN:''' And I thought, as a child, that if you put it on the record you'd be able to watch the movie.

'''MATT:''' ''{high-pitched}'' What?

'''RYAN:''' I didn't know that the soundtrack was not the movie and—

'''MATT:''' Wow.

'''RYAN:''' I was—

'''MATT:''' How did you think— Where did you think the movie was gonna appear?

'''RYAN:''' ''{embarrassed}'' I don't know. I was just a visionary waiting for laserdisc.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I guess so.

'''RYAN:''' Anyway. I met Kenny Rogers at a sushi place once.

'''MATT:''' Did you? Where at?

'''MIKE:''' He wasn't eating at his own chicken venue?

'''RYAN:''' No. He and his whole family were there so we got him some sake and he came over and met us.

'''MATT:''' Speaking of sake, Strong Bad is wearing a Japanese headband with the rising sun.

''{Matt and Ryan laugh}''

'''RYAN:''' What?

'''MATT:''' I think it was karma.

'''RYAN:''' Karma D?

'''MATT:''' Um—

'''RYAN:''' Oh.

'''MATT:''' What do you think those guys were talking about just then? Dot com or dot egg? Dot Muffin?

'''RYAN:''' My favorite movement, er my favorite moment, you know, where you're always picking up the characters in some like, nonsensical—

'''MATT:''' Right.

'''RYAN:''' —conversation is when, when he goes, "And you ''stay'' over there."

'''MATT:''' That's right. I think we were discussing on this commentary for that one who exactly he's talking to.

'''RYAN:''' I like The Poopsmith holding the—

'''MATT:''' I would like...we should make that documentary someday.

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Or, just like show that whole documentary about Bubs I guess?

'''RYAN:''' ''{laughs}'' He's cool.

'''MATT:''' I did some extra special animation on the little backstraps of his headband there. I don't remember—

'''RYAN:''' Yeah, Mike probably—

'''MATT:''' This part was really fun to animate.

'''RYAN:''' I like the noises. Angry Pom Pom face rules, too.

'''MATT:''' Oh. He came right through the ceiling.

'''RYAN:''' That made the hole that, um, that three-foot hole or whatever?

'''MATT:''' Oh, well that was in the ceiling, though.

'''RYAN:''' Now I'm confused—

'''MATT:''' He came through the ceiling.

'''RYAN:''' Oh yeah.

'''MATT:''' He didn't shoot up through the floor.

'''RYAN:''' See, there's a lot of holes—

'''MATT:''' There's a lot of holes in Strong Bad's—

'''RYAN:''' Serious falling hazard.

'''MATT:''' It's an old, rotted-up house. Just with my nice carpet on top of it.

'''RYAN:''' So, Pom Pom fighting game coming soon?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, exactly. It makes me wanna play a side-scrolling Pom Pom street fighter—

'''RYAN:''' Pom Fighter. Double—

'''MATT:''' Pom Freaks.

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

'''MATT:''' All right. No introductions this time, guys. We're just gonna do it.

'''RYAN:''' Let's go!

'''MATT:''' All right.

'''RYAN:''' On the spot. What email are we doing here?

'''MATT:''' Uh, this is pom pom.

'''RYAN:''' All right.

'''MATT:''' And he just sang his little song about being the email gambler.

'''RYAN:''' Ohh, is that, uh—

'''MATT:''' Like ''{simultaneously with Ryan}'' Kenny Rogers Roasters.

'''RYAN:''' I used to have the Kenny Rogers' record of the Gambler soundtrack.

'''MATT:''' Oh, nice.

'''RYAN:''' And I thought, as a child, that if you put it on the record you'd be able to watch the movie.

'''MATT:''' ''{high-pitched}'' What?

'''RYAN:''' I didn't know that the soundtrack was not the movie and—

'''MATT:''' Wow.

'''RYAN:''' I was—

'''MATT:''' How did you think— Where did you think the movie was gonna appear?

'''RYAN:''' ''{embarrassed}'' I don't know. I was just a visionary waiting for laserdisc.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I guess so.

'''RYAN:''' Anyway. I met Kenny Rogers at a sushi place once.

'''MATT:''' Did you? Where at?

'''MIKE:''' He wasn't eating at his own chicken venue?

'''RYAN:''' No. He and his whole family were there so we got him some sake and he came over and met us.

'''MATT:''' Speaking of sake, Strong Bad is wearing a Japanese headband with the rising sun.

''{Matt and Ryan laugh}''

'''RYAN:''' What?

'''MATT:''' I think it was karma.

'''RYAN:''' Karma D?

'''MATT:''' Um—

'''RYAN:''' Oh.

'''MATT:''' What do you think those guys were talking about just then? Dot com or dot egg? Dot Muffin?

'''RYAN:''' My favorite movement, er my favorite moment, you know, where you're always picking up the characters in some like, nonsensical—

'''MATT:''' Right.

'''RYAN:''' —conversation is when, when he goes, "And you ''stay'' over there."

'''MATT:''' That's right. I think we were discussing on this commentary for that one who exactly he's talking to.

'''RYAN:''' I like The Poopsmith holding the—

'''MATT:''' I would like...we should make that documentary someday.

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Or, just like show that whole documentary about Bubs I guess?

'''RYAN:''' ''{laughs}'' He's cool.

'''MATT:''' I did some extra special animation on the little backstraps of his headband there. I don't remember—

'''RYAN:''' Yeah, Mike probably—

'''MATT:''' This part was really fun to animate.

'''RYAN:''' I like the noises. Angry Pom Pom face rules, too.

'''MATT:''' Oh. He came right through the ceiling.

'''RYAN:''' That made the hole that, um, that three-foot hole or whatever?

'''MATT:''' Oh, well that was in the ceiling, though.

'''RYAN:''' Now I'm confused—

'''MATT:''' He came through the ceiling.

'''RYAN:''' Oh yeah.

'''MATT:''' He didn't shoot up through the floor.

'''RYAN:''' See, there's a lot of holes—

'''MATT:''' There's a lot of holes in Strong Bad's—

'''RYAN:''' Serious falling hazard.

'''MATT:''' It's an old, rotted-up house. Just with my nice carpet on top of it.

'''RYAN:''' So, Pom Pom fighting game coming soon?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, exactly. It makes me wanna play a side-scrolling Pom Pom street fighter—

'''RYAN:''' Pom Fighter. Double—

'''MATT:''' Pom Freaks.

'''RYAN:''' Get it? Double Pom?

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oh, I'm an e-mail gambler... that means I play cards with e-mails. ''{He pulls up the e-mail.}'' Full house.

<blockquote class="email">Dear Strongbad, 
 
What would happen if you poked 
Pom-Pom with a pin? Is that why I 
haven't seen him around in a while? 
 
Kevin 
OH</blockquote>

''{He pronounces "OH" as the word "oh!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh! Kevin. You scared me! I dunno. I guess he would pop or explode depending on whether he's filled with helium or hydrogen. And also depending on if he's on fire at time of poke. This is sounding pretty good. ''{clears screen}'' Poking Pom Pom with a pin while he's on fire! Let's see, how can we raise the stakes a little bit? Ooh! I'll be blindfolded! Truly this will be my greatest feat! ''{He puts on a blindfold with a rayed sun motif.}'' All right. I'm ready to go. ''{Types as "aligrt u.ln reay tui gi"}''

''{He leaves the computer. Cut to a field where Coach Z and Homestar Runner are standing.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Um, I think it was dot-egg or dot-muffin or something.

'''COACH Z''': You sure it wasn't dot-com? ''{pronounced 'kem' due to his accent}'' Or dot-org?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': No, I'm pretty sure it was dot-egg.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{offscreen}'' All right, Hindenburg.

''{He enters, still wearing the blindfold and brandishing a pin and the BMW lighter.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Where you at?

'''COACH Z''': ''{He jumps out of the way.}'' Whoa! Hey there! Careful with those!

'''STRONG BAD''': Pom Pom? Is that you?

''{He begins to poke Homestar in the chin with the pin, which makes a little high-pitched "poink" noise each time.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Yeah, it's me.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{still poking}'' Homestar?!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Yeah, it's me. ''{Light pink dots begin to appear on Homestar's face}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Look, I'm trying to find Pom Pom. You know where he is?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': I think he's over at Bubs's, filming his documentary.

'''STRONG BAD''': All right, thanks.

''{He stops poking and walks off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{assuming a teenager's breaking voice and slightly swaying}'' Hey, Coach! Check me out! I've got bad zits!

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand, where The Poopsmith is wearing headphones and holding a boom mic over Bubs's head and Pom Pom is filming Bubs at his place behind the counter.}''

'''BUBS''': And that's how I almost died the fifteenth time.

''{Bubs, Pom Pom and The Poopsmith turn to look at Strong Bad as he enters.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': All right, Led Zeppelin! Let's get this settled once and for all!

''{Strong Bad jumps in the direction of the concession stand, but smashes his face against the wall.}''

'''BUBS''': That'll be five dollars! ''{He puts up a sign reading "Face Mashings $5."}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Ugh! ''{He shakes his head.}'' That's cool. I'm cool. Here I go again! Urah!

''{He jumps up and runs toward Pom Pom, who leaps into the air. He runs underneath Pom Pom and skids to a halt next to where he was standing. Pom Pom lands gracefully behind him with an angry expression.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Pom Pom, is that yo—

''{Pom Pom kicks him into the air and 'juggles' him through several strikes-much like a fighting game-, making combo signs appear after his fourth, fifth and sixth strikes. He then finishes him off with a kick, sending him flying. A "1-up" sign appears, along with the ''Super Mario Bros.'' "1-up" noise.}''

'''BUBS''': That'll be ten dollars! ''{He puts up a sign reading "Severe Pummelings $10."}''

''{Cut to the Compy room, where Strong Bad's reply is still on the screen. Strong Bad plummets through the roof, landing on his stool. He removes the blindfold.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Ugh! ''{typing}'' So, since I was blindfolded, I didn't really get a clear view of what happened. But I'm pretty sure I didn't get the everloving snot beat out of me and that Pom Pom exploded in a big fiery ball that was visible from space. Poor guy... I feel kind of sorry for him. I might even miss him a little bit. Well, it had to be done in the name of science. Or, more accurately, because some kid e-mailed me and told me to. ''{said in a childishly angered manner}'' I hope you're happy, Kevin!

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*After The Paper comes down, click on "Poor guy" to see a letter from Strong Bad to [[General and Fraulein Pom Pom|Pom Pom's parents]].
:''{Some sad music starts playing and a sheet of paper appears on the screen. As writing appears, Strong Bad reads it aloud, his voice cracking as he gets sadder.}''
<blockquote>Dear General and Fraulein Pom Pom, 
it is with a heavy heart that i inform you that your 
son recently exploded in a big, fiery ball that was visible 
from space. i would also like to add that in no way did 
he beat any of the everloving snot out of me. 
Sequentially, 
Strong Bad</blockquote>

*After The Paper comes down, click on "e-mailed" to see an email game between Bubs and Strong Bad.
:''{Cut to a top-down view of a green table with some poker chips on it.}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, read 'em and weep, boys! Pair of Abdis and a Viklas! ''{He throws cards onto the table, two of which bear a capital A, and one of which shows the Swedish flag.}''
:'''BUBS:''' Oh, man! Alls I got is a lousy MonkeyDude! ''{He throws down a card depicting Monkey D.}''

== Fun Facts ==

===Remarks===
*In the letter to Pom Pom's parents, [[The Brothers Chaps]] did not modify the letter "q" (as they normally do) from how it actually appears in Ahnberg Hand, the [[font]] they usually use for Strong Bad's handwriting.
*After Strong Bad faceplants himself against the wall, the lighter goes out and is not re-lit.
*Strong Bad exposes himself as a less-than-expert typist in this email. After "raising the stakes" and donning a blindfold, he cannot type. An expert touch-typist would have no problem typing in this situation.
*Supposing the denizens of the Isle of Pom use the same linguistic conventions as Germany, Strong Bad's use of ''Fräulein'' to refer to Pom Pom's mother is technically incorrect: instead he should be using ''Frau''. In German the word ''Frau'' ("woman") is used when addressing or referring to married women, like ''Mrs.'' in English, while ''Fräulein'' ("young woman") is used for younger, unmarried women, like ''Miss'' in English. As it is, the letter sounds like it is actually addressed to Pom Pom's father and sister, rather than to both of his parents.
**Additionally, using ''Fräulein'' is considered politically incorrect in Germany these days, and today both married and unmarried women are all addressed as ''Frau''.
*The sizing between Strong Bad and Homestar seems to be distorted in this email. Strong Bad's head is much larger when seen poking Homestar, contrasted to [[long pants]].

===Goofs===
*In the scene where Strong Bad attempts to pop Pom Pom near [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], he is holding the [[BMW Lighter]], but the BMW logo is backwards on it.
*Somewhere between Strong Bad's first and second attempts to poke Pom Pom, the Poopsmith disappears without a trace, for no apparent reason.
*In the letter to Pom Pom's parents, Strong Bad does not properly spell ''Fräulein'' as he omits the [[Wikipedia:Umlaut|umlaut]] over the "a." In the case of "au" diphthongs in German, the absence or presence of an umlaut over the "a" determines its pronunciation between "ow" and "oy" (as spoken by Strong Bad) respectively.
*When Strong Bad is falling back into the Computer Room, there is no reflection of any part of his body on the Compy's screen until he lands. Also note that there are no laces on the back of his head.
* When Pom Pom hits Strong Bad the first time, his BMW lighter flies away but his pin disappears.
*When Strong Bad pokes Homestar Runner on the chin, he ends up with 5 pink marks, but when the camera zooms out he has 8 marks.
* Also, when Strong Bad pokes Homestar, he seems to be poking in the same spot, yet the marks are much more spread out.
*Again when Strong Bad pokes Homestar, he is poked eleven times, when he is shown having five marks and later eight marks.

===Inside References===
*In the poker game, Strong Bad has two Abdis and a [[Swedish Flag|Viklas]] card, references to the e-mails "[[some kinda robot]]" and "[[little questions]]."
*Bubs's "MonkeyDude" card has a picture of [[Monkey D]]. Monkeydude himself came from [[crazy cartoon]].
*The blindfold Strong Bad wears has the same design as Pom Pom's headband in the [[Theme Song Video]]. ''{Also see Real-World References.}''
*The music that accompanies Strong Bad's letter of consolation is from [[2 years]] and [[A Decemberween Pageant]].
*Pom Pom directing a documentary may be a reference to [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], where he dressed as controversial documentarian Michael Moore.
*Bubs is shown trying to scam Strong Bad and Pom Pom by charging to do things that have no connection with him or Bubs Concession Stand

*Supposing the denizens of the Isle of Pom use the same linguistic conventions as Germany, Strong Bad's use of ''Fräulein'' to refer to Pom Pom's mother is technically incorrect: instead he should be using ''Frau''. In German the word ''Frau'' ("woman") is used when addressing or referring to married women, like ''Mrs.'' in English, while ''Fräulein'' ("young woman") is used for younger, unmarried women, like ''Miss'' in English. As it is, the letter sounds like it is actually addressed to Pom Pom's father and sister, rather than to both of his parents.
**Additionally, using ''Fräulein'' is considered politically incorrect in Germany these days, and today both married and unmarried women are all addressed as ''Frau''.
*The sizing between Strong Bad and Homestar seems to be distorted in this email. Strong Bad's head is much larger when seen poking Homestar, contrasted to [[long pants]].

===Goofs===
*In the scene where Strong Bad attempts to pop Pom Pom near [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], he is holding the [[BMW Lighter]], but the BMW logo is backwards on it.
*Somewhere between Strong Bad's first and second attempts to poke Pom Pom, the Poopsmith disappears without a trace, for no apparent reason.
*In the letter to Pom Pom's parents, Strong Bad does not properly spell ''Fräulein'' as he omits the [[Wikipedia:Umlaut|umlaut]] over the "a." In the case of "au" diphthongs in German, the absence or presence of an umlaut over the "a" determines its pronunciation between "ow" and "oy" (as spoken by Strong Bad) respectively.
*When Strong Bad is falling back into the Computer Room, there is no reflection of any part of his body on the Compy's screen until he lands. Also note that there are no laces on the back of his head.
* When Pom Pom hits Strong Bad the first time, his BMW lighter flies away but his pin disappears.
*When Strong Bad pokes Homestar Runner on the chin, he ends up with 5 pink marks, but when the camera zooms out he has 8 marks.
* Also, when Strong Bad pokes Homestar, he seems to be poking in the same spot, yet the marks are much more spread out.
*Again when Strong Bad pokes Homestar, he is poked eleven times, when he is shown having five marks and later eight marks.

===Inside References===
*In the poker game, Strong Bad has two Abdis and a [[Swedish Flag|Viklas]] card, references to the e-mails "[[some kinda robot]]" and "[[little questions]]."
*Bubs's "MonkeyDude" card has a picture of [[Monkey D]]. Monkeydude himself came from [[crazy cartoon]].
*The blindfold Strong Bad wears has the same design as Pom Pom's headband in the [[Theme Song Video]]. ''{Also see Real-World References.}''
*The music that accompanies Strong Bad's letter of consolation is from [[2 years]] and [[A Decemberween Pageant]].
*Pom Pom directing a documentary may be a reference to [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], where he dressed as controversial documentarian Michael Moore.

*The rayed sun on Strong Bad's blindfold is from the military (especially pre-WWII) version of the [[Wikipedia:Flag of Japan#Military|Japanese flag]]. Its use here may be inspired by the 1984 film [http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0087538/ The Karate Kid], in which Ralph Macchio's character wore a vaguely similar bandana. Or it may simply allude to the Japanese custom of donning a bandana before beginning a difficult or important task.

'''RYAN:''' I used to have the Kenny Rogers' record of the Gambler soundtrack.

'''MATT:''' ''{high-pitched}'' What?

'''RYAN:''' I didn't know that the soundtrack was not the movie and—

'''MATT:''' Wow.

'''RYAN:''' I was—

'''MATT:''' How did you think— Where did you think the movie was gonna appear?

'''RYAN:''' ''{embarrassed}'' I don't know. I was just a visionary waiting for laserdisc.

'''RYAN:''' Anyway. I met Kenny Rogers at a sushi place once.

'''MATT:''' Did you? Where at?

'''MIKE:''' He wasn't eating at his own chicken venue?

'''RYAN:''' No. He and his whole family were there so we got him some sake and he came over and met us.

'''MATT:''' I think it was karma.

'''RYAN:''' Karma D?

'''MATT:''' Um—

'''RYAN:''' Oh.

'''MATT:''' What do you think those guys were talking about just then? Dot com or dot egg? Dot Muffin?

'''RYAN:''' My favorite movement, er my favorite moment, you know, where you're always picking up the characters in some like, nonsensical—

'''MATT:''' Right.

'''RYAN:''' —conversation is when, when he goes, "And you ''stay'' over there."

'''MATT:''' That's right. I think we were discussing on this commentary for that one who exactly he's talking to.

'''MATT:''' I would like...we should make that documentary someday.

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Or, just like show that whole documentary about Bubs I guess?

'''RYAN:''' ''{laughs}'' He's cool.

'''MATT:''' I did some extra special animation on the little backstraps of his headband there. I don't remember—

'''RYAN:''' Yeah, Mike probably—

'''MATT:''' This part was really fun to animate.

'''RYAN:''' I like the noises. Angry Pom Pom face rules, too.

'''MATT:''' Oh. He came right through the ceiling.

'''RYAN:''' That made the hole that, um, that three-foot hole or whatever?

'''MATT:''' Oh, well that was in the ceiling, though.

'''RYAN:''' Now I'm confused—

'''MATT:''' He came through the ceiling.

'''RYAN:''' Oh yeah.

'''MATT:''' He didn't shoot up through the floor.

'''RYAN:''' See, there's a lot of holes—

'''MATT:''' There's a lot of holes in Strong Bad's—

'''RYAN:''' Serious falling hazard.

'''MATT:''' It's an old, rotted-up house. Just with my nice carpet on top of it.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, exactly. It makes me wanna play a side-scrolling Pom Pom street fighter—
