'''How I Found the Website'''

I was still in elementary school when I was introduced to Homestar Runner. My brother showed it to me out of the blue one day. I remember wondering, "What the crap is this?" as he typed in the URL.

'''Favorite Cartoons'''

*[[3 Times Halloween Funjob]]- This was the first HR cartoon I saw.

*[[japanese cartoon]]- I like this email because it was the birth of [[Stinkoman]]. (My friend James was the one who sent it!)

*[[animal]]- This was cool because it was the birth of [[Sterrance]], and the first appearance of the Lappy.

*[[candy product]]- A [[SBLOUNSKCHED!]] bar does not seem that appealing, but the email was very funny.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Strong Bad Email! Makes money! Strong Bad Email! Gets paid!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Just wondering...</div>
Dear Strongbad, 
What would you do different, if you could do it all over 
again? 
 
Crapfully yours, 
Richie Z 
Can-A-Duh
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "Totally not gettin' old" in place of "Crapfully yours," and says each syllable of "Can-A-Duh" separately with a pause between each}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Wait, you're not related to Coach Z, are you, Richie? Or Coach Zed as you Canucks ''{pronounced Ca-nooks}'' call him. Whoa. Coach Zed. That's way cooler. I'm gonna start calling him that too and maybe he won't suck so bad! Thanks, Richie! Your pal, SB ''{says as "Sed Bed", clears screen}'' Alright, what would I do different? Well, while I've never actually made a mistake, there have been a few, let's call 'em "stnanks," that could be worthy of a do-over. It's no secret that one of my biggest stnanks was involving Ali and Ali's sister. If I had to do that over again, there's no way I'd mess it up. Here's just what I'd do:

''{The "channel change" transition occurs as we cut to Strong Bad at the broken Tandy 400, and the first email from [[sisters]] is onscreen.}''
<blockquote class="tandy email">Strong Bad, 
My sister and me think you are so cool. 
Do you have a girlfriend? There is two of us. 
Yours, 
Ali</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh! There's two of them!

''{He places a candle next to the computer, clears the screen, and starts typing to romantic music.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, Ali. There's ONE of me, and I'd like to cordially invite myself over to your place tonight for dinner and afterdinner mints. After afterdinner mints, you and your sister, Ali Jr. I'll call her, can fight to the death over me. Wait. ''{music stops}'' No. Hold on. No, no dying. ''{He only types one "no."}'' Um, ''{music restarts}'' we should have an egg drop soup eating contest. ''{music comes to a scratching halt and he stammers}'' Hang on. I can't remember what happens next. ''{stops typing}'' The Cheat!

''{Homestar Runner shuffles up on his knees. He's covered in yellow body paint and dressed in a yellow shirt, with The Cheat-esque spots. Attached to his head is a black tuft of hair to make him look like The Cheat.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wibble wee woo woo!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, ''this'' is hilarious. Homestar, where's The Cheat?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Squeakicoo! I'm The Cheat!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, really. Then what—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{stands up}'' Surprise! Strong Bad, it's me! Homestar Runner! ''From school!''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh! I need The Cheat!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, okay. ''{gets down on his knees again}'' Meh.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's not what I meant. Uh, I guess you'll have to do. Ahem. All right, The Cheat. I need you to help me with my award-winning rewrite of the Ali and Ali's sister email. There's two of them!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Skooko wibbo wee! You should serenade them! I can play the drum!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that sounds about right. Let's go practice!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{jumping up}'' I can play the drum!

''{Cut to The Field. Strong Bad sings into a microphone while Homestar bangs on a [[Wikipedia:floor tom|floor tom]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Don't you know I have a ''{feedback noise}'' BIG OL' RED HEAD! And a fat little body! ''{shakes body}'' And I never change my cloooothes! ''{high pitched, resulting in another feedback noise}'' No, I never change my cloooothes!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, Strong Bad? I think I'm falling for you.

''{Little hearts bubble and pop over Homestar's head. Channel change back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' No, no, no, no, no. That is not right at all. Making Homestar dressed as The Cheat fall in love with me is ''not'' what I had in mind! Whatever. Who cares? I didn't want to go to Sally's house anydangway! ''{clears screen}'' Anyways, what else? I always felt a little bad about kicking The Cheat in email 23. Let's try that one again!

''{Channel change to the non-broken Tandy 400, with the email from [[little animal]] on it.}''
<blockquote class="tandy email">What would you do if a little animal came 
up to you. 
 
crapfully yours, 
Ashley and Anthony</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...crapfully yours, Ashley and Anthony. ''{clears screen, types}'' Well, Ash and Ant, or Ley and Thony, or Shle and Ntho, or whatever you like to be called, if a little animal came up to me, I'd give him a pat on the head, a tuna-flavored treat, and some sage advice.

''{Cut back to reveal Homestar—still in his The Cheat disguise—kneeling next to Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Meh, Strong Bad. Meh.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, ''no way!'' This does not count! You are ''not'' gettin' any fish cookies outta me! But I ''will'' give you that sage advice and a ''{clears throat}'' "pat" on the head. ''{starts hitting Homestar with his keyboard}'' DON'T! EVER! DRESS! UP! As The CHEAT! AGAIN! PARSLEY! SAGE! RoseMARY! And THYME!

''{Strong Mad walks up and glares menacingly at Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' DON'T HURT THE CHEAT!!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, big guy, that's not The Cheat. That's Homestar! From school!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Meedley mee! I'm The Cheat! ''{Strong Mad smiles for a moment.}'' I'm not from school! Moooooo!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrowing his eyes}'' Uh, The Cheat's not a cow, you know...

''{Strong Mad picks Strong Bad up by the leg.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa!

''{Strong Mad starts shaking Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' THE CHEAT IS SO A COW!!!

''{As he shakes Strong Bad, coins fall out and Homestar pecks them off the ground like a chicken.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad! Put me down! You're making a terrible stnank!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It makes me all jangly inside! ''{shakes around as the coins rattle inside him}''

''{Channel change back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Alright, it's become abundantly clear that THIS is the email I should be redoing. Lappy, if you please.

''{The text disappears as the computer displays "Do Over!!!" with an accompanying explosion effect.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' DO OVER!!!

''{the original email comes back up, and Strong Bad types:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' What would I do differently Richie? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Well, except I might go back and taste out one of them Cheatcakes. ''{the scene cuts back to show the desk}'' Those things looked a-pretty good!

''{Homestar leans in, still in disguise and carrying a bag that says "MOLDY BREAD, GUYS"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Meeeeeeh?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No! Wait! Nothing! Never! I regret ''nothing''!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sadly leaving the screen}'' Meeeeeeh...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Phew!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. A few seconds later, Strong Bad taps the back of his head a few times, shaking out more coins, which land on the desk.}''

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:The Homestar.PNG|thumb|right|"Can you pass the soy crisps?"]]
*Click on "Coach Zed" to see a drawing of [[Other Character Variations|Coach Zed]], who looks like a mix between [[Coach Z]] and Snoopy's brother [[Wikipedia:Spike_%28Peanuts%29|Spike]]. The picture matches the comic strip [[Peanuts]] in both drawing style and font.
*Click on the [[Floppy Disk Container]] at the end of the email to see The Cheat (disguised as Homestar Runner with kiss marks) and Marzipan together.
*:'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, can you pass the soy crisps?
*:'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises of emphatic agreement}''
*:''{The Cheat hands Marzipan a bag labeled "Crisps, A-Soy!"}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*'''Zed''' is the pronunciation of the letter "Z" in most of the [[Wikipedia:Commonwealth English|English]]-speaking world except the United States (where it is pronounced '''zee''').
*"[[Wikipedia:Canuck|Canuck]]" is a nickname for a person from Canada.
*The top shine in Homestar's eyes is also colored yellow when he is painted as The Cheat.


===Remarks===
*Homestar says that The Cheat is not from [[School|school]], yet The Cheat appears in the [[Yearbook Character Page]].

=== Trivia ===
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#marble craze|marble craze]]".
*[[The Brothers Chaps]] produced a commentary for the email '''before''' producing the email itself.

===Goofs===
*The Tandy's contrast buttons are still damaged when "little animal" is first being done-over, even though the Tandy is supposed to be undamaged. When the camera zooms away, the problem fixes itself.
*When Strong Bad redoes the Tandy-era emails, the star logo is further left than in the original and "contrast" is written in a different font.
*If you click the [[Floppy Disk Container]] before Strong Bad throws the change all over his desk, then the change will already be there when you cut back.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad receives the signature [[Crapfully Yours]] yet again.
*"Stnank" was a [[Made-Up Strong Bad Animals#Stnank and Grumberto|made-up animal]] that wasn't used in the email [[animal]], but was seen in the [[Sketchbook]] (December 2, 2004).
*"Meedley mee" is a reference to the hot lixx played by Strong Bad in [[guitar]].
*Strong Bad wanting to taste a [[The Cheatcakes|Cheatcake]] is a reference to [[stupid stuff]], in which The Cheat offers him a platter of said dessert only to have it be rejected by Strong Bad.
*Strong Bad saying "Those things looked a-pretty good!" is a reference to [[monument]], where he says almost the same thing about Technochocolate.
*The [[Explosions|explosion]] used as the background for the "Do Over!!!" message is the same one used in the [[Theme Song Video]] when Strong Bad's slot car jumps the railing and crashes onto the table.
*This is another reference to [[Kicking The Cheat]].
*The lip prints on The Cheat are the same ones as used in [[video games]].
*This is another appearance of [[Thyme]].
*There is another reference to Homestar's [[Bread|bread]] obsession.



===Real-World References===

*[[Crisps, A-Soy!]] is a reference to [http://www.nabiscoworld.com/cookieguys/ Chips Ahoy!] brand cookies and to the many soy products whose names contain puns on the word "soy" (such as "Soy Good" soy milk).
*[http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_15313,00.html Egg Drop Soup] is a Chinese dish made from chicken broth and beaten eggs.
*Strong Bad's cry of "PARSLEY! SAGE! RoseMARY! And [[Thyme|THYME!]]" is a reference to the lyrics of "[[Wikipedia:Scarborough_Fair|Scarborough Fair]]," a 16th or 17th century English ballad repopularized in the 1960s by folk-rock duo [[Wikipedia:Simon_and_Garfunkel|Simon and Garfunkel]].
*The hearts that bubble around Homestar's head are the same ones that appear whenever you type the word "love" using the chat program [http://www.hello.com/index.php Hello!].
*Homestar eating coins is similar to the ''[[Wikipedia:Family Guy|Family Guy]]'' [[Wikipedia:Blind Ambition (Family Guy)|episode]] that premiered the night before this email was released, in which Peter Griffin also ate coins and made a very similar jingling sound.
*The Homestar/Cheat switch might be a reference to the show [[Wikipedia:Trading_Spaces|Trading Spaces]].

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

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

'''MIKE:''' All right, so we're doing the commentary for email 130 right now, but guess what, Matt?

'''MATT:''' What, what's that, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' We haven't even ''made'' that email yet!

'''MATT:''' Uh oh, how're we gonna do the commentary?

'''MIKE:''' I don't know let's just start talking and, uh, we'll see it works for commentary.

'''MATT:''' Strong Bad's making fun of somebody's name—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' —or reading the email probably right now. Oh, let's see, oh he's got a dumb name and he misspelled something!

'''MIKE:''' It might be called "do over" or "junk commentary".

'''MATT:''' Really.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Wow, those both sound pretty intrigue-ling.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, maybe we'll see.

'''MATT:''' How long, how do we know how long to go on for?

'''MIKE:''' We'll just go for a few minutes here and see, uh... Oh look, aah, ''{laughs}'' look what, what happened there! ''{Nothing actually happened.}''

'''MATT:''' That was pretty good!

'''MIKE:''' That was, uh, that was my idea, definitely it was the funniest part of the email and uh, I thought to do it, out of my own head.

'''MATT:''' Oh really, and what happened, Mike, in this part of the email that hasn't been—

'''MIKE:''' Well, I haven't written it yet, Matt!

'''MATT:''' Um,—

'''MIKE:''' But I know it was good!

'''MATT:''' —this one is definitely going to be an awesome email.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it's gonna... we're saving up.

'''MATT:''' All our... our tickets.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yes. Um, so this, uh — Strong Sad, uh, doesn't appear in this email.

'''MATT:''' Oh, making some executive decisions are we?

'''MIKE:''' Well, his voice might be in it.

'''MATT:''' Okay, his vo—''{laughing}'' all right, well. We're gonna successfully write this email just by talking about it.

'''MIKE:''' That's a good idea.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, so let's pretend it's called "do over".

'''MATT:''' Okay.

'''MIKE:''' He's doing, he's redoing an email that he's already done.

'''MATT:''' One, or multiple ones?

'''MIKE:''' Let's say he just does parts of multiple ones.

'''MATT:''' Okay. ''{With uncannily accurate timing.}'' Uh oh, here comes Homestar!

'''MIKE:''' Aah wait wait, here it is!

''{both laugh exaggeratedly}''

'''MATT:''' That's the fireman.

'''MIKE:''' Oh man, that gets my goose every time.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Eww. Um, so which, so which ones is he going to do over, like old-old emails—

'''MIKE:''' Some old-old ones.

'''MATT:''' —like "tape leg"?

'''MIKE:''' Like... Why would he touch that one?

'''MATT:''' I mean that era. Of course, "tape leg" is off-limits.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Some in that era, maybe some—

'''MATT:''' Summon that era?

'''MIKE:''' Summon. I, I call upon thee to summon that era. No I think, uh, "invisibility", maybe, has some potential.

'''MATT:''' But that one's great!

'''MIKE:''' Oh I know, but it's just got a, you know, it's just maybe got a—

'''MATT:''' Go another direction?

'''MIKE:''' —maybe got one other thing. Maybe he wanted to do something else.

'''MATT:''' I hope that floating box of Swiss Cake Rolls comes back, 'cause I love those. That's my favorite part.

'''MIKE:''' Maybe, maybe the "invisibility" one, the "do over" one, he should just, uh, in the "invisibility" email just wanna hang out with the, uh, floating box, ''{laughing}'' floating box of Swiss Cake Rolls.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Act like it's not being carried by, uh---

'''MIKE:''' Right, by him.

'''MATT:''' —an invisible version of him?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' That'd be good.

'''MIKE:''' And he and the, uh, ''{laughing}'' floating box of Swiss Cake Rolls, just gonna wreak havoc.

'''MATT:''' It'd be kinda like the, uh, Wagon Fulla Pancakes.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. It'd be better than that. Funnier than that. That's ''{unintelligible}''.

'''MATT:''' You didn't think it was very funny, huh?

'''MIKE:''' ''{makes a long noise indicating "not really"}''

'''MATT:''' It was your idea if I remember correctly—

'''MIKE:''' —It was a good one!—

'''MATT:''' —to do the wagon full of pancakes.

'''MIKE:''' It's the second-funniest email ever written next to email 130.

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

'''MIKE:''' How long we've been goin' here, 'bout three minutes?

'''MATT:''' Ah, we got a ways.

'''MIKE:''' We got a little while, ''{stammers}'' use your own format.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Let's go for another minute yet, definitely.

'''MATT:''' Um, so I remember when we were a kid, this part. It was from when we were kids. ''{This part has nothing to do with when he was a kid.}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{holding in laughter}'' Yeah, that, that elementary school teacher we had.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, and there was this, this kid at school, too, who would do that thing, and we probably made a movie about it. Uh, me and Neil.

'''MIKE:''' And then ''{someone}'' died. I kicked him in the head.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, so we were going to put something sort of like that in a cartoon.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, and that was in our basement.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing to himself}''

'''MIKE:''' We used to do that... Sister Julie was not pleased when that happened.

'''MATT:''' That's right.

'''MIKE:''' Um...

'''MATT:''' What else you got, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' We got about twenty seconds here, Matt. What are your parting words? This is the last commentary on the DVD. This is the last chance you've got — Make it ''matter''. That's my new motto: "Make it matter." What's yours?

'''MATT:''' Uh, my new motto is... "Matters...Matt[[Names ending in -erson|erson]]".

'''MIKE:''' Good one. I'll give you one more chance.

'''MATT:''' Wah wah wahhh! ''{the "you lose" noise}''

'''MIKE:''' That's a good one.

'''MATT:''' That's my motto.

'''MIKE:''' "Wah wah wah"?

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

'''MIKE:''' And what was mine?

'''MATT:''' Bump bump ba bummm!

'''MIKE:''' Make it matter. ''{laughs}''

''{The commentary is a little shorter than the email, so the toon's audio takes over.}''

==Fun Facts==
=== Fast Forward ===

*Matt's motto "Wah wah wah" is spoken by Homestar in the toon [[Cool Things]].

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' No, no, no, no, no. That is not right at all. Making Homestar dressed as The Cheat fall in love with me is ''not'' what I had in mind! Whatever. Who cares? I didn't want to go to Sally's house anydangway! ''{clears screen}'' Anyways, what else? I always felt a little bad about kicking The Cheat in email 23. Let's try that one again!

''{Channel change to the non-broken Tandy 400, with the email from [[little animal]] on it.}''
<blockquote class="tandy email">What would you do if a little animal came 
up to you. 
 
crapfully yours, 
Ashley and Anthony</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...crapfully yours, Ashley and Anthony. ''{clears screen, types}'' Well, Ash and Ant, or Ley and Thony, or Shle and Ntho, or whatever you like to be called, if a little animal came up to me, I'd give him a pat on the head, a tuna-flavored treat, and some sage advice.

''{Cut back to reveal Homestar—still in his The Cheat disguise—kneeling next to Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Meh, Strong Bad. Meh.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, ''no way!'' This does not count! You are ''not'' gettin' any fish cookies outta me! But I ''will'' give you that sage advice and a ''{clears throat}'' "pat" on the head. ''{starts hitting Homestar with his keyboard}'' DON'T! EVER! DRESS! UP! As The CHEAT! AGAIN! PARSLEY! SAGE! RoseMARY! And THYME!

''{Strong Mad walks up and glares menacingly at Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' DON'T HURT THE CHEAT!!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, big guy, that's not The Cheat. That's Homestar! From school!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Meedley mee! I'm The Cheat! ''{Strong Mad smiles for a moment.}'' I'm not from school! Moooooo!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrowing his eyes}'' Uh, The Cheat's not a cow, you know...

''{Strong Mad picks Strong Bad up by the leg.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa!

''{Strong Mad starts shaking Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' THE CHEAT IS SO A COW!!!

''{As he shakes Strong Bad, coins fall out and Homestar pecks them off the ground like a chicken.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Strong Mad! Put me down! You're making a terrible stnank!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It makes me all jangly inside! ''{shakes around as the coins rattle inside him}''

''{Channel change back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Alright, it's become abundantly clear that THIS is the email I should be redoing. Lappy, if you please.

''{The text disappears as the computer displays "Do Over!!!" with an accompanying explosion effect.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' DO OVER!!!

''{the original email comes back up, and Strong Bad types:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' What would I do differently Richie? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Well, except I might go back and taste out one of them Cheatcakes. ''{the scene cuts back to show the desk}'' Those things looked a-pretty good!

''{Homestar leans in, still in disguise and carrying a bag that says "MOLDY BREAD, GUYS"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Meeeeeeh?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No! Wait! Nothing! Never! I regret ''nothing''!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sadly leaving the screen}'' Meeeeeeh...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Phew!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. A few seconds later, Strong Bad taps the back of his head a few times, shaking out more coins, which land on the desk.}''

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

'''MIKE:''' All right, so we're doing the commentary for email 130 right now, but guess what, Matt?

'''MATT:''' What, what's that, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' We haven't even ''made'' that email yet!

'''MATT:''' Uh oh, how're we gonna do the commentary?

'''MIKE:''' I don't know let's just start talking and, uh, we'll see it works for commentary.

'''MATT:''' Strong Bad's making fun of somebody's name—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' —or reading the email probably right now. Oh, let's see, oh he's got a dumb name and he misspelled something!

'''MIKE:''' It might be called "do over" or "junk commentary".

'''MATT:''' Really.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Wow, those both sound pretty intrigue-ling.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, maybe we'll see.

'''MATT:''' How long, how do we know how long to go on for?

'''MIKE:''' We'll just go for a few minutes here and see, uh... Oh look, aah, ''{laughs}'' look what, what happened there! ''{Nothing actually happened.}''

'''MATT:''' That was pretty good!

'''MIKE:''' That was, uh, that was my idea, definitely it was the funniest part of the email and uh, I thought to do it, out of my own head.

'''MATT:''' Oh really, and what happened, Mike, in this part of the email that hasn't been—

'''MIKE:''' Well, I haven't written it yet, Matt!

'''MATT:''' Um,—

'''MIKE:''' But I know it was good!

'''MATT:''' —this one is definitely going to be an awesome email.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it's gonna... we're saving up.

'''MATT:''' All our... our tickets.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yes. Um, so this, uh — Strong Sad, uh, doesn't appear in this email.

'''MATT:''' Oh, making some executive decisions are we?

'''MIKE:''' Well, his voice might be in it.

'''MATT:''' Okay, his vo—''{laughing}'' all right, well. We're gonna successfully write this email just by talking about it.

'''MIKE:''' That's a good idea.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, so let's pretend it's called "do over".

'''MATT:''' Okay.

'''MIKE:''' He's doing, he's redoing an email that he's already done.

'''MATT:''' One, or multiple ones?

'''MIKE:''' Let's say he just does parts of multiple ones.

'''MATT:''' Okay. ''{With uncannily accurate timing.}'' Uh oh, here comes Homestar!

'''MIKE:''' Aah wait wait, here it is!

''{both laugh exaggeratedly}''

'''MATT:''' That's the fireman.

'''MIKE:''' Oh man, that gets my goose every time.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Eww. Um, so which, so which ones is he going to do over, like old-old emails—

'''MIKE:''' Some old-old ones.

'''MATT:''' —like "tape leg"?

'''MIKE:''' Like... Why would he touch that one?

'''MATT:''' I mean that era. Of course, "tape leg" is off-limits.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Some in that era, maybe some—

'''MATT:''' Summon that era?

'''MIKE:''' Summon. I, I call upon thee to summon that era. No I think, uh, "invisibility", maybe, has some potential.

'''MATT:''' But that one's great!

'''MIKE:''' Oh I know, but it's just got a, you know, it's just maybe got a—

'''MATT:''' Go another direction?

'''MIKE:''' —maybe got one other thing. Maybe he wanted to do something else.

'''MATT:''' I hope that floating box of Swiss Cake Rolls comes back, 'cause I love those. That's my favorite part.

'''MIKE:''' Maybe, maybe the "invisibility" one, the "do over" one, he should just, uh, in the "invisibility" email just wanna hang out with the, uh, floating box, ''{laughing}'' floating box of Swiss Cake Rolls.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Act like it's not being carried by, uh---

'''MIKE:''' Right, by him.

'''MATT:''' —an invisible version of him?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' That'd be good.

'''MIKE:''' And he and the, uh, ''{laughing}'' floating box of Swiss Cake Rolls, just gonna wreak havoc.

'''MATT:''' It'd be kinda like the, uh, Wagon Fulla Pancakes.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. It'd be better than that. Funnier than that. That's ''{unintelligible}''.

'''MATT:''' You didn't think it was very funny, huh?

'''MIKE:''' ''{makes a long noise indicating "not really"}''

'''MATT:''' It was your idea if I remember correctly—

'''MIKE:''' —It was a good one!—

'''MATT:''' —to do the wagon full of pancakes.

'''MIKE:''' It's the second-funniest email ever written next to email 130.

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

'''MIKE:''' How long we've been goin' here, 'bout three minutes?

'''MATT:''' Ah, we got a ways.

'''MIKE:''' We got a little while, ''{stammers}'' use your own format.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Let's go for another minute yet, definitely.

'''MATT:''' Um, so I remember when we were a kid, this part. It was from when we were kids. ''{This part has nothing to do with when he was a kid.}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{holding in laughter}'' Yeah, that, that elementary school teacher we had.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, and there was this, this kid at school, too, who would do that thing, and we probably made a movie about it. Uh, me and Neil.

'''MIKE:''' And then ''{someone}'' died. I kicked him in the head.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, so we were going to put something sort of like that in a cartoon.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, and that was in our basement.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing to himself}''

'''MIKE:''' We used to do that... Sister Julie was not pleased when that happened.

'''MATT:''' That's right.

'''MIKE:''' Um...

'''MATT:''' What else you got, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' We got about twenty seconds here, Matt. What are your parting words? This is the last commentary on the DVD. This is the last chance you've got — Make it ''matter''. That's my new motto: "Make it matter." What's yours?

'''MATT:''' Uh, my new motto is... "Matters...Matt[[Names ending in -erson|erson]]".

'''MIKE:''' Good one. I'll give you one more chance.

'''MATT:''' Wah wah wahhh! ''{the "you lose" noise}''

'''MIKE:''' That's a good one.

'''MATT:''' That's my motto.

'''MIKE:''' "Wah wah wah"?

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

'''MIKE:''' And what was mine?

'''MATT:''' Bump bump ba bummm!

'''MIKE:''' Make it matter. ''{laughs}''

''{The commentary is a little shorter than the email, so the toon's audio takes over.}''

==Fun Facts==
=== Fast Forward ===

*Matt's motto "Wah wah wah" is spoken by Homestar in the toon [[Cool Things]].

==Transcript==
''{Strong Bad types "strongbad_email.exe".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I met this email on a north-bound train. We had some dinner, then we danced in the rain. ''{Presses enter.}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: narration</div>
Have you ever been the narrator for a movie? 
 
Grant Gossman from Minnesota. 
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "Minnesota" slightly slower than the rest.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' No Grossman, I have not. But you know what's way better than narrating movies? Narrating peoples' pathetic everyday lives like they're movie trailers. Ready? Let's try it!

''{Cut to Strong Sad's room. Strong Sad is sitting at his table eating a small pie. Strong Bad leans in through the doorway.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dramatically}'' Meet Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' What? Who are you talking to?

'''STRONG BAD:''' All he ever wanted was to eat his grody ethnic food in peace.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey man, this is a Rogan Josh pot pie!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Until one day, fate threw him a curveball.

''{A small blue octopus flies across the screen, hits Strong Sad in the face with a slap and sticks to him.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' OW!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lump of Dump Pictures proudly presents:

''{Cut to logo splash. Words appear as Strong Bad says them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' "Whined & Dined". In the game of life, may the best man ''{slight pause}'' whine. ''{grumbles}''

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. Coach Z is talking to Bubs. Strong Bad quickly peers out around the corner of the stand. All the while, dramatic music with drums is heard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' In a post-apocalyptic world where ''{cut to a closeup of Strong Bad}'' weird old men survive on boring conversations...

''{Cut to wide shot outside the stand.}''

'''BUBS:''' I suppose we could talk about my napkin friend for another couple hours. ''{holds up a napkin}''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...a line will be drawn.

''{Cut to the inside of the stand.}''

'''COACH Z:''' YOUR napkin?! Well, it's got my snot balls on it!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A hero will rise.

''{Cut back to outside the stand.}''

'''BUBS:''' Man, you don't even have a nose!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And an empire will fall.

''{Cut back to outside the stand. Bubs slams the metal gate to his concession stand shut, revealing "4actor Z" graffiti}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Factor Z!

''{Cut to Marzipan's House. Marzipan and Homestar are inside; Homestar is wearing an apron and a strange chef's hat. Strong Bad peeks in from the left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' They were a couple in love.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, you look like a dork with that on.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Until a dorky chef's hat threatened to tear them apart.

''{Close-up of Homestar's head. Homestar shakes his head, making the hat's 'googly eyes' jiggle.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, yeah? Well maybe you look like some type of enormous... alien... cow!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{gasp}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as music begins to play}'' This summer,—

''{Cut to the field, where Homsar is levitating on his stomach while his hat rises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —this holiday season,—

''{Cut to the side of The King of Town's castle. The Poopsmith is shoveling whatsit in the background. Slow zoom in on him}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —this Arbor Day, some smelly French studio invites YOU ''{points at camera}'' to sit through a four hour film with no dialogue and no plot. "Whatsit ''{slight pause}'' All About"

''{Title appears on the screen with the subtitle "Whatzeet All Aboot?" Cut to Strong Mad's room. Strong Mad and The Cheat are playing Battleship. Piano music begins as Strong Bad appears in the center}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Two unlikely partners...

'''STRONG MAD:''' I ATE MY BATTLESHIP!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...one brain between them.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{shrugs and sighs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' From the creators of "I'm Surprised Strong Mad Hasn't Eaten The Cheat by Now"

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{upset}'' Awww!

'''STRONG BAD:''' get ready to—

''{The words fly on screen as he says them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —LUG... IT... AROUND.

''{Title appears at top of screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' "Lugnut ''{gestures toward Strong Mad, who grins}'' & Squeak" ''{pats The Cheat on the head}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes a The Cheat noise}''

''{Cut to bathroom. We are just behind Strong Sad as he brushes his teeth. We can see his reflection in the mirror. Strong Bad pops up just over his shoulder.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' For hundreds of years it has ''{flickers lights on and off}'' haunted mankind.

''{Cut to The Basement. Strong Sad is watching TV. Strong Bad is standing off to the side.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' From the master of teenagers-on-a-camping-trip-esque horror. ''{flickers lights again and leaves them off}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Are you gonna throw a dead goose at me or something?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Comes the remake no one has been waiting for: ''{another title splash}'' "Things That Go Dump in The Night".

''{Cut to the laundry room. Strong Sad opens the dryer. Cut to a view of Strong Sad from inside it. A dead Canada goose flies out and Strong Sad screams as it knocks him over. The screen immediately goes black except for the words "Your goose is cooked."}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' The critics agree! "A triumph!" "A cinematic breakfast snack of some kind!" "It ''{very slight pause}'' sure was a movie!" ''{quickly}'' Now playing in select cities. ''{rapidly, in the manner of a disclaimer}'' This Strong Bad Email has been rated P for The Poopsmith and a graphic scene of The Paper.

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

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on "grossman" after Strong Bad types it to see a Strong Badman comic book cover illustrating him.
*Click on "critics" at the end of the email to see a scene with Strong Bad and Strong Sad.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{still with the blue octopus on his face}'' Look, all I'm saying is it felt more like a change-up than a curveball.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' What are you, the SBEmail police now? This is like three weeks in a row!
*Click on "rated P" at the end to see a scene with a [[Powered by the Cheat]]-style Marzipan Alien Cow and Nebulon on [[The Moon]].
:'''MARZIPAN ALIEN:''' ''{in a Powered by the Cheat-style voice}'' You know, Nebulon, I've always admired your styles.
:''{Nebulon makes a sad face and slides away.}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Rogan Josh|Rogan Josh]] is a tomato/red pepper based lamb curry dish, created in Northern India. It is normally served over rice, not in a pot pie.
*The "change-up" and "curveball" Strong Sad mentions in the Easter egg are both [[Wikipedia:Pitch (baseball)|pitches]] in baseball. There is a [[Wikipedia:Double-entendre|double entendre]], however. While he was probably speaking literally of the octopus being thrown at him, both phrases can also be used of unexpected twists of fate, as in Strong Bad's narration.

===Trivia===
*The Strong Badman Easter egg was not in the email at first, but was added later on in the day.

===Remarks===
* Strong Bad emphasizes the word "gross" when he says the name "Gossman" as "Grossman". A "gross" is a term for 144 of anything, and this is the 144th email.
* Strong Bad refers to Bubs and Coach Z as "old men" in this toon. Their ages relative to the other characters are rarely mentioned, although Coach Z called himself an "old man" in [[caffeine]].
** Interestingly, although Strong Bad refers to Bubs as an old man in this e-mail and in [[isp]], he also called him "kid" in [[cheatday]].
* When Strong Bad is narrating for "THiNGS THAT GO DUMP iN THE NiGHT", he flips the lights on and off in the basement, making us think that there is a light switch just "behind the black" on the left. However, in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]], no light switch was seen.
*Strong Bad separating Minnesota from the rest of the email in the way he did, is probably a reference to how Minnesotans pronounce the long O sound.

===Goofs===
*During the ''Lugnut and Squeak'' scene, the Battleship images on the playing boards are slightly disproportionate when the camera zooms in on Strong Bad.
*When The Poopsmith is shoveling his pile of [[Whatsit|whatsit]], the whatsit on his shovel disappears before dropping to the ground.

===Glitches===
*When Marzipan's angry expression is used, blinking causes her outline to be intruded.

===Inside References===
*Strong Mad's role as Lugnut is likely a reference to his [[Yearbook Character Page#Strong Mad|Yearbook Character Page]], which described him as a "big lug."
*Strong Bad's line about boring conversations between Bubs and Coach Z is another Yearbook Character Page reference, while their argument over who owns the napkin is a reference to the Easter egg rap from [[cheatday]], specifically Bubs's line (to Coach Z) "But don't you steal my napkins."
*When Strong Bad says "three weeks in a row", he is referring to the previous 2 emails: [[technology]], in which Strong Sad corrected Strong Bad for calling a floppy disk a "hard disk", and [[secret identity]], when [[Hyperactive Strong Sad]] corrected Homestar's mispronunciation of "pseudonym". All three of these corrections occurred during [[Easter egg|Easter eggs]].
*Even though Marzipan Alien Cow says she likes his style (unlike Strong Bad and [[1-Up]]), Nebulon mopes away just as he did in [[New Boots]].
**Matt Chapman remarked in the [[Inkhole Interview]] and [[New Boots#Commentary Transcript|New Boots DVD Commentary]] that this move is his favorite part of any toon.
*The movie title "THiNGS THAT GO DUMP iN THE NiGHT" is another appearance of [[Lowercase i's|lowercase ''i'''s]].
*There is another reference to [[Pie|pie]].
*Homestar's dorky chef's hat is another instance of a [[Googly-eyed Objects|googly-eyed object]].
* "4actor Z" is another example of [[Internet Slang|Leetspeak]].
*The question asked in this email was similar to that of [[monster truck]].

===Real-World References===
* Strong Bad narrates the trailer for ''Things that Go Dump in the Night'' in the style of [[Wikipedia:Don LaFontaine|Don LaFontaine]], famous for providing voice overs to more than 5000 commercials and trailers.
* The game Strong Mad and The Cheat are playing is [[Wikipedia:Battleship (game)|Battleship]]. Strong Mad's line "I ate my battleship!" is a take off from the old Battleship commercials, where one player would cry at the end "You sank my battleship!"
* The "battleship" icon depicted on the game is a silhouette of the Civil War-era Confederate [[Wikipedia:Ironclad_warship|ironclad]] ''[[Wikipedia:CSS_Virginia|CSS Virginia]]''.
* The title "Things That Go [[Dump]] in the Night" is a reference to the better known phrase "Things that go '''Bump''' in the Night".
* "Teenagers on a camping trip" likely refers to the movie [[Wikipedia:Friday the 13th (film series)|Friday the 13th]] and its sequels, which primarily featured such characters.

*When Strong Bad replies, "An empire, will fall!" that is the tagline for some of the [[Wikipedia:Star Wars|Star Wars]] series.
*The guitar strumming during the trailer for Marzipan and Homestar's relationship may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Brokeback_Mountain|Brokeback Mountain]], which came out a month and a half before this email.
