== Linking Rules ==

This section sholud stay at the top of this talk page.

*'''Active sites only''' - If a site is down indefinitely, on indefinite hiatus, inactive for several months, or "Coming Soon", it will be removed.
*'''No editorializing''' - List only the name of the site and a ''very'' brief description of its content. Comments like "The best fansite!!" will be removed.
*'''No duplicates''' - If a site is both a fan site and a forum, it should not be listed in both places. Pick the most appropriate category.

In addition, articles and interviews should be listed in reverse-chronological order (newest ones first) and other links should be listed in alphabetical order by title. Official sites are listed in order of their relevance to Homestar Runner.

== Links that are currently broken ==

These have been moved here in the hope they return someday. This section should stay at the top of this talk page just below the linking rules.

I'm not sure where to put this, so here: 
The Strong Bad Numa Numa song can be found through a link on [www.garybrolsma.net]. It's on the sightings page.

:Actually, that page links to the same place we link to, and it really is down. Thanks for the tip, though. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 22:18, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

:And garybrolsma.net has since removed the link from their site as well. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 19:48, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

==Strongfans?==

Does anyone know what happened to Strongfans? The page isn't exactly down, but it won't let me go anywhere.

== Don't add sites that are down ==
Listen people! the forums you are trolling to put them back in are DOWN! -[[No Loafing V2]]

:I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you are talking about. Can you please elaborate? I haven't seen any trolling on this page. And maybe adding a section heading to the topic you started would help. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 14:18, 17 Sep 2004 (MST)

== Personal websites ==

I have a Homestar Runner fansite, but it only has my stuff (fanfiction and fanart). Would it be okay for me to add to the list?--[[User:Hysterical Woman|Hysterical Woman]] 11:39, 24 Oct 2004 (MST)

== Fan site pages? ==

I noticed that we now have links to pages for every fan site. What are information are these pages going to contain? Will it be something that the one line description doesn't have? And will they be NPOV?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 14:23, 16 Dec 2004 (MST)

I noticed this too; I don't think we need articles on fan created sites. The link is sufficient to direct people to them. If they want to make articles on the [http://fanstuff.hrwiki.org/ Fanstuff Wiki], I say go nuts, but this Wiki should be as "cannon" as possible. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 03:21, 17 Dec 2004 (MST)
:The [http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Muppet_Fandom Muppet Wiki] and [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Websites Wookieepedia] has articles on fan created sites. --[[User:Sam Goldfish|Sam Goldfish]] 00:48, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

::And we don't, for the reasons Drhaggis mentioned over a year and a half ago. Also note that my comment referred to [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Links&oldid=27618 this version of the article] and that the links were removed [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Links&diff=28028&oldid=27852 the next day] after this discussion. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 16:50, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

:::I didn't say we ''needed'' articles on fan created sites, but isn't the sky's the limit? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 17:01, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
::::I'd prefer there were no links to fansites for a few reasons. One, we are documenting H*R as produced by TBC, not all H*R-related fanstuff around the web. Secondly, if the fansite in question is fanstuff, a HRFWiki page would be appropriate for collecting such links; if the site in question is a description of the 'canon' of H*R it's duplication ofcontent we already have. In other words, such links don't complement what we're trying to do here. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 17:20, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

== Website Linking ==

I think the "Want to link this Wiki from your website?" section needs to be a seperate page, or at least seen better. It's hard to find it way down at the bottom of [[Links]]. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''
:Maybe something like [[Links/Link to the Wiki]] would be good.—[[User:StrongstarRunbad|StrongstarRunbad]] 20:36, 14 Jan 2005 (MST)

:I think that should be the case only if there are many images that can be chosen from. Right now two are dead and I have had to delete them (if anyone has local copies of them please upload them to the wiki!). I also suggest that the remaining offsite linked images should be saved locally on the hrwiki's image directory. I, unfortunately don't really know how to do this at this time. If I learn how, I will do so. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:49, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Banners and buttons ==

Are we allowed to add our own banners and buttons to the "Link to HRWiki" section? Can we upload them here? →[[User:evin290|evin290]] 19:20, 19 Feb 2005 (MST)

:As far as I know, yes. →[[User:FireBird|''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>'']]

==E2TL.PLAYVECTREX.COM==

Is something wrong with everybodytothelimit.com? It just goes to some page with main5.swf embedded in it with a picture of a poorly animated duck with a server clock. Is that supposed to happen when I go to any page on that site? →{{User:Darklinkskywalker/DLSsignature}} 03:55, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I am experiencing the same thing, only now not even the duck appears. I beleive that this link should be considered dead and should be deleted. According to the description, it likely has a copy of the [http://forums.oktam.com/h*r_mirror/ Oktam] mirror. Also, the [http://homestarrunner.kitkorp.com/ kitcorp] mirror is more thorough than the Oktam mirror and should be moved to the top of the list. I will come back in a few days and do the aforementioned changes if there are no objections. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:42, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Broken links ==

Seems silly for this page to have broken links on it. Perhaps they can be moved to the top of the talk page with some kind of notice on the main page to the effect of: "If you don't see a known link here, it might be down. Please check the talk page." What do you think? I'll go ahead and do this if nobody objects. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 16:49, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

:Seems ok. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 16:57, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

== Homestarrunner.net ==

Do we really need to have homestarrunner.net linked on this page anymore? {{User:Dantheburgerking/sig}}

== EverybodyToTheLimit? ==

What's up with EverybodyToTheLimit.com? It's not down, but it's not exactly up either. Should it be moved to the talk page or kept where it is on the main page? — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 02:35, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

:Probably leave it in links, with a note that it's currently 'in limbo' or something. The fact that there's still something there means somebody's still paying the net dues, and thus might start it up again, right? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 03:12, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

::I realized right after I posted this that it's already posted about [[Talk:Links#E2TL.PLAYVECTREX.COM|above]]. I guess leaving it on the Links page won't hurt. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 16:33, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

== Am I blind or something? ==

Do we link to these sites/articles anywhere? I'm not seeing them on this page or the [[Interviews and Public Appearances]] page. Am I just blind and I'm not seeing them, or do they need to be added somewhere?

There's also a bunch of listings for Homestar Runner at [http://thefanlistings.org/browse3.php?show=animation&sub=animation_subcat&start=10 thefanlistings.org > Animation > Digital Animation]. Perhaps we should create a new subsection for fan listings and list them in order of membership?

What do you think? — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 16:50, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

:I think those two interviews should be linked to in the Interview section, and transcribed if copyrights permit. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 17:01, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

::The two interviews are already text. They aren't videos. They should be linked to, but there's no need to transcribe them. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 17:08, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
:::We've transcribed other interviews that were already text... - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 17:51, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
:I realise this discussion is old, but I was wondering why the above articles aren't linked to anywhere as well. Do they go on [[Article Sightings]] or Interviews and Public Appearances? {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 05:11, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

See [[Interviews and Public Appearances]] and its talk page for more information. [[Sightings]] would be a place to include the other non-interview things, but that's always been a bit unorganized. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 07:14, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

== Other sites... ==

Some of the links in the other sites section (such as jorbs a plenty (and the jibblies??)) seem to belong more in the Sightings section rather than here... any thoughts? Ideas? Discussions... ponderings? Simulations (model checking)? Words...? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 19:55, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

:Sightnings if for a place where we list sites and such who make referecnes to Homestar. Not having a whole toon or site about it. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 20:01, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

I think we should use this Image as an official link. {{User:Dacheatbot/sig}} 04:16, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[[Image:Hrwiki note.png]]

== Wiki Banners ==

Can we add more banners for linking to the wiki [[Links#Want to link to this Wiki?|here]], like [[:Image:TBC wiki banner.PNG|this one I made]]? --[[User:Sam Goldfish|Sam Goldfish]] 02:05, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
:Regardless of whatever support TBC have shown us or how they mention us, I think it is a very bad idea to put "approved by the Brothers Chaps" on ''anything'' on this wiki (whether tongue-in-cheek or not) without a notarized letter from them saying it's okay. I further think that the image should be deleted from the server. (By the way, I am not against banners in general; I just think this one has the ''potential'' for trouble.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:10, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

::::Is [[:Image:The Cheat's angry eyes banner.PNG|this]] any better? --[[User:Sam Goldfish|Sam Goldfish]] 18:53, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

:::::The text is hard to read (black on blue/brown), the language is awkward (we're ''the'' Homestar Runner Wiki), the logo is the one we use for the forum (as opposed to the one we use on the wiki), and it's very large for a banner. Feel free to keep these for your own personal use, but we won't be using them officially in any capacity here on the wiki. Also, we aren't in any great need for banners advertising the wiki. In fact, we don't actively promote the wiki in any fashion, so your efforts might be better spent on other projects. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:02, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

::::::It's not for advertising; it's for [[Links#Want_to_link_to_this_Wiki.3F|linking to the HRWiki]]. --[[User:Sam Goldfish|Sam Goldfish]] 20:20, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

:::::::We aren't actively seeking images for linking to the wiki either. And all the issues I mentioned are still unresolved. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 06:06, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

::::::::I can't speak for the need for or non-need for banners but I thought that the image had potential. It could be edited a bit. When I saw it, I immediately knew what you were referencing. I think perhaps cropping TC out of that background, making it less tall, and then tweaking the text maybe. It needs work, but I love the idea. If it doesn't get used, that would be too bad b/c it was a good idea. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 17:26, 22 June 2006 (UTC) (I'm still around by the way, just waiting for TBC to actually do something new.)

:::::::::Um... I think we should delete these linkings. It's essentially advertising the HRWiki, which, in turn, advertises HSR. And if I'm correct, HSR.com was voted the most visited website "without advertising"! {{User:Im a bell/sig}} 02:50, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

== Newspapers in "Links that are currently broken" ==

I understand the links don't work, but for most newspapers, articles are archived after a while such as here[http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/chicagotribune/results.html?st=advanced&QryTxt=Atlanta+brothers+turn+doodles+into+oodles+of+fun+on+Internet&type=current&sortby=REVERSE_CHRON&datetype=0&frommonth=01&fromday=01&fromyear=1985&tomonth=01&today=25&toyear=2007&By=&Title=&Sect=ALL]. So should they really be considered "Broken"?

== Homestar Board ==

<blockquote>
*<nowiki></nowiki> [http://www.homestarboard.co.nr Homestar Board]
</blockquote>

Considering the next smallest forum by member count is over 200 more than this one, I suggest we establish some sort of minimum for this sort of thing, if not for other things in the Links page as well. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 00:01, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

:Umm, it seems that my forum is too unpopular to be listed? Hey, the only way for it to become popular is if it has some sort of advertisement, which it csn get on fan site listing sites, such as homestarrunner.net or here. Please keep it on, because it is never going to get popular without advertisement. Oh, and I've re-named it as The Municipality (www.themunicipality.co.nr) because Homestar Board sounded too generic. — [[user:Metroidpal45]] 15:00 2 June 2007

:Oh yeah, you were the same guy that told me to stop talking about my forum on homestarrunner.net! Lol.

::Yes, but you can't expect advertisement from here. This is an encyclopedia, and that board is really barely worth mentioning at the moment. If you're able to get it legitimately popular, considering the next lowest is 200, then sure, we can add it. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 21:47, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

:::Thank you.

==Wiki User Confusion==

Can someone please put up a link to the Wiki User Wiki? I don't know what adress it's at. {{User:Don't say jorb 101/sig}}

== Kitkorp Madness! (help me) ==

None of my H*R Kitkorp links in My Favorites are working and neither is the link on the article. '''HELP!!!'''--[[User:Onestop|ONESTOP]] 03:04, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
:Maybe the server's down. That happens to some websites, like Homestarrunner.com was down [[H*R.com Updates 2003#Monday, January 20, 2003|once]]. It's not loading for me either. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 03:17, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

== Namespace/Inclusion ==

Look, I know this page has been here for eons, but... I'm just wondering if we ought to have it at all? And, if we should, should it really be in the main namespace? Think about it: If someone made it today, right now, would we really consider to include it? Somehow I doubt we would. I'm not necessarily proposing deletion right now — or even moving — but I would like to hear what other people think. I know this page has been here for ages, and I respect that, but it's not something, I think, that we'd necessarily include today. Just... think on it, everypeople. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:08, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
:I think it's fine. Documenting other websites related and/or linking to homestarrunner.com is a legit reason for a page in my mind, and I can't think of any other namespace it would fit into better. Why don't you think it's useful? -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 22:08, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

== Links to fansites ==

Looking at this recent editing skirmish, I've got a question: Why are we linking to fansites at all, particularly in the mainspace? I can't see how that falls under our jurisdiction of documenting the Homestar Runner body of work. Today's events also demonstrate a problem that apparently, just anyone can add their own fansite any time they want. I don't think that's appropriate. If we do continue linking to fansites, I think it needs to be limited to ''notable'' ones, not ones that Johnny from DeKalb made yesterday. (What constitutes a notable site may be difficult to establish, and could even be grounds for eschewing them completely.) {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:47, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
:If it have to come to this, I don't mind moving the fansites to the HRWiki namespace. But I would like to see the list stays. I see the wiki as a hub for everything Homestar related (even more so since we are redirected from homestarrunner.net), and I know the other sites probably link to us as well. We are kind of a small community of fans, and I think it would be a disservice to stop linking to the other fansites. So if we must remove the list from the encyclopedic Links article, then I suggest we put it on HRWiki:Homestar Runner Fansites or something like that. {{User:Elcool/sig}} 14:42, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

::In regards to the recent edit warring over the michaelgh.com link, I have to agree with its removal for the following reasons: 1) The site mirrors homestarrunner.com's current content with an ad at the bottom, clearly (attempting to) profit from TBC's work 2) the site's author added the link himself, which while isn't unprecedented, in combination with #1 isn't good 3) he also uses the wiki to help him do all of his shenanigans, which I don't like on principle. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:06, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
I have restored the Links section and separated it into "active" and "inactive" sites. It's hard to make the distinction since some sites still have some content even if they're not updated. Others, like tompkins.tv doesn't match what the description says. I've kept those sites with content in the "Active" list but moved HRWFWiki to the inactive list since we know it's inactive. But since it has content I wonder if it should be moved back up? Any thoughts? (BTW, for the record I do believe we should keep record of the major H*R fan sites somewhere on the wiki.) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 14:44, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
:I don't think that they should be put back up. It clearly states in [[Talk:Links#Linking Rules|Link Rules]] that only active sites can be posted. But I don't think that the fansites should be posted at all. This is a wiki that works to document stuff created by The Brothers Chaps. Not every Homestar Runner thing in existence should be documented. [[Mellow Mushroom|Just work by TBC]]. A list of fansites doesn't belong here it belongs somewhere else. To be clear only Homestar Runner things created by TBC should be documented. {{User:Tenerence Love/sig}} 17:59, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

:::First off, this isn't fanstuff, these are links to (once) major fan sites and that's different. If you consider [[Poker Night at the Inventory]]: we don't strip out all the content not made by TBC, and there are cases where other "non-TBC" content is relevant to the wiki and I think this is one of those cases.

:::::::I wouldn't mind the links going in the HRWiki namespace as long as they're easily accessible and prominently linked from an easily accessible page (for example as a disambiguiation at the top of this page). The sightings pages '''*could*''' go in that namespace also but that's a bigger job that warrants more discussion. While that discussion probably shouldn't happen here I do think that perhaps these two topics are somehow linked and making a decision about them perhaps might draw a line in the sand regarding what content goes where. (Note that moving sightings over should also have prominent links and probably some kind of redirects from the main namespace. So I wonder if we're getting too finicky about this? Then again there's no such thing on this wiki.) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 17:09, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

== Animated Images ==

Hi there Cup 'O Coffee. Since you've sort of spearheaded the image organization, I figured I'd bring this question up with you. I've noticed images like [[:Image:georgestar.gif|this]], [[:Image:1-Up Avatar.gif|this]] and [[:Image:110px-videlectrixman.gif|this]] are marked with the [[:Template:web-screenshot|screenshot template]]. However they seem to me to be more "animations" than "screenshots". Is there another template that could be made that would clarify under what grounds we reproduce the animation, or does it even fall under "fair use"? Thanks, {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 18:40, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
:According to [[Wikipedia:Screenshot]], screenshots aren't ''necessarily'' stills, thought they almost always are. However, while looking this up, I found out that we should have been using {{tl|video-screenshot}}for the entire screen of a toon and {{tl|Character-artwork}} for images like the ones on character evolution pages. I've asked for some clarification on this just to make sure that if I go on another image tagging spree, we won't wind up having to revert most of it. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 22:08, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
::Aparently, the video tag was created with flash animations in mind, so this is going to be another project. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 22:34, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

:::Wait, so you are saying pretty much all of the images tagged with {{tl|web-screenshot}} should be changed to {{tl|video-screenshot}}?

:The weeklies (fanstuff, QoTW, and sketchbook) used to be in the rotating "what's new" list. Some of the main page screenshots don't have the new separate button format, and none of them have the random button, so I'm taking new screenshots. As a plus, some of them come out with a smaller file size (presumably because The GIMP's png compression is easier for pngcrush to optimize than MS Paint's is). BTW, were you quoting Denzel Washington in ''Philadelphia'', or is that just a coincidence. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 01:32, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

::::Re: "some of them come out with a smaller file size" - the wiki doesn't use pngcrush on uploaded images, they're just stored as-is. And MSPaint's PNG compression is indeed abysmal... in some cases I've seen it around half the size of an uncompressed BMP... just opening it and saving it in The GIMP is often enough to shrink it, let alone pngcrush. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 17:10, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

== Creative Commons version update ==

Hi there ACupOfCoffee. Just so you know, the option to release a Creative Commons licensed work under a later version of the license lies with the individual or entity exercising rights under the license, not the person who originally licensed it. The wording of any version of the license explicitly mentions that, so it's really released under version "2.0 or later". If the original author wanted to release it under 2.5, I'd imagine they'd have to release it under both, something like "released under license version 2.0, version 2.5, and all future versions" (but again, I don't think it really matters, since the "all future versions" part (and even the "version 2.5" part, since that is a later version of 2.0) is stated in the license itself, but some people like to put it out there).

== Fonts ==

Noticed your question on fonts. I don't even know what Kristen is offhand, I need to look it up. Times New Roman is used on nearly every computer produced in the US, I believe, and Arial is a close second (though Apple users often prefer the similar but perhaps better Helvetica). You could do a simple poll, though. Like this.

#Does this look like a monospaced font? - if NO, then they don't have a monospace font, so following answers might not be helpful.
#Do these words look like a different font? (tests for Arial)
#Do these words look like a different font? (tests for TNR)
#Do these words look like a different font? (tests for Kristen ITC)

Then see what other users say. For me, the answers are Yes, Yes, Yes and no. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 10:11, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

:I see them all. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 10:37, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
:They all look different to me as well. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 10:49, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
:Same here. A poll on Arial and Times New Roman does not make sense, though. Should these fonts not be available, then modern browsers will automatically choose an appropriate substite, for example Helvetica and Times. The above samples will still appear different from each other (i.e. with and without serifs). Each system should also have at least one monospaced font installed. Courier, for example. The real question here is whether people will see the weirdness of the [http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/kristen-normal-itc/kristen-normal-itc/ Kristen font].{{User:Loafing/sig}} 11:11, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
:::Actually, that's not entirely true. To have that work, you need to set a font-family value as "Times New Roman", serif; or Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;. What actually happens in the absence of any font is the browser chooses the next font in the style declaration (and if you end in a generic name like serif, it chooses its default serif font - which in a misprogrammed browser might not even be a serif font!), or the style of the parent element, or the browser's default font for display of that element. If you declare (for everyday text) font-family: Arial; then if Arial is not installed the font chosen will be whatever the browser's designed to use, which is often a serif font. So it's kinda a crap shoot in some situations. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:28, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

That'd be great ;-) Here are some example links: [http://subs.spacecactus.net/subtitles.php?name=datenite/en Date Nite (English)] [http://subs.spacecactus.net/subtitles.php?name=buginmouth/he Bug in Mouth (Hebrew)] (to see if Unicode works).

== Pumpkin Carve-nival DVD Version ==

Since Pumpkin Carve-nival is my favorite Halloween 'toon that doesn't recquire interactivity during the main feature, I can't thank you enough for transcribing the commentary.

::I've been trying them out and optipng seems to work very nicely with -o7. I can't quite figure out PNGOUT.

== Rewrite ==

If anybody can rewrite my recent addition,

<pre>Or, if you run your pointer over the "e-mail" button,
and quickly move to another button, you can hear Homsar's
voice for the other button over "AaAaAaAaAaAaA."</pre>

I would really appreciate it. I couldn't think of any clearer way to write it. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 14:38, 19 Nov 2004 (MST)

Doesn't seem worthy enough to mention, since all menu's do that. It's just more noticable on this one. [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 18:55, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Games button ==

It may just be me, but I think he says "Jane", not "James". No "s" is audible. --[[User:83.88.139.108|83.88.139.108]] 07:55, 23 Nov 2004 (MST)

Jane would make more sense. A reference to the old saying "Jane stop this crazy thing". Xycho

Hmm... I'm pretty sure I can hear an 's' in there somewhere. But it doesn't matter which one makes more sense. I mean, we're talking about Homsar. --[[User:Lyzz|Lyzz~]]

I'm going to revive this: put the cursor over Games and immediately pull it away. No S. Could be Jane, could be Jeng, or it could be James with the recording cut off because the Bros. didn't do enough bugtesting. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 01:45, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I think it's Jane. I came to this talk page to suggest it, even. [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 18:52, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

With Jay's suggestion, I am hearing "Jane" over and over again. But then again, maybe TBC meant "James" but cut off the ending so that the sound effect of the Heavy Lourde hitting wouldn't be obstructed, not expecting us to trick the button. -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 02:41, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I hear it as "Jame", as if to say "James" but he gets cut off by the "Heavy Lourde". [[User:Swimma Dan|Swimma Dan]]

Sounds more like 'change' to me [[User:The Pardack|The Pardack]]

Actually, it sounds like "Game" to me --No user account varified--

I think he says "James", as a mispronunciation of the word "Games". -- S

I swear i went over that button like 5 times and it always said "jane"

Aha! Some semi-sweet semi-confirmation: "Your James Over" from [[redesign]]. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 05:21, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I heard "Jame" or "Jabe" or "Jay". [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 18:34, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

He says "James!" You just need to pull the cursor away from the button before the Heavy Lourde falls down, and ''listen closely''. You'll hear a definate "S".

== Memorabilia ==

Any idea why the link title is "homestarrunner.com/memorabilia.html"? The word memorabilia is most likely there just as a random word, but does anybody think there may be some significance behing it? --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]

No.

It's probably just Homsar-type randomness. -Kinsey

Actually, you will never hear the strange looping sound in the background. [[User:Stephen923|Stephen923]]

== Jane ==

I think [[User:AAA!|AAA]] is right: Homsar says "Jane", not "James". I used a Flash decompiler to listen to it without interfering Heavy Lourde, and there is definitely no "s" sound. There's also an "n" and no "m".{{User:Loafing/sig}} 10:16, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
:I guess my ears simply disagree. However, if anyone chooses to be bold, there is a Fun Fact that refers to "James" here and on [[redesign]] which would then need to be eliminated. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 10:22, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
::I guess we should come to a conclusion here before someone goes and changes other articles.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 10:27, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
:::Agreed there. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 10:28, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
::::If I concentrate really hard, I can hear "James", but I really have to bend my mind to make it work :-/{{User:Loafing/sig}} 10:31, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::Move your cursor on and off the button quickly and the Lourde won't fall, so he'll say the word uninterrupted. Notice the utter lack of "S". However, as no one can ever seem to agree what the final consonant was (I hear "Jeng", which reminds me of Homsar's nonsense from [[Where's The Cheat?]]), and since you're "supposed" to listen to it with the Lourde falling, I never pressed the point. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 16:34, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
::::::Oh no! Now that I've read this discussion, I hear "Jane" too! I ALWAYS thought he was saying "James", but I just don't hear those "m" and "s" noises anymore! It's very distinc to me: he's saying "Jane"... (Ya think ya know the basics, and then something like this goes and makes ya question your integrity... and your hearing...) {{User:4kai2lyn6/sig}} 16:56, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
:::::::I agree with Jay, I've never heard the "S" sound, but I couldn't make it make any more sense than that, so I was never too concerned about it. - {{User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C/Sig}} 17:03, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm actually not that experienced with Homestar Runner, and I'm quite new, so I just might have heard it wrong. I tried it again, and I just barely heard "James"; the "S" is really hard to hear. Anyway, I also found something interesting. Look in the [[Homsar Main Page#Remarks|Remarks]] section. --{{User:AAA!/sig}} 08:32, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

== [[Main Page 6]] ==

It can't be accessed from the [http://www.homestarrunner.com/main6x.swf unfinished Main Page 6].--[[User:Onestop|ONESTOP]] 16:35, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
:Well, it is unfinished, after all. Further, [[homsar]] came out in 2001, while that page's copyright date reads 2000. He wasn't even made yet when they were designing that page, let alone the Homsar Main Page (made in 2003). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 23:41, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

== Kelsey Grammer and "Beat State"--a pun? ==

Just a suggestion--Kelsey Grammer is a bizarre pun: 'Grammar' (spelt with an A, but pronounced in the same fashion as Grammer, obviously) is a word for school. So the school 'mascot' is a dinosaur, and, presumably, the Kelsey Grammar is up against the "State (school or college)" team. Just my humble opinion.
:Maybe see [[Analysis of Homsar's Speech Patterns]].. though I'm not a fan of that article. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 11:45, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
: Interesting analysis... but but I think one can stretch Homsar's words to mean just about anything since they're so bizarre. I think the dinosaur is just a random thing that pops up with no real meaning, much like Homsar himself. - [[User:Del Taco?|Del Taco?]] 13:37, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

== Another reference to add? ==

When Strong Sad says "How did you get up there? I don't think this is such a good idea!", he's probably refering to [[A Folky Tale]]. Just an idea, as Homsar is at the top of the rope. [[User:CoachX|CoachX]] 18:58, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

*Email [[marzipan]] (Easter egg) — During [[The Cheat]]'s video for [[Marzipan]]'s song, one of the visuals is a name tag that says "Hello, my name is Oh Yeah".
*Email [[2 emails]] — Strong Bad prepares name tags for the hot girls, which read "Hello, my name is Hot Girl #" followed by the number. The numbers and other distinguishing marks are as follows:

E. Fullmer asks what Strong Badia will be like in approximately 2 years, so Strong Bad shares his predictions for the future.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|Coach Z}}, {{Film|Strong Sad}}, {{Film|The Cheat}}, {{Film|Strong Mad}} (Easter egg)

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[Strong Badia]], [[Laundry Room of the Brothers Strong]], [[The King of Town's Grill]]

'''Computer:''' [[Compy 386]]

'''Date:''' Monday, September 22, 2003

'''Running Time:''' 2:02

'''Page Title:''' Compy 386!!

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Three}}

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{very quickly}'' Hassaro, heesaro. Hassaro, heesaro!

''{Reading email}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Strong Bad, 
I am going on a long trip and won't be 
able to check out "Homestar Runner's 
Website" for a long time. What do you 
think the greatest advancement for 
Strong Badia will be in the next 2 
years? 
 
Your Main Man, 
E. Fullmer</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Strong Bad" stressing "Strong" as if it were "Dear," says "Homestar has a website?" after reading "Homestar Runner's Website for a long time" and says "Oh..." before reading the signature}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Umm, Endiment...? ''{typing}'' Hang on Endiment. Just for the record, my main man is, and has been since 1987, Van Mundegaarde. And don't you forget it.

''{not typing, a little picture of Strong Bad with a note from Strong Bad to Van comes down}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, Van, the times we shared. ''{typing}'' Well, as you know, Endy, Strong Badia is on the cutting edge of the future. I can easily predict that the population will have tripled in two years.

''{Cut to Strong Badia}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So by then it will be population: tire and...bundt cake pan.

''{A bundt cake pan appears out of nowhere. The sign changes its population list accordingly.}''

'''STRONG BAD:'''...and Coach Z.

''{Coach Z appears behind the fence, facing away from the camera. The sign changes its population list accordingly again.}''

'''COACH Z:''' I'm takin' a leak!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I also have some good news for you single ladies out there. The cinder block is going to break up with the sign.

''{The stopsign moves away from the cinder block, and a letter from the cinder block to the sign appears on-screen.}''

'''CINDER BLOCK:''' Dear Stop Sign, you are a stop sign and I am a cinder block.

''{The letter disappears}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Ooh! And we will also have developed a world-class hole.

''{A hole appears in the ground}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And by then, hopefully The Cheat will be finished with the mural I commissioned him to paint on the fence...

''{A mural of the words "FIReWORKS or die" appears on the fence}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...like a freakin' year ago. Slowbie. Oh yeah, and the tire will have definitely won the title.

''(A belt appears on the tire and an invisible crowd cheers.)''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And finally, Strong Sad will have actually succeeded in becoming more whiny.

''{Strong Sad appears out of nowhere}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{pouty voice}'' I don't like food anymore!

''{Cut back to the Compy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Augh. So annoying. Oh, that reminds me. I should probably go let Strong Sad outta the dryer. He's been in there since breakfast.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. After about 15 seconds, Strong Bad gets up. Cut to the dryer. Strong Bad opens it, and discovers a dizzy, fluffy The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the—? The Cheat?! Where the crap did I leave Strong Sad?

''{Cut to The King of Town's grill. It's closed, but we can hear Strong Sad's voice from within.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, hello? Can anybody hear me? The Cheat has a really nice place in here. And none of his shirts fit me.

''{Cut back to the Compy, with Strong Bad sitting at it as before.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*You can click on the words "[[Homestar Runner's Website]]" to see a quick peek at it. This can only be done between when he reads the words and when he says "Homestar has a website?"
[[Image:Tire madness.png|thumb|Only on Pay Per View!!!]]
*After you wait and see what happened to Strong Sad, you can click on the reflection of Strong Bad's blue diamond to see the advertisement for the "Rematch" between Strong Mad and the [[Tire]].
:''{Cut to black screen.}''
:'''VOICEOVER:''' Revenge.
:''{Everything he says echoes ridiculously. The word "REVENGE" appears in red on the screen and Strong Mad is seen on the left, half-lit. He then disappears.}''
:'''VOICEOVER:''' Vengeance.
:''{The word "VENGEANCE" is now seen on the screen and the Tire, as with Strong Mad, appears half-lit on the right. It also disappears.}''
:'''VOICEOVER:''' Vengeful.
:''{The word "VENGEFUL" appears and Strong Mad appears as before, more briefly this time.}''
:'''VOICEOVER:''' Revengeanceful.
:''{The word "REVENGEANCEFUL" appears and the Tire reappears and disappears as before. Then Strong Mad is seen straight on, coming closer to the screen.}''
:'''VOICEOVER:''' This Sunday, watch as Strong Mad attempts to reclaim the title—
:''{Title belts appear around Strong Mad's eyes, and his face starts fading into red}''
:'''VOICEOVER:''' —from Strong Badia heavyweight champion,—
:''{The whole screen turns red and the Tire appears on the screen, growing toward us.}''
:'''VOICEOVER:''' —the Tire. Tire Madness.
:''{A red Tire Madness logo appears, flashes, and explodes onto the screen, which briefly turns yellow, then reverts to red.}''
:'''VOICEOVER:''' Only on pay per view.
:''{The words "ONLY ON PAY PER VIEW!!!" flash in yellow at the bottom.}''

==Fun Facts==

===Trivia===

*The note on the photograph presumably given to Van Mundegaarde reads:
<blockquote>To My Main Man 
Van Mundegaarde, 
Keep Rocking it [[1987]]-style. 
-Strong 
Bad</blockquote>

*The full text of the letter the Cinder Block writes is:
<blockquote>Dear Stop Sign, 
You are a stop sign and I am a 
cinder block. Therefore I think 
we should break up. I hope we 
can still be's friends. 
 
Love Always, 
Cinder Block</blockquote>

*It's been confirmed that E. Fullmer's first initial stands for "Elder" Fullmer, indicating that he is about to become a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also known as the Mormon church). This could explain why he will be going on a two-year trip and will not be able to check the website, as that is how long young men serve as LDS missionaries, and they are discouraged from surfing the Internet during that time.
*The Homestar portrait on his website is done using the [[Wikipedia:Repoussé and chasing|repoussé]] technique.

===Remarks===

*The [[No Loafing Sign|No Loafing]] sign can be seen when Strong Bad finds The Cheat in the dryer, though the sign is known to be located in the Computer Room.
*This email was released in September 2003, so the changes Strong Bad mentions should have come into fruition by 2005. To date, however, none of these predictions have panned out.
*The fact that Strong Sad says "The Cheat has a really nice place in here" while he is in [[The King of Town's grill]] (and the fact that he fits in it at all) can confirm that The King's grill is [[Wikipedia:TARDIS|much more spacious on the inside than it looks.]]

===Inside References===

*The music that plays when the Cinder Block's note is displayed is the same music that played in [[A Decemberween Pageant]] when Marzipan was talking to The Cheat (right after Strong Bad had said, "There's a squid.") and, later, in [[pom pom]] when Strong Bad is writing the letter to [[Pom Pom]]'s parents.
*The Cinder Block's note marks the first instance of [[be's]].
*Strong Sad's being in [[The King of Town's Grill]] is a reference to [[Where's The Cheat?]].
* Coach Z's line "I'm taking a leak!" is a reference to [[peeing]].

===Real-World References===

*The "Tire Madness" logo is similar to the logo that the now-defunct [[Wikipedia:World Championship Wrestling|World Championship Wrestling (WCW)]] organization used.

===Fast Forward===
*The Cheat ends up in the dryer again in [[lady fan]].
*That glossy autographed photo of Strong Bad appears again in [[Strongest Man in the World]].
*The championship belt re-appears as a costume item in [[Homestar Ruiner]].
*In [[virus]], Strong Bad contradicts this email by saying his main man is Edgar from the [[Edgarware]] program.
*In [[Baddest of the Bands]], a mural is painted on the fence.
*In [[fan club]], the Deleteheads membership card shown is signed by Strong Bad's main man Van Mundegaarde.

== DVD Version ==
*The Homestar's website Easter egg is actually part of the email. When you switch the angle using the angle button on your DVD remote, it pops up like a regular webpage window and sticks around for ten or fifteen seconds.
*The Cheat in the Dryer and Strong Sad in the Grill Easter eggs have now been separated. You can now find Strong Sad by selecting a hidden Strong Bad icon in the lower-left corner of the Compy 386 screen.

HRWiki:Changing username

CoachX — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 15:07:34 GMT

CoachX:

The user name users choose for themselves is no longer set in stone. On request, [[HRWiki:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]] can change user account settings and article histories such that all previous edits of a given user are attributed to the new name using [[Special:Renameuser]]. Note: You must make the request from the account you want renamed; anonymous requests (except users whose usernames begin with a lowercase letter and therefore cannot log in) are ignored for security reasons.
==Requesting a change==

To change your user name, please make your request on this page. Please follow the procedure carefully or your request will not be fulfilled.

===Instructions===

#Check if the new name you want does not exist ([[Special:Listusers]]). '''Do not create an account under the new name'''. ''(If you already created the new account, don't worry. We can do some stuff and fix it, but it's still recommended that you don't.)''
#Sign in with the account that you want renamed.
#:''Of course, this is not possible if your account has a lowercase first letter. If you can't log in, then skip this step.''
#Add your request to the '''bottom''' of the section below. Use the following template: <code><nowiki>{{renameuser|Old username|New username}}</nowiki></code>
#Once your request is dealt with, all edits from your old account will be reattributed to your new account.
#Move and redirect your user page and talk page to the new name if it has not already been done.

==Current requests==
<div style="background:#FFC;text-align:center;border:1px solid #CC9">'''Please use this template for new requests: <tt><nowiki>{{renameuser|Old username|New username}}</nowiki></tt>'''</div>

=== Peter222 ===
{{renameuser|Peter222|Peter22}}
I don't really like my username. To many 2's. If you get rid of one it'll bother me less. Thank you.{{User:Peter222/sig}}
:On your user page, you state "I also despise my username", which says to me that you would not want to be stuck with Peter22. In order to avoid having to change your name a second time, I'm just going to wait till you come up with something you like as opposed to something that doesn't bother you as much. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:53, 15 June 2008 (UTC)::The excessive two's are the only reasons I dislike it. If I have one less I'd be fine with it and probably wouldn't change it again. Peter22 would not bother me at all.{{User:Peter222/sig}}
:::That's not what you said above. Your signature is just "Peter", so how about that? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:16, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

===MICGAGUH===
{{renameuser|MICGAGUH|The Username Searcher}}
Make the color of mine red, yellow, blue and purple. [[User:MICGAGUH]]
: <s>Um, wrong page. Try [[HRWiki:Signature]].</s> That was written when this looked like a simple request for a sig, but I don't know that putting in all the periods really helps anything. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:21, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
::Yeah, this is for changing the actual ''username''. For what comes up when you type "<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>", then you can ask anybody, or change it yourself anytime. But only Bureaucrats can change your username. {{User:Thy Not Dennis/sig}} 19:32, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
Well, Mr. I Can't Get A Good Username Here, instead of adding periods to your name, why don't we come up with a ''good'' username for you instead. Having to enter all those periods when you log in or when someone mentions you by name would probably get real old real fast. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:29, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
:Okay how about The Username Searcher? [[User:MICGAGUH]]
::MICGAGUH, you have the opportunity to ''think'' for a while about your username, and you should take this opportunity to do that. You don't ''have'' to have a username that implies you can't get a good username. Unless that's what you really want, in which case, I can't change it. But say so and a Bureaucrat will. {{User:Thy Not Dennis/sig}} 15:16, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
:::Uh, what's a Bureaucrat? [[User:MICGAGUH]]
::::I'm a bureaucrat, but that's really not important. What ''is'' important is that you need to pick an actual name if you expect it to get changed. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:05, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
:::::I already got user files on Wikipedia and the Super Mario Wiki! I'm not saying who, but I'm not using those names! [[User:MICGAGUH]]
::::::Why not? I have a Wikipedia account and my user name there is similar to my user name here (not identical because it's too common and someone else already claimed it, but similar enough.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:54, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
:::::::Also, who cares what your names are there. The only thing that's relevant here is tht you pick an actual name for this wiki. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:46, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
::::::::If you really want me to, change into Freakazoid or fight King Hippo in Punch-Out!! Wii [[User: MICGAGUH]]
:::::::::Pick the one you want. Change the template at the top of this thread. Be aware that I'm not going to change your name more than once, so be sure you like what you go with. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:40, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

===E.L. Cool===
{{renameuser|E.L. Cool|Elcool}}
No one called me E.L. Cool in a long time. Also, I switched to the shorter form on most other sites. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 21:18, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
:Done. I don't think I've ever tested changing a sysop's name before. It should be fine, but let me know if anything went awry permissions-wise. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:22, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
::Thank you! Looks like everything is in place. Even tried to delete a page and it's all cool. My sig is literally on almost every talk page. Should that stay, or can some bot fix it? {{User:Elcool/sig}} 07:40, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
:::There's no need to fix it en masse, especially since this was less of a name change and more of just a style change. Better and easier to just let the redirect do its thing. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:35, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

===Homestar-winner===
{{renameuser|Homestar-winner|Homestar-Winner}}
I think it looks better. And that's about it. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 04:41, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
:Done. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:22, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
::Thanks, DC! But now I'm having trouble logging in on Firefox for some reason: [http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll142/Winnuh/Picture7.png?t=1255193889 See?] When I type in "Homestar-Winner" is loads as "Homestar-winner". Now I'm logged in using Safari. Do you has the solution? {{User:Homestar-Winner/sig}} 17:03, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
:::Clear your cache? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:18, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
::::Or your dns cache? (Windows: in CMD, '''ipconfig /flushdns''' -- Linux/Ubuntu: [http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-clearflush-dns-cache-in-ubuntu.html Click Here]) {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 17:34, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
:::::Hey, DC, no matter what I do, it still keeps logging me in as "Homestar-winner" in Firefox. If it isn't too much trouble, could you maybe change my user name back to "Homestar-winner" so I can start editing in Firefox again? That has been the reason why I haven't made many edits lately... {{User:Homestar-Winner/sig}} 16:08, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
::::::Instead of just treating the symptom, I think we should try to figure out what the problem is instead. Close all Firefox tabs except for a blank one. Go to Tools > Clear Recent History. Choose Everything from the drop-down menu and make sure all the checkboxes are checked. Then press Clear Now. Close Firefox, and for good measure restart your computer. Then try again. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:58, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

:<s>Tom, you're a step ahead of me. I came here to make a similar note. I'm not sure I ever imagined we'd reach a thousand articles back when I started this wiki. Good jorb, everyone! — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 21:19, 12 May 2005 (UTC)</s>

Actually, this isn't the thousandth page. A few pages that were created before this one have since been deleted, making [[Fonts]] the official thousandth article. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 18:16, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

:Sorry, but yeah it is. See my comment at [[Talk:Fonts#Thousandth article]] for clarification. I'm also going to remove the strike-though that was added to my comment above, since I didn't retract it or anything like that.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:41, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

== Albino Blacksheep ==

In a new Flash game on albinoblacksheep.com, parodying Everquest, one of the characters has a "Summoning" ability which can be used to summon Trogdor the Burninator. I'm not sure, however, if this should go under Games or Animation...
:Well it's a game, so it should go under games. Makes sense to me. {{User:phlip/sig}} 00:46, 26 Jul 2005 (UTC)
Kay then. I will. thanks.

Ok, not sure if this counts as a good enough sighting or not, but in World of Warcraft there is possible another sighting, in the Barrens there is an Ogre called Jorb. Do you think this counts? - P

== Delete Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas? ==

''Driving around Las Venturas, one can find a "Bub's Hardware." The sign also seems to say something about "Cheats." A map is included here.''

*This seems like a stretch. All the other examples are clear references, or at least very likely to be, but this one could easily be pure coincidence. Anybody else think it should be deleted? {{User:Bill/sig}} 21:59, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
:I noticed this a while ago, too. I'm pretty sure it's a total stretch. Bub and Cheat are common words. It's not even "Bubs", it's "Bub". - {{User:Joshua/sig}}

heres the picture

http://starbase.globalpc.net/~bhz/strongbad/images/trogdar.jpg

does it count?

It is only one letter off (a/o), and too much of a coincidence if one, so I think it does.
-Zyborg

"These elves give me the creeps" made me think of the Jibblies, but I know there's no reffrence in that. Although the Trogdar is 100% definet. -[[User: Ben Again|Ben Again]]

:Nope. The game was released in July 2002 and the email [[dragon]] came out in January 2003. Last time I checked, Blizzard, while awesome, was not capable of time travel. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 13:29, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
::Well, I see this scene is from the Frozen Throne expansion, which ''did'' come out after the email. Still, the beta for that started less than a month after the email came out. I suppose it's possible they changed this guys name during the last couple of weeks of game development, but it still seems very unlikely. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 13:51, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

== Xgen reference ==

theres a TGS reference when you play stick arena

(username) iron chef'd (username)

can it count?--[[User:Ed500|Ed500]] 07:06, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Probably, if it isn't a player. If it is a CPU, then I would think so.
-Zyborg

It does. There is no AI and this applies for anyone who kills someone with a katana. there a 1 in 3 chance of that popping up. [[User:Ed500|Ed500]]

==American Wasteland Squad!==
Okay, is this a real sighting? Either the producers of the game were obsessed with TGS, [[The Brothers Chaps|TBC]] helped design the game, or the entry is bogus. Can some one help me out? -[[User:Marth 99|Marth 99]] 22:33, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
:I have no way of proving it for you, but it doesn't sound too unlikely to me. Mostly because of the "Late 360" etc., which was a skateboarding allusion to begin with. And the sightings in the other Tony Hawk game above add credibility. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 22:39, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
::I actually have the game myself, so I should probably play it and see for myself before complaining. (Side note: I actually noticed the Limozeen sighting in THUG 1, but i thought it coincidence. -[[User:Marth 99|Marth 99]] 22:41, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

== Vampire the Masquerade:Bloodlines ==

When buying fuel for the flame thrower, the fuel is called "Burninator brand".-Hitokiri Akins

==Kingdom Hearts II ==

In Kingdom Hearts II, when fighting the Hydra, there is a reaction command called Urninator. This is only one letter off from Burninator. Think I should add it?
- Zyborg 4/13/06
(Edit: The strategy guide said Everybody to the Limit, not the manual. Although, the strategy guide is most likely official. I'll add the Urninator to the page, delete if necessary.)

I checked Amazon for strategy guides for Kingdom Hearts II. I found out that the guide is made by BradyGames, not Square Enix(the company that makes KH2). The Everybody to the Limit reference in the strategy guide should really go under books instead.

Though I think the Urninator reference might be legit. The Hydra ''is'' a dragon, just like ol' Troggie.
:[[Other Sightings]], then. We don't have a "books" section. Maybe magazines? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Killer7 ==

*I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is NOT a reference; seeing as Gouichi Suda has an obsession with lucha libre in general, it's not surprising that Yoon-Hyun's mask looks like Strong Bad's. It's a coincidence. [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 07:52, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

== Fully Ramblomatic ==

Two of the games on this site have obvious H*R refernces. First off, Adventures in the Galaxy of Fantabulous Wonderment has one of them. About a third of the way through the game, one of your redshirts is zapped by a lazer security system thing and says, "Ow! My most of me!"

Secondly, the special edition of 7 Days a Skeptic. If you go to the captain's console and type in 'Pasta Sauce', it shows a "How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves" email. Remember, this is the special edition and does not work with the normal one.

Figured you guys would want to know

:Well, in that case, add them onto the article. You're welcome to do so. This is why we have a wiki! {{User:The Chort/sig}} 16:26, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

== SSBM ==

Can someone confirm this? I honestly don't think it's real, Homestar had a small fanbase at the time of its release.

==toontown==

in toontown online 1 of the npc in donalds dock wants you to call him choche(sp?) z.
any iders?

== Alchmist's Apprentice ==

There's a new online game called [http://fizzlebot.com/gdc1/cgdc1.php?puzzleID=7 Alchemist's Apprentice] that has an item called "whatsit" described thusly: "This soft, sticky, stinky substance is an excellent fertilizer and chief projectile weapon of simians."

I've never heard reference to "whatsit" outside of HomestarRunner.com, but I could be wrong, and I don't know how to properly edit this page. Is this a reference?
*Well, I've certainly never heard of "whatsit" describing excrement outside of H*R, and the quote certainly suggests that meaning. Searching Wikipedia for "whatsit" brings you to a disambiguation page that doesn't mention that definition, so I'd say it's a reference. -[[User:Unknownwarrior33|Unknownwarrior33]] 02:03, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

== Guitar Hero II ==
Wait until it comes out. Mmm... I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG!!!

:Actually, I just found undeniable, unquestionable proof that justifies adding GHII to the list before release. And that...is video footage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKW5ngFNHJo&mode=user&search=

::See [[Trogdor (song)#Trivia]]. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 23:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

I just watched the X-Play Review of Guitar Hero II on the Xbox 360, and what they had was a final copy, obviously, and they showed a section that showed a downladed track (the section was called "Downloaded Songs") called "Rodgort"....is this a reference to Trogdor?

==Dead Rising Decline==
Dead Rising's HomeRunner's Shoes is more of a reference to the baseball term, rather than Homestar Runner.--[[User:Reign of Trogdor|Reign of Trogdor]] 05:25, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

== Diner Dash - Flo on the Go ==
[[Image:Diner_dash_3_-_everybody_to_the_limit.png|thumb|To the limit AND the moon]]
well i saw this while i was checking out the secret levels for this game...

will this count? — [[User:Yoshi mgs|Yoshi mgs]] ([[User talk:Yoshi mgs|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Yoshi mgs|contribs]]) Yoshi mgs (left [[HRWiki:Standards#Do sign your Talk posts|unsigned]])
:I'd buy it. Between the [[Everybody to the Limit]] and [[personal favourites|the moon]] refs, it sounds plausible. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
{{clear}}

Also, if you notice, the first level is called "Date Night" Which might be a refrence to the H*R cartoon of the same name [[date night|This'n]]. but that might be a stretch.

==H*R Shirt==

A character in Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam wears a top suspiciously similar to Homestar's. Since the other Tony game-sightings, will this count? [[User:Marvelrulez|Marvelrulez]]

:Depends. What's the shirt look like? Any webpage where we can see it? {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 18:55, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[http://reviews.cnet.com/Tony_Hawk_s_Downhill_Jam_Wii/4528-9993_7-31884289-7.html?tag=ssht The best I could find.] [[User:Marvelrulez|Marvelrulez]]

:Ah, da da da da DA-A!! So confused... what to think?? Hot Homestar?!? My brain is splitting in half! {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 15:45, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Is that a yes? [[User:Marvelrulez|Marvelrulez]]

Lets just say its a yes {{User:Mr_nutt/sig}}

== Full Auto 2 versions ==

I added the reference for Full Auto 2, but I can only be sure that it's in the PSP version. I know the PSP and PS3 versions of the game are very different, so I specified which version. Is it in both versions? -[[User:Unknownwarrior33|Unknownwarrior33]] 02:01, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
== Baleeted ==

Two things:

-I added the Crackdown Double Deuce thing.
-I deleted the Dead or Alive 4 thing. Why? Because that was the signature of whoever this person was fighting at the time. You see, when fighting over Xbox Live your opponents Sig will appear as the message in the Gamblers Paradise stage. This might not be clear. Maybe someone could clarify for all the beautiful peoples? (However, that ''is'' a nice find)
-[[User:Dwigt|Dwigt]] 01:34, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

== Sam & Max ==

about a month back I've added a refrence to Sam & Max Ep.5, see
http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Game_Sightings&oldid=442179#Sam_.26_Max:_Reality_2.0
This however was removed by user Shwoo stating "it might be a coinicidence".
I did not wan't to spoil too much of the game, so I didn't go into specifics, but in fact the "character" which I quoted was, in fact an Arcade machine, which I think strengthens the fact that this is a refrence to the site.
On a side note, the whole episode is Internet/computer/Video game centric, filled with references such as "It's-a me, Sam!" and so.
Please reconsider adding it to the sightings section. [[User:84.108.73.241|84.108.73.241]] 18:47, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
:I've looked at it and have concluded that it's not a valid reference. It says "Your goggles explode! Game Over!", but the reason why I feel it isn't a reference is because a) it's grammatically correct, unlike "Your head a splode", and b) if it really was a reference, it would have been "a splode", not "explode". {{User:The Chort/sig}} 19:29, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

== Does Postal 2 count? ==

I am not cautious due to the extremely offensive nature of the game, but rather because the Homestar Runner references are only included in a fanmade expansion mod. However, the publisher of the game has included this mod in a commercial compilation. Would this be eligible for inclusion?

:Personally, I don't think so. This strikes me as a page for references by full-time developers, not people who love a game and have a bit of programming skill. I could personally mod a game and release it, but I doubt it'd be included here. But that's just my personal opinion, I feel it ought to get approval or disproval from someone higher thought of here.--[[User:Gaeamil|Gaeamil]] 12:05, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

== Portal ==

Valve's game of Portal, recently released, contains, in the room of the final fight (on the left when you enter the room), there is a red telephone. The receiver is disconnected, about 2 inches from the receiver itself, almost exactly like the phones in the H*R universe. I can upload a picture of it to my personal site if you want to see it. Not entirely sure if it really is a reference, but it certainly struck me as one, hence the discussion before inclusion.--[[User:Gaeamil|Gaeamil]] 11:50, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
:I really doubt its a reference. The phone cord is cut for plot reasons. (I won't give away those plot reasons right now, but I can if necessary.) -[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 12:28, 20 December 2007 (UTC).
::Yeah, I see that. Also, I was thinking it was because of technological reasons, ie, the HL2 engine. Since you could pick up the receiver, the cord would be incredibly inconvenient to program in. Again, that's why I put it in discussion rather than on the page. But, it's still possible, and only the people at Valve can tell us for sure.--[[User:Gaeamil|Gaeamil]] 13:08, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

== Red Steel ==

In the Wii game Red Steel, when you enter a name, all of the lowercase letters look like a smaller-font uppercase letter -- except for the I, which gets a dot. Reference to the way it's written on H*R?--[[User:Gaeamil|Gaeamil]] (Not logged in)
:I agree with this being added, the entire font of red steel is capitals and lover case i {{unsigned|88.106.47.62}}

== StargateWars ==

A result of a battle in StargateWars, an MMORPG, can be that you burninated the enemy. Is this a reference? If it is, it should be added.

== Halo-star Runner? ==
Uh... about the recent [[Game Sightings#Halo|Halo]] reference, is this notable? If my research is correct, Halo came out in 2001, which was probably before the character videos were made. Maybe H*R is instead referencing Halo-or its just a coincidence. Thoughts? Guys? Grapity? {{User:DevonM/sig}} 21:30, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
: The [[Character Videos]] are from 2003. '''DELETED!!!''' There we go. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:35, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

== 1942 Joint Strike ==

I don't know... Is the quote "shoot-em-up" good enough? I got the demo for the game, and a short info blip it forces you to read at the beginning says:

"The popular 80's arcade franchise is back! 1948 Joint Strike combines classic '''shoot-em-up''' gameplay with 3D HD graphics. Rejoin the battle" (Bold text not form quoted text; used to show reffrence)

-[[User: Ben Again|Ben Again]]

:Way too common of a phrase. It even has it's own [[Wikipedia:Shoot_'em_up|wikipedia]] entry. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 13:35, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

== It's not a reference (Animal Crossing) ==

Just because a neighbour's name is Pom Pom doesn't mean it's a reference. Someone being named something unusual, like Coach Zee, or Homsar or Senor Cardgage would be a reference. By that logic, maybe we should make a "Real Life Sightings" and say that the things that cheerleaders use are called pom poms. And then we should say that them being called "cheerleaders" is a reference to Teen Girl Squad. And just tacking "'D!" onto the end of something isn't a reference. This needs to be changed. [[User:Shadoman|Shadoman]] 11:03, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

== Spore: Troglor (Trogdor) Made by the company. ==

I have Spore and one of the monsters on the sporepedia made by Maxis is Troglor, who looks alot like Tro''g''dor.
--{{User:HR1FANJ/sig}}. 11:25, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

== Banjo-Tooie ==

Edit was removed because "Banjo-Tooie predates Homestar Runner's rise to fame." In fact, Banjo-Tooie was released in North America eleven months and some days after the launching of the homestarrunner.com. More than a year for Europe.
:They don't release a game the moment it's done though. Besides, it predates Homestar Runner's ''rise to fame''. The producers at Rare, which is a British company, wouldn't have heard of a small cartoon being done in Georgia since HSR grew through word of mouth. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 22:54, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
:: "They don't release a game the moment it's done though." I'm sorry, I don't understand that sentence. There is also no edvidence that the developers at Rare didn't know about HR. Just because Rare is based in the UK and HR in Georgia does not mean that "word of mouth" couldn't be in the United Kingdom. As far as I know, the internet works based on being able to send and recieve signals from cables and satelites, not from being '''close''' to where is something is happening. For example, I knew about an Austrailian videogame review show, that grew from word of mouth, from the very begining, and I live 12,000km away from Australia! Therefore, you nor anyone else has conclusive evidence that Homestar's presence was not in the United Kingdom by 2000.
::: It certainly wasn't ''popular'' in 2000. Anyway, the reference was concerning the word "[[Wikipedia:Marzipan|Marzipan]]". Follow that link if you want to see why it probably wasn't a reference. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:44, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
::: PS. What Bluebry meant is that games do not just appear out of the aether. They take time to develop. --{{User:Jay/sig}} again.
:::: Certainly games take time, but look at the way games are developed. The functions such as walking, jumping, running, attacking, ect. are programed first. The Levels second. Story last. Because the quiz where the refrence is made is based on all the story so far, it is likely that it was one of the last things added, early to mid 2000. Most likely a Rare employ just said, "Oh bugger, I've got a deadline so I'll just add this question and make one of the answers a refrence to some website some Yankes showed to me." While an arguement that the Marzipan refrenced is indeed the culanary item, that dosen't follow Banjo-Tooie's humor. Most of Banjo-Tooie's humor was referential. For examble there is a [[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong (character)|Donkey Kong]] doll, a [[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong 64]] logo, [[Wikipedia:Ash Ketchum]]'s hat, the internet, among others. Most of these are from the late 90s or early 2000s. Given that a large amout of humour was based off this time period, and that many people worked on this game, and that HR was spread by word of mouth, leads us to conclude that there is a ''plausible'' chance of the refrence being from the character
::::: But even if I accept that it is plausible (which I still don't, for the record), you still have not managed to show that it ''is'' likely to be a reference. There's no connection besides the usage of the word "marzipan", which is a real word. That's not enough. If there was a character who said something like "By Marzipan's blonde ponytail!", or Kazooie made a remark like "Gosh, you're a dirtier hippie than Marzipan!", then ''that'' would clearly be a reference. This? Not. Sorry. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:29, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

==Persona 4 reference==
The Persona 4 reference I added, which was a mention of "the jibblies", was removed for the following reason:

(that word was not invented here. it is unlikely a reference)

...it wasn't? I know ''I'' had never heard of it before H*R, and not very often after.
I don't want to start an edit/revert war, but I would like to get some thoughts from other uses. Do "jibblies" constitute a reference?
-[[User:GG Crono|GG Crono]] 19:58, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
:No. Plain and simple, H*R did not invent the word. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:01, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
::Are you sure about that, DeFender1031? According to the {{p|l=http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=jibblies Urban Dictionary}} they did. I know that website cannot be trusted as a source, but can you find a source that proves that it was not created on HomestarRunner.com? {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 23:33, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I'm not aware of any pre-H*R uses of "jibblies" either. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:53, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
::::I was positive I'd heard it long before H*R. Or at least in normal conversation. That being said, google disagrees with me. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:15, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

== Animal Crossing: Wild World ==

In Wild world, there is a female duck named Pompom, but, I don't believe it's a reference.
The Duck has the "peppy" personality, which is a reference to cheerleaders who use pompoms.

Yeah, I wouldn't say its a reference unless she talked in bubbles. *laughs* [[User:Homsartifact124|~Homsartifact124]] 20:42, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

== Breath of Fire 2 retranslation. ==

Not sure if fan (re)translations count, but Breath of Fire 2 for SNES was recently... well, fan re-translated. And I've already counted no fewer than three possible H*R references...

1) When you're taking Bosch (Bow in the original) in the trashcan to Township, after popping out, he comments that he was "[[the chair|upgraded to 'stank']]".

2) A sign outside Wyndia beckons travellers to "[[Blubb-O's Commercial|come the heck down]]" to Whale Cape. Sounds innocent enough, but given it's related, in-game, to a *whale*... ehem... [[Drive-Thru Whale|Well...]]

3) In the Wise Tree's mind, an old man who tries to teleport you out and makes a mistake... after talking to him again, though, he says he'll teleport you out again... "[[KOT's VOQPCS!|for reals this time]]". That one's a bit dubious, but given the other two... it's probably intentional.

And... there're probably more. I'm not actually that far. The latter of them came from a friend of mine, who just flies through games. So... yeah. I can provide screenshots if anyone wants proof. Again, dunno if this counts, but eh, figured I'd mention it anyhow. (Also, forgive me if anyone brought this up already. I didn't do a thorough search or anything.) -{{User:YK/sig}} 18:57, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

You forgot where Bosch says "[[rock opera|When have I ever backed down from a bad idea?]]" after he agrees to sneak into Trout's house a second time. Also, hi there.

I only wish I could've included more references to the Drive-Thru Whale in relation to Whale Cape...there's a line in the script where someone asks you to buy a Bunwhale, saying "It's not like I'm asking you to sever your leg!"...but strangely enough, I couldn't find it in my alpha playthrough. Ah, well.--[[User:Ryusui|Ryusui]] 08:53, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

== Trogdor the P0wninator ==
[[Image:Trogdor Runescape.jpg|thumb|right|Trogdor's lookalike suffering one damage]]
http://www.tip.it/runescape/mon2/Yt-MejKot.gif http://www.zybez.net/img/npcimg/yt-mejkot180.gif

A high powered monster that looks and acts suspiciously like Trogdor appears in the Runescape Minigame: Fight Caves. Its name is Yet-MajKot and it is a dragon-thing. It is S shaped, it shoots fire, it has spinities (some of which look like wings and a beefy arm). It is even mentioned on runescape.wikia.org article that he looks like ol' Troggy. I have managed to provide an image. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 20:46, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

:Hmmmm. Apart from the vague S shape it has and the fact it's standing on two legs, it doesn't really look anything like Trogdor to me. It doesn't have a single beefy arm, it doesn't have many consummate V's on its body and it's not even green. By using similar logic, you could argue that any dragon able to stand on its hind legs is a rip-off of Trogdor, if you ignore the fact that Trogdor is unlikely to have been the first bipedal dragon ever. So that dragon looks way too generic to be a homage to me. (By the way, does it have only one not-so-beefy arm?) {{User:The Chort/sig}} 16:35, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

::I don't really see any clear reference to Trogdor either, especially when looked at from a couple of different angles. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 20:00, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

::: I have a confession: I was the one who put that on the wikia. I don't know if that is fair, but either way I have since removed the fact and left a memo to my own post on the talk page. Rest in peace: Trodor the P0wninator. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 19:57, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

== Runescape. For reals this time. ==

Out of compulsion, I searched for "Homestar" on the Runescape wiki and came up with three, count 'em, THREE results. The first is for the non-player-character Gjalp, whose examine text says "Behold her beefy arms". Not that strong of a reference, but moivng on: the Strang Object, when lit, will say "A strange little parcel. On fire." The interjection of "On fire" seems to refer to caffine. The last, weakest one is your character will mispronoune the princess's name as Marzipan. The only thing that suggest that this refers to her and not the food and Chowder location is that this quest was made when Marzipan was considered to be Princess of Town. After searching for H*R keywords I ound nothing more. Seriously. I didn't make these this time. I really found them. My username in Momo Mooman, and if you search the page history you'll see no mention of my username. Seriously. For reals. I know that from last time I stated something blatently incorrect, but this time I did my homework. This is for real. Hopefully.--[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 17:03, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

==Kingdom Hearts II ==

In Kingdom Hearts II, when fighting the Hydra, there is a reaction command called Urninator. This is only one letter off from Burninator. Think I should add it?
- Zyborg 4/13/06
(Edit: The strategy guide said Everybody to the Limit, not the manual. Although, the strategy guide is most likely official. I'll add the Urninator to the page, delete if necessary.)

I checked Amazon for strategy guides for Kingdom Hearts II. I found out that the guide is made by BradyGames, not Square Enix(the company that makes KH2). The Everybody to the Limit reference in the strategy guide should really go under books instead.

Though I think the Urninator reference might be legit. The Hydra ''is'' a dragon, just like ol' Troggie.

== Fully Ramblomatic ==

Two of the games on this site have obvious H*R refernces. First off, Adventures in the Galaxy of Fantabulous Wonderment has one of them. About a third of the way through the game, one of your redshirts is zapped by a lazer security system thing and says, "Ow! My most of me!"

Secondly, the special edition of 7 Days a Skeptic. If you go to the captain's console and type in 'Pasta Sauce', it shows a "How Do You Type With Boxing Gloves" email. Remember, this is the special edition and does not work with the normal one.

== Alchmist's Apprentice ==

There's a new online game called [http://fizzlebot.com/gdc1/cgdc1.php?puzzleID=7 Alchemist's Apprentice] that has an item called "whatsit" described thusly: "This soft, sticky, stinky substance is an excellent fertilizer and chief projectile weapon of simians."

I've never heard reference to "whatsit" outside of HomestarRunner.com, but I could be wrong, and I don't know how to properly edit this page. Is this a reference?
*Well, I've certainly never heard of "whatsit" describing excrement outside of H*R, and the quote certainly suggests that meaning. Searching Wikipedia for "whatsit" brings you to a disambiguation page that doesn't mention that definition, so I'd say it's a reference. -[[User:Unknownwarrior33|Unknownwarrior33]] 02:03, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

about a month back I've added a refrence to Sam & Max Ep.5, see
http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Game_Sightings&oldid=442179#Sam_.26_Max:_Reality_2.0
This however was removed by user Shwoo stating "it might be a coinicidence".
I did not wan't to spoil too much of the game, so I didn't go into specifics, but in fact the "character" which I quoted was, in fact an Arcade machine, which I think strengthens the fact that this is a refrence to the site.
On a side note, the whole episode is Internet/computer/Video game centric, filled with references such as "It's-a me, Sam!" and so.
Please reconsider adding it to the sightings section. [[User:84.108.73.241|84.108.73.241]] 18:47, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
:I've looked at it and have concluded that it's not a valid reference. It says "Your goggles explode! Game Over!", but the reason why I feel it isn't a reference is because a) it's grammatically correct, unlike "Your head a splode", and b) if it really was a reference, it would have been "a splode", not "explode". {{User:The Chort/sig}} 19:29, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

== Does Postal 2 count? ==

I am not cautious due to the extremely offensive nature of the game, but rather because the Homestar Runner references are only included in a fanmade expansion mod. However, the publisher of the game has included this mod in a commercial compilation. Would this be eligible for inclusion?

:Personally, I don't think so. This strikes me as a page for references by full-time developers, not people who love a game and have a bit of programming skill. I could personally mod a game and release it, but I doubt it'd be included here. But that's just my personal opinion, I feel it ought to get approval or disproval from someone higher thought of here.--[[User:Gaeamil|Gaeamil]] 12:05, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

== Portal ==

Valve's game of Portal, recently released, contains, in the room of the final fight (on the left when you enter the room), there is a red telephone. The receiver is disconnected, about 2 inches from the receiver itself, almost exactly like the phones in the H*R universe. I can upload a picture of it to my personal site if you want to see it. Not entirely sure if it really is a reference, but it certainly struck me as one, hence the discussion before inclusion.--[[User:Gaeamil|Gaeamil]] 11:50, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
:I really doubt its a reference. The phone cord is cut for plot reasons. (I won't give away those plot reasons right now, but I can if necessary.) -[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 12:28, 20 December 2007 (UTC).
::Yeah, I see that. Also, I was thinking it was because of technological reasons, ie, the HL2 engine. Since you could pick up the receiver, the cord would be incredibly inconvenient to program in. Again, that's why I put it in discussion rather than on the page. But, it's still possible, and only the people at Valve can tell us for sure.--[[User:Gaeamil|Gaeamil]] 13:08, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

== Red Steel ==

== StargateWars ==

A result of a battle in StargateWars, an MMORPG, can be that you burninated the enemy. Is this a reference? If it is, it should be added.

== Halo-star Runner? ==
Uh... about the recent [[Game Sightings#Halo|Halo]] reference, is this notable? If my research is correct, Halo came out in 2001, which was probably before the character videos were made. Maybe H*R is instead referencing Halo-or its just a coincidence. Thoughts? Guys? Grapity? {{User:DevonM/sig}} 21:30, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

== 1942 Joint Strike ==

I don't know... Is the quote "shoot-em-up" good enough? I got the demo for the game, and a short info blip it forces you to read at the beginning says:

"The popular 80's arcade franchise is back! 1948 Joint Strike combines classic '''shoot-em-up''' gameplay with 3D HD graphics. Rejoin the battle" (Bold text not form quoted text; used to show reffrence)

-[[User: Ben Again|Ben Again]]

:Way too common of a phrase. It even has it's own [[Wikipedia:Shoot_'em_up|wikipedia]] entry. {{User:GreenHelmet/sig}} 13:35, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

== It's not a reference (Animal Crossing) ==

Just because a neighbour's name is Pom Pom doesn't mean it's a reference. Someone being named something unusual, like Coach Zee, or Homsar or Senor Cardgage would be a reference. By that logic, maybe we should make a "Real Life Sightings" and say that the things that cheerleaders use are called pom poms. And then we should say that them being called "cheerleaders" is a reference to Teen Girl Squad. And just tacking "'D!" onto the end of something isn't a reference. This needs to be changed.

== Banjo-Tooie ==

Edit was removed because "Banjo-Tooie predates Homestar Runner's rise to fame." In fact, Banjo-Tooie was released in North America eleven months and some days after the launching of the homestarrunner.com. More than a year for Europe.
:They don't release a game the moment it's done though. Besides, it predates Homestar Runner's ''rise to fame''. The producers at Rare, which is a British company, wouldn't have heard of a small cartoon being done in Georgia since HSR grew through word of mouth. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 22:54, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
:: "They don't release a game the moment it's done though." I'm sorry, I don't understand that sentence. There is also no edvidence that the developers at Rare didn't know about HR. Just because Rare is based in the UK and HR in Georgia does not mean that "word of mouth" couldn't be in the United Kingdom. As far as I know, the internet works based on being able to send and recieve signals from cables and satelites, not from being '''close''' to where is something is happening. For example, I knew about an Austrailian videogame review show, that grew from word of mouth, from the very begining, and I live 12,000km away from Australia! Therefore, you nor anyone else has conclusive evidence that Homestar's presence was not in the United Kingdom by 2000.
::: It certainly wasn't ''popular'' in 2000. Anyway, the reference was concerning the word "[[Wikipedia:Marzipan|Marzipan]]". Follow that link if you want to see why it probably wasn't a reference. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:44, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
::: PS. What Bluebry meant is that games do not just appear out of the aether. They take time to develop. --{{User:Jay/sig}} again.
:::: Certainly games take time, but look at the way games are developed. The functions such as walking, jumping, running, attacking, ect. are programed first. The Levels second. Story last. Because the quiz where the refrence is made is based on all the story so far, it is likely that it was one of the last things added, early to mid 2000. Most likely a Rare employ just said, "Oh bugger, I've got a deadline so I'll just add this question and make one of the answers a refrence to some website some Yankes showed to me." While an arguement that the Marzipan refrenced is indeed the culanary item, that dosen't follow Banjo-Tooie's humor. Most of Banjo-Tooie's humor was referential. For examble there is a [[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong (character)|Donkey Kong]] doll, a [[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong 64]] logo, [[Wikipedia:Ash Ketchum]]'s hat, the internet, among others. Most of these are from the late 90s or early 2000s. Given that a large amout of humour was based off this time period, and that many people worked on this game, and that HR was spread by word of mouth, leads us to conclude that there is a ''plausible'' chance of the refrence being from the character
::::: But even if I accept that it is plausible (which I still don't, for the record), you still have not managed to show that it ''is'' likely to be a reference. There's no connection besides the usage of the word "marzipan", which is a real word. That's not enough. If there was a character who said something like "By Marzipan's blonde ponytail!", or Kazooie made a remark like "Gosh, you're a dirtier hippie than Marzipan!", then ''that'' would clearly be a reference. This? Not. Sorry. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 08:29, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

The Persona 4 reference I added, which was a mention of "the jibblies", was removed for the following reason:

...it wasn't? I know ''I'' had never heard of it before H*R, and not very often after.

== Animal Crossing: Wild World ==

In Wild world, there is a female duck named Pompom, but, I don't believe it's a reference.
The Duck has the "peppy" personality, which is a reference to cheerleaders who use pompoms.

Yeah, I wouldn't say its a reference unless she talked in bubbles. *laughs* [[User:Homsartifact124|~Homsartifact124]] 20:42, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

== Breath of Fire 2 retranslation. ==

Not sure if fan (re)translations count, but Breath of Fire 2 for SNES was recently... well, fan re-translated. And I've already counted no fewer than three possible H*R references...

1) When you're taking Bosch (Bow in the original) in the trashcan to Township, after popping out, he comments that he was "[[the chair|upgraded to 'stank']]".

2) A sign outside Wyndia beckons travellers to "[[Blubb-O's Commercial|come the heck down]]" to Whale Cape. Sounds innocent enough, but given it's related, in-game, to a *whale*... ehem... [[Drive-Thru Whale|Well...]]

3) In the Wise Tree's mind, an old man who tries to teleport you out and makes a mistake... after talking to him again, though, he says he'll teleport you out again... "[[KOT's VOQPCS!|for reals this time]]". That one's a bit dubious, but given the other two... it's probably intentional.

And... there're probably more. I'm not actually that far. The latter of them came from a friend of mine, who just flies through games. So... yeah. I can provide screenshots if anyone wants proof. Again, dunno if this counts, but eh, figured I'd mention it anyhow. (Also, forgive me if anyone brought this up already. I didn't do a thorough search or anything.) -{{User:YK/sig}} 18:57, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

You forgot where Bosch says "[[rock opera|When have I ever backed down from a bad idea?]]" after he agrees to sneak into Trout's house a second time. Also, hi there.

I only wish I could've included more references to the Drive-Thru Whale in relation to Whale Cape...there's a line in the script where someone asks you to buy a Bunwhale, saying "It's not like I'm asking you to sever your leg!"...but strangely enough, I couldn't find it in my alpha playthrough.

A high powered monster that looks and acts suspiciously like Trogdor appears in the Runescape Minigame: Fight Caves. Its name is Yet-MajKot and it is a dragon-thing. It is S shaped, it shoots fire, it has spinities (some of which look like wings and a beefy arm). It is even mentioned on runescape.wikia.org article that he looks like ol' Troggy. I have managed to provide an image. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] 20:46, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

:Hmmmm. Apart from the vague S shape it has and the fact it's standing on two legs, it doesn't really look anything like Trogdor to me. It doesn't have a single beefy arm, it doesn't have many consummate V's on its body and it's not even green. By using similar logic, you could argue that any dragon able to stand on its hind legs is a rip-off of Trogdor, if you ignore the fact that Trogdor is unlikely to have been the first bipedal dragon ever. So that dragon looks way too generic to be a homage to me. (By the way, does it have only one not-so-beefy arm?) {{User:The Chort/sig}} 16:35, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

== Runescape. For reals this time. ==

Out of compulsion, I searched for "Homestar" on the Runescape wiki and came up with three, count 'em, THREE results. The first is for the non-player-character Gjalp, whose examine text says "Behold her beefy arms". Not that strong of a reference, but moivng on: the Strang Object, when lit, will say "A strange little parcel. On fire." The interjection of "On fire" seems to refer to caffine. The last, weakest one is your character will mispronoune the princess's name as Marzipan. The only thing that suggest that this refers to her and not the food and Chowder location is that this quest was made when Marzipan was considered to be Princess of Town. After searching for H*R keywords I ound nothing more. Seriously. I didn't make these this time. I really found them. My username in Momo Mooman, and if you search the page history you'll see no mention of my username. Seriously. For reals. I know that from last time I stated something blatently incorrect, but this time I did my homework. This is for real. Hopefully.--[[User:Jellote|Jellote wuz here]] 17:03, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

:I would be happy to, but tell me a little bit about yourself first. Do you intend to write the subtitles pages yourself, or do you just wish that Turkish was already available? If you mean that you're going to help write them, then why not [[Special:Userlogin|sign up for an account]]? It's free and has many benefits. On the other hand, if you just want to be able to read the site in Turkish, then we'll need to find a translator first. Please let me know.

::Hello, do you remember me? Or an IP starts with 85? Don't remember? Then, look at subtitles requests and choose Turkish(TR) from the navigation menu? Yeah, I did what you say, and it passed some time, but I was looking continually the page whether a reply comes before you reply. And, that's your answer: I'm Turkish, and so, I can read and write Turkish subtitles. I know English, of course, but not all Turks. (Or some of them are know at least). Anyway, I want Turkish subtitles add to the list, and my goal is that HR cartoons have loved by Turkish kids, adults, and everyone. Is this wrong? Say if it is.

=== Norwegian (Bokmål), code: NO-NB ===

I am Norwegian, and a huge fan of both H*R and H*R Wiki (for real, they are both on my [[Wikipedia:Russ|Russ]] card!)! I was hoping you could add Norwegian Bokmål (there are two official written languages in Norway). But you must know that my intention is to only translate, like, three to five of my favourite toons, just for fun. I honestly believe that as good as all Norwegian H*R fans know English well enough to make extensive site translation unnecessary (primarily because I would guess they are all in their late teens or older). But if you would rather prefer more serious contributions, I respect that. --[[User:WP CEO|WP CEO]] 08:23, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
:Hmm, if you know going in that you're only going to do three to five toons, then it's not really worth all the things we have to do behind the scenes to set it up.

=== Russian (Русский) (Ru) ===

Although I am not anywhere near Russian ethnicly or have fluent knowlage of the language, I still think Russian should be added to the subtitles thing, for a hopefully better international success. {{unsigned|67.172.24.191|01:57, 9 July 2008 (UTC)}}

:We tend not to add languages unless there's someone fluent in the language willing to spend the time to make the subtitles... we [[HRWiki:Subtitles#Translating Subtitles|ask that]] people still learning a language don't write the translations – they tend sound odd (often using the wrong words, since the translator hasn't learned the right ones), or the jokes fall flat (if the translator doesn't have enough real-world experience with the language to know, say, what idioms and expressions are often used by the speakers of that language, that would be a good replacement for the ones used in the toons). But don't let that discourage you... keep plugging away at learning the language, and when you're fluent, come back and we'll be happy to set it all up for you :D {{User:Phlip/sig}} 13:39, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

<blockquote>

Some of us have started working on subtitling Homestar Runner Flash cartoons to make them accessible to a wider audience. I would like to know what the HRWiki folks think about this. Should this be a part of the knowledge base wiki? Should it be separate? Would you help? The subtitles are based on the transcripts from the wiki, so there is a strong connection already. The [http://hstarsubs.awardspace.com/ subtitles project] is still beta, but it should work with Firefox and Internet Explorer. Most subtitles have been donated by Phlip from an older project, and I and Elcool have done the international ones. Check it out and let us know.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:00, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Some flash artists like Weeble from Weeble and Bob and the people behind Too Much Spare Time Animation have already added subtitles to some of their toons.

::We haven't quite worked out the standards for subtitles/captions yet, so the format may change a little. But if you want to try it now, then here's how you do it: You need Phlip's Firefox [[User:Phlip/Greasemonkey|Greasemonkey script]]. This will give you a seek bar for Flash toons from Homestarrunner.com. It also displays the current frame number. Then you grab one of the XML files from the subtitle site, scoop it empty, and use it as a skeleton. You probably also want to copy the text of the transcript into this file and split it up into short sections or sentences that you want to display as one title. Then use the seekbar to find the first and last frame numbers for each of the sections. It gets easy after you've done it once or twice. And you get to know the toon pretty well. Also note that each character has his or her own colour code. I'll put a page online soon with some more detailed hints, and I'll come up with a way of testing the titles. — I'm still not sure where to put the page with instructions.

== Translation Guidelines ==

<blockquote>Always start from the English subtitles. This saves a lot of time and work, because then, the frame numbers only have to be found once. Use the same <code>start</code> and <code>end</code> values for all languages.</blockquote>

Do we want to phrase it this way? I can imagine a scenario where this would lead to a poorer subtitling. First, if the English is not subtitled well, we're basically asking the translator to not improve it, which is, in a word, stupid. Second, there will be times when for the timing of a joke to work right, or for the reader to have sufficient time to read the subtitle, the <code>start</code> or <code>end</code> values may need to vary. Trouble is, I'm not sure how to word it. Thoughts welcome. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:00, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
:I'm not sure how to respond to question. I can give you a hazy answer, at best. Generally speaking, it is MUCH easier for a translator to take the original subtitles XML page and simply reword the idea being expressed by the text. As least for most romance languages word placement (in grammar) is similar enough that the right timing for an english translation will correlate with the right timing for an adequate translation. That is, when something is said in the english subtitles, the same thing should be said in the <insert favorite foreign language here> translation. Most english subtitles also go by transcript (I beleive) so if the English transcript is well-written, a skilled translator should not have much trouble conveying the same idea. What's left would be improper timing in the original english subtitle. If that is the case, those subtitles would need to be re-timed (or words re-split). Any re-timings can be fixed in other translations, while re-splits can be notified with a {{tl|fixtranslation}} tag, and a note in each translation's discussion. Again, as for timings/splits having to be different across translations I consider that to be an unlikely occurrence, and not necessarily a serious impact in translation quality. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:05, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
:I have also added a note suggesting that the translated toon be watched in order to make sure that the translation went ok. I figure if any inconsistencies arise they can be caught there and the translator can choose to change index times if need be. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 04:53, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

== RTL Necessary? ==
I guess this is more of a viewer implementation issue, but, according to the text:
<blockquote>*If your language is written from the right to the left, put <code>dir="rtl"</code> in the opening <code><transcript></code> tag.</blockquote>
Isn't the RTL property a language-dependent property? If so, shouldn't that be permanently set in the [[Subtitles:Languages]] file? That way:
*Translators that need RTL don't need to "remember to add it" every time a new toon is translated.
*Anyone feeling funny won't put "RTL" in some english toons.
I'm also sure no language has text that is RTL and non-RTL. The only time that I'd see RTL be changed is if non-RTL text is inlined with a translation (in a different language) of RTL text (or vice versa), something H*R I doubt will ever see. This would mean a per-line optional RTL field for the viewer. Anyway. I just wanted to put that suggestion up if it's feasible, that way the line I quoted can also be removed. (That would save E.L. Cool some trouble too ;) ) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 20:18, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

::I think you're right, it's a per-language property. And it is actually possible to choose an alternate direction within a subtitles script using a tag. I'm not sure if it's worth the hassle of changing the code, though ;-) Let's see what Phlip says.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:41, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

== More Visible? ==

Since the purported purpose of this project (nice alliteration) is to help those with difficulty understanding the toons, perhaps it would be better to make them more visible on the pages of individual toons, or perhaps put a link to subtitles on the main page of the wiki. I accidentally stumbled up subtitles the other day while going through the recent changes, and if I, an avid wiki user, didn't see them except by accident, they may be missing their intended audience. Just a suggestion, take it with as big a grain of salt as you need.{{User:Bassbone/sig}} 22:30, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Not so much a problem with the Greasemonkey script as with Greasemonkey itself. Right now I'm running Minefield 3.0a4, and Greasemonkey doesn't seem to like any versions higher than 2.

I've rewritten the external viewer, and now it reportedly runs in most browsers on several OSs. Yay! Thanks to DorianGray, Trey56, Lapper, Tom, Stux, Has Matt? and Dot Com for beta-testing it. If you have a browser/OS combination that hasn't been tested yet, please post the results below (including browser name and version as well as the operating system), and I'll update the box above (kudos to Stux for suggesting the table).

== Pop-Up Video ==

This subtitles project is super and awesome and super awesome. I was wondering what people would think about using the subtitles framework for a sort of pop-up video-type commentary track. For instance, the script could tell you where to click for Easter eggs, and maybe run short fun facts. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 15:15, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
:This is an interesting idea, but I'm not sure the benefit would outweigh the expense on this one. What kind of mechanism did you have in mind for this? I dunno... We've done pretty well just listing Easter eggs and things on the wiki. Transcripts are pretty cut-and-dried most of the time, but including fun facts seems like it would just be opening us to having to argue about them in two places instead of one. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:43, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
::I'm not sure what you mean by what kind of mechanism. The subtitle mechanism. What expense would there be? I'm willing to do them. And maybe not fun facts. This stemmed from the fact that I can never remember when to click to get the Easter egg while I'm actually watching the toon. I think it would be neat to have an automatic reminder come up. (Also, if I want to see where to click to get an Easter egg, it's in the same place as what the Easter egg contains so I'm spoiled for it.) {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 16:15, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
:::Thanks for the compliment, Homestar Coder ^_^. I had actually thought about adding this kind of functionality for Easter eggs at the beginning of the project. I decided against it for several reasons: displaying popups over a Flash object is a much less stable solution than displaying text next to a Flash object. For example, it does not work at all under Linux. Accordingly, our Easter egg hints might often have to be lengthy descriptions on where to click. The timing for Easter egg hints would also have to be asynchronous to the timing of the subtitles, making our display code a little more complicated. Of course it's all technically possible, and probably not such a great deal to implement in a very simple and robust manner. How usable it would be is another question. I also believe that this would take away a great deal of the toons' charm. Easter eggs are supposed to be hard to find, and listing them in an article is already a great help. I suspect that making them even easier to find might make them somewhat boring. But that might just be me. I guess if I find some time in the next few hours, I could whip up a simple example where I replace the subtitles with Easter eggs and fun facts, just to see how it would be... I ''am'' curious.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:52, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
::::Cool, thans for the response. I guess the pop-up thing was misleading; I don't want actual pop-ups showing where to click, just text saying "click the word egg!" or some such. There aren't all that many toons where the description of where to click is that long or difficult. And yes, the timing of Easter eggs is asynch to the timing of subtitles; I was always thinking it would be a separate track, so you couldn't have any subtitles on at the same time. As for removing the charm... well, I actually came up with this idea when I was catching up on my toon-watching, and realized I had two choices to make sure I saw all the Easter eggs: hold down tab during the whole toon (annoying) or reading it on the Wiki, which immediately spoils the joke (most of the Easter egg comments are stuff like "click on the word egg to see Homsar cracking an egg on his head!"). {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 21:00, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

:::::::That just proves that you're more of a coder than a user =3 I've added another variant of how to display an egg hint. Still not ideal... One thing that I noticed while coming up with the example was that fun facts are probably not going to work. They work well for music videos, but when you watch a toon, you will probably not want to read something that distracts you from what's going on.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 08:04, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

== Localized templates ==

The [[Template:subtitles|subtitles template]] is good in English, yes. But let's be honest: not too many English-speaking people, albeit if they know the foreign language, are going to watch the toon with some other language subtitles. Mostly the international subtitles are made for the people that don't speak English that well, right? Then why wouldn't we make a instructions template in that very language, then? It's good of course to have it in English. But there could ''also'' be another version in the subtitles language. This way the people that really need the subtitles (non-English speaking people) would know exactly how to see them. Good/bad idea? I don't want to take the power over this in my hands, because you guys know better. Thanks! --[[User:Sysrq868|Sysrq868]] 06:13, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
:I agree that there should be instructions somewhere for people in their native languages, but I'm not sure that's the place to do it. Since this is an English-language wiki, it takes at least a passing knowledge of English just to reach those pages in the first place. I'm not opposed to the idea, though, if others think that's a good place for such instructions. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 12:38, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
::Yeah, I agree — instructions someplace for people who want to ''watch'' a toon with non-English language subtitles would be good, but the template isn't the best place. For the most part, the people who will look at the individual subtitles pages are translators, who should already know English well.

::<div id="pfargtl">What about a line <s>near the top of [[HRWiki:Subtitles]]</s> on the [[Main Page]] that says something like,</div>

:::I like that! Except that to get to that page, you would still need quite a spazzing English knowledge... Maybe a small boxie on the front page somewhere, leading to a quick introduction to the world of Homestar Runner and the wiki in each language (not exactly rewriting the wiki in some other language, just a few lines and a few lead characters, introducing Chapmans etc. - a ''summary'', if you like), combined with subtitles instructions and a list of the language's subtitles? So the users shouldn't be recycled through the Subtitles project page, just nice 'n' quick straight to business, you know? Just a thought. --[[User:Sysrq868|Sysrq868]] 16:23, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Alright, it only took me three weeks to actually read this discussion ;-) I think you are bringing up a very good point, Sysrq. Instructions in different languages on how to watch the subtitles would definitely be helpful. We have to have a good think about where to put them and how much we translate. As you guys have said before, to come to any page concerning subtitles, one has to have some knowledge of English. Now, if we assume that those subtitles help viewers with no or very little knowledge of English, should we create non-English pages that serve as the homepage / start page / entry point for non-English speakers? It kind of makes sense. People can link to / visit these pages directly without having to navigate through an English wiki. However, these pages should be confined to explaining how the subtitles work. Otherwise, we run the risk of starting to translate the whole wiki, and that's a completely different project. The next question would be if and how we translate the viewers themselves. Currently, the menus and text for both viewers are in English. I remember Phlip saying that it would be technically complicated to do this for the greasemonkey script, although I can't find that discussion right now. My suggestion is as follows:
# Create custom start pages for each language that explains how to view subtitles.
# Create a page like [[HRWiki:Subtitles/List]] that links directly to the toons / external viewer instead of the subtitles scripts.
# Add a translated help link to the viewers that point to the custom start pages based on the language of the script currently used.
I think that should be enough to bypass the wiki for non-English speakers.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 02:07, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

:I like it! The only thing I would add is a suggestion to add links to the translated help pages on the [[Main Page]] (something like [[#pfargtl|above]]) — sounds good! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 02:16, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
::Cool! I'm only now realizing that you already suggested most of the stuff I said ;-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 02:21, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

:::Meh, it sounds clearer the way you said it ;) I'm going to throw together a mock subtitles instructions page so people can get a better feel of what it might be like... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 02:24, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
::::Just a suggestion for the summary, we could just use the [[Article Sightings|Wikipedia entries in other languages]] where possible for the introduction to the website. That would save some translation work. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 03:56, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

:::::Okay, here's my version of the page that could be translated into other languages: [[User:Trey56/HRWiki:Welcome/LANGUAGE CODE]]. It needs a lot of work, and there are some incomplete sections. If anybody feels like editing it or making suggestions, go ahead. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 04:28, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

::::::Looks a-pretty-pretty good! However, I have some thoughts: Firstly, maybe Translating Subtitles shouldn't be so high, if at all there. If a person that speaks English well enough to translate subtitles would stumble across this wiki, they probably wouldn't visit (or at least think the world of) a page like this. Secondly, I think there should be at least ''some'' information about the world of H*R. When I first went to Homestarrunner.com, even watching "First Time Here?" didn't help too much. It's the wiki that really cracked it open for me. So, just the basics: who are the characters, what do they do, who does the website etc. Much like a short version of [[Homestar Runner (body of work)]]. I wouldn't also too much worry about translating the greasemonkey UI. Finns are used to the kind of instructions like "Click on the button that says this and this", no matter what the language is. And Trey's thing explains every function quite satisfactory indeed. But anyways, awesome work Trey56, and let me know when this is shined up enough to start translating it! --[[User:Sysrq868|Sysrq868]] 06:24, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

:::::::Ooh, good ideas. Maybe I can move the "Translating Subtitles" below the Greasemonkey script instructions. Also, what you mentioned about an "About H*R" section is a wonderful idea. Do you think the Greasemonkey instructions should be trimmed down? They ''are'' excruciatingly long right now... Thanks for the great feedback! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 06:28, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

::::::::I think it's only long because it's just an explanation on the check-marks. If we got rid of all the subheaders nad make it a bulleted list it will shorter in size. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 06:32, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

:::::::::No, the greasemonkey section's awesome. It serves as a sort of a manual, like in a very expensive TV: it explains every single little feature, but you'll only probably read it if you're very bored or seeking info about something particular. And if we translate the greasemonkey instruction titles like "Feature name in LANGUAGE ''(Feature name in English)''", they can find it instantly. Move the Translation part after the greasemonkey instructions, and put a few paragraphs about H*R on its old place, and we'll be all set as far as I'm concerned. :) --[[User:Sysrq868|Sysrq868]] 06:37, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

== Sub viewers ==

I love the subtitles viewer. Our version of Firefox is too old to download the Greasemonkey script. But just one thing. [[Why Come|Why come]] there isn't a viewer for the toons not on the actual site? For instance, there is no local viewer link in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]] or [[A Jumping Jack Contest]]. [[User:Religious Corn|Religious Corn]] 22:15, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

:I guess it's a techincal limitation over how the viewer fetches the subtitle file, which is the page name on the Homestarrunner.com website. Or not. --[[User:Sysrq868|Sysrq868]] 09:30, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

::Is it possible to add a viewer for these? [[User:Religious Corn|Religious Corn]] 20:51, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

:::Yes, it's possible and not that hard to do. I'm just currently really stretched for time. I'll put it on my long long list of things to do ;-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:07, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

One more thing...something is wrong with some other viewers. For instance, the viewers for [[A Jorb Well Done]] and [[The Luau]] have the wrong SWF names. The sbemail [[brianrietta]] does not have any subtitles. Just thought I'd let you know. [[User:Religious Corn|Religious Corn]] 22:25, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

:Ohhh, never mind. I'll just try to fix it myself, although I'm not quite sure how to fix brianrietta... {{User:Religious Corn/sig}} 18:35, 25 September 2007 (UTC) 18:34, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Let's go back to not-on-the-site subs. I once tried to go to [http://subtitles.hrwiki.org/marshmallow2/en subtitles.hrwiki.org/marshmallow2/en]. The place where the toon should be was all white and the "subs" just said "loading flash". I looked at the HTML source, and all the lines are correct, but it thinks that the SWF file is still on homestarrunner.com. Is there a way to fix this so it knows that it's on the mirror? {{User:Religious Corn/sig}} 19:28, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

== A little tool to help translating subtitles ==

Hi everyone! 
As part of the subtitles project, I'm trying to translate the toons and everything else in French, but, like any other project, that's not easy. To help me with this task, I created a little tool. I just finished coding it, you can find it here : [http://tailszefox.free.fr/homestar/subtitles.php5]. 
This is very simple : just copy and paste the English subtitles, and you'll have two boxes for each sentence : one with the English sentence, and another one when you have to translate this sentence. If that's not very clear, just try it yourself! 
More instructions are on the page, but for now, this is far from finished : there are still some nasty bugs, who prevent it from being really useful. If someone here knows how to resolve encoding problems with the loadXML function in PHP, I'll be very happy to hear the solution! 
So, from now, it's still in a beta stage, waiting for advices. No need to continue it and fix it if it's not really useful. Well anyway, if you're a translator, please try it and tell me what you think of it. 
Thank you for your time! [[User:Meuhcoin|Meuhcoin]] 00:12, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

:Whoa, this looks awesome! I'll mention it to a couple coding-savvy types around here and see if they can help at all with any of the bugs. Nice work! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 00:21, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

::Awesome! Seems to work just fine for me. That's a really good idea :-D What encoding problems have you got?{{User:Loafing/sig}} 02:57, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

:::Thank, Trey and Loafing! Loafing, about the encoding problems, try for example with the [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Subtitles:datenite/en Date Night subtitles]. Those subtitles contain the character "—" a lot, and if you submit it and look at the lines that have it on the first page, they're messed up (there is a "Â" on front of them). Same goes for accents. So, after that, it can't find the original line (because "At best it's a broom or a—" and "At best it's a broom or aÂ—" are different). 
:::I also noticed that the span tag is messed up, because of the quotes. The line <nowiki>"But for this, maybe I should drown them in... drowning them!"</nowiki> is cut before the end, once again because of the quotation marks. It's the same when there are quotation marks in a sentence.
:::Well anyway, I'll try my best to solve these problems. Thanks for you encouragements! [[User:Meuhcoin|Meuhcoin]] 07:32, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
::::Before the first line of your PHP script, add <code class="plainlinks"><?php [http://www.php.net/header header]("Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8"); ?></code> – that should help with your encoding issues. As for the quotes, you've probably got something like <code>print "<input etc etc value=\"$something\">";</code> right? Replace that with <code class="plainlinks">print "<input etc etc value=\"" . [http://www.php.net/htmlspecialchars htmlspecialchars]($something) . "\">";</code> – that'll encode the quotes so that they don't break stuff. Great work, by the way! {{User:Phlip/sig}} 07:42, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

:::::Hey Phlip! Thank you very much, your solutions helped to solve the problem. For the encoding issues, I also had to use some utf8_encode here, and utf8_decode there, but it works. htmlspecialchars worked for the quotes in text, but not for those in the span tag, so I replaced them with there code in HTML. 
:::::Anyway, the most important thing is that those problems are solved. I still have some issues to resolve, but they're minor issues. Thanks again! [[User:Meuhcoin|Meuhcoin]] 10:38, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
::::::Hmm... I try to avoid using utf8_decode/encode as much as possible... they'll choke on any unicode stuff that's not in [[Wikipedia:ISO/IEC 8859-1#Code table|ISO-8859-1]]... if you set the headers right, you should be able to just leave the UTF-8-encoded stuff as is... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 11:35, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Unfortunatly, without those, accents and all are messed up. I must have done something wrong, I'll look into that. But for now, I didn't see any character getting messed up with this.

== Names' translations ==

I want to promote a fashion to translate subtitles. I'd really like to always keep the names and references to games like "StrongBad Zone" in english, without being transliteratted, for example: Strong Bad being "Fuerte Malo" in spanish; It doesn't preserve the spirit and essence of the cartoon!
Do I make myself clear? --[[User:Dicai|[Lt. Dicai]]] 03:03, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

:Yes! There is actually a very long discussion [[HRWiki_talk:Subtitles/Archive_1#Translation_of_Proper_Names|in the archives]] about this, with the result that names probably should stay English in most languages. Also note the last comment in that section :-){{User:Loafing/sig}} 03:34, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

::I think ''certain'' characters ''could'' be translated; characters that have descriptive names, or characters that were invented by other characters on the fly. For example, I have translated King of Town, simply because... well, he is the king of the town. There are a lot of places where I'm glad that I did translate KoT's name, it's been very helpful when trying to make certain jokes work. I've also translated The Announcer, Teen Girl Squad and all its members. I haven't translated and I don't support the idea of translating ''every'' character, especially Strong XXX, The Cheat, or Homestar.

::When I translate subtitles, I like to think the language layout, grammar, balance between standards and slang and those kinds of things as if the toon would be dubbed into the language by my subtitles, or that it was Finnish all along to begin with. Let me tell you; if a Finn did a cartoon, the last thing he'd do is give it and its characters English names. It just works better in Finnish, you can't beat that.

::So in conclusion, my opinion is to translate some if you like, but not all. --[[User:Sysrq868|Sysrq868]] 10:12, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

== List problem ==

Uh oh. Ever since we changed the subtitles list to a special page, we can't add new subtitle videos onto it! I mean, [[Rap Song]] has subtitles, but it's not on the list! [[Bug In Mouth Disease|The good times are over]]!! {{User:Religious Corn/sig}} 22:49, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

:Hey there! [[Special:Subtitleslist]] is automatically updated from the data on [[HRWiki:Subtitles/Data]], but they have to be added manually to the latter page. The last few updates hadn't been added to the list, so I went ahead and {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Subtitles/Data&diff=522488&oldid=521745 added them}}. By the way, any autoconfirmed user can add to this list, so now you can add updates to this page when new ones come out, and they should automatically appear on [[Special:Subtitleslist]]!

== Puns and plays on words ==

What about puns or plays on words? If we folowe* the standards exactly, we are forced to leave them unmodified when translating, which will often deprive them of any sense. Or are we supposed to remove them whenever possible, replacing them with bog-standard unfunny sentences?

Of course such notes would involve adding extra text that would be difficult to read if they disappeared right away (and only Greasemonkey users would be able to pause and backtrack to reread). Solving such an issue might be a little tricky. If we had a specific representative example we could use it as a template to iron out details.

This is noted on [[HRWiki:Manual of Style]], so it should be applied to subtitles just as it is to transcripts. Have you seen a lot of subtitles where the subtitlers have failed to do this? If so, go ahead and add it to the instructions, but if people are already doing it pretty consistently, then it probably doesn't need to be added... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 06:38, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
:::: Okay, as long as it's somewhere, I'll leave it at that. I've only noticed it two or three times, not enough to make a big deal. Thanks, Trey. [[User:TJDevil02|TJDevil02]]

== GOOD COLORS! ==

For the subtitles for the [[Videlectrix Guys]], programer 1 ([[Matt Chapman]]) is currently white, while programer 2 ([[Mike Chapman]]) is grey. Since they pretty consistently wear the same shirts, how about changing their color to pink for pro1 and blue for pro2 in the subtitles? This would be similar to the red for Strong Bad, green for Coach Z, etc. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 16:28, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

== DVD Commentary ==

I've always been in doubt as to the legality of posting every single word spoken during DVD commentary, anyway... but this thought crossed my mind so I thought I'd bring it up here. Has the possibility of a DVD Commentary subtitles project been discussed before? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 04:11, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
:If merely transcribing the commentaries isn't already crossing the line (and it may be), it's definitely pushing it. If that's the case, then making the commentaries available in real-time as one watches the toon would definitely be off limits. We don't want to do anything that could be an outright ''replacement'' for the original (for example, we we don't take a screenshot of every still image from one of Strong Bad's fan costume commentaries). Doubly so since the DVDs cost money. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:48, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
::Yeah, I share that point of view. I just wondered if we had some "go ahead" from TBC regarding DVD Commentary, and if so, why not match it real-time to the toons. But it seems we're kind of pulling a "better to beg forgiveness than ask permission" followed by a "if they don't say anything about it, that means it's okay". At least a little bit, anyway. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 06:20, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
:::One reason why I personally am okay with transcribing commentaries is that they are a valuable reference that we link to in articles, and we use them to support various facts and theories. But I don't really sit down and read the commentaries straight through, since the transcript format doesn't really encourage reading while following along with the toon. Subtitles ''would'' be conducive to following along with the toon, which I think is the key distinction between them and the transcripts, if one can rightly be made. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:00, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

== Translator's notes ==

As some of you might have noticed, I often leave remarks in the subtitles I translate (using the comment tags <nowiki>()</nowiki>). I was thinking that some of these remarks should also be seen by the viewer while watching the toon, e.g. explaining a pun that cannot be translated. Fan-created subtitles of Animes often use these translator's notes this to translate information that might get lost during the translation. This could be done by simply adding another "character" to [[Subtitles:Characters]]. However, it would also be cool, if we could add an option to the Greasemonkey script preferences to turn these notes off. However, I don't know how to do this, so I'm posting this here. {{User:The Commander IN COMMAND/sig}} 22:23, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

== What's Wrong With the Subtitles List? ==

Trudgemank, Dangeresque Puppet Squad, and none of the holiday toons after Rotten Eggs are listed. I also think Hremail should be added to the "Miscellaneous Flash Items" section. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 20:30, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
:Probably because no one's updated the [[HRWiki:Subtitles/Data|data]] page in over two months. You should get on that. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:12, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

== Where are all the Preeeeeow!s? ==

Hey, I was looking at a few pages, and it seems not every email with [The Paper] has a <sfx>Preeeeow!</sfx> near the end. In light of this, I propose a Preeeeow project to add the appropriate <sfx> to the SBemail subtitles. If I end up being the only one doing this, that's ok, but are there any objections/why the subtitles shouldn't include this? Thanks for feedback, [[User:Dutchscout|Dutchscout]] 21:06, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

== Quoting ==

I'm thinking we should expand on the current sbemail quoting standard. Earlier subtitles have them in a usual quote, e.g.:
<blockquote>
"Dear Strong Bad," 
"Do you take you mask and boxing gloves off before you go to bed?" 
"Sincerely, Abdi LaRue San Diego, California"
</blockquote>
However, the ones [[User:Rexy|Rexy]] has been doing recently in a paragraph-spanning form, e.g.:
<blockquote>
"Dear Strong Bad, 
"Do you take you mask and boxing gloves off before you go to bed? 
"Sincerely, Abdi LaRue San Diego, California"
</blockquote>
I find the way Rexy does it more suitable than the way we've been doing it previously. Should we add this to the standards? --[[Special:Contributions/75.5.176.233|75.5.176.233]] 22:11, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
:It really ends up differing depending on who made the subtitles; for instance, when I write subtitles, I tend to do the latter (though I haven't written any in a while). Would be nice if we had some standards, but while the second way is technically more correct, it's not the most well-known grammatical rule. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:21, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
:Indeed, I just noticed that some of the earlier subtitles that I wrote were ''"corrected"'' to the former (end quotes after every line) some time after I had written them. Thanks, Shwoo! 9_9 (Well, okay, like I said, it's not the most well-known grammatical rule.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:24, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
::What (with the "Shwoo! 9_9")? --[[Special:Contributions/75.5.176.233|75.5.176.233]] 23:37, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
:::Shwoo was the user who "corrected" my already-correct quotation mark usage. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:00, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
::::Those are rolling eyes. Shwoo changed something that Jay had specifically intended to be another way, although she was doing what she saw fit since we haven't discussed this before. Jay wasn't ''really'' thanking her. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:03, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
:::::I totally missed the "Thanks,". Oops. --[[Special:Contributions/75.5.176.233|75.5.176.233]] 00:05, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

== Translating into italian ==

Hi, I'm an italian H*R fan and I'm willing to translate the subtitles into italian, what do you think?

== Serbian (SR) ==

Please add this. [[User:RocketMasterZ|RocketMasterZ]] 21:16, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

[[Image:Best Caper Ever.png|thumb|"It doesn't touch!"]]

Strong Bad somehow manages to pull off the best caper ever... if he could only remember it.

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

'''Places:''' [[The Arctic]], [[The House Of The Brothers Strong]], [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] (Easter egg)

'''Date:''' Monday, February 9, 2009

'''Running Time:''' 2:43

'''Page Title:''' Total Coincidence! Not Intentional!

==Transcript==
''{slow fade to a closeup of Homestar Runner}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Man, what should I do today? ''{turns the other way and takes a deep breath}'' I just wonder what I should be doing today, you know? ''{shakes head}'' I just can't seem to stop wondering what I maybe might could be should be doing today.

''{cut to a long shot of Homestar standing alone on an ice floe, with an iceberg visible in the back}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Man. ''{the echo is heard; Homestar looks around}''

''{cut to a closer shot}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh, I know! I can pretend one leg is shorter than the other again. ''{Homestar lifts his right leg and lets it swing freely}'' ''{softly}'' It doesn't touch.

''{cut to a long overhead shot of Homestar drifting which crossfades to a slightly grainy black and white picture with the legend Satellite Feed in the lower right corner}''

''{camera pulls back to reveal the TV is sitting in The House of The Brothers Strong}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So you have, like, no idea how we pulled this off?

''{reverse shot of Strong Bad and The Cheat watching the television}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, let's retrace our steps. We stole Homestar's melonade.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{nodding}'' ''{affirmative The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You made pee-pee in said melonade.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{embarrassed affirmative The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And now he's on a tiny ice floe in the middle of the Arctic somehow.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' I think we might be missing a couple key steps there.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, man! This is like our best caper ever and we don't even remember what we did!?

''{cut back to Homestar. A black lump with whiskers can be seen floating off to frame left.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay. Bye, bloated sea lion carcass! ''{singsong}'' Thanks for stopping by! ''{cut to a medium shot}'' Marzipan, we've got to have them over more often. They are a ''riot''! ''{Homestar looks over his shoulder, annoyed}'' Hm! ''{He starts shaking his body erratically and grunting before taking out a satellite phone}'' Oh, that is it, satellite phone! You've poked me for the last time! ''{He tosses the phone into the ocean}'' You too, flare gun. ''{He takes out a flare gun and drops it into the ocean}''

''{cut back to Strong Bad and The Cheat lying on the carpet}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're sure you don't remember like, tricking Homestar into getting onto a cargo plane, ''{a sketch of Homestar, with his tongue sticking out, running towards a plane with a sign saying "Free Pile" appears over them and fades}'' maybe bribing some walruses, ''{a sketch of a visible-footed The Cheat giving money to three walruses appears and fades}'' or like experimenting with the folding of space-time? ''{a sketch of a diagram of a black hole, The Cheat with [[Cool Shades|glasses]], and math equations appears and fades}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{negative The Cheat response}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, the only thing we know for certain is that you made wee ''{a sketch of a glass of melonade appears}'' in Homestar's melonade, and now he's stuck ''{a sketch of a globe appears with a circle around it pointing to a tiny Homestar}'' on the other side of the globe of which we mysteriously have satellite coverage. ''{a satellite appears next to the globe}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{affirmative The Cheat noise}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's it, I'm taking you to the vet!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{leaps up, makes scared The Cheat noise}''

''{cut back to a medium shot of Homestar standing on the ice floe}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right. At this point, I'm willing to admit that maybe, ''just maybe'', this ''{close-up of Homestar}'' isn't Marzipan's new patio. I should probably yell for help.

''{cut to a long shot}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Larry! ''{echo is heard}''

''{cut back to a close-up}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Larry sounds like the kind of guy that could help me out of this jam!

''{cut back to long shot}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voice breaking}'' Larry! ''{echo}''

''{cut back to close-up}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Homestar? ''{echo}''

''{cut to a medium shot. Strong Sad is drifting in frame left, reading a book}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, would you please keep it down?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, great! Strong Sad! You're a polar bear, right?

''{close-up of Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Use your frost breath to turn me into an ice cube, so future generations can thaw me out ''{cut back to a medium shot of the two of them}'' and marvel at my same length legs!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Boy, did I pick the wrong hemisphere to aimlessly drift through this year...

''{black card with an iceberg and the word "end." appears}''

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end, click on the period to see a scene with Strong Bad and The Cheat at Bubs' Concession Stand.
:''{The Cheat is on the counter of the stand, beside Bubs, while Strong Bad looks on. A sign is taped on the counter, reading, "BUBS A VET NOW! GET IT?"}''
:'''BUBS:''' ''{to Strong Bad}'' And I'm gonna need you to fill ''this'' up.
:''{He takes out a trash can, which has a fill line drawn on it and a "Grody Sample" label taped to it}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa-ho-ho. Sorry, The Cheat.
:'''BUBS:''' ''{suddenly angry}'' I'm not looking at The Cheat!
:''{Strong Bad looks surprised}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia: Spacetime|Space-time]] is a mathematical model that combines space and time into a single entity.

===Remarks===
*When Homestar yells, his voice echoes, even though there is nothing for his voice to echo off of.
*Homestar mentions a "bloated sea lion carcass" despite the fact that sea lions do not live in the Arctic Ocean.
*The Cheat bends his arms as if he had hands.
*The globe showing where Homestar is resembles more of the United States globe, rather than that of [[Free Country, USA]]. There also appears to be no Arctic on the previously shown globes of the Homestar Runner world.
*In this Toon, Strong Bad's arms are in a new curved style.

===Goofs===
*In the black-and-white satellite footage, the ice sheet that Homestar is standing on has a colored outline.
*When Homestar yells for Larry the water sparkles extend over the horizon.

===Fixed Goofs===
*The running time for this short was listed as 2:43 on the [[New Stuff]] menu, but 3:09 on the [[Toons#Shorts|Shorts]] menu. This was fixed the following week.

===Inside References===
*The Cheat tainted Homestar's [[melonade]] by [[peeing]] in it.
*One of the people to whom Homestar called for help was [[Homestar Runner and Homestar Runner's relationship|himself]].

===Real-World References===
*The "Total Coincidence! Not Intentional!" title is referring to the cartoon's unfortunate timing; it was released the day after [http://www.foxtoledo.com/dpp/news/ap_ohio_Agencies_troubleshoot_Lake_Erie_oce_floe_rescue_effort 134 people were rescued from a freeflowing sheet of ice] that broke off into [[Wikipedia:Lake Erie|Lake Erie]].

== Wilde Coincidence? ==

Your name is a reference to ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'', is it not? And furthermore, does that indicate that you identify with the character Dorian Gray, or are you just a fan of the book/movie/story/author? If you are referencing the novel, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. I'm a big Oscar Wilde fan myself, and I wrote an essay on ''The Picture of Dorian Gray'' for Philosophy class, back in June. -[[User:Polly|Polly]] 07:47, 3 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Actually, I've been trying to find the novel to read. I only know about Dorian Gray from the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen film. I like reading the background of such things, which is why I want the novel. I haven't yet had an oppurtunity to get to the library yet, and it's never in at the bookstore...
::EDIT: I got my mum to check the book out for me instead. All is well. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Sorry for the edit ==

Ya sorry, that was pretty stupid of me, I just wanted to see if anyone would notice and change it. I promise nothing of the sort will happen again.
:That's quite all right. No lasting harm done, and it was all taken care of quickly. Thanks for apologising, though. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time here. ^-^ --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Moved examples into list ==

I hope it's okay, but on [[Talk:Ice Cream]] I went ahead and moved your examples into the list itself and put a note on it so others will edit it as they see fit. If you want, repost with your opinion on whether it should be a running gag. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:48, 11 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:Yes, of course it's fine. Anything for the good of the wiki, yeah? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== England ==

Have a good trip! Never mind the bullocks! — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:30, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:England, huh? That's quite the trip you're taking. Hope it's a good one. We'll try to keep the wiki afloat during your absence, but it will be tough. Have a good time. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:30, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Away Message Song ==

I'll be away in England for the next three weeks, y'all. Sorry. To make up for my not being here to help the Wiki, I offer you this away message song. Yes, it's the same 'Believe It Or Not' song that Homestar and George Costanza have sung to before. 

''Believe it or not, ''
''I'm away from the comp, ''
''So leave a message just for me. ''
''I must be out, or I'd IM you back. ''
''Where could I be? ''
''Believe it or not, you're alone! ''

Please, hold your applause. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:Well, Seany-sama, how was England? If you're from Pennsylvania, how come you spell favorite "favourite"? I'm from Texas, one of your other favou—I mean, favorite places. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:28, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::I spell everything the English way coz, well, coz I'm so hung up on England. Originally, though, it was a side effect from visiting Neopets and it's just stuck with me. And all those other reasons about it actually being the real and correct spelling and all. And as for England itself... Well, to tell the truth, it's not so different from here, except for the television programmes, when you get right down to it. But, despite being faintly similar, it was a total blast.
:::Did you go to the tower, or the abbey, or the palace? Did you ride the Eye? The last time I was there, I got to drive a car by myself through the cities and highways of Scotland. ''That'' was fun, and not just a little weird being on the wrong side of the road. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:57, 5 Sep 2005 (UTC)
::::Me, I didn't really do much of anything a normal tourist does. I went up to stay with my friend, who I met a couple years ago online. We've been planning this forever. I stayed at her house up in Nottingham, so most of the sights I saw were generally A) really cool and loud, 2) around the general Nottingham area, and D) more "fun" than "historic" or "tourist-y". My mum and sister did the whole bus-tour thing throughout England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and even nipped down to France for a day, though. But I was more content to stay with my best friend than go sightseeing.

==Sound Effects==
I think it's great you're spearheading this project. Look at the formatting changes I just made (putting each table cell on a new line and a space after the align=center part). I think that makes the code easier to read. Also, be sure to link every instance in the last column. A user shouldn't have to search up and down the list for a link. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:31, 14 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:All right. Thanks for the advice (and the help). And I just like making lists. I have tons of similar lists on my computer (none are H*R related, though). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Secret==

Yes, it does. I was wondering if someone would see that. you win. --{{User:Bubsty/sig}} 20:41, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Synonyms ==

Um, have you been known to collect synonyms? I saw that in your entry. --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:31, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:For some things. Synonyms are useful if you write a lot. That way, you don't come off as boring by repeating yourself. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

So, we all know that. But do you REALLY do that for a livin'? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:33, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:Currently, I don't do ''anything'' for a living. I do it as more of a hobby. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Hobbies ==

I see. Why is that your hobby? --[[User:The 386|The 386]] 00:36, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

You asked for a note encouraging you to do that work on the Videlectrix games. I have left such a note [[Talk:50K_Racewalker#New_Racewalker_Image|here]]. See also the bit about the music. Thanks for being willing to do this. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:05, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
:Willing, yes... Unfortunately, by the time I got here, it seems someone already added all the music links (although I was able to make a few minor corrections). As to the other bit... D'you want me to just include a new "Official Videlectrix Description" section in each game, or what? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 16:55, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Anyway, sorry.

::Oh, come on. A Holiday Greeting most likely to be reverted? It doesn't sound like Chriiiii(st) to you? Listen to it one more time just to make sure. If you don't hear it though, I understand. Or did you revert it because you thought I was being in appropriate? Either way, I understand.

Sorry again.

:Well, actually... It was discussed a lot under one of the Running Gags (I forget which), and was then applied to several other pages. I just was bored and thus decided to take the next step. If I was out of order, sorry. It was discussed with users I respect a lot, so I figured it wasn't too bad. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Reverts==
I would like to help out the site. Can you tell me how a revert works? [[User:Marth 99|Marth 99]]
:Sure I can! When a page has been trolled or had a bad edit made, the simplest way to change it back is to revert it. Each page has a history of every edit made to it, see. Up at the top, you'll notice a little tab marked "history" (it's the fourth from the left, usually). Click on that and it'll bring up a page of all the edits made to that page, most recent ones on the top. Find the version you want to change it back to and click the date for that version. This will bring that version up in the window for editing. Just type "reverted" or "rv" (or "rv/v" for vandalism) ito the edit summary box beneath it and hit "save page". And that will correct the whole page! I hope that helps. If not, check out the [[Help:Contents|Help pages]] for more information. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Yo, Dorian. I was wondering if you would draw a picture of Darth Katana X for my profile. I see by your guestbook entry and your deletion of AbdiViklas' note on John Reuben that you've seen my profile. You can read up on my Sith Apprentice there, if you haven't already.

Hey DG, how'd you get the Old-School Homestar for your newest quote? {{User:LePorello/sig}} 14:39, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
:I actually took a screen shot from... [[personal favorites|personal favourites]], I think. I cropped out everything but his head, and rotated, resized, and/or flipped it 'til it was layered perfectly over a normal Quote of the Week box with the current Homestar in it. And there it was: one old-school Homestar quote. However, since my editing software is now kaput, I can't do any more specialised quotes like that. Ah, well. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::What do you mean kaput? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:36, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

:No problem. It was easily fixed, although I admit I did have a sudden heart palpatation when I saw it on Recent Changes. It's easy to get confused when the RC is all clogged like that. Keep on doin' your thing, man. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Yeah, DG. I ''saw'' what you did with the userbox that ''I'' added. It's OK; I found it prooty humorous. And I remember you being blocked on the 9th. I actually saw the unblockage first, and I thought, "Huh? How'd Dorian get blocked?" [[suntan|HEE HO HEE!]] Oh, and is it OK if I use your "tomorrow" quote on my page. Keep up the good work! {{User:LePorello/sig}} 16:57, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
:A) Glad you don't mind. It was a little long, and it's actually how I feel. o_o I'm gonna be twenty in 5 months exactly, and I feel ancient. 
:2) Yeah, the block was pretty freaky. I had a premonition I'd end up on that list somehow, but I don't do anything bad. So that's that, then.

Why did you remove my picture from the halloweener page? You gotta give me some credit. I'm a full wiki member, and I don't deserve to have my image deleted. Also, if you think it's ugly, keep it to yourself. Sorry, but I don't find this very respectful.
[[User:Chess Cheese|Chess Cheese]]
:It's not relevant because tons of people do fanart of all sorts of toons all the time. That doesn't make it necessary to mention in an encyclopedic knowledge-base. It's nothing against you. Anyone's would be deleted. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

Well, this is a big slap in the face to art.

==Squeaketycoo==
On the other hand, can we hold up just a sec on the unsqueaking? I think there ''are'' a few times when it's okay. After all, Strong Bad does call "a little yellow squeaky thing". Specifically, if he makes a ''single'' noise, like "Meh!", that isn't exactly a scream, then I think that could best be called a squeak. It's more wieldy than '''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes a The Cheat noise}''. Also [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=The_Best_Decemberween_Ever&curid=1024&diff=297773&oldid=297028&rcid=244845 this] seems like a good candidate for squeaking: the intent is to say he "sings along," but what the Cheat does can't really be called singing. About the best thing it can be called, then, is squeaking. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:23, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
:Well, there's pretty much nothing left to correct anyways, so I can definitely hold up for a while. =3 Fix whatever you like; I guess there ARE some times when it's okay, like you said. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Cool. I think I'll just revert a few on the basis of wieldiness. For the record, the [[HRWiki talk:Standards#Standardize "The Cheat Noises"|original crusade]] was to correct instances where people had tried to transliterate The Cheat noises into our alphabet. If you see any of that still around, a small train needs to be dropped. At least a caboose. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:28, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Dorian, I saw you wondered about my name. Well--in short--I made it up. It's basically the name I use everywhere, unless it's more formal (in which case I use the long form, Katori), or in the rare case where there's something better (like Coach Z on BHZ's forum ;)). I made it up a few years ago. Occassionally I use it in stories as well. :) Nice to meet you!! --[[User:Kato|Kato]]

== Countervandalism ==

[[Image:colonelhomestar.PNG|thumb|Prepare to feel the fluoride sting of the DorianGray!]]
Hey Dorian:

I wanted to let you know that you are one of the best countervandals I've ever known. Before I was a sysop, I remember how often the two of us were working together to stop a persistent vandal. Since I became a sysop, I find myself blocking vandals after being alerted by your reverts.

You've already received the Defender of the Wiki barnstar for revering NSMC, but I felt it was time for you to get a little more recognition: not for one act of countervandalism, but for a long history of defending this wiki. I'm leaving you this image to let you know you'll always be a colonel in the Homestarmy in my mind. Keep up the good fight, man. Constant vigilance! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 21:10, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
:And the same to you. =) I'm happy to help any way I can, and will continue to do so as long as I can. ^-^ Thanks very much for the recognition. It makes me feel special. I'm glad to be part of such a dedicated wiki, and to know such dedicated users. May you continue to great things too. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::LOL. Heimstern, we've got a possible vandal, and he doesn't seem stable...</useless gossip> — {{User: Seriously/sig}}
:::Nah, I jus' misread the move log entry and thought he'd moved my page, so I hit the revert. Then realised that was the entry for [[privileges]] I'd just done. So I had to re-revert it. Happens to the best of us sometimes... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Copyright category ==

Hey Dorian. It looks like you found a good category for that category. Just so you know, those templates are some advance work I'm doing in preparation for our switch to MediaWiki 1.6. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:07, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah, I wasn't planning to tag anything with them. Although, I do have a question. Is there anything you'd tag [[:Image:Darkfire Taimatsu.PNG|my personal image]] with? It's art a friend of mine drew, so it really doesn't fit anything that ''I'' know of... Also [[:Image:DarthDrawing.jpg|the one]] I drew for Darth Katana X. Anything you'd class those under? I've been wondering for a while now... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::I think the path of least resistance would be to slap a {{tl|permission}} tag on 'em. I should point out that there are others with way more experience than I when it comes to image copyright tags, so you might could get a better answer. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 05:20, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
:::I'll put that on 'em, then, unless/until someone else finds something better. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Well, unless your friend specifically agrees to release the rights to the picture, {{tl|permission}} is the most appropriate template. There's basically 3 types of image tag: 1) The owner says we can use it ({{tl|permission}}) II) The owner says anyone can use it ({{tl|gfdl}}, the Creative Commons licenses, etc) C) The owner hasn't said we can use it, but we're using it anyway under Fair Use ({{tl|web-screenshot}} et al) (plus the tags that say "we really shouldn't be using this", like {{tl|no license}}). This image is clearly under group 1, (unless your friend wants to move it into II). {{User:Phlip/sig}} 05:36, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

:Apology accepted. =) The important thing is that you learned from your mistake, right? Not gonna do it again, yeah? =) That's what really matters. We can be quite forgiving 'round here, I think. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::Me personally? I say it "wee-kee". It's from the Hawaiian ''wikiwiki'', which means "quick" (refers to how easy it is to edit on here). So I use the pronounciation that's directly from the Hawaiian root, mostly due to my slight obsession with Hawaii. However, for some reason, I pronounce "Wikipedia" as "wick-i-pee-dee-a". --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Senior Prom, I Am The Walrus edit==
Oh, sorry. I thought my computer messed up, so I added it again. And by the way, iTunes Listed the song 'I Am the Walrus' under styx. Check if you have it.
:Sorry, I don't. Maybe they remade it...? (*should look that up*) But it was originally performed by The Beatles. No harm done, though. Catch you later. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Have a look at [[Wikipedia:I Am The Walrus#Cultural references]], in particular the "cover versions" bit. I'm guessing the version on iTunes is the Styx cover, rather than the Beatles original.

are you english and if so did you enjoy sb_email 22? -{{User:Homsar7/sig}}

== Homsar's Speech ==

Hey Dorian. :) Just wanted to thank you for the <s>flowers you sent me while I was in the hospital</s> help on my Homsar's Speech project! Seems like we're almost done, and so far I've only found two, maybe three things he's ever said that are genuine word salads. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:17, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
:Oh, any time. It was fun, as Homsar is quite th' character... And now I have, like, most of his line memorised, I think. I really like seeing the analyses of each line... He's more coherent than I originally thought. o_o --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Sure seems to be. I think this project conclusively proves that Homsar is actually pretty "with it" - just random in the way he communicates with others. Once the project is done, I'm wondering if we should make this an actual article that we can then point to from the main Homsar article or its Talk page... or otherwise include the analysis on the Talk page, or something. It's useful data that can help to define and refute the "word salad" assertion on both Homsar's page and the Wikipedia page. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:32, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I really like it... Quite an interesting article. Sheds new light on a beloved wacky character. And Homsar is now reminding me of a character of my own, who also speaks in an unusual way (example: she uses the word "circle" instead of "family"). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Thanks for the Memo ==
Yeah, I'm sorry about he mishap. Yes, it was me who was editing my page. I'm sorry for the confusion, and I've set it to auto log-in from now on so it does not happen again.

:No problem. I have mine set like that myself. Hope we didn't set you back too much with our reverts. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Dinosaurs and Genus ==

A "genus" is one single level up from "species", so saying that dinosaurs are their own genus is not only not true (there is more than one genus of Dinosaur - quite a few, in fact!) but also not relevant - They are part of the [[Wikipedia:Sauropsid|Sauropsid]] class, which is the class containing all reptiles (it also happens to include birds.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

== Trying to make this Userbox work ==
Hi there, I was just wondering if you could help me (or know who could). I made a new userbox for my userpage which uses a random Homsar quote. I tried to add it to the Userbox page and it won't work because of the template inside a template format, the homsarquote template I mean. It works ON my user page and outside of the <userboxsampes> tag, just not inside of it. Any idea how to make that work?
--{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 21:05, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
:Hmm, I dunno much myself, but I'll certainly ask around. I know a few people who might be able to help, maybe. I's not much good with coding and stuff myself. *sweatdrop* Let you know once they get on, or something. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:::Thanks Loafing, but I think you misunderstand the problem. It will work inside that. Look at my userpage and you will see what I made. It's making it work inside the <userboxsample> tag on the Userbox page. The page with the preview and code next to it? It won't work in there for some reason.--{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 21:38, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry. I was the one who made that "Kick The Cheat" edit on the "Twin Characters" section. Thanks for correcting me! (I completely forgot about artistic licence)! Just wanted to let you know I appreciate the help, and I'll consider that factor next time!... 4kai2lyn6...

You said "This really can't be proven, seems speculative, not the full H'ween toon, and it's a real shirt." about my edit. Can you explain further? I thnk TBC put that there for people to ponder it? Can you please put it back? --{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}}
:It's speculation to assume TBC put it there for people to ponder, because we don't know what they were thinking. We run a knowledge base, based in fact, not assumption. It was not the full, official Halloween toon for that year, and they probably didn't use Homestar's costume for spoiler reasons. To round it out, Homestar's shirt is a real shirt, generally used by people too lazy to wear a real costume (like people who answer the door for trick-or-treaters, for example). Those are the reasons I took it out. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

No need to be a jerk, dude. "Ugh?" "Not at all aesthetically pleasing?" Give me a break. That's an exaggeration -- especially since it's a matter of your personal taste -- and regardless of your preferences, the harsh words are completely unnecessary.

I guess you don't want people to constructively contribute if you're going to behave like that.
:No offense meant. It's just that strong stylistic changes like this should be brought before the community and discussed beforehand, before any changes go into effect. Mebbe I was a little harsh, but it really does look bad. It doesn't fit at all. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== quite certain he says "oh my lan" ==

Considering that Renold says before hand: "Get your hands off those floppy disks and fiscal reports" it would suggest he says oh my lan. oh my land isn't even a saying.

For the sake of argument, I recorded the part he said and played it over, there is no audio wave that suggests him saying "d" after lan.

Thanks for removing my post for no reason except that you thought I should "take it to the forum". Tape Leg's wiki page has a note saying that some think it's the worst episode. I mentioned that perhaps "Rough Copy" was, which would carry a similar note if their was a concensus.

:Hey there. DorianGray was acting perfectly within [[HRWiki:Talk page etiquette#Talk post content|policy]]. Comments on talk pages concerning personal opinions of the toons are routinely removed for exactly the reason Dorian provided — they don't concern the content of the article. Now, [[tape leg]] is an exception, because the issue is actually addressed by Strong Bad. So, I understand why you consider your talk page post to be legitimate, but DorianGray actually did the right thing.

:Regardless, your personal attacks of DorianGray were completely uncalled for. If you disagree with a user's actions, it is simple to say so in a civil way without insulting them.

:Oh, sure. There's tons of compatible eggs. You just have to leave two Pokémon of the same Egg group at the day care. (Ditto is a good way to get around this.) And then wait until an Egg appears.

=== Unowns ===

Hi, do you know anything about the Unown pokemon in the Tanoby Ruins? Before the chambers had '''nothing''' at all in them, no pokemon, nothing. Then I found the Tanoby key, activated it and there were unown pokemon in the chambers! Each unown is exactly the same, except for the body shape, and at the front of one chamber, a guy says a mystic pokemon lives in the chamber. Some of my friends say all the unowns are the shape of each letter of the alphabet and if you catch all of them to create the alphabet, the mystic pokemon will appear in the chamber(s). Do you know anything about the mystic pokemon, the unowns or the chambers? If so, please tell me, thanks. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:39, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
:The mystic Pokémon the guy is referring to is probably the Unown themselves. Unown are pretty fascinating. They do match up to the alphabet: one Unown for each of the 26 letters, as well as one each for ? and !. I haven't yet been able to find Unown ? or ! in Tanoby (they're really rare). The only thing you get for collecting all 28 Unown is the satisfaction of knowing you have them all, though. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:43, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
::Do you know anything about the legendary dogs? Because I heard after defeating the elite four (I defeated it 3 times), outside of Cerulean cave a legendary dog will appear and the type will depend on which starter pokemon you picked. I picked Squirtle so my dog should be the thunder dog. Do you know anything about it? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}19:48, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
:::Yes, that's true. Depending on your starter, one of the Legendary Beasts will appear in Kanto: Raikou for Squirtle, Entei for Bulbasaur, and Suicune for Charmander. They're extremely hard to catch, though. They move around between routes, so you have to use your Pokédex to track them down (only once you find it in the first place, though). Then, if you're lucky enough to be in the same place at the same time, you'll encounter it randomly in the tall grass. It runs at the start of the battle, so putting it to sleep or using Mean Look will help keep it there long enough to wear it down and catch it. If you do manage to catch it, it's a very powerful Pokémon, so treat it well. =) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:59, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Well, I found the Raikou last night looking for meowths and I found it and it fled. I looked in the pokedex to find where it was, I ran into it, had my wobbuffet first with the shadow tag ability. The Raikou couldn't escape because of shadow tag, but it used roar and escaped. Then because it was very late, I turned it off and then today when I played it, I went to Raikou's pokedex entry to find it's location and it said "area unknown". Do you know how I'm supposed to confront it again and if yes, how do I catch it if it either runs away or uses roar? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}15:58, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::Hmm. Dunno why it's not appearing in the Pokédex locator. Catching one of the beasts is usually mostly luck, and a big pain in the rear. I saved my Master Ball for Entei just coz I hate catching the roaming Pokémon. I could do a li'l research, see if there's anything that has, like, both Suction Cups and Mean Look (Ingrain and Spider Web?) or something. I don't know many counters for Roar... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 19:05, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

=== eevee ===

Hi, do you know how to get Eevee? I heard you get it in the Celadon Mansion, but how do you get it? {{User:Zapdos/sig}}23:21, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
:You just go around the back of the building. There's a back entrance that leads to a room on the roof. Eevee is up there. You probably need to have only 5 Pokémon in your party, too, so you have room to take it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 23:26, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
::Heh, want to know something funny? I got to Celadon a really long time ago and got Eevee a long time ago, so today I looked everywhere and I was just confused, and I looked in the PC and I found the Eevee! Funny, eh? Oh and you said Entei, so you probably picked Mr. Venus. I don't really like Venusy, I don't think it's very good. I like Blasty the best, which is why I picked it. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}02:52, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:::I picked Bulbasaur because, way back in Blue version, Bulbasaur was my first Pokémon. I wanted to carry the tradition.
:::Neat how you found th' Eevee. I love a good story like that. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 02:54, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::I The reason I picked Squirtle is because I tried all the starters and thought Squirtle was the best. Also because everybody picks Charizard, so if they breed their Charizard, they would maybe trade me something for their Charmander. One of my friends who picked Bulbasaur traded for one of my Squirtle's so he could easily take out his rival's Charmy. {{User:Zapdos/sig}}14:04, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::Oh, yeah, I hope in Diamond you didn't pick Turtwig. It sucks. I picked Piplup because it's best and Infernape is so-so. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}}23:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::I picked Turtwig in Diamond because it was the least ugly of all the starters. And Torterra is pretty beastly, actually. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:42, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::Wha?!?! You picked Turtwig? Least ugly? I actually think Turtwig is the most ugly. Heh. Well, at least Torterra doesn't suck like Venusaur. I always pick water types except in Emerald because it is the only Pokemon in Gen. III that knows Leaf Blade. I bet if we battled, my Empoleon would whip your Torterra because it is Jolly so I'd go first and use Ice Beam which does 4x damage! Muohahaha!!!!! But my friend who always picks grass types, his best attack is Razor Leaf even with his lv. 100 Venusaur! {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}} 22:15, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::Razor Leaf is actually a pretty decent move. Nice damage level, good hit percentage, lots of HP, and the possibility of a critical hit. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::Naw, Razor Leaf sucks. 55 power. The only good thing is it has a high chance of doing a critical hit. It's not even 100% accurate. Well, 95 is still good accuracy, but Razor Leaf sucks.
:::::::55 is actually pretty decent for a mid-level attack with no drawbacks. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:27, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::::55 actually isn't good. Flamethrower or Thunderbolt is 100% accurate, 95 power and has no recoil and can burn or paralyze, so Razor Leaf... is no good. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}} 22:32, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::Oh, you like stories, don't you? Well, this might make you laugh. You can only get one Master Ball in the game right? Well, you want to save it for the legendary dog, but it's okay if you use it on Articuno or MewTwo or maybe Zapdos or Moltres. Well, my friend really wanted Articuno because he didn't save infront of the other legendary birds. So he took out Zapdos and Moltres, so Articuno was the only one left. That bird is so hard to catch, so if you don't have like a million ultra balls, chances are you won't catch it, so I used my master ball on it. Well, my friend used his master ball on a level 14 Onix then released his Onix. Then he found Articuno and it escaped all of his balls, s he kept on resetting and he did that about 20 times and finally gave up. This was about a month ago, and the Articuno is still standing there, so I can't wait for the Mewtwo! {{User:Zapdos/sig}}14:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
::::::Heh. Your friend has some bad luck. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 18:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Oh, yeah, he caught Mewtwo and when he was trying, when he threw a ball, he went on his hands and knees and was dragging his knees across the carpet going "PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE CATCH!!!" and actually started crying, everyone there thought he was just weird so we laughed, and when he caught Mewtwo, he screamed "YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". So, yeah, it was hard for him without da Master Ball. But we all thought that was very weird how he cried. {{User:Johnny Ohm/sig}}23:07, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

== Hurtful comments ==

Hello, DorianGray, I happened to receive word that you were talking complete trash about me at IRC. A sysop should be more mature. As quoted:
 
<pre style="margin-right: 260px">
[10:58:02] <DeFender1031> Hey there opty

[10:59:07] <OptimisticFool> Hey

[11:04:13] <DeFender1031> just read your edit summary

[11:04:19] <DeFender1031> and the transcript you fixed

[11:05:16] <DorianGray_> Complete incompetents should not do DVD commentaries.

[11:05:26] <DeFender1031> http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=theme_song&diff=597152&oldid=597038 it was even worse before that

[11:06:05] <DeFender1031> "Limbext"

[11:06:12] <DeFender1031> WHAT?!????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!#%^#!@^@!@

[11:06:56] <DorianGray_> "Philiet" was a lot closer than "Philippe".

[11:08:13] <DorianGray_> In the future, we should require that you actually OWN the DVD that you're trying to transcribe. =3

[11:08:34] <SysRq868> How very encouraging of you all.

[11:08:59] <SysRq868> I'm sure MichaelXX2 is very pleased to know that of all of his efforts, you can only spot his mistakes, as if you never made any.

[11:09:48] <OptimisticFool> He's so far from TBC's generation, he just can't possibly get the references..

[11:10:38] <OptimisticFool> Anyway, I'm putting together some fun facts now.. so don't give me no edit conflicts, please..

[11:10:59] <DorianGray_> You'd think he'd at least get the Tiny Toons ref, as we have a fun fact on it.

[11:11:11] <OptimisticFool> Sagatoad..

[11:11:13] <OptimisticFool> Hahahahaha

[11:13:45] <OptimisticFool> He had Ryan saying, "My wife Jackie" ... =]

[11:14:41] <DorianGray_> Won't she be surprised. </pre>

== Dangeresque 3 Goofs ==

On the Dangeresque 3 page, you wrote under goofs: "In extended play, several scenes involving Renaldo will replay without his being there."

I'm confused as to which scenes you mean. So far as I can see, the only scenes which involve Renaldo in extended play (besides the Sun) are specifically stated to be bloopers or out-takes from the making of the movie, meaning his absence in the present scene is no hinderance to him being there in the response sequences. If that makes any sense. It's also implied on a number of occasions that Coach Z is holding the camera in many shots without Renaldo, so hearing his voice in those shots is also not a goof. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 12:46, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
:Obtaining the Diet Brown, for instance. I also recall a scene in the Secret Lab (the specifics of which I forget), which cuts to a shot of Renaldo, who is there during the normal game, but not during extended play. As if he's invisible. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 13:01, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
::Ah, I see - if you give the Diet Brown to Experimento in extended play, the original squence plays, but with invisio-Renaldo. That, however, is the only one I've been able to find. Unless your version is different, taking the Diet Brown the second time only results in Strong Bad delivering the first line and taking the can straight away. I haven't seen any other ghostly appearences from Renaldo... --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 20:20, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

== "Is" vs "is" ==

The game doesn't captialise the i in is - it's "8-Bit is Enough". Nor, for that matter, does our own [[8-Bit is Enough]] page. It's only whoever first created the links to the Responses pages that capitalised the I. So do we want to stick with how they do it in-game, or (since there's now more pages with a capital I} just capitalise them all for consistency? --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 22:06, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
:Personally, I prefer the uncapitalised version. I only moved the two responses pages to the capital version because it was easier than moving all the others. If you wanna un-move 'em and move all the others, that's fine with me. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:10, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

I'm all for it, but after looking at this page, I don't think it is ready for a well formatted page like [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Neologisms&oldid=424112 Neologism] (don't mind the templates at the top) to be just dumped in this mess of a page. So here is a quick to do list:
*Better opening: It was written in the old Tavi times when we didn't have such a high standards.
*Links: Some of the items here already have pages for themsleves.
*Trimming: things like "Bumdumbourge" that only appeared once and which we have no real definition of.
*More encyclopedic: Things like "CHALLENGE!!!: A favorite word (and pastime) of Stinkoman." should confirm to the same standards as [[HRWiki:Glossary]] and be worded like "challenge ''(n.)'': [[Stinkoman]]'s favorite pastime.".
I propose this page for [[:Template:communitycleanup|Community Cleanup Week]] as it's a high visibility linked from the Main Page. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 09:27, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
:I was working on this for a while, so do you think it still needs more cleanup? It could use more words possibly, but I can't think of any at the moment. -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 23:42, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
::I still don't like the opening... It sounds kind of... kiddie, somehow. But I don't know how to reword it. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 23:45, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
:::Neither do I. This is frustrating... -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 23:52, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
::::I wrote a new intro and I ''think'' it's okay. What do you think? -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 14:23, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
:::::Lookin' great! I took out some stuff (I don't think it's too encyclopedic to write with the 2nd person perspective) and added in a "see also" section. I'm glad this page is getting a major clean-up (I kept meaning to attend to this page, but kept putting it off). {{User:4kai2lyn6/sig}} 14:37, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
::::::Thanks, kai. I wrote the new intro off the top of my head, so I didn't expect it to be perfect. I think if E.L. Cool comes over to show his approval (since he's the one who started this), we can remove the cleanup tag. -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 14:44, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Cool.
:::::::I just have one problem with the list above — ''Links: Some of the items here already have pages for themsleves'' — I don't think a brief definition is all that bad. I think we can keep some words here that already have articles, (for those who use this page as their primary reference). {{User:4kai2lyn6/sig}} 14:51, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
::::::::Good point. I like this page as it is right now, personally. Are there any words we should add or get rid of before we remove the tag? -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 14:55, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Dunno right now. As they come to mind, people can add 'em in. We should just focus on making this page uniform for now, as opposed to adding/baleeting new words. Also, (and I'm not being wise here; I really am asking), what's the point with merging [[Neologisms]] with this page? This page '''is''' neologisms! (This isn't directed at you, Brightstar; this's a general question). {{User:4kai2lyn6/sig}} 15:03, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
:See my comment on that same talk page. Every word on that page is also here, almost word-for-word. So by "merging" it, we would be deleting [[Neologisms]] and not doing anything to [[Glossary]]. -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 15:07, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
::Ah... Like turning "Neologisms" into a redirect? I thought people wanted, like, a "Neologisms" section at the bottom of this page! (But that doesn't even make sense!) Okay, I get it now. {{User:4kai2lyn6/sig}} 15:11, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Glossary&diff=425286&oldid=424188 Very nice work]! I want to give a good cheer to Loafing and DarkAlex, but especially to Brightstar Shiner and 4kai2lyn6 for great clean up they did in only two days of consecutive work. the page looks wonderful and the has-been [[Neologism]] page is now redirected to it. It happens a lot to me that I propose something but never actually go to do it myself, but I couldn't have done a better job! {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 07:30, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

== All Up Ons ==

Forgive me for dropping in unannounced, but I always took, "the ladies will be all up ons" to mean not that, "the ladies will be great," but that, "the ladies will be in an uncontrollably makey-outey state." For example, the Ab-Abber 2000 does not turn the ladies in the vicinity into great ladies, but rather your presence after usage now puts the ladies into an excited state. Hope this is the right way to bring up such a point --- it is my first attempt at wiki-ing. -kielejocain
:Umm, yeah, I agree... it doesn't make any sense as listed. In addition, the page that it links to has a different definition. I'm gonna go ahead and change it. [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 01:05, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Crack Stuntman

CoachX — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 11:40:31 GMT

CoachX: Just a bit of harmless fun. DON'T REVERT!

[[Image:CrackStuntman.PNG|thumb|"BLAAAAH'm Crack Stuntman."]]
[[Image:Sketchbook-4-5-07.PNG|thumb|left|Sketch'd!]]
'''Crack Stuntman''' is the voice actor for [[Gunhaver|The Gunshaver]] on the [[Cheat Commandos]]. He apparently doesn't take his job too seriously, since he never seems to have a firm idea of how his character's name is correctly pronounced (he's pronounced it "Gun-hay-ver" and "The Gun Shaver", and also referred to him as "the cowboy one"), and has incorrectly referred to the cartoon as "the Cheat Command-show". Some boxes of [[Minor Foods|Cheat Commandos...O's]] therefore have a Crack Stuntman mask on the back, which [[Homestar Runner]] wore in [[specially marked]]. Crack has been seen in a rap music video/public service announcement trying to convince kids not to play with too many knives and to inform them about Spring Break. He is also the national spokesperson of [[Pistols For Pandas]]. According to the email [[rated]], he also starred in the ''Fists of Knuckles'' series, a RRR-rated movie series directed by [[A. Chimendez]].

According to the email [[original]], for a time he manned [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] under the name "Crack Stuntbubs" after the departure of [[Original Bubs]]. [[Marzipan]], however, later suggested that the whole email was a product of [[Strong Bad]]'s [[History According to Strong Bad|imagination]].

During the recording of [[The Next Epi-Snowed]], Crack Stuntman was shown to be both uncooperative and bossy. He insisted on changing the script, providing the voice for [[Crackotage]] instead and even introducing [[New Bad Guy Girl Character|an entirely new character]] for [[Crack Stuntman's Girlfriend|his girlfriend]]. Eventually, A. Chimendez inserted [[Agent Chimendez|his own character]] to remove Gunhaver from the episode before trapping Crack Stuntman in a box. It is later implied that Crack Stuntman will be replaced before Gunhaver's next appearance.

Crack Stuntman played the title character of a [[Strong Badman]] movie because Strong Bad deemed him inappropriate for the role.

He is a Caucasian man in his late twenties or early thirties, with short cropped blond hair and a five o'clock shadow. His [[Cool Glasses|shades]] are very similar to Gunhaver's. He claims to be pretty tall. Crack Stuntman bears a strong resemblance to the briefing-screen character from the [[Nintendo|NES]] game [[Wikipedia:Bad Dudes|''Bad Dudes'']].

His personality is very reminiscent of the G.I. Joe character [[Wikipedia:Sgt. Slaughter (G.I. Joe)|Sergeant Slaughter]], voiced by the professional wrestler of the same name.

Stinkoman loves BREAD, but boy does he hate SOAP, APPLES, EARS and P's.
Falling from the skies and bove.

EVASIVE ACTION!!

'''1UP''' - Apparently you've gotta save this guy. (No, there aren't five of them in real life! Jeez! Quit writing already!)

====Boss 4 - Saargtsson====

Saargtsson rarely plays fair. He'll often employ the help of his firey hot friend, Firey-Hot. Smash his tail bit by bit by bit by bit until he doesn't have a head to stand on. Watch out for those fierce laser blasts and you'll be sure to have a blast with Saargtsson.

'''STAFULTER''' - Man, can't you kill ANYTHING on this level? This flying plug-duck saunters around like it's goin outta style!

'''POSTLETHWAITE''' - A gloomy, dark cloud, ol' P-thwaite is real jealous of the pink clouds and zaps them to and fro! Don't get caught in the middle of this domestic cloud-spute!!

'''PROTEK''' - Watch out for the 3-pronged, 2-prong attack! Take out his cord first, then go for the face!

'''HASH-HAW''' - What kind of a name is Hash-haw for anyone to have anyway? Time your jumps! Take your lumps!

====Boss 6 - The Liekand====

You will probably not be able to beat this guy. I'm sorry. He is a truly great warrior with firm resolve and sweet shades. And I mean, come on, he shoots bubbles. BUBBLES!

''"Fashion first, ask sections later." -The Liekand''

===[[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 7|Level 7 - Ice 2 Meet U]]===

Someone zapped Stinkoman with red button lightning, and now he's freezing it off in the Ice Zone! Remember to keep the faucet running or your pipes will burst!

'''MY BENJ''' - These little cuties are hoppin mad! They gather in groups and have roundtable discussions about all things kill-Stinkoman. Aim low, sweet chariot!

'''STOTHOS''' - Part tank, part tank robot, Stothos shoots both ways and hopes to get into a good school. Shoot. Jump. Repeat!

'''FULLBIDE''' - Fullbide has one of the best names in this game. Better than Chorch or Tortan even! He'll swoop down on Stinkoman from either side and spin around like he belongs in a top-down shooter!

'''SEEPER MO''' - These ice crystals will stop at nothing. Stinkoman better think seriously about jumping o'er thems.

'''DITMARS''' - Contrary to this drawing, Ditmars is NOT a tree and a blanket. She is a vent that shoots froze-jets that will turn you into town square!

'''BIZTAR''' - Aw, man, Biztar didn't do nothin'. Come on, let's go.

====Boss 7 - An Ice Machine====

An Ice Machine shoots ice and frozen style at you. Cryptic messages in the sand. Shoot him in the eyes like most bosses in this game.

''"LOOK! I'M TRYING! OKAY?!" -An Ice Machine''

===[[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level -0|Level 8 - Negatory]]===

DON'T BLOW INTO YOUR CARTRIDGE!! YOUR GAME PAK IS NOT BROKE! Stinkoman has just been zapped into the fabled Negative Zone where everything is screwed up. Ump is down and black is right in this crazy, mixed-up label. Don't trust your senses! Only quick timing and short tempers can get our hero out of this one. Negative great!

====Boss 8 - Ekersby====

Poor Ekersby. He's a jumble of good, good graphics from the rest of the game. Don't let his ham-heartedness get you down!

''"You were NEVER there for me." - Ekersby''

===[[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 9|Level 9 - Turbolence]]===

Stinkoman hops inside his mostly cool ship, The Stinkowing, hoping to take a shortcut through an evil jungle. But the mysterious challenger sends out an entire seafood platter. Man the tartar cannons!!

'''PRUDENCH''' - Peeled, deveined, and totally INSANE! These skrimps are butterflied and ready to die. Great with butter but I prefer ceviche!

'''DOLMERLAY''' - This is a robotic clam but that's just between you and me. Dolmy's shell will deflect your shots, but get him talking about work or his kids and it's all over.

'''ROLDHAP''' - These anemones are always firing their mouths off. LITERALLY! Watch out for their stinging mouth shots. The red light knows all and tells all!

'''SEMULADE''' - These shark-ships fear no Stinko and will hurl themselves at our hero after a moment's rest. Head down, power through!

'''FUNDLAKE''' - You can shoot a Fundlake, boh yes, but a Fundlake will come back. Shoot late, hurry on!

'''SACKASTANO''' - These goldfish ships travel in schools! Be careful after 1st period or they'll try and sell you an elevator pass!

'''QUORVEKT''' - That is a great drawing of a stingray with guns on it. I really like the perspective. This might be my favorite drawing in this manual. hard2kill.

'''BROODACRE''' - A jungle-ized bolcano with extra rocks! Broody has 2 flaming boulders to juggle. Get all up in his business and figure out that pattern!

'''REID''' - Reids are punk jellyfish with high GPA's. They ALWAYS travel single file except when it is determined that they are NOT traveling single file. Watch for their trademark Reid-thrust!

====Boss 9 - Harvax XVII====

Named after the moon on which he was born, Harvax XVII is a small but speedy octopus or squid. His ink attacks won't come off so dodge carefully. His beak just might hold the key.

''"That description is ALL WRONG!" -Harvax XVII''

===Giving Up Already?!===

Stinkoman must be ashamed of you! Get back in the game and try out these rules and hints!!

*play the game every day, even after mom says no 
*new and exciting recipes 
*hold B 
*ask your parents 
*walk and talk 
*table the label! wear your own brand!

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===

*[[Wikipedia:Gmbh|GmbH]] is the German acronym for "Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung", literally translating as "Company with limited liability", and roughly comparable to the abbreviations "Ltd." or "LLC."
*[[Wikipedia:Ceviche|Ceviche]] is a dish that originated in Peru and primarily consists of chunks of raw fish and sliced onion in lime or lemon juice.

===Remarks===

[[Image:hamheart.png|thumb|''Left:'' Ekersby's heart ''Right:'' The King of Town's heart]]
*[[Stinkoman_20X6_Enemies#Bosses|Ekersby]] has a [[ham]] for a heart, just as it is shown that [[The King of Town]] does (in [[Halloween Fairstival]]).
*The description for [[Stinkoman 20X6 Enemies#Bosses|Harvax XVII]] matches that of an enemy in level 9 not shown in the Stinkomanual.

===Goofs===

*When version 5 (up to level 7) of the game was first released, the level 6 portion of the Stinkomanual mysteriously vanished (and no level 7 portion was put in its place.) It was replaced later in the day.
*When Level 9 was first released, Levels 6, 7, and -0 mysteriously disappeared on some computers.
*The manual lists Level 3 as "Up'N'Down", while its true title is "Dumb Wall".

===Inside-References===

*In the Level 6 section another mention of [[Ducks]] is used.
*The line "Blast em up [[Dan]]!" is an adaptation of "fry 'em up, Dan!" from [[TROGDOR!]]
*[[1-Up]] "taking matters into his own torso" refers to his [[lack of visible arms]].
*Postlethwaite being abbreviated to "P-thwaite" refers to [[Piemonade]] being shortened to "P-nade" in [[other days]].

===Real-World References===

*The description of the Bendini Sisters refers to the [[Wikipedia:Phil Collins|Phil Collins]] song [http://www.philcollins.co.uk/air.htm "In the Air Tonight"].
*The phrase "Table the Label" is from a motivational video hosted by [[Wikipedia:Mr. T|Mr. T]] called ''[[Wikipedia:Be Somebody... or Be Somebody's Fool!|Be Somebody... or Be Somebody's Fool!]]
*Postlethwaite is likely named after [[IMDb:nm0000592|Pete Postlethwaite]], an actor best remembered from the film "The Usual Suspects" from 1995.
*"Another green salad, another iced tea" is a lyric from [http://www.xs4all.nl/~bigron/sonic/sylgoo.html#02 "Tunic (Song For Karen)"] by [[Wikipedia:Sonic Youth|Sonic Youth]].
*Gokul's description holds a line from [[Wikipedia:Leonard Bernstein|Leonard Bernstein's]] musical ''[[Wikipedia:West Side Story|West Side Story]]''.
*The quote on Saargtsson's page is attributed to Saargtson-Bosch GmbH. [http://www.bosch.com/content/language2/html/index.htm Robert Bosch GmbH] is an actual German company.
*The phrase "aim low, sweet chariot" in the My Benj entry is a reference to the song [[Wikipedia:Swing Low, Sweet Chariot|Swing Low, Sweet Chariot]].
*Gaspeau's description "In like a lion and out like Gaspeau" refers to the saying, "In like a lion, out like a lamb."
*In the description for level 8/-0, the Stinkomanual advises you not to blow into your cartridge. This refers mainly to the original [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|Nintendo system]], which was extremely sensitive to dust. One of the most popular ways to "fix" a game that had dust collect in it was to blow into it.
*The negatory world is a reference to the famous [[Wikipedia:Minus World|minus world]] in [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]], which was a glitch world obtained through jumping through a wall in world 1-2, explaining the quote "IN SIDE A WALL!!"
*"Hold B" is likely another reference to [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]], in which holding B causes Mario to run faster.
*"Stlunko, 404" probably refers to HTTP error [[404'd]] (file not found).
*"Up 'N' Down" may refer to a video game called "[http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=U&game_id=10273 Up'n Down].

Yes, um, i'm The Rocket Master, and i'm NOT a loyal fan.

I haven't been one for years. I only heard about Homestar two years ago. (I can't remember when).

Talk:Baddest of the Bands Walkthrough

CoachX — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 20:03:53 GMT

CoachX: /**/Not enough walktrough.

==Suggested lines==
A few lines for the walkthrough hit me, but I'm not ready to write the walkthrough myself right now (perhaps later).

* Time to go to Marzipan's house to talk to the hottest blonde in the area. ''{break}'' Oh, wait, you thought I meant Marzipan? Sorry, Strong Bad is physically incapable of speaking to her without insulting her.
* You'll want that billy club leaning next to the stage. Strong Sad doesn't mind if you take it. He does, however, mind the years of abuse he's suffered at your hands, and now that he has the power, he'll make sure to remind you. But, hey, at least you got the club, right?
* (regarding Pom Pom) And you thought you were the only cheater in this competition! I'd say two would play at that game, but you were already planning that anyway.

== Have I hit a bug or something? ==

At the moment I'm completely, 100% stuck. It's plainly apparent to me from the Two-O-Duo CD that I'm supposed to make it look as though Coach Z has attempted to steal from Bubs' store, having already gotten him to smash Marzipan's window and toilet paper The Stick.

However, the only hint Strong Bad gives me is something about Bubs pining about the stuff he and Coach Z used to get up to, and how there's gotta be a list somewhere.

I HAVE that list. I've had it for ages. Am I doing something wrong, or missing something here?

And if I'm supposed to find and speak to Coach Z, he's nowhere to be found...

Hey, I was just wondering why you blocked the anonny 68.39.230.211, when he'd only made three edits? Yes, he plugged the Sandbox with nonsensical links, but couldn't you have talked to him and asked him to stop it? I'm not sure if you did talk to him or not.

== If you notice anything strange... ==

This may just be me being paranoid, but I just thought I'd let you know that MySpace told me I got phished and... I kinda had this thing going where I used the same password for everything... including my email, in which I saved an email to myself detailing how to log in to my account on this website...

So, if anybody does anything funny under my account, I just thought I should let someone with special authorities and privileges and whatnot know about it (although I have since changed my password). I might start a new account just in case, but I'm not sure yet how that'll work out.

Anyway... now you know. {{User:Lux Acerbus/sig}} 18:10, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
:Don't start a new account. Changing your password should be adequate. By the way, to add a section to a talk page, just click the little plus (+) next to the edit button.

== Forum Redirect ==

Since the HRWiki forum is down, alot of the regular users have taken refuge to http://www.inversetiger.com/forum/ . However, pretty much the only way for people on the forum to communicate to each other now is by email. Since barely anyone shows their email address, the last resort option is to communicate by editing your sig. Even then, most people don't go looking through a locked forum looking at people's sigs(which is where I found the link). The result: Only the regular users found link. So, I figured that it would be best if you posted some sort of link on the front page of the Wiki or something so people can find it.

== Fanstuff Purge: Wiki User Emails ==

There are currently a few Wiki User Emails on the list of fanstuffs to be saved, and it's been decided that this would be a great chance to get them over to the Wiki User Wiki. My question is whether it would be easier to use whatever fancy method you're using to transfer them across or whether it would be easier to just do it manually. 
Cheers, {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 19:39, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
:I don't know if this is the specific fancy way that DC's going to use, but if you want to transfer stuff, then the easy way is to go to [[HRFWiki:Special:Export]], and put in all the page-names (one per line), and mash go. That'll give you an XML file that you can feed into Special:Import on WUW (you'll need to be sysop to use Special:Import, but Special:Export can usually be run by anyone). As well as being able to copy lots of pages in one hit, you can also (if you want) include each page's history, and all the templates they use. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 22:47, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Random Toon

CoachX — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 04:35:00 GMT

CoachX: They have an article on the movie, ya know.

[[Image:The Randomiser.gif|frame|'Round and 'round it goes...where it stops nobody knows...]]
==Random Toon Button==
The '''Random Toon Button''' was added to the main pages alongside [[Quote of the Week]], [[Weekly Fanstuff]], and [[Sketchbook]] on September 12, 2005 and can be accessed by clicking the button labeled ''R''. It loads a random [[Toon]], [[Strong Bad Email]], [[Marzipan's Answering Machine]], or [[Teen Girl Squad]]. If you don't like the selection it comes up with, you can press the "again" button on the left side of the box before you are redirected, which will restart the selection process. You can also press the "close" button on the right of the box to abort the selection.

==random.bat==
A similar button was also added to the top right of the [[Strong Bad Email]] menu on September 12, 2005, along with a [[Scroll Button Song]] referencing it. It is labeled "random.bat" and appears in the top-right corner of the computer screen. Pressing it causes the menu to select several random emails in sequence. When it is done, it loads the last random email it picked. [[Strong Bad]] says one of several things when it's activated:

*'''STRONG BAD:''' Brrrrrrakatakatakataka...ta..ka...tick...tick... Brring!
*'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{higher pitched and louder}'' Lakalakalakalaka... tuck... tuck... tuck... tuck... ''{low pitched}'' Bong.
*'''STRONG BAD:''' How 'bout this one? Donk. ''{a random email is then picked without a roulette of emails}''
*'''STRONG BAD:''' Broooodagadagadaga..da..ga..da...ga... Doosh.

==Navigation Bar==
The random toon button was also added to the navigation bar at the bottom of every page. It reads "rando". It doesn't show the roulette box, simply jumping straight to another toon. Thus far, this has not been added to the special navbars of [[Main Page 22]] or [[virus]], since the navbar is part of the .swf. On most of the toons, they use main_nav.swf.

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*Some of the names of toons were too long for the Main Page random box, leaving the last few letters cut off. They were soon renamed to fit.

*The Random toon button also resulted in [[The Brothers Chaps]] formatting all the puppet stuff to html format.

===Remarks===
* When the rando link in the navigation bar loads a Puppet Stuff, it is placed on a light blue background. This is because a Puppet Stuff is layered over another page, but the rando link doesn't work with this. The Random Toon button on the Main Pages does allow an external Flash link to be layered over them, so a Puppet Stuff is layered over them.
* ".bat" is the filename extension for [[Wikipedia:Batch file|batch files]], which are text files with a series of commands intended to be executed by the [[Wikipedia:DOS|MS-DOS]] or [[Wikipedia:Microsoft Windows|Windows]] command interpreters.
* While "random.bat" is running, you can still click on the names of the various Strong Bad Emails as they flash on the screen.
*Shortly after being released, a number of minor changes were made to the randomizer. '''The following issues were resolved:'''
**[[Decemberween Puppet Style]] and [[Homestar vs. Little Girl]] (the two [[Decemberween In July]] puppet toons) were not originally included in the random list. There was just a comment in the XML file reading "<tt><nowiki></nowiki></tt>", reminding [[The Brothers Chaps]] to add them.
**[[Labor Dabor]] didn't originally work, as the urls for the html and swf files were reversed in the XML.
**If you clicked the '''R''' button on the main page more than once (either after closing the randomizer box or while it was up), and it picked a Strong Bad Email, the email number in the URL would be larger than the correct number by the number of Strong Bad Emails (it would redirect you to something like [[HR:sbemail405.html|sbemail405.html]]). This was because it kept a counter of the emails as it read the email names from the XML file, and when you clicked the '''R''' again it re-read the list without resetting the counter.
*** [[flashback]] was immune to this problem, as it has a different URL from the others (to distinguish it from [[Not the 100th Email!!!]], which itself is not in the XML list)
**The Random Toon machine didn't have the "&" or "_" symbols embedded, so [[lures & jigs]] was shown as "SBEMAIL: LURES  JIGS" and [[sb_email 22]] was displayed as "SBEMAIL: SBEMAIL 22".
*Often the new toons are delayed being added to the XML list, and therefore will not yet be selected randomly. Currently, these are:
**[[Commandos in the Classroom]]
**[[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]]
**[[Homestar vs. Other Little Girl]]
* In the XML code, the newest email has the code: new="yup" after it.

=== Goofs ===
*[[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]] links to [[An Important Rap Song]].
*[[Date Nite]] links to [[Strongest Man in the World]].

===Fixed Goofs===
*On Monday, January 9, 2006, when the Scroll Button Rap was updated, a new bug was introduced to random.bat: the screen would not automatically scroll to the e-mails as they are selected by the roulette. This was later fixed.
*[[Strongest Man in the World]] used to appear as "Strongest Man in the Worldk" in the randomizer. This has since been fixed.
*[[The Next Epi-Snowed]] was originally listed in the XML file as <code>ccd06.html</code> instead of <code>[[HR:ccdo6.html|ccdo6.html]]</code>. This was later fixed.

=== Inside References ===
*One of the 'random.bat' raps ends with ''Doosh''. ''Doosh'' was also used in [[The System Is Down (song)|The System Is Down]].

===Real-World References===

Teen Girl Squad

[[Image:TGSMenu13.png|thumb|Teen Girl Squad menu]]
[[Image:teengirlsquad.png|thumb|The girls are looking SO GOOD!]]

'''Teen Girl Squad''' is a purposefully crudely drawn [[comic|manga]] series centering around four stereotypical teenage girls' quest to become popular and to look "SO GOOD!", or so they say. Of course, they never appear to succeed due to being always on a different track. Its origins began in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[comic]], when a girl named Brittany asked [[Strong Bad]] to make a comic strip about her four friends. Strong Bad's spur-of-the-moment comic soon became a series of its own. In each issue, the blandly named girls — [[Cheerleader]], [[So and So]], [[What's Her Face]], and [[The Ugly One]] — perform typical teenage activities, such as going to the mall, attracting cute boys, or babysitting, but Strong Bad's overactive imagination often subjects the girls to strange and gruesome deaths. Being [[Death|killed]] doesn't seem to be a problem for the girls, however, as they always return for the next issue, or sometimes simply later in the episode. The two most popular gags in the series are the girls' catchphrase, "SO GOOD!", and the onomatopoeia used when a character dies — [[-'d]], for example: "Lathe'd!" used to describe What's Her Face's being killed by spinning near a blade. Another common gag involves the girls exclaiming something in the format [[Ow! My X!]] to express pain in an unorthodox area, such as "my most of me" or "my [[style]]".

The descriptions tend to refer to Cheerleader's spoiled nature, So and So's book-smarts, What's Her Face's awkwardness or unpopularity, and The Ugly One's weirdness or lack of hygiene.

Armless Invaders

CoachX — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 09:34:17 GMT

CoachX: Fixed a grammar problem.

[[Image:armlessinvaders.png|thumb|Strong Bad defends his country]]

'''[[Lack of Visible Arms|Armless]] Invaders''' is a game that is only accessible by clicking the "O" on [[Strong Bad's Message Bored]].

You are playing {{Film|Strong Bad}}, and the object of this game is to protect [[Strong Badia]] from the legions of falling {{Film|Homestar Runner|Homestar Runners}}. You earn 50 points for each Homestar you shoot down.

== Description ==
Keep Homestar out of Strong Badia! Use the mouse to move around and click to shoot! Aim true though, you can only shoot one bullet at a time.

== Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*The [[sound effect]] of the gun shot is also heard in [[Main Page 13]] when you move your mouse over [[email]].

=== Glitches ===
*When the game says "ready", use your mouse and highlight the number "5" in the "Chances" section. You will then have 1.1 seconds to type something. If you type 0, or any letter, you will get an automatic "GAME OVER". The same method can be used with the score.
**If you type in a number with more than 3 place values, only the first 2 one will be shown.
**After a while Homestar just stops falling completely when using this cheat.
*Sometimes after playing for a long time, the Homestars begin falling in the same place over and over, making it unnecessary to move.

===Inside References===
*When you lose, Homestar's [[Prancing|prance]] is similar to the one in [[The Interview]].

===Real-World References===
*This game is a spoof of the classic arcade game [[Wikipedia:Space Invaders|Space Invaders]].

== Decompiling ==

Can somebody decompile the flash file to see if there is anything actually hidden in the picture or when Strong Bad takes off his mask? It seems like something TBC might put into the flash as a "super secret easter egg". -[[User:AtionSong|AtionSong]] 21:56, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I have a question. What does this have to do with SB's parents? [[User:RocketMasterZ|RocketMasterZ]] 12:23, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

== Danube Largo? ==

I was going to say this is a reference to the Danube river, but then I realized it's probably also a parody of a real person's name. So I'm waiting to see if anyone else has dirt on this. [[User:Octan|Octan]] 22:03, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
:Not of any furniture designer that I'm aware of. I don't think it's a reference to the river so much as to the trend towards nature-related names, such as River, Skye, or Willow.--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 01:59, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
::Wasn't Largo the villain in Thunderbird? (007 movie, for those of you wondering) Could that be a possible reference? {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 02:03, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
:::Thunderb''all'' is the Bond flick. Thunderb''ird'' is a car. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 11:16, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

:::''Largo'' is Italian for "slow". But that has little relevance to its usage here. I think it's likely just something they put together to sound foreign. I don't see a reason to think into it any deeper than that. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:49, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
::::Actually, [[Wikipedia:Largo|Largo]] is a common word. It STILL may be a reference. Just suggesting it. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 03:44, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
An die Schöne Blaue Donau is a world-famous waltz, known in English as "The Blue Danube Waltz," or "The Blue Danube," or "The Danube Waltz." Waltz can be a musical designation, as can Largo. So, "Danube Largo" is a riff on "Danube Waltz," although I doubt that TBC put as much thought into it as I just did. Did either of the Chap brothers study music at some point? -- Unregistered User, M Valdemar.
:::::Actually, there are a few waltzes with "Danube" in the name. And "Largo" is pretty generic. I don't think this needs to necessarily refer to music in any way. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:09, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Still seems more like TTATOT than references to me, though.--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 22:07, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

== Leather ==

I'm thinking that the leather is not "Chairybdian" but is in fact "Corinthian" parodying Ricardo Montalbon and his rather (unintentionally) silly ads for Chrysler in the 80's. But maybe I'm just hearing things.
: I hear Corinthian.--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 01:51, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

== 3 years pre-owned ==

This could just be me and my tendency to mishear things, but does it sound to anyone else like Bubs is saying it's a PRE-OWNED box of chicken beaks, rather than a 3-year-old box of chicken beaks? --[[User:Kiwi|Kiwi]] 17:54, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
:I hear it as 'pre-owned'. [[User:Cara Carabowditbowdit|Cara Carabowditbowdit]] 23:11, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
::I also hear pre-owned. {{User:Salty/sig}} 01:16, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

:::::I wrote the transcript here and heard "3 year old" the first time, but after listening a few more times I realized Bubs did in fact say "pre-owned". I kept trying to change the transcript to match but I kept getting Edit Conflict! ARGH!! Anyways, yes; he does indeed say pre-owned. — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 14:33, 5 December 2006

== Buzzer sound ==

It's the same buzzer sound as the old "deleted" buzzer. "Remarks"? "Inside references"? Is it even wiki-worthy? [[User:Tbone762|Tbone762]] 23:38, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
:Nope. It's just a [[Sound Effects|sound effect]]. You should list it there, though, if it's not already. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:06, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

== melon-chair ==

Is the stool supposed to be the same face as the cantelope he stole from Marzipan?
:You mean [[Doreauxgard]]? I don't really think so. The chair doesn't bear much of a resmblance to him. {{User:Spyrox6/sig}}
:i thought the same thing. it's VERY similar...if not almost exactly the same
::I compared the picture in the article to the face on the chair, and they're almost identical, except for the forehead wrinkles.--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 22:17, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

== This is the one where Scratchy finally gets Itchy! ==

The way Strong Bad says he will never take off his mask again reminds me of a [http://www.snpp.com/episodes/1F02.html Simpsons episode] where Scratchy ''finally'' gets the better of Itchy instead of vice versa in one of their episodes. The TV gets unplugged as Bart and Lisa are watching, and they end up missing it. When the TV gets plugged back in, Krusty says, "Wow! They'll never let us show that again, not in a million years!" — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:12, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
: It does seem similar in a kinda this-is-not-a-referencey sort of way. :p --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:26, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
::I saw that one as well, and I don't think there's a notable similarity at all. The "now that you can't see it, I'll finally reveal all the secrets" gag is an old one.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:39, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
:::Quite. Which is why I posted it here and not in the fun facts. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:49, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

== Chickenella ==

Just wondering since I suspect it'd be removed or STUFFed: How notable is it that Strong Bad probably meant Salmonella, which is commonly associated with chicken, rather than the mammal-specific Anthrax? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:13, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
*meh, i did notice that also, but it is much too much ttatot. also i love the ethical tag. its funny. {{User:Csours/sig}} 01:29, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

== Ecochair != Tempurpedic ==

So someone put up a reference saying the ecochair was a reference to tempurpedic mattresses. I don't get how this could possibly be. That chair is NOTHING like a mattress. I figured it was a fairly vague reference to IKEA furniture, personally.

Yeah, that person's crazy. If my changes weren't universally overridden, I'd change it myself... but i want this to be changed, so i won't change it --[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 00:35, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

:And that would be me! Forgive, for I should've ran this through the discussion thing before I went ahead and made such a bold statement! I figured the Ecochair made a bit of a reference to Tempur-pedic and other such styles of furniture, with their questionable designs made from questionable materials! After re-rewatching the email, it would appear that the ecochair does not, in fact, use crazy memory foam to shape itself to the user! Such a reference is quite a bad decision. --[[User:The only known copy of the failed pilot episode of the Limozeen Saturday morning cartoon show|Crazy Person]]

I'd actually say that chair is more like those crazy chairs designed to fix bad posture. --[[User:Xifihas|Xifihas]]

== Anthraxy ==

Anyone else think that Winger is less anthraxy, not because of the disease anthrax, but because Winger is not like the band Anthrax, thus they are less Anthraxy? --[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 01:01, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah, it seemed like a bit of word-play to me.--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 01:44, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
::That seems extremely likely to me. Winger and Anthrax both thrived in the late '80s, which is a particularly common era for TBC to reference. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:54, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
:::Incidentally, wasn't Winger referenced in [[death metal]]? -{{User:YK/sig}} 04:20, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
I don't particularly care whether we list the links to Anthrax (both kinds) and Winger in Explanations or Real-World References, but we ''don't'' need to spell out the above joke. The links are enough. Let the viewer put together the humor. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:30, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
:Well, at least someone spelled it out here, coz I'd never get it otherwise. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::It seems like some kind of reference--spelling it out or not--would be good. I'm not up to date on that kind of music anymore, but it seems likely that there will be a good number of people who won't have heard of Anthrax, 20 years after their heyday (ouch!).--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 22:11, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

==Truely==
Is Strong Bad's pronouciation of of the misspelled truely, a reference to his pronounciation of truuly in [[modeling]]? How similar are the two?[[User:68.239.209.107|68.239.209.107]] 03:56, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

==Hey, it's Tiptup!==
Bubs says both 'Tip' and 'tup', which are parts of the name 'Tiptup', who is a turtle racer in the game Diddy Kong Racing. At least, I think so.--[[User:147.133.207.186|147.133.207.186]] 05:30, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
:"Tip top" is a colloquialism that means "the very top"... and it's a mix-up of "Start at the bottom, and work our way to the top." That "top" is pronounced as "tup" is probably just Bubs being strange. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 05:34, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
::Tiptup the Turtle was the first thing I thought of too, but I think it's just Bubs being random. He does seem to be acting kind of strange in this email :) {{User:Saturn/sig}} 07:08, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

==SB's Parents==
Just wanted to say that I sent an email to SB last week asking how his parents looked like, kind of surprised to see at least part of it being used. Guess my pronounciation was too good to become an actual e-mail ;) Eitherway, you can never be sure that it actually originated from my e-mail. I'm pretty sure loads of people have sent in the same question. It's just that I find it kind of funny to actually get some kind of an answer :)

Yeah, I think that question had probably been asked quite a bit. The one time I sent SB an email (which was a couple years ago) part of it inquired about his parents. The rest suggested his he and his brothers might all be adopted, since they bear no resemblance to each other.

:Pronunciation? Was it audio email? Has Strong Bad done audio email before? - anonymous

== Parts? ==

Does that refer to the same thing that The Ugly One's intro in Issue 2 refers to? EEEEEWWW!! I wouldn't think they'd make deezguzzteeng hints to dat. EEEEWW!! --{{User:Homfrog/sig}} 11:21, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
:Psoriasis? I see no connection here, unless I'm just rather thick right now. (I ''am'' pulling an all-nighter just so I can't oversleep and miss class and it's 5:30.) {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 11:26, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

== Hate? ==

I don't hear "Hate, hate, hate this email", I hear "Hey, hey, hey, it's email." Anyone else agree? -- [[User:4.244.214.55|4.244.214.55]] 12:59, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
:Yes. The Hate vs. Hey is hard to distinguish, but "it's" is a give-away. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 14:08, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

== Treatment of Chickens ==

I noticed [It's dot com] deleted a comment I added to the Fun Facts section of "the chair". Please look [[wikipedia:Chicken|it]] up. This is a direct quote:
"Domestic chickens are typically fed commercially prepared feed that includes a protein source as well as grains. Chickens often scratch at the soil to get at adult insects and larvae or seed. Incidents of cannibalism can occur when a curious bird pecks at a preexisting wound or during fighting (even among female birds). This is exacerbated in close quarters. In commercial egg and meat production this is controlled by trimming the beak (removal of ⅔ of the top half and occasionally ⅓ of the lower half of the beak)."
This most likely explains the "ethical" label on Bubs box of Chick'n beaks

He could have twisted his hand around, pulled straight up, and then untwisted his hand to hold up the mask for us to see. Furthermore, if TBC had animated it in any other way, it wouldn't have been as effective in showing off the mask.

This doesn't make any sense, even if it were a connection to something. It sure needs to be cleaned up if it is something more than a coincidence.

An die Schöne Blaue Donau is a world-famous waltz, known in English as "The Blue Danube Waltz," or "The Blue Danube," or "The Danube Waltz." Waltz can be a musical designation, as can Largo.

== This is the one where Scratchy finally gets Itchy! ==

The way Strong Bad says he will never take off his mask again reminds me of a [http://www.snpp.com/episodes/1F02.html Simpsons episode] where Scratchy ''finally'' gets the better of Itchy instead of vice versa in one of their episodes. The TV gets unplugged as Bart and Lisa are watching, and they end up missing it. When the TV gets plugged back in, Krusty says, "Wow! They'll never let us show that again, not in a million years!" — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:12, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

== Ecochair != Tempurpedic ==

So someone put up a reference saying the ecochair was a reference to tempurpedic mattresses. I don't get how this could possibly be. That chair is NOTHING like a mattress. I figured it was a fairly vague reference to IKEA furniture, personally.

Yeah, that person's crazy. If my changes weren't universally overridden, I'd change it myself... but i want this to be changed, so i won't change it --[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 00:35, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

:And that would be me! Forgive, for I should've ran this through the discussion thing before I went ahead and made such a bold statement! I figured the Ecochair made a bit of a reference to Tempur-pedic and other such styles of furniture, with their questionable designs made from questionable materials! After re-rewatching the email, it would appear that the ecochair does not, in fact, use crazy memory foam to shape itself to the user! Such a reference is quite a bad decision. --[[User:The only known copy of the failed pilot episode of the Limozeen Saturday morning cartoon show|Crazy Person]]

==Truely==
Is Strong Bad's pronouciation of of the misspelled truely, a reference to his pronounciation of truuly in [[modeling]]? How similar are the two?[[User:68.239.209.107|68.239.209.107]] 03:56, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

:"Tip top" is a colloquialism that means "the very top"... and it's a mix-up of "Start at the bottom, and work our way to the top." That "top" is pronounced as "tup" is probably just Bubs being strange. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 05:34, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

==SB's Parents==
Just wanted to say that I sent an email to SB last week asking how his parents looked like, kind of surprised to see at least part of it being used. Guess my pronounciation was too good to become an actual e-mail ;) Eitherway, you can never be sure that it actually originated from my e-mail. I'm pretty sure loads of people have sent in the same question. It's just that I find it kind of funny to actually get some kind of an answer :)

Yeah, I think that question had probably been asked quite a bit. The one time I sent SB an email (which was a couple years ago) part of it inquired about his parents. The rest suggested his he and his brothers might all be adopted, since they bear no resemblance to each other.

:Pronunciation? Was it audio email? Has Strong Bad done audio email before? - anonymous

== Treatment of Chickens ==

I noticed [It's dot com] deleted a comment I added to the Fun Facts section of "the chair". Please look [[wikipedia:Chicken|it]] up. This is a direct quote:
"Domestic chickens are typically fed commercially prepared feed that includes a protein source as well as grains. Chickens often scratch at the soil to get at adult insects and larvae or seed. Incidents of cannibalism can occur when a curious bird pecks at a preexisting wound or during fighting (even among female birds). This is exacerbated in close quarters. In commercial egg and meat production this is controlled by trimming the beak (removal of ⅔ of the top half and occasionally ⅓ of the lower half of the beak)."
This most likely explains the "ethical" label on Bubs box of Chick'n beaks

''{The title appears — ''"LET US GIVE TANKS!!" written by A. Chimendez'' — over a shot of the Cheat Commando base in red, orange, yellow, and brown hills in the background and falling leaves. Light, percussive music plays.}''

''{Gunhaver and Silent Rip appear in front of the control panel and video screen, watching shaky video of three Cheat Commandos being assaulted by blue lasers and explosions on a smoky, war-torn landscape.}''

'''CHEAT COMMANDO:''' We're taking heavy losses, sir. They've got us pinned down! We really need—

''{The video image is interrupted by a siren and a yellow and orange screen with the text, "Thanksgiving Break Alert"}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' All right! Thanksgiving break!

''{The screen fades through static back to the Cheat Commandos}''

'''CHEAT COMMANDO:''' But sir! We could really use some—

''{Gunhaver turns off the monitor and turns to Silent Rip}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' I ''love'' Thanksgiving break!

''{The camera focuses on Silent Rip}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Uh, shouldn't we go help him?

''{The camera zooms out to include Gunhaver, along with Reinforcements and Fightgar}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Naw, he's just one of those green helmets. We got like fifty of them. So, what's everybody doing for the holiday?

''{The camera shifts to Reynold}''

'''REYNOLD:''' I'm going to stay at my parents' house! If they haven't rented out my room... again... to my brother.

''{Gunhaver salutes the Cheat Commandos as they leave}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Well, have a good time, soldiers. I'll just be here in case Blue Laser tries to blow up over-the-river-and-through-the-woods... so that no one to grandmother's house... can go.

''{The scene shifts to a small cottage in the autumn woods with a gravel path and smoke rising out of the stone chimney. Transition music plays}''

''{Cut to the inside of the cottage. A Blue Laser minion is preparing a turkey in the kitchen. Blue Laser Commander enters, brandishing a meat fork.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' I thought I told you to fiendishly dice the evil onions!

'''BLUE LASER MINION 1:''' No sir.

''{The camera pans to a second Blue Laser Minion chopping onions with fiendish faces drawn on them on the counter.}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION 2:''' That was me, sir.

''{Camera pans back to Blue Laser Commander}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' I can never tell you two apart! ''{hurls the meat fork into the offscreen second minion's eye}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION 2:''' Ow.

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' There! Now you're the one with the fork stuck in your eye!

''{The door crashes open and the Fightgar, Firebert, and Silent Rip enter, armed with guns.}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Sorry Blue Laser — the only thanks ''you'll'' be giving is getting shot by us with our bullet-shooting guns!

''{Blue Laser Commander approaches the Cheat Commandos}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' What?!

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Aw, just kiddin'. ''{smiles, along with Firebert}'' Thanks for havin' us over!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' ''{laughs and smiles}'' You really had me going for a second there. Get in here, you guys!

''{Fightgar, Firebert, and Silent Rip enter, followed by Ripberger}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Ripberger, you made it! ''{Ripberger stops at the door}'' I thought you were only available for a limited time with three proofs of purchase!

'''RIPBERGER:''' I brought some ambrosia salad! ''{displays the salad}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Uh! Where's Gunhaver?!

''{The camera pans to Fightgar and Silent Rip}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' ''{scratching his head}'' Uh, we kinda didn't give him your invitation. Gunhaver has a bit of a hard time cutting loose.

''{The scene cuts to Gunhaver in the Cheat Commandos base, saluting a flag labeled "The Flag" which is being blown by a fan.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Forty-seven! Forty-eight! Forty-nine! Fifty! C'mon Gunhaver, you maggot! Give me fifty more! One! Two! Three!

''{The scene cuts back to the cottage, with Blue Laser Commander and Fightgar at a table with plates, the turkey, and yams with marshmallows.}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Uh... I guess... Claude Monet, and um... Manchester United!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' That's good, that's good! Now what about you, Silent Rip?!

''{The camera pans over to Silent Rip.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' I'm thankful for this bountiful Blue Laser Thanksgiving action playset!

''{A "ding" noise is heard and the words "CHEAP AS FREE" appear in a cloud bubble in the corner of the scene}''

''{The camera cuts to Crackotage}''

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' I'm thankful for the gift of rhyme!!

''{The camera cuts to Ripberger}''

'''RIPBERGER:''' Ambrosia salad!

''{The camera cuts back to Crackotage}''

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' I'm also thankful for this lime! ''{holds up a lime}'' Hibbety-jeebity!

''{The camera cuts to Blue Laser Commander}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Plutonium at closeout prices!

''{The camera cuts to a Blue Laser minion}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION 1:''' I'm thankful I don't have a fork in my eye, sir.

''{The camera cuts back to Blue Laser Commander}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' My Nana's new hip!

''{The camera cuts to the Blue Laser minion with a fork stuck through his visor into his eye}''

'''BLUE LASER MINION 2:''' I'm... thankful for this fork in my eye.

''{The scene cuts to Gunhaver, facing the camera in front of the control panel.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' So I exchanged it for something of lesser value, and they gave me the rest in store credit!

''{The camera comes behind Gunhaver's back to show him standing in front of the video monitor with the anonymous Cheat Commando onscreen.}''

'''CHEAT COMMANDO:''' That's great sir! A real value. But we could really use some air support.

'''GUNHAVER:''' Yeah, I should go too. Gotta check in on Blue Laser.

'''CHEAT COMMANDO:''' Please, NO—

''{Gunhaver brings up the Blue Laser cottage on the video monitor, showing Blue Laser Commander, Fightgar, Silent Rip, and a Blue Laser minion at the table with the turkey.}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' Ambros-er-a salad... sayin' right, right, right, right...

'''GUNHAVER:''' Tight buns! Blue Laser has captured the Cheat Commandos and is forcing them to sit down to a delicious meal and pleasant conversation! Hang on, boys. Daddy Gunhavvy's on his way! ''{walks away from the monitor}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' But I'm ''not'' thankful for that guy over there with the camera!

''{The scene cuts to Reinforcements, who is using a camera and lights to record the Thanksgiving dinner.}''

'''REINFORCEMENTS:''' Hey, guys.

''{The camera focuses on Silent Rip and Blue Laser Commander}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Uh-oh. You know what ''that'' means.

''{The camera cuts to Fightgar.}''

'''FIGHTGAR:''' It won't be long before...

''{Gunhaver comes out of the turkey pointing a handgun. The Cheat Commandos theme music plays in the background.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Gobble, gobble... you're in trobble!

'''CRACKOTAGE:''' ''{offscreen}'' Hey, that's not bad!

''{The camera cuts to Blue Laser Commander.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Gunhaver! You actually have a gun!

''{The camera cuts back to Gunhaver, with the silhouettes of two Cheat Commandos in the foreground}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' Cheat Commandos, run! For cover! ''{camera zooms in}'' Blue Laser is clearly trying to have you all over for dinner!

''{The camera cuts to Silent Rip.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Uh, yeah! He invited you too! But we didn't tell you because we were afraid you'd do something like this!

''{The camera cuts back to Gunhaver.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' And I did! The Cheat Commandos win again!

''{The camera cuts to Blue Laser Commander.}''

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Well, since you're here... ''{clasps his hands together}'' Play us a song, won't you Charles?

''{The camera pans past several Cheat Commandos, all murmuring in agreement}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' A—a song? No, I couldn't possibly... it's been so long, I...

''{The camera cuts back to Gunhaver, with a small, dirty Cheat Commando wearing a cap behind him.}''

'''OLIVER SMIDGEN:''' Won't you play us a song, Gun'aver?

'''GUNHAVER:''' All right, you talked me into it. One song!

''{Cut to Gunhaver sitting at a black upright piano with the Cheat Commandos and Blue Laser gathered around.}''

'''GUNHAVER:''' This is one everybody knows, so give me a hand, boys. ''{begins playing the piano and singing}'' Buy all our playsets and...

'''CHEAT COMMANDOS AND BLUE LASER:''' Ooh!

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{singing}'' Buy all our playsets and...

''{Ripberger descends upside-down from the ceiling.}''

'''CHEAT COMMANDOS AND BLUE LASER:''' Ah!

'''GUNHAVER:''' ''{singing}'' Buy all our playsets and...

'''EVERYONE:''' ''{singing}'' Toys!

''{The camera pans past Fightgar, Silent Rip, and the Blue Laser minion with the fork in his eye. The camera focuses on the piano keys, which Gunhaver is playing the Cheat Commandos theme song, and then cuts back to everyone in front of the piano}''

'''EVERYONE:''' Yeah!

'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' A holiday classic!

''{Smoke begins wafting through the top of the room.}''

'''SILENT RIP:''' Uh, what's that smell?

'''FIGHTGAR:''' How should I know? You're the one called Silent Rip!

'''GUNHAVER:''' That's all me. I stuck a nuclear device in the oven in case I didn't make it out of here alive! ''{several of the attendees open their mouths in surprise}''

''{The scene cuts to Reynold's room, with his brother playing video games. There are several speakers in the room; the ones in the foreground are shaking as they play music. The Blue Laser cottage can be seen outside the window with smoke rising from it.}''

'''MUSIC:''' No one understands me! No one understands me!

''{Reynold enters the room, covering his ears}''

'''REYNOLD:''' Will you turn that noise down?!

'''REYNOLD'S BROTHER:''' You're so lame.

'''MUSIC:''' No one understands me... but YOU!'''

''{The Blue Laser cottage explodes in a mushroom cloud as the songs says YOU and the glass window of Reynold's room shatters}''

''{The screen shifts to a picture of Gunhaver coming out of the turkey, with the message, "Happy Thanksgiving! from those Cheat Commandos". The "Buy all our playsets and toys" music plays, without lyrics.}''

*:'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' ''{Holding a plate of food}'' I need you to take this plate of food, make a milkshake out of it, and spread it on Nana's gums for her! 
*:'''BLUE LASER MINION:''' I'm going to go ahead and disobey a direct order, sir. 
*:'''BLUE LASER COMMANDER:''' Understandable!

==Fun Facts==
{{checkstuffpage}}

===Explanations===
*An arch-nemesis becoming a friend or associate in a holiday episode was not uncommon in cartoons produced prior to the mid-nineties. Often the antagonists would show a change of heart for the duration of the episode, but the little-to-no continuity of cartoons then provided no explanation (and due to the general audience's attention spans, no need) for the change back to evil ways.
*The "Green Helmets" are minor, expendable characters added so "heroes" can die without losing any members of the main cast. Such characters are frequently called "[[Wikipedia:Redshirt (stock character)|Redshirts]]", due to the fact that such characters in [[Wikipedia:Star Trek|Star Trek]] usually wore red shirts; in G.I. Joe, they were called "[[Wikipedia:Greenshirts (G.I. Joe)|Greenshirts]]".
*[[Wikipedia:Ambrosia (fruit salad)|Ambrosia salad]] is a fruit salad variation that contains lime jello, sour cream, whipped cream, mandarin oranges, pineapple, and coconut. Some variations also contain bananas, strawberries, or miniature marshmallows.
*Reynold's brother dresses and acts very much like a stereotypical [[Wikipedia:Goth|goth]], though given his age and context is likely to not understand Goth culture (see [[Wikipedia:Mansonite|kindergoth]]). He may also be an "[[Wikipedia:Emo (music)|emo]] kid" due to the music ("No one understands me") and video games.
*Oliver's pronunciation of Gunhaver as "Gun'avah" is a play on "Guv'nuh," a term of British origin used to refer to a person of higher social status.

===Trivia===
*This is the first time the Cheat Commandos are featured in a holiday toon.
*This is the first time Ripberger is heard speaking.
*This is the first Cheat Commandos cartoon to feature civilian characters besides Reynold.
*The Blue Laser Commander exclaims, "Gunhaver! You actually have a gun!" Indeed, in spite of his name, this is the first time Gunhaver is actually seen holding a gun. However, his gun appeared in [[Shopping for Danger]], though Blue Laser Commander never saw it.
*This is the first time that we have heard another name of a Cheat Commando. (Blue Laser says "Play us a song, won't you, Charles?" to Gunhaver.)
*Crackotage's "Hey, that's not bad!" line is the first time we hear him not attempting to conclude what he says with a rhyme.

===Remarks===
*Gunhaver is shown playing C E F B♭ F E. The notes heard are G G A B♭ A G.
*In action figure form, Reynold's brother still has cartoon-style eyes, although it may be because of his disgruntled facial expression.
*When Fightgar enters Blue Laser Cottage, he threatens Blue Laser Comander with their "bullet-shooting guns." In several other Cheat Commando episodes, the gun shoots lasers.
*Reynold's brother's box says he was born in the 90's, meaning he is somewhere between age 7 and age 16.

===Fixed Goofs===
[[Image:Cheat Commandos Lime No Decend.PNG|thumb|The floating lime]]
*Crackotage's arm originally went down after showing the lime, but the lime didn't descend with his arm. This was fixed by removing the downwards arm movement. 

===Inside References===
*The Lil' Steiny piano is a reference to [[Stiny]]'s nickname, Li'l Stiny, from [[superhero name]]. ''(See also: Real-World References)''
*The page title refers to [[A. Chimendez]].
*This is another instance of [[Blood|blood]] in a cartoon.
*This is another instance of [[Cheap as Free]] in a cartoon.
*The price of each Easter egg [[Action_Figure_Character_Variations|action figure]] is [[$11.01]].
*The appearance of Ripberger and the guy holding the camera originated from ideas mentioned in the commentaries for the Cheat Commandos on [[Everything Else, Volume 2]].

===Real-World References===
*The Lil' Steiny piano is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Steinway & Sons|Steinway & Sons]] pianos. ''(See also: Inside References)''
*"Over the river and through the woods" is a reference to the Thanksgiving song, [[Wikipedia:Over the River and Through the Woods|Over the River and Through the Woods]], by Lydia Maria Child.
*Oliver Smidgen is an allusion to [[Wikipedia:Oliver Twist|Oliver Twist]].
*[[Wikipedia:Claude Monet|Claude Monet]] (1840-1926) was a French Impressionist painter.
*[[Wikipedia:Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] Football Club is the English football team most well-known to Americans through [[Wikipedia:David Beckham|David Beckham]]. The reference is also made funnier by the joke associated with the club, that it attracts fans from all corners of the globe except Manchester itself (a recent study showed people with Manchester-area post codes are more likely to support [[Wikipedia:Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]]).
*The poster in Reynold's Brother's room displays the [[Wikipedia:Anarchy|anarchy]] symbol.
*The gun that Gunhaver is holding resembles a Colt .45 [[Wikipedia:M1911|M1911]].
*The second package in the toy Easter egg states "Next Gen Gamepad!" in the corner; this is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:History of video game consoles (seventh generation)|new game consoles]], two of which were released a few days before this toon.

I apologize if this question is completely stupid, but...who thinks Marshie may be a jab at the Carl's Jr/Hardee's "smiling star" logo?

:Yeah, I definitely see the resemblance. I'd never seen a Carl's Jr before I went to California and my first thought was "holy crap, it's Marshie!" I added the similarity to the page. [[User:Mister Mister|Mister Mister]] 22:09, 5 Dec 2004 (MST)

== Marshie Shmellow? ==

Yeah, I think what we have here is a marshemellow family. Mr. Shmellow, the dad, then Marshie Shmellow and little brother Nibbles Shmellow. (from [[bottom 10]]) You think? --{{User:Nerd42/sig}} 19:11, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

== Is marshie immortal? ==

If any of you saw the easter egg at the end of ol' sbemail 149 ([[candy product]]), then you can see that marshie was almost killed and turned into vapor. He says "you can't destroyyyy meeeee!" What, is he like, immortal? [[User:HRfan222|HRfan222]]
:As Marshie is (by all appearances, except ''possibly'' one) an advertising mascot and not a "real" character, I don't think speculation on his "mortality" is really in the scope of discussion here. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 10:07, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

:That variation of Marshie is not a separate character. It's just Marshie with a creepier voice. It doesn't need a whole page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:28, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

== Unevil! ==
I think Marshie isn't evil. Maybe him being labled as a "bad guy" was a mistake made in Strong Bad's video. Plus, I think his demonic voice is just his halloween voice. Do you agree?

no-someone that's not a user and sucks at spelling,but comes here anyways.

== New Picture ==
I think a picture of the huge fat Marshie from the Retirement email should be added. {{unsigned|CTH-I|21:16, 13 October 2006}}

road trip

{{sbenav|156|theme song|trading cards}}
[[Image:Roadtrip_sbemail156.png|thumb|"Road trip city, here we come!"]]

Strong Bad and The Cheat go on a road trip. Or more accurately, a car trip. Or even more accurately, a car.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|The Cheat}}, {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Bubs}} (Easter egg), {{Film|Coach Z}} (Easter egg)

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[The Field]], Inside The [[Gremlin]], [[Bubs' Concession Stand]] (Easter egg)

{{Comp|Lappy 486}}

'''Date:''' September 4, 2006

'''Running Time:''' 4:18

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Good morning, Mr. ''E''-mail, there's a call for you, on line two. ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: road trip</div>
Dear Fatty bad, 
Do you ever go on road trips with your gang?

That guy, from that place
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "I've actually lost two pounds in the last nine months, thank you very much" instead of "Fatty" and "Pete from Pete's parents' basement" instead of "That guy, from that place".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yeah! Me and The Cheat, we're roadtripcionados. And one thing I've found, is that every good road trip needs a good inside joke that only the people that ''went'' on the road trip will get. ''{clears screen}'' And your friends that ''didn't'' go on the road trip will want to kill your legs every time you bring it up. These days, I make up the inside joke before I go on the road trip, just in case one doesn't happen. For this road trip, we'll make it... jumbo/LARGE. Get it? jumbo/LARGE? It's like a maxymoron.

''{Cut to the Field. Strong Bad and The Cheat are standing in front of the Gremlin; an object covered by a yellow-splotched cloth is on the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, you ready to go, The Cheat? Why is Strong Mad hiding under that not-originally-yellow-spotted sheet from Strong Sad's bedroom? Not my bedroom.

''{Pan to the right so that the entire object covered by the sheet is visible}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises. Pulls back the cloth to reveal many stacked aluminum cans. Excited The Cheat noises.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Eighty-something cases of Bull Honkey! ''{close-up of Strong Bad}'' That's my favorite caffeinergy sauce! ''{back to wider view}'' Oh, this road trip is ''definitely'' going to be ''{dances}'' jumbo/LARGE.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{looks annoyed, quizzical The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just laugh at it. It's an inside joke. It's going to be hilarious.

''{Cut to the inside of the Gremlin. The Cheat is sitting behind the wheel. Strong Bad enters the passenger's seat and shuts the car door.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Road trip city, here we come!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Keys? I don't have any keys. Look, the only thing I know about this car is what Bubs told me. And that's that the windows and doors are broken and you can't open them from the inside.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{looks annoyed}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. Right. ''{under his breath}'' That was pretty poor planning on my part.

''{Cut to a distant view of a silhouette of the Gremlin against a yellow sky}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{calling out}'' Bubs? Green Bubs? ''{a tumbleweed rolls by}'' Anybody?

''{cut back to inside the car}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, forget it. I'm not gonna let a little setback like this ruin our road trip. What we need is some grub. Pull over at this next exit up here. ''{The Cheat turns the steering wheel}'' I know a little roadside diner called "Beneath the Passenger's Seat". ''{goes under the seat}''

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

''{Cut to a view of the passenger's seat from above. Strong Bad's leg is visible on the right}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, we got a small order of petrifries ''{brings out three French fries covered in hair}'', a large melt shake that's almost eaten through the cup ''{brings out an old cup that says "Melt Shake" and is stained brown on the bottom}'', ooh, and for dessert, a half-sucked booterscotch in desperate need of a shave ''{brings out an orange, egg-shaped candy covered with hair and a nail-clipping}''.

''{return to front view of the Gremlin}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, cool, that was disgusting. Now alls we need to wash the taste out of our brains is some jammin' tunes!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{exclamatory The Cheat noises. Brings out a CD that says "road trip mix".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A mix CD! ''{singing}'' That, my friend, is jumbo/LARGE. ''{normal voice}'' Now, let's put it in and crank it up!

''{cut to view of Gremlin's dashboard, which contains an eight-track player labeled "8-TRAX".}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{tries to put the CD in the eight-track player. The Cheat noises.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Naw, just force it in there. ''{return to front view of the Gremlin}'' I'm sure that thing's forwards compatible.

''{The Cheat pushes CD into player. The edges of the CD break off.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yeah, The Cheat. These are some jammin' tunes! ''{singing}'' And now we're jammin'! ''{in falsetto}'' Jammin' tunes! Jammin tunes ''{in his normal voice}'' Now we're jammi— ''{shouting quickly}'' Oh, who am I kidding; this is the worst road trip ever! ''{puts his head down on the dashboard}'' The Cheat ''{cut to silhouette view of the Gremlin}'', we're gonna die in this Gremlin!

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

''{The sky darkens}''

'''SINGERS:''' ''{unseen, in high voices}'' And now we're jammin'! Jammin' tunes! Jammin' tunes! Now we're jammin'! jumbo/LAAAAARGE!

''{cut to view of Strong Bad and the Cheat in the Gremlin, this time from an angle}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Like, look at that little stain over there! ''{cut to a view looking up at the car roof}'' That could be a whole 'nother world. With a whole 'nother Strong Bad and The Cheat stuck in a Gremlin. ''{a light shines on The Cheat and Strong Bad.}''

''{cut to a view looking out the window; Homestar Runner is standing outside holding a flashlight}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looking annoyed}'' All right, young lovers. Move it along! What do you think this is, Make-out Point?

''{cut to view of the Gremlin from outside}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, it's me and The Cheat! We're stuck in here!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Unlikely story, Backseat Bradley!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Just open the door; I'll explain everything!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, but before I do, ''{no longer looking annoyed}'' I'm looking for my jumbo/LARGE melt shake! I think I left it in there a week or month ago. ''{cut back to view of Homestar Runner through the car window}'' Either of you guys find it? ''{opens the door}''

''{cut back to view of the Gremlin from outside}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{exits the Gremlin}'' Oh, sweet two feet from where I just was! How I've missed you so!

''{cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Luckily, Officer Cheese-for-butt let us off with just a warning. And ''that'' was our road trip. Or, more accurately our car trip, since we didn't go on any roads. Or, even more accurately, our car, since we didn't go on any trips either. So yeah, Pete from Pete's parents' basement, I go on car with my gang all the time. And that's the end of this email. Until next time everybody, remember to stay j-LARGE.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*Petrifries is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Petrification|petrification]], which is the process by which organic material is converted into stone or a similar substance.
*[[Wikipedia:Forward compatibility|Forward compatible]] products try to cater to future technology, such as new input devices.
*Maxymoron is a play on the word [[Wikipedia:oxymoron|oxymoron]], and although jumbo/LARGE is not actually an oxymoron; it behaves like a [[Wikipedia:pleonasm|pleonasm]], or the opposite of an oxymoron.

===Trivia===
*There appear to be 204 cans of Bull Honkey.
*This email has four [[Portmanteaus|portmanteaus]]; the most featured in any toon on the site.

===Remarks===
*Homestar is able to open the Gremlin's door, even though he has [[Lack of Visible Arms|no visible arms]] and the car door has no visible handles.
*Strong Bad claimed in the email [[car]], that he did not have one. The Gremlin is presumably the car he won from Bubs in the email [[pop-up]].
*Strong Bad fits his entire body under the seat of the Gremlin (except for one knee), even though it would appear that his head is far too big to fit under there.
*When The Cheat slams the CD into the 8-track player, it is not shaded.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Meltshake_roadtrip_goof.png|thumb|And now for my next trick!]]
*The passenger seat's shadow doesn't move while Strong Bad is rummaging under the cushion.
*The Melt Shake doesn't appear in the first few frames of animation as Strong Bad is bringing it out from under the cushion, although his hand is visible. This makes it seem as though it appears out of thin air.

*Homestar Runner looking for people in the night with a flashlight and acting like a cop is a reference to [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]].
