''{Strong Bad is checking his email.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' I'm making this email up! 'Cause I hate everybody! Hate everybody-body! On the Internet! The Internet!

<blockquote class="lappy email">

''{Strong Bad pronounces SB as "sbu" and "IA" as "Internet asker"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Hmmm. Good point, Care-lare, good point. It does seem like a bit of an oversight. ''{stops typing}'' Say, The Cheat!

''{The Cheat rushes in from the left. Strong Bad turns to greet him.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bring up our files on thems of the robotic persuasion.

''{The Cheat produces a file folder.}''

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

''{Cut to the folder. The first page displays a dossier for The Robot from the Original Book.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' First up, we've got the walking metal robot{{--}}

''{Cut to The Robot standing in the field, plugged into a detached wall outlet.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Robot!

''{The Robot raises its arm.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' One very specific size of nut{{--}}

''{Zoom in. A dotted line shows where a nut would fit inside The Robot's wrench hand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' {{--}}doesn't stand a chance against this guy!

''{Cut back to the folder. A page featuring the dossier for the Visor Robot appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And this guy was last seen doing a brief stint as one o' them personal assistants.

''{Cut to Homestar Runner in the kitchen. A Visor Robot-shaped AI assistant sits on the table.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Say, fhqwh-bot, add "amazing thing" to my shopping list.

'''VISOR ROBOT:''' ''{visor flashes: subtitled}'' Okay. I added a lazy bean to your shopping list Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{frustrated}'' That is not what I asked for. ''{pulls up a bundle of Large Bean plushes}'' And I already own all the lazy beans!

'''VISOR ROBOT:''' ''{visor flashes: subtitled}'' Now playing "Hazy Jeans" from Larry Palaroncini's solo album.

''{Song begins to play}''

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' ''{singing}'' Well, I can't see a thing through these hazy jeans...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{frustrated groaning}'' Fhqwh-bot set a timer for a thousand million years!

''{Homestar walks out.}''

'''VISOR ROBOT:''' ''{visor flashes: subtitled}'' Okay. Setting a timer for aAAraRrrRRaarRaA{{--}}

''{The Visor Robot malfunctions and explodes, knocking all the lazy beans off the table and exposing its lightbulb.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' And we can't forget my robotic{{--}} ''{a dossier for the Grape Nuts Robot appears}'' doppelgänger! Who, in an unexpected twist, became the spokesperson for competing cereal companies.

''{Cut to the kitchen. The Grape Nuts Robot is standing next to a box of Cheat Commandos...O's. The Cheat Commandos music plays.}''

'''GRAPE NUTS ROBOT:''' ''{subtitled}'' Now spell. Come back, Flavor. Come back, Nutrition.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And finally, the leader of them all... that technological terror... the pinnacle of mechanical panic!

''{Cut to the file showing a dossier for Humidibot. The picture shows an imposing silhouette with a "?" sign on it. The name is unknown.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know him. You fear him.

''{Cut to the field. Humidibot rolls up.}''

'''HUMIDIBOT:''' ''{spitting water, singing}'' It's a great day for Humidibot! This is not my theme song!

''{Humidibot rolls off.}''

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat peek from behind the buses as Humidibot rolls past.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There he goes, The Cheat. On his way to a secret robot council meeting! Time for you to go...

''{Behind the bushes, Strong Bad and The Cheat have an empty The Cheatbot shell.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' DEEP UNDERCOVER!

''{Strong Bad shoves the The Cheatbot shell on The Cheat.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{scuttling around}'' ''{beeping The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Poifect! Now follow him and learn what their robot world domination plans are so we can copy 'em!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Of course they want to take over the world! Why else would robots be having a secret council meeting?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{stroking his chin}'' Oh. I suppose a firmware upgrade is a possibility. If it is, ''{takes out a 5.25" floppy disk}'' then take this floppy and download it.

''{Strong Bad shoves the floppy into The Cheatbot's eyehole.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{painful The Cheat noises}'' ''{blood drips}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oops. Sorry. The higher the tech, the sharper the corners. That's what Compy Corp. says, anyways.

''{Cut to a commercial for a very pointy computer monitor called the Slicey 86, paired with a keyboard with very spiky keys.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrating}'' Yes, the Compy Slicey 86. ''{schwing noise}'' Our sharpest PC yet!

''{A suture kit appears}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{narrating}'' Suture kit included!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now get moving, Cheatbot!

'''THE CHEATBOT:''' ''{scuttles away}'' ''{beeping The Cheat noises}''

''{A group of robots is assembled in the Field behind a sign reading Council of Grayish ROBOTS. Present are an ATM machine, Humidibot, The Robot, the Grape-Nuts Robot, and the full-sized Visor Robot.}''

'''VISOR ROBOT:''' ''{subtitled}'' I think spicy chili crisp is too played out.

''{The Cheatbot joins the group.}''

'''VISOR ROBOT:''' ''{subtitled}'' I'm switching back to sriracha.

'''GRAPE NUTS ROBOT:''' ''{subtitled}'' I mixed up marsala and masala at my in-laws' house. Soooo embarassing.

'''HUMIDIBOT:''' ''{spitting water}'' On that note, should we start back up our Béchamel versus Hollandaise debate? Cause I'm Humidibot?

''{Cut back to Strong Bad and The Cheat, without The Cheatbot shell.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{frustrated}'' They were just talking about friggin' sauce?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' You sure it wasn't like... mind control sauce? Or melt the human stomach so we can take over the world sauce!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' I refuse to accept that! There's just no way robots would secretly congregate only to discuss various types of sauce! ''{hovering in mid-air}'' You must have missed something. ''{lands on the ground}'' You gotta go back.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What do you mean you don't know any sauces? Just make something up! Find out how sauce equals world domination. Solve for sauce.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Back in the bucket!

''{Strong Bad shoves the bucket shell back on The Cheat.}''

''{Cut to Humidibot discussing sauces.}''

'''HUMIDIBOT:''' ''{spitting water, singing}'' Coodeman's Burrelli sauce.

''{The Cheatbot joins the group.}''

''{Cut to an ad for sauce.}''

'''HUMIDIBOT:''' ''{singing}'' "It's gonna fill up your belly, hoss!"

''{The belly on the chef guy on the ad inflates. A button pops off.}''

''{Cut back to the robot assembly.}''

'''HUMIDIBOT:''' ''{spitting water}'' Remember that?

'''VISOR ROBOT:''' ''{subtitled}'' Classic. Just classic.

'''GRAPE NUTS ROBOT:''' ''{subtitled}'' Hahaha Ha ha ha ha.

'''VISOR ROBOT:''' ''{subtitled}'' Your turn, CashMatic.

''{The ATM's screen displays "Dispensing Cash" as a tone plays. A thought cloud shows the ATM spitting out dollar bills, but no such thing happens outside the thought cloud. With some more tones, the screen changes to read "???".}''

'''HUMIDIBOT:''' ''{spitting water}'' Oops, sorry. You lose.

''{The Robot gives a floppy switching noise and angrily lifts his wrench arm. He shoves it into the screen of the ATM machine and pulls out a hexagonal nut filled with wires. The ATM machine falls over. The Cheatbot looks terrified.}''

'''THE CHEATBOT:''' ''{terrified screaming}''

'''HUMIDIBOT:''' ''{spitting water}'' Oh! Hi, new-timer! We were just playing a round of "Recite your favorite sauce commercial perfectly, or we rip out your insides!" ''{ominously}'' And now it's your turn!

''{The Cheatbot gulps.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{flashback}'' Just make something up! Up! Up!

''{A second Strong Bad head appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{flashback}'' Solve for sauce! Sauce! Sauce!

''{The first Strong Bad head peeks in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why do I have a southern accent now? Now? Now?

''{The Strong Bad heads leave.}''

'''THE CHEATBOT:''' ''{nervous The Cheat noises}''

''{A thought bubble appears showing Coach Z's hand holding a bun with nothing on it. A cloud of dust appears on top of it.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{holding two buns in the locker room}'' Dry bun.

''{The doorbell rings.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh! Who's doing that?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sawman's doin' 'at!

''{Homestar produces a jar of sauce and pours it onto Coach Z's dry hamburger bun.}''

''{Cut to the King of Town eating something purple on top of a bowl of Ice Style Cream.}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' This Salisbury sundae tastes more like a Monday.

''{The doorbell rings}''

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Oh! Who is doing that?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sawman's doin' 'at!

''{Homestar produces a jar of sauce and splatters it onto the King of Town's sundae.}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad brushing his teeth with No Flav-O toothpaste.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'm all out of unflavored dentifrice!

''{The doorbell rings}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh! Who keeps doing that?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's Sawman's doin' 'at!

''{Homestar produces a jar of sauce and splatters it all over Strong Sad's toothbrush.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' The condiment for whatever you're doin'!

''{Ad for sauce.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' Who, you ask is doin' 'at? It's Sawman's doin' 'at! Sauce!

''{Cut back to a nervous The Cheatbot.}''

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

''{Drumroll. The Visor Robot, the Grape Nuts Robot, and The Robot all stare.}''

'''HUMIDIBOT:''' ''{spitting water}'' We love Sawman's Doin' 'at!

'''THE ROBOT:''' ''{subtitled}'' YAAAAAAAAY!

'''VISOR ROBOT:''' ''{subtitled}'' Hooray!

'''HUMIDIBOT:''' That means you're our new robot council leader!

'''THE CHEATBOT:''' ''{curious The Cheat noises}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad at his computer, inside a The Cheatbot shell.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing, voice echoes}'' And that Car Lar... car alarm, is how The Cheat became our supreme robotic overlord. ''{angrily}'' Thanks for freakin' asking!

''{Strong Bad is compressed in a The Cheatbot shell. He jumps off his stool and strains as he shuffles across the floor.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in pain}'' Ooh... my neck-breaky... legbendum... spinefold.

''{The Cheatbot sits on a throne made from cans of Sawman's Doin' 'At sauce surrounded by the Council of Grayish Robots. Strong Bad shuffles up in his robot shell.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{beeping noises}''

''{Homestar also shuffles past compressed in a robot shell.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{beeping noises}''

''{Coach Z is also shuffling around in a robot shell.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{Coach Z-accented beeping noises}''

''{Strong Mad jumps in on one foot in a tiny robot shell.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' BEEP! BOOP!

''{Cut to Humidibot rolling along dramatically. "Humidibot" appears in fancy bloody letters as death metal music plays.}''

'''TARANCHULA:''' ''{singing}'' Dark is the day of Humidibot! This is his actual theme song!

''{Humidibot rolls off.}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad's computer. The CGI paper comes down. It reads >CGEEOW<}''

'''NARRATOR STRONG BAD:''' C-G-eeow!

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*Sriracha is a sauce made with chili peppers.
*Marsala is a type of wine produced in [[Italy]] commonly used for cooking.
*Masala is an [[Indian Food|Indian]] spice mix used in dishes such as chicken tikka masala.
*Hollandaise is a sauce made by blending butter and egg yolks.
*Béchamel sauce is a [[French]] sauce made by whisking warm milk, butter, and flour.

===Trivia===
*The Robot is manufactured by Zobot Inc. His powers include 2 red dials and is able to lift (press) over 50 grapes.
*The Visor Robot's manufacturer is listed as "[[Made-Up Real Things|me]]?" His powers include "VOIP" (not the phone kind) and "human brain?".
*The Strong Bad Robot is manufactured by [[Bubs]]Tech. His powers include doing-sproings and spelling quiz.
*Humidibot's name is listed as "????" His manufacturer is HumidiTek. His powers are that he can identify himself 10 times a day.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad says in the email song that he made this email up. This would go against his standard practice of answering actual emails or tweets that fans had sent him.
*The silhouette on Humidibot's dossier is much more mysterious and ominous than Humidibot himself is, much like the running gag of Strong Bad's costume being more detailed than the others during the [[Halloween Teasers]].
*The Cheat's and Strong Bad's robot shells have mouths drawn on, while Homestar's, Coach Z's, and Strong Mad's robot shells do not.
*A thousand million years is more typically expressed as a billion years.

===Inside References===
*"The walking metal robot, [[The Robot]]" was how [[The Announcer]] introduced the character in [[Strongest Man in the World]].
*The [[Visor Robot]] was seen doing commercials for [[Senor Cardgage Mortgage]] in [[Senor Mortgage]].
*One of the Visor Robot's abilities is having a human brain, something Strong Sad made up in a story featured in [[Homestarloween Party]].
**Homestar calls the Visor Robot "fhqwh-bot" because of his appearance in [[Everybody to the Limit]], where he said, "Come On, [[Fhqwhgads]]."
**As another reference to the story in [[Homestarloween Party]], the King of Town refers to his [[ice cream]] as a Salisbury sundae.
*Homestar Runner's [[Grocery Lists|shopping list]] was full of the term "amazing thing" in [[love poems]].
*Lazy bean dolls are based on [[Large Bean]]. Plushes were sold at the gift shop at Strong Bad's haunted house/science museum in [[The House That Gave Sucky Tricks]].
*[[Larry Palaroncini]] is the lead singer of [[Limozeen]].
*"Doing-sproings" was a word used to describe a fan's burninated [[peasant]] costume in [[Fan 'Stumes 2020]].
*The Grape-Nuts Robot repeats lines he recited in [[personal favorites]], based on Strong Bad's lines in [[sisters]]: "Come back, [[Ali and Ali's Sister|Ali]]. Come back, Ali's sister."
*The Cheatbot was originally seen in [[technology]].
*The ATM from [[Experimental Film]] appears in full color.
*No Flav-o Toothpaste consists of a [[Words ending in -o|word ending in "-o"]].

*The aged Homestar Runner uses the design from the [[Homestar Anniversary Merch]] commercial.

===Real-World References===
*The Visor Robot's VOIP is specified as "not the phone kind". {{w|Voice over IP|VoIP}} is an abbreviation of "Voice Over Internet Protocol," which handles phone calls made over an internet connection.
*The Visor Robot's sad personalized greeting period is a reference to the app {{w|Cameo (website)|Cameo}} where users can commission custom video greetings from celebrities.
*Old Homestar's line in the Easter egg is quote from the independent short film ''{{w|Coven (1997 film)|Coven}}''. The documentary ''{{w|American Movie}}'' showcased the troubled production of the low-budget film, including a memorable scene when the writer-director's aged uncle repeatedly struggles to recall and deliver his line "It's all right, it's okay! There's something to live for! Jesus told me so!"
**''American Movie'' was previously referenced in a [[Sketchbook]] illustration from [[Sketchbook 2005#SK-2005-06-30|June 30, 2005]], which featured [[Strong Sad]] as {{w|Mike Schank}} (another prominent figure in the documentary).

==About Me==
Yes, you've stumbled upon my userpage. :) I have been a member of the Homestar Runner Wiki since October 17th, 2006 (although I had forgotten about my old account and made a new one in March 2007), and I hope to make many contributions to make HRWiki better and more informative for everyone.
 Ahem, *cough*. What is this, an election for class President? "If I'm elected President, I will give you more snack machines that won't steal your money! I will stop the locker jams!" *cheers*

Anyways, I am currently 19 years old and am living in New York. I love to go on the internet (and one of my favorite sites is Homestar Runner).
 Some other things I like to do include reading, writing, drawing, singing, and playing piano and guitar. I love to be involved in anything and everything.

==My Homestar Runner "Fond Memories"==
This section refers more to my favorites and/or information on when I first found out about Homestar Runner than "fond memories", but I felt the name was cool anyways.
 The first time I ever heard of Homestar Runner was, as I said, on October 17th, 2006. I was browsing Wikipedia and found information about Game Boys, and was reading up on the oh-so-interesting history of the Nintendo Game Boy when I found that one of the games it linked to had a reference to Homestar Runner and therefore, a link to the Wikipedia article. I read up on the article and found it sounded really awesome and checked out the site. Lo and behold, Homestar Runner.
 Great story, I know. 'Cause you ALL wanted to know.

==My Homestar Runner Wiki Contributions==
 On March 15, 2007 I made my first edit on something that wasn't my own userpage: the [[your funeral]] talk page!
 On some other day, I did some other stuff!
 Yeah, I don't really feel like listing a ton of stuff I did. xD If I do something major, like a transcript, I'll put it here. I mostly do Gnome work, and maybe add a Fun Fact or two. If you're really that interested in what I do, check out my contributions page.

==Miscellaneous==
Ways of contacting me and just seeing other stuff. About me. 'Cause I know you all love me. xD
I'm usually on the IRC anyways, as SammiSeldowitz, but if I'm not here's my other info.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, if I had a nickel for every email I get, I would throw them at people in the food court. From that railing, like up above.

''{Starts reading with "Da da da—"}''

<blockquote class="email">Dear Strong Bad, 
Dude, who cuts your hair? It's 
sooo coull. I can't decide what to 
do with mine, any suggestions? 
 
Harry Earlenmacherg

''{Strong Bad pronounces "coull" just like it is spelled, and in place of "Earlenmacherg," he says "ergonomics."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I got no hair, Düsseldörke, so I'm gonna have to reach on this one. Now who's got hair around here?

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Marzipan by the gazebo. Strong Bad is holding scissors.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{angrily}'' You gotta be kidding me.

''{Cut to Strong Bad and The Poopsmith in the field. The Poopsmith points to one of his hairs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh... Never mind.

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Marzipan by the gazebo again.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' I'm growing it out for charity.

''{Cut to Strong Bad and The King of Town by the castle.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Nobody touches the 'stache!

''{Cut to close up of Homestar. He's got an angry look on his face.}''

'''HOMESTAR:''' N O spells no!

''{Fade back to show that Homestar is off by himself, talking to no one, while Strong Bad and the King of Town are in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I didn't even ask you, baldy!

''{Homestar looks shocked. Cut to Strong Bad and Marzipan by the gazebo again.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' This is a weave.

''{Cut back to Strong bad at the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, ''{typing}'' Sorry Ger-man. Looks like I can't practice my barber wizardry, or barbzerdry as I call it, on anybody around here. So, I guess you're on your own. I ghe—

''{Widen to show Strong Mad standing next to Strong Bad. Strong Mad is holding a cardboard box.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' MAKE IT DANCE! MAKE IT PRANCE!!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, I'll make that cardboard box dance and prance later, big guy. I'm in the middle of...

''{Zoom in on Strong Mad's eye brows.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah ha! Pay dirt!

''{A camera flash goes off and the screen goes white. Fade back to Strong Bad at the Compy. An instant camera type photo of Strong Mad is taped to Compy. It develops as Strong Bad talks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, now that I have Strong Mad's image...um...scanned in to the computer, I'll use my cutting art, state of the edge technology to simulate different hairstyles. On his eyebrows. I'll just get out my "LIGHT PEN" here.

''{Strong Bad's hand comes up. He has a marker and starts to draw on the picture.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' First, for the Strong Mad who's out on the prowl, no woman can resist the distinguished grace of what I like to call: The "Gentleman Caller."

''{Strong Bad draws gentleman-like eyebrows. "Gentleman Caller" flashes on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or...

''{Strong Bad wipes picture clean. We zoom in a bit on the picture.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Experience the lightning brows of "Jagged Metal."

''{Strong Bad draws lightning-type eyebrows. "Jagged Metal" flashes on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, and he's definitely going to need a guitar.

''{Draws a guitar. It ends up in the middle of Strong Mad's face.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' I DON'T WANT TO EAT A GUITAR!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're not eating it... You're shredding some hot licks...with your teeth.

''{Strong Bad makes a guitar noise as he draws a whammy bar on the guitar. He then wipes the picture clean.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or experience the urban flavor of: "Hammer Pants."

''{He draws some funky eyebrows with a fade and adds a comic balloon pointing to Strong Mad's mouth that says "proper!" He then wipes the picture clean.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And for the Strong Mad who's not so concerned with attracting ladies: "Big Ol' Eyebrows."

''{He draws some big ol' eyebrows.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I should probably go ahead and give him a couple missing teeth...

''{He blackens Strong Mad's upper-right central incisor and upper-left cuspid.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Acne...

''{He draws spots on Strong Mad's face.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' One of them butt chins.

''{He draws a cleft.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There we go. One hundred and ten percent lady-proof.

''{He wipes the picture clean. He then draws a dog and a cat for eyebrows.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' "A Dog and Also a Cat Shaped Eyebrows."

''{"A Dog and Also a Cat Shaped Eyebrows" flashes on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And a couple of muskrat.

''{He adds two muskrats. He then wipes the picture clean.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And don't forget: the "Ready for Primetime."

''{Draws a weird-looking character over Strong Mad's face. "Ready for Primetime" flashes on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Which I admit I got a little carried away with.

'''STRONG MAD:''' SWEETIE CAKES! SWEETIE CAKES!!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sweetie cakes? What are you ta— O-oh, yeah I guess it does look a little bit like one of them "Sweet Cuppin' Cakes" guys.

''{He draws an "[[Eh! Steve]]"-esque character.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Eh! Greg.

''{He wipes the picture clean.}''

''{Strong Bad takes the picture down and starts typing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So that gives you a lot to choose from, Deutschman. I think you could easily apply all my eyebrow style to your ''{pauses}'' headbrow style. So good luck witchasself. I have to go use my "LIGHT PEN" on napping Strong Sad. Prreeow.

''{Strong Bad gets up and [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Fun Facts ==

=== Trivia ===
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#tengen classix|tengen classix]]".

===Remarks===
*"Barbzerdry" is a [[Portmanteaus|portmanteau]].
*The cardboard box has "GLUTEMATES (BOX OF 6)" very faintly printed on it.
*Strong Bad's [[Fine Tip Permanent Marker|"permanent" marker]] apparently isn't permanent at all, although permanent markers frequently rub off smooth surfaces, such as the Polaroid picture of Strong Mad.
**A few times, he does not wipe all of the Polaroid, yet all the marker is erased.
*Strong Bad can umlaut his "O"s unusually quickly. Normally, one needs to change the language on your keyboard, use the Alt+0246 key combination in Windows, or, on Mac OS, press option+u then o. (ö).
**Also, he mispronounces his umlauted "U"s and "O"s.
*The "Gentleman Caller" bears a striking resemblance to [[Old Timey Strong Bad]]'s moustache and hair.
*The font for the Deutschman comic book logo is the same as the one used for the words that flash on-screen when Homestar says Neva-Die in the e-mail [[car]].
*There are no words in the English language that begin with "ghe" that fit the context of what Strong Bad is typing when he is interrupted.
*Strong Bad says he has no hair, yet in the following email [[theme park]] we see he at least has the ability to grow a (very thin) mustache.
*When Strong Bad draws the guitar in front of Strong Mad's picture, he twice comments that it is an electric guitar, but since it has four strings, it is more likely a bass guitar.

===Goofs===
*In the Easter Egg containing Strong Bad singing the box song his arms are much longer than normal.


===Inside References===
*The Deutschman comic book is published by [[Cheap as Free]]. The comic is a reference to [[superhero name]]. [[The Cheat]] appears on it in a cape and mask—another reference to "superhero name."
*"[[Preeeeow]]" was first used to describe the noise that The Paper makes in [[autobiography]].

===Real-World References===
*In the "napping Strong Sad" Easter egg, when Strong Sad mentions "that Carpenter [[Wikipedia:The Smurfs|Smurf]]," he is probably referring to [[Wikipedia:Characters in the Smurfs#Handy|Handy Smurf]] but forgetting his name.
*[[Wikipedia:Julian Sands|Julian Sands]] is a British horror film actor.
*When Strong Bad draws the guitar on "jagged metal" Strong Bad says that Strong Mad is playing the guitar with his teeth, he is referencing [[Wikipedia:Jimi Hendrix|Jimi Hendrix]], who gained notoriety playing "[[Wikipedia:Wild Thing|Wild Thing]]" with his teeth at the [[Wikipedia:Woodstock Festival|Woodstock Music Festival]] in 1969.
*"Ready for Primetime" may refer to "The Not Ready For Primetime Players," the name of the original cast of [[Wikipedia:Saturday Night Live|Saturday Night Live]].
*When you zoom in on the comic book Easter egg where there is a picture of The Cheat, the price reads "$1.25". Below that, it reads in a smaller font "$8.00 CAN." This is probably a reference to the difference in value between U.S. and Canadian dollars (though it isn't nor has it ever been that big.) This comic book is modeled after Marvel Comics of the mid-to-late '90s.
**On the comic book, "Sufferin' Schnitzels It's...Deutschman!!" is a reference to Robin from [[Batman]]. He often used cheesy phrases fraught with alliteration.
*Hammer Pants is a nickname given to the [[Wikipedia:Parachute Pants|parachute pants]] worn by rapper [[Wikipedia:MC Hammer|MC Hammer]] in the early '90s.
*Hammer Pants's eyebrow style was frequently seen on early '90s hip-hop stars, most notably [[Wikipedia:Vanilla Ice|Vanilla Ice]].
*The barbzerdry parchment references a grade-school rhyme about cutting in line: "No cuts, no butts, no coconuts."
*"Deutsch" (pronounced "doich") is German for "German" (the nationality or the language). A male German is called a "Deutscher".
*The LIGHT PEN mentioned by Strong Bad was an accessory for a vector-graphics video game system known as the [[Wikipedia:Vectrex|Vectrex]].
*When Marzipan talks about growing her hair out for charity, she is referring to organizations such as Locks of Love, which lets people grow their hair long and then donate it after it is cut, so that it can be made into wigs for ill people who have lost their hair.

===Fast Forward===
*The "[[Sweet Cuppin' Cakes|Sweetie Cakes]]" character Strong Bad inadvertently creates in this email, Ready For Primetime, appears later in [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]].
*The scissors that Strong Bad uses are one and the same with the "snipp-snipperrooskies" Marzipan uses in [[lady fan]].

*The music during Strong Bad's hair-search scene ends early.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

===Commentary Transcript===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Ryan Sterritt]], [[Jonathan Howe]])

'''RYAN:''' This is Matt Chapman here.

'''MATT:''' This is Ryan.

'''JON:''' And I don't have anyone else to pretend to be, so I'm Jon.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Uh no, look, this is Matt.

'''RYAN:''' This is Ryan, Jonny.

'''MATT:''' What do you guys think of this? Do you really think this is from a dude in Germany? It sounds like from a German, actually, even.

'''RYAN:''' Wasn't ''Düsseldorf'' John Denver's real last name?

'''MATT:''' Really? I don't know.

'''RYAN:''' John ''Düsseldorf''.

'''MATT:''' Nice.

'''RYAN:''' Switched it to Denver—

''{Matt laughs}''

'''RYAN:''' for his folky songs.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, exactly. Figured that sounded...

'''RYAN:''' more American.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, definitely.

'''RYAN:''' I like the blurry backgrounds.

'''MATT:''' You do that? You like that? The rack focus, sorta?

'''RYAN:''' I do.

'''MATT:''' well I guess we're not rack focusing, but—

'''RYAN:''' You ''do'' do that sometimes.

'''MATT:''' Sometimes we do that. We do have—

'''JON:''' Does Homestar have hair?

'''MATT:''' ha—hair?

'''JON:''' Hair.

'''MATT:''' No, see, he called him "baldy". That's sort of a joke.

'''RYAN:''' Marzipan has some blonde hair.

'''MATT:''' She does. She's mostly bald on top. She has a very receded hair line.

'''RYAN:''' I wanna— I wanna Easter egg right there on the word "wizardry" which shows that screenshot from—

'''JON:''' we got it. Check the alternate angle.

'''MATT:''' There's barbzerdry

'''RYAN:''' ''{laughing}'' Barbzerdry.

'''JON:''' That's a card.

'''MATT:''' That shows his, uh, card.

'''JON:''' I'm just, totally...wait, no. I mean like the game "Wizardry". Remember the game?

'''MATT:''' Oh, oh. Gotcha, sorry.

'''RYAN:''' I like your Polaroid...fading in. That's a good—

'''MATT:''' Thanks. It looks pretty good. I think Mike did that. I think this might have been one that Mike— I was out of town again and Mike ended up finishing. But, hey, I record ''all'' the voices, you guys.

'''RYAN:''' Not lately, man. I mean, [[Shark-Tooth Bubs]] is a central figure on the site now.

'''MATT:''' Not really. He still hasn't appeared on the site, actually.

'''RYAN:''' Yeah, he's very important. ''{laughs}'' Um, I like how you guys rub off sharpie from the Polaroid—

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it works. You've never done that? It works like dry-erase.

''{All three laugh in turn}''

'''JON:''' Polaroids are actually a great dry-erase surface. I don't know if you know that.

'''MATT:''' If you're using a dry-erase marker it probably would work, but not the sharpie.

'''JON:''' Not the permanent... See, we're just setting up the—later on, he's gonna have a tough time rubbing off paint pen.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that's sorta—

'''RYAN:''' That's great ''{laughs}''

'''JON:''' —was a good—

'''RYAN:''' Favorite hair style thus far?

'''JON:''' Yeah, you're starting to lose me on, yeah, the chin.

'''MATT:''' What? You don't like this one?

'''JON:''' I was, "you had me at", you had me at—

'''RYAN:''' You had me at chin strap. This is one of my favorites, though.

''{Matt and Jon laugh}''

'''RYAN:''' I think it's pretty hilarious. That, that got me the first time.

'''MATT:''' Really?

'''RYAN:''' It did.

'''MATT:''' You made it laugh.

'''JON:''' It takes a lot to make Ryan laugh.

'''MATT:''' A chuckle laugh?

'''RYAN:''' I am not a laugher. Is that "Ready—"? That's the name of—

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I mean, we've never— It's never been referred to, but I would imagine—

'''RYAN:''' His name is "Ready For Primetime?"

'''MATT:''' —that Sweet Cuppin' Cakes Universe's name is "Ready For Primetime".

'''RYAN:''' You made the poster, see.

'''MATT:''' ''{character voice}'' Ready For Primetime, you and Eh! Steve are in cahoots!

'''MATT:''' ''{returns to normal voice}'' That sort of thing?

'''RYAN:''' It's good, it's good.

'''MATT:''' Thanks.

'''RYAN:''' ''{laughing}'' Did you spell "Deutsch" right?

'''MATT:''' I think so. I think that's "Deutsch", correct? And with "man" added in.

'''RYAN:''' Deutschmarks.

'''MATT:''' Sounds like a pretzel. Sounds like a type of pretzel. That's all.

'''RYAN:''' Wait. There's one.

===Fun Facts===
*[[Wikipedia:John Denver|John Denver]]'s real name was Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr., not ''Düsseldorf''.
*Strong Bad did have a hard time rubbing paint pen off the lappy in the email [[long pants]], when he tried to edit an email that was "too long".
