Talk:Bubs' Concession Stand

DarkAlex: /**/Fun Fact?

{{featuredarticle}}

It was suggested on [[Talk:Bubs|Bubs discussion]] that all the items he's sold be listed. Sounded good to me, but figured it should belong on this page. I threw this together for comments (not complete). What's the best way to list this (or how much space do we want to use up with this list)? Similar to how I have it here, or each item individually? Is the title of the toon(s)-of-origin enough? --[[User:BaconSandwich|BaconSandwich]] 10:45, 8 Feb 2005 (MST)

'''Known Items Sold:'''
*hot dogs, chili dogs, slaw dogs, ketchup dogs, mustard dogs, drinks, drinks, drinks, candy and sno-cones (Stated by Bubs in his [[Bubs|Character Video Transcript]])
*Chinese Fish, Buffalo Rice, Smoothies (Banner in [[lunch special]])
*Face Mashings, severe pummelings (counter signs in [[pom pom]])
*Popcorn (Popcorn machine in background in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]], [[Where's The Cheat?]])
*Candy Bars, Sno-Cones, Hot Dogs, Popcorns, Gum, Nachos, No Cheats (Inventory list in [[Where's The Cheat?]])
*Swiss Cake Rolls ([[invisibility]])
*Toilet Paper, Eggs, Corn Dogs ([[3 Times Halloween Funjob]])
*All Types of Crazy Crap, 'Tag Team Wrestling' Nintendo Game, Golden Oven Mitts (Ebroidered 'SB'), Strong Sad Voodoo Doll, Frampton Comes Alive! Album (autographed), 'Deep Impact' DVD ([[The Best Decemberween Ever]])
*(fantasy) flame throwers that shoot chocolate hundred dollar bills (imitation chocolate) ([[different town]])
*Hollerin' Jimmy's Hobby Kits ([[lackey]])
*Hot Wings, Egg Rolls, Cod Plank Platter ([[lunch special]])
*Wait in Line (Counter sign in [[local news]])
*'D' ([[personal favorites]])

::Whoa, that's cool. I added it to the page.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 11:19, 8 Feb 2005 (MST)

:::Thanks, I added as much more as I could readily think of and find, and cleaned up a little. I seem to recall some other times when characters may have referred to items they got from Bubs (like in the [[KoT E-mail]]), but can't remember specifically. Still like to see a better way to list this, but any other way would probably take up too much space. BTW: while looking for this stuff I seem to have discovered that the popcorn machine coincides with the sign reading "Concessions by Bubs", as seen in [[A Jumping Jack Contest]],[[The Best Decemberween Ever]],[[Where's The Cheat?]] (the only toons I've noticed). Not sure if this is interesting enough to note anywhere... --[[User:BaconSandwich|BaconSandwich]] 00:13, 10 Feb 2005 (MST)

==All that crazy crap ==

I noticed something interesting. I don't know if it should be a fun fact or not, but it certainly is something I would never have noticed before.

I think all the "crazy crap" from [[The Best Decemberween Ever]] previously belonged to Strong Bad. After all, it all has some sort of connection to Strong Bad:

*He's actually in "Tag Team Wrestling".
*The oven mitts have his initials on them.
*Who else would use a Strong Sad voodoo doll?
*We know Strong Bad is a fan of Peter Frampton, since he has one of his songs playing in [[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]].
*It's possible that the Deep Impact DVD that Homestar keeps giving Strong Bad is actually the same one every time; Strong Bad might just return it to Bubs' every year. --[[User:ComputerBox|ComputerBox]] 01:52, 4 Mar 2005 (MST)

== Company Table and other info ==

After I added the table containing company info, the I noticed the article text was moved down the page. Is it possible to have the article text stay on the left, and the box sta on the right, without anything bein moved down? --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 14:14, 15 Mar 2005 (MST)

== Slogan? ==
Is "we got all types of crazy crap" really an official slogan? I've only heard him use it once. --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 12:09, 27 Mar 2005 (MST)

:Good point. I know the Bubs t-shirt I have says "We're always awesome!" in the logo-thingy.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 23:45, 27 Mar 2005 (MST)

:It could also be "Come on by! We're always awesome". --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 02:48, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)

== Flamethrower? ==
One of the items listed was the flamethrower from different town. But I'm not sure if that really counts because it was Strong Bad's imagination. Thoughts? -Alice 3:23, 3 May 2005

I think it shouldn't count. Even if it says it's just fantasy (which it does). [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 19:29, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

So...what we gonna do about it? It has to be on the page SOMEWHERE as like, a fun fact or something. I
just don't think it belongs in the list. -Alice 8:04, 4 May 2005
:Then again, the six tubes of rear-end cream in [[highschool]] shouldn't count either, considering Strong Bad's "doodle memory". {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 00:22, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

== Real title ==

Shouldn't it be called '''Bubs' Conces5ion Stand'''?

No, that's just what the sign says of Bubs' Concession Stand. When it said "Concessions by Bubs" that wasn't the stand's name. At least, that's what I think. -- '''''[[User:Joshua|Joshua]]'''''

== Duck A L'orange?? ==

Should this be on the list?

In "Lunch Special" this was an item requested by the cheat, any confirmation on whether this is actually a purchasable item? -- '''''[[User:Mix Ma$ta'|Mix Ma$ta' - 8 May 2005]]'''''

Why the hell does it say "Free Country" instead of "Free Country, USA"? --[[User:Darklinkskywalker|Darklinkskywalker]] 20:19, 5 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== Grammatical Accuracy ==

Technically, the name of the place should be "Bubs's Concession Stand" instead of "Bubs' Concession Stand", unless the stand was originally founded by several people named Bub. I am surprised that grammar-nazi Strong Bad has not noticed this fact already.

Er..no, it's correct.
#We add an apostrophe without an "s" after plural nouns ending in "s". The same thing happens if it's a proper noun that ends in an "s"
#Everytime we see Bubs' stand, the sign is almost always spelt as "Bubs' Concession Stand", so that is the correct way of spelling it grammatically.
#I don't think you are allowed to say grammar-nazi here. It can be offensive and controversial.

{{User:The Chort/sig}} 17:07, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/grammar/g_apost.html - Purdue University and James's hat disagree.
:The Purdue page doesn't fully explore the topic of s-apostrophe. According to [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1592400876 Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation], by Lynne Truss, there are a small number of proper nouns ending in s whose correct possessives are s-apostrophe. I don't have the book in front of me, but I believe they are all biblical names, notably Jesus and Moses. All other singular nouns ending in s, proper or not, form their possessives as "-s's", like James's hat. So technically Bubs is in the wrong, but she does point out that you can't really argue with what a business has adopted as its official usage, especially if they're claiming it as a trademark. (Which it's safe to say Bubs would if you asked him.) Now watch me read the book again and discover that there's a difference between British (which Ms. Truss is) and American usage... --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 05:19, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, but nevertheless, whether it is right or wrong, we must spell it exactly the same way The Brothers Chaps spell it. If it was wrong, it would have already been fixed ages ago. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 19:26, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

== Notable Events needs reworking. ==

Notable events needs some serious organization. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 00:22, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

== S, 5, bingo! ==

I'm not sure how, or whether, to work this into the article. The five in CONCES5ION implies that Bubs ran out of S before finishing the sign, right? So how did he spell STAND? Or maybe I'm stubbornly overlooking the possibility that Bubs was just careless when fishing letters out of some beaten-up shoebox in the basement. Opinions? Noteworthy? --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 04:59, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

:Hmmm... There's no saying he didn't have the layout planned, and wrote "Stand" first. I wouldn't worry about it. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 05:01, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

== Stan ==

The "featured event" saying that a guy named Stan used to work at Bubs's, doesn't link to a source for this information. Where does this fact come from? {{unsigned|193.217.163.116|}}
:It was in [[Cool Things]]... I've added it to the article. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:22, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

== Cheats ==

I'm not sure The Cheats should be added as things "not sold." In the cartoon [[Where's The Cheat]], Bubs says "we're fresh outta cheats" and not "we don't sell any cheats." -[[User:WarthogDemon|WarthogDemon]] 02:46, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
*I agree. "Cheats" was on his inventory list, Bubs just happened to be "fresh out." (Um, I think I added "cheats" in the Known Items Sold section. Should I take it out until this is resolved)? ... 4kai2lyn6
:I'm going to go ahead and delete that "Items not sold" section... [[User:4kai2lyn6|kai lyn]] 22:32, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
::(And just in case anyone checks the history for this page, sorry about deleting more than I meant to...I'm such a jerk!...Thanks DorianGray for fixin' that!) [[User:4kai2lyn6|kai lyn]] 14:47, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
:::Hey, guys, can "cheats" be game cheat walkthroughs? I mean, They're weird! -{{User:Viklas/sig}} 17:31, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

== Mysterious food ==

What about things that are POSSIBLY sold?

buffalo chicken tenders (7.50/some)

These are quite a mystery - we don't see Strong Bad directly buy them or query Bubs about them, but since the stand is most of the economy, it may be the only place to buy them!

--[[User:Algoblin|Algoblin]] 17:52, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

==Bubs' Concession Stand on Arena==
I was wondering if anybody thought it would be worth mentioning that Bubs' Concession Stand was built on top of the arena. [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Marshmallow%27s_Last_Stand] (at the Commentary Transcript on DVD version section). I get it's probably just a joke, but I think someone could at least put, "It's apparently built on the old arena." I didn't want to just add it since Bubs' Concession Stand is a major thing..
Dangeresque, too?

==Redirect==

I was trying to undo that. [[User:StarFox|StarFox]] 05:04, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

== Fun Fact? ==

I don' think that the current lone fun fact should be there. It mentions something that was previously stated on the page, and said fact was only in Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective. Do we have ''any'' proof that the concession stand was a prision apart from Strong Bad's movie? --[[User:DarkAlex|DarkAlex]] 03:57, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

DarkAlex: /**/No Manuél this time?

Um... how do we know that this is the game? --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 02:31, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
: It was on WiiWorld for a while (they correctly predicted the name of episode 4). There's some evidence of this on Telltale's forum, too. However, Telltale's staff demanded that WiiWorld take the info down until they're ready to show it (presumably, they'll be ready to show it on Monday.) AFAIK, no requests have been made to remove the info from the Wiki, but we should comply if they do ask us. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:34, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

== Voice for Trogdor? ==

WHOA! Who thought that Trogdor would be in Free Country USA?! Since we already know what Stinkoman's voice sounds like, how do you think Trogdor would sound?

(-[[Special:Contributions/70.244.251.1|70.244.251.1]] 03:05, 14 November 2008 (UTC) [Everybody!; you know the drill with me forgetting to log in XD]
:A. Suitable for [http://forum.hrwiki.org/ the Forum] 
:B. We've seen him there [[Trogday 08|before]] 
:C. And either the "Microsoft Sam" voice heard in [[TROGDOR!|the game]] or roaring. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 03:10, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

:::1) The speculation-n'-rumors should be made a forum discussion.
:::2) It's actually [[Wikipedia:Software Automatic Mouth|Software Automatic Mouth]], and it was onlyavailable for the Apple II and Lisa, Commodore 64, and various Atari's that had a POKEY chip. Oh yeah, and
:::3) Can anyone tell us what Trogdor's laugh sounds like in the trailer? Please and thanks. --[[Special:Contributions/64.149.213.65|64.149.213.65]] 02:20, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

==A Screenshot==

I found a screenshot on the official site that I cropped into an image of 3D Stinkoman that I uploaded a few minutes ago. The funny and slightly disturbing thing is, the screenshot (not my cropped version) revealed that Stinkoman is standing on a platform from [[Stinkoman 20X6]]. I know that the description says that video games are leaking into Free Country, so, should we put down [[Planet K]] as a place? {{User:Strongkinghomsarsmith/sig}} 21:46, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes. Yes, we should! And Strong Badia, House Of The Brothers Strong, The Field, The Basement, and everything in the new screenshots.

Have you guys seen that awesome, rather diginal screenshot on [http://www.telltalegemes.com/strongbad/8bitisenough TellTale Games]? You know, the one with [[Strong Bad]] in that wierd, yet cool, place with all the [[Vidlletricks]] games. That is cool. [[User:Absorr...too|-Absorr|Homestar Runner Wiki is a must]] 01:38, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

== Braid ==

An email refers to a recent game where you can't die, you just get stuck. Sounds like a reference to Braid, if you ask me. Anybody else have RECENT game possibilities?
:The first game that sprung to '''my''' mind was an obscure one named [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]]. Maybe you've heard of it. It's pretty recent too. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 10:07, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
::Exactly. It's all part of the hypocrisy, like at the beginning of the game when Strong Bad tells The Cheat that "licensed games are never good." He's ''in'' a licensed game, ''and'' kicked off the plot of the third episode of said licensed game by trying to ''fix'' a licensed game. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 11:42, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

== Secret Shirt ==

Is the secret shirt supposed to make SB's torso invisible or is that a glitch?
:It's deliberate. =) --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 10:56, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

==Wrecking Crew?==

The use of Mista Fixit as a Videlectrix game somehow made me think that there could have been similar stylistic similarities with the Mario spin-off ''Wrecking Crew'' (one of those few videogames that I couldn't really stand much). Although, when Mista Fixit wants to build stuff, WC is more about destroying stuff with the same tools.

It's a long shot to think of a reference like this, but it's still ''something'' at any rate. I'll still be fine if it doesn't get accepted as one. >.> [[User:Rexy|Rexy-mberween]] ([[User_talk:Rexy|save the rabbits!]]) 15:55, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

== Imflammable as a goof? ==

Right now, Gel-arshie mentioning he's inflammable is listed as a goof. It's difficult to say it's an actual goof on part of the creators, due to the fact it's not rare for a character to say something incorrect that the Brothers Chap know isn't true. Personally, I think this is one such case, but clearly someone disagrees. So, thoughts?
:Aye, I was gonna comment on that myself. Unfortunately, without word from them, I don't think it's possible to tell whether it's a mistake by TBC or simply a mistake by Gel-Arshie. --[[User:Belthazar|Belthazar]] 22:02, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
::I haven't played the game yet but it doesn't sound like something they'd mess up. It seems intentional to me (as in ironic humor). -[[Special:Contributions/132.183.138.37|132.183.138.37]] 22:09, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

== No Manuél this time? ==

Should it be noted that you don't have to collect a manual in this episode? --[[User:DarkAlex|DarkAlex]] 01:59, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

<div>subject: prom</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
I was wondering did you ever have a senior prom. 
If so, what was it like? 
Matt M. WA
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "walrus association" for WA.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, man! Would you Walrus Association people please leave me alone? I will pay my dues when you send me my tusks! ''{clears screen}'' Anyways, I have personally never had a senior prom, Matt. I have, however, ''crashed'' my fair share of Senior Proms, Senor Proms, Homecoming Dances, Shortcoming Prances, and Off-Site Team-Building Pottery Classes. But the best Senior Prom I ever crashed was the 'Entrapment All Up On the Moon' Dance. It all started one day, when I received some very disappointing news...

''{Cuts to the Floppy Disk Container side of the computer desk with Strong Mad and The Cheat. A cassette tape sits on top of a [[clock radio]]. The message 'an answering machine (trust me)' is taped to the clock radio, keeping the hour number open as if it was the message counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' Oh man you guys... I'm totally bummed. Listen to this message I just got...

''{Cut to a closeup of the clock radio. Strong Bad is partially visible on the left, holding one of his boxing gloves up to his mouth and looking away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{in a high-pitched voice}'' Hey... Bunmuffin... It's Deli...lelia. They need me to go back up to Mars to help out that robot that got stuck in the sand. So I won't be able to go to the dance with you.

''{Cut back to the group shot. Strong Mad and The Cheat look annoyed, and The Cheat's arms are folded.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still in fake voice}'' I left you some cold meatloaf under the fridge. ''{voice returns to normal, but he continues to feign disappointment}'' Ooh...

''{Cut to close-up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{feigning disappointment}'' That little robot's stuck in the sand ''again!'' I guess I don't have a date for the dance.

''{Cut back to group shot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{speaking normally}'' Oh well... Looks like you two losers ''{Strong Mad looks shocked and then angry}'' and me one cool guy will just have to crash the ever-loving style out of it! Now listen close to my mastardly plan!

''{Fade to black, then cut to and zoom in on [[All the King's Men|All the King's Men]]'s bass drum, then fade to the band on stage. Cut to a banner reading "Entrapment All Up On the Moon", then pan down to Homestar and Marzipan dancing on the gym floor. Homestar is wearing a tuxedo and a black propeller cap, and Marzipan is wearing a red formal dress and her hair is now curled.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh... Don't look now Marzipan, but I think we're the hottest couple at the prom.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, as always, we're the only couple at the prom.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But what about Strong Sad and Deborah?

'''MARZIPAN:''' That is unmistakably Coach Z.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Who?

''{Cut to the drink table where Coach Z is pouring Listerine into the punch. Coach Z is wearing a [[Wikipedia:Dickie|dickie]] and bow tie and Strong Sad is wearing a space suit.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z, you oughta be ashamed of yourself.

''{Coach Z fumbles and drops the Listerine.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' You're supposed to be our ''chaperon!'' ''{says with a French accent while waving his hand}''

'''COACH Z:''' Are you kiddin'!? I'm just lookin' out for all yer hygienes. Have ya ever talked to one of these kids up close!? Their breaths is ''terbirle''!

''{Someone turns off the light, plunging the scene into pitch darkness. There is a thud sound and a record scratch. Everyone at the prom gasps.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey! Watch those hands, David Coppafeel!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, David!

''{The lights turn back on, revealing Strong Bad, The Cheat and Strong Mad in the center separating Homestar Runner and Marzipan. Homestar continues to dance while Strong Bad speaks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right, senior citizens! This prom is officially crashed! Now peep my mastardly plan! I rigged up this button—

''{Cuts to a close up of Strong Bad's hand, which is holding a remote control with a big red button labeled "GO!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —so that when I mash go on it, everybody's pants will POOF AWAY! It's a mass pantsing, see?

''{He presses the button and the [[DELETED]] buzzer sounds.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' What!?

''{With dramatic music, the scene quickly cuts to the pants area of Marzipan, then Coach Z, and then really quickly Homestar Runner, Strong Sad, The Poopsmith, The Blacksmith, The Knight, Strong Mad, The Cheat, before finally stopping on Strong Bad. He is apparently the only one at the prom wearing pants. The camera scrolls up from Strong Bad's pants to his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You gotta be kiddin' me! I'm the only one that wears any pants?!

''{Strong Bad's pants poof away, showing white boxers with lipstick kisses on them.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And now to announce your Prom King and Queen! This year's Prom King is... Pom Pom! ''{applause}''

''{Cut to an area of the gymnasium that features the banner and cut-out forms of Nebulon and The Moon.}''

'''VOICEOVER:''' ''{spoken words appear onscreen}'' Accepting the award for Pom Pom is Homestar Runner because Pom Pom's at a much cooler private school prom.

''{Homestar walks out wearing a crown and then takes a swig of Listerine and starts gargling, sounding exactly like Pom Pom.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{Cut to an excited Marzipan}'' And your Prom Queen is... Strong Bad ''{Marzipan looks bewildered}'' with no pants on! ''{applause}''

''{Cut back to Homestar. Pant-less Strong Bad walks in from the left wearing a tiara and holding seven roses.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh thank you so much! ''{applause}'' You people are a sweet delight! Just one big almond paste filled sweet delight!

''{Homestar leans forward, kicking his foot backwards. Cut back to an angry Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Every freakin' year. ''{blows one of her bangs out of her face}''

'''VOICE FROM OFFSCREEN:''' Ohhhh, yeah!

''{Marzipan looks surprised, it then cuts to the rest of the gym, who all gasp. Then it cuts to The Poopsmith who shakes his head and shrugs his shoulders. Cut back to Strong Bad at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And the best part, was that I also got a twenty-dollar gift certificate to the All-You-Can-Eat Old Folks' Cafeteria. Man, I ate my weight in creamed fish and okratinis. Alright, I gotta get outta here. I'm taking Delilelia to see David Coppafeel perform. ''{gets up and leaves}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*A senior [[Wikipedia:Prom|prom]] is a formal dance held at the end of the final year of high school (around the time of year that this email was produced), chiefly in the [[Wikipedia:United States|United States]]. Musical entertainment, refreshments, and adult [[Wikipedia:Chaperon|chaperons]] are often present at these events.
*An "[http://listserv.linguistlist.org/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0308c&L=ads-l&D=1&F=&S=&P=6102 okratini]" is a martini served with a pickled [[Wikipedia:Okra|okra]] pod instead of an olive.
*"Summat" is regional English slang for "something."

===Trivia===
[[Image:kotvoqpcs.png|Let the king have some!|thumb|right]]
*The filename for the SWF file is the expected "sbemail151", but the HTML file is "kotpoptoon" and the HTML file "sbemail151.html" does not exist.
**The email was [[Main Page Messages|announced on the main page]] as a new toon as a prank; when it was released the message button read "king of town toon!"
**Later in the week, the button was changed to "Strong Bad Email"
*The label on the disk in the Floppy Disk Container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#broderbund classics|broder bund classics]]".
*This is the first time The Blacksmith has appeared in any Homestar Runner cartoon since his debut in [[The King of Town DVD]] six years previously.
*The Strong Sadstronaut was previously seen in the weekly [[Sketchbook 2006#SK-2006-03-30|Sketchbook]].
*[[Nebulon]] appears as one of the decorations at the dance.
*[[The Moon]] on the banner first appeared in [[Mr. Shmallow (toon)|Mr. Shmallow]].

===Remarks===

*Strong Bad is wearing boxer shorts when his pants poof off. However, in [[New Boots]], he claims he doesn't wear "[[Underwear|underwears]]."
*Assuming Strong Bad's button worked the way it was supposed to, and Homestar was not telling the truth in the Easter egg, he was not wearing pants. This further adds to the mystery of [[Homestar Runner's Pants]].
*Since an okratini is a drink, Strong Bad could not have ''eaten'' his weight in them, unless he consumed the okra pods.
*When Strong Bad addresses the audience and compares them to an almond-paste-filled sweet delight, he is describing the real confection of [[Wikipedia:Marzipan|marzipan]].
*Although it was stated in [[highschool]] that all the characters looked different in high school, all the characters appear as they would normally. This may be due to Strong Bad's "doodle memory", though it may also be, considering their ages are neither implied nor stated, that they are still ''in'' high school.
*The band performing is named "''All'' the King's Men". However, [[The Little Chef Guy]] and [[The Cleric]], who first appeared with the rest of the king's men in [[The King of Town DVD]], are notably absent from the band.
*In this email, Strong Bad's imaginary girlfriend's name is spelled "Delilelia". However, in the following [[Quote of the Week]], it was spelled "Delelilia".
*Strong Bad last expressed a desire for tusks in [[animal]].
*Mastardly is a [[portmanteau]] of master and dastardly.

===Goofs===
*When the scene is focused on Strong Sad and Coach Z, it can be seen that the table is on the blue mat. However in the following far shot, it is on the wood.
*In the Easter Egg, right after Strong Bad brings up the email, his head doesn't move, even when he reads the first half of the introduction.
*When the scene is focused on Strong Sad and Coach Z, the scoreboard is at the far right of the screen. Then, when the lights cut out and the scene focuses on Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat, the scoreboard is in the exact same place even though the camera has zoomed out.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When the email first came out, right before Marzipan says "That is unmistakably Coach Z", her eyes showed up where her mouth should have been.

===Glitches===
*When Homestar keeps his eyes shut while standing next to de-pantsed Strong Bad, his regular pair of blinking eyes appears every few seconds beneath his already closed lids.

===Inside References===
[[Image:Poopsmith spokemaybe.png|thumb|What does The Poopsmith need with a mic, anyway?]]
*The lipstick pattern on Strong Bad's shorts is the same as the one in [[video games]].
*"Senor proms" is a reference to the common [[Senor|mispronunciation]] of Señor, and is further highlighted by the Senor Cardgage Easter egg.
*In this email, Coach Z makes a [[concoction]] by spiking the punch with [[Listerine]]. Coach Z was previously seen drinking Listerine in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]].
*Strong Bad previously fabricated a story about a girl leaving him to go to another planet in his [[autobiography]].
*This email makes some references to [[robots]].
*In the Easter egg, Homestar Runner's stubborn insistence that he was wearing long pants at the prom is a reference to [[long pants]], an email in which Homestar goes crazy after Strong Bad accuses him of not wearing any pants. This email also deals with [[pants]] in general.
*This is another instance of [[mashing]].
*Strong Bad uses a [[single-button remote control]].
*The name of the dance is "Entrapment [[All Up On]] the Moon".
*While it isn't certain that "Ohhh Yeah" was spoken by The Poopsmith, a similar voice was used in [[different town]] to demonstrate what he would sound like.
*Strong Bad claimed he crashed his fair share of Shortcoming [[Prancing|Prance]]s.
*The "missing" email song is similar to that of [[radio]] (both mentioning "email style").
*Strong Bad plans to "crash the ever-loving [[style]] out of" the prom, as well as singing about "e-mail styles."
*The "okratini" and Coach Z's spiking the punch bowl with [[Listerine]] are references to [[alcohol]].
*Strong Bad becoming the Prom Queen is an example of [[gender confusion]].

===Real-World References===

*[[Wikipedia:David Copperfield (illusionist)|David Copperfield]] is a popular illusionist.
*The "Entrapment All Up On the Moon" dance and the outfits worn by the band are references to the "Enchantment Under the Sea" Dance from the ''[[Back to the Future]]'' movie trilogy.
*The phrase "Koo koo ka-choo" on the business card in the Easter egg refers to the song [[Wikipedia:I Am the Walrus|I Am the Walrus]] by [[The Beatles]]. This is a common [[Wikipedia: mondegreen|mondegreen]] of the actual phrase from the song, "GOO GOO GOO JOOB".
*[[Wikipedia:Listerine|Listerine]] is an antiseptic mouthwash that contains alcohol.
*The "robot on Mars that got stuck in the sand again" is a reference to the Mars Exploration Rover [http://marsrovers.jpl.nasa.gov/spotlight/20051212.html Opportunity], which got stuck in a sand ripple on April 26, 2005.
*[[All the King's Men!]] is a reference to the nursery rhyme [[Wikipedia:Humpty Dumpty|Humpty Dumpty]], as well as [[Wikipedia:The Kingsmen|The Kingsmen]], the band famous for their recording of the song "Louie, Louie," and the novel, "All the King's Men."
*Strong Bad's remark, "It's a mass pantsing, see?" is an example of stereotypical "mobster speech", which was popularized by [[Wikipedia:Edward G. Robinson|Edward G. Robinson]] in the movie [[Wikipedia:Little Caesar|Little Caesar]].


===Fast Forward===
*The King Of Town really would get his Very Own Quite Popular Cartoon Show in [[KOT's VOQPCS!]].
*The tune from the Easter egg showing the email intro is used for [[An Important Rap Song]].
*Strong Sad also wears his astronaut helmet in [[Ever and More!]].
*Strong Bad has no pants on in [[Main Page 24]] and [[nightlife]].
*Deborah is mentioned in [[Happy Dethemberween]] as [[Marzipan]]'s "hot cousin".
*The Poopsmith would actually sing in [[email thunder]].

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

'''MATT:''' Don't believe it for a second, you guys!

'''MIKE:''' I wish I ''could'' believe it, unfortunately! ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''RYAN:''' Sounds like a good show.

'''MIKE:''' I know, it would be good. I think there's definitely gonna be— have to be a laugh track, if we ever make this...

'''MATT:''' Make it like a sitcom...

'''RYAN:''' ''Three's Company''.

'''MIKE:''' It's all the uh... the Chef—

'''MATT:''' The Chef and the—

'''MIKE:''' and the Blacksmith

'''MATT:''' —Blacksmith and the S— the Scribe. ''{laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Is there— does he have a scribe? What do we call him?

'''MATT:''' The Bishop? The Clergyman?

'''MIKE:''' Oh, the trumpeter guy? I don't know what we call him.

'''MATT:''' No, what's the religious guy called?

'''MIKE:''' Oh, I call him the... Clergyman, I think.

'''MATT:''' The Cleric?

'''MIKE:''' The Cleric.

'''MIKE:''' Anyways, as Strong Sad said...

'''MATT:''' That's Strong Bad, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Whi— now, which— who are you?

'''MATT:''' I'm Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, okay.

'''MATT:''' This is Brian.

'''MIKE:''' Alright.

'''RYAN:''' Brody, Brian.

'''MATT:''' Strong ''Bad'' is the wrestleman.

'''MIKE:''' Mm-hmm. Alright.

'''MATT:''' Did you go to any of your proms, Ryan, in high school?

'''RYAN:''' I went to senior prom.

'''MATT:''' Did you?

'''RYAN:''' 'Cause I had a tux from Jazz Band.

'''MATT:''' Oh, nice!

'''RYAN:''' Get closer.

'''MIKE:''' Say that again. I had a tux—

'''RYAN:''' I... I went to prom.

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

'''MIKE:''' He had a tux from Jazz Band! 'Cause he's a jazz man!

'''RYAN:''' "Mr. Jazzman," they called me. ''{pauses}'' Did you guys go to prom?

'''MATT:''' Uh, I did not. Oh, uh, I went to junior prom. Yes.

'''RYAN:''' J. P.

'''MATT:''' And uh, I went to— I think I wore a shoulder holster. I was dressing up as a Reservoir Dog for junior prom. And I wore a shoulder holster underneath my suit. No gun in it, but just—

'''MIKE:''' Probably couldn't get away with that now.

'''MATT:''' —probably get you expelled, and ''{laughs}'' sent to Homeland Security. ''{laughs}'' Do high schools have their own office of Homeland Security?

'''MIKE:''' I think so.

'''RYAN:''' Color codes.

'''MATT:''' Y—you can either go to the clinic, or you can get sent to Homeland Security. ''{pause}'' Oh, portmanteaus! -tooks. Portmantooks. ''{pause}'' Oh, Ryan. ''{pause}'' Your cousin, Marvin Berry!

'''MIKE:''' Is that the tuxes that they're wearing?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, pretty much the same as— I don't know what that band is called, in ''Back to the Future''.

'''MIKE:''' Marzipan's hair looks pretty good there, doesn't it?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, done up! Marzi.

'''MIKE:''' But it doesn't look like her ponytail seems to be the same size, so I don't know where the rest of that hair is coming from—

'''MATT:''' It's extensions.

'''MIKE:''' I guess it's all extensions, yeah.

'''MATT:''' See, Strong Sad dressed up in a costume to go to the prom, just like I did!

'''MIKE:''' What is the deal with those flap things that old-timey tuxedos...

'''MATT:''' I don't know! They're always in cartoons, and like somebody can't keep it tucked in from smackin' 'em in the face.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah! I feel like it's in maybe some ''Three Stooges'' or something! But what is it?

'''MATT:''' I dunno.

'''MIKE:''' Why couldn't they just wear a shirt?!

'''MATT:''' It can roll up— I can roll up like a shade, though, apparently, and go ''{imitates a shade spinning around}'' right underneath your... ''{pauses}'' Poof away! [[Little Girl]] one time said that clouds poof away.

'''MIKE:''' If— if you tried to lift a cloud it would poof away.

'''MATT:''' ''{in response to Strong Bad's pants being poofed away}'' Oh! ''{pauses}'' I feel like when we were writing this, that we— we wrote this at the time when we— we got to this point and we're like, "Oh, wait. Yeah, Strong Bad's like kinda the only one that ''has'' any pants on"—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah!

'''MATT:''' —and we hadn't decided that in advance; we didn't quite know what was gonna happen.

'''MIKE:''' That was always the case: it seemed like if you went to a— ''didn't'' go to your own prom, but went to some other school, preferably a pr— a private school, prom, it was—

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' —you had some hot girlfriend that nobody else knew that probably didn't exist—

'''MATT:''' —and maybe you were hanging out in your basement by yourself that night... You were at the ''private'' school prom!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, watch this. Watch her poof her ha—hair.

'''MATT:''' Oh!

'''MIKE:''' That's sh—

'''MATT:''' What— Wait, hey, was that The Poopsmith? Nun-uh, "I don— I don't know!" says The Poopsmith.

'''MIKE:''' I think that was the Blacksmith, probably.

'''MATT:''' Yeah? ''{in a deep, raspy voice}'' Oh.

'''RYAN:''' The Cleric.

'''MATT:''' ''{In the deep, raspy voice}'' Oh, yeah. ''{laughing, in his normal voice}'' It was definitely the Cleric. ''{pauses}'' Um, creamed fish sounds disgusting. Do you think we can get some creamed fish upstairs at Piccadilly, you guys?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Okratinis sound pretty good, though.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. We're headin' up there. Coppafeel. ''{pauses}'' Oh! ''{in response to Strong Bad's jump offscreen}''

''{laughter}''

== What to call these guys ==
I made {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Videlectrix_Guys&diff=561626&oldid=561610 an update}} to the page and called the guys first and second programmer based on [[Workin' on the Game]] and [[Peasant's Quest Preview#Easter Eggs]]. Would moving the page to [[Videlectrix Programmers]] be better? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:42, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
:I think "Videlectrix Guys" is better since it comes from QotW. Are they ever officially referred to as Videlectrix Programmers? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 18:45, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
::Yes. [[Peasant%27s_Quest_Preview#Transcript]]: "Videlectrix programmers have actually been hard at work bringing this epic adventure to life." "Videlectrix Guys" was just something we made up for the quote, right? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:46, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
:::Hmm, listening to the Preview, "Videlectrix programmers" sounds more like a description than a name. To me, the name in QotW is more of a name... to come up with it, they had to think, "Okay, we have this quote, what do we call these guys?" "Um, Videlectrix Guys." They could have just as easily chosen Videlectrix Programmers, but they didn't... It's not a huge issue, but I definitely lean strongly toward "Videlectrix Guys". {{User:Trey56/sig}} 18:49, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
::::I agree that "Videlectrix programmers" sounds more like a description, but that doesn't change anything for me. Where did they choose "Videlectrix Guys" for the QotW? Quotes of the week aren't labeled; the {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Secret_Pages_XML_Source&diff=385641&oldid=383352 XML name}} is just "vidguys". I think they (or whoever updated the weeklies that week, maybe Ryan) were just looking for something short. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:50, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::Oh, here's something else: [[Fan_Costumes_'07]]. I think that one gives strong support for "Videlectrix Guys". {{User:Trey56/sig}} 18:55, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
::::::Okay, that's better, but to me it's just a description too. They work for Videlectrix and they are guys. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:57, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::::And here's another one (maybe the strongest one yet): {{p|l=http://old.hrwiki.org/index.php?page=Peasant%27s+Quest/EasterEggs Peasant's Quest/EasterEggs}} on the old wiki. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 18:58, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
::::::::Where is that? Is it on the current wiki? If not, why not? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:59, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::Not sure -- it's the screen you get when you die. It's not really a "response" per se, so I can't think at the moment where it should go. At any rate, if they sign a message from themselves as "The Videlectrix Guys", I think we'd be hard-pressed to find a better name for them. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 19:00, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
::::::::::Yes, you've convinced me. Now, should they be called "First/Second Guy" instead of "Programmer" in the transcripts? Because that's really what I'm getting at: consistency between this article and the transcripts. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:01, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::::(w00t!) Perhaps. I've been thinking of that too, and I wonder if there's a better way to identify them: by shirt color. But "Pink-shirted Guy" and "Blue-shirted Guy" just don't sound encyclopedic. So, I don't know. But I did check to see, and Matt and Mike do consistently wear the pink and blue shirts, respectively. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 19:03, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
::::::::::::Amazing, I was just about to start this discussion and found there's already one going on ;-) I'm strongly against calling them programmers. We know that the blue shirted guy does the graphics, so we could call him the graphics guy. But we don't know what the other's job is, and we also don't know if the graphics guy has other duties either. My guess is that the shirts are part of their characters, and we might as well use those rather than "First/Second Guy" (although that woudl be safer).{{User:Loafing/sig}} 02:35, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::::::I'm not sure which is less encyclopecic: Pink-/Blue-Shirted Guy or First/Second Guy. One of the guys is clearly the boss of the other. Is there some way we could incorporate that into names? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:08, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
::::::::::::::The boss guy is the CEO according to the job interview thingy - but we don't consider that canon. Shall we call them "boss guy" and "graphics guy"? I suggest that we keep calling them guys for obvious reasons.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 02:16, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

== Henri Chapardieu ==

Should it be mentioned that (at least according to that blog) one of the Videlectrix guys is named Henri Chapardieu? Apparently, all the Videlectrix guys are French. [[User:76.69.122.144|76.69.122.144]] 23:42, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

:I've thought about this a bit, and I don't think we should regard the content of that blog as official Homestar Runner content — that interview portrays the Videlectrix guys as French, but in the times we've heard them speak (i.e., [[Workin' on the Game]]), they don't sound French at all — Matt Chapman's character's voice is some American accent (I can't quite place it). Also, I'm not sure whether TBC or that blogger came up with the name "Henri Chapardieu", but I lean toward the blogger inventing it.

:So, it's a fun little interview, but I don't think we should try to incorporate it into our "official body of knowledge"... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:52, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Right, time to add this to the article. Incidentally I realised it would have to be released before this, but I compared it to the August 12 2004 date of the toon, rather than the Oct 31 2003 date that the photos were probably taken... Something about a lack of sleep and what little brainpower I have being channeled into exam studying... funny thing is that as I type this Strong Bad from this very page is singing "Some people have too much time on their hands" and I just wasted god knows how long pouring through these flash files looking for this... And now I'm rambling, which I tend to do when I'm tired, so I guess I'll go to bed now. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 14:46, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

== Good Costumes ==

I know that The Brother Chaps are just fooling with the people in the costumes, but I must say, I kinda think that Strong Bad insulting the costumes isn't very nice to the people who made these costumes.
I don't mean to sound dumb, but you got to admit, those people put alot of hard work into making all those pumpkins and costumes. TBC does not sell costumes, so people make them, and it look's like it took alot of work.
I just don't think it's right that they're being insulted, because the people who made it may think that they're costumes stink.
What do you all think? [[User:Cheddarlebbon|Cheddarlebbon]]

:Strong Bad insults the name of nearly every person that sends him an email. Nothing malicious is meant by it, it's just good natured ribbing. I'm sure the people who dressed up and sent the costumes in were thrilled to be featured on the site, not insulted by Strong Bad's [[labor day|witty jibes and clever put-downs]]. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 07:13, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

:Plus, complementing someone on their costume is not nearly as funny as ragging on them. [[User:Dramus|Dramus]] 03:42, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

== Styx ==

from an LTWFTW:
Perhaps that little ditty SB sings is referring to the song "Too Much Time On My Hands" by Styx.

Any thoughts?

:Sounds nothing like it at all. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:49, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Furthermore... "The tune of the song Strong Bad sings while describing the "Snub-nosed Marzipan" would later be used as part of the Cheat Commandos theme." It was? Doesn't sound anything like it to me, maybe some close intervallic similarities but in general, both the rhythms and notes are different. I guess the ending is kind of like that, but I don't think that's enough to say that this song "was later used." Thoughts?--[[User:Big Dog|Big Dog]] 03:34, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

== Code Lyoko reference? ==

In talking about the "talismans of power" Strong Bad mentions a jungle, Ice World and a desert, which are (more or less) three of the sectors of Lyoko. Also, the "talismans of power" might be referencing the Dragon Balls. --[[User:DarkAlex|DarkAlex]] 01:46, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

* A character that looks like Homeschool Winner is among the sketches in the booklet that comes in the Strong Bad Sings CD. He's on the far right of the last page.

* HOMESCHOOL WINNER'S MENTIONED IN THE STRONG BAD EMAIL DVD! Sorry, I'm just really excited. In the bonus feature where the Chapman brothers are playing with the voices, and Mike breaks the [[Bubs]] "voice tube", Matt says: "Great, we'll have to kill Bubs off. Just like Homeschool Winner."

I heard that Homeschool Winner was the original prototype for [[Homsar]]. As Homsar gained in popularity, they didn't need to use Homeschool Winner anywhere.

Homsar? Really? They look nothing alike! That's cool, where did you hear that? I'm probobly going to dress up as him for a halloween costume party. [[User:Stongbah]]

Maybe the fact that characters either only mentioned (Senor and Mr. Bland) or expected not to be used (Trogador) have been given some screen time, The Brothers Chap may be considering some of their old ideas. Given the personality line for Homeschool Winner, he - if used - could take the place of Strong Bad's original role as the villain. Either that or be a ''worthy'' rival for Strong Bad.

== Homestar singing ==

Homestar's singing sounds to me like a reference to "Jam On It" by Newcleus. The way he performs the "This mo'nin'! This mo'nin'! This mo, re-mo, re-mo-mo'nin'!" rythmically sounds like "Jam on it! Jam on it! I said jam on-on-on, jam on it!" from that song.
:Huh. I just listened to the song and it ''did'' sound a bit like Homestar's "Mo'nin" song. And it would make sense knowing TBC's common references to 80s hip-hop songs. {{User:DevonM/sig}} 21:39, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

:Newcleus released "Jam On It" long before the Beastie Boys even existed. Furthermore, "Jam On It" is considered a classic of hip hop, meaning that it is very likely that the Beastie Boys were imitating them.

== Garfunkel outfit? ==

The first thing I thought of when I saw Strong Bad's outfit was Garfunkel from Simon & Garfunkel. The blonde curly hair and black turtleneck are exactly the same; it's uncanny.

== poem at the end? ==

At the end of the email, SB writes

:My Homeless Roma'ic.
:Love Poems 101
:Oh the hearts you will win.
:Like this lavender scented plug-in
:New paper, come on and get some!

Is that that a specific type of poem structure? I first thought it was a haiku, but it doesn't follow the tradition 3 line 5-7-5 pattern. You poem gurus out there, please chime in. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 03:39, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
: First of all, you left off a line: "So there you ha' it". Secondly, haikus generally don't rhyme (although SB's poem doesn't have the BEST rhyme scheme ever...) It might have an official name, but it just looks to me like a rhyming couplet with a smaller rhyming couplet in each line. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:06, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

:I think that it is just a standard AABCCB rhyme. It may be an attempt at a Sextilla, which uses that formula, but that needs eight syllables in each line. It is vaguely limerick like, but there is a line to much, roma'ic doesn't rhyme with 101, and it doesn't really scan. I think that it is just supposed to be a generic rhyme.

That Mary Ann line has got to be a reference to something. My first reaction was [[Wikipedia:Mary Ann Summers|Mary Ann]] from Gilligan's Island, but I'm not a big enough fan of that show to know if that really makes sense. SB seems to be using it to imply that Homestar is naïve about romantic matters. Is that what her character was like? Anyone know? Ot maybe the joke is supposed to be that he was just on a roll from talking about girl names.
[[User:LikeAsItself|LikeAsItself]] 01:00, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

== Article name ==

I think that we should move the article for the toon to [[DNA Evidence]] and just use the {{tl|abouttoon}} and {{tl|for}} disambiguation notices for the top of the page, rather than having a separate disambiguation page. My reasons: (1) the toon is more important than the running gag, now that all the appearances of the gag have been included into the toon, (2) it will make it easier to cite the toon in the future, which will be necessary for the article much more often than for the gag, (3) it will look better in {{tl|toonnav}} at the top of [[Date Nite]] and the other one (currently [[The King of Town DVD]]), although we could just do a workaround by substituting the template or using a parserfunction in {{tl|toonnav}}. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:19, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

I realize this has been voted down several times already in previous toons/emails, but, yeah, I'm just gonna go ahead and point out what I believe is another oblique reference to Bill Lumbergh of [[Wikipedia:Office Space|Office Space]]: Strong Bad's message on the Lappy starts with "Hi. Yeah, go ahead and...", which is very similar to Bill's manner of speaking. And in this case (as with previous turned-down references), the context is clearly similar to that of Office Space, where Strong Bad writes as sort of a manager, presumably to someone he views as a subordinate.

== Loose end ==

This cartoon explained almost everything, except why Pom Pom wanted Homestar to bring him the DNA evidence in "From Work." [[User:BethEnd|BethEnd]] 04:28, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I think Bubs just filled it with whatever soda or coloring he had around the stand. [[User:BethEnd|BethEnd]] 14:57, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Or how about why Strong Bad wanted the DNA evidence to continue experiments on The Cheat when he knew that it was Strong Sad's DNA he was preventing Bubs from analyzing. {{User:Jeadly/sig}} 16:52, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Another question that's been bugging me: Couldn't Strong Bad just get some more of Strong Sad's DNA and start his investigation again, or am I reading too much into this? {{User:The Chort/sig}} 17:47, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

I think my favorite part of the whole gag (or at least before this toon) was left out. How/when did Strong Bad tamper the DNA evidence? Was he just trying to make up a cool story for The Cheat? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 18:41, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

== Twin Peaks ==

Ok I tried to say this was a reference to Twin Peaks. Am I doing something wrong? Why is this being removed when I add it?
:Because it's TTATOT. Countless shows have "previously on" segments. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:17, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
::I understand that, but Twin Peaks has the trademark jazz and fingersnap "previously on Twin Peaks" segments. This wouldn't be the first time Twin Peaks was referenced by TBC either.

I'm gonna leave it off, though, as I think the "catch all" film noir ref already on the article is enough. --[[User:Positatewithoutpizzaz|Positatewithoutpizzaz]] 10:30, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

== Mild Mannered Alter-Ego ==
Could this phrase be a reference to Calvin and Hobbes? That's where I first saw it. I'm amazingly out of the loop on popular culture though, so I could be wrong. --[[User:James|JamesGecko]] 06:42, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
:I'm not sure, but I think it was first used to describe Clark Kent, Superman's mild-mannered alter ego. I do know that it's a cliche in superhero comics. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 06:44, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
::Yes, it translates back to early Superman, where Clark was described as a "mild-mannered reporter". --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 06:45, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
:::Superman is the ultimate source I believe. It also translates to Unix geeks, where the concept of a "super-user" exists, (one with root access on their account, see man (8) sudo). Unix admins often refer to non-priveledged users as "mild-mannered".{{User:Bryanc/sig}} 07:21, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Maybe we should mention the Superman/Clark Kent/Kal-El thing on the article, it is a clear reference. {{User:Slipstream/sig}}
:Seems to me to be more like a generic reference to superheroes and their alternate identities. The "mild-mannered" bit also applies to Spiderman/Peter Parker and numerous other heroes, although it is correct to say that Superman started the trend. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:25, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

== toothéd ==

It seems at least notable to me to mention Homestars teeth.

I totally understand the arguments against and why the references have been removed.

I still think it's worthy of note, as his teeth aren't a normal thing.

::Probably a topic better suited for the forum. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:11, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

== French ==

Two things. First of all, Strong Sad's pronunciation, is that a foreign pronunciation? He has in the past accentuated in either French or Japanese.
However, the French word for "due" is "dû." Is Homestar trying to say "Mountain Dû" and "tastes like dûdû?" Obviously it's a mistranslated pun, but it's [[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/unnatural#Trivia not the first time.]]--[[User:71.203.169.248|71.203.169.248]] 10:48, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Strong Sad's pronunciation of "Marzipan" is not French. I don't know what it is, but it's certainly not French.
Moreover, "dû," the past participle form of "devoir," is not pronounced like "doi." [[User:Pensivepoet.babblingbard|Pensivepoet.babblingbard]] 23:49, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

:I think the pronunciation of Marzipan is a reference to Strong Bad's old accent. At least, it sounds just about the same as when SB said it in [[The Reddest Radish]]. - [[User:Wrath|Wrath]] 15:10, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

::I think Strong Sad was trying to say "Marzipan" but with one of the other ways to pronounce it (märt'sə-pän'). Also, Homestar (who commonly swaps one word for another which sounds similar) meant to say "Mountain Dew" but said "Mountain Doi", which sounds like a French pronunciation of some words (ie, Roi - pronounced "rwa") {{User:Pants 3000/sig}} 17:31, 20 May, 2007 (UTC)

:::I agree; it's not a reference to a specific French word (the closest would be "dois" or "doit," which are other forms of "devoir"), but rather something to give it a French sound (and, as such, not notable).[[User:Pensivepoet.babblingbard|Pensivepoet.babblingbard]] 20:16, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Another old conversation I'm bringing up, but I think it needs addressing. (Note that I did just make a post about Strong Sad and French in yes, wrestling's talk. I don't think this necessarily applies, especially since Marzipan is german in origin, I think...) ''However'', I ''do'' think that Homestar's speech ''is'' a reference to a specific French word. (that's a lot of italics..) Anyway, hear me out. It seems to me that the "joke" is supposed to be that "Dew" sounds like the french word for 2 (Deux? I dunno, I don't speak french). Somehow homestar screws up the joke (Yeah, it's hard to screw up the pronunciation of a joke dependent on pronunciation, but it's homestar) and confuses it with the french word for 3 (trois?) and ends up with some odd pormanteau of the two... It's complicated I know, but it seems to make sense. Thoughts? [[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 05:50, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

==Taxidoimied Strong Bad==

The scene where Homestar hangs up his coat and hat on the 'statue' of Strong Bad suplexing a cougar is from 'your funeral' where it's one of the ways SB wants to be preserved - and apparently part of a sbemail "fantasy" segment. How does that work? Did SB actually die and come back to life during that email?
:No, it was clearly a fantasy because of Strong Bad's changing his mind back at the Lappy. Not sure how it works here though. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 16:09, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
::Not to mention, the "previously on..." segment is literally just a series of clips from previous emails, regardless of how they fit in to whatever passes for a reality in the H*R universe. :) Whoever qualifies as the director of the toon (in-universe) just took the clips verbatim.

== Fun facts ==

Two things I noticed in the Fun Facts section (I want to hear your opinion first, so I didn't edit it)

Strong Sad looking up at the toon title in the beginning of the toon breaks the fourth wall.
:I believe he was looking up to some kind of banner that is part of his presentation. "Coincidentally" the banner is also used as the toon title. So it wouldn't necessarily be a Fourth Wall break since the sign actually "existed". --[[User:80.135.88.26|80.135.88.26]] 16:46, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
::There's a fourth-wall break somewhere in there, whether it's Strong Sad or the banner itself. If the banner shifts out of the title screen and into Strong Sad's scene, then the banner itself has broken the fourth wall. If Strong Sad is looking at an element that is physically outside his scene, then he's breaking the fourth wall. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:32, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
::Decline. I see nothing. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 21:38, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
:::After looking at it in more detail, I agree that it's not clear he's breaking the fourth wall here. Strong Sad has been known to do so before, but in those cases it's really obvious. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:14, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

This cartoon is the conclusion to the DNA Evidence story arc.
:I agree, it looks like this - On the other hand this seems exactly the kind of statement to me that would seduce TBC into making even more DNA evidence references, just to annoy the wikians :) So maybe we should be careful with claims like these. --[[User:80.135.88.26|80.135.88.26]] 16:46, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
::I would have worded it: "This cartoon is based on the DNA Evidence running gag that appeared in five straight Strong Bad Emails, starting with X." I agree that declaring it the END of the story arc may be premature, since we don't know what TBC's plans are for this gag. I'm sure we'll see an occasional reference to it from here on out. :) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:32, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
:::Maybe they'll make a "DNA Evidence II" with the characters trying to take the DNA evidence from Strong Sad!

== Continuity ==

"Well, it all started several weeks ago."
"Well, it all started a few weeks ago."
"Yeah, I went over to Strong Bad's the other day."
This whole thing occurred in TWO days, didn't it? One day when the DNA evidence went around, and then Coach Z 'took it to work the next day.' Then again, they may just be referring to when the emails happened, which was, as of now, 'several weeks ago,' etc. --[[User:Abelhawk|Abelhawk]] 19:18, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

::Agreed. This is a fourth-wall break. They're clearly referring to several real time weeks ago, which happened to be two days their time. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 21:33, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

== Keep it rusty ==

This is one of those rare cases when you can [[:Image:Keep It Rusty.ogg|hear]] what's actually being said by slowing down the audio. I'm going to change the transcript and subtitles now. ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 19:18, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
:I agree, it sounds like "rusty," not 'rustic."
::I have no opinion one way or the other. I asked the guys in the channel when i was doing the write up and "rustic" seemed to be the consensus. I have no idea which it is, and will let you guys fight it out. [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 20:26, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

== Reference to email #12? ==

As you might have noticed on the Lappy's screen, does the email Strong Bad receives in [[credit card]] seem to ring a bell? I know the message on the screen is slightly similar.

I was thinking the same thing. I was planning to mention this fact in Inside References, but now I don't have to!
"Whatever happened to Duke Nukem?"-[[User:Neox|Neox]] And whatever happened to my nice ASCII art I put up here?

== Test Tube Reoccurance ==

Underlings was the only email to not specifically use the term DNA evidence in dialogue, but the test tube on the "You-reek-a" shirt does look exactly like the one used to hold the DNA evidence. worth mentioning? [[User:71.104.226.62|71.104.226.62]] 00:32, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

==4th wall break==

Homestar's voiceover at the very beginning is a 4th wall break. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 02:04, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

== Homestarms! ==

I think this is pretty clear proof of the idea that Homestar has invisible arms, and doesn't use telekinesis or whatever. When Homestar drinks the DNA evidence, the arms of his trenchcoat move and bend like a real (visible) arm would, and the sleeve is even open as if there was an arm in it.

== 24 Reference ==

The "Previously on HomestarRunner.com" opening is a direct reference to the opening sequence of 24 with the main character narrating and the color of the background and typeface. I was going to include it but there was a note that said not to. I think the reference is strong enough to warrant inclusion especially considering in the past there was a separate narrator. - {{User:BlackWidower/sig}} 17:52, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

:I happen to have a hat and trenchcoat. It's a reference to ME! --{{User:Bigscarymike/sig}} 04:04, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

:A couple questions for clarification: (1) Are you talking about the lines in italics and braces between lines of dialogue? (2) Are you talking about this toon only, or a trend throughout all of the recent transcripts? If yes to both, then I think you bring up a good point, and we should perhaps talk about it at a more prominent location, like [[HRWiki talk:Standards]]. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 04:10, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
::(1) Yes. (2) I was referring specifically to this toon, and the later revisions to the transcript that moved these action descriptions to break up lines of dialog.

:No. I think it's just a mixture of things which could destroy one's staircase (fire or termites), thrown together in an absurd manner.

==Super Hero Bubs/Coach Z==

Now that Strong Bad, Bubs, and Coach Z have their own super heroes, could this be the sign of another series of toons featuring Strong Badman? The Freedom Champions of the USA (FCUSA). [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 16:02, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

::Have you noticed that the superhero versions of Coach Z and Bubs resemble Deutschman's body (as seen in [[haircut]] easter egg)? Nah! I already checked, and the positions are different.

== This changes EVERYTHING! ==

As the Inside References state, the "part elephant or rhino" thing is a reference to Strong Sad's [[Soolnds|soolnds]]. He says on [[Strong Sad's Journal]] that his feet are not elephant feet; that elephants have elephant feet while he has soolnds. But at the rhino, despite that he seems to have been giving that information the entire time. Maybe they '''''AREN'T''''' soolnds after all. It seems Strong Sad has something to hide...
[[User:Neox|Neox]]
:By "rhino" I think he means "hippo". No rhinoceros are mentioned in this toon.{{User:Bryanc/sig}} 20:49, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
:Or, they aren't elephant feet because he is not an elephant. If DNA evidence proves he has elephant DNA, which is not established, then he is still not an elephant, anymore than your DNA being a 98% match to a monkey makes you a monkey. The end result of this line of reasoning is speculation of how Strong Sad received elephant or hippo DNA, and perhaps sheds light on why Strong Bad is so reluctant to discuss his parents, but as that is an absolutely inappropriate topic on SO many levels for this talk page, I suggest we allow it to drop. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 20:47, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

In response to Qermaq (nice name, by the way): Drop it? No way! I was just saying that when you add all his [Strong Sad's] rantings about soolnds and his maniacal laughter at the end of this toon together, you get a situation where it seems that Strong Sad has something to hide. [[User:Neox|Neox]]

== Absent characters ==

Is it worth mentioning that this 'toon is only missing 3 major characters? (Strong Mad, the King of Town, and the Poopsmith) [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 18:46, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
: There are other toons that miss only one or two major characters that we don't explicitly note. In fact, we don't even note every case in which all twelve appear (it's assumed that they do in Halloween episodes, for example, except of course the first which didn't include [[Homsar]]). --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:48, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
::I meant, is 9 out of 12 that remarkable a number? (In unrelated news, the 3 not included just happen to be my 3 least favorites, as noted on my user page.) [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 03:32, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

== Homsar's pants ==

Should we mention the fact that Homsar mentions his "Easter pants" despite the fact he supposedly wears no pants? I think no, mainly because we can clearly see he has no pants, and that it's Homsar. He almost never means what he says (the almost meaning he hasn't spoken correctly since that one answering machine). {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 00:32, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
:There's really only a running gag about [[Homestar Runner's Pants]], but not about Homsar's.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:44, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

== Inside References ==

Regarding edit 486838, DeFender1031 says: that's not how inside references work

I'm not sure why listing SB's memory as being faulty isn't how an inside reference works. There is a dramatic difference between one flash back and his version of a flashback, which harkens back to several other instances of him changing events in his own memories. This refers back to [[highschool]]. So this could be either a direct reference back to that cartoon, or a running gag about Strong Bad's sketchy memory. Either way, it looks like an inside reference to me, and I thought the way I described it in the edit made this clear.

-192.35.35.35
: The reason why your edit was reverted was the reference needs to be a specific character, running gag, or incident (such as in [[highschool]], there was the "doodle memory" Easter Egg of events in [[caper]]). The inaccuracies of Strong Bad's memory, while well documented, are more of a general character trait. To use another example, the behavior of Homsar's hat would not be an inside reference, because that's part of the character, not a reference to something specific. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 15:26, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

== To prevent an edit war ==

If you could explain what the " WHAAAAT??!!?&,:;%${}" is suppose to be reference to, then we can judge whether it should be kept. Right now, it seems like an obscure or personal joke, which has no place in a Wiki page, much less in a transcript. The transcript should be an accurate record what is said during the toon. Adding the extra punctuation might be the norm in a written comic strip, but it is not a grammatical reflection of Strong Sad's line. (As I noted in my original reversion, Strong Sad's line does have have braces.) {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 15:19, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
:[[flashback]]. therefore it's a reference, therefore, unless it breaks a specific rule or standard it can stay. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 15:20, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
::Wbwolf is right; transcripts are supposed to provide an accurate description of the toon. This inside joke does not add anything to the transcript, does not accurately reflect Strong Sad's line, and will confuse anyone who does not know what it is referencing. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 15:29, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
:::Okay. I just thought it would be cute, and as you can see from my original edit i wasn't even sure then. I agree with you now that i've seen your arguments. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:15, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

==Who sent the email?==
I believe that when I emailed Strong Bad about the DNA Evidence popping all over the place in the Strong Bad Emails he answered it with an entire toon. Or maybe they just wanted to clear it up. [[User:Baseballfreak530|Baseballfreak530]] 16:39, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
:There were probably a lot of people who sent emails like that, as they'd been running that joke for 5 emails by then. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 16:42, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
::Not only that, but it was probably planned before they even started it. {{User:Techgeekmbg/sig}} 18:39, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

It seems to me that Homestar's line: "Previously on Homestarrunner.com" is similar to the beginning of multipart Stargate SG1 episodes. Should this be added?

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...

==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.

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)

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.

== 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)

I'll admit though, you've gotten farther than anybody else ever has. I bet they'll make a statue or something in honor of you somewheres.

==The Three Keepers' Messages==
There are several messages that the game may return while [[Rather Dashing]] is answering questions of [[The Three Keepers of Trogdor]]. The simplest way to complete this part of the game is to bribe the Keepers; the messages returned in this case are listed [[Peasant's Quest Responses#bribery_route|above]]. If Rather Dashing has not acquired the three items necessary to bribe the Keepers, however, he must answer a question from each of them. The messages returned while answering their questions are listed here.

===The First Keeper===
====Introductory Message====
How dare you enter this fairly sacred chamber! You explain that you're here to smote Trogdor and if he doesn't get outta your way, him too! You cannot vanquish Trogdor! Only the Three Keepers of Trogdor hold the tools with which to destroy the Burninator. The Trog-Shield, the Trog-Helmet, and the Trog-Sword. And the only way we'll give them up is if you answer the three Trog-Trivia questions correctly.
====Possible Questions====
''The First Keeper will ask you one of the following questions (the correct answer is '''highlighted'''):''
:Okay here goes. What did you win from the Archery game?
:A. SuperBow FunTime TM

:Okay here goes. What does Mendelev have you tell Dongolev?
:'''A. Haldo'''
:B. Hallo

====Response to Correct Answer====
"Ah crap! You're right. Here, take this stupid Trog-Shield!"
====Response to Incorrect Answer====
"Sorry peasant! You fail! And as punishment, you will be turned into...RON CUMBERDALE!!"
 
You ask who the crap Ron Cumberdale is.
 
"Just this kid from 4th grade that I really hated. But he was a BIG LOSER and HE SMELLED!"
 
Well, you not exactly dead. But there's no way you could defeat Trogdor as Ron Cumberdale. Your quest ends here. Thanks for playing.

===The Second Keeper===
====Introductory Message====
Hold, peasant! You must answer the second dreaded Trog-Trivia question!
====Possible Questions====
:Listen careful now. Which one of these letters is the letter C?
:A. B
:'''B. C'''
:C. A
 
:Listen careful now. How many berry bushes are there in the whole kingdom of Peasantry?
:A. 4
:'''B. 5'''
:C. 6
 
:Listen careful now. What was the Innkeeper's pantry full of?
:A. Epsom Salts
:B. Epson Printers
:'''C. Old Man Rub'''
====Response to Correct Answer====
"That's right. Oh. This sucks. Guess I have to give you this Trog-Helmet. Dang."
====Response to Incorrect Answer====
"WRONG! You are hereby cursed to write corny folk songs for the rest of eternity! The kind that only OLD PEOPLE LIKE!!"
 
Well, you not exactly dead. But you certainly can't face Trogdor after writing 'Wheat Grows Sweet, But My Gal's Sweeter'. Your quest ends here. Thanks for playing.

===The Third Keeper===
====Introductory Message====
Think you're pretty hot stuff, eh? Let's see you answer the deadly and pretty impossible THIRD TROG-TRIVIA QUESTION!

:Riddle me this. Which way does the river that runs through Peasantry flow?
:A. West to East
:B. Northwest to South
:'''C. Northeast to Southwest'''
====Response to Correct Answer====
"Uh oh. You got it right. Trogdor's gonna kill me. Okay, you can have the Trog-Sword. Just promise not to kill any Trogdor's with it, kay?"
 
You just stare at the Keeper blankly.
 
"Okay fine! You can have the dumb thing anyways. Trogdor's through the beaded curtain over there."
 
The fabled Trog-Sword is yours. You now have the means to strike down Trogdor. Good luck, peasant.
====Response to Incorrect Answer====
YES! I was hoping you'd get mine wrong. No Trog-Sword for you. In fact, no skin for you either!
 
Wow. You sure dead. You had a good run, though. Thanks for playin.

''Note: if you fail to provide "A", "B", or "C" as an answer to any of the above questions, the Keeper will ask the question again, replacing the first sentence with the following one:'' Peasant fool! Choose A, B, or C!

There are many messages that the game gives you when you input commands that are not essential to the game's storyline. Here is a list of all that have been found. When more than one option is given, such as "get/take _____", either word will produce the same response.

{{compactTOC3}}
{{clear}}
===#===

===A===
*'''"Ask about _____":'''
**'''Baby:'''
***(to Baby Lady) - "This little guy's all I got left. If only someone would steal back all our riches from that filthy Jhonka."
**'''Fire:'''
***(to knight) - "Well, whenever I see peasants, they tend to be on fire. So get yourself on fire. I hear horse grease gives a nice, controlled burn."
***(to baby lady) - "You need fire? A couple of trees over by the waterfall used to be on fire. But now there's like a signal lantern over there or something." / "So should I ask that signal lantern?" you ask. / "I dunno man! Whattaya want from me?"
***(to Mendelev and Dongolev*) - "Trogdor just burned down some idiot peasant's cottage. You should ask him," says Mendelev. / "Yeah, this jerk goes on vacation to some prancey lake and..." / They see you staring daggers at them and turn bright red. / "Oh. Nevermind," says Dongolev. "Um, yeah. What's a fire?" adds Mendelev.
***(to Jhonka) - "Burninator make fire! Barbecue all peasants!"
***(to innkeeper) - "I've always preferred being on fire at night. Looks prettier and keeps the butterflies away."
**'''Jhonka:'''
***(to knight) - "Since the Kerrek showed up, we don't see the Jhonka so much anymore. He lives in that little cave over in west Peasantry."
***(to Baby Lady) - "That nasty thing killed my husband and took my riches!!" / "I thought Trogdor killed your husband," you interject. / "Oh right. Yeah. That's what I said. Trogband killed my husbdor."
***(to Jhonka) - "The Kerrek is dead!" he cries and hops around some more. You wonder how someone this primitive could have made that much dough.
**'''Kerrek:'''
***(to knight) - "I call him Big Stinky. He's slow and stupid, but he'll pound you into milks meat without a second thought."
**'''Naked Ned:'''
***(to knight) - "That weirdo used to live over in west Peasantry but now I guess he just prances around the forest in his birthday suit."
***(to baby lady) - "Don't talk about that pervert in front of the baby here."
***(to Mendelev and Dongolev*) - "That guy creeps us out. In fact, shut up about him."
***(to Jhonka) - "Filthy naked peasant! Stay away from my cave-hole!" Who's he calling naked? HE'S the one wearing the string bikini.
***(to innkeeper) - "He used to be such a nice, clothed young man. Wonder what he's done with all his old clothes?"
**'''robe:'''
***(to knight) - "Peasants wear those brown robes. You know, with the rope around the waist. Get yourself one of those."
***(to baby lady) - "You can't have mine, pervert! I'm not a nudist peasant like that weirdo over in west Peasantry!"
***(to Mendelev and Dongolev*) - "We wouldn't know. We only wear archer clothes. You just can't arch real well in a robe, y'know?"
***(to Jhonka) - ''see naked ned''
***(to innkeeper) - "I wear my robe hood-down so it's easier to trim my ear-hairs. If you need a robe, maybe try someone that's not using theirs."
**'''smell:'''
***(to knight) - "I never met a peasant that didn't stink. If you wanna smell bad, get the Kerrek involved. That thing reeks!"
***(to baby lady) - "What smells is junior here's drawers! I gotta quit feeding him so much horse!" / "And don't start asking me for his diapers, sicko!"
***(to Mendelev and Dongolev*) - "That giant pig running around sure smells bad. Maybe talk to him."
***(to Jhonka) - "Kerrek smell! Now Kerrek dead!" screeches the Jhonka. So you can infer from this that all smells are dead? You always sucked at the analytical questions.
***(to innkeeper) - "Well, if you don't stink, maybe find something that does and wear it. Like a dead carcass or summat."
**'''trogdor:'''
***(to knight) - "If I had a gold coin for every whining peasant's cottage that freaking dragon burninated, I'd be rich as a jhonka."
***(to baby lady) - "I hope you kill that stupid dragon. My 'Wives of Squished Peasants' support group would bake you a Poor Gary pie if you did."
***(to Mendelev and Dongolev*) - "Oh man, there was this one time when I came THIS close to having Trogdor ARROWED!" says Dongolev. / "Hey, shut up! That was me!" interrupts Mendelev, "YOU almost arrowed that blue baby!" says Dongolev. [sic] / "Did not!" / "Did so!" / "Did not!" / (You see where this is going.)
***(to Jhonka) - "All hail Burninator! Trogdor Number One! Beat Peasant Tech!" says the grimy Jhonka.
***(to innkeeper) - "Are you talking about that young green boy that lives up the street? He's always tearing my roof off and eating my customers."
**'''anything else:'''
***(to knight) - "I don't know anything about that, short pants."
***(to baby lady) - "I dunno what you're talking about."
***(to Mendelev and Dongolev*) - "Either we don't know anything about that, or you're real boring."
***(to Jhonka) - "Jhonka don't know nothing bout that!"
***(to innkeeper) - "I don't know nothing about no whatever you just said."
***(anywhere else) - "Ask about what?"
: * - You can only ask Mendelev and Dongolev when they're together.
*'''"attack sign"''' (at the Mountain Pass) - "I was being facetious, Mr. Smarty-short-pants. No sign attacking for you."

===B===
*'''"boo"''' (anywhere) - "Scared me."

Stinkoman 20X6 Playable Characters

DarkAlex — Sun, 10 Jun 2007 21:30:51 GMT

DarkAlex: /* Characters */

There are two playable characters (with several variations) and one playable aircraft in [[Stinkoman 20X6]]. In general, you move with the arrow keys, jump with '''A''', and attack with '''S'''.

== Characters ==
{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 style="border-collapse:collapse"
|- bgcolor=#eeeeee

! Description
! width = 95 | Controls
! width = 100 | Idle animation
! Levels
! width = 97 | Ending Pose
|-

| align=center | [[Image:stinkoman20X6normal.PNG|50px]]
| '''[[Stinkoman]]''' is the main character. He can run and spin-jump, and his attack is a punch that fires a long-range blast, which slowly falls toward the ground as it flies. You can hold down the '''S''' key for rapid-fire, although only three blasts can exist at a time. ''(Note: The range of Stinkoman's blasts was dramatically increased when Level 9 was released.)''
| '''A''' - Jump '''S''' - Fire
| align=center | Yawns
| align=center | [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 1|1]], [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 2|2]], [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 3#Level 3 Boss: Stlunko (Transcript)|3.3]], [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 6|6]], [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level -0|-0]]
| [[Double Deuce]]
|-

| align=center | [[Image:FlyingStinkoman.png|50px]]
| When '''Stinkoman''' encounters a high wall in Level 3, he overcompensates and ends up jumping high into the sky. In the air, he can only move left and right, and his punching attack does not shoot. He returns to normal once he's back on the ground for the boss fight.
| '''A''' - Nothing '''S''' - Punch
| align=center | None
| align=center | [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 3#Stage 3.1 (Transcript)|3.1]], [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 3#Stage 3.2 (Transcript)|3.2]]
| N/A
|-

| align=center | [[Image:stinkoman20X6fist.PNG|50px]]
| '''Stinkoman''' gains one of [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 3#Level 3 Boss: Stlunko (Transcript)|Stlunko's]] giant fists after defeating him on Level 3. He uses this fist to keep 1-Up from getting into trouble in the Lava Zone. The fist causes Stinkoman to run very slowly, and he can just barely jump. However, when he attacks, he smashes the giant fist into the ground, destroying nearby enemies and sending showers of rocks down on any enemies below him. Stinkoman automatically blocks lava flows by standing underneath them and raising his fist. When he is not blocking lava, the fist can protect him from enemy shots.
| '''A''' - Hop '''S''' - Smash fist
| align=center | Leans on fist; falls asleep
| align=center | [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 4|4]]
| '''1-Up:''' "I wanna be the guy, too!"
|-

| align=center | [[Image:Better-1-Up.png|30px]]
| '''[[1-Up]]''' runs and climbs ladders much more slowly than Stinkoman, but he can jump much higher (presumably because he's on [[the moon]]). His attack is a forward kick, and you can make him do a spin-kick by holding down '''S''' and the left or right arrow key simultaneously. The spin-kick move protects 1-Up from all non-projectile attacks. He can move left and right while spin-kicking, and he can start a spin-kick in the air.
| '''A''' - Jump '''S''' - Kick
| align=center | Sleeps; blows snot bubbles
| align=center | [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 5|5]]
| 1-Up [[Trophy]]

|-
| align=center | [[Image:Stinkomanonice.png|50px]]
| In the Ice Zone, '''Stinkoman''' is just as normal, with two exceptions: He has poor traction on the ice, and if he stands still too long, he will shiver and eventually turn into an ice block, costing him one unit of health.
| '''A''' - Jump '''S''' - Fire
| align=center | Shivers; Freezes; Loses 1 Energy
| align=center | [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 7|7]]
| Double Deuce

|-id="Stinkowing"
| align=center | [[Image:Stinkowing.png|50px]]
| Stinkoman flies the '''Stinkowing''' through a dense jungle on his way to the Evil Fortress. You can move the Stinkowing in all four directions, and your shots travel straight forward at a constant speed, regardless of how fast the level scrolls. (This can provide a handy cheat if timed correctly for when the level speeds up.) It has a limited number of shields that will protect it from all enemies and hazards for about six seconds. It is possible to travel through walls, though you will take damage if you are not using a shield. You can pick up extra shields along the way.
| '''A''' - Shield '''S''' - Fire
| align=center | None
| align=center | [[Stinkoman 20X6 Walkthrough Level 9|9]]

Stinkoman 20X6 Screens

DarkAlex — Sun, 10 Jun 2007 21:27:28 GMT

DarkAlex: /* Try Level X.X */

There are various large screens that occur throughout [[Stinkoman 20X6]], and they vary from level to level. These are screenshots that take up the whole screen and relate to what is occurring and to the level you are on.
__FORCETOC__
== Try Level X.X ==
These screenshots appear after cutscenes and right before you play the level. They feature the main character in an action pose with the text "TRY LEVEL X.X" underneath.

{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 style="border-collapse:collapse"
|- bgcolor=#eeeeee
! Screen !! Levels
|-
| [[Image:trylevel1.PNG|200px|TRY LEVEL X.X]] || 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7
|-
| [[Image:trylevel5.PNG|200px|TRY LEVEL 5.X]] || 5
|-
| [[Image:trylevel-0.PNG|200px|TRY LEVEL -0.X]] || -0
|-
| [[Image:trylevel9.png|200px|TRY LEVEL 9.X]] || 9
|}

== Game Over ==
When you lose all your lives, you get taken to the Game Over screen. Besides the standard GAME OVER text, it also features your character in an upset pose along with a humorous caption.

{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 style="border-collapse:collapse"
|- bgcolor=#eeeeee
! Screen !! Text !! Levels
|-
| [[Image:gameoverstummyhurts.png|200px|MY STUMMY HURTS...]] || <center>MY STUMMY HURTS...</center> || 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7

|-
| [[Image:gameoverstummieshurts.png|200px|OUR STUMMIES HURTS...]] || <center>OUR STUMMIES HURTS...</center> || 9
|}

== More Levels To Come ==
When you beat all the levels of a version, it would take you to a "More Levels To Come" screen. These usually varied from version to version, and when a new level came out, the screen for the old version was deleted.

{| border=1 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 style="border-collapse:collapse"

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*This toon was originally released on Friday, January 13th, 2006. The original email [[dragon]] was released Monday, January 13th, 2003, exactly three years prior.
*Stinkoman's debut was in [[japanese cartoon]], which was released on January 6th, 2003, explaining Stinkoman's comment about his birthday being last week.

===Trivia===
*This is the first time [[Trogador]] has appeared in a toon on the website, previously only being shown at the [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005|NYU Talk]]. [[The Brothers Chaps]] mentioned at that time that they would likely never put Trogador on the site.
*This update occurred along with a special Trogdor sale at the [[Store]].

===Remarks===
*The [[Trogdor (song)|Trogdor song]] uses the version recorded for [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]], though they cut from "cottages" to the tag line, "And the Trogdor comes in the...", thus matching the form of the original song.
*The first picture of a costumed Trogdor came from Anime Weekend Atlanta 11.
*One of the last pictures seen, a Trogdor figure made of several thousand [[Sticky Notes|Post-it notes]], is one of the Homestar Runner [[School Sightings#Trogdor: MIT Hacker|School Sightings]].
*The Trogdor-shaped fish stick and the crocheted Trogdor were originally for sale on [[Wikipedia:EBay|eBay]].
*Clicking "Back" at the end always links to [[Main Page 17]], the 20X6 main page.
*Trogador's footsteps "shake" the frame of the Flash file a bit.
*On the edges of the frame when viewing the Flash file, the buildings are capsules.

===Goofs===
*Stinkoman has a shadow when he is running, but Trogador does not.
*When the screen freezes to the sketch style, Stinkoman's party hat disappears.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Originally, clicking on "again" would go to the start of the TROGDOR song. Additionally, the beginning would be slightly cut-off, sounding like "ogdor". This has since been fixed.
**However, this has only been fixed in the last frame. If you go back a frame at the end, you can still click the original "Again" button.

===Inside References===

*In [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], Stinkoman stated that he likes [[prawns]], which explains the one on his birthday hat.
*The word "Trogday" is the second time someone's birthday has been celebrated by replacing the ''birth'' in ''birthday'' with part of the person's name. The first time was [[The Cheat]]'s "[[cheatday]]".
**This practice is continued in [[Flash 10th Birthday]], in which Strong Bad mentions "Flashday".
*The graffitied "Trogdor Strikes Again!" is a reference to the original email [[dragon]] when Strong Bad burns [[Strong Sad]]'s drawing.
*The slide with the man dressed as a peasant holding a Trogdor plush is from [[More Fan Costumes]].
*The music at the very end is the same short tune at the end of [[Under Construction]].

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: comics</div>
Dear Strongbad, 
I would like to Draw a few comics about you and the cheat. 
But 1st i'd need to know what type of promblems you and 
the cheat would be faced with. Once i get a rough copy i'd 
send it to you to see how you like it. I hope you interested. 
-Malinko-
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "promblems" and "I hope you interested" as written.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Malinko, I hope ''you'' interested in getting sued into the middle ages by The Cheat and me. Cause that's what would happen if you drew a few comics about us. ''{clears screen}'' Just like that time Homestar started selling Strong Bad flavored water. ''{pronounces "flavored water" queasily, types in wavy blue-green font}'' We shut that mess down on the quickfast.

''{Cut to Homestar Runner in The Field with a stack of bottles labeled "SB2O". Homestar is holding a bottle.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I got your Strong Bad water right here! S-B-two-oh. Bottled at the source. Pure as a mountain goat.

''{Strong Bad and The Cheat approach; The Cheat is wearing a suit and tie and dragging a briefcase.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, The Cheat, let's sue him!

''{The Cheat opens the briefcase, which is filled with colored water balloons. Strong Bad and The Cheat start pelting Homestar with the balloons.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hooray! The orders are violently flying in!

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Man, I've got the best lawyer soft tacos can buy. And his aim with those waterbombs is crazy good! He can hit Strong Sad from like three football fields away.

''{Cut to Strong Sad taking notes on a notepad at the athletic field, which has the Jolly Dumple painted in an end zone and a sign next to the sideline reading "FIELD 3".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{taking notes}'' Note to self: ''{flips page}'' get—big—ger— ''{flips page}'' note—boo— ''{flips page}'' —k.

''{Water balloons come flying from behind the trees in the distance, hitting Strong Sad and knocking him on his face.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Mercy me!

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I think we were suing him for custody of his not-so-thin mints that day.

''{Zoom out to reveal The Cheat standing next to Strong Bad, holding up a manila envelope.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahoy! An unmarked manila envelope. Must be that weaselly Malinko's comic.

''{The Cheat snaps the envelope open. Strong Bad pulls a white piece of paper out of the envelope and looks at it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh my!

''{Close-up of the paper, which has two scribbles labeled "Strong Bad" and "the Cheat", a few stains, and the signature "-m"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Rough copy is right! ''{turns the paper from side to side}'' Uh, you don't need my help finding promblems for these guys, Malinko.

''{Close-up of The Cheat}''

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

''{Close-up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' These don't look anything like us! Man, that kid was going to have so few pants on after we got done suing them off him. And now he's gonna strut around all on-panted waving his pant-covered legs in our faces. ''{he waves his leg}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{throws paper up in the air}'' You're a genius, The Cheat! Now ''that's'' what I pay you for. Open up. ''{holds up a taco and The Cheat opens his mouth wide}'' Up. Ah! Ah! Ah! ''{throws the taco in The Cheat's mouth, who gulps it down}'' There you go.

''{The Cheat opens his mouth again and claps his paws together making The Cheat noises, imitating a seal.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, okay. One more. ''{throws another taco in The Cheat's mouth, who gulps it down}''

''{Cut to silhouettes of Strong Bad and The Cheat as Malinko drew them, walking in front of a cloudy sky.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooch. Eetz. Ouch. Atch.

''{Cut to Strong Bad and The Cheat standing in The Field, now revealed to be wearing barbed wire.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now we look just like Malinko's cat-scratchings. Our case is air-tight. Why stop at pants? We could probably sue that black zip-up hoodie off him now too!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{turns around and makes The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, this stuff ''does'' make me feel pretty tough. Ooh, in fact... we should star in own action-packed credit sequence called, "Rough Copy!".

''{A "ROUGH COPY!" title screen appears with Strong Bad and The Cheat wearing barbed wire and holding revolvers. Big band music plays. Cut to Strong Bad, who runs across a row of 2-D silhouetted buildings. The screen reads, "with STRONG BAD" in the corner. Cut to the Cheat, who fires two rounds from his revolver. The screen reads, "and THE CHEAT" in the corner.}''

''{Two strips of video appear on the screen, one with Strong Bad walking down a sidewalk, and one with the Cheat tossing a taco in his mouth. Cut to a horizontally split screen with Strong Bad pointing his revolver in each one. Cut to Strong Bad and The Cheat riding down a highway in the [[Gremlin]]. Strong Bad is hanging out the passenger-side window with his revolver drawn, and The Cheat is standing on the roof of the car.}''

''{Cut to white silhouettes of Strong Bad and The Cheat holding their guns, with the text "ROUGH COPY!" above them and "Promblem-Packed Action!" below them. The music ends.}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad speaking to Strong Bad and The Cheat at The Field. Strong Bad and The Cheat are still wearing barbed wire, and Strong Sad is wearing reading glasses and carrying a very large "Bigger Noootebook".}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, hello, gentlemen. I'm here representing my client, Malinko. ''{zoom in on Strong Sad}'' It would seem you are infringing on his ''highly'' intellectual property. ''{points upward on "highly"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You gotta be joking! There's nothing intellectual abou—

''{Strong Sad begins pelting Strong Bad with snowballs. Strong Bad covers his face.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ow! Eech! Ooh! Agh-where did you get snowballs this time of year!?! ''{Strong Sad continues hitting him with snowballs}'' How did you fit them in that notebook?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{holds a snowball aloft}'' I've been saving these in the freezer since I was eight! ''{throws another snowball at Strong Bad}''

''{The screen dims, and Homestar Runner pops in front, holding a bottle of "Malinko Drinko".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Drinko some Malinko! Crystal clear like domestic beer.

''{Cut back to the Lappy. Strong Bad shakes snow off his head and grumbles.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Can't you see Malinko? All this hot legal action is tearing our non-existent friendship apart! Looks like we'll just have to settle out of court.

''{Strong Bad turns away from the Lappy and starts eating a Zagnut bar.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mmm. That's some good settlement. ''{chews}''

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

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Not-so-thin mints.PNG|thumb|Those mints are not so thin.]]
*When Strong Bad turns away from the computer to respond to The Cheat, click the text on the screen to see a box of Not So Thin Mints.
*At the end of the email, click the candy bar to see Senor Cardgage talk to Strong Bad.
:'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' ''{leaning in from the right}'' Hey, Grendolyn! Don't bogart that settlement now!
*At the end of the email, click the wall plug to see a clip of Homestar Runner sitting on the couch.
:''{Homestar is sitting on Marzipan's couch looking sad. Windy noises.}''
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{after quite some time, sighs}'' DNA evidence.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[SB2O|SB2O]] is a play on H2O, the molecular formula for water.
*Domestic beer is beer made in one's own country. This is most likely a disparaging comment referring to hugely mass-produced American beers which have a reputation for being [http://nymag.com/restaurants/features/22308/ watery and bland].
*The Cheat's clapping his hands together indicating he wants another taco is the manner in which trained seals clap their flippers together to indicate to their trainer that they want more food.
*To "[[Wiktionary:bogart|bogart]]" means "to hold on to something for longer than one's turn". The phrase is coined after [[Wikipedia:Humphrey Bogart|Humphrey Bogart]].


===Trivia===
*The floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#LHX attack chopper|LHX attack chopper]]".
*This is the first time The Cheat's teeth were visible when he fully opened his mouth. The only other 'toon where he fully opened it was [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].
*If you view the Flash file, you can see a little bit of the [[No Loafing sign]] in the scene where Strong Bad is complaining about Malinko's pants.

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad and The Cheat seemingly [[Hammerspace|pull the soft tacos out of nowhere]].
*This is the first time Strong Sad has been [[Strong Bad and Strong Sad's Relationship|physically violent]] toward Strong Bad.
*When Strong Bad and The Cheat first walk across the field, only the barbed wire they are carrying and the parts of them sticking out from above and beneath it are silhouetted against the sky, whereas the rest of their bodies are clearly visible in all the other shots with them holding the wire.
*According to [[record book]], Strong Sad actually can write using [[Inconsistencies within the Homestar Runner universe|extremely small letters]].

===Goofs===
*While Strong Bad and The Cheat are waterbombing Homestar, Strong Bad's arm seems to move behind his legs on the opposite side of his body from the briefcase instead of passing over the other side of his body toward the water balloons.
*During the second Lappy scene (just after Strong Bad and The Cheat waterbomb Homestar), the ripple effect from clicking on the Lappy's screen can be seen outside the screen area.
*During the Senor Cardgage Easter egg, Strong Bad's glove moves independently of his arm. Right at the end, the arm snaps into position.
*When Strong Bad leans back in the Senor Cardgage Easter egg, his left cheek doesn't move with his head.
*At the end, the cheek changes sizes before snapping back into place.
**This is a glitch of Flash tweening, as an object that is not a symbol (i.e. Strong Bad's mask design without the head or mouth) sometimes does not get recognized as a moveable object, so all that can be done is to scale it bigger or smaller.

===Inside References===
*This is the sixth Strong Bad Email in a row to mention [[DNA evidence (running gag)|DNA evidence]]. Unlike the previous occurrences, the gag appears in an Easter egg rather than the main cartoon.
*This email makes reference to [[pants]], [[goats]], [[guns]], and [[alcohol]].
*[[The Jolly Dumple]] can be seen on the football field.
*The scene of Strong Bad and The Cheat silhouetted against the sky is similar in appearance to the scene of Strong Bad marching down to Bubs' in [[isp]].
*Strong Bad's reaction to Homestar's "flavored water" is similar to his reaction to Homestar's bread sing alongs in [[origins]]. In each case, he types "flavored water" and "bread sing alongs" in moving green text. 
*The intro is similar to [[Homestar Quiz]], specifically when you get 7 answers correct.
*The Cheat's attorney outfit is from [[sb_email 22]].
*Strong Bad is eating a [[Zagnut bar]], seen previously in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], [[kind of cool]], and [[flashback]]. Senor Cardgage is known to carry [[Aldi Bag|a bag]] full of them.

===Real-World References===
*"Not-so-thin mints" are a reference to Thin Mints, a type of [[Wikipedia:Girl Scout cookie|Girl Scout cookie]].
**The Strong Sad logo on the box resembles the [[Wikipedia:Trefoil|trefoil]] logo of the [[wikipedia:Girl Scouts of the USA|Girl Scouts]].
*The Cheat and Strong Bad's "action-packed credit sequence" is extremely similar to the "pleasantly understated credit sequence" at the beginning of the PC game, ''[[Wikipedia:Sam & Max Hit the Road|Sam & Max Hit the Road]]'', while the black-on-blue color scheme is similar to the two-tone opening credits from the various episodes of ''[[Wikipedia: Sam & Max: Season one|Sam & Max: Season One]]''.
*Strong Bad's remark that The Cheat's waterbomb aim is "crazy good" may be a refrence to Pop Tarts.


===Fast Forward===
*The DNA Easter egg would be revisited in the big toon [[DNA Evidence]].

{{rename|Talk:Strong Bad Email Outros#Outro?}}
[[Strong Bad]] sometimes closes his [[Strong Bad Email|Emails]] with an '''outro''', or closing remark, reminding viewers to check back next week immediately before [[The Paper]] comes down. This was especially common during the [[Tandy 400]] era, but in recent years this tradition has died out a bit. However, he still occasionally does an outro, although it will often ask for The Paper to come down.

Homestar Talker

DarkAlex — Sun, 18 Mar 2007 16:48:02 GMT

DarkAlex: /* Glitches */

{{gamenav|Old Game|talky2|Homestar Quiz|She Loves Me!}}

[[Image:homestartalker.PNG|thumb|Making! Out! With! Marzipan!]]

In this game, you can click on words to make {{Film|Homestar Runner}} (and, later, {{Film|Strong Bad}}) say them.

'''Page Title:''' Homestar Talker

== Instructions ==
Make Homestar say ''Hilarious'' stuff! Make him say a certain ''7-word phrase'' and you'll get a surprise! A ''star'' will appear for each word you get correct. This is gonna be awesome!

==Words==
===Homestar Talker===
<table width="80%">
<autocolumn cols="3" width="33%">
*Homestar
*[[Pom Pom|Pom-Pom]]

*I
*[[Strong Mad|mad]]
*get
*[[Strong Sad|sad]]
*stupid
*my
*champion
*but
*Homestar
</autocolumn>
</table>

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:strongbadtalker.PNG|thumb|The secret Strong Bad Talker]]

*If you make Homestar say, "Pom-Pom and Strong Bad are totally going out," the hidden Strong Bad Talker becomes accessible.
*On the Strong Bad talker, if you make Strong Bad say, "But Homestar can win the stupid competition," the [[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]] becomes available.

== Fun Facts ==
=== Trivia ===
*Homestar and Strong Bad have their modern designs in this game, but [[The Brothers Chaps]] modified their faces to look like they do today, since they still have their original voices.
*The original phrase to unlock the Strong Bad Talker was "[[Making Out|Making out]] with Marzipan is totally awesome," a phrase that is still referenced on various parts of the site (such as [[The Cheat Theme Song]] video and [[virus]].)
* The original phrase to unlock the Strong Bad's Room Main Page was "Homestar is nothing but a total loser."
* Strong Bad's "nothing" is from (or is very similar to that in) [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD|In Search of the Yello Dello]].
* Strong Bad's "competition" is from (or is very similar to that in) [[A Jumping Jack Contest]].

===Remarks===
*Homestar pronounces his "R" correctly when clicking "are" and "marzipan", as opposed to his usual speech impediment.
*Although "Strong Bad" is two words, and is written with a space between them in the game, it still counts as one word towards the 7-word phrase.

=== Glitches ===
*If you click and hold the words, they don't move their lips. This also lets you make phrases without losing stars. When you let go, they will move their lips, unless the cursor is not hovering over the word.
*If you click a word repeatedly in fast succession, each click adds a simultaneous voice track, creating an echo effect.
*Hitting fast-forward while right-clicking also accesses the Strong Bad's Room Main Page.
*Clicking on "loser" in the Strong Bad Talker does not gain or lose any stars.
*If you click on a popup on the Strong Bad Main Page, when the Flash file restarts, the popup will stay on the screen.

===Fast Forward===
*Homestar says "marshmallows" in [[No Hands On Deck!]] the same way he does in this game.

Batman

DarkAlex — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 01:49:19 GMT

DarkAlex:

[[Image:fakeclimbing.png|thumb|Holy false climbing, Dangeresque!]]
[[Image:bat-climb.jpg|thumb|Holy false climbing, Batman!]]

[[The Brothers Chaps]] have made many references over the years to the famous comic book enterprise '''''[[Wikipedia:Batman|Batman]],''''' or at least the campy [[Wikipedia:Batman (TV series)|television show]] version of it. They've professed in one of the DVD commentaries that they'd love to see the original ''Batman'' TV series released on DVD. This page lists some of the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar universe]]'s more batty references.

==Appearances==

===Toons===

*'''[[Halloween Fairstival]]'''
**[[Strong Bad]] dresses as "Cesar Romero as the Joker". [[Wikipedia:Cesar Romero|Cesar Romero]] played [[Wikipedia:Joker (comics)|The Joker]] in the '60s television series.
**Strong Bad calls [[The Cheat]] and [[Strong Mad]] his "bad pennies," which is what the Joker's henchmen were called in the television series.
**At the end of the toon, clicking Strong Bad makes him say "Hello, kiddies! A-meet the Joker!", a reference to The Joker's greeting in 'The Joker Goes To School'
*'''[[Where's The Cheat?]]'''
**The Brothers Chaps do a version of the scene change in the television series, using [[Homestar Jr.]] instead of the Batman logo.
*'''[[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]]'''
**The Cheat's henchman outfit may be a reference to the henchman outfits in the television show.

===Strong Bad Emails===

*'''[[i she be]]'''
**Strong Bad says "Same Strong Bad time, same Strong Bad channel," a reference to "Same bat time, same bat channel," a line said after every episode.
*'''[[flag day]]'''
**The Cheat's penny has the words "A Bad Penny" imprinted on it, the same phrase used by Strong Bad in Halloween Fairstival.
*'''[[ghosts]]'''
**Another Batman scene change, this time with Strong Bad's mask instead of the Batman logo.
**Furthermore, Strong Bad tells The Cheat to meet him up at "the Strong Bad cave," a joke on the oft-repeated line, "Quick! To the Batcave!"
*'''[[dangeresque 3]]'''
**The scene where [[Dangeresque (character)|Dangeresque]] and [[Dangeresque Too]] "climb" the skyscraper is a parody of [http://www.1966batfan.com/climb.htm The Bat Climb], and the "The End?" shown in the final shot is a reference to the 1966 ''[[imdb:tt0060153|Batman]]'' movie.
*'''[[caper]]'''
**A sleepy [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] calls The Cheat "Batman."
*'''[[fingers]]'''
**The announcer in the beginning parodies the announcer in the television series. See [[fingers#Commentary_Transcript|Commentary]].
*'''[[no loafing]]'''
**The [[No Loafing Sign]] parodies the same sign displayed by The Joker. See [[no_loafing#Commentary_Transcript|Commentary]].
*'''[[long pants]]'''
**Strong Bad makes mention of [[Wikipedia:Adam West|Adam West]], the actor who portrayed Batman in the series.
*'''[[alternate universe]]
**Strong Bad talks about a secret underground lair with secret underground gadgets, which is possibly a reference to The Bat Cave.

===Other===

*'''[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 10.2]]'''
**Homestar calls himself "Batman" during a bad attempt at a prank call.
*'''[[Main Page 11]]'''
**If you hover your mouse over "E-mail," the H*R logo is projected onto the night sky, similar to the Batsignal.

''{"it was the HIPPO!" is written on the note card.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' —stick a Fluffy Puff Marshmallow on each corner,—

''{Four marshmallows appear, one stuck on each corner of the card. Cut to Marshie, talking through gritted teeth, in front of a portrait of an older woman.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' —and just walk away, mother...

''{Cut to Strong Bad's basement, looking at the ad on the TV. Marshie is next to a bag of Fluffy Puff Marshmallows.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' Fluffy Puff Marshmallows. Yeah! Still!

''{The words "Yeah! Still!" appear underneath Marshie. Cut to Strong Bad lying on the couch, surrounded by empty chip packets of various descriptions.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You gotta be kidding me. Man, everybody's trying to make a buck or nine off my heart-drooping loss. 

''{He feels around in the nearest bag of chips, and finds that it's empty.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, perfect. Now I'm out of my antidepressant. Nothing dulls the pain quite like several dozen half-full bags of ''{as he lists the flavorings, symbols for them appear at the top of the screen}'' Italian-herb-chipotle-buffalo-ranch-guacamole-Thai-peanut-style chippety-chomps. I guess I'll slink off to Bubs' and refill my prescription. Slinnnk...

''{Strong Bad somehow slides up and over the armrest of the couch, and off screen. Cut to Strong Bad at Bubs' Concession Stand. Bubs is nowhere to be seen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bubs! Hello? Can I get a witness? Bubs? ''{looks around the stand, and screams}''

''{Pan to the side of the stand, we see the Lappy's power cord hanging off the roof. Tense music plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Lappy's tail! I'll save you, Lappy-pie... poo... ''{runs back and forth anxiously, making the Homsar walking noise}'' Just keep your pixels on. Strong Bad's got everything under control-alt-delete.

''{Strong Bad picks up a ladder from behind the stand, and climbs up onto the roof.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Who put you up here— Wha?!?

''{The suspenseful music plays, and reveal the Lappy, with the broken Tandy and the shotgunned Compy. The Tandy is suspending a horseshoe magnet from a fishing rod above the Lappy's keyboard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's my crappier and crappiest computers!

''{Both old computers fizz and spark.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Careful, guys, let's not do anything inappropriate with that magnet... I've got a lot of important text files on that 5 meg hard drive... Now just let the Lappy go, and we can all go out for hushpuppies. You guys still like hushpuppies, don't you?

''{Both old computers fizz and spark a lot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, fine. hushpuppies are out. For some reason I... I thought you guys liked hushpuppies.

''{Both old computers keep fizzing and sparking. The Tandy also churns its floppy disk drive.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sorry, guys, we're getting nowhere. I don't speak extravagantly broken computer.

''{The Paper comes down, reading "'Sup Strong Bad. I'll help with the translation."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Paper! You're just in time! Find out what they want!

''{The Paper goes back up, and the Compy "talks" for a bit. The Paper comes back down with "They want to come out of retirement..."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Retirement? They didn't retire, I threw them away. Ask them if they mean they want to come out of ''thrown-awayment''.

''{The Paper comes down again, reading "They're not laughing. They each want to check one last email."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Are they joking? Those guys couldn't check an email with the help of sixty horses dressed up as IT professionals!

''{The Tandy lowers the magnet a little, and the Lappy's screen turns on, showing:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, okay, okay! I'll do my best. If it'll save the orphanage... I mean, my Lappy, I'll do it. Now, let's check emails like it was the deuce double-aught dweice!

''{Both old computers "talk".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It just means 2002... I... thought it was slick... slick-rick... way to talk...

''{Fade through black to Strong Bad with the Tandy at the email-checking desk. You hear the old typing effect. The Tandy sparks its screen throughout.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Green lines, green, green lines. It's a Strong Bad Email again.

<blockquote class="tandy email">
dearest strong bad 
do you remember the email that you deleted 
the hardest 
sincerly 
josh 
oakland
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "sincerly" as written, and "josh oakland" as "josho kland"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, let's just see here... Zero capitalization...

''{The first letters of each of "dearest", "strong", "bad", "do", "sincerly", "josh" and "oakland" are all briefly highlighted}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Misspelling...

''{The word "sincerly" is briefly highlighted}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lack of punctuation...

''{The blank spaces after "bad", "hardest", "sincerly" and "josh" are all briefly highlighted}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Looks like a winner to me! ''{typing}'' Dearest Josho, I have some good news for you! I DO remember the email that I deleted the hardest. And I'm still remembering it right now!!! ''{stops typing}'' Homestar! Little help please.

''{Zooms out to reveal Homestar pouring a bottle of Mountain Dew into the hole in the side of the Tandy}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm way ahead of ya, SB.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then, we'll just add some of the King of Town's fizzy denture tablets.

''{Strong Bad holds up a box of [[Oh No You Dent! Denture Tablets]].}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{offscreen}'' Thems is my after-dinner mints!

''{Strong Bad tips several of the tablets into the hole.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{heavy reverb}'' And now if you'd please turn in your hymnals, and join me in singing number 119, a-deleted.

''{Strong Bad hits the keyboard, and the "DELETED!!" screen comes up, with a gothic font. Organ music plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD & HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' Deleted!

''{Strong Bad swings a pickaxe through the keyboard and the desk. The Tandy explodes, and gives off a bad graphics mushroom cloud.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{turns away, falls to his knees and closes his eyes}'' Aaah!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Goodbye, old girl. They'll always say you went out in a blaze of green rectangular glory.

''{Homestar, with one eye still closed, starts pouring Mountain Dew on the carpet. Cut to a closeup of Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right! One down, one to go.

''{Cut to a shot of the shotgunned Compy on the desk. The suspenseful music plays. The screen fades to black.''}

''{Strong Bad is in front of the Compy. Despite the hole, he manages to type "strongbad email.exe".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' There's a big ol' hole inside my email, makin' it hard to cheeeeck...

''{He brings up the email. It is formatted around the hole.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh! Automatic hole formatting! ''{starts reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">

feats of

''{Strong Bad says "Double Dear Strong Bad" in place of the first line, and after reading "wonder", he comments "You mean, more amazing than checking an email on this computer?!" In place of the name, he says "Luke South".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, I am very serious too. Serious about the most incredible, tantalizing, pants-defying, mind-googling sights in the whole world!! ''{stops typing}'' Lalalalalalaaaa!

''{Cut back to show the whole computer room. A [[Wikipedia:Boater (hat)|boater hat]] falls on his head and a cane into his hand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ladies and Luke, I give you...

''{The Computer Room rises, as if it were a theater curtain, revealing a carnival tent.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as a sideshow caller}'' Strong Bad's Amazing Feats of Wonder! ''{Strong Bad appears in the foreground}'' Gawk and squawk as I walk and talk like an old-timey sideshow caller, and add "Lalalalalaa" to the end of everything I say lalalalalalaaa!

''{Strong Bad ducks down. Cut to inside the tent.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' First, in our gallery of ocular oddities, is a contortionist... with a twist!

''{He moves away, revealing a curtain painted with "MARZiPAN - SHE-TYPE! KA-RAZY?"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Feast your Dust Bowl-ravaged eyes on ''{Curtain lifts, revealing Marzipan with her hair tied up.}'' Marzipan, the Human Woo-man ''{rolls the next "R"}'' Rrrrrotini!

''{A logo for "The Human Woo-man Rotini" appears. Marzipan curls her neck like a spring. The audience makes amazed sounds.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Behold! An ocean of pesto!

''{Green liquid flies in from offscreen and lands on Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's not part of my act!

''{Cut to The King of Town, with some of the green liquid dribbling down from his moustache.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I know! It's a part of ''mine'' lalalalalalalaaa!

''{He sucks in the liquid. Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now, direct your attention to the Pee Wee Stage...

''{Again, Strong Bad moves aside. Now the curtain shows "THE CHEAT - AND HOW! PART ANVIL?"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...where the flea circus has left town, and the inmates are restless!

''{The audience ooohs as the curtain is lifted, showing a manacled The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gather strong at The Cheat's Flea Prison Riot!

''{As the above words appear, a magnifying glass focuses on The Cheat and zooms in on a tiny prison in his fur, where a number of small black dots are rioting and squabbling. The prison has some flames coming out of the windows, and a siren is heard. Cut back to Strong Bad in front of a curtain reading "Strong Sad - DEE PRESS! DO U DARE?" with an elephant styled to look like Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And don't forget Strong Sad's feet of wonder.

''{The audience ahhhs as the curtain is moved up, revealing Strong Sad in a blue dress with a beard. A paper reading "stupid's stupid crap that I hate" appears for a moment. Strong Sad lifts the dress, revealing his feet, as the audience gasps.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I call them "soolnds".

''{Cut to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And lastly, so ghastly, the ate-thh wonder of the world!

''{Cut to curtain showing "Strong Mad - ATE THH! NECK?"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' House-mouth!!!

''{The curtain lifts, showing Strong Mad in a loincloth. A "HOUSE-MOUTH" logo appears. The audience gasps.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' DAAAAH!! ''{Opens his mouth very wide, taking up most of his body and creating the shape of a house. The audience gasps.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{popping in from the side of the screen}'' This land-locked leviathan conveniently subsists only on outdated electronics!

''{He ducks away as the Compy is thrown in Strong Mad's mouth. He closes his mouth. A second later, he jumps a bit as a sparking sound is heard. Strong Mad gulps it down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{popping in again, and throwing his hat and cane}'' ''We did it!!!'' Lalalalalalalaaaa!

''{The scene again rises like a curtain, revealing the Computer Room. The Lappy is in its place at the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Lappy! You're back...y! You and I have some unfinished business, little lady!

''{Strong Bad sits down. Cut to the Lappy's screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing; anywhere that a comma would be appropriate, a dull tapping sound is heard}'' There ya go Jake-ula. Now all the cliffhangers have been for reallysolved. Okay Lappy I hope your battery's charged ''{music starts}'' cuz I'm finally taking you out for those hush-puppies you always wanted!!!

''{He picks up the Lappy and walks off. Fade to black. Cut to a silhouette of Strong Bad holding the Lappy and walking across the sunset. Ghostly images of the Tandy and Compy appear over his head. The music suddenly stops with a record scratch.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, I coulda sworn one of you guys liked hushpuppies.

''{The Paper comes down, reading "It was me. I like hushpuppies." The music starts again. It eventually stops again with a record scratch.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Changes Between the Two-Part and One-Part Versions===
This email was originally released as a two-parter, and was re-released a week later as a single email called "retirement (combined)". (On October 22, the email was renamed just "retirement".) The following were added or changed from the original:
* The Lappy's comma key is now missing throughout the toon. Originally, the key was present in part A when the Compy and Tandy are holding the Lappy hostage but was missing in part B when Strong Bad gets it back.
* The Tandy's screen now intermittently flashes with static while Strong Bad is checking its email.
* Part A ended with the zoom-in on the Compy 386 (as the suspenseful music played). The Paper came down with a message that read, "To Be Continued Tomorrow!". Part B picked up with Strong Bad sitting at the Compy. When the two parts were combined, The Paper was removed, and a transition in and out of black now splices the two halves.
* Also removed were the "back" link at the end of part A and the "loading" screen at the beginning of part B. This is notable because even though the "back" link was on the Compy, it was written in the Lappy's font, and the "loading" screen on part B was written in the Compy's font.
* Clicking on the Compy's contrast dial creates some sparking effects.
* A gear in the Compy now turns as Strong Bad types.
* An extra scene featuring Strong Sad in Strong Bad's carnival tent was added.
* When Strong Bad attempts to type commas in his closing remarks, commas no longer appear and instead a dull tapping sound is heard.
* An Easter egg featuring the King of Town's act in Strong Bad's carnival tent was added.

===Explanations===
*The explosion following the addition of Mountain Dew and denture tablets to the Tandy 400 is due to the rapid release of carbon dioxide gas from both the carbonated water and the effervescent action of the sodium bicarbonate and citric acid in the tablets, not to be confused with the [[Wikipedia:Mentos eruption|Coke and Mentos]] phenomenon.
*[[Wikipedia:Control-Alt-Delete|Control-Alt-Delete]] is a computer keyboard command on [[Wikipedia:IBM PC compatible|IBM PC compatible]] systems that can be used to close programs or reboot the computer.
*A [[Wikipedia:Hushpuppy|hushpuppy]] is a deep-fried ball of cornmeal commonly eaten in the southern United States.
*Putting a magnet too close to a computer can damage the data stored on [[Wikipedia:Magnetic storage|magnetic storage]], such as [[Wikipedia:Hard disk|hard disks]].
*Structures or people are called the [[Wikipedia:Eighth Wonder of the World|Eighth Wonder of the World]] in order to liken their perceived greatness to the [[Wikipedia:Seven Wonders of the World|Seven Wonders of the Ancient World]].
*[[Wikipedia:Leviathan|Leviathan]] is the name of a sea-monster (perhaps a crocodile) mentioned several times in the [[Wikipedia:Old Testament|Old Testament]]. The word "leviathan" is often used to refer to any large monster or creature.
*[[Wikipedia:Pesto|Pesto]] is an Italian sauce frequently served over pasta. While many variations exist, in its classic form it is made of basil, pine nuts, extra virgin olive oil and pecorino romano cheese.
* Strong Sad is dressed as a [[Wikipedia:Bearded Lady|Bearded Lady]].

===Trivia===
*This email and [[flashback]] are tied for the most Easter eggs in any email to date, with eight. They're second on the site total, tied with [[Halloween Fairstival]] and [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]]. The toon with the most Easter eggs is [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]] with ten.
* At 6:53, this is the longest toon on the site. It beats the previous longest email, [[alternate universe]], by nearly one minute, and the previous longest toon, [[Where's The Cheat?]], by 35 seconds.
*The [[Hanging Objects|portrait]] of Marshie's mother is hung in the same frame as the painting by the Deutsch Master in [[portrait]].
*For the first email, the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#mastertype|mastertype]]". For the second, it reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#silpheed|silpheed]]".
*This is the first Strong Bad Email to feature all three computers.
*This is the first time [[Soolnds|soolnds]] are mentioned out loud.

===Remarks===
[[Image:extra outlet and Lappy plug.png|thumb|120px|The Lappy's tail!]]
*In Marshie's Whodunnit? scene, every main character is visible silhouetted except for [[The Cheat]], [[The Poopsmith]], [[Homsar]] and [[Strong Bad]] himself.
*Strong Bad says that the Lappy's hard drive holds five "[[Wikipedia:Megabyte|megs]]". However, in [[animal]], the Lappy has a "2 MB Hard Drive!".
*During Strong Bad's confrontation with the Tandy and Compy, there are clickable areas on the Lappy's screen, but clicking on them has no effect. This is because the Tandy's contrast buttons are behind the Lappy, and they are disabled in this scene.
*The word "contrast" on Strong Bad's Tandy is in a different font than it was before the Tandy was thrown out. This change was also made for the redone Tandy-era e-mails in [[do over]].
*If you view the Flash file, during the [[Mountain Dew|Mountain Dew]] scene there is an extra electrical outlet outside the black, complete with the Lappy's cord plugged in.
*The three sounds that play on the Tandy when Strong Bad highlights portions of the email come from [[Wikipedia:MacOS|MacOS]]: "Purr", "Sosumi", and "Temple", respectively.
*This is the first time an email has been [[DELETED|deleted]] in the Lappy era (even though it was not deleted on the Lappy itself).
*Strong Bad claims that he is out of potato chips, but some of the bags are partially filled.
*The Tandy and Compy were sold by Bubs to the King of Town ([[King of Town Email]]) and Homestar ([[Broken Compy Menu]]), respectively. Oddly, both denied kidnapping the Lappy in [[cliffhangers]] (Homestar) and [[Missing Lappy]] (King of Town).

[[Image:End 159.PNG|thumb|Slightly less shotgunned]]
*The hole in the Compy is smaller here than it was at the end of [[virus]], making it possible to fit a token amount of legible text onto the screen.
*In the start of the second part, the Compy starts off in "automatic hole format" but when Strong Bad starts typing his reply, some of the written text does not appear on the Compy's screen.
*Strong Mad appears to have no tongue or tonsils.
*Apparently, the cog inside the Compy processes text, yet it was shown spinning while broken at the end of [[virus]].
*The sounds of the fleas on The Cheat sound a lot like The King of Town and Strong Bad's voices sped up when they are saying "Lalalalalala".
*The Paper doesn't have a link to Strong Bad's email address.
*[[The Virus|The viruses]] in the Compy, which affected the outside world in [[virus]], do not return for this email.
*During the email checked with the Tandy, the old animation, (where Strong Bad's mouth moves, as opposed to his head), was used.
*Neither the plug socket or the Compy's cord appear during the Compy email.

===Goofs===
*When the camera zooms in on the box of the King of Town's fizzy denture tablets, the green lines on the Tandy aren't moving.
*Right after Strong Bad deletes the Tandy email, and is about to swing the pickaxe into the keyboard, for a split second, you can hear Homestar saying "deleted", but his mouth doesn't appear to move.
*There is no electrical outlet under the table while Strong Bad is using the Compy.
*While zoomed in on the Compy, Strong Bad's reflection appears over some of the cracks in the Compy's screen.

===Inside References===
*This email follows directly from [[cliffhangers]], where Strong Bad's computer was kidnapped at the end of the email. The dramatic "cliffhanger resolution" music is reused from that email as well. Strong Bad's closing remarks are directed toward Jake, who sent the email featured in cliffhangers.
*This is another appearance of [[Index Cards|index cards]] on the site.
*The phrase "Slink off to Bubs'" is a reference to the spamvertisement Easter egg at the end of [[unused emails]], which stated, "Slink on over to Bubs' Concession Stand..."
*"Now, let's check emails like it was the deuce double-aught dweice!" most likely refers to the fact that in 2002 Strong Bad last checked an email with the Tandy and first checked an email with the Compy.
*The position of Strong Bad's head in front of the Tandy, his reflected mouth on the Tandy's screen, and his lack of head movement are references to his early emails.
*"Number 119, a-deleted" may be a reference to Email #119 ([[animal]]) in which Strong Bad first got the Lappy.
*Two of the items on Strong Bad's Cloud Shape Spotting Log ("strong sad's ghost" and "strong sad's corpse") refer to [[Death#Strong Sad's Imagined Death|Strong Sad's imagined death]].
*Homestar pouring [[Mountain Dew]] into the Tandy is a reference to [[anything]], in which he poured Mountain Dew onto the Compy.
*Strong Bad makes Homsar's walking noise and skitters around like him when he notices the Lappy's cord and is frantically pacing around.
*The Cheat was previously compared with an anvil in [[huttah!]].
*The skeleton image on the Compy's computer is from [[Peasant's Quest]].
*Marzipan's curtain contains another case of [[Lowercase i's]].
*The picture on Strong Mad's curtain resembles the [[Strong Man]]. Interestingly, although the figure in the picture is wearing the Strong Man's outfit, Strong Mad's costume consists of only a loincloth.
*The word "[[Soolnds|soolnds]]", the name that Strong Sad has given his feet, was previously used in [[Strong Sad's Lament]].
*The King of Town's stage name "Clogdor" is written in the same [[Fonts|font]] as [[Trogdor]]'s name on the official T-shirts. (And obviously "Clogdor" is a play on words of "Trogdor".)

===Real-World References===
*When Strong Bad is on the couch, there is a brand of chips called "Flavoured Triangles". This could be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Doritos|Doritos]] or other tortilla corn chips which are triangle-shaped.
*The winged buffalo references the [[Wikipedia:Buffalo Wild Wings|Buffalo Wild Wings]] mascot.
*The [[Wikipedia:Teal (color)|Teal]] Screen of Near Death is a reference to the various colored [[Wikipedia:Category:Screens of death|Screens of death]] used by computer operating systems to indicate serious system errors.

*[[Wikipedia:Dabney Coleman|Dabney Coleman]] is an actor most known for his role in the films ''[[Wikipedia:Nine to Five|Nine to Five]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Tootsie|Tootsie]]''.
*Strong Bad scrambling back and forth underneath the Lappy's cord may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong 3|Donkey Kong 3]], while the music is reminiscent of the game [[Wikipedia:Super Mario Bros. 2|Super Mario Bros. 2]], when the player is fighting a boss.
*[[Wikipedia:Slick Rick|Slick Rick]] was a popular hip-hop artist of the late 1980's and early 1990's.
*"/got nothin'" in the text files is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Fark.com|Fark.com]], where people often end their posts with that remark.
*Homestar pouring Mountain Dew onto the carpet after the destruction of the Tandy may be a reference to the practice of pouring [[Wikipedia:libation|libations]] on the ground to honor the dead. In Strong Bad's case, it can also be used to honor those [[video games|sent up the river]].
*"If it'll save the orphanage..." is most likely a reference to ''[[Wikipedia:The Blues Brothers|The Blues Brothers]]'', in which the brothers put their old band back together in order to save the orphanage in which they were raised.
*Strong Bad's contracted naming of files refers to names often given to files due to [[Wikipedia:8.3|8.3]] naming restrictions present in older [[Wikipedia:File Allocation Table|FAT]] filesystems, although his file names would be too long for these rules.
*"Just walk away, mother" is a reference to the movie ''[[Wikipedia: Psycho (1960 film)|Psycho]]''.

Sweepstakes resemble those used for the 1995 [[Wikipedia:Simpsons|Simpsons]] episode [[Wikipedia:Who Shot Mr. Burns?|Who Shot Mr. Burns?]] contest sponsored by 1-800-COLLECT. That contest also featured silhouettes of the main characters with big question marks over each one, while a voiceover told viewers where to send in their guesses of the guilty party's identity in order to win the grand prize (being animated into an upcoming episode).
*The "horses in IT" joke could be a reference to the British comedy series [[Wikipedia:Little Britain|Little Britain]], which contained a sketch set in a computer shop featuring a [[Wikipedia:horse whisperer|horse whisperer]] asking a horse how to fix a problem with installing Windows XP.

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==
''{Open in Strong Bad's computer room, coming in on a worried Strong Bad, while suspenseful music plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' My computer's been lappynapped!

''{A record scratches and the screen dims, Marshie comes in from the bottom of the screen.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' Hello, Kenneth!

''{Marshie flies across a yellow background.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' Hear me roar!

''{Marshie growls for a moment, then opens his mouth wide, the background turns red, sound lines come out of his mouth, and he meows. Cut to a shot of the Sad Kids standing on top of Marshie.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' That's right, kids!

''{Silhouettes of the main characters scroll across the page, with big question marks over them. As he names the sweepstakes, the name appears on the screen.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' Play the Fluffy Puff Marshmallows ''My Lappy Got Stole!'' Sweepstakes and win big!

''{As Marshie says "big", he grows a large, fat, white body, and his voice deepens. Cut to a shot of a bicycle. Marshie's voice is back to normal.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' First prize,—

''{A shot of a metal detector}''

'''MARSHIE:''' —second tries,—

''{Marshie, in a car, driving along with mountains in the background}''

'''MARSHIE:''' ''{singing}'' Take a trip to the mountains... ''{these words appear above the mountains, written on a musical staff}''

''{The screen dims and Marshie comes down from the top with a top hat and a cane.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' I'm a song and dance man!

''{Cut to a wooden desk, with a note card on it.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' Just email who you think done it on a 3x5 note card,—

''{"it was the HIPPO!" is written on the note card.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' —stick a Fluffy Puff Marshmallow on each corner,—

''{Four marshmallows appear, one stuck on each corner of the card. Cut to Marshie, talking through gritted teeth, in front of a portrait of an older woman.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' —and just walk away, mother...

''{Cut to Strong Bad's basement, looking at the ad on the TV. Marshie is next to a bag of Fluffy Puff Marshmallows.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' Fluffy Puff Marshmallows. Yeah! Still!

''{The words "Yeah! Still!" appear underneath Marshie. Cut to Strong Bad lying on the couch, surrounded by empty chip packets of various descriptions.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You gotta be kidding me. Man, everybody's trying to make a buck or nine off my heart-drooping loss. 

''{He feels around in the nearest bag of chips, and finds that it's empty.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, perfect. Now I'm out of my antidepressant. Nothing dulls the pain quite like several dozen half-full bags of ''{as he lists the flavorings, symbols for them appear at the top of the screen}'' Italian-herb-chipotle-buffalo-ranch-guacamole-Thai-peanut-style chippety-chomps. I guess I'll slink off to Bubs' and refill my prescription. Slinnnk...

''{Strong Bad somehow slides up and over the armrest of the couch, and off screen. Cut to Strong Bad at Bubs' Concession Stand. Bubs is nowhere to be seen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bubs! Hello? Can I get a witness? Bubs? ''{looks around the stand, and screams}''

''{Pan to the side of the stand, we see the Lappy's power cord hanging off the roof. Tense music plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Lappy's tail! I'll save you, Lappy-pie... poo... ''{runs back and forth anxiously, making the Homsar walking noise}'' Just keep your pixels on. Strong Bad's got everything under control-alt-delete.

''{Strong Bad picks up a ladder from behind the stand, and climbs up onto the roof.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Who put you up here— Wha?!?

''{The suspenseful music plays, and reveal the Lappy, with the broken Tandy and the shotgunned Compy. The Tandy is suspending a horseshoe magnet from a fishing rod above the Lappy's keyboard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's my crappier and crappiest computers!

''{Both old computers fizz and spark.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Careful, guys, let's not do anything inappropriate with that magnet... I've got a lot of important text files on that 5 meg hard drive... Now just let the Lappy go, and we can all go out for hushpuppies. You guys still like hushpuppies, don't you?

''{Both old computers fizz and spark a lot.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, fine. hushpuppies are out. For some reason I... I thought you guys liked hushpuppies.

''{Both old computers keep fizzing and sparking. The Tandy also churns its floppy disk drive.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sorry, guys, we're getting nowhere. I don't speak extravagantly broken computer.

''{The Paper comes down, reading "'Sup Strong Bad. I'll help with the translation."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Paper! You're just in time! Find out what they want!

''{The Paper goes back up, and the Compy "talks" for a bit. The Paper comes back down with "They want to come out of retirement..."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Retirement? They didn't retire, I threw them away. Ask them if they mean they want to come out of ''thrown-awayment''.

''{The Paper comes down again, reading "They're not laughing. They each want to check one last email."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Are they joking? Those guys couldn't check an email with the help of sixty horses dressed up as IT professionals!

''{The Tandy lowers the magnet a little, and the Lappy's screen turns on, showing:}''

<blockquote style="background: #06bfad; padding: 30px; width: 25em; margin: 0; border: none">
<div style="border: 1px solid black">
<p style="border-top: 2px solid white; border-left: 2px solid white; border-bottom: 2px solid #999; border-right: 2px solid #999; background: #CCC; color: black; font-size: 150%; text-align: center; line-height: 125%; margin: 0; padding: 0">
<big>Oh, Child!</big> 
It's the Teal Screen 
of Near Death! (TSoND)
</div></blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, okay, okay! I'll do my best. If it'll save the orphanage... I mean, my Lappy, I'll do it. Now, let's check emails like it was the deuce double-aught dweice!

''{Both old computers "talk".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It just means 2002... I... thought it was slick... slick-rick... way to talk...

''{Fade through black to Strong Bad with the Tandy at the email-checking desk. You hear the old typing effect. The Tandy sparks its screen throughout.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Green lines, green, green lines. It's a Strong Bad Email again.

<blockquote class="tandy email">
dearest strong bad 
do you remember the email that you deleted 
the hardest 
sincerly 
josh 
oakland
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "sincerly" as written, and "josh oakland" as "josho kland"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, let's just see here... Zero capitalization...

''{The first letters of each of "dearest", "strong", "bad", "do", "sincerly", "josh" and "oakland" are all briefly highlighted}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Misspelling...

''{The word "sincerly" is briefly highlighted}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lack of punctuation...

''{The blank spaces after "bad", "hardest", "sincerly" and "josh" are all briefly highlighted}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Looks like a winner to me! ''{typing}'' Dearest Josho, I have some good news for you! I DO remember the email that I deleted the hardest. And I'm still remembering it right now!!! ''{stops typing}'' Homestar! Little help please.

''{Zooms out to reveal Homestar pouring a bottle of Mountain Dew into the hole in the side of the Tandy}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'm way ahead of ya, SB.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then, we'll just add some of the King of Town's fizzy denture tablets.

''{Strong Bad holds up a box of [[Oh No You Dent! Denture Tablets]].}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{offscreen}'' Thems is my after-dinner mints!

''{Strong Bad tips several of the tablets into the hole.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{heavy reverb}'' And now if you'd please turn in your hymnals, and join me in singing number 119, a-deleted.

''{Strong Bad hits the keyboard, and the "DELETED!!" screen comes up, with a gothic font. Organ music plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD & HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' Deleted!

''{Strong Bad swings a pickaxe through the keyboard and the desk. The Tandy explodes, and gives off a bad graphics mushroom cloud.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{turns away, falls to his knees and closes his eyes}'' Aaah!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Goodbye, old girl. They'll always say you went out in a blaze of green rectangular glory.

''{Homestar, with one eye still closed, starts pouring Mountain Dew on the carpet. Cut to a closeup of Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right! One down, one to go.

''{Cut to a shot of the shotgunned Compy on the desk. The suspenseful music plays. The screen fades to black.''}

''{Strong Bad is in front of the Compy. Despite the hole, he manages to type "strongbad email.exe".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' There's a big ol' hole inside my email, makin' it hard to cheeeeck...

''{He brings up the email. It is formatted around the hole.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh! Automatic hole formatting! ''{starts reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">
Dear Strong Bad, 
I want to see you perform some amazing 
feats of 
wonder. 
 
Very ser-                     iously, 
Luke S.
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "Double Dear Strong Bad" in place of the first line, and after reading "wonder", he comments "You mean, more amazing than checking an email on this computer?!" In place of the name, he says "Luke South".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, I am very serious too. Serious about the most incredible, tantalizing, pants-defying, mind-googling sights in the whole world!! ''{stops typing}'' Lalalalalalaaaa!

''{Cut back to show the whole computer room. A [[Wikipedia:Boater (hat)|boater hat]] falls on his head and a cane into his hand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ladies and Luke, I give you...

''{The Computer Room rises, as if it were a theater curtain, revealing a carnival tent.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as a sideshow caller}'' Strong Bad's Amazing Feats of Wonder! ''{Strong Bad appears in the foreground}'' Gawk and squawk as I walk and talk like an old-timey sideshow caller, and add "Lalalalalaa" to the end of everything I say lalalalalalaaa!

''{Strong Bad ducks down. Cut to inside the tent.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' First, in our gallery of ocular oddities, is a contortionist with a twist!

''{He moves away, revealing a curtain painted with "MARZiPAN - SHE-TYPE! KA-RAZY?"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Feast your Dust Bowl-ravaged eyes on ''{Curtain lifts, revealing Marzipan with her hair tied up.}'' Marzipan, the Human Woo-man ''{rolls the next "R"}'' Rrrrrotini!

''{A logo for "The Human Woo-man Rotini" appears. Marzipan curls her neck like a spring. The audience makes amazed sounds.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Behold! An ocean of pesto!

''{Green liquid flies in from offscreen and lands on Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's not part of my act!

''{Cut to The King of Town, with some of the green liquid dribbling down from his moustache.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I know! It's a part of ''mine'' lalalalalalalaaa!

''{He sucks in the liquid. Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now, direct your attention to the Pee Wee Stage...

''{Again, Strong Bad moves aside. Now the curtain shows "THE CHEAT - AND HOW! PART ANVIL?"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...where the flea circus has left town, and the inmates are restless!

''{The audience ooohs as the curtain is lifted, showing a manacled The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gather strong at The Cheat's Flea Prison Riot!

''{As the above words appear, a magnifying glass focuses on The Cheat and zooms in on a tiny prison in his fur, where a number of small black dots are rioting and squabbling. The prison has some flames coming out of the windows, and a siren is heard. Cut back to Strong Bad in front of a curtain reading "Strong Sad - DEE PRESS! DO U DARE?" with an elephant styled to look like Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And don't forget Strong Sad's feet of wonder.

''{The audience ahhhs as the curtain is moved up, revealing Strong Sad in a blue dress with a beard. A paper reading "stupid's stupid crap that I hate" appears for a moment. Strong Sad lifts the dress, revealing his feet, as the audience gasps.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I call them "soolnds".

''{Cut to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And lastly, so ghastly, the ate-thh wonder of the world!

''{Cut to curtain showing "Strong Mad - ATE THH! NECK?"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' House-mouth!!!

''{The curtain lifts, showing Strong Mad in a loincloth. A "HOUSE-MOUTH" logo appears. The audience gasps.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' DAAAAH!! ''{Opens his mouth very wide, taking up most of his body and creating the shape of a house. The audience gasps.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{popping in from the side of the screen}'' This land-locked leviathan conveniently subsists only on outdated electronics!

''{He ducks away as the Compy is thrown in Strong Mad's mouth. He closes his mouth. A second later, he jumps a bit as a sparking sound is heard. Strong Mad gulps it down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{popping in again, and throwing his hat and cane}'' ''We did it!!!'' Lalalalalalalaaaa!

''{The scene again rises like a curtain, revealing the Computer Room. The Lappy is in its place at the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Lappy! You're back...y! You and I have some unfinished business, little lady!

''{Strong Bad sits down. Cut to the Lappy's screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing; anywhere that a comma would be appropriate, a dull tapping sound is heard}'' There ya go Jake-ula. Now all the cliffhangers have been for reallysolved. Okay Lappy I hope your battery's charged ''{music starts}'' cuz I'm finally taking you out for those hush-puppies you always wanted!!!

''{He picks up the Lappy and walks off. Fade to black. Cut to a silhouette of Strong Bad holding the Lappy and walking across the sunset. Ghostly images of the Tandy and Compy appear over his head. The music suddenly stops with a record scratch.}''

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' But Strong Bad, I'm hate hushpuppies!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, I coulda sworn one of you guys liked hushpuppies.

''{The Paper comes down, reading "It was me. I like hushpuppies." The music starts again. It eventually stops again with a record scratch.}''

'''FEMALE LAPPY 486:''' Can we please find my toe?

''{Strong Bad stops walking and looks up toward the ghostly images, which speed away upwards.}''

Dear Bakery Thrift Store, 
Whom do you think you are

==Fun Facts==
===Changes Between the Two-Part and One-Part Versions===
This email was originally released as a two-parter, and was re-released a week later as a single email called "retirement (combined)". (On October 22, the email was renamed just "retirement".) The following were added or changed from the original:
* The Lappy's comma key is now missing throughout the toon. Originally, the key was present in part A when the Compy and Tandy are holding the Lappy hostage but was missing in part B when Strong Bad gets it back.
* The Tandy's screen now intermittently flashes with static while Strong Bad is checking its email.
* Part A ended with the zoom-in on the Compy 386 (as the suspenseful music played). The Paper came down with a message that read, "To Be Continued Tomorrow!". Part B picked up with Strong Bad sitting at the Compy. When the two parts were combined, The Paper was removed, and a transition in and out of black now splices the two halves.
* Also removed were the "back" link at the end of part A and the "loading" screen at the beginning of part B. This is notable because even though the "back" link was on the Compy, it was written in the Lappy's font, and the "loading" screen on part B was written in the Compy's font.
* Clicking on the Compy's contrast dial creates some sparking effects.
* A gear in the Compy now turns as Strong Bad types.
* An extra scene featuring Strong Sad in Strong Bad's carnival tent was added.
* When Strong Bad attempts to type commas in his closing remarks, commas no longer appear and instead a dull tapping sound is heard.
* An Easter egg featuring the King of Town's act in Strong Bad's carnival tent was added.

===Explanations===
*The explosion following the addition of Mountain Dew and denture tablets to the Tandy 400 is due to the rapid release of carbon dioxide gas from both the carbonated water and the effervescent action of the sodium bicarbonate and citric acid in the tablets, not to be confused with the [[Wikipedia:Mentos eruption|Coke and Mentos]] phenomenon.
*[[Wikipedia:Control-Alt-Delete|Control-Alt-Delete]] is a computer keyboard command on [[Wikipedia:IBM PC compatible|IBM PC compatible]] systems that can be used to close programs or reboot the computer.
*A [[Wikipedia:Hushpuppy|hushpuppy]] is a deep-fried ball of cornmeal commonly eaten in the southern United States.
*Putting a magnet too close to a computer can damage the data stored on [[Wikipedia:Magnetic storage|magnetic storage]], such as [[Wikipedia:Hard disk|hard disks]].
*Structures or people are called the [[Wikipedia:Eighth Wonder of the World|Eighth Wonder of the World]] in order to liken their perceived greatness to the [[Wikipedia:Seven Wonders of the World|Seven Wonders of the Ancient World]].
*[[Wikipedia:Leviathan|Leviathan]] is the name of a sea-monster (perhaps a crocodile) mentioned several times in the [[Wikipedia:Old Testament|Old Testament]]. The word "leviathan" is often used to refer to any large monster or creature.
*[[Wikipedia:Pesto|Pesto]] is an Italian sauce frequently served over pasta. While many variations exist, in its classic form it is made of basil, pine nuts, extra virgin olive oil and pecorino romano cheese.
* Strong Sad is dressed as a [[Wikipedia:Bearded Lady|Bearded Lady]].

===Trivia===
*This email and [[flashback]] are tied for the most Easter eggs in any email to date, with eight. They're second on the site total, tied with [[Halloween Fairstival]] and [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]]. The toon with the most Easter eggs is [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]] with ten.
* At 6:53, this is the longest toon on the site. It beats the previous longest email, [[alternate universe]], by nearly one minute, and the previous longest toon, [[Where's The Cheat?]], by 35 seconds.
*The [[Hanging Objects|portrait]] of Marshie's mother is hung in the same frame as the painting by the Deutsch Master in [[portrait]].
*For the first email, the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#mastertype|mastertype]]". For the second, it reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#silpheed|silpheed]]".
*This is the first Strong Bad Email to feature all three computers.
*This is the first time [[Soolnds|soolnds]] are mentioned out loud.

===Remarks===
[[Image:extra outlet and Lappy plug.png|thumb|120px|The Lappy's tail!]]
*In Marshie's Whodunnit? scene, every main character is visible silhouetted except for [[The Cheat]], [[The Poopsmith]], [[Homsar]] and [[Strong Bad]] himself.
*Strong Bad says that the Lappy's hard drive holds five "[[Wikipedia:Megabyte|megs]]". However, in [[animal]], the Lappy has a "2 MB Hard Drive!".
*During Strong Bad's confrontation with the Tandy and Compy, there are clickable areas on the Lappy's screen, but clicking on them has no effect. This is because the Tandy's contrast buttons are behind the Lappy, and they are disabled in this scene.
*The word "contrast" on Strong Bad's Tandy is in a different font than it was before the Tandy was thrown out. This change was also made for the redone Tandy-era e-mails in [[do over]].
*If you view the Flash file, during the [[Mountain Dew|Mountain Dew]] scene there is an extra electrical outlet outside the black, complete with the Lappy's cord plugged in.
*The three sounds that play on the Tandy when Strong Bad highlights portions of the email come from [[Wikipedia:MacOS|MacOS]]: "Purr", "Sosumi", and "Temple", respectively.
*This is the first time an email has been [[DELETED|deleted]] in the Lappy era (even though it was not deleted on the Lappy itself).
*Strong Bad claims that he is out of potato chips, but some of the bags are partially filled.
*The Tandy and Compy were sold by Bubs to the King of Town ([[King of Town Email]]) and Homestar ([[Broken Compy Menu]]), respectively. Oddly, both denied kidnapping the Lappy in [[cliffhangers]] (Homestar) and [[Missing Lappy]] (King of Town).

[[Image:End 159.PNG|thumb|Slightly less shotgunned]]
*The hole in the Compy is smaller here than it was at the end of [[virus]], making it possible to fit a token amount of legible text onto the screen.
*In the start of the second part, the Compy starts off in "automatic hole format" but when Strong Bad starts typing his reply, some of the written text does not appear on the Compy's screen.
*Strong Mad appears to have no tongue or tonsils.
*Apparently, the cog inside the Compy processes text, yet it was shown spinning while broken at the end of [[virus]].
*The sounds of the fleas on The Cheat sound a lot like The King of Town and Strong Bad's voices sped up when they are saying "Lalalalalala".
*The Paper doesn't have a link to Strong Bad's email address.
*[[The Virus|The viruses]] in the Compy, which affected the outside world in [[virus]], do not return for this email.
*During the email checked with the Tandy, the old animation, (where Strong Bad's mouth moves, as opposed to his head), was used.
*Neither the plug socket or the Compy's cord appear during the Compy email.

===Goofs===
*When the camera zooms in on the box of the King of Town's fizzy denture tablets, the green lines on the Tandy aren't moving.
*Right after Strong Bad deletes the Tandy email, and is about to swing the pickaxe into the keyboard, for a split second, you can hear Homestar saying "deleted", but his mouth doesn't appear to move.
*There is no electrical outlet under the table while Strong Bad is using the Compy.
*While zoomed in on the Compy, Strong Bad's reflection appears over some of the cracks in the Compy's screen.

===Inside References===
*This email follows directly from [[cliffhangers]], where Strong Bad's computer was kidnapped at the end of the email. The dramatic "cliffhanger resolution" music is reused from that email as well. Strong Bad's closing remarks are directed toward Jake, who sent the email featured in cliffhangers.
*This is another appearance of [[Index Cards|index cards]] on the site.
*The phrase "Slink off to Bubs'" is a reference to the spamvertisement Easter egg at the end of [[unused emails]], which stated, "Slink on over to Bubs' Concession Stand..."
*"Now, let's check emails like it was the deuce double-aught dweice!" most likely refers to the fact that in 2002 Strong Bad last checked an email with the Tandy and first checked an email with the Compy.
*The position of Strong Bad's head in front of the Tandy, his reflected mouth on the Tandy's screen, and his lack of head movement are references to his early emails.
*"Number 119, a-deleted" may be a reference to Email #119 ([[animal]]) in which Strong Bad first got the Lappy.
*Two of the items on Strong Bad's Cloud Shape Spotting Log ("strong sad's ghost" and "strong sad's corpse") refer to [[Death#Strong Sad's Imagined Death|Strong Sad's imagined death]].
*Homestar pouring [[Mountain Dew]] into the Tandy is a reference to [[anything]], in which he poured Mountain Dew onto the Compy.
*Strong Bad makes Homsar's walking noise and skitters around like him when he notices the Lappy's cord and is frantically pacing around.
*The Cheat was previously compared with an anvil in [[huttah!]].
*The skeleton image on the Compy's computer is from [[Peasant's Quest]].
*Marzipan's curtain contains another case of [[Lowercase i's]].

medford, nj</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I'm one step ahead of you, Alex.

''{A book appears on-screen with a black-and-white picture of Strong Bad exploring a cave with a flashlight. The text reads:}''

<pre> CHOOSE YOUR OWN STRONG
BAD EMAIL ADVENTURE

Should Strong Bad really glue Strong Sad's hands to his face?!

If you choose YES turn to page 93

If you choose MAYBE turn to page 121

If you choose to TAKE IT IN A BIT OF A
DIFFERENT DIRECTION turn to page 146</pre>

=== Yes ===

''{Cut to Strong Sad standing on the Athletic Field with his hands glued to his face and a target labeled "Peg Me" painted on his chest.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Guys?! ''{Strong Sad is pelted with dodgeballs.}'' Owww! Oh! Ohw! Augh! Okay, you guys! ''{Another ball is tossed at him.}'' Augh! It's not funny. ''{Another ball is tossed at him.}'' Augh! I'm kinda... ''{Another ball is tossed at him.}'' Augh! ...unable to defend myself. ''{Another 2 balls are tossed at him}'' Oww! Oh! More so than usual. ''{Balls continue to pelt him.}''

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

=== Maybe ===

''{Cut to Strong Sad lying down on his bed, his hands glued to his face.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Augh! I'm blind! My prayers have finally been answered.

''{Strong Sad tries to move his hands.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh wait, my hands are just glued to my face. Oh well, I'll take that.

''{Cut to Strong Bad and The Cheat standing outside Strong Sad's room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, he likes it! Okay, go to plan B!

''{The Cheat salutes him and leaves. He brings back a bucket of red ants and takes it to Strong Sad's room.}''

''{The Paper comes down. One red ant crawls out of Strong Sad's room.}''

=== Take it in a bit of a different direction ===

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Though I decided to take it in a bit of a different direction.

''{Cut to Strong Sad standing in the Field with his hands glued to his butt. Homestar walks up to him.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, hohoh... Oh, hey, Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Er, Strong Sad. Why are you touching your buttocks? That's pretty weird.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I can't help it!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, that is ''really'' weird.

''{Homestar walks away and Bubs walks up.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, wait, you don't understand!

'''BUBS:''' Grabbing your butt? That's not very ladylike.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'm not a lady.

'''BUBS:''' Oh! Whatever.

''{Bubs walks away and Strong Bad walks up}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Augh, this is getting frustrating!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, Strong Sad. Fancy seeing you here! And uncontrollably grabbing your own butt, I see. Oh, don't let me get in the way. Carry on!

''{Strong Bad snickers and walks away. Coach Z walks past.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Wait, come back!

'''COACH Z:''' 'Attaboy, Strong Sad.

''{Coach Z walks away}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Hey, where are you going? You have any solvent? Or Goof Off? Or Didi Seven? Somebody get my hands off my butt!

''{The Paper comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==

*If you choose "YES", after Strong Sad gets hit with dodgeballs, you can click the target on his belly to play the [[Peg Strong Sad]] game.


== Fun Facts ==

===Trivia===
*When this email was first released, the extra choices weren't available; instead it immediately progressed to the "different direction" bit (which is why it's the only choice that continues with Strong Bad still typing). The choices were added a few weeks later.
*This was, until [[rock opera]], the only email to have an "again" option at the end, allowing for easier access to the un-selected choices.
*This was the first email to be over 2 minutes in length.
*This is the first appearance of Bubs in a Strong Bad E-mail.


===Remarks===
*When the book allowing you to chose your options comes up, you can still click the contrast buttons.

===Real-World References===
*This email is a reference to/satire of the [[Wikipedia:Choose Your Own Adventure|Choose Your Own Adventure]] series of children's books created by [[Wikipedia:Edward Packard|Edward Packard]], in which the reader controls the direction of the story by choosing from a number of options, and is then redirected to a page much further away.
*In the book's picture, Strong Bad is in a cave, which has nothing to do with this email, but is a classic example of the type of illustrations found in the Choose Your Own Adventure books.
*[http://www.interwood.com/a/p/didi/DidiDetails.shtml Didi Seven] and [http://www.valspar.com/val/resident/goof-off.jsp Goof-Off] are real-world cleaning solvents.

===Fast Forward===
*Strong Sad's (a.k.a. [[Anonymous]]'s) hands were glued to his butt at the beginning of [[rock opera]].
*[[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]] would offer similar "Choose Your Own Adventure" features throughout the toon.

==DVD Version==
*The DVD Version has the Peg Strong Sad game removed, because of obvious technical limitations.

[[Image:sbemail110.png|thumb|right|"Okay, kids, we're gonna play ''Where's The Cheat!''"]]

Allison wonders what a Strong Bad television series for kids would be like.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|Rather Dashing}}, {{Film|Kerrek}}, {{Film|The Cheat}}, {{Film|Homsar}}, {{Film|The King of Town}} (Easter egg)

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]]

{{Comp|Compy 386}}

'''Date:''' August 9, 2004

'''Running Time:''' 3:24

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

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Four}}

== Transcript ==
''{We see Strong Bad at the Compy 386 playing ''Peasant's Quest''. He has a score of -38 and is in the area with Kerrek.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, let's see here... ''{typing}'' Make friends with Kerrek.

''{A message pops up. It reads, "The Kerrek says he has enough friends already. And he doesn't like your short, short pants." His score also drops to -40.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the!? ''(presses enter}'' Um... ''{typing}'' Buy Kerrek a cold one.

''{Kerrek smashes him on the head. There is another message. It reads, "The Kerrek is a teetotaller and is offended by your offer. He pounds your head into the ground. You dead." His score also drops to -45.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' WHAT?! Oh man... Stupid game! ''{types "quit." A message says, "You quitter."}'' I guess I should do the thing... that I do. ''{pulls up the a> sign and types "strongbad_email.exe"}'' ''{Reading}''

<blockquote class="email">Coolest guy ever - - - Strong Bad, 
I've been wondering if you ever 
thought of making your own television 
series? Kids everywhere would love 
you, and your awesomeness. 
 
Allison , NJ</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "- - -" as "henna henna henna". After reading the greeting, he says, "Whoa! Three hennas! Must be an important one!" After the comma in the last sentence, he says "unnecessary comma," and he pronounces "Allison" as "All is on"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Television?!! Kids?!! Wait, do you people think I'm intended for children? Like, the littlest, tiniest babies? You know, they watch those shows on public television. I don't think I'm cut out for that sort of sugarjob.

''{Cut to a piece of yellow paper of the sort used to teach kindergartners writing. Strong Bad is superimposed on it with a rocket launcher/bazooka, a monster with horns, a bunny with fangs, and a creature that resembles a man sticking its tongue out drawn in crayon around him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Smiling beatifically}'' Okay, kids, we're gonna play "Where's The Cheat?". Can you say, "a-The Cheat"?

'''KIDS:''' ''{half incoherent}'' The Cheat. ''{one child mumbles}'' Christopher Columbus.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Not good enough. F minus minus.

''{"F--" appears on the screen. The [[DELETED]] [[Sound Effects|buzzer]] is heard. Cut back to Strong Bad. Behind him are a tree and an open box. A toilet is in front of him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, dumb children. ''{rubs his hands together}'' Find The Cheat!

''{The Cheat comes out from behind the box.}''

'''KIDS:''' ''{say things like "He's over there," or "Right there." They continue saying this.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um, no, he's behind the box. ''{Turns around and points to The Cheat}'' No, uh, he's not even ''behind'' the box, he's ''barely obscured'' by the box. ''{turns around}'' Look, ''The Cheat is behind the freaking box!!''

''{Kids stop talking and the music soundtrack screeches to a halt accompanied by a record scratch. Strong Bad breathes heavily, then comes closer to the viewer, and starts screaming manically}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''HE'S BEHIND THE BOX! I'LL KILL YOU!! I'LL KILL ALL YOUR DOGS''!!

''{Cut back via a change of TV channels to Strong Bad at the Compy 386}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, you can see how that might be less than pleasant. What with all the letter writing and the angry mothers and the subsequent stringing me up in town square for all to see. But you know who's a natural for that sorta thing? None other than America's favorite blue midget Homestar: Homsar!!

''{Cut to an all-white scene. Homsar comes through a faraway door. He walks closer to the viewer and stops.}''

'''KIDS:''' Whaddaya know, Haddi-man?

''{As the words are sung, they are shown one by one at the bottom of the viewer's screen. A caricature of Homsar rides by from right to left in a boat with a flag. The background is light green, with white, yellow, purple and green flowers spinning counter-clockwise. His shirt says "if you lived here you'd be home"}''

'''MAN:''' We'll have an adventure, and several long trips. We'll make some new friends—

''{Smiling, multi-ethnic children appear behind Homsar as he sails left off the screen}''

'''MAN:''' —and maybe get a bite to eat!!!

''{An orange with "abc" on it appears. Seven Homsar silhouettes now fan like a hand of cards from left to right, and then disappear in reverse order.}''

'''MAN:''' All 'cause we say...

''{A red silhouette of Homsar with the flag from the boat appears. White liquid spills onto the screen. A logo that says '''"Whaddaya Know Haddi-man?"''' with a second caricature of Homsar on it appears.}''

'''KIDS:''' Whaddaya know, Haddi-man?

''{The real Homsar pops up on the left side of the screen in the lower left corner.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' DaAaAaA! I'm a trendy tote bag!

''{Cut to a tan scene. Homsar disappears and reappears in various places, accompanied by raspberry noises. When he stops in the left half of the foreground, a blue lower case "g" appears beside him.}''

'''KIDS:''' A "G"!

'''HOMSAR''': I'm not gonna lie to you, that's a healthy piece of real estate!

'''KIDS:''' A "G"!

''{Cut to a purple background with a seated, mustachioed man playing a guitar. As the words are sung, they appear on the screen.}''

'''MAN:''' Stave it off, 1-2-3, and now you can count to three.

'''HOMSAR:''' That's a real popular song! Who wants to hear of it fifty times more?

'''KIDS''': ''{shouts of approval}''

''{Cut to the previous screen. Now we see two of the guitar-playing people, one in a darker shade superimposed behind the other. Again, as the words are sung, they appear on the screen.}''

'''MAN:''' Stave it off, 1-2-3, and now you can count to three.

''{The darker shaded guitarist is suddenly upside-down, and the song is repeated as are the words on the screen.}''

'''MAN:''' Stave it off, 1-2-3, and now you can count to three.

''{Cut back to the Compy via a channel change.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Good gravy. ''{Spoken: GOOD... GRAVY.}'' I've got two words for the children that are raised on that crap: HELD BACK. REPEATING THE THIRD GRADE. LOW STANDARDIZED TEST SCORES. I GUESS THIS WAS MORE THAN TWO WORDS. THE PAPER, PLEASE TAKE US HOME.

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

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end, click on the words "good gravy" to see the King of Town's new food product.
[[Image:kot-gravy.png|thumb|The KOT's Good Gravy]]
<blockquote>the KOT's 
Good 
GRAVY 
"I don't lets the 
Poopsmith near it!" 
104 oz.</blockquote>
*Also at the end, click "crap" to see a CD jewel case and hear a sample of [[All Is On]]'s album:
<blockquote>ALL IS ON!!! 
Mega Hits!! 
PARTY MIX!</blockquote>
<blockquote>(on spine) Songs We Found On The Street</blockquote>
:'''SINGER:''' All is on... feel it, feel it, feel it, feel it...

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*A person who practices total abstinence from alcoholic beverages is called a [[wikipedia:Teetotaler|teetotaller]].

===Remarks===
*The [[Peasant's Quest Responses|commands]] Strong Bad uses in [[Peasant's Quest]] were not originally part of the game but were added after this email debuted.
**Typing "make friends with kerrek" results in the message "Look, it didn't work for Strongbad ''[sic]'' and it's not gonna work for you either."
**Typing "buy kerrek a cold one" results in the message "The Kerrek is a teetotaller and is offended by your request. You've really cheesed him off now." Also, the Kerrek begins moving twice as fast.
*It is impossible to get a negative score in the real game, despite Strong Bad's miserable showing.
*In [[Peasant's Quest Preview]], it is said the maximum requirements for [[Peasant's Quest]] are a 286 CGA enabled PC. The Compy, judging by its name, contains a 386 processor.
*The positions of the crayon graphics in the first scene are all rearranged when the scene zooms in on SB's face.
*If the "Stave it off" song were really looped 50 times (including the pause heard in the email) it would last for 6 minutes, 10 seconds.
*As Homsar says the word "trendy," his hat changes in size; first larger, then smaller, then back to normal.

===Goofs===
*When Homsar talks after the lowercase "[[G|g]]" shows up (complete with various head movements and hat flyings, as per usual), his shadow stays still.

===Glitches===
*When Strong Bad is playing Peasant's Quest, the Contrast knob has no effect on any of the black text on the screen except for the game messages (i.e. "You quitter.").

===Inside References===
*The sounds that Homsar makes when he opens the door is the same sound when the door closes in The House That Gave Sucky Treats.
*This is an instance of one speaking of [[Killing Dogs|killing someone's dog]].

===Real-World References===
*The fake show hosted by Strong Bad is a spoof of many children's shows; the kids heard shouting the answers to Strong Bad's questions are taken from the show [[Wikipedia:Blue's Clues|Blue's Clues]]. Strong Bad's show is actually a strange reversal of Blue's Clues; in Blue's Clues the kids know all the answers to the questions asked but the host is completely clueless.
*The way Homsar enters and walks closer to the viewer is from the British kids' show [[Wikipedia:Bod (television)|"Bod"]]. This is likely, as [[The Brothers Chaps]] have claimed that [http://www.retrocrush.com/homestar/index2.html Bod was one of their influences.]
*The noise Homsar makes when he teleports around are similar to noises on the [[PBS]] show [[Wikipedia:Boohbah|Boohbah]].
*The Guitar Playing Man bears a striking [[Wikipedia:Gorilla_%28album%29|resemblance]] to folk singer [[Wikipedia:James Taylor|James Taylor]]. Taylor has made numerous appearances on the children's TV program [[Wikipedia:Sesame Street|Sesame Street]], often singing educational songs.
**He also bears a resemblance to [[Wikipedia:Fred Penner|Fred Penner]] and [[Wikipedia:Jim Croce|Jim Croce]].
*Homsar asking the kids if they want to "hear of (the song) 50 times more" may be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:British Broadcasting Corporation|BBC]] show [[Wikipedia:Teletubbies|Teletubbies]], in which whenever a "real-life" clip is shown, it is always repeated per request of the Teletubbies.
*The "letter of the day" feature in Homsar's show is reminiscent of [[Wikipedia:Sesame Street|Sesame Street]], which ends each show with the mock sponsorship, "Sesame Street was brought to you ... by the letter __!"
*The bunny with fangs on the first Strong Bad kids show scene may be a refrence to Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

===Fast Forward===
*The "[[All Is On]]" song from this email is used again in the Easter egg for [[extra plug]].
*The words "Stave it off, 1, 2, 3..." were used again in the email [[virus]].
*[[Whaddaya Know, Haddi-Man?]] is heard in the background in [[secret identity]].
*Part of the song played in the "Where's the Cheat?" part of the sbemail is heard in the [[Very, Very Little Girl]] Easter egg in [[Summer Short Shorts]].

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

===Commentary Transcript===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]], [[Ryan Sterritt]] '''on guitar''')

''{Ryan’s guitar playing throughout the commentary}''

'''MATT:''' You’re listening to the smooth, sultry, sounds of the Strong Bad DVD commentary.

'''RYAN:''' Dim the lights, Matt. Who’s on lights? Matt are you on lights?

'''MIKE:''' I know one thing for sure.

'''MATT:''' What’s that, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Ryan Sterrit’s on the guitar right now.

'''RYAN:''' ''{over Mike}'' Oooooohhhhhhhh yyyyyyeeeeeaaaaaahhh.

'''MATT:''' What’s that Ryan?

'''RYAN:''' Hey um— re— re—

'''MIKE:''' ''{over Ryan}'' Make it sing. Make it sing.

'''RYAN:''' Regarding the P— the Peasant’s Quest thing we— or— before the email or just after we went back and added the phrases.

'''MATT:''' ''{over Ryan}'' Those two commands.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, into the game.

'''RYAN:''' Yes.

'''MIKE:''' Oh.

'''MATT:''' And you’d get the same responses, right?

'''RYAN:''' Y— something like that. Something similar.

'''MATT:''' Or maybe— no.

'''MIKE:''' Oh no, that’s right.

'''RYAN:''' ''{yelling}'' Check— Try— Try it out at home.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''RYAN:''' Find out yourselves.

'''MATT:''' Give it a shot.

'''RYAN:''' I’m sorry. I’m not being sufficiently jazzy in my role.

'''MATT:''' No! We’re all err—

'''MIKE:''' Hey it’s all good. It’s all hot.

'''MATT:''' Everything— we’re all a family here at Strong Bad Email. This is a little technique I used to make look like crayon drawing Flash it’s the— it’s the stippled stroke. There’s a stroke in your stroke tool all you Flash animators at home.

'''MIKE:''' Stroke.

'''MATT:''' It looks sort of like pebbles. Just do several different layers of it and maybe cut and paste the same layer, move it up a little bit. Instant crayon.

'''MIKE:''' ''{imitating child in the email}'' Christopher Columbus!

'''RYAN:''' Wait— wait, this is where Strong Bad gets violent.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah this is gonna be good contrast to— here...

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I don’t think— I don’t think I wanna watch this part.

'''MIKE:''' Strong Bad! Calm down, man!

'''MATT:''' You need to cool out, Strong Bad.

'''RYAN:''' Does he say, "I’ll kill all you dogs"?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''RYAN:''' Or "all your dolls?"

'''MIKE AND MATT:''' Dogs.

'''RYAN:''' That’s what I thought he said.

'''MATT:''' He’s ang— he’s angry. It’s a little rough. There’s some kids at home who I don’t think could handle that.

'''RYAN:''' Yeah. It’s like— it’s like the new Star Wars episodes. Not suitable for children.

'''MATT:''' That’s what I hear. The world’s most childish...

'''MIKE:''' Hey Ryan. How ‘bout some more finger picking. ''{Ryan plays a little more}'' Thank you. That’s ''nice''.

'''MATT:''' This is a, uh— this is a sweet intro I think to Homsar’s show.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. I really wanna make this show, or at least watch it. I don’t want to make it. I wanna watch it.

'''RYAN:''' I like the, um, the construction paper appearance in this.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Those kids and that orange— that orange I wanna snack on.

'''MIKE:''' Those kids are diverse.

'''MATT:''' They are! ''{talks over Mike}'' They’re from all over the world, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' ''{talks over Matt}'' There’s some diversity in those kids.

'''MATT:''' Haddi-man is accepting of all cultures.

''{short pause}''

'''MIKE:''' And fart noises.

''{all laugh}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' I wonder—

'''RYAN:''' —like a— statistical analysis on the number of, uh, fart noises or toilets or something like that delay this 1:30.

'''MATT:''' ''Is'' there?

'''RYAN:''' I don’t know. There’s the toilet and the claymation thing that— there’s probably a lot! Not that you guys resort to—

'''MATT:''' Who’s uncle? That’s— that’s Ryan right now. Looks just like that guy.

'''MIKE:''' He does! His legs crossed like that!

'''MATT:''' He’s got his legs crossed, tapping one foot.

'''MIKE:''' You need to put some socks on underneath your flip-flops.

''{short pause}''

'''MATT:''' Me! Me! Me! Me! That’s my favorite kid that’s in the background—

'''RYAN:''' Is he wearing sandals and socks?

'''MIKE:''' I don’t think he is, but I always sort of interpreted those weird lines around his foot as that.

'''RYAN:''' Hey guys, I’m sorry if I was implying that you guys do a lot of potty humor.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. We’re gonna cut this out— we’re gonna cut you out of the DVD.

''{all laugh}''

'''RYAN:''' But, I’m not in the DVD.

'''MATT:''' You ''are'' in the DVD actually.

'''MIKE:''' You are cut out!

'''MATT:''' Umm—

'''RYAN:''' Nothing to cut.

''{short pause}''

'''RYAN:''' Keep it going. Keep it going, bro.

'''MATT:''' Keep it going. Low standardized test scores—

'''MIKE:''' How long does—

'''MATT: ''' Let’s keep our standardized test scores low this evening, ladies and gentlemen.

'''RYAN:''' Test scores—

'''MATT:''' The Paper— Ryan, take us home.

''{Ryan’s guitar playing until the end}''

===Fun Facts===
*The comment that the new [[Wikipedia:Star Wars|Star Wars]] episodes are not suitable for children refers to the fact that the latest episode, [[Wikipedia:Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith|Revenge of the Sith]], was rated [[Wikipedia:MPAA film rating system|PG-13]], whereas all previous Star Wars movies were rated PG.

{{aboutemail}} {{for|list of all Homestar Runner games|Games}}

'''STRONG BAD:''' Email is like a prison. A prison with no walls... and no toilet.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hey Strong Bad, 
 
I was just wondering what you would 
be like in a video game and what it 
would be like. 
 
From, 
Taylor R. 
Queen Creek, AZ</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "AZ" as "Alcatraz."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa. Somebody on the inside. ''{shakes head}'' Get out soon, Taylor. ''{typing}'' What would I be like in a video game? Well, that all depends on what system we're talking about. Like, if it was on one of those really old machines...

''{Cut to Atari 2600-style game, with an empty green rectangle imposed on a black screen.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...the graphics would probably only look ''kinda'' like me.

''{A red square appears representing Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And I'd run all around a futuristic maze—

''{The square starts moving around the screen and some green blocks and blue glowing barriers appear.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —collecting things that look ''nothing like'' me.

''{A yellow square the same size as Strong Bad's square appears in the centre of the maze.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Man, that'd be pretty awesome!

''{The red square approaches the yellow square and touches it, thereby "collecting" it. The words "secret collect!" appear on the screen. Cut back to the Compy 386.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Ooh! Ooh! I could also be in one of those 3-D vector games.

''{Cut to screen of said game. A corridor ending with a wall is outlined in red. Some moving arrows appear on the walls on either side.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And there'd be this awesome, huge, 3-D version of my head floatin' around.

''{A vectorized version of Strong Bad's head appears on the screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Like, it looks so awesome, girls would probably try to make out with the screen

''{Lipstick lips appear on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' and we'd have to program it to be like:

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD''': BACK OFF BABY

''{As it speaks the words appear on the screen, then fall down and disappear.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And in this one, the player wouldn't control me...

''{Cut to Strong Bad at the Compy, shaking the camera}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 'CUZ YOU CAN'T CONTROL ''ME!!''

''{Cut back to the vector game.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Instead, you'd be some kinda 3-D shield guy with a shield...

''{A generic-looking guy with a shield appears on the bottom of the screen.}'''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Some kind of ''spikey''-headed 3-D cyber-shield guy... with a cyber-shield.

''{The appropriate changes are made so the shield guy is now spikey-headed and holding a striped "cyber-shield."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And you'd have to block my perplexing 3-D geometric attacks, or face ''certain 3-D doom''!

''{Vector Strong Bad spits out a rhombus, which the cyber-shield guy blocks. Vector Strong Bad spits another rhombus, and this one hits the cyber-shield carrier in the face, causing it to explode.}''

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD''': YOUR HEAD A SPLODE

''{Again, the words appear on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Naturally, there'd be some problems with bad translation.

''{Cut back to Compy 386.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' On the other hand, it might be cool to be in one of those text-based adventures. You know, for those intellectual people with better imaginations.

''{Cut to a black screen with a green arrow at the top.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' It'd be like...

''{reading text}''

<blockquote class="tandy email" style="background-image:none">Ye find yeself in yon dungeon. Ye see a FLASK 
Obvious exits are NORTH, SOUTH, and DENNIS. 
 
What wouldst thou deau?</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad doesn't say the last sentence.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And you'd be all like...

<blockquote class="short tandy email" style="background-image:none">Get ye flask</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And it'd say,

<blockquote class="short tandy email" style="background-image:none">You can't get ye flask!</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And you'd just have to sit there and imagine ''why on Earth'' you can't get ye flask! Because the game's certainly not going to tell you.

''{At this the screen adds "I'm certainly not going to tell thou."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And there's no precious graphics to help you out, either!

''{At this the screen adds "Graphics, shmaphics." and a few seconds later, " . . for sooth!" Cut back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But oh, man. The best thing ever would be if I was in one of those brand new super-photorealistic games that take like tons of migs and megs of memories just to play it.

''{Cut to a blue screen. A 16-bit version of Strong Bad appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I'd look super-cool, runnin' around on some grass, maybe.

''{The background changes to a 16-bit field against a blue sky.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Where there'd be like, um... a rhino there, too.

''{A rhino falls down from the sky and some music starts playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' A ''hungry'' rhino!

''{A food bowl appears in front of the rhino and it starts whining, jumping and turning red. Strong Bad runs around.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And I'd have to, I guess... feed him.

''{A box labeled "FOOD" appears. Strong Bad brings it to the rhino's bowl and it calms down, eating the food.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And, umm... snakes?

''{Snakes pop up, wriggling up and down the screen. The rhino charges. Cut back to Compy 386.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So hopefully one day technology will catch up with my advanced thinking, so all the ladies can start making out with their TV screens.

''{Strong Bad stops typing; he turns around as he continues talking}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Until next time, Taylor, this one's for you, and all my peoples got sent up the river.

''{He pours his [[Cold One]] on the floor.}''

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. After about five seconds, the four games appear in their boxes.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*If you wait a few seconds at the end, you see the box art for the four games. They are: ''[[StrongBadZone]]'', ''[[RhinoFeeder]]'', ''[[Thy Dungeonman]]'', and ''[[Secret Collect]]''. Clicking on one will give you a closer image and (if JavaScript is enabled) a pop-up of the game itself.

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*Strong Bad's statement about bad translation of ''StrongBadZone'' is a reference to the ubiquitous bad translation of Japanese-made [[Nintendo|NES]]-era games, the most infamous of which gave rise to the phrase, "[[Wikipedia:All your base are belong to us|All your base are belong to us]]," which was from the arcade game ''[[Wikipedia:Zero Wing|Zero Wing]]''.
*When Strong Bad says "migs and megs of memories," he's talking about [[Wikipedia:Megabyte|megabytes]] of computer memory.
*When Strong Bad mistakes Arizona for Alcatraz and says "Whoa... Somebody on the inside," he is talking about the famous jail on [[Wikipedia:Alcatraz Island|Alcatraz Island]] (which actually hasn't been in use since 1963).
*Secret Collect is for the [[FunMachine]], while Rhino Feeder is for the Super FunMachine. The names of these systems are most likely references to the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] and [[Wikipedia:Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super NES]], respectively.
**However, the jump in graphics quality between the two games is more a reference to the graphics advances between the [[Atari 2600]] and its successors, the [[Wikipedia:Atari 5200|Atari 5200]] and [[Wikipedia:Atari 7800|7800]].

=== Trivia ===
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#bio menace|bio menace]]".
*Originally you could play the four games by clicking on them at the end of email. This has been changed as they are now accessible from the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu]].

===Remarks===
*When Strong Bad says "YOU CAN'T CONTROL ME!" and he shakes the camera, you can still change the contrast on the computer.
*The ''StrongBadZone'' game contains the "BACK OFF BABY!" sequence, though it's only accessible with a [http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/flash.html seek bar].
*Although this email was supposed to be about if Strong Bad was in a video game, ''Thy Dungeonman'' has nothing to do with him at all.
*Strong Bad mispronounces the word "ye" in "You can't get [[ye flask]]!" When "ye" is used as an article, it is properly pronounced as "the."
*Strong Bad mentions that you can't control him, yet you play as him in Rhino Feeder and in Secret Collect. You also get to play as him in the Egg Throwing Game, Fishing Challenge '91, and Strong Bad's Treat Snatcha.
*Although Strong Bad says "YOU CAN'T CONTROL ME!", two games, Rhino Feeder and Secret Collect, have you contolling Strong Bad.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Video games a prompt goof.png|thumb|Oops!]]
*When Strong Bad pours the drink out for Taylor, you can see all of the dust left over from the [[army|last email]], though it was not visible in the rest of the email.
*When Strong Bad clears the screen after reading the email, the a> covers the text above for one frame.
*When Strong Bad shakes the camera after saying "BECAUSE YOU CAN'T CONTROL ME!", look closely at the top of the Compy and you can see a thin white line above it.

===Real-World References===
*Strong Bad's intro is possibly a reference to Pete Rose's book, "My Prison Without Bars," which was released the week before this email.
*The graphics in ''StrongBadZone'' closely resemble [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Virtual Boy|Virtual Boy]] games that used vector graphics, such as [[Wikipedia:Red Alarm|''Red Alarm'']]. The Virtual Boy used only black, and three shades of red. See the [[#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]] below for several other titles that [[The Brothers Chaps]] liken it to.
*When Strong Bad pours the Cold One on the carpet at the end, it is a reference to the modern gangsta practice of pouring out a 40-ounce beer "for my dead homies."

===Fast Forward===
*''StrongBadZone'' is featured in [[Main Page 21]], the vector graphics page, which resembles the arcade game ''BattleZone''.
**The phrase "[[A Splode]]" is used several times later on.
*[[Ye Flask]] appears again in [[Thy Dungeonman]], [[Thy Dungeonman II]], and [[Thy Dungeonman 3]]
*Even though game text says "graphics shmaphics", they added graphics for [[Thy Dungeonman 3]].

== DVD Version ==
*You obviously can't play any of the four games. As well, the game boxes don't automatically come up. Instead, you must access them via the hidden Strong Bad Icon on the Compy 386 screen.
**For the DVD, the Easter egg consists of samples of music from each game in turn.
*Strong Bad's Cold One continues pouring after The Paper comes down.
*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]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''MATT:''' So this is an email we've been getting since probably the first week that we did Strong Bad Emails.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, and—

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Remember when we—

'''MIKE:''' For whatever reason, we always shied away from it.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' And then, for whatever reason, we just came up with the idea.

'''MATT:''' This was like the Japanese cartoon one, we got that a lot.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Sometimes it just clicks when you read it and some, you just think of a good idea and sometimes you think of bad ideas, like maybe we'll get a really good idea for how to answer the "How do you type with boxing gloves?" email. Dark... dark night.

'''MATT:''' Umm—

'''MIKE:''' So our friend, uhhh, and, uhh—

'''MATT:''' Collaborator.

'''MIKE:''' Compat-compatriot. ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Contemporary.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Jonathan Howe, we, uhh, I don't know—he threw all these together in, like, three or four days, maybe.

'''MATT:''' Less than that, probably, yeah, we told him—

'''MIKE:''' Hey, we had done it early in the—

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' —when we were doing this e-mail.

'''MIKE:''' I mean like midweek, probably. Tuesday or Wednesday, we, uhh—

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Those are really good-looking kissy lips.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks, man.

'''MATT:''' I like that.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Jiggles the camera.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, he gets really close up to it.

'''MIKE:''' Umm, so this is, y'know, like a vector game, like Tempest—

'''MATT:''' Battlezone.

'''MIKE:''' Battlezone... yeah.

'''MATT:''' The original Star Wars game.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Ohh... there you go.

'''MIKE:''' He said, "Your head a splode".

'''MATT:''' I think we were gonna make it ori—if you, when you killed him, he said, "My head splow up". ''{Mike laughs}'' That was the other thing he was going to say. Umm, so yeah, we figured if we were going to do the, uh, this is all sort of—comes from Mike and I if we ever to make a video game—

'''MIKE:''' Don't tell 'em.

'''MATT:''' Never mind.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Nu-huh—

'''MATT:''' ''{slightly more insistently}'' Never mind.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' We're not going to tell you.

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' I'm gonna need you all to sign a non-disclosure agreement before I reveal this. Umm, so this is sort of, uhh... I remember... what was it called? Vampire, I think, was one of the text games I played earlier on, and that's what had parapets in it. Was the first thing that—

'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah, I remember parapets, yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' And I had no idea what para-I remember, like, getting the dictionary out and, because, I thought that would, like, when I'd fin-found out what parapets meant—

'''MIKE:''' That was how you won the game.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, then—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' That was like— ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' I would like, it was like the key to it, and I'm just like, "What? It's just like a wall, tower in a castle?" Umm... ''{long pause}'' That rhino looks great, too, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks, Matt.

'''MATT:''' I think that noise, the noise the rhino makes ''{Mike laughs}'' is just that string on a key—on the synthesizer. There's like, it's supposed to sound like strings of a guitar, like when you're sliding your fingers down, yeah, so are the snakes, and they're just really slow ones and really fast ones. Fret—fret noises, that's what I'm—

'''MIKE:''' Fret magic.

'''MATT:''' Fret magic, really, magazine. Bio Menace, that was a Psygnosis game.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, with, uh, what was the other one?

'''MATT:''' ''{menacingly}'' Blood Money.

'''MIKE:''' Blood Money.

===Fun Facts===
*[[Wikipedia:Tempest (game)|Tempest]] and [[Wikipedia:Battlezone|Battlezone]] are arcade games from 1980. They were famous for their colored vector graphics, which were very innovative for their time. "The original Star Wars game" probably refers to [[Wikipedia:Star Wars (arcade game)|Star Wars]], the arcade game from 1983, which also features color vector graphics.

== Transcript ==

''{Marzipan walks through the field, which is sprinkled with leaves. A clock reading "8:13 pm" briefly rises from the bottom of the screen before disappearing; however, the sun is clearly still out. Strong Bad hides behind The Stick wearing a red witch's hat and mask.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Half-singing}'' Do do-doo doo, lotsa leaves, do do-doo hmm...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Jumps out from behind The Stick}'' Grody bloody gross and blood!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Bored}'' Eh, nice try, Strong Bad. I'm just not feeling it in broad daylight. And, you were hiding behind a twig.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I know. Why isn't it dark yet?

''{Cut to Homestar, dressed as a newsboy and holding up a newspaper. As he says each line, he holds up a different newspaper with a front-page headline matching what he's saying.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Extrie, extrie! Read all about it! Halloween Night missing! Citizens mobilize to save holiday! In unrelated news, this newsboy get-up is not my Halloween costume!

''{Closeup of The Local Newspapes. It has a picture of two pumpkins, the headline reads, "Happy Hallow-Day!", and the subtitle reads, "These ARE the opening credits!"}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad's Basement. Strong Bad and The Cheat are on the couch. Strong Mad is standing behind it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Hits the newspaper he's holding}'' This is bull-tonk! How are we supposed to scandalize and vandalize without the protective cover of Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-Halloween night?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm gonna go interrogate the toilet for about eight minutes. See if he knows anything. After that, we'll form into a giant robotic Halloween Night-finding space panther! ''{Walks off. Strong Mad and The Cheat look confused. Strong Bad pops his head back in the frame.}'' Or not.

''{Cut to the field with Homestar, Pom Pom, and Strong Sad. The clock appears again and reads "11:18 pm".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Halloween Niiiight! Come here, boy! ''{Whistles and brings out a chew toy that looks like a brain with a bolt and eyeball sticking out of it. He squeaks it while talking.}'' I got this spooky, yucky chew toy for ya! ''{Whistles}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Homestar, you are aware that Halloween Night is not a puppy, aren't you?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{In a laughing voice}'' Ye-heh-hes! ''{Whistles}'' Obviously! I am...! Aware...! That it is not...! What was that last part?

'''STRONG SAD:''' A puppy.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...A puppy!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Okay, good. ''{A yellow glow appears in the upper left corner of the screen, and grows brighter as Strong Sad talks}'' But seriously, we have to find Halloween Night. ''{Eerie music plays.}'' I don't do so well with all this sunlight! ''{Strong Sad looks toward the menacing sunlight.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{while rapidly changing his position}'' Sit, Halloween Night, Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit sit-sit!

''{Strong Sad and Pom Pom slowly back away, then run off. Homestar whistles again.}''

''{Cut to Marzipan on a different part of the field. Marzipan is playing a reggae rhythm on Carol. Coach Z enters.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, whatcha doing there, sista?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Stops playing}'' I'm trying to attract Halloween Night with music. ''{Starts playing again}'' It loves reggae, you know! ''{Stops playing}''

'''COACH Z:''' Good idear! And I can do some of my famous Halloween sound effects that everybody knows me for!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Coach Z, I don't think that's what everybody knows you for.

'''COACH Z:''' What are ya torkin' abort? Listen to this spooky owl! Hort! Hort hooort! Hort hort! Or get a load of these creepy crackets! Cracket! Cracket-dadadadadadada! ''{Marzipan starts playing again}'' Cracket-dadadadada!

'''MARZIPAN:''' We be jammin'! ''{Stops playing, with a vibra-slap sound}''

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. The clock appears for a moment reading "12:09 am" before disappearing. Music plays in the background}''

'''BUBS:''' What is wrong with you people? ''{Holds up a can of black spray paint}'' I got instant spray-on Halloween Night! ''{Sprays can, throws it behind him and holds up black opaque shades with orange frames}'' I got Halloween Night vision goggles! ''{throws glasses behind him and pulls out a "Hollerin' Jimmy's Hovercraft Kit". The words "Hollerin' Jimmy's" have been covered with a piece of masking tape with "Halloween Night" written on it}'' I even got this do-it-yourself Halloween Night hovercraft kit!

''{Cut through static to Spooky Woods with Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat. The trees are covered in yellow flowers.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw man, I thought sure we'd find Halloween Night in the spooky woods! This place has really gone uphill since it disappeared. Even that rotten old skull doesn't seem so creepy.

'''THE SKULL:''' ''{Rainbow afro sprouts from head}'' A-jam on it!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good thinkin' Monchhicheat! That guy's always hanging out with Halloween Night! But how do we find him?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Triumphant the Cheat noises}''

''{The Cheat pulls out a keyboard and plays the Goblin's organ jingle. The Goblin appears, wearing swim trunks and sunglasses.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's this crap-cake? Where's Halloween Night? Strong Mad, pat him down! ''{Strong Mad picks up The Goblin by his feet and shakes him. Several coins, a pencil, some lint, and a hamster ball fall out.}'' Aw, he's clean. I'm taking that hamster ball, though.

''{Cut to outside The King of Town's Castle with Strong Sad, Pom Pom, The King of Town, and The Poopsmith. The clock reads "2:38 am" before disappearing.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Cough it up, King of Town! We know you ate Halloween Night!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' You amateurs! You don't know what you're talking about. I'm on a diet! ''{The Poopsmith nods his head}'' It's strictly Arbor Day and Earth Day for me this year! ''{The Poopsmith nods his head.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well now where do we look? I need some doom and gloom soon. ''{Starting to laugh}'' Something funny is happening to the sides of my mouth...! ''{The corners of his mouth wiggle and turn upward, creating weird noises.}''

''{Scene changes to Homestar, making a box trap at The Stick. The trap involves a trail of candies with orange and black wrappers leading to a cardboard box placed over The Stick.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Homestar Runner, you are a genius! ''{Turns around}'' Thank you, Doug. ''{Turns back around}'' So tell us what you're doing here. ''{Turns around}'' Well, it occurred to me that no Halloween Night could resist these orange and black flavored loose tooth remover candies. ''{Holds up and shakes two orange and black candies before dropping them.}''

'''COACH Z:''' How are they biting today, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sound Effects Man! Ooo-ooo! Do broken wheelchair. On cobblestone!

'''COACH Z:''' Wah-Dlah! Wee-Dlah! Wah-Dlah! Wee-Dlah! Wee-Dlah! ''{Continues making sound effects during Homestar's next line.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's like I'm right there, wheeling Grandma through the old town. Do you want to stop in here and get a kielbasa, Grandma?

''{Cut to the field with Marzipan, Strong Sad and Pom Pom. Strong Mad, Strong Bad and The Cheat walk in. Strong Sad's mouth is still wiggling. The clock reads "5:42 am" and disappears.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Laughing}'' Somebody shoot me.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, this sucks. Halloween Night's almost over and still no sign of Halloween Night. We should be out there turning treats right now!

''{Marzipan walks in.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, you guys didn't have any luck either? Oh well, Happy Halloween anyways everybody. ''{The scene suddenly darkens.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Say that again!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Say what? Happy Halloween? ''{The scene darkens some more.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now somebody else say it!

'''COACH Z:''' Horpy Horlaw— ''{The scene gets brighter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Covers Coach Z's mouth.}'' Not you, Coach Z. Now, everybody, all at the same time!

'''EVERYONE:''' ''{except Coach Z}'' HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

''{The words "HAPPY HALLOWEEN!" appear at the bottom of the screen. The scene darkens into night. Crickets can be heard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, yes it worked! I'm gonna egg so many candies and eat so much houses. I'm gonna—

''{A rooster crows and the sun abruptly comes up. Birds start singing.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So, uh... what do we do now?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ummm...

'''EVERYONE:''' HAPPY DAY OF THE DEAD!

''{The words "HAPPY DAY OF THE DEAD!" appear at the bottom of the screen. Cut to the end screen, with a Mexican-style skull of Homestar, wearing a sombrero, while a reggae beat plays, ending with a vibraslap.}''

''{Cut to the final shot, where all of the characters stand in their costumes.}''

==Easter Eggs==
* As with other Halloween cartoons, click on the Poopsmith's head (after the King of Town says "this year") to see Homsar. (He will also appear in the end scene, but he doesn't have a separate Easter egg.)
*: ''{Homsar is standing beside a pile of newspapers similar to those Homestar is seen with during the toon intro. He is holding up one of the papers to display the headline "EGGS TREE! EGGS TREE!", and a tree growing eggs as fruit can be seen behind him.}''
*: '''HOMSAR''': Eggs tree, eggs tree! This get-up is mah get down! ''{his head sinks into his neck, leaving an empty space}''
* At the end, click on Strong Bad:
*: '''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sta-rong. Bad. That's the best Evil Carmen Sandiego costume I've ever seen!
*: '''STRONG BAD:''' If I wasn't dressed up as a pretend priest-comedian, I'd beat the crap outta you right now.
* At the end, click on Marzipan:
*: '''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Marzipan, I just ''love'' your "I-have-a-caterpillar-crawling-across-my forehead" costume! And kind of a mustache...have..costume...
* At the end, click on The Cheat:
*: '''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, The Cheat, technically shouldn't all this sunlight be turning you into some sort of horrible beastie?
*: '''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Covers eyes, The Cheat noises sounding similar to Gizmo's line "Bright lights! Bright lights!"}''
* At the end, click on Strong Sad:
*: '''STRONG BAD:''' 'At's a good costume, Strong Sad. What is that, you at your twenty-year high school reunion?

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Kielbasa|Kielbasa]] is a type of Polish sausage.
*The [[Wikipedia:Day of the Dead|Day of the Dead]] is a celebration of the memory of deceased ancestors which is celebrated on November 1st and November 2nd in Mexico. Its art and themes also feature prominently in Frida Kahlo's work. It is also known as [[Wikipedia:All Saints Day|All Saints Day]] or All Hallows Day. The night before, All Hallows Eve, is the basis for the term Halloween.

===Remarks===
*If you view the Flash file in a Decompiler or use the Flash Seekbar bookmarklet, it reveals that the stack of newspapers on the Loading screen reads "[[News Articles|Eggs Tree! Eggs Tree!]]", which is the same newspaper Homsar holds up in his scene.
**When Homestar holds up the "In Unrelated News" newspaper, the stack next to him also reads "Eggs Tree! Eggs Tree!"

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Two}}

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh! Check it out! Another one of those...sbemails!

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hey Strong Bad, 
I was wondering what you do with the 
emails that don't get showed on the 
weekly email. 
 
Dan Chase, 
Aurora, Illinois</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad stops and says "Hey!" after reading "Hey Strong Bad," and pronounces Illinois as "Illi-nwah" (in other words, with a French accent)}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh... ''{typing}'' Wha-hoah, Dan. You mean what do I do with the thousands and ''thousands'' of near unreadable emails I get every day? I like to mix it up!

''{Cut to The Cheat carrying some papers, organizing them into huge stacks}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Sometimes I give them to The Cheat for filing. And archiving.

''{The Cheat sticks an email in the Medium category. Strong Bad sticks his head in the screen.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' No man, that's a short.

''{The Cheat shrugs, and attempts to retrieve the email, but is too short to reach the top of the pile. Cut to Strong Bad and Bubs standing at the stick, facing away from each other. Strong Bad has a CD labeled "The Goods", Bubs has a bag of cash labeled "The Payoff".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Or if I'm strapped for cash, I'll sell the email addresses to Bubs for use in his free weekly spamvertisements.

''{Strong Bad drops the CD}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oops! Lookit that! I dropped a CD of five-thousand email addresses!

''{Bubs throws the bag of money on the ground}''

'''BUBS:''' Whoops! I dropped a quarter for each one!

''{Cut to Strong Mad crumpling up papers}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And sometimes I give them to my big brother Strong Mad, for the Japanese art of paper-folding.

''{Strong Bad walks on screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, how are your origamis? Is that one the crane?

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{holds up one crumpled ball of paper}'' THIS IS A LOTUS FLOWER! ''{holds up another}'' THIS IS A PRAYING MANTIS!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah, that's great, man. ''{sniffs}'' Incredible likeness.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad in front of the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But mostly the emails I don't use just get... ''{stops typing and stands up, backing up slowly}'' A-digga...a-digga...a-digga-digga...a-digga...a-diggity... ''{starts running back toward the desk}'' DIGGITY DIGGITY DIGGITY DIGGITY A-DELETEEEEEED!!!!!! ''{jumps and does an elbow drop on the keyboard, breaking the desk in half.}''

<blockquote class="compy email" style="background:#003893; text-align:center">DELETED!!</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohhhhh...I think I broke my clavicus...majorus.

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

*Here are the unused emails which appear in this toon:

please kill hamesturrunner please PLEASE PLEASE
PLEASE.
Bye bye.</pre>
:*Strong Mad's stack:
<pre>Dear, Strong Bad
Do you enloy reasing?</pre>

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*"It happened to my roommate" in the spam Easter egg probably refers to [[Wikipedia:Chain letter|chain letters]], and the fact that most chain letters involve some type of miracle happening, as well as saying "It happened to ''this person''," as well as the fact of forwarding it to 50 people in order for it "to happen to you."

===Trivia===
*The quarters that Bubs gives Strong Bad in exchange for the email addresses total $1,250 ($0.25 × 5,000), and would weigh 62.5 lbs.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#friendly ware|friendly ware]]".

===Remarks===
*Since Strong Bad clearly reads his emails on-screen using "strongbad_email.exe," it's curious as to why he would print out the bad ones before giving the pages to Strong Mad for his origami.
*When The Cheat is filing the emails into short, medium, and tall stacks, the paper is regular copy paper. Apparently, these emails were not printed using Strong Bad's dot matrix printer of [[The Paper]] fame.
*This is the first time we see Strong Bad with CDs. His computer, however, probably doesn't have a drive capable of burning CDs.
*There is a gap/small skip between "give them to my" and "big brother Strong Mad", hinting that [[The Brothers Chaps]] used two takes, and spliced them together.
*Although Strong Bad deletes the email, it can still be seen on the screen afterwards.
*The e-mail address bubs@homestarrunner.com does not exist.
*Illinois was originally founded by the French, so the pronunciation is legitimate.
*The a> prompt is missing from the back button.

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad breaks the table in half, the legs don't move. Unless the wooden legs have unusually flexible joints, the legs should have slanted at the same angle as the broken halves.
*On the Spamvertisement Easter Egg, you can still click on the paper or the text on the Compy's screen through the email window.

===Inside References===
*According to commentary on the [[strongbad_email.exe|DVD]], the "clavicus... majorus" line was originally to be used in the unfinished toon [[Tis True, Pom Pom, Tis True]].
*When Strong Bad runs toward the computer he passes the same door and window about four times, as in [[gimmicks]], when the [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] explodes.
*This marks the second time in which Strong Bad pronounces a word with a heavy French accent ("Illinois" = "Illi-nwah"). The first time was in [[3 Wishes]] when he pronounces "croissants" in the same way (this is also later revisited in [[action figure]], when Strong Bad describes the Chinese Throwing Croissants).
*One of the unused emails in the Short Stack (Easter Egg) reads, in part: "you are stupid and have an ugly butt". This is based on a song in [[Strong Bad Sings]].

===Real-World References===
*The email address the Weekly Spamvertisement is directed to (squealydee678@kindergartencop.edu), a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Arnold Schwarzenegger|Arnold Schwarzenegger]] film [[Wikipedia:Kindergarten Cop|Kindergarten Cop]].
*"Clavicus" is a play on the [[Wikipedia:clavicle|clavicle]] (also known as the collar bone).
**The word ''majorus'' doesn't actually exist in [[Wikipedia:Latin|Latin]]: the form of the adjective ''major'' that agrees with an ''-us'' ending such as ''clavicus'' is simply ''major''. The similar sounding ''majoris'' does exist, though, but only when used as a possessive.
*The background when Strong Bad is running to his computer is used in most cartoon shows during a chasing scene (eg. The Flintstones), where the hallway is very long and has repeating animation, such as a door or a window.

===Fast Forward===
*The "Digga-Digga-Digga... [[DELETED]]!" line is (almost) used again in [[car]].
*An email address ending in "kindergartencop.edu" also shows up in [[technology]].

The Movie Theater

DarkAlex — Tue, 06 Mar 2007 23:53:29 GMT

DarkAlex:

[[Image:cinema.png|thumb|right|220px|A Clockwork Coach]]

'''The Movie Theater''' is where movies are watched, sometimes by force. [[Pom Pom]] and [[Homestar Runner]] brought [[Coach Z]] here to watch a movie about the word "job" in the toon [[A Jorb Well Done]]. [[Wikipedia:Tom Servo|Tom Servo]] from ''[[Wikipedia:Mystery Science Theater 3000|Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' is also present.

This is a popular date destination as seen in the email "[[montage]]," where [[Strong Bad]] and the [[Wagon Fulla Pancakes]] enjoy a film together.

This theater is the modern equivalent of [[The Old Movie Reel Room]] of the [[Old-Timey]] era.

[[Image:the movies Strong Bad Senor Cardgage.png|left|thumb|220px|"Good efening, Bontilda. Forty-twone will be on your lest."]]
The movie theater is featured prominently in [[the movies]]. Here, it is revealed that [[Senor Cardgage]] has a job as the ticket-taker. [[Strong Bad]] also describes the different types of people who attend the movies: the "genius who can't resist answering the oh-so-challenging film trivia slides they show before the movie" ([[Coach Z]]); the "guy who insists on rattling off the complete filmographies of each of the actors" ([[Strong Sad]]); the "guy sitting next to you munching popcorn" ([[The Cheat]]); the person who "regularly sneak[s] in their own all-you-can-eat fajitas" ([[The King of Town]]); and the "little girl behind [him] who wouldn't shut up" ([[Homestar Runner]]). Here, it is also revealed that the theater requests that all [[Strong Bad's Bazooka|bazookas]] be turned off before the film.

The featured movies playing at the movie theater include ''[[King Bubsgonzola Supreme]]'' and ''[[dangeresque 3|Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]]'', although the latter has no determined release date.

'''Date:''' June 30, 2003

'''Running Time:''' 2:13

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

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Two}}

== Transcript ==
''{Open to Compy 386; Strong Bad is absent. Homestar Runner strolls in and sits down at the computer.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hello, class. Strong Bad could not be here today, so I will be filling in. My name is ''{slowly}'' Homestar Runner.

''{He writes his name on the screen with a piece of chalk, then erases it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Everyone please take out paper and a number 2 pencil, and we'll begin.

''{Homestar types "sb_enail.com", rather than the usual "strongbad_email.exe", to run the e-mail program, and strangely enough, it works.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Lesson one:

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">hi Strong Bad, 
have you ever made anything out of anything? 
bye 
Dan from FL</blockquote>

''{After reading "Strong Bad," Homestar angrily regards the screen and says, "Um, I do believe I just told you my name is Homestar Runner. But I'll let it slide this time." He then continues reading and pronounces "FL" as the letters "F" and "L".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{typing}'' FL?''{again as "F" and "L"}'' Far-off Lands? Foreign Leadership Camp? Fish Lake? ''{stops typing}'' Oh, I got it. He's from Fish Lake. ''{clears screen, resumes typing}'' Well, Jerome, I once made a birthday present for Marzipan out of some of my old CD's I didn't like anymore and placed them in a decorative bag. ''{stops typing, clears screen}'' And then ''{resumes typing}'' I once made breakfast out of cold pizza and half and half. Oh! And one time I made a whole set of coasters out of—

''{cut to some glasses of melonade sitting on game cartridges}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' —some old Sega tapes. And I made a pair of shoes—

''{Cut to Coach Z and Strong Sad out in the field talking. Strong Sad has a Foreign Leadership Camp '91 T-shirt on. Homestar walks on wearing shoe-boxes for shoes.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{continues in voiceover}'' —out of a pair of shoe boxes.

'''COACH Z:''' Whoa, those are some fresh kicks there, Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, I know! ''{walks off}''

'''COACH Z:''' So anyways, Reg had the ball at the top o' the key.

''{Cut back to the Compy}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{typing}'' But this week, I will instruct you on how to make a wet computer out of Strong Bad's computer.

''{The Cheat walks on in a red outfit, but is instantly knocked offscreen when Homestar stands up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' First, you need a 2-liter bottle of Mountain Dew. ''{produces a bottle of Mountain Dew from behind his back}'' Then get Strong Bad's computer. Apply liberally.

''{Homestar starts pouring Mountain Dew on Strong Bad's keyboard, a ringing noise is heard.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oops, we're out of time.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' That's just my egg-timer!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Class dismissed! ''{glaring at the screen angrily}'' Except for you, Jerome!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. Homestar twitches a little. The Mountain Dew continues to be poured onto Strong Bad's keyboard. After about 13 seconds, Homestar resumes talking.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Dang. This thing's like... the never-ending soda. ''{sings}'' Never-ending so-oda! A-a-a, a-a-a, a-a-a...

''{The sound fades out, but the soda continues pouring from the bottle indefinitely.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:Fish Lake.PNG|thumb|Home of this fish]]
*Click on the words "Fish Lake" to see a postcard from there.
*To see the wonderful CD collection Homestar gave [[Marzipan]], click on "CD."

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:COM file|.com]] is one of the filename extensions for [[Wikipedia:MS-DOS|MS-DOS]] programs (a slightly different format from the [[Wikipedia:EXE|.exe]] used by the usual <code>strongbad_email.exe</code>), although it could just be Homestar confusing Strong Bad's Email Program program with a URL.

===Trivia===
*This is the first email in which Strong Bad is nowhere to be found.
*This is the first appearance of [[Mountain Dew]]. It had been previously mentioned, but not seen, in [[techno]].
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#id 7th guest|7th guest]]".
*If you wait a while, the keyboard will start sparking and Homestar will comment on (and sing about) "the never-ending soda."

===Remarks===

*The area of carpet underneath the keyboard gradually darkens while Mountain Dew drips on it.
*Homestar shows us his fickle side by first forgiving the email's author for "forgetting" his name then forcing him to stay when "class" is dismissed.

===Goofs===
*When Homestar writes on the Compy's screen, the chalk and eraser have no reflections.
*When Strong Sad is wearing the "Foreign Leadership Camp '91" shirt, his belly-button has disappeared.
*When Homestar clears the screen after typing "Fish Lake," you can see the "a>" prompt escape from the top of the Compy screen.
*When poured onto the keyboard, the Mountain Dew appears to be a green liquid. In real life, Mountain Dew is yellow; it just comes in a green bottle.
*Homestar's reflection remains the same when the monitor's contrast is adjusted.
*The first time Homestar says "Strong Bad," it is spoken without his usual speech impediment. The impediment returns for the rest of the e-mail, however.

===Inside References===
*The names of the "Sega tapes" are actually the following [[Videlectrix]] games: [[Pigs on Head]], [[Shploitz!]], and [[QWERTY]]. The one that says just "Space" could be "[[Spaceshipper]]", also a Videlectrix game.
*Coach Z's line, "Reg had the ball at the top of the key," is a direct quote from Strong Bad's [[autobiography]] tape.
*[[Far Off Lands]] is a reference to [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD]], where they travel through this area.
*This is another mention of [[Pizza]].
*One of the shoe boxes on Homestar's feet is from [[Freshley's]].
*This email is another reference to [[Kicking The Cheat|kicking The Cheat]].

===Real-World References===
[[Image:Cpep.JPG|thumb|Sgt. Cheatar]]
*"Never-ending Soda" is a reference to the [http://users.pandora.be/soundtrack-fm/Reviews/Klaus_Doldinger/neverending_story/neverending_story.htm theme song] of the 1984 fantasy movie [[IMDB:tt0088323|The NeverEnding Story]].
*The Cheat is wearing [[Wikipedia:George Harrison|George Harrison's]] costume from [[The Beatles]] album [[Wikipedia:Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band|Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band]].
*The "[[Sega Tapes]]" are actually the [[Wikipedia:cartridge (electronics)|cartridges]] used in the [[Wikipedia:Sega Genesis|Sega Genesis]], a console released in 1989 by [[Wikipedia:Sega|Sega]], which was launched during the 16-bit era of gaming. The generic brown labels on the cartridges, however, pass more of a resemblance to the ones used on the 8-bit [[Wikipedia:Sega Master System|Sega Master System]] predecessor.
**"Tape" is a somewhat common misnomer for "[[Wikipedia:cartridge (electronics)|cartridge]]" referring to cartridges' resemblance to [[Wikipedia:Compact audio cassette|cassette tapes]], which were also used in the 8-bit era for data storage (see also [[Wikipedia:Datassette|Commodore Datassette]], [http://www.atarimuseum.com/computers/8bits/400800/410/410.html Atari 410 Program Recorder]) and at the same time for mass-produced music albums. Cartridges used with video game systems like the Genesis and Master System contain semiconductor-based [[Wikipedia:Read-only memory|ROM]] chips for data storage rather than spools of [[Wikipedia:magnetic tape|magnetic tape]], so they are not actually tapes.
*[[Wikipedia:Fish Lake|Fish Lake]] is the name of a township in Minnesota. It is also the name of a lake in central Utah.

===Fast Forward===
*[[Jerome]] later pops up as a misbehaving kid on the [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]] version of the [[Strong Badia National Anthem]].
*When [[The Cheat's Head Exploding|The Cheat's head explodes]] in [[couch patch]], Homestar asks whether he had ever poured Mountain Dew over the Compy.
*The Freshley's shoebox Homestar wears reappears in the email [[time capsule]].
*In [[retirement]], Homestar and Strong Bad pour Mountain Dew and denture tablets into the [[Tandy 400]], causing it to [[Explosions|explode]].

== DVD Version ==
*The Fish Lake and "Old People Music" CD eggs are still viewable using the angle button on your DVD remote.
*The DVD version features hidden audio commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, this one is a travesty.

'''MIKE:''' But, you're not even in this e-mail, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know, which automatically makes it a travesty.

'''MIKE:''' It's your arch-nemesis, Homestar Runner.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know, it's hard, aww, look the way he's treating the Compy, like how could you do that to it? Oh.

'''MIKE:''' At least he erased it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, but he screwed up the monitor, there was smudgies on it for a while. I had to buy those special clothies.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Maybe, you know.

'''MIKE:''' I got some special clothies.

''{Strong Bad makes a sound effect}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's the sound they make when you're rubbing it down.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, okay so where were you when this was going on?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, I mean, I think.

'''MIKE:''' I mean Monday mornings, you know Monday mornings.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, but I...

'''MIKE:''' Wait, you listen to me. You're supposed to check your e-mail Monday mornings, sometimes Monday afternoons, occasionally Tuesday mornings.

'''STRONG BAD:''' One or two times Wednesday.

'''MIKE:''' Right, so where were you? What happened to you?

'''STRONG BAD:''' This was one of those Wednesday times. Planning on doing it on a Wednesday. Shanghaied.

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I got, look at all those Sega tapes.

'''MIKE:''' Are those yours?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Those are my Sega tapes.

'''MIKE:''' I figured they were.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar never got to figure out how to work the Genesis.

'''MIKE:''' Are those Freshley shoes that you wear? Your wrestling boots?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, Freshleys are aptly named.

''{Mike laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''STRONG BAD:''' About the freshest shoes you can imagine. They're freshly made. Oh, The Cheat, that was, see The Cheat was coming over, that was practice that day. Cause we were gonna...

'''MIKE:''' Why was he dressed up like somebody from Sergeant Pepper's?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Cause we were gonna do our Beatles cover band for that Wednesday e-mail, and then it got Shanghai'd.

'''MIKE:''' Look at, look at what's going on here.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, this I have a hard time looking at too. Look at all that wasted soda.

'''MIKE:''' So you don't care about your keyboard?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that keyboard was disgusting anyway, man. Have your keyboard upside down and like shook it? There's like, I had a rat one time fall out of my keyboard.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, really?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I should do that, I haven't done that in a while.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You should be careful. Get this guy out of here.

'''MIKE:''' I think it's almost over.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I mean look at him.

== Transcript ==
''{Open to Compy 386; Strong Bad is absent. Homestar Runner strolls in and sits down at the computer.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hello, class. Strong Bad could not be here today, so I will be filling in. My name is ''{slowly}'' Homestar Runner.

''{He writes his name on the screen with a piece of chalk, then erases it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Everyone please take out paper and a number 2 pencil, and we'll begin.

''{Homestar types "sb_enail.com", rather than the usual "strongbad_email.exe", to run the e-mail program, and strangely enough, it works.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Lesson one:

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">hi Strong Bad, 
have you ever made anything out of anything? 
bye 
Dan from FL</blockquote>

''{After reading "Strong Bad," Homestar angrily regards the screen and says, "Um, I do believe I just told you my name is Homestar Runner. But I'll let it slide this time." He then continues reading and pronounces "FL" as the letters "F" and "L".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{typing}'' FL?''{again as "F" and "L"}'' Far-off Lands? Foreign Leadership Camp? Fish Lake? ''{stops typing}'' Oh, I got it. He's from Fish Lake. ''{clears screen, resumes typing}'' Well, Jerome, I once made a birthday present for Marzipan out of some of my old CD's I didn't like anymore and placed them in a decorative bag. ''{stops typing, clears screen}'' And then ''{resumes typing}'' I once made breakfast out of cold pizza and half and half. Oh! And one time I made a whole set of coasters out of—

''{cut to some glasses of melonade sitting on game cartridges}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' —some old Sega tapes. And I made a pair of shoes—

''{Cut to Coach Z and Strong Sad out in the field talking. Strong Sad has a Foreign Leadership Camp '91 T-shirt on. Homestar walks on wearing shoe-boxes for shoes.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{continues in voiceover}'' —out of a pair of shoe boxes.

'''COACH Z:''' Whoa, those are some fresh kicks there, Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, I know! ''{walks off}''

'''COACH Z:''' So anyways, Reg had the ball at the top o' the key.

''{Cut back to the Compy}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{typing}'' But this week, I will instruct you on how to make a wet computer out of Strong Bad's computer.

''{The Cheat walks on in a red outfit, but is instantly knocked offscreen when Homestar stands up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' First, you need a 2-liter bottle of Mountain Dew. ''{produces a bottle of Mountain Dew from behind his back}'' Then get Strong Bad's computer. Apply liberally.

''{Homestar starts pouring Mountain Dew on Strong Bad's keyboard, a ringing noise is heard.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oops, we're out of time.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' That's just my egg-timer!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Class dismissed! ''{glaring at the screen angrily}'' Except for you, Jerome!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. Homestar twitches a little. The Mountain Dew continues to be poured onto Strong Bad's keyboard. After about 13 seconds, Homestar resumes talking.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Dang. This thing's like... the never-ending soda. ''{sings}'' Never-ending so-oda! A-a-a, a-a-a, a-a-a...

''{The sound fades out, but the soda continues pouring from the bottle indefinitely.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:Fish Lake.PNG|thumb|Home of this fish]]
*Click on the words "Fish Lake" to see a postcard from there.
*To see the wonderful CD collection Homestar gave [[Marzipan]], click on "CD."

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:COM file|.com]] is one of the filename extensions for [[Wikipedia:MS-DOS|MS-DOS]] programs (a slightly different format from the [[Wikipedia:EXE|.exe]] used by the usual <code>strongbad_email.exe</code>), although it could just be Homestar confusing Strong Bad's Email Program program with a URL.

===Trivia===
*This is the first email in which Strong Bad is nowhere to be found.
*This is the first appearance of [[Mountain Dew]]. It had been previously mentioned, but not seen, in [[techno]].
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#id 7th guest|7th guest]]".
*If you wait a while, the keyboard will start sparking and Homestar will comment (and sing about) "the never-ending soda."

===Remarks===

*The area of carpet underneath the keyboard gradually darkens while Mountain Dew drips on it.
*Homestar shows us his fickle side by first forgiving the email's author for "forgetting" his name then forcing him to stay when "class" is dismissed.

===Goofs===
*When Homestar writes on the Compy's screen, the chalk and eraser have no reflections.
*When Strong Sad is wearing the "Foreign Leadership Camp '91" shirt, his belly-button has disappeared.
*When Homestar clears the screen after typing "Fish Lake," you can see the "a>" prompt escape from the top of the Compy screen.
*When poured onto the keyboard, the Mountain Dew appears to be a green liquid. In real life, Mountain Dew is yellow; it just comes in a green bottle.
*Homestar's reflection remains the same when the monitor's contrast is adjusted.
*The first time Homestar says "Strong Bad," it is spoken without his usual speech impediment. The impediment returns for the rest of the e-mail, however.

===Inside References===
*The names of the "Sega tapes" are actually the following [[Videlectrix]] games: [[Pigs on Head]], [[Shploitz!]], and [[QWERTY]]. The one that says just "Space" could be "[[Spaceshipper]]", also a Videlectrix game.
*Coach Z's line, "Reg had the ball at the top of the key," is a direct quote from Strong Bad's [[autobiography]] tape.
*[[Far Off Lands]] is a reference to [[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD]], where they travel through this area.
*This is another mention of [[Pizza]].
*One of the shoe boxes on Homestar's feet is from [[Freshley's]].
*This email is another reference to [[Kicking The Cheat|kicking The Cheat]].

===Real-World References===
[[Image:Cpep.JPG|thumb|Sgt. Cheatar]]
*"Never-ending Soda" is a reference to the [http://users.pandora.be/soundtrack-fm/Reviews/Klaus_Doldinger/neverending_story/neverending_story.htm theme song] of the 1984 fantasy movie [[IMDB:tt0088323|The NeverEnding Story]].
*The Cheat is wearing [[Wikipedia:George Harrison|George Harrison's]] costume from [[The Beatles]] album [[Wikipedia:Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band|Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band]].
*The "[[Sega Tapes]]" are actually the [[Wikipedia:cartridge (electronics)|cartridges]] used in the [[Wikipedia:Sega Genesis|Sega Genesis]], a console released in 1989 by [[Wikipedia:Sega|Sega]], which was launched during the 16-bit era of gaming. The generic brown labels on the cartridges, however, pass more of a resemblance to the ones used on the 8-bit [[Wikipedia:Sega Master System|Sega Master System]] predecessor.
**"Tape" is a somewhat common misnomer for "[[Wikipedia:cartridge (electronics)|cartridge]]" referring to cartridges' resemblance to [[Wikipedia:Compact audio cassette|cassette tapes]], which were also used in the 8-bit era for data storage (see also [[Wikipedia:Datassette|Commodore Datassette]], [http://www.atarimuseum.com/computers/8bits/400800/410/410.html Atari 410 Program Recorder]) and at the same time for mass-produced music albums. Cartridges used with video game systems like the Genesis and Master System contain semiconductor-based [[Wikipedia:Read-only memory|ROM]] chips for data storage rather than spools of [[Wikipedia:magnetic tape|magnetic tape]], so they are not actually tapes.
*[[Wikipedia:Fish Lake|Fish Lake]] is the name of a township in Minnesota. It is also the name of a lake in central Utah.

===Fast Forward===
*[[Jerome]] later pops up as a misbehaving kid on the [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]] version of the [[Strong Badia National Anthem]].
*When [[The Cheat's Head Exploding|The Cheat's head explodes]] in [[couch patch]], Homestar asks whether he had ever poured Mountain Dew over the Compy.
*The Freshley's shoebox Homestar wears reappears in the email [[time capsule]].
*In [[retirement]], Homestar and Strong Bad pour Mountain Dew and denture tablets into the [[Tandy 400]], causing it to [[Explosions|explode]].

== DVD Version ==
*The Fish Lake and "Old People Music" CD eggs are still viewable using the angle button on your DVD remote.
*The DVD version features hidden audio commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, this one is a travesty.

'''MIKE:''' But, you're not even in this e-mail, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know, which automatically makes it a travesty.

'''MIKE:''' It's your arch-nemesis, Homestar Runner.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know, it's hard, aww, look the way he's treating the Compy, like how could you do that to it? Oh.

'''MIKE:''' At least he erased it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, but he screwed up the monitor, there was smudgies on it for a while. I had to buy those special clothies.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Maybe, you know.

'''MIKE:''' I got some special clothies.

''{Strong Bad makes a sound effect}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's the sound they make when you're rubbing it down.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, okay so where were you when this was going on?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, I mean, I think.

'''MIKE:''' I mean Monday mornings, you know Monday mornings.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, but I...

'''MIKE:''' Wait, you listen to me. You're supposed to check your e-mail Monday mornings, sometimes Monday afternoons, occasionally Tuesday mornings.

'''STRONG BAD:''' One or two times Wednesday.

'''MIKE:''' Right, so where were you? What happened to you?

'''STRONG BAD:''' This was one of those Wednesday times. Planning on doing it on a Wednesday. Shanghaied.

'''MIKE:''' Okay.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I got, look at all those Sega tapes.

'''MIKE:''' Are those yours?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Those are my Sega tapes.

'''MIKE:''' I figured they were.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar never got to figure out how to work the Genesis.

'''MIKE:''' Are those Freshley shoes that you wear? Your wrestling boots?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, Freshleys are aptly named.

''{Mike laughs}''

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''STRONG BAD:''' About the freshest shoes you can imagine. They're freshly made. Oh, The Cheat, that was, see The Cheat was coming over, that was practice that day. Cause we were gonna...

'''MIKE:''' Why was he dressed up like somebody from Sergeant Pepper's?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Cause we were gonna do our Beatles cover band for that Wednesday e-mail, and then it got Shanghai'd.

'''MIKE:''' Look at, look at what's going on here.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, this I have a hard time looking at too. Look at all that wasted soda.

'''MIKE:''' So you don't care about your keyboard?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that keyboard was disgusting anyway, man. Have your keyboard upside down and like shook it? There's like, I had a rat one time fall out of my keyboard.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, really?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I should do that, I haven't done that in a while.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You should be careful. Get this guy out of here.

'''MIKE:''' I think it's almost over.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I mean look at him.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on guys! Get your heads in the game.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
Right now I am putting off writing a 
paper for my English class. Can you 
write my Englilsh paper for me? I 
don't even care if it's good or not, 
I just don't want to do it. 
 
Kyle Smith, 
Manhattan, Kansas</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad stops and says "Ahh. Never get tired of how that sounds" after reading "Dear Strong Bad". He also reads "Englilsh" as "Englilish".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Umm... ''{typing}'' I don't really think you need to worry about it being any good if ''you'' write it, Kyle. But I'll take a crack at it.

''{Cut to a blank sheet of paper. As Strong Bad details more about the paper, it appears onscreen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So let's start out with the title page. "A Well Thought-Out Englilsh Paper" by Kyle Smith. You know, it couldn't hurt to soup up your name a little bit, Kyle. Y'know, like throw a cool nickname in there, like Kyle "The Yellow Dart" Smith. Oh, yeah! That right there will get you five to ten extra credit points easy. Then you move into the introduction. ''{Strong Bad starts typing the essay}'' Chances are, this is all your teacher's gonna read before they give you a grade, so...that's why the cool nickname is so important. "The Yellow Dart." I'm awesome. Then you got the body, which is-a my personal favorite...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Hey, Strong Bad! I'm inside your house.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover, while typing the essay}'' Oh. That sucks. What can I do for ya?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Can I have the rest of this breakfast burrito?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I guess. What do you want it for?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Umm... I'm gonna try and sell it at some type of online auction.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Hey, do whatcha gotta do. Look, I'm busy writing a paper for my man "The Yellow Dart" over here.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Okay bye! ''{runs off}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to Homestar, still voiceover}'' Uh, you won't get more than three-fifty for it! Believe me, I've tried.

''{Cut to the essay as written sitting on a desk}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Okay, so I think we're just about done. We just need to apply a little double-space action... ''{The essay becomes double-spaced}'' or, uh...maybe a little triple-space action... ''{The essay becomes triple-spaced}'' then I'd beef it up with some random diagrams... That can't hurt.

''{The diagram is a comparison of eating one battery to eating five batteries. Cut to Strong Bad sitting in front of the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I think it's pretty good as-is, but, uh...couldn't hurt to throw a little cash in there to uh...seal the deal. ''{typing}'' Alright The Yellow Dart, you owe me, man. Can't nobody say Strong Bad never did nothing for the peoples. Now it is my intention to sit down and play video games for several hours.

''{Strong Bad gets up, [[The Paper]] comes down, and the essay appears onscreen.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end of it, flip to the page after the title page and click on the words "The Cheat's allowance" to see the [[Some Type of Online Auction|online auction]] for the breakfast burrito.
*Keep flipping through the paper, and after it flips back to the front, you'll be able to [[Miscellaneous Downloads|download]] the paper in the Microsoft Word .doc format.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*Originally, the cash was scanned pictures of actual money. However, [[The Brothers Chaps]] later scrapped the idea, probably because they were alerted to the fact that scanning currency is a federal felony in the United States.
*Kyle "The Yellow Dart" Smith allegedly reported via an Internet forum that he actually ''did'' submit Strong Bad's English paper along with his own real one.
*Originally, the half-eaten burrito was actually listed for sale on eBay. According to a message board from the time of release, the burrito shot from $3.50 to over $1,000,000 in a matter of hours. By 9:10 pm it was past $5,000,000, and by 10:19 pm it had maxed out at $99,999,999. During this time messages were displayed somewhere from Homestar, including:

<blockquote>Oh my god you guys are crazy!!! This isn't even one of Marzipan's famous tofu breakfast burritos.
But since you guys like so much, guess what, I'll throw in the plate.
BTW, watch for my upcoming auctions: One of The Cheat's sweat socks, Marzipan's bread and butter pickle recipe,
and Strong Sad's autographed Moby baby-doll tee!</blockquote>

<blockquote>Alright, alright! I'll pay the shipping. It's the least I can do.</blockquote>

<blockquote>C'mon guys, quit going crazy on my auction.
This thing isn't worth half of what it's going for. It is half-eaten, afterall.
I'm going to use the money to buy Marzipan a Yello Dello.
And if that's you running up the price, The Cheat, don't ask me to shave your back anymore.</blockquote>

Due to the large number of bogus bids, the burrito was eventually pulled. The cancellation notice(s) read:

<blockquote>Sewiouslwy guys, this thing is half eaten afterall.</blockquote>

<blockquote>The King Of Town ate the burrito. This does not look good for Homestar Runner. </blockquote>
*Within the online auction page is the first time Strong Bad is called a "[[Wrestleman|wrestle man]]."

===Remarks===
*According to the auction Easter egg, Homestar's [[Characters' Contacts|screen name]] is witchesbrew82—yet another in a long line of [[Witches' Brew]] references. The high bidder is cheatachu72, which happens to be [[The Cheat]]'s AOL Instant Messenger screen name.
*Cancelling out the negatives, "Can't nobody say Strong Bad never did nothing for the peoples" means "Somebody can say Strong Bad did something for the peoples."
*The aforementioned phrase is the second time Strong Bad has used a quadruple negative (Can't, nobody, never, nothing). Previously in [[marzipan]], he asked marzipan "Do you don't not dislike not Strong Bad?" Which, cancelling out the negatives means, "Do you dislike not Strong Bad?" That roughly means, "Do you hate anybody that's not Strong Bad?"
*Strong Bad taped $2.53 to the back of the paper. It is not entirely clear whether the silver coins are nickels or quarters, though the portrait looks similar to that on the fake one dollar bills, which also feature George Washington.
*The printable version of the english paper was created on Sunday, February 23, 2003 10:27:00 PM and printed on Monday, February 24, 2003 4:57:00 AM. The software it was written on is registered to "Preferred Customer" of "Dell Computer Corporation."
*The a> prompt is missing from the back button.

===Fast Forward===
*The diagram of the man eating a battery is later used in [[bottom 10]], except instead of a battery, he has a [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows|Fluffy Puff Marshmallow]] crammed in there.

== The English Paper ==
<blockquote style="font-family:monospace; width: 35em; text-align: center">
"A Well Thought-Out Englilsh Paper" 
by Kyle "The Yellow Dart" Smith
</blockquote>

<blockquote style="font-family:monospace; text-indent:3em">
Since maybe like the Middle Ages, there have been many 
differing opinions on hustle and bustle. This cannot be 
denied. It is my intention to sit down and play video games 
for several hours.

First, moving around quickly, and with purpose, is a 
true sign of character. Secondarily, bustle(e.g. hustle) 
yields more product for the working types. "Hustle and bustle 
are like my right and left arms," said Li'l Spicy in his famous 
"Hustle and Bustle Are Like My Right and Left Arms" speech. 
Webster's defines bustle as "excited and often noisy activity; 
a stir." A stir, indeed. Finally, sometimes gross stuff can 
be funny.

In conclusion, I, "The Yellow Dart," think I have done a 
great job illustrating the many differing opinions about hustle 
and bustle, may they both rest in peace. Also, I think Strong 
Bad should decrease The Cheat's allowance.
</blockquote>

''{Page Three features the batteries diagrams, and Page 4 features fake money taped to a piece of paper}''

== DVD Version ==
*The "Englilsh" Paper is only accessible via a hidden Strong Bad icon in the lower-right corner of the Compy 386 screen. However, you now get to hear Strong Bad read the paper aloud! Furthermore, there are some additional comments near the end of this.
**'''STRONG BAD:''' Eating one battery. Eating five batteries. Oh, that guy has got quite a gullet. ''{turns to page four}'' And what I like to call a little...inshoirance.
*The Breakfast Burrito is accessible via a hidden Strong Bad icon in the lower-left corner of the Compy 386 screen instead of through the Englilsh Paper. Like with the Englilsh Paper, you get to hear Homestar Runner read it.
