== Featured content of the day (or whenever) issue ==

I noticed that the trogdor 08 link to "watch" links to trogday.html, and not trogday08.html is this a known issue? {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 13:04, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

== Discussions ==

There are a lot of talk page discussions happening on this wiki. The problem is, this wiki is not very active, so such discussions rarely get consensus and very few things get done. (That's why I'm {{p|l=http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Links&diff=777176&oldid=777175 always}} {{p|l=http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Puppet_Character_Variations&diff=prev&oldid=776839 reviving}} {{p|l=http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Homestar_Runner_20th_Anniversary_Show&diff=prev&oldid=775801 old}} {{p|l=http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Teenage_Variation&diff=prev&oldid=776233 discussions}} with a phrase like "I still agree with this.") I think there should be some way to keep track of all the ongoing discussions. Maybe a <nowiki>[[HRWiki:Discussions]]</nowiki> page or something to keep these discussions from becoming inactive. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 01:37, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

== Some questions we would like to ask about... ==

Hi there, I'm a stranger who wants to ask you some questions.

1) When will ALL the old Flash pages turn to HTML5?

2) When are you going to UNBAN IP addresses who "committed" persistent vandalism?

3) If Flash is dead, are you going to cancel HomestarRunner.com ?

4) Why wouldn't we see ANY updates from 2011 to 2014?

5) Could y'all please tell us what email The Brothers Chaps have?

--[[Special:Contributions/83.185.35.154|83.185.35.154]] 18:37, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
:1) We don't know. Ask [[the Brothers Chaps]].
:2) Never. Why should we?
:3) You'll have to be more specific as to what that means exactly. We aren't involved with homestarrunner.com, so we can't take down someone else's website. And The Brothers Chaps are planning to give the site a HTML5 update, so they won't take it down.
:4) Kids, creative burnout, side projects, etc. See [[HRWiki:Hiatuses]] for more details.
:5) Their email address used to be brotherschaps@homestarrunner.com, but it was removed from the site's [[Email]] page, so it seems [[@StrongBadActual]] is now their primary contact method.
:Hope this helps! {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 22:33, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

::Concerning the answer #2, why never? --[[Special:Contributions/83.185.35.154|83.185.35.154]] 22:50, 30 August 2019 (UTC)
:::To reduce the risk of a repeat offender. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 23:32, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

:::::Look, I'm not sure what your issues are, but the simple truth is that the best thing for you to do is behave like someone who has never even heard the name "Maudi Algabban" (we are not fooled, we know who you are) and has literally zero curiosity about the name or the user's history, while also showing no particular interest toward all the things you show far too much interest over (such as the Pyongyang reference, the hiatuses, and the possibility of homestarrunner.com being taken down) and never, ever, even for a moment, even consider writing loud yelling, swearing posts demanding people unblock you and give you answers to questions we have no way of answering. Also, make constructive Wiki edits (that means not vandalism, with or without scare quotes), not just Talk page chatter. Basically, you need to start over completely and pretend you are not and were never you and do not care about you - and that doesn't mean to insult yourself, it means ''do not mention'' yourself. You've built up far too much bad karma, so it's very likely that even the slightest hint that you are you will be treated with immediate suspicion, and likely result in further blocks. And if you think this is unreasonable, perhaps what you really need to do is to find a way to end your obsession with this Wiki. You've been pulling these bizarre stunts for literal years. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:50, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

::::::I must tell you all that I'm NOTHING but a stranger, but if you would like to send some ANGRY emails to him, his email address is ''-redacted-'' .

== Netiquette w/r/t interviews on defunct sites ==

As I [[HRWiki:WikiGnome|clean up]] various pages on the site I'm finding that many cited interviews and links are dead and gone.

==YouTube channel?==
Maybe you could consider adding the HomestarRunner YouTube channel to the new content watchlist, since that's where TBC seems to be doing most of their work, now?

:I disagree. YouTube is really more of a dumping ground for all the old Flash stuff that is still available on the site, but might not be should the Flash plug be pulled. And though I prefer to avoid YouTube, I don't think the Homestar Runner YouTube channel has been updated in months. [[website|Because YouTube is a place where absolutely nothing happens]]. I would mention that most new content is now posted on Twitter, but much of it doesn't qualify as full toons that demand full attention. (This may change, but not in the foreseeable future). -- [[Special:Contributions/68.37.43.131|68.37.43.131]] 13:35, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

:::What exactly do you mean "new content watchlist"? YouTube-exclusive content is already listed and documented in numerous places. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 07:38, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

== Redesign ==

I was just looking at the [[HRWiki:Main page redesign]], and it had something entitled, "On this day..." for H*R stuff that happened on that day in history. I like the idea of that, but when I looked on it, it had stuff for February 9th. Where I live, it's still February 8th. I know this wiki is centered around UTC, but it could be very confusing for someone who ''doesn't'' know that. -[[Image:Baby strong bad.png|20px]][[User talk:Minecraft lover147|Minecraft lover147]] 04:50, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

::How long exactly will the COVID-related logos continue to show up? It's been long enough now - if it was even necessary in the first place. Yes, we get it. Current events, the end times have almost come, we almost danced the Conga of the Apocalypse, etc. We get that. I think everyone who visits this wiki is aware of that by now. I think we'd all be aware of that ''even if'' this wiki's logo didn't shove it in our faces every few page loads (though I do appreciate that it is no longer EVERY page load like it was at first). And I don't think any of us like being reminded of it - especially not this long after the fact. I'm sure most of us visit this wiki to take our minds ''off'' of the bad news for a while, not to be reminded of it by the logo. But it's your call, I suppose. I do hope I'm not coming across as rude - I just want to give my two cents on the matter since no one has brought up this point of view yet. [[Special:Contributions/76.184.23.181|76.184.23.181]] 01:24, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
:::What's funny is I agree with you—it ''has'' been long enough now, and ''I'' don't like being reminded of it, either. In fact I came this close to taking it down completely a couple of days ago, but I stopped myself. It just didn't feel right, since this mess is still very much not over. But I toned it way down (btw, the most it has ever appeared is on half of all page loads; now it's on a twelfth). If you'd like to eliminate it completely, you can of course create an account and then set whatever logo you like on your user CSS page. As you mention, no one else has brought up this point of view yet. If they do, I'll reconsider whether it's time to take it down altogether. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:03, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
::::1) You have no idea how relieved I am to hear that you agree with me for the most part! :)
::::I apologize if I came across as preemptively defensive earlier. I'm not the best at wording, so I was gulp-afraid of saying the wrong thing and being misunderstood... that's happened to me a lot, especially in discussions about this pandemic. (Which is the major reason for me not liking to be reminded of it too often if possible.)
::::2) Oh yes, I do remember that even in the beginning it wasn't on every page load. I think I initially assumed it was on only certain pages or something. And I did notice that it wasn't appearing as frequently lately, but I wasn't sure if that meant it had been toned down or was just a coincidence (at one point I even thought it was finally gone). Once every 12 page loads is acceptable, especially now that I know I'm not the only one who's tired of it. ;)
::::3) I didn't know it was possible to change the logo on my user CSS page. I don't have a lot of practice with CSS but I might give it a try. Thanks for letting me know!
::::4) I suppose it should be mentioned: technically I do have an account here, that I made when I was about 14 or 15. Same with the forum. But I've haven't been to the forum in years and have barely used the wiki account - instead, I mostly just browse the wiki, and, on VERY rare occasions, post on talk pages. Every once in a while I think about logging in and making contributions more often and becoming a regular user (after all, I read talk pages more than the average non-contributing user does, and several times I've thought of edits I could make), but... I said a LOT of dumb things on the forum back in the day, and my wiki and forum usernames are similar, so I cringe thinking about the possibility that people might still remember all of that. One of these days I'm going to see if I can still log in so I can change my username.

== What's new correction ==

The "What's New" should have the Fan Costumes from Thanksgiving at the bottom. [[User:Wolf O'Donnel|Wolf O'Donnel]] 03:52, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
:I think whoever edited What's New last opted to take the Fan Costumes out instead, because the Halloween toon is a bigger, more significant update. The importance of updates should be considered alongside their recent,,,ness. A big toon should take priority over a short, and so on. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:33, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
::I did that. I was under the impression that the box was meant to primarily show the updates on the site's "what's new" button. The Halloween toon is there, while the Fan Costumes is not. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 04:37, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
:::A good rule of thumb is that we should list everything within the last month and anything that's still in the What's New button, and if we still have space to fill, we can include older things that you can actually watch, like toons. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 14:07, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

== Site on the fritz ==

The wiki has been taking an age to load lately. Is there something amiss or do just that many people wanna know what the crap Bod is? [[User:Guybrush20X6|Guybrush20X6]] 12:21, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
:Yeah that happens sometimes, especially when there's a new toon. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:35, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

== History preservation ==

Could you keep the pages for the stuff that will be removed from the website in 2021 (e.g. games, character videos, etc.) on the Wiki, so as to preserve the history of the website? (That "Mashed Potato Jones" comment from "Halloween Fairstival" and other stuff that was changed should be kept on the Wiki, too)
:Has there been any announcement indicating that content will be removed from the website? I believe individuals have made content archives and projects such as [[Wikipedia:Lightspark|Lightspark]] should allow such content to remain playable after flash's EOL. So we should be ok? Still I haven't seen any notice of content deletion as of yet. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 18:06, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

== Remove [[FeedBurner]] from the main page ==

If we're not doing a main page redesign in the near future, could we at least replace the link to [[FeedBurner]] with [[@StrongBadActual]]? It's where updates really happen now. {{User:Elcool/sig}} 07:02, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
: I agree with Elcool. Which is why I decided to '''be bold''' and make the exact update he suggests. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 10:02, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
::A '''bold''' edit? on the '''''Main Page'''''?!?!? :O Awesome! {{User:Elcool/sig}} 12:28, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

::To Elcool, Jay, and the rest of the sysops (and the greater wiki community at large): '''I would greatly appreciate everyone's feedback on if and how to move forward with the main page redesign!''' This is another thing that has stalled for years and I think even small changes would be helpful. However, changes for the main page need to begin with sysop and admin participation! Thanks! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 13:53, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

== Flash archive preservation ==

What are we going to do with the wiki's flash archives? We need to preserve the old content, and there isn't any sign that the brothers chaps will post them on youtube.
:[[https://twitter.com/StrongBadActual/status/1343723058289373184/photo/1 They've got their top man on it.]] And we got all the files backed up here so if needed we can run our own legacy player for stuff like [[Where the Crap are we?]] or worst case scenario, beg Newgrounds for their player. [[User:Guybrush20X6|Guybrush20X6]] 00:16, 1 January 2021 (UTC)
:And just like that, they've unveiled a new HTML site that runs Ruffle for the old crap! I already found two Easter eggs! [[User:Guybrush20X6|Guybrush20X6]] 01:50, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

== Some sbemails redirect to the wrong ones. ==

As an example: [[1 step ahead]] redirects to sbemail 29 if you take the link to http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail28.html {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 08:13, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
:Sounds like a redirect bug to me (or similar). It could be noted in the [[Post-Flash Site Update]] page. But more importantly TBC should be made aware of this so it can be fixed. Not sure what the best way to do that is, I don't think they have a 'report site problems' link or similar. Oh, I guess there's also twitter! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 08:20, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

== Index page seems to be missing from the Main Page ==

The title says it all: every since the [[Post-Flash Site Update]], it seems the [[Index Page]] has risen to prominence a bit more than before. It should probably be included in the Main Page as well! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 09:10, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
:I see this a lot. Why do people say that the title says it all and then go on to say more things? Anyway I added the index page to the main page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:45, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
::That is a ''very'' good question! I had never thought of that before. I almost didn't put the phrase in, but I still felt like it should go there. People are riddled and mired in contradiction. That's the only thing that comes to mind. Also, thank you very much for adding the link! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 13:51, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

== Breaking tradition ==

Twice, I've come across [http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Eggs_(disambiguation)&diff=prev&oldid=804774 edits that] [http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Pink_Pants!&diff=prev&oldid=805372 go against] tradition. I'm fairly certain we have never had a disambiguation with a non-name-matching entry or a categorised redirect, and I also don't understand the sudden acceptance for them. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 13:09, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
:Tradition for tradition's sake isn't necessarily a good thing. If all decisions were made purely based on precedent, nothing would ever change. Also, since these edits have been made, they are no longer unprecedented. When these precedents were established is irrelevant; what matters is whether these practices should continue based on their own merits.
:The first is more common than you think ([[Haunted House]], for instance, has no links with "Haunted House" in the title). The content of the page is just as relevant as its title, so I see no reason to enforce such a restriction. I can imagine a user looking for the sbemail about eggs, and visiting that disambiguation for help finding it.
:I'm more conflicted on the second thing. I can see the benefits, but to me, a categorised redirect is an indication that either the redirect should get its own page, or that the page should be categorised instead of the redirect. I'd prefer a more elegant solution, but it's not harming anyone and is unlikely to cause confusion, so I'm fine with it staying. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 19:12, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

==Markiplier Mentions==

I recently noticed the Markiplier has referenced Homestarrunner.com on more than one occasion.

He made a vague reference to the Virus SBEmail in his :The Game: trilogy.

Also in his playthrough of Home Improvisation I noticed that one of the boxes in the game has Fhqwhgads printed on it.
{{User:ToaJuaraevo01/sig1}} 22:19, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
:Markiplier is a good fit for [[Other Sightings]]. See the entries for [[Other Sightings#Brutalmoose|Brutalmoose]], [[Other Sightings#DaThings|DaThings]], or [[Other Sightings#PeanutButterGamer|PeanutButterGamer]] for examples of how to note the mentions. Describe Markiplier's references and link to the videos where they appear, timestamped if possible.

::Thanks, Done! {{User:ToaJuaraevo01/sig1}} 17:40, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

== DVD commentary filmographies? ==

Although the DVD commentaries are generally just the two Brothers Chaps, many times they are joined by [[contributors|friends and family]] and/or Matt will portray one of the dumb animal characters. The toon articles all identify who is present for the DVD version with a "Commentary by:" subheader, but is there a separate article tracking commentators? Something like [[:Category:Filmography]], [[Strong Bad Email By Name of Sender]], or [[Fan Costumes#Costumes]]. If not this is something that I think would be a good addition to the wiki. --{{User:Bleu Ninja/sig}} 17:26, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
:Each DVD page (e.g. [[strongbad_email.exe Disc One]]) lists the commentators of each toon, but it might be interesting and helpful to have a centralized list of all of them. Ideally it should be formatted differently from the DVD articles (such as having separate sections for each character), or else it might be redundant. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 18:05, 21 September 2021 (UTC)

== Loading issues ==

I've been having some loading issues on both Chrome and Firefox with ad blockers off. [[User:Wolf O'Donnel|Wolf O'Donnel]] 08:35, 25 October 2021 (UTC)
:The wiki tends to load slower when it receives more traffic. My guess is that more people are coming here to check if the Halloween toon/teaser is out. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 03:45, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Defender1031: rv, sprung is often used as the past tense of spring as well. Probably not remarkable and certainly not a goof.

==Transcript==
''{Yellow letters reading "Previously on HomestarRunner.com" on a black background zoom out slowly.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Previously ''{pronounced "preh-viously"}'' on homestarrunner.com...

''{Fade to a scene from [[strong badathlon]], set in the Field. Marzipan and Homsar are sitting around a wooden table with a pink and white tea set on it. Faint music and finger snapping can be heard in the background.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ...and that's why I believe the DNA evidence had been tampered with.

''{The music continues. Cut to a clip from [[unnatural]], in Strong Badia. Strong Bad and The Cheat are seen sitting around a yellow table with a red and black teapot and matching teacups on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...and that's when I tampered with the DNA evidence!

''{The music continues. Cut to inside the movie theater, from [[the movies]]. Strong Sad is sitting in a seat next to Pom Pom.}''

'''MOVIE:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...the DNA evidence was gone!

''{The music continues. Cut to an excerpt of [[your funeral]], inside Marzipan's house. A statue of Strong Bad wrestling a cougar is sitting by Marzipan's couch; the statue has Homestar's trench coat and bowler hat hung on it. Homestar is standing in the middle of the room. Marzipan leans her head into the scene}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Did you find the DNA evidence?

''{The music continues. Cut to the office, as seen in [[from work]]. Strong Bad is sitting at his computer. Pom Pom, already halfway offscreen, bounces away from the cubicle. Homestar shuffles after him, bending over with a downtrodden look.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I'll have that DNA evidence on your desk by five.

''{The music continues. Cut to the Easter egg from [[rough copy]], inside Marzipan's house. Homestar is sitting on the couch, looking sad. The lights are off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' DNA evidence.

''{The music continues. A guitar comes in to the music and begins playing a jazzy tune. Cut to a purple background with "The DNA Evidence" written onscreen, angled and in block letters. The camera pans down to Strong Sad. A crowd is heard in the background. Strong Sad has an easel on his right with "DNA Evidence" written across the top and a diagram of different characters and links between them.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Attention! ''{raises right hand}'' Your attention please!

''{Cut to Homsar with his mouth open on the other side of the room. Homsar gulps and closes his mouth. The crowd noises stop. Cut back to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' After extensive investigation, I'm ready to release ''{raises his right hand and turns his head toward the chart}'' my findings. I first spoke with—

''{Cut to Marzipan in her kitchen}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{spoken with a faux [[French]] accent}'' —Marzipan.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, it all started several weeks ago.

''{Cut to Marzipan's living room. Marzipan is walking in wearing a toga. There are muddy footprints on the carpet.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' I came home from my toga-yoga class to find that my house had been broken into and that the culprit had left behind some DNA evidence.

''{As she walks, the screen pans left towards the couch. The cushions are disarranged and the "Thank You" picture on the wall is crooked. The muddy prints stop at the couch. Something made of glass is just visible behind one of the cushions. Marzipan looks at the footprints. Cut to Strong Sad holding a pen and his notebook in Marzipan's kitchen.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' What was it? Hair particles? Skin flakes? Blood crispies?

''{Cut back to toga Marzipan in front of ransacked couch.}

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' No, it was a little test tube just full of green DNA evidence.

''{As she says this, toga Marzipan pulls out a test tube filled with green liquid from the couch. Cut to close up of Marzipan inspecting the tube. Cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh. ''{he writes something down}'' Just like in the movies.

''{Cut to front of Marzipan's house, toga Marzipan is walking out holding the test tube.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{voiceover}'' So I immediately took it to Bubs to be analyzed...

''{Cut back to Marzipan in her kitchen}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ...and ''this'' ''{holds up a tube filled with purple liquid and stamped with a "TAMPERED WITH!" label}'' is all I got back.

''{A scene in Strong Bad's garage scrolls in from the right. Bubs is present.}''

'''BUBS:''' Well, it all started a few weeks ago. I just got finished teaching my—

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. Bubs is walking inside wearing a toga.}

'''BUBS:''' ''{voiceover}'' —toga-yoga class, ''{Bubs takes off his toga}'' when old-maid Marzipan showed up.

''{Marzipan, still wearing her toga, walks onscreen.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey, Bubs. Can you analyze this ''{she holds up the test tube}'' DNA evidence for me?

''{Cut to the inside of the stand. Bubs is silhouetted on the left.}''

'''BUBS:''' Sure thing, but it's gonna cost you an arm and a leg!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Not a problem.

''{Marzipan hands over the test tube to Bubs. Cut to Strong Sad in the garage.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' So, what did you find out when you analyzed it?

''{Cut back to Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' Oh, ''that''. Well, next thing I know—

''{Cut to inside of stand with silhouette}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{voiceover}'' —Strong Bad shows up.

''{Strong Bad pops up from under the counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Bubs. One green apple snow cone please.

'''BUBS:''' Comin' right up!

''{Bubs moves out of view. Cut to a shelf with four jugs of flavored syrup labeled "Red", "Purple", "Green Apple", and "Blue". All contain various levels of appropriately-colored liquid, except for the "Green Apple" container, which has a hole near its bottom. Some soft music begins to play. Scene zooms out slowly.}''

'''BUBS:''' Ooh. Er...

''{Cut to bubs holding an unflavored snowcone in one hand and the evidence in the other.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{looks at the snowcone}'' Uh... ''{looks at the DNA evidence}'' Blaaaah...

''{Bubs pours the evidence over the snow cone. Music stops. Cut to outside of stand}''

'''BUBS:''' Here ya go. One... ''{turns head to the side}'' cough, cough... ''{looks back at Strong Bad}'' green apple snowcone.

''{Bubs hands the cone over to Strong Bad. Cut to Strong Sad, writing something down. He stops and looks up.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' You served the DNA in a snowcone?!

''{Cut to Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{raising his right arm}'' And it sold like hotcake!

''{A scene in the Smoky Office scrolls up from the bottom of the screen. Strong Bad is sitting at the desk, leaning back in the chair. He is wearing his Dangeresque glasses, and there is a lit cigarette in the ashtray on the desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I bought the DNA snowcone.

''{Cut to Strong Sad in front of a window, writing with the pad and pen.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' You ''knew'' it had the DNA evidence in it?!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, yeah.

''{Cut to side of Bubs' Concession Stand. Strong Bad is standing there wearing his shades. Marzipan walks up, wearing a toga.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I overheard that Marzipan had some DNA evidence, and I figured I could use it to continue my genetic experiments on The Cheat.

''{As he says this, Strong Bad leans to the right. Marzipan holds up the tube and talks to Bubs. Strong Bad rubs his hands together with glee and jumps off toward the back of the stand. Cut to the shelf with the snowcone flavorings. The "Green Apple" beaker is relatively full.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So I sprung into action.

''{Strong Bad appears and punctures the bottom of the Green Apple container with a pencil before ducking down again. The liquid pours out. Cut to a view from inside the stand; the soft music starts again. Strong Bad pops up from beneath the counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bubs-keep, one green-app' sno'c, on the rocks. And keep it rusty.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad in the office.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' By the time I got home, it was all melted...

''{Cut to computer room. Strong Bad walks in from the right, still wearing Dangeresque glasses, and carrying a glass of green liquid.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...so I put it in a glass on my desk and went downstairs ''{Strong Bad puts the glass on the desk and walks offscreen}'' to do one of my high-impact toga-yoga videos.

''{Cut back to office}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And that's the last I saw of it.

''{Cut to Strong Sad, writing something down.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' You left it on your desk, eh? ''{he looks up}''

''{A scene in Marzipan's house scrolls in from the right. Focus on Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, I swung by Strong Bad's the other day. ''{angry expression}'' The old lady had me out looking for some kind of ''{brightens up}'' Dan evidence.

''{Cut to computer room. The vial of DNA evidence is still on the desk. Homestar walks on from the right, wearing a hat and trenchcoat.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Bad! I'm wearing a hat and trenchcoat! ''{Notices the glass}'' Ooh! A tall, cool glass of Mountain Dwah.

''{Cut to close-up}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't mind if I dwah! ''{He drinks the evidence.}'' Glug, glug, glug.

''{After a short pause, Homestar spits it out. Cut to a dripping, green-tinted The Cheat, on the left side of the Lappy.}''

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

''{Cut back to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, sorry, The Cheat. That stuff tasted like dwah-dwah.

''{Cut back to The Cheat, who is wiping himself off with a gross towel.}''

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

''{Cut back to Strong Sad, writing something down.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' So he wiped his face off with a gross towel, eh? ''{he looks up}''

''{A locker room screen scrolls in from the right. Coach Z is there, looking upset.}''

'''COACH Z:''' You figured it out, Strong Sad! My cover is blown! I am actually...

''{Coach Z pats his chest and puts his hands on his hips. A heroic halo appears briefly around him, accompanied by an heroic sound effect.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ...Damp Towel Man! ''{cups his chin in his hand}'' And also his mild-mannered alter-ego, Dan Towelman.

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z, no one's ever heard of those people.

''{Cut to Coach Z}''

'''COACH Z:''' Damp Towel Man is a super hero. He collects damp towels from across the galaxy.

''{Cut to computer room, where a now green-spotted towel rests on the desk. Coach Z comes on from the left, wearing a black mask and a towel around his neck like a cape.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Moist molecules! A green-stained damp towel! The rarest and most powerful kind!

''{Cut to the office. A janitorial cart rolls onto the screen from the left, with the towel on it.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' So I took the towel to work the next day to see if it could clean up microwave lasagna stains. ''{Pronounces the middle "a" in "lasagna" like the "a" in "at"}''

''{Coach Z walks by with a vacuum cleaner and starts humming. Homestar shuffles by from the right, looking angry and muttering to himself.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Stupid DNA evi''dence''! Where am I supposed to find evi''dence'' by 5:00?

''{Cut back to Coach Z in the locker room}''

'''COACH Z:''' But when I got back to my cart, it was gone! I suspect it was my nemesis, ''{shakes his fist}'' Dry Ragamuffin! Or his mild-mannered alter ego, Dreyfus Ragámoofin.

''{Cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z, you have a real sucky imagination.

''{Cut back to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' That I do, my boy, that I do. ''{pats his chin}'' Though I ''did'' notice that...

''{Cut to the office, slowly zooming in on some muddy boots. Strong Bad can be seen on the right sitting at his desk. Coach Z's vacuum is moving back and forth.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...Strong Bad had some muddy boots sitting under his cyorbicle.

''{Cut back to Coach Z in the locker room.}''

'''COACH Z:''' I didn't find that at ''all'' suspicious.

''{The same scene in the Smoky Office scrolls up from the bottom of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' First of all, those were ''not'' muddy. I'd been stomping around in pecan pie all morning. Marzipan's allergic to pecans, you know.

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' So it was ''your'' DNA evidence!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, no. It was yours.

''{Cut to Strong Sad, whose eyes are now bugging out. Zoom in on Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''Whaaaaaat?!''

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I was just swiping the change from—

''{Cut to Marzipan's living room. Strong Bad is wearing the pecan mush-covered boots, has the test tube in the back of his pants, and is on the couch, pulling money from it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —Marzipan's couch cushions. And I must've accidentally dropped it.

''{The test tube leaps out of Strong Bad's pants and lands on the couch. Cut back to Strong Bad in Smoky Office.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, I was ''{holds up hand with thumb close to the main part of the glove}'' ''this'' close to finding out if you're really part elephant or part hippo or something.

''{Cut back to Strong Sad, who looks angry}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I am ''not''!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, now I guess we'll never know for sure. Now if you'll excuse me, ''{Dangeresque music starts}'' the stairs of this building have been burned down by termites. So it looks like I'm gonna have to jump!

''{Strong Bad jumps off the screen. Fade out, then in to close-up of the bottom of Strong Sad's bed. Strong Sad pulls out his "fond reminiscences" box from underneath it; it has the same contents as it did in [[The Secrets That I Keep]], with the notable addition of the DNA evidence test tube. Strong Sad grabs the test tube. Cut to close-up of Strong Sad smiling.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yes. The world will ''never'' know for sure. Oh-ho-ho-ho.

''{Zoom in on Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho.

''{Zoom in on Strong Sad again; the camera is now angled.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ooh-hoo-ho-ho-ho-ho!

''{Zoom in even closer. Strong Sad now has a maniacal expression on his face.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha!

''{Cut to Strong Bad stealing change from Marzipan's couch. Pan left to see Strong Sad peeking through the window}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo!

''{Cut to Marzipan giving the test tube to Bubs. Pan up to see Strong Sad on the roof.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha! Ah-ha-ha-ha!

''{Cut to Coach Z's cart. Strong Sad comes up from behind it and reaches for the towel.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Hah-ha-ha-ha-ha!

''{Cut back to Strong Sad standing in his room, holding up the test tube.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Woo-ho-ho-ho!

''{Cut to a long view of the room, revealing that Homsar is standing next to Strong Sad.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ah-ha-ha-ha! Woo-ha-ha—

''{Record scratch. Strong Sad looks down and finally notices Homsar there.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh. Hi. You're not gonna say anything, are you?

''{Cut to a close-up of Homsar.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' AaAaAa, these Easter pants are getting waAaAy too tight! ''{His hat flies off his head on "pants", slides backwards on "way", and performs a backflip off his mouth on "too tight".}''

''{Two ascending notes play, accompanied by the screen turning black except for a small circle around Homsar's eyes. Fade to black. "THE END" appears on a purple background in block letters, zooming out slowly.}''

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Damp towel man.PNG|thumb|Dan Towelman is nowhere to be found!]]
*Click on the Z on Coach Z's medallion after he reveals that he's Damp Towel Man to see a Strong Badman comic.
*Click on the Z again in the scene he mentions Dry Ragamuffin to see another Strong Badman comic, starring a character that resembles Bubs.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*This cartoon is based on the [[DNA Evidence (running gag)|DNA Evidence running gag]] that appeared in six straight emails, beginning with [[strong badathlon]].
*"Old maid" is a term used to disparagingly describe an older, unmarried woman.
*[[Wikipedia:Ragamuffin|Ragamuffin]] is a term used to describe a child wearing shabby clothing.

===Trivia===
*The text on the [[Lappy 486]] reads:
<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">
Hi. Yeah, go ahead and very safely enter most of your 
credit card numbers onto this Lappy. It will safen it all 
out. 
 
Thanks, 
The Strong Badagement</blockquote>
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#threeDFX drivers|3DFX drivers]]".
*The bottle of cleaning fluid on Coach Z's Janitator cart is labelled "DANG!".
*This is Strong Badman's first appearance outside [[Strong Bad Email]]s.
*This is yet another instance of both [[Strong Bad Smiling|Strong Bad]] and [[Strong Sad smiling]].

===Remarks===
*In the Marzipan and Homsar scene from [[strong badathlon]], when Marzipan says "...had been tampered with," the whatsit covered The Cheat doesn't appear in the background.
*Strong Sad is able to write in his [[notebook]] without any problems, but in [[rough copy]], he had trouble writing a mere sentence on a single page of the same notebook.
*The puncture that Strong Bad makes is well above the bottom of the green apple bottle, but all the liquid leaks out.
*Homestar's trenchcoat seems to be unaffected by gravity, as it remains stiff and straight even as he bends over.
*Coach Z seems to go over by Strong Bad after Homestar, but if he went up to Strong Bad while he was still using the bar graph (which refers to [[from work]] and [[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]]), then he would have to have gone before Homestar.
*In actuality, the DNA evidence was not tampered with, as is said in [[strong badathlon]] and [[unnatural]], as it was stolen.
*When Bubs goes back to get Strong Bad's Green Apple snow cone, the green apple flavoring is the only actual flavor, as the others just say "Blue", "Red", and "Purple".

===Goofs===
*The smoke from the office only wafts in the first few shots before Strong Bad speaks his account of what happened at Bubs' Concession Stand.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When this toon was first released, when Marzipan was walking up to Bubs' Concession Stand, she was not wearing her toga. This was fixed less than an hour after the toon was released.
*Originally, in the "Big Toons" section of the [[TV Time Toons Menu]], the description read, "Strong Sad gets to the bottom of all this mess," while the description on the [[New Stuff]] menu omitted the word "all".

===Inside References===
*This is another mention of [[Mountain Dew]].
*Homestar's mispronunciation of DNA and Coach Z's "mild mannered alter-ego" are references to [[Dan]].
**Furthermore, Coach Z's alter-ego's last name is an example of [["Man" pronounced as "m'n"]].
*The box Strong Sad pulls the DNA evidence out of in the last scene is from [[The Secrets That I Keep]].
*Strong Bad's glasses, the line "Looks like I'm gonna have to jump!", and the background music in the respective scenes are from the [[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]] series of films.
*Marzipan's response to the cost of "an arm and a leg" and the way the arm of Homestar's coat moves as he takes a drink are references to their [[lack of visible arms]] and, in her case, [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Marzipan's Legs|legs]].
*Homsar mentions [[pants]].
*Coach Z's janitor cart reads "JANITATOR", similar to [[Trogdor|Trogdor the Burninator]].
*The vacuum cleaner and Coach Z's line about cleaning up lasagna are references to [[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]].
*The text on the Lappy implies [[credit card fraud]].
*Homestar seems to think the DNA evidence tasted like [[whatsit]].
*Bubs-keep, Strong Badagement and janitator are [[portmanteaus]].
*Strong Bad says he "was [that] close to finding out if Strong Sad was part [[elephant]]".
*Bubs' saying that the sno-cone sold like "hotcake" is an example of [[singular instead of plural]].
*Strong Bad stealing the change out of Marzipan's couch is a reference to [[loose coins]].
*The flavors of the snow cones at the concession stand are another instance of [[color flavored]] food.
*Homestar describes the glass as "a tall, cool glass", similar to the piemonade Strong Bad mentions in [[other days]].



===Real-World References===
*The entire structure of the toon, with a detective interviewing several people when he ultimately is the culprit, is a nod to [[wikipedia:Film noir|film noir]], a style of American film that peaked in the late 1940s and early 1950s.
*The opening titles and ending in which Strong Sad laughs maniacally and appears in a window, on a roof, and behind the cleaning supplies is a direct reference to [[Wikipedia:Killer Bob (Twin_Peaks)|Killer Bob]], mysterious antagonist of [[Wikipedia:Twin Peaks|Twin Peaks]]. The character was created because of a happy accident in which crew member [[Wikipedia:Frank Silva|Frank Silva]] was caught in frame during shooting of the pilot, thus explaining the unwieldy positions in which Strong Sad appears.
*The music in the background of the opening sequence is an homage to [[Wikipedia:Angelo Badalamenti|Angelo Badalamenti's]] music for the American television show [[Wikipedia:Twin Peaks|Twin Peaks]].


===Fast Forward===
*The flashback theme is re-used in several scenes in [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]], usually in scenes that prominently feature [[the King of Town]].
*Homestar's "hat and trench coat" costume would reappear in [[@StrongBadActual]].

==DVD Version==
*Marzipan wears her toga in her two appearances during the clips of past emails.
*To access the two Strong Badman comics about Damp Towel Man and Dry Ragamuffin, respectively, press the angle button on your DVD remote. They remain on the screen for a large duration of the scene with Strong Sad interrogating Coach Z.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MIKE:''' Finally, Matt, we get to find out what's up with this DNA evidence.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. It's, uh— this is sort of a first. We... we like to not have a lot of continuity in our cartoons, so they can all sort of be stand-alone. Uh... but, uh, we decided to go ahead and, uh— This started as just a joke, right? As just a one-off joke.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, there was one. And then the second time, the second email, we thought, "Oh, we should say something about the DNA evidence! About how ''he'' tampered with the..." And then we did it five weeks in a row, or five emails in a row.

'''MATT:''' And then—

'''MIKE:''' Decided to use all that, and then base the cartoon around those weird little... snippets.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I think after the third one we started talking about making a cartoon like this.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' You can tell Melissa's got a cold here. She's a little snotty.

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

'''MATT:''' So, since Strong Sad is the culprit of all this, Mike. Um...

'''MIKE:''' Spoiler alert! Spoiler alert! Matt just told you who the culprit is! Go ahead, go ahead. We're cool, now.

'''MATT:''' Okay. Uh... highlight— this is all spoken in inviso-text, Mike, so you have to highlight it in order to read it.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, right.

'''MATT:''' Uh... so, why is he doing this? Is he just doing it to— to sort of find out who... Oh, 'cause he's trying to find out who got the DNA evidence?

'''MIKE:''' I don't remem— Don't ask me, man!

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Did we come up with that side of it?

'''MIKE:''' It was hard enough— ''{laughing}'' It was hard enough trying to connect all that stuff together. If it didn't quite work out, that's... not my fault.

'''MATT:''' Look! Bubs has snow cones again!

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

'''MATT:''' Like from... a long, long time ago. The jumping jack cartoon, maybe. ''{as Strong Sad}'' Were you loose-leafin' it with that piece of make-out? ''{back to his regular voice}'' Oh, it's Dangeresque, Mike! ''{pronounced Dangeresque with a hard G sound}''

'''MIKE:''' Is it really Dangeresque, or is it just Strong Bad with the glasses on?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, or is it just Strong Bad's imagination? ''{pause}'' He would never order something ''that'' cool if he wasn't Dangeresque.

'''MIKE:''' That's true.

'''MATT:''' So he's gotta be makin' that up. ''{pause}'' Some... 3dfx drivers, Mike, on his disk there.

'''MIKE:''' Is that what it was?

'''MATT:''' Yeah. He'd just upgraded to a 3dfx card.

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

'''MATT:''' He can play the original Tomb Raider, maybe. That was the first game I ever played with my 3dfx card. ''{pause}'' This is a, uh... a little first here. Uh...

'''MIKE:''' How so?

'''MATT:''' When Homestar picks up this glass and you actually see his—

'''MIKE:''' Evidence that his arms are invisible.

'''MATT:''' Right.

'''MIKE:''' And not that he's telekinetic.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. That he actually has arms, but they're invisible. ''{pause}'' I love that "gross towel" immediately equals Coach Z.

'''MIKE:''' ''{over Matt's previous line}'' Instantly means Coach Z. ''{pause}'' That towel— Coach Z and gross towels— it's been a pretty recent— in the last year or so, there's been a few references to—

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' —towels hasn't there?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' And Coach Z?

'''MATT:''' I don't know if I want to watch The Adventures of Damp Towel Man.

'''MIKE:''' I like his catch phrase!

'''MATT:''' His catch phrase is pretty great. ''{pause}'' Um... DANG! Look at that cleaner!

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

'''MATT:''' That's a great cleaner. ''{pause}'' That was, uh... I was trying to think of— There's some rap song, and I don't even remember what it is, but it was like, "We large like them elephants! We ain't leavin' no eviDENCE!" So...

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' "...no eviDENCE!"

'''MATT:''' That's what Homestar was talkin' about. ''{pause}'' Uh... it helped, making this cartoon, that I had just been— I had just rewatched the original, season one and two of Twin Peaks. The theme song is very heavily Twin Peaks, uh... influenced, I think.

'''MIKE:''' We just got to see Strong Bad's boots off his feet.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' That's another first.

'''MATT:''' Though I think— I feel like this DNA evidence cartoon is actually— makes a little more sense and ties things up a little more neatly than Twin Peaks did.

'''MIKE:''' ''{over Matt's last line, laughing}'' ...than Twin Peaks!

'''MATT:''' ''{as Strong Sad}'' Boo! I don't like food anymore! ''{back to his regular voice}'' Where is this office, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Uh, it's— That is— It's upstairs... uh, above... Bubs's I think.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' Really? There's an upstairs... apartment above Bubs's? ''{pause}'' Smiley Strong Sad. Maniacal-laughing Strong Sad, also. These are all rare— rare occurrences.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, Strong Sad was there, in all these places... watching.

'''MATT:''' He's not very careful, Mike. He forgot that someone was standing one foot away from him. ''{pause}'' Ooh.

'''MIKE:''' Uh oh.

'''MATT:''' Homsar... wins.

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

Strong Bad's (Mis)use of English

Defender1031 — Fri, 22 Oct 2021 06:32:26 GMT

Defender1031: rv, not correct.

[[File:YourInvited.png|thumb|''Your'' invited?]]

''From the [[FeedBurner#Sbemail - Dictionary|FeedBurner page]]:''
<blockquote>"Like two sides of an extremely rare, valuable, and attractive coin, there's Strong Bad the grammar policeman on one hand, and Strong Bad the guy that makes up a buncha crap all the time on t'other."</blockquote>

Although [[Strong Bad]] is quite obsessive about everyone's [[Poorly Written Emails|spelling, grammar, and punctuation]], he still '''makes some of the same mistakes himself'''. Additionally, he has a tendency to make up words, usually during his [[Strong Bad Email|emails]]. It may be [[The Brothers Chaps]]' fault for some of these mistakes, as they are rarely acknowleged in toons.

== Strong Bad's Mistakes ==
*[[The Luau]] — Strong Bad misspells ''you're'' as ''your'' on the invitation to his marshmallow roast.
*Email [[some kinda robot]] — In his very first email, Strong Bad says "before you ''go'' to bed" but types "before you ''got'' to bed."
*Email [[i love you]] — ''[[Fhqwhgads]]'' is misspelled as ''Fhqwgads'', missing the h in between w and g. Ironically, Strong Bad [[sibbie|later]] complains about people misspelling it in emails.
*Email [[i she be]] — Strong Bad types the phrase "all i gotta say..." [[Lowercase i's|The ''i'' isn't capitalized]].
*Email [[duck pond]] — Strong Bad misspells ''unfortunately'' as ''unfortunatley''.
*Email [[band names]] — A space is added before, rather than after, a comma in this email: ''"the easiest way is to ,you know..."''
*Email [[theme party]], [[funny]], [[labor day]], — Strong Bad types ''woah'' instead of ''whoa''.
*Email [[dullard]] — Strong Bad incorrectly uses the one-word adjective ''everyday'' instead of the two-word adverb ''every day''.
*Email [[techno]], [[Greeting Cards]] — Strong Bad uses the possessive form ''its'' instead of the contraction ''it's''. Ironically, he later lampoons Dan D. through song in [[local news]] for the same mistake.
*Email [[cheat talk]], [[the show]], [[date]], [[impression]] — Strong Bad does not capitalize the "''[[Integral Article|the]]''" in [[The Cheat]]'s name.
*Email [[dragon]] — After demonstrating how to draw [[Trogdor]], Strong Bad says, "Let's see how the other students are doing." However, when he types it, he omits the word ''see''.
*Email [[interview]] — Strong Bad catches himself using the phrase ''more better'' in responding to Kerrek.
*Email [[the show]] — Strong Bad first capitalizes ''The Cheat'' as ''the cheat'', then as ''the Cheat''.
*Email [[funny]] — At the beginning of the email, Strong Bad misspells the filename of his email client, ''strongbad_email.exe'', as ''[[Stong Bad|stong]]bad_email.exe''. This was intentionally done by The Brothers Chaps, as it brings up an error message.
*Email [[the process]] — After stating that he makes fun of people's poor grammar and spelling, Strong Bad promptly misspells the word ''occasionally'' as ''occassionally''.
*Email [[local news]] — Strong Mad's subtitle, written on an [[index card]], reads "''Sportscarster'' Strong Mad." Strong Bad seems to be the culprit of this misspelling because it matches his handwriting, and because he threw together the news broadcast.
*Email [[monument]] — After explaining that he was distracted by [[the Thnikkaman]], Strong Bad omits a period: "So you can see why I got distracted".
*Email [[flashback]] — Strong Bad says "less non-broken bones" instead of "''fewer'' non-broken bones".
*[[The Cheatar]] — Strong Bad uses ''than me'' when he should use ''than I am''.
*Email [[pom pom]] — Strong Bad omits the [[Wiki:umlaut|umlaut]] over the "a" in ''Fräulein'' in his letter to "General and ''Fraulein'' Pom Pom."
*Email [[pizzaz]] — The accepted spellings of this email's title, ''pizazz'' and ''pizzazz'', are not used in this email. Strong Bad not only misses this, he even uncharacteristically adopts the misspelling throughout the email.
*Email [[time capsule]], [[garage sale]] — Strong Bad unnecessarily capitalizes ''Mom''.
*Email [[part-time job]] — Strong Bad neglects to use a question mark at the beginning: "What do you mean do I do anything else besides checking emails."
*Email [[origins]] — Curiously, Strong Bad misspells ''curiosity'' as ''curiousity''.
*Email [[bottom 10]] — Though it is spelled properly in the bottom 10 list, the word ''chocolate'' appears as ''chocloate'' on Strong Bad's monitor at the end of the email.
*[[TrogdorCon '97]] — Strong Bad asks The Cheat if they'll be selling "million-sided ''dies''", rather than the correct plural of ''die'', ''dice''.
*Email [[portrait]] —
**The period in "Nobody calls you Coolio da Fabio (aka quit making up nicknames for yourself.)" should be outside the parentheses, rather than inside.
**He uses a period rather than a question mark at the end of "Or what about one of those black and white ink portraits you see in all the rich-guy newspapers."
*Email [[secret identity]] — When Strong Bad asks "have you ever seen [[The Poopsmith]] and I...", it should be "The Poopsmith and ''me''".
*Email [[pop-up]] — Strong Bad types ''four year-old''. As an adjective for the implied noun "child", it should be written ''four-year-old''.
*Email [[unnatural]] — Strong Bad forgets to put a comma after "apostrophes" in "Watch out where you're flinging those apostrophes nobody."
*Email [[web comics]] — Strong Bad ends the sentence "Why can't you just make a...comic." with a period instead of a question mark.
*Email [[business trip]] — Strong Bad says "could've swam better" instead of "could've swum better".
*[[Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective]] — In the second email, Strong Bad's reply omits the word ''is'' in the remark "Dangeresque is a serious guy, okay?".
*Email [[dictionary]] —
**Strong Bad misspells the word ''guttural'' as ''gutteral''.
**Strong Bad says "less words" when he should say "fewer words".
*[[@StrongBadActual]] —
**Strong Bad misspells silhouettey as ''silhouttey'', claiming it to be a misspelled promo for "Silhooty: the silhouette owl that loves typos".
**Strong Bad misspells toilets as ''toilet's''.
**Strong Bad misspells substitute as ''substitue'', claiming it to be the French-Canadian spelling, keeping with the theme of the then-recent [[Decemberween Dangeresque]].

Defender1031: /* Any defenders of this page? */ I'm not sure, I think the scope is pretty clear.

{{tbd}}
==Any defenders of this page?==
The topic doesn't seem notable to me, and it ''definitely'' needs a better commando name if it stays, because the examples on the page are not red herrings. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:39, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
:I'll live up to my name, sure. IF there are more examples than just the two currently listed and IF a better name can be settled on, I think this is a fine concept for a page. TBC often make real-world references that I just don't get nor care to look up, and occasionally it turns out that something that sounds like such a reference is actually just completely made up and not a real thing at all. I would say that the page's scope would be something to the effect of "single mentions of something that sounds specific but does not exist in the real world and is never further explained in-universe", though I'm not sure how to condense that into a good page title. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:44, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
::Just as a follow-up, I was also thinking that perhaps "Stockton" from [[Hremail 2000]] would also fit the scope, though after checking, it seems we currently have it listed as a "likely refers to" and it would require reopening the whole "Art" vs. "on" debate. On the other hand, the concept that this page seems to be going for is EXACTLY the reason I thought it was "Art" rather than "on" despite there not being any athlete with that name, because this is the kind of thing TBC do a lot. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 17:54, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
:::"Things that sound like references but aren't" is an '''extraordinarily''' vague concept, and so subjective that I can't imagine a solid criteria for adding items. ''"Lem Sportsinterviews" could be a reference to a man named Lem, but it's probably not. "Fat Dudley" could be a reference to someone, or maybe not.'' These type of comments simply aren't informative, would everything that is not an explicit reference be linked here? It seems to me that it goes without saying that TBC simply made up most names on the site. Also I agree that these are not red herrings, in particular that term implies ''intention'' by the author which we are assuming here.
:::Maybe something like "realistic-sounding names" (similar to [[Normal-Human Characters]]) is what you're talking about? But even then TBC often use names from their childhood or personal lives (see Ripberger, Beehan) so it's quite possible that there ''are'' references or inside-jokes we simply are not privy to. And furthermore I don't see how this page would be linked to from other articles; it is not good practice to have [[Special:LonelyPages|orphaned pages]] on the wiki. Would we add a "Not References" section to articles and simply link every name of a character or place that is *not* an inside-joke or real-world reference? --{{User:Bleu Ninja/sig}} 18:01, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
::::This is not a good commando page. -[[Special:Contributions/61.204.232.1|61.204.232.1]] 23:39, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
:::::What qualifies as being on this page is incredibly subjective, like said earlier a lot of things could be considered "false real world references" or whatever. Even still this definitely doesn’t feel notable enough to be an actual page. [[User:TheOneAndOnlyDanky|TheOneAndOnlyDanky]] 02:33, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
::::::There was actually [[Talk:False References|a page with a similar name]] not unlike this one. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 03:28, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
:::::::FWIW I think foxwolf was the creator of that page too (twice)
:::::::: You're right. I only vaguely remembered that page, but it was originally created by the StarFox account and then recreated under Wolf O'Donnell. At least that name made more sense. Bleu Ninja gave a pretty good explanation of why this page probably can't work, at least without an extremely well-defined scope. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 12:20, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
:::::::::I stand by my just-over-a-year-ago self (and my just-over-a-year-before-that self) from [[Talk:False references]]. This page as a concept is very subjective, and could grow to encompass basically everything that isn't a known reference. And declaring these as "red herrings" is speculative, as these could be obscure references we don't know of. {{User:Gfdgsgxgzgdrc/sig‎}} 21:09, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
Is this concept any less subjective than [[nondescript nouns]] or [[overdescriptive nouns]]? It seems like it's similar to those... basically stuff that's referred to as if they're things that exist without any further explanation or elaboration. I'd think of calling it something like "Unelaborated Nouns" or something in that direction. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:50, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

==Date==

I'm back to add to the article on a better device. Wasn't there a sbemail where Strong Bad says people already ruined a specific holiday on some random date? [[User:Wolf O'Donnel|Wolf O'Donnel]] 04:48, 8 October 2021 (UTC)

{{watchtoon|pomwhole.html|watch|HR}}
[[Image:isleofpom.PNG|thumb|A motley crew of Poms]]

A short Flash about the origins of Pom Pom, found in the [[Museum]] under old Flash. Based on a sketch from the [[Sketchbook (museum)|Museum Sketchbook]].

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' The [[Poms]], {{Film|Pom Pom}}, [[General and Fraulein Pom Pom]]

'''Running time:''' 1:04

'''CAPTION:''' this is the isle of Pom

''{Alarm clock rings. An arrow points to the pill.}''

'''CAPTION:''' on it, live the Poms

''{Printing noise. Many colored Poms (who look like Pom Pom) appear from the white background. They fill the screen. The mass turns black, revealing Pom Pom}''

'''CAPTION:''' Pom-Pom is the best Pom.

''{Ding! Pom Pom receives a ribbon saying "First".}''

'''CAPTION:''' he loves his mom & dad

''{Picture on wall with Pom Pom and parents. The picture falls off.}''

'''CAPTION:''' he is very patriotic

''{Pom Pom is on a wooden stage. A red and white striped flag appears behind him. He turns into a Pom version of the [[wikipedia:Statue of Liberty|Statue of Liberty]]. Reveille plays.}''

'''CAPTION:''' he feeds his dog

''{A dog bowl falls from a white background. It reads "Trivia Time".}''

== Fun Facts ==

===Trivia===
*This old Flash short contains the first example of [[cross-dressing]].
*When it says, "on it, live the Poms", the Poms come out of the word "Poms".
*This is the first mention of Pom Pom's dog, [[Trivia Time]].

===Remarks===
*Two of the Poms look like ordinary NBA basketballs, and one like an [[ABA Basketball]].
*This is the only time that Pom Pom's bubbly speech is expressed in plain English to the viewers.

===Goofs===
*"Every day" is misspelled "everyday" on one of the slides. In that context, it should be the two-word adverb, not the one-word adjective.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Originally, some of the text was obscured by the border when you watched it from the old version of the old Flash menu. This was fixed when the museum was updated in 2006.

===Real-World References===
*"Isle of Pom" could be a spoof of [[Wikipedia:Isle of Palms, South Carolina|Isle of Palms]], a city located near [[Wikipedia:Charleston, South Carolina|Charleston]], [[Wikipedia:South Carolina|South Carolina]].

===Fast Forward===
*The ribbon was used later in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], although the first place was never awarded.
*The printing noise which accompanies the scene with the Poms would become the sound effect for [[The Paper]] in the [[Strong Bad Email]]s, with its onomatopoeia being [[Preeeeow]].
*The ABA basketball Pom was later used in the email [[different town]].
*The Isle of Pom's design would later be used for health capsules in [[Stinkoman 20X6]].

:The original name ("Isle of Pom") was an assumed name. The toon never had an official name until it was eventually named "Pom Pom, Too" when it was released on DVD. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:00, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

According to the wayback machine, the earliest found date is February 7th, 2003.
:The wayback machine did not archive daily, which means that that date is an approximation that only indicates the LATEST it could have been. It may have been earlier than that by any number of days. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 13:11, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

==Transcript==
''{As usual, the toon starts in the basement of the Brothers Strong; the light dims and the projector screen comes down. The first slide shows a fan wearing a paper mask decorated with markers and tape to look like Marshie with his vampire wig.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Hey, you've forgot that bite chunk ''{the left side of the paper mask flashes in the shape of the missing bite}'' out of Marshie's head! ''{The bite fades}'' ''{uneasily}'' That can't be good.

''{Marshie fades in over the image, wearing his vampire costume}''

'''MARSHIE:''' If I can ever "poomp" back the bite on my head, ''{a series of black strings grow out from the bite chunk, regenerating it into a complete symmetrical wig with a pop and the word "POOMP!"}'' I'll be ''{Marshie's voice slows and deepens}'' unstoppable!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Please don't ever ''{Marshie fades back into the image}'' say "poomp back" ever again.

''{The next image shows a young man wearing a Homestar Runner T-shirt and a red baseball cap wrapped in blue tape with a paper propeller on it. He has the shadow of a mustache.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Aw, this poor sap looks like he was forced to dress up as Mustache Homestar against his will. ''{whispering}'' Are they in the room now? Blink twice if you are under duress, and I'll call for help.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Ob'm know. That guy looks like he could really...

''{Homestar stands up and turns around to face the viewer, revealing that he is wearing a brown mustache. The screen goes dim as colored lines circle around him.}''

''{The next image shows a large mascot-style Homsar standing next to a little girl in front of a parking lot. A back-beat begins to play.}''

''{Flip back to the first Homsar}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Impressive, disturbing, ''{flip back to the Modestly Hot Homsar}'' and makes me uncomfortable!

''{The two Homsar costumes are shown side-by-side, with the lady on the left and the mascot suit on the right. The images slide up and down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Ah, that's the way that we dress up as Homsar for the Halloween holidays!

''{The song ends. The next image depicts someone in a Homestar Runner mask head}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Whoa, nice truck-head Homestar costume!

''{A drawing of a flatbed truck is overlaid over the image of the mask. Commercial music plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' That's right, 2018 Truckhead Homestar!

''{A pop-up sign reading 2018 Truckhead Homestar with a star replacing the "a" in Homestar appears in the upper left}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Built chassis tough!

''{A sign with rivets reading "Chassis Tough" appears on the bottom. A yellow sticker reading 4/2wice appears on the right}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Four over twice posi-taft intakes. So you can drive around all the lumber—

''{Wooden planks appear in the bed of the truck drawing}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —that a dirt road could need.

''{All the ad signs float away, and the drawing of the truck with the mask drives off, leaving a gaping hole where the fan's head should be. The 2018 Truckhead Homestar tag reappears in the empty space.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' 2018 Truckhead Homestar! ''{words appear underneath as Strong Bad says them}'' You probably hunt, right? ''{beat}'' Or... fish?

''{The next image shows a young fan in a Coach Z costume, wearing neon sneakers and standing in front of some trees.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Okay, this is a great Coach Z costume, but I'm warning you, parents. I hope you never run for public office, 'cause this picture will come back to haunt you. ''{imitating a smooth-and-smarmy radio news anchor}'' And today, city councilperson Jorgley Morglin was forced to step down when a photograph surfaced from 2018 showing that they willingly placed their child in a Coach Z costume. ''{The radio news jingle plays}'' You're listening to snooty jerkwad-supported public radio.

''{The next image shows a woman with a yellow blanket with black spots draped over her}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Gah! You inhuman monster! You skinned The Cheat so you could wear his cheat pelt!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' What do you mean, you molt?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You're molting right now? Turn the lights on.

''{Cut to The Cheat standing by the couch. He is shedding off a complete casing of his skin.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Wah! That is so much worse than if you were actually skinned alive!

''{The lights shut off.}''

''{Cut back to the projector. The next image shows a shrugging man wearing glasses and a sign that says "Teeg Dougland" hanging on his neck, standing in front of a blue couch}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I'm afraid I've got some bad news, boys. In addition to not finding an appropriate wig for this costume, I'm afraid our VHS copy of ''Hook''—

''{A small segment of the image is blown up, showing videotapes of ''Hook'' and ''Twister'' on the shelf}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —has finally given out, and we won't be able to watch it on the tour bus. I'm afraid it's nothing but ''Twister'' from Pantsburg to Broiter Grove.

'''LARRY PALARONCINI:''' ''{voiceover}'' I refuse to watch it! It's a black mark on Cary Elwes's career!

''{The next image shows a woman wearing a Coach Z sleeveless top, a purple cap, a white wig and white lipstick and eyeshadow, holding a microphone. The music from before begins to play again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' All together now! ''{singing}'' This is impressive, disturbing, and makes me uncomfortable! Impressive, disturbing, and makes me uncomfortable!

'''COACH Z:''' ''{singing, overlapping}'' This is impressive, disturbing, and makes me uncomfortable! Impressive, disturbing, and makes me uncomfortable!

''{The next image shows a very blurry photo of a fan dressed as D'n'd Greg in front of a shelf full of books and video games. Spooky music plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Ugh, between the creepy lighting—

''{The next image shows a Strong Bad costume, but the fan's mask is so small it does not cover his black, curly hair}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —and the low mega-pixel count, some of these look more like—

''{The next image shows a fan in a Strong Bad mask and oversized glove wearing a blue sleeveless shirt and holding a ukulele over what appears to be Homestar's head on a bed}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —crime scene photos.

''{The next image shows a fan wearing a black cardboard mask with orange tape to resemble Vector Strong Bad, wearing an NES controller T-shirt}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' There comes a time in every Strong Bad's life—

''{The next image shows the same image in the dark. The orange tape is glowing.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —when a fan-made costume just doesn't merit the usual—

''{The next image shows a person wearing a Bubs costume, standing in front of a garage door}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' witty retort. This is one of those times.

''{The next image shows a fan in an Original Bubs costume, in front of the same garage door}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And these are those costumes.

''{The next image shows a boy in a simple Homeschool Winner costume.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' This one is a costume.

''{The next image shows a fan wearing a Strong Bad mask, Everlast gloves, and a shirt with the [[Ab-Abber 2000]] pattern drawn on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And this as well.

''{The next image shows two people standing in a basement snack bar. One is a man dressed as Trogdor. The other is a woman dressed as a burninated peasant lady.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Good effort here.

''{The next image shows a fan with his face covered in white, wearing a flannel shirt, a plaid sweater, and a knit cap, holding a camera.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' An obscure reference.

''{A thumbnail of an old Coach Z costume sketch from the [[Museum]] appears for comparison.}''

''{The next image shows a girl dressed as Peacey P.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Deepest cut.

''{The next image shows a fan in a smiling Strong Bad costume standing on a brick path outdoors, brandishing his muscles.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' There are certain... vagueries I enjoy about this one.

''{The next image shows a backyard, where the scene from [[space program]] in [[Strong Badia]] has been elaborately recreated. A fan dressed as Homestar with his head caught in a sweater is standing on the left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Whoa, look at all this!

''{A still image from the email appears for comparison. As Strong Bad speaks, the respective parts of both scenes are pointed out.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' The milk jug, the sound effects CD, the bust of... well, not Van Buren, but close! The space myoot-ant? The some aluminum foil?

''{Even the tire wearing a headset is compared side-by-side}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' This is no costume! You guys started your own—

''{Flip back to the full image}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}''—sbemail reenactment society!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{voiceover, quivering sheepishly}'' Which is something I've never done!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover, interrupting}'' Sometimes I feel a little guilty, thinking that you guys put way more time and effort into these things than was ever spent on the source material on which it is based.

''{The next image shows a badly lit photo of a shirtless fan wearing a poorly colored paper Strong Bad mask and poorly colored-in paper gloves.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh wait, never mind.

''{A sign with rivets similar to the Chassis Built sign pops up, reading "END".}''

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

''{reading}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' —of Sanka

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

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

''{Said juice appears.}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''STRONG SAD:''' No!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The right side, which is on fire, reads:

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

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

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*"Cut of your jib" is an old sailors' phrase, used to describe the expression on one's face, or the appearance of a ship from afar (the shape of the foresail, or "cut of the jib", described a ship's character). [http://www.bibliomania.com/2/3/255/1168/19836/1/frameset.html]
*Strong Bad's "Noble Peacie Prize" refers to the [[Wikipedia:Nobel Foundation|Nobel Foundation's]] [[Wikipedia:Nobel Peace Prize|Peace Prize]].
*A [[wikipedia:Five and dime|five and dime]] was a type of store popular in the mid-1900s originally selling items such as candy and small toys. Most items sold at these stores were fifteen cents each.
*Strong Bad refers to the Cheat as "my control Cheat", a reference to [[Wikipedia:Treatment and control groups|control groups]] in scientific experiments. Oddly (but unsurprisingly), the "experiment" on Strong Sad appears to lack an actual control group.

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

===Remarks===
[[Image:2mss.PNG|thumb|Is this better or worse than 3 noses?]]
*Strong Bad says "coming in at [[Email Number References|number 91]]" at the beginning of the email. In the email [[flashback]], he says he lost count of his emails somewhere around #51.
*The sound of Strong Sad coming down from his caffeine 'high' is the same sound used in [[gimmicks]] when Strong Bad's Tandy 400 shut down and was about to explode.
*Strong Sad's bulging eye is an upside-down copy of [[Bubs]]'s smaller eye.
*Strong Bad says "my control Cheat", a rare use of The Cheat's name without an [[integral article]].
*When looking at Homestar's project, you can find an invisible "back" button by pressing Tab.
*Strong Bad pronounces the emailer's town as "mur-FREES-bro", while the Tennessee city is actually pronounced "MUR-frees-bo-ro".
*The Easter eggs at the end of the email require holding down the left mouse button and not moving the mouse.
*Strong Sad is moving so erratically, he has two mouths to add to the illusion after Marzipan walks away.
*Strong Bad says his experiment might win a "noble peacie prize" (a reference to the Nobel Peace Prize), despite the fact that the experiment's focus is in the [[Wikipedia:Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine|Physiology or Medicine]] category.

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad types 'in addition to', the D's overlap the A and each other.
*When Strong Sad passes out, Coach Z's hat is doubled for a single frame.

===Inside References===
*"Hockeyjock" is likely a reference to [[personal favorites]].
*Strong Bad says his science fair project was originally going to be "the effects of [[gasoline]] on [[fire]]".
*Strong Sad tells Marzipan he's boarding the [[wood-daver]] [[train]].
*Despite Strong Sad's protests, Strong Bad claims that [[Death#Strong Sad|Strong Sad is dead]] (and adopted).

===Real-World References===
*When reading "TN" Strong Bad says "''Tekken''" instead of "Tennessee". ''[[Wikipedia:Tekken|Tekken]]'' is a popular fighting game by [[Namco]].
*The "shark-mobile" may be a reference to an old [[Wikipedia:Hot Wheels|Hot Wheels]] car called [http://hotwheels.wikia.com/wiki/Sharkruiser "The Sharkruiser."]
*Ironically, [[Wikipedia:Sanka|Sanka]] was the world's first brand of ''decaffeinated'' coffee. Invented in 1903, Sanka was first marketed in the United States in 1923.
*The cadence in Strong Sad's wood-davers speech ("Sell 'em at the corner stores! Sell 'em at the five-and-dime!") may have been inspired by the opening number in the musical ''[[Wikipedia:The Music Man|The Music Man]]''.

===Fast Forward===
*The shark-mobile would be referenced in the [[Weekly Fanstuff 2005#WF-2005-04-21|April 21, 2005 Weekly Fanstuff]].

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

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Strong Sad]], Mike's Strong Sad, [[Mike Chapman]])

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'm going to attempt to help you out on this one, Mike.

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' Ohh, thank you, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, I don't like it when you do that, Mike.

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' I can do you pretty good, though.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, you can't, —

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' It's—

'''STRONG SAD:''' —you don't sound a thing like—

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' I dooo!

'''STRONG SAD:''' You do not!

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' I do tooo!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Ohhh...sorry, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' I'm not—I'm not Canadian!

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' ''{sounding mock-Canadian}'' Ohh, boot a booot!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{quietly}'' What?

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' I'm gonna tell you a story aboot a boooot!

'''STRONG SAD:''' That is...not very a—accurate.

'''MIKE:''' Um...so, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{in response to Strong Bad}'' Tom Waits is always singin' about Murfreesboro.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah? That's in...Tennessee, right?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yeah. He's like, ''{somewhat nonsense, in a very gravelly voice}'' I said on grine goal, and so me saaay.

'''MIKE:''' Well you didn't—

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{underneath}'' That's my—

'''MIKE:''' —say anything about Murfreesboro!

'''STRONG SAD:''' That's my Tom Waits impression.

'''MIKE:''' But you said he was all the time singin' about Murfreesboro.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Mike, the thing that I don't understand ''{Mike laughs, likely at Strong Sad's attempt to change the subject}'' is that Sanka...is... ''{he laughs the tiniest bit at Mike}'' a non-caffeinated, non-coffee pro-duct.

'''MIKE:''' I don't think we knew that. I sin—certainly didn't know that.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{the email Strong Sad is talking to The Cheat}'' Well, I—look, it seems to have had quite an effect on me!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Yeah, it does!

'''STRONG SAD:''' I lost four...days!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' You just don't remember?

'''STRONG SAD:''' No! I...sat down...

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

'''STRONG SAD:''' —...to sit in silence...for four days...

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Uh-huh?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ...as I usually do every four days...and the next thing I know, I—the silence was over! I had missed the four days!

'''MIKE:''' What do you usually remember when you sit there for four days? Do you remember the whole thing?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' Ohh, sometimes there's quiet...

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Uh-huh?

'''STRONG SAD:''' Periods of...uh...sebaceousness.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Uh, I'm not familiar with that word.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Other peri—periods of lethargy...apathy...''{email Strong Sad hangs from the ceiling}'' You think I used those boots? Moon Boots?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, the kind— er, the, uh, Hang-'Em-Up—Hang-'Em-Upside-Downs? 

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' That, uh...

'''STRONG SAD:''' Are those Moon Boots?

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' I dunno!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{chuckling slightly}'' Or are Moon Boots, like, breakdancing boots?

'''MIKE:''' ''{Strong Sad has began smacking Coach Z in the field}'' Look at that! We got two layers of bushes back there, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Things had really overgrown!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Yeah! Strong Mad forgot to mow that week.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Or Marzipan with her new hedge shears.

'''MIKE:''' I don't remember Coach Z without his hat on there.

'''STRONG SAD:''' He looks...I don't like the way he looks. He looks like a mannequin. ''{Mike snickers, pause} {in response to Coach Z}'' I was not trying to jank him!

'''MIKE:''' What ''were'' you trying to do?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I was w—trying to beat the crap out of him! ''{Mike laughs, Matt tries to hold back laughter}'' Look at those...the silhouettes of those people.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Yeah, who is that?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' Those are some...shapely folks.

'''MIKE:''' The guy on the left, is he wearin' a hat?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't know! ''{the Paper comes down}'' Ooh! I said science again!

=== Fun Facts ===
*[[Wikipedia:Tom Waits|Tom Waits]] is an American singer-songwriter well-known for his incredibly gravelly voice, as Strong Sad demonstrates. Waits' voice has been described by one critic as sounding "like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months, and then taken outside and run over with a car." His 1999 song "Pony" mentions Murfreesboro.
*[[Wikipedia:Sebaceous glands|Sebaceousness]] is the noun form of an adjective referring to sebum, an oily secretion which lubricates the skin and hair of mammals such as humans and, presumably, Homestar Runner characters. What it has to do with four days of silence is unclear, though it's possible that Matt, as Strong Sad, simply wanted to use a long and funny-sounding word.
*[[Wikipedia:Moon Boots|Moon Boots]] are a brand of Italian ski boots. It seems more likely that Strong Sad was referring to [[Wikipedia:Gravity boots|Gravity boots]], a type of leg shackles on a frame that allow a person to hang upside-down for extended periods.
*Strong Sad's mention of Marzipan's hedge shears seems to be referring to an item in [[Homestar Ruiner]].
*Strong Sad quotes a Homestar line from [[stupid stuff]] ("I said science again!").

'''Page Title:''' Tomatocycle Season 1 on DVD!

== Transcript ==
''{Open on Strong Mad and Strong Bad sitting on the couch in the basement.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' He said ''he'' thought paunchberry sounded like a ''disgusting'' ice cream flavor. But ''I'' beg to differ.

'''STRONG MAD:''' I THOUGHT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT MOTORCYCLES!

''{Strong Mad pulls out a bike made of wieners and tomato slices; cut to a close-up of the bike and then back to the two on the couch. The Cheat enters screen right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, we probably were. Hey, The Cheat!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{upbeat The Cheat noises, then sings a tune}''

''{The Cheat exits screen left}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, that The Cheat. ''{bass line starts in the background}'' It's like, what is he doing, you know? I mean, where's he goin' to?

''{Cut to The Cheat going down the stairs outside the house. The screen pans right to reveal a low brick wall with graffiti reading "Whatchu Think U Gonna Do?".}''

'''SINGER:''' The Cheat, where you goin' to?
:: And once you get there, whatchu think you gonna do? 

''{Cut to a pile of burning mattresses, which appears to have been piled on top of Strong Sad. The Cheat enters from the left with a clipboard, then tosses it towards the camera.}

'''SINGER:''' Checking up on a mattress fire 
:: That you started couple days ago. 
:: Singin' baritone in Marzipan's choir 
:: (But please don't let Strong Bad know) 
:: Nobody knows...

''{Zoom out on a slate that reads "Marzipan's not-dumb choir" to reveal Marzipan entering from screen right, wearing a robe and a book marked "HIMS". The Cheat and Cardboard Homestar are similarly dressed on screen left.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' This part's in D.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{tries to sing, but sounds more like a growl; Cardboard Homestar's head moves}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ooh, that's not D.

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

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{sings again, higher pitch}''

''{Cut back to two-shot.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' How about C?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{even higher, angry The Cheat noises}''

''{The Cheat throws the book, knocking down Cardboard Homestar. Marzipan looks scared. The Cheat removes his robe.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ehh, close enough.

''{Marzipan starts singing along with the singer.}''

'''SINGER and MARZIPAN:''' The Cheat, where you goin' to?

''{The Cheat exits behind Marzipan screen right. Cut to a shot of Homestar walking in the field.}''

'''SINGER and HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And once you get there, whatchu think you gonna do?

'''SINGER:''' Hitchin' a ride on Homestar's leg 
::Stealin' all his melonade

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey!

'''SINGER:''' Get a freelance animation job—

''{Powered By The Cheat, on [[Monosodium Dreams]]:}''

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT STRONG BAD:''' —and make the best cartoon that's ever been made!

''{Full-screen scene of a Powered by The Cheat Bubs' Concession Stand, marked "dub's C"; The Cheat starts singing backup.}''

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT COACH Z:''' Hey there, Bubs in the store. Paunchberry's was a new ice cream!

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT BUBS:''' I can't even reach the top.

''{Bubs waves towards a stack of ice cream containers that reaches into the sky. Cut to The Cheat, wearing a shirt that reads "Paunch", Strong Mad, smiling and the word "Berry" on his singlet, and Strong Bad, "icéd cream" written on him, dancing in front of a wall of ice cream containers}''

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT COACH Z:''' Hey, it's the paunchberry ice cream dancing team.

''{The Cheat stops singing.}''

'''SINGER:''' The Cheat—

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapping}'' Viral.

''{Cut back to regular action; The Cheat walks along the top of the brick wall and then flies off the end with a dashed path trailing him.}''

'''SINGER:''' —where you goin' to? 
::And once you get there, whatchu think you gonna do? 
::Headin' down to the gymnasium 
::Gonna do some lay-up drills 
::I'm not sure if that's something you would normally do 
::But you should brush up on your basketball skills
::With some lay-up drills
::Lay-up drills

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

'''SINGER:''' ''{softly}'' No lay-up drills?

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

''{The Cheat moves his arm, the scoreboard falls, and the room gets darker.}''

'''SINGER:''' Flaming lay-up drills?

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

'''SINGER:''' The Cheat likes flaming lay-up drills 
::I'm glad we compromised with flaming lay-up drills 
::Ah, f'rllz, oh tell me what's the dealz 
::You got the wills, the skills, the flaming lay-up drills 
::The Cheat, where you goin' to? 
::And once you get there, whatchu think you gonna do? 
::The Cheat, whatchu gonna did 
::The day is done so won'tchu close that barbecue... lid

''{The Cheat hops onto the King of Town's barbecue grill and closes the lid. Cut back to Strong Bad and Strong Mad in the basement. The tomato-wiener bike is in a heap on the floor.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I dunno. Maybe he's just going to the ATM machine.

'''STRONG MAD:''' THAT'S REDUNDANT!

''{A card comes down that reads "end" with "ATM machine = automatic teller machine machine" written underneath.}''

== Fun Facts ==
=== Explanations ===
* The phrase "ATM machine" is an example of [[Wikipedia:RAS syndrome|RAS syndrome]].
* The word "VIRAL" flashing on the screen at the end of The Cheat's cartoon refers to [[Wikipedia:Viral video|viral video]], an online video that gets quick widespread popularity.
* A [[Wikipedia:Freelancer|freelance]] job is one where a person works as an independent contractor, rather than long-term for an employer.

=== Trivia ===
*When Marzipan says "This part's in D", the song is in the key of E major (while most of the song is in E minor). Likewise, the first two notes The Cheat sings for her are E's.
*The [[YouTube]] description for this video is "A musical glimpse into a day in the life of The Cheat."

=== Remarks ===
*Although it is suggested that The Cheat is exiting the [[House of the Brothers Strong]] at the beginning of the song, the house he is actually seen walking out of is usually depicted as being [[Homestar Runner's House]].
*The Cheat has been given a new walking animation in this toon.
*The notes The Cheat sings are substantially higher than the typical range of a baritone.
*Even though the scoreboard fell to the ground, it appears back on the wall moments later.
*Although they are indicating that "ATM Machine" is redundant, the [[Downloads]] menu uses PIN#, another case of RAS Syndrome.

=== Goofs ===
*After the song cuts back to Strong Bad and Strong Mad, Strong Bad had his face off of his mask for a single frame.
*In the scene where The Cheat goes to the barbecue grill, the shadow from the grill doesn't move when the Cheat closes it.

=== Inside References ===
*The Cheat is seen [[flying]] and [[The Cheat Smiling|smiling]] at the same time.
**The Cheat smiles twice in this cartoon. The second one is a much bigger smile than the first one.
*The Ice cream containers read icéd cream, which is The Cheat's attempt at [[-èd]].
*Marzipan's choir books read "HIMS", a [[homophone]] for the more appropriate "Hymns". This spelling also appeared in [[Happy Dethemberween]].
*The Cheat steals Homestar's [[Melonade]].
*The Cheat lights the rim of the [[basketball]] hoop with the [[BMW lighter]].
*This short begins with an [[interrupted conversation]].
*A [[Limozeen]] flyer can be seen on the telephone pole.
*Marzipan's board says "Marzipan's [[Not X|Not]]-Dumb Choir".
*The bulging stomach seen on the ice cream containers in The Cheat's cartoon resembles one partially seen in [[your funeral]].
*The phrase "whatchu gonna did?" was used in Homestar's speech as the Jack 'Em Up Kid in [[yes, wrestling]]. The term "[[portmanteau|gymatorium]]" was also used in that email.
*The "i" in "LOADiNG" is [[Lowercase i's|lowercase]].
*The [[Trading Cards|trading card]] of The Cheat's "Lay-up drills" is similar to the trading card of [[Pom Pom]] as an ABA basketball in [[different town]].
*The Cheat's red [[headband]] resembles [[Fightgar]]'s.


===Real-World References===
*The song bears some resemblance to "Little Birdie" from the [[Peanuts]] special ''[[Wikipedia:A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving|A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving]]''. The erratic path and trailing dotted line when The Cheat flies off of the brick wall is reminiscent of the subject of that song, [[Wikipedia:Woodstock (Peanuts)|Woodstock]].
*The mattress fire bears some resemblance to the Springfield Tire Fire from [[The Simpsons]].
*The conversation in the beginning about paunchberries and motorcycles is a reference to the TV show [[Wikipedia:CHiPs|CHiPs]], in which one of the main characters was named "Ponch", and in the show he was a Motorcycle Cop.

===Fast Forward===
*The Tomatocycle was seen again in [[A Decemberween Mackerel]].

'''Page Title:''' Hey There, Doughnut Rush!

==Transcript==
''{Homestar is seen cutting out dough rings in Marzipan's Kitchen. Marzipan enters}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, that's sweet! Are you making me homemade doughnuts for the 16th anniversary of our 17th breakup?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, no. No way. Um, no way. You know how I've always dreamed of being my own boss at the doughnut factory!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{looking annoyed}'' No, since when?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Why, just last night! ''{Clouds fill the screen, then recede to the edges. A scene depicting Homestar's dream is shown. He is seen wearing a shirt with the Mexican flag on it, standing next to a high-jumping pit. He has only one leg} {voiceover}'' I dreamt that I was a French long-jump champion with eight wooden legs!

'''MARZIPAN:''' And...that made you want to start a doughnut shop?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes sir! Like I said, it's a boyhood dream of mine. Could you pass me that recipe?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Picks up a small note from the table}'' There's just this square of TP that says... ''{cut to a close-up of the note}'' "dog-nut" on it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, yeah. That's it. My secret recipe.

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Sighs}'' I'm gonna go talk to anyone else but you.

''{Cut to The Field. Homestar is in a makeshift doughnut stand formed from a large [[cardboard box]] marked "Do-Nots" with a window cut out of it. A fat fryer can be seen bubbling in the back.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I honestly wonder how many million doughnuts I'll sell on my first day. Three? Four? Eight? I've gotta be ready for the 3:09 p.m. doughnut rush, you know? Ooh, here it comes.

''{Bubs, with a red face and an exceptionally furious expression, enters from the right. As he speaks, cartoon smoke clouds emit from his head.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{with forced restraint}'' Well, hello, Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey there, doughnut rush. What can I get for you?

'''BUBS:''' ''{continuing his forced restraint}'' It's really great to very see you, Homestar!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{nervous}'' Umm... it's good to see you, too, I guess.

''{As Bubs says the following, we cut to a shot revealing that Homestar's stand is right next to Bubs', facing it, and that Homestar's legs are outlined under the window in dotted lines}''

'''BUBS:''' I'm ''delighted'' you've decided to set up shop about ''ten feet away'' from me!

''{cut back to Homestar and Bubs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, we could be a conglomerate, like KFC-Taco Bell-Radisson-Texas Instruments-NASA!

'''BUBS:''' Yes! That is a really ''{holding out his right fist}'' outstanding ideeeaaaa! ''{places his fist down}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, Bubs? Are we in a fight?

''{as Bubs speaks, his face slowly returns to its normal blue color}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{slightly calmer}'' What do you think, man?! You opened up a competing doughnut place right across the street from me!

''{zooms out to the gap between the stores. Note that there is no street, but a field}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' The street?

''{Bubs and Homestar both examine the grass between the two stands}''

'''BUBS:''' Right across the way from me!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But I thought you sold questionable medical coverage.

''{Cut to a close-up of Bubs, with his Concession Stand visible in the background with a sign "Why not Donuts?" on the original sign.}''

'''BUBS:''' That was two hours ago. ''{changes to his normal expression, now speaking normally}'' Now I'm in the doughnut bidness. ''{with a straight line eyebrow}'' How's that coverage working out for you, by the way?

''{Cut back to the two and the box.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{holds up a big stack of paperwork}'' Great so far!

'''BUBS:''' ''{back to an angry face}'' I gotta get ready for the big 3:09 p.m. doughnut rush. When next we meet, 'twill be on the doughnut field of battle! ''{Cut to a silhouette of the scene. Bubs marches to his stand imitating a military drum cadence}'' Dubba dup dup dup, dubba dup dup dup, dubba dup dup da daa ba dup dup dup!

''{Cut to a shot of a clock that strikes 3:09. Cut back to a shot of the two stands. The King Of Town appears in a puff of smoke.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oof! All right, gentlemen, here's how this is gonna go down. I need fried dough so bad it hurts! According to the data I got back from Taco Bell-NASA, ''{places a hefty stack of paperwork on the ground}'' we're gonna need in the 3 to 8 million range to maintain my caloric intake. Now, commence marketing bombardment!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Mine's is homemade! ''{holds up a spoon with some doughnut batter and a few hairs on it}''

'''BUBS:''' Mine's is shipped from a 3rd world country named Homemáde, so I can legally print "From Homemade" on the prepackaged package. ''{holds up a package of his doughnuts that says "FROM HOMEMÁDE!"}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I've got grit, gumption, and an adorable speech ''{exaggerating his usual speech impediment}'' impootaboot.

''{The King of Town pops his crown up in surprise and turns to see an angry Bubs putting his right arm in a curl.}''

'''BUBS:''' My name's Bubs, I talk hard and fast.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Available in 57 different varieties!

'''BUBS:''' One flavor ''{the word "regular" appears above his head}'', over a hundred different names for it! ''{various names that all are variations of "regular" appear around Bubs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{holds up a newspaper}'' Marzipan raves "Hey! Get outta my kitchen, you!"

'''BUBS:''' ''{cut to a shot of a box of toothpaste labeled "Bubs' Donuts!"; as he says each description, it appears onscreen}'' Fights Cavities! Cleans Teeth! ''{A cartoon Bubs appears in the bottom right corner, bearing the following message in a speech bubble}'' The American Dental Association does not approve the preceding statements.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' All right, all right, all right. You both make excellent cases, but I've come to my decision.

'''BUBS:''' ''{sticks his right arm out in alarm}'' Health Inspector! Cheese it, everyone!

''{Bubs closes his stand}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ooh! ''{he disappears in another puff of smoke}''

''{Strong Bad, in silhouette, is seen coming up and walks towards Homestar with a clipboard in his hand.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey potential customer, would you like several million doughnuts?

'''STRONG BAD:''' No. I don't want ''one''.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But do you dough-''not'' want one? Hmmm?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm the health inspector, here to hopefully shut you down. Now rub this swab under your grease trap and bring it back.

''{Homestar takes the swab and rubs it on the fat fryer.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes sir, Inspector Heath! ''{Homestar starts humming the theme to Inspector Gadget}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{To himself}'' ...And we'll do a little ''{rolls the l}'' bit of ''this''! ''{Strong Bad slaps a note marked "F" on the side of Homestar's stand, causing it to fall over. Smoke begins to rise from it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah! My face!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughs and walks away}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' My delicious fried face! Bubs, is this covered by my questionable medical coverage? At least questionably so? Bubs?

''{Cut to a long shot of both stands in silhouette. Bubs opens the back of his stand and is seen sneaking away.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{to the tune of "Mysterioso Pizzicato"}'' Root, root, root, root, doodloodloodloodloodloo, doot doot doot doo...

''{A circle of "ends" appears, the top of which is pink. A back button appears.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
* The toon's title is a pun on the [[Wikipedia:Ethic of reciprocity|ethic of reciprocity]], commonly known as the "Golden Rule", which is often expressed as "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
*Bubs's line about being able to legally say his doughnuts are "from Homemade" is a reference to an [[Snopes:business/genius/usa.asp|urban legend]] in which Japan supposedly renamed one of its cities to "Usa" in order to claim that its products were "Made in USA".
*The music Bubs hums at the end is a piece called "Mysterioso Pizzicato" and is commonly used as stock music for sneaking characters or villains.

===Trivia===
*The [[News Articles|newspaper]] reads:
{| style="border-collapse: collapse; border: 3px solid #999"
| style="color:#999; font-family:Times New Roman,serif; font-size:1.5em; line-height:1em; padding:5px; text-align:center;" | The Imaginary Newspapes
|-
| style="font-family:Times New Roman,serif; font-size:2em; padding:5px; text-align=center;" |MARZIPAN RAVES:

| style="color:#999; font-family:Times New Roman,serif; font-size:1.25em; text-align:center;" | Hey! Get outta my kitchen, you!
|-
| style="font-family:Times New Roman,serif; font-size:1.1em;" | FCUSA - The Marzipan was stunned today when she woke to find a totally legit donut  enterprise operating out of her own dang kitchen. Mexican high jumper Homestar Garcia Colon was unavailable for comment but French long jumper Chateau 'Octo' Etoile broke out the ol' soft shoe.

*Removing Bubs' silhouette at the end of the toon with a Flash decompiler reveals that he's wearing [[The Thnikkaman]]'s "tH".
*The [[YouTube]] description for this toon is "Homestar Runner opens his very own doughnut stand."

===Remarks===
*[[Trivia Time]] can be seen in the Kitchen.
*In Marzipan's kitchen, the sink seen in [[Where's The Cheat?]] has disappeared.
*When Bubs warns that the health inspector is coming, he looks and points in a direction different from the one from which Strong Bad (as a health inspector) comes.
*Though he dreamt he was a French long-jump champion with eight wooden legs, Homestar is seen with a [[Spanish|Mexican flag]] on his shirt with one leg in front of the high jump. ''(See Real-World References)'' ''(See Inside References)''
*As evidenced by the mat behind him, Homestar appeared to be in a high-jump competition, not a long-jump.
*Bubs's larger eye changes color depending on the color of his skin.
*The King of Town says "I've come to my decision" at the 3 minute 9 second mark of the cartoon, taking "the 3:09 doughnut rush" to new levels.
*The King of Town says he'll need 3 to 8 million doughnuts to maintain his caloric intake, which would be 780 million to 2.08 billion calories, if Homestar's and Bubs's offerings are similar to a Dunkin' Donuts regular glazed doughnut (260 calories).

===Goofs===
[[Image:Bubs_head_fade_glitch.png|thumb|I'm delighted you've decided to set up a solid color line about ten feet away from me!]]
* Homestar's "secret recipe" is not on the table before he has his dream flashback.
* A line on Bubs's face delays changing color when he calms down after arguing with Homestar.
* As Strong Bad enters the scene in a silhouette, the left side of Homestar's doughnut stand is not completely touching the ground.
**As well, a piece of the yellow background is visible underneath the bottom-right corner of Bubs' Concession Stand, as if it were not level on the ground.
* When closing his eyes while speaking to Strong Bad, a part of Homestar's eye does not disappear, resulting in a small black spot on his forehead.

===Inside References===
*Homestar claims he was a [[French]] long-jump champion. The French name in the newspaper, "Chateau Etoile", roughly means "Home Star". ''(See Remarks)''
*Homestar writes his secret recipe on [[toilet paper]].
*Strong Bad [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]] in this short.
*Strong Bad pulls the F slip out of [[hammerspace]].
*In Homestar's newspaper, Marzipan is once again referred to as "The Marzipan" as she was in [[Date Nite]]. This is another example of [[integral article]]s before names.
*When the Health Inspector comes up, Bubs says, "Cheese it!", which is what Strong Bad says to Strong Mad and The Cheat when they steal Marzipan's radish in [[The Reddest Radish]].
*Homestar also used the words "Dough-''not''" in place of "not" in [[Weclome Back]].
*"Do-Nots" is phonetically similar to the phrase "doe not", used by Senor Cardgage in [[Senorial Day]] ("You doe NOT want to miss any Senorial Day savings action!!")
*The song played when Bubs and Homestar "fight over" the King of Town is also played during [[No Hands on Deck!]].
*The fanfare playing during Homestar's dream sequence is the last half of the 2007 [[Strong Badathlon]]'s fanfare.
*The newspaper mentions Marzipan's "[[Own Dang X|own dang]] kitchen".
*Bubs is said to sell [[Questionable Services|questionable]] medical coverage.

===Real-World References===
* Homestar hums the theme to [[Wikipedia:Inspector Gadget|Inspector Gadget]].
* The flag that Homestar wears in his dream is the [[Wikipedia:Flag of Mexico|flag of Mexico]].
* The companies that Homestar lists as a conglomerate are real companies:
** [[KFC]] and [[Wikipedia:Taco Bell|Taco Bell]] are restaurants owned by [[Wikipedia: Yum! Brands|Yum! Brands]] that often share a building.
** [[Wikipedia:Radisson Hotels|Radisson]] is a hotel chain owned by [[Wikipedia:Carlson Companies|Carlson Companies]].
** [[Texas Instruments]] is a semiconductor and electronics maker.
**[[Wikipedia: NASA|NASA]] is the United States space agency, not part of a conglomerate.
*Homestar's line about "57 different varieties" refers to the slogan of the American condiment company [[Wikipedia:H. J. Heinz Company|Heinz]].

''{pronounces "sbmail" as written. The "~" is accompanied by a sound like a cassette tape playing unevenly, and "VA" is pronounced "V-A"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I think we should ''seriously'' talk about your name, Roxy. I'm afraid your career choices may be limited to a Limozeen groupie or maybe an American Gladiator. ''{clears screen}'' Something involving you wearing scantily clothes. You don't meet too many Professors of Women Studies named Roxy. As for business trips, The Cheat and I are being sent to a conference in a just a few seconds here. ''{stops typing}'' The Cheat, you ready to ro'?

''{cut to wider shot of Homestar Runner standing next to Strong Bad's computer}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sure am, Sam!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, you're not The Cheat.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Nah, not any more. The Cheat got promoted to ''{cut to a portrait of The Cheat in a business suit}'' Junior Executive Of Not Having To Go On Pointless Business Trips.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?! I've been trying to get that job for years.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So, it's just going to be me and you. Sleepin' out under the stars. Roasting some ''{in his old voice}'' a-marshmallows.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, this is a ''business'' trip, not a camping trip.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. Oh, I see. I guess I shouldn't have brought these, then. ''{Pan over to a stack of cans marked "Pork [[b/w]] Beans"}''

''{Diamond iris out to The Field, next to a sign that reads "Annual Symposium Conference Lecture Seminar Series Registration"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, Homestar. We got to start talking loudly about our business trip, so that everyone around us knows we're on a business trip. ''{speaking a little louder}'' Uh, continental breakfast? More like, ''in''-continental blech-fast. ''{As he says "blech," the top and bottom of his mouth wiggle}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angrily}'' Yeah, seal the deal! ''{wider shot with Homestar wearing the pork b/w beans cans on his feet}'' Seal the deal!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, what are those jangles? ''{Close up of the cans}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, airport security. You know how it is these days. Roll my eyes. ''{Homestar's eye highlights rotate}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, hurry up. We've got to get there before the keynote starts so we can ditch out five minutes after the keynote starts.

''{push wipe to Strong Sad wearing [[cool shades|glasses]] and holding a clip board. He is standing on the soapbox, but one of his feet has punched through the top.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{flatly}'' Welcome to Reducing Your Business's Carbon Footprint Is Not A Matter of Buying Everyone Smaller Shoes. Please allow me to begin.

''{Reverse shot to Strong Bad and Homestar}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's our cue. ''{they sneak out}''

''{Cut back to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ...And we'll go ahead and break for lunch.

''{Diamond iris out to The Bar, medium shot of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Man, there's nothing like a couple of ice cold Expen$e Account Ones while on a business trip.

''{Cut to a wide shot of Homestar and Strong Bad. Homestar is wearing six lanyards.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Boy, I'll say. I've been going nuts with our lanyard per diem.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let's see what's next on the itinerary. ''{Cut to the itinerary. As items are checked off, check marks appear.}'' Take off wedding rings, check. Complain about hotel mattress, check. Talk about how our dogs are killing us...''{squiggly line appears}'' we're not quite there yet. Collect dry twigs for kindling? ''{This is written in blue ink, with a silly picture of Homestar drawn next to it}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{off-screen}'' That's a check.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meet hot female executives for drinks. ''{Cut back to Homestar and Strong Bad. Strong Bad looks around.}'' Um... mostly check? Oh crap! ''{Cut back to the checklist. "Mostly check" is a check made from a dotted line}'' We've got to seal the deal with the foreign conglomerate in ten minutes!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Homestar has leapt into Strong Bad's arms}'' And not a moment too soon! I think I heard a bear rustling in the woods!

''{Iris out to The King of Town's castle. A gong is heard. The King of Town is wearing a tag saying "Foreign Conglomerate"}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' All right, gentlemen, here's how this is going to go down. I'm gonna write a number on this piece of paper.

''{Reverse shot to Homestar and Strong Bad. The King of Town slides the paper with an obvious bulge to the pair.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, King, you wrote a piece of lasagna on this piece of paper.

''{Cut back to The King of Town.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' And I ain't budging! Now, where are those units?

''{Reverse shot}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What units? I thought we were just here to seal the deal.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, Strong Bad wouldn't let me bring all of them. But I did manage to smuggle these two ''{holds up the Pork b/w Beans cans}'' past airport security.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the sense-make?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' All right, I'll take it! You boys drive a soft bargain. Poopsmith! Prepare the bathtub!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, cramp my style. We sealed the deal! Go ahead, Homestar. You— you've earned it.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Homestar puts his feet up on the table}'' My dogs are killing me!

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But the real reason for business trips is to buy last minute peanut brittle and crappy souvenirs from airport gift shops for your kids!

''{Cut to the Cheat on the computer table, with a windup airplane that says "I ♥ St. Louis" floating in a fish bowl}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, see, it's an airplane! That swims! And loves St. Louis!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{annoyed The Cheat noises and then walks off}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Fine, then. Strong Mad will appreciate it.

'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{off-screen}'' NO I WON'T!

''{The airplane sinks and [[New Paper]] comes down}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The peanut brittle could've swam better than that.

===Remarks===
*Though the cans of pork b/w beans are curved, the text on the labels remains straight.
*In the [[New Stuff]] preview, the cans strapped to Homestar's feet lack the labels they do in the toon itself.

('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Puppet Character Variations#Puppet Homestar Runner|Puppet Homestar]])

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Mike, you and I have been on many business trips together.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, it's the Homestar puppet, everyone. ''{chuckles}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's right! Can you hear my— Hear, hear me smack 'em! ''{the puppet "snaps" into the mic}'' That's my— that's my mouth.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Your gums?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yep.

'''MIKE:''' Teeth?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Flappin' my... felts.

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I call it "flappin' the felt...s"!

'''MIKE:''' Um... so yeah. You usually travel in a duffel bag, and Matt stuffs all his clothes up inside the puppet so it doesn't get all crumbly.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I got to maintain my shape!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Yeah, that's right.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sometimes, I get a crinkle body.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Uh-huh.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I get crinkle bodied. That's bad news.

''{pause}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, we got sent— we got sent to conferences all the time, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' Uh, a couple times.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's you and me, because Strong Bad— that Strong Bad puppet is ''too'' heavy. And cumbersome.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Uh... very cumbersome and heavy. I like your puppet.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Did you have to get that little plaque custom made for The Cheat there?

'''MIKE:''' I did. Up at the trophy shop. Suburban Trophy Shop upstairs.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I bet that was— what do they call it? I bet it was ''die'' cut.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, it did need to be die cut. That's an extra ''four'' dollars.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, dang.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, so, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' When we travel, we like to expense everything, right?

'''MIKE:''' That's right.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I keep the receipts.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Yeah?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' Um... what kind of stuff do we expense that maybe we shouldn't?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, man. One time, I got a, I got a free toothbrush from the hotel lobby.

'''MIKE:''' Okay...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' The kind that has the toothpaste in the handle.

'''MIKE:''' That exists?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, yeah!

'''MIKE:''' I didn't know about that...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{overlapping}'' It's really bad.

'''MIKE:''' But... you said it was free.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' And so, is that...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{overlapping}'' I expensed it out! It looked like an expensive piece of toothbrushery!''

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Well, it was free!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{overlapping}'' I said it cost twelve-ninety five!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Oh, I see.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' That's pretty clever.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And then another time, I did something totally different, where I got the free razor from the front desk of the hotel.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Kinda the same thing, but then you charged...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And it was— No, it was completely different thing. And it was a razor.

'''MIKE:''' Twelve ninety-five?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No! I broke it! ''{Mike laughs}'' Yeah, right in front of the guy's face. I was like, "Can I have one of those free razors?" And then the guy said "Excuse me, sir. Oh, yeah. Absolutely." And he gave it to me.

'''MIKE:''' He said "excuse me, sir" after you asked— after you asked him a question; he said, "Excuse me, sir"?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, that's how they—

'''MIKE:''' That's not an appropriate response. ''{laughs}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's politeness! It's how they talk at the front desk! They start every sentence with "Excuse me, sir"! It's in the employee handbook.

'''MIKE:''' All right.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And, um...

'''MIKE:''' Did you expense the dry kindling?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes. I did. I went in and I sent all those, um— what do you call them? Lanyards?

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Lanyards. Yep.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I sent all those lanyards to eBay.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Just sent them to eBay?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh-huh-huh.

'''MIKE:''' What did they do with them?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I dunno!

'''MIKE:''' Maybe they just threw them in the trash.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{simultaneously}'' It was— it was a donation and I wrote it off.

'''MIKE:''' Wow.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' See, you really need to get me to tax you down.

'''MIKE:''' ''{chuckling}'' I will hire you to be my tax-you-down man next April.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's right! Look at all that grease from that ol' lasagna ''{pronounced la-ZAN-ya}''.

''{pause}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{when Homestar on screen holds up the Pork b/w Beans in the King of Town's castle}'' Yeah, that was— It was like you said, Mike. We stuff those things inside the body.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, to hold the shape.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' To hold my girlish figure. ...Um...

'''MIKE:''' What else about business trips? I've never been on one, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, you better look out.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I did one.

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yep.

'''MIKE:''' Did you have to go on any—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You know what you do?

'''MIKE:''' —client dinners?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No one is going to ask you about the conference you were supposed to have gone to.

'''MIKE:''' Right.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So, you can just walk around all day.

'''MIKE:''' Oh. And down at the— down at the fish market, maybe?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' In Seattle.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, maybe. ''{pause}'' Oh, remember that guy, he'd swim, he's a big long flipper swim?

'''MIKE:''' Scuba Man.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Why didn't nobody's dad bring that back?

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' I'll bring one back to you next time.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks.

===Fun Facts===
*The fish market in Seattle to which Mike refers is likely [[Wikipedia:Pike Place Market|Pike Place Market]], a famous landmark. This farmer's market has several seafood sellers prominently located.

Talk:Lesser Value

Defender1031 — Wed, 16 Dec 2020 00:40:55 GMT

Defender1031: /* Relevance? */ Is this what you're thinking of.

{{ttbd}}
== Relevance? ==
This is a common phrase and is not used in an unusual manner. The one possible expection is [[part-time job]] where he says that you get a free cup of ice with purchase of another one of equal or lesser value, meaning that the free thing you get is of GREATER value than what you paid for. Even that one instance doesn't seem THAT unusual though, it seems more like Strong Bad is just half-tweesing it and kinda just jumbling his lines. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:59, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
:No one ever says "equal or lesser value" as far as I've heard my whole life. [[User:Wolf O'Donnel|Wolf O'Donnel]] 05:59, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
::Ok. I guess I must've been confused. Go ahead and delete. [[User:Wolf O'Donnel|Wolf O'Donnel]] 06:05, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
:::I think it's easy to miss how non-standard the usage of the phrase is here. Please refer to Defender1031 of {{pl|l=http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=The_King_of_Town%27s_Character_Video&diff=780704&oldid=780703 two years ago}}. ;) I myself had to look at this a few times before gaining a better understanding of what was going on. The [[part-time job]] entry is the same: the goal of such a sale is to guarantee a minimum purchase value, not a maximum. Even the [[Cool Things]] entry by itself is weird: the usual practice is that you'd be able to exchange a return for something of equivalent value at the very least! --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 08:48, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
::Wasn't there a cartoon where they're looking through a graveyard and Bubs points out a dead relative who invented the term? [[User:Wolf O'Donnel|Wolf O'Donnel]] 00:27, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
:::I think you're thinking of [[Most in the Graveyard]] where Bubs says "There's my great-great-grandpappy's cousin Harold! He discovered the bait and switch! Ooh, and this is his brother Mort!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' A-just scrape some email off the top, and I'll help you out toniiiight!

<blockquote class="lappy email"><div>subject: the chair.</div>
D to the ear Strong Bad, That chair you're sitting on doesnt look very comfortable. When are you going to get a new, less hardwood, big, office manager-style comfy computer chair? Yours truely, Keith, PA</blockquote>

''{pronounces "D to the ear" as "Duh to the ear", "doesnt" as "dohs-n-t" (with extra emphasis at the end of the word), and "truely" as "treh-leh", and reads "Keith, PA" as "Keith and Pa"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh! It's a father-son email picnic! ''{typing}'' Y to the ou ''{pronounced "Yeah to the oo"}'' don't know ''what'' you're talkin' about, Pakeithpsy. Stooly here is a tush-cheek's dream. So cottony squish and pillowy fresh. ''{Zoom out to show Strong Bad leaping off of the stool.}'' Take a look-see!

''{Zoom in to the seat, which is filthy and has the word "STANK" seeping out of it at various spots.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, it's been upgraded to Stank...

''{A face fades onto the seat of the stool and coughs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Eeew... Maybe it ''is'' time for a re-imagining of my email-checkin' chair...

'''STOOLY:''' ''{coughs again}'' I just need a lozenge...

''{Cut to Strong Bad standing outside Bubs' Concession Stand, with the camera centered behind Bubs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Bubs!

'''BUBS:''' Hey, customer!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What do you got in the way of things I can sit on whilst I check emails?

''{cut to the front of the concession stand}''

'''BUBS:''' Ooh! Lucky for you! I just got ''{places a box on the counter}'' this pre-owned box of chicken beaks in just now! Like ''right'' just now!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay. Okay. Okay... But, you got anything less anthrax-y?

'''BUBS:''' I got this old Winger album! ''{holds up the record case}''

''{cut to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, yeah... that ''is'' less Anthrax-y. But I was kinda hoping for a chair of some kind.

''{cut to Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' Step right into my showroom!

''{Bubs slides away to his right. Cut to the side of Bubs' Concession Stand. As Strong Bad walks around, a portion of the wall falls outward, revealing a conveyor belt. Bubs rides on it standing on one foot.}''

'''BUBS:''' Zzzzziiiiiiiip! ''{jumps off conveyor belt}'' All right! We'll start at the tip, and work our way to the tup!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You make less sense every day, Bubsy.

'''BUBS:''' Crabadonk!

''{The wall flips back up, then falls down again, revealing a red, white and blue bicycle seat on the conveyor belt.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, that's no chair! ''{zoom in on the seat}'' That's Red, White, and Banana! My old bicycle seat!

''{Cut to a [[Projections|film-projected]] scene of Li'l Strong Bad riding the bicycle seat outside a porch.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I used to ride that thing on my paper route all the time!

''{Li'l Strong Bad lights a newspaper on fire with a [[BMW Lighter|Duplo lighter]] and throws it at the house. As it bounces off the door, the door begins to emit smoke, and Li'l Strong Bad laughs. Cut back to Strong Bad and Bubs.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No, I'd better pass on that. I had a few too many wipeouts on that thing as a kid.

'''BUBS:''' Ugh! You nasty!

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

''{The wall rises again, and falls down with a chair shaped like Homestar Runner on it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What makes you think I want to check-a my email on a Homestar Runner-shaped chair?

'''BUBS:''' Aw, come on. Give it a try!

''{Strong Bad jumps onto the chair}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER CHAIR:''' Ow.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{jumping out of the chair}'' Wah!

'''BUBS:''' Whoops, seen enough of that one!

''{The wall rises and falls with a deformed gray lump vaguely resembling a chair.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, your snowman died.

'''BUBS:''' ''{cut to closeup of Bubs}'' You simpleton! This is a Denoob Largo original!

''{Cut to the chair. A Styleron Ecochair logo appears.}''

'''BUBS:''' The Styleron Ecochair!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{pan up to Strong Bad}'' Look, I don't care how Swedish your chair is. I have no need for a giant ''{pan back to the chair}'' albino doggie-doody.

'''BUBS:''' ''{cut to Bubs}'' Always a hit at parties...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{cut back to Strong Bad}'' Come on, Bubs! Don't you have anything more... ''executive''? A chair that will intimidate my underlings and eliminate my overlings!

'''BUBS:''' Ooh! ''{Cut back to the wide shot of Strong Bad and Bubs, the wall is already up.}'' Lucky for you! I just got this pre-owned—

''{The wall falls, displaying the same box of chicken beaks seen earlier.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{interrupting}'' ''NOT'' ''{The conveyor belt immediately rises.}'' a box of chicken beaks!

'''BUBS:''' Oh. Then behold!

''{The conveyor belt falls again, revealing a large leather chair, which obscures Strong Bad as it rolls out. The chair glows and a chorus sounds briefly, and a golden "Le Restige" plaque appears.}''

'''BUBS:''' Le Restige! ''{He pronounces "le" as "leh"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{appears from behind the chair}'' Style ''and'' class! Oh, tell me that leather's Corinthian! Just ''tell'' me it's Corinthian!

'''BUBS:''' ''{cut to closeup of Bubs}'' Craba''donk''!

''{Cut to a closeup of Strong Bad, who is now sitting on the chair.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So what kind of options are we looking at on this baby?

'''BUBS:''' Ooh! You're gonna love this!

''{Bubs opens a compartment in the arm rest to reveal a red button and presses it, making a buzzing sound. A pair of metallic arms appear from behind Strong Bad and quickly slip a pair of gray sweatpants on him}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No way! A sweatpants button! And so begins my meteoric rise to the top of the corporate ladder... Now alls we gotta do is see how well it checks emails!

''{Cut back to the computer room, with Le Restige taking up nearly the entire screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Hey, hey, hey. It's email.

''{opens an email which is almost completely obscured by the chair}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading email}'' Dear Strong Bad, how come you never take your mask off? ''{typing}'' Like I've said before, ''this'' is not a mask. It's my face. But hey, I'll give it a shot!

''{Strong Bad tugs on his mask until it comes off, and ripping fabric is heard as he does this. He raises the mask above the chair and screams for a few seconds, then puts it back on again, making gurgling noises throughout.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh! I am NEVER gonna do that again! And, here's a picture of my parents. ''{holds up a photo; only the corner is visible above the chair.}''

''{Cut to a wide shot of the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And now time to unwind with a pair of executive sweatpants!

''{Strong Bad opens the compartment in the same arm rest and pushes the sweatpants button, making the buzzing sound again. The robotic arms go haywire and begin piling sweatpants onto him}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, What's going on here?!! Uh!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

''{Strong Bad is tossed into the air. He falls down with several layered sweatpants on his legs and another pair on his head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{groaning}'' Ooooh... so... many... sweatpants... I can't feel my parts...

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

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

'''MIKE:''' "The chair," I call this one.

'''MATT:''' Whaaat should I scrape email off the top of, Strong Bad?

'''MIKE:''' Uhhh, like if you're making some tomato soup, maybe?

'''MATT:''' Ohhh!

'''MIKE:''' It cools a little bit.

'''MATT:''' I feel like it's, like, uh...the top of a cake.

'''MIKE:''' Oh.

'''MATT:''' When it's kind of rounded and you want it to be a flat-top,—

'''MIKE:''' Oh.

'''MATT:''' — so you have to scrape that off?

'''MIKE:''' I was thinkin' about the skin on some tomato soup.—

'''MATT:''' Oooh!

'''MIKE:''' —The skin that forms?

'''MATT:''' That Masala tea I get at Zyco,— 

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' —the taste, this Indian restaurant, has a nice skin on it.

'''MIKE:''' Mmhmm.

'''MATT:''' ''{pause until Strong Bad jumps off of the stool}'' Uhh...whoa. I am sitting on the stool that—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' It's true!

'''MATT:''' —well, I guess that's—this isn't based...this stool is not what that stool is based on, but this stool ''{Mike begins to say something, but stops}'' happened after the fact, but it looks pretty dang much like it.

'''MIKE:''' Yellow cushion.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Wooden stool.

'''MATT:''' A rare...''{cuts himself off}''

'''MIKE:''' So, uhm, let's try to give some ''actual'' insight into this email, and—

'''MATT:''' ''{interrupting}'' I just did, man!

'''MIKE:''' —the process of us making it.

'''MATT:''' I'm sitting on a stool with—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Oh, that's right!

'''MATT:''' —chicken beaks. Ethical chick'n beaks.

''{Mike laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Um...you made a nice uh, version, of the ''{both laughing}'' cover of Winger's first album there, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' ''{singing}'' She's only seventeen...

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

'''MIKE:''' Name ''one'' more song from—

'''MATT:''' ''{covering him up, singing loudly}'' Madalaine, ahh-ah ahh ahh...

'''MIKE:''' ''{under the previous line, quietly}'' that album...Wow! Nice! I don't think I was—

'''MATT:''' ''{still singing}'' Is this love too tough to taaake?

'''MIKE:''' Impressive.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Remember I showed, uh, John Raydle's brother Jeff, uh, that video—I had recorded that video? 

'''MIKE:''' Uh-huh?

'''MATT:''' ...and he came over to do somethin', I think we were all going to a Braves game? And I showed it to him and he kinda, he kinda laughed at it. ''{Mike laughs aloud}'' Thought that his— Kip Winger's spin moves were pretty hilarious. ''{Mike chuckles}'' Uh, just then I—I remember having a good time making the ''Welcome Back Kotter''-sounding little song that plays—

'''MIKE:''' ''{underneath}'' Uh-huh.

'''MATT:''' — when Strong Bad has his old paper route. ''{short pause}'' ''{referring to the Homestar Runner chair}'' That looks like some kind of chair that they would sell at Ikea.

'''MIKE:''' I would like that chair.

''{Another short pause}''

'''MATT:''' You think Bubs dipped Homestar in hot sugar, maybe? ''{Mike laughs}'' That one?

'''MIKE:''' Hot sugar, yeah.

'''MATT:''' He looks kinda like [[pet show|The Cheat did]] when they glazed him with those donuts.

'''MIKE:''' Those...Schlembaugh's Donuts?

'''MATT:''' ''{referring to the Styleron Ecochair}'' ''That'' thing just looks like a lump of hot sugar. Or melted. Now it's cooled.

'''MIKE:''' So what are you getting at? Do you think Bubs has some sort of hot sugar operation, ''{Matt laughs}'' Matt?

'''MATT:''' Think that's what's in the secret ''{Mike stifles laughter}'' basement of Bubs' Concession Stand is a big vat of hot sugar...and simple syrup. He likes to dip things in it.

''{Pause until Strong Bad refuses the Chick'n Beaks for a second time. Mike laughs.}''

'''MIKE:''' Too the—

'''MATT:''' Awww.

'''MATT:''' Uhhh... Ooh. Style ''and'' class! Did we originally make that for those promos in recor— in independent record stores?

'''MIKE:''' I think so, although I think it was based on a chair that he's sitting on in the [[Everybody to the Limit|Fhqwhgads video]]?

'''MATT:''' Oh, that's right. A badly drawn chair.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' A badly drawn chair, and I think I...made a better version of just like a maroon...—

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' —what do you call that kind of chair? Is that a wingback chair?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it looks like it might be. ''{short pause}'' The sweatpants button looks like, uh...some kind of Wallace & Gromit invention. ''{both laugh}'' Any...thing with robot hands that have Mickey Mouse gloves on them? ''{both laugh}'' It should be playing that music, ''{begins imitating bass intro to Wallace & Gromit invention theme}'' Dun dun dun dun, dun dun dun dun...''{continues}''

'''MIKE:''' ''{begins melody}'' Dun da da, daladdle-un dun dun... ''{Matt laughs}'' dun da da...''{trails off}''

'''MATT:''' Mike, what happens if you broke apart the .swf ''{pronounces as "swiff"}'' here and looked at...

'''MIKE:''' Uh...

'''MATT:''' ...the picture of his family?

'''MIKE:''' Well, there's a—

'''MATT:''' ''{underneath}'' err, his parents?

'''MIKE:''' —Polaroid that says "Nice try dodongo!"

'''MATT:''' And who is Dodongo, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' ''{underneath}'' Dodongo is— Dodongo's an enemy from Zelda, and I can't— is he a lizard, some kinda lizard-lookin' thing?

'''MATT:''' He was like a dinosaur.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' A dinosaur thing?

'''MATT:''' Yeah. And you always have to throw bombs in his mouth.

'''MIKE:''' Dodongo...yeah, that's right.

'''MATT:''' ''{in reference the floppy disk container}'' BioForge. That's a good game.

'''MIKE:''' ''{chuckles slightly; pause until Strong Bad has been thrown out of Le Restige by the sweatpants button}'' Look at— ''{short pause}'' Hey, how's his arm  coming out of ''{Matt notices and laughs}'' the back of the sweatpants?

'''MATT:''' ''{amused}'' I dunno, maybe it's—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' He's just got holes cut in the back. ''{mumbling nonsense as the paper comes down}'' Agadagadaga!

== Transcript ==

''{As usual, Strong Bad is in front of his Lappy, checking his email. Judging from the view of the room we can see around the Lappy, however, he does not seem to be at his desk, as he usually would be.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': A lot of ladies and a lot of girls... some healthy ladies and some healthy girls!
<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: besides..</div>
Dear Strongbad, 
Do you do anything besides checking emails? 
 
Sincerely, Hunter</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing, getting angry in the process}'' Waudju- gighi- ikuh... What do you mean do I do anything else besides checking emails? ''{ends the sentence with a period}'' 'Course I freakin' do! I do everything! Always! ''{clears the screen}'' Nature walks, Meet N' Greets, Bus Chucker Club, The League of Me and The Cheat Ice Cream Socials. Shut up! I even have a part-part-part-part-very part-time job, to which I am currently 15 minutes late.

''{Cut to the lower area of Marzipan's kitchen. Strong Bad has apparently been checking this email under Marzipan's kitchen table. Homestar walks in, and is holding a tennis ball.}''

''{Strong Bad looks around in a panicked way.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' This is perfect! Just perfect! I couldn't be happier with my new invention! I'll call it...the Super Question Machine!!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{whispering}'' I gotta try and sneak out of here without Homestar noticing me.

''{Homestar sets his tennis ball down on the table.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, you do.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gonna need a diversion of some kind...

''{The Cheat walks in, singing to himself, wearing a top hat entitled "Tito" and a bow tie, and holding a cane. Homestar turns around to look at him. The camera pans left. The Cheat begins doing a dance.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, wow! What a great new invention!

''{Strong Bad crawls out from under the table, and gives The Cheat the thumbs up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nice work, The Cheat!

''{He proceeds to crawl away, while The Cheat's still singing.}''

''{Cut to Bubs' empty concession stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{quietly while peeking out from behind the black}'' Perfect! Bubs must be passed out on the floor again.

''{Strong Bad disappears behind the screen, and begins walking toward the Stand.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Comin' in to work on time...

''{Bubs pops up from under the counter. Strong Bad lets out a short yell.}''

'''BUBS:''' Aha!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Yells, then stutters a little.}''

'''BUBS:''' Late again, Strong Bad. I'm not running a country club, you know.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Quickly}'' But Mr. Bubs, I was just—

'''BUBS:''' ''{Interrupts}'' Wastin' time with that email show of yours again. That mess'll never get you anywhere!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes it will! You'll see! I'm gonna be big one day. I'm gonna be a famous email checker!

'''BUBS:''' And I'm gonna be two times two. Now put on your uniform and ''{raising his left arm midway for directions}'' get to work!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're gonna be ''what''?

''{The screen fades out and resumes to Strong Bad wearing a combination of a sad clown and a hotdog costume in front of Bubs' stand. Strong Bad is holding a paper, and a stack of papers sits next to him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right! Come on down to Bubs' and get you a free cup of ice with purchase of deluxe cup of ice of equal or lesser value.

'''BUBS:''' No, no. Work it, son, work it!

''{Strong Bad begins dancing and singing.}''

'''BUBS:''' That's it, that's it! Look out for Number 1!

''{Coach Z walks in.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, it's the hot dog clown! What fun!

''{Pom Pom's silhouette merges in.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Pom Pom, take a picture of me with the hot dog clown. It'll be classic!

''{Pom Pom bubbles, and takes out a camera. A huge flash is seen, and a camera shutter sound is heard. Coach Z falls over, leaning on Strong Bad.}

''{The camera zooms in to Bubs.}''

'''BUBS:''' ''{waves his arms up and down constantly}'' Pictures with the tragic clown dog ain't free! ''{points his right arm at Pom Pom and Coach Z}'' Fifty bucks! ''{back to waving arms}'' ''Sixty'' bucks! ''{back to pointing right arm}'' Get back here and let me confiscate yo film!

''{The camera zooms back out to the four of them.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{running}'' Chorce, forsh! ''{He and Pom Pom run off screen. Bubs has his arms down and relaxed.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's a great day at Bubs' Concession Stand! Sign up now for giving us money!

'''BUBS:''' Now isn't this better than sitting at your desk answerin' emails?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Actually, I was sitting under a kitchen table this week and...uh oh! The Lappy's probably almost out of juice! I gotta get back and end this email! Uhh.. say Bubs, I'm gonna need now off. Is that cool?

'''BUBS:''' Is Strong Sad cool?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, come on!

'''BUBS:''' You know all my policies! I'm not running a country club, you know.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, then, I quit.

'''BUBS:''' Fine! But don't even think about swiping that costume!

'''STRONG BAD:''' You made ''me'' buy this costume, remember?

'''BUBS:''' Oh. Right. Well then pleasure doing business wit' ya.

''{Strong Bad runs off in the costume.}

''{We cut back to the kitchen, where The Cheat has fallen over, still singing, and Homestar is standing over him. Strong Bad, now without costume, crawls back in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' This is the most amazing undersea epic ever filmed.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' See, Hunter? I got all types of stuff going on. I've got so many facets, you don't even know what facets are. I'm like a hundredaire socialite out on the sce—

''{The Lappy powers down.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh great. The battery ran out. I gotta figure out a way to end this email.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah you do.

''{Cut to Mrs. Bennedetto. Strong Bad slaps a paper on it with some text and a picture of him grinning and showing off a beefy arm on it.}''

<blockquote>yeah buddy, 
i have muscles! 
 
ps: preeeeow</blockquote>

== Fun Facts ==

===Trivia===
*Bubs's flyers read:
<blockquote>GET YOU A FREE CUP OF 
ICE WITH PURCHASE OF 
DELUXE CUP OF ICE OF 
EQUAL OR LESSER VALUE. 
BUBS' CONCESSION STAND</blockquote>
*The clock on Mrs. Bennedetto is stuck on 9:48.
*This email is the first to show the back of the Lappy clearly. (It was obscured by Strong Bad's arm in [[animal]].)
*In the picture of himself that Strong Bad puts on Mrs. Bennedetto at the end of the email, his left hand does not have a boxing glove on it and you can see three fingers. This is the first time we have seen Strong Bad's fingers or hand without the boxing gloves on. Also, his mouth has teeth, instead of just a gap in his mask.
*This is the only email where you manually have to make The Paper come down at the end of it.
*This is the second time Bubs criticized Strong Bad about his "[[email show]]". The first time was in the email [[the process]].
*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Strong Bad tries to sell cups of ice for Bubs while dressed up as the Tragic Clown Dog. A classic!"

===Remarks===
*The only way Bubs will have to honor his offer of "a free cup of ice with purchase of a deluxe cup of ice of equal or lesser value" is if he gives a free deluxe cup with the purchase of another deluxe cup, since a deluxe version of an item would be of ''greater'' value than the normal version.
*When Strong Bad arrives late to work, he grabs the frame of the cartoon, yet another example of a [[fourth wall break]].
*Strong Bad also has an unspecified job at [[the office]].
*Hunter's question was effectively answered just 10 emails earlier, in [[other days]].
*According to its introduction in [[animal]], the Lappy has 5 minutes of battery life. This email is only [[Strong Bad Email By Length|3:18]] long, indicating that Strong Bad had likely powered his Lappy on before the email began, although the email does consist of several non-contiguous shots.
*If Mrs. Bennedetto's clock is correct, Strong Bad had to be at work by 9:30 AM.

===Goofs===
*You can also make the circles appear when the scene switches to the microwave at the end really quickly.
*When Strong Bad turns around, the teardrop on his hot dog clown suit switches sides.
**The hot dog clown may have a tear under each eye, because his nose is blocking the view.
[[Image:Hot Dog Arm Goof.PNG|thumb|Oops...]]
*When in the tragic clown dog costume, Strong Bad's arm sometimes peeks through the "shadow" in front of the arm hole on the costume.
*Despite his usual mercilessness on [[Strong Bad's Spelling|grammar and spelling]], Strong Bad omits a question mark in his first full sentence.
*When Strong Bad is under the stage light in the Easter egg, he doesn't have a shadow.
*You can still click on the Lappy's screen and make the waves appear even after the battery dies.
*When Bubs gets up to startle Strong Bad, you can see Bubs's arm and part of his middle section under the concession stand.

=== Glitches ===
*After watching the [[Dreamaway Johnny]] Easter egg, The Paper is down even if you haven't clicked on "preeeeow".

===Inside References===
*The ''Hundredaire Socialite Magazine'' Easter egg features the familiar faces of [[The Brothers Chaps|Mike and Matt Chapman]]; the photo is from [[Peasant's Quest Preview]].
*The Cheat wearing the top hat may be a reference to [[theme park]].
*"Buh-Hubs" was a filename in [[big white face]]. Bubs also said his name this way in [[lunch special]].
*"Hundredaire" was also used in the email "[[suntan]]".
*"[[Preeeeow]]" is what Strong Bad says in [[autobiography]] and [[haircut]], when attempting to prompt the printer to print out [[The Paper]]. It is the accepted [[onomatopoeia]] for The Paper's sound.
*The confused sounds Strong Bad makes at the beginning of the cartoon are almost identical to the ones he utters near the end of [[Everybody to the Limit]].
*When Strong Bad says, "I've got so many facets, you don't even know what facets are," he is referring to his description of [[Senor Cardgage]] in the email [[kind of cool]].
*The sound the Lappy makes when shutting down is the same sound from [[gimmicks]] (when the Tandy's display goes blank), [[caffeine]] (when Strong Sad snaps out of being caffeinated), and [[dangeresque 3]] (when Strong Bad changed the signature (john newell, on) to "john newell, off").
*The cup of ice is first referenced in [[no loafing]], as part of Bubs' Thirty Cent Lunch Special.
*When Strong Bad sings "I'm like a hundredaire socialite out on the sce—", it is in the same tune as the first Lappy [[scroll buttons song]] ("Scroll buttons and the Lappy together at last...").
*Strong Bad previously appeared as a hot dog in [[island]].
*The battery running out is a reference to the limited battery power of the Lappy mentioned in its debut (animal): "One Half of Ten Minutes".

===Real-World References===
*The Tragic Clown Dog's necktie bends upwards like [[Wikipedia:Dilbert|Dilbert]]'s.
*Homestar doesn't demonstrate how his Super Question Machine works (which is just a tennis ball), but it could be a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Magic 8-ball|Magic 8-ball]].
**It may also be a reference to the handheld version of the [[Wikipedia:20Q|20q]], a device that plays twenty questions and is about the size of a tennis ball.
*The pamphlet reading "Theater" in the Easter egg is a reference to the ubiquitous [[Wikipedia:Playbill|Playbill]] in Broadway shows.
*The name "Mr. Legarm" is probably a reference to the old saying of "... will cost you an arm and a leg", since Bubs is known to charge more for something than it is worth (such as when he charges $10 for severe pummelings in [[pom pom]]).
*Homestar's assessment of The Cheat's performance is similar to the tagline of the film ''The Neptune Factor'': "The most fantastic undersea odyssey ever filmed."

===Fast Forward===
*The Cheat later appears as Tito in [[more armies]], with [[Strong Mad]] as his "beautiful assistant".
*Strong Bad wears the tragic clown dog costume again in [[On Break]].

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Is there a lack of room in your lacquer room?

'''COACH Z:''' There is.

'''MIKE:''' You're done?

'''COACH Z:''' Mm-hm.

'''MIKE:''' You're not gonna even show up for a full day's work here. You're petering out halfway through the email—

'''COACH Z:''' Hey look. I had lunch, went back to my desk, and I'm zoning out.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''COACH Z:''' I'm just gonna get on Instant Messager and tell the boss.

'''MIKE:''' Is it Instant ''Messenger'' or ''Messager''? I've always been confused.

'''COACH Z:''' Messen—

'''MIKE:''' Messenger?

'''COACH Z:''' I think so.

'''MIKE:''' Um, K. 'Cause it could be "Messager," too. ''{pause}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{suddenly and quickly}'' Look, a lacquer room!

Marzipan

Defender1031 — Wed, 02 Dec 2020 09:19:08 GMT

Defender1031: rv, the characters have never been that specific and we don't need to be either

{{charnav|Marzipan|marzy|Pom Pom|Coach Z}}
[[Image:NewestMarzipan.png|thumb|"I'm the only girl."]]

{{aboutcharacter}} {{foremail|marzipan}}

== Biography ==
'''Marzipan''' is [[The Only Girl|the only female character]] among the [[Characters#Main Characters|primary residents]] of the [[Homestar Runner universe]]. She is tall and thin, with her elongated head a pinkish color. Her eyes consist of two black circles of [[Mismatched Eyes|two different sizes]]. Her mouth was originally a 'U' shape, which still appears on occasion, but more often than not is usually seen now as a slight curve. She wears her hair in a bright yellow ponytail, and is almost always seen wearing a purple dress embellished with white trim and gold buttons, along with a matching hair band. Like [[Homestar Runner]], she does not have [[Lack of Visible Arms|visible arms]]. Nevertheless, she is still able to pick up and handle objects without any hint of difficulty; for example, she can play the guitar fairly well. She is voiced by [[Missy Palmer]] and is one of the few characters not voiced by [[Matt Chapman]].

[[Image:Marzipan 3D variation.PNG|thumb|Is that 3D eco-friendly?]]
Marzipan is Homestar's [[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship|girlfriend]] (humorously, Missy Palmer acting as Marzipan disclosed in the DVD commentary for [[date]] that Homestar is only her boyfriend while acting, and has "several other boyfriends" off stage). Early on in the site's history, this seemed to be the primary reason for her existence. Her character has developed greatly over time, however, and their dating no longer appears to be their main connection. Marzipan has actually broken up with Homestar on several occasions, and gone out with [[The Cheat]] and [[Bubs]] in [[Date Nite]], some of which were due to the fact that she wished to demonstrate her independence. Other such times involve Homestar's unintentional mean streak; he has even been known to show feelings of contempt and resentment toward his girlfriend, as seen in the email [[narrator]] (where he calls her "some type of enormous alien cow") and [[Happy Fireworks]] (where he uses a [[Cardboard Marzipan|cardboard cutout]] to imitate her and then tells "her" to shut up). Luckily for Homestar, she continues to love him dearly, and the two always seem to end up together again.

Marzipan's status as the only girl in [[Free Country, USA]] has made her the target of quite a few prank messages on her [[Marzipan's Answering Machine|answering machine]] (most of them left by Strong Bad), as well as the unsolicited romantic attentions of several other characters (most notably [[Coach Z]] and [[Bubs]]). Despite all this, she is very kind and is friends with almost everyone (though she is not fond of [[The King of Town]], and she really doesn't like Strong Bad at all{{ref|1}}), such as when she helped [[Strong Sad]] make baklava while [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon|Strong Bad was in jail]]; however, she does sometimes think only of herself, most notably when she ignored [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2|seven years' worth of calls]] just to play a prank on Strong Bad. With Marzipan being the only girl as well as Homestar's [[Homestar Runner and Marzipan's Relationship|on-again, off-again girlfriend]], Strong Bad tends to [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 6.0|assert his autonomous romantic life]] to her [[senior prom|(as well as to other characters)]] to assuage his ego. It's possible that Strong Bad has an unrequited crush on Marzipan expressed through his immature antics, although he has indicated [[date nite|his disgust for her]] in the past.

[[Image:Marzysign.png|thumb|left|"I'm off to the Chinchilla protest."]]
[[Strong Bad]] once described Marzipan as a "dirty hippie without the dirt"{{ref|2}}. She is vegan — she especially enjoys [[tofu]] and other soy products (though in the email [[coloring]] she teaches that "soy is also murder") — and she spends much of her time singing and playing her guitar. Most of her songs are about happiness and nature. She often makes [[Marzipan's Protest Signs|protest signs]] to express her views on issues of varying and personal interest.

[[Image:Marzycouchslouch.png|thumb|Marzipan relaxes]]
Marzipan has been mistaken for a baseball bat, a bell, and especially a [[Marzipan Being Compared to a Broom|broom]]. A rip in her "Joey Ramone" costume in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] seems to suggest that her body may actually be shaped like a bell, a fact which is supported by her costume in [[Doomy Tales of the Macabre]] and her tracks in the snow in [[A Decemberween Mackerel]]. By contrast, many emails, such as [[secret recipes]], [[date]], [[secret identity]] and [[keep cool]], show her sitting in a manner that seems to contradict that possibility. In the email [[big white face]], Strong Bad mentions that her head is like a baseball bat. In the email [[long pants]], she claims that she is not a broom, much to Homestar's surprise. In [[highschool]], she is shown to have long, skinny legs like [[Wikipedia: Daphne Blake|Daphne]] from [[Wikipedia: Scooby-Doo|Scooby-Doo]], but due to the fact that Strong Bad has an "unphotographic memory" (or "doodle memory"), this may or may not be true. Though she is often mistaken for such distinctly shaped objects, Strong Bad refers to Marzipan as "[[Wikipedia:Human|human]]" in [[retirement]].

Marzipan has a tendency to anthropomorphize inanimate objects — for example, she talks to her guitar, [[Carol]], asks [[Strong Sad]] to help resurrect her ficus plant, [[Credenza]], from the dead in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], and once names an ordinary sandwich "[[Homestar Jr.]]", proceeding to treat it as though it were a small child. In addition, she has occasionally been fooled by poor imitations of Homestar, such as [[Tofu Homestar]] from [[The Luau]] and [[The Cheat]]'s costume from the email [[do over#Easter Eggs|do over]]. Also, in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]], she created a potion that could transform Homestar into several different entities, including a strange clone of herself. Upon such instances, Marzipan tends to show more affection to (and quite possibly ''receives'' more positive attention ''from'') these pseudo-Homestars than she does her real boyfriend. It is unclear if this reflects a desire to change or replace her current beloved, although she believes her relationship with Homestar has always been open{{ref|3}}.

Marzipan sometimes works with other characters on various projects. For example, The Cheat made a Flash video for her song "[[Oh Yeah Yeah]]". She has also teamed up with both The Cheat and [[Strong Mad]] to form a band called [[Cool Tapes]], in which she sings lead and plays Carol. She has appeared in the ''[[Dangeresque (film series)|Dangeresque]]'' series of short films as [[Cutesy Buttons]] and [[Sultry Buttons]], and once attempted to teach Strong Bad how to make an [[lady fan|attractive centerpiece]] out of junk mail and kitty litter. She has also hosted a [[Fall Float Parade]] with Coach Z and taught a cult-like "[[School|kindergarten]]" class with Homestar, Strong Mad, and [[Homsar]]. In [[DNA Evidence]], it is said that she is allergic to pecans. She also takes a Toga-Yoga class, which is led by Bubs.

== Fun Facts ==
[[Image:grinning marzipan.png|thumb|Yes, she does have [[teeth]].]]
*The [[Old Characters Page]], now in the [[museum]], said The King of Town was Marzipan's father. However, it is the only such reference on the site, and [[The Brothers Chaps]] have since reported in interviews (such as [[Club Aquatica Interview - 29 Oct 2003|the Club Aquatica interview]]) that this was an idea they had early in the site's development but have since abandoned.
**In the [[Wonkavision Magazine Interview]], this [[Inconsistencies Within the Homestar Runner Universe|inconsistency]] was explained as a [[wikipedia:Retcon|retcon]]. When asked about the "rumors" of Marzipan being the King of Town's daughter, Marzipan herself replied that, "Those allegations are completely false. The King was trying to make himself look better by association. That poor man. That poor fat, filthy man."
***Even the King of Town seems surprised to learn about this alleged connection in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2]], casting Marzipan's explanation into doubt.
*[[Wikipedia:Marzipan|Marzipan]] is also a confectionery consisting primarily of ground almonds and sugar that derives its characteristic flavor from bitter almonds.
*In an interview with Wired magazine, Missy Palmer said that Marzipan started out as a hippie, but over time her personality has changed to match Missy's own.
*The character page title is a reference to Marzipan's song "Oh yeah yeah" from the email [[marzipan]].
*According to Strong Bad, Marzipan is allergic to pecans.
*Marzipan has a cousin named [[Debra]] whom Strong Bad said he considered hot in [[Happy Dethemberween]].
**Marzipan also has a sister, according to Homestar in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2]].
*As revealed in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 15.2]], she has apparently had [[Questionable Services|questionable surgery]] to have her nose removed.
*In [[A Death-Defying Decemberween]], Homestar refers to Marzipan's mother as "Mrs. Marzipan", and implies that she is frequently divorced. Marzipan says her latest stepfather is named Seth and works in a "philosophy department", presumably at a university.
*Marzipan's only known visible body part is her head, and [[Kick-A-Ball]] reveals that none of her limbs are visible.
*Strong Bad says that Marzipan has a "considerable resistance to death" in [[origins]] after being super-glued to Homsar and left for dead.

Talk:Holidays

Defender1031 — Wed, 18 Nov 2020 09:50:46 GMT

Defender1031: /* virus */ I was like "Man, I guess April Fools Day fell out really weird in 2004" until I realized what you meant.

{{featuredarticle}}
How is this list different from the Toons list? The Wiki is not a database no matter how much you try to make it one. - [[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 19:25, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)

Maybe it's just a different way to look at the toons? --[[User:Southpaw018|Southpaw018]] 19:56, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)

It also has all the toons that aren't listed in the Holiday Toons Menu. Things like the Halloween Answering Machine, the Homestar Vs Little Girl 2, things that SHOULD be Holiday, but are listed somewhere else. This was just a rough list, if anyone wants to maybe find a way of organizing this page, [[Puppet Stuff]], and [[Powered by The Cheat]] In similar fashions of each other, (not neccisarrily this way, this is just a rough list) feel free to do so. But basically the main purposes of the three pages are to list additional toons that SHOULD be in that catergory, but are not. like Homestar Runner Vs Little Girl 1, It's in the holiday, when it could be in [[Puppet Stuff]] as well. And [[Labor Dabor]] being in Puppet Stuff, when it's got a bit of Powered By The Cheat in it. That's how it's different from the Toons list. I dunno. I just made this page as a list, How it's organized along with the other two are up to the Wiki. Any Volunteers? -- [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 20:14, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)

==Thanksgiving==

Although [[Happy T]] and [[colonization]] may look like seperate Holidays, they were added right around Thanksgiving of their respective years, they're clearly related, I think it's fair to say that they are one and the same. ''<tt>[[Special:Contributions/Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]][[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]]</tt>'' 19:23, 27 Mar 2005 (MST)

==Birthdays, Among Others...==

Why does everybody keep deleting random stuff on this page, and shuffling it all around, without giving a reason/discussion on this page? Namely for deleting all the birthday refferances, including the one towards Cheatday. But why is a 'minor holidays' page needed just for the three of them? The reason I added them to their own catergories was to make a timeline of holidays throughout the year, which is incomplete when just three holidays are thrown at the bottom. Is the general feeling that this is the incorrect way to go, or is it just a few? ''<tt>[[Special:Contributions/Thunderbird L17|⇔]][[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]][[User talk:Thunderbird L17|⇔]]</tt>'' 00:20, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

:Trogga kept deleting the stuff, and I kept putting it back. The discussion is on [[User talk:Trogga|Trogga's talk page]]. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 00:29, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

I see that there's a reference to Strong Bad's statement that he doesn't want to turn 150, which could be interpereted as a birthday reference in normal conversation, but I think that in this case it's not connected to his real birthday and shouldn't be included as a "Holiday Toon"[[User:Vash Lupin VI|Vash Lupin VI]]

==Minor Holidays==

Why do [[User:Trogga|certain people]] keep moving a select few holidays to 'minor holidays'? My argument is that besides messing up the chronological lineage, they aren't even minor holidays. It's simply a point of view. Holidays like New Years, it doesn't have it's own toon. Mother's Day does. So which one is minor? In my opinion, neither. Anyone else have a point of view they would like to share?

:I think its safe to say that these are a favorite for H*R fans and we'll all be waiting to see their costumes. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 19:14, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
::And I'd also bet 50p that there'll be at least one mention of [[Witches' Brew]] as well. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::dorian wins 50p. If anyone accepted the bet (I didn't). {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 04:48, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

==Decemberween==

I'm fairly certain that this is also a dig at how Christmas celebrations tend to creep up earlier and earlier as shops gear up for last-minute buyers.

==Page Title==

Though I originally started this page as "Holiday Toons", in reference to how it's labled in the Toons menu, it has really evolved to be a list of all "Holiday References", or probably just "Holidays". So I'll throw it out here, anybody think it should be moved, or stay as is? I like how it fits with Puppet Stuff, Powered By The Cheat, in that they're all mainly a list of every instance of that particular style, whether it's listed in the menu or not. The only problem is that this page has the addional "Toons" word. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 02:40, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

:I'm fine with just '''Holidays'''. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 02:46, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

== I am ANGRY ==

They keep skiping the Holiday emails! Was there a Decemberween 2005, NO and was there a July 4th 2006 NO
:And do you have to pay for any of the content of H*R? No. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:40, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

== colonization*? ==

Why is there an asterisk after the link to [[colonization]]? Typo or non-existant footnote? {{User:Blendage/sig}} 17:04, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
:It's a leftover from [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Holidays&diff=386771&oldid=383278 this edit]. So, yeah. That thing you said. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Redirects==
I haven't investigated all of the holidays, but I have found that "Halloween" redirects to this page, but "April Fools' Day" doesn't. Any special reason for that? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 07:03, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
:Halloween was {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Halloween&oldid=369682 originally}} created as a separate page, but it was decided that it didn't need its own article. However, instead of just deleting the page, it was redirected to [[Holidays#Halloween (October 31st)]]. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 09:59, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
::My question was actually more about why "April Fools' Day" doesn't redirect here. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 21:37, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

==End of School Entry==
You can check the page's history for my entry, which people have deleted because this is a Wiki. The new Teen Girl Squad episode was very good and reminded me of high school, and I do believe that the End of School counts as a holiday. I would think most people would agree with me. It's even on some calendars and it is in Animal Crossing as one - it's universal as well. Why would it not be a holiday and be on the holiday list?
:The end of school is not a holiday; it's an event. It ''is'' celebrated, but not in the same sense that the rest of the days listed on the page are. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 15:26, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
::Here's the thing though, Trogday, The Super Bowl/The Big Game, and Cheatday aren't holidays either... i think that maybe we should change the page title to "Yearly Events" or something similar, and include it. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 15:29, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
:::No, the page title is fine. This page is primarily to cover everything listed in the [[Toons#Holiday Toons|Holiday Toons]] section of the [[HR:toons.html|Toons menu]], which includes the [[Superbowl Dealie]] and [[Happy Trogday|Trogday]]. It's a little bit of a stretch to list [[Cheatday]], but points in its favor include the fact that it's a set day, it has the word "day" it its name, and it really is a holiday for The Cheat. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:07, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

== Scope again, I said Scope Again! ==

Hi it's me again the scope gnome here to bring up a point about the scope of another page. Is this page for listing the holiday toons, or for listing toons that make reference to these holidays? And if the latter, why have the year numbers next to the page names for the ones which are holiday specials, while having a description next to the ones with a mention? Seems inconsistant. I guess i'd be content if we separated the page into two secions, one listing the holiday toons, and the other which have mentions of those holidays. What do people think? {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 04:22, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

== Easter ==

I don't agree that Easter should be put in March. According to [[Wikipedia:Easter|the Wikipedia article]], it ''was'' March 23 this year, but will be April 12 in 2009. The "Date of Easter" section also says the majority of Easters are in April. I'm not sure if we should put Easter before or after cheatday, though. {{User:Mee/sig}} 22:32, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

==Decemberween==

I'm not so sure about the description given for Decemberween: "It is analogous to Christmas, possibly having the name to avoid religious issues for the non-Christian audiences." To me, it seems just as likely that it's named that way to avoid religious issues for Christian audiences. Think about it: whenever people make fun of Christmas--or are perceived as making fun of Christmas--which group causes the biggest stir? (Hint: It ain't Hindus)

==April Fools' Day (April 1st), "Strong Bad Gameways"==
Okay. I hate edit wars, so I'm going to take the discussion here. I think Strong Bad Gameways is in fact an April Fool's cartoon made by the Brother Chaps, but I was told not, so meh. I am copying and pasting what was said in the edit summarys, except for that last part, that is what I decided to add here.

-Badbadguy: that toon didn't include any pranks

-Me: At the end of the youtube clip, you saw "ACTUAL GAME FOOTAGE" which turns out to be, well, actual game footage of SBCG4AP. That seems to be a prank to me, at least.

-Jay: It contains something that it says is real that's actually real and that makes it a prank?????

-Me: That's because nobody expected it to BE real. It's the idea of revealing important news on April Fools' day, to trick people into thinking it's false when it really isn't. So it is, in fact, a prank. /me sighs--[[Special:Contributions/149.169.90.162|149.169.90.162]] 18:42, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
::It was a Promo for SBCG4AP, not a joke.---{{User:Record307/sig}} 18:51, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
:::But it also released April 1st. Oh well. I'll accept it. One year gap isn't going to be that bad.--[[Special:Contributions/149.169.90.162|149.169.90.162]] 18:54, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
::::Just being on April 1 isn't enough to make something a prank. Whatever the case, there was a two-year gap in Foolery: no prank in 2007 either. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:58, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
:::::How do you know TBC wanted us to think it was a prank? {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 19:10, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
::::::We can't say for *sure* they wanted us to think it was a prank... but bear in mind that it's actually almost as common to release true yet highly unbelievable news on April Fool's Day. I mean, who'd have believed at first that TBC were making a H*R game for the Wii? -{{User:YK/sig}} 19:17, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
:::::::But they ''didn't'' say they were making a H*R game for the Wii. They just kinda implied it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:53, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
::::::::True. Then, there's no especially compelling reason to assume it was a prank. Weird, yes. But... that's about it. -{{User:YK/sig}} 20:04, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

== The big game? ==

Hey, should where my hat is at (toon) ''really'' be under the Super bowl/big game section
:It wasn't made as a Big Game toon though, it simply mentions "the big game". {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 01:33, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

== Calender ==

Shouldn't we add the holidays they celibrate on the calender? Like lemke is on the only Friday the 13th. {{User:Nihaho13/sig}} 21:48, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm going to add the calender holidays anyway. But I'll do it tomorrow, just incase u don't want me to. {{User:Nihaho13/sig}} 17:01, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

== Trogday 2011 ==

Trogday ''was'' celebrated in 2011, just not on the website - Telltale Games had a "wood craft" contest for free copies of their games (http://www.telltalegames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22262). Is this worth a mention?
(It might also be worth noting that one of the winners, with the username "lombre", is actually [[User: The Wheelchair|on this wiki]].)
--{{User:The New Uzi-Bazooka/sig}} 23:59, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

== Apro Foo'Day Template ==
I noticed we didn't have an April Fools Toon template, so I made this one:
 
<table align="center" class="navbox" style="margin: 0 auto 0 auto; padding: 0.2em">

== Decemberween, Mark III ==

Just in case the whole confusing Christmas/Decemberween confusion comes up perennially, I'd like to put in an unnecessary and possibly incorrect opinion. Christmas is the holiday celebrated on December 25th commemorating the birth of an important religious figure. Decemberween, which is celebrated on the same day, is primarily an excuse for people to put up lights, give each other gifts and throw parties during the coldest and darkest days of the year when everyone's moping around depressed while confined to their houses and bathtubs, and it has no religious significance whatsoever. Any similarities the two holidays may have to each other is strictly a coincidence. -- [[Special:Contributions/68.37.43.131|68.37.43.131]] 01:10, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
:It's not a coincidence. They're different names for the same holiday. -[[Special:Contributions/50.234.189.37|50.234.189.37]] 02:36, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
::I'm a little unclear on the point being argued here. Christmas is a (nominally) religious holiday, whereas Decemberween seems to be secular, so no, they don't refer to the same holiday. But Decemberween clearly parodies Christmas. If what you mean is that they're presented as unrelated in-universe, then I agree, and I see nothing on the wiki suggesting otherwise. {{User:Lira/sig}} 06:01, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
::(Note that Strong Bad has [[@StrongBadActual Tweets 2017#926560495448084481|stated]] that Decemberween celebrations can include Christmas lights and Christmas trees, implying a muddled relationship. But by now we've probably already veered into [[FAQ|it's just a cartoon and you probably shouldn't worry about it]] territory.) {{User:Lira/sig}} 06:11, 9 November 2019 (UTC)
:::I'm admittedly being a little silly. But I'd like to add that in Russia, Decemberween is celebrated on December 31st, with lights and trees and everything. (Christmas is not a major holiday there, but they celebrate New Year's Eve identically to Western Christmas). Decemberween is mostly a time to be festive and excessive in the dead of winter. -- [[Special:Contributions/68.37.43.131|68.37.43.131]] 02:37, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

:At first I was confused by your question because November 15th isn't April Fools Day. Then I realized you meant the YouTube upload. If it had been originally released then I might say maybe, but the YT upload seems like just a coincidence. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 09:50, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

Broternal Order of Different Helmets

Defender1031 — Thu, 12 Nov 2020 18:10:38 GMT

Defender1031: rv speculation

[[Image:Ever and More.png|thumb|Brother of Town and Supreme Overlord Brotherstar Runnerbrother demonstrating the secret handshake.]]

The '''Broternal Order of Different Helmets (BODH)''' is a secret society headed by [[Homestar Runner]], the "Supreme Overlord", though [[Strong Bad]] attempts to gain control of the group at least once a week. Each of the members wears a different helmet, and the organization holds meetings in [[The Bar]]. [[Bubs]], as the treasurer, invents new ways to misappropriate funds. Their activities open with their frothy, shanty chant, Ever and More, and also include a secret handshake. The exact movements of this handshake are unknown, as it is demonstrated by Homestar and the King of Town, both of whom [[Lack of Visible Arms|lack visible arms]]; however, it may not require arms at all as evidenced later on by [[Strong Bad]] and [[The Cheat]]. The Order is run by majority rule.

==Fun Facts==
* Strong Sad wore the same helmet in [[senior prom]], where he wore a spacesuit to the "Entrapment All Up On The Moon" dance.
* Homestar Runner sang the official chant of the Order in [[the movies]], while wearing his helmet.
* The King of Town's [[Pickelhaube]] is very similar to the helmet of [[The Kaiser]], the King of Town's [[Old-Timey]] counterpart.
* A helmet similar to The King of Town's is worn by Homsar in [[Baddest of the Bands]].
* Apart from [[Marzipan]] (who is likely excluded because of her gender), [[Homsar]] seems to be the only main character not in the society (although he does appear on the minutes that were rolled over to third world countries).
* Strong Bad wore the miner helmet in [[Sketchbook (video)]], [[different town]] and [[cheatday]].
* The Order may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Freemasonry|Freemasonry]].

The [[Wikipedia:lo-fi music|lo-fi]] band '''sloshy''' is a group that [[Strong Sad]] enjoys listening to. They were introduced in the Strong Bad Email [[concert]], where they were opening for a [[Limozeen]] concert. [[Strong Bad]] was at first unwilling to view their set (as he had not heard of them), instead choosing to come "fashionably late". Due to a general lack of women in the audience, Limozeen never came on to play, and so sloshy played both sets, becoming one of Strong Bad's favorite bands until he finally realized they are not [[Heavy metal|metal]].

The band has been around since approximately 2001, and initially had a total of three members: Mitch Stockton, the lead vocalist and guitarist; Clark Cross-Country, the bassist and backing vocalist; and Dan DiMinilliditto, the drummer. In 2018, it was revealed they had added two new members, Doug Tarndner and Mark D., who both play guitar. Overall, they appear somewhat apathetic to their performances; during concerts, the band just strings some Christmas lights over the bass drum for special effects, wear whatever they had been wearing that day, and display a general lack of courtesy for the audience. Clark looks strikingly similar to [[Wikipedia:Patrick Wilson (musician)|Patrick Wilson]], the drummer of alternative rock band [[Wikipedia:Weezer|Weezer]]. He wears regular glasses, not sunglasses, much to Strong Bad's astonishment.

One of sloshy's most noticeable traits is that their only backup singing consists of one of the members (very blandly) repeating previous lines with an echoey microphone effect, or in the case of "Because, It's Midnite," saying "Because, It's Midnight." This is similar to the spoken word style employed by influential indie/alternative rock band [[Wikipedia:Pavement (band)|Pavement]]. An example of this is in Pavement's song "[[Wikipedia:Stereo (Pavement song)|Stereo]]".

The members of sloshy were the antagonists of [[Limozeen: "But they're in space!"]] on at least one occasion. However, the [[page title]] of Limozeen vs. Sloshy ("The Label Made Us Do It!") suggests that sloshy and Limozeen are signed to the same record label.

The name ''sloshy'' is usually written in all lowercase even in running text, and their [[Wikipedia:Wordmark (graphic identity)|wordmark]] is rotated 180 degrees with the ''o'' being a different color, usually red ('''ʎɥsols''').

{{dvd|Everything Else, Volume 3}}

==Transcript==
''{Open on Coach Z and Strong Sad sitting at a table. Coach Z is wearing a gladiator's barbute, and Strong Sad is wearing his astronaut helmet}''

'''COACH Z:''' Well, it's like a tricycle, but with nineteen wheels instead of three! ''{pronounced "tree"}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Coach Z, that's a ''horrible'' recipe!

'''COACH Z:''' Lemme run this one by ya. We start with a pound of rubber cement...

''{Cut to another view of the table, with Strong Mad, Bubs and The Poopsmith. Strong Mad is wearing a Nacho football helmet on top of his head, Bubs is wearing a fire helmet, and The Poopsmith is wearing a Judge Dredd helmet}''

'''BUBS:''' I haven't been able to fit into my lucky pants for almost ten years! That's why come I'm in such a bad mood all the time!

'''STRONG MAD:''' I CAN LET OUT THE WAIST ''{Holds up needle and an extremely short length of thread}'' A LITTLE BIT FOR YOU!

'''BUBS:''' Hey, that'd be a sweet deal I couldn't refuse!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Order!

''{Strong Mad, Bubs and The Poopsmith pay attention. Cut to Homestar, who's wearing his horned Viking helmet and banging a turkey drumstick on the table}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Order! I hereby call this meeting of the Broternal Order of Different Helmets to order! Now let us begin with a rousing rendition of our frothy, shanty chant. ''{Waving drumstick like a conductor's baton}'' And one, two, three!

''{Cut to another view of the table. Bubs, Strong Bad and Coach Z are visible. Strong Bad is wearing a miner's helmet}''

'''ALL:''' ''{singing}'' Ever and more, ever and more, ever and more!

''{Cut to another view. Strong Sad and Pom Pom are visible. Pom Pom is wearing a Samurai helmet. Strong Sad isn't singing and has his arms folded}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Singing—

'''ALL (except Strong Sad):''' ''{singing}'' Ever and more, ever and more, ever and more!

''{Cut back to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' One more time!

''{Cut to a shot of The Poopsmith, The King of Town and Strong Sad, slowly zooming out. The King of Town is wearing a German Pickelhaube.}''

'''ALL (except Strong Sad):''' ''{singing, getting higher at the end}'' Ever and more...

''{Cut to Bubs, Strong Bad and Coach Z, slowly panning left}''

'''ALL (except Strong Sad):''' ...ever and more...

''{Cut to The Cheat next to Strong Mad. The Cheat is wearing a British custodian helmet.}''

'''ALL (except Strong Sad):''' ...ever and more!

''{Cut back to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Strong Sad! Why weren't you singing?

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't believe in the message!

''{Cut to a view of Pom Pom, Homestar and The Cheat}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Uh, yes you do. All in favor?

''{Cut to Bubs, Strong Bad and Coach Z}''

'''ALL EXCEPT STRONG SAD:''' Aye!

''{Cut back to Pom Pom, Homestar and The Cheat}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All opposed?

''{Cut to Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Nay!

''{Cut back to Pom Pom, Homestar and The Cheat}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' The ayes win! ''{He ducks under the table and reappears next to Strong Sad}'' You believe in the message now!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Patting Homestar on the back and smiling}'' I really do!

''{Homestar ducks under the table and reappears in his original position}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I now give the floor to our treasurer, regarding shiny new ways to misappropriate funds.

''{Cut to Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' Thank you, Brotherstar Runnerbro... ther. Well, I've taken the minutes ''{holds them up, music starts playing}'' from last month's meeting and sold them as rollover minutes ''{holds up another piece of paper with a picture of [[Homsar]] on it}'' to third world countries! ''{places both pieces of paper down}'' Then I bought myself, I mean the Broternal Order of Different Helmets, a jetski! ''{holds up a jetski, slightly knocking the light, and puts it down}'' But then I wrecked it and broke my shin! ''{holds up crumpled leg}'' So now my rubbing ointment ''{holds up tube of [[BUBRUB!]]}'' costs fifty bucks a tube!

''{Record scratch sound effect. Music stops. Cut back to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Fantastic! And now, to help me demonstrate the new secret handshake, I call forth, Brother of Town.

''{The King of Town comes onscreen}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Boooo-ooo! 
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Offscreen, simultaneously}'' Yaaaaay!

''{Homestar and the King of Town move around for a second. Hand slapping is heard}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Everybody got it? This: ''{The word "This" appears onscreen, then Homestar moves around as three arrows appear onscreen}'' Then this: ''{The words "Then this" appears onscreen, then Homestar moves around some more and more complex arrows, including one that branches into three, appear on the screen}'' And now Brother Strong Bad, with his weekly power play.

''{Cut to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Clears throat, then speaks angrily}'' What's the matter with you guys?! I should be in charge here! Why is Homestar running this secret club?! ''{banging his fist on the table}'' Singing songs and secret handshakes?! That's rejected Girl Scout camp material! Put me in charge, and we'll be hitting each other with wooden stools until the morning light! Eating triple-fried pork rinds and burping video game music six ways till Tuesday! "Ever and More"?! That's horse puckey, you fools! It's all marketing mumbo jumbo! ''{upset}'' DON'T BELIEVE A WORD OF IT!!

''{Strong Bad pants and shakes. Homestar leans onscreen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thank you, Strong Bad. We look forward to hearing from you next week.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{subdued}'' Thank you, Supreme Overlord.

''{Homestar leans offscreen. Cut to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And with that, our meeting is adjourned. So everybody buddy up and get to work on that secret handshake. I'm gonna go take a bath in a pile of gold coins.

''{Homestar walks offscreen. Cut to Strong Bad and The Cheat imitating the movements Homestar and the King of Town made earlier, with their hands on their hips. Cut to the words "end, friend." on a black screen}''

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on "friend." at the end of the short to see Homestar Runner lying in a bathtub full of gold coins in the bathroom of the Brothers Strong.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing to the tune of the ''[[Wikipedia:DuckTales|DuckTales]]'' theme song}'' Lasers, race cars, aeroplanes, doot doo, ah-doot doo!

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*"Broternal" is a [[portmanteau]] of "brotherhood" and "fraternal", two words that are often found in names of male-only secret societies.
*[[Wikipedia:Minutes|Meeting minutes]] are a summary of what was discussed at a meeting.
*Rollover minutes, offered by [[Wikipedia:AT&T Mobility|AT&T Mobility]] (formerly Cingular Wireless), are unused wireless phone minutes from one month that can be carried over and used in the next.
*The page title conforms to the practice of referring to a [[Wikipedia:Local union|local union]] as a "local" followed by that local union's number. These organizations are also commonly named "brotherhoods" or "fraternal orders".

===Trivia===
*This toon's [[Irregular Loading Screens|loading screen]] reads, "loading, friend."

===Remarks===
*Bubs refers to last month's minutes, implying monthly meetings. However, Homestar Runner implies at the end that the meetings are weekly, unless of course this is the first meeting of a month.

===Goofs===
[[Image:StrongMadMouth everandmore.png|thumb|MY FACE! MY FACE! PLEASE DON'T PUT NEEDLES IN MY FACE!!]]
*When Strong Mad holds up the needle, his "O" mouth animation causes an extra line (his chin) to overlap the needle.
*There are numerous inconsistencies regarding the placement of the characters around the table. For instance, in the first shot Coach Z is on Strong Sad's right, but when they are singing "Ever and More!" The King of Town appears on Strong Sad's right. Also, the Poopsmith is on Bubs's left when he is talking about his lucky pants, but during the song Strong Bad is on Bubs's left. Also, during the song, Strong Mad's silhouette appears right next to Homestar's, but when Homestar asks Strong Sad why he isn't singing, Pom Pom is right next to him, not Strong Mad.

===Inside References===
* The order's song was previously sung by Homestar in [[the movies]]. Homestar also wore the [[horned helmet]] in that email.
* Strong Sad's astronaut costume was previously seen in [[senior prom]], though he's only wearing the helmet part here.
* Strong Bad's miner helmet was seen in the emails [[cheatday]] and [[different town]].
* The King of Town's [[pickelhaube]] is similar to the one [[The Kaiser]], his [[Old-Timey]] counterpart, wears.
* The Broternal Order's secret handshake is another reference to characters' [[lack of visible arms]].
* When Strong Sad is told that he believes in the message of the song, he [[Strong Sad smiling|smiles]].
* The pennant on the wall reads "[[LEMKE]]!".
* Bubs's jetski is labeled "WETSKi", another instance of [[lowercase i's]].
* Bubs mentions his lucky [[pants]].
* Pom Pom's [[Wikipedia: samurai|samurai]] helmet is a reference to Pom Pom's [[Pom Pom#Fighting Skills|martial arts skills]].
* The webpage title mentions [[style]].
* Coach Z is drinking a [[Coldson Lite]].
* Bubs says the phrase "[[why come]]".
* There is an [[interrupted conversation]] at beginning of this cartoon.
* The King of Town [[The King of Town Booing|boos]] himself.

===Real-World References===
[[Image:Cold Ones Light Old Style.png|thumb|Old Style Cold Ones]]
*The Poopsmith is wearing [[Wikipedia:Judge Dredd|Judge Dredd]]'s helmet.
*The [[Cold Ones]] Light poster closely resembles the [[Wikipedia:Pabst Brewing Company#Old Style|Old Style]] beer logo.
*The lyrics Homestar sings in the bathtub of gold coins are a rearranged segment of the theme song to [[Disney]]'s ''[[Wikipedia:DuckTales|DuckTales]],'' with the lines "racecars, lasers, aeroplanes" changed to "lasers, racecars, aeroplanes", and "It's a duck blur" replaced with "Doot do, ah doot-do." Homestar's behavior mirrors that of [[Wikipedia: Scrooge McDuck|Scrooge McDuck]], the central character in DuckTales, who enjoys swimming through his coin-filled [[Wikipedia:Money Bin|Money Bin]].
*[[BUBRUB]] may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Whistle tip#Internet culture|Bubb Rubb]], who became an internet phenomenon after appearing on a story by [[Wikipedia:KRON-TV|KRON-TV]] about whistle tips, devices welded into a car's muffler to cause a loud whistle as the exhaust gas passes through. Further, [[the Brothers Chaps]] paraphrase his "catchphrase" in the DVD commentary.

==DVD Version==
*The DVD title of the toon is "Ever and More" without the exclamation point.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

''{music is playing in the background.}''

'''MIKE:''' So we've got the jazz stylings of Ryan... Michael Sterritt. Is your middle name Michael?

'''RYAN:''' Yes.

'''MIKE:''' That's my first name.

'''RYAN:''' Really?

'''MIKE:''' But my middle name is not Ryan.

'''RYAN:''' Why not?

'''MIKE:''' Anyway, Matt?

'''MATT:''' Uh, this cartoon came from something from a very long time ago, uh... when we just thought of Homestar Runner singing an "Ever and More, Ever and More" song. I don't know what it came from.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, with a viking helmet on.

'''MATT''': Yeah. And so we stuck it in that movies sbemail, and then decided that that means Homestar's in some kind of elks lodge type thing.

'''MIKE:''' My question to you, Matt, is "What is the team— the football team that Strong Mad is on?"

'''MATT:''' Uh, the— the Nachos?

'''MIKE:''' Eh, are they just called the Nachos?

'''MATT:''' I don't know. It's got a nice fresh jalepeño on it though.

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

'''MATT:''' It's kind of a poor nacho honestly.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Ha! Come on!

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping Mike}'' A corn chip with a single fresh jalepeño on it.

'''MIKE:''' That's classy, man! That's classy!

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping Mike}'' That does not make—

'''MIKE:''' Haven't you ever been to a fancy restaurant? It's all about presentation.

'''MATT:''' Um...

'''MIKE:''' Look at the stairs.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Oh, we're in Pom Pom's basement, right? Have we decided—?

'''MIKE:''' The rumpus room.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Pom Pom's got a nice bunk basement. ''{pause}'' Um.. ''{watching Bubs's treasurer scene}'' That looks like one of those like— when little kids have fire helmets, those plastic fire helmets they let little kids wear.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. The party favor, like, birthday hats.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

''{Bubs holds up the [[Wetski]]}''

'''MIKE:''' The Wetski!

''{Bubs holds up his broken shin}''

'''MATT:''' Eww.

''{Bubs holds up his [[BUBRUB!]]}''

'''MATT:''' BUBRUB! ''{both laugh}'' He makes it go ''{singing}'' "Ooh! Ooh!" ''{pause}'' Do you want a "cold ones Light" po— poster, Ryan, for your rumpus room?

'''RYAN:''' I do.

'''MATT:''' Let's make those.

'''RYAN:''' You should.

'''MATT:''' We'll get sued by Old Style.

''{everyone laughs}''

'''RYAN:''' Can't get it down here anyways.

'''MATT:''' That's true. ''{pause}'' And we all know that the only people that buy stuff from our website ''{laughs}'' live here in Decatur.

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' So, do these things still— when we're older, in our fifties, are there still gonna be these kind of elk lodges things?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I don't know. Or, like, is our generation gonna, just, kill 'em off basically?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, or do— as we get older are we gonna want to do that?

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

'''MIKE:''' I'd kinda like to hang out in some weird hall with a few other guys—

'''MATT:''' Put on a funny hat.

'''MIKE:''' —put on a funny hat—

'''MATT:''' Sing a song.

'''MIKE:''' —maybe do things on Saturday mornings.

'''MATT:''' Yeah?

'''RYAN:''' Are you gonna have breakfast?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Um... Ryan, you're really soothing me. I can't think of anything to say because I'm so soothed.

'''MIKE:''' Sing!

'''MATT:''' I've been sooth-sayed.

'''MIKE:''' Why don't you do a little singing?

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping Mike}'' The Cheat looks like— The Cheat's a bobby.

'''MIKE:''' That rhymes.

Kerrek asks Strong Bad about Homsar. Pen puppets ensue.

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Two}}

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' Ahh...so many emails, so little good emails.

''{reading}''

<blockquote class="compy email">What's up with Homsar? I know he's 
weird and all, but don't you think we 
deserve to know a bit more about him? 
I think you should do an interview so 
we can finally find out what his 
deal is. 
 
Kerrek 
PA</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "PA" as "P-A".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, that's a pretty cool name! ''{typing in a Gothic blackletter font}'' And then Trogdor smote the Kerrek, and all was laid to burnination. ''{Clears the screen, starts typing normally}'' My good Kerrek, you might enjoy such an encounter, but I know I can't talk to that guy for more than about 3 seconds before I start thinking that gnawing my own leg off might be a more better way to spend my time...more...more better. ''{clears screen, continues typing}'' Let me show you how it would go down with post-its attached to the top of pens.

''{Strong Bad ducks his head and brings up two pens with sticky notes attached to them, one with a crude drawing of Strong Bad, the other of Homsar. Strong Bad does the voices for both puppets.}''

'''STRONG BAD PUPPET:''' All right, then. For the record, please. Tell us who you are.

'''HOMSAR PUPPET:''' DaAaAaA! I'm a song from the sixties!

'''STRONG BAD PUPPET:''' That's just nonsense. Are you trying to make some sense?

'''HOMSAR PUPPET:''' AaAaA! Rightio! I think I can twice!

'''STRONG BAD PUPPET:''' Homsar, tell us about your childhood.

'''HOMSAR PUPPET:''' DaAa! I was raised by a cup of coffee.

'''STRONG BAD PUPPET:''' Interesting. So! How did you end up here?

'''HOMSAR PUPPET:''' 'Twas the pride of the peaches.

'''STRONG BAD PUPPET:''' 'Twas the pride of the peaches, huh? You got any last remarks?

'''HOMSAR PUPPET:''' DaAaA! Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk!

'''STRONG BAD PUPPET:''' Okay, interview over. Commence beating! ''{Strong Bad starts beating the Homsar puppet with the Strong Bad puppet.}''

''{The doorbell rings. Cut to a wide shot of Strong Bad kneeling in front of the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! That'll be The Cheat with my Thai iced tea! Come on in!

''{Cut to the entryway. Homsar shuffles in.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' AaAaAaAaAaAaA! Hey Reggie! Is that rhinoceros around?

''{His hat stays an inch above his head. Cut to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Um... I can only assume you're talking to me and asking about Strong Sad. He's in the basement.

''{Cut to Homsar. His hat falls down.}''

'''HOMSAR:''' ''{His hat makes a full loop as he says this.}'' I'm a song from the sixties.

''{Cut to Strong Bad, who is now sitting on the stool and shaking salt on his leg.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' If you don't get down there quick, things could get real ugly around here.

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

''{After a while, The Cheat shows up with Strong Bad's Thai iced tea but Strong Bad doesn't notice him. The Cheat then walks away. Strong Bad continues salting his leg indefinitely.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Once Strong Bad starts typing and the name Kerrek comes up, click on it to bring up a Strong Sad-style drawing of [[Trogdor]] smiting the [[Kerrek]].
*Click on Strong Bad's or Homsar's [[Sticky Notes|sticky-note]] figures to see a few different versions. This can be done throughout the whole email.
*Once Homsar appears, click on the bottom lightswitch for the lighting effects from [[techno]] and the top one to turn the other lights off. This happens only until the scene changes back to Strong Bad.
*After The Paper comes down, click on the floppy disk near the two puppets to bring up the [[Homsar Main Page]].
**The original version of the Homsar Main Page had only the Toons and Games buttons. After it was added as an Easter egg on the [[Main Pages]], it was normalized to fit in (more or less) with the rest of the menus.

== Fun Facts ==
=== Trivia ===
[[Image:interviewwithmainpagefeatures.PNG|thumb|An email and a main page in one!]]
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#rise of the dragon|rise of the dragon]]".
*All of the objects for the Homsar Main Page are included as part of this email's Flash file. Using a seek bar to view the menu page before viewing the email, and then watching the email afterward, causes all of the features from external Flash files normally used on the main pages (i.e. the homepage list, the "What's New" button) to appear during the rest of the email.
**This can also be accomplished in the Flash file by viewing the Homsar main page, right-clicking, and then choosing "Rewind" or "Play".
*As popular as the idea has become, Homsar did not actually say that he was raised by a cup of coffee until an Easter egg in [[Haunted Photo Booth]], fourteen years later.
*The words written on the Homsar sticky notes are (in order): "Stoop", "Gomp", and "bread??".
*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Strong Bad sorta interviews Homsar. Also, I had forgotten that it was actually Strong Bad who invented, 'I was raised by a cup of coffee.""

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad catches himself saying "more better", which is [[Strong Bad's Spelling|incorrect grammar]].
*The salt shaker never runs out of salt at the end of the email. (In [[anything]], a bottle of [[Mountain Dew]] acts the same way and [[Homestar Runner]] comments on it.)

===Goofs===
*For some reason, the table's shadowing is not complete, so a brighter brown bar appears under the Compy after Homsar's first scene.
*The sticky notes and pens do not cast reflections on the Compy's screen.
*A small blue dot is visible at the bottom of Homsar's right foot. It is best seen when viewing the Flash file and zooming in.
*After the camera goes back to Strong Bad, the sticky notes return to their default pictures regardless of which version was showing before.
*After the camera goes back to Strong Bad, the Compy's contrast buttons are gone.
*If the computer room and the room that Homsar enters are one and the same, there should be the brown carpet covering the whole room. However, when the camera switches to Homsar, there is no carpet, but just a bare floor. The room that Homsar is in appears to be the computer room, because there are two lightswitches, one regular one, and The Cheat's, which is mentioned in [[techno]]. Also, the No Loafing sign is visible by Homsar, which should loom just to the left of the Compy.
*On the [[YouTube]] version of this email, the title is spelled as "Strong Bad '''Emil'''".

===Inside References===
*One of Strong Bad's sticky-note alter egos is his action figure from the email [[action figure]].
*Strong Bad referring to salting and eating his own foot recalls [[island]], where he says, while pondering what life on a deserted island with Homestar would be like, "And at some point my foot would look like a sandwich and I'd put salt on it and try to eat it and it's like, 'Oh, no! It's my foot!'"
*The second Strong Bad sticky-note drawing (the one showing him running) is similar to the caricature of him seen in a [[vacation]] Easter egg.
*The drawing style of Trogdor smiting the Kerrek was first seen in the email [[dragon]] when Strong Bad was singing about Trogdor.
*There is another appearance of [[bread]] in the Easter egg.
*There is an incongruous use of the word "[[twice]]".

===Real-World References===
*The phrase "Don't fake the funk on a nasty dunk" was said by [[Wikipedia:Shaquille O'Neal|Shaquille O'Neal]] in his first [[Wikipedia:Reebok|Reebok]] commercial.
*The flying skull-like Strong Bad head is a reference to the Bubble, an enemy from the [[Wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda series|Legend of Zelda series]]. However, Bubbles did not have wings in some games from the series.
*[[Wikipedia:Thai tea|Thai iced tea]] is a chilled drink made with red tea, anise, sugar and condensed milk.

===Fast Forward===
*The Kerrek appears later in [[Peasant's Quest]].
*Sticky-note Homsar's quote "I was raised by a cup of coffee" gives rise to the motto on the back of the [[Store T-Shirts#tshirt homsar coffee|Homsar - Raised by a Cup of Coffee]] shirt, and later the front of the [[Store#tshirt coffee|Raised by a Cup of Coffee Shirt]] in the [[Store]].
**Homsar himself would later say the line in [[Haunted Photo Booth]].
*The "bat winged Strong Bad head" seen on the sticky note was later seen in [[Decemberween Short Shorts]].
*Homsar's "parents" were later seen in an Easter egg in [[fan club]], and on the Homsar Reservation flag in [[Strong Badia the Free]].
*Homsar again says "I'm a song from the sixties" in Strong Badia the Free. Strong Bad (when temporarily able to understand Homsar) says (or at least Strong Sad hears him say) "'twas the pride of the peaches," suggesting it's something that Homsar might have said.

Defender1031 — Tue, 15 Sep 2020 23:55:44 GMT

''{Strong Bad sings "Wy" as "why" in a soft high-pitched voice.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Chris, let me be frank. The term "rockin' cool" is so uncool it makes my face hurt.

''{clears screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, now all the "rockin' cool"s are off the screen,

''{He shrieks as he realizes what he's typed, and clears the screen again.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' They're gone. Those things are vicious. Anyway Frank, I believe your question was about my secret identity. Well, let me ask you this: have you ever seen The Poopsmith and I in the same place at the same time?

''{Cut to a wide shot of the computer room. The Poopsmith is standing behind Strong Bad and to his right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Dun dun DUUUNH! That's right! It is I who dons the crappy orange gloves and shovels—

''{The Poopsmith jabs Strong Bad a couple of times with his shovel. Strong Bad stops typing and turns to face him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the?! What are you ''doing'' here? ''{shakes his fist a little as he talks}'' You ruined my scam, man! I was gonna have all of everyone believing that '''I''' was you and that the steaming pile of whatsit was really a smoldering pile of money covered in whatsit. How'd you get in here anyways?

''{Homestar Runner approaches from the left side of the computer, holding a hamburger.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I let him in. ''{to The Poopsmith}'' Here you go. ''{hands him the hamburger}'' Oh, ''{angrily turns to Strong Bad}'' and you're out of mayo.

''{Homestar and The Poopsmith exit toward the left. Strong Bad turns and addresses the camera.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Is there like a sign on my door that says ''{makes a sweeping gesture}'' "Wanted: Everyone I hate. Inquire within."?

''{The King of Town approaches from the right side of the computer.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I didn't see one.

''{Strong Bad utters some frustrated gibberish and turns back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{resumes typing}'' So apparently I'm not The Poopsmith. But I got lots of secret identities. Lately, I've been using this one: Tip Tappers: Expensive Briefcase Carrier. I use Mr. Tappers when I'm on tour and I want to check into a hotel and not be bothered by legions of fans.

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand, now labeled Bubs' Motor Lodge, at night. On the sign is a neon caricature of Bubs's head with three neon Z's next to it, each of which light up in cascading fashion. Bubs is wearing a nametag and Strong Bad has with him a briefcase. A sign-in book is on the counter.}''

'''BUBS:''' And what name will this room be under?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, Tip Tappers, please. Unless some girl asks what room Strong Bad's in. And she's at least a seven out of ten. Or uh... ''{thinks}'' six if she's naked.

'''BUBS:''' That'll be nine hundred dollars Mr. ''{clears his throat loudly}'' Tappers.

''{Homestar emerges from behind the building, carrying an empty ice bucket, wearing his cinnamon beard, and dressed in a robe, a gold shirt that reads "I &hearts; Toxic Waste", and pink bunny slippers.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Is there an ice machine around here?

'''BUBS:''' Certainly, Mr. Dee Williams.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And then there's Vance Mudgeman. I use that identity when I drop in on my secret second family over in Broiter Grove. Ahh, those kids love Daddy Mudgeman.

''{Cut to the trailer home. Strong Bad is sitting in a green armchair watching TV. He is wearing a grease-stained A-shirt and has a couple of days' growth of beard stubble on his face. Kids' laughter can be heard in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{to someone off screen}'' You get back here with that remote, Jeffrey Beffrey Mudgeman. I'm not afraid to smack— ''{holds up his glove menacingly}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Yes, well, you gotta be firm. ''{clears his throat}'' And then of course there's the secret identity I use to write my advice column for a popular women's magazine.

''{An issue of ''Scarfgirl'' magazine appears from the bottom of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Using the pseudoname Cara Carabowditbowdit, I'm slowly but surely making the girls of the world cooler for all us dudes.

''{Cut to the smoky office. Strong Bad sits at an old typewriter, wearing a brown wig with a skull and bone on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Dear Buttless in Bedstuy, Sounds like YOU need to play more video games, galpal. And not those girly ones where you pretend to be a dog or a frog neither. I'm talkin' about the explodey ones. The kind that make you dizzy when you play 'em. Then maybe your guy will stop talking about his ex. Eat a Steak, Cara Carabowditbowdit. ''{He finishes by typing "XOXOXO".}''

''{Cut to Marzipan's house. Marzipan and Homestar are sitting together on her couch, and Marzipan is reading ''Scarfgirl''.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{angrily}'' This lady doesn't know what she's talking about. And I don't like her pseudoname.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aw, you're just jealous 'cause she gets all the hot boys.

''{A crumpled ball of paper flies in from off screen and hits Homestar in the face.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Marzipan, mail's here.

''{He reaches down and picks it up.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' What's it say?

''{Homestar uncrumples it and reads the following. Strong Bad has scribbled over his own name.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' "No I don't. Strong Bad." I mean, "Cara Carabowditbowdit."

'''MARZIPAN:''' See, I told you.

''{Homestar opens his mouth, cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So you see? Secret identities aren't just for superheroes and Garth Brooks anymore. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have several butts to jettison from my home.

''{He gets up and goes off to the left.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{grunts from off screen as he throws Homestar}''

''{Homestar flies across the screen and lands with a thud.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks for having me overrrrr!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{grunts from off screen as he throws the King.}''

''{The King, too, flies across the screen and lands with a thud.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Worst mayonnaise party everrrr!

''{The Poopsmith walks across while being prodded all the while by Strong Bad using a fondue fork.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out. Get out.

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

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Sb and poopsmith.PNG|thumb|The Poopbad or The Strongsmith?]]
*After Strong Bad says "Laramie, Why?", click on the phrase to get a book of the same name, written by [[Leomard Sportsinterviews#Beverly Sportsinterviews|Beverly]] and [[Leomard Sportsinterviews|Lem Sportsinterviews]].
*After Strong Bad types "So apparently I'm not The Poopsmith," click on "The Poopsmith" to see a picture that is a cross between The Poopsmith and Strong Bad, with Strong Bad's head and feet, The Poopsmith's mouth and body, and a mix of Strong Bad's and The Poopsmith's gloves.
*While Strong Bad is checking in to Bubs' Motor Lodge, click on the reservations book to see it up close.
*Click on the Lappy's screen at the end to see a scene with Marzipan, Homestar, and Strong Sad.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Maybe I should get me one of them pseudonames.
:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{hyperactive, leans in from the left side of the screen}'' It's "-nym"! It's "-nym"! It's pseudo''nym''! Not pseudo''name''! I can't take it anymore! Nym nym nym! It's a Greek word for "name"! Pseudo''nym''! Pseudo''nym''! ''{leans back out}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*Bedstuy is short for [[Wikipedia:Bedford-Stuyvesant|Bedford-Stuyvesant]], a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Brooklyn.
*A [[Wikipedia:Daemon (computer software)|daemon]], sometimes called a service, is a background process that serves an important function in a computer system. Common uses for daemons include such things as sending email or running [[Wikipedia:Web server|web]] and [[Wikipedia:File Transfer Protocol|FTP]] servers.
**The word "daemon" can be correctly pronounced "DEE-mon" (just like "demon"), or "DAY-mon", similar to how Strong Bad pronounces it in this email.
*"Pseudoname" is a common misspelling of "[[Wikipedia:pseudonym|pseudonym]]", a fictitious name used as an alternative to one's legal name. As Strong Sad suggests, "pseudonym" is derived from the Greek word for name, ὄνυμα ''onyma'', which gives rise to the combining form ''-onym'' in English.
*A cowboy is featured on the cover of "Laramie, Why?" because [[Wikipedia:Laramie, Wyoming|Laramie]] is a popular setting for [[Wikipedia:westerns|westerns]]. The book cover may also refer to Laramie Cigarette advertisements, which often feature a simple red/white border color scheme with an image of a cowboy in a relaxed pose.

===Trivia===
*Bubs's marquee reads:
<blockquote>BUBS' MOTOR 
LODGE 
FORMERLY BUBSO'S CONCES5ION STAND </blockquote>

*Bubs's nametag reads:
<blockquote>My Name 
BUBS</blockquote>

*Marzipan's [[Periodicals|issue]] of [[Scarfgirl]] reads:
<blockquote>Scarfgirl 
fashion AND environment stuff     feb. 
 
is politics bad? 
[[HYBRID CARS]]!! 
CELEB SHOCKERS! 
A PURSE!</blockquote>

:*The woman on the cover is [[Jackie Chapman]].
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad was added several hours after the initial release of the toon.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#sam and max|sam and max]]".

===Bubs' Motor Lodge Registry===

*Bubs' Motor Lodge Registry reads:
<pre>
one double - mr. allan poe
PAID! queen suite - ms. cousteau
one king - mr. boyardee PAID!
PAID! smelly cot - mr. five freddy
posh suite - mr. chamberlain DISCO TAPE!
COMPED! one racecar bed - mr. dee williams
one grill - mr. tesmacher PAID TWICE!
PENCIL SHAVINGS!
</pre>

For the identities of the people in Bubs's Sign-In Book, see [[Secret Identities#Other Characters|Secret Identities]].

===Remarks===
*The sound when the Poopsmith is poking Strong Bad with his shovel and when Strong Bad is poking the Poopsmith to make him leave is the "Droplet" error sound from the old [[Wikipedia:Mac OS|Mac OS]].
*Strong Bad and The Poopsmith have actually appeared together several times in the past, most notably in [[big white face]], [[haircut]], [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], and at the end of most [[Holidays|holiday toons]].
*If he is to be believed, then Strong Bad is apparently the only main character to have offspring, his second family as Vance Mudgeman. The only other main characters who may possibly have had kids are the King of Town (who originally would have been Marzipan's father) and Coach Z (who implied that he was a mother in [[garage sale]]). However, given Strong Bad's propensity for scams and cons, it's entirely possible that the Mudgeman children are not actually his.
*If the Mudgeman trailer is the trailer in [[portrait]], then the setting has apparently changed since then. In that email, there was a portrait of Strong Bad to the left of the "Born to be Danged" poster, and the moose lamp at the right was originally on the left, and was broken.
**Also, the moose lamp was slightly taller in [[portrait]].
*In the Easter egg at the end, Homestar states that he would like a pseudonym, even though earlier in the toon, Bubs refers to him as Mr. Dee Williams, implying that he has already been using one.
*When Strong Bad is opening his email, he opens it as a .wad instead of a .exe.
*Strong Bad's typewriter only makes a carriage return sound once every three lines, even when typing the header and signature.

===Goofs===
*Strong Bad commits a common grammatical error by asking "Have you ever seen The Poopsmith and I...?" Because it is in the predicate of the sentence, the phrase should be "The Poopsmith and me." In simpler terms, the sentence should make sense by itself when either "the Poopsmith" or "me" is omitted. 
*In the Easter egg when Strong Sad says "it's pseudonym", there is a dot by his lip.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When the email was first released, the name in Bubs's register that reads "mr. allan poe" was incorrectly spelled as "mr. allen poe", a common misspelling of the name of American author [[Edgar Allan Poe]]. This was corrected later in the day.

===Inside References===
*The book title "Laramie, Why?" is a reference to the similar title "Eww, Claire!! Why???" from [[origins]], which was also written by Beverly Sportsinterviews.
*The room in which Vance Mudgeman is sitting (with the moose lamp and "Born to be Danged" poster) is in a double-wide trailer, first seen in the email [[portrait]]. The moose lamp is probably a reference to Homestar's "moose lamp" in the same email.
*"BUBSO'S CONCES5ION STAND" is a reference to [[geddup noise]].
*Strong Bad prods the Poopsmith with a fondue fork to encourage him to leave. Homestar has borrowed [[Strong Bad's Fondue Pot|Strong Bad's fondue set]] at least twice.
*Bubs's name tag is a reference to [[Puppets on the Road]], where [[Shark-Tooth Bubs]] says, "My name Shark-Tooth Bubs."
*Bubs accepted pencil shavings as legal tender in [[lackey]], as he does here, as evidenced by his guestbook.
*Homestar's [[Homestar Runner's Sleepwear|bathrobe and slippers]] were introduced in [[caper]], as was his [[cinnamon]] beard.
*Strong Bad mentions that his secret family lives in Broiter Grove, a town also found on the back of the discontinued [[Limozeen]] concert T-shirt.
*''[[Whaddaya Know, Haddi-Man?]]'' is playing on the TV in the Mudgeman home.
*This email contains an instance of [[Hyperactive Strong Sad]].
*This is another reference to [[steak]].

===Real-World References===
*"strongbad_email.wad" and "Initiate sbemail-refresh daemon" are both homages to [[Doom]].
*The mention of [[Wikipedia:Garth Brooks|Garth Brooks]] is a reference to his 1999 rock & roll alter-ego, [[Wikipedia:Chris Gaines|Chris Gaines]], which he assumed for a movie deal that fell through.
*Homestar's ''[http://www.founditemclothing.com/t-shirts/toxic.html I ♥ Toxic Waste]'' shirt and pink bunny slippers are references to the movie [[Wikipedia:Real Genius|Real Genius]].
*The name Jeffrey Beffrey could be a literary nod to the Goose from [[Wikipedia:Charlotte's Web|Charlotte's Web]] by E. B. White. The Goose called her son "Jeffrey-Effrey" in her unique rhyming speech.
* The name Tip Tappers may refer to [[Wikipedia:Tip Tipping|Tip Tipping]], a 1980s stuntman who acted in many famous productions, including [[Wikipedia:Doctor Who|Doctor Who]] and [[Indiana Jones]].



*Buttless in Bedstuy is a reference to the convention of signing letters to advice columns as "(adjective) in (location)", and may be a direct reference to the movie ''[[Wikipedia:Sleepless in Seattle|Sleepless in Seattle]]''.

===Fast Forward===
* Strong Bad's Cara Carabowditbowdit wig is a costume item in [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]].

=== Commentary Transcript ===

('''Commentary by:''' [[Homestar Runner]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' This time it's me! This time it's me! This time it's me! This time it's me!

'''MIKE:''' Great!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That was ''my'' Strong Bad Email intro song. It's called, "This Time It's You".

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' In parentheses: "(This Time It's Me)"

'''MIKE:''' Homestar, settle down.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What?

'''MIKE:''' This email talks about secret identities. Now, do you have any secret identities?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, ye — no — s! ''{finishes with a hissing 's' sound, as though the word "no" interrupted the word "yes"}''

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You see, I interrupted my "yes" with a "no" in the middle.

'''MIKE:''' Y-E, dot, dot, dot. Yeah, okay.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah. Okay, "rockin' cool". So, now let's talk about "rockin' cool".

'''MIKE:''' Uh, "rockin' cool"?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So, why would he try and convince people that he's The Poopsmith — the poop digger?

'''MIKE:''' The poop digger?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What kind of scam?

'''MIKE:''' Um, he was gonna make millions.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' How was he...

'''MIKE:''' ''{talking over Homestar}'' It was a pyramid scheme, I think.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ohhhhh.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, so...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{talking over Mike}'' I get — I get into those all the time!

'''MIKE:''' It's like, you get people to think that ''you're'' The Poopsmith, and then once they believe it they get other people to believe that ''they're'' The Poopsmith.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{talking over Mike, Mike becomes untillegible}'' Ooh! Look at that sandwich I made The Poopsmith! I think it was — I think I made him a McRib. ''{pause}'' You know, I — I should probably stop making copies of his keys, from Strong Bad's house and giving 'em out at parties.

'''MIKE:''' Where'd you get the first one?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Um, I think I made it from soaps.

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I fashioned it out of soaps.

'''MIKE:''' And then you were able to make copies out of it?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' Wow!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah! Soap —

'''MIKE:''' Soap key copiers?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes!

'''MIKE:''' All right.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's true. I wish Bubs' had that sign again. I remember coming home from trips, you know, like, you'd be out on the road —

'''MIKE:''' Uh huh.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' — and then you'd pass by Bubs' Motor Lodge and that little sleepy Bubs would be zzz-ing ''{pronounced zeezing}'' at you.

'''MIKE:''' Look who it is!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh!

'''MIKE:''' What's your shirt say?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I love toxic waste.

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's like, Chris Knight's from Real Genius.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Ohh.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I always sign in my alias as Mr. D. Williams. ''{pause}'' Who are those kids? Do you hear those kids?

'''MIKE:''' I do. That's Jeffrey Beffrey Mudgeman. ''{laughs as he says the name}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That kid needs to shut his mouth! Jeffrey already knows his ABCs. Hit the deck! ''{pause}'' Hey, that — I know that lady!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' You do?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah!

'''MIKE:''' Who is it?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I don't know.

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Some lady. ''{pause}'' Um, so, let's talk about scarfgirls, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, "Scarfgirls" has made a resurgence in the last few years.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, it's seems like they used to just live in Athens, Georgia.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Now they live everywhere.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now they're all over the place. They wear large scarves, they like to knit.

'''MIKE:''' They knit, and —

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' They're pretty eco-conscious.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' They probably have their own business. At least their own blog!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Is Marzipan a scarfgirl?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You know, she's kind of a hybrid.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' She's kind of got some scarfgirl elements, but —

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, she's got, like, part of gasoline and part electric. More. ''{pause}'' Yeah, I remember getting that mail! It was weird! It was the one day the mailman mailed mail by throwing paper balls at me. He never does that no more.

'''MIKE:''' No?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Who is the mailman in our town, anyways?

'''MIKE:''' Uh, I'm gonna guess — Coach Z?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You think so?

'''MIKE:''' Oh, I don't know.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Maybe so. Ooh, jettison! The Jettisons. I love that cartoon. ''{pause}'' Do you like Sam & Max?

'''MIKE:''' I do. I like mayonnaise parties, too.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I have to go to the bathroom.

'''MIKE:''' I don't like mayonnaise anymore after I got some fried shrimp covered in mayonnaise at a Thai restaurant.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ewww.

I've been gone for a while, so fill me in about all the new stuff about this site please! Yes again.. High School's a pain.

=Gaiaonline=

GaiaOnline is by-far the most popular Role Playing, Anime-inspired Forums website of all time! Click the link below to check it out!
"Gaia has become a kiddy site" - Various Gaians
On there, I am "Lord Balmung of Azure Sky".
http://www.gaiaonline.com/

=Menewsha=

Menewsha is what I call "a baby version of Gaia, and will be full of a bunch
of surprises!"
On there I am "Aiparon".

=IMVU=

IMVU is one of the most popular 3D chat programs. It is very hard to get items
if you do not have a credit card. Most (good) items cost at least 350 credits.
On there, I am keeping the Elemental Warriors Events tradition (from Gaia) going
by using the name "OmegaSuza".
Kæmanian Comics Inc. is working on an event on there, using the accounts of "OmegaSuza", "JuganTakanashi", and others from the Gaian events.
I've said too much xD

=Origins=

I am from Dogtown St. Louis, an Irish part of St. Louis in Missouri. After a year I was born and moved down to St. Peters.

Due to my birthday and time of birth, I am superstitious about the number 13. I was born on April 13th 1992 at 1:13 PM (13:13 Military Time), my first and last name equal 13 letters (TIMOTHY ******). There are 13 steps on the staircase to my bedroom.

I am facinated by the Greek letters and of the Irish language (Gaelic), and of the Japanese language. I am a Satanist, but does not mean that I'm evil. It is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaVeyan_Satanism LaVeyanism], founded by sir Anton Szandor LaVey in 1966. We do NOT literally worship Satan!

I joined HRWiki in 2005 to learn more about the H*R world. You could call me a veteran.

Defender1031 — Mon, 10 Aug 2020 14:46:08 GMT

Defender1031: rv, then let me be clear. You have been told many times that you are not to enforce wiki policy. There are a lot of people in favor of removal, and a lot in favor of keeping. There is no consensus.

[[Image:Mellow_Mushroom.png|thumb|right|220px|Mel the Mellow Mushroom]]
'''[[Wikipedia:Mellow Mushroom|Mellow Mushroom]]''' is a chain of [[pizza]] restaurants headquartered in [[Georgia]]. [[The Brothers Chaps]] designed a [[The Brothers Chaps' Side Projects|non-Homestar Runner related site]] for them in 2001. The layout, navigation, and [[sound effects]] were all similar to those on [[homestarrunner.com]], and the voices of the brothers and [[Missy Palmer]] were very distinctive. The site was renovated in 2007 and the old content was archived. In 2009, the site was renovated once again, and the archive of this site was removed. The archived versions reappeared in 2011, but a year later the archived version disappeared.

The Brother Chaps' site design can currently be accessed on the chain's current site as an Easter egg on the main page.

==Characters==
*'''Mel O. Mushroom''' — Main character of Mellow Mushroom.
*'''Dude Shroomington''' — Mel O. Mushroom's friend. He seems to have a crush on Melody.
*'''Melody''' — Friendly employee of Mellow Mushroom.
*'''The Fun Guys: Port, Toe & Bello''' — Small mushroom-like men.
*'''Wizard''' — Helpful mountain wizard.

==Main Pages==

*'''Toons:''' Mellow Mushroom had only one cartoon, entitled "The Sun Almost Rises".
*'''Games:''' Mellow Mushroom had four games: Pizza Darts, ''[[Skateboarding]] Dude'', Wack-a-FunGuy, and Dress up Mel.
*'''Characters:''' The character page was in the style of a fountain drink machine.
*'''Mel-Locator:''' Presented the locations of all the Mellow Mushroom restaurants. Replaced with '''New Site''' when the site was revived.
*'''Downloads:''' Like Homestar Runner, Mellow Mushroom had a few downloads available, such as wallpaper, screensavers, and character icons.
*'''Menu:''' The menu showed all the food available from Mellow Mushroom restaurants.
*'''Gear:''' Much like the Homestar Runner [[Store]], there were several T-shirts and other such Mellow Mushroom memorabilia to purchase.
===In a variable button at the top===
*'''Links:''' The links to the individual Mellow Mushroom store websites.
*'''E-cards:''' Some e-cards were available to send.

==The Sun Almost Rises Transcript==

''{Open on a loading screen, a letter on a wood grain table reading "loading...". As it changes to "loaded.", another letter moves on top of it, reading "A Mellow Mushroom Cartoon", followed by "Starring Mel & Dude", then another with "The Sun Almost Rises" written on it. Music plays. Zoom in and fade out.}''

''{Cut to the inside of a mailbox. Mel opens it, revealing light, takes letters out, and closes it. Cut to Mel walking to his house in the rain, then cut to the interior as he walks in. The ceiling drips.}''

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' Sure is coming down hard out there.

''{Cut to Dude.}''

'''DUDE SHROOMINGTON:''' Looks like it's going up to me.

''{Cut back to Mel.}''

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' Dude, sit up straight-ways.

''{Cut to a wide shot, revealing Dude sitting upside down.}''

'''DUDE SHROOMINGTON:''' Oh, sorry. ''{sits upright}'' Hey, you're right, it is coming down! So what came in the mail, anything good?

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' Let's see.

''{Cut to the letters in Mel's hands as he shuffles through them.}''

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' A bill, a couple of crumby coupons, these can get thrown away. Oh, we got something from Melody up at the restaurant.

''{Cut to a wide shot. Dude quickly stands up.}''

'''DUDE SHROOMINGTON:''' Melody? ''{cut to a close-up; his pupils turn into hearts}'' Is it for me?!

''{Cut to the letter, showing a list of ingredients.}''

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' Uhh... yeah, it says, uh... "Dear Dude, you are the cutest talking mushroom that I ever saw."

''{Cut back to Dude.}''

'''DUDE SHROOMINGTON:''' Really?!

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

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' Nah, it really says "Dear Mel and Dude, here's a list of the ingredients I need by tomorrow:

''{Cut to Dude opening a cupboard as onions topple out and fall on him.}''

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' 16 red onions...

'''DUDE SHROOMINGTON:''' Got enough onions.

''{Cut to barrels of onions as the Fun Guys dive into them.}''

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' 105 black olives...

'''PORT (THE FUN GUYS):''' ''{weird noises}''

'''DUDE SHROOMINGTON:''' Got enough of that.

''{Cut to a pile of green bell peppers, with a sign reading "A LOT OF PEPPERS". Some of the peppers fall, revealing Dude underneath.}''

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' 8 bell peppers...

'''DUDE SHROOMINGTON:''' Check.

''{Cut to a barrel of garlic, reading "GARLIC". Dude rises up and looks over the garlic.}''

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' 12 cloves of garlic...

'''DUDE SHROOMINGTON:''' Got those.

''{Cut to two baskets sitting next to each other: an empty basket of "sundried tomatoes", and a full basket of "undried tomatoes".}''

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' And 24 sun-dried tomatoes!

''{Cut to Dude looking into the empty basket.}''

'''DUDE SHROOMINGTON:''' Uhh, we don't have the sun-dried tomatoes. We better start drying 'em now.

''{Cut to Mel.}''

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' Are you kidding? It's pouring out there! What are we going to do?!

''{Cut to the tomatoes.}''

'''DUDE SHROOMINGTON:''' ''{voiceover}'' I got it.

''{A flashlight shines over them. Cut to a wide shot, with Dude holding the flashlight.}''

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' Uhh, I don't think that'll cut it Dude, we better call Wizard.

''{Cut to a phone. It rings twice, and is picked up by Wizard.}''

'''WIZARD:''' Hello?

''{A diagonal telephone cord separates the screen as Mel appears in the top-left corner.}''

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' Hey Wiz, Mel here.

'''WIZARD:''' Oh, hello, Mel. What can I do for you?

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' Oh, uh, Dude and I have a bit of a problem; we need to sundry a bunch of tomatoes by tomorrow, but the rain is sorta getting in our way. Any ideas?

'''WIZARD:''' Hmmm... Have you tried a flashlight?

''{Cut to Mel. His eyes widen.}''

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' What?

'''WIZARD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Just kidding.

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' Oh.

''{Cut to a crystal ball, showing Dude with the flashlight.}''

'''WIZARD:''' I saw Dude trying that in my crystal ball.

''{Cut back to Wizard and Mel.}''

'''WIZARD:''' Actually I think you will find the solution in a bed.

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' ''{his eyes widen and he looks around}'' Say huh?

'''WIZARD:''' In a bed, the answer lies in a bed.

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' Say huh wha?

'''WIZARD:''' Goodbye, Mel.

''{They both put down the phones and walk away. Cut to Mel and Dude.}''

'''DUDE SHROOMINGTON:''' What did he say?

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' He says the answer lies in a bed.

''{Cut to Dude.}''

'''DUDE SHROOMINGTON:''' Say huh?

''{Cut to Mel.}''

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' That's what I said! Well, let's start trying.

''{Fade out, then fade in to Mel and Dude standing over a bed with tomatoes on it.}''

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' Hmmm... the answer lies in a bed. I don't know if this is gonna work.

'''DUDE SHROOMINGTON:''' Maybe we should turn the lights off and sing 'em a song.

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' Hey, wait. Maybe he was talking about a different kind of bed.

''{Cut to a garage door opening, revealing Mel and Dude with a brown truck with darts inside.}''

'''DUDE SHROOMINGTON:''' Where's the bed?

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' The truck, Dude, the bed of the truck.

'''DUDE SHROOMINGTON:''' I never slept there before.

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' Well, do you see anything in there that can help us?

'''DUDE SHROOMINGTON:''' Oh, there's my darts! Want to play some darts, Mel?!

''{Cut to Mel.}''

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' Dude! Stay on task!!

'''DUDE SHROOMINGTON:''' Oh, right, beds... let's see, what about a... bed of lettuce?

''{Cut to a plate of lettuce.}''

'''DUDE SHROOMINGTON:''' Here goes! ''{drops a tomato on the plate; crickets chirp}'' Now hold on a sec. Sometimes these types of things take a while.

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' ''{voiceover}'' You can wait there all you want, Dude. ''{cut to wide shot}'' It ain't gonna happen. We'll just have to tell Melody we'll get her the sun-dried tomatoes in a few days.

'''DUDE SHROOMINGTON:''' Oh, all right. ''{tosses the tomato in the garbage can}''

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' Don't throw them away!

''{Cut to the inside of the garbage can.}''

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' Hey, that's it!

''{Cut to the coupon, which reads "17¢ off at House of Rays Tanning Salon".}''

'''DUDE SHROOMINGTON:''' What?

''{Music plays. Cut to the full basket of sundried tomatoes, then cut to a wide shot of Mel and Dude next to a tanning bed with tomatoes on it.}''

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' Melody will never know the difference.

''{Fade out, then fade in to Mel, Dude, and Melody with ingredients in front of the restaurant.}''

'''MELODY:''' Well guys, everything looks pretty good, although the sundried tomatoes are smellin' a little bit like Coppertone.

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' Oh, uh... yeah, that's, uh... that's olive oil. You know... olive oil, ''{with air quotes}'' nature's Coppertone! ''{winks with a "ding"}''

''{Cut to Dude.}''

'''DUDE SHROOMINGTON:''' That's right, Mel! Nature's Coppertone. ''{winks with a "ding"}''

''{Cut to Melody.}''

'''MELODY:''' Why are you guys winkin' at each other?

''{Cut to a wide shot.}''

'''MEL O. MUSHROOM:''' Say huh?

'''DUDE SHROOMINGTON:''' Say huh wha?

''{A laugh track is heard. A black screen lowers down, and "the end" appears in white.}''

==Fun Facts==
*"Mountain Dude", mentioned on the Characters Page, is a play on [[Mountain Dew]], while "Melody-ade" sounds very much like [[Melonade]].
*On the menu, "Munchies" is the only thing that Melody doesn't say when you put your cursor over it.
*"Magical Mystery Tour" on the Pizza page is the title of an [[Wikipedia:Magical Mystery Tour (album)|album]], a [[Wikipedia:Magical Mystery Tour (film)|film]], and a [[Wikipedia:Magical Mystery Tour (song)|song]] made by [[The Beatles]].
**Another possible Beatles reference is on the Dress Up Mel page, where there are glasses and hair that resemble very closely the style of [[Wikipedia:John Lennon|John Lennon]].
*The only toon is "The Sun Almost Rises", a reference to [[Wikipedia:The Sun Also Rises|The Sun Also Rises]].
*When a button on the menu is highlighted, oftentimes, a dog can be heard barking and sometimes whining faintly.
*The characters the "Fun Guys" have a voice similar to that of [[The Cheat]].
*On the original menu of the old website, located inside Mel's house, the voice sample when the "Links" option is highlighted has a much higher sound quality than the others.

'''Page Title:''' Trogdor Musk - For Dragon Men

== Transcript ==
''{Open to a close-up of a person's red shirt, against a background fading from red to yellow. The shirt reads "WHEN THE Seventies", with "Seventies" written in a Coca-Cola-resembling font.}''

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT STRONG BAD:''' When the seventies, there was—

''{The shirt morphs into a Trogdor!! The Board Game box against a black background. It reads "TRAGDAR". Trogdor is smiling and making the "OK" sign with his hand, with armpit hair and a wristband. The side of the box reads "CONTAINS: CONTENTS".}''

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT STRONG BAD:''' —a commercial for a board game.

''{The board game box shakes and bursts open, with Trogdor, the Red and Blue Knights, two peasants, five tiles, a cottage base, and a burninated cottage roof flying out. The cottage roof stays in place for a moment, then moves with the rest a few seconds later.}''

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT STRONG BAD:''' It was a terrible song—

''{A vinyl record rotates as it comes into view. The top has a logo for "Terrible SONGS RECORDS". At the bottom, it reads "-TROGDOR WAS A MAN-", and below it, "THE POW-UH SURGE". The side reads "SIDE A".}''

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT STRONG BAD:''' —of Trogdor. They made seven inches—

''{Zoom out into Powered by The Cheat Strong Sad holding the record, against a blurry photographic house background. He closes his eyes and shakes his head, throwing the record over his shoulder.}''

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT STRONG BAD:''' —but even Strong Sad thought it was not ver—

''{Cut to Strong Bad's head bouncing exaggeratedly on The Cheat's computer against a rainbow background. The Cheat is silhouetted in front of the computer, and the desk is brown instead of blue. The record flies into a CD slot on the side of the computer.}''

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT STRONG BAD:''' So The Cheat made a video. ''{turns toward the camera and stops bouncing}'' Does this ''{snickering}'' sound like Strong Bad at all?

''{Cut to a silhouetted plug that reads "The Pow-uh Surge" against an electric green background. White text appears at the bottom:}''

<blockquote>
The Pow-uh Surge 
"Trogdor was a man" 
Terrible Songs Records 
Dir:The Cheat
</blockquote>

''{Cut to a zooming shot of Peasantry}''

'''SINGERS:''' Trogdor was a man. 
Trogdor was a ''dragon'' man.

Trogdor was a man. 
Trogdor was a ''dragon'' man.

And he was burninating, burninating, burninating the countryside!

Trogdor was a man. (S, more different S) 
Trogdor was a ''dragon'' man. (S, more different S)

(S, more different S) 
(Whispering things in the '70s)

And he was burninating, burninating, burninating the countryside!

Trogdor was a man. (Get consummate, get consummate)

Get consummate, get consummate 
Consummate V's

Maybe he was just a dragon. 
Maybe he was just a dragon. 
Maybe he was just a dragon. 
Well, he was still Trogdor. 

And the Trogdor comes in the NIGHT!

''{Cut to The Cheat and Strong Bad at The Cheat's computer desk}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{turns toward The Cheat}'' I don't know, The Cheat. There are a lot of inaccuracies present.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{turns toward Strong Sad; The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, for starters, Trogdor wasn't even around when the '70s. Strong Bad made him in the early 2000s. ''{emphasizes the "a" in "thousand"}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{lowers his eyebrows and turns back to his computer; The Cheat noises}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And what was going on with your depiction of me?

''{The Cheat clicks and brings up the picture of Powered by The Cheat Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' I have that creepy bony spine...

''{The Cheat clicks every time before Powered by The Cheat Strong Sad speaks}''

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT STRONG SAD:''' The Lusitania is my favorite boat.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No way! Everybody knows I'm a Mauretania man.

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

''{Zoom in to the screen}''

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT STRONG SAD:''' My boat is not your boat!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ugh, stop that!

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT STRONG SAD:''' This is gonna all be about boats now. ''{smiles with his tongue sticking out}''

''{Cut back to The Cheat and Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, that's a terrible idea!

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT STRONG SAD:''' My boat take—

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{interrupts}'' That's it! I'm going to the chiropractor! ''{walks away}'' Got me all self-conscious!

'''POWERED BY THE CHEAT STRONG SAD:''' Don't you like boats?

''{Zoom in to Powered by The Cheat Strong Sad's back. Three of the bone bumps wiggle and morph into the letters "end".}''

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
[[Image:The Cheat's New Mac.png|thumb|"Well, this is a new computer."]]
*The [[Monosodium Dreams]] has been replaced by a [[The Cheat's iMac (2018)|newer computer]] parodying the newer Intel-based [[Wikipedia:iMac|iMacs]].
*This is the first Powered by The Cheat toon since [[Fish Eye Lens]] in October 2014, an almost-four-year gap.

*The [[YouTube]] description for this video is "A Powered by The Cheat video for a song from a 70's commercial for a board game."

===Remarks===

*Strong Sad does not have a mouth in The Cheat's video, but he does in the animations at the end.
*"Dragon man" Trogdor lacks his usual wings.

===Inside References===
*This song is meant to be a '70s disco version of the [[TROGDOR (song)|Trogdor]] song, which originated in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[dragon]].
**"S, more different S" and "[[consummate V's]]" are referenced, both of which are drawing techniques used by Strong Bad in [[dragon]].
**"Get consummate" is part of a line from Strong Bad's [[rock opera]].
*This toon prominently features [[Sports#Basketball|basketball]] and [[Buttdance|butt-dancing]].
*The [[board game]] mentioned is [[Trogdor!! The Board Game]].
**The "Tragdar" on the box is a reference to [[Videlectrix One]]'s pronunciation in the [[Trogdor!! The Board Game (video)|Trogdor!! The Board Game promotional video]].
**The song's background rhythm was heard in the promotional video, and later in a [[@StrongBadActual]] Tweet.
*The game box has the [[Nondescript Nouns|nondescript label]] "Contains: Contents".
*"[[The Pow-uh Surge]]" was previously discussed in the DVD commentary for [[road trip]] as being the musicians behind the Dancing Brothers' song, as well as "Jammin' Tunes".
*The Dancing Brothers previously appeared in [[A Folky Tale]].
*Powered by The Cheat Strong Sad says "My [[boat]] take" and is subsequently interrupted. The same occurs twice with Strong Bad in [[environment]].
*Strong Sad says "2000" the [[-ant pronounced with a hard A#Variations|same way]] he said it in [[suntan]].

===Real-World References===
*The scenes featuring two silhouetted Trogdor heads is a reference to a recurring segment of ''[[wikipedia:The Electric Company|The Electric Company]]'', a children's show that aired on [[PBS]] in the 1970s, in which two people would say part of a word to each other, with the letters coming out of their mouth in a similar fashion.
*The [[Wikipedia:RMS Lusitania|Lusitania]] was a British ocean liner and briefly the world's largest passenger ship. The ship was sunk on May 7, 1915 by a German U-boat 11 miles off the southern coast of Ireland.

tounament and we were wondering how 
come homestar never does anything 
funny anymore? 
 
your friend, 
Tori From VA, TX</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "tounament" as spelled (Toe-OO-na-ment), and "VA, TX" as "Virginia, and Texas. Respectively."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Anymore Tori? I wasn't aware that guy did anything funny. Ever. But if you want to see Homestar so bad, why don't we check out what he's doing right now. We'll see how it measures up to say, me ''{pause}'' kicking the cheat ''{pause}'' into Strong Sad ''{pause}'' with the chicken pox.

''{The screen cuts into static, then goes to Homestar hosting his very own "The Show". With him are Pom Pom and The Poopsmith.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' But it turned out I didn't die. ''{canned laughter}'' So, once again, I'd like to welcome The Poopsmith and Pom Pom onto The Show. ''{canned applause}'' Gentlemen: hands on buzzers.

''{Pom Pom and the Poopsmith glance at each other; there are no buzzers}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' The Poopsmith, for 500 points: Would you care to share with us some of your polictical views?

''{The Poopsmith brings out a sign that says "Hey, um, I'm gonna go now." He walks off.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And Pom Pom, for the block. Do you agree?

''{Pom Pom bubbles and bounces off. Canned applause.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, that's 162 points for each of you. We'll be right back with round two after these important words from these important messages.

''{A little ditty is played and a title screen is shown saying "We'll be right back", which also shows a vaguely Homestar-like character in a fancy suit holding what appears to be a wine glass. Cut to a pink screen with faded concentric circles emanating from the center. Marshie is present.}''

'''MARSHIE:''' Hey guys ''{pronounced 'juys'}''! You'd best be eating a whole mess of Fluffy Puff Marshmallows!

''{Cut to a green screen where a black-and-white man is seen reading a book called "Stuffed in Each Cheek"}''

'''MARSHIE:''' You won't think twice with a couple of them stuffed in each cheek!

''{Somebody says "boing" and the man looks shocked. Cut back to Marshie}''

'''MARSHIE:''' They make my mornings—

''{the words "SHIVER WITH FLAVOR" appear at the bottom left}''

'''MARSHIE:''' —shiver with flavor,—

''{Marshie comes close-up to the screen and the words appear in front of him}''

'''MARSHIE:''' —shiver with flavor!

''{the screen reverts to Marshie alone}''

'''MARSHIE:''' I'll say it twice!

''{cut to a mountain range, above which Marshie is seen in the sky}''

'''MARSHIE:''' This is gettin' great!

''{The word "great" echoes. Another, larger Marshie comes across horizontally from the left, leaving a trail of pink behind him. This forms the original pink background}''

'''MARSHIE:''' Fluffy Puff Marshmallows!

''{Marshie appears in the middle of the screen and the words "THE FIRST ONE TO EAT A MILLION, WINS." appear on the bottom}''

'''MARSHIE:''' "The first one to eat a million, wins."

''{Marshie winks along with a squishing noise. Cut back to The Show.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right. Welcome back to The Show. ''{he pronounces it to rhyme with "how"}'' And now, I choose to recite a list. ''{pulls out some cue cards}'' Ahem. ''{words appear on screen as Homestar reads them}'' "tetherball." "Olympic race." "sparkling." "Tim Duncan." "Wisconsin." "a book of matches." "next week." "a lot of money." "witch's b—"

''{Static cuts Homestar off abruptly before saying "brew"— cut back to Strong Bad at his computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. ''{typing}'' Problematic. You know it's been awhile since I've kicked the Cheat, but I guarantee it'd be comedic gold compared to that mish-mash. And what's with that flying mushroom he's always advertising for. I can't understand a word that guy says. ''{stops typing}'' Anyways, Tori, lemme know how the volleyball tounament turns out. Touns out. Er, learn to spell.

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

== Easter Eggs==
*At the beginning of The Show, clicking on the cards Homestar is carrying shows the card's contents.
<blockquote>pom-pom = round yellow one 
poopsmith = smelly one 
[[Homestar Runner and Homestar Runner's Relationship|homestar = you]]</blockquote>
*At the end, clicking on "kicked the Cheat" shows what The Cheat and Strong Sad are doing.
:''{Cut to Strong Sad's room. Strong Sad is lying in bed with the chicken pox. The Cheat is in front of him.}''
:'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{looks around and then makes questioning The Cheat noises}''
:'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{raspy voice}'' I don't know where he is. I figured it was a sure thing, too.

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*The sender is most likely from Van Alstyne, a small town north of Dallas, Texas. The inhabitants there commonly abbreviate their town's name to "VA".

===Trivia===
*If one were to eat 100 [[Fluffy Puff Marshmallows]] every day, it would take them more than 27 years to "win".
**However, if one would eat like Homestar Runner, at least [[Fluffy Puff Commercial|147]] every day, at the very least it would "only" take a bit more than 18 years.
*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Strong Bad gives us a glimpse of Homestar's daytime talk-show-game-show, 'The Show.'"

===Remarks===
[[Image:weirdpoopsmithblink.png|thumb|100px|The Poopsmith's odd eyes.]]
*The Poopsmith's eyes point in different directions when he blinks. They also switch sides when he turns around.
*The table has been either replaced or expertly repaired (no cracks or seams are evident, even though it was broken in half in the [[unused emails|previous email]]).
*After the cards come up, the cards Homestar is holding are still selectable. However, nothing happens.
*Homestar manages to hold a microphone and flip through a set of cards simultaneously.
*The Tim Duncan reference may have been made due to the email writer being from Texas.
*Strong Bad calls Marshie a "flying mushroom", adding this to the list of items Marshie is often confused with (including a "flying cottonball" by [[Gunhaver]] in [[Cheat Commandos...O's]]).
*Strong Bad makes five [[Strong Bad's Spelling|grammar and/or punctuation errors]] in his email:
**He doesn't put a comma in "Anymore Tori?".
**He puts an unnecessary space after "Problematic" before the period.
**He doesn't put a question mark after "What's with that flying mushroom he's always advertising for."
**He fails to capitalize The Cheat's name in his reply.
**He doesn't put a space before beginning his last sentence.
*In the Easter egg, Strong Sad's chest rises and falls as it usually does when he is lying still in bed, even while he is speaking to The Cheat. It appears to rise as though he is inhaling while he says "I thought it was a sure thing too."

===Goofs===
*In the Easter egg, Strong Sad's chicken pox move a little bit slower than his head as he raises it. For example, there is a red dot right above his left eye. When he raises his head, the chicken pox move slower and the one that was near his eye is a little farther away from it than before.

===Inside References===
*This email contains yet another reference to "[[witch's brew]]".
*Marshie pronouncing "guys" as "juys" is a reference to [[G#G as J|G pronounced as J]].
*Marshie's voice echoes over the alps from [[Main Page 2]].
*This is another reference to [[Kicking The Cheat]].

===Real-World References===
*Homestar's line "Pom Pom, for the block. Do you agree?" is a reference to the [[Game Show References|game show]] ''[[Wikipedia:Hollywood Squares|Hollywood Squares]]'', where contestants decide whether they agree with a celebrity's answer in order to get their symbol on a tic-tac-toe board.
*Homestar's microphone looks just like [[Wikipedia:Bob Barker|Bob Barker]]'s and [[Wikipedia:Gene Rayburn|Gene Rayburn]]'s microphones from ''[[Wikipedia:The Price is Right|The Price is Right]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Match Game|Match Game]]'' respectively.
*[[Wikipedia:Tim Duncan|Tim Duncan]] is a retired [[Wikipedia:National Basketball Association|NBA]] basketball player who played for the [[Wikipedia:San Antonio Spurs|San Antonio Spurs]].
*[[The Poopsmith's sign]] is a nod to [[Wikipedia:Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner|Wile E. Coyote]], who often used a variety of small signs to indicate what he was thinking or feeling.
*The little jingle played before the commercial break is part of the theme song of the game show ''[[Wikipedia:Match Game|Match Game]]''.
*The "We'll be right back" image is similar to the one used by the television show, [[Wikipedia:The Galloping Gourmet|The Galloping Gourmet]].
*Homestar giving the contestants random points is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Whose Line is it Anyway|Whose Line is it Anyway]], in which the host would give the contestants a random amount of points at the end of each game for no visible relevance.

===Fast Forward===
*[[Puppet Character Variations|Puppet Marshie]] says "juys" in [[Main Page 25]].

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

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

'''MIKE:''' Here's the commentary for "the show" email.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's right, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' I'm joined by none other than Homestar himself, the host of The Show.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Call me Greg this time.

'''MIKE:''' Greg, uh, so tell us a little bit about yourself, Greg.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I'm, uh, uh, a vitamin, I lose weight, and I'm on the plank!

'''MIKE:''' Homestar here making a little less sense than usual.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I know. It's all for the DVD.

'''MIKE:''' DVD.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' DVDs. Yeah. DVDs.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, here comes your big scene.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, why are you so, where did this show come from?

'''MIKE:''' Uh, why don't you tell us?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I don't... Honestly, the first time I saw this, I was flabbergasted.

'''MIKE:''' You don't, you don't remember taking part in anything like this?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I mean, I kinda do... But like, so do I have a show? In the '70s?

'''MIKE:''' Well, I don't know if it was in the '70s.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Is it a chat show, or game show?

'''MIKE:''' It looks like it's kinda maybe a little of both, but a little of neither?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah! That's the way my best shows are...right?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So why wouldn't it be that? A little bit of a chat show, maybe with a Charles Nelson Reilly...

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I love my microphone. If a microphone's not tall and skinny, it's not a microphone.

'''MIKE:''' I agree.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Look! Who's that guy with the arms? ''{referring to the character on the "We'll Be Right Back" card}''

'''MIKE:''' He has arms.'''

''{Marshie appears on the screen to begin the Fluffy Puff commercial.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh no!

'''MIKE:''' It's okay.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I love this one!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, I thought you might be scared.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Look out! Look out, stuffed in each—Oh no! He got it, Mike! ''{pause}'' Marshie's on point on this one. He's at the top of his game.

'''MIKE:''' Marshie's...never at the top of his game.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, he's clearly here. Listen, listen, listen!

''{Marshie's commercial finishes, and he winks producing a unique sound effect.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' How does he do that?

'''MIKE:''' He winked.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I know! If I could make my eye make that sound when I wink, I'd be like, winking all the time! They'd call me Wink Martindale.

''{Slight pause. Homestar reads the "Olympic race" card.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Speaking of Olympic race... ''{Pause}'' This is my favorite part.

'''MIKE:''' What is this list of?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Is there a common thread—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It's, like, the Rosetta Stone. If you can figure out this list then you've got the secret to Homestar Runner.

''{Pause. The Strong Bad Email cuts back to Strong Bad at the Compy.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Homester.

'''MIKE:''' Okay. How much longer do we have on this commentary, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You don't think this is very funny, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Uhh, maybe.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Do you think we should start over?

'''MIKE:''' No, we can leave it, but...I just hope it's over soon.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think it sounds like Strong Bad's winding down.

'''MIKE:''' All right.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' See, he's mumbling.

'''MIKE:''' Bye, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's the end. You know it's the end.

''{The Paper comes down.}''

'''MIKE:''' Bye, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Geez!

Defender1031: rv, test edit.

I'm thinking that we should create a sub category for candiates for speedy deletion. That way, it's easier for ops to sort out the pages that need speedy deletion. Approval? {{User:Gafaddict/sig}} 04:07, 24 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:I second that suggestion -- but then what consititutes a speedy delortion page? Also, trolls could pepper pages with "to be speedy deleted" tags all over... So, on second thought... I don't see that much benefit, egh. Suggestions? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:22, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
::The template Gafaddict mentions was already created, put up for deletion, and removed with consensus.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 00:28, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
:::I agree with [[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]]. It would definately speed up the process of deleting pages for non-admins and non-sysops. {{User:Supuhstar/sig}}
::::If a troll marked a bunch of pages like that, it would be rather easy to tell. Plus, we might just make it inaccessable to anon IPs so that won't happen as much, so I stand for the proposal. -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 16:19, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
:::::Ummm... isn't THIS the template for speedy deletion? I mean, for a deleted page that needs a wiki consensus, like if someone thinks [[Strong Bad Email]] should be deleted (Which it won't be, but, we're playing pretend), we generally use [[Template:tobedeleted]]. If a troll makes a page entitled "THE WIKI WILL DIE!!!@!@!11", we tag it with <nowiki>{{delete|Troll page}}</nowiki>, that way, sysops and the like can delete it immediately. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 16:40, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
::::::If it's speedy deletion, here are some ideas I have for pictures:
*Strong Bad in [[unused emails]] when he breaks his clavicus majorus,
*Homestar in [[car]] after Strong Bad punches him,
*Strong Bad sticking the pickax in the Tandy right before it explodes in [[retirement]]. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 00:18, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Oh, who's checkin' emails with his pants, who's checkin' emails with his pants! ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Ancient Ruins?</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
Do you know whether or not there are ancient ruins 
buried deep under Strong Badia? 
Thanks, 
Paul M. Pasquella
</blockquote>
''{reads "Pasquella" as "Pathquaya"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well Pauly Pasqually, I know for sure there's a lotta ''something'' buried deep under Strong Badia. Mainly cause I rent out the dirt to unsavory characters in need of a place to stash, ditch, or make disappear, the evidence of their choice. ''{clears screen}'' I never really thought that there might be ancient ruins down there, though. I think this calls for America's coolest children's game show consolation prize: the metal detector! ''{music starts playing}''

''{Cut to a blackboard with "SLOP! MESS! QUIZ!" written on it}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' And our stupid contestants will receive the Taranchula brand Black Metal Detec-tor! ''{While he speaks, [[Taranchula]]'s logo and the [[Taranchula Black Metal Detector]] appear, followed by Videlectrix Kidx logo.}'' From Videlectrix Kidx..sx!

''{Picture of Schenkel McDoo giving an "OK" sign moves in}''

'''SCHENKEL MCDOO:''' ''{voice}'' Yah guys! Maybe find some coin! ''{words appear as he speaks}''

''{Cut to Strong Badia. Strong Bad and the Cheat are standing in a large, shallow depression in the dirt with a shovel nearby. The Cheat is wearing a pith helmet. Strong Bad is using the Taranchula metal detector.}''

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

''{Close up on Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I already told you, man! Where there's ruins, there's riches! And booby-traps we can steal ideas from!

''{Cut back to wide shot}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, let's do thiiiiiiiiiis! ''{ends on a high pitch}''

''{Strong Bad switches on metal detector and moves it around. The metal detector makes heavy metal beats in changing frequency}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, we're getting warm! ''{takes a step forward, the metal detector starts playing a guitar solo}'' We've got something, The Cheat!

''{He steps back and The Cheat sweeps the ground with a small brush. A small red object appears in the dirt.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dropping metal detector}'' It looks like the top of an enormous riches-filled structure! And wait, there's an inscription! ''{leans forward, reading}'' "Col...donesdry..." Must be the name of an ancient civilization!

''{Cut to close-up of Strong Sad in front of the fence}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{raising finger}'' Uh, me again! I think that's just the cap of a bottle of ''{cut to bottle cap in the dirt}'' Cold Ones Dry. You could probably just pick it up.

''{Cut back to wide shot}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What, are you crazy? I'm not touching that thing! It's booby trapped! It'll shoot a bunch of poison-tipped witch doctors at me!

''{Close up of Strong Sad}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Riiiiiight. Or, it's just a bottle cap, and you're crazier than ever.

''{Close up of Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You may be half right, kid. ''{picks up metal detector}'' Now, help me find some dang riches. ''{cut to wide shot. Strong Bad starts moving the metal detector over the dirt again. The detector makes heavy metal beat in changing frequency.}'' Uh...uh... ''{metal detector plays guitar solo}'' Whoa! ''{Strong Bad drops to the ground}'' Check out this futuristic sheet of paper!

''{Close up of Strong Bad unfolding a sheet of metal foil with a picture of a smiling alien head with arms and legs and the caption "BABBY ALIEN"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh. My. Geez. I knew it! Strong Badia was originally colonized by extra-terrestrials! ''{cut to close up of Strong Bad}'' That explains why I'm so brilliant! And why all beings look the same except for slight differences of our foreheads!

''{Cut back to wide shot}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, that's just a piece of tin foil with a picture Strong Mad drew of you when you were little. ''{close up of Strong Sad}'' There's even a petrified chicken nugget in there that he left you. ''{As he talks, shot of Strong Bad pulling said nugget out of a fold in the foil's edge}''

''{Cut back to wide shot}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{dropping nugget}'' Quit ruining my ruins, Jurassic Dork! This clearly says "Babby Alien". ''{close up}'' Which is probably the name of my true mother, who left me here as a young larva hundreds of years ago, until someone, I'm guessing an elderly oatmeal enthusiast, unwittingly disturbed my cocoon. ''{As he talks, the scene is described in a thought bubble by Strong Mad-style drawings}'' Oh, Babs! Why did you leave me stranded here?

''{Cut to shot of Bubs standing to the side}''

'''BUBS:''' Oh, sorry about that, Strong Bad. Was I supposed to come earlier?

''{Cut to wide shot of Bubs and Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What? No, I said "Babs". ''"Babs".''

'''BUBS:''' Bubs, Babs, whatever. I take what I can get.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whahn?

''{Close up of Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' Anyways, I'm here for my weekly, ''Ahem'', "delivery". ''{indicates barrels of "inTOXICatingly good WASTE" beside him}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, yeah, just bury it wherever. ''{cut to close up}'' But if you uncover any ruins, or hot aliens, or riches, they're mine, OK?

''{Cut to wide shot of Bubs and Strong Bad}''

'''BUBS:''' Uh, what about fellas named Rich?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wha-what? No, I don't know anyone named Rich.

''{Close up of Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' OK, good. ''{extreme close-up, with intensity}'' Then he can stay where he is!

''{Wide shot}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, is there anyway I can unhear the last few sentences? ''{close up}'' Or years of my life?

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, no, Pascual Perez, there are no ancient ruins buried under Strong Badia. Or, at least, not one foot under Strong Badia. Digging is hard, man! Did you ever try to dig a hole? It's not all wipes and montages like in the movies. It takes forever! But who knows what wonders lie, say, one-and-a-half feet beneath Strong Badia? Or, dare I say it, a few feet beneath Strong Badia. Why it staggers the bad imagination.

''{An illustration of what might be a few feet under Strong Badia moves onscreen. After a moment, the [[New Paper]] comes down}''

===Commentary Transcript===

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

'''MIKE:''' So here we are again, once again, as always, doing the commentary for the "buried" email.

'''MATT:''' We're always doing the commentary for this email.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, all the time, Matt and Mike Chapman, doing the commentary for this email.

'''MATT:''' Just for this email.

'''MIKE:''' One-ninety-one: Buried. All the time.

'''MATT:''' Okay. Are you gonna talk about metal detectors, or— or not?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I had a metal detector.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, was it orange?

'''MIKE:''' It was orange. Uh, it had— it was an orange— it had an orange 7 that was the handle.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it looked like a 7, that's right.

'''MIKE:''' And it had a little dial.

'''MATT:''' Mm-hmm.

'''MIKE:''' And I don't really remember finding anything, except maybe some coins that I had tossed out in the yard.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Let's just turn— we'll turn them over our shoulder, and then it's like we've discovered—

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

'''MATT:''' ''{after a pause}'' Umm, I'm'd wanna say that more than just Starcade had this metal detector as a prize for the kids that were on that show. But, like, what other kids' game shows were there?

'''MIKE:''' Well...

'''MATT:''' Oh! The Grand Prize Game! I bet you—

'''MIKE:''' Oh, from Bozo?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, Bozo. The Bozo No No show. ''{imitating a clown}'' Oh, hey, man! 

'''MIKE:''' Umm, I tried to find— I looked up the Grand Prize Game on YouTube... a few months ago. I didn't find any. ''{unintelligible}''

'''MATT:''' No? But didn't you see some— there's like some home— didn't we find you can still buy a home Grand Prize Game kit?

'''MIKE:''' Yep, one of those Archie McPhee-type stores sells them.

''{pause until Strong Sad appears}''

'''MATT:''' Five buckets and some ping-pong balls?

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yep. Twenty-two dollars!

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

'''MIKE:''' Uhh... are there any dry beers, still in... production?

'''MATT:''' No, I think they're just dark, and I think they just— It was a weird way of weaseling in, like, more European beers into the American...

'''MIKE:''' Pallette?

'''MATT:''' ...beer-drinking crowd. Yeah. And now, they just are, they— they don't have to masquerade as something else now. They can just be themselves.''{pause until Strong Bad finds the "BABBY ALIEN" sheet of paper}'' Uhh... what about— Babby Alien. My niece drew a picture of a babby alien all the time.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Your 14-year-old niece.

'''MATT:''' She was not 14. She was maybe 9 at the time. I thought "baby" had two B's in it.

'''MIKE:''' I was surprised that she spelled "alien" correctly—

'''MATT:''' I know!

'''MIKE:''' —and "baby" incorrectly.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. That tells you something about this ''{slightly louder voice}'' X-Files culture ''{unintelligible}''.

'''MIKE:''' Wait. Wait...

'''MATT:''' X-Files is the most popular cult show on TV!

'''MIKE:''' Wait. Who ever called it an X-Files culture?

'''MATT:''' You know, there's...

'''MIKE:''' The movie tanked!

'''MATT:''' Yeah, you know, 2008, the X-Files year.

'''MIKE:''' No, that movie tanked!

'''MATT:''' Wait, there's another movie? ''{laughs}'' I was talking about... the program, from the show.

'''MIKE:''' Ohh...

'''MATT:''' That is a disgusting drawing of a Strong Bad larva, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' That is ''not'' a disgusting drawing of Wilford Brimley beating it to a pulp, though.

''{pause until after Bubs says, "Was I supposed to come earlier?"}''

'''MATT:''' Uh, Bubs has some really good— Oh, this is— That's an intoxicatingly good waste. Is that what it's called?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think so. ...In one of the other commentaries, we're trying to remember all the [[Bubs's Shady Business Practices|sketchy things]] that Bubs... does. This was one of them.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Organs, and chicken beaks, and toxic waste.

'''MATT:''' Umm, we should bury some stuff in our backyards, our respective backyards, for our daughters to find, I think.

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

'''MATT:''' You know, let's go ahead and do it now, and then they will get them—

'''MIKE:''' You know, little girls, how they're always out digging in the backyard—

'''MATT:''' Well, mine's gonna be.

'''MIKE:''' Okay. She's gonna be...

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' My little girl is gonna say "robot" and "waffle", thank you very much. Those are two not-very-little-girl-type things to say.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, "waffle". ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' A doodley thing. It's not that it's manly; it's more that it's, uh... she's gonna be hardscrabble. A hardscrabble kid!

'''MIKE:''' You're just gonna throw her out in the backyard every morning, and... open the door up at 4.

'''MATT:''' Give her a spade. ''{Strong Bad voice}'' See if there's anything buried back there.

'''MIKE:''' I'm gonna play Xbox.

'''MATT:''' ''{after New Paper comes down}'' Atlantis.

Homestar tells Chuck from Rochester all about the Homestar Runner [[Bechieve to Alieve Foundation]] in the first ever full-length [[Hremail]].

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{film|Homestar Runner}}, {{film|Arturo 9000}}, {{film|Strong Sad}}, {{film|Bubs}}

'''Places:''' [[Hremail Room]], [[Homestar Runner's House|Homestar Runner's Bedroom]], [[Bubs' Concession Stand]]

'''Running Time:''' 3:06

'''Page title:''' Arturo 9000!

==Transcript==
''{Opens to a silhouette of Homestar Runner sitting at a table with a coffee mug, which can be seen labeled "Soup, Not Coffee". The camera is zooming in on him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't look now kids, it's everyone's favorite knock-kneed weightlifter, Homestar Runner!

''{Music, to the tune of Homestar's Theme Song, and applause; scene zooms out and is lit. The desk is shown to have the label "This guy!" on the front of it, with an arrow pointing to Homestar. Homestar himself is smiling looking back and forth.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Thanks, silhouette! Today's letter ''{Pulls out a sheet of paper that is rotated in landscape form.}'' comes from Chuck from Rochester. ''{reads}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background:#FFF;color:#000">

Hello, Homestar.
 
 
Can you tell me if there is 
some kind of Homestar 
Runner Center or Homestar 
Runner International Center 
for Cultural Advancement or 
something like that that I 
could bring my students to 
for a field trip?
 
 
Chuck, Rochester
</blockquote>

''{The email is read with a view of the sheet scrolling down as Homestar reads it. Homestar begins reading in a deep voice which gradually turns back into his normal voice as he continues. He says "Cultural Advancement" in a faux French accent, and doesn't read the signature.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Cut to a close shot of Homestar's desk. He does not have the letter anymore.}'' Oh yes, most definitely, Doctor! ''{Cut to a monochrome photo of a brick, 1950s-like building. While Homestar talks, the view continues to zoom out, eventually showing in a wooden frame.}'' Established in 1994, the Homestar Runner "Bechieve to Alieve" Foundition, commonly known as, ''{Scene zooms out to reveal the scene in a picture on an orange dresser.}'' this drawer, ''{fanfare}'' this drawer, ''{The camera zooms in on it and angles; fanfare.}'' this drawer! ''{It zooms in and angles again with a dutch angle. After that there is a cut to a full view of Homestar, who has been to the left of the dresser the entire time of this scene.}'' Would make an excellent field, road, or head trip for you and your studentia. ''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar. He is squinting his eyes.}'' Is that the plural of student, studentia? ''{His eyes return to normal}'' Anyway, ''{Cut to the view of Homestar and dresser again}'' let's see what the foundaysh has to offer!

''{Homestar bends over to the right and opens drawer and a cut to a top-view reveals a dank inside with a half brown, half yellow crayon smashed together in the bottom-left corner. The labels on the crayons are combined, reading "Br&oelig;llow". There are also various items such as a picture of Homestar, various stars, and a paper clip in the back of the drawer.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ooh! Smell all that culture and education! ''{Cut to Homestar.}'' First up on our tour, is this ''{Homestar takes out the brellow crayon.}'' brellow crown! ''{Turns to the crayon.}'' and what a rich history it has! It dates all the way back to this one time. ''{Turns to the left.}'' Arturo, if you please!

''{Cut to a microfiche reader sitting on the desk.}''

'''ARTURO:''' ''{While it talks the screen flashes.}'' Coming right up, Mr. Runner! ''{A scene of Homestar holding a brown crayon and walking to Bubs' Concession Stand comes on screen from the bottom-right corner; the camera zooms in to video.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I sure love my brown crown!

''{Cut to Strong Sad walking the other way from the other corner of the stand, holding a yellow crayon.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, yellow crayon, only you know what ''really'' happened!

''{Cut to Bubs at the concession stand holding a purple wrench}''

'''BUBS:''' Dangit, purple wrench!

''{Concession stand shakes to the sound of a thump.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh!

'''BUBS:''' ''{Turns to the left, he starts to look angry}'' All right, young lovers! Knock it off back there!

''{Cut back to Homestar at the drawer at a close-up.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' My brellow crown is instrumental in the drawing of buttered toast, ''{Holds up a picture with a drawing of toast on it to the left of the screen. Throughout this part Homestar points his crayon to the drawings he brings up.}'', not quite hornets, ''{Holds up a picture of a brown and yellow "zornet" on the right side of the screen, overlapping part of the toast drawing.}'', and the sun, with a 'fro. ''{Holds up a picture of the sun with a brown afro and the caption "SOL SOUL" in the center of the screen, overlapping them both. After he finishes, he throws all the papers and the brellow crayon.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Next item up for tour, is my collection of old Homestars! ''{Cut back to drawer, Homestar is picking up the variations of stars that appeared earlier.}'' They provide a unique cross section of my many facets!

''{Cut to Homestar Runner where the desk is partly visible; Holds up a star-shaped cloud.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Roundy here, is from back when I was known as the ''{Homestar puts "Roundy" on the star on his shirt, and he tips his torso back.}'' Popcorn Lumper! ''{He drops Roundy and holds up a golden star bedazzled with jewels, with the glittery noises being heard.}'' This one's from my brief stint as ''{He puts an angry expression on his face.}'' supreme emperor! ''{Squints; puts it up to the star on his chest.}'' Of... Marzipan's... rhinestone jazzler. ''{Un-squints}'' And you won't believe ''{Drops jeweled star and brings up a crusty paper star. The star is outlined with a calligraphic pen.}'' why I had to replace this old guy! Talk about cultural! That mess was like, ''{Puts the crusty star over the star on his shirt.}'' four score!

''{Cut to Homestar from the "colonial days", with a powdered wig and writing on a desk with a quill pen. He's wearing the tattered paper star, which is still just as tattered as in the previous scene, but lacking the stain.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{He mumbles while he finishes writing.}'' And with that, I am done ''{Waves quill pen in front of his face.}'' tickling my face! ''{Pulls out a sloppy joe}'' Mhm! Sloppy Joseph! ''{Takes a bite out of it; some spills on his star. The camera zooms in on the star.}'' Aw, crap!

''{Cut back to Homestar Runner leaning over the drawer.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Last up on the tour is this photo of Marzipan and I, on a honeymoon! ''{Pulls out a photo of Homestar and Marzipan on a beach, with a coupon for an oil filter taped above Marzipan.}'' Not ours! ''{Close up of the photo.}'' I think it was some couple from Canada's. ''{Cut back to Homestar and the drawer.}'' Or, Cancun...nada. ''{He puts the photo on his chest. The camera begins to zoom-in on him.}'' Ah, we were young and in every 3,000 miles back then!

''{Cut back to Homestar's desk, Homestar walks and sits down.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' So bring the kids on down, Chuck! ''{Close-up.}'' Nothing like a little educaysh at the ''{Pops up at the camera.}'' foundaysh! ''{Sits back down.}'' It's the best I could do on short notice. Unless you want to wait until 2012, ''{He pops up at the camera again. He talks in a louder tone.}'' when Homestar Dinoland will finally be complete!

''{Cut to close up on Arturo's screen; a [[postcard]] from Homestar Dinoland shows up. It consists of its logo at the top-left corner, with a silhouetted parking lot, as well with a silhouetted adult and child below. An angry dinosaur that has Homestar's hat is standing not too far from the parking lot.}''

'''NARRATOR:''' Homestar Dinoland opening July 2012. Actual attraction may just be a nightstand.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{The dinosaur's mouth moves with his dialog throughout.}'' A whaaaaaaat?

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{Hastily}'' I-I mean a drawer.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' A whaat?

'''NARRATOR:''' I mean, a dwaw.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Angrily}'' A WHAT?

'''NARRATOR:''' ''{Exasperated sigh}''... a dweeoooowwwww.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's better!

''{"email homestar runner at djmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com" appears on the screen.}''

==Easter Eggs==
[[File:Rhinestone jazzler.png|thumb|Not just a stapler!]]
*Once Homestar mentions the [[Rhinestone Jazzler]], click on his star to see the product.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Arturo 9000]] is not a computer but a [[Wikipedia:Microform|microfiche reader]].
*A [http://www.yourdictionary.com/head-trip head trip] is slang for a powerful intellectual experience, sometimes caused by [[drugs]].

===Trivia===
*This toon was released after a 34 day release gap on the website.
*The oil coupon reads:
<blockquote style="border:dashed 2px #aaa;width:140px;text-align:center;">
$5.00 Off
 
'''FILTY''' '''oil filters''' 
Oil Filters or Lube
</blockquote>
*The front of the Rhinestone Jazzler box reads:
<blockquote>
<nowiki>*</nowiki>Not just a stapler! 
</blockquote>
While the side of the box reads:
<blockquote>
Umm... well, maybe it's sort of a stapler :p 
</blockquote>

===Remarks===
*Homestar manipulates three separate pieces of paper and the brellow crayon at the same time, which, given the position in which he's holding them, would normally require [[Lack of Visible Arms#Oddities|four arms]].
*Homestar's use of "a photo of Marzipan and I" is grammatically incorrect. The proper grammar would be "a photo of Marzipan and me." 

===Goofs===
[[Image:White_Wall.PNG|thumb|The Red Iculous white wall.]]

*An instant before zooming in on the drawer the third time, the red wall disappears.
*After Homestar picks up his Founding Father star and lowers his Supreme Emperor star, you can still click where the Emperor star was to bring up the Easter egg.
*When Homestar first holds up the Founding Father star, a small part of the pencil drawing on the front of it leaves where the star folds.
*In the honeymoon picture, the picture of Homestar blinks.

===Inside References===
* The concept of Homestar answering fan mail was first explored in [[email thunder]].
* Homestar called crayons "crowns" in [[coloring]].
* [[Scarfgirl]] was a magazine previously seen in [[secret identity]].
* Homestar pronounces "Cultural Advancement" in a faux [[French]] accent.
* Homestar was previously seen as a "founding father" in [[colonization]].
* Homestar called Strong Bad and The Cheat "young lovers" in [[road trip]].
* Homestar claims the honeymooning couple was from [[Canada]].
* The tune played at the opening of the hremail is a few seconds from the [[Theme Song Video|Homestar Runner Theme Song]].
* "Bechieve to Alieve" is a [[spoonerism]].
* Homestar uses the [[Words with Omitted Syllables|shortened phrase]] "educaysh at the foundaysh," similar to Strong Sad's nicknaming the bus station "the staysh" in [[Lappynapped!]]
* "Brellow" is a [[portmanteau]].

===Real-World References===
* The "Jazzler" is based on the [[Wikipedia:Bedazzler|Bedazzler]], which has a similar function. Like the Jazzler, it also resembles a stapler.
* The origin of the brellow crayon is a reference to the "You got your chocolate in my peanut butter!" commercials for [[Wikipedia:Reese's Peanut Butter Cups|Reese's Peanut Butter Cups]].
* "That mess was like, four score!" refers to the opening of [[Presidents|Abraham Lincoln]]'s [[Wikipedia:Gettysburg Address|Gettysburg Address]]. Lincoln, speaking in 1863, dated the signing of the Declaration of Independence to "four score and seven years ago".

===Fast Forward===

*Homestar would once again thank his "shadow self" in the same way in [[Hremail 2000]].

==My [[bottom 10]]==
10. People who apologize when they didn't do anything wrong.
*Under this category also falls people who thank you for like, sending them a file that you asked for help with.

9. People who claim that a kilobyte is 1,000 bytes.
*It's actually 1,024. Most storage device manufacturers do this, and it really bugs me. My 200 gigabyte Hard drive is only 189 gigabytes because of this fact.

8. People who claim that you need a full 4.7 gigabytes to store DVD quality video.
*A DVD can only hold 4.4 gigabytes (see my 9th worst thing)
*DVDs tend to encode the black bars around the screen, rather than just encoding them as blank space.
*DVDs tend to have large encoding formats. Using [[Wikipedia:x264|x264]], one can get a full length movie down to 700 megabytes at near perfect quality, and 1.2 gigabytes is enough for lossless quality.

7. Those [[HRWiki talk:User space#Fake new message notifications|Fake message notifications]] that some people have on their pages.

6. People who need to note every little reference or spelling correction or underscore removal that they add to the wiki.
*If the description of the edit is longer than the edit itself, it's really not worth noting.

5. People who act like they know everything.
*And when you try to prove them wrong, they:
**Say "look it up" as if they know better than you.
**Argue semantically, attempting to change the meaning so that it still fits what they said.
**Rarely do admit to being proven wrong, but if it happens, no matter how many times it happens, they'll just say "well, this is the first time you've proven me wrong."

4. Vandals

3. Girly girls.
*You know, the ones who are always worrying about their hair and stuff. The ones who get upset about stupid things and don't act rational.

2. Losing good friends because they have to move on.
*Like, if they get a job elsewhere, or get married and go to live elsewhere, or go to a different school, etc.

1. People who don't respect other peoples' opinions.
*Especially people who try to force their ways onto others.

===Things that didn't quite make my bottom 10===
*Playing a video game and forgetting to save for a long time, then accidentally shutting it off and realizing that everything you did for the past day and a half is gone— WHY, LINK WHY?!
**They should have an autoprompt save thing that comes up every so often... like after big events such as bosses or large dungeons... instead of only when you die. Seriously, if i wasn't so darn good at the game I'd have been fine.
*People who purposely type "teh" instead of "the".
*Putting a pot of water on the stove to boil and forgetting about it.
**Then it boils out and I have to start over.
*[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Jibblies_2_Teaser&diff=530073&oldid=530068&rcid=486918 Accidentally forgetting to change my keyboard language back from Hebrew before typing.]

== The [[best thing]] I've ever seen, done, or eaten ==
One of my roommates (the chef in the apartment) asked us what we wanted for dinner. I said that I didn't know. He asked "okay, let's start with how many courses you want." I said, half joking, half just not even paying attention "23", while the other two guys didn't even say anything. He pulled it off, most courses being smaller than the size of a tablespooon,
AND without going to the store to get anything we didn't already have. Here was the meal:

# Pasta with mushroom sauce
# Ice Pop
# Half a cherry tomato with salt and pepper
# Lettuce with vinegar and mustard
# Tea
# Hazelnut liquor
# Fresh peach slice
# Baked potato slice with butter and salt
# Kiwi liquor
# Soup nuts
# Cookie, peanut butter optional
# Deviled baked potato slice
# Chocolate liquor
# Oatmeal, maple syrup optional
# Deviled egg
# Rice, soy sauce optional
# Chocolate
# Pancake piece (basically him throwing together flour water and a lot of sugar and frying it... wasn't bad at all)
# Cereal, lightly salted (he BSed this one)
# Garlic and baby corn
# Spicy wheat grout and baby corn
# Stewed tomato in a sweet lemon sauce (aka melted popsicle)
# Ice cream

I actually learned a lot about cooking, and it was a heck of a lot of fun.

== [[different town|different wiki]] ==
Make the wiki different, eh, Steven?

Weeeeeellllll 
The trolls they'd go away (Goodbye!) 
All the good users would stay 
And to do a search of page history 
Would be as easy to do as a search for [[The Fat Bee]] (AND [[PEA]]!) (And [[pee]].)

And images would be uploaded with a descriptive summary (With links to the toon it's from!) (I know!)

People would give away [[HRWiki:Barnstars|barnstars]] 
that were chocolate hundred-dollar bills (Image-ation chocolate!) 
And every single user 
would choose to receive e-mails (Or at least there'd be some system to communicate privately)

And every change would be a good edit! (Check it out, yo!) 
And [[User:It's dot com|Dot com]] would get his due credit! (Thank you!) 
And the fan base wouldn't change at all, 
'Cept it wouldn't be so small (Two, three, four.)

And this little [[HRWiki:Spoons|weird page]] 
Though it's true, it still annoys me 
Because of how it gets used 
You know, in a "to be discussed" 
When people just say "this page is a spoon" (DaAaAa, I'm sick of hearing that!)

==[[Special:Contributions/DeFender1031|My Contributions to the Wiki]]==
Most of what I do is gnome work. I tend to add facts or appearances to pages here and there. I read all recent changes. This is to the point where, if I was away for a day or two, I check for my last edit and open a new tab for each page starting from the earliest change to it and go through its history. In addition, some notable things that I have done include:

*I created and wrote most of:
**[[Sugar]]
**[[Showering]]
**[[Note To Self:]]
**[[Cheesed Off]] (Thanks to [[User:Bluebry|Bluebry]] for the idea.)
**[[Grapes]]
**[[Pork]] (Yes, I KNOW I'm Jewish, I still made Pork, okay?)
**[[Reg Having the Ball]]
**[[Identity Confusion]]
**[[Waste of X]] (2000th page on the wiki, big round numbers ftw!)
**[[Shakespeare]]
**[[Eyepatches]]
**[[Mortal Kombat]]
**[[The Arctic]]
**[[Cows]]
**[[Bafroom]]
**[[Pumpkins]]
**[[Grocery Lists]]
**[[Chauncey]]
*I wrote most of the transcript for [[DNA Evidence]]. (Thanks to [[User:Super Martyo Brother|Super Martyo Brother]] for the beginning part.)
*I suggested and helped clean up [[Cheese]]. (Thanks to [[User:SantanaHomerunner|SantanaHomerunner]] for starting it up.)
*I cleaned up [[Tofu]].
*I added the [[Talk:Fan Costumes '07#Cast of Costumes|costume lists]] to the [[Fan Costume Commentary|four]] [[More Fan Costumes|Halloween]] [[Fan Costumes '06|costume]] [[Fan Costumes '07|commentaries]].
*I cleaned up [[Emails Taken in a Different Direction]].
*I cleaned up [[Coach Z#Coach Z's "more than two problems"]].
*I transcribed [[licensed]].
*I began the transcript for [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 14]].
*I cleaned up the [[Glossary]].
*I [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Strong_Sad's_Death&diff=580758&oldid=230557 recreated and cleaned up] [[Strong Sad's Death]].
*I had the original idea for [[Singular Instead of Plural]].
*I started a project for [[User:DeFender1031/ISC|cleaning up image summaries]].
*I wrote the first half of the transcript for [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 16.2]] and cleaned up the second half.
*I suggested and began {{tl|yearssince}} and implemented it in cleanup of [[Ages of Characters]].
*I cleaned up and proposed the new scope for what eventually became [[Throwing Bricks]].

== Some [[Haiku]]s ==
=== Wiki Related ===
Vandals bother me. Why don't they just go away? Somebody block them.

Editing pages. Late into the night I sit. I should be asleep.

A bad talk page post. About plot, not page content. Take it to forum.

Bored out of my mind. Clicking random, reading page. Edit where needed.

I have work to do. Wiki's more interesting. Guess my work will wait.

Talk:Shark-Tooth Bubs

Defender1031 — Wed, 08 Jul 2020 19:06:47 GMT

Defender1031: rv, spam

==Other Puppet Character Articles==
I'm thinking it's a good idea to have other articles for the puppets. They play a fairly important roll in the Homestar universe. Besides, Shark-Tooth Bubs is one of the least shown ones, so if he gets an article, other puppets should definately get one. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 21:12, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:I agree. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:13, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)
::I was considering adding a section on the article for Bubs, but I figured that I could add enough information to warrant a separate article for Shark-Tooth. I also agree - each puppet should have its own article. I see a The Cheat, Homestar, and Strong Bad puppets as articles in the future. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 21:23, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:::I can see those articles too. The Marshie puppet, not so much. He's appeared quite less than the others. Although, lemme tell ya, my initial reaction was that Shark-Tooth Bubs was unique enough to have his own article, since he was a production mistake... But, after careful consideration, I think the other puppets deserve their own articles too. They're unique enough in the fact that (save for The Cheat) they cannot be purchased by anyone else. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::I don't know... I was kind of thinking about putting Shark-Tooth Bubs into the Bubs article, as well as similar sections in other character pages. I don't know if puppets should get their own page. A redirect could suffice instead of a page for Shark-Tooth. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 21:29, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:::::Shark-tooth bubs deserves it more than any other puppet, mainly because it was a production mistake. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}}
::::::Regardless of whether the Homestar, The Cheat, and Strong Bad puppets get an article, I think this one on Shark-Tooth Bubs is good because he's clearly ''not'' the same as regular Bubs. He even has a different voice actor. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:33, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:::::::I have an idea! Why not creat one huge puppet article? I can help in some way with that, I just need some moore time to get used to the programming of the website.[[User:Thechamp|Thechamp]] 21:35, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)
::::::::I think the puppet section of [[Minor Alternate Versions]] will suffice for now until more information about these puppets is known. {{User:The Paper/sig}} 01:38, 9 Aug 2005 (UTC)

What chicken man movie is he talking about? Is it Chicken Run? It it what else? I can't think.

''BAWK BAWK BAWK! CHICKEN MAN! He's everywhere, he's everywhere!'' — That's from an old radio comedy called Chicken Man, my dad told me about it. It's from the forties, or sometime thereabouts. Does that answer your question? I mean, it does if your question was '''Who is Chicken Man?'' --{{User:Homfrog/sig}} 00:25, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

== Real ==
Is this puppet realy made by a company?
: Allegedly, yes. But despite it being treated as a puppet, it's actually a small doll. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:07, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

== Representative Image ==
Is there any desire to make representative images for articles from the website, rather than from the DVD? If there is, perhaps this article can use something from Main Page 25 or Dangeresque: Puppet Squad instead of the current one. [[User:TimMierz|TimMierz]] 20:20, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
:Shark-Tooth Bubs' first ever onscreen appearance was on [[Puppets on the Road]], which was on [[strongbad email.exe Disc Four]]. This is why we used that appearance to illustrate the article. The only real reason why we continue to use this image is because that was his ''only'' visible appearance for three years and by now most visitors to this article are now very familiar with this image. Hence, there is no desire to change the image we've all grown to love. I mean, what's wrong with it? We get to see Shark-Tooth Bubs' entire body ''and'' Mike's left hand! We could theoretically use his appearance on [[Main Page 25]], but ''definitely not'' [[Dangeresque: Puppet Squad]], in which he wears [[:Image:SharkToothBadguy.PNG|a mustache and white hat]] and is only seen from the waist up. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 20:29, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
::I changed the picture to a Main Page 25 scene right before you wrote that. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 20:31, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
:::Well, it's of a higher quality in any case. I'm sure the sysops won't mind too much. The old image can still be found on Puppets on the Road. {{User:The Chort/sig}} 20:37, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
::::Just for future reference, i see no reason to have images specifically from the website if ones from other places will do just as well, and certainly not if the other images are better. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 20:41, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

== OMG!! ==

I want a Shark-tooth Bubs toy!! I want one! I want one! I WANT ONE!!
:Frankly, my dear, this is a discussion better accepted at our {{pl|l=http://www.forum.hrwiki.org forum}}. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 21:18, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

== can u buy these? ==

cuz the brothers chaps or whoever makes shark tooth bubs plushies should do these as merchandise

i doubt you can get these
:As of today you cannot buy them, and they have never been sold. It is also very unlikely that you will be able to in the future. The Brothers Chaps did not make the plush toys themselves, but the toy manufacturers who received the design for Bubs misinterpreted it. Since these designs could therefore be considered "defective", The Brothers Chaps had no intention of selling them.
:While that may not be a valid reason anymore, it seems unlikely that they would contact the same manufacturer and ask them to ''deliberately'' produce another production run of the incorrect design. At this point they don't even have a section for plush toys on the website anymore, and they have not designed any new Homestar Runner merchandise since 2011. Kick-The-Cheats are already "extinct", and fetch very high prices when previous owners sell them.
:If a dedicated fan decides to [[unlicensed|hand-make Shark-Tooth Bubs plush toys and sell them]], that is actually a more likely scenario.
:In conclusion, please read the above response by MichaelXX2. --{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 20:50, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Deliberately Poor English

Defender1031 — Wed, 08 Jul 2020 14:27:53 GMT

Defender1031: /* Other appearances */ These are their own appearances and belong in chronological order.

[[Image:gameoverstummyhurts.png|thumb|Bad English these is.]]
'''Poor English''' (more commonly called '''[[Wikipedia:Engrish|Engrish]]''') is often deliberately used, particularly in relation to video games, which historically have been poorly translated into English from Japanese while localizing the games for the Western market.

== Video game-related appearances ==
*[[Population: Tire]] — The game's premise contains several instances of poor English, including "YOU ARE SOLDIER!", "YOU ONE ARE OF BRAVE FEW" and "[[Wikipedia:Metal Gear (video game)|I FEEL ASLEEP!]]".
*[[Thy Dungeonman]] — If the player beats the game, the game gives a "congraturation".
*[[Peasant's Quest]] — After you kill the [[Kerrek]] and then look at him, the message on the screen says, "He dead."
*[[Videro Games]] — [[Strong Bad]] complains about difficult video games that only reward with "a hearty CONGRATURATION!".
*[[Stinkoman 20X6]] — This game has many instances of "[[Wikipedia:Engrish|Engrish]]", such as "My stummy hurts" (pluralized as "Our stummies hurts") which also counts as a [[portmanteau]] of "stomach" and "tummy", "Keep try"[ing], and "[[Flash]] 7 or Hire" ("hire" is a [[homonym]] for "higher"). Its manual contains even more examples.
*[[Vector Strong Bad]] often uses poorly translated lines like "YOUR HEAD [[A SPLODE]]!" (a splode meaning "explode"). He also pronounces "hello" as "HELLOTE" (seen in the email [[alternate universe]]).
*[[Sundae Drivin']] — As seen in the email [[redesign]], the game includes quotes like "CHERRY GET!" and "YOUR [[G#Mispronunciation_of_G|JAMES]] OVER".
*[[Where's an Egg?]] — The [[Some Type of Online Auction|auction]] for a page of the [[Russia]]n instructions for this game contains poor English.
*[[SBCG4AP Dev Blog]] — Strong Bad wants his video game to say "GRAPHICS HAVE!" on the cover. An image also shows a picture of the game's box with the words "BOX IN!" on it.
*[[Homestar Ruiner]] — One of Strong Bad's reactions to being hurt in [[Snake Boxer 5]] is "I've been bited" (properly phrased as "bitten").

*Email [[myths & legends]] — In [[Bubs' Concession Stand]], the [[Bear Holding a Shark]] t-shirts say "My Baby Got Stole... By the Bear Holding A Shark!!"
*[[Sbemail 150?!?]] — Female Lappy 486 tells the viewer that Strong Bad is "understairs".
*Email [[isp]] — Homestar, as an insincere telephone recording, says "Thank you for holding. Your call is very unportant to us."
*Email [[redesign]] — Strong Bad says, "But I does!"
*Email [[trading cards]] — When Strong Bad is describing [[The Cheat]]'s [[Trading Cards|trading card]] game, the phrase flashing on the screen is "PLAY GET!"

Bug In Mouth Disease

Defender1031 — Mon, 06 Jul 2020 19:24:46 GMT

Defender1031: rv, while interesting, it has nothing to do with the cartoon itself.

{{toonnav|Big Toon|buginmouth|Shopping for Danger|Cool Things}}
[[Image:Bug in mouth.PNG|thumb|"Pom Pom! Santa! You gotta help me!"]]
Homestar swallows a bug and fears the end of the good times while Strong Bad is taped to the TV and Strong Sad searches for "the blue ones".

==Transcript==
''{The Telebision displays a test pattern, with the text "This cartoon is called:". A static blip replaces the text with "Bug in Mouth Disease".}''

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

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

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

''{Strong Bad enters.}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{Strong Sad enters.}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*A [[Wikipedia:Logical connective|Boolean operator]] is a logical conjunction describing the relationship between two assertions ('and' and 'or' being primary examples). Some search engines accept them.
*Using quotes refers to putting a multi-word search term inside of quotation marks. Most search engines will respond by searching for the enclosed phrase as a whole instead of the individual words.
*The [[Wikipedia:pancreas|pancreas]] is a large lobulated organ that secretes digestive enzymes and the hormones [[Wikipedia:insulin|insulin]] and [[Wikipedia:glucagon|glucagon]].
*A [[Wikipedia:Bail bondsman|Bail bondsman]] is a person who posts bail in exchange for a fee, usually 10 percent of the total bail.
*A "[[wikipedia:Quackery|quack]]" is an untrained person who pretends to be a physician and dispenses medical advice and treatment.
*The title of the toon is based on [[Wikipedia:Foot and mouth disease|foot and mouth disease]], a disease that affects cattle.
*When Strong Sad says, "I even did an image search..." he is referring to web sites (such as [[Wikipedia:Google Image Search|Google Image Search]]) which feature search engines that allow searching for pictures instead of web pages.
*The colors on the TV at the beginning of the toon are based on the [[Wikipedia:SMPTE color bars|SMPTE color bars]], a [[Wikipedia:Test card|test pattern]] commonly used by television broadcast stations when nothing is on the air.

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

pager: 555-7896
beeper: 555-3421

BUBS
PARANORMAL
INVESTIGATOR

EEEEEMAIL: BUBS@BUBS.BUBS

Bubs
Normal
Investigator

"Not Associated with
Bubs: Paranaormal Investigator!!"

"Dr." Bubs

VCR Repair/Fashion Consultant

*Bubs's [[Contacts|email address]] here is bubs@bubs.bubs, but it was bubs@homestarrunner.com in [[unused emails]].
*"The good times are over!" has been [[Quote of the Week]] twice, though the second time was for only one day.

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

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

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


*The phrase "[[why come]]" was first used in the [[Yearbook Character Page]], where the description for Bubs reads "That's why come he's so fat."
*Strong Bad comments that he made the [[Best/Worst X Ever|best omelette ever]].
* Strong Bad saying "can't you see Grandma's watching her stories?" is an example of [[Gender Confusion]].
* Homestar saying "hiccup" instead of actually hiccuping is another example of [[Fake Sound Effects]].

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

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

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

'''MATT:''' Thank you.

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

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

'''MIKE:''' Oh, yeah! ''{chuckling}'' Maybe, maybe! His head looks like a...

'''MATT:''' Dairy Queen ice cream cone, yeah!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''MATT:''' Vagabond?

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

'''MATT:''' Oh.

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

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

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

'''MATT:''' Poor Tucksworth.

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

''{pause}''

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

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

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

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

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

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Aww. Yeah, Caleb, I'd like to see you throw that suitcase!

''{pause}''

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

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

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

'''MIKE:''' I remember—

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''MIKE:''' Right.

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

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

'''MATT:''' Method acting?

'''MIKE:''' Method acting!

''{pause}''

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

''{pause}''

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

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

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

'''MIKE:''' Sounds hilarious!

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

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

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

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

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

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

''{pause}''

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

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

''{pause}''

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

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

'''MATT:''' No.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[[File:Taranchula.PNG|thumb|left|200px|Gets you all of the girls (in Scandinavia)]]
'''Taranchula''' is a death [[Heavy Metal|metal]] band first mentioned in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[band names]]. The members of the band are Dave Bjornborg, Dave Olafstenston, and Schenkel McDoo. The three members of the band are portrayed by [[Matt Chapman|Matt]], [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] and [[Matt Chapman|another Matt]]. Their only known songs are "[[Moving Very Slowly]]" from ''[[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]]'' (heard briefly during the email [[fingers]]), "The Decoupage" (whose video is directed by [[Teeg Dougland|Mort Dougland]]), "Brother In A Jar" (composed for [[Strong Bad]]'s would-be [[your funeral|funeral]]) and "[[Trudgemank]]", featuring [[Peacey P]] (for which The Cheat animated a music video). Also, in the Strong Bad Email [[montage]], Strong Bad can be seen listening to a Taranchula album with the [[Wagon Fulla Pancakes]], and in the email [[more armies]], an Easter egg reveals their album ''Shady Missionaries.'' The picture of Taranchula in the ''Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits'' insert is very reminiscent of [[Wikipedia:Glenn Danzig|Glenn Danzig]].

The video for "The Decoupage" is perhaps a spoof of the band [[Wikipedia:Tool (band)|Tool]]'s video for their single "Sober", as both videos are stop motion and feature a shapeless creature slithering about the sets of the videos. In Tool's case, the creature is of [[Wikipedia:Sober (Tool song)#Video|unknown origins]]; in Taranchula's case, it is a piece of meat. The video for "Moving Very Slowly" was released on the [[strongbad_email.exe|Strong Bad Email DVD]].

Products endorsed by the band include the [[Taranchula Black Metal Detector]] (from [[Videlectrix]] Kidx) and [[Cold Ones]] Dry.

*The name "McDoo" is actually more of a [[Wikipedia:Gaelic|Gaelic]] name than a Nordic one.
*Dave Bjornborg bears a striking resemblance to [[Wikipedia: Dethklok|Dethklok]] vocalist Nathan Explosion, the latter of whom is in turn derived from [[Wikipedia: George Fisher (musician)|George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher]], the singer of [[Wikipedia: Cannibal Corpse|Cannibal Corpse]].

Strong Sad and Pom Pom's Relationship

Defender1031 — Thu, 18 Jun 2020 07:13:28 GMT

Defender1031: rv, this spelling is intentional.

[[File:idependent.png|thumb|300px|"Well, it's as plain as Strong Sad and Pom Pom."]]
[[Strong Sad]] and [[Pom Pom]], perhaps because of their similar body shape, are occasionally seen working together. At times, however, the two have had as adversarial a relationship as anyone else's.

How can we tell it's a Core Duo. Couldn't it just be a G5 with the iSight camera?[[User:Geshmalderborgen|Geshmalder]] 14:38, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
:Technically, you're right, although the window of time between when the iSight was added to the iMac and the Core Duo was released was relatively narrow. The safest approach would be to just call it an iMac. Anyway, it's likely that TBC didn't have one in mind more than the other when they made this toon. I'ma go remove the Core Duo part (most readers probably don't know the difference anyway). {{User:Trey56/sig}} 18:18, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
The Cheat has always used an iMac. He just moved to a NEW iMac. Shouldn't that be how this is phrased?

== "High & Dry" Real World Reference ==

I think the following Real World Reference should be added:

*The dryer setting of "High & Dry" may be a reference to Radiohead's song by the [[Wikipedia:High_and_Dry|same name]], or Def Leppard's album [[Wikipedia:High_'n'_Dry|High 'n' Dry]].

TBC often make musical references, and have even referenced Def Leppard before in [[Peasant's Quest]]. I see no reason to believe this isn't also a musical reference. Afterall, "high and dry" as in "stranded" really makes no sense for laundry.

--[[User:Kentyman|Kentyman]] 18:26, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

:TTATOT (it could be one of many things). Plus, "high and dry" is a common phrase. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:28, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

== "Sundae Driving" real world reference ==

Yes, this is nitpicky, but I don't see why this would be a Beatles reference. "Sunday driving" was a commonly used expression long before "Day Tripper."

--[[User:Bigscarymike|Mike]] 22:54, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

== Strong Bad Presses His Luck again ==

Does anyone think that an addition of the fact that Strong Bad's referenced the game show Press Your Luck at a point in this email being the second time it happened would be anything noteworthy? --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 04:10, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
:When was the first time? {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 05:04, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
::The only thing I can find related to it is an invisicomment in [[the bet]] reading: 
::<blockquote>Please do not add references to "big money" being from "Press Your Luck", "Wheel Of Fortune", or any of a number of other game shows. This, that, and the other thing (TTATOT) so not a clear reference.</blockquote> 
::I guess it's not really a reference, then. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::It's a much clearer reference in this email, since he also says "No whammies", which was something specific to "Press Your Luck". And it may be worth mentioning that he's used the phrase "big money" in a similar context before - I feel less like supporting that, but I think absolutely that Press Your Luck should be mentioned in this email. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 14:09, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

== Not not brief and catchy ==

*The Cheat's redesign for the "No Loafing" sign is actually a [[Wikipedia:Double negative|double negative]], since the [[Wikipedia:No symbol|no symbol]] and the "No" are both forms of negation.
I added this fact, and I believe it to be completely true, while remaining clear, concise, and succinct, and I also think it explains something that isn't obvious. I'm bringing it here for discussion because it's been brought to my attention that the "No Loafing" text is ''over'' the circle, and this might warrant its removal. What do others think? -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 08:43, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

:I have in my room a no smoking sign that says "Not in here please" '''over''' the no symbol and it doesn't mean "No not in here please". {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 09:27, 12 July 2006 (UTC) 

::Mr. Cool is right. If the symbol is behind the text, it does not cross it out but rather emphasizes the "No"-message. — [[User:Loafing|Loafing]] 11:14, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

:::I talked to Tom last night and told him that I wanted to STUFF his fact, but inside I really wished we could have a talk page discussion instead (it was late, and I told myself I'd do it on the morning). I'd be more inclined to accept this fact if the no-symbol were overylaying the words, but since it's behind them (and less diameter than the length of the words), it just looks like it's there for flair. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 12:11, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

==Built In==
Despite it being speculation that The Paper is built in, it would explain a few things.

== One-handed typing! ==

There's nothing listed so far about Strong Bad typing "redesign" with one hand. However, I have no idea where to put it on the page myself.

== Just how dangerous is this? ==
:''The following is adapted from the original wording of a revised fun fact:''
While playing Russian roulette, if we assume that a player dies when a bullet is shot, then the odds of dying are 1 in 6, or 16.66%. The odds of dying from Color Wheel Roulette ("50% fewer deaths than Russian variety") are therefore 8.33% (one-half of 16.66%). Which means Garden Variety has a 4.16% chance to kill. Note that the preceding figures require a few assumptions in order to be true. If the gun has more or fewer than six chambers (for example, five- and seven-chambered revolvers are common), then the percentages would have to be adjusted. You also have to interpret "50% fewer deaths" strictly (that is, ''exactly'' 50.00%, as opposed to "about half"). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:46, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

:I'd think any activity where there's a significant chance of death to be pretty dangerous. I remember when I read that the [http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/space/06/27/shuttle.risk.ap/index.html astronauts on the current Space Shuttle mission] had a greater than 1% chance of death I thought to myself that it was pretty significant. The National Safety Council also published [http://www.nsc.org/lrs/statinfo/odds.htm an interesting report] on the odds of dying from various things. It's kind of scary if you look at some of those lifetime numbers. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:20, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

::Actually, I believe this is being interpreted the wrong way. The statement does not, in fact, mean "50% less chance of death per play". "50% less death" implies a ratio of the total number of deaths related to both games (either over the span of their existance, or per some time span). This makes it very difficult to judge your odds of death occuring, since the popularity of Russian roulette is difficult to guage, and the popularity of colour roulette would be impossible. -Tempestryder

:::According to the laws of statistics, "50% fewer deaths" and "50% less chance of death" are the same if you repeat the "experiment" often enough. Since we do not have real life data for Russian roulette ( [[Wikipedia:Russian Roulette|"The number of deaths caused by this practice is unknown"]] ), our calculations had to fall back on the theoretical odds of winning or losing the game. Many assumptions had to be made to make this work (does one die when losing the game? how many chambers? does 50% really mean 50%? how many rounds are played?). In the end, this fun fact turned into a discussion of the odds of Russian roulette and had not much to do with the sbemail anymore. That's all there is to it. {{User:Loafing/sig}} 02:21, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

== Carpet's Edge ==

I put this up as a goof but it got taken down...

When Coach Z walks in front of the Green screen, the edge of the carpet can be seen through his ankles. This should not happen, as Coach Z's feet would fully block the view of the carpet whether the green screen is replacing them or not.

== Franklin Delano Loafing ==

Ok...I had added a fact about how FDR had polio, so he couldn't walk, and that Strong Bad calling him lazy was a reference to that...do we need to vote on that or something before it gets added?

== Stop Motion? ==

Along with not being able to really play "Sundae Drivin'", Strong Bad shouldn't be able to interact with the stop motion cyclops. What does everyone else think?

:::Meh, that's the joke. In real life, the actors can't see what's happening, the chromakeyed background's only added in postprocessing.

When Strong Bad first starts typing, I'm pretty sure he says "My Opponent" where the transcript says it's an unintelligible mumble.

STRONG BAD: {typing} That's so funny that you should say that Jamie {says as an unintelligible mumble},

This would make sense, as it's a refference to Harvest Moon: Magical Melody (which is on Gamecube), where your rival is named Jamie.

==Do Loafing==
A few years ago there was something on the news about an anti drugs group that had produced a load of pencils to give to school children with the phrase "don't do drugs" on it. However they had to withdraw them when they realised that, because of the way round the text was, as they got sharpend they started saying "do drugs". Does anyone think what strongbad says about missing the begining of the sign and reading it as "do loafing" could be a reference to this? Kristofski

::::::for me this fact emphasises the reference. Otherwise, why would they think of "do loafing" as something people could think it says when it clearly doesn't?
:::::::Well, People ''could'' think it said "Do Loafing" because the "D" was chopped off and they thought that it was an "O."

== Reference to Mac related to marketing struggle? ==

I think in the 80s or maybe early 90s, Apple had to run an ad campaign showing people that Macintosh could actually do modern computing tasks and wasn't backwards or slow. Strong Bad seems to imply that the cheat's mac is childish and doesn't have what it takes to do proper computing. Could this be a reference to the once popular sterotype saying that macs weren't serious computers?
:I don't think that's a reference enough. Because when SB says that he's talking to The Cheat. And he rubs his head. But you could ask to put it up on STUFF for people to vote for it. P.S. Join the wiki. Being an IP is ssoooo boring. {{User:Theyellowdart/sig}}

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh, a little south of the border flavor. ''{typing}'' Dear Supper Bag, It bugs ''me'' how your face doesn't have a not tons of acne. If it did have a not tons of acne, ''you'' would be a whole lot cooler.

''{Strong Bad clears the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Look, you don't know what you're talking about, Shaheen ''{again, Strong Bad pronounces "Shaheen" as "Shaheeeen", and the Shaheen special effect appears over the word}''  Theme songs are just an excuse for showmakers to make less show. I'm sure viewership would triple if I had one of those crappy cartoon theme songs that bludgeons you over the head with the blunt end of the show's premise.

''{Theme song music fades in over his last words. Cut to a smiling Strong Bad prancing in the basement.}''

'''CRAPPY CARTOON THEME SONG:''' ''{singing}'' 
Strong Bad is a wrestleman, 
He's the email-checkinest guy in the land. 
He checks real emails from the net, 
He's got two brothers and The Cheat, his pet. The Cheat, his pet!!! 

''{"STRONG BAD" appears on the screen as the name is sung. Strong Bad types on a keyboard with boxing gloves on. Lappy flies into the screen, showing an email from punkkid87.}''

<blockquote class="lappy email" style="background-image:none">
Dear Strong Bad, 
I love your Tragdor! 
Draw him AGAIN!!! 
-punkkid87
</blockquote>

''{Strong Mad and Strong Sad dance in Club Technochocolate as they are announced. The Cheat slides into the screen, wearing cool shades and gets a close-up with the repetition of "THE CHEAT, HIS PET!!!".}''

There's nobody dumber than Homestar Runner 
On ''The Strong Bad Email Show''!

''{Homestar Runner breaks through the computer desk with a sandwich of light bulbs, opens his mouth wide, revealing large cartoon teeth, and bites into the sandwich. The title of the Strong Bad Email Show appears with Strong Bad's smiling face in front of a pink heart design.}''

''{The music ends. Cut back to Strong Bad sitting in front of the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And the ratings have gone through the roof. And let's not forget the life-affirming pop-ballad type theme song. Probably sung by some variety of Neville.

''{Fade through black to a scene with an unattended computer desk. The title "the Strong Bad Email Show" flies onto the screen. There are flowers on the desk and pictures of The Cheat, Strong Mad and Strong Bad on the wall. The characters are introduced with their pictures flying across the screen and their names appearing across them. Strong Bad shows a shadow [[Trogdor]] to The Cheat.}''

'''POP BALLAD-TYPE THEME SONG:''' ''{singing}'' 
You and me, babe, livin' for dreams, 
Lifin' for love, drinkin' for free. 
Sittin' on top of an old robot, sharin' and carin' it out. 
The memory's scrubbing you down! ''{fades}''

''{The music fades out and a clip montage starts, as Strong Bad's voiceover begins. Strong Bad is shown drinking a mix of coffee and a "COLDSON Lite" from a novelty drinking hat in the basement with The Cheat and Strong Sad; he floats in space; he looks up from typing on the Lappy and throws a stack of paper in the air.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And of course the best clips they show are from the un-aired pilot that you'll never see.

'''POP BALLAD-TYPE THEME SONG:''' ''{singing}'' 
Memory scrubbing you down! ''{fade out}''

''{The final shot shows Strong Bad in a tank with the Strong Badian emblem on the side in a desert. He turns the barrel towards the camera before the clip montage fades out to "created by Lem Sportsinterviews".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And just when you think you finally get to start watching some of the actual show, now you get to watch a commercial!

''{Cut to real-life hands holding coins and peanuts.}''

'''COMMERCIAL GUY 1:''' ''{voiceover}'' Do you make butt at your current job?

''{"$BUTT" is stamped on the screen}''

'''COMMERCIAL GUY 1:''' Do you want to make twice butt?

''{Cut to a Cakkalate brand calculator displaying "BUTT X 2" upside-down. It rotates counterclockwise 180 degrees. Cut to the CGNU online e-niversity: "website Coming Soon(ish)!" "Check back after all the bowl games ;)".}''

'''COMMERCIAL GUY 1:''' A shady online degree is just four clicks away at CGNU online e-niversity.

''{Four cursors appear. Cut to a wooden wall. A set of college pennants appear.}''

'''COMMERCIAL GUY 1:''' Most colleges take four years to complete.

''{Cut to a hand with a mouse against a purple background. The hand clicks the mouse button four times, causing the words "FRESHMAN!" "SOPHOMORE!" "JUNIOR!" "SENIOR!" to appear one after the other in increasing font size.}''

'''COMMERCIAL GUY 1:''' At CGNU, one year equals one click.

''{Cut to a mortarboard flying through the air. Cut to Senor Cardgage wearing a blue baseball cap in front of some boxes. His degrees are displayed on the screen as he moves his hand down.}''

'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' I got fourteen degrees while on my lunch take. Now I can legally prescribe marriages in the state of Kansattica.

''{Cut to a blue background repeating the word "LEGITIMATE". An "(On)line CGNU e-NIVERSITY" medallion with four cursors rolls in. The words "Join the e-NIVERSITY e-VOLUTION e-DAY" appear in a blue font as Commercial Guy 1 says them, along with "Banner ad valorum".}''

'''COMMERCIAL GUY 1:''' ''{voiceover}'' Enroll now, and join the e-niversity e-volution e-day. Uh, well, today. ''{the word TODAY!!" appears over "e-DAY" in a yellow font}'' That last one didn't quite work out.

''{Fade through black to a Powered By The Cheat-style intertitle showing Strong Bad chasing his laptop.}''

'''FEMALE ANNOUNCER 1:''' ''{voiceover}'' We'll be right back with more ''Strong Bad Emails''.

''{Cut to balding man standing in front of a newspaper background.}''

'''COMMERCIAL GUY 2:''' ''{voiceover}'' Do you wanna cut your own arm off?

'''BALDING MAN:''' ''{loud, long sigh}''

''{Cut through static back to Strong Bad at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Now, don't worry. Just in case you were hoping to get gipped out of another minute of actual show, you get to hear the jazzy instrumental version over the end credits!

''{A jazzy instrumental version of the pop ballad theme song is played. Cut to Strong Bad talking into a microphone in front of Bubs' concession stand at night. End credits are shown over the scene.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And on the off-chance that you actually wanted to hear the theme song... we've taken care of that, too.

''{A program preview with the logo for ''Three is 4 Tonite'' moves into the screen and squeezes the Strong Bad Email Show end credits into the left third of the screen. The music is faded significantly. The Action Cool News 5 logo slides in. As the announcer announces ''Three is 4 Tonite'', the faces of the four main characters appear, as well as the text "Weeknights at 7:30, 8:00, 9:30, 11:00, 11:30.}''

'''ANNOUNCER 2:''' ''{voiceover}'' Coming up later on ''Three is 4 Tonite'': join Mandy, Brandy, Andy, and Scurge, as they learn how to give a care. But first...

''{Cut to the words "Coming Up Next..."}''

'''ANNOUNCER 2:''' They're tiny, they're toony, they're ''all'' a little loony.

''{The graphics for the ''Cheat Commandos'' show Reynold being taped to a rocket and Fightgar checking the tape. The Cheat Commandos logo appears with the text "Weekdays at right now".}''

'''ANNOUNCER 2:''' It's the Cheat Commandos.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad at the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You see, Shaheen? ''{yet again, Strong Bad pronounces "Shaheen" as "Shaheeeen", and the Shaheen special effect appears}'' You're basically asking me to dedicate 2 minutes of my 3 to 5 minute email show, to what is essentially a commercial for something you're already watching! And besides, I give you people a new sbemail song every freakin' week. Allow me to leave you with the old standard 'When Email Comes to Town, You Know, You Know, It's Like a Rainstorm... In Your Browser.' ''{stops typing and starts singing}'' When email comes to town, you know, you know, it's like a rainstorm... in your browser.

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

''{Funky theme song music is played and credits scroll by, while the Powered by The Cheat show preview squeezes into the screen; A red curtain is visible with spot lights moving over it. The text "Next! All new Powered By The Cheat!!! Later... Incredibly Local News" and the Action Cool News 5 logo slide in.}''

'''ANNOUNCER 3:''' ''{voiceover}'' ''{chuckles}'' Next up on ''Powered By The Cheat'': Strong Mad gets his own talk show.

''{"Strong Mad's Evening Hour" appears, followed by Powered by The Cheat Strong Mad (and his mouth and hands).}''

'''ANNOUNCER 3:''' And his first guest is hilarity!

''{Cut to Powered by The Cheat Strong Mad sitting behind a late night talk show host desk in front of a skyline. The guest with a The Cheat face and glasses appears in his seat, wobbling, before suddenly appearing up-close to the camera, laughing and bouncing up and down for a few seconds.}''

*The website for CGNU (http://www.cgnuonline-eniversity.edu/) does not exist, as only actual educational institutions can register .edu addresses. However, a fan registered http://www.cgnuonline-eniversity.com/, and recreated the page seen in the email; the list of degrees could be found by clicking on the exclamation point after "website Coming Soon(ish)". The domain has since expired.
*"We'll be right back with more Strong Bad Emails" is voiced by [[Jackie Chapman]], as revealed in the DVD commentary.
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed read, "Yeah, how come Strong Bad's email show doesn't have a theme song?"
*The [[YouTube]] description for this email is "Strong Bad tries to explain why his email show doesn't have a theme song."

===Remarks===
*"BUTT X 2" is the display on the calculator held upside down. It is not possible for most calculators to display "U" and "T" upside down (the typed numbers would have to be similar to a lowercase "N" and two "L"s back to back).
*During the Crappy Cartoon theme song, the "Trogdor" email on the Lappy is displayed with the [[font]] from the [[Compy 386]], instead of the Lappy's current font, Glitch0.
*The Cheat wears [[Cool Shades|cool shades]] during the first theme song.
*The four characters of Three is 4 Tonite all have the same faces but different hair styles that were apparently added on to the original photo.
*Even though he is The Cheat's best friend, this is the first time Strong Mad is mentioned in a Powered By The Cheat.
*If the shots in the "Neville" theme song version are from the unaired pilot it would mean that Strong Bad had the [[Lappy 486]] before he had the [[Tandy 400]].
*The guy making "butt" is shown holding nutshells, possibly a reference to the phrase "working for peanuts", meaning working for practically nothing.
*'Kansattica' where Senor Cardgage can legally prescribe marriages is a [[portmanteau]] of Kansas and Attica, a reference to Attica, KS, a small town in south-central Kansas about 60 miles southwest of Wichita. It may also refer to Attica, a region in Greece.

===Goofs===
[[Image:SBETheme Song Goof.PNG|thumb|Mouthless Strong Bad]]
[[Image:Sbscreen.PNG|thumb|Hilarity!]]
*There is no punctuation mark after Strong Bad types "Shaheen" for the first time.
*During the scene in the end credits with Strong Bad telling jokes, his mouth is shaped like an "O" and is covering his usually rectangle shaped mouth for one frame, giving him two mouths. Later in the same scene, his mouth disappears for one frame. This occurs another two times later on.
*Strong Bad's head pokes into the Powered By The Cheat preview when the preview squeezes into the screen.
*When Strong Bad's portrait fades in and out of the screen during the ballad theme song, parts of his mask can be seen through his forehead diamond. (This is caused when two non-merged Flash objects are faded at the same time, indicating Strong Bad's diamond is actually a separate object to his mask.)

===Commentary Transcript===
'''MATT:''' Go, Ryan.

'''MIKE:''' This one— Ryan's gonna take the, uh, lead on this email commentary.

'''MATT:''' You run point!

'''RYAN:''' I'm a— I'm a big fan of theme songs.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah? What's your favorite TV theme song, Ry?

'''RYAN:''' Uh... Fortunately, a mix... Well, I dunno. Either Golden Girls, that's a good one...

'''MIKE:''' Uh huh.

'''RYAN:''' Or Family Ties is another good one.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Which one's Golden Girls? How does it go?

'''RYAN:''' A friend and a confidant.

''{Mike and Matt laugh}''

'''MATT:''' I— I always thought it was, uh, "You're a friend and I'm confident."

''{Mike and Ryan laugh}''

'''MATT:''' And so I thought it was ''{begins singing}'' "You're my fr— You're a friend and I'm confident!" And, uh, it just meant that, like, you know, I'm sure that we're friends! And then, what was, uh...

'''RYAN:''' Uh, Perfect Strangers had a good one.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, that was a good one.

'''RYAN:''' Uh...

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Um... ''{pause}'' Remember— So, when did things like, the, uh... the Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Hour, and, like, the Tom and Jerry Show, like, when they had a theme song, and it wasn't just shorts anymore? You know? Like, when did those ''happen?'' Was that— Was that in the '80s? Was that growing up, or was it prior to that?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno, it may have been in the '70s, I seem to remember 'em for a while, but...

'''MATT:''' Remember— I— That one reminds me of, uh... of the Tom and Jerry theme song. At the end, remember, he was picking up a weight and they all got sucked into the ground?

'''MIKE:''' Oh, yeah!

'''MATT:''' 'Cause he had... the weight he was trying to lift was too...

'''MIKE:''' Here's a Family Ties style, uh...

'''RYAN:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Mm-hmm. Including Meredith Baxter The Cheat! The Cheat Baxter-Birnie!

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' The Cheat Bax— Meredith Baxter The Cheat! ''{laughs}'' That would have been much better. ''{seeing Strong Bad do shadow puppetry}'' How is he doing—

'''RYAN:''' Growing Pains.

'''MIKE:''' Yep.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

''{Ryan laughs}''

'''RYAN:''' Didn't we learn Alan Thicke wrote a lot of 'em?

'''MATT:''' Uh... or were we mistaken about that? I think—

'''RYAN:''' He ''wrote'' them. He didn't ''sing'' them.

'''MATT:''' He didn't sing them, that's right.

'''RYAN:''' 'Cause even— Uh, he wrote the Facts of Life one... I saw recently.

'''MATT:''' Ah. That looked like the— Cheers, uh... Doesn't Cheers use Cooper Black?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Yeah, at the end... for the "Created by..."

'''MATT:''' Yeah... ''{pause}'' "Check back after the bowl games!" They're— We're— They're really into the bowl games. Do you think that includes the Pro Bowl?

'''MIKE:''' Ohhh...

'''MATT:''' CGNU Online E-niversity.

'''MIKE:''' Definitely. The Pro Bowl. My favorite sporting event of the year.

'''MATT:''' Uh, so, Mike did a lot of this email. I was out of town. And Mike did a lot of this...

'''MIKE:''' Where'd you go? Where were you, man?!

'''MATT:''' I don't remem— Oh, I was in New— New York. ''{pronounces "York" like "Youk"}''

'''MIKE:''' Oh.

'''MATT:''' I remember watching this with millionaire gadabout Craig Zobel.

'''MIKE:''' Look! It's Jackie!

'''MATT:''' Hey! That's old wife Jackie!

''{pause as the three laugh while the balding man ponders the possibilty of cutting his arm off}''

'''MATT:''' You know, maybe. He's considering cutting his arm off.

'''MIKE:''' He definitely will! C'mon. Who're you kidding?

'''MATT:''' Next time that guy shows up he should... not have an arm. ''{pause}'' Um...

''{pause}''

'''MIKE:''' "Based on the comedy of..." I know, uh, Everybody Loves Raymond, uh... Home Improvement.

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Did Seinfeld?

'''MIKE:''' I don't know if Seinfeld had that in the credits. Those other ones had in the credits "based on the comedy of".

'''MATT:''' So this is our local affiliate, uh, what, channel 10. Uh... 4— Channel— Well, 46 was the local thing but it was channel 10 on cable. The guy would always— It was before Charles in Charge.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' "But first, they're tiny, they're toony, they're ''all'' a little looney! It's Tiny Toon Adventures! And next, Lembeck chops his head off... on Charles in Charge." ''{pause}'' Um... So, yeah, how 'bout— When did squishy— squishing start... at the end of, uh... the promo for some other show happening.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I don't know why...

'''RYAN:''' Yeah, to fit more ads.

'''MATT:''' Right.

'''MIKE:''' I dunno why they allow it. Sometimes movies, they get so squished you definitely can't read them...

'''MATT:''' And plus, movies, they run them by really fast.

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' It's, like, pointless. Yeah, really fast. Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' Coach!
