'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, big money! Big money! And...email!

''{Reading email}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Dear Strong Bad, 
Do you ever go over to The King of 
Town's place for dinner? If so, 
what's it like? 
 
Chris 
Ann Arbor, Michigan</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad says "Chris Ann Arbor" as though it is the email sender's whole name, and places the stress on the middle syllable of "Michigan", pronouncing it as mish-EE-gan.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''(typing)'' Well, Chris Ann, I hate to admit it but uh, yeah, there was this one time when I went over to The King of Town's castle. Seems I placed a bet with one Homestar Runner some Tuesday night.

''{Cut to Strong Bad and Homestar Runner in the field at night.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on. Let me get this uh-straight: You're betting me that you're cool.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yep, I'm cool.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And if you're not cool, you have to change your name to... Kevin DuBrow. But if you are cool, I gotta spend the night over at The King of Town's?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's the deal, man. The total deal.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're goin' down, son.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No ways.

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right! Let's see you be's cool.

''{Homestar pulls out a pair of [[Cool Shades|shades]] and slowly puts them on. He pauses a moment for the effect to sink in.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' 'Sup?

''{Strong Bad takes this in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, crap!!

''{Cut to The King of Town's castle. Strong Bad rings the doorbell.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Come on in.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{peeks out from behind the door}'' Is the coast clear?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' The coast is toast!

''{Strong Bad comes out from behind the door. He is wearing a big fake beard that seems to be made out of a piece of bark}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, let's get this over with! ''{He takes off the beard and enters.}''

''{The two walk over to The King of Town's pantry.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' So here's all my foodstuffs. You want some Pork Snagglins? Or a can of Butter-da or anything?

'''STRONG BAD:''' King, I think that stuff's for automotive use only.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' It's possible. Ooh! And check it out! This is my 200-pound bag of Awwww Gratin potatoes! It's an '83!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, that sucks. Look, do you have any video games or, like, R-rated movies?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' I have ''a'' video game. It's the stand-up kind even! Like from an arcade.

'''STRONG BAD:''' No way! Really? Why didn't you say so, you creepy old man? Let's play it!!

''{The game turns out to be ''Typing Tutor Turbo''.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh... never mind.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' How many WPMs can you get up to? That's words per minute, you know.

'''STRONG BAD:''' You're about to get 175 fists per stomach if I'm not eating ice cream inside of one minute!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ooh!

''{Strong Bad is narrating as they scarf up "ice style cream." Flavors visible are "choco-gravy" and "maybe mint?"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So in the end it didn't turn out half bad. I got to eat a crap load of ice cream.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Want another scoop of casserole flavored?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah! Yeah! Spoon it up! ''{voiceover}'' And I left an open can of mayonnaise in his ventilation ducts.

''{Cut to a shot from the interior of a duct as Strong Bad puts in a can of "army-style" [[mayonnaise]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh, and Typing Tutor isn't actually that bad a game if you play it the right way.

''{Cuts to outside the castle, where Strong Bad is hoisting Typing Tutor over The King of Town's head.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Get ready for fun!

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{blindfolded}'' I'm ready!

''{Cut back to Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Just goes to show you Chris Ann, big losers are what you make of them. For instance, I'm gonna go make an indentured servant out of Strong Sad. And now, the get up noise.

''{We hear the Geddup noise as Strong Bad gets up and leaves. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' My name's not Homestar. It's Kevin DuBrow.
:'''MARZIPAN:''' I thought that was if you lost the bet.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, right. Never mind! 'Sup?
:'''MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, that is not cool.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes, it is. Strong Bad said so.

:'''HOMESTAR:''' ''{interrupting, forcefully}'' Yes!

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*An [[Wikipedia:Indentured servitude|indentured servant]] is an unfree laborer under contract to work for another person for a specified amount of time. This labor is often unpaid, in return for accommodation, food, other essentials, and/or free passage to a new country. After working for a number of years he or she is released from the contract and free to own land or practice a trade.

===Trivia===
*At the loading page of this email, the letters of the word "loading" do not blink.

===Goofs===
*The letters of the first few words of the second line of Strong Bad's response are too close together (e.g. the M in "admit" overlaps the D slightly).

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad uses "[[be's]]" when challenging Homestar.
*The King of Town has a lot of [[The King of Town's Food|food]] from previous episodes. There is...
**[[Schenectady Crispies]] [[Breakfast Cereal|cereal]] (from [[labor day]])
**"[[Potate]]" Chips (from [[morning routine]])
**[[Fluffy Puff Mayo]] (from [[A Decemberween Pageant]])
**Cocoa Butter (from [[suntan]])
**Animal Phat (from [[suntan]])
*The [[Typing Tutor Turbo]] game plays the same sound that plays when you start [[Revenge of the King]]. This sound, in turn, is based on [[The King of Town DVD]] music.

===Real-World References===
*The humor in the phrase "Big money, big money" lies in the fact that this phrase is often used in casinos or game shows, and the email is about a bet.
*"The coast is toast" is the tagline for the movie ''[[imdb:tt0120461|Volcano]]''.
*"Typing Tutor" was a computer game whose purpose, not surprisingly, was to teach people how to type. (The "arcade Typing Tutor" in the email doesn't even have a keyboard; it looks more like a [[Wikipedia:Space Invaders|Space Invaders]] clone but with letters instead of aliens.)
** The letters on the Typing Tutor game are in the same order as the letters on an English-language [[Wikipedia:QWERTY|QWERTY]] keyboard (QWERTY, ASDFGH, ZXCVBN).
**In addition, the "Turbo" may be a reference to some games that use that line, most likely ''[[Wikipedia:Street Fighter II|Street Fighter 2 Turbo]]''.
* Awww Gratin potatoes is a play on [http://southernfood.about.com/od/potatocasserolerecipes/r/bl30119t.htm "au gratin" potatoes], a dish consisting of thinly sliced potatoes baked with cheese and breadcrumbs.
*[[Wikipedia: Kevin DuBrow|Kevin DuBrow]] was the late lead singer of the metal band [[Wikipedia:Quiet Riot|Quiet Riot]]. Although Homestar and Strong Bad pronounce his last name as if it rhymes with "plow," it actually rhymes with "snow."


===Fast Forward===
* Although Strong Bad says "And now, the get up noise" in this email, in the email [[geddup noise]], Strong Bad corrects Marc by saying it's called "[[the Geddup Noise]]."
:*Despite calling it the get up noise in this episode, it is later revealed that it is not the original Geddup Noise, but its cousin, Chairscoot. The original Geddup Noise left sometime around the email [[kids' book]].
* Also in [[geddup noise]], the announcer for [[The Show]] called Homestar [[Kevin]], though not necessarily Kevin DuBrow.

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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Welcome back to the World Series of Poker. My name is Strong Bad, accompanied here by Mike Chapman.

'''MIKE:''' Hello there, everyone.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, so Strong Bad's got pocket aces here—

'''MIKE:''' Ooh, pocket— pocket jacks.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah—

'''MIKE:''' Pocket hooks, we call them

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yes. And the turn... Oh, didn't get anything on the turn. Okay, sorry. Uhh, I've been watching a lot of Travel Channel lately.

'''MIKE:''' Or any other—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or four other networks that play Hold 'em. ''{pause}'' I like this night scene.

'''MIKE:''' I like— yeah, the moon, uh, with the rings around it's kind of— kind of nice.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, did you do that?

'''MIKE:''' The crickets? Yeah, I made that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nice work.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, Kevin DuBrow, you know—

'''MIKE:''' Who— Who is that?

'''STRONG BAD:''' The incomparable.

'''MIKE:''' Who is that?

'''STRONG BAD:''' He's lead singer for Quiet Riot, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, really?

'''STRONG BAD:''' He had a metal face.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah ''{laughs}''— Yeah, that's right.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, he— What happened was, he shredded so much— he didn't play the guitar—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah—

'''STRONG BAD:''' —but the guitar shredded so much guitar in front of his face, that it melted off and he had to have it replaced with a metal face.

'''MIKE:''' Speaking of shredded guitars...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, dressed like, uh, what's his name, Billy Gibbons?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Or that other guy—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ZZ Top, or the other one. Not the drummer, though. So, I mean, who didn't have this experience where, just like, you're going through the directory; mom said you could have somebody spend the night on Friday; none of your ''real'' friends are available, so—

'''MIKE:''' So you have to invite the King of Town over?

'''STRONG BAD:''' So you—

'''MIKE:''' Or you have to invite yourself to the King of Town's house?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, you know—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, but—

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

'''MIKE:''' That never happened. I— I think no one— that never happened to anyone but you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on! You had— you're so desperate, you were like, "I'll hang out with the loser guy."

'''MIKE:''' 'Cause you—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Usually they might have a lot of cool toys, or a hot mom. ''{Mike laughs}'' Right? You never did that?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah—

'''STRONG BAD:''' You never did that?

'''MIKE:''' Uh, yeah, I did.

'''STRONG BAD:''' See, like I'd probably seen through the window the... the... the... silhouette

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' silhouette

'''STRONG BAD:''' —of an arcade game, and thought, like, "Oh! It's got Gallagher in there," you know?

'''MIKE:''' The comedian?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, you've never played his stand-up game? ''{Mike laughs}'' Breaking watermelons all over the place. ''{Pause}'' That was some good ice cream, though.

'''MIKE:''' Choc— Mayo Gravy sounds good.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, it was good. And it had giblets. Real Johnson Giblets.

'''MIKE:''' That's a good idea right there: putting the mayo in the ventilation duct.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I did that in Art class.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I had teach— Art teacher didn't like the smell of mayo.

'''MIKE:''' How long did it take before it really started stinking?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Four years.

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, I was—

'''MIKE:''' It seems like mayonnaise would go bad sooner than that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, it did!

'''MIKE:''' But it didn't smell leftover—

'''STRONG BAD:''' I— They thought it was ''me''! They blamed it on ''me''!

===Fun Facts===
*The [[Wikipedia:World Series of Poker|World Series of Poker]] is considered the most important poker tournament, and has lately aired on [[Wikipedia:ESPN|ESPN]].
*The [[Wikipedia:Travel Channel|Travel Channel]] is a cable network which showcases various travel shows and documentaries. One of its most popular programs is the [[Wikipedia:World Poker Tour|World Poker Tour]].
*Kevin DuBrow having a metal face is a reference to Quiet Riot's mascot (not DuBrow), who wore a red straitjacket and a metal hockey mask.
*[[Wikipedia:Billy Gibbons|Billy Gibbons]] is the guitarist for the rock band [[Wikipedia:ZZ Top|ZZ Top]] and is famous for his large, bushy beard. "The other one" refers to bassist Dusty Hill, who also has a beard; "not the drummer" refers to Frank Beard, who ironically does not.
*[[Wikipedia:Leo Gallagher|Gallagher]] is a comedian famous for his stand-up act in which he smashes watermelons with a sledgehammer. This is also a pun on the popular arcade game [[Wikipedia:Galaga|Galaga]].
*[[Wikipedia:Giblets|Giblets]] are the edible viscera of a fowl. Giblets are commonly used to make [http://www.globalgourmet.com/food/egg/egg1196/gibgravy.html gravy].

Talk:Rap Song

Duck Secks — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 02:36:48 GMT

Duck Secks: /* Incorrect reference for Mix Tape */

==Coach Z Doesn't Sound Like Himself==
Hey!!! did any of you notice that coach z doesnt sound like himself until the rap{{unsigned|67.170.119.144|0:45:18, 2007-11-13}}

:That because it was a powered by the cheat cartoon.{{unsigned|68.210.53.58|0:53:04, 2007-11-12}}
:The Cheat is doing the voices.{{unsigned|75.72.21.221|0:53:29, 2007-11-12}}
:That would be great... I mean [[Mike]]. He tends to do that for those [[Powered by The Cheat]] thingies. But perhaps it should be mentioned in the transcript when it's a PBTC voice and when it's Coach Z's voice. -- [[User:Laser-Grilled Crab & Cheese Sandwich|LGC&CS]] 01:32, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
::How should it be noted, however? It doesn't look like there is any precedent for dialog in a PBTC voice and then a musical piece with the regular voice. Should {PBTC} noted in front of each line, or note in the description? {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 14:57, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
::I'd support putting "Powered by the Cheat" or something tothat effect in front of everyone's name until the song starts. The Cheat made an intro on his own, and then made a video to a previously recorded R-A-P S-O-N-G. That's my view of it, at least. [[User:132.161.138.10|132.161.138.10]] 20:35, 13 November 2007 (UTC) (I used to have an accoun, but I guess if you use it too infrequently it's DELETED? That's happened to me twice.)
:::I'm pretty sure accounts are only deleted under extreme circumstances. I believe this is the case in most wikis, sometimes for legal reasons as well as technical ones. Here at the HRWiki, I don't think [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ the license] prevents them from deleting accounts (though I'm 1: not a lawyer, and 2: haven't really read the license looking for that kind of thing), but the technical issues here remain the same as anywhere else: If you delete an account, what happens to all of their edits? In any case, knowing what your account names were would help in tracking down the problem, and a [[Special:Listusers/sysop|sysop]] could help you if you brought it to their attention. Well, if it's an account issue, you might just need a [[Special:Listusers/bureaucrat|bureaucrat]]. -- [[User:Laser-Grilled Crab & Cheese Sandwich|LGC&CS]] 03:36, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

==Dr. Dre Reference==
I'm glad to see the Dr. Dre "reference" was deleted. I'm sorry I spent the time adding links. Besides that it's a rap song (and rap songs are all alike, right?) I don't see the similarity. And I'm certainly not comfortable with the links because of the profanity in the Wikipedia articles. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 02:14, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

:I'm unfamiliar with the song, so I have no clue if there's any hidden references to it in this toon. I removed it because... well, I think facts that say "there is a reference to whatever" without saying what, exactly, the reference *is*, are essentially useless. They more or less expect you to *know*, which not everyone does. -{{User:YK/sig}} 02:19, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

==Incorrect reference for Mix Tape==
I think the fun fact is grabbing the wrong part of the Wikipedia entry for "mix tape." This 'toon is definitely referring to the Hip Hop definition of mix tape, more like a demo than a home-made sample of other people's tracks.

From wikipedia:
"Often each track on a promotional hip hop mixtape will feature the same artist, thus making it more difficult to differentiate from the definition of a standard album. However, these mixtapes will usually have much lower production values than a studio album (such as housing "Demo" versions of tracks, or simply un-mastered/un-mixed versions of the tracks), and contain numerous collaborations, remixes, freestyles and voice-overs, often arranged in a specific flowing fashion, much like retail albums are."

...Oh jeez. You're probably right. --[[User:Duck Secks|Duck Secks]] 02:36, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

==New Math==

<blockquote>
*"My name is [[Tenerence Love]]" actually equals <math>Tenerence Love + 1</math> by order of operations, not <math>Tenerence Love remainder 3</math> as stated.
**Additionally, if the equation is interpreted as <math>(My name is Tenerence Love + My Name is Tenerence Love) / My name is Tenerence Love </math>, it should equal two, by factoring.
</blockquote>

...so, we're debating the mathematical formula behind what're basically nonsensical lyrics? As I said in the edit summary when I removed these, this seems to be talk page material and nothing more. Anyone? -{{User:YK/sig}} 05:12, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

::I was about to say the same thing. They're FUN facts, people. Who honestly cares whether or not it would be remainder three or the square root of piemonade???? I vote DELORTED!!--{{User:NevaDie/sig}} 05:31, 13 November 2007 (UTC) Edit: oh, it already was delorted. Too little too late.
Keep it civil. I actually found this very interesting and worked it out for myself. ''MyNameIsTenerenceLove'' = –1 if you perform the addition before the division; otherwise it is undefined. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:03, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
:I'm not saying it's not *true* or anything... I think it's great talk page material, but trying to analyze a nonsensical "math problem" in a comical rap song seems... a bit odd, IMO. -{{User:YK/sig}} 07:32, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
::Hmm... I guess I hear the maths differently to you guys... I hear it as (abbreviating ''MyNameIsTenerenceLove'' as <math>x</math> for readability): <math>\frac{x+x}x = x\mbox{ r}3</math>, that is: <math>\frac{x+x}x = x + \frac 3 x</math> which solves to <math>x=1 \plusmn \sqrt 2 i\,</math>. Of course, this has problems, as the "remainder" thingy usually only makes sense when you're dealing with integers, not complex numbers... but it's a reasonable extension. Anyways, the order-of-operations reading, <math>x+\frac x x=x\mbox{ r}3</math>, makes even less sense, since the division has to be the last step for the remainder thing to make sense. Also, I'm with YK here... precedent is that pointless mathematical overanalysis, however fun, belongs on the talk page. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 07:52, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
:::Glad to see I'm not the only one who heard that and thought of a quadratic equation. I'm tempted to claim this is an IR to Virus ("Did the quadratic formula explode?" -SB) but that's... um... unlikely. At best. It could also be a nod to the old Bogus Mathematical Theorems, but I doubt that as well. Anyway, for the record, even though it makes no sense to state the equation with a remainder using the order of operations reading, you can still solve it for ''MyNameIsTenerenceLove''. It's 3. [[User:Nightsong81|Nightsong81]] 21:21, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

To anyone who wants this in the article: Y'all buscuitheads, you remind me of ''[[Wikipedia:A Beautiful Mind (film)|A Beautiful Mind]]'' — "finding" meaning in the meaningless. Rondleman, you crack me up. Crack! Me! Up! (P.S. I <s>hated</s> strongly disliked ''A Beautiful Mind''.) Whew, I get ornery at 1:00 in the morning! I do have to say, "the square root of piemonade" made me laugh. Thanks for that, Nevadie. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 08:13, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

It's just a parody of the fact that he said "plus" in the second line, which can mean adding in the grammatical sense or in the mathematical sense. It's called poetic license. [[User:Awexome|Awexome]] 20:16, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Awexome. Poetic license and all that. Oh, and dot com, I wasn't being uncivil. Only sarcastic.--{{User:NevaDie/sig}} 22:00, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

"Finding meaning in the meaningless"? Isn't that the whole point of this wiki? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 00:11, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
:The equation is impossible, given the "remainder 3" part that you all seem to be ignoring, order of operations, there's no way to have a remainder three in such a case, and order given, there's no remainder at all. This is not a real equation, it's impossible to solve, and we shouldn't even try. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:15, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
:::The equation, performed in the stated order, is perfectly solvable if you think of it as a quadratic equation and treat "MyNameIsTeneranceLove" as a variable (say, X). The "remainder 3" would then be "X remainder 3," which is just another way of saying "X plus 3 over X." Phlip explained this quite adequately. If you take the order of operations into account, the equation is even easier to solve. It's first year algebra, and X ends up equaling 3. Sompm's HS math teacher explains this one below, and it's pointed out (sans explanation) above. The fact that it really makes no sense to use a remainder in this kind of equation, and that you wouldn't actually encounter such a problem (either version) in real life, does not make it "impossible to solve." We've solved it. Both versions. Several times. [[User:Nightsong81|Nightsong81]] 04:46, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

::I think the problem here is people are assuming that the mathematical operations being used are defined in the "normal" way, and that phrases such as "My name is Tenerence Love" can be treated as a variable, or a value in some set of numbers. While I think [[TBC]] were just being silly, if anyone were to seriously attempt to analyze these quasi-mathematical statements it'd probably be wiser to interpret them using some other definition for the operations. 1+1 does not always equal 2. Addition with real numbers is defined differently than it is for matrices, or in an abelian group defined over an elliptic curve. [[Wikipedia:Abstract_algebra]] is a good place to start if you really want to damage your ability to see mathematics the same way ever again. -- [[User:Laser-Grilled Crab & Cheese Sandwich|LGC&CS]] 00:24, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
:::hmm... but there isn't really such a thing as dividing matricies. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 00:27, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
::::Inverse matrices. Division in the set of reals is simply multiplication by the inverse of the divisor <math>(\tfrac{3}{4} = 3 * 4^{-1})</math>. It's a little harder to find the inverse of a matrix than it is in simple algebra, but that's the closest thing to division in matrix math. Not all operations are defined for all sets anyway. That was partially my point. My other point was that mathematical operations have been defined in a number of ways not familiar to most people, and can be freely redefined (especially since people made it all up in the first place). In this case, only [[Tenerence Love]] could really tell us what this was supposed to mean. And in reality, it was most likely just TBC being silly. I don't think either of them has advanced knowledge of math, given that Mike studied Fine Arts, and Matt went to film school. Tenerence Love's probably not a mathematician either, neglecting the fact that he doesn't actually exist beyond H*R. -- [[User:Laser-Grilled Crab & Cheese Sandwich|LGC&CS]] 09:40, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

I was value-ing this, and here's what I came up with: 5 plus five (ten) divided by five is three off five. is my name is tenerence love 5? oh, wait, I just figured out. that's not hor remainders workI was value-ing this, and here's what I came up with: 5 plus five (ten) divided by five is three off five. is my name is tenerence love 5? oh, wait, I just figured out. that's not how remainders work [[User:Sompm|Sompm]]

I ran it by my highshool math teacher mother, and we came up with this: according to the order of oprations, we divide x by x first, to get one, so it's x+1 = xR3, and because the fraction of the division is the remainder over the denominator so it's x+1=x+3/x. if x is 3, the x+1=x+1.
in short, "my name is tenerence love" is 3. [[User:Sompm|Sompm]] 02:38, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Anony ties lowercase i's in: [[User:Dagron|Dagron]] 02:39, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
"*Solving (Tenerence Love + Tenerence Love)/Tenerence Love = Tenerence Love remainder 3 yields Tenerence Love = 1+i√2 or 1-i√2. This is another instance of [[lowercase i's]]."

A slight correction for Dagron:
When you plug 1-i√2 back into the equation, you get 0 = 4i√2. If you write out the equation as you did, only 1+i√2 correctly solves for Tenerence Love. This, of course, ignores that when it is calculated by the ordinary order of operations (as was pointed out by Sompm and the math-teach-mommy), the answer is just 3.

but didn't he say "equals tenayeaaarence love!"?? so it's a whole different integer! x+x/x='''Y'''R3! no problems! [[User:Sompm|Sompm]]

:An instance of Lowercase i's. From the solution to a fake math problem. That may well be the best stretch ever.

Ok, we get it; some people don't think math is fun. We don't need those of you in that category to stomp all over our fun. In regards to the different interpretations of the formula, it seems that the most viable one is the one represented VISUALLY in the rap song itself. We don't just have a spoken word, we have a text as well, which should clear up all ambiguity. -TheHat 03:55, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

== warsh ==

I'm not sure if anyone cares, and I'm sure it doesn't belong in the article anywhere, but I thought it might be worth mentioning that in some areas of Eastern Canada, especially [[wikipedia:Prince Edward Island|PEI]], pronouncing the word "wash" as "warsh" is actually part of a regional accent. I used to live in that region, and almost nobody my age ever said it like that, but a lot of us had parents who did. Also common around there is saying "slippy" instead of "slippery", and saying the word "barrel" in such a way that it sort of rhymes with "Carl". - [[User:24.71.223.142|24.71.223.142]] 05:24, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

:Warsh is also a common pronunciation of wash in Kentucky and some areas further south. Unusual that it makes the long leap up to Canada and skips over everything in between. [[User:Maktaka|Maktaka]] 09:39, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
::As interesting as that is, I don't think it has anything to do with Coach Z's pronounciation of the word. He simply pronounces all words like that, and the majority of them do not sound similar to any other accent in any region. (For example, Port = Putt. What?) {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 10:11, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
:::If I recall, Coach Z was originally intended to have a sort of US midlands accent that quickly began to devolve and get weird, until it's really just replacing some sounds with "or" and "ar" sounds. Now it doesn't really resemble any sort of language at all. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 04:55, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
::::My grandma (born and raised in Minnesota) has always said "warsh" .. I'll bet it's a reference to her! Will someone please add this to the article: '''"Wash" being spelled as "warsh" is a reference to [[User:OptimisticFool|OptimisticFool]]'s grandma who has always pronounced it that way."''' By the way, it's not Coach Z's pronunciation we should be talking about here; The Cheat is responsible for the word "warsh" .. not Coach Z. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 05:01, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Wash was also spelled and pronounced as "worsh" in 20X6 vs. 1936. Perhaps it's a referance to that too! Personally, I feel it's a TTAOT. {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 05:13, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

==Anthropomorphic Egg==
When I saw the egg chasing after Peacy P's limo/waffle house, my first thought was that it was supposed to be one of the villains from Data East's [[Wikipedia:Burgertime|Burgertime]], but a quick check of the box art shows that the egg didn't wear a domino mask as portrayed here. Is this a ''Burgertime'' reference despite the cosmetic difference, or is the significance of the egg relevant to something else? [[User: Nekouken|Nekouken]]

I did notice one thing about the '''EGG'''. And that is that the '''EGG''' appears to be holding a gun, and also the '''EGG''' has legs, and an animation (running) that seams almost Identical to that game on H*R where you shoot each other, have the same style leggs as this '''EGG''' and run the same way the '''EGG''' does in this video. I think the game was called "Where's an..." Damn! I forgot the last word of the title... [[User:MJN SEIFER|MJN SEIFER]] 15:04, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

==Nate Dogg==

I believe that Tenerence Love is 'sposed to sound like Nate Dogg. And also "It don't stop" is something that alot of rappers (especially Snoop Dogg) says. [[User:Marvelrulez|Marvelrulez]] 07:02, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

==Fast Food Freestyle==
This supposed RWR ("Peacey P places an order for food much like in the video "Fast Food Freestyle" on Youtube.") needs some discussing, methinks. Pretty funny video, and similar, but sometimes there's an overlap in ideas that TBC may think are original but that have been done before. Is it a reference? {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 15:56, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

...is the abbreviation PCP, which can mean a lot of things ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCP]), but probably Phencyclidine. This would make it another drug reference. --[[User:91.97.14.14|91.97.14.14]] 16:31, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

== Sterrance in background of last section? ==

Take a look at the last section of the rap song when Tenerance Love is flying by on a doughnut. What is that pink thing on the right? It vaguely reminds me of [[Sterrance]] from [[animal]] but it's a bit off. Any ideas? --[[User:Spoom|Spoom]] 04:18, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

== Waffle House ==

Does the explaination of what Waffle House is (Since it's where Peacey orders breakfast, though named differently) seem worth including on the page? Also, can anyone tell what name is scribbled on the top of his order? → [[User:Peacey_P|☮y P]] … ''Y'all biscuitheads!'' 04:46, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

The name looks to be "_est Chef" with the blank being unreadable (to me) but I assume it's "Best Chef". Nothing there, I guess. Interesting though that "Tos" for "Toast" is there, when previously it was "Toz" for "Toes". → [[User:Peacey_P|☮y P]] … ''Y'all biscuitheads!'' 04:53, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

== Noteworthy "pseudo-goofs?" ==

I'm surprised no one's made mention of a few "pseudo-goofs":

* At the words "come to do his landry," Coach Z briefly appears to have two left forearms.

* After Coach Z asks if he can record on new album, Peacey-P's body clearly disconnects from his head.

* Coach Z's left eye briefly pops out of his head at the words "I thought I made that abundantly clear!"

* When singing, Tenerance Love's moustache and goatee occasionally overlap his microphone.

These are obviously not honest goofs, but they stand out as exceptional even considering The Cheat's usual two-years-old-boy style. Worth adding to "Remarks?" [[User:Catgirl|Catgirl]] 05:17, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

:They *have* been mentioned, repeatedly. They just keep getting removed, because we don't point out The Cheat's "goofs". The "feauring" thing is an exception because that appears to be an honest typo. It's correct the other two times, and Teh C doesn't have a history of typoes or misspellings. -{{User:YK/sig}} 05:56, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
::I thought we normally put PbTC "goofs" under Remarks. I know for a fact we've done it before (in [[animal]], for example). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:58, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
:::Granted I just skimmed it, but I didn't see any PbTC "goofs" listed in the Remarks section of [[animal]]. You sure that's the one meant? -{{User:YK/sig}} 06:02, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

:::::I feel that these pseudo-goofs do deserve some merit. I didn't see the first and third pseudo-goofs, and I found them interesting. I feel they should go under the "remarks" section. {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 06:29, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
::::::Agreed, they probably should go *somewhere* in the fun facts, but given the sheer number of them, it seems like they'd just clutter the Remarks section... Perhaps a new subsection for PbTC toons? -{{User:YK/sig}} 06:37, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
:::::::That sounds good. Maybe it could be a subsection of goofs. (Call it PbTC goofs or something). {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 06:48, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
::::::::The notion of making a sub-section for this type of content seems quite warranted, especially if such things keep getting added and deleted.

== "I'm the best guest rapper in the music biz" visual ==

I noticed that visual where Peacey P is rapping in front of his golden record, all but his afro is reflected.
:Another psuedo-goof? (See above). {{User:GuardDuck/sig}} 07:05, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

It's just because his afro is black and the background of the golden record is black. His reflection is underneath the actual record.
:No, his afro is definitely missing. IMO, this one's worth mentioning cause it's not so noticeable and isn't the typical screwed up transformation/alignment that always go with PBTC stuff, but is a distinct oversight (probably intentional). But it'd probably just get deleted again. [[User:65.2.33.109|65.2.33.109]] 06:36, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
::Looks to me like the afro is missing, too. Could be a goof, but my bet is it belongs in the [[Rap Song Visuals]] page. [[User:Nightsong81|Nightsong81]] 21:26, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

==Superfluous explanations==

Do we really need to be told what words are portmanteaus? Is this just another example of people needing so badly to put their name on the article that they add obvious information?
:[[portmanteaus]] are a running gag, and should of course be mentioned. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 21:26, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

== The Stow in Crample-O Stow. ==

Is it just me - or is the "STOW" on "Crample-O Stow" another reference to [[Style]]? Think about it. Crample-O contains "Cramp" and "Stow" sounds exactly like a "ghetto" type mutilation of the word "Style". Crample-O Stow is most likely a mangling of "Cramping of Style" or something similar. Someone else can probably pinpoint the actual phrase that's being obscured better than I can. Heck, the Rap Song even contains "You're crampin' my style!". → [[User:Peacey_P|☮y P]] … ''Y'all biscuitheads!'' 06:06, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
:Actually now I see it on the Style page, though I don't think it's actually "crampin' my style." Oh well. → [[User:Peacey_P|☮y P]] … ''Y'all biscuitheads!'' 06:09, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

== The Cheat's Animation Style ==

Does anyone else think that The Cheat's style of flash animation is becoming more mature with this video? Some of the visuals are really quite well done. Is it worth mentioning?{{User:Bassbone/sig}} 11:52, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
:I don't really see any difference between this and the older cheat stuff... {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 11:53, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

==Ben Cousins's Tattoo==
This RWR was inexplicably removed, so I re-added it but decided to provide a link here on the talk page to make it painfully obvious that this is a reference. First, I found some pictures of the [http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0,21598,22384115-5005401,00.html actual tattoo], and for improved legibility, here's a link to show some [http://search.ebay.com.au/search/search.dll?satitle=Such+is+Life shirts] designed to match his tattoo. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 14:44, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

:Except, isn't that a common style of tattoo, particularly among rappers? I believe "Thug Life" tattoos are in the same place, shape and font. I don't have the cartoon open to compare it to, though. {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 16:00, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
::[[Wikipedia:2Pac|2Pac]]'s [http://www.thugradio.net/thuglifepacsstomache.jpg thug life tattoo] is in the right shape (though the arc is quite a bit shallower), but wrong font, and it uses an image (a bullet) for one of the letters. Granted, people have immitated 2Pac's tat and gotten closer to the font used in this short, but I doubt TBC was going for a "reference to an immitation of the tattoo of somebody famous". Visually, the "RAP SONG" tattoo is a better match to Ben Cousins's tattoo, although it would make more sense for this to be a parody of a rapper tattoo. So maybe it's TTATOT. And hey, I'm anti-tattoo.. so, while I think the wiki should be accurate, it wouldn't break my heart to see this reference go. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 16:36, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

==Three Times One Minus One==
Does anybody else think that the RWR implying this mess refers "to David Cross and Bob Odenkirk's spoof R&B duo 'Three Times One Minus One'" is TTATOT? [[User:Nightsong81|Nightsong81]] 08:21, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*The format of the single is known as a [[Wikipedia:Split album|split single]] with two different bands on one release. Split singles where two bands cover each other's songs are often done by indie labels to promote the label and the two bands, thus the page title.

===Trivia===
*The [[Audio Quality|sound quality]] of the toon has been upped considerably, resulting in clearer sound than other cartoons, similar to [[Homestar Presents: Presents]] and [[An Important Rap Song]].
*This is the first time the original ''Because, It's Midnite'' has been made publicly accessible. Previously it had only been available through [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Four]] and [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]].
**It is also the first permanent publicly accessible version of the original We Don't Even Really Care About You, having previously been a [[Quote of the Week]].
*The Easter egg is not only the first Limozeen: "but they're in space!" toon that was featured outside of [[Strong Bad Email]], it is also the first not to feature the "comic relief", [[Mary Palaroncini]].

===Remarks===
*The space background used in the space chase scene in the Easter egg has a noticeable seam.
*In the Limozeen cover, the lead vocals are trilled in some parts, resulting in a rolled R sound even when there are no Rs.
*The sloshy cover is shorter than the original.
*As mentioned in [[concert]], one of the members of Sloshy has his back to the camera throughout the Easter egg.
*Counting all four songs together, this is the longest [[Toons#Shorts|Short]] by nearly two minutes.

===Inside References===
*The album is produced under the label "[[Cheap as Free]] Music".
*The boot on the cover of the album is a Hollywood Boulevard, previously worn by Strong Bad in [[concert]].
*The Easter egg references [[smoking]].

===Real World References===

*The shoe on the right foot on the album cover appears to be a [[wikipedia: Converse|Converse]].

===sloshy's cover of "Because, It's Midnite"===
Walkin' the streets, I got a feelin', 
It's leather tough, you betta believe it. 
Wakin' up late, asleep in the gutter.

Cut me some...

And the wings of a bat, why? 
(Because, it's midnite.) 
I got the heart-heart of a lion,

Sweet city sweat, vampire love, 
Crimson flows down from the wings of a dove. 
Oh, floatin' over the pavement, a guitar takes flight. 
I'm wearin' really tight pants! Because it's midnite.

(I got the) Heart-heart of a lion, 
And the wings of a bat, why? 
(Because, it's midnite.) 
I got the heart-heart of a lion, 
And the wings of a bat, why? 
All right, we're done here.

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Gary... I hope this email's from Gary... ''{The email comes up}'' Hah! Aw...

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: slumber parties</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
I attended a slumber party and there was nothing but a 
lame game of Uno. I ask you, what types of slumber 
parties should one attend or ignore? 
Sincerely, 
Thomas O. from NY
</blockquote>
''{Strong Bad reads NY as en-why}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So it was just you and Uno? Like, no other people or sleeping bags or R-rated movies? Uh, you probably shoulda skipped that one. Family card games are notorious for hosting the worst slumber parties.

''{Cut to Strong Bad sitting at a table with his eyes half closed. There is a deck of cards sitting across from him on the table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{flatly}'' Thanks for inviting me, Skip-Bo.

''{Cut back to the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{clears screen}'' But let's say you get invited to a slumber party by a carbon based lifeform. The first thing you wanna look at is the popularity of the host.

''{Cut to a blackboard with "COOLGUY's LAW:" and a face wearing a mortar board drawn on it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' According to Coolguy's Law, the popularity of the host is inversely proportional to the amount of fun you can have at their house.

''{As he speaks, the formula appears on the blackboard. Cut back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You got nothing to lose! You can tear that place apart and dislocate all the younger siblings' shoulders you want. It's not like you're ever going back there again.

''{Cut to Homestar Runner's bedroom. Homestar and Strong Bad are there, and there are sledgehammers embedded in the walls. Strong Bad is holding a sledgehammer.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What did you say the name of this family card game was again, Strong Bad?

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is called Find The Load-Bearer. You never played this before?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No. Find The Load-Bearer, Bed Axe, ''{Cut to Homestar's bed, which has two axes embedded in it}'' I never heard of any of these games we played.

''{Strong Bad throws another axe into the bed. Cut back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Unpopular kids' dads definitely still play video games, so try and locate—

''{Cut to Strong Bad reaching into Homestar's dresser and pulling out some games}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —his stash of Rated M for Mature titles.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Jackpot! ''{Holds up a game with a skull in a bloodstain on the cover}'' Blood Bleeder, ''{Holds up a game with the disembodied heads of two men and a dog on the cover}'' Head Chopper 2, ''{Holds up a game with a laser shooting at some disembodied scabs on the cover}'' Scab Wars, ''{Holds up a game with a blistered hand and a ghost holding a chainsaw on the cover}'' Blistergeist? Most of these things have been taken off the market!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. Those are off-limits. We're only allowed to play Clapping Party.

''{Homestar plays Clapping Party, which consists of two hands against a blue background. They clap three times, and the words "ROUND CLEAR" appear against a red background with confetti. Several hands rapidly appear at the bottom of the screen. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The next thing to consider when going to a slumber party is the menu.

''{Cut to a blue screen with the words "TYPICAL SLUMBER PARTY FARE" at the top and a boy's head at the bottom. As Strong Bad talks, the things he describes appear, and the boy gets fatter}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Typical slumber party fare includes things like, six-foot party sub, an exorbitant amount of pizza, and at least enough Skittles and red cream soda to make your spit hurt.

''{The boy sticks out his tongue, which is bumpy and rainbow colored. A rainbow drool-drop forms. Cut to a table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But if you get over there, ''{Strong Bad falls from the sky}'' and they're, like, having a meal at a table, and they're serving, like...

''{A chicken leg in a pan moves towards Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{uncertain voice}'' Chicken... in a pan? ''{A plate moves towards Strong Bad and salad appears on it}'' With some... salad... ''{A glass of milk pours from the top of the screen}'' and a... glass of milk? To drink?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You better start running! ''{Strong Bad runs}'' Because that family must have some serious health problems.

''{Cut back to the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But if you're looking for a guaranteed good time, you need to get invited to an OLDER KID'S slumber party. Anything goes at those things!

''{Cut to Coach Z's locker room. Pan from Bubs to Coach Z to the King of Town}''

'''BUBS:''' My cousin Louis, he's dead. My cousin Harold, he's dead.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{Overlapping}'' And my back still hurts. And my knees still hurt.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{Overlapping}'' Government ain't right! Government ain't right!

''{Cut back to Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' So my escrow carried over into my lumbago, but then my sciatica started acting up.

''{Cut to a wider shot. Strong Bad, with his eyes half closed, is on the left with a sleeping bag on the ground}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, can you guys start using some words that were invented ''after'' the year nineteen-oh-zero?

''{Cut to the King of Town}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Come now, young whipper-snapper. My fellows and I were just about to start playing at games of chance. ''{Holds up some dice and shakes them}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad, with his eyes completely open}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lemme guess. That ''doesn't'' include Bed Axe. ''{Holds up an axe}''

''{Cut back to the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Uh, you might wanna put a cap on what you define as "older kids." Other than that, you can always look forward to endlessly ridiculing the kid that got picked up early 'cause he misses his mom. Strong Sad used to do that when we'd have slumber parties in our own basement!

''{Cut to a wide shot. Strong Sad is standing nearby with his arm in a sling}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' That only happened once!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{nodding}'' Uh-huh...

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{reluctantly}'' A week...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Keep going.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{very reluctantly}'' For ten years...

'''STRONG BAD:''' There you go!

''{He turns back to the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, and one more thing: If your jim-jams happen to be a, oh, I dunno, long V-neck undershirt with a pair of questionable tighty-whities underneath, maybe don't wear those to the slumber party. Don't ask me how I know this. Please, PLEASE, ''{hangs head}'' DON'T ASK ME HOW I KNOW THIS.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen, mocking voice}'' How do you know that?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that's it! Allow me to relieve you of that located shoulder! Yah!

''{Strong Bad jumps off his chair and offscreen. Strong Sad yells. [[New Paper]] comes down.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on "questionable" at the end to play [[Clapping Party]]. If you play the game twice, it unlocks "Blistergeist" mode, which involves a ghost in a hockey mask attacking the hands with a chainsaw, causing blisters to appear on them.
*Click on "slumber party" at the end to watch Homestar's Slumber Party dance.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Party! Slumber party! Listen to some Sade at my slumber party!

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*According to Coolguy's law, the more popular the host of the slumber party, the less fun you will have at their house.
*"Rated M for Mature" refers to the [[Wikipedia:ESRB|ESRB]] rating system, which uses letters to indicate what age group a video game is best suited for. M is the second highest rating, and is recommended for players seventeen and older.

===Trivia===
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#heart of china|heart of china]]".

===Remarks===
*The formula for Coolguy's Law does not match the theorem, in that it is a statement of equality, not proportionality. For the popularity of the host to be inversely proportional to the amount of fun you can have at their house, the right-hand side of the equation should be multiplied by some unspecified constant "k".
*When Strong Bad says, "find the [[wikipedia:Structural load|load bearer]]," he is referring to a [[wikipedia:Wall stud|stud]], although in a typical wood-framed house, most vertical studs bear an equal load.
*The pixels in the hands during Clapping Party are tilted.
*In Clapping Party, you can only clap once every few seconds.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Disconnected.png|100px|thumb|Disconnected legs.]]
*When Homestar is dancing in the Easter egg, his legs are occasionally disconnected.
*When Strong Bad says Gary a second time, his reflection moves more than his head when he says the "G" in gary.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad, the inventor of "Coolguy's law," is referred to as Prof. Tor Coolguy in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]].
*The pizza boxes are from [[The Pizz]] introduced in [[pizza joint]], only now labeled "Slumber Party [[Style]]" instead of "Neighborhood Style".
**[[:Image:headlessdance.gif|Homestar's dance]] from his Easter egg is also based on an Easter egg seen in pizza joint.
*When Strong Bad is looking in the closet for M-rated games, we can see some [[Sega tapes]], reading "Throat Rip" and "Saliva Quest".
*Some of the games have [[blood]].
*This email mentions [[underwear]].
*Blistergeist is a [[portmanteau]] of "blister" and "[[Wikipedia:Poltergeist|poltergeist]]".
*R-rated movies were previously mentioned in conjunction with a sleepover in [[the bet]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Uno (game)|Uno]] and [[Wikipedia:SKIP-BO|SKIP-BO]] are card games owned by [[Wikipedia:Mattel|Mattel]].
*[[Wikipedia:Skittles (confectionery)|Skittles]] are a small, fruit-flavored candy produced by [[Wikipedia:Mars, Inc.|Mars, Inc.]]
** A recent Skittles ad was "Taste The Rainbow," duly noted here by the rainbow tongue on the fat kid.
*The T-shirt Homestar is wearing during the Easter egg is identical to the one Michael Jackson wears in the "Beat It" video. This shirt was also seen in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].
*Blistergeist is a parody of [[Wikipedia:Splatterhouse|Splatterhouse]], the most notable reference being the goalie mask.

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Gary... I hope this email's from Gary... ''{The email comes up}'' Hah! Aw...

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: slumber parties</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
I attended a slumber party and there was nothing but a 
lame game of Uno. I ask you, what types of slumber 
parties should one attend or ignore? 
Sincerely, 
Thomas O. from NY
</blockquote>
''{Strong Bad reads NY as en-why}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So it was just you and Uno? Like, no other people or sleeping bags or R-rated movies? Uh, you probably shoulda skipped that one. Family card games are notorious for hosting the worst slumber parties.

''{Cut to Strong Bad sitting at a table with his eyes half closed. There is a deck of cards sitting across from him on the table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{flatly}'' Thanks for inviting me, Skip-Bo.

''{Cut back to the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{clears screen}'' But let's say you get invited to a slumber party by a carbon based lifeform. The first thing you wanna look at is the popularity of the host.

''{Cut to a blackboard with "COOLGUY's LAW:" and a face wearing a mortar board drawn on it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' According to Coolguy's Law, the popularity of the host is inversely proportional to the amount of fun you can have at their house.

''{As he speaks, the formula appears on the blackboard. Cut back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' You got nothing to lose! You can tear that place apart and dislocate all the younger siblings' shoulders you want. It's not like you're ever going back there again.

''{Cut to Homestar Runner's bedroom. Homestar and Strong Bad are there, and there are sledgehammers embedded in the walls. Strong Bad is holding a sledgehammer.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' What did you say the name of this family card game was again, Strong Bad?

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is called Find The Load-Bearer. You never played this before?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No. Find The Load-Bearer, Bed Axe, ''{Cut to Homestar's bed, which has two axes embedded in it}'' I never heard of any of these games we played.

''{Strong Bad throws another axe into the bed. Cut back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Unpopular kids' dads definitely still play video games, so try and locate—

''{Cut to Strong Bad reaching into Homestar's dresser and pulling out some games}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —his stash of Rated M for Mature titles.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa! Jackpot! ''{Holds up a game with a skull in a bloodstain on the cover}'' Blood Bleeder, ''{Holds up a game with the disembodied heads of two men and a dog on the cover}'' Head Chopper 2, ''{Holds up a game with a laser shooting at some disembodied scabs on the cover}'' Scab Wars, ''{Holds up a game with a blistered hand and a ghost holding a chainsaw on the cover}'' Blistergeist? Most of these things have been taken off the market!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. Those are off-limits. We're only allowed to play Clapping Party.

''{Homestar plays Clapping Party, which consists of two hands against a blue background. They clap three times, and the words "ROUND CLEAR" appear against a red background with confetti. Several hands rapidly appear at the bottom of the screen. Cut back to the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The next thing to consider when going to a slumber party is the menu.

''{Cut to a blue screen with the words "TYPICAL SLUMBER PARTY FARE" at the top and a boy's head at the bottom. As Strong Bad talks, the things he describes appear, and the boy gets fatter}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Typical slumber party fare includes things like, six-foot party sub, an exorbitant amount of pizza, and at least enough Skittles and red cream soda to make your spit hurt.

''{The boy sticks out his tongue, which is bumpy and rainbow colored. A rainbow drool-drop forms. Cut to a table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But if you get over there, ''{Strong Bad falls from the sky}'' and they're, like, having a meal at a table, and they're serving, like...

''{A chicken leg in a pan moves towards Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{uncertain voice}'' Chicken... in a pan? ''{A plate moves towards Strong Bad and salad appears on it}'' With some... salad... ''{A glass of milk pours from the top of the screen}'' and a... glass of milk? To drink?

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' You better start running! ''{Strong Bad runs}'' Because that family must have some serious health problems.

''{Cut back to the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But if you're looking for a guaranteed good time, you need to get invited to an OLDER KID'S slumber party. Anything goes at those things!

''{Cut to Coach Z's locker room. Pan from Bubs to Coach Z to the King of Town}''

'''BUBS:''' My cousin Louis, he's dead. My cousin Harold, he's dead.

'''COACH Z:''' ''{Overlapping}'' And my back still hurts. And my knees still hurt.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{Overlapping}'' Government ain't right! Government ain't right!

''{Cut back to Bubs}''

'''BUBS:''' So my escrow carried over into my lumbago, but then my sciatica started acting up.

''{Cut to a wider shot. Strong Bad, with his eyes half closed, is on the left with a sleeping bag on the ground}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, can you guys start using some words that were invented ''after'' the year nineteen-oh-zero?

''{Cut to the King of Town}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Come now, young whipper-snapper. My fellows and I were just about to start playing at games of chance. ''{Holds up some dice and shakes them}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad, with his eyes completely open}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lemme guess. That ''doesn't'' include Bed Axe. ''{Holds up an axe}''

''{Cut back to the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Uh, you might wanna put a cap on what you define as "older kids." Other than that, you can always look forward to endlessly ridiculing the kid that got picked up early 'cause he misses his mom. Strong Sad used to do that when we'd have slumber parties in our own basement!

''{Cut to a wide shot. Strong Sad is standing nearby with his arm in a sling}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' That only happened once!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{nodding}'' Uh-huh...

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{reluctantly}'' A week...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Keep going.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{very reluctantly}'' For ten years...

'''STRONG BAD:''' There you go!

''{He turns back to the computer}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, and one more thing: If your jim-jams happen to be a, oh, I dunno, long V-neck undershirt with a pair of questionable tighty-whities underneath, maybe don't wear those to the slumber party. Don't ask me how I know this. Please, PLEASE, ''{hangs head}'' DON'T ASK ME HOW I KNOW THIS.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{offscreen, mocking voice}'' How do you know that?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that's it! Allow me to relieve you of that located shoulder! Yah!

''{Strong Bad jumps off his chair and offscreen. Strong Sad yells. [[New Paper]] comes down.}''

==Easter Eggs==
*Click on "questionable" at the end to play [[Clapping Party]]. If you play the game twice, it unlocks "Blistergeist" mode, which involves a ghost in a hockey mask attacking the hands with a chainsaw, causing blisters to appear on them.
*Click on "slumber party" at the end to watch Homestar's Slumber Party dance.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Party! Slumber party! Listen to some Sade at my slumber party!

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*According to Coolguy's law, the more popular the host of the slumber party, the less fun you will have at their house.
*"Rated M for Mature" refers to the [[Wikipedia:ESRB|ESRB]] rating system, which uses letters to indicate what age group a video game is best suited for. M is the second highest rating, and is recommended for players seventeen and older.

===Trivia===
*The [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#heart of china|heart of china]]".

===Remarks===
*The formula for Coolguy's Law does not match the theorem, in that it is a statement of equality, not proportionality. For the popularity of the host to be inversely proportional to the amount of fun you can have at their house, the right-hand side of the equation should be multiplied by some unspecified constant "k".
*When Strong Bad says, "find the [[wikipedia:Structural load|load bearer]]," he is referring to a [[wikipedia:Wall stud|stud]], although in a typical wood-framed house, most vertical studs bear an equal load.
*The pixels in the hands during Clapping Party are tilted.
*In Clapping Party, you can only clap once every few seconds.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Disconnected.png|100px|thumb|Disconnected legs.]]
*When Homestar is dancing in the Easter egg, his legs are occasionally disconnected.
*When Strong Bad says Gary a second time, his reflection moves more than his head when he says the "G" in gary.

*The pizza boxes are from [[The Pizz]] introduced in [[pizza joint]], only now labeled "Slumber Party [[Style]]" instead of "Neighborhood Style".

***Homestar is again wearing his ''Beat It'' themed t-shirt from [[Homestar Presents: Presents]] in the easter egg.
*When Strong Bad is looking in the closet for M-rated games, we can see some [[Sega tapes]], reading "Throat Rip" and "Saliva Quest".
*Some of the games have [[blood]].
*This email mentions [[underwear]].
*Blistergeist is a [[portmanteau]] of "blister" and "[[Wikipedia:Poltergeist|poltergeist]]".
