DumbMuscle: /* Inside reference? */

== With His Pairs? ==

can anybody tell what strong bad is saying during the first line of his email song? i wrote "pans" in the transcript, but not only does that make absolutely no sense, but i think i can hear an "r" in there. suggestions? --[[User:Neumannz|Zatchman (Neumannz)]] 16:51, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
:I'm pretty sure it's "With this pants", not only because that's definitely what I hear, but it's also a [[pants|running gag]]. --[[Image:qod_22_-_reynold.PNG|20px]] [[User:Lelila|lelila]] [[User_talk:Lelila|(talk)]] 17:03, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

== Homeschool ==

I'm pretty sure I saw Homeschool Winner's skull on the drawing Strong Bad made of what could lie a few feet beneath Strong Badia. Is this notable? [[User:AlmsforthePudgy|AlmsforthePudgy]] 17:10, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

== Nickelodeon game-show reference? ==

I remember watching game shows on Nickelodeon when I was a kid, and metal detectors were often awarded as prizes on one of them. Does anyone else remember this? And more importantly, does anyone else remember what show? (I'm thinking [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Dare_%281986_game_show%29 Double Dare]. Or was it more than one show that did this?)

There's a "Real World Reference" in this somewhere, I just can't quite pin it down. Anyone?
--[[User:Bobsmith84|Bobsmith84]] 19:21, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

:Well, after some googling, best I could come up with was [http://www.dragons-lair-project.com/community/related/starcade/ Starcade], which I've never personally heard of, but it sounds right up TBC's alley.

== Homeschool Winner ==
The conclusions we're drawing about Homeschool winner, and how it's a reference to that Sample of style toon seems like a stretch to me. I'm not convinced it's even supposed to be him.
On a related note, I see that death was already linked. My mistake. I'm sure it'll get resolved though. -[[User:DAGRON|DAGRON]] 19:27, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
:Ok, maybe the reference to Sample of Style I made was a little stretchy. Buy I '''do''' think this is Homeschool. Just look at that overbite and elongated skull. It's unmistakable. So I just drew the conclusion that "dead + Homeschool = Sample of Style". I could be wrong, this is up for debate, but there is no way that this is not Homeschool Winner. {{User:E.L.

== Deja Vu Music? ==
I could swear that the background music heard during the Taranchula metal-detector consolation-prize cutaway is from another Homestar toon. Can anyone put a name on it so we can use it as an inside reference? 20:35, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Does this really count as an inside reference?

== Song lyrics ==

Since this is a song, I think the transcript should show the lyrics in lyric style, like they've been done on other pages. How is that done, exactly? And how do we handle the visuals separately from the lyrics? (Or do we?) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 23:38, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

:Hmm... I'd say do the lyrics like:

Poo-ha ha ha ha

Poo ha ha ha ha ha ha

Or however it goes, and then

Poo-ha ha ha ha

''{Cut to Bluebry's house}''

Poo ha ha ha ha ha ha

You know, something like that maybe. But, there's probably some standard I'm overlooking. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 23:40, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
: For most songs, we write them like this:

Well you're a rich kid, living in the suburbs 
and there's not a whole lot to do. 
You're strolling to the kitchen and what do you find? 
A bunch of knives cold staring at you.

: And the visuals are separate. That's really how this one should have been transcribed. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:05, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I think this is worth a mention, in that it's the first time a musician-type guy has been animated (outside of TGS). All the other guys have been live-action: Limozeen, Tarantula... I will admit that Limozeen was animated in [[best thing]], but that was the point and the "real" Limozeen was still live action. I'm pretty sure that Crack is the first in this category to have his "real" version animated. - [[User:Point7Q|Point7Q]] 01:02, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

:::The animation on Crack Stuntman isn't really much more realistic than Limozeen-in-space... the only remotely 3D part of Crack's animation was him nodding his head in the "LOUD BASS" bit, and that was done with the same techniques they've done for years to make Strong Bad's head turn from side to side... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 12:09, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

::Not that this is likely to settle anything, but it may be notable for the discussion that Crack Stuntman is animated in the Cheat Commandos style- fixed thickness lines, grainy bitmap backgrounds, etc. So it's almost certain that Crack was intended to be a cartoon (assuming that Cheat Commandos is a cartoon in the HR universe) rather than a "real" person like the central Homestar crew. --[[User:Fiasco|Fiasco]] 17:26, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I noticed something. If the "Poo-ha-he-ha-he" is supposed to be Crack Stuntman laughing to the word "Poo", then wouldn't that be the first mention of the word "Poo" (aside from the Poopsmith)? All I remember is everyone either saying "Crap" or "Whatzit". [[User:Spyrox6|Spyrox6]] 01:04, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
:"Poo-ha-hoo-ha-hoo" (or whatever) is just him imitating the sound of drums, not laughing at the word poo.--{{User:NevaDie/sig}} 04:17, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

== Cheap Commandos? ==

When Crack is introducing himself, it also sounds like he says "Cheap" (Or Chief) Commandos.
Yes/No/Maybe? --[[User:Jrgilby|Jrgilby]] 02:47, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

==Email Styles==
I really think the line "Kidz don't play wit' 2 many knives, c'mon, c'mon" sounds almost identical to Strong Bad's "Can you see that I've got e-mail styles, c'mon, c'mon" from [[senior prom]]. Somebody agree with me on this one!--{{User:NevaDie/sig}} 04:21, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

==King of the Hill==

Crack Stuntman resembles the characters from King of the Hill. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 16:02, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Both King of the Hill and Crack Stuntman are drawn in "realistic style" with black lines and no shading, but that's the only thing they share. Also, there's no thematic reason why TBC would make a King of the Hill reference in a kid's public service announcement parody. Not a reference. [[User:71.231.56.40|71.231.56.40]] 19:27, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

== Not exactly a politician ==

Rather than get into revision war, I figured I'd just take this straight here. One Fun Fact caught my attention on this article:

*This toon is a parody of various [[Wikipedia:Public service announcement|public service announcements]] in which prominent media figures (celebrities, politicians, etc.) attempt to give advice to children in the form of catchy songs, rap, etc. Common examples include campaigns against smoking and drug use.

If anything I'd say that this is ''much'' more along the lines of the public service announcements at the end of Saturday morning cartoon shows (such as G.I. Joe and Captain Planet) than political announcements. I think the fact is terribly misleading as it stands now. [[User:0rion|0rion]] 20:02, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
:I agree, because it showed the very end of a Cheat Commandos episode, followed by the rap. Come to think of it, it did kinda remind me of those Captain Planet-type announcements.--{{User:NevaDie/sig}} 20:49, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
::I agree with the Saturday Morning Cartoon fact. --{{User:TotalSpaceshipGuy3/sig}} 21:17, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
:::Ditto. The cartoon fact. --{{User:Theyellowdart/sig}} 21:18, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
::::I think that makes sense too: how does this version sound? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:48, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
<blockquote>This toon is a parody of various [[Wikipedia:Public service announcement|public service announcements]] at the end of cartoon shows (such as ''[[Wikipedia:G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (TV series)|G.I. Joe]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Captain Planet and the Planeteers|Captain Planet]]'') that attempt to give advice to children in the form of catchy songs, rap, etc. Common examples include campaigns against smoking and drug use.</blockquote>

I don't think that in this case it is specifically one or the other. I certainly don't remember captain planet or G.I. Joe rapping or singing. I seem to remember Paula Abdul singing. I don't remember any rapping about safety on TV in general. Rather, this seems to be a mismash of Public Service Announcements, After School Specials, end of show safety announcements, and even In-Class learning tools. I can't think of a particularly short way of summarizing this, but I think it does the toon injustice to refer to it as a direct parody of any of these.

== 2:03 ==

I think that when Strong Bad mentions that the zombies will come at 2:03 it is a reference to Strong Sad's Lament when he says that Tuesdays at 2:03 is his favorite time.
:- It's possible, but it's a bit of a stretch. Especially since March 31, 2047 falls on a Saturday. --[[User:Lukeonia1|Lukeonia1]] 07:03, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

== Homestar and Marzipan ==

I'm not sure if it belongs on the wiki, but is it possible that Homestar and Marzipan live with each other? The front of Marzipan's house looks the same, and Homestar's broken Cow lamp may be a different room besides the front. should this be on their relationship page?

:I don't think so. Marzipan's house is blue, as seen in 2003 Halloween toon [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]] and Homestar is trick or treating at this house. Though Homestar is kinda funny and doesn't think somethings through most of the time, I don't think he would trick or treat at his own home. Homestar's house is gray as seen in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]]. However it could be that this ''is'' the same house and is only colored based on the season (blue because it's night and grey because of the cold snow). [[User:MisteR t|mister t]] 16:55, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

::If you look on the pages for [[Homestar's House]] and [[Marzipan's House]], the interior rooms look different, meaning they can't live together.

:::Huh. Maybe that was just Homestar being Homestar and confirming things he doesn't even know about. Kind of like the whole "It's time for tasteball!", "Oh, crap. Tasteball already." bit. 18:59, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

:This scene is Strong Bad's future speculation (after all, he's dead at this point). It's possible that Homestar and Marzipan could be cohabitating at this future time, no? --[[User:Bigscarymike|BigScaryMike]] 04:39, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

My point is that it would be unthinkable, or at least improbable, that a zombie would speak coherently and recognize people, as Strong Bad does when he breaks out of the jar. I was merely pointing out that easter egg SB seems more zombie-esque (by merit of being less human-esque) than he does in the e-mail itself. It also seems likely that he's just pretending to be a zombie, as this is hinted at in the end of the e-mail. So, in my opinion, he's not really a zombie in either scenario.

:I did not mean to be rude, I'm very sorry I came across that way. But this is not close to what a break in the theatrical 4th wall means. A "fourth wall" break is when the actors acknowledge that they are actors. It was to be somewhat jarring, like out of nowhere Strong Sad looks into the camera and says "Hello!". That is breaking 4th wall. It's toyed with a lot and the lines are blurred here. Which makes it a little difficult to say what and what.

Perhaps by « Chaup » they were trying to make "Chap" sound more French? Thus, the image was created by the Chaps for a fan? Chaup could be a French word, I'm not certain (I'm only in fifth-year French), but it's not one I've ever heard, nor can I find it in my dictionary. Oh, and by the way, the pronunciation (following the IPA standards) would probably be something like: ʃop o fɑ̃ [[User:pensivepoet.babblingbard|pensivepoet.babblingbard]]

== Same? ==

Is Strong Sad really saying the same thing that his Bibendum advert has written out? It sounds more like he's saying chapon fond, chape en front, chape en fan, or even chapeau fort, more than Chaup au fan. Unless he just has horrible French pronunciation. [[User:pensivepoet.babblingbard|pensivepoet.babblingbard]]

:There's no copy in that ad which would be reasonably mispronounced by a moderately-educated person as "Chap au fan" - and this is TBC we're talking about. This is clearly something but what? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:22, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

:Just a wild shot in the dark, but we are talking about the Chap brothers' website, right?

:I'm pretty sure he is indeed saying the same thing as the text in the ad, but there might be an off chance it's "something enfant". Perhaps "Chaps enfant" meaning that Strong Bad is a (brain)child of the Brothers Chaps. It's a bit of a stretch, and I think in proper French the "s" at the end of "Chaps" would be pronounced at the beginning of "enfant" anyway. Just a thought. - {{User:ReverendTed/sig}} 04:50, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

:Strong Sad's pronuciation in French is, whenever he's done it before, quite good. It would be out of character if he were screwing this up. Any dancers out there? I really would like to know what Monsieur Sad is referring to. {{User:Bryanc/sig}} 15:32, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

:I'm a ballroom dancer. I think what Strong Sad is saying is "chassé font" (pronounced more or less like what Strong Sad said, like "schahs auh faunt") which is a move we use in ballroom to mean a long step forward, followed by sliding the other foot to neutral position again. In other words, extend the first (usually right) leg like a lady's lunge in tango, then slide the other foot back, the foot ending sideways. Does that make sense? The only problem I see is that isn't really a flashy move, so why would SS want to show it off? [[User:Coveredinharmony|Coveredinharmony]]

(I can't believe that they actually made a wiki article about it, but yeah, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi_Honey%2C_I%27m_Home "Hi Honey I'm Home."] People have explained the cliche as that it was a followup from the mentality of radio. On a radio show, a character can't just open a door and begin the conversation, because the audience can't see it. They have to open the door and say "hello, I'm home," often with the other characters saying "Why, look, it's XXX." --XXX

== Suplexing the Couger ==

The Odd thing about that is that I know of no suplex in which the head is downward facing.

All Suplexes I know, involve the heads of both te suplexer and the suplxee to be near to each other when the move is being done.

What stuffed-Strong Bad looks like he's doing is either a piledriver or perhaps a Powerbomb.--[[User:Saxonjf|Saxon the Deutschmaster]] 01:11, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

: Take it from a long-time wrestling fan: what he's doing is indeed a suplex. German suplexes are done differently (with the head right-side up), but that's not what he's doing. Here's how it's done: with the person standing in front of you and facing you, bend them over and put their head under your arm. Grab the waist of their pants with the other arm and lift the person up over your head (they'll be upside down), then pretty much just fall back, making sure to cause as much impact between the other person's back and the ground as possible. This is what stuffed Strong Bad appears to be doing in his pose -- just starting to fall backwards. It's okay if the opponent's head is down by your side instead of by your own head; it's still a suplex. His back will just hit more on your shoulder than the ground. (Sorry if I didn't use proper terminology in this explanation.) -- [[User:ChurchPunk|ChurchPunk]] 06:42, 16 March 2007 (EST)

== Wrong note in Chopin... ==

While Strong Bad has never been renowned for singing in tune, I transcribed his singing into these notes:

C---C---C-C---Eb---D-D---C-C---A-C

Well, I wouldn't expect the Brothers Chaps to know the exact key of the original march, but the notes from the main theme were originally: [http://www.imslp.org/index.php?title=Sonata_No.2_%28Chopin%2C_Frederic%29]

Bb---Bb---Bb-Bb---Db---C-C---Bb-Bb---Bb-Bb

As you can see, the second last interval is changed from a unison (tonic to tonic) to a minor third (submediant to tonic). I suppose it's forgivable, considering that a lot of the cartoon and pop culture references to Chopin's funeral march actually change the second last note to a leading tone (the note right below the tonic), but Strong Bad skips yet another tone down. Anyway, that's my music rant for the day.

Anyway, bloody is only a swear if it's used as an adjective, and isn't used to mean "covered in blood". The way Strong Bad used it was fine. And please sign your posts. You use four of these things: ~. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 02:14, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

== Part Numbers ==

The second and third numbers have already been identified, but it was the first one that really stuck out to me. I found myself saying the last numbers in the series before I even read them: "zxj481-78b." I just wish I could recall where it came from! Could it be related to networking like the other two?

==Pheromone==
I'm tempted to add back in the note that they're used to communicate with their own species. That is their natural purpose. Other animals (or plants) can sense them sometimes, but that's more an adaptation for predatory or defense purposes, the actual purpose of a pheromone is normally to communicate with one's own species. - [[User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C|Ilko Skevüld's Teh C]] 15:10, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
:I agree, based on my limited knowledge of them. By itself, the term implies species specific interaction — when used otherwise biologists explicitly qualify them as ''heterospecific pheromones'' or less commonly ''exopheromones''. {{User:Bryanc/sig}} 16:08, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

== Stonk? ==

Okay, not just one but two separate users have attempted to add separate "Facts" (both of them very suspect) relating to the word "Stonk" now. To ''this'' page, not to [[the chair]]. Um... is there something I'm missing, or have people just suddenly grown clueless? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:47, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

==Xmas==

The X in Xmas was used to represent the Holy Cross of Jesus Christ since the letter X is a cross itself. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 22:45, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
:No, its actually a capital [[Wikipedia:Chi_(letter)|chi]] (a Greek letter) which has been used as an abbreviation for Christ (such as the C in the [[Wikipedia:Ichthys|ICHTHYS]] (fish symbol) which is the initials of the phrase "Jesus Christ, God's Son, Savior" in Greek). The chi just happens to look the same as a Roman (i.e. the letters used in English) X. Which is also the roman numeral for 10 (decem) hence the Xberween - [[User:DumbMuscle|DumbMuscle]] 23:16, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

==Nobots==

I remember many "nobots", such as a Santa cactus singing Feliz Navidad, and simply a Santa Claus saying "Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas!" or "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!" [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 22:49, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Start your day, the sbemail way! And never get out of bed!

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: stupidest</div>
Hey Strong Bad 
I was wondering what was the stupidest thing that Homestar ever did, said, or imagined??? 
ur biggest fan 
Spanky elgrondo N.Y.
</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "Hey Strong Bad," in a bored tone and continues to read the rest of the email the same way. He draws out "ur" before biggest fan and pronounces "N.Y." as "Nuevo York."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Well, my good Spank, that is ''way'' too broad a subject and would take several days just to scratch the surface of the tip of that iceberg. Especially the imagined part. That one has its own spreadsheet even. No, we'll have to get much more specific if we're gonna cover any stupid Homestar ground in one email. So it's time you people learned all about ''{cut to a scene with a U.S. Capitol-like building with the dome shaped like Homestar's head, and a banner}'' The Four Branches of Stupid Things Homestar's Done.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{as the top of the building}'' Ooo. I'm a ''neglected'' official.

'''STRONG BAD:''' The first branch is in charge of keeping the public informed. ''{a dotted line is traced to a television set with Homestar's head on the screen. A caption appears under it that reads "The House of Doing Stupid Things on National Television"}'' It's the House of Doing Stupid Things on National Television!

''{Cut to Homestar Runner on the set of [[The Show]].}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now isn't that a tasty makeover, lady friends? ''{crowd full of ladies cheers. Cut twice to closeups of Homestar.}'' Huh? Huh?! From Drab to Fab with nothing but mustaaard! ''{Pictures of the King of Town appear on the left and right of the screen. The one on the right has him doused with mustard. Homestar holds up a mustard container with the word 'Musty!' on it. Crowd cheers. The pictures disappear.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Now my next guest says her man doesn't give respect when she calls collect. But he thinks she's just a drama mama. ''{cut to a shot of Marzipan looking very angry, with the words "Alleged Drama Mama" at the bottom of the screen}'' So let's bring him out!

''{The crowd boos. Homestar turns towards a curtain, then a spotlight appears on Homestar and his clothes and appearance change instantly; his propeller cap is back-to-front, stubble, a goatee and bags have appeared on his face and his shirt features a green hand and the words "DENIED! Panama City Beach".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sulkily}'' Yeah, whatever, you know you all want some.

''{Someone throws a chair at Homestar and knocks him down. The crowd cheers gleefully.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's right. Homestar secretly had ''himself'' on his own "You're a Bad Boyfriend" talk show.

''{Cut back to the list of "Stupid Things Homestar's Done." A dotted line is traced to a coffee mug with Homestar's face on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The next branch tracks the stupid things Homestar does on the job. Here comes The Bureau of Doing Stupid Things at the Office.

''{Cut to the Office with Strong Bad in his cubicle with a headset on, occasionally typing on his computer. Phones are ringing in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{talking into headset; looking bored}'' No ma'am, this would be a password you gave to us. Yes sir, it could be the last four digits of your dog, or your mother's maiden credit card number...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Hey, Strong Bro, keg party at the water cooler!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{turns his head offscreen towards Homestar}'' Not Now! I'm talking to Phone Tree Survivor Number Thirteen! ''{talking into headset}'' Yes, lady, the whole password.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Stro Bro, free bagels at the water cooler!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks excited}'' I'm sorry, ma'am, free bagels just happened.

''{Strong Bad leaps up from his desk, making the Gettup Noise, and slides out of his cubicle towards a water cooler with Homestar stuffed inside.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, man! This isn't free bagels!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No, but it is free-ing Homestar from the water cooler. That's pretty sweet.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{momentarily stutters}'' Just explain to me what you were ''trying'' to do when this happened.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I was in Barbados, hanging a picture on the wall...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, that tells me everything I need to know. How 'bout we try this?

''{Strong Bad walks over to the water cooler and presses down the button for the nozzle that has Homestar's leg sticking out of it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ow, ow, OW, STOP! Sweet genius, that hurt! Oh, well, just forget it. I'll just stay in here for the rest of my life. Just stack my mail on top of me, would ya? ''{Strong Bad walks off as a phone rings.}'' Thanks, S-bro! Man! Where should we go for lunch today? Chinese buffet?

''{Cut back to the list of "Stupid Things Homestar's Done." A scoreboard appears, which approaches its high number limit and then resets at zero.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You know how in video games, if you get the super duper high score, it eventually flips back to zero? Well, sometimes Homestar does something so stupid, he flips back to smart.

''{The scoreboard disappears as a dotted line is traced to a picture of Homestar with a graduation cap on. A caption appears under him that says "The joint Sub-Committee On So Stupid It's Smart-ities".}''

''{Cut to Homestar in the Field atop a soap box with Strong Sad in the foreground.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Awash with flavor!

'''STRONG SAD:''' Uh, okay Homestar. Then what's two plus two?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, the force between any two charges is equal to the absolute value of the multiple of the charges divided by 4 pi times the vacuum permittivity times the distance squared between the two charges. ''{As he says these words, computer-type noises are heard in the background.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, no, no, stupid! That's Coulomb's law.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, right, sorry! Two plus two? That's easy. Twenty-two.

''{Cut back to the list of "Stupid Things Homestar's Done."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And last of course, the most powerful branch. The Boudoir of Doing Stupid Things While Inside a College Mascot Costume.

''{A dotted line is traced to a football helmet with Homestar's face on it. A caption appears under it that reads "The Boudoir of Doing Stupid Things While Inside a College Mascot Costume".}''

''{Cut to the Field at night with Homestar inside The Jolly Dumple costume. A campfire is also inside it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Man, oh man, oh man! ''Man!'' Moving into this mascot costume was probably the coolest and least locking-myself-out-of-my-house-enest decision I ever made! ''{Homestar raises a stick with a juice box stuck on the end over the fire.}'' This juice box is gonna roast up good and plenty! Dark and lovely! Bed, Bath and Be-yond!

''{Cut to a wider shot revealing Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Homestar, what are you doin'?! That thing is made out of flame pro-tardant Polymascotfoamalate!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Polymascotfoamalate?! ''{his words echo}''

''{Fade to The Homestar Runner in the Old-Timey Field standing next to an alien. A spaceship has crashed into the factory in the background.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY ALIEN:''' But, Earthling, they don't have polymascotfoamalate on ''my'' planet. Eh-rumble.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's 'cause you're a communist fool, red!

''{The alien looks shocked. Cut to a stage with The Homestar Runner and Old-Timey Strong Bad dancing with a banner over their heads reading "Polymascotfoamalate!"}''

'''BACKGROUND SINGERS:''' ''{singing}'' Polymascotfoamalate!

''{Cut to The Homestar Runner dressed up as a baby.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Feed it to the babies.

''{Cut back to the stage, the alien joins them.}''

'''BACKGROUND SINGERS:''' ''{singing}'' Polymascotfoamalate!

''{Cut to Old-Timey Strong Bad with shaving cream on his face holding what appears to be baby powder in one hand and a cup full of shaving cream in the other.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Or as a topping on Soured Cream!

''{Cut to a globe with the words "POLYMASCOTFOAMALATE" written in front of it with the formula containing the elements that comprise it below.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Polymascotfoamalate! Helping America ''{appears above the globe as it is spoken}'' Ingenuitize the Future across the globe!

''{A record scratch is heard. We abruptly cut back to the Field at night with Homestar inside the mascot.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ohhh. Right. So I should be perfectly safe! ''{singing}'' Polymascotfoa- ''{an explosion occurs throwing Coach Z out of frame and Homestar's mascot costume disintegrates.}''

''{Cut back to the list of "Stupid Things Homestar's Done." Strong Bad stands up in front of it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So there you have it! Now it's up to you to make your own informed decisions about the stupidest things Homestar's done. Get involved, ''{a banner appears above Strong Bad}'' write a letter to your local Homestarman, ''{another banner appears}'' or throw a trash can through a plate glass window! ''{yet another banner appears}''

''{Strong Bad walks off screen and the camera pulls in on the top of the U.S. Capitol building shaped like Homestar's head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{singing}'' And that's how I become a law! ''{fireworks appear in the air}'' Pa-too! Pa-too! Pa-too!

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

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:4branches_personalstyle.png|thumb|A Great Idea for Personal Style]]
*Click on "spreadsheet" after Strong Bad types it to see a spreadsheet titled "A Great Idea for Personal Style" with the handwriting "MONGOLIAN BEEF W[[Lowercase i's|i]]G" and Homestar's head wearing such wig spread across the cells.
*Click on the cartoon in Strong Bad's cubicle to see a [[Dullard (comic)|Dullard]] comic.
*At the end of the email, click on Homestar's head to see more fireworks.
*At the end, click on "Stupid" to see a [[Limozeen: "but they're in space!"]] cartoon:
*:''{Larry, Gary, and Perry are seen on a teal planet with the Old-Timey Alien, a snake-like animal coming out of the ground, and a ringed planet in the background.}''
*:'''OLD-TIMEY ALIEN:''' ''{gestures and stamps feet while speaking}'' Oh, but Limozeen-in-space-lings. They don't have hot blonde groupies with high bangs on ''my'' planet... ''{trailing off}'' eh, grumble...

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*Homestar correctly states [[Wikipedia:Coulomb's law|Coulomb's law]], which determines the magnitude of the electrostatic force between two particles based on their charges <math>q_1</math> and <math>q_2</math> and the distance between them <math>r</math>:
*:<math>F=\frac1{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{|q_1q_2|}{r^2}</math>
*[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/red "Red"] is a nickname for a [[Wikipedia:Communism|Communist]].
*"Polymascotfoamalate" is a [[Portmanteaus|portmanteau]] of quite a few words. "[[Wiktionary:poly-|Poly-]]" is a [[Wikipedia:prefix|prefix]] meaning "many", probably intended to reference the large number of manmade materials whose names also start with the prefix ([[Wikipedia:polyester|polyester]], [[Wikipedia:polyurethane|polyurethane]], [[Wikipedia:polyisocyanurate|polyisocyanurate]]), "[[Wikipedia:Mascot|mascot]]" being its own word, and "[[Wikipedia:foam|foam]]" which is a word by itself, but in context, may refer either to [[Wikipedia:foam rubber|foam rubber]], which is often used in wearable mascot costumes, or to [[Wikipedia:fire retardant foam|fire retardant foam]].
*In old arcade games, if you get a score higher than 999,999, it rolls over to 0. This happens in such games as [[Wikipedia:Namco|Namco]]'s ''[[Wikipedia:Galaga|Galaga]]'' or ''[[Wikipedia:Pac-Man|Pac-Man]]''.
*"The Four Branches of Stupid Things Homestar's Done" are a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Separation of powers|three branches of the United States government]], and the shape of the governmental building is the [[Wikipedia:United States Capitol|United States Capitol]] building, often used as a symbol of the [[Wikipedia:Legislature|legislative branch]].
*Calling the alien a "communist fool" makes fun of most alien movies in the 1950s, including [[Wikipedia:The War of the Worlds (1953 film)|War of the Worlds]] and [[Wikipedia:Invasion of the Body Snatchers|Invasion of the Body Snatchers]], where the aliens usually represented the Soviet Union.
*[[The Show#The Show AM|The Show AM]] is a parody of several talk shows that feature [[wikipedia:Makeover|makeovers]] such as ''[[wikipedia:The Oprah Winfrey Show|Oprah]]'', ''[[wikipedia:Queer Eye for the Straight Guy|Queer Eye for the Straight Guy]]'', and ''[[wikipedia:Extreme Makeover|Extreme Makeover]]'', and [[Wikipedia:Tabloid talk show|tabloid talk shows]] such as ''[[Wikipedia:The Jerry Springer Show|The Jerry Springer Show]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Maury (TV series)|Maury]]''.

===Remarks===
*''Nuevo York'' is an incorrect way of saying New York in Spanish. ''Nueva York'' is the correct Spanish form.
*Strong Bad's polo shirt has a 5.25 inch floppy disk crest. Homestar, however, is not wearing the usual polo shirt attire to work.
*Homestar does not have any trouble breathing or speaking underwater.
*At the end of the firework Easter egg, you can hear a pop sound, showing the Brothers Chaps cut out the sound from earlier in the email.
*When The King of Town's "Drab to Fab" makeover is shown, the colors of his crown are reversed, as they were in [[The King of Town Evolution|earlier designs]].
*Homestar's legs during the The Show AM are for some reason the old design. Notice the left foot being in an awkward angle.
*Homestar's eyes appear considerably bigger than normal while inside the water cooler. Nor do they blink every three seconds, which suggests new eyes were made especially for this scene.

===Goofs===
*The floppy disk on Strong Bad's shirt jumps between Strong Bad's left and right side so that it's always facing the audience.

===Fixed Goofs===
*When the email was first posted, Strong Bad typed "in" instead of "any" when he says "No, we'll have to get much more specific if we're gonna cover any stupid Homestar ground," at the beginning of the email. This was later corrected.
*When the email was first posted, ''[[Wikipedia:boudoir|boudoir]]'' was misspelled as "Budoir". This was later corrected.

===Inside References===
*The [[Soapbox]] makes another appearance when Homestar stands on it while he answers Strong Sad, and its label now reads "Fourteen times".
*Limozeen's animated debut was in [[best thing]].
*"MONGOLIAN BEEF WiG" is an example of [[Lowercase i's|lowercase i's]].
*The Jolly Dumple first appeared in [[mascot]].
*Homestar's fireworks sounds at the end of the email are the same sounds he makes in [[couch patch]] when he is spitting teddy grahams.

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Bed Bath & Beyond|Bed Bath & Beyond]] is a chain of domestic stores across the United States.
*[[Wikipedia:Good & Plenty|Good & Plenty]] is a famous licorice candy.
*Dark & Lovely is a brand of hair relaxer and other hair care products.
*Homestar saying "That's how I become a law!" is a reference to the School House Rock cartoon "[[Wikipedia:I'm Just a Bill|I'm Just a Bill]]", showing how a bill becomes a law in Washington.
*Strong Bad's recommendation to "throw a trash can through a plate glass window" is likely a reference to the climactic scene in Spike Lee's film ''[[Wikipedia:Do the Right Thing|Do the Right Thing]]''.
*The mustard bottle has the distinctive red cap and yellow barrel shape of [[Wikipedia:Plochman's|Plochman's]] mustard.
*The sun logo for The Show AM is very similar to that of [http://www.techiediva.com/photos/uncategorized/todayshow.gif The Today Show] on [[Wikipedia:NBC|NBC]]. The "am" typeface is reminiscent of [[Wikipedia:TV-am|TV-am]].
*Homestar's "[[:Image:Homestarbadboyfriend.PNG|Denied]]" shirt during The Show AM segment pokes fun at [[Wikipedia:spring break|spring break]] events in [[Wikipedia:Panama City Beach, Florida|Panama City Beach, Florida]].
*The Old-Timey Alien's voice and crashed spacecraft suggest a reference to [[Wikipedia:The Great Gazoo|The Great Gazoo]] of [[Wikipedia:The Flintstones|The Flintstones]].

== Homestar Water Container ==

Does anyone want to have some fun and guess how Homestar got in there.I think... hmm what do I think umm I don't know what I think never mind.

:Well, he was in Barbados, hanging a picture on the wall... -{{User:YK/sig}} 06:32, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
::Naturally he met a witch doctor who asked him where he spends most of his time, and he said in the water cooler...
Or even better, take this to the [[Forum:10200|forum thrad]].{{User:Loafing/sig}} 06:54, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
:Anyone have any idea what Barbados has to do with a water cooler? Very odd. I feel like there HAS to be a joke there that I'm not getting. I mean why does that one partial sentence tell SB all he needs to know?? Is this a movie reference maybe?
::I think it's just completely random. SB knew that Homestar was about to tell him some completely untrue and nonsensical story, so he stopped him right there... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 11:53, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

== Old-Timey Nebulon? ==

Think this alien could be the Old-Timey Nebulon? Could be!--{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 07:20, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
:Well, The Homestar Runner doesn't like his style...--[[User:Bobo the King|Bobo the King]] 07:33, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
::True, but i expected that 1936 Nebulon would be green (in the easter egg, he's gray) and to be shaped more like him. --[[User:Young Roy|Y. Roy]] 13:00, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
:::Actually, *all* the Old-Timey characters are in black and white, all the time. Even if they're outside of the Old-Timey dimension, such as [[20X6 vs. 1936]] and [[alternate universe]]. I'd say this is the Old-Timey equivilent of Nebulon. -{{User:YK/sig}} 20:23, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
:I think it's possible; I did kind of think about Nebulon (the whole "Because you're a communist fool!" thing seems a bit similar to the "Nobody likes your style!" thing), but I don't think there's quite enough resemblance other than that to say he's ''definitely'' supposed to be 1936'd Nebs. {{User:Saturn/sig}} 13:27, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
:It's not much of a stretch to see that as Neb. But "our" Neb has two eyes and doesn't talk... Not to mention no arms or discernible legs. I'm still going with that being Neb, however. {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 14:20, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
::Strong Bad tells nebulon that noone likes his style. 1-Up tells 20X6 Nebulon that no one likes his style. So, it's be legit that The Homestar Runner would tell 1936 Nebulon that noone likes his style. Also, he has no similar shape to him, Homestar says he's RED, and whne homestar says "Because you're a communist fool!" to him, he doesn't make the noise. Or any noise. --[[User:Young Roy|Young Roy]]
:::"Red" is just a nickname because he's a Commie, though. Or something like that. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Stretch in Real World References ==

"The Homestar fireworks at the end of the cartoon is a direct sendup from Super Mario Brothers 1 for the Nintendo Entertainment System; you recieved fireworks when you did very well on a level."

Highly unlikely. For one, you got that at the end if you finished at a certain time. Second, lots of things have fireworks at the end. I don't see how this is a referance to SMB more than, say, a political cartoon in which fireworks appear as a patriotical symbol.

:I completely agree and removed the fact. Anyone who thinks differently may STUFF it. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 09:01, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree completely with the Super Mario Bros. reference. That was my take on it. (Sorry if I'm screwing this wiki format up, I'm a newbie)

Frankly, I think that the fireworks in this mail are closer to the fireworks found in either one of the Main Pages or Strong Bad E-Mail #100. But that's about the same kind of stretch, so... Hah hah! ~ [[User:Jessica Ingmann|Jessica Ingmann]] 13:21, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

== Coulomb's law ==

...and I thought that I was going to go the rest of my life without ever hearing Coulomb's law again. Oh well. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 11:04, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

:That's makes two of us... {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 11:08, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

::On my [[User_talk:Invisible_Robot_Fish#Pre-Calc_101|talk page]] we already talked about the horrors of Calc, now I have to relive physics again. I never really understood what a Gausian Surface was, but I got the problems correct on the test somehow. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 12:52, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey hey hey. Hey. Hey. Hey, now... physics is cool. Yes, I'm a physicist.--[[User:Bobo the King|Bobo the King]] 23:41, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

:Do you teach physics or practice it? {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 03:45, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

::Well, in a sense we ''all'' practice physics every day... {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:50, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

:::re-phrase... Teach? If so HS or college? <s>Practice</s> Research? If so, what's your field? {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 04:05, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

== TTATOT Oprah ==

When homestar started talking about makeovers, did anyone else think that he sounded a little like Oprah? I'm enough people will shout TTATOT, so I'm not even going to bother putting it up. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 12:54, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

:Yeah, there are tons of shows like that, once again it's a reference to the whole genre of talk shows, instead of a particular one. Although that chair-throwing is clearly a Jerry Springer, because he is known for his violence. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 12:57, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

::Not just the chair throwing but the whole, let's bring on the bad boyfriend thing, which was obviously JS. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 12:59, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

::The surprise guest is Springer, but the thrown chair if infamously Geraldo.

:::As is, the fun fact is horribly TTATOT. There's a certain reference to the Today Show logo as noted below, but listing specific programs the "makeover" and "reality talk show" segments refer to is a little much, in my opinion. This could be split into two facts, one a reference to the logo, another to the basic genres of shows being referenced (but not specifics). {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 04:06, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

::::I think you may have gone a bit too far. The incident where a chair gets thrown at Homestar is almost definitely from Geraldo. It pretty much the single incident most people think of when you mention someone throwing a chair at a reality talk show. NOT mentioning Geraldo in reference to that scene would sound like you'd missed a reference. {{User:El Santo/sig}}

== AM ==

When the show comes on, there is a semi circle. I am certain that it is very close to a 1980's logo for either Good Morning America or a similiar show. Can anyone find it? {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 12:58, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Is "War of the Worlds" really an example of aliens representing communists?

== Orange and black loose tooth removers ==

While orange and black may be the color of the Marshie candies, they're also the color of the wrappers of Mary Jane/Bit-O-Honey candies. A photo and description is found here: http://www.typetive.com/candyblog/item/mary_jane_peanut_butter_kisses/ The candy is chewy and sticky, and perfect for pulling teeth or fillings. I'd say this is closer to a real world reference than an inside reference.
:That's true, but Homestar says "orange and black ''flavored''". Marshie said the same thing in [[Malloween Commercial]], which is why I consider this an Inside Reference. — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 16:32, 30 October 2006
::I agree, the inside referance is the phrase "Orange and Black Flavored," not Orange and Black colored candies. [[User:Pyromaniac|Pyromaniac]]
:::No, no, no. Anyone remember... I think the house that gave Sucky Treats. Eaither that or the one after it, but it could also be a reference to the mini-game at the beggining where you have to slice open the bags and, guess what, the same exact candies come out. --[[User:Zoologist|Zoologist]] 05:29, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
::::I have to agree with the original post, those are real candies that are really gross, and would likely remove a loose tooth. I think it's a real world reference.

So we have 3 possible fun facts about these candies, two of them mentioned here and one that was in the article.
#RWR to the real-life candies with orange and black wrappers that are sticky and perfect for pulling out fillings and loose teeth.
#Inside reference to Fluffy Puff orange and black flavored marshmallows from [[Malloween Commercial]].
#"...possible reference to the [[Strong Bad's Treat Snatcha|mini-game]] in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], in which once you cut the bag open, the exact same candy pours out of the bag."

Now my thoughts:
#Putting that in real-world refs is okay, especially if you give the exact name of what those candies are called. But, would this be a "YOUR JOKE A SPLANED" to mention that they are perfect for ripping out loose teeth because they are sticky? I think it would qualify. Then what would be the point of a real-world reference discussing a fairly common object?
#When Homestar says "orange and black ''flavored''", is it supposed to remind you about the orange and black flavored Fluffy Puffs? This is a tough call because it is quite subjective. Is it a phrase meant to remind you of a past toon, or is it merely worded that way because this toon is being written by the same people? In my opinion, this fact is the best candidate for making it into the article, but ''word it carefully''. You could even throw in a link to the real candy name as a bonus.
#I don't know why the fact that I removed from the article stressed the "flavored" but then talked about its past appearance in the Treat Snatcha game. That wassn't worded to make the right connection. Ignoring the "flavored" part, should there be a fact that talks about a candy's past appearance on the site? For something this minor, I say, "big deal."

—[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 21:19, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

A few more comments:

The real candies are exactly what I thought of when I saw this cartoon, not the prior commercial.

Secondly, per [[Malloween_Commercial|the Malloween Commercial Page]], there's some question as to whether the orange and black marshmallows are actually flavored differently or whether they "taste the same, but look different". Could be that TBC said "flavored" when they meant "colored". That could be true here as well. Or not. Who knows?

Also, who's to say that the orange and black Marshie treats themselves aren't a reference to these gosh-awful candies?

== Opening Glitch? ==

When I load the toon, Marzipan moves in silence for about two frames, and then the toon freezes for a moment before the audio begins and the video starts up again.

== And The Cheat says... ==

I hear it as "Red rum! Red rum!" But more to the point - I don't like the trend of putting words in The Cheat's mouth. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:14, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
:I don't hear it as anything specific, but it matches "Bright light! Bright light", as frequently called by Gizmo (The Cheat's costume). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Monchhicheat? ==

I thought SB calls the Cheat "Monchhicheat", a pun on "Monchhichis" and a reference to the fact the The Cheat is hairier than usual (due to his Gizmo costume). [[User:Starblind|Starblind]] 20:17, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

== Jam On It? ==

Does The Skull really say "Ajambonee"? I thought it said "Jam on it". EDIT: if you listen closely, you can hear a "t" sound at the end of his sentence. I think that confirms it. — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 15:24, 30 October 2006
I thought it said a jam on it, a play on a curse on it.-Some Anon
:I concur. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 17:37, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

"Jam On It" was an old-school rap (from the mid-80's) by the band Newcleus. It was both the title and tagline...sounds to me like what the skull was saying. (You might have to ask Coach Z)

== "We need hamen?" ==

Uh, I'm fairly sure Marzipan says "We be jammin'", which makes a lot more sense in a reggae context. Plus they are, you know, actual words. ;) GSL -- [[User:68.251.82.222|68.251.82.222]] 20:42, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

== Never Feed Them After Midnight ... ==

Mogwai don't turn into "some sort of horrible beastie" after being exposed to the sun. The sun ''kills'' them. It's ''feeding them after midnight'' that turns them into Gremlins.

== Orange and black loose tooth removers ==

While orange and black may be the color of the Marshie candies, they're also the color of the wrappers of Mary Jane/Bit-O-Honey candies. A photo and description is found here: http://www.typetive.com/candyblog/item/mary_jane_peanut_butter_kisses/ The candy is chewy and sticky, and perfect for pulling teeth or fillings. I'd say this is closer to a real world reference than an inside reference.
:That's true, but Homestar says "orange and black ''flavored''". Marshie said the same thing in [[Malloween Commercial]], which is why I consider this an Inside Reference. — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 16:32, 30 October 2006
::I agree, the inside referance is the phrase "Orange and Black Flavored," not Orange and Black colored candies. [[User:Pyromaniac|Pyromaniac]]
:::No, no, no. Anyone remember... I think the house that gave Sucky Treats. Eaither that or the one after it, but it could also be a reference to the mini-game at the beggining where you have to slice open the bags and, guess what, the same exact candies come out. --[[User:Zoologist|Zoologist]] 05:29, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
::::I have to agree with the original post, those are real candies that are really gross, and would likely remove a loose tooth. I think it's a real world reference.

So we have 3 possible fun facts about these candies, two of them mentioned here and one that was in the article.
#RWR to the real-life candies with orange and black wrappers that are sticky and perfect for pulling out fillings and loose teeth.
#Inside reference to Fluffy Puff orange and black flavored marshmallows from [[Malloween Commercial]].
#"...possible reference to the [[Strong Bad's Treat Snatcha|mini-game]] in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], in which once you cut the bag open, the exact same candy pours out of the bag."

Now my thoughts:
#Putting that in real-world refs is okay, especially if you give the exact name of what those candies are called. But, would this be a "YOUR JOKE A SPLANED" to mention that they are perfect for ripping out loose teeth because they are sticky? I think it would qualify. Then what would be the point of a real-world reference discussing a fairly common object?
#When Homestar says "orange and black ''flavored''", is it supposed to remind you about the orange and black flavored Fluffy Puffs? This is a tough call because it is quite subjective. Is it a phrase meant to remind you of a past toon, or is it merely worded that way because this toon is being written by the same people? In my opinion, this fact is the best candidate for making it into the article, but ''word it carefully''. You could even throw in a link to the real candy name as a bonus.
#I don't know why the fact that I removed from the article stressed the "flavored" but then talked about its past appearance in the Treat Snatcha game. That wassn't worded to make the right connection. Ignoring the "flavored" part, should there be a fact that talks about a candy's past appearance on the site? For something this minor, I say, "big deal."

—[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 21:19, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

A few more comments:

The real candies are exactly what I thought of when I saw this cartoon, not the prior commercial.

Secondly, per [[Malloween_Commercial|the Malloween Commercial Page]], there's some question as to whether the orange and black marshmallows are actually flavored differently or whether they "taste the same, but look different". Could be that TBC said "flavored" when they meant "colored". That could be true here as well. Or not. Who knows?

Also, who's to say that the orange and black Marshie treats themselves aren't a reference to these gosh-awful candies?

== Opening Glitch? ==

When I load the toon, Marzipan moves in silence for about two frames, and then the toon freezes for a moment before the audio begins and the video starts up again. Looks like a glitch (or a goof) to me. Perhaps it's an error in the synch between the audio and video? --[[User:Lukeonia1|Lukeonia1]] 23:06, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
:Not getting the praeblem here. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 23:57, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
::I've noticed my old, slow computer often freezes for a moment before sound starts playing in any flash file. That's probably what's happening here (something similar is happening to me, but I don't think it's a glitch in the toon itself). {{User:Saturn/sig}} 03:15, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

== I don't do so well in all this sunlight... ==

Could Strong Sad be suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_Affective_Disorder)? One could take his mouth twitches to be an involuntary smile, a sign that the sunlight is effectively treating his depression. What do you think?
:Yes, definitely. That's the joke. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 00:15, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
:Well, he IS on medication... no, I'm just kidding. But I doubt the SAD thing. Even if the abbreviation is the same as his name. The real point was just so we could see that a) Strong Sad can laugh and b) he doesn't want to. Maybe he's taking meds to MAKE himself depressed?[[User:Zero.exe|Zero.exe]] 00:49, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

== Poopsmith Glitch ==

"When the camera zooms in on Strong Sad after The Poopsmith's head becomes clickable (for the Homsar easter egg), that area of the screen is still clickable even though nothing is there."

== Risque Real-World Reference ==

Ummm... this may be too adult-oriented for the wiki, but I think when Strongbad refers to the fact that they should have been out "turning treats" by then, he's making a play on the term "turning tricks" - which refers to prostitution. Treats instead of tricks. Just throwing it out there to see if I'm the only one with my brain in the gutter. ^___^; [[User:Dandon TRJ|Dandon TRJ]] 02:52, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

::::I've gotta disagree with you there. Even though H*R appeals to younger fans, and TBC try to keep it clean, they definitely throw some humor over the kiddies' heads for the adult-types in the audience. You can tell from interviews that it's in their nature. As for the joke itself, "trick or treat" is the h'ween expression. Simply switch out that one word in the other expression, and there you go. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:39, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

:::::::Granted, but, to get back to what was originally posted, I don't think this should mentioned in the article. Family wiki issues aside, the main reason is simply that if you don't already know this, you don't need to be told. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 22:40, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

==No Real Opening Credits==
For the first time ever on the website, no real opening credits accompany a Halloween toon; all we see is the phrase: "These ARE the opening credits!" What gives? [[User:MHarrington|MHarrington]] 06:40, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

:Those are the opening credits. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 07:03, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

== Poopsmith Easter egg glitch ==

I was unable to duplicate the following fun fact yesterday, so I commented the fact out of the article asking if it had been fixed or was never there to begin with. This is the fact, in the Glitches category:

*When the camera zooms in on Strong Sad after The Poopsmith's head becomes clickable (for the Homsar Easter egg), that area of the screen is still clickable even though nothing is there.

I'm posting here because of the higher traffic and the greater chance that someone can answer the question. Can I get a witness? —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:23, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry about that. On a re-viewing, I discovered that the glitch didn't exist; I hadn't moved my mouse after clicking on The Poopsmith's head, so it looked like the area was still clickable. So it wasn't really there at all. My bad. [[User:Zero.exe|Zero.exe]] 03:29, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

:That's just a flash artifact. The Brother's Chaps don't even bother animating anything that you're never going to see normally, so it's not really a goof. - {{User:The Joe/sig}} 00:16, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

== That chew toy, it's... A BRAIN! ==

'Ey. Inactive user here, just saying that there's another brain sighting, other than TGS 4, Stinkoman 20X6, Summer Short Shorts, and some other cartoons I forgot.

== Inside References ==

In Malloween, HR has a t-shirt with the text 'This IS my costume'.
This time around, it's the other way around. Almost.

[[image:hr-newsboy-costume.png]]

Also, Homsar says 'this get-down is my get-up', also clearly a reference.

What I'm trying to say is this:
Will somebody please type this in in a proper manner?

*Shouldn't it be noted that "This IS my costume" is a fairly popular Halloween joke, making both H*R's newsboy remark and Homsar's... usual oddness... real-world references? And, in unrelated news, does anybody have a link to information on that DST bill? I can't find one, but need it for the fun fact I stuck in. [[User:Zero.exe|Zero.exe]] 02:17, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

== Homsar... ==

Isn't wearing his trademark bowler hat! Doesn't anybody else find that unusual? Even in the earlier Halloween toons, he has it, or a variation on it, anyway. (At least, I know he did as "Slash" in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], and am pretty sure he did in [[The House that Gave Sucky Treats]].) [[User:Zero.exe|Zero.exe]] 02:04, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
:He didn't have a hat of any kind in [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], either. {{User:Saturn/sig}} 02:30, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
::I know, I checked the costume lists (there's also no hat in [[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]]), but still, it's a rare sight to see Homsar without his hat. It's like seeing a happy Strong Sad. (Which, coincidentally enough, also happened in this 'toon.) [[User:Zero.exe|Zero.exe]] 02:53, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

== Daylight Wasting Time ==

I'm wondering what to do about [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Happy_Hallow-day&oldid=380950 this edit]. I hear the point, especially interesting given that the whole 'toon is about trick-or-treating in the daylight. (The best Wikipedia link, btw, is [[Wikipedia:Daylight_Savings_Time#Daylight_Saving_for_Halloween|this]].) I wanted to rewrite it, though, since the words "has been speculated" in an article give me the jibblies. BUT... If expanded, it really wants more to be a Real-World Ref. about the proposition. And I'm not sure it has a strong case to make as one. Thoughts? —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 02:27, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

:If you want to edit it, go right ahead- although I see that a similar fact has already been STUFFed and declininated. I meant it only as a side note to the remark about how TBC said the sun rose an hour before it actually did (supporting evidence, perhaps?) As for "has been speculated", I was just in a bureaucratic mood (or something like that.) By all means, edit if you want. That's what Wiki is for. [[User:Zero.exe|Zero.exe]] 02:40, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

::I removed it. Next year, the sun will rise an hour ''later'' than this year (two hours later than shown in the toon), not earlier. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:44, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

:::I used timeanddate.com to come up with the remark about sunrise, and using the same source, I have noticed that at 8:13 PM next Halloween, it is still going to be dark under normal circumstances, as seen. (At least in Atlanta...can't imagine TBC using some other time zone.) It will have reached astronomical [[Wikipedia:Twilight|Twilight]], i.e. more-or-less total darkness, a few minutes before 8:13 PM in [http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/astronomy.html?n=25&month=10&year=2007&obj=sun&afl=-13&day=1 2007].

Is this the first time Coach Z has pronounced Homestar's name correctly? If so I think that should be worth a remark at least. {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 03:45, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

:Doesn't he usually say H*r's name right? (Except at the end of A Jorb Well Done, that is.)

== Voltron vs. Halloween Finding Space Panther ==

First off, they were LIONS, not panthers. Second, Voltron was a humanoid robot when the lions joined forces. I would think this particular reference is closer to the animal robots line of Transformers toys.
:Surely that would be Beast Wars (or whatever it was called) rather than transformers, although i disagree about it being that. Can't comment on Voltron as I haven't seen it.[[User:DumbMuscle|DumbMuscle]] 21:19, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

* As with other Halloween cartoons, click on the Poopsmith's head (after the King of Town says "this year") to see Homsar.
*: ''{Homsar is standing beside a pile of newspapers simmilar to those Homestar is seen with during the toon intro. He is holding up one of the papers to display the headline "EGGS TREE! EGGS TREE!", and a tree growing eggs as fruit can be seen behind him}''
*: '''HOMSAR:''' Eggs tree, eggs tree! This get-up ''is'' mah get down! ''{as he says the second sentence, his head sinks into his neck, leaving an empty space}''

[[Image:Holiday_Toons_Pic.PNG|thumb|Holiday In Free Country, USA]]

'''Holidays''' are a big part of [[Free Country, USA]], with holidays such as Mother's Day and Flag Day. Some of the more prevalent holidays are unlikely choices, such as April Fool's Day and Labor Day, also known as Labor Dabor. The most celebrated holidays, however, are Halloween and [[Decemberween]], the latter of which appears to be a euphemism for Christmas, possibly created for viewers of religions other than Christianity.

== Holidays ==
=== New Year's Day (January 1st)===

A day to set goals for the next year, with no intention whatsoever of following them.

*[[Homestar Presents: Presents]] (Mentioned by [[Strong Bad]] near the end)
*[[Where's The Cheat?]] ([[The Cheat]]'s resolution mentioned)
*[[Strong Sad's Lament]] ([[Strong Sad]] talks about several people's resolutions, and his own)

===Trogday (January 13th)===

The anniversary of the creation of [[Trogdor|Trogdor the Burninator]]

*[[dragon]] (2003)
*[[Happy Trogday]] (2006)

=== Super Bowl/The Big Game (last Sunday in January or first Sunday in February) ===

A day of rest, and of putting off until tomorrow what you could do today.

*[[Superbowl Dealie]] (2003)
*[[island]] (Strong Bad and Homestar find a flyer advertising Super Bowl XIX)

=== Valentine's Day (February 14th) ===

A depressing time for Strong Sad, and possibly even Strong Bad, Valentine's Day is the day the citizens of Free Country USA realize just how empty their lives really are.

*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 6.0]] (Mentioned by Strong Bad)
*[[Strong Sad's Lament]] (Strong Sad Laments about Valentine's Day, via a short [[Powered by The Cheat]]-style animation depicting Valentine's Day: [[HR:sadjournal/vday.swf|'vday.swf']])

=== April Fool's Day (April 1st) ===
A time of tomfoolery for [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]].

*[[Revenge of the King]] (2003)
*[[Under Construction]] (2004)
*[[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]] (2005)
*[[April Fool's 2006]] (Effect on the site for the purpose of recognizing April Fools)

=== The Cheat's 'Cheatday' (April 18th)===

Free Country's biggest birthday bash is The Cheat's Cheatday, celebrated on April 18th, the date on The Cheat's fake ID, because that's the only day Strong Bad is sure is ''not'' The Cheat's birthday.

*[[cheatday]] (2004)
*[[Strong Bad's Room Main Page]] (refers to Cheatday)

===Birthdays===

General birthday references also abound. All of these toons mention someone's "birthday".

*[[In Search Of The Yello Dello DVD]] ([[Marzipan]]'s birthday)
*[[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 1.0]] (refers to Marzipan's birthday)
*[[Strong Bad Sings]] ([[Strong Mad]] sings "Happy Birthday", or at least tries to)

*[[origins]] (refers to Strong Bad's birthday)
*[[The Secrets That I Keep]] (refers to Strong Sad's birthday)
*[[flashback]] ([[Homestar Runner]] mistakenly thinks it's Strong Bad's birthday.)
*[[bottom 10]] ([[Marshie]] thinks it's his "birfday". [[Nibbles]] corrects him.)
*[[Happy Trogday]] ([[Stinkoman]] says his birthday was last week.)
*[[Strongest Man in the World]] (Homestar tells [[Pom Pom]] to give him the golbol for his birthday.)

=== Mother's Day (second Sunday in May) ===

A day to recognize the hard work of the women who never have, and likely never will, appear in Free Country USA.

*[[A Mother's Day Message]] (2002)

=== Senorial Day (last Monday in May) ===

A day that seems to correspond to [[Wikipedia:Memorial Day|Memorial Day]]. Apparently, all the big stores in town (at least, [[Senor Cardgage]]'s and [[Bubs]]') have sales that weekend.

*[[Senorial Day]] (2005)

=== Flag Day (June 14th) ===

A day to proudly raise the [[Strong Badia]] flag, and sing along to the Strong Badia national anthem.

*[[flag day]] (2002)

=== Fourth of July/Independence Day (July 4th) ===
A time of patriotism, retrospect, and, of course, fireworks.

*[[Flag Intro]]
*[[Main Page 12]]
*[[Happy Fireworks]] (2005)

=== Labor Day (first Monday in September) ===
Labor Day (aka Labor-Dabor) is a day of no work, enforced by the [[Homestarmy]].

*[[Labor Dabor]] (2004)

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Strong Bad is asked if he celebrates Thanksgiving, but tells us about his own Thanksgiving-like holiday.

=== [[Decemberween]] (December 25th) ===

:Yes, I had it archived on my computer for several months now (unknowingly, no doubt), and only yesterday did I realise I had it available all this time...and I had yet to see it here on the wiki. The flag of strongbadia (in all its glory) can now be seen in weekly fanstuff! --[[User:The Paper|Teh P.]] 22:07, 3 Oct 2004 (MST)

What ''are'' homestar meltymen? -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 09:41, 1 Oct 2004 (MST)

Almost 100% sure "sweetchucks" means Sweet Chuck Taylor's .. because the shoes are Converse, a brand by Chuck Taylor. -- [[User:EMJS|EMJS]]

== Cardboard Tube link ==

I've removed the link to [http://www.obeythetube.com obeythetube.com] from the Trogdor Stand-up cabinet listing. Some of the images in their "images" section look similar to the cabinet, but I wasn't able to find that particular image anywhere. Perhaps the image was just created using the same software? Does anyone have any information regarding this website and its images?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 17:11, 5 Oct 2004 (MST)

It's definately there. Go to images => mapojects => old school arcade. They have a bunch or arcade cabinets, including the exact trogdor image.

== Possiblity for a table? ==

A number of the images in this article are rather large and a few are off-site images. Nevertheless, does anyone else think that the weekly fanstuff article is a candidate for a table? I believe [[User:Tom|Tom]] implemented a nice table, very recently, on a similiar article over at [[Weekly Sketchbook|Sketchbook]], and I just wanted to know if anyone else thought that it would be a good idea? I could help with the image uploading if a few others think it might work.

== Skullcap ==
Is it just me or did they totally miss out on the "homestarmukle"???

Homestar Skullcap, what kinda name is that?

:That's what TBC decided to name it, mystery poster. Appears to be a 'yarmulka' to me. "Skullcap" is a just a more neutral (politically correct) word for the same garment. --[[User:The Paper|Teh P.]] 23:09, 11 Nov 2004 (MST)

Heh, I suppose the political-correctness is an issue, but I thought it was a great funny that got passed up. : ) I'm a long-time hrwiki lurker. --Aegd

Hey So that is my head and my Yarmulke. I didnt think anyone would get Homestarmulke. But how awesome.

Shouldn't this description read something like "Homestar on a yarmulka (Jewish skullcap)"? The skullcap mushroom description is flat-out incorrect. -- random lurker

==Archival==
This page should be archived periodically to prevent it from getting too long. Once a month mayhaps? - [[User:Drhaggis|Drhaggis]] 00:47, 17 Nov 2004 (MST)

== Fairly On Point Kings ==

Is it just me, or is it quite plausable that [[Strong Mad]] is being played by a dresser? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 17:06, 16 Sep 2005 (UTC)
:Seems logical to me. Making such a rectangular costume might be a tad difficult (can YOU balance a thick wooden board on your head for a long time?). Obviously, it's a fairly thick surface, as it doesn't bend at the ends, like a piece of cardboard might if balanced on someone's head and draped with a sheet. Also, the place where Strong Mad's arms would be are kinda limp-looking (perhaps indicating that there's no person in the costume who would manipulate the arms). It looks about the right size for a dresser too, judging by the fellow dressed as Strong Bad next to it. And lastly, the Kick The Cheat plushie on top indicates that it's a level surface, which would be hard to do on a person. So, in summary, it's not just you. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::Actually... I'm pretty sure there's a person in there. My wife and I are pretty sure we saw them at a Japanese culture convention or two, most likely [http://www.pacificmediaexpo.com/ Pacific Media Expo] or [http://www.anime-expo.org/ Anime Expo]. Note the badge hanging around Strong Bad's neck. I'd have to dig out my collection of conbadges to see if one of them matches, but I'm still quite sure that they're the same people, from the distinctively lopsided shape of the Strong Bad costume's head. Anyway, the Strong Mad costume mostly consisted of a wooden frame, and I'm pretty sure that they had handles coming down from the top inside the costume to support it. Here's another picture that also shows Strong Mad's feet: [http://image46.webshots.com/47/7/78/24/388577824NhyKtG_ph.jpg]. -- [[User:Laser-Grilled Crab & Cheese Sandwich|LGC&CS]] 04:09, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Obviously, it's a fairly thick surface, as it doesn't bend at the ends, like a piece of cardboard might if balanced on someone's head and draped with a sheet. Also, the place where Strong Mad's arms would be are kinda limp-looking (perhaps indicating that there's no person in the costume who would manipulate the arms). It looks about the right size for a dresser too, judging by the fellow dressed as Strong Bad next to it. And lastly, the Kick The Cheat plushie on top indicates that it's a level surface, which would be hard to do on a person. So, in summary, it's not just you. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::Actually... I'm pretty sure there's a person in there. My wife and I are pretty sure we saw them at a Japanese culture convention or two, most likely [http://www.pacificmediaexpo.com/ Pacific Media Expo] or [http://www.anime-expo.org/ Anime Expo]. Note the badge hanging around Strong Bad's neck. I'd have to dig out my collection of conbadges to see if one of them matches, but I'm still quite sure that they're the same people, from the distinctively lopsided shape of the Strong Bad costume's head. Anyway, the Strong Mad costume mostly consisted of a wooden frame, and I'm pretty sure that they had handles coming down from the top inside the costume to support it. Here's another picture that also shows Strong Mad's feet: [http://image46.webshots.com/47/7/78/24/388577824NhyKtG_ph.jpg]. -- [[User:Laser-Grilled Crab & Cheese Sandwich|LGC&CS]] 04:09, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, it looks like a bookbag/bagpack of sorts. On the left, it seems to be carried by some lady and it hangs down to her waist (those are pretty long straps). The second it's just set against a pole or handrail of sorts, overlooking some hill and there's a staircase to the left.

== Guitar fun fact ==

I liked this fact (although would suggest it be reworded by someone better than me):
*"Furious Fingers" claims to have 17 guitars with 43 necks. With a ratio of roughly 2.5 necks per guitar, he must own several triple necked guitars and likely a few doubles as well.
The notable thing isnt so much the presence of the guitars, but the sheer number of multi-necked ones (if only 3 neck and one necked, then 13 would have to be triple, or 8 double and 9 triple), which strikes me (although i will admit that I am musically challenged at best) as a bit odd. Assuming no more than 3 necks per guitar (which I accept is wrong, but more seems to be rare from the Wikipedia [[Wikipedia:Double neck guitar|article]]), over half have to be triple for this to work.

''{A touch-tone telephone is heard dialing. The telephone line rings and Strong Bad's answering machine picks up}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Thank you for calling attractive Strong Bad. If you have any information regarding my missing and full-on favorite fold-em-up computer, please leave your name and number. And if you have any hot lixx, please shred them after the tone.

''{The answering machine beeps}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{in a very deep, seemingly disguised voice}'' Hello, Strong Bad. I'm waiting for you. ''{coughs, and begins speaking in normal voice}'' Oh, excuse me! I had one of those spit bubbles stuck in my throat. Anyways, I'm waiting for you here at the bus station. I just got back from my trip to the Regrettable History Museum. And you were supposed to pick me up... 3 days ago! I guess I'll just be waitin' for you here at the staysh. Listen to me: I've been here so long I'm on a nickname basis with the bus station.

''{The answering machine beeps}''

''{a distorted guitar plays clumsy licks, ending in a downward slide}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Ow! In case your mind wasn't totally blown by that blathering solo, my name's "Furious Fingers," from Los Angeles. I'm from L.A.! I own seventeen guitars, with a combined total of forty-three necks. I can provide my own leather pants, and a really cool castle where we can shoot all our videos. Oh, and I also did not eat your laptop computer. Gimme a call, "Furious Fingers", "Ow", "Leather pants", "from L.A."

''{The answering machine beeps}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sounding exactly like [[Marzipan]]}'' Hi, Strong Bad. This is your next-door neighbor the crocodile. Can I borrow a cup of sugar?

*When Strong Sad says "Regrettable History Museum", click on the picture of Lappy to see a postcard from the museum.
*At the end, click on the yellow paper showing the left half of Dolph Hauldhagen to hear his answering machine recording.

:'''DOLPH HAULDHAGEN:''' Thank you for calling Dolph Hauldhagen, the Instruc-TOR. How many times a day do you ask yourself, "Why do I suck?" I firmly believe that with my battle axe lessons, we can cut that down to two or three. Meet me Wednesday nights at 6 PM in Monty Gym. Oh, and leave your axe in your car until the Pilates class is over. Man, those chicks scare easy.

==Fun Facts==
===Remarks===
*This short doesn't have any "Back" button at the end.
*Despite stating that his class is on Wednesday evenings at 6pm, Dolph's flyer in the short still reads "Sat. 6am-9am".
*Despite Strong Bad's Lappy being stolen, the Lappy still appears on the Strong Bad Email page.

===Inside References===
*A Dolph Hauldhagen flyer, previously seen in [[other days]], can be seen in the background.
*The [[Limozeen]] poster is from the [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]] CD booklet.
**It features a reappearance of the [[Donnie Chapman]] photographs from [[monster truck]].
*The poster in the top right corner with "Wednesday" on it is also featured on the CD booklet. It advertises "Strong Bad live in [[West Rekjavik]]".
*The "Dull Items Inc." business card feaures a caricature of Strong Sad's head and mentions "pro loitering". This is a reference to Strong Sad being "The Lurker" at Strong Bad's [[garage sale]].

You should have trading cards...With a stick of gum in them.

''{Strong Bad says "Another freakin' guy named Daniel" instead of "Daniel" and "not safe, in Canada" instead of "N.S. CANADA".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing and whispering}'' Oh! Thanks for the tip, Daniel. I'll lay low here in the states for a while until things cool off. ''{clears screen, talking normally}'' Daniel, trading cards are the biggest waste of not a video game on the planet! In fact, I thought trading cards were outlawed the day they invented good graphics. As for that "gum" that comes with them, I'm pretty sure they replaced that with a pink piece of balsa wood back in the early 80's and nobody ever noticed. So, no, I shouldn't have trading cards. But most of the other idiots round here have engaged in some form of trading cardery. Let's rag on them, shall we?

''{A small area of the top of Strong Bad's computer desk is shown, and trading cards are put on it as Strong Bad introduces them.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' First up is Coach Z's line of vaguely sportsish managerial cards. What self-respecting twelve-year-old doesn't want to collect pictures of the smelly old men behind their favorite sports teams? And who could resist memorizing all these fabulous stats? Ooh, a record high 23 butt pats in '84.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad on his Lappy, with Homestar Runner next to him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' And, who do you think was the lucky recipient of all those butt pats 'cept a one?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let me guess, it—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{interrupting}'' No, it was me. It was like I was made to hustle that season.

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, who got that last butt pat?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. I think he gave himself that one. He's re-known for his self-butt pats.

''{closeup of Strong Bad's head}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, ''known'' in seven states.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' What?

''{Cut back to Strong Bad typing on his Lappy. He clears the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Next up, we got the Cheat's trading card game, which is really more like a trading card activity or trading card goings-on, because the word 'game' implies fun and enjoyment.

''{Cut to the top of Strong Bad's computer desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' And you won't find none of that here.

''{Wipe to 20X6 the field with Stinkoman and Cheatball.}''

'''STINKOMAN''': CHEATBALL POISON RAIN VORNADO!!!

''{He throws the Cheatball toward the screen.}''

'''CHEATBALL''': Cheatball!

''{It explodes in a green cloud of gas. As it dissipates, numbers appear in the four corners of the screen and change rapidly. The words "PLAY GET!" flashes on the screen and the 20X6 credit song plays}''

'''STINKOMAN''': Uhm, so, did I win? Does anyone know how this game works?

''{Wipe back to the top of Strong Bad's computer desk with trading cards lying on it.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' I'll trade you your Cheatball card for my Deathly Pallor Lonely Lurker Attack card.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad on his Lappy, with Homestar Runner next to him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Homestar, those aren't even from the same lame game. Or SLG.

''{closeup of Strong Bad's head}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''Your'' game is for musky nerds to play in the basement of the freshman dorms. This cutesy Japanesey game is for little kids to play during recess, to make sure they don't get any real exercise.

''{Cut back to Strong Bad on his Lappy, with Homestar Runner next to him.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well how are them kids gonna earn any butt pats if they don't hustle it out?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I don't think butt pats are part of the approved curriculum in elementary schools these days.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, that's just sad.

''{Strong Bad turns back to his Lappy; cut back to him typing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' The only trading cards I really gave a toot about were...

''{Cut to the top of Strong Bad's computer desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' .. the Poopsmith's line of gross-out cards for kids.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' I'll trade you that Petey POOPsmith for this Marzi-PANCAKE.

''{Cut back. Homestar is still there.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You just keep showing up, don't ya?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, okay, I'll throw in this rare STING of Town, too.

''{Cut to the top of Strong Bad's computer desk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' How 'bout I trade ''you''...

''{Cut back to Strong Bad on his Lappy, with Homestar Runner next to him.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
[[Image:Fan with dimetrodon.PNG|thumb|i fan myself w/ dimetrodon]]
*Click on "good graphics" to reveal the title screen of the 1982 [[Videlectrix]] video game [[C.H.E.A.T.]]
*Click on the Strong Sad card when Strong Bad turns around to see another Strong Sad card.
*Click on the stack of cards at the end to see all of the trading cards featured in this email up close.
*Click on the sticky notes on the floor at the end to see them up close.

== Fun Facts ==
{{checkstuffpage}}
===Explanations===
*Coach Z's trading cards are references to sports cards which often feature an image of a player of a sport playing said sport. Statistics like the ones on the back of Coach Z's cards are similar to the statistics found on sports cards as well.
*Strong Bad uses the acronym "SLG" for "same lame game." SLG is also an abbreviation for "simulation game" in Japan, which is fitting because of the appearance of the Cheatball's trading card game in this e-mail.
*"Firey How to Play [[Deliberately Poor English|Convusion]]" is a reference to the "How to Play" card in most card decks.

===Trivia===
*The back of the "Showering Expert" card reads -
<pre>Coach Z
Crunk Warriors
1984 Stat-at-at-ats
Butt pats..................23
Hat throws..................8
Dirt kicks.................13
Shorts..................3 in.
"Ol' Butt Patterson
once made a castle
out of toliet paper!"</pre>
*This is the first time we have ever seen 20X6 The Cheat's real name, heard him speak, or even seen what he actually looks like, other than his face.
*The floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#kyrandia_series|kyrandia series]]".
*"Vornado" is another example of [[Portmanteaus|portmanteaus]], being a combination of "vortex" and "tornado".

===Remarks===
*The [[Wikipedia:Dimetrodon|Dimetrodon]] Strong Bad fans himself with in an Easter egg was a real creature that is commonly mistaken for a [[Dinosaurs|dinosaur]]. In actuality, it was a [[Wikipedia:synapsid|synapsid]] (mammal-like reptile) that lived before the first dinosaurs appeared.
*Strong Bad's dinosaur cards do not use the usual Ahnberg Hand [[Fonts|font]] for his handwriting.
*The "Firey How to Play Convusion" card's white shadow says, "Fiery How to ''Score'' Convusion".
*Strong Bad says, "Another freakin' guy named Daniel," but at the time of this email, there had been only one other [[Strong_Bad_Email_By_Name_of_Sender#D|email sender]] by the name of Daniel. However, there had been ten senders with names that are variations of Daniel; i.e. Dan and Danny.
*If the Flash is viewed externally such that the parts outside the frame can be seen, it can be seen that even though he is out of the frame at the time, Homestar jumps slightly and has mouth movement for his line "What?"

===Goofs===
[[Image:SB_Dino_09.png|thumb|125px|Drawing outside the box]]
*For a single frame, Strong Bad's drawing (148 more reps!) remains after he lifts the [[Sticky Notes|sticky note]] up.
*Part of the drawing on one of the sticky notes goes outside the border of the note.
*Both notes zoom in from the upper note, regardless of which note is clicked.
*The notes left on the floor are identical, and the drawing on them is different to the zoomed in notes.
*The "Showering Expert" Coach Z trading card does not have a gray border on the outside.

===Fixed Goofs===
[[Image:Deathly Palor.PNG|thumb|125px|Deathly Palor Lonely Lurker Attack card]]
*When this email was first released, "Pallor" was spelled as "Palor" on Strong Sad's playing card. This has since been fixed.
*When this email was first released, clicking on the sticky notes at the end did nothing. This was changed shortly thereafter.

===Inside References===
*Strong Sad's [[Grim Reaper]] costume originally appeared in [[Experimental Film]].
*Strong Sad was known as "The Deathly Pallor" in [[impression]]; this is also the name of his [[The Deathly Pallor|radio host alter-ego]] in [[radio]].
*Strong Sad's Easter egg card calls him [[Prance|Prancibald]], which was first used in [[flashback]] by Strong Bad to describe Homestar.
*This is another appearance of [[Butt-Patting|butt-patting]].
*This is also another appearance of [[Dan]].
*Strong Sad was described as a lurker in [[garage sale]] and [[Senorial Day]].
*"Crunk Warriors" refers to Coach Z's hip-hop tendencies.
*The Coach Z trading cards closely resemble the Pom-Pom Basketball card in the email [[different town]]
*The capsules on the top of the Stinkoman cards are the same as the capsule in [[time capsule]], as well as the powerups in [[Stinkoman 20X6]].
*The "biggest waste of not a video game" is similar to other remarks in Strong Bad's emails like "larger waste of not water" in [[bottom 10]] or "biggest waste of dump" in [[record book]].

===Real-World References===
*"[[Whatsit]] Pile Tikes" are a parody of [[Wikipedia:Garbage Pail Kids|Garbage Pail Kids]].
*The title screen for "C.H.E.A.T." is a reference to the notoriously unpopular [[Atari 2600]] game ''[[Wikipedia:E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (Atari 2600)|E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial]]'', which is often cited as one of the main causes of the [[Wikipedia:Video_game_crash_of_1983|video game crash of 1983]]. The game featured an uncharacteristically detailed [[Wikipedia:Image:ET2600-TheBestPart.png|title screen]] described as being the "best part of the game". [http://www.classicgaming.com/rotw/et.shtml]
*The "Beleaguered: Alliance" cards with Strong Sad are a reference to "[[Wikipedia:Magic: The Gathering|Magic: The Gathering]]" or "[[Wikipedia:Vampire: The Eternal Struggle|Vampire: The Eternal Struggle]]", the latter being most likely as the art on Strong Sad's cards closely resembles that of White Wolf's game.
**However, The "Beleagured: Alliance" cards have white numbers on them in the lower right, that of Magic The Gathering.
*N.S., which Strong Bad says stands for "not safe" is actually the abbreviation for Nova Scotia.
*The Stinkoman Cards are a parody of Japanese trading card games such as ''[[Wikipedia:Pokémon Trading Card Game|Pokémon]]'' and ''[[Wikipedia:Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]''; in particular, the points that appear onscreen during the 20X6 sequence resemble those from the [[Wikipedia:Yu-Gi-Oh! (second series anime)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' anime]], but the yellow cards with attack names more closely resemble Pokémon cards.
**Yu-Gi-Oh cards are also referenced through the Stinkoman card game because of Stinkoman's confusion on learning how to play the game, as Yu-Gi-Oh is often considered a difficult game to play.
*Cheatball saying "Cheatball" is also a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Pokémon|Pokémon]] animé, where most Pokémon speak by saying their name.

If we're gonna keep this, it should ''not'' be censored, but it should be limited to material found only on H*R.com (not the interviews (except for the relevant part in the introduction)).

== Title ==

I'm not entirely sold on the utility of this page, but if we're going to have it could we at least give it a name that doesn't sound so juvenile ("Mom, Billy made a swear!")? My vote is for [[Profanity]]. Concerning the above discussion, I'm against censoring this page. The warning at the top is ample. — [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 23:56, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
:The reason I moved it is because TBC in interviews have consistently used the word "swears" ("But when we get our sketch comedy show, dude, there’s going to be so many swears!"), and even in things like [[cheat talk]]. Plus, it's kinda funny. BTW, I think they only called it "cussing" in [[Commandos in the Classroom]] so they could make the "cuss-mando" joke. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:01, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
I still vote for keeping, uncensoring, and "Profanity". {{User:Salty/sig}} 00:03, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
:While I feel that this should be delorted, if we are going to keep this, I would rather that the title be Profanity instead of Swears. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 00:20, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
::Meh, "Profanity" sounds so formal and stuffy. "Swears" fits the mood better, methinks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:26, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
:::Yeah, you don't really hear teens today using Profanity. Actually, it's more of "cursing." We should make the title that. Cursing sounds better than swears and cussing, and ''way'' better than Profanity. — [[User:Young Roy|Young Roy]]
::::Do you have something against the TBC term? If not, then we should leave the title like it is. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 13:35, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
Definitely. I'm up for moving it to that. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 00:21, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
:Well yeah, but profanity sounds more encyclopedic. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 00:27, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
::But "swears" sounds more H*R. More examples: "Tomkins made a '''swear'''!", "Why I can even '''swear''' a cuss myself! A-hem. Diaper biscuits." — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:52, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
:::I see your point (and my bad for not noting the TBCism). Taking that into consideration, I'm fine with whatever everybody else decides. — [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 03:29, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
:I agree. The title of this article is really embarrassing. [[User:Qduk|Qduk]] 16:38, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

::::Couldn't we just begin the article with "'''Profanity''', or '''Swears'''... I think that would be good. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 12:34, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

:::::I think the current introduction (in which Matt says "swears" and is followed up with "swearing") is just fine. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:17, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
::::::Okay—I just think that the actual word should come before what TBC calls it. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 21:18, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

== What about the place? ==

Since words like "Hella, and Helluva" are considered swears, I added the one where old timey Strong Bad says "oh noes i've died and gone to hell".
:Not to be Correction [[Dan]], but it's actually, '''Curses'''! iv'e died and gone to hell!" — [[User:Young Roy|Young Roy]]
:Actually, it's not really considered a swear if used to refer to the place. I think. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::I agree, used in the right context it shouldn't be considered a swear, except in the case of their using the context as an ''excuse'' to swear. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 04:37, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
:::Dorian is right. The place is not a swear. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:38, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
::::Guess if we can't use the place, we might not be able to use [[Strong Sad|Strong Sad's]] curse in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]]: "...if you get it wrong, you get eternal damnation..." — [[User:Young Roy|Young Roy]]

== Crap ==

What is that doing on the list? I know crap is almost like "s---" but crap is not a curse word all that much.
:Actually, it is. It's what's known in linguistics as a permissible expletive (or something along those lines). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 13:44, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

== Possible swearing in flashback ==

:''[[flashback]]- After losing the ten-step footrace, The Homestar Runner responds by saying "WHAAAAT??!!?&,:;%${}". Random symbols usually mean censored swearing.''

Disagree. I know that things like %^#$^@# are used to censor swears, but it's not being used for that in this case.

Random symbols are used to censor words ''in'' the sentence. These symbols have been ''attatched'' to the ??!!?, with no space between them. This suggests that this is an exaggeration often used on the Internet of an overuse of exclamation points. I'm talking about things like !!!!!!!11111, !!!!!111!1!11one!!1, and !!!!!fortyfive!!11!1omgwtfbbq111. Using random characters after a long string of exclamation points and question marks is just a cousin to these.

Secondly, you don't see a hint of Homestar opening his mouth to utter curses in the animation. There's no audio censorship either. Where is the swearing coming from?

This is what I would consider acceptable to say that Homestar was swearing:
*&,:;%${} WHAT??!!?
*WHAT &,:;%${}??!!?
*WHAT??!!?  &,:;%${}!!
*WHAT??!!?  &,:;%${} (even though the final exclamation doesn't end in an exclamation point, I would accept it if there were a space in there.)

What we are considering is none of the above. Again, the random symbols are ''attached'' to the ??!!?. It makes no sense to put censored swears there. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:54, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

== Yearbook signing- rhts ==

In the [[Yearbook Character Page]] on the autograph signing part, strong bad says RHTS meaning "raise hell this summer" and since lmao is mentioned, does anyone else think this may have a place on the page?--{{User:Collin/sig}} 02:30, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

It could be raise ''heck'' this Summer.

== To do ==

Organize the list in chronological order and by toon category (SBEmails separate from toons and games). {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 01:50, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

== sbemail: the bird ==

how about the sbemail "the bird" its all about giving the finger... which isnt really SAYING a swear. but it definatly is considered profanity and gets blurred out on TV. and it would go against TBC thing of keeping the site clean.
[[User:Del Taco?|Del Taco?]] 20:15, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
:Sounds good. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:48, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
::Hmmm, I'm not sure on this one. It's a bit of a gray area. The email itself is about giving the finger, but Strong Bad never specifically mentions "the middle finger," so he's not giving kids any instruction on how to "give somebody the finger," and none of the characters in said email actually did it properly: Strong Bad can't do it because of his boxing gloves (even if he says he can), Homestar can't do it properly given his lack of (or at least invisible) hands, and Pom Pom only has one "finger" (his entire hand)... there's really no objectionable content in the email at all, save for the reference to "the finger" or "the bird," and I don't think, taken alone, such a reference constitutes anything objectionable. ~ [[User:Bruce|Bruce]] 04:01, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

== Pervert? ==

Is this considered a swear? Or is it just a rude thing to say? It was said by The Baby Lady in Peasan't Quest if you ask her about Naked Ned. ''[[User:Maggot Man|Maggot Man]] ''([[User talk:Maggot Man|talk]]) 19:20, 3 June 2006 (UTC)''
:Yeah, pervert's not really a swear... Just an insult, I think. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Well, it's a bad word kind of like Prick. --{{User:the thing/sig}} 19:39, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
:::I would disagree with you, The thing. It's a word with a cache, but not a "bad" word in the same category as your other example, which in some contexts is a "bad" word, as it names an unmentionable piece of anatomy. "Pervert" merely describes a person with socially unacceptable sexual principles and behaviors. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:41, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

== autobiography ==

*I've noticed that there isn't a mention of [[autobiography]] on this page. Strong Bad doesn't actually say a swear word on the "Words I Probably Said" tape, but it is implied, as Strong Bad does have to fast-forward. Is it worth adding that to this page? [[User:Frickinsellout|Frickinsellout]] 09:26, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

:Are you refering to the "the Deke accidentally shoved me to the ground and called me a—" part? If so, I don't think we could really guess what he called him. He might as well said "a crap for brains" which is already covered under [[Crap]]. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 10:57, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

== Do we really have to mention "butt"? ==

I hardly consider "butt" a swearword. I mean, 5-year-olds say "butt." I think we're only supporting the ridiculous existance of the [[Wikipedia:Euphemism_treadmill#The_.22euphemism_treadmill.22|euphemism treadmill]] here by mentioning a relatively non-offensive word in an article about swearwords. ~ [[User:Bruce|Bruce]] 03:55, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
:Where do we say "butt"? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Under See Also:. ''In addition to the above, the words "crap" and "butt" both appear frequently.'' ~ [[User:Bruce|Bruce]] 04:03, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
:::Ah... Personally, I don't see a need to mention either of those, but I'm okay with keeping "crap" on there, as it has a (pretty massive) page. "Butt", on the other hand, is so minor a word it doesn't even need to be mentioned. You'd have to be some kinda freak to be offended by "butt". (No offense to anyone who is. You're still weird, though.) --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Dorian, thanks ''so'' much for calling my grandmother a freak. My grandmother happens to be a very nice old lady. (This is a joke, I'm not really ticked off. ;-) ) But just so you know, I've observed that it is a bit of a generation thing: the older people are more likely to be offended by "butt" (and likewise with "crap" and "freaking"). That's my two cents. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 09:15, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
:::::Not to mention that "butt" can be used in many different ways (the original meaning was "end"):
:::::*End/edge butt (something I learned in Tech Ed.)
:::::*Cigarrette butt
:::::*Rifle butt
:::::*Etc.
:::::Anyways, we shouldn't mention "butt". ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 12:52, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
::::::Even though it is considered a bona fide swear at my aunt and uncle's house, I don't think it belongs on this page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 13:20, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
:::::::Heh. My grandparents have no problem with "butt." In fact, I've heard my grandmother use said word on many occasions. I honestly can't see how anyone would consider "butt" a swearword. It's just a synonym for "rear end," after all. And of course, you have things like [[Wikipedia:Butt joint|butt joints]], etc. ~ [[User:Bruce|Bruce]] 01:50, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

== "Sucks"? ==

I'm not sure what others' thoughts are on this, but I generally consider "sucks" a vulgar word; I'm not offended by it, but I was surprised by its presence in a couple places on the site, probably on roughly the same level as "hella." Should it also be mentioned? {{unsigned|LuigiHann|20:40, 19 July 2006 (UTC)}}
:I wouldn't consider it vulgar enough to be listed here or considered a swear. {{User:Salty/sig}} 20:51, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
::Interestingly, the phrase used to be considered ''extremely'' vulgar, but over the years it has progressed on the [[Wikipedia:Dysphemism#The "dysphemism treadmill"|dysphemism treadmill]] to the point that it is acceptable even in mainstream contexts. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:46, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

:Well, I agree that a large part of the charm of H*R is that it's funny without resorting to typical devices other animated entertainments rely on for shock laughs, such as potty language and excessive violent imagery. That said, I don't necessarily feel that a cartoon (for example, South park) which does employ potty language and extreme violence in its humor is less good, just different. In other words, I see it less as an issue of quality an an issue of broadest audience. So it's not "better", but it's quite an accomplishment that the 12 year olds and the old geezers like me alike can enjoy this and not be subjected to imagery or dialogue which might be seen as inappropriate. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:07, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
::I think it's better because it's much easier to be "funny" with swearing. The fact that H*R can be at times, hillarious without vulgarity... to the extent of swearing or cursing... proves that TBC are very intelligent.--{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 23:09, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
:::But that logic would suggest that Trey Parker and Matt Stone are not as intelligent, when in fact it's pretty clear from their work they're geniuses (as are TBC). They use a different set of rules and tools than TBC, so it's different, but does it necessarily mean TBC are more intelligent than TP+MS? It's like comparing apples and chainsaws, their approaches differ too vastly to effectively compare. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:12, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

This talk page is about the upkeep of the wiki article. May I recommend our companion [http://forum.hrwiki.org/ forum] for discussion of the subject itself. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:27, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
:While you are of course correct, I can also see an argument for exploring the utility of swears in animation as essential to the understanding of why both this page and its contents exist. Are the swears and swear-like items we document here to be seen as a deviation from the standards we've come to expect from TBC? Are they intentional references to the tradition in modern animation of employing naughty words for comic effect? Are they not references at all, but ''instances'' of the use of naughty words for comic effect? Yes, a generic discussion of whether SP or H*R is better because of the extent of the use of swearing is Forum fodder, but other points are, IMO, germane to the upkeep of this page. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 23:57, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
::I feel like I oughtn't, but since Qermaq opened the discussion loophole again briefly, I'll jump in. I hesitate at the first question there, Qermaq, which hints at the perennial has-H*R-jumped-the-shark questions that come up often and are almost always unanswerable and unnecessary. One interesting thing you hint at, though, is that the significance of this page is not the way they ''don't'' swear, but the way they represent, replace, or suggest swears. Which suggests questions of the history of doing so in other cartoon genres, like [[old comics|comic strips]]. Which gets back to Nik's starting supposition: although technically what defines a cartoon is that it's animated instead of filmed, you identify an assumption that they're intended for, or at least suitable [[for kids|for, kids]]. (And the previous two links could be taken as H*R weighing in with meta-commentary on its own role in these dynamics.) Which of course leads to the question of ''why'' we connect cartoons with kids—what about their origins, political cartoons, etc.—by which point it's ''definitely'' ready for the forum. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 00:15, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

==Space Program==

In [[space program]], Strong Bad says "we spent all our money on this ''kick awesome'' logo". This could be a reference to kick ass, but, it's another one of those that might not really be nessicary to include. {{User:Cutepetsrus/sig}} 00:50, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

==Fo' Shizzle?==

<blockquote>...Another one reads, "SB is the shizzle", which in this context means "Strong Bad is the shit".</blockquote>

I think that one's being read a bit too much into. We can't be sure of his context, he may have just thought "shizzle" is a funny word, and didn't realize it is sometimes attributed to profanity. In fact, Wikipedia gives the meaning of shizzle as "...rap slang word for 'sure'", which is also the general meaning that I have understood in the past. Though the context of "Strong Bad is the sure" admittedly does not make sense, it seems to me that this comment is simply an abstract comment of "Strong Bad is the shizzle" without the "meaning" of shizzle being obviously clear, if there in fact is one. In short, I think we're reading much too much into a word that doesn't have a specific meaning. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 02:47, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
:See [http://izzle.urbanup.com/625718 izzle.urbanup.com/625718]. "Fo' shizzle" means "for sure", but any other use of "shizzle" means "shit". In this case "SB is the shizzle" makes sense, as calling someone "the shit" is an (admittedly weird) way of saying that they're good or cool. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:59, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
::I understand where you're coming from, but my problem with it is other quotes such as "[[Parsnips A Plenty#Easter Eggs|Curses! I've gone to Hell! How unfortunate!]]". In this context, that would mean "Curses! I've been damned! How unfortunate!". However since they didn't choose to use the swear word, it doesn't constitute a swear word any more than "freaking" or "dang". {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 03:54, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
:::I disagree. I think they meant it. Even if they didn't, though, it's still notable that that's what it ''can'' mean. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:04, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

== TBC/Others Swearing? ==

Should this article cover TBC and other people connected to H*R swearing? TBC swore in a couple of interviews, and the end of [[Ballad of the Sneak#Commentary Transcript|the BOTS commentary]] is vulgar. Suggestions? ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 01:03, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
:I personally don't think so. This article is about swearing and references to swearing on H*R.com. It's really not notable that they swear in real life, as (given their humor) they don't seem like the kind of people who wouldn't. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:25, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
::Yes, but we should include swears in commentaries. Those are still part of the H*R universe, even though they are somewhat removed.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 01:55, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
:::Part of the H*R body of work, perhaps, but not part of the H*R universe. ;) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:28, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
::::You're right. They sometimes cross over though, when one of the characters suddenly joins in ;-) {{User:Loafing/sig}} 02:35, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
:Is "pissed off" a swear? I don't think so. It might be less than Grandma-and-Grandpa's-house etiquette, but that's not what defines a swear. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:10, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
::It's listed as vulgar slang in most dictionaries. I don't know whether that actually answers your question. I would tend to think that it ''is'' a mild swear, given that it is censored on TV (more so in the past) and has a permissable form ("ticked off"). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:28, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
:::According to m-w.com, a swearword is vulgar or profane. Vulgarity is essentially lower-class speech (which is relative to your class); profanity is language that insults one's belief of what's right and wrong in the world (which is relative to your beliefs). BTW, "pissed off" is condidered "sometimes vulgar" by m-w. Of course, dictionaries merely chronicle usage, and as such should not be seen as prescriptive, so multiple sources should be consulted. It remains that "pissed off"'s swear-ness may or may not have a concensus among lexicographers. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:52, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
::::"Pissed off" comes from the root "piss", which is unacceptable in any circumstance (at least for me). ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 03:02, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

== [[trevor the vampire]] ==

Alright. I hate to challange one of the most-used examples of profanity on H*R.com, but why do you guys automatically assume that Strong Bad was going to say "what the f**k"? He could have just as well said "what the freak", which would be covered under [[Freakin']]. Peoples? ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 18:21, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
:I posed the same question long ago, either in talk someplace or in a edit summary. The response I got was that "freak" didn't make any sense. Wish I could find that conversation. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 18:27, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
::<s>Wikipedia's entry on "[[Wikipedia:WTF|WTF]]" says that "freak" is just as likely. Hmmm... ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 18:31, 28 August 2006 (UTC)</s>
:::Wait... nevermind. But it is still just as likely. ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 18:33, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
::::Nothing else makes as much sense as F*** (unless, maybe, it's some odd-spelling variant, like what my friends use. Fark, fawk, fook, and so forth). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::::In ''your'' opinion. Look at how many times Strong Bad has used the word "[[Freakin'|freakin']]". Does the situation here merit that he would say "f**k"? ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 18:46, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
::::::Mu, first off, of course it's his opinion, this is a talk page. Second, while he has said "freak" a lot, he has never said it after "What the". What the crap, just plain what the, but never "What the freak". So "freak"'s suddenly no likelier than any other f word, after all. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 18:52, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

== KF'nC ==

I personally think that the KF'nC basket should be listed here, but I wanted to get other people's opinions first.

I think it's quite likely that the "f'n" stands for f***in'. After all, if it was KFreakinC or KFrigginC, TBC would most likely just call it KFreakinC... {{User:Raised by Coffee/sig}} 18:16, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

:Doesn't F stands for "fried"? {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 20:24, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
::Maybe the F does stand for freakin', but KFreakinC doesn't look as good as KF'nC. To me it's too speculative. And yes F does stand for Fried. [[Wikipedia:KFC|Kentucky Fried Chicken]]. -{{User:Jeppo/sig}} 21:22, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

== British swears ==

Do we really need to censor the british word for male genetalia? In my experience it tends to be used at a similar (possibly slightly higher) level of profanity than crap, and is also mentioned in the article for [[sb email 22]] -- [[User:DumbMuscle|DumbMuscle]] 15:42, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I have very little artistic ability, so dont expect any works of art on this page!

==Why I'm here==
Boredom, avoiding revision (GCSEs, not sure of US equivalent), I have been watchin H*R for a few years, been using the wiki to remind myself of cartoons that I hadn't seen in a while for the past few weeks, found it so i could cheat on peasant's quest, thought I'd give something back. Also interested in learning some of the code used just as an intellectual exercise

===I be back!!===
Yeh, took a break from the wiki for exams, which kinda spilled over until i went on holiday (Japan, 2 weeks, absolutely fantastic!), but now I can safely say that i will be pretty much back from now on... unless college is too hard or my g/f starts working sensible hours

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Good morning, Mr. Email, there's a call for you on line 2. ''{brings up the email}''

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

That guy, from that place
</blockquote>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, forget it. I'm not gonna let a little setback like this ruin our road trip. What we need is some grub. Pull over at this next exit up here.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{turns the steering wheel}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I know a little roadside diner called Beneath the Passenger's Seat. ''{goes under the seat}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{pushes CD into player. The edges of the CD break off.}''

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

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

''{The sky darkens}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{cut back to the Lappy}''

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

HOMESTAR HAS TEETH!!!!! WHAT IS THE WERLD COMING TOOO???????!!!!--{{User:Homfrog/sig}} 11:09, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
:I thought it was cute. {{User:Cutepetsrus/sig}} 11:44, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
::Well, that's just beacause you think eyerything's cute hence your name. I however think it's very creepy
<s>beacause I think everything's creepy, hence my name</s>. {{User:Stongbah/sig}} 17:41, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
:::Homestar has teeth, and that's weird...but am I the only one that noticed that Strong Mad's and Homestar Runners teeth are drawn in ALMOST the same way? (Strong Mad's teeth are somewhat bigger.}

It freaked me out too when I saw his teeth it was funny when he ate a lightbulb sandwich though - [[User:Smallowman|Smallowman]] 18:42, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

==Whyyyy??==
It seems like every new e-mail nowadays has a little part of an e-mail that I sent- but mine never really gets answered! Like, a while ago, I sent Strong Bad an email about getting a talkshow- now he has one? Ahhh!!! {{User:Cutepetsrus/sig}} 11:44, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
: Well, I did ask him about a theme song once... however, it was a ''personal'' theme song, and before [[Strong Bad is a Bad Guy]] came out (which sorta answered the question.) And I asked him a question relating to [[alternate universe]]s, but again, it wasn't really related to the 'toon in question when I asked it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 12:31, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
::Strong Bad gets 3000 emails a day, according to the Wall Street Journal. The chances are pretty high that they get questions about theme songs every other day.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 12:35, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

::::Yes, I know. It's just aggrivating. And, Csours- ''I'' care about it, because I just happen to like the Wall Street Journal. {{User:Cutepetsrus/sig}} 14:44, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

==Strong Bad e-mail will be right back...==
The person who said Strong Bad e-mail will be right back after these messages was clearly not Mike or Matt or Missy. Could it have been Jackie? {{User:Cutepetsrus/sig}} 11:44, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

:Jackie whom? [[User:Ppk01|Ppk01]] 11:54, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

:It sounds like the same voice as Nibbles, at any rate. Probably Matt or Mike sped up digitally. [[User:Octan|Octan]] 12:58, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

After a brief listen to the seniorprom outtake, I think that it was Missy, without being 100% sure.[[User:Lord-z|Lord-z]] 12:15, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

:Sounded like Missy/Marzy to me. {{User:NFITC1/sig}} 15:13, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

::Yeah, that's what I thought, but isn't Marzi's voice a bit more 'squeaky'? If you know what I mean... [[User:InvaderJem]]

::: Homestar and Strong Bad are done by the same voice actor, but sound almost nothing alike. I don't think it was meant to be Marzipan, specifically, but probably Missy. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:50, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

If you pitch-shift it down, it sounds similar to Mike... not exactly the same, but similar... the accent's a bit different though. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:55, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

== Easter Egg ==

They only put in one easter egg. I'm letting them get away with this for one reason: There is NOTHING more fun than making The Cheat's tooth do the Shaheeeeeen effect.

==Location, Location, Location==

When Strong Bad says "south of the border flavor", wouldn't this mean the Free Country USA is above Canada? [[User:Nintendogs123|Nintendogs123]]

== Well, There Go My Hopes... ==

I sent in an email talking about theme songs to Strong Bad, and when it said "theme song" on the main page, my heart fricken skipped a beat. But alas, it wasn't mine. Dang you and your shiny last name Shaween! - {{User:Homsar7/sig}}

== Inside References and the Trivia section ==

A great deal of the Inside References are referring to the credits. I put up a couple internal links in the credits, but should I move more of them? Or take them out and let Inside References continue to be huge?
:Could Tim Timmers be a reference to Tip Tappers?
::What do you mean by reference? [[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]]

==That hit the nail on the head==

I really don't like the fact that many shows go to commercials right after the intro, then have this thing that tells you they'll be right back. You could've told us that ''before'' you went to commercials. Also, I don't like the distorted end credis and muted end song just to advertize what's next. Can't they wait until after the credits?

The one thing they didn't do was those annoying popup ads some TV shows seem to have nowadays. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 16:22, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

== First Homestar teeth sighting ==

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt this the first time we see his teeth? We put marzipan's first teeth-sighting in whatever article that was, so i think we should do it for homestar too. --[[User:TrogdorTSL|Tyler]] 20:55, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

== NOLA connection ==

Probably unnotable for the main page, but it's interesting that both the Nevilles and the Marsalises are native to New Orleans. Thought I'd just mention it here. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:18, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

== Fact Merge ==

# In the theme song we see a close-up on how Strong Bad types with boxing gloves.
# The email shown in the first theme song asks Strong Bad to draw Trogdor again – one of the commonly sent emails that will not be answered.

We could probably merge that into one, seeing as they are both emails that will not be answered (explaining how Strong Bad types with his boxing gloves and redoing an old e-mail). My suggestion: "Seeing how Strong Bad types with his boxing glove, and an e-mailer asking Strong Bad to redo an e-mail are both examples of e-mails that will never be answered". Somebody better at Wikipedianese will have to rewrite that. [[User:Swimma Dan|Swimma Dan]] 23:38, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
:Strong Bad typing with boxing gloves on is not a reference to emails asking him about it. It's simply what he does. {{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:21, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

:This does not actually show how Strong Bad types with boxing gloves on. It merely shows that he does. If you watch a magician saw a woman in half, it doesnt show how he does it, only that he "did". -JamesDean

:Then the fact is still wrong, because it says we see how, but in actuality we just see that he does. [[User:Swimma Dan|Swimma Dan]] 14:12, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

== The lighter side of fun facts ==

Should the Mad magazine or the sports show reference be the one used? There are four possible votes.

* Mad, as it's more prevalent
* Sports show, as it's a closer match to title
* Both, as there are arguments for both
* Neither, TTATOT

Thoughts? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:59, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

:The sports show's title is a perfect match. And I believe TBC have made many more sports references than MAD references. So I think the sports show is definitely the winner here. I also believe it should be included, as most non-Americans won't have heard of the show (like me).{{User:Loafing/sig}} 04:46, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
::I am an American, and I've never heard of the sports show. But my friends and I all read Mad. I think we need more voices. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:05, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

== Casper Theme ==

I feel the first theme song sounds more like the theme song to the original "Casper" cartoon than the Barney Theme... or is this my imagination? "Casper, the friendly ghost..." --Tempestryder
*I can kind of hear the Casper similarity, but honestly I think it just has a generic sing-song tone. I removed the Barney reference. [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 07:19, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
== Degrees of Separation ==
Since the degrees cgnu online offers are already listed in the entry for Crazy go Nuts University, we should simply link to them here. *_Aaron_*
:I think the degrees should stay with the email. They don't take up that much space, and besides we already have the lists of credits. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:27, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

==Spelling of "Gip"==
Hi,

Please see http://www.answers.com/topic/gyp (and to be fair also see http://www.answers.com/topic/gip)

Will you allow my edit of [[theme song]] to stick now?

Thanks [[User:198.49.180.40|198.49.180.40]] 00:20, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

:I see your comment in the themesong page. Why don't you note that what SB typed is a mis-spelling? Other transcripts do that. "Gyp" is a slur, related to Gypsies' reputation as thieves. That's why "gyp" is the correct spelling. [[User:198.49.180.40|198.49.180.40 00:24]], 8 August 2006 (UTC)
::You do realise that the first link you gave [http://www.answers.com/topic/gyp] says that it's also spelled "gipped"?{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:41, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
:::Sure. But the second [http://www.answers.com/topic/gip] doesn't say anything about it (this meaning). "Gip" is obviously not considered a canonical spelling of this particular term by the American Heritage Dictionary, but variant instead. Why don't we add it to the transcript with the note about SB's variant spelling? [[User:198.49.180.40|198.49.180.40]] 8 August 2006 (UTC)
::::That first link you gave is GIP in all caps. Did you see this article [http://www.answers.com/topic/gip-1]? Variants are not misspellings, and are not really important to note. [[User:So makey outy|So makey outy]] 01:01, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
:::It is also questionable that "gyp" really is a slur (see the [[Wiktionary:Gyp|Wiktionary]], though as we discovered earlier today, "gip" is actually not present there for some reason.) We had this discussion earlier today. At any rate, Strong Bad actually types the word "gipped", and according to our [[HRWiki:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]], what Strong Bad types is what we type, whether misspelled, nonsensical, or contrary to what he actually says (though in that last case, we also note what he actually says.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:46, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
::::That's why I didn't put the slur under "Fun Facts" - I know lots of people would howl about it. [[User:198.49.180.40|198.49.180.40]] 00:50, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

== Don't delete it, STUFF it (Roma Fun Fact: Real World References) ==

JAY:

Do you have some specific agenda against this subject, or, do you just not think the Fun Fact is true or notable?

It's not fair for you to take it upon yourself to determine its validity. Please either put it back or STUFF it so all can weigh in.

FYI everybody else:

Jay deleted the following from Real World References in Fun Facts.

* "Gipped" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Roma_people#Roma_and_crime|Roma]] ethnic group, who have been stereotyped for centuries as "thieving Gypsies".

:: Why didn't you comment when I said I'd add this, instead of lurking, waiting to pounce to delete it?

::: Besides: You are wrong. This hasn't been discussed however many ways to whatday. This is a Fun Fact proposal.

I hope you can understand if I'm a bit miffed by his attitude. As for his question, a possible etymology is discussed through a page linked on the Wiktionary.

I would like to point out that it only makes sense to mention that "gipped" is an ethnic slur if we believe that the Brothers Chap did mean it that way. But as the annony said himself, this meaning might not be obvious to Americans, i.e. the Brothers Chap. Furthermore, they also used the less obvious "gipped" instead of "gypped", giving us even less reason to believe they meant it that way. I myself am not willing to accuse them of ethnic slander on the basis of such brittle assumptions.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:18, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

: I don't agree. It makes sense to mention it because it's a point of cultural significance, not because TBC '''know''' it's a slur or '''meant''' it as such. Furthermore it's an opportunity to educate. I'm not accusing anyone of insensitivity, I'm trying to bring it to light so ignorance isn't perpetuated. If my kid followed Strong Bad's example, I'd want him to know what he's really saying. Same with anyone who reads hrwiki.org. Believe me, countless Fun Facts are far less "notable" and far, far, far more '''obvious'''. And this '''would not''' be the first Fun Fact that TBC might not have known about. Far from it - accepted, notable Fun Facts are '''full''' of stuff that they didn't think of ahead of time. Of course, they're also full of stuff they '''did''' think of.

::I agree with Jay, Trey56, Cute Pets R Us, and Loafing. The fact is it's very unlikely that TBC meant an ethnic slur. I have grown up with this word my whole life and didn't know until very recently (when I needed to know how to spell it) that it had any (possible) connection whatsoever with gypsies. If they didn't mean it other than the standard "swindled", then it's just not notable what the etymology is. Strong Bad calls Strong Sad a dork all the time, but we don't for a second believe that TBC are referring to the real meaning of that word. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:30, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

The fact remains: unless you (198 or anyone else) can provide a source to support your stance that "gypped" is derived from "gypsy", to counter the [http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-gyp1.htm link that has been mentioned several times], then it's ''not'' going to be a Fun Fact... we just don't quote things as ''fact'' that are in question among academics. And no, a link like [http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=gyp this one] that just says "probably short for Gypsy" doesn't count... it's just an assertion, no actual evidence, and it still restrains it with "probably". If you do find one then it'll probably go to STUFF, since it becomes just a purely "is this notable" debate, but before then it's a discussion of facts and belongs on a talk page. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 22:51, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

I'd just like to add my two cents here, it seems to me that it was not intended as a slur, and is pretty obscure entymology for a fun fact, and could set a bad precedent (to give a random example, having a later fact stating that hooligan is a word that is comparing the person to a career criminal from the 1890s [[wikipedia:Hooliganism|Hooliganism]] which would have equal validity to this fact) [[User:DumbMuscle|DumbMuscle]] 20:23, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

== Based on the comedy of... ==

I don't think that's just a reference to Jerry Seinfeld. I'm pretty sure that phrase is used on and about other sitcoms centered around a character played by a stand up comedian; I know they say "based on the comedy of Ray Romano" in the credits of Everybody Loves Raymond, and I've heard the phrase "based on the comedy of Bernie Mac" used in regards to The Bernie Mac Show. And then they used the phrase "based on the comedy of Gollum" on Saturday Night Live in the credits of the fictional sitcom "A Hard Hobbit to Break". but that last one's just the cough of a metaphorically dying poster who realizes he only has two barely credible citations for his argument. Then again, these could just be a few isolated events and my comments shall be criticized until destruction. {{User:VolatileChemical/sig}} 02:30, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

:As I wrote that Fun Fact, let me respond. Yes, ELR uses a similar credit. But this credit happens as Strong Bad is in front of a red brick wall. That's a direct reference to ''Seinfeld'', clearly. Why then would the credit be a generic reference when it's deliberately coupled with a specific one? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:48, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

::I've also heard the phrase used for "Home Improvement", "Lucky Louie", "Schimmel", "Everybody Hates Chris", "The George Lopez Show", "I Love Lucy", "Fat Albert" and even "Merv the Perv" on Saturday Night Live. A simple Google search will show anyone that people use this phrase tons of times unrelated to Jerry Seinfeld! It may be a partial reference in the email seeing as the phrase is also used referring to "Seinfeld" but not completely! {{User:VolatileChemical/sig}} 12:30, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

==Live Studio Audience==
Does anyone else feel it's worth mentioning that this is the second time that the claim has been made that Strong Bad Emails are filmed before a live studio audience? Strong Bad said that at the begining of super powers.--[[User:71.14.74.35|71.14.74.35]] 17:49, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

:Second ocurrences usually aren't worth noting.

[[User:So makey outy|So makey outy]] 00:30, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

::I'd say "unnotable" at this point. The [[super powers]] line was a one-off, and this one was clearly a reference to TV shows. If it occurs again, perhaps then it'll be notable. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 01:16, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

== Unaired pilot? ==

The reference to 'the best clips they show are from the un-aired pilot that you'll never see' reminds me of Firefly. The opening sequence of that was filled with clips from the show's pilot which wasn't aired, and Strong Bad is floating in space as he says it, which also resembles Firefly's pilot.

: I agree. I expected to see this on the Article page as an Outside Reference, but maybe it's too vague a reference for that.

::I think it is. I can't think of titles, but i know there are a number of shows where this is true, especially in the first season of the show where there's little footage to choose from.

While singing the opening theme, when Strong Bad types the .exe to 'brow-ser', you only hear him hitting the keyboard three times. But, he types in 4 letters. The '.', the two 'e's, and the 'x'.

:''The song Strong Bad sings at the beginning and end of this email refers to a "rainstorm in your browser," but e-mail is usually viewed in a separate email client, not a browser. (Although webmail services do exist, Strong Bad does not appear to be using one.)''

This is not a STUFF question, because it's still a question of whether we are interpreting the toon correctly, not whether it's a fun enough fact. Specifically, the issue is whether we believe Strong Bad is referring to himself or us. I believe he's referring to us and our browsers, not his email client. If the consensus of this discussion should be that he's talking about this email client, only ''then'' would it be appropriate to STUFF it to decide whether it's notable enough to list. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:50, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

== The lighter side of fun facts ==

Should the Mad magazine or the sports show reference be the one used? There are four possible votes.

* Mad, as it's more prevalent
* Sports show, as it's a closer match to title
* Both, as there are arguments for both
* Neither, TTATOT

Thoughts? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:59, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

:The sports show's title is a perfect match. And I believe TBC have made many more sports references than MAD references. So I think the sports show is definitely the winner here. I also believe it should be included, as most non-Americans won't have heard of the show (like me).{{User:Loafing/sig}} 04:46, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

:I see your comment in the themesong page. Why don't you note that what SB typed is a mis-spelling? Other transcripts do that. "Gyp" is a slur, related to Gypsies' reputation as thieves. That's why "gyp" is the correct spelling. [[User:198.49.180.40|198.49.180.40 00:24]], 8 August 2006 (UTC)

I hope you can understand if I'm a bit miffed by his attitude. As for his question, a possible etymology is discussed through a page linked on the Wiktionary.

I would like to point out that it only makes sense to mention that "gipped" is an ethnic slur if we believe that the Brothers Chap did mean it that way. But as the annony said himself, this meaning might not be obvious to Americans, i.e. the Brothers Chap. Furthermore, they also used the less obvious "gipped" instead of "gypped", giving us even less reason to believe they meant it that way. I myself am not willing to accuse them of ethnic slander on the basis of such brittle assumptions.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 20:18, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

: I don't agree. It makes sense to mention it because it's a point of cultural significance, not because TBC '''know''' it's a slur or '''meant''' it as such. Furthermore it's an opportunity to educate. I'm not accusing anyone of insensitivity, I'm trying to bring it to light so ignorance isn't perpetuated. If my kid followed Strong Bad's example, I'd want him to know what he's really saying. Same with anyone who reads hrwiki.org. Believe me, countless Fun Facts are far less "notable" and far, far, far more '''obvious'''. And this '''would not''' be the first Fun Fact that TBC might not have known about. Far from it - accepted, notable Fun Facts are '''full''' of stuff that they didn't think of ahead of time. Of course, they're also full of stuff they '''did''' think of.

::I agree with Jay, Trey56, Cute Pets R Us, and Loafing. The fact is it's very unlikely that TBC meant an ethnic slur. I have grown up with this word my whole life and didn't know until very recently (when I needed to know how to spell it) that it had any (possible) connection whatsoever with gypsies. If they didn't mean it other than the standard "swindled", then it's just not notable what the etymology is.

And no, a link like [http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=gyp this one] that just says "probably short for Gypsy" doesn't count... it's just an assertion, no actual evidence, and it still restrains it with "probably".

== Based on the comedy of... ==

I don't think that's just a reference to Jerry Seinfeld. I'm pretty sure that phrase is used on and about other sitcoms centered around a character played by a stand up comedian; I know they say "based on the comedy of Ray Romano" in the credits of Everybody Loves Raymond, and I've heard the phrase "based on the comedy of Bernie Mac" used in regards to The Bernie Mac Show. And then they used the phrase "based on the comedy of Gollum" on Saturday Night Live in the credits of the fictional sitcom "A Hard Hobbit to Break". but that last one's just the cough of a metaphorically dying poster who realizes he only has two barely credible citations for his argument. Then again, these could just be a few isolated events and my comments shall be criticized until destruction. {{User:VolatileChemical/sig}} 02:30, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

:As I wrote that Fun Fact, let me respond. Yes, ELR uses a similar credit. But this credit happens as Strong Bad is in front of a red brick wall. That's a direct reference to ''Seinfeld'', clearly.

The reference to 'the best clips they show are from the un-aired pilot that you'll never see' reminds me of Firefly. The opening sequence of that was filled with clips from the show's pilot which wasn't aired, and Strong Bad is floating in space as he says it, which also resembles Firefly's pilot.

: I agree. I expected to see this on the Article page as an Outside Reference, but maybe it's too vague a reference for that.

::I think it is. I can't think of titles, but i know there are a number of shows where this is true, especially in the first season of the show where there's little footage to choose from.

:''The song Strong Bad sings at the beginning and end of this email refers to a "rainstorm in your browser," but e-mail is usually viewed in a separate email client, not a browser. (Although webmail services do exist, Strong Bad does not appear to be using one.)''

This is not a STUFF question, because it's still a question of whether we are interpreting the toon correctly, not whether it's a fun enough fact. Specifically, the issue is whether we believe Strong Bad is referring to himself or us. I believe he's referring to us and our browsers, not his email client.

Does this reference any particular video game?

::I don't think it refers to any video game, he's just making up a cheat code. [[User:Swimma Dan|Swimma Dan]] 22:59, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
::I agree with Swimma Dan. The Metroid and Zelda references don't make sense because you have to press Start before hand. That's not Up, A, Start, that's Start, A, Up. And if we're going to accept Kirby's Dream Land, where it's Up, A, Select, then are we going to accept codes that go Up, B, Start, or Down, A, Start, or A, Up, Start? Unless someone can find a game code that goes exactly "Up, A, Start", I think this should be changed to a more general reference about video game codes. [[User:70.224.249.166|70.224.249.166]] 00:46, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
:::Agreed, I figured it was just a generic cheat code thing, not a reference to a specific game. The Zelda reference might make sense, but I think the Kirby one is really stretching it (it's not even the same code!). As for the Metroid thing, I'm probably going to make myself sound really stupid here, but didn't Metroid use ''passwords'', not save files? At least the US version did. {{User:Saturn/sig}} 01:23, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
::::Metroid did use passwords, Mr. Saturn. However, if you paused and hit Up+A on Controller 2, you would get brought to the password screen, and you can restart the game from there.

:::::I'd have to agree with the Generic Game Code people. We could make a poll though {{User:Cutepetsrus/sig}} 12:46, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
::::::Another point in favor of a reference to the Zelda games and Metroid is that it fits the context. In the games, you would want to save your progress using this trick before you went in to a dungeon or some place where you might die. In the toon, Strong Bad urges swimmers who have just eaten to do this before they reenter the pool, presumably so that if they died they could start again from the point right before entering the pool.

== Mr. Chek(h)ov ==

I'm pretty sure this is a double reference to both the writer and the Star Trek character. Yeah, they're spelled differently, but who ever calls Anton Chekhov "Mr. Chekhov"? However, Kirk did call his Chekov "Mr." all the time...
:It's not going to be TTATOT. If they were referencing Star Trek, they'd have spelled it Chekov. They didn't, so I doubt it's a ST reference at all, especially as Chekhov is even more famous. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:03, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
::Not only that, but Anoton Chekhov is someone Strong Sad would be reading. It's Strong Sad. I mean, come on.{{User:Bassbone/sig}} 07:38, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
:::Yes. Obviously, Strong Sad would read Chekhov. So it's a reference to the author. But nobody calls Anton Chekhov "Mr.". That is obviously (I think) a reference to the Star Trek character. It's a joke. And I think that it's worth putting in the explanation because many people won't know what it's about. {{User:Loafing/sig}} 09:27, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
I removed the Chekov reference based on points above. It's this, that and the other thing if it's a reference to both. And it's spelled like the author, not the navigator, so it's clear which was being referenced. Now, IF "Mr. Chekov" is included, I can live with it, but not without. Otherwise it's like saying that Monkey D is a reference to Sunny D, Tenacious D and Sandra Dee. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:23, 1 August 2006 (UTC) (Add: And by "living with it" I am saying I still don't agree, but can let it go. But we're a bit too generous in claiming what's a reference around here. Without an explanation of why "Mr. Chechov" might be referring to a guy with a differently-spelled name, it seems out of place and random, and reduces the knowledge-base-ness of the page.)
:Nice, we were working on it at the same time... I reckon "Mr. Checkov" is simply such an iconic name that "Mr. Chekhov" is an obvious reference for someone who knows Star Trek. And there have been made enough ST references by TBC that I believe they do know ST. {{User:Loafing/sig}} 09:33, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
::Yup; sorry Qermaq, but I gotta disagree with you on this one. If it's not a reference, it's a goof, and I'd like to think they know how to spell it. Plus, suppose they were simply thinking of Chekhov, and Chekov never entered their minds; why choose the "Mr." title? It's a strange choice for an anthology or biography. And it would be a stranger coincidence for it to mirror the Star Trek usage accidentally. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 16:35, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

--I think it is a refrence to that, and many other TV shows where the charecters go to a second floor, basement, pool, etc.

Or, maybe it was like my school, where there was no elevator, and there was no swimming pool, but all the freshman were sold swimming pool passes and elevator passes by the upperclassmen.

Someone, perhaps anonymous above, added a Fun Fact linkin SB's line to a supposedly common prank by upperclassmen of making freshmen believe in nonexistant pools or elevators.

:::::When I saw it, I immediately thought of Saved By The Bell. I've been watching the sbemails for a long time, and I hadn't remembered the pool. Even if they remembered that it was there, the average viewer has never heard of them having a pool, so for SB to say that the pool's always there and they use it all the time seems on par with suddenly announcing Bayside had an elevator, and it's been there all along and people use it all the time.

:I, for one, have heard of this prank as far back as sixteen years ago, and when I first heard it in junior high it was presented as something that had been making the rounds for quite a while. When we got to high school, we always joked about how the gag didn't exactly work there (because that building did in fact have an elevator, albeit not one open to normal student use). — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:52, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't think it's a reference to any particular TV show. My wife has very thin, natural blond hair, and when she was young and at the pool all the time, her hair would turn very green.

Essentially he is speaking directly ''for TBC'' and addressing the real viewers—you and me—about an apparently common misconception ''outside the continuity'' of the actual email. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:44, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

:::::Other instances include The Cheat's watching [[huttah]] on his computer. But never mind the "live" bit; it's secondary to my point.

(I have also heard it said that the first wall is letting the characters know the script, 2nd is awareness that thy are in a play, 3rd is ability to change anything based on these, and 4th is audience involvement, but i dont accept this) -- The annony formerly known as DumbMuscle (sister's compy due to technical problems)

== Sou' Sou'west or South Southwest? ==

In the second Easter Eggs, Strong Sad clearly says "sou' sou'west" instead of "south southwest". Is this a reference to something? I recall similar pronounciations for compass points in the movie "Master and Commander", is it old British Navy jargon? At any rate, I changed the transcript (without explaination, my bad) to reflect this contraction but it was reverted, so I figured I'd start a discussion topic on it.--[[User:Adrock|Adrock]] 20:20, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
: I don't think it's an intentional reference as much as just how it's said in that dialect [[User:Vash Lupin VI|Vash Lupin VI]] 20:32, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

:::Usually, in the Twin Characters instances, they tend to react to each other, I think. Strong Bad's pauses the action, coming up in a separate place entirely. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::Agree with DG up above. It's a seperate instance of the same character, the original footage is stopped so that he can make a point and resume. They are in fact the same Strong Bad so it is not an instance of twin characters. Maybe the description should be updated so that it makes more sense. I imagine for the twin characters situation to apply they must react to one another or it must be done in a way so that both characters are in the same scene in "real-time."

== strong mad-nami ==

this might be too vague/general/overanalytical for a fun fact, but strong mad jumping into the pool is similar to the action of a tsunami, ie, you dont see the effect in deep water, only when the wave gets to the shallows does the compression lead to a severe rise in water level. just a thought. {{User:Csours/sig}} 05:21, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

DumbMuscle: Britishisms

== Disputed Fun Facts ==
*There seems to be a strong hint to the WWF/WWE (World Wrestling). WWE's Vince MacMahon constantly speaks about "giving the fans what they want" whenever unleashing gratuitous violence & lewdness on his show.
**Can we get a reference link for this?

- *An interesting thing to note is that when Strong Bad hits Bubs and the KoT with the "Everybody to the limit" record, the glass cover on it breaks both times! Almost as if he had the glass replaced after hitting Bubs to hit the King of Town with.
- **Or maybe Strong Bad liked that record so much, he bought two of them.
- ***You don't buy gold records. You are given them when your song sells well. He could have two copies, signyfing that it was "double gold" (in other words, platinum).

==The Cheat and Pom Pom==
How did Strong Bad manage to duct tape The Cheat to Pom Pom? We all know from the email "pom pom" that he could totally pummel him, and The Cheat would definitely find a way to resist. After all, remember the fight against Strong Sad in The Interview? -- [[User:TimMierz|TimMierz]] 11:40, 21 Sep 2004 (MST)

:I'm pretty sure this isn't a disputed fun fact. It seems more like a comment. I've added a signature and a section heading for it to reflect this. Oh, and it might have something to do with [[Wikipedia:Suspension of disbelief|suspension of disbelief]]. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:41, 21 Sep 2004 (MST)

:Don't forget this is an early SB Email. Note that SB is less malign in the newer episodes. My take is that The Cheat's and Pom Pom's characters were in early development. Perahps, in a story that could be told later on the homestarrunner site, the Pom Pom had an event in his life that made him rise in courage. None of this takes away from the fact I think it's hilarious Pom Pom couldn't get The Cheat off. -- [[User:brandonforgod|Brandon]]

Here's a possibility: The reason Pom Pom attacked Strong Bad in [[pom pom]] is because he saw the needle and ligher, and knew Strong Bad was going to do something to him. However, in this email, he probably just saw Strong Bad walking up with The Cheat holding some duct tape. That seems MUCH less threatening than a pin and ligher, right? And then, the next thing he knew, Strong Bad had duct-taped The Cheat to him. -[[User:Clever Ben|Clever Ben]]

==Hot Sauce-bul, not Ketchupanople==

Does anyone know what the significance of that bottle of ketchup is?
- [[User:Miss Free Country USA|Miss Free Country USA]]

:It's not ketchup. It's hot sauce. Zoom in. And, as I added in the Fun Fact, I am rather confident that he pours the hot sauce over Coach Z's fries. Yes, I know that this message is likely being posted nearly two months after the comment it's replying to, but it really needs to be stressed - no ketchup. - [[User:Jay|Jay]] 13 Nov 2004

Yeah, it's defnitely got to be hot sauce poured over already hot fries. I can't think of anything else that would make it a punishment. That, and the fact that we're shown the hot sauce bottle twice, yet he never actually uses it on screen.--[[User:KoopaTroopa211|KoopaTroopa211]] 05:48, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
:Has there been more discussion of this since November? An anony just tried to add it vicariously through a friend with an account (a reminder that we '''MUST''' find a solution to the new user block as soon as possible!), and it got politely reverted. While I personally would vote against it, is it maybe the stuff of STUFF? —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 18:02, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Was that sound playing a shower or the fries sizzling? [[User:Seek Bar|Seek Bar]] 20:47, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

==What what mouth?==

I'm tempted to erase the "what mouth" comment in the Fun Facts, but not without anyone else's approval. I mean, one might as well ask what hands SB expects Marzipan to hold out? [[User:Jay|Jay]] 13 Nov 2004

:Since it's a comment and not a "fact," it probably doesn't belong on the article page. I'll move that (and other comments) over here to the discussion page. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 01:05, 20 Nov 2004 (MST)

== Moving Stuff From Article ==

Here's some stuff that should be on this page, but was put in the article instead. I have no idea who said what.

*[[Coach Z]]'s weakness appears to be Hot Fries, but this email doesn't tell us why that is. (This is remaining in the article.)
** I actually thought this was the funniest part of the email - he gives Coach Z free chips instead of hurting him and thus insinuates that he's not his friend at all.
**Strong Bad giving Coach Z the Hot Fries is an area of Homestarrunner.com where you have to foreshadow. The Hot Fries are spicy chips. Coach Z will probably get a very huge burning sensation in his mouth, thus hurting him.
** What mouth?
**It could be more than that - why else would Strong Bad have been carrying around a bottle of hot sauce (NOT KETCHUP) for the whole e-mail? Notice the strange sizzle coming from the fries? They've probably been, er, spiced up a bit.
**Are you sure the sizzle comes from the bag? The showers would make a similar sound, and I don't think hot sauce sizzles like that.
**It looks like there's something inside the bag other than fries... does somebody want to go through the SWF file and check?

*In this Email, Strong Bad harms Strong Sad, which is strange, because that would signify Strong Sad as his friend! (Also remaining in the article.)
**But then, since when has Strong Bad ever needed a particular reason to hurt Strong Sad?
***Whoever said Homestar, Homsar, and Marzipan were his friends? -[[User:Clever Ben|Clever Ben]]

There's a reason for pages like this. --[[User:oddtodd|oddtodd]] 01:08, 20 Nov 2004 (MST)

== DVD Egg help ==

I'm having trouble triggering the commentary. It may be because I'm using my XBox, although I'm pretty sure it should work. I changed the language, but nothing happens. --Droffats

Woah......I'm no DVD expert but my step-brother is a computer technician and he says putting DVDs in video game systems is BAD BAD BAD. My advice: Watch it on your computer. -[[User:Miss Free Country USA|Miss Free Country USA]]

From what I know, the hardware on the Xbox is pretty much the same as that on a computer. Apparently, the Playstation 1 disc stanard was readable on a computer, but modern CD drives rotate discs faster than the PS minimum speed tolerance. However, I would assume that the Xbox does not exceed the DVD speed limit, as playing DVDs is an integral feature. However, different systems might not be made to take DVDs, and could damage the disc if the disc is forced.
Back to the question, no idea. Haven't got the discs or an Xbox. Good luck on that. Delete this comment if useless.

== "Future Stars" ==
Is this really a reference to the current sports photography company, or rather the Topps Baseball Card Company of yesteryear? As a child who avidly collected those darn things, I remember from the early 80's that Topps would have a few small groups of special "theme" cards as part of their annual set, in addition to the standard card for every player. Some of them were "In Action..." or "(Previous Year) Record-breaker". Another was "Future Stars", which often featured a rookie or highly regarded prospect. Looking at this easter egg, the design on the card actually very closely resembles that on those old Topps cards!

Just in the interest of accuracy, in Britain (for th parts ive seen anyway, not like may of you can argue) chips refers to the fries, chippie is the term for a fish and chip takeaway shop.

It's more in order of general popularity and how often they're used. In my opinion, that puts Homestar and Strong Bad decidedly first and second, and [[The King of Town]], [[The Poopsmith]], and [[Homsar]] 10th, 11th, and 12th, respectively.

==Keep==

Do we need this article? It is thuroghly obvious that these characters have '''the''' as a part of their first name. Perhaps if this is not noted in each of the named characters' transcripts, then it should be added, but I fail to see why this is a necessary article. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 20:52, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

:Lets try to clean this up a little bit, then see if it is needed. {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 20:52, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

::Okay then. Let's clean this article up. Don't forget to wash where the sun don't shine. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 20:58, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, I created this article, and I don't know how to use pictures, so it was sort of messy. Thanks for cleaning that up for me. -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|Brightstar Shiner]] 21:16, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

:I don't see a need for this article. Of all the people in the to-do list below and on the page, the only ones that really stand out are The Cheat (and his variations), The Poopsmith, The Paper, and The Homestar Runner. All the rest seem to be general descriptions. The information contained in this article is already on the various pages. Does concentrating it all here really help? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:13, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

Oh come on. Please don't delete it! It's clearly a running gag because 8-10 people/things have that "the" in their name. It's just happened with so many things that you can't just ignore it! -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|Brightstar Shiner]] 19:56, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

:I have no plans to delete it unless there is a consensus to do so. In the meantime, why don't you clean it up to improve its chances of making the cut. Focus on those people you feel are legitimate. But note: ''things'' should be in the list at all. It's completely natural to refer to a thing using a definite article. For example, you would say, "Are you going to ''the'' mall later?", but that doesn't make "the" part of its name. Likewise, they call it ''the'' Stick because it's the only one. The only places where this running gag is noteworthy are in cases like: "Hey, The Cheat, make me some breakfast." In real life, you wouldn't normally address someone like that. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:06, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

(humoungous sigh)....Oh well. Excluding PseudoCharacters like It's Dot Com over there said, and The Cheat (whose definite article was noted on his character page), all I came up with was The Strong Man, The Homestar Runner, and The Sneak (The Cheat related). If you note somewhere on the Old-Timey page that those guys share the definite article factor, you can delete it. I'm okay with it. -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|Brightstar Shiner]] 20:33, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

:Okay, I have two things to say. One, sorry for yelling at you Bubsty. I was extremely ticked off at the moment. That wasn't nice. And two, will this be deleted or won't it? I don't know. By the discussion above, it seems like someone would've gotten around to deleting it if they really wanted to. But there hasn't been action for days, so I'm kind of puzzled. I want it to stay, personally, but let's not leave ourselves out in the dark, alright? -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|Brightstar Shiner]] 18:02, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

::Hey, cool! After six days of talking to myself on the article here, I guess the page won't be deleted! Of course, if that's the case, why is it still pending deletion?

==To-do list==
<s>''The Barbershop Trio, The Bossman, The Dapper Swindler, The Demon, The Football Player, The Ghost, The Guys, The Kaiser, The Announcer, The Yello Dello, The Sad Kids, The King of Town, The Poopsmith, The Knight, The Hornblower, The Bishop, The Blacksmith, The Little Chef Guy, The Umpire, The Robot, The Grape Fairie, The Prince of Town, The Jolly Dumple, The Stick, The Goblin, 20X6 The Cheat, The Angel, The Popular Vote, The First Decemberween, The Deathly Pallor, The Thnikkaman, The Red and Blue Knights, The Three Keepers of Trogdor, The Worm, The Dancing Brothers, The Mayor, The Townsfolk''</s>

I don't think that all of the characters currently listed in the comments are appropriate for this page. I think that just a name starting with "the" is not the same as having "The" as an actual PART OF the name. For instance, "The King of Town" is addressed directly as "King of Town" whereas "The Cheat" is almost always "The Cheat" i.e. "Hi King of Town" vs. "Hi The Cheat!" {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 21:35, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

:I agree. The Red and Blue Knights, the Mayor, and the Townsfolk sound more like general descriptions. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:46, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

I agree with the previous comments.. Let's only put the ones on there that we have actually confirmed have the definite article there (i.e. someone has actually said something to them like "Hey, The Cheat"). The Stick, The Thnikkaman, and The Poopsmith are the only ones on that list I have confirmed so far. -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|Brightstar Shiner]] 23:42, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Anything that has not been officially named, but has a "The" in its wiki-name should not be included on this page (The Worm, The Angel, The Demon...). Anything that has a natural "the" in it should not be on the page either (The Townsfolk...). —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 02:44, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

== Why Strong Man? ==

Why is Strong Man on this page? What definite article does he have? -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|Brightstar Shiner]] 23:51, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
:He is always referred to as The Strong Man whenever someone talks about him. It's kind of a gray area. Much like this page. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:54, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I just looked at the Strong Man page. You're right. And changing the name of the gallery picture was a smart idea. -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|Brightstar Shiner]]

== A note on The Stick. ==

The Stick should count as a definite article, as in [[origins]], Strong Bad types it as 'The Stick', a proper noun. - {{User:Kookykman/sig}}

== The Ugly One ==

I went ahead and added [[The Ugly One]] to this list in reference to [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 10]], which introduced [[Manolios Ugly One]]. Manolios's name suggests that his daughter's first name is "The" and her last name is "Ugly One". In addition, I believe she's been referred to as "The Ugly One" in a sentence once or twice, like "The Ugly One, you can go here". Specific references fail me at the moment, however. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:54, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
:Reference confirmed: In Issue 10, Strong Bad puts himself in the toon to make out with her, and his line is "Why, hello, '''The Ugly One''', you're looking so makey-outy tonight." {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 18:58, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
::It was confirmed before then in [[theme park]], I believe. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:41, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
:::Yeah, you're pwobabwy wight. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 01:46, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

== I think I has the solution ==

I like the concept behind this article, but first I'm going to explain at excruciating length what's fatally wrong with it, and then I'll show you how I'm going to fix it.

What I like is a page, particularly in the Running Gags category, explaining how certain names include "The" in constructions where an article would be grammatically inappropriate. This is a feature of the Homestarniverse that is both somewhat pervasive and reasonably unique, thus worth noting.

However, the phrase "The Definite Article" seems to have been latched onto as a label for this, and that's wrong and confusing. You barely have to read [[Wikipedia:Article (grammar)|Wikipedia's Article article]] to realize that, in English, ''any'' grammatical instance of the word "the" is a definite article. And here we're talking about ''non''-grammatical uses of "The". An article that is not grammatical is scarcely an article at all. I've seen this referred to on the wiki as the "The Cheat Rule", which I like far better because it's more self-describing—this is one of The Cheat's defining characteristics, after all—and because of the apropos doubling of the "the".

The larger problem with this page is it seems to have missed the point. It describes the phenomenon, and then proceeds to list ''every'' name that ever had a "the" attached to it, which is completely different and completely unnoteworthy. Just because someone like The Poopsmith is referred to with a definite article frequently—even if the article is capitalized in writing—that does not subject them to the The Cheat Rule because it is not ''necessarily'' treating the article as integral to their name. It's no different from The Flash, Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen, or many other instances throughout our language and culture where someone or something is frequently named with an article.

What makes The Cheat and his fellow subjects to the Rule different is that the article is included ''in defiance of the rules of grammar'', something that (to my knowledge) never happens to Bruce Springsteen. For example, the usage "my very own The Cheat" is grammatically bizarre. The Poopsmith, in contrast, has broken the Rule explicitly a number of times, such as the KoT's claim in his own character video that he "employs a Poopsmith".

Of course, this is complicated by the fact that TBC are not necessarily consistent with their application of the Rule, as evidenced on Strong Bad's epitaph: "kicking Cheats in the hereafter". It's also complicated by the fact that instances of a name that confirm the Rule and instances that break the Rule are generally outnumbered by instances that do neither. So it's not always clear whether a given name is subject to the Rule. You have to analyze each appearance case-by-case. But here's a guide.

Use of an article (definite or indefinite) in any of the following contexts where an article is grammatically incorrect confirms that the The Cheat Rule is being applied:
*When someone or something is being addressed directly by name (i.e., the name is in the [[Wikipedia:Vocative case|vocative case]]). "High five, The Stick!"
*Following another article. "Out poured...a The Cheat!"
*Following an [[Wikipedia:Adjective|adjectival]] or [[Wikipedia:Possession (linguistics)|possessive]] phrase. "The Foul Stench of Wet The Cheat" "My very own The Cheat!"
*Following a number or other quantifier. "500 The Cheats"
*Very tricky: When the name is plural and it clearly refers to a general population, ''not'' to a specific group. For example, suppose Strong Bad's epitaph had read, "kicking the Cheats in the hereafter" (and we pretend for now that capitalization doesn't matter). If he meant some squad of four or five Cheats that we had met previously, this would explicitly break the Rule. (To apply the Rule in this situation, he would have had to use something like "kicking those The Cheats".) If he meant "The Cheats" as a species he would generally kick, it would confirm the Rule.

Any other appearance of an article is grammatically acceptable (although I'm sure someone will think of a few cases I didn't), and thus inconclusive as far as the Rule is concerned. Of course, for an instance to ''break'' the Rule, the expected article simply has to be omitted when grammar rules require it to be omitted. So "I don't lets the Poopsmith near it" and "They've stolen my Poopsmith" are both grammatically acceptable (at least as far as articles are concerned); as applications of the Rule, the first sentence is inconclusive while the second one breaks it.

So the proper role of this page, if you ask me, is a list of ''only'' those names that have had the The Cheat Rule applied to them in at least one ''confirmed'' instance, which wipes out the majority of the current list. However, since the title of the page is also inappropriate, I'm not going to bother editing it. I'm going to make a [[Integral Article|new page]] based on this one, open it up for comments, and, if public opinion permits, eventually turn this page into a redirect. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 16:34, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

:This page suffered severe scope creep somewhere along the way. I believe [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Definite_Article&oldid=249387 this] is the last version of the article to adhere to the true intent. So I think you're on to something. I don't think, however, that "The Cheat Rule" should be the name of the article. I do see your point about "Definite Article", though. How about "Ungrammatical Definite Article" or "Extra The" or something? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:07, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

::Personally, my favored alternate was "Integral Article". Note that the same rule ''could'' be applied to an indefinite article, although I don't think there is currently a real example of this. Imagine Strong Bad solidifying the phrase "a cold one" by saying, "Pom Pom, get your... nub... off my a cold one." --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 19:04, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

:My primary objection to [calling this page "The Cheat Rule"] is the title. I've never heard of this (or anything else) referred to as "The Cheat Rule," and I don't think we should make up arbitrary terminology. If there's some precedent that I'm missing, however, please educate me. — [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]] 17:58, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

::There's a slight precedent. The phrase is used in the Remarks for the [[replacement]] email. It appears to have been coined by [[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]], the original author of that page. I chose it as an alternative to "Definite Article" for the reasons stated above, and also as a tongue-in-cheek nod to "No rule is solid" from The Cheat's [[Yearbook Character Page]]. I'm not terribly attached to it, but keep in mind we're talking about a usage that has no official name in linguistics because it doesn't conform to proper grammar. And TBC have never, to my knowledge, acknowledged it with a specific term. We ''have'' to make up arbitrary terminology. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 19:35, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

:::Still, "The Cheat Rule" was coined by us, not them. Even though The Cheat is the most visible member of the club, it seems like the name should be more generic. Other possibilities: "The Names", "Names that begin with The", "Names that always begin with The", "Integral The", "Integral 'The' Names". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:04, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

::::::Even more: "Integral Definite Article", "Integral Initial Definite Article", "Integral Initial The". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:16, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
::::Like I said, this usage could work with an indefinite article almost as easily as the definite article, so I object to hanging onto that "Definite Article" label. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 20:18, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
:::::I know we want to keep ourselves flexible, but why should we design our title around what ''might'' happen versus what ''has'' happened?

It ''has'' - A Mighty Warrior. I agree, "Names beginning with an article" might be best. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 20:40, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
::I'm not aware of any use of "A Mighty Warrior" to date that was ungrammatical, but he does appear to be one step away.

There are lots and lots and lots of names that generally start with an article. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 21:18, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Since the discussion about the page name petered out without a consensus or any action, but there is some agreement that "Definite Article" is insufficient, I'm going to "be bold" and move it to "Integral Article". And I'll clean up some of the wording to fit that. If you're not happy with the change, let's keep wranglin'. --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 13:41, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

== An Ice Machine ==

Shouldn't "An Ice Machine" from the Stinkoman game be added? He or it is refered to with the article.
:An interesting question. The only place the name appears is in the [[Stinkomanual#Boss 7 - An Ice Machine|Stinkomanual]], right? He doesn't fit the grammatical guidelines above, but since the article appears in two places (the page header and the quote source) where you would expect to see a bona fide name, I would say he merits a mention. Thanks! My distaste for "definite article" has now been vindicated! --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 23:32, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

== Another instance of a lowercase "the" for The Cheat ==

[[Image:Strong Mad and The Cheat TV Time Cover 4.png|thumb|Strong Mad hugging "the" Cheat]]
While working on [[Strong Mad Smiling]], I uploaded the image to the right. I noticed it was another example of a lowercase "the" for The Cheat. I know we don't list them all in the article, but I figured I would add it here, if only for future reference. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 22:04, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
:Actually, I was tempted to include a complete list of cases where The Cheat had been named without an article, since it's rare and somewhat interesting.

== Da Huuuuuudge? ==

Would the "Da" in Da Huuuuuudge count? It looks pretty much like part of its name.--[[User:That crazy DumDe!|DumDe]] 09:34, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
:Although it is an improper article, with the exception of Sterrance, all the [[animal|made up animals]] created from names are introduced with an article (the red steckled elberming, the pardack) alhtough this is only capitalised in the case of Da Huuuuuudge. There is also no use where it violates grammar (apart from Da not being an article) and one use (in marzipan's line in animal) where the article is omitted to give correct grammar. My opinion is that the article is part of its name due to it being "Da" rather than "the", but is not worthy for this page as it is still used as "the" would be.

==Help ==

Hey there, LePorello. Welcome to our Wiki! I saw on your user page that you needed help making a signature. Go to [[Help:Signature|this page]] to find out about all that stuff. Oh, and about pictures. Basically, all you have to do to put pictures on your page is to go to any page on the Wiki with a picture, click the edit tab, and copy and paste the image code onto your page. The image code should look something like this:

<nowiki>[[ThisIsACoolPicture.PNG|thumb|This is a cool caption.]]</nowiki>

Some will look different, though. I'm not really that good at explaining it. Ask anyone else at this Wiki for more help if you need it. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 16:06, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
:That's for images that are already on the wiki. If you want to add a couple of your own (and by the way, that's all that's allowed, two), see [[HRWiki:FAQ#How do I upload an image?]]. And hey, welcome to the double-threat wonder of Homestarrunner and this wiki! (I was a little disappointed to read your user page; I thought at first you might be a Mozart opera enthusiast; but props anyhow to anyone who uses the word "Leporello" in everyday conversation!) —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:04, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks! [[User:LePorello|LePorello]]
:By the way, I don't know if someone's mentioned this already, but one of the handiest editting tricks is that—if you're logged in—you can simply put three tildes (<nowiki>~~~</nowiki>) at the end of your comment on any talk page to leave your signature (it creates the same code you just used above). A fourth tilde will add the time and date (as I'm about to use), and a fifth will give ''just'' the time and date. And in general, it's nice to edit logged-in as yourself whenever possible, just so you're recognized. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 17:12, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks to both of you! (By the way, I don't use "Leporello" in everyday conversation!) [[User:LePorello|LePorello]] 17:28, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

== Just Stoppin' By! ==

Sup man? Just noticed that you were kind of new, so, I know you've already been formally welcomed, but I just wanted to stop in and say hi! Happy wiki...ing... (oh, and check out your guestbook) {{User:Teh_Frossty_One/sig}} 21:33, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

== Bolding/Italicizing ==

Instead of using <nowiki> and tags </nowiki>, you can also just use apostraphies. doing <nowiki>'''''THIS'''''</nowiki> will come out as '''''THIS''''', the same thing as the b and i tags. You can also change the number of apostraphies on each side to change the emphasis.

''TWO''

'''THREE'''

'''''FIVE'''''

Hope that helps. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 21:50, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

==Sig==

First of all, click on the button on the top of your screen that says "preferences". It's between "my talk" and "my watchlist" links. Then where it says "Nickname", type this in: <nowiki>{{User:LePorello/Sig}}</nowiki> and make sure that the little box underneath it, about "raw signatures" is ''checked''. Make sure you press "save preferences" when you're done all that, then let me know when that's done. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:29, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

:Go [[User:LePorello/sig|here]]. Whatever you make that page will show up as your signature. Let us know on the talk page there what you want your signature to be, and we'll help the best we can. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 22:40, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

== Quiz ==

I found your easter eggs. From top to bottom: the i, the !, the ', the 3, the other ', the ?, and the other i. Yay!--{{User:Homsarroks/sig}} 22:52, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Congraturation! BTW, did you notice that the last "i" linked to you? [[User:LePorello|LePorello]] 23:17, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

:I made a minor fix on two of your easter eggs, to make them a bit harder to find. ;) {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:25, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

What minor fixes? I couldn't find the fixes (though the easter eggs were all still there). [[User:LePorello|LePorello]] 23:29, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

:It's kinda hard to explain. I did [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=User%3ALePorello&diff=226329&oldid=226327 this]. Basically I just made the underlines in the links solid by moving around the spaces a bit, to make the easter eggs a bit harder to see. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 03:37, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Gotcha. Thanks for the sig! {{User:LePorello/sig}} 13:40, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

I actually did noticethat the i linked to me. That was slightly more than minorly awesome.--{{User:Homsarroks/sig}} 17:51, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Update: There is now one more easter egg. Mu-hu-ha-ha. {{User:LePorello/sig}} 21:02, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

I found it (it's a .)--{{User:Homsarroks/sig}} 22:15, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

== Stress Level ==

Can anyone find me a picture of the stress level indicator (the thermometer-like tube) with nothing in it? You know, just the tube and labels? {{User:LePorello/sig}} 14:06, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

:I don't think we have one of that. It only goes from "just fine" to "I quit/I need a vacation."{{User:Teh_Frossty_One/sig}} 20:59, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

OK. {{User:LePorello/sig}} 21:02, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

It actually goes up to "Run for cover." I don't think I've seen one up that high, though...--{{User:Homsarroks/sig}} 22:16, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

KUL. {{User:LePorello/sig}} 22:37, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

no, the thing has run for cover. but, how the heck do you even put images on a page? i don't get it. [[User:Seriously|Seriously]] 21:28, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

== Homestar Quiz ==

That's a pretty cool quiz you got there! It's a lot harder than [[User:Bubsty|Bubsty]]'s. I got 7 out of 10. By the way, did you actually count the number of clouds in level 6.1, or was it already on the page? Man, that question was hard! Well, anyway, see ya. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}}22:51, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

I, believe it or not, counted the clouds in 6.1 (don't ask why). Hope I get more responses! {{User:LePorello/sig}} 23:18, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
:Ooh! I like it! 9/10. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 02:29, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

== STUFF vote ==

Hey there: I just noticed that you've voted on the "Salad as a rock" item in STUFF to accept both the revision and the original. Therefore, I thought I'd let you know that you can actually only vote to accept one revision or the original (but you can vote to decline any number versions). You'll want to remove one of your votes or someone will do it for you (at least by the time this item closes). Keep on tranglin'! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 02:30, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Done. Happy '06! {{User:LePorello/sig}} 05:07, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

==Foxtrot Referance, or am I just a rambling weirdo?==
:About your comment on [[User:Marth 99|Marth 99]]'s guestbook; did you get that from the comic strip [http://www.foxtrot.com foxtrot]? Or... am I just stupid and thats a popular sentance? Personally, I think Foxtrot is the greatest comic strip of all time next to Calvin And Hobbes. {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 03:50, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

I did and I agree completely. {{User:LePorello/sig}} 22:21, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
:Woah! It's not often that you find a foxtrot fan. Most people just say "Foxtrot who?" {{User:Bubsty/sig}} 23:55, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

User's note: the comment was "u r 2 kewl, d00d."

== Latin ==

Please don't dig up the grave. :) {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 23:52, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

:Oh, now I understand. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 23:54, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

You got it! {{User:LePorello/sig}} 01:55, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

So, I couldn't find the second word. But based on the first I'm guessing it's "I doubt it. I drove." {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:33, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Indeed. "Pellere" means "to drive" in Latin. You ARE awexome. (And I mean awexome!)
{{User:LePorello/sig}} 01:34, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Seriously. Homsar ''is'' the pride of the peaches. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 13:32, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

As the quote says. Correct!{{User:LePorello/sig}} 21:08, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Number 4: It's Homestar's quote from Potion-ma-jig: "Thanks. You win!" -[[User:Marth 99|Marth 99]] 18:13, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

It is! {{User:LePorello/sig}} 13:10, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

"I'm a new man!" Coach Z, [[other days]] Did I get it? {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 19:55, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

In the quickest time yet. {{User:LePorello/sig}} 19:56, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

"Dear oldie, Shut up! Your pal, Strong Bad." From [[Halloween Fairstival]] {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 23:37, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Finally! {{User:LePorello/sig}} 23:56, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Here's a guess for the new one: "Where's the ghost?" from [[That A Ghost]]. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 01:34, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

And it is! {{User:LePorello/sig}} 12:45, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

OK, I ''think'' this one is correct, here goes: "I'm doomed." -Strong Sad, [[Pumpkin Carve-nival|Pumpakin Carve-nival]] {{User:Has Matt?/sig}}

Nope. Good guess though. {{User:LePorello/sig}} 00:16, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

SS isn't doomed. He's evil. [[different town]] -{{User:Marth 99/sig}} 00:24, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Dingdingdingdingding! We have a winner, we have a winner! {{User:LePorello/sig}} 00:25, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

This has gotta be a record. I too, am so glad The Cheat is not dead. -{{User:Marth 99/sig}} 00:52, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations. You are tied for first with Has Matt? now. Now just cry out BOO-YAH! {{User:LePorello/sig}} 21:23, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

How about this one, LePorello: I'm forever your girl? Maybe? --{{User:Nckinfn04/sig}} 23:52, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

"Now this is the thrill of a lifetime!" - [[Happy T]] {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 04:55, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Has Matt? got it. {{User:LePorello/sig}} 20:01, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

How in teh world do u bring pictures onto the wiki from other places? {{User:LePorello/sig}} 20:22, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Ya ya, Bubsty is everyones friend on the wiki(like me), but he isn't a freaken hero! I mean, Bubsty has done many great things. He is just quiting the hr wiki for a long period of time! It's not the end of homestar runner! So don't worry. You just have to wait. {{User:Bubyman/sig}} January 14, 2006

:To answer your question about pictures, have the thing you want on your screen. Press "print screen" (at the top right of the keyboard). Then, go to something like MS Paint and right click and click "paste". Crop it to what you'd want to upload to the wiki and save it. Then, go to the wiki. On the left, click "upload file". Make sure there isn't a picture with the same name by clicking "list of uploaded images" and searcning. Type something for a name that isn't taken under "destination filename", hit "browse", and go to where you saved it to, and click it. Give the picture a summary, then hit "upload file", then it's there. {{User:Salty/sig}} 21:27, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

It won't let me bring the picture on. It's the picture of the word "Homestar" on Main Page 4 (on Homestar's shirt).

I think you play the guitar. Right? If so can you please make a user at[http://www.wikiguitar.net/index.php?title=Main WikiGuitar.net]? It's a REALLY good wiki, with no users (But trolls.). Just Me and Decstuff. So please? And it also has Lessons. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 13:17, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
:Well, I don't so much ''play'' the guitar as I ''understand'' the guitar. I looked at the wiki and it's looking pretty good so far. But I must be honest: I barely have time in my schedule to participate here. So I cannot make any promises.

:BTW - I looked at some examples at the wiki. "Tabs" are graphic depictions of what fret on what string is to be played, like my [[alternate universe]] above. But my "Different Town" thing (accessible from my main page) is simply chords and lyrics. That's not a tab, they're different. That said, feel free to use any musical content I post here on the new wiki if you wish, as long as you attribute the work I did to me. Good luck! {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 15:27, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

== Span... ==

How do you do span class and span style for the same item? 'Cause I really need help for my sig!!!! {{User:Einstein runner/sig}}

:Well, span is an element. Elements can take multiple attributes, such as class and style. So:

After being away on IRC I saw what you posted about your little investigation of the troll's IP. I think you're on to something, but don't just wait for them to log on. Contact the admins (i.e.: Joey Day, It's dot com and Tom) via their talk pages. I'm sure you'll get a faster response. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 13:27, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

== Rap music ==

Just so you know, I was being facetious with [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Everybody_to_the_Limit&diff=317889&oldid=316798 this edit], reasoning that enough old rap songs sounded like that to surely make it a TTATOT. After a listening under the tutelage of Pom Pom's keen ears, however, they ''do'' sound a lot alike. Incidentally, we had started a [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Talk:Everybody_to_the_Limit&curid=3232&diff=318045&oldid=318042 talk thread] on the subject, hoping to build up a discussion since audio questions don't often fare well under the straight yea or nay conditions of STUFF. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:48, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Im thinking of changing to the saxaphone next year. _{{User:Bubyman/sig}}
:Sax is fun - the embouchure is mostly the same, you already know how to deal with a reed, and the upper register fingerings are similar. Lower register will take some time to get used to, but it's just an octave down so it's easy. Sax is easy to learn but tough to master. Good luck with that! {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:13, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

#A greeting to Marzipan.
#Identify as Łukasz.
#Something to do with ice-cream.

::::::::::Although both toons are pretty kick-awesome, I happen to like [[Bug in Mouth Disease]] a ''tiny'' bit more than [[Cool Things]]. Just a personal decision. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 22:37, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

**I can't comment on the second part, but it's normal to post in the transcription section saying that it's in progress. -- [[User:Mithent|Mithent]] 04:58, 20 Dec 2004 (MST)
**Your edit is on the page [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Homestar_presents:_Presents&redirect=no Homestar presents: Presents]. I made a template on this page ([[Homestar Presents: Presents]] - note correct capitalization) and posted that the transcript was in progress at around 1:40 EST. After I'd finished the entire page (picture, cast list, transcript, fun facts, and easter eggs), I noticed the other page with the incorrect capitalization. Since all it had was a cast list, the lone easter egg, and a couple of Fun Facts that I didn't have, I took the Fun Facts that weren't already on my page and moved them there, then deleted the rest of that page and changed it to a redirect to this page. -- [[User:Forteblast|Forteblast]] 10:05, 20 Dec 2004 (MST)
***That's all well and good, but you did use my text in the easter egg (at least in the italic scene description), unless somehow we had the exact same wording (which I doubt).

:I had rewritten/consolidated these, but now wondering if the first part (or all) is worth noting, as I noticed the clock radio in [[radio]] appears to be in a different room (at least on a different piece of furniture in the same room) - so who cares if he has different clock in another room?

==Closed Fun Facts==
=== Wizard of Oz(REJECTED) ===
Homsar "ringing" the paintbrush may be a reference to the Dark Side of the Moon/Wizard of Oz sync. One of the syncs is a paintbrush being moved up and down, and a bell ringing.

*'''Decline.''' Complete speculation. Some people don't seem to understand that H*R is a silly cartoon, not a carefully thought out parody. --24.21.86.243 23:56, 2 Jan 2005 (MST)

=== Blade man (REJECTED)===
The rusty steak knife being perfect for Coach Z may reference the fact that he's a "blade man, man" from [[personal favorites]].

*'''Decline.''' This, and the phone without the wire, is a reference to a disturbingly dark cartoon "Salad Fingers" whose title character enjoys touching rusty objects and once used a similar phone.

=== Length Of Grabbo Arm (Declined)===
The grabbo arm is about 3/4ths of the length of the screen, and judging by Strong Bad's height, and the chart on Strong Bad Is In Jail Cartoon, the grabbo arm is about 6 feet long. Since Strong Bad is about 4 feet long and the grabbo arm is a little higher than him, therefore the measurement. --[[User:RPharazon|RPharazon]]
Oh yeah, I used the SWF file for this, and I had an insane amount of time because that's the only SB thing I had during my vacation...

*'''Revise but Accept''' This is very interesting, although we do not know how far off the screen the grabbo arm goes. You should judge by the ratio of the hight of the diamond-shaped workings of the grabbo arm and the length of the grabbo arm itself to find out how long it actually is. Then determine how long it is in proportion to Strong Bad. Needs a bit more work, but it could be a very interesting fact!
**'''Comment.''' Actually you CAN see how far the Grabbo Arm goes off screen. just watch the .swf file. [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 14:52, 1 Apr 2005 (MST)

*'''Neutral''' OK OK. sheesh. 23rd, 24th, BIG WHOOP. just fix MY mistake and leave it at that. [[User:Xhycho|Xhycho]]
*'''Comment''' It has been pointed out that his clock has no AM/PM indicator, and according to my reasoning, he could not have set it more than 12 hours in advance. When I consider this dubious fun fact (It's odd considering...) and the point that I made on the fun fact about Homestar's clock, Homestar could have changed his calendar when he woke up on December 25th, and set his clock to 10 PM and gone back to sleep, because he simply did not realize that the 25th was significant, nor did he realize... anything... about time. Sorry for the long-winded comment, but it makes sense to me.
**'''Comment on the comment.''' That just occurred to me as well - What does Homestar do at the end of the toon when Strong Bad reminds him there's only 7 minutes left? He runs around like a maniac because he "forgot to buy presents"... just like he does at the beginning of the toon. It's even possible that he went through the same thing earlier in the day and we just don't see it. Given the "12 hours in advance" limitation, unless Strong Bad broke into his house and messed with his clock sometime during the day, Homestar would have had to be up no earlier than 10 AM on the 25th. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 21:22, 15 Mar 2005 (MST)

=== Homestar's Clock (Accepted) ===
It is unclear how Homestar's clock could even differentiate between 10:00 am and 10:00 pm -- usually analog clocks have a light or indicator when it is night time, but Homestar's clock has none.

*First of all, ''analog'' clocks usually don't have an indicator, and Homestar's clock is called a ''digital'' clock. Second of all, most people can tell whether it is AM or PM by looking outside. --24.21.86.243 10:00, 3 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Revise and accept''' Not in Alaska.
*'''Revise and accept''' first of all, this IS a electric analog clock, uses small wheels inside with the numbers, i've seen this style before, also there is no indicator on this model but not all of them have it, normally they use a ssmall ne-2 indicator lamp with a 56k series resistor, he can tell am/pm by looking outside the window behind the clock but where are the buttons to set the alarm if any and when did you hear any alarm or see him shut it off? <nowiki>~~Frogz~~</nowiki>
**You know alot about clocks.
*'''Revise and accept''' What matters isn't whether Homestar can tell if it's AM or PM. He claims that he accidentally set the alarm for PM instead of AM, but how could he do that if the clock can't tell the difference between AM and PM? That's what's weird.

**'''Second''' But get rid of the "Homestar says" part. Thats already noted in the transcript and adds un-needed weight to the fact. Just say "Its unclear how Homestar's clock can...and the rest"..[[User:Donny vs Universe|Donny vs Universe]]
*'''Accept''' However, I think another important thing is the fact that if the clock does not have an AM/PM indicator, then Homestar would have had to set him clock after 10 AM (because, obviously, you can't set a clock like that any more than 12 hours in advance), further proving how...ahem... absent-minded he is.
*'''Decline''' I think we're trying to make a very complicated issue out of a very subtle joke - with no indicator, he COULDN'T have set it for AM or PM, in which case, his statement isn't false, it's just stupid... which isn't surprising coming from Homestar. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 20:43, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)
*<Strike>'''Decline''' because his clock might have an indicator light that is on when it is AM and off when it is PM. I mean, my clock does.</Strike> Oops.

*'''Oh, cwap! It's Declined!''' Yeah, he looks outside to tell the PM.... [[User: Lappy 486]]
*'''Accept''' The clock needs to know the difference between AM and PM. It's clear Homestar can tell the difference by looking out the window, but what good is that if he can't look until his alarm wakes him? - [[User:Song from 60s|Song from 60s]] 08:16, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
**'''Second''' -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 20:06, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

=== Charlie Brown (Accepted as part of [[Homestar's House]]) ===
The view of the outside of the house (panelling and steps) is very similar to Charlie Brown's house, which may explain the departure from previous toons.

''This information, while mostly true, belongs on [[Homestar's House]], which it is.''

*'''Decline.''' Complete speculation. Some people don't seem to understand that H*R is a silly cartoon, not a carefully thought out parody. --24.21.86.243 23:56, 2 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Accept''' Some people don't seem to understand that H*R has elements of a carefully thought-out parody, and is not just a silly cartoon. [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 10:22, 22 Jan 2005 (MST)

*'''Accept.''' --[[User:racerx is alive|racerx_is_alive]] 13:21, 12 Jan 2005 (MST)
*'''Neutral''' The fact is correct, but it's less likely a parody of Charlie Brown THIS time. See, it's EXACTLY the same as in [[The Best Decemberween Ever]], which has MUCH stronger Charlie Brown overtones. --[[User:Jay|Jay]] 14:00, 25 Jan 2005 (MST)
**'''Weak Decline.''' ...for the reasons stated above. Since the previous year's Decemberween toon had a very strong Charlie Brown reference, the repeated instance in this year's toon is less significant. However, if you include this item, you have to include a similar item in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]], as the POV where Homestar is knocking on Marzipan's door is the same kind of setup as stated here. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]] 23:43, 8 Apr 2005 (MDT)

=== Coach Z's disconnected reciever (Declined) ===
Coach Z talking on an unplugged phone may be a reference to the film The Waterboy. There's a scene in which Coach Klein (Henry Winkler) talks to "grandma" on a phone and as the camera pans down, it is revealed that the phone reciever is unplugged. --[[User:TDK|TDK]]

*'''Accept.''' This sounds more likely to me than the Salad Fingers thing. --[[User:Chrysaor|Chrysaor]]
*'''Revise, accept.''' I think that a fun fact should be listed that explains both speculations, for example: "There has been quite some speculation about Coach Z talking on his unplugged phone. Some say it is a reference to the Salad Fingers series, in which Salad Fingers uses a similar phone, and also due to the rusty steak knife, as Salad Fingers likes to touch rusty objects. Others say it is a reference to the film The Waterboy, as in one scene, Coach Klein(Henry Winkler) talks to "grandma" on a phone and as the camera pans down, it is revealed that the phone reciever is unplugged. --[[User:Ogog|Ogog]]
**'''Comment''' Talk about bloated - that revision is a STUFF item just waiting to happen. We're working with Fun '''Facts''' here, not semi-random speculations. In any case, this is an awful lot to be posting about something as silly (pathetic?) as Coach Z talking on a disconnected phone. --[[User:TheEggman|TheEggman]]
*Decline It may actually be, but until TBC confirm it, it's just speculation. -- [[AnarchyBalsac]]
*'''Declined... oh, that's rough''' I've seen this joke on Married with Children too. It's probably been used a lot of other places as well. And again with the dreaded "may be"... [[User:Dasrik|Dasrik]] 01:29, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
*Uh, I'm guessing you haven't seen The Waterboy. Look at the similarities:
*disconnected phone
*the word "Coach" in both names
*both were talking to family
*both were in a dining area
That's enough for me. '''Oh, ACCEPT, it's you.''' [[User:Cheatachu72|Cheatachu72]] 20:49, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
*Oh, great. It's another "Change of Pace". I mean it. There is no notable difference between this and Change of Pace in my eyes. '''Decline''' for the same reason. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 20:54, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
*'''Decline''' Just when i sorta regained confidence in non-speculating Fun Facts. There is no notable similarity in this. Its a comic gag, not a reference. Even if it might be reference, we do not have enough proof to validate it as a "fact". In response to Jay, I don't think this will be another Change of Pace, if only because this cartoon did not come out one day after Waterboy. If that had happened it might be impossible to deflect this "fun" "reference." -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 20:09, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

don't you guys think that strongbad is in a homsar costume?i mean, "alms for the pudgy"?that even sound to non sensible for homsar.and "youre a real state trooper"seems to sensible,and he says alms for the pudgy twice!homsar never says anything twice.any comments?-stretchyman.

== Weird Glitch ==

Today when I decided to watch this toon I saw something '''''really''''' weird. THE CLOCK WAS COUNTING UP!!!! And it was counting up '''super slowly''' and when it got to 9 it just went back to 1 and it started counting up normal speed. But when it got to 9 it just went back to 1 and it the clock was counting in that pattern. {{User:Tampo/sig}} 14:15, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
:And another thing, when it is counting very slowly and it reaches 9 the number of minutes goes up by one. {{User:Tampo/sig}} 14:17, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, It Does That After The 25. Decemberween is on the 25.-[[User:Homsar7|Homsar7]]

Is this really a salvation army referance? "Alms for the (poor/other condition)" is an archaic begging call (also used in [[Wikipedia:Monty Python's Life of Brian|Life of Brian]] to give an example ([http://www.mwscomp.com/movies/brian/brian-05.htm alms for an ex-leper?])), although having not seen a SA christmas drive i can't comment on the similarity with the bucket and 'bell' -- [[User:DumbMuscle|DumbMuscle]] 17:46, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

HRWiki talk:List of common misspellings

DumbMuscle: /* Reversion */

What exactly is this page for? Nothing links to it, and it seems to just be a waste of space, as no one is really going to read this to make sure they spelled something right. →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''

:This page is used by MediaWiki in the generation of the "Pages with misspellings" [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Special:Maintenance&subfunction=mispeelings] page found in the [[Special:Maintenance]] section.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 09:42, 3 Dec 2004 (MST)

== Revival ==

As you can see, I have revived this page, and am in the process of adding words commonly misspelled here from a [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:List of common misspellings|larger list]] on Wikipedia. This has already proven useful; I have corrected spelling errors on dozens of pages throughout this wiki. In order for this page to succeed in the future, it should be linked somewhere close by to [[HRWiki:The Stick]], perhaps in [[HRWiki:Cleanup]]. I would appreciate any ideas you have on this matter, as well as any other entries that could be placed on this list. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 20:15, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==Strong Badia==

I don't think this thing likes two-word "misspellings" as the Maintenance page shows several hundred listings for "Strong Badia", most of which do not contain that mistake. (I think it's searching for each word individually, and, of course, "Strong" appears on nearly every page here). Similarly, I think "the the" should be removed for the same reason. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:43, 19 Aug 2005 (UTC)

"'till" turns up 3 pages, and "'till" is on none of them. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 05:08, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

== Reversion ==

Reverted to the previous version because someone removed "Strongbad: Strong Bad"

I'm not the one who did it, but would like to point out that the Strongbad search gives just over 50 results, all of which are either as spelt in e-mail or part of a picture link (as far as i can tell)

{{toonnav|Holiday Toon|dween_menu|Under Construction|That A Ghost}}
[[Image:dween.png|thumb|220px|Decemberween, Decemberween, you're 7 months after you should've been...]]

A series of [[Decemberween]]-themed cartoons that are...in July! Includes:

*Teen Girl Squad: [[Decemberween Teen Girl Squad]]
*Kids' Book: [[That Time of Year]]
*Sweet Cuppin' Cakes: [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]]
*Puppet Style: [[Homestar and the Nice Present]]

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

'''Page Title:''' Decemberween In July Sale!!

'''Date:''' July 12, 2004

==Easter Eggs==

*Click on the candy cane to change its color.
*Click on the green light at the top of the screen to view a [[Puppet Stuff|puppet thing]] called [[Homestar vs. Little Girl]]. The green light is directly above the "w" in "Decemberween".
*Click directly underneath the Puppet Style link to see [[Seasonal Sweaters]].

==Fun Facts==

===Trivia===

*The back button will always take you back to [[Main Page 16]], which is the snow themed homepage.
*This came about in July 2004 because [[Mike Chapman|Mike]] and [[Missy Palmer|Missy]] were married around Christmastime 2003. The wedding left [[The Brothers Chaps]] little time for a proper Decemberween toon, and they actually tried several different ideas out before scrapping all of them and thus going without Decemberween in 2003 (an unfinished version of the [[Teen Girl Squad]] short was shown at an appearance at the University of Central Florida in spring 2004). The cornucopia idea came about from the various abandoned concepts.
*You can still click on the other easter eggs and toons while watching either of the puppet toons.
**This is because the puppet toons themselves are separate Flash files, designed ''and'' scripted to appear within the main Flash file.

===Goofs===

*You cannot adjust the contrast knob on the [[Compy 386]].
*The reflection of the candy cane on the Compy's screen is wrong. The stripes should be going down from right to left, opposite the direction of the actual candy cane. Otherwise, all individual stripes would end up where they started from.

===Inside References===

*The candy cane Easter egg and the Christmas lights are the similar to the ones in the [[Decemberween Email Menu]].

===Real-World References===

*The title is a play on stores that have "[[Wikipedia:Christmas in July|Christmas in July]]" sales.

Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat play a ''TROGDOR!'' arcade game in da basement.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Strong Bad}}, {{Film|Strong Mad}}, {{Film|The Cheat}}, {{Film|Trogdor}}

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[Strong Bad's Basement]]

'''Date:''' March 17, 2003

'''Running Time:''' 1:41

'''Page title:''' Quite Exciting This Computer Magic!

== Transcript ==

''{We start with a familiar scene, Compy. Except Strong Bad isn't there, and there's a sticky note on the screen saying "in da basement -sb".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Strong Bad! ''{walks up to the computer}'' Hey Strong Bad, can I borrow your fondue pot again? Oh. You're not here. I'll get to the bottom of this!

''{He sits down at the computer and starts typing. While he says everything correctly, he misspells "Strong Bad".}''

<blockquote class="email" style="background-image:none">Dear Stong Bah, 
Where are you? 
Your friend, 
Homestar</blockquote>

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{notices the note}'' Oh! "In da basement. From SB." Ohhh, that must stand for Stong Bah.

''{He stands up and heads for da basement. Upon arriving he finds Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat playing TROGDOR! the arcade game.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey guys! Whatcha playin'?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, playin'? No, we're, uh, we're doing The Cheat's taxes.

'''STRONG MAD:''' W-2!!!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Bo-ring. I don't wanna play that.

''{Homestar walks off. The game blips.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Argh! Stupid peasant.

''{He kicks the arcade machine, which says, in a computer voice, "Trogdor!" (pronounced like "Troggador").}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoah! Pretty cool! ''{kicks it twice more, with the same results}'' All right, who's next?

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, fine.

''{Strong Bad gets off the stool to let The Cheat on, but he just looks at Strong Bad, and makes more noises.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, right. Here ya go, little buddy.

''{He lifts him onto the stool and the theme music begins playing. As soon as it's over...}''

'''STRONG BAD and STRONG MAD:''' TROGDOR!

''{The game says "Trogdor!" and The Cheat begins playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoah, nice move! You're the master!

''{[[The Paper]] comes down with a link to play the Trogdor arcade game. After a little while, Homestar comes back with a stack of papers.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, can you guys do my taxes next? ... You guys? ... Man, that's one big adding machine.

== Easter Eggs ==

*If you wait for Homestar to come by and ask them to do his taxes - after he says, "Man, that is one big adding machine" you can click on the [[TROGDOR!]] game to make it say "[[Trogdor]]."
*You can click on the top of Homestar's pile of papers to see his expenses:

<blockquote>Homestar Runner's 
2002 Expenditures 
________________________ 
 
$150 - pork b/w beans 
 
$2,000 - witch's brew 
 
$4,000 - refinance my hat 
 
$2.07 - Marzipan gift 
 
$1,000 - Fluffypuffs 
 
$500 - monthly protection 
to SB 
 
$500 - monthly protection 
to SM 
 
$500 - monthly protection 
to The C. 
 
$75 - straps and practice</blockquote>

:*When you have Homestar's expenses displayed, you can click and hold on the last item in the list "straps and practice" to see a picture of something that looks like a hand-drawn baseball card. It bears a resemblance to the [[Kewpie Dan]] drawing from [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].

== Fun Facts ==
=== Trivia ===
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#manhunter new york|manhunter new york]]".

=== Remarks ===
*On the Monday following [[the show]], there was no new [[Strong Bad Email]]. Instead, there was a post-it note that said "In da Basement". If you clicked on it, it took you to the aformentioned toon short.
*Homestar's total expenditures come out to $8727.07.
*The top paper in Homestar's stack of papers says "important document #402".
*The Cheat is using his left hand to play the arcade game.
*Some of the sounds used in this toon are slightly off from their game counterparts. The peasant burnination sound is higher pitched and the squished peasant sound is played faster.

=== Glitches ===
*At the start, the Compy's contrast knob is there. When Homestar comes in it is missing, but you can click it anyway. It doesn't do anything either time.
*When Strong Bad kicks the arcade machine, the kicking sound effect comes as his leg is pulling back, not as it is hitting the game.

=== Inside References ===
*Pork [[b/w]] beans refers to the Strong Bad Email [[helium]], in which [[Marzipan]] and Homestar discuss the subject briefly. 
*"Hey Strong Bad, can I borrow your [[Strong Bad's Fondue Pot|fondue pot]] again?" refers to [[50 emails]].
*This is another appearance of the [[Witches' Brew]].

=== Real World References ===
*Strong Mad says "[[Wikipedia:Form_W-2|W-2]]!", which is an [[Wikipedia:U.S. Internal Revenue Service|IRS]] tax form.
*The page title "Quite exciting this computer magic" is a quote from the movie ''[[Wikipedia:This Is Spinal Tap|This is Spinal Tap]]''. One of the band members (Viv Savage) says it while playing [[Wikipedia:Atari|Atari]] in the tour bus.
