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

''{reading}''

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

''{As it speaks the words appear on the screen, then fall down and disappear.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And in this one, the player wouldn't control me...

''{Cut to Strong Bad at the Compy, shaking the camera}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 'CUZ YOU CAN'T CONTROL ''ME!!''

''{Cut back to the vector game.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Instead, you'd be some kinda 3-D shield guy with a shield...

''{A generic-looking guy with a shield appears on the bottom of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Some kind of ''spikey''-headed 3-D cyber-shield guy... with a cyber-shield.

''{The appropriate changes are made so the shield guy is now spikey-headed and holding a striped "cyber-shield."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And you'd have to block my perplexing 3-D geometric attacks, or face ''certain 3-D doom''!

''{Vector Strong Bad spits out a rhombus, which the cyber-shield guy blocks. Vector Strong Bad spits another rhombus, and this one hits the cyber-shield carrier in the face, causing it to explode.}''

'''VECTOR STRONG BAD''': YOUR HEAD A SPLODE

''{Again, the words appear on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Naturally, there'd be some problems with bad translation.

''{Cut back to Compy 386.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' On the other hand, it might be cool to be in one of those text-based adventures. You know, for those intellectual people with better imaginations.

''{Cut to a black screen with a green arrow at the top (and moving green lines), similar to the [[Tandy 400]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' It'd be like...

''{reading text}''

<blockquote class="tandy email" style="background-image:none">Ye find yeself in yon dungeon. Ye see a FLASK 
Obvious exits are NORTH, SOUTH, and DENNIS. 
 
What wouldst thou deau?</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad doesn't say the last sentence.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And you'd be all like...

<blockquote class="short tandy email" style="background-image:none">Get ye flask</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And it'd say,

<blockquote class="short tandy email" style="background-image:none">You can't get ye flask!</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And you'd just have to sit there and imagine ''why on Earth'' you can't get ye flask! Because the game's certainly not going to tell you.

''{At this the screen adds "I'm certainly not going to tell thou."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And there's no precious graphics to help you out, either!

''{At this the screen adds "Graphics, shmaphics." and a few seconds later, " . . for sooth!" Cut back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But oh, man. The best thing ever would be if I was in one of those brand new super-photorealistic games that take like tons of migs and megs of memories just to play it.

''{Cut to a blue screen. A 16-bit version of Strong Bad appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I'd look super-cool, runnin' around on some grass, maybe.

''{The background changes to a 16-bit field against a blue sky.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Where there'd be like, um... a rhino there, too.

''{A rhino falls down from the sky and some music starts playing.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' A ''hungry'' rhino!

''{A food bowl appears in front of the rhino and it starts whining, jumping and turning red. Strong Bad runs around.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And I'd have to, I guess... feed him.

''{A box labeled "FOOD" appears. Strong Bad brings it to the rhino's bowl and it calms down, eating the food.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And, umm... snakes?

''{Snakes pop up, wriggling up and down the screen. The rhino charges. Cut back to Compy 386.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So hopefully one day technology will catch up with my advanced thinking, so all the ladies can start making out with their TV screens.

''{Strong Bad stops typing; he turns around as he continues talking}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Until next time, Taylor, this one's for you, and all my peoples got sent up the river.

''{He pours his [[Cold One]] on the floor.}''

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. After about five seconds, the four games appear in their boxes.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*Clicking on the ''[[StrongBadZone]]'', ''[[RhinoFeeder]]'', ''[[Thy Dungeonman]]'', and ''[[Secret Collect.]]'' boxes will give you a closer image of each box and (if JavaScript is enabled) a pop-up of the game itself.

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*Strong Bad's statement about bad translation of ''StrongBadZone'' is a reference to the ubiquitous bad translation of Japanese-made [[Nintendo|NES]]-era games, the most infamous of which gave rise to the phrase, "[[Wikipedia:All your base are belong to us|All your base are belong to us]]," which was from the arcade game ''[[Wikipedia:Zero Wing|Zero Wing]]''.
*When Strong Bad says "migs and megs of memories," he's talking about [[Wikipedia:Megabyte|megabytes]] of computer memory.
*When Strong Bad mistakes Arizona for Alcatraz and says "Whoa... Somebody on the inside," he is talking about the famous jail on [[Wikipedia:Alcatraz Island|Alcatraz Island]] (which actually hasn't been in use since 1963).
*Secret Collect is playable on the [[FunMachine]], while Rhino Feeder is playable on the Super FunMachine. The names of these systems are most likely references to the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] and [[Wikipedia:Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super NES]], respectively.
**However, the jump in graphics quality between the two games is more a reference to the graphics advances between the [[Atari 2600]] and its successors, the [[Wikipedia:Atari 5200|Atari 5200]] and [[Wikipedia:Atari 7800|7800]].
*Forsooth (misspelt here as "for sooth") is an archaic word originally meaning "in truth" but now usually used to express disbelief.

=== Trivia ===
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#bio menace|bio menace]]".
*Even though Strong Bad threw out his Tandy long before this e-mail the text game he created seems to be on it instead of his Compy.

===Remarks===
*When Strong Bad says "YOU CAN'T CONTROL ME!" and he shakes the camera, you can still change the contrast on the computer.
*The ''StrongBadZone'' game contains the "BACK OFF BABY!" sequence, though it's only accessible when played with a [http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/flash.html seek bar] or [[Viidelectrix|on the Nintendo Wii]].
*Although this email was supposed to be about if Strong Bad was in a video game, in ''Thy Dungeonman'' his involvement with the game is only through what he types at the command line.
*Strong Bad mispronounces the word "ye" in "You can't get [[ye flask]]!" English used to contain two different symbols for the "th" sound, but the first printing presses, built in Germany, did not contain the "th" symbols, so English printers used the "y" character to approximate the "th" sound in the word "the". "Ye" (the article) it is commonly confused with a different word, "ye," which means "you" (plural).
*Strong Bad mentions that you can't control him, yet you play as him in Rhino Feeder and in Secret Collect. You also get to play as him in the Egg Throwing Game, Fishing Challenge '91, and Strong Bad's Treat Snatcha.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Video games a prompt goof.png|thumb|Oops!]]
*When Strong Bad pours the drink out for Taylor, you can see all of the dust left over from the [[army|last email]], though it was not visible in the rest of the email.
*When Strong Bad clears the screen after reading the email, the a> covers the text above for one frame.
*When Strong Bad shakes the camera after saying "BECAUSE YOU CAN'T CONTROL ME!", look closely at the top of the Compy and you can see a thin white line above it.

===Real-World References===
*Strong Bad's intro is possibly a reference to Pete Rose's book, "My Prison Without Bars," which was released the week before this email.
*The graphics in ''StrongBadZone'' closely resemble [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Virtual Boy|Virtual Boy]] games that used vector graphics, such as [[Wikipedia:Red Alarm|''Red Alarm'']]. The Virtual Boy used only black, and three shades of red. See the [[#Commentary Transcript|DVD commentary]] below for several other titles that [[The Brothers Chaps]] liken it to.
*When Strong Bad pours the Cold One on the carpet at the end, it is a reference to the modern gangsta practice of pouring out a 40-ounce beer "for my dead homies."

===Fast Forward===
*''StrongBadZone'' is featured in [[Main Page 21]], the vector graphics page, which resembles the arcade game ''BattleZone''.
**The phrase "[[A Splode]]" is used several times later on.
*[[Ye Flask]] appears again in [[Thy Dungeonman]], [[Thy Dungeonman II]], and [[Thy Dungeonman 3]]
*Even though game text says "graphics shmaphics", they added graphics for [[Thy Dungeonman 3]].
**Additionally, you can get ye flask in that game.

== DVD Version ==
*You obviously can't play any of the four games. As well, the game boxes don't automatically come up. Instead, you must access them via the hidden Strong Bad Icon on the Compy 386 screen.
**For the DVD, the Easter egg consists of samples of music from each game in turn.
*Strong Bad's Cold One continues pouring after The Paper comes down.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MATT:''' So this is an email we've been getting since probably the first week that we did Strong Bad Emails.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, and—

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Remember when we—

'''MIKE:''' For whatever reason, we always shied away from it.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' And then, for whatever reason, we just came up with the idea.

'''MATT:''' This was like the Japanese cartoon one, we got that a lot.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Sometimes it just clicks when you read it and some, you just think of a good idea and sometimes you think of bad ideas, like maybe we'll get a really good idea for how to answer the "How do you type with boxing gloves?" email. Dark... dark night.

'''MATT:''' Umm—

'''MIKE:''' So our friend, uhhh, and, uhh—

'''MATT:''' Collaborator.

'''MIKE:''' Compat-compatriot. ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Contemporary.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Jonathan Howe, we, uhh, I don't know—he threw all these together in, like, three or four days, maybe.

'''MATT:''' Less than that, probably, yeah, we told him—

'''MIKE:''' Hey, we had done it early in the—

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' —when we were doing this e-mail.

'''MIKE:''' I mean like midweek, probably. Tuesday or Wednesday, we, uhh—

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Those are really good-looking kissy lips.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks, man.

'''MATT:''' I like that.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Jiggles the camera.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, he gets really close up to it.

'''MIKE:''' Umm, so this is, y'know, like a vector game, like Tempest—

'''MATT:''' Battlezone.

'''MIKE:''' Battlezone... yeah.

'''MATT:''' The original Star Wars game.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Ohh... there you go.

'''MIKE:''' He said, "Your head a splode".

'''MATT:''' I think we were gonna make it ori—if you, when you killed him, he said, "My head splow up". ''{Mike laughs}'' That was the other thing he was going to say. Umm, so yeah, we figured if we were going to do the, uh, this is all sort of—comes from Mike and I if we ever to make a video game—

'''MIKE:''' Don't tell 'em.

'''MATT:''' Never mind.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Nu-huh—

'''MATT:''' ''{slightly more insistently}'' Never mind.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' We're not going to tell you.

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' I'm gonna need you all to sign a non-disclosure agreement before I reveal this. Umm, so this is sort of, uhh... I remember... what was it called? Vampire, I think, was one of the text games I played earlier on, and that's what had parapets in it. Was the first thing that—

'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah, I remember parapets, yeah.

'''MATT:''' ''{simultaneously}'' And I had no idea what para-I remember, like, getting the dictionary out and, because, I thought that would, like, when I'd fin-found out what parapets meant—

'''MIKE:''' That was how you won the game.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, then—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' That was like— ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' I would like, it was like the key to it, and I'm just like, "What? It's just like a wall, tower in a castle?" Umm... ''{long pause}'' That rhino looks great, too, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Thanks, Matt.

'''MATT:''' I think that noise, the noise the rhino makes ''{Mike laughs}'' is just that string on a key—on the synthesizer. There's like, it's supposed to sound like strings of a guitar, like when you're sliding your fingers down, yeah, so are the snakes, and they're just really slow ones and really fast ones. Fret—fret noises, that's what I'm—

'''MIKE:''' Fret magic.

'''MATT:''' Fret magic, really, magazine. Bio Menace, that was a Psygnosis game.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, with, uh, what was the other one?

'''MATT:''' ''{menacingly}'' Blood Money.

'''MIKE:''' Blood Money.

===Fun Facts===
*[[Wikipedia:Tempest (game)|Tempest]] and [[Wikipedia:Battlezone|Battlezone]] are arcade games from 1980. They were famous for their colored vector graphics, which were very innovative for their time. "The original Star Wars game" probably refers to [[Wikipedia:Star Wars (arcade game)|Star Wars]], the arcade game from 1983, which also features color vector graphics.

Stinkoman 20X6 Goofs

Fungus1337 — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 00:38:11 GMT

Fungus1337:

In anything as big as '''[[Stinkoman 20X6]], mistakes''' can be made. This is a list of some of the ones that have been found.
[[Image:hswin.PNG|thumb|i has no penis]]
__TOC__
== Manual Inconsistencies ==
*Kolkaryu is listed under level 2, but Kolkaryu already appears in level 1.
*Old Sage is listed under level 2, but Old Sages already appear in level 1.
*Level 3 is called "Dumb Wall" on the level select screen, but it's called "Up 'n Down" in the instruction manual.
*In Level 1 in the manual, the original version said "face treats" instead of "fave treats."
*Level 3 is the only part to have its title constantly on the top of the page. All of the other Levels' titles disappear after the first page.
*When v4 (Level 6) and v5 (Level 7) were first put up, The Brothers Chaps forgot to update the [[Stinkomanual]] to include Level 6. This was fixed, but the release of version 5 seemingly broke it again. Later in the day, the level 6 section was replaced, the level 7 section was added.

== In-Game Goofs ==
*The two Pooru-Poorus at either end of Stlunko seem to be hovering above the ground.
*When you fall off the conveyor belt on Stlunko and stand on the ground below the belt, you'll still be carried along with it. (However, once you jump or are hit by one of the Pooru-Poorus, you appear back on the conveyor belt.)
*When Stinkoman wears his giant fist, it is slightly larger than when Stlunko has it.
*In Levels 4.1 and 4.2, if Stinkoman walks directly beneath the lavafall and then hits the ground with the rock fist, he apparently deflects the lava with his head.
[[Image:level1.jpg|thumb|Level 1 or Level 1.1? ]]
*Any damage you took as Stinkoman in levels 3 and 4 will remain on 1-Up in level 5, even though they're not the same person.
**Similarly, any damage you took as 1-Up in Level 5 will remain on Stinkoman when you progress to level 6.
*In the "Level Select" screen, levels 9.1 and 9.2 were originally listed as -0.1 and -0.2. This was fixed later in the day.

*On level 3.1, if you get hurt, or attack, the silhouette of Stinkoman will stay in the form of him jumping.

== Miscellaneous ==
*In the Videlectrix catalogue, if you click Stinkoman 20X6, a screenshot of the game will appear. In the bottom right corner, it says "Level 1" and not "Level 1.1".

Holidays

Fungus1337 — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 00:37:41 GMT

Fungus1337:

[[ part of [[Free Country, USA]], with holidays such as Mother's Day and Flag Day. Some of the more prevale[[Image:hswin.PNG|thumb|i has no penis]]nt 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 ==

=== 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.

Basement of the Brothers Strong

Fungus1337 — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 00:36:35 GMT

Fungus1337:

'''[[Image:hswin.PNG|thumb|i has no penis]]Strong Bad's Basement''' is where [[Strong Bad]], [[Strong Mad]], and [[The Cheat]] hang out, watch [[telebision]], and play [[TROGDOR!|the Trogdor game]]. Many things happen down here, including (but not limited to) The Cheat lying in a [[crisper drawer]]. Strong Bad sleeps on [[the couch]], as shown in the emails "[[cheatday]]", "[[other days]]", "[[morning routine]]", "[[unnatural]]" and in the short "[[The Li'l Brudder Show]]". It was revealed in [[couch patch]], that [[Coach Z]] threw up into the patch-covered rip in the couch after eating some of Strong Bad's gumbo. There must be two ways into the basement, as characters have been seen entering from both sides of the room. The basement has a drop ceiling and fluorescent lighting (as shown in [[couch patch]] and [[Strong Mad#Character Video Transcript|Strong Mad's Character Video]]).

According to the Easter egg in [[Nighttime Driving Type Game]], [[Strong Bad's room]] is in the basement of the house. This is confirmed in [[nightlife]], when Strong Sad enters Strong Bad's bedroom from the main room.

[[The Brothers Chaps]]' office, shown in [[Making of Email 100]], has the walls painted with the same design as Strong Bad's basement. The stripe on the wall is almost identical to the stripe in the downstairs residence on the 1980s sitcom [[Wikipedia:Too Close for Comfort (TV series)|Too Close For Comfort]].

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|Strong Bad}}

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

'''Computer:''' [[Tandy 400]]

'''Date:''' Monday, January 21, 2002

'''Running Time:''' 1:06

'''Page Title:''' Tandy 400!!!

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc One}}

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm totally checking my email. Total, man.

<blockquote class="short tandy email">Hi strong bad. This is Trevor from Hampden 
Maine and I was wondering if you could teach 
me how to be as awesome as you. I am a 
vampire and</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And what? That's it? I'm a vampire and here's a million dollars...or I'm a vampire and here's your own spaceship... I mean what the f ''{stops typing}'' Oh no, I get it. ''{sadly}'' THEY GOT HIM!!! Somebody stuck him with a stake through the heart! Oh, this is so sad! Oh Trevor, I pine for you.

''{Fade to black. Strong Bad walks in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hi, everybody. In memoriam of poor Trevor, let's go back and revisit a few of my favorite Trevor memories.

''{He turns around and presses a button on a remote control. Static cut to the Tandy showing Trevor's email.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading}'' This is Trevor from Hampden Maine and I was wondering if you could teach me how to be as awesome as you.

''{Static cut back to Strong Bad in the black scene.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that was great. And who could forget this one?

''{He turns around and clicks the remote again. Static cut back to the Tandy, email still on screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading}'' I am a vampire and... ''{typing}'' And what? That's it?

''{Static cut back to Strong Bad in the black scene.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, we sure had some great times Trevor. ''{leaves quickly}''

''{Fade to the Tandy, which displays the following message:}''

<blockquote class="short tandy email" style="background-image:none; text-align:center"> 
In Memoriam 
-Trevor-</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I'm gonna miss you, bro.

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

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*This is the first email featuring Strong Bad's [[spaceship]] obsession, continued in [[credit card]], [[CGNU]], [[space program]] and most recently in [[Drive-Thru]].
*This was the oldest email ever to become a [[Podstar Runner]] podcast. The summary read, "Strong Bad gets an email from a vampire and realizes the horrible truth. Short but classic action!"

===Goofs===
*When we cut away from the Tandy, the contrast buttons are still clickable (though not visible), and only in the last cutaway will they affect the Tandy's display when clicked on.
*When Strong Bad shakes his head, his mask extends beyond his head on the left side.

===Inside References===
*The remote control Strong Bad uses is the same remote used with the [[Telebision]].
*Strong Bad typing "what the f" is another instance of [[swears|swearing]].

===Fast Forward===
*The line "I pine for you!" and similar lines that reference [[pining]] later became a recurring running gag.

[[Image:hswin.PNG|thumb|i has no penis]]
'''Tits the Tophaticent''' is [[The Cheat]]'s performing alter ego. His Tits costume consists of a top hat, bow tie, and cane. His hat has a purple hat band with the word "Tits" written above it. [[Homestar Runner]] describes him as "a great new invention," and "the most amazing undersea epic ever filmed."

In [[part-time job]], he became Tits when [[Strong Bad]] needed a diversion to allow him to sneak out without being noticed.

In [[more armies]], he performed with his "beautiful assistant," [[Strong Mad]] with two basketballs shoved down his singlet, to entertain Strong Bad and [[Strong Sad]] until the Army Convention.

"Tophaticent" is a [[portmanteau]] of "top hat" and "magnificent."

==Other Places To Buy==

===Local Business Area Stores===

According to [[HRStore:reop.html|this page]], independent comic book, music/video, and other specialty shops now have an opportunity to sell H*R merchandise (The Brothers Chaps say that they must never have a sale on the products or have the prices lower than TBC have them marked, to keep sales good). Find them with the [[HRStore:storelocator.html|store locator]].

===Google Product Search===

If you search for [http://www.google.com/products?q=Homestar+Runner Homestar Runner] at [http://www.google.com/products Google Product Search] (formerly Froogle), you can see H*R products being sold at various other stores.

===Magazines===

Homestar merchandise also turns up in the occasional issue of Previews Magazine (limited on-line version can be seen [http://previews.diamondcomics.com here]), which lists upcoming items available for purchase through local comic stores.

===Comic Cons===

[[Image:Comic Con.jpg|thumb|Some seriously nerdy stuff]]
Merchandise was available for sale at Comic Conventions and shows around the country throughout 2005. The Homestar Runner booth was staffed by [[Don and Harriet Chapman|Strong Dad and The Mother Chaps]]. Those who attended had a chance to win door prizes consisting of autographed merchandise. Freebies were included within every purchase.

===DragonCon===

Merchandise was also sold at booth #101 in the Exhibitor's Hall for all 4 days of [http://www.dragoncon.org/ DragonCon] in Atlanta, Georgia. The Homestar Runner booth was staffed by the Brothers Chaps, the Family Chaps, and other members of the Homestar crew.

This location was parodied in the short toon [[TrogdorCon '97]].

==Fun Facts==

===Trivia===

*From left to right, the T-shirts play the notes A, B, C-sharp, D-sharp, F-sharp, G-sharp, A-sharp, C, C-sharp, D-sharp, and E. You play songs by moving your mouse over shirts.
*While loading the musical shirt selection, a message flashes, reading "loading shirtfun".
*While loading a "Thank-you" message, a loading screen appears reading "load 'er up".
*The Kick The Cheat plush toy was not available for purchase for a five-month period beginning 12 April 2005.
*The footer at the bottom uses a "5" instead of an "S" when spelling concession stand (spelt CONCES'''5'''ION STAND.)

===Goofs===

*On the Store Locator map, Wisconsin is spelled "Wisonsin".
*On the Store Locator map, the links for Alberta and British Colombia are backwards; clicking Alberta references an anchor labeled "#BC", while clicking British Colombia references "#ALB".
*On the Store Locator map, Pennsylvania is not clickable, even though there is a store in the Pennsylvania section of the list.
*Nebraska, Oklahoma, and British Columbia (Canada) are clickable on the Store Locator map even though there are no stores listed for these states.
*The Flash file with the T-shirts does not include Trogdor Lite, The Cheat - Navy Blue, Li'l Brudder, or Strong Sad. However, it does include a discontinued item: The Cheat - Red.
*The July 23, 2007 front page update claims the toy sale ends on "Sunday, August 4" (a Saturday), although the Collectible Figurines page had the correct date of August 5th.
*The [[Strong Bad Overkill Combo]] lists the total price of the individual items as $63.95. However, the combined individual price of these items is actually $65.95.

===Inside References===

*The Store Locator on the new store features The United States and Canada in white underwear, a reference to [[weird dream]].
*The store's footer at the bottom of the store is Bubs's "checkitout" dance from [[Lookin at a Thing in a Bag]].
*The "GARBAGE SALE" sign with the "B" crossed out is a reference to [[garage sale]].
*"Support the Municipality!" is a reference to an Easter egg in the email [[disconnected]].

===Real-World References===

*The "Trogdor High-Score Club" patch may be a takeoff of the old [[Wikipedia:Activision|Activision]] club patches where you sent them a picture of a high score on a game, and they would send you a club patch.

Sundae Drivin'

Fungus1337 — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 00:34:07 GMT

Fungus1337:

[[Image:hswin.PNG|thumb|i has no penis]]
'''Sundae Drivin'''' is a game by [[Videlectrix]], and is a spoof of the classic [[Nighttime Driving Type Game|Nighttime Driver]] game.

The game is only mentioned on the Videlectrix game catalog; it is not available for play. However, [[Strong Bad]] plays it on his greenscreen wall in the email [[redesign]] (in which another hazard is identified: jars of "wet walnuts").

==Not Quite Strong Bad Emails==

The following shorts were originally associated in one way or another with the Strong Bad Emails. They are numbered by halves to show where they appeared chronologically in the list above. Numbers 99½B, 118½, and 158½ are not linked to from anywhere on the site.

*170½. [[Sbemail 169 Deleted Scene]] (A deleted scene from [[from work|sbemail 169]])
*158½. [[Lappynapped!]] (Messages on Strong Bad's answering machine, as the Lappy is missing.)
*152½. [[Weclome Back]] (Strong Bad tries to show an email he checked over summer vacation (in midair, no less), but hits "stop" instead of "record" on the video camera.)
*149½. [[Sbemail 150?!?]] ([[Strong Sad]] tries to get Strong Bad to do his 150th email.) 
*136½. [[Sick Day]] (A failed attempt at an email due to sickness striking the entire cast.) 
*127½. [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]] ("The Email Show" is one of the pay-per-view features.)
*118½. [[Broken Compy Menu|Strong Bad Email?]] (Broken Compy Menu.) 
*99½B. [[Not the 100th Email!!!]] (Secret URL address for anyone who wanted a peek at Email 100 before it was released.)
*99½A. [[Puppet Time]] (A message was taped onto Puppet Compy's screen that read "Probably at a barbecue, from SB")
*68½. [[Lookin at a Thing in a Bag]] (A message was taped onto the Compy in the email menu that read "Looking at a thing in a bag" when the cartoon was released.)
*66½. [[Arcade Game]] (Homestar Runner reads Strong Bad's note he left on the Compy 386.)
*59½. [[Superbowl Dealie]] ([[The Paper]] reads "Due to the big game, the Strong Bad Email will be late this week.")
*55½. [[Decemberween_Email_Menu|Too Busy to Check E-mails]] (Typed on the Compy is "No emails on the holidays.")
*41½. [[King of Town Email]] ([[The King of Town]] tries to answer an email on his recently bought (but broken) Tandy 400.)
*36½. [[TV Time Toons Menu]] (Placing the mouse over Strong Bad Email will bring up a short, soundless email from Stu. See [[Wireless Bizness]].)

==Strong Bad Email Menus==

*1–32 [http://www.homestarrunner.kitkorp.com/sbemail_first.html Tandy 400 menu]
*33–34 [[Broken Tandy Menu]]
*35–40 [http://www.homestarrunner.kitkorp.com/sbemail_youguysokay.html Slightly damaged Tandy menu]
*41 [[HR:sbemail(vacation).swf|Vacation menu]]
*42–118 [[HR:sbemail.swf|Compy 386 menu]]
**Between 55 and 56 [[Decemberween Email Menu]]
**Between 118 and 119 [[Broken Compy Menu]]
*119–Current [[HR:sbemail_lappy.swf|Lappy 486 menu]]

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*Some time during mid-2003, "updated mondays" on the main Strong Bad Email Menu changed to "updated somedays." Nothing like this is even noted in Lappy-era emails.
*On the Compy 386 menus, Strong Bad types "<tt>dir /p</tt>", a [[Wikipedia:DOS|DOS]] command used to list all the files in a directory, and to pause between each screen's worth of files.
*Not including Not Quite Strong Bad Emails, Strong Bad has checked 214 emails as of [[nightlife]].
*It would take 8 hours, 54 minutes, and 34 seconds  to watch every Strong Bad email, including the DVD exclusives but excluding clickable Easter eggs. Including clickable Easter eggs, it would take 9 hours, 43 minutes and 25 seconds. 
*Email #22, "[[sb_email 22]]", was actually made between emails 40 and 41. It was originally skipped and later made and released under the title 'the lost email' right before Strong Bad replaced his computer with the Compy 386.
*Strong Bad Emails make up about 60% of the toons on the site.
*Back in the Tandy 400 era (at least until July, 2002), emailing Strong Bad would result in this automated response:
<blockquote>Thanks for your freakin email. I hope it's not stupid. 
Once I finish these swiss cake rolls I'll read it and if it's awesome enough, 
I'll answer it on the site. 
But if your email is terrible, then it gets R.E.D. alright. 
The Cheat Reads it, Strong Mad Eats it, and I Deletes it. 
[[HR:processing.html|Click Here]] to see us in action! 
Check back every Monday to see if your email has what it takes. 

Watch me while I'm awesome, 
Strong Bad</blockquote>

The link in the automated response leads to the [[Email Processing Room]].
*After [[Random Toon|random.bat]] was implemented, the email list comes from the [[HR:rando.xml|rando.xml]] file. Before this, it was included in the Flash file.
*Occasionally, there is a [[Acknowledged Update Delays|lengthy gap]] between email updates. This is sometimes recognized at the start of the next email, as in [[army]], [[geddup noise]], and [[redesign]].
*[[butt IQ]], [[CGNU]], [[3 Wishes]], and [[what I want]] are the only emails with capital letters in their titles.
*Typing sbemail.swf in the address bar will take you to the Flash file for the [[Compy 386]] era.

===Remarks===
*At [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006|Flashforward 2006]], [[The Brothers Chaps]] gave a list of [[Flashforward 2006 Seattle - 28 Feb 2006#Pre-animation Process - 4:05 p.m.|five things not to email Strong Bad about]]. Additional information about which emails are selected were given in a later [[Late Nite JengaJam Interview - 4 Oct 2007#Email|radio interview]]
*During most emails, you see the back of Strong Bad's head when he sits in front of the computer, which is why he often starts a new line before the text reaches the right side of the computer's screen. However, on the Strong Bad Email menu, you don't see his head at all. This is probably so the viewers can use the bottom scroll button without anything in the way.
*During [[Lappynapped!]], [[retirement|retirement A]], and [[retirement|retirement B]], when the Lappy was kidnapped, it was still used for the Strong Bad Email menu.

''{The cover page of the Original Book appears. The book opens to the first page.}''

''{Homestar Runner changes into his modern form, and the old background is replaced by The Field. A record scratch noise is heard.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Everybody loves the me! I'm a terrific athlete!

''{Pom Pom enters and pulls out a flier}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubble noises}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' A strongest man in the world contest? ''{pan to a closeup of Homestar Runner}'' Oh, sweet dog, you know I'm all over it.

''{Pan to the gymnasium, where Homestar Runner and Pom Pom are wearing aerobic gear and lifting weights. The training music from [[montage]] is playing in the background.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Extra-size, Pom Pom! Lemme see ya pour on that extra sauce! That strangest man in the world contest ain't gonna win itself!

''{Pan to a scene of the setting sun. Silhouettes of Homestar Runner and Pom Pom jump up and high five each other.}''

'''SINGER:''' Showdown!

''{Fade out. Cut back to the Field, where Homestar Runner and Pom Pom are walking to the right.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Man, Pom Pom, I feel great! I feel fresh as a bagel! I bet I could lift fifty stringiest man in the world contests!

''{They approach a sign pointing the way to the contest, where Strong Bad and The Cheat are waiting.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, look, The Cheat! If it isn't the big, fat, yellow blob and Pom Pom!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{closeup of Homestar}'' Hey! ''{normal view}'' W— wait. ''{closer closeup of Homestar}'' Hey! ''{normal view}'' You— wait. ''{another closeup}'' Hey! ''{normal view}'' Wait—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lemme break it down for you like this: I am the very strongest. While on the other hand, inversely, you guys are ''not'' very strong!

'''POM POM:''' ''{looks angry, loud bubble noises}''

''{Strong Bad reacts in surprise.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa, Pom Pom! Let's tone down the language before the contest, huh?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Come on, The Cheat. We'd better go start signing autographs. There's a pretty big line building up over there. ''{exits with The Cheat}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looking determined}'' Come on, Pom Pom! Let's go get Strong Bad's autograph!

''{Pom Pom gives Homestar an annoyed look, but Homestar doesn't notice.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I hear there's a pretty big line building up.

''{Cheering voices over momentarily before cutting to a banner reading "Strongest Man In The World Contest".}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover over microphone}'' Ladies and gentlemen, you can ''not'' be ready for the ''{pan down to show The Announcer}'' Strongest Man In The World Contest!

''{He flips the microphone from one hand to the other.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Let's meet our smokin' hot contestants!

''{Cut to a darkened scene with a silhouette of Mr. Bland and disco lights in the background.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Hailing from the middle of the road, the prince of plain, the master of mundane, it's ''{spotlight turns on}'' Mr. Bland!

''{Cut to a beige background of panning cubes and "mr. bland" scrolls to the right. Mr. Bland strikes an action pose. Cut back to The Announcer.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And next, our returning champion, the walking—

''{Cut to a similar disco lights scene with The Robot in silhouette.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' —metal robot... The Robot!

''{A spotlight shines on The Robot and he waves. A blue background of screws and hex nuts pans in, and "The Robot" appears while The Robot holds a waving pose. Cut back to The Announcer.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And from Foreign Lands, the foreign man:

''{Cut back to the disco scene, now with Señor in silhouette.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Señor Ha-Ha-Ha-Havin' A Little Trouble!

''{A brown background of [[beans]] pans in, and "Señor" appears while Señor strikes an action pose.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' And...

''{Cut to silhouettes of Pom Pom, Strong Bad, and Homestar Runner, whose respective spotlights turn on as their names are mentioned.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{quickly}'' Pom-Pom-Strong-Bad-and-Homestar.

''{Homestar looks surprised. Cut back to The Announcer. The scene is bright again.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Grape Fairie! Hit me with da rules!

''{Pan up to The Grape Fairie riding his bee. He makes a scroll appear that reads "Rules".}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' ''{in a Bronx accent}'' All right, youze ''{incomprehensible}'' brains, listen up smart. I start yas each off with like twenty grapes.

''{A pile of [[grapes]] takes the place of the floating scroll.}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' Then I adds one at a time.

''{A grape appears above the pile.}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' The bum what holds the most grapes —

''{A golden bowl-shaped trophy appears in place of the grapes.}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' — wins this gold bowl.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{from offscreen; sounds impressed}'' Dang, Pom Pom, you see that golbol? ''{zooms in on "golbol"}'' That's a nice golbol.

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Let's get this over with!

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' Allzy oop. ''{zaps a pile of grapes on top of the contestants}''

'''MR. BLAND:''' ''{speaking monotone}'' Okay.... This is going really well.

''{The pile of grapes crushes Mr. Bland.}''

'''MR. BLAND:''' Oh.

''{Cut to silhoettes of everyone on a yellow background.}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Down goes Bland!

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' Ka-bu op! ''{pings a single grape over each contestant}''

''{Cut to Señor, impossibly balancing the entire pile on one hand.}''

'''SEÑOR:''' Oh, no, boy. I havin' a little trouble!

''{The pile falls on Señor, accompanied by the word "Sblounskched!" and the sound of a bowling ball hitting some pins. He sticks his arm out of the grapes.}''

'''SEÑOR:''' I still alive!

''{Cut to Strong Bad and The Cheat, with Pom Pom in the background.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, The Cheat—

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' —I hear our friend The Robot is about to do a set of his acoustic numbers. Or should I say, unplugged?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{affirmative The Cheat noises, salutes}''

''{The Cheat slides to the feet of The Robot, who is apparently plugged into an outlet on a very small section of wall out of nowhere.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noises}'' ''{looks around, unplugs The Robot's cord, and slides away}'' ''{The Cheat noises}''

''{Cut to The Robot, who shuts down and drops the pile of grapes. General sad "Aw"s among the crowd are heard as the eyes of The Robot disappear slowly.}''

''{Cut to Homestar, whose grapes appear to be floating in mid-air, due to his lack of visible arms.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looks around}'' Did nobody just see that?! Judge? Fairie? Giant bee?

''{Cut to The Grape Fairie and The Announcer, who are admiring the bowl and not paying attention to the contest.}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' Honest to God, Mookie Wilson gave me the golbol to my aunt in 1974.

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' Really quite an impressive bowl.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{off screen}'' Hellooo?

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' Oh. Right.

''{Cut to Pom Pom, Strong Bad, and Homestar.}''

'''THE GRAPE FAIRIE:''' Crazy eights! ''{poofs another grape on top of everyone}''

''{Strong Bad begins to lose his grip on the grapes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat? Big help here! Big help!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay.... Even it out there on the south side.

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Jump her up.

''{Cut to Homestar.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, seriously. At first it was cute, but this is just borderline unsportsmanlike! Let me outline my master plan. I will (a) drop my grapes, and (b) uncover that cheat! ''{drops his grapes; walks over to Strong Bad and The Cheat}'' Could I just borrow this a second? ''{grabs The Cheat}''

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

''{Homestar kicks The Cheat about his feet like a footbag, then does a slow-motion flip and bicycle kicks The Cheat off screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{wobbling, melodramatically}'' Oh-nooo!

''{Strong Bad drops a couple of grapes, then the entire pile crushes him. The action-pose scene appears, this time with a green grapes background, "squished bad", and Strong Bad under his pile of grapes.}''

''{Cut to Pom Pom}''

'''THE ANNOUNCER:''' ''{voiceover}'' Pom Pom wins!

''{Pom Pom winks; a record scratch sounds, cut to Homestar}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Wait, what?!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, still buried.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ohh.... These grapes are succulently crushing my windpipe.... Ooh, but they're seedless! ''{The pile of grapes begins to collapse as Strong Bad eats it}''

''{Cut to Homestar and Pom Pom holding the trophy.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, seriously, Pom Pom. Gimme the golbol!

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubble noises, pulls the trophy back a bit}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yeah, that's great. But I still won. I sportsmanliked everybody! Now gimme the golbol!

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubble noises}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, fine. You can give it to me for my birthday. Now check out my victory dance! Huhyayayayaaa!

''{Homestar crosses his left leg over his right and jumps into the air. The Grape Fairie and the Fat Bee enter from the upper right, the announcer from the lower left. Pom Pom jumps in the air holding the trophy. The scene fades into the last page of the Original Book with "1996-2006" written across the upper left. The ending also provides a link to the original book.}''

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Strongestmanintheworld sbautograph.png|thumb|Dare to Dream!]]
*Clicking on the [[Contest]] sign when Homestar mentions getting Strong Bad's autograph will show a picture of said autograph, on which is written:
<blockquote>homestar, 
dare to dream! believe in yourself 
and you can achieve anything!! 
your pal 
Strond Ba.... 
wait a sec, 
2nd try: 
homestar, 
you're 
a butt. 
''Strong'' 
''Bad''</blockquote>

*Clicking the [[trophy]] at the end shows a shot of it (captioned "GOLBOL") in the same style as the ones shown when Mr. Bland, The Robot, Señor, and later "Squished Bad" are introduced. The [[Wikipedia:New York Mets|New York Mets]] logo is shown in the background.

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*"Unplugged" is a term popularized by [[Wikipedia:MTV Unplugged|MTV Unplugged]] and is used to refer to [[Wikipedia:Acoustic music|acoustic music]].
*Señor is the Spanish translation for "Mr.", explaining his accent.

===Trivia===
*The [[main page message]] for this toon read "10 years!".
*This toon is the first time the Grape Fairie, Mr. Bland, and Señor are given voices.
*Despite its attempt, this toon's page title is not the longest one of the website. [[Shopping for Danger]]'s page title "Blue Las-alert, Kids! Cheat Commandos will be right back after these messages!" surpasses it by five characters. They are, however, both 19 syllables long.
*Señor's full name was coined in [[origins]].
*When Homestar [[Kicking The Cheat|kicks The Cheat]], he is utilizing a skill known as juggling, which is usually done with soccer balls or [[wikipedia:Footbag|footbags]] (commonly known as Hacky Sacks).

===Remarks===
*When The Grape Fairie's mouth disappears when he isn't talking, his [[Wikipedia:Five o'clock shadow|five o'clock shadow]] disappears with it.
*Señor holds his pile of grapes on one side with the other half of the pile floating in mid-air. In the original book, he was holding the grapes with his right hand rather than his left.
*The way the grapes fall on Strong Bad, he should be lying on his stomach since he was holding the pile behind his head. However in the action scene, "squished bad," Strong Bad is shown lying on his back so that he could eat them in the next scene.
**Also, in the Original Story, when it shows Strong Bad squished under the pile of grapes, he was laying on his back.
*Señor's introduction background of beans may be a nod to the stereotype that Hispanics eat a lot of beans.
*The characters are spotlighted, although there doesn't seem to be any place for there to be spotlights in the sky.

===Goofs===
*When Mr. Bland, The Robot and Señor are introduced, the smaller spotlights cross over their feet, yet none of the characters' feet light up.
* In the silhouette scene following Mr. Bland's loss, the grapes are actually floating above Pom Pom. However, this could just be in keeping with the original book, which has a similar silhouette scene.
*The first page says "Every''one'' loves The Homestar Runner..." instead of "Every''body'' loves The Homestar Runner...", which would have been the correct quotation from the original book.
*Strong Bad has no purple reflection on his pants, like his [[Strong Bad Evolution|fifth design]].
*When the screen darkens and the strobe lights appear, the ones that shine on the bushes in the background do not light up the ground directly below the bushes.
**Also, the lights do not deform to the depths of the bushes, although they could be 2 dimensional.
*In the last modern scene (the 'victory dance') and the scene immediately before it, it can be seen that the shadows on Pom Pom's 'limbs' do not properly align - each 'arm' is apparently affected by a different light source when this really shouldn't be happening.

===Inside References===
*The music heard in the background when Señor is "having a little trouble" is the same music heard in the email [[car]] when Homestar is "deleted" by Strong Bad.
*When Señor gets squished, the [[onomatopoeia]] used is "[[SBLOUNSKCHED! Bar|Sblounskched!]]", the name of Strong Bad's candy bar.
*The song during the training scene is "[[Songs#from Strong Bad Emails|Showdown]]" from [[montage]], except with vocals by someone who sounds like [[Larry Palaroncini]].
*The outfit Homestar wears during the training scene originally appeared in [[lady fan]].
*The autographed picture of Strong Bad in the Easter egg is the same as the one that Strong Bad gives to his "main man" Van Mundegaarde in [[2 years]].
*One of the [[sound effects]] that plays when the Robot gets unplugged is the loading sound from [[Thy Dungeonman 3]] and [[Peasant's Quest]].
*Homestar's first speaking line and The Robot being introduced as such are examples of the [[integral article]].
*The ending music is the remix of the [[Old Intro|old intro music]], which is also heard at the end of [[flashback]] and can also be heard on [[Main Page 20]].
*The Announcer's introduction of Señor suggests that he is a resident of [[Far Off Lands|Foreign Lands]], the same place [[Thomas]] is said to be from.
*Pom Pom also winks in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]], just before he gets hit by Strong Mad.
*It can be assumed from Homestar's "Let's tone down the language" line that when Strong Bad calls Pom Pom and Homestar "not very strong", Pom Pom replies using [[swears]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Mookie Wilson|Mookie Wilson]] is a former [[Wikipedia:Major League Baseball|Major League Baseball]] outfielder who played with the [[Wikipedia:New York Mets|New York Mets]] from 1980 to 1989. The Mets' logo is shown in the background of the Easter egg.
*[[Wikipedia:Crazy Eights|Crazy Eights]] is a card game in which two players try to get rid of all their cards by discarding a card with the same number or suit as the previous card played. In this game, eights are wild.
*Homestar's aerobic outfit is similar to the ones [[Wikipedia:Jane Fonda|Jane Fonda]] wore when making her workout videos in the 1980s.
*The Grape Fairie's "Ollzy Oop!" is a distortion of the phrase [[Wikipedia:Alley Oop|Alley Oop]], which is a play in basketball where the ball is thrown up near the basket by a teammate, and another teammate dunks the ball in to score.


===Fast Forward===
*The music during the introduction of Mr. Bland, The Robot, and Señor is recycled in the [[Tito]] scene of [[more armies]].
*The golbol is featured in an Easter egg in [[Jibblies 2]]. Homestar finally gets it from Pom Pom, due to his costume of "Artie, The Strongest Man in the World".

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

'''MATT:''' This story is old!

'''MIKE:''' It's very old. This is, what, the ten-year anniversary, I think?

'''MATT:''' Tenured. Ten—

'''MIKE:''' Tenured track anniversary?

'''MATT:''' Uh-huh.

'''MIKE:''' I think it was a little off. I think we—

'''MATT:''' Yeah, we realized it was really— we assumed it was in, like, August, but it was actually in June, I think?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Something like that. ''{pause}'' But it's all based on the original. Look at the background there. The gym, the wall there.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' And those weights— the way the weights look.

'''MATT:''' That scene was also immortalized in the Mario Paint — or just Homestar lifting weights—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' —by himself — in the Mario Paint cartoon.

'''MATT:''' So, uh, this was kind of fun to make one of these competition cartoons after not making those kinds of cartoons for many years.

'''MIKE:''' And it was fun to try to get to sort of re-write it, and how they would act now about things.

'''MATT:''' Right. While being a little self-reflexive—

'''MIKE:''' Right.

'''MATT:''' —where they have to sort of hit these points from the generic competition story line. ''{pause}'' What do you think— What do you think he— Did he drop an F-bomb just then, Pom-Pom, maybe? What do you think he said, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' He may have dropped an S-bomb.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughing}'' Definitely dropped an S-bomb. ''{pause}'' Hey, Announcer!

'''MIKE:''' The Announcer — I think his graphics got re-done for this.

'''MATT:''' I think they did a little bit.

'''MIKE:''' Ooh, and look! Very, uh, Alan-Parsons-Project-esque song here.

'''MATT:''' That was fun. ''{pause}'' It was fun to make those little splash screens for each character.

'''MIKE:''' That robot was a Craig Zobel—

'''MATT:''' What was—

'''MIKE:''' —product of Zobel.

'''MATT:''' What was Scottie Pippen's number, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Scottie Pippen's number?

'''MATT:''' Mm-hmm.

'''MIKE:''' I don't know.

'''MATT:''' Oh.

'''MIKE:''' Why?

'''MATT:''' I was going to be The Announcer, going to see a Bulls game.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Oh. Oh.

'''MATT:''' Bulls always came out to that Alan Parsons—

'''MIKE:''' Jordan was 23.

'''MATT:''' Well, right, I— I was going to go something more obscure, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' Oh. ''{laughing}'' Pippen!?

'''MATT:''' Well, his number— you don't know his number and you're a big sports guy!

'''MIKE:''' ''{over Matt's previous comment}'' Well, I can't—

'''MATT:''' Oh! ''{makes noises similar to Homestar Runner's line, "Dang, Pop-Pom, do you see that Golbol?"}'' ''{pause}'' Um, I like the direction— Everyone thinks, uh— the Wiki anyways, everyone— The Wiki thinks that's you, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' What, Mr. Bland?

'''MATT:''' Do your best impression of... that.

'''MIKE:''' I don't e— how— what did he say?

'''MATT:''' Hey said, "Uh, my name's Mike and I suck."

'''MIKE:''' ''{doing an impersonation of Mr. Bland}'' "Hello, my name—" Wait, what!?

'''MATT:''' Whoa!

'''MIKE:''' Gosh, you almost got me that time!

'''MATT:''' He's still alive, Mike! ''{pause}'' This is the most inconvenient, worst robot ever. It's like one of those robots from the 1920s World Fair where it's like, "It's a metal man! Thrill at the sounds of the metal man!"

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' And it has to be plugged in.

'''MATT:''' Uh... Mookie Wilson!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that gave that bowl to his gold— ''{laughing}'' to his gold aunt?

'''MATT:''' To his gold aunt! His golden aunt!

'''MIKE:''' Mookie Wilson. I think Mookie Wilson hit the— hit the famous ball that went through Bill Buckman's legs... in the World Series.

'''MATT:''' Oh, yeah?

'''MIKE:''' Red Sox, Mets. I think he hit it.

'''MATT:''' The curse?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' You see? There— there's a little reference to the original dialoguer.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Doing some hacky sacking.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, totally. Oh, bicycle kick! Or, no. Is that a bicycle kick?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' A rainbow... kick— are they called that too, sometimes?

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

'''MATT:''' Umm, I like the direction we took with The Grape Fairie.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah—

'''MATT:''' That when he's not talking, he doesn't have a 5 o'clock shadow. But when he starts to talk—

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing and over Matt's last line}'' It just appears when his mouth opens.

'''MATT:''' That voice can't not have a 5 o'clock shadow.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' If you sound like that, you're gonna— it's just gonna come out immediately. ''{pause}'' Huhyayayayaaa! I've always loved that victory dance. That's a total Craig Zobel drawing, right there, isn't it?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Didn't he do that last drawing?

'''MIKE:''' He always would make Homestar's body look like a soup can.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' He gave it the 3D style.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Bye, Craig.

'''MIKE:''' I got Craiged.

===Fun Facts===
*[[Wikipedia:Scottie Pippen|Scottie Pippen]] and [[Wikipedia:Michael Jordan|Michael Jordan]] were players for the [[Wikipedia:Chicago Bulls|Chicago Bulls]]. Their jersey numbers (33 and 23, respectively) are two of only four currently retired by the Bulls.

{{dvd|Everything Else, Volume 3}}

==Transcript==
''{Scene in Marzipan's house, where Marzipan is applying mascara while looking in a hall mirror. She is already wearing lipstick. A drum beat is heard. After a few seconds, Homestar enters from the right and the drum beat fades out.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa-ho, Marzipan! You look like a fox's mother!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Still looking in mirror}'' Homestar, if you're trying to say I'm a "foxy mama", that's actually ''more'' offensive.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Right, right. You know what I mean. The more offensive one. So where are we goin' tonight? ''{leans over}'' The Chez Perez? ''{"Chez" is mispronounced to rhyme with "Perez"}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Still looking at the mirror}'' Uh, no. I have a hot date with The Cheat, thank you very much. I suspect ''you'll'' probably stay home and run in place or something.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well I ''was'' planning to—you WHAT?! ''{Jumps up in the air, eyes bugging out}''

''{Cut to Strong Bad's basement, where The Cheat is applying a fake mustache with Strong Bad looking on}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You WHAT?! ''{Jumps up in the air, then starts quivering with rage}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' I can't believe this, The Cheat!

''{Cut to a close-up of Homestar in Marzipan's house}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I can't believe you're The Cheating on me! ''{Pull back to include Marzipan, still at the mirror}'' So what are you saying? That you ''{looking worried}'' —GULP— ''{leans over}'' want his bod?

''{Cut back to a close up of Strong Bad in his basement}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' You can't even call that thing a bod! At best it's a broom or a—

''{Cut back to Homestar, looking angry}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —Trivial Pursuit cheese wedge!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Turning away from the mirror and brandishing mascara brush}'' Look, Homestar, it's just a date. ''{jabs the mascara brush towards Homestar twice}'' This has always been an open relationship.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Whoa-ho-ho-says you. I've turned down more foxes' mothers than I can count just to stay loyal to you!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Dryly}'' So, four, then?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, that's rich. Ms. Smarty Pants, eh?

''{Cut back to Strong Bad's basement}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Mr. Smarty Spots, huh? Well—

''{Scene starts switching between locations as Strong Bad and Homestar alternate words}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —why—

'''STRONG BAD:''' —don't—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —you—

'''STRONG BAD:''' —just—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —go a—

'''STRONG BAD:''' —head—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —and—

''{Cuts to Strong Bad and Homestar inexplicably together in Marzipan's house, yelling:}''

'''STRONG BAD AND HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' —GET OUTTA MY FACE!

''{Both open their eyes}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Looking around}'' Wait, what?

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the crap...?

''{Cut back to Strong Bad's basement where Marzipan and The Cheat are standing in front of the couch.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Come on, The Cheat. Let's go.

''{The Cheat crooks his arm as if to allow Marzipan to loop her arm through it. Marzipan stands next to him and leans over as if taking his arm in hers, and the two exit together. Music starts playing.}''

''{Cut to title screen, a pink square on a light blue background. On each note of the melody, the letters "Da" and "ni" appear on the left side of the square, one on top of the other, then a large "Te" appears on the right to form the words "DaTe" and "niTe". The "e" falls against the title frame.}''

''{Cut back to Marzipan's house, this time to the living room. Homestar and Strong Bad are drinking 'old Ones, Strong Bad sitting on the couch, Homestar lying on the floor with his feet on the couch. Strong Bad is shaking his head.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh. Man. Seriously, Strong Strong, we've ''gotta'' do something about ''this''.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ordinarily, I just drown my sorrows in video games, but for ''this'', ''{Close up of Strong Bad, rubbing his chin}'' maybe I should drown them in... drowning ''them''! ''{Smiles}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Sitting up}'' Uh, maybe let's not kill anybody. We should just try and ruin their date.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Explain to me how drowning them wouldn't ruin their date.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Mainly, I just want to keep 'em from making out.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Dropping 'old One bottle, starts rubbing his arms}'' Ewww! The disgust! It won't wash off!

''{Scene transitions to Marshmallow's Last Stand, where The Cheat and Marzipan are sitting in a booth, holding menus. Both the menus and a sign near the door read "Marshmallow's L'est Stand". A candle sits in the center of the table.}''

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

'''MARZIPAN:''' Why, yes, The Cheat, I would be ''very'' comfortable with you saying something about my figure. Thank you for asking first.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{makes a sound reminiscent of a wolf-whistle}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Puts down menu}'' Ew. Not ''that'' comfortable.

''{Homestar comes running up in his waiter uniform from Summer Short Shorts. A record scratch sound effect is heard.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ah, good evening, ungodly couple. ''{The Cheat puts down his menu}'' My name is Waiter, I will be your Homestar for this evening. Can I start you two off with a glass of "Breaking Up", or perhaps "Never Seeing Each Other Again" with capers?

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Angry The Cheat noises, waving a fist}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Why, yes, The Cheat, I ''would'' be comfortable with you "cleaning my clock"! Thanks for asking first!

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Angrier The Cheat noises, more threatening gestures}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ahhhh! ''{Takes off in a cloud of dust, after a few seconds, pops down from the top border}'' Can I settle up with you guys? My shift's over.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{more angry The Cheat noises and threatening gestures.}''

''{Homestar ducks offscreen. Cut to later, close up of Marzipan with a plate with crumbs and a small piece of marshmallow.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Mmmmm, my almond-encrusted Chilean sea marshmallow was just delicious. ''{Cut out to include The Cheat sitting in front of an empty hot dog wrapper with ketchup and a couple of french fries around it.}'' How was your hot dog?

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

''{Strong Bad runs up, dressed up as an Italian chef, complete with fake mustache. Italian music plays.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Fake Italian accent}'' Oh-a, it's-a me! ''{Close up}'' The chef-a! A-which-a one o' you guys ordered the smack-in-the-face-a? ''{Italian music stops}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Annoyed}'' I thought this was a French restaurant.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Regular voice}'' Oh. Ummmmmmmmm, uh... S-snails?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Come on, T.C., let's blow this marshmallow stand. ''{Marzipan and The Cheat get up and walk away offscreen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, y'know, I--I didn't really research this role.

''{As the screen blacks out, Strong Bad's fake mustache falls off}''

''{Fade in to Marzipan and The Cheat crossing The Stone Bridge in the moonlight}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Excited The Cheat noises, gesturing}''

''{They stop at the top of the bridge}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' That's so crazy! I've always wanted to see Ira Glass and Ira Flatow wrestle, too.

''{From out of the water comes a periscope, apparently made out of cardboard tubes and duct tape. Cut to the view of Marzipan and The Cheat from the periscope. A repetitive sonar-like "boo" sound is heard in the background}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' This has been such a great date, The Cheat. I don't know what could possibly ruin it.

''{Cut to inside of cardboard submarine. Strong Bad is looking away from the periscope with Homestar standing right behind, wearing a sailor hat and simulating sonar noises. Water is streaming down the walls and dripping from the ceiling.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Verify our range to target! Flood tubes three and four! Hunt for Red October!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aye aye, sir! ...Boo...

''{Cut to surface. The "submarine" surfaces. It is a cardboard box with the words "USS FLIRTINI" on the side. Strong Bad and Homestar pop out, revealing fireworks duct-taped to the insides of the box flaps.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' FIRE!

''{Homestar and Strong Bad light a match and the BMW Lighter, respectively, and light the fireworks. View changes to include the bridge and its occupants. After a couple seconds, the fireworks simultaneously propel the submarine backwards offscreen and fly forwards.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER AND STRONG BAD:''' WAAAH!

''{The fireworks execute a loop in the air, and fly past Marzipan and The Cheat, startling them. Cut to a view of the sky where the fireworks go off in a grand display. Marzipan and The Cheat's silhouettes can be seen in the foreground.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Ooooh, it's so romantic...

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{Sighs}''

''{Marzipan and The Cheat lean close to each other}''

''{Cut to view of the surface of a large body of water. Homestar and Strong Bad are leaning out the top of the "submarine" as the fireworks flash, singing the Strong Badia national anthem as it sinks.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Singing}'' Come to the place where the tropical breezes blow... ''{Last word is garbled as he is submerged}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Singing along}'' Da da da da dada dadada dada daaaaaaah...

''{Cut to Marzipan's front hall, later. The sound of the front door opening and closing is heard, followed by Marzipan walking down the hall until she finds Homestar, running in place angrily. Homestar notices her, and stops mid-step.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Sulkingly}'' Oh, if it isn't Marzipan. ''{Steps down}'' Oh, I'm sorry, or was it "The Marzipan", now?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well, you'll be happy to know it didn't work out between us. I found out The Cheat is declawed, and I just don't think I could be with someone that supports that kind of cruelty.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Delighted}'' And now you've come crawlin' back to the ol' fox's father!

'''MARZIPAN:''' No, I just came to change outfits for my next date with Bubs at the all-night waffle place!

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
*"L'est" is a contraction of the French word for "the" and the French word for "is" or "east". "Chez" (which Homestar [[Foreign Words|mispronounces]]) means "At the home of" and is often used in names of fancy French restaurants.
*Marzipan's statement "let's blow this marshmallow stand" is a reference to the idiom [[Wiktionary:blow this popsicle stand|"blow this Popsicle stand"]].
*The phrase "in the Squared Circle" (from the Easter egg) comes from the old tradition of fights being held inside of a crowd of onlookers who would form a circle around the combatants. When the official square shaped fighting area was introduced, this nickname developed.
*A [[Wikipedia:Professional wrestling match types#Lumberjack match|lumberjack match]] is a match in professional wrestling in which other athletes, usually [[Wikipedia:Job (professional wrestling)#Jobbers|jobbers]], stand around the outside of the ring in order to prevent a ring-out.
*No-Holds-Barred is a professional wrestling term for no disqualifications or count outs.
*Strong Bad's mention of "snails" refers to the French dish [[Wikipedia:Escargot|escargot]].
*A flirtini is a cocktail made of champagne, vodka, and pineapple juice.
*Strong Bad sinking with the ''USS Flirtini'' is a reference to the captain sinking with the ship, a noble move that a captain does whilst the ship is sinking.
*Public radio stations are often supported by [[Wikipedia:Pledge drive|pledge drives]], in which regular broadcasting is interrupted by announcers requesting financial contributions from listeners.
*Marzipan's "Chilean sea marshmallow" is a play on the fish [[wikipedia:Chilean Sea Bass|Chilean sea bass]].
*[[Wikipedia:Caper#Culinary Uses|Capers]] are pickled and salted buds of the caper plant that are often used as a seasoning or garnish, especially in Mediterranean cuisine.
*[[Wikipedia:Onychectomy|Declawing]] is a controversial surgery occasionally done on cats in which the first segment on each digit of a paw is removed to prevent scratching.
* Homestar vocally makes the sound "ping" while in the "USS Flirtini" to substitute for the [[Wikipedia:sonar|sonar]] sounds of a real submarine.

===Trivia===
*Marzipan's mascara tube reads "Hot Vegan".
*Strong Bad and Homestar are drinking [[Cold One|'old ones]].
*The bubbling sound heard when the USS ''Flirtini'' sinks is the same sound effect used when [[Pom Pom]] speaks.
*The tape in the booOOMbox in the Easter egg reads "normal [[Wikipedia:Tape bias|bias]]" and appeared previously in [[geddup noise]].
*This is another instance of [[Strong Bad smiling]].
*In the scene that quickly cuts between Strong Bad and Homestar yelling, Marzipan's mirror is visible behind Strong Bad as he yells "—head".

===Remarks===
*The synopsis asks if Homestar and Marzipan are finally going on a date, but they went out in the email [[date]], and also in the email [[senior prom]].
*In the mascara's reflection in the mirror, the words appear forwards, not reversed like they would be in a real mirror.
*When Marzipan talks to Homestar after her date, you can see that the shading on the right of her dress is missing in her closeup. However, when the screen zooms out to show Homestar and Marzipan, the shading on her dress is back to normal.
*Coach Z wears curlers in this cartoon, suggesting he does have hair. Though he appears bald when he loses his hat in [[caffeine]], he has been shown having a mustache and afro when he was younger.
*Although Marzipan suggests that Homestar Runner can only count up to three, he counts to five in [[HomestarRunner.com PAY PLUS!]].
*In [[Happy Fireworks]], Homestar suggests that Marzipan doesn't like fireworks and that she thinks they "promote violence." However, she refers to them as "romantic" when she watches them in this cartoon.

*The stones in the stone bridge look different than they do in [[personal favorites]]. (The stone are aligned in an arch here rather than horizontal, as they were in personal favorites.)
*Marzipan seems to have no problem with The Cheat eating a hot dog, despite her strong stance regarding products made from animals.

===Goofs===
*When Marzipan allows the Cheat to compliment her, a bit of her hair is shown disconnected with the rest.

===Fixed Goofs===

*The Cheat is again compared to cheese (in this case, a Trivial Pursuit cheese wedge), as was the case in [[huttah!]].
*Instead of actually gulping, Homestar merely ''says'' his gulp, which is what [[Fightgar]] did when [[Gunhaver]] ordered him to do some "undercover work" in [[Shopping for Danger]].
