Talk:A Decemberween Mackerel

Garfunkel — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 04:18:20 GMT

Garfunkel: /* Marzipan's Voice */

== Hallelujah! Hallelujah! ==

After who knows how long, we finally get a toon! This truly is a D-Ween Mackerel!
On to Bweeze-Ness. Here are some things I have noticed.
*On the Main Page it says "New Holiday Toon", and when hovered over it says "For real!"
*When Cardgage is "revived" he makes the same shine and noise as when "Eh, Steve!'s mouth exploded the universe" in Cactus Coffee and the No Tell Hotel"
*Non specific mouthwash and the guy who says I'm going to need you to sign this makes fun of people being sued for using product names.
*Marzipan and Homestar both sung a modified version of O, Decemberween.
*Strong Sad being locked in the tub is a reference to other D-Ween toons.
*This toon constantly references Cardgage's death. And hints at Homsar's
*When Marzipan and Homestar are walking at the beginning, Homestar has footsteps and Marzi is leaving a solid trail, again hinting she is just a mass in a dress shape
*When Cardgage comes out of the bush, he makes the same traffic noise as in his FBI warning and Hremail 3184
*Coach Z is wearing a Blubb-Os box.
*The Bubs scene could be an instance of duplicate characters.
*Homeschool winner, Preshy, Rafferdy, Champeen, The Hurricane and another mass I can't identify at the end of the line are all in the bubs scence
*The Defib unit was previously seen in the Breakfast cereal email
*This is an toon not only in widescreen but it is big altogether even bigger than the games menu(I personally can't fit it on my screen VERTICALLY entirely)

Just things I konticed.

:You should add those to the fun facts section of the article. (I could, but then you wouldn't be credited in the history.) If you're worried about formatting, don't be. Someone will fix it for you. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:54, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
::If you can't fit it onto your screen, press F11 (at least in IE) to view full screen. F11 again will shrink it back. Or you can view the Flash file which will automatically fit to your browser. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 00:39, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
:::Oh shoot. I put in the part about the people in line. Sorry! I didn't know. You can do the rest of them. {{User:Wasd98/sig}} 02:58, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

I am just so happy we finally have a toon again! I have been checking the website everyday for so long hoping to see one. This brightened my day!

:::: This is the first time we had a toon since April! Thats 8 months down the drain for us! all we had to do was edit old stuff that was new! oh, im so glad it's over. [[User:Jibblejibblejibble|Jibblejibblejibble]] 22:25, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

== The end of the line ==

Who is that guy at the end of the line before Marzipan? I have no idea. {{User:Wasd98/sig}} 02:57, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
:I think it's that girl from a DVD extra.--{{User:Record307/sig}} 03:14, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
::That'd be three [[Unguraits]] standing on each others head. The fun facts already got it. {{User:StrongAwesome74/sig}} 03:19, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

== Marzipan's Voice ==

I know the sound quality is better, but does Marzipan's voice sound a little different to you guys? I don't know, it sounds more refined, for lack of a better word, maybe it's just been so long I forgot what she sounded like. I understand the sound quality is better for this one, but I don't think that has too much to do with it --[[User:The Swedish Ace|The Swedish Ace]] 03:22, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
:Yes, it's different. I can't describe it either. It was different in [[DNA Evidence]] too.. according to Matt in the DVD commentary, "You can tell Melissa's got a cold here. She's a little snotty." Don't think it's the same thing here, though. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 03:42, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
:: Maybe it's just the result of how long it's been since the last toon? [[Special:Contributions/99.239.23.76|99.239.23.76]] 03:06, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
:::It is a little different... It is probably because we havent heard a new toon for eight months, so, her voice must have changed because...w-well.... everybody sounds different at the end of a year than what they did at the beginning. That proves my point. also they said there was higher voice resolution or something like that in [[Homestar Presents: Presents]]. In conclusion, i concur with the anonymous writer above my comment.
::::The Swedish Ace, I thought it sounded really different too --[[User:Garfunkel|Garfunkel]] 04:18, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

== Video Lag During the End? ==

Anybody else have the video studder/lose synch during the end of the cartoon? I've played it about 3 times, and it does it at the same part every single time.

== High horse ==

I think "We Come Down Off Our High Horse!" in the HTML title isn't referring to Homestar's line but rather to the Chaps themselves. They're jokingly saying they've stopped doing whatever they're doing these days long enough to make a new toon. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:05, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
:You know, I was actually thinking the exact same thing. I didn't want to bring it to the talk because it was a very fleeting suggestion, and I interpreted it to refer to Marzipan's line instead of Homestar's. However, if there's no more verification of this, we don't really have any means of professionally adding this to the article. If we're taking a double <strike>rainbow</strike> meaning out of this page title, we need to be absolutely ''sure'' that this indeed ''is'' a double meaning. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 04:09, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

: I agree with Dot com here. It wouldn't be the first time they've acknowledged a long break between toons, and it was also something that definitely crossed my mind when I read it the first time. {{User:Some HSR themed username/sig}} 04:16, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

:: Makes sense to me. {{User:Salty/sig}} 04:26, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

== Screen size ==

Is there a way of watching this toon without having to scroll? Not the Flash file, the HTML toon. {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 05:09, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
:You could do any of the following:
:#Get Firefox, get Greasemonkey, then get [[User:Phlip/Greasemonkey|Phlip's All-in-one script]], which includes a feature to automagically make the toon the size of you screen.
:#Press F11 to make your browser go fullscreen (this is standard across all browsers).
:#Increase the resolution of your screen by going to control panel and then under Appearance and Personalization there should be a link that says "Adjust Screen Resolution" (at least that's on Vista, might be slightly different in 7 and probably similar in OS X).
:#Buy a bigger monitor/better video card.
:--{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 05:18, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

:You could also lower the font-size (Cmd minus or Ctrl minus), that's what I did. --[[User:Hatkirby|Hatkirby]] 11:34, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
:If you have Firefox, I suspect [https://addons.mozilla.org/af/firefox/addon/1696/ this add-on] will downsize any too-large 'toons as well as embiggening the small ones. [[User:Octan|Octan]] 00:36, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

You could also zoom out. In IE and Firefox go to "View" on the menu, then zoom. [[User:Perducci|Perducci]]
:In '''all''' modern browsers, Ctrl-Scroll Wheel. And don't forget xrandr for 'Nix users! — {{User:Fotoshop/sig}} 01:32, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
:: Octan's note also works on Safari for all you mac users. I have Safari and it worked perfectly. but dont forget to switch it back though. [[User:Jibblejibblejibble|Jibblejibblejibble]] 22:44, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

==Sports==

When Marzipan said "Senor Cardgage won first place in sports" it reminded me of the reporter in Coach Z's 110% that said "Homestar Runner, you just won the sports". So now I'm wondering if there's any other time the term "sports" is used in place of an actual sport, and if not, if this seems notable in any way at all.

Oh yeah also when Coach Z pops out of the snow before Cardgage appears there's a line in the snow where he came out that disappears before the scene zooms in.--[[User:Topmonhit|Topmonhit]] 05:33, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

==Rejected Characters==
[[File:MackeralRejectedCharacters.png|thumb|A line for the holidays]]
Can we get a shot of the rejected characters. It only lasts for like three seconds. [[User:StarFox|StarFox]] 20:15, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
:There it is. Do as you will with it. That'll be $250. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 06:57, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
::Let's put it in the article next to the fun fact about it. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:18, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

==Cardgage's Dialogue==

Cardgage usually calls people women's names, but here, he doesn't say any female names at all; in fact, he uses a MALE name at one point. Did anyone else notice this? I put this in Remarks. --[[User:Raddaluigi|Raddaluigi]] 23:12, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

== Fake vomit ==

The transcription says Homestar throws up when he says "puke". But to me it looked like they were trying to get across that it was imaginary vomit, because it's just a dotted white outline. Thoughts? - Your imaginary pal, [[User:Octan|Octan]] 00:30, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
:I agree. Watching it frame by frame, it definitely looks pretend. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:49, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
::I was kinda wondering why the vomit was a dotted line and clear. Maybe that is it.{{User:The McArby/Sig}} 00:54, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
:::I sorta figured the puke was supposed to look Christmas-y. Anyone? {{User:Homestar-Winner/sig}} 01:30, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
::::Maybe he puked snow? [[User:StarFox|StarFox]] 03:02, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
:::::Maybe a reference to Epic Yarn, which uses that art style. You know how the Chaps love Nintendo. --[[User:Raddaluigi|Raddaluigi]] 05:23, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
::::::i also reccomend the game i havae it. it rules. no, i think that they did it in refrence to [[Halloween Potion-Ma Jig]] where the bottle of Ghost water is dotted with the outline like that. and ghosts are imagiary, or types of imaginary people, so i think they just used the same type of material so they can prove their point. I will have to take another look at it... [[User:Jibblejibblejibble|Jibblejibblejibble]] 22:48, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

== Bubses? ==

In the rejected characters scene, Homeschool Winner is seen conversing with Bubs. Three seconds later, we pan to Homestar talking to Bubs a few feet away. Does this count as a case of [[Duplicate Characters]]?--[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] [[User talk:Jellote|wuz]] [[Special:Contributions/Jellote|here]] 20:56, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
:Technically no. Since Bubs wasn't moving at all when he was in the stand, I think the "Bubs" you see is actually a cardboard cutout. {{User:MichaelXX2/sig}} 17:03, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
::Except he ''is'' moving. He's waving his arms. I'll grant that I still think it's a fake Bubs of some sort (or that he can run really fast?), but we shouldn't just dismiss the duplicate characters thing without a discussion. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:16, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
:::From frame 2735 to frame 2743 you can see Bubs standing next to Homestar while you can still very faintly hear the other Bubs continuing to talk about sales, proving that there were two different Bubses there that night. {{User:Homestar-Winner/sig}} 17:40, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
::::I removed it from the Fun Facts list on grounds that they don't appear onscreen at the same time (see also [[No Hands on Deck!]]). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 20:18, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

== My left arm is disappearing, Miss America ==

I posted a fun fact saying that Senor Cardgage's left arm disappears after he rises from the bush. [[User:The Knights Who Say Ni|The Knights Who Say Ni]] reverted it. If you watch the bush closely, ''something'' red is behind it as he's rising up, but the moment he stops, it disappears. I figured it's his left hand/glove. If anyone out there has Greasemonkey and can verify this, I'd be much obliged. Bottom line, though: something weird happens after he rises up. I see it, clear as Halloween Night.--[[User:Bobo the King|Bobo the King]] 07:45, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
: I see it. What's really funny: on the same frame his left hand disappears, a spot of his right hand ''appears'' from behind the bush. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 10:28, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
::Bobo the King - I was wrong to revert you, and i apologize. I didn't know what to look for, so i wasn't looking early enough. hope my clarifying revision works for you. Jay - for some reason, my right click menu isn't working, so i am unable to watch this by frames. once that gets fixed, i'll be able to see what you're talking about more clearly. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 14:47, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
::: If you have Firefox, the Greasemonkey script helps a lot for frame-by-frame comparisons. :) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:35, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
:::No worries, Knights. I've made more than my share of mistakes in editing and it's not as though any damage was done-- this is a Wiki, after all. I just wanted to throw it on the talk page since it seemed my version of the fun fact was unclear. No harm done, and apology graciously accepted!--[[User:Bobo the King|Bobo the King]] 22:40, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
::::Jay - yes i use firefox, but i don't have that script. normally i can just right click and stop the action and watch it by frames that way. something tells me that if i manually crash firefox, the problem will fix itself, but at the same time, i'm always hesitant to do that. incidentally, for [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=HomestarRunner.com_PAY_PLUS!&diff=prev&oldid=711854 this edit summary], i went in and actually counted each individual frame. (it was only seven seconds at 12 fps; i figure it wouldn't take all that long) i figure since i hardly ever need to know frame numbers, downloading that script isn't all that urgent at the present time. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 23:00, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
:::::what do you know, right click menu magically works again! and i didn't have to crash the browser or anything. anyway, Jay - wow, that's interesting. could a decompiler take out the bush? that would be crazy to watch... {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 02:33, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
::::::Hahaha. It would be interesting to see how The Brothers Chaps treated that hammer space. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 03:39, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

== Marzipan's transition lines ==

I extracted the file of Marzipan's lines right before a couple of the transitions. Listen here: [[Media:A Decemberween Mackerel Marzipan.mp3|A Decemberween Mackerel Marzipan.mp3]]. I think her first line is "Move it on," not "Movin' on." I also hear no "r" in "Peeow." (Interestingly, there's an unused "Yoink" in there too.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:59, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
:The "Peeow" bit I'll buy, but I definitely hear "Movin' On." If I really try, I can sorta kinda hear an "it", but barely. {{User:StrongAwesome74/sig}} 19:57, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
:Yeah, that doesn't sound like Move it on. {{User:The McArby/Sig}} 16:10, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
::I took it in and it was definatly it was Movin' On. Also, off the record, pardon me if some of my words are missing a letter, my keyboard is old and not working right.... [[User:Jibblejibblejibble|Jibblejibblejibble]] 22:54, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

== Photo caption ==
[[File:A Decemberween Mackerel opening.png|thumb|"At Decemberween time, it's our duty as people with more than one DVR to help those much, much, much, much, way very, very, very much, really smelly, a lot much less fortunate than us."]]
Per the suggestion of It's dot com I'm taking this discussion here. The caption for the photo on the page is much, much too long and doesn't really fit the picture. We try to avoid unnecessarily lengthy captions here and this is one of them. Not to mention the fact that it really isn't funny, either. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|That guy that slayed some Kerrek]]. 06:08, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
:The caption for the photo on the page is not too long at all. It fits the picture very well, much better in fact than the other one. We don't try to avoid unnecessarily lengthy captions. It's especially funny, in part because of its length. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 06:13, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
::I'm largely ambivalent, but if required to make the choice, I'd go with DC's because, whatever anyone else may say, I do find it marginally funnier than the other. Also because I actually agree that it actually does fit the picture better than the other (for the "keep slogging" quote to fit well, Marzipan would need to have her angry look). I do grant that it's pretty long, but really, I don't know that we have any particular precedent against long quotes. Still, I'm not going to get too involved in this. I think caption wars are kind of a waste of time, anyway. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 14:49, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
:::Easy there, German Homestar, let's not call this a "caption war". I've seen plenty of lengthy captions get cut back, and seven lines of space below a photo for something that quite frankly isn't funny is a little too much. There's gotta be a better way. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|That guy that slayed some Kerrek]]. 07:48, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
::::"Caption war" = just a term for an edit war over captions, so I think it describes the situation well. As for the dispute, unfortunately, part of this is just plain subjective: whether that line is funny. You say it is not, Dot com says it is. No real objective answer to that dispute. For my part, I find it funny, though not exceedingly so. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 09:26, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
:::::I find the extra-long caption funny. It was probably the first (of many) things that made me laugh in the toon. Additionally, extra-long captions are funny in and of themselves (see also [[Compy Catalog]]). But, objectively, who said the caption even needs to be funny? Can't it just be a caption? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 09:31, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
::::::I would characterize the majority of our captions, especially the ones at the top of toon articles, as funny. (Yes, funny is subjective. Let's just say that they were probably funny to whoever added them to the respective articles.) Even if we ''usually'' have short captions, I have not noticed that we, as a rule, must ''always'' choose short quotes for captions (demonstrated by the link above), and I would expect the claim that one has "seen plenty of lengthy captions get cut back" to be backed up with links to edits. Ultimately, I think the current caption is fine with the current image (shown above).
::::::But really, we're focusing on the wrong thing here. I don't think the current ''image'' is the right one for the article. I needed an image for the main page, and so I specifically chose something close to the beginning of the toon that wouldn't be a spoiler. I put it in the article as a placeholder and added what I thought was the funniest corresponding caption. I fully expected the image to be replaced at some point (I even named it "A Decemberween Mackerel ''opening''"). The toon is about Senor Cardgage, after all, and he's not even in the picture. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:25, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
:::::::Agreed. The image should have Senor Cardgage in it. {{User:OptimisticFool/sig}} 20:40, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
::::::::I disagree. It shouldn't. im saying that because dont you think thats too much of a spoiler? Then again, in the descriptions that are on the article page, you did put Marzipan/ barely Homestar thata they were trying to help Cardgage.... but still, we dont need more spoilers on there.... [[User:Jibblejibblejibble|Jibblejibblejibble]] 23:00, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
:::::::::Spoiler? The opening blurb says "Senor Cardgage says he's dying", it's pretty obvious that Cardgage would be ''in'' the toon. And besides, the entire ''plot'' of the toon would never be a spoiler. I'm all for Cardgage to be in the picture. {{User:StrongAwesome74/sig}} 23:32, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
::::::::::In general, we've never been overly concerned with spoilers for the article image, because it's assumed that if you're reading the article, you've seen the toon (or you're reading at your own risk). It's only on the main page that we don't want to give anything away. The article image should capture the essence of the whole toon. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:38, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
I'm sure we have a lot more articles with article images and/or captions that would be considered "spoilers." None of these toons are a giant novel, it'd be unnecessary to employ anti-spoiler measures. Frankly, that'd be just silly. We cover these toons in a strict encyclopedic manner, because these aren't games. Getting back on topic, I'd just keep the caption as it's shown here. I don't think it's worth arguing over. {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 03:39, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

== Toyota Cressida ==

In the Transcript section, at one point, Senor Cardgage is said to say this:
'''SENOR CARDGAGE:''' {moans} Oh, my Toyota Cressida... {Cardgage falls down}
But what if what he's actually saying is, "My Toyota crashed."? I think this makes sense because he could be using "Toyota" to refer to one of his organs, and saying it "crashed" would be kind of like it failing. And also because of the recent issue with Toyota vehicles and their brakes failing, causing them to crash. Though that may be too sensitive of a joke for an online show like this to make, especially so soon. Still, I think it's plausible that he could've said either one.
:Does anyone else notice that when Cardgage speaks at this point, his hair darkens? - [[User:Zoen|Zoen]] 10:10, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
::Hair darkening: it does. Saying "crashed": he doesn't. The "Cressida" is pretty clearly multiple syllables. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:23, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
::: wow! i thought he said "Oh, my Toyota Crashdeds." That is not a real word, but.... wow, im only 12 and my hearing is fadin fast!
::::I heard "Ohh... My Toyota crashida..." But "Cressida" does make more sense than a fake word, but a modified "crashed" would also make sense... I'm confused now.--[[Special:Contributions/96.253.50.144|96.253.50.144]] 23:11, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

== Hello, Chi Minh? ==
Upon listening, couldn't it have been "Hello, G-Man"? After all, said character from the Half-Life series has a habit of appearing and disappearing, and Cardgage has just emerged from a ridiculously tiny bush.
:No, I don't think so. I've always heard "Hello, Chi Minh". — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:27, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

== Dress like shape? Me thinks not! ==

Maybe the reason that Marzipan is leaving a solid trail behind is because her dress is dragging in the back, erasing any footprints in the snow with just a wide dent. Possibly?
:That'd be a pretty heavy dress to leave such a consistantly wide trail as deep as footprints. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:27, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
:: As a freindly retort, i guess it must be! Lol! Kidding! I get your point, but mine sure isn't impossible.... as a girl myself, i have worn dresses that actually left marks in snow now that i think of it... [[User:Jibblejibblejibble|Jibblejibblejibble]] 23:10, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
:::Actually, this bodes well with [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], where it's revealed that she has no legs, and that her body occupies the space underneath her skirt. But her section on [[Lack of Visible Body Parts#Marzipan's Legs|Lack of Visible Body Parts]] is just completely contradictory, or, if I may borrow words from [[Strong Bad]]'s article, "purposely ambiguous." {{User:Soiled Bargains/sig}} 03:39, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Mark Lemke

Garfunkel — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 16:56:21 GMT

Garfunkel: /* Appearances */ Lemke is on Mark Lemke's birthday

[[Image:Lemke08.jpg|thumb|200px|Mark Lemke in action]]
'''[[Wikipedia:Mark Lemke|Mark Lemke]]''' is a former [[Wikipedia:Major League Baseball|Major League]] [[Wikipedia:Baseball|Baseball]] player for the [[Atlanta Braves]], [[The Brothers Chaps|TBC]]'s home team. He was indirectly the inspiration for [[Homestar Runner]]'s name, and as a tribute to this, his last name appears in a number of odd places in the [[Homestar Runner universe]].

==Origin==

'''Taken from an [[UMFM Interview - 20 May 2003|interview]] with [[The Brothers Chaps]]'''

<blockquote>...there was an old local grocery store commercial, and we live in Atlanta, and it advertised the Atlanta Braves. It was like, "the Atlanta Braves hit home runs, and you can hit a home run with savings here!" And so there was this player named Mark Lemke, and they said something like "All star second baseman for the Braves." And our friend knows nothing about sports, and so he would always do his old timey radio impression of this guy, and not knowing any positions in baseball or whatever, he'd just be like, "Homestar Runner for the Braves." And we were just like, "Homestar Runner? That's the best thing we've ever heard!"</blockquote>

In a [http://www.adventuregamers.com/article/id,957 2008 interview], it was revealed that the friend was [[Wikipedia:James_Husband|Jamey Huggins]], who now plays in the band [[Wikipedia:Of Montreal|Of Montreal]].

Lemke was the regular second baseman for the Atlanta Braves from 1990 through 1997 and no longer plays in the majors. According to MLB's website, he was never an All-Star. Mark Lemke was known as the Braves' "Mr. October" after stellar post-season performances [http://www.baseballlibrary.com/ballplayers/player.php?name=Mark_Lemke_1965&page=stats].

Talk:Weekly Fanstuff 2005

Garfunkel: smooshed strongblecakes = cookies from Alamo Drafthouse?

== smooshed strongblecakes = cookies from Alamo Drafthouse? ==

An anonymous contributor surmised that the "smooshed strongblecakes" were cookies given to the Brothers Chaps at their Alamo Drafthouse appearance in 2005 (see the last item on the [[Talk:Alamo_Drafthouse_-_10_Jun_2005|event summary]]). [http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Weekly_Fanstuff_2005&diff=623669&oldid=623516 Their edit] was reverted, but I think they may be on to something. The pictures from the Alamo Drafthouse [http://community.livejournal.com/homestar_runner/1320080.html blog post] are gone now-- does anyone have them? --[[User:Garfunkel|Garfunkel]] 05:17, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Garfunkel: rv myself- the toon menu is not a toon

There are a surprising number of words which have been used only once in the Homestar Runner universe. They range from unusual (cacodemons) to commonplace (cigars). In this list, each word is linked to the email, toon or other item where the word is uniquely found. See if you can guess the source before clicking the link.

Feel free to extend this list, adding new words in alphabetical order. '''The word must be seen or heard only once.''' If it's heard and seen simultaneously, that's OK. If it's a special case, like a word that happens twice (or, rarely, three times) in one and only one toon, put it in the [[#Honorable Mention|Honorable Mention]] section.

No unique/incorrect spellings (buisness), coined words (SBLOUNSKCHED!), proper names (Mudgeman), non-English words, etc. are allowed. A real word used as a slang word unassociated with the word's meaning (e.g. "stampers") is disallowed. Just plain words used as plain words, please. If a word is spelled correctly once and misspelled again, that counts as two instances of that word (because misspellings aren't correct) and the word isn't a one-time word. Ex. "cigarette" in [[space program]] and "cigarrette" in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 5]] count as two uses of the same word "cigarette", and therefore neither qualifies here.

Only toons (big, shorts, SBEmails, Answering Machines, character pages, etc.) count, including the Easter eggs within the toon. Don't include the actual games, Videlectrix pages, Strong Sad's Lament, other webpages opened through Easter eggs, commentaries, etc. Link with the toon's name so others can guess the answer.

Feel free to sign any words you add to the list. Please use only three tildes (<nowiki>~~~</nowiki>) to produce a signature but no time stamp. This is not a contest, this is only an exhibition; please, no [[Wikipedia:David Letterman|wagering]].

User:Qermaq/Words said or seen once

Garfunkel — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 04:53:18 GMT

Garfunkel: /* Words heard/seen only once in H*R cartoons */ rem."zesty" because it appears twice on the site. It's in Xeriously Forxe and its corresponding toon menu description

There are a surprising number of words which have been used only once in the Homestar Runner universe. They range from unusual (cacodemons) to commonplace (cigars). In this list, each word is linked to the email, toon or other item where the word is uniquely found. See if you can guess the source before clicking the link.

Feel free to extend this list, adding new words in alphabetical order. '''The word must be seen or heard only once.''' If it's heard and seen simultaneously, that's OK. If it's a special case, like a word that happens twice (or, rarely, three times) in one and only one toon, put it in the [[#Honorable Mention|Honorable Mention]] section.

No unique/incorrect spellings (buisness), coined words (SBLOUNSKCHED!), proper names (Mudgeman), non-English words, etc. are allowed. A real word used as a slang word unassociated with the word's meaning (e.g. "stampers") is disallowed. Just plain words used as plain words, please. If a word is spelled correctly once and misspelled again, that counts as two instances of that word (because misspellings aren't correct) and the word isn't a one-time word. Ex. "cigarette" in [[space program]] and "cigarrette" in [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 5]] count as two uses of the same word "cigarette", and therefore neither qualifies here.

Only toons (big, shorts, SBEmails, Answering Machines, character pages, etc.) count, including the Easter eggs within the toon. Don't include the actual games, Videlectrix pages, Strong Sad's Lament, other webpages opened through Easter eggs, commentaries, etc. Link with the toon's name so others can guess the answer.

Feel free to sign any words you add to the list. Please use only three tildes (<nowiki>~~~</nowiki>) to produce a signature but no time stamp. This is not a contest, this is only an exhibition; please, no [[Wikipedia:David Letterman|wagering]].

Garfunkel: rv. "God" is used as a name here so it should be "God" not "god." The same difference between "Mom" and "a mom"

== Hints and Tips ==
* When talking to Ripberger, just use "talk ripberger" or "talk magistrate" in lowercase letters. Otherwise, the game may not recognize the command.
* Type "look map" at any time to view the map. note that you must ALREADY have the map before you can look at it.
* When fighting monsters in the maze, use the attack that starts with that monster's name. Therefore...
** Strike [[Longrels, Hongrels, and Mongrels|Longrels]] Low
** Strike [[Longrels, Hongrels, and Mongrels|Hongrels]] High
** Strike [[Longrels, Hongrels, and Mongrels|Mongrels]] Middlin

== Walkthrough ==

{{spoiler}}

After giving your name at the beginning, type "hold breath" (or "nose") and "get tinkle" (or "metal"), which is a key in the chamber pot. ("reach into chamberpot" also works.) Don't forget to BREATHE. Type "breathe", "release nose", "unplug nose", "let go nose" or "smell".

"get hay", which turns out to be moldy bread.

"open door" and go "south".

"look at david bowie" (optional).

"use key" to unlock the drawer.

"get map". "look map" to get the maze directions. It disintegrates, so you'll have to write them down.

Go "north" and "talk magistrate".

Go "north", where you'll find a rat with a nametag. "look at nametag" (his name is Percy) and "talk to percy". He'll offer you the plague.

Go "north", and you'll get the plague (this can't be avoided).

"get mop", as you will need it to fight off monsters.

Now follow the directions from the map (see above). If you'd like, you can stop to "mop" when you see stains (there's a stain in every room of the maze). This is completely optional, and you only earn "experience points" from doing this (which do not add to your point total.) (Note: If you "mop stain" in a room where you've already cleaned the stain, you leave a new stain behind thanks to your "increasingly soiled mop".)

To kill the monsters use the strike with the same letter as the beginning of the monster's name (eg. "middlin" for Mongrel, "high" for Hongrel, and "low" for Longrel).

When you get to the kitchen, go "eastward" (you can't just type "east" or "e" here) to the infirmary.

"talk to doctor". Say "no" when he asks if you can wait. He'll saw off your plague, give you a sucker, and send you back to the kitchen. Do not talk to the healer; the doctor and the healer are separate entities.

"look at placard".

"get picture".

"talk to chef". He is really a [[Dongrel]]. "use picture" or "use sucker" to make Dongrel drop your mop, then "get mop" and "use mop" (if you never "talk to chef", you can skip straight to "use mop" and avoid losing 1 life).

It doesn't matter what command you enter next. Percy will show up. "take off loincloth" or "give loincloth" to kill him.

You win and IT'S OVER!!

== Fun Facts ==


===Explanations===
*The second-to-last letter in "Auguft" is supposed to be a [[Wikipedia:long s|long s]] ("ſ"), which resembles a lowercase "f".
*A [[Wikipedia:Mongrel|mongrel]] is an animal or a plant resulting from various interbreedings, especially a dog of mixed or undetermined breed.

===Remarks===
*The map is not necessary to win the game, and therefore neither is the key. It's possible to beat the game without ever taking the key from the chamber pot or entering Ripberger's office (though you'll have a low score).
*Although the map disintegrates the first time you look at it, you can still "look map" after that to recall the map from your "parchmentic memory". Your "parchmentic memory" is wrong, so write down the moves from the first time you looked at the map.

===Goofs===
*The map you get in the game is slightly incorrect. The direction listed in bold has been left out: "West, West, North, West, North, North, '''North,''' East, East, North, East, North, North." (The map shown above is correct.)
*The game says that the maximum score is 100, but unless you use "get flask", there is no way to obtain this score. The maximum without "get flask" is 96.
**It is also possible to get a score higher than 100, if you continue to "get flask".
*When the King shows up at the end, the text is misspelled "Congratualtions" instead of "congratulations".
*When you get the hay in the cell, the second "moldy" is misspelled as "modly".
*If a non-understandable command is typed, the game will respond, "That does not computeth. Type HELP '''is''' thou needs of it." instead of "if".
*In the sentence "Thou art as naked as the day god made thee.", the word "god" should be capitalized.

===Glitches===
* When you go north from the office, you are given the description of the office, but are really in the hallway as expected.
* If you die, when you're asked "Play Again? [Y/N]", pressing N doesn't do anything.
* If you type "south" or "s" after the magistrate goes into his office, it will show a different response right after the normal one.
* If you "take off loincloth" or "remove loincloth" before you are supposed to, the game will play as if you are still wearing it (i.e. you still stuff things into it, and Ripberger doesn't mention you being naked).
* If you press down on the arrows, the "that does not computeth" screen comes up, but if you press it many times fast, it will appear many times filling up almost the entire narration text space.
* While in the maze, you can eat bread (and get the points and reset the plague counter) even if you never collected the bread. However, in the infirmary, you cannot eat bread at all no matter what you did, even though you'll still have the plague.

===Inside References===
*This game is a sequel of [[Thy Dungeonman]], introduced in the Strong Bad Email [[video games]].
*[[Dan]] is also referenced if at any time you type "Dan".

===Real-World References===
*In the Magistrate's office are three paintings, one of [[wikipedia:King Arthur|King Arthur]], King Graham, and [[Wikipedia:David Bowie|David Bowie]]. "King Graham" is probably a reference to either the hero of the PC game [[wikipedia:King's Quest|King's Quest]], or [[wikipedia:Graham Chapman|Graham Chapman]], who played King Arthur in ''[[Monty Python|Monty Python and the Holy Grail]]''.
**If you "look david bowie" in the the magistrate's office, the game replies: "There's something about that man... The picture was taken during the Tin Machine era. Thou art more of a Ziggy Stardust fan."
***David Bowie is a famous English rock artist whose career has spanned from the '60s to the present.
***Tin Machine was a four-piece rock band he formed from 1989 to 1992. Bowie dressed in suits and wore a mustache and beard.
***Ziggy Stardust was an androgynous character David Bowie invented and performed as for his classic 1972 album, ''[[Wikipedia:The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars|The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars]]''. Bowie wore wild, Japan-influenced outfits and the wild red hair that Strong Sad [[Halloween Fairstival Costumes|wears]] in [[Halloween Fairstival]].
*Nutella is a real food made of hazelnut and chocolate. Nutella is meant to be used as a dip or food spread.
*When you enter your name, one of the things the game calls your name is "scrumtrilescent", which is a reference to Saturday Night Live's spoof of Inside the Actors' studio, wherein James Lipton (Will Ferrell) says "That show was delightful. No. No. It was brilliant. No, no, no, no. There is no word to describe its perfection, so I am forced to make one up. And I'm going to do so right now. Scrumtrilescent."
*Ripburger is also the name of a character from the [[Wikipedia:lucasarts|Lucasarts]] game [[Wikipedia:Full Throttle|Full Throttle]].
*The Enchantment under the Parapets dance may be a reference to the "Enchantment Under the Sea" dance in ''[[Back to the Future]]''.
*Looking at the sous-chef/dongrel after it has been revealed says "That dongrel is one bad moth... Shut yo mouth!", referring to the theme from [[Wikipedia:Shaft (1971 film)|Shaft]], in which a line is often similarly censored.
*If you attempt to search the hay after obtaining the bread, the game's narrator will mock you saying, "If thou only hadst a brain, thou would remember searching it quite thoroughly already." The first part of this is based on "If I Only Had a Brain" from ''[[The Wizard of Oz]]''.
*The reference to a janitor in this game could also be a reference to a Sierra game called Space Quest, where you play a janitor named Roger Wilco on an adventure. The box art also puts Thy Dungeonman in a pose similar to that of Roger.
*"1/100 of a gilderupee" refers to the estimated value of a [[Wikipedia:coupon|coupon]]
*Wicked Scepter is the name of a parody heavy metal band from the David Cross and Bob Odenkirk HBO series Mr. Show.
*Killing a Hongrel causes the one-liner "It's just a little crush," which comes from [[Wikipedia:Jennifer Paige|Jennifer Paige's]] 1998 single ''Crush''. Both Paige and the Chapmans come from metro Atlanta.
*The message for Killing a Longrel says that 'thou smotes its ruin', which may be a reference to Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings. He describes his defeat of the Balrog as "I threw down my enemy, and he fell from the high place, and broke the mountain-side where he smote it in his ruin." The film version of the book also said something similar; "Until at last I threw down my enemy and smote his ruin upon the mountainside."
*If you try to give something you don't have, the game states: "Just like ye to giveth away something thou doesn't have. And ye STILL has my [[Nintendo#Game Boy|Game Boy]]."

===Fast Forward===
*[[Ripberger]] becomes the name of a [[Cheat Commando]].

== Side of the box there... ==

Just so you know, the "barely visible" cereal box side there has a picture of blue laser (or one of his minions), meaning that the box was probably made thoroughly, fully and was probably going to be shown in full, but has yet to be shown as such. is this worth mentioning as a fun fact or trivia? Reasoning behind this is that they could've just slapped the front on any old cereal box they desired, but it seems to me that they made their own full cereal box. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 03:45, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
:Hey. The most we could say right now is "there may be more on the box that we just can't see but there's no way of knowing if there is." I'd say that's not a fun fact, as it is neither fun nor fact. It could only be trivia if we knew for certain that there was more to the design. --[[User:Garfunkel|Garfunkel]] 04:07, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

== www. not part of the domain... ==

Just so you're aware, homestarrunner is actually the domain name... www. is the prefix and .com is the suffix. Technically, that article should only say homestarrunner, and not have either the prefix or the suffix. Also note that if homestarrunner.com allowed you to login, you would quickly find out that www.homestarrunner.com and homestarrunner.com are both ''different'' domain names if you say otherwise. {{User:ColdReactive/sig}} 03:45, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
:Yes, www.homestartunner.com and homestarrunner.com go to the same place. However, go to any domain name registrar and try to register "www.homestarrunner.com" ... you can't. "www" is a subdomain. I changed [[Harmless Junk, Inc.|that article]] because it says "December 6, 1999 — Registered the domain name ..." and "www" is not a part of an actual domain name. It is, as I said, a subdomain. Believe me, I used to work for a domain name registrar. It goes www = [[wikipedia:Subdomain|subdomain]], homestarrunner.com = [[wikipedia:Domain name|domain name]]. ".com" is actually the [[wikipedia:Top-level domain|top-level domain (TLD)]], but that nomenclature is not noted unless referring to only the TLD by itself.

:::The article is correct with Avalyn's changes. You can only register "homestarrunner.com", not "www.homestarrunner.com" or "homestarrunner".

'''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 center 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 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 Sega Genesis port of 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 (misspelled 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, the contrast on the computer can still be changed.
*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|playing the Nintendo Wii version]].
*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 ([[wikipedia:Thorn (letter)|Þ]] and [[wikipedia:Eth|Ð]]), but the first printing presses, built in Germany, did not contain those 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 no one can control him, yet he is the playable character in both ''Rhino Feeder'' and ''Secret Collect''. Further releases contradict this claim as well, as Strong Bad is the playable character in the [[Egg Throwing Game]], [[Fishing Challenge '91]], [[Strong Bad's Treat Snatcha]], and perhaps most notably, ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People]]''.
*When the videogame boxes appear, you can use the Tab key to cycle through the click-able objects; however, Secret Collect. is not highlighted unless you select it with the arrow keys.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Video games a prompt goof.png|thumb|Oops!]]
*When Strong Bad pours the drink out for Taylor, some of the dust at the top of the Compy's screen from the [[army|previous email]] is still there, 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!", the top of the Compy has 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."
*The name Strong Bad Zone is likely a reference to [[Wikipedia: Battlezone|Battlezone]], another popular vector game.

===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 in the email says "graphics shmaphics", [[Thy Dungeonman 3]] did use graphics.
**Additionally, the player can get ye flask in that game.

== DVD Version ==
*None of the four games are playable. As well, the game boxes don't automatically come up. Instead, they are accessible 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 the 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.

Xeriouxly Forxe

Garfunkel — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 19:13:55 GMT

Garfunkel: /* Inside References */ Reminiscent of "The CROSSOVER no one was asking for!"

{{toonnav|Holiday Toon|aprilfool10|Punkin Show|Homestarloween Party}}
[[File:HSR Xeriouxly Forxe.png|thumb|250px|"Xhut up and juxt xay your linex!"]]
On [[Holidays#April Fools' Day (April 1st)|April Fools' Day]] 2010, Homestar and the other main characters get xtreme new forms for the nineties!

'''Cast:''' {{film|Homestar Runner}}/H. Star, {{film|Strong Bad}}/S. Bad, {{film|Pom Pom}}/Pom, {{film|Marzipan}}/M.Z. Pan, {{film|Coach Z}}/Zoach C, {{film|The Poopsmith}}/The Smith, {{film|Strong Sad}}/S. Sad, {{film|The Cheat}}/Ch8t, {{film|Strong Mad}}/S. Mad, {{film|Bubs}}/Bubz, {{film|The King of Town}}/Xing Town, {{film|Homsar}}/Still Homsar

'''Places:''' [[The Field]]

'''Date:''' March 31, 2010 (around 23:00 ET)

'''Running Time:''' 0:54

'''Page Title:''' Exerybody! Exerybody!

==Transcript==
''{Homestar Runner is running across The Field. The singers sing along, as with the [[Intro]].}''

'''SINGERS:''' Everybody! Everybody!

''{The scene starts to skip.}''

'''SINGERS:''' Eh-! Eh-! Eh-!

''{The scene skips faster before a rock version of the Intro takes over. The aspect ratio expands from standard to widescreen. During the rock intro, it shows [[Xeriouxly Forxe Visuals|slides of the characters]]. In turn, lightning turns the characters into their [[Xeriouxly Forxe Character Variations|Xeriouxly Forxe forms]].}''

'''SINGER:''' Everybody! E-e-e-everybody! 
Everybody! E-e-e-everybody! 
Everybody! E-e-e-everybody! 
Revamped for the nineties! 
So much more exciting!

Pointy elbows and lots of lightning! 
Edgy and angry, so zesty and tangy! 
There's new demographics 
When nobody asked for it! 

Everybody! E-e-e-everybody! 
Right now!

''{The sides of the screen come together with an explosion. All twelve main characters in Xeriouxly Forxe style appear around the title "HSR Xeriouxly Forxe".}''

'''H. STAR:''' ''{struggling, through gritted teeth}'' Xeriouxly Forxe! ''{turning around}'' Did I say that right?

'''S. BAD:''' ''{also through gritted teeth}'' Xhut up and juxt xay your linex! ''{mumbling, in Strong Bad's voice}'' Aah, it's really hard to talk like xhix.

''{After a few moments, the viewer is redirected to [[Main Page 21]].}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The whole toon is based on the phenomenon of cartoons that gain [[tvtropes:DarkerAndEdgier|unnecessarily edgy revamps]]. 

===Trivia===
*The [[FeedBurner Page#Toons - Homestar Runner: XERIOUXLY FORXE!|RSS description]] of this toon is:
<blockquote>Homestar and Strong Bad are BACK like you've never seen them before! Pointier, angrier, pre-teenier!! The 6-12 demographic won't know what hit em when they witness Xeriouxly Forxe, the all-new adventures of Homestar Runner and friends with a bold new look and an edgier style that just screams, "Hey 6-12 demographic! Do you know what hit you? Can you tell our focus group person that you don't know what hit you, please?" With all those X's in the name, it has to be cool! </blockquote>
*This toon marked the first time in nearly five months that [[homestarrunner.com]] received a new toon, the longest hiatus to date.
*[[Appearances by All 12 Main Characters|All 12 main characters]] appear in this toon.
*This is the third toon in the site to be in [[Widescreen Toons|widescreen]], and the first non-[[Strong Bad Email]] toon to be in said format (not counting [[Main Page 22]]).
*This toon has exactly [[666]] frames, though the viewers are redirected to [[Main Page 21]] in frame number 645, and nothing else happens in the extra frames.
*If we can count Still Homsar as a variation, this is the first time all 12 main characters receive a variation.
===Remarks===
*Except for Homsar (who doesn't change at all), every character that normally [[Lack of visible arms|lacks visible arms]] gains some sort of appendages (Marzipan gains tentacles) when upgraded.
*Coach Z and the King of Town have [[Lack of Visible Body Parts|gained visible mouths]].
*Homestar's eyes blink in their usual pattern, even though the video at the beginning is supposedly skipping.
**The background also only slightly skips back and then continues as normal, not matching the audio skip.

===Goofs===
*While The Smith raises his ax, you can see a small part of it through his forehead.

===Fixed Goofs===
*After The Poopsmith is transformed, the cutaway to the next character showed The Poopsmith in non-transformed form. This was fixed within a half-hour of release.

===Inside References===
*S. Sad has the head of an [[elephant]].
*[[Seriously|Xeriouxly]] is in the new name.
*The Cheat used "Ch8t" previously in [[mile]] and [[bedtime story]].
*The [[Teen Girl Squad]] were said to be "revamped for the nineties" in [[Homestarrunner.com PAY PLUS!]].
*The line "There's new demographics when nobody asked for it" is reminiscent of "The CROSSOVER no one was asking for!" from an Easter Egg in [[Teen_Girl_Squad_Issue_14#Easter_Eggs | Teen Girl Squad Issue 14]].
*Zoach C's boots bear a similarity to [[Stinkoman]]'s.
*Zoach C's name is a [[spoonerism]].
*The [[explosion]] behind the logo is the same one used when the [[Visor Robot]] malfunctions in [[Senor Mortgage]].

===Real-World References===
*H. Star has [[Wikipedia:Doctor Octopus|Doctor Octopus]]-style mechanical arms strapped around his neck.
*S. Bad has a variation of the [[Batman]] emblem on his mask.


===Fast Forward===
*Soon after this toon was released, Xeriouxly Forxe got its own Main Page, [[Main Page 26]], where they would X-ify [[Marshie]] and [[The Stick]].

*On the DVD commentary for [[love poems]], it is suggested that the email be categorized as a "Not Quite Teen Girl Squad", based on the Teen Girl Squad cutaway scene (in reference to the [[:Category:Not Quite Strong Bad Emails|Not Quite Strong Bad Emails category]]). They also parody the fun fact categories, suggesting that Homestar's hair tucking into his sweater is "a goof, and a glitch, and a reference, and a real-world reference, and an inside reference".
*The DVD commentary for [[rated]] talks about how the Wiki unscrambled the image on the TV.
*In the DVD commentary for [[pizza joint]], Mike mentions learning about [[hammerspace]] from the Wiki. Matt pokes fun at the [[Disconnected Telephones]] page.
*In the DVD commentary for [[mini-golf]], Matt mentions learning the concept of the [[wikipedia:ouroboros|ouroboros]] from the Wiki and Mike talks about searching for The Cheat's arms.
*The DVD commentary for [[rough copy]] suggests that the appearance of the barbed wire costumes' negative space was listed as a goof on the Wiki (it was not). They claim it to be a stylistic choice. They also jokingly suggest that most of their goofs are a "laziness choice".
*"The Homestar Wiki" is thanked in the credits for all of the [[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People|SBCG4AP]] games.
*For over a year, the Wiki incorrectly reported that [[Mike Chapman]] did the voice of [[Mr. Bland]]. This was corrected after [[Matt Chapman]] revealed that this was a mistake during the [[Strongest Man in the World#Commentary Transcript|hidden creators' commentary]] of [[Strongest Man in the World]] on the DVD [[Everything Else, Volume 3]].
*The [[Quote of the Week]]s released on October 25, 2007, and September 22, 2005 were originally identical. However, the 2007 quote was changed within hours of being added to the site. The quote that it was changed to was suggested in the edit summary of [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Quote_of_the_Week&diff=next&oldid=507707 the edit adding the previous quote to the HRWiki article].
*During the [[Late Nite JengaJam Interview - 4 Oct 2007|Late Nite JengaJam Interview]], Matt mentions the Wiki when they talk about letting the fans run their own community (rather than hosting their own [[Strong Bad's Message Bored|message board]]).

Jam Box

Garfunkel: rv. It's the same one in "Everybody Knows It," which is the debut appearance. Perhaps the 1st paragraph needs revision/clarification?

[[Image:FlashbackJamBox.PNG|thumb|150px|Great for putting one's weight on it]] The '''Jam Box''' is an extremely expensive radio with high-speed dubbing used in [[flashback]] and in [[Puppet Stuff|puppet]] form.

Garfunkel: /* Again? */ It still works for me

Man, I was hoping for something really good. This April Fool's wasn't all that funny, and it simply made an ugly mess of the Main Pages. I just hope that this just means that email 150 is that much better! --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:36, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

== How did they do it? ==

Does any one know how they did it? I doubt they manually fliped every movie (and 150 sbemails).

:[[Sbemail 150?!?|149.5]] actually. They did it by changing all the embedded swf files to "theyCallHimFlipper.swf?contentURL=name of original swf file.swf", which flips them over. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}} 14:50, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

== Changed throughout the early morning ==

I was there at random times up until about 2 am (darn college lifestyle) At some point the main page and the toons menu page were both unrotated. They also had the Weeklies items (QFSR) moved at about the same time.

Anyone else get a chance to see this?
:I did. --{{User:The thing/sig}} 15:17, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

== Déjà vû… ==

Man, all those glitches remind me so badly of the subtitles Flash thingy I made back in the day... Exactly like Flipper, it had to load a swf from the Homestar site and display it with various differences (flipper has it upside down, subtitles had it with text overlayed). I had the same problem with weird-proportion toons (took about a page worth of geometry and algebra to fix that one), toons that used <code>_root</code> (it took me ''days'' to find <code>_lockroot</code>), and missing text in certain toons (I never fixed this one... I "fixed" it by never subtitling [[Under Construction]]...). It doesn't surprise me one bit that [[TBC]] hit the same problems. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 17:25, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

i have deja vu to. the upside down strong bad email gives me deja vu... {{User:Slipknot6477/sig}} 03:02, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

== What about us? ==

Should we make some mention of hrwiki's AFD adventures? Especially considering the fact that our admins joke was much better than even the Brothers Chaps' and should go down in Homestar Runner History. Of course it makes sense for it to be in the history of the wiki, but maybe at least a mention as a fun fact... -privatedrew
:It could go on the history section of our site. I think it's called HRWiki:A History or something.

== Too much spare time ==

The fact that you guys had enough time to go through every e-mail and main page to find problems really makes me wonder what some people value in life. {{unsigned|24.23.58.165|April 2, 2005}}

:No, but the Flash file that flips the pages, theyCallHimFlipper.swf, is considered a [[Site Component]].

so... where is they call him flipper embedded? {{User:Slipknot6477/sig}} 16:08, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

== Flip Anytime ==

You know that some some computers can flip their screen? Just press Ctrl + Alt + The Down Arrow. Only some can. To redo your screen Just press Ctrl + Alt + The Up Arrow.
*From Onestop

== How? ==

How does the flash file work? I tried decompiling it but there was an empty stage and some actionscript. When I clicked on the frame, the align panel said "rotate: 180" btu there was nothing there! Could one of the more experienced flash users help me out on this? --{{User:Homfrog/sig}} 20:22, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

== Problems with Lappy Screen... ==

A glitch where when you hold down the mouse button (IE: like you're touching the lappy screen itself) doesn't stay touched. This may be due to incorrect masking. --[[User:99.153.135.134|99.153.135.134]] 04:33, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
:Yes, it's actually already in [[April Fools' 2006#Glitches|Glitches]]. There's an explanation for why it did that, but I don't understand any of it. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 12:16, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

== Rename ==

Since this toon was never given an official name, I think it should be moved to [[April Fool 06]] to match the newest April Fools' Day article, [[April Fool 09]], which was given that name on Homestar Runner.com. {{User:Homestar-winner/sig}} 22:22, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
: I don't think so. For starters, this isn't a toon, and the name we have now is technically superior to April Fool 06 given that neither is officially on the site. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:44, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

== Where is it? Where is it? ==

It's gone! They Call Him Flipper is gone! I guess TBC are cleaning up the [[Homestar Runner's Website|wedsite]] a bit.
:It works for me... {{User:That'sBupkis/sig}} 15:05, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
::For me, it still doesn't work, and it's February 5th. I don't have a problem with updates, usually; I always get them the day they happen, so either you aren't getting the update, or something very strange is going on...
:::On my computer, I see no problem with the TCHF Flash files, but since that is not the case for you, I suggest you install [[User:Phlip|Phlip's]] [[User:Phlip/Greasemonkey|Greasemonkey script]] if you would like to watch the cartoons upside down. {{User:Shine Sprite/sig}} 14:56, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
::::The links to TCHF were just removed, but it still works for me. {{User:That'sBupkis/sig}} 14:57, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

== It's back, but... ==

I was the one who noticed that it was gone a few months ago. However, now that it is back, it appears to be an older version of Flipper. Even though I was not on the site when it happened, I looked at the fixed glitches and found that most of them are still happening now. This means they could have taken it down and then put up the older one by mistake.--{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 16:05, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

== Again? ==

AAAAAAAAAAAnd now it's gone AGAIN! What are they doing to the site? --{{User:Purple Wrench/sig}} 17:03, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Garfunkel: /* Possibly not just a refrence to all these cartoon revamps */ I don't think it is about YouTube

== Revamped For the '90s ==

Is it worth mentioning that a 90s-revamp of "Teen Girl Squad" was also proposed in "Pay Plus"? {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 04:17, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

I mentioned it. [[User:TheLupineOne|TheLupineOne]] 14:16, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:And I reworded it. They aren't the same types of revamps, but the exact quote was still used. {{User:Bad Bad Guy/sig}} 15:11, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

I propose we do some discussion here of particulars, before we take our edits to the page. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 04:28, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

=== Not revamped for the '90s ===

I don't hear "revamped" or anything even remotely like it. I hear a definite long A/short E sound, which fits with "Is there", as I originally transcribed it, and I don't hear the "Re" one used claimed they were sure of. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:27, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:I also hear "is there" unfortunately, as revamped sort of fits better. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 04:29, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::I never said it didn't fit better. Just that I don't hear it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:30, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

===Revamped/Is there===
I hear "revamped". It seems to me that there is a distinct "p" sound in there. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 04:28, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:As stated above, I don't hear anything that sounds even remotely similar to "revamped". I hear "Is there". --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:30, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::I disagree; I think I here a long E/short A sound, the reverse of what Jay says. That would fit "revamped". --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 04:38, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:::Not only does the vowel as I hear it not agree with you, but I also hear a clear "Z" sound before it, and an "R" sound after, as in "Is there". (The "TH" sound being slurred in is normal for English.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:40, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::::I hear "revamped". Or at least, I hear that a lot more than I do "is there", for largely the same reasons as SMB. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 04:42, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::I hear something in between the V and the Z sounds, X maybe? jk but i'm not sure whether i hear a Z or a V there. i'm leaning towards the Z. as for the vowels, long E as in "Cheat" first and then A as in "Bad", "Mad", or "Sad". if i try to hear "is there", it sounds wrong. i hear the "Re" at the beginning of the word that i mentioned earlier. no idea what comes after that. so putting all this together, let's see...re-zamped? that doesn't mean anything though. i don't think anything fits. that probably means i'm wrong. though if it is a V, revamped works just fine. {{User:The Knights Who Say Ni/sig}} 04:53, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

: I'm listening and listening and listening. On two computers with different speakers. With my nice high-quality headphones. It simply does not sound like "revamped". It has none of the correct sounds. It's two syllables, and that's all the similarity I hear. "Is there", "is there", "is there". It's all I hear! --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:26, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::To me, it sounds like '''PREPARE''' for the nineties. Which is what I thought it was the first time I heard it this morning. To me, it's definitely not "revamped", and "is there" really makes no freakin' sense! '''''[[user:Kyojikasshu|kyojikasshu]]''''' 01:12, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
:::I have to agree with Kyojikasshu. There is a loud and clear syllable which I can hear and can clarify it sounds like "air". Which leads me to assume the word is '''Prepare'''. --{{User:Record307/sig}} 01:20, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
::::"Prepare" is definitely closer to what I hear, but this is why "is there" is what occurred to me: "Everybody is there for the nineties". Notice that I never put a punctuation mark on the last "Everybody" (and whoever changed it to "revamped" did not think to put it on.) I still hear "is there", but I'd be far more willing to compromise with "prepare". --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:44, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
::::And now that it's been pointed out to me, I can force myself to hear "prepare". I simply cannot force myself to hear "revamped". So, yeah, I'm not complaining if that's where the consensus goes. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:49, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::You're not alone, Jay. I hear "is there", as well. I suppose it could be "prepare", but I didn't hear any "P" sound. And in no way, shape, or form can I hear "revamped". -{{User:YK/sig}} 06:59, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
I actually hear "Revamp" instead of Revamped. Not prepare, Revamp.--[[Special:Contributions/70.176.220.156|70.176.220.156]] 17:32, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
:I think everyone is getting confused because it basically says, "eez there for the 90's" which is why everyone hears re, although I have no clue where they get vamped from. That doesn't even make sense. Someone should run it through a language analyzer thingamajig.

During the exchange they took the opportunity to help us out with this toon's lyrics. {{p|l={{FULLURL:Xeriouxly Forxe|diff=698331&oldid=698329}} This edit}} is based on information provided directly from them. Tom can confirm. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:57, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

:I confirm. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 02:59, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
::Oooooookay. That is the most long-A-short-E-sounding-est alleged short-A I have heard in my life. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:39, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
:::Both of the things fixed above have been further confirmed with the release of [[Main Page 26]]. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:53, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
::::I was right! Huzzah!

=== Right Now? ===
I hear "E-e-e-everybody '''but you!'''", not E-e-e-everybody '''right now!'''" --[[User:SBE-mail Checker Dan|SBE-mail Checker Dan]] 01:35, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
:The lyrics have been officially confirmed as-is. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 01:38, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
::No, just the "So zesty and tangy" part. --[[User:SBE-mail Checker Dan|SBE-mail Checker Dan]] 01:40, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
:::"As for Xeriously Forxe lyrics, the wiki is right about everything (it is ''revamped'' for the nineties) except the 'so deadly and jangly' should be 'so zesty and tangy.'" — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:47, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
::::Care to explain the quote, Dot Com? Perhaps some REAL confirmation. It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I'm the kind of guy that needs true proof before believes something. (On an unrelated note, I'm not completely convinced about the sbemail136 alternate version things, either) --[[User:SBE-mail Checker Dan|SBE-mail Checker Dan]] 01:50, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
:::::Then you probably never will be. The previous thread, including Tom's reply, is all I have to say about that. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:54, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
::::::That only confirmed "zesty and tangy" and "revamped for the nineties". Nothing on "Everybody 'but you'/'right now'" --[[User:SBE-mail Checker Dan|SBE-mail Checker Dan]] 01:58, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
:::::::He said "the wiki is right about everything" else. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:04, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
::::::::In that case, I am convinced. --[[User:SBE-mail Checker Dan|SBE-mail Checker Dan]] 02:07, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

===Invisicomments===
Now that New Stuff and Main Page 26 have also confirmed the correct lyrics, can we remove the invisicomments from the transcript? {{User:RickTommy/sig}} 02:00, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
:They're not hurting anything, and they could yet be helpful. It's certainly not worth the edit it would take to remove them. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 02:04, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

== With and without "www" ==

Is it worth mentioning that for a while www.homestarrunner.com showed this whereas homestarrunner.com was still the [[Index Page]]?
:It's possible that you were looking at a cached version of the sans-www page for a while. It's unlikely that the two pages would differ. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 04:49, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::Actually, they're two different URIs, so they very well can differ, though usual practice is to have them both point to the same location. However, if maintenance is being done or something goes awry, they can point to different locations, including invalid ones.
:No. Cause it shows it with and with www on my end. [[User:Spongeboy541|Spongeboy541]] 04:50, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::Yes, *now* it does. That's why I said "for a while".

== Visuals ==

Are the visuals gonna be added? [[User:RickTommy|RickTommy]] [[User talk:RickTommy|talk]] [[Image:slang.PNG|50px]] 05:34, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:Most likely, someone will eventually create a separate page, per our standards. Unrelatedly, do you have a colon before the template name of your signature in your preferences? Your entire signature is being copied into the talk page, instead of just the standard template. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 05:45, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

== SWF (for mirror) ==

I xaved the XWF for when thix getx taken down bij the Brotherx Chapx. {{User:Dagoth/sig}} 07:01, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:Me too, but I bet they link to it somewhere. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:08, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

== Not working ==

It's not playing for me. Flash file is, but when i go to www.homestarrunner.com, it doesn't work... {{unsigned|Open Source Greg|08:36, 1 April 2010 (UTC)}}

== Screengrabs ==

Can someone get screengrabs of the 12 HSR Xeriouxly Forxe characters (inc. Still Homsar) for a Xeriouxly Forxe Characters page?
:Seems like a good [[Minor Character Variations]]. I'll get to work on it. {{User:StrongAwesome74/sig}} 14:48, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::Or.....maybe i won't. For some reason, I can't create new pages, including uploading files. Though I have no idea why, it's probably because it's April Fools Day and they don't want people making nonsense pages. Just a guess. {{User:StrongAwesome74/sig}} 15:02, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:::[[Stylized Characters]] would be more appropriate (and just a single grab is necessary!) {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 15:27, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

==No one likes Still Homsar==
At the end, when H. Star and S. Bad are talking, I don't see Still Homsar. Is that worth noting? [[User:Spongeboy541|Spongeboy541]] 14:51, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:He's right in the bottom-right corner, just slightly peeking out. {{User:StrongAwesome74/sig}} 14:55, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes, hiding behind Pom. [[User:TheLupineOne|TheLupineOne]] 15:39, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:Ok, i saw him after watching it again. [[User:Spongeboy541|Spongeboy541]] 16:16, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

==Ganon==

S. Sad looks like Ganon. [[User:StarFox|StarFox]] 15:24, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:No, not really. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 15:31, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

::This is Ganon.

http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/zelda/de/images/5/53/Ganon_tp.jpg

::[[User:StarFox|StarFox]] 15:36, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:::Yes, thank you. He doesn't look like that, just a stylized elephant. Further, this is making fun of the early 90s and that's beast ganon, from twilight princess, which came out around 16 years too late for that. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 15:40, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::::I also think S. Sad resembles an ''A Link to the Past'' character, [http://zs.ffshrine.org/link-to-the-past/sprites.php sorta kinda], although not Ganon. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:37, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::May I ask which one? Closest I see is the Armos Knight. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:42, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::::::I was thinking more this guy: http://zs.ffshrine.org/album/link-to-the-past/sprites/Hylian2.gif But I admit the resemblance isn't as strong as it was in my memory before I looked it up. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:50, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

== 90s ==

How can it be "revamped for the 90s" when the animation used has only been popular since 2000? [[User:StarFox|StarFox]] 15:52, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
: I think you're taking it a mite seriously. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:42, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:: Considering TBC's obsession with 80s references, what can we say? '''''[[user:Kyojikasshu|kyojikasshu]]''''' 01:15, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
::: Exactly; 2000-2009=1980-1989, so 2010=1990. ...But I still can't find x. Where did I put it...? --[[User:Raddaluigi|Raddaluigi]] 22:06, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

== Two references ==

Two things this April Fool's Prank lampoons are the mid-2000s cartoon Loonatics Unleashed, which took beloved Looney Toons characters and "edged them up" in a similar fashion. However these kind of "hardcore" re-imaginings can lay the blame at mid-90s cartoons and comic books, which is why there's so many X's in the title. (X-men, X-Force, Weapon X, Megaman X, etc.) (New Guy)
: Exactly why I keep shooting down all the Loonatics references. While, yes, they did do this, they were neither the only nor the first, and given the nineties references and all the X's, it's not even the best fit. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:49, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::I did have a general explanation of the parody, but it was removed by IDC because it "explained the joke". {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 20:47, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:::"Revamped for the nineties! So much more exciting! New demographics when nobody asked for it!" What do we need to explain? It's all there in the lyrics. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 21:04, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::::I think you should at least make reference to it in the Fun Facts... at least? -[[User:Mitchell00|Mitchell00]] 01:41, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::I {{p|l={{fullurl:Xeriouxly Forxe|diff=prev&oldid=697888}} still don't think}} this needs explaining, although I admit it's a little better with the addition of the link to TV Tropes. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 12:27, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
::::::If there's somewhere else to hang the link, I wouldn't mind it being removed. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 12:32, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
::::::: I also think it's more of a direct reference to Loonatics myself. The finalized artwork for the series has the "pointy elbows" that the song references. It's also, I think, the only time a regular funnyman-type cartoon got such a drastic "superhero" revamp. (New Guy)

== Always goes to Main Page 21 ==

Every time I've watched this toon, it's gone to Main Page 21: Many Green Lines! Is this worth mentioning? Other toons have done this too, like the halloween toons that link to Main Page 7: Dead as a doornail! [[http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page_7]]
:It's already mentioned in the transript. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 04:03, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
::Is this Main Page of any signifigance to April Fools' Day? It seems odd that they'd do this without a reason.--[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] [[User talk:Jellote|wuz]] [[Special:Contributions/Jellote|here]] 20:10, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
:::It's because of the 90s... I guess.

== the homestarrunner.com homepage no longer shows this. ==

It changed back to normal around 4:30 PM AEDST.
:i've still got it -[[User:The Knights Who Say Ni|TKWSN]] 05:46, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
::It just went away a second ago for me. {{User:Shine Sprite/sig}} 05:49, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
:::okay, i just lost it. when i hit the refresh button. -[[User:The Knights Who Say Ni|TKWSN]] 05:51, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

== Watch link ==

The "watch" link above the screenshot currently goes to homestarrunner.com, but the toon has been moved to http://www.homestarrunner.com/aprilfool10.html [[Special:Contributions/66.51.249.18|66.51.249.18]] 17:01, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
:That's already been fixed. Just before you posted, actually. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 17:06, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

==666==

I can't see any relation between the framerate and the Number of the Beast. [[User:StarFox|StarFox]] 18:05, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
:Not framerate. Number of frames. The toon has exactly 666 frames in it, extended from 645 for apparently no reason. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 18:19, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
::My mistake. I'm just wondering why the number of frames has to do with Satan. [[User:StarFox|StarFox]] 03:26, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
:::The toon appears to have been intentionally lengthened to have that many frames. The viewer is redirected to main page 21 around frame 649, if I remember correctly. [[Special:Contributions/66.51.249.18|66.51.249.18]] 04:18, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
::::In the Book of Revelation in the Bible, the devil's number (or rather, the beast's number) is said to be 666. No one is sure what this means, though. {{User:Shine Sprite/sig}} 04:26, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::Hm. That number of frames (especially for no reason) is pretty edgy, don't you think? Come to think of it, it's literally unnecessarily edgy.

==Widescreen==

Is it worth mentioning that when the screen changes to the new 90s thing, it goes into widescreen? Answer in full and complete answernteces...-ers.
:Yes. In the transcript if not elsewhere. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:28, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

== Variations? ==

Should we have a page for the variations that appear in this toon, like for Halloween Toons or [[different town]]. Seeing how everyone has a variation, the page could work. --[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] [[User talk:Jellote|wuz]] [[Special:Contributions/Jellote|here]] 01:18, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
:[[Xeriouxly Forxe Character Variations|We have one]] in the process of being created. I don't know how anyone would be able to find it, however, seeing as there is no link to that article from [[Xeriouxly Forxe]]'s article. I had better find a good place to put a link. {{User:Shine Sprite/sig}} 01:25, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

== Loonatics Unleashed ==

This toon reminds me of the revamp Warner Bros tried to give to the Looney Toons with Loonatics Unleashed in 2005. The main characters were re-imagined in a futurist, anime style. The lines in the Xeriouxly song that remind me of the Loonatics are "Pointy elbows and lots of lightning!
Edgy and angry, so deadly and jangly!There's new demographics When nobody asked for it!"

(Sorry, didn't see this discussed above already)
:That was my first thought as well, but it's not the only example. The current compromise of linking to the TVTropes page works well. {{User:Wbwolf/sig}} 05:06, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

== Verb vs noun ==

Read these and tell me which is correct:
The visor robot malfunctions and explodes.
The visor robot malfunction and explodes.
The verb form has an s at the end. Think verb vs. noun, not singular vs. plural. You would be correct if, say, the visor robot had a malfunction, since in that case it's a noun, and an -s suffix would indicate plurality (though would also require additional grammatical alterations, since "a" indicates singularity.)

So you can stop reverting this one, DeFender1031.
:I reverted once, saw the message when i was unreverted, and haven't touched it since. I don't know why you feel the need to throw this in my face. I had no intention of touching it again. For the record, when I read it before reverting, the word "when" registered as "for" in my mind for some reason. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 22:44, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
::You reverted it twice, after I changed it the first time, then again when I undid it. No offense was intended and I apologize if any was taken, I just wanted to bring it up just in case. You can feel free to remove this entire section if you wish. -Payphone Ed [NSI]
:::Um, no. {{p|l=http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Xeriouxly_Forxe&action=history the history}} shows that {{p|l=http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Xeriouxly_Forxe&diff=698924&oldid=698854 you fixed it}} then {{p|l=http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Xeriouxly_Forxe&diff=698925&oldid=698924 I reverted it}} then {{p|l=http://hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Xeriouxly_Forxe&diff=698935&oldid=698925 StrongAwesome undid my revert}} explaining why it was right, and nothing since then. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 23:02, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
::::I'm guessing that what happened was that NSI misinterpreted an edit conflict or something. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:45, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

== Songs Category ? ==

I think that this should be under the "Songs" category.Anybody?
:It's a toon, not a song, no-name. --[[User:Essence of Ghost Water|Essence of Ghost Water]] 23:40, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
Well,is a Toon with a song during the whole thing,except for the dialogue in the end,so I'm still thinking that should be in songs category.--[[User:No hay nick libre|No hay nick libre]] 21:09, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
:Like he said, it's a toon, not a song. --[[Special:Contributions/209.148.176.136|209.148.176.136]] 20:32, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
::[[Rap Song|A]] [[Ballad of the Sneak|number]] [[Crystal Fortress|of]] [[Everybody to the Limit|toons]] [[The Cheat Theme Song|are]] [[Where U Goin' 2?|also]] [[Experimental Film|songs]]. When a song makes up the majority of the toon, it gets put in [[:Category:Songs]] irredisregardless. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 13:27, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
:::I think of those videos as "music videos", because that's what they are. Does Xeriously Forxe look like a music video? No. --[[Special:Contributions/209.148.176.136|209.148.176.136]] 13:37, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
::::What is a theme song but just another kind of music video? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 13:43, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
:::::As Dorian pointed out it is indeed a song and there is much precedence for tagging this video as such. (Note how the transcript even mentions '''"SINGERS"'''.) There is no reason to remove that tag from this article. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 14:15, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
::::::I agree we should put it under songs. its kinda like a music video. [[User:SteakStyles|SteakStyles]]

== 12 Main Characters ==

If i'm not wrong,this is the first time when all the 12 main characters get variations.Maybe it's worthy for the article--[[User:No hay nick libre|No hay nick libre]] 13:50, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
:Except that Homsar doesn't actually get a variation. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 13:54, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
I think that the joke is that Homsar does get a variation,only that looks just like the original one.Besides,it's listed in the Xeriouxly Forxe Characters Variations page--[[User:No hay nick libre|No hay nick libre]] 17:38, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
:Agreed. Still Homsar is a variation, in that the change is not changing. If he's listed [[Xeriouxly Forxe Character Variations|there]], he's got to be listed here as well.--[[User:Jellote|Jellote]] [[User talk:Jellote|wuz]] [[Special:Contributions/Jellote|here]] 19:37, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
::"Variation" requires that something varies, i.e., differs. No difference = no variation. There's no variation here. It's listed on the variations page because it's a notable exception. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:28, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
:::Still Homsar is Still just Homsar. It's just saying his name in a different way. --[[User:Still Homsar|Still Homsar]] 13:39, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
:How about this?
* If we can count Still Homsar as a variation,this is the first time all 12 main characters are variated--[[User:No hay nick libre|No hay nick libre]] 16:18, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
== Armless ch8t ==

Re: [http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Xeriouxly_Forxe&diff=702616&oldid=702615&rcid=663439 this removal and edit summary]: So, why is this irrelevant? The pattern is indeed of armless characters getting visible arms, and in one place, that pattern is reversed. That seems highly relevant and interesting to me. Someone care to explain the irrelevance? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:33, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
:Well, as I said in the summary, it ''doesn't'' fit the pattern. The Cheat is the only character that loses his arms (or seems to; I'm not completely convinced that he actually does). Why is this fact even notable when there is no reverse pattern? — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:51, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
::If there is a pattern of X to Y going on, then in one and only one case, there is a Y to X pattern, it's a notable difference from the general pattern. It's notable not as a member of a pattern, but as a contrast to a pattern. The one point I will grant you is that I've wondered if ch8t actually does have no visible arms; those, umm, points? make it possible he still has them. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:55, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
:::The original fact was added by me, including Ch8t's lack of limbs, so of course I'm perfectly fine with it being listed. I really have nothing more to add beyond what Heimi said, though. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 02:32, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
::::Heimstern: I see your point, and while in general I agree with it, I think I'd agree with it more in this case if we were sure he'd lost his arms. Since we're not sure, including the extra bit kinda muddies the waters of the fact (more than we already do with the "except for Homsar" bit). In addition, because Ch8t resembles the Cheatball, an armless form just seems "right" and isn't notable to me as part of the other pattern. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 04:02, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
:::::I can see your points, but they seem a bit subjective, particularly the Cheatball part. Could we get some other opinions here? I don't think a consensus is going to emerge with the existing parties. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 13:12, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
::::::I agree with both of you: I do see a Y to X pattern, but I'm not sure if ch8t even lost his arms. --[[Special:Contributions/209.148.176.136|209.148.176.136]] 13:34, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

== Possibly not just a refrence to all these cartoon revamps ==
It could also be a refrence to how Youtube is changing everything, and ruining it. This came out the same day as Youtube's permanent switch to the new layout, and a few months before there was a preview of the new layout.
:Except that this has nothing to do with layout, and everything to do with animation and plot style, and it makes explicit reference to the phenomenon of the 90s. In other words, no, it's not all that possible that it refers to youtube. {{User:DeFender1031/sig}} 14:48, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
::I don't see anything in the lyrics that points to YouTube specifically, although I get how it could apply to anything getting an "edgy" revamp. I don't see YouTube's changes as particularly edgy, though. --[[User:Garfunkel|Garfunkel]] 14:57, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

''{Cut to The King of Town, Coach Z and Bubs.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Oh jeez, I don't know, I think I prefer his work with the Furious 5 much more. Uh, he had more street cred back then...

''{Homestar walks by, and continues to do so throughout the scene.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, thanks for coming to my party, guys. Ahh, Coach Z is down with the PE! ''{Coach Z dances to Homestar's second remark.}''

''{Switch to Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...ya know, I think it turned out pretty good. I mean Mom helped me do the fruit ''{gestures to hat}'', and I did the sewing—

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, lookin' good, Strong Bad. The Chiquita Banana lady, that's great!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh, Chiquita Ba—?! ''{shouting}'' For the last time, I'm Carmen freakin' Miranda!

''{Switch to Marzipan, Strong Sad, Pom Pom and The Poopsmith, who is bobbing for pumpkins. He picks up a pumpkin and spits it into the bucket twice.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yesterday, I was out in the garden, and I was weeding, and there was this little worm...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aww, everybody looks so great! ''{stops walking}'' You know, there's more punch over there, if anybody... wants any. All riiiiiight, everybody! Line up! ''{holds up flashlight}'' We're gonna play ''{clicks flashlight on and off}'' Flashlight Ghost-Story-Telling with a Flashliiight! ''{thunder booms}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' We should stand boy-girl-boy-girl. ''{thunder booms, organ sting}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Good one, Marzipan! That way we know it's fair!

'''MARZIPAN:''' I get to stand next to you, Homestar.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Nope. I'm standin' next to Bubs. You get to stand next to Strong Baaad. ''{walks away}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{gasps}'' Uh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Psst! ''{whispering}'' Hey, Marzipan... is my slip showing?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay, okay, okay! I'll go first.

''{A circle forms around him so his picture is now an inset of a new scene.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Umm... okay! Once, there was this green gobliiiin... ''{a goblin appears}'' and um, he used to... look aroooound... ''{the goblin looks around}'' And um, I guess he did a daaance. ''{the goblin dances}'' Oh man, that was terrible.

''{Homestar passes the flashlight to Bubs.}''

'''BUBS:''' And, the goblin, he had a Gremlin! ''{A car appears next to the goblin. As Bubs talks, the car's tires grow and numerous accessories are added to it.}'' And he jacked it up on some fat tires, and uh, and he tuned it up on some 4.11 positrak out back, 750 double pumper, Edelbrock intake, bore over 30, 11-to-1 pop-up pistons turbo jets 390 horsepower! I mean, he had some freakin' muscle!

''{Bubs passes the flashlight to Pom Pom.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{Pom Pom makes bubbling noises throughout his segment.}''

''{A giggling blonde girl in a pink bikini with a Pom head appears next to the Gremlin, as well as a redhead with a blue bikini and a brunette in a leopard-pattern bikini, followed by beer and sports paraphernalia. Pom Pom passes the flashlight to Marzipan.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' One of the girls had a cute little kitten named Kitty-kitty.

''{A cat appears beside the girl on the left.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' The other girl had a cute little puppy named Chris.

''{A dog appears beside the girl on the right.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' And then the third girl was a Republican.

''{A Republican Party Elephant sign appears in the hand of the girl on the Gremlin.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, brother! Gimme that! ''{snatches the flashlight from Marzipan}'' So then the robot came—

''{The Visor Robot appears onscreen, to the right.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —and he started vaporizing everybody with his vapor-gun! ''{the Visor Robot begins doing just that}'' And he was like "You take this, and you'd better, you, and you take this, everybody's gonna die!" And then he said, "Oh, the Gremlin! I hate the Goblin Gremlin! Bah!"

''{The Visor Robot kicks the Gremlin over the trees.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I need to get some more punch.

''{Strong Bad passes the flashlight to the King of Town and walks off}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Oooh, oooh!

''{The Visor Robot and Goblin stand across from each other and all the food appears that the King mentions in between them.}''

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' And there was fried fish and heavenly ham and Salisbury sundaes and globs of meringue and strawberry frosted donuts and bowls full of jelly and Klondike pudding and scrumptious fillers... and—DOO! DOO-HOO-HOO-HOO-HOO!

''{All the food inexplicably disappears. The King passes the flashlight to Strong Sad and hurries off.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And so it turns out the robot had a human brain which was stolen from a kindly old man. And the children of that old man came to the robot looking for their father, and they called out to him.

''{Speech bubble with an exclamation point in it appears on the girl.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' And the robot's human brain remembered his children and his stolen life, and he was moved to tears. ''{robot starts to cry.}'' But the tears shorted out his circuits, and fried his brain. ''{Electric bolts appear on the Visor Robot's head}'' And the robot toppled over, and he crushed his children, and the Goblin, too. ''{Visor Robot falls on them and his brain comes out.}'' And none of them lived.

''{Cut to Bubs, Coach Z, and The King of Town crying.}''

'''COACH Z:''' ''{crying}'' Oh, jeez, what a total downer! ''{they walk away, still crying}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh man, I'm outta here!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{crying}'' That's the saddest story I've ever heard! You can't come to next year's party.

''{Marzipan walks away crying, while The Poopsmith sighs deeply and also walks away.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{sadly}'' Gee... thanks for coming to my party, Strong Sad. ''{sighs, walks away.}''

''{Everyone except Strong Sad leaves, and crickets start chirping. An owl hoots and a far-off wolf howls. Strong Sad clicks the flashlight on and off a few times, then the screen fades.}''

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*With nine [[death]]s, this cartoon has a higher body count than any other cartoon on the website, including [[Teen Girl Squad]].
*This is the only time Coach Z is seen with a full complement of fingers.
*Strong Mad, The Cheat, The Poopsmith, and Coach Z never contributed to the ghost story, but the Poopsmith probably doesn't contribute to the story on purpose, courtesy of his vow of silence.
*This toon was "Written, drawn, and directed by Matt, Mike, and Craig". This is most likely [[Craig Zobel]].
*According to [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]], the spooky trees in the background are just next to [[Bubs' Concession Stand]].
*Coach Z's clock reads 3:57.
*This toon marks the first appearances of The Goblin, who has become something of a Halloween toon staple, as well as the [[Gremlin]], [[Pom Pom's Girls]], the Visor Robot, and the Sad Kids, which have all later reappeared in several toons.
*Marzipan has one of Pom Pom's girls hold up a Republican sign with an [[elephant]] on it.
*This marks the only major Halloween toon which [[Homsar]] doesn't appear in, due to the fact that he had not yet been created.

===Goofs===
*The birthmark on Strong Sad as [[Wikipedia:Mikhail Gorbachev|Gorbachev]] is on the wrong side of his head.
*When Homestar turns the flashlight on and off for Flashlight Ghost Storytelling with a Flashlight, his face isn't illuminated any better, so much as the rest of his body is cast into shadow.
*When Strong Sad turns the flash light on & off at the end, his hands do not move.
*Although the flash light has a sliding switch, it makes a sound like that of an on/off button.
*When Marzipan is weeping as she leaves, her mouth doesn't move. Also, Homestar's mouth doesn't move when he sighs.
*The Goblin's pupils shrink when he turns his head to look at the second girl.
*After the robot kicks the Gremlin, the front loses the double bumper.
*In the beginning, Strong Bad's right sleeve is off center, and hangs down below his shoulder.
*When the King of Town's imagined desserts fade away, one of the desserts changes color before fading. This is because the dessert is a tinted version of an existing dessert, and in Flash a symbol can not have its opacity and tint be modified at the same time, so it reverts to its original color.
*When Strong Bad leaves the party, his mouth disappears for a split second.

===Glitches===
*Once the [[opening credits]] end, there is a slight jump in the music.

===Inside References===
*[[The King of Town]] mentions "Strawberry frosted [[donuts]]."
*[[Strong Bad]] dressing up as Carmen Miranda is an example of [[cross-dressing]].

===Real-World References===
*Coach Z's opening line references the [[Wikipedia: Furious Five|Furious Five]], a pioneering rap group in the early '80s. The specific artist Coach Z refers to could either be [[Wikipedia:Grandmaster Flash|Grandmaster Flash]], the original leader of the Furious Five, or [[Wikipedia:Grandmaster Melle Mel|Grandmaster Melle Mel]], who led the group after Flash's departure.
*Bubs's description of the Gremlin is [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106677/quotes quoted] almost directly from the movie ''[[IMDB:tt0106677|Dazed And Confused]]''.
*The [[Wikipedia:flux capacitor|flux capacitor]] visible on the Gremlin is a reference to the ''[[Back to the Future]]'' movies.
*Strong Sad turning the flashlight on and off is possibly an homage to the movie ''[[imdb:tt0111149|Shallow Grave]]'', in which Christopher Eccleston's character turns a flashlight on and off into his face while spiralling into insanity.
*Homestar's shirt says "corporate rock still sucks", which is the motto of [[Wikipedia:SST Records|SST Records]], a favorite record label of Cobain's. Cobain once wore a shirt parodying the slogan on a famous [[Wikipedia:Rolling Stone|Rolling Stone]] cover saying "Corporate Magazines still suck". Also, his shoes look a lot like [[Chuck Taylor All-Stars]], which the video for [[Wikipedia:Smells Like Teen Spirit|Smells Like Teen Spirit]] helped to repopularize.
**It's also possibly a nod to certain ''[http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/TSHIRTS/NV204.jpg Nirvana shirts]''.
*Homestar's line "Coach Z is down with the PE" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Public Enemy|Public Enemy]] song "Burn Hollywood Burn", wherein guest-rapper [[Wikipedia:Ice Cube|Ice Cube]] raps "Ice Cube is down with the PE".
**This could be a play on words; PE could also stand for physical education, as Coach Z is allegedly a coach.
*The bear The Cheat has is Pooky, Garfield's teddy bear.
*[[Wikipedia: Edelbrock|Edelbrock]] is a seller of performace parts for [[Wikipedia: automobile|automobiles]].

===Fast Forward===
*Marzipan's line, "You can't come to next year's party," was revisited in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]], when Marzipan said, "I like your costume, Strong Sad, but you weren't invited this year." Then, in [[Doomy Tales of the Macabre]], he gets "literary justice" when he's invited to no one's party.
*The music that was used for the Flashlight Ghost Storytelling Using a Flashlight was used again in The House That Gave Sucky Treats and the Strong Bad e-mail [[theme park]] during "The Strong Sad Gets Decked Repeatedly Stunt Spooktacular".
*A slight variation of Homestar's "Corporate Rock Still Sucks" (the motto of SST Records) shirt was worn by Strong Sad in [[geddup noise]], which said "Corporate The Geddup Noise Still Sucks".
*The Poopsmith later puts a pumpkin in his mouth in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].

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

'''MATT:''' Oh, Mike, listen to how you can hear your fingers hitting the keys—

'''MIKE:''' Really?

'''MATT:''' —on the little— yeah. ''{pause}'' They're kinda little ''puh puh puh'' clicky—

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

'''MATT:''' —holding a mic up to the Casio SK-1 keyboard.

'''MIKE:''' Does that not have a line out?

'''MATT:''' Uh, it didn— it sounded crappy, I think.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' It just had to go from like an 8-inch to an adaptor, et cetera et cetera.

'''MIKE:''' So here's our first Halloween cartoon.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it was a really nice ''credit'' sequence... ''Mike''.

'''MIKE:''' ...Not sure why Matt is taking this tone with me, everyone!

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' "Every single ''{clears his throat conspicuously}'' wanna see me."

'''MIKE:''' Ohh, interesting.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, The Cheat's costume, while he looks pretty good, wasn't very involved. It's just a pair of glasses... Garfield-looking glasses.

'''MATT:''' He has a very authentic Pooky, though... ''{Mike chuckles}'' for sure.

'''MIKE:''' I think the Mikhail Gorbachev still may be my favorite costume.

'''MATT:''' It's a good one.

'''MIKE:''' Although ''his'' glasses don't have any, uh...

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' They're just taped to his face.

'''MIKE:''' And I think the Marzipan genie costume might be the least thought-out—

'''MATT:''' Yeah. We just—

'''MIKE:''' It was the first one, but, everyone else's costumes are pretty good.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Cap'n Crunch, that's a good... Ooh, Marzipan's old mouth.

'''MATT:''' ''{softly}'' Ooh, the— Oh... I don't think Kurt Cobain had that stringy of— his hair was that stringy.

'''MIKE:''' I don't— Our friend Craig made that hair.

'''MATT:''' Did he really? I didn't remember that. I know that Craig made the ladies, the hot ladies that show up in Pom Pom's story later on.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, he made, he made—

'''MATT:''' Did he make that headdress on, uh, the fruit basket headdress?

'''MIKE:''' No... I made that.

'''MATT:''' Oh. It looks good. Oh yeah, you drew that and scanned it in, didn't you?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I think we still have the drawing of that in the old sketchbook.

'''MIKE:''' So Matt one time when he was... what do you think, you were three maybe?

'''MATT:''' Uh, nnnnyeah, may— four.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Four, probably four. It was right when we moved to Atlanta.

'''MIKE:''' There was his Halloween costume, it was this big inflatable head that you sort of have attached with this headgear of this Martian. Yeah, goblin?

'''MATT:''' He was a goblin, not a Martian, he was a gween gobolin.

'''MIKE:''' Our dad was interviewing him on Super 8, and said, "What do you dress up?" ''{imitating Matt's young, high-pitched voice}'' "''A gween gobolin!''"

'''MATT:''' It was true, man.

'''MIKE:''' Look, Bubs has no arms, Matt!!

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

'''MIKE:''' He has no arms!!

'''MATT:''' Good job, us!

'''MIKE:''' Who were we fooling?!

'''MATT:''' No one! ''{pause}'' These ladies are a little risqué for the website, honestly.

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

'''MATT:''' Craig made them way too hot.

'''MIKE:''' Especially the way that one's kinda twisting her ankle like that.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, she's—

'''MIKE:''' Look, she's funneling beers too!

'''MATT:''' They're party girls. Pom Pom's into the party girls. ''{pause}'' I remember Melissa made all these things up and I was amazed by her improvisational talents.

'''MIKE:''' ''{chuckles}''

'''MATT:''' I don't think I— I don't think I still— I didn't really like Melissa at that time, and I was really impressed. Naw, I was kidding. I liked Melissa plenty. ''{pause}'' He hates the Goblin Gremlin, Mike. ''{pause}'' Heh, the weird King of Town voice.

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

'''MATT:''' —found it stride. There was really, what, like four or five different— oh, okay there was an impressive amount of different drawings, there. In my head that was a way bigger pile—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' —than what I remember.

'''MIKE:''' I don't know why—

'''MATT:''' ''{pause}'' There's a lot of things that were invented from this cartoon: the goblin, the sad kids, that robot— the Visor Robot appeared.

'''MIKE:''' The Visor Robot.

'''MATT:''' Why is it called the Visor Robot?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno, I think the wiki— I didn— ''We'' didn't name it the Visor Robot, did we?

'''MATT:''' No.

'''MIKE:''' But I ''call'' it the Visor Robot, ''{in a funny voice}'' don't I, Matt?

'''MATT:''' ''{in a funny voice similar to Coach Z's}'' Yeah, you do; you gotta listen to that wiki, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' I like, watch the brain slide here.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I did this part. ''{pause}'' Those squashed kids look pretty terrible. ''{both laugh}'' Not even sure how that works.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, Bubs has arms again!

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Good, see— he only has pointy fingers.

'''MIKE:''' Oh yeah, he's got ''fingers''. Yeah, Coach Z— 'Cause he says, uh, "the Furious 5", right?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I think so. Well, he was just pointing too, when he's rapping, when he says, "Coach Z is down with the PE." But, now he just has mittens. ''{Mike laughs}'' He has never shown his fingers again. Maybe those are—

'''MIKE:''' He's never shown his true fingers before.

'''MATT:''' Maybe he's just wearing those on top of his mittens as part of his costume. We're really consistent, everybody! We think this stuff through ahead of time; we have a ten-year plan for the website...!

'''MIKE:''' ''{wolf howls in the cartoon}'' Hey, that's Matt.

'''MATT:''' That's me.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I do an owl, too. On the website, sound effects master, mang! Manganese.

On the other hand, I always interpreted the spelling Serggeant Marshie as sort of a stutter, and not a reference to appearances of G's.

I mean, normally I would say that having a page dedicated to how many times pizza is used in the cartoons is pointless, but this is seriously the biggest waste of bandwidth I've seen in a long time.

[[Image:homsar G.PNG|thumb|"That's a healthy piece of real estate."]]
[[The Brothers Chaps]] tend to toss the letter '''G''' around in places one would not normally expect to see it. It seems as if when The Brothers Chaps need to pick a letter, G is usually their choice.

==Notable Appearances==
*Email [[suntan]] — [[Strong Sad]]'s plush lobster [[Gooblies]] has a tag labeled "G".
*[[TROGDOR!]] — The "G" in the title must be clicked to access the hint screen.
*[[Cheat Commandos...O's]] — [[Ser-g-geant Marshie]] reports for duty.
*Email [[for kids]] — [[Homsar]]'s letter of the day was "G".
*[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 7]] — [[What's Her Face]] claimed that she could count to "G".
*Email [[pizzaz]] — [[Strong Bad]] said the secret to his pizzaz is the three G's: gumption, gum, and minty gargle.
*[[Happy Fireworks]] — [[The Cheat]]'s firework display was "Plan G".
*[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 11]] — [[Cheerleader]] reads a script for the toon she is in, and asks, "Does "ugs" have one "g" or two?"
*Email [[the paper]] — in an Easter egg, a "G" replaces the "?" used as the Home team's score on the [[Scoreboard]] when Strong Bad interrupts the scene.
*Email [[hygiene]] — Strong Bad's fictional alias "Gene" receives a grade of G- on a school assignment.
*Email [[licensed]] — One of the names of the "country of manufacture" is Double G.
*[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 14]] — One of [[Minor Teen Girl Squad Characters#The Seniors|The Seniors]] has a "G" on his cap.
*[[Homestar Ruiner]] — Homestar wonders whether despair is spelled with one "G" or two.
*[[Baddest of the Bands]] — Bubs "carries a G" while doing math to figure out how much Strong Bad still owes him.
*[[4 Gregs]] — The home team is the "[[Fighting Growlbacks|g-backs]]". The Mascot that [[D n' D Greg]] is kicking has the letter "G" on it.

==Mispronunciation of G==
[[Image:yourjamesover.png|thumb|This James sucks.]]
The letter [[Wikipedia:Hard_and_soft_G|G]] can be pronounced two different ways in English: a hard G ([[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:IPA for English|IPA]]: /g/), as in "good" or a soft G (/dʒ/), similar to J, as in "gin". However, in the Homestar Runner universe, characters will pronounce words with a soft G that normally have the hard G.

===G as J===
*Email [[website]] — [[Strong Bad]] is unsure whether to pronounce "gif" with a hard or soft G.
*[[A Decemberween Pageant]] — [[Dr. Christmas]] pronounces "[[gold]]" as "jold".
*[[Homsar Main Page]] — Homsar reads "Games" as "james".
*Email [[the show]] — [[Marshie]] says "hey guys" as "hey juys".
*Email [[isp]] — Strong Bad is once again confused about the pronunciation of "gif".
*Email [[redesign]] — Sundae Drivin' displays "Your James Over" when Strong Bad loses.
*[[Main Page 25]] — Marshie mispronounces both "guys" and "games" as "juys" and "james".

===G as Gr===
*[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 4]]— [[Cheerleader]] says "Grood", which she corrects by claiming it is a [[portmanteau]] of "good and great; great and good".
*[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 14]]— Upon being exempt from sit-ups, Cheerleader exclaims "Thank Groodness!"
*[[Teen Girl Squad Issue 15]]— Cheerleader pronounces it this way three times:
** "Oh my grosh, gals!"
** "Again I ask, gresh who got a date for the prom".
** "I just grot asked to the prom by [[Cheerleader Brian]]!"

Sure I've tweaked it up, but it probably won't count due to it being the Rad Racer theme, which is from a NES game and ScrewAttack specializes in video games. Am I right? --[[User:Addict 2006|Addict]] [[User talk:Addict 2006|2006]] 13:58, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

:Absolutely. I love the ScrewAttack guys and all, but I too say that this isn't a direct Homestar reference. [[User:Rexy|Rexy-mberween]] ([[User_talk:Rexy|save the rabbits!]]) 14:48, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

==Wolksvagon==

On [http://www.agame.com this website], there's a game called Destroy All Cars. In it, there is a vehicle called [[different town|Wolksvagon]]. Does this qualify as a sighting? {{User:Star Guy/sig}} 23:06, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

I think we should do pages for all the R.C.W.H.R. episodes. [[User:Harvax]]

== Episde of Weebl and Bob called "E-mail" ==

I only skimmed the topic bar, so forgive me if this is there. There's a Weebl and Bob episode called "E-mail", and when Weebl brings up the subject matter, Bob relies "Like that Strong Bad chap?". Weebl denies his existance, then checks emails in a very Strong Bad-esque way. [[User:Strong Intelligent|SI.com!]]

Would it be okay to add my remake of Parsnips-a-Plenty to the youtube section? [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDHMJ20J5OI link]] [[User:Guybrush20X6]]
:Is it notable in the Spore community? Is it a notable YouTube video? If so, then yes. And besides, This is more of a fan work. not a reference in an unrelated work. {{User:Elcool/sig}} 13:05, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
Well, it got over 180 veiws and a 4.5 star rating but I'm guessing that doesn't count as notable. Shame. [[User:Guybrush20X6]]

On encyclopedia when you get banned and try to edit, it say's you've been Burninated. I'm not sure if it still does this, becuase last time I was banned was in 2007. [[Special:Contributions/75.83.111.225|75.83.111.225]]

== TSLS Quest ==

[[File:tslsquest.PNG|thumb|170px|"Buy Kerrek a Cold One".]]
I was watching The Super Luigi Show on YouTube and found out that on the latest episode contained Luigi playing [[Peasant's Quest]]. View it [http://www.youtube.com/LuigiMario2009 here] (note: the episode is the featured video).
I thought since we have a section for TSLS on YouTube, this might be worth mentioning, anyone agree/disagree?
{{User:A Website/sig}} 19:23, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
:That YouTube channel is not popular enough to warrant a mention. Most of the videos there don't have more then a 100 views. Something on the internet needs to be really popular before it can pass as a sighting, because in today's days everyone can upload themselves doing anything they want. {{User:Elcool/sig}} 07:37, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
::So how many views would a video need to be mentioned? [[Special:Contributions/74.15.138.249|74.15.138.249]] 20:04, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
:::I can't pin the exact number, but somewhere in the tens- or hundred-thousands of views. {{User:Elcool/sig}} 21:48, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

== Recent YouTube problem ==

The [[Website_Sightings#YouTube|youTube]] section is very long, and from time to time someone comes along and drop a link to their video there. If you looked at the sections above on this talk page, I addressed this issue with other users personally. I think there should be some kind of standard for user-created content and notability. Not every home-made videro of some guy quoting Homestar while playing his Wii that have about 200 views should be listed here. I'm not looking for some set-in-stone number of views to be out standard, but some way to decide what goes on this page. I'm also interested to hear if there is anyone who thinks differently - That we ''should'' put that video on the guy with his Wii. Opinions? {{User:Elcool/sig}} 05:50, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

:I've been thinking, maybe we should have Youtube sightings one it's own page. Or at least on for yotube based series. That way we could monitor it better. [[User:Guybrush20X6|Guybrush20X6]] 19:22, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

::I Don't think that lowering our standards is a good solution. A YouTube Sightings page could be the start of a slippery slope to other pages. It's not that more pages is a bad thing, but no one is going to read them, ''or'' check out all the links. These are just videos of guys saying "Seriously" all the time and acting like morons. All The time. I also see this problem being addressed in [[Talk:Animation Sightings#Youtube Criteria]].
::I'm going to go ahead here and just suggest what notability criteria comes to my mind:
::*The video must have more then 50,000 views.
::*The video must have more then 10,000 views.
::*The video mustn't be some kind of plotless vlog.
::*The video should be produced at least somewhat professionally (A suggestion of a script, editing, an actual camera, etc.)
::*The sighting should be a major part of the video. Not some throwaway [['d]] gag.
::*No YouTubePoop crap. Just... No.
::*The uploader should be at least notable in YouTube. (For example: Two Guys have a 5-million-views clip on their Swearing At Sea video, but reference Strong Bad in their 3000-views How We Made Swearing At Sea)
::These are what just popped in my mind to get this discussion rolling. Let's see your response. {{User:Elcool/sig}} 05:12, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

== Explanation for creating the article ==
One of my favorite things to do on Homestar Runner is to look at the Easter eggs. There are lots of Easter eggs, and they come in several flavors- clickable, keypress, "hidden in the Flash," and secret page Easter eggs. The clickable Easter eggs are the most common, and the easiest to find-- pressing tab reveals them. I don't see a need to make a list of these; it would be a very long and useless article. However, the keypress Easter eggs are much less common and a lot more difficult to discover. That is, I would have never found any of the keypress Easter eggs without the help of the wiki. That's why I think a list of them makes a very useful and interesting page. This is in the spirit of the article [[secret pages]]. I'm about to create an article called Decompiled Flash Easter Eggs with all the same intentions. Leave your thoughts, vote it up, vote it down, or contribute to the list! --{{User:Garfunkel/sig}}
:Okay- I'll wait until a consensus a reached on the fate of this page before creating a similar one for "hidden in the flash" Easter eggs. One thing is, I've had all this information on my talk page since 2006; there are probably more keypress Easter eggs to document, and that would substantiate this list enough to keep it separate from the Easter eggs article. I'll look. --{{User:Garfunkel/sig}} 22:18, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
::I thought you were going to wait before making [[Decompiled Flash Easter Eggs]]. The consensus so far is not to have separate pages.

:::I guess I just went for it, so that people could actually see what I was shooting for. I feel that, if not make it "too long," it would clutter the Easter eggs page. If I'm the only one that thinks that, that's cool. --[[User:Garfunkel|Garfunkel]] 19:28, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

:::::Okay. There's nothing wrong with starting a new article, either. If the community doesn't like it, it should be removed.

An '''Easter egg''' of a [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] cartoon is a feature that is hidden in some way. Often, it is only accessible by clicking on a hidden button, a keypress or by waiting a while after the toon is seemingly over.

Most of the recent Homestar Runner Flash animations feature Easter eggs. These are most prominent in [[Strong Bad Email]]s, but are also placed in other cartoons on the site. Most are activated by clicking a specific area of the animation.

Occasionally, Easter eggs are hidden in a way that cannot be revealed directly, and can only be seen if the Flash file is opened in a [[Wikipedia:decompiler|decompiler]]. At [[Georgia Tech - 26 Apr 2007|Georgia Tech]], [[Matt Chapman]] explained that these were added because the normal Easter eggs were getting too easy to find.

== Finding Easter eggs ==

:''Main article: List of known [[decompiled Flash Easter eggs]]''
:''Main article: List of of known [[keypress Easter eggs]]''

The majority of Easter eggs are activated by clicking a certain area of the cartoon. The easiest way to find these is by following a few simple steps:
*Click on the Flash animation so keypresses are accepted.
*Press the "Tab" key on your keyboard to cycle through all click zones.
*When a border surrounds a part of the animation, it is probably a hot spot for a Easter egg. Either press the "Enter" (or "Return") key or click on the spot to activate the Easter egg.

In addition to clickable Eater eggs, there are a small number of Easter eggs found by [[Keypress Easter Eggs|pressing a key]] or digging through a [[Decompiled Flash Easter Eggs|decompiled Flash file]].

Note that some Easter eggs do not do anything immediately. For example, in almost all the [[Holidays#Halloween (October 31st)|Halloween cartoons]], [[Homsar]] appears in a later scene if an Easter egg is clicked (usually near [[The Poopsmith]]).

Talk:Decompiled Flash Easter Eggs

Garfunkel — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 17:35:40 GMT

Garfunkel: Cool page

= An interesting and informative read (?) =
If nobody likes the idea, that's fine. I didn't think it would hurt to just try out the concept, and I think it makes a fun and interesting article that rounds up a bunch of information that would hard to track down without this page. These Easter eggs are special, and I think it would be helpful (and cool) to catalogue them for those that really dig secret stuff (most of us). I also think there is too much information here to merge it with [[Easter eggs]], although not TOO much information where making a page of it becomes ridiculous (e.g. a page of all the Fun Facts for every toon. This is different.) --[[User:Garfunkel|Garfunkel]] 17:35, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Decompiled Flash Easter Eggs

Garfunkel — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 17:35:22 GMT

Garfunkel: Created - List of "decompiled Flash Easter eggs"

There are many [[Easter eggs]] hidden in Homestar Runner cartoons. When the Brothers Chaps realized that their Easter eggs were being found by fans too easily, they began to slip in a small number of Easter eggs that could only be found if the Flash file of the toon was decompiled, making them much more difficult to discover.

This is a list of Easter eggs hidden '''in toon Flash files.'''

Keypress Easter Eggs

Garfunkel — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 21:58:14 GMT

Garfunkel: Created - List of Keypress Easter Eggs

There are countless [[Easter egg|Easter eggs]] hidden throughout Homestar Runner body of work, with the vast majority being clickable Easter eggs. In addition to these, there are a small number of Easter eggs that are activated by pressing a key.

This is a list of '''keypress Easter eggs.'''

== Keypress Easter Eggs in Toons ==

=== [[Fluffy Puff Commercial]] ===
[[Image:fluffypuff_head.png|thumb|Homestar likes Marshmallows... in Abe Lincoln's Head]]
*If you press '''L''' the screen becomes Abraham Lincoln's profile silhouette.
**This will only work for a lowercase '''l'''. Having Caps Lock on, or holding down Shift, Ctrl or Alt will cancel the effect.

=== [[Meet Marshie]] ===

*At the end of the toon, press '''r''' on the keyboard and Homestar Runner will say something.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I hate that freakin' robot.

*Press '''f''' after the previous easter egg to hear a disclaimer from Fluffy Puff Marshmallows.
:''{We see the yellow screen from earlier, with the Fluffy Puff Marshmallows logo, a bag of marshmallows, and a jar of mayo.}''
:'''VOICEOVER:''' Fluffy Puff Marshmallows and Marshmallow Mayonnaise. Each sold separately. Comes with everything you see here. Batteries not included. Kids, don't eat nails. ''{pause}'' Is that it? Am I done? Can I go? Anybod—Anybody want to get something to eat?

*'''Note:''' These Easter eggs only work in lowercase.

=== [[mile]] ===
*Press 'O' on your keyboard at the end to see a silhouette of Strong Bad doing cartwheels over a bunch of hills with a song playing in the background, which is a takeoff of [[Old Intro 2]].

=== [[personal favorites]] ===
*Also at the end you can hit the "q" key to hear Strong Bad's email intro tune again.

== Keypress Easter Eggs in Games ==

=== [[50K Racewalker]] ===
*There is a "big head mode", similar to that found in many video games, especially first-person shooters and sports games. To toggle between "big head" and normal press the '''h''' key on the "Choose it out" screen.
*There is a "fat walker" mode. To toggle between a fat walker and a normal one press the '''f''' key on the "Choose it out" screen.
**These tricks are case-sensitive and must be typed in lowercase.
*The arms on the walker can be moved up and down by pressing the arrow keys on the "Choose it out" screen.

=== [[TROGDOR%21]] ===
*On the hints screen (found by clicking and holding the "G" on the TROGDOR title screen), you can use the [[Wikipedia:Konami Code|Konami Code]] (up up down down left right left right B A, and then click the word "START"). This will start you off with 30 lives.
*During the game you can hit the "k" key to kick the game. This doesn't seem to give you any advantage, but it does cause the machine to repeat the word "TROGDOR!" (A reference to [[Arcade Game]].)

Stinkoman and 1-Up's Relationship

Garfunkel — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 00:36:00 GMT

Garfunkel: Consolidated subtopics, expanded introduction

{{tbd}}
[[Image:Stinkoman doing something.png|thumb|"Go away! I'm doing something!"]]
[[Stinkoman]] and [[1-Up]] are the 20X6 equivalents of [[Strong Bad]] and [[Homestar Runner]], respectively. The relationship of Stinkoman and 1-Up mirrors the [[Homestar Runner and Strong Bad's Relationship|relationship of Strong Bad and Homestar Runner]]: 1-Up idolizes Stinkoman and wants his attention, while Stinkoman finds 1-Up to be annoying most of the time, although occasionally he shows a soft spot for 1-Up and the two have moments of camaraderie.

==Stinkoman as rival==
*Email [[japanese cartoon]] — Stinkoman laughs when 1-Up is crushed by [[Pan Pan]]. Also, Stinkoman says that 1-Up can't be "the guy" because he's "just a kid."
*[[Under Construction]] — Stinkoman calls 1-up and Pan Pan "ladies" because they missed his fight with [[Sticklyman]].
*[[Stinkoman 20X6]] — At the start of Level 2, Stinkoman ignores 1-Up, who is concerned for the kidnapped [[Pan Pan]]. In Level 5's opening cutscene he refuses to help 1-Up any more, leaving 1-Up to play the level on his own.
*[[Twenty THANXty six]] — Stinkoman mockingly calls 1-up a "talking-to-me-extraordinaire" after 1-up points out that "giving thanks" doesn't involve farm equipment. Also, when Stinkoman is building a tractor, he tells 1-Up to go away.

==Stinkoman as ally and friend==
*[[Stinkoman 20X6]] — 1-Up either lives with or is visiting Stinkoman. In level 4, [[Stinkoman]] protects [[1-Up]] with his giant fist power-up, gained from defeating Stlunko. However, this move has selfish motivations as well, as Stinkoman is protecting his [[power crunch]] from being damaged in the Lava Zone. Stinkoman also sets out to rescue 1-up and [[Pan-Pan]] from the [[Shadowy Figure]].
*[[Stinkomanual]] — Stinkoman and 1-Up are referred to as "pals."
*[[Twenty THANXty Six]] — Stinkoman allows 1-Up to teach him how to give thanks, and the two appear to be working together to face the Challenge of the Crystal Shards.

''{During the song, "200" appears in the fonts of the Tandy, Compy, and Lappy sequentially, followed by "strongbad_email.exe" typed out.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{overlapped by Homestar}'' Okay, calm down, I didn't mean to--

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Long pants, Strong Bad! The longest pants! Everybody everybody! Longest pants!

''{Homestar teleports around the room to a different place after each word he says.

''{Cut back to show the two characters. Strong Bad is sitting on the edge of the table}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hr-what mail?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hremail. You've got sbemails, I've got hremails.

''{As he says "sbemails" and "hremails", they appear over his head as text, as if someone typed them}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Do you even have an email address?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Of course I do. Everybody knows it's ''{close shot of the Happy 8600 as Homestar types his email address}'' DJmankiewicz@homestarrunner.com.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The term "Stealing One's Thunder" (from which the title is derived) is used in situations wherein one person is associated with hoopla stemming from the efforts of another person. In this case, sbemail #200 was intended to be for Strong Bad, but the email itself was addressed to Homestar Runner, who would therefore be recognized as the recipient of the 200th email.
*When Strong Bad sends his email, he mentions several technical terms:
**[[Wikipedia:Domain Name Server#DNS_resolvers|DNS Resolving]] is a process done by a DNS (Domain Name System) server in which it identifies the IP address of a [[Wikipedia:Domain name|domain name]].
**[[Wikipedia:Simple Mail Transfer Protocol|SMTP]], or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, is a standard for servers sending email.
*[[Wikipedia:Universal Serial Bus|USB]] and [[Wikipedia:IEEE 1394 interface|FireWire]] are modern types of serial connections. Older serial connectors were defined by the number of connectors or "pins" they have. Therefore, a 4-pin or an 8-pin would have 4 or 8 pins, respectively, though no such standard connections existed. Serial ports were traditionally 9-pin and 25-pin.

===Trivia===
*The label on the [[Floppy Disk Container]] reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#duck pond|duck pond]]".
*[[John Linnell]] as the voice of the Poopsmith marks the only main character who is not voiced by [[the Brothers Chaps]] or [[Missy]].
*This is the only time we unambiguously hear the Poopsmith talk. 
*The Cheat is playing a [[Left Handedness|left-handed]] flute at the beginning.
*When this toon was first released, the thunder sound effects and the flashing were not there when Strong Bad said "email thunder". These were added later.

===Remarks===
*In the flashbacks to [[caper]] and [[long pants]], [[Strong Bad]]'s design is the newest one, rather than [[Strong Bad Evolution|the ones that were used at the time.]]
*When The Paper comes down, it is clickable and will let you email Strong Bad until he accidentally burns it up.
*Strong Bad pulls the giant bottle of Mountain Dew from [[Hammerspace]].
*Strong Bad has no idea Homestar has an Email address, yet he knew exactly what it was in [[credit card]].
*Strong Bad is surprised at the email, but in [[the process]] he says he picks the email beforehand.
*The Strong Sad Easter egg simply said "sbemail200" on the corner of the screen without the ".html" at the end, as opposed to "sbemail179''.html''" in [[pizza joint]]. This may be because this email's URL is not "sbemail200.html" but "sbemailtwohundred.html".
*Rolling over "[[kind of cool]]" to show [[Senor Cardgage]] doesn't work on the word "cool", which is located at the beginning of the next line.
*Strong Bad never actually answers an email in this cartoon.
*During the closeup of "Dear Homestar", the following text is visible on the Lappy with a decompiler:
<blockquote>Oh...Steven! I think this may finally be it you guys! After 
200 emails I'm finally gonna get 
to make out with D-D-D </blockquote>
:This is most likely a scrapped intro for the initial email, and was later featured in [[Quote of the Week#QW-2008-10-16|the Quote of the Week]].

===Goofs===
*When Homestar puts cinnamon on his face, his eyes are the wrong size. They're quite noticeably squished and placed too high on his face.
[[Image:EmailThunderOffSync.png|thumb|100px|Blurry blurry blurry blurry blurry blurry blurry pants!]]
*In the clip from [[long pants]], when Homestar is blurred in the foreground, the table and carpet within the image of blurred Homestar are not in their proper places.
**Additionally, the first line of words on the screen are not there.
*On the end screen, there is no space between [[cheatday]] and [[pom pom]].
*The back button sends you to the [[TV Time Toons Menu|Toons page]] rather than the Sbemail page.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Originally on the end screen, highlighting [[ghosts]] would bring up a picture of [[Sterrance]], who never appeared in that email. This has since been corrected; the [[Bad Graphics Ghost]] now appears when that email is highlighted.
*Also originally on the end screen, sibbie was spelled "sibby".

===Glitches===
*If the Limozeen Easter egg is activated, followed by another Easter egg, Limozeen will continue to play over the other one.

===Inside References===
*Coach Z returning [[Strong Bad's fondue pot]] is a reference to [[50 emails]].
*Strong Bad signs his message to Homestar "Abdi", based on [[Abdi LaRue]], the sender of the very first email, [[some kinda robot]].
*This is another email featuring [[Mountain Dew]].
**Strong Bad pours Mountain Dew on the Happy like Homestar did to the Compy in [[anything]]. He also quotes Homestar's "apply liberally", imitating Homestar's impediment. He then [[Strong Bad Smiling|smiles]] twice while he pours it; once when sparks start to appear, and once when The Paper comes down.
*The Easter egg with Limozeen is lifted directly from [[flashback]].
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad refers to [[Strong Sad's Lament]], which, true to Strong Sad's words, hasn't been updated since September 9, 2005.
*In this email, The Cheat plays the [[Instruments|flute]].
*The Easter egg with Strong Sad uses the same theme as in the Strong Sad Easter egg in [[pizza joint]].
*Homestar's laptop [[Happy 8600]] is manufactured by [[Tandy]].
*Strong Bad apparently [[Interrupted Conversations|interrupts]] a Homestar Runner Email when he enters the room.
*The fonts used to write "200" in the intro are the fonts from each of [[Computers#Computers|Strong Bad's computers]].
*Homestar once again uses [[cinnamon]] for stubble.
*Homestar's disdain for the "repeat" pillow-fight topic seems to reflect the "topics the Brothers' Chap aren't likely to answer," most notably requests to "[[draw Trogdor again]]."
*Strong Bad's signs his email to Homestar with the catchphrase "[[Seriously|Sewiously]]", in the same vein as emails he received signed "[[Crapfully yours]]".
*Homestar's hremail24 is banned in a similar manner to Strong Bad's [[sb_email 22]].
*"Squeazeled" and "cavalanche" are [[portmanteaus]].
*The Paper returns to beat up New Paper, making it the first appearance of the original on the site since the email [[the paper]].
*Strong Bad's exclamation, "WTC?" appears to be an initialism for "[[Crap|What the Crap?]]".
*There are three instances of [[Not X]] in this email: Strong Bad is "almost not totally disgusted" by The Poopsmith's singing; he asks Homestar for "a tour of your not-in-front-of-your-computer"; and in an Easter egg, Strong Sad tells viewers to "be sure and not check out my blog."
*Homestar's list of hremails is similar to the one in [[personal favorites]], in that they both have narration that says ''"like the one when... wrote in..."'' and ''"and the one where..."'', as well as the first two emails being real and the rest being fake.
*Homestar claims to have taken some of [[Strong Sad's Pills|Strong Sad's pills]] when remembering the email [[long pants]]. Strong Sad's pills are also mentioned in [[funny]].

===Real-World References===
*The Poopsmith Easter egg refers to the song "My Michelle" by [[Wikipedia:Guns N' Roses|Guns N' Roses]].
*Homestar's laptop is modeled after an [[Wikipedia:OLPC XO-1|XO-1]], an inexpensive model distributed as part of the [[Wikipedia:One Laptop Per Child|One Laptop Per Child]] project. The laptop was made available to North American consumers during the 2007 holiday season in a "Give 1 Get 1" offer. Interestingly, the XO-1 keyboard is designed to resist liquids.
* The menu page description for this toon says, "Homestar will flip you. He will flip you for real." This is a reference to a memorable line spoken by [[Wikipedia: Benicio Del Toro|Benicio Del Toro's]] character in [[Wikipedia: The Usual Suspects|The Usual Suspects]].

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==
''{The scene opens in a darkened Computer Room with yellow tape (reading "LELLOWTAPE") all over the Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{from offscreen}'' Email is nice, ''{the lights come on and Strong Bad sits down}'' habalubabulabada! ''{rips the tape away}'' Email is twice, habilastilbilasaw!  ''{pulls up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: keeping life exciting</div>
dear strong bad, 
dude i am getting bored of the "no loafing" sign and blue 
paint. 
 
jamie ericson canada
</blockquote>

''{The "dear strong bad" echoes, causing Strong Bad to look around a bit. Strong Bad pronounces "jamie ericson" as "hom-ee-ay eric-SON".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' That's so funny that you should say that Jamie ''{says as an unintelligible mumble}'', because I was just thinking how bored I am with your butt, and your face, and your snotty nose.

''{"nose" echoes, and Strong Bad looks around some more. Strong Bad clears the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' I guess the No Loafing sign could take a cue from the fast-food, soft drink, and bad sports team industries and combat sluggish sales and decades of losing with a slick logo redesign.

''{The screen cuts back and then zooms to the No Loafing sign. The blue wall vanishes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rapping to a beat}'' First you squish it, skew it, and turn it all around. Squish it, skew it, turn it all around.

''{As he says this, the border disappears and the words are squished, skewed, and turned around. At the end, the words are at a slant.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Then we need to make it fast and slick and shiny like Flo Jo in a tuxedo.

''{The words curve, the tops of the letters become spikes pointing to the left, and they become all shiny.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{rapping again}'' Uh! Flo Jo with da tux-''eee''-do!

''{The words react to the beat of his rap, various decorations litter the screen, and a no symbol appears behind the words.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now it's time to play Color Wheel Roulette. No Whammies, no Whammies!

''{The colors of the sign cycle through various schemes, finally ending up on the words being a dull yellow and the circle in the background turning a greenish tan, with the blank space in the middle turning brown.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{audience groans}'' Awww... Ouch, man. Now, just when you think you're done, you gotta dip it in molten Plexiglas ''{the entire sign becomes glossy}'' to give it that "children under 3 are sure to choke on it" goodness.

''{With a "ding", sparkles appear on the logo.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, wait. Almost forgot the fangs.

''{With a roar, [[Bleeding|bloody]] fangs sprout from the logo.}''

''{Cut to The Cheat and Strong Bad, with a new-style iMac in front of The Cheat. The logo Strong Bad described is on the monitor.}''

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, I don't know how we're gonna print it out, seeing as how somebody sliced off the back of your monitor. And quit rubbing that plastic bar of soap ''{indicating The Cheat's cordless mouse}'' on the desk. You clearly don't have what it takes ''{rubs The Cheat's head}'' to bring NO LOAFING into the digital age.

''{The Cheat closes the window, and Strong Bad turns toward the viewer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' But I does!

''{Cut back to the No Loafing sign}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Fresh from elementary school cafetoriums and lotto machines...

''{The No Loafing sign transforms into a cafeteria-style LED display.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' comes one of those actually pretty hard to read message board signs.

''{"NO LOAFING" scrolls past, followed by a crawling worm.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Capable of advanced animation, scrollabatonies...

''{The words "GRUEL IS COOL!" come in, with the individual pixels coming from opposite sides before meeting.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...and twelve levels of blinkiness.

''{"NO LOAFING" returns and the letters blink. Then the screen blinks and fireworks appear on the display.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now we can celebrate the lack of loafing with some fireworks! And a man doing cartwheels!

''{The fireworks disappear and a man doing cartwheels moves across the display. Cut to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' No mortal would ''dare'' loaf under the four-colored dotted digital stare of this bad boy! Y'know, unless they looked up too late, and the "No" had already scrolled off...

''{Scrolls up to the display just as the "N" in "NO LOAFING" scrolls off.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...so they thought that it said, "Do Loafing."

''{The words "DO LOAFING" scroll on.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or maybe, like, Franklin Delano Loafing, our nation's laziest president.

''{The man doing cartwheels appears after "DO LOAFING", followed by "FRANKL" before the screen cuts back to Strong Bad's Lappy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' That's enough loaf. As for the blue wall, if you're gonna repaint anything, you might as well use that magic green screen paint that Hollywood still thinks looks good. Then the wall can be anything you want!

''{Cut to Strong Bad's computer room, but with bright green walls instead of blue. Strong Bad happily skips in the middle of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Imagine being able to frolic through the bread aisle...

''{The wall - and Strong Bad's bright green eyes - are replaced with an image of a bread aisle at a supermarket.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still a voiceover}'' ...without leaving the house!

''{Strong Bad turns toward the screen and leans against the wall.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{not a voiceover}'' Oh, bread aisle! Warm me with your enriched, bleached bosom! And please, give me back my sight!

''{Cut to another part of the computer room with the same green paint. Strong Bad is sitting on the floor, looking at the wall, and holding a controller.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Or play your favorite video games where the pixels are big as hams!

''{The wall becomes a video game called "Sundae Drivin'", which appears to involve a giant bowl of ice cream on wheels driving down the road collecting toppings.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{not a voiceover, imitating a car's engine}'' Vrrrrrrrr! Vrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

''{The sundae-car collects a cherry, and "CHERRY GET" appears on the top of the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Vrrrrrrrrrr! Watch out for the wet walnuts!

''{The sundae-car collides with a brown jar with a "W" on it and it explodes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Awwwwwww!

''{The screen reads "Your James Over".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' This game sucks.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' But what green screens are ''really'' for...

''{The screen cuts to Strong Bad, with a Greek spear, shield, and helmet, looking at the wall, which appears to be an island village with a "Claymation" cycloptic monster on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still a voiceover}'' ...is battling Claymation!

''{The monster steps forward and swipes in Strong Bad's direction.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{not a voiceover}'' It'll take more than karate pants to keep me from toilet-papering the temple of the gods!

''{Coach Z walks in. Where his bright green body overlaps the wall, the green screen's image appears over him, leaving just his head and feet standing on the carpet. His usual "Z" medallion is replaced with a glossy curved medallion with fangs, resembling The Cheat's remake of the No Loafing sign.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, Strong Bad! Check it out! I squished it! And skewed it! And turned it all...

''{The medallion is squished, skewed, and turned around. Both Strong Bad and the monster run off.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aaaaaaaaaaaah!

'''COACH Z:''' ...a... round?

''{Cut back to the Lappy}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aww, forget it, Jamie. ''{said as "whay-whay"}'' If you're so bored with my style, here's a change for ya.

''{Cut to the laundry room}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{from offscreen}'' No, pan up!

''{The screen pans up to reveal a seashell-themed wallpaper near the ceiling.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I've put up this delightful ocean-themed border in the laundry room! Oh, and look!

''{The screen zooms in on the dials on the washing machine.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I've hot-glued some actual shells onto the knobs of the washer and dryer!

''{Cut back to show Strong Bad standing next to the washer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All for under fifty bucks!

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, that's our show. Join us next week when we show you how to knit your own splatter paints!

''{Cut back again}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All for under fifty bucks!

''{A logo for "redesigning SBEMAILS, JERK FOOT" appears.}''

'''SINGERS:''' Ba-doo ba! Do Daaaah!

''{On "Daaaah!", the words "FOR UNDER 50 BUCKS" appear below. [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===
[[Image:Animated 'No Loafing' Sign.gif|thumb=NoLoafing SmAnim.gif|The "New" No Loafing sign.]]
*The Lappy was covered in "LELLOWTAPE" because it had been nearly eight weeks (up to 55 days depending on when Strong Bad took the Lappy [[Weclome Back|skydiving]]) since the last email.
*[[wikipedia:Bluescreen|Greenscreens]] are used in filming in order to have an alternate background behind the live action. The solid color wall is digitally replaced by a chosen background. This technique is called chroma key, and can actually be done with any color, though blue and green are the most popular since human skin tones do not contain blue or green pigments.

*The No Loafing Scrolling Sign is actually a [[Wikipedia:LED#LED_display_panels|scrolling LED marquee]] ''(Pictured)''.

===Trivia===
*This marks the first appearance of [[The Cheat's iMac (2006)|The Cheat's new computer]] (an [[Wikipedia:IMac#iMac G5|iMac G5]] or [[Wikipedia:IMac#iMac Core Duo|iMac Core Duo]]), replacing the "[[Tangerine Dreams]]" [[Wikipedia:IMac#iMac (Tray Loading) (aka iMac G3)|iMac G3]] he previously had.
*The floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#sundae_drivin'|sundae drivin]]".

===Remarks===
*The Flo-Jo'd No Loafing Sign with the no-symbol has inconsistent lighting. The no-symbol is lit from the top left while the text is lit from the top right. The strong highlights are also placed inconsistently.
*Strong Bad asks The Cheat how he can print when "somebody sliced off the back of [his] monitor", yet his laptop screen is just as thin and he has no trouble printing The Paper out.
*The cartoon shows Strong Bad playing video games on his greenscreen-painted wall. This is actually impossible in real life, since chroma key only replaces green areas ''after'' processing the film or video output. (This is why TV weather forecasters have to look at an off-camera monitor to actually see the map they are pointing to.) Strong Bad would only ever see a green wall.
*On the scrolling LED No Loafing Sign, it is possible to see that the glowing lights do not lign up perfectly, horizontally and vertically, with the dormant lights. Also, the words "No Loafing" slide across as a solid layer, rather than all the lights in each column lighting up one after another.
*The wall doesn't have any blue paint because it is evidenced that the room once had different wallpaper in the photo in [[no loafing]] and that the blue wallpaper, which was slightly torn, is clearly seen behind the [[Compy 386]] in [[virus]].

===Goofs===
*When Strong Bad clears the screen, the "I was just thinking how bored I am with your butt, and" line disappears prematurely.
*When the screen shifts to the No Loafing Sign, you can briefly see a second cursor on the Lappy's screen.
*When Coach Z walks in front of the Green screen, the edge of the carpet can be seen through his ankles. This should not happen, as Coach Z's feet would fully block the view of the carpet whether the green-replacement effect has "removed" Coach Z's feet or not.


===Inside References===
*"Scrollabatonies" was previously used in one of the [[Scroll Button Songs]].
*The box design for "Color Wheel Roulette Stupid Home Edition" is a reference to [[The Show#The Show! Stupid Home Edition|The Show! Stupid Home Edition]] from [[geddup noise]].
*When Strong Bad's game says "Your James Over" at the end, it echoes the [[Homsar Main Page]], where "Games" was pronounced "James".


===Real World References===
*"Franklin Delano Loafing" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Franklin D. Roosevelt|Franklin Delano Roosevelt]], the 32nd President of the United States. It's also another instance of [[Presidents]].
*"Flo-Jo" was a nickname for [[Wikipedia:Florence Griffith Joyner|Florence Griffith Joyner]], an American athlete.
*The famous phrase "No [[Wikipedia:Whammy (Press Your Luck)|Whammies]]" comes from the game show ''[[Wikipedia:Press Your Luck|Press Your Luck]]''.
*The Color Wheel picture is similar to that of [[Wikipedia: Wheel of Fortune|''Wheel of Fortune'']].
*The Color Wheel Roulette's claim of "50% fewer deaths than Russian variety" refers to the practice of [[Wikipedia:Russian roulette|Russian roulette]].
*"Redesigning SBemails" at the end is a reference to the many house redesign shows on channels such as [[Wikipedia:HGTV|HGTV]]. The [[Wikipedia:Bassline|bass line]] that accompanies this title graphic is a likely [[Wikipedia:parody|parody]] of the theme music to the show ''[[Wikipedia:Trading Spaces|Trading Spaces]]''. It also sounds similar to the theme music of [[Wikipedia:Seinfeld|Seinfeld]].
**The tag line "FOR UNDER 50 BUCKS" is a reference to budget redesign shows such as [[IMDB:tt0370125|''Design on a Dime'']].
*The "Cherry Get!" graphic that appears when Strong Bad is playing "[[Sundae Drivin']]" is a reference to many Japanese video games, in which "[Object] Get!" is commonly displayed whenever you collect an object. 
*The scene with the [[Stop Motion|stop motion]] cyclops is a mashup of [[Wikipedia:Ray Harryhausen|Ray Harryhausen]] movies, most notably of [[imdb:tt0051337|''The 7th Voyage of Sinbad'']], where Sinbad fights an orange claymation cyclops on the beach (though Harryhausen used his pioneering [[Wikipedia:Dynamation|Dynamation]] technique instead of greenscreens).
*"Pant one, pant two!!" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Pantone|Pantone]] color matching systems.

==Transcript==
''{A closeup of a time clock attached to a telephone pole. A time card is punched in. The words "Weclome Back" are shown, and flash various colors. Pull out to see Bubs holding a cup of coffee, in front of a table with styrofoam cups and an urn, in the Field. Marzipan enters and also punches in.}''

'''BUBS:''' Well hello, Marzi-person! Welcome back.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well howdy, stranger!

'''BUBS:''' Stranger? I'm Bubs, remember?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{unimpressed}'' Uh, I know. It's a joke.

'''BUBS:''' That's hilarious. How was your vacation?

'''MARZIPAN:''' It was toot-sweet! I took the Cool Tapes on a midwestern tour ''{the tour map pops up}'' of bead shops and topiary gardens.

''{Cut to a topiary garden; Marzipan, Strong Mad and The Cheat are playing in the band}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing}''
:Cool tapes are cool, and we're better than ever,
:Cool tapes are cool, 'cause we're light as a feather.
:Keep it down with that real cool flavor,
:Me and The Cheat and our bass player.
:Rockin' the spot.
:Yeah, we're rockin' the spot.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Thanks, jah! And don't forget we've got cool 7-inches for sale over at our merch table.

''{Cut to the merchandise table. Homsar is standing on it, it has a sign reading "Merch Masala" and another reading "Steven Inches $π"}''

'''HOMSAR:''' I'm a little light in the leftovers!

''{Homsar's hat flies off the left of the screen, and comes back on from the right and settles on his head. Cut back to Bubs and Marzipan at the coffee table.}''

'''BUBS:''' I bet you drove the shape-ed plants wild.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah, they were way into it. So what did you do?

'''BUBS:''' I drove my baloney sandwich truck down to the beach.

''{Cut to the tropical island. Bubs's "Baloney Sammich Truck", which resembles an ice-cream truck, doesn't quite fit, and the rear wheels are in the water.}''

'''BUBS:''' Baloney! Come on, people! Come on, palm tree! I'm-tryingtosellabaloneysammich!

''{An Atari seagull flies past.}''

'''BUBS:''' You shut your face!

''{Cut back to the coffee table.}''

'''BUBS:''' I sold exactly zero baloney sandwiches!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well that's great.

'''BUBS:''' Yeah, it was pretty much my best summer ever.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{walks in}'' Same here. I spent two glorious weeks at Gluten Camp. I learned more about this oft-misunderstood plant protein than I ever thought possible.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' What''eva!'' ''{puts a time card in the time clock}'' I was across the lake at Glutton Camp. And we challenged those pansies to an obstacle course!

''{Cut to the obstacle course, pan across to see Strong Sad and the King of Town stuck in two tire swings.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, should we call it a draw?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Hecks no! I got stuck in here 10 minutes before you!

''{Pan across to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Lets go, Glorten Camp! Glorten Camp is pain and scranin' on yous!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah? Well while you slo-mos were slounching around on your haunchy laurels, I was checking the most amazing email of my career!

''{Cut through static to Strong Bad, holding the Lappy, on a plane. Screen markers and a recording light are visible, as though viewed through a camcorder. Strong bad leans in and adjusts the focus.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Alright, Lappy, when I mash record on that camera, we're gonna perform the world's first death-defying midair SBEmail check! We'll make the cover of all the latest blogs! Now, are you psyched? I'm psyched, are you psyched? OK, 3! 2! 1!

''{Strong Bad leans in and presses a button on the camera. Cut through static to Strong Bad standing on the ground. The camera drops to the ground and slowly falls over.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, the believing is hard to be doing, because that was so incredible. We met so many celebrities in midair. And the part with the ''Narwhal'' ''(said "Nar-wayel")'' was ''so'' illegal.

''{Cut through static to Strong Bad, back at the coffee table}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, cuh-rap. What am I, your dad? I can't believe I pulled the old "Mash stop when you think you're mashing record and mash record when you think you're mashing stop" routine on myself.

'''MARZIPAN:''' But if we've all been on vacation, who's been taking care of the website?

''{Homestar Runner walks in, tired, wearing a dressing gown, a nightcap and [[Nebulon]] slippers, with a cinnamon 5 o'clock shadow.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{yawns}'' What's up my brothers? Let no one say the Homestar Runner don't know how to nap. What is it, like mid-May or something?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, try "early July."

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aah! I slept through June!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yup.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aah! Bet Agatha Christie would never sleep through June... neither would Angela Lansbury.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aren't they the same person?

'''BUBS:''' Yeah.

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Yep.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I think they are.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yes, they definitely are.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, it's settled then. Now, what's this I hear about some of you guys sleeping through June? I'll let it slide this time, but June-sleepers will not be tolerated from this day henceforth. Now, whose turn was it to bring the donuts?

'''EVERYONE:''' Yours.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I'll let it slide this time, but donut-rememberers will do-not be tolerated from now on. Alright, everybody, everybody. It's time to get this www-dot-show back on the road-dot-com. Now, places! And...

''{Cut to everyone standing in front of a plain blue background. The words "everybody, everybody" appear in front of them. The music from the Intro page plays.}''

'''SINGERS:''' Everybody, everybody! Everybody, everybody! Everybody, everybody! Everybody, everybody!

==Fun Facts==

*This toon is a reference to the real-life vacation that [[The Brothers Chaps]] took in the late spring/early summer of 2006, during which time the site went nearly seven weeks (48 days) without a major update (there were various minor updates during this period, but no toons).
*The Bologna Truck is a spoof on the [[wikipedia:Ice_cream_truck|Ice Cream Truck/Van]], which is popular both in the United States and Great Britain.

==Transcript==
''{A closeup of a time clock attached to a telephone pole. A time card is punched in. The words "Weclome Back" are shown, and flash various colors. Pull out to see Bubs holding a cup of coffee, in front of a table with styrofoam cups and an urn, in the Field. Marzipan enters and also punches in.}''

'''BUBS:''' Well hello, Marzi-person! Welcome back.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well howdy, stranger!

'''BUBS:''' Stranger? I'm Bubs, remember?

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{unimpressed}'' Uh, I know. It's a joke.

'''BUBS:''' That's hilarious. How was your vacation?

'''MARZIPAN:''' It was toot-sweet! I took the Cool Tapes on a midwestern tour ''{the tour map pops up}'' of bead shops and topiary gardens.

''{Cut to a topiary garden; Marzipan, Strong Mad and The Cheat are playing in the band}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{singing}''
:Cool tapes are cool, and we're better than ever,
:Cool tapes are cool, 'cause we're light as a feather.
:Keep it down with that real cool flavor,
:Me and The Cheat and our bass player.
:Rockin' the spot.
:Yeah, we're rockin' the spot.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Thanks, jah! And don't forget we've got cool 7-inches for sale over at our merch table.

''{Cut to the merchandise table. Homsar is standing on it, it has a sign reading "Merch Masala" and another reading "Steven Inches $π"}''

'''HOMSAR:''' I'm a little light in the leftovers!

''{Homsar's hat flies off the left of the screen, and comes back on from the right and settles on his head. Cut back to Bubs and Marzipan at the coffee table.}''

'''BUBS:''' I bet you drove the shape-ed plants wild.

'''MARZIPAN:''' Yeah, they were way into it. So what did you do?

'''BUBS:''' I drove my baloney sandwich truck down to the beach.

''{Cut to the tropical island. Bubs's "Baloney Sammich Truck", which resembles an ice-cream truck, doesn't quite fit, and the rear wheels are in the water.}''

'''BUBS:''' Baloney! Come on, people! Come on, palm tree! I'm-tryingtosellabaloneysammich!

''{An Atari seagull flies past.}''

'''BUBS:''' You shut your face!

''{Cut back to the coffee table.}''

'''BUBS:''' I sold exactly zero baloney sandwiches!

'''MARZIPAN:''' Well that's great.

'''BUBS:''' Yeah, it was pretty much my best summer ever.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{walks in}'' Same here. I spent two glorious weeks at Gluten Camp. I learned more about this oft-misunderstood plant protein than I ever thought possible.

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' What''eva!'' ''{puts a time card in the time clock}'' I was across the lake at Glutton Camp. And we challenged those pansies to an obstacle course!

''{Cut to the obstacle course, pan across to see Strong Sad and the King of Town stuck in two tire swings.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Well, should we call it a draw?

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' Hecks no! I got stuck in here 10 minutes before you!

''{Pan across to Coach Z.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Lets go, Glorten Camp! Glorten Camp is pain and scranin' on yous!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh yeah? Well while you slo-mos were slounching around on your haunchy laurels, I was checking the most amazing email of my career!

''{Cut through static to Strong Bad, holding the Lappy, on a plane. Screen markers and a recording light are visible, as though viewed through a camcorder. Strong bad leans in and adjusts the focus.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Alright, Lappy, when I mash record on that camera, we're gonna perform the world's first death-defying midair SBEmail check! We'll make the cover of all the latest blogs! Now, are you psyched? I'm psyched, are you psyched? OK, 3! 2! 1!

''{Strong Bad leans in and presses a button on the camera. Cut through static to Strong Bad standing on the ground. The camera drops to the ground and slowly falls over.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, the believing is hard to be doing, because that was so incredible. We met so many celebrities in midair. And the part with the ''Narwhal'' ''(said "Nar-wayel")'' was ''so'' illegal.

''{Cut through static to Strong Bad, back at the coffee table}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, cuh-rap. What am I, your dad? I can't believe I pulled the old "Mash stop when you think you're mashing record and mash record when you think you're mashing stop" routine on myself.

'''MARZIPAN:''' But if we've all been on vacation, who's been taking care of the website?

''{Homestar Runner walks in, tired, wearing a dressing gown, a nightcap and [[Nebulon]] slippers, with a cinnamon 5 o'clock shadow.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{yawns}'' What's up my brothers? Let no one say the Homestar Runner don't know how to nap. What is it, like mid-May or something?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh, try "early July."

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aah! I slept through June!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yup.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Aah! Bet Agatha Christie would never sleep through June... neither would Angela Lansbury.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aren't they the same person?

'''BUBS:''' Yeah.

'''KING OF TOWN:''' Yep.

'''MARZIPAN:''' I think they are.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Yes, they definitely are.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, it's settled then. Now, what's this I hear about some of you guys sleeping through June? I'll let it slide this time, but June-sleepers will not be tolerated from this day henceforth. Now, whose turn was it to bring the donuts?

'''EVERYONE:''' Yours.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, I'll let it slide this time, but donut-rememberers will do-not be tolerated from now on. Alright, everybody, everybody. It's time to get this www-dot-show back on the road-dot-com. Now, places! And...

''{Cut to everyone standing in front of a plain blue background. The words "everybody, everybody" appear in front of them. The music from the Intro page plays.}''

'''SINGERS:''' Everybody, everybody! Everybody, everybody! Everybody, everybody! Everybody, everybody!

==Easter Eggs==
* Click on the "Steven Inches" sign on the Merch table to see a "The Freewheelin' Eh, Steve" album cover.
* When the KOT first appears, click on his crown to see his "I'm with Glutton Camp" t-shirt.
* Click on the left-side "everybody" at the end of the toon to see Pom Pom and The Poopsmith on a desert island thinking about baloney sandwiches.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*This toon is a reference to the real-life vacation that [[The Brothers Chaps]] took in the late spring/early summer of 2006, during which time the site went nearly seven weeks (48 days) without a major update (there were various minor updates during this period, but no toons).
*The Bologna Truck is a spoof on the [[wikipedia:Ice_cream_truck|Ice Cream Truck/Van]], which is popular both in the United States and Great Britain.

===Trivia===
*The time card reads:
{| style="border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center; font-face: monospace"
|- style="border: 3px solid #F9C; font: bold 100% sans-serif"
! style="width: 5em" | IN: !! style="width: 5em" | OUT:

*The Cool Tapes tour goes through East Westerburg, Beadsburg, Bead Store City, Sculpted Busheton, New Beadshop, Topiarianapolis, Beeeeeds and Tope Gardens. Other towns on the map are Northtime, Pantsburg, Shoigut, Thuxtable and The Slickster.
*There are trees in the topiary garden shaped as an ice-cream cone, [[Trogdor]], a tree stump, and [[Wikipedia:William Shakespeare|William Shakespeare]].
*According to the sign on the side of Bubs's truck, he's selling:
**"Gumball surprise"—A baloney sandwich with a purple gumball on top.
**"Open Smiley Face"—An open baloney sandwich with a smiley face drawn on it in mustard.
**"I Heart Baloney"—A baloney sandwich with heart-shaped bread.
**"Dog Food"—A baloney sandwich with bone-shaped bread.
**"It's Not a Real Popsicle"—A baloney sandwich with popsicle-shaped bread.
**"Inside Out"—A piece of bread between two slices of baloney.

===Remarks===
*Coach Z's line about "Glorten" Camp echoes a similar line from him in [[mascot]]. There, he refers to the same entity in two different ways, and here, he refers to two different entities in the same way.
*When Marzipan says "toot sweet", she is actually misusing the French phrase "tout de suite" (which, when prononced rapidly, is said "tout'suite"), which roughly translates to "immediately".
*[[Wikipedia:Agatha Christie|Agatha Christie]] and [[Wikipedia:Angela Lansbury|Angela Lansbury]] are in fact not the same person. Christie was an English crime fiction writer and Lansbury is a English born American actress.

===Inside References===
*When Strong Bad says "I can't believe I pulled the "Mash stop when you think you're mashing record, and mash record when you think you're mashing stop" on myself" is a reference to [[Mashing_Go|mashing go/play on something]]
*The Atari seagull is from [[huttah!]]
*Marzipan's [[Cool Tapes]] band comes from [[Cool Things]].
*The toon's title includes [[Weclome]].
* Homestar appears to be wearing [[Nebulon]] slippers
* Bub's "Baloney Sammich Truck" has a Marshie look-alike baloney on the top.
* Bubs pronounces "shaped plants" the same way Strong Bad and Teenage Homestar pronounced "striped pants" in [[highschool]].

===Real-World References===
*The design of the Cool Tapes Marzipan amps are based on the design of the classic Marshall amp.
*A Vlog is a Video Blog, made popular by Youtube.com, a short video of the host sharing a part of their lives.
*The page title references the theme song from the sitcom ''[[Wikipedia:Welcome Back, Kotter|Welcome Back, Kotter]]'' ("Welcome back / Your dreams were your ticket out...").
*Athletic competitions between summer camps occupying the same campground are common in family movies and cartoons.
*The "Freewheelin' Eh Steve" album cover is a reference to Bob Dylan's early album, "Freewheelin' Bob Dylan."

== List of Keypress Easter Eggs ==
Feel free to edit this list if you find more.


'''[[50K Racewalker]]'''
*There is a "big head mode", similar to that found in many video games, especially first-person shooters and sports games. To toggle between "big head" and normal press the 'h' key on the "Choose it out" screen.

**This will only work for a lowercase "l". Having Caps Lock on, or holding down Shift, Ctrl or Alt will cancel the effect.

'''[[Meet Marshie]]'''

*If you press "r" on the keyboard when the toon is over, Homestar Runner will say something.
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I hate that freakin' robot.

*If you then press "f" after Homestar says the robot thing, you will get a disclaimer ad.
:''{We see the yellow screen from earlier, with the Fluffy Puff Marshmallows logo, a bag of marshmallows, and a jar of mayo.}''
:'''VOICEOVER:''' Fluffy Puff Marshmallows and Marshmallow Mayonnaise. Each sold separately. Comes with everything you see here. Batteries not included. Kids, don't eat nails. ''{pause}'' Is that it? Am I done? Can I go? Anybod—Anybody want to get something to eat?

*On the hints screen, you can use the [[Wikipedia:Konami Code|Konami Code]] (up up down down left right left right B A, and then click the word "START"). This will start you off with 30 lives.
*During the game you can hit the "k" key to kick the game. This doesn't seem to give you any advantage, but it does cause the machine to repeat the word "TROGDOR!" (A reference to [[Arcade Game]].)
