== Biography ==

[[Image:Babyds.PNG|thumb|The Diapersmith says: "Phrppp!"]]

'''The Shitsmith''' is just a regular guy with a ''very shitty'' job. Literally. It's unclear whether "The Shitsmith" is his actual name, as it's used occasionally with an [[Integral Article|integral article]], but often without. His body is peach-colored and egg-shaped, and he has small blue legs and feet, a white head, and an enormous underbite. He always wears a pair of large orange gloves stained with [[Whatsit|whatsit]], and he is usually seen carrying a large shovel. The Shitsmith has taken a vow of silence and [[#Speech|never officially speaks]], nor does he seem to ever display any emotions or facial expressions. He does occasionally hold up signs to communicate, however. He is sometimes seen poking his shovel as a half-gesture, similar to how his [[Old-Timey]] incarnation, [[The Demon]], uses his pitchfork.

While it is unclear exactly what his job is, The Shitsmith has been employed by [[The King of Town|the King of Town]], apparently to shovel whatsit for a living. While he never seems to transfer whatsit between his constantly-soiled gloves and anything he touches, the inherently filthy nature of his job tends to keep him out of most social circles; for example, he is apparently banned for life from Strong Bad's [[Swimming Pool]], as seen in [[keep cool]]. Despite this, he seems to be held in deep respect by the other characters. For example, [[Strong Bad]] has refrained from [[your friends|hurting]] The Shitsmith, figuring "the guy shovels [[Crap|crap]] for a living so his tolerance for pain's gotta be through the roof." He even [[big white face|made two cakes]] for The Shitsmith (though he threw one of them at [[Strong Sad]]). The Poopsmith also seems to be a good friend of [[Pom Pom]].

During [[disconnected]] he is depicted as being the King of Town's law enforcement agent, defending the King and his "municipality" from the rock-throwing disobedience of [[Head Bad and Strong Body|Strong Body]]. He also has some musical talents: he plays the cymbals for the [[K.O.T.H.S. Junior Varsity Marching Band]], which made its first appearance in [[Fall Float Parade]]; and is the lead vocalist for [[All the King's Men!]] despite never speaking (he simply gestures with the microphone).

''{Cut to the Shitsmith shoveling through his pile of whatsit}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen, narrating in animal show host type voice}'' Here we have a rare glimpse of the Shitsmith in his natural habitat. ''{drops narrative tone}'' Pretty nasty, if you ask me. Oh, ''{narrating}'' The Shitsmith has taken a vow of silence. ''{drops narrative tone}'' I'm about to take a vow of throwin' up my cookies all over this microphone. ''{taps microphone twice}'' How much is this thing worth, anyways? 'Cause it's about to be worth a lot less. No for real. The Shitsmith is a good guy. He just got a shitty job.

== Speech ==
[[Image:Shitsmith_spokemaybe.png|thumb|Couldn't be him. Naw.]]
The Shitsmith has taken a vow of silence and never officially speaks. However, there have been a few minor exceptions:
* In [[The King of Town DVD Storyboards]], The Shitsmith was supposed to say "Nope". This line was not included in the actual toon.
* In [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]], The Shitsmith (dressed as a Sleestak) hisses at Strong Bad (who was disguised as [[Homestar Runner]]) and [[The Cheat]].
* In Strong Bad's [[different town]], The Shitsmith would talk. To demonstrate this change, the fantasy Poopsmith says "Hello!"
* In [[highschool]], Strong Bad's "doodle memory" includes a scene with "The Diapersmith" blowing a raspberry at baby [[Strong Sad]].
* In [[senior prom]], a deep voice (similar to The Shitsmith's imaginary voice in [[different town]]) says "Oh yeah!"; though we never find out who actually says this, it is strongly implied that it was The Shitsmith (who was seen holding a microphone earlier in the email). When everyone looks at him in shock, he just shrugs it off.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Rapping}'' I'm not gonna sing an email song this week e—''{realizes mistake, talking}'' Oh. Never mind.

''{Pulls up email}'' ''{Reading}''

<blockquote class="email">YO Yo Strongbad, 
Hey Strongbad I was wondering if you 
have ever made Homestar cry. 
DJ Solerous Australia</blockquote>

''{After "Hey Strongbad" he stops mid-sentence and says: "Well, which is it? 'Yo yo' or 'Hey' Strong Bad? I mean, the outcome of the rest of this whole email hinges on the decision made—" Without skipping a beat, as if it no longer matters, he finishes reading the email.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Typing}'' Whoa! ''THE'' DJ Solerous? What an honor! I saw you spin in a warehouse in Canberra ''{He pronounces it as can-BEAR-uh.}'' a few years back! Uh, no wait. I lied. I, nor anyone else, have ever heard of DJ Smoldyface.

''{clears screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, have I ever made Homestar cry? Uh, yes. Yes, I have. A lot. I can pretty much make anybody cry just by showing them this drawing I invented of a one-legged puppy named "Li'l Brudder."

''{Strong Bad holds up a picture of a one-legged puppy saying "I can make it on my own."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughing}'' I mean, it cracks me up, but Homestar just falls apart when he sees him. A-like so... ''{Gets up and exits.}''

''{Cut to The Field. Homestar is standing there, looking angrily offscreen right. Enter Strong Bad.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Yeah, you ''stay'' over there.

'''STRONG BAD''': Hey, Homestar. I've got something for you.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Thanks, Strong Bad! What is it what is it what is it what is it what is it?

'''STRONG BAD''': It's just this drawing I made...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{uneasy}'' Oh, no. Don't do it. You know the storm that will unleash!

'''STRONG BAD''': No! I think you'll like it!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{Edge of tears}'' Strong Bad, no! I can't handle it!

'''STRONG BAD''': Ta-daaah! ''{Holds the Li'l Brudder drawing in front of his face.}''

''{Homestar breaks down crying, falls to his knees}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': No-ho-hooo... LIDD'L BRUDDOR! That little guy... He's got the heart of a champion! You can make it, Li'l Brudder! You just keep scrapin' along!

''{Strong Bad looks on in disbelief; Homestar is lying on the ground, sobbing hysterically and kicking at the air}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Li'l Brudder... I... ''I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING WITH MY LIFE!'' I-I'm thinking of getting into male modeling—o-or maybe high finance... I JUST DON'T KNOW!!

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{As Li'l Brudder, shaking the drawing like a crude hand puppet.}'' I'm gonna be all right, Homestar.''{Homestar is heard sobbing hysterically}'' I can make it on my own!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{sobs}'' It's like I said—the heart of a champion!

''{Enter the Cheat, from offscreen left.}''

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

''{Strong Bad turns to The Cheat and does his Li'l Brudder act.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Hey, The Cheat, I'm gonna be a quarterback when I grow up! I'm gonna throw for 2,000 yards! ''{The Cheat begins sobbing.}'' Don't cry for me, The Cheat-entina...

''{Enter Strong Sad, his eyes red around the edges and all watery, apparently trying not to cry.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': Oh, Strong Bad, is Li'l Brudder named after me? Do you think of ''me'' as a... one-legged puppy?

'''STRONG BAD''': Uhh, no. I think of you as a two-legged elephant...named "Tendafoot." ''{Pronounces name as "Tenderfoot."}''

''{He holds up a picture of this, with "Tendafoot" saying "I'm tops!"}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{Speaking as Tendafoot/Strong Sad}'' I could power a small city with my whining!

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{dejected}'' I probably could.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{still sobbing}'' Oh-h-h-h, Tendafoot, can you tell me how to get the most out of life?

''{Cut to Compy 386. Strong Bad enters and sits down.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{typing}'' There ya go. Homestar crying. Not a problem. I bet all a ya'lls [sic] are prob'ly crying all over the place. That Li'l Brudder sure knows how to tug at your heartstrings. ''{begins to choke up as he speaks}'' He's just such a trooper.  Got such a strong... one leg. ''{recovers}'' Um, yeah. I think I've got a ''{hesitates}'' food in the oven. ''{begins to choke up again}'' I gotta go.

''{Strong Bad gets up and hurries out.}''

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

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*The summary on the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed for this video says "Strong Bad invents a 1-legged puppy and the tears flow."
*This toon has [[Nondescript Nouns]] ("Food").

===Remarks===
* The tears flying off Homestar's face are the same as in [[A Jorb Well Done]]. In A Jorb Well Done, the water coming off his face is sweat.
* This is the first email to come from Australia.
* Strong Bad must be an extremely talented typist to be able to quickly type an entire sentence, complete with punctuation and capital letters, with only one hand as he holds up Li'l Brudder's picture with the other...while wearing boxing gloves.
**This is in contrast to the other instance of typing with a skewed view for the previous email [[pom pom]], where he failed to type coherently when he couldn't see due to his blindfold.
*The pieces of notebook paper are unusually rigid. Even when Strong Bad is holding the Lil' Brudder picture from the bottom it still stands straight up.
*When Homestar is rolling on the ground, it seems his shading stays on one side of his body.
*Homestar's height is different in this email, as he's proportionate to Strong Bad, whereas in most other toons and emails, he's taller than Strong Bad.

===Inside References===
*The DJ flyer is a reference to an Easter egg in [[techno]] for The Cheat's light-switch rave.
*"I can make it on my own" might be a reference to the Easter egg in [[invisibility]], where the tossed-out [[Tandy 400]] says it.
*When Li'l Brudder's leg wobbles, it makes the same sound that Homsar makes when he walks.

===Real-World References===
*On the DJ flyer, "DJ from Roseanne" is a reference to the television show "[[IMDB:tt0094540|Roseanne]]". Actor [[IMDB:nm0279896|Michael Fishman]] played the role of Roseanne's son D. J. Conner.
*"Don't cry for me the Cheatentina" is a reference to the song "[[Wikipedia:Don't Cry For Me, Argentina|Don't Cry For Me, Argentina]]" from [[Wikipedia:Andrew Lloyd Webber|Andrew Lloyd Webber's]] musical "[[Wikipedia:Evita|Evita]]".
*"Tendafoot" is possibly a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Boy Scouts of America|Boy Scouts']] rank of "[[Wikipedia:List of BSA rank requirements#Tenderfoot Scout|Tenderfoot]]", which is the first rank a Scout can achieve.
*[[Wikipedia:Canberra|Canberra]] is Australia's capital city. Most Australians pronounce the city's name "CAN-bruh." A minority pronounce it "CAN-buh-ruh" and a few use "can-BEAR-uh," though the latter is generally considered incorrect. The varying pronunciation is to some extent a class-based difference.
*[[Wikipedia:International House of Pancakes|IHOP]] and [[Wikipedia:Denny's|Denny's]] are restaurant chains that both specialize in breakfast items.

===Fast Forward===
*Li'l Brudder and Tendafoot later star in their own TV show, ''[[The Li'l Brudder Show]]''.
*Homestar mentions that he's considering male modeling while talking to Li'l Brudder. He later models for the front page of "[[Stupid Coincidence Magazine]]" in the e-mail [[modeling]].

===Commentary Transcript===
'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]]

'''MIKE:''' An email. Hi, guys!

'''MATT:''' Strong Bad.

'''MIKE:''' You just did that. Ummmm, guh, start us over. Start us over. No, let's keep going. Let's keep going. Let's keep going.

'''MATT:''' Are you sure?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Okay.

'''MIKE:''' All I can think to do is, like, start saying the email.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Just recite the lines along with it.

'''MATT:''' Mmmhmm.

'''MIKE:''' Don't we, don't you mispronounce uh...

'''MATT:''' Canberra?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' How are you supposed to say it?

'''MIKE:''' I dunno. I think its supposed to be... Canberra, or something.

'''MATT:''' Oh. Have we gotten complaints?

'''MIKE:''' I think there was, I think in one of the message boards, There was a...

'''MATT:''' I can't imagine Strong Bad being a stickler for, uh...

'''MIKE:''' Pronouncing foreign cities.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. Even though he is a stickler about a lot of other things. So this is where Little Brudder came from.

'''MIKE:''' That's right. He's since gone on to uhh, have his own theme song. Who do you think Homestar was talking to?

'''MATT:''' I think he was talking to that pile of, uh, Swiss Cake Rolls that he's friends with.

'''MIKE:''' Those things are bad for you!

'''MATT:''' They got in a fight and he told them to stay over there. Ober dere. Did you draw those new feet for this one, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' No, that was actually for the Cheat Commandos.

'''MATT:''' Oh, right.

'''MIKE:''' And Homestar's kneeling down, playing Cheat Commandos in the commercial.

'''MATT:''' I think the drool, the public drool, is really what does it with Little Brudder.

'''MIKE:''' Makes it what?

'''MATT:''' Even sadder. More pathetic.

'''MIKE:''' Those tears, that Homestar has, were originally sweat from, uh, an old cartoon.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Jumping Jacks cartoon.

'''MATT:''' That's been around forever, and unchanged, mostly.

'''MIKE:''' Yes, not very good.

'''MATT:''' No, they're not.

'''MIKE:''' They probably, they probably need to be updated.

'''MATT:''' They don't look at it.

'''MIKE:''' ''{noises, sounds like "thang, thang, thang"}''

'''MIKE:''' I always wondered about the abbreviation, or the shortening of little to li'l, and where the apostrophe goes. Because there technically should be an apostrophe after both, before and after the l.

'''MATT:''' Well, right, because there's an e at the end of...

'''MIKE:''' 'Cause sometimes I do lil', and sometimes I do li'l.

'''MATT:''' It's back when they spelled little litel.

'''MIKE:''' Yes, it's replacing all of those. One of the few times when Strong Sad, these days, is actually sad. He has really not been sad, in a long time.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, he's, yeah, it's true. We, our website sucks now.

'''MIKE:''' No, it's better. He became more um... developed. He used to just say things like, "We die a little more every day," or something like that.

'''MATT:''' "Each day we die a little more," Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Ha! Well, my impression was pretty good. Look at his extensive use of apostrophes, right there.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Prob'ly, and y'alls.

'''MATT:''' Um...

'''MIKE:''' He used an apostrophe there, in "I've." This is the apostrophe email.
