The '''Quote of the Week''' is a sound bite from the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work. These are found by clicking on the ''Q'' at the top of the [[Main Pages]], and are generally updated each week on Thursday. Here is a list of all Quotes of the Week collected since this feature started on January 10, 2002, under the name "Quote of the day". Since early 2004, the Quote of the Week was updated with more regularity. For some time before then, the quote of the week was a "[[Main Page Messages|what's new?]]" oval button. The dates of some quotes are estimated on the basis of the file-modified date.

:''For the July 29–November 11, 2004 quotes, the quote was only available as a .zip file. As of the November 22 quote, however, the download option appears to only be as a straight MP3, and The Brothers Chaps appear to be deleting each quote of the week as soon as the next one is released.''

:''Quotes after November 11, 2004 are transcribed on the website. Directly saving and opening the [[HR:qod.swf|Flash file]] produces some odd results; the standard Homestar image will appear along with a default message, as shown on the right.''

:''On July 27, 2006, a "loading" box was added for while the quote was loading, probably due to the unusual length of that day's quote. The following week, on August 3, 2006, the loading box was removed.''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The September 27, 2007 quote mentions [[Wikipedia:Polychaete|polychaete worms]], a class of worms that are known for their bristles and marine environments.
*The March 5, 2009 quote mentions [[Wikipedia:Xanthan gum|xanthan gum]], a common ingredient in gluten-free baking, and bulgar (or [[Wikipedia:Bulgur|bulgur]]), which is prepared from gluten-containing wheat.

===Trivia===
*The remix in the June 25, 2009 quote was originally called "Power Crunch" and is available unedited at [http://dod.vgmix.com/past/sep08/05tie-VikingGuitar-Stinkoman20X6-Crunch-DoD.mp3].
*In Bubs's quote from June 30th, 2005, "Check it out" was said 16 times.
*On December 21, 2006, only the Quote of the Week was updated; the Weekly Fanstuff and Sketchbook were not.
*Until August 9, 2007, the Quote of the Week of June 21, 2007 had not been updated for seven weeks, the longest hiatus between pop-up updates on record.

===Remarks===
*Occasionally, some quotes are used twice.
**Homsar's "I'm the human wedgie" quote was used twice on February 17, 2005, and June 7, 2005. Although the two sound bites were identical, the text used in both cases was slightly different. (The first time it was "I'm" whereas the second was "AAAaaaAAh'm").
**Homestar's "The good times are over!" quote was also used twice on June 16, 2005, and October 20, 2005, with spelling differences (lower-case letters instead of caps.) However, this probably was an accident or a placeholder, as it was changed the following day.
**Although it wasn't identical, Bubs's quote for March 25, 2005 ("Everybody knows me. My name Cornbread."), is very similar to his quote for February 16 2006 ("I got it-I got everything you wan know. Everybody know me, my name Cornbread.").
**The Homestar Runner's "Well, folks, you know what that means..." quote had only one difference; there was a colon on March 31, 2005, while ellipses were used on November 30, 2006.
**The quotes released on October 25, 2007, and September 22, 2005 were originally identical. However, the 2007 quote was changed within hours of being released. The quote 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 Sickly Sam's quote to this page].
*Strong Bad's quote from June 10th, 2005, was never featured on the site. Instead, it was said in "[[Where the Crap Are We?]]", which is an Easter egg in Macromedia Central.
*When using a [[Quote of the Week Character Heads|character head]] that hasn't been added yet, Homestar's head is used until the appropriate character's head is uploaded. This has happened several times.

===Goofs===
*February 9, 2006's quote calls the feature "Quote of the Day" rather than its typical name "Quote of the Week".
*The May 4, 2006 quote spelled the name of Strong Bad's [[Strong Bad's Ladies|imaginary girlfriend]] as "Delelilia". However, in [[senior prom]], her name was spelled "Delilelia".
*The November 17, 2006 quote is titled as an "outtake" in the [[Wikipedia:ID3|ID3]] tag. The quote may have originally been an outtake, then added to the toon as an Easter Egg.
*In the January 31, 2008 quote, "carrageenan" is misspelled "carageenan".
*In the March 13, 2008 quote, the "The" in The Cheat's name is not capitalized, and there is no comma after "blows". "Blowhole" is also misspelled as two words.
*The July 10, 2008 quote reads "taken out ''if''" instead of "of it".
*In the October 16, 2008 quote's text, the word "hundred" appears after "200".

===Inside References===
*If there is a problem finding the [[Secret Pages XML Source#Weeklies XML File|weeklies XML file]], the text (which has no sound) is Homestar saying:<blockquote>"Oh Haldo! This is my funniest word style ever times that I've said! Hope all is on to it even more lately! And I wish the chicken & msg place was open on Somedays"</blockquote>
**This makes references to [[Peasant's Quest]] ([[Unusual Greetings#Haldo|Haldo]]), [[for kids]] ([[all is on]]), [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]] (MSG), and [[monster truck]] (Somedays).
*The text can also be:<blockquote>"Oh Hello! This is my funniest word style ever that I said! Hope you're into it!"</blockquote>

===Real-World References===
*Strong Sad's quote about tai chi may be a nod to The Simpsons episode "[http://www.snpp.com/episodes/BABF22 HOMЯ]", which had a similar tai chi/chai tea gag.
*In the June 29, 2006 quote, "Circle gets the square" is a reference to the game show [[Wikipedia:Hollywood Squares|Hollywood Squares]], which is based on tic-tac-toe; the accompanying phrase is "X gets the square." [[Wikipedia:Shadoe Stevens|Shadoe Stevens]] was the announcer for two incarnations of the show (the John Davidson and Tom Bergeron-hosted versions), and occupied a square on the Davidson version.
*The December 14, 2006 quote mentions "Montelbon", probably a reference to [[Wikipedia:Ricardo Montalbán|Ricardo Montalbán]].
*In the August 9, 2007 quote, Bubs spells [[Wikipedia:Nestle|Nestles]], a Swiss maker of candy and other food products. It's a reference to Nestle's [http://www.archive.org/download/RadioCommercialsShows/Commercials.19xx.xx.xx_N_E_S_T_L_E_S.mp3 long standing jingle], "N-E-S-T-L-E-S, Nestle's makes the very best", especially its Alpine White version from the '80s, "Sweet dreams you can't resist. N-E-S-T-L-E-S."
*The September 13, 2007 quote references [[Wikipedia:Frosty|Frosties]] and [[Wikipedia:McFlurry|McFlurries]], ice cream treats served at [[Wikipedia:Wendy's|Wendy's]] and [[McDonald's]], respectively.
*In the March 26, 2009 quote, Homestar mentions [[Wikipedia:Darryl Strawberry|Darryl Strawberry]], a former Major League Baseball player.
*In the 04 June 2009 quote, D&D Greg mentions the "Talenta Halflings" and "riding dinosaurs". This refers to the [[Wikipedia:Eberron|Eberron Campaign Setting]] of Dungeons and Dragons, where the Talenta Plains are the homelands of the halflings, who do indeed ride on large raptor-like dinosaurs and herd various breeds of herbivorous dinosaurs.
*In the 15 Oct 2009 quote, Coach Z mentions "Paughkeegan", which might be referring to [[Wikipedia:Waukegan, Illinois|Waukegan]], a suburb of Chicago. Coach Z's accent is distinctly Upper Midwestern, which makes it very plausible that he'd know a person from Waukegan (or "Paughkeegan").

Handheld Games Menu

Gus — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 14:07:27 GMT

Gus: /* Goofs */

==Modern Handheld Games Menu==
[[Image:handheldgames postshooter.png|thumb|right|220px|Retro Game Page-y goodness.]]
The '''Handheld Games Menu''' is currently available by choosing "Old Games" on the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu]]. It is modeled after the vintage [[Nintendo]] [[Wikipedia:Game & Watch|"Game & Watch."]] The background can be changed so [[Homestar Runner]] can [[prancing|prance]] across [[The Field]], [[Strong Badia]] and [[The King of Town's Grill]].

'''Page Title:''' Exciting Handheld Action!

'''Date:''' July 29, 2004

===Available Games===
*[[Dancin' Bubs]]
*[[Homestar Talker]]
*[[Audition with Marzipan]]
*[[Bronco Trolleys]]
*[[Strong Libs]]
*[[Homestar Quiz]]
*[[Hairstyle Runner]]
*[[Fortune Cookies]]
*[[Who Said What Now?|Who Said What?]]
*[[Astro Lite]]

==Original Handheld Games Menu==
[[Image:originalhandheldmenu.PNG|thumb|right|220px|The original version]]
Previously, the Handheld Games Menu was the main Games Menu. Most of it was the same as the current Handheld Games Menu, but there were a few differences.

'''Date:''' July 14, 2002

*The last three games have been moved around a bit. The original version had the [[Videlectrix]] games "[[Population: Tire]]" and "[[TROGDOR!]]" (which were moved to the [[Scrolling Shooter Games Menu|new Games Menu]]) instead of "Fortune Cookies" and "Astro Lite", which were in the [[Museum]] at the time. "Who Said What?" was also eighth in line instead of ninth. Population: Tire had a tire as an icon and TROGDOR! had Trogdor as an icon.
*The text on top read "Super Fun Games-n-Such" instead of "Super Old Games-n-Such". The outline of the text was also thicker in the original version.
*The "bkgrd" button was where the "new games" button game is now. Obviously, the "new games" button was not in the original version.
*The mouth of the [[Strong Bad]] face ("Strong Libs'" icon) was filled in more in the original version. The question mark ("Homestar Quiz's" icon) was darker in the original version.
*The original version had a gray back button in the bottom-left corner of the screen, which the new version lacks.
*The original version calls the [[Who Said What Now?]] game "Spin `N Say", while in the new version it is called "Who Said What".

==Goofs==
*There are actually two select buttons, one is the yellow one and there is one behind it which is black that can be selected by clicking below and to the right of the yellow button or by pressing tab a few times which scrolls through the buttons.
*Pressing the "right" button while Astro-Lite 2600 is selected scrolls the selection back to the first spot, but pressing "left" when the first spot is selected doesn't move the selection at all.
*The icon for "Who Said What?" doesn't reference the actual game at all.

==Transcript==
''{The Poopsmith opens Strong Bad's mailbox and puts a letter in it. He is wearing a postal uniform with a small picture of The Cheat on the shirt. He closes the mailbox and walks away. Birds can be heard in the background. Cut to Strong Bad's Basement.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's here!

''{cut to The Cheat in the crisper drawer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's here!

'''STRONG SAD:''' It's here! It's fina-la-ly here!

''{zoom out to a full-body shot. Confetti shoots out from off-screen.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{singing}'' There's no more time for expectat—

''{Strong Bad pokes his head in.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut up!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{sadly}'' That was the happiest I've ever been...

''{cut to the mailbox. Strong Bad runs to it and grabs a slip of paper that's in it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I've been waiting all dang year for this!

''{zoom into a pamphlet that has the Compy logo on it, also saying "NEW PRODUCTS CATALOG". The year "2009" has been pasted over the year "1989".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The 2009 Compy new products catalog!

''{cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A new compy catalog is like Decemberween morning,

''{a picture of a present pops up in a thought bubble above him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' my birthday,

''{a bazooka pops up beside it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' A candy store,

''{the [[SBLOUNSKCHED]] bar pops up.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' and Strong Sad's funeral all wrapped together up in one piece of junk mail!

''{a party blower pops up next and blows. The clouds then disappear.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Now I can finally find a suitable replacement for the Lappy!

''{Strong Bad opens the catalog. Six laptops are on the first page, in various shades of tan. The text above the laptops say "A rainbow of choices!" The text below it says "Fabulous flourescents!}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, look at this new line of brightly colored Lappies! Neon Tan,

''{a laptop of that color appears on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Gray Passion, Rodeo ''{pronounces like "ro-day-oh"}'' Beige, Italian Same, Glittery Taupe.

''{zoom out to a full body shot of Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Seems like these are more for those stylish ladies and the rat-dogs that— Wait. did they just try to tell me ''same'' is a color?

''{flips the page}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading}'' Our most family-friendly Compy ever,

''{cut to a picture of a very large computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The roomy-vac is a computer for the entire household! Woah! Comes with built-in printer,

''{cut to a zoom-in of a built-in printer with paper feeding out of it. The text "Built-in!" flashes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Eight-inch monitor,

''{cut to a small monitor with a keyboard in front of it still built into the large computer. The text "Eight-in!" flashes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Three bedroom, two-and-a-half bath!

''{a family appears in front of the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And a front door for easy access!

''{a front door appears on the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading, monotone}'' The Roomy-Vac is a real powerHOUSE...get it? Oh, you don't? Well, because it's the size of a... Oh, you were kidding? You do get it? Pretty good, huh? No?

''{the price "$240,999.99" is below it but not read. Cut back to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why would they print that whole exchange? Anyway, what else they got?

''{flips the page.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{reading}'' Do you have problems opening up digital pictures of your grandkids or taking four consecutive steps? Then have we got a Compy for you!

''{cut to a computer similar to the [[Compy 386]], only with a [[Needlepoint]] screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Grampy Aught-Six utilizes easy to read 400-point type!

''{as Strong Bad speaks, the letters "Dear Oldie," appear on the screen two letters at a time, scrolling with a clang sound.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Turning even the shortest email into an unforgettable all-day affair! And you'll never lose track of our new

''{a very large arrow-shaped cursor appears on the screen.}

'''STRONG BAD:''' meat-loaf sized cursor,

''{The cursor transforms into a pixelly meat loaf.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' it's ''shaped'' like meat loaf too!

''{cut to a mouse.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Optional mouse, that is an

''{the mouse transforms into an ''actual'' mouse}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''actual'' mouse that will pre-chew your food for you, sold separately. The Grampy Aught-Six.

''{zoom out to Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Because Piccadilly's not open 24 hours.

''{flips the page, followed by a record scratch}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, my goodness, graphics. I like the looks of ''{high-pitched}'' thiis!

''{cut to a modern-looking computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Compé, because flat-panel sophistication demands made-up words.

''{zoom into the Compé.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Compy Compé delivers European-sounding flair,

''{Europe flies on the screen with the text "FLAIR" in it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' With southeast Asian-sounding prices.

''{Southeast Asia flies in with a dollar sign in it}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' My two most favorites!

''{explosion occurs. Cut back to Strong Bad who tosses the catalog in the air.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Sooold! I'm gonna put my eighty thousand pennies in the mail right now!

''{Strong Bad tosses a very large bag onto the mailbox with the word "compé" written on it. There is a single stamp on the right corner.}''

''{yellow text on a black background: 2-4 weeks later...}''

''{cut to Strong Bad sitting at the desk with the Compé sitting on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, Compé, that accent mark better not let me down!

''{he then turns it on. The word "compé" appears on the screen with a sigh.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So sleek. So-phisticated. So, Compé.

''{The Compé then pulls up a system error that reads the following:}''

<blockquote>FRAGRANT SYSTEM ERROR 
Your brand new computer is bloke. 
Please prepare to wait on hold 
with tech support for several hours. 
The current tech support smugness 
level is RED.</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' What the?

''{Strong Bad screams with frustration. The computer laughs and flashes the words "i joké" on-screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh-ho-ho-ho. A wise guy, eh? I think you and me are gonna get along ''just fine'', Compé.

''{cut to the picture of the Compé in the catalog.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' It's here! It's here! It's fina-la-ly here!

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The [[Compé]]'s error message, "Fragrant Computer Error. Your brand new computer is bloke." is an example of R/L confusion that often characterizes [[Engrish]].

=== Trivia ===
*Eighty thousand pennies is 800 dollars. 
**Eighty thousand pennies would also weigh roughly 450 pounds.
*When zoomed in, the card on the Decemberween present in Strong Bad's imagination reads:
<blockquote>TO: 
STRONG BAD 
FROM: 
MOM OR DAD</blockquote>
*When Strong Bad throws his bag of eighty thousand pennies onto the mailbox, several can be seen falling out.

===Remarks===
*Assuming the laptop's screen hinges are facing upward, when opened, the Compy logo would be upside down.
*The catalog showed six different colored laptops on one page, but five are shown individually.

===Goofs===
*Fluorescent is misspelled in the first page of the catalog.
*When Strong Bad is in front of the Compé, the screen's reflection can also be seen below the screen, but not above it.

===Inside References===
*When Strong Bad mentions a candy store, a [[SBLOUNSKCHED! bar]] appears.
*Strong Bad mentions [[Decemberween]] and [[Strong Sad's Death|Strong Sad's funeral]].
*The Cheat is lying in the [[Crisper Drawer]].
*[[Strong Sad Smiling|Strong Sad]] and [[The Cheat Smiling|The Cheat]] both smile in this cartoon.
*Strong Bad greeted [[The King of Town]] with "Dear Oldie" in [[Halloween Fairstival]].
*Strong Bad pulls his eighty thousand pennies out of [[hammerspace]].
*The "Flagrant System Error" message originated in [[50 emails]].
*Strong Bad previously said "A wise guy, eh?" to the [[Compy 386]] in [[virus]].
*The "sb_snailmail.exe" mailbox first appeared in the email [[other days]].
*An [[explosion]] is seen when "European Flair" and "Southeast Asian Prices" collide.
*The Compé's fragrant system error references the [[Compy 386]]'s errors, such as in [[50 emails]] and [[virus]].
**It also references how often [[Strong Bad's Computer Malfunctioning|Strong Bad's computers break]].
*"i joké" is another instance of [[lowercase i]]'s.

===Real World References===

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{film|Strong Bad}}, {{film|Strong Sad}}

'''Places:''' White Vastness, [[Basement of the Brothers Strong]]

'''Date:''' Tuesday, April 1, 2008

'''Running Time:''' 1:53

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Six}}, {{dvd|SBCG4AP Collector's DVD|notitle=true}}

==Transcript==
''{Music begins and text fades in from a white background: "And now an important safety announcement". Strong Bad walks forward in a flight attendant's uniform.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hello. And welcome to Strong Bad Gameways. Thank you for playing with us today. Please take a moment to familiarize your bad self with the following safety precautions.

''{The text "Safety Precautions" appears next to Strong Bad in dripping blue letters. Fade to a closeup of a Wii remote.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Due to the possibility of in-game wiggle and waggle, it is recommended that you play your game in a large, open space, free of debris, rubble, and flotsam and Jetsons.

''{Arrows and text appear during the above monologue to demonstrate "Wiggle" and "Waggle". A watercolor picture of a man swinging a Wii remote appears to demonstrate a "large, open space". Sketches of a vase of flowers, a flaming military jeep, a message in a bottle, and a cross-eyed George Jetson appear to demonstrate "debris", "rubble", "flotsam", and "Jetsons", respectively.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ideal play spaces include: gymnasiums, abandoned airplane hangars, deserts, and fruitèd plains.

''{The man swinging a remote appears in the above environments on each verbal cue.}''

''{Cut to a sketch of a room with an open window and a Wii remote on a table.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' If you are seated in a window seat, please be advised that the Baba Jaga may show up to steal your firstborn baby.

''{The Baba Jaga appears carrying a sack with a baby on the verbal cue.}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad, wearing an inflatable vest and holding a Wii remote.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Lastly, your game controller is equipped with a safety cover that can double as a flotation device. ''{closeup of Wii remote}'' Simply pull on the cord, and the device will inflate.

''{Strong Sad pulls on a tab on the bottom of the remote, and the Wii jacket inflates.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh!

'''STRONG BAD:''' But we're not quite safe enough yet. ''{cut to Strong Bad}'' At this time, you may want to inflate your ''own'' safety vest to prevent ''anything'' from ever happening.

''{Cut to Strong Sad. He pulls the cord to inflate his vest and it engulfs him.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Waah!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' On behalf of our awesome-based crew, thank you for playing with us. You are now fully prepared to enjoy your game in total unplayable safety.

''{Closeup of the "Strong Bad Gameways" logo, a golden [[The Cheat]] with wings. Music fades.}''

''{Cut to Strong Sad and Strong Bad trapped in inflated vests in their basement. Their Wii remotes are on the floor, protected in inflated jackets.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I think my contents may have shifted!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, man. This is the best game I've never played!

''{Cut to a closeup of the game on the TV. In the game, a 3D Strong Bad is standing at The Stick and looking around. The score is -1000 and the text "Actual Gameplay Footage" flashes over the screen. A Wii remote appears onscreen with the flashing text "Do something!" The Strong Bad sprite scratches himself and shrugs, and the text "Nevermind." appears next to the Wii remote. The Strong Bad sprite hangs his head and walks away, and the text "Game Over" fills the screen.}''

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*[[Wikipedia:Baba Yaga|Baba Jaga]] is a witch appearing in Slavic folklore.
*The phrase ''[[wikipedia:Marine debris|flotsam and jetsam]]'' describes discarded odds and ends or any objects found floating or washed ashore.
*This safety demonstration partially resembles those done prior to the takeoff of an airplane.
**The wiggle and waggle refers to [[Wikipedia: turbulence|turbulence]]

===Trivia===
*This is the first Homestar Runner video officially released on [[YouTube]].
*The YouTube address hash for this video was given in an Easter egg in [[shapeshifter]].

===Remarks===
* The 3-D Strong Bad on the [[Telebision]] has a plain white mouth, unlike the real Strong Bad's flesh-colored mouth.
*Most windows on modern airplanes are incapable of being opened.

===Goofs===
* On Strong Sad's Wii Remote, the rightmost column of speaker holes is misaligned relative to the other two.

===Inside References===

*Strong Bad says this is the [[Best/Worst X Ever|best game he's never played]].

*The game footage resembles Strong Bad just "standing there" from [[cartoon]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:George Jetson|George Jetson]] is the father on the animated series ''[[Wikipedia:The Jetsons|The Jetsons]]''.
*Among many other references to the [[Nintendo]] [[Wikipedia:Wii|Wii]] and its ubiquitous safety warnings:
**The picture of a man swinging a remote is a direct sketch of an actual Wii warning screen.
**The various empty and/or remote areas refer to the Wii's warning screen advising to play in an open space.
**The scene with a remote on a table near an open window is modeled after the screen in Wii games that reminds players to take a break.
**The safety device on the remote is a reference to the [[Wikipedia: Wii Remote Jacket|Wii Remote Jacket]], designed to increase grip.
*The mention of "fruitèd plains", as well as the red-white-and-blue-striped clouds in the scene, is a reference to the song "[[Wikipedia:America the Beautiful|America the Beautiful]]".

===Fast Forward===
[[Image:Gameplay Footage.png|thumb|"This is the best game I've never played!"]]
*It is later revealed that [[Telltale Games]] and [[The Brothers Chaps]] were both creating [[Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People]], a game to be released as PC and Wii software. "Strong Bad Gameways" can also be viewed at Telltale Games' page for SBCG4AP. The "Actual Gameplay Footage" seen in this video is in fact ''actual'' gameplay footage from that game.

'''Places:''' [[Marzipan's House]]

'''Release Date:''' Monday, March 2, 2009

'''Running Time:''' 3:30

'''Page Title:''' Temporary Steward's Answering Machine

==Transcript==
===Marzipan's Greeting===
'''MARZIPAN:''' Hi this is Marzipan. I'm off volunteering in the Coches Mountains, teaching the heathens how to bend pipe cleaners. I'll be back in—

''{Strong Sad's arm appears and he presses the "record" button.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Sorry, Marzy.

''{Cut to full view of Strong Sad in front of the table.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Time to exercise one of my favorite perks of house-sitting!

''{Strong Sad presses the button again. Cut to shot of the answering machine.}''

===Strong Sad's Greeting 1===
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{rolls R}'' Grrrreetings weary telephone traveler. I sense you have come in search of Marzipan, but you have stumbled upon so much more. 'Tis I, Strong Sad, house-sitter extraordinaire. Please organize your thoughts for Marzipan in order of least depressing to most depressing. As for crank calls, allow me to give you a theme: furtive glances.

''{Strong Sad presses the button again. Cut to full view of Strong Sad in front of the table.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{puts hand on head}'' Ugh, too verbose. Come on, Sads, ''{smacks belly}'' quick and to the point! In and out! Hook 'em and cook 'em!

===Strong Sad's Greeting 2===
'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{rapping}'' Marzipan be gone! Strong Sad be here, so drop your purpose in mine ear! I'll pass it on before too long—

''{Strong Sad presses the button again. Cut to full view of Strong Sad in front of the table.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Let's pretend that never happened.

''{Strong Sad presses the button again. Cut to shot of the answering machine.}''

===Strong Sad's Greeting 3===
'''STRONG SAD:''' Hello, this is Strong Sad, temporary steward of Marzipan's domicile. Please leave your jumbled message at the tone, so I can articulately reword it in journal form for Marzipan to read upon her safe return.

''{Strong Sad presses the button again. Cut to full view of Strong Sad in front of the table.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' Good enough for guv'ent work I say.

''{Cut to a black screen with red lettering reading "SOON..."}''

===Message 6===

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait, what? Hold on, I wasn't prepared for this. Just gimme a sec. ''{Writing noises, paper turning, and Strong Bad mumbling in the background}'' Okay, I'm ready. Yes, this is... Strooong Baaad calling for... Strooong Saaad... uh, I'm gonna knee you in the face... for breakfast? Hold on, let me reconfigure and call back.

===Message 5===

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Ella Phantzgerald. I left some of my stuff over at Marzipan's the last time she always had me over there for dinner all the time. So when you come home, could you be sure to grab my Marzipan's TV, my Marzipan's guitar and amp, and oh yeah, my Marzipan's cash and her jewelery. ''{A silhouette of Strong Bad carrying a large object walks across the screen}'' If you do, the chance of dead things in your bed drops into the 42 percent range!

''(Zoom out to reveal Strong Bad carrying a large [[Instruments#Amplifier|guitar amp]] with jewels hanging on the corner. Strong Sad is standing next to the answering machine.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah, you can ignore that one.

''{He walks off the screen. Cut back to answering machine.}''

===Message 4===

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Dang, Marzipan, you sounding fine. You sound finer than the fine you get when you return a movie late to the movie store!

''{Zoom out to reveal Homestar standing next to, and facing away from, Strong Sad and the answering machine. Strong Sad has a disgusted look on his face. Homestar is actually speaking as opposed to the sound being a recorded message.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' You're even sounding finer than a three dollar fine for new releases! Maybe I should swing by for a lit—

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{Hands on hips, yelling at Homestar, angrily}'' That is ''quite'' enough!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Turns around, surprised}'' Oh! Marzipan! ''{Dejected}'' You look, um, gray... -t. Is that a new... skin you're wearing?

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{angrier}'' It's Strong Sad!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It is! It is strong sad and strong unfortunate what happened to your face! ''{Gets right up in Strong Sad's face}'' Ooh! Pyoww!

''{He runs off-screen, then runs back on, and gets back in Strong Sad's face}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Call me! Pyoww!

''{He runs off-screen again}''

===Message 3===

'''COACH Z:''' What a crock! This is not what I plunked 9 bucks in quarters into a broken pay phone to hear! Strong Sad, remind me to kick your shins unmercifully next time I see ya! And also, ya think the five hundred feet from Marzipan's house thing still counts if she's not in it? Cause I cop some sweet gooseflesh when I hit that four hundred 'n ninety-seven foot range. Ooh! Creeped myself out there. Gonna hang up!

===Message 2===

'''THE KING OF TOWN:''' ''{Munching}'' What? Sorry, I didn't hear your outgoing message. I was choking down a chocolate dipped tapeworm. Anyways, agent Panzimar, about the plot against S. Sad, things are moving along just as planned. Hit a snag with step 2, though: the camel died and was decidedly undelicious. Will move forward with barrel of hot sauce approach. Provided that makes it past dinner time, look for my signal in the northwest sky. Ting of Kown, out!

===Message 1===

'''MARZIPAN:''' Strong Sad! What did you do to my outgoing message? Those things are like my adopted foreign babies! Anyway, I forgot to tell you that a guy named Slick Somebody called from a place called—

''{Cut to wide shot of the room. Strong Sad is gone. There are foot imprints are in the carpet where he stood.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' —Marzipan's Stupid Face plumbing, and said he replaced my toilet's Roman candle valve? Whatever that is. So maybe don't flush the toilet until—

''{From offscreen, Strong Sad flushes the toilet and several explosions go off. Several flashes are seen and toilet water splashes onto the floor.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{weakly}'' Ohhh...

''{Cut back to the answering machine.}''

==Easter Eggs==
* After listening to all the messages, click on the tape deck to hear Bubs.
: '''BUBS:''' Marzipan, it's Bubs! You're three weeks late on that movie rental, lady! And that V. I. Warshawski still counts as a new release! That's three dollars a day! Plus, what's wrong witcha voice? You sound all fat, depressing, and Allan Poe. And you're gonna be ''real'' po' if you don't pay that late fee! Heh heh heh. Shop at Bubs'!

==Fun Facts==

===Explanations===

*[[AHD:61/27/H0112700.html|Heathens]] are persons regarded as irreligious, uncivilized, or unenlightened.

===Trivia===
*The answering machine is, for the first time, labeled "[[PhoneTime XL800]]", replacing the [[PhoneTime XL8]] used since [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 9.2]]. The only noticeable difference, besides the label, is the "Record" button.


===Inside References===

*This is another mention of [[babies]].
*"The Ting of Kown" is a [[Spoonerism]].

'''STRONG BAD:''' Umm... ''{typing}'' Did you just call me a dog food gangsta? What is that supposed to mean? ''{in an Olde English typeface}'' Ought I to be offended? ''{clears screen}'' Anyways... ''{typing}'' The secret to my pizzaz/ ''{says the word "slash"}'' why am I so cool? ''{spoken only}'' Hey, ''{typed and spoken}'' good questions Ryguy, let's ask me!!

''{music starts and a newspaper background appears}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Tonight, on Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum:

''{The Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum logo appears.}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' Strong Bad aims the barrel of his sawed-off journalism shotgun at his toughest interviewee yet...

''{a crosshair appears and moves around the screen revealing the scene underneath it before centering on Strong Bad's head and flashing "LOCKED ON!!"}''

'''ANNOUNCER:''' ...HIMSLEF! ''{echoes ridiculously}'' Eh...I mean...himself.

''{The scene changes to Strong Bad's interview stage with the lights dimmed; Strong Bad is talking to someone off-screen with his microphone turned off. The lights fade up and Strong Bad turns toward the camera.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good evening, mostly people, and welcome to another night of hard-hitting, buffalo-style journalism! As we say every show, let's...

'''AUDIENCE:''' Get to tha point!

''{The text "GET TO THA POINT" flashes on-screen in colorful graffiti-style writing}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Welcome, Strong Bad.

''{The camera switches to the rear of Strong Bad to reveal another Strong Bad, this one dressed in a sailor's cap with a corncob pipe, hereafter referred to as "CAPTAIN STRONG BAD" for clarity's sake; aside from the hat and pipe, he's a carbon copy of Strong Bad}''

'''CAPTAIN STRONG BAD:''' Thank you, Strong Bad.

''{The camera shifts back and forth between them as they talk.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So... You're dressed like a ship's captain. Whuh... Um... Why are you dressed like a ship's captain?

'''CAPTAIN STRONG BAD:''' I thought that I heard that it was... ''{looks around}'' ...the latest style.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Absolutely not the case. So... You're still dressed like a ship's captain. Why is that?

'''CAPTAIN STRONG BAD:''' Look, I'm telling you, I either saw or read or ''{quickly under his breath}'' hearditfromTheCheat that it's the latest style!

'''STRONG BAD:''' So you say. This "The Cheat" you mentioned... ''{speaking with slight hint of withheld laughter}'' is he also dressed like a ship's captain?

'''CAPTAIN STRONG BAD:''' Oh, no way. The Cheat's too cool for that.

'''STRONG BAD:''' But you don't seem to have that problem.

'''CAPTAIN STRONG BAD:''' What... No, wait, you turned it all around on me! I'm cool! I have pizzaz!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Uh-huh. And a corncob pipe.

'''CAPTAIN STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that's it! This interview is OVERRRR!

''{Strong Bad sticks his face in the screen and shakes his fists as the picture fuzzes out.}''

''{Cue an old-cartoon-style picture of The Cheat next to a pulled power plug with the text "Hang In There" and "Technical Difficulties."}''

''{After a little while, newspaper background and music returns with a picture of Captain Strong Bad's angry outburst.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' So after many fives of dollars and saying "Come oooonnnnnn!" a lot, I got Strong Bad to agree to a second interview, this time on his buffalo-style ranch in Strong Badia.

''{Switch to image of Strong Badia with Strong Bad and Captain Strong Bad behind the fence, which zooms to fill the screen and then cranes in on the two Strong Bads.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' So, Strong Bad, the peoples want to know... What's the secret to your pizzaz?

'''CAPTAIN STRONG BAD:''' Well, for starters, you've gotta have the three G's. Gumption, uh... Gum, like, chew gum, and, um... Gar........gle. Minty gargle.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Minty...gargle. ''{Captain Strong Bad nods.}''

''{The camera switches to behind the fence, showing that it is far too tall for Strong Bad's head to come above it normally, and that they are both actually hanging from the fence by their arms}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Is that really all you got?

'''CAPTAIN STRONG BAD:''' Yeah... Yeah, pretty much.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{He makes "la-de-da-de-da" Cheat noises as he comes on-screen and the camera moves back to the front of the fence.}''

'''BOTH STRONG BADS:''' Hey, The Cheat!

''{The Cheat looks at one, then the other, then the other, faster and faster until finally his head explodes.}''

''{The scene shifts back to the computer.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So, I never really got a straight answer outta me, RyGuy. But if you wanna be cool and have pizzas like me, it looks like the secret has a lot to do with fresh breath apparently. Okay, before I go, I'd like to give a shout out to all my Dogfood Gangstas. Canned or Dry, We Neva Die. ''{speaking}'' Colors. ''{typing}'' Here goes The Strong Baaaaad. ''{gets up from the stool and continues off-screen}'' Oh, here goes The Strong Baaaaad!

*Click on "Dogfood Gangstas" at the end of the email to see a [[Powered by The Cheat]]-style graffiti image of Strong Bad as a Dogfood Gangsta.
*Also click on "The Strong Baaaaad" to get a preview of Strong Bad's old-western-style TV show "The Strong Bad" (In Colors!), created by [[A. Chimendez]].
:''{Cut to a wooden gate with a sign reading "Buffalo-Style Ranch."}''
:'''SINGER:''' Here comes the Strong Bad! Here comes the Strong Bad! Yeeha!
:''{The words "The Strong Bad in Colors! Created by A. Chimendez" appear. A bullet hole is shot through the words.}''

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*To saw off the barrel of a shotgun is a technique to make it more effective at extreme close quarters.

===Trivia===
*The words that scroll across the screen in the intro for the talk show read "MICROPHONES," "TALKING," "2 PEOPLE," "A GLOBE," and "A PLANT."
*When the Strong Bad in the sailor outfit knocks over the chair in the interview room, [[The Geddup Noise]] is heard.
*According to the DVD commentary, RyGuy is the [[The Brothers Chaps]]' nickname for [[Ryan Sterritt]]. Additionally, it is his email address.

===Remarks===
[[Image:Sb pizazz hat.PNG|thumb|Slide n' Slide time!]]
*"Pizzaz" is spelled incorrectly. The correct [http://m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va=pizzazz spellings] are "pizzazz" and "pizazz".
*Biscuitdoughhandsman is the initial suspect for Strong Bad's crimes in "[[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]]", created by [[Bubs]] drawing [[The King of Town]]'s description of Strong Bad. So technically, one could say Strong Bad will be interviewing himself again.
*The two Strong Bads are the first instance of [[duplicate characters]].
*Bazookas (or rocket launchers of any type) do not come in a "gauge" as described in the Biscuitdoughhandsman Easter egg. "Gauge" can refer to shotguns, where it is an indirect measurement of the barrel based upon how many balls of buckshot could be made out of a pound of iron for that shotgun. The larger the barrel, the smaller the gauge, as each individual ball of buckshot had to be bigger. (Nowadays the process for making buckshot is different, but the measurement continues to be used.) A rocket launcher's ammunition would be described in how long or wide its rocket is, such as a "40mm rocket".
*When Captain Strong Bad turns his head during the first part of the interview, his hat seems to slide across the top of his head from side to side.

===Goofs===
*Ship's Captain Strong Bad's right arm is missing during most of the first interview, making his hand float somehow.
**It re-appears when Ship's Captain Strong Bad shouts "This interview is over."

===Inside References===
*The background at the Buffalo-Style Ranch is from "[[Cheat Commandos...O's]]".
*"The Strong Bad" (In Colors!) was created by [[A. Chimendez]], who also writes the episodes of [[Cheat Commandos]].
*The phrase "Neva Die" was said by Homestar Runner in "[[car]]." The gangsta font is also used in [[car]], on Strong Bad's boxing glove.
*The background in the beginning of The Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum is the same as the background in the beginning of "[[Senor Mortgage]]."
*The cartoon image of The Cheat pulling out a power plug is a reference to The Cheat's first appearance in "[[Original Book|The Strongest Man in the World]]."
*This is another instance of [[The Cheat's Head Exploding]].
*The font used for "Get to tha point" is similar to, if not the same as, the font used for Strong Bad's graffiti "Job" in "[[A Jorb Well Done]]."
*The plant on Strong Bad's show is [[Credenza]] the ficus from [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].
*Strong Bad [[Featuring Self|features himself]] on his own show.
*Strong Bad mentions [[pizza]]s.
*The Cheat, when entering Strong Badia, is humming the tune that Marzipan hums at the very beginning of [[The Reddest Radish]].

===Real-World References===
*The interview program may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Tim Russert|Tim Russert]]'s [[Wikipedia:Meet the Press|''Meet the Press'']] on which Russert often tries to be tough about unimportant topics ("So...you're still dressed as a ship's captain"). Russert also makes frequent references to his hometown of [[Wikipedia:Buffalo, New York|Buffalo]], while Strong Bad makes numerous references to such in this email with the phrase "Buffalo-style."
*"This interview is OVER!" is a reference to [[Professional Wrestling]] Manager J.J. Dillon, who managed [[Wikipedia:Ric Flair|Ric Flair]] in the early '80s in Georgia (where [[The Brothers Chaps]] live). He would end every interview with the same comment.
*The gunshot sound at the end of the Easter egg (and the style of the hole being blasted from the "The Strong Bad" logo) is taken from the [[Wikipedia:Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES game]] ''[[Wikipedia:Super Scope|Super Scope 6]]''—and is the sound used in all the [[Wikipedia:Lazer Blazer|''Lazer Blazer'']] games when a shot is fired.
*Strong Bad dressing up as a captain for an interview is similar to an episode of [[Wikipedia:Seinfeld|Seinfeld]] in which Jerry is forced to wear a pirate shirt for an interview and is asked why he is wearing it by his interviewer several times.
*The Three [[G]]'s, also known as "GGG," will be familiar to any [[Wikipedia:Dan Savage|Dan Savage]] (''[[Wikipedia:Savage Love|Savage Love]]'') reader. It refers to being Good, Giving and Game in an intimate relationship.
*The concept for the fictitious TV show ''The Strong Bad'' is based on ''[[Wikipedia:Bonanza|Bonanza]]'', the first regularly broadcast American television program to be filmed in color. In particular, the "Here Comes the Strong Bad" theme shares many traits with Bonanza's: a rising major triad, with the first tone repeated several times with rhythmic values less than a beat, followed by the other two tones, each taking up a full beat.
*"Canned or Dry, We Neva Die. Colors." is a reference to the song "Colors" by rapper [[Wikipedia:Ice T|Ice T]]. Specifically, the line "The gangs of L.A. will never die, just multiply, colors".

===Fast Forward===
*Strong Bad puts on the ship's captain hat again in [[modeling]].
*The "Technical Difficulties" screen from this email later donates its format and style to the "Pardon Our Problems" screen in [[Fall Float Parade]].
*Biscuitdoughhandsman will again be the never-seen subject of the next episode in the email [[myths & legends]].

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

'''MATT:''' Here's the rare occasion where ''Mike'' went out of town and I had to finish an email.

'''MIKE:''' That's true. I was in San Francisco and Matt did pretty much the whole thing by himself. Good job, Matt.

'''MATT:''' Thanks. Did it come out okay?

'''MIKE:''' It did.

'''MATT:''' I think—

'''MIKE:''' It's the— it's always a good treat when that happens because then I get to watch the email on Monday morning.

'''MATT:''' Fresh.

'''MIKE:''' Fresh and not really knowing what happens.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' So it was good.

''{pause until Strong Bad types, "Ought I to be offended?"}''

'''MIKE:''' That's—

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' He's got dynamic like, tone sensors on his keyboard.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah that knows—

'''MATT:''' That can tell when he gets quieter and when he's getting formal. 'Cause I think it does the same thing when he says the, uh, "and Trogdor smote the Kerrek."

'''MIKE:''' That's right.

'''MATT:''' And turns into that fancy font.

'''MIKE:''' That script font.

'''MATT:''' ''{in reference to the Strong Bad-Type Interview Progrum title screen}'' Talking, a globe, a plant, two people.

''{scene cuts to interview}''

'''MIKE:''' I think that's the same newspaper background from the, uh, Senor Cardgage. The thin in.

'''MATT:''' I think you can read some phone numbers on that. We should probably do something about that. ''{laughs}''

''{pause until after Strong Bad says "Get to tha point"}''

'''MATT:''' That background is, uh, almost as good as if not better than [[the show]] background as being uh— looking like an old Joe Franklin set or something.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah like, uh, Fernwood 2Nite or something. Some '70s talk show. Is that— is that plant—

'''MATT:''' Credenza?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, Credenza?

'''MATT:''' Yeah. That's Credenza.

'''MIKE:''' Umm... we just saw a guy in the parking lot of our office dressed as ship's captain this morning.

'''MATT:''' A pail of water—

'''MIKE:''' He had a bucket full of water dumping it in the parking lot and he was wearing a ship's captain hat.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. He had pizzaz.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' He definitely did.

'''MATT:''' Umm so Strong Bad really lays it to himself. Really gives himself the business. With a third d—

'''MIKE:''' As only Strong Bad could.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. He doesn't react very well. You think he could— he could take it.

'''MIKE:''' He just quits. This is a great song. This is a great song! ''{starts singing}'' I'll sing it ''{continues singing and snaps his fingers}''

'''MATT:''' ''{makes a the Cheat noise at the end of the song like "meh"}''

'''MIKE:''' That was good.

''{short pause. Start again when Strong Bad says "come on."}''

'''MIKE:''' Let me— let me see.

'''MATT:''' Oh. Microphone I think is one of the words.

'''MIKE:''' I don't think there's any thing legible.

'''MATT:''' Water. Water Views. Uhhh—

'''MIKE:''' Oh! Look at that camera move!

'''MATT:''' Yeah thanks.

'''MIKE:''' Solid!

'''MATT:''' Cinematic.

'''MIKE:''' Little dolly action.

'''MATT:''' I did go to film school!

''{both laugh, then sigh}''

'''MATT:''' Uhh..

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' So I don't even think— I think I already started animating this scene and then realized that, "Wow! You know what they have to either be standing on something or hanging from the fence." So I had 'em hanging from the fence.

'''MIKE:''' That was good.

'''MATT:''' Umm... uh oh.

'''BOTH:''' Here it comes again!

''{The Cheat's head explodes}''

'''MATT:''' That's gotta hurt. That happens—

'''MIKE:''' That happens several times. RyGuy is, uh, the nickname of our friend Ryan.

'''MATT:''' That's what we call him.

'''MIKE:''' Or— Well... I was gonna say something but it was a curse word. ''{laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Mike, don't tell— we don't know any curse words!

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

'''MATT:''' Shut up! That's like that rap song, Colors by Ice-T. "The gangs in LA will never die, just multiply. Colors."

<blockquote class="tandy email">Hey Strong Bad, 
 
Happy Flag Day! I bet you have a totally awesome 
flag for Strong Badia. You should share it with us. 
 
Your pal, 
Pablo 
Phoenix</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads the last two lines as "Pablo Phoenix".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, you sound like some kind of popstar, man. Look Out Ladies Production presents: Pablo Phoenix, this Friday at the civic center. ''{typing}'' Anyways, Pablo. Happy Flag Day to you too, man. It just so happens Strong Badia has about the coolest flag you ever saw. ''{His voice starts echoing a lot, like he's speaking in front of a really large crowd}'' Would everyone please rise for the presentation of our national colors.

''{The Cheat is standing beside the flag pole and pulls up the flag of Strong Badia. The flag has three horizontal stripes, one red, one white, and one brown. In the middle, there's a picture of a green snake with the word "Snake" handwritten over its body, holding a knife in its tail and crawling through a tire.

*After Strong Bad's coin, you can quickly click on The Cheat and see his coin, which reads "Don't Mess With THE CHEAT", "2 Bits", and "A Bad Penny."

==Fun Facts==
===Remarks===
*Flag Day is actually celebrated on June 14th, three days before this email was released. Therefore, the email must have been sent the preceding Friday.
*The flag is made up of parts of Strong Badia. The brown part represents the dirt, the white part represents the fence with the jagged top, and the red part possibly represents Strong Bad himself or the [[Stop Sign]]. The [[Tire]] is next to the fence and the [[Big Knives|Big Knife]] has been referred to/used by Strong Bad numerous times. The snake doesn't seem to represent anything of Strong Badia in particular, although 18th century American revolutionary flags such as the [[Wikipedia:First Navy Jack|first US Navy Jack]] and the [[Wikipedia:Gadsden flag|Gadsden flag]] (both with a prominent snake on them along with the slogan, "Don't Tread on Me") could be the inspiration behind it.
*When The Cheat is playing the tune while Strong Bad sings, he only presses one key. Old Casio keyboards would often allow you to play a preset background tune with harmonics by pressing one button.
*The chord progression at the end of the anthem, as Strong Bad sings "Population Ti-i-i-ire," is a plagal cadence, often referred to as the "amen" cadence for its use at the conclusion of sacred music.
*If The Cheat's penny is worth two bits, it has the same value as a quarter.
*The Cheat's hand movements are a constant repeating animation (such as Homestar's eyes blinking), so not only does it not sync up with the song, it will still be playing if you go into the Flash file and deselect "Play".
*The anthem music is already starting while The Cheat is preoccupied with hoisting the flag, even though The Cheat is afterwards shown to be the one playing the song.
*While the rhythm bed is in 4-time, the lyrics are sung in 3-time, although it's not 100% regular.

===Goofs===
*When The Cheat is raising the flag and it is hanging down, the line between the red and white stripes is straight. When it is fluttering in the breeze, it is jagged.
*When The Paper comes down in front of the Strong Badian flag, the left side of its shadow can be seen right behind it, as if the sky in the background were an actual surface like the flag.
*The snake isn't seen on the flag until it is fully unfurled, but when the wind begins to pick up the flag, enough of its surface can be seen to display the snake.
*When the flag is hoisted, the snake doesn't appear until a split second after the flag starts blowing in the wind.

===Inside References===
*On the ticket to Pablo Phoenix's event, all the way on the right, vertically, it says "no refund no delabor," which is a reference to the numerous members of the Delabor family that work at [[Thorax Corporation]].
*This is an instance of [[Blood|bleeding]].

===Fast Forward===
*The Strong Badia National Anthem later makes brief appearances in [[fan club]], [[Date Night]], and [[Strong Badia the Free]], though it has yet to be sung in its entirety since this email.

==DVD Version==
*All of this email's eggs can still be viewed using the angle button.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

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

'''MATT:''' Hello, this is more commentary.

'''MIKE:''' This is more commentary, too. Thank you for joining us.

'''MATT:''' Uh... I think Pablo Phoenix was, well, back when we had a message board on the website—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, he was one of the regulars

'''MATT:''' —was one of the regulars, yeah, which was kind of cool. We didn't know, tha—well, a— well, at the time, but later on he showed up and... true.

'''MIKE:''' Something that uh, we often talk about is the original lyrics to the Strong Badia National Anthem

'''MATT:''' Oh yeah, tell them—they're written down somewhere

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, I think I sang those this morning. Um, which were "This one is great, truly truly great"

'''MATT:''' "The land of all people, the land of different stuff"

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

'''MATT:''' Or something like that.

'''MIKE:''' It ''had'' to be changed

'''MATT:''' It was not good at all. And, uh

'''MIKE:''' ''{singing}'' This one is great, truly truly great.

'''MATT:''' ''{joins in}'' Truly truly great... ''{spoken very quickly}'' the-land-of-all-people-the-land-of-different-stuff. Um, so the scale here, that's a tiny Strong Badia flag there, Mike. The Cheat should've been much smaller.

'''MIKE:''' Heh, that's true. The scale... We're not very consistent with our scale.

'''MATT:''' Yeah... We should make a style guide.

'''MIKE:''' ''You'' can make a style guide.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, ''you'' make one, more like.

''{Mike laughs}''

'''MATT:''' Um... So this is the first appearance of Strong Bad.

''{Mike and Matt laugh}''

'''MATT:''' Look, that's the year I was born! 1976! Thanks, Mike, did you do that on purpose?

'''MIKE:''' I think I did do that on purpose.

'''MATT:''' Awww, you guys!

'''MIKE:''' And all the action figures always cost 11 dollars and one cent, which is your birthday.

'''MATT:''' Eleven oh one!

'''MIKE:''' November 1st. Now everyone knows your birthday so maybe they'll get you presents!

'''MATT:''' Don't get me any presents guys! Uh, I always wanted you to—you didn't do a clink there. I think I even made a clinking sound effect for those two bottles and you didn't put it in.

'''MIKE:''' There's lots of—

'''MATT:''' 'Cause Mike finished this up, I remember that. I had to go out of town.

'''MIKE:''' There's no—

'''MATT:''' And Mike finished it up. Well yeah, but it ''clearly'' deserves a sound effect.

'''MIKE:''' Well there's ''lots'' of things that... You don't hear the X-Acto knife carving into Strong Mad's flesh sound that we always use.

'''MATT:''' That, that's true. This is what it sounds like. ''{Matt makes a gross-sounding carving sound effect with his mouth}''

===Fun Facts===
*[[Wikipedia:X-acto|X-acto knives]] are usually used for hobbies and crafts, not scarification.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Letters. And words. Emails get absurd, I just gotta jump back?

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: bike thieves</div>
Hey Strong Bad, 
I'm at college and I need to keep my bike from being 
stolen. I figure if I think like a thief, I can figure out 
how to protect it. So, how would you try to steal my bike? 
Virginia 
MI
</blockquote>
''{Strong Bad reads MI as two letters}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' ''{disappointed tone}'' Oh, not smart enough for MIT, huh? Just MI? ''{clears screen}'' ''{regular voice}''Well first off, how do you know your crappy bike is even worth stealing? How many pegs you got? Mag wheels? White tires? Worthless baseball card in the spokes? If not, then you got nothing to worry about. What self-respecting bicycle thief would steal a (shudder) ten-speed? Or a (shudder, shudder) mounTAIN bike? The only thing those bikes gets you is tired. Any bike with a water bottle holder is a complete waste of bike. ''{clears screen}'' But, let's pretend you do have a cool bike. I would first go to my old thieving standby: dress up like a bush. ''{pronounces it "boosh"}''

''{Cut to the field. Strong Bad is hiding behind a short berry bush with cartoon eyes, his feet clearly visible. He shuffles over to a pink bicycle, carrying the bush with him. He picks up the bike through the bush, and starts carrying it away.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow.
''{Pull out to see Pom Pom talking on a phone. He looks away from his phone to glare at Strong Bad.}''

'''POM POM:''' ''{bubbles}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{walking offscreen}'' Oh, I mean... Bush. Bush. Leaves. Branch. Um... Berries.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And don't forget: dressing up as a bush is also a great way to get free pizza!

''{Cut to Bubs' Concession Stand. Strong Bad walks up to the counter behind his bush costume.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Can I have some free pizza?

'''BUBS:''' Sure thing, bush!

''{Bubs pulls a pizza box from behind the counter and drops it on top of the bush. Strong Bad walks off-screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Variations on this approach—

''{Cut to the field, with just Strong Bad standing in the middle of screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —include dressing up as a cactus,—

''{The bush is replaced by a cactus, with Strong Bad badly concealed behind it, and cartoony eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —a trashcan,—

''{The cactus is replaced by a trashcan, again with cartoony eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —or a barrel.

''{The trashcan is replaced by a wooden barrel, yet again with cartoony eyes.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Though, depending on your physique—

''{The Cheat appears next to Strong Bad's barrel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —you could also dress up like... a hideous pile—

''{The Cheat turns into a pile of unidentified pink goo, with tufts of hair, a crushed can, a plank of wood, a circular saw blade, and two misaligned cartoony eyes. Strong Bad inches away from the mess. Strong Mad appears on the other side of the barrel.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' —or a... textile factory?

''{Strong Mad turns into a factory building, signed "BRRLAP", with cartoony eyes near the roof. Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So if I were you, I'd steer clear of pretty much anything with cartoon eyeholes. If that method didn't work for me, I'd go for the awkward swindle. This is especially effective on college campuses.

''{Cut to The Stick. A silhouette of a CGNU building is visible in the background. Homestar, wearing a backpack and backwards cap, is chaining up his white bike to The Stick, the chain is simply looped over the top branch. Strong Bad, sporting a ponytail, walks in, carrying a clipboard.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, brother. Hey, my bromide. You look like a cool guy who likes to progress. I was wondering if you'd be interested in signing this petition to ban roll-on...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, um, yeah, sorry, uh, I've got a class...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...free vegan food...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...and my roommate's like... you know...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...fellowship...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ...so, my parents, um...

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...drum circle?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Computer lab! ''{darts off-screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Man. so effective! I've stolen people's lunches this way... their girlfriends... puppies even!

''{Strong Bad throws away his clipboard and walks over to Homestar's bike, and starts kicking the tires. Marzipan walks in, with multicolored dreadlocks, and her own clipboard.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Hey, my bromide, wanna sign this...

'''STRONG BAD:''' Meal plan! ''{darts offscreen}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Cool, man, free bike.

''{Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' But my all-time favorite thiefnique has got to be, the best use of black turtlenecks and suction cups ever devised: cat-burgling!

''{Cut to a featureless orange wall. Strong Bad climbs up the wall with suction cups, wearing a black turtleneck and beanie.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Almost... to the top!

''{Cut to Strong Bad's basement... Strong Bad climbs up from behind the orange couch. The bicycle seat [[Red, White, and Banana]] is on the couch, and two laser guns duct taped to the couch on either side of it. Strong Bad pulls out a spray can of "C'mon! It's Fog!" and sprays it into the air, revealing the two laser beams.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, Ponch. Laser tech security! I'll have to employ some Chinese acrobatics!

''{Strong Bad tries to jump up, but is stuck to the couch.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, these suction cups are stuck to the side of this couchscraper. Ah, somebody? The Cheat? Come put that bicycle seat in my mouth! Gently!

''{The lights turn on.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Aw, Jon! Light tech security!

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{walking in}'' Well, if you had agreed to play Cats the musical, instead of cat-burglar, maybe you wouldn't be stuck to the back of the couch again.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I would rather die.

''{Cut back to the computer room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' That's how I'd do it, College Bike Owner. So keep away from shrubbery, don't talk to anyone with a clipboard, and avoid putting your bike on the roof of glass skyscrapers.

''{During the next part, Strong Bad types "Your bike should be totally safe if you listen to me. I am a good person that gives sound advice. Bike on, my friend, bike on!" while he says his other lines.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Secret message to bike thieves!

''{The words "SECRET MESSAGE!" flash on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bolt cutters, guys! Just use bolt cutters!

''{The words "BOLT CUTTERS!" flash on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' We'll split the pawn-shop money fitty-fitty!

''{The words "FITTY FITTY!" flash on the screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' See you next time!

''{[[New Paper]] comes down, printing a picture of [[The Paper]].}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nice try, New Papes. Though that does make me feel a little better... he was so stripedy...

==Easter Eggs==
*After Strong Bad says MI, click on it to see a pennant for Mediocre Institute.
*Click on "baseball card" to see a [[Trading Cards#From bike thief|trading card]].
*At the end, click on "safe" for this:
:''{The Lappy slowly moves to the right}''
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, what the?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{dressed up as a trash can, speaking in a monotone voice}'' Garbage. Garbage. Rubbish. Umm... murder weapon.
:'''STRONG BAD:''' Are you supposed to be a trash can or a robot?
:'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Ummm... ''{pulls out petition reading "The Bromide Solution"}'' you wanna sign this petition, my bromide?

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*"Mag wheels", (not to be confused with [[Wikipedia:Magnesium alloy wheels|Magnesium alloy wheels]]) are wheels on a bike that are made with larger and thicker spokes than on a typical bike. Typical mags had 5 to 6 large "spokes". The bike pictured in this episode are of a bike with wheel covers. These plastic covers actually fit on the outside of a traditional spoked wheel, much like a hubcap on a car.
*"Pegs" are metal tubes affixed to a bicycle's front or rear axle, allowing the rider to balance their weight on an area other than the pedals and freeing the body of the bike for a wider range of tricks.
*A bromide is an ion of a bromine atom with a charge of -1. Such bromides as potassium bromide were once used as sedatives, leading to the once prevalent use of the word "bromide" to indicate someone or something is platitudinous and boring.
**Bromide is water soluble, so a bromide solution would be bromide in water.
*Attaching a baseball card to the spokes would simulate the sound of a motorcycle as the wheel rotates.
*"[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=earf Earf]" is a dialectic spelling of "Earth."

===Trivia===
*Strong Bad's petition reads:
<blockquote>-PETITION- 
i do hearby sign that 
i am in full support 
of fully supporting 
all the good causes 
and casual effects of 
said causes and, as it 
were, caucuses. now, 
previously, and also 
futurely held... 
X________________</blockquote>
*Marzipan's petition reads:
<blockquote>Counter-Petition 
I, the willing signer of this 
document, betta recognize 
that Earf in trouble. Earf 
injured. Injured bad. 
 
X______________</blockquote>

*Homestar's bike is a Huffy SIGMA circa 1987.
*The summary for the [[Podstar Runner]] RSS feed reads, "Strong Bad teaches a college kid how to avoid getting their bike stolen."

=== Remarks ===
*In [[hygiene]], two emails prior, Strong Bad complained about a lack of college girls sending him email. The sender of this email, Virginia, appears to be a female college student.
*"Thiefnique" is a [[portmanteau]] of "thief" and "technique."
*"Couchscraper" is a [[portmanteau]] of "couch" and "skyscraper."
*"Brrlap" on Strong Mad's textile-mill disguise refers to [[Wikipedia:burlap|burlap]], a durable but coarse cloth made of vegetable fiber.
*Strong Bad can spray the can of fog, although his hands are stuck to the couch later.
*Homestar's trash disguise has his own eyes, whereas Strong Bad, Strong Mad and The Cheat wore disguises with a unified, cartoony eye pattern, quite distinct from their own.
*Homestar boasted in [[cliffhangers]] that he had the history and the motive to steal the Lappy.
*While Homestar is stealing the Lappy, clicking its screen will not create any ripples.
*Strong Bad's bush disguise bears a similarity to a berry-laden bush appearing in the [[Peasant's Quest]] video game.
*This is the first toon to show the exterior of a [[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU]] building (assuming that the tower in the background is in fact a building).
*Strong Bad claims that no self-respecting bicycle thief would steal a "mounTAIN bike." Then, dressed as the bush, he proceeds to steal Pom Pom's mountain bike.
*Assuming the couch is a standard one with fabric upholstery, Strong Bad ''couldn't'' have either climbed up or gotten stuck to the couch with suction cups.
*At the end of the [[Podstar Runner]] version of the email, the Easter egg of the Lappy slowly moving to the right starts automatically; however, it does not show Homestar Runner stealing it.

===Goofs===
[[Image:Backwards Pizza.PNG|thumb|azziP dlO 'sbuB "sdrawkcab yllaer a-s'tI"]]
*After Strong Bad receives the pizza and turns around, the logo on the pizza box gets reversed.
*When College Strong Bad throws the clipboard into the air, and then a second time he throws it off the screen, the entire text occasionally gets reversed.
*The printed The Paper is straight and does not follow the curvature of the New Paper.
*The word "safe" can be clicked even while the monitor continues to move in the Easter egg at the end, which restarts that segment from the beginning.
*When Homestar steals the Lappy, the power cord doesn't stretch or move. Instead it stays as it is.
*In the podstar version, the audio only plays on the left speaker until after the switch back to Strong Bad's lappy after Marzipan's line.
*In the easter egg, during the cut to the wide shot, the New Paper disappears.

===Fixed Goofs===
*Strong Bad misspelled "enough" as "enogh" in the beginning of his response. This was fixed a few hours after it was released.

===Inside References===
*The pizza Bubs gives Strong Bad is [[Bubs' Old Pizza]] from [[privileges]].
*Pom Pom's costume is from [[technology]].
*The cat-burglar scene shows another instance of [[duct tape]].
*Strong Bad's cat-burgling outfit was seen before in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]] (minus the suction cups).
*The music playing as Strong Bad first appears in his bush disguise made its debut as [[Sterrance]]'s theme in [[animal]].
*The bicycle seat [[Red, White, and Banana]] first appeared in [[the chair]].
*When Strong Bad attempts to steal the bike seat off of [[the couch]], he is foiled by two [[Wikipedia:Lazer Tag|Lazer Tag]] guns. [[The Poopsmith]] previously carried one of these guns when he [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats Costumes#The Poopsmith|dressed up in Lazer Tag gear]] in [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]].
*Strong Bad's line, "I would rather [[Death|die]]," when asked to do something with someone, was first heard in [[Biz Cas Fri 1]].
*The can in The Cheat's hideous pile is the same as the can Homestar kicks in the Easter egg in "[[original]]".

===Real-World References===
*Strong Bad makes reference to the [[Wikipedia:Massachusetts Institute of Technology|Massachusetts Institute of Technology]].
*The [[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU]] building bears a strong resemblance to [[Wikipedia:Tech Tower|Tech Tower]], the main administrative building on the [[Wikipedia:Georgia Institute of Technology|Georgia Tech]] campus in downtown Atlanta, not far from where [[The Brothers Chaps]] live.
*''[[Wikipedia:Cats (musical)|Cats]]'' is a musical stage production, premiering in 1981, in which all the actors, portraying cats, perform in skin-tight costumes.
*[[Wikipedia:Ban (deodorant)|Ban]] Roll On is the name of an actual deodorant product.
*Ponch and Jon were the main characters of the television show [[Wikipedia:CHiPs|CHiPs]].
*The laser guns taped to the couch appear to be [[Wikipedia:Lazer Tag|Lazer Tag]] "StarLyte" pistols.

== Transcript==

''{Coach Z and Bubs are sitting next to each other in lawn chairs at dusk, waiting for fireworks to start.}''

'''COACH Z:''' Naw, I tell ya's, I once shoved an M-80 up my nose just to impress the lady-types!

'''BUBS:''' Aw, that's nothin'. I once ate an entire bowl of M-200's at my family reunion!

'''COACH Z:''' Oh yeah, well I married an M-300—

'''BUBS:''' ''{angrily}'' They don't make a 300.

'''COACH Z:''' Oh... 250?

'''BUBS:''' No!

'''COACH Z:''' Elephant?

'''BUBS:''' Hup-bup-bup-bup!

''{Homestar comes in with Cardboard Marzipan. Each of Cardboard Marzipan's lines are actually provided by Homestar Runner in a high, light voice.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey guys! Happy Fireworks!

'''CARDBOARD MARZIPAN:''' Homestar, that's not what the holiday's called.

'''BUBS:''' Marzipan's still out of town for the summer, eh, Homestar?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{angrily}'' No, what're you talking about?

'''CARDBOARD MARZIPAN:''' Yes, I'm still out of town, Bubs, you gorgeous hunk of man.

'''BUBS:''' ''{blushing}'' Oh, why thank you, Cardboard Marzipan.

'''COACH Z:''' Hey, Cardboard Marzi! I want in on some of this action?

'''CARDBOARD MARZIPAN:''' No, you're disgusting.

'''BUBS:''' What's takin' these fireworks guys so long anyways? I got peoples to rip off!

''{Cut to Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat. Cans of gas and WB-46 are around them as well as a sign that says, "The fireworks guys (f'real)".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, I don't know what I was thinking when I agreed to let you make your homemade fireworks, Strong Mad.

''{Cut to Strong Mad's fireworks, which are just batteries and matches taped together.}''

'''STRONG MAD:''' OOH AHH! OOH AHH!

'''STRONG BAD:''' We'll get to the oohing and ahhing soon enough. But first, we gotta go straight to plan G!

''{Cut to The Cheat with "''PLAИ "g"''" painted on him.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{sadly}'' Meh...

''{Strong Mad grabs The Cheat and starts shaking him. The Cheat makes noises.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wait for it... wait for it...

''{The Cheat's noises turn higher-pitched.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And... pull!

''{Strong Mad throws The Cheat above him.}''

'''THE CHEAT:''' Meeeeeeeeeehhhhh!

''{The Cheat flies in the sky. Eventually, he explodes and The Cheat-shaped fireworks appear. Cut back to Homestar, Bubs, and Coach Z, now watching the fireworks.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER, BUBS:''' Oooooh! Ahhhhhh!

'''COACH Z:''' It's dazzle-mazing!!

'''CARDBOARD MARZIPAN:''' I think fireworks promote violence.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{pauses, then glares at Cardboard Marzipan}'' Shut up, Marzipan.

''{A firework explodes and shows "Happy Fireworks!" The Cheat crashes into the ground. His head has exploded. After a little while, Cardboard Marzipan leans in.}''

'''CARDBOARD MARZIPAN:''' Oh, The Cheat, are you okay? Do you want to go on a secret hot date?

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
*Strong Bad saying "Pull" to signal Strong Mad to throw The Cheat is a reference to [[Wikipedia:trap shooting|trap shooting]], where one says "Pull" to signal that the clay pigeon should be thrown.

===Trivia===
*This toon was released on the [[Wikipedia:Independence Day (United States)|Fourth of July]] which is marked by fireworks displays and other festivities.
*The loading screen for this toon displays "[[Irregular Loading Screens|Loafing...]]" instead of "Loading...".
*"90 degrees or higher" and "11.9 FL OZ" are written on the bottom of the label of Bubs's Not so Cold One, but zooming in causes the text to disappear.
*The cardboard box used to make Cardboard Marzipan had "[[:Image:cardboard marzipan stencil.png|(F)RAGILE]]" stenciled across its top before Homestar drew Marzipan on it, as well as "DON'T BEND" stenciled across the bottom.
*The cans of WB-46 have the slogan "Stops the Squeaks! Gets some jobs DONE! Fuh-lamable." written on them.
*The can of gas that was next to Strong Bad, Strong Mad, and The Cheat is labeled "THE GAS".
*"Dazzle-mazing" is a [[portmanteau]], albeit one that is less subtle than most of [[Strong Bad Email|Strong Bad]]'s.

===Inside References===
*Homestar's drawing of [[Marzipan]] looks very similar to The Cheat's drawing of her in [[mile]].
*Bubs has a [[Cold One|Not so Cold One]] bottle and Coach Z has a can of [[Cold One#Coldson Lite|Coldson Lite]].
*The burnt out matches next to Strong Mad's "Fireworks" are the same kind as in [[The Luau]].
*The [[batteries]] are the same kind as in [[Meet Marshie]].
*The cooler originally from [[labor day]] also appears in one scene.
*This is another instance of [[The Cheat's Head Exploding]].
*Strong Bad went straight to plan [[G]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:M-80 (explosive)|M-80]]s are a class of large firecrackers originally developed by the United States military to simulate the sound of gunfire, but then sold to the public as fireworks. M-80s are sometimes known as "quarter sticks of dynamite".
*The cans of WB-46 are a spoof of [[Wikipedia:WD-40|WD-40]], an industrial lubricant.

*Some of the batteries Strong Mad used to make fireworks are black with copper colored tops, the classic design of [[Wikipedia:Duracell|Duracell]], while others are silver with black tops, the design used by [[Wikipedia:Energizer Holdings|Energizer]].

===Fast Forward===
*Marzipan and The Cheat go on a hot date in [[Date Nite]], complete with more fireworks.
*In [[Quality Time]], Marzipan makes herself a [[Cardboard Homestar]] to go out with.

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

'''MATT:''' I did most of this while you was gone, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' That's right! Look at, uh, Bubs looks a little dumpy when he's sitting down.

'''MATT:''' He does look— It's not a very flattering position for him to sit in.

'''MIKE:''' Doesn't look very comfortable either. ''{pause}'' So, Marzipan ''was'' out of town, uh, all summer, that summer, working on a— she was in North Carolina.

'''MATT:''' Working on millionaire gadabout Craig Zobel's movie.

'''MIKE:''' That's right.

'''MATT:''' Homestar does a really good impression of how Marzipan would act, like... she contradicts him a lot.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' You'd think that if he was making up his—

'''MATT:''' She ''corrects'' him.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Cardboard Marzipan is smarter than Homestar even though Homestar is controlling.

'''MATT:''' ''{chuckles}'' It's good, he's doing a really great impression. He knows how the dynamic works between them and... "The Gas." That's what that gas can says. This is good; we should try this. I wanna tape some batteries to some sticks and try and light them on fire. ''{pause}'' Uh oh! The Cheat is Plan "g", Mike.

'''MIKE:''' He's also Istanbul, ''{Matt laughs}'' and what else was he in the Christmas Pageant?

'''MATT:''' The Popular Vote?

'''MIKE:''' Oh, the Popular Vote, yeah.

'''MATT:''' This is another example of The Cheat— apparently you don't have to— to give him Pop Rocks and Coke—

'''MIKE:''' —to make him explode.

'''MATT:''' You can just shake him up. ''{chuckles}'' And what's the other one? The, uh, the Compy makes him explode at some point, right? ...Homestar spitting Teddy Grahams? I don't remember how that works.

'''MIKE:''' He explodes a lot.

''{The Cheat crash lands.}''

'''MATT:''' Oh! ...And now Marzipan is ''hitting'' on The Cheat. ''{laughing}'' Illicit.

=== Fun Facts ===
*"[[Craig Zobel]]'s movie" is ''[[The Brothers Chaps' Side Projects#Film|The Great World of Sound]]'', which Missy Palmer produced.
*The instances of [[The Cheat's Head Exploding]] that Matt refers to include [[The House That Gave Sucky Treats]] ("You don't have to give him Pop Rocks and Coke...") and [[couch patch]] ("The Compy makes him explode at some point, right?")
*The alternate identities described for The Cheat are [[The Popular Vote]] from [[A Decemberween Pageant]], and [[Istanbul]] from [[dangeresque 3]].

Kick the Can

Gus — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 02:17:46 GMT

{{about|short}} {{for|[[running gag]]|Kicking a Can}}
[[Image:kickthecan.png|thumb|right|220px|Old-Timey "fun" for "kids"]]

'''Kick the Can''' is a series of [[Old-Timey]] toons in which The Homestar Runner kicks his [[Can of Water Soup|soup can]] along the ground, with bizarre results. Each of the 15 different versions of this cartoon has a different ending.

According to the DVD Commentary, these toons were created shortly after the website was put up in early 2000. [[Mike Chapman]] claimed that a few of the short toons were created approximately a year later after an initial ten were created.

'''Cast (in order of appearance):''' {{Film|The Homestar Runner}}, {{Film|Old-Timey Strong Bad}}

'''Places:''' [[The Old Movie Reel Room]], [[The Field]] (Old-Timey)

'''Date:''' 2000

'''Running Time:''' 0:22 (each) / 5:30 (total)

'''Page Title:''' old

{{dvd|Everything Else, Volume 1}}

== Transcript ==
For each stack of film reels, number 1 is the reel on top of the stack, 2 is the one below it, and so on.

The song [[wikipedia:The Entertainer (rag)|''The Entertainer'']] plays throughout each of the toons, unless you're watching the [[#DVD Version|DVD version]]. Each one starts out the same way, with the exception of [[#Kick that Can|Kick that Can]]. There's a countdown and then a title screen that reads:

<blockquote style="font-style:italic">
The Homestar Runner In A "Cartoon" for Kids
'Kick the Can' copyright 1933 Free Country USA
</blockquote>

Then the cartoon starts, with The Homestar Runner kicking a soup can along the ground. Then he stops...and what happens from there depends on which film reel you clicked.

===Left Stack===
#His head pops off, and he kicks the can up into his body. His head comes back down and squashes his body so that he's just his head and legs. He kicks his legs about frantically.
#His head pops off, and he kicks the can up into his body. His head comes back down and disappears into his body, and a big can pops up in where his head should be.
#His head pops off, and he kicks the can up into his body. His head lands on his body and then he shoots fire from his mouth.
#His head pops off, and he kicks the can up into his body. His head lands on his body, and then his legs bend backwards.
#He kicks the can into the chimney of a nearby factory. He runs into and through the factory, and then pops up outside with the can in his mouth.

===Stack of 2===
#He gets hit in the back of the head with a cinder block, falling down with his head propped up on the can. He catches the block on his foot and then falls asleep.
#A huge can comes up from behind and kicks Homestar away, then slides up next to the small can Homestar was kicking.

===Tall Stack (Back Right)===
#His head hinges backwards, and he kicks the can up into his body again. His body then swings upwards and reattaches to his head, and he flies offscreen.
#He kicks the can and it bounces all around the screen, landing in his mouth. The star on his shirt burns away and is replaced with "herbert hoover?"
#Old-Timey Strong Bad pops out of the can, and then his head disappears. The Homestar Runner jumps into the can, which Strong Bad puts in place of his head.
#He stands atop the can on one foot. Then, at the very end, his body starts spinning around like a pinwheel.
#This one is titled "'Kick that Can'" instead of "'Kick the Can'". The can spins around on the ground after Homestar stops. He looks down at it, and then a pile of bricks falls on him. The can pops out and continues spinning.

===Short Stack (Front Right)===
#His head pops off and he kicks the can up into his body. When his head comes back down, the can pops out his rear end. He looks at it and runs away.
#His head pops off and he kicks the can up into his body. It lands upside down, and a face appears on his neck and says "gosh!"
#He kicks the can into his mouth. His body unhinges from his head and a bunch of cans fall out. His body reattaches, and then rockets away.

== Fun Facts ==
===Trivia===
*If you view the [[HR:menuswfs/menu old.swf|preview]] for Kick the Can on the [[TV Time Toons Menu]], The Homestar Runner's body sinks into his legs and his head sinks into his body. Then his head and legs sprout out of the can.
*There was a time in the past, when the [[Telebision toons menu]] was still in use, that all toons on the site were watched through the telebision. This "toon within menu" idea is clearly parodied with the projector screen and clickable toons.

===Remarks===
*The very bottom reel in the Tall Stack is not clickable.

===Goofs===
*Short Stack is partially underneath the last clickable reel in the Tall Stack.
*None of the cartoons in the tall stack have the Old-Timey visual scratch effect applied.
*Along the upper right edge of the white part of the screen is an area of black that makes it appear as if the cartoon has a shadow.
*In Tall Stack, Reel Three, a shadow remains on the ground where the soup can stood after Old-Timey Strong Bad takes it and puts it on his head.

===Real-World References===
*Tall Stack, Reel Two ends with "[[Wikipedia:Herbert Hoover|herbert hoover]]?" on The Homestar Runner's shirt. Hoover's presidency ended in 1933, the "year" of this toon.
*Stack of Two, Reel One (falls asleep) shows Homestar getting hit in the head with a brick and then falling asleep. This is a reference to the old comic [[Wikipedia:Krazy Kat|"Krazy Kat,"]] in which Ignatz the Mouse was always clobbering Krazy Kat upside the head with bricks.
*The music is [http://www.mutopiaproject.org/cgibin/piece-info.cgi?id=263 "The Entertainer"], written by [[Wikipedia:Scott Joplin|Scott Joplin]] in 1902.

===Fast-Forward===
*The can is in Bubs's picture in the [[Yearbook Character Page]].

== DVD Version ==
*The music is an edited version of the music heard in [[Parsnips A-Plenty]] instead of ''The Entertainer''.
*All of the versions of the cartoon play one after another.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
*In the cartoon where a huge can comes up from behind and kicks Homestar away, a Microsoft Windows XP 'browse' sound can be heard when the title 'Kick the can' is shown.
*The cartoons are shown in fullscreen, as opposed to being shown in The Old Movie Reel Room.

===Commentary Transcript===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[The Homestar Runner]], [[Old-Timey Strong Bad]], [[Sickly Sam]], [[Old-Timey Bubs]], and [[Matt Chapman]])

'''MIKE:''' Hey hey!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Why hello.

'''MIKE:''' Old-Timey Homestar, my favorite!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' It is— Am I your flavorite, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. Uh, so tell me about um, how old you were when you filmed these 72 years ago.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, I was getting on in years.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. So what about now?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' My— my friend of years, my friend of tears.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' So we're just going to watch all these "Kick the Can" shorts run back to back. We'll have to watch this little countdown every time and the title sequence.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' That's fantastic.

'''MIKE:''' That's gonna be fun. That's gonna be the majority of this... is just us watching the title and countdown.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay Mike, whatever you say.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Let's see what happens here!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I lost my marbles.

'''MIKE:''' Oh! Can you still breathe fire there?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{Makes a "froosh" sound, imitating fire}''

'''MIKE:''' Oh! Oh! It's hot in here!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well, don't—

'''MIKE:''' You just burned the microphone!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Don't get me goin'! I'll rattle you down!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Um... so I don't really know what else to talk about with you, Old-Timey Homestar, so I'm just gonna start asking you questions about your family.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Okay then.

'''MIKE:''' Uh, tell me about your sister.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' No..?

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Uh, all right. We'll— ''{counting with the countdown}'' 5, 4, 3, 2. Okay.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All these am-in-ations was filmed in the factory/circus district.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' That's all there is there, huh? Factories and circus tents.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Back in those days that's all we had.

'''MIKE:''' What happens here? Oh! ''{barks}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I call that the Shamanga Shimmy.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' So these were—

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' From Spokane.

'''MIKE:''' These were done in two batches. I think, uh... there were maybe nine of 'em done and then probably— maybe a year later, I made another batch.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I once knew a hobo called Two Batches.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Yes.

'''MIKE:''' What hap— What ever became of him?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' He got run o'er by a train.

'''MIKE:''' Run o'er? That doesn't... ''{laughing}'' That seems like a little bit further back, uh, talking than, uh... than you would normally be.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Well—

'''MIKE:''' Like maybe from the 1700s instead of the 1930s?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Sometimes I—

'''MIKE:''' Oooh!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Oh, monster sup.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' I wonder how many more of these things we've got, Old-Timey Homestar.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I sure hope it ends soon, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' This—

'''MIKE:''' The idea was that uh, listening to this commentary might make this more fun to watch than, you know, just having to sit there and listen to this stupid song over and over again.

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' I think it's a horrible failure.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Yeah, I don't think we're do— we're cuttin' it. You and I's chemistry isn't quite what I thought it—

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Maybe I can remedy the situation!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, great!

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes!

'''MIKE:''' Old-Timey Strong Bad.

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes, you storefellow!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' I'm a storefellow. All right. Well, I think you appear—

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Why am I not in one of these cra-toons!

'''MIKE:''' I thought you did appear in one, but maybe... maybe not.

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' You lie! You are lying!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Is that— Uh, is that your factory?

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' That's my factory and my circus. My circus tent!

'''MIKE:''' What kind of acts did you perform in the circus?

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' We had nothing but freaks!

''{Mike laughs}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' All sort of two-legged ''{laughs, voice becomes more like Matt's for a moment}'' women!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Two-legged women. Those are—

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes!

'''MIKE:''' —quite an oddity.

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Yes! And a ''{laughing}'' bearded fellow!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Wow, that's uh... gosh!

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' ''{laughing}'' He was in the freak show too!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, he should be. I wonder how many more we got.

'''SICKLY SAM:''' I hope you shoot me in the face.

'''MIKE:''' Sickly Sam. Matt! Please just come out of— come out of hiding! I need— I need help. I'm struggling. I'm drowning here doing these "Kick the Can" commentaries.

'''OLD-TIMEY BUBS:''' Maybe I can help! ''{Makes the sound when Sickly Sam disappears in a puff of smoke.}''

'''MIKE:''' Disappear.

'''MATT:''' Oh boy, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' How many— This could be it. Maybe it's over. ''{The countdown begins again.}'' Uh, no, we got—

'''MATT:''' It's not over.

'''MIKE:''' —at least one more. At least one more. Uh, maybe one of 'em— Yeah, this is the one that's called "Kick ''that'' Can."

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Instead of "Kick the Can."

'''MATT:''' This was— Uh, they did some test marketing and "Kick the Can" just wasn't going over well with kids... so they crushed Homestar Runner with bricks.

'''MIKE:''' Maybe it's over.

'''MATT:''' ''{lightly}'' Crunk.

'''MIKE:''' Maybe it's over.

''{both groan as countdown begins again}''

'''MATT:''' 5, 4, 3, 2, ''1'', Mike!

'''MIKE:''' There's one where he says something about Herbert Hoover. ''{laughs}'' I haven't been watching them, so I—

'''MATT:''' Yeah. I didn't watch a single one yet.

'''MIKE:''' I don't know if that's happened yet. Let's see. He stands on it.

'''MATT:''' Ooh!

'''MIKE:''' He spins!

'''MATT:''' That's a nice move!

'''MIKE:''' He spins!

'''MATT:''' No he doesn't spin.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah he does. ''{as The Homestar Runner begins to spin on top of the can}'' Ah! He spins.

'''MATT:''' I forgot!

'''MIKE:''' Uh, maybe—

'''MATT:''' He had— He showed some serious poise in that one.

'''MIKE:''' All right, I think this is Herbert Hoover. And I think this is gonna be— See ya Willy.

'''MATT:''' Willy's takin' off you guys.

'''MIKE:''' Willy's leavin'. Um...

'''MATT:''' Come on, Herbert Hoover. Where are you at?

'''MIKE:''' So these were pretty early though. These were—

'''MATT:''' Yeah, we made these very early.

'''MIKE:''' —within the first—

'''MATT:''' ''{As Old-Timey Strong Bad appears}'' Oh! We were all wrong!

'''MIKE:''' What— Where is he now?

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' What happened to my website?!

'''MIKE:''' Oh.

'''MATT:''' Okay.

'''MIKE:''' I think—

'''MATT:''' I'm trying to wind down at the end of each one in case it's the last one. We have no idea how many we made.

'''MIKE:''' But I think these were done within the first... month or so of the website?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, we— we quickly latched on to making a fake, uh, mythology behind our cartoons.

'''MIKE:''' There's "herbert hoover".

'''MATT:''' Oh!

'''MIKE:''' This has got to be the last one. Bye guys!

'''MATT:''' Thanks! Taste? ''{makes Sickly Sam's "disappearing" noise}''

''{both groan as the countdown begins again}''

'''MATT:''' I was trying to end it with a "paf". ''{makes noise again}'' Um...

'''MIKE:''' So the "'cartoon' for kids" in quotes, you know—

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' —misused quotes.

'''MATT:''' ''{hastily}'' Oh! There was a— Crap! There's a... some moving company or something and it says, like, "We're 'glad you called'" and "glad you called" is in quotes. ''{makes Sickly Sam's "disappearing" noise, gets cut off}''

==Fan music video==
Does anyone know where I can find that fan music video for Strong Sad's line? I always liked it. --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 04:20, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

:I know where you can find it. It's called "Strong Bad Rocks Out" by [[The Skate Party]]. You can listen to it (or download it) using a link on my forum. Here's the URL: [http://www.strongfans.com/portal/show_entry.asp?TYP=2&EntryID=169] Enjoy! {{User:The Paper/sig}} 14:43, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

::Or go here- http://newgrounds.com/portal/view/187036. [[User:Ookelaylay|Ookelaylay]] 20:59, 12 Aug 2005 (UTC)

==The tab==
the tab has 3-type-D animation, ie, when you pull it, it comes up horizontal, when its at rest its at a diagonal angle. {{User:Csours/sig}} 09:07, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

== Is That A Cold One? ==

i always thought that the "dink" heard during strong bads say was a cold one bottle cap coming off. and i still think it is. should i put this up in stuff? -{{User:Homsar7/sig}}
:I think it's pretty hard to say what it is, as there's no visual to match it to. Anything at all is pretty much speculation. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==Name Change==
This game is now called "Who said what?" I think it's because of the copyright issue thing. - {{User:The Joe/sig}} 21:42, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
:Noted and moved. Thanks for the update! --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 21:44, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
::Is it worth noting somewhere in the article the reason for the name change? {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 00:21, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
:::Doubtful. That's not really part of the encyclopedic significance. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 00:24, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
::::I think it's an important part of the game's history. But we should wait how everything turns out before we add it.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 00:29, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
:::::Yeah. When did it change? Boy, this is getting to be an interesting week. --[[User:Jnelson09|Jnelson09]] 22:40, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
::::::Um, why won't we note the name change? If we aren't sure of the reason why the name was changed, we don't have to jump to conclusions, we could just say something like ''"This game's title was '(crud, I forgot the original title!)' when it was first released. It was changed to 'Who Said What Now?' in early 2007."'' And moreover, why is the page protected now? — {{User:SamFisher1022/sig}} 17:27, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
:::::::It's highly likely Mattel, who made the toy the old game made fun of, tried to sue them. That's why the page is locked with no mention of the original name. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 17:30, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

==Picture==
Now that the game has been changed, is it permissible to put a picture of the new game up? {{User:Geshmalderborgen/sig}} 22:04, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
:I should think so, yes. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 22:11, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

== Locked? ==

Somehow I ended up logged out, and when I noticed this page on RecentChanges, I noticed it was locked. The only explanation given is that it was "at the request of [[Karen Wagner]]"... I suppose, looking at the above comments, I might have a guess why it was locked (copyright issues?), but that said, how accurate is my guess? And does it still need to be locked? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 23:49, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
:Also, the image was removed per KW (according to the history) and now has been restored. a) are we allowed to do this and b) can someone please explain what's going on? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 05:07, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
::Well, it's a new image. Different image. But I should probably check first... *sweatdrop* I've commented it out for now, until I get an okay... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 05:13, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Is it still appropriate for this page to be locked?{{User:Bryanc/sig}} 16:06, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
:It probably doesn't need to be locked for too much longer, but we're trying to tread through this issue carefully, so hold on a little longer... {{User:Trey56/sig}} 16:19, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Is there a particular reason long-time members are locked as well? I've seen quite a few Wikipedia pages, such as [[Wikipedia:High School Musical]], which were locked only to nonmembers and newbies. If we can lock it for those people only I have an idea for a picture to use in the template. (I know this should go in its own talk page but I didn't know what to call the template) [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 03:27, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
:We don't need a semi-protected template, thanks. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:32, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

i need to add a "view the old version" link (to spin and say) [[User:slipknot6477]]
:No, we're not going to do that. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:17, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
why not?
:For reasons that are already listed on this page in various threads. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:26, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

::In other words, [[looking old|legal reasons]] not to be discussed at the current time. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 23:28, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

== Request for article link change ==

The line ''The game is a parody of Mattel's "See 'n Say."'' should, I think, instead of linking to Mattel's wiki entry, should more appropriately link to the [[Wikipedia:See 'n Say|See 'n Say]] page. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 11:41, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
:Done. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 12:17, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
::Cool, thanks! Also, I don't mean to be knit picker, but I was hoping that the Mattel link would go away or look a bit better, since having the word be half link/half text doesn't look as pleasing as if it looked like: [[Wikipedia:Mattel|Mattel's]]. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 05:24, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
::That is odd. Isn't the appended bit normally swallowed into the link, or is that only for inside links? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 10:06, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
:::Mine swallows both internal and external links, except any with an "'s". Then it just goes '''Blue Words Here'''<nowiki>'s</nowiki>. Dunno why. *shrugs* --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 18:42, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
::::My guess is that extra characters are automatically apparended to the link when they are only letters. My guess is that the apostrophe breaks that "autolink". I personally don't like that feature and opt to link it myself. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 03:11, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
:::::But don't. The link is to the noun, not the possessive, and shouldn't be linked as though it were. Also, we should avoid piped links when possible. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:10, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
::::::True. The link is a noun and not the possessive, but it just looks soooo much prettier! Lol. And we rename things all the time! Oh is that what you mean by avoiding piped links when possible? But I like piped links! They're my frieeend! ... *awkward silence* Right. Anyway, I just think form over function might be a nice idea in this very... isolated... case. Yeah. Isolated. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 02:22, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

== Add some links ==

Would it be appropiate to add links to the original version? I couldn't add them myself because the edit buttons appear to be hidden.
:I don't think we should. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 00:23, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
::If anything, we should put it on [[Secret Pages]], but only after this page and the other pages involving the toy are unprotected, and the copyright issue is resolved {{User:Dr._Clash/sig}} 00:27, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
:::I think we should pretend "Sp*n 'N S*y" never existed and it has always been Who Said What?. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 00:29, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
::::I concur. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 00:31, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Well, there are places where the forbidden name is used, such as the [[Third Games Menu]] and [[Why Come Only One Girl?]]. Also the old [[Handheld Games Menu]] mirrors. I say that we don't do anything more until we get the Chapmans' ok. - {{User:Dr._Clash/sig}} 00:42, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
:That is likely for the best. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:43, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
How can [[Secret Pages]] and [[Astro-Lite 2600]] include links to Lite Brite if it is a registered trademark of Hasbro? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 15:30, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

::That issue hasn't yet surfaced as a problem (and hopefully never will). {{User:Trey56/sig}} 15:59, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Is it possible for us to pretend this game was always this state without creating the impression Kidelectrix predates Videlectrix? [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 19:59, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, you're doing a damn good job of erasing The Game That Apparently Must Not Be Named from history, let me say. I came across this page and thought, "Ah, it's been changed", but then found no reference to [that game]. I know how obsessive you fanboys are at documenting every little thing about Homestar Runner, so I frantically searched for any reference at all to [that game] on the wiki, but found none, and thought to myself, "Have I gone mad? Did I just imagine [that game]? Why on earth isn't there a reference to it?" Nothing made sense until I found this talk page, from which the situation can be inferred.

Pandering to the dictates of the Chaps aside, I don't see why there shouldn't be a reference to it on this site. It isn't affiliated to homestarrunner.com, so there can't be any ramifications, can there? Well, there's my bit. Thanks for causing so much confusion. --[[User:84.67.250.92|84.67.250.92]] 22:16, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
:Hey, no problem. Unfortunately, it's not going to change anytime soon, at least not until the dust finally settles. You may think we're pandering fanboys—and that's fine, you can think that if you want—but really we're being respectful of them and their request. Also, I think it shows poor discretion if one's bottom line in making decisions is "Meh, what's the worst that can happen?". In cases like that, it's almost always better not to find out. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:58, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
::Wait, why is this an issue? Is it because of the copyright on the original errm... thing by mattel? I got lost. Suddenly everyone's acting like we need to clean up after a murder. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 23:07, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
:::The nature of the issue is such that we won't be discussing it at present; however, in due time we will explain the full reasoning behind everything. I know it's frustrating, but we are asking for your patience for a while longer. Thanks for your cooperation. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 23:49, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

:::::If I may chip in my thoughts on this, to avoid confusion (i.e. the aformentioned "Kidelectrix predates Videlectrix!?!" thing), whenever it is deemed we can edit this again, we could simply say "This game is an edited version of an older game, with Homsar's quote and the Kidelectrix name added" or something--we can be ambiguous and not say anything about the older game's content, just say that this one is a new version of an older game. [[User:Evan|Evan]] 00:05, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
::::::Here's my two cents: Evan's plan is a good one for now, but in the future, should there ever be a resolution, we can give a full explanation as to what happened to the (BLEEEEEEEEP). --[[User:Jnelson09|Jnelson09]] 04:17, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::::Are you referring to something like, "Homsar's quote and the Kidelectrix label were added later," because that sounds good to me. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 21:47, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
::::::::Maybe we could also treat the Kidelectrix label the way we treat the changes of the secret phrases from [[Homestar Talker]] and the music from [[Dancin' Bubs]]. [[User:Bad Bad Guy|Bad Bad Guy]] 17:09, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

== About a Fun Fact ==

I don't like the word "parody". Please change the text "This game is a '''parody''' of Mattel's See 'n' Say" to something else. Thank you. Remember: YOU made me hate this word. {{unsigned|76.184.188.124|17:32, 8 March 2007 (UTC)}}
:Look for a second at the [[ahd:61/94/P0079400.html|definition]] of the word, the relevant part of which I will highlight here: "An artistic work that imitates the characteristic style of another work for comic effect." That is ''exactly'' what this game is. But never mind that. TBC, via their representative, ''specifically'' asked us to use that word. It stays. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 18:00, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

== They're s'posed to what? ==

:Sure, we can do as we please. And it pleases us to support the creators of our favourite online cartoon. A no-brainer, if you will. Because we can, not because it's outside our control. The ''circumstances'' are outside our control.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 03:43, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

== In My Experience ==

A lot of users seem very confused by the changes in this toon and their effect on the wiki. Let me see if I can help. '''PLEASE NOTE:''' I am not an administrator of this site, and I am not informed on any private communications from Harmless Junk. I'm just relating my personal experience, and you can draw whatever connections you think are appropriate. It's probably unproductive to try to find out exactly how solid those connections are.

I used to work for a software company that published large clip art collections. The collections were so large, and the sources so varied (and many overseas) that it was inevitable that now and then something would creep in that infringed on somebody else's rights. A little education: This was almost always a ''trademark'' infringement, not a ''copyright'' infringement. They are two very different things which you can research on your own time. Possibly relevant here is that trademarks are much more nebulous, and determining trademark infringement can often be very subjective and depend on what a judge had for breakfast.

When this happened, and it bothered the owner of a trademark, we would usually get a "cease and desist" letter asking nicely if we could either remove or alter the offending images. Part of my job was keeping track of who had contacted us, the details of what they thought infringed, and what images probably bothered them. That second part could be very, ''very'' nitpicky, such as Carnival Cruises claiming that putting little "wings" on the sides of a ship's smokestack infringed on their marks, or Dairy Queen claiming that a soft serve cone became a trademark Dairy Queen cone the moment the ice cream had a curl at the top. (And don't get me started on the Red Cross.)

Always, to my knowledge, these issues were resolved after one or two letters from the owner and some annoying editing work on our part. Never litigation. However, the threat was always there. If we missed a few generic cars that looked a little too much like Beetles in our many thousands of car images, and Volkswagen felt like being jerks about it, they could easily have dragged us into court and gotten a nice chunk of damages out of our revenue.

If a proceeding like that took place, the plaintiffs would be able to subpoena any of our internal documents and records that they could convince a judge were at all pertinent to the suit. My emails to my supervisor, for example. Of course, if there were documents ''outside'' our company that were also pertinent, they could subpoena those too. Like if some fan website had user posts pointing out that "Car 236 looks just like a '63 Beetle convertible!" Due to the very nature of trademarks, that's actually a particularly damning piece of evidence, because it proves that at least one member of the consuming public associated the non-Volkswagen-created image with Volkswagen. Unlike copyrights, perception is often more important than intent in determining trademark infringement, which is what makes it so scary. Get enough of that to indicate consensus, and you've basically lost any possibility of arguing that there's no infringement.

For these reasons, the company lawyer was a paranoid ogre about what we could and could not say in writing about these issues. If I had to email someone to discuss a specific complaint or possible infringement, I had to use codewords. ("Do you think the fenders on that, um, banana are too round?") When you're a defendant, less paper trail is always better. No matter how innocent you may think it is. You don't want the plaintiff to have ''anything'' they can hold up and say, "Here's the proof they knew there was a specific problem, and yet here it still is in their next release."

Hope that helps anyone understand anything. I can tell you I found it confusing and irritating until I got used to it myself.

--[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 19:53, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

::With all that in mind, it really makes me wonder why HRWiki insists on hosting the old round-fendered banana menu which actually has the trademarked phrase spelled out right in it. Without leaving any paper trail, I'll just say: I'm looking right at the offending text in a Flash file hosted on hrwiki.org right now. Someone took the trouble to prevent that menu from continuing to link to the copy of the offending Handheld Game which inexplicably still lives on www.homestarrunner.com, but, that wasa half-measure at best. Naturally, hrwiki has no control over what www.homestarrunner.com still has "hidden" on their webhost. But hrwiki.org is making an awful lot of noise that sounds like "We can NOT say any of that!" while serving the exact thing that everybody says can't be said. [[User:198.49.180.40|198.49.180.40]] 00:01, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
:::The old name is not a secret. It's Spin 'n Say. It's mentioned several times on this page. The old Flash file reflects the fact that the game used to have a different name. Big deal. We don't point to the old file of the game, nor do we give instructions on how to find it; thus, it's concealed from the general public ''enough'' not to worry about, even if technically it can be found if one knows exactly where to look. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:23, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

::::Right. Another point to keep in mind about trademarks is that the watchdogs in the big corporate legal departments bark ''a lot'', but actual bites are not as common. The barking is due to another little quirk of trademark law, which is that you can actually lose the exclusive right to your trademark—even a registered one—by not using it or not defending it against infringement. A trademark isn't the sort of thing you either have or you don't. It can be strong or weak, and have varying amounts of influence beyond its typical market, depending mostly upon how well-recognized and well-associated it is. Ignoring misuses of your trademark can lead to it being "watered down". Any marketing exec will tell you that strong brand recognition is one of the most important factors in commercial success, so this is why owners of brand names that are under constant threat of being "genericized", like Kleenex and Band-Aid, go so far as to take out ads in writers' trade magazines, educating the readers that these are in fact registered trademarks and not words to be thrown around willy-nilly, thank you very much.

::::So C & D letters are a dime a dozen. You'd be a fool to ignore one, but unless your infringement is truly egregious, your chances of being sued are slim for a variety of reasons. Lawsuits are outrageously expensive and very unpredictable; most owners won't take that gamble unless there's a lot at stake. A lot more than a silly little web toon, for example. Another reason is that suits against offenders who aren't visibly turning a profit off the infringement have a tendency to backfire in a publicity sense. A good example is the [[Wikipedia:Emblems of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement#Johnson & Johnson's lawsuit against the American Red Cross about the emblem|recent suit]] that Johnson & Johnson filed against the American Red Cross over the use of their logo on first aid kits. Of course it will be hard for J & J not to look like a bad guy in that, but ironically, as I hinted above, the Red Cross was one of the firms that had sent my company letters. (And by far the biggest pain in the twees to comply with. Those freakin' crosses were ''everywhere''!) I hear their C & D factory is rather busy in general.

::::So to actually attempt to relate this to the matter at hand, I would ''guess'' that Mattel has no intention of taking Harmless Junk to court, and no particular interest in actually obliterating the original game. They get to satisfy the motions they have to go through, and do it quietly, if it's just removed from general public view and replaced with a new version with minimal fuss.
::::--[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 03:31, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

:::::Another thing to note about why this might be any kind of deal re: trademarks: the reason any company will do this over a trademark is because unlike copyrights, a trademark is only as good as the effort you put into defending it. If for some reason, someone else started using that trademarked name and Mattel had taken them to court, they could point to the game here and say "Look, these guys didn't care enough about their trademark to enforce it here, so they have given up rights to claim it," and there's a chance a judge would agree. So, simply to cover ''their'' butts as well, Mattel's gotta take care of their own business on this. It's the reason that Kleenex and Xerox make such a fuss about their names becoming genericized, because if they let such things go without challenge they could lose the ability to defend their trademarks against someone making a more serious effort to infringe on their trademark.--[[User:Big Dog|Big Dog]] 06:37, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::Didn't even realized you'd already covered that. That will teach me to skim talk pages.--[[User:Big Dog|Big Dog]] 06:37, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::Here's two counterargument to all of this: Spin n' Say was a ''parody.'' Last I checked, ''parodies'' have ALWAYS been defended as fair use. Secondly, if I recall, there was an episode of Family Guy which had a parody of the same toy. If they didn't get sued, well, then I'm skeptical about what the intent truly is. You see, Family Guy is produced by a Hollywood company which is much more powerful and has very good (in skill, not as in good guys) lawyers and a large staff, whereas H*R is produced by all of five people and is produced independently, and thus Harmless Junk probably doesn't have very good lawyers. And if the TBC wanted to avoid a trademark suit, they could state "we're not affiliated with Mattel" or something like that so as to not confuse people. If you weren't allowed to talk about something in your creative works that's already been copyrighted or trademarked, it would violate free speech, which in my opinion is a much more important right than copyright. The only lesson we can learn from all this is that the world is run by people with a lot of money and very few morals. --[[User:Crazyswordsman|Crazyswordsman]] 02:47, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Strong Bad considers redesigning the [[No Loafing Sign|"No Loafing" sign]] and painting his computer room.

'''Places:''' [[Computer Room]], [[The Cheat's Computer Room]], [[Strong Bad's Laundry Room]]

{{Comp|Lappy 486}}

'''Date:''' Monday, July 10, 2006

'''Running Time:''' 3:46

{{dvd|strongbad_email.exe Disc Five}}

==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">

dude i am getting bored of the "no loafing" sign and blue 
paint.

</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 three 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, [[Blood|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:''' ''{voiceover}'' ...without leaving the house!

''{Strong Bad leans back against the wall and sinks into the sitting position.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 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!

==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|Green screens]] are used in film and television 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'' or ''color-seperation overlay'', and can actually be done with any color, though blue and green are the most widely-used 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)''.
*A cafetorium is a room used as both a cafeteria and an auditorium and often associated with older school buildings without sufficient room to have two separate areas.

===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]]", which is the game Strong Bad plays on the greenscreen-painted wall.
*On the dryer, one knob reads, "Start"; the other has three settings: "Dry", "Real Dry", and "High & Dry".

===Remarks===
*Strong Bad is able to fluently type the word "redesign" with only his left hand, although it uses letters from both sides of the keyboard.
*Strong Bad's "Squish it, skew it, turn it all around" song is the same tune as the "Email is nice, email is twice" song at the beginning of the email.
*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.
*When Strong Bad is playing Color Wheel Roulette, the No Loafing sign only cycles through five color schemes.
*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. The same goes for the battling claymation and being able to frolic through the bread aisle.
*On the scrolling LED No Loafing Sign, it is possible to see that the glowing lights do not line 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.
*None of the No Loafing signs are visible in the greenscreen scenes. In the real world, any of these signs would appear over the video being shown on the greenscreen.
*When Strong Bad says "But I does!", his mouth is round at the word "does", which is usually used only with words with an "ooh" sound.
*When Strong Bad is shown next to the green screen, his eyes disappear, yet his eyes are a darker shade of green than the screen.

===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 music that plays briefly in the background when Strong Bad starts "Color Wheel Roulette" is from [[The Show]], as heard on [[Main Page 19]].
*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".
*The explosion of the sundae looks very similar to the 'poofing' of Strong Bad's pants in [[senior prom]], Pom Pom's smoke bomb in [[Summer Short Shorts]], and the shell explosions in [[Let us give TANKS!]].


===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]].
*Strong Bad's remark about dipping the sign in [[Wikipedia:Acrylic glass|molten plexiglass]] to "give it that 'children under 3 are sure to choke on it' goodness" is a reference to a common choking hazard warning seen on most plastic products.
*"Redesigning SBemails" at the end is a reference to the many house redesign shows on channels such as [[Wikipedia:HGTV|HGTV]].
**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]] 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.
*The "big as hams" reference goes back to before [[Wikipedia:David Letterman|David Letterman]] made it big. He once lost a job as a weather man on local news for stating: "... and there are hail stones the size of canned hams out there!"

==Pretend Reference??==
Strong Bad ordering a "Chateau Pretend" may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:François-René de Chateaubriand|François-René de Chateaubriand]], a French author/political figure from the 18-19th century. Strong bad uses the name in relation to food, and Chateaubriand was known for involvement in culinary arts.
:I think you're making the reference unnecessarily complicated. The way I see it, Chateau Pretend is a pretend wine. {{User:Kahteh/sig}} 11:06, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
::Lies. All lies. Clearly I'm the only one who knows how it all went down. Cast your mind back to [[car]], when Homestar gave a shout-out to Lemon Pretend. Whilst we can safely assume that within the fictional universe of Free Country, USA, Lemon Pretend is a type of pie, a search on Google turns back no recipies or even references to the existence of a Lemon Pretend pie (outside of the Homestar Runner reference, of course). It is through this method that I have come to the conclusion that the reference here is not a Real-World one, but one of the Inside demographic, and, as such, refers to the [[Strong Bad Email]] that usually goes by the name of "car". Thank you for your time. --[[User:Ppk01|Ppk01]] 12:27, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
:::Um... I'm not all that convinced that having the word 'Pretend' in a foodstuff's name really qualifies it as an inside reference. Unless you can find a way of working Great Uncle Pawdabber's Pre-Tend Ice Cream Showdown into the reference somehow. {{User:Kahteh/sig}} 16:28, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
::::Considering the three instances of the word "[[Pretend]]" in three separate cartoons, this should be considered an Inside Joke and a page should be made for it. After all, we've made pages for [[All Is On|less]]. --[[User:Ppk01|Ppk01]] 18:51, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
:::::It doesn't have to be a reference to be funny. Pawdabber's ice cream is pretend because it's really just sour cream and The Cheat fur. Chateau Pretend is pretend because the only real part of the restaurant is a cardboard box. There's nothing notable about Strong Bad using a regular English word to mean the same thing on two occasions. [[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]] 19:03, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
::::::Most likely a reference to [[Wikipedia:Château Latour|Château Latour]], considering he orders a bottle of it.
:::::::Agreed. Chateaubriand is a real stretch. [[User:JudahNielsen|JudahNielsen]] 22:09, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

== Name that Tune ==

Gah... The tune the whale plays is ''extraordinarily'' familiar. I just can't place it, for the life of me. It's very frustrating. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 10:14, 19 March 2007 (UTC)


:It sounds really familar to me to. It's really annoying. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 10:19, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
::It reminds me a LOT of the music from one of the towns in [[Wikipedia:Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]. --{{User:TotalSpaceshipGuy3/sig}} 10:36, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
::I think I've got it! It's the first few notes of the music that plays in Koopa Village in the original [[Wikipedia:Paper Mario|Paper Mario]]! Nailed it! [[:Image:Crappy Speaker Song.ogg|Compare]] the [[:Image:Koopa Village.ogg|two]]. --{{User:TotalSpaceshipGuy3/sig}} 10:50, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
:::Those two don't sound that similar to me... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 11:04, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
::::The key may be a bit off. The tune seems similar to me, though. I very may well be tone-deaf. --{{User:TotalSpaceshipGuy3/sig}} 11:05, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Here's another idea [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Drive-Thru&diff=431666&oldid=431665 that was proposed]. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 13:14, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
<blockquote>The tune that the drive-thru whale plays appears to be the first few notes from the theme song for the television show ''Night Court''.</blockquote>
After listening to [http://youtube.com/watch?v=7pod-uZH8s8 the theme from Night Court], I think they're similar, but different. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 13:23, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
:I'm pretty sure it's from a game, possibly one on this site? (doubt it) - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 13:26, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Call me weird, but to me it sounds somewhat similar to the title screen themes in the Pokemon games. -Sumgirl

I think it's the beat that makes it familiar, rather than the tune. The beat is more or less the same as the [[Everybody Knows It]] song. [[User:Nsayer|Nsayer]] 17:09, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

TSSG3: When you try to match the two up, [[:Image:Speaker Song BW Koopa Village.ogg|even when you're nice]] to the beats, you don't get much of a hit. ¤ {{User:The Mu/sig}} 20:39, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Isn't it the chorus from the Gorillaz track "Dirty Harry"?

:I looked it up and it matches pretty well. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 22:23, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

It's not Paper Mario, I have that game, or Night Court (I looked it up on YouTube). [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 22:22, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't know, I'm pretty convinced by Night Court. The groove is different, but the melodic contour is the same. Both songs start on Bb, move through a major chord (w/ ornamentation) to rest briefly on F, peak on Ab, and descend by way of G and F. The crappy-speaker song is more or less what you'd get if you took Night Court, changed the tempo, set it to a different beat, and changed some of the little in-between notes. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]]

For the musically challenged: [[:Image:Drive-Thru Tune.png]]. The real tune from the toon, the Koopa Village tune that TSSG3 posted, Night Court pulled from some MIDI I found on the net, and Dirty Harry, from me, since I own that one... all shifted to start on C, so they're easier to compare. They're don't really seem all that similar to me... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 00:24, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

The 2nd half of the song is identical for all intents and purposes to night court and the first half is 'similar' -[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 03:22, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

It sounds a little Daytime TV to me, and it's said right after the word Password...does anyone know what the theme to that gameshow was? I've been trying to YouTube it for a few minutes...actually something in the background could have been it. I'll keep searching. There's 4 themes, I can find...one. Just a thought, probably nothing. ~ Shadix

The tune reminds me a bit of the music from the first level of the NES game Mappy Land.. but is slightly different. --[[User:AshyRaccoon|AshyRaccoon]] 05:54, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Which in turn was a lyricless version of "This little light of mine". The whales song does sound similar.{{User:Sesshoumaru Cian/sig}}

The instrument sounds extremely similar to keyboard-headed-Strong Bad's keyboard, and considering its association with the Drive-thru Whale, it might make sense, seeing as it's very similar to what one may expect from Sweet Cuppin' Cakes. --[[User:199.94.78.180|199.94.78.180]] 16:21, 20 March 2007 (UTC).

It sounds like a sped up version of the 'living in the gutter with grandma' song to me. [[User:202.72.133.195|202.72.133.195]] 00:12, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Noone's gotten this yet? Maybe you guys need to buy more playsets and toys!™ (hint, hint) {{unsigned|64.112.196.145|01:04, 21 March 2007 (UTC)}}
:If you're implying that it's the [[Cheat Commandos]] theme, then: no. It's not even remotely similar. It's nothing like the [[SBLOUNSKCHED!]] jingle, either... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 01:16, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I figured it was the ''Night Court'' theme mainly because it works about the same way as Homestar's beanie: it plays the music when the thingie on top is in motion. [[User:Octan|Octan]] 05:14, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

== Distorted speaker ==

The lines Strong Bad hears as "Sever your leg", I hear that the speaker is saying "Serve to your right", or something similar... and, {{p|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Drive-Thru&diff=431603&oldid=431600 like Shwoo}}, I hear "seventh window". The others I hear the same as SB, but I wouldn't be surprised if I'm mishearing any or all of these... what do you think? {{User:Phlip/sig}} 10:20, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
:I distinctly heard "seventh window" too, even before there was a transcript. I stand with "sever your leg", though. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]] 10:21, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
:I can't really hear "serve to your right". There's no t sound. {{User:Shwoo/sig}} 10:25, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
::It's confirmed in the New Stuff section. The description is "Sever your leg, please, sir." --{{User:TotalSpaceshipGuy3/sig}} 11:13, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
:::Not really, the toon description there could be quoting SB, it was one of the funny lines in the toon after all... Oh well, ''{waits patiently for QotW}''. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 11:20, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
I heard "serve to your right" the first time I watched it, but after listening it to a few more times, I hear "sever your leg". "Seventh window" is definetely correct. - {{User:Super_Sam/sig}} 13:35, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
:::::In terms of the window, I almost hear "south window". [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 15:55, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
::::::I hear "sever your leg" and that's all I hear. [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 01:13, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

It tells the lobster to sever its leg, or whatever it really said, and the lobster severed its leg...

I hear "steve turn around to the seventh window"
I absolutely hear "steve turn around to the seventh window" as well -[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 03:20, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

:It totally is! Those nobots are also referred to as having "drive-thru stereo." [[User:Coveredinharmony|CoveredinSuudzu]] 16:06, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

== Jeeves ==

Reginald Jeeves is a character created by P.G. Wodehouse who appears in a number of short stories and novels. In the literature, Jeeves works as the valet of Bertie Wooster.

== Reference? ==

Just looking at the article of the day, I think the table in the easter egg is the top of the [[Jail|jail]]. Anyone else? - {{User:HeyMama/sig}}
:Looks like the same box to me. ([[User:Some kind of scientist|Some kind of scientist]] 23:47, 19 March 2007 (UTC))
::The shading is different in a few spots, it doesn't have "JAIL" or "A BOX" or the bars, but is clearly based on that box.

== Weird Al Reference? ==

I saw that Weird Als music video for "Trapped In The Drive-Thru" was released on Myspace Video yesterday. Reference?

:First of all, SIGN YOUR NAME!!!! And, second, yeah, when I saw the title, I thought, "Hey, is this a ref to "TitDT?" It MIGHT be a reference, just MIGHT.

What do all a y'all think??? -{{User:WeirdAl/sig}} 00:05, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

::First of all, NO SHOUTING!!!! :-p Well, considering that it takes TBC about a day and a night to animate a sbemail (I think they said that in an interview), and that this toon is much shorter than recent sbemails, it's definitely possible. But it would have required them to see the video as soon as it was released, drop the toon/sbemail they were working on, come up with an idea in no time and start working on the animation immediately. And for all that effort, there is no clear reference to the Weird Al video in this toon (as far as I can see). So yes, it's possible, but highly unlikely. Definitely a stretch.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 03:15, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

== Speed to Europa ==

:''For the rocket to have traveled the minimum distance of 628,089,000 kilometers (390,276,411 miles, 4.2AU) to Europa and back in the 1:30 between the rocket's launch and its landing, it must have traveled at an average speed exceeding 23 times the speed of light.''
I moved this here from the article, since we have several precedents of moving calculations to the talk page. (See [[Talk:A Folky Tale#Physics|Talk:A Folky Tale → Physics]] for an example.) — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:08, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
: For reference, I ''would'' like to note that the calculation is more than possible, as there are is no "lost time" between the rocket's launch and landing (ie. no cuts where time would have elapsed.) And I think it's worth noting on the main page. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:20, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
I note that this calculation doesn't take the [[Wikipedia:Theory of Relativity|Theory of Relativity]] into account. If it did, the rocket would return a long time before it left. — [[User:Meneth|Meneth]] 14:23, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Is it just me, or is the Homestar Runner universe in general getting more and more incoherent, surreal and disorganised? I've noticed a trend in recent months towards the characters becoming more and more delusional, and the situations they find themselves in less and less comprehensible. Is something akin to the virus outbreak (albeit slower and on a less noticable level) happening again? -- Andreus 18:48, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

== Why the first rocket launch fizzled ==

I tried to add this to the reference, but it was reverted.

The reason the rocket performed so poorly when Strong Bad first attempted to launch (without the compressOR) it was that he forgot to fill it half full of water. For those familiar with the toy water rockets in question, they behaved exactly that way without the water in them. Seems like everything I contribute gets immediately reverted. Sort of makes it not worth the attempt. [[User:Nsayer|Nsayer]] 21:30, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
:Nsayer, I am the one who reverted it because, A: if you look through the redd transparent plastic, you can see water bubbling, and B: it's still not notable. As for your edits being reverted, we always appreciate well-intended contributions, even if they do have to be removed. Please do not get discouraged. Most of my early edits were reverted also. You will get better with time. I will admit I tend to be a bit more conservative on facts than some others, and for that I am sympathetic. [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 21:36, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
:: I looked really close and didn't see any water bubbling, and lacking water makes these rockets do *exactly* what Strong Bad's did. As for notability, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. [[User:Nsayer|Nsayer]] 22:02, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
::: I saw bubbles at the top of the rocket while SB's pumping it. (*shrugs*) --[[User:AshyRaccoon|AshyRaccoon]] 01:59, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

== Steve Drive Around... ==

Okay, when the whale says what is currently transcribed as "Steve, drive around to the seventh window", I'm actually hearing "Stay dry around to the seventh window". Anyone else hearing that?

The possibilities that I've seen so far (that I'm aware of - feel free to add) are:
* "Please drive around to the seventh window"
* "Steve, drive around to the seventh window"
* "Stay dry around to the seventh window"
* "Steer your car around to the seventh window"

{{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 21:55, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

:I just listened to this part of the toon closely for the first time, and I (independently) asked someone if there was a discussion anywhere about it. Without any knowledge of what was in the transcript, I asked: "I hear ''''Steve drive around...'''' ... Is that one of the choices?" So that gets my vote. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 22:01, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I heard "Steve" the second or third time around. At any rate it definitely sounded like it started with "S," whatever it was. I don't think it was "please." Mighta been "Steer your car around" but it sounds more like "Steve turn around" to me. [[User:Octan|Octan]] 05:24, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

== Echo II: Echo-lectric Boogaloo ==

Here's a deleted remark that's at least interesting. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 06:44, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
<blockquote>When Strong Bad shouts at the drive-thru whale about being isolated in the middle of the field, his voice echoes even though there is nothing else in the field for the sound of his voice to bounce off of.</blockquote>
:I was the one that deleted it, and this is the reason: the speed of sound is exactly 769.5 miles per hour. An echo can bounce off of an object over 5 miles away given the proper conditions. Even during the two or three pan-outs of the field, there was simply no way to be certain that there was nothing for the echo to resound off of. We've also seen numerous buildings in Free Country, USA, any one of which could have been just out of our range of vision. In addition, even if it were true, the echo was made for comedic effect, as in many TV shows, movies, and cartoons. It's really no more noteworthy than say... Homsar's feet making a silly sound when he walks. Sure, that wouldn't normally happen, but it's a cartoon. Incidentally, thanks for taking this to the discussion page in order to clear this up. [[User:0rion|0rion]] 07:31, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

== Zelda reference? ==

I know it's a it of a stretch, but could the whale flying away at theend be a reference to those time telling eye-rocks in zelda: Majora's Mask?-Ashley

:Oh, I know exactly what you're talking about — those things are creepy! They launch when you hit them with the hammer or blow them up with a bomb, or something, right? Probably a coincidence, but interesting connection! {{User:Trey56/sig}} 09:48, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

== Estimated ages? ==

Strong Bad says "Oh, yeah. I feel at least 10 years younger! Time to go relate with some 18-24 year olds!" This brings up two ideas. He goes to see Strong Sad, so that leads me to believe that Strong Sad is 18-24. Also, if Strong Bad wants to relate to people around 10 years younger than his real age, that could mean he's 28-34 years old.

:The thing is, your theory i'ds contradicted by 'The Secrets I Keep'. In that they are around the same age [[User:Gerkuman|Gerkuman]] 17:05, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

::Also, why would he choose Strong Sad to relate to? That angle doesn't make sense. But you'll note that Matt is 30 and Mike is 33 - that's ''their'' age, no? One could assume (if one was prone to speculation) that Strong Bad is about their age. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 17:40, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

:::I see nothing contradictory in 'The Secrets That I Keep'. All it shows is what went on in their childhood, and it has no reference to ages whatsoever.

::::Still, this may give an age range for Strong Bad, but it offers nothing useful toward determining Strong Sad's age. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:15, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

:::::I think the comment about relating to 18-24 yr olds is based on that being considered the key demographic for those who specialize in "edgy humor." So I really don't think that it can in anyway be seen as a way to estimate Strong Bad's age (there have been plenty of people of all ages who have tried to appeal to this demographic, often by changing their appearence), as for why he picks Strong Sad???? That has me baffled too, unless you want to take into account that Strong Sad listens to college radio and '''may''' be of that age group (although I think we're getting really speculative here, well beyond encyclopedic bounds.)- {{User:Ilko Skevüld's Teh C/Sig}} 19:28, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

:::::::No, I think that the first statement seems about right. Maybe SS is the youngest (main) character (Appart from The Cheat, maybe), and so that's why SB talked to him? I reckon that with all this evidence, the age ranges may be true. Perhaps it could be written somewhere as "It is suggested that..."? You know, like the left-hand, right-hand, and ambidextrous info.

== L'Chaim ==

Hey there Elcoolio, I wanted to ask you about L'Chaim as is pertains to this article. As I have heard it pronounce L'Chaim in hebrew is a three syllibol phrase (lo-high-em) whereas chai in english is one syllibol (ch-i). Isn't this just a coincidence in spelling? {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 17:41, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
:''{What is written here is not from the perspective of someone who deeply studied the language, just of someone speaking it. Please read with it as such}'' Well, I'm not going to meddle in the affairs of Wikipedia, but I would have spelled "Lekhaim" (as I like to differentiate between the English or Hindi sound from the Hebrew one, but that would have ruined the joke). You can pronounce it le-kha-yim, or le-kha-im, but not "lo-high-em" or anything like that, unless you want to sound like a heavy-accented tourist. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:52, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

== Woman's Rights? ==

::Knowing something about Kashrut, I can assure you that out of all the substances in the world, tea would be a rather easy thing to make kosher. And, yes it would probably be pareve, meaning not-meat and non-dairy. However, if the company even bothered at all to mark the tea as pareve, they would have done so on the kosher symbol, which we can assume is on the back or side of the box. Most of the time, whether a product is dairy or non-dairy is left up to the consumer to figure out. Products are only marked if there could be confusion as to whether or not they contain milk, as the supervising agencies assume there is no need to mark cottage cheese dairy, or ramen noodles pareve. My verdict: No goof and not notable.{{User:Geshmalderborgen/sig}} 03:39, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Just a quick note, videogames have had seizure warnings since at least the Sega Genesis era, as far as I remember. It wasn't just Pokémon that added this, I remember it being in the manual for Sonic 2.
:Yeah, but it's been a lot more common lately. And now they're, like, actually IN the games. I don't remember seeing one before ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' (although my friend's DreamCast games had them). --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:I remember seizure warnings in ''original NES'' manuals... --{{User:Jay/sig}} 04:55, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
::Some games needed 'em more than others... like ''Zelda II''... that was some death screen. They must've had a warning for that.-[[User:LordQuackingstick|LordQuackingstick]] 21:04, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

==Reference to Plastic Surgery/Botox?==

When they tightened SB's laces, immediently botox came to mind since really old people get it done so they look "young". -Teh C.
:Well, it is a ref to cosmetic surgery, but not botox... Strong Bad called the procedure a "lace lift" after all, which is a pun on "face lift"... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 08:13, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
::And, that would fall under the category of "explaining the joke" which we don't like to do. Well, explaining the "lace lift/face lift" might be important, but let the reader figure the rest out. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:51, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

==404'd!==

I'm getting a 404'd when I try to watch this email. Could somebody tell me what's going on?--[[User:Apopcolypse nowish|Apopcolypse nowish]] 16:46, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Never mind. It was a problem with my cache. It's fixed now.--[[User:Apopcolypse nowish|Apopcolypse nowish]] 16:47, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

== Drakkhen? ==

Say, anybody gonna add Drakkhen to the Floppy Disk Container page? I'd do it, but I'm not set up to do screen grabs. --[[User:Bigscarymike|BigScaryMike]] 17:45, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

== Strong Sad bossing SB around? ==

Is this e-mail notable for Strong Sad actually leading Strong Bad along, with SB going along with it?
:Not quite. Strong Sad is apparently mistaking Strong Bad for a different person due to SB's distorted face. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:24, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
With a smile like that,you know he knows it's SB.

== Go-Gurt? ==

Is Strong Bad referencing Go-Gurt[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go-Gurt] when he says,"I eat my yogurt through a tube!"

I'm only saying this because Go-Gurt commercials usually had kids that would always be skateboarding and such.
:Most espi-definitely (especially + definitely). In fact, it's already a fun fact on the page. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Echo ==

When I watched this the first time yesterday, I recall Homestar's line in the warehouse easter egg had an echo applied to it. Watching it today, there was no echo. Did anyone else notice it, or was I just hearing things? --[[User:Ragey|Ragey]] 20:47, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
:I hear an echo even now. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== You eat EVERYTHING through a tube! ==

I removed an Explanation FF saying that Strong Sad's line "You eat ''everything'' through a tube!" is a reference to an IV (intravenous catheter, etc). That's not quite true - yes, you can be given nutrition through an IV, but that's less common than being fed through a feeding tube, which goes down the esophagus. Feeding tubes are only given to severely disabled patients, those in comas and persistent vegetative states, etc. - basically, people who are unable to feed themselves or even perform the mouth, tongue and swallowing motions necessary to eat. With SB's mask stretched so tight, it's conceivable that he might need a feeding tube, but that's speculation and outside the scope of this FF.

I think it'd be valid to mention feeding tubes, but I'm at a loss as to how to word the FF or which section it should go in. Thoughts? {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 22:28, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

:Frankly, I don't think it needs to be explained at all. I simply don't see the relevance, and since it could mean either of the two, it would also be one of those "It could mean this or that" FFs.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:30, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Gus — Fri, 17 Nov 2006 05:42:45 GMT

Gus: I don't say "bawk" or "rawn", I say "bahk" and "rahn". "Bock" and "ron" represent either depending on your accent.

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: rock opera</div>
Strong Bad, 
I think it's high time you composed a rock opera. You 
simply owe it to society. What should it be about? 
That's up to you. 
Best Wishes, 
Anonymous Contributor 
Gambier, OH</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces the last two lines as "Anonymous Contrib-u-tore, Gombyay... ''hhhough''}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ugh, poor guy. ''{typing}'' HEY! Mr. and Mrs. Contributor, way to name your kid! I can only imagine the taunts and jabs the kids on the playground musta come up with.

''{A piece of notebook paper appears onscreen with Teen Girl Squad-esque drawings on it. On it are drawings of a swingset, Little Strong Bad, and Anonymous, who looks suspiciously like Strong Sad with a question mark for a face. Anonymous is kicking a soccerball, and faint playground chatter is present in background}''

'''NOTEBOOK STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Anonymous! Why don't ya, um, write a poem or something and not attribute it to yourself!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Or, like...

''{The paper switches out. This one features Anonymous with his hands glued to his butt, Strong Bad, and Tompkins, again with faint playground chatter.}''

'''NOTEBOOK STRONG BAD:''' Yo, Anonny! Maybe try calling the cops and giving them some valuable information to help solve a crime without revealing your own identityiyiyiy!

''{The paper disappears offscreen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh. Kids can be so cruel. ''{clears screen, resumes typing}'' OK, back on task. To tell you the truth, you guys have already heard mosta my rock opera. I've been composing it over the last three and a half years. It's simply entitled "SBEMAIL!" ''{A poster for SBEMAIL! appears onscreen}'' And the lyrics consist of one word from each of my 125 emails! ''{The poster disappears}'' Now, it may not make a whole lotta sense but when have I ever backed down from a bad idea, right? Now let's get this train wreck a-rollin'!

''{Cut to some curtains, which open, beginning the opera.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bravo! Encore! Encore! Ándale! Ándale! Arriba! Arriba! ''{typing}'' Thank you! Thank you! Yes, the rave reviews are already pouring in. It's only a matter of time before the chicks ''{due to the keyboard getting covered in roses, this is typed as "It's only a msyyer pd tun/ blegfr teh chekts"}'' -uh.

''{The camera pulls out, and we see The Cheat on the computer desk holding a rose.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat... ixnay on the cut-it-out-throwing-roses-at-me! ...may.

'''THE CHEAT:''' Meh!

''{The Cheat throws a rose at Strong Bad's face and it sticks there.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Augh! ''{He clutches his face and starts flailing his limbs wildly.}'' Rose face! ROSE FACE!!! ''{He falls off his stool.}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy, where [[The Paper]] comes down.}''

== Easter Eggs ==

* Click ''rave reviews'' to see some reviews of Sbemail:
**"SBEMAIL! Is a Triumph of Some Sort!!!" "It will leave you wanting MORE, MORE, MORE!" -(Perhaps)The Deke
**"A million stars!!!" -Age 7
**"SBEMAIL! is better than a [[Goats|goat]]!!" - The Biscuitdoughhandsman Review

* Click ''Pouring in'' to see a poster for SBEMAIL!
:"an off13 Broadway rock opera from the man who brought you 'Dangeresque: Put 'Em On Ice!'"
*While on the poster, click '[[Dangeresque]]: put em on ice' to see a clip of Dangeresque: Put 'Em On Ice!
::''{Cut to somewhere in The Field in winter, with a small ice pond in the foreground. Strong Bad (as Dangeresque) skates in from the right}''
::'''DANGERESQUE:''' So I'm gonna have to jum—
::''{Dangeresque falls through the ice.}''
::'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{offscreen}'' Meh! ''{throws a rose onto the ice}''
* Click the ''Encore'' that appears on the bottom-right of the Lappy screen when you scroll your mouse over it to see the rock opera again.

== Fun Facts ==

=== Explanations ===
*A [[Wikipedia:Rock opera|rock opera]] is, as the name implies, a sung dramatic work in a rock, instead of classical, musical style. The term originated with the programmatic works of [[Wikipedia:The Who|The Who]], in particular their rock opera ''[[Wikipedia:Tommy (rock opera)|Tommy]]''.
*off13 Broadway refers to [[Wikipedia:Off-Broadway|Off-Broadway]] and [[Wikipedia:Off-Off-Broadway|Off-Off-Broadway]], classificaions of theatre size in New York theatre venues. Off-Broadway refers to theatres with audience sizes between 100 and 499, and Off-Off-Broadway refers to theatres with 100 seats or less. The concept behind them is that having a very small house allows for productions that are much more experimental and financially risky.

=== Trivia ===
*This is the first email where all twelve main characters appear in person. (The Poopsmith and Pom Pom were only on playing cards in [[your friends]] and [[different town]], respectively.)
*Each quote is truly taken from each email, in order. The first word is from [[some kinda robot]], the second from [[homsar]], and so forth.
*The label on the disk in the floppy disk container reads "[[Floppy Disk Container#colorado|colorado]]".
*The same strobe lights from [[techno]] are seen during the "Positate without pizzaz and jam" section of the song. However, both lights in this email are different colors from the lights in techno.

=== Remarks ===
*The email rap and the flipside version are clips of Strong Bad saying the same thing, but they are different versions of it. If you reverse the clip, the most obvious difference is that the flipside version doesn't have a pause after the word "email."
*The word ''crackin''' isn't actually heard in [[fingers]], and though it likely was recorded, the audio layer is turned down or the narrator is completely overpowering Strong Bad's voice.
*The Poopsmith, Bubs, and Pom Pom all remain motionless when the cast yells "SBEMAIL!", though it may be that the Poopsmith is silent on purpose, courtesy of his vow of silence.
*Strong Bad ''did'' back down from a bad idea in [[other days]], when he decided not to speak the entire email as a robot.
*When Dangeresque falls through the ice, the hole is smaller than his head.
*Strong Bad technically asked The Cheat to throw another rose at him. "Ixnay" in [[Wikipedia:Pig Latin|Pig Latin]] translates to "nix", meaning "cut it out" or "stop". Therefore, the whole phrase constituted a [[Wikipedia:double negative|double negative]] meaning "continue throwing roses at me."

=== Goofs ===
*You can still click the contrast buttons on the [[Tandy 400|Tandy]] while the opera is playing, although it doesn't actually affect the contrast of the screen.
*When roses are being thrown with the Lappy in the background, you can't see the reflection of the roses on the Lappy's screen.
*When The Cheat throws a rose in Strong Bad's face, it hits his left eye. However, when Strong Bad starts freaking out about it, the rose is on his right eye.
*When the cast yells "SBEMAIL!" Strong Mad's mouth appears on Homsar's torso for a few seconds.
**Though not noticeable without zooming in, once everyone has finished yelling "SBEMAIL!", Homsar's lip comes between Homestar's head and shirt; more specifically, in front of the head, and behind the shirt.
*In [[trevor the vampire]], when Strong Bad goes up to the screen and says "Hi, everybody," his eyes were given the newer style. However, in the opera, the same scene was shown, but his eyes were still the old style.
*When the word "metal" zooms out toward the screen passing in front of Strong Bad, his mouth appears on top of the word instead of behind it.
*If you play the opera again (via the "ENCORE!" in the corner), a slight bit of the audio for the part afterwards will play.

=== Inside References ===
*The shoes that walk across the screen are the back button of the old main page.
**The shoes were also used as a back button in [[She Loves Me!]]
*On the second making-fun-of-Anonymous piece-of-paper, Anonymous has his hands glued to his butt, which also happened to Strong Sad in the e-mail [[1 step ahead]].
**Also, the drawing of Anonymous has two toenails, much like Strong Sad.
**Strong Sad also gave an "anonymous tip" in [[Strong Bad is in Jail Cartoon]].
*Also on the second piece-of-paper, Strong Bad's legs are positioned like those of [[Wrestleman]] from the weekly [[Sketchbook]].
*When Strong Bad's typing starts going awry as The Cheat is throwing roses at him, he types "the chicks" as "teh chekts", a reference to the immediately preceding Strong Bad E-mail [[secret recipes]].
*When Strong Bad appears to have two electric guitars sticking out of his head, it is a reference to the cover art for the CD [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]].
*Strong Bad sitting in the chair swirling the wine in the cup is modeled after a similar scene from [[Everybody to the Limit]].
**Strong Bad also swirls his wine in [[montage]].
**The background behind him in this scene is from [[dangeresque 3]].
*The action figures of Strong Sad and Strong Bad are from the Strong Bad Email [[action figure]].
*The background of the area with the pyramid of gold bars (pre-explosion) is taken directly from [[RhinoFeeder]].
*The "Goodtime Palace" is modeled after similar scenes from [[animal]] and even features Baby Styles.
**Also, the normal "black frame" around the screen changes to the Cheat's poorly drawn frame from his "[[Powered by The Cheat]]" Cartoons.
*The picture of the "Hardest Guitar Chord Ever" comes from [[privileges]].
*[[Club Technochocolate]] is originally from [[extra plug]].
** The word "technochocolate" itself comes from [[monument]].
*The rock music which starts at Club Technochocolate uses the same chord progression as ''The Cheat Is Not Dead'' from [[caper]].
*The stage the entire cast is grouped on at the end is seen in [[A Decemberween Pageant]], among other holiday toons.
*The "biscuitdoughhandsman review" in the Easter egg is yet another reference to everyone's favorite unapprehended villain, [[Biscuit Dough Hands Man]].
*"[[The Deke]]" is originally from [[autobiography]].
*Strong Bad's dance move with Baby Styles is a reference to [[virus]] when he compliments Bubs for being a computer genius man.
*"Sbemail" is a reference to the filename of every Strong Bad e-mail. Strong Bad also refers to this in [[unused emails]] and [[kids' book]].
*This isn't the first time Strong Bad has spoken backwards, he also does it on [[Strong Bad's Message Bored]].
*The guitars featured in the email are the same as in the Easter egg in the email [[new hands]].
*The Pixelated Strong Bad with the Pink hoodie is a reference to an Easter egg in the strong bad email [[montage]].
*"NO FOR RENT" is a reference to a response from the [[Jhonka]] in [[Peasant's Quest]].

=== Real-World References ===
*Strong Bad's "Ándale! Ándale! Arriba! Arriba!" at the end is quoting the famous Warner Bros. cartoon mouse [[Wikipedia:Speedy Gonzales|Speedy Gonzales]].
*The electric guitars in the opera are (or are modeled after) the Gibson V-Factor, more commonly known as "Flying V".
*The amps are modeled after Marshall stacks, but instead of "Marshall," the logo reads "An Amp". These were also used in [[different town]] and [[Cool Things]], but labeled "Marzipan".
*Strong Bad's rap at the beginning of the e-mail may be a reference to Missy Elliott's "Work It," where she says "I put my thang down, flip it, and reverse it! Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gnaht ym tup I!"
*Strong Bad walking toward the camera while neon signs fly by is also a commonly used movie cliché when the main-character gets overwhelmed by the nightlife of the city (most famously in the 1945 film ''[[Wikipedia:The Lost Weekend|The Lost Weekend]]'').


=== Fast Forward ===
*A [[Rock Opera (karaoke)|karaoke]] video was released for the Rock Opera on the [[strongbad_email.exe Disc Four|Strong Bad Email DVD]].
*The "guitar stars" were re-used in [[Summer Short Shorts]].
*A more realistic gold bar pile (seen in 'double the real gold') is seen in [[space program]].

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

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

'''MIKE:''' Joined in the booth here by none other—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{imitates backwards speech in email's opening}'' See, I—people think I—they just flipped the audio track when I really said—

'''MIKE:''' I wasn't done—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' —that, live.

'''MIKE:''' —introducing you.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ah, but I had to get in on the game!

'''MIKE:''' This, this is Strong Bad, everyone.

'''STRONG BAD:''' And this is—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' He's gonna be—he's gonna being doing the commentary with me.

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is By-The-Book Mike, over here, this guy—

'''MIKE:''' We have—we've gotta do things by the rules.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Okay, since—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' It's not gonna work, it's not gonna work if we don't—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Look, we're not going to make a very good cop team, alright, 'cause ''I'' don't play by the rules, ''Mike.''

'''MIKE:''' Uh, did you do these drawings?

'''STRONG BAD:''' I did. Look, I've even got—

'''MIKE:''' These-they're bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What?

'''MIKE:''' They're bad drawings.

'''STRONG BAD:''' They're great drawings! Look at little Tompkins.

'''MIKE:''' Tomp—

'''STRONG BAD:''' He's laughing at Strong Sad. ''{in high voice}'' "Put his hands on his butt again, they got glued there."

'''MIKE:''' Okay, don't—don't get up to high voices.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{still in high voice}'' I'm in a high voice now!

'''MIKE:''' I don't like the high voice realm.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{unintelligible}''

'''MIKE:''' Oh, so which email is this we're doing here?

'''STRONG BAD:''' This is the one where I do my rock opera!

'''MIKE:''' Oh, rock opera. So this was—

'''STRONG BAD:''' It's a retrospective.

'''MIKE:''' This was, uh, so were you really planning this from day one?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Of course, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' So you—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Everything on this website has been planned since day one.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, reall—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' I guarantee it.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, that's true, Mike. Like, I'm gonna put this b—lightbulb in my mouth!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' That's a coffee cup, Strong Bad.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{hushed}'' Don't tell them, ''{returns to normal volume}'' look! ''{Mike laughs}'' That was just for the sound effect—

'''MIKE:''' By the books! That didn't even sound like a lightbulb.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''By the books.'' Pants—those are some—

'''MIKE:''' Nice burlap pants! ''{laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' He was wearing a burlap sack for pants.

'''MIKE:''' I hear you had to, uhh—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, look, I was singing that song from American Tail. ''{Mike laughs}'' It was like "Somewheres... out there..." Ooh, that's a new way to look at me.

'''MIKE:''' That is—

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' From the front side!

'''MIKE:''' The front view walk clip.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm doin' a front side air... over there.

'''MIKE:''' We'll have to use that, again.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Nope. ''{imitates self in email}'' Matic, matic. Ooh, this, this, who's playin' this guitar? 'Cause this music, I didn't even do. It showed up on my doorstep.

'''MIKE:''' Euhh, I made some of it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh.

'''MIKE:''' Matt and I made it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' That's the hardest chord ever, right?

'''MIKE:''' That was the hardest chord ever, played by Gary Palaroncini—there's two of the Palaroncinis right there.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Wow, everybody's got metal hair, in this—

'''MIKE:''' Everybody's—

'''STRONG BAD:''' —video.

'''MIKE:''' —gettin' in on the action.

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat helped me out with a lot of this.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, it looks like it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Visuals.

'''MIKE:''' You can—you can tell.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I for—I think I was calling... all cars.

'''MIKE:''' What do you call—what's that girl's name?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oh, that's Cynthentia.

'''MIKE:''' Cyn—''{laughs}'' Cynthentia.

'''STRONG BAD:''' What I heard.

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}'' How, uh, have you talked to her lately?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Yeah... that's what I was calling, on the phone, earlier, when I said—

'''MIKE:''' Cynthentia.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' "Experience dance tonight."

'''MIKE:''' What famous ladies like SBEMAIL—

'''STRONG BAD:'''Uh—

'''MIKE:''' ''{simultaneously}''—on that—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Bruce Willis. Uh, Beck.

'''MIKE:''' Those are both guys.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Umm... Robin Williams.

'''MIKE:''' Those are all guys.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, look, the list just keeps on going—

'''MIKE:''' Is Cynthenti—

'''STRONG BAD:''' —until it turns into women. ''{Mike laughs}'' Oh, the guitarist from Liz Phair.

'''MIKE:''' That's a guy, too.

'''STRONG BAD:''' AUGH! But Liz Phair isn't a guy. It was hard to type on that with a buncha—

'''MIKE:''' You didn't—you weren't able to do it.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Not very well!

'''MIKE:''' No.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ooh, Colorado, remember that game?

'''MIKE:''' ''{unintelligible}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' That game had... VGA graphics.

'''MIKE:''' There were some sweet graphics.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Good graphics.

Strong Bad discusses crayon colors and stumbles upon Marzipan's cult, er, "classroom".

'''Page Title:''' Lappy 486

==Transcript==
'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' Sippin' on a bottle of email, cold, having a picnic lunch with some co-workers.
<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: bad crayon namers</div>
Dear awesome, 
have you ever thought how rediculous some crayon names are....I mean "blizzard blue"...thats stupid...and "Laser lemon"...??? 
-much love 
Ter 
Andover,MN
</blockquote>

''{After "Dear awesome", Strong Bad inserts, "Oh! Somebody finally got it right!"; at the first ellipsis, he adds, "Oh, you mean like, Red iculous?" and a red crayon that says "Red iculous" appears, and after "Laser lemon", he repeats suprisedly:}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Laser lemon?! ''{picking up a phone}'' The Cheat, halt production immediately!

''{Cut to the garage, where The Cheat is using a soldering iron and an oscilloscope to build a laser with lemons on it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{over the PA}'' Crayola beat us to the punch. Let's shift focus to... "Laser Limes". ''{The Cheat looks annoyed}'' Or maybe just laser beams.

'''THE CHEAT:''' ''{The Cheat noise which sounds unmistakably like "Okay."}''

''{Cut back to the Lappy, where Strong Bad resumes reading the email. He reads "Andover,MN" as "And over, and over, and over, M N."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ter? What is that, short for Terbert? Or Terlliam? Or Terthew? ''{clears screen}'' Welter, the crayons of my youth had pretty awesome names. Especially the ones that came with my Limozeen 1989 "Ladies, We're Staying in Room 302 at the Ramada" Tour coloring book!

''{Cut to a view of this coloring book, which has a drawing of two members of Limozeen on the cover.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' There was Leather Black—

''{A black crayon saying "Leather Black" appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —Ripped Denim Blue,—

''{A blue crayon saying "Ripped Denim Blue" appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —Groupie Lipstick Red,—

''{A red crayon saying "Groupie Lipstick Red" appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' —Skin Flesh!

''{A pink crayon saying "Skin Flesh" appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hairspray Blond!

''{A yellow crayon saying "Hairspray Blond" appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' And Tight Shiny Purple.

''{A purple crayon saying "Tight Shiny Purple" appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' It even came with a cassette tape with a song about how to color!

''{A yellow cassette tape saying "Colorin' (Outside the Lines)" appears.}''

''{Change to a view of the first page of the coloring book, which shows Larry and Gary performing. Below this is the text "Gary and Larry rehearse their moves". The page has been colored to look like Larry playing the guitar causes it to catch fire, a laser is firing from the guitar with the word "vpoo" over it.}''

'''LARRY:''' ''{singing}'' Grab a box of sixty-four,—

''{Changes to the next page, which shows Limozeen with the text "We are in a band called Limozeen!" Perry's skin has been colored green with blue hair, Larry has been colored with a black eye and blood dripping with the words "be tup" colored on his shirt, and Mary has been colored with an extra set of arms coming out of his head doing the evil fingers, the words "2 sets!" are also colored above his head.}''

'''LARRY:''' ''{singing}'' —with a sharpener a built right in,—

''{Change to next page, which shows Larry with two women. The text says "<s>Larry</s> Strong Bad always serenades the 'of-age' ladies after the show". Larry's face has been colored like Strong Bad's, and his hands have been drawn to look like red boxing gloves. The girls have the [[Wikipedia:Canadian Flag|Canadian Flag]] colored onto their shirts.}''

'''LARRY:''' ''{singing}'' Dump 'em all out onto the floor,—

''{Change to next page, which shows Mary with a face drawn on his abdomen; the text says, "Drummers almost never wear shirts while playing a big show." The rest of the page remains colorless.}''

'''LARRY:''' ''{singing}'' —and let the party begin!

''{Change to next page, which shows Gary leaping into the air whilst playing the guitar; he has been colored to wear a Los Angeles Lakers uniform and hold a basketball; a basketball hoop and defending player have also been drawn in. The text reads "Gary's playing some "air" guitar. Get it?"}''

'''LIMOZEEN:''' Colorin'!

'''LARRY:''' Outside the lines!

''{The next page shows Perry with Teeg Dougland, who is running sound, the text reads "Producer/ manager/ roadie/ webmaster Teeg Dougland shows Perry how to tweak the reverb." They have both been colored to look like old ladies with wrinkles, grey hair, lipstick and fingernails all colored in,}''

'''LIMOZEEN:''' Colorin'!

'''LARRY:''' Inside your heart!

''{The next page shows Larry and Perry, who is wearing a bear mask; the text reads "'That bear mask has GOT to go!!!' shouts Larry."}''

'''LIMOZEEN:''' Colorin'!

'''LARRY:''' Those crayons of mine!

''{The next page shows Mary and Larry barbecueing; a large, vicious-looking hot dog has been drawn standing behind them; The Cheat has been drawn peeking from around the barbecue. Mary's skin has been colored blue, The text reads, "Back home from the road, Mary and Larry say, 'It's Grilla Time!'"}''

'''LIMOZEEN:''' Colorin'!

'''LARRY:''' Hey, hey, let's go back to the start!

''{The last page shows Larry with Gary and Perry performing, this page is not colored. The text reads, "Larry is screaming like a demon. And the other two are playing guitars."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa, looks like I missed one! As much as I respect you guys as artists, it's time to melt your faces off. ''{Strong Bad uses the Skin Flesh crayon to draw on Larry's face; the crayon breaks.}'' Aww, crudcrap! My Skin Flesh broke! ''{cut to a view of Strong Bad at his table holding the broken crayon}'' How'm I gonna get another one of these at this hour? Ooh, wait! I bet Marzipan's teaching her kindergarten class down at the Montesodium school! Those kids eat crayons like they were paste!

''{Cut to Marzipan in the Classroom; the blackboard reads "SOY IS ALSO MURDER"}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{finishing a monologue}'' ...So that way, you always feel guilty! ''{Enter Strong Bad}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, Goody Marzipan. Can I borrow some crayons? I broke my Skin Flesh!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{Looks aghast, then angry.}'' Shhh! Strong Bad, not in front of the class!

''{Cut to a view of the class, which consists of Homsar, Strong Mad and Homestar Runner wearing yellow shirts. Homsar has a stack of blocks on his desk that reads "TURD".}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Teach-orr! I hafta go bafroom!

''{Cut back to Marzipan and Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Why can't I say "Skin Flesh" in front of the— uh, ''children?''

'''MARZIPAN:''' First of all, we don't call them children. They're "life blossoms"!

'''STRONG BAD:''' Life blossoms?! Marzipan, what kind of cult are you running here?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, a pretty standard one. ''{Zoom to a closeup of Marzipan}'' Anyway, we don't use the term "Skin Flesh". The color you're looking for is "Dermal discoveries". ''{A pink roll loosely resembling a crayon with the words "Dermal discoveries" appears}''.

''{Cut to view from behind Marzipan, facing Strong Bad.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What's that scramble?! What about Lipstick Red?

'''MARZIPAN:''' No, no, no. Too gender-specific. We use "Crimson suggestion". ''{A red roll with the words "Crimson suggestion" appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Well, how 'bout Hairspray Blond?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Vague pigmentations! ''{A yellow roll with the words "Vague pigmentations" appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Leather Black?

'''MARZIPAN:''' We just call that "blue". ''{A black roll with the word "Blue" appears.}''

''{Homestar Runner moves into view}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Teacherman, ''{pan to view from behind Strong Bad and Marzipan of Homestar Runner}'' are we just gonna talk about crowns all day?

'''STRONG BAD:''' Ta' 'bou' wha'?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Crowns! You know! For coloring! A box of crowns!

'''MARZIPAN:''' ''{laughs}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{chuckling}'' You mean, crayons? Cray-ons?

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looks angry}'' Oh, I don't need this. I'm going to the liberry! To read me some pie-pie comics!

''{Return to view of Marzipan and Strong Bad from the front}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' What kind of grades does Homestar get?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, roots and grass, mostly.

'''STRONG BAD:''' Roots and grass? What're those, like, Ds? D minusesses?

'''MARZIPAN:''' No, they're Fs.

''{Cut back to the last page of the coloring book.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' All right, boys. Prepare to make some Dermal discoveries! ''{Strong Bad begins to draw with the Dermal discoveries "crayon". Nothing happens.}'' What the— what's wrong with this stupid crown? -on?

'''MARZIPAN:''' Oh, didn't I tell you? Our crayons don't actually color so that no one life blossom shines brighter than any other. That way, they're ''all'' special!

'''STRONG BAD:''' I never had any doubts that all your students were "special", ''{uses his hands to suggest air quotes around the last word}'' Marzipan.

'''MARZIPAN:''' And they're made from 100% pressed bunson, so they double as a healthy snack! Mmm! ''{Marzipan eats a Crimson suggestion.}''

''{A bundle of Marzipan's "crayons" appears in front of Strong Bad.}''

'''LARRY:''' ''{singing, his words appear under the bundle of "crayons".}'' Pressed bunson, you know it's pressed bunson. Preeeeow!

''{The Paper comes down as Larry sings the last word.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...The crap is pressed bunson?

==Easter Eggs==
[[Image:Homestar_reportcardnew.png|thumb|170px|They're life blossoms!]]
*Click on "Dear awesome" after Strong Bad mentions "Red Iculous" to see a "Dear Awesome" colored crayon.
*Likewise, click on "some crayon" and see a "Some Crayon" colored crayon.
*Click on Homestar's shirt when he walks up to Marzipan to see the [[:Image:LURN logo corrected.png|logo]] for [[L.U.R.N.]], or "Life-Blossoms Undergoing Re-programming Naturally."
*Click on the word Murder on the chalkboard after Strong Bad asks about Homestar's grades to see his report card.
*At the end, click on the [[Limozeen Coloring Book]] to see the whole thing (comes up in a new window). It has three pages not featured in the email. You can color it with the included crayons, or print it out.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The device next to The Cheat is an [[wikipedia:Oscilloscope|oscilloscope]].
*"Special" is often used as a derisive euphemism to refer to developmentally challenged or retarded people.

===Trivia===
*The crayons in the Easter egg contain two colors not featured in the email: "Roadie [[Puking|Puke]] Green" and "Sweet Boots Brown".
*This is the first time we see Marzipan in Strong Bad's house.

===Remarks===
*The Lappy's "toe" (which was removed in [[cliffhangers]] and was missing in [[retirement]]) is back.
*The cards above the chalkboard read "4, I3, (, I>, 3, I=, 6, #, 1" which are [[Internet Slang|Leetspeak]] representations of the letters A through I.
*This is the first/closest The Cheat has gotten to saying a word in English ("Okay") outside of his [[Powered by The Cheat]] cartoons, although some of his [[Deliberately Poor English#A Lack of Intelligible Speech|The Cheat noises]] have strongly suggested English phrases in the past.
*Even though the coloring book is dated 1989, Teeg is called a webmaster. The name "web" was used in hypertext systems from at least 1988 on in [[Wikipedia:Intermedia (hypertext)|Intermedia]].

===Fixed Goofs===
*When this email was first released, "blossom" was misspelled as "blossum" in the T-shirt and report card Easter eggs, and "animals" was misspelled as "animas". These have since been fixed.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad uses the same [[Disconnected Telephones|disconnected telephone]] to speak to The Cheat over the intercom that he used in [[replacement]].
*Strong Bad has previously defaced and satirized picture books in [[kids' book]] and [[That Time of Year]].
*When Strong Bad is coloring the Limozeen picture, the music is the same as the music that plays while he is drawing Trogdor in [[dragon]].
*When Homestar calls Marzipan "Teacherman", that might be a reference to him referring to the "nice present" from [[Decemberween in July]] as a [[Santaman]], and to the [[Bear holding a Shark]] in [[myths & legends]] as a "Monsterman".
** It could also be a reference to the real world book "Teacher Man" by Frank McCourt.
*This is another appearance of [[Preeeeow]], the [[Wikipedia:Onomatopoeia|onomatopoeia]] describing The Paper's sound effect.
*"TURD" is a [[Wikipedia:vulgarism|vulgarism]] for [[Whatsit|whatsit]].
*The fact that Strong Bad drew The Cheat peeking out from behind [[Limozeen]]'s grill is a reference to [[Where's The Cheat?]], in which it is revealed that The Cheat lives in [[The King of Town's Grill]].

===Real-World References===
*[[Wikipedia:Crayola|Crayola]] is a well known company that makes art supplies such as [[Wikipedia:Crayon|crayons]].
**"Laser Lemon" is the name of an actual [[Wikipedia:List of Crayola crayon colors|Crayola color]]. "Blizzard Blue" also existed at one point, but has since been replaced with "Inchworm".
**"Skin Flesh" is also a possible reference to when Crayola renamed their color "Flesh" to "Peach" in 1962, partially to avoid racial discrimination.
*The band member wearing a bear mask is a reference to musician [[Wikipedia:John_Mayer|John Mayer]] who sometimes dresses in a bear costume in order to meet and talk with fans before concerts without the fans realizing who he is.
*"Montesodium" is [[Portmanteaus|portmanteau]] of the words "Montessori" and "Monosodium".
**[[Wikipedia:Montessori_method|Montessori Schools]] are a very progressive and non-traditional schooling system used in many private schools throughout the world. It focuses on allowing children to learn at their own pace and doing away with perceived forms of competition like grading.
**[[Wikipedia:Monosodium_glutamate|Monosodium glutamate]] is a common food additive frequently called "MSG".
*Homestar leaving to go read "[[Pie|pie]] pie comics" may mean he wants to read [[Wikipedia:Popeye|Popeye]] comics.
*The coloring book makes mention of staying at the [[Wikipedia:Ramada|Ramada]], a well-known hotel chain.
*When Strong Bad refers to Marzipan as Goody Marzipan, the word "Goody" means [[Wikipedia:goodwife|goodwife]], a courtesy title of married women.
*It's Grilla Time is a reference to "It's Miller Time", which is a famous slogan of [[wikipedia:Miller Brewing|Miller Brewing Company]]. It's also why they're holding beers at the time.

==The Magical Spit-Bubble==
When Strong Sad Has A Spit-Bubble Stuck In His Throat, His Voice Goes Ultra-Deep. Yet, When Homestar Has A Spit-Bubble In His Throat, His Voice Goes Ultra-High, In Fact, Exactly Like Marzipans. Shouldn't both Their Voices Go One Way? -- [[User:Assassinator666|Assassinator666]] 07:46, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

:I don't want to delve too deep into the physics of voice altering spit bubbles here (because I know squat about that), but I don't know why this should not be possible. It's, uhm, also funnier this way.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 10:35, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

::OBEY THE FUNNY! Also, save this Flash file to your computer, in case this goes the way of the [[Broken Compy Menu]]. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 12:18, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
:::I did an experiment about what spit bubbles in your throught make you sound like. They make yoyu sound kinda like Stitch. Or, If your yelling, Strong Mad.

-Alex H.

It's a reference to the Princess Bride, where the guy in the Pit of Despair has a similar problem with his voice, no? --[[User:66.213.14.20|66.213.14.20]] 23:56, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

:That gag was pulled in PB, and that's probably one of the more famous examples, but I'm not sure if it was the first or a reference or anything. [[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]
::As a fan of The Princess Bride, I doubt it's a reference. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:53, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

==Dolph's Phone Number==
Also, The Phone Number For The Axe-Training Poster, I Found Out, Is The Same As Daniel Ortega From The N.I.P . I Have NO Idea Why I Looked This Up. -- [[User:Assassinator666|Assassinator666]] 10:07, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

:Whoever Daniel Ortega from the N.I.P. is, he does not want to be called (the number [[Wikipedia:555 telephone number|does not exist]]).{{User:Loafing/sig}} 10:35, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

== Unlinked ==

Is it notable that this is not linked from anywhere except the main page oval? How would we note it if it is? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 13:59, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

:This is not a short!

::I've changed the category to reflect that it isn't in the TV Guide at all. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 14:10, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

== Munchy munchy ==

Is it safe to assume that this is another instance of the KOT eating people's property?--{{User:The4sword/sig}} 19:42, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
:Another? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::[[3 Times Halloween Funjob]] comes to mind. And [[suntan]]. Though I'm not sure this necessarily qualifies as a running gag. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:59, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
:::This fits in so neatly with his character that these need only be mentioned on his character page. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 20:02, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
:No, it is not safe to assume that. Assumptions are rarely safe. Especially since the KOT said he did not eat it, and he called in about the guitar licks. Not to mention with all the voice impersonation going on, we can't even say it was the KOT at all. --[[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 05:12, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

== Guitar fun fact ==

I liked this fact (although would suggest it be reworded by someone better than me):
*"Furious Fingers" claims to have 17 guitars with 43 necks. With a ratio of roughly 2.5 necks per guitar, he must own several triple necked guitars and likely a few doubles as well.
The notable thing isnt so much the presence of the guitars, but the sheer number of multi-necked ones (if only 3 neck and one necked, then 13 would have to be triple, or 8 double and 9 triple), which strikes me (although i will admit that I am musically challenged at best) as a bit odd. Assuming no more than 3 necks per guitar (which I accept is wrong, but more seems to be rare from the Wikipedia [[Wikipedia:Double neck guitar|article]]), over half have to be triple for this to work. [[User:DumbMuscle|DumbMuscle]] 19:52, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
:Multiple-necked guitars are not so unusual - especially back in the 80's, you saw them quite a bit. Is it unusual for someone who collects guitars to have a lot of them? I guess it comes down to this: it doesn't seem notable because it's obvious from context that many of the guitars have to have multiple necks. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:58, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
::Well, im no math genious, but hwen it comes to guitars, i know guitars. [http://www.engadget.com/2004/10/30/music-thing-the-triple-neck-guitar/ here] is a real triple neck guitar for those doubting their existance. --{{User:Choc-O-Lardiac_Arrest/sig}} 21:56, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
:::Okay, this is why wikis should be a bit more down-to-earth. Here we are, talking about double and triple necked guitars, but we never gave the idea of the KoT PLAYING A GUITAR!?! Especially a 'lectric one. A, he's got no talent (sides eating), and B, he's not exactly cool. We seriously need to be more down-to-earth. Not kidding, guys. {{User:Sluggy42/sig}} 00:35, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
::::Well, there was that Sketchbook image that showed the KoT as a member of ZZ Top... {{User:The_Spainish_Inquisition/sig}} 01:59, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

== What have I done? ==

Dear god, what have I done? I email a completly random thing to SB, and then THIS happens. I feel sick. Then again, the lappy needed to go. I think it was having an affair with Marzipan's answering machine. [[User:Cessna Man!|Cessna Man!]] 21:40, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

== Future Category ==

So far this toon is only linked from the main page, but that is expected to change once the Brothers Chaps finish this story arc. While it will probably end up as a "Short", would it also be acceptable to classify this as a "Not-Quite-Strong-Bad-Email"? --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 15:45, 25 Sept 2006 (PDT)

:Well, it is categorized as such now. The categories are based on the TV Time menu on the site. As this is not in that (yet), it's premature to classify it as a Big Toon, Short or whatever. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:57, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

==Crocodile Neighba==
Sorry, I didn't realize that had been added/removed before. But aside from that, I think it's a pretty clear reference to "Pearls Before Swine." The crocodile next-door neighbors regularly appear in the strip trying to trick Zebra. I don't think TBC would just pull a crocodile next door asking to borrow a cup of sugar out of thin air. [[User:128.227.130.28|128.227.130.28]] 04:48, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
:I thought of this ref too, but didn't add it for whatever reason. Lazy, perhaps. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::I've read PBS daily until about a year ago, and I don't think there's a reference here. I mean, Homestar is not trying to trick SB. Sure, it sounds as if it could be a reference, but Homestar might just as well be weird as usual.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 04:55, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
:::It didn't occur to me on its own, but it does make a certain amount of sense after hearing it. Perhaps someone with a user name a bit more sure could STUFF it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:07, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
::: I don't think it is a reference to PBS because the crocodile next door is always trying to ''eat the zebra'', not make cookies.
::::Homestar, however, wants to make "puppy cookies". --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::::'''Edit Conflict'd!''' Those crazy crocs also talk in a funny accent [http://www.comics.com/comics/pearls/archive/pearls-20060910.html]. Ah, I shouldn't have stopped reading it.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 05:19, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
::: Also, the crocodiles try to trick Zebra into coming over to their house or letting them into his house, usually by asking him to do something that seems innocuous (like borrowing a cup of sugar). And since (until "Marzipan" turns out to be Homestar) the message is a parody of Strong Bad leaving ridiculous prank calls on Marzipan's answering machine, the reference seems to fit nicely. [[User:128.227.130.28|128.227.130.28]] 05:27, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

== Strong Bad's Phone Number ==

Based on the tones I'm hearing at the start of the e-mail, it seems like Strong Bad's phone number is 415-6715. Is that something worthy of putting in the Fun Facts Somewhere? --[[User:Hyrulian|Hyrulian]] 04:58, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
:Usually, this kind of ferreted out stuff would be a cool fun fact. I suggest that we don't add it for the sake of the poor person who owns this number. Well done, anyway! How did you find this out? Perfect hearing? {{User:Loafing/sig}} 05:09, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
::Yeah, I'd agree on that point. Poor person getting phone calls for Strong Bad. Anyway yeah, I was just listening carefully to the sounds on the toon and comparing it to the sounds on my cell phone. (Funny thing is, I actually kinda had an approximation on what the number might have been just based on listening to the tones on the toon many times, I guess I'm such a geek...) Another way to find out would be to probably try sending the sounds of that e-mail to your pager or cell phone as a numeric page and see what number comes out, although the sound quality of the toon might not be good enough for that. --[[User:Hyrulian|Hyrulian]] 18:04, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

==Marzipan?==
I think Marzipan should be included in the cast list, since it's obviously Marzipan's voice, even if it's a joke that it's really homestar just sounding like Marzipan. It's clearly Missy Palmer's voice. [[User:Dwedit|Dwedit]] 05:09, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
:So what? Is it Marzipan? No. Therefore it would not be factual for us to include her. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:02, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

==Transcript's Voice Identification==
The specific question at hand is whether a not-yet-recognizable voice should be identified in the transcript as who it is later revealed to be. My thought would be that the transcripts here should read as much as possible like a viewing of the toon (which is the larger question at hand, the alternative viewpoint being, I suppose, that they should reflect some sort of absolute truth), in which case homestar's first sentence or two should be attributed to Marzipan (or, a compromise I would prefer, to "Marzipan's voice"). Likewise, Strong Sad's first sentence would be attributed to "Deep Scary Voice" or something like that. [I don't know how to make a signature|sorry] 03:02, 26 September 2006 (EST)
:We usually try, as you put it, to "reflect some sort of absolute truth", so the way it is  is fine. To make a signature, just type a string of tilde characters: four if you want a time stamp with it (generally preferred, but by no means mandatory) or three if you don't. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 07:17, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
:: We at least recognize this in the [[Subtitles:lappynapped/en|subtitles]], where the "distorted voice" and "Marzipan" are counted separately from the actual speakers. But that's more due to the nature of the subtitles, I suppose; it'd ruin the joke for those with subtitles on otherwise. As for the transcript, in most cases, it can be assumed that the reader of the transcript has previously watched the 'toon. At least, I think. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 07:25, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
:Our transcript on the toon's page is not meant to equate the experience, nor can it even try to. It's a documentation, and as such it's fine as is. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:00, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
::And guys, usually whoever is reading this wiki knows what the page is talking about. {{User:Sluggy42/sig}} 19:34, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

==Reverse prank call?==
At first, when you hear 'homestar's' message, it sounds like Marzipan is leaving a prank call on Strong Bad's answering machine, in a reversal of the usual role. [[User:Dwedit|Dwedit]] 14:48, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah, I was busting out laughing when I got to that part! --[[User:Hyrulian|Hyrulian]] 18:06, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

== Homestar next door? ==

We know so little about the exact lay of the land in Free Country, USA. Does this toon prove that Homestar and the Brothers Strong are actual next-door neighbors?
:I don't think that can be proved without actually seeing both houses next to each other. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:Plus, he says it's the crocodile. Apart from this reflecting on Homestar's personality, It really means that a crocodile lives there. Not that there is... But I really think TBC should give us a map of FCUSA. {{User:Sluggy42/sig}} 19:32, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[[Image:stinkoman.PNG|thumb|220px|"Are you asking for a challenge?!"]]

{{aboutcharacter}} {{forgame|Stinkoman 20X6}}

[[Image:stinkoman20X6normal.PNG|left|Looking for challenge]]
'''Stinkoman''' (also spelled '''Stinko Man''') is [[Strong Bad]]'s [[20X6]] counterpart. He is an amalgam of anime clichés, including blue hair, big eyes, a blocky sort of body and an obsession with challenging and fighting. His [[japanese cartoon|birthday]] is on the sixth of January, one week before [[dragon|Trogdor's]]. His greatest fight was against [[Sticklyman]] from [[Under Construction]], who wasn't much of a challenge. However, he seemed to be afraid of [[Trogador]] and for the first time backed down from a "birthday challenge". He seems more than willing to eat dirt, since he has done so on more than one occasion. Stinkoman apparently has a [[Cell Phone|cell phone]], as he claims to when he invites [[Marzipan]] to a challenge in [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 8.0]]. He has the ability to call his ship, the Stinkowing, when he whistles. He was introduced in [[japanese cartoon]], but his name was first mentioned in [[island]], where [[Homestar Runner]] called Strong Bad "Stinkoman". Compared to how Strong Bad [[Homestar Runner and Strong Bad's Relationship|treats]] Homestar in the present era, Stinkoman treats [[1-Up]] well, but is still somewhat intolerant of him. Stinkoman is also referred to as "The Guy".

His only [[Halloween Costumes|Halloween costume]] (or "[[Wikipedia:Cosplay|cosplay]]") was [[Wikipedia:Speed Racer|Speed Racer]], featured in [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].

[[Image:Mega Man & Stinkoman.PNG|thumb|220px|Stinkoman vs. Mega Man]]
Stinkoman is very similar in build to the classic Mega Man, who also had blue hair at one point. Several of Stinkoman's more famous lines, such as "Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you asking for a challeeeeeeeeenge?!" or "No way, you're just a kid! Maybe when you're older", are surprisingly similar to those said by Tengu Man, a [[Wikipedia:Boss (video games)|boss enemy]] from [http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/game/20148.html Mega Man 8], such as "It's just a kid, don't make me laugh!" and "Are you worthy of my challenge?", both in content and voice intonation.

The line "No way, you're just a kid! Maybe when you're older!" is also used several times in the anime movie ''[[Wikipedia:Akira (film)|Akira]]'' (or some variation, depending on the translation). The 20X6 and Akira connection is seen again later in the Easter egg for [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]].
[[Image:StinkomanPlussign.png|thumb|right|150px|"plus sign - endowed grill"]]

When Stinkoman grits his teeth, [[Wikipedia:plus sign|plus signs (+)]] make up the cracks between them. The character [[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong|Donkey Kong]] in the original [[Wikipedia:Donkey Kong (arcade game)|Donkey Kong arcade game]] is known for using the "+" character in a similar fashion to indicate the separate teeth in his mouth.

Stinkoman also stars in the game [[Stinkoman 20X6]], which [[The Brothers Chaps]] introduced in the [[NYU_Talk_-_1_Mar_2005|NYU Talk]] and later released on the website. Stinkoman's sprite in the game Stinkoman 20X6 is in fact an edit from the original [[Wikipedia:Mega Man (character)|Mega Man]] sprite for the [[Wikipedia:Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]].

According to [[alternate universe]], he is friends with [[Vector Strong Bad]], who functions as his "training simulator".

Talk:trading cards

Gus — Wed, 13 Sep 2006 07:52:40 GMT

Gus: /* Play Get */

== Possible goof? ==

At the end of the email, you can click the sticky notes, but nothing happens. When I say that, I meen that if I press tab, a yellow square cyles betweene the real cards, and the sticky notes.
[[User:Cessna Man!|Cessna Man!]] 21:09, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
:They work fine for me; clicking on them lets you get a closer look at the sticky notes. The Brothers Chaps probably fixed it just now, so try refreshing your browser. {{User:Kilroy/sig}} 21:24, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

== Butt-Pattingness ==

This email's gonna save [[Butt Patting]] big time. -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|Brightstar]] 21:26, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

== There isn't any three-L Palllor ==

Okay, I just noticed something that made some of my other edits seem a tad hasty. In this email, it's spelled "Palor", but on [[Strong Sad's Lament]], it's "Pallor" (as the Wiki had previously spelled it.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:57, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

:Pallor is the correct and original spelling. This spelling is most likely an accident. I'm not saying it ''is'', but it most likely is an accident. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 22:59, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

::Guess what. It was an accident. TBC have changed the spelling from "palor" to "correct". {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 09:27, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

== Way, Way Off? ==

Changed "...this ''way off'' STING of Town..." to "...this ''rare'' STING of Town..."

I understand how one could've interpreted it as "way off", but I believe that "rare" is a much more likely word to appear here, seeing as how Homestar was talking about the trading of cards, wherein rarity is a large factor. --[[User:Proxtown|Proxtown]] 23:16, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

== stong-gum ==

should the fact that Daniel spelled "strong" incorrectly go in funfacts? [[User:Superplough|Superplough]] 23:48, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

I say no. People are all the time mispelling Strongbad's name, so it's hardly a new thing now. [[User:Foolster41|Foolster41]]
: For example, they'll write it as one word even though it is [[myths & legends|two words. Two different words that are not one word; that are "Strong" and "Bad".]] --{{User:Jay/sig}} 00:20, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

== Wooden background? ==

This is just the top of Strong Bad's computer desk. Would it be clearer to identify it as such? --[[User:Bigscarymike|BigScaryMike]] 02:36, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
:Well spotted. Done.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 02:59, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

== Slip of the pen ==
[[Image:SB_Dino_09.png|thumb|Drawing outside the lines]]
I thought it was interesting that on the following sticky note, part of the drawing is on Homestar's shirt. This could be (a) a goof, (b) an indication that Strong Bad drew some of the "trading cards" after attaching the sticky notes to Homestar, or (3) I'm overanalyzing a blown-up screenshot and I should go to bed. Good night. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 06:57, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
:It's nearly impossible to make out if you don't zoom in. And as you said, SB could have drawn it after he stuck the note on Homestar. So I think we'll put it in the "cool discovery, but sadly not article material" drawer. Would have been a nice goof, though.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 11:11, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
::We added even minorer goofs to pages. I say we also add this one. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 12:58, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
:::Yeah. Why not just remarkify it? —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 13:22, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
::::I think the joke was the Homestar already had the other sticky notes before the email began (and thus affixed them to himself), which would make this a goof, not just a remark. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 16:54, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

== Ball-derdash ==

In continuing with the Pokemon references, is it worth noting that Cheatball probably echoes 'Pokeball'? -Grover Junior
:I don't think so, since Poke Balls are just containers for Pokemon. I don't think there is a direct connection here. There could be, of course, but we don't know.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 10:32, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
::The way he throws the Cheatball does seem very similar to the throwing of a Poke Ball as seen in the cartoon and considering TBC's usual aptitude for dead-on parodies, "Cheatball" is an un-Pokemonish sounding name.-Grover Junior
:::Two good points. Not sure if this is still speculation, though. What does everybody else think? Oh, and you should create a user account, Grover Junior, it'll make editing easier for you. I know you want to ;-) {{User:Loafing/sig}} 11:08, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
::::I think it ''is'' a reference to Pokeballs. The shape, name, throw. everything adds up together. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 12:57, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
:::::Yeah, it ''did'' occur to me, but didn't seem strong enough for me to add. However, Grover Jr.? People who are not logged in are not allowed to participate in STUFF, so make sure you're logged in first! --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:02, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

== Cheatball's voice ==

Is it just me, or does it sound like the Cheatball is voiced by Missy Palmer? I heard it while I was looking at another browser (which allows me to focus more on the sound), and it sounded very much like her voice saying "Cheatball".--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 16:13, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

: I would disagree that it sounds like Missy, I doubt that she did the voice on this one. I have a voice that is very similar to Matt's (and I do voice acting too) and wouldn't be a bit surprised to find out that he did this voice too. It's much like a Jigglypuff voice. -The Shadow

== Number of Conversations ==

This may be just another profitless discussion guys, but when I watched the cartoon for the first time (and subsequent times) I thought that Homestar said that they had this conversation "Twenty-five" times, and it surprised me when I saw the transcript state "thirty-five." This is probably something that can't be resolved except by the Brothers Chaps, since essentially Homestar says "unny-five" and isn't very clear. At least not to myself. -The Shadow

:I'm pretty sure it's "twenty-five".
:: I'm hearing ''thirty''-five, and I'm confident enough that I'm changing it back. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:04, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
:::I'm heavily leaning toward twenty-five. I don't heat the T and W sounds (and neither a TH sound), but I ''definetly'' hear the E sound, like "enty-five". {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:11, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
::::But I'm hearing the "ooty" (which is as close as H*R would ever come to "irty".) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:13, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
:::::Ok, here's another prove: There are 23 stiky notes on Homestar, plus two that fell off. That make '''25''' note, of one per conversations. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:28, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
::::::Ooooooh, well done! I thought SB was just askin' a rhetorical question!
:::::::Sounds like thirty-five to me, with his usual speech impediments (thowty-five?). Even if there are 25 sticky notes in view, that doesn't mean that's all of them--there could be others on the side away from the viewer.--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 19:33, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
::::::::Tough call, but I lean towards "thirty-five". {{User:Trey56/sig}} 20:54, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::Cosign. [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 22:10, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::Well done, Elcool. I recounted, and you're right. But I still think he says "thorty five".{{User:Loafing/sig}} 22:29, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::::I concentrated very hard on listening to that phrase, and I'm with 35. {{User:Bluebry muffin/sig}} 22:38, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::::Definitely "35". I'm not hearing a "twenty" anywhere in there. {{User:Saturn/sig}} 23:31, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::::::Add another vote for "35". I can hear 25 if I try, but it sounds much more like 35 to me. {{User:Phlip/sig}} 01:34, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

==My comments==

Who removed my comments about the complications of card games? I was only agreeing with the email. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 16:49, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

==Thirty-Five?==

I don't know about you, but I clearly heard "Twenty-Five" [[User:DeFender1031|DeFender1031]] 17:23, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
: Look two topics up. And I still say it's thirty. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 17:23, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
::And I still agree with Jay. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

== Hey, isn't this...==

Isn't this the first appearance of the Cheatball (appart from the games menu)? That could be a fun fact, if you weren't already considering it.
:It's there under trivia.--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 19:35, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Ah, didn't see that.

== Play Get ==

I think this is a reference to "Shine Get!" of Super Mario Sunshine, Japanese version, which would appear on the player's screen when they collected a Shine Sprite. Looks similar enough to be a real-world reference to me, what do you guys think?
*Doubt it. [[User:Danny Lilithborne|Danny Lilithborne]] 22:12, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
*I couldn't find where when I looked for it earlier, but I'm quite confident that something similar to this was deleted after consensus or STUFFed and declined in a previous 'toon. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:13, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
::Perhaps ''Cherry Get'' from [[Sundae Drivin']]?[[User:Geshmalderborgen|גשמלדרברגן]] 22:18, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
:::That occurred to me, but I think it's older than that. And... there's nothing on [[redesign]]'s talk page about it. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 22:23, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
::::There is a comment about it in redesign's real world references, though. Which says it's just a generic Japanese video game thing, not anything from one specific game. Don't really know if it's worth bringing up here, too... {{User:Saturn/sig}} 23:24, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
:::::Using the word "get" in that way *is* a generic Japanese video game thing, but only because it's a generic Japanese language thing. 『Ｘ』ゲットis used as an exclamation to mean that one has obtained 『Ｘ』. Since the word ゲット was imported from English, however, Japanese video game programmers are likely to believe that the phrase "'X' get!" is used in English as well, hence leaving the phrase untranslated.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{singing}'' A-when you dribble down the court with an email, you leave your dreams at the top of the keeey. ''{brings up the email}''

<blockquote class="lappy email">
<div>subject: Trading Stong-gum</div>
Hey Strongbad- 
You should have trading cards...With a stick of gum in them. 
Nerdly yours, 
Daniel, 
N.S. CANADA
</blockquote>

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' Let me guess, it—

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''CHEATBALL''': Cheatball!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ...a "get outta my face" for this...

''{Cut to Strong Bad drawing on a sticky note, with the Lappy in front of him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' uhhhh...

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{offscreen}'' ...one of a kind Strong Bad bench-pressing dinosaurs collector's card.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{offscreen}'' Hooo-ray!

''{Cut back to Strong Bad on his Lappy, with Homestar Runner next to him. Homestar is covered in sticky notes with Strong Bad and dinosaurs on them.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' My collection is complete! And ''here'', my good man, is your "get outta your face". ''{runs off}''

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. After some time has passed...}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' How many times have we had that conversation?

''{Homestar Runner quickly pops his head back into the screen.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{quickly}'' Thirty-five!

''{disappears again quickly}''

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

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

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

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

===Fixed Goofs===
*When this email was first released, "Pallor" was spelled as "Palor" on Strong Sad's playing card. This has since been fixed.
*When this email was first released, clicking on the sticky notes at the end did nothing. This was changed shortly thereafter.

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

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

Gus: /* Booterscotch fuzz = Mike? */

==The car==
Would it be too much of a stretch to infer that the Gremlin (mentioned in this toon to be Bubs's car) is the car that The Cheat won from Bubs in the Easter egg in [[pop-up]]? It's kinda speculatory, but it's possible it's a reference, it all fits together... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:50, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
: Not main page material, but it's an interesting thought. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 06:55, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
:(Edit Conflict) No, it's not too much of a stretch. The Cheat wins the car for Strong Bad ("Now get back in there and win me a car!"), and both SB and TC treat the car as SB's in this email. It was also only 10 emails away.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 06:56, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
::What about Strong Bad already being seen in the car in [[dangeresque 3]]? --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::Dangeresque 3 was years before The Cheat won the car. They could have just borrowed it from Bubs back then (which is what they could have done now as well, of course).{{User:Loafing/sig}} 07:44, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
::::Then how did he get out of it when he had finished that scene if the doors and windows are broken? [[User:210.54.74.240|210.54.74.240]] 07:52 PM, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
:::::The cameraman, or The Cheat, or someone could have opened it for him, perhaps? {{User:Phlip/sig}} 08:00, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
::::::It's entirely possible that the doors and windows weren't busted back then.

::If it is, what happened to the key that Bubs gave The Cheat when he won the car, I wonder?--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 18:26, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
:::And if The Cheat was the one who won the car, Bubs would have told him about the doors and windows, not Strong Bad.[[User:68.239.233.57|68.239.233.57]] 12:56, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
::::The Cheat won the car for Strong Bad, so he would be the one looking after the keys. And The Cheat never said he didn't know about the broken windows and doors.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 02:29, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
:::::Strong Bad says he doesn't have any keys in a manner that implies he doesn't know anything about them (rather than having forgotten or lost them), so presumably The Cheat never gave the key to him.--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 05:13, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

== Honk 'em if ya got 'em or smoke 'em if ya got 'em? ==

I remember a cigarette company whose motto was "Smoke 'em if ya got 'em". Possibly a real-world reference? {{User:Steve/sig}} 11:19, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

:It's also a song by Parkway Drive, apparently. We'll see if it gets stuff'd. — {{User:Lapper/sig}} 12:19, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

:More likely just a cross between the saying "Flaunt 'em (it) if you got 'em (it)" and the various "Honk if..." bumper stickers. [[User:Octan|Octan]] 20:37, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

: Smoke 'em if you got 'em is a very famous quote. I'm sure i remember hearing it on Saturday morning cartoons like Bugs Bunny {{unsigned|JamesDean|01:07, 7 September 2006}}

==Forwards Compatible==

Yet another of Strong Bad's lack of knowledge of modern technology. Loved that part, and the part about the "other world, with another The Cheat and Strong Bad...stuck in a Gremlin". Best part of the whole toon. [[User:Retromaniac|Retromaniac]] 17:04, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't think Strong Bad actually knew that forward compatible was a real term--I think he was skewing backwards compatible. Before reading this page, I assumed he had made it up.
However, this conflicts with the idea that Strong Bad is technologically impaired, as backwards-compatible electronics have really only become an issue with new generations of gaming consoles. Perhaps TBC were living vicariously through him? --[[User:Dragoon5464|Dragoon5464]] 05:37, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

:When I first watched the email, I already knew that the term was real. I also believe that TBC thought it wasn't. It sounds as if SB is just making it up. But that's really pure speculation, and we've got no reason to include that in the article. {{User:Loafing/sig}} 07:59, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

::I think that Strong Bad knew the term was real, and I think he knew that the 8-track player wouldn't play a CD-R. --[[User:Jecowa|Jecowa]] 21:59, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

== New Fun fact ==

I noticed that the email isn't on the email menu yet. Someone put that one in, please.
:It's showing up there for me, try clearing your cache or something. {{User:Saturn/sig}} 22:55, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

== How long's it been? ==

I think this is the first time in a while that Strong Bad has ended his e-mail with an "Until next time" comment. Is anyone not-lazy enough to check out when the last time was that he did that? --[[User:ComputerBox|ComputerBox]] 22:27, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
:It's been about 4 years. See also [[Until Next Time...]]. The first thing I thought of when I heard that was the wiki page. I doubt that's why he said it though. —{{User:Mibluvr13/sig}} 22:46, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

== Transposition of Bubs & Coach Z ==

Is this the second time that the distinction between Bubs and Coach Z has been blurred by Strong Bad? (1st time being the Coach B/Zubs project from ''current status'') Have there been other times this has happened? Has the line ever been fuzzy for other characters too? Is this just a reference to the Coach B/Zubs Project or an emerging inside joke?
: I don't think the two are related at all - Coach Z and Bubs are simply best friends and hang out together a lot, and perhaps that's where SB's little joke came from. I think it's only coincidentally similar to Coach B/Zubs. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 01:42, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
::[[current status]] was not Strong Bad confusing the two, it was him actually switching the pair's heads, which would require him to ''not'' be confusing them, clearly. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 02:10, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
:::Well you'll note that neither the first nor second post claimed that SB was "confusing" them. The original post just said that SB was blurring the distinction between them, which certainly is the case. He was giving them each attributes of each other. I'm not necessarily claiming that it's a reference or an inside joke, however.
Thank you for the clarification of my original post-- I did only mean blurring. Further, I mearly ask the question of all of you: could this be an emerging inside joke or perhaps the second instance of a new running gag? (I am looking for more instances of blurry treatment of the two characters.) Although it is a subtle point, does anyone else think that it deserves comment within the write-up for this Strong Bad e-mail?--[[User:Solwyvern|Solwyvern]] 20:49, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
:I still say coincidence. It's come up before that one character is referred to as ("I want my own cartoon, Pom Pom," to Strong Bad, [[the facts|for instance]]) or compared with ("Everyone's favorite blue midget Homestar: Homsar!" is [[for kids|an example]]) another. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:34, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
::I disagree with Homsar and Homestar being that much of a problem. Homsar was just created because of a misspelling of Homestar in an email, so he would be a blue midget Homestar. --{{User:Super Martyo Brother/sig}} 22:06, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps it is coincidence; however, your first example is just Homestar being confused-- something that happens all the time. Your second is a fact: Homsar IS a midget version of Homestar turned blue. Coach Z is not a green version of Bubs (nor is Bubs an orange version of Coach Z), and clearly Strong Bad is not confused as was Homestar in ''the facts''. This gag was very deliberate; The Brothers clearly had Strong Bad say "Bubs? Green Bubs?" Then they reinforced the reference within the easter egg (I wonder how Bubs & Coach Z knew about it?) Maybe there is nothing to this, but I am interested to see if it ever comes up again.--[[User:Solwyvern|Solwyvern]] 22:15, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
== Maxymoronically oxymoronic ==

Why does every anonny think that it's acceptable to delete the "Strong Bad doesn't use the word 'maxymoronic' to refer to an oxymoron" part of the fact? No named user seems to have a problem with it. Is there something wrong with it that I don't see? --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:43, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
:Not as far as I can see... Maybe there's a subliminal message that only works on IPs... --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
::Maybe because it's obviously not referring to an oxymoron, since jumbo/LARGE is not an oxymoron, and therefore is an overclarification?--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 05:18, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
::: As the fact said in the first place. Then some IP removed it, so I reworded it. Then some other IP removed it, so I tried permutating and rewording it in various ways before the IPs finally gave up. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 05:37, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

== Jumbo Shrimp? ==

First thing I thought of when StrongBad used the maxymoron "Jumbo-LARGE" was the oxymoron "Jumbo-Shrimp". Am I the only one who thought that? Is this worthy of a note on the Wiki? (Should I just add it? I was told to post it here on the discussion page first ...)
: First time the possibility occurred to me was right now when I read this. I'm willing to chalk it up to coincidence. (By the by, "Jumbo shrimp" isn't a ''true'' oxymoron, as "shrimp" is used in reference to the aquatic crustacean that people eat, not a short person, but it's frequently called an "oxymoron" humorously.) --{{User:Jay/sig}} 19:53, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
::That hadn't occured to me either before I read your comment. I say STUFF it. -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|Brightstar Shiner]] 20:24, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
:: I did think of that immediately when viewing the e-mail. It is a common enough reference in our culture to suspect that The Brothers were at least aware of it while composing the e-mail if they weren't playing off it directly.--[[User:Solwyvern|Solwyvern]] 20:58, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
::: Actually, shrimp meant a small version of something before it referred to any specific crustacean. Being that shrimp are the smallest in the lobster/crayfish/prawn continuity, they were called 'shrimp crayfish' or 'shrimp lobsters' or something to that effect.
:::: Perhaps, but that's not the point. Shrimp is not being used in that context as something small; it's being used as the name of the crustacean. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:51, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
:::::Also shrimp is primarily an American term--most English-speaking countries call them prawn. Jumbo shrimp in particular are usually called king prawn elsewhere, I believe. According to Miriam-Webster [http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=shrimp], the origin is an Old Norse word meaning "to shrivel up". --[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 05:27, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
::::::Yeah well...did anybody else presume that maybe TBC just thought that nonsence up off the top of their heads and didn't intend for it to pertain to anything?-[[User:Brightstar Shiner|Brightstar Shiner]] 20:40, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
::::::Thank you! not everything is something [[User:JamesDean|JamesDean]] 01:29, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
:::::::Sometimes a cigar ''is'' just a cigar!--[[User:H-ko|H-ko]] 22:42, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

I thought that this was a very obvious reference, and was shocked not to find it in the "explanations" section. At least where I live, "Jumbo shrimp" is a stock example of an oxymoron, one of the four or five most well-known. It seems inconceivable to me that it was unintentional.
: Except that, as said before, "jumbo shrimp" is ''not'' a true [[Wikipedia:oxymoron|oxymoron]] - it just seems that way due to a different meaning of the word "shrimp". --{{User:Jay/sig}} 21:39, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

== Just Something ==

We don't have to add this, I just wanted to point out that Strong Bad or The Cheat never actually tried to open the doors. It's just a funny little tidbit I noticed. {{User:Cutepetsrus/sig}} 22:39, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

:We also don't point out that Homestar opened the door (with his [[Lack of Visible Arms|invisible hands]]) even though there is no visible door handle on the [[Gremlin]]. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 00:42, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

::Whoops, [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=road_trip&oldid=364822#Remarks we do]. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 00:43, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

==Powered by the SBemail??==

I think this is just me, but when The Cheat slams the CD into the 8 track player, the CD looks almost PBTC-ish. Could that be possible, or am I just hallucinating due to lack of sleep? {{User:Ten Ten/sig}} 23:29, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

:It looks a little odd to me, but not powered by the cheat. Maybe it's because it has no shading. --- {{User:The Joe/sig}} 23:36, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

::Maybe. If thats really the case, should it be mentioned anywhere under the fun facts? As a goof? {{User:Ten Ten/sig}} 23:40, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
:::I suppose it could. Other pages mention it whenever an object has inconsistant shading, so why not this one? - {{User:The Joe/sig}} 23:43, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
::::Works for me. I already put it up as a goof. {{User:Ten Ten/sig}} 23:44, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

==Spongebob Squarepants==

Is the scene where Strong Bad says:
"All right, you ready to go, The Cheat? Why is Strong Mad hiding under that not-originally-yellow-spotted sheet from Strong Sad's bedroom? Not my bedroom." A reference to [[Wikipedia:SpongeBob SquarePants|SpongeBob SquarePants]]? SpongeBob is yellow and square like the sheet that covered the Bull Honkey. {{unsigned|Blue Leopard|08:27, 8 September 2006}}

:Are you implying that Spongebob looks like a ... stained .. sheet? But seriously, the sheet looks nothing like Spongebob. Being a bit rectangular and having yellow spots does not make it look like a yellow sponge with pants and a face.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 08:40, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

==Tumbleweed==

The noise it makes as it rolls by in one scene is the exact same as in [[animal]]. --[[User:4.158.36.10|4.158.36.10]] 21:10, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
:Stick it in [[Sound Effects]], if it's not already there. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

==reference to highschool==
I don't know if it's just me but when he said the thing about the stain being a whole 'nother world with a whole 'nother Strong Bad and The Cheat it made me think of highschool when he said that before "middle school" they were paramecium living in free petri dish USA. Coincidentaly a stain is what you use to better identify cell parts when being veiwed under a microscope. Is this just an odd coincidence or a reference? Andrew911
:I'm in the "odd coincidence" column, myself. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 03:51, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
:Although I would credit Andrew with making an astute observation, I too have to come down in the “odd coincidence" column.--[[User:Solwyvern|Solwyvern]] 11:26, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

== Booterscotch fuzz = Mike? ==

[[Image:Mikebooterscotch.png|thumb|]] Watching the e-mail the first time 'round, I couldn't help but notice that the half-sucked booterscotch in desperate need of a shave resembles Mike's recent growth of facial hair. Anyone else agree? [[User:Gus|Gus]] 07:01, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
:That's quite a stretch. They don't look similiar at all.{{User:Loafing/sig}} 07:06, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
::Eh. I just thought it kinda looked like a scraggly beard and sideburns, which is exactly what he has. Is there a more recent pic of Mike anywhere? [[User:Gus|Gus]] 08:24, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Strongest Man in the World

Gus — Tue, 22 Aug 2006 00:08:22 GMT

Gus: /* Inside References */

[[Image:10years.PNG|thumb|"... Did nobody just see that?"]]
The Brothers Chaps celebrate 10 years of Homestar Runner, and our hero enters the Strongest Man in the World Contest yet again.

==Transcript==
{{inprogress}}
''{The cover page of [[Original Book]] appears. The book opens and the first page of appears.}''

''{Homestar Runner changes into his modern form. The book pans away to The Field.}''

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

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

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

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

''{Pan to the [[Gymnasium]], where Homestar Runner and Pom Pom are wearing aerobic gear and lifting weights.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Exercise, Pom Pom! Lemme see ya pour on that exercise! That strangest man in the world contest ain't gonna win itself!

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

''{Back to The Field, where Homestar Runner and Pom Pom are walking to the right.}''

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

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

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looks annoyed}'' Hey! ''{looks behind himself}'' W— wait. ''{looks annoyed again}'' Hey! ''{looks behind himself}'' W— wait. ''{looks annoyed again}'' Hey! ''{not annoyed}'' Wait—

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

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

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{looks surprised}''

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

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

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' ''{looks annoyed}'' Come on, Pom Pom!

== Easter Egg==
*Clicking the Gold Bowl at the end shows a screen with it much like the ones shown when Mr. Bland, Senor, and The Robot are introduced.

==Fun Facts==
===Explanations===
*The [[Wikipedia:New York Yankees|New York Yankees]] logo in the background of the easter egg is probably a reference to the fact that they have won 5 consecutive games against the [[Wikipedia:Boston Red Sox|Boston Red Sox]].
===Goofs===
*The "Golbol" in the easter egg has fake wood textures on only 2 of the 3 visible sides.
===Inside References===
*The entire toon is a modernization of the [[Original Book]].
*When Senor gets squished it says "[[Sblounskched]]".
*The song during the training scene is from [[montage]], and the outfit Homestar wears during this scene originally appeared in [[lady fan]].

Talk:Sketchbook

Gus: One and a half King of Towns

{{featuredarticle}}
== Museum Sketchbook ==

Would it be OK if someone moved the bottom section of this page to something like [[Sketchbook (Museum)]]? This page takes far too long to load on a dial-up internet connection. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 06:24, 9th of March 2005

:Hmm, I like keeping the museum ones here on the [[Sketchbook]] page, and instead moving the weekly sketchbook ones to a [[Weekly Sketchbook]] page. This would match our [[Weekly Fanstuff]] page. Any one else agree?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 10:20, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

::Actually, I like that idea, better than my own as well. Weekly Sketchbook matches the rest of the weekly updates, and is probably easier to change the links for. The only reason I suggested Sketchbook (Museum) was because I thought less pages linked/would link to it. But Weekly Sketchbook sounds great. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 18:08, 9 Mar 2005 (GMT)

:::Done, see [[Weekly Sketchbook]]. I fixed all the links as well.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:48, 9 Mar 2005 (MST)

''Note: The following is a copy/paste from the old Talk page''
Just a quick question. Who's gonna keep up with updating stuff like this? I know we're all busy with simply moving crap from there to here, but I dunne wanna lose anything that could be added, ya know? I'd update it myself, but I do most my wikistuff at work, so I can't make screenshots at all. -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 15:15, 19 Aug 2004 (MST)

:Yeah, I can do that tonight. I think I'll come up with a better format too. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:30, 19 Aug 2004 (MST)

::Guh-roovay. The current one is kinda stinky anywho. -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 16:00, 19 Aug 2004 (MST)

== Fun facts? ==

Is there room for a fun facts section on this page? The Tetherball'd TTGS death is a possible reference to the first season of South Park, when Kenny died in the exact same way. --[[User:Southpaw018|Southpaw018]] 18:46, 11 Nov 2004 (MST)

If there is, I vote Decline -[[User:Your Fuzzy God|Your Fuzzy God]] 10:20, 23 Nov 2004 (MST)
:Second'd this is extremly long already. But you can make a different aritcle and THEN put the link onto here. [[User:Sbmaniac|Sbmaniac]]

== "Tableization" ==

I'm glad there's finally a table for this section (as well as the weekly fanstuff.) The images being different sizes before the tables wasn't a necessarily a bad thing, I just thought it detracted from the page slightly. The use of tables did force those images that were on other sites (namely photobucket) to be uploaded to the wiki, which is a plus. I think must of us can agree that it looks better than before.
--[[User:The Paper|Teh P.]] 22:19, 11 Nov 2004 (MST)

== Comic-Book Style The Cheat==

With the introduction of the tables, I'm glad this image finally surfaced. I almost lost hope in that image ever being recovered, as it was the only image that I thought was never POSTERITY'd!! Due credit to [[User:Tom|Tom]].
--[[User:The Paper|Teh P.]] 22:19, 11 Nov 2004 (MST)

== Message to [[TBC]] from [[Jonathan Howe]] ==

Be sure to view the XML source of this file:
[http://www.homestarrunner.com/weeklies/weeklies.xml]

:I learned about this XML file when I was poking through these flash files: [http://www.homestarrunner.com/fanstuff.swf] & [http://www.homestarrunner.com/sketchbook.swf] when I found I couldn't view the image or the text when those two preceding files are saved remotely (i.e., on a hard drive.) '''Jonathan''' (I assume his last name is Howe, as he is a programmer) has left a message in a comment to the "'''Chapos'''" about the placement of certain "character shortcuts." He more or less 'signs' the comment with the words "Love, jonathan." I just found this rather amusing. Does anyone else? --[[User:The Paper|The Paper]] 20:37, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)

:Hmmm... Tricky. I like the base files though. Those can come in handy... [[User:Thunderbird L17|''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'']] 12:12, 30 Dec 2004 (MST)

== Halloween Costumes ==

If anyone can identify some of those halloween costumes from the museum sketchbook, (the last sketch), feel free to enter their names into the rollover title at the appropriate place saver. I can't really think of anything better at the moment, maybe I'll add them to the [[Halloween Costumes]] section or something later. Thanks. [[User:Thunderbird L17|''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'']] 12:12, 30 Dec 2004 (MST)

== Images with Subtitles ==

Shouldn't the images for the Sketchbook and Fanstuff ''not'' have the captions with them? If not, the "Title" column is pretty much useless. --[[User:Gafaddict|Gafaddict]] 21:24, 17 Feb 2005 (MST)

It does seem redundant. It is easier to remove the "title" column, but then that text can not be found during a search. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 23:14, 17 Feb 2005 (MST)

:Since the very beginning, we've always treated the text and image as one. That's how they appear, so that's how we've been reproducing them. And the additional text is for better searching. I do notice, however, that the [[Sketchbook]] article lacks the interesting descriptions the [[Weekly Fanstuff]] page affords.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:57, 19 Feb 2005 (MST)

==Moving the page==

Shouldn't this still be under simply a 'Sketchbook' page title? Perhaps it would make more sense to move The Museum Sketchbook to just that, a 'Museum Sketchbook' page or something. I mean, when you roll over the button on the main page, all that pops up under it is just 'Sketchbook'. We're not going to change the name of 'Quote of the Week' to just 'Weekly Quote' are we? (Sorry I missed the discussion on the [[Sketchbook]] page) [[User:Thunderbird L17|''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'']] 15:31, 12 Mar 2005 (MST)

:Er, good point. So you're thinking we should move Weekly Sketchbook --> Sketchbook and Sketchbook --> Museum Sketchbook. That makes sense to me, but then again so did moving the weekly sketchbook section to this page. What do you think?[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 12:01, 13 Mar 2005 (MST)
::I second Tom--[[User:flashstorm|flashstorm]] 12:34, 13 Mar 2005 (MST)

:::Yup. I appreciate the work you went to fixing all the links, and don't like to ask you to change them back, but it really makes sense to keep the names the website came up with. I third Tom. [[User:Thunderbird L17|''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'']] 14:17, 13 Mar 2005 (MST)

::::Fourth'd! </tgs> -- [[User:nintendorulez|nintendorulez]] 14:51, 28 Mar 2005 (MST)

:::::Okay, then unless anyone else wants to do it, or objects in the next few days, I'm gonna do the move. [[User:Thunderbird L17|''<tt>[[User:Thunderbird L17|⇔Thunderbird⇔]]</tt>'']] 19:41, 31 Mar 2005 (MST)

::::::It should be easy, since I went through and made sure all the links were correct for the first move. I would change all the "Sketchbook" links to "Museum Sketchbook" first, then move "Sketchbook" to "Museum Sketchbook". This will create a redirect at "Sketchbook" so you can move "Weekly Sketchbook" to "Sketchbook". Then when you change the "Weekly Sketchbook" links to "Sketchbook", it will be a bit easier. If you need any help, just ask.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 21:29, 2 Apr 2005 (MST)

== Sketch Descriptions? ==

Should we add descriptions to the sketches, like we did with the [[Weekly Fanstuff]]? Some people might have no idea what the sketches are of.--[[User:Lord Pikachon|The guy who's name you probably know]]

:It would be nice to have some links on some of the more obscure sketches (like Mashed Potato Jones or the Balding Man). <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 19:12, 7 Apr 2005 (MDT)

Okay, me, Trogga, and Homestar Coder have begun working on descriptions.--[[User:Lord Pikachon|Lord Pikachon]]

== Pawn of a hat? ==
I don't wat to start an edit war, but I just don't see [[Strong Sad]] as a game pawn in [[Image:problematics.PNG|this picture]]. I see it as Strong Sad's head shooting out of a magic hat. [[User:E.L. Cool|E.L. Cool]] 18:23, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:I see Strong Sad's head on a game pawn, and I definately don't see it coming out of a hat. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 18:26, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

::Me as well -- [[User:Tony Stony|Tony Stony]] 18:26, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:::I see what hes talking about. {{User:TotalSpaceshipGuy3/sig}}

::::I really wish I could find a picture on the internet, but it looks to me like SS is one of those toys that little kids play with. They're basically just comprised of a cylinder and a head. I don't know what they're called though. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 19:01, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

:::::Ooh, I know just the things. I think my grandmother still has 'em. I'll see if I can get a pic. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::::::I found [http://www.andertoons.com/images/blog/LittlePeople.jpg a picture]...anyone else think that's what the sketch of SS is? {{User:Trey56/sig}} 19:08, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

:::::::Yes, exactly! That's just what I was thinking, and have been since it was put up. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::::::::Does anyone know what they're called? (is it "Little People"?) I think we should probably mention this on the page. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 19:18, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

:::::::::I had those as a kid, and I recall them being called "Little People". {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:24, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

:::::::::They're Playschool Little People, I think. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

::::::::::[http://www.fisher-price.com/US/littlepeople/default_flash.asp Fisher-Price], actually. And they're no longer in that classic design. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:27, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

:::::::::::Add'd. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 19:31, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

==Computer Sketch==

Can somebody read that floppy to the right of Homestar on the Comp? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 23:40, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)
:Or can anybody read Basic? Does the summary mean anything in particular? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 17:42, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)
::Or know what brand of computer that is? {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 17:46, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

:::Just looked up the basic, " 160 vlin 12, 17 at 26". 160 is the line number of the command. It means draw a vertical line from y-coordinate 12 to y-coordinate 17 at x-coordinate 26. That compy looks like an Apple II to me (and I found the "vlin" thing on an Apple II page). {{User:Homestar Coder/sig}} 17:47, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

::::I've seen that PC before... Isn't that the one from [[Peasant's Quest Preview]]? Or is it the one from [[Puppet Time]]? --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 18:55, 7 October 2005 (BST)
:::::Okay, I updated the page with the info Coder found. And if anybody could zoom in and read that floppy or anything, that would be awsome. And after careful cross-scruiteny, it appears that the computer used in the Sketchbook is indeed the same used by the [[Videlectrix]] people, even on the same desk. The one difference is that the logo on the keyboard (I think it was the Apple logo) is strangely absent from the [[Videlectrix]] photo. Most likely to avoid any possible legal problems and simplify it up, since they were photoshopping the [[Peasant's Quest]] image onto the screen anyways. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 18:43, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

== Consistency in dates ==

I just noticed that the date abbreviations in this page are not consistent. In general I have seen pages use 3 letter abbreviations. This is the case for most months here except: Sept, June (listed as both June and Jun) and April (also listed as Apr). I suggest that we make them all be 3 character abbreviations no more. Sounds good? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 23:15, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
:Well since there was no mention either way i'm gonna go ahead and do it. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 06:45, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

== Mixed-up pictures ==

There's something wrong with my computer or something like that. In the Sketchbook window, I see the words "homestar ice crusher", but from there up it's the old picture of Strong Mad holding his mystical orbs. [http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/9644/sketchbookmessedup3wr.png 1] You guys are pretty computer-savvy, anyone know what's wrong? And if not, please don't blame me. --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 09:00, 24 December 2006 (EST). Well, it's actually 12:05 on January 27, 2006.
:A lot of users have been commenting on similar mysterious problems, and it likely surrounds your page cache and what cached version of what your browser is loading. In this case it's loading a recent .xml with an old picture. Try clearning your cache to see if that does the trick. I think that's what the other users recommend, and pretty much the only thing that would solve it. --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 06:13, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

== Commas vs. Periods ==

I'll grant that commas and periods are barely distinguishable from each other in the caption font. But you can tell the difference by looking very closely. Commas have the smallest tail imaginable. Compare:

[http://www.hrwiki.org/images/e/e9/20060119_sketchbook_orbs_up_yo.PNG orbs up, yo] 
[http://www.hrwiki.org/images/7/79/20060209_sketchbook_nice_inking_mike.PNG nice inking, mike] 
[http://www.hrwiki.org/images/8/81/20060216_sketchbook_none_shall_pass_eww.PNG none shall pass! eww.]

If you cannot see a slight dip (just a pixel or two) in the comma images, copy all three of them to MS Paint (or whatever), zoom in, and compare the commas and periods. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 03:53, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

== poopertrooper? ==

On the page, it says "poopertrooper" is a reference to Super Troopers. I think it's more likely it's a refernce to pooper scoopers. -[[User:Exhibit A|Exhibit A]] 23:39, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
:I thought of "pooper scooper" when I first saw it. Super Troopers, to me, seems a lot more unlikely. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 00:06, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[[IMDB:tt0247745|Super Troopers]] is a movie about state troopers, who's uniform is nowhere near to what the poopsmith wears. In science fiction, stromtroopers dress in a similar way to The Poopsmith. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 14:34, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
:There is no way storm troopers has any relevance here. Poopertrooper - pooper scooper is just as good as poopertrooper to super troopers. one has the same root of pooper, the other has same ending of trooper, storm trooper is just not even close and they don't look anything alike. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 14:37, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

:I thought it sounded like Koopa Troopas. - [[User:Volbeat A The Cheat|Volbeat A The Cheat]] 23:55, 17 March 2006(UTC)

::That seems like way too much of a stretch. If they wanted to reference Koopa Troopas, it probably would have said "Poopa Troopas". [[User:Exhibit A|Exhibit A]] 02:17, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

I vote Super Troopers. Its about police. The stormtrooper Poopsmith is obviously a form of police. Referencing pooperscoopers makes *no* contextual sense. I'm changing it back. [[User:Piscez]]

:Here's what bugs me. When you say, "this '''is''' a reference to..." you are stating something is fact. In this case, we all have our opinions, and each think ours are correct. The fact '''is''' that none of were there when TBC sketched this out and don't have a flippin' clue what they were refering to. Therefore, I propose the following revision:
==== Pooper Trooper Scooper Dooper Blooper ====
Sketches of [[The Poopsmith]] as a trooper, for [[disconnected]]. The caption could be a reference to the device [[Wikipedia:pooper-scooper|pooper-scoopers]], the movie [[Wikipedia:Super_Troopers|Super Troopers]], the [[wikipedia:Mario|Super Mario Brothers']] [[Wikipedia:Koopa|Koopa Troopas]], or the [[wikipedia:George_Lucas|George Lucas']] [[Wikipedia:Stormtroopers|stormtroopers]].

{{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 12:44, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

In general, users here seem to think "refers to" means "resembles". IRF is right; only TBC know for sure about what's a reference. Some are obvious, but I'm sure there are a lot of references we'll never get. And then there are a lot of things that resemble other things but TBC never were trying to refer to that thing. I think as a knowledge base we need to be a bit more conservative in how we decide references. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 12:50, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

''Stormtroopers'' seems the most obvious reference. Not the George Lucas kind, but rather the Hitler/Orwell kind. (Those of you who are still somewhat whippersnapperesque should be aware that the term predated ''Star Wars'' by a great many years.) Most of the other suggested references seem to be simple attempts to match up same or similar sounding words, rather than considering the actual ''context''. {{User:Bill/sig}} 17:03, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

:Storm troopers is what I was saying all along. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 17:32, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

ok then ''Sketches of [[The Poopsmith]] as a trooper, for [[disconnected]]. The caption could be a reference to the device [[Wikipedia:pooper-scooper|pooper-scoopers]], the movie [[Wikipedia:Super_Troopers|Super Troopers]], the [[wikipedia:Mario|Super Mario Brothers']] [[Wikipedia:Koopa|Koopa Troopas]], or [[Wikipedia:Stormtroopers|stormtroopers]] (from [[wikipedia:World_War_I|WWI]]).''

either way, its still spec at best, and in response to Bill, the usage of pooper cannot be ignored why else would TBC go from The Poopsmith to pooper if not trying to make a ryhme such as Super Trooper or refer to the legendary pooper scooper. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 17:48, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
:For the rhyme, perhaps. Just because the rhyme is funny. Doesn't have to be a reference to pooper or super. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 17:54, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

My two cents: Pooper Scooper and Stormtrooper are both meaningful enough to be included. "Super Trooper" and "Koopa Troopa" are both based on "Stormtrooper" and, thus, unnecessary. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 18:05, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Ahem. I would Like to add at this point that the Koopa Troopas were the second most common enemies (next to goombas) in the original Super Mario Bros., which came out BEFORE Star Wars: A New Hope. So if anything, Stormtroopers are based off of Koopa Troopas. (Very, very unlikely.) --{{User:The very strongest}} 12:35, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

:See my retraction above, storm troopers is a term that refers to certain soldiers at the end of WWI, which is pre-television. {{User:Invisible_Robot_Fish/sig}} 21:28, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

I like your idea, I R F, I vote that we go with that one. - [[User:Volbeat A The Cheat|Volbeat A The Cheat]] 04:36, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Ok, the opinions are vast so I think a good'ol vote is in order

== Super Suudsu Me ==

Feels like the 5-month-old suudsu is a reference to the French fry aging experiment in [[Wikipedia:Super Size Me|Super Size Me]]. But I haven't seen the film, so I don't know how direct the connection is. Anyone want to do a little fact-checking here? --[[User:TheNicestGuy|TheNicestGuy]] 17:54, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
:I haven't seen it either, but the fact that this was posted five months to the day after [[bedtime story]] was released says to me that nobody actually ''drank'' the suudsu or dumped it out, and it's just been sitting there. It actually reminds me of the old clichè of the guy with the extremely dirty bedroom finally trying to clean it up and pulling out a half-eaten sandwich or burrito from under the bed and exclaiming "So ''that's'' what happened to my sandwich [burrito]." And by then it's covered with mold and he's got to shoo a [[Gavin|roach]] or two away from it before he touches it. The only specific example I can think of right now is from [[Wikipedia:Even Stevens]] (the episode where a haz mat team is needed to clean Louis's room and he has to sleep in Donnie's room. No, I don't watch the Disney channel anymore, but my younger sbblings frequently leave the TV on when they're not watching it and my ADD brain will be distracted by ut. {{User:ACupOfCoffee/sig}} 20:40, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

==Female Coach Z?==

It says that's some kind of female coaz Z with a 3 instead of a Z is in this week's sketchbook... But it's clearly Homeschool winner's symbol! And I guess this means this is an alternate verion of Coach Z who'll never be used...
:Not sure about the HW connection - his symbol is a speech balloon. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 19:04, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
::While I'm not entirely sure it's a female (I was edit-conflicted on putting it up, and my description just said "long-haired"), I can safely say that's a three. Dunno where you're getting the Homeschool Winner thing from. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:::I can see from where he got the Homeschool idea from. The space between the 3 and the circle looks like Homeschool's word bubble upside down. But it says 3 on the caption iself, so no argue there. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 06:13, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

==Numba zero==

I removed the Gilbert Arenas reference from last week's sketch description because there's no proof that it is. There have been plenty of players in the NBA who've worn number 0, and it can't be more than coincidence. --[[User:ISlayedTheKerrek|ISlayedTheKerrek]] 02:35, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

==Sample of Style==

Anyone else notice a simularity between the styles of Numba 0 Strong Sad and Droolstar Runner? They're both in a new sketchy style with lots of detail and shadow as if they were draw at the same time or for the same purpose. Not only that they're also both in a very school-type setting. Granted Homestar could be asleep anywhere, and Strong Sad could be playing professional basketball but I seriously doubt thats the case. My question is, do you guys think this is a sign of toons to come?
*Hmm, maybe! They could be getting more into chiaroscuro shading, like SS's dragon.[[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]

== Possible references for the video game ==

I was just thinking about the video game pictured in the SBASAF Slide Show, and wondering if it was a reference to any game in particular. Here's what I'm thinking:

* Obviously, it appears to be a fighting game, so it parodies the genre as a whole. It's not specific enough to be a reference to any particular game.
** The title "Food Fight" comes to mind...
* A bit of a stretch, but there could also be a vague reference to Burgertime in there.

Just blabbering. Don't mind me. :) - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 20:55, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

== Anselmo? ==

I know Strong Bad seems like a Pantera fan, but we don't know that Anselmo refers to Phil. Could be a city in Nebraska, or Anselmo Baggio, or Anselmo Lorenzo, or San Anselmo California, or just a sweet Spanish sounding name Strong Bad picked.

He's more of a Limozeen fan. --{{User:The 386/sig}} 21:54, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Wait... what were we talking about? I'm confused.

The fun fact that claims '"The Proud Anselmo" is named for Phil Anselmo.'

:See [[Template:STUFF/space program|STUFF]] - we're voting on this being a reference to Rene Anselmo, who helped start the commercial satellite industry. - [[User:KieferSkunk|KieferSkunk]] 22:00, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

== ______ _____face? ==

Anyone else think that the name Space Captainface was rather similar to Sir Hotbod Handsomeface, another nickname Strong Bad creates for himself in TGS issue 10? I'm ambivalent about whether this is a real inside reference or not, because there are a lot of similarities but, at the same time, it COULD just be coincidence.

== Pong ==

The comment about a sonar "pong" not sounding different from a sonar "ping" is incorrect. If the target is moving towards the pinger, the returning "pong" will be higher pitched than the initial "ping". If the target is moving away from the pinger the "pong" will have a lower pitch than the "ping".
This is due to the [http://www.usm.maine.edu/gulfofmaine-census/Docs/Technology/Doppler.htm doppler]effect. -[[User:StrongRad|StrongRad]]

::I don't know about sonar, but in computing, the reply to a "Ping", which is named after the sonar term, is often called a "Pong" (indeed, that is the official name of the packet in some protocols, like IRC).

:::A Google search for "sonar pong" (in quotes) yields only 24 results, mostly amateur fiction. Removing the quotes yields a lot more, but none that seem to me to indicate that the term "pong" is ever (accurately) used in connection with sonar.

:::A lot of people (and some programs) in networking use the term "pong", but it's technically incorrect, as the term doesn't officially exist in networking nomenclature.

Oh look there is a Ping and a Pong in the same list! If there are sonar ping then there must be sonar pongs?

:::::::Of course it's a good joke. :) What we're discussing is that the term "Sonar Pong" would be a misnomer if it were referring to the ping return. More likely, it was inserted into the list because, for most people, "pong" logically follows "ping", and I doubt TBC meant it as anything more than that.

Whether he realizes it or not, Strong Bad makes quite the pun when he says "''pretender'' of the galaxies" instead of "''defender'' of the galaxies".

==Up Stairs and DownStairs and in his nightgown==
Wait, Stux, before I go rereverting your rerevert, weren't you right the first time? From Dictionary.com: 
''1. Down the stairs: raced my friend downstairs.'' 
''2. To or on a lower floor: waited downstairs while her parents were getting dressed.'' 
Now technically, it sounds like it would be ''more'' appropriate if there were a sense of place (referring to a ''particular'' set of stairs, known to the speaker and the audience), but I would think this entry makes it hard to call their usage an out-and-out, verifiable "error," certainly not one deserving a Fun Fact, anyway. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 16:44, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
:The way I read it as it should be is "body falling down ''[the]'' stairs" so the body is actively falling down the stairs -- that would make sense for a sound effect. The other way "body falling downstairs" implies that I am upstairs listening to a body falling in the floor bellow. The example sentece 1. to me, reads the same way: I'm racing my friend to the lower level. Once I realized this that's why I re-reverted. :) --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:48, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

:'''(Edit conflict)''' This is similar to the "trooper" discussion we were having in [[Talk:Coach Z]]. Here's how I understand the usage of the terms:
:*'''Going downstairs''': Denotes that you're specifically going to a lower floor. Refers more to the destination than to how you get there.
:*'''Going down (the) stairs''': Refers more to the fact that you're going down a flight of stairs. Does not necessarily talk about the destination.
:*'''Blank stares''': What I'm probably getting right now. ;)

Personally, I think "Body falling downstairs" and "Body falling down stairs" are both perfectly acceptable, though given the nature of the sound effect, "down stairs" (as in, "down some stairs") is probably more technically correct. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 16:53, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

:'''Edit Conflict: ''' Ugh well ok i'm not so sure now... ''but'' 1. the samples you gave me were from the ''adv.'' section, is the sound effect label also using it as an adverb? --[[User:Stux|Stux]] 16:54, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

:: '''Edit Conflict 1: Edit conflict, too?''' Sorry, but I'm still confused. Wouldn't "'''To''' or on a lower floor" cover this? Again, that would convey a sense of place on the speaker, but would be acceptable; and in the first example, the speaker isn't referring to a floor ''below'' per se; he/she is actually transitioning floors; by the time of the comment, he/she ''is'' "downstairs." At any rate, I maintain that "down stairs" would have been preferable, but I'm not convinced it's absolutely ''wrong'' as used, at least not enough to merit a Fun Fact. —[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 16:59, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

:::'''(Edit Conflict's Last Stand)''' More to the point: Despite its technical correctness, is it necessary to point out an error on a commonly-used term? "Downstairs" may be slang in this case, but virtually everyone uses the term to refer to both the action and the destination. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 16:59, 21 November 2005 (UTC) (Am I making any sense?)

::::''' ''Not'' and edit Conflict:''' I dunno. This is an encyclopedia no?

I wasn't aware of this discussion when I saw the item in the fun facts, and I removed the mention. Now that I see this thread, I should at least justify my reasoning: as mentioned way above, ''downstairs'' can function as an adverb meaning "down the stairs" (by the way, dictionary.com is not a reference; the source quoted is actually the ''American Heritage Dictionary''). Hence, a body falling down the stairs is falling downstairs. It really doesn't matter that ''downstairs'' can mean any of the other things it means or that "down some stairs" might have been a better way to put it. The fact is that TBC's usage is correct and therefore unremarkable. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 19:43, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

== not-for-profit vs. non-profit. ==

''re: [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=space_program&oldid=318152 this edit], which was revised then reverted;''

I left the phrase "non-profit" intact because it's the most common version, and because it's the quickest route to the relevant wikipedia article. However, I felt that it was important to include the note about the phrase "not-for-profit" meaning the same thing, not for the sake of completeness, or because it's also fairly common (which it is), but because I felt that it should be mentioned since the phrasing used in the email itself is "definitely-for-profit".

Furthermore, the quote, "I think you're cute," simply makes more sense than, "I hate your shoes." What's funny about hating someone's shoes?

== Re-Animator Real-world reference ==

I believe "Regenerator" is a real-world reference to the low-to-no budget horror film "Re-animator," based off the works of H.P. Lovecraft. This is probably worth a brief reference on the page for this e-mail.

[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089885/ IMDB link to "Re-Animator"]

Hi, I've been lurking for many months but this is my first attempt at actually working with Wiki. {{unsigned|Evil Jim|19:24, March 13, 2006 (UTC)}}

That's pretty likely, since "bad guy" in Re-animator has his head cut off and does all sorts of crazy things. -- Crowther 00:55, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Coincidentally (or perhaps not), we are told that SB's film is called "Regenerator 4" and there are currently three Re-Animator films.

:ReAnimator and Regenerator? That's about as coincidental as you get. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 06:57, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

::The phonetic resemblance is plain to see, the number of existing sequels lines up, and the parallel details between Reanimator and the events of the e-mail seal the deal.

::Phil: The main reason I see for a STUFF page is that there are quite a few instances (especially in the HR universe) where many people have many different opinions about what constitutes a valid reference. Personally, I like having STUFF around - it's a good way to resolve, once and for all, whether a proposed reference is acceptable, and most of the time STUFF is used on references that are arguably coincidence, or about things that are (usually) not noteworthy (like a particular sound effect occurring in other toons). It's not used for everything, and I don't see anything about it that's "stifling" or otherwise detrimental to the wiki. In fact, I think it serves a very good purpose here - in many ways, it helps to keep the wiki running smoothly, so we don't end up in incessant "revert wars" because two or more people disagree on a particular item. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 16:11, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
On Wikipedia, there are many experts in the relevant fields, so on matters of fact it is possible to mostly listen to the experts, and determine results by consensus. Unfortunately this wiki doesn't deal with such issues. This isn't rocket surgery, it's a fan site. As such, matters of fact rarely come into it, and when they do they're usually solved quickly (and closed early if this happens in STUFF). Just check out [[Talk:Main Page 6#Harp or Lyre?|Talk:Main Page 6 → Harp or Lyre?]] for an example of a discussion about facts that ended very quickly and evolved into an out-punning contest. Unfortunately most of what we see are value conflicts – what constitutes a valid reference, as Kiefer mentioned, whether something ''seems like'' a reference or a coincidence… few of these would be solved by discussion amongst your average sane person. And we're not your average sane person – many of the users here could be described (with no malice intended, I count myself in this group) as "fans", using the true meaning of the word, that is an shortening of ''fanatic''. If you think you can convince them in a value discussion and form a consensus, you should see some of the posts on the [[HRWiki:Old STUFF|pre-reform STUFF page]], which encouraged such discussion (as opposed to the current one, which tries to stifle it in favour of simply listing arguments) – take [[Talk:do over#Change of Pace (ACCEPTED)|Talk:do over → Change of Pace]], the mere mention of which gets at least one member of the community up in arms (please don't demonstrate here…). Incidentally, even Wikipedia has [[Wikipedia:WP:VfD|WP:VfD]] for when values clash too much, so don't say that they are against the wiki way. We just have it more often, because we have a higher percentage of value-based disagreements. (I'm in the middle of a philosophy course about the differences between a factual disagreement and a value conflict, so I get this stuff hammered into me every couple of days…) {{User:Phlip/sig}} 16:45, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
:BTW, Phil, if you'd like a specific example of how STUFF could really help WP, check out [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shadow_the_Hedgehog&action=history the edit history of the '''Shadow the Hedgehog'''] article — particularly in the edit/revert war between an IP address and Xino. {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 20:49, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

::Honestly, everybody, since going on this little crusade, I've (finally) figured out for myself that this whole wiki is necessarily seperate due to the behavior that the subject matter engenders, and I'm sorry I came barging in like I knew better, without experience in comedically-themed wikis. As I told Kef I would be, I'm a little embarrassed about that. It's sad, because some material that should be included in an encyclopedia of significant facts seems to get left by the wayside, and I wonder what other real references never get cataloged because they're voted down. The root of my energy on the subject is that the kernel of information that got this all started seems like such a plain fact. I don't know how anyone, let alone a majority, could think otherwise. It's baffling, and it makes me think the system doesn't work. I can't help but notice that most of the participants in this discussion haven't voted, but with how politicized it's gotten, and how juvenile some users seem to be, I no-longer have faith that it'd be a vote on the subject anyway. Looks like I can't win. -[[Wikipedia:User:Phil Bond|Phil Bond]] 07:14, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

:::Actually, having overseen several hundred of these STUFF items under the current system, I can say that it works quite well for our wiki. Looking over the closed ones, I would be hard-pressed to find even one where I wasn't completely confident that the final vote represented the overall consensus of our users. You seem to be basing your opinion primarily on this one fact that you are 100-percent sure about. Well, not everyone shares your opinion—I for one am not so sure about it. Maybe it's true and maybe it isn't, but we shouldn't give it the weight of listing it on the article unless most of us think that it belongs there. We ''tend'' to disallow potential references that are more of a stretch or are more obscure (although not always) unless they are somehow confirmed by TBC. I'm comfortable with that, because the articles should contain a minimum of outright speculation. Incidentally, it's not even like these declined facts disappear... they are archived on the talk page where all who wish to dig deeper can see them. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 07:50, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

There have been times a reference we knew was true turned out to be different and vice versa, I'm sure.(The Reading Rampage comes to mind.) So long as we're honest with ourselves about how we do it, we're cool. But we can't pretend to say that each reference we list was definitely on TBC's mind, nor can we say we've caught each one that was. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 18:18, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

::::Having begun this whole fiasco in the first place with my sighting of the Re-Animator reference & watching it progress into a debate over its validity on the Stuff page as well as an involved discussion about the foundations of the HRWiki here I feel responsible to comment again. I've learned a lot about the Wiki & what goes on behind its glut of searchable information in the short period since my first attempted edit. It's not the best way for a newbie to learn the ropes but I won't let it discourage me. I will still continue to watch & edit & help make the Wiki the definitive resource for H*R fans everywhere.

::::But if the Brothers Chaps do happen to mention Re-Animator & confirm it as inspiration for elements of this email on some future DVD commentary or interview I officially reserve the right to have the last laugh & ask to be allowed to make the addition to the Real-World References on to this page. Either way, I remain your comrade in arms. [[User:Evil Jim|Evil Jim]]

:::::If this item is ever confirmed by TBC (a big ''if''), I doubt anyone will sit around waiting for anyone else to add it (piranha attacking a cow would be a good visual metaphor for how things get added around here). I guess you can have the last laugh if you really want it, but that's largely unnecessary, given that we know our limitations. We are well aware that a lot of the information on the articles, in particular in the references sections, is ''likely'' but not certain. Information that is likely to be true is not ''necessarily'' true, just as that which is unlikely is not necessarily false, but we've got to start somewhere and relative likelihood seems to be the standard of proof we have agreed on. Each of us has our own definition of what is likely true, and thus debates continue, but we don't pretend that we get it right all of the time (TBC have actually stated that they are amused by several of the inaccuracies on the pages, usually found in real-world references sections). When we get better information, we change it. Simple as that. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 20:28, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

== Dizzy, anyone? ==

I've always thougth that SB's head looks like good old egg Dizzy (main character of adventure game starting off at 8-bits). He had even boxing floating boxing gloves and shoes (rayman-like, except rayman is much younger). But now when he says that "My head would probably get pretty dizzy just rollin' around all the time", I see this as a real-world reference to the Dizzy, who used somersault as jump, which happened all the time. [[User:Analytik|Analytik]] 20:49, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
:I tink it's just a referenceto normal eggs. In fact, that maks it barely a reference at all, since it's really not that specific. — {{User: Seriously/sig}} 20:57, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
:The head rolling for transportation is also reminiscent of Weebl and Bob (http://www.weebl.jolt.co.uk/archives.php), another high-volume online comic. However, one might argue that he would have had a hankering for pie and not breads. [[User:Tirian|Tirian]] 05:09, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
== Bosomest of Buddies ==

Hi, i tried to edit the real-world references to say that the term "bosomest of buddies" comes from the 1980 TV show "Bosom Buddies" starring Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari, and I got it up, but it was soon deleted. Why? It's true!
:It's a common phrase, not a reference to anything specific. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]
:Why not a reference to the Cole Porter song? Or - better yet - why not just a use of a common phrase in English, making it not very remarkable after all. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:43, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
:Come on, really. The TV show. It's a reference. The phrase has become common thanks to Tom and Peter.
::Really. Look up the song from the show <strike>"Anything Goes" by Porter</strike> Mame. (Oops, wrong show.) This has been a common phrase for at least a century. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 21:45, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
The title of the tv show is *itself* a reference to the common phrase. Just like the song in Mame. No reference![[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]

== Cornbread ==

Does anybody think that Homestar selling cornbread could be related to Bubs calling himself Cornbread in A Decemberween Pageant.
:No. Cornbread is a common food. - {{User:Joshua/sig}} 22:27, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
:Do you think Strong Bad's saying that he needs muscle is a reference to the [[Homestarloween Party]], in which Bubs said the car had muscle? If you answered yes to that question, I recommend a tour through [[STUFF]]. It would be instructive. Seriously, it's just cornbread. [[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]]
I didn't see this one, but on the bread thingy up above, I noted two other cornbread references. Is the third time the charm? (Find out next week! Same bat time, same bat place.)[[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]

*No way is this a reference. Has no one else ever been to a restaurant where they actually serve tiny breads? A very common one is a little cornbread that is kinda shaped like a flattened football. Maybe they are trying to make it look like a cob of corn. I don't know. But still, small loafs of cornbread are probably the most common type of tiny bread, in my experience. --[[User:Racerx is Alive|racerx_is_alive]] 18:26, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

**Well, yes, cornbread does exist (and is in fact mildly delicious) but the issue is that TBC like to mention Cornbread a lot. It could be once, twice, three times a running gag! [[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]

No cornbread? A restaurant near me always serves cornbread with breakfast, and it has those little colored sprinkles in it. That's what the bread in the box looks like to me.

== 'Doom' reference? ==

Flying Head Bad seems to bear a strong resemblance to the Lost Souls from the Doom video game series. Unfortunately, I'm not sure this is worthy of be added.

I'm starting to think that the doom references are becoming a running gag. I seriously think its worthy. -Cyberdemon

:The shrieking heads in Doom fly by themselves. Strong Bad first features some sort of visible anti-gravity device, then the flaming exhausts. I can't see a clear link, despite that both are surrounded by flames somehow. By the way, what other Doom references do you mean? Bubs' shotgun in [[virus]]? --[[User:PoweredByHomsar|PoweredByHomsar]] 02:35, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps those repulsorlift rings are more common than I realize, but did anyone else think of the robot guy with the jetpack in the THX commercial with the cows? I did. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 23:52, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
:Not before thinking of [[Wikipedia:The_Jetsons|The Jetsons]]. Those repulsing rings are pretty much cartoon vernacular by now, just like anvils and giant mallets, though less common. I don't think using an idea or a convention established by someone else necessarily counts a reference, but if you're going to make a reference, at least reference the classic. [[User:PolarBoy|PolarBoy]]

== Municipality ==

Why is the KOT's, ahem, "government", referring to Free Country as a ''municipality'', going out of its way to use that exact word? [[Free_Country%2C_USA#Politics|You don't think...]] --[[User:VolatileChemical|VolatileChemical]] 23:55, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

== Egghead? ==

I might just be weird, but I think Homestar says "Headman" to the career advice head, rather than "Eggman."[[User:Trelawney|Trelawney]]

:Wow. I am ''never'' trusting your ears again. :P {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 05:08, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

== ham head ==

something was bugging me about strongbody, and i finally figured it out, the bone sticking up out of his neck would only make sense if it was coming out of a major limb, ie a leg, or in this case, a ham... it looks nothing like a vertabrae.. {{User:Csours/sig}} 05:26, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Cartoons always do that to headless bodies. [[User:That crazy DumDe!|DumDe]]

== RuneScape ==

I know that this may be the biggest strecth you've ever heard/seen, but to anyone who has ever played [http://www.runescape.com RuneScape], please answer this question: '''Does the sound of the riot rocks hitting The Poopsmith's shield sound like the sound of a sword hitting someone in Runescape?''' Maybe I'm just hearing things, but I think it does. I immediately thought of RuneScape when I heard that sound. I know, I know, It's probably just a coincidence, it's probably just a generic sound effect, but I couldn't help mentioning the similarity. {{User:Has Matt?/sig}} 13:48, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 meh. i dont think so. the rock have a distinctly 'tinny' sound, like an old timey clicky oil dispenser. {{User:Csours/sig}} 18:06, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

The sound effect of Strong Bad typing is a reference to Finding Forrester, where Jamal Wallace makes a similar sound when he is typing. [[User:Swimma Dan|Swimma Dan]]

I play RuneScape, like 75% of the time in my life. Problem is, I don't have sound effects. On my friends computer, though it does, it very much does sound like that. {{User:Darklinkskywalker/DLSsignature}} 17:12, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

== Stone Appearing In The Wrong Place ==

If you look really closely on Strong Body's hand when he is throwing the rocks, the rock appears in his hand not after it passes the bucket of ammo, but after it passes under his legs. The rock is magically in his hand after it passes the wrong place. Goof, possibly? -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|Brightstar Shiner]] 22:14, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
:I noticed that as well. He doesn't really grab it out of the bucket. {{User:Salty/sig}} 01:20, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

== Eggman ==

I was about to add in the Sonic Reference when I saw the tag at the end of the section. But does anybody think it's worth mentioning the use of "Eggman" in the [[Wikipedia:The_Beatles|Beatles]] song "[[Wikipedia:I am the Walrus|I am the Walrus]]"? It's probably better known to more people. {{User:Taco Salad of My Dreams/sig}} 22:25, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
:That's even more of a stretch. At least the Sonic ref has more than a similar word going for it. {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 22:31, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
::Qermaq, even though the song is called "I am the Walrus", it contains the phrase "I am the eggman" in the chorus ([http://beatles-lyrics.org/magical_mystery_tour/i_am_the_walrus link]). {{User:Trey56/sig}} 18:09, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
:::Oh, I'm quite aware of the song and its lyrics. Again, I noted that the Sonic reference has more going for it than mention of a single word. I mean, The Eggman is a character in John Waters' "Pink Flamingoes", is that a reference too? {{User:Qermaq/sig}} 18:29, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
::::Of course! ;) {{User:Trey56/sig}} 19:10, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
I think it is a Sonic refference because it says on the Sonic website that Eggman is shaped like an egg.--[[User:Witchesbrew82|Witchesbrew82]] 17:53, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

:TS, I thought of the Beatles song too when I heard the phrase "Eggman." I think it's a stretch to call it an overt reference though. At least it'll be archived on this talk page now. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 18:03, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

::Being as notoriously old-school as TBC is, I think they might still be calling Eggman by his US name, Robotnik. --[[User:RadSkat3|RadSkat3]] 02:03, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
:::Personally, I would be, even though it is just my personal preference that Robotnik sounds more evil than Eggman. I mean what kind of self-respecting evil genius makes his nickname Eggman? --[[User:Troggie|Troggie]] 00:01, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Dr. Eggman was named after the lyric in the Beatles' song. Also, isn't it suspicious how Homestar called Strongbad's head "eggman" in the exact same moment when the Municipality logo is shown. The Municipality logo (which is the head of the King of Town) seems to be attributed to Dr. Eggman's logo, right down to the lined teeth. Dr. Eggman's logo is mostly used in the Sonic Advance series, and in Sonic Rush. I think it also is shown in the anime Sonic X. -GT Koopa March 21, 2006

Wow... good point. I didn't realize that his logo looks so much like that...and I have the wallpaper up too. And by the way, in Sonic Adventure, Sonic makes fun of Robotnik, calling him Eggman. That's how he got the name in the US... -[[User:RadSkat3|RadSkat3]] 23:45, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Actually, Dr. Eggman was named Eggman with no intention of refferencing the Beetles song.--[[User:209.158.179.116|209.158.179.116]] 18:34, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

== burnout ==

The comment that mentions that it is not possible for a head without tires to perform a burnout is just a bit ridiculous. I mean, I guess it is commonplace to see a flying head with firing headers, but OMG if that flying head performs a burnout while flying in mid air!

:I was thinking the same thing in [[pop-up]], facts mentioning that specific tabs that wouldn't work in a real paper book... seriously, so many of the things wouldn't work as part of a pop-up book, and that's the joke... Luckily noone mentioned that spontaneously appearing burgers aren't real... {{User:Phlip/sig}} 06:13, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

:::Lol, yeah - SB dropped the repulsorlift which got him into the air for the headers attached to his head which got him around in the air, but he dropped the repulsorlift, so he shouldn't be floating anymore, but he is, cause this is a cartoon. :P --[[User:Troggie|Troggie]] 23:58, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
::::Maybe he just has [[Lack of Visible Arms|invisible arms or legs]] holding him up off the ground. ;) {{User:KieferSkunk/sig}} 17:43, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

==The Punisher==

I believe that the KOT logo on the poster for The Municipality is based on that of The Punisher.

Trogador

Gus:

[[Image:Trogador.PNG|thumb|Trogador, in all his majesty]]
[[Image:trogador 20X6trogdor.jpg|thumb|Original Trogador]]

'''Trogador''', a [[20X6]] version of [[Trogdor]], was first shown during the [[NYU Talk - 1 Mar 2005|'05 NYU Talk]] hosted by [[The Brothers Chaps]]. At the time, The Brothers Chaps stated that he was likely never to be used on the site, but nearly a year later he proved them wrong by asking [[Stinkoman]] for "some type of birthday challenge" in [[Happy Trogday]]. In his first official appearance, he was shown to be far larger than his NYU Talk version.

Trogador bears resemblance to a [[Wikipedia:Chinese dragon|Chinese dragon]], although the 20X6 toons resemble Japanese animation, or [[Wikipedia:Anime|animé]]. The beefy arm that Trogador has is done in the detailed and highly exaggerated style seen in such animés as [[Wikipedia:Dragon Ball Z|Dragon Ball Z]] (Trogador's wristband even resembles the wristbands the show's main character, Goku, wears).

The name may refer to the odd way in which Trogdor's name is said at the title screen of the [[TROGDOR!]] game. It could also be an [[Wikipedia:Engrish|Engrish]] reference, as some Western words transliterated into Japanese place extra vowels between the consonants that make up a consonant cluster, such as ドラゴン (''doragon''), which means dragon, although if Trogdor were actually transliterated into Japanese, it would most likely read either トログドア (''torogudoa'') or トログドル (''torogudoru'') as Japanese has no [[Wikipedia:R-colored vowel|R-colored vowels]].

Quote of the Week

[[Image:Quote Of Week Box Design All.PNG|thumb|The old, the new, and the newer]]

The '''Quote of the Week''' is a sound bite from the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]] universe. These are found by clicking on the ''Q'' at the top of the [[Main Pages]], and are generally updated each week on Thursday. Here is a list of all Quotes of the Week collected since this feature started on January 10, 2002, under the name "Quote of the day". Since early 2004, the Quote of the Week was updated with more regularity. For some time before then, the quote of the week was a "[[Main Page Messages|what's new?]]" ovular button; it was labeled "Quote of the Day", but rolling over it would change the title to "Quote of the Week", and clicking would change it to "Quote of the Month", to denote its irregular updates (The original quote box read also read "Quote of the Day (or so)", as shown in the image). The dates of some quotes are estimated on the basis of the file-modified date.

:''For the July 29th-November 11th, 2004 quotes, the download option was only available as a .zip file. As of the November 22nd quote, however, the download option appears to only be as a straight mp3, and they appear to be deleting each quote of the week as soon as the next one is released.''

:''Quotes after November 11, 2004 are transcribed on the website. Directly saving and opening the [[HR:qod.swf|Flash file]] produces some odd results; the standard Homestar image will appear along with a default message, as shown on the right.''

==Fun Facts==

*If there is a problem finding the [[Secret Pages XML Source#Weeklies XML File|weeklies XML file]], the text (which has no sound) is Homestar saying:<blockquote>"Oh Haldo! This is my funniest word style ever times that I've said! Hope all is on to it even more lately! And I wish the chicken & msg place was open on Somedays."</blockquote>
**This makes references to [[Peasant's Quest]] ([[Unusual Greetings#Haldo|Haldo]]), [[for kids]] ([[All Is On|all is on]]), [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]] (MSG), and [[monster truck]] (Somedays).
*Formerly, the text was:<blockquote>"Oh Hello! This is my funniest word style ever that I said! Hope you're into it!"</blockquote>
*Homsar's "I'm the human wedgie" quote was used twice. Although the two sound bites were identical, the text used in both cases were slightly different. (The first time it was "I'm" whereas the second was "AAAaaaAAh'm").
**Homestar's "The good times are over!" quote was also used twice, with spelling differences (lower-case letters instead of caps.) However, this probably was an accident or a placeholder, as it was changed the following day.
**Although it wasn't identical, Bubs had a line as well, "Everybody knows me. Mine name Cornbread.", that is very similar to "I got it-I got everything you wan know. Everybody know me, my name Cornbread."
*In Bubs' quote from June 30th, 2005, "Check it out" was said 16 times.
*February 9, 2006's quote calls the feature "Quote of the Day" rather than its typical name "Quote of the Week".
*When using a character head that hasn't been added yet, Homestar's head is used until the appropriate character's head is uploaded. This has happened with the Geddup Noise's, Horrible Painting's, and Small Mouth Strong Mad's quotes.
*The May 4, 2006 quote spelled the name of Strong Bad's [[Strong Bad's Ladies|imaginary girlfriend]] as "Delelilia". However, in [[senior prom]], her name was spelled "Delilelia".
*In the June 29, 2006 quote, "Circle gets the square" is a reference to the game show [[Wikipedia:Hollywood Squares|Hollywood Squares]], which is based on tic-tac-toe; the accompanying phrase is "X gets the square."

Quote of the Week

Gus — Thu, 29 Jun 2006 21:25:29 GMT

Gus: /* Fun Facts */

[[Image:Quote Of Week Box Design All.PNG|thumb|The old, the new, and the newer]]

The '''Quote of the Week''' is a sound bite from the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]] universe. These are found by clicking on the ''Q'' at the top of the [[Main Pages]], and are generally updated each week on Thursday. Here is a list of all Quotes of the Week collected since this feature started on January 10, 2002, under the name "Quote of the day". Since early 2004, the Quote of the Week was updated with more regularity. For some time before then, the quote of the week was a "[[Main Page Messages|what's new?]]" ovular button; it was labeled "Quote of the Day", but rolling over it would change the title to "Quote of the Week", and clicking would change it to "Quote of the Month", to denote its irregular updates (The original quote box read also read "Quote of the Day (or so)", as shown in the image). The dates of some quotes are estimated on the basis of the file-modified date.

:''For the July 29th-November 11th, 2004 quotes, the download option was only available as a .zip file. As of the November 22nd quote, however, the download option appears to only be as a straight mp3, and they appear to be deleting each quote of the week as soon as the next one is released.''

:''Quotes after November 11, 2004 are transcribed on the website. Directly saving and opening the [[HR:qod.swf|Flash file]] produces some odd results; the standard Homestar image will appear along with a default message, as shown on the right.''

==Fun Facts==

*If there is a problem finding the [[Secret Pages XML Source#Weeklies XML File|weeklies XML file]], the text (which has no sound) is Homestar saying:<blockquote>"Oh Haldo! This is my funniest word style ever times that I've said! Hope all is on to it even more lately! And I wish the chicken & msg place was open on Somedays."</blockquote>
**This makes references to [[Peasant's Quest]] ([[Unusual Greetings#Haldo|Haldo]]), [[for kids]] ([[All Is On|all is on]]), [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]] (MSG), and [[monster truck]] (Somedays).
*Formerly, the text was:<blockquote>"Oh Hello! This is my funniest word style ever that I said! Hope you're into it!"</blockquote>
*Homsar's "I'm the human wedgie" quote was used twice. Although the two sound bites were identical, the text used in both cases were slightly different. (The first time it was "I'm" whereas the second was "AAAaaaAAh'm").
**Homestar's "The good times are over!" quote was also used twice, with spelling differences (lower-case letters instead of caps.) However, this probably was an accident or a placeholder, as it was changed the following day.
**Although it wasn't identical, Bubs had a line as well, "Everybody knows me. Mine name Cornbread.", that is very similar to "I got it-I got everything you wan know. Everybody know me, my name Cornbread."
*In Bubs' quote from June 30th, 2005, "Check it out" was said 16 times.
*February 9, 2006's quote calls the feature "Quote of the Day" rather than its typical name "Quote of the Week".
*When using a character head that hasn't been added yet, Homestar's head is used until the appropriate character's head is uploaded. This has happened with the Geddup Noise's, Horrible Painting's, and Small Mouth Strong Mad's quotes.
*The May 4, 2006 quote spelled the name of Strong Bad's [[Strong Bad's Ladies|imaginary girlfriend]] as "Delelilia". However, in [[senior prom]], her name was spelled "Delilelia".
*In the June 29, 2006 quote, "Circle gets the square" is most certainly a reference to the game show [[Wikipedia:Hollywood Squares|Hollywood Squares]], which is based on tic-tac-toe; the accompanying phrase is "X gets the square." How this phrase logically ties into the rest of the quote is still unknown.

Quote of the Week

Gus — Thu, 29 Jun 2006 21:22:40 GMT

Gus: /* Fun Facts */

[[Image:Quote Of Week Box Design All.PNG|thumb|The old, the new, and the newer]]

The '''Quote of the Week''' is a sound bite from the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]] universe. These are found by clicking on the ''Q'' at the top of the [[Main Pages]], and are generally updated each week on Thursday. Here is a list of all Quotes of the Week collected since this feature started on January 10, 2002, under the name "Quote of the day". Since early 2004, the Quote of the Week was updated with more regularity. For some time before then, the quote of the week was a "[[Main Page Messages|what's new?]]" ovular button; it was labeled "Quote of the Day", but rolling over it would change the title to "Quote of the Week", and clicking would change it to "Quote of the Month", to denote its irregular updates (The original quote box read also read "Quote of the Day (or so)", as shown in the image). The dates of some quotes are estimated on the basis of the file-modified date.

:''For the July 29th-November 11th, 2004 quotes, the download option was only available as a .zip file. As of the November 22nd quote, however, the download option appears to only be as a straight mp3, and they appear to be deleting each quote of the week as soon as the next one is released.''

:''Quotes after November 11, 2004 are transcribed on the website. Directly saving and opening the [[HR:qod.swf|Flash file]] produces some odd results; the standard Homestar image will appear along with a default message, as shown on the right.''

==Fun Facts==

*If there is a problem finding the [[Secret Pages XML Source#Weeklies XML File|weeklies XML file]], the text (which has no sound) is Homestar saying:<blockquote>"Oh Haldo! This is my funniest word style ever times that I've said! Hope all is on to it even more lately! And I wish the chicken & msg place was open on Somedays."</blockquote>
**This makes references to [[Peasant's Quest]] ([[Unusual Greetings#Haldo|Haldo]]), [[for kids]] ([[All Is On|all is on]]), [[Teen Girl Squad Issue 3]] (MSG), and [[monster truck]] (Somedays).
*Formerly, the text was:<blockquote>"Oh Hello! This is my funniest word style ever that I said! Hope you're into it!"</blockquote>
*Homsar's "I'm the human wedgie" quote was used twice. Although the two sound bites were identical, the text used in both cases were slightly different. (The first time it was "I'm" whereas the second was "AAAaaaAAh'm").
**Homestar's "The good times are over!" quote was also used twice, with spelling differences (lower-case letters instead of caps.) However, this probably was an accident or a placeholder, as it was changed the following day.
**Although it wasn't identical, Bubs had a line as well, "Everybody knows me. Mine name Cornbread.", that is very similar to "I got it-I got everything you wan know. Everybody know me, my name Cornbread."
*In Bubs' quote from June 30th, 2005, "Check it out" was said 16 times.
*February 9, 2006's quote calls the feature "Quote of the Day" rather than its typical name "Quote of the Week".
*When using a character head that hasn't been added yet, Homestar's head is used until the appropriate character's head is uploaded. This has happened with the Geddup Noise's, Horrible Painting's, and Small Mouth Strong Mad's quotes.
*The May 4, 2006 quote spelled the name of Strong Bad's [[Strong Bad's Ladies|imaginary girlfriend]] as "Delelilia". However, in [[senior prom]], her name was spelled "Delilelia".
*In the June 2 2006 quote, "Circle gets the square" is most certainly a reference to the game show [[Wikipedia:Hollywood Squares|Hollywood Squares]], which is based on tic-tac-toe; the accompanying phrase is "X gets the square." How this phrase logically ties into the rest of the quote is still unknown.

== Transcript ==

'''STRONG BAD:''' I got miles and miles of the e-mail style. Miles and miles of the e-mail style.

<blockquote class="email"><div>subject: radio</div>
Dear Strong Bad, 
My friends are radio hosts. Any chance you could give 
them any pointers on what they can say/do on their show? 
bowing to you 
Fraser, Scotland</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad reads "say/do" as "say slash do".}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Oh, no need to bow, Fraser. G-Get up. ''{reverently}'' Rise, my son. And giveth me instead, $7.50 with which to buy some buffalo chicken tenders. ''{He clears the screen.}'' So your "friends" are radio show hosts, huh? Well, the first rule of thumb for all radio personalities is to look absolutely nothing like how they sound. Take Ol' Greystoke for instance.

''{Cut to Strong Sad standing in his room.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' Now here's a whiny know-it-all who sounds just like he looks.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Why thank you, Senator.

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voice-over}'' Quit calling me that. Anyway, if Strong Sad was a radio host, he'd sound like this:

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{In spontaneous, radio host voice}'' Hey hey hey, it's the Deathly Pallor, coming at you on numbitty 902, WA3D FM, "The Sturge." Coming up next, we got some hot new tracks from double-O ballyhoo!

''{Strong Sad covers his mouth in horror while Strong Bad laughs.}''

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{normal voice/frightened}'' Don't you ever make me do that again!

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So once they've got the voice/appearance mismatch working, then it all just depends on what kind of radio station they work for. Listen and loin as I run my test sentence through the various genres.

'''Voice-over:''' Strong Bad's test sentence is "The fish was delish and it made quite a dish." ''{The sentence appears on-screen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' First up is public radio: smooth n' smarmy.

''{Cut to Marzipan's kitchen. A radio is sitting on the counter.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as Public Radio host}'' Today on Capitol Hill, the fish was delish, and according to U.N. secretary council members, it made quite a dish. You are listening to member-supported public radio.

''{Public Radio theme song plays. Marzipan walks in.}''

'''MARZIPAN:''' Dang old public radio. I never got my tote bag.

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Next up is the drive time morning show.

''{A poster for "[[The am morning "CRUDE" crew|The am morning 'CRUDE' crew]]" with two Strong Bad-like hosts appears onscreen.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Oooh, these guys are like bad stand up comics that you can't heckle. Or jeckle. Or throw highball glasses at.

''{Cut to a [[Clock Radio|clock radio]]. The clock radio reads 6:59 AM and it is dark in the room, but when the clock switches to 7:00 the lights and radio turn on.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as morning talk show host, with sound effects in the background}'' Rise and shine, people! The fish was delish. ''{canned laughter}'' Wait for it, wait for it! ''{clowny sounds}'' And it made quite a dish.

''{Cut back from the clock radio to show Homestar in his house with a Public Radio tote bag over his head, holding a glass containing a brown liquid with ice cubes.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' All right, squawk box! Shut it up about the fish already.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I guess that's the way ''{honk honk}'' the cookie crumbles.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Highball! ''{He throws the glass at the radio.}''

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Then, there's the utter misery that is college radio. Where they apparently just let any bewildered freshman wander in to the booth and try to run a radio station.

''{Cut to the [[booOOMbox]] containing a blank tape.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as college radio host, over a song ending and some feedback}'' Uh, that, that was "The fish was delish" and we heard... track... ''{thumbing through CD jewel cases}'' six... "It Made Quite a Dish."

''{Cut to Strong Sad's room, where he is sitting next to the boombox writing some calligraphy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{on radio}'' Um... Ca...campus outreach is looking for... Hang on...

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' College radio can pretty much be summed up in 5 words: 
Dead air, um, dead air.

''{Cut back to the boombox}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{as college radio host}'' Okay, I am out of here for today, bu-but, um, but first up is an, um, er...an...an hour of chanting.

''{A chant plays on the boombox. Strong Sad hits the Play and Record buttons.}''

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' And just in case your friends are um, in the past: here's old-timey radio.

''{Cut to an Old-Timey room with an [[Old-Timey Radio]], with Old-Timey Strong Bad reading in front of a microphone.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' ''{as old-timey radio host}'' This week on The Fish Was Delish progrum, brought to you by Portly Washboy laundry paste,—

''{Portly Washboy Fancy Laundry Paste logo appears}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' —we join The Fish down at the wharfs as he closes in on the Quite a Dish gang's hideout. Stay tuned for partial excitement.

''{The [[Portly Washboy Fancy Laundry Paste|Portly Washboy]] logo appears again. It depicts a boy and a heaping jar of paste with a spoon in it.}''

'''Voice-over:''' ''{singing}'' Portly Washboy: Don't eat it like the cartoon, man.

''{Cut back to Lappy 486.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Done and done, Fraser. Your friends should be well on their way to annoying drivers and gas station attendants the world over. Ooh! And see if you can score me some free coozies, frisbees, or bottle openers from their station. Those free giveaways: Highly flammable.

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

== Easter Eggs ==
* Click on Strong Sad's stomach while he does the radio voice to see him wearing a T-shirt from WA3D FM "[[The Sturge]]."
*Click on "[[The Fish was Delish and it made Quite a Dish|The fish was delish, and it made quite a dish]]" to show a [[Wikipedia: Dr. Seuss|Dr. Seuss]]-style children's book of the same name. It was written by Crazy Prof. Sportsinterviews (aka [[Leomard Sportsinterviews]]), who writes most of the children's books Strong Bad mangles.
**After the test sentence disappears, you can still click where it was to show the children's book.
* Click on "coozies, frisbees, or bottle openers" after The Paper comes down to see them. The coozie is blue and says, "[[WSBD]] The Voice of [[Crazy Go Nuts University|CGNU]] 89.3 Several Dozen Listeners." The frisbee is white and says, "The Sturge numbitty 902 WA3D FM." The bottle opener is red and says, "Smooooooth 'n smarmy".

:'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh, I disagree! I think it's more than just a matter of simple economics. In fact, I'd say... ''{radio host voice and mannerisms, with music}'' Oh, yeah! What's the phrase that pays that plays for days? It's numbitty-nine-oh-two, "The Sturge." Don't you touch that ''{quickly}'' BLABITTABLOUGH!
:'''STRONG MAD:''' ''{confused}'' Blabittablough?

:'''RADIO:''' ''{Old-Timey Strong Bad}'' Stay tuned for partial excitement!
:''{Portly Washboy Laundry Paste theme song plays over radio.}''
:'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' ''{listening}'' Drat and double drat! It's true what they say! The rah-dio really does add four and twenty stone to one's voice!

== Fun Facts ==
===Explanations===
* "Four-and-twenty stone" is 336 pounds (one stone = 14 pounds), though it is probably a play on the saying that "the camera adds ten pounds."
* A [http://ww5.williams-sonoma.com/cat/index.cfm?cid=GlsHDfi&bnrid=3160501&cm_ven=Google&cm_cat=Glassware&cm_pla=HighballsOldFashioneds&cm_ite=highball_glass highball glass] is a tall, narrow glass typically used to serve certain types of alcohol and cocktails. Homestar's glass, therefore, isn't a highball at all; it is a "Rocks Glass" or "Double Old-Fashioned Glass" which is generally short and stout.
** Homestar's glass is the same one The Cheat had on the table in [[montage]] while smoking.

===Remarks===
*The tote bag on Homestar's head reads, ''"PRS Public Radio Sounds "Smooth 'n Smarmy,"'' implying that this must be the tote bag that Marzipan never got.
*Homestar must have his lights set to come on with the radio alarm at 7:00 am; strangely, he is already up and having a drink.
*Judging by the [[Wikipedia:North American call sign|call letters]] of the college radio station, [[Free Country, USA]] must be east of the Mississippi River. Generally, call letters for radio stations in cities east of the Mississippi begin with 'W'. Those to the west begin with 'K'.
*Strong Mad's feet are seperately drawn; the lines on Strong Mad's left shoe are closer together, and the shoe is slightly smaller. (This is seen in the second last Easter Egg).

===Goofs===
*The left sleeve of Strong Sad's radio T-shirt disappears during parts of that Easter egg. If you click on him again, it reappears. (See the article image above.)

===Inside References===
*Strong Mad's reaction to Strong Sad's strange remarks in the Easter egg is extremely similar to his reaction to "parakeet" in [[caffeine]].
*Strong Sad's calligraphy pen is also featured in his action figure in the Easter egg for [[action figure]], when writing to Strong Bad in [[Strong Bad Is in Jail Cartoon]], and when transcribing Paradise Lost in [[record book]].
*Strong Sad refers to himself as "The Deathly Pallor," harking back to Coach Z's introduction of Strong Sad in the email [[impression]].
*Right at the very end of the chanting, one can hear the first two notes of the [[Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]] theme song, as seen in [[Decemberween Sweet Cuppin' Cakes]].
*The [[booOOMbox]] Strong Sad listens to was also seen in [[autobiography]]. However, it had no record button.

===Real-World References===
*"Drat and double drat!" was [[Wikipedia:Dick Dastardly|Dick Dastardly's]] ([[Wikipedia:Wacky_Races|''Wacky Races'']]) catch phrase.
*Marzipan's book ''Tolstoy Story 2'' is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Leo Tolstoy|Leo Tolstoy]], a famous Russian author, and also to the Disney/Pixar film ''[[Wikipedia:Toy Story 2|Toy Story 2]]''.
* Strong Bad's test phrase is an old broadcasting cliché. The phrase has been used to test the levels of the '''F''' and '''SH''' sounds in audio signals for recording, public address and broadcast. When those sounds are too "hot," sounding like intense hisses, the mic can be moved or covered to reduce the "swishiness."
*"[[Public Radio Sounds]]" (or "PRS") is a playful combination of [http://www.pbs.org PBS], the Public Broadcasting Service, and [http://www.pri.org PRI], Public Radio International.
*Marzipan talking about how she "never got her tote bag" is a reference to how donators to PBS usually receive gifts, a tote bag with the PBS logo embroidered on it being the most well-known.
*The "UN Secretary Council" represents a mix between the [http://www.un.org/News/ossg/sg/ UN Secretary-General] and the [http://www.un.org/Docs/sc/ UN Security Council].
*The voice-over telling the viewer what the test phrase is is a reference to game shows like ''[[Wikipedia:Password (game)|Password]]'', where something similar would occur so that the viewers knew what the password was.
*Judging by Strong Sad's T-shirt, "The Sturge" is short for [[Wikipedia:Sturgeon|sturgeon]], a large, rare fish and is an obvious spoof of radio stations named after animals. For example, ''[[IMDb:tt0077097|WKRP in Cincinnati]]'' had the mascot "the WKRP Carp."
*"Heckle or jeckle" is a reference to the [[Wikipedia:Terrytoons|Terrytoons]] cartoon [http://www.toonopedia.com/hekljekl.htm Heckle and Jeckle].
*Strong Bad calling Strong Sad "Greystoke" is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Tarzan|Tarzan]].
*The short theme heard while Marzipan listens to public radio is reminiscent of the [http://www.npr.org/programs/asc/features/atc_theme/ theme] to the [http://www.npr.org National Public Radio] program "[[Wikipedia:All Things Considered|All Things Considered]]". Interestingly, on May 8, 2005, The Brothers Chaps [[All Things Considered Interview - 8 May 2005|were interviewed]] about the Homestar Runner website on the show, and a clip from the Public Radio segment of this email was featured.
*Like most U.S. college radio stations, WSBD has a frequency in the lower part of the FM spectrum (between 88 and 92).
*It's interesting that the sender's name is Fraser, since the title character on the TV show [[Wikipedia:Frasier|Frasier]] is a radio psychiatrist.


===Fast Forward===
* $7.50 is the same amount of money that Strong Bad asks "Simone" for in "[[bottom 10]]."

== DVD Version ==
*If the angle is changed (to view the mid-toon Easter Eggs), Strong Sad's shirt has both sleeves in this version.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.
=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]], [[Strong Sad]], Mike's Strong Sad)

'''MIKE:''' This is a... commentary.

'''MATT:''' Look—

'''MIKE:''' Be— Be a character.

'''MATT:''' Okay. Who— Which character, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' Be Strong Sad. Strong Sad's never joined me for commentary before.

'''MATT:''' Okay, we'll see how that works out.

'''MIKE:''' All right. Oh, Strong Sad's in this one, I didn't even think about it.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I ''am'' in the one, Mike.

'''MIKE:''' This is— You're pretty good in this. Did you actually do the voice?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't want to talk about what happened while we were doing that.

'''MIKE:''' Did they give you things?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I was given some things...

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

'''STRONG SAD:''' For—

'''MIKE:''' Did they drug you? or, just—

'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't know, Mike!

'''MIKE:''' You don't remember?

'''STRONG SAD:''' I just know that?

'''MIKE:''' Is it all a blur?

'''STRONG SAD:''' All this— I would kind of black out, and all of the sudden there was this horrible voice coming forward from my mouth.

'''MIKE:''' I kind of like it better than your regular voice.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Oh.

'''MIKE:''' I can kind of do your— good impression of you, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' See, look, there's— that's me.

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' Yeah, this could be you, too.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Ah, that's terrible.

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' No, it sounds pretty good.

'''STRONG SAD:''' No, it sounds awful.

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' No, I don't— It sounds just like you, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't think so, Mike.

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' But do ''that'' voice.

'''STRONG SAD:''' Do—

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' Do the radio personality voice, Strong Sad.

'''STRONG SAD:''' ''{In radio host voice}'' Okay! Maybe I will! For a little while! But it hurts! So I'm gonna stop!

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' ''{sarcastically}'' Oh, that's so great! That was great!

'''MATT:''' Yeah, how you doing, Strong Sad?

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' Well, I'm doing pretty good, I guess.

'''MATT:''' This is pretty talented. Matt is talking to Strong Sad at the same time.

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' This— This is the magic of computer technology.

'''MATT:''' So, Strong Sad, that phrase, "the fish was delish and it made quite a dish"—

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' Yeah?

'''MATT:''' Uh, there was this place in Brooklyn I used to eat called—

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' That—

'''MATT:''' —called Giando On The Water, and it was a great little restaurant on the Brooklyn side, right under the Williamsburg bridge.

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' Oh.

'''MATT:''' So I wrote an online review of it on, uh, zagat.com or something—

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' Oh, yeah?

'''MATT:''' —and under "user comments" I said that the fish was delish and it made quite a dish.

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' That's pretty good.

'''MATT:''' You can't find that online, anymore, I looked, actually.

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' That's pretty good. I wonder what ''{sounding more and more like Mike}'' Stoops and Gusso have been up to lately. I— I— I usually am not awake at that time, so I— I don't get to hear their hilarious—

'''MATT:''' You're turning less and less into Strong Sad the longer you do it.

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' Aww.

'''MIKE:''' Oh, no! It's going away!

'''MATT:''' And now there's Mike!

'''MIKE:''' Augh.

'''MATT:''' Mike— And I love that part in the background. Mike is just being the other dudes hanging out in the studio, and just going, "Yeah! You got it! Yeah!" Good job. So, what— that's, uh— there's "highball", "hiyah"—

'''MIKE:''' And—

'''MATT:''' —and "ah-choo"?

'''MIKE:''' "Ah-choo." ''{indecipherable}''

'''MATT:''' ''{indecipherable}''

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' I dunno.

'''MIKE:''' Homestar says, "To s—" Oh, that's our friend Rusty's song.

'''MATT:''' It is.

'''MIKE:''' The very end of it.

''{Pause}''

'''MATT:''' Oh, why do they do that at college radio stations? They put that little sticker on the CD and, like, make the D.J. have to read that thing. So they're always like—

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' Track— I mean, the track number— who care— you don't have— like on any other radio, no other radio would say—

'''MIKE:''' I— I like— I think track number three is a good track.

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

'''MIKE:''' Seriously. I think that if you listened— go listen to 10 albums and I think that track number three's—

'''MATT:''' It's like problems—

'''MIKE:''' —probably going to be a hit.

'''MATT:''' It's like putting C for an answer on a Scantron test.

'''MIKE:''' I used to— I used to count the C's. If C didn't win, I'd go back and change some.

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

'''MIKE:''' C or D.

'''MATT:''' Nice. Uh, originally we were going to use our friend Ariana chanting there, who actually knows some Sanskrit prayers, and so, we had her, but then we thought that she might take offense.

'''MIKE:''' May have been sacrilegious.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. We don't want to offend—

'''MIKE:''' If they were real prayers.

'''MATT:''' Hey, the Portly Washboy looks kind of like the kid from the old Boychicks Deli sign over in Orchar— or, Georgetown.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' Georgetown!

'''MATT:''' Remember him?

'''MIKE:''' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' He's about to inhale this entire sub.

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughs}'' I got celery— ce— celery-flavored soda from Boychicks Deli.

'''STRONG SAD:''' That stuff is good!

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' Oh, yeah! You're back! We're both back!

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'm out of here—

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' ''{simultaneously}'' This is so cool!

'''STRONG SAD:''' I'm out of here now.

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' No, stay! Hang around! This is—

'''STRONG SAD:''' I don't like you!

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' Oh, man!

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

'''MIKE'S STRONG SAD:''' That was great.

'''MATT:''' Poster just fell.

===Fun Facts===
*"Hiyah" was Homestar's similarly-pronounced exclamation from [[montage]]. "Ah-choo" was probably supposed to be "Ahct-poo" from [[Homestar Presents: Presents]].

Gus: Time's up

I doubt "Nana" is a reference to Cheat Commando's...O's. They just happened to use the word in both toons. Seeing the sports court in "Yello Dello" doesn't make it a reference to "Jorb Well Done."
I changed "is" to "might be."
-FatPamPam

Agreed, FPP. Also, perhaps we could mention that Trogdor's "voice" is akin to any computer-generated voice synthesizer, much like Stephen Hawking's "voice." -FireLily

Anyone know who deleted my comment on Nana being a reference to Ice Climber? It seems relevant because A. It's winter, thus Ice; and B. There is a reference to NES games also on the site in [[japanese cartoon]]. -BegyLips

Did Trogdor ever speak in Peasants Quest? Because the game would not work on my system. -Everybody!

:Yes he did, right at the end. --[[User:Kilroy|''[[User:Kilroy|Kilroy]]/[[User talk:Kilroy|talk]]'']] 19:37, 22 Dec 2004 (MST)

Duplicate Characters

Gus: /* Screenshots of Twin Characters */

{{about|phenomenon within the Homestar Runner universe}} {{for|[[Cheat Commandos]] twins|Blue Laser Babies}}

[[Image:pizzaz.png|thumb|Twin Strong Bads]]
'''Twin characters''' is a phenomenon that occurs several times throughout the [[Homestar Runner (Flash cartoon)|Homestar Runner]] universe, where a single character appears more than once in the same scene.

==Appearances==

*'''Debut:''' [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]]
:At the end [[Homestar Runner|Homestar]] as Angus Young and [[Strong Bad]] as Homestar as Angus Young are shown. Earlier, Strong Bad and [[The Goblin]] as Strong Bad were seen.
*[[Everybody Knows It]]
:Toward the end of the song, three [[The Cheat|The Cheats]] are seen dancing together.
*[[Malloween Commercial]]
:Two [[Marshie]]s are seen stacked on top of each other.
*[[Decemberween Teen Girl Squad]]
:At the judges' table, two [[Arrow'd Guy|Arrow'd Guys]] are seen.
*Email [[pizzaz]]
:Strong Bad conducts an interview of himself, in that he is asking the questions, and another him is answering them. Strong Bad seems to find this perfectly normal, even though the two Strong Bads interview, mock, yell at, plead with and bribe each other. However, the sight of two Strong Bads simultaneously makes [[The Cheat's Head Exploding|The Cheat's head explode]].
*[[Senorial Day]]
:[[Bubs]] holds a Bubsotathon, in which Homestar throws fireworks while on both sides of the screen at once. The Flash file shows that the one on the right wears a mustache.
*[[Main Page 23]]
:Rolling over [[Store]] will show Homestar facing away from you, saying the word ''store'', as well as another Homestar walking in the background with a simple exchange of "Sup, man?".
*[[Halloween Potion-ma-jig]]
:During one of the possible endings, in which Homestar becomes a [[Wikipedia:Cyclops|cyclops]], he is frightened by the fact that there is only a single [[Marzipan]], and that he hasn't been dating twins the whole time. Also, Homestar Runner can change into a twin Marzipan, although an odd side effect is quickly discovered.
*[[Fall Float Parade]]
:Two fez-wearing [[Homsar]]s go past, and Marzipan takes notice of the double.
*[[highschool]]
:The [[Free_Petry_Dish,_USA_Variation#Homestarmecium|Homestarmecium]] divides itself several times, ultimately creating eight copies and causing the Strongbadiophage to freak out.
*[[Seasonal Sweaters]]
:Several times during the song, there are two or more Marzipans shown.
*[[rock opera]]
:Several times through the song, there are either multiple Marzipans or multiple The Cheats.
